Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. I'm the pastor of Elevation
Speaker 1: Church and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank
Speaker 1: you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope
Speaker 1: it builds your faith. Hope it gives your perspective to
Speaker 1: see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message.
Speaker 1: How many want to receive the Word of God today?
Speaker 1: How many want a fresh, big Bible lesson today? All right,
Speaker 1: if you're not standing, stand up for a moment. If
Speaker 1: you are standing, remain that way in the upright position,
Speaker 1: and we're about to take off. Look at Exodus chapter
Speaker 1: twelve with me. Thank you for your spirit Lord. Put
Speaker 1: that in the chat. Thank you for your spirit Lord.
Speaker 1: Welcome all over the world. We welcome you. Let us
Speaker 1: know where you're joining from right now, where you're worshiping from,
Speaker 1: not watching worshiping. I'm a participator. I'm not a spectator.
Speaker 1: I want to get in on it, what God is
Speaker 1: doing in the season. I don't want to be left out.
Speaker 1: Look at this scripture. I mentioned it last week. I
Speaker 1: told you that last week when I preached on comfort food,
Speaker 1: I had a tupperwaar anointing. And so hopefully your fridge
Speaker 1: has been stocked this week, and you've been able to
Speaker 1: nibble on what you need. That's a goal anyway, then,
Speaker 1: and I want to go back into one of the
Speaker 1: passages that I mentioned and really really see what God
Speaker 1: is saying to me. Please help me, Lord, as you
Speaker 1: lavished your word on me, helped me to access it
Speaker 1: now for your people who needed. Exodus twelve thirty seven,
Speaker 1: the Israelites journeyed from Ramses to Suckott. There are about
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children,
Speaker 1: and many other people went up with them, and also
Speaker 1: large droves of livestock, both flocks and herts. With the
Speaker 1: dough the Israelites had brought. With the dough the Israelite
Speaker 1: had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unloven bread.
Speaker 1: They baked loaves of unloven bread with the dough that
Speaker 1: they brought from Egypt. All right, lean into this, it's
Speaker 1: getting good. You smell the bread, all right, here it comes.
Speaker 1: The dough was without yeast because they had been driven
Speaker 1: out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare
Speaker 1: food for themselves. Now, the length of time the Israelite
Speaker 1: people lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years,
Speaker 1: and at the end of four hundred and thirty years
Speaker 1: to the very day, all the Lord's divisions left Egypt
Speaker 1: because the Lord kept vigil. Somebody say, God is looking
Speaker 1: out for me. That's not my sermon, but I needed
Speaker 1: to underscore it real quick in case you've been wondering lately.
Speaker 1: The Lord kept vigil. That means you don't have to
Speaker 1: watch all the things all the time Lord kept vigil.
Speaker 1: The Bible said, he doesn't slumber or sleep, so that
Speaker 1: means you ought to get some rest. Tell somebody take
Speaker 1: a nap. Take a nap. The storm will still be
Speaker 1: there when you wake up. Because the Lord kept vigil
Speaker 1: that night to bring them out of Egypt. On this night,
Speaker 1: all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the
Speaker 1: Lord for generations to come. I wanted you to get
Speaker 1: the full context, but really I want to go off
Speaker 1: of verse thirty nine, where it says the dough was
Speaker 1: without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt
Speaker 1: and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
Speaker 1: And I want to give you two titles that you
Speaker 1: can choose from. The first is more descriptive. It says
Speaker 1: on this title, we could say what God left out?
Speaker 1: What God left out? If you like your titles a
Speaker 1: little on the spicy side, we're gonna call this little
Speaker 1: sermon flat bread faith, Flat bread faith. Serve your word
Speaker 1: to the people, and use me as a waiter God
Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, Amen, Amen, what God left out? You
Speaker 1: never really tell anybody everything, not even yourself, not even God.
Speaker 1: Self awareness is an ongoing process. You tell yourself the
Speaker 1: story that you can live with, the version of events
Speaker 1: you can live with. But in our own little way,
Speaker 1: we're all revisionist historians. So when we compile how certain
Speaker 1: things went down in our life, we do it in
Speaker 1: a way that will accommodate our pain or our fear
Speaker 1: too fast. Back up, Lord said, slow down, slow down.
Speaker 1: Revisionist history. It's like you leave certain things out, you
Speaker 1: say a certain part, leave a certain part out, and
Speaker 1: you kind of stack it in a way that makes
Speaker 1: you feel better about it. Everybody does this. I do it,
Speaker 1: you do it. I've done it before. Oh that's staff
Speaker 1: member left because you know they were this and that
Speaker 1: and underperforming. Well, I'm still salty about it. So what
Speaker 1: you are getting is me seasoning with the details that
Speaker 1: I like, and then they will say a different well
Speaker 1: my season was over, and I'm like, no, you were
Speaker 1: just lazy and quit and didn't want to stick it out.
Speaker 1: And then there and then they're going back and they're like, well, no,
Speaker 1: this was going in my life and that was going,
Speaker 1: and we're all working off of our point of view.
Speaker 1: And that's that's that's very important to realize, is that
Speaker 1: we are all when it comes to how we understand
Speaker 1: our life doing a revisionist history. And another thing, if
Speaker 1: you like to write down things that the preacher says
Speaker 1: not mandatory, it's recommended, we're all reductionists. Wow. And that's
Speaker 1: when we take something that's incredibly complicated and make it
Speaker 1: sound so simple. So, you know, taking something that's so
Speaker 1: big and difficult to understand and just trying to boil
Speaker 1: it down to something that especially preaching, Like I'm going
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about preaching today because hey,
Speaker 1: you know that's that's something I care about, aren't you glad? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'd be bad if I didn't. But you want to
Speaker 1: boil it down, make it rhyme, you know, make it
Speaker 1: start with the same letters and all that. I do that.
Speaker 1: I like that, but sometimes I have noticed that I
Speaker 1: oversimplify what is actually very complicated. I'm preaching to you today.
Speaker 1: I came over, I came over. I brought a big
Speaker 1: old casserole over your hunger. So so, so that's one thing.
Speaker 1: But then I also sometimes overcomplicate what is really pretty simple,
Speaker 1: and both of those can get me in trouble. When
Speaker 1: you read the Bible, the biggest mistake that you can
Speaker 1: make is to think you already know what you're reading.
Speaker 1: You miss all kinds of stuff when you take out
Speaker 1: the parts revisionists, you take out the parts that make
Speaker 1: you feel uncomfortable, take out the parts that you don't
Speaker 1: initially understand, or when you try to boil it down
Speaker 1: to something that is palatable. You can't take all of
Speaker 1: the tension out of the truth. You can't. Well, you can,
Speaker 1: but you're not going to have a strong faith that way.
Speaker 1: You'll be weak. Then anytime something happens that doesn't clearly
Speaker 1: fit your version of the truth, then you won't have
Speaker 1: any shield to protect you from the attacks of the enemy.
Speaker 1: I need a little help online. This room's kind of
Speaker 1: sleepy today. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we all
Speaker 1: do it. We all do it. I tell people sometimes
Speaker 1: how our church started. But I don't tell him everything
Speaker 1: because you can't tell everything, you know. It's first of all,
Speaker 1: it would take forever. You can't go all the way back.
Speaker 1: And secondly, there are some things I don't even remember.
Speaker 1: It's like I blocked him out. I had this memory
Speaker 1: come back to me when I was preparing the sermon
Speaker 1: of how me and Holly went to this place one
Speaker 1: time and Nicole went with us. Nicole went with us.
Speaker 1: We were we drove about eight hours and we drove
Speaker 1: to preach at at camp and Adrian de Prey asked
Speaker 1: me to go tag team. He dicipled you in college,
Speaker 1: didn't He made you memorize scripture. If you missed a word,
Speaker 1: what'd you punch you in the jar or something like that.
Speaker 1: Adrian's this big intimidating god. This He used to throw
Speaker 1: chairs around on his sermon illustrations. You had to wear
Speaker 1: a motorcycle helmet to go to Adrian to pray sermon.
Speaker 1: Great man of God, great passion. I looked up to him.
Speaker 1: You ever hear Adrian do the four chairs? He had
Speaker 1: this one sermon he would put sticks down his pants.
Speaker 1: I still don't know what the thing was about. But
Speaker 1: he would. He would he would go gather sticks and
Speaker 1: shove them down anyway. He is a very powerful man
Speaker 1: of God. He told me. I blocked some of this
Speaker 1: stuff out, but it came back to me. He told me,
Speaker 1: I want you to meet me at such and such
Speaker 1: and tag team preached this camp with me. That was
Speaker 1: a dream come true for me. Tim. I thought, well, that's,
Speaker 1: you know, like getting to play with you know, Lebron
Speaker 1: or something like that. For me. At the time, I
Speaker 1: thought preaching with Adrian. And so we drove out there
Speaker 1: eight hours and when we got there, y'all, it was
Speaker 1: the weirdest situation. They said. When we got there, they said,
Speaker 1: welcome to hobo camp. I said, hobo camp. They said, yeah,
Speaker 1: tomorrow is the hobo parade. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: politically correct to say hobo anymore. I might get shut down.
Speaker 1: He canceled and all over this or not. But I
Speaker 1: didn't make it up. I didn't know it was a
Speaker 1: hobo camp. I just knew. Adrian asked me to go.
Speaker 1: He said, meet me out there. I drove out there
Speaker 1: and he would even there and I asked the lady.
Speaker 1: The lady running the camp was ninety years old and
Speaker 1: legally blind, and it was inner house, and there's one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. Am I making this up. It's a
Speaker 1: whole campground. But then the meeting was in the house
Speaker 1: and the lady was so nice. There was nothing. I
Speaker 1: just didn't I didn't know that it was a hobo camp, right,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that they were divided. We went to
Speaker 1: eat in the cafeteria the first day and the kids
Speaker 1: all start banging their glasses on the table in Unison,
Speaker 1: because they all come back to the same camp every year.
Speaker 1: Is my first time they start banging their their glasses
Speaker 1: on the table and they start singing. I remember the song.
Speaker 1: How do I remember this? Hatfield's, Yoakums and McCoy's and
Speaker 1: kettles have gathered together for some fun, fun, fun fun.
Speaker 1: Some have come by box car, some have come from walking.
Speaker 1: Oh there's a travel by their thumb thumb, thumb, thumb.
Speaker 1: Though we roam a thousand miles away, we will return
Speaker 1: here for convention data. I don't remember the rest, but
Speaker 1: I remember that much. And I was so freaked out
Speaker 1: and Adrian wasn't even there. That's why I went to
Speaker 1: the lady run. I said, where's Adrew say, don't get
Speaker 1: here til Sunday. So he gets here Sunday, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for him, like, Man of God. You didn't You left
Speaker 1: out the part where it was a hobo camp and
Speaker 1: a hobo pray. You left out the part where I
Speaker 1: had to do the first two sessions by myself. I
Speaker 1: didn't have a sermon ready. You left Oh come on,
Speaker 1: he said, Yeah, I left that part out because I
Speaker 1: thought if I didn't leave it out, you wouldn't show up.
Speaker 1: Y'all thought I was just having a random flashback, like
Speaker 1: pray for pastor he's over caffeinated. No, no, no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: it came back to me for a reason he left
Speaker 1: it out. Today, I don't want to talk to you
Speaker 1: about what God brought the Israelites through the Red Sea,
Speaker 1: because I figure you've heard that part before. I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about who he struck down,
Speaker 1: the firstborn of Egypt to cause Pharaoh to let his
Speaker 1: people go with a mighty hand and outstretched arm, because
Speaker 1: I figure you've heard about that and it's really scary too. Instead,
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention something that happened when they were
Speaker 1: leaving that you can skip over. You can skip over
Speaker 1: it so easily, but it really speaks to me. It
Speaker 1: said that when they left Egypt, where they had been
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty years, and by way of review,
Speaker 1: they were not in Egypt because of something they did wrong.
Speaker 1: They were in Egypt because that was the place God
Speaker 1: provided for them when God finally brought them out as
Speaker 1: their situation had changed from one of provision to imprisonment.
Speaker 1: The Bible records an important detail that says they left
Speaker 1: with bread. One verse says it was wrapped in their
Speaker 1: clothes on their shoulders, and the bread was unleavined. It
Speaker 1: says specifically the dough was without yeast because they had
Speaker 1: to leave so fast, they didn't have time to prepare
Speaker 1: food for themselves. And I was thinking, if God had
Speaker 1: the foresight and the planning ability to get them ready,
Speaker 1: to get all of the clothes of the Egyptians, all
Speaker 1: of the jewelry, all of the things they took, if
Speaker 1: God could plan out all ten plagues to get his
Speaker 1: people out, surely he could have had them bake the
Speaker 1: bread the night before. So the only thing I can
Speaker 1: think is that God didn't want them to take yeast
Speaker 1: from Egypt into the place of their promise when we're
Speaker 1: praying over a new year, I told you I was
Speaker 1: going to focus on room to receive. Everybody, say room
Speaker 1: to receive, say it out loud, like with your mouth
Speaker 1: and your vocal cords and your larynx and stuff. Room
Speaker 1: to receive, room to receive. Put as many o's as
Speaker 1: you want in the word. Room, room to receive. That's
Speaker 1: why I give God a great, big praise. I want
Speaker 1: him to have a whole lot of room to run
Speaker 1: around and do what he wants to do. And I
Speaker 1: found out sometimes you can have a big room that's cluttered.
Speaker 1: You can have a big gift that's cluttered. You can
Speaker 1: have a smart mind that's cluttered. You can have a
Speaker 1: good relationship that's cluttered. But God is doing something in
Speaker 1: this text that I wonder has He been doing in
Speaker 1: your life, my life, this church, this ministry, is that
Speaker 1: rather than God demonstrating his power through what he adds,
Speaker 1: he gives his people a lesson in leaving it out,
Speaker 1: taking a deep breath and shout, leave it out. One
Speaker 1: two three. You weren't ready, I'll do it again. One
Speaker 1: two three, leave it out, leave it out, he said,
Speaker 1: get up in a hurry, out of Egypt, and they
Speaker 1: didn't even have time to let the bread rise. That's
Speaker 1: what the yeast does, It makes the bread rise. And
Speaker 1: before the bread could even rise, they had to get out.
Speaker 1: They didn't even have time to prepare for a global pandemic,
Speaker 1: I mean for the exodus. Sometimes my mind goes back
Speaker 1: and forth, like a do ad on TikTok or something.
Speaker 1: It's going back and forth. So I want you to
Speaker 1: ask a question today, and this could be very good homework,
Speaker 1: or we could just do it right now. Let's do
Speaker 1: it right now. Let's do right now. We've got time, right,
Speaker 1: we got time. You got anything better to do than
Speaker 1: hear the word of the eternal God who sits on
Speaker 1: the throne and having above all principle, these and authorities. Sorry,
Speaker 1: so let's do it right now. What is God leaving
Speaker 1: out in my life right now to lead me to
Speaker 1: where he called me all along? And I want to
Speaker 1: do it over under a couple of different headings. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about it from disappointments, that's number one.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it through deficiency, and then
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it through deletions. Feed them
Speaker 1: back to me real quick. Disappointments put it in the
Speaker 1: chat next one deficiency and three deletions. They left Egypt
Speaker 1: with bread with no yeast, and they went into a
Speaker 1: place where they had no knowledge of how to survive. Remember,
Speaker 1: they went into the wilderness. God gave amana. All of
Speaker 1: that is awesome. You know, when I read the Bible
Speaker 1: sometimes I think the more important things that we learn
Speaker 1: are in the spaces where nothing is written. And I
Speaker 1: want to give you a few examples of that, because
Speaker 1: in your life, a lot of times it will not
Speaker 1: be the obvious things that will leave the greatest clues
Speaker 1: to what God has called you to do. One example
Speaker 1: that I thought of that was when God told Moses
Speaker 1: his name, he said I am And I figured out
Speaker 1: over time that God didn't get tongue tied about what
Speaker 1: came next. He wanted to leave it open. We want
Speaker 1: to limit God right. We want a picture of God
Speaker 1: that we can hang in our kitchen. We want a
Speaker 1: picture of Jesus that looks just like somebody with our
Speaker 1: same last name. But when God left that blank, he
Speaker 1: wanted you to know that He will not be confined
Speaker 1: to something that you can call him with human language,
Speaker 1: or a picture that your eyes can perceive. Let me
Speaker 1: show you this. In the New Testament, Acts chapter one
Speaker 1: is kind of like Numbers twelve or Exodus twelve, because
Speaker 1: it's a picture of a nation in transition. It's the
Speaker 1: same thing in Acts one, it's the same thing in
Speaker 1: the New Testament. Jesus is leaving, the Holy Spirit is coming,
Speaker 1: and life is happening in that transition. Life happens in
Speaker 1: the transitions, Life happens in the car, Life happens on
Speaker 1: the way to stuff, Life happens with something that came
Speaker 1: up on your caller idea and you don't even know
Speaker 1: what number that was. Life happens good and bad in
Speaker 1: places you didn't know to look. And so this is
Speaker 1: a This is a parallel that God gave me. They
Speaker 1: were coming out of Egypt. God was bringing his church
Speaker 1: out of a religious system in Acts chapter one. So
Speaker 1: they're standing there talking to Jesus, who they've walked with
Speaker 1: in Acts one, and look at verse six. They gathered
Speaker 1: around and asked him, Lord, are you x one six
Speaker 1: at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel.
Speaker 1: But God was not going to restore what they had before.
Speaker 1: He was going to replace it with something much better.
Speaker 1: I gotta get this through to somebody. God. God, God,
Speaker 1: God is not going to restore the earlier version of
Speaker 1: your life. God is not going to make things back
Speaker 1: like they were. He doesn't do that. That's not his thing. Jesus.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Jesus was like eight d or
Speaker 1: anything like that, but he couldn't do the same miracle
Speaker 1: the same way. He's spitting and touching and speaking, and
Speaker 1: it's it's not gonna be like it was now now.
Speaker 1: When they asked him this, they said, Lord, are you
Speaker 1: at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Speaker 1: I want you to notice what he said back to them,
Speaker 1: It's not for you to know the times of the
Speaker 1: dates Father set by his own authorny. He reveals his
Speaker 1: power not by the details that he puts in, but
Speaker 1: by the details that he left out. He could have
Speaker 1: told him the answer to that. You think he didn't
Speaker 1: know and you didn't have a plan for it. You
Speaker 1: think God is like, oh, I didn't see this thing
Speaker 1: happening over there in China. This is a real game changer.
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? Gabriel, Hey, Michael, get your
Speaker 1: war clothes on. There's a really got caught off guard.
Speaker 1: Goodness of sam Bush on the no no, no no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: That blank space right there, that's the place where we
Speaker 1: learn to believe. See, if we know something, we don't
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to believe it. I don't have to
Speaker 1: believe what I know. I have to believe what God spoke.
Speaker 1: You want another one. God is often revealed by what
Speaker 1: he leaves out more than what he puts in. You
Speaker 1: really want another one? I got about three hundred of these,
Speaker 1: all right, let me give you another one. When they
Speaker 1: talk about Abraham in the Bible, he's known as the
Speaker 1: father of faith, the father of many nations, right, and
Speaker 1: it gives this little reductionist verse, revisionist history. It says
Speaker 1: Abraham believed God and it was credited to him for righteousness. Now,
Speaker 1: for someone who's been studying the Bible like I have
Speaker 1: these twenty and some years, twenty and some you like
Speaker 1: that leaving it open, let you know exactly how long
Speaker 1: he said. He did a lot more than believe God.
Speaker 1: He lied about who his wife was, He has sex
Speaker 1: with Hagar, who was supposed to be cleaning the house.
Speaker 1: He did a lot more than You don't like the
Speaker 1: real Bible, do you? Oh? You like that airbrush. You
Speaker 1: want me to leave this stuff out that you don't
Speaker 1: like about your Bible heroes. No, here's the thing about it.
Speaker 1: All that was left out when Paul wrote Romans, and
Speaker 1: I was going, why why did God leave that out?
Speaker 1: And I figured out that Abraham's life was not defined
Speaker 1: by his failures, not by God. It was defined by
Speaker 1: his faith. You got it? Are you getting it? So
Speaker 1: when Paul gets ready to describe Abraham, he doesn't mention
Speaker 1: the things we might mention. Oh, then they went bankrupt,
Speaker 1: and then and then they're kind of over there. He
Speaker 1: mentions none of that. He said he believed God. That's
Speaker 1: what counts. That's what matters. That's what will be said
Speaker 1: after the fact, even with the ups and downs. Leave
Speaker 1: it out. Leave it out. Last week I was preaching
Speaker 1: about the prodigal son, and I was mad at the
Speaker 1: dad and the story right because the younger one took
Speaker 1: his money and wasted it. Let's go to that passage
Speaker 1: real quick, Luke fifteen. I love the Word of God, Skinner,
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I love it. My
Speaker 1: hardest parted in finding out something to preach. My hardest
Speaker 1: part is figuring out what to leave out because this
Speaker 1: thing is so good to me. I told Abby last night.
Speaker 1: She came in, she said, you got your sermon ready?
Speaker 1: I said, no, I got three. She said, you'll find
Speaker 1: one verse to bring them all together. You always do.
Speaker 1: Did you say that? Or am I making it up?
Speaker 1: She was a prophet because I didn't know. I didn't
Speaker 1: know what it had to do with Yeaston bred and
Speaker 1: the prodigal son. I'm like, I guess they both have
Speaker 1: food in them, but what else? Watch this? You ready?
Speaker 1: Whoa luke fifteen? Luke fifteen? So the younger brother he
Speaker 1: goes out and he's doing his you know, younger brother stuff.
Speaker 1: And he's out there, you know, spending everything he had,
Speaker 1: trying to be independent from the father. You know, I
Speaker 1: want my freedom. It's not really free, It's not really free.
Speaker 1: When the devil tempts you, he leaves a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff out about what it's going to cost you. You
Speaker 1: think God's the only one who leaves stuff out. The
Speaker 1: devil has the same strategy. He will tell you all
Speaker 1: about the feeling. I gotta go back real quick. I
Speaker 1: gotta go back real quick. When they were saying we
Speaker 1: wish we were back in Egypt, remember from last week. Remember,
Speaker 1: and they said we had in Egypt. You also had
Speaker 1: an unreasonable quota of bricks that you had to make
Speaker 1: with not enough straw. You left that out out. You
Speaker 1: left that out. And there's a way our memory gets selective,
Speaker 1: all the good old days. I should probably leave this out.
Speaker 1: We could take that out later. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that was. But look at me, I'm printing the Bible. Now.
Speaker 1: You remember how the fish tasted, but you forgot how
Speaker 1: the Pharaoh treated you. You're leaving something out. You're leaving
Speaker 1: something out. You're leaving the wrong stuff out, all right.
Speaker 1: So the younger brother, he's like, oh god, I'm hungry.
Speaker 1: I'm hungry. I remember my father. We used to eat
Speaker 1: around there, We ate good around there. I'm going back
Speaker 1: to my father. I'm not gonna beg like this anymore.
Speaker 1: And you get there, right, You're like, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this different. I'm gonna set some prime. I'm sick of this.
Speaker 1: I don't want to live this way. Right Like when
Speaker 1: we say go back to your father, what does that mean?
Speaker 1: I don't want that to be abstract for you. It
Speaker 1: means going back to who you truly are, being known
Speaker 1: by your identity, not seeking after it by trying to
Speaker 1: add status and stuff and layers and personas and busyness
Speaker 1: and think that that's somehow going to fulfill your life
Speaker 1: is not gained the world and lose your soul. So
Speaker 1: that's what it meant. When he came to his senses
Speaker 1: and came back to his father, and he had a
Speaker 1: speech ready, he wrote a whole speech, father, I have
Speaker 1: sinned against Heaven, against you. I'm no longer worthy to
Speaker 1: be called your son. Make me like one of your
Speaker 1: hired servants. Verse twenty Luke fifteen. He got up and
Speaker 1: went to his father, And what's what happened? While he
Speaker 1: was still a long way off his father's sa him
Speaker 1: was filled with compassion. He ran to his son. Can
Speaker 1: you believe this undignified decision of a great wealthy man
Speaker 1: who has hired servants to run toward his son who
Speaker 1: wasted his money. I see the son getting his speech
Speaker 1: ready because he didn't expect to see his father until
Speaker 1: he rounded the corner. But before he could get all
Speaker 1: these things out of his mouth, I'm not worthy, Make
Speaker 1: me a servant. I'm so horrible. Before he could get
Speaker 1: to any of that, the father said to his servants. Quick,
Speaker 1: bring the best road, put it on him, put a
Speaker 1: ring on his finger, sandals on his feet. Way to
Speaker 1: have a speech to give you where I'm going to
Speaker 1: relist all the bad things I did. Huh. I hear
Speaker 1: God saying leave that out. That's not what this moment
Speaker 1: is about. That's not why I'm convicting you so I
Speaker 1: can just so that I can just crush you under
Speaker 1: the weight to bad decisions. I know you got a
Speaker 1: lot of those thoughts too, But if I'm hearing God right,
Speaker 1: he's saying, lead that out. Wow, I don't know you
Speaker 1: by those things that you identify yourself by. Lead that out.
Speaker 1: Stop introducing yourself to the next season of your life
Speaker 1: with the resume of your regrets from the last one.
Speaker 1: Leave that out. Leave it out, leave it out, leave
Speaker 1: it out, leave it out, leave it out. You know
Speaker 1: when you go in your mind and you're like, I
Speaker 1: think God is calling me to do but da da
Speaker 1: da leave that out. Go back to the first thing
Speaker 1: you said and make a little sandwich with the last
Speaker 1: thing God has said, and leave out whatever you put
Speaker 1: in between, because that's the space for you to believe. Right.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to talk about this ointment.
Speaker 1: I am talking about disappointment. The Father had every right
Speaker 1: to be disappointed in the sun, but he left that out.
Speaker 1: He left that out. And I wonder why are we
Speaker 1: so quick to put stuff back on people that God
Speaker 1: is leaving out. God doesn't talk to them like that.
Speaker 1: God doesn't see them like that. God doesn't judge them
Speaker 1: like that. And we do leave it out next time
Speaker 1: this week, you get a little something in you. It
Speaker 1: feels real good. Right, you're gonna say something bad about
Speaker 1: somebody you know, Oh, well, they're good, you know. And
Speaker 1: I heard shine to leave it out. I hope y'all
Speaker 1: make a meme out of me. I hope y'all make
Speaker 1: a meme out of me. Leave it out, leave it out,
Speaker 1: leave it out, leave it out, put your little speech off,
Speaker 1: put your little self righteous thing. And so we don't
Speaker 1: know what to leave out. And God's trying to send
Speaker 1: us right the Holy Spirit, but we need too many details.
Speaker 1: And because we will not leave the details in the
Speaker 1: hands of God, we cannot receive what He has given
Speaker 1: us for this moment. So there come moments in your life,
Speaker 1: And I wonder are you in one right now, right
Speaker 1: now where God is saying I'm calling you out of Egypt.
Speaker 1: But you can't wait for the red to rize. You
Speaker 1: can't wait for everything to be perfect. You can't wait
Speaker 1: for everything to be convenient. You can't wait for everybody
Speaker 1: to cheer you on. You can't wait till it makes
Speaker 1: total sense. You can't wait till it comes on paper.
Speaker 1: You can't wait till you have the facts. You can't
Speaker 1: wait until you have more strength. You can't wait until
Speaker 1: you have more wisdom. You can't wait till you have
Speaker 1: the trophy. You gotta celebrate right now. You gotta go
Speaker 1: right now. You gotta have faith, flat bed, flat bread faith.
Speaker 1: Almost have flat bed like a big truck backing up
Speaker 1: beat beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, with the blessings of God.
Speaker 1: But does he have anywhere to put him? Flatbred faith,
Speaker 1: flatbread faith. I don't know what to call the sermon,
Speaker 1: But do you have anywhere for it? Or are you scrolling?
Speaker 1: At the same time I'm preaching and you don't even
Speaker 1: have a place in your heart? The thorns are growing
Speaker 1: at the same time the seed is hidden the soil.
Speaker 1: Jesus of Nazareth, come and preach to these people. I
Speaker 1: need you, Lord, It's amazing. Well God sends to your life,
Speaker 1: and you know he does. For he sends, he takes
Speaker 1: something away, and in between. Your job is to believe
Speaker 1: that something better is coming. She said, I'm leaving you
Speaker 1: in the body. I'm sending my spirit. I want you
Speaker 1: to go. What verses it? Star? What versues it? Give me?
Speaker 1: Acts one? Fourteen? Is it? Maybe fourteen? He said, wait
Speaker 1: for the Holy Spirit. Leave a blank for the part
Speaker 1: that you don't know about right now. Oh God, how's
Speaker 1: my kid going to turn out? And what college are
Speaker 1: they going to go into? They're three? Your baby is three.
Speaker 1: You can put Duke Jammy's on them all you want,
Speaker 1: but they might go to you. N see, you can't
Speaker 1: control that. It's a regional joke. But on fourteen fourteen?
Speaker 1: Acts one fourteen? What is it? Star? A bunch of names?
Speaker 1: They together joined together. They all join together constantly in prayer,
Speaker 1: along with with the woman and Mary. No, because that's
Speaker 1: who was there, Mary and the mother and all that
Speaker 1: other people. Go back to the thirteen maybe when ye
Speaker 1: when they arrived they went upstairs to the the room.
Speaker 1: Why did they go to the room to what? He said?
Speaker 1: They went to the room to receive. Do you have
Speaker 1: room to receive. Do you have the right people in place?
Speaker 1: Because I do want to preach a sermon one of
Speaker 1: these weeks here early in the year about seasonal people,
Speaker 1: and I will, God permitting, I will, God permitting, I will.
Speaker 1: But let's start with the place. You know, you're the temple.
Speaker 1: Crazy to me, however many times I read the scripture,
Speaker 1: I just miss it until I make more room in
Speaker 1: my heart to receive it. You know, It's like I
Speaker 1: read this verse a million times where it said you
Speaker 1: are always with me. All that I have is yours.
Speaker 1: And I love that verse. You're always with me, all
Speaker 1: that I have is yours. It's like a great thing
Speaker 1: to pray. Right, God, you are always with me. All
Speaker 1: that I have is yours. And just when JJ and
Speaker 1: gregging them, they had their campus pastor meeting the other day,
Speaker 1: and I zoomed on in the h I was thinking,
Speaker 1: in the room where it happens, in the zoom where
Speaker 1: it happens, well, lin Manuel, annoying the apostle lin Manuel.
Speaker 1: Miranda once said, I want to be in the zoom
Speaker 1: where it happens. Well. When I was talking to y'all,
Speaker 1: the verse came to me, you were always with me
Speaker 1: all I have is yours. When I told you that verse,
Speaker 1: I left something out. I left out who said it,
Speaker 1: because it sounds like something we say to God. I
Speaker 1: wrote a song with some friends, but I started it
Speaker 1: in my basement one night. I don't like the way
Speaker 1: my voice sounds that much, Like sometimes it sounds good
Speaker 1: in a certain range, but in other parts. I just
Speaker 1: don't like to hear it that much. But it's okay
Speaker 1: in a certain range, you know. And I said that
Speaker 1: that way on purpose because one time I said on
Speaker 1: stage I'm not a singer, and Holly said, next time
Speaker 1: you talk about that, leave that out. Did you ever
Speaker 1: say you're not a singer again? I got scared, like
Speaker 1: God might give me nodules or throat cancer or something
Speaker 1: if I said it. I was like, okay, I'm to
Speaker 1: leave that out. But the fact is I have to
Speaker 1: go in this big echoe room to sing, and then
Speaker 1: I'll send these memos to Chris. He can tell you
Speaker 1: and and different people. And I wrote the thing that
Speaker 1: said I am available. I hear you call I am available.
Speaker 1: Wasn't many notes, but it was just a thought. And
Speaker 1: a little while later we got together with some friends
Speaker 1: and some different things came together and the song is
Speaker 1: something that we recorded. We sang it earlier in the
Speaker 1: in the service that I was in the part of
Speaker 1: the song that really touches me says, here I am
Speaker 1: you can have it all. And that's a great prayer.
Speaker 1: In fact, right now where you are, just put your
Speaker 1: pen down and take in notes, your phone, all that,
Speaker 1: and just lift your hands like like like like this,
Speaker 1: like lift it, lift it up and say, here I
Speaker 1: am you can have it all, as a song of render.
Speaker 1: Now put your hands down. I love something out in
Speaker 1: the text that wasn't something that someone said to God.
Speaker 1: It was something that the father said to the son.
Speaker 1: And when I show you this, it's going to flip
Speaker 1: how you're going to be living this week. In Luke
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty one, the father said to the son, the
Speaker 1: older brother, the one who wouldn't celebrate, not the one
Speaker 1: who wasted money, but the one who was wasting his life.
Speaker 1: He said, my son, you are always with me, and
Speaker 1: everything I have is yours. So I was thinking, the
Speaker 1: next time we sing available, we can sing the same words,
Speaker 1: but we can sing them instead of with our hands
Speaker 1: like this, Here I am you can have it all.
Speaker 1: Now I want you to do this with me. We
Speaker 1: can sing them with our hands like this, because that's
Speaker 1: what the Father is saying to you. You are always
Speaker 1: with me, and all I have is yours. All I
Speaker 1: have is yours. Some of the clothes Elijah wears are
Speaker 1: from my closet. That's all right. All I have is yours.
Speaker 1: The ones in your closet are mine too, if you
Speaker 1: want to get technical about it. All I have is yours.
Speaker 1: And have it changed my thing? Because I always thought
Speaker 1: it was this this, this, this, you know, like you
Speaker 1: can have it God, And God's like, yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: real good deal for me. You can have it. Oh God.
Speaker 1: God's like, thanks, well, I'll bargain my blood for your broken.
Speaker 1: But if you flip it and you say here I am,
Speaker 1: here I am, you can have it all. What if
Speaker 1: God is saying that to you while you're saying it
Speaker 1: to him. The power of that point was in what
Speaker 1: I left out. I didn't tell you that the Father
Speaker 1: said it to the son, so you thought you were
Speaker 1: supposed to say it to the father. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's by grace. God's bringing you into a grace space.
Speaker 1: Everything that's being removed is making room for you to receive.
Speaker 1: There was no yeast in the loaf. God didn't want
Speaker 1: Egypt's yeast in your life for this next season, and
Speaker 1: he wanted them to eat it, to eat the Passover
Speaker 1: meal every year right to remember not only what God
Speaker 1: brought them out of, but it was to remind them
Speaker 1: to have flat bread faith that if you don't have enough,
Speaker 1: that's all right, you can still eat flat bread. Y'all
Speaker 1: are too luxurious. I'm telling you right now, y'all need
Speaker 1: a bubble bath blessing. Look at me, some people need
Speaker 1: a yeast roll. Word of God. It's got to be
Speaker 1: buttered like you wanted. You ever go to Quincy's with
Speaker 1: a big fat yeast roll, wasn't it. Quincy's was a Quincy's.
Speaker 1: Some of y'all need the yeast roll blessing. Some of
Speaker 1: y'all need the Christy kream blessing. But how many of
Speaker 1: y'all got flat bread faith and that kind of faith?
Speaker 1: Watch this, somebody somewhere is didn't this cause that's like
Speaker 1: I didn't have enough. But somehow this is the fish
Speaker 1: and the loaves in the New Testament. This is David
Speaker 1: with one I see David showing up to the battle lives.
Speaker 1: I see you showing up to your life with one stone,
Speaker 1: five foot seven, looking small next to a nine foot philistine.
Speaker 1: But I got flat bread. I got cheese and bread
Speaker 1: for my brothers, and I got a rock, gotta knockout
Speaker 1: a bear, and I gotta praise that will stut depressing.
Speaker 1: Flat bread faith, flat bed for flat bed, flat bread.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. Get God to praise.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no stop. You think we're
Speaker 1: praising him because of what God gave us. We're praising
Speaker 1: God because of what he took out, what he removed,
Speaker 1: what he proomed from Lord Room. We got flat bread faith.
Speaker 1: We're going into Canaan, Egypt. This is not our emotional home,
Speaker 1: and the wilderness is not our destination. Flat bread faith.
Speaker 1: What God leaves out is what makes you a masterpiece.
Speaker 1: They said six hundred thousand left Egypt, and they didn't
Speaker 1: count the women and children or the rabble. But it
Speaker 1: was the rabble. They didn't count what they left out
Speaker 1: of the number that cost them in the wilderness. You
Speaker 1: see how it works. That's what God leaves out. I'm
Speaker 1: not a great singer, you know that's awesome. I'm not
Speaker 1: a great singer. It made me surround myself with great singers.
Speaker 1: See how it goes. I told we had a board
Speaker 1: meeting the other day where we oversee the direction of
Speaker 1: the future of the church, and it was amazing to
Speaker 1: celebrate what God has done. In a global pandemic, with
Speaker 1: the inability to open most of our campuses to full capacity,
Speaker 1: God still grew us how I don't know. He left
Speaker 1: out what I thought we needed, and he gave us
Speaker 1: what we didn't know to ask for. True for you too.
Speaker 1: And I told Holly it was all these numbers and
Speaker 1: chunks as our CFO. And he started the church with
Speaker 1: me chunks, and Amy started the church with me in Holly.
Speaker 1: And I was telling Holly afterwards how my eyes went
Speaker 1: blurry while he was going through the numbers just a blessing.
Speaker 1: I was blurry with the blessings of God and a
Speaker 1: little zoned out to me. I like words more than numbers.
Speaker 1: But that's another thing I said one time preaching, I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not a business man, I'm a preacher. Holly said,
Speaker 1: leave that out. You are a businessman. You're everything God
Speaker 1: called you to be. He built a great ministry. Dog's
Speaker 1: annoying you so I never said it again until just
Speaker 1: now to tell you that I've never said it again.
Speaker 1: It's not true. And I was telling Holly when we
Speaker 1: were we went on a walk just to decompress before
Speaker 1: I started getting into the sermon, and Holly I said, Holly,
Speaker 1: it's amazing that God sent us chunks. And Amy, I said,
Speaker 1: it's just amazing, I said, I told her this. I said,
Speaker 1: even what makes him get on my nerves is what
Speaker 1: makes him so great for us to partner in the gospel.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you'll run up to me talking about I'll be
Speaker 1: working on a book or a song or something and
Speaker 1: be like, are we ready to put it on Spotify?
Speaker 1: I'm like, on Spotify, I hadn't even finished the verse yet.
Speaker 1: I don't even have a second verse. That's what makes
Speaker 1: us great is what God left out of me. What
Speaker 1: God left out of me, he put in him. Now,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, You're complete in Christ. So if
Speaker 1: a person leaves you, God is always faithful. That's not
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But when we said the disappointment, when
Speaker 1: we said the deficit, that's just the way you frame it. Yes,
Speaker 1: the place of the deficit will be the place of deposit.
Speaker 1: That's why we carry the unlovened bread. That's why we
Speaker 1: still eat it, just to remember, Oh God, well I
Speaker 1: didn't have I didn't have yeast in the bread. Then
Speaker 1: I don't have money in the bank. Now I don't
Speaker 1: have this wis here, I don't have this experience here.
Speaker 1: That's why you carry around that bread, and that's why
Speaker 1: you eat it to remind yourself that God's presence is
Speaker 1: often most evident in what he left out. We love
Speaker 1: to celebrate what he gives us. If he gave you
Speaker 1: a new house, praise him. I've received God's blessings in
Speaker 1: my home and my cars and all of those things.
Speaker 1: But sometimes what he left out makes it special. And
Speaker 1: sometimes you got to leave with what you have. I
Speaker 1: don't mean to leave your church, leave your marriage, leave
Speaker 1: your home. You'll quit misinterpret in my scripture before I
Speaker 1: can even post it on Facebook. I'm saying that in you,
Speaker 1: that's the grace space. What is that space for you?
Speaker 1: I'm not good at that. I didn't learn that. I
Speaker 1: didn't have a dad to teach me that that's the
Speaker 1: grace space. Beautiful what God leaves out. I think of
Speaker 1: it musically, you know, I'm a songwriter. And it took
Speaker 1: me a long time to say that, but because I
Speaker 1: didn't think I was good at everything. But God surrounds you,
Speaker 1: like like LJ came from Toronto. I needed someone who
Speaker 1: came and knew all of the hymns, and God sent
Speaker 1: us l J. Praise God for him. He's amazing. You're amazing.
Speaker 1: And all the people who used to sit on a
Speaker 1: piano playing when I was preaching, you know, they were
Speaker 1: great too. But then God sent an LJ, and he's awesome.
Speaker 1: Play me real quick. I know this is way beyond
Speaker 1: your capabilities. I don't know all the right terms, but
Speaker 1: just play like a major scale. What key is that
Speaker 1: the what are the actual notes? D Let's just do
Speaker 1: the numbers one, two, three, four, five six. I can
Speaker 1: play the notes, so don't always know what to call one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four five? When did you played again? That's the major skill?
Speaker 1: Play again one two three four No, no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: do it again. First one. That's the first one. That's
Speaker 1: a major scale. K D. Leave out play one the
Speaker 1: one in the four right, Uh play the other ones.
Speaker 1: Mum hmmm, do it again, five, six, and uh again
Speaker 1: drop the five. Uh that's the six. Do the six,
Speaker 1: one four six six. Oh that sounds like something. Uh
Speaker 1: uh again, just the one, four and six done. Uh uh,
Speaker 1: may see grace one four, sax six. Nuh then grace,
Speaker 1: do all the notes again. That's a scale. Leave out
Speaker 1: the other ones to do the one force. That's a song.
Speaker 1: What turned the scale into a song wasn't what we
Speaker 1: put in. That's what we left out. God said, I
Speaker 1: brought you out of Egypt, out of shame, out of sin.
Speaker 1: Leave it there, leave the rabble there, leave the regret there,
Speaker 1: leave it out, leave it out for Christ, our passover
Speaker 1: lamb has been sacrificed. So now, first Corinthians five seven says,
Speaker 1: let us eat the unleavened bread and get rid of
Speaker 1: the old yeast, so that you may be a new
Speaker 1: unleavened badge. Here's the anointed part. As you really are.
Speaker 1: All that other stuff, somebody make this confession, that's Egypt,
Speaker 1: that's not me. All that take slop that's on you
Speaker 1: when you come round, leave that out. Take that off,
Speaker 1: and leave that out for this next season of your life.
Speaker 1: All you need is the robe from your father's closet,
Speaker 1: the ring on your finger, and somebody. Get ready for
Speaker 1: some unloving bread, because I am about to feast this
Speaker 1: year on the faithfulness of God. How many of you
Speaker 1: have that flat bread faith, that one stone faith that
Speaker 1: I know who I am and I'm chosen faith. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that little boy with five loaves and two fish. If
Speaker 1: you've got flat bread faith, if you've got a praise
Speaker 1: that is not dependent on a circumstance, give it to
Speaker 1: him right now. Come on. It's a grace space. That's
Speaker 1: where grace goes. That's where the annoyance goes. That's where
Speaker 1: the wisdom of the spirit goes. Right there, right there
Speaker 1: in your ignorance, that's the space for grace. Right there
Speaker 1: in your uncertainty, that's the space for grace, right there
Speaker 1: in your addiction, that's the space for grace, right there
Speaker 1: in your heartbreak. They left you because they were not
Speaker 1: of you. And God is bringing something better in the
Speaker 1: grace space, the grace space that you are always with me,
Speaker 1: and all that you have is mind. So whatever you
Speaker 1: didn't put in me, you want to fill it yourself.
Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go, let's go. And no, I don't
Speaker 1: have enough yeast. Yeah, but I don't even want Egypt's yeast.
Speaker 1: I'm moving forward toward Canaan's grapes. I told you last
Speaker 1: week there is always a funeral before the feast. And
Speaker 1: what God is removing from you right now, it was
Speaker 1: just taking up too much space. I'm not driving a
Speaker 1: mac truck of a Bible verse over your pain. I'll
Speaker 1: never I would never do that. Yes we cry, yes
Speaker 1: we heard, Yes we struggle. I'm doing some of that
Speaker 1: right now in my life. I call that grieving Egypt.
Speaker 1: That's all right. But so now I'm gonna let the
Speaker 1: grief of Egypt cost me the grapes of Canaan. Nah.
Speaker 1: Uh uh uh huh. There are hired men in my
Speaker 1: father's house with food to spair, and here I am
Speaker 1: starving to death. Get it out, get it out, get
Speaker 1: the resentment out. This year. Yeah, they treated you bad,
Speaker 1: they treated you like crad. What you're gonna do beat
Speaker 1: them up in the mental gymnasium of your own misery,
Speaker 1: and eventually they're gonna get a transported signal that you're mad.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna now you're gonna get an ulcer, an ulcer,
Speaker 1: an ulcer, and a doctor bill. So all the rabble,
Speaker 1: all the things we mentioned, all the things. When God
Speaker 1: is bringing something that we love that we want, we
Speaker 1: lose something in the in the process. Wow, but all
Speaker 1: that he has is yours. All that he has is yours.
Speaker 1: So you lack nothing you like? Not that I know.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to all my d's that I said.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember the last one I said. But
Speaker 1: lift your hands right now, everyone's standing. I think we
Speaker 1: need to receive this message actively. Yeast is an active ingredient,
Speaker 1: So activate your faith for a moment. I'm serious this man.
Speaker 1: Your imagination is so crowded and cluttered it's ridiculous. God
Speaker 1: gave you a big life, a big vision, but some
Speaker 1: stuff's gotta go now. And I don't know what what
Speaker 1: flesh this will wear for you what I'm about to say,
Speaker 1: But why every time that God makes space in your
Speaker 1: life to do what you asked him to do, why
Speaker 1: do you fill it right back with something he didn't
Speaker 1: give you before he can send it. Why do you
Speaker 1: keep cramming your day like that? What are you doing
Speaker 1: starving to death? Your father has plenty of food, Just
Speaker 1: make room. Why are you already leaving the service in
Speaker 1: your mind? Why are you already back, You're already closing YouTube,
Speaker 1: You're already Why why not let this be a great space?
Speaker 1: Why are you standing looking into heaven? Jesus asked the disciples.
Speaker 1: The Angel said the same, Jesus, He's coming back. You
Speaker 1: focused on the wrong thing. Why do you want to
Speaker 1: go back to Pharaoh's fish when you can have canaan scraps.
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, listen, this is where we are.
Speaker 1: We're in between, right. We don't have it yet. He
Speaker 1: promised it, but we're not really experiencing it yet. That's
Speaker 1: all right. That's why I gave you the flatbread. Flatbread
Speaker 1: travels better. You can eat it and remember that the
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven is inside of you. Lift those hands again,
Speaker 1: but not like you're giving God something. Read it. Lift
Speaker 1: it like you're reading it from his perspective, where Heaven said,
Speaker 1: all that I have is yours. I want you to
Speaker 1: keep your hands lifted. We rush so bad, and our
Speaker 1: rush robs us of our revelation. God's trying to show
Speaker 1: you something. Right now, lift your hands. I want one
Speaker 1: of my singers just to begin to minister to you.
Speaker 1: Right now, whatever is in your heart, make a throne,
Speaker 1: Make a throne, Make a space, make a space, make
Speaker 1: a praise, make a praise. Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord.
Speaker 1: Right here right, that's it. You can have it. An
Speaker 1: that's the voice of the Father over you. You ride.
Speaker 1: He didn't leave you. He's here in the valley, in
Speaker 1: the mountain you you can have it in the winter,
Speaker 1: in the spring, you can shime you see ever press
Speaker 1: that god. You ride, right, He says, you can have
Speaker 1: my joy. You can if you make room for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah here I am. Yeah, he didn't leave you. I
Speaker 1: promise you. He's running towards you. You can have his piece.
Speaker 1: You can have this jorn, you can have his healing.
Speaker 1: You can have freedom. Why would you go back to fish?
Speaker 1: You can have freedom. Come on, you gotta believe this.
Speaker 1: This is how he feels about you. This is what
Speaker 1: he says. To make room for it. Get the shame out,
Speaker 1: get the yeas stock, give the leaven out, get the unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Use your horse, say the Father says, receiving. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: For zep. You can have it. Get the ring. Get
Speaker 1: the ring. You're the thing. That's a lot, Sonny, that's
Speaker 1: my sorrow. Honey, say we the whos she really is.
Speaker 1: That's my son. You can happen, you can wear it,
Speaker 1: you can walk, and you can receive them in the
Speaker 1: light name of Jesus. Received this lesson, received this life.
Speaker 1: It's yours. It's yours. Go. I know I already preached
Speaker 1: a lot of scriptures, and I promise you I'm not
Speaker 1: going to pile more on you. But one thought that
Speaker 1: I had was when Paul said, one time, make room
Speaker 1: in your hearts for us. He said that to the
Speaker 1: church that he didn't get to personally be with, but
Speaker 1: he wanted to share in God's Word with them, And
Speaker 1: I feel that way about you. If we've never personally met,
Speaker 1: it's still such a privilege to partner with you in
Speaker 1: the gospel and to hopefully provide you with words that
Speaker 1: come from God so that you can do what He's
Speaker 1: called you to do and be all that He's called
Speaker 1: you to be. Just want to let you know we
Speaker 1: love you and thank you for sharing, thanks for giving.
Speaker 1: Your faithfulness is amazing. I feel so grateful to be
Speaker 1: the pastor of this movement. I'm excited about what God
Speaker 1: is speaking to us as the year has already started
Speaker 1: so strong, as we're making room to receive. Have you
Speaker 1: done that in your life? How can you do that
Speaker 1: this week? How can you apply what you just heard
Speaker 1: in the message in a way that will give God
Speaker 1: the opportunity to lavish you with this grace. I pray
Speaker 1: that for you, Holly, and I love you. We'll see
Speaker 1: you next time.
