1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Let us pray for If ye forgive men their trespasses,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Matthew six fourteen,

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: My dear precious Savior, you paid the ultimate price with

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: your own life to ransom me from the cludges of

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: sin and death. You did for me what I could

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: never do for myself. You took the punishment for my

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: sins and died in my place while I was get

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: a sinner. You forgave me all the years of sinning

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: and gave me the greatest gift of all eternal life.

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: There is nothing I can do to ever repay you

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: for this enormous debt of love I owe you. The

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: least I can do is forgive those who trespass against me,

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: even as you forgave me when I sinned against you, Lord.

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: If I hold on to the resentment and anger towards

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: those who have sinned against me, you will not forgive

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: me of sin in my heart. If I forgive others,

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: then you will forgive me. No one will ever sin

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: against me like the sin you, an innocent man, experienced

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: in my place. Teach me how to forgive, So why

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: don't get tangled up in the snares of the enemy

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: and can walk before you with a clear conscience. Purify

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: my heart, Lord and wash me of all unforgiveness in

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,360

65
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: and Cohen, we you're a ministry with one mission, and

66
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: that is to make this side of eternity look more

67
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: like Heaven. Period. That's it. That's what we're here to do.

68
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: And the way that we do that is by equipping

69
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: the church to dream again. And we have the awesome

70
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: privilege of doing that this weekend. Can I get a

71
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: hand raise? If you were here for the conference Stare

72
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: to Dream Conference. For those of you who didn't come,

73
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: I love you and you really missed it. You really

74
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: missed it. Actually, we have a quick probivity that we

75
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: wanted to show you because God showed up and showed

76
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: off and Heaven invaded Earth. So we can go ahead

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: and play that. Only time time will tell them. Because

78
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm proven wrong. I was made to be a legend

79
00:04:50,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: for the kingdom. This is my moment to run. I

80
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: was all to win. I was to win. I don't

81
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: win the bubbles. I was borne to win. This is

82
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: what it means to dream. It means it's my ability

83
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: to go so deep and connect so much with a

84
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: completely different realm that I'm actually so connected to something

85
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: bigger than me that then I have the ability to

86
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: pull it down and to give it to the world

87
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: around me. This is what it means to dream. I

88
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: was born to win. I was born to win. Come on,

00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: you to write, and you've been a little bit resistant

113
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: for all the reasons. Is that fair to say? Well?

114
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Used to say yes? Yes? Will you say it like

115
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: you mean it? Okay, get on that journal. You're going

116
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: to find pages and their blank, and so what it's

117
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: going to look like, somebodys is you're gonna sit down

118
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: with God and it's going to be blank, and your

119
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: mind is going to have no idea what to write,

120
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: and you're going to forget why he asked you to write,

121
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: and you're going to forget the words and everything, and

122
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: all he's gonna do is ask you to open up

123
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: the pages, and the Holy Spirit is going to use

124
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: your pen. He's gonna use your pen. He's actually gonna

125
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: give you Heaven's sound. He's gonna give you Heaven's words,

126
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: and on that blank piece of paper, he's going to

127
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: fill it with the creativity of Heaven. So don't don't cop,

128
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: don't google how to, don't look at other writers, don't

129
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: think back to what you used to do. He's actually

130
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: going to give you something that's new and fresh that

131
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: a very specific target really really needs. It's a target market.

132
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: And I want you to have a picture of whoever

133
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: that is on your desk as you're writing, and I

134
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: want you to write it to that one. But I

135
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: want you to know that that one will echo into eternity.

136
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Okay you reckon? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. So please don't

137
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: let me go home with full luggage of merchandise because

138
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: my director of operations husband will kill me. So we

139
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: also have a merch table out back that we do

140
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: have some extra merch and books and journals and workbooks

141
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: and Bridgeway has been so incredible and that they are

142
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: actually going to be launching a small group study guide.

143
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: So if you are interested in getting involved or doing that,

144
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: you can come get these out at the table and

145
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: join us in this journey of dreaming. Because we do

146
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: believe that it is a year to dream. It is

147
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a year to dream. So today, if you were taking notes,

148
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: we are going to title it free to Dream, Free

149
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: to Dream. And the reason that we are going to

150
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: tackle freedom today is because when we I'll just say,

151
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: John Fitch, where's John Fitch? This is the last time

152
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him credit for this quote. Okay,

153
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: John Fitz said something to me as we've been working

154
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: together on this conference, and he said, you know that

155
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: the level of your dreaming is dependent upon the level

156
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: of your freedom. I know. I was like, okay, I'm

157
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: now officially stealing that quote. The level of your dreaming

158
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: is equivalent to the level of your freedom. So for

159
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 1: a lot of us, we have already a lot of

160
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: preconceived notions around what it means to dream. A lot

161
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: of us have had disappointments in the dreaming process. We've

162
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: questioned God. Some of us even put our dreams on

163
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: the shelf because you know, we're moms, or we're adults,

164
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: or too practical or logical, or all of the things.

165
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: And Heaven is here today to remind you that actually

166
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: it is your job to dream. But why we're going

167
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: to tackle freedom is that it really is dependent. Your

168
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: dreams are dependent on the level of freedom. And really

169
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: the reason that this message is so important is at

170
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: number one, God's name is glorified when we dream, and

171
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: I think we forget that his name is actually glorified.

172
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: It says you in math Book of Matthew, it says

173
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: you are the salt of the earth. You say me,

174
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: I says you are the salt of earth. You are

175
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: the light of the world. Neither do people light a

176
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put

177
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: it on its stand and it gives light to everyone

178
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: in the house. Are you guys following me on the slides.

179
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that they're going to see

180
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: some of these visuals that would be super helpful. In

181
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: the same way, let your light shine before others, that

182
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: they may see your good deeds and glorify your father

183
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: in heaven. So part of this is that actually when

184
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: we step up and we say yes, and we dream

185
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: with God, and we do what he is doing, and

186
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: we speak what he is speaking, we actually glorify his name.

187
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: It says that there. It says that they may see

188
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: whose good deeds yours and then glorify who. So by

189
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: dreaming you are actually glorifying the name of God. The

190
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: second reason that this is so important is that the

191
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: whole world is waiting. I think we actually undermine our

192
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: role as a children of God. Don't hear me wrong.

193
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: I am not suggesting that we are above him. We

194
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: are not even close. However, I think we're undermining the

195
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: role that we get to play. It says in the

196
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: Book of Romans for the creation waits an eager expectation

197
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: for the children of God to be revealed. Our small

198
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: mindedness doesn't serve anyone, and today we're actually going to

199
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: start to break the back of scarcity and small mindedness

200
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: so we could actually serve the world the way that

201
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: God intended. He's coming to a ready church. Some of

202
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: us have been praying God come back and save us.

203
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: He's like, ah, so you play a role. He's coming

204
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: for a ready church. And so he has called us

205
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: to actually dream with him, because the whole world is

206
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: waiting for the dream he's put on the inside of

207
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: you to manifest to the world around us. What does

208
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: the world manifest mean? It means to display, to show,

209
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: to demonstrate, the reason that this is so important is

210
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: that it's actually it was one of the core jobs

211
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: of Jesus here on earth that says, I have come

212
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: John ten ten, You guys know what to say it

213
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: with me. I have come that you may have life abundantly.

214
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: Who said that? What does abundantly mean? Fullest all the things?

215
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: It's my favorite thing to say all the things. I

216
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: have come that you might have life and have some

217
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: good things, all things. But yet what we've done is

218
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: we've actually accommodated that just to fit the narrative around us.

219
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: And what he's calling us to do is to actually

220
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: raise our conviction to fit his truth, not what we

221
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: see around us, what he's put within us, and he's

222
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: put the Holy Spirit within us to do even greater

223
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: works than even Jesus did. The fourth thing is that

224
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,239
Speaker 1: it was literally how Jesus taught the disciples to pray.

225
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Remember when they went in, they were like, okay, can

226
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: you just set the record straight and teach us how

227
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: to pray? He says, sure, yep, I'll do that. Our

228
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: beloved Father, Matthew sixth nine, dwelling in the heavenly realms,

229
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: May the glory of your name be the center point

230
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: on which our lives turn. First of all, that's incredible

231
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: May the glory of your name be the center point

232
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: on which we turn That already tells me if I'm

233
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: a ballerina and the you have you ever seen them

234
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: do the pirouets? Have you even tried to do that?

235
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: Why would we try? Right? What do they have? They

236
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: have their eyes fixed on one thing. If we if

237
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: we envisioned this, it's May the glory of your name

238
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: be the center on which my life turns, which already

239
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: tells us where I should be looking, not on the

240
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: world around me. I need to be looking right at

241
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: him and his glory. It's my center point, right. But

242
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: then he goes on to say, manifest your kingdom realm,

243
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: and cause every purpose to be fulfilled on earth just

244
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: as it is in heaven. He actually calls us to

245
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: partner with God in our prayer. That's where we fight

246
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: our battles. But when we're fighting these battles, what our

247
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: job is to do is to actually pull Heaven to

248
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: this earth and then these really care. A fifth reason

249
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: why this conversation, this message is so important is that

250
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: it's actually Jesus's greatest commission to us. He says, go,

251
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: if you'd after me, go turned your neighbor and say,

252
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: go turned your other neighbor and say, you have no

253
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: idea what you just got yourself into today. Go therefore,

254
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them

255
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: in the name of the Father and of the Son

256
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: and of the Holy Spirit. He says, go, we can't

257
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: not do this church. My son Malachi, who's here today.

258
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: We got to go to a concert. Seferdic was traveling

259
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: around with the Elevation Worship, which was so amazing, and

260
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: this was the one date night he wanted to do.

261
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll take it. I'll take date night tonight.

262
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I'll do that one. So we live in bend Or again,

263
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: and we traveled all the way over to Eugene to

264
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: see him. So he's been listening to Steve as he

265
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: falls asleep at night, which is amazing. If your kids

266
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: want to fall asleep to someone just outside of this

267
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: man right here, Pastor Peter Steve verdict right. So he

268
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: comes down one morning and he says, so Steve's son

269
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: happened to ask him on a sermon the other day,

270
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: why is it that like red seas aren't being parted

271
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: and blind people aren't seeing in dead man? You know,

272
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: aren't rising anymore. And I was like, this is breakfast,

273
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: by the way, this is that time in the morning

274
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: as a mom that you're like trying to just drink

275
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: your coffee as fast as you know. And I was like, well,

276
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: what did Steve say? I'm looking at my husband and

277
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're ready? Are you ready to answer that question?

278
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: And he says, I don't know. The video cut off

279
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, all right, so I said

280
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: what any mom says, what do you think? Malachai? Mom

281
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: and dad write that down? What do you think? He says,

282
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I go, okay, Well, have you

283
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: prayed for someone that's blind to be seen? He says no,

284
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: I'll ask you the same question. When was the last

285
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: time that you prayed for someone who was blind to

286
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: be seen, dead, to be rised? Come on, I was

287
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: so convicted drinking my coffee. I just had to not

288
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: have the conversation anymore. So convicted. And this weekend we

289
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: actually had I wrote this book. My best friend was

290
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: killed in a car accident over twenty years ago on

291
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: a mission strip, and her mom got to be with

292
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: us at this conference this weekend. This is a woman

293
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,239
Speaker 1: who lost her daughter on her seventeenth mission strip, she

294
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: and her husband went down to Mexico and prayed for

295
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: resurrection life over their daughter, and they prayed like they

296
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: believed it. They stormed the gates on behalf of Mallory

297
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: and they say, we pray for resurrection life standard. That

298
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: was their standard. She releases yesterday. In my head, I

299
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: was like, where's she going with this? Where's she going

300
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: with this? Because Malory didn't raise to life. So I'm

301
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: sitting on the front row and I was like, this

302
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: is not a good segue for me, you know, the

303
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: quirk human Can we be real today too? Of like

304
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: Cindy Smith, this is not a good segue for me.

305
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: She doesn't raise to life. And Cindy, without missing a beat, says,

306
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: we prayed for resurrection life, and we have watched resurrection life.

307
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: We have watched people from the minute that Mallory die

308
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: till to this day, we have watched the body of

309
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Christ rise Again. Gives me goose from saying this, And

310
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: so what she exemplifies, even in this moment is that

311
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: they had a high standard and no expectation. So yes,

312
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: there are some times that in this process with God,

313
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: that there are questions that we won't understand on this

314
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: side of eternity. Bill Johnson says all the time that

315
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: if I can't understand the mysteries of Heaven, I can't

316
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: understand the beautiful revelation of Heaven either. And so believe

317
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: me from the deepest part of my heart, there are

318
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: some questions we don't get the answer for. But that's

319
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: why there is a God and we are not him.

320
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: But when we have a standard that says I will

321
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: pray like I mean it, I will go after what

322
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: Heaven is doing. I will have a high standard, and

323
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: then I'm actually going to let go of my expectation

324
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: so God can do what God wants to do in

325
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: his will, in his way and his time. And though

326
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: we didn't see Mallory's resurrection life, we have seen the

327
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: church come alive again because of her message. So I

328
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: would like to propose to you today with what Pastor

329
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: john said, our level of dreaming is dependent on our

330
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: level of freedom. So we're going to go after freedom

331
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: today because I'd like to propose that our dreams are

332
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: an offshoot of a real relationship with God, actually sitting

333
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: with God, abiding with him, the offshoot of a real

334
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: relationship with him and freedom with him is going to

335
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: be dreaming. John eight thirty six says, so if the

336
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: sun sets you free, you will be free. Indeed, So

337
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: I think sometime we have to recognize, Okay, so what

338
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: is it that if if He came to give us

339
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 1: life in life more abundantly, and it says that he

340
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: has set us free, I think it's good to remember

341
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: what are we free from? What are we free from?

342
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: What we're free from is two things. We're free from

343
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: the bondage of sin. So when we became believers, we

344
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: actually took our old nature and we adopted new nature.

345
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: We are now children of God. We now have his nature.

346
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: We now walk in his nature. Everybody say I walk

347
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: in his nature. I walk in his nature. You are

348
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: actually filled with the Holy Spirit to walk in His nature,

349
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: which means you have been set free. Second Corinthians three

350
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: seventeen says, now the Lord is the spirit, and where

351
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: the spirit of the Lord is, that means there's freedom

352
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: on the inside of you. He also says that we

353
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: are free from the penalty of sin for eternity, which

354
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: means In Roman six twenty three, it says for the

355
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: wages of sin is death, but the gift of God

356
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: is eternal life. So we are free. But before I continue,

357
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: is there anyone who does not know Jesus today in

358
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: this room? I'm going to ask a bold question, and

359
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: if you're online, I want you to acknowledge us too,

360
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: because as we go through this process today, we are

361
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: actually going to go after freedom. But if you do not,

362
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: if you're not first set free, it's really hard to

363
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: walk up the rest of your freedom. So is there

364
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: anyone in the room today who you do not know

365
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: Jesus and you have not been set free? Anyone? This

366
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: is your chance? Praise God? Okay, good? So then are

367
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: you Here's the first thing. How many of you know?

368
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: It's one thing to get set free and it's another

369
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: to stay free? Preach shout. I got a yes in

370
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: the background. Yes, all of us know that we have

371
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: been set free. So that's a baseline. So the good

372
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: news is today you are already free. You did that

373
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: when you committed your life to God and you pointed

374
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: your life at the cross and you said for you,

375
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: from you, with you, by you, you, you're free. Everyone

376
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: right that at the top of the notes, I am free.

377
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: Now some of us immediately are going to go. Yeah,

378
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: but you don't understand my circumstances. You don't understand the economy,

379
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: you don't understand my bank account, you don't understand the

380
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: person I'm sitting next to. You don't understand something. Right,

381
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm not as free as you think. I am well

382
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: part of though. Again, what Jesus would say it was

383
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, is I didn't ask you. Right.

384
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: Your freedom is a base around what's going on around you. Remember,

385
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: you are already free. You wrote that down on your notes.

386
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: I am free. So actually I'm not living from this

387
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: world to that world. I'm living from this world to

388
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: this world. I live from victory. So believe me. I

389
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: know that sometimes circumstances feel hard and big and overwhelming,

390
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: but you don't live from that vantage point. That's what

391
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: we are actually been freed from. So we are we

392
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: are freed from excuse me, we are freed from sin

393
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: and freed from the penalty of sin. Here's what we're

394
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: freed for to live life to its fullest. I am

395
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: now to live from heaven for freedom. That's your new job.

396
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: That's your new job. You now have the capacity to

397
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: actually live from victory, to live from heaven to live

398
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: from God's vantage point. But what happens a lot of

399
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: times is we've trained ourselves to just make decisions and

400
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: to do what we see around us, as opposed to

401
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: actually realize that I've been given a fresh set of eyes,

402
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: and now I get to live from freedom for freedom.

403
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: That's our aim in life. When we look at John

404
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: ten ten and it does say in his word, I

405
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: have come that you may have life and have it

406
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: to the full. The other translation says, my purpose is

407
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: to give them a rich and satisfying life. I'd like

408
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: to propose to you today that if you don't feel

409
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: like life feels rich in satisfying, it's because you're not

410
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: living from and for freedom, and it might be just

411
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: because you've forgotten. Today we are going to remind you

412
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 1: that you actually get to live from heaven, so you

413
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: get to live a rich and satisfying life. Yeah, that

414
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: is worth Yes. So this is where we're going to

415
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: dive into today because to my point of it's one

416
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: thing to get free and to give our lives to Jesus,

417
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: and it's another to stay free. And anybody who's ever

418
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: struggled with an addiction knows how true this really is.

419
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: I think all of us do right, because the world

420
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: throws a lot of us, and the enemy throws a

421
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: lot at us. And if you were here this week

422
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: and you recognize that a lot of times, even those

423
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: voices in our head in that chatter, the one that

424
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 1: says you don't hear God's voice, and you're never going

425
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: to be enough, and you won't amount to anything, and

426
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: you're not important. In all these things are up against

427
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: the truth. But if you remember, God always gives us truth,

428
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: and then the enemy will come in and try to

429
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: manipulate it true or true. So today we no longer

430
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: will fall prey to the manipulation. His truth is what

431
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: it is, what it is, what it is, he says,

432
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: I'm the beginning from the end. Period. This is actually

433
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: when we dove in yesterday and we listen more to

434
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: Cindey smith story after she lost her daughter. She said,

435
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: at some level, I just had to decide that God

436
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: was good. Period. No comma, no dot dot dot, no

437
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: semi colon, no colon, no X nothing period. God is good, period.

438
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: I am free. Period. And so what we're going to

439
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: do today is we're actually going to start breaking the

440
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: back of anything that is trying to keep you from

441
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: walking out your freedom. And the way that we're going

442
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: to do that is we're actually going to study biblical

443
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: history to understand some of these root patterns. So we

444
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: don't wander in the wilderness. If you get my drift,

445
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: turned your neighbor and say would you stop? Say would

446
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: you stop? Would you stop wandering in the wilderness. Yeah,

447
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go to the book of Exodus. Do

448
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: you have your Bible's Exodus? People like Exodus? Do you

449
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: remember that when you were little, there's like your Bible

450
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: teacher was like, go ahead and turn to Leviticus. You're like, oh,

451
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: my God, can Wedia like Philippians or Romans or Hebrews

452
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 1: or nope, go to Exodus. We've the God is so

453
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: amazing that in his word he just gives us. There's

454
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: so much truth that we just complicate. We just complicate everything.

455
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: It's simple. The word of God is so simple. Stupid heart.

456
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: You can hashtag that sampolis simple stupid heart. It's simple,

457
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: stupid heart. Okay, So what we're ever going to start

458
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: with this story is we're gonna start where God meets

459
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: Moses and starts to give him instruction Exodus three, the

460
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Lord says, I have indeed seen the misery of my

461
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because

462
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.

463
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: So I have come down to rescue them from the

464
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out

465
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: of the land into a good and spacious land, a

466
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: land flowing with milk and honey. This already tells you

467
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: how good God is. He's like, I have prepared something

468
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: that is abundant. It's flowing with milk and honey. So

469
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: now go, everyone, say go, go, go one more time. Go.

470
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people,

471
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: the Israelites, out of Egypt. But Moses said to God,

472
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: who am I? That I should go to Pharaoh and

473
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: bring the Israelites out of Egypt? Can we pause right there?

474
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: Who's ever said that to God? Do you know that

475
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: moment that He's like, write the book and you're like,

476
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: who am I? I don't know that. I've never done that,

477
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: not one time in my life. But if I did,

478
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: how many of you automatically? When God asks you to

479
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: do something, It's like we forget that He knows all things.

480
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: Do you know who you're talking to? If I was God,

481
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: I'd be like, are you talking to me? God? Do

482
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: you know my past? Do you know the problems that again?

483
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Do you know the mistakes that I've made? Do you

484
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: know the failures? Do you know where I come from?

485
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Do you know who my dad is? You know who

486
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: my mom is? Do you know? And he's like, are

487
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: you are you talking to me? Can you imagine being God?

488
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: Moses says God, God, do you know who I am?

489
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: First of all? I love what God says. He says,

490
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: and God says I will be with you. He doesn't.

491
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: He's not even gonna play the game of like trying

492
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: to go I love you, Moses and you're the best.

493
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: He's not even going to affirm his ego. He's not

494
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: even gonna sit there and tell him all the wonderful

495
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: things and pull out strength Finders and Anyo Graham and

496
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: disk In all those things and go, look at you

497
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: are just this challenger and you were beautiful in my sight?

498
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: What does he say? I will be with you? Last

499
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: I checked? That's all we need now. Don't get me wrong.

500
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: I think the tools are incredible. I think strategy is amazing.

501
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: As my director of operations, and I say all the time,

502
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: do better, faster, Go, go, go, And we're like pulling

503
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: out tools and we all we can along. Weird job.

504
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: We got this tool, and we got this tool we

505
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: got I love them, I love the formula, I love strategy,

506
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: I love technique. I love do better faster. But sometimes

507
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: we become so focused on the thing that we have

508
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: forgotten the gift. And the gift is that God simply says,

509
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: I will be with you. That's enough. That's enough. And

510
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: then he goes on to say, and this will be

511
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: assigned to you, that it is I who have sent you.

512
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you

513
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: will worship God on this mountain. And Moses says to God,

514
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: Suppose I love that. Suppose I'm going to do what

515
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: you're asking me to do. Is this like us in

516
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: our quiet time with God, We're like, Okay, let's let's

517
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: let's say in theory, I do what you're asking me

518
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: to do. Let's say in theory, I do this. Can

519
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: you give me my water, buddy? He says. Suppose I

520
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: go to the Israelites thinking, and I say to them,

521
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: the God of your father's has sent me to you,

522
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: and they ask me what is his name? Then what

523
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: shall I tell them details? Moses, for real, that's your question.

524
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: God says to Moses, I am who I am, I

525
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: am who I am. This is what you are to

526
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: say to the Israelites. I Am has sent me to you.

527
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: So this is where we're gonna lean, and we're actually

528
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna start to lean into chapter twelve. But that paints

529
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: the picture of a conversation that God has with Moses.

530
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: To do the impossible, to go where he's never gone,

531
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: to do what he's never done. This is an invitation

532
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: for him to dream what heaven's dreaming, to do what

533
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: Heaven's doing, and to partner with Eternity. It's on its

534
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: grandest mission to bring Jesus back to Earth so that

535
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: we can prepare the way for God's final return. This

536
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 1: is what it looks like to dream. So we're going

537
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: to start in the book chapter twelve X Chapter twelve,

538
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: and this is towards the end of the plagues. Here's

539
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: what we have to understand as we go into this.

540
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: And some of this detail is just so fascinating to me.

541
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: Did you know that the Israelites had actually been in

542
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: bondage for almost four hundred and thirty years. We're not

543
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: talking about a generation in bondage, not you're even your

544
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: grandparents grandparents. We're talking about four hundred and thirty years

545
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: of slavery. Talk about a mindset. This weekend, we win

546
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: after a mindset because we believe that you can, as believers,

547
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: do not conform to the patterns of this world, but

548
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Right. This

549
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: is an incredible piece to even Jesus's ministry. He's constantly

550
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: teaching people how to think. Why because the power of

551
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: our thoughts means everything. It means everything. It even patterns

552
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: our heart says, from the overflow of the heart, the

553
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: mouth speaks, right, but the actually the patterning of the

554
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: brain will start to speak to the heart, and then

555
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: from the overflow of the heart, and then they start

556
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: to interchangeably be one and the same. So this pattern

557
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: is four hundred and thirty years of slavery. The other

558
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: thing that I think is worth knowing is that the

559
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: plagues lasted somewhere in the ballpark of four to five months. Now.

560
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: Historians say they can't could totally confirm it. But when

561
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: you connect a few dots and you try to look

562
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: at everything. It's about four to five months. Does anybody

563
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: remember COVID after months, like I don't know, three days.

564
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: Do you remember when you went out go order something

565
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: on Amazon and you're like, this is gonna take seventeen hours.

566
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Why I used to get it yesterday? Do you remember

567
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: that or is that just me? I literally meant I

568
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: was like four days to get something from Amazon. Yes,

569
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: they were in the plagues. We're talking about water turning

570
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: to blood, frogs, lice, all these things. We're talking like

571
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: five months of just have So it's it's a decent

572
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: amount of time as when Moses actually gets to you know,

573
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: take the Tears of Lights with him and Pharas finally

574
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: like no more. Okay. Here's what's interesting though. Did you

575
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: know that the plagues were actually to confront the false gods?

576
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Oh man, we're going to talk about this today, So

577
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: if you want to leave, don't. We're locking the doors.

578
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: It actually, these plagues confronted the idol, the place that

579
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: people were putting their dependency that they were never designed

580
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: to put it. I know we're going to do this today.

581
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: God wasn't doing this to punish people. He was doing

582
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: this to set the record straight that there will be

583
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: no other gods. You will serve no one else other

584
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: than me. You won't serve anxiety, you won't serve fear,

585
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: you won't serve your path, you won't serve today, you

586
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: won't serve the government. You will serve me. And so

587
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: I have to send these plagues to restore the dependency

588
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: and me, this is why he does this. He's that good.

589
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: He's that good. And I know that there's days, believe me,

590
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: I have days that you go, God, are you good.

591
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the day that my best friend died.

592
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: And anyone who's lost, anyone, there's a moment that you go,

593
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'll ever get up again, and

594
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: you wonder, God, are you good? And he is that good.

595
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: And sometimes he has to blow our mind to get

596
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: after our heart because that's what he's after. So even

597
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: though again the Israelites are ultimately going to be after

598
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: the dream, their freedom, all the things, but he was

599
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: after their heart. And it was also a heart that

600
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: had been in slavery and bondage for almost four hundred

601
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: and thirty years as a people. And so this was

602
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: a big undertaking but God has a purpose. Even in

603
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: the midst of the plagues. It says the overall plagues

604
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: were signs and marvels given to the God of Israel

605
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: to answer Pharaoh's taunt that he does not know God,

606
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: but he says, the Egyptians shall know that I am

607
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: the Lord. So then here's when Moses goes back, go back.

608
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: If we rewted, he goes, who am I to do this?

609
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: The other interesting thing is that he led six hundred

610
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: thousand people out of captivity. This wasn't six six hundred

611
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: thousand people. I live in Bend, Oregon. There's about one

612
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people, and that town, even though it's a

613
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: really small town, you generally don't see the same people

614
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: in the course of a year, just even in passing.

615
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a lot of people. So he's

616
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: leading a ton of people. So yeah, I get that

617
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: some of us are going to feel like the weight

618
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: of this is a lot, and it's bigger than you.

619
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be. It's supposed to be. And I

620
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: think part of this whole the process is so that

621
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: we start to put our dependency on God and we

622
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: just surrendered to his plan. It's supposed to be bigger

623
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: than you. It's supposed to be. So where we're going

624
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: to jump in is an Exodus twelve, verse thirty one.

625
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: This is finally when Pharaoh was like, okay, no Mark.

626
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: The Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron at night. He said,

627
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: get up and go away from my people, both you

628
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: and the people of Israel. Go and worship the Lord

629
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: as you have said. Take your flocks and your cattle

630
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: as you have said, and go, go, go, go and

631
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: pray that God will come to me. Also, he's like, go,

632
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: by the way, will you have first prayed from me too.

633
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: The Egyptians were trying to make the people hurry out

634
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: of land, for they said we will all be dead,

635
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: so they're like, go go, leave, go go. At the

636
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: end of four hundred and thirty years, on that same day,

637
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: all of the Lord's people left Egypt, and it was

638
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: a night to be remembered, for the Lord had brought

639
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: them out of the land of Egypt. This is very

640
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: similar to that moment that we finally go, God, I

641
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: will serve you. Only here's step one in the process

642
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: of freedom is you have to let go. You have

643
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: to let go, You have to let go of patterns.

644
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: You have to let go of traditions. They let go

645
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: of four hundred and thirty year traditions, worshiping false idols,

646
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: working the way that they worked right, And for a

647
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: lot of these people, doing what they were doing served

648
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: them until it didn't. So today I'm here to suggest

649
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: that you are going to need to let go of something.

650
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: And for some of you, that's something that's been plaguing

651
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: you for a long time. And God has been asking

652
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: you and asking you and asking you to let it go.

653
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: And I know this sounds crazy, but for some of you,

654
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: it's fear, it's anxiety, it's money, it's alcohol, it's an addiction.

655
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: It might even be a habit that got you to

656
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: where you are, but isn't necessarily going to take you

657
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: to where you've never been. This is like if we

658
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: were to lose weight, right, and the first idea, you know,

659
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: we laugh all the time, and this is so. I

660
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: actually asked a girlfriend of mine. I was like, you've

661
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: lost thirty pounds. How did you do it? She goes,

662
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: I walked more and eight less hard, simple, stupid hard,

663
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: simple stupid hard walk. She's like a walk more eight less.

664
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: But then she wanted to lose another ten pounds, and

665
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: that wasn't working anymore. We hit a plateau in our life.

666
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: Does it not work to walk more and eat less? No,

667
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: it actually works, works really well until it doesn't. And

668
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: now I might have to do some interval training to

669
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: get that next five pounds off. Do you see where

670
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm going. There's some of us that, Yeah, there are

671
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: some addictions and things that are just not in alignment

672
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: with you being a child of God, and we have

673
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: to let those go. I'm here to tell you today

674
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: I am a byproduct of doing that. I don't have

675
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: time to tell my story with addiction. But my husband

676
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: and I seventeen months ago decided to stop drinking. This

677
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: isn't because we were crazy alcohol. We were great drinkers,

678
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: But for us, we knew that it wasn't going to

679
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: take us where we've never been, and if we wanted

680
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: to live free, we knew it could not go with

681
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: us any longer. So today we will break addiction. If

682
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: you are sitting here today and you are a child

683
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: of God and you are ready to break addiction, we

684
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: will do that for some of us. Others are going

685
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: There's other little things that aren't bad, They just can't

686
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: go with us anymore, and we're going to need to

687
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: let go. We have to let go because it got

688
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: you here today, but it's not going to take you

689
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: to where you've never been. So as they continue on.

690
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: It's Exodus thirteen, verse three. It says, then Moses said

691
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: to the people, remember this day in which you went

692
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: out of Egypt, out of the land where you were

693
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: made to stay and work. For the Lord brought you

694
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: out of this place by a wonderful hand. This day

695
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: you are about to go out, and the Lord will

696
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: bring you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite,

697
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: the Amorrate, the Hybite, and the Jebusite, which he promised

698
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: to your father's to give you. It is the land

699
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: flowing with milk and honey. You will say to your

700
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: son on that day, it is because of what the

701
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.

702
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: It will be a special mark on your hand and

703
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: on your forehead to make people remember that the law

704
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: of the Lord is to be in your mouth, For

705
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: the Lord brought you out of Egypt with a powerful hand.

706
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: During their journey, the Israelites actually received a covenant in

707
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: agreement with God it was his promise. He promised that

708
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: I will take you where I day I will take you.

709
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: This is number two. You need to cling to the

710
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: promise He has given you. You need to remember. You

711
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: need to remember the day like your life and like

712
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: your dreams depend on it, because they do. You actually

713
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: need to cling to the revelation that God has given you.

714
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: You need to cling to the dream, that prophecy. Who's

715
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: received a prophecy that has not seen it manifested you have.

716
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: I want you right now to write that at the

717
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: top of your notes. Part of our journey is, yes,

718
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 1: receiving the prophecy, but then it is working it out

719
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: with fear and trembling. Know that God is preparing you

720
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: along the way so when you get to the blessing

721
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: you can hold the weight. But we have to work

722
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: towards the prophecy. Writing someone's like Peter. Jesus called Peter

723
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: get out of the boat. He gets out of the boat,

724
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: but then he's got to walk on water. He's got

725
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: to actually get out of the boat. That's on Peter.

726
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: You have to work out that prophecy as though it

727
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: means something, even when you don't see it. Do you

728
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: remember they left. The Israelites left, but did they immediately

729
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: step into the Promised land like they were they in

730
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: bondage and then they're like, ooh, milk and honey, hope,

731
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: he's so great. I will ask God about that, though,

732
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: I will. That would be amazing. The day that you

733
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: get the prophecy and then the day that you like

734
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 1: step out of those doors it happens, would be great,

735
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: but it would be cheap. Remember God's after character, he's

736
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: after heart, he's after longevity, he's after eternity. He's after eternity.

737
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: So what we have to do is the faithfulness. We

738
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: have to remember where we've come from to and not

739
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: in a bad way, but remember what God did. Some

740
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: of us remember our past. We remember the mistake, we

741
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: remember the disappointment. He doesn't want, he says, remember the

742
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: night that I called you free. Remember that night and

743
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: then cling to go to where I'm telling you to go,

744
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: and cling to it as though your life depend on it.

745
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: Because it does. It does, because the great hallway in

746
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: between liminal space. We talked about this this weekend. It's

747
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: a lot. It's a lot, and it is hard, and

748
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: it is challenging, and it is a lot. So you're

749
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: going to need to cling to it, and you're going

750
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: to have to start the practice of no longer looking

751
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: around you. You're just going to have to look at

752
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:33,959
Speaker 1: what God told you. It says, as we continue when

753
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: fourteen verse five, when the king of Egypt was told

754
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: that the people had left, Pharaoh and his servants changed

755
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: their minds. Can you imagine being them on that day? Oops,

756
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: that was not really a good plan. They said, what

757
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: is it that we have done? We have let Israel

758
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: go from working for us, oh Man. When Pharaoh came near,

759
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: the people of Israel looked and all the Egyptians coming

760
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: after them. The people of Israel looked back, and they

761
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: saw the Egyptians coming after them, and they were filled

762
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: with fear and cried out to the Lord. They said

763
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: to Moses, is it because there were no graves in

764
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: Egypt that you have taken us away to die in

765
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: the desert. What have you done to us in bringing

766
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: us out of Egypt? Did we not tell you in

767
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: Egypt leave us alone and let us serve the Egyptians.

768
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: It would have been better for us to serve the

769
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: Egyptians than to die here. We keep looking back at it,

770
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: and we look back, and instead of remembering freedom, we're

771
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: looking back at all the things. To the point that

772
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: this actually starts to share a little bit about that

773
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: liminal space. Is that what happens is if I don't

774
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: fully cling to the revelation that God has given me

775
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: and fully embody it and partner with what Heaven is doing,

776
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: and partner with what the prophecy is, and partner with

777
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 1: what the dream is, then I'm going to go back

778
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: to a familiar hell. I'm actually going to crave familiarity, survival, scarcity, stability.

779
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: I'd rather work there than die here. That's like saying

780
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: I'd rather work as a slave than die as a

781
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: free man. Why, because I'd like to propose that they

782
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: actually didn't have hold of the revelation. When we have

783
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: hold of a revelation, we know that actually this life

784
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: isn't just about this life. We actually get to live

785
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: forever and ever and ever and ever. So to die

786
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: as a free man who is like the best thing

787
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: in the world. When I live that way, I've actually

788
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: clung to what Jesus died for. So they look back

789
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: just like all this while I'm just walking through this

790
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: to not shame you and condemn you this is a

791
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: me too. I'm just going to reset our hearts in

792
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: our minds to understand that when this happens, we're almost

793
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: just going to kind of go back to step one one,

794
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: step two, step three, step four. If you're sitting here

795
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: today and you're like, this is a lot, I actually

796
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: voice memo Pastor Peter. I was like, I think I

797
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: have a four day conference in an hour and a

798
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: half sermon, So we're going to do you have this

799
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: for recording, and if you want, you can come by.

800
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: My team will actually send you some of these slides too,

801
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: because these steps are going to be important because sometimes

802
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: you will have to go back and you'll have to

803
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: do step one and let go again, and then you're

804
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: going to cling again, right, and then you're gonna actually

805
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: walk yourself through these steps over and over and never again.

806
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: And so when your tendency is to look back to

807
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: look at it, to look at the past, and you're

808
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: not remembering that freedom moment, you're gonna say, I love

809
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: what Moses says. He says, but then verse thirteen, But

810
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: Moses said that the people do not be afraid, be strong,

811
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: and see how the Lord will save you today for

812
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: the Egyptians. You have seen today you will never see again.

813
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: The Lord will fight for you. All you have to

814
00:45:54,560 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: do is keep still. Who's my like hyperactive achievers. This

815
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: is like an epidemic. It's called busy. It's called artificial significance.

816
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: That's what Bill Johnson says. Oops, is it a good one?

817
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: It's artificial significance. Another one is I wish I could steal,

818
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: But like the trademark services of Bill Johnson will come

819
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: find me. I can't steal that one. It was his.

820
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: He says. All you have to do is keep still.

821
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: Why do I want to be still? Someone give me

822
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: the verse when this whole thing started. What was his

823
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: whole point? What was God's whole point? I am I

824
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: want them to know that I am so ps sometimes

825
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: just be still and know that I am God. Then

826
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: Lord says to Moses, why do you cry tony? Tell

827
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: the people of Israel now keep going after you're still,

828
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: remember that I am cling to me again, and then

829
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: keep going. The Word says, So, the Lord's saved Israel

830
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: that day from the Egyptians, and the Israel saw the

831
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: Egyptians dead beside the sea. Israel saw the great power

832
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: which the Lord had used against the Egyptians, and the

833
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: people had the fear of the Lord. Again, they believed

834
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: in the Lord and in his servants Moses. If we

835
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: would continue on verse after verse, this is what's so

836
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: interesting about this story and me and us, we believe,

837
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: then we don't believe, and we believe, then we don't believe,

838
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: and we believe and we don't believe. Like these people

839
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: saw the red sea part, Like if we really walk

840
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: this out, these people saw the red sea part and

841
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: it swallowed Pharaoh's men and they believed. Then there's no water,

842
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: And what did they say? What shall we drink water?

843
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: You guys, you're almost at some level someone's got to

844
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: be like, hey, he actually poured water onto people and

845
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: killed them. I'm pretty sure he's gonna provide it some

846
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: But that's kind of what we do, Like we literally

847
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: forget the goodness of God. And I'd like to propose

848
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: us because again, what the Israelites are showing us is

849
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: that they continue to ask the things around them to

850
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: give them something that it wasn't designed to give them.

851
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: They're asking the world around them to give them certainty

852
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: and provision. And yes, again, believe me, there's baselines that

853
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: that makes so much sense until it doesn't, because that

854
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: thing is the idol. I've actually started putting my idol

855
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: in all of this. So then we see, you know,

856
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 1: they come, they believe, and then there's no water and

857
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: they're like, what shall we drink? And then there's no

858
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 1: food and said, we should have died by the Lord's

859
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: hand when we saw the pots of meat and ate

860
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: all the bread we wanted for you have brought us

861
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: into this desert to kill us all with hunger. Gosh.

862
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: Then they're asking questions like is the Lord among us

863
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: or not? Does God hear me or not? Let me

864
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: be very honest with you, The Lord is never not speaking.

865
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: It's are we actually hearing him. He's never not moving,

866
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: he's never not speaking, he's never not dreaming. The dreams

867
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: that you have, those are his. He wants them more

868
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: than you do. He wants them more than you do.

869
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: And so part of this again is going to be

870
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: this process of remember, when I actually take on his

871
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: freedom and I take on this new nature, and he's

872
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: got the Holy Spirit working on the inside of me,

873
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: he removes the veil, but sometimes that veil's going to

874
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: try to creep back over our eyes again, and so

875
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be our job to remove the veil again.

876
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: Jesus says, I have given you life and death, but

877
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: choose life. But he shouldn't have to, but he's like,

878
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: choose the life. Take the veil off your eyes again.

879
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: So I love today that we said, if you are

880
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: not hearing the verse of God, oord Satan's lying to

881
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: you that you don't hear him or see him or

882
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: feel him or know him, You're going to just start

883
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: pushing back and saying, no, that is not true, that

884
00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: is not true. We know the rest of the story.

885
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: God continues to be so faithful in the midst of

886
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: their disbelief and in the midst of their doubt. But

887
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: here's what we're going have to realize it sometimes these

888
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: moments Step three is that we're going to have to burn.

889
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: You're going to have to feel the burn in those

890
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: moments when the pressure is on and the resources seem

891
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: to be gone and it seems like God isn't answering

892
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: your prayer, and it seems like the fulfillment of what

893
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: he promised isn't happening, and it feels like you're taking

894
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: seventeen steps to go forward no, no, not at all.

895
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: When it seems like you're too old, you're too young

896
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: to this, to that, all of the things, when the economy,

897
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: when things surprise us, it's really easy to start looking

898
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: at those things. But sometimes we just have to sit

899
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: with God and we've got to let it burn. That

900
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: in the burning, there is a refining that is happening.

901
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: There's a refining of heart set, there's a refining of mindset.

902
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: God is also that good because there's been patterns that

903
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: have been developed that once we've let go and clean,

904
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: we gotta have sometimes let it burn so He can

905
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: restore something new within us. Today the prayer team over

906
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: Christie joined this message. They said, something new. There is

907
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: a new them of heaven. There is a new rhythm,

908
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: there's a new sound. There is a new song that

909
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: is coming. And so it's not actually going to make

910
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: a lot of sense sometimes to us. And so those

911
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: moments is where we're gonna sit and we're gonna feel

912
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: the weight of God and we have to let it burn.

913
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: And in those moments of burn, I'm gonna call these

914
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: your freedom moments. When you do doubt that prophecy, maybe

915
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: you even do doubt God, he can handle it. Maybe

916
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: we never forget that he can actually handle it. But

917
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: what if we took those moments and instead of saying, God,

918
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: why is this happening? What if we said, God, what

919
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: are you doing? Bring him your pain, bring him your hurt,

920
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: bring him your fears, bring him your mistakes, bring him

921
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: your failures, Bring him all of it as an offering

922
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: to him the enemy. Today, someone in here is trying

923
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: to shame you with all of those things and all

924
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: God has asked, Just bring me all of it so

925
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: we can shine the light of Heaven on it. Break

926
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: before me, so I can heal you, so that you

927
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: could give these all of these things to me as

928
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: an offering, so I can restore you and to what

929
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm asking to restore you into, and let those moments

930
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: actually be a point of strengthening. Let it burn with him.

931
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: Galatians five one says it is for freedom that Christ

932
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not

933
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 1: let yourselves be burdened again by the yoke of slavery.

934
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: That what that implies is that there's these moments along

935
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: the way that are going to try to curb your

936
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: belief with doubt. There was another quote that he sent

937
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: me that doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

938
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: What does that mean? It means I actually won't even

939
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: get started because I got the enemy uses doubt. Do

940
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: I believe? Do I not believe? Do I believe? Do

941
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: I not believe? What does it say about a man

942
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: who doubts? Right? They're tossed to and fro. There's a

943
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: difference between doubt and fear. What does fear mean? I'm afraid,

944
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: already afraid, done, false evidence, bearing real, It's real. When

945
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: I fear something, I'm already decided. Like me, my greatest

946
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: fear sharks. I know I'm in a pool and I

947
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: hear the Jaws music, you know, and then you watch

948
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: these movies of people that are just like swimming in

949
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: the ocean with the sharks and all that I might

950
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: pass out of complete and total fear, and there is

951
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 1: nothing you could do. My son and I were actually

952
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: even studying some different things in history, and he says

953
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: to me, we're reading a quote the other day and

954
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: it says more people die by beastings than sharks. And

955
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: he was like, see, mom, so you see people die

956
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: from more from from actually being sung by a bee

957
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: than sharks. I was like, I don't buy that at all.

958
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 1: Don't buy it at all. Why I'm afraid. I am

959
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 1: already decided in my belief that a shark will find

960
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: me in the pool, you guys, So if you're ever

961
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: swimming with me and I jump in the deep end

962
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: of the pool and I come up screaming, it's because

963
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: I saw shark. So I'm decided. If I'm a I'm

964
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: in fear, I've already decided. Doubt is so interesting, and

965
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: I'd like to propose to you today that it doesn't

966
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: have to be all that bad, because there's actually what

967
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: the devil intended to give me. With some doubt. Well,

968
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm going back and forth, back and forth, and he's

969
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: trying to get me into my fear zone. That it's

970
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: actually God saying what do you believe? What do you believe?

971
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: And that actually the pressure back and forth is building

972
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: some tension, and the pressure is actually a privilege because

973
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: it's actually building strength and resolved that though I'm doing

974
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: this some days and instead of leaning this way into

975
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: my fear, I'm actually going to stand boldly in my

976
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: faith and declare, I believe that you are who you

977
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: say you are. Period, those are freedom moments. Pharaoh and

978
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: his men are coming. I look this way, I look

979
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: over this way the land of Honey, and I go, okay,

980
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: not why God are they coming for me? What do

981
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: you think I'm gonna find if I ask that question

982
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: every reason they are? Why God are you not good?

983
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: What do you think I'm gonna find? Every reason why

984
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: he's not? Tony Robin says, the quality of your questions

985
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: determines the quality of your answers. Be careful the question

986
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 1: you're asking, why God do bad things happen to good people?

987
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: Stop asking that question the new question In these moments,

988
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: we're calling them freedom moments. It's this moment of doubt

989
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: that the enemy wants to use against you. And you're

990
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: gonna go back and forth, and you're not gonna go,

991
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: why God does this happening? You're gonna go, what God

992
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: are you doing? What God are you doing? But Juliet,

993
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: I feel fear in the room. I see anxiety, I

994
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 1: see cancer, I see anxiety, I see death. But God,

995
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: what are you doing in the room. There's some of

996
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: us today who are actually wrestling with anxiety. But it

997
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: is not anxiety. You actually see the deep demonic forces

998
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: and you see Heaven's angels, and you need to stop

999
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: where the enemy is trying to tell you that there's

1000
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: chatter and anxiety in the head, and you need to

1001
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: now declare that you are a weapon here to bring

1002
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: havoc to what the enemy is trying to do, and

1003
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: you need to push back those lines. You need to

1004
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: push back the lines. But that moment is okay because

1005
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: it's building. The pressure is building back and forth. But

1006
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: we're not gonna ask why, We're gonna ask what are

1007
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: you doing? God? And how can I partner with what

1008
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: you're doing? What are you doing? And what can I do? God?

1009
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 1: Then we don't need to see the trials and the

1010
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: temptations and the tribulation is something that's wrong. Even in

1011
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: James one, verse two, it says, consider it pure joy,

1012
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

1013
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: which already implies again this is a part of the process.

1014
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: Partly because we live in a fallen world and so

1015
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 1: it just is what it is. Partly because God also

1016
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: knows that everything works together for his good. So even

1017
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: in these moments that you're waffling back and forth and

1018
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: back and forth and back and forth, and he's going,

1019
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: what do you believe? You should say, God, what do

1020
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: you do? It says, because you know the testing of

1021
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: your faith is going to produce a perseverance, and we

1022
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: know that we walk this out. Perseverance finishes its work

1023
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: so that you may be sure and complete, not lacking anything.

1024
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: So the next time that you're tested, maybe say thank

1025
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: you God, because there's a place place within me that

1026
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: needs to mature in my understanding of who you are. Right,

1027
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to say it says that that you may

1028
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: be mature, complete, not lacking anything. I'd like to propose

1029
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: that then the resources will come because the maturity has

1030
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: been established, and he wants to make sure that you

1031
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: can handle what he's going to give you. If any

1032
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives

1033
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: generously to all without finding fault. This is these freedom

1034
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: moments you're going to have when it's part of the journey.

1035
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: And I want you to now not ask why God,

1036
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: ask what? God? And burn. Let it burn, Let it

1037
00:57:54,520 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: build strength, let it build resolve. If we continue you

1038
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: On Exodus twenty verse one, it says, then God spoke

1039
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: all of these words, saying I am the Lord your

1040
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: God who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

1041
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: out of the house where you were servants. This is

1042
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: when he starts to deliver his ten commandments. And do

1043
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,959
Speaker 1: you recognize that as he starts to give Moses these

1044
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: commandments to give to his people, it has everything to

1045
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: do with their dependency on anything but him. So if

1046
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: we look at what the ten commandments are, he's actually saying,

1047
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: have no gods other than me. Do not make for

1048
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: yourselves a god to look like anything that is in

1049
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: heaven above, or on earth below, or in the waters

1050
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,439
Speaker 1: under the earth. Do not worship them or work for them.

1051
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous god.

1052
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,959
Speaker 1: Do not use the name of the Lord your God

1053
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: in a false way. Remember the day of rest to

1054
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: keep it home. He's basically implying, don't let work be

1055
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: your god. Honor your father and mother, so your life

1056
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: may be long in the land the Lord has given you.

1057
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: Do not kill other people. That's a significance. Play. It's

1058
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: to feel power control. Now. Part of this is we're

1059
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: never going to accommodate about what happens. Is when I

1060
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: want to seek to hurt another person, it's because I'm

1061
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: looking to control a scenario. Do not do sex, sins,

1062
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: do not steal, Do not tell a lie about your neighbor.

1063
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,439
Speaker 1: Do not have a desire for your neighbor's house. Why

1064
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: Because God knows that whatever you worship, whatever you depend on,

1065
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: wherever you place your need, becomes the thing that you

1066
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: will focus on. Whatever I focus on becomes my God.

1067
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: This is step four. Depend only on Him as your source.

1068
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Here's what I think. I think we have a dependency

1069
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: problem as a country. I think we are asking the

1070
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: world to give us something it was never designed to give.

1071
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: We're asking the world to give us hope. We're asking

1072
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: the bottle to give us relaxation. We're asking work to

1073
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: give us significance. We're asking the thing to make us

1074
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: feel more important. We're asking our friends to give us value.

1075
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: And it's so subtle. It's so subtle, because if we

1076
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: think about some of these components, right, even if you

1077
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: think about your kids and your spouse, and the clothes

1078
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: that you were in the house that you have, and

1079
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: some of even the dreams that we have, right some

1080
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: of us who run businesses and the beautiful impact that

1081
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: it's making, and all of these things are good until

1082
01:00:52,160 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: they're not. Until it's actually become my source. This is

1083
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: why they say all the time. You know, money is

1084
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: not bad, it's just the love of money way, because

1085
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: money is a resource, it's not thus source. And so

1086
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: I think the beautiful thing of these ten commandments is

1087
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: that God is basically kind of setting a stage. Again.

1088
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Remember this whole thing is because I want to know

1089
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: I am who I am, I will be with you,

1090
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: and so then he kind of sets the record straight

1091
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: through this journey of the wilderness. Is that hey, let's

1092
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: just make sure that you are depending only on me,

1093
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: it says, chase only after Heaven's realities, and then all

1094
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: these less important things will be added onto you. So

1095
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,439
Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about God is that he knows that

1096
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: we need other things to survive as mankind. He just

1097
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't want it to have us. He wants us to

1098
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: have abundance. He wants you to have money. He wants

1099
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: you to have health. He wants you to have connections.

1100
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: He wants you to build that business. He wants you

1101
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: to write that book. He wants you to do those things.

1102
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: He just doesn't want it to have you. He wants

1103
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: to shift the motivation. He wants the hunger to be

1104
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: for him, and so what's happened is we start to

1105
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: go after the things of this world. And the problem

1106
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: with some of these dependencies that we have is that

1107
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: they work for a while, Like the instant gratification culture

1108
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: that we live in. It works for a while for

1109
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: a while. But that's why we continue to it feels

1110
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: like we keep coming up short. Right. It's even like

1111
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: we go, ah, if I could just have more money,

1112
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: then we have more money, and then what do we feel?

1113
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: Kind of still unfulfilled? Right, That's why some of you

1114
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: are in a room full of one hundred plus people

1115
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: and yet you feel lonely. That's why you're getting all

1116
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: these likes on Instagram and social media, and you're still

1117
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: crawling into bed with tears unning down your face because

1118
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: you don't feel seen and known why. Because I'd like

1119
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: to propose that you're not wrong. There is no shame

1120
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: and condemnation in this. Our eyes have just started to

1121
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 1: look and to ask the world around us to give

1122
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: us something that only He can provide. I learned this

1123
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: hard when I gave up alcohol for my story again,

1124
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I've shared this, but it's worth sharing again in this moment.

1125
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: The alcohol for me after the simple answer of that

1126
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: just helps me kind of unwind at the end of

1127
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: the night, or it helps me kind of disconnect, or

1128
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, helps me have more fun or be more

1129
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: courageous or all the things. After I got past that point,

1130
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: I had to realize that actually I was having a

1131
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: drink or two because there was a place of insecurity

1132
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: within me. And so it became my hiding place. Like

1133
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: I could be here, but I wasn't totally here, right,

1134
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I could physically be with you, but I wasn't going

1135
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: to give you access to my heart. Why because there

1136
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: was a piece within me that was still so insecure

1137
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: in who I was. And so I remember when I

1138
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: landed on that, I like, ooh, I think that's something

1139
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: to be said there that maybe I'm actually using alcoholis

1140
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: a place to hide. This is the first place we

1141
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: have to start. As I would ask the thing that

1142
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: you maybe would call an idol in your life today,

1143
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: I want you to write down what are you asking

1144
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: it to give you, because this is where true freedom

1145
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: is going to be found. Shine the light of Heaven

1146
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: on it, let it, Let Heaven see this, because then

1147
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: we can actually start to do the work to be free. Right,

1148
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: So I decided to tell my husband it was this

1149
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: process of continue to take this God of like, Man,

1150
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm hiding here, God, I'm hiding here. I know that

1151
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,439
Speaker 1: you've called me to shine. I know that you've asked

1152
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,439
Speaker 1: me to move forward all of these things. Since I'm

1153
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: in my kitchen one day, I literally hear the Holy Spirit,

1154
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: which I'm more of a nowhere. I don't hear the

1155
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: voice of God all the time. That's more my mom

1156
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: and I we joke all the time because she's like,

1157
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, I heard God speaking the other day, and

1158
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: all of us who came up front were like, what

1159
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: does that? What does that sound like? You know what

1160
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Has anyone ever told you I heard the

1161
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: voice of Lord? You're like, can you please tell me

1162
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: what that sounds like? Can you text it to me

1163
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: so I could be familiar when I hear it. Has

1164
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: anyone ever thought that question before? Yeah, okay, I actually don't.

1165
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I can't give you any more information on what it

1166
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: sounds like. But I could hear the voice of God

1167
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: and he says to me, what if I could be

1168
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: your hiding place? And I hit my knees, and I

1169
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: hit my knees. So my question to you is what

1170
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: is that thing giving you that you haven't actually taken

1171
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: to God and asked him to give you, Because I'd

1172
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: like to suggest today he wants to give that to you.

1173
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: In fact, he already has, That's why he sent his son.

1174
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: But he will give it to you over and over

1175
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over again and

1176
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: now daily, right back to this idea of let go

1177
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: and then cling and then burn. I've had my moments

1178
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: along the way where I'm like, oh, beer sounds great

1179
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: right now? Can I get a name in? And I've

1180
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: never been there, just me, It's just me, It's fine.

1181
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: A beer sounds great right now. I'd actually have to

1182
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: start reprogramming my brain to go, oh, we don't. We

1183
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: don't actually do that anymore. Stop it, stop the thought,

1184
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: I actually don't do that anymore. But interesting, heart, what

1185
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: do you need right now? What are you asking that

1186
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: to give you that you're not asking God to give you?

1187
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: You might need to write that down. It's really simple,

1188
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: but in a moment it changes everything because I literally

1189
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: would hear, oh I need a nap. I'm actually just

1190
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: really tired. I actually really want connection right now. I

1191
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: want to cry. I mean the answers were and then

1192
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: what I was able to do is go to God

1193
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: and actually get filled up. Because if I go to

1194
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the source, it's only going to fix it for a moment,

1195
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: but it won't actually heal the core issue. But when

1196
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: I take it to the feet of God, come to

1197
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: find out, he gives me exactly what I need, so

1198
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: now I can be successful and fulfilled. He wants to

1199
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: feel you to overflowing. But if I don't know what

1200
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm asking him to give me, then I am going

1201
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: to ask someone else or something else to give it

1202
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: to me. It was never designed to do it, so

1203
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come up empty. This is why some of

1204
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,479
Speaker 1: us today are depressed and depleted and tired and burnt out.

1205
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: He is sustainable when he is your source. This is

1206
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: how you know when you are clean to him like

1207
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: a life support, is that it actually is sustainable. Your

1208
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: work will be sustainable, your parenting will feel sustainable. It

1209
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: will feel sustainable. Why because I'm connected to a source

1210
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: that is abundant and overflowing. It's incredible. And this is

1211
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: coming from a mom of fife. People still do that,

1212
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, so fun you guys. When I was pregnant

1213
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: with my fifth. I'd walk around and people would go, oh,

1214
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: is this your first? And I was like, no, it's

1215
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: my fifth. They were like, oh, dear God, are you

1216
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: for real? Like they were almost like don't touch me,

1217
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: Like okay, I mean answer. We just like I just

1218
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: wanted people to ask me, like I should have worn

1219
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: a shirt that says, asked me how many kids I have?

1220
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Because it was like a shock or coming from a

1221
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: mom of five. Believe me, when you supercharge into who

1222
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: God is and now my world around me knows if

1223
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I come up empty or depleted, They're like, go get

1224
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: with God, Go get with God. I actually now have

1225
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: a team and a husband and a mom and a

1226
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: partnership with people who say you need to go get

1227
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: with God. Do you have that nodge the person next

1228
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: to you say, I'm gonna tell you to go get

1229
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: with God. Next time you look at me like that,

1230
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: go get with God. Someone' say go get with God.

1231
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: The next time they start to get off fidgety with you,

1232
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: or they start to get a lott angry, you're MOPy

1233
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: or bossy. Little prickly would be a key word. Someone

1234
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: gets a little prickly. I just want you to go

1235
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: go get with God? You do you with God? Go

1236
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:45,799
Speaker 1: do you with God? Hashtag that go do you with God? Okay,

1237
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: So here's this last point on this is that the

1238
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 1: other part is that we live in a culture that

1239
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: accepts all of the things that we're depending on, Like

1240
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: it's culturally normal to do all of those things, and

1241
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: that's the slippery slope as we live in a world

1242
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: makes all of these dependencies seem normal, practical. Like I

1243
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:05,600
Speaker 1: literally was sitting with a friend the other day and

1244
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, I just I've had this anxiety,

1245
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: but I'm just taking some medication and we're just going

1246
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: to kind of deal with it. I was like, what

1247
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: did you say? Oh my gosh, you are a child.

1248
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: This came out so fast, you know those moments that

1249
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: you're like, ohoop, sees ore, here we go. I was like,

1250
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: you are a child in the most High God. And

1251
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: the last thing, last time I checked, Heaven is not

1252
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: coping with anxiety. And he looked at me and I

1253
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, I got nothing else. That's

1254
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: all that I don't I actually I don't know where

1255
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: that's from. I don't know the Book of the Bible,

1256
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: but I just know that Heaven wants you to know

1257
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: that it is not coping with anxiety. It's not. It's not. Now,

1258
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: does that mean that you might have to do some work? Yes?

1259
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: Does that mean you might have to break in order

1260
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: to heal? Yes? Does that mean you have to open

1261
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: up a can of worms? Yep, last I checked. But

1262
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: when you know that God is your source, you go

1263
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: do that with him. Go do you with God? Go

1264
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: do you with God, and don't let culture be your norm.

1265
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: If we continue on on this journey Exodus, verse thirty three,

1266
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: still in Exus now, but we've we've gone from see

1267
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: how far we've gone already. In chapter thirty three, the

1268
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: Lord says to Moses, go away from this place. You

1269
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: and the people you have brought out of the land

1270
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 1: of Egypt. Go to the land that I have promised

1271
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying I will give it

1272
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: to your children. He says, go here, step five. Obey.

1273
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: Obedience brings the blessing you're waiting for. I'll say that

1274
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: in a different way. The magic that you're wanting is

1275
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: in the work that you're avoiding. The blessing you're wanting

1276
01:10:56,080 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: is on the other side of obedience. We say this

1277
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: to our kids all the time. There is a lot

1278
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: that Mommy and Daddy are going to ask you to

1279
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: do that. We're actually going to walk out the exact

1280
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: reason that we're asking you to do that in a moment,

1281
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: because we have some time and there's some capacity, and

1282
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 1: there's some things like, hey, we want you to do this,

1283
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 1: because there's going to be moments. But then there's some

1284
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: times that I am just going to say do not

1285
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,719
Speaker 1: do that, and you have to obey without understanding why,

1286
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 1: because either you're dodging a car if I say don't

1287
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: go on the street, and they're like why as they're

1288
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 1: walking out, you're because they're okay, Like, there's sometimes that

1289
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: you're just going to have to trust me because I

1290
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: legitimately don't have time to tell you and you're gonna

1291
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: be dodging cars. God's the same way. There's times that

1292
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: he's gonna sit with you and he's going to chat

1293
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: with you about all the things, and he's going to

1294
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: really help you understand the plain. And then there's gonna

1295
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 1: be times that he's going to ask you to do

1296
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: something and you're not gonna know why. But on the

1297
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: other side of your obedience is the blessing. It's what

1298
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: you're looking for. Obedience actually brings blessing. He says to them,

1299
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: go go to the land that I promised you. In Deuteronomy.

1300
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: It actually starts to talk about what he's talking to

1301
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: the children of Israel. He says in Deuteronomy five, verse

1302
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: thirty two, So be careful to do what the Lord

1303
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: your God has commanded you. Do not turn aside to

1304
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: the right or to the left. Walk in obedience to

1305
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: all that the Lord your God has commanded to you.

1306
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Here's where God is so good. Even this, there's a

1307
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: comma like he could put a period there too, to

1308
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: just go, just do it and trust me. And there

1309
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: are moments, believe me, there are moments you're going to

1310
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: have to do that. When Mark and Cindy Smith twenty

1311
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: years ago decided to believe that God is good the

1312
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 1: day that their daughter died, little did they know that

1313
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: twenty years later, thousands and thousands and thousands of lives

1314
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: would be affected by this message. I'm one of those

1315
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: champions who will champion that message of freedom. I'm just

1316
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: one of them. But God's so good even here, he

1317
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: gives a comma walking, I'll be dance so all that

1318
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you

1319
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: may live and prosper and prolong your days in the

1320
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: land that you will poe zes. He even gives you

1321
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 1: the blessing there so that you may live and prosper

1322
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

1323
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: He's called you to take territory. He's called you to

1324
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 1: take territory. He's asked you to extend Heaven's lines on

1325
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: this side of eternity. He's going to bless you after

1326
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: you obey. Deuteronomy sixth four says hear, oh Israel, the Lord,

1327
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: our God, the Lord is one love, the Lord your God.

1328
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: With all your heart and with all your soul, and

1329
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: with all your strength. These commandments that I give to

1330
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: you today are to be on your hearts, and press

1331
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: them to your children. Talk about them when you sit

1332
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: at home, and when you walk along the road, when

1333
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: you lie down, and when you get up. Tie them

1334
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: as symbols on your hands, and bind them on your foreheads.

1335
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 1: Write them on the doorframes of your house and on

1336
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: your gates. Obey, and then talk about it over and

1337
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again. Why so

1338
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: we don't forget. So we are conscious to do exactly

1339
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: to let go, to cling, to burn, to put our

1340
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 1: dependencies where they need to go, and to obey. And

1341
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 1: then we rinse and repeat, and we rinse and repeat,

1342
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: and we rinse and opee, repeat over and over and

1343
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: over again. He tells us to do that. We know

1344
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: that these relates didn't. They didn't choose to obey. And

1345
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Exodus thirty three, verse three, it says, but I will

1346
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: not go with you because you are strong willed people,

1347
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: and I might destroy you on the way. You're like, now, God,

1348
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: you're talking my language. Like if I was God, this

1349
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: is ultimately probably what I would say. So this is

1350
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: after all of these commandments, all of these commandments, and

1351
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: he's going, um, okay, let me actually now tell you, Moses,

1352
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going Can you imagine being Moses? What did

1353
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: God tell Moses? First of all when we started this

1354
01:14:55,240 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: thing way back, I'll go with you. Have you you've

1355
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: ever been in this moment with God? For all of

1356
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 1: a sudden, You're like, God, are you with me? Can

1357
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: you imagine being Moses? God's like, Nope, Nope, I'm not

1358
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: with you. I might destroy these people. Moses says to

1359
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: the Lord see you say to me, lead these people,

1360
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: But you have not let me know whom you will

1361
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: send with me. Yet you said, I have known you

1362
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: by name. You have found favor in my eyes, Moses,

1363
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: so I pray to you, he says to God, I

1364
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: pray to you. If I have found favor in your eyes.

1365
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: Let me know your ways, then I may know you

1366
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and find favor in your eyes. And keep in mind

1367
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: that this is your nation. These are your people. Some

1368
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:51,759
Speaker 1: of us need to look at God and go, God,

1369
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: this is yours. This isn't mine, This is you know.

1370
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: This is when you know it's a God given dream

1371
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: because you go. It's not my fingerprints on it, it's yours.

1372
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: These are your babies, this is your dream, This is

1373
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: your people, this is your country, this is your city.

1374
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: This is yours. God, you called me by name, you

1375
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: told me to go. This is yours. And the Lord says,

1376
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: I myself will go with you. I will give you rest.

1377
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: I will go with you. We skipped down to verse seventeen.

1378
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: It says, then the Lord said to Moses, I will

1379
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: do what you have said, for you have found favor

1380
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 1: in my eyes, and I have known you by name.

1381
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: He says, I will do what you have said. This

1382
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: is the Lord talking to Moses. I will do what

1383
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: you have said, for you have found favor in my eyes.

1384
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,600
Speaker 1: This is key, This is this pivotal moment. This is

1385
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 1: where today changes everything for you. Step six in this

1386
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: process is to abide. We love Verse seven of John fifteen.

1387
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Verse seven says, if you remain in me and my

1388
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: words remain you, ask whatever you wish, it will be

1389
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: done for you. How many of us love that? How

1390
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 1: many of us pray that all time? And we're like,

1391
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: I'll see it. I'm asking, I'm asking, I'm asking, I'm asking.

1392
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 1: You know what a thing. But here's what I love

1393
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: about this John fifteen. If you go back up to

1394
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: verse one, it says, I am the true vine, and

1395
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 1: my father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch

1396
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: in me that bears no fruit. That's the burn, did

1397
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: you hear me? That's the burn, that's the pressure, that's

1398
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 1: the tension. Those are those clinging moments, those are those

1399
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: dependency moments. He says that he cuts off every branch

1400
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,040
Speaker 1: in me that bears no fruit, while every branch it

1401
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: does bear fruit, he prunes so that it will be

1402
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the

1403
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: word I've spoken to you. Remain in me, as I

1404
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: also remain in you. Remain in me. No branch can

1405
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 1: bear fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine.

1406
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

1407
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: Verse five says I am the vine. You were the branches.

1408
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: If you remain in me, and I and you, you

1409
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,719
Speaker 1: will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing.

1410
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 1: This is it. This is his abiding presence when we

1411
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: all of a sudden depend on him and we start

1412
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: to obey what he is doing, and we start to

1413
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: be faithful with what he's given us. We're faithful with

1414
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: the dreams, We're faithful with the resources, We're faithful with

1415
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 1: what he's put in front of us. All of a sudden,

1416
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: he's going to go dream with me. He's gonna say,

1417
01:18:55,960 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: just like to Moses, whatever you ask, why, because I

1418
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: can trust your motive, is what God's saying. Because you've

1419
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: put your heart where it needs to be. Now you're

1420
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: dreaming what I'm dreaming. Now, ask anything, and I will

1421
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: give it. Why. Because we've developed a relationship. I said

1422
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 1: this at the beginning. Our dreams are an offshoot of

1423
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 1: a real relationship with Jesus. Why, because we are abiding

1424
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 1: in him or letting it burn, He's pruning us and

1425
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: making us better. In those moments, then we are able

1426
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 1: to ask anything. Even when Moses goes you go with me,

1427
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:35,719
Speaker 1: God says, okay, some of us are dreaming in places

1428
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: of fear. Still, our dreams are actually rooted in fear.

1429
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: So God's got to take us on this journey a

1430
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 1: little bit. So when we actually get to the feet

1431
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: of God and we obey what he's saying, all of

1432
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 1: a sudden, these dreams are going to come to life,

1433
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: and He's going to say that Yes. He's going to

1434
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: say yes. Why because he can trust you with your heart.

1435
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: And it's not because you're perfect, it's because you're bold

1436
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: enough to sit in his feet. Boldness is just a

1437
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: willingness to say yes. You're bold, your willingness to say yes,

1438
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 1: he go great. I will go with you. I will

1439
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: go with you. I will go with you. Ask anything. Abide,

1440
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: So tomorrow when you wake up and you go, who

1441
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:27,839
Speaker 1: what when where? Abide? Just abide? Abide, by definition, actually

1442
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 1: means to endure without yielding. Some of us think that

1443
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 1: abiding means just getting up on the seat the feet

1444
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: of God or in his lap. And yes, that is true.

1445
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: But actually, by definition it means to endure without yielding.

1446
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: It means to take a stand for what Heaven is doing,

1447
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: and not on your dime, not on your day, not

1448
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: in your business, not in your marriage, not in your health,

1449
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 1: not in your finances. Do you hear me? It means

1450
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 1: that I will stand. I will endure without yielding. I

1451
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 1: will do what Heaven is doing. I will speak what

1452
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: Heaven is speaking, will say what Heaven is saying. I

1453
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: will seeing what Heaven is seeing. I will write what

1454
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: Heaven is writing. I will build what Heaven is building. Period.

1455
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: That's what it means. To abide, it means to withstand.

1456
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: It's a verb. It's action. Become like Christ, sit with God,

1457
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: abide and stand. Ask for anything, ask for anything. We

1458
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: aren't asking God for enough. We actually had our mentor

1459
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: tell us this last month he says, make your prayers

1460
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: hard for God. I was like, oh my God, I'm

1461
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: not doing that. You know what I'm saying. He said, no,

1462
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: make your prayers hard for God. Ask anything. Remember, prayer

1463
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: is not aging to God. Sometimes we're like God, please,

1464
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: I just really that Prayer is partnering with what Heaven

1465
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 1: is doing. Prayer is a real relationship and connectivity, point

1466
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 1: to the very presence of God so that you are

1467
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: able to pull it down to have people out of

1468
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: all the time. What is dreaming, it's heaven on earth.

1469
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: It's my ability to actually sit with the presence of

1470
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: God and then to pull it down to this earth.

1471
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 1: That's what prayer is. It's not begging God for his results,

1472
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: it's partnering with him. He wants to give us more.

1473
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 1: We need to partner with what he's doing. Once we

1474
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: do that, we're turning the corner. We're sliding into home.

1475
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Once we do that, Once I abide with him and

1476
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm asking anything, and I'm willing to dream with God,

1477
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 1: and I'm willing to build with God, and I'm willing

1478
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 1: to sing what he's singing and go where he's going.

1479
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: That's what he's going to ask you to. Step seven

1480
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: is go go Go, Go be comed, be commissioned. Go.

1481
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: Jesus models this lifestyle and then he invites us into it.

1482
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: Luke force as the spirit of the Lord is on

1483
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news

1484
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: to the poor. He has set me to proclaim freedom

1485
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: for the prisoners, and recovery of sight for the blind,

1486
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of

1487
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 1: the Lord's favor. That is this year. This is the

1488
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:31,879
Speaker 1: year of the dream where believers and the church actually

1489
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: rise up and say, see see Do you see what

1490
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:39,719
Speaker 1: God is doing Isaiah forty three eighteen. Forget the former things.

1491
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: Do not dwell on the past. Do not look at yesterday.

1492
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Do you not see what He is doing? A new thing.

1493
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: He is making away in the wilderness. He is making

1494
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: streams in the waste land. Do you not see it?

1495
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: This is why Jesus came. He came to set you

1496
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: free and to give you freedom for others, to set

1497
01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: people free. This is our greatest commission and this is

1498
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 1: our job today. Everybody stand. I want you to stand.

1499
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: I want you to stand it. Here's where I want

1500
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: you to stand because we're going to do an altar

1501
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: call for two things. Number one, we are going to

1502
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 1: break the back of addiction. And I would love Bridgeways

1503
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 1: help on this. So any of our prayer team please

1504
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: come down. I'm gonna ask that you actually dim the

1505
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: lights because we're gonna pray for two things today. We're

1506
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna pray for addiction and we're gonna pray for abiding

1507
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 1: connection and heavenly power. If you are struggling with addiction

1508
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: today or you know someone who is struggling with addiction today,

1509
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: we are going to break the back and we are

1510
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,839
Speaker 1: going to connect every part of our being to the source.

1511
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: This is why Jesus died for us. He died so

1512
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: we could run free. And I am standing before you

1513
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: today completely free. And it had nothing to do with

1514
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 1: my own power. It was one day I decided to

1515
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 1: connect the source that has never stopped giving. So we

1516
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: are going to pray for the back of addiction to

1517
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: be broken today. So if you are someone you know,

1518
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: I want you to come down. And the second thing

1519
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: is that if you want to come and abide and

1520
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,640
Speaker 1: you want to come and stand and stand with what

1521
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: God is doing, with Heaven's doing, I want you to

1522
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 1: come down and I want you to connect with what

1523
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: Heaven is doing. We are the Church, we are the Ecclesia,

1524
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 1: and it is time to take our commission. Seriously, It's

1525
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: time to take our outpost. No more are we going

1526
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: to ask why God. We're going to ask what God,

1527
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And how can I partner with

1528
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: what you're doing and set this world on fire. So

1529
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 1: I'm going to say one prayer collectively, and then I'm

1530
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 1: going to ask that you come down and stand in

1531
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 1: the gap or actually, why chain's break today. We are

1532
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: breaking the back of scarcity. We will break the back

1533
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: of small mindedness. This is any addiction. This might be fear.

1534
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 1: This might be anxiety. This might be busy. This might

1535
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: be alcohol, This might be drugs, this might be porn.

1536
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 1: This is also going to act the dreams that you have.

1537
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: This is also for the dreams that you have that

1538
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: God has given you that might even feel like you've

1539
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 1: been disappointed or unsure or unclear, or the dreams that

1540
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: you so badly want but you don't even know what

1541
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 1: they are. You're going to come down because God has

1542
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:34,599
Speaker 1: a dream with your name written all over it, and

1543
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: He's going to use that dream and your yes to

1544
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: bring heaven to earth. In Jesus name, God, we give

1545
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: you our yes. You have our attention, you have our affection,

1546
01:26:54,400 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: Father God, and as a church, as your church, as

1547
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 1: your children, we give you our heart, we give you

1548
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: our mind, we give you our yes. Pastor Peter, will

1549
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: you come up here for just a second. Can we

1550
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: get people to pray over him? No? No, I'm praying

1551
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:25,600
Speaker 1: for you right here. Can we get some people to

1552
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 1: come and pray over him? What a lot of you

1553
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: don't know's that Four years ago I was seating right

1554
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: there and Pastor Peter called me up and he says,

1555
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 1: you have fire in one hand and freedom in another.

1556
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: And in my head I thought, does he know who

1557
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: he's talking to? And all I could do that day

1558
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: was say yes, God, please, yes, And that's all that

1559
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:01,600
Speaker 1: it takes. And sow Today, I'm going to echo that

1560
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 1: freedom and that fire. Right in your right hand you

1561
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: have fire, and in your left you have freedom. And

1562
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: every tier that you've cried, and every dollar that you

1563
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:26,640
Speaker 1: have invested, and every child that you have brought to

1564
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: this earth, and every journal entry that you have given,

1565
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: and every conversation with your wife and every dream that

1566
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: you ever had. I want you to know that God

1567
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 1: sees it as an offering, Pastor Peter, and you have

1568
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 1: freedom and fire, and He is going to set the

1569
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: captives free because of you and your ministry, and where

1570
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 1: the enemy has tried to convince you to play small,

1571
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: and he has put a lid on it, and he

1572
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,440
Speaker 1: has tried to condemn you and play and put strategy

1573
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 1: around scarcity, like I literally see the enemy trying to

1574
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:59,600
Speaker 1: actually put strategy of scarcity around you. We break that.

1575
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: In the Mighty name of Jesus. We break the strategy,

1576
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: We break the ideas, we break logic, we break analytics,

1577
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: we break numbers, we break straight we break all of

1578
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 1: that in the name of Jesus. We pray that any

1579
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 1: system on your computer, any systems in his church, any

1580
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: process maps, anything that's written that is not of Jesus

1581
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: Christ and the mighty name of Jesus, I pray that

1582
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 1: it breaks right now. I don't care if it does

1583
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 1: more work for John Fitch. I love John Fitch with

1584
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: my heart. I don't care that man. Now I release

1585
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:41,679
Speaker 1: on him the operations of him. John, in your hold,

1586
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: I saw this over you the other night, in your hold.

1587
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: I know you want to run, and I know you

1588
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: have the omph to run in the fire to run.

1589
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: But just like in your weight training, in your holding moments,

1590
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: God is building the strength to hold the weight of

1591
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:03,719
Speaker 1: the operations of Heaven, to partner with what Pastor Peter

1592
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: is doing. We thank you, Father, God, what you have

1593
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: brought let no man tear apart. I thank you for

1594
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 1: new strates. That when these systems and processes start to break, God,

1595
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 1: that John starts to shout Hallelujah, that the walls come down,

1596
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 1: and as things start to break and fall, that they

1597
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 1: these two men actually together will rise and they will

1598
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 1: let it break so that Heaven can be heard. That

1599
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 1: in the mess and even in the rubble of all this, God,

1600
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: that you instantly though that they will see a suddenly

1601
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: of new operations and new building and new strategy and

1602
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:43,960
Speaker 1: hope and renewed and God, we see them rising up

1603
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: on wings like eagles. And I thank you for Christie

01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: for the sound that's going to ruminate underneath her. God,

1607
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: I think the sound that's going to build underneath these

1608
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 1: operations and a strategy. Father God, in the mighty name

1609

Speaker 1: up within her. God, God, I see her taking a generation,
