1
00:00:01,580 --> 00:00:02,779
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Furtick.

2
00:00:02,820 --> 00:00:05,859
Speaker 2: I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast.

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: I wanted to thank you for joining us today. I

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,620
Speaker 2: hope this inspires you. I hope it builds your faith.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: I hope it gives you perspective to see God is

6
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: moving in your life. Enjoy the message.

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,730
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the Word of the Lord? All right, everybody,

8
00:00:21,770 --> 00:00:25,730
Speaker 1: stand on your feet. Stand on your feet, please. I'm

9
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:30,450
Speaker 1: going to read you one verse in Joshua 6, verse 7.

10
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:34,890
Speaker 1: Then I'll seat you and read you 20 more. Fair warning.

11
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:40,450
Speaker 2: Last week I preached a message called, You Can Skip This.

12
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, you can skip this. I'm trying to

13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,580
Speaker 2: get you to see that some of the dumb stuff

14
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:50,500
Speaker 2: that we deal with is not the devil.

15
00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:55,870
Speaker 1: It's a decision.

16
00:00:56,010 --> 00:00:58,210
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be great if we saved our strength to

17
00:00:58,270 --> 00:01:02,029
Speaker 2: fight the devil when he's really attacking us? and don't

18
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:04,850
Speaker 2: self-sabotage by having a bad attitude. That was kind of

19
00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:08,110
Speaker 2: where the message ended up. You know, sometimes I just,

20
00:01:08,890 --> 00:01:11,789
Speaker 2: I don't think that my message was clear because like

21
00:01:12,730 --> 00:01:16,830
Speaker 2: literally right after I preached it, my family group chat

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,950
Speaker 2: went off and Graham said, did you hear dad? We

23
00:01:19,970 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: can skip family Christmas pictures on Thursday. To which I

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,780
Speaker 2: let him know real quick, we can't skip the pictures,

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,340
Speaker 2: but we can skip the part where y'all fight about

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,310
Speaker 2: the pictures. come on and make me want to cut

27
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:34,330
Speaker 2: you out of my will.

28
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:36,750
Speaker 1: And put you up for adoption.

29
00:01:39,069 --> 00:01:42,220
Speaker 2: You don't get to choose to skip the adversities in

30
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: your life, but sometimes you can change the attitude. I

31
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:49,460
Speaker 2: find myself wishing that life was like YouTube and you

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,230
Speaker 2: could skip ad. Ad stands for adversity, not advertisement.

33
00:01:55,730 --> 00:01:56,310
Speaker 1: Skip ad.

34
00:01:57,750 --> 00:01:59,810
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm even talking to somebody, and I'm looking for

35
00:01:59,830 --> 00:02:03,730
Speaker 2: the fast-forward button. trying to hold down the side of

36
00:02:03,750 --> 00:02:05,750
Speaker 2: the screen that'll make it go two times as fast,

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,340
Speaker 2: you know, or a season.

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,620
Speaker 1: Of my life.

39
00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:11,900
Speaker 2: And this week, a relevant scripture that I touched on

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,700
Speaker 2: last week that I want to explore a little bit

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: more with you is from Joshua chapter six. Now, this

42
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: will make no sense out of context, but we'll put

43
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: it in context in the next.

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: Three and a half hours that I preach. Would you

45
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:30,590
Speaker 1: really be excited about that? I'm not going to do it.

46
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:32,950
Speaker 1: You're going to have to watch some sermons from the archives.

47
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:35,970
Speaker 2: I'll be brief, but I just want to share with

48
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:40,090
Speaker 2: you from Joshua chapter six, verse seven. And he ordered

49
00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:45,060
Speaker 2: the army, advance, march around the city with an armed

50
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord. Again,

51
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:54,460
Speaker 2: and he ordered the army, advance, march around the city

52
00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:57,940
Speaker 2: with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of

53
00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 2: the Lord. Now that's the seed of my message today.

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: The title of this message, I'm calling it, This Time Around.

55
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:10,530
Speaker 2: Not talking about last time.

56
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:13,049
Speaker 1: Not talking about five years ago.

57
00:03:13,090 --> 00:03:14,780
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about when you were the high school

58
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: quarterback and the star of the team.

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:16,980
Speaker 1: You're 48 now.

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,619
Speaker 2: I'm talking about this time around. I'm not talking about

61
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: what you could bench press when you were 16. I'm

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,730
Speaker 2: talking about this time. I'm not talking about next time

63
00:03:27,770 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: around either when you get it all together. I'm talking

64
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:35,020
Speaker 2: about this time around. Father, thank you for your word.

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Thank you for your presence. Thank you for your power.

66
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,330
Speaker 2: Do your thing. I give you the credit and the

67
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:47,490
Speaker 2: glory in advance. In Jesus' name, everybody said together, amen. Amen.

68
00:03:47,550 --> 00:03:48,290
Speaker 1: You may be seated.

69
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:59,020
Speaker 2: Joshua chapter 6 is the famous story where Joshua led

70
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: the people of Israel around the walls of Jericho, and

71
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:06,260
Speaker 2: they fell with a great crash.

72
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:11,750
Speaker 1: We love this story. In case you are new to church,

73
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:18,230
Speaker 1: this is one of our greatest hits. We love this story.

74
00:04:19,029 --> 00:04:21,789
Speaker 2: We like it because it's a story about a shout,

75
00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:25,450
Speaker 2: and you'll see that in just a moment. Now that

76
00:04:25,470 --> 00:04:29,730
Speaker 2: you're seated and comfortable and relaxed, let me do the

77
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:32,730
Speaker 2: work for you and just read you the story as

78
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:37,420
Speaker 2: it occurs in Joshua, chapter 6, the story of how Joshua,

79
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: the new leader of the people of Israel, took them

80
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:44,700
Speaker 2: on a journey around the walls of a city that

81
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,420
Speaker 2: was on the edge of the Promised Land called Jericho,

82
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:50,100
Speaker 2: and the walls fell with a great crash. I want

83
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,229
Speaker 2: you to pay attention to the details as I read.

84
00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: The Scripture will be on the screen. If you're ready,

85
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,140
Speaker 2: say yes. If you're not, here we go. Now the

86
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites.

87
00:05:04,670 --> 00:05:08,870
Speaker 1: No one went out, and no one came in.

88
00:05:09,930 --> 00:05:12,190
Speaker 2: Then the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have delivered

89
00:05:12,210 --> 00:05:17,770
Speaker 2: Jericho into your hands, along with its king and fighting men.

90
00:05:17,910 --> 00:05:20,870
Speaker 2: God said, I've given it to you. I have given

91
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:22,980
Speaker 2: it to you. I know it doesn't look like it,

92
00:05:23,010 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: but I've given it to you. I know it's locked

93
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,060
Speaker 2: up and you can't get in, but I've given it

94
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,059
Speaker 2: to you. Just because you're not in it yet doesn't

95
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:31,150
Speaker 2: mean God hasn't given it.

96
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Write that down, please. That's not in my notes. It

97
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:36,260
Speaker 1: ought to be in yours.

98
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: Just because you're not in it yet doesn't mean God

99
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,410
Speaker 2: hasn't given it. God has promised you some things. The

100
00:05:44,450 --> 00:05:47,790
Speaker 2: Lord said, I've given it to you. Then the instruction,

101
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:50,830
Speaker 2: verse 3, march around the city once with all the

102
00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:51,370
Speaker 2: armed men.

103
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:52,350
Speaker 1: Do this for six days.

104
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:55,700
Speaker 2: Have seven priests carry trumpets of ram's horns in front

105
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the

106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,220
Speaker 2: city seven times, with the.

107
00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:01,380
Speaker 1: Priests blowing the trumpets.

108
00:06:02,290 --> 00:06:05,130
Speaker 2: When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets,

109
00:06:05,550 --> 00:06:07,870
Speaker 2: have the whole army give.

110
00:06:07,710 --> 00:06:08,770
Speaker 1: A loud shout.

111
00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:11,990
Speaker 2: Then the wall of the city will collapse, and the

112
00:06:12,190 --> 00:06:15,770
Speaker 2: army will go up. Everyone straight in. That's the good

113
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,490
Speaker 2: part right there. A shout and a straight in. That's

114
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:23,650
Speaker 2: a good part right there. So Joshua, son of Nun,

115
00:06:23,710 --> 00:06:26,330
Speaker 2: called the priests and said to them … Watch.

116
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:28,310
Speaker 1: God's talking to Joshua.

117
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: Now Joshua has to relay a message to them that

118
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: God gave to him.

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,940
Speaker 1: So Joshua, son of Nun, called the priests and said

120
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: to them.

121
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord

122
00:06:40,339 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.

123
00:06:43,140 --> 00:06:45,580
Speaker 2: And he ordered the army, Advance … I just read

124
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:48,740
Speaker 2: you this verse … march around the city with an

125
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.

126
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,270
Speaker 2: When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests

127
00:06:56,370 --> 00:07:01,130
Speaker 2: carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing

128
00:07:01,170 --> 00:07:07,100
Speaker 2: their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord's covenant followed them.

129
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,660
Speaker 2: Reminds me of surely goodness and mercy will follow me

130
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:18,130
Speaker 2: all the days of my life. The Lord's ark followed them.

131
00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:23,410
Speaker 2: The Lord's ark followed them. When they stepped, God stepped.

132
00:07:23,770 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: When they moved, God moved. And the ark of the

133
00:07:27,070 --> 00:07:31,540
Speaker 2: Lord's covenant followed them. The armed guard marched ahead of

134
00:07:31,580 --> 00:07:34,540
Speaker 2: the priest who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard

135
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:38,500
Speaker 2: followed the ark. So they're following God. God is following them.

136
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:41,470
Speaker 2: He's got you covered from every side. I thought you

137
00:07:41,490 --> 00:07:43,850
Speaker 2: would shout about that. He's got you covered from every side.

138
00:07:45,260 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: Anything trying to sneak up behind you and get you

139
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,820
Speaker 2: can't surprise attack God, because he sovereignly got you covered

140
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:53,830
Speaker 2: from every side. Anything that's in front of you that

141
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:56,290
Speaker 2: you're worried about, God has got you covered on every side.

142
00:07:56,450 --> 00:07:57,510
Speaker 1: More about that in a moment.

143
00:07:58,510 --> 00:08:02,110
Speaker 2: But Joshua had commanded, verse 10, the army,' Do.

144
00:08:02,010 --> 00:08:04,970
Speaker 1: Not give a war cry. Do not raise your voices.

145
00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:07,110
Speaker 2: Do not say a word until the day I tell

146
00:08:07,150 --> 00:08:07,710
Speaker 2: you to shout.

147
00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:08,290
Speaker 1: Then shout.

148
00:08:09,190 --> 00:08:10,890
Speaker 2: So he had the ark of the Lord carried around

149
00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:13,890
Speaker 2: the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to

150
00:08:13,930 --> 00:08:16,830
Speaker 2: camp and spent the night there. Joshua got up early

151
00:08:16,890 --> 00:08:18,790
Speaker 2: the next morning, and the priests took up the ark

152
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:22,210
Speaker 2: of the Lord. The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets

153
00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:25,650
Speaker 2: went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and

154
00:08:25,710 --> 00:08:26,630
Speaker 2: blowing the trumpets.

155
00:08:27,390 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: The armed men went ahead of them, and.

156
00:08:29,690 --> 00:08:32,290
Speaker 2: The rear guard followed the ark of the Lord while

157
00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: the trumpets kept sounding. So on the second day they

158
00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:39,540
Speaker 2: marched around the city once and returned to the camp.

159
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: They did this for six days. Here comes the good part.

160
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,579
Speaker 2: Verse 15. On the seventh day they got up at

161
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,500
Speaker 2: daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the

162
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,380
Speaker 2: same manner, except that on.

163
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:59,750
Speaker 1: That day they circled the city seven times.

164
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:03,150
Speaker 2: The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast,

165
00:09:03,490 --> 00:09:08,110
Speaker 2: Joshua commanded the army,' Shout, for the Lord has given

166
00:09:08,170 --> 00:09:14,460
Speaker 2: you the city.' Yeah, that's all right too. Shout, for

167
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,620
Speaker 2: the Lord has given you the city. Drop down to

168
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,610
Speaker 2: verse 20. When the trumpet sounded, the army shouted. At

169
00:09:21,650 --> 00:09:25,230
Speaker 2: the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a

170
00:09:25,630 --> 00:09:31,929
Speaker 2: loud shout, the wall came down. So, everyone charged straight in,

171
00:09:32,429 --> 00:09:36,130
Speaker 2: and they took the city. Give God praise that he

172
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:40,020
Speaker 2: can do stuff like that. You see why we love

173
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,900
Speaker 2: this story? It's an amazing Bible story. You see why

174
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:45,770
Speaker 2: we like to preach about it? Because it reminds us

175
00:09:45,850 --> 00:09:49,309
Speaker 2: for the struggles we face. It reminds us that God

176
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:51,930
Speaker 2: has a strategy for every situation you face.

177
00:09:51,950 --> 00:10:01,579
Speaker 1: Put that in the comments. God has a strategy. Tell

178
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,580
Speaker 1: it to your neighbor. God has a strategy.

179
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: Just because I can't see it doesn't mean he doesn't

180
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: have it. God has a strategy. God has a strategy

181
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: for how I'm going to get through this illness. God

182
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: has a strategy how I'm going to care for my

183
00:10:16,820 --> 00:10:19,850
Speaker 2: aging parent. God has a strategy how I'm going to

184
00:10:19,890 --> 00:10:22,670
Speaker 2: get this special needs child the help they need, because

185
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:25,469
Speaker 2: he loves them more than I do. God has a

186
00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:28,890
Speaker 2: strategy how I'm going to confront my friend about their

187
00:10:28,910 --> 00:10:32,150
Speaker 2: drug addiction. God has a strategy for how I'm going

188
00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:35,210
Speaker 2: to endure this season of job loss and not let

189
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:36,570
Speaker 2: it get into my identity.

190
00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:40,220
Speaker 1: Somebody say, a strategy. God has a strategy.

191
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to slow down and preach this real slow,

192
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: but I actually want to shout right here, but Like

193
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,910
Speaker 2: the thing said, don't shout until the time is right,

194
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:50,170
Speaker 2: and I don't think it's time to shout yet, because

195
00:10:50,190 --> 00:10:52,849
Speaker 2: I just need to lay this foundation that God has

196
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:56,250
Speaker 2: a strategy for every situation that you face. If you

197
00:10:56,270 --> 00:10:59,660
Speaker 2: don't believe that God has a strategy, ask Goliath if

198
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: God had a strategy for his nine-foot-tall self with his

199
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: advanced armor, his advanced under-armor technology, with his absolutely defiant

200
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,790
Speaker 2: attitude toward the army of the living God, but God

201
00:11:11,850 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: had a slingshot that served as a strategy, because the

202
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,620
Speaker 2: thing the rock could do that the sword couldn't do

203
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: was to hit Goliath from a distance, because Goliath was

204
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: so big that he was blind. God had a strategy

205
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: to give David the exact tool he.

206
00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:27,190
Speaker 1: Needed to knock Goliath out.

207
00:11:27,250 --> 00:11:29,490
Speaker 2: What seemed to diminish David in the eyes of the

208
00:11:29,550 --> 00:11:32,470
Speaker 2: Israelites actually qualified him in the eyes of God, because

209
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:34,330
Speaker 2: God had a strategy.

210
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:39,100
Speaker 1: If you don't believe God has a strategy, ask Philip.

211
00:11:39,710 --> 00:11:41,010
Speaker 2: Who said, I don't know where we're going to get

212
00:11:41,050 --> 00:11:43,610
Speaker 2: enough bread and fish to feed all these people, Jesus.

213
00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:45,510
Speaker 2: You're the one who was preaching so long they got

214
00:11:45,550 --> 00:11:46,870
Speaker 2: hungry until they almost fainted.

215
00:11:47,250 --> 00:11:47,810
Speaker 1: Don't ask me.

216
00:11:47,850 --> 00:11:49,790
Speaker 2: You should have given us advance notice, and we could

217
00:11:49,809 --> 00:11:55,150
Speaker 2: have called in catering. Jesus, being a little bit sneaky,

218
00:11:55,970 --> 00:11:57,170
Speaker 2: said to Philip, I don't know.

219
00:11:57,230 --> 00:11:58,630
Speaker 1: Where shall we buy bread?

220
00:11:58,670 --> 00:12:00,750
Speaker 2: The Bible says in John chapter 6 that he asked

221
00:12:00,790 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: him only to test him because he already knew what

222
00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:06,479
Speaker 2: he was going to do. God has a strategy. I

223
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,239
Speaker 2: said God has a strategy. the thing that snuck up

224
00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:12,490
Speaker 2: on you did not sneak up on God. God has

225
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: a strategy for that. Tell the person next to you,

226
00:12:15,309 --> 00:12:19,730
Speaker 2: there's a strategy for that. There's a strategy for the depression.

227
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:23,030
Speaker 2: There's a strategy for the anxiety. There's a strategy for

228
00:12:23,050 --> 00:12:27,309
Speaker 2: the unforeseen circumstance. There's a strategy for that. We love

229
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: stories like trumpets tearing down walls, because it makes me

230
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: grateful that even if it doesn't make sense, God has

231
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: a strategy for every situation you face. Another reason we

232
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,059
Speaker 2: love it is because it reminds us that God has

233
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:57,180
Speaker 2: strength for every season I live. There's a strength for

234
00:12:57,250 --> 00:13:00,569
Speaker 2: every season. There's a strength for the season in your

235
00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:04,370
Speaker 2: life when you're inexperienced. There's a strength for the season

236
00:13:04,410 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: of your life when you are fatigued. There's a strength

237
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,230
Speaker 2: for the season of your life when you're busy. There's

238
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:12,350
Speaker 2: a strength for the season of your life when you're bored.

239
00:13:13,410 --> 00:13:16,190
Speaker 2: There are seasons in your life when everybody else is

240
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:19,250
Speaker 2: saying how busy they are, and you yourself are trying

241
00:13:19,270 --> 00:13:21,210
Speaker 2: to make up things to be busy with, but the

242
00:13:21,230 --> 00:13:25,850
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is your screen time number this

243
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:28,030
Speaker 2: week is not something you really want to share with anybody,

244
00:13:28,090 --> 00:13:32,100
Speaker 2: because while you say, I'm busy, I'm really kind of bored.

245
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,900
Speaker 2: I'm bored being busy. Well, there's a strategy for every situation,

246
00:13:37,950 --> 00:13:39,490
Speaker 2: and there is a strength for every season.

247
00:13:40,350 --> 00:13:42,630
Speaker 1: If the season you're in is that there's.

248
00:13:42,490 --> 00:13:44,369
Speaker 2: Just so much coming at you, you can't get it

249
00:13:44,429 --> 00:13:47,250
Speaker 2: all done, God will give you a strength for those seasons.

250
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:51,250
Speaker 2: He'll go around and make things easier that should be hard.

251
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: He will fix stuff while you're in church that you

252
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,099
Speaker 2: couldn't fix if you spent all week at home working

253
00:13:59,179 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: on them yourself.

254
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:04,910
Speaker 1: Do you believe that?

255
00:14:06,059 --> 00:14:08,980
Speaker 2: God can go to your house right now and fix

256
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:13,140
Speaker 2: something that you could spend the next 10 years making

257
00:14:13,179 --> 00:14:18,860
Speaker 2: worse without him, because God has a strategy for every situation. Now,

258
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: this is just my introduction, so stop saying amen, because

259
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: I need to move past this, but we love this

260
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,220
Speaker 2: story because it reminds us that God has a strategy

261
00:14:25,260 --> 00:14:28,060
Speaker 2: for every situation, and he has a strength for every season.

262
00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:31,500
Speaker 2: God has a strategy for every situation and a strength

263
00:14:31,970 --> 00:14:34,990
Speaker 2: for every season. Just like he told Joshua about Jericho.

264
00:14:35,290 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: He wants to give it to you. He has peace that.

265
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: He wants to give to you. God wants to give

266
00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:46,950
Speaker 2: it to you. God wants to give you wisdom. God

267
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:50,230
Speaker 2: wants to give you guidance. God wants to give you direction.

268
00:14:50,530 --> 00:14:53,750
Speaker 2: God wants to give you endurance. God wants to give

269
00:14:53,790 --> 00:14:58,730
Speaker 2: you strength and strategy, because for every situation, God has

270
00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:02,350
Speaker 2: a strategy, and for every season, God has strength, and

271
00:15:02,390 --> 00:15:05,790
Speaker 2: he wants to give it to you. But the enemy

272
00:15:06,970 --> 00:15:13,090
Speaker 2: wants to keep you so filled with fear and frustration

273
00:15:13,930 --> 00:15:18,890
Speaker 2: that you can't receive it. God has a strategy for

274
00:15:18,930 --> 00:15:22,500
Speaker 2: this situation, and God has a strength for this season,

275
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: and he wants to give it to you. But the

276
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,940
Speaker 2: Enemy knows if he can keep you filled with enough

277
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: fear and frustration, you will not hear what.

278
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,420
Speaker 1: God speaks or receive what God says.

279
00:15:37,650 --> 00:15:40,460
Speaker 2: You cannot hear what God is speaking to give you

280
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,820
Speaker 2: the strategy, and you cannot receive what God is doing

281
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: to give you strength if your heart is filled with

282
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:54,030
Speaker 2: fear and frustration. The first miracle in this passage, Joshua 6,

283
00:15:54,030 --> 00:15:56,310
Speaker 2: is not that Joshua blew a trumpet and.

284
00:15:56,290 --> 00:15:58,010
Speaker 1: A wall fell down. First of all, the priest blew

285
00:15:58,030 --> 00:15:58,850
Speaker 1: the trumpet. He didn't even blow it.

286
00:15:59,670 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: But secondly, the first miracle in the passage is that

287
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,390
Speaker 2: he is 90 years old, and still willing to do

288
00:16:08,430 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: what God says, even if it doesn't make sense, especially

289
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,740
Speaker 2: after all the years that he spent in the wilderness.

290
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,980
Speaker 2: You have to remember this is the same Joshua who

291
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,910
Speaker 2: has wandered with the Israelites for 40 years in the wilderness.

292
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:26,860
Speaker 2: After 40 years of wandering around, In the wilderness, Moses dies,

293
00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:31,090
Speaker 2: and Joshua is the new leader of the Israelites, and

294
00:16:31,390 --> 00:16:32,390
Speaker 2: he's not like Moses.

295
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:33,710
Speaker 1: This is what I love.

296
00:16:33,750 --> 00:16:42,940
Speaker 2: See, Moses made mistakes, but Joshua made adjustments. This is

297
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: the cycle of growth. I heard somebody say one time,

298
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: the only way to grow in life.

299
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,580
Speaker 1: Is to make mistakes. That's not true. That's not true

300
00:16:50,620 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: at all. You can make a lot of mistakes and

301
00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: not grow.

302
00:16:55,410 --> 00:16:59,050
Speaker 2: Only way to grow is to make mistakes, then make adjustments,

303
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,740
Speaker 2: and then you grow. Or else you spend 40 years

304
00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: like the Israelites circling the same wilderness.

305
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:10,820
Speaker 1: It's not how many mistakes you can make that would

306
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: help you to grow.

307
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,110
Speaker 2: If that's the case right now, let's just all cuss

308
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:15,129
Speaker 2: somebody out in church.

309
00:17:15,230 --> 00:17:18,390
Speaker 1: Let's make a mistake, and then we can grow. No.

310
00:17:19,810 --> 00:17:21,929
Speaker 2: After the mistake is made, the adjustment must be made.

311
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:26,100
Speaker 2: I was admiring … Joshua for all of the adjustments

312
00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:31,139
Speaker 2: that he made based on Moses' mistakes. I believe I'm

313
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,930
Speaker 2: preaching to a generation today in this student section that

314
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:38,830
Speaker 2: is going to make some adjustments in their generation because

315
00:17:38,869 --> 00:17:41,030
Speaker 2: they don't want to make the same mistakes that their

316
00:17:41,050 --> 00:17:43,730
Speaker 2: parents made. How many would praise God if your kid

317
00:17:43,790 --> 00:17:47,850
Speaker 2: would make some adjustments based on your mistakes? Isn't that

318
00:17:47,869 --> 00:17:52,550
Speaker 2: your heart for them? That's why I was preaching last week.

319
00:17:52,570 --> 00:17:56,870
Speaker 2: You can skip this. You can skip this, because some

320
00:17:57,030 --> 00:18:00,129
Speaker 2: dumb stuff we did you don't have to do, and

321
00:18:00,190 --> 00:18:03,670
Speaker 2: some years we wasted not worshiping God, you can invest

322
00:18:03,710 --> 00:18:06,260
Speaker 2: them wisely worshiping God, and you.

323
00:18:06,170 --> 00:18:06,780
Speaker 1: Can get ahead.

324
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: You know how sometimes you see a kid, and their

325
00:18:10,180 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: mom has red hair, but they don't have red hair,

326
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,100
Speaker 2: but then you'll say, it skips a generation?

327
00:18:15,660 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if we could say over some of these kids.

328
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:26,899
Speaker 2: That addiction is going to skip a generation. that suicidal

329
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: ideations are going to skip a generation, because you're going to.

330
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:34,850
Speaker 1: Live and not die and declare the work of the Lord.

331
00:18:35,390 --> 00:18:40,870
Speaker 2: So, where Moses made a mistake, Joshua made a just mess.

332
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:43,389
Speaker 2: Just say this out loud boldly. Say, I can do

333
00:18:43,450 --> 00:18:47,889
Speaker 2: it different. That's the most powerful thing you ever realize,

334
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:51,590
Speaker 2: is that I don't have to keep repeating this thing

335
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:55,070
Speaker 2: that I saw. I don't have to keep repeating this.

336
00:18:55,090 --> 00:18:56,710
Speaker 1: That's what the power of Christ does.

337
00:18:56,990 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: The power of Christ comes in our life not just

338
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:04,420
Speaker 2: to cover our sin, not just to hide our sin,

339
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,419
Speaker 2: but to help us so that the next time I

340
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:10,340
Speaker 2: come up on this situation, I do it a little different.

341
00:19:10,619 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 2: I tweak it a little bit. I don't say it

342
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 2: quite the same. I don't step in the same stuff

343
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,500
Speaker 2: over and over again and blame the dog for dropping it.

344
00:19:18,420 --> 00:19:19,550
Speaker 1: I can walk around that.

345
00:19:20,810 --> 00:19:27,510
Speaker 2: I only get to preach once these days.

346
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:29,910
Speaker 1: I used to preach three times. When I would preach

347
00:19:29,950 --> 00:19:31,490
Speaker 1: three times, I could fix the message.

348
00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:33,830
Speaker 2: I could do it different every time, but this time

349
00:19:33,869 --> 00:19:35,030
Speaker 2: I just have to do it once.

350
00:19:35,570 --> 00:19:36,950
Speaker 1: When I say something funny.

351
00:19:36,730 --> 00:19:39,429
Speaker 2: Like, you don't have to step in this twice, I

352
00:19:39,450 --> 00:19:42,060
Speaker 2: need you to shout to thank God that you don't

353
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:44,380
Speaker 2: have to go through the same crap forever.

354
00:19:51,670 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: And move on from it.

355
00:19:53,670 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: Joshua said,' We' re doing this different.' Say,' I' m doing this different.'

356
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,179
Speaker 2: Come on. Say,' I' m doing this different.' I'm doing this different.

357
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,899
Speaker 2: I'm not just going to wander in the wilderness and

358
00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 2: keep getting water from a rock.

359
00:20:08,180 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, water from a rock is.

360
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,619
Speaker 2: Nice, and I thank you, God, for it, but why

361
00:20:11,660 --> 00:20:14,140
Speaker 2: would I keep drinking water from a rock when you've

362
00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: promised me a land of milk and honey? I want

363
00:20:17,420 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: to do it different.

364
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can get by.

365
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,659
Speaker 2: With this, but I want God to break through in

366
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: my life, and I don't want to just survive something

367
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 2: I could skip.

368
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,820
Speaker 1: That's a powerful, powerful principle.

369
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,100
Speaker 2: That's a powerful principle that God gives you the grace

370
00:20:39,140 --> 00:20:41,109
Speaker 2: to make adjustments in your life. I wonder if he's

371
00:20:41,130 --> 00:20:42,590
Speaker 2: calling you to make one right now. I'll give you

372
00:20:42,609 --> 00:20:44,730
Speaker 2: an example from Joshua. I don't know if you've ever

373
00:20:44,770 --> 00:20:47,710
Speaker 2: noticed this, but when he sent the spies to check

374
00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:56,670
Speaker 2: out the promised land, he sent two. Moses sent 12,

375
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: and 10 of the 12 that Moses sent said, we

376
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:00,010
Speaker 2: can't do it.

377
00:21:02,420 --> 00:21:06,070
Speaker 1: Moses made mistakes. Joshua made adjustments.

378
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:16,450
Speaker 2: So, where Moses sent 12, Joshua sent two. Joshua said,

379
00:21:16,510 --> 00:21:24,689
Speaker 2: we need less opinions and more obedience. Are you going

380
00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:27,970
Speaker 2: to keep listening to the same friends whose advice got

381
00:21:28,010 --> 00:21:29,750
Speaker 2: you in this situation.

382
00:21:29,170 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: To begin with?

383
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:32,990
Speaker 2: Not even because they don't like you, but just because

384
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: they don't know. God has a strategy for every situation,

385
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 2: and so Joshua sent two. Not only that, but when

386
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: Moses took the people across the Red Sea … You

387
00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:47,060
Speaker 2: remember he stretched his staff? Well, when Joshua led them

388
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,180
Speaker 2: across the Jordan, God said, I want to do it different.

389
00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:52,129
Speaker 2: I'm not going to use the staff to do it.

390
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:54,609
Speaker 2: I'm not going to use the rod to do it,

391
00:21:55,020 --> 00:21:57,419
Speaker 2: but when the priest's feet touch the water, the waters

392
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,859
Speaker 2: will part, because God.

393
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: Is doing it differently.

394
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: The craziest thing we do is stand over something and

395
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,870
Speaker 2: stretch a staff when God told us to take a step.

396
00:22:09,850 --> 00:22:12,790
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, do it different. Come on. Why aren't

397
00:22:12,810 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: you talking to your neighbor? Don't you like him? You

398
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: chose to sit there. I didn't assign your seat.

399
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:20,900
Speaker 2: Tell him, do it different. I'm going to do it different.

400
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,270
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it different. I'm going to do

401
00:22:23,330 --> 00:22:23,870
Speaker 2: it different.

402
00:22:23,890 --> 00:22:26,590
Speaker 1: Let's get into the moment. We love this story not

403
00:22:26,690 --> 00:22:28,969
Speaker 1: only because of what it shows us about God, but

404
00:22:28,990 --> 00:22:32,510
Speaker 1: it's just a good story. It's just dramatic. It's just amazing.

405
00:22:32,730 --> 00:22:34,230
Speaker 1: God calls Joshua. He's like, here's what I'm going to do.

406
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:35,190
Speaker 1: All right, here's what I'm going to do.

407
00:22:35,210 --> 00:22:37,220
Speaker 2: Get seven priests, and get seven there, and then blow

408
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: the trumpet. to walk around for seven days, and when

409
00:22:39,380 --> 00:22:40,500
Speaker 2: they walk around on the seventh day, they can walk

410
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: around seven times. Just one time every day up to

411
00:22:42,140 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: the seventh day, but on the seventh day, walk around

412
00:22:43,420 --> 00:22:44,900
Speaker 2: seven times, and when they walk around seven times, they shout,

413
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,219
Speaker 2: and tell them not to shout, and tell them not

414
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: to shout, and tell them to shout, blow the trumpets

415
00:22:47,780 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: the whole time, but tell them not to shout, because

416
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: if they start shouting too early, they might start talking

417
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 2: when they get back to camp at night. If they

418
00:22:52,180 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: start talking when they get back to camp at night,

419
00:22:53,380 --> 00:22:55,619
Speaker 2: they might do what the generation under Moses did, and

420
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,230
Speaker 2: they start murmuring and gossiping, and they start gossiping, and

421
00:22:58,250 --> 00:23:00,109
Speaker 2: then they feel like grasshoppers, because they gossip their way

422
00:23:00,130 --> 00:23:01,869
Speaker 2: into feeling like grasshoppers when really I've given them the

423
00:23:01,910 --> 00:23:04,190
Speaker 2: power to defeat giants, and the enemy will start to

424
00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:06,950
Speaker 2: frustrate them. So tell them not to say anything, but just...

425
00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:12,070
Speaker 2: to march around the city for seven days. On the

426
00:23:12,130 --> 00:23:13,590
Speaker 2: seventh day, it's going to be good.

427
00:23:13,890 --> 00:23:15,710
Speaker 1: On the seventh day, the walls are going to fall.

428
00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:18,409
Speaker 1: Not only fall, but they're going to fall flat. They're

429
00:23:18,850 --> 00:23:21,050
Speaker 1: going to come down so you can go over them.

430
00:23:21,290 --> 00:23:22,230
Speaker 1: They're going to come down.

431
00:23:22,490 --> 00:23:24,850
Speaker 2: It's not just going to be normal rubble. I'm actually

432
00:23:24,869 --> 00:23:27,570
Speaker 2: going to flatten the walls so that they can get over.

433
00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:31,170
Speaker 2: I'm actually going to do something amazing in this situation.

434
00:23:32,090 --> 00:23:37,379
Speaker 2: This is the moment they have waited for. Do you

435
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,100
Speaker 2: understand they've been circumcised so that they are reminded of

436
00:23:41,140 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: the covenant? Do you understand that they've been through the

437
00:23:43,540 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: Jordan so that there's no going back to the wilderness?

438
00:23:46,580 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: Do you understand that Joshua has consecrated.

439
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:57,430
Speaker 1: Them and appointed leaders? This is We're there, man. We

440
00:23:57,630 --> 00:24:00,070
Speaker 1: are there. We're going to do it different. What that

441
00:24:00,130 --> 00:24:01,929
Speaker 1: generation couldn't do, we are going to do.

442
00:24:02,030 --> 00:24:03,330
Speaker 2: God's going to do for us.

443
00:24:03,730 --> 00:24:08,929
Speaker 1: We're going to do this. We're there. They didn't do it,

444
00:24:08,930 --> 00:24:12,449
Speaker 1: but this time around, we're going to fight. It's going

445
00:24:12,490 --> 00:24:13,750
Speaker 1: to be different.

446
00:24:14,730 --> 00:24:17,550
Speaker 2: So Joshua, son of Nun, called the priests and said

447
00:24:17,570 --> 00:24:18,830
Speaker 2: to them, Take up the ark of the covenant of

448
00:24:18,850 --> 00:24:20,610
Speaker 2: the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front

449
00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:20,810
Speaker 2: of them.

450
00:24:20,850 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: Verse 7. He ordered the army.

451
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 2: Now, this must have been music to their ears. They've

452
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: wandered around and around.

453
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,030
Speaker 1: For 40 years. Joshua says the word they've been waiting for,

454
00:24:36,369 --> 00:24:38,850
Speaker 1: verse 7, advance.

455
00:24:40,670 --> 00:24:43,429
Speaker 2: How good would that feel if you'd been stuck in

456
00:24:43,490 --> 00:24:45,150
Speaker 2: something for four decades?

457
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,139
Speaker 1: You can get out of this. It's yours. God is

458
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:56,830
Speaker 1: giving it to you. Go forward. Advance.

459
00:24:57,810 --> 00:25:01,869
Speaker 2: To hear this direction from Joshua, they have waited a

460
00:25:02,050 --> 00:25:06,179
Speaker 2: long time to go forward. They have waited years and

461
00:25:06,260 --> 00:25:09,980
Speaker 2: years for God to give them the next direction, because

462
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: although he sustained them in the wilderness, they were not

463
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: meant to permanently live there.

464
00:25:14,260 --> 00:25:15,980
Speaker 1: I keep bringing you back.

465
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,170
Speaker 2: To that, because there are moments in your life where

466
00:25:18,450 --> 00:25:19,030
Speaker 2: God will.

467
00:25:18,890 --> 00:25:22,550
Speaker 1: Say, move forward. Go forward. Move on.

468
00:25:23,150 --> 00:25:26,510
Speaker 2: Move on with a broken heart. Move on with a

469
00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:30,820
Speaker 2: lot of questions. Move on with unpaid bills. Move on

470
00:25:31,130 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: with bad credit. Move on with the tendency still. Move on. So,

471
00:25:37,380 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 2: when Joshua gathered the people and said, advance, I bet

472
00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:46,699
Speaker 2: they were ready to tear down the goalposts on Jericho,

473
00:25:47,340 --> 00:25:48,830
Speaker 2: because they had been waiting for this.

474
00:25:49,850 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: But here's what got.

475
00:25:51,630 --> 00:25:53,210
Speaker 2: My attention and why I read you that one verse

476
00:25:53,270 --> 00:25:54,810
Speaker 2: at the beginning, because I was very strategic when I

477
00:25:54,850 --> 00:25:57,050
Speaker 2: read you, because I want to read you this. He said,

478
00:25:57,190 --> 00:26:04,270
Speaker 2: put it back up, advance, march around the city. I

479
00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:09,250
Speaker 2: will remind you that these people have just spent 40

480
00:26:09,250 --> 00:26:14,070
Speaker 2: years walking around the wilderness.

481
00:26:15,150 --> 00:26:17,970
Speaker 1: So now they've come to the moment, and this is it.

482
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: He's going to bring us in.

483
00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:19,939
Speaker 2: This is it.

484
00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:22,379
Speaker 1: Milk and honey. This is it. Giant's fall. This is it.

485
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,980
Speaker 1: Joshua says, advance.

486
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,220
Speaker 2: No sooner can they high-five than Joshua says the next word,

487
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: the one word they didn't want to hear, around.

488
00:26:37,230 --> 00:26:40,050
Speaker 1: Hold up. I don't know if I heard you right. Joshua,

489
00:26:41,550 --> 00:26:42,570
Speaker 1: you said advance, right?

490
00:26:42,590 --> 00:26:46,590
Speaker 2: Because I met with God, and he told me he

491
00:26:46,609 --> 00:26:47,350
Speaker 2: gave us the land.

492
00:26:48,330 --> 00:26:51,590
Speaker 1: Okay, but then Joshua, it sounded like you said around

493
00:26:53,230 --> 00:26:53,629
Speaker 1: the city.

494
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: Because I met with God, and that's what he told

495
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,500
Speaker 2: us to do, so we're going to go around. So

496
00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:06,580
Speaker 2: which one is it, Captain Joshua? Are we advancing or

497
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 2: are we rounding? I made the word rounding up, but

498
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,030
Speaker 2: you know exactly what I mean by rounding, don't you?

499
00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:17,030
Speaker 2: When you circle the same situation over and over again …

500
00:27:18,260 --> 00:27:20,940
Speaker 2: When you circle the same problem over and over again

501
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: and you think that you're making progress on something only

502
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: to end up exactly where you started.

503
00:27:29,010 --> 00:27:30,790
Speaker 1: Come on. To think that you have.

504
00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:34,330
Speaker 2: Forgiven an offense and only to feel the bitterness come

505
00:27:34,369 --> 00:27:37,090
Speaker 2: back with a vengeance when they post their new car

506
00:27:37,470 --> 00:27:41,590
Speaker 2: that their new husband bought them on Facebook is to say, now,

507
00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:42,530
Speaker 2: wait a minute, God.

508
00:27:42,930 --> 00:27:47,110
Speaker 1: I thought we were moving on, but you said around.

509
00:27:48,690 --> 00:27:52,090
Speaker 2: Because if the Enemy can't use fear to keep you

510
00:27:52,109 --> 00:27:57,020
Speaker 2: from going in or if he can't use frustration, he'll

511
00:27:57,140 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: use your future.

512
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,180
Speaker 1: I will explain.

513
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,460
Speaker 2: The Enemy wants to use your future as a tool

514
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: to get you.

515
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: To neglect the now. That's it right there. To neglect

516
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:14,940
Speaker 1: the now.

517
00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:19,340
Speaker 2: I had two pastoral conversations in the last few weeks,

518
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,420
Speaker 2: and both of them were remarkable. One of them was

519
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,659
Speaker 2: with a young man who's in his 30s, and he

520
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:26,859
Speaker 2: said something strange to me.

521
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: He said, I'm really looking forward to my 40s.

522
00:28:32,780 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: I said, oh?

523
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: He said, yeah.

524
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:39,790
Speaker 2: I think my 40s are going to be wonderful. I

525
00:28:39,810 --> 00:28:42,050
Speaker 2: think my 40s are going to be amazing. Now, remember,

526
00:28:42,090 --> 00:28:44,230
Speaker 2: he's in his early 30s. It's not like he's 39

527
00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:47,670
Speaker 2: and having a birthday next week. He still has a

528
00:28:47,710 --> 00:28:51,030
Speaker 2: few years to go before 40. He said, I cannot

529
00:28:51,170 --> 00:28:55,290
Speaker 2: wait for my 40s. I said, What's going to be

530
00:28:55,310 --> 00:29:00,370
Speaker 2: different in your 40s? He said, Financially more stable. My

531
00:29:00,490 --> 00:29:06,730
Speaker 2: kids will need less from me. He started describing something

532
00:29:06,750 --> 00:29:11,870
Speaker 2: to me. The funny thing is, I'm listening to him

533
00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:14,670
Speaker 2: from these magical 40s.

534
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: From these fantastic 40s.

535
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,420
Speaker 2: I'm going like, bro, have you ever had somebody show

536
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,660
Speaker 2: you something on their phone, and you look at.

537
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,660
Speaker 1: It, and you go, I'm sorry to tell you this,

538
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: but that's not real.

539
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:37,410
Speaker 2: Those 75 Asian kids all playing Stairway to Heaven and

540
00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:38,450
Speaker 2: Perfect Synchronization.

541
00:29:38,790 --> 00:29:45,660
Speaker 1: That is not real. That's AI.

542
00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to look at him and be like, bro,

543
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:54,380
Speaker 2: I hear what you're describing, this version of.

544
00:29:54,370 --> 00:29:56,370
Speaker 1: Your future that is frustration-free.

545
00:29:57,470 --> 00:30:00,370
Speaker 2: I hear what you're describing, but that's not real.

546
00:30:01,790 --> 00:30:02,209
Speaker 3: That's AI.

547
00:30:02,230 --> 00:30:08,450
Speaker 1: That's AI. AI stands for arrival illusion.

548
00:30:12,150 --> 00:30:15,410
Speaker 2: That's the myth of when I get there, because he's

549
00:30:15,470 --> 00:30:18,380
Speaker 2: struggling so much in his 30s. I mean, life has

550
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:20,820
Speaker 2: got him by the throat in his 30s, and he's going,

551
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,180
Speaker 2: if I could just turn 40, and somebody's 40 like,

552
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,180
Speaker 2: if I could just be 30. So, you're looking for

553
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 2: fast forward. I'm looking for rewind, and neither one is real.

554
00:30:40,620 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: Touch somebody and say, that's not real. That's not even real.

555
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,459
Speaker 2: When we get there, we're going to walk up, and

556
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,460
Speaker 2: the people are going to bow down.

557
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,980
Speaker 1: To us, and they're going to give us the promised land.

558
00:30:51,220 --> 00:30:53,580
Speaker 2: Just because God gave us the promised land doesn't mean

559
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,690
Speaker 2: we won't fight for it.

560
00:30:55,060 --> 00:31:06,690
Speaker 1: We've got to fight for this. Advance around. Advance around.

561
00:31:07,550 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: Advance around. Advance.

562
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,290
Speaker 2: All progress doesn't feel like a straight line with God.

563
00:31:17,470 --> 00:31:19,670
Speaker 1: Advance around.

564
00:31:20,590 --> 00:31:23,030
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get dizzy doing this illustration, but

565
00:31:23,070 --> 00:31:24,930
Speaker 2: just soak it in real quick, and then I'll quit.

566
00:31:25,370 --> 00:31:29,230
Speaker 1: Advance around.

567
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,620
Speaker 2: The same week that my friend in his 30s said

568
00:31:31,660 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: that to me, one of my friends who's a pastor

569
00:31:34,220 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: said to me, you know, year 10 of pastoring is

570
00:31:37,420 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: really rough. I said, is it now? Tell me about that.

571
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:43,730
Speaker 2: He said, it's really rough. Don't have all the resources.

572
00:31:44,050 --> 00:31:46,390
Speaker 2: Got all this debt we're having to take on. He said,

573
00:31:46,450 --> 00:31:49,650
Speaker 2: I just look forward to year 20.

574
00:31:49,930 --> 00:31:51,390
Speaker 1: It just so happens.

575
00:31:50,930 --> 00:31:56,990
Speaker 2: That I can send him a postcard from year 20.

576
00:31:56,990 --> 00:32:04,690
Speaker 2: Everything he's imagining about year 20, I'm living it.

577
00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: It is amazing. It is great. Now, you've had people

578
00:32:09,150 --> 00:32:09,910
Speaker 1: do this to you too.

579
00:32:11,350 --> 00:32:15,430
Speaker 2: There is somebody who has looked at your life, and

580
00:32:15,470 --> 00:32:17,110
Speaker 2: they see it as frustration-free.

581
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:24,540
Speaker 1: You just want to scream back at them what it

582
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:32,620
Speaker 1: actually cost you to be you. So, let me make

583
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: an announcement. It's not real. It's not real. Let me

584
00:32:39,580 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: help you with this. It's AI.

585
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: It's a rival illusion. It's like the Israelites. When we

586
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: get there, we're going to get there.

587
00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:49,550
Speaker 1: We're there. We're going in. Ah, not yet. You're going

588
00:32:49,570 --> 00:32:51,810
Speaker 1: around and around.

589
00:32:51,850 --> 00:32:53,230
Speaker 2: But we just went around. Yeah, but you're going to

590
00:32:53,250 --> 00:32:57,370
Speaker 2: keep going around, because you're always going to be circling something.

591
00:32:59,650 --> 00:33:06,290
Speaker 2: You're going to either be circling the wilderness or the walls.

592
00:33:08,910 --> 00:33:10,170
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that again.

593
00:33:11,130 --> 00:33:14,250
Speaker 2: I guess my mic cut out because you didn't say

594
00:33:14,350 --> 00:33:17,670
Speaker 2: anything when I said that. You're either going to be

595
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:20,250
Speaker 2: circling the wilderness or the walls.

596
00:33:20,310 --> 00:33:23,530
Speaker 1: Somebody shout, give me the walls. I'll take the walls.

597
00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:24,930
Speaker 1: I'll take the walls.

598
00:33:24,970 --> 00:33:28,530
Speaker 2: See, because the difference between the wilderness and the walls

599
00:33:28,890 --> 00:33:31,170
Speaker 2: is that a wilderness, no matter how much you walk

600
00:33:31,230 --> 00:33:39,070
Speaker 2: around in it, a wilderness cannot move, but walls can fall.

601
00:33:40,430 --> 00:33:42,460
Speaker 1: Walls. Cans.

602
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,020
Speaker 2: Fall. We love this passage, because it reminds us that

603
00:33:48,180 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: walls can fall.

604
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:53,370
Speaker 1: You can come out of debt. You can come out

605
00:33:53,380 --> 00:33:55,790
Speaker 1: of depression. You can come out of defeat.

606
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,290
Speaker 2: You can survive a divorce and love again.

607
00:33:59,610 --> 00:34:00,430
Speaker 1: You can.

608
00:34:02,090 --> 00:34:04,830
Speaker 2: Deal with a diagnosis and not lose your mind, even

609
00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:08,969
Speaker 2: if the enemy attacks your body. Walls can fall, but

610
00:34:09,010 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 2: the interesting thing about the passage to me is not

611
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: the shout.

612
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:16,020
Speaker 1: It's the silence.

613
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: The interesting thing to me is not.

614
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: The seventh day that they shouted. That's the good part.

615
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:27,419
Speaker 1: That's the preachable part.

616
00:34:27,739 --> 00:34:30,700
Speaker 2: That's the part we put in a song. My praise

617
00:34:31,020 --> 00:34:34,390
Speaker 2: is the waters my enemies drown in. My praise is

618
00:34:34,430 --> 00:34:38,189
Speaker 2: the shout that brings Jericho down. But I see this

619
00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:44,950
Speaker 2: passage as being about persistence more than praise. I don't

620
00:34:44,989 --> 00:34:48,830
Speaker 2: see this passage as being so much about the day

621
00:34:48,870 --> 00:34:51,390
Speaker 2: they shouted and the walls fell.

622
00:34:52,730 --> 00:34:54,850
Speaker 1: I think faith is about the days you show up

623
00:34:55,110 --> 00:34:55,569
Speaker 1: and they don't.

624
00:34:55,570 --> 00:35:07,109
Speaker 2: 54 years old, talking about, I can't wait to get

625
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:07,930
Speaker 2: to my 60s.

626
00:35:07,989 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get to my 70s.

627
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: I mean, how long are you going to wait for

628
00:35:11,580 --> 00:35:14,299
Speaker 2: God to do something for you? If the enemy can't

629
00:35:14,340 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: make you fearful about what you're facing, if he can't

630
00:35:16,420 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: make you frustrated about what you're facing, he'll just make

631
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: you look forward to the future. He just gives AI

632
00:35:21,940 --> 00:35:23,430
Speaker 2: this arrival illusion.

633
00:35:23,489 --> 00:35:24,150
Speaker 1: It's an illusion.

634
00:35:24,450 --> 00:35:28,350
Speaker 2: So now you are standing in the future that you imagined,

635
00:35:29,790 --> 00:35:32,690
Speaker 2: and you are waiting on the one that isn't real.

636
00:35:34,610 --> 00:35:35,430
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying?

637
00:35:36,530 --> 00:35:41,470
Speaker 2: There is no version of your future that is frustration-free,

638
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:46,350
Speaker 2: but there can be a stronger.

639
00:35:45,989 --> 00:35:50,430
Speaker 1: You that steps into it. There is no version.

640
00:35:51,510 --> 00:35:53,969
Speaker 2: Of your future or my future … There is no

641
00:35:54,050 --> 00:35:56,850
Speaker 2: version of your life that is frustration-free.

642
00:35:57,989 --> 00:35:59,450
Speaker 1: If you are broke and you.

643
00:35:59,370 --> 00:36:01,430
Speaker 2: Get the money to pay off your bills, you will

644
00:36:01,469 --> 00:36:04,069
Speaker 2: now have the frustration of having enough money to pay

645
00:36:04,130 --> 00:36:06,469
Speaker 2: off bills, which means people are going to want to borrow.

646
00:36:06,489 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: You're going to go from the frustration of being broke

647
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,180
Speaker 2: to the frustration of people wanting to borrow. There is

648
00:36:12,660 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 2: no version of your future that is frustration-free. There is

649
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,420
Speaker 2: no advance without a round. There is no moment in

650
00:36:22,460 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 2: your life … I know.

651
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,170
Speaker 1: How we get. We get AI. We get a rival illusion.

652
00:36:25,870 --> 00:36:27,570
Speaker 2: Like, I can't wait for the day I'm going to

653
00:36:27,610 --> 00:36:30,430
Speaker 2: get my temper under control. You may never have your

654
00:36:30,469 --> 00:36:34,700
Speaker 2: temper under control. You may need the Holy Spirit all

655
00:36:34,739 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 2: the time. to help you with what you can't control. Yeah,

656
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:42,900
Speaker 2: you may get a little older. You may not want

657
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,580
Speaker 2: to rage as much anymore. You may just not even

658
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,620
Speaker 2: have the strength to yell about stuff, so it may

659
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: change a little bit, but that anger … This is

660
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 2: what I said to my friend who's in his 30s

661
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:51,980
Speaker 2: who wants to get to his 40s. This is what

662
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: I said to my friend who wanted to get to

663
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,580
Speaker 2: year 20. I said, there is no version of your

664
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,860
Speaker 2: future that is struggle-free.

665
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: But what you.

666
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:12,390
Speaker 2: Do now determines which you walks into that future.

667
00:37:13,270 --> 00:37:16,310
Speaker 1: Are you with me? I have just a little bit more.

668
00:37:16,330 --> 00:37:19,740
Speaker 1: I have to get you there. Somebody shout, That's what

669
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,500
Speaker 1: they thought. We're there. It's the promised land. It's Jericho.

670
00:37:22,860 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: Joshua confirms it. He goes,' Advance!

671
00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:26,660
Speaker 2: Yeah!

672
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:27,220
Speaker 1: Advance!

673
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,550
Speaker 2: Let's go!

674
00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:31,410
Speaker 1: Advance! March around! Around!

675
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:38,470
Speaker 2: We've got around down. We want to go ahead!' I

676
00:37:38,489 --> 00:37:41,690
Speaker 2: got struggled down. I want to get to my 40s.

677
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:44,710
Speaker 2: My 40s is going to be paid off, and it's

678
00:37:44,790 --> 00:37:47,930
Speaker 2: going to be peaceful, and it's going to be amazing.

679
00:37:48,270 --> 00:37:50,910
Speaker 1: Right? Lie to me. Tell me it is. I have

680
00:37:50,930 --> 00:37:51,609
Speaker 1: to believe it.

681
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,020
Speaker 2: There is no version of your future that is frustration-free,

682
00:37:58,660 --> 00:38:02,170
Speaker 2: but there can be a stronger you that steps into it.

683
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 2: So now I know why God told him to walk around.

684
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,109
Speaker 2: because he needed to teach them to follow more than

685
00:38:11,130 --> 00:38:12,330
Speaker 2: he needed to teach them how to fight.

686
00:38:12,350 --> 00:38:20,549
Speaker 1: That hit me when I saw it. Watch.

687
00:38:20,590 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: This is the part I saw, because essentially what my

688
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,100
Speaker 2: friends are saying, I want to get to the good part.

689
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,140
Speaker 1: How many have felt that way?

690
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 2: I want to get to the good part, like the

691
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: easy part of life, like the good part of relationship.

692
00:38:32,469 --> 00:38:35,390
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I … I pray that for you.

693
00:38:35,860 --> 00:38:37,570
Speaker 2: I want goodness and mercy to follow you all the

694
00:38:37,610 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 2: days of your life, but.

695
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:41,140
Speaker 1: The idea that.

696
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:48,500
Speaker 2: This good part is coming … It's the myth of

697
00:38:48,540 --> 00:38:51,620
Speaker 2: when I get there, and I'll prove it to you.

698
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,540
Speaker 2: You know this, but maybe you just need me to

699
00:38:53,580 --> 00:38:56,899
Speaker 2: point it out, but you already know. After the walls fell,

700
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,450
Speaker 2: they still had to fight. After they fought that battle,

701
00:39:01,650 --> 00:39:06,390
Speaker 2: they still had to defeat 31 kings. So, we shout

702
00:39:06,469 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: over seven days, and the walls fell. Well, that's awesome,

703
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,500
Speaker 2: but guess how long it took them to take the land?

704
00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:20,460
Speaker 2: Seven years. You're always going to be circling something. That's

705
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:22,950
Speaker 2: why you have to stop while you're circling and just

706
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:24,310
Speaker 2: praise the Lord for.

707
00:39:24,230 --> 00:39:26,250
Speaker 1: Where I am right now.

708
00:39:28,650 --> 00:39:31,710
Speaker 2: You've been trying to get to the good part, get

709
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:33,530
Speaker 2: to the part where you're strong, get to the part

710
00:39:33,550 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: where you've got.

711
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: This … You have to manage now. You have to

712
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: tighten now. You have to right now. You lost the

713
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:40,460
Speaker 1: weight now. You gained the muscle now. You lost the fat.

714
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,259
Speaker 1: You gained the muscle. You did this stuff. You did

715
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,380
Speaker 1: it all. I'm going to get there. When I get

716
00:39:44,420 --> 00:39:46,210
Speaker 1: there … It's the myth of when.

717
00:39:48,170 --> 00:39:51,950
Speaker 2: I get there, but the miracle of Joshua, chapter 6,

718
00:39:51,950 --> 00:39:55,390
Speaker 2: is not the seventh day when they shouted. It's the

719
00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:59,650
Speaker 2: second day when they showed up. I said the real

720
00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:04,689
Speaker 2: miracle of Joshua, chapter 6, is not the seventh day

721
00:40:04,730 --> 00:40:08,980
Speaker 2: when they shouted. It's the second day when they showed up.

722
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:12,339
Speaker 2: They showed up the second day, the third day. Let's

723
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,219
Speaker 2: imagine this. Since we have great imaginations and we can

724
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,380
Speaker 2: imagine the future, let's imagine the passage. Advance around the city,

725
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:23,140
Speaker 2: and don't say anything, because I can't have you talking

726
00:40:23,180 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 2: about how stupid.

727
00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:25,540
Speaker 1: This feels to go around.

728
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,580
Speaker 2: Now, on the first day, you're fired up. I don't

729
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,899
Speaker 2: know why we're walking around, but something good is about

730
00:40:35,940 --> 00:40:38,660
Speaker 2: to happen. We're about to go in, only to find

731
00:40:38,780 --> 00:40:41,900
Speaker 2: out when you get home that night and take off

732
00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:45,500
Speaker 2: your armor, you have to explain to your wife that

733
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,220
Speaker 2: you went for a walk today.

734
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 1: Imagine your wife. She's like,' How did it go today?'

735
00:40:53,730 --> 00:40:56,290
Speaker 1: Did we take Jericho? Did we take him, baby? Did

736
00:40:56,310 --> 00:40:59,190
Speaker 1: we take him? Did we take him, you big, strong warrior?

737
00:40:59,230 --> 00:41:02,750
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, well, about that, man.

738
00:41:02,770 --> 00:41:06,790
Speaker 2: It was kind of interesting today because he said advance,

739
00:41:07,750 --> 00:41:09,450
Speaker 2: but then he said around, so we were.

740
00:41:09,390 --> 00:41:12,569
Speaker 1: Like fired up in the Holy Ghost.

741
00:41:12,650 --> 00:41:15,690
Speaker 2: We were fired up in the Holy Ghost, but we

742
00:41:15,770 --> 00:41:21,850
Speaker 2: fired up, but then we were kind of frustrated because all.

743
00:41:21,739 --> 00:41:26,130
Speaker 1: We did was walk. and we're right back where we started.

744
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of nice. They had some

745
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,580
Speaker 1: trumpets and stuff. It was peaceful, you know, epic sounding.

746
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: It sounded like something was about to happen. Trumpets were blown.

747
00:41:38,300 --> 00:41:46,469
Speaker 1: It sounded like … But then, here we are back home.

748
00:41:46,489 --> 00:41:50,750
Speaker 2: Remember I told you last week Jericho isn't big.

749
00:41:50,770 --> 00:41:52,089
Speaker 1: It only took about 10 or 15 minutes.

750
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 2: They have to explain to her, why are you back

751
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: home and it's 8.30 in the morning?

752
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: I thought you had a job. I thought you had

753
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,100
Speaker 1: a fight.

754
00:42:03,660 --> 00:42:06,819
Speaker 2: Why am I dramatizing this?

755
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: I think you feel like that some days.

756
00:42:11,260 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: I think you feel like that a lot of times

757
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,260
Speaker 2: when you're trying to have a conversation with your parents,

758
00:42:15,580 --> 00:42:18,500
Speaker 2: but they never listen to you.

759
00:42:18,540 --> 00:42:22,290
Speaker 1: You're like, why can't we make any progress here? We

760
00:42:22,310 --> 00:42:27,790
Speaker 1: just go round and round. Around and around and around.

761
00:42:28,750 --> 00:42:30,649
Speaker 1: I took my wife on a date night, and guess

762
00:42:30,670 --> 00:42:36,469
Speaker 1: what it ended in? A fight. Around and around. I

763
00:42:36,590 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: even got her flowers. I got her flowers, and she.

764
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,700
Speaker 2: Said they looked kind of dead. See, the reason I

765
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: took her on the date night is so we could

766
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,950
Speaker 2: end up somewhere different.

767
00:42:54,020 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: After the date.

768
00:42:56,210 --> 00:42:59,950
Speaker 2: But here we are, still both on opposite sides of

769
00:42:59,989 --> 00:43:05,739
Speaker 2: the bed, just round and round Now, I have to

770
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,010
Speaker 2: move through this point, but who am I preaching to today?

771
00:43:09,610 --> 00:43:12,430
Speaker 2: In an area of your life, you are like, I

772
00:43:12,530 --> 00:43:16,530
Speaker 2: am sick of circling this. I am sick of dealing

773
00:43:16,570 --> 00:43:20,330
Speaker 2: with this. I am sick of going through this. I

774
00:43:21,070 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: walked around enough in the wilderness. I thought I was there.

775
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:26,570
Speaker 2: This is supposed to be my 40s.

776
00:43:26,700 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: You see this gray hair? How come I still don't.

777
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:34,149
Speaker 2: Know what I'm doing with my life? And I've got

778
00:43:34,210 --> 00:43:37,770
Speaker 2: gray hair. I was supposed to be there by now.

779
00:43:42,660 --> 00:43:44,410
Speaker 1: I know you've been feeling that. I know you've been

780
00:43:44,430 --> 00:43:45,950
Speaker 1: feeling that. You want to get to the good part.

781
00:43:46,130 --> 00:43:47,690
Speaker 1: Come on, God. Bring the walls down. Come on, God.

782
00:43:47,850 --> 00:43:49,910
Speaker 1: Bring the giant down. Come on, God. Split the Jordan.

783
00:43:49,950 --> 00:43:51,930
Speaker 1: Split the sea. Do the thing. Do it, God. Do

784
00:43:51,969 --> 00:43:52,850
Speaker 1: it for me. Do it for them.

785
00:43:52,989 --> 00:43:53,469
Speaker 4: Do it for Daniel.

786
00:43:53,630 --> 00:43:54,710
Speaker 2: Do it for Elijah. Do it for Moses.

787
00:43:54,890 --> 00:43:57,660
Speaker 1: Do it for me. Do it for Joshua. I'll shout, God.

788
00:43:57,890 --> 00:43:58,219
Speaker 2: I'll shout.

789
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,020
Speaker 1: Hallelujah. I'll shout. Thank you, Jesus.

790
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: But the miracle is less about the shout when the

791
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,730
Speaker 2: walls fall It's more about showing up when they don't.

792
00:44:13,570 --> 00:44:20,209
Speaker 2: Because you don't need God to be more specific. You

793
00:44:20,250 --> 00:44:27,950
Speaker 2: need to take the next step. I need you to

794
00:44:27,989 --> 00:44:31,390
Speaker 2: be more specific, God. Notice what Joshua did not tell

795
00:44:31,870 --> 00:44:36,650
Speaker 2: the people. He didn't tell them anything about the seven days.

796
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: Find it. Find it, and I'll retire on the spot.

797
00:44:42,739 --> 00:44:44,900
Speaker 2: I'll turn in my preaching microphone and my badge and

798
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,540
Speaker 2: my gun, and I'll never preach again.

799
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:50,740
Speaker 1: If you can find where Joshua told.

800
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,870
Speaker 2: The people, all right, y'all, it's going to be kind

801
00:44:53,910 --> 00:44:57,029
Speaker 2: of weird, but we're going to walk around, but it's

802
00:44:57,050 --> 00:44:58,470
Speaker 2: going to be good because we're going to have trumpets,

803
00:44:58,489 --> 00:45:02,549
Speaker 2: and it's going to intimidate the enemy, and.

804
00:45:01,790 --> 00:45:05,170
Speaker 1: On the seventh day, we're going to take seven laps.

805
00:45:05,670 --> 00:45:07,990
Speaker 1: We're going to really turn it up on the seventh day.

806
00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:10,850
Speaker 1: We're going to shout, and the walls are going to

807
00:45:10,910 --> 00:45:11,390
Speaker 1: fall down.

808
00:45:11,770 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 2: Find me where Joshua told them what was going to

809
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,219
Speaker 2: happen on the seventh day. He didn't tell them any

810
00:45:17,260 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: of that. Instead of giving them the specifics, he gave

811
00:45:23,060 --> 00:45:24,460
Speaker 2: them a step.

812
00:45:25,620 --> 00:45:32,010
Speaker 5: When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests

813
00:45:32,070 --> 00:45:36,110
Speaker 5: carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward.

814
00:45:36,910 --> 00:45:41,290
Speaker 2: Blowing their trumpets, so they're going forward, but they're going around,

815
00:45:41,370 --> 00:45:44,740
Speaker 2: so they're obeying God, but nothing is changing, and not

816
00:45:44,780 --> 00:45:47,100
Speaker 2: a brick is falling from the wall, and not a

817
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 2: sign is coming from the sky, and not a single

818
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 2: evidence that God has spoken is presenting and manifesting itself

819
00:45:54,420 --> 00:45:59,570
Speaker 2: in physical form, but they went forward, blowing their trumpets,

820
00:45:59,910 --> 00:46:02,830
Speaker 2: and the ark of of the Lord's covenant followed them.

821
00:46:03,270 --> 00:46:06,750
Speaker 2: The armed guard marched ahead of the priest who blew

822
00:46:06,790 --> 00:46:11,790
Speaker 2: the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All

823
00:46:11,870 --> 00:46:15,330
Speaker 2: this time the trumpets were sounding, but Joshua had commanded

824
00:46:15,350 --> 00:46:18,110
Speaker 2: the army, Don't give a cry, don't raise your voice,

825
00:46:18,330 --> 00:46:20,089
Speaker 2: don't say a word until the day I tell you

826
00:46:20,110 --> 00:46:29,500
Speaker 2: to shout Then shout, So he had the ark of

827
00:46:29,540 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: the Lord. The ark of the Lord represented the presence

828
00:46:33,140 --> 00:46:36,580
Speaker 2: and the protection and the power of God. It's where

829
00:46:36,620 --> 00:46:39,859
Speaker 2: the Ten Commandments lived. It's where the manna lived. It's

830
00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:42,779
Speaker 2: where Aaron's rod lived. It's where what they went through

831
00:46:42,820 --> 00:46:45,950
Speaker 2: in the wilderness was commemorated for them to take forward

832
00:46:45,989 --> 00:46:48,690
Speaker 2: into their future. So he had the ark of the

833
00:46:48,750 --> 00:46:53,069
Speaker 2: Lord carried around the city, around the city. So, they're

834
00:46:53,090 --> 00:46:56,969
Speaker 2: walking around, but they are not alone. I came to

835
00:46:57,030 --> 00:47:00,180
Speaker 2: preach to somebody today. You may be walking around it,

836
00:47:00,410 --> 00:47:02,060
Speaker 2: but you are not alone in it.

837
00:47:02,350 --> 00:47:04,810
Speaker 1: The ark of God is with you. The presence of

838
00:47:04,830 --> 00:47:06,810
Speaker 1: God is with you. He said they took the ark,

839
00:47:06,820 --> 00:47:08,779
Speaker 1: and they carried it around the city, circling it once.

840
00:47:16,020 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.

841
00:47:20,180 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests

842
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 2: took up the ark of the Lord. The seven priests

843
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark

844
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,180
Speaker 2: of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men

845
00:47:33,219 --> 00:47:35,660
Speaker 2: went ahead of them, and the rear guard followed the

846
00:47:35,860 --> 00:47:39,290
Speaker 2: ark of the Lord while the trumpets kept sounding. So

847
00:47:39,390 --> 00:47:40,830
Speaker 2: on the second day they marched forward.

848
00:47:41,130 --> 00:47:45,109
Speaker 1: Around the city once and returned to the camp, they

849
00:47:45,170 --> 00:47:48,270
Speaker 1: did this six days. Verse 15.

850
00:47:48,270 --> 00:47:51,489
Speaker 2: On the seventh day … That's the good part. That's

851
00:47:51,530 --> 00:47:53,630
Speaker 2: the part you want to get to. That's the part

852
00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:55,690
Speaker 2: you want to skip to. That's the part you want

853
00:47:55,730 --> 00:47:57,029
Speaker 2: God to bring you to. That's when you're going to

854
00:47:57,050 --> 00:47:58,750
Speaker 2: be grateful. That's when you're going to feel good. That's

855
00:47:58,770 --> 00:48:00,210
Speaker 2: when you're going to have an assurance. That's when you're

856
00:48:00,230 --> 00:48:01,569
Speaker 2: going to be kinder. That's when you're going to forgive.

857
00:48:01,790 --> 00:48:04,110
Speaker 2: That's when you're going to move on. On the seventh

858
00:48:04,210 --> 00:48:06,529
Speaker 2: day … They did this for six days, and on

859
00:48:06,570 --> 00:48:08,910
Speaker 2: the seventh day … That's the good part, but I

860
00:48:08,969 --> 00:48:11,310
Speaker 2: want to tell you … Stop waiting.

861
00:48:10,989 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: To get to the good part. Get to the God part.

862
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,899
Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>

863
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,340
Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>

864
00:48:27,390 --> 00:48:31,029
Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>

865
00:48:31,810 --> 00:48:35,250
Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>

866
00:48:35,410 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: <HAL> And so on every day that they marched, they

867
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: had the ark. Even when no bricks moved, they had

868
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 2: the ark. Even when there was no visible sign of progress,

869
00:48:50,420 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: come on, I'm preaching, they had the ark. On the

870
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,100
Speaker 2: second day when they felt stupid going around the walls,

871
00:48:56,739 --> 00:48:57,470
Speaker 2: they had the ark.

872
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: On the third day.

873
00:48:59,070 --> 00:49:01,629
Speaker 2: When they were starting to question, is anything ever going

874
00:49:01,670 --> 00:49:04,610
Speaker 2: to happen? Because Joshua never told them, on the seventh

875
00:49:04,630 --> 00:49:07,029
Speaker 2: day it's coming down. They just had to do it

876
00:49:07,650 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 2: this time around. Not so focused on the seventh time

877
00:49:16,140 --> 00:49:17,110
Speaker 2: that you missed this.

878
00:49:17,130 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: I have the ark this time around.

879
00:49:22,580 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: My life started changing when I stopped looking for the

880
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,540
Speaker 2: good part and started looking for the God part. I

881
00:49:30,580 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: found out that in the highs of my life there's

882
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,010
Speaker 2: a God part, but in the lows of my life

883
00:49:36,410 --> 00:49:37,750
Speaker 2: there's a God part too.

884
00:49:38,230 --> 00:49:40,190
Speaker 1: I have the ark that in.

885
00:49:40,170 --> 00:49:43,750
Speaker 2: The seasons where people are surrounding me, there's a God part.

886
00:49:44,180 --> 00:49:47,980
Speaker 2: But in the seasons where I'm all alone, crying myself

887
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,219
Speaker 2: to sleep, and nobody texting to check on me.

888
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,300
Speaker 1: I've got the ark.

889
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,220
Speaker 2: The reason I can survive as I circle this issue

890
00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: in my life is not because I'm watching walls fall,

891
00:50:01,540 --> 00:50:04,590
Speaker 2: and it's not because I have proof. It's because I

892
00:50:04,630 --> 00:50:09,270
Speaker 2: have his presence. I came to remind somebody today, you've

893
00:50:09,290 --> 00:50:10,069
Speaker 2: got the ark.

894
00:50:10,630 --> 00:50:12,370
Speaker 1: You've got the presence of God.

895
00:50:12,790 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: You've got the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.

896
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: Not when you get there, but.

897
00:50:18,780 --> 00:50:30,410
Speaker 1: Right here, right now. You've got God. If you've got God,

898
00:50:31,070 --> 00:50:35,550
Speaker 1: I can circle this as long as it takes, because

899
00:50:35,950 --> 00:50:38,070
Speaker 1: I've got God.

900
00:50:38,830 --> 00:50:42,570
Speaker 2: I'm not waiting for a wall to begin to crumble

901
00:50:42,910 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 2: for me to have faith, because I have God on

902
00:50:46,660 --> 00:50:50,940
Speaker 2: every circle I make. If somebody is cussing me out,

903
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,900
Speaker 2: I have God. If they fire me, I have God.

904
00:50:55,219 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 2: If they promote me, I have God.

905
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,140
Speaker 1: If nobody else will help me, I have God.

906
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,500
Speaker 2: If my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will.

907
00:51:05,340 --> 00:51:09,460
Speaker 1: Take me up. If the doctors can't help me, I've

908
00:51:09,580 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: got God.

909
00:51:10,580 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 4: If they sue me, I've got God.

910
00:51:13,420 --> 00:51:16,910
Speaker 2: If they slay me, I've got God.

911
00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:22,190
Speaker 4: Tell every devil I'm not crazy because.

912
00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:22,390
Speaker 1: I want more.

913
00:51:22,530 --> 00:51:23,550
Speaker 4: I'm crazy.

914
00:51:24,670 --> 00:51:28,090
Speaker 1: Because I've got God.

915
00:51:28,910 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: That's how I'm walking around these walls, because I've got God.

916
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 2: You can't make me doubt him. He lives inside of me.

917
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,810
Speaker 2: I know too much about him, so I go around

918
00:51:42,190 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: and around. All this time, the trumpets were sounding. Day one,

919
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,450
Speaker 2: the trumpets were sounding. Day two, the trumpets were sounding.

920
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,030
Speaker 2: Day three, the trumpets were sounding. Day four, the trumpets

921
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:04,790
Speaker 2: were sounding, but nothing was happening with the wall.

922
00:52:05,130 --> 00:52:05,850
Speaker 1: That's all right.

923
00:52:06,170 --> 00:52:08,529
Speaker 2: I'm not blowing my trumpet because of a wall. I'm

924
00:52:08,550 --> 00:52:10,870
Speaker 2: blowing it because of a word. If I walk in

925
00:52:10,910 --> 00:52:13,819
Speaker 2: this word, if I walk … He said he gave

926
00:52:13,860 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: it to me. I have God.

927
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:16,219
Speaker 1: He said he'd be with me.

928
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 2: I have God.

929
00:52:17,340 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: He said he'd never fail me nor forsake me. I have.

930
00:52:25,060 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 2: God.

931
00:52:25,620 --> 00:52:28,930
Speaker 1: Your neighbor is confused. Why are you praising God? You

932
00:52:28,950 --> 00:52:29,820
Speaker 1: have cancer.

933
00:52:30,070 --> 00:52:32,850
Speaker 2: Yes, I have cancer, but I have God. I have

934
00:52:32,890 --> 00:52:33,250
Speaker 2: an ark.

935
00:52:33,550 --> 00:52:35,570
Speaker 1: I'm going back for another.
