1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: for you to break it down a little more, to

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: take it a little deeper. I hope you enjoy this

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: overflow message.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Let me know. Let's go.

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: I promised you that I would do a bonus teaching

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: from the basin.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Here I am. Here's my Bible digitally.

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: I got a big I got a big taper Bible too,

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: So don't worry.

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: Put this in the.

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: Chat right now. I'm not trapped. I'm in training. Put

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: it in the comments. Take a moment, write it down.

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm not trapped. I'm in training. That was one line

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: that I said in my sermon Sunday, one line. And

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: I promise you that it is taking me a lifetime,

18
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: a lifetime to learn that perspective. This is not something

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: that I naturally am inclined to think. And I'll tell

20
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: you why. I think I am hardwired for pessimism. I

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: am not blaming anyone. I am not blaming my mom,

22
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: my dad, their parents, or my babysitter when I was seven.

23
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm not blaming my fifth grade teacher. I'm not blaming putin.

24
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: I'm not blaming the president. I'm not blaming the senator.

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: I'm not blaming anybody but me that over time, I

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: have developed a tendency to tell myself that I'm trapped.

27
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: I do it in big ways, I do it in

28
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: small ways. I give you a small example, then I

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: give you a big example. Then I give you a scripture,

30
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: and then we'll unpack it together in this bonus teaching

31
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: from the basin.

32
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: The sermon was called Delayed Praise.

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: Go watch it right now on elevision church YouTube if

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: you haven't yet, and then come back to this, because

35
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: this comes from that. This comes from that, This comes

36
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: from that. Put that into comments too. This comes from that.

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: And if you saw the sermon already, you'll know that

38
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: kind of has a double meaning. All right, small example,

39
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: Oh man, when I have a task that I need

40
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: to do but kind of don't want to do, I

41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: will invent obstacles to getting that done. I will invent

42
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: obstacles to getting that done. I will invent a reason that.

43
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: And I want to use a very current example of this.

44
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: I can't study for my sermon right now because I

45
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: only have fifteen minutes. Well I have fifteen minutes, yeah,

46
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: but I only have fifteen minutes.

47
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: So what I did.

48
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: I invented a time obstacle or a time limit where

49
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: I told myself, unless I have a full hour and

50
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: a half, I can't study for my sermon. When the

51
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: truth is, I know my entire sermon library shout out logos,

52
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Bible software, my entire sermon research library.

53
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: Is on my phone. I don't even have to be

54
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: by my library.

55
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: So the idea that I need all this time and

56
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: a library is a lie because I have my library,

57
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: and there have been many times where I've told myself

58
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: I can't work on my sermon right now, I don't

59
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: have enough time. I invent limited time as a trap.

60
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: When the truth is, let's get to the truth, and

61
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: if you want to kind of write down some keywords here,

62
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: we've got trap truth training.

63
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Okay. The trap that I tell myself is I don't

64
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: have enough time.

65
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: The truth is I have my entire library, and the

66
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: compressed time fifteen minutes might actually make me go in

67
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: harder and deeper, and it might actually hit me in

68
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: a different way if I do it in the environment

69
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: that I'm in.

70
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Let's say I'm at.

71
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: Abby softball or Graham's wrestling or I'm with Elijah, and

72
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: I have an idea that I want to look into

73
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: real quick. Doing it in that format that time constraint

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: might actually release a different wave of thought than it

75
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: would if I sat down and locked myself in the

76
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 2: room for three hours.

77
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: Now there's time to sit down and do the extended study,

78
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: and I do that as well.

79
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: But see, I just invented a reason to feel resistance.

80
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: I told myself I was trapped, and the truth is

81
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: I could do a little bit now, a little bit later.

82
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: Another way that I do it, I tell myself the

83
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: story that somebody else doesn't want to do something, when

84
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: the truth of it is I just really don't want

85
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: to reach out to them because I fear rejection. So

86
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: basically I use this thing called prejection. Have you ever

87
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: heard of this? Where I say to myself, they wouldn't

88
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: want to do that, They're not the kind of person

89
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: who would actually, and I will invent their response before

90
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: I even make the request. And when I push through

91
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: that many times, i'd say over half the time, when

92
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: I ask them for help or when I ask them

93
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: for collaboration, it surprises me how glad they are to

94
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: do it. Maybe not exactly when or what I want,

95
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: but they can do something and sometimes it's even better.

96
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: There have been many times where I've put something on

97
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: a list and then moved it to another list, and

98
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: moved it to a another list, and moved it to

99
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: another list. Oh, I'm going to get around to this,

100
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to do that, I'm going to do the other.

101
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: And I keep bouncing it from list to list. And

102
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: I am a list maker. Y'all would be shocked to

103
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: see how many list Maybe.

104
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be shocked. Maybe you're the same way.

105
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: How many lists I make and I love list and

106
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: they're amazing when I am moving through the list and

107
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: bringing the list into my real life. But see, if

108
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: all I do is invent things on a list that

109
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: I'm going to get around to when a certain person

110
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: gets back to me or when I have more information,

111
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm really lying to myself.

112
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm trapped in the concept.

113
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 2: Of what I want to do rather than doing something

114
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: concrete to move forward. I wrote down a little phrase

115
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: for myself yesterday. Really cool phrase. It said, First, I'll

116
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: put it as a question, am I working toward what

117
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm wishing for?

118
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: In that power powerful? Put that in the comments?

119
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: Am I working toward what I'm wishing for, because I

120
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: think we all get an idea of like, oh man,

121
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: I would love to have more family dinners. Oh I

122
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: would love to take more time to actually develop myself spiritually.

123
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: Oh I would actually love to read through the Bible

124
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: one day when you know it's it's a wish list.

125
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: But I found out that we don't get results from

126
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: our wish list. We get results from our workflow wish list.

127
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: It's good to.

128
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: Dream now and to Him is able to do a

129
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: measureably more than we ask or imagine, according this power

130
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: that works mightily in us. I mean, there are desires

131
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: God puts in your heart. Some thirty seven four says

132
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: that He will give you the desires of your heart.

133
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: We read a scripture this week or so powerful. When

134
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: we read it, we could almost barely believe it because

135
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: it came at the end of a sermon where we

136
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: had been talking the whole sermon.

137
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: About That's why I trust Him.

138
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: From our new song trust in God that just released,

139
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: and how when we're making lists in our mind of

140
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: things that God has done for us, starting with what

141
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: He did for us on Calvary when he gave his son,

142
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: how he redeemed us and delivered us from sin, How

143
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: he delivered us from our fear, how he took away

144
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: our shame.

145
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that is the greatest.

146
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: Thing that he's done forgiven us, made us a new creation,

147
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: given us his Holy spirit. That's why I trust him

148
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: with these bills. That's why I trust him with this

149
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: situation with my family member. That's why I trust him

150
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: with this business deal. That's why I trust him in

151
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: this real estate transaction. That's why I trust him to

152
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: apologize and leave justice in his hands for the part

153
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: that I think the other person did wrong. Because of

154
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: all of the things that he did for me that

155
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: money can't buy and that the world can't take away.

156
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: That's why I trust him.

157
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: And I did a whole segment of discermon about that's

158
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: why and how we're all going through a this in

159
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: our life, a struggle, a delay, a setback. For many,

160
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: its depression for many, its anxiety. But for many it

161
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: is not that easily labeled or diagnosed. It's just a

162
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: situation that I can't figure out. We all have a

163
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: this that we're having to trust God in this. Well,

164
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: look what the scripture said in one John five, He

165
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: said this verse fourteen.

166
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe how beautiful the scripture is.

167
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: This is the confidence we have in approaching God that

168
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

169
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: Now we can't just make up our and okay, God,

170
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: I want four supermodel wives.

171
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: I want to I want to have.

172
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: Big biceps and a type korps and no workout regimen,

173
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: any five thousand calories a day, you know, come on, Like,

174
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: we got to get within the will of God and

175
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: the purpose of God and then ask him and have

176
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: confidence in this that if we ask anything cording to

177
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: as well, he hears us. I sought the Lord, and

178
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 2: he heard, and he answered, if you watch the sermon,

179
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: you already saw how That's why I trust him, because

180
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: I have confidence that he hears me.

181
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Like Jesus standing at the grave of.

182
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: Lazarus, who was dead inside, and Jesus prayed and he said, Father,

183
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 2: I thank you.

184
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: That you hear me. I know you always hear me.

185
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: I just said that for the benefit of those listenings,

186
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: so that they can see the relate relationship that we

187
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: have and give the glory to you when you do

188
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 2: what you're.

189
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: About to do.

190
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 2: So when I ask God, I have to come into

191
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: the confidence that he hears me.

192
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: But it gets better verse fifteen.

193
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: And if we know, if we know that somebody put

194
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: in the comments, I know that.

195
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: I know that he hears me.

196
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: God's not death, his arm isn't short, his hand isn't

197
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: slack that he can't save. He can deliver me from

198
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: my fears ps Psalm thirty four, verse three. And if

199
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: we know that he hears us, there's the word that again,

200
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: whatever we ask in accordance with His will, we know

201
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: that we have what we asked of him. So am

202
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: I working toward what I'm wishing for? And am I

203
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: asking God with the confidence that he hears me? Do

204
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: I know that? Or have I allowed the enemy to

205
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: make me believe? Watch this, I'm gonna go real deep,

206
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: real quick. So you gotta get ready to suddenly believe

207
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: that my prayers are powerless, To suddenly believe that the

208
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: way it is is the way it's always going to be.

209
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: To suddenly believe that it doesn't matter what I do,

210
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: things are how they are.

211
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: It is what it is.

212
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: Well, it is what it is, but that's not the

213
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: end of it. That's not the end of it. So

214
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: acceptance comes first. This situation is what it is. Sick

215
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: in my body, hurting, betrayed, feeling weak.

216
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: That's fine.

217
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: I ask God to show me direction for the next

218
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: best thing that He's called me to do. And then

219
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: I believe by faith that whatever he tells me to

220
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: do will be a step toward what I'm asking him for.

221
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: And I take it. Take the step, Take the step

222
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: in confidence. And as you move forward in this season,

223
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: this struggle, as you move through this stronghold, as you

224
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: take this step of obedience to God, whatever that may

225
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: be for you, whatever that may be.

226
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: For you, you.

227
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: Have And this is what my brother in law was

228
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: texting me about yesterday. From the message, you have so

229
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: many that's to look back on that were formerly a

230
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: this in your life. Oh, I'm never going to get

231
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: through this, and you did. I don't know what to

232
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: do about this, but God gave you away through it. Oh,

233
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 2: if this happens, I can't handle it. I won't be

234
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: able to make it. And this happened. I'm clean up

235
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: the statement a little bit. They say this happens, they

236
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: say something else. I'm saying, this happens. And then God

237
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: steps in and delivers you, and he keeps you and

238
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: you say, oh, he got me through that. Now as

239
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: you go through this, whatever it currently is, today.

240
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: You say, this is the day the Lord has made.

241
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: I will rejoice and be glad in it. Why because

242
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: I know that He is with me.

243
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: I want you to put like at least one I

244
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: know that in the chat right now, in the comments

245
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: right now, do it say I know that God loves me.

246
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: I know that God is good. I know that He's

247
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: in control. I know that I'm forgiven. I know that

248
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm his child. I know that all things work together

249
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: for my good. I know that he knows the plans

250
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: he has for me. And now I'm not only asking

251
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: for what I'm believing him for. And I use the

252
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,359
Speaker 2: word wish because it gets a little bit more specific.

253
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: Am I working toward what I'm wishing for according to

254
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: His will? And I believe God wants to get us

255
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: to the place watch this. This is strong, but I

256
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: believe it where what we wish and what He wills

257
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: become one and the same as we move forward. Now

258
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: that's a process. I know it is. I know it is.

259
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: And when I said earlier, this comes from that. And

260
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm talking about how my teaching today comes from a sermon.

261
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: Your life is like that.

262
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: You know, when David was running from Saul, I talked

263
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: about seven years he ran from Saul. I talked about

264
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: how he had to have this space between when God

265
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: showed him what he was going to be a king,

266
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: and he showed him that when he was a little kid,

267
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: only seventeen years old. But there was a space where

268
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: he was running from Saul and he had to go

269
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: hide in the caves with six hundred vagabond men, I mean, oh,

270
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: distressed and broke and discouraged and worn out and in debt.

271
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: And that's who David had around him.

272
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: A lot of them were his family members, and he

273
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time in what we would call disappointment.

274
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: But here's one thing I didn't really get to say

275
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: on my message. At the time, it felt like disappointment,

276
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: but now I see it was development.

277
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: Again.

278
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: At the time, it felt like disappointment, but now I

279
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: see it as development. When David first Samuel twenty seven,

280
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: was high in the territory of the Philistines, he made

281
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: this statement, one of these days I will be destroyed

282
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can

283
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: do is escape to the land of the Philistines. Oh,

284
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: that must have been so disappointing for David. He wanted

285
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 2: to help Saul. He wanted to fight for his people.

286
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: He wanted to settle in. He wanted to use his gift.

287
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: He's in his twenties and developing, and yet.

288
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: He's so disappointed.

289
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: But the disappointment is development. He has to go hide

290
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: amongst the enemy. But God was doing something in him

291
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: while he was hiding amongst his enemy.

292
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: Write this down, put it in the comments.

293
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: God is using my enemy to do something in me.

294
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: God is using my enemy to do something in me.

295
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: By enemy here, I don't mean Philistines. I don't even

296
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: mean other people necessarily, although it can be. But even

297
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 2: they're not the enemy. We wrestle not against flesh and blood.

298
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: God is using circumstances that are uncomfortable for you. God

299
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 2: is using situations that feel unstable for you to stabilize

300
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: you so that you can say, Greater is he that

301
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: is in me than my enemy?

302
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: Say it out loud. Greater is he that is in

303
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: me than my enemy. Greater is he that is in

304
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: me than my insecurity.

305
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: Greater is he that is in me than any incompetency.

306
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: God is developing me. God is disciplining me.

307
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 2: Not in a punishment oriented way, no, but for purpose,

308
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: for progress.

309
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: That's what it's been about.

310
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: I spent sixteen months amongst the Philistines, sixteen months amongst

311
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 2: his enemies.

312
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: But what was David learning while he was there?

313
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: He was learning how Philistines fight, because these were.

314
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: The enemies he would defeat. I feel gone on that

315
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: God is using this season to get you ready.

316
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: Like they used to say in the Baptist Church, God

317
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: is preparing me for what He has prepared for me.

318
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: That's it. I'm not trapped. I'm in training.

319
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: God gives you resistance, training to teach you the revelation

320
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: of who he is so you will seek him. I

321
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: sought the Lord, and he heard and he answered. But

322
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: what David doesn't say anything about is the space between that.

323
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: Is training, that's you. Right now, you're feeling trapped. I

324
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: know you are.

325
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: You're feeling like, this isn't the life I wanted. This

326
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: isn't where I wanted to be at this stage. I

327
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: wanted to be farther along. I wanted to have more money,

328
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: I wanted to have more whatever education. I wanted to

329
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 2: have more data on this. I wanted to have more people.

330
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: That's okay, and maybe you could have if you had

331
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: done it a little differently. We all make mistakes. The

332
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: point of this message is right now that the grace

333
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 2: of God can fill that space. The grace of God

334
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: can fill that space between where you thought you'd be

335
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: and who you want to be, and where you are

336
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: and who you are. Let the grace of God in.

337
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: Let him train you in his grace. Be strong in

338
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: the grace, Paul told Timothy somebody looked that scripture up

339
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: and put it in the comments for us, because I

340
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: don't know exactly where it is, but God is saying today,

341
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: be strong in the grace. I want to hear from

342
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: you right now on these comments. I want to hear

343
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: from you right now, not only what is a that

344
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: in your life that you know God is going to

345
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: bring you through, not because you can see it with

346
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: your senses, but because you've tasted and seen.

347
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: That the Lord is good.

348
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: I want to know what in your life right now

349
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: is the next best thing that God is calling you

350
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: to do. And I want it to be so specific. Okay,

351
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: I want to know what's on your list that you

352
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: need to move into your real life. What's on your

353
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: list of that that you've already seen God? Do I

354
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: use that as a what do you call it an

355
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: acronym and acrostic? I don't remember the technical term. Things

356
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: he already taught me, Things he already told you, things

357
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: he already brought you through.

358
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: Thhat what's the that that you need to hold to

359
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: as you go through this? Is it a verse? Is

360
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: it an affirmation? Is it a faith confession?

361
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: And then what's the next thing that He's called you

362
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: to do to move into the role that He's revealed

363
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 2: to you about who you are, who you're to be,

364
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: how you're to respond, not just react, because if you

365
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: live your life in reaction mode in the season of

366
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: your life, you are going to prolong the season of pain.

367
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: You are going to prolong the season of paralysis. No,

368
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: You've got to just move toward what you believe God's

369
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: will is. And for David that looked very messy for

370
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: sixteen months and for seven years, it looked like that

371
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: he was moving.

372
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: Away from what God gave him.

373
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: And we all feel that way, like, Oh, I feel

374
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: like it's two steps forward, four steps back. But I

375
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: used a powerful illustration at the end of my sermon Sunday,

376
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: and you can go and watch it right now if

377
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: you didn't see it, how even the song trust in

378
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: God that we wrote, even that song was made so

379
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: much better by a delay, a slight delay in the

380
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: writing room. And you can see that illustrated in real time,

381
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: that sometimes God pushes back the that that you're waiting

382
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: for the next that.

383
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: So you will learn to trust Him in this because

384
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: you're in training.

385
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: The final thought, I want you to write down now,

386
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 2: and I'm going to look and see if you'll put

387
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: this stuff in the comments.

388
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: If you put it into comments, I'm gonna.

389
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 2: Do another one of these because it'll let me know

390
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: that you're listening and it's working and it's worth it.

391
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make these videos either way. I make a

392
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: teaching video each day, but I'll put more on them,

393
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 2: more of them on here if I know it's helping you,

394
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: because that's what I want to do.

395
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: But I want you to put this is training.

396
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: This is training, and I want you to see an

397
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: offense in your life as this is training. I want

398
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: you to see a delay in your life as Oh

399
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: God is pushing back. That's the resistance training. Ooh, it's

400
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: resistance training. You know what I mean by that. When

401
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: you use weights or bad something, that's resistance training. God

402
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 2: trains us through allowing us to experience resistance, and we go, oh, well,

403
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 2: it wasn't easy. It must not be God, are you crazy?

404
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: Jesus went to a cross and endured it, despising it

405
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: shame for the joy set before him.

406
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: I want you to stop telling yourself. I'm trapped.

407
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: Many of you are trapped in the story that you're

408
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: telling yourself. You are telling yourself what David was telling himself.

409
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: He thought to himself, go look it up first Samuel

410
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven.

411
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: But David thought to himself, one of these days I

412
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best

413
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: thing I can do is escape to the land of

414
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me

415
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 2: anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.

416
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: He felt trapped. He felt like he was in Saul's hand.

417
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: No, David, You're in God's hand, and Saul's hand is

418
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 2: not greater than God's hand. God is training you. Even

419
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: the resistance of Saul was a tool in the hand

420
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 2: of God. To train David, even the time spent in

421
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: enemy territory. Where does God have you.

422
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: Right now that you don't want to be?

423
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: I hate this job, I hate this school, I hate

424
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: this relationship, I hate this feeling.

425
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: That's okay to hate it.

426
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: You don't have to like it, but receive it as

427
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: training and do the next best thing.

428
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: Be you.

429
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 2: God called you to be there. You think I haven't

430
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: had jobs I didn't like. You think I didn't serve

431
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: under leaders that I found difficult to follow. Well, I've

432
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: been a leader that's difficult to follow. God was training

433
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: me in that season, so I could see what that

434
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: was like. And see, I believe God knows that. Whatever

435
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: you don't know. I don't know how he's going to

436
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: do that, he does.

437
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: Well. I don't know where I'm going to be six

438
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: months from now. He does. So can you trust him

439
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: with this because you know that he knows. I don't know,

440
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: but I know that he knows.

441
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 2: I think that's enough for now. You let me know

442
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: in the comments what you got out of this. I'll

443
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: be reading these comments. I'll remind you.

444
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: One more time. You're not trapped, You're in training. You're

445
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: getting stronger.

446
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: That's what the resistance is for and through the resistance,

447
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: God's going to give you a revelation of his hand,

448
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: his power, his strength, his will. And if you ask

449
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: it according to his will, he hears it. He hears you,

450
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: he hears your heart. Not only does he hear you,

451
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: but one John five fifteen says, and we know that

452
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: we have it.

453
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: I have peace, joy, love, I have it. I have it.

454
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: Say it out loud, I have it. What God wants

455
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: me to have, I have it. I have it. It's

456
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: mine glory to God. It comes from Him.

457
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: Humble myself to know that if I ask it from

458
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: the Father, and if it's in his will, I have it.

459
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: And if I don't have it yet, I know that

460
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: when the time is right, he left me up. And

461
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: until God lifts you, trust him in Jesus's name.

462
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: I see you, Zue, Love you guys. Hey.
