Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.
Speaker 2: I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast.
Speaker 2: I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope
Speaker 2: this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. Hope it
Speaker 2: gives your perspective to see God is moving.
Speaker 3: In your life.
Speaker 1: Enjoy the message.
Speaker 3: I was looking back on the sermons that I preached
Speaker 3: to you this year, just really trying to put in
Speaker 3: context what the Lord has spoken and remember some of
Speaker 3: the things that he shared with us. And it was
Speaker 3: just powerful for me to remember the times that we've
Speaker 3: shared together in his presence.
Speaker 1: I did a series called Cold, I did a series
Speaker 1: called That's What I Thought. I did a series called
Speaker 1: same Lies, New Loops. Thank you.
Speaker 3: I already forgot that one, And yeah, that's what you
Speaker 3: think about that?
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: Indeed, that must mean the Lord wanted to send you
Speaker 3: a score update.
Speaker 1: To let you know that no matter.
Speaker 3: How far down you are in the fourth quarter of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Touch somebody and say I feel a comeback. Come on,
Speaker 1: it's the last quarter of the year. But God can
Speaker 1: do anything. Look at your neighbors, say da da da
Speaker 1: da da da. Sometimes you gotta tell the devil Da
Speaker 1: da da.
Speaker 3: Da Philippians, chapter three, verse ten. Thank you to all
Speaker 3: of our campus pastors who preached so beautifully last week.
Speaker 1: Thank you for leading, thank you for shepherd, and thank you.
Speaker 3: For sharing for the people of God. Making sure you're
Speaker 3: still standing. It's good for your circulation. Philippians, chapter three,
Speaker 3: verse ten. I can't speak for you, but I.
Speaker 1: Want to know Christ. I do.
Speaker 3: I want to know Christ, yes to the power of
Speaker 3: his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him
Speaker 3: in his death, and so somehow love that word. It
Speaker 3: means I'm more focused on the person than the plan.
Speaker 3: I want to know Christ so that somehow, however, he
Speaker 3: chooses to do it. And that's what we're going to
Speaker 3: talk about today, by the way, So somehow I can
Speaker 3: attain to the resurrection from the dead. Now this part
Speaker 3: is important, not that I've already obtained all this.
Speaker 1: Or have already arrived at my goal. Wearn't your neighbor,
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet, Yeah, tell him? I might. I might.
Speaker 1: I might cuss you out leaving the parking.
Speaker 3: Lot today if the Lord doesn't do a work because
Speaker 3: I'm not there yet.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. But as possible.
Speaker 3: If the traffic's real bad, if you drive stupid, all right, focus,
Speaker 3: I should read the whole verse again.
Speaker 1: I messed it up.
Speaker 3: Not that I have already obtained all this or have
Speaker 3: already arrived at my goal. But I press on to
Speaker 3: take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold
Speaker 3: of me. Beautiful brothers and sisters. I do not consider
Speaker 3: myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing
Speaker 3: I do. Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what
Speaker 3: is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win
Speaker 3: the prize for which God has called me heavenward in
Speaker 3: Christ Jesus.
Speaker 1: Give the Lord praise for his word. Now. Exodus chapter
Speaker 1: number thirteen for our Old Testament demonstration.
Speaker 3: Exodus chapter thirteen, verse seventeen says this, when Pharaoh let
Speaker 3: the people go, God did not lead them on the
Speaker 3: road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter, for
Speaker 3: God said, if they face war, they might change their
Speaker 3: minds and return to Egypt.
Speaker 1: So God led the people around by the desert road
Speaker 1: toward the Red Sea.
Speaker 3: The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.
Speaker 1: Now, I want you to sit down in this order.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you are at one of our physical locations today.
Speaker 3: Play along. If you're online, just raise your hand in
Speaker 3: the chat or something like that. If everything went the
Speaker 3: way you planned it this year, and you are exactly
Speaker 3: where you intended to be in every area of your
Speaker 3: life at the end of this year. When you started
Speaker 3: the year, you planned it, and right now.
Speaker 1: You possess it. You may be seated.
Speaker 3: Because we want to look at who to hire to
Speaker 3: be our therapist or our coach or pray for because.
Speaker 1: You're a liar, but everybody else that had a plan
Speaker 1: A and then a plan B.
Speaker 3: I want you to look at your neighbor and tell
Speaker 3: them my title, because I think.
Speaker 1: The whole church is still standing.
Speaker 3: Tell him this must be my plan.
Speaker 1: See. Hey, you may be seated. Plan see.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm calling the message, Chris, this must be
Speaker 3: my plan see, and we'll talk a little bit about
Speaker 3: what that means in just a moment. There was an
Speaker 3: apocalyptic fog in the air as we drove to church today.
Speaker 3: Abby and I were driving into church and I looked
Speaker 3: at her and said, this is kind of freaky.
Speaker 1: She said, I know, but it's kind of cool.
Speaker 3: We were listening to a song that we just recorded
Speaker 3: you don't have it yet, you will soon.
Speaker 1: It's called so be It.
Speaker 3: And as I was saying this to her, the voice
Speaker 3: of the lead vocalist on our song called so be
Speaker 3: It said, like a thief in the night, he'll returned
Speaker 3: for his bride. Even so, Jesus come, Jesus come, split
Speaker 3: the skies.
Speaker 1: So be it God.
Speaker 3: And I looked at Abby and said, wouldn't it be
Speaker 3: wild if while we're listening into that, Jesus just came
Speaker 3: back on. It's like six in the morning. She's rolling
Speaker 3: her eyes at me and stuff. But I looked at her.
Speaker 3: I'm just messing with her. I said, would you be ready?
Speaker 3: And she said, uh, not really, I've got some work
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 1: Just keeping it honest. Like I wouldn't want him to
Speaker 1: come exactly right now.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on in young Abbey's life
Speaker 3: that she needs to repent of.
Speaker 1: Y'all pray for her as well. When the Israelites left Egypt,
Speaker 1: the Bible us.
Speaker 3: As an interesting phrase, and I call your attention to
Speaker 3: it once again as we bring these two amazing, amazing
Speaker 3: scriptures together today. One is located out of four hundred
Speaker 3: years of slavery, where God set his people free, and
Speaker 3: one is located in a prison cell where an apostle
Speaker 3: is being held captive for his obedience to God.
Speaker 1: Let me set this up, Okay.
Speaker 3: The richness of it is the second scripture I read you,
Speaker 3: they're coming out of captivity, and the first sure I
Speaker 3: read you, he is still in captivity. But I think
Speaker 3: there is a thread that will help us evaluate where
Speaker 3: we are, where we wanted to be, the plan we had,
Speaker 3: and what God actually did while we were making our plans,
Speaker 3: which was laugh. The Egyptians had held God's people captive
Speaker 3: to the point that they cried out to God.
Speaker 1: And I want to speak this sermon in three different
Speaker 1: stages today.
Speaker 3: One I want to talk about the crying, the crying,
Speaker 3: and then I want to talk about the crossing, the crossing.
Speaker 1: Why aren't you writing down the points? What if there's
Speaker 1: a pop quiz on this?
Speaker 3: What if the devil tries to beat you up next
Speaker 3: week and you need to go back and refer to this,
Speaker 3: write it down. The crying, the crossing, and then the covering.
Speaker 3: Those three things that I want to talk to you
Speaker 3: about today. They cried out to go Godd, it says
Speaker 3: in Exodus chapter three, verse seven.
Speaker 1: This is not for the screen, but just listen to
Speaker 1: it real quick.
Speaker 3: When the Lord appeared to Moses, he said, I've come
Speaker 3: down because I'm concerned about my people. I have seen
Speaker 3: the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard
Speaker 3: them crying out. I have devices all over my house
Speaker 3: that listen to me. I know they listen to me
Speaker 3: because I talk about a restaurant and it shows up
Speaker 3: on my phone without being typed in. I'm thankful that
Speaker 3: the Lord listens to me as well, and that he
Speaker 3: puts things in my path in response to the prayers
Speaker 3: that I pray. Have you ever noticed that God will
Speaker 3: put something in your path in response to the prayer
Speaker 3: that you prayed.
Speaker 1: God won't always pick you up and carry you where
Speaker 1: you need to go, but he'll put something in your path.
Speaker 1: I believe for somebody right now.
Speaker 3: God put this message in your algorithm because he's putting
Speaker 3: something in your path. You almost tripped over this video,
Speaker 3: didn't you. You didn't even want to see a forty
Speaker 3: five year old middle aged man in a black hoodie
Speaker 3: with a Bible open.
Speaker 1: You were looking for something much more entertaining.
Speaker 3: But God puts something in your path because he knows
Speaker 3: about the things that you're going through, and he wanted
Speaker 3: you to accidentally trip over this video.
Speaker 1: It's not the algorithm. It's the anointing of the.
Speaker 3: God who loves you so much and called you from
Speaker 3: an early age that he would put this message in
Speaker 3: your path at this time.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not an accident.
Speaker 3: Don't switch it off, don't mute it, don't scroll past it,
Speaker 3: don't fast forward till I really start going good. I'm
Speaker 3: going right now to tell you that often God will
Speaker 3: answer your prayer by putting something in your path, and
Speaker 3: we praise him when he does. We praise him when
Speaker 3: he does. We praise him when he does. Now, it's
Speaker 3: not luck. It was the Lord. The Lord put that
Speaker 3: in my path. It wasn't happenstance. It wasn't coincidence. Stop
Speaker 3: blaming coincidence for God's work. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: When you call it coincidence, you diminish the divine.
Speaker 1: It was God that put it in your path.
Speaker 3: God puts things in our path in response to our prayers.
Speaker 3: We are not aware of the things that He puts
Speaker 3: in our path, and answer to our prayers, we will
Speaker 3: trip right over what he put in front of us,
Speaker 3: trying to get to what we think we wanted. I said,
Speaker 3: you can trip right in front of what God put Well,
Speaker 3: I said that wrong. You can trip over what God
Speaker 3: put right in front of you, trying to get where
Speaker 3: you think you need to be, or trying to get
Speaker 3: to what you think you want it. Paul said, I
Speaker 3: want to know Christ. I'm clear about the outcome. I
Speaker 3: want to draw closer to him. If I have to
Speaker 3: suffer to get to know him. I would rather suffer
Speaker 3: and know him than succeed and forget him. I would
Speaker 3: rather go through something hard and have him than to
Speaker 3: be far from him and everybody else think my life
Speaker 3: is wonderful. I would rather have Christ. I would rather
Speaker 3: have him. I don't want to miss him on the
Speaker 3: way to it. And it's so important that you understand
Speaker 3: whatever you're going through in your life that God hears
Speaker 3: your Christ.
Speaker 1: What do we mean when we say that, Well, let
Speaker 1: me break it down for you.
Speaker 3: And I can't exactly explain this to you, but when
Speaker 3: I describe it, the Holy Spirit will.
Speaker 1: Help you to know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: Sometimes God answers your prayer by putting something in your
Speaker 3: path that looks like what you prayed for that happens.
Speaker 3: But today I want to talk with you for a
Speaker 3: little bit about when God sends a problem in answer
Speaker 3: to a prayer. Sometimes God will send a problem in
Speaker 3: answer to a prayer.
Speaker 1: The example that I'm thinking about in my.
Speaker 3: Life right now is too personal to share with you,
Speaker 3: But I just recently prayed about something and then a
Speaker 3: problem arose and I didn't see the connection between the
Speaker 3: two at the time, but the Lord didn't showed me.
Speaker 3: You know, that problem that you are now praying for
Speaker 3: me to remove from your life. That problem that you're
Speaker 3: praying for me to remove, I sent to answer the
Speaker 3: last prayer you prayed.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is clear or not. It's
Speaker 1: like I asked God.
Speaker 3: To do something in my life and then something happened
Speaker 3: that did not resemble what I asked God to do,
Speaker 3: and so I'm like, oh God, I got to get
Speaker 3: rid of this problem, so you can answer this prayer.
Speaker 3: Right I'm praying about this, here comes the problem. I'm like, oh, God,
Speaker 3: take this problem out and answer the prayer. And the
Speaker 3: Lord's like, I just did, but I did it different.
Speaker 3: I did it different, and so now the answer doesn't
Speaker 3: resemble the prayer. So you are too blind to see
Speaker 3: that the thing that you're continuing to pray for me
Speaker 3: to take away is the thing that I sent to
Speaker 3: answer the prayer that you were praying to begin with.
Speaker 3: I know it's not very clear. Let me try to
Speaker 3: make it clear from the Bible. In Exodus chapter thirteen,
Speaker 3: God's people are coming out of Egyptian slavery. God answered
Speaker 3: their prayer. He sent Moses to get them out of slavery.
Speaker 3: But they're not just concerned with coming out of Egypt,
Speaker 3: because where will they go from Egypt.
Speaker 1: I have to have somewhere to live. I have to
Speaker 1: have some type of soil to cultivate.
Speaker 3: I have to have some type of agriculture by which.
Speaker 1: I can partner with the earth so that our babies
Speaker 1: can eat.
Speaker 3: I have to have some kind of formation. I have
Speaker 3: to have some sort of government. And God is always
Speaker 3: taking you out of something, bringing you into something, taking
Speaker 3: you out of something, bringing you into something, taking you
Speaker 3: out of something, and bringing you into something. And the
Speaker 3: Bible says something very powerful in Exodus chapter thirteen, verse seventeen,
Speaker 3: when Pharaoh let the people go. What's interesting about that
Speaker 3: God knew that although Pharaoh had let his people go
Speaker 3: with just ten plagues.
Speaker 1: His people had still not let Pharaoh go.
Speaker 3: In an amazing that it only took God ten plagues.
Speaker 1: I know that's a lot, but it's only ten.
Speaker 3: It only took God ten plagues to get Pharaoh to
Speaker 3: let his people go. Now, Pharaoh didn't let them go quickly.
Speaker 3: The enemy will never let you go quickly, not if
Speaker 3: you're gifted. Why would he Why would he let you
Speaker 3: go quickly? Why would he release his grip on you?
Speaker 3: Why would he allow you to forgive without feeling bitterness?
Speaker 3: Why would he give up your services? Why would he
Speaker 3: let you go easily? He knows what you're capable of,
Speaker 3: if you ever get liberated.
Speaker 1: Why would he let you go?
Speaker 3: Come on, somebody in New York shout, The reason the
Speaker 3: devil is squeezing you is because there's something he sees
Speaker 3: in you that if you ever get free, if you
Speaker 3: ever get loose, if you ever shake this off, if
Speaker 3: you ever.
Speaker 4: Get out of here, if I ever get out of
Speaker 4: this place, if I ever get out of this mindset,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do something for God. Somebody shout, God has
Speaker 4: something for me. God's got something for you.
Speaker 3: That's what the attack means that's what the enemy is
Speaker 3: fighting you over.
Speaker 1: God's got something for you. And isn't it.
Speaker 3: Amazing that although it only took ten plagues for God
Speaker 3: to get Pharaoh to let his people go, it took
Speaker 3: forty years of wilderness wandering for God to get his
Speaker 3: people to let Pharaoh go. Relief is easy. Freedom is
Speaker 3: a process I felt annointed to teach today. Let's don't
Speaker 3: worry about all three points. Let's just talk about crying
Speaker 3: real quick. What if you are crying about something that
Speaker 3: God is using, that God is trying to use.
Speaker 1: What if you are crying.
Speaker 3: About something right now and the Lord is saying, those
Speaker 3: who's so in tears will reap with joy. See you
Speaker 3: think those tears are wasted, They're not wasted their water
Speaker 3: They are watering a harvest that you can't see right now.
Speaker 3: So some of you, God puts something in your life.
Speaker 3: It's a great challenge. It's a terrible situation. It's a
Speaker 3: horrible situation. It's about as bad as being at a
Speaker 3: red sea.
Speaker 1: Look at this scripture. The Bible says God could have
Speaker 1: taken them a short way, but he didn't. And this
Speaker 1: is really the challenge.
Speaker 3: Right when God could but he doesn't look at the
Speaker 3: scripture again. He led the people around by the desert
Speaker 3: road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out
Speaker 3: of Egypt ready for battle.
Speaker 1: So now I'm confused. Work with me.
Speaker 3: If they were ready for battle eighteen, then why in
Speaker 3: verse seventeen say does God say if they face war,
Speaker 3: they might change their minds and return to Egypt. God
Speaker 3: is the only one who really knows when you're ready. Wow.
Speaker 3: God is the only one who really knows what's in you.
Speaker 3: So God is the only one who can fully determine
Speaker 3: what to take you through and win because He's the
Speaker 3: only one who knows what's really in you. There is
Speaker 3: a powerful thing that happens when I begin to decide
Speaker 3: in my life that God has me where he wants me,
Speaker 3: even if it was caused by an attack of the enemy.
Speaker 1: God has me where he wants me.
Speaker 3: Now, what would it look like if, at the end
Speaker 3: of this year, because I'm trying to help you, as
Speaker 3: you reflect and as you expect and as you accept
Speaker 3: and you do all the things that we have to
Speaker 3: do at this time of the year, what would it
Speaker 3: look like for you to have the kind of empathy
Speaker 3: for yourself and trust in God to realize that even
Speaker 3: if it's taking you a little little longer than you
Speaker 3: expected it to take you, watch this. You're still going
Speaker 3: to get there. Tell your neighbor You're still going to
Speaker 3: get there. Maybe that's what we'll call the message when
Speaker 3: we put it online. Because I know you're running a
Speaker 3: little late. I know you got a little bit of
Speaker 3: a limp. I know you're not looking as fresh as
Speaker 3: you were when you started out the journey. I know
Speaker 3: it's not exactly the right time. But you're still gonna
Speaker 3: get there. Tell them again and say it with faith.
Speaker 3: You're still going to get there. You're still gonna get there.
Speaker 3: And it might have some detours along the way, and
Speaker 3: it might have some disappointments along the way, and you
Speaker 3: might not get there with who you thought was going
Speaker 3: to be. Not everybody that started on the road trip
Speaker 3: is going to be in the car when you pull up.
Speaker 3: But you're still going to get there. You understand what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. You might not get through it all unscathed
Speaker 3: and unscarred.
Speaker 1: You might have to show a few of your wound us.
Speaker 3: And your scars along the way to encourage somebody else.
Speaker 3: But You're still going to get there. The tears will
Speaker 3: not stop you. The trials will not stop you. The
Speaker 3: trauma will not stop you. The traffic will.
Speaker 1: Not stop you.
Speaker 3: It will not stop you. Your boss will not stop you.
Speaker 3: The economy will not stop you. The weather will not
Speaker 3: stop you.
Speaker 4: That's why I like a day where the fog is out,
Speaker 4: because there was somebody who got up and saw the
Speaker 4: weather was bad, and Charlotte but said, I still gotta
Speaker 4: get there. And I'm looking for a few rough riders
Speaker 4: in the house today who say, come hell or high water,
Speaker 4: come wind, come rain, come storm, come set back, come difficulty,
Speaker 4: come depression. Now shove your neighbor and testify.
Speaker 1: Say I'm still gonna get there. I'm still gonna get there.
Speaker 3: Don't cancel my reservation. I'm still gonna get there. Don't
Speaker 3: give my ticket away. I'm still gonna get there. Don't
Speaker 3: give away my seat.
Speaker 1: At the table. I'm still gonna get there. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be on the fast bus, but I'm still gonna
Speaker 1: get there.
Speaker 3: I'm not the valedictorian, but I intend to grant away.
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna get there.
Speaker 3: I might not do it like she did it, but
Speaker 3: I'm still.
Speaker 1: Gonna get there.
Speaker 4: I might not have the right shoes on, but I'm
Speaker 4: still gonna get there.
Speaker 1: I might have a story.
Speaker 4: To tell, but I've tell my story how I've overcome.
Speaker 3: High five three people say, just get there, Just get there,
Speaker 3: Just get there, Just get there.
Speaker 4: Wipe your deers and drive, wipe your deers and walk,
Speaker 4: wipe your tears and lift your hands.
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna get there.
Speaker 4: I would have despair had I not.
Speaker 3: Believe that, I would see.
Speaker 1: What shi of the Lord?
Speaker 3: So, Moses, why are we going this way? Can't we
Speaker 3: go the straight way? And see there's a difference between
Speaker 3: the straight way and the right way.
Speaker 1: This is plan A.
Speaker 3: This is plan A, and this is plan B. This
Speaker 3: is plan C.
Speaker 5: Watch me.
Speaker 3: This.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor. This might be your Plan C. Plan
Speaker 1: C is like this.
Speaker 3: Okay, here's where they were Egypt, right, here's where they
Speaker 3: were going Canaan.
Speaker 1: That's plan A. And then plan B is go back.
Speaker 1: That's what B stands for. We're going back to Egypt.
Speaker 1: This is Plan C. Plan C doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Plan C.
Speaker 3: Is wait a minute, we're going around in a circle.
Speaker 1: Why are you taking us this way? Moses?
Speaker 6: Moses must be bad with a map, sometimes the mission
Speaker 6: doesn't look like the map.
Speaker 1: Now this is so true for your life. I need
Speaker 1: you to know that you're still gonna get there. Say it.
Speaker 3: I'm still gonna get there. I'm still gonna get there.
Speaker 3: Graham came to me this weekend. He said, something horrible happened.
Speaker 3: We had the speaker lined up to speak Sunday night
Speaker 3: at the living room and they.
Speaker 6: Can't speak now. And so what do I do? I said, Oh,
Speaker 6: it's time for plan.
Speaker 1: See. Plan see is cry out to the Lord.
Speaker 3: And then cram and then cram the message as fast
Speaker 3: as you can, because this is plan see. I know
Speaker 3: it's nice when you get to prepare Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
Speaker 3: but this is Friday and you got to speak Sunday.
Speaker 1: So this is plan. This is when you thought you
Speaker 1: were going.
Speaker 3: To have a week off, But this is when you
Speaker 3: thought you were going to retire at age sixty two,
Speaker 3: but you got to refire.
Speaker 1: Now this is plan See. I'm preaching to somebody.
Speaker 3: I'm setting somebody free just to see this plan see.
Speaker 3: This is when it could have happened that fast, and
Speaker 3: you wanted to go back, but God won't let you
Speaker 3: go back, but you can't go forward, and God's taken
Speaker 3: you on plan see back in rehab, plan see back
Speaker 3: in recovery.
Speaker 1: Plan see sending the children to their mother's house.
Speaker 3: On the weekends. You didn't plan that getting married. This
Speaker 3: is plan see. This is plan see. I didn't want
Speaker 3: to lose my virginity, but I did.
Speaker 1: And now I'm.
Speaker 3: Asking God, can he help me move past this in
Speaker 3: a new way.
Speaker 1: This is plan see.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't mean that God left you. It just
Speaker 3: means he's leading me differently.
Speaker 1: This is plan.
Speaker 3: Ough. Ough, I feel the testimony's coming back to me
Speaker 3: even as I preach the word, it's just going to
Speaker 3: be one.
Speaker 1: Of those words where the reapers overtake the solers.
Speaker 3: Means, by the time I can even release this word
Speaker 3: into your heart, you are going to see. What God
Speaker 3: is saying to you is that you thought you were
Speaker 3: going here and then you wanted to go back. And
Speaker 3: it's not Plan A, and it's not Plan B. It's
Speaker 3: going to be Plan C. Because there is something that
Speaker 3: God knows about me that he finds it necessary for
Speaker 3: this stage of my life to take me not like
Speaker 3: this and not like this, but like this and I'm
Speaker 3: still gonna get there, but I'm gonna get there in
Speaker 3: a circular route. And I write this down. Not every
Speaker 3: circle is a sin. Not every circle is a sin.
Speaker 3: The Israelites spent forty years in the wilderness because they
Speaker 3: would not believe.
Speaker 1: But before they spent forty years.
Speaker 3: Because of their unbelief, God took them on a two
Speaker 3: week detour because of his mercy. He knew there's something
Speaker 3: I need to do in you. So I'm just trying
Speaker 3: to see will you let go of Plan A and
Speaker 3: will you refuse Plan B so you can see what
Speaker 3: God wants to do in your life.
Speaker 1: I could go home right now, but we can keep
Speaker 1: going if you want to.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the crossing. We talked about the crying.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the crossing. Who should I use for
Speaker 3: this illustration? Volunteer yourself if you if you dare somebody
Speaker 3: that now you don't have to do this. So put
Speaker 3: your hand down and I'm going to ask you this question. Somebody,
Speaker 3: do it if you want to do it, if you
Speaker 3: feel called to do it, if you feel led to
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: You do not have to expose yourself. I wouldn't, but
Speaker 1: just if Christmas is going to be tight for you
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 3: And you want to use as a volunteer, and you
Speaker 3: want me to use here, we're gonna do this.
Speaker 1: You're committee. You don't know what I'm gonna do. So
Speaker 1: whatever I want to do for this illustration, you'll do it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 3: You have to do exactly what I say, nothing more,
Speaker 3: nothing less. You committed to the illustration.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Put your hand out, yeah, open like that.
Speaker 1: Can we see this on.
Speaker 3: The cameras everybody, Let's get our optimal camera angle so
Speaker 3: this illustrate and put them up a litt higher, little higher,
Speaker 3: lit higher, Yeah, right there. Now I prayed about whether
Speaker 3: to do this. You know what I'm about to do.
Speaker 3: Anybody else want to volunteer. I'm gonna just show this
Speaker 3: real quick. It's gonna be very simple. If I give
Speaker 3: you this and it says ten, and you take it and.
Speaker 1: Then you squeeze it, I mean ball it up and
Speaker 1: squeeze it.
Speaker 3: Squeeze the other hand to just to complete the illustration,
Speaker 3: and squeeze it. Squeeze the thumb in there, to the thumb.
Speaker 3: Put the thumb where you can't get to it for
Speaker 3: the sake of the illustration. There we go and she
Speaker 3: squeezes it so tight, squeeze it so tight till it hurts.
Speaker 1: And then I have one of these and I say, okay,
Speaker 1: I would like to give you this too. No no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no no, put the thumb and lamb.
Speaker 3: But what you instinctively did is what you would have
Speaker 3: to do. You would have to release to receive right now,
Speaker 3: ball it up. And this is what we do. This
Speaker 3: is what we do. We get real tight when.
Speaker 1: God gives us something.
Speaker 3: Right, But what if God wants to give you something else?
Speaker 4: You're like, I knew he was a prosperity preacher. It's
Speaker 4: a metaphor, it's an analogy. This is my own personal money.
Speaker 4: I'm giving it away. I'm not asking her for money.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to give her something. But if I'm trying
Speaker 4: to give.
Speaker 3: Her something and her grip on what I just gave
Speaker 3: her is too tight.
Speaker 1: I I can try to give her something. No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: You're creative.
Speaker 1: Don't mess up my illustration. Now you can receive when
Speaker 1: you release, release, ball.
Speaker 3: It up, ball it up, ball it up, till when
Speaker 3: you hand it to somebody, they wonder what has she
Speaker 3: been through?
Speaker 1: What? What happened, ball it up.
Speaker 3: But if you hold it too tight, there may be
Speaker 3: more that God wants to give you, but he can't.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, I hear I heard like this. God said,
Speaker 1: I can't fill your fists. You want one, you want one?
Speaker 1: Come on, do it real quick. I got plenty of
Speaker 1: this as long as you've got open hands on Now.
Speaker 1: It's getting really good, y'all. It's getting better and better
Speaker 1: and better.
Speaker 3: But but if she she wants to hold on to
Speaker 3: what that was, she can't get what this is.
Speaker 1: And this is a but watch what she did because
Speaker 1: she has learned by now.
Speaker 3: That this person standing in front of me is a giver,
Speaker 3: not a taker.
Speaker 4: When you learn that about God, it's just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 3: Because God's like, if you'll open your hands, come on,
Speaker 3: opening all the way up, and keep your hands open,
Speaker 3: and keep your heart open, and keep your mind open.
Speaker 1: And keep your.
Speaker 3: Spirit open, and keep your faith high and keep your hope.
Speaker 3: I will never stop meeting your needs.
Speaker 1: God sees you.
Speaker 3: God sees you season, he sees me, He sees me
Speaker 3: empty handed, he sees me broken hearted, he sees me
Speaker 3: crying at night.
Speaker 1: He sees me, and he holds me. Did you notice
Speaker 1: now listen, you gotta get through this so I can
Speaker 1: appreciate this next point.
Speaker 3: Did you notice that Paul said, I'm striving to take
Speaker 3: hold of that.
Speaker 1: For which Jesus already took hold of me. That means
Speaker 1: that I don't have to grab it because God grabed me. Man,
Speaker 1: y'all give her a hand. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3: Everybody, hugger quick, everybody in that section. I'm gonna give
Speaker 3: her a hug too. Hey, thank you for helping me preach.
Speaker 3: Thank you for helping.
Speaker 1: Me show that the secret in this season of your life. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's not this, that's this. Is this.
Speaker 3: Because you raised your hand, God filled it.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love the Lord. He heard my crawl.
Speaker 1: He pitied every girl.
Speaker 3: And not only did he lead them through the desert,
Speaker 3: but he led them through the water. That's the crossing,
Speaker 3: the crossing. Why is God taking me through this? Why
Speaker 3: is God letting it be like this? Why is God
Speaker 3: allowing this season in my life? It's the crossing. It's
Speaker 3: the crossing because God knew they were too weak for war,
Speaker 3: so he led them to water. He knew they were
Speaker 3: too weak for war, so he led them to water.
Speaker 3: God knew that even though Pharaoh had temporarily let them go.
Speaker 1: He was coming back to get them.
Speaker 3: For the Bible says that no sooner had they got
Speaker 3: to that place at the Red Sea, than the chariots
Speaker 3: of Pharaoh begin to click clack behind them. And as
Speaker 3: those chariots begin to make their sound and the engines
Speaker 3: of the enemy began to rev the Bible says in
Speaker 3: Exodus fourteen fifteen that they cried.
Speaker 1: Out to the.
Speaker 4: Lord and to Moses, why did you bring us out
Speaker 4: here to die?
Speaker 1: No, we're going across this water.
Speaker 3: We're going across this water because what is against you
Speaker 3: is more than what's with you. And if you fight
Speaker 3: this enemy hand to hand, you will die. But God
Speaker 3: knew something very strategic. Now watch this.
Speaker 1: This is another reason that I love God is.
Speaker 3: Because for God, this is the strategic route, even if
Speaker 3: it's not the short route. And so they're standing in
Speaker 3: a red sea, and this is where it all comes together.
Speaker 1: For me. The red Sea is a problem.
Speaker 3: But they are praying a prayer, so God leads them
Speaker 3: to a problem in answer to a prayer.
Speaker 1: Is this the best sermon?
Speaker 4: I ap precaw year or am I just capfeinated?
Speaker 1: So I be like God? Take me around this. What
Speaker 1: am I gonna do with a sea?
Speaker 3: And God says, oh, you'll see.
Speaker 4: Because I didn't bring you out here because I'm done
Speaker 4: with you. I brought you out here to deal with
Speaker 4: your enemies and.
Speaker 1: To drown them in this. See.
Speaker 4: This is my plan.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 3: And the Egyptians you see today, you will see them
Speaker 3: no more.
Speaker 1: But you got to let go now, You've got to.
Speaker 3: Let go of what you were holding on to. Paul said,
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 4: Forget about Paul forgetting what is behind me and reaching
Speaker 4: toward what's ahead. I press toward the mark for the
Speaker 4: prize of the High Calling of God. In Christ, Jesus
Speaker 4: and Paul wrote about the prize from a prison, which
Speaker 4: goes to show me God's got me right where.
Speaker 1: He and I'm still gonna get there. Well, y'all used
Speaker 1: up all your shout, or you will be shouting about.
Speaker 4: This red sea in front of you. You would be
Speaker 4: shouting about your problem.
Speaker 3: If you knew the nature of your God, it's that
Speaker 3: he leads us to impossible situations. He leads us to
Speaker 3: the deep end so that we might learn to depend
Speaker 3: on him.
Speaker 4: He leads us to the water because he knows we're
Speaker 4: not ready for war. So God sees what you're fighting against.
Speaker 4: God sees what you're up against. God sees you're outnumbered
Speaker 4: for it. God sees you're too young to do it.
Speaker 4: God sees you're too old to carry it.
Speaker 1: God sees you're too small to do it. God sees
Speaker 1: you're not smart enough to know it.
Speaker 3: And he says, I have a seed to deal with that,
Speaker 3: if you will move forward in faith. The presence of
Speaker 3: the Lord is in this place. The presence of the
Speaker 3: Lord is in this place. The spirit of God is
Speaker 3: in this place.
Speaker 1: And it's the most amazing thing.
Speaker 3: Man. If you never read the story, the Bible says
Speaker 3: that they crossed through on dry ground and their enemies didn't.
Speaker 3: There's going to be some things you look back on
Speaker 3: at the end of this year that tried to kill you.
Speaker 3: But what you didn't understand about what you were going
Speaker 3: through in your situation.
Speaker 1: That wasn't your Plan A, and it wasn't Plan B.
Speaker 1: It was Plan See, it was a crossing.
Speaker 3: After all, none of the disciples signed up to follow
Speaker 3: Jesus to death.
Speaker 1: Wow, none of them signed up for a cross Well
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 3: He said, if there's any other way, Plan B, take
Speaker 3: this cup from me, but he went to the cross
Speaker 3: and he died.
Speaker 1: Why it was his plan?
Speaker 3: See, Paul said, I want to know Christ.
Speaker 1: That's my plan.
Speaker 3: See hey, all of y'all that are praying about stuff,
Speaker 3: you can't control time to go to plans.
Speaker 1: See God, I can't control this. You can. I want
Speaker 1: to know you. I want to know you. I want
Speaker 1: to know you more than I want to get her number.
Speaker 1: I want to know you more than I want them
Speaker 1: to follow me back. I want to know you more
Speaker 1: than I want to like on this close. I want
Speaker 1: to know you. What good is knowing what college to
Speaker 1: go to? If you don't take Christ with you when
Speaker 1: you get there. I want to know you. God brought
Speaker 1: you to this water. Devil can't drown you in a
Speaker 1: crossing that God brought you to.
Speaker 4: Paul said, even if I have to suffer, even if
Speaker 4: I have to stay in this cell, this is not.
Speaker 1: Where I'm meant to be.
Speaker 3: And one thing the text shows us is that whether
Speaker 3: you are in captivity or whether you're headed toward freedom, God.
Speaker 1: Is with you on this plan. See somebody, stop planning.
Speaker 3: See just all over your life this year, things you
Speaker 3: don't understand.
Speaker 1: Just boom boom, don't. God's not done.
Speaker 3: It's a plan c when when he does his see
Speaker 3: with your see is going to all come full circle
Speaker 3: and you are going to understand the goodness of God
Speaker 3: at a level that you.
Speaker 1: Have never known before.
Speaker 3: Right, just crying, and there's crossing, and there's covering, there's covering.
Speaker 3: Stand up, I'm done. As they went through the sea,
Speaker 3: the Bible says that Moses had one job to do,
Speaker 3: and if he did this job, God would handle every
Speaker 3: part of the battle that he could not handle.
Speaker 1: And it's pretty simple, but it's kind of hard to
Speaker 1: do sometimes.
Speaker 3: In Exitus chapter fourteen, as the people are standing in
Speaker 3: front of a red sea, up against battles that they're
Speaker 3: not ready to fight, surrounded by enemies that they are
Speaker 3: not strong enough to subdue, you feel like that. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna stop my sermon for a minute. If you feel
Speaker 3: like that, watch what Moses did because he thought the
Speaker 3: Lord was just going to do something. This is so
Speaker 3: funny in the Bible sometimes there's little jokes, but you
Speaker 3: just you think the Bible's boring, so you don't get them.
Speaker 3: Moses gives a speech to the people. He says verse
Speaker 3: fourteen Exitus fourteen, the Lord will fight for you.
Speaker 1: You need only to be still. Then the Lord said
Speaker 1: to Moses, why are you crying out to me? Tell
Speaker 1: the Israelites to move on.
Speaker 3: Crying is no substitute for cross. You can stand there
Speaker 3: and cry and get killed, or you can move forward
Speaker 3: in the season with what you have because play LJ.
Speaker 3: The Lord said, why are you crying out to me?
Speaker 3: Tell the Israelites to move on? Raise your staff and
Speaker 3: stretch out your hand. So the Lord says that the
Speaker 3: key to this is going to be what Paul said
Speaker 3: in Philippians chapter three, that I am letting go of
Speaker 3: what's behind me and letting God deal with that, and
Speaker 3: I'm reaching toward what's ahead of me.
Speaker 5: And if you will do this, God will do that.
Speaker 3: And the Bible says that they had to go through
Speaker 3: some raging waters in UF two. You know, let's just
Speaker 3: rejoice for a moment in our hearts. You don't have
Speaker 3: to clap or shout or nothing like that. Just in
Speaker 3: your own heart kind of tell the Lord Lake, I
Speaker 3: know it's amazing what you brought me through. See, because
Speaker 3: nobody else really knows what it cost you to get here.
Speaker 3: Nobody knows what it cost you nobody knows what you cried.
Speaker 3: Nobody really knows how much you're having to let go of. Look,
Speaker 3: there are people in this room today who are having
Speaker 3: to unlearn their entire upbringing to follow Christ. They were
Speaker 3: not raised in a Christian family, they were not shown
Speaker 3: how to read the Bible, they were not taught about Jesus.
Speaker 1: And God has brought you this far. So as we
Speaker 1: thank God for that and what you've been through. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you.
Speaker 3: Really just would think about it for one split second
Speaker 3: of your life, the fear of what's next would look
Speaker 3: much smaller in the context of all you've been through already.
Speaker 4: I mean, the devil missed his window to take you
Speaker 4: out because there had been some things that you have
Speaker 4: been through that were much bigger than this.
Speaker 1: And as they walk through the waters, I love to.
Speaker 3: Get a picture of it man, because at this point
Speaker 3: they've basically already given up faith in their leader because
Speaker 3: he's taken them the long way. But God was leading
Speaker 3: them through him, and they have no idea what's going
Speaker 3: to happen next, only that this man is holding up
Speaker 3: a stick in front of a sea. So if you
Speaker 3: feel like that today, I need you to know that
Speaker 3: God has you covered. The Bible says in verse sixteen,
Speaker 3: raiz your staff and stretch out your hand over the
Speaker 3: sea to divide the water, so that the Israelites can
Speaker 3: go through on dry ground. I will harden the hearts
Speaker 3: of the Egyptians so that they will go.
Speaker 1: In after them.
Speaker 3: And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and his army,
Speaker 3: through his chariots and his horsemen. Did you notice that
Speaker 3: everything that was going to kill them was an instrument
Speaker 3: in the hands of God for a greater glory.
Speaker 4: I prophesy it over your life, what the enemy meant
Speaker 4: for evil. Help me preach. Then somebody shout.
Speaker 3: Now, Then the Angel of God, who had been traveling
Speaker 3: in front of Israel's army, withdrew and went behind them.
Speaker 3: And the pillar of cloud also moved from in front
Speaker 3: and stood behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt
Speaker 3: and Israel. And throughout the night, the cloud brought darkness
Speaker 3: to the one side and light to the other side,
Speaker 3: so neither went near the other all night long. Then
Speaker 3: Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all
Speaker 3: that night the.
Speaker 1: Lord drove the seed back. You see it. Moses is
Speaker 1: doing this, and God is doing this.
Speaker 3: Moses is doing this, and God is doing this, and
Speaker 3: Moses is and God has you covered in this season
Speaker 3: of your life. The waters were divided, and the Israelites
Speaker 3: went through the sea on dry ground, with the wall
Speaker 3: of water on their right and on their left. The
Speaker 3: Egyptians pursued them, and all pharaohs, horses and chariots and
Speaker 3: horsemen followed them into the sea.
Speaker 1: During the last watch of.
Speaker 3: The night, the Lord looked down from the pillar of
Speaker 3: fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it
Speaker 3: into confusion. And he jammed the wheels of their chariots
Speaker 3: so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians, the enemies,
Speaker 3: the forces that came to conspire against the people of God,
Speaker 3: said let's get away from the Israelites.
Speaker 1: The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.
Speaker 3: Then the Lord said to Moses, watch this, stretch out
Speaker 3: your hand over the sea, so that the waters may
Speaker 3: flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.
Speaker 3: Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at
Speaker 3: daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians
Speaker 3: were fleeing toward it, and the Lord swept them into
Speaker 3: the sea. The water flowed back and covered the chariots
Speaker 3: and the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had
Speaker 3: followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground.
Speaker 3: Notice how many times it says, see because this is planned.
Speaker 3: See the Israelites went through the sea, they were covered.
Speaker 3: The Egyptians drowned in the sea. It covered them. God
Speaker 3: is working all things together for your good. God is
Speaker 3: working all things together for his glory. God is working
Speaker 3: all things together for a purpose. God is working all things.
Speaker 1: Together for a plant. You just keep doing this verse
Speaker 1: thirty and I'll finish that day.
Speaker 3: The Lord saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians,
Speaker 3: and all Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.
Speaker 3: So I don't have to see it to believe it.
Speaker 3: Because I know that God is with me. And I've
Speaker 3: been praying about some things in my life, like you've
Speaker 3: been praying about some things in your life, and I've
Speaker 3: had some things in my life that didn't quite.
Speaker 1: Match up at this point. And honestly, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: real specific with you.
Speaker 3: There's not that many things about my life that I
Speaker 3: can complain about. But sometimes there's some things about me
Speaker 3: that I thought would be better by now y'all just
Speaker 3: leaving me up here like I'm the only dog on
Speaker 3: one doing like this sometimes. But the Lord will bring
Speaker 3: you to the water for the worst that you're not
Speaker 3: ready for. I want to challenge you, y'all. We've got
Speaker 3: like a few weeks left and we'll be saying goodbye yesterday.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you, if you take the chariots with
Speaker 3: you into the Promised Land, you won't be there long.
Speaker 1: There are some things that God wants to deal with
Speaker 1: in your life. And God might have sent a problem
Speaker 1: to answer a prayer.
Speaker 3: What was Paul's prayer? I want to know Christ. So
Speaker 3: God put him in a prison and said you'll get
Speaker 3: to know me here. So Paul said, I have a
Speaker 3: prize in the prison. So do you a prize in
Speaker 3: the prison?
Speaker 1: You hear that? A prize in the prison?
Speaker 3: Father? These are your people. I didn't make them, I
Speaker 3: didn't create them. I can't lead them through deep waters.
Speaker 1: You can now, God, we're holding on to so much.
Speaker 3: I mean, we've got our fist bald up so tight
Speaker 3: on a ten dollars blessing We've got our fist bald
Speaker 3: up so tight on the way we think about us,
Speaker 3: on the way that we think about others.
Speaker 1: We've got our fist bald up so tight on our
Speaker 1: Plan A.
Speaker 3: Some of us are thinking about going back Plan bing,
Speaker 3: but today you told us that Plan C. It's for
Speaker 3: us to trust you, give the situation to you, follow
Speaker 3: you for it.
Speaker 1: And I believe God. Yeah, dude, I believe that.
Speaker 3: You're going to bring them across this red seed that
Speaker 3: they're going through.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that is a cute metaphor. God, I
Speaker 1: have faith for it for them, And.
Speaker 3: Even if they don't believe right now, would you just
Speaker 3: give them the strength to let go? Is such a
Speaker 3: strange thing to pray for. We think is so strong
Speaker 3: to hold on, but the strength to let go and
Speaker 3: to go forward. It's time for Plan See. It's time
Speaker 3: for you to see what God can do when you
Speaker 3: trust Him with your life. Head's bowed, eyes closed. There's
Speaker 3: someone here today. And the assignment on my life for
Speaker 3: this message with you is to give you the opportunity
Speaker 3: to give your life to Jesus Christ, like, to really
Speaker 3: give him your life, not just to say I'm religious,
Speaker 3: not just to say, yeah, I'm going to pray to
Speaker 3: God make my life better. Know to really give him
Speaker 3: your life is that you. God has brought you to
Speaker 3: this moment.
Speaker 1: This is a threshold for you.
Speaker 3: You are here today because God has been drawing you
Speaker 3: and leading you and calling you out of your sin,
Speaker 3: out of your.
Speaker 1: Shame, and into his love.
Speaker 3: The Bible says that if you will confess with your
Speaker 3: mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart
Speaker 3: God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Speaker 1: I believe that this day God wants to save you.
Speaker 3: Right now, I'm going to pray a prayer for the
Speaker 3: benefit of those who are coming to God and listen.
Speaker 3: If this is you and you feel it in your
Speaker 3: heart and you're ready to repent of your sin and
Speaker 3: trust in God and give him your life, I want
Speaker 3: you to know that the work has already been done.
Speaker 3: Jesus already died the death we should have died.
Speaker 1: He lived the life we could not live.
Speaker 3: He paid a debt he did not owe, so that
Speaker 3: you could be saved.
Speaker 1: The only thing for you to do is to believe.
Speaker 3: So right now, if you're ready for that, to give
Speaker 3: your life to Christ, I want you to repeat this
Speaker 3: prayer after me.
Speaker 1: Church family, we're praying it.
Speaker 3: Out loud together for all those who are coming to God.
Speaker 1: Repeat after me, Heavenly Father.
Speaker 3: I am a sinner in need of a savior, and
Speaker 3: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God
Speaker 3: and the savior of the world. Today I make Jesus the.
Speaker 1: Lord of my life.
Speaker 3: I believe he died that I would be forgiven and
Speaker 3: rose again to give me life.
Speaker 1: I receive this new life.
Speaker 3: This is my new beginning. I am a child of God.
Speaker 3: On the counter, three, raise your hand. If you prayed
Speaker 3: that one, two, three hands went up before I even
Speaker 3: said three.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Let's give the Lord a great hand of praise.
