Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdik. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church,
Speaker 1: and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope it
Speaker 1: builds your faith. Hope it gives your perspective to see
Speaker 1: God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. I
Speaker 1: believe the Lord has spoken to me and I want
Speaker 1: to share a message with you as another installment on
Speaker 1: our series Flip the Flow. And I look at each
Speaker 1: of these like they build on each other. The last
Speaker 1: time that I was speaking with you, I spoke about
Speaker 1: joy and the fullness of joy in the presence of
Speaker 1: the Lord, and now we're going to see not a
Speaker 1: description of that, but a demonstration of it from the scriptures.
Speaker 1: I just want to give you one verse and then
Speaker 1: you can be seated and we'll speak together today. But
Speaker 1: as you stand in reverence and respect for God's word.
Speaker 1: I'm welcome to all the locations. Thank God for all
Speaker 1: of you who are joining e groups today. Tell the
Speaker 1: person next to you you can't go to heaven unless
Speaker 1: you join any group. These are really great people. I
Speaker 1: can vouch for eighty percent of them. There's always a
Speaker 1: twenty percent weirdness factor in anything you do with large groups.
Speaker 1: But we try to screen them, vet them. They're not
Speaker 1: going to sell you pampered chef, essential oils or anything
Speaker 1: like that once they get you in the home, So
Speaker 1: it's not a timeshare presentation. Just want to help you
Speaker 1: grow in your relationship with the Lord. Not selling keto drinks,
Speaker 1: Just trying to help you build a foundation. John chapter two,
Speaker 1: verse eleven. Make sure you take advantage of that. It's
Speaker 1: there for you. It's there for you to grow in
Speaker 1: your faith. John two, verse eleven. What Jesus did here
Speaker 1: in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs
Speaker 1: through which he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed
Speaker 1: in him. One more time. Turn to your neighbor, give
Speaker 1: them my sermon title. Tell them you already know. Please
Speaker 1: be seeing. Shout out to my brother Matt, who is
Speaker 1: stationed in New Jersey. He serves in the United States.
Speaker 1: Shout out to him because he put me on this
Speaker 1: documentary that I really enjoyed this week. It's called Fire,
Speaker 1: The Greatest Party that Never Happened. It's a documentary about
Speaker 1: one of the great scandals of our day in regards
Speaker 1: to entertainment. And social media. The Fire Festival was created
Speaker 1: by Billy McFarlane and the legend Jah Rule. It was
Speaker 1: to be the ultimate luxury music experience on the private
Speaker 1: island of Ezuma in the Bahamas. It was to take
Speaker 1: place over the course of two weekends, one in April
Speaker 1: and the other in May of twenty seventeen. Some of
Speaker 1: the world's top models and social media influencers promoted the
Speaker 1: event simultaneously using the hashtag Fire Festival fire with a
Speaker 1: Y in case you go home and watch it. I'm
Speaker 1: not recommending movies from this pulpit, because I know how
Speaker 1: legalistic some of you are, and you'd be instagram messaging
Speaker 1: me about the bad words and this and that. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you should watch it. I'm just saying it
Speaker 1: was awesome. And they put these orange tiles on Instagram
Speaker 1: all at the same time. And because it was people
Speaker 1: that have such clout, the festival sold out. The music
Speaker 1: festival sold out in forty eight hours. In forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: they sold tickets and day passes ranged from five hundred
Speaker 1: to fifteen hundred dollars, and then the luxury experience went
Speaker 1: up to twelve thousand dollars and some of the packages
Speaker 1: were reported to be two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for the luxury villas and stuff, and they put these
Speaker 1: beautiful pictures online of the festival, marketed toward millennials, and
Speaker 1: they they showed the island. They said that they formerly
Speaker 1: belonged to Pablo Escobar, and that you could come party
Speaker 1: like Pablo Escobar with Instagram models in bikinis, white sand,
Speaker 1: clear waters at the Fire Festival, and then you could
Speaker 1: get a luxury room villa. And they sketched that. But
Speaker 1: when the millennials arrived and descended upon the Bahamas, things
Speaker 1: were a little different than had been advertised. Turns out
Speaker 1: that our boy Billy and ja a first name Bassis
Speaker 1: sold something that didn't necessarily exist in the same form
Speaker 1: that they advertised it. When the customers arrived to the
Speaker 1: Fire Festival in the Bahamas, they found disaster relief tents
Speaker 1: where the villas were supposed to be in gravel parking
Speaker 1: lots in the parking lot of a Sandals resort. Not
Speaker 1: to mention that instead of gourmet meals cooked by five
Speaker 1: star world class chefs, they found apparently cheese sandwiches in
Speaker 1: styrofoam boxes and the festival never happened. The festival never happened.
Speaker 1: Many were stranded, according to the documentary, in the airport
Speaker 1: overnight without water. Twenty three year old kids who paid
Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars to see Blink one two serves them
Speaker 1: right found themselves stranded in the Bahamas with no fire festival.
Speaker 1: And one case study that I read that said, you know, now,
Speaker 1: Billy McFarland is in jail for wire fraud, but it
Speaker 1: was suggesting that this was the ultimate clultural case study
Speaker 1: in Fomo that never have we seen, because people were
Speaker 1: so afraid that this would happen without them. The fear
Speaker 1: of missing out, which I don't struggle with as much.
Speaker 1: I don't struggle with the fear of missing out more
Speaker 1: like for me, the fear of running out. That's more
Speaker 1: what I deal with. I'm a pretty lazy person. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty boring. I'm not lazy about the things that matter.
Speaker 1: But somebody's like, you know, there's a lunar eclipse tonight,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, eh, somebody will take a picture. You know,
Speaker 1: what time is it that ten forty five. I'll check
Speaker 1: it out tomorrow. You know. It's the ones in a
Speaker 1: life I think it'll be on YouTube. You know. That's
Speaker 1: kind of my thing. I'm finding miss out. But fear
Speaker 1: of running out, faux row, fomo, not so much faux row.
Speaker 1: Fear of running out I think about all the time.
Speaker 1: And that's why the documentary was visceral to me, because
Speaker 1: even though the guy was a scam artist, I guess
Speaker 1: because I guess because my fear in life is not
Speaker 1: having what I'm supposed to have and people show up
Speaker 1: expecting something that I can't give. Even in church, I'm
Speaker 1: always so nervous that I won't be able to get
Speaker 1: my energy up to the level that I need to
Speaker 1: get it to to connect with you, because sometimes you
Speaker 1: come in with very low energy. I'm just being honest,
Speaker 1: But I know you need a gourmet meal from the
Speaker 1: word of God, and I don't want to hand you
Speaker 1: a cheese sandwich and a styrofoam box. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't want you to show up with a Fema tint
Speaker 1: when you're expecting a villa and so but I'm scared
Speaker 1: of this. I'm scared of running out all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm constantly scared like my creativity is going to run out,
Speaker 1: because I need creativity to do what I do. And
Speaker 1: even in writing sermons, you're kind of saying the same
Speaker 1: things over and over again sometimes, And even though the
Speaker 1: Bible has a lot of interesting stories and letters, I'm scared,
Speaker 1: like one time, maybe I'm opening my Bible and I
Speaker 1: won't be able to find a sermon, you know, And
Speaker 1: sometimes it gets late in the week, and I'm so
Speaker 1: scared of running out. When we write worship song, I'm
Speaker 1: always like, how many different ways can we say God?
Speaker 1: You're good? I trust you, you know there's different ways.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that God is simple. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm like, oh, can we write another song can appreciate.
Speaker 1: I'm scared of running out of time. I always feel
Speaker 1: like I don't have enough time. Always feel like like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run out of time raising my kids. I'm
Speaker 1: scared to death that I won't get everything instilled in
Speaker 1: them in the time they're in my house, and then
Speaker 1: they will end up on a therapist couch two fifty
Speaker 1: an hour because something I didn't teach them, or Abby
Speaker 1: is gonna marry some jerk because maybe I didn't teach
Speaker 1: her what a man should be like. Because I don't
Speaker 1: know how to fix cars, and since she never saw
Speaker 1: me fix cars, she's gonna end up, you know, on
Speaker 1: the corner. I'm scared about this stuff. I'm scared like
Speaker 1: that they're gonna leave. I know it's dark right, and
Speaker 1: I'm scared that I'm gonna I'm gonna send my kids
Speaker 1: out and they're not gonna have what they need for
Speaker 1: the world because I ran out of time to give
Speaker 1: it to them. I'm scared then I'm gonna run out
Speaker 1: of money. I'm more scared now then I'm gonna run
Speaker 1: out of money than I was when I was twenty
Speaker 1: two and we didn't have any money. I can't figure
Speaker 1: out how. The more we got of it, the more
Speaker 1: I started to depend on it, and now it consumes
Speaker 1: more of your time. You think you'll get to an
Speaker 1: amount of money where you'll no longer be scared of
Speaker 1: running out. All money is going to do is create
Speaker 1: more obligations. All more money is going to do is
Speaker 1: create a bigger lifestyle. And now you will need more
Speaker 1: money to create the lifestyle, so you really won't lose
Speaker 1: the fear of running out. It will just be on
Speaker 1: a larger scale and you'll have more to lose. I'm
Speaker 1: so scared of running out Fomo not so much, fro yo.
Speaker 1: Never liked this stuff, fou roh. So when they got
Speaker 1: there and they didn't have it, I was like John
Speaker 1: chapter two. That's how my mine works, the fear of
Speaker 1: running out. What if I don't have what they need?
Speaker 1: What if I can't be who they need? Any new parents?
Speaker 1: Any new parents? Yeah you don't. You don't have what
Speaker 1: those kids need. It's gonna have to come from God.
Speaker 1: Please believe me. Did you figure this out yet? Have
Speaker 1: you already got the baby or you're expecting or what? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Over there? Any kids? You just came here to get
Speaker 1: a break. Is this your date? That's a good way
Speaker 1: to do a date. By the way, wasn't it eh?
Speaker 1: Free chop here? No, you you gotta understand. This was
Speaker 1: the first sign. Jesus did way more signs than John
Speaker 1: puts in his gospel. And he uses the word sign,
Speaker 1: not miracle, because he believes it's pointing to something deeper.
Speaker 1: That's what a sign does. That's why that says exit
Speaker 1: because of the door. The sign is worthless if that's
Speaker 1: just the wall. It's pointing to something. And when you
Speaker 1: see things in scripture, a lot of times you're going
Speaker 1: to see it on a natural level. But then it's
Speaker 1: going to point to something beneath the surface, like life does.
Speaker 1: Like there are things going on in your life right
Speaker 1: now that are trying to point you to something deeper.
Speaker 1: There are things you're experiencing in your life right now,
Speaker 1: but the surface is not the story. There is a
Speaker 1: deeper meaning for it. And so John says in his
Speaker 1: Gospel that if he were to write down everything that
Speaker 1: Jesus did, he said, the world would not have room
Speaker 1: for the books that would be written. This was before Wikipedia.
Speaker 1: Now you could put it all out there, but at
Speaker 1: the time he said, if I wrote it all down,
Speaker 1: I'd run out of room. So he chose to number seven.
Speaker 1: It's the number that represents completion in the Bible, and
Speaker 1: it's the days of the week. The world was created,
Speaker 1: your seven days. It's a symbolic number in the Bible.
Speaker 1: Seven is all over the Bible. He uses the number seven,
Speaker 1: and he puts in the Bible seven signs that Jesus
Speaker 1: performed to point to who he was. Everything that God
Speaker 1: does for you is to point to who He wants
Speaker 1: to be to you. And if you only live at
Speaker 1: the level of what He does for you, but miss
Speaker 1: what he is trying to point to that he wants
Speaker 1: to be to you. You can receive resource from the
Speaker 1: Lord without revelation of the Lord who gave the resource.
Speaker 1: And if your attachment is to the resource, then you
Speaker 1: will always run out at some point. If your attachment
Speaker 1: is to the revelation, you will always know who he is,
Speaker 1: and so whatever you need he can be, because he
Speaker 1: is the Great. I am shout about it for five
Speaker 1: seconds so I can move on. Seven signs he says.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm gonna give you seven. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you seven. The second sign that Jesus did in John's
Speaker 1: Gospel is when he in John chapter four he healed
Speaker 1: a royal official son. In John chapter five, he healed
Speaker 1: a man at the pool of Bethesta who had been
Speaker 1: lame for thirty eight years and was waiting for the
Speaker 1: angel to stir up the water. But Jesus came on
Speaker 1: the scene and said, you don't have to wait for
Speaker 1: somebody to stir up the water. The living water has
Speaker 1: come to you. And since you can't move and you're
Speaker 1: sitting by this pool, I'm going to bring to you
Speaker 1: what you could not get for yourself. He flipped the flow.
Speaker 1: He flipped the flow. I could preach this series for
Speaker 1: another year and not exhaust all the times that Jesus
Speaker 1: flipped the flow. In fact, in John chapter six, this
Speaker 1: was the fourth sign that Jesus recorded in John's Gospel.
Speaker 1: Jesus was looking at some hungry people, and a little
Speaker 1: boy had a styrofoam box with a cheese sandwich and
Speaker 1: jeez fish and loaves, but modernized here. Jesus took it
Speaker 1: and blessed it, and broke it and gave it to them,
Speaker 1: and they all they went from hungry to full. They
Speaker 1: went from hungry to a kid In another bite, they
Speaker 1: went from hungry. Would you like to see the dessert? Men?
Speaker 1: You know I'm full? That was the sign in John
Speaker 1: chapter six. In John chapter six, Jesus also walked out
Speaker 1: on water to his disciples. He had sent them to
Speaker 1: the other side, but they encountered a storm. And what
Speaker 1: was really most important wasn't what was on the other side,
Speaker 1: but what they went through to get there, Because when
Speaker 1: they went through the storm, it gave him an opportunity
Speaker 1: to reveal who he was in a way that they
Speaker 1: couldn't have seen if they didn't go through the storm,
Speaker 1: so he's trying to get us to see you see
Speaker 1: the sign. He's trying to get you to see that
Speaker 1: the storm points to something that is deeper than what
Speaker 1: you can see on the surface. To show you that
Speaker 1: the power of God on the inside of you is
Speaker 1: greater than the wind that blows against you. He gives
Speaker 1: them a sign. In John chapter nine, he heals a
Speaker 1: man born blind. The man didn't do anything to be blind,
Speaker 1: his parents didn't do anything to make him blind. Jesus
Speaker 1: said this was to reveal the glory of God. He
Speaker 1: is using something that the man can't see to show
Speaker 1: the man something that physical eyes cannot It's a sign.
Speaker 1: He's trying to show something deeper until John chapter eleven,
Speaker 1: when he shows the ultimate sign that foreshadows the very
Speaker 1: work that he came to do. When he shows up
Speaker 1: at lazarus House late after Lazarus has died, misses his
Speaker 1: healing appointment and tells him come out of the tomb
Speaker 1: because he had to show them. You've seen me as
Speaker 1: a healer, but now it's time for a deeper expression
Speaker 1: of your understanding of me. Because even when I don't
Speaker 1: show up when you want me to show up in
Speaker 1: your life. I already have in mind what I'm going
Speaker 1: to do. And even if they've wrapped you in graveclothes
Speaker 1: and buried you, if you have the faith to come forth,
Speaker 1: I can still speak a word that will bring you
Speaker 1: out of any situation, because I am the Resurrection and
Speaker 1: the live somebody shop, God, give me a sign. I
Speaker 1: just wanted a sign, So Jesus gave him a sign.
Speaker 1: So what was the first one? Those were? But the
Speaker 1: first one was? And I know some of you, some
Speaker 1: of you already know, some of you really really really
Speaker 1: really really know your Bible. And when I said John
Speaker 1: chapter two, you were like water into wine, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're right. But if you would have shouted it,
Speaker 1: I would have ruined my setup because you already know.
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes we have the curse of knowledge
Speaker 1: and we think we know something and we do know
Speaker 1: it at the surface. But why did Jesus turn water
Speaker 1: into wine? And I'm going to show you, And this
Speaker 1: is so powerful. God, I'm excited. I hadn't had this
Speaker 1: much fun preaching in a long time as I'm having today.
Speaker 1: I think it's the dinum. Holly said, I don't wear
Speaker 1: enough color up here, so I like black it's slimmy,
Speaker 1: dark colors. Dark colors. Now go back to John chapter two,
Speaker 1: verse one, somebody shall flip it. Jesus shows up on
Speaker 1: the third day at a wedding which took place in
Speaker 1: Cana in Galilee. This is a small place, not necessarily
Speaker 1: an important place, but nevertheless, Jesus's mother was there at
Speaker 1: a wedding, and Jesus and his disciples had also been
Speaker 1: invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, the
Speaker 1: miracle started. You missed it when they ran out of
Speaker 1: what they brought, when they ran out of what they
Speaker 1: planned for, which to us would not be the biggest deal.
Speaker 1: You know, you run out of wine at a wedding,
Speaker 1: and it's probably a good thing because you got crazy
Speaker 1: family members and when they drink too much, they start
Speaker 1: fighting any way, and one of them ends up in jail.
Speaker 1: But in this culture, it was the epitome of dishonor
Speaker 1: to invite a guest and to not be able to provide.
Speaker 1: And this wedding was not a you know how we
Speaker 1: do a wedding and it's like forty minutes and then
Speaker 1: in a reception. This was more like the fire festival.
Speaker 1: It was supposed to last a week. The wedding would
Speaker 1: last a week, and everybody showed up expecting that at
Speaker 1: whatever point they showed up at the wedding there would
Speaker 1: still be something to drink, that there would still you know,
Speaker 1: to show up at a wedding and there to be
Speaker 1: no wine. It was actually recorded that if the groom,
Speaker 1: who was responsible to make sure that the wedding went
Speaker 1: off right, if he did not provide everything that necessity required,
Speaker 1: he could be sued by his mother in law. You
Speaker 1: thought you had family drama, right, but Jesus shows up
Speaker 1: at the wedding and they run out of wine. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't want to skip over this. What have you
Speaker 1: run out of? What are you running out of? Right now?
Speaker 1: What are you constantly afraid of running out of? Is
Speaker 1: it wisdom? Is it peace? Is it ideas? Are you
Speaker 1: out of ideas for how to fix a relationship? Are
Speaker 1: you out of ideas for how to reach a level
Speaker 1: of success that you thought you would have been at
Speaker 1: four years ago? What are you running out of? What
Speaker 1: have you run out of? The worst thing is the
Speaker 1: run out of gas when you're the one driving. The
Speaker 1: worst thing is for people to show up to your
Speaker 1: kitchen and all you have is cheese and brand. The
Speaker 1: worst thing is when you know that people expect something
Speaker 1: of you because some of you you're the life of
Speaker 1: the party, some of you you're the strong one. Some
Speaker 1: of you you are the one that people come to
Speaker 1: with their problems, and they don't know you are sick
Speaker 1: of being the place where they dump their crap. You
Speaker 1: got your own sewage, and keep backing up and dumping
Speaker 1: more on you, and they don't even know how close
Speaker 1: you are to quitting. And you're running out. And that's
Speaker 1: why I like this, because you don't have to say
Speaker 1: it out loud. I'll say it for you. Everybody in
Speaker 1: here is running out of something not wine. How about joy?
Speaker 1: How about how? How about how you haven't been happy
Speaker 1: in a long time? How about that the last time
Speaker 1: I was up here, I preached on joy? Did you
Speaker 1: hear that sermon? Sounds like it meant a lot to you?
Speaker 1: Praise the Lord? Why do I do this? Were you
Speaker 1: here when I preached on joy? Well, since since wine
Speaker 1: represents joy, I thought it'd be good to stay in
Speaker 1: this flow. But Jesus comes to the wedding and he's
Speaker 1: a guest, but he's about to provide what the host
Speaker 1: could not provide. Why. He did not come to demand righteousness.
Speaker 1: He came to provide righteousness. He flipped the flow. The
Speaker 1: first thing Jesus did was to take away the shame
Speaker 1: of a couple who had run out of what they
Speaker 1: were unable to provide. That's the first thing he does
Speaker 1: when he comes in your life. He doesn't just expose
Speaker 1: your shame. He doesn't just come to condemn you. He
Speaker 1: doesn't just come to point out everything that's wrong with you.
Speaker 1: He says, I didn't come just to show you your shame.
Speaker 1: I came to take it away. Look the lamb of
Speaker 1: God who takes away the sin of the world. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm happy about it. I need the Lord in my
Speaker 1: life because because I'm so I'm so scared I'm gonna
Speaker 1: run out. And yet the Bible says that Jesus didn't
Speaker 1: do anything about it. He let it run out. He
Speaker 1: let it run out, He let it happen like he
Speaker 1: often will do. Until wats this When the wine was gone,
Speaker 1: jesus mother said to him, they gotta imagine the wine's
Speaker 1: really important at the wedding. This is not the first
Speaker 1: person who has discovered that is gone. They probably had
Speaker 1: many discussions, and there's probably been a lot of finger pointing.
Speaker 1: That's one thing on that documentary I watch, everybody was
Speaker 1: saying it was everybody's fault. Everybody was pointing. Everybody was
Speaker 1: pointing at somebody else. Well, we didn't know what we
Speaker 1: didn't know what we didn't know? How did you not know?
Speaker 1: That's what we wanted to know, is how did you
Speaker 1: not know? But Jesus's mother knew something. Rather, she knew someone,
Speaker 1: and she did something interesting. She didn't go to the
Speaker 1: wedding planner. She didn't go to the couple Jesus's mother
Speaker 1: when the wine was gone, Jesus's mother married. Did you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she knew, she knew, she didn't know what to do,
Speaker 1: but she knew who to go to. I'm a preach
Speaker 1: this message today. I'm coming for it today because you
Speaker 1: don't know what to do right now, right But if
Speaker 1: you know who to go to and see a lot
Speaker 1: of the reason you've been running out is because you've
Speaker 1: been running around to people who don't have what you need.
Speaker 1: They don't have it, they can't give it, they got
Speaker 1: their own stuff. They're running dry too. But if you
Speaker 1: go to the man from Galilee if you go to
Speaker 1: the one whose name is life. She came to Jesus
Speaker 1: and said they have no more wine. She didn't tell
Speaker 1: him about the solution. She just told him the need.
Speaker 1: She just told him what he already knew. I promise
Speaker 1: you he already knew. How do I know he already
Speaker 1: knew because he was the word from the beginning. If
Speaker 1: he spoke the grapes onto the vine, he certainly knew
Speaker 1: that they didn't bring enough. I know he knew because
Speaker 1: in John chapter six, when he turned the Little Boy's
Speaker 1: Value pack Chick fil a value pack, when he turned
Speaker 1: it into a buffet all you can eat buffet, he
Speaker 1: asked Philip, what are we gonna do about this? And
Speaker 1: Philip was an accountant, so Philip was like, if we did,
Speaker 1: the time just doesn't carry the one. Ton can't do it.
Speaker 1: But the Bible says, give me John sixty six. I
Speaker 1: know I didn't use it in the last one, but
Speaker 1: I want to use it because these people want it.
Speaker 1: They really really wanted. These people are hungry, These people
Speaker 1: want the Word of God. He asked this only to
Speaker 1: test him, for he already knew. He already knew what
Speaker 1: he was gonna do. How cool is that? You mean,
Speaker 1: I'm coming before God praying a lot of times, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, like, I'm God's administrative assistant, you know, Like, Lord,
Speaker 1: just reminding you about that appointment you missed last week
Speaker 1: when I asked you to help me with the thing
Speaker 1: and I told you to fix them. You didn't fix them.
Speaker 1: So just putting it back on your calendar if you
Speaker 1: get around to it. Lord, he's you know, if you
Speaker 1: get because you know, and then this other thing over
Speaker 1: here blah blah blah blah blah. And lately I've been
Speaker 1: praying like this. You already know. I know, you know,
Speaker 1: I know you know. That's why Mary went to Jesus,
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't his job. He was just a
Speaker 1: guest at the wedding, but she knew what was in
Speaker 1: him because he had been in her. And when Christ
Speaker 1: is in you and you were in Christ, you already
Speaker 1: know how many of you You already know that God
Speaker 1: will do it. You just don't know how. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: all Mary knew. Mary, did you know? Mary be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew he would, but I didn't know how he would.
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know how. But see every need
Speaker 1: in your life is pointing you to a deeper source.
Speaker 1: Every sign that John recorded was pointing to something deeper.
Speaker 1: Every need that you experience in your life is pointing
Speaker 1: you to a deeper place in God that you can access,
Speaker 1: a deeper place of strength, a deeper place of confidence,
Speaker 1: a deeper place of health, a deeper place of relationship,
Speaker 1: a deeper place of dependence. Everything is pointing to something deeper.
Speaker 1: So when she said they have no more wine, Jesus responded,
Speaker 1: and I don't recommend this as like something to say
Speaker 1: to your mom or your wife verse four, Woman, why
Speaker 1: do you involve me? That's not like a great marriage
Speaker 1: seminar Love Languages verse But she didn't tell Jesus the
Speaker 1: need to inform him like we do. She didn't pray
Speaker 1: like a ritual in God, bless me today as I
Speaker 1: go to the thing and after the thing, and God
Speaker 1: just let me go through my list and worry about
Speaker 1: it and say that I'm praying, But really all I'm
Speaker 1: doing is worrying out loud with my eyes closed. She
Speaker 1: wasn't She wasn't doing it to inform him. She was
Speaker 1: doing it to involve him because she knew if he
Speaker 1: gets involved, I don't know what he'll do, but I
Speaker 1: know who he is now. I'm gonna need you to
Speaker 1: shout right now. If you know who he is. Come on, Blakeney,
Speaker 1: don't be quiet. I know you love the Lord. I
Speaker 1: need you to shout right now. If you know who
Speaker 1: he is, I know who to go to. I lift
Speaker 1: my eyes to be Hill and his mother watched this.
Speaker 1: His mother goes to him. He says to his mother,
Speaker 1: My woman, I'm gonna start talking to Holliday woman, you know,
Speaker 1: help them with their homework. Woman, you involve me. That's
Speaker 1: my favorite verse this year. I'm gonna use that luck
Speaker 1: this year. Well, I'm in why you involve me? And
Speaker 1: Jesus White My hour is not yet come. He's talking
Speaker 1: about the cross, but she needs him to do something
Speaker 1: right now. Some of us have things that we need
Speaker 1: God to do. Now we really do we need him now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to heaven when I die. And yeah, there's
Speaker 1: the white horse that I read about in the Book
Speaker 1: of Revelation, the Book of Revelations, and people put an
Speaker 1: s on it. Book of Revelations Walmarts Revelations. Yeah it's great,
Speaker 1: but how about now? And so watch what she does?
Speaker 1: She doesn't argue, she doesn't convince, she doesn't beg In fact,
Speaker 1: she doesn't talk to Jesus anymore. She turns away from Jesus,
Speaker 1: points to the people who are working at the wedding,
Speaker 1: and verse five, she said to the servants, do whatever
Speaker 1: he tells you, because if you start moving in faith,
Speaker 1: he's gonna do something. I don't know why he didn't
Speaker 1: tell me. I don't know the details. I don't know
Speaker 1: the plan I went in a wedding planner. This isn't
Speaker 1: even my party. But if you'll start moving, if you'll
Speaker 1: start obeying, if you'll take a step, you're gonna see
Speaker 1: something as sign. And she said, do whatever he tells you. Now,
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. I already know. I already know.
Speaker 1: I already know what you're thinking. I would if I
Speaker 1: knew what do you wanted me to do? I would?
Speaker 1: I would, you know, do whatever he tells you to do.
Speaker 1: That's such a great thing to say on Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: How about about this this this apartment that I'm living
Speaker 1: in right now, and I don't know whether I should
Speaker 1: move out of this apartment. And you know, we get
Speaker 1: really weird sometimes too. Write like people do all kinds
Speaker 1: of stuff and say that God told them to do it. Okay,
Speaker 1: a couple of yards new to church, there's probably one
Speaker 1: of these weird people within like three rows of you
Speaker 1: that God has to tell them what color to wear
Speaker 1: in the morning. It's it's it's paralyzing, you know, and
Speaker 1: and they'll make stuff up. It's like a cognitive bias
Speaker 1: thing as well. It's like, well, I was praying about,
Speaker 1: you know, whether I should date him, and then I
Speaker 1: went and I went to elevation and Pastor Steve he
Speaker 1: was preaching on a best Steve he's preaching on He's
Speaker 1: preaching on John and his name. The guy's name is James,
Speaker 1: and it's close. They both start with Jay. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna dat him right. It's a sign. And but sometimes
Speaker 1: the way God speaks, it's like the Lord was saying
Speaker 1: to me the other day because I was praying about,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know whether to do this or that,
Speaker 1: and and I know you have situations that are nuanced,
Speaker 1: and I really don't like preaching that doesn't respect nuance.
Speaker 1: I really think it's in some ways it's misleading for
Speaker 1: people to say, you know, it's just simple do whatever.
Speaker 1: He tells you to do, because sometimes I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is, and sometimes I don't know if I
Speaker 1: should take the job and make a little more money,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna take me away from my family more.
Speaker 1: But I need to be here for my kids. But
Speaker 1: I also need to be able to send them to
Speaker 1: college in four years, and I need to be able
Speaker 1: to provide for him. So I'm kind of caught between.
Speaker 1: I don't really know what he wants me to do
Speaker 1: because I can't find a Bible verse about whether I
Speaker 1: should live in Atlanta or Charlotte. You know, but let
Speaker 1: me just say something. There's traffic in both cities, and
Speaker 1: there's problems in both cities, and there's ups and downs
Speaker 1: to both cities. You know, where am I going to
Speaker 1: go to college? I see a wing get shirt over there.
Speaker 1: Where am I going to go to college? You know,
Speaker 1: you can live for the lord at Wingott or at Wafford.
Speaker 1: You could live for the lord either place. It's not
Speaker 1: as important. I mean, go where the scholarship money is.
Speaker 1: Or if there's no scholarship money, you know, go, But
Speaker 1: it's more important what kind of friends you make the
Speaker 1: first week of college than it is whether it's Winget
Speaker 1: or Wafford. Can I preach a little bit? So the
Speaker 1: Lord was speaking to me. I was like, if I
Speaker 1: knew what to do, I would do it. And God said,
Speaker 1: if you would do what you knew, see the flip.
Speaker 1: You see the flip because I'm waiting for new information
Speaker 1: from God. And God is like, all right, what do
Speaker 1: you already know? I'm speaking to somebody today who has
Speaker 1: run out and you don't know what to do, and
Speaker 1: you don't have the wisdom, you don't have the experience,
Speaker 1: you don't have that. I don't know. I didn't. You know,
Speaker 1: it's really hard to do something you don't have a
Speaker 1: context for. But if you would do what you knew,
Speaker 1: what do you already know? I mean, I know for
Speaker 1: one that gratitude is the gateway to joy, so much
Speaker 1: so that I bought a I bought a journal and
Speaker 1: put it by my bed. It's a gratitude journal. It's orange,
Speaker 1: like everything else in this church, and like God's favorite team,
Speaker 1: the Clemson Tigers, who he has anointed with the fresh
Speaker 1: oil of yet another national championship for the glory of
Speaker 1: His name, his kingdom. Come, some of y'all look like
Speaker 1: you hate me right now? But I find out the
Speaker 1: Gratitude Journal doesn't bless me if I don't open it
Speaker 1: and write in it. And I already know that, but
Speaker 1: I hadn't touched it in seven months, and it's got
Speaker 1: dust on it. And then I'm going to go to
Speaker 1: God at some point, praying that he'll help me to
Speaker 1: feel joy. But I already knew what to do, I
Speaker 1: didn't do it. I got seventeen books on my kindle
Speaker 1: that I bought last year that I read one chapter of.
Speaker 1: I probably don't need to buy another book this year,
Speaker 1: and you might not either. I'm serious. I'm a preach
Speaker 1: till us so quiet that you think we this elevation Press,
Speaker 1: Baterian Episcopalian cemetery service. Look at me. You know enough
Speaker 1: right now? I promise you do. I promise you do?
Speaker 1: You know enough right now to be physically fit. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying you might not need Men's Fitness with Hugh
Speaker 1: Jackman's workout to do some push ups and to take
Speaker 1: less calor. But but we're addicted to knowledge. We're addicted
Speaker 1: to you know. Ah, if I knew what to do,
Speaker 1: if I knew, if I knew, if I could do
Speaker 1: this diet over here and I heard about this and
Speaker 1: this celebrity diet, and I gotta do this thing. I
Speaker 1: heard about this, uh kombucha. If I drink that, then
Speaker 1: my gut will be held. You know you already know.
Speaker 1: Touch somebody and say you already know. You know push ups,
Speaker 1: you know sit ups, you already know. Get a trainer
Speaker 1: if you want, But the trainer will not transform you.
Speaker 1: If you if you know what to do and you
Speaker 1: do what you know, you will know what to do.
Speaker 1: Come on, God, I don't need you to clarify. I
Speaker 1: need you to give me courage to do what I
Speaker 1: knew that I didn't do last time. I knew I
Speaker 1: needed to humble myself. I knew I needed. Some of
Speaker 1: us know exactly what we need to do, but we
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. So we want to pile
Speaker 1: more knowledge on top of the last thing we didn't
Speaker 1: do that he gave us to do. Wow, I'm preaching, mom.
Speaker 1: They might not come back next week, but I'm preaching.
Speaker 1: I'm preaching because it's three things that Jesus points to.
Speaker 1: And I want to give this to you because I
Speaker 1: believe that God already knows. Somebody say he already knows.
Speaker 1: I know the plans I have for you, plans to
Speaker 1: prosper you, not to harm you. But there's something that
Speaker 1: you don't know that you can't know. It is not
Speaker 1: in the knowing, but in the doing that the miracle happens.
Speaker 1: Praise God. Did you feel this word? Man? It might
Speaker 1: be just for you. God might have gave me this
Speaker 1: message just for you. I don't doubt it. He's that good.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that that he would put this in
Speaker 1: me just for you? I do so. I was noticing
Speaker 1: the details because his mother said, do whatever he tells
Speaker 1: you to do, and don't do what everybody else tells
Speaker 1: you to do, because you spend all your energy doing
Speaker 1: what everybody else tells you to do, and then not
Speaker 1: have the strength to do the thing God called you
Speaker 1: to do, saying yes to everything else. But what God
Speaker 1: gave you to do, do whatever he tells you to do,
Speaker 1: and so listen. So Jesus, he wasn't reluctant to get involved.
Speaker 1: He just needed their involvement, and he tells him to
Speaker 1: do something. Look at it. In verse six, it says
Speaker 1: nearby stood six stone water jars. What kind of jars?
Speaker 1: Stone water jars? The kind used by the Jews for
Speaker 1: ceremonial washing. They were common, They were there for a
Speaker 1: common purpose, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. They
Speaker 1: were big. That's a big goal. In fact, by the
Speaker 1: time they did what he said in verse seven, Jesus said,
Speaker 1: the servants filled the jars with water. So they filled
Speaker 1: them to the brim, which would have made one thousand
Speaker 1: bottles of wine, more than they needed. Because he's a
Speaker 1: god of more than enough. He is a god of
Speaker 1: more than enough. It's not that he doesn't have it.
Speaker 1: It's that we're so busy pointing to what's not there
Speaker 1: that we miss what is. And that's why we got
Speaker 1: to flip the flow. And the Bible says that not
Speaker 1: even knowing what would happen when they did it, because
Speaker 1: they needed wine. But he points to water. He doesn't
Speaker 1: point to what they need. He points to what they have.
Speaker 1: And then he told them, now draw some out and
Speaker 1: take it to the master of the banquet. They did. So.
Speaker 1: They did it. They just did it. They had a
Speaker 1: nike Uh mentality. They just did it. Swoosh. I'm looking
Speaker 1: for a sponsorshipt. I'm just trying to work this in,
Speaker 1: trying to get us some money for the expansion program.
Speaker 1: They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted
Speaker 1: the one that had been turned the water that had
Speaker 1: been turned into one. Now he tasted the product, but
Speaker 1: he did not understand the process. He didn't know. He
Speaker 1: did not realize where it had come from, though the
Speaker 1: servants knew. Touch somebody who say, you already know. You
Speaker 1: know who knows what God is doing in the earth today,
Speaker 1: Those who serve him, not just those who come and sip,
Speaker 1: but those who serve, those who involved. I want to
Speaker 1: thank God for every volunteer in this church, for everybody
Speaker 1: who served something today, for every e group leader in
Speaker 1: this church. I thank God for you, because you already
Speaker 1: know that it's more blessed to give than receive. Not
Speaker 1: those who sit, but those who serve. That's who God
Speaker 1: blesses the most. Amen. He did not realize where it
Speaker 1: did come from, though the servants who had drawn the
Speaker 1: water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said,
Speaker 1: you flipped the flow. Because everybody brings out the choice
Speaker 1: wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the guests
Speaker 1: have had too much to drink. That's the way the
Speaker 1: world works. It's good for a little while and then
Speaker 1: it runs out. He said, you did it different. It
Speaker 1: got better and better and sweeter and sweeter. I've come
Speaker 1: to tell you your best days are not behind you.
Speaker 1: God is not like that. He didn't let you run
Speaker 1: out because he left you. He let it run out
Speaker 1: so he could give you something better than what you
Speaker 1: brought to the party to begin with. Yeah, you flipped
Speaker 1: the flow. You have saved first ten, the best till now.
Speaker 1: But how did he do it? How did he? How
Speaker 1: did he do it? Because everything you're running out of
Speaker 1: in your life today is in Jesus. It's in him.
Speaker 1: But there's three things I want to show you, and
Speaker 1: we'll go quickly, quickly, quickly. Number One, it's not going
Speaker 1: to be in the places you expect it's going to
Speaker 1: be It's going to be. Number one, nearby. It's not
Speaker 1: going to be by you moving to a new situation
Speaker 1: or thinking that your solution is out there somewhere. It's
Speaker 1: not going to be distant. It's going to be nearby.
Speaker 1: Verse six, Where were the stone water jars? Pay attention
Speaker 1: to the details. Nearby? Where is the help that God
Speaker 1: has given you for the shortage in your life? It's nearby?
Speaker 1: It's nearby. The reason we don't see what's nearby is
Speaker 1: because when something is close, we see it as common.
Speaker 1: These were stone jars made of earth. They were leak
Speaker 1: proof so that they wouldn't be ceremonially unclean. But there
Speaker 1: was nothing gold plated about them. These were not iced
Speaker 1: out jars. That's not what made them special. What was
Speaker 1: special was what was inside. But they didn't have to
Speaker 1: go you know, Jesus right here could have been like
Speaker 1: the disciples go to town. You got to get someone.
Speaker 1: But the thing about Cana is in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: so they can't go get anything. So they have to
Speaker 1: use something nearby. I wonder what's nearby that if you
Speaker 1: pour yourself into it, God can flow again through your life.
Speaker 1: It's nearby, it's so close. Like remember they all came
Speaker 1: in the party and wash their hands. So the miracle
Speaker 1: was in something that they had already walked by to
Speaker 1: get to the party. The miracle is in something that
Speaker 1: you're walking by every day. It's in a Bible reading
Speaker 1: plan that you already started, but you just quit it
Speaker 1: and you can pick it back up. The wisdom that
Speaker 1: you need might be in the wife that you chose
Speaker 1: to do life with six years ago. But you don't
Speaker 1: want to listen to her because she's nearby. So I
Speaker 1: will see men go to conferences to learn how to
Speaker 1: be a better man, but they won't even listen to
Speaker 1: their own wife because they don't want to be humble.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's nearby. It's not out there. That's
Speaker 1: not where the provision is. It's not somewhere out there.
Speaker 1: It's nearby. It's gonna be so close you'll miss it
Speaker 1: if you're not careful. It's gonna be so close you
Speaker 1: walk in. I'll telling you it is something that you're
Speaker 1: walking by right now. You've been praying for it. It's
Speaker 1: an orange gratitude journal. This right there on your bed.
Speaker 1: It's an exercise plan that you already know to do.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be nearby, and it's gonna be normal. That's
Speaker 1: the second thing. It's gonna be normal. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: feel so supernatural. It's gonna feel natural, and then it's
Speaker 1: gonna be super But you can't wait for something special.
Speaker 1: You've got to embrace something normal. We have this treasure
Speaker 1: in earth and vessels that the excellency of the power
Speaker 1: might be from God and not from us. It's coming
Speaker 1: through something normal. It's gonna be normal. It's gonna be habits,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be discipline. It's gonna be normal. God, use
Speaker 1: me go home and have dinner with your family. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be normal. It's not gonna be exciting. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna be sexy. It's not gonna be Instagram models in
Speaker 1: bikinis on the beach. It's gonna be normal. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be normal. Tell somebody's gonna be normal. Tell them it's
Speaker 1: gonna be natural. But it's gonna be super. When God
Speaker 1: gets done with normal. What happens on the inside of
Speaker 1: what looks normal on the outside, God is doing something
Speaker 1: in me. And I wonder what you've been walking by
Speaker 1: because it looks normal. You don't even notice it because
Speaker 1: it's nearby and it's normal, and it's now Jesus said, now,
Speaker 1: verse ey, Now, everybody say now, not after I've explained
Speaker 1: it to you. Now he didn't tell him. Now, when
Speaker 1: you draw it out, it's gonna start to turn purple
Speaker 1: like when you stir the kool aid, and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a fermentation process and molecular structure is going Let
Speaker 1: me draw it up for you, guys. This is okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: Come on in, Come on in. Now. I know you
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna do, but I already know.
Speaker 1: I know you don't know why I'm telling you to
Speaker 1: do this, but I know I know you don't know
Speaker 1: why I'm telling you to forgive. But I know what
Speaker 1: I want to do that I can't do in your
Speaker 1: life if you have a clogged heart. So do it
Speaker 1: now now now. Faith is a substance of things hoped for,
Speaker 1: and Jesus never points to what's next without dealing with
Speaker 1: what's now. Now, draw it out now. I could imagine
Speaker 1: he could. He could have gone around the whole party.
Speaker 1: You should have planned better and you should have known better.
Speaker 1: But he didn't do any of that. Because he didn't
Speaker 1: point to what they should have done. It doesn't do
Speaker 1: any good. He points to what it is now. Now,
Speaker 1: even though you've run, even though even though you could
Speaker 1: have done better, I'm gonna tell you could have done
Speaker 1: a better job. You need to fire your wedding planner.
Speaker 1: I hope you didn't give her too much of a deposit,
Speaker 1: because she really screwed this up. But now that's actually
Speaker 1: what Mary and Martha said to Jesus when he showed
Speaker 1: up for Lazarus, if you would have been here, our
Speaker 1: brother would not have died. But even now I feel
Speaker 1: the power of now on this word today, now, now, now, now,
Speaker 1: now now, because the truth is, you might be running
Speaker 1: out of time, and Jesus only had three years on earth.
Speaker 1: It didn't crazy think about this. I'm almost done, y'all
Speaker 1: got like five more minutes? Or am I out of time?
Speaker 1: I don't know how to receive that tepid encouragement. I
Speaker 1: guess go if you need to go, I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: to who wants to hear this last part. I just
Speaker 1: study too much to get up here and let a
Speaker 1: clock tell me when to quit, because I because I
Speaker 1: I know what it feels like to be empty. I've
Speaker 1: been there in my own life, you know, just dry
Speaker 1: and empty. And AH can't if another person asked me if,
Speaker 1: I don't even want to do it. But but but
Speaker 1: there's something significant not only about what Jesus did water
Speaker 1: intwine the law into the spirit. We can preach about
Speaker 1: that we will one day. That he did it in
Speaker 1: a ceremonial jar, and it was an idea. The fact
Speaker 1: that the ceremonial washings of Moses were now being replaced
Speaker 1: by the blood that would be shed. That's all in there.
Speaker 1: It's a sign. It's pointing to a lock. But why
Speaker 1: did he do it in Cana? Why did he show
Speaker 1: his glory in Cana? And to understand this, we need
Speaker 1: to meet Nathaniel. Because Nathaniel was a disciple who came
Speaker 1: to Jesus. Guess who brought him? By the way, Philip,
Speaker 1: the one who Jesus said, where are we gonna get
Speaker 1: the bread from? But he already knew, I promise you
Speaker 1: he already knows, but he's just trying to make sure
Speaker 1: that you know where it comes from. And Philip brought
Speaker 1: Nathaniel to Jesus. Pick it up. In forty five, Philip
Speaker 1: found Nathaniel and told him, yeah, you can start playing.
Speaker 1: It'll hurry me along. He found Nathaniel and told him
Speaker 1: we have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,
Speaker 1: and about whom the prophets also wrote Jesus of Nazareth,
Speaker 1: the son of Joseph. There were four hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: six different expectations of the Jewish Messiah, and Philip was
Speaker 1: doing the math, you know, carry the one it's like
Speaker 1: it was. And he said, I think this is him.
Speaker 1: I think so. I'm not sure, but I think. Come see.
Speaker 1: And Nathaniel starts trying to figure it out based on
Speaker 1: what he can understand. He's like, did you say Nazareth,
Speaker 1: that hicktown, Nazare Monk's corner. See, I'm used to being
Speaker 1: from a place that people don't respect. When you say
Speaker 1: the name of it, Nazare, can anything good come from there?
Speaker 1: And Nathaniel asked the question, and Philip said, I can't
Speaker 1: answer that, but you can come see. Now watch this.
Speaker 1: That's where it gets good. When Jesus saw Nathaniel, I
Speaker 1: always preach John chapter two, thinking that verse one is
Speaker 1: where it started on the third day Jesus went to Cana,
Speaker 1: But it started before that. When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching,
Speaker 1: he said of him, here truly is an Israelite in
Speaker 1: whom there is no deceit. Now Nathaniel was kind of
Speaker 1: creeped out Verse forty eight. He said, how do you
Speaker 1: know me? We have met? How do you How do
Speaker 1: you know? He said, I know what's in you? He said,
Speaker 1: But you don't know me, he said, but I know
Speaker 1: what's in you. One time. When Elijah was little, he
Speaker 1: would walk around the house. How old was he? Two? Three?
Speaker 1: He'd walk around the house going, how do you know
Speaker 1: my name? How do you know my name? How do
Speaker 1: you know my name? I think he heard it on
Speaker 1: a TV show and I thought that was so bizarre.
Speaker 1: You know, he'd walk up, walk up to me and Holly,
Speaker 1: how do you know my name? How do you know
Speaker 1: my name? I said, because I made you, because I
Speaker 1: gave you your name. I know who you are. I
Speaker 1: know what's in you. Jesus looks at Nathaniel len he
Speaker 1: knows what's in him because Nathaniel came from him. Now
Speaker 1: watch this. This is so important for everybody who spends
Speaker 1: a lot of time feeling like that what's against you
Speaker 1: is greater than what's in you. I want you to
Speaker 1: know that God already knows what's against you, and he
Speaker 1: already knows what's in you. I said, He already knows
Speaker 1: what's against you, and he already knows what's in you.
Speaker 1: He said, I saw you while you were still under
Speaker 1: the fig tree before Philip called you, and Nathaniel said,
Speaker 1: you saw me. Rabbi, you are the son of God,
Speaker 1: You are the King of Israel. You hadn't even met
Speaker 1: me yet, and you saw me before I was called.
Speaker 1: You mean, you saw me in this situation before I
Speaker 1: was even in it. You saw me in this dry
Speaker 1: place before it even stopped raining. You saw me in
Speaker 1: this dumb decision. You saw me in this divorce. You
Speaker 1: saw me in this low place. Said yeah, I saw you.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have put you in it if I didn't
Speaker 1: put it in you. You've got it in you, and
Speaker 1: you will not run out, and will not run out,
Speaker 1: and it will not run out. You will accomplish your purpose,
Speaker 1: you will fulfill, you will complete your assignment. It is
Speaker 1: in you. I love Jesus. He said, you believe because
Speaker 1: I told you that I saw you under the fig tree.
Speaker 1: You will see greater things than that. And then they
Speaker 1: went to Cana so Jesus could show Nathaniel what he
Speaker 1: just told him. I am the one who flips the floor.
Speaker 1: I am the one come on, get happy, who gets
Speaker 1: grace for say. I am the one who turns rejection
Speaker 1: into blessing. I am the resurrection. I am the life.
Speaker 1: Your struggle is a sign, your setback is a sign.
Speaker 1: Your secrets are a sign God is with you. It
Speaker 1: is in you. Come on, release a sound of raise
Speaker 1: in the plane I set, release a set of praise
Speaker 1: in the play, and you will not run out. You
Speaker 1: will not run out. You might not have any wine,
Speaker 1: but if you have the one who can start the water,
Speaker 1: you will never lack. You will make it, and you
Speaker 1: will achivement. It saves a sname. Well. I hope you
