  • And now he has given us an assignment.
  • 00:00:01.064 --> 00:00:03.599
  • And that assignment is to spread the gospel all over the world.
  • 00:00:03.599 --> 00:00:08.137
  • So today we get to celebrate jesus.
  • 00:00:08.137 --> 00:00:11.374
  • God would rather you be real with him
  • 00:00:11.374 --> 00:00:14.477
  • And say you're struggling with your faith
  • 00:00:14.477 --> 00:00:16.412
  • Than to walk into church
  • 00:00:16.412 --> 00:00:17.513
  • Every sunday pretending you got it going on.
  • 00:00:17.513 --> 00:00:20.850
  • Because you can fool people.
  • 00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:22.185
  • You can't. fool god.
  • 00:00:22.185 --> 00:00:23.653
  • You can smile to people.
  • 00:00:23.653 --> 00:00:24.987
  • God sees brokenness on the inside.
  • 00:00:24.987 --> 00:00:26.556
  • He's telling you over and over again,
  • 00:00:26.556 --> 00:00:27.924
  • When are you going to run to me?
  • 00:00:27.924 --> 00:00:31.527
  • And the devil uses fear
  • 00:00:32.028 --> 00:00:34.197
  • And anxiety and something.
  • 00:00:34.197 --> 00:00:37.867
  • Let me just tell you what i'm here for.
  • 00:00:38.701 --> 00:00:40.069
  • I'm here to attack the anxiety that's attacking you. but
  • 00:00:40.069 --> 00:00:44.707
  • Because for a lot of us today, anxiety has become our god.
  • 00:00:44.707 --> 00:00:48.511
  • But we have made anxiety everything about our life.
  • 00:00:48.511 --> 00:00:51.914
  • You have planned your schedules
  • 00:00:51.914 --> 00:00:53.149
  • And your life around the anxiety and the attacks that you feel.
  • 00:00:53.149 --> 00:00:56.452
  • But i am telling you today, jesus can set you free.
  • 00:00:56.452 --> 00:00:59.122
  • You want to know why?
  • 00:00:59.122 --> 00:01:00.022
  • Because listen to the verse again.
  • 00:01:00.022 --> 00:01:01.691
  • God did not give us a spirit of fear but a power.
  • 00:01:01.691 --> 00:01:04.427
  • Not panic,
  • 00:01:04.427 --> 00:01:06.662
  • Not panic attacks, but a power
  • 00:01:06.662 --> 00:01:09.632
  • So that we could be self set free.
  • 00:01:09.632 --> 00:01:11.934
  • Power. love.
  • 00:01:11.934 --> 00:01:12.602
  • Listen to this self-discipline.
  • 00:01:12.602 --> 00:01:15.938
  • How many of you struggle with self-discipline?
  • 00:01:15.938 --> 00:01:18.608
  • Pastor, i said i was going on a diet
  • 00:01:18.608 --> 00:01:20.276
  • And i hate donuts at night.
  • 00:01:20.276 --> 00:01:21.410
  • Like i don't know what to do.
  • 00:01:21.410 --> 00:01:24.180
  • It's okay. donuts are holy.
  • 00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:25.381
  • I told you that this morning.
  • 00:01:25.381 --> 00:01:26.849
  • God showed some grace right there.
  • 00:01:26.849 --> 00:01:28.217
  • Right? right.
  • 00:01:28.217 --> 00:01:29.452
  • Listen, the holy spirit starts
  • 00:01:29.452 --> 00:01:31.220
  • To change your mind, and you start to see
  • 00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:34.223
  • Powerful revelations. okay?
  • 00:01:34.223 --> 00:01:35.558
  • If i go back to that, it's heartbreak again.
  • 00:01:35.558 --> 00:01:38.094
  • If i if i do this in my life, i go back to that addiction.
  • 00:01:39.262 --> 00:01:41.597
  • No, no, no, i've tasted what god has for me.
  • 00:01:41.597 --> 00:01:43.432
  • It's way better.
  • 00:01:43.432 --> 00:01:45.201
  • And let me tell you, if the devil gets your mind
  • 00:01:45.201 --> 00:01:46.869
  • Set at a point where you think the only way
  • 00:01:46.869 --> 00:01:48.838
  • For you to have fun is to live for the world and listen.
  • 00:01:48.838 --> 00:01:51.140
  • The devil has your mind
  • 00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:52.041
  • Right now, but we can set a free tonight.
  • 00:01:52.041 --> 00:01:55.211
  • We can set a free tonight.
  • 00:01:55.211 --> 00:02:00.249
  • I thought this was not weird,
  • 00:02:00.883 --> 00:02:02.919
  • But a little bit different for a message at a conference.
  • 00:02:02.919 --> 00:02:06.088
  • But i felt like the lord said, cast our spirits tonight. wow.
  • 00:02:06.088 --> 00:02:12.662
  • And i tell you what.
  • 00:02:13.129 --> 00:02:13.930
  • All the confirmations
  • 00:02:13.930 --> 00:02:15.898
  • That have come through your testimonies
  • 00:02:15.898 --> 00:02:17.400
  • Today, the things that i've heard,
  • 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.068
  • The things that have been said, i said,
  • 00:02:19.068 --> 00:02:20.436
  • Okay, god, this is your message.
  • 00:02:20.436 --> 00:02:22.238
  • I see the weight of your glory today.
  • 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.608
  • And so the title of tonight's
  • 00:02:25.608 --> 00:02:27.877
  • Message is, this freed me of my anxiety,
  • 00:02:27.877 --> 00:02:31.147
  • Free me of my anxiety.
  • 00:02:31.614 --> 00:02:34.951
  • And so let's go ahead and dive
  • 00:02:34.951 --> 00:02:36.152
  • Into point number one, which is this
  • 00:02:36.152 --> 00:02:38.254
  • When pride is the root anxiety, it's the fruit.
  • 00:02:38.254 --> 00:02:41.657
  • When pride is the root of your life, anxiety is the fruit.
  • 00:02:42.792 --> 00:02:47.830
  • And so our first wake up call
  • 00:02:47.830 --> 00:02:49.232
  • Is this anxiety often has a root in our life.
  • 00:02:49.232 --> 00:02:52.368
  • And it's pride. it's not listening to god.
  • 00:02:52.368 --> 00:02:55.204
  • When you feel like you're out of god's plan,
  • 00:02:55.204 --> 00:02:57.506
  • You start to have stress because you're no longer in control.
  • 00:02:57.506 --> 00:03:00.509
  • But newsflash, you never been in control.
  • 00:03:00.509 --> 00:03:03.846
  • It was always god's plan for you.
  • 00:03:03.846 --> 00:03:05.548
  • But somehow we moved out of it because of our feelings.
  • 00:03:05.548 --> 00:03:09.752
  • Feelings can lead you into the wrong direction
  • 00:03:09.752 --> 00:03:12.955
  • Lovingly.
  • 00:03:13.256 --> 00:03:14.123
  • Your feelings can lead you to hell.
  • 00:03:14.123 --> 00:03:16.225
  • Yeah.
  • 00:03:16.225 --> 00:03:17.793
  • It. we need the holy spirit.
  • 00:03:17.793 --> 00:03:20.496
  • The holy spirit would check your feelings.
  • 00:03:20.496 --> 00:03:22.798
  • You ever been mad at somebody?
  • 00:03:22.798 --> 00:03:24.033
  • You want to call them some names and post some things?
  • 00:03:24.033 --> 00:03:26.402
  • And then you look at that one verse and like, come on, god,
  • 00:03:26.402 --> 00:03:29.872
  • I come on, you gotta give me that first.
  • 00:03:29.872 --> 00:03:31.774
  • Like that first.
  • 00:03:31.774 --> 00:03:32.642
  • Love my neighbor as myself.
  • 00:03:32.642 --> 00:03:34.410
  • Like that verse. yeah.
  • 00:03:34.410 --> 00:03:37.313
  • Because the holy spirit is telling you
  • 00:03:37.313 --> 00:03:38.614
  • To put your emotions into check your emotions.
  • 00:03:38.614 --> 00:03:41.851
  • So run your life now.
  • 00:03:41.851 --> 00:03:43.653
  • God is allowing you to feel that's a good thing,
  • 00:03:43.653 --> 00:03:46.389
  • But he's allowing you to feel
  • 00:03:46.389 --> 00:03:47.523
  • His holy presence and walk in obedience.
  • 00:03:47.523 --> 00:03:49.925
  • That's how you see his glory in your life.
  • 00:03:49.925 --> 00:03:52.762
  • But i want to ask you, like, do you have
  • 00:03:52.762 --> 00:03:54.330
  • A root of pride in your life?
  • 00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:55.731
  • You know what's funny about the question?
  • 00:03:56.565 --> 00:03:58.501
  • Most of us are not going to raise our hand.
  • 00:03:58.501 --> 00:04:01.370
  • Most of us would never admit that we have pride
  • 00:04:01.370 --> 00:04:03.139
  • In our life. why? because some of you are.
  • 00:04:03.139 --> 00:04:05.975
  • But listen to this.
  • 00:04:05.975 --> 00:04:07.143
  • A lot of times when we hear pride, what are we doing?
  • 00:04:07.143 --> 00:04:08.778
  • Oh yeah.
  • 00:04:08.778 --> 00:04:09.578
  • Yeah, we need that message tonight
  • 00:04:09.578 --> 00:04:10.813
  • Because my my friend over here.
  • 00:04:10.813 --> 00:04:13.115
  • Got a lot of pride.
  • 00:04:13.115 --> 00:04:14.116
  • No, i'm speaking to you.
  • 00:04:14.116 --> 00:04:16.285
  • I'm speaking to you tonight.
  • 00:04:16.285 --> 00:04:17.820
  • Maybe there's a root of pride on the inside.
  • 00:04:17.820 --> 00:04:20.323
  • And that's where your anxiety comes.
  • 00:04:20.323 --> 00:04:22.692
  • Because in this story, i'm going.
  • 00:04:22.692 --> 00:04:24.093
  • To show you there's some pride.
  • 00:04:24.093 --> 00:04:26.529
  • Where? right.
  • 00:04:26.529 --> 00:04:27.563
  • We're about to get there.
  • 00:04:27.563 --> 00:04:28.464
  • All right, let's examine the story.
  • 00:04:28.464 --> 00:04:31.133
  • Jesus comes back
  • 00:04:31.133 --> 00:04:32.401
  • With the three disciples to see the other nine.
  • 00:04:32.401 --> 00:04:34.537
  • And there's a lot of stress and fear happening in the story.
  • 00:04:34.537 --> 00:04:37.973
  • And the nine disciples have been left
  • 00:04:37.973 --> 00:04:39.608
  • To take care of the ministry while jesus and the others away.
  • 00:04:39.608 --> 00:04:43.279
  • And so i think it's kind of funny
  • 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.347
  • Because they're probably
  • 00:04:44.347 --> 00:04:45.281
  • Thinking to themselves, like, go figure,
  • 00:04:45.281 --> 00:04:47.350
  • That jesus leaves us in charge
  • 00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:49.051
  • And now we see a possessed boy, like,
  • 00:04:49.051 --> 00:04:50.953
  • What are we supposed to do with this?
  • 00:04:50.953 --> 00:04:52.788
  • Like, couldn't it just been a better day?
  • 00:04:52.788 --> 00:04:54.123
  • Like somebody kind of hurt their foot?
  • 00:04:54.123 --> 00:04:55.358
  • We just say a little prayer, go get a meal.
  • 00:04:55.358 --> 00:04:57.827
  • We love to eat together,
  • 00:04:57.827 --> 00:04:58.861
  • You know, like, why can't we do that? god?
  • 00:04:58.861 --> 00:05:01.063
  • And instead of, please listen to this,
  • 00:05:01.063 --> 00:05:02.765
  • Instead of seeing deliverance
  • 00:05:02.765 --> 00:05:04.233
  • In the ministry, they came back to arguing.
  • 00:05:04.233 --> 00:05:06.535
  • They came back to just confrontation.
  • 00:05:07.370 --> 00:05:09.672
  • They came back to a lot of opinions
  • 00:05:09.672 --> 00:05:11.474
  • From other people, a lot of suggestions
  • 00:05:11.474 --> 00:05:13.509
  • From other people.
  • 00:05:13.509 --> 00:05:14.410
  • Instead of deliverance,
  • 00:05:14.410 --> 00:05:17.780
  • There's arguing
  • 00:05:17.780 --> 00:05:19.982
  • And nothing is getting done.
  • 00:05:19.982 --> 00:05:21.684
  • And the father is looking around who will help me?
  • 00:05:21.684 --> 00:05:26.021
  • I came to you.
  • 00:05:26.355 --> 00:05:28.023
  • You're fighting each other.
  • 00:05:28.023 --> 00:05:29.625
  • My boy is suffering.
  • 00:05:29.625 --> 00:05:33.662
  • And you want to have confrontation with each other
  • 00:05:33.662 --> 00:05:36.665
  • Because of your opinions and your feelings.
  • 00:05:36.665 --> 00:05:40.403
  • And the poor father of this boy begs for help.
  • 00:05:40.403 --> 00:05:44.673
  • And everybody was arguing. let me show you the verse again.
  • 00:05:44.673 --> 00:05:46.642
  • Mark. mark chapter nine, verse 14.
  • 00:05:46.642 --> 00:05:48.711
  • When they returned to the other disciples,
  • 00:05:48.711 --> 00:05:50.379
  • They saw a large crowd surrounding them,
  • 00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:52.748
  • And some teachers of religious law were arguing with them.
  • 00:05:52.748 --> 00:05:56.652
  • Okay, so imagine the nine disciples.
  • 00:05:56.652 --> 00:05:59.121
  • Okay, jesus came down.
  • 00:05:59.121 --> 00:06:00.456
  • We've been arguing that boy is still suffering,
  • 00:06:00.456 --> 00:06:03.592
  • And jesus wants to hear what's happening.
  • 00:06:03.592 --> 00:06:05.694
  • Now imagine jesus hearing this in front of them.
  • 00:06:05.694 --> 00:06:07.797
  • Verses 15 to 17 again
  • 00:06:07.797 --> 00:06:09.598
  • The father said, lord, have mercy on my son.
  • 00:06:09.598 --> 00:06:11.700
  • He has seizures and suffers terribly.
  • 00:06:11.700 --> 00:06:13.936
  • He often falls into the.
  • 00:06:13.936 --> 00:06:15.237
  • Fire or into the water.
  • 00:06:15.237 --> 00:06:16.906
  • So i brought him to your discipl
  • 00:06:16.906 --> 00:06:20.876
  • I would think, okay, jesus, i'm going to go get some food.
  • 00:06:22.011 --> 00:06:24.947
  • Do you want me to go get some food?
  • 00:06:24.947 --> 00:06:26.382
  • You want to talk about this?
  • 00:06:26.382 --> 00:06:28.217
  • Because i would be embarrassed.
  • 00:06:28.217 --> 00:06:31.353
  • Jesus already gave them authority to cast out demons.
  • 00:06:31.353 --> 00:06:34.790
  • There's something going on there.
  • 00:06:35.491 --> 00:06:38.227
  • There's a root to something.
  • 00:06:38.227 --> 00:06:39.428
  • There's something deeper.
  • 00:06:39.428 --> 00:06:40.563
  • I want us to see it here tonight. okay?
  • 00:06:40.563 --> 00:06:42.097
  • So let's pay attention
  • 00:06:42.097 --> 00:06:43.966
  • To what jesus actually says, because it looks like jesus.
  • 00:06:43.966 --> 00:06:47.837
  • It's just almost condemning them. can i bringing them down.
  • 00:06:47.837 --> 00:06:50.239
  • He's not doing that.
  • 00:06:50.239 --> 00:06:51.273
  • He's actually allowing.
  • 00:06:51.273 --> 00:06:52.708
  • Them to see the root problem of everyone's.
  • 00:06:52.708 --> 00:06:56.111
  • Anxiety in this story.
  • 00:06:56.111 --> 00:06:58.581
  • So let's look at the book of matthew. okay.
  • 00:06:58.581 --> 00:06:59.882
  • I'm gonna show you a few different gospels here.
  • 00:06:59.882 --> 00:07:01.851
  • Book of matthew chapter 17, verse 17.
  • 00:07:01.851 --> 00:07:04.420
  • You can just look on the screen. don't have to turn there.
  • 00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:06.121
  • Right? jesus said.
  • 00:07:06.121 --> 00:07:07.857
  • And this right here, you faithless,
  • 00:07:07.857 --> 00:07:10.793
  • You faithless and corrupt people.
  • 00:07:10.793 --> 00:07:13.262
  • How long must i put up with you?
  • 00:07:13.262 --> 00:07:16.432
  • I there's something big here.
  • 00:07:16.432 --> 00:07:17.700
  • All right, let me go back to mark.
  • 00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:19.702
  • Chapter nine should already be there.
  • 00:07:19.702 --> 00:07:21.670
  • Mark chapter nine, verse 19.
  • 00:07:22.271 --> 00:07:23.539
  • Jesus said to them again, okay, same.
  • 00:07:23.539 --> 00:07:25.975
  • Same already, you faithless people,
  • 00:07:25.975 --> 00:07:29.512
  • Faithless, one more time.
  • 00:07:29.512 --> 00:07:31.213
  • Did you know the stories in luke chapter nine,
  • 00:07:31.213 --> 00:07:33.782
  • Going to luke chapter nine, verse 41, jesus said
  • 00:07:33.782 --> 00:07:36.385
  • The same thing you faithless and corrupt people.
  • 00:07:36.385 --> 00:07:40.789
  • And so i looked at that, and i'm looking at the wording here,
  • 00:07:41.957 --> 00:07:45.794
  • Okay?
  • 00:07:46.028 --> 00:07:46.729
  • Because it only seems confusing.
  • 00:07:46.729 --> 00:07:48.898
  • All the gospels say the same thing, you faithless
  • 00:07:48.898 --> 00:07:52.134
  • People, you faithless.
  • 00:07:52.134 --> 00:07:53.602
  • And some of your translations say unbelieving people
  • 00:07:53.602 --> 00:07:56.472
  • You have not believed.
  • 00:07:56.472 --> 00:07:57.706
  • But then.
  • 00:07:57.706 --> 00:07:58.641
  • But then, if we go to matthew chapter 17.
  • 00:07:58.641 --> 00:08:01.677
  • Verses 19 through 20, it says.
  • 00:08:02.278 --> 00:08:04.980
  • Afterward the disciples asked jesus privately, why couldn't
  • 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:09.885
  • We cast out that demon?
  • 00:08:10.386 --> 00:08:13.556
  • And in this text says, you don't have enough faith.
  • 00:08:14.557 --> 00:08:19.161
  • You don't have enough faith.
  • 00:08:19.762 --> 00:08:22.932
  • But listen to what jesus says.
  • 00:08:22.932 --> 00:08:23.933
  • But i tell you the truth,
  • 00:08:23.933 --> 00:08:25.034
  • If you had the faith even as small as a mustard seed,
  • 00:08:25.034 --> 00:08:28.637
  • Which is so small,
  • 00:08:29.071 --> 00:08:30.940
  • You could say to this mountain, move from here to there,
  • 00:08:30.940 --> 00:08:34.076
  • And it would move, nothing would be impossible for you.
  • 00:08:34.076 --> 00:08:37.913
  • I used to struggle with this verse
  • 00:08:37.913 --> 00:08:41.016
  • Because i would ask god then
  • 00:08:41.617 --> 00:08:42.851
  • How much like, how much faith do i need?
  • 00:08:42.851 --> 00:08:46.755
  • How much faith are you telling me to have like you.
  • 00:08:46.755 --> 00:08:48.724
  • As my faith? too little.
  • 00:08:48.724 --> 00:08:50.225
  • But you say at the same time,
  • 00:08:50.225 --> 00:08:51.961
  • The faith the size of a mustard seed can move this mountain.
  • 00:08:51.961 --> 00:08:55.097
  • God, i don't understand
  • 00:08:55.097 --> 00:08:56.432
  • And i realize there is something deeper here.
  • 00:08:56.432 --> 00:08:59.335
  • The reason it is confusing.
  • 00:08:59.335 --> 00:09:01.637
  • Is because there is a translation issue.
  • 00:09:01.637 --> 00:09:04.506
  • I want to show you this.
  • 00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:05.808
  • This is really cool. all right.
  • 00:09:05.808 --> 00:09:08.243
  • This is a translation issue at play here.
  • 00:09:08.243 --> 00:09:11.246
  • How do i know this?
  • 00:09:11.246 --> 00:09:12.448
  • Because the greek word used in matthew chapter 17 verse 20,
  • 00:09:12.448 --> 00:09:16.318
  • Which says you don't have enough faith.
  • 00:09:16.318 --> 00:09:17.886
  • Sometimes it says you have
  • 00:09:17.886 --> 00:09:19.121
  • Too little of faith or just have little faith
  • 00:09:19.121 --> 00:09:21.223
  • Is actually the greek word a psa,
  • 00:09:21.223 --> 00:09:24.226
  • Which actually means not little faith.
  • 00:09:24.226 --> 00:09:27.963
  • Like a lot of translations state.
  • 00:09:27.963 --> 00:09:29.932
  • Okay, but it actually means it's no faith at all.
  • 00:09:29.932 --> 00:09:34.903
  • Not believing.
  • 00:09:35.237 --> 00:09:36.905
  • Completely unbelieving, not submitting it over to god,
  • 00:09:36.905 --> 00:09:41.110
  • Being faithful.
  • 00:09:41.110 --> 00:09:44.179
  • Why are you prideful?
  • 00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:45.547
  • Because you're telling.
  • 00:09:45.547 --> 00:09:46.515
  • God, i'm not even going to try.
  • 00:09:46.515 --> 00:09:49.852
  • I'm not even going to try to listen.
  • 00:09:49.852 --> 00:09:52.021
  • This situation is impossible.
  • 00:09:52.021 --> 00:09:54.356
  • It would be dumb for me to try something different in this.
  • 00:09:54.356 --> 00:09:57.626
  • In my environment, i can't handle it.
  • 00:09:57.626 --> 00:09:59.461
  • And what happens?
  • 00:09:59.461 --> 00:10:00.429
  • Anxiety starts to attack
  • 00:10:00.429 --> 00:10:02.665
  • Because of this pride of route when you do not listen to god.
  • 00:10:02.665 --> 00:10:07.236
  • It wasn't little faith because jesus said,
  • 00:10:08.103 --> 00:10:10.673
  • The faith the size of a mustard seed can move these mountains.
  • 00:10:10.673 --> 00:10:14.376
  • And when he said mountains, he's
  • 00:10:14.376 --> 00:10:15.978
  • Talking about spiritual warfare, by the way,
  • 00:10:15.978 --> 00:10:19.548
  • Because it completes the story
  • 00:10:20.149 --> 00:10:22.484
  • After the demonic attack, jesus is telling them
  • 00:10:22.484 --> 00:10:25.020
  • If you prepare and have just even a little bit of faith.
  • 00:10:25.020 --> 00:10:29.892
  • You win the battle of spiritual
  • 00:10:30.526 --> 00:10:32.227
  • Warfare over your life.
  • 00:10:32.227 --> 00:10:35.597
  • Do you get that?
  • 00:10:35.597 --> 00:10:37.366
  • Do you see what i'm saying?
  • 00:10:37.366 --> 00:10:38.233
  • Like, if you just have a little bit
  • 00:10:38.233 --> 00:10:39.468
  • Of faith the size of a mustard seed, you see addiction gone.
  • 00:10:39.468 --> 00:10:42.838
  • We have the faith, the size of.
  • 00:10:43.472 --> 00:10:45.107
  • A mustard seed.
  • 00:10:45.107 --> 00:10:46.375
  • You see relationships restored.
  • 00:10:46.375 --> 00:10:48.410
  • You see your family restored.
  • 00:10:48.410 --> 00:10:50.212
  • You see healing in your life, healing over your heart.
  • 00:10:50.212 --> 00:10:53.115
  • You can let go of hate
  • 00:10:53.115 --> 00:10:55.050
  • From somebody who hurt you a very long time ago.
  • 00:10:56.018 --> 00:10:58.554
  • And you said, god, i don't know if i believe it,
  • 00:10:58.554 --> 00:11:00.622
  • Believe it, because that's part.
  • 00:11:00.622 --> 00:11:06.161
  • It's actually arrogant.
  • 00:11:06.662 --> 00:11:10.432
  • And that's heavy.
  • 00:11:10.866 --> 00:11:12.167
  • But it's arrogant to say, god, you can't do.
  • 00:11:12.167 --> 00:11:15.938
  • Now, we don't always know god's plan.
  • 00:11:16.772 --> 00:11:20.042
  • We just have to trust. so.
  • 00:11:20.042 --> 00:11:22.611
  • But let me be very clear.
  • 00:11:22.611 --> 00:11:23.746
  • Here at authentic church, we believe
  • 00:11:23.746 --> 00:11:25.047
  • God can do anything he wants to do.
  • 00:11:25.047 --> 00:11:28.450
  • He can do anything he wants to do.
  • 00:11:29.184 --> 00:11:32.154
  • He can free you right now.
  • 00:11:32.154 --> 00:11:34.089
  • There's nothing holding him back.
  • 00:11:34.089 --> 00:11:36.358
  • He can meet you right here. okay?
  • 00:11:36.358 --> 00:11:39.128
  • But i'm seeing this in the faith.
  • 00:11:39.128 --> 00:11:40.629
  • The size of the mustard seed.
  • 00:11:40.629 --> 00:11:42.197
  • Meaning the issue again, was after
  • 00:11:42.197 --> 00:11:44.399
  • Their faith was too small, they weren't relying on god.
  • 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:48.737
  • And as i'm writing this message, i felt from the lord,
  • 00:11:48.737 --> 00:11:51.406
  • My people are relying on me anymore.
  • 00:11:51.406 --> 00:11:54.343
  • They're not seeking me.
  • 00:11:54.843 --> 00:11:56.845
  • They seek google and chat more than they seek me.
  • 00:11:56.845 --> 00:11:59.882
  • They don't want to be in my presence.
  • 00:12:00.682 --> 00:12:02.084
  • They want to be in the presence of other people.
  • 00:12:02.084 --> 00:12:04.453
  • They want to get likes and comments and shares
  • 00:12:04.453 --> 00:12:07.055
  • And the same people that love you today may hate you tomorrow.
  • 00:12:07.055 --> 00:12:10.926
  • People in your life, they said they would be there
  • 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:13.729
  • Forever.
  • 00:12:13.729 --> 00:12:16.932
  • May never step
  • 00:12:16.932 --> 00:12:17.633
  • Into the promised land with you.
  • 00:12:17.633 --> 00:12:21.003
  • I do want to encourage you.
  • 00:12:21.003 --> 00:12:21.970
  • If that's you today and you are moving by
  • 00:12:21.970 --> 00:12:23.472
  • Faith, listen, that is completely normal.
  • 00:12:23.472 --> 00:12:25.374
  • By the way,
  • 00:12:25.374 --> 00:12:27.442
  • When you look at joshua, we look at caleb.
  • 00:12:27.442 --> 00:12:30.846
  • When you look at moses, a lot of the israelites
  • 00:12:30.846 --> 00:12:32.815
  • Who didn't believe they never stepped into the promised land.
  • 00:12:32.815 --> 00:12:34.683
  • They were in the beginning, but they didn't
  • 00:12:34.683 --> 00:12:36.051
  • Step into the promised land. but joshua and caleb did. why?
  • 00:12:36.051 --> 00:12:38.720
  • Because they spoke by faith from the very beginning.
  • 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.758
  • I believe.
  • 00:12:43.058 --> 00:12:45.761
  • I just see faith.
  • 00:12:45.761 --> 00:12:48.463
  • Everybody else is telling the no, no, no, no, the giants.
  • 00:12:48.463 --> 00:12:51.066
  • Are too big.
  • 00:12:51.066 --> 00:12:51.967
  • But have you.
  • 00:12:51.967 --> 00:12:52.601
  • Seen the sight of my god?
  • 00:12:52.601 --> 00:12:55.437
  • I've seen what my lord can do.
  • 00:12:55.437 --> 00:12:57.506
  • My god would destroy these giants.
  • 00:12:57.506 --> 00:13:02.311
  • What would happen in your life if you had faith like that?
  • 00:13:03.445 --> 00:13:07.416
  • When's the last time you spoke that hope for your.
  • 00:13:07.416 --> 00:13:10.385
  • Family over your life right?
  • 00:13:10.385 --> 00:13:13.222
  • When's the last time you believed?
  • 00:13:13.222 --> 00:13:15.290
  • When?
  • 00:13:15.290 --> 00:13:17.426
  • But also, i want to be clear because some of you may
  • 00:13:17.426 --> 00:13:19.428
  • Be saying, but pastor, i have believed.
  • 00:13:19.428 --> 00:13:22.564
  • I have prayed over and over and over again,
  • 00:13:23.465 --> 00:13:26.201
  • And i still have not seen the healing i want.
  • 00:13:26.201 --> 00:13:29.905
  • I still have not seen the miracle in my life.
  • 00:13:29.905 --> 00:13:32.808
  • So i do want to say this lovingly
  • 00:13:32.808 --> 00:13:35.644
  • God's plan is bigger than ours.
  • 00:13:36.278 --> 00:13:37.713
  • Okay,
  • 00:13:37.713 --> 00:13:39.581
  • But you're not wrong.
  • 00:13:39.581 --> 00:13:41.683
  • You're not wrong.
  • 00:13:41.683 --> 00:13:42.484
  • If you say that
  • 00:13:42.484 --> 00:13:43.552
  • You live by faith and you actually live it out,
  • 00:13:43.552 --> 00:13:45.053
  • And you still don't see the miracle, but
  • 00:13:45.053 --> 00:13:47.623
  • The deep biblical truth that we need to understand
  • 00:13:47.623 --> 00:13:49.625
  • Is this faith is not a button you push to get what you want.
  • 00:13:49.625 --> 00:13:54.496
  • Very good.
  • 00:13:54.796 --> 00:13:57.132
  • And a lot of us have come to church
  • 00:13:57.132 --> 00:13:58.800
  • For that very reason.
  • 00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:02.137
  • God, i came here with faith to believe
  • 00:14:02.137 --> 00:14:04.106
  • That you would give me the relationship.
  • 00:14:04.106 --> 00:14:06.875
  • God, i came here with faith to believe
  • 00:14:06.875 --> 00:14:08.644
  • That you would give me the job.
  • 00:14:08.644 --> 00:14:09.912
  • I came here
  • 00:14:09.912 --> 00:14:11.013
  • With faith to believe even when it's a good thing.
  • 00:14:11.013 --> 00:14:12.581
  • God, i believe that you would bring healing.
  • 00:14:12.581 --> 00:14:15.517
  • And i get it. it's painful.
  • 00:14:15.517 --> 00:14:17.519
  • Some of you are lonely.
  • 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.054
  • Some of you are hurting.
  • 00:14:19.054 --> 00:14:20.422
  • Some of you are asking god, how long is it going to be?
  • 00:14:20.422 --> 00:14:24.593
  • But i need you to understand.
  • 00:14:24.593 --> 00:14:25.928
  • The definition of faith is actually to connect us
  • 00:14:25.928 --> 00:14:29.164
  • To god, to connect our hearts with the heart of god.
  • 00:14:29.164 --> 00:14:32.267
  • God, i trust you.
  • 00:14:32.267 --> 00:14:35.737
  • I trust you.
  • 00:14:36.071 --> 00:14:39.341
  • Meshach and abednego
  • 00:14:39.341 --> 00:14:42.210
  • Facing king nebuchadnezzar.
  • 00:14:42.210 --> 00:14:45.380
  • They won't.
  • 00:14:45.380 --> 00:14:46.348
  • They won't bow down to the statue, to the idol.
  • 00:14:46.348 --> 00:14:50.018
  • Nebuchadnezzar says, do you realize the power that i have?
  • 00:14:50.018 --> 00:14:53.522
  • I'll throw you into the fire.
  • 00:14:53.522 --> 00:14:56.191
  • It's going to kill you.
  • 00:14:56.191 --> 00:14:57.326
  • It's going to be so hot, you're going to be tortured.
  • 00:14:57.326 --> 00:14:59.461
  • It's not going to be good for you.
  • 00:14:59.461 --> 00:15:01.096
  • And you know what they said?
  • 00:15:01.096 --> 00:15:01.997
  • He said, listen, my god can save me, but
  • 00:15:01.997 --> 00:15:05.600
  • I will not bow to you because i bow
  • 00:15:06.401 --> 00:15:08.503
  • To the one true king, the one true king who meets me.
  • 00:15:08.503 --> 00:15:11.740
  • I know the power. of my god.
  • 00:15:11.740 --> 00:15:13.709
  • I will not. bow down to this idol.
  • 00:15:13.709 --> 00:15:15.644
  • It is against my lord.
  • 00:15:15.644 --> 00:15:17.145
  • My god can save me.
  • 00:15:17.145 --> 00:15:18.880
  • But they did it up there because that's what a lot of us like.
  • 00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:22.584
  • They didn't stop there.
  • 00:15:22.584 --> 00:15:23.552
  • They kept going.
  • 00:15:23.552 --> 00:15:24.419
  • But they said even if he does it.
  • 00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:27.789
  • Yes. even if he does it, he's still my god.
  • 00:15:28.657 --> 00:15:33.261
  • It's good.
  • 00:15:33.562 --> 00:15:34.262
  • And i trust his plan.
  • 00:15:34.262 --> 00:15:37.332
  • The fire.
  • 00:15:37.332 --> 00:15:40.369
  • Jesus.
  • 00:15:40.369 --> 00:15:42.804
  • Jesus said in luke chapter 22, verse 40 to 42,
  • 00:15:42.804 --> 00:15:45.674
  • Listen to this moment.
  • 00:15:45.674 --> 00:15:47.075
  • Jesus said, father, willing,
  • 00:15:47.075 --> 00:15:49.644
  • Please take this cup of suffering away from me.
  • 00:15:49.644 --> 00:15:53.582
  • Son of god.
  • 00:15:53.915 --> 00:15:57.619
  • For safe, god prayed that prayer,
  • 00:15:57.619 --> 00:16:01.023
  • Prayed, and then
  • 00:16:01.023 --> 00:16:03.492
  • He said, yet i want you fill to be done
  • 00:16:03.492 --> 00:16:07.262
  • That mine.
  • 00:16:07.262 --> 00:16:10.298
  • He humbled himself to.
  • 00:16:10.298 --> 00:16:12.367
  • Feel what we feel.
  • 00:16:12.367 --> 00:16:14.703
  • What i love about this text, it reminds us
  • 00:16:14.703 --> 00:16:17.205
  • That he's not a distant god
  • 00:16:17.205 --> 00:16:19.674
  • That doesn't know the pain that you're going through.
  • 00:16:19.674 --> 00:16:21.877
  • He understands it.
  • 00:16:21.877 --> 00:16:23.745
  • The heavenly father knows what it's like to lose a son
  • 00:16:23.745 --> 00:16:27.482
  • In a brutal way.
  • 00:16:27.482 --> 00:16:31.119
  • To plead
  • 00:16:31.386 --> 00:16:33.789
  • To fight temptation.
  • 00:16:33.789 --> 00:16:36.691
  • Yet jesus knew no sin.
  • 00:16:36.691 --> 00:16:39.528
  • And he showed us that there
  • 00:16:40.128 --> 00:16:41.063
  • Is always a way in his name.
  • 00:16:41.063 --> 00:16:44.766
  • Is. and so,
  • 00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:48.637
  • As the question, you know, what was it?
  • 00:16:48.637 --> 00:16:52.441
  • Listen, this is what we can do.
  • 00:16:52.441 --> 00:16:53.975
  • Jesus also revealed something else
  • 00:16:53.975 --> 00:16:55.477
  • In mark chapter nine, verse 29.
  • 00:16:55.477 --> 00:16:57.679
  • It's a new living translation, but it states, says jesus
  • 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.148
  • Replied, this kind of demon can only be cast out by what
  • 00:17:00.148 --> 00:17:04.019
  • This this kind of demon can only be cast out by what
  • 00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:07.489
  • Look at somebody next to would say by prayer.
  • 00:17:07.489 --> 00:17:09.157
  • Demons can be cast out.
  • 00:17:09.157 --> 00:17:11.159
  • All right.
  • 00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:11.993
  • Why aren't you praying over your home?
  • 00:17:11.993 --> 00:17:14.496
  • A lot of torment is happening in your house right now.
  • 00:17:15.597 --> 00:17:17.666
  • Why aren't you praying over your home now?
  • 00:17:17.666 --> 00:17:19.968
  • Some translations also say fasting.
  • 00:17:19.968 --> 00:17:22.237
  • And again, we talked about fasting today.
  • 00:17:22.237 --> 00:17:23.972
  • Okay.
  • 00:17:23.972 --> 00:17:24.873
  • You may fast in a season. why?
  • 00:17:24.873 --> 00:17:26.808
  • Because god told you to do it.
  • 00:17:26.808 --> 00:17:28.743
  • But listen, let that be between you and god.
  • 00:17:28.743 --> 00:17:31.213
  • Don't let it be a show.
  • 00:17:31.213 --> 00:17:33.081
  • Don't tell people i holy you are.
  • 00:17:33.081 --> 00:17:34.416
  • You just lost it all.
  • 00:17:34.416 --> 00:17:35.817
  • That's not the reason you fast.
  • 00:17:36.451 --> 00:17:37.886
  • Very good.
  • 00:17:37.886 --> 00:17:38.753
  • You do it for the lord, between him and
  • 00:17:38.753 --> 00:17:40.322
  • And between you and god.
  • 00:17:40.322 --> 00:17:41.756
  • And listen, it's really hard sometimes to get a smile
  • 00:17:41.756 --> 00:17:43.825
  • At people when you're hungry.
  • 00:17:43.825 --> 00:17:45.427
  • You're hungry?
  • 00:17:45.427 --> 00:17:46.428
  • Yeah, and i had caffeine in a week or.
  • 00:17:46.428 --> 00:17:47.963
  • God, i can't do this anymore.
  • 00:17:47.963 --> 00:17:51.867
  • But you realize you can overcome your flesh
  • 00:17:51.867 --> 00:17:53.635
  • If you give it to god at prayer.
  • 00:17:53.635 --> 00:17:57.205
  • And i thought maybe they didn't pray.
  • 00:17:58.006 --> 00:18:01.643
  • The bible doesn't say they tried to pray,
  • 00:18:01.643 --> 00:18:04.079
  • And maybe they didn't pray. why?
  • 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.514
  • Because maybe listening to this,
  • 00:18:05.514 --> 00:18:07.282
  • Just maybe they thought because they were with jesus,
  • 00:18:07.282 --> 00:18:10.418
  • They had a position by themselves
  • 00:18:10.418 --> 00:18:12.521
  • To cast out this demon,
  • 00:18:12.521 --> 00:18:15.390
  • But they actually never gave it over to god.
  • 00:18:15.390 --> 00:18:17.592
  • Maybe they thought in their mind they had a title
  • 00:18:17.592 --> 00:18:20.996
  • And their title. would bring deliverance.
  • 00:18:20.996 --> 00:18:23.131
  • But your title and your position and your money
  • 00:18:23.131 --> 00:18:26.034
  • And the things that you have will not bring freedom.
  • 00:18:26.034 --> 00:18:28.770
  • It's only by praying to jesus.
  • 00:18:28.770 --> 00:18:31.907
  • It's only by giving it to him completely.
  • 00:18:31.907 --> 00:18:34.743
  • But here's what i need you to understand.
  • 00:18:35.577 --> 00:18:37.445
  • Not praying is pride and disguise.
  • 00:18:37.445 --> 00:18:40.715
  • And that's why anxiety and fear is all over you.
  • 00:18:41.683 --> 00:18:46.321
  • Consuming your mind because you have it.
  • 00:18:46.321 --> 00:18:49.291
  • Giving it over to the lord.
  • 00:18:49.291 --> 00:18:52.694
  • Who it's yeah,
  • 00:18:53.028 --> 00:18:55.463
  • It's god healing you tonight.
  • 00:18:55.463 --> 00:18:57.732
  • God healing you.
  • 00:18:57.732 --> 00:19:00.035
  • Come on.
  • 00:19:00.035 --> 00:19:02.737
  • My last point is this
  • 00:19:02.737 --> 00:19:05.106
  • Point me to cast your anxieties on.
  • 00:19:05.106 --> 00:19:08.076
  • Have.
  • 00:19:08.076 --> 00:19:11.746
  • Jesus said you could do that.
  • 00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:15.717
  • Why are you holding on to.
  • 00:19:16.284 --> 00:19:19.688
  • Well, that's my situation,
  • 00:19:19.688 --> 00:19:22.991
  • That i'm hurt.
  • 00:19:22.991 --> 00:19:24.159
  • And listen, i get that
  • 00:19:24.159 --> 00:19:27.495
  • I've been through it.
  • 00:19:27.495 --> 00:19:28.730
  • But jesus still said, listen, you can cast you in the 80s.
  • 00:19:28.730 --> 00:19:33.868
  • Your stress, your pain, everything that you're
  • 00:19:33.868 --> 00:19:37.305
  • Dealing with on him because he can handle it.
  • 00:19:37.305 --> 00:19:41.977
  • And so this is a special moment in the story.
  • 00:19:42.911 --> 00:19:44.713
  • The father of the son does something no one else does.
  • 00:19:44.713 --> 00:19:47.082
  • And again, what does he do?
  • 00:19:47.082 --> 00:19:48.550
  • Mark chapter nine, verse 22 to 24.
  • 00:19:48.550 --> 00:19:51.486
  • The spirit often throws him into the fire
  • 00:19:51.486 --> 00:19:53.321
  • And water, trying to kill my son.
  • 00:19:53.321 --> 00:19:54.990
  • Have mercy on. us and help us.
  • 00:19:54.990 --> 00:19:57.993
  • He's saying this while everybody else. is arguing.
  • 00:19:57.993 --> 00:20:00.629
  • Have mercy on us, have come help us and if you can.
  • 00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:04.899
  • And jesus said, what do you mean, if i can?
  • 00:20:04.899 --> 00:20:07.402
  • Anything is possible if a person believes.
  • 00:20:07.402 --> 00:20:09.137
  • And then the father did what he internally
  • 00:20:09.137 --> 00:20:10.639
  • Cried out, i do believe, help me overcome my unbelief.
  • 00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:14.476
  • He is the only one broken enough, broken
  • 00:20:14.476 --> 00:20:17.445
  • Enough to be real with god.
  • 00:20:17.445 --> 00:20:20.649
  • Wow, that's
  • 00:20:20.982 --> 00:20:22.417
  • How you see healing in your life.
  • 00:20:22.417 --> 00:20:25.887
  • Okay, let me show you like one more cool thing here.
  • 00:20:25.887 --> 00:20:30.659
  • Here's what we all want.
  • 00:20:31.192 --> 00:20:32.060
  • First peter chapter five, verse seven.
  • 00:20:32.060 --> 00:20:33.828
  • You just listen to this. here's what we all want.
  • 00:20:33.828 --> 00:20:36.097
  • Give all your worries and cares to god. why?
  • 00:20:36.097 --> 00:20:39.534
  • Why? let's say it louder.
  • 00:20:40.101 --> 00:20:42.704
  • Come on. why
  • 00:20:42.704 --> 00:20:44.739
  • One more time.
  • 00:20:44.739 --> 00:20:45.507
  • Really loud. i didn't write that.
  • 00:20:45.507 --> 00:20:50.111
  • And those are not my words.
  • 00:20:50.712 --> 00:20:53.948
  • So what is the lord?
  • 00:20:54.416 --> 00:20:56.818
  • And it may feel like sometimes he doesn't care.
  • 00:20:56.818 --> 00:20:58.486
  • He cares.
  • 00:20:58.486 --> 00:21:00.322
  • And so this message right here
  • 00:21:00.322 --> 00:21:03.258
  • Is freedom for your life.
  • 00:21:03.258 --> 00:21:04.359
  • Give all your worries and your cares over to god,
  • 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.595
  • Because he cares for you and
  • 00:21:07.595 --> 00:21:11.199
  • And again, a lot of us the same.
  • 00:21:11.199 --> 00:21:12.334
  • But god, i'm trying.
  • 00:21:12.334 --> 00:21:15.170
  • I prayed so many times.
  • 00:21:15.170 --> 00:21:16.304
  • God take my anxiety.
  • 00:21:16.304 --> 00:21:19.107
  • I want peace.
  • 00:21:19.107 --> 00:21:22.577
  • But then maybe he's torn.
  • 00:21:22.577 --> 00:21:23.445
  • I don't even know what pieces anymore.
  • 00:21:23.445 --> 00:21:27.015
  • I don't know what it could look like.
  • 00:21:27.816 --> 00:21:28.983
  • I don't know what healing can look like because
  • 00:21:28.983 --> 00:21:30.618
  • I've been through so many things verbal abuse, physical abuse,
  • 00:21:30.618 --> 00:21:34.155
  • Abandonment,
  • 00:21:34.489 --> 00:21:36.691
  • Addiction,
  • 00:21:36.691 --> 00:21:38.960
  • Hurt.
  • 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.661
  • What is what is peace look like?
  • 00:21:39.661 --> 00:21:42.731
  • How do i receive that?
  • 00:21:42.731 --> 00:21:43.698
  • How do i get my anxieties over to you? okay.
  • 00:21:43.698 --> 00:21:47.969
  • See, we all want verse seven.
  • 00:21:48.603 --> 00:21:52.407
  • But again, when you don't read the entire bible,
  • 00:21:52.407 --> 00:21:54.376
  • You missed the context and you miss revelations.
  • 00:21:54.376 --> 00:21:57.278
  • Well, let's go back one verse.
  • 00:21:57.278 --> 00:22:00.515
  • Let's go back one verse, verse six.
  • 00:22:00.515 --> 00:22:01.916
  • Okay. first peter chapter five, verse six.
  • 00:22:01.916 --> 00:22:04.386
  • So humble
  • 00:22:04.386 --> 00:22:07.255
  • Yourselves
  • 00:22:07.255 --> 00:22:09.157
  • Under the mighty power of god,
  • 00:22:09.157 --> 00:22:12.026
  • And at the right time he will lift you up.
  • 00:22:12.026 --> 00:22:15.196
  • Now listen to this.
  • 00:22:15.196 --> 00:22:16.097
  • Humble yourself, and then you can cast
  • 00:22:16.097 --> 00:22:20.869
  • During society's heart to him because he cares for you.
  • 00:22:20.869 --> 00:22:26.341
  • Did you hear me?
  • 00:22:26.341 --> 00:22:28.977
  • Humble yourself.
  • 00:22:28.977 --> 00:22:31.379
  • A lot of us want to cast on anxiety, but we haven't.
  • 00:22:31.379 --> 00:22:34.382
  • Humble yourself and we have it.
  • 00:22:34.382 --> 00:22:37.752
  • Allow god to tear out the root of pride.
  • 00:22:37.752 --> 00:22:40.054
  • We haven't prayed in years because of that one situation.
  • 00:22:40.054 --> 00:22:44.292
  • For that one church hurt that you still don't understand.
  • 00:22:44.292 --> 00:22:48.329
  • And again, i know it's painful, but pride tells you to keep it.
  • 00:22:48.329 --> 00:22:51.933
  • Pride says store this up on the inside.
  • 00:22:51.933 --> 00:22:54.302
  • Don't trust anybody.
  • 00:22:54.302 --> 00:22:56.471
  • That's pride.
  • 00:22:56.838 --> 00:22:59.874
  • Pride will always cause a fall.
  • 00:22:59.874 --> 00:23:03.778
  • Pride
  • 00:23:04.012 --> 00:23:06.014
  • In yourself, not in god will come to destroy you.
  • 00:23:06.014 --> 00:23:09.284
  • It's the first sin we see out of the bible.
  • 00:23:10.185 --> 00:23:13.721
  • It's the first sin we see of satan.
  • 00:23:14.489 --> 00:23:17.492
  • And it's so strong that one third of the angels fell
  • 00:23:17.492 --> 00:23:20.895
  • From heaven because of pride.
  • 00:23:20.895 --> 00:23:25.200
  • Why are you being stubborn
  • 00:23:25.767 --> 00:23:27.068
  • With god?
  • 00:23:27.068 --> 00:23:30.138
  • Why are you fighting out?
  • 00:23:30.138 --> 00:23:33.007
  • Why are you arch?
  • 00:23:33.007 --> 00:23:35.977
  • Why are you causing confrontation?
  • 00:23:35.977 --> 00:23:38.112
  • Because you don't want to talk about it.
  • 00:23:38.112 --> 00:23:39.781
  • Then it's never going to heal.
  • 00:23:39.781 --> 00:23:43.151
  • You gotta talk about it.
  • 00:23:43.151 --> 00:23:44.419
  • You gotta give it over to god.
  • 00:23:44.419 --> 00:23:45.854
  • But that's what the altar is here.
  • 00:23:45.854 --> 00:23:49.290
  • That's why the heaviness of his holiness is here.
  • 00:23:49.290 --> 00:23:53.027
  • That's the mountain top there.
  • 00:23:53.027 --> 00:23:55.563
  • No matter how low the valley is, you can still meet god.
  • 00:23:55.563 --> 00:24:00.168
  • I can't.
  • 00:24:00.168 --> 00:24:08.009
  • It was humility
  • 00:24:08.376 --> 00:24:09.210
  • Plus faith that brought healing.
  • 00:24:09.210 --> 00:24:12.413
  • Let me be very clear. anxiety.
  • 00:24:12.413 --> 00:24:14.282
  • It's not meant to be managed.
  • 00:24:14.282 --> 00:24:15.984
  • It is meant to be thrown at the feet of jesus.
  • 00:24:15.984 --> 00:24:20.255
  • You cannot overcome
  • 00:24:20.722 --> 00:24:22.524
  • Anxiety with happy thoughts.
  • 00:24:22.524 --> 00:24:25.627
  • You can overcome anxiety,
  • 00:24:26.194 --> 00:24:28.229
  • Though, by the blood of jesus.
  • 00:24:28.229 --> 00:24:31.232
  • You can overcome depression by.
  • 00:24:31.232 --> 00:24:33.701
  • The blood of jesus.
  • 00:24:33.701 --> 00:24:34.869
  • You can overcome the stress in your life by the blood
  • 00:24:34.869 --> 00:24:38.139
  • Of jesus.
  • 00:24:38.139 --> 00:24:38.940
  • The moment you release.
  • 00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:42.277
  • I had a vision last week
  • 00:24:42.810 --> 00:24:45.780
  • At the beginning of my prayer, and i was about to preach,
  • 00:24:45.780 --> 00:24:49.117
  • And i remember telling the congregation
  • 00:24:49.117 --> 00:24:51.019
  • I just had this vision
  • 00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:52.387
  • That a lot of us, when we worship, it's this.
  • 00:24:52.387 --> 00:24:54.255
  • It's this.
  • 00:24:54.255 --> 00:24:57.692
  • And that's i was talking to the lord.
  • 00:24:58.493 --> 00:24:59.894
  • I was asking him, why are the fist closed?
  • 00:24:59.894 --> 00:25:02.130
  • And i just felt it. i,
  • 00:25:02.130 --> 00:25:04.465
  • I thought in my heart
  • 00:25:04.966 --> 00:25:07.669
  • The heaviness
  • 00:25:07.669 --> 00:25:08.903
  • That people hold on to and they do not give over to god.
  • 00:25:08.903 --> 00:25:12.240
  • And so when they worship my holy.
  • 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:13.741
  • Name, their hands are up,
  • 00:25:13.741 --> 00:25:15.877
  • But their fists are close because they're.
  • 00:25:15.877 --> 00:25:17.412
  • Still holding on to things.
  • 00:25:17.412 --> 00:25:20.682
  • I want to share a story with you.
  • 00:25:21.416 --> 00:25:24.586
  • Yeah.
  • 00:25:24.586 --> 00:25:25.286
  • Somebody told me a long time ago
  • 00:25:25.286 --> 00:25:26.187
  • That new levels bring new demons.
  • 00:25:26.187 --> 00:25:28.356
  • New devils in your life.
  • 00:25:28.356 --> 00:25:30.925
  • So meaning as you, as you get into ministry
  • 00:25:30.925 --> 00:25:33.261
  • More and more, as you follow jesus, more and more
  • 00:25:33.261 --> 00:25:35.797
  • You see new demons come after you.
  • 00:25:35.797 --> 00:25:37.532
  • But again, jesus is always with you.
  • 00:25:37.532 --> 00:25:39.767
  • And i remember within our evangel ministry,
  • 00:25:39.767 --> 00:25:43.237
  • There was a girl that came to me and my wife and
  • 00:25:44.172 --> 00:25:46.441
  • She said, please help me.
  • 00:25:46.441 --> 00:25:49.177
  • And she was kind of scared to
  • 00:25:49.811 --> 00:25:50.812
  • Tell us what she was going through.
  • 00:25:50.812 --> 00:25:52.113
  • And she said, i'm, i'm seeing demons.
  • 00:25:52.113 --> 00:25:57.251
  • She said, i'm
  • 00:25:57.619 --> 00:25:58.453
  • Seeing them in my room and i'm scared.
  • 00:25:58.453 --> 00:26:01.756
  • And and i could tell, like, she was very real,
  • 00:26:01.756 --> 00:26:04.759
  • Very authentic.
  • 00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:07.762
  • And she wasn't weird.
  • 00:26:07.762 --> 00:26:08.630
  • She wasn't like, crazy.
  • 00:26:08.630 --> 00:26:12.033
  • And so we realized she she didn't know jesus yet.
  • 00:26:12.033 --> 00:26:15.503
  • You know what's crazy to me?
  • 00:26:15.503 --> 00:26:16.638
  • She shared this with us, and i'll never forget this.
  • 00:26:16.638 --> 00:26:18.172
  • She said, the demons tell me that jesus isn't real.
  • 00:26:18.172 --> 00:26:21.709
  • This girl is seeing demons, seeing spiritual warfare.
  • 00:26:22.810 --> 00:26:27.615
  • Yet at the same time, she's doubting if jesus is real
  • 00:26:27.615 --> 00:26:30.685
  • And that crazy.
  • 00:26:30.685 --> 00:26:31.619
  • What demons can try to do to your mind.
  • 00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:34.922
  • And so one night we were at a gathering and my friend
  • 00:26:34.922 --> 00:26:38.726
  • Said to me,
  • 00:26:39.060 --> 00:26:39.994
  • She can't say the name of jesus.
  • 00:26:39.994 --> 00:26:43.031
  • We need to pray over her.
  • 00:26:43.031 --> 00:26:45.967
  • So i said, okay.
  • 00:26:45.967 --> 00:26:46.801
  • And so we go over to her
  • 00:26:46.801 --> 00:26:48.403
  • And we just started speaking the name of jesus.
  • 00:26:48.403 --> 00:26:51.439
  • And again, she was a lovely girl,
  • 00:26:51.439 --> 00:26:54.008
  • Very sweet, very kind.
  • 00:26:54.008 --> 00:26:56.344
  • But as we started praying in the name of jesus,
  • 00:26:56.344 --> 00:26:58.413
  • She just said out loud, i'm getting really angry.
  • 00:26:58.413 --> 00:27:02.216
  • I'm feeling rage.
  • 00:27:02.650 --> 00:27:05.386
  • And in that moment i'll never forget this.
  • 00:27:05.386 --> 00:27:07.789
  • She just randomly looked at me and says, it does not like you.
  • 00:27:07.789 --> 00:27:12.293
  • And the old me would have ran out.
  • 00:27:13.027 --> 00:27:14.762
  • Of there. i'll be honest with you. okay.
  • 00:27:14.762 --> 00:27:17.231
  • Good night guys. let's be done.
  • 00:27:17.231 --> 00:27:18.466
  • I let's go get that pizza.
  • 00:27:18.466 --> 00:27:23.237
  • But god was there,
  • 00:27:23.671 --> 00:27:26.774
  • And it wasn't me and it wasn't me.
  • 00:27:26.774 --> 00:27:29.277
  • I'm not brave enough to say this,
  • 00:27:29.277 --> 00:27:30.912
  • But i felt the holy spirit on the inside,
  • 00:27:30.912 --> 00:27:33.147
  • And i said it's because.
  • 00:27:33.147 --> 00:27:34.382
  • I'm covered by. the blood of jesus.
  • 00:27:34.382 --> 00:27:37.185
  • That's why.
  • 00:27:37.518 --> 00:27:38.586
  • Because that demon can't touch me.
  • 00:27:38.586 --> 00:27:41.355
  • And we started praying over her for deliverance.
  • 00:27:41.355 --> 00:27:44.425
  • But let me tell you something that i was powerful.
  • 00:27:44.425 --> 00:27:47.261
  • But the demons kept coming back for a while.
  • 00:27:47.261 --> 00:27:48.730
  • You wouldn't know why? because it was an open door.
  • 00:27:48.730 --> 00:27:51.632
  • See, it took a while for her to give her life over to christ.
  • 00:27:51.632 --> 00:27:55.036
  • But the open door was this.
  • 00:27:55.636 --> 00:27:58.573
  • She was abused as a child in our home.
  • 00:27:58.573 --> 00:28:02.076
  • A lot of things took place in her home
  • 00:28:02.910 --> 00:28:05.947
  • That's very private and disturbing.
  • 00:28:05.947 --> 00:28:08.816
  • None of her family was a believer.
  • 00:28:08.816 --> 00:28:10.852
  • Nobody was a believer.
  • 00:28:10.852 --> 00:28:11.753
  • It was a it was demon infested.
  • 00:28:11.753 --> 00:28:14.922
  • And it took a while.
  • 00:28:14.922 --> 00:28:17.725
  • It took a while, even in that situation,
  • 00:28:17.725 --> 00:28:20.728
  • To hand over her pride
  • 00:28:20.728 --> 00:28:24.198
  • Over to the lord so that she could be healed.
  • 00:28:24.198 --> 00:28:27.602
  • And today, she's completely
  • 00:28:28.202 --> 00:28:29.403
  • Set free from these things.
  • 00:28:29.403 --> 00:28:32.907
  • She. you.
  • 00:28:33.207 --> 00:28:36.878
  • Heard me read this, my chapter nine, verse 25 to 27.
  • 00:28:36.878 --> 00:28:40.381
  • When jesus saw the
  • 00:28:40.381 --> 00:28:41.616
  • Crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil spirit.
  • 00:28:41.616 --> 00:28:45.086
  • Listen, you spirit,
  • 00:28:45.086 --> 00:28:46.854
  • That makes this boy unable to hear and speak.
  • 00:28:46.854 --> 00:28:50.158
  • I command you
  • 00:28:50.158 --> 00:28:51.292
  • To come out of this child and never enter him again.
  • 00:28:51.292 --> 00:28:54.829
  • Then this spirit screamed and threw the boy into another
  • 00:28:54.829 --> 00:28:58.432
  • Violent convulsion and left him.
  • 00:28:58.432 --> 00:29:00.902
  • And the boy appeared to be dead again.
  • 00:29:00.902 --> 00:29:03.337
  • The father was like, come on, come on, jesus, can you do it?
  • 00:29:03.337 --> 00:29:06.674
  • And a murmur ran to the crowd as people said, he's dead.
  • 00:29:06.674 --> 00:29:10.645
  • Do not listen to rumors.
  • 00:29:10.645 --> 00:29:13.681
  • Do not listen to what other people are telling you.
  • 00:29:13.681 --> 00:29:16.284
  • Believe what god has spoken over you
  • 00:29:16.284 --> 00:29:19.921
  • Because jesus took him by the hand
  • 00:29:19.921 --> 00:29:22.924
  • And helped him to his feet.
  • 00:29:23.524 --> 00:29:25.760
  • And the boy stood up.
  • 00:29:25.760 --> 00:29:34.902
  • Because this man got to a special place of humility.
  • 00:29:35.937 --> 00:29:38.940
  • That's why
  • 00:29:38.940 --> 00:29:41.008
  • This this father said, i can't move without you. god,
  • 00:29:41.008 --> 00:29:44.645
  • I can't see this breakthrough without you. god.
  • 00:29:45.646 --> 00:29:48.783
  • Our future is nothing without you. god,
  • 00:29:49.650 --> 00:29:53.087
  • I need you right now because i don't know where i'm going.
  • 00:29:53.087 --> 00:29:56.858
  • And i'm helpless and i'm restless.
  • 00:29:56.858 --> 00:29:59.994
  • But i want to know if the stories are true.
  • 00:29:59.994 --> 00:30:03.397
  • Here's the messiah.
  • 00:30:03.865 --> 00:30:06.133
  • Here's what they tell me.
  • 00:30:06.133 --> 00:30:09.637
  • He had an open his fist.
  • 00:30:10.171 --> 00:30:13.908
  • And hand over something
  • 00:30:14.408 --> 00:30:17.178
  • To jesus
  • 00:30:17.178 --> 00:30:19.547
  • For the healing to take place here,
  • 00:30:19.547 --> 00:30:22.617
  • Let me ask you a question.
  • 00:30:23.184 --> 00:30:25.353
  • Is god talking to you tonight
  • 00:30:25.353 --> 00:30:28.890
  • Or is he talking to you?
  • 00:30:29.423 --> 00:30:32.326
  • It's his message for you.
  • 00:30:32.326 --> 00:30:34.362
  • Has fear and anxiety clouded your mind
  • 00:30:34.362 --> 00:30:37.732
  • And your thoughts and your future?
  • 00:30:37.732 --> 00:30:40.167
  • And you're afraid of everything?
  • 00:30:40.167 --> 00:30:41.836
  • Do you wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks?
  • 00:30:41.836 --> 00:30:46.007
  • Hit? this is you.
  • 00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.209
  • Let me tell you right now.
  • 00:30:48.209 --> 00:30:49.510
  • Jesus will meet you right here.
  • 00:30:49.510 --> 00:30:52.813
  • Anything is possible.
  • 00:30:52.813 --> 00:30:55.383
  • If you believe that anything is possible.
  • 00:30:55.383 --> 00:30:58.653
  • If you move, anything is possible.
  • 00:30:58.653 --> 00:31:01.389
  • When you humble yourself before.
  • 00:31:01.389 --> 00:31:03.724
  • The almighty god.
  • 00:31:03.724 --> 00:31:06.327
  • Right before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
  • 00:31:06.327 --> 00:31:08.996
  • And this one's a big one.
  • 00:31:08.996 --> 00:31:10.164
  • Okay.
  • 00:31:10.164 --> 00:31:10.531
  • This year
  • 00:31:10.531 --> 00:31:11.332
  • We held
  • 00:31:11.332 --> 00:31:12.533
  • Our very first awaken conference in hickory, north carolina
  • 00:31:12.533 --> 00:31:15.636
  • For authentic church.
  • 00:31:15.636 --> 00:31:16.837
  • And we saw
  • 00:31:16.837 --> 00:31:18.005
  • People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
  • 00:31:18.005 --> 00:31:21.876
  • And even outside of the country
  • 00:31:21.876 --> 00:31:23.611
  • To experience what god is doing here.
  • 00:31:23.611 --> 00:31:25.846
  • So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
  • 00:31:25.846 --> 00:31:31.252
  • We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
  • 00:31:31.252 --> 00:31:34.055

  • 00:31:50.738 --> 00:32:07.555
  • The reason i even bring it up tonight
  • 00:32:07.555 --> 00:32:11.058
  • Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
  • 00:32:11.058 --> 00:32:15.830
  • The gospel message is all about
  • 00:32:15.830 --> 00:32:18.766
  • Your understanding of the message about
  • 00:32:18.766 --> 00:32:21.936
  • The man who will inform your methods of getting.
  • 00:32:21.936 --> 00:32:25.072
  • To know the man.
  • 00:32:25.072 --> 00:32:38.552
  • He. left.
  • 00:32:38.853 --> 00:32:57.271
  • This job doesn't work out for me.
  • 00:32:57.271 --> 00:32:59.507
  • What if i move my life by faith and it all just
  • 00:32:59.507 --> 00:33:03.411
  • Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
  • 00:33:03.411 --> 00:33:06.147
  • What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
  • 00:33:06.147 --> 00:33:09.083
  • But i would rather move by faith
  • 00:33:09.083 --> 00:33:10.885
  • And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
  • 00:33:10.885 --> 00:33:14.755
  • And i ended up exactly.
  • 00:33:14.755 --> 00:33:15.990
  • Where i needed to be.
  • 00:33:15.990 --> 00:33:47.354
  • You know what today is
  • 00:33:47.822 --> 00:33:49.890
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:33:49.890 --> 00:33:53.027
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:33:53.461 --> 00:33:56.664
  • Who? you better
  • 00:33:57.031 --> 00:33:59.100
  • Not ask the holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
  • 00:33:59.100 --> 00:34:02.837
  • I came here to remind you.
  • 00:34:03.404 --> 00:34:05.206
  • You need the holy spirit.
  • 00:34:05.206 --> 00:34:34.502
