15
00:00:58,090 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: Your Reflect sermon was so powerful. Phenomenal. Y'all saw the

16
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: walls need a new coat of paint after she preached.

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,140
Speaker 1: I think she'll paint them pink if she gets the opportunity,

18
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: so y'all paint them quick before she gets to pick

19
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:23,150
Speaker 1: the color. Today I get to share with you a

20
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:26,150
Speaker 1: Scripture that I have been waiting to share for a

21
00:01:26,190 --> 00:01:27,650
Speaker 1: year and a half. On February 27, 2005, I was

22
00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:32,910
Speaker 1: in Tulsa, Oklahoma, And I was doing my daily scripture

23
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:34,890
Speaker 1: for our family Bible club where you have to pick

24
00:01:34,930 --> 00:01:37,370
Speaker 1: a verse and send it to everybody in the club

25
00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:40,930
Speaker 1: with a devotional. Our reading that day fell to Psalm 56.

26
00:01:40,930 --> 00:01:42,809
Speaker 1: And I want you to turn there if you have

27
00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:45,570
Speaker 1: your Bible. I'm going to read just four verses of

28
00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: Psalm 56 with you because the Lord used it to

29
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: minister to me. I deal with a lot of anxiety,

30
00:01:53,980 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: especially around traveling. Even for a fun trip. I can

31
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,899
Speaker 1: turn it into work. We could go to a tropical

32
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: vacation and I can be terrified about TSA. But this

33
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: was the pressure from ministry. We were on our elevation

34
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:21,500
Speaker 1: nights and I said, man, I don't have time to

35
00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:23,180
Speaker 1: do this key verse. I got to preach tonight. And

36
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,500
Speaker 1: the Lord said, you don't have time not to. So

37
00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:28,220
Speaker 1: I opened my Bible and I read these verses and

38
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,780
Speaker 1: they really helped me. And it was very powerful to me.

39
00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: One verse says, in specific. Well, I guess two verses

40
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:33,930
Speaker 2: in specific.

41
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:36,790
Speaker 1: By the way, I see you online that are sharing

42
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:40,489
Speaker 1: the different places that you're coming from. I'm going to

43
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:42,450
Speaker 1: turn the phone over now so I can focus and preach,

44
00:02:42,810 --> 00:02:45,850
Speaker 1: but welcome. Can we welcome our online eFam all around

45
00:02:45,870 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: the world? Listen to this from Psalm 56, verses one

46
00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: through four. Be merciful to me, my God, my enemies

47
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: are in hot pursuit. All day long they press their attack.

48
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,060
Speaker 1: My adversaries pursue me.

49
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:16,770
Speaker 2: All day long. In their pride, many are attacking me.

50
00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:24,370
Speaker 1: When I am afraid, I put my trust in you,

51
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:28,950
Speaker 1: in God, whose word I praise.

52
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: In God I trust, and am not afraid. I love it.

53
00:03:35,770 --> 00:03:38,630
Speaker 2: I love it so much. What can mere mortals do

54
00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:38,930
Speaker 2: to me?

55
00:03:38,950 --> 00:03:43,210
Speaker 1: I love it because of the jump from verse 3

56
00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:48,230
Speaker 1: to verse 4. When I am afraid, and then verse 4,

57
00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:51,500
Speaker 1: I am not afraid. I want to study how to

58
00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: get there.

59
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,420
Speaker 2: How about you?

60
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Today I want to teach you how to train your

61
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,490
Speaker 1: heart to trust. Train your heart to trust. It's such

62
00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:06,030
Speaker 1: a serious scripture, but I want to set it up

63
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:09,770
Speaker 1: with a silly example, so go with me. My dad

64
00:04:09,810 --> 00:04:11,890
Speaker 1: was a barber. When I was eight years old, I

65
00:04:11,930 --> 00:04:15,530
Speaker 1: went in to get a very special haircut from him.

66
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,620
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I think I've had so many

67
00:04:17,650 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: different hairstyles and haircuts through the years of pastoring this

68
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,659
Speaker 1: church is because my dad was a barber, and I

69
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: always got my haircuts for free. so I just got

70
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,020
Speaker 1: kind of addicted to doing different stuff to my hair,

71
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,370
Speaker 1: I guess. But he wasn't really a fancy barber or

72
00:04:33,410 --> 00:04:35,190
Speaker 1: anything like that. But I had one thing I wanted.

73
00:04:35,250 --> 00:04:38,490
Speaker 1: I wanted him to give me a spike. I wanted

74
00:04:38,529 --> 00:04:41,070
Speaker 1: a mohawk. My friend Jeffrey had a mohawk, but he

75
00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:44,539
Speaker 1: wasn't down with the mohawk. I didn't know about the

76
00:04:44,580 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: mullet yet, but I saw Sting, the professional wrestler Sting, wrestling,

77
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: and he had a big old spike hair, and he

78
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,220
Speaker 1: had face paint, but I knew I wasn't going to

79
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,770
Speaker 1: get to have the face paint. and wear it to school.

80
00:04:58,190 --> 00:04:59,930
Speaker 1: I said, can you cut my hair to a spike? Well,

81
00:05:00,450 --> 00:05:02,210
Speaker 1: I went into the barbershop, and one day he put

82
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:04,330
Speaker 1: the cape on me and put me in the chair.

83
00:05:04,450 --> 00:05:07,390
Speaker 1: I'd grown my hair out for this occasion to prepare

84
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: for it. He gets his clippers going, and he's doing

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: his thing. He turns me around in the chair about

86
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: 15 minutes later and spins me around to that big mirror.

87
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,140
Speaker 1: He had put all this product and gel in my hair,

88
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: and there it was. I had my spike, and I

89
00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:27,299
Speaker 1: was so excited. I was so excited about my spike.

90
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:32,570
Speaker 1: I had really envisioned this moment. It was really a

91
00:05:32,610 --> 00:05:34,290
Speaker 1: big moment for me. That's why I remember it. I

92
00:05:34,330 --> 00:05:39,190
Speaker 1: was only eight years old. My excitement turned to despair

93
00:05:39,610 --> 00:05:43,650
Speaker 1: very quickly, because it had only been five or ten minutes,

94
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:49,380
Speaker 1: and my hair started going down flat. I just wanted

95
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:52,339
Speaker 1: to cry. I was eight years old, and my spike

96
00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: was going down, my freshly minted spike was disappearing before

97
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: my eyes. I was so disappointed. I said, Dad, it

98
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,900
Speaker 1: didn't work. He said, Oh, it worked. There's nothing wrong

99
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: with the cut. You just have to train it to

100
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,750
Speaker 1: stay that way. Your hair is used to laying down flat.

101
00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:20,110
Speaker 1: I still remember this from eight years old. He said,

102
00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:25,130
Speaker 1: You've got to train it to stay that way. Nothing

103
00:06:25,190 --> 00:06:28,169
Speaker 1: wrong with what I did with my clippers. I know

104
00:06:28,190 --> 00:06:32,859
Speaker 1: what I'm doing with my clippers, but it's just got

105
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,220
Speaker 1: to be trained to stay that way. I wish my

106
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: dad could come back and tell me he taught me

107
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:40,660
Speaker 1: how to train my hair.

108
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: I did, and it worked.

109
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: I have a little picture just to show you real quick.

110
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,540
Speaker 2: I trained it, and.

111
00:06:50,339 --> 00:06:50,620
Speaker 1: It was.

112
00:06:52,860 --> 00:06:57,230
Speaker 2: Pretty good. Not quite like sting. Not quite what I pictured,

113
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:58,750
Speaker 2: but close enough. There I am.

114
00:06:58,990 --> 00:07:02,060
Speaker 1: You see the joy in my eyes as I'm holding

115
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: up that peace sign with a little bit of a spike,

116
00:07:04,580 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a mullet. He said, you've got

117
00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:11,260
Speaker 1: to train it to stay that way. Put the picture down.

118
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: I really love y'all to show you this stuff. That's uncomfortable.

119
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,950
Speaker 1: But I wish he could show me how to train

120
00:07:22,050 --> 00:07:22,430
Speaker 1: my heart.

121
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:25,900
Speaker 2: I trained my hair.

122
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,290
Speaker 1: He sent me home with some gel and a comb.

123
00:07:30,590 --> 00:07:34,450
Speaker 1: He said, every day, just stand it up straight. Stop

124
00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:38,330
Speaker 1: wearing hats and stand it up straight. Every day, just

125
00:07:38,370 --> 00:07:40,910
Speaker 1: make sure you put enough gel in there. My mom

126
00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:44,310
Speaker 1: went to Walmart and got me a six-pack of hair.

127
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:47,300
Speaker 1: I remember LA Looks, I think was the name of

128
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,180
Speaker 1: the brand. Y'all remember LA Looks? I don't know if

129
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,310
Speaker 1: they still make it or not, but I remember putting

130
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,830
Speaker 1: that LA Looks in my hair every day. Stand it

131
00:07:54,870 --> 00:07:56,990
Speaker 1: up straight, and it'll want to fall down, but you

132
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:59,790
Speaker 1: have to train it. Tell your neighbor, you have to

133
00:07:59,850 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: train it. I train my hair. I'm having a harder

134
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: time with my heart. I have moments with God where

135
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: I feel like he's big and mighty and what a

136
00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:15,110
Speaker 1: powerful name it is and What a beautiful name it is.

137
00:08:16,030 --> 00:08:18,690
Speaker 1: By your Spirit I will rise from the ashes of defeat.

138
00:08:18,730 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: No sooner do I get it rising from the ashes

139
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,250
Speaker 1: of defeat than it goes back down flat. See, I

140
00:08:25,290 --> 00:08:27,270
Speaker 1: wonder if that ever happened to you like it happens

141
00:08:27,310 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: to me. Talk to me. Sometimes I get my faith

142
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,220
Speaker 1: up real high. I get my hopes up real high.

143
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,260
Speaker 1: I get my inspiration up real high.

144
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,700
Speaker 2: I get a vision. I get a picture.

145
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: I get decided and determined and committed to live for Christ.

146
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,140
Speaker 1: I get it up high, and five minutes later it

147
00:08:43,179 --> 00:08:47,690
Speaker 1: wants to go down flat. I need to know how

148
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:50,429
Speaker 1: to train this heart of mine. I've trained a lot

149
00:08:50,450 --> 00:08:53,050
Speaker 1: of things since I was eight years old. I've trained

150
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:58,500
Speaker 1: a dog. Holly trained the dog. We trained a dog.

151
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: I've trained certain parts of my body. Yeah. Trained my biceps.

152
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,620
Speaker 2: They grew.

153
00:09:06,250 --> 00:09:10,030
Speaker 1: Trained my dog. He sat. Trained my hair.

154
00:09:10,490 --> 00:09:11,130
Speaker 2: It stayed.

155
00:09:12,590 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Trained my heart. If anybody had training, it was David.

156
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:27,670
Speaker 1: Psalm 56 was written by David. Everybody say David. Are

157
00:09:27,710 --> 00:09:30,130
Speaker 1: you as surprised as I am to hear David in

158
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:32,730
Speaker 1: verse 3 say, when I am afraid?

159
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:38,450
Speaker 2: I'm used to David being a lot of things. Ambitious, yeah.

160
00:09:39,510 --> 00:09:40,890
Speaker 1: Annoyed, yeah.

161
00:09:41,870 --> 00:09:43,709
Speaker 2: Aggravated from time to time.

162
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:49,059
Speaker 1: Even in some seasons of his life, apathetic when he

163
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:54,589
Speaker 1: got older. but you never really see David afraid. All

164
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:58,210
Speaker 1: of the armies of Israel were. They let Goliath defy

165
00:09:58,250 --> 00:10:02,850
Speaker 1: them for 40 days, not David. David said, I'm not afraid.

166
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:07,990
Speaker 1: But here he is, still a young man, in Psalm 56,

167
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:10,610
Speaker 1: and he said, When I am afraid, I put my

168
00:10:10,670 --> 00:10:11,309
Speaker 1: trust in you.

169
00:10:11,370 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: Put that one verse, verse 3, on the screen. I

170
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:13,780
Speaker 2: want us to look at.

171
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,330
Speaker 1: That together today. Because here's why I need to train

172
00:10:17,370 --> 00:10:19,819
Speaker 1: my heart. You see that sentence? When I am afraid,

173
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:21,740
Speaker 1: this is the verse that I want you to get today.

174
00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to share a few, and yet this is

175
00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: the one that I want us to work with. When

176
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:30,380
Speaker 1: I am afraid, I put my trust in you. And

177
00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:33,220
Speaker 1: I reckon the reason that that spoke to me when

178
00:10:33,260 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: I was in Tulsa, and it just jumped out at

179
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:39,260
Speaker 1: me when I was in Tulsa, is because I realized

180
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: that my version of verse 3 would look very different

181
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:48,339
Speaker 1: than David's. Not because I'm not afraid, but put the

182
00:10:48,380 --> 00:10:50,420
Speaker 1: verse back up and just hold it there for a minute.

183
00:10:51,220 --> 00:10:56,329
Speaker 2: When I am afraid, I … What would you put there?

184
00:10:56,350 --> 00:10:58,949
Speaker 1: That's what I want to talk about today.

185
00:11:00,250 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: Training your heart to trust.

186
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: When you get it high and you get your faith

187
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,980
Speaker 1: up and you start lifting your eyes to the hills

188
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,830
Speaker 1: where your help comes from.

189
00:11:13,170 --> 00:11:17,590
Speaker 2: But here come the enemies and hell breaks loose. When

190
00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 2: I am afraid, I.

191
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:24,620
Speaker 1: And how you finish that sentence determines whether you ever

192
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: get to verse four. So I'll do a confession and

193
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,130
Speaker 1: I'll go and then you can go. When I am afraid,

194
00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:42,620
Speaker 1: I eat large quantities of food. I have a wife

195
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,339
Speaker 1: who says, I'm so nervous I can't eat. I say,

196
00:11:45,540 --> 00:11:49,940
Speaker 1: I'm so nervous I can't stop eating. Just because the

197
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:53,020
Speaker 1: foods I'm eating are low-carb does not mean I eat

198
00:11:53,059 --> 00:11:56,870
Speaker 1: them in low quantities. I found out it doesn't matter

199
00:11:56,929 --> 00:11:59,650
Speaker 1: how few carbs the cookies have if you eat seven

200
00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:03,689
Speaker 1: of them. They're big cookies too, big old cookies that

201
00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:07,410
Speaker 1: some people use for a meal replacement. Real meal replacement?

202
00:12:07,429 --> 00:12:10,650
Speaker 2: That's just a meal enhancement. For me, when I'm afraid,

203
00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:11,490
Speaker 2: I eat.

204
00:12:11,510 --> 00:12:17,309
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get a little heavier now. When I

205
00:12:17,390 --> 00:12:26,239
Speaker 1: am afraid, I withdraw. I know we need community. I

206
00:12:26,929 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: know my hair needs to be up here, but sometimes

207
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: it starts to fall, and I don't want anybody to

208
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:36,940
Speaker 1: see me in my messy state. Isn't it crazy how

209
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: the times when you're most tempted to skip church are

210
00:12:40,540 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: the times when you need to be here the most?

211
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: When I'm afraid that you're going to see me in

212
00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:50,580
Speaker 1: a low state, when I'm afraid that I'm not going

213
00:12:50,620 --> 00:12:52,500
Speaker 1: to have what it takes to show up and deliver

214
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,730
Speaker 1: on the level that you expect I withdraw … When

215
00:12:55,780 --> 00:12:59,390
Speaker 1: I am afraid, when I am afraid, I'm ashamed to

216
00:12:59,450 --> 00:13:04,190
Speaker 1: say it, but I often translate my fear into anger

217
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:08,550
Speaker 1: because I'm more comfortable being angry than I am being afraid.

218
00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:13,830
Speaker 1: And I don't know what to do to convert my

219
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:18,870
Speaker 1: fear to faith. I haven't trained it. So I would

220
00:13:18,929 --> 00:13:24,730
Speaker 1: rather be angry at you than admit that I'm afraid.

221
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,460
Speaker 2: How about you?

222
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:30,260
Speaker 1: You're just going to look at me for the whole

223
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: entire sermon? You're like, yeah, isn't that how it works?

224
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,300
Speaker 1: Don't you talk and we listen? All right, just silently

225
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,790
Speaker 1: to yourself, just cover your mouth real quick and say,

226
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,980
Speaker 1: when I am afraid, I … Just say it, but

227
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,339
Speaker 1: nobody is going to read your lips. When I am afraid,

228
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,420
Speaker 1: I isolate. When I am afraid, I shop too much.

229
00:13:49,710 --> 00:13:52,610
Speaker 1: When I am afraid, I make up stories. When I

230
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,310
Speaker 1: am afraid, I start doing all this weird math in

231
00:13:56,330 --> 00:13:58,910
Speaker 1: my head about all these things that haven't even happened yet.

232
00:13:58,950 --> 00:14:02,310
Speaker 1: I start calculating for eventualities that may not even happen.

233
00:14:02,530 --> 00:14:05,330
Speaker 1: Like our good friend Joyce Meyer says, I start making

234
00:14:05,370 --> 00:14:08,550
Speaker 1: down payments on problems I may never even have when

235
00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:13,730
Speaker 1: I'm afraid. When I'm afraid, David said, I put my

236
00:14:13,790 --> 00:14:18,130
Speaker 1: trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, verse 4,

237
00:14:18,130 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: in God I trust and am not afraid. Which one

238
00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: is it?

239
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:26,610
Speaker 2: Am I or am not I afraid?

240
00:14:27,370 --> 00:14:31,050
Speaker 1: It depends on what you do with verse 3.

241
00:14:31,050 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: What's going to be your verse 3 this week?

242
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,100
Speaker 1: I'm going to scan the room right now and ask,

243
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:40,270
Speaker 1: have any of you had a very worried week leading up.

244
00:14:40,350 --> 00:14:41,070
Speaker 2: To this Sunday?

245
00:14:41,390 --> 00:14:44,310
Speaker 1: You have been worrying this week, and I don't mean

246
00:14:44,530 --> 00:14:49,530
Speaker 1: you were worrying about who to start on your fantasy, pretend, make-believe,

247
00:14:49,810 --> 00:14:52,890
Speaker 1: grown men with still little toy soldiers called football players,

248
00:14:52,950 --> 00:14:57,220
Speaker 1: fantasy football team. I mean real worry this week. Come

249
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,660
Speaker 1: on and wave at me real quick. We are going

250
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: to get to the root of this in the moments

251
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,700
Speaker 1: that we have. Then what we don't get to, Holly

252
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: is going to cover on highlights on the Elevation Church

253
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,730
Speaker 1: YouTube this Monday at noon live. Whatever I don't get

254
00:15:13,770 --> 00:15:17,290
Speaker 1: to up here, she'll get to in the highlights. How

255
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:22,530
Speaker 1: you finish this sentence, when I am afraid, I. When

256
00:15:22,750 --> 00:15:26,430
Speaker 1: I am stressed, I. When I am worried, I.

257
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:27,260
Speaker 2: Can I use another word?

258
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:31,620
Speaker 1: When I am trapped, I. That's what David is talking

259
00:15:31,650 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: about here.

260
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,010
Speaker 2: I'm trapped.

261
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm trapped because I've defeated Goliath, but just because I

262
00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:44,979
Speaker 1: defeated Goliath doesn't mean I graduated in faith. You never

263
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: graduate from having to trust God. You have to train

264
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:52,820
Speaker 1: it every day. You can put your faith in Christ

265
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:55,900
Speaker 1: for salvation but still not put your trust in.

266
00:15:55,860 --> 00:15:58,859
Speaker 2: God for a situation. I'll say it again.

267
00:15:59,690 --> 00:16:03,310
Speaker 1: You can put your faith in Christ for salvation and

268
00:16:03,370 --> 00:16:06,250
Speaker 1: then not put your trust in God for a situation.

269
00:16:06,770 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: How crazy is this? You can trust that his blood

270
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,700
Speaker 1: was enough to keep you out of hell. You can

271
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: trust that his cross was enough that all your shame

272
00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:19,739
Speaker 1: is nailed to it. You can trust him that he

273
00:16:19,820 --> 00:16:23,970
Speaker 1: breathed out, and you breathed in. and the Spirit of

274
00:16:24,030 --> 00:16:26,730
Speaker 1: him who raised Christ. You can trust him that he

275
00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:28,970
Speaker 1: rolled a stone, but you can't trust him that he

276
00:16:28,990 --> 00:16:32,870
Speaker 1: can hold your burden. You never graduate from the need

277
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:34,290
Speaker 1: to trust.

278
00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:35,750
Speaker 3: God.

279
00:16:35,890 --> 00:16:39,430
Speaker 4: You have to train that every day. You have to

280
00:16:39,530 --> 00:16:42,500
Speaker 4: stand it up every day. You have to stand it

281
00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:45,140
Speaker 4: up when it falls down every day. I'm talking about

282
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:52,750
Speaker 4: training your heart to trust God. David said, I'm I'm trapped.

283
00:16:53,890 --> 00:16:54,710
Speaker 2: All day long.

284
00:16:54,770 --> 00:16:58,250
Speaker 1: Did you notice that? He said, all day long they

285
00:16:58,290 --> 00:16:59,170
Speaker 1: pressed their attack.

286
00:16:59,790 --> 00:17:00,740
Speaker 2: All day long.

287
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: He says, there are not only an adversary, there are adversaries.

288
00:17:06,540 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: There's not only an enemy, there are enemies. Sometimes mine

289
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:20,050
Speaker 1: is in me. How do I train that? I could

290
00:17:20,070 --> 00:17:22,609
Speaker 1: probably learn some jujitsu and choke you out if I

291
00:17:22,650 --> 00:17:25,409
Speaker 1: did it long enough. I could train for that. But

292
00:17:25,450 --> 00:17:31,370
Speaker 1: how am I going to choke me out? He said,

293
00:17:31,410 --> 00:17:33,290
Speaker 1: when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Now,

294
00:17:33,369 --> 00:17:35,830
Speaker 1: I put in my notes like 15 times, don't preach it.

295
00:17:35,869 --> 00:17:39,370
Speaker 1: Just talk to them. So let's talk. I might preach

296
00:17:39,390 --> 00:17:42,420
Speaker 1: it a little bit, but not too much. This is

297
00:17:42,430 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: about as loud as I'm going to get. In God

298
00:17:45,740 --> 00:17:48,540
Speaker 1: whose word I praise, in God I trust, and am

299
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:54,350
Speaker 1: not afraid. You know how this Psalm that we read

300
00:17:55,570 --> 00:17:57,190
Speaker 1: has a little heading? I don't know if you brought

301
00:17:57,210 --> 00:18:00,369
Speaker 1: your Bible to church, but I was texting around to

302
00:18:00,390 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: a few people. I texted Brooke. I texted another friend

303
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,419
Speaker 1: of mine who leads worship. I said, hey, yo, I

304
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: saw something at the top of Psalm 56. I wonder,

305
00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: do you know what it means? And it has this

306
00:18:14,619 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: heading where before it gets to the Psalm that David wrote,

307
00:18:19,450 --> 00:18:21,930
Speaker 1: It tells us a little bit about the Psalm, which

308
00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:24,649
Speaker 1: is helpful. He says in the heading, and I have

309
00:18:24,670 --> 00:18:27,149
Speaker 1: it on the screen for you, for the director of music,

310
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:30,310
Speaker 1: to the tune of a dove on distant oaks.

311
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:35,510
Speaker 2: That sounds nice. A dove on distant oaks. It's the

312
00:18:35,530 --> 00:18:36,310
Speaker 2: Psalm of David.

313
00:18:38,130 --> 00:18:44,010
Speaker 1: It's a miktam when the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

314
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:49,340
Speaker 1: So he's trapped in Gath. You know anything about Gath?

315
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: What do you know about Gath? Let's find out about Gath.

316
00:18:54,160 --> 00:19:01,910
Speaker 1: Go to 1 Samuel chapter 21, because David is trapped

317
00:19:03,050 --> 00:19:03,530
Speaker 1: in Gath.

318
00:19:04,490 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: And trapped is my least favorite thing to be. Trapped.

319
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: See, I know the truth, but when I get trapped,

320
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: I have a hard time finding him. You know how

321
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,379
Speaker 1: those exit doors right there, you know where they are,

322
00:19:24,859 --> 00:19:26,300
Speaker 1: but if all of a sudden you believed you were

323
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: trapped in this room, you would forget everything about protocol

324
00:19:30,220 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: that you knew and getting dismissed because there's something about

325
00:19:34,770 --> 00:19:36,710
Speaker 1: when I feel trapped.

326
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:38,970
Speaker 2: David is trapped.

327
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:43,190
Speaker 1: He killed the lion, he killed the bear, he killed Goliath,

328
00:19:43,490 --> 00:19:47,650
Speaker 1: and he has killed at least thousands, if not tens

329
00:19:47,690 --> 00:19:52,470
Speaker 1: of thousands, of Philistines. The first one was Goliath, but

330
00:19:52,490 --> 00:19:55,820
Speaker 1: there were more Philistines after that. One of them was

331
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: trying to marry Saul, the king's daughter. The king said,

332
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:02,220
Speaker 1: All right, you can have my daughter if you bring

333
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:07,940
Speaker 1: me 200 Philistine foreskins. As a matter of fact, that's

334
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,020
Speaker 1: what I'm going to tell the man who wants to

335
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:17,389
Speaker 1: marry Abby one day. Let's go to 1 Samuel 21.

336
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:23,020
Speaker 1: Somebody shout, trapped. Trapped because he's anointed to be king,

337
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: but he's afraid too.

338
00:20:26,340 --> 00:20:27,740
Speaker 2: You can be anointed and afraid.

339
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: You can feel anointed for great things, but trapped in

340
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,140
Speaker 1: great fear. Did you know that? You can be anointed

341
00:20:36,180 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: for greater days, but trapped in a dark place.

342
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:41,459
Speaker 2: You can feel trapped.

343
00:20:42,609 --> 00:20:44,950
Speaker 1: In David's case, he was trapped not by his sin,

344
00:20:44,990 --> 00:20:47,850
Speaker 1: but he was trapped by Saul, the king that should

345
00:20:47,890 --> 00:20:52,850
Speaker 1: have been training him. He should have been training him.

346
00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:56,100
Speaker 1: Saul was the first king of Israel. David was going

347
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: to be the second king. Samuel said so. He said,

348
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:00,380
Speaker 1: rise and anoint him.

349
00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: He's the one. David was the one.

350
00:21:02,859 --> 00:21:05,659
Speaker 1: He was the one who walked out there and killed Goliath.

351
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,420
Speaker 1: He was the one who went and got those foreskins.

352
00:21:09,609 --> 00:21:11,250
Speaker 1: I won't make you touch your neighbor and say anything

353
00:21:11,310 --> 00:21:17,909
Speaker 1: about that. He kept on doing battle, but watch this.

354
00:21:18,869 --> 00:21:24,660
Speaker 1: The more he was winning, the weaker Saul was becoming. So,

355
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: it made Saul jealous. It made Saul threatened. It made

356
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: Saul angry. It made Saul paranoid. It made Saul crazy.

357
00:21:33,220 --> 00:21:36,710
Speaker 1: Saul started doing abnormal behaviors, unusual behaviors.

358
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:38,090
Speaker 2: Let me see. Put up for a vote. How many

359
00:21:38,109 --> 00:21:39,250
Speaker 2: of you think this is unusual behavior?

360
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,690
Speaker 1: He took a spear and threw it at David while

361
00:21:42,730 --> 00:21:45,390
Speaker 1: David was playing music on the harp. David was trained

362
00:21:45,450 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: as a harpist. David was trained as a shepherd. He

363
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:52,780
Speaker 1: wasn't trained as a spear dodger. I don't think they

364
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: put that into class.

365
00:21:53,619 --> 00:21:55,980
Speaker 2: I didn't take a class for this. You ever feel

366
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,820
Speaker 2: like that in life? Like, man, they didn't give me

367
00:21:57,859 --> 00:21:58,620
Speaker 2: a class for this.

368
00:21:59,730 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: All that school I went to, and they didn't show

369
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: me anything about this. They taught me how to train

370
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: my hair. Teach me how to train my heart, because

371
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,790
Speaker 1: I'm dodging stuff. It's scary out here, and it's weird

372
00:22:12,890 --> 00:22:15,510
Speaker 1: out here. I know God has called me, and I'm

373
00:22:15,550 --> 00:22:19,230
Speaker 1: on my way to something, but there's an enemy. I

374
00:22:19,230 --> 00:22:23,170
Speaker 1: have an enemy. I have an enemy, and it should

375
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:26,190
Speaker 1: be somebody who's training me. Why is the one who

376
00:22:26,230 --> 00:22:28,990
Speaker 1: should be training me trying to kill me? Why am

377
00:22:29,050 --> 00:22:32,750
Speaker 1: I having to fight this on the inside? He has

378
00:22:32,770 --> 00:22:36,050
Speaker 1: to run and run and run, and he doesn't have

379
00:22:36,090 --> 00:22:38,909
Speaker 1: a weapon because he wasn't prepared to run, so he

380
00:22:38,970 --> 00:22:40,090
Speaker 1: stops by the temple.

381
00:22:40,109 --> 00:22:42,590
Speaker 2: This is really a great story. It's kind of the

382
00:22:42,690 --> 00:22:44,230
Speaker 2: sequel to Goliath.

383
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:47,189
Speaker 1: In 1 Samuel 21. The Bible says he went to

384
00:22:47,230 --> 00:22:49,710
Speaker 1: the priest, and he said, Hey, man, I need some bread.

385
00:22:50,030 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: He said, I have some special bread. You're not supposed

386
00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: to eat it, but if you've kept yourself from women, I'll.

387
00:22:54,490 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: Give it to you. David said, Give it to me.

388
00:22:56,660 --> 00:22:57,300
Speaker 2: I have my bread.

389
00:22:57,340 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: He said, Now I need a weapon. He said, well,

390
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: we don't have regular weapons. Look at what David said

391
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,540
Speaker 1: in 1 Samuel 21, verse 8. David asked Ahimelech, don't

392
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:08,180
Speaker 1: you have a spear or a sword here? I haven't

393
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,209
Speaker 1: brought my sword or any other weapon because the king's

394
00:23:11,330 --> 00:23:16,550
Speaker 1: mission was urgent. The priest replied, the sword of Goliath,

395
00:23:16,810 --> 00:23:20,590
Speaker 1: the enemy you defeated before, the one that had a

396
00:23:20,670 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: sword that he was going to kill you with on

397
00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:25,619
Speaker 1: the day that you didn't even have a sword in

398
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,010
Speaker 1: your hand, but just a sling and a stone. That

399
00:23:29,130 --> 00:23:32,090
Speaker 1: sword that you took and cut off his head with,

400
00:23:32,770 --> 00:23:36,060
Speaker 1: the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in

401
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: the Valley of Elah is here. It is wrapped in

402
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,340
Speaker 1: a cloth behind the ephod. If you want to take it,

403
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,580
Speaker 1: there's no sword here but that one. And David said,

404
00:23:44,660 --> 00:23:48,860
Speaker 1: I like that one. Tell somebody, I like that one.

405
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,770
Speaker 1: I like the one that reminds me of the victory

406
00:23:52,810 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: God gave me.

407
00:23:53,570 --> 00:23:54,389
Speaker 2: I like that one.

408
00:23:55,530 --> 00:23:55,889
Speaker 1: Come on.

409
00:23:56,150 --> 00:23:57,790
Speaker 2: How many of you are here with your wife today?

410
00:23:57,830 --> 00:24:00,489
Speaker 1: Look at her and say, I like that one, the

411
00:24:00,570 --> 00:24:02,810
Speaker 1: one God gave me that I didn't deserve. I like

412
00:24:02,869 --> 00:24:05,230
Speaker 1: that one, that woman I'm here with today that stood

413
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:08,170
Speaker 1: by my side. I like that one. How many of

414
00:24:08,230 --> 00:24:10,260
Speaker 1: you are here today, and you struggled to get pregnant,

415
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:12,460
Speaker 1: but God gave you a kid, and it took some time,

416
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: and it took some prayer? Say, I like that one. Now,

417
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: sometimes I want to knock them clear across the room

418
00:24:17,859 --> 00:24:20,060
Speaker 1: now that they're 13, but I like that one.

419
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: It was a battle, but I like that one. Give

420
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: it to me. Now, here's what I want to get to.

421
00:24:25,230 --> 00:24:29,660
Speaker 1: That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish,

422
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: king of Gath. This guy probably reigned as king for

423
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:39,140
Speaker 1: like 40 years. King of Gath? Isn't that Goliath's hometown?

424
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:44,220
Speaker 2: Goliath the Philistine from Gath? And watch this.

425
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,859
Speaker 1: He's in Gath because Saul's trying to kill him and

426
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:53,340
Speaker 1: God has crowned him. He's in Gath and he's trapped.

427
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,739
Speaker 1: And he's got the sword of Goliath, the Philistine, who

428
00:24:56,780 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: he killed.

429
00:24:59,020 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: But he's afraid.

430
00:24:59,740 --> 00:25:02,939
Speaker 1: Now, the servants of Achish said to him, isn't this David,

431
00:25:03,660 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: the king of the land?

432
00:25:07,369 --> 00:25:10,710
Speaker 2: He wasn't yet. Then how did they know?

433
00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:14,490
Speaker 1: You ever wonder if your enemy knows more about you

434
00:25:14,530 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: than you do? You ever wonder if some of the

435
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:24,060
Speaker 1: attack that you're under is because some of the anointing

436
00:25:25,780 --> 00:25:30,940
Speaker 1: you have? It's so good. I'm just trying to decide

437
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: what not to preach. That is my hardest battle up here.

438
00:25:34,980 --> 00:25:36,940
Speaker 1: I don't get up and be like, What should I preach?

439
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,330
Speaker 1: I'm just like, God, what should I not? Because every

440
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,790
Speaker 1: word of this would preach. Your Enemy has heard of you.

441
00:25:44,090 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: The Devil is terrified about the blood-bought child of God

442
00:25:49,340 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: who has been forgiven. As a matter of fact, the

443
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,180
Speaker 1: moment you gave your life to Christ and put your

444
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: faith in him, the devil started waging a campaign. But

445
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,740
Speaker 1: God has been training you for this. This is not

446
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: off guard for God. God has been training you for this.

447
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: Touch three.

448
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,260
Speaker 1: People say, he's training me. He's training me. He's training

449
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: me to trust him. He's training me to trust him.

450
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: That's why I could kill Goliath, because there was a

451
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,980
Speaker 1: lion that tried to snatch the sheep, and I killed

452
00:26:21,020 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: the lion, but I didn't know that the lion was

453
00:26:23,770 --> 00:26:28,369
Speaker 1: preparing me for Goliath. God was training me. Now the

454
00:26:28,450 --> 00:26:30,869
Speaker 1: one who was trained and called to be a king

455
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:34,270
Speaker 1: is trapped in a place called Gath, where his enemies

456
00:26:34,690 --> 00:26:37,490
Speaker 1: come from. These are the same people he has been killing.

457
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: Now he has to live with them. That's the context

458
00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:47,500
Speaker 1: of that nice little verse. When I am afraid, I

459
00:26:47,540 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: put my trust in you. Broaden the context so we

460
00:26:52,420 --> 00:26:55,940
Speaker 1: don't just think about that bumper sticker Bible verse, that

461
00:26:56,010 --> 00:26:56,980
Speaker 1: bumper sticker believer.

462
00:26:57,030 --> 00:27:00,270
Speaker 2: When I'm afraid, I put my trust in you. When

463
00:27:00,310 --> 00:27:02,690
Speaker 2: I have an itch, I scratch it. When I see

464
00:27:02,730 --> 00:27:05,379
Speaker 2: a green light, I gun it.

465
00:27:06,070 --> 00:27:08,909
Speaker 1: When I see a red light, I stop. When I

466
00:27:08,930 --> 00:27:11,230
Speaker 1: see an orange light, I look both ways to see

467
00:27:11,290 --> 00:27:12,540
Speaker 1: if there's a police officer.

468
00:27:13,390 --> 00:27:15,900
Speaker 2: When I feel afraid, I trust in God. I just

469
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,060
Speaker 2: do it like that. That's what I do. When I

470
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: feel afraid, I don't know if you feel afraid.

471
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,260
Speaker 1: I trust. If it's that easy for you, you haven't

472
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: been trapped yet. You haven't been trapped yet. You haven't

473
00:27:29,260 --> 00:27:32,859
Speaker 1: been trapped between Romans 8, the good I want to do,

474
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: and the evil that is still there with me, O

475
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: wretched man that I am, who can deliver me from

476
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,780
Speaker 1: this body of death. See, because I'm raised up with Christ,

477
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: but I don't know how to train my trust, because

478
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,500
Speaker 1: I believe that he saved me, but I need him

479
00:27:48,540 --> 00:27:56,780
Speaker 1: to sustain me, and I'm trapped. Oh, no.

480
00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:00,350
Speaker 2: They start singing. Can you believe it?

481
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: David is in Gath because he doesn't know where else

482
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,260
Speaker 1: to go. I'm in Gath because I don't know where

483
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: else to go. Gath is not like Jonah in the

484
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,220
Speaker 1: belly of the whale. He's running from God. Gath is

485
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: because I don't know where else to go.

486
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,469
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about, I don't

487
00:28:14,490 --> 00:28:15,649
Speaker 2: know where else to go. I don't know what to do.

488
00:28:15,890 --> 00:28:19,230
Speaker 1: When I am afraid, I put my trust in you,

489
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:22,490
Speaker 1: in God, whose word I praise. In God I trust,

490
00:28:23,410 --> 00:28:24,290
Speaker 1: and I'm not afraid.

491
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: He's not lying.

492
00:28:27,420 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: He's not denying He's just moving through it. Spirit of

493
00:28:33,260 --> 00:28:36,540
Speaker 1: the Lord says you can move through it. No matter

494
00:28:36,580 --> 00:28:38,459
Speaker 1: how this season of fear is crippling you, you can

495
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,530
Speaker 1: move through it. No matter how the waves of anxiety

496
00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:42,750
Speaker 1: crash and try to drown.

497
00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:45,270
Speaker 2: Your boat, you can move through it. You've got to

498
00:28:45,310 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: move through it.

499
00:28:46,690 --> 00:28:49,770
Speaker 1: If you don't move through it, your assignment goes unfulfilled.

500
00:28:50,050 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: You can move through it.

501
00:28:51,970 --> 00:28:53,969
Speaker 1: If you don't move through it, what was meant to

502
00:28:54,010 --> 00:28:56,430
Speaker 1: be created will die on the vine.

503
00:28:56,490 --> 00:28:57,410
Speaker 2: You can move through it.

504
00:28:58,490 --> 00:29:00,580
Speaker 1: If you don't move through it, your kids will see

505
00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: an example of a mom who wouldn't or a dad

506
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,300
Speaker 1: who wouldn't, so.

507
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,660
Speaker 2: They'll think they're a kid who can't.

508
00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:08,380
Speaker 1: But if you move through it, I declare in the

509
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: name of Jesus, if it takes you 10 times, if

510
00:29:11,740 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: it takes you 20 times, I'm telling you I have

511
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,180
Speaker 1: to trust God all day long.

512
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:19,890
Speaker 2: Somebody say it.

513
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: All day long. That's what the Psalm said. He said,'

514
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,370
Speaker 1: My enemies are attacking me.' all day long. So, if

515
00:29:29,380 --> 00:29:33,830
Speaker 1: they're attacking me all day long, I have to trust

516
00:29:33,910 --> 00:29:38,370
Speaker 1: God all day long. Have you ever had a day

517
00:29:38,410 --> 00:29:40,510
Speaker 1: where it was trust just to throw the the covers

518
00:29:40,610 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: off and get up out of bed? Come on, you

519
00:29:43,620 --> 00:29:46,300
Speaker 1: might have hit the snooze button four, five, or six times,

520
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,660
Speaker 1: but it was trusting God. When I am afraid, I

521
00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:52,620
Speaker 1: get out of bed. When I am afraid, I walk

522
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:55,740
Speaker 1: across the room. When I am afraid, I brush my teeth.

523
00:29:56,060 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: When I am afraid, I get in the car and

524
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:00,860
Speaker 1: start the engine. When I am afraid, I show up

525
00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: at Elevation Church on a Sunday morning, because I'm declaring

526
00:30:04,660 --> 00:30:07,530
Speaker 1: to the Devil that I can move through this, because

527
00:30:07,610 --> 00:30:10,570
Speaker 1: greater is he … Don't preach. Just talk.

528
00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:11,990
Speaker 5: But I have to tell.

529
00:30:11,770 --> 00:30:15,350
Speaker 1: Somebody … Greater is he who lives in me than

530
00:30:15,430 --> 00:30:22,490
Speaker 1: he who is in the world. It means I have

531
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,580
Speaker 1: to breathe through it. Do you know there have been

532
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,219
Speaker 1: times where I did not feel I could breathe before

533
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: I preached? but I breathed through it somehow. I stood

534
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: up to preach, and God in his grace, not me

535
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: and my strength, God in his sovereignty, not me and

536
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: my strategy, God in his wisdom, not me and my

537
00:30:42,460 --> 00:30:48,670
Speaker 1: human will, God sustained me. Sit down.

538
00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:49,530
Speaker 2: I'm nowhere near done.

539
00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:51,650
Speaker 1: Y'all don't think y'all can rush me to close by

540
00:30:51,690 --> 00:30:54,510
Speaker 1: being excited, do you? Come on. I'm trained in this.

541
00:30:54,970 --> 00:30:58,130
Speaker 1: Tell somebody, I'm trained in this. I'm trained in this.

542
00:30:58,650 --> 00:30:59,790
Speaker 1: I'm trained in this.

543
00:30:59,850 --> 00:31:03,990
Speaker 2: David, was trained all day long. You like that?

544
00:31:04,860 --> 00:31:07,670
Speaker 1: You're still stuck on all day long. That means no

545
00:31:07,710 --> 00:31:10,540
Speaker 1: matter what kind of day I had, when my head

546
00:31:10,580 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: hits the pillow, I'm going to say, Thank you, Lord.

547
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: Every landing you walk away from is a good one.

548
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: It was a good day. I can say it was

549
00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: a good day. Caffeine crashed at 3 p.m. I have

550
00:31:26,340 --> 00:31:28,900
Speaker 1: to trust him, because now my caffeine can't kick in.

551
00:31:30,220 --> 00:31:31,100
Speaker 2: I have to trust him.

552
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,100
Speaker 1: But what I really would like to show you today

553
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: that I was so excited about, that I think is

554
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: a principle that's powerful enough to change your life, is

555
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,900
Speaker 1: that if you have been worrying about something lately, you're

556
00:31:46,940 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: halfway to praying.

557
00:31:53,910 --> 00:31:54,190
Speaker 2: Okay.

558
00:31:55,550 --> 00:31:57,590
Speaker 1: All right. I'll show you what happened, then I'll show

559
00:31:57,610 --> 00:31:58,930
Speaker 1: you what he said, and then I'll tell you what

560
00:31:58,970 --> 00:32:00,630
Speaker 1: to do, and then I won't tell you where to

561
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:01,190
Speaker 1: go eat lunch.

562
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:05,700
Speaker 2: Figure that part out for yourself. David's got the sword

563
00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 2: of Goliath.

564
00:32:06,540 --> 00:32:08,740
Speaker 1: He's afraid of the king of God, and I'm going

565
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: to show you why. The servants, watch this, the servants

566
00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: of Achish said to him, isn't this David, the king

567
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: of the land? Isn't he the one they sing about

568
00:32:17,540 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: in their dances? Because when he killed Goliath, this is

569
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: what set Saul on his little revenge mission to begin with.

570
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: David killed Goliath, and the women came home. They sang

571
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,540
Speaker 1: this song. They start singing this song. Saul has slain

572
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,810
Speaker 1: his thousands, and David his tens of thousands. Saul's like,

573
00:32:34,850 --> 00:32:38,610
Speaker 1: tens of thousands? He killed one dude. But see, by

574
00:32:38,670 --> 00:32:41,730
Speaker 1: killing Goliath, he defeated the whole army. It was representative combat.

575
00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:45,410
Speaker 1: So they start singing, Saul has slain his thousands, David

576
00:32:45,490 --> 00:32:49,990
Speaker 1: his tens of thousands. When the ladies sang it, it

577
00:32:50,030 --> 00:32:54,130
Speaker 1: sounded good. But now that his enemies are singing it,

578
00:32:55,310 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: It sounds different, because he realized that the thing that

579
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,860
Speaker 1: made him great was the thing that made them afraid.

580
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,780
Speaker 1: Now he's afraid, and he's great. So he realizes, uh-oh,

581
00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:14,250
Speaker 1: Goliath's sword is not just a weapon for me. It's

582
00:33:14,370 --> 00:33:20,750
Speaker 1: evidence to them. So this is the verse right here,

583
00:33:20,830 --> 00:33:24,090
Speaker 1: verse 12. David took these words to heart.

584
00:33:24,130 --> 00:33:24,690
Speaker 2: David did what?

585
00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:29,930
Speaker 1: Took these words to heart and was very much afraid

586
00:33:30,790 --> 00:33:35,050
Speaker 1: of Achish, king of Gath. You will never see that

587
00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:38,790
Speaker 1: phrase again in 1 and 2 Samuel. David was afraid

588
00:33:39,430 --> 00:33:42,830
Speaker 1: only one time. He was distraught in 1 Samuel 30

589
00:33:42,830 --> 00:33:45,510
Speaker 1: when his men talked of stoning him, but it never

590
00:33:45,570 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: says again, David was afraid. Because when you're trapped and

591
00:33:52,340 --> 00:33:55,540
Speaker 1: you're not trained for this, killed a lion, killed a bear,

592
00:33:55,580 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: killed Goliath, but now it's a fight.

593
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,690
Speaker 2: On the inside. When I am afraid, Psalm 56, I

594
00:34:04,950 --> 00:34:08,250
Speaker 2: put my trust in you.

595
00:34:09,989 --> 00:34:14,049
Speaker 1: So what I said to you a moment ago, if

596
00:34:14,070 --> 00:34:16,110
Speaker 1: you're really worried about something, you're halfway to praying, I

597
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:24,049
Speaker 1: take that from Philippians chapter four, verse six. Thank you, Lord.

598
00:34:24,090 --> 00:34:26,689
Speaker 1: He just gave me this scripture right before I came

599
00:34:26,770 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: out to show you what I'm saying. I think you

600
00:34:30,219 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: know this one. Do not be anxious about anything, but

601
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: every situation, in every situation, in every gath that you

602
00:34:45,260 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: feel trapped in. Name your own gath. I can't do that.

603
00:34:48,739 --> 00:34:53,189
Speaker 1: I don't know what your gath is. You and God do.

604
00:34:54,620 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: So, you're worried about that, right?

605
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:56,900
Speaker 1: Leave it up.

606
00:34:56,980 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: I've got to read the whole verse, y'all.

607
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,870
Speaker 1: By prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God. Now,

608
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to preach that.

609
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 2: I'm just going to show you the last two words.

610
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:05,660
Speaker 2: To God.

611
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:13,130
Speaker 1: To God. Go back, please, to Psalm 56 now, and

612
00:35:13,150 --> 00:35:14,950
Speaker 1: I think you'll see it in a very different light.

613
00:35:16,590 --> 00:35:18,790
Speaker 1: Psalm 56.

614
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:19,980
Speaker 2: Verse 1.

615
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are

616
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,990
Speaker 1: in hot pursuit. All day long they press their attack.

617
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:28,910
Speaker 1: My adversaries pursue me all day long. In their pride,

618
00:35:28,989 --> 00:35:32,149
Speaker 1: many are attacking me. When I am afraid, I put

619
00:35:32,210 --> 00:35:33,190
Speaker 1: my trust in you.

620
00:35:33,989 --> 00:35:35,730
Speaker 2: That means it wasn't there automatically. I had to decide

621
00:35:35,770 --> 00:35:46,820
Speaker 2: to do it. In God … whose word I praise.

622
00:35:47,260 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: Back to 1 Samuel 21, 12.

623
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: Please, just real quick, let me connect it.

624
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: When he heard what his enemies were saying, he took

625
00:35:54,980 --> 00:35:58,710
Speaker 1: it to heart and was very much afraid, because he

626
00:35:58,750 --> 00:35:59,430
Speaker 1: took it to heart.

627
00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:02,989
Speaker 2: When he took it to heart.

628
00:36:04,170 --> 00:36:10,140
Speaker 1: But didn't take it to God, his faith fell flat.

629
00:36:11,980 --> 00:36:15,330
Speaker 1: When he took it to heart, didn't take it to God.

630
00:36:16,969 --> 00:36:21,690
Speaker 1: He was very afraid of a king who represented a

631
00:36:21,710 --> 00:36:25,830
Speaker 1: nation he had been defeating for 18 months. When he

632
00:36:25,870 --> 00:36:28,589
Speaker 1: took it to heart instead of taking it to God

633
00:36:28,650 --> 00:36:31,030
Speaker 1: like this … I sat down on Monday morning …

634
00:36:31,050 --> 00:36:33,339
Speaker 1: This is real. This is current for me. I sat

635
00:36:33,380 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: down on Monday morning just worrying. I decided to have

636
00:36:37,140 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: an entire worry session. Just me. by myself, not a

637
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:48,330
Speaker 1: planning meeting, a planning meeting with myself. The subject was dread, anxiety, fear,

638
00:36:48,610 --> 00:36:51,470
Speaker 1: and terror. Have you ever done this before? Wave at me.

639
00:36:51,550 --> 00:36:55,020
Speaker 1: It's very lonely up here. It is very lonely up here,

640
00:36:55,340 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: so I'm sitting there just worrying. I know what Jesus

641
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,780
Speaker 1: says about worry. Don't. I know what Paul says about worry.

642
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,030
Speaker 1: Don't be anxious, but here I am doing it. Sometimes

643
00:37:09,090 --> 00:37:13,350
Speaker 1: somebody telling you not to makes it even worse. Sometimes

644
00:37:13,510 --> 00:37:16,270
Speaker 1: trying not to worry makes it even worse. So, what

645
00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:18,110
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do with the worry? Tell me

646
00:37:18,130 --> 00:37:19,629
Speaker 1: about it. What am I supposed to do in Gath?

647
00:37:19,810 --> 00:37:21,370
Speaker 1: I can't go home. Saul wants to kill me. I

648
00:37:21,390 --> 00:37:21,890
Speaker 1: can't stay here.

649
00:37:21,930 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 3: They'll kill me.

650
00:37:22,590 --> 00:37:24,070
Speaker 1: Tell me what I'm supposed to do. I'm trapped.

651
00:37:24,110 --> 00:37:25,590
Speaker 2: That's how I felt.

652
00:37:25,610 --> 00:37:28,020
Speaker 1: I felt like the Lord said something to me that

653
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:33,380
Speaker 1: I never heard before. I see you're worried. Would you

654
00:37:33,420 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: like to worry with me? I knew what he meant.

655
00:37:42,620 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: He was saying, you're halfway to praying.

656
00:37:47,940 --> 00:37:50,180
Speaker 2: When you pray, you take what's on.

657
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:55,029
Speaker 1: Your heart, whatever you're burdened about, whatever you're concerned about.

658
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:58,010
Speaker 1: I know there are different types of prayer. There's adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication.

659
00:37:58,050 --> 00:38:00,770
Speaker 1: We'll teach that on highlights on Monday at noon on

660
00:38:00,790 --> 00:38:02,690
Speaker 1: the Elevation Church YouTube channel. Holly will give you a

661
00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:05,250
Speaker 1: crash course in all the ways to pray. But one

662
00:38:05,270 --> 00:38:08,900
Speaker 1: thing that real prayer is is it's honest. So I

663
00:38:08,940 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: have a burden.

664
00:38:09,580 --> 00:38:11,300
Speaker 2: I have a concern.

665
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm trapped. I'm trapped. this relationship. I'm worried about this person.

666
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm worried I haven't heard from them in three weeks.

667
00:38:18,780 --> 00:38:20,450
Speaker 1: I'm worried I don't know what they're going to do

668
00:38:20,469 --> 00:38:23,029
Speaker 1: with my company. I'm worried I'm not sure why this

669
00:38:23,090 --> 00:38:25,390
Speaker 1: money is going this way and that way and all

670
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:29,310
Speaker 1: that way and none this way. I'm worried about this

671
00:38:29,390 --> 00:38:31,270
Speaker 1: thing in my body. What is that on my arm?

672
00:38:31,290 --> 00:38:32,890
Speaker 1: I think my mom had one of these one time,

673
00:38:33,489 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: and it was cancer. I'm worried about this, and I'm

674
00:38:35,950 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: sitting down to worry, and it was like the Lord

675
00:38:38,219 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: graciously said to me, Would you like to worry with me?

676
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,460
Speaker 1: Because if you read Psalm 56, it sounds like David

677
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:56,890
Speaker 1: is worrying. He said,' My enemies are in hot pursuit.

678
00:38:58,130 --> 00:39:02,830
Speaker 1: All day long they press their attack. My adversaries pursue

679
00:39:02,870 --> 00:39:05,550
Speaker 1: me all day long.' Oh, come on, David.

680
00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:07,530
Speaker 2: Shut up, buckaroo.

681
00:39:09,350 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: Don't focus on the negative. See the gaff is half full,

682
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:20,930
Speaker 1: not empty. their pride, and many are attacking me. Yet

683
00:39:22,210 --> 00:39:26,530
Speaker 1: there's only one thing that turns this from a worry

684
00:39:27,390 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: to a prayer. He's talking about his enemies. He's talking

685
00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: about the pressure. He's talking about the attack. He's thinking

686
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:39,339
Speaker 1: about the adversaries. He's thinking about the pride of those

687
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: attacking him. He is thinking of all of those things,

688
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: but if you look at verse 1, there is a

689
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,390
Speaker 1: key that can take you from worry to prayer so fast.

690
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:54,850
Speaker 1: He said,' Be merciful to me, my God.' There's so

691
00:39:54,910 --> 00:40:00,529
Speaker 1: much power. Verse 1,' Be merciful to me, My God. So,

692
00:40:00,590 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: prayer is not changing what you're talking about. It's just

693
00:40:04,940 --> 00:40:08,710
Speaker 1: changing who you're talking to about it. Here we go.

694
00:40:08,730 --> 00:40:12,169
Speaker 1: I'm going to help somebody, Lord Jesus. You've just been

695
00:40:12,210 --> 00:40:16,410
Speaker 1: thinking about stuff, ruminating about stuff, working through stuff in

696
00:40:16,430 --> 00:40:19,370
Speaker 1: your mind, but you're not really working through it. You're

697
00:40:19,390 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: just wandering around in it. The next time your heart

698
00:40:24,140 --> 00:40:28,380
Speaker 1: wants to worry, train it to pray, because you're already

699
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: halfway there. He already knows what you need. He already

700
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: knows what you're struggling with. because stuffing it down isn't

701
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,730
Speaker 1: going to do anything but suffocate you. Stuffing it down

702
00:40:40,790 --> 00:40:42,750
Speaker 1: isn't going to do anything but get it to come

703
00:40:42,810 --> 00:40:46,050
Speaker 1: out at the wrong time when you're squeezed, so why

704
00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:51,730
Speaker 1: not talk to God about it? Present your requests to God.

705
00:40:52,350 --> 00:40:57,620
Speaker 1: Somebody say, So I'm still afraid, but I'm just not

706
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: afraid by myself in this fear, because I put my

707
00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: trust in God. I'm talking to God. I talked to

708
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: my friends. They're not even doing as good as me.

709
00:41:10,820 --> 00:41:13,140
Speaker 1: I talked to my friends. They didn't know what to

710
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: tell me either. I talked to people, and people talked

711
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: about me. I might as well pray about this. I

712
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,370
Speaker 1: might as well talk to God. I sat there in

713
00:41:23,410 --> 00:41:26,770
Speaker 1: my chair for an hour, and I haven't prayed like

714
00:41:26,810 --> 00:41:30,630
Speaker 1: that in a long time, because I realized.

715
00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: That worry is a prayer to yourself.

716
00:41:38,300 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: Worry is just me trying to do two jobs. See,

717
00:41:42,820 --> 00:41:46,340
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to make the request. and God is supposed

718
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: to do the response. Come on. But when you worry,

719
00:41:50,530 --> 00:41:53,330
Speaker 1: God said, Would you stop trying to do my job?

720
00:41:53,710 --> 00:41:56,109
Speaker 1: Would you stop trying to hit the ball back to me?

721
00:41:56,530 --> 00:41:58,790
Speaker 1: Would you let me be God in your life?

722
00:42:01,170 --> 00:42:02,540
Speaker 2: When I am afraid ….

723
00:42:04,670 --> 00:42:10,570
Speaker 1: Somebody say, I put my trust in God. Say it again.

724
00:42:10,650 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: I put my trust in God. You hear what they're

725
00:42:16,140 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: doing down there? Yeah, I heard about it. But I

726
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:25,489
Speaker 1: put my trust in God. You feel that? That thing

727
00:42:25,510 --> 00:42:28,350
Speaker 1: that's inside you? You feel that? That depression that's inside you?

728
00:42:28,690 --> 00:42:31,750
Speaker 1: I feel all that. But when I am afraid … See,

729
00:42:31,810 --> 00:42:35,290
Speaker 1: I trained for this. I've been through some seasons. I've

730
00:42:35,390 --> 00:42:44,469
Speaker 1: known the Lord. Not just God. He's my God. I

731
00:42:44,510 --> 00:42:48,350
Speaker 1: have an experience with them. As you begin to pray …

732
00:42:48,590 --> 00:42:50,690
Speaker 1: Come on. Give me something you've been worried about this week.

733
00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:52,100
Speaker 1: Anybody on the front row.

734
00:42:52,110 --> 00:42:53,710
Speaker 2: What have you been worried about this week?

735
00:42:53,730 --> 00:42:55,710
Speaker 1: What have you been worried about? You've been worried about

736
00:42:55,750 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: your health? Well, we're just going to start worrying with

737
00:42:58,460 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: God about your health. Guess what? He's not worried.

738
00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:06,260
Speaker 2: So, the heavy weight you're.

739
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: Lifting, you don't have to lift that by yourself this week.

740
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:14,340
Speaker 1: Because when you Google all the symptoms, you start thinking

741
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,020
Speaker 1: you have to be the source of your healing.

742
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 6: But when you realize, I'm not in this diagnosis by myself.

743
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,339
Speaker 1: I'm not going to this treatment by myself. I'm not

744
00:43:25,390 --> 00:43:28,069
Speaker 1: showing up to this doctor. I'm not figuring this out

745
00:43:28,110 --> 00:43:35,270
Speaker 1: for my baby by myself. I have help, and I

746
00:43:35,310 --> 00:43:40,190
Speaker 1: put my trust in God. When God wants to train

747
00:43:40,210 --> 00:43:43,710
Speaker 1: your trust, he gives you two things, a truth.

748
00:43:46,890 --> 00:43:47,490
Speaker 2: And a trouble.

749
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:52,569
Speaker 1: I'm going to say one thing, and I want y'all

750
00:43:52,590 --> 00:43:55,609
Speaker 1: to meme it and look at it all week. This

751
00:43:55,710 --> 00:44:01,260
Speaker 1: represents the truth. This represents the trouble. Put the truth

752
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:09,990
Speaker 1: on the trouble. Come on. You're trained for this. You've

753
00:44:10,030 --> 00:44:13,350
Speaker 1: got a degree in depending on God. You've got a

754
00:44:13,469 --> 00:44:18,089
Speaker 1: certification in surrendering to God. You're trained for this. You've

755
00:44:18,250 --> 00:44:22,210
Speaker 1: seen God move in your life. Take the truth and

756
00:44:22,270 --> 00:44:24,650
Speaker 1: put it on the trouble. So, if it's in your body,

757
00:44:24,890 --> 00:44:27,380
Speaker 1: we're going to pray about that, because we were already

758
00:44:27,460 --> 00:44:28,300
Speaker 1: praying anyway.

759
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,380
Speaker 2: We were just forgetting something.

760
00:44:31,860 --> 00:44:35,180
Speaker 1: Worry is when you remember that you.

761
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: Have a problem.

762
00:44:37,310 --> 00:44:47,070
Speaker 1: And forget that you have a Father. I can't. I

763
00:44:47,290 --> 00:44:50,780
Speaker 1: need to start closing, but I can't. Did you forget

764
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:54,259
Speaker 1: you have a Father? Did you forget that he's a redeemer?

765
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,660
Speaker 1: Did you forget that he's greater than your sin and

766
00:44:57,700 --> 00:45:01,420
Speaker 1: your shame? Did you forget that he is the resurrection

767
00:45:01,660 --> 00:45:04,290
Speaker 1: and the life? Did you forget that he died for you?

768
00:45:04,570 --> 00:45:06,890
Speaker 1: Did you forget that he hung for you? Did you

769
00:45:06,930 --> 00:45:18,460
Speaker 1: forget that he loves you? Matthew 6.31, Jesus said, Do

770
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:22,630
Speaker 1: not worry, saying, What shall we eat? What shall we drink?

771
00:45:22,690 --> 00:45:25,969
Speaker 1: Or what shall we wear? Man, if Jesus came back

772
00:45:26,130 --> 00:45:29,110
Speaker 1: in 2026, he'd have to add so much to that list.

773
00:45:31,410 --> 00:45:33,650
Speaker 1: We figured out all kinds of ways to worry he

774
00:45:33,690 --> 00:45:37,850
Speaker 1: didn't know about. We figured out not only to worry

775
00:45:37,870 --> 00:45:40,270
Speaker 1: about what we wear. We now go on our phone

776
00:45:40,469 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: and worry about what other people are wearing. and how

777
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 1: we can show them what we're wearing.

778
00:45:49,540 --> 00:45:54,930
Speaker 7: Verse 32 was the heart of it for me, because

779
00:45:54,969 --> 00:45:59,630
Speaker 7: while I was worrying by myself, I remembered my problem

780
00:45:59,710 --> 00:46:01,830
Speaker 7: and forgot I have a Father.

781
00:46:03,310 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: The pagans run after all of these things.

782
00:46:04,739 --> 00:46:09,540
Speaker 2: They don't have a Father, but your heavenly Father knows.

783
00:46:11,850 --> 00:46:19,350
Speaker 1: That you need them, that he knows what I need.

784
00:46:20,270 --> 00:46:22,270
Speaker 2: He knew I would need.

785
00:46:22,190 --> 00:46:25,629
Speaker 6: A sword, so he put it in the ephod so

786
00:46:25,690 --> 00:46:29,250
Speaker 6: I would have it when I went into the battle.

787
00:46:30,250 --> 00:46:33,130
Speaker 6: I wonder when David was running from Saul and trapped

788
00:46:33,190 --> 00:46:36,370
Speaker 6: by Achish, the king of Gad, and he was thinking,

789
00:46:36,430 --> 00:46:36,870
Speaker 6: how am I.

790
00:46:36,950 --> 00:46:38,069
Speaker 2: Ever going to get out of this?

791
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,230
Speaker 1: I wonder if he touched something that made him trust,

792
00:46:44,170 --> 00:46:51,260
Speaker 1: that just like God brought down that giant, God will

793
00:46:51,620 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: get me out of death. I have a God. I

794
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,770
Speaker 1: have a Father. He's my God. He's a healer. He's

795
00:47:01,910 --> 00:47:05,550
Speaker 1: my God. He's a Savior. He's my God.

796
00:47:05,850 --> 00:47:06,890
Speaker 5: He's a deliverer.

797
00:47:07,230 --> 00:47:11,750
Speaker 1: He's my God. He's a firm foundation. He's my God.

798
00:47:12,070 --> 00:47:14,770
Speaker 1: He's a peace sneaker. He's my God.

799
00:47:15,110 --> 00:47:16,230
Speaker 3: He's a way maker.

800
00:47:16,590 --> 00:47:17,690
Speaker 5: He's my God.

801
00:47:18,070 --> 00:47:22,370
Speaker 1: He's a stone roller. He's my God. He's a covenant keeper.

802
00:47:22,770 --> 00:47:26,710
Speaker 1: He's my God. He's a healer. He's a savior.

803
00:47:27,130 --> 00:47:27,870
Speaker 5: He is.

804
00:47:30,410 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: Give him praise. Give him your praise, because when you

805
00:47:37,180 --> 00:47:43,540
Speaker 1: praise him, you're not crazy. You're training. Come on.

806
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 5: Say, Thank you, Jesus.

807
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:48,020
Speaker 1: I'm training. I'm training.

808
00:47:53,950 --> 00:47:54,710
Speaker 2: Hallelujah.

809
00:47:55,730 --> 00:48:01,050
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesus. Training my heart to trust. I'm training

810
00:48:01,090 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: my heart to trust. I can't do that with a comb.

811
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:05,900
Speaker 2: And a gel.

812
00:48:07,510 --> 00:48:11,230
Speaker 1: I have to have a truth, and I have to

813
00:48:11,250 --> 00:48:15,810
Speaker 1: have a trouble so I can take the truth of

814
00:48:15,850 --> 00:48:19,489
Speaker 1: who God is and put it on the trouble of

815
00:48:19,530 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: what I'm going through. Stand. I'm closing. Did God give

816
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,370
Speaker 1: you this trouble to train your trust in him?

817
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:43,020
Speaker 2: When I am afraid, I put my trust in God.

818
00:48:43,500 --> 00:48:47,390
Speaker 2: That means it wasn't there before. I drifted. I get

819
00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:47,950
Speaker 2: off course.

820
00:48:49,130 --> 00:48:52,870
Speaker 1: Trust fluctuates, doesn't it?

821
00:48:54,110 --> 00:48:55,009
Speaker 2: God doesn't, does he?

822
00:48:57,969 --> 00:49:01,510
Speaker 1: He's right here. I'll minister to you for a moment.

823
00:49:02,590 --> 00:49:05,819
Speaker 1: Before we sing this song, I want you to know

824
00:49:05,860 --> 00:49:16,390
Speaker 1: something about Trust is formed in the oven, like that

825
00:49:16,489 --> 00:49:20,950
Speaker 1: baseball glove. We had this baseball glove that we bought

826
00:49:20,989 --> 00:49:24,509
Speaker 1: for Elijah, and the coach said, you have to break

827
00:49:24,550 --> 00:49:28,590
Speaker 1: that in. He said, you need to break it in tonight.

828
00:49:28,610 --> 00:49:30,450
Speaker 2: The glove is too stiff.

829
00:49:31,469 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: I said, it's a good glove, coach. I paid good

830
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,779
Speaker 1: money at Dick's Sporting Goods for the glove. He said,

831
00:49:37,820 --> 00:49:41,779
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with the glove. He said, if you

832
00:49:41,820 --> 00:49:44,060
Speaker 1: want to, you can put it in the oven. Now,

833
00:49:45,020 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: baseball families know that's probably not the best.

834
00:49:47,140 --> 00:49:49,450
Speaker 2: Way to break the glove in, but it'll work.

835
00:49:51,730 --> 00:49:53,210
Speaker 1: Put the glove in the oven, he said.

836
00:49:54,489 --> 00:49:56,589
Speaker 2: Break it out. We're not going to eat it. We're

837
00:49:56,610 --> 00:49:57,250
Speaker 2: going to play with it.

838
00:49:58,410 --> 00:50:03,609
Speaker 1: But he said, if you put it in the oven,

839
00:50:04,969 --> 00:50:07,610
Speaker 1: I know gloves aren't supposed to go in ovens, and

840
00:50:07,690 --> 00:50:13,609
Speaker 1: you think truth won't work in trouble. But that's where

841
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: God breaks in faith, when you sit with him. Lest

842
00:50:20,219 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: you take me out of context, I don't believe that

843
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: you stay worried when you worry with God. I realize

844
00:50:27,140 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: he separates what you care about that you shouldn't so

845
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:37,100
Speaker 1: much and what you're carrying that you shouldn't be carrying

846
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 1: by yourself.

847
00:50:39,610 --> 00:50:40,430
Speaker 2: That's what happens.

848
00:50:41,610 --> 00:50:45,010
Speaker 1: When you present it to God, David said, my God.

849
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 2: That's the difference.

850
00:50:46,780 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: That's the only difference I want you to make this week.

851
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: I know you're struggling with it. I know there is

852
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,570
Speaker 1: an oven that your faith is in, but just shift it.

853
00:50:57,100 --> 00:51:01,330
Speaker 1: Take the worry and convert it to a prayer. Just

854
00:51:01,390 --> 00:51:05,890
Speaker 1: put God at the front of it. God, instead of worrying,

855
00:51:06,150 --> 00:51:10,210
Speaker 1: praying to yourself, you don't have the answers. You know

856
00:51:10,230 --> 00:51:10,529
Speaker 1: you don't.

857
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 2: But you have a Father.

858
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,940
Speaker 1: If you will talk to him like that this week,

859
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: he'll train you in trust.

860
00:51:19,300 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: He not only gave you the truth.

861
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:28,290
Speaker 1: He uses the trouble to prove the truth. Put the

862
00:51:28,310 --> 00:51:31,370
Speaker 1: heading back up one more time. Y'all all know David

863
00:51:31,390 --> 00:51:32,930
Speaker 1: got out of Gath. I don't have to tell you that.

864
00:51:33,050 --> 00:51:34,250
Speaker 1: You know he went on to be king. I don't

865
00:51:34,270 --> 00:51:36,710
Speaker 1: have to tell you that. You know how your story

866
00:51:36,790 --> 00:51:39,250
Speaker 1: ends too. He who began a good work in you

867
00:51:39,290 --> 00:51:40,690
Speaker 1: will be faithful to complete it to the day of

868
00:51:40,750 --> 00:51:41,490
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.

869
00:51:42,850 --> 00:51:43,770
Speaker 2: Flip to the back of the book.

870
00:51:43,830 --> 00:51:44,490
Speaker 1: It says, Amen.

871
00:51:44,510 --> 00:51:45,300
Speaker 2: That means so be it.

872
00:51:45,310 --> 00:51:47,110
Speaker 1: That means God's going to do everything he said he

873
00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:59,300
Speaker 1: would do. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. To the tune of a

874
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: dove on distant oaks of David, a mictum. I didn't

875
00:52:04,219 --> 00:52:04,959
Speaker 1: know what that was.

876
00:52:06,380 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: I looked it up.

877
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,530
Speaker 1: I was glad I did. It's a type of psalm.

878
00:52:11,570 --> 00:52:16,109
Speaker 1: There are six of them in the Hebrew Scriptures. They

879
00:52:16,130 --> 00:52:21,270
Speaker 1: always start in crisis and they end in confidence. That's

880
00:52:21,290 --> 00:52:22,700
Speaker 1: what happens when you worry with God.

881
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,980
Speaker 2: Now, miktom.

882
00:52:26,860 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: Never heard of a miktom. I've heard of a mixtape.

883
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: I've never heard of a miktom. I can tell you

884
00:52:31,340 --> 00:52:35,950
Speaker 1: all about mixtapes and LA looks and all kinds of

885
00:52:35,989 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: things from the 80s, but I never heard of this

886
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: ancient song called a miktam and i was very blessed

887
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,180
Speaker 1: to learn that not only does it start in crisis

888
00:52:45,219 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: and end in confidence like it always happens when you

889
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: talk to god but that it comes from the word

890
00:52:52,700 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: that means covered because it's reserved for those kinds of

891
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:06,379
Speaker 1: prayers that you pray when you're trapped that it's usually

892
00:53:06,420 --> 00:53:08,260
Speaker 1: a prayer that you have to pray inside of yourself,

893
00:53:08,300 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: not to yourself. You pray to God, but you allow

894
00:53:11,620 --> 00:53:14,819
Speaker 1: him to enter into your situation and show you the

895
00:53:14,860 --> 00:53:19,219
Speaker 1: truth again. So I wondered, is it not only that

896
00:53:19,260 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: David had to cover his lips when he prayed this

897
00:53:23,530 --> 00:53:25,620
Speaker 1: and pretend to be crazy to get away from Gath?

898
00:53:27,370 --> 00:53:31,730
Speaker 1: Was it also a mictum? Because while he was covering

899
00:53:31,770 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: his mouth, God was covering him. I remind you today

900
00:53:37,860 --> 00:53:42,340
Speaker 1: that you're covered, that the feathers of his wings are

901
00:53:42,380 --> 00:53:47,260
Speaker 1: spread out. My God, he that dwelleth in the secret

902
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,739
Speaker 1: place of the Most High will abide under the shadow

903
00:53:52,610 --> 00:53:57,130
Speaker 1: of the Almighty, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,

904
00:53:57,989 --> 00:54:00,109
Speaker 1: the God of Jacob. Bow your head.

905
00:54:00,170 --> 00:54:00,850
Speaker 2: Close your eyes.

906
00:54:03,230 --> 00:54:07,610
Speaker 1: Father, as we sing this song, Jireh, Seal the truth

907
00:54:07,710 --> 00:54:14,270
Speaker 1: in our hearts that my God will provide all my needs.

908
00:54:15,510 --> 00:54:18,150
Speaker 2: In Jesus' name.

909
00:54:18,190 --> 00:54:23,610
Speaker 1: Sing, church. I'll never be more loved than I am

910
00:54:23,820 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: right now. Wasn't holding you up, so there's nothing I

911
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: can do to let you down.

912
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,380
Speaker 2: Bring the lights down for worship.

913
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: It doesn't take a trophy to make you proud cause.

914
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,250
Speaker 2: I'll never be more loved than I.

915
00:54:43,350 --> 00:54:50,810
Speaker 3: Am right now I'm.

916
00:54:48,230 --> 00:54:51,630
Speaker 2: Going through a storm but I won't go.

917
00:54:51,310 --> 00:54:56,620
Speaker 3: Down I hear your voice carried in the rhythm of

918
00:54:56,660 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 3: the wind to call me.

919
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 5: Out love you across an ocean so I wouldn't drown.

920
00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:12,660
Speaker 1: You've never been closer than you are right now. My

921
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: God is a provider. I call him Jireh.

922
00:55:16,950 --> 00:55:18,010
Speaker 5: You are enough.

923
00:55:18,070 --> 00:55:25,700
Speaker 3: Jireh. You are enough.

924
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,380
Speaker 2: So I will be content.

925
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: So I will be content.

926
00:55:29,860 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 5: In all situations.

927
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: In every circumstance. Because you are a child.

928
00:55:37,940 --> 00:55:43,940
Speaker 3: You are enough. Forever enough. Always enough.

929
00:55:44,580 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 5: You're more than enough.

930
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: Yes, you are. Forever enough. Always enough.

931
00:55:49,989 --> 00:55:52,370
