I was in a garden shop the 39 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 5: other day and I came across some these really cute 40 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 5: little lights, solar lights, and I was looking at the 41 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 5: different styles I had, and I thought, these are so cute, 42 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 5: and I have the perfect place to put these lights. 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 5: There's a place at our side back door. When you 44 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: walk out, you begin to walk down this little path 45 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 5: and you can't see anything. It's so dark. I don't 46 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 5: have any electricity out there, so I thought these solar 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 5: lights will be perfect to place along that path so 48 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 5: that we can see at night, because I'm always stumbling 49 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 5: trying to stay on the little path. So I took 50 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 5: the lights put him in the ground. It was a 51 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 5: beautiful sunny day. I thought, these lights are going to 52 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 5: power up. It's gonna be amazing. I can't wait to 53 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 5: take a walk tonight see how my lights are working. 54 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 5: So I didn't say anything to Joel about it, but 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 5: I said, hey, let's go take a walk. So we 56 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 5: went outside started to go down that little path. I 57 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: wanted to see if he noticed my new lights. So 58 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 5: as we started walking down the path, I realized my. 59 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: Lights weren't working. 60 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 5: I didn't say anything to Joel because I didn't want 61 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 5: him to know that I had put lights there and 62 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 5: my plan had failed. So I kept walking down the path. 63 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 5: But in my mind, I was so discouraged. I thought, now, 64 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 5: I thought those lights were just gonna work beautifully. 65 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: There's solar lights. 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 5: I thought, you know what, tomorrow, I'm taking those lights 67 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 5: up and I'm marching them straight back to the store, 68 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 5: and I'm gonna tell them they're cute, but they don't work. 69 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 5: They're no good to me if they don't work. So 70 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 5: the next morning, I got up and I took the 71 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 5: lights out, and I started looking at how it was, 72 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 5: and I began to kind of examine it, and I 73 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 5: noticed under the bottom in the corner was this little 74 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 5: bitty tab. 75 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 4: I thought, I've seen this before. You're supposed to pull 76 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: the tab so. 77 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 5: That what is inside the light can be illuminated by 78 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 5: the sun. 79 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 4: That's what gives it the power. 80 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 5: So I thought, oh wow, okay, So I went and 81 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: I pulled all the tabs, put them back down, thought, 82 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: tonight is the night God. 83 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: Joel wanted him. 84 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 5: To come take a walk with me so he would 85 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: notice my lights, and sure they were shining brightly. They 86 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 5: illuminated my path. Now Joel wasn't as impressed with my 87 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 5: lights as I was, but they were working perfectly once 88 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 5: I figured out to pull the tab so that they 89 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 5: could be powered by the sun. You see, we're very 90 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 5: much like those solar lights. We have to pull our tab. 91 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 5: That means remove anything in our life that would block 92 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 5: us from allowing the sun to. 93 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: So in to shine on us. 94 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 5: You see, we have something on the inside of us, 95 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 5: and it is the seed of God. And when we 96 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 5: allow his presence to shine on us, when we do 97 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 5: all we can do to bask in his presence, get 98 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 5: more of him. We are also illuminated. See, we weren't 99 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 5: meant to stumble around in the darkness. We weren't meant 100 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 5: to not know the way to go. God's it says 101 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 5: that we were meant to shine like stars in the universe. 102 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 5: But we've got to allow the Son to shine in 103 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 5: our life. 104 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 4: See, just like that tab, we've. 105 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 5: Got to remove anything that's stopping the light from shining 106 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 5: on us. I have a tree in my backyard and 107 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 5: it's about ten inches wide. 108 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: It's a pretty big tree. 109 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 5: But it's so strange because the tree grows at an angle. 110 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 5: And I look at that tree and I think that 111 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 5: is so weird. One day I was out talking to 112 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 5: my yard man and I said, this tree grows so funny. 113 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 5: And he said, well, Victoria, the reason this tree is 114 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 5: growing at an angle is because there are so many 115 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 5: shrubs and other trees around it trying to crowd out 116 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 5: its light. This tree is literally struggling to try to 117 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,679 Speaker 5: grow towards the light. You see, the tree is doing 118 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 5: its best to survive. 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 6: Said. 120 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 5: It grows in the light, so it's struggling to get 121 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 5: to the light. Are some of you today struggling to 122 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 5: get through the light because you've allowed too many things 123 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 5: to crowd your life. Maybe busyness is crowding your life 124 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 5: from the light. Maybe you have some friends that are 125 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 5: covering your life and it's not allowing the light to 126 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 5: shine on it because they don't have the same values 127 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 5: that you have. They don't understand the importance of being 128 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 5: in the house of God, of prayer, of worship. But 129 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 5: you keep going back to those friends because they've been 130 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 5: friends for a long time. You see that yard man said, 131 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 5: if you'll prune away some of these bushes, if you'll 132 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 5: make some room for the light to come in, this 133 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 5: tree will literally quit struggling and it'll it may it 134 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 5: may just straighten up and go straight up to the sun. 135 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 4: It may grow properly. 136 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 7: See. 137 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: I want to encourage. 138 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 5: Us today to prune our lives, to look at what's 139 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 5: stopping us to be fully exposed to God, to be 140 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 5: fully walking in His presence at all times. Sometimes over commitment, 141 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 5: even of good things, can keep us from the time 142 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 5: spent with God. Busyness isn't always good. We need to 143 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 5: prune some of the busyness out of our life. You know, 144 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 5: some people don't even realize this, that unforgiveness and anger 145 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 5: can cover our life from being totally exposed to the sun. 146 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 5: You see, if we allow anger and bitterness to stay 147 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 5: around too long, guess what the sun may come up 148 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 5: in the morning. If we let the sun go down 149 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 5: on our anger, it stays too long. The sun may 150 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 5: come up in the morning, but it can't eat us 151 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 5: because we've separated ourself through bitterness, through anger, through unforgiveness. 152 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: You see, when you can't forgive, God says, how do 153 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: you expect me to forgive you? 154 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 5: You can't even see me to allow forgiveness to flow. 155 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 4: You gotta let the sun break forth. 156 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 5: Take those weeds of unforgiveness out of your life. Root 157 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 5: up that anger, don't allow it to stop the flow 158 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 5: of God in your life. 159 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 4: Pull the tabs, so to speak, and say enough is enough. 160 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 5: You see, you may be struggling today, You may be 161 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 5: struggling to grow towards the light. You can make a 162 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 5: decision to do what it takes to straighten up again. 163 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: You know, there's a scripture in the Bible that said 164 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,599 Speaker 5: the people of Israel they were so discouraged. 165 00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 4: They had so much coming against them. 166 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 5: It says that they were so discouraged they couldn't even believe. 167 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 5: They couldn't even see God in the midst of their 168 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 5: challenge because all they could see was more discouragement. They 169 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 5: kept their eyes on what was wrong instead of looking 170 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 5: at what God could do. You see that discouragement was 171 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 5: a cloud that was blocking the light. They couldn't even 172 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 5: lift their eyes and look through the cloud to see God. 173 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 5: And we have to realize discouragement when we face challenges, 174 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 5: we can't allow it to get inside of us. Discouragement 175 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 5: is like a cloud that blocks the light from our life. 176 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 5: You see, We've got to let go of discouragement and 177 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 5: let God shine his light on us. Have you ever 178 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 5: realized that maybe it had been raining several days and 179 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 5: you've been in the house a lot, or you go 180 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 5: to work and you come home at night and it's 181 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 5: gloomy and it's rainy, and it just changes your perspective. 182 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 4: You just think, man, this rain, this has got me down. 183 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: I don't know what it does. It just kind of 184 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 4: does something to our psyche. But then the light bursts forth. 185 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 5: And it's like, oh my goodness, the sunshine and you 186 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 5: begin to say, I want to go outside, I want 187 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 5: to do something. I want to get out in the sunshine. 188 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 5: It's been cloudy and rainy for far too long. You see, 189 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 5: God wants his light to burst into your life that 190 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 5: very same way. The things that you are afraid to do, 191 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 5: the things that you are stuck in. He wants that 192 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 5: light to burst in and you to move forward. But 193 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 5: you've got to remove the fear the discouragement in your 194 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 5: life so that God can burst in with his life 195 00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: and his light. Can you identify anything that's separating you 196 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 5: from letting the s in shine on you. You know, it's 197 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 5: so important that we spend time by ourselves, with ourselves 198 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 5: in God's word, time alone with God reading his word. 199 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 4: You see, the Bible is alive and powerful. The scripture 200 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 4: says it is God breathe words. They're not any words. 201 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 5: They're not like the words in a regular book, a newspaper. 202 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 5: The Bible are God breathe words. And it is so 203 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 5: important that we spend time in the Word. Now some 204 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 5: people think, well, that's okay, you know what, I listen 205 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 5: to preteen, I listen to podcasts, and I'll tell you what, 206 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 5: when you spend time in the Word, it'll. 207 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: Make that even richer. 208 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 5: They say I don't really need the Bible. I was 209 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 5: talking to a guy and he says, I don't need 210 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 5: the Bible. 211 00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 4: I got Joel. Sorry, Joel, It's true. I'll keep Joel. 212 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 5: But I was trying to explain to him the reason 213 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 5: he needs to spend time in the Word, because it's 214 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 5: a relationship with God. 215 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 7: You know. 216 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 5: Sometimes I read some scriptures, especially in the Old Testament, 217 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 5: and I truly don't understand it. 218 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: At the time I'm sitting there. 219 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 5: But you know what I do before I close my Bible, 220 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 5: I say, God, I thank you that your word is 221 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 5: alive and powerful, that it divides anything, whether I understand it. 222 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 5: That you have breathed on these words. So these words 223 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 5: are breathing back on me. They're causing me to be 224 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 5: able to rightly divide my life, to make the right choices, 225 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 5: the right decisions. Because I've spent time letting God breathe 226 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 5: on me, I can go out and breathe on my 227 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 5: life to be a to be a good steward of 228 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 5: my life, to help other people. 229 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 4: You see, it is so important. 230 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 5: The Bible says that the Word of God is a lamp, 231 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 5: and to our feet it is a light, and to 232 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 5: our path. 233 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 4: It will shine you in the right direction. 234 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 5: Don't think, well, I didn't get anything out of the 235 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 5: word today, because let me tell you, if you'll store 236 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 5: that word up, God'll bring it to life in you. 237 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 5: He'll bring it to life in you. But you got 238 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: to take time to sit and be with God. Ten 239 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 5: minutes a day, start right there. You know, sometimes we 240 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 5: got to get out of the house. Whatever it takes, 241 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 5: get up ten minutes earlier. When I was a young girl, 242 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 5: I remember me and my friends, we like to worship 243 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 5: the sun. We didn't realize, you know, you're supposed to 244 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 5: put sunscreen. We put oil all over us. We'd do 245 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 5: five minutes on the front and five minutes on the back, 246 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 5: so we would bake evenly. 247 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 4: We let the sun shine on us. 248 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 5: Can I tell you five on the front and five 249 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 5: on the back. Let God's word bake evenly in your life. 250 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 4: Let it bake evenly. Listen. 251 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 5: God is a good God. He wants to shine his 252 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 5: light on you. There is nothing that he can't destroy. 253 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 5: There's nothing that he can't get rid of. There's no habit, 254 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 5: there's nothing that he can't break in your life. 255 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: If you will. 256 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 5: Only expose yourself to the son don't let anything keep 257 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 5: you from it. Shake off discouragement, get rid of anger, 258 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 5: get in the word of God, and remember what Jesus 259 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 5: said in John eight twelve. I'm the light of the world. 260 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 5: Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness.
