There are certain books you 20 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: won't read until you've experienced a brokenness that makes you 21 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: need to read them. 22 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 23 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: I had books on my shelf that when I was 24 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: going through a certain challenge in my life, I had 25 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: to dig around for them because when I got the books, 26 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: they were nice. 27 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: Nice book, nice cover, nice jacket, nice title, nice subtitle. 28 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: When I needed them, I dug for them. And when 29 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: I say. 30 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: I'll know when I need to, I mean that sometimes 31 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: we haven't really reached the level where we're reaching for 32 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: the answers because we haven't hit the thing in our 33 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: life yet that makes us go oh, I got to 34 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: get this one. 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: Right, you know. I was telling a group of leaders 36 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: this week that I was. 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: Privileged to spend an entire day with, and most of 38 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: them were pastors of churches from different parts of the 39 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: country and different parts of the world, and it was 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: a very small group, so I was able to be 41 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: very personal, very specific with them. And one of the 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: things that I shared with them that really really really 43 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: was heavy in my heart to say to them is. 44 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, I don't I don't really. 45 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: Think that in certain seasons of my life I was 46 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: ready yet for certain things that God wanted to show me, 47 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: and until I was ready, God couldn't say yes. I 48 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: was stuck in that yes but not yet phase. And 49 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: I hope you can hear this when I say it, 50 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: because we all have certain things that we encounter in 51 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: our life that make us go oh no. I don't 52 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: know how to do this, Like I don't know how 53 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: to be a good husband. I don't know how to 54 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: do midlife. And oh, I remember what I was going 55 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: to tell you. I got a little I got a 56 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: little sidetracked thinking about the meeting that I had with 57 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: the pastors. But I was telling them how something about 58 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: the ages of my kids right now twelve, fifteen, seventeen, 59 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: that age in them is making me confront some things 60 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: in me because I've got to win in some certain areas. 61 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Like I didn't really get serious. 62 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: About my self talk, myself talk until I saw in 63 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: my own kids some of the things that they were 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: saying about themselves and to themselves and processing. 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: And when I saw that, it became a mirror for me. 66 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: Last week, I talked about the mirror of the Word 67 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: of God, how the Word of God is like a 68 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: mirror the perfect law that gives freedom. 69 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: I didn't spend a long time. 70 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: There, but I did talk about how a mirror actually 71 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: projects the image back in reverse. So I could have 72 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: taken more time with this in the sermon, But I 73 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: was wearing a hoodie that says can you imagine on it? 74 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: From our new album, But it says it backwards on 75 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: the hoodie, so that when you look at it in 76 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: the mirror, it puts it back. You know, the light 77 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: off of the mirror, it reflects back correctly. And so 78 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: the shirt is backwards and the mirror shows me correctly. 79 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: And I think that God's word is like that, where 80 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: a lot of the things that we believe are backwards, 81 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: and God's Word is that mirror that shows us. 82 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: No, you think that you know that. 83 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: Your human accomplishments and human achievements are the thing that 84 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: bring fulfillment, But no, those things are great and fine, 85 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: and they come from God too. But the real gift, 86 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: the real gift of fulfillment, is found in service and 87 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: connection and flowing in what you're supposed to do. 88 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Right. So I didn't really. 89 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: I didn't really see certain things in myself and get 90 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: self aware until I needed to. 91 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: And the reason I needed to is because. 92 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: I'm looking at my kids and I love them more 93 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: than anybody else in the world except Holly. And I 94 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 2: do love Holly more than I love them, and they 95 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: know that. But next to Holly, they're They're the people 96 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: in the world that I love the most. And in 97 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: saying that I love them enough to confront me. So 98 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: it's been in the last few years that I've done 99 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: a lot of my growth, because man, I need to 100 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: know how to tell my son, here's how you deal 101 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 2: with these feelings that rise up in you, because I 102 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: have them too, and I almost was willing to put 103 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: up with them and myself until I saw them in 104 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: my kids and I said, Okay, we've got to uproot 105 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: this and it starts with my heart. 106 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: So say it again. I'll know when I need to 107 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: when I need to. 108 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: If you're not in the Word of God and you 109 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: say like, well, I don't really know scripture. 110 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: I don't read scripture, then you haven't. 111 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: You haven't become aware enough yet of your need for scripture. 112 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: That's what. 113 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: Blessed are the poor and spirit for theirs the Kingdom 114 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: of Heaven. Blessed those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 115 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: for they will be filled when you get hungry enough. 116 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: When you get hungry enough. Now, I need somebody who 117 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: really wants God to show you what he can do 118 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: and what he has for you, and what he wants 119 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: you to do. I want you to say, I'm hungry enough. 120 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: I'm hungry enough. I'm thirsty enough. Blessed are those who 121 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 122 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: This is Pentecost Sunday we're talking about right. Well, on 123 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: the day of Pentecost, the Spirit of God came and 124 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: it suddenly filled the room. Well, they didn't know when 125 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit was coming. They needed the Holy Spirit, 126 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: and so they sought God and they were all together. 127 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Let's look at this scripture Acts chapter two. 128 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were 129 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: all with one accord, in one place seeking God. Watch 130 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of 131 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled. 132 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: The whole house where they were sitting. So watch this. 133 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: They are sitting there and they don't know when this 134 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: promised Holy Spirit is going to come, and it comes 135 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: suddenly to the place where they were sitting. It comes suddenly. Now, 136 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 2: that's the beautiful thing about God is that his blessings 137 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: come suddenly, but his hand moves steadily. Say that out loud, 138 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: his blessings come suddenly, but his hand moves steadily. 139 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: What am I trying to say.

I might have said it wrong, 174 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: but you could correct me later, all right. 175 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: And so they went together, and they got together and 176 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: they start marching around, and they're marching around for seven 177 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: days and they run out of water. 178 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 3: And. 179 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: They're basically getting ready to attack Moab. And as they 180 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: get ready to attack Moab, they get thirsty and they're about. 181 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: To die for lack of water on their way to 182 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: a war. 183 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: Now, I'm gonna pause here. Sometimes on your way to 184 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: a war, you run. 185 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: Out of water. 186 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: They were going, let me break this down. They were 187 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: going to wage war. Are you writing this down? You 188 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: got to write some of this down, because sometimes you 189 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: are going to wage a war. You're going to a meeting, 190 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: and before the meeting something happens with the car, or 191 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: you're going to have a tough conversation, and before the 192 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: tough conversation comes bad news, and in those moments, your 193 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: strength can feel completely drained. Now, Holly talked about this 194 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, how you need sudden strength, and 195 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 2: we were praying this prayer. I breathe you in Holy Spirit, 196 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: and your strength comes suddenly, somebody says, suddenly, and your 197 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: peace fills me completely. Well, that's from prayer that God 198 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: gave me to to recognize the Holy Spirit in my 199 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: own life, because I noticed there were so many moments 200 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: where I needed God's strength. Right now, I need it now. 201 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: I don't have time to learn the Book of Revelation, 202 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: the Seven Churches, the lampstands, the candlestands. 203 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: I'll know all that when I need to. 204 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: But right now, I just need God to help me 205 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: from saying something crazy. I need God to help me. 206 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: How many of you say I need God to help 207 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: me right now? Well, that was the situation that the 208 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 2: Kings were in. That's the situation that I was praying about. 209 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: I breathe you in Holy Spirit, because sometimes I feel 210 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: like I'm losing it. Sometimes I feel like I'm coming unhinged, unglued. 211 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel like if I don't get God to 212 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 2: help me right now, I'm gonna make a mess of this. 213 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: I don't have time to spend the next ten years 214 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: growing out of my own dysfunction. My kids need to 215 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: see a good example now. I need to make this 216 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: to now. I need to be able to figure out 217 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: what God wants me to do now. And the beautiful 218 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: thing is when you get to your now, I need 219 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: it now. God already knew you'd be there. So God's 220 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: not surprised about where you are. He's not surprised about 221 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: where you struggle. He's not surprised about where you're dry. 222 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: He's not surprised that you're depending on him in this situation. 223 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: He's like, I was waiting on you to figure out 224 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: that you needed me so I could flow into your situation. 225 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: Somebody touched somebody right now on every location and online, 226 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: and say God knew what he would do. Say it 227 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: God knew what he would do in the chat right now, 228 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: God knew what he would do when before you came 229 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: to this moment, and I'm gonna show you in the scripture. 230 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna show you in the scripture that God knew 231 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: what he would do when when Jesus asked the disciples, 232 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: where shall we get bread enough to feed all these people? 233 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: He was trolling them. He knew what he would do. 234 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: The scripture says he knew what he would do. He 235 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: was saying it to test them. Would they trust them? 236 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: That's all it is. Do you trust God enough? That's 237 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: all it is. To take a step forward and say, 238 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: this is the next thing. Ah, breathe in the Holy Spirit. 239 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: Let's go. This is the next thing. I don't know 240 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: what's next after next, but this is next. 241 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 2: Stop putting so much pressure on yourself, students, to know 242 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: what you're gonna do with your life in five years. 243 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: It's not five years. Let's get five seconds. Breathe in 244 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: and be nice. Breathe in and do the next problem 245 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: on the sheet. Breathe in and do the next thing. 246 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: I was preaching a few weeks ago on the next 247 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: Best Thing, and I was talking about how in the 248 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 2: sequence of God. 249 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: We don't know what's coming three years from now. 250 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: We can't judge what we're going through in a generic 251 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: way in any given moment of our life because we 252 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: don't know that we might be one nudge away. Somebody say, 253 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: I'm one nudge away. I'm one nudge away. God can 254 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: nudge someone that you don't even know right now. And 255 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: you might have a wife next year, even though you've 256 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: been single for twenty two. 257 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: God knows.

They were sitting in one accord when 264 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: the spirit came. They were sitting, and it came suddenly, 265 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: but they were sitting. This message is called a steady 266 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: hand for a sudden blessing.

They go get the prophet. 295 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 2: His name is Elishah. He's relatively new as well. He 296 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: is following a great prophet named Elijah.
