I don't know 35 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 5: how this can possibly work out. Maybe it's someone else's 36 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 5: involved and so you think, oh, no, they have to 37 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 5: change before my situation can change. Or maybe you have 38 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 5: a big dream in your heart you can see it 39 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 5: from a distance, but then you realize, I don't have 40 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 5: the resources, I don't have the education, I don't know 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 5: the right people. See, that's when we feel like our 42 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 5: hands are tied. But I want to encourage you with 43 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 5: something this morning, and really just it's a reminder to 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 5: you this morning. 45 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: Hands may be tied, but God's hands are never tied. 46 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 5: God's hands are never tied, and his power is limitless 47 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 5: in your life. See, that's what we need to allow 48 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 5: to sink down into our hearts and minds. Hey, when 49 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 5: it looks impossible to me in the natural. I have 50 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 5: to remind myself that I serve a supernatural God, that 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 5: my God has all the power in all the world. 52 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 5: When we look at things, we see it from a 53 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 5: natural perspective. But God is saying to us today, I 54 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 5: haven't asked you to walk by sight. I've asked you 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 5: to walk by faith. I've asked you to remember my 56 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 5: great power towards you. 57 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: Listen. 58 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 5: We cannot limit our options in life by what we see, 59 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 5: because if we do, we will live a very limited life. 60 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 5: And can I tell you this, Most of the time, 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 5: when God asks you to do something, it's to be 62 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 5: over your head. It's going to be bigger than yourself. 63 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 5: Because see, if it wasn't, you wouldn't need God, you 64 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 5: wouldn't need to walk by faith, because you could do 65 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 5: it in your own abilities and your own strength. So 66 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 5: be encouraged today if you feel a little overwhelmed and 67 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 5: a little over your head, because that's when God can 68 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 5: come in if you won't limit His power in your life. 69 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 2: So I'm seventy eight says this. 70 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 5: It says they vexed the Holy One of Israel because 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 5: they did not remember his power. They turned back and 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 5: limited God. The children of Israel came against obstacles, but 73 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 5: they didn't remember God's power. They forgot that he redeemed 74 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 5: them from the oppressor. They didn't think about that he 75 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 5: brought water out of a rock in the desert so 76 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 5: they could drink it. Frustrated God, and it said they 77 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 5: turned back and limited his power. Now, I just want 78 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 5: to stop right there for just a minute, because that 79 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 5: word limited does not apply to God. 80 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: God is limitless. 81 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 5: But they limited God's power by their own mindset, their 82 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 5: own way of thinking. They turned back and gave up 83 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 5: too soon because they didn't consider all the miraculous things 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 5: God had done in the past. All they considered was 85 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 5: the obstacle that was in front of them. Have you 86 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 5: ever stopped doing something you thought God wanted you to do? 87 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 5: Maybe gave up a little too soon because you felt insignificant, 88 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 5: Maybe you were fearful. Maybe you just drew a little 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 5: line around you and thought, you know what, I'd like 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 5: to do it, but. 91 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: I just can't. 92 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 5: That's exactly what the children of Israel did. They stopped 93 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 5: when they should have continue to move forward. Moses finally 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 5: got them to the border of the Promised Land, took 95 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 5: them a long time. All those stops, they finally got 96 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 5: to the border. Moses got him there and he said, Okay, 97 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 5: we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna take this land that 98 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 5: God has promised us. But first we're gonna send some 99 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 5: of the leaders ahead and we're gonna let them check 100 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 5: out the land, and they're gonna bring a report back 101 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 5: to us, hoping I'm sure that they would rally the troops. 102 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 5: So he sent some of the men in to spy 103 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 5: out the land, and when they returned, they returned with 104 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 5: this report. They said, Moses, the land is amazing. It's 105 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 5: full of milk and honey. It's green, it's lush. The 106 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 5: vegetation there is beautiful, plenty for us to eat. But 107 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 5: have you ever had a butt? I like to butt. 108 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: But there are giants in the land, they said. 109 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 5: We look like grasshoppers compared to the people in the land. 110 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 5: It spread like wildfire throughout the. 111 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: Camp, and fear. Fear paralyzed them. 112 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 5: Two men, two men were of a different report. Joshua 113 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 5: and Caleb literally broke that limited mindset. 114 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: And you know what their report was. This was their 115 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: take on the situation. 116 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 5: The land is great. There may be giants. But let's 117 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 5: go at once and take the land. Because the Lord, 118 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 5: our God is with us. 119 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: He's with us. 120 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 5: You may feel like a grasshopper, but get your eyes 121 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 5: off of yourself and get your eyes on the Lord, 122 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 5: your God, who is with you. 123 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: See that's the key. 124 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 5: You'll always be limited, but you serve a limitless God, 125 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 5: and if you can tap into his power, you can 126 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 5: become everything that. 127 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: He's called you to be. 128 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 5: You may be in a situation right now where you 129 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 5: need healing, you may need restoration, you may need a 130 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 5: red sea to literally be split. 131 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: In your behalf. Well, let me tell you. 132 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 5: If you look at your present situation and take your 133 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 5: eyes off of your powerful God, you're going to be 134 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 5: just like they were. 135 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: You're gonna draw a. 136 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 5: Little border around yourself and say, I'm not getting out 137 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 5: of this border because I'm nice and safe right here. 138 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: It's okay. That on the other side is my dreams 139 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: and my goals, but I want. 140 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 5: To stay right here. See have you ever talked yourself 141 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 5: out of it? It sounds nice, I can see it, 142 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 5: but but it's not for me. 143 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: It's too difficult. See that's exactly where they were. 144 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 5: They were at a difficult place they were at a 145 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: hard place, but Joshua broke that mindset and said, no, 146 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 5: we're gonna go in at once and we're gonna take 147 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 5: the land. 148 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: This is the key. 149 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 5: If your dreams or your situations look impossible today, and 150 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 5: we're gonna get this key from Joshua one p. 151 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: Seven. 152 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 5: This is exactly what God told Joshua. It looks impossible, 153 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 5: it's gonna be difficult. You're gonna run in sis of 154 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 5: some challenges. But this is the key to your success, Joshua. 155 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 5: He said, don't let this law depart from your eyes. 156 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 5: Stay focused on it, keep it right in front of you. 157 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 5: Don't look to the left, don't look to the right, 158 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 5: don't look at the enemies, don't look at the giants. 159 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 5: You keep your eyes fixed on the law of the Lord, 160 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 5: meditating on it. What he was saying was, you've got 161 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 5: to be single minded when it comes to the things 162 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 5: of God. If you're gonna climb that next mountain, you've 163 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 5: got to be single minded. You can't look at the obstacles. 164 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 5: You've got to look at the power of the living God. 165 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 5: Let's set our eyes on God. Let's quit looking at 166 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 5: the things that would try to distract us. 167 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: Cause fear in our life. 168 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 5: Let's quit reasoning now all the reasons we can't, and 169 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 5: let's start factoring in all the reasons we can. 170 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: We serve a limitless God, a supernatural God. 171 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 5: Let's don't oh by our natural sight or our natural reasoning. 172 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 5: Let's be bold and create and courageous like Joshua and 173 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 5: Caleb Org. That's how the Bible described them. That's how 174 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 5: you break a limited mindset.
