Speaker 4: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoy this message. Have you ever felt restless?

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: Maybe you felt anxious? You're just not content. You don't

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 4: even know what it is. It's just something that's just

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: stirring inside of you, you know. I think we all

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: have been there. In fact, sometimes we don't even realize

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: it's what it is that we're not content. We just

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: think there's something more and we're looking for it. Maybe

46
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 4: you're struggling to get that promotion. You're working hard at work. Man,

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: you've got your eye on that promotion. Oh, you're just

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: going for it. You're getting a little out of balance.

49
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: You just don't feel satisfied even though you're headed in

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: a right direction. Or maybe you're at home and you've

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: got children and they're in diapers and you're thinking, I'm exhausted. Huh,

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: I need something else, I need something, and you begin

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: looking for it. You know, a lot of times we

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: can look for things to fill our spaces in all

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 4: the wrong places. You know. Sometimes we think we need something,

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: so we go after it, but it can't fill that

57
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: space that longing to make us content.

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: You know.

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: The only thing that can fill that space is Jesus.

60
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: It's God inside of us. But we're so used to

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: going so fast that we forget what the source of

62
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: our strength is, the source of our meaning and our purpose.

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: Because sometimes we try to be the source of our

64
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: meaning and our purpose. You know, sometimes we can look

65
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: to food to fill those spaces. Some people look to

66
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: alcohol because it numbs them. Just let me have a

67
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: break here. You know, sometimes we are looking for any

68
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: distraction to cause us to forget what's going on on

69
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: the inside of us. You know it's interesting because social

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: media can be a great distraction. You can forget all

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: your problems and check out someone else's life. You can

72
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: almost live vicariously through them as you're flipping through the pages.

73
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: But you know it's interesting about that. It's fun unless

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: you're there for the wrong reasons, unless you're trying to

75
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: escape your life to find someone else's life, to find

76
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 4: meaning and purpose. Because once that's over, you usually leave

77
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 4: more discontent than you can. You usually leave more sad

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: than you can. I've experienced it. I've been looking at

79
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: all these other people's great life and I think, man,

80
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: I'm missing out. I'm comparing their best life with my

81
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: worst life. I'm contemparing a moment in time with all

82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 4: my life. You see, don't run after something else looking

83
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: for something to fill this space. Only Jesus can fill it.

84
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if you're well off, if you're successful.

85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 4: You've got to find contentment because sometimes we think, if

86
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: this will happen, I'll be happy when I get that promotion,

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: when I get that new house, when I get a

88
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: little more money, I'll be happy, I'll be successful. But

89
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 4: can I tell you that lie of success is always moving,

90
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: It's always moving. If you're chasing success, you're never gonna

91
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 4: catch up with it because it's always moving. You can

92
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 4: ever have enough. Don't feel like, well, you know what

93
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna suffer for Jesus. I'm stripping it all off.

94
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: I'm giving it all away, because that's not going to

95
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: fulfill you either. Because if you're trying to do something

96
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 4: for Jesus out to show it's not gonna work for you.

97
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: It's not gonna work for you if you're saying, Jesus,

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: look what I've done for you today, because see, it's

99
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: not what you're doing for Jesus. It's what Jesus has

100
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: done for you. That's what Jesus is done for you. See,

101
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 4: the only thing that will build these spaces is Jesus Christ.

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 4: And when you're feeling anxious, restless, discontent, can I encourage

103
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: us all myself as well? With the words from the

104
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: apostle Paul found in Philippians four. He said this, He

105
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 4: said he was writing this is interesting because he was

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: writing to the church at Philippi. He wasn't writing to unbelievers.

107
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: He wasn't writing. He was writing to the church. And

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: this is what he was saying. He says, I know

109
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: what it is to be in need, he said, and

110
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 4: I know what it is to have plenty. I've been

111
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: without and I've had more than enough. And he says,

112
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 4: I have learned the secret of being content in every situation.

113
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: I've learned the secret. Don't you know? They were leaning in.

114
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: We all want to know the secret. Secret to weight loss,

115
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: secret to a happy life, secret to a better marriage.

116
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: He said, I've learned the secret to be content in

117
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: every situation. Can I tell you contentment will fix your situation.

118
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 4: Contentment is a powerful state of being. And Paul said,

119
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: I have learned this and now I'm going to share

120
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: it with you. He says, this is the secret. He said,

121
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

122
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: I can do it all. I can make it my

123
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: way through it all with Christ strengthen in me. You

124
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: see his profound secret. And what he had learned was

125
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: the fact that it was Christ in him, the hope

126
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: of glory. It was I can through him. I can

127
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: through him. I can't apart from him. I'm a mess

128
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: apart from him in prison. Apart from him, but with him,

129
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: the prison is not getting in me because I'm full

130
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: of Christ Jesus. I may be in a tough spot.

131
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: I may be in a place I don't like, but

132
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm useful to the Kingdom of God.

133
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: I love Paul's writings because he was always saying, listen,

134
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: you know today is to be with Christ. You know,

135
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: if I go, that's great. But if I'm staying, I'm

136
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 4: not letting the circumstances get in me. If I'm here

137
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: on earth, I'm gonna be in Christ Jesus. I'm gonna

138
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: walk with purpose and destiny, knowing that He doesn't waste

139
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: one thing in my life. I am so grateful that

140
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: Paul didn't give up in prison. I'm so grateful he

141
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: didn't let prison take him captive. But he said, I'm

142
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: in prison, but God is here with me, and as

143
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 4: long as He's with me, I can do all things.

144
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: I can bear all things, and I'm useful to the

145
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 4: Kingdom of God. So he shared with us the sek

146
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 4: of contentment, which is powerful in our life. Now. I

147
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: don't know about you, but sometimes it takes me a

148
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: little while to learn a lesson. I don't know how

149
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: long it took Paul to learn this lesson, because he

150
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: said he had to learn it. He said, I had

151
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: to learn this, and now that I have learned it

152
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: and experienced it, guess what, I'm sharing it with you.

153
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: He's saying this, though, I can share the secret with you,

154
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 4: but you've got to dig into the mystery of it.

155
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: You've got to go after it yourself. You've got to

156
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: experience it yourself. It's called maturity. He said, I've actually

157
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: come to that place that I've learned something. It's okay

158
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: if it takes us a long time to learn. I

159
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 4: can have somebody tell me something. I'm not kidding. They

160
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: can tell me. I can hear something over and over again,

161
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 4: and then one day it makes sense. One day I

162
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: actually get it. Paul is saying, I'm giving you the secret.

163
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: Go get it, Go get it. You see, when you're

164
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 4: you're powerful to shed a little more light on this contentment.

165
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 4: Paul tells us this in Philippians, for he says, don't

166
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 4: be anxious for anything. What is the opposite of content anxious, discontent, restless.

167
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: Don't be those things. Here's the remedy, he says, don't

168
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: be anxious for anything, but by prayer and petition, with

169
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 4: thanksgiving in your heart, let your request be made known

170
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: to God. And the peace of God. The promise of

171
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: peace will guard your heart and mind. In Christ Jesus,

172
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: he said, I'm in this prison, but can I tell

173
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: you what's between me and these bars is peace. I'm

174
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 4: gonna embrace the place that I'm in and I'm gonna

175
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 4: move forward. Now he said this, he says, I give

176
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 4: thanks and all things. He didn't say, I give thanks

177
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: for all things. I really don't believe he was happy

178
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 4: he was in prison. Yay, I'm in prison. It was great.

179
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: Been shipwrecked, be No, these things happened to him. He

180
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: was in those circumstances. He didn't give thanks to God

181
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 4: for those circumstances. He gave thanks to God that God

182
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: was with him in those circumstances. But there was an outcome,

183
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 4: There was a promise I can through him. You see,

184
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: sometimes we try to rush through those bad parts of life,

185
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 4: those tough parts, those uncomfortable parts, and you know what,

186
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 4: We're only human. It's not natural to want to be

187
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: in pain and party. But you know what Paul was

188
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: trying to share with us. Your contentment does not have

189
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: to come from your circumstance. How many of you women

190
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: in here. You're a mother, and you remember those diaper

191
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: days and I'm just about exhausting to change another one

192
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: of those dye. But then when you got past it,

193
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: kids got into school, maybe they're married, you realize those

194
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: were precious days. They weren't as exhausting as they thought

195
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 4: they were. I wouldn't mind having one more diaper to change.

196
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: Maybe your sophomore in college, you can't wait to get

197
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: to graduate, while I am on my way to graduation.

198
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: You graduate, then you realize it was difficult. It really

199
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 4: wasn't that bad. Kind of like it better than the

200
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: real world. You see. Contentment is not complacency. I just

201
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,479
Speaker 4: want to say that contentment's not complacency. You should be ambitious.

202
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: You should want to succeed, You should want to have purpose.

203
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: For Christ Jesus, you should want to move forward. God

204
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 4: put that in us. He told us have dominion. Some

205
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 4: do your situations. It's not complacent. But the problem is

206
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: if you can't enjoy where you are right now and

207
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: what you have right now, you're being cheated. That's not

208
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 4: the best for your life. Don't be missing the now

209
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: to get to the later. Don't miss the now to

210
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: get to the later. You know, even when it's tough,

211
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: This is what Paul said. It's tough in here, but

212
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: I've developed, I've matured, and I've learned some things. No

213
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 4: matter what you're going through right now, there's a lesson

214
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: in it. There's something to take from it. Listen. If

215
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 4: you go through it and you don't learn through it,

216
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 4: there's a problem. God wants to reveal his mysteries, his grace,

217
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 4: his purpose in us. That is not a great subject.

218
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 4: Is it not fun to go through? But if you

219
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 4: can learn through it, if you can come out the

220
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: other side stronger, that old song of it didn't kill me.

221
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: It made me stronger othough, Paul said, it's making me stronger.

222
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: Hindsight's twenty twenty. But we don't want to live there,

223
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: do we. We want to live in the future. I

224
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 4: want to encourage you that contentment is a state of mind.

225
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: It has nothing to do with where you are. The

226
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 4: Webster's Dictionary says the definition of contentment is a state

227
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: of peaceful happiness. It's an attitude has nothing to do

228
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 4: with where you are. It's a state of peaceful happiness.

229
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 4: Proverbs fifteen fifteen says a content mind is a continual feast.

230
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: It's a continual feast. Can I encourage you to feast

231
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: on the fact that God is for you, He's not

232
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: against you, That whatever you're going through right now doesn't

233
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: have to get in you because you're full of Christ Jesus,

234
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 4: that he's helping you through. And it's that I can

235
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: through Him that's going to give you the strength to

236
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: do it. Amen. He's an awesome God. He's faithful.
