I believe God has amazing things in your future. 39 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message than play. I was 40 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 5: in a garden shop the other day and I came 41 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 5: across some these really cute little lights, solar lights, and 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 5: I was looking at the different styles they had, and 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 5: I thought, these are so cute, and I have the 44 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 5: perfect place to put these lights. There's a place at 45 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 5: our side back door. When you walk out, you begin 46 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 5: to walk down this little path and you can't see anything. 47 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 5: It's so dark. I don't have any electricity out there. 48 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 5: So I thought these solar lights will be perfect to 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 5: place along that path so that we can see at night. 50 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 5: Because I'm always stumbling trying to stay on. 51 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 4: The little path. So I took the lights. 52 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 5: Put him in the ground. It was a beautiful sunny day. 53 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 5: I thought, these lights are gonna power up. It's gonna 54 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 5: be amazing. I can't wait to take a walk tonight 55 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 5: see how my lights are working. So I didn't say 56 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 5: anything to Joel about it, but I said, hey, let's 57 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 5: go take a walk. So we went outside started to 58 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: go down that little path. I wanted to see if 59 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 5: he noticed my new lights. So as we started walking 60 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 5: down the path, I realized my. 61 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 4: Lights weren't working. 62 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 5: I didn't say anything to Joel because I didn't want 63 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 5: him to know that I had put light there and 64 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 5: my plan had failed. So I just kept walking down 65 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 5: the path. But in my mind I was so discouraged. 66 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 5: I thought, now, I thought those lights were just gonna 67 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 5: work beautifully. 68 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 4: There's solar lights. 69 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 5: I thought, you know what, Tomorrow, I'm taking those lights 70 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 5: up and I'm marching them straight back to the store, 71 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 5: and I'm gonna tell them they're cute, but they don't work. 72 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 4: They're no good to me if they don't work. 73 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 5: So the next morning, I got up and I took 74 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 5: the lights out, and I started looking at how it was, 75 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 5: and I began to kind of examine it, and I 76 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 5: noticed under the bottom in the corner was this. 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 4: Little bitty tab. I thought, I've. 78 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 5: Seen this before. You're supposed to pull the tab so 79 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 5: that what is inside the light can be illuminated by 80 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 5: the sun. 81 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: That's what gives it the power. 82 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 5: So I thought, oh wow, okay, So I went and 83 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 5: I pulled all the tabs, put them back down, thought, 84 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 5: tonight is the night God Joel wanted him to come 85 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 5: take a way off with me so he would notice 86 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 5: my lights, And sure enough, they were shining brightly. They 87 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 5: illuminated my path. Now Joel wasn't as impressed with my 88 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: lights as I was, but they were working perfectly once 89 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 5: I figured out to pull the tab so that they 90 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 5: could be powered by the sun. You see, we're very 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 5: much like those solar lights. We have to pull our tab. 92 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,239 Speaker 5: That means remove anything in our life that would block 93 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 5: us from allowing the sun the Son to shine on us. 94 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 5: You see, we have something on the inside of us, 95 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 5: and it is the seed of God. 96 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 4: And when we allow his presence to shine on us. 97 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 5: When we do all we can do to bask in 98 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 5: his presence get more of him, we are also illuminated. 99 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 4: See. 100 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 5: We weren't meant to stumble around in the darkness. 101 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: We weren't meant to not know the way to go. 102 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 5: God says that we were meant to shine like stars 103 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 5: in the universe. 104 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 4: But we've got to allow the Son to shine in 105 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: our life. See, just like that tab, we've. 106 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 5: Got to remove anything that's stopping the light from shining 107 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 5: on us. I have a tree in my backyard and 108 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 5: it's about ten inches wide. It's a pretty big tree. 109 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 5: But it's so strange because the tree grows at an angle. 110 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 5: And I look at that tree and I think that 111 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 5: is so weird. One day I was out talking to 112 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 5: my yard man and I said, this tree grows so funny. 113 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 5: And he said, well, Victoria, the reason this tree is 114 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 5: growing at an angle is because there are so many 115 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 5: shrubs and other trees around it trying to crowd out 116 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 5: its light. This tree is literally struggling to try to 117 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 5: grow towards the light. You see, the tree is doing 118 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 5: its best to survive. It knows that it grows in 119 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 5: the light, so it's struggling to get to the light. 120 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 4: Are some of you today. 121 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 5: Struggling to get through the light because you've allowed too 122 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 5: many things to crowd your life. 123 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: Maybe busyness is crowding your life from the light. 124 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 5: Maybe you have some friends that are covering your life 125 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 5: and it's not allowing the light to shine on it 126 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 5: because they don't have the same values that you have. 127 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 5: They don't understand the importance of being in the house 128 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 5: of God, of prayer, of worship. But you keep going 129 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 5: back to those friends because they've been friends. 130 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 4: For a long time. 131 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 5: You see that yard man said, if you'll prune away 132 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 5: some of these bushes, if you'll make some room for 133 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 5: the light to come in, this tree will literally quit struggling, 134 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 5: and it'll it may it may just straighten up and 135 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 5: go straight up to the sun, may grow properly. 136 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 4: See. I want to encourage. 137 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 5: Us today to prune our lives, to look at what's 138 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 5: stopping us, to be fully exposed to God, to be 139 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 5: fully walking in His presence at all times. Sometimes over commitment, 140 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 5: even of good things can keep us from the time 141 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 5: spent with God. Busyness isn't always good. We need to 142 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 5: prune some of the busyness out of our life. You know, 143 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 5: some people don't even realize this, that unforgiveness and anger 144 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 5: can cover our life from being totally exposed to the sun. 145 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 5: You see, if we allow anger and bitterness to stay 146 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 5: around too long, guess what the sun may come up 147 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 5: in the morning. If we let the sun go down 148 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 5: on our anger, it stays too long. They come up 149 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 5: in the morning, but it can't reach us because we've 150 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 5: separated ourself through bitterness, through anger, through unforgiveness. 151 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 4: You see, when you can't forgive, God. 152 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 5: Says, how do you expect me to forgive you? You 153 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 5: can't even see me to allow forgiveness to flow. 154 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: You gotta let the sun break forth. 155 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 5: Take those weeds of unforgiveness out of your life. Root 156 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 5: up that anger, don't allow it to stop the flow 157 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 5: of God in your life. 158 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 4: Pull the tabs, so to speak, and say enough is enough. 159 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 5: You see, you may be struggling today, You may be 160 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 5: struggling to grow towards the light. You can make a 161 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 5: decision to do what it takes to straighten up again. 162 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 5: You know, there's a scripture in the Bible that said 163 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 5: the people of Israel they were so discouraged, they had 164 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 5: so much coming against them. It says that they were 165 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 5: so discouraged they couldn't even believe. They couldn't even see 166 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 5: God in the midst of their challenge, because all they 167 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 5: could see was more discouragement. They kept their eyes on 168 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 5: what was wrong instead of looking at what God could do. 169 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 5: You see that discouragement was a cloud that was blocking 170 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 5: the light. They couldn't even lift their eyes and look 171 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 5: through the cloud to see God. 172 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 4: And we have to realize discouragement. 173 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 5: When we face challenges, we can't allow it to get 174 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: inside of us. Discouragement is like a cloud that blocks 175 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 5: the light from our life. You see, We've got to 176 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 5: let go of discouragement and let God shine his light 177 00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 5: on us. I ever realize that maybe it had been 178 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 5: raining several days and you've been in the house a lot, 179 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 5: or you go to work and you come home at 180 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 5: night and it's gloomy and it's rainy, and it just 181 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 5: changes your perspective. You just think, man, this rain, this 182 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 5: has got me down. I don't know what it does. 183 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 5: It just kind of does something to our psyche. But 184 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 5: then the light bursts forth and it's like, oh, my goodness, 185 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 5: the sunshine, and you begin to say, I want to 186 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 5: go outside, I want to do something. I want to 187 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 5: get out in the sunshine. It's been cloudy and rainy 188 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 5: for far too long. 189 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 4: You see. 190 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 5: God wants his light to burst into your life that 191 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 5: very same way. The things that you are afraid to do, 192 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 5: the things that you are stuck in. He wants that 193 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 5: light to burst in and you to move forward. But 194 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 5: you've got to remove the fear, the discouragement in your 195 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 5: life so that God can burst in with his life 196 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 5: and his light. Can you identify anything that's separating you 197 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 5: from letting the so n shine on you. You know, 198 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 5: it's so important that we spend time by ourselves, with 199 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 5: ourselves in God's word, time alone with God reading his word. 200 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 4: You see, the Bible is a life and powerful The 201 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: Scripture says. 202 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 5: It is God breathed words. They're not any words. They're 203 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 5: not like the words in a regular book, a newspaper. 204 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 5: The Bible are God breathe words. And it is so 205 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 5: important that we spend time in the Word. Now some 206 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: people think, well that's okay, you know, what I listen 207 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 5: to preteen, I listen to podcasts, and I'll tell you what. 208 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 4: When you spend time in the Word, it'll make that 209 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: even richer. 210 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 5: They say I don't really need the Bible. I was 211 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 5: talking to a guy and he says, I don't need 212 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 5: the Bible. 213 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 4: I got Joel. Sorry, Joel, it's true. I'll keep Joel. 214 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 4: But I was. 215 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 5: Trying to explain to him the reason he needs to 216 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 5: spend time in the Word, because it's a relationship with God. 217 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 4: You know, sometimes I. 218 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 5: Read some scriptures, especially in the Old Testament, and I 219 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 5: truly don't understand it at the time I'm sitting there. 220 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 5: But you know what I do before I close my Bible, 221 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 5: I say, God, I thank you that your word is 222 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 5: alive and powerful, that it divides anything, whether I understand it. 223 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 4: That you have breathed on these words. So these words 224 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 4: are breathing back on me. 225 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 5: They're causing me to be able to rightly divide my life, 226 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 5: to make the right choices, the right decisions. Because I've 227 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 5: spent time letting God breathe on me, I can go 228 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 5: out and breathe on my life to be a to 229 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 5: be a good steward of my life. 230 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 4: To help other people. You see, it is so important. 231 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 5: The Bible says that the word of God is a 232 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 5: lamp unto our feet. It is a light and too 233 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 5: our path. It will shine you in the right direction. 234 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 5: Don't think, well, I didn't get anything out of the 235 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 5: word today, because let me tell you, if you'll store 236 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 5: that word up, God'll bring it to life in you. 237 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 5: He'll bring it to life in you. But you got 238 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 5: to take time to sit and be with God. Ten 239 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 5: minutes a day, start right there. 240 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: You know. 241 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 5: Sometimes we got to get out of the house, whatever 242 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 5: it takes, get up ten minutes earlier. When I was 243 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 5: a young girl, I remember me and my friends, we 244 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 5: like to worship the sun. Would we didn't realize, you know, 245 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 5: you're supposed to put sunscreen. 246 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 4: We put oil all over us. 247 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 5: We'd do five minutes on the front and five minutes 248 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 5: on the back, so we would bake evenly. 249 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: We let the sun shine on us. 250 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 5: Can I tell you five on the front and five 251 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 5: on the back. Let God's word bake evenly in your life. 252 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 4: Let it bake evenly. 253 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: Listen. 254 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 4: God is a good God. 255 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 5: He wants to shine his light on you. There is 256 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 5: nothing that he can't destroy. There's nothing that he can't 257 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: get rid of. There's no habit, there's nothing that he 258 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 5: can't break. 259 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 4: In your life. 260 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: If you will only expose yourself to the Son, don't 261 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 5: let anything keep you from it. Shake off discouragement, get 262 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 5: rid of anger, get in the word of God, and 263 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 5: remember what Jesus said in John eight twelve.
