WEBVTT - Your Limitation Can Unlock God’s Power (The Basin)

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin. This

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just for

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you to break it down a little more, to take

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>it a little deeper. I hope you enjoy this overflow message.

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Let me know, let's go. Sometimes God uses the wrong

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>things from our perspective to accomplish his purpose in our life.

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes God uses something that we would never see coming,

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>or someone that we would never see coming, to help us,

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>or to instruct us, or to challenge us, or to

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>grow us. So watch the left hand. I went out

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 1>and took this boxing lesson the other day, and I

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I'm going to go back because I

0:00:54.800 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>got these these injured shoulders, these forty three year old

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>man injury. So I got to weigh the cost benefit

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>of going out there and doing this this mma at

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>this stage of my life. But when he was teaching

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>me the boxing stuff, he said, I'm glad you know

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>your stance because one time a guy showed me that

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>because I'm right handed, I don't lead with my right foot,

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that the leg that my power comes from, boom my

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>right hand, I'm going to pivot off that leg. So

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to stand up right now and demonstrate this,

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>because I might scare you, but your left leg leads

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>right and then you pivot from the hip to get

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the power from the right hand. So I'm leading with

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the leg that's not on my strong side, so power

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>can come from the back. Now, I probably need to

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>take another boxing lesson or two before I start teaching

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>this principle publicly. But between me and you, I think

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that is in itself kind of a metaphor for the

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>fact that sometimes God will lead with something that looks

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>like weakness, left leg, weak side, because the power is

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>in the pivot. So that his power. Watch this, his

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>right hand can do the work. God sent a left

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>handed deliver, and you know, I don't know the percentages,

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>but there are less left handed people, and particularly in

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the military, some commentators say that it was unusual for

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a left handed a left handed marksman, or a left

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>handed archer, or a left handed slinger to be promoted

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in the ranks, you know, the right handed people. But first, well,

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see all through the Book of Judges

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>as I come back to these devotions while we're doing

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>our personal family reading from the Book of Judges, We're

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>going to see over and over again. He Sometimes God

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>is going to do something and he's gonna lead with

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the left. He's gonna lead with the thing that we

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.959
<v Speaker 1>don't expect. And many times in your life you are

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>diminishing what makes you different, and destiny is sometimes in

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>your difference. You are comparing yourself so much to others

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>who you think, Oh, they're the right person, they're they

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>do it the right way. They got the right stuff.

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, the new kids on the block weren't the

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>only ones singing about you got the right stuff. We

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>all look at somebody else. Well, she got the right stuff.

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>He's got the right stuff. Hmm, I guess God can

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.119
<v Speaker 1>use them. Now smart they are? Wow, I guess God

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>can use them. We got charismatic there. I guess God

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>can use them. Look what all their parents taught them,

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Look what they inherited. Stop them about that and look

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>in the left hand, what do you you have that

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>is uniquely you that God can use for his purpose?

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah said, I am like an arrow. My mouth is

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>like an arrow that God has hidden. It is hidden

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>because it is significant. You are hidden because you are significant,

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>really important things You put away where thieves can't break in,

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>and steal right. God has things locked inside of you.

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>He's locked them because they are valuable. He has locked

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the treasure, the resource of your contribution, of your spiritual gift,

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>of your acts of service. And when the time is right,

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he going to bring you forth and use you. And

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>so the idea that he locked the door, what's the

0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>significance of him locking the door? And it says in

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>a later verse that they found the key and unlocked

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the door where the king was sitting there dead with

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>his gut spelling out. I'll leave that to your imagination.

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I could get real graphic here, you know.

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 2>And as the interess spilled no, no, no, and they

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>found the blade that had previously been on the thigh

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>of the judge. Now, I just leave it to the imagination.

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 2>You can't undersee this, right.

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>The fat closes all in over the blades, so now

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the blade is still hidden. Sucks a blade up in there,

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and the weapon is hidden first on Iyhud's thigh and

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>then in Egglon's belly. Everything in the passage is hidden.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.359
<v Speaker 1>But when they found the key, they unlocked the door.

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>And that spoke to me about how the unlocked for

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the nation of Israel. After eighteen years of chains of

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>oppression metaphorically speaking, not that they were physically in chains,

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>although some of them were, but the captivity that was

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>a part of this cycle was unlocked by a man

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>with the left hand from the tribe of the right hand.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And many times in my life I have limited myself

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>because I'm left handed. Again, just to be clear, in

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>case this video is ever made public, or in case

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I send it to a friend who is left handed

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>and you are offended, and you send me an article

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>on seven reasons that left handed people are more likely

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to go to Harvard, be the president and win an oscar,

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and send me all the geniuses that were left handed

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and talk about woe Ambidexterrius and boom boom boom boom boom. No,

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't really. Okay, we'll send me the

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>articles I'm sure I find I'm interesting, and then I'll

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>put those in the illustration too, Because here there is

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:02.919
<v Speaker 1>a clear literary vice that the author of judges is saying,

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin Son of my right hand, he had a judge

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that the Bible doesn't even say. The spirit came on

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>who was left handed, had a secret meeting, and God

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>used an eighteen inch eighteen inch weapon a left handed

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>man in a secret place to deliver a nation. I

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>think there are secret weapons that you have that you

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>sometimes don't recognize because you get discouraged. Right, Isaiah goes

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>on to say in Isaiah forty nine, verse three, he

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>said to me, you are my servant Israel, in whom

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I will display my splendor. Well, Isaiah comes long after

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the Book of Judges, but you know when he says

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you are my servant Israel, Isaiah's not just talking about himself.

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>He's talking about the whole nation, and he's prophesying about

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Jesus the Messiah. But in this case, what's what he says?

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I said verse four, I have labored in vain. I've

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>spent my strength for nothing at all. Wow, I have

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>spent my strength for nothing at all. Man, I'm doing

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>everything I know to do, but I'm left handed. I'm weak.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>And you know the next verse it really hit home

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>for me and brought this thing together. In verse four,

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>part B, he said, yet what is due me? Because

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>he's feeling like a little bit of self pity. He's

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>not seeing the results, he's not feeling like he's making

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a difference. The nation is not turning back in this

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>particular instance, he's preaching and prophesying. But you might feel

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>like that with the investments that you're making of your time.

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>You might feel like that with the way that you're

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to create relationships. You may be in a season

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>of feeling rejection. You may just feel like, Man, I'm

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>not getting any progress or any traction. I keep getting

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>sick in my body over and over again, and I

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>keep having to reset, and I can't move forward. I

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>keep going back into this old path, and it seems

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>like it's all for nothing. Well, if you feel like that,

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and you've been saying things like that lately, I've spent

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>my strength for nothing at all, you need this next

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>part of the verse. Yet, verse four b Isaiah forty nine.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Yet what is do me is in the lord hand?

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me? What is powerful? I messed it up? Yet?

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>What is me is in the Lord's hand? And my

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>reward is with my God? What is do me? Say

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>this out loud? What is do me? Is in the

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Lord's hands? See? Because I'm his servant. It's his purpose,

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>it's his will, it's his word, it's his word. So God,

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>get me out of self pity. Oh, why does nobody

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>appreciate me? Why don't they see and put the shine

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>on me? Why is nobody thanking me? All of those

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>things are natural to feel. But get this in your spirit. Yet,

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>what is do me is in the Lord's hand, which one,

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>sometimes the left one. Sometimes God is going to bless

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you out of his left hand. Look for it in

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the left hand. Watch for the left hand. Watch for

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>God to take somebody that you weren't even trying to

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>impress or get to notice you, and bring them over

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to help you with something that you needed help with.

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Watch for God point you to somebody who isn't looking

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>for you. Let's don't just get in a selfish mindset.

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>We got to think like servants of the Lord here

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and watch for God to say, I want you to

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>be the left hand in this situation. I want you

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.679
<v Speaker 1>to offer to do that for them. I want you

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to make a difference in this situation. And nobody's expecting you,

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and you need to blow a trumpet. In fact, do

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it in secret. Don't even blow the trumpet about it,

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>don't announce say oh I'm coming to help. Just be

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that that left handed, that sneaky secret weapon, that God

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>can use. Don't have to preface things when you encourage people.

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to encourage you today, just slip a little

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>encouragement in Boom. Do it so much that they don't

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>even know it was you. They just get it like

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it was from God, or they think they thought of it.

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite things people tell me after I

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>preach is I loved when you said blank blank blank.

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't say any of that because I feel

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>like I got them tapped into the Holy Spirit, and

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the Spirit said that, and the Spirit is way smarter

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>than pastor Steven. So we did our job. Lord Boom.

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>You got them with the left hand. Boom, got with

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>left hand, bought a sneaky jab. That's that jab right there.

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.679
<v Speaker 1>That's God coming in to do a work in your

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>life through the left hand. Watch for the left hand.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>The unlock is in the left hand. How many times

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>did I think that I wasn't going to be a

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>good songwriter for worship you sake because of my vocal limitations.

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I can't like that guy or that person.

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know all the music theory, and maybe

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I should have studied more and learned the music theory.

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I could have. Maybe I could have. I'm sure

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I could have. I know I could have. I could

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>have paid more attention to those lessons. I got a

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>book somewhere around here where the lessons are sitting in

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a notebook. I'll find it. I don't want to distract

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>myself right now, but it's a big, thick green binder

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 1>where a guy named Darryl and Saint Stephen's, South Carolina

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>taught me. I'd go out there and drive to Saint

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Stephen's every what was it Tuesday night? And my mom

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>will give me the money to go pay. I'm sixteen

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>years old. She's still paying for my guitar lessons like

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>she did when I was ten. But I wouldn't practice.

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>So I know. I know a little bit about a guitar.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I probably know enough to say if you just heard

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 1>me go uh boom, you'd be, oh, man, he knows

0:12:55.240 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>his stuff. Well, I wouldn't that clean book if we

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>just had it for a minute, you think I know,

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>but my knowledge would run out. So you know, for years,

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 1>when I was in a songwriting situation, I would think

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>of myself as like the least musically knowledgeable person in

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the room, and I usually am as far as theory,

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I only really can play this one instrument,

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and what I know about it is limited. But I

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>have been able to work with great people who know

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>things I don't know and bring the gift that I

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>do have as a musician. I have an instinct that's

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>unique to me. I have a way of phrasing things

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>like one creative put it. Each personality is a prism,

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and the life light shines through us differently than it

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>will anybody else. So when I get in there and

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>see myself as a prism, rather than putting myself in

0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the prison of what I don't know, what I can't do,

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 1>how much better they are, how much better they sound. Though,

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes the fact that I only know so many chords

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>helps me do something simple. That's the chords to a

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 1>song called Graves into Gardens. That song has gone around

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the world. It's been one of the most powerful songs

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that I've ever been a part of writing with the

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 1>people I wrote it with, And I was just playing

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 1>these guitars out of tune. By the way, the simplest

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>riff you can imagine with my left hand, so you

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>can't see the right hand. The right hand is strumming

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>down here, but the left hand is fretting. Just that

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 1>suscort set the tone for.

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 3>YouTube morn in today's You give beauty for ashes, you

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 3>turn shame into glor You use left handed people. Now

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm right handed, but my left hand is fretting. Your

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 3>left hand has a job too. In your weakness he

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 3>has made strong. So look for the unlocked in the

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 3>left hand. Offer not only your strengths to God, which

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 3>are awesome. You know, is say say, that's not my

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 3>strength in man. But the Lord said, I have hidden

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 3>certain gifts in weaknesses. Not as an excuse not to

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 3>practice your guitar, just to realize that your limitations sometimes.

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Are what God uses to unlock his power. You can

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>see this over and over again in scripture, can't you.

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>You can see God using an apparent limitation to unlock

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a miracle, to unlock a collaboration, to unlock a blessing,

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 1>to unlock a healing. You know, to the crippled man

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 1>with the crippled hand, he said, stretch out your hand.

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 1>That's a limitation if your hand is shriveled and you

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>can't stretch it out. And I really don't know which

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>hand it was that was shriveled. I don't know if

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the Bible says or not. I haven't looked at that

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>passage in a few months, but I think it's relevant

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to our discussion today to look for the blessings in

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the left hand, son of my right hand. That means blessing.

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes God blesses you on the left hand. And

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we're caught up on people who have left us.

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes we're caught up on things that have left us

0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that we don't see what God has for us in

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.399
<v Speaker 1>our lives. Hey, I hope you enjoyed the podcast, and
