1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. I'm the pastor of Elevation

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: We are starting a brand news segment here today.

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: You are the only person on earth that knows the

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: name of this word.

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 2: I know and I remember it.

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: You remember it, yes.

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: Because you had to tell it to me so many times.

13
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: I felt that I kept asking him and so, but

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 3: I actually remember it.

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: So let's set it up and then we'll do the reveal. Okay,

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: I've always thought after I finished preaching, ah, I didn't

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: get to say this that I didn't you know, I

18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: didn't get to go deep enough. Ah, I left this out.

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: You know, I have all these notes that I didn't

20
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: get to and it would feel frustrating. Well, one day,

21
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit says to me, after I was, you know,

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: done coddling myself on the couch for three hours of

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: how I didn't say everything.

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: We're coddling yourself after I was cursing yourself Yeah, after.

25
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: I was really beating myself up. I feel like I failed.

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: I didn't get the job done. And you said, maybe

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: you didn't fail, maybe you just didn't finish.

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: Did I actually say it like that? Like that yoda?

29
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: So that's the final draft of what you said, and

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: I've alliterated it and co written it. But the concept

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: just became real in my heart that we have all

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: of these amazing ways to minister to you now, and

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: so why not from time to time, not every week?

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: Just come on kind of like what you guys do

35
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: on coffee FIM. Just get in there and look at

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: the sermon, talk about the sermon, and apply it. I

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: love it. And so you, being the master of practical

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: application that you are, Holly, I want you to reveal

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: the title of this segment to the people.

40
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: So the title of this segment is run it back,

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: walk it out.

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: A running back, walk it out. That's what we're going

43
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: to make. Run it back. Everybody say, run it back,

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: run and walk it out and walk it out. All right.

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: So the Word of God is like a seed, right,

46
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: seeds need soil. What else put it in the comments? Lighter, matriance, water,

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: sometimes fertilizer, It doesn't smell the best helps.

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: It out, but necessary helpful in the process.

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I actually think that when we just listen to a

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: sermon or read a Bible verse so fast, it's like

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: us throwing a seed on concrete and wondering why it

52
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: didn't produce anything. Yep, you know, like the parable of

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: the sower in Matthew thirteen, where Jesus said that the

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: birds will come and snatch it up, the thorns will

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: choke it out, the sunlight will just bake the seed.

56
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: And so this is an effort for us to take

57
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: my sermon, my first sermon of twenty twenty four.

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: Which was so good, thank you.

59
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: Very much much. And she's not biased. The theme of

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: the sermon was this is that day, and I'll explain

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: what that meant in just a moment. If you want

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: to stop this and watch that on Elevation Church YouTube,

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: please feel free to do so. I will not be

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: offended if you walk away and come back. I'll be

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: right here waiting for you whenever you're ready. But this

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: will work best if you heard that sermon. You can

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: still watch it. If you didn't hear that sermon, because

68
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: we're going to run it back, not necessarily show it

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: back or show clips here. But just Holly's got good notes.

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: She's a great note taker. She was a great student

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: in college. I used to copy off her notes. That

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: was one of the benefits of via her boyfriend and

73
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: we would study together. And still her notes are better

74
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: than mine. Like, look at her notes. Look at my notes.

75
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: What a disaster I am.

76
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: But I don't do that drawing thing.

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: Well.

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: When I finish my sermon and I look at your notes,

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's what I said. Good, that's good.

80
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: That's good. I said that. Yeah, yeah, I said that.

81
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you're cleaning them up. But

82
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: I want you to start us off, Holly, because I

83
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: love the front row flashbacks that you post and each

84
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: week you send to our staff. And I promised the congregation,

85
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I said, I'm putting part two on YouTube this week.

86
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: So the part two isn't going to be me just

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: teaching another sermon. I'll do that again next Sunday. I

88
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: already have a sequel in mind. This is more of

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: an opportunity for Holly and the great Chris Brown and

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Brittany at Gonzola to say this is what I heard,

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: and this is how I've been walking it out, and

92
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that together. The Bible says he who

93
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: fools suffers harm. No fools on this couch today. We're

95
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: just going to do this for as long as until

96
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: we get tired of talking about it. So thank you

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: for joining us, Holly. Why don't you kick it off

98
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: with a little run it back and then we'll walk

99
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: it out and I'll jump in and preach a little

100
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: more and you can ask me whatever you want.

101
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm of all, when we were going home

102
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: from church, I well, okay, let me back it up.

103
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: First of all, I cried in this message, and I

104
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: walked back and I gave you a hug, and I said,

105
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: that was exactly what I needed to hear, and so

106
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: I want to thank you for that. And then I

107
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: think I said to you at some point, I just

108
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: feel like that sermon was classic Steven Ferdick.

109
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: And what I mean by.

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: That is you are the master of wordplay, and so

111
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: you start off and of course you're like so organic

112
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: and you write down one day when and you're talking

113
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: to us all about one day when, which is perfect

114
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: for the start of a new year, because we all

115
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 3: have our one day wins for the year, for our life,

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: for our future, whatever.

117
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: And I'm just going.

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 5: Right along with you, not even planning for you to

119
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 5: do anything. And you switch it up, give me the

120
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 5: next one, and you tell us becomes a one day win.

121
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: And I'm telling you, like I think this will, this

122
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: will forever be in my head a one day win.

123
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: And you've heard me preach seven thousand times since we

124
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: were boys, you know, out into yeah woods. And you

125
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: texted me, what did you say?

126
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 6: Well, I said, the message is goat status because of

127
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 6: the same thing.

128
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, come on, wow, but it's so sticky. Well,

129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: the stickiness of it for me really ministered. And here's why,

130
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: because I could easily be this vision board guy. You

131
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: know this one day when I reached this certain status

132
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: in my anything, my preaching ability, my creative achievements, my

133
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: parenting patience, my net worth, anything you want to mention.

134
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: That's a surface level accomplishment. One day when I feel

135
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: good about myself. Yeah, one day, when then I will

136
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: have arrived. One day when then I'll put the time

137
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: into this or develop this new thing, or I'll get

138
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: a hobby, but just thinking like even getting to that

139
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: one day when that God plants in us the dream

140
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: and the vision that he gives us starts with a

141
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: one day wi in when. So for me, it wasn't

142
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: just trying to be clever that's how I have to

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: live my life.

144
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: No, And that's what I that is what I love

145
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: about your preaching. And I told you this, I said,

146
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: you are so good at taking something that God gives

147
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: you and living it out. And to me, this is like,

148
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: this is your sweet spot is having a vision, Like

149
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: you don't actually have a vision board, but I think

150
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: you have a vision board in your head and you

151
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: have this one day when with an E and you're

152
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: able to break it down into daily winds.

153
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: And I have seen you do this like.

154
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 3: You're just you're the best at it at just going Okay,

155
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: what's a win for today, or what's a win for

156
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: this week? Or what's a habit or a routine that

157
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to put into place?

158
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: So like, can you tell.

159
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: Us a little bit more about going from when to win?

160
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: It was because I was thinking about the people I

161
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: was preaching to and I was studying this passage that

162
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: God spoke to me three years ago in Isaiah twenty seven.

163
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you've had this verse written on your nightstand,

164
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: for it's.

165
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Sitting on a note card on my nightstand as we

166
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: speak up under some other books that I'm supposed to

167
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: be reading. But it's not a very practical scripture. It's

168
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: a prophetic scripture about the nation of Israel, and they

169
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: were in captivity, and they were oppressed, and God was

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: making them a promise. And I read it so many

171
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: times over the last few years, and I shared a

172
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: little bit about this scripture with our students at Youtheks

173
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: this summer. But something so granular stood out to me

174
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: this time, and I'm gonna share with you now. You

175
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: can follow along Isaiah twenty seven. Verse one, in that day,

176
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the Lord will punish with his sword, his fierce, great

177
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: and powerful sword, Leviathan, the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent.

178
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: He will slay the monster of the sea. I have

179
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: a whole sermon on that I hope to share one

180
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: day soon too. But then verse two, it picks up

181
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: the motif in that day, so it says it twice.

182
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: If you're following along, you'll see it in that day

183
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: sing about a fruitful vineyard. So verse one is in

184
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: that day, the Lord will punish Leviathan. I think this

185
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: has to do with God dealing with the things in

186
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: our life that drag us down. For many of you,

187
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: right now, you're fighting against a spirit of depression. You're

188
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: fighting against mental patterns of anxiety and everything you see

189
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: online that tells you take an ice bath and meditate

190
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: and break seven eggs over your head every morning at

191
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: seven am and say mantras that you got posted notes

192
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: up all around saying I am complete, and God's got

193
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: this and it doesn't break through. And the promise of

194
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: verse one is that God is fighting against everything that

195
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: brings his people down. And verse two gives us a

196
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: strategy that as God fights the battles that we can't

197
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: fight in our own strength, we are to watch this

198
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: verse two sing about a fruitful vineyard. And what first

199
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: opened my mind to the revelation of a day, Because

200
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: that's what I want you to get right now, is

201
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: the revelation of a day in that day. It's a

202
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: prophetic scripture. It's a term that's used to talk about

203
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: everything going from the second coming of Christ to the

204
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: judgment of God's people in certain context to the judgment

205
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: of God's enemies. But I started seeing a little differently.

206
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute. It says in that day

207
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: God's going to fight against Leviathan the things that us down,

208
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: and in that day we're supposed to be singing. So

209
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: when I saw that there's a song and a sword

210
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: in the same day, it sets my expectation. So I

211
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: called the message this is that day. All right, this

212
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: is going to be one of those days. You just

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: better wake up knowing it. There's going to be blessings.

214
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: I didn't expect today. A little smile I catch, or

215
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm able to give here there a little word of encouragement,

216
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: a little word of discouragement. So we accept it, all right. Well,

217
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: then I start having fun with it. I started reading

218
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: verse six, where it said in days to come, Jacob

219
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: will take root, Israel will butt and blossom and fill

220
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: all the world with fruit. So now I'm thinking, okay,

221
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: we got two actions happening in verse six. One is

222
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: going downward taking root, one is going upward bearing fruit. Yes,

223
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: and it showed me that each day we'll have its

224
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: ups and downs, and both are a part of our destiny.

225
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Both are a part of God's purpose. So my first

226
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: step was getting you to see that not only do

227
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: you have a new year in front of you, twenty

228
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: twenty four, but that every day God's mercies are new,

229
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: you get a new twenty four. Now that's a basketball term.

230
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a basketball fan, but I was watching a

231
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: basketball game a few years ago and the guy missed

232
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: a shot and he got an offensive rebound. And I

233
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: know that the rules have changed in the NBA because

234
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: I researched it before. I appreciate it. But back then,

235
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: when you would get an offensive rebound off the glass

236
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: in the NBA, the shot clock would go back to

237
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: a full twenty four seconds. So you get a whole

238
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: new twenty four every day, no matter what shot you

239
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: missed last year, no matter what shot you missed today,

240
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: no matter what YouTube video you were watching before this

241
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: one mine that you feel guilty about. Well, you're here now.

242
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: The revelation of the day for me was so powerful

243
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: because I can get paralyzed by five years from now,

244
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: and I need everybody to be honest for a minute.

245
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: Are you like me where you have so many one

246
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: day wins? Give me my card back with it.

247
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: I was gonna I was going to keep them.

248
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can have them when I'm done. But I

249
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: just need to be clear because its kind of tricky.

250
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: One day when all the all the things you're going

251
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: to accomplish for God, when you have more time to

252
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: do it, all the all the nice things you're going

253
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: to say to people, when the perfect opportunity comes up.

254
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: I told somebody the other day, one day, when I

255
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: get a chance, I'm going to tell you how much

256
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: you meant to me at this stage of my life.

257
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: And the Lord spoke to me.

258
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: Tell now, do it now?

259
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, get a one day win, like get

260
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: get get the things said the best you can today

261
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: and revise it tomorrow. So it's very practical for me,

262
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: but it also has a heaviness. That's why I didn't

263
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: want it to just be okay when when I get it,

264
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: you change the letters like I'm van a white on

265
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: wheel of fortune, change in letters or something. No, it

266
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: was more powerful to me. It was getting to realize

267
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: that the way that you're going to get to the

268
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: one day when you are a patient person, the one

269
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: day when you have financial security, the one day when

270
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: you're able to let the peace of Christ rest rule

271
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: and abide in your heart. The way you're going to

272
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: get to the one day when is through the power

273
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: of a one day when. So where does God want

274
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: me to win today? And just to take it one

275
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: silly step further and so you can see how demented

276
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: my brain is with wordplay. I even use wi in

277
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: as an acronym. What's important now?

278
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: Wow, I got to write that down.

279
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's important now? So good? And I want you

280
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: to start thinking that way this year because God has

281
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: given you this year, but he's given you this day.

282
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: So it was in my heart to help people, you know,

283
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be up there talking about

284
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: a fruitful vineyard and Jacob taking rude and Israel and

285
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: you're going, that's great for the Bible. But and I'm

286
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: just trying today to like have one family meal with

287
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: my family this week, or I'm just trying this week

288
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: to have one day where I wake up and exercise right.

289
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: And there's real power in the one day win and

290
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: it's changed my life and I just want to share

291
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: it with our entire church family and all those we

292
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: minister to.

293
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: Do you feel like your winds change from day to day?

294
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: I do you have some that are like I have

295
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: to do this every day, and then there are some

296
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: where you're like, you know, today this is my win.

297
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: That's a great question because it reminds me of a

298
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: conversation I had with a really wise man. I said,

299
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: I feel like if I'm winning in one area, I'm

300
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: losing in another area. I feel like with my life,

301
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: I can really be winning with what I'm producing creatively

302
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: or for the ministry, and then in an area at

303
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: home it needs my attention. And he said something so

304
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: powerful back to me. He said, You're not gonna win

305
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: everywhere every day. Just don't lose in the same area every.

306
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: Day, right right, Okay?

307
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: And it is it is a balance. Well, that's where

308
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: you get with the Holy Spirit, and that's where you

309
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: pay attention to what he's speaking to you. I mean,

310
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: what do you think about it? Because you listen to

311
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: the message, and this is called run it back, walk

312
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: it out. So for somebody who's not so much of

313
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: a win lost person, I don't know if this is

314
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: a male female thing or just a competitive thing. I

315
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: know that the term win isn't really your turn. I mean,

316
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: you don't wake up in the morning late. I need

317
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: to be a winner. I need to crush it. I

318
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: need to smash it. You know that's not your vibe. Yeah,

319
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: but how did you hear it about winning everyone?

320
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: I think that it sets me free to say a

321
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: one day win, because sometimes I get overwhelmed when I

322
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: think about people like you who have who are very

323
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: disciplined and so you have certain things that you do

324
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: every day. But for me, it really set me free

325
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: to realize, like, okay, wait, so for instance, today we're

326
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: here and we're having this conversation. We're also working on

327
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 3: shooting some videos for your new book release.

328
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: There's a plug do the new you pre order it.

329
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

330
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: And so this is not a winning mom day for me.

331
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: This is a winning work day for me. And so

332
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: when I lay my head on my pillow at night

333
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: and somebody is frustrated because they couldn't find their their

334
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: you know, their wrestling single isn't clean, or there's no

335
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: Chewy bars in the house, I'm not going to bed

336
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: feeling defeated because that wasn't the win for today for me?

337
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: Does that?

338
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: But I want to expand your definition of what a

339
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: win is.

340
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: Help.

341
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: Did you not set an example for your kids today

342
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: of what it means to come in and work hard

343
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: at meaningful ministry? Do they not need to see that

344
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: mom got up today and the biggest thing wasn't me

345
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: cleaning that wrestling single that maybe the biggest thing was

346
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: them learning how to do their own laundry. Because the

347
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: world is bigger than just us. I think a lot

348
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: of times you don't give yourself credit for the win

349
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: because of how you defined it. So what's your definition

350
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: of a win?

351
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: Wow?

352
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that a win is being able to

353
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: enable everybody else's laziness? Because sometimes it is through setting

354
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: an example of balancing a complicated life that you actually

355
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: give that kid a template that they can follow one

356
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: day if they find themselves as a mom or as

357
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: a dad. So I would challenge each of you to

358
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: expand your definition of what you call a win. I

359
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: like that movie Moneyball, and you can go back and

360
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: watch just the very last part of it. And this

361
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: guy hits a home run and it goes way over

362
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: I think, over centerfield wall, and he trips when he

363
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: gets to first base, and he's so discouraged because he

364
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: tripped on first base. But when they tap him and

365
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: they show him, wait a minute, that ball is over

366
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: the centerfield wall doesn't matter. You hit a home run

367
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: and you didn't even know it. Yeah, it's a great

368
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: picture of how the enemy discourages us because we trip

369
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: over this. Oh, I sounded so stupid when I said

370
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: that they weren't listening to you. They weren't even paying attention.

371
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: Then you go back and apologize to somebody you'd ever

372
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: done this. I'm so sorry when I did this, it

373
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: sounded so stupid, And they go, what are you talking about?

374
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: So you are penalizing yourself for losses that actually didn't

375
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: even occur in reality. Yeah, and when we sync up

376
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: with God, he shows us what's really important to him.

377
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: So helpful.

378
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: What do y'all think? And y'all are real quiet? I

379
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: want I want to hear what Brent thinks. I want

380
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: to hear what Chris thinks. I want to hear I

381
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: want to hear from the whole group.

382
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 6: Well, I was I was thinking, you've showed up a

383
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 6: lot of times for songwriting session and you leave and

384
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 6: maybe it wasn't the greatest song or the most productive day,

385
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 6: and we might text about it later that night or

386
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: the next day, and you're like, I showed up. I

387
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 6: see it as a win, and you know, I don't

388
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 6: know what'll come of that song, but I showed up,

389
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 6: and I've got to see me showing up as the

390
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 6: wind for yesterday. Yeah yeah, And so however that applies to,

391
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: you know, any facet of life, Like I may have

392
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 6: not felt like I had the deepest conversation with Joe

393
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 6: and my son at bedtime tonight, but I was by

394
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 6: his bed.

395
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: You were there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

396
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

397
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 6: I spent five minutes with him saying you day good,

398
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 6: talk about a movie that's nothing deep.

399
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: But I was there, and he probably didn't want more

400
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: than five minutes, ready to get back on anyway, exactly.

401
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: And here's what I'm trying to say, Chris, like, I'm

402
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: so glad you brought it up, because it actually came

403
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: to my mind when I was studying. I even found

404
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: a way to label those days where we go in

405
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: to write music and it doesn't feel great. I call

406
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: it a creative leg day. Anybody who lives weights knows

407
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: like skipping leg day is the number one temptation, and

408
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: at least it is for me. And yet it's the

409
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: day that you go in and you don't expect it

410
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: to feel the best. You don't expect it to be

411
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: the most fun, but you do it. And there are

412
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: days like that in parenting, there are days like that

413
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: in friendship, there are days like that, certainly in ministry.

414
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: And there are days like that for you where you

415
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: don't judge the worth of that day. We're talking about days, right,

416
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: You don't judge the value you of that day, the

417
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: success of that day. You don't even label that day

418
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: according to how good it felt in the moment. Back

419
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: to the workout illustration. I remember talking to this guy

420
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: who did CrossFit a few years ago, and he came

421
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: to see me, but he was like, you look kind

422
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: of rough. Honestly, he said, I'm sorry for the shape,

423
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: my man. I just had a really great workout. He

424
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: looked terrible. Yeah, he said, I threw up three times.

425
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: Oh no, it was a great workout. So I realized

426
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: that his definition of a great workout was based on

427
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: the result that it produced, yeah, not the feeling that

428
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: it provided.

429
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

430
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: A lot of times we're sitting there thinking it was

431
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: a horrible day. It might have been a tough day,

432
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't make it a horrible day. And I think

433
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: we've got to stop labeling things because some of those

434
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: days where we went away from songwriting and I came

435
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: home and told Holly that was a wasted day. Became

436
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: the seed of some of our biggest songs. Yeah, or

437
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: they became the a sermon. So you never know what

438
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: you're sowing for in that day. Many times you'll think

439
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: you said something and it fell on deaf ears, or

440
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: many times you think you do something and nobody even noticed.

441
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: And golly, g willakers. Three years later they go back

442
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: to that day and say, you remember when you and

443
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: you go, I kind of remember when I did that. Yeah, man,

444
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: that changed everything for me. See, people aren't processing in

445
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: real time either, and so we can't be so quick,

446
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: I think, to judge the effects of the seed that

447
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 1: we sow in any given day. And that's what's in

448
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: the text that's really interesting, right, He says verse three,

449
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm back in Isaiah twenty seven. Now follow along, keep

450
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: up this good stuff. Isaiah twenty seven, Verse three, I

451
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: the Lord watch over it. I water it continually. I

452
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: guard it day and night so that no one may

453
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: harm it. So this is the Lord's promise to his people,

454
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: he says, I water it continually. That means there are

455
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: going to be days that you plant something and God's

456
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: going to come along and water it, and then there

457
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: will be harvests that you will receive later from something

458
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: that you forgot you even did, or you thought it

459
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: was so simple, so insignificant. But we have to live

460
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: our lives in a frame of faith that says, Okay,

461
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: God is watering what I do, not what I'm going

462
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: to get around to one day when God is watering

463
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: what I put in the ground today, the scripture I

464
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: put in my heart today, God will water that. The

465
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: relationship that I reach out, make an effort today. It

466
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: may not heal today, but God will come along and

467
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: water that. And that gives me a lot of confidence

468
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: for the days where I feel like I'm a complete loser.

469
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 2: I loved how you called it down days.

470
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: Because at first, I mean, it really didn't.

471
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: I wrote it down. I went back and looked at it.

472
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't like calling it a down day,

473
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 2: but noe.

474
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: But like it's reframing that a day that I thought

475
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 3: maybe wasn't full of winds actually was my roots going

476
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: down that day. It was it was training, It was

477
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: it was progress, even though you didn't see it, or

478
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: even though it wasn't perfect, and I.

479
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 2: Really loved it.

480
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Might the down days or the dirty, dirty days. Dirty

481
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: the dirty days the root days that give us the

482
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: stability to appreciate the good days. Your roots determine your reach.

483
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: So if God is going to do something amazing in.

484
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: Your life, do you know that, like scientifically the tree

485
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 3: when you look at how wide a tree's branches are,

486
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: that their roots literally line up with their widest branch.

487
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: This is why I'll bring you to run it back,

488
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: walk it out session because I didn't know that at all.

489
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: I didn't know that at all. So the indication of

490
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: the things that God is going to do in your

491
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: life through generations or even through let's say a business

492
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: that God has put in your heart, or or something

493
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: that God has called you to communicate to the world,

494
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: you feel like, okay, well this day I didn't even

495
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't even have anybody in front of me. I'm

496
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: very alone, I'm very isolated. Start seeing those days as

497
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: root days and value them the same as the fruit days.

498
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: You have some days where you'll go, oh, I'm seeing

499
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: that payoff of that. Oh okay, it's getting through. Oh

500
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: it's working. Okay, great. Let those encourage you for the

501
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: next down day. I don't mean down in a negative sense. Yeah,

502
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean down in a sense that it feels negative,

503
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: but it is absolutely imperative and essential and necessary. Yeah,

504
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: it's not negative. It's necessary. Somebody put into comments it's necessary, beautiful,

505
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: it's necessary. And when we define days in such a

506
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: polar way, don't you think, britt when we say how

507
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: is your day and we start evaluating good or bad? Yeah, exactly,

508
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: that's too binary.

509
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love this so much because I'm even just

510
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: going back through the catalog of my day to day

511
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 4: thinking about how many wins have I forfeited ooh, because

512
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: I'm categorizing them wrong or incorrectly. And I was thinking

513
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 4: about everybody that might be joining us. And I love

514
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 4: how you pointed out the two scriptures, like Scripture one

515
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: where it's like the sword, right, there's a fight in it,

516
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: and then verse two.

517
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm singing and we talked.

518
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 4: You called it a strategy, and I was like, what

519
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 4: happens when we're not good at both of those strategies?

520
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 4: Like for me, I'm naturally a fighter, Like I don't

521
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: know why passed. I got it in me and I

522
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 4: know what sent me. I'm not always as quick to

523
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 4: celebrate or to sing, or to recognize the good. So

524
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: I know I got wins that I'm not recognizing. But

525
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 4: the concept that you're talking about, I think works the opposite, right, Like,

526
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: if I can get like a one day win, like,

527
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 4: it's going to put me on a trajectory, and the

528
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 4: same way, if I can't do that, it puts me

529
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: on another trajectory. So I don't know, like what you

530
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: would say to some of us that are forfeiting certain

531
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: wins in our life because we can't grasp both of

532
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 4: these concepts or both of these strategies. We don't know

533
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 4: how to accept the good, you know, the person that

534
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 4: can't receive the compliment or can't see the win and

535
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 4: the fact that you're working hard today, Holly, like showing

536
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: your kids a great example. But then also like there's

537
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: some of us that aren't the fighter, and I don't

538
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: know how to like stand strong in the midst of ncy.

539
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm still winning, and this is how I

540
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: identify my win today.

541
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that. I love that. I

542
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: love that question. Now, I don't know if you're gonna

543
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: love my answer, but I love the question because I'm

544
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: a fighter too, and what convicted me. We'll look at

545
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: it together. Go to Isaiah twenty seven to one. Okay,

546
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: follow along with me in that day, I will punish

547
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: with my sword. No, the Lord will punish with his sword.

548
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: So who's doing the fighting? The lord? Okay? Keep going

549
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: his fears great and powerful sword? Whose sword his sword?

550
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: Leviathan the gliding servant. I know I asked about mythological

551
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: creatures like Leviathan. You're like, can you describe Leviath? Then

552
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more to me, No, you can describe

553
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: him just fine. For yourself. You live with Leviathan. You

554
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: know your Leviath, then I know my Leviathan. For someone,

555
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be an addiction that you're hoping God

556
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: will break in twenty twenty four. And the problem is,

557
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: and I'm going to address this a little bit on Sunday, okay,

558
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: is that you thought it might be twenty three, you

559
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: thought it might be twenty two, you thought it might

560
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: be twenty one. And with every year that it didn't

561
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: with every year that he didn't deliver you, your hope

562
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: diminished a little bit. Yeah, and I really want to

563
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: make sure that this teaching comes across with a strong

564
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: emphasis of who's doing the fighting. God is fighting for you.

565
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

566
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: Put it in the comments right now. God is fighting

567
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: for me. He will fight for me, and he's fighting Leviathan.

568
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: And let's just finish verse one, brit because we're both

569
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: fighters and we need it. We need this reminder who's

570
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: doing the slaying. In verse one he will slay, Yes,

571
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: he will slay. And then verse two says in that

572
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: day you will sing, So you do the singing and

573
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: he will do the slaying. What in the world does

574
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: that mean? Pastor stevens sonfes to walk around my house singing, Okay,

575
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: I'll sing about a proof of vineyard cucumber melon and

576
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: come quts and like this isn't it? You know he's

577
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: loving James. You get sing all day long, it won't

578
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: pay your bills and it won't raise your children, and

579
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: it won't get you to work on time. So we're

580
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: not going back here on the idea that Look, we've

581
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: got to devote ourselves to what God has put in

582
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: our hand. That's one of my core teachings is that

583
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: God will do for you what you cannot do for you.

584
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: He will not do for you what you can do

585
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah. What I mean about it is that

586
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: victory belongs to the Lord, okay, and we are instruments

587
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: in his hand. And I'm trying to get you to

588
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: come from a place of victory rather than trying to

589
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: work to a place of victory, because I think that

590
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: will give you that momentum that you want to say.

591
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: If I feel like I'm losing everywhere, eventually, I don't

592
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: want to play this game anymore. Especially if you make

593
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: a man feel like the game is unwinnable.

594
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: He's done.

595
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: We will walk away. And so when we make walking

596
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: with God an unwinnable game for people, you know, now

597
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: I got a fast two hours. Now I gotta give

598
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: up cigarettes. Now, well, you might need to fast from cigarettes.

599
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: I remember a guy who told me one time he

600
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: was fast and from a chocolate porn pre marital sex.

601
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, you probably should keep that

602
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: fast going a little bit past lent. Those are things

603
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: just good to eliminate, not to abstain from for a

604
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: little while. But it was really really interesting to me

605
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: how he almost saught like, I'm white knuckling this thing

606
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: to live for God as long as I can, and

607
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: that's why I'm breaking it. Down into a day because

608
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: if you think, well, this year, I'm not gonna fight,

609
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna nag, I'm not gonna get mad, I'm

610
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: not gonna get upset. I'm not going to do any

611
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: of those bad things. This year twenty four is my year. No, no, no,

612
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: twenty four, one day at a time. Do you remember

613
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: even when I broke it up and said that the

614
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: average number of breadths a person takes his seven teen

615
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: to thirty thousand. Yeah, yeah, this is just from Google.

616
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: Do not fact check me. I don't know if it's true.

617
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: That part was crazy though, but I averaged it out

618
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: as I said, that's about on average seventeen to thirty

619
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: that's about twenty four thousand breadths. So even if you

620
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: just can take it to breathing in when I get

621
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: when I get really spun up, breathing is advanced. Yeah,

622
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: when I get really out of control. And so what

623
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get the fighter in me to seat

624
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: and brit This is the strategy of it is that

625
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: this outcome is in God's hands and the process of

626
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: singing about a fruitful vineyard. I don't think it's about

627
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: musical notes. I don't think it has anything to do

628
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: with music. I think it has to do with mindset.

629
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it has to do with the fact

630
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: that we're denying our problems. I think it's that we're

631
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: focusing on our blessings. Because if I'm singing about a

632
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: fruitful vineyard, Wow, what do I not have time to

633
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: focus on?

634
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

635
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: You're right, all the thorns and the weeds, and yes,

636
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: we deal with those things, but we do it from

637
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: a place of focusing on what God has given us.

638
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: So maybe that's the challenge today. Maybe maybe when you

639
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: hear one day that one. Maybe when you hear one

640
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: day when what you need to hear is not hey,

641
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: get up and get make sure you run your three

642
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: miles today, get in your rower. Do you two thousand meters?

643
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: Maybe you need to list one from yesterday, because I'm

644
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what you won somewhere yesterday? Yes, so good?

645
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: You won somewhere yesterday, yes, and even getting that momentum

646
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: in your mind. And if you're not a win lost

647
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: kind of person, you're like, I'm not competitive. I like

648
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: to bask. I'm more of a basker. Okay, just let's

649
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: call it. Let's call it relishing. Let's call it savoring.

650
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: Are you a foodie, Let's call it savoring. How about that?

651
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: I love it.

652
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: How about a one day savor. See it doesn't have

653
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: the same feel to it. That's why I say one day.

654
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: But I don't want this to turn into a competition

655
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: for you where you start saying, all right, well, I

656
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: gotta wind to day, I gotta wind today. I got

657
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: a wind today. It's just about getting you to see

658
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: that the out there somewhere that you hope to experience,

659
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: whatever that looks like, the internal state, the fruit of

660
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: the spirit, the love, joy, piece of patience, kind is goodness,

661
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: faith on this, gentlemen, and self control that we all

662
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: want to produce in our lives is in this process

663
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: of God watering his vineyard continually. And that's where I

664
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: want to leave you on this inaugural episode of running

665
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: back walk it out. I want to leave you thinking

666
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: about whose garden you are. You are God's garden. He

667
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: will take responsibility for weeding out and for watering. That

668
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: means you don't have to figure this out by yourself.

669
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: And that's where my teaching deviates a little bit just

670
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: from pure motivational teaching. I like motivational teaching or inspirational

671
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: personal development. I love that stuff. Where I'm called to

672
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: focus a little bit differently, though, is to get you

673
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: to realize is that this victory isn't in your hands.

674
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: It's in His hands, and He's given you victory all

675
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: around you, and I just want you to see a

676
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: little bit of it so that you go into this year,

677
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: whatever vision you have of one day, when whatever vision

678
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: you have of one day, when I want you to

679
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: recognize your victories of the one day, when this is

680
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: the day the Lord has made and you got something

681
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: to rejoice about today. So I want you just to

682
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: light up my comments right now, Okay, I want you

683
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: to put what is the victory that God gave you today?

684
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: And if you got to go all the way down

685
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: to I'm on breath twelve, six hundred and ninety three,

686
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: ninety four, yeah, ninety five, I just want you to

687
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: breathe that in and let it permeate your perspective today

688
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: and let the Lord fight the battles that are too

689
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: big for you. Let him deal with Leviathan. You just

690
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: get that leverage of the daily win, and I believe

691
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: this revelation will continue to unfold in your heart, and

692
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to be looking through the comments, and Holly's

693
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: going to be looking, and Chris is going to be looking,

694
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: and BRIT's going to be looking, and we're going to

695
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: be praying. In fact, I'm going to pray right now

696
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: that God will enable you to walk this out, to

697
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: walk into your one day win, just step by step Father,

698
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, I come into agreement with

699
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: your desires for each person who was led by you

700
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: to join with this experience. It was divinely timed that

701
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: they came across this video. It was orchestrated by you

702
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: because they were discouraged, defeated, or spread thin. And now

703
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: you've given us a focus and we even feel the

704
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: fruitfulness of your word going forth. Now, Lord, would you

705
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: water it. We've shared some thoughts today, some applications, some randomness,

706
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: some usings, but I believe there's been some revelation too,

707
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: And would you allow it to unfold as we each

708
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: day have a new twenty four And may this year,

709
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: as it unfolds, be made up of the days that

710
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: are committed to you in your hands in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen,
