They might not be comfortable with that, 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: but just look at them and say, I am so 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: looking forward to experiencing God's word with you today. Would 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: you do that right where you are and say it 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: even in the chat, say I've been looking forward to 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: this all week. I'm looking forward to being strengthened by 13 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: the word of God. We've worshiped him, We've turned our 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: hearts to help. Now let's set aside every distraction. Don't 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: be like Martha busy in the kitchen. Take these next 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: few minutes and just get in position to hear from 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: the Lord.

I don't like to call it watching where 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: you're worshiping from. Hey, man, watching is something you do 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,919 Speaker 1: for like Yellowstone or the Game of Thrones or something 23 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: like that. But this ain't the game. This is the 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: real throne, all right. So we came to worship. Y'all 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't have given me a few weeks off. I'm in 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: bad shape today. Pray for me, e fham. Now the 27 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: scripture for today that I want to read to you 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: is from Numbers, chapter eleven. You'll quit being funky and 29 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: pad me with something spiritual, some church chords. All right, 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: praise the Lord Numbers, chapter eleven, verse four through six. 31 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: You ready? Are you ready? Readier than you just sounded? 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: I hope y'all are readier in your room than they 33 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: are in this room, all right, Lake Norman? Yes, okay. 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,639 Speaker 1: The rabble with them begin to crave other food, and 35 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: again the Israelites started wailing and said, if only we 36 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: had meat to eat, We remember the fish we ate 37 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: in Egypt at no cost, Also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, 38 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: and garlic. But now we have lost our appetite. We 39 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: never see anything but this manner. If only we had 40 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: meat to eat, We remember the fish we ate in 41 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: Egypt at no cost. I thought i'd talked to you 42 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: today on the first sermon that I preached from the 43 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: New Year about comfort food. Comfort food, Lord feed us 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: the bread of Heaven today because we need it in Jesus. 45 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Say amen. You may be seated right now. I want 46 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: you to say in the chat, or maybe look at 47 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: somebody if you're in a room with more than one person, 48 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: and tell them your favorite comfort food. Put it in 49 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the chat right now. Or if you're sitting next to somebody, 50 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: what's the food that makes you feel better? Well, it 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: makes you feel temporarily better, because that's the definition of 52 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: comfort food, right, the food that will make you feel 53 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: better for five minutes. Right? Your favorite Our research this 54 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: week the Bible and I researched on Google and the 55 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: favorite comfort food is still pizza for fifteen percent of Americans. 56 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know other parts. So we'll put it 57 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: into chat. And do not take this moment to show 58 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: off how healthy you are. You know, but kombucha is 59 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: my comfort food. Shut up, go away, let is go 60 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: to another church. All right, I'm talking about I'm talking 61 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: about something it's not good for you, but it tastes 62 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: good to you. Put it in the chat. I'm not 63 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: going to tell you mine yet I'll tell you, Hollies, 64 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: if you ever want to make her feel better, French 65 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: rice and her French rice, and I thank God for 66 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: that because they're cheap and they're predictable. It's a lot 67 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: cheaper than jewelry. Right, So if I see her down 68 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: and it's not just food, I hope you're putting these 69 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: in the chat, by the way, because I'm really interested 70 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: to see how many of you will be honest about it. 71 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: And I know this is really bad because you've got 72 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: all these goals for the new year that you're not 73 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: going to eat it anymore. Here I am bringing it up. 74 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: And you turned on the church to try to get 75 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: away from this stuff, and here I am talking about it. 76 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: But I think we should talk about it. I think 77 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: we should talk about comfort food today. And I think 78 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: we should talk about it beyond just physical food. But 79 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: I want to use physical food to get there, because 80 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: there's something that we can feel, you know, something we 81 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: could we could feel when we went to Singapore a 82 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Holly's laughing because we kind of 83 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: had a fight. We had a disagreement our host. I 84 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: was there to preach and our hosts were so amazing 85 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: the church that we were at, and they took us 86 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: to really nice restaurants. I thought they were all really 87 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: nice restaurants because they were all restaurants that I knew 88 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: the name of, and I liked it that way. Holly, 89 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: on the other hand, was so disappointed that they were 90 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: taking us to the same restaurants. Do you remember they 91 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: took us. I remember one night they took us to 92 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Ruth Chris, which is like my favorite. That's that's like 93 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: one of the first nice dates. I saved up eighteen 94 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: months and took Holly to Ruth christ And I'm serious 95 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: when we went to came to Charlotte, and and and 96 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: so I was happy to be at Ruth Chris. And 97 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: she's kind of disappointed. And she told me afterwards, she said, 98 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: I could have ate all that in Charlotte. Come and 99 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: apparently she had just read a book. I don't remember 100 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: the name of the book. She read a book Crazy 101 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: Rich Asians, where they put a bunch of stuff about 102 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: food markets and stuff. So she's reading this book right 103 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: and we're going to Singapore and she's thinking about all 104 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: this new food she's gonna try when we get there. 105 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: And then they take us to TGI Fridays in the mall, 106 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: and I was happy. I like TGI Fridays. There's nothing 107 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: wrong with TGI Fridays anywhere in the world. Any day. 108 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be Friday. I'm making a Friday 109 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: on Thursday. I eat chicken tenders any day of the week. 110 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Makes me feel good. It makes me feel something familiar 111 00:06:46,560 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: in my soul. I like it. I like chains, chain restaurant. Chain. Oh, 112 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: I like chains. That's what they call it, a chain restaurant. 113 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: It's the same anywhere you go. I like them. It's 114 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: comfortable to me. Don't even have to look at the menu. 115 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: Don't have to acquire a taste. Who has time for that, 116 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: especially in an unfamiliar place. If the place is unfamiliar, 117 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: at least give me a taste. I can recognize numbers. 118 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Chapter eleven. The Israelites are in a strange place. They 119 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: left a strange place that they came to to escape 120 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: of famine that they did not cause. But it's been 121 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty years since they first entered Egypt. 122 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: How many know that four hundred and thirty years is 123 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: enough time to adjust your taste? Butts, they were not 124 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: slaves for four hundred and thirty years. They were only 125 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: slaves for four hundred. The reason I point that out 126 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: is for the first thirty Egypt was the place that 127 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: fed them what they needed to survive. Can I show 128 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: you this? I would love to show you this in Genesis. 129 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: I have so many scriptures today we might just chop 130 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: this up and show it for the next for the 131 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: rest of the year. But in Genesis forty one, and 132 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: I've been waiting to share this with you for a 133 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: while now, so just forgive my excitement about it. But 134 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: it talks about how the people of God got to Egypt, 135 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: where God took care of them. And I've mentioned before 136 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: from this pulpit how the place that you escape to 137 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: in one sea can become the place that you are 138 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: enslaved by in the next, you know, And this really 139 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: really shows this in a way that I think you 140 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: can get it. In Genesis forty one, verse fifty three, 141 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: I can't give you the whole story, but let me 142 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: just try to give you a little taste of it. 143 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: It says the seven years of abundance in Egypt came 144 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: to an end and the seven years of famine. Everybody 145 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,239 Speaker 1: say famine. Put it in the chat, say famine, famine, 146 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: the seven years of Famine began, just as Joseph had said. 147 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: There was famine in all the other lands, but in 148 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: the whole land of Egypt there was food. They came 149 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: to Egypt, not out of rebellion, but out of survival. 150 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: They came to Egypt. And one day I'm going to 151 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: preach this message. I've been promising it for a while. 152 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about sins with benefits. You've heard 153 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: the other phrase, but that's not the one that I meet. 154 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about things that you do that meet 155 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: a certain need in your life, but the way that 156 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: they meet the need creates a greater need, throwing you 157 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: into a spiral sometimes of what ends up feeling like slavery. 158 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: So listen to this phrase. This got my attention. It 159 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: said in verse fifty five, when all Egypt began to 160 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: feel the famine. That's the phrase that I want you 161 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: to underline there, Okay, or write it down or put 162 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: it in the chat. Feel the famine. I believe I'm 163 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: preaching to somebody today who feels the famine. It could 164 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: be a famine of encouragement in your life, like nobody 165 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: has told you you're doing a good job in a while, 166 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: and nobody has told you in a while that you matter, 167 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: or if they are telling you, you you don't really believe 168 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: their motives because they're just trying to use it. They 169 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: get you to do something to manipulate you to do 170 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: something they want you to do. So now you're so 171 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: jaded that you can't even receive the nutrition of other 172 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: people's encouragement because you experienced it in a manipulat format. 173 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: And so now you're really reluctant to receive anything anyone 174 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: says to you that's positive because you are more trained 175 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: in your taste buds to something that is negative. But 176 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: you feel the famine, and watch this. The Bible says, 177 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: when all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people 178 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: cried to Pharaoh for food. So right beside famine put Pharaoh. 179 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: Pharaoh was, of course the ruler of Egypt. Right he 180 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: ended up putting Joseph in charge of the food supply. 181 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: And if you don't know all this backstory, you'll still 182 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: get the message. Okay, it's all right, And plus i'll 183 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: give you something to study this week, so you can 184 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: look all this up this week and realize that there 185 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: was a famine that brought the people of God. Joseph, 186 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: who was an Israelite, it brought his whole family to Egypt. Now, now, 187 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: God will use famine in your life to get you 188 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: into a place or position of his purpose, over and 189 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: over again in the scripture. So when we say we 190 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: want God to move in our lives, how many would 191 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: say that I want God to move in my life 192 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. 193 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: So for God to move in your life, he will 194 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: often remove something from your life. So when you pray that, 195 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: you have to think of those at the same time, 196 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: move and remove. If God's gonna move, if he's gonna 197 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: do something, if he's going to change things. And we 198 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: say we want change, and we shout about change and 199 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: we pray about change. What we really want is we 200 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: want change that we choose and that we can control. 201 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: Talk to me, Church of the Living God, come on, 202 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: get Pentecostal for a minute and talk to me. Talk 203 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: to me and talk to me. Talk to me. That's 204 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: all I mean. And we say we want change. So 205 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: when they felt the famine, they came to Egypt, and 206 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: of course Verse fifty seven says all the world came 207 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph because the famine 208 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: was severe everywhere. And this is where my compassion kicks in. 209 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: When I hear a preacher yelling at somebody for being 210 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: an alcoholic, or yelling at somebody because they have a 211 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: sexual addiction, or yelling at somebody because they go over 212 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: here and do this and that and the other. I 213 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: feel kind of like the person on the other end 214 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: needs to be able to say in their own defense, 215 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: it needs a need, and then we can help you, 216 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: once we're honest about that, find a better way to 217 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: meet that need through God. That's what salvation is. That's 218 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: what transformation has. Not that God tells you to starve 219 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: and swallow your spit and like it, but to get 220 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: joy from a place that won't create chains just to 221 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: make you comfortable. Now the text that we're in, Remember 222 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: it's been over four hundred years and the people of 223 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: God have come out of Egypt. But as we've learned, 224 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to come out of Egypt than 225 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: to get Egypt out of you. And that's why no 226 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: amount of new cities that you moved to can free 227 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: you from internal struggles that you carry, I should do this. 228 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: No amount of churches that you can hop to you 229 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: want another one, No amount of hair colors. I've had 230 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: a lot of hair colors. I'm telling you what I know. 231 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: But what's in us in your now? When they felt 232 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: the famine, they went to Egypt. And that wasn't a 233 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: bad thing. It wasn't a bad thing. It wasn't a 234 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: sinful thing. It wasn't like they went to Egypt to 235 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: run away from God. It wasn't like you know, in 236 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: the Bobby of Jonah running from God going to Nineveh 237 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: instead of going to Tarsish forg government. Wasn't that kind 238 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: of situation. It was a survivor instinct, and that's been 239 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: you for a little while. It was either go to 240 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: Egypt and survive or starve to death. You self medicated 241 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot of pain. You used anger as a defense 242 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: mechanism so that you wouldn't be abused in the areas 243 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: where you feel most vulnerable. That's how they got to Egypt. 244 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: And if we could start there with a little bit 245 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: of compassion to understand what the Israelites, you know, the 246 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: passage I read it sounded kind of rough, right. They 247 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: started complaining in the verses just before it says that 248 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: they complained about their hardships and the presence of the Lord, 249 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: and the outskirts of the camp started to burn and 250 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: be consumed with fire when they were complaining. I'm like, dang, 251 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: that's rough, because I guess one thing to criticize their 252 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: attachment to Egypt. Don't even understand their abuse to put 253 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: them in that position to begin with. So I'm reading 254 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: it and I'm thinking about Graham. A while back, Holly 255 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: asked him when you're out there wrestling, because he's a 256 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: pretty good little wrestler. She said, do you listen to 257 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: the coaches? Can you hear them when they're screaming at 258 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: you what to do all this stuff? Because she doesn't 259 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: know much about wrestling, But we're over there yelling cross face, sprawl, 260 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, all these things to do. He said, Well, 261 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: I can hear them, but I don't listen because they 262 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm going through. They don't know they 263 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm what I'm feeling. I said, son, 264 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: that's the benefit they have is that they can see it. 265 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: They're trying to get you to see what you need 266 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: to do, because when what you feel I start preaching 267 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: to him about it. I start preaching to him about it. 268 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: I start preaching to him about it. I said, because 269 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: they have the they have the benefit of being outside 270 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: of the situation to see what you need to do. 271 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: You are so deep in the struggle. That's the children 272 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: of Israel in numbers eleven. We look at this and 273 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: we're like, oh, how stupid could you be. We want 274 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: to go back to Egypt. Yeah, they want to go 275 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: back to Egypt, just like you want to go back 276 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: to Let me see your phone, and I can find 277 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: your pharaoh. Let me see your phone. I can find 278 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: your fear. I'm not gonna do it to you, but 279 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: I could. Oh, I could do it. I could do it. 280 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: I could find it because I know how it is. 281 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: We're sitting are precident, We're preching it. It's been centuries 282 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: since this was written, right, Sir, I don't have a pharaoh. 283 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: Then why do I see you ignoring your kids, not 284 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: living your real life and watch this filling yourself with 285 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: stuff that makes you feel worse in the end. What's 286 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: that about. I'll find your pharaoh, you can find mine. Yeah, 287 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: Because you were thinking I don't need this sermon comfort foods. 288 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good with my eating. I'm on a 289 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: gluten free drink only almond milk and wheat grass shots 290 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: and things of this nature that are good for my 291 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 1: digestive system and really kick the enzymes and overdrive. So 292 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: you can give this to someone else. Okay, so you 293 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: don't have comfort foods, you don't like cracker barrel, I 294 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: get it. You're not saying you're not going to heaven, 295 00:18:50,600 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: but that's all right. Do you have comfort friends? And 296 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm using the term friend loosely because we all need 297 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: people that can sit with us and be with us, 298 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: and we know they're there. I mean, I have several 299 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: people in this room that would I wouldn't have made 300 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: it this far without them. It's not what I'm talking about. 301 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: I'm talking about they make you feel better for five minutes. 302 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying you can avoid them or cut 303 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: them off because you got to show love like Jesus. 304 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 1: But I just want you to identify this because I 305 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: think some of us are drawn to relationships that keep 306 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: us in chains, and we like the chains because they're comfortable, 307 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: and when we meet somebody who would really challenge us 308 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: to change, we push them away I like chains. It 309 00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: feels comfortable, but it's not safe. It's not safe. You know, 310 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: there's a difference, right. It's kind of interesting to me 311 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: that we not only have comfort foods and sometimes comfort friends, 312 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: comfort phrases, things that we say to make ourselves feel better, 313 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: like excuses we make or we blame comfort phrases. Not 314 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: just comfort foods, comfort phrases. We feed ourselves these lines. Oh, well, 315 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: that's why I'm like that, and I never do that, 316 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: and well they can only do that because of this 317 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: and that, and well, nobody really loves me. That's just 318 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: all a way to keep us in the comfort of 319 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: our dysfunctional life. And you see it in the Israelites. 320 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: But you got to feel for them because they've been 321 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: in the wilderness for a year now, one year, one year, 322 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: and they've been eating the same menu item called mana, 323 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: the manna. It's kind of difficult to describe to you. 324 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: One is, because we don't have the same version of 325 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: that now. I can't bring it up here passing around 326 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: to do communion with it. You're not getting this at 327 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: Whole Foods. And I don't know that it was very delicious, 328 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: but it got the job done. And some seasons, God 329 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: will provide for you with something it's not necessarily like savory, 330 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: but it'll help you survive. And some seasons in our 331 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: life are like that. When they saw it manna literally 332 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: means what is it? It was brand new to them, 333 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: didn't taste like anything they've tasted before. But you gotta imagine, like, 334 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: the way it would work is when the dew would appear, 335 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: the mana would come and they could get enough for 336 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: that day. Right, give us this day our daily bread. 337 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: That's how God provides for you enough for right now, 338 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: enough for right now, and there will be more for 339 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: the next day. But you cannot reach into tomorrow and 340 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: pull in today's peace or some ply or joy or 341 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: anything like that. That's where you get stressed. That's where 342 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: you start wanting to go back to Egypt, start thinking 343 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: about the future or the past. All these things are dangerous. 344 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: But what was it like the first day they saw 345 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: the mana? Wow? What is it? I'm curious. Wow, there's 346 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: this strange sweet food on the ground. It's like honey 347 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: covered way first, it's a strange taste, but at least 348 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: we're eating. Remember, God wanted to bring them into the 349 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: Promised land. They tasted the grapes of Canaan, but they 350 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: forfeited their right to the fruit of that land because 351 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: of their lack of faith. So this put them in 352 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: a position of circling in the wilderness. And they've been 353 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: there for one year now, and the Mana has gotten monotonous. 354 00:22:52,240 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: The miracle has gotten monotonous, all of us complaining, ungrateful people, 355 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: get ready because I'm coming for us. The miracle got 356 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: monotonous to you. I thought that's how it said it 357 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: in the verse. Put numbers eleven six up there against 358 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: so Jenna can see it. She needs to see this. 359 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: We've lost our appetite. We never see anything but this manna. 360 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: Like how you felt in quarantine looking at John sal 361 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: every day, looking at that same guy every day. You 362 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: remember you used to see him up on stage praising God. 363 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: Awe if I could just be with that man of 364 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: God with his annointed vocal course. And then about month 365 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: month three of quarantine, month for you're looking at him like, 366 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: what is it? You know, it's changed from a statement 367 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: of possibility to predictability. And now I'm bored with this. 368 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: Used to watch elevation online all the way across the world. 369 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: Now six am rehearsals. What is it? That's what amazes 370 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: me about how you stay excited. I love that because 371 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: to eat the same thing every day. So I thought, 372 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: what got them in trouble? I thought, what got them 373 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: in trouble is that is that they had the same 374 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: thing every day. And so they started complaining, all we 375 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: want the fish of Egypt, the fish of Pharaoh. Oh 376 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: so good. I'm sick of this man. I'm so tired 377 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: of this man. I'm so tired of this man. I'm 378 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: so tired of this woman. I'm so tired of this life. 379 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm so tired of this thing. It's the same every day. 380 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: But I had to keep studying it for the context, 381 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: because that's where the key was to me, understanding what 382 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: really happened here, What made them want to go back 383 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: to a place where they were slaves, What made them 384 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: want to give up their right to freedom, to go 385 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: back into their role as slaves. See, on one hand, 386 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: the Manna was the same every day, never changed flavors. 387 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: It's like God put a HelloFresh in the wilderness, but 388 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: it was the same. It's like it got locked on 389 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: the same all right, the same meal every time, and 390 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: you keep waiting on it change and it doesn't. At 391 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: the same time, while everything was the same every day, 392 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: same wilderness, same food, same diet, same same same same same, 393 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: same old crap, same old patterns, same old me. I 394 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: asked the Lord, when year could I just have somebody 395 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: else's dysfunctions, just to try them on and see if 396 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: I liked them better? You get tired of your own 397 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: At the same time that everything was the same and 398 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: they were sick of it. Everything had changed. At the 399 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: same time that they were eating the same food every day. 400 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: I want to see if you can relate to this. 401 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: At the same time that they were doing the same 402 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: thing every day, gathering the same man. Okay, we take 403 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: it this day, we leave it on Sunday, we get 404 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: you're on Saturday, we get twice as much before the Sabbath, 405 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: and then we rest. At the same time that they're 406 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: going through this gridlock system of the same. Everything has changed. 407 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: They've never been free before, not for four hundred years 408 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: at least, and everything has changed, and everything is the 409 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: same every day. And it is the combination of everything 410 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: feeling the same, mundane boring, along with the instability of 411 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: everything that you've ever known going away that causes them 412 00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 1: to crave something that almost kills them. Wow. Wow, do 413 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: you think this is a little bit like us in 414 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty one where it feels like everything changed, 415 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: and at the same time, every day just feels like 416 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: another replay, the same bad news, the same thing. Because look, everything, 417 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you the whole story, because if I 418 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: just give you a compendium of this, you will miss 419 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: the essence of it. It's really important that you get 420 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: inside of this. They had to move constantly in the wilderness, 421 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: and they had no you're you're ready to see how 422 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: relevant the Bible is. They had no schedule for it. 423 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: So every day it was like, am I taking my 424 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: kids to school? Am I gonna drop them off at school? 425 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: Am I gonna drop them in a river? Am I 426 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: gonna homeschool them? Cook them lunch? I mean, well, you 427 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: know what am I gonna do with them today? So 428 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: it's day by day? The man, it was day by day, 429 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: but it was the same, but everything had changed. And 430 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: so at first I thought, Okay, well they just wanted 431 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: to but no, they wanted the same, but they wanted 432 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: to change. But they wanted the same, and they were 433 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: stuck in between, and in between you have nothing. That's 434 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: what Bono said. Bono said one time they were about 435 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: to break up. You two, he said, and in order 436 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: to get to the next expression of the band, you 437 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: have to reject the first one, and in between you 438 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: have nothing. That's what it feels like at first. So 439 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: to fill it, you want to go back to what 440 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: you know, right. That's why we can preach these sermons. 441 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: You know, I want you to leave your life of 442 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: sin behind. And that sermon feels good for five minutes, 443 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: For five okay, I'll give you fifteen minutes. I'll even 444 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: give you three days. But see that doesn't really change anyone, 445 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: because what is happening as you are embracing your new 446 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: nature in christis you got out of Egypt, but all 447 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: of Egypt is not out of you yet. And it's 448 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: not that they're not a real Christian, and it's not 449 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: that you're a bad person, and it's not you need 450 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: somebody to beat you of you straw across face. I 451 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: got something on top of me that I need to 452 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: know how to deal with. I feel the famine. And 453 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: then the question becomes, so where do you go when 454 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: you feel the famine? When you feel alone, when you 455 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: feel ashamed, when you feel afraid. I heard it this 456 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: way in my mind, fruit or fish, Not that one's 457 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: bad on the dietary level. I'm no nutritionis promise you 458 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: that I can't teach you about boiled peanuts and the 459 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: correct way to eat them and the exact time to 460 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: eat them. We could teach you these things and another 461 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: seminar at some point. But remember what God wanted for 462 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: his peace when he let them spy out the land, 463 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: the grapes of canaan. And then look what has come 464 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: to after one year in the wilderness. And think about 465 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: what has come to after a year of us going 466 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: through a very unsettling time. And at the same time 467 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: it's unsettling, it's completely boring. How can we be so 468 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: bored and so scared at the same time. It's been 469 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: one year in the wilderness. I remember when the first 470 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: guy came to elevation with a mask on, and I 471 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: told security to keep an eye on him because I'd 472 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: never seen that before. This was before the pandemic, before 473 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: the NBA shut down, before we before we have any 474 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: clue that this was going to be what it is. 475 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: And I remember them telling me on a Saturday night. 476 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: There's a guy here with a mask on. There's a 477 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,239 Speaker 1: guy here with a mask on, and we thought he 478 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: was an aly and we've never seen that before. And 479 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: now the whole world feels like no offense, but like 480 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: a TSA checkpoint where I don't know the rules from 481 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: one thing to the next, and I'm completely disoriented, Like 482 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: if wear a mask. In some places they're like, oh, 483 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: that's great, you love your neighbor other you're a communist 484 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: Euros conspiracy illuminati, you know. Ah. And so everything's so 485 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: predictably stupid. Everybody's so predictably mad. That's mad all the time. 486 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: And so now I crave something stable. But watch this, 487 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: shains aren't stable. They only make you feel that way. 488 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: So now, if I stay in Egypt, if I stay 489 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: with meeting the need, if I stay with Pharaoh, whatever 490 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: my Pharaoh is, I will never befure. That's the thing 491 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: about Pharaoh's fish. We wish. Look, we hood in Egypt. Really, 492 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: you want whips like you had in Egypt? Come on, 493 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: come on, I want to get back to who it 494 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: was BC before Corona. I don't want to get back 495 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: to the old ways, the old times. I don't want 496 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: to get back to how it was when I was 497 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: having a nervous breakdown and my husban verge of divorce, 498 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, I get back to that garlic and onions 499 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: and leaks. That's what they were talking about. And the 500 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: reason they were thinking about Egypt's garlic is because they 501 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: had forfeited Canaan's grapes. It's the same every day, and 502 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: yet we can't plan anything. And I just thought I 503 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: got to preach this because it feels like it belongs 504 00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: in a newspaper. It feels like it was written for us. 505 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: We're hungry. We're hungry, and we got to decide whether 506 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: we're going to crave the fish of Egypt or move 507 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: forward into the fruit of Canaan. The manna was never 508 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: meant to be permanent. The manna was the mercy of God. 509 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: You know. The reason they didn't like the taste of manna, 510 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: they weren't supposed to. God didn't want them to die 511 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: in the wilderness. So he's using those things to get 512 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: you going forward to the grapes. He's using these things. 513 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: He's using this dissatisfaction so that you don't settle in 514 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: a place of survival, but just step into everything that 515 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: he has for you, and some of us were going 516 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: to die in the wilderness, but God allowed us to 517 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: lose our taste for comfort food. It's pretty good. It's 518 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: pretty good. I didn't even give you the message yet. 519 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: Watch this. The whole time that I've read this passage, 520 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: because I've read it before and i've heard it. You 521 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: just talk talk about a devotion on complaining. You know, 522 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: make up your bed, don't complain, do the right thing, 523 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: don't complain, shut up, or wear your mask or don't 524 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 1: wear your mask and don't complain. Right, that's a surface 525 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: level interpretation. What we're looking for is what really makes 526 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: me crave something that kills me? Or like you said 527 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: in the Pound the other day, Elijah said something. He goes, 528 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: why do we crave what we hate? I said, stop 529 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: right now. We're in the middle of a workout. I said, 530 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: stop right now. I took a big red marker and 531 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: wrote it down on the page. That's the question we're after. Remember, 532 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: they cried out for God to get them out of Egypt. Yeah, 533 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: and then God did, and now they're willing to go back. 534 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: But I get it because, like Graham said, I'm not 535 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: under the pressure of having to follow a moving cloud 536 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: and a fire and not ever knowing when I'm going 537 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: to be situated. So why do you crave what you hate? 538 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Why do you prefer pessimistic thoughts? Why you just tend 539 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: to gravitate toward that or self pity? Why you like that? 540 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: Why do you like to say stuff, real horrible stuff 541 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: about yourself that you would fight somebody else if they 542 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: said it to one of your friends. Why do you 543 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: crave that? Why you feed yourself? That feed yourself? That 544 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: I always like to point out when we're talking about 545 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: your phone is your pharaoh. That most of the stuff 546 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: that you're doing is called a feed. And have you 547 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: noticed it doesn't really feel you. How many have you 548 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: got off Instagram or Facebook one night this week and say, God, 549 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: I just feel so fresh, I feel so ready for 550 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: what's next? You know what? My faith in humanity is 551 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: RECs storage. Just seeing the comments of those who the 552 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: Lord is appointed to speak into my life. Hmm, garlic 553 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: onions leagues, this is delicious. Listen man, It's like it 554 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: was in Egypt. They gave them bricks with no straw. 555 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: That's what these social media apps are designed to do 556 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: to us, to starve us and to keep us coming. 557 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: You'll better watch the documentary on Netflix. This crap is 558 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: real and it doesn't fill you. Your appetite for the 559 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: wrong things is insatiable. And yet some of the stuff 560 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: you crave isn't bad. It's just where are you gonna 561 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: go to get it? That's what I love. That's what 562 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: I love about God is that He's got what I 563 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: really want. So let me ask you a question. Why 564 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: would you run to Pharaoh to beg for something that 565 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: your father can really give you want. I don't want 566 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: this to be a negative sermon. Let me preach for 567 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: a few minutes about your father's fridge. All right, let 568 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: me preach for a few We're talking about comfort food. 569 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: So let's go all the way forward a few centuries 570 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,720 Speaker 1: when a rabbi named Jesus showed up and started teaching, 571 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: and he said, let me tell you what the Kingdom 572 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: of God is like. The Kingdom of God is like, Oh, 573 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: it's like a man who has a hundred sheep lost 574 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: one went after the one. Oh, it's like a woman 575 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: who had ten coins lost one went after the one. 576 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 1: Or if you didn't get that, it's like a man 577 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: who had two sons lost one. The one said, I'm 578 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: going to take my inheritance, said the Bible says in 579 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: Luke fifteen. God, I love how the Bible just goes together. 580 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: It's like a great meal where all of the dishes 581 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: compliment each other. And I was thinking about the famine 582 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: that they felt in the wilderness, and then I thought 583 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: about this, this younger son in Luke fifteen. You know, 584 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 1: miss the prodigal son. You might have heard about him. 585 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: He gets blamed for a lot of stuff. He went 586 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: out and took his money, his father's money, and wasted it. 587 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: He took what he could have invested and wasted it. 588 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: And some of us have done that. We've wasted time, 589 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: we've wasted thoughts. We've wasted energy, we've wasted intellect. We've 590 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: wasted passions, we've wasted desires. We have craved inordinate things. 591 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 1: That's what the word means in numbers eleven four. It 592 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: means to crave an inordinate thing, with an indiscriminate leaning 593 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: on your senses, just eaten anything. And that's what happened 594 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: to the son who left his father's house. I want 595 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: to read this to you and see if this is 596 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: how you've been feeling lately. The Lord told me that 597 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: we are feeling the famine. And it's not even just 598 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: an economic thing, because you might be like, well, my 599 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: job's fine. I think we're feeling a famine just for 600 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: some basic human contact these days, because everything's new and 601 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: everything's the same, and it feels endless and it feels 602 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: different all at the same time. I never had to 603 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: walk up to people think before and think, do we 604 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: shake hands? Are we going to do this? I used 605 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,439 Speaker 1: to have to be like, are we gonna adapt? We're 606 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: just gonna shake What are we doing? Are we doing this? 607 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: Are we doing that? Now? I don't even know if 608 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: we touch each other. I never had to ask that before. 609 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: But it feels like it's just the same every day. 610 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: And when the younger brother look at Luke fifteen, verse thirteen, 611 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: it said he got together everything that his father gave 612 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,760 Speaker 1: him set out to a distant country. You see that, yes, 613 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: put it in the chat, say I see it a 614 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: distant country. So he went to a foreign place, just 615 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: like the Israelites. Now here's the difference. He went to 616 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: a foreign place. Put the verse back, cup please. He 617 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: went to a foreign place, and he wasn't running from 618 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: a famine. He was running from his father. I understand 619 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: running from a famine, but why would he run from 620 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: his father? When he got there, he squandered his wealth 621 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: in wild living. When you read that, you think about 622 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: all the things that you don't struggle with. But I 623 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: would challenge you to plug in something that personally fits 624 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: for you there. Don't take it straight to the strip 625 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: club because you would never go there. When you see 626 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: wild living, think about the other things. Think about the 627 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: things that keep you spending, spending, spending, spending, spending, not 628 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 1: just money, but keep you just spending, spending, spending, Hungry, hungry, hungry, thirsty, thirsty, thirsty, 629 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: right feeding, feeding, feeding, Think about these things, think about 630 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: what it is for you. It could be something different 631 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: for each person in here. But look at this, what 632 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: happened next first place, after he has spent everything, Because 633 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: that's what eventually happens. That's what eventually happens. Eventually you're 634 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: just spent. How many can testify that? Eventually? You know? 635 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: When you go to a foreigned place away from who 636 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, you really are away from character. First, chasing 637 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: after applause from people, or chasing after somebody's approval, it 638 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: doesn't feel you Pharaoh can never feed you. There aren't 639 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: enough fish in the world. And while we're at it, 640 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: the fish aren't that good. They aren't as good as 641 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,959 Speaker 1: you remember them. They aren't as good as you imagine them. 642 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 1: The fish are not that good. It's full of bones 643 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 1: and it'll choke you on the bones. The fish are 644 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: not that good. The fish are not worth me giving 645 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 1: up myself for the fish are not worth me giving 646 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 1: up my peace for No. No, there's not a fish 647 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: in the world. There is not a fish in Egypt. 648 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: There is not a fish in the Nile that is 649 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: worth me giving up my knowledge of God and myself. 650 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: That's what the younger brother did. And after he had 651 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: spent everything, there was a severe famine in the whole country, 652 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: and he began to be in need. And it was 653 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: a good thing that there was a famine, because it 654 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: brought him back to his father. It's a good thing 655 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: if it brings you closer to God, it's a good thing. 656 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about feels good in this five minutes. 657 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about comfort. I'm talking about change, grace, faith, 658 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: the good stuff, the stuff you can live on, not 659 00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: what this kid started eating. Look what happens to you 660 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: when you leave your father. Look what happens to you 661 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: when you start remembering Egypt's fish and forgetting God's faithfulness. 662 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: Look what happens This boy went and hired himself out 663 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 1: to a citizen of that country. You don't belong here. 664 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying that to somebody. You do not belong in 665 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: this low place. You do not belong at three in 666 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: the morning on some porn hub, trying to find something 667 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: to fill you that only makes you more hungry. You 668 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: do not belong in that place. And yes, this is 669 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: a real pulpit, and yes we talk about real stuff. 670 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: And yes, I live in the world, and yes I 671 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: know that some of us. I'm not yelling at you. 672 00:43:53,160 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 1: I'm pleading with you. Yeah, don't let a craven kill you. Yeah, 673 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: you want acceptance good, you want enjoy good, you want 674 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: life good, you want more good. The problem with most 675 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: Christians isn't that we want too much. We don't want enough. 676 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 1: We'll settle for fish. God wants to give us fruit, 677 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: We'll settle for a hide. When God wants us to 678 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,879 Speaker 1: be seated above all the noise of this world. I'm 679 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: telling you what I found out the hard way. The 680 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: boy didn't want to know. He just wanted his share 681 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 1: of the inheritance. And look where it left him, Look 682 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: where it leaves you. This is why we've been feeling weak. 683 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: This is why, not because of something going on externally. 684 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no no. The Bible says 685 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: that he looked at the pigs that he was feeding 686 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 1: verse sixteen, and he longed to fill his stomach with 687 00:44:52,800 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: the pods. That the pig's reading comfort food, something that 688 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: was fit for an animal. Have you been doing that? 689 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: Thoughts that you telling yourself things, You've been believing lies, 690 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,720 Speaker 1: You've been going to just to feel full for five 691 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 1: minutes and then he had a moment of realization. And 692 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: I love it because he came verse seventeen to his 693 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:35,359 Speaker 1: senses and he said to himself, my father's fridge is full. 694 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: I just paraphrase that. I like the way that sounded. 695 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: Put it right there in the chat. Say it with 696 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: your mouth out loud. My father's fridge is full. Say 697 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: it again. My father's fridge is full. Say it again, 698 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: out loud. My father's fridge is full. Multitask while you're 699 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: typing it, say it, my father's fridge is full. Look 700 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: at the person on the couch next to you and 701 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: brag about it. Look at him and say, my father's 702 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: fridge is full. And tell somebody else that you've been 703 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 1: going to that's been abusing you. Your fish are not 704 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:17,920 Speaker 1: that delicious. My father's fridge is full. And tell every 705 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: pharaoh that keeps you in chains of ways of believing 706 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: and behaving and living and thinking and hurting and bleeding 707 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: and starving, my father's fridge is full. The thought pharaoh, 708 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: I got a father, The thought pigs, I got a father. 709 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 1: It's full, it's full. He's got all the comfort you need, 710 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: he's got all the joy you have him In needing 711 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: the wrong things, you've been getting them from the wrong place. 712 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: It's an acquired day. Truth is an acquired taste when 713 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: you've been eating lies all your life. So the Lord 714 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: said that we should think about comfort food today. We 715 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 1: should ask ourselves the question why do I crave what 716 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 1: I hate? And what would be a better way to 717 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:31,280 Speaker 1: get in? You know, like practically there is a better 718 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: way inside of God to get this done. For everything 719 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: that's destroying your life. I want you to realize that 720 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 1: your father has it in every decision that you make. 721 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 1: Here's what you're deciding, am I going to get it 722 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 1: from Pharaoh? Or am I going to get it from 723 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: my father. One is a chain restaurant. It's going to 724 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: keep you stuck right where you are in Egypt. But 725 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: the other one, if the sun makes you free, you 726 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: will be free. Indeed, and the key to everything I'm 727 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 1: trying to teach you is in Numbers, chapter eleven, verse four, 728 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:23,720 Speaker 1: when the Israelites craved the meat of Egypt. It all started. 729 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 1: Look at this because the rabble that was with them. 730 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: And you may ask me, Pastor Fredick, I know what 731 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: rabble is. But just for the other people who don't 732 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: study their Bibles as much, what exactly do you mean 733 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: by rabble? When I show you this, you're going to understand. 734 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 1: Listen to me, By the spirit of God, I'm not 735 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,879 Speaker 1: playing with your emotions here. I'm telling you what God 736 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: showed me. When you see what the rabble was, you 737 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: will begin to understand why you've been craving things that 738 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 1: you hate that destroy you. When the Israelites left Egypt, 739 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 1: they had to do it in a hurry. They did 740 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: it in the middle of the night, and some of 741 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,479 Speaker 1: your life has been like that. You've just been trying 742 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 1: to stay one step ahead of something really bad, right, 743 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,320 Speaker 1: survival mode, Stay with me. I know I've said a lot, 744 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: and I know I cooked too much. But get some 745 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: tupperware and take this home, Okay, get some toughware. Yeah yeah, tupleware, tupperware, 746 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,800 Speaker 1: a tuppleware, a tupplewa, a tuplewear. And I got a 747 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 1: tupperware in the morning. I got a tupperware in night. Yeah. 748 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 1: Now what is it? Exodus twelve? Is it thirty seven? 749 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,800 Speaker 1: It describes it thirty eight when they left in the darkness, 750 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: about two million strong, six hundred thousand men, women and children. 751 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: When they left on foot like that, and they got 752 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: everything they put in their hands from the Egyptians, and 753 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 1: they left Egypt where they were enslaved, where they went 754 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,760 Speaker 1: to originally be fed, which represented the place of bondage, 755 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: which represents what you might be leaving this year or 756 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,720 Speaker 1: trying to leave. Here's what happen them. Many other people 757 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: went up with them. That's the rabble. When it says 758 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: give me numbers eleven four again, when it says the 759 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 1: rabble with them begin to crave other food, it's the 760 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 1: Egyptians that left with them that were not one of them. 761 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 1: So when you left Egypt, all of Egypt didn't leave you. 762 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about people. I'm talking about perspectives, patterns. 763 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the things that went with you. You're 764 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 1: in Christ, You're a new creation, but don't be alarmed 765 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 1: when some of the old cravings are still there. That's 766 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 1: the rabble. And God said that the first step to receiving. 767 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 1: This is what I'm gonna teach you about for the 768 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 1: next few weeks. Are you ready, I'm gonna pick this 769 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,840 Speaker 1: up next week. I'm gonna pick this up next week, 770 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: but we're going to talk about having room to receive 771 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: in your life. Room. Everybody put that in all caps 772 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,319 Speaker 1: in the chat. I feel like it's our series for 773 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: the new year, room to receive, and in order to 774 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: have room to receive, the new things, the grapes of Canaan, 775 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 1: the promises of God, the good things, the encouragement, the life, 776 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: the joy, the honey, the sweetness, the things that God 777 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: has called you, the savor, the truth that has already 778 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 1: in you, but keeps getting crowded out by the lies, 779 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: by the rabble, by the routines, by the attitudes, by 780 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: the beliefs, by the behaviors, by the limitations by the 781 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 1: examples you've seen. I just spelled the word rabble, go 782 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 1: back and check it. It's all of those things. It's 783 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 1: the routines, it's the attitudes, it's the beliefs, it's the behaviors, 784 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: it's the lies, the limitations you believe. And it is 785 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: the examples that you have seen set that keep you 786 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 1: reaching for Egypt's fish when Canaan's grapes are right in 787 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: front of you. And I want you to remember going 788 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: into this new year that before you can receive the blessing, 789 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: God has to remove the rabble. And so here's the decision, 790 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,919 Speaker 1: and we will make it together, because I think we'll 791 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: be better served if we do this together this year 792 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 1: in order to receive God's best for our life. I 793 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: want to ask you a question. Are you willing to 794 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 1: allow God to remove the rabble, the old that feels good, 795 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 1: that draws you back in? Are you willing to allow 796 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: it will be a process. Look at this passage. It 797 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 1: says in numbers eleven, verse thirty four. And it's so 798 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:43,280 Speaker 1: crazy because they craved quail, meat, fish, garlic, leaks, onions, 799 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 1: all the egypt stuff. You know how good they knew 800 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 1: the menu from Egypt. It had been ingrained in them. 801 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with this menu. I know exactly what to 802 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,399 Speaker 1: do with this old pattern. Oh, but the new one, 803 00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 1: the new one. What is this? Man? What is this? 804 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: That's exactly where God wants you. It's uncertain. That doesn't 805 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,800 Speaker 1: mean it's unsafe. Your father has enough in his house. 806 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: So God is bringing us to our senses. And when 807 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: they complained, God sent them so much quail that it 808 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 1: started coming out of there their noses. One other scripture says, 809 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 1: but they couldn't digest it because while it was in 810 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: their teeth. Pharaoh's food never fills you. And it says 811 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 1: in verse thirty four that the place where they complained 812 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 1: was called Kibroth Hatafa, because there they buried the people 813 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:53,560 Speaker 1: who craved other food. Can I tell you what kibbath? 814 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,320 Speaker 1: Put it back up because I don't know how to 815 00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: pronounce it. Hatava means it literally means graves of craving. 816 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 1: And the Lord is bringing us into a new year 817 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 1: with a question funeral or feast, Funeral or feast, or 818 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 1: maybe he's saying, let's have the funeral for the rabble 819 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: so that we can feast on what the Father has 820 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: more than enough of Stand up. I'm closing, and give 821 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 1: God twenty one seconds of praise. I'm counting you. Just clap. No, no, 822 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:54,320 Speaker 1: that's not praise like a Canaan praise, like a grateful 823 00:54:54,400 --> 00:55:00,399 Speaker 1: praise like eighth the Egyptians you see today, you will 824 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: see no more. Come on, get uncomfortable, get uncomfortable, Come on, 825 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:12,280 Speaker 1: get uncomfortable, and praise them. If you know, it's acomfortably 826 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 1: out there in the father's house. So look at this, 827 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 1: and I bless you, and I bless you. But before 828 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 1: I bless you with the blessing of a new year, 829 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: I want to show you what the father said to 830 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,839 Speaker 1: the older son. See, there was a younger son who 831 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 1: left the father's house and he was starving. But that 832 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 1: wasn't the saddest part of Luke fifteen. There was another 833 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,760 Speaker 1: son who was starving, and he was in the house. 834 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 1: And that's you. That's you. That's you. There's no need 835 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 1: for you to starve, for the need of what your 836 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 1: father has plenty of. And I want you to just 837 00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 1: turn your poems like this is a new Year's consecration. 838 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 1: I know we're a few days into the year. You 839 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,359 Speaker 1: might even be watching this three years after I appreci it. 840 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,320 Speaker 1: God doesn't care about that. Lift your hands, because the 841 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 1: only thing that makes it new is you. What good 842 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 1: is it God to give you a new opportunity if 843 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:22,920 Speaker 1: you're going to stay on an Egyptian diet. Lord, you 844 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:32,320 Speaker 1: are our food, our bread, our sustenance. We live, move, breathe, 845 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 1: and have our being in you. That's it. All that 846 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: we need is in this moment. Because you are in 847 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: this moment. You are not enough. You are more than enough. 848 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 1: You are enough with tupperware. So Lord, in the strength 849 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 1: of this word that you spoke today, we commit a 850 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 1: new year to you. We would hate to be the 851 00:56:54,760 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: bearers of a Canaan promise and die with an Egyptian appetite. 852 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,840 Speaker 1: We want to speak to you this week about the rabble, 853 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 1: the rabble, the rabble. For them, it was people that 854 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,319 Speaker 1: had to be buried before they could move forward in 855 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 1: the graves of craving. But for us, it's going to 856 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: be those other things. Those routines that are killing us, 857 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: Attitudes that are squeezing us, beliefs that are limiting us, 858 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 1: behaviors that are sabotaging us, Labels and limits and lies 859 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 1: that are confining us. The examples that we see that 860 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 1: have shown us that Egypt that we've seen is what 861 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 1: we're going back to. But we're not going back. We 862 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 1: don't want to go back. We're looking back. We're going forward. 863 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: You brought us through this far. We didn't come out 864 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 1: here to die. We're not going to wander in this 865 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 1: wilderness complaining about what you fed us. You gave us 866 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 1: what we need for the season that we're in, and 867 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 1: we're grateful, and we're thankful, and you are a good father, 868 00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 1: and it is right for us to celeb. So we 869 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 1: clap our hands all over the world. We thank you 870 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: for our necessary food. We thank you for living water. 871 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:19,000 Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus. I'll show you this, 872 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 1: and I promise I'm going to turn it over to 873 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: the team. When the younger son came home, the older 874 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:32,080 Speaker 1: brother was mad, but the father said in verse thirty 875 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 1: one of Luke fifteen, my son, you're always with me. 876 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 1: Everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate 877 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: and be glad because this brother of yours was dead 878 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 1: and is alive again. He was lost in is fun well. 879 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 1: The older brother stood outside with his arms crossed because 880 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 1: he wasn't used to this way of seeing his father operate, 881 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 1: just like you're not used to what you've been experiencing. 882 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 1: Either the father made a choice for the son funeral 883 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 1: or feast. Your brother was dead, he's alive. You have 884 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: a decision to make this year the graves of craving 885 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 1: or the feast of your father. I pray in the 886 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:36,480 Speaker 1: name of Jesus that you will choose life. In Jesus' name. Hey, 887 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: it's me again. You can't get away from me. What 888 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 1: a privilege to share God's word with you today. I 889 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 1: pray that you were fed, strengthened, and now ready to 890 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: fight the good fight of faith. Thank you to everybody 891 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 1: who gives to this ministry. I always like to say 892 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 1: that because you know, without someone investing in the ground 893 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 1: of the ministry, there can be no harvest. And so 894 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 1: thank you all of you who give to the ministry. 895 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Regularly gave to our favorite offering.
