WEBVTT - Living In The Overflow (The Basin)

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin. This

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:08.639
<v Speaker 1>is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just for

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you to break it down a little more, to take

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it a little deeper.

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope you enjoy this overflow message. Let me know,

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 2>let's go.

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing things this is important in my life

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that support the flow of the Holy Spirit. Because when

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing those things in my life, whether that's

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>my relationships, or whether that's serving, or whether that's kind

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>of like dealing with the weeds in the garden of

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.919
<v Speaker 1>the things that I say and do that don't match up,

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>which happen every day, when I'm not putting God's word

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in my heart in a systematic way, from a place

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>of love, from a place of challenging myself, from a

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>place of asking God to speak to me, reading it

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>through his perspective, not just reading it to see what

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I already think it means. If I'm not doing those things,

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to come from abundance, because again I'm

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>coming from my own personal point of view, and I'm

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>going to read into every text that I read, or

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>every situation that happens, every experience I have, I'm going

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to read into those things my own experience, prejudice, belief, insecurity,

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>rather than drawing from those things what God wants me

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to receive so I can give it.

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's just an.

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Example of how it happens in preaching to come from

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a place of abundance that I've been reading, studying, listening,

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>exposing myself to things that don't take away from the

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>revelation that God has given me by just interfering with

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>noise or kind of perverting things. If I'm putting things

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in myself and not just Bible versus man, but thoughts,

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>dwelling on things, discussing, things opening up, you know, if

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>those things are flowing in my life, I'm becoming from abundance.

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I hear the sound of the abundance of rain, Elijah said,

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Now that's not necessarily what the situation looked like, but

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that's where he was coming from.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>He was coming from the sound that he heard.

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Now, I think that faith comes by hearing, hearing by

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the word. I think we can say that the words

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that we put in our hearts, that we allow to dominate,

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the words that we put in our hearts, the words

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that we allow to give wind, the words in the

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>form of our thoughts, the words in the form of

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>our meditation, the words in the form of what we

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>say to ourselves, what we say about ourselves.

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 2>What we think about others.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.519
<v Speaker 1>All of those words they work in the background of

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>our life so that they're either drawing away, creating a leak,

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, your internal language, they're creating a leak. And

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>everything that God puts in you, you're going to just

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like never enough. Man, I'm never enough. I was

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>in bed eight hours, but I only slept three. I

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>still didn't get enough sleep. That's not necessarily because you're

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>doing something wrong, but I am saying that a lot

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>of times. If I don't pay attention to what goes

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>in during the day, then when I lay down at

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>night when the day is over, I'm not going to

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>have any kind of peace. I'm not going to have

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>any kind of real rest, and I'm going to wake

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>up again in the cycle of not enough coming from abundance.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>What does that look like. It looks like believing when

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I wake up every morning that I have enough time

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>today for what God has called me to do today. Now,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Jesus said, do not worry about tomorrow. So that's a misappropriation.

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>If I start going, yeah, but tomorrow, well plan for it,

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>think about it, give structure to it, build around it.

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I do not believe it's wise for you to not

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>have a retirement account and you're fifty three years old.

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I do not believe it's wise for you to have

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>all this empty space in your day, or your week,

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.159
<v Speaker 1>or your year, we have nothing looked forward to. I

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>think that's a recipe for depression. I believe that's a

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:26.119
<v Speaker 1>recipe for a rut where you just automatically.

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Do things and kind of like, what do you want

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 2>to do? What do you want to do? No, I'm

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 2>not talking about that.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying is God gave me the space and

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>grace that I need for today, and that that belief

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that will bring me to a place of abundance because

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going into the day going there's no way

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get it all done. Okay, now, I'm

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>not going to get it all done today. I'm not

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>going to get it all done tomorrow either. I'm not

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>going to get it all done next week. But by

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>sitting with God, sitting with my list, sitting with the

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>people that are important in my life, figuring out what's

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>important to us really paying attention. Okay, last week I

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>got off track with this. It wasn't fruitful. Now this

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>week I'm going to prune all that stuff that wasn't

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>fruitful so I can bear the right fruit. These are

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the things that matter. This is what's important in this season.

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>This is what I can't do anything about. Oh, this

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>is the drama that I'm getting drawn into. You come

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 1>from abundance. When you get clear in your heart with

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>God in his presence about the priorities that He has

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>for you, seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>all these.

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Things will be added to you as well.

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>So the things that deplete you, the things that pull

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>from you, the things that suck the blood out of

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>your your very being, suck the happiness, suck the energy

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>out of your life. All of those things that that

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>make you feel like I can't do it, they're not

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>all bad. Sometimes you just haven't made the decisions in

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>your daily life and your weekly life.

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>In the structure of your month and the structure of

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>your year.

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>You haven't made the decision yet to prioritize God's presence

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and to prioritize the purpose that He put you here for.

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>So you can't come from abundance because let me say

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.799
<v Speaker 1>it one way that I said it in a sermon

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>one time, It's not an issue of there not being

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 1>enough resource. It's an issue of their not being.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Clear enough priorities.

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes we don't have enough resources, but sometimes we don't

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>have enough priorities. Putting God first means the things that

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>he wants done. How do I know what he wants done?

0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>If I spend time in his word, I spend time

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>paying attention, if I spend time asking the Holy Spirit

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>inside of me, let me see through your eyes, I'm

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>going to know more times than not. And if I

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to my last mistake, I go ooh, correction, boom.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to get better at that as time

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>goes on. And when I fail at it, I'm going

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to pick myself up and go, Okay, all right, maybe

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I hit that a little different last time.

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 2>And you get this.

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>You get this feeling from God when you're off track,

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>don't you. It's like it's not getting you anywhere. Change

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:42.559
<v Speaker 1>change approach, you know, like change course. And I believe

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>that priorities are a huge part of coming.

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>From abundance.

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe that presence is a huge part of coming

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>from abundance, not only your presence in the moment, but

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>God's presence with you. I don't know if you understand

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>what it means to have Christ in you. I don't

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>know if you understand what that means, because I know

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I'm trying to find out what that means.

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>The problem is, I got so much on me, sometimes

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>pressure on me.

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>That it keeps me.

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>From fully accessing, acknowledging and acting in the power that

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I have in me, the presence of God in me,

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Christ in you. I think a lot of us are

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>messed up by the language we learn, maybe as children

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 1>or maybe later in life. But we say, ask Jesus

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in your heart. I think we have really gotten arrested

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>development when it comes to what that means, because it's like, oh,

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>ask Jesus to come into your heart.

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 2>He'll save you.

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>That's the way you explain it to a kid, because

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.839
<v Speaker 1>they can't understand salvation. I don't think that is an

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>elementary thing to ask God for. I just think we

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>have an elementary understanding from when he asked Jesus into

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>your heart.

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 2>When you say Christ be in me, you are in me.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit in me

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>who that's powerful. Okay, that's not some playful little phrase

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.599
<v Speaker 1>that we teach a preschooler.

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>That's powerful.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 1>So I want you to go from a preschool understanding

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>of asking Jesus in your heart or having Jesus in your.

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Heart to a powerful understanding of that.

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Coming from abundance means I am not this needy person

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.199
<v Speaker 1>who needs to go around begging people for crumbson scraps

0:09:55.200 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>all day. I am someone who has great need, but

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I have a greater God who lives and flows through me.

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Why did Paul say it that way? Why didn't Paul

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 1>just say you know, Christ can do all things through you?

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Because he wanted us to understand it. Will take our decision,

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>our initiative, and watch this. This is the last one

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you for today. Proactive So priority presence,

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>which also goes along with power. How do I come

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>from abundance priority? I decide what doesn't get my attention,

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>presence understanding God is with me in this moment, and

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>then I got to be proactive. That means I have

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to call on Christ. Like Samson called remember last week

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>in the Hollow Place when Samson was like he cried

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 1>to the Lord God, are you.

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Gonna give me the victory?

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>But you're gonna let me out of here with chapped

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>lips and parched throat, die in this desert. And God's like,

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I just waiting on you to ask me. Boom, water

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>came from the Hollow Place. That's how the Holy Spirit works.

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Ask for the Holy Spirit, Ask your Father for more flows.

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Ask and he will give you your joy and make it complete.

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>You have asked nothing in his name up until now.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 1>He's waiting on you to ask and act in what

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you've asked. What good is it to ask God for

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>something and not act in your belief.
