So I'm not telling you that 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 3: because we need people to attend. 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: It's always pretty full. I just didn't want you to 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: miss it and not know what was happening. Now. 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 3: I take my job seriously, and my job is to 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 3: put God's words in people's heart. 26 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: That's my job. That's my job. 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: Whenever I'm not preaching to you or studying to preach 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: to you, I'm usually humming a melody into a song, 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: changing a lyric for the fifteenth time, so the team 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: has to learn it at nine to thirteen before we 31 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 3: try it the first time. 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: And it's all the same thing. 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 3: I want you to have watched this a new loop 34 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 3: in your life. That's what I'm preaching about today. That's 35 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: what I preached about last week. Our series shown the graphic. 36 00:01:53,440 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 3: It's called same lies, new loops and meditating on word 37 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: of God is hard when we have so much noise 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: in our world. 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: Isn't it. 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: Y'all got sit there and act like it's not noisy 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: in your in your mind. So a noisy mind needs 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 3: a new loot, something else to latch onto, so you 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: don't go absolutely crazy with temptation and with anger or 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: with shame. And one thing that I love to do 45 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: is when we can get a meditation from God's word 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: and then God gives us a melody to go with it, 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: it helps us to remember it in the hard times. Today, 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: I want to share with you from a psalm Psalm 49 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 3: one hundred and fourteen. We read it in our family 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: Bible club. We don't stand the whole time in our church. 51 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: In case you're wondering, did you wear the wrong shoes? 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 3: I'll let you use that seat to its fullest in 53 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: just a moment. But please stand for the reading of 54 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 3: God's word. And if you're watching this somewhere else, you 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: may want to stand too. There's something about respecting and 56 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: reverencing God's words because his words are eternal. 57 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: Everything else. Everybody says it, and. 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: It goes God's were last forever Psalm fourteen. 59 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: I pick up in verse five. You're gonna like this one. 60 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 4: Wow, Why was it s that you fled? Why Shordan 61 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: did you turn back? Why mountains did you leap like rams? 62 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 4: You hills like lambs? To us, that's kind of strange imagery. 63 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: First of all, he's talking about the things that God 64 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: did in Israel's past. This is a passover psalm that 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: they would use to remember how God brought them out 66 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: of Egypt. How many of you remember when God brought 67 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: you out of something in your own life? So now 68 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: he's taunting their trauma. Why is it c that you fled? 69 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: Why Jordan did you turn back. I gotta say something 70 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: about that verse. Did you know you have a god 71 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: who when he speaks to the sea, it sprints to 72 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: obey him. If God says to the red sea right left, 73 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: the sea doesn't dawdle, The sea doesn't walk, The seed 74 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 3: doesn't crawl, the sea doesn't think about it. When God says, 75 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: see split, the sea sprints to obey his word. 76 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: That's how powerful he is. I gotta go faster. That's 77 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: only one verse. 78 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: Verse six, Why mountains did you leap like rams? Did 79 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 3: you know you have a god who when he speaks, 80 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: mountains leap. I know we're used to talking about mountains moving, 81 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: but this is a different picture. He said, Not only 82 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: do they move, the mountains leap when he speaks. The 83 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: obstacle moves when he speaks. It can happen quickly and 84 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: suddenly and irreversibly and dramatically when he speaks mountains leap 85 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 3: when he speaks sea split. And I'm trying to read 86 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: my but I'm excited about He's been doing it for 87 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 3: a long time. Verse seven, tremble earth at the presence 88 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 89 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: who turned the rock into a pool the hard rock 90 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: into springs of water. One verse from Matthew chapter four, 91 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: verse four. Matthew Chapter four, verse four, the Bible says, 92 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 3: Jesus answered, it is written man shall not live on 93 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 3: bread alone, but on every word that comes from the 94 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: mouth of God. 95 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: Say amen to that. 96 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: Somebody, Yeah, I want to take those two words from 97 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: verse four. Put it up again, please, Jesus answered. The 98 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: title I'd like to preach to you from today. 99 00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: Is two words. He answered. He answered, yeah, He answered, 100 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: turn around and hug five people on your way to 101 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: your seat. 102 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: Say I'm so glad, he answered, I'm glad he picked 103 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: up my call, my collect call. 104 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: I'm glad he paid the price for me. He answered. 105 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: I'm grateful because he answered, I'm standing here today because 106 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: he answered, He answered, I asked him for another day, 107 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: and he gave it. He answered, I. 108 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: Asked him to help me keep my mind together. 109 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: Somebody put it in the chat, say, he answered, Say 110 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: it out loud at every location. He answered, aren't you 111 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: glad you have a God who answers prayers. 112 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: Come on, it's not a rhetorical question. Aren't you glad 113 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: you have a god? Put it in the chat? 114 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: Say I'm glad, he answers yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 115 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 3: Sometimes other people don't, he answered, Sometimes other people turned away, 116 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 3: he answered, now king of rhetorical questions, I love the 117 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: way psalmone fourteen puts the truth across. It was fresh 118 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: to me. And again, we have a family Bible Club, 119 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: and we landed in this just at the time that 120 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: my message was coming together. Thank you Lord for speaking 121 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: to me in my personal life so I could share 122 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 3: it with others. I want to give it to you 123 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: like he gave it to me. It's a rhetorical question. 124 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: Why was it sea that you fled? Why Jordan did 125 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: you turn back? Why mountains did you leap like rams? 126 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: You hills like lambs. We know the answer because God 127 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: told it too, But in framing it rhetorically, it invites 128 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 3: us into the story, and it invites this truth into 129 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: our story as well, the story of your wives and 130 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: what ifs, the loops and lies that the enemy has 131 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: you in imagining worst case scenarios and replaying past hers 132 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: to the point that you cannot see God, who is 133 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 3: your present help? Into this the mis speaks and I 134 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: wonder what melody was attached to this meditation? Why was 135 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: it c that you fled. It's a rhetorical question. Now 136 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 3: you know the phrase rhetorical question, right. A rhetorical question 137 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: is a question that you ask but you really don't 138 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: expect an answer, right, Like somebody says, what were you thinking? 139 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: All they're saying is you're stupid, but they're framing it 140 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: with a question, but don't answer. It's rhetorical. It means 141 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: you weren't right. Or there's other ones too. 142 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just thinking of a few before 143 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: I came out. Oh, here's one. 144 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 3: One time Elijah did something that Holly kept telling him 145 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: not to do, and she kept. 146 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Telling them, kept telling them, and she finally goes, how. 147 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: Many times do I have to tell you? And he 148 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: goes three times? There was a rhetorical question. It wasn't 149 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: a literal question. It was a rhetorical question. And by 150 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: framing this question and as rhetorical about the Red Sea 151 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: or the mountains that God moved for his people, God 152 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: is not only asking a rhetorical question, but he's asking 153 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: a historical question. What did God do for you in 154 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 3: your past that when you remember it, it reveals to 155 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: you how powerful He is in your Now, go ahead 156 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: and get ready to write down some notes. 157 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you three points today. Somebody say, 158 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: he answered. 159 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: Put the title of my sermon right there in the comments. 160 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: Please just put he answered in all caps. 161 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: And of course when he answers in Psalm one fourteen, 162 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 3: he says, tremble earth at the presence of the Lord. 163 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: Now that's how it happened, the presence of the Lord. 164 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 3: Let me put all this together really quickly. Why did 165 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: the sea sprint when God's people were passing through? That's 166 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 3: a historical event, a rhetorical question. Why did the mountain 167 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: move when God told it to? What about those impossible 168 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: things that he did in your life? 169 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: It's rhetorical, it's also historical. 170 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 3: And if you look back over your life, you'll see 171 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: that his presence was everywhere. You didn't always recognize it 172 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: because you were hurting too bad, but his presence was 173 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: there with you. You couldn't quite see it because there 174 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: were enemies surrounding your table, but he prepared a table 175 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 3: for you in the presence of your enemies. 176 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: Who was it that told the sea to split, the 177 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: mountain to move? It was God. 178 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: It's a rhetorical question. It's a historical question. I like 179 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: them to bring my teaching screen out please. Everybody clapped 180 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: to give me the courage to draw a. 181 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: Little bit today. See how supportive the ladies are When. 182 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 3: I I think I'm going to reflect myself next year. 183 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: It looked so fun, looks so fun. 184 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: Okay, I heard you, I heard you. I am not 185 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: going to answer that. You hear what they said. 186 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: No, we want Holly, we want Holly. 187 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: I know me too. 188 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 3: Just to get you back in the mindset of this message, 189 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: I drew a loop and I talked about how the 190 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: enemy is always speaking and so is God. 191 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: Same lies. Let's abbreviate new loops. 192 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: This is the process of transformation. Does that kind of 193 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: look like a brain? 194 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: A little bit like? Not really? 195 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: The renewal of your mind to stop repeating the same 196 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: stuff over and over again that leads you to defeat 197 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: and start repeating what leads you to victory. Victory and 198 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: defeat are both found in the repeat. 199 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: That doesn't only rhyme. That's really good. The victories you. 200 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 3: Experience in your life or even in your physical body, 201 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: the victories of losing weight, the victories of building strength. 202 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 3: It's found in the repeat. So are the defeats you 203 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: lift weight weight one time every four months. And you 204 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 3: only lift one weight four times every one time every 205 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: four months, we will see that result. If you lift 206 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: it every day forty times, we will see that if 207 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 3: you get the right thing on repeat. Oh God, I 208 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: feel like somebody's about to get set free. If you 209 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 3: get the right thing on repeat in your life, You're 210 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 3: gonna get stronger. You're gonna say, like the prophet Isaiah 211 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: said day that weight on the lore will renew their strength. 212 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm renewing my strength by what I do every day. 213 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: I am renewing my strength every time I come to church. 214 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: Give yourself a hand for coming to your class today, 215 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: for tuning into this message today, because this, for me 216 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: is not just a church service, This is a new loop. 217 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: This for me is retraining my brain to move away 218 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: from the lies and believe what God says about me. 219 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: Not only is. 220 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: Your victory found in your repeats, though, but your defeat 221 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 3: is often found in your repeats. What you say to 222 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: yourself over and over again that disagrees with what God 223 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 3: already spoke about you before you were ever born will 224 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: leave you feeling weak. You're not really weak, you just 225 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: are repeating the wrong thing. Repeat the right thing you'll 226 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 3: be stronger. This is not to say that our praise 227 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 3: and pursuit of God will preclude all of our proclivities 228 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 3: towards sin. 229 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: In other words, I'm not saying it's going to be easy. 230 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: And think about this way. 231 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: I read to you what seemed to be a random 232 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 3: verse from Matthew chapter four, where Jesus answered and said, 233 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 3: it is written man will not live on bread alone, 234 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: but every word that comes from the mouth of God. 235 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: You know where Jesus was when he said that the 236 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: wilderness the wilderness. 237 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: I want to show this to you. You're not going 238 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: to believe. This is in the Bible in Matthew four, 239 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: verse one. Turn there if you'd like, or just will 240 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: put it up on the screen for you. Matthew chapter four, 241 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: verse one. The Bible says this, Then Jesus was led 242 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: by the spirit into the wilderness. That's the part I 243 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 3: thought would shock you, because I thought the spirit would. 244 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: Lead Jesus to an easy place. But it gets worse. 245 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness 246 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: to be tempted by the devil. I have got all 247 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 3: kinds of questions about that verse, and none of them 248 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: are rhetorical. 249 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: I really need to know. Why would the spirit lead 250 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: him into the wilderness. 251 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: And I thought about that over and over again, and 252 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: I realized the more I read it that it was 253 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: a repeat, because I remembered how Israel in the Old 254 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 3: Testament went through the wilderness too, not for forty days 255 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 3: and forty nights, but for forty years. And here's what 256 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 3: the enemy did to them when they were coming out 257 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 3: of Egypt. God was bringing them out of Egypt to 258 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: the Promised Land. 259 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: And on their way out of Egypt into the. 260 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 3: Promised Land, the devil told them a lie that they 261 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: could not. 262 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: Do what God had called them to do. 263 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 3: The devil has been telling you that same lie, has 264 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: any that you are not enough, and that you are 265 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 3: you are not enough, you are not loved. I said 266 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: this last week. But victory is found in the repeat. 267 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: And when you. 268 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: Begin to understand that's all the devil ever says to you, 269 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: You're not enough. It's not enough, they're not enough, You're 270 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 3: not loved. It's not enough, you're not loved. Unless you 271 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: do this, you can't be that. They won't love you 272 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: if they only love you because you're not enough, You're 273 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 3: not loved, You're not even enough for God to love 274 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 3: you unless you act a certain way. 275 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: You're not enough for God to. 276 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: Hear you unless you reach a certain level of spirituality 277 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 3: and scale yourself up to the highest heide of the 278 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: best Christian. It's not enough. You tried, but it's not enough, 279 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 3: and you're not loved. Now, those two lies play on 280 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: the loop in our mind. But in the case of 281 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: Israel going through the wilderness, I want to tell you something. 282 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: It was actually true. They were not enough for their 283 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: enemies without. 284 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 3: God, but they were not without God. And that's what 285 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: you forget. You forget that he's with you in the wilderness. 286 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 3: He's with you in the wilderness. He's with you in 287 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 3: your weakness. He's with you as you fight through this addiction. 288 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: He's with you as you resist temptation. He's with you 289 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 3: for that hard conversation you need to have. He's with 290 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 3: you as you care for somebody who doesn't appreciate you. 291 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 3: He is with you as you work through those bills 292 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 3: and try to get yourself back on some financial stable ground. 293 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 3: He's with you as you try to consider how am I. 294 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: Going to mention this so I can begin to deal 295 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: with it? Because I'm tired of caring. 296 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 3: He is with you in the dry place where you 297 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: haven't felt him for a really long time, and you're 298 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: starting to feel like, well, maybe something's wrong with me, 299 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 3: Maybe God has left me. But the Bible says that 300 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 3: Jesus was led into the wilderness by the spirit. It 301 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 3: says that the spirit led him, but it doesn't say 302 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 3: the spirit left him. The spirit led him to a 303 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: hard place, but the spirit, it did not leave him 304 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: in the hard place. The same spirit that led him 305 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 3: in the wilderness was there all forty days and forty nights. 306 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 3: And I know you need some things in your life 307 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 3: to get better. And I know you need some chains 308 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: and shackles to fall off your feet. And I know 309 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 3: you need God to turn some stones into rivers of water. 310 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 3: And I know you need God to do some things, 311 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 3: and he can and he will. But even until he does, 312 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 3: he's with you in this wilderness. 313 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: He's with you in this in between. 314 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 3: He didn't drop you off in the middle of your adversity. 315 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 3: He didn't leave you to figure this out by yourself. 316 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 3: He did not abandon you when you got attacked. 317 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: He's not waiting for you to get it together, to 318 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: come down and rescue you. He picks up. 319 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 3: The phone, and if you call him, he'll come. 320 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: If you call him, he'll come. If you say. 321 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 3: Jesus, he'll say, yes, I've done. 322 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: It a thousand times. I didn't feel like. 323 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 3: Calling on him, but I lifted my hands by faith, 324 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 3: not sight, bye, faith not feeling, and I called on 325 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 3: the Lord, and I stuck the Lord and he wards 326 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: and he answered. So I want to give you three 327 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: truths today to remember for new loops in your life. 328 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: And the first one is this. 329 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 3: I want you to shout it out everybody, say he's here. 330 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: Say that again. He's here. 331 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 3: Now in the verse I read you. He's not the 332 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: only one here. It's the devil talking. I'm not even 333 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 3: gonna write out his whole name. 334 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just put that D right there and you'll 335 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: know who I'm talking about. And then there's Jesus. 336 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 3: Hold up, I'm gonna do that in all caps. I 337 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 3: can't draw, but I can do that. Now, listen to me, 338 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 3: and listen to me. Close about this. It's a conversation 339 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 3: going back and forth in the wilderness. And the spirit 340 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 3: is with Jesus to defeat the enemy. The spirit is 341 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: with you to defeat the enemy. 342 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I love how we make it seem like 343 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 5: Jesus as our perfect risen savior, and he is never 344 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,239 Speaker 5: experienced difficulty, or at least you know, we may not 345 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 5: say that about Jesus because we know we went to 346 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 5: the cross. 347 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 3: Sometimes we act like that was the only time that 348 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: Jesus's life was hard. Jesus's life was hard the whole 349 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 3: time it was hard. This is the brink of his ministry. 350 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 3: He's thirty years old, and the spirit leads him in 351 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 3: the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. That's his 352 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 3: ministry apprenticeship. That's what the Lord gave him. That's what 353 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 3: his father gave him to prepare him. And so I 354 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 3: have recognized every time in my life that God was 355 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 3: about to do something huge. I had to go through 356 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 3: hell before I got there every time, and I passed 357 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: that along to you. In case you're going through hell, 358 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: you might be on the brink of something huge, and 359 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 3: the devil might know that, and he might be deploying 360 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 3: extra resources to try to get you to choke before 361 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 3: you arrive. 362 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: At your destiny. 363 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 3: Everything I ever released for God faced tremendous resistance. I 364 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 3: just say that in case it's been difficult for you 365 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: now With that note made, then Jesus was led by 366 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 3: the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the 367 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 3: devil after fasting forty days and forty nights. This has 368 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: to be the most obvious verse in the Bible. 369 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: He was hungry, and. 370 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 3: Yet it's not because Jesus is saying stuff that his 371 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: disciples like, I have food to eat that you know not. 372 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 3: But he still had a stomach and it was still empty. 373 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 3: I fasted forty days one time when we started the church. 374 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: Those were the hardest things I ever did. And people 375 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 3: told me before I did it, don't worry about it. 376 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: Once you get through the first three days, you don't 377 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 3: even think about food anymore. And they said it's not 378 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 3: hard after like day three. Let me tell you something, 379 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: every one of them, I rebuke your lying. 380 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: Spirit, talk about same lies, new loops. It was hard 381 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: the whole time. 382 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: I started dreaming about foods I don't even eat in 383 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 3: my normal life. I would be I would see brussels 384 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 3: sprouts and salivate. Now I don't even need bacon in them. 385 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 3: I just need the Brussels sprout. I'll eat it without oil, 386 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 3: without salt. The whole forty days. It was hard the 387 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: whole time. And you know, we think that the only 388 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 3: time that it was hard for Jesus was when he 389 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 3: went to the cross, because we read about him healing 390 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: blind eyes the highlight reel, and people who couldn't speak 391 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 3: spoke when he spoke for them to speak. Because whatever 392 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 3: he speaks to does whatever he says. If he speaks 393 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 3: to a sea, it's prints, if he speaks to a 394 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 3: mountain that leaps, whatever he speaks to does what it says, 395 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 3: except for us. Sometimes I'll come back to that in 396 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 3: a future series. But it was hard the whole time. 397 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 3: It was hard for him when he was tempted by 398 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 3: the devil in the wilderness. His life was hard ever 399 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 3: since he was a baby. Not only was he born 400 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 3: in a barn, but Harry tried to kill him from 401 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 3: the day he was little. He was on the rhine, 402 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 3: not from the devil, toward the purpose of God for 403 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: his life. So if it's been hard for you, that's okay. 404 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: And the devil will just get you stuck in that 405 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 3: get you stuck in how hard it is. So I'm 406 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 3: go ahead and put it there. It's hard, it's hard, 407 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 3: and you're like that's not a lie. 408 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you about to say that that's 409 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: not true. No, it's true. It's true. 410 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: It's just that if the enemy can get you to 411 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 3: go from a line to a loop, that instead of 412 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 3: going through the hard thing, you get stuck in the 413 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 3: hard thing. That instead of God delivering you through this season, 414 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: you get in this season and you dig down deeper, 415 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 3: and you actually define yourself by the difficulty of the season. 416 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: Let me speak to that for a moment. Do not 417 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 3: define yourself by the difficulty of the season. Define yourself 418 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: by the size of your God. Because greater is he 419 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: that is in you than he that's in the world. 420 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: So I'm not saying it's not hard. I'm just saying 421 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 3: he's bigger than it is. And I am also saying 422 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 3: that you don't only have a God who stands high 423 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 3: above the hard things in your life. You have a 424 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 3: God who became a human and the hard thing. 425 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: The Book of. 426 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 3: Hebrews, Chapter four, verse thirteen, about verse thirteen says something 427 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 3: very interesting. He says that that's not the right verse. 428 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 3: I don't know what the verse is there. It is 429 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 3: verse fourteen that I gave you earlier. Since we have 430 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: a great high priest. Everybody say, Jesus is high. 431 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: Who has ascended into heaven. 432 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 3: This is after his resurrection, Jesus the son of God. 433 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 3: Let us hold firmly to the faith we profess, for 434 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 3: we do not have a high priest who is unable 435 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 3: to empathize with our weaknesses. But we have one who 436 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 3: has been tempted in every way just as we are. 437 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: Yet he did not sin. Here's your shouting verse. 438 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence. 439 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 3: Somebody shout, He's here, so that we may receive mercy 440 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 3: and find grace to help us in our time of success, 441 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 3: our time of blessing, our time of wholeness, our time 442 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: of completeness. 443 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: All of that is true too. 444 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 3: But if you are in the hour of need right now, 445 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 3: I know a name that is. 446 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: Greater than your need. 447 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 3: I don't care what need you name name cancer, named bankruptcy, 448 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 3: name divorce, name hatred, name evil. 449 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: I know a name that is straight. And when on 450 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: bush he answers. 451 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 3: High five at least five people say, he answered, I 452 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: turned to the throne and he answered, he answered, He answered, 453 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 3: God saw humanity striving in our sin, trying to keep 454 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 3: the law and couldn't do it. Trying to be perfect 455 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 3: and couldn't do it, trying to keep the commandments and 456 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 3: couldn't do it. So he handled it himself. He's not 457 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 3: only a high priest, he became a human. Why he 458 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 3: came down to handle what you couldn't. Point number one says, 459 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 3: he's here. Somebody's shout, he's here. Point number two says, 460 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 3: it's handled. Somebody shout, its handled. I'm trying. If I 461 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 3: could get three people to agree with me, we could 462 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 3: get you out of this loop that the people of 463 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 3: God were in all the way from numbers thirteen. We 464 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 3: can't attack him. It's too hard for us. It's too 465 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 3: hard for us. 466 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: It's too hard for us. You know, sometimes we vent 467 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: about our problems to people. 468 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 3: Be careful who you vent to, because sometimes when you 469 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 3: start venting, start inventing. I studied, I study, I thought 470 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 3: about what I wanted to say. I wanted to tell 471 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 3: you how the Israelites looked at the land that God 472 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 3: wanted to give them. And remember, they turned something that 473 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 3: should have been as straight through into a forty year loop. 474 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 3: And it all started because they were venting. Numbers Chapter 475 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 3: thirteen out verse number thirty. Then Caleb's silence to people 476 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 3: before most said we should go up and take possession 477 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 3: of the land. For we can do it. I know 478 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 3: we've been slaves for a long time, but we can 479 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 3: do it. We're sons and daughters of God. 480 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: We can do this. 481 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 3: God is with uss. Somebody shout, he's here. 482 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: He's here. 483 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: Anything's possible if he's here. Did you see what he 484 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: just did to the sea we came through. When the 485 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 3: devil gets rhetorical, you get historical, start pointing to stuff 486 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 3: that God already did and remind him how big your God, 487 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 3: God is. I got a word for somebody. He already 488 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 3: handled it. So it's hard, but but that's how you 489 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 3: break that spiral. That's how you break out of that loop. 490 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 3: That's how you break out of this stupid, crazy stuff 491 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: that the devil's been feeding you, just like he tried 492 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 3: to feed Jesus. You break it with a butt. 493 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: Where is y'all's mind? It's hard, but he's here. 494 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 3: I want everybody that puts that on a post it 495 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 3: note somewhere around your. 496 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: House this week to tag me. But I don't have 497 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: social media, so I won't see it. But somebody will 498 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: print it. Out and give it to me. 499 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 3: And one of the reasons I don't have social media 500 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: is because if I had social media on my phone 501 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: right up now, I wouldn't be able to preach discermon 502 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 3: to you. Because in this season of my life, I 503 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 3: have got to be very, very careful about the voices. 504 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 6: That I allow to have weight in my life, because 505 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 6: I refuse to let the voice of a human keep 506 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 6: me from hearing from Heaven. 507 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: I must speak what God says is written. 508 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 3: But tag tag me anyway somebody will somebody will print 509 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 3: it out for me. 510 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: Hashtag new loops, hashtag less news, new loops. 511 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 3: Hashtag more word less news. I am saying nothing, but 512 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 3: what God says is more important than what do you 513 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: think what any human opinion says. So be careful because 514 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 3: if you keep venting, you might start inventing. You might 515 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: make an enemy out of somebody who is actually your 516 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 3: brother or sister in Christ. Okay, nw loops is hard, 517 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 3: But he's here. He's right in the middle of all 518 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 3: of it. His name is Jesus, and he's here, and 519 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 3: also is handled Who told the sea? The sprint rhetorical question. 520 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: It says, historical question, God did, who told the mountain 521 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: to move. God did, And I know it is hard, 522 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 3: but can you believe it is handled? Here's what Caleb said. 523 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: He said, we can certainly do this. God's got us. 524 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 3: There is a Caleb inside you. There is a Caleb 525 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 3: inside of you to tell you that you got it, 526 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 3: to tell you that you don't. 527 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: But he does. 528 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 3: To tell you that you don't have to respond to 529 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 3: temporary pressure by making decisions that are going to set 530 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: you back for your destiny. 531 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: The Lord wants you to know its handle. 532 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 3: And in verse thirty one, the people start responding. The 533 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 3: men who have gone up said, we can't attack those people. 534 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: They are stronger than we are. It's too hard. It's 535 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 3: too hard. Verse thirty two, And they spread among the 536 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 3: Israelites bad report about the land they explored. And they said, 537 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 3: the land we explored devours those living in it. All 538 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 3: the people we saw there are of great size. That's true, 539 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 3: and they're venting. But what's for thirty thirty three We 540 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 3: saw the Nephilm that the sins of the Nact come 541 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 3: from the Nephlum. We seem like grasshoppers in our own eyes, 542 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 3: and we look the same to them. Well, now you're 543 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 3: inventing because you don't know how you look to them. 544 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: But if you look like that in your eyes, you 545 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: start inventing. 546 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,479 Speaker 3: There have been times in my marriage where I started 547 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 3: treating Holly like my enemy because of my own insecurity. 548 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 3: I start pushing her away because of something in me 549 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 3: that I don't want her to see. So now I'm 550 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 3: treating the person that God gave me as my help, 551 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 3: and I am treating them like they are. 552 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: The person that I'm assigned to fight. 553 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 3: Is your insecurity, leading you to believe your enemy, to 554 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 3: create new enemies, to join with the words of the enemy. 555 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: Jesus would have none of it. 556 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 3: When the devil spoke to Jesus, Jesus talked back. Jesus 557 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 3: talked back, and it was hard, and he was hungry, 558 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 3: but he understood that the spirit led him to the wilderness. 559 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 3: But the spirit did not leave him in the wilderness, 560 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 3: and he understood that his father already had a plan. Now, 561 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 3: the devil has a plan and God has a plan. 562 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: Which one are you going to go with? 563 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 3: One plan is to satisfy you temporarily in short term, 564 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 3: and the other is for you to trust God with 565 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 3: your tomorrow. 566 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: Because he's the one who's already there. 567 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 3: The tempter came to him. He was hungry because he 568 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 3: was human. He's high and holy, but he was born 569 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 3: as a human to pay the price for our sin. 570 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 3: And the tempter came to him and said and said, 571 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 3: if you are the son of God, tell these stones. 572 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a stone. 573 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 3: If you are the son of God, tell the stone 574 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 3: to become bred. 575 00:34:53,160 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: If you are the son of God, do something. 576 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 3: To take something that's not supposed to be something and 577 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 3: make it something that it can't be. Now we already 578 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,720 Speaker 3: know that if Jesus tells the stone to be bread, 579 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 3: it'll be pumpernickel in a minute. It'll be rye bread 580 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 3: in a minute before he says the first syllable, it 581 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 3: will be the softest, warmest loaf of bread. Jesus could 582 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 3: not only speak to the stone and make it bread. 583 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 3: He could speak to heaven and rain down butter on 584 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 3: the bread. 585 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 1: He could speak to. 586 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 3: The sun and the sun would toast the slice of 587 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 3: bread that wasn't there before that was a stone. 588 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: He could do that. 589 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 3: But watch what he said in verse four. I think 590 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 3: this is powerful for our lives, Jesus answered. Jesus answered, 591 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 3: he's fully human, and he's fully God. 592 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: That means he's able to be. 593 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 3: Tempted, but he's also able to overcome. So when the 594 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 3: tempter spoke, watch this. 595 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: Answered. 596 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 3: It is written, man shall not live on bread alone, 597 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 3: but on every word that comes from the mouth of God, 598 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 3: the God who spoke to the sea, and it split, 599 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 3: the God who spoke to the mountain, and it left 600 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 3: the God who spoke you into existence. 601 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: That's what I live off of. That's what I go by. 602 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: That's my new loop, what God spoke. 603 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 3: And any time that I get stuck, anytime that I'm 604 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 3: going around and around this is. 605 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: So messy, I shall probably just start all over. 606 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 3: Anytime that I feel like what is against me is 607 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 3: greater than what is for me. 608 00:36:52,840 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: Here we go, same lies loop. Watch the lie. It's 609 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 1: not enough. 610 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 3: You've got to turn the stone into bread because God 611 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 3: won't provide for you. 612 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: It's not enough. 613 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 3: But at the heart of this chunk something very interesting 614 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 3: if you are the son of God, because not only 615 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 3: it's not enough, but you're not loved, and that there's 616 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 3: something that you have to do to get God to 617 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 3: love you. But Jesus knew better. Jesus knew not only 618 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 3: he's here not only it's handled, but Jesus knew. 619 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm his. 620 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 3: Think about the absurdity of the devil's impision turn a 621 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 3: stone into bread. Jesus already is both of those things. 622 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: Peter said it this way. 623 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 3: The stone that the builders rejecting has become the chief 624 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 3: corner stone, the rock that Moses drank from in the wilderness, 625 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 3: the one that God pulled into a pool. Jesus is 626 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,439 Speaker 3: what the devil is trying to tempt him to turn 627 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 3: something into. And don't even get me started about bread, 628 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 3: because Jesus is the vibe. Jesus is the bread. Jesus 629 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 3: is the resurrection. 630 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 7: Jesus is the way, the truth, the Jesus is the 631 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 7: good shepherd. 632 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 3: Jesus is the Gate, and Jesus is the bread. So devil, 633 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 3: you can't get me what's already mine. 634 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 7: I belove to God. 635 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 3: I'm his and he's got me. I'm his, and he 636 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 3: knows me. I'm his, and he chose me. I'm his, 637 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 3: and no man can put me from his hand. I'm his, 638 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 3: I'm called, I'm his, I'm. 639 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 8: Sustained, I'm his. 640 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 3: I'm got grace for. 641 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 1: This season because I am his. 642 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 7: And he's here, and it's handled because I'm his, because 643 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 7: he's here, and it's handle because I'm his. 644 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: Till your neighbor be nice to me. 645 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 3: My father is a great God, tell him be good 646 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 3: to me because my. 647 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: God is a great king, and he's here in this handle. 648 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 3: When I do this, receive the word of the Lord. 649 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 3: My friend, receive the word of the Lord.

Come on, let's 660 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 3: sit in that for a moment. For every devil this's 661 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,879 Speaker 3: been lieing to you. The devil came at Jesus three 662 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 3: different ways. He told him, if you're the son of God, 663 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 3: what you mean if I'm the son of God. Y'all 664 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 3: never read Matthew chapter three, verse sixteen when you're about to, 665 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 3: because the Bible says that before Jesus was led into 666 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 3: the wilderness, he went through the water, and as soon 667 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 3: as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. 668 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,439 Speaker 3: At that moment, heaven was opened, and he saw the 669 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 3: spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 670 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 3: He's here, He's here, And a voice from heaven. Ain't 671 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 3: it crazy? One verse before he had to deal with 672 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 3: the voice from hell, God gave him the voice from heaven. 673 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 3: You need a fresh encounter with Jesus. You need a 674 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,479 Speaker 3: fresh revelation of Jesus. You need a fresh word from God, 675 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 3: a meditation in your heart. If you don't meditate on 676 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 3: his word, you're gonna medicate on other stuff, and you 677 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 3: are gonna choke on stones because you don't have any brand. 678 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 3: And a voice from heaven said, this is my son 679 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 3: whom I love. 680 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: With him, I am well pleased. 681 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,280 Speaker 3: So when the devil Matthew four verse one, started tempting 682 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 3: Jesus in the wilderness, and in verse two, the Bible says, 683 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 3: after fasting forty days and forty nights, not forty years, 684 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 3: because Jesus was doing for them what they could not 685 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 3: do for themselves. Don't you get it? He was in 686 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,439 Speaker 3: the wilderness for you. He was handling it for you. 687 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 3: He was achieving a righteousness that you and I could 688 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 3: never achieve. He was paying the price for you. That's 689 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 3: why the spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, so that 690 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 3: you would never be there alone again. And when the 691 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,919 Speaker 3: devil said, if you are the son of God turned 692 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 3: something into something, Jesus said, I'm not turning anything into anything. 693 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 3: I already know who I am because I'm still dripping 694 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 3: with the water of the affirmation of my Father in 695 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 3: this dry place. 696 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: So I don't think so. I don't think so devil. 697 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't think so devil. 698 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm just gonna be depressed Devil. I 699 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 3: don't think I'm just gonna live the rest of my 700 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,840 Speaker 3: life reliving and rerunning this and repeating this and dredging 701 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 3: this back up. 702 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't think so devil. 703 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm gonna let the world make me 704 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 3: mad and angry and cynical devil. 705 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: I don't think so devil. I know I'm his. 706 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 3: I'm a royal people, I'm a chosen priesthood. 707 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm a holy nation. I belong to God. And he 708 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 1: came at him three ways I'm almost done. 709 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 9: I know y'all want me to preach for four more hours. 710 00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 9: Come on, four more hours, Come on, four more If 711 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 9: Jesus could fast forty days, y'all can say five more minutes. 712 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 3: In this message, he's here say it. 713 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: It's hard, but. 714 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 3: He's how you get the point. And it's hard, but 715 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 3: it's handled. Uhh D definitely comes before L in the 716 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 3: word handle. I do know that, but I was confused 717 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 3: when it said I'm his, because that's what the Lord 718 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 3: gave me. That he said was more important than anything else, 719 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 3: because if you don't believe that you're loved by him, 720 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 3: you will be trying to turn everything else in your 721 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 3: life into loaves. 722 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: And he is my favorite verse. 723 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,800 Speaker 3: After the devil tempts Jesus three times because remember defeat 724 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 3: in victory or in the repeat, so he's not just 725 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 3: gonna do it once, not just twice, not just three times. 726 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 3: But after he told him, hey, throw yourself off the 727 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 3: building and the angels will catch you. Jesus like I 728 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 3: know the angels on a first name basis, and I 729 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 3: do not need to do. 730 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: Something to get the angels to come. 731 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 3: If I ask my father to send angels, they're already 732 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 3: on the way. 733 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: Ooh, touch three. 734 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 3: People say they're already on the way.

I believe 777 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 3: that Jesus, as human and as hungry as he was, 778 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 3: prayed to his father and said, father, I need you. 779 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 3: And when he called his father he answered and just 780 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 3: because the answer. 781 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: Hasn't arrived yet does not mean God didn't send it. 782 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 3: But in this season, if you start trying to turn 783 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 3: stones into bread and substitute other human relationships for your 784 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 3: relationship with God, you will miss your angel because you 785 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 3: ate something that was never meant to be eaten. 786 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 1: Stand on your feet.

Turn right, I don't think so, and listen 837 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 3: to me. I want to give you this one because 838 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 3: I need to use it because if something bad happens 839 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:42,799 Speaker 3: to me, I want to redeem it. 840 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,959 Speaker 1: And there's no really bad part of this story because 841 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:46,399 Speaker 1: all I did. 842 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 3: I called Holly, I said, hey, this is weird. I 843 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 3: went where you sent me to go before you left. 844 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 3: But I need you to resend it to me now 845 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 3: that you're there. Because the address that we had, I 846 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 3: got to. 847 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 1: The destination that it was taking me to. 848 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 3: But the destination that was taking me to was not 849 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 3: the destination. 850 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 1: Where you are? 851 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,839 Speaker 3: I said, so what do I do? She said, I'm 852 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 3: gonna drop you a new pin because she's here. Now, 853 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 3: everybody say he's here. 854 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: Because she's here now. 855 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 3: I said, all right, and then I put it in 856 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 3: and it was fifteen minutes away. 857 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,880 Speaker 1: I fifteen minutes off and then I drove somewhere and 858 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 1: then the GPS took me down this very strange dirt road. Yeah, 859 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,479 Speaker 1: it was the weirdest thing. The sign said keep out, 860 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 1: and I went through anyway because the GPS told me to. 861 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,160 Speaker 3: I'm just obeying the GPS, you know. And of course 862 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 3: it's a dead end. It's some weird looking government building. 863 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 3: I don't even know where I was or what was 864 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 3: about to happen to me. I don't know what got 865 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 3: in my GPS. So I called her again. I said, okay, 866 00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 3: let's try it different this time. You're already there. Tell 867 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 3: me how to get there from where I am. And 868 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:06,719 Speaker 3: she said, okay, well you it's the road, and she's 869 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 3: pretty good with directions. So she started describing it to 870 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 3: me because she was there, and she said, he just 871 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 3: stay on the phone with me for a minute. She said, 872 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 3: all right, turn here. There's a long road. There's a 873 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,439 Speaker 3: classic car show. Don't turn into that, keep driving, because 874 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 3: she'd already seen all that, because she was there, because 875 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 3: we have not a high priest who is unable to 876 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 3: sympathize or empathize with our weaknesses, because he was tempted. 877 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: In the wilderness. 878 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 3: And so. 879 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: Then she really really put the cherry on top. 880 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,359 Speaker 3: She said, I'm wearing my bright yellow hat, and you 881 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 3: can see me, and I'll wave you in, and i 882 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 3: will block this pickup truck that's. 883 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 1: Trying to take this parking space until you get here. 884 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 10: And I saw that yellow hat, and I saw my 885 00:54:55,719 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 10: woman standing there waiting for me, and I realized what 886 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:02,600 Speaker 10: was wrong. 887 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,840 Speaker 1: In that moment. I didn't need a pen. I needed 888 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 1: a person. I needed somebody who was already there to 889 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 1: guide me in. 890 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 3: Now, you keep trying to fight temptation in your own strength, 891 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 3: you're gonna stay lost. You're gonna think you're taking the 892 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:22,919 Speaker 3: right turns, you're gonna think. 893 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:23,840 Speaker 1: You're doing the right things. 894 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 3: But Jesus said, hey, I'll be standing in your next 895 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 3: five minutes. 896 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,800 Speaker 1: I'll be standing in your Tuesday.
