Speaker 1: I bring you greetings from Valentine. It's not technically it's Charlotte,

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: but it's not anyway. I bring you greetings today. Wherever

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: you are in the world, we know that God is

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: going to speak to you for the season that you're in.

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: He is going to supply every need that you have.

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: I don't know what you need today, but God knows.

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Put it in the chat. God knows what I need.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: And some of the things you need you can't mention.

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: You can't put those in the chat. That's all right.

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: God knows those needs too. And sometimes you don't even

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: know you need it. In that rise, sometimes you don't

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: even know you need it, and then God just bypasses

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: what you think you need to give you what you

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: really need that you didn't know to ask for. Praise

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the Lord. Well, can't you tell that I'm excited and full? Yeah,

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm full. I'm full. I feel full. I feel full today.

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: I want to share a message with you. You You can

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: be seated. I want to share a message with you

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: from a passage of scripture that God had me on

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: a path to study for quite a while. It took

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: me a while to find what he wanted to say

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: in this passage, but wow, when I saw it. Okay,

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Are you ready? Okay? Are you ready? Yeah,

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: you're ready. See the kids aren't running around. You've got

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: them on the kids YouTube channel and all that. You

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: got them locked in the basement, whatever doesn't matter. You

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: got them on Netflix, it doesn't matter. Just get rid

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: of them for a minute. Let's talk, all right, because

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: you need this. You need this, and you have to

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: feed yourself first or you won't have strength to feed others.

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: So let's make sure before we started another week that

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: we really get what God wants us to have. This

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: is an important word. In Mark chapter six, the miracle

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: known as the Feeding of the five thousand is recorded.

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: It's not only recorded in Mark chapter six, but I'm

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: going to begin there. It's recorded in all four Gospels,

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: each account giving us a different angle on who Jesus is.

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: And what he does. How many know that as you

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: go through life, you see Jesus from different angles, you

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: see God from different angles, and it opens your understanding.

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: The old hymn said, thou changest not, and he doesn't change.

47
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: But the way we see him has to always expand.

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: If we see him from the same point of view

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: that we saw him when we were thirteen, we're probably

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: missing something if we're thirty one. And in the process

51
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: of revealing himself to his disciples, Jesus was very responsible

52
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: not to give them too much at one time, and

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: that was part of his compassion too. He was more

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: than enough, but he never gave them more than they

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: could handle. As he ministered to them, he did so

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: strategically in stages. So when he showed them in John's Gospel,

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: for instance, which i'll reference a little bit later, who

58
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: he was through what we call the iam statements, it

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: was a continuation of the same thing that God began

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: to show Moses when he said I am that I am.

61
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: It left a blank that Jesus would fill in, not

62
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: through just what he said, but what he showed and

63
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: what he did. Every time he demonstrated something, he declared

64
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: something and He did that so that we could not

65
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: only hear it, but so that we could own it

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: and know it and get it deep down inside of us.

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: This particular miracle is connected with the first I Am

68
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: statement of Jesus that's in the Gospel of John, and

69
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: I want to read it to you from Mark, because

70
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: there's a phrase that really, really really got my attention

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: this week, and I want to see if you can

72
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: find it. It says in Mark, chapter six, verse twenty nine,

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: will start with twenty nine. On hearing of this, John's

74
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: disciples came and took his body and laid it in

75
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: a tomb. The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: him all they had done and taught. Then everybody say, then, then,

77
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: because so many people, everybody say, so many people were

78
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: coming and going that they did not even have a

79
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: chance to eat. He said to them, come with me

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.

81
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: So they went away by themselves in a boat to

82
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: a solitary place with no Wi fi, to a place.

83
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: But many who saw them leaving recognize them. You remember

84
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: when the kids were a little holly and we used

85
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: to wonder, do they have a radar that knows when

86
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: we lay down to take a nap so that they

87
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: can start screaming and wake up. Remember, it's like they

88
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: just knew and they would just start the moment we

89
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: were finally starting to rest, they would they would wake up. Thanks, guys,

90
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: that was fun. That's a stage of parenting you go through.

91
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: And the hungry crowds are kind of like my kids,

92
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: Like they just the moment that Jesus is moving away,

93
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: they're already their way. Have you ever had a problem

94
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: waiting for you and you weren't prepared for it when

95
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: you got there? Yeah? Did you notice that trouble doesn't

96
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: schedule an appointment when it comes? How many of you

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: bad things? Ask you? Is this a good time before

98
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: they happen? Are you feeling rested, because today we would

99
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: like to test your faith? No? No, no. The crowd

100
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: was what waiting when they found out Jesus was leaving

101
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: to get away. The crowd was waiting when they got there.

102
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's waiting for you this week,

103
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: and neither do you. So you got to get this

104
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: word right now now. Don't need my stool today, move

105
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: this stool. You got to get this word right now,

106
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: right now, right now, right now, because you don't know

107
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: what's waiting this week. Now. I believe that's why you

108
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: tuned in, because God wants to give you a word

109
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: that'll last you all week, no matter what is waiting. Now.

110
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: Watch this. Jesus was the word. And when he went

111
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: to the place where he was taking the disciples to

112
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: get alone, there was a crowd. When they went away,

113
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: many who saw them recognize them and ran on foot

114
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

115
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: And here's the part of the passage that you may

116
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: be more familiar with. When Jesus first thirty four landed

117
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them

118
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: because they were like sheep without a shepherd, so leaving

119
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: and teaching them many things. By this time it was late.

120
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: How long did Jesus talk so long? This sermon was

121
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: so long? Watch how long it was. His disciples came

122
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: to him and said, these people are about to pass out,

123
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: and there's no Chick fil A, and so you need

124
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 1: to send them away because this is a remote place

125
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: and it's already very late. So send them away so

126
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: they can go to the surrounding cities or the surrounding

127
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat. But

128
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: he answered, you give them something to eat. They said

129
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: to him that would take eight months of a man's wages.

130
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Are we to go and spend that that much on

131
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: bread and give it to them to eat? How many

132
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: loves do you have? He asked, go and see, thank

133
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: you Lord. When they found out, they said, five and

134
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: to fish. Then everybody say. Then Jesus directed them to

135
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: have all the people sit down in groups on the

136
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds

137
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: and fifties, taking the five loaves and the two fish,

138
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: and looking up to heaven. He gave thanks and broke

139
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples, and

140
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: they set them before the people. He also divided the

141
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: two fish among them. All they all ate and were satisfied.

142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: One version says they ate as much as they wanted. Yeah,

143
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: And all the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken

144
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: pieces of bread and fish. The number of the men

145
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: who ate was about five thousand. The title I want

146
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: to use comes from verse thirty eight, part be put

147
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: it back on the screen please. I want to talk

148
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to you today about when they found out when they

149
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: found out. Are there any parents in the room today?

150
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: You got kids? Aaron Lj's got kids? How many to

151
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: anybody out anybody here? How many? Show me on your fingers?

152
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: How many you did? Five? Yeah, chunks did five. I

153
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: don't know what he's planning for the future, some adoption

154
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: in the works or something like that, Holly, if you

155
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: hold up anything other than three and you're yeah, okay.

156
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: So I was talking to a couple on our staff

157
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: the other day who's having their first baby, and they

158
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: were so excited. And I know this sounds bad, but

159
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: I get excited for people when they're having their first kid,

160
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: and then after that whatever, you know, because once you

161
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: have once you have one, your life is already you know,

162
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: just so. But when it's their first I get excited.

163
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: And Holly always sends a gift to everybody on our

164
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: staff who has a baby. But they were so excited.

165
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they were so like first time parent excited.

166
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: And I said, you guys are sure excited. And I'm

167
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: not one of these guys who says, get rid of

168
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: they're going to ruin your life, because kids are, you know,

169
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: obviously the best thing that ever happened to me seventy

170
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: percent of time. And I said, y'all are so excited,

171
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: and they said yeah, and we're going Monday to find

172
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: out what it is. And I thought, no, you're not.

173
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: You're not gonna find out what it is Monday. I

174
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: know what you mean that you're gonna get some blue

175
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: or pink balloons. And by the way, since I'm in

176
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: my old man stage of ministry, now, these gender reveal parties,

177
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: we didn't do all that, So I mean, don't feel

178
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: any pressure if you don't have the money to shoot

179
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: a baby seal out of a cannon to show everybody

180
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: what people do. This is the crazy stuff I see.

181
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Our gender reveal party was call my mom in the

182
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: parking lot after the ultrasound. That was the gender reveal party.

183
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: That's how happy we were to find out you were

184
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: a boy. It's a boy. That was it. And then

185
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: we went home and save money. But watch this, We're

186
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: gonna find out what it is. Just the way they

187
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: said it. It stuck with me because we often think

188
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: that we're gonna know exactly what it is. See, the

189
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: doctor has this thing that he can show you, or

190
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: she can show you. Maybe they can show you the gender,

191
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: but you will not know what it is just based

192
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: on male or female. You will not know quote what

193
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: it is just based on There is no sonogram that

194
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: can show you how much love you are going to

195
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: have for this human being who is going to rip

196
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: your heart out of your chest and carry it around

197
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: with them through all of their decisions of life. There's

198
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: no way you can see that on a sonogram. There

199
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: is some stuff you can't see on your sonogram. We're

200
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna find out what it is. I nodded. I was like, cool,

201
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: it was great. You know. No, you're not. No, you're not.

202
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: We often expect to see what it is before we

203
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: even bring it forth. We want to know what it is.

204
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: And they found out it was a boy on Monday,

205
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: but they didn't find out whether the boy's eyes were

206
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: blue on Monday. You find that out progressively, right, it's progressive.

207
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: Being a parent is progressive. You find out, you go, oh,

208
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: my kid's so quiet. I thought Graham was quiet for

209
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: the first five years of his life. I thought he

210
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: was quiet for the first five years of his life.

211
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: He won't shut up. Now he turns thirteen this month.

212
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: He won't shut up. He's making me take him to

213
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: Great Wolf Lodge for his birthday. That's torment that only

214
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: a loving parent would endure. And I'm doing it for

215
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: him because I love him. I didn't know how much

216
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: I would love him. On a sonogram, I didn't know

217
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: his personality just because I knew whether he was, you know,

218
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: blue or pink, or a boy or a girl. You

219
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. And the challenge of life

220
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: is understanding that you don't really know what is inside

221
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: of you, what is inside of others, what is inside

222
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: of your gift. See, they can tell you the gender

223
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: of your kid with an ultrasound, but they can't tell

224
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: you the gifts life has to bring that for it.

225
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: They can tell you what it is, they can tell

226
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: you what it is on a surface level, but they

227
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: can't tell you what's in it. See, that's gonna take time,

228
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna take maturity, that's gonna take I was a

229
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: punk rocker when I was fourteen. I'm a preacher when

230
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm forty. My mom didn't know what I was until

231
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: I became it. Now, Jesus did not become anything. I'll

232
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: prove it. In the beginning was the word, and the

233
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: word was with God. And the word was God. Somebody

234
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: say he already was. He didn't become sufficient, he didn't

235
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: become the Word. He already was, but they didn't know

236
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: what he was until they walked with them enough to

237
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: see it in stages. And this is kind of the

238
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: first stage of that for the disciples, where he is

239
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: showing them I am the Bread of life. He already

240
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: was already was, but they didn't know it yet. He

241
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: already was already was. So you know how this passage

242
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: is like so familiar. How many sermons have you heard

243
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: about the feeding of the five thousand? If this is

244
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: the first time you've heard about it, you have never

245
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: been within five miles of a church. And that's fine too.

246
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: How many sermons have you heard? I love y'all so much,

247
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: But how many sermons have you heard about the context?

248
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: See the first verse? I read a man named John.

249
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: This is not John who wrote the Gospel of John.

250
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: This is John, the Baptist who got his head cut

251
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: off for confronting Harot and tell him you shouldn't sleep

252
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: with your your brother's wife. That John, the one who

253
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: ate locust and honey and prepared the way for Jesus.

254
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: That John, the one who was born six months earlier.

255
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: They didn't have gender reveal sonograms at that point. But

256
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: they didn't need a gender reveal because when the Angel

257
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: came to Zachariah in the temple, he said, you're gonna

258
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: have a boy, and you're gonna name him John. And

259
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: Zacharia says, it's not possible. I'm too old for that.

260
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: And the moment you start telling God what's not in you,

261
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: the one who made you doesn't know what's in you,

262
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: the Angel said, you're not gonna speak until the day

263
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: your baby's born. And that's what it was. And when

264
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: they gave the baby the name, the father spoke. He

265
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: said his name is John. They said, there's nobody in

266
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: your family called John. He said, I'm not going off

267
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: of external, I'm going off of internal. This is what

268
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: God told me. This is what God spoke right that John.

269
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: When he died, his disciples buried him. He didn't have

270
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: many disciples left because he gave all of his disciples

271
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: to Jesus. He told all of his members to go

272
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: to another church, and they did. He said, I must

273
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: become less, he must become greater. When he found the Messiah,

274
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: the one he had looked for he said, that's the

275
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: one he gave up what he thought was important once

276
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: he found what was really significant, that John, that John

277
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: who died at the hands of Herod's ego, who was beheaded,

278
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: That John when he died. The Disciples brought the news

279
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: to Jesus, and Jesus wanted to get away when he

280
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: found out what had happened to John. He he withdrew

281
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: when he found out right. But see, John and Jesus

282
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: had a special relationship because John knew who Jesus was

283
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: before they ever met physically. When Elizabeth was six months

284
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: pregnant and Mary found out she was pregnant, the first

285
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: thing she did was go find Elizabeth, her cousin, who

286
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: was also pregnant. And Elizabeth says, the weirdest thing. And

287
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: you only understand this if it's ever happened to you,

288
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: and you don't have to be a woman to understand this.

289
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: You can understand it on a spiritual level, she said.

290
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: As soon as you got here, the baby that was

291
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: inside of me started dancing. My baby started walking on water,

292
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: My baby started doing the Tutsi slide. The moment I

293
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: heard your voice, my baby started dancing on the inside

294
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: of me. So it's crazy how sometimes you know things

295
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: before you should know them. Let me give you an

296
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: example of that. Some of you know right now that

297
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: God's hand is on your child, but you can't see

298
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: evidence of that yet. But you still know. And some

299
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: things can't be shown. They have to be known by

300
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: the spirit of God. Some things you know before you

301
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: can show. Like I know this sermon is gonna hit

302
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: your heart today, but you don't know that yet. But

303
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: God showed it to me, and I know what's in

304
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: me before I give it to you. That's very powerful,

305
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: because if you wait on circumstances to validate God's voice,

306
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: you might be waiting a long time. No no, no,

307
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: Faith says, I know it before you show it. I

308
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: know it on the inside before I see it on

309
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: the outside. And whoever this is for today, God has

310
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: shown you something that eyes cannot see, that ears cannot hurt,

311
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: that cannot enter in the heart of a man. But

312
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: you know it by the spirit of God. John knew

313
00:18:54,359 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: who Jesus was while they were still both embryonic. This

314
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: might not be good to you, but it's good to

315
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: me because you've got to know that. You know that,

316
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: you know that, you know that God is with you.

317
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: You've got to know that, you know that, you know that,

318
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: you know that He's spoken. You've got to know that

319
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: you know that, you know that, you know that what

320
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: He gave you is enough. So when you face a

321
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: circumstance that challenges your dependency and you find yourself in

322
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: a season of definite a deficiency, you will know definitely

323
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: that God is with you. Give him a praise if

324
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: you know he's good. Of course, none of the disciples

325
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: really knew what Jesus was carrying, not only the purpose

326
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: that he carried to die on the cross for their sins.

327
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: They didn't know that yet. They found that out later.

328
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: They followed him as he performed miracles. But only he

329
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: really knew what he was carrying the burden of it.

330
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: In fact, the Bible says something interesting. It says that

331
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: John's disciples came and told you Jesus that John was dead,

332
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: But it doesn't say that Jesus told the disciples. He

333
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: told them, let's go rest. He carried it alone. I

334
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: want to speak to somebody today who's carrying something alone.

335
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: Maybe you're the provider for your family, Maybe you're dealing

336
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: with something right now that isn't public material to carry

337
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: something alone. That's what I felt from Jesus, that he

338
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: was carrying something like Mary was carrying him. Now he's

339
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: carrying something, not only the news of John's death, but

340
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: also the potential of the ministry, because in the text

341
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: we read it said it was going really good with

342
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: the ministry of Jesus, but the ministry of John ended.

343
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: And that made me think about how you can be

344
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: getting good news in one ear and bad news in

345
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: the other, and learning how to balance. That is the

346
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: essence of faith. You carry on one hand, sometimes a

347
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: blessing that's so heavy you can barely carry it. You

348
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: carry with the other hand a doubt or a question,

349
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: and that balance is what keeps you walking straight. Jesus

350
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: goes away, the crowds find out they meet him there. Surprise, Jesus,

351
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: we want to be healed. Surprise, Jesus, we're interrupting your vacation.

352
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: This is like your in laws and everybody else you

353
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: don't want to see showing up on your vacation. Not

354
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: only that, but there's five thousand men and women and children,

355
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: and Jesus looked up and he saw them. He saw

356
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: he didn't see him as a crowd. He saw them

357
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: with compassion. That amazes me that God knows exactly what

358
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: you've been going through this week, because like to me,

359
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: I'm looking in one camera. God doesn't see a crowd

360
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: on the other side of the reads. He sees where

361
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: you're hungry, and he sees where you hurt. Do you

362
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: believe that? I don't know if you do. I think

363
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people think that Jesus loves them like

364
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: it's a group insurance policy, like he just covers everybody

365
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: with his blood. No, No, that the power is that

366
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: he sees the one. We would talk about the five thousand,

367
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: but he would talk about the one and one at

368
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: a time. He healed everybody that needed healing. And then,

369
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: although you know the story, bear with my folly a

370
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: moment he says to them, we need to feed them.

371
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: And the disciples start calculating, how many of you are overpackers, overpackers,

372
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: overpackers of the world unite? How many suitcases does it

373
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: take us to get away for three days? Right? So

374
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: many suitcases? And it's not her, it's me. I'm worse

375
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: than her. Stereotyper okay is me? Now? The reason I

376
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: mentioned it is because it would have been one thing.

377
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: If Jesus would have told the disciples, we're gonna feed

378
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: these people before they got there. When did they find

379
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: out that he wanted to feed them after it was

380
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: too late to do anything about it? Have you ever

381
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: felt like that with God? If God, y'all are so

382
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: fake today, I don't know what's going on. Did you

383
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: miss me so much that you can't forgot how to

384
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: respond to a sermon? Have you ever thought God, if

385
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: you would have told me that they were going to

386
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: leave me, I wouldn't have loved him so much. Now

387
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: it's too late for me not to love him. They're gone,

388
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: and they took my love with them. If you would

389
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: have told me it would be like this, I would

390
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: have made preparations. I would have packed sandwiches. We could

391
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: have hired a catering company. We could have got some

392
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: Jersey Mikes to go Bucks. We could have done this right.

393
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell me beforehand? They found out about

394
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: the need after it was too late to meet it.

395
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: That's a fine time to find out. Why didn't God

396
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: tell all of us preachers that our churches weren't gonna

397
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: be able to have people at him for seventeen years

398
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: before we built all our buildings. I could have built

399
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: this thing for less money, a lot less money. Why

400
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: didn't he tell me that? Why didn't he tell you?

401
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: That's your kid? Wasn't it a he's straight in their path?

402
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: Something being prepared? Why does the some searches go off road?

403
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Why does some stuff just he he didn't why he

404
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't tell them what he had in mind? But that

405
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he didn't know it. Come on, you know

406
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: this about God by now? He said, I know all

407
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: the plans I have for you. Subtext you don't. This year,

408
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: the word of God over most of our lives has

409
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: been haha. That's him laughing at everything that we set

410
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: a schedule for. When we do our year in series

411
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: this year, I thought I might call it ha ha

412
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: ha ha ha ha. That's God laughing at everything that

413
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: we said we were going to do in twenty twenty.

414
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: And God says, I get the last laugh, don't you think? Now?

415
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: I'm just asking a question, what do you think the

416
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: personality of Jesus was? I think Jesus' personality was fully

417
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: God and fully man enough that when he asked Philip

418
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: in John's Gospel, what are we going to do to

419
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: feed all these people? Or rather, he asked him, where

420
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: are we going to buy enough bread? Everybody say enough, enough, enough,

421
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: enough enough. That's a big word right now in pop culture.

422
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: It's a big word. Everybody's saying you are enough. But

423
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: the problem with saying that that you are enough on

424
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: that level is just because I say that you're enough,

425
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: doesn't you feel like you're enough? So Jesus first takes

426
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: Philip through this process. Okay, and this may be the

427
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: process you're going through. He addresses the fact that they

428
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: cannot buy enough bread to meet the need that's in

429
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: front of them. Are you there right now? Okay, you

430
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: can't buy enough. Philip starts calculating. Philip wants to be

431
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: the CFO. Philip wants to be the accountant. Philip wants

432
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: to plan it. He said, eight months wages, that's two

433
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: hundred denarii. That's a day laborer's wage. Would not be

434
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: enough for each person to have a bite a bite,

435
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: a bite if we took a half a year's wages.

436
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: Because he's calculating what he thinks they need for the

437
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: situation there in it and most of us are pretty

438
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: good at that. How many of you. You know something

439
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: that you need from God right now. Now, I want

440
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: to show you the verse in John because it's so

441
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: so powerful. He said, if we bought there, it is

442
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread

443
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: for each one to have a bite. And then in

444
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: verse eight, yeah, another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,

445
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: spoke up verse nine, here's a boy with five small

446
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: barley loaves and two small fish. But how far will

447
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: they go among so many? Now stay with me. This

448
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: is where it gets good. I have a Fillip inside

449
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: of me, and I have an Andrew inside of me.

450
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll want to find another church because I have

451
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: dual personalities. Philip is a calculator. Philip's job and this

452
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: way he does all the time. To me. He starts

453
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: counting all the stuff that I need that I don't

454
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: have yet. It's going to take this, and it's going

455
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: to take that. And you don't have this staff membery,

456
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: and you don't have that person, and you don't have

457
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: that thing, you don't have that gift, you don't have

458
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 1: that ability. You're not good at this, You're not good

459
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: at best. The devil started messing with me yesterday because

460
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: I can't play basketball. When has anybody ever needed me

461
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: to play basketball? I was feeling good about myself one moment,

462
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: and this is what I asked Graham. I said, when,

463
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: what was the point when you found out that your

464
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: dad was a bad athlete? He said, Dad, I don't know.

465
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: For the long time I thought you were a beast.

466
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: But he goes, you're pretty good at lifting weights like

467
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: a consolation prize. I said, but when was the moment

468
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: that you knew see, because you don't know it all

469
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: at once. His revelation of his dad grew when he

470
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: was two, I was lebron. I was lebron when he

471
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: was two. But he said, Dad, it took me I

472
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: realized how bad you sucked this sports in stages. It

473
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: took me a while to realize how actually bad you

474
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: were at anything with a ball. But he knows now

475
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: she didn't, but he found out. Hey, how many of

476
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: you lived your life in fear that when are they

477
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna find out that I don't know what I'm doing?

478
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: When are they gonna find out that I don't have

479
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: a clue. Some of you in your job right now,

480
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning, you feel some in

481
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: your stomach. What are you feeling? Is the day gonna

482
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: be the day they're gonna find out? You're not stealing

483
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: money or anything. You just feel like you're stealing intellectual

484
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: space because of the fact that they think they know

485
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: more than you do. You feel like, isn't it crazy

486
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: how they didn't find out untill they ran out? Why

487
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: would Jesus do them like that? Once they became empty?

488
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: And I was studying the text because I was like,

489
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: okay when they found out, and I was connecting that

490
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: in a couple of different ways following me. When they

491
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: found out that John the Baptist had been killed, they moved.

492
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: They retre so that Jesus wouldn't be taken by forced

493
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: as king because he didn't come for an earthly kingdom

494
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: and he's got work to do. When he went through,

495
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: they found out he was going to be there, and

496
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: we're waiting welcome Jesus. When the disciples found out that

497
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: there wasn't much daylight left, they tried to send them

498
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: away because there's not no door dash out here on

499
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: this mountain. And the Bible says something so powerful, go

500
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: back to March six thirty eight. I can't wait to

501
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: show you this, Philip said, this is what we need.

502
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: Jesus asked the question, how many loves do you have?

503
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: Go and see when they found out, when they found

504
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: out what they already had, not when they figured out

505
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: what they thought they needed. God doesn't need me to

506
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: figure out how. He just needs me to find out what.

507
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: Y'all better shout if you don't know what you're doing,

508
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: because it is good news. Some of you have no

509
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: idea how. They didn't either, But when they found out

510
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: what was already there. Jesus did not become bred. He

511
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: already was. He didn't become enough. He already was. You

512
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: don't have to go get peace, it's already ours. You

513
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: don't have to become righteous, you already are. You don't

514
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: have to find a reason to rejoice, You've already got

515
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: one when you'll discover what God already put inside of you.

516
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: So the moment of discovery is not the moment of deposit.

517
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: It already was what it was. Nobody came with five

518
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: loaves and two fish at that moment. It was there

519
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: the whole time, but it took them walking through the crowd.

520
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: You got anything, you got, anything, you got anything you got,

521
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: anything you got anything, you got anything, You got anything?

522
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: You got anything? You got anything? How long are we

523
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna do this? Man? Nobody's got anything, and if they do,

524
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: they're not offering you got anything? You got anything? So

525
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: time you got to walk around your life and take inventory.

526
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: You got to walk around your own soul and take inventory.

527
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: You could say, oh my soul, why are you discouraged?

528
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Why are you downcast? You got anything to praise? Before

529
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: you got anything to prais before you got anything? You

530
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: got anything? You got anything? Somebody saying the chat, have

531
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: you got anything? Have you got anything? Have you got anything?

532
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: Have you got anything? Have you got anything? Have you

533
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: got anything? Have you got anything? Because you've always got

534
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: plenty of something? You know what's weird? Can I show

535
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: you something that only Bible nerds appreciate? Only Mike Todd

536
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: will love this point like this for me and you?

537
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: Why did John say in John six there was plenty

538
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: of grass in that place. That's stupid thing to put

539
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: in a story. Who cares about the grass? Can't eat grass?

540
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he wanted us to see that you've always got

541
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: plenty of something of something. You've always got plenty of

542
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: something when you don't have a job, and you don't

543
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: have plenty of money. Now you've got plenty of time.

544
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: I was laughing so much when everybody who prayed for

545
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: God to give them I just need Lord, I need

546
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: more time with my family. And then God gave it

547
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: to you. He gave you plenty. How many of your

548
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: moms that are homeschooling are having plenty? So much so?

549
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: How much time? So so much? Grass? Green grass? Mark said,

550
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: green Grass, did you see that in the text? Green Grass?

551
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: Why are you telling me that maybe you're trying to

552
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: call me back to the twenty third sosng that the

553
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want He

554
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: leads me besides still waters, he restoreth my soul. He

555
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: leads me into green pastures. So God said, what is

556
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: your pasture? What do you have? That was the question? Right?

557
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: Is that in the text? What do you have? Go

558
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: and see? And when they found out? I wonder is

559
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: this going to be the day you find out? We

560
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: don't find out usually all at once. I should tell

561
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: you that we find out in fragments. You don't know

562
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: why you're going through anything while you're going through it. Now,

563
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: most of the time, even when you're succeeding. You don't

564
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: really know you're succeeding while you're succeeding, because you're struggling

565
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: while you succeeding. Well, that's true of everybody. I watch

566
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: all these documentaries of classic albums. Fleetwood mac rumors good

567
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: music like that, none of this current crap that you

568
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: kids are going around calling music. This is real music. Vinyl.

569
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: They asked Mick Fleetwood, how did it feel when you

570
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: were making rumors? He said, it was terrible. We were

571
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: all breaking up and fighting, and we were high all

572
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: the time and coming down and high, coming high. He said,

573
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't until we heard all twelve tracks

574
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: that we said this is a pretty good album. Is

575
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: sold thirty million copies. How did it feel why you

576
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: were writing the album? How did it feel while you

577
00:35:50,800 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: were recording it. I'm raising world changers, changing world diapers.

578
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: That doesn't feel You don't know what it is. You

579
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: don't know what changes as well. It's happening. I need

00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: How many do you have? How many do you have?

611
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: How many do you have? Put it in the chat?

612
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: How many do you have? Oh, that's not the message,

613
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: that is not my sermon. Sit down, because that's what

614
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: Jesus told the people to do. Sit down. How many

615
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: do you have? They said five and two? They threw

616
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: in the fishes an afterthought. I think that's really funny.

617
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if they were saving those for themselves. Who knows,

618
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: but I know this. Mark wrote the gospel that Peter

619
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: told him to write. John wrote the gospel that he

620
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: saw with his own eyes. Thank you, Lord, y'all got

621
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: a minute? Are you full? I struggle with portion control

622
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to preach the order of the go

623
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: I'm trying to preach these five hour sermons like Mike

624
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: Todd preaches. Man, he's great, I'm going to six. Can

625
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: I get a seven? Ain't crazy? Ain't crazy that the

626
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: children of Israel had to march six days before they

627
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: found out why they were marching. What's that about? You

628
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: know why, I said Pastor Mike Todd. He didn't become

629
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: anointed when he got a great worldwide ministry. Just one

630
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: of the greatest voices. He comes to see me. After

631
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: his sabbatical. He came to see me unshaven. Yesterday, we

632
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: came in the weight room. I said, let's work out.

633
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: We did one exercise and talk the rest of the time.

634
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: That's right. We were strong in the Lord though. We

635
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: worked out our salvation with fear and trembling preacher humor.

636
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: He didn't become anointed when his platform grew. That's when

637
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: they found out. Elijah didn't become talented when he started

638
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: making beats that was in him. Now I'm just finding out.

639
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: I'm just finding out. I hadn't even found out yet.

640
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the three of you are

641
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: going to do, change the world or destroy it. I

642
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: want to find out. They'll ask them, you're going to

643
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: be a preacher like you? They shut up. She's nine.

644
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a preacher like you, Dad, And you

645
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: can do a sonogram on my daughter to try to

646
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,959
Speaker 1: find out what's in her before it's had time to grow.

647
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: And you know, people think they don't love their wife

648
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: anymore because they stopped being curious, so they thought they

649
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: needed another woman. But they didn't even find out what

650
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: they had in their own house. People might leave a

651
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: church for that reason because they didn't find out what

652
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: was there. You will send something away and not even

653
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: find out. Don't you want to find out? I do? Oh?

654
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: Come on, man, I've wanted to quit many times on

655
00:41:54,680 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: everything important God gave me. I want to quit every Monday.

656
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: But I just want to find out what God would do.

657
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: I want to find out, don't you say it in

658
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: the chat? I want to find out. I want to

659
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: find out. I want to find out. I want to

660
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: find out what God put in me. Mark Twain said

661
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: there's two important days. The day you're born, in the

662
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: day you find out why, find out why. I want

663
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: to find out why. I want to find out what

664
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: comfort he's going to minister out of the comfort he

665
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: comforted me with what the hell I went through. I

666
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: didn't go through the fire to smell like smoke. I

667
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: came through the fire to burn off what was finding

668
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: me when I went in in the first place. I

669
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: want to find out. I want to find out why

670
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: you gave me this gift. I want to find out.

671
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: Let's find out. Let's find out when we're going to

672
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: open the church again. The church is already open. Well,

673
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: when are you gonna have the people back in there?

674
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll tell you when I find out.

675
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: I look like the governor to you? Does the governor

676
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: wear a baggy corduroy short sleeve three quarter inch shirt

677
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 1: on the No, I'm not on the When we'll find

678
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: out together, we'll find out. I'm gonna find out. I

679
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: have another point. But I got to stop there. Don't

680
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 1: you want to find out? You want to go through

681
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: everything you went through and then not even find out why?

682
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: You want to come all this way through the valley

683
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: and then turn around and die there. You don't want

684
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: to find out what God could do. You want to

685
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: find out what it could be. When they found out

686
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: what they had, the miracle began. Now I gotta say

687
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: this right, because if I don't get this right, I'm

688
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna be so mad at myself. The way the Lord

689
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: showed it to me, he said, because I thought that

690
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: was the sermon, it's like cool when they found out

691
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: what they had, and people need to find out what

692
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: they already have. Okay, what gifts do you have? What

693
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: talents do you have, What passions do you have? What

694
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: resources do you have? What time do you have? Stop

695
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: focusing on what you think you need. That's Philip eight

696
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: months wages? What I did? I ask and ask you

697
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: how many months wages? I just said, where are we

698
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: going to get the bread? Go see what you already have?

699
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Five loaves, two fish. So I thought the miracle began

700
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: when they found out what they already had. And God said, no,

701
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: that's not that's not it. That's not the message. He said,

702
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: that's when they found out how many they had, five

703
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: and two You can count that they found out how

704
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: many by counting. Put John chapter six, verse nine back

705
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: up again. You ready? You're not full, are you? When

706
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: Andrews said, here is a boy with five small barley

707
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: loaves and too small fish. Barley is the cheapest grain,

708
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: and too small fish. When they found out what they

709
00:44:53,280 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: already had how many, Andrescal question, how far will they

710
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: go among so many? You ready? They found out how

711
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: many they had by counting, they didn't find out how

712
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: much it was until they put it in the hands

713
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: of Jesus. You've been thinking how many. God wants to

714
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: show you how much? And there is a big difference.

715
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: There is a big difference how many and how much?

716
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: How many you can count that one, two, three, four,

717
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: five and one two two, This is how many I have.

718
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: This is what great I dropped out of school in.

719
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: This is how many. You can count that down to

720
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: the scent in your bank account. You can count how many.

721
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: But God doesn't want to show you how many. He

722
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: wants to show you how much. And you don't find

723
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: out how much by counting. You will not figure this

724
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: out with a calculator. Watch this. They found out how

725
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: many by calculation. They had to find out how much

726
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: by faith. And here's how I know. Here's how I know,

727
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: because the Bible doesn't say that it all of a

728
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: sudden became enough. It was five, and it was two,

729
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: and it wasn't enough until they came back to Jesus

730
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: to get more. It wasn't enough all it was. And

731
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: see that's how we want it to be. God, I

732
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: want enough. I gave me enough, enough enough. That's the

733
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: problem with our concept of enough. We think that enough

734
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: happens all at once, enough happens here you go, you ready,

735
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: peace by peace, piece by peace. He did not give

736
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: them their next direction until they took inventory of what

737
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: they had right now. Why would God show you what

738
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: to do next when you won't do what you have

739
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: been called to do? Right now? What do you have?

740
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: That's how many? What can it be? That's how much?

741
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: And the only way to find that out is to

742
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: put it in his hands. I'm not done yet. I'm

743
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: not done yet. I want to break this all the

744
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: way down, just so you can't say when you get

745
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: to heaven. Pastor Furdie didn't teach me about this. I

746
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: went to elevation lodging, I subscribed to the YouTube channel.

747
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: They never taught me this. Put them both on the screen.

748
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: How many? How much? How many? How much? How many?

749
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: Calculation five and two? You can count that how much?

750
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: This is the beautiful thing. You still don't know the

751
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: answer to this one yet. How many? This is all

752
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: the crap that you've got to worry about coming up

753
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: this week? They knew how many people were in the crowd,

754
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: about five thousand. How much. That's something that you can

755
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: only find out in fragments. God shows you the purpose

756
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: of your life in pieces. So he did not perform

757
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: a miracle where it became enough all at once, and

758
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 1: he's not going to do it in your life either.

759
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: What He's going to do is to show you that

760
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: every time you come back to him, he will have

761
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 1: what you need. For right now, I needed this word.

762
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: I got a fillip inside me. Philip is really really

763
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: prominent in my personality. He's always telling me how many

764
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: I need, but he never tells me how much I have.

765
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: God said he wanted to show you how much, how much?

766
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: How much? How much? The only way for you to

767
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: find out is to take it one piece at a time.

768
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry if I'm not getting this across the

769
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: right way. How God showed it to me was so beautiful.

770
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: He said, you think it's going to become a buffet

771
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: when I touch it. I'm not going to make it

772
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: a buffet all at once, because I want you to

773
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: come back to me. I'm not going to give you

774
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 1: every answer. I'm not going to give you the five

775
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: year plan. I'm not going to do it because if

776
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: I turned it into a buffet, you would worship the

777
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: buffet bite by bite peace by peace, sufficient is today

778
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: for its own trouble. Today has enough trouble. God didn't

779
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: promise to give you enough for tomorrow. He said give

780
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: us this day our daily bread. So it's enough for now.

781
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: Thank you Lord. I got enough for now. Wait, I'm

782
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: gonna need more later, but I got enough for now,

783
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: and I want you to get this revelation. I am

784
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: the bread of life. Did you get you? I am enough.

785
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: I am so. He didn't say I will be. He

786
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: didn't say I was. Do you remember when they were

787
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: in the wilderness and they ate manna? How much did

788
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: they get enough for it today? You know what happened?

789
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: If they tried to save today's manna for tomorrow's hunger,

790
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: it would get maggots in it. You got maggots in

791
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: your mind from worrying about tomorrow. Oh my God, that's nasty.

792
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: You got maggots in your mind because you're trying to

793
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: save it for tomorrow. Enough enough, it's enough right now,

794
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: it's enough for now. I have enough strength now for now.

795
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: I have enough resource now for now. I'm not saying

796
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: don't save money. I'm not saying don't plan ahead. But

797
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: when you find yourself in a situation, and you didn't

798
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: find out you were gonna be in it till you

799
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: were in it. Trust this, He's enough for that. He

800
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: will not become bread. He is bread. He will not

801
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: become enough. You will not be enough when you get

802
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: through this stage. You will not be enough at a

803
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: time in the future. You are enough right now for

804
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 1: right now. You are enough now. You are enough today

805
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 1: for today. You are enough. Forty for forty, you are enough,

806
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: thirty for three, you are enough, single for single, you

807
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: are enough j ninety for ninety. You are enough. You

808
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 1: are enough right now for right now. It's enough for now.

809
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: I am the I'm gonna preach this all the way

810
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: to Botswana. I'm gonna preach this the Bamburg. There is

811
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: an annoying thing on this message today to tell you

812
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: that you keep counting how many, but you don't know

813
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: how much until you break it off piece by piece.

814
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: I think it stayed five and two. I don't think

815
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: it ever got more five than two now, one gospel

816
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: writer said. And then it was seven, and then it

817
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: was twelve, and then it was fifteen. That's because the

818
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,280
Speaker 1: real message has nothing to do with when they found

819
00:52:53,280 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: out what he could doom message was, I am the

820
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: bread of life. When they found out who he was,

821
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 1: it would be enough for any situation they would ever face.

822
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: When they found out, give me my title. When they

823
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: found out, when they found out how many they had,

824
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: the miracle began. But they found out how much every

825
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 1: time they went back. You mean there's still more. It's

826
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: not running out. What's going on. I made it through

827
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 1: another day. Some of y'all that's too much. I made

828
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: it through another hour. Some of y'all that's too much.

829
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: I made it through another man. Do you know? I've

830
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,959
Speaker 1: had some times that were so violent in my life,

831
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: some storms that raged so hard that I had to

832
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: take it second by second because I didn't know if

833
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: I was. But I found out I was enough all along,

834
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: and he showed it to me in stages. I found

835
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: out I was enough for now. Please don't ask me

836
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 1: about tomorrow. I don't know yet. But he's enough for now,

837
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: and you're enough for now, because he is the bread

838
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: of life. Do you know he told the crowds, He said,

839
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: you came to me because you ate something and had

840
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: your fill. But unless you eat my flesh and drink

841
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: my blood, you have no part in me what's he

842
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: talking about? You got to get it in you. You've

843
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: got to get it in you. How many that's what

844
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: you have around you? Look at it again, look at it.

845
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: How many that's what's around you? That's what you can count?

846
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: How much? Look at it? Look at the thing on

847
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: the screen. I put it up there for you. How

848
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: much that's what's in you? That will never run dry?

849
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,479
Speaker 1: If you keep coming back to this, well, you'll thirst again.

850
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: But if if you receive what I have, it'll always be.

851
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: It'll always be, It'll always be enough. I will never

852
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: run out of bread from heaven. I will never run out.

853
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: Shout it. I'll never run out. I'll never run out

854
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: because I know where the bread is. I know who

855
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: my father. You think he's gonna feed a worm and

856
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: let me die. I have a father. His name is

857
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: I Am, and he is enough. Thank you Lord for

858
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: everybody who needed this message, whether they knew they needed

859
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: it or not. I needed it so much. How much

860
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: did you need this so much? Because I got so

861
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: many questions and I got so oh many needs, and

862
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: eight months wages wouldn't feed them all. But you said

863
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: you are the bread. They found out what you could do,

864
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: and then they found out who you were, and that

865
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: means you can do it again. So I speak it

866
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: over the life of every person who needs to hear

867
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: it today. I think you that your word will not

868
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: return to your void, but accomplished that what you sent

869
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: it to do. I thank you that you are the

870
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: bread that came down from heaven, and you are not

871
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: manna that disappears every day. But you and me are enough.

872
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: My sufficiency, Christ, my all, in all peace, by peace.

873
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: Great is thy faithfulness, Oh God, my father, this is

874
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: a bad key for me. Can we go down? Great

875
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: is that? Hans see. It's not how many notes you

876
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: can hit, it is how much you mean them when

877
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: you sing them. I'll sing it with one note. There

878
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: is no shadow of turning with thee. There's there's truth

879
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: in it. I only need one note. I only need one,

880
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: So God's gonna supply for me. I felt the spirit

881
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: on that I only need one. One is enough, trust me.

882
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: One is enough. One is enough. When verse says I

883
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: all I have needed, Thy hand has provided. I was

884
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: just thinking about that. When they put it in his hands,

885
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: they saw how much it was. Do you know I

886
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: have John Mayer's guitar you've seen it, Israel, Holden gave

887
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: it to me. What's up? Israel? I went to see

888
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: John Mair play in concert. He had the same guitar.

889
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: It sounded different in his hands, six strings like mine,

890
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: same knobs, same color in his hands. Lift your hands,

891
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: slift your hands, slift your hands in his hands. It's enough.

892
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: It's enough, summer and winter and springtime and harvest thine own,

893
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: dear presence, that you're into God. Strength for today. That's

894
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: it right now. Strength for today, not ten years from now.

895
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: Strength for today, not November. Strength for today, and bride

896
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: hope for tomorrow. Blessings all mine? How much do you have?

897
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: Blessings all mine? How many? How many blessings all mine?

898
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: With ten thousand? Beside? Count them all? One two, three, four, five, six,

899
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: ten thousand, ten thousand? How many miracles one two, three, four, five, six, seven, five,

900
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: five and two than the number of completion? How many?

901
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: How many? How many blessings are mine? With ten thousand? Besides?

902
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: I can't even count them all? How many? Part in

903
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: for sin? Bring me the bread? Part in for sin

904
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: right now? Hurry, please part in for sin? You got

905
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: the break? Come on, I know there's bread here somebody say,

906
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: I know there's bread here. I know there's bread here.

907
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: I know there's bread here. I'm waiting for it. I know.

908
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: See he was ready to bring me the bread before

909
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: you even knew I needed it. Come on, you need

910
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: to glorify God. This is a holy spirit moment. Somebody

911
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: is receiving the bread. Lord, speak the sustenance of your

912
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: word right now, parton for sin? How many sins? How

913
00:59:53,400 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: many sins? And a peace? How much peace? And a

914
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: piece that endures? And a piece, a piece every time

915
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: they came back, another piece, every time they came back,

916
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: another piece, and a piece a piece. It doesn't look

917
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 1: like much, but it endures. It's gonna last, it's not

918
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: gonna run out. Just keep coming back Thine own dear presence.

919
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: That's all I need. I found out he was bred.

920
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: Everything I need is in his presence. God. I want

921
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: this word to go deep in you. So the next

922
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: you start thinking how many you can find out? How much?

923
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: How much? The only way to find out is to

924
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: keep coming back. How many miracles did the disciples see Jesus,

925
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: do give them the wide shot please in the back.

926
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: I want them to see this online. How many miracles

927
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: did they see. When did they find out how much

928
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: he loved them? It was when he gave his life

929
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: for them, And when his body was broken like the bread,

930
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: and when his blood was spilled, they realized they found

931
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: out how much? How much does he love you? How

932
01:01:55,360 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: much he showed you that already? Haven't you found out?

933
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Didn't he make a way? Wasn't he there when no

934
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: one else was? Didn't he do what you didn't even

935
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: know to ask him for the real miracle when they

936
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: found out what they had? It was when they found

937
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 1: out who he was. The bread of life is in

938
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: your living room. The bread of life is in your kitchen.

939
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: The bread of life is in the hospital. The bread

940
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: of life is in the place of your greatest need.

941
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: And peace by peace, moment by moment, day by day. Yes, Lord,

942
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I'll show you one more thing because he wants me

943
01:02:54,200 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: to show you. Can I give you one more? How

944
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: many that's plural? How much that's singular? You don't say grammatically?

945
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: How many shoes you say? How many shoes you don't

946
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: say grammatically? How much shoe you said, Jesus said, I

947
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: Am the bread of life singular. Let me give you

948
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: a minute think about first Corinthians ten seventeen. Put it

949
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: on the screen. Please, I saw this. I saw this

950
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: this morning. Because there is one loaf. We who are

951
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: many are one body, for we all share in the

952
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: one loaf. Let me tell you something today. I don't

953
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: know your situation. I don't know who left you. I

954
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: don't know what you need. God does one is enough.

955
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: If you have him, you have enough. Just keep coming back,

956
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: peace by peace, step by step, prayer by prayer, day

957
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: by day. He is more than enough. Oh yeah, you're

958
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: leaving with leftovers. Oh yeah, you know that party. Hey,

959
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 1: their biggest problem when they got to the wilderness where

960
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: we don't even have a bite. Their biggest problem after

961
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: Jesus touched the bread buzz we don't have enough baskets.

962
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: I am telling you, child of God, you're leaving with

963
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: a different level problem. You got so much joy, I

964
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: got so much pace. I got so much, so much,

965
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: so much, How great a salvation, how firm a foundation,

966
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: so much, so much. He loves you so much that

967
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: he sent his son for God so loved the world

968
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: that his body was broken on the cross. Right now,

969
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: there's someone who needs to begin a relationship with Jesus

970
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Christ I'm by you in this moment to pray with me.

971
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: There's only one loaf, there's only one name, there's only

972
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: one way. It is by grace through faith that we

973
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: are safe. And what if God sent me to preach

974
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: this whole message for you. He sees the one and

975
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: if there is one, that's enough for me to stop

976
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: right now and give you this moment, because when you

977
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: have come to the end of yourself, it is the

978
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:11,479
Speaker 1: beginning of grace. So right now, the scripture says that

979
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: if you confess your sin, he is faithful and just,

980
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: he will forgive your sin, cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

981
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord,

982
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: and believe in your heart that God raised him from

983
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: the dead, you will be saved. He is enough, He

984
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: is your bread, he is your strength. He is the door.

985
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: He is the Way, the truth, and the life. He

986
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: is the resurrection. He's all of that, and he longs

987
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: to come into your life. So bow your head and

988
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: close your eyes. If you need to put your life

989
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: in the hands of God today, I promise you it

990
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: can be so much more in his hands than it

991
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: can in yours. And right now, this is your moment

992
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: to turn it over to God. Remember, he can do

993
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: a lot with broken pieces. It doesn't matter where you've

994
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: been or what you've done. But right now, if you're

995
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: ready to give your life to Jesus Christ, I want

996
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,479
Speaker 1: you to repeat this prayer after me out loud, Heavenly Father.

997
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God

998
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: and the savior of the world. Today, I make Jesus

999
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: the lord of my life. I believe he died that

1000
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: I would be forgiven and rose again to give me life.

1001
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: I receive this new life. I am a child of

1002
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: God in Jesus name. If you just prayed that, I

1003
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: want you to put right now in the chat I

1004
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: just received Jesus. We're clapping, the angels are clapping. You

1005
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: know what the Bible says. There is rejoicing in heaven

1006
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: over one sinner. There are thousands right now who just

1007
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: came into the Kingdom of God. Come on, put it

1008
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: in the chat. I received Jesus. I received Jesus. I

1009
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: couldn't buy it, I couldn't earn it, but he did it,

1010
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: and he is enough. Come on, Let's give him thirty

1011

1014
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: and He is enough, and you are enough, and God's

1015
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: got to in his hands and he will never let
