WEBVTT - This Time Around...

0:00:01.580 --> 0:00:02.779
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is Stephen Furtick.

0:00:02.820 --> 0:00:05.859
<v Speaker 2>I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast.

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to thank you for joining us today. I

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.620
<v Speaker 2>hope this inspires you. I hope it builds your faith.

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I hope it gives you perspective to see God is

0:00:12.580 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 2>moving in your life. Enjoy the message.

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:21.730
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready for the Word of the Lord? All right, everybody,

0:00:21.770 --> 0:00:25.730
<v Speaker 1>stand on your feet. Stand on your feet, please. I'm

0:00:25.750 --> 0:00:30.450
<v Speaker 1>going to read you one verse in Joshua 6, verse 7.

0:00:31.730 --> 0:00:34.890
<v Speaker 1>Then I'll seat you and read you 20 more. Fair warning.

0:00:37.490 --> 0:00:40.450
<v Speaker 2>Last week I preached a message called, You Can Skip This.

0:00:42.100 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor, you can skip this. I'm trying to

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.580
<v Speaker 2>get you to see that some of the dumb stuff

0:00:48.220 --> 0:00:50.500
<v Speaker 2>that we deal with is not the devil.

0:00:51.620 --> 0:00:55.870
<v Speaker 1>It's a decision.

0:00:56.010 --> 0:00:58.210
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't it be great if we saved our strength to

0:00:58.270 --> 0:01:02.029
<v Speaker 2>fight the devil when he's really attacking us? and don't

0:01:02.130 --> 0:01:04.850
<v Speaker 2>self-sabotage by having a bad attitude. That was kind of

0:01:05.430 --> 0:01:08.110
<v Speaker 2>where the message ended up. You know, sometimes I just,

0:01:08.890 --> 0:01:11.789
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that my message was clear because like

0:01:12.730 --> 0:01:16.830
<v Speaker 2>literally right after I preached it, my family group chat

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.950
<v Speaker 2>went off and Graham said, did you hear dad? We

0:01:19.970 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 2>can skip family Christmas pictures on Thursday. To which I

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.780
<v Speaker 2>let him know real quick, we can't skip the pictures,

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.340
<v Speaker 2>but we can skip the part where y'all fight about

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.310
<v Speaker 2>the pictures. come on and make me want to cut

0:01:33.350 --> 0:01:34.330
<v Speaker 2>you out of my will.

0:01:35.590 --> 0:01:36.750
<v Speaker 1>And put you up for adoption.

0:01:39.069 --> 0:01:42.220
<v Speaker 2>You don't get to choose to skip the adversities in

0:01:42.230 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>your life, but sometimes you can change the attitude. I

0:01:47.180 --> 0:01:49.460
<v Speaker 2>find myself wishing that life was like YouTube and you

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:55.230
<v Speaker 2>could skip ad. Ad stands for adversity, not advertisement.

0:01:55.730 --> 0:01:56.310
<v Speaker 1>Skip ad.

0:01:57.750 --> 0:01:59.810
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I'm even talking to somebody, and I'm looking for

0:01:59.830 --> 0:02:03.730
<v Speaker 2>the fast-forward button. trying to hold down the side of

0:02:03.750 --> 0:02:05.750
<v Speaker 2>the screen that'll make it go two times as fast,

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.340
<v Speaker 2>you know, or a season.

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:07.620
<v Speaker 1>Of my life.

0:02:08.419 --> 0:02:11.900
<v Speaker 2>And this week, a relevant scripture that I touched on

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:13.700
<v Speaker 2>last week that I want to explore a little bit

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>more with you is from Joshua chapter six. Now, this

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 2>will make no sense out of context, but we'll put

0:02:18.780 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>it in context in the next.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Three and a half hours that I preach. Would you

0:02:25.540 --> 0:02:30.590
<v Speaker 1>really be excited about that? I'm not going to do it.

0:02:30.610 --> 0:02:32.950
<v Speaker 1>You're going to have to watch some sermons from the archives.

0:02:34.530 --> 0:02:35.970
<v Speaker 2>I'll be brief, but I just want to share with

0:02:36.010 --> 0:02:40.090
<v Speaker 2>you from Joshua chapter six, verse seven. And he ordered

0:02:40.130 --> 0:02:45.060
<v Speaker 2>the army, advance, march around the city with an armed

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 2>guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord. Again,

0:02:50.340 --> 0:02:54.460
<v Speaker 2>and he ordered the army, advance, march around the city

0:02:54.740 --> 0:02:57.940
<v Speaker 2>with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of

0:02:57.980 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. Now that's the seed of my message today.

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>The title of this message, I'm calling it, This Time Around.

0:03:04.190 --> 0:03:10.530
<v Speaker 2>Not talking about last time.

0:03:10.550 --> 0:03:13.049
<v Speaker 1>Not talking about five years ago.

0:03:13.090 --> 0:03:14.780
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about when you were the high school

0:03:14.790 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterback and the star of the team.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:16.980
<v Speaker 1>You're 48 now.

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.619
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about this time around. I'm not talking about

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>what you could bench press when you were 16. I'm

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:27.730
<v Speaker 2>talking about this time. I'm not talking about next time

0:03:27.770 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>around either when you get it all together. I'm talking

0:03:29.980 --> 0:03:35.020
<v Speaker 2>about this time around. Father, thank you for your word.

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for your presence. Thank you for your power.

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.330
<v Speaker 2>Do your thing. I give you the credit and the

0:03:41.370 --> 0:03:47.490
<v Speaker 2>glory in advance. In Jesus' name, everybody said together, amen. Amen.

0:03:47.550 --> 0:03:48.290
<v Speaker 1>You may be seated.

0:03:54.860 --> 0:03:59.020
<v Speaker 2>Joshua chapter 6 is the famous story where Joshua led

0:03:59.060 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the people of Israel around the walls of Jericho, and

0:04:03.380 --> 0:04:06.260
<v Speaker 2>they fell with a great crash.

0:04:07.020 --> 0:04:11.750
<v Speaker 1>We love this story. In case you are new to church,

0:04:12.220 --> 0:04:18.230
<v Speaker 1>this is one of our greatest hits. We love this story.

0:04:19.029 --> 0:04:21.789
<v Speaker 2>We like it because it's a story about a shout,

0:04:22.490 --> 0:04:25.450
<v Speaker 2>and you'll see that in just a moment. Now that

0:04:25.470 --> 0:04:29.730
<v Speaker 2>you're seated and comfortable and relaxed, let me do the

0:04:29.770 --> 0:04:32.730
<v Speaker 2>work for you and just read you the story as

0:04:32.830 --> 0:04:37.420
<v Speaker 2>it occurs in Joshua, chapter 6, the story of how Joshua,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the new leader of the people of Israel, took them

0:04:41.740 --> 0:04:44.700
<v Speaker 2>on a journey around the walls of a city that

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.420
<v Speaker 2>was on the edge of the Promised Land called Jericho,

0:04:48.060 --> 0:04:50.100
<v Speaker 2>and the walls fell with a great crash. I want

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.229
<v Speaker 2>you to pay attention to the details as I read.

0:04:52.730 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>The Scripture will be on the screen. If you're ready,

0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:01.140
<v Speaker 2>say yes. If you're not, here we go. Now the

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites.

0:05:04.670 --> 0:05:08.870
<v Speaker 1>No one went out, and no one came in.

0:05:09.930 --> 0:05:12.190
<v Speaker 2>Then the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have delivered

0:05:12.210 --> 0:05:17.770
<v Speaker 2>Jericho into your hands, along with its king and fighting men.

0:05:17.910 --> 0:05:20.870
<v Speaker 2>God said, I've given it to you. I have given

0:05:20.950 --> 0:05:22.980
<v Speaker 2>it to you. I know it doesn't look like it,

0:05:23.010 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>but I've given it to you. I know it's locked

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.060
<v Speaker 2>up and you can't get in, but I've given it

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.059
<v Speaker 2>to you. Just because you're not in it yet doesn't

0:05:30.100 --> 0:05:31.150
<v Speaker 2>mean God hasn't given it.

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Write that down, please. That's not in my notes. It

0:05:35.420 --> 0:05:36.260
<v Speaker 1>ought to be in yours.

0:05:37.300 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Just because you're not in it yet doesn't mean God

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.410
<v Speaker 2>hasn't given it. God has promised you some things. The

0:05:44.450 --> 0:05:47.790
<v Speaker 2>Lord said, I've given it to you. Then the instruction,

0:05:47.830 --> 0:05:50.830
<v Speaker 2>verse 3, march around the city once with all the

0:05:50.910 --> 0:05:51.370
<v Speaker 2>armed men.

0:05:51.430 --> 0:05:52.350
<v Speaker 1>Do this for six days.

0:05:53.100 --> 0:05:55.700
<v Speaker 2>Have seven priests carry trumpets of ram's horns in front

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.359
<v Speaker 2>of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.220
<v Speaker 2>city seven times, with the.

0:06:00.180 --> 0:06:01.380
<v Speaker 1>Priests blowing the trumpets.

0:06:02.290 --> 0:06:05.130
<v Speaker 2>When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets,

0:06:05.550 --> 0:06:07.870
<v Speaker 2>have the whole army give.

0:06:07.710 --> 0:06:08.770
<v Speaker 1>A loud shout.

0:06:09.170 --> 0:06:11.990
<v Speaker 2>Then the wall of the city will collapse, and the

0:06:12.190 --> 0:06:15.770
<v Speaker 2>army will go up. Everyone straight in. That's the good

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:20.490
<v Speaker 2>part right there. A shout and a straight in. That's

0:06:20.710 --> 0:06:23.650
<v Speaker 2>a good part right there. So Joshua, son of Nun,

0:06:23.710 --> 0:06:26.330
<v Speaker 2>called the priests and said to them … Watch.

0:06:26.790 --> 0:06:28.310
<v Speaker 1>God's talking to Joshua.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Now Joshua has to relay a message to them that

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>God gave to him.

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.940
<v Speaker 1>So Joshua, son of Nun, called the priests and said

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to them.

0:06:37.860 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord

0:06:40.339 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.

0:06:43.140 --> 0:06:45.580
<v Speaker 2>And he ordered the army, Advance … I just read

0:06:45.620 --> 0:06:48.740
<v Speaker 2>you this verse … march around the city with an

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.270
<v Speaker 2>When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests

0:06:56.370 --> 0:07:01.130
<v Speaker 2>carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing

0:07:01.170 --> 0:07:07.100
<v Speaker 2>their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord's covenant followed them.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.660
<v Speaker 2>Reminds me of surely goodness and mercy will follow me

0:07:13.300 --> 0:07:18.130
<v Speaker 2>all the days of my life. The Lord's ark followed them.

0:07:18.750 --> 0:07:23.410
<v Speaker 2>The Lord's ark followed them. When they stepped, God stepped.

0:07:23.770 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 2>When they moved, God moved. And the ark of the

0:07:27.070 --> 0:07:31.540
<v Speaker 2>Lord's covenant followed them. The armed guard marched ahead of

0:07:31.580 --> 0:07:34.540
<v Speaker 2>the priest who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard

0:07:34.620 --> 0:07:38.500
<v Speaker 2>followed the ark. So they're following God. God is following them.

0:07:38.540 --> 0:07:41.470
<v Speaker 2>He's got you covered from every side. I thought you

0:07:41.490 --> 0:07:43.850
<v Speaker 2>would shout about that. He's got you covered from every side.

0:07:45.260 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Anything trying to sneak up behind you and get you

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.820
<v Speaker 2>can't surprise attack God, because he sovereignly got you covered

0:07:51.170 --> 0:07:53.830
<v Speaker 2>from every side. Anything that's in front of you that

0:07:53.850 --> 0:07:56.290
<v Speaker 2>you're worried about, God has got you covered on every side.

0:07:56.450 --> 0:07:57.510
<v Speaker 1>More about that in a moment.

0:07:58.510 --> 0:08:02.110
<v Speaker 2>But Joshua had commanded, verse 10, the army,' Do.

0:08:02.010 --> 0:08:04.970
<v Speaker 1>Not give a war cry. Do not raise your voices.

0:08:05.250 --> 0:08:07.110
<v Speaker 2>Do not say a word until the day I tell

0:08:07.150 --> 0:08:07.710
<v Speaker 2>you to shout.

0:08:07.770 --> 0:08:08.290
<v Speaker 1>Then shout.

0:08:09.190 --> 0:08:10.890
<v Speaker 2>So he had the ark of the Lord carried around

0:08:10.940 --> 0:08:13.890
<v Speaker 2>the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to

0:08:13.930 --> 0:08:16.830
<v Speaker 2>camp and spent the night there. Joshua got up early

0:08:16.890 --> 0:08:18.790
<v Speaker 2>the next morning, and the priests took up the ark

0:08:18.810 --> 0:08:22.210
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord. The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets

0:08:22.250 --> 0:08:25.650
<v Speaker 2>went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and

0:08:25.710 --> 0:08:26.630
<v Speaker 2>blowing the trumpets.

0:08:27.390 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>The armed men went ahead of them, and.

0:08:29.690 --> 0:08:32.290
<v Speaker 2>The rear guard followed the ark of the Lord while

0:08:32.340 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the trumpets kept sounding. So on the second day they

0:08:37.059 --> 0:08:39.540
<v Speaker 2>marched around the city once and returned to the camp.

0:08:39.980 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>They did this for six days. Here comes the good part.

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.579
<v Speaker 2>Verse 15. On the seventh day they got up at

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:54.500
<v Speaker 2>daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.380
<v Speaker 2>same manner, except that on.

0:08:56.500 --> 0:08:59.750
<v Speaker 1>That day they circled the city seven times.

0:09:00.540 --> 0:09:03.150
<v Speaker 2>The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast,

0:09:03.490 --> 0:09:08.110
<v Speaker 2>Joshua commanded the army,' Shout, for the Lord has given

0:09:08.170 --> 0:09:14.460
<v Speaker 2>you the city.' Yeah, that's all right too. Shout, for

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.620
<v Speaker 2>the Lord has given you the city. Drop down to

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:21.610
<v Speaker 2>verse 20. When the trumpet sounded, the army shouted. At

0:09:21.650 --> 0:09:25.230
<v Speaker 2>the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a

0:09:25.630 --> 0:09:31.929
<v Speaker 2>loud shout, the wall came down. So, everyone charged straight in,

0:09:32.429 --> 0:09:36.130
<v Speaker 2>and they took the city. Give God praise that he

0:09:36.150 --> 0:09:40.020
<v Speaker 2>can do stuff like that. You see why we love

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.900
<v Speaker 2>this story? It's an amazing Bible story. You see why

0:09:42.950 --> 0:09:45.770
<v Speaker 2>we like to preach about it? Because it reminds us

0:09:45.850 --> 0:09:49.309
<v Speaker 2>for the struggles we face. It reminds us that God

0:09:49.350 --> 0:09:51.930
<v Speaker 2>has a strategy for every situation you face.

0:09:51.950 --> 0:10:01.579
<v Speaker 1>Put that in the comments. God has a strategy. Tell

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.580
<v Speaker 1>it to your neighbor. God has a strategy.

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Just because I can't see it doesn't mean he doesn't

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 2>have it. God has a strategy. God has a strategy

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 2>for how I'm going to get through this illness. God

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>has a strategy how I'm going to care for my

0:10:16.820 --> 0:10:19.850
<v Speaker 2>aging parent. God has a strategy how I'm going to

0:10:19.890 --> 0:10:22.670
<v Speaker 2>get this special needs child the help they need, because

0:10:22.710 --> 0:10:25.469
<v Speaker 2>he loves them more than I do. God has a

0:10:25.510 --> 0:10:28.890
<v Speaker 2>strategy how I'm going to confront my friend about their

0:10:28.910 --> 0:10:32.150
<v Speaker 2>drug addiction. God has a strategy for how I'm going

0:10:32.210 --> 0:10:35.210
<v Speaker 2>to endure this season of job loss and not let

0:10:35.250 --> 0:10:36.570
<v Speaker 2>it get into my identity.

0:10:36.610 --> 0:10:40.220
<v Speaker 1>Somebody say, a strategy. God has a strategy.

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to slow down and preach this real slow,

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 2>but I actually want to shout right here, but Like

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.910
<v Speaker 2>the thing said, don't shout until the time is right,

0:10:47.990 --> 0:10:50.170
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think it's time to shout yet, because

0:10:50.190 --> 0:10:52.849
<v Speaker 2>I just need to lay this foundation that God has

0:10:52.870 --> 0:10:56.250
<v Speaker 2>a strategy for every situation that you face. If you

0:10:56.270 --> 0:10:59.660
<v Speaker 2>don't believe that God has a strategy, ask Goliath if

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 2>God had a strategy for his nine-foot-tall self with his

0:11:03.900 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 2>advanced armor, his advanced under-armor technology, with his absolutely defiant

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.790
<v Speaker 2>attitude toward the army of the living God, but God

0:11:11.850 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>had a slingshot that served as a strategy, because the

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.620
<v Speaker 2>thing the rock could do that the sword couldn't do

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 2>was to hit Goliath from a distance, because Goliath was

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 2>so big that he was blind. God had a strategy

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.319
<v Speaker 2>to give David the exact tool he.

0:11:25.260 --> 0:11:27.190
<v Speaker 1>Needed to knock Goliath out.

0:11:27.250 --> 0:11:29.490
<v Speaker 2>What seemed to diminish David in the eyes of the

0:11:29.550 --> 0:11:32.470
<v Speaker 2>Israelites actually qualified him in the eyes of God, because

0:11:32.550 --> 0:11:34.330
<v Speaker 2>God had a strategy.

0:11:36.660 --> 0:11:39.100
<v Speaker 1>If you don't believe God has a strategy, ask Philip.

0:11:39.710 --> 0:11:41.010
<v Speaker 2>Who said, I don't know where we're going to get

0:11:41.050 --> 0:11:43.610
<v Speaker 2>enough bread and fish to feed all these people, Jesus.

0:11:43.630 --> 0:11:45.510
<v Speaker 2>You're the one who was preaching so long they got

0:11:45.550 --> 0:11:46.870
<v Speaker 2>hungry until they almost fainted.

0:11:47.250 --> 0:11:47.810
<v Speaker 1>Don't ask me.

0:11:47.850 --> 0:11:49.790
<v Speaker 2>You should have given us advance notice, and we could

0:11:49.809 --> 0:11:55.150
<v Speaker 2>have called in catering. Jesus, being a little bit sneaky,

0:11:55.970 --> 0:11:57.170
<v Speaker 2>said to Philip, I don't know.

0:11:57.230 --> 0:11:58.630
<v Speaker 1>Where shall we buy bread?

0:11:58.670 --> 0:12:00.750
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says in John chapter 6 that he asked

0:12:00.790 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 2>him only to test him because he already knew what

0:12:03.420 --> 0:12:06.479
<v Speaker 2>he was going to do. God has a strategy. I

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.239
<v Speaker 2>said God has a strategy. the thing that snuck up

0:12:10.340 --> 0:12:12.490
<v Speaker 2>on you did not sneak up on God. God has

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 2>a strategy for that. Tell the person next to you,

0:12:15.309 --> 0:12:19.730
<v Speaker 2>there's a strategy for that. There's a strategy for the depression.

0:12:19.750 --> 0:12:23.030
<v Speaker 2>There's a strategy for the anxiety. There's a strategy for

0:12:23.050 --> 0:12:27.309
<v Speaker 2>the unforeseen circumstance. There's a strategy for that. We love

0:12:27.350 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 2>stories like trumpets tearing down walls, because it makes me

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 2>grateful that even if it doesn't make sense, God has

0:12:39.020 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 2>a strategy for every situation you face. Another reason we

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:50.059
<v Speaker 2>love it is because it reminds us that God has

0:12:50.140 --> 0:12:57.180
<v Speaker 2>strength for every season I live. There's a strength for

0:12:57.250 --> 0:13:00.569
<v Speaker 2>every season. There's a strength for the season in your

0:13:00.610 --> 0:13:04.370
<v Speaker 2>life when you're inexperienced. There's a strength for the season

0:13:04.410 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 2>of your life when you are fatigued. There's a strength

0:13:07.620 --> 0:13:10.230
<v Speaker 2>for the season of your life when you're busy. There's

0:13:10.250 --> 0:13:12.350
<v Speaker 2>a strength for the season of your life when you're bored.

0:13:13.410 --> 0:13:16.190
<v Speaker 2>There are seasons in your life when everybody else is

0:13:16.210 --> 0:13:19.250
<v Speaker 2>saying how busy they are, and you yourself are trying

0:13:19.270 --> 0:13:21.210
<v Speaker 2>to make up things to be busy with, but the

0:13:21.230 --> 0:13:25.850
<v Speaker 2>truth of the matter is your screen time number this

0:13:25.910 --> 0:13:28.030
<v Speaker 2>week is not something you really want to share with anybody,

0:13:28.090 --> 0:13:32.100
<v Speaker 2>because while you say, I'm busy, I'm really kind of bored.

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:37.900
<v Speaker 2>I'm bored being busy. Well, there's a strategy for every situation,

0:13:37.950 --> 0:13:39.490
<v Speaker 2>and there is a strength for every season.

0:13:40.350 --> 0:13:42.630
<v Speaker 1>If the season you're in is that there's.

0:13:42.490 --> 0:13:44.369
<v Speaker 2>Just so much coming at you, you can't get it

0:13:44.429 --> 0:13:47.250
<v Speaker 2>all done, God will give you a strength for those seasons.

0:13:48.230 --> 0:13:51.250
<v Speaker 2>He'll go around and make things easier that should be hard.

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>He will fix stuff while you're in church that you

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.099
<v Speaker 2>couldn't fix if you spent all week at home working

0:13:59.179 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 2>on them yourself.

0:14:04.300 --> 0:14:04.910
<v Speaker 1>Do you believe that?

0:14:06.059 --> 0:14:08.980
<v Speaker 2>God can go to your house right now and fix

0:14:09.020 --> 0:14:13.140
<v Speaker 2>something that you could spend the next 10 years making

0:14:13.179 --> 0:14:18.860
<v Speaker 2>worse without him, because God has a strategy for every situation. Now,

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 2>this is just my introduction, so stop saying amen, because

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I need to move past this, but we love this

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.220
<v Speaker 2>story because it reminds us that God has a strategy

0:14:25.260 --> 0:14:28.060
<v Speaker 2>for every situation, and he has a strength for every season.

0:14:28.420 --> 0:14:31.500
<v Speaker 2>God has a strategy for every situation and a strength

0:14:31.970 --> 0:14:34.990
<v Speaker 2>for every season. Just like he told Joshua about Jericho.

0:14:35.290 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>He wants to give it to you. He has peace that.

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>He wants to give to you. God wants to give

0:14:43.980 --> 0:14:46.950
<v Speaker 2>it to you. God wants to give you wisdom. God

0:14:47.110 --> 0:14:50.230
<v Speaker 2>wants to give you guidance. God wants to give you direction.

0:14:50.530 --> 0:14:53.750
<v Speaker 2>God wants to give you endurance. God wants to give

0:14:53.790 --> 0:14:58.730
<v Speaker 2>you strength and strategy, because for every situation, God has

0:14:58.750 --> 0:15:02.350
<v Speaker 2>a strategy, and for every season, God has strength, and

0:15:02.390 --> 0:15:05.790
<v Speaker 2>he wants to give it to you. But the enemy

0:15:06.970 --> 0:15:13.090
<v Speaker 2>wants to keep you so filled with fear and frustration

0:15:13.930 --> 0:15:18.890
<v Speaker 2>that you can't receive it. God has a strategy for

0:15:18.930 --> 0:15:22.500
<v Speaker 2>this situation, and God has a strength for this season,

0:15:22.790 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and he wants to give it to you. But the

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.940
<v Speaker 2>Enemy knows if he can keep you filled with enough

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>fear and frustration, you will not hear what.

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.420
<v Speaker 1>God speaks or receive what God says.

0:15:37.650 --> 0:15:40.460
<v Speaker 2>You cannot hear what God is speaking to give you

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.820
<v Speaker 2>the strategy, and you cannot receive what God is doing

0:15:43.860 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 2>to give you strength if your heart is filled with

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:54.030
<v Speaker 2>fear and frustration. The first miracle in this passage, Joshua 6,

0:15:54.030 --> 0:15:56.310
<v Speaker 2>is not that Joshua blew a trumpet and.

0:15:56.290 --> 0:15:58.010
<v Speaker 1>A wall fell down. First of all, the priest blew

0:15:58.030 --> 0:15:58.850
<v Speaker 1>the trumpet. He didn't even blow it.

0:15:59.670 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 2>But secondly, the first miracle in the passage is that

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.390
<v Speaker 2>he is 90 years old, and still willing to do

0:16:08.430 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 2>what God says, even if it doesn't make sense, especially

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.740
<v Speaker 2>after all the years that he spent in the wilderness.

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.980
<v Speaker 2>You have to remember this is the same Joshua who

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.910
<v Speaker 2>has wandered with the Israelites for 40 years in the wilderness.

0:16:21.950 --> 0:16:26.860
<v Speaker 2>After 40 years of wandering around, In the wilderness, Moses dies,

0:16:26.940 --> 0:16:31.090
<v Speaker 2>and Joshua is the new leader of the Israelites, and

0:16:31.390 --> 0:16:32.390
<v Speaker 2>he's not like Moses.

0:16:32.790 --> 0:16:33.710
<v Speaker 1>This is what I love.

0:16:33.750 --> 0:16:42.940
<v Speaker 2>See, Moses made mistakes, but Joshua made adjustments. This is

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the cycle of growth. I heard somebody say one time,

0:16:45.620 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 2>the only way to grow in life.

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.580
<v Speaker 1>Is to make mistakes. That's not true. That's not true

0:16:50.620 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>at all. You can make a lot of mistakes and

0:16:52.620 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>not grow.

0:16:55.410 --> 0:16:59.050
<v Speaker 2>Only way to grow is to make mistakes, then make adjustments,

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.740
<v Speaker 2>and then you grow. Or else you spend 40 years

0:17:03.820 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 2>like the Israelites circling the same wilderness.

0:17:08.060 --> 0:17:10.820
<v Speaker 1>It's not how many mistakes you can make that would

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:11.440
<v Speaker 1>help you to grow.

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.110
<v Speaker 2>If that's the case right now, let's just all cuss

0:17:14.130 --> 0:17:15.129
<v Speaker 2>somebody out in church.

0:17:15.230 --> 0:17:18.390
<v Speaker 1>Let's make a mistake, and then we can grow. No.

0:17:19.810 --> 0:17:21.929
<v Speaker 2>After the mistake is made, the adjustment must be made.

0:17:22.270 --> 0:17:26.100
<v Speaker 2>I was admiring … Joshua for all of the adjustments

0:17:26.180 --> 0:17:31.139
<v Speaker 2>that he made based on Moses' mistakes. I believe I'm

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.930
<v Speaker 2>preaching to a generation today in this student section that

0:17:34.970 --> 0:17:38.830
<v Speaker 2>is going to make some adjustments in their generation because

0:17:38.869 --> 0:17:41.030
<v Speaker 2>they don't want to make the same mistakes that their

0:17:41.050 --> 0:17:43.730
<v Speaker 2>parents made. How many would praise God if your kid

0:17:43.790 --> 0:17:47.850
<v Speaker 2>would make some adjustments based on your mistakes? Isn't that

0:17:47.869 --> 0:17:52.550
<v Speaker 2>your heart for them? That's why I was preaching last week.

0:17:52.570 --> 0:17:56.870
<v Speaker 2>You can skip this. You can skip this, because some

0:17:57.030 --> 0:18:00.129
<v Speaker 2>dumb stuff we did you don't have to do, and

0:18:00.190 --> 0:18:03.670
<v Speaker 2>some years we wasted not worshiping God, you can invest

0:18:03.710 --> 0:18:06.260
<v Speaker 2>them wisely worshiping God, and you.

0:18:06.170 --> 0:18:06.780
<v Speaker 1>Can get ahead.

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 2>You know how sometimes you see a kid, and their

0:18:10.180 --> 0:18:12.640
<v Speaker 2>mom has red hair, but they don't have red hair,

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.100
<v Speaker 2>but then you'll say, it skips a generation?

0:18:15.660 --> 0:18:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if we could say over some of these kids.

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:26.899
<v Speaker 2>That addiction is going to skip a generation. that suicidal

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.119
<v Speaker 2>ideations are going to skip a generation, because you're going to.

0:18:31.140 --> 0:18:34.850
<v Speaker 1>Live and not die and declare the work of the Lord.

0:18:35.390 --> 0:18:40.870
<v Speaker 2>So, where Moses made a mistake, Joshua made a just mess.

0:18:41.210 --> 0:18:43.389
<v Speaker 2>Just say this out loud boldly. Say, I can do

0:18:43.450 --> 0:18:47.889
<v Speaker 2>it different. That's the most powerful thing you ever realize,

0:18:48.390 --> 0:18:51.590
<v Speaker 2>is that I don't have to keep repeating this thing

0:18:51.930 --> 0:18:55.070
<v Speaker 2>that I saw. I don't have to keep repeating this.

0:18:55.090 --> 0:18:56.710
<v Speaker 1>That's what the power of Christ does.

0:18:56.990 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>The power of Christ comes in our life not just

0:18:59.900 --> 0:19:04.420
<v Speaker 2>to cover our sin, not just to hide our sin,

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.419
<v Speaker 2>but to help us so that the next time I

0:19:07.460 --> 0:19:10.340
<v Speaker 2>come up on this situation, I do it a little different.

0:19:10.619 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 2>I tweak it a little bit. I don't say it

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 2>quite the same. I don't step in the same stuff

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.500
<v Speaker 2>over and over again and blame the dog for dropping it.

0:19:18.420 --> 0:19:19.550
<v Speaker 1>I can walk around that.

0:19:20.810 --> 0:19:27.510
<v Speaker 2>I only get to preach once these days.

0:19:27.590 --> 0:19:29.910
<v Speaker 1>I used to preach three times. When I would preach

0:19:29.950 --> 0:19:31.490
<v Speaker 1>three times, I could fix the message.

0:19:31.790 --> 0:19:33.830
<v Speaker 2>I could do it different every time, but this time

0:19:33.869 --> 0:19:35.030
<v Speaker 2>I just have to do it once.

0:19:35.570 --> 0:19:36.950
<v Speaker 1>When I say something funny.

0:19:36.730 --> 0:19:39.429
<v Speaker 2>Like, you don't have to step in this twice, I

0:19:39.450 --> 0:19:42.060
<v Speaker 2>need you to shout to thank God that you don't

0:19:42.100 --> 0:19:44.380
<v Speaker 2>have to go through the same crap forever.

0:19:51.670 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>And move on from it.

0:19:53.670 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Joshua said,' We' re doing this different.' Say,' I' m doing this different.'

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:04.179
<v Speaker 2>Come on. Say,' I' m doing this different.' I'm doing this different.

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.899
<v Speaker 2>I'm not just going to wander in the wilderness and

0:20:06.940 --> 0:20:08.120
<v Speaker 2>keep getting water from a rock.

0:20:08.180 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, water from a rock is.

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.619
<v Speaker 2>Nice, and I thank you, God, for it, but why

0:20:11.660 --> 0:20:14.140
<v Speaker 2>would I keep drinking water from a rock when you've

0:20:14.260 --> 0:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>promised me a land of milk and honey? I want

0:20:17.420 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>to do it different.

0:20:21.420 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can get by.

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.659
<v Speaker 2>With this, but I want God to break through in

0:20:25.700 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 2>my life, and I don't want to just survive something

0:20:29.900 --> 0:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I could skip.

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.820
<v Speaker 1>That's a powerful, powerful principle.

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.100
<v Speaker 2>That's a powerful principle that God gives you the grace

0:20:39.140 --> 0:20:41.109
<v Speaker 2>to make adjustments in your life. I wonder if he's

0:20:41.130 --> 0:20:42.590
<v Speaker 2>calling you to make one right now. I'll give you

0:20:42.609 --> 0:20:44.730
<v Speaker 2>an example from Joshua. I don't know if you've ever

0:20:44.770 --> 0:20:47.710
<v Speaker 2>noticed this, but when he sent the spies to check

0:20:47.750 --> 0:20:56.670
<v Speaker 2>out the promised land, he sent two. Moses sent 12,

0:20:57.350 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 2>and 10 of the 12 that Moses sent said, we

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:00.010
<v Speaker 2>can't do it.

0:21:02.420 --> 0:21:06.070
<v Speaker 1>Moses made mistakes. Joshua made adjustments.

0:21:07.250 --> 0:21:16.450
<v Speaker 2>So, where Moses sent 12, Joshua sent two. Joshua said,

0:21:16.510 --> 0:21:24.689
<v Speaker 2>we need less opinions and more obedience. Are you going

0:21:24.710 --> 0:21:27.970
<v Speaker 2>to keep listening to the same friends whose advice got

0:21:28.010 --> 0:21:29.750
<v Speaker 2>you in this situation.

0:21:29.170 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 1>To begin with?

0:21:30.990 --> 0:21:32.990
<v Speaker 2>Not even because they don't like you, but just because

0:21:33.030 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 2>they don't know. God has a strategy for every situation,

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:41.919
<v Speaker 2>and so Joshua sent two. Not only that, but when

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Moses took the people across the Red Sea … You

0:21:44.780 --> 0:21:47.060
<v Speaker 2>remember he stretched his staff? Well, when Joshua led them

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:49.180
<v Speaker 2>across the Jordan, God said, I want to do it different.

0:21:49.460 --> 0:21:52.129
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to use the staff to do it.

0:21:52.660 --> 0:21:54.609
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to use the rod to do it,

0:21:55.020 --> 0:21:57.419
<v Speaker 2>but when the priest's feet touch the water, the waters

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:58.859
<v Speaker 2>will part, because God.

0:21:59.260 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Is doing it differently.

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 2>The craziest thing we do is stand over something and

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:05.870
<v Speaker 2>stretch a staff when God told us to take a step.

0:22:09.850 --> 0:22:12.790
<v Speaker 1>Tell your neighbor, do it different. Come on. Why aren't

0:22:12.810 --> 0:22:15.440
<v Speaker 1>you talking to your neighbor? Don't you like him? You

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>chose to sit there. I didn't assign your seat.

0:22:18.060 --> 0:22:20.900
<v Speaker 2>Tell him, do it different. I'm going to do it different.

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.270
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do it different. I'm going to do

0:22:23.330 --> 0:22:23.870
<v Speaker 2>it different.

0:22:23.890 --> 0:22:26.590
<v Speaker 1>Let's get into the moment. We love this story not

0:22:26.690 --> 0:22:28.969
<v Speaker 1>only because of what it shows us about God, but

0:22:28.990 --> 0:22:32.510
<v Speaker 1>it's just a good story. It's just dramatic. It's just amazing.

0:22:32.730 --> 0:22:34.230
<v Speaker 1>God calls Joshua. He's like, here's what I'm going to do.

0:22:34.230 --> 0:22:35.190
<v Speaker 1>All right, here's what I'm going to do.

0:22:35.210 --> 0:22:37.220
<v Speaker 2>Get seven priests, and get seven there, and then blow

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the trumpet. to walk around for seven days, and when

0:22:39.380 --> 0:22:40.500
<v Speaker 2>they walk around on the seventh day, they can walk

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 2>around seven times. Just one time every day up to

0:22:42.140 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 2>the seventh day, but on the seventh day, walk around

0:22:43.420 --> 0:22:44.900
<v Speaker 2>seven times, and when they walk around seven times, they shout,

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:46.219
<v Speaker 2>and tell them not to shout, and tell them not

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 2>to shout, and tell them to shout, blow the trumpets

0:22:47.780 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 2>the whole time, but tell them not to shout, because

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 2>if they start shouting too early, they might start talking

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:52.159
<v Speaker 2>when they get back to camp at night. If they

0:22:52.180 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 2>start talking when they get back to camp at night,

0:22:53.380 --> 0:22:55.619
<v Speaker 2>they might do what the generation under Moses did, and

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:58.230
<v Speaker 2>they start murmuring and gossiping, and they start gossiping, and

0:22:58.250 --> 0:23:00.109
<v Speaker 2>then they feel like grasshoppers, because they gossip their way

0:23:00.130 --> 0:23:01.869
<v Speaker 2>into feeling like grasshoppers when really I've given them the

0:23:01.910 --> 0:23:04.190
<v Speaker 2>power to defeat giants, and the enemy will start to

0:23:04.230 --> 0:23:06.950
<v Speaker 2>frustrate them. So tell them not to say anything, but just...

0:23:07.190 --> 0:23:12.070
<v Speaker 2>to march around the city for seven days. On the

0:23:12.130 --> 0:23:13.590
<v Speaker 2>seventh day, it's going to be good.

0:23:13.890 --> 0:23:15.710
<v Speaker 1>On the seventh day, the walls are going to fall.

0:23:15.990 --> 0:23:18.409
<v Speaker 1>Not only fall, but they're going to fall flat. They're

0:23:18.850 --> 0:23:21.050
<v Speaker 1>going to come down so you can go over them.

0:23:21.290 --> 0:23:22.230
<v Speaker 1>They're going to come down.

0:23:22.490 --> 0:23:24.850
<v Speaker 2>It's not just going to be normal rubble. I'm actually

0:23:24.869 --> 0:23:27.570
<v Speaker 2>going to flatten the walls so that they can get over.

0:23:27.590 --> 0:23:31.170
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually going to do something amazing in this situation.

0:23:32.090 --> 0:23:37.379
<v Speaker 2>This is the moment they have waited for. Do you

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.100
<v Speaker 2>understand they've been circumcised so that they are reminded of

0:23:41.140 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the covenant? Do you understand that they've been through the

0:23:43.540 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Jordan so that there's no going back to the wilderness?

0:23:46.580 --> 0:23:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you understand that Joshua has consecrated.

0:23:49.220 --> 0:23:57.430
<v Speaker 1>Them and appointed leaders? This is We're there, man. We

0:23:57.630 --> 0:24:00.070
<v Speaker 1>are there. We're going to do it different. What that

0:24:00.130 --> 0:24:01.929
<v Speaker 1>generation couldn't do, we are going to do.

0:24:02.030 --> 0:24:03.330
<v Speaker 2>God's going to do for us.

0:24:03.730 --> 0:24:08.929
<v Speaker 1>We're going to do this. We're there. They didn't do it,

0:24:08.930 --> 0:24:12.449
<v Speaker 1>but this time around, we're going to fight. It's going

0:24:12.490 --> 0:24:13.750
<v Speaker 1>to be different.

0:24:14.730 --> 0:24:17.550
<v Speaker 2>So Joshua, son of Nun, called the priests and said

0:24:17.570 --> 0:24:18.830
<v Speaker 2>to them, Take up the ark of the covenant of

0:24:18.850 --> 0:24:20.610
<v Speaker 2>the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front

0:24:20.630 --> 0:24:20.810
<v Speaker 2>of them.

0:24:20.850 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Verse 7. He ordered the army.

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Now, this must have been music to their ears. They've

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 2>wandered around and around.

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:36.030
<v Speaker 1>For 40 years. Joshua says the word they've been waiting for,

0:24:36.369 --> 0:24:38.850
<v Speaker 1>verse 7, advance.

0:24:40.670 --> 0:24:43.429
<v Speaker 2>How good would that feel if you'd been stuck in

0:24:43.490 --> 0:24:45.150
<v Speaker 2>something for four decades?

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:52.139
<v Speaker 1>You can get out of this. It's yours. God is

0:24:52.390 --> 0:24:56.830
<v Speaker 1>giving it to you. Go forward. Advance.

0:24:57.810 --> 0:25:01.869
<v Speaker 2>To hear this direction from Joshua, they have waited a

0:25:02.050 --> 0:25:06.179
<v Speaker 2>long time to go forward. They have waited years and

0:25:06.260 --> 0:25:09.980
<v Speaker 2>years for God to give them the next direction, because

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 2>although he sustained them in the wilderness, they were not

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 2>meant to permanently live there.

0:25:14.260 --> 0:25:15.980
<v Speaker 1>I keep bringing you back.

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.170
<v Speaker 2>To that, because there are moments in your life where

0:25:18.450 --> 0:25:19.030
<v Speaker 2>God will.

0:25:18.890 --> 0:25:22.550
<v Speaker 1>Say, move forward. Go forward. Move on.

0:25:23.150 --> 0:25:26.510
<v Speaker 2>Move on with a broken heart. Move on with a

0:25:26.550 --> 0:25:30.820
<v Speaker 2>lot of questions. Move on with unpaid bills. Move on

0:25:31.130 --> 0:25:36.400
<v Speaker 2>with bad credit. Move on with the tendency still. Move on. So,

0:25:37.380 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 2>when Joshua gathered the people and said, advance, I bet

0:25:43.380 --> 0:25:46.699
<v Speaker 2>they were ready to tear down the goalposts on Jericho,

0:25:47.340 --> 0:25:48.830
<v Speaker 2>because they had been waiting for this.

0:25:49.850 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>But here's what got.

0:25:51.630 --> 0:25:53.210
<v Speaker 2>My attention and why I read you that one verse

0:25:53.270 --> 0:25:54.810
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning, because I was very strategic when I

0:25:54.850 --> 0:25:57.050
<v Speaker 2>read you, because I want to read you this. He said,

0:25:57.190 --> 0:26:04.270
<v Speaker 2>put it back up, advance, march around the city. I

0:26:04.310 --> 0:26:09.250
<v Speaker 2>will remind you that these people have just spent 40

0:26:09.250 --> 0:26:14.070
<v Speaker 2>years walking around the wilderness.

0:26:15.150 --> 0:26:17.970
<v Speaker 1>So now they've come to the moment, and this is it.

0:26:18.900 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 1>He's going to bring us in.

0:26:19.540 --> 0:26:19.939
<v Speaker 2>This is it.

0:26:19.980 --> 0:26:22.379
<v Speaker 1>Milk and honey. This is it. Giant's fall. This is it.

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:25.980
<v Speaker 1>Joshua says, advance.

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:30.220
<v Speaker 2>No sooner can they high-five than Joshua says the next word,

0:26:30.500 --> 0:26:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the one word they didn't want to hear, around.

0:26:37.230 --> 0:26:40.050
<v Speaker 1>Hold up. I don't know if I heard you right. Joshua,

0:26:41.550 --> 0:26:42.570
<v Speaker 1>you said advance, right?

0:26:42.590 --> 0:26:46.590
<v Speaker 2>Because I met with God, and he told me he

0:26:46.609 --> 0:26:47.350
<v Speaker 2>gave us the land.

0:26:48.330 --> 0:26:51.590
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but then Joshua, it sounded like you said around

0:26:53.230 --> 0:26:53.629
<v Speaker 1>the city.

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Because I met with God, and that's what he told

0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:00.500
<v Speaker 2>us to do, so we're going to go around. So

0:27:00.540 --> 0:27:06.580
<v Speaker 2>which one is it, Captain Joshua? Are we advancing or

0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 2>are we rounding? I made the word rounding up, but

0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:13.030
<v Speaker 2>you know exactly what I mean by rounding, don't you?

0:27:13.850 --> 0:27:17.030
<v Speaker 2>When you circle the same situation over and over again …

0:27:18.260 --> 0:27:20.940
<v Speaker 2>When you circle the same problem over and over again

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and you think that you're making progress on something only

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 2>to end up exactly where you started.

0:27:29.010 --> 0:27:30.790
<v Speaker 1>Come on. To think that you have.

0:27:30.690 --> 0:27:34.330
<v Speaker 2>Forgiven an offense and only to feel the bitterness come

0:27:34.369 --> 0:27:37.090
<v Speaker 2>back with a vengeance when they post their new car

0:27:37.470 --> 0:27:41.590
<v Speaker 2>that their new husband bought them on Facebook is to say, now,

0:27:41.630 --> 0:27:42.530
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute, God.

0:27:42.930 --> 0:27:47.110
<v Speaker 1>I thought we were moving on, but you said around.

0:27:48.690 --> 0:27:52.090
<v Speaker 2>Because if the Enemy can't use fear to keep you

0:27:52.109 --> 0:27:57.020
<v Speaker 2>from going in or if he can't use frustration, he'll

0:27:57.140 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 2>use your future.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:00.180
<v Speaker 1>I will explain.

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:05.460
<v Speaker 2>The Enemy wants to use your future as a tool

0:28:06.100 --> 0:28:07.080
<v Speaker 2>to get you.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 1>To neglect the now. That's it right there. To neglect

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:14.940
<v Speaker 1>the now.

0:28:16.260 --> 0:28:19.340
<v Speaker 2>I had two pastoral conversations in the last few weeks,

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:22.420
<v Speaker 2>and both of them were remarkable. One of them was

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:25.659
<v Speaker 2>with a young man who's in his 30s, and he

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:26.859
<v Speaker 2>said something strange to me.

0:28:26.900 --> 0:28:31.159
<v Speaker 1>He said, I'm really looking forward to my 40s.

0:28:32.780 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh?

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:34.760
<v Speaker 1>He said, yeah.

0:28:35.780 --> 0:28:39.790
<v Speaker 2>I think my 40s are going to be wonderful. I

0:28:39.810 --> 0:28:42.050
<v Speaker 2>think my 40s are going to be amazing. Now, remember,

0:28:42.090 --> 0:28:44.230
<v Speaker 2>he's in his early 30s. It's not like he's 39

0:28:44.230 --> 0:28:47.670
<v Speaker 2>and having a birthday next week. He still has a

0:28:47.710 --> 0:28:51.030
<v Speaker 2>few years to go before 40. He said, I cannot

0:28:51.170 --> 0:28:55.290
<v Speaker 2>wait for my 40s. I said, What's going to be

0:28:55.310 --> 0:29:00.370
<v Speaker 2>different in your 40s? He said, Financially more stable. My

0:29:00.490 --> 0:29:06.730
<v Speaker 2>kids will need less from me. He started describing something

0:29:06.750 --> 0:29:11.870
<v Speaker 2>to me. The funny thing is, I'm listening to him

0:29:12.870 --> 0:29:14.670
<v Speaker 2>from these magical 40s.

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:19.520
<v Speaker 1>From these fantastic 40s.

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.420
<v Speaker 2>I'm going like, bro, have you ever had somebody show

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:25.660
<v Speaker 2>you something on their phone, and you look at.

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:27.660
<v Speaker 1>It, and you go, I'm sorry to tell you this,

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>but that's not real.

0:29:34.750 --> 0:29:37.410
<v Speaker 2>Those 75 Asian kids all playing Stairway to Heaven and

0:29:37.430 --> 0:29:38.450
<v Speaker 2>Perfect Synchronization.

0:29:38.790 --> 0:29:45.660
<v Speaker 1>That is not real. That's AI.

0:29:47.100 --> 0:29:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to look at him and be like, bro,

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:54.380
<v Speaker 2>I hear what you're describing, this version of.

0:29:54.370 --> 0:29:56.370
<v Speaker 1>Your future that is frustration-free.

0:29:57.470 --> 0:30:00.370
<v Speaker 2>I hear what you're describing, but that's not real.

0:30:01.790 --> 0:30:02.209
<v Speaker 3>That's AI.

0:30:02.230 --> 0:30:08.450
<v Speaker 1>That's AI. AI stands for arrival illusion.

0:30:12.150 --> 0:30:15.410
<v Speaker 2>That's the myth of when I get there, because he's

0:30:15.470 --> 0:30:18.380
<v Speaker 2>struggling so much in his 30s. I mean, life has

0:30:18.420 --> 0:30:20.820
<v Speaker 2>got him by the throat in his 30s, and he's going,

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:25.180
<v Speaker 2>if I could just turn 40, and somebody's 40 like,

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:29.180
<v Speaker 2>if I could just be 30. So, you're looking for

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.719
<v Speaker 2>fast forward. I'm looking for rewind, and neither one is real.

0:30:40.620 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Touch somebody and say, that's not real. That's not even real.

0:30:43.900 --> 0:30:46.459
<v Speaker 2>When we get there, we're going to walk up, and

0:30:46.500 --> 0:30:48.460
<v Speaker 2>the people are going to bow down.

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:50.980
<v Speaker 1>To us, and they're going to give us the promised land.

0:30:51.220 --> 0:30:53.580
<v Speaker 2>Just because God gave us the promised land doesn't mean

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:54.690
<v Speaker 2>we won't fight for it.

0:30:55.060 --> 0:31:06.690
<v Speaker 1>We've got to fight for this. Advance around. Advance around.

0:31:07.550 --> 0:31:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Advance around. Advance.

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:16.290
<v Speaker 2>All progress doesn't feel like a straight line with God.

0:31:17.470 --> 0:31:19.670
<v Speaker 1>Advance around.

0:31:20.590 --> 0:31:23.030
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to get dizzy doing this illustration, but

0:31:23.070 --> 0:31:24.930
<v Speaker 2>just soak it in real quick, and then I'll quit.

0:31:25.370 --> 0:31:29.230
<v Speaker 1>Advance around.

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:31.620
<v Speaker 2>The same week that my friend in his 30s said

0:31:31.660 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that to me, one of my friends who's a pastor

0:31:34.220 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 2>said to me, you know, year 10 of pastoring is

0:31:37.420 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 2>really rough. I said, is it now? Tell me about that.

0:31:41.110 --> 0:31:43.730
<v Speaker 2>He said, it's really rough. Don't have all the resources.

0:31:44.050 --> 0:31:46.390
<v Speaker 2>Got all this debt we're having to take on. He said,

0:31:46.450 --> 0:31:49.650
<v Speaker 2>I just look forward to year 20.

0:31:49.930 --> 0:31:51.390
<v Speaker 1>It just so happens.

0:31:50.930 --> 0:31:56.990
<v Speaker 2>That I can send him a postcard from year 20.

0:31:56.990 --> 0:32:04.690
<v Speaker 2>Everything he's imagining about year 20, I'm living it.

0:32:04.870 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 1>It is amazing. It is great. Now, you've had people

0:32:09.150 --> 0:32:09.910
<v Speaker 1>do this to you too.

0:32:11.350 --> 0:32:15.430
<v Speaker 2>There is somebody who has looked at your life, and

0:32:15.470 --> 0:32:17.110
<v Speaker 2>they see it as frustration-free.

0:32:19.650 --> 0:32:24.540
<v Speaker 1>You just want to scream back at them what it

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:32.620
<v Speaker 1>actually cost you to be you. So, let me make

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 1>an announcement. It's not real. It's not real. Let me

0:32:39.580 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 1>help you with this. It's AI.

0:32:41.680 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 2>It's a rival illusion. It's like the Israelites. When we

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 2>get there, we're going to get there.

0:32:47.350 --> 0:32:49.550
<v Speaker 1>We're there. We're going in. Ah, not yet. You're going

0:32:49.570 --> 0:32:51.810
<v Speaker 1>around and around.

0:32:51.850 --> 0:32:53.230
<v Speaker 2>But we just went around. Yeah, but you're going to

0:32:53.250 --> 0:32:57.370
<v Speaker 2>keep going around, because you're always going to be circling something.

0:32:59.650 --> 0:33:06.290
<v Speaker 2>You're going to either be circling the wilderness or the walls.

0:33:08.910 --> 0:33:10.170
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say that again.

0:33:11.130 --> 0:33:14.250
<v Speaker 2>I guess my mic cut out because you didn't say

0:33:14.350 --> 0:33:17.670
<v Speaker 2>anything when I said that. You're either going to be

0:33:17.750 --> 0:33:20.250
<v Speaker 2>circling the wilderness or the walls.

0:33:20.310 --> 0:33:23.530
<v Speaker 1>Somebody shout, give me the walls. I'll take the walls.

0:33:24.070 --> 0:33:24.930
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the walls.

0:33:24.970 --> 0:33:28.530
<v Speaker 2>See, because the difference between the wilderness and the walls

0:33:28.890 --> 0:33:31.170
<v Speaker 2>is that a wilderness, no matter how much you walk

0:33:31.230 --> 0:33:39.070
<v Speaker 2>around in it, a wilderness cannot move, but walls can fall.

0:33:40.430 --> 0:33:42.460
<v Speaker 1>Walls. Cans.

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:48.020
<v Speaker 2>Fall. We love this passage, because it reminds us that

0:33:48.180 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 2>walls can fall.

0:33:50.700 --> 0:33:53.370
<v Speaker 1>You can come out of debt. You can come out

0:33:53.380 --> 0:33:55.790
<v Speaker 1>of depression. You can come out of defeat.

0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:59.290
<v Speaker 2>You can survive a divorce and love again.

0:33:59.610 --> 0:34:00.430
<v Speaker 1>You can.

0:34:02.090 --> 0:34:04.830
<v Speaker 2>Deal with a diagnosis and not lose your mind, even

0:34:04.870 --> 0:34:08.969
<v Speaker 2>if the enemy attacks your body. Walls can fall, but

0:34:09.010 --> 0:34:13.359
<v Speaker 2>the interesting thing about the passage to me is not

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the shout.

0:34:15.219 --> 0:34:16.020
<v Speaker 1>It's the silence.

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 2>The interesting thing to me is not.

0:34:22.060 --> 0:34:25.880
<v Speaker 1>The seventh day that they shouted. That's the good part.

0:34:26.300 --> 0:34:27.419
<v Speaker 1>That's the preachable part.

0:34:27.739 --> 0:34:30.700
<v Speaker 2>That's the part we put in a song. My praise

0:34:31.020 --> 0:34:34.390
<v Speaker 2>is the waters my enemies drown in. My praise is

0:34:34.430 --> 0:34:38.189
<v Speaker 2>the shout that brings Jericho down. But I see this

0:34:38.310 --> 0:34:44.950
<v Speaker 2>passage as being about persistence more than praise. I don't

0:34:44.989 --> 0:34:48.830
<v Speaker 2>see this passage as being so much about the day

0:34:48.870 --> 0:34:51.390
<v Speaker 2>they shouted and the walls fell.

0:34:52.730 --> 0:34:54.850
<v Speaker 1>I think faith is about the days you show up

0:34:55.110 --> 0:34:55.569
<v Speaker 1>and they don't.

0:34:55.570 --> 0:35:07.109
<v Speaker 2>54 years old, talking about, I can't wait to get

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:07.930
<v Speaker 2>to my 60s.

0:35:07.989 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to get to my 70s.

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how long are you going to wait for

0:35:11.580 --> 0:35:14.299
<v Speaker 2>God to do something for you? If the enemy can't

0:35:14.340 --> 0:35:16.400
<v Speaker 2>make you fearful about what you're facing, if he can't

0:35:16.420 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 2>make you frustrated about what you're facing, he'll just make

0:35:18.700 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 2>you look forward to the future. He just gives AI

0:35:21.940 --> 0:35:23.430
<v Speaker 2>this arrival illusion.

0:35:23.489 --> 0:35:24.150
<v Speaker 1>It's an illusion.

0:35:24.450 --> 0:35:28.350
<v Speaker 2>So now you are standing in the future that you imagined,

0:35:29.790 --> 0:35:32.690
<v Speaker 2>and you are waiting on the one that isn't real.

0:35:34.610 --> 0:35:35.430
<v Speaker 1>You see what I'm saying?

0:35:36.530 --> 0:35:41.470
<v Speaker 2>There is no version of your future that is frustration-free,

0:35:44.390 --> 0:35:46.350
<v Speaker 2>but there can be a stronger.

0:35:45.989 --> 0:35:50.430
<v Speaker 1>You that steps into it. There is no version.

0:35:51.510 --> 0:35:53.969
<v Speaker 2>Of your future or my future … There is no

0:35:54.050 --> 0:35:56.850
<v Speaker 2>version of your life that is frustration-free.

0:35:57.989 --> 0:35:59.450
<v Speaker 1>If you are broke and you.

0:35:59.370 --> 0:36:01.430
<v Speaker 2>Get the money to pay off your bills, you will

0:36:01.469 --> 0:36:04.069
<v Speaker 2>now have the frustration of having enough money to pay

0:36:04.130 --> 0:36:06.469
<v Speaker 2>off bills, which means people are going to want to borrow.

0:36:06.489 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 2>You're going to go from the frustration of being broke

0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:12.180
<v Speaker 2>to the frustration of people wanting to borrow. There is

0:36:12.660 --> 0:36:17.359
<v Speaker 2>no version of your future that is frustration-free. There is

0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:22.420
<v Speaker 2>no advance without a round. There is no moment in

0:36:22.460 --> 0:36:23.799
<v Speaker 2>your life … I know.

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:26.170
<v Speaker 1>How we get. We get AI. We get a rival illusion.

0:36:25.870 --> 0:36:27.570
<v Speaker 2>Like, I can't wait for the day I'm going to

0:36:27.610 --> 0:36:30.430
<v Speaker 2>get my temper under control. You may never have your

0:36:30.469 --> 0:36:34.700
<v Speaker 2>temper under control. You may need the Holy Spirit all

0:36:34.739 --> 0:36:41.280
<v Speaker 2>the time. to help you with what you can't control. Yeah,

0:36:41.300 --> 0:36:42.900
<v Speaker 2>you may get a little older. You may not want

0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:44.580
<v Speaker 2>to rage as much anymore. You may just not even

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:46.620
<v Speaker 2>have the strength to yell about stuff, so it may

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:49.400
<v Speaker 2>change a little bit, but that anger … This is

0:36:49.420 --> 0:36:50.800
<v Speaker 2>what I said to my friend who's in his 30s

0:36:51.100 --> 0:36:51.980
<v Speaker 2>who wants to get to his 40s. This is what

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I said to my friend who wanted to get to

0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:55.580
<v Speaker 2>year 20. I said, there is no version of your

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:58.860
<v Speaker 2>future that is struggle-free.

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:02.200
<v Speaker 1>But what you.

0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:12.390
<v Speaker 2>Do now determines which you walks into that future.

0:37:13.270 --> 0:37:16.310
<v Speaker 1>Are you with me? I have just a little bit more.

0:37:16.330 --> 0:37:19.740
<v Speaker 1>I have to get you there. Somebody shout, That's what

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:22.500
<v Speaker 1>they thought. We're there. It's the promised land. It's Jericho.

0:37:22.860 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Joshua confirms it. He goes,' Advance!

0:37:25.700 --> 0:37:26.660
<v Speaker 2>Yeah!

0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:27.220
<v Speaker 1>Advance!

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:28.550
<v Speaker 2>Let's go!

0:37:28.870 --> 0:37:31.410
<v Speaker 1>Advance! March around! Around!

0:37:32.790 --> 0:37:38.470
<v Speaker 2>We've got around down. We want to go ahead!' I

0:37:38.489 --> 0:37:41.690
<v Speaker 2>got struggled down. I want to get to my 40s.

0:37:41.750 --> 0:37:44.710
<v Speaker 2>My 40s is going to be paid off, and it's

0:37:44.790 --> 0:37:47.930
<v Speaker 2>going to be peaceful, and it's going to be amazing.

0:37:48.270 --> 0:37:50.910
<v Speaker 1>Right? Lie to me. Tell me it is. I have

0:37:50.930 --> 0:37:51.609
<v Speaker 1>to believe it.

0:37:56.080 --> 0:37:58.020
<v Speaker 2>There is no version of your future that is frustration-free,

0:37:58.660 --> 0:38:02.170
<v Speaker 2>but there can be a stronger you that steps into it.

0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:05.919
<v Speaker 2>So now I know why God told him to walk around.

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:11.109
<v Speaker 2>because he needed to teach them to follow more than

0:38:11.130 --> 0:38:12.330
<v Speaker 2>he needed to teach them how to fight.

0:38:12.350 --> 0:38:20.549
<v Speaker 1>That hit me when I saw it. Watch.

0:38:20.590 --> 0:38:23.600
<v Speaker 2>This is the part I saw, because essentially what my

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:26.100
<v Speaker 2>friends are saying, I want to get to the good part.

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:28.140
<v Speaker 1>How many have felt that way?

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 2>I want to get to the good part, like the

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 2>easy part of life, like the good part of relationship.

0:38:32.469 --> 0:38:35.390
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you. I … I pray that for you.

0:38:35.860 --> 0:38:37.570
<v Speaker 2>I want goodness and mercy to follow you all the

0:38:37.610 --> 0:38:39.760
<v Speaker 2>days of your life, but.

0:38:40.100 --> 0:38:41.140
<v Speaker 1>The idea that.

0:38:42.840 --> 0:38:48.500
<v Speaker 2>This good part is coming … It's the myth of

0:38:48.540 --> 0:38:51.620
<v Speaker 2>when I get there, and I'll prove it to you.

0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:53.540
<v Speaker 2>You know this, but maybe you just need me to

0:38:53.580 --> 0:38:56.899
<v Speaker 2>point it out, but you already know. After the walls fell,

0:38:56.920 --> 0:39:01.450
<v Speaker 2>they still had to fight. After they fought that battle,

0:39:01.650 --> 0:39:06.390
<v Speaker 2>they still had to defeat 31 kings. So, we shout

0:39:06.469 --> 0:39:09.080
<v Speaker 2>over seven days, and the walls fell. Well, that's awesome,

0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:12.500
<v Speaker 2>but guess how long it took them to take the land?

0:39:12.860 --> 0:39:20.460
<v Speaker 2>Seven years. You're always going to be circling something. That's

0:39:20.500 --> 0:39:22.950
<v Speaker 2>why you have to stop while you're circling and just

0:39:23.010 --> 0:39:24.310
<v Speaker 2>praise the Lord for.

0:39:24.230 --> 0:39:26.250
<v Speaker 1>Where I am right now.

0:39:28.650 --> 0:39:31.710
<v Speaker 2>You've been trying to get to the good part, get

0:39:31.750 --> 0:39:33.530
<v Speaker 2>to the part where you're strong, get to the part

0:39:33.550 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 2>where you've got.

0:39:34.100 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 1>This … You have to manage now. You have to

0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:38.080
<v Speaker 1>tighten now. You have to right now. You lost the

0:39:38.100 --> 0:39:40.460
<v Speaker 1>weight now. You gained the muscle now. You lost the fat.

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:42.259
<v Speaker 1>You gained the muscle. You did this stuff. You did

0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:44.380
<v Speaker 1>it all. I'm going to get there. When I get

0:39:44.420 --> 0:39:46.210
<v Speaker 1>there … It's the myth of when.

0:39:48.170 --> 0:39:51.950
<v Speaker 2>I get there, but the miracle of Joshua, chapter 6,

0:39:51.950 --> 0:39:55.390
<v Speaker 2>is not the seventh day when they shouted. It's the

0:39:55.510 --> 0:39:59.650
<v Speaker 2>second day when they showed up. I said the real

0:39:59.730 --> 0:40:04.689
<v Speaker 2>miracle of Joshua, chapter 6, is not the seventh day

0:40:04.730 --> 0:40:08.980
<v Speaker 2>when they shouted. It's the second day when they showed up.

0:40:09.700 --> 0:40:12.339
<v Speaker 2>They showed up the second day, the third day. Let's

0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:15.219
<v Speaker 2>imagine this. Since we have great imaginations and we can

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:20.380
<v Speaker 2>imagine the future, let's imagine the passage. Advance around the city,

0:40:20.460 --> 0:40:23.140
<v Speaker 2>and don't say anything, because I can't have you talking

0:40:23.180 --> 0:40:24.840
<v Speaker 2>about how stupid.

0:40:24.460 --> 0:40:25.540
<v Speaker 1>This feels to go around.

0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:30.580
<v Speaker 2>Now, on the first day, you're fired up. I don't

0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:35.899
<v Speaker 2>know why we're walking around, but something good is about

0:40:35.940 --> 0:40:38.660
<v Speaker 2>to happen. We're about to go in, only to find

0:40:38.780 --> 0:40:41.900
<v Speaker 2>out when you get home that night and take off

0:40:42.140 --> 0:40:45.500
<v Speaker 2>your armor, you have to explain to your wife that

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:47.220
<v Speaker 2>you went for a walk today.

0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Imagine your wife. She's like,' How did it go today?'

0:40:53.730 --> 0:40:56.290
<v Speaker 1>Did we take Jericho? Did we take him, baby? Did

0:40:56.310 --> 0:40:59.190
<v Speaker 1>we take him? Did we take him, you big, strong warrior?

0:40:59.230 --> 0:41:02.750
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yeah, well, about that, man.

0:41:02.770 --> 0:41:06.790
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of interesting today because he said advance,

0:41:07.750 --> 0:41:09.450
<v Speaker 2>but then he said around, so we were.

0:41:09.390 --> 0:41:12.569
<v Speaker 1>Like fired up in the Holy Ghost.

0:41:12.650 --> 0:41:15.690
<v Speaker 2>We were fired up in the Holy Ghost, but we

0:41:15.770 --> 0:41:21.850
<v Speaker 2>fired up, but then we were kind of frustrated because all.

0:41:21.739 --> 0:41:26.130
<v Speaker 1>We did was walk. and we're right back where we started.

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was kind of nice. They had some

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:34.580
<v Speaker 1>trumpets and stuff. It was peaceful, you know, epic sounding.

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.160
<v Speaker 1>It sounded like something was about to happen. Trumpets were blown.

0:41:38.300 --> 0:41:46.469
<v Speaker 1>It sounded like … But then, here we are back home.

0:41:46.489 --> 0:41:50.750
<v Speaker 2>Remember I told you last week Jericho isn't big.

0:41:50.770 --> 0:41:52.089
<v Speaker 1>It only took about 10 or 15 minutes.

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:55.399
<v Speaker 2>They have to explain to her, why are you back

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 2>home and it's 8.30 in the morning?

0:41:57.320 --> 0:41:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought you had a job. I thought you had

0:41:58.760 --> 0:41:59.100
<v Speaker 1>a fight.

0:42:03.660 --> 0:42:06.819
<v Speaker 2>Why am I dramatizing this?

0:42:06.860 --> 0:42:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I think you feel like that some days.

0:42:11.260 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I think you feel like that a lot of times

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:15.260
<v Speaker 2>when you're trying to have a conversation with your parents,

0:42:15.580 --> 0:42:18.500
<v Speaker 2>but they never listen to you.

0:42:18.540 --> 0:42:22.290
<v Speaker 1>You're like, why can't we make any progress here? We

0:42:22.310 --> 0:42:27.790
<v Speaker 1>just go round and round. Around and around and around.

0:42:28.750 --> 0:42:30.649
<v Speaker 1>I took my wife on a date night, and guess

0:42:30.670 --> 0:42:36.469
<v Speaker 1>what it ended in? A fight. Around and around. I

0:42:36.590 --> 0:42:42.240
<v Speaker 1>even got her flowers. I got her flowers, and she.

0:42:42.120 --> 0:42:45.700
<v Speaker 2>Said they looked kind of dead. See, the reason I

0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:50.799
<v Speaker 2>took her on the date night is so we could

0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:52.950
<v Speaker 2>end up somewhere different.

0:42:54.020 --> 0:42:55.240
<v Speaker 1>After the date.

0:42:56.210 --> 0:42:59.950
<v Speaker 2>But here we are, still both on opposite sides of

0:42:59.989 --> 0:43:05.739
<v Speaker 2>the bed, just round and round Now, I have to

0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:09.010
<v Speaker 2>move through this point, but who am I preaching to today?

0:43:09.610 --> 0:43:12.430
<v Speaker 2>In an area of your life, you are like, I

0:43:12.530 --> 0:43:16.530
<v Speaker 2>am sick of circling this. I am sick of dealing

0:43:16.570 --> 0:43:20.330
<v Speaker 2>with this. I am sick of going through this. I

0:43:21.070 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 2>walked around enough in the wilderness. I thought I was there.

0:43:24.900 --> 0:43:26.570
<v Speaker 2>This is supposed to be my 40s.

0:43:26.700 --> 0:43:31.759
<v Speaker 1>You see this gray hair? How come I still don't.

0:43:31.700 --> 0:43:34.149
<v Speaker 2>Know what I'm doing with my life? And I've got

0:43:34.210 --> 0:43:37.770
<v Speaker 2>gray hair. I was supposed to be there by now.

0:43:42.660 --> 0:43:44.410
<v Speaker 1>I know you've been feeling that. I know you've been

0:43:44.430 --> 0:43:45.950
<v Speaker 1>feeling that. You want to get to the good part.

0:43:46.130 --> 0:43:47.690
<v Speaker 1>Come on, God. Bring the walls down. Come on, God.

0:43:47.850 --> 0:43:49.910
<v Speaker 1>Bring the giant down. Come on, God. Split the Jordan.

0:43:49.950 --> 0:43:51.930
<v Speaker 1>Split the sea. Do the thing. Do it, God. Do

0:43:51.969 --> 0:43:52.850
<v Speaker 1>it for me. Do it for them.

0:43:52.989 --> 0:43:53.469
<v Speaker 4>Do it for Daniel.

0:43:53.630 --> 0:43:54.710
<v Speaker 2>Do it for Elijah. Do it for Moses.

0:43:54.890 --> 0:43:57.660
<v Speaker 1>Do it for me. Do it for Joshua. I'll shout, God.

0:43:57.890 --> 0:43:58.219
<v Speaker 2>I'll shout.

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:01.020
<v Speaker 1>Hallelujah. I'll shout. Thank you, Jesus.

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:06.640
<v Speaker 2>But the miracle is less about the shout when the

0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:10.730
<v Speaker 2>walls fall It's more about showing up when they don't.

0:44:13.570 --> 0:44:20.209
<v Speaker 2>Because you don't need God to be more specific. You

0:44:20.250 --> 0:44:27.950
<v Speaker 2>need to take the next step. I need you to

0:44:27.989 --> 0:44:31.390
<v Speaker 2>be more specific, God. Notice what Joshua did not tell

0:44:31.870 --> 0:44:36.650
<v Speaker 2>the people. He didn't tell them anything about the seven days.

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Find it. Find it, and I'll retire on the spot.

0:44:42.739 --> 0:44:44.900
<v Speaker 2>I'll turn in my preaching microphone and my badge and

0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:46.540
<v Speaker 2>my gun, and I'll never preach again.

0:44:46.900 --> 0:44:50.740
<v Speaker 1>If you can find where Joshua told.

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:53.870
<v Speaker 2>The people, all right, y'all, it's going to be kind

0:44:53.910 --> 0:44:57.029
<v Speaker 2>of weird, but we're going to walk around, but it's

0:44:57.050 --> 0:44:58.470
<v Speaker 2>going to be good because we're going to have trumpets,

0:44:58.489 --> 0:45:02.549
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to intimidate the enemy, and.

0:45:01.790 --> 0:45:05.170
<v Speaker 1>On the seventh day, we're going to take seven laps.

0:45:05.670 --> 0:45:07.990
<v Speaker 1>We're going to really turn it up on the seventh day.

0:45:08.710 --> 0:45:10.850
<v Speaker 1>We're going to shout, and the walls are going to

0:45:10.910 --> 0:45:11.390
<v Speaker 1>fall down.

0:45:11.770 --> 0:45:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Find me where Joshua told them what was going to

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:17.219
<v Speaker 2>happen on the seventh day. He didn't tell them any

0:45:17.260 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 2>of that. Instead of giving them the specifics, he gave

0:45:23.060 --> 0:45:24.460
<v Speaker 2>them a step.

0:45:25.620 --> 0:45:32.010
<v Speaker 5>When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests

0:45:32.070 --> 0:45:36.110
<v Speaker 5>carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward.

0:45:36.910 --> 0:45:41.290
<v Speaker 2>Blowing their trumpets, so they're going forward, but they're going around,

0:45:41.370 --> 0:45:44.740
<v Speaker 2>so they're obeying God, but nothing is changing, and not

0:45:44.780 --> 0:45:47.100
<v Speaker 2>a brick is falling from the wall, and not a

0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:50.360
<v Speaker 2>sign is coming from the sky, and not a single

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:54.360
<v Speaker 2>evidence that God has spoken is presenting and manifesting itself

0:45:54.420 --> 0:45:59.570
<v Speaker 2>in physical form, but they went forward, blowing their trumpets,

0:45:59.910 --> 0:46:02.830
<v Speaker 2>and the ark of of the Lord's covenant followed them.

0:46:03.270 --> 0:46:06.750
<v Speaker 2>The armed guard marched ahead of the priest who blew

0:46:06.790 --> 0:46:11.790
<v Speaker 2>the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All

0:46:11.870 --> 0:46:15.330
<v Speaker 2>this time the trumpets were sounding, but Joshua had commanded

0:46:15.350 --> 0:46:18.110
<v Speaker 2>the army, Don't give a cry, don't raise your voice,

0:46:18.330 --> 0:46:20.089
<v Speaker 2>don't say a word until the day I tell you

0:46:20.110 --> 0:46:29.500
<v Speaker 2>to shout Then shout, So he had the ark of

0:46:29.540 --> 0:46:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. The ark of the Lord represented the presence

0:46:33.140 --> 0:46:36.580
<v Speaker 2>and the protection and the power of God. It's where

0:46:36.620 --> 0:46:39.859
<v Speaker 2>the Ten Commandments lived. It's where the manna lived. It's

0:46:39.900 --> 0:46:42.779
<v Speaker 2>where Aaron's rod lived. It's where what they went through

0:46:42.820 --> 0:46:45.950
<v Speaker 2>in the wilderness was commemorated for them to take forward

0:46:45.989 --> 0:46:48.690
<v Speaker 2>into their future. So he had the ark of the

0:46:48.750 --> 0:46:53.069
<v Speaker 2>Lord carried around the city, around the city. So, they're

0:46:53.090 --> 0:46:56.969
<v Speaker 2>walking around, but they are not alone. I came to

0:46:57.030 --> 0:47:00.180
<v Speaker 2>preach to somebody today. You may be walking around it,

0:47:00.410 --> 0:47:02.060
<v Speaker 2>but you are not alone in it.

0:47:02.350 --> 0:47:04.810
<v Speaker 1>The ark of God is with you. The presence of

0:47:04.830 --> 0:47:06.810
<v Speaker 1>God is with you. He said they took the ark,

0:47:06.820 --> 0:47:08.779
<v Speaker 1>and they carried it around the city, circling it once.

0:47:16.020 --> 0:47:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.

0:47:20.180 --> 0:47:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:26.440
<v Speaker 2>took up the ark of the Lord. The seven priests

0:47:26.500 --> 0:47:30.120
<v Speaker 2>carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark

0:47:30.239 --> 0:47:33.180
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men

0:47:33.219 --> 0:47:35.660
<v Speaker 2>went ahead of them, and the rear guard followed the

0:47:35.860 --> 0:47:39.290
<v Speaker 2>ark of the Lord while the trumpets kept sounding. So

0:47:39.390 --> 0:47:40.830
<v Speaker 2>on the second day they marched forward.

0:47:41.130 --> 0:47:45.109
<v Speaker 1>Around the city once and returned to the camp, they

0:47:45.170 --> 0:47:48.270
<v Speaker 1>did this six days. Verse 15.

0:47:48.270 --> 0:47:51.489
<v Speaker 2>On the seventh day … That's the good part. That's

0:47:51.530 --> 0:47:53.630
<v Speaker 2>the part you want to get to. That's the part

0:47:53.670 --> 0:47:55.690
<v Speaker 2>you want to skip to. That's the part you want

0:47:55.730 --> 0:47:57.029
<v Speaker 2>God to bring you to. That's when you're going to

0:47:57.050 --> 0:47:58.750
<v Speaker 2>be grateful. That's when you're going to feel good. That's

0:47:58.770 --> 0:48:00.210
<v Speaker 2>when you're going to have an assurance. That's when you're

0:48:00.230 --> 0:48:01.569
<v Speaker 2>going to be kinder. That's when you're going to forgive.

0:48:01.790 --> 0:48:04.110
<v Speaker 2>That's when you're going to move on. On the seventh

0:48:04.210 --> 0:48:06.529
<v Speaker 2>day … They did this for six days, and on

0:48:06.570 --> 0:48:08.910
<v Speaker 2>the seventh day … That's the good part, but I

0:48:08.969 --> 0:48:11.310
<v Speaker 2>want to tell you … Stop waiting.

0:48:10.989 --> 0:48:14.640
<v Speaker 1>To get to the good part. Get to the God part.

0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:35.509
<v Speaker 2>&lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt;

0:48:37.500 --> 0:48:40.819
<v Speaker 2>And so on every day that they marched, they had

0:48:40.860 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the ark. Even when no bricks moved, they had the ark.

0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:50.700
<v Speaker 2>Even when there was no visible sign of progress, come on,

0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:54.219
<v Speaker 2>I'm preaching, they had the ark. On the second day

0:48:54.260 --> 0:48:57.049
<v Speaker 2>when they felt stupid going around the walls, they had

0:48:57.070 --> 0:48:57.470
<v Speaker 2>the ark.

0:48:58.160 --> 0:48:59.200
<v Speaker 1>On the third day.

0:48:59.070 --> 0:49:01.629
<v Speaker 2>When they were starting to question, is anything ever going

0:49:01.670 --> 0:49:04.610
<v Speaker 2>to happen? Because Joshua never told them, on the seventh

0:49:04.630 --> 0:49:07.029
<v Speaker 2>day it's coming down. They just had to do it

0:49:07.650 --> 0:49:15.680
<v Speaker 2>this time around. Not so focused on the seventh time

0:49:16.140 --> 0:49:17.110
<v Speaker 2>that you missed this.

0:49:17.130 --> 0:49:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I have the ark this time around.

0:49:22.580 --> 0:49:26.120
<v Speaker 2>My life started changing when I stopped looking for the

0:49:26.200 --> 0:49:30.540
<v Speaker 2>good part and started looking for the God part. I

0:49:30.580 --> 0:49:33.160
<v Speaker 2>found out that in the highs of my life there's

0:49:33.200 --> 0:49:36.010
<v Speaker 2>a God part, but in the lows of my life

0:49:36.410 --> 0:49:37.750
<v Speaker 2>there's a God part too.

0:49:38.230 --> 0:49:40.190
<v Speaker 1>I have the ark that in.

0:49:40.170 --> 0:49:43.750
<v Speaker 2>The seasons where people are surrounding me, there's a God part.

0:49:44.180 --> 0:49:47.980
<v Speaker 2>But in the seasons where I'm all alone, crying myself

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:51.219
<v Speaker 2>to sleep, and nobody texting to check on me.

0:49:51.719 --> 0:49:53.300
<v Speaker 1>I've got the ark.

0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:57.220
<v Speaker 2>The reason I can survive as I circle this issue

0:49:57.300 --> 0:50:01.120
<v Speaker 2>in my life is not because I'm watching walls fall,

0:50:01.540 --> 0:50:04.590
<v Speaker 2>and it's not because I have proof. It's because I

0:50:04.630 --> 0:50:09.270
<v Speaker 2>have his presence. I came to remind somebody today, you've

0:50:09.290 --> 0:50:10.069
<v Speaker 2>got the ark.

0:50:10.630 --> 0:50:12.370
<v Speaker 1>You've got the presence of God.

0:50:12.790 --> 0:50:16.000
<v Speaker 2>You've got the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.

0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Not when you get there, but.

0:50:18.780 --> 0:50:30.410
<v Speaker 1>Right here, right now. You've got God. If you've got God,

0:50:31.070 --> 0:50:35.550
<v Speaker 1>I can circle this as long as it takes, because

0:50:35.950 --> 0:50:38.070
<v Speaker 1>I've got God.

0:50:38.830 --> 0:50:42.570
<v Speaker 2>I'm not waiting for a wall to begin to crumble

0:50:42.910 --> 0:50:46.520
<v Speaker 2>for me to have faith, because I have God on

0:50:46.660 --> 0:50:50.940
<v Speaker 2>every circle I make. If somebody is cussing me out,

0:50:51.360 --> 0:50:54.900
<v Speaker 2>I have God. If they fire me, I have God.

0:50:55.219 --> 0:50:57.640
<v Speaker 2>If they promote me, I have God.

0:50:58.000 --> 0:51:01.140
<v Speaker 1>If nobody else will help me, I have God.

0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:05.500
<v Speaker 2>If my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will.

0:51:05.340 --> 0:51:09.460
<v Speaker 1>Take me up. If the doctors can't help me, I've

0:51:09.580 --> 0:51:10.399
<v Speaker 1>got God.

0:51:10.580 --> 0:51:13.040
<v Speaker 4>If they sue me, I've got God.

0:51:13.420 --> 0:51:16.910
<v Speaker 2>If they slay me, I've got God.

0:51:16.950 --> 0:51:22.190
<v Speaker 4>Tell every devil I'm not crazy because.

0:51:21.430 --> 0:51:22.390
<v Speaker 1>I want more.

0:51:22.530 --> 0:51:23.550
<v Speaker 4>I'm crazy.

0:51:24.670 --> 0:51:28.090
<v Speaker 1>Because I've got God.

0:51:28.910 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 2>That's how I'm walking around these walls, because I've got God.

0:51:34.760 --> 0:51:38.239
<v Speaker 2>You can't make me doubt him. He lives inside of me.

0:51:38.760 --> 0:51:41.810
<v Speaker 2>I know too much about him, so I go around

0:51:42.190 --> 0:51:55.120
<v Speaker 2>and around. All this time, the trumpets were sounding. Day one,

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:58.450
<v Speaker 2>the trumpets were sounding. Day two, the trumpets were sounding.

0:51:58.800 --> 0:52:02.030
<v Speaker 2>Day three, the trumpets were sounding. Day four, the trumpets

0:52:02.050 --> 0:52:04.790
<v Speaker 2>were sounding, but nothing was happening with the wall.

0:52:05.130 --> 0:52:05.850
<v Speaker 1>That's all right.

0:52:06.170 --> 0:52:08.529
<v Speaker 2>I'm not blowing my trumpet because of a wall. I'm

0:52:08.550 --> 0:52:10.870
<v Speaker 2>blowing it because of a word. If I walk in

0:52:10.910 --> 0:52:13.819
<v Speaker 2>this word, if I walk … He said he gave

0:52:13.860 --> 0:52:15.120
<v Speaker 2>it to me. I have God.

0:52:15.360 --> 0:52:16.219
<v Speaker 1>He said he'd be with me.

0:52:16.500 --> 0:52:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I have God.

0:52:17.340 --> 0:52:24.040
<v Speaker 1>He said he'd never fail me nor forsake me. I have.

0:52:25.060 --> 0:52:25.360
<v Speaker 2>God.

0:52:25.620 --> 0:52:28.930
<v Speaker 1>Your neighbor is confused. Why are you praising God? You

0:52:28.950 --> 0:52:29.820
<v Speaker 1>have cancer.

0:52:30.070 --> 0:52:32.850
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I have cancer, but I have God. I have

0:52:32.890 --> 0:52:33.250
<v Speaker 2>an ark.

0:52:33.550 --> 0:52:35.570
<v Speaker 1>I'm going back for another.

0:52:35.230 --> 0:52:37.270
<v Speaker 2>Round of treatment, but just.

0:52:37.110 --> 0:52:40.250
<v Speaker 4>Because I'm going back for another round.

0:52:40.270 --> 0:52:42.009
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean I can't rejoice.

0:52:46.840 --> 0:52:55.720
<v Speaker 2>This time around, I don't even have to wait to shout,

0:52:55.739 --> 0:52:58.060
<v Speaker 2>because my walls already fell.

0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Not because of Joshua, but.

0:53:04.540 --> 0:53:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Because of Jesus! Shout now!

0:53:11.760 --> 0:53:15.650
<v Speaker 3>So what are you waiting for? What life are you

0:53:15.670 --> 0:53:21.560
<v Speaker 3>waiting for? What level are you waiting for? My Bible says,

0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:32.890
<v Speaker 3>let everything that has breath The last time I checked, the.

0:53:32.810 --> 0:53:37.370
<v Speaker 2>Trumpet was an instrument that you play with your breath.

0:53:37.489 --> 0:53:42.509
<v Speaker 2>All this time, the trumpet was sounding through every heartbreak,

0:53:42.930 --> 0:53:44.830
<v Speaker 2>through every setback.

0:53:44.880 --> 0:53:45.819
<v Speaker 1>Through every laugh.

0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:47.560
<v Speaker 4>This time around.

0:53:51.500 --> 0:53:57.140
<v Speaker 3>Let every day that has breath … Praise the Lord!

0:53:58.270 --> 0:53:59.350
<v Speaker 2>Praise the Lord.

0:54:00.090 --> 0:54:01.290
<v Speaker 1>Let everything.

0:54:01.310 --> 0:54:03.270
<v Speaker 2>Let everything. Let everything.

0:54:04.430 --> 0:54:05.529
<v Speaker 1>Praise the Lord.

<v Speaker 2>You know it.

0:54:06.520 --> 0:54:07.660
<v Speaker 1>Praise the Lord.

0:54:08.320 --> 0:54:10.900

<v Speaker 1>I'll shout because I've got God. You see what I'm saying?

0:54:43.170 --> 0:54:45.310
<v Speaker 2>I praise because.

0:54:44.750 --> 0:54:49.830
<v Speaker 3>I've been through a red sea, and the Egyptians.

0:54:48.850 --> 0:54:50.290
<v Speaker 2>Didn't make it.

0:54:50.410 --> 0:54:53.009
<v Speaker 4>Do you have a trumpet?

0:54:53.070 --> 0:54:55.400

<v Speaker 2>me to.
