  • 00:31:11.383 --> 00:31:13.785
  • And present in our hearts and our spirit, his spirit in, our
  • 00:31:13.919 --> 00:31:17.589
  • Our spirit, his spirit in, our spirits then he calls us to a
  • 00:31:17.723 --> 00:31:18.524
  • Spirits then he calls us to a higher place you know he says
  • 00:31:18.657 --> 00:31:22.027
  • Higher place you know he says clearly in his word my ways are
  • 00:31:22.161 --> 00:31:24.296
  • Clearly in his word my ways are not your ways.
  • 00:31:24.429 --> 00:31:24.796
  • Not your ways. my thoughts are not your
  • 00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:25.464
  • My thoughts are not your thoughts.
  • 00:31:25.597 --> 00:31:25.831
  • Thoughts. they're higher than yours.
  • 00:31:25.964 --> 00:31:28.734

  • So if you're surrendered to jesus know we can use words
  • 00:31:29.701 --> 00:31:33.038
  • Jesus know we can use words that talk about loving god,
  • 00:31:33.172 --> 00:31:36.608
  • That talk about loving god, that talk about inviting jesus
  • 00:31:36.742 --> 00:31:37.342

  • But the question is are we surrendering our ways to his
  • 00:31:44.850 --> 00:31:45.417
  • Surrendering our ways to his ways?
  • 00:31:45.551 --> 00:31:45.717
