1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: Be sure to subscribe so we can get you these

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: new sermons every week. I hope you're blessed today.

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 3: I want you to take your hands and just put

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: them like this. Today's going to be a special day.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: It's going to be a special day. I want to

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: teach you that prayer we were singing. That prayer came

9
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: out of my personal time with God dealing with my

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 3: own anxiety and fear and stress and all the things that.

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: We deal with.

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 3: And Holly shared it a few weeks ago, and it

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: just gives you an opportunity to reset.

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: And I want to give you that opportunity right now.

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Just take a deep breath.

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: And breathe out again, and just repeat after me, say,

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 4: I breathe you in Holy Spirit, and your strength comes suddenly,

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 4: and your peace fills me completely.

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Let's pray it again. I breathe you in.

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: Holy Spirit, and your strength comes suddenly, and your peace.

21
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:46,279
Speaker 1: Fills me completely. Come Holy Spirit, with every breath.

22
00:01:46,319 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: Come, Come have your way, Come show us Jesus, Come

23
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: teach us your word, Come lead us.

24
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: In your ways.

25
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: Come renew our minds. We're waiting here for you and

26
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: breathe you in. Thank you today, Lord, for each person

27
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: that you drew to be a part of this moment.

28
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: I believe that it was you that made the arrangements

29
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: for us to be here at this time. And I

30
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: believe that there's something that you are going to speak today,

31
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: words of comfort, conviction, healing, and instruction. We want to

32
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: say to you that unless you come, we're not enough.

33
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 3: But if you come, and we believe that you're here

34
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: right now, we believe that you're filling us right now.

35
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: We believe that you're doing it right now. If you come,

36
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: we can do all things through Him who gives us strength.

37
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: Thank you for your strength, Lord, Thank you for the

38
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: confidence that only comes from you.

39
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: We receive it now in Jesus' name. Amen. Let's clap

40
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: our hands and thank God for his presence.

41
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to share these moments with you today,

42
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: and I want to share with you right from my

43
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: personal time with God remains standing for a moment, and

44
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: I want to just tell you this before.

45
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: I tell you what I'm gonna tell you.

46
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: Let me tell you before I tell you what I'm

47
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: gonna tell you what I'm gonna tell you. It's been

48
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: several years since I've preached on this particular weekend. It's

49
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: a holiday weekend, and normally I take this weekend off.

50
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: But something God was stirring in me was so strong

51
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: that I felt that it was meant to be released

52
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: on this particular day. And I don't say that to

53
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: get your expectations too high, because you know then there's

54
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: no possible way that we could live up to it.

55
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 3: But there is something that God has been speaking, and

56
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: this is Pentecost Sunday.

57
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: Now Pentecost Sunday.

58
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: You're like, do they have Episcopalian Sunday, Baptist Sunday? Does

59
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: every one of these denominations get a Sunday. We're not

60
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: celebrating a denomination today, but Pentecost is where the Church

61
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit.

62
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: And that was not a Pentecostal response to that.

63
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 3: So this is definitely an interesting situation, like the least

64
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: Pentecostal response that could possibly be that's how we do it,

65
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: but it's really beyond any certain tradition. There's there is

66
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: a stirring in my spirit to give you two scriptures

67
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: today and kind of come right out of that song

68
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: where we were singing.

69
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, I listened to this.

70
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: So I'm going to give you two scriptures, and then

71
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to have you be seated and teach what

72
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: I believe is one of my life messages. They used

73
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: to come around all the time when the church was growing,

74
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: and these consultants would come and they'd say, you need

75
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: to develop a life message. And I was twenty nine.

76
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 3: I'm like, I haven't lived, but at this stage of

77
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: my life, there are some things that I believe God

78
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: has called me to impart and I'm learning about that,

79
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 3: and I believe.

80
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: This is one of them.

81
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: Now, the first scripture I want to give you is

82
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: from Second Kings chapter three. You're not going to know

83
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: what's going on around here, but you will know when

84
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 3: you need to. So Second King's Chapter three, just one

85
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: verse and then I'll tell you the story behind it. Now,

86
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: it happened in the morning when the grain offering was offered,

87
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: that suddenly water came by way of Eaedom as the wilderness.

88
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: Now, it happened in.

89
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 3: The morning when the grain offering was offered, that suddenly

90
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: water came by way of Eatom and the land was

91
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: filled with water.

92
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: Somebody shouts, suddenly.

93
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: Now let's go over to Acts chapter two, the original

94
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 3: Pentecost Sunday. It's been ten days since Jesus ascended to heaven.

95
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: It's been fifty days since he rose from the dead.

96
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 3: Pentam means five, So it's been It's a celebration that

97
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: is in progress.

98
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: But the scripture says, and suddenly, Acts Chapter two, verse two.

99
00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of

100
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled the whole house

101
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 3: where they were sitting.

102
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I don't think you heard me.

103
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: It filled the whole house, every single nook, every single cranny.

104
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: It filled the kitchen, It filled the bathrooms, It filled

105
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: the living room, It filled the whole house. God told

106
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: me to preach a message today and release a word

107
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: to you. This is called a steady hand for a

108
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: sudden blessing. A steady hand for a sudden blessing. Touch

109
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: three people and scare them on your way to your seat,

110
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: Say suddenly it's gonna come suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, Wow,

111
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: thank you Lord. I'm so excited I might sweat. I

112
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: shouldn't have warned this sweat, or I might sweat. I

113
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: can't tell what temperature is going to be right here

114
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: in Charlotte right now, from day to day.

115
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm so confused. It'll change on you like that, feel

116
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: like summer one day and fall the next. Did it

117
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: just switch on you suddenly? So so that's all right.

118
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: I was even glad it was raining today because I

119
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: thought it was a sign that God wanted me to

120
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: preach when the rain comes suddenly.

121
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm serious. You'll think I'm playing around. That's not a joke,

122
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: I really do.

123
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: Thank God wanted me to share this steady hand for

124
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: a sudden blessing. Put that title right in the chat,

125
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: say a steady hand for a sudden blessing. Now we'll

126
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: talk about both of those, because both are important. I'll

127
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: write this down if you'd like to take notes, to

128
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: give you a good sense of momentum as we begin

129
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: this sermon. What we experience suddenly was usually engineered steadily.

130
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: What we experience suddenly was usually not all the time,

131
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: but usually engineered steadily. And so what I mean by

132
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: that is behind most things that happened quickly to our eyes,

133
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: there was consistency that enabled it to happen that we

134
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: didn't see. So, just for an example of that, one

135
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: of my friends, who is a professional fighter, knocked out

136
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: one of his opponents in like thirty seconds. And I

137
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: had paid sixty dollars to watch the pay per view.

138
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: And when I called to congratulate him, I said, I'm

139
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: so glad you won, and congratulations on the victory.

140
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: But did you have to knock him out so quick?

141
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: It was sixty dollars.

142
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: I was doing the math on the price per second,

143
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: and of course I was joking, but he got real

144
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: mad about it, and uh, and he's a professional fighter,

145
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: and so that was really intimidating. But I never forgot

146
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: what he said. He said what he said, what you

147
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: saw me do with one with one blow? I trained

148
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: six months to be able to do that. And beside

149
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: the fact that I trained six months, I've been doing

150
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: this all my life.

151
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: He was trying to get me to.

152
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: See that what looked like luck through the lens of

153
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: my experience.

154
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Was anything.

155
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: But what we experienced quickly is over already.

156
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,239
Speaker 1: I was just I was just giving my popcorn.

157
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 3: What we experienced quickly was engineered through consistency.

158
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: Isn't that true in your life?

159
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: Since our church did grow fast a lot of people

160
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: called us an overnight success. One thing I love about

161
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: the reason of life that I'm in is that not

162
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: only have I been pastoring this church now for over

163
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: seventeen years, but this Thursday I will celebrate twenty one

164
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: years of marriage to Holly this Thursday. And yesterday when

165
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: my barber asked me, what's one nugget of wisdom from

166
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: twenty one years, I said, easy, Mary, Holly, that's the

167
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: best thing I ever did. That's my whole marriage book,

168
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: Mary Her. I really do think the selection process was

169
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: a blessing. But of course, I mean, we want it

170
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: in one principle for twenty one years. There's no one

171
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: principle for twenty one years, there's no one anything for anything.

172
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: And yet I have preached.

173
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: And taught that so much out of a desire to

174
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: be balanced that sometimes I think I fail to remind

175
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: you that with our God, it happen suddenly. Now I

176
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: feel my faith rising up today, so I don't even

177
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: need yours to say what God gave me to say,

178
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: it can come suddenly. It can, and it often does

179
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: come suddenly. So that's why I wrote a prayer for

180
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: myself that said, I breathe you in Holy Spirit, and

181
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: your strength comes suddenly, Because there will be moments in

182
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 3: my life where I need God to do it right now.

183
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 3: Maybe you're in one of those moments today. I want

184
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: to speak to that moment. If you are in that

185
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: moment where you need God to give you wisdom and

186
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: you don't have six years to study the subject to

187
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: get the wisdom, the wisdom can come suddenly. Say it

188
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: out loud, let's get this confession turning in our spirits.

189
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: It can come suddenly. Say it again. It can come suddenly.

190
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: In the chat, it can come suddenly. No sooner can

191
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: you start to think it's never gonna happen than it

192
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: does happen while you were wondering how it was going

193
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: to happen.

194
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: It can come suddenly.

195
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: And on the day of Pentecost there came a sudden sound,

196
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 3: a sudden sound for a people who were sitting in

197
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: the middle of a very difficult and uncertain season. See,

198
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: not only has it been ten days since Jesus left

199
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: the earth, they have no clue how and when He's

200
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: going to restore the Kingdom of Israel.

201
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: And maybe that's you.

202
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: Maybe you need God to come right now because you

203
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: have no clue, no clue, just graduated college and you

204
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: have no clue who's going to hire. You told me

205
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: to put a little graduation speech energy in this today,

206
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: So I'm put a little graduation speech energy in this

207
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: today for everybody who is in high school right now,

208
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: and they're all asking you where are you going to college?

209
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: And what are you going to do with your life?

210
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: And where are you going to retire to? I mean,

211
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: we start asking everybody everything so soon before I even

212
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: get a chance to know who I am. I can't

213
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: even hang my middle school diploma on my wall, my

214
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: eighth grade graduation participation trophy certificate on my wall before

215
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: you want to know, well, where are you going to college?

216
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: And nowadays there is so much pressure. Let me rant,

217
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: Let me rant, Let me rant. I came in on

218
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: a holiday weekend, so let me rant. Let me have

219
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: a little fun, Let me have a little therapy. So

220
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: is so necessary that our kids have a nine point

221
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: seven gpa in the third grade, so that in case

222
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: they want to go to Harvard? What if in case

223
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to pay for Harvard? Stop asking my

224
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: kids are you going to Harvard? I want them to

225
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: go to Harvard. I want them to go to online

226
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: school because it's cheaper. Leave my kids alone, somebody that's

227
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: had somebody pressuring you to make a decision, just shout,

228
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: real quick.

229
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: Leave me alone. I don't low when y'all gonna have

230
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: kids and you gonna give me some grand babies. Leave

231
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: me alone. I don't know.

232
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: You can't say that to your mom's face, but you

233
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: could say in church right now. So I'm kind of

234
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: reminded of what Jesus said when the disciples were like.

235
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: Is it time? Is it time? Is it time?

236
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: This is in Acts chapter one. They're like, is it time?

237
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: Are you gonna restore the kingdom to Israel? And Jesus

238
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: is like, this is a great little Bible verse for

239
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: everything you think you need to know that you don't

240
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: know right now, and you think you can't go forward

241
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: to you know everything you think you need to know,

242
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: and so you are staying frozen in what you don't know.

243
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: Look at Acts chapter one, verse seven, on this Pentecost Sunday,

244
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: here you go, and he Jesus capital Ah, that's the

245
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: big guy, that's the big boss, that's the chef in

246
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: the back of the kitchen, and the owner all rolled

247
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: up into one, and he said to them, it is

248
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: not for you to know the times or seasons which

249
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: the Father has put in his own authority. This is

250
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: not permission to be ignorant. It's just an invitation into mystery.

251
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: Because watch what he says next verse eight. But you

252
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 3: shall receive.

253
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: Power. So I like this little thing like.

254
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: I don't know the plan, but that doesn't mean I

255
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: don't have the power.

256
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: I love that, don't you.

257
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: I don't know the plan and I don't know how

258
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: this ends, and I don't know when, but I definitely

259
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: know who.

260
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: See, the Holy Spirit doesn't just give power, he is power.

261
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: So if you believe in Jesus, are there any believers

262
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: in the house, and if you've called on his name

263
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 3: to save you, not only did he save you, but

264
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 3: he's stepping through every season with you. And you have power.

265
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: Somebody shout power. I even need my security to shout power. Power, power, power, power, power.

266
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: That's what I've got. You got a plan, No I

267
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: got power, You got it all worked out.

268
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: No I got power.

269
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: You got a seven step strategy. No I got power.

270
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: Power enough to do what? Power enough to walk it?

271
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I gotta get back to it. I gotta

272
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: get back to it.

273
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: He said, it is not for you to know the

274
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: times that the Father has called you to trust him

275
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 3: with so a lot of times. It is not about

276
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: us knowing what time it's going to be when it happens.

277
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: It's about us trusting God enough that until he does

278
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: show us what he's doing, we can trust him that

279
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: his hand is steady, that his hand is active, that

280
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: his heart is full of love for me. And this

281
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 3: enables me to stand in uncertain seasons. I mean, it

282
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: is an uncertain season when Jesus just vanishes and you

283
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 3: don't know when he's coming back. The disciples were like,

284
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: we need to know. I'm speaking to somebody today who

285
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: thinks you need to know something that you don't need

286
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: to know right now.

287
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: And what I want you to begin to.

288
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: Say to yourself over the next seven days, for all

289
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: of those times that you think you need to know

290
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: something that God is trusting you to let him control,

291
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: is just over and over say, I'll know, this is

292
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: my first point of the sermon. I'm like, I've already

293
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: made some points, but this is the first one. I

294
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 3: told him to put on the screen when I need to.

295
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: I don't know when I need to that thing hit me.

296
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: That thing hit me the other day because I was

297
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: praying about something. Well, okay, that's very generous to call

298
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: it prayer. I was worrying about something. I don't know

299
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: why I wanted to label it prayer in front of you.

300
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: Y'all make me want to get up here and pretend

301
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm holier than I am. I was stress eating about something.

302
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: I really don't want to get any more honest than.

303
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: This about it. That's about as far as I'm.

304
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 3: Willing to go with you. That's all you need to know.

305
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: What were you stress eating? Don't worry about it. That's

306
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: all you need to know. This relationship is on a

307
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: need to know basis, and so is your relationship with God.

308
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: I'll know when I need to say that. I'll know

309
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: when I need to.

310
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: I love participation in response because I think when you

311
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: speak something that God speaks to you, it has a

312
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: lot more of an opportunity to get in you than

313
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: just when you listen to me say it.

314
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: I'll know when I need to.

315
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: And this is what Jesus is saying to the disciples

316
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 3: right like, there are some things that God can only control,

317
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 3: and then there are some things that you are responsible for.

318
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: So it is not for you to know the times,

319
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: but it is for you to walk in the power.

320
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: Now that helps me with this, because if I were

321
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 3: teaching this like a seminar and not preaching it like

322
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: a sermon, I would talk about how desperation drives you

323
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: to revelation, How desperation drives you to revelation.

324
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Some things you will never.

325
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: Know in your life until you become convinced that you

326
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: need to know them.

327
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: And the best.

328
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 3: Example I can give you is there are books that

329
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: you bought that you never read, that are sitting on

330
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 3: your shelf waiting for you to hit a situation that

331
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 3: makes you go pull that book off of your shelf.

332
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: Hello, parents.

333
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: There was a book that I bought because I thought

334
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: it had a cool title about parenting years ago, but

335
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: I never read it until my oldest son turned thirteen.

336
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: I went to find that book.

337
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 3: I grabbed the hardcover paper book off the shelf. I

338
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: downloaded the digital one so I could have it on

339
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: my Kindle so I could take it on my phone.

340
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 3: I downloaded the audio book so the author could read

341
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 3: it to me in their own voice, because they had

342
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: a British accent and I thought that sounded kind of sophisticated.

343
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: But I didn't even watch this what I'm trying to say,

344
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: I didn't dig for it until I got desperate for it.

345
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: And a lot of things that we say we want

346
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: to know about God, we don't really want to know

347
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 3: them badly enough yet because we don't think we need.

348
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: It badly enough yet. So we approach God.

349
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: Kind of wanting surface levels, superficial knowledge about decisions in

350
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: our life. But some things are only going to become

351
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: plain and real to us as we get past the

352
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: place of thinking that we can control it, and we'll

353
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 3: start saying, what was that scripture Pastor Stephen was preaching

354
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: that Sunday when I went and it was raining and

355
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: I was kind of sleepy, and I didn't write it down?

356
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: Did you write it down?

357
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 3: And you'll be going to your neighbor asking did you

358
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: take notes? Because when you need those notes, I'm saying,

359
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 3: when you need those notes, put everything that I say

360
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: that sounds even like it might be good at some

361
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 3: time in the future in your phone, because you don't

362
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: know how the devil's going to be fighting you this Friday,

363
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: And what if God has given you the word right now?

364
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 3: For the fight you're going to be in Friday. But

365
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 3: you don't know about that fight yet, But put it

366
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: in your phone so when the fight comes, you will

367
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: know where to go.

368
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 5: That God gave me this word for this fight before

369
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 5: it was.

370
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: Ever even the first round.

371
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 3: See, I can't hit the gym and start lifting when

372
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: it's time for a competition. And I'm gonna be in

373
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: some situations in my life where I need sudden strength.

374
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 3: So how do I get sudden strength? This with a

375
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: steady hand. It's gonna come all of a sudden. And

376
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: I believe that there are many here today who are

377
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 3: standing in front of something that God is calling you

378
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: to walk into, but you won't go into it because

379
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: you don't know what's on the other side of it.

380
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Enter Elisha the Prophet.

381
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 3: Now this is what I got up to talk to

382
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: you about on this Pentecost Sunday, little Bible story.

383
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: I really love.

384
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 3: I hope you love it too by the time that

385
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: we're done. And I don't need you to know every

386
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 3: single detail about the Kingdom of Israel to get this

387
00:24:59,240 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 3: Bible passage.

388
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: Please.

389
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 3: I know some people when they get into this stuff,

390
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: they're like, I feel so dumb. Man I don't know

391
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: any of these Bible stories, and I know I should,

392
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: but I don't know what.

393
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: You're talking about.

394
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: You don't need to know every bed of the background

395
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 3: of this just to get what God has for you

396
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 3: from it. So here's what I think you need to

397
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: know about this passage. The King of Israel, the King

398
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: of Judah. So there's a northern kingdom of Israel, southern

399
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: Kingdom of Judah. Jehasha Fat he's a pretty good king

400
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: in Judah. Jehoram terrible king, but his mom was Jezebel.

401
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 3: She was really really bad, and Ahab was bad. So

402
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: he came by it honest and so he didn't really

403
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: get a lot of good training in how to do this,

404
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: but he was terrible. These two kings are with another

405
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 3: king from Moab and are from uh, excuse me, I

406
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: messed that up from Edom. See I get this stuff

407
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: mixed up too, from Edom, which was the wilderness where

408
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 3: they were attacking through. So they pick up this king

409
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 3: of Edom and they're going to fight against Moab, and

410
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: Moab is trying to be But let me explain the situation.

411
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: Let's see if you've ever been there before.

412
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: On their way to go to war, they run out

413
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: of water in the wilderness. Has that ever happened to

414
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: anybody in here? That on your way to fight one battle,

415
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: you encounter something that you didn't plan for that weakens

416
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 3: you on your way to war. It's this feeling you

417
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: can get sometimes that I was already juggling enough.

418
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: I was already struggling enough. I feel so annointed to

419
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: break chains today for people. I'm excited about it. I

420
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: was already stressed enough. I was already overwhelmed enough. Now

421
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: this and in the King.

422
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: James, one of the King's looks up, the King James

423
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: version of my He looks up and says, Alas, I

424
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 3: love that, because.

425
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a King James cussword. He's like, Alas,

426
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: dang it.

427
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: Like we're out here trying to fight the Lord's battles

428
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: and the Lord won't give us water now, So they

429
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 3: march seven days through the desert and eatam Is Is

430
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: butted up right against the dead sea.

431
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: So it's a dry place.

432
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: So they can't even defeat their enemy without passing through

433
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 3: a dry place to do it. And that's half the

434
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 3: problem with us keeping our faith is that we just

435
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: don't get to show up to stuff fresh. We don't

436
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 3: just get to show up to stuff feeling good. We

437
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: don't just get to show up to our mission in

438
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: a good mood. A lot of times you will have

439
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: to do the mission when you're not in the mood

440
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: that you were in when you said you would do

441
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: the mission. A lot of times I have to preach

442
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: the sermon when the feeling that I got when I

443
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 3: received the sermon is sitting back in Thursday when I

444
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: studied the sermon. But I've got to do it then,

445
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 3: and I've got to do it not for my own glory,

446
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: but I've got to do it so somebody can be helped. Now, Now,

447
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: what do you do when you're on your way to

448
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: a war and you run out of water, when you're

449
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 3: trying to raise your own children and you are still

450
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: dealing with things from your childhood that nobody showed you

451
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: how to process, that nobody taught you how to break

452
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: down trauma and convert it into triumph.

453
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that.

454
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: Sounds cute, but I don't know how to do it.

455
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: But God says you'll know when you need to know.

456
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: So even if you didn't get it when you think

457
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 3: you ought, I mean, stop screaming because I think I'm

458
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: preaching too hard. I don't think you can hear what

459
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: I'm saying because you're just listening to me.

460
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: Holler.

461
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: If you and get it when you should have gotten it,

462
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: then that wasn't when you should have gotten it. There's

463
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: something about now that God knew. There is something about

464
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 3: your future that God still knows. Just because I don't

465
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: get it suddenly, and just because I'm not walking in

466
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: it presently doesn't mean that God isn't giving it steadily.

467
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: For you See, if I look back at my life.

468
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: The hymn I will sing is great is thy faithfulness,

469
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: Oh God, my Father, there is no shadow of turning

470
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: with thee.

471
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.

472
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me, Great is thy faithfulness.

473
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: Great is thy faithfulness?

474
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: How did you get morning by morning by morning by morning?

475
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: What's that? When you need it when you need it?

476
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: So when you woke up this morning, the grace that

477
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: you needed for today was in today. The strength that

478
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: you need for today is in today. And when you

479
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: get to tomorrow there will be a truckload of what

480
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 3: you need for tomorrow.

481
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: Back it up tomorrow.

482
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: But you can't get tomorrow's strength though today's praise.

483
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: You just gotta say God.

484
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 6: That need you right now, morning by morning. So the

485
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 6: hand of God was steady holding me up even when

486
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 6: the help didn't suddenly come.

487
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: That's why I don't like to preach.

488
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: Suddenly, because it sets an expectation that everything that I

489
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 3: want and wish is gonna happen when I want and wish.

490
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: For it to happen.

491
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: There are sometimes that it comes suddenly, there are sometimes

492
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: that it doesn't. And in the times when it doesn't

493
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: come suddenly, his hand holds me steadily. It's a steady hand.

494
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: You know how the hand of God can snatch you

495
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: out just like that. If you don't know that, I'll

496
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: tell you. The hand of God can snatch you out

497
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: of depression just like that.

498
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Suddenly.

499
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: The hand of God can get you out of that situation,

500
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 3: just like that.

501
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: Let me prophesy, Let me prophesy. It's pentecost.

502
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 3: Can we be Pentecostal for one single week?

503
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Let me prophesy. The hand of God.

504
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 3: Can get that no good guy that you keep chasing

505
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 3: because you don't want to be.

506
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: Alone, and snatch him out of your life just like that.

507
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: And You'll be praying God bring it him back, and

508
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 3: God will say I can't bring it back because I'm

509
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: trying to take you forward. And what you've been calling

510
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: a blessing is really a blockage. God can move stuff

511
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: just like like.

512
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: What like that shot suddenly.

513
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: And just because he does stuff suddenly doesn't mean that

514
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: when he's not doing it suddenly he went away. The

515
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Please

516
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 3: leave me alone. I just want to teach a Bible class.

517
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to go Sunday. That's all I want to do.

518
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: And that is not my original quote. I don't know

519
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: who said it, but it just came up in my spirit.

520
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: See now that's a good example. That's a good example.

521
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: How did I say that suddenly? Because every day of

522
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 3: my life I try to study, so when we needed

523
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 3: that word.

524
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: Suddenly?

525
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: But see behind every sudden blessing there is a steady hand.

526
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: Anybody who built a successful business wave at me.

527
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: Don't it make you laugh when they think it was

528
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: sudden when it starts working.

529
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Wow, you just came out of nowhere. You blew up.

530
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: No, I dug down and stop saying people blew up.

531
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: Stop saying people blew up. That makes it sound like

532
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: something bad happened. Man, they blew up.

533
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: No, they built something. Promise you they did.

534
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 3: Wave at me again, if you've ever had a business

535
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: succeed or anything succeed like you. Okay, let's get the

536
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: baseline down. You sent a successful text message one time?

537
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 3: All right, Well, there was all.

538
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: Don't find coming around.

539
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: There were all kinds of spelling, punctuation, grammar, all of that.

540
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: None of that comes suddenly.

541
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 3: We just see it suddenly, and a lot of times,

542
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 3: a lot of times, not every time, but a lot

543
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 3: of times you don't even know what you're doing there

544
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: until you can look back later and say, twenty one years.

545
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: Because the reason I shared with you about my twenty

546
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: one year anniversary was to brag number two to get

547
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 3: you all ready for our marriage series we're going to

548
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 3: be doing sometime soon.

549
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't know when.

550
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 3: I already know what to call it. I just don't

551
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 3: know what to talk about. So the Lord was show

552
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: me when I need to know. Must not be time yet.

553
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 3: Can we get a little more open handed in our

554
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: life and let go of when we think stuff is

555
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: supposed to happen and how we think it was supposed

556
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 3: to happen, and who we think it was supposed to

557
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 3: happen through?

558
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: Because when I went to college. Now, I remember when

559
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: I was nine years old, I wanted to go to Harvard.

560
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: I want to go to Harvard, and.

561
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: I probably could have done it, but the Lord had

562
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 3: different plans for me.

563
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: That's my narrative.

564
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 3: But why am I at North Greenville? Remember how bad

565
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 3: you wanted me to go to Charleston Southern. Yeah, it

566
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: was close to home, and I kind of wanted to

567
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 3: go to because there was this girl, and there was

568
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 3: this job and all that.

569
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: But something, something, something come here twenty one years.

570
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 3: Something, something was coming to Tigerville, South Carolina. That's where

571
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: North Greenville is. What am I doing here? I wondered

572
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: when my parents dropped me off at that college. This

573
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: is for everybody who's stressed out about stuff you don't

574
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: understand and you don't know. God, I wanted to go

575
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 3: home for months at that little school.

576
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: But something something, it must have been. It must have

577
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: been a holly and a boy knot.

578
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 3: It must have been that girl staying over there Incline nine.

579
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: I remember the number of the dorm. I was stalking

580
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: you before you knew how sexy.

581
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 7: I was, Hey, Now, how many of y'all think that

582
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 7: while I was in those first three weeks wanting to

583
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 7: go home, God saw this girl on the front row

584
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 7: that has built this church, in this ministry, right by

585
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 7: my side every step of the way.

586
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: How many think that God saw that I do?

587
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: And do you think that God sees stuff about your

588
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: life that you don't see right now? And is it

589
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: possible that you're not in a sudden season, you're in

590
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: a steady season.

591
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: We used to say, will you go steady with me?

592
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: Actually I think that was in the fifties, but they

593
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: used to say I think that was the Fonds that

594
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 3: used to say that.

595
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: We used to just.

596
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 3: Say go with me, go with me where I don't know,

597
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 3: just go with me. And sometimes God will just say

598
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: go with me, go with me. I need you to

599
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 3: take this next step because I need to get you

600
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: steady because for what I'm going to do in your

601
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: life that you don't know yet, if your hands aren't steady,

602
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: you won't be able to handle the blessing that I'm

603
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 3: going to sin. So even when God isn't doing stuff suddenly,

604
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: he's doing stuff steadily.

605
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: And when he's doing stuff steadily. I can hold on

606
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: to my hope that all of.

607
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: A sudden and everybody else will say, oh, it happens

608
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: so quick. But you'll know it was consistent. You'll know

609
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: that you cried for it. You won't have to tell

610
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: them that. You'll know that you wondered about it. You

611
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: won't have to explain to them how deep.

612
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: The questions went.

613
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 3: You'll know what it actually cost you to stay faithful

614
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: to God. You'll know how painful it was when you

615
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 3: went to therapy and started rooting out stuff that you

616
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 3: wanted to push back down. And they won't know, but

617
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 3: they don't need to. What they will know is that

618
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: the glory of God is on you.

619
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: And they will look it through life not many days from.

620
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 3: Now, and they won't know how, but you will, and

621
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 3: you will say it was by his hand, it was

622
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: by his mercy. It was because he loved me, It

623
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: was because he came close.

624
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: It was a divine design. See, he was connecting DUTs.

625
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 6: See.

626
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 3: They had to say no so he could.

627
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 5: Say yes so I could be here so I could

628
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 5: do this. They had to say no so he could

629
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 5: say yes so I could be here so I could

630
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 5: do this. I tell you to believe it.

631
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: They had to say no, I speak to every rejection

632
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus.

633
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 8: I speak to the.

634
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 3: Next level of your effectiveness.

635
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: On the other side of this rejection. They had to

636
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: say no. So he told say yes, so you could be.

637
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 8: Here, so you could do.

638
00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 3: This. Praise in force, send for it, praising for it.

639
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: Come on, quiet personalities, get loud, praising for it.

640
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 5: Come on, piscopelion, get pentecostal.

641
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: Freeze it for it. Do this, do this, do.

642
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 9: This, five five, five people and say I'm doing this. Absolutely,

643
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 9: I'm doing this. I'm doing this. That's what Elisa said,

644
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 9: the prophet. Are you ready for Elisa the prophet?

645
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 3: We got three kings in the desert about to die.

646
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 3: There's somebody the devil's been telling you. You're about to die.

647
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: You're about to die. The dream is dead. It's over.

648
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 3: You're dead.

649
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: It's over. You won't make it. They're gonna cancel you.

650
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: They're gonna take you out.

651
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 3: The economy this time, your industry, this time, your business

652
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 3: is And this is where we need Elisha the prophet,

653
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 3: because he knew how to do what he knew how

654
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:18,479
Speaker 3: to do until God did what God does, isn't this good.

655
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: You don't feel like preaching, feel like preaching.

656
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put this sermon up also on the basin.

657
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: I already recorded it. I preached it Friday.

658
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 3: Holly came downstairs to say, you want to eat sandwiches

659
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 3: or eggs? And I was hollering at the camera. I

660
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 3: heard her go back up the stairs. Leave him alone,

661
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: let him work it out. And I preached this to

662
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: an hour. Why because when God showed up, and when

663
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 3: you showed up, I wanted to be ready for the rain.

664
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 3: I appreciate it in the basement so I could be

665
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 3: steady in the pulpit.

666
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna love this LJ. So.

667
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: So Elisha has a bad attitude because he thinks these

668
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 3: kings should have done it differently, and then they wouldn't

669
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 3: be in this situation.

670
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: Okay, if you would.

671
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: Have done it God's way, you wouldn't even be needing

672
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 3: this water. There are wilderness seasons that we send ourselves

673
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 3: into gaphy guilty as charged. But look at verse fourteen.

674
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: Let's back up a little bit and get the context.

675
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: And Elisha said, oh, he is a new prophet to them.

676
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 3: They've never used him before. Elijah was the one they

677
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: were familiar with. He was the new one. Elijah went

678
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 3: up with chariots of fire and they went to look

679
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: for him. And Elisha said, you can go look for him.

680
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 3: All you want is he's not coming back. We got

681
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: to figure this out right now. And the Lord will speak.

682
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: That to you. Sometimes you can go chase down that.

683
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 3: Disgruntled employee and do all the exit interviews you want to,

684
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 3: all you want to.

685
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: That's not coming back. You better get with this, You

686
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: better get with this. You're gonna miss this chasing that.

687
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 3: So Elishah gives him a little speech, a little talking

688
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 3: to verse fourteen second King's three, and Elishah said, as

689
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 3: the Lord of Hosts lived before whom I stand, surely,

690
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 3: were it not that I regard the presence.

691
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: Of Jehoshaphat, You're all right.

692
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: If I didn't regard him, Jehoshaphat, King of Judah, I

693
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 3: would not look at you, and turns to the other

694
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 3: king Joram, and.

695
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: Says, I wouldn't even look at you.

696
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: Touch your neighbor, saying I wouldn't even look at you

697
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 3: if you weren't so good looking. I don't want you

698
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 3: to have any fights going home. But he said, I

699
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: wouldn't even look at you nor see you. Now I've

700
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 3: read that because it's important, He's going, I don't feel

701
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 3: like prophesying, for y'all. What does feeling it have to

702
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 3: do with flowing in it? I wouldn't do this if

703
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 3: I were just going to my feelings. I love verse fifteen.

704
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: The whole thing hinges on two of my favorite words.

705
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: But now.

706
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 3: You can get a whole lot out of those two words.

707
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: But now that's how you got to reset in your heart.

708
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: I wish I would have known it sooner. I didn't,

709
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 3: but now I do. I wish I would have got

710
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 3: the memo about your character three months before we met,

711
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 3: but I didn't.

712
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: But now I got the mimo loud and clear.

713
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 3: You are absolutely crazy, and so am I, and our

714
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 3: craziest collide in a way that is not acceptable.

715
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: For the foreseeable future. Now I know somebody's shout. Now

716
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: that was a whispered hush shout. Say now, but.

717
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 3: Now bring me a musician.

718
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: Then it happened.

719
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 3: Then it happened when the musician played that, the hand

720
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 3: of the Lord came upon him, came upon who elisha.

721
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: So let's get this straightened out.

722
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 3: We've got a need for water that nobody saw coming.

723
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 3: Nobody knew they were going to be in need of water.

724
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 3: They thought they were just going to war. How many

725
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: are standing looking at a need right now that you

726
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 3: didn't see coming in your life, Like, even if it's

727
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 3: just the surgery that you might have to have, but

728
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: it's freaking you out, Raise your hand, even if it's

729
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 3: just the challenge that you feel emotionally, but everything's good

730
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 3: in your life, Raise your hand right now. I was

731
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 3: with some pastors this week, and what they said that

732
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 3: helped them the most.

733
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: I was imparting to.

734
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 3: Them and teaching them and helping them, and they said,

735
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 3: it was just good to hear from you that there's

736
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with us.

737
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: It was good for us.

738
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 3: To hear from you, because there's a part of us

739
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: that thinks I'm not supposed to be angry. I'm supposed

740
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 3: to be grateful, but I find myself getting angry and

741
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 3: I don't know why. So when you told us how

742
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 3: you get angry, it helped us because it let us

743
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 3: know that sometimes on your way to war, you run

744
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 3: out of water too. And what do you do when

745
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 3: the fight is right now but the knowledge isn't coming

746
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 3: and the feeling isn't coming. And Elisha knew what to do.

747
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 3: He said, give me a musician. And when the musician

748
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 3: began to play the hand of verse fifteen up. You

749
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: won't believe this. When the musician started playing, the hand

750
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 3: of the Lord came upon Elisha how suddenly? But does

751
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 3: it say that when the musician started practicing that the

752
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 3: hand of the Lord came upon Elisha.

753
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm wondering.

754
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 3: How long did that musician have to practice? How many

755
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 3: hours of practice does it take that if they come

756
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 3: recruit you and say, hey, we need you in the

757
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 3: wilderness real quick, running out of water and need you

758
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 3: to play something snappy for Elishah is his first chance

759
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:51,959
Speaker 3: prophesies got an audience.

760
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: With three kings in If he doesn't do it right,

761
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: they'd die. Come play.

762
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: That is not the time to work on your scales.

763
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 3: So if I bust into.

764
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 10: Great is thy faithfulness, Oh God, my father, there is

765
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 10: no shadow of turning with thee all I have needed

766
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 10: thy hand had provided.

767
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 3: His hands started playing all of a sudden. We did

768
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 3: not talk about that. Him.

769
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: I did not prepare him for that. Him. I did

770
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: not say ljay at moment number blah blah blah. In

771
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,959
Speaker 1: the sermon. After I say this, get ready to play.

772
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: Great is our faithfulness, because I need him to know

773
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 3: that it is.

774
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: Great is I faithfulness?

775
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 11: Oh God, my father, there is no shadow of turning

776
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 11: with thee. All I have needed thy hand had provided.

777
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 11: Great is thy faithfulness. Who's hand all I have needed?

778
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: Thy hand had providing thy hand had providing his hand.

779
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 3: But who who's hand had to practice? Yeah?

780
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: She's all right.

781
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, they give me that holiday energy, and I got

782
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 9: that holy ghost annoying to I said, y'all.

783
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 3: Give me that holiday energy, and I got that holy

00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:15,600

Speaker 3: my Bible today. What'd you get out of it?

832
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: Nothing? I'm in steadiness school.

833
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: I study when I don't see anything in the scripture.

834
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 3: I study when it looks like pig Latin. I'll study

835
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 3: when it looks like Japanese characters, and I speak English.

00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: I study because I'm a steady God help me.

837
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,359

838
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 3: God was gonna do this. This is point number one.

839
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 3: Oh no, just there's just coming. Man, It's coming suddenly

840
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:11,480

00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 3: When I get my mind made up that I want

842
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 3: to be set free from this addiction, God will send keys.

843
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 3: I'll know when I need to. You tried it before hey,

844
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 3: look at me, dove's nest. It's going to be different

845
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 3: this time, but this is my fourth time. I'm forty

846
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 3: seven years old. I didn't ask you about your age.

847
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 3: Stop giving me information. I didn't ask you for I

848
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 3: asked are you ready? Are you ready to experience the

849
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 3: person that is beneath those patterns that keep pulling you

850
00:53:53,440 --> 00:54:00,240
Speaker 3: back down? Because if you're ready, God has a steady hand.

851
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 3: And even if you fall again, that's what the steady

852
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 3: hand is for. So let's go forward and let's flow

853
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 3: in it, because you'll know when you're supposed, you'll know

854
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 3: when you need to.

855
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: And this is the other thing God gave me.

856
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 3: And we might need a part two of this sermon,

857
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 3: but the Lord told me to tell you one more thing.

858
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: Before I get off this stage.

859
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 3: The prophet looked at the musician. He said, play go

860
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 3: at play LJ play play play play play. He said,

861
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 3: play play play, And then it happened when the musician played,

862
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 3: that's a steady hand. That's a man who has practiced

863
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: his scales. That's a man who has learned his courts.

864
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 3: That's a man who has learned his character. That is

865
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 3: a woman that has learned how to apologize. A man

866
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 3: who has learned how to say I'm sorry. That is

867
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 3: a trained player who knows how to get back up again.

868
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 3: I hear you, Laurid. That's why Ella got that scholarship.

869
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 3: You didn't expect it. That's why she was practicing since

870
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 3: she was eight. That's why she got the scholarship. A

871
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 3: steady hand, a sudden scholarship, And then somebody will have

872
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 3: the nerve to say, wasn't she lucky?

873
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 1: No, she was steady, but I'm not.

874
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 3: You're not talking to me because I'm not stable, because

875
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 3: I'm that other person you're talking about.

876
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not talking just about your hand, You're

877
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: talking about his.

878
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 3: Do you remember who was in the upper room and

879
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 3: Acts two, verse two, the first verse I read you.

880
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't say in the verse. I don't know if

881
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: you remember. I had to think about it for a

882
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: moment myself. It said, Acts chapter two, verse two.

883
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna come up suddenly, I promise it is. It's

884
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 3: gonna be slow, then sudden. Oh that's the word of

885
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 3: the lord businessman in my church. I don't even know

886
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 3: how many millions of dollars of business he's done.

887
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 1: He said, make sure you tell the church.

888
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 3: It was slow, steady, sudden, slow, steady, sudden. We saved

889
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 3: for years, we tied for years. We lived beneath our

890
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 3: means for years. We went through cycles. We went through

891
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 3: the two he's a homebuilder. We went through the two

892
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 3: thousand and eight crisis, and it was slow, but we

893
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 3: were steady. And then it was sudden. And then he

894
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,240
Speaker 3: used the word. I want you to hear this, he said,

895
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 3: And now God has a stewarding more than we could

896
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 3: have ever imagine. I don't know if I remind you

897
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: of this enough, because I'm telling you, do the work,

898
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 3: do the work, do the work, do the work.

899
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: And I want you to.

900
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 3: But what I need you to know is that God

901
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 3: can do stuff suddenly that you had given up on.

902
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 3: Receive it. If it's your word, put it in your phone.

903
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 3: If it's not, it will be.

904
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: One day, and when you need that.

905
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 3: Word for your life, it will be there for you.

906
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: This is how God works.

907
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 3: He plants things that we need based on things that

908
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 3: only he sees.

909
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: Every experience that I've been through, I can look back

910
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: on it.

911
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 3: But see I'm not just looking back on things that

912
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 3: I've been through and saying that was the hand of God.

913
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 3: I'm needing to believe forward into what I don't know

914
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 3: that about yet, so that it's not just twenty years

915
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 3: later where I say, well, I guess it was God

916
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 3: that sent me to that college.

917
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: But it's me saying while I'm wondering, does anybody see me?

918
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 3: Does anybody know me? Does anybody care that I'm doing this?

919
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 3: So back in that upper room, you know, Jesus has

920
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 3: been gone ten days. He rose forty days before that

921
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: ten It's been fifty days since the resurrection. The Bible

922
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 3: says in Acts, chapter two, verse two, and suddenly there

923
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 3: came a sound from heaven.

924
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 14: And suddenly there came a sound as if a mighty

925
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 14: rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they

926
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 14: were sitting.

927
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: Now there's a whole sermon.

928
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 3: In that day, because sitting in that house was a

929
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 3: guy named Simon Peter. He wasn't very steady. Fifty days earlier.

930
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 3: He fell down pretty bad fifty days earlier. I don't

931
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 3: know who I'm preaching to, but you stumbled pretty bad

932
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 3: in this last season. The Lord said, you need to

933
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 3: know that he's steady when you stumble. They Peter, What's

934
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 3: Peter gonna do? He already made a fool of himself,

935
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 3: nothing but preach on the day of Pentecost and see

936
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: three thousand converts. Are you telling me God can't still

937
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 3: use you in this season because you've got bresidas. Are

1000
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 3: how good God is. He went from kings not having

1001
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 3: anything to drink. He says, when God gets done with

1002
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 3: the situation, not only you, but your cattle and your.

1003
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 16: Animals may drink. God said, I'm gonna do it so big.

Speaker 16: You're gonna be there for other people.

1008
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 3: And that's why God gave me the word, because there

1009
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,959
Speaker 3: have been seasons in my life when I.
