  • How many people claim
  • 00:00:01.254 --> 00:00:02.589
  • To get saved, but their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:02.589 --> 00:00:06.426
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:07.027 --> 00:00:08.661
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:08.661 --> 00:00:12.198
  • Something's gotta change because you say, if it was about me,
  • 00:00:13.366 --> 00:00:15.735
  • I would keep scrolling.
  • 00:00:15.735 --> 00:00:17.137
  • But it's about this density, so let me destroy.
  • 00:00:17.137 --> 00:00:20.807
  • Oh, come on, somebody.
  • 00:00:21.307 --> 00:00:27.947
  • Don't know.
  • 00:00:28.281 --> 00:00:32.485
  • Okay, open up with me to numbers.
  • 00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:35.622
  • And we're going to start in chapter 13.
  • 00:00:35.622 --> 00:00:37.590
  • So go ahead and find numbers.
  • 00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:39.459
  • Chapter 13 in your bibles.
  • 00:00:39.459 --> 00:00:42.796
  • While you're looking for that, i wrote you a letter.
  • 00:00:43.863 --> 00:00:46.132
  • Yes, i wrote you a letter.
  • 00:00:46.132 --> 00:00:48.001
  • And i want to read you the letter that i came up
  • 00:00:48.001 --> 00:00:50.870
  • Under the inspiration of the holy spirit to go v1,
  • 00:00:50.870 --> 00:00:55.241
  • Which is the point of no return, where the airplane takes off the runway.
  • 00:00:56.676 --> 00:00:59.679
  • What?
  • 00:00:59.913 --> 00:01:01.848
  • What will happen is you'll have to leave for a strange land like abraham.
  • 00:01:01.848 --> 00:01:05.085
  • You'll stand.
  • 00:01:05.452 --> 00:01:06.753
  • You'll basically stand in front of the red sea.
  • 00:01:06.753 --> 00:01:09.689
  • Like moses.
  • 00:01:10.023 --> 00:01:11.257
  • You'll wrestle the angel like jacob.
  • 00:01:11.257 --> 00:01:12.892
  • You'll break the alabaster box like the worshiping woman.
  • 00:01:12.892 --> 00:01:16.362
  • You'll battle giants in the promised land.
  • 00:01:17.263 --> 00:01:18.298
  • Like caleb and joshua.
  • 00:01:18.298 --> 00:01:19.966
  • You'll burn the plow like elisha.
  • 00:01:19.966 --> 00:01:21.868
  • Following elijah in the prophetic, you'll let down
  • 00:01:21.868 --> 00:01:25.004
  • Your nuts like peter and walk away from your own life.
  • 00:01:25.004 --> 00:01:28.408
  • You'll become a martyr like paul, and then you'll eventually become the true you.
  • 00:01:29.943 --> 00:01:33.012
  • Saying yes to jesus completely
  • 00:01:33.646 --> 00:01:36.015
  • Will make you less and less recognizable to the world.
  • 00:01:36.015 --> 00:01:39.452
  • Your appetites will slowly change your attitudes, your behavior,
  • 00:01:40.787 --> 00:01:44.224
  • And over time you'll resemble less and less even sometimes your own family
  • 00:01:45.725 --> 00:01:48.795
  • And friend group, and you'll start to mimic
  • 00:01:48.795 --> 00:01:51.097
  • The culture of a place you've never physically been to,
  • 00:01:51.097 --> 00:01:54.634
  • But spiritually you know you belong to.
  • 00:01:55.502 --> 00:01:57.804
  • So today, we're just going to talk about
  • 00:01:58.671 --> 00:02:01.207
  • This final message in this series, go v1.
  • 00:02:02.108 --> 00:02:04.744
  • And we're going to start with this.
  • 00:02:05.478 --> 00:02:06.713
  • The cost of seeing what others cannot see,
  • 00:02:06.713 --> 00:02:09.716
  • The cost of seeing what others cannot see.
  • 00:02:10.583 --> 00:02:13.386
  • Church, look at me for a moment.
  • 00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:15.488
  • This is this is why many of you are exhausted.
  • 00:02:15.488 --> 00:02:18.324
  • You're exhausted because, not not because you failed,
  • 00:02:18.324 --> 00:02:22.095
  • But because you're surrounded by people who do not understand your calling.
  • 00:02:23.596 --> 00:02:26.799
  • One of the most exhausting things in life is to try to explain yourself to.
  • 00:02:28.268 --> 00:02:31.070
  • People are who are committed to misunderstanding you.
  • 00:02:31.070 --> 00:02:34.307
  • Okay, come on, get out of the comment section.
  • 00:02:35.208 --> 00:02:36.876
  • Stop. clap. clapping back.
  • 00:02:36.876 --> 00:02:38.945
  • You're never going to win an argument because they're not trying to understand.
  • 00:02:38.945 --> 00:02:42.682
  • They're committed to misunderstanding.
  • 00:02:43.483 --> 00:02:44.918
  • I'm telling on myself
  • 00:02:45.418 --> 00:02:47.487
  • Because my guilty pleasure is the clap back.
  • 00:02:47.487 --> 00:02:50.423
  • And some of you know, you see that my pastor's in the comment section.
  • 00:02:50.423 --> 00:02:53.459
  • Lord, please help him.
  • 00:02:53.459 --> 00:02:54.627
  • Just pray for me next time you see it.
  • 00:02:54.627 --> 00:02:56.796
  • But those the people who are commenting,
  • 00:02:56.796 --> 00:02:59.232
  • They're committed to misunderstanding me,
  • 00:02:59.232 --> 00:03:02.802
  • And there's no condition by which they will come into agreement
  • 00:03:04.070 --> 00:03:06.773
  • Because they did not go into the comment section with that pretense.
  • 00:03:08.141 --> 00:03:09.842
  • Can i get an amen?
  • 00:03:09.842 --> 00:03:11.511
  • And it's exhausting trying to to explain yourself.
  • 00:03:11.511 --> 00:03:14.814
  • Here's another thing it's exhausting to explain the mind of the spirit
  • 00:03:14.814 --> 00:03:19.452
  • To somebody who is constantly in a carnal mind.
  • 00:03:19.452 --> 00:03:22.789
  • And as a christian, you'll make the mistake of thinking
  • 00:03:23.890 --> 00:03:25.692
  • That you can encourage them out of carnality.
  • 00:03:25.692 --> 00:03:30.129
  • You're going to encourage them out of carnality.
  • 00:03:31.097 --> 00:03:33.566
  • No, you can't encourage them beyond their level of crucifixion.
  • 00:03:33.566 --> 00:03:38.371
  • And so it's an invitation to
  • 00:03:38.972 --> 00:03:40.773
  • Crucifixion, not a pat on the back that's going to help them the most.
  • 00:03:40.773 --> 00:03:44.244
  • Because you can't solve a carnal mind by just encouraging them.
  • 00:03:45.445 --> 00:03:48.248
  • And so it's exhausting.
  • 00:03:48.748 --> 00:03:51.084
  • And there's a cost for this.
  • 00:03:51.084 --> 00:03:53.019
  • And this message is for every person who's ever been misunderstood,
  • 00:03:53.019 --> 00:03:56.155
  • Misjudged, mislabeled, and mishandled on the way to their purpose.
  • 00:03:56.155 --> 00:04:00.860
  • Come on.
  • 00:04:01.127 --> 00:04:02.595
  • So, point number one, the majority is usually wrong.
  • 00:04:02.595 --> 00:04:06.065
  • The majority is polyamorous,
  • 00:04:06.666 --> 00:04:09.135
  • The majority is lgbtq plus, i.e.
  • 00:04:09.135 --> 00:04:12.372
  • The oh, come on,
  • 00:04:12.739 --> 00:04:14.440
  • The majority is atheistic.
  • 00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:16.342
  • The majority is christian by title, but not by fruit.
  • 00:04:16.342 --> 00:04:19.846
  • Come on.
  • 00:04:20.113 --> 00:04:20.913
  • The majority is muslim.
  • 00:04:20.913 --> 00:04:22.115
  • The majority is usually wrong.
  • 00:04:22.115 --> 00:04:25.385
  • Let's just start with that number.
  • 00:04:26.152 --> 00:04:27.086
  • Chapter 13, verse 27.
  • 00:04:27.086 --> 00:04:29.055
  • And they told him, when we came to the land to which you sent
  • 00:04:29.055 --> 00:04:32.925
  • Us, it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
  • 00:04:32.925 --> 00:04:36.095
  • However, everybody shall. however,
  • 00:04:36.095 --> 00:04:38.531
  • The people who dwell in the land are strong,
  • 00:04:39.432 --> 00:04:41.934
  • And the cities are fortified, and very large.
  • 00:04:41.934 --> 00:04:45.171
  • So here's the thing.
  • 00:04:45.638 --> 00:04:47.507
  • The condition that comes
  • 00:04:47.507 --> 00:04:49.475
  • With the promise is, however.
  • 00:04:49.475 --> 00:04:52.745
  • Hey, i got good news for you.
  • 00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:54.614
  • You're not going to be single forever.
  • 00:04:54.614 --> 00:04:56.349
  • Oh, they might be here.
  • 00:04:56.349 --> 00:04:59.152
  • Look around.
  • 00:04:59.152 --> 00:05:01.354
  • However,
  • 00:05:01.354 --> 00:05:03.122
  • They have just as many issues as you do.
  • 00:05:03.122 --> 00:05:06.826
  • Oh, they're going to serve me and married you.
  • 00:05:07.794 --> 00:05:09.395
  • No, no, no, you're going to serve them.
  • 00:05:09.395 --> 00:05:12.098
  • Everything good, even from god, comes with a however,
  • 00:05:12.098 --> 00:05:16.769
  • Can i unlock why?
  • 00:05:16.769 --> 00:05:21.441
  • Joshua needed the giants.
  • 00:05:22.008 --> 00:05:25.345
  • So you never heard this version of it?
  • 00:05:26.179 --> 00:05:27.547
  • Joshua and the people of israel needed the giants.
  • 00:05:27.547 --> 00:05:31.384
  • Because the giants became the training ground
  • 00:05:32.352 --> 00:05:33.886
  • To build the character, to keep what god was giving them.
  • 00:05:33.886 --> 00:05:37.623
  • So what happens is you got to learn how to fight for a marriage,
  • 00:05:38.958 --> 00:05:41.461
  • Because the fight is what teaches you how to keep it.
  • 00:05:42.495 --> 00:05:45.064
  • Come on.
  • 00:05:45.331 --> 00:05:47.100
  • Sometimes being single will make you appreciate the marriage season
  • 00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:50.002
  • Because you'll remember how it was without them,
  • 00:05:50.002 --> 00:05:52.004
  • Even though you're annoyed by them.
  • 00:05:52.004 --> 00:05:53.473
  • Julie.
  • 00:05:53.473 --> 00:05:56.442
  • Come on, she's not here
  • 00:05:56.442 --> 00:05:57.844
  • So i can get away with a little some extra, right? but.
  • 00:05:57.844 --> 00:06:01.214
  • So the thing is that, however, is needed to unlock
  • 00:06:01.214 --> 00:06:05.485
  • The process that enables us to keep the promise.
  • 00:06:05.485 --> 00:06:09.389
  • Because if they just stepped up into the promised land
  • 00:06:10.423 --> 00:06:12.425
  • And there were no giants, they would take it for granted.
  • 00:06:12.425 --> 00:06:15.762
  • If god just gave us the manhattan venue we wanted, we wouldn't appreciate it.
  • 00:06:17.296 --> 00:06:21.367
  • Hey, good news you got a venue in manhattan.
  • 00:06:22.268 --> 00:06:23.770
  • However, you'll never fit,
  • 00:06:23.770 --> 00:06:26.339
  • Am i right?
  • 00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:27.673
  • Everything that god does comes with a however,
  • 00:06:27.673 --> 00:06:31.077
  • But we're blaming it on the devil and the lord's laughing.
  • 00:06:32.245 --> 00:06:33.880
  • He said the devil didn't do it.
  • 00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:35.381
  • I allowed it because this is your training ground,
  • 00:06:35.381 --> 00:06:39.318
  • And stop trying to
  • 00:06:39.752 --> 00:06:40.753
  • Get out of it and go through it.
  • 00:06:40.753 --> 00:06:44.023
  • Y'all feel me?
  • 00:06:44.390 --> 00:06:45.691
  • Okay, now flip the page to numbers chapter 14,
  • 00:06:45.691 --> 00:06:48.995
  • Because we're going to go to the next chapter.
  • 00:06:49.962 --> 00:06:51.464
  • And joshua, the son of nun, and caleb the son of funa,
  • 00:06:51.464 --> 00:06:54.333
  • Who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
  • 00:06:55.668 --> 00:06:58.471
  • And said to the congregation of the people of israel,
  • 00:06:59.505 --> 00:07:01.374
  • The land which we pass through despite ours, is an exceedingly good land.
  • 00:07:01.374 --> 00:07:05.411
  • And if the lord delights in us, he will bring us into the land,
  • 00:07:06.612 --> 00:07:08.514
  • And he will give it to us.
  • 00:07:09.081 --> 00:07:10.349
  • A land flowing with milk and honey only
  • 00:07:10.349 --> 00:07:12.985
  • Do not rebel against the lord, and do not fear the people of the land.
  • 00:07:14.387 --> 00:07:17.723
  • What he was saying was, the only thing that can stop us is us.
  • 00:07:18.925 --> 00:07:21.994
  • The only thing that can stop you is you.
  • 00:07:22.862 --> 00:07:24.964
  • The devil's already defeated. deliverance is easy.
  • 00:07:24.964 --> 00:07:27.867
  • It's me exercising the authority christ gave me when he crushed.
  • 00:07:27.867 --> 00:07:31.571
  • Satan said, it's already done.
  • 00:07:31.571 --> 00:07:33.473
  • Death has been defeated.
  • 00:07:33.473 --> 00:07:34.907
  • We're just exercising authority from a past victory.
  • 00:07:34.907 --> 00:07:38.044
  • The real fight is you versus you.
  • 00:07:38.044 --> 00:07:42.682
  • If you're near one of our campuses,
  • 00:07:43.416 --> 00:07:45.551
  • I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
  • 00:07:45.551 --> 00:07:50.490
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:07:51.958 --> 00:07:55.127
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:07:56.128 --> 00:07:58.698
  • Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:07:59.665 --> 00:08:01.501
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:08:01.501 --> 00:08:05.404
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
  • 00:08:05.404 --> 00:08:14.413
  • I got a demon of lust.
  • 00:08:14.914 --> 00:08:16.249
  • No, you have a lack of discipline.
  • 00:08:16.249 --> 00:08:18.985
  • You're a you're an entitled christian.
  • 00:08:18.985 --> 00:08:22.188
  • Come on.
  • 00:08:22.455 --> 00:08:23.990
  • Who thinks that you can get away with it and not go to hell?
  • 00:08:23.990 --> 00:08:26.926
  • That's what it really is.
  • 00:08:27.493 --> 00:08:28.594
  • Stop blaming the devil's defeated.
  • 00:08:28.594 --> 00:08:30.897
  • It. deliverance is a one time process for crucifixion is daily hold me.
  • 00:08:30.897 --> 00:08:35.535
  • Everybody wants deliverance for who wants to die with me.
  • 00:08:36.669 --> 00:08:39.572
  • That's where the narrow road is shaped.
  • 00:08:40.373 --> 00:08:43.476
  • So this is what he was saying.
  • 00:08:44.110 --> 00:08:45.378
  • He was like, yo, you're tripping on those giants.
  • 00:08:45.378 --> 00:08:47.380
  • But you got giant down, giant fear, giants sin.
  • 00:08:47.380 --> 00:08:51.817
  • You got to deal with you.
  • 00:08:51.817 --> 00:08:54.086
  • God can give us the victory are to use the shepherd boy with a sling and a stone.
  • 00:08:54.086 --> 00:08:58.758
  • So when i look at this, the majority is usually wrong.
  • 00:08:59.859 --> 00:09:02.595
  • Now, going deeper on this message,
  • 00:09:03.362 --> 00:09:05.798
  • The thing
  • 00:09:06.098 --> 00:09:07.466
  • Was, there were 12 experts that spied out the land
  • 00:09:07.466 --> 00:09:10.436
  • That was promised to israel, and technically all of them were right.
  • 00:09:10.436 --> 00:09:14.874
  • But see, the ones that the ten that saw it,
  • 00:09:15.775 --> 00:09:18.110
  • They were only right by the natural mind.
  • 00:09:18.978 --> 00:09:21.147
  • And see what god will do is he's looking for people
  • 00:09:22.148 --> 00:09:24.116
  • That can acknowledge the natural, but can see the spiritual realm.
  • 00:09:24.116 --> 00:09:28.588
  • It's just like the servant to the prophet.
  • 00:09:29.455 --> 00:09:31.090
  • He comes back, oh no, we're going to die.
  • 00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:33.326
  • There's there's so many soldiers out there.
  • 00:09:33.326 --> 00:09:35.428
  • He was right,
  • 00:09:35.428 --> 00:09:37.830
  • But he wasn't right by the spirit.
  • 00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:40.499
  • So the prophet said, go out and look again.
  • 00:09:40.499 --> 00:09:43.035
  • Somebody shout, look again!
  • 00:09:43.035 --> 00:09:45.071
  • Because he walks out there and then he sees
  • 00:09:45.071 --> 00:09:47.640
  • This exceedingly great army and he says, whoa!
  • 00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:51.077
  • Now that i added the rest of the equation, i can see that all of those enemies
  • 00:09:52.578 --> 00:09:56.115
  • Multiplied by zero equals zero, because you're no match for god.
  • 00:09:57.350 --> 00:10:00.620
  • And there's more for us.
  • 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.254
  • And against us somebody say, look again.
  • 00:10:02.254 --> 00:10:05.157
  • So in the natural realm, oh, manhattan is so expensive.
  • 00:10:06.225 --> 00:10:09.395
  • It's more expensive to be out of the will of god.
  • 00:10:10.429 --> 00:10:13.065
  • The most expensive place
  • 00:10:13.566 --> 00:10:15.201
  • For your life is disobedience, not manhattan.
  • 00:10:15.201 --> 00:10:19.438
  • Let's look again.
  • 00:10:19.872 --> 00:10:22.608
  • All right, my second point.
  • 00:10:22.608 --> 00:10:24.510
  • There's always a pit on the way to purpose where if i were to reword
  • 00:10:24.510 --> 00:10:27.546
  • This in the aviation language, because this is v1 church,
  • 00:10:27.546 --> 00:10:31.550
  • Is that any road can turn to a runway, any road can turn into a runway.
  • 00:10:32.985 --> 00:10:36.656
  • What do i mean by that?
  • 00:10:37.156 --> 00:10:38.457
  • Look at second samuel chapter 23, verse 20.
  • 00:10:38.457 --> 00:10:41.427
  • And benaiah the son of jonah was a valiant
  • 00:10:42.328 --> 00:10:44.530
  • Man of kept zeal, a doer of great deeds.
  • 00:10:44.530 --> 00:10:48.134
  • He struck down two men that were like lions.
  • 00:10:49.068 --> 00:10:51.203
  • This is the interpretation.
  • 00:10:51.804 --> 00:10:53.606
  • And he also went down and struck a lion, an actual lion in the pit.
  • 00:10:53.606 --> 00:10:56.776
  • On a day when snow had fallen.
  • 00:10:56.776 --> 00:10:58.811
  • Everybody else avoided that pit.
  • 00:10:58.811 --> 00:11:00.880
  • Everyone else said it was the wrong day, was the wrong fight.
  • 00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:04.216
  • It's not my fight. i don't have to fight that lion.
  • 00:11:04.216 --> 00:11:06.619
  • But this man, benaiah, he took someone else's burden upon himself.
  • 00:11:06.619 --> 00:11:11.924
  • He did the thing in private when nobody was looking.
  • 00:11:12.992 --> 00:11:15.394
  • And i just want to say to all the young people.
  • 00:11:16.328 --> 00:11:17.863
  • Because this is the old dog talking to you right now.
  • 00:11:17.863 --> 00:11:20.166
  • If the only time you evangelize is to make content out of evangelism, you didn't.
  • 00:11:20.166 --> 00:11:25.304
  • You're not an evangelist.
  • 00:11:25.871 --> 00:11:27.339
  • There's god, and there's nothing wrong with filming it.
  • 00:11:27.339 --> 00:11:29.241
  • For that to be a form of discipleship to those who need to see it.
  • 00:11:29.241 --> 00:11:32.878
  • But if it's the only time you do it, if the only time you get
  • 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.649
  • What i'm trying to say. the lord searches the heart.
  • 00:11:36.649 --> 00:11:39.085
  • The lord knows the motive.
  • 00:11:39.085 --> 00:11:40.653
  • And there's some things that we need to start moving offline
  • 00:11:40.653 --> 00:11:43.589
  • So that having can acknowledge the purity of heart.
  • 00:11:43.589 --> 00:11:46.358
  • And benaiah see benaiah.
  • 00:11:46.358 --> 00:11:48.260
  • He did it when nobody was watching.
  • 00:11:48.260 --> 00:11:50.496
  • He there was no algorithm, but there was the algorithm of the kingdom
  • 00:11:50.496 --> 00:11:54.366
  • That knows how to promote those that do things in private.
  • 00:11:55.501 --> 00:11:57.470
  • There was the algorithm of the kingdom.
  • 00:11:58.270 --> 00:11:59.371
  • He was interacting with something.
  • 00:11:59.371 --> 00:12:00.906
  • And let me just tell you, i didn't have to come to new york.
  • 00:12:00.906 --> 00:12:03.709
  • Here's my here's my point is that benaiah,
  • 00:12:04.610 --> 00:12:07.446
  • You know, he went and fought somebody else's battle.
  • 00:12:08.514 --> 00:12:10.950
  • But there was a wisdom to it because he knew when that lion gets out
  • 00:12:10.950 --> 00:12:14.653
  • Of the pit, he could kill my own child and could kill someone else's child.
  • 00:12:14.653 --> 00:12:18.858
  • But isn't a hero by definition, somebody who fights for somebody else?
  • 00:12:20.292 --> 00:12:23.362
  • Somebody.
  • 00:12:23.362 --> 00:12:25.397
  • It's the fireman that runs into somebody else's apartment, somebody else's house.
  • 00:12:25.397 --> 00:12:27.933
  • It's that's the definition of a hero.
  • 00:12:27.933 --> 00:12:30.936
  • And so when i came to new york, i and i don't, i don't take any credit.
  • 00:12:30.936 --> 00:12:34.640
  • But i was burdened by the lord.
  • 00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:36.442
  • And i remember going into the subways and getting on the busses
  • 00:12:36.442 --> 00:12:39.745
  • And driving my car around, it just being weepy.
  • 00:12:39.745 --> 00:12:42.581
  • And i would
  • 00:12:42.581 --> 00:12:44.450
  • I would cry for the souls and i would say, who's pastoring these people?
  • 00:12:44.450 --> 00:12:47.219
  • Who's telling these people about jesus and i.
  • 00:12:48.187 --> 00:12:49.221
  • I knew that it was his heart.
  • 00:12:49.221 --> 00:12:50.723
  • In my heart because my heart's wicked.
  • 00:12:50.723 --> 00:12:52.892
  • But but when i stepped up in, is there anybody who knows what i'm talking about?
  • 00:12:52.892 --> 00:12:56.328
  • When you're moved with compassion for the people, because the holy spirit
  • 00:12:56.328 --> 00:13:00.599
  • In you is testifying that there's more for that girl, there's more for that guy,
  • 00:13:00.599 --> 00:13:04.937
  • And you just can't help but to move in the direction of that compassion.
  • 00:13:04.937 --> 00:13:08.941
  • Do you know what i'm talking about?
  • 00:13:09.675 --> 00:13:11.110
  • And so, like benaiah,
  • 00:13:11.610 --> 00:13:13.445
  • I said, i'm not hungry, but i'm going to feed somebody else.
  • 00:13:13.445 --> 00:13:17.383
  • And all these years later and i'm looking at
  • 00:13:18.317 --> 00:13:20.119
  • Come on, i'm looking at my girl distributing food in brooklyn
  • 00:13:20.119 --> 00:13:23.489
  • And just owning that vision and distributing food
  • 00:13:24.523 --> 00:13:27.059
  • To other people.
  • 00:13:27.426 --> 00:13:29.028
  • And it's what makes you a hero is when it's not your fight,
  • 00:13:29.028 --> 00:13:31.597
  • But you join the fight.
  • 00:13:31.597 --> 00:13:33.966
  • And i think the hardest thing to convince.
  • 00:13:33.966 --> 00:13:36.669
  • Can i just not look at you when i say this?
  • 00:13:36.669 --> 00:13:38.370
  • Because i don't want you to think i'm saying it to you.
  • 00:13:38.370 --> 00:13:40.639
  • Consumeristic christians
  • 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.442
  • Who come to church for themselves
  • 00:13:43.442 --> 00:13:46.779
  • To receive, not to be equipped to go give.
  • 00:13:47.680 --> 00:13:50.549
  • But let me tell you, i'm
  • 00:13:51.050 --> 00:13:52.751
  • Saying this with a great deal of empathy, because you do have needs.
  • 00:13:52.751 --> 00:13:55.654
  • You do.
  • 00:13:55.888 --> 00:13:56.455
  • You do
  • 00:13:56.455 --> 00:13:58.490
  • You do need to come to church to receive, but that shouldn't be your goal. why?
  • 00:13:58.490 --> 00:14:01.093
  • Because let me show you the way of the kingdom is those who refresh others.
  • 00:14:02.595 --> 00:14:05.798
  • Will they themselves be refreshed?
  • 00:14:06.565 --> 00:14:08.434
  • So whenever i need a prophecy, i start prophesying over other people.
  • 00:14:08.434 --> 00:14:13.105
  • I don't ask for a prophecy, i start prophesying. why?
  • 00:14:14.206 --> 00:14:16.709
  • Because i'm sowing and i know that i'll read when i need.
  • 00:14:17.877 --> 00:14:20.145
  • Financially, i begin to give seed. why?
  • 00:14:20.145 --> 00:14:22.982
  • Because he gives seed to the sower, not to the one who eats seed,
  • 00:14:22.982 --> 00:14:27.186
  • Not to the one who keeps the seed in their pocket or their bank account.
  • 00:14:28.554 --> 00:14:30.723
  • But the more seed you sow, he gives seed to the one who is sowing.
  • 00:14:32.091 --> 00:14:35.094
  • And so this kingdom is upside down, because the world says you just need
  • 00:14:36.462 --> 00:14:38.697
  • To have a season for yourself.
  • 00:14:38.697 --> 00:14:40.499
  • But we've been living for ourselves our whole life.
  • 00:14:40.499 --> 00:14:43.168
  • We need to flip it upside down.
  • 00:14:43.168 --> 00:14:44.970
  • Jesus, who had no sin, put his love out on the line and died for you.
  • 00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:49.942
  • He's the original benaiah
  • 00:14:50.509 --> 00:14:52.444
  • Who didn't need to fight that line, but he's destroyed satan when you cut it,
  • 00:14:52.444 --> 00:14:56.415
  • Then he's lifted up in the heavenly places.
  • 00:14:57.316 --> 00:15:00.552
  • Y'all, you know what i'm saying?
  • 00:15:01.186 --> 00:15:03.822
  • If you're the one who's giving,
  • 00:15:04.456 --> 00:15:06.759
  • Even when you feel like you have nothing to give, you refresh.
  • 00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.929
  • When you need a refreshing, all of a sudden it will come back to you.
  • 00:15:09.929 --> 00:15:13.365
  • Good measure.
  • 00:15:13.365 --> 00:15:14.800
  • Pressed down, shaken together, running over your bosom.
  • 00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:17.069
  • You know what i'm saying?
  • 00:15:17.069 --> 00:15:18.771
  • Don't ask what's a bosom?
  • 00:15:18.771 --> 00:15:19.972
  • Just write that down.
  • 00:15:19.972 --> 00:15:23.309
  • When god marks you, he will give you opportunities
  • 00:15:24.343 --> 00:15:26.912
  • Too dangerous for average people and too divine for you to ignore.
  • 00:15:26.912 --> 00:15:32.184
  • Some 1829 says, for by you
  • 00:15:32.751 --> 00:15:36.021
  • I can run against the truth, and by my god i can leap over a wall.
  • 00:15:36.021 --> 00:15:40.693
  • I just, let's stop making excuses.
  • 00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:43.896
  • Let's start making moves.
  • 00:15:43.896 --> 00:15:45.831
  • I can't afford it. you can't afford not to.
  • 00:15:45.831 --> 00:15:48.834
  • Oh, it's too hard.
  • 00:15:48.834 --> 00:15:49.802
  • Any hard enough?
  • 00:15:49.802 --> 00:15:51.103
  • It's training your soul. let's flip the script.
  • 00:15:51.103 --> 00:15:53.439
  • You know, it's like god will give you an ability. it's like,
  • 00:15:53.439 --> 00:15:55.975
  • How are you going to run with horses if you can't keep up with a man?
  • 00:15:55.975 --> 00:15:59.478
  • See, god is always pushing us past our limits.
  • 00:16:00.446 --> 00:16:02.448
  • Because at the very end of ourselves is the beginning of the spirit.
  • 00:16:02.448 --> 00:16:06.685
  • Some of you like, i feel like i'm going to break a good break
  • 00:16:07.886 --> 00:16:10.456
  • Because some of you, the whole reason why you're in this situation you're in
  • 00:16:11.890 --> 00:16:13.959
  • Is because you haven't broken yet.
  • 00:16:13.959 --> 00:16:16.028
  • There's something about really breaking that will get you to
  • 00:16:16.028 --> 00:16:18.630
  • That point where god will then push you into the supernatural.
  • 00:16:18.630 --> 00:16:23.869
  • They say it's cancer.
  • 00:16:24.370 --> 00:16:25.904
  • Go look again.
  • 00:16:25.904 --> 00:16:27.840
  • He's a healer.
  • 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.742
  • Come on. they say it's impossible.
  • 00:16:29.742 --> 00:16:31.477
  • Go look again.
  • 00:16:31.477 --> 00:16:32.611
  • For with god all things are possible.
  • 00:16:32.611 --> 00:16:35.147
  • Go look again.
  • 00:16:35.147 --> 00:16:36.048
  • They said that she's dead.
  • 00:16:36.048 --> 00:16:37.483
  • I'll go look again.
  • 00:16:37.483 --> 00:16:38.417
  • She's just sleeping.
  • 00:16:38.417 --> 00:16:39.785
  • See? god, jesus was always flipping the script.
  • 00:16:39.785 --> 00:16:42.321
  • You know what i mean?
  • 00:16:42.321 --> 00:16:43.856
  • And in order for you to step into fullness, you got to learn
  • 00:16:43.856 --> 00:16:46.358
  • How to talk like the kingdom and stop talking like this city.
  • 00:16:46.358 --> 00:16:51.430
  • Come on. here's the.
  • 00:16:51.897 --> 00:16:53.665
  • As we come to a close point number three, this is going to be real bad.
  • 00:16:53.665 --> 00:16:57.736
  • Not everyone with oil is willing to break it.
  • 00:16:57.736 --> 00:17:01.173
  • Mark chapter 14, verse three talks about this woman at bethany,
  • 00:17:02.441 --> 00:17:05.978
  • And she comes with this alabaster box and she breaks it.
  • 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.081
  • You've all heard that preach. but you know what?
  • 00:17:09.081 --> 00:17:10.716
  • You probably haven't heard it.
  • 00:17:10.716 --> 00:17:12.151
  • She wasn't the only person with an alabaster box.
  • 00:17:12.151 --> 00:17:15.554
  • She was the only one willing to break it.
  • 00:17:16.422 --> 00:17:18.257
  • If people act like there was no alabaster box.
  • 00:17:19.191 --> 00:17:21.560
  • Is that just this one woman had an alabaster box? no.
  • 00:17:21.560 --> 00:17:25.130
  • This was a common item in the first century.
  • 00:17:26.065 --> 00:17:27.699
  • Of course it was.
  • 00:17:27.699 --> 00:17:29.101
  • It was an opulent gift. it was a year's worth of wages.
  • 00:17:29.101 --> 00:17:31.570
  • But it's like saying a rolex.
  • 00:17:31.570 --> 00:17:33.172
  • It's like you're not the only one with a rollie,
  • 00:17:33.172 --> 00:17:36.442
  • You know what i mean?
  • 00:17:36.942 --> 00:17:38.177
  • You're not the only one with a gucci.
  • 00:17:38.177 --> 00:17:40.112
  • It's like. it's
  • 00:17:40.112 --> 00:17:42.014
  • Like she had something of great value, but many people had alabaster boxes.
  • 00:17:42.014 --> 00:17:46.151
  • She was just the only one who saw jesus and knew what to do with it.
  • 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.988
  • Everybody has a bank account.
  • 00:17:50.622 --> 00:17:52.324
  • There's only a few that'll break it for the kingdom.
  • 00:17:52.324 --> 00:17:54.993
  • Everybody's got a gift.
  • 00:17:54.993 --> 00:17:56.528
  • There's only a few that'll break it open for the kingdom.
  • 00:17:56.528 --> 00:17:59.264
  • Everybody's got it.
  • 00:17:59.264 --> 00:18:00.466
  • But who's willing to break it open?
  • 00:18:00.466 --> 00:18:02.935
  • I don't think for a second i'm the best preacher.
  • 00:18:02.935 --> 00:18:05.404
  • I remember struggling with my my own role at the church.
  • 00:18:05.404 --> 00:18:09.174
  • And, you know, this is hard to administer.
  • 00:18:09.174 --> 00:18:11.043
  • I remember asking god, like god, why did you choose me? god?
  • 00:18:11.043 --> 00:18:14.213
  • Why am i here?
  • 00:18:14.213 --> 00:18:15.114
  • How did i get to new york?
  • 00:18:15.114 --> 00:18:17.149
  • And the lord divinely spoke to me and said, mike, you're the one who said yes.
  • 00:18:17.149 --> 00:18:20.219
  • When everybody said no,
  • 00:18:20.219 --> 00:18:22.087
  • I'm okay with being the fifth choice.
  • 00:18:22.888 --> 00:18:25.757
  • Sometimes four others say no, but i'll tell you what's a yes to god
  • 00:18:25.757 --> 00:18:30.295
  • Will unlock the anointing and the favor and the glory of god on your life.
  • 00:18:31.763 --> 00:18:35.400
  • And i'll tell you, god is in the business of upgrading the willing.
  • 00:18:36.768 --> 00:18:38.537
  • He's upgrading the surrendered, upgrading the obedience.
  • 00:18:39.638 --> 00:18:42.007
  • Come on, god will use you to do great, mighty things if you'll give him your.
  • 00:18:42.007 --> 00:18:45.744
  • Yes. completely.
  • 00:18:45.744 --> 00:18:47.346
  • No reservations.
  • 00:18:47.346 --> 00:18:48.647
  • Is there anybody willing to go?
  • 00:18:48.647 --> 00:18:50.082
  • Z1 come on.
  • 00:18:50.082 --> 00:18:53.352
  • Point number four.
  • 00:18:53.785 --> 00:18:55.187
  • Rejection is god's way of protecting revelation.
  • 00:18:55.187 --> 00:18:59.057
  • You know, in my early years, i used to call all the time different men of god.
  • 00:19:00.592 --> 00:19:03.061
  • Will you be my spiritual father?
  • 00:19:03.061 --> 00:19:08.367
  • And i got rejected, rejected, rejected.
  • 00:19:04.863 --> 00:19:11.336
  • I just wanted somebody to invest in me.
  • 00:19:11.336 --> 00:19:13.972
  • And, you know, as i've gotten older and i look back, i realize if the wrong people
  • 00:19:13.972 --> 00:19:18.177
  • Agreed with me too soon, they would have contaminated my calling.
  • 00:19:18.177 --> 00:19:22.347
  • There's things that i wanted that i shouldn't have.
  • 00:19:23.382 --> 00:19:25.150
  • There are things that i wanted to do i shouldn't have done,
  • 00:19:25.150 --> 00:19:27.786
  • And even their rejection was god's protection.
  • 00:19:27.786 --> 00:19:30.923
  • Do you all know what i'm saying?
  • 00:19:30.923 --> 00:19:33.025
  • And so some of you think that you're lonely, you're not lonely, you're preserved.
  • 00:19:33.025 --> 00:19:37.362
  • You're not lonely, you're protected.
  • 00:19:38.130 --> 00:19:40.499
  • There's a difference.
  • 00:19:40.499 --> 00:19:41.700
  • Oh, lord, i'm so lonely.
  • 00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:42.834
  • No, no.
  • 00:19:42.834 --> 00:19:44.102
  • Matter of fact, 100% of the men i reached out to
  • 00:19:44.102 --> 00:19:46.205
  • To be my spiritual father are no longer in ministry.
  • 00:19:46.205 --> 00:19:49.541
  • Hey, join me for the trip of a lifetime
  • 00:19:50.375 --> 00:19:52.878
  • As we travel, retracing the apostle paul steps.
  • 00:19:52.878 --> 00:19:56.448
  • Yes, right there, where scripture was first written,
  • 00:19:56.448 --> 00:20:00.152
  • Right there where the early church was born.
  • 00:20:01.053 --> 00:20:02.721
  • We're going to go from site to site. i'm going to be teaching.
  • 00:20:02.721 --> 00:20:05.557
  • We're going to get to meet.
  • 00:20:05.557 --> 00:20:07.059
  • We're going to share some incredible meals together.
  • 00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:09.461
  • You're going to get to meet other people from around the world.
  • 00:20:09.461 --> 00:20:12.197
  • And this is an exclusive trip, okay.
  • 00:20:12.197 --> 00:20:14.666
  • Which means you've got to act now while there are still seats available.
  • 00:20:14.666 --> 00:20:18.870
  • So scan the qr code, tap the link and get your seat.
  • 00:20:19.905 --> 00:20:23.208
  • Now. you are not going to regret it.
  • 00:20:23.976 --> 00:20:24.943
  • I can't wait to see you on this.
  • 00:20:24.943 --> 00:20:26.878
  • Retracing the apostle paul greece tour.
  • 00:20:26.878 --> 00:20:29.748
  • Come on land and sea.
  • 00:20:29.748 --> 00:20:31.483
  • It doesn't get any better than that.
  • 00:20:31.483 --> 00:20:33.085
  • I'll see you there.
  • 00:20:33.085 --> 00:20:34.653
  • So the lord said, you don't get that dna
  • 00:20:34.653 --> 00:20:37.522
  • Because that's not your future.
  • 00:20:38.156 --> 00:20:40.492
  • It's fruit that remains.
  • 00:20:40.492 --> 00:20:42.561
  • So the lord will protect.
  • 00:20:42.561 --> 00:20:44.129
  • Psalm chapter 27 verse ten says, for my father
  • 00:20:44.129 --> 00:20:47.532
  • And my mother have forsaken me, but the lord will take me, and i'll come on.
  • 00:20:47.532 --> 00:20:51.970
  • All their rejection did was cause heaven to extend an invitation.
  • 00:20:51.970 --> 00:20:56.241
  • Come. go deeper.
  • 00:20:56.608 --> 00:20:57.709
  • I'm here for you. i'll train you.
  • 00:20:57.709 --> 00:20:59.177
  • I'll teach you.
  • 00:20:59.177 --> 00:21:00.712
  • And then god brought the right people at the right time.
  • 00:21:00.712 --> 00:21:03.115
  • And it wasn't even who i wanted.
  • 00:21:03.749 --> 00:21:05.284
  • It wasn't the flashiest man y'all seen dwayne vander clark?
  • 00:21:05.284 --> 00:21:08.287
  • I mean, he's not flash.
  • 00:21:08.787 --> 00:21:10.155
  • He don't come in. he doesn't scream. he yelled.
  • 00:21:10.155 --> 00:21:12.391
  • Dwayne is not the guy i wanted, but he's who i needed because.
  • 00:21:12.391 --> 00:21:16.928
  • Because i needed dwayne's marriage to jeanie.
  • 00:21:17.896 --> 00:21:20.198
  • I needed dwayne's faithfulness to the local church.
  • 00:21:21.233 --> 00:21:23.669
  • I needed dwayne's commitment to the scriptures.
  • 00:21:24.636 --> 00:21:25.971
  • It wasn't who i wanted, but it's who i needed.
  • 00:21:25.971 --> 00:21:28.774
  • And some of you who got rejected by the people you wish would cover you,
  • 00:21:28.774 --> 00:21:32.544
  • That you wish would invest you.
  • 00:21:32.544 --> 00:21:33.945
  • But but the lord said in your immaturity,
  • 00:21:33.945 --> 00:21:36.248
  • You ask for them, but i know what you need.
  • 00:21:36.248 --> 00:21:39.251
  • You need a white pastor, mike, signaling.
  • 00:21:39.251 --> 00:21:43.588
  • But it's true.
  • 00:21:43.955 --> 00:21:46.058
  • I mean, not to.
  • 00:21:46.058 --> 00:21:46.858
  • What the white part is.
  • 00:21:46.858 --> 00:21:50.262
  • It's true, though, that god knows what we need.
  • 00:21:51.229 --> 00:21:54.533
  • As a matter of fact, there's been times where i'm like, lord,
  • 00:21:55.701 --> 00:21:57.369
  • Why didn't you do this sooner?
  • 00:21:57.369 --> 00:21:58.937
  • And he was like, because you would have screwed it all up.
  • 00:21:58.937 --> 00:22:03.875
  • I told this story in front of 300 pastors across america,
  • 00:22:05.043 --> 00:22:09.348
  • But when i was a little kid,
  • 00:22:09.948 --> 00:22:11.249
  • My grandmother asked me to fertilize her lawn,
  • 00:22:11.249 --> 00:22:13.085
  • And i thought i was going to do the best job ever.
  • 00:22:13.085 --> 00:22:15.253
  • And i dumped all this fertilizer in the spreader.
  • 00:22:15.253 --> 00:22:17.823
  • And i did a stripe and a stripe and a stripe, and it looked good.
  • 00:22:17.823 --> 00:22:20.726
  • And i said, you know what will make the grass
  • 00:22:20.726 --> 00:22:22.627
  • Even greener if i do more fertilizer?
  • 00:22:22.627 --> 00:22:24.796
  • So i went the opposite direction.
  • 00:22:24.796 --> 00:22:26.765
  • Then i said, you know what? there's still more in the bag.
  • 00:22:26.765 --> 00:22:28.834
  • I put more in.
  • 00:22:28.834 --> 00:22:30.902
  • I went the other direction and two weeks later i went back to my grandma's house
  • 00:22:30.902 --> 00:22:33.538
  • And all of the grass was completely singed, burned.
  • 00:22:34.573 --> 00:22:36.541
  • It was all yellow.
  • 00:22:36.541 --> 00:22:38.543
  • And i looked at my grandma and i said, what happened?
  • 00:22:38.543 --> 00:22:41.146
  • What? i tried my hardest.
  • 00:22:41.146 --> 00:22:43.115
  • I did the best job i could and she was like, doolittle, you just you just don't.
  • 00:22:43.115 --> 00:22:47.986
  • You didn't know what you were doing.
  • 00:22:48.787 --> 00:22:51.056
  • This is ministry.
  • 00:22:51.056 --> 00:22:53.859
  • Your effort doesn't matter if you're doing it wrong.
  • 00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:58.230
  • But lord, i, i cast out demons in your name.
  • 00:22:59.131 --> 00:23:02.100
  • But lord, i prayed for the sick.
  • 00:23:02.100 --> 00:23:03.602
  • But, lord, i led people to christ. depart from me.
  • 00:23:03.602 --> 00:23:06.104
  • For you never knew me. you don't know what you're doing.
  • 00:23:06.104 --> 00:23:08.840
  • You destroyed people thinking you were helping.
  • 00:23:08.840 --> 00:23:11.143
  • Sometimes, even with the best intentions we end up destroying.
  • 00:23:11.143 --> 00:23:15.213
  • So we need training.
  • 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:17.249
  • We need to be developed.
  • 00:23:17.249 --> 00:23:18.617
  • We need time.
  • 00:23:18.617 --> 00:23:19.985
  • I was a little boy trying to fertilize a lawn.
  • 00:23:19.985 --> 00:23:22.220
  • Nobody taught me my heart was right, but my actions were wrong.
  • 00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:26.491
  • This is why james goes to the church at jerusalem
  • 00:23:27.492 --> 00:23:29.227
  • And says, y'all, not all of you should be teachers. why?
  • 00:23:29.227 --> 00:23:33.098
  • Because you got to be willing to go through the process
  • 00:23:34.232 --> 00:23:35.500
  • And the lord promote you so that you can remain.
  • 00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:39.004
  • Who am i talking to today?
  • 00:23:39.571 --> 00:23:41.339
  • And so what happens is one of the fruits of the spirit is patience.
  • 00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:45.811
  • Some of you want prophecy.
  • 00:23:46.378 --> 00:23:48.113
  • God give you the gift of prophecy.
  • 00:23:48.113 --> 00:23:50.048
  • He's like, i want to give you the fruit of patience.
  • 00:23:50.048 --> 00:23:54.619
  • What if i told you that the fruit of patience
  • 00:23:55.554 --> 00:23:57.622
  • Will make you more powerful than the gift of prophecy?
  • 00:23:57.622 --> 00:24:02.294
  • See, this is the.
  • 00:24:02.727 --> 00:24:03.628
  • Are you willing?
  • 00:24:03.628 --> 00:24:04.629
  • You want want to go deep with me?
  • 00:24:04.629 --> 00:24:06.832
  • Last and final point.
  • 00:24:06.832 --> 00:24:08.266
  • Being misunderstood is the mark of a true calling.
  • 00:24:08.266 --> 00:24:12.237
  • People regularly misunderstood joseph, but it was a long journey.
  • 00:24:13.538 --> 00:24:16.842
  • They regularly misunderstood moses.
  • 00:24:17.609 --> 00:24:18.844
  • But moses is a long journey.
  • 00:24:18.844 --> 00:24:21.379
  • They regularly misunderstood david.
  • 00:24:21.379 --> 00:24:23.582
  • But think about from the date,
  • 00:24:23.582 --> 00:24:25.083
  • The day that david was anointed to when he was appointed.
  • 00:24:25.083 --> 00:24:28.119
  • It's a long journey.
  • 00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:29.621
  • Think about elijah. i mean fighting jezebel.
  • 00:24:29.621 --> 00:24:33.091
  • Think about jesus.
  • 00:24:33.525 --> 00:24:34.626
  • It was a journey.
  • 00:24:34.626 --> 00:24:36.194
  • It was 30 years of preparation for three years of ministry.
  • 00:24:36.194 --> 00:24:39.531
  • But we want three years of preparation for 30 years to come on.
  • 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.169
  • So we got to say, jesus, make me more like you.
  • 00:24:45.103 --> 00:24:48.306
  • If i got to spend 30 years preparing.
  • 00:24:48.306 --> 00:24:50.075
  • But those three years were so fruitful that 2000 years later,
  • 00:24:50.075 --> 00:24:53.778
  • Not even the gates of hell in manhattan can prevail against the church.
  • 00:24:53.778 --> 00:24:58.350
  • You'd rather do three years in the perfect
  • 00:24:59.251 --> 00:25:01.152
  • Will of god than 30 years in the permissive will of god.
  • 00:25:01.152 --> 00:25:05.056
  • Well, talking to somebody, i feel the anointing on this message, y'all.
  • 00:25:06.491 --> 00:25:09.661
  • God did not call you to be missed, to be understood.
  • 00:25:10.695 --> 00:25:13.098
  • He called you to be obedient.
  • 00:25:13.732 --> 00:25:16.201
  • Stop trying to be understood.
  • 00:25:16.835 --> 00:25:17.769
  • Start trying to be obedient.
  • 00:25:17.769 --> 00:25:19.070
  • As a matter of fact,
  • 00:25:19.070 --> 00:25:21.273
  • The more obedient you are,
  • 00:25:21.273 --> 00:25:23.241
  • The less understood you'll be.
  • 00:25:23.241 --> 00:25:26.144
  • You know, in, in the in the biblical times, you go back to joshua.
  • 00:25:26.144 --> 00:25:31.383
  • They said, hey, let's put a stone here for remembrance.
  • 00:25:32.517 --> 00:25:34.452
  • And israel piled up all these huge stones.
  • 00:25:34.452 --> 00:25:36.721
  • And the reason why is because they said, the generations have a way of forgetting.
  • 00:25:36.721 --> 00:25:41.493
  • Forgetting who you are, forgetting where you come from,
  • 00:25:42.561 --> 00:25:45.564
  • Forgetting some of you in the service.
  • 00:25:46.398 --> 00:25:48.199
  • You were getting jolted with a reminder of who you are in the spirit.
  • 00:25:48.199 --> 00:25:50.602
  • But the thing was, when they
  • 00:25:51.202 --> 00:25:52.737
  • They said because the children would look at these stones
  • 00:25:52.737 --> 00:25:55.507
  • And the future generations say, why is that big, huge pile of rocks there?
  • 00:25:56.975 --> 00:25:59.778
  • That's not natural.
  • 00:25:59.778 --> 00:26:01.146
  • Why is that there?
  • 00:26:01.146 --> 00:26:02.347
  • And then the old timers would say, oh,
  • 00:26:02.347 --> 00:26:05.250
  • There was a great victory that we could not win on our home.
  • 00:26:05.250 --> 00:26:09.087
  • It was an impossible situation.
  • 00:26:09.721 --> 00:26:10.989
  • But the lord won a victory,
  • 00:26:10.989 --> 00:26:14.292
  • And those rocks were remembrance of what god did.
  • 00:26:15.226 --> 00:26:17.829
  • So every once in a while when i do these series,
  • 00:26:18.797 --> 00:26:21.399
  • I'm putting a stone for remembrance.
  • 00:26:22.167 --> 00:26:24.102
  • So that as all of you join the church and all of you come on.
  • 00:26:24.102 --> 00:26:27.539
  • And we had 13,000 people on the live stream, and 3 million people
  • 00:26:28.840 --> 00:26:31.109
  • Watch this message that there a reminder of we were in an impossible situation.
  • 00:26:31.109 --> 00:26:36.815
  • But god,
  • 00:26:37.082 --> 00:26:38.617
  • I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
  • 00:26:38.617 --> 00:26:42.187
  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:26:43.021 --> 00:26:44.656
  • We don't tell people what to give.
  • 00:26:44.656 --> 00:26:46.524
  • What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
  • 00:26:46.524 --> 00:26:50.996
  • That we do around the united states and around the world.
  • 00:26:50.996 --> 00:26:54.265
  • Whether it's distributing the gospel
  • 00:26:55.033 --> 00:26:56.601
  • In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
  • 00:26:56.601 --> 00:27:00.639
  • Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states,
  • 00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:05.477
  • Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
  • 00:27:06.611 --> 00:27:12.450
  • Your your.
  • 00:27:12.751 --> 00:27:12.751
