00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,680

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters who have gathered, and I speak it

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: over everyone who may not be able to feel it

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: right now that you are able to do immeasurably more

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: for every I can't. We have a great I Am,

17
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: we're not going to stop worshiping. We might stop singing,

18
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: but this service is just getting started. I thank you

19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: that there is a powerful plowing word that has been

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: planted in my spirit for this occasion, and I pray

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: that today you would help.

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: Me to deliver it just how you would say it

23
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: through my mouth, through my vocal cords, but your words,

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: your thoughts, your heart in Jesus' name, Amen.

25
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Hug seventeen Bulligion, Come a big hawk raised the Lord,

26
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: raised the Lord. Don't take your seat yet. After you

27
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: gave out all the hugs, you can stand, clap your

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: hands and give God glory for bringing you through another day,

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: another week. It feels kind of fired up today. It

30
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: feels like we're getting a little pre Elevation Night's annointing.

31
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,480

41
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: That's never happened. Indeed, the Lord can do anything that's crazy.

42
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: I said, La no shout, Seattle, no shout. I said, Boise. Okay,

50
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna load y'all all up on a plane like

51
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Oprah did one time and take you with us. Until then,

52
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: you just have to pray for us. And I also

53
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: want to celebrate because it's not a small thing that

54
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: over a thousand people were baptized in our church class school. Incredible. Man,

55
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: if you knew the starting point of this ministry, you

56
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: would know how much that means to me. That's amazing,

57
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: that's amazing. And I think one of the reasons that

58
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: the worship is so powerful today. I think the ladies

59
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: lest some residual, annoying thing from your life. One of

60
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: our worship leaders said, leading room in a leading excuse me,

61
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: leading worship in a room full of women is a

62
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: cheat code. They're just much more expressive, and that's crazy

63
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: to me. But it's absolutely amazing, Holly, God used you

64
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: in a great way. Thank you for the word, Thank

65
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: you for your vision, for your leadership, all the moments

66
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: that will continue to unfold because of the moment that

67
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: you may possible through your faith. We celebrate you, and

68
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: today I'm gonna do my best to get in the

69
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: slipstream of what God spoke and preach a word to

70
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: you today. I prayed that you would lean in to

71
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: receive it last week when I left you, I left

72
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: you in the muddy puddles of the Jordan River. Let's

73
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: go back there for a moment. From Joshua chapter four.

74
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: I'll be sharing with you today from Joshua chapter four,

75
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: verses fifteen through Joshua five, and only one verse from

76
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Joshua five, verse one. Let's take a moment to remember

77
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: how much this meant to me when God showed it

78
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: to me, so I can appreciate to you from that

79
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: same place, only reason I bring my notes up here.

80
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: I know somebody said, why do you take all those

81
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: notes up there? We don't see you look at them,

82
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: And it's true. I get into it and I forget

83
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: to look at the notes. But at least seeing it

84
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: reminds me how excited I was writing it. And then

85
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: I can come at it and remember when I was

86
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: scribbling this, I was picturing us sharing in the word together.

87
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: So what an honor to share God's word with you today.

88
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm so thankful for the opportunity. And wherever you are,

89
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: even if you're online today, the word is no less effective.

90
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: So get ready to receive it. And made this word

91
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: reach you right where you are. Joshua, Chapter four, verse fifteen,

92
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: say I'm ready. Then the Lord said to Joshua, wash

93
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: my hands. Then the Lord said to Joshua, okay, so

94
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: picture the scripture visually as well as verbally. Then the

95
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: Lord said to Joshua verse sixteen, command the priests, carrying

96
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: the ark of the Covenant Law to come up out

97
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: of the Jordan. So Joshua commanded the priests come up

98
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: out of the Jordan. And the priests came up out

99
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of

100
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: the Lord. No sooner had they set their feet on

101
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: the dry ground, than the of the Jordan returned to

102
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: their place and ran at floodstage as before. On the

103
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: tenth day of the first month, the people went up

104
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: from the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua. Joshua said

105
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: to the priests, and then the people went up. So

106
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: watch I'm doing like this. Boom, boom, boom. The people

107
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on

108
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: the eastern border of Jericho. On the eastern border of Jericho,

109
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: what do you know about Jericho? Walls do fall? Somebody

110
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: say it, walls do fall now, but before the walls

111
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: of Jericho can fall, and before the Battle of Jericho

112
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: can be won, because this will be the first fight

113
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: for the children of God to occupy the Promised Lam.

114
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Before their first fight, Joshua is setting the frame verse twenty.

115
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: Verse twenty. Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones

116
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to

117
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: the Israelites in the future, when your descendants asked their parents,

118
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: we've gone from the Lord said to Joshua. To Joshua

119
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: said to the priest to the priest did it for

120
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: the people. For the people are doing something that will

121
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: not even accomplish a purpose that may be seen in

122
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: their own lives, but in a generation that is yet

123
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: to come in the future. When your descendants asked their

124
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: parents what do these stones mean, tell them, Israel, cross

125
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: the Jordan on dry ground, for the Lord, your God

126
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: dried up the Jordan before you, until you had crossed over.

127
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he

128
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: had done to the Red Sea, when he dried it

129
00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: up before us until we had crossed over. He did this.

130
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: That's the best thing I've read in a long time.

131
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: Tell somebody he did this. So we were testifying last week,

132
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: we're talking about rescue your testimony. Rescue your testimony from

133
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: the clutches of depression. Rescue your testimony from the clutches

134
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: of despair, Rescue your testimony from the regrets of your past,

135
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: and testify to your neighbors. Say he did this. He

136
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: did this. I'm standing here because he did this. Come on,

137
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: let's have a testimony service real quick. How many No,

138
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: God did yes, let's practice. Let's see if you rescued

139
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: your testimony last week. I'm gonna ask you a question,

140
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: and you say, what you think? Who opened your prison doors?

141
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: God did? Then say it, say God did? Who dried

142
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: up your ocean floors? Think about that thing? Who saved

143
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: you and set you free, Who gave you victory right,

144
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: who gave you another day, who made you another way,

145
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: who gave you the breath of prays, who gave you

146
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: a brand new name?

147
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: Ah, somebody shot God did put.

148
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: It in the comments? Not did Now? He did this

149
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: so that all the peoples of the earth might know

150
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: that the hand of the Lord is powerful, and so

151
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: that you might always fear the Lord, your God. The

152
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: final verse I'm going to read, and then I'll tell

153
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: you what we're going to talk about today. But we're

154
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: already talking because God is speaking now. When all the

155
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Canaanite emrich kings west of the Jordan and the kings

156
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: along the coast heard how the Lord had dried up

157
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over,

158
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: their hearts melted in fear. It's no longer just the

159
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: people of God who know who God is. It's the

160
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: enemies to Ah. I see this, and they no longer

161
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: had the courage to face the Israelites today God wants

162
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: to do something very special in your life. He wants

163
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: to reverse the ripple. That's the word of the Lord

164
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: and Father. As we declare it today. We walk in it,

165
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: we stand in it, we decree it, and we believe that.

166
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: Most of all, we thank you for it, because only

167
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: you could do it in Jesus' name. Amen, you may

168
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: be seated. You may be seated reverse the ripple. You

169
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: will know what that means in about thirty two minutes.

170
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: I do my job because the Lord has some things

171
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: that he wants to turn around your life. Yeah, rescue

172
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: our testimony, and God is going to reverse the ripple.

173
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: I wish we could teach this on the lake. It

174
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: would be a good illustration. Right, how many of you

175
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: like the lake? How many you got a boat? You

176
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: could take me out on the lake. I'm gonna hitch

177
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: you up. You got how many of you? How many

178
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: you have a boat. So if we went out on

179
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: the lake, I could demonstrate the ripple effect. Right, you

180
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's when one thing happens and

181
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: another thing happens, and another thing happens. And we use

182
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: it metaphorically, but it would be good if we could

183
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: be at the lake because we could. We could get

184
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: a rock, and then we could drop the rock and

185
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: we could watch the ripple, and then I could teach

186
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: the lesson. I could say, and just like this rock

187
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: hit the water, and we wouldn't even have to get

188
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: in the water because I know it's getting kind of cold.

189
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: We could just do it from the shore right there

190
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: in your boat. We could drop the rock, watch the

191
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: rip and we could talk about how things in our

192
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: life happen that cause a ripple. And sometimes it's not

193
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: even until you're living in the ripple that you realize

194
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: the rock was dropped. If we're at the lake, and

195
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: maybe you could have me a bottle of diet coke.

196
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Don't text me about aspertain, I don't care. I've made

197
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: peace with Aspertame, and we would talk about the ripple

198
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: effects of decisions that you and I have both made,

199
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: words that we spoken. Man, I could probably teach a

200
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: whole leadership class just from a rock and a ripple.

201
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: Many times as a leader, I never saw myself as

202
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: being that important, and I don't think I am important.

203
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: I think God is important, but I think he uses

204
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: people in important ways. And I think that when you

205
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: speak for God your word's way more because many times

206
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: I said things to people in passing as a leader,

207
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: and for good I said them and they kept those

208
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: things with them for three years, good and bad, good

209
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: and bad. And one lady I met one time. I'm

210
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: not going to take a long time with this setup,

211
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: but I want us to get at the lake. Dropped

212
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: a rock, We see the ripple. A lady one time

213
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: told me she kept a voicemail that I sent her

214
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: when her husband died. She kept it for four years.

215
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: Never met her one time on the Before you get

216
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: too impressed with me, because I'm just ride around leaving

217
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: voice memos, praying for people all the time. My kids

218
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: have told me things I said that I said because

219
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: they were true, but the way I said it, it

220
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: stuck with them in a way that they weren't ready

221
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: to hear it Like that, And with all three of

222
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: my kids and with my wife, I can go back

223
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: to times where I spoke something not realizing the weight

224
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: of the rock that I dropped and the ripple that

225
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: it calls for the person that I spoke to. So

226
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: now I got to walk into situations and scenarios and

227
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: take responsibility for my ripple. That's a whole word, take

228
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: responsibility for your ripple. The things you just say passing,

229
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm just speaking my mind. Well, why don't

230
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: you just speak your mind inside, do a little internal

231
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: monologue and scream in your pillow. But make sure that

232
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: you respect you're calling enough to take responsibility for your ripple.

233
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: When the Lord said to Joshua, and Joshua said to

234
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: the priest, and the priest led the people, and the

235
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: people demonstrated God's stathfulness in a way that even impressed

236
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: their enemies. We are watching the ripple effect of a

237
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: revelation from God. The very fact that we are sitting

238
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: here today preaching about an incident that happened, an event

239
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: that occurred this long ago go proves my point the

240
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: power of a ripple, the ripple effect of your thoughts

241
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: leading to your actions, leading to your habits, leading to

242
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: your character becoming concrete, so that what you call destiny

243
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: later was actually a decision when the rock was dropped.

244
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: And yet, wouldn't it be nice if life were as

245
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: simple spiritually as it is physically, Because if we were

246
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: at the lake doing this lesson, we could look at

247
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: the rock and we could predict with a few inches,

248
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: you know how big the ripple would be. If we

249
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: had a few minutes, we could drop a little rock,

250
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: a big rock, a medium rock, and we could start saying,

251
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, this one's gonna ripple. I'm just saying the

252
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: bigger the rock was, the bigger the ripple would be Physically. Spiritually,

253
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: it's a little different. You never can tell looking at

254
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: the rock how big the ripple is going to be.

255
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: Not in the Kingdom of God, so that Jesus walks

256
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: around saying things like, if you have the faith of

257
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: a mustard seed, you can move a mountain. What kind

258
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: of mustard seed moves a mountain? A supernatural one, one

259
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: that has been watered by the word of God, one

260
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: that has been cultivated by a heart of faith. What

261
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: kind of lunch has the power to provide for the

262
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: physical hunger of five thousand You would think such a

263
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: little lunch could maybe only feed a little boy. But

264
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: when God dits it, the ripple becomes something that you

265
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: would have never realized. Oh, I feel like preaching, because

266
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: a rock in the hands of a shepherd should not

267
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: bring down a nine foot giant. But you can't tell

268
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: the size of the ripple from the size of this

269
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: rock if it's in God's hands. So we came to

270
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: remind the devil today that my rock might be little,

271
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: but a little rock can make a big ripple if

272
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: God gets a hold of them. Yeah, let's switch this

273
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: thing around. Let's stop looking at the size of our resource,

274
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: the size of our strength, the size of our knowledge,

275
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: the scope of our understanding to determine what God can do.

276
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: Let's stop letting the waves of unbelief block us from

277
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: the reality of the ocean of God's provision. Yeah. Yeah,

278
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: let's reverse the ripple. And what I mean by that

279
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: when I say reverse the ripple, well, I mean a

280
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: few things. Let me break it down a little bit.

281
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: The first thing that I mean by reverse the ripple

282
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: is that instead of starting with what you see, start

283
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: with what God has said. Life changing, life changing right there,

284
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: just if you would start with what God said. And

285
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: many times, we like the Nation of Israel and Joshua

286
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: chapter four, come to places in our own lives where

287
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: we need God to do something and apologize if I'm

288
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: not preaching to you right now that if He doesn't

289
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: do it. So this is not like I need God

290
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: to help me wake up on time. You sent alarm

291
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: clock for that. But this is something different. And one

292
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: of the things that I respect about the Bible is

293
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: that it will repeat something over and over again because

294
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: we learn through repetition. And if you look at this

295
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: Joshua chapter four, there are several times that God tells Joshua,

296
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: take these stones out of the water, kind of like

297
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: they're building an altar. Okay, like Holly preached on reflect

298
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: about the altar. Go on her YouTube and watch that

299
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: message and wear your steel toed boots because she was

300
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: stepping on our toes. But she did it so sweetly.

301
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: She did it in ballet flats. It was unbelievable. And

302
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: the Lord is telling Joshua, like, before you get to

303
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: your first fight, I want you to approach it from

304
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: a place of thinking about your future. Now, this is marvelous.

305
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: Frame the fight that you're facing from a place of

306
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: future faith. And that is often very hard, right because

307
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: we're just in the moment and knowing in the moment.

308
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: Remember it's like that rock in that ripple, knowing in

309
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: the moment what the ripple is going to be. It's

310
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: not always predictable in the spirit, is it? Is it

311
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: you came to church? Because she was cute and asked

312
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: you to come. Then you messed around and got too

313
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: close to the boat, and Jesus hooked you and pulled

314
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: you in, and now you're one of us. Boy, God

315
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: is tricky with that ripple. God is tricky with that ripple.

316
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: You didn't even know. I was just gonna go. So

317
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: I just just going to get to shut up, And

318
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: now I'm bringing people. I don't know what happened. Tell

319
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: your neighbor. It's the ripples, the ripples. To ripple, it's

320
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: the ripple. It's the ripples. The ripple. God will drop something.

321
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: God will just put you somewhere. God will drop you somewhere.

322
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: You will think that you're there because it's a new job.

323
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: And then you meet Gene, and Gene is going through chemotherapy,

324
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: and you went through chemotherapy. So now you minister to

325
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: Gene out of what you went through, so that you

326
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: can comfort him with the comfort by which you have

327
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: been comforted. This is the ripple, the ripple, the ripple,

328
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: the ripple, the ripple. And by the way, what if

329
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: we did that more often? What if we started asking God,

330
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: what do you want to do? Not just for me

331
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: but through me? God who can I touch you touched me?

332
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Who can I help you healed me? Who can I

333
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: be a blessing to you? Blessed me? When are you

334
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna hand somebody a fifty dollars bill one time? In

335
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: set a waiting on one? When will you be the ripple?

336
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: This is not my message, so pace yourself. I'm just

337
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: setting up this idea of reverse the ripple, reverse the ripple.

338
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: And I have learned in my life that if I

339
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: do not consider please listen to me. If I do

340
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: not consider causes, I will spend my life chasing consequences.

341
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: Consider the cause, or you will spend the rest of

342
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: your life managing consequences. Consider the cause, or you can

343
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: spend the rest of your life looking for tips on

344
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: TikTok for how to be more peaceful. But after you

345
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: have done everything TikTok told you to do, I mean

346
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: you can do everything. You could take your walk barefoot

347
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: on the grass, walk backwards, barefoot on the grass, sipping

348
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: of protein smoothie with collagens in the smoothie. You can

349
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: do all of that. You can do red light, blue light,

350
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: black light, blue light, stroke light, you can do all

351
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: the lights on your face. You can do all of it.

352
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: You can meditate, you can pontificate, you can blow be eight,

353
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: you can hyperventilate because you are not getting peace until

354
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: you consider the source. You get all attempts you want,

355
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: but until you get the truth, you will not come

356
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: through this. Jordan, here's what I'm trying to say. You

357
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: can't fix the ripple till you find the rock. I'm

358
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: appreciate this in Boise too. Tell them get ready. You

359
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: can't fix the ripple till you find the rock. I

360
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of religion is ripple management, behavior modification,

361
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: empty tradition. God, I promise I'll never do it again

362
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: until three point thirty, and it's three twenty five right now.

363
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: That's ripple management. That's white knuckling, not worship. Ripple management

364
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: cannot bring you to a place of restoration. It can

365
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: only bring you to a place of relief temporarily. So

366
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: what are the areas in your life right now where

367
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: you are trying to fix ripples but you don't even

368
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: know what rock was dropped that cost it to begin with.

369
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: This is like quoting Bible versus on top of trauma

370
00:24:52,400 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: that you won't deal with. This is like whitch in

371
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: friend groups. Every time they see what's really secret hidden

372
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: in you and call it out and confront it, It's

373
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna get quieter and quiet. It's gonna be a reverse

374
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: ripple today. Usually we start small and get big. Were

375
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: going the other way today. We're reversing the ripple today

376
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: until we get down to what is the thing that

377
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: was dropped that caused you to do it? What was

378
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: dropped that caused me to do it? Why did I

379
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: lose my temper because they're annoying? Really because the people

380
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: at work were annoying, but you didn't go off on

381
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: them because you knew you couldn't get away with it.

382
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: You went off on them at home, not because they're annoying,

383
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: but because you know they'll forgive you. And the real

384
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: rock that made you do it was the fact that

385
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: you don't take responsibility for it. And until we get

386
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: real about this stuff, we will spend our entire lives

387
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: riding the waves of our ripples going I'm so anxious,

388
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious. Well, cut your thumb off.

389
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: Jesus said it'd be better to lose your whole hand

390
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: then go to help. So I'd rather fix it. I'd

391
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: rather fix it wear the rock drop than live the

392
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: rest of my life frustrated by the ripples it You

393
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: say this is just an Old Testament story, are you

394
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy out of your mind? Ridiculous? Do you not

395
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: understand that this is the entire threat of the New Testament.

396
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: It is law versus grace, It is us never really understanding.

397
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: And I hope to come back to this in a

398
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: moment if this sermon comes full circle. But speaking of

399
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: full circle, there is a place called Gilgal and Joshua

400
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: chapter four. If you've never heard of it, you can

401
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: be forgiven. But the word gilgal actually means circle. And

402
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: isn't it interesting in a passage that demonstrates the power

403
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: of the Lord spoke to Joshua, Joshua spoke to the priest,

404
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: The priest spoke to the people. The people did what

405
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: God told them, and it was a demonstration to the

406
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: nations that didn't even know God. Isn't it interesting that

407
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: circle after circle after circle after concentric circles, And let

408
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: us not forget about the circle of the generation that

409
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: isn't even old enough to ask the question yet that

410
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: is being affected by their faith or lack thereof, which

411
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: brings us back to the Red Sea, which was the

412
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: central motif of Israel's identity. Now Rugeman says that it

413
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: is the I think his exact wording is the primal narrative,

414
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: but I just I like the simplified things. So core

415
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: story that better. Primal narrative. I sound like you got

416
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: to pay to hear about something like that, and you

417
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: didn't pay anything to get in here today. So core

418
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: story and when God brought them through the Red Sea

419
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: was their core story. In fact, even when Joshua says,

420
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: go get some rocks, tell your neighbor, get some rocks

421
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: to tell your kids what God did, why would he

422
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: think like this. Surely you have more important things to do, namely,

423
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: when they get to Gilgal, they got to cut off

424
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: everybody's foreskin because none of these people have been circumcised yet.

425
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to illustrate how this whole text

426
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: is circular. But this all has to happen at Gilgal.

427
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: But before you get to Guild, go listen to me good.

428
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: Before you get to Gilgal, before you go to Jericho,

429
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: before you even get to the place of cutting away,

430
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. Before you go in, get some

431
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: rocks to tell your kids what God did. I like that.

432
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: Get some rocks to tell your kids what God did,

433
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: and you're going to tell them what God did, not

434
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: what you did, because all you did was walk. Y'all.

435
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: We take too much credit. Sometimes. I see everybody of

436
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: hustle and grind on Instagram, but I saw you also.

437
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: I saw you hustle and grind. But I also saw

438
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: you hide and grumble and groan and grieve. I saw

439
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: all of that too, And the real testimony of it

440
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: from my life is what God did. When they showed

441
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: that video, I want to thank our creative team for

442
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: the video they showed earlier in the service of the

443
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: ripple effect of this ministry. Thank you. That was excellent.

444
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: That was well done. It wasn't bragging on us, but

445
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: it was showing the people that all the way from

446
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: Valentine to Boise to Botswana. Anytime the sermon ain't going

447
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: good today, I just say Boise and all the way.

448
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna show you something that's gonna blow your mind.

449
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: I got teary on the front row. I said for

450
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: to keep it together, save your emotion for when you

451
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: get up there. Do not leak this thing out on

452
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: the front Rule and I'm like, but God, this is

453
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: touching me right now, and he said, stuff it down

454
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: and share it with them. So here's what it is.

455
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: Because you said whoa and I said boise, And there

456
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: was somebody on the video that said that they were

457
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: from Botswana and we're here at Valentine. But it took

458
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: me back. It took me back to just yesterday a

459
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: story that I was telling my son on the second row,

460
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: because he asked me something about the early days of

461
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: this church, and he asked me something about the phase

462
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: when we were just moving here and we only had

463
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: our core team, and he asked me something about the

464
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: way it is now and the way it was then,

465
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: and going out to minister to people all over the world,

466
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: and the reach and the ripple of the ministry. He

467
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: didn't say ripple, but that's what we were talking about.

468
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: And I was sitting there talking to him and I said,

469
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got to compose myself for a minute,

470
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: because this conversation takes me back to how before I

471
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: would come out to our team and tell them we're

472
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: going to reach the world. We're gonna touch the world.

473
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: God's gonna use us, God's gonna do something. It's going

474
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: to be amazing. It takes me back to how before

475
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: I would go and boldly speak to them. I would

476
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: sneak into the bathroom and I would lock myself in

477
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: the stall, and I would fight back my own reflex

478
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: to walk out, because how can I walk out and

479
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: tell them this? When I'm wondering did I mislead all

480
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: of them? Can we really do this? Because I stood

481
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: it a Jordan and I thought God spoke. But sometimes

482
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: you think it and don't feel it when it comes

483
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: time to do it. But I locked that stall and

484
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: I said, God, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna have

485
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: to be you. And when I tell my kids one

486
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: day from Valentine, what you did all the way to Boisi?

487
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: What's your did all the way to bock Swater, When

488
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: I tell my children, what a thankful God you said?

489
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Truer worse ever, visss Fucus. And my stones will tell

490
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: my story, and my stones will tell my story, and

491
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: my stones will tell my story, and my sleepless nights

492
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: will give.

493
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 3: Way to a new day, and my stones will tell

494
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: my story. And we'll shout it, validies, and we'll shout

495
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: in noisy, and we'll shout in my slaughter and will

496
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: shot till you get numb.

497
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: Break through. Yeah, we're gonna turn this thing around right now.

498
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: You keep talking how big these Amalekites are, how big

499
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: these Canaanites are. We need to reverse this ripple. It

500
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: doesn't start with the size of the Canaanites. It starts

501
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: with the size of the God that you serve. Well, Oh, preachy, creachy, preachy, freechie,

502
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: preachy preachie. I got a big God.

503
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 3: I got a good God. I keep telling God how

504
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: big it is.

505
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: I want to tell him how big.

506
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 4: Ah, if you saw my God, you'dn't understand my stout

507
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 4: shout now like you need a wall to fall.

508
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: Oh my mona, sound like boisey, sound like boisey.

509
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, high five. Your neighbors say,

510
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: reverse it, reverse it, reverse it, reverse it. Yeah, because

511
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: when you rehearse it, you reverse it. You missed it.

512
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: You were high five, and I said, when you rehearse it,

513
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: you reverse it. When you tell him how you locked

514
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: yourself in the bathroom stall, you remember that there is

515
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: no space too tight, no mountains too high, no need

516
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: too great, no ravine too dry For God to show

517
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: up and do what God does. He did it at

518
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: the Red Sea, he did it at the Jordans. He's

519
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: doing it in you right now. It will be by

520
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 1: faith who did God set me on fire for today?

521
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: That you need to reverse the ripple because every time

522
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: you think about the court case you go into panic attacks.

523
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: Think about the judge and give it over to him

524
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be all right, baby boy. Every time

525
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: you think about it, it sends a ripple. It sends

526
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: you into fear, It sends you into self loathing, It

527
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: sends you into hiding. It sends you back to drugs,

528
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: it sends you back to sex. You shouldn't be having

529
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: with people who are the ripple of a decision that

530
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: you made that you never would have made had you

531
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: been in your right place, in your right mind. Well,

532
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: we got to find the rock or we can't fix

533
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: the ripple. And see why I think Joshua was so intentional,

534
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: everybody say intentional in this moment. And why God is

535
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: so intentional with you and why He is revealing things

536
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: even now for you, is because for forty years the

537
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: story was told. Wat's just we went through the Red Sea.

538
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: We clap when we talk about that. They cried because

539
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: after they got through the Red Sea, they stopped. And

540
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: I like to show you why. Well, sit down, let

541
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: me show you why. When numbers chapter thirteen gets the

542
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: verse thirty one, it's kind of a battle of opinions,

543
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: kind of like you got going on in the world

544
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: right now. Everybody's shouting about everything. A bunch of noise,

545
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 1: a whole lot of ripple, not a lot of revelation. Yeah,

546
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: And when Caleb stood up, he was like, shut up,

547
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: we can do it because they're about to go into

548
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: the Promised Lamp. That's the saddest thing to me. When

549
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: Holly was preaching, they built the altar, and God gave

550
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: him the ten Commandments, and then they went in the

551
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: wilderness forty years why ripple watch number thirteen go to

552
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: thirty one. But the men who had gone up with

553
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: Caleb only ones who said we can do it, as

554
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: Joshua and Caleb to ten others said this, we can't

555
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: attack those people. That's why I had you just singing

556
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: I can't do it, but the Great I Am can. Earlier,

557
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: that's why we wrote that so you can acknowledge it.

558
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: We can't attack those people. They are stronger than we are.

559
00:36:52,480 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: Now stay there, back right there, stronger then we are,

560
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: and now watch what happens. Verse thirty two. They spread

561
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: among the Israelites a bad ripple, a bad report. Bad

562
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: reports have ripples, a bad report about the land they

563
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: had explored about what God wanted to give them, about

564
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: the size of the giants, And they said, the land

565
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: we explored devours those living in it. All the people

566
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: we saw there are of great size. We saw the

567
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Nephilm there, the descendants of Anac come from the Nephilm.

568
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, in our

569
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: own eyes, and we looked the same to them. But

570
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: why in the world would you start with your eyes

571
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: if you're receiving God's promise? I told you at the

572
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: beginning of my sermon, is what you see and what

573
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: God says. God said you can have it, and you

574
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: see that you can't. Which one is your rock? What

575
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: are you building on? Verse thirty one Again, Please, they

576
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: are stronger than we are. That's true. The disease is

577
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: stronger than your body right now. That is true. The

578
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: shame is real because the event really happened. That's true.

579
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: The guilt is real. Because you really would have done

580
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: it differently. That's true. All of that is true, but

581
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: it's not your starting place. And this is a principle

582
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: that I want you to receive from the word of

583
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: the Lord today. If you start with your strength, you

584
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: end in defeating. If you start with your strength, if

585
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: you start with your smarts, if you start with your anything,

586
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: you end in defeat because you run out reverse the ripple.

587
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: Start with God. Tell your neighbor I'm a name dropper. Now,

588
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't mean that how you think I tell them.

589
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't mean it how you think I mean it.

590
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: But I know the Great I am. So whatever I'm not,

591
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: he is. I don't start with who I am. I

592
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: drop the name of the Great I am. That's good

593
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: right there, That's good like syuh right there. Because when

594
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: you put the name of your God, the promise of

595
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: your God, on the thing that you're facing, it reverses,

596
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily the situation, but it taps you into His strength.

597
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: I can do all things through I gotta teach you

598
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: all the Bible. Now, come on, I can do all

599
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: things through Christ, who strengthens me. So I am not

600
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: starting with my strength. Stop waking up in the morning,

601
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: and discerning what you can do today based on how

602
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: strong you feel when you wake up. You gotta reverse that. No, No,

603
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: the first thing I'm not doing when I wake up

604
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: in the morning is consulting my stress level. My stress

605
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: level will keep me under all these sheets. But at

606
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: some point, I've got to throw off the covers. I've

607
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: got to stand up on my feet. I've got to

608
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 1: declare that what God called me to do today will

609
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: be done today, and what he called me to do

610
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 1: tomorrow can wait till tomorrow. And what he never called

611
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: me to do, somebody else can do. Because I am

612
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: not responsible for their ripple. So you cannot fix the

613
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: ripple until you find the rock. And the problem with

614
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: God's people in this passage has really not changed very

615
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: much at all, has it. They have allowed their identity

616
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: to become filtered through an event, an event we didn't

617
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: go in to the will. We've stayed in the wilderness

618
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: because of an event. We did not have our confidence

619
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: because we came from Egypt where we were slaves. But

620
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: slavery was the event, not the identity. Help me, Holy Spirit,

621
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: somebody right now who's been divorced, Somebody right now who's

622
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: had an abortion, somebody right now who tried to take

623
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: your own life, somebody right now who has never been

624
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: able to hold down a job, somebody right now who

625
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 1: has never been able to be good with money. Those

626
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: are events, They are not identities. Identities come from within.

627
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: It is Christ in you, the hope of glory. He

628
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: is your rock. And for everybody who has ever been rejected.

629
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: Let me jump a few centuries to first Peter two seven,

630
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: where Peter quotes the prophet saying, but to you who

631
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: believe this stone, we're talking about stones right this stone

632
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: being Christ, this stone is precious. But to those who

633
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: do not believe, watch this. The stone that the builders

634
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: rejected has become the corner stone. Stop living in the

635
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: ripple of their rejection. They are not your rock. I said,

636
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: They're not your rock. They're not your rock. They're not

637
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: your rock. To the point that human ingenuity is so

638
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: limited that they throw tried to throw Jesus away. They

639
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: rejected the stone that God built the whole thing on.

640
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: God is my rock. But first, something must happen at

641
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: this place where your feet are right now. Something must

642
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: happen at the place where you've stalled out. Something must

643
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: happen at the place where you laid down. Something must

644
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: happen at the place where you remain uncircum size. Something

645
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: must happen here. And then then amazing how almost everything

646
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: with God is opposite. Across brings life. What as across

647
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: across his gruesome, across his death, No across is glorious.

648
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: Rocks bring down giants. I'm gonna take you one more thing,

649
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: just to throw it in because I feel like it's

650
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: for somebody. I don't know what it's for. I don't

651
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: want to miss it. M Uh. How fast the ripple

652
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: happens doesn't always tell you how far it's going to go.

653
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: Some things in your life are going slow because God

654
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: is building something that's really really good. Put that in

655
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: for free. This ripple may start slow, but it may

656
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: spread wide. You don't know. You don't know. Somebody packed

657
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: that little boy's lunch that he fed to the crowd

658
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: that day. You might be a mom packing the lunch

659
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: that we're gonna be talking about in Boise and Valentine

660
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: and Botswana. That's the ripple. That's the ripple. That's the ripple.

661
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: That's the ripple. That's the that's the ripple, that's how

662
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: God does it. He takes something as simple as a stone,

663
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: and I love him because sometimes the smallest pebbles have

664
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: the greatest purpose. There was a widow in church one day.

665
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: She put two mites, two coins in the offer, and

666
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: Jesus said, that's the biggest ripple that's been put in

667
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: that temple that today. All the rich people they didn't

668
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: ripple at all. Jesus thought, I lott pebble. He said,

669
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: that's all she has right there. You see how the

670
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: smallest pebble can serve the biggest purpose. You see how

671
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: the smallest rock, if the right guy's got it just

672
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: enough rotations booming. We are preaching about him every Sunday.

673
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: There's not a Sunday that goes by that I don't

674
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: tell you David killed Goliath. Little pebble, big purpose. And

675
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: yet we want to look at a fort twenty because

676
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: this one is a little different. Where he said take

677
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: the twelve stones out. Everybody say out of the Jordan,

678
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: because normally a ripple happens when you throw a stone in,

679
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: but this ripple is in reverse. You're gonna tell your

680
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: children what I did. And you think a ripple only

681
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: happens when a stone is thrown in. But this ripple,

682
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: somebody shout, this ripple. Come on, After all I've been through,

683
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: after all I've seen God do, after all the reasons

684
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be here, This ripple is not gonna happen

685
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: because of a stone you threw in. It's gonna happen

686
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: because of a stone that you take out. Now, now

687
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:05,479
Speaker 1: shall it Because there are some stones, Yeah, yeah, there's

688
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: some ripples. There are some ripples that can only happen

689
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: through removal. Touch three. People say, get it out, get

690
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: it out, get it out, get it out, get it out,

691
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: get it out, get it out, get it out, get

692
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: it out, get it out, get it out, get it out.

693
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: All that bitterness, get it out, get it out, get

694
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: it out, get it out. All that regret, get it out,

695
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: get it out.

696
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 3: All that bias, all that judtment, all that president is.

697
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: All that is security. Get it out. Because this ripple,

698
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:38,439
Speaker 1: the burst.

699
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 3: Shall be last, and the last shall be burst. They

700
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 3: that's so its we'll rad be joy this.

701
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: Ripple. Come on. Twelve high fives say, this ripple is

702
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: in reverse. Yeah. You keep waiting for God to put

703
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: something in, But God said, I will reveal it when

704
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: you remove it. Oh that was good to me. I'll

705
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: try it again. I'll try it again. God removes to reveal.

706
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: God wants to show you through this story. God wants

707
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: to show you through this moment. God wants to show

708
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: you through what you call a burden. God wants to

709
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: show you through what you can't carry. God wants to

710
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: show you through what you can't do. God is even

711
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: using your enemies to cause you to depend on him.

712
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: So this ripple is in reverse. Don't wait for something

713
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: else to come. Take that thing out that is keeping

714
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: you from believing what he spoke. If it's an addiction,

715
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: it's got to go. If it's pride, it's got to go.

716
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: If it's your thoughts of yourself, it's got to go.

717
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: If it's your need to be right to go. Every

718
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: stone must go. And this woman, this woman of God,

719
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: confirmed my message. She preached on altars. She talked about rocks.

720
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: I was already getting ready to preach. She talked about rocks,

721
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: and then she went home and sent a verse to

722
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: our Bible club. We've been we've been going through the

723
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: Book of Ezekiel. I wanted to say, stuck in the

724
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: weird part of the Book of Ezekiel. But that sounds sacrilegious.

725
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: But the reason y'all don't think it's weird is because

726
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: y'all don't read it. So anyway, judge me all you want.

727
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: You can't condemn me. But but she said, she said

728
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: it was. It was one thirty in the morning. She

729
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: had preached from reflect she had poured her heart out,

730
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: and she said, I gotta go do my key verse,

731
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: because we swap around and do the key verse. I said,

732
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: I'll do it for you today, Babe, I can do

733
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: this for you. I'm gonna chat gpt a little bit

734
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: and said over. But she said, I'm gonna go do it.

735
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: And she said, she said, I'm gonna do it, and

736
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go do it. And she sent it to me,

737
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: and she sent Ezekiel eleven nineteen. And the Lord said,

738
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: now you know that I got the right message for

739
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: you about removing the rocks, because the Office said, I

740
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: will give them an undevii hour watch this, Holly, one

741
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, and I put a new spirit

742
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: in them. My will removed from them their heart of stone.

743
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: Now I can fix the ripple because I found the rock. Yeah,

744
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: it's been my hard heart and the nature of the

745
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: Lord is that he removes to reveal, because verse twenty says,

746
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: and then when he does that, when he gives to

747
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: this Jesus heart, this heart that is sensitive to the

748
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: ways of grace, This heart that knows that you need them,

749
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: This heart that knows that he did it, not you.

750
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: This heart that remembers that you are in the bathroom

751
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: stall long before you are in. Boy. See the heart

752
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: that remembers that the Lord did this, and that he's

753
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 1: bigger than our enemies. That heart, that heart of flesh,

754
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: that heart that is justified only by Jesus, made righteous

755
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 1: only through him, his blood, his word, his covenant, his water.

756
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: Verse twenty. Please, then they will follow my decrease. Watch

757
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 1: the ripple. When I remove it, then they will follow, beautiful,

758
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: and be careful to keep my loss. Now stay with

759
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: me for one more minute, because there is one more

760
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: story that has nothing to do with Jordan Rivers. But

761
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: it is in John's Gospel, and the Lord alerted it

762
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: to me as a confirmation and a word for those

763
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: who are struggling with shame, condemnation, and rejection and guilt.

764
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: And it has been ripping through your sanity. It's been

765
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: ripping through your relationships. It has been ripping through your

766
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: professional life. It has been ripping through every part of

767
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: your life. And what's going to happen if we don't

768
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: share this story right now is that you're going to

769
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: think that the point of my message is that you've

770
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: got to pick up a big heavy stone and carry

771
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: it and show God that you really mean it this time.

772
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: But that's religion ripples. We're dealing with rocks today. And

773
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: when Jesus walked the earth, he did something very very

774
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: interesting because he was the rock, right, he was the rock,

775
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: and he demonstrated something one day in an unlikely way

776
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: to win. John chapter eight, verse three, Please on the

777
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 1: Screens says they brought a woman who was caught in adultery.

778
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: Now I think that has a double meaning. I think

779
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: that she was caught means that they saw her doing it.

780
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: I also think that means that she didn't want to

781
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: do it. She was caught. Follow me, I think when

782
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: we get caught, usually we were caught. It's not that

783
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: we wanted to do it. I wonder what rocks were

784
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: dropped in her life to cause this ripple. But nobody

785
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: wanted to know that did that? Now? They just brought her,

786
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: charged her, made her stand before the group verse at

787
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: verse four, and said to Jesus, teacher, this woman was

788
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: caught in the act of adultery. How right they were,

789
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 1: And in the law of Moses commanded us to stone

790
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: such women, to stone such women. I just told you,

791
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: an event is not an identity. She's not such woman.

792
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: She's not a such woman. Who in the world do

793
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: you think you are labeling people according to their worse mistake?

794
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: In lowis moment, I'm about to show you what Jesus

795
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: thinks about this, and for when you label yourself. So

796
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 1: we got a stoner, right, what do you say? Inn't

797
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 1: that crazy? How our text in Joshua had a question

798
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: what do these stones mean? And now you've got a

799
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: group of people, probably men. The Pharisees and the teachers

800
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: of the law were men, and they want to stone

801
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: the woman because they put her identity through the grid

802
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: of the event. So here's where we are, Here's where

803
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: you are. You've been there, you might be there right now?

804
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: What do you say? What do these stones mean? What

805
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: do you see? Let's see how the rock responds to

806
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: their rocks verse six. They were using this question as

807
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: a trap in order to have a basis for accusing

808
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: him a trap. They're trying to trip him up. But

809
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: he's the rock. He ain't go trip over what he is,

810
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: stumbling block or a cornerstone. It all depends on how

811
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: you see him in order to have a basis for

812
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: accusing him. But Jesus bent down, Uh huh. Zoom out

813
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: so they can see online what I'm doing, not that

814
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm Jesus. I'm just trying to make the text come alive,

815
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: and started to write on the ground with his finger.

816
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he's writing her a new story. Maybe he's writing

817
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: a new chapter. Maybe he's writing something that she's gonna do.

818
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he's writing down all their sins. Because watch this.

819
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: Watch what happened when he did when he stooped verse

820
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: number seven. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened

821
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: up and said, let any one of you who is

822
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: without sin be the first to throw the stone at her.

823
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: Watch what God does when they go to throw their rocks.

824
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: Watch what he does. The next time guilt tries to

825
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 1: tell you that you can never recover, watch what God

826
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: does the next time you try to go back to

827
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,240
Speaker 1: your past and imprison yourself over something everybody else has forgiven,

828
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: but you. Verse number eight says as they circled around her.

829
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: As they circled around her, he again stooped and wrote

830
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: on the ground. Next verse that this those who heard

831
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: begin to go away, one at a time. This is

832
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: comical the older ones first, because if he was writing

833
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: their sins in the dirt, the ones who had lived

834
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: the longest had the most ripples. So they took off

835
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: running because I got ripples. If we really started listening

836
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: what you've been through, you wouldn't be commenting on anybody

837
00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: else's Instagram, would you arm them? So I'm talking about

838
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: the rock, not their rocks. The rock. He got down

839
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: in the ground, and he began to write, and they

840
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: all started leaving. Watch this until say it with me.

841
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: Only Jesus was left sit again. Only Jesus was left

842
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 1: one more time for repetition. Only Jesus was left, because

843
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: only Jesus was right. Until the only one right was

844
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: the only one left, the only one who had the

845
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: right to throw a stone. He didn't throw it, He

846
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: took it. You tell me about your sin, let me

847
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 1: tell you about his grace. Grace, grace, God's grace, grace.

848
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: Second pardon and cleanse within somebody self grace, grace, grace

849
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: that is greater than all of my sin. So my

850
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: sin sent a ripple, and his righteousness sin forgiveness. So

851
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: my sin sent a ripple, but his death sent a

852
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: different message to my shame. And the Bible says that

853
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: it was just Jesus and her, and he looked around

854
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: like he didn't know Verse ten, and asked her a question, woman,

855
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: where are they?

856
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 4: Oh?

857
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 1: They didn't throw their rocks. That's because I am your rock.

858
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: You let me defend you, You let me vindicate you,

859
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: You let me justify you. You hear me. You don't

860
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: even have to prove it to them. Stop posting to

861
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: prove it, and pray about it, and get down on

862
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: your knees with Jesus and let him restore you reputation.

863
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: You walk different because while you're trying to fix the ripple,

864
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: he's trying to get you to drop the rocks. Yeah.

865
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: And I love what he gave her as a gift

866
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: in verse eleven, And I give it to you as

867
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: I close today, God, this message is heavy in my heart.

868
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: There must be somebody with a heavy heart of stone

869
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: today that the Lord wants to break and he looked

870
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: all around, and all the rocks were gone but one.

871
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: All the rocks were gone but one. And then he

872
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: told her, now that we got rid of their rocks,

873
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: let's get rid of yours neither. I don't even know

874
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: who was scorn. I don't even know who was skilled.

875
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: They don't even be in the room. But he said,

876
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: you can go now and leave your life of sin.

877
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: You keep trying to fix the sin, that's the ripple.

878
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: But when he removes the stone, Yes, when he takes

879
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: that that hard place away. In fact, right now, I

880
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: want us to stand to our feet and just lift

881
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: our hands to the Lord. Just do it. Quit being

882
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: so stubborn about surrendering to God. Quit letting that heart

883
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: of stone tell you what to do and when to

884
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: do it. Because there are some things that can happen

885
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: in a moment, in the presence of God, that can

886
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: ripple back to your home. Do you know that if

887
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: you just get this word from God and feel an emotion, great,

888
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: If I can give you one hour to escape the

889
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: hell that you have to go through, I'll show up

890
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: and do it. But what if we could send a ripple.

891
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: What if in this moment you drop some rocks. Today.

892
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: I know that we keep waiting for something else to come,

893
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: another blessing, another opportunity. But the Lord gave me a

894
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: different message today. He said, we're reversing the ripple. We

895
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: are not starting with what is coming in. We are

896
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: starting with what is coming out. So I call you

897
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: out today, say out out of fear, out of bondage,

898
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: out of shame, out of it, out of it, out

899
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: of it, come out, come out, come out, come out,

900
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:34,919
Speaker 1: come out, come out, come out, part of stone, come out.

901
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: Until the only one left. He's the only one right.

902
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: Listen to me. What God says about you is right.

903
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: Everything else is wrong. What you call yourself is wrong.

904
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: What you thought your life was supposed to be is wrong.

905
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: Who you thought was supposed to still be in your

906
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: life right now it was wrong. He's right. And this

907
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: rock just hear saying God in my spirit, Chris, can

908
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: you sing it that high? Oh God, my God, I

909
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: need you, Oh God, my God, I need you now now,

910
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Oh God, God. I reckon. This is why I heard it,

911
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: this line right here, to call on it. I'll standing

912
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: on you. So hang on right there, stay right there,

913
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: stay right there. We're gonna go back into the bridge

914
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: in a minute. But we're gonna hit verse twenty four

915
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: one more time. You tell them what God did? You

916
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: tell them what the central event of your life was

917
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: not a failure. It was a cross your course story,

918
01:00:53,320 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: your primal narrative. Your rock is a stone that was

919
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: rolled away, and now this is the reverse ripple. The

920
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

921
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: You can build your life on him. He removes to reveal.

922
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: He reveals to restore, and the word restore must literally

923
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: mean restory, a new story. When the stone goes, the

924
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: new story comes. So I'll give you this and I'll

925
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: get out of your way. That he said what I

926
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: did at the Red Sea, you weren't ready for yet.

927
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: And you've stayed stuck in that regret for so long,

928
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: and it has rippled the bad report, rippled through forty

929
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: years of wilderness living. But now I want you to

930
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 1: take a stone with you, because you are going into

931
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: a season where I am rolling away your regrets. I

932
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: am rolling away your reproach. Hallelujah, I am cutting away

933
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: your flesh. Who opened your prison doors? God did, who

934
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: dried up your ocean floors? God did, who raced you

935
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: up from the dead. God did who justified, redeemed you,

936
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: called you, created you, and breathed the very breath of

937
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: life into you. So if he did it, then you

938
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: heard your children. Then you hear your children. Now you

939
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: are je.

940
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,479
Speaker 5: Don't hold it back, let it flow, Let it flow,

941
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 5: let it flow. No flu unlock right now, no flu.

942
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: You say, this is a holy moment. Now he said.

943
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 6: You come on, let's take it up higher. Let's take

944
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 6: it up higher. And the Lord says, it's your Jordan.

Speaker 1: Here, it's your Jordan. Here, it's your Jordan here. Yes,
