There's a place 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 6: at our side back door. When you walk out, you 48 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 6: begin to walk down this little path and you can't 49 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 6: see anything. It's so dark. I don't have any electricity 50 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 6: out there. So I thought these solar lights will be 51 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 6: perfect to place along that path so that we can 52 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 6: see at night. Because I'm always stumbling trying to stay 53 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 6: on the little path, so I took the lights put 54 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 6: them in the ground. It was a beautiful sunny day. 55 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 6: I thought, these lights are gonna power up. It's gonna 56 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 6: be amazing. I can't wait to take a walk tonight 57 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 6: see how my lights are working. So I didn't say 58 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 6: anything to Joel about it, but I said, hey, let's 59 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 6: go take a walk. So we went outside started to 60 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 6: go down that little path. 61 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 4: I wanted to see if. 62 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 6: He noticed my new lights. So as we started walking 63 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 6: down the path, I realized. 64 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 4: My lights weren't working. 65 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 6: I didn't say anything to Joel because I didn't want 66 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 6: him to know that I had put lights there and 67 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 6: my plan had failed. So I just kept walking down 68 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 6: the path. But in my mind, I was so discouraged. 69 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 6: I thought, now, I thought those lights were just gonna 70 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 6: work beautifully. 71 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 4: There's solar lights. 72 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 6: I thought, you know what, Tomorrow, I'm taking those lights 73 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 6: up and I'm marching them straight back to the store, 74 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 6: and I'm gonna tell them they're cute, but they don't work. 75 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 4: They're no good to me if they don't work. 76 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 6: So the next morning, I got off and I took 77 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 6: the lights out, and I started looking at how it was, 78 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 6: and I began to kind of examine it, and I 79 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 6: noticed under the bottom in the corner was this little 80 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 6: bitty tab. 81 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: I thought, I've seen this before. You're supposed to pull 82 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 4: the tab so that. 83 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 6: What is inside the light can be illuminated by the sun. 84 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 6: That's what gives it the power. So I thought, oh wow, okay, 85 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 6: So I went and I pulled all the tabs, put 86 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 6: them back down, thought, tonight is the night God Joel 87 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 6: wanted him to come take a walk with me so 88 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 6: he would notice my lights. And sure enough, they were 89 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 6: shining brightly. They illuminated my path. Now Joel wasn't as 90 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 6: impressed with my lights as I was, but they were 91 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 6: working perfectly once I figured out to pull the tab 92 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 6: so that they could be powered by the sun. 93 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 4: You see, we're very much like those solar lights. We 94 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 4: have to pull our tab that means remove anything in. 95 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 6: Our life that would block us from allowing the sun 96 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 6: to so in to shine on us. You see, we 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 6: have something on the inside of us, and it is 98 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 6: the seed of God. And when we allow his presence 99 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 6: to shine on us, when we do all we can 100 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 6: do to bask in his presence get more of him, 101 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 6: we are also illuminated. See. 102 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: We weren't meant to stumble around in the darkness. We 103 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: weren't meant. 104 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 6: To not know the way to go. God says that 105 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 6: we were meant to shine like stars in the universe. 106 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 6: But we've got to allow the Son to shine in 107 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 6: our life. 108 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: See, just like that tab, we've. 109 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 6: Got to remove anything that's stopping the light from shining 110 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 6: on us. I have a tree in my backyard and 111 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 6: it's about ten inches wide. 112 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: It's a pretty big tree. 113 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 6: But it's so strange because the tree grows at an angle. 114 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 6: And I look at that tree and I think that 115 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 6: is so weird. One day I was out talking to 116 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 6: my yard man and I said, this tree grows so funny. 117 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 6: And he said, well, Victoria, the reason this tree is 118 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 6: growing at an angle is because there are so many 119 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 6: shrubs and other trees around it. Trying to crowd out 120 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 6: its light. This tree is literally struggling to try to 121 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 6: grow towards the light. You see, the tree is doing 122 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 6: its best to survive. It knows that it grows in 123 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 6: the light, so it's struggling to get to the light. 124 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 6: Are some of you today struggling to get through the 125 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 6: light because you've allowed too many things to crowd your life. 126 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 6: Maybe busyness is crowding your life from the light. Maybe 127 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 6: you have some friends that are covering your life and 128 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 6: it's not allowing the light to shine on it because 129 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 6: they don't have the same values that you have. They 130 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 6: don't understand the importance of being in the house of God, 131 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 6: of prayer, of worship. 132 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 4: But you keep going back to those friends because they've 133 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 4: been friends for a long time. 134 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 6: You see that yard man said, if you'll prune away 135 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 6: some of these bushes, if you'll make some room for 136 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 6: the light to come in, this tree will literally quit 137 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 6: struggling and it'll it may it may just straighten up 138 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 6: and go straight up to the sun. 139 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: It may grow properly. 140 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 6: See. I want to encourage us today to prune our lives, 141 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 6: to look at what's stopping us to be fully exposed. 142 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 4: To God to. 143 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 6: Be fully walking in His presence at all times. Sometimes 144 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 6: over commitment, even of good things, can keep us from 145 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 6: the time spent with God. Busyness isn't always good. We 146 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 6: need to prune some of the busyness out of our life. 147 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 6: You know, some people don't even realize this, that unforgiveness 148 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 6: and anger can cover our life from being totally exposed 149 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 6: to the sun. You see, if we allow anger and 150 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 6: bitterness to stay around too long, guess what. The sun 151 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 6: may come up in the morning. If we let the 152 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 6: sun go down on our anger, it stays too long. 153 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 6: The sun may come up in the morning, but it 154 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 6: can't reach us because we've separated ourself through bitterness, through anger, 155 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 6: through unforgiveness. You see, when you can't forgive, God says, 156 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 6: how do you expect me to forgive you? You can't 157 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 6: even see me to allow forgiveness to flow. 158 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 4: You gotta let the sun break forth. 159 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 6: Take those weeds of unforgiveness out of your life. Root 160 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 6: up that anger, don't allow it to stop the flow 161 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 6: of God in your life. Pull the tabs, so to speak, 162 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 6: and say enough is enough. You see, you may be 163 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 6: struggling today. You may be struggling to grow towards the light. 164 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 6: You can make a decision to do what it takes 165 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 6: to straighten up again. You know, there's a scripture in 166 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 6: the Bible said the people of Israel they were so discouraged, 167 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 6: they had so much coming against them. It says that 168 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 6: they were so discouraged they couldn't even believe. They couldn't 169 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 6: even see God in the midst of their challenge because 170 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 6: all they could see was more discouragement. They kept their 171 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 6: eyes on what was wrong instead of looking at what 172 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 6: God could do. You see that discouragement was a cloud 173 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 6: that was blocking the light. They couldn't even lift their 174 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 6: eyes and look through the cloud to see God. 175 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 4: And we have to realize discouragement. 176 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 6: When we face challenges, we can't allow it to get 177 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 6: inside of us. 178 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 4: Discouragement is like a cloud that blocks the light from 179 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: our life. 180 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 6: You see, We've got to let go of discouragement and 181 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 6: let God shine his light on us. Have you ever 182 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 6: realized that maybe it had been raining several days and 183 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 6: you've been in the. 184 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 4: House a lot, or you go to work and you. 185 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 6: Come home at night and it's gloomy and it's rainy, 186 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 6: and it just changes your perspective. You just think, man, 187 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 6: this rain, this has got me down. I don't know 188 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 6: what it does. It just kind of does something to 189 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 6: our psyche. But then the light bursts forth and it's like, 190 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 6: oh my goodness, the sunshine, and you begin to say, 191 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 6: I want to go outside, I want to do something. 192 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 6: I want to get out in the sunshine. It's been 193 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 6: cloudy and rainy for far too long. 194 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 4: You see. God wants his. 195 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 6: Light to burst into your life that very same way. 196 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 6: The things that you are afraid to do, the things 197 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 6: that you are stuck in. He wants that light to 198 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 6: burst in and you to move forward. But you've got 199 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 6: to remove the fear, the discouragement in your life so 200 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 6: that God can burst in with his life and his life. 201 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 6: Can you identify anything that's separating you from letting the 202 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 6: s n shine on you. You know, it's so important 203 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 6: that we spend time by ourselves, with ourselves in God's word, 204 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 6: time alone with God reading his word. 205 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 4: You see. The Bible is a life and powerful The 206 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 4: scripture says it is God breathe words. They're not any words. 207 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 6: They're not like the words in a regular book, a newspaper. 208 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 6: The Bible are God breathe words. And it is so 209 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 6: important that we spend time in the Word. 210 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 4: Now, some people think, well, that's okay. 211 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 5: You know what. 212 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 6: I listen to preteen, I listen to podcasts, and I'll 213 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 6: tell you what, when you spend time in the Word, 214 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 6: it'll make that even richer. 215 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 4: They say, I don't really need the Bible. 216 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 6: I was talking to a guy and he says, I 217 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 6: don't need the Bible. 218 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 4: I got Joel. Sorry, Joel, It's true. I'll keep Joel. 219 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 6: But I was trying to explain to him the reason 220 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 6: he needs to spend time in the Word, because it's 221 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 6: a relationship with God. 222 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 4: You know, sometimes I. 223 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 6: Read some scriptures, especially in the Old Testament, and I 224 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 6: truly don't understand it at the time I'm sitting there. 225 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 6: But you know what I do before I close my Bible, 226 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 6: I say, God, I thank you that your word is 227 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 6: alive and powerful, that it divides anything, whether I understand it. 228 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 4: That you have breathed on these words. So these words 229 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 4: are breathing back on me. 230 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 6: They're causing me to be able to rightly divide my life, 231 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: to make the right choices, the right decisions. Because I've 232 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 6: spent time letting God breathe on me, I can go 233 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 6: out and breathe on my life, to be a to 234 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 6: be a good steward of my life, to help other people. 235 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: You see, it is so important. 236 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 6: The Bible says that the word of God is a 237 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 6: lamp unto our feet. 238 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 4: It is a light and to our path. It will 239 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 4: shine you in the right direction. 240 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 6: Don't think, well, I didn't get anything out of the 241 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 6: word today, because let me tell you, if you'll store 242 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 6: that word up, God'll bring it to life in you. 243 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 6: He'll bring it to life in you. But you got 244 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 6: to take time to sit and be with God. 245 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 4: Ten minutes a day. Start right there. You know. 246 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 6: Sometimes we got to get out of the house. Whatever 247 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 6: it takes, get up ten minutes earlier. When I was 248 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 6: a young girl, I remember me and my friends, we 249 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 6: like to worship the sun. Would we didn't realize, you know, 250 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 6: you're supposed to put sunscreen. 251 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 4: We put oil all over us. 252 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 6: We'd do five minutes on the front and five minutes 253 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 6: on the back, so we would bake evenly. 254 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 4: We let the sun shine on us. Can I tell. 255 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 6: You five on the front and five on the back. 256 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 6: Let God's word bake even in your life. 257 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 4: Let it bake evenly. 258 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 6: Listen, God is a good God. He wants to shine 259 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 6: his light on you. There is nothing that he can't destroy. 260 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 6: There's nothing that he can't get rid of.
