32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 5: I was in a garden shop the other day and

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 5: I came across these really cute little lights, solar lights,

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 5: and I was looking at the different styles I had,

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 5: and I thought, these are so cute, and I have

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 5: the perfect place to put these lights. There's a place

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 5: at our side back door. When you walk out, you

38
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 5: begin to walk down this little path and you can't

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: see anything.

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 6: It's so dark.

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 5: I don't have any electricity out there, so I thought

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 5: these solar lights will be perfect to place along that

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 5: path so that we can see at night. Because I'm

44
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: always stumbling trying to stay on the little path.

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 6: So I took the lights.

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: Put him in the ground. It was a beautiful sunny day.

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: I thought, these lights are going to power up. It's

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 5: gonna be amazing. I can't wait to take a walk

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: tonight see how my lights are working. So I didn't

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: say anything to Joel about it, but I said, hey,

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 5: let's go take a walk. So we went outside started

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: to go down that little path. I wanted to see

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: if he noticed my new lights. So as we started

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 5: walking down the path, I realized my lights weren't working.

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 5: I didn't say anything to Joel because I didn't want

56
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 5: him to know that I had put lights there and

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 5: my plan had failed. So I just kept walking down

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 5: the path. But in my mind, I was so discouraged.

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: I thought, now, I thought those lights were just gonna

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 5: work beautifully.

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 6: There's solar lights.

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 5: I thought, you know what, tomorrow, I'm taking those lights

63
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 5: lights up and I'm marching them straight back to the store,

64
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna tell them they're cute, but they don't work.

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 6: They're no good to me if they don't work.

66
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 5: So the next morning, I got up and I took

67
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 5: the lights out, and I started looking at how it was,

68
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 5: and I began to kind of examine it and I

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 5: noticed under the bottom in the corner was this little

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: bitty tab.

71
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 6: I thought, I've seen this before. You're supposed to pull

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 6: the tab so that what.

73
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 5: Is inside the light can be illuminated by the sun.

74
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 6: That's what gives it the power.

75
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: So I thought, oh wow, okay, So I went and

76
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 5: I pulled all the tabs, put them back down, thought,

77
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: tonight is the night.

78
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 6: God.

79
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 5: Joel wanted him to come take a walk with me

80
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: so he would notice my lights, And sure enough they

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: were shining brightly.

82
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 6: They illuminated my path.

83
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: Now Joel wasn't as impressed with my lights as I was,

84
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: but they were working perfectly once I figured out to

85
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: pull the tab so that they could be powered by

86
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: the sun.

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 6: You see, we're very.

88
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 5: Much like those solar lights. We have to pull our tab.

89
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 6: That means remove anything in our.

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: Life that would block us from allowing the sun the

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 5: so in to shine on us. You see, we have

92
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: something on the inside of us, and it is the

93
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: seed of God. And when we allow his presence to

94
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: shine on us, when we do all we can do

95
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 5: to bask in his presence get more of him, we

96
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: are also illuminated. See, we weren't meant to stumble around

97
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 5: in the darkness.

98
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 6: We weren't meant to not know the way to go.

99
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: God says that we were meant to shine like stars

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 5: in the universe. But we've got to allow the so

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 5: in to shine in our life. See, just like that tab,

102
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 5: we've got to remove anything that's stopping the light from

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: shining on us. I have a tree in my backyard

104
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 5: and it's about ten inches wide. It's a pretty big tree.

105
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: But it's so strange because the tree grows at an angle.

106
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 5: And I look at that tree and I think that

107
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 5: is so weird. One day I was out talking to

108
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: my yard man and I said, this tree grows so funny.

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 5: And he said, well, Victoria, the reason this tree is

110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 5: growing at an angle is because there are so many

111
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 5: shrubs and other trees around it trying to crowd out

112
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 5: its light. This tree is literally struggling to try to

113
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 5: grow towards the light. You see, the tree is doing

114
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 5: its best to survive. It knows that it grows in

115
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 5: the light, so it's struggling to get to the light.

116
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: Are some of you today struggling to get through the

117
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: light because you've allowed too many things.

118
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 6: To crowd your life.

119
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 5: Maybe busyness is crowding your life from the light. Maybe

120
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 5: you have some friends that are covering your life and

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 5: it's not allowing the light to shine on it because

122
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 5: they don't have the same values that you have. They

123
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 5: don't understand the importance of being in the house of God,

124
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 5: of prayer, of worship.

125
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 6: But you keep going back to those friends because they've

126
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 6: been friends for a long time.

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 5: You see that yard man said, if you'll prune away

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 5: some of these bushes, if you'll make some room for

129
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 5: the light to come in, this tree will literally quit

130
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 5: struggling and it'll it may it may just straighten up

131
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 5: and go straight up to the sun.

132
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 6: It may grow properly.

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: See.

134
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 6: I want to encourage.

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 5: Us today to prune our lives, to look at what's

136
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 5: stopping us to be fully exposed to God, to be

137
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 5: fully walking in His presence at all times. Sometimes over commitment,

138
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 5: even of good things, can keep us from the time

139
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 5: spent with God. Busyness isn't always good. We need to

140
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: prune some of the busyness out of our life. You know,

141
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: some people don't even realize this, that unforgiveness and anger

142
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 5: can cover our life from being totally exposed to the sun.

143
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 5: You see, if we allow anger and bitterness to stay

144
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 5: around too long, guess what, the sun may come up

145
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: in the morning. If we let the sun go down

146
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 5: on our anger, it stays too long. The sun may

147
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 5: come up in the morning, but it can't reach us

148
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: because we've separated ourself through bitterness, through anger, through unforgiveness.

149
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 6: You see, when you can't.

150
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: Forgive, God says, how do you expect me to forgive you?

151
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: You can't even see me.

152
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: To allow forgiveness to flow, you gotta let the sun

153
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 5: break forth. Take those weeds of unforgiveness out of your life.

154
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 5: Root up that anger, don't allow it to stop the

155
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 5: flow of God in your life.

156
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 6: Pull the tabs, so to speak, and say enough is enough.

157
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 5: You see, you may be struggling today, You may be

158
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 5: struggling to grow towards the light. You can make a

159
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 5: decision to do what it takes to straighten up again.

160
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: You know, there's a scripture in the Bible that said

161
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 5: the people of Israel they were so discouraged, they had

162
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: so much coming against them. It says that they were

163
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 5: so discouraged they couldn't even believe. They couldn't even see

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 5: God in the midst of their challenge, because all they

165
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: could see was more discouragement. They kept their eyes on

166
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: what was wrong instead of looking at what God could do.

167
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 6: You see that discouragement was a cloud that was blocking

168
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 6: the light.

169
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: They couldn't even lift their eyes and look through the

170
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 5: cloud to see God.

171
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 6: And we have to realize.

172
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: Discouragement when we face challenges, we can't allow it to

173
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 5: get inside of us. Discouragement is like a cloud that

174
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 5: blocks the light from our life.

175
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 6: You see, We've got to let go of discouragement and

176
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 6: let God shine his light on us.

177
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 5: Have you ever realized that maybe it had been raining

178
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 5: several days and you've been in the house a lot,

179
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: or you go to work and you come home at

180
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: night and it's gloomy and it's rainy, and it just

181
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 5: changes your perspective. You just think, man, this rain is

182
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 5: got me down. I don't know what it does. It

183
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 5: just kind of does something to our psyche. But then

184
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 5: the light bursts forth and it's like, oh my goodness,

185
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: the sunshine, and you begin to say, I want to

186
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 5: go outside, I want to do something. I want to

187
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 5: get out in the sunshine. It's been cloudy and rainy

188
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: for far too long. You see, God wants his light

189
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: to burst into your life that very same way. The

190
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: things that you are afraid to do, the things that

191
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 5: you are stuck in. He wants that light to burst

192
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 5: in and you to move forward. But you've got to

193
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 5: remove the fear, the discouragement in your life so that

194
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 5: God can burst in with his life and his life.

195
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 5: Can you identify anything that's separating you from letting the

196
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 5: s in shine on you. You know, it's so important

197
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: that we spend time by ourselves, with ourselves in God's word,

198
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 5: time alone with God reading his word. You see, the

199
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 5: Bible is a life and powerful. The scripture says it is.

200
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 6: God breathed words. They're not any words.

201
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 5: They're not like the words in a regular book, a newspaper.

202
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 5: The Bible are God breathe words. And it is so

203
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 5: important that we spend time in the Word. Now, some

204
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: people think, well, that's okay. You know what, I listen

205
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 5: to preteen, I listen to podcasts, and I'll tell you what,

206
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 5: when you spend time in the Word, it'll make.

207
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 6: That even richer. They say, I don't really need the Bible.

208
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 6: I was talking to a guy and he says, I

209
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 6: don't need the Bible I got Joel. Sorry, Joel, It's true.

210
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 6: I'll keep Joel, But I was trying.

211
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 5: To explain to him the reason he needs to spend

212
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 5: time in the Word, because it's a.

213
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 6: Relationship with God. You know.

214
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 5: Sometimes I read some scriptures, especially in the Old Testament,

215
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 5: and I truly don't understand it at the.

216
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 6: Time I'm sitting there. But you know what I do

217
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 6: before I close my Bible.

218
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 5: I say, God, I thank you that your word is

219
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: alive and powerful, that it divides anything, whether I understand it.

220
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 6: That you have breathed on these words. So these words

221
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 6: are breathing back on me.

222
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 5: They're causing me to be able to rightly divide my life,

223
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: to make the right choices, the right decisions. Because I've

224
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: spent time letting God breathe on me, I can go

225
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 5: out and breathe on my life to be a good

226
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 5: steward of my life, to help other people. You see,

227
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 5: it is so important. The Bible says that the Word

228
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 5: of God is a lamp unto our feet. It is

229
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 5: a light, and to our path. It will shine you

230
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 5: in the right direction. Don't think, well, I didn't get

231
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: anything out of the Word today, because let me tell you.

232
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 5: If you'll store that word up, God will bring it

233
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 5: to life in you. He'll bring it to life in you.

234
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: But you got to take time to sit and be

235
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 5: with God.

236
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 6: Ten minutes a day. Start right there.

237
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 7: You know.

238
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 5: Sometimes we got to get out of the house. Whatever

239
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 5: it takes, get up ten minutes earlier. When I was

240
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: a young girl, I remember me and my friends, we

241
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 5: like to worship the sun. Would we didn't realize, you know,

242
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 5: you're supposed to put sunscreen.

243
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 6: We put oil all over us.

244
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 5: We'd do five minutes on the front and five minutes

245
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: on the back, so we would bake evenly.

246
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 6: We let the sun shine on us. Can I tell

247
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 6: you five on the front and five on the back.

248
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: Let God's word bake evenly in your life.

249
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 6: Let it bake evenly. Listen, God is a good God.

250
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: He wants to.

251
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 6: Shine his light on you.

252
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 5: There is nothing that he can't destroy. There's nothing that

253
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 5: he can't get rid of. There's no habit, there's nothing

254
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 5: that he can't break in your life. If you will

255
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 5: only expose yourself to the so n don't let anything

256
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 5: keep you from it. Shake off discouragement, get rid of anger,

257
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 5: get in the word of God, and remember what Jesus

258

Speaker 5: said in John eight twelve. I'm the light of the world.
