00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: When you give him a hug. Let him know we're

Speaker 3: in this together. Let him know God is good. Bring

00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: on the throne. Let him know I've got a king

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: named Jesus, and I'm gonna be.

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: All right no matter what happens.

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: He already showed me that the worst can happen, and

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 3: He's still great. Somebody shall God is great, He's still great.

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 4: Shall He's always great?

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: Well, if your God is that great, give him a

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: great shallt uf.

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Grey praise the Lord.

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: Love you, Stacy, Love you, Timothy. I'm looking around for

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: people I love.

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: Love you, Brad, you do, she said, we love you.

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: I want to tell you something. If we ever got

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: to know each other, we would be best friends.

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: I promise you, man, we would be texting each other

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: all the time.

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Silly stuff, stupid stuff.

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: You feel a sense of love for those that you lead,

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: even if you don't personally know them. It's a strange

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: thing to describe. On Monday, I was praying for you now.

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: I was half hungover from my sermon on Sunday. It's

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: a holy hangover, and the Lord started showing me stuff.

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: It was amazing.

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: He gave me a phrase that I want to teach

34
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: on for the next six weeks.

35
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: And as different.

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: Events were unfurling and whirling about our heads this week,

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: I was so glad that God spoke to me and

38
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 3: gave me this for us, because it's exactly what.

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: We need for right now. I want you to stand

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: to your feet and remain standing until I've read my scripture.

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: We welcome our EPAM around the world.

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 3: Although it has been an incredibly difficult week in our nation,

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: we understand that in parts of the world there are

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: tragedies that we never mentioned from this pulpit, But we

45
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: want you to know that wherever you come from, whatever

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: you're going through, we are here to bring Jesus into

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: your situation, and we believe that if Jesus comes into

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: your situation, anything is possible. The scripture that I want

49
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 3: to set up this series with is in Lamentations Chapter three,

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: Did you say, uh, oh, Lamentations is not the party

51
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: book of the Bible.

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: The name kind of gives it away.

53
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: And I think that the Lord, in the way that

54
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: he does, has something hidden in this for us today,

55
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: for the questions that we've been asking inside of ourselves,

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: for the isolation.

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: That we've been dealing with and not knowing who to

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: reach out to.

59
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: And the prophet Jeremiah was writing from a difficult time

60
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: in the history of the nation that he lived in

61
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: called Israel. In fact, their temple had been destroyed, many

62
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: of the people had been carried into exile in a

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: place called Babylon by a king called Nebekinezer. He had

64
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: the difficult task of preaching through his own tears into

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: the tragedy of the people. In Lamentations chapter three, we

66
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: received a poetic collection of some of his thoughts after

67
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: he revised those prayers, and I want to share with

68
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: you from verse seventeen, as he writes about his feelings

69
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: from this place. Here's what he says, Lamentations three seventeen.

70
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: I have been deprived of peace. I have forgotten what

71
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: prosperity is. In one translation, he says, I have rejected peace.

72
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: He says, I can't let peace in. I've got so

73
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: much anxiety, so much fear. I can't let it in.

74
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: I have rejected wholeness and peace.

75
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: And in the ESV.

76
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: He says, I have forgotten what happiness is. I've forgotten

77
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: not only how to be happy, but I don't even

78
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: really remember what it feels like. Now, after he says

79
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: that he gives a little bit of his internal monologue,

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: he says, so I say my splendor is gone, and

81
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: all that I had hoped from the Lord. I remember

82
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the goal,

83
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: I well remember them.

84
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: And my soul is downcast within me.

85
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 5: Yet this I call to mine, and therefore I have hope.

86
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 3: Because of the Lord's great love. We are not consumed.

87
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning.

88
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: Great is your faithfulness.

89
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: One more verse, I say to myself, the Lord is

90
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: my portion.

91
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: God says, somebody needs to change what you say to yourself.

92
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: You need to change what you say to yourself. Somebody shout,

93
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: the Lord is my portion. Therefore I will wait for

94
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: him now. The word God gave me for us over

95
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: this season of our church, he said, to talk to

96
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: you about same lies, new loops, Same lies, new loops.

97
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: His mercies are new every morning, so are the devil's temptations.

98
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Same lies, new loops.

99
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: Father helped me give it to them, just like you

100
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: gave it to me. Don't water it down, don't weaken

101
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: it with my opinion, but preach it like your word.

102
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: Help me do that.

103
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: I give you glory in Jesus' name. Amen, you may

104
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: be seated. I have been waiting to worship with you.

105
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: I can tell when a sermon really gets a hold

106
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: of me because I start just drawing stuff and scribbling

107
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: stuff everywhere. Whenever I start pulling out napkins and restaurants

108
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: and as skin, the server, would you please bring me

109
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: a napkin and a pen. The napkin they understand, but

110
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: the pen they look at you kind of funny. And

111
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: I've been writing all over the house, Same lies, new loops.

112
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Let me draw it for you.

113
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: I even practiced my drawing, so cheer for me when

114
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: I do this, because I'm insecure about it.

115
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: Same lies, new loops.

116
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: I've been praying for years and the Lord still hasn't

117
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: healed my handwriting. So we're dealing with it.

118
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: Same lives.

119
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: You might say, same lies, new loops, thank you, thank you, appreciate.

120
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Like an infinity symbol. You know, yeah, same lies. Now.

121
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: Holly is hosting Reflect on Friday, September the nineteenth. It's

122
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: going to be an amazing time. Holly is an amazing preacher.

123
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: She's an amazing teacher of the Word of God. You

124
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: better be here.

125
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: It's going to be amazing.

126
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: She's an amazing wife, even better wife than she is

127
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: a teacher of the Word of God. She's so good

128
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: at so many things. She's my favorite cook. It's a

129
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: great kisser, she's a great affirmer. She's a great mother,

130
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: she's a great encourager. All of these things are true.

131
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: There is one thing that she is not though. She

132
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: is a horrible liar. Holly is a horrible liar. She

133
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 3: is the worst liar. Therefore, you have to be very

134
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: careful what you ask her about, because if I show

135
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: Holly one of my songs that I just wrote and

136
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: ask her how do you like it? I better really

137
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: want to know because she is a terrible lie I mean,

138
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: horrible liar. You know, how do you like it? And

139
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: you know should do this thing? She'll go, what is it?

140
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Finished thought it was maybe not.

141
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: She's just supposed to say, yeah, maybe that. I think

142
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: that could be the next gyro. I think that could

143
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: be the next grade. Just just lie to me long

144
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: enough to give me the confidence to put it out.

145
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: There in the world.

146
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: No, she's a horrible liar, even when she tries to

147
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: be polite, she's a horrible liar. You know, should I

148
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: wear this? Does this look good? And you can always

149
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: see it in her eyebrows. You can always see the

150
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: lie in her eyebrows because she's gonna look at you

151
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: so so distinctively before she tells you yeah, it looks

152
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: great that you're not gonna believe it because she's a

153
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: horrible liar. There's a game that our kids showed us

154
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: called out of the Loop, and I think that's what

155
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: it's called Out of the Loop. And the way the

156
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: game works, you have to be a good liar to

157
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: win it, and you pass the phone around the table, right,

158
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: and everybody gets a category like animal, and then within

159
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: the category there is a.

160
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Certain animal we say, like hippopotamus.

161
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 3: And then one person doesn't get to see what the

162
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: animal is, but they have to pretend like they know

163
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: what it is. And then you go around the circle

164
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: and ask questions and say this is it that could

165
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: you have this animal as a pet? And then the

166
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: person who doesn't know what the animal is they have

167
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: to pretend like they do so nobody will know that

168
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 3: they were out of the loop and didn't know it's

169
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: a hippopotamus. And so when we play this game with Holly,

170
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: it's the moment that we ask her can we have

171
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: it as a pet?

172
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: And she'll go, well, and everybody will go it's mom.

173
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Mom's out of the loop.

174
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: She's such a bad liar. And I'm glad she's a

175
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: bad liar. I'm glad for that. I don't want her

176
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: to get any better at lying. But there's a problem.

177
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: When you're not that good at inventing lies, sometimes you're

178
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: not that good at identifying lies either, and so sometimes

179
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: it's hard for you, if you have a hard time

180
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: telling a lie, to tell when someone is lying to you.

181
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: And the problem with this is that I think she

182
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: needs to become a better liar. I don't want anybody

183
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: in this room to become a better liar. That'd be

184
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: a horrible thing to want for your church. But I

185
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: do want you to become better at identifying the lies

186
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: that the enemy has been telling you all your life

187
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 3: that have kept you lost in a loop of his lies.

188
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,359
Speaker 1: The truth of the matter.

189
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: Is, ladies and gentlemen, that God is the creator. He

190
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: summoned light, said let it be, and light was. If

191
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: he called light darkness, it would change and turn out.

192
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: God cannot lie.

193
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: If God said that blue shirt was read, you would

194
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: watch a transformation and it would be washed in the

195
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 3: blood real quick. God cannot tell a lie. It is

196
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: impossible for him to lie. He is not a man

197
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: that he should lie, nor the son of men that

198
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: he should repent. As impossible as it is for God

199
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: to lie, it is impossible for the devil to tell

200
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: the truth. Because Jesus said in John chapter eight that

201
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: when he speaks, he speaks his native language. He's a

202
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: liar from the beginning. He's been lying a long time.

203
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: He was lying before you got here. He was lying

204
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: over your life when you.

205
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: Were just a little baby.

206
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 3: He has been planting lies in your mind before you

207
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: had a conscious thought. He has been lying to you

208
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: a long time, and it is difficult for you to

209
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 3: identify those lies, because rather than tell a whole bunch

210
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: of different lies, I have noticed that the enemy just

211
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: hammers the same lies over and over again. Why because

212
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: the enemy is not creative God is. He has no

213
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: light to create, no stars to breathe forth, no sun

214
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: to put in its place, no waters to cost to

215
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: recede and bring forth fish in the sea.

216
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: And he is not.

217
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: Creative by nature. He is created and fallen. He is fallen.

218
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: He's fallen. And because he's not created, he cannot be creative.

219
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: And so since he can't make anything, he has to

220
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: make something up. But since he's not creative, he has

221
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: to be consistent.

222
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: The devil is not very creative.

223
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: If you look at your life, he says the same

224
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: things to you over and over again.

225
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: He's not creative, but he's consistent.

226
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: He'll tell you the same thing over and over again

227
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: until you can't tell the difference between his voice and

228
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: your thoughts. And that's what makes it so diabolical. The

229
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: lies come in disguise. If he said it with.

230
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: A big, big voice up here, like.

231
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: Holly, Oh, your song is great, I would know he

232
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: was lying because his voice changed. But did you ever

233
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 3: notice that the devil's voice doesn't change when he starts lying?

234
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: In your mind?

235
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: It sounds just like your own thoughts. And because you

236
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: are an honest person, you have a very difficult time

237
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: identifying the.

238
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: Lies that he tells you.

239
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: But if you can ever find the lie that he

240
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: is telling you, you can flow in the truth that

241
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: God has given you. And if you can ever find

242
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: the lie he's telling you, you can begin to fill

243
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: yourself with what God has spoken and receive the peace

244
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: that is your birthright and inheritance as a child of God.

245
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: And you can get your happy back, and you can

246
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: get your home back, and you can get your heart back,

247
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: because the devil has hijacked your mind your heart with

248
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: lies long enough. And the reason that I know that

249
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: it's him is he is not created. He only has

250
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: two lies that he tells over and over again. And

251
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: the prophet Jeremiah is believing both of those lies and

252
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: lamentations chapter three, and he's going to a very deep

253
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: dark place. See, there are really only two things the

254
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: devil ever tells you, And you might want to write

255
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: this down. So the next time he slithers up to you,

256
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: that ancient snake. The next time he slithers up to you,

257
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: he's under your feet. The next time he starts speaking

258
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: to you. The next time he starts suggesting to you,

259
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: the next time he starts tempting you, the next time

260
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: he starts to make you move your feet off the

261
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: solid rock of Jesus Christ and the Word.

262
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: Of God, you can find the lie. There are really

263
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: only two.

264
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: One is it's not enough, and the second is you're

265
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: not loved.

266
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: Every lie you've.

267
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: Ever believed from the enemy, and every pit of self

268
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: pity you've ever dug for yourself, and every relationship you've

269
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: ever reached to that wasn't good for you but it

270
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: felt good to you was because of one of these

271
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: two lies that the enemy told you so consistently and

272
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: so convincingly. He told you it's not enough and you're

273
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: not loved.

274
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: Am I right about it? Now? I prayed on my

275
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: knees this week. I said, I'm not going to get

276
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: up in front of my church and tell them there's

277
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: only two lies and just say a bunch of stuff.

278
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: You got to show me, Lord, what are the two

279
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: things or three things or four things? He said, there's

280
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: really only two. There's really only two things. From the

281
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: time that your mind is conscious in choosing, the enemy

282
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: is whispering to.

283
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: You it's not enough, and you're not loved.

284
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: So I began to search the Bible to see if

285
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: that was correct, because I don't trust my impressions.

286
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: The devil is a liar.

287
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: And I went all the way back to the Book

288
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: of Genesis and all the way forward to the Book

289
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: of Revelation, and I found out that the snake only

290
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: says one thing.

291
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: Did God really say? Did God really.

292
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: Say that's why he's a snake? He's shaped like that

293
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: question mark? Did God really say to get you to

294
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 3: question what God clearly said, to get you to step

295
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 3: outside of how God identified you. He's a liar. And

296
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: so they tell you it's not enough. They tell you

297
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: that it's not enough for you to just believe in Jesus.

298
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: You got to have a whole bunch of other beliefs.

299
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 3: You got to have a whole bunch of other dependencies.

300
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: It's not enough just to call on the name of

301
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: Jesus and be saved. You got to work your way

302
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: to God. Try to get you so trampled down with shame.

303
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: And the devil is so so good at lying. He's

304
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: nothing like Holly. Let me say that for the record,

305
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: the devil is nothing like my wife. He's so good

306
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 3: at lying that he'll do it like this. When you're

307
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: tempted to sin, he'll say it's no big deal. He'll

308
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: get you to believe that the power of God to

309
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: resist temptation is not enough. Then, when you sin and

310
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: you need to come to God and confess your sin

311
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 3: so he can cleanse you from you and purify you

312
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: from all unrighteousness.

313
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: He'll try to tell you it's not enough.

314
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 3: He'll try to get you to think that the blood

315
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: of Jesus is not enough, that the grace of God

316
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: is not enough.

317
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: So, before you.

318
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: Sin, he'll try to get you to think that the

319
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: power of God inside of you is not enough to

320
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: keep you from sin. After you sin, he'll try to

321
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: get you to think that the price that Jesus paid

322
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: for your sin is not enough to take that sin

323
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: off of you, to teach you to roll your shame away,

324
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: to bring you into a new beginning, to.

325
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: Give you new mercies. With every sunrise, and every.

326
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: Day the sun comes up, you're waking up in not enough,

327
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: because the devil is very effective through repetition.

328
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: It's not enough. Think about everything you have to do today.

329
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: You start thinking this before the covers come off in

330
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: the morning I know you do. It's not enough time

331
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 3: to get it all done. It's not enough money to

332
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: pay every bill, it's not enough sleep that I got

333
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: last night.

334
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: It's not enough.

335
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: People that I want to see it to make me

336
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 3: want to throw these covers off and get out of

337
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: these comfortable pajamas with the footies on them, and put

338
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: my uncomfortable shoes on and stand up for eight hours

339
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 3: all day because when I get home after eight hours

340
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: at work, there's not going to be enough of me

341
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: to go around for all these people.

342
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: And since it's not enough, I'm not loved.

343
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: Because if I don't show up enough, then everybody in

344
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 3: my life feels like a demand and nothing feels like

345
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 3: a supply. So now the enemy has got me in

346
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: an infinite loop of scarcity.

347
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: Because it's not enough, and you are not loved.

348
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: And now he's got you thinking that you are what

349
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: you do, and so if what you do isn't enough,

350
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: then you are not enough. Never mind that Christ is enough,

351
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: never mind that he wouldn't have created you, planned you,

352
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: brought you into this moment in your life, spoken you

353
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: into the earth at this time, put you in that family, yes,

354
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: that family, the weird family, the dysfunctional family. Every family

355
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: is dysfunctional. Stop lying to yourself saying it. If my

356
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: family wasn't dysfunctional, I wouldn't be If your family wasn't dysfunctional,

357
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 3: you would be an angel. That's the only non dysfunctional

358
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 3: family that God ever made. They're called angels. They live

359
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: in heaven. We live on earth. It's called hell. Get

360
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 3: used to it. Bring Heaven to earth and get on

361
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 3: with it. The family of God is dysfunctional, but we

362
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: are here.

363
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Do not be deceived.

364
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: So I was scribbling this down on the napkin, and

365
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: I was thinking, same lies, new loops.

366
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: And what I want you to do.

367
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: Is pull back up Jeremiah the prophet in Lamentations chapter three,

368
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: And I want you to go all the way from

369
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: verse eighteen.

370
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: To verse twenty one. And this is what we're working

371
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: on in our lesson today.

372
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: Somebody say, same lies, new loops. Now, if a person

373
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: lied to you as much as the devil does, how

374
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: many times would you keep letting them in front door?

375
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 3: If every time they came through they stole something, If

376
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: every time they came through they tracked mud all over

377
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: your beige carpet, how many times would it take, and

378
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: yet we go through the same lies over and over again.

379
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: Don't feel bad about it, Jeremiah did. And I am

380
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: looking for lamentations.

381
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 6: On the screen. There we go. Oh, I was stollen.

382
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 6: I was stollen bad just now. But look at this

383
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 6: in verse eighteen. I want you to circle this, he said.

384
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: So I say, my splendor is gone, or my glory

385
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: is gone, or it feels like God is gone, or

386
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: it feels like my imagination is gone, or my happy

387
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: is on hiatus and I can't find it.

388
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: I forgot what it is to be happy, he said.

389
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 3: So I say my splendor is gone and all that

390
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: I had hoped from the Lord. Now I want you

391
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: to circle those three words I had hoped. I had

392
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 3: hoped put it in the comments. Please, if you're watching online,

393
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: I had hoped. I remember my affliction and my wandering,

394
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 3: the bitterness and the gall I well remember them. And

395
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: my soul is downcast within me. And this is the

396
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: verse we felt so excited about when we read it,

397
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: because it gives us a new loop.

398
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: I'll explain in a moment.

399
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 3: Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope,

400
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: and I want you to circle those three words. Now,

401
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 3: I have hope, And the question is, Jonathan, how do

402
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 3: we get from here where hope is in the past tense?

403
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: I had hoped to hear where I got it back?

404
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: I am preaching better than your saying, Amen, that's the truth?

405
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: How do I get from I had hoped.

406
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 7: To I have?

407
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: It's not as easy of a journey as.

408
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: You may think, because by the time you've been going

409
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: around the same lies over and over again in your mind,

410
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: and you've been looping. I've been teaching a lot on

411
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: looping in church, and it's the number one thing that

412
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 3: I've been having people send me text about. They said,

413
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: it was so helpful. How you explained to us that

414
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: sometimes we don't get in the loop of the Word

415
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: of God, and because we don't continually meditate on it,

416
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: we just consume it, and then we go out into

417
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: the world and we get consumed.

418
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: We get consumed and we get in a different loop.

419
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: Now, the problem with the things that Jeremiah was saying

420
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: in Lamentations chapter three is that none of them were

421
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: outright lies. On the surface, they all sounded true. The

422
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: temple had been destroyed, that was true. Many of his

423
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 3: friends family had been taken away. That was true, it

424
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: would never be the same again.

425
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: That was true. And there may be some things.

426
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 3: That are true of you today, but just because they're

427
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: true of you does not mean that you have to

428
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 3: be trapped in them for the rest of your life.

429
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: This is where it's difficult, man, because the devil would

430
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: talk to you so good.

431
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: He's such a good liar.

432
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: He'd be talking about hippopotamus and trying to describe a hippopotamus,

433
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: you know, and he's not like Holly.

434
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: He's a good liar. So he'll start talking to you

435
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: and he'll say, you know what, you have been afflicted.

436
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: You are lost. There have been a lot of people

437
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 3: who have left your life. There is a lot of

438
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 3: evil in the world. You ought to be scared to

439
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 3: go out in public. Everybody is crazy. Everybody is against

440
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: each other. Everybody is fighting against one another.

441
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: And part of that is true. But you have got

442
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: to be very.

443
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 3: Careful what you say to yourself as you go through

444
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: what we all go through. Because when he said I

445
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: am afflicted, when he said my splendor is when he

446
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: said verse nineteen, please on the lower thirds, I remember

447
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: my affliction and my wandering, and the bitterness and the

448
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 3: gall We begin to understand that you cannot be full

449
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: of bitterness if you expect to be filled with peace.

450
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: Let me teach you for a moment.

451
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: If I am filled with bitterness, I am going to

452
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: be empty of peace. Verse seventeen. He says, I have

453
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: been deprived of peace. But it's not exactly that somebody

454
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: took your piece away. Sometimes it's that you rejected it.

455
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes you reject the peace that God wants to give

456
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: you about the situation because you believe the lie that

457
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: the devil told you about the situation. And God really

458
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: wants to give you a peace, but you push the

459
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 3: peace away how by going around the same loop, the

460
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: same loop. Many times. For me, I find myself replaying offenses,

461
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: replaying movies in my mind that I didn't even like

462
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: the first time I saw him. Why would you buy

463
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 3: a ticket back to the movie when you hate it

464
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 3: the first time.

465
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: But Jeremiah is in a desperate place.

466
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: Understand Not a flat tire, not a failed class, not

467
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: a drop college offer, not a little ache in his

468
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: pinky toe. He has lost everything I had hope, I

469
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: don't have hope. And he goes around and around, and

470
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you what he's doing in this situation.

471
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: I've done it before myself.

472
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: He is.

473
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 3: Circling his hurt. How you been circling your hurt? How

474
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: you been going around and around it and around it

475
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: and around it. Now, God left this book in the

476
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 3: Bible for a reason. I'm glad that God didn't edit

477
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 3: it out, because then I would feel like that being

478
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: an overcomer in Christ means that I feel no pain.

479
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 3: I would think that being afraid was a lack of

480
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 3: faith if he didn't leave it all in.

481
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: He said, I've been afflicted.

482
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: I've wandered, I've tasted bitterness and gaud I am so

483
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 3: filled with it that I even began to wonder, not

484
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: only am I not enough?

485
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: But is God enough?

486
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 3: The devil won't tell you God isn't enough. You know

487
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: too many Bible verses for him to do that. He'll

488
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 3: start to tell him that He's not enough.

489
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: For you.

490
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 3: And your situation, and how it's different with you, and

491
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: you start circling how bad. It hurts, and it hurts,

492
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 3: and it hurts, and it did hurt. It hurt for

493
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: Jeremiah to lose everyone he loved. It hurt for them

494
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: to walk out on you. It hurt for them to

495
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 3: say that about you. It hurt for them to criticize you.

496
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: It hurt in your body when you were diagnosed with

497
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: the illness and then you found out.

498
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: It was worse than you thought. It hurt, and it hurt,

499
00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: and it hurt.

500
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: And if I were the devil, I would keep you

501
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 3: circling your hurt, because as long as you remember it

502
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: more than you recognize God in it, he can keep

503
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: you going around and around and around and around and

504
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: around and around and never get to verse twenty one. Now,

505
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 3: what happens in verse twenty one of Lamentations.

506
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: Chapter three is very powerful. I wrote down in my notes.

507
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: When you say this point, walk down and make sure

508
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 3: they're paying attention.

509
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'll do right now.

510
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: You would expect that with Jeremiah, who is a prophet

511
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: for God.

512
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: What is Jeremiah not a bullfrog?

513
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 8: He is a.

514
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: For the old timers. I know you don't know about it.

515
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: You don't need to know about it.

516
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: It's the same stuff as the same stuff as you

517
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: works every time. He's a prophet for God, which means

518
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: he speaks for God to people. So you will think

519
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: at this moment and you are understandably wrong that God

520
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: is going to speak to him because he speaks for God.

521
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: But what blew my mind?

522
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: And I don't mean mind blow emoji, I mean cold

523
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: chills up and down my body while I was praying

524
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: about some of the hurts that I keep circling in

525
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: my life, some of the abandonment that I keep reliving

526
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: in my heart, some of the trauma, if I can

527
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: use an overused word, that enters my body during high

528
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 3: stress times. And I don't know what to do because

529
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: I am expecting for God to.

530
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Speak to Jeremiah. But in Lamentations three, God doesn't speak

531
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: Jeremiah does. That changed my life because I'm expecting him

532
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: to say, my hope is gone. God is gone. And

533
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm expecting God to stand up and say, no, I'm

534
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: not Jeremiah.

535
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 4: I am here, and I am here.

536
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: But God don't say a word Jeremiah does.

537
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: And when Jeremiah speaks, God comes. God is waiting for

538
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: you to change what you say, and you are going

539
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: to see what he spoke. When you change what you

540
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: say Shot three people tell him change what you say,

541
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: and if you change what you say, you'll change what

542
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: you see and God will walk in the room, and

543
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 3: God will show up in the hospital, and God will

544
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: show up in a broken heart, and God will show

545
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: up at your job, and God will show up in

546
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: your emptiness, and God will show up in your loneliness,

547
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: and God will show up in your doubts. And Jesus

548
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 3: will come into your storm, and Jesus will step into

549
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: your folk, and Jesus will make a.

550
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: Wind in a way.

551
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: Die now when you see.

552
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 4: Come on, call him right now.

553
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 9: Somebody say, Jesus, I need to right now, not five

554
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 9: years from now. I don't have five years for therapy.

555
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 9: I need to right now.

556
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: I need to right now, Jesus.

557
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: So please believe me when I say that. I know

558
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: it hurts, but you have to make a decision, don't you.

559
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: Am I gonna keep circling my hurt or am I

560
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: going to summon my help?

561
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: Oh God?

562
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 4: Because when you call Jesus, help is on the way.

563
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: Because when you say come Lord, because when you say

564
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: I'm MP and I need to be filled, Jesus shows up.

565
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: Yes I have hurt. That's an old story. Yes I

566
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: have hurt.

567
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: It's human.

568
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 3: Yes, some people suck, they're human, but some don't. And

569
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 3: God said to remind you that The longer you circle

570
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: your hurt, the less you can summon your help.

571
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: Let me draw you this.

572
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 3: I just pictured somebody in here today and I was like,

573
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: you've been circling hurt, circling hurt, circling hurt, cir circling hurt.

574
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: But the moment.

575
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 10: Who I've been drawing on that because I'm trying to

576
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 10: fight that devil.

577
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: Get them beat you down.

578
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: And let it know.

579
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 10: Holt that to the hells?

580
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: Where down my hell?

581
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 11: Holler?

582
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 12: Hell?

583
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 10: Now how sid through hell?

584
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: But I got how that hurts a long time.

585
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 13: But I gotta down.

586
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 14: You see that, Jeremiah, tell seven people, I got help,

587
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 14: Tell them the world's a real crazy but I got

588
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 14: hell tell him.

589
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 15: The darkness does his best to try to keep us down,

590
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 15: but we have help. Our God is a very present

591
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 15: health in the time of trouble. The devil is a

592
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 15: very present devil in the time of trouble.

593
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 4: But for every lie the devil speaks, there is a

594
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 4: new loop of the truth of the Word of God

595
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 4: that is flowing to his people.

596
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: And this rock is.

597
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 4: Jesus, He's the word. This rock is Jesus. And the

598
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: wind came and the storms.

599
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 10: Blew from my house did not fall because it was hell.

600
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 10: I have Hell.

601
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: I'm not enough, but I have help. They don't love me,

602
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: but he does not but I have help. They don't

603
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: love me, but he does. Same lives say all you want, Devil,

604
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: keep on talking, Devil, wear your voice out, Devil, get

605
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 3: Laryngiti's Devil stuck to me in the night. Devil, tell

606
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: me you're gonna kill me. Devil, tell me not to

607
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: preach this devil And I.

608
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 10: Just opened my mouth and help ten.

609
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 3: People on the left side of the turf. Who am

610
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 3: I preaching to? Who am I help? Is?

611
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 16: Go?

612
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 10: Lord send me to remind.

613
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 11: You you he Hell, there's more with us then with them.

614
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 10: There's more with us.

615
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: Then with them.

616
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 10: There's more with us then with them.

617
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: There's more with us then with them. There's more with

618
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: us then with them.

619
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: There's more with us then with them.

620
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 4: I got angels all around me.

621
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,479
Speaker 10: I got family all around me, I got Jesus all

622
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 10: around me, I got help, I got hell.

623
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: That's what the prophets said.

624
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: Eliza said, there's more with us then with them.

625
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: Same lives. The Devil's got you surrounded again. But whatever

626
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: is surrounding you, God made a loop surrounding it, same lies.

627
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: H How did the prophet Elijah end up hiding.

628
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: In a cave from a woman named Jezebel.

629
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 12: He forgot he had help, and he sat down on

630
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 12: a broom tree and said, cant me God.

631
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 16: And God wouldn't kill him. God wouldn't kill him because

632
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 16: he had a new loop for him. God wouldn't even

633
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 16: let you die. God wouldn't even let you abandon the faith.

634
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 3: God wouldn't even let you not come to church today.

635
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: You had a bad attitude when you walked in, and

636
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 3: God dragged your bad attitude in with your worship in mouth.

637
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: And now you found out I have hell. But you

638
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: don't know that when you're in the valley.

639
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 3: Bring me that Bible. In One Kings, chapter nineteen, I

640
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: already sat down. I don't feel like getting back up

641
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 3: to get mine. And this was mine before I gave

642
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 3: it to you. Somebody helped me. Come on, help me

643
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: preach all. I'm not up here by myself. I'm not

644
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 3: in this by myself. And the Bible said that Elijah

645
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: in forty days forty nights into the cave.

646
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: And I want to show.

647
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: You the loop that he was in because it might

648
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 3: be very meaningful to you. The Lord came to him,

649
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 3: and the Lord shows off man. When God comes, he

650
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: comes and does all kinds of stuff. See the mountain

651
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: that he's at is Mount Sinai. You remember when God gave.

652
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: The Moses the law to Moses at Mount Sinai, and.

653
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: The earthquake came and like the fire of God and

654
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: the glory of God. So when Elijah goes to hide

655
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 3: in the cave because he called down the fire from heaven.

656
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: But sometimes the thing that makes you powerful on the

657
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 3: mountain can make you crazy in the cave. And he

658
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 3: begins to say this thing to himself over and over

659
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: and over again. I mean it's written two times in

660
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 3: One Kings nineteen. The Bible says that the word of

661
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 3: the Lord came to him when he was in his cave,

662
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 3: and they said, what are you doing.

663
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: Here, Elijah? And he replied, I gotta get up now,

664
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: I gotta draw it.

665
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: I really want you to get this. I really want

666
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: this to help you. I don't want you just to

667
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: hear me. I want to help you. I know that

668
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: the devil has been lying to you. I know he's

669
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: been telling you that there is something incurably wrong with you.

670
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 3: I know he's been telling you that it's your fault

671
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 3: from what happened five years ago, that you can't apologize

672
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 3: for again.

673
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: But you can only move forward. I know what he's saying.

674
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 17: But here is Elijah in the cave, and the Lord

675
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 17: ask him, what are you doing here?

676
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: You're not happy either, he said.

677
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 18: I am the only.

678
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: One lie Sean First Kings nineteen, verse number seventeen.

679
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the right one. Verse eighteen. God say, yet,

680
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose needs have

681
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: not bowed to bail. Elijah said, I'm the only one

682
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: not serving the false God. I'm the only boy.

683
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: He's got that song on a loop too. I'm the

684
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 3: only one. I'm the only one. Say long enough it'll

685
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: feel true. Treat people that way, long enough, it'll become true.

686
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: Now it's not just a lie, it's a loop, and

687
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: it's your life. And you say, I had hoped, but

688
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: I lost it in the loop.

689
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 3: Read the story Saints, First King, Chapter nineteen, verse ten.

690
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: The Lord said, what are you doing here? Elijah? What

691
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: are you doing here? He replied, I've been very zealous

692
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant.

693
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 3: True they did. They did because humans hurt you. They

694
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 3: torn down your altars. True, they did that. They put

695
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 3: your prophets to death with the sword. That's true, they

696
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: did that.

697
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: And I am the only one left lie.

698
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: But the devil had convinced him so much with stuff

699
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 3: that was true that once he got him in the loop,

700
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: it was easy to convince him of what wasn't true.

701
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: And now Elijah is giving this speech to God. How

702
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: are you going to start telling God how God's people

703
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 3: abandon God? How do you think it hurt you more

704
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: than it hurt God. But He's been circling this hurt

705
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 3: for a long time. And when you circle your hurt

706
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: long enough, you don't summon your help. You forget how

707
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: to reach out to who you do have. You forget

708
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 3: to pray, how you know how to pray. You forget

709
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: to be grateful. Don't you You.

710
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: Stop saying those gratitude things in the morning. You stop

711
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: saying them.

712
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: Because he got up on not enough and not loved,

713
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: and that got on the loop.

714
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: Now watch what the Lord does. He is so kind.

715
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 3: Elijah says, now they are trying to kill me too.

716
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: And the Lord said, go out and stand on the

717
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 3: mountain in the presence of.

718
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: The Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.

719
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: Then a great and powerful wind toward the mountains apart

720
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 3: and shattered the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord

721
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: wasn't in the wind, and the wind came, and then

722
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 3: after the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord

723
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 3: was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake came

724
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 3: a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.

725
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 3: The Lord came in all of those ways in Moses's time,

726
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: but he's coming.

727
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: A different way to Elijah.

728
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 3: Can you let God come to you a different way

729
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 3: and not think that he left you. I feel this

730
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 3: thing going deep. If y'all have a lunch appointment, please

731
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 3: feel free to leave. But I'm gonna finish this message

732
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 3: for the hundred people that need to hear it today

733
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: who had been on the loop.

734
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: And after the fire came a gentle whisper. I've done

735
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: a whole.

736
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 12: Messages where I whispered for ten minutes to talk to

737
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 12: you about how when the enemy.

738
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 16: Is lying to you, he's loud because he can't get

739
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 16: to you.

740
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: When God tells the truth to you.

741
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 12: He whispers because he's close.

742
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: That's why the devil's so much louder.

743
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 3: That's why you have to draw near to God to

744
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 3: hear him. And the Bible says, when Elijah heard that

745
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 3: whisper Verse thirteen.

746
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Boy, this font is so small.

747
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: I can't believe I used to preach from this Bible.

748
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his

749
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: face and went out and stood at the mouth of

750
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 3: the cave. And that a crazy phrase. The mouth of

751
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 3: the cave. The cave has been talking, just bouncing around.

752
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 3: You're the only one the mouth. You ever heard, the

753
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 3: mouth of the cave.

754
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: But then comes the voice of the Lord.

755
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 3: I cannot draw God, but I'm making bigger than Elijah.

756
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: I'm making happy. I'm gonna give him a crown. That's

757
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 3: the best I can do. Lord, But that represents you.

758
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: And God says, watch this, God says, watch.

759
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 8: This new loop, I say, I say, And.

760
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 7: The Lord, God of Elijah, brought you here today to

761
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 7: open a new loop over your life, a new way

762
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 7: of thinking, a new way of being, a new way

763
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 7: of handling adversity, a new.

764
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: Way of processing pain.

765
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: It's as small as a whisper, but it can change

766
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: your world.

767
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: It can bring you out of the cycle of thinking.

768
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 3: That put you in this place all alone, that made

769
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 3: you feel shut off and cut off, and forgot your

770
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 3: health and circling your hurt. Jeremiah said it two hundred

771
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 3: and fifty years after Elijah learned it.

772
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 1: He ministered in a different place. But it's the.

773
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 3: Same lesson this I called to my mind. Therefore I

774
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 3: have hope. It is because of the Lord's new loop.

775
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 3: It is because of the Lord's voice. It is because

776
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 3: of the Lord's love. It is because his compassions are infinite.

777
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 3: It's a new loop. It's a loop of his love

778
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 3: that never stops. It means he's got me in his hand,

779
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 3: even when I don't understand it.

780
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: In my mind.

781
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: It means he's got me in his plan, even when

782
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 3: I can't prove.

783
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: It with my math.

784
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 3: It means he's got me in his sovereign will, even

785
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 3: when I rebelled and got off course.

786
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: And the Bible says he asked him a second time, what.

787
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: Are you doing here, Elijah? And Elijah replied verse fourteen,

788
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 3: I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty.

789
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: The Israelites have rejected your covenant and torn down your

790
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 3: altars and put your prophets to death with the sword.

791
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm the only one left. He's still in the loop. Ah,

792
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 3: but give me verse fifteen, where the Lord said to

793
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 3: him new loop. The Lord said to him, new loop,

794
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: go back the way you came. And when you get

795
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: to the desert, I've got somebody in Damascus for you

796
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 3: to anoint. His name is Hazel, and he will take

797
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: care of the international affairs verse sixteen. After you get

798
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 3: done annoying Hazel, go anoint Jehu, son of Nimshi, king

799
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: over Israel.

800
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: He will handle the national affairs. And then, when you.

801
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: Get done annoying those two government leaders, annoying Elisha, son

802
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 3: of Sheifat from Abel Mahola to succeed you as prophet,

803
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 3: Jayhu will put to death any who escaped the sword

804
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 3: of hay y'all, and Elishah will put to deathty who.

805
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: Escaped the sword of Jayhu.

806
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 3: Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel, all whose.

807
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: Knees have not bowed down to bail and whose mouths

808
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: have not kissed him. And verse nineteen is the happiest.

809
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 3: Verse I read you all day, because it says, so Elijah.

810
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: Went from there new loop, new loop.

811
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 3: Not I've been very zealous in the Lord abandon me

812
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 3: and they It isn't about what they did. It's about

813
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 3: what he said. It's not about what they didn't do.

814
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 3: It's about what he still can do. It is not

815
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: about circling your heart. It is about summoning your help.

816
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 13: And if you go all the way to the Book

817
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 13: of Revelation, not revelations, and it's not Walmarts either.

818
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 1: It's just one mark that is wall and it's one

819
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: revelation from.

820
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: John on the Island of Patmos, many revelations. I was

821
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 3: reading how it ended, and I realized something very powerful.

822
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 3: In verse seven, he said that a great war broke

823
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 3: out in heaven and Michael and his angels fought against

824
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 3: the dragon.

825
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: See, we say crazy stuff.

826
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 3: When weird stuff happens in the world, and horrible things

827
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 3: happened in the world, and we're like, it's never been

828
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 3: like this before.

829
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: Is in the first book and the last book of

830
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: the Bible, all of it.

831
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 3: He said, there was a war that broke out in heaven,

832
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 3: and the angels started fighting for God against the dragon,

833
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 3: and the dragon and his angels fought back, but he.

834
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:50,240
Speaker 1: Was not strong enough and they lost their place in heaven.

835
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 3: Well, if y'all shouted over that verse you really like nine,

836
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: and the great dragon was hurled down.

837
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 1: Let me remind you who that.

838
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 3: Dragon is that's fighting against you today, That ancient serpent.

839
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 3: He's been lying a long time, and he's real good

840
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 3: at his job. But God has been creating longer than

841
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 3: he's been lying. And God is better at his job

842
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 3: than the enemy is at his. So I came to

843
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: remind you today the dragon was cast down. So the

844
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 3: next time your soul gets down cast, call to your.

845
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: Mind the victoria that Jesus already won for me.

846
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 19: And verse eleven says, and verse eleven says, and verse

847
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 19: eleven says they triumphed over him.

848
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 4: Find the blood of the lamb and the word.

849
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 10: Ah, there, Simony, if you gotta tempt Simony, stand up, stray,

850
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 10: Let the devil know. Great is his faithfulness, Great is.

851
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 1: His faithfulness.

852
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 20: And morning by morning, I've got new mercies, new loose

853
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 20: sing God, new loose same lies.

854
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: New loops.

855
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 3: We watched the movie A Beautiful Mind, and the man

856
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 3: in the movie always heard voices.

857
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: He always heard voices. He always heard voices.

858
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 3: And he was explaining to somebody after he had recovered

859
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 3: and gotten treatment He was played by Russell Crowe, the

860
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 3: Great John Nash. He was playing this man who suffered

861
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 3: from a terrible condition and he heard voices, and they

862
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 3: asked him at the end of the movie, did the

863
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 3: voices go away? And he said no, but you just

864
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 3: learn not to listen to them. So we will journey

865
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 3: together over these next weeks, not only for your sanity,

866
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 3: but for your sanctification, so you can be set back

867
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 3: apart from God, for God, from the enemy.

868
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: We will labor together.

869
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 3: We will find out how to get from Lamentations three eighteen,

870
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: where the prophet said, man, I just I just kept

871
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 3: going over and over in my mind everything that I've lost.

872
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 3: And while I was going over everything I lost, I

873
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 3: was in a loop. And then in verse twenty one,

874
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 3: he says, yet I call this to my mind. Oh

875
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 3: I didn't even get to preach that to you.

876
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: Good.

877
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 3: You come back next week, right, You come back next week?

878
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 11: Right?

879
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 3: I really need you to tune back in next week,

880
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 3: because this word is going to be a reversal for

881
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 3: some of you, a reversal. This season is going to

882
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 3: be a season of reversal to where everything that the

883
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 3: enemy has been speaking over you is going to give

884
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 3: way to what God says about you. I have so

885
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 3: many napkins around my house with these little loops. Don't

886
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 3: make me waste one. Don't make me waste one the

887
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: week that I might give the napkin that you need.

888
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 3: Don't be sleeping because there are some things that God

889
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 3: wants to show you that are really true. But today

890
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 3: I feel like there's somebody that the Lord brought here

891
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 3: who has never begun this journey of following Jesus. You

892
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 3: never even took the first step to follow him, and

893
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 3: maybe you thought that you weren't enough and he wouldn't

894
00:51:58,320 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 3: love you, and maybe you thought.

895
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: That you didn't need him.

896
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:02,919
Speaker 3: But you have found in the season of your life

897
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 3: that you do need his grace and his strength. So

898
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: right now we have a very special tradition at our

899
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 3: church where we all bow our heads and close our

900
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 3: eyes together. This is for you online too, and at

901
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: every location. The Bible says that it is by grace

902
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 3: you are saved through faith. This is the gift of God,

903
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 3: not of work, so that no one can boast. The

904
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 3: grace of God is enough to save you. All you

905
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 3: have to do is place your faith in him. The

906
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 3: Bible says that if you will confess with your mouth

907
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 3: that Jesus is Lord, and live in your heart that

908
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 3: God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

909
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 3: He'll come get you right now. He's already running your way,

910
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 3: got his arms wide open.

911
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: Just come to it. Just come to it with your

912
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: head bowed and your eyes closed.

913
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 3: Our entire church family is going to pray out loud

914
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 3: for the benefit of those who are coming to God,

915
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 3: or maybe you're coming back to God. This is going

916
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 3: to be a new day, a new beginning for you

917
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 3: right now. If you want to give your life to

918
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 3: Jesus today, you don't have to wait another day.

919
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: You could do it right now.

920
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: Repeat this prayer out loud after me, everybody praying together,

921
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 3: Heavenly Father, Today is my day of salvation.

922
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: I am a sinner in need of a savior. And

923
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: I believe that.

924
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the savior

925
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 3: of the world. And today I make Jesus the Lord

926
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 3: of my life. I believe he died for my sin

927
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 3: and rose again to give me life. I receive this

928
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 3: new life. This is my new beginning. I am a

929
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 3: child of God. If you prayed that, shoot your hand

930
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 3: up on the count of three, one coup three. I

931
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 3: want to celebrate you all over the room, all over

932
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 3: the church.

933
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: God bless you.

934
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 4: We got a bible.

935
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: Come in your way.

936
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 4: This was all worth it if it was just for you.
