Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Free Me From My Anxiety (Part 1) | August 25, 2025
- 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 --> 00:00:31.461
- Today i had the incredible experience
- 00:00:32.395 --> 00:00:35.364
- To be able to meet many of you
- 00:00:35.364 --> 00:00:38.101
- And to meet and hear your testimonies
- 00:00:38.101 --> 00:00:41.070
- And the things that you have been through
- 00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:42.472
- And the moments that god has spoken directly into your life.
- 00:00:42.472 --> 00:00:47.243
- And so many of you have shared with me
- 00:00:47.243 --> 00:00:49.212
- How this church right here has changed your life.
- 00:00:49.212 --> 00:00:53.649
- But i want to say this very clearly god
- 00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:55.952
- Was meeting with you.
- 00:00:55.952 --> 00:00:57.920
- Jesus was meeting with you.
- 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.256
- He just knew how to use the sermons
- 00:01:00.256 --> 00:01:02.492
- Being preached out of this house
- 00:01:02.492 --> 00:01:03.993
- To reach you at the right time,
- 00:01:03.993 --> 00:01:05.828
- But he always had a plan for you.
- 00:01:05.828 --> 00:01:09.265
- He was always there, and he understood your heart
- 00:01:09.265 --> 00:01:12.301
- And the times you
- 00:01:12.802 --> 00:01:14.170
- Felt abandoned, and the things that you have been through.
- 00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:17.206
- Are you ready to meet with god?
- 00:01:17.206 --> 00:01:19.842
- And again, let me ask you this.
- 00:01:19.842 --> 00:01:20.943
- Do you feel his presence in this room? yes.
- 00:01:20.943 --> 00:01:23.312
- Turn to somebody next you and say, god is here.
- 00:01:23.312 --> 00:01:26.249
- God is here.
- 00:01:26.249 --> 00:01:27.517
- Now turn to the other person you didn't want to talk to
- 00:01:27.517 --> 00:01:28.951
- Because maybe you didn't know them.
- 00:01:28.951 --> 00:01:30.386
- And it's a little bit awkward.
- 00:01:30.386 --> 00:01:31.521
- And tell them, hey, god is here for you too.
- 00:01:31.521 --> 00:01:33.723
- God is here for you too.
- 00:01:33.723 --> 00:01:35.491
- By the way, you all look lovely tonight.
- 00:01:35.491 --> 00:01:37.593
- Look at this room. just look around right here.
- 00:01:37.593 --> 00:01:39.028
- This is a miracle.
- 00:01:39.028 --> 00:01:40.263
- Okay. y'all see this?
- 00:01:40.263 --> 00:01:42.165
- Y'all see this?
- 00:01:42.165 --> 00:01:43.699
- Hallelujah.
- 00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:47.136
- Here's what the lord placed in my heart tonight.
- 00:01:47.136 --> 00:01:48.871
- This message of mine is going to be different.
- 00:01:48.871 --> 00:01:51.874
- It's going to be different.
- 00:01:51.874 --> 00:01:53.943
- I am fully relying on the lord to bring this message,
- 00:01:53.943 --> 00:01:56.679
- As i do every sunday.
- 00:01:56.679 --> 00:01:57.780
- But there's something special about tonight.
- 00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:01.150
- Because the awakening has been a vision in my heart
- 00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:03.719
- For a very long time.
- 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:04.754
- It's been very heavy for a very long time.
- 00:02:04.754 --> 00:02:07.490
- I always thought of the billy graham revivals.
- 00:02:07.490 --> 00:02:10.526
- They used to take place in how,
- 00:02:10.526 --> 00:02:12.461
- Stadiums were completely packed. why?
- 00:02:12.461 --> 00:02:14.430
- Because people were in all of god,
- 00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:16.566
- And they wanted to hear about jesus christ.
- 00:02:16.566 --> 00:02:19.602
- And i'm looking at our culture,
- 00:02:19.602 --> 00:02:21.270
- And i'm like, god, where is that?
- 00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:24.407
- They.
- 00:02:24.407 --> 00:02:25.641
- When's the last time people really crowded a stadium
- 00:02:25.641 --> 00:02:27.877
- To hear about god, to hear about you, to hear
- 00:02:27.877 --> 00:02:31.514
- About the amazing gospel that will set us free.
- 00:02:31.514 --> 00:02:34.951
- Because the world will never satisfy you,
- 00:02:34.951 --> 00:02:38.120
- By the way.
- 00:02:38.521 --> 00:02:40.189
- It will never satisfy you.
- 00:02:40.189 --> 00:02:43.426
- And here's what the lord spoke to me.
- 00:02:43.426 --> 00:02:45.528
- And i remember talking to even pastor kenny clark about this
- 00:02:45.528 --> 00:02:48.364
- A while back.
- 00:02:48.364 --> 00:02:49.565
- But god said, no, no, no, the revival is coming,
- 00:02:49.565 --> 00:02:53.369
- But it's going to look a little bit different this time.
- 00:02:53.369 --> 00:02:56.105
- I'm going to reach people all over the world,
- 00:02:56.105 --> 00:02:58.140
- And i believe a lot of that is included
- 00:02:58.140 --> 00:02:59.909
- With the online ministries that are happening right now.
- 00:02:59.909 --> 00:03:02.645
- But my people will be on fire for me again.
- 00:03:02.645 --> 00:03:05.881
- And here's what i believe.
- 00:03:06.515 --> 00:03:07.516
- I believe for the next generation.
- 00:03:07.516 --> 00:03:08.851
- Right now, there's about to be a great revival.
- 00:03:08.851 --> 00:03:11.354
- You know why?
- 00:03:11.354 --> 00:03:11.988
- Because they're tired.
- 00:03:11.988 --> 00:03:14.490
- How many of you are tired of the culture
- 00:03:14.490 --> 00:03:17.360
- Coming after your identity?
- 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.695
- How many of you are tired of the culture trying to tell you
- 00:03:19.695 --> 00:03:23.165
- You gotta own this?
- 00:03:23.165 --> 00:03:24.400
- You gotta buy that to have worth in this life. no.
- 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.069
- You just need jesus.
- 00:03:27.069 --> 00:03:29.372
- The moment you were created, you had worth and value.
- 00:03:29.372 --> 00:03:32.975
- And god
- 00:03:32.975 --> 00:03:35.411
- Just prayed.
- 00:03:35.411 --> 00:03:37.280
- And the lord led me to romans chapter
- 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.782
- 13, verse 11, which is.
- 00:03:39.782 --> 00:03:43.552
- For instance, weakened.
- 00:03:44.153 --> 00:03:45.721
- Now paul is talking to the christian church in rome.
- 00:03:45.721 --> 00:03:48.924
- But listen to the wording here.
- 00:03:48.924 --> 00:03:50.159
- This is all the more urgent for you to know.
- 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.096
- Listen to the word, to hear, to know how late it is.
- 00:03:54.096 --> 00:03:58.301
- Time is running out.
- 00:03:58.801 --> 00:04:01.537
- Wake up.
- 00:04:01.537 --> 00:04:03.739
- You're asleep.
- 00:04:03.739 --> 00:04:05.441
- You're not paying attention.
- 00:04:05.441 --> 00:04:07.143
- Wake up.
- 00:04:07.143 --> 00:04:07.943
- For our salvation is nearer now
- 00:04:07.943 --> 00:04:10.813
- Than when we first believed.
- 00:04:10.813 --> 00:04:14.150
- Paul is talking to the christian church in rome. why?
- 00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:17.887
- Because tensions are starting to get high.
- 00:04:17.887 --> 00:04:21.590
- And they're starting to get scared and become afraid.
- 00:04:21.590 --> 00:04:24.493
- Who know?
- 00:04:24.493 --> 00:04:25.628
- If we shared the gospel, we may be persecuted.
- 00:04:25.628 --> 00:04:28.297
- We may be hurt.
- 00:04:28.764 --> 00:04:29.965
- They're trying to hurt us and and hunt us down now.
- 00:04:29.965 --> 00:04:32.568
- And paul said, listen, no, no, no.
- 00:04:32.568 --> 00:04:34.036
- You are called in a time such as this.
- 00:04:34.036 --> 00:04:36.939
- You were called in a time such as this
- 00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:39.275
- To tell people, yes, jesus is coming back.
- 00:04:39.275 --> 00:04:42.611
- He is the lord and savior who died for your sins
- 00:04:42.611 --> 00:04:45.681
- Upon the cross.
- 00:04:45.681 --> 00:04:47.717
- But paul was telling them this because
- 00:04:48.684 --> 00:04:51.320
- He wanted them to wake up.
- 00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:52.421
- Let me say it in a different way.
- 00:04:52.421 --> 00:04:53.789
- Stop sleepwalking through your faith.
- 00:04:53.789 --> 00:04:57.193
- Stop hitting the snooze button on the clock.
- 00:04:57.193 --> 00:05:00.162
- Every time god tries to get your attention.
- 00:05:00.162 --> 00:05:02.031
- No, god, i'm busy right now.
- 00:05:02.031 --> 00:05:04.900
- Right? i got places to be.
- 00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:06.502
- I got people to see. i got this date coming up.
- 00:05:06.502 --> 00:05:08.904
- God, i'm trying to pursue a relationship.
- 00:05:08.904 --> 00:05:11.040
- God's asking you, when's the last time you tried
- 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.075
- To pursue a relationship with me?
- 00:05:13.075 --> 00:05:15.578
- How many times have you broken your heart over and over
- 00:05:15.578 --> 00:05:18.481
- And over again, looking for things that do not complete you?
- 00:05:18.481 --> 00:05:22.685
- And so i'm looking at this thing,
- 00:05:23.552 --> 00:05:24.553
- And paul is saying it's time to wake up.
- 00:05:24.553 --> 00:05:27.223
- And what i love about this, listen, the war and the battle
- 00:05:27.223 --> 00:05:30.226
- Is over. your
- 00:05:30.226 --> 00:05:31.127
- It's over your it's over your mind.
- 00:05:32.061 --> 00:05:34.797
- If the devil can get ahold of your thoughts,
- 00:05:34.797 --> 00:05:37.833
- He's winning the battle over your life.
- 00:05:37.833 --> 00:05:39.935
- But here's the promise of god. no, no, no.
- 00:05:39.935 --> 00:05:41.704
- The spirit of god lives inside of you.
- 00:05:41.704 --> 00:05:43.606
- And you can take your mind back tonight.
- 00:05:43.606 --> 00:05:46.142
- You can take your mind back right now.
- 00:05:46.142 --> 00:05:49.211
- And so that's what paul is saying.
- 00:05:49.211 --> 00:05:50.346
- You got to change your perception.
- 00:05:50.346 --> 00:05:52.114
- He's saying, i know that the world is bad.
- 00:05:52.114 --> 00:05:54.750
- Like i know that there are trials coming your way.
- 00:05:54.750 --> 00:05:57.119
- I know that you are
- 00:05:57.119 --> 00:05:58.521
- Being attacked in this moment, but you are still being called
- 00:05:58.521 --> 00:06:02.124
- By a loving father who will meet you right now.
- 00:06:02.124 --> 00:06:05.261
- It is not a time to sit down and hide.
- 00:06:05.261 --> 00:06:09.799
- And he's talking to christians that he knows could be killed,
- 00:06:11.133 --> 00:06:14.970
- Persecuted, and hurt.
- 00:06:15.504 --> 00:06:18.574
- And the burden on my heart is that a lot of us today
- 00:06:18.574 --> 00:06:20.976
- Are afraid to share the gospel,
- 00:06:20.976 --> 00:06:22.812
- Because the comments that we see online.
- 00:06:22.812 --> 00:06:24.680
- I know that they're hurtful,
- 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.416
- But give it over to the lord.
- 00:06:27.416 --> 00:06:29.919
- We're afraid to tell people about jesus in our workplace
- 00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:32.488
- Because we're afraid what might happen to our job.
- 00:06:32.488 --> 00:06:35.090
- But do you believe that god can provide a better one?
- 00:06:35.090 --> 00:06:38.360
- Do you believe that if god is telling you
- 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.895
- To witness to somebody, it is that time?
- 00:06:39.895 --> 00:06:42.264
- You know how many times
- 00:06:42.264 --> 00:06:43.999
- There was a time that i was a waiter in college?
- 00:06:43.999 --> 00:06:46.569
- How many of y'all had waited tables before?
- 00:06:46.569 --> 00:06:48.704
- How many of you know that it's
- 00:06:48.704 --> 00:06:49.972
- One of the craziest jobs you could ever have, right?
- 00:06:49.972 --> 00:06:53.576
- And i remember i would come in
- 00:06:53.576 --> 00:06:55.010
- Because i was going to bible college at the time,
- 00:06:55.010 --> 00:06:57.279
- And they would say, here comes that preacher boy.
- 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.849
- Like, here comes that boy.
- 00:06:59.849 --> 00:07:01.083
- That's all about jesus and stuff like that.
- 00:07:01.083 --> 00:07:02.651
- And i would mess with him.
- 00:07:02.651 --> 00:07:04.086
- And i never shoved anything down their throat.
- 00:07:04.086 --> 00:07:05.821
- But i always represented jesus. he's good.
- 00:07:05.821 --> 00:07:08.591
- He loves you.
- 00:07:08.591 --> 00:07:10.092
- My manager at the time was an atheist,
- 00:07:10.092 --> 00:07:13.429
- And she didn't believe at all.
- 00:07:13.429 --> 00:07:15.331
- But i still proclaimed jesus every single day.
- 00:07:15.331 --> 00:07:19.468
- I wasn't afraid to get in trouble.
- 00:07:19.468 --> 00:07:20.736
- Here's what happened. here's what happened. it's so cool.
- 00:07:20.736 --> 00:07:22.638
- On days when people were going through some stuff,
- 00:07:22.638 --> 00:07:25.841
- Going through some trials,
- 00:07:25.841 --> 00:07:27.243
- The same people that used to make fun of me
- 00:07:27.243 --> 00:07:29.645
- Now came up to me and said, hey, can i have some advice?
- 00:07:29.645 --> 00:07:32.281
- You ever had that happen before?
- 00:07:33.015 --> 00:07:34.850
- The same people
- 00:07:34.850 --> 00:07:36.252
- Who are calling you names will come to you and ask
- 00:07:36.252 --> 00:07:40.089
- How to receive what you have in your life,
- 00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:44.260
- Because they see something different in you.
- 00:07:44.260 --> 00:07:45.928
- It is time to wake up
- 00:07:45.928 --> 00:07:48.364
- In a time such as this,
- 00:07:48.364 --> 00:07:51.033
- To share the love of the good father and look at what
- 00:07:51.033 --> 00:07:52.868
- Paul said again.
- 00:07:52.868 --> 00:07:53.869
- He said, do you know how late it is?
- 00:07:53.869 --> 00:07:57.273
- The time is running out.
- 00:07:57.873 --> 00:07:59.808
- In other words, check the clock.
- 00:07:59.808 --> 00:08:02.444
- Have you even looked at the time?
- 00:08:02.444 --> 00:08:04.146
- It's sooner than you think and we're just
- 00:08:04.146 --> 00:08:07.216
- Getting closer and closer to the return of jesus.
- 00:08:07.216 --> 00:08:10.519
- And i don't know about you, but i'm excited.
- 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.924
- Because a lot of people, when i said,
- 00:08:15.824 --> 00:08:17.192
- I said last week to our church, i said, a lot of people say,
- 00:08:17.192 --> 00:08:19.094
- You know, i don't like this stuff.
- 00:08:19.094 --> 00:08:20.396
- I don't like in this type of stuff
- 00:08:20.396 --> 00:08:21.931
- Because i get afraid of like,
- 00:08:21.931 --> 00:08:23.332
- The antichrist and all those things.
- 00:08:23.332 --> 00:08:24.667
- Listen, the story doesn't end with the antichrist.
- 00:08:24.667 --> 00:08:28.037
- The story ends with jesus.
- 00:08:28.671 --> 00:08:31.040
- Like that's the end of the story.
- 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.575
- We get to dwell with him and the kingdom forever.
- 00:08:32.575 --> 00:08:35.978
- New heaven, new earth with him forever.
- 00:08:35.978 --> 00:08:38.213
- There will be no more tears, no more pain, no more death.
- 00:08:38.213 --> 00:08:43.586
- Just be with jesus.
- 00:08:44.119 --> 00:08:46.622
- But check the clock.
- 00:08:46.622 --> 00:08:49.024
- See, jesus saved you by his blood.
- 00:08:49.024 --> 00:08:50.993
- Not so that you can just sit and hide.
- 00:08:50.993 --> 00:08:54.630
- That's what paul is telling this church in rome.
- 00:08:54.630 --> 00:08:57.566
- And so i thought about this message, and i was
- 00:08:57.566 --> 00:09:00.002
- Thinking about this scripture, and i was praying over you guys.
- 00:09:00.002 --> 00:09:02.004
- I said, god, god, how can i get them to wake up?
- 00:09:02.004 --> 00:09:05.708
- Like, i've seen you in my life so many different times,
- 00:09:06.942 --> 00:09:09.478
- But how can i show people that you are real
- 00:09:09.478 --> 00:09:12.781
- And amazing and see the glory of god?
- 00:09:12.781 --> 00:09:15.618
- And so here's what i put on my heart as well.
- 00:09:15.618 --> 00:09:17.586
- It's a lot of people don't know what the glory of god is.
- 00:09:17.586 --> 00:09:21.256
- We know the phrase, we don't really know the definition.
- 00:09:21.256 --> 00:09:24.093
- Did you know the glory of god
- 00:09:24.093 --> 00:09:25.427
- Actually represents the weight of god's presence?
- 00:09:25.427 --> 00:09:28.864
- But there's a weight to holiness.
- 00:09:29.665 --> 00:09:32.267
- There's a heaviness in the room when you feel god's presence,
- 00:09:32.267 --> 00:09:35.704
- But it's also a consuming fire.
- 00:09:35.704 --> 00:09:38.907
- It's protection. it's provision.
- 00:09:38.907 --> 00:09:41.377
- It's direction.
- 00:09:41.377 --> 00:09:42.778
- It's the presence of the holy god who led the israelites
- 00:09:42.778 --> 00:09:46.582
- Through the wilderness.
- 00:09:46.582 --> 00:09:47.549
- He will still lead you today.
- 00:09:47.549 --> 00:09:51.020
- But you got to know his voice.
- 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.957
- Glory of god.
- 00:09:54.957 --> 00:09:55.724
- It's a mountaintop experience.
- 00:09:55.724 --> 00:09:58.894
- We talked a little bit about that today in a podcast session,
- 00:09:58.894 --> 00:10:02.464
- Because i'm seeing in this world,
- 00:10:03.332 --> 00:10:04.767
- See that there's a counterfeit mountaintop.
- 00:10:04.767 --> 00:10:08.037
- There's a mountaintop in the bible,
- 00:10:08.037 --> 00:10:09.271
- But there's also a counterfeit in this world.
- 00:10:09.271 --> 00:10:11.040
- And the world will tell you, you gotta have all these things.
- 00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:13.175
- And i'm seeing so many people gather
- 00:10:13.175 --> 00:10:14.977
- These things in their life,
- 00:10:14.977 --> 00:10:16.145
- And then they hit depression on the mountain.
- 00:10:16.145 --> 00:10:18.681
- You know, i don't see that in the bible.
- 00:10:18.681 --> 00:10:21.183
- When you're following jesus and have a mountaintop experience,
- 00:10:21.183 --> 00:10:24.053
- It changes your life. and so i want to show you this.
- 00:10:24.053 --> 00:10:26.789
- I want you to picture one of the most glorious
- 00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:28.357
- Wake up moments in the bible.
- 00:10:28.357 --> 00:10:30.659
- If you have your bibles, you can turn to mark chapter nine.
- 00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:33.262
- If you don't, the scripture will be on the screen as well.
- 00:10:33.262 --> 00:10:36.632
- Mark chapter nine, verse two through eight
- 00:10:36.632 --> 00:10:39.568
- And it states, listen to this.
- 00:10:39.568 --> 00:10:41.503
- Six days after jesus took peter, james, and john
- 00:10:41.503 --> 00:10:45.474
- And led them up a high mountain to be alone, has the men watch,
- 00:10:45.474 --> 00:10:49.378
- Listen to this.
- 00:10:49.378 --> 00:10:50.345
- Jesus's appearance was transformed
- 00:10:50.345 --> 00:10:53.882
- And his clothes became dazzling white,
- 00:10:53.882 --> 00:10:56.719
- Far wider than any earthly bleach could ever make them.
- 00:10:56.719 --> 00:11:00.456
- Now listen to this.
- 00:11:00.989 --> 00:11:02.324
- Elijah and moses had been dead for a long time,
- 00:11:02.324 --> 00:11:04.593
- Or elijah was caught up.
- 00:11:04.593 --> 00:11:05.994
- But moses had been dead for a long time, and so did elijah.
- 00:11:05.994 --> 00:11:08.831
- And moses appeared and began talking with jesus.
- 00:11:08.831 --> 00:11:13.469
- Can you imagine
- 00:11:13.469 --> 00:11:15.137
- I only moses?
- 00:11:15.537 --> 00:11:17.873
- I'm here with jesus on a mountaintop,
- 00:11:17.873 --> 00:11:20.375
- And this guy died, but he's still here,
- 00:11:20.375 --> 00:11:22.945
- And this guy disappeared and he's here.
- 00:11:22.945 --> 00:11:25.380
- I see in the prophets right before me.
- 00:11:25.380 --> 00:11:27.382
- And so they're looking at jesus.
- 00:11:27.382 --> 00:11:28.951
- This is called the transfiguration.
- 00:11:28.951 --> 00:11:30.853
- And peter exclaimed, rabbi, it's
- 00:11:30.853 --> 00:11:33.522
- Wonderful for us to be here.
- 00:11:33.522 --> 00:11:36.692
- Let's make three shelters as memorials.
- 00:11:36.692 --> 00:11:39.094
- One for you, one for moses, one for elijah.
- 00:11:39.094 --> 00:11:42.531
- Now, i think this is funny
- 00:11:42.531 --> 00:11:43.999
- Because if you read the next
- 00:11:43.999 --> 00:11:45.033
- Verse, here's what it states very clearly.
- 00:11:45.033 --> 00:11:46.769
- He said this because he really didn't know what to say.
- 00:11:46.769 --> 00:11:49.905
- You know what the bible was saying?
- 00:11:49.905 --> 00:11:50.973
- Be quiet peter, they shut your mouth.
- 00:11:50.973 --> 00:11:53.575
- You got a friend like that?
- 00:11:53.575 --> 00:11:54.843
- They're like, just because it's awkward.
- 00:11:54.843 --> 00:11:56.145
- They just keep talking and you want to be like,
- 00:11:56.145 --> 00:11:57.813
- What's your mouth like? you're making it worse.
- 00:11:57.813 --> 00:11:59.982
- Peter's saying all these things
- 00:11:59.982 --> 00:12:01.283
- Because he's seeing the glory of god on the mountaintop,
- 00:12:01.283 --> 00:12:04.286
- The transfiguration.
- 00:12:04.286 --> 00:12:05.187
- It is an amazing sight.
- 00:12:05.187 --> 00:12:07.222
- And i believe that there was a peace
- 00:12:08.123 --> 00:12:10.259
- And you get the heaviness of god.
- 00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:12.561
- But it also says that they were terrified.
- 00:12:12.561 --> 00:12:14.196
- You know, we miss that about the holiness of god.
- 00:12:14.196 --> 00:12:18.033
- Why do you fear this world instead of god?
- 00:12:18.033 --> 00:12:21.904
- Because when you're saying, no, no, no,
- 00:12:21.904 --> 00:12:23.071
- I'm so afraid to talk about jesus,
- 00:12:23.071 --> 00:12:25.140
- And i'm so afraid to live my life for jesus.
- 00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:27.142
- And what if this happens? and what if this comes after me?
- 00:12:27.142 --> 00:12:29.645
- Then you're declaring that you fear the demons of this world
- 00:12:29.645 --> 00:12:32.347
- Instead of the almighty god.
- 00:12:32.347 --> 00:12:33.615
- Do you realize that because you're actually speaking
- 00:12:33.615 --> 00:12:36.752
- Against his holiness, the bible says to fear the lord?
- 00:12:36.752 --> 00:12:41.790
- That is the only one you fear.
- 00:12:41.790 --> 00:12:43.525
- Fear the lord and all in respect of god
- 00:12:43.525 --> 00:12:47.095
- Because he is mighty and it just judge.
- 00:12:47.095 --> 00:12:49.431
- But they were all terrified on the mountaintop,
- 00:12:50.532 --> 00:12:53.035
- And then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud
- 00:12:53.035 --> 00:12:56.605
- Said, now can you imagine what the voice sounded like?
- 00:12:56.605 --> 00:12:59.942
- I'm gonna try my best here.
- 00:12:59.942 --> 00:13:01.043
- This is my dearly beloved son.
- 00:13:01.043 --> 00:13:03.312
- I don't know if that was good at all.
- 00:13:03.312 --> 00:13:04.413
- So let's let's go back to my regular voice.
- 00:13:04.413 --> 00:13:06.281
- This is my dearly beloved son.
- 00:13:06.281 --> 00:13:09.151
- I'm never trying that again. all right,
- 00:13:09.151 --> 00:13:11.954
- Listen to him.
- 00:13:11.954 --> 00:13:14.857
- Also think that's funny because again, peter
- 00:13:14.857 --> 00:13:16.325
- Was talking so much, he's like, no, no, no, you listen,
- 00:13:16.325 --> 00:13:19.261
- Listen to him.
- 00:13:19.261 --> 00:13:20.295
- Suddenly when they looked around, moses
- 00:13:20.295 --> 00:13:22.464
- And elijah were gone and they saw only jesus with them.
- 00:13:22.464 --> 00:13:26.602
- Have any of you ever had a mountaintop experience?
- 00:13:26.602 --> 00:13:30.606
- Okay, where were you just encountered
- 00:13:31.540 --> 00:13:33.642
- The presence of god, like you felt his heaviness.
- 00:13:33.642 --> 00:13:36.879
- You came in with addiction
- 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.714
- And you felt the addiction being ripped from you.
- 00:13:38.714 --> 00:13:42.150
- You came in with pain and hurt or maybe pride.
- 00:13:42.150 --> 00:13:45.587
- Or maybe you're so angry at somebody who hurt you
- 00:13:45.587 --> 00:13:48.257
- A long time ago, you don't know how to deal with it.
- 00:13:48.257 --> 00:13:50.459
- And god just met you right now.
- 00:13:50.459 --> 00:13:53.061
- This is the presence of god.
- 00:13:53.695 --> 00:13:54.730
- This is also the mountaintop experience.
- 00:13:54.730 --> 00:13:57.432
- And so here's what happens, especially within conferences.
- 00:13:57.432 --> 00:14:00.102
- We had this mountaintop experience,
- 00:14:00.102 --> 00:14:02.537
- And we're like, god, have all of me.
- 00:14:02.537 --> 00:14:04.406
- I want to be with you for an eternity.
- 00:14:04.406 --> 00:14:06.608
- I love you so much.
- 00:14:06.608 --> 00:14:08.043
- Thank you. jesus.
- 00:14:08.043 --> 00:14:10.112
- But we live in this world.
- 00:14:10.112 --> 00:14:13.282
- And even in this story
- 00:14:13.282 --> 00:14:14.316
- That had to come down the mountaintop.
- 00:14:14.316 --> 00:14:17.719
- You realize that in the story.
- 00:14:17.719 --> 00:14:20.889
- See, we will dwell on the mountaintop
- 00:14:20.889 --> 00:14:22.658
- In the kingdom of heaven.
- 00:14:22.658 --> 00:14:24.493
- That's where we dwell on the mountaintop forever.
- 00:14:24.493 --> 00:14:27.529
- But in this world, please listen.
- 00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:29.331
- You're going to live most of your life in the valleys.
- 00:14:29.331 --> 00:14:33.602
- You're going to live for most of your life in the trials.
- 00:14:33.602 --> 00:14:37.072
- Most of your life is going to be fighting for your faith.
- 00:14:37.072 --> 00:14:40.075
- Please listen to that.
- 00:14:40.075 --> 00:14:41.510
- You're actually fighting for your faith.
- 00:14:41.510 --> 00:14:43.478
- God, i don't know if i have what it takes to make it through.
- 00:14:43.478 --> 00:14:46.415
- You ever felt like that?
- 00:14:46.415 --> 00:14:48.417
- So i'm looking at the story
- 00:14:49.084 --> 00:14:51.119
- And they had this incredible experience.
- 00:14:51.119 --> 00:14:53.822
- And as soon as these men come down, these three men
- 00:14:53.822 --> 00:14:56.725
- Come down with jesus.
- 00:14:56.725 --> 00:14:58.393
- They encounter pain.
- 00:14:58.393 --> 00:15:01.830
- They encounter this pain and and disruption,
- 00:15:01.830 --> 00:15:04.733
- And they encounter
- 00:15:04.733 --> 00:15:06.034
- Demonic attacks immediately coming from the mountaintop.
- 00:15:06.034 --> 00:15:09.304
- Have you experienced that?
- 00:15:09.304 --> 00:15:11.807
- As soon as you come out of this, be prepared.
- 00:15:11.807 --> 00:15:15.344
- Spiritual warfare is real.
- 00:15:15.978 --> 00:15:17.479
- Every single day you fight for your soul.
- 00:15:17.479 --> 00:15:20.115
- Every single day you fight for your mind.
- 00:15:20.115 --> 00:15:22.017
- But don't you worry, the lord is with you.
- 00:15:22.017 --> 00:15:24.953
- He will strengthen you.
- 00:15:24.953 --> 00:15:26.088
- He will raise you up. he will fight the devil.
- 00:15:26.088 --> 00:15:28.790
- I want you to think of the holy spirit like a bodyguard.
- 00:15:28.790 --> 00:15:31.126
- Every time a demon comes up to you,
- 00:15:31.126 --> 00:15:32.494
- The holy spirit's like, nah, not today, satan.
- 00:15:32.494 --> 00:15:35.163
- You're not going to touch my person.
- 00:15:35.163 --> 00:15:37.199
- You're not going to touch him or her today.
- 00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:40.836
- But it
- 00:15:41.136 --> 00:15:42.137
- Doesn't mean you won't fight demons
- 00:15:42.137 --> 00:15:44.506
- Sometimes.
- 00:15:44.506 --> 00:15:45.807
- Sometimes you're called to deliver people from demons.
- 00:15:45.807 --> 00:15:48.176
- You know, it took me a long time
- 00:15:48.910 --> 00:15:51.213
- To realize that ministry
- 00:15:51.213 --> 00:15:53.882
- Took me a long time to know the voice of the holy spirit.
- 00:15:53.882 --> 00:15:57.285
- But i've realized in the valleys
- 00:15:58.020 --> 00:15:59.855
- Is where you encounter conflicts.
- 00:15:59.855 --> 00:16:03.191
- Please listen.
- 00:16:03.191 --> 00:16:04.192
- You encounter unanswered prayers. god.
- 00:16:04.192 --> 00:16:09.831
- Why aren't you doing what i need?
- 00:16:10.632 --> 00:16:13.935
- I, god, i've been praying for this over
- 00:16:13.935 --> 00:16:15.871
- And over again, and i just.
- 00:16:15.871 --> 00:16:17.439
- I just need you to help right now.
- 00:16:17.439 --> 00:16:18.807
- God and i just keep believing.
- 00:16:18.807 --> 00:16:20.208
- But nothing is really changing in my life.
- 00:16:20.208 --> 00:16:22.411
- Sometimes that's when you encounter helpless parents,
- 00:16:22.411 --> 00:16:25.647
- Broken people.
- 00:16:26.081 --> 00:16:28.383
- Because that's exactly what they encountered in this story.
- 00:16:28.383 --> 00:16:32.421
- See what i really want you to see today?
- 00:16:33.388 --> 00:16:34.823
- Even though the transfiguration is an amazing story,
- 00:16:34.823 --> 00:16:37.826
- I want you to really see chapter nine, verses 14 to 24.
- 00:16:37.826 --> 00:16:41.830
- When they came down.
- 00:16:41.830 --> 00:16:43.698
- So here's what happened in the rest of the story.
- 00:16:43.698 --> 00:16:46.568
- When they returned to the other disciples,
- 00:16:46.568 --> 00:16:49.404
- They saw a large crowd surrounding them,
- 00:16:49.404 --> 00:16:51.907
- And some teachers of religious law were arguing with them.
- 00:16:51.907 --> 00:16:56.044
- They're arguing, okay, jesus left them just for a day or so,
- 00:16:56.044 --> 00:17:01.716
- And now they come back and they're arguing.
- 00:17:01.716 --> 00:17:03.952
- When the crowd saw jesus, they were overwhelmed with all.
- 00:17:03.952 --> 00:17:07.522
- And they ran to greet him.
- 00:17:07.522 --> 00:17:09.291
- But he's asking the question, why are you arguing?
- 00:17:09.291 --> 00:17:12.461
- What's going on?
- 00:17:12.928 --> 00:17:17.232
- One of the men in the crowd
- 00:17:17.899 --> 00:17:19.067
- Spoke up and said, teacher.
- 00:17:19.067 --> 00:17:22.737
- Here, this teacher.
- 00:17:23.271 --> 00:17:25.073
- I brought my son so you could heal him.
- 00:17:25.073 --> 00:17:28.176
- He is possessed by an evil spirit
- 00:17:28.176 --> 00:17:30.912
- That won't let him talk.
- 00:17:30.912 --> 00:17:33.381
- And whenever the spirit seizes him,
- 00:17:33.381 --> 00:17:36.151
- It throws him violently to the ground.
- 00:17:36.151 --> 00:17:38.019
- Listen to the father's voice here, listen to the description.
- 00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:41.323
- And then he foams at the mouth, and he grinds his teeth
- 00:17:41.323 --> 00:17:45.093
- And becomes rigid.
- 00:17:45.093 --> 00:17:45.961
- So i ask your disciples,
- 00:17:45.961 --> 00:17:48.263
- You know the men that are following you,
- 00:17:48.263 --> 00:17:50.499
- The men that are right next to you, jesus,
- 00:17:50.499 --> 00:17:53.068
- And are with you all the time.
- 00:17:53.068 --> 00:17:54.503
- I ask them because i heard about the miracles that you're doing
- 00:17:54.503 --> 00:17:57.906
- And what you're doing in so many people's lives.
- 00:17:57.906 --> 00:18:00.375
- So i asked you
- 00:18:00.809 --> 00:18:01.843
- Disciples to cast out the evil spirits.
- 00:18:01.843 --> 00:18:04.813
- But they couldn't do it.
- 00:18:05.413 --> 00:18:08.350
- They couldn't do it.
- 00:18:08.350 --> 00:18:11.453
- And jesus said to them, now listen to the wording here.
- 00:18:11.453 --> 00:18:13.555
- I would love for you to underline this in your bibles.
- 00:18:13.555 --> 00:18:16.024
- Jesus said, you faithless people, that is big right there.
- 00:18:16.024 --> 00:18:19.561
- Okay, you faithless people,
- 00:18:19.561 --> 00:18:21.930
- How long must i put up with you?
- 00:18:21.930 --> 00:18:25.600
- How long must i be with you and bring the boy to me?
- 00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:30.172
- You gotta love it when jesus says that
- 00:18:30.172 --> 00:18:32.974
- When jesus speaks over your life,
- 00:18:32.974 --> 00:18:34.843
- You better bring your son to me.
- 00:18:34.843 --> 00:18:36.511
- You better bring your son to jesus.
- 00:18:36.511 --> 00:18:38.947
- When jesus says, bring your daughter to me,
- 00:18:38.947 --> 00:18:40.849
- The bring over your daughter to jesus.
- 00:18:40.849 --> 00:18:42.617
- When jesus says, here it is,
- 00:18:42.617 --> 00:18:45.520
- When even though it's been hurtful
- 00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:46.955
- And you're stubborn over this,
- 00:18:46.955 --> 00:18:48.023
- When jesus says, bring me your marriage,
- 00:18:48.023 --> 00:18:49.858
- You bring it over to jesus because
- 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.861
- Jesus can offer a healing that nobody else can offer.
- 00:18:52.861 --> 00:18:56.198
- But jesus must be the foundation.
- 00:18:56.198 --> 00:18:58.967
- So jesus said again, you faithless people,
- 00:18:58.967 --> 00:19:01.503
- How long must i be with you?
- 00:19:01.503 --> 00:19:02.804
- How long must have put up with you?
- 00:19:02.804 --> 00:19:04.005
- Bring the boy to me.
- 00:19:04.005 --> 00:19:05.373
- So they brought the boy.
- 00:19:05.373 --> 00:19:07.142
- But when the evil spirit saw jesus.
- 00:19:07.142 --> 00:19:09.344
- Now notice this.
- 00:19:09.344 --> 00:19:10.478
- It threw the child into a violent convulsion,
- 00:19:10.478 --> 00:19:13.148
- And he fell to the floor, writhing and foaming
- 00:19:13.148 --> 00:19:16.284
- At the mouth.
- 00:19:16.284 --> 00:19:20.922
- Now the miracles about to happen.
- 00:19:21.790 --> 00:19:25.460
- But the dad, in this moment
- 00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:27.262
- It seems something that he's always seen.
- 00:19:27.262 --> 00:19:30.665
- He doesn't know that his son's about to be healed.
- 00:19:30.665 --> 00:19:33.201
- In fact, you're about to see that after
- 00:19:33.201 --> 00:19:35.170
- This takes place, jesus speaks over him.
- 00:19:35.170 --> 00:19:37.405
- It also looks like his son is dead.
- 00:19:37.405 --> 00:19:40.408
- See, i believe a lot of times
- 00:19:41.076 --> 00:19:42.310
- We call upon jesus and we think, okay,
- 00:19:42.310 --> 00:19:44.412
- The miracle is going to be so perfect.
- 00:19:44.412 --> 00:19:46.147
- I'm going to receive exactly what i need right now.
- 00:19:46.147 --> 00:19:48.383
- But sometimes there's still some tension.
- 00:19:48.383 --> 00:19:51.453
- Sometime god waits just a little bit.
- 00:19:51.453 --> 00:19:53.121
- How much faith do you have? will you stay,
- 00:19:53.121 --> 00:19:55.790
- Or are you going to try to turn around
- 00:19:55.790 --> 00:19:56.992
- Because you don't understand what god is doing?
- 00:19:56.992 --> 00:19:59.761
- This is a testimony here and everybody's going to see it.
- 00:19:59.761 --> 00:20:04.032
- And so here we see this.
- 00:20:04.633 --> 00:20:06.568
- How long has this been happening?
- 00:20:06.568 --> 00:20:07.902
- Jesus asked the boy's father
- 00:20:07.902 --> 00:20:10.872
- And again, listen to the words of
- 00:20:10.872 --> 00:20:12.007
- The father since he was a little boy,
- 00:20:12.007 --> 00:20:15.210
- And the spirit often throws him into the fire,
- 00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:18.880
- Into the water, trying to kill him.
- 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.348
- Can you imagine?
- 00:20:20.348 --> 00:20:24.252
- Are you broken?
- 00:20:24.719 --> 00:20:27.956
- See a lot of parents in the room.
- 00:20:27.956 --> 00:20:30.925
- Some of you have asked for prayers over your child because
- 00:20:30.925 --> 00:20:34.329
- They've thought about suicide.
- 00:20:34.329 --> 00:20:37.432
- Some of you right now in the room,
- 00:20:37.432 --> 00:20:40.068
- There have been times the devil has tried
- 00:20:40.068 --> 00:20:41.903
- To get inside of your mind to tell you
- 00:20:41.903 --> 00:20:43.605
- That you're worthless.
- 00:20:43.605 --> 00:20:44.639
- You should just end it today.
- 00:20:44.639 --> 00:20:47.542
- That is a lie from the devil.
- 00:20:47.542 --> 00:20:50.478
- Healing can still happen.
- 00:20:50.478 --> 00:20:51.713
- And let me tell you, every praying
- 00:20:51.713 --> 00:20:52.981
- Parent in the room, don't you ever give up praying.
- 00:20:52.981 --> 00:20:56.017
- Just because you can't see the miracle today doesn't
- 00:20:56.017 --> 00:20:58.119
- Mean it's not coming.
- 00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.754
- You don't know what god is doing behind the scenes.
- 00:20:59.754 --> 00:21:02.457
- Again, the tension may be there, the heaviness may be there.
- 00:21:02.457 --> 00:21:05.460
- It may feel like there's still conflict.
- 00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:07.162
- But jesus is healing and jesus is doing things,
- 00:21:07.162 --> 00:21:10.398
- And you just keep pushing it out.
- 00:21:10.398 --> 00:21:12.267
- Every time the demons show up, god sent holy angels.
- 00:21:12.267 --> 00:21:16.338
- There's a spiritual
- 00:21:16.871 --> 00:21:17.739
- Battle going on.
- 00:21:17.739 --> 00:21:22.777
- The dad is really sad.
- 00:21:23.345 --> 00:21:25.180
- My son has been so hurt.
- 00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:26.448
- He's been thrown into the fire.
- 00:21:26.448 --> 00:21:28.717
- The demon tries to drown him.
- 00:21:28.717 --> 00:21:31.052
- Have mercy on us and help us now.
- 00:21:31.052 --> 00:21:33.054
- Now the dad is being so real.
- 00:21:33.054 --> 00:21:35.590
- If you can.
- 00:21:35.590 --> 00:21:38.960
- You know, jesus says,
- 00:21:39.494 --> 00:21:41.396
- I kind of wonder, like, did jesus smile a little bit?
- 00:21:41.396 --> 00:21:44.632
- You know what i mean?
- 00:21:44.632 --> 00:21:45.300
- Like, what do you mean?
- 00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:46.267
- If i can?
- 00:21:46.267 --> 00:21:48.970
- What did you just say?
- 00:21:48.970 --> 00:21:50.472
- Did you just say if i can?
- 00:21:50.472 --> 00:21:51.573
- Do you know who i am, right?
- 00:21:51.573 --> 00:21:53.675
- What do you mean, if i can? jesus asked.
- 00:21:53.675 --> 00:21:56.010
- Anything is possible if a person believes. who?
- 00:21:56.010 --> 00:22:03.017
- Because we serve the god of the impossible.
- 00:22:04.052 --> 00:22:06.855
- What you're seeing right here used to be impossible.
- 00:22:06.855 --> 00:22:10.091
- God is working.
- 00:22:10.558 --> 00:22:11.760
- So things in your life today, anything is possible.
- 00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:14.396
- If a person believes and the father hears, our love
- 00:22:14.396 --> 00:22:17.832
- Instantly cried out, i do believe,
- 00:22:17.832 --> 00:22:22.137
- But help my way,
- 00:22:22.604 --> 00:22:24.906
- My unbelief.
- 00:22:24.906 --> 00:22:26.007
- Help me overcome my unbelief.
- 00:22:26.007 --> 00:22:28.910
- I want to move by faith, but jesus, it doesn't look good.
- 00:22:28.910 --> 00:22:33.481
- I want to trust you with my life, my son,
- 00:22:34.482 --> 00:22:37.218
- Who i love so much, but i don't know and i need you.
- 00:22:37.218 --> 00:22:41.523
- God would rather you be real with him
- 00:22:41.523 --> 00:22:44.659
- And say you're struggling with your faith
- 00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:46.561
- Than to walk into church
- 00:22:46.561 --> 00:22:47.662
- Every sunday pretending you got it going on.
- 00:22:47.662 --> 00:22:51.032
- Because you can fool people.
- 00:22:51.032 --> 00:22:52.333
- You can't fool god.
- 00:22:52.333 --> 00:22:53.802
- You can smile to people.
- 00:22:53.802 --> 00:22:55.136
- God sees brokenness on the inside
- 00:22:55.136 --> 00:22:56.671
- And he's telling you over and over again,
- 00:22:56.671 --> 00:22:58.072
- When are you going to run to me?
- 00:22:58.072 --> 00:23:01.276
- Stop being embarrassed
- 00:23:01.843 --> 00:23:03.878
- Over the people around you don't matter your position.
- 00:23:03.878 --> 00:23:06.848
- Don't matter what you been doing
- 00:23:06.848 --> 00:23:08.383
- In the church or how you've been serving.
- 00:23:08.383 --> 00:23:09.951
- Run to me
- 00:23:09.951 --> 00:23:11.853
- Because that's how healing comes into your life.
- 00:23:11.853 --> 00:23:15.190
- I'm mountaintops,
- 00:23:15.690 --> 00:23:19.828
- Valleys.
- 00:23:20.161 --> 00:23:22.964
- Us pray god, open our eyes.
- 00:23:22.964 --> 00:23:25.967
- Let us be awake. and i feel like.
- 00:23:25.967 --> 00:23:27.502
- Here's what the lord revealed to me.
- 00:23:27.502 --> 00:23:29.170
- This is why my people would rather stay asleep.
- 00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:33.274
- Because they've had these mountaintop experiences.
- 00:23:34.442 --> 00:23:37.879
- They have praise the lord.
- 00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:39.280
- But they also woke up
- 00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:40.482
- In the middle of the night with a panic attack.
- 00:23:40.482 --> 00:23:43.685
- They praise jesus and felt set free,
- 00:23:43.685 --> 00:23:46.688
- And they knew that they were set free.
- 00:23:46.688 --> 00:23:48.122
- But when that old friend called you back
- 00:23:48.122 --> 00:23:51.025
- And you wanted to hang out a little bit and there was
- 00:23:51.025 --> 00:23:52.861
- Some temptation around you, you gave in to that temptation.
- 00:23:52.861 --> 00:23:55.864
- Now you feel like you're too far away from god.
- 00:23:55.864 --> 00:23:58.132
- God, i was on the mountaintop when i came to the conference.
- 00:23:58.132 --> 00:24:01.436
- I met you, but now i messed up again.
- 00:24:01.436 --> 00:24:06.841
- And here's what i want to see.
- 00:24:07.542 --> 00:24:08.510
- I want to see you free from addiction.
- 00:24:08.510 --> 00:24:13.114
- Because i know what it's like to see a family
- 00:24:14.182 --> 00:24:16.885
- Disrupted by the demons of addiction.
- 00:24:16.885 --> 00:24:20.788
- I've been open for years about my brother
- 00:24:21.789 --> 00:24:24.492
- And his addiction to alcohol.
- 00:24:24.492 --> 00:24:27.529
- And i feel like those demons stole
- 00:24:28.363 --> 00:24:29.864
- The relationship away from me with my own brother.
- 00:24:29.864 --> 00:24:33.868
- And some of you know
- 00:24:34.369 --> 00:24:35.203
- How how that feels.
- 00:24:35.203 --> 00:24:38.706
- But i've been praying for him.
- 00:24:39.407 --> 00:24:41.342
- My parents have been praying for him.
- 00:24:41.342 --> 00:24:42.610
- There's times i didn't even know if he was alive.
- 00:24:42.610 --> 00:24:45.513
- But not that long ago, he reached out and said,
- 00:24:45.513 --> 00:24:47.682
- You know what?
- 00:24:47.682 --> 00:24:48.283
- I found jesus christ.
- 00:24:48.283 --> 00:24:53.254
- And for the first time, he's alive.
- 00:24:54.122 --> 00:24:55.690
- For the first time we're talking, we're talking,
- 00:24:55.690 --> 00:24:58.459
- Praise god.
- 00:24:58.459 --> 00:24:59.961
- But listen, there's still struggles in this life
- 00:24:59.961 --> 00:25:02.630
- These days.
- 00:25:03.031 --> 00:25:03.831
- He said, you know, i felt again.
- 00:25:03.831 --> 00:25:05.366
- I said, it's okay. he's okay.
- 00:25:05.366 --> 00:25:06.501
- Get back up.
- 00:25:06.501 --> 00:25:08.970
- Keep following jesus.
- 00:25:08.970 --> 00:25:11.139
- But i'm just embarrassed.
- 00:25:11.139 --> 00:25:12.540
- It's okay. i'm proud of you.
- 00:25:12.540 --> 00:25:14.609
- Every time you get back up.
- 00:25:14.609 --> 00:25:15.743
- I'm proud of you.
- 00:25:15.743 --> 00:25:17.512
- Jesus is proud of you because you're still fighting.
- 00:25:17.512 --> 00:25:20.682
- But you got to believe the promise.
- 00:25:21.549 --> 00:25:22.684
- You don't lie
- 00:25:22.684 --> 00:25:24.052
- Because you never step in to a promise you don't believe.
- 00:25:24.052 --> 00:25:26.321
- So if you believe the lies, that's exactly where you stay.
- 00:25:26.321 --> 00:25:28.790
- But when you believe what god has for you,
- 00:25:28.790 --> 00:25:30.491
- And you believe that freedom is real,
- 00:25:30.491 --> 00:25:31.793
- You step into that freedom.
- 00:25:31.793 --> 00:25:34.295
- But that's a fight in your mind as well.
- 00:25:34.295 --> 00:25:37.465
- And so here's what i see.
- 00:25:37.465 --> 00:25:39.067
- I see that
- 00:25:39.067 --> 00:25:40.368
- A lot of us are fighting things like fear and anxiety.
- 00:25:40.368 --> 00:25:43.538
- And here's the thing those things use each other.
- 00:25:43.538 --> 00:25:46.708
- They seem similar, but
- 00:25:47.275 --> 00:25:48.610
- They're a little bit different because fear will attack us.
- 00:25:48.610 --> 00:25:51.579
- Fear is our response to life situations,
- 00:25:51.579 --> 00:25:55.149
- But anxiety is our response to imaginations.
- 00:25:55.149 --> 00:25:58.353
- Let me say that again.
- 00:25:58.920 --> 00:25:59.954
- Fear is a response to life situations,
- 00:25:59.954 --> 00:26:02.757
- What we're going through, the environment around us.
- 00:26:02.757 --> 00:26:05.560
- But when we have anxiety, it's fear in our imaginations.
- 00:26:05.560 --> 00:26:09.430
- What if this doesn't go well?
- 00:26:09.430 --> 00:26:12.634
- What if this job doesn't work out for me?
- 00:26:12.634 --> 00:26:15.269
- What if i move my life by faith and it all just
- 00:26:15.269 --> 00:26:19.107
- Crumbles to the ground?
- 00:26:19.107 --> 00:26:20.608
- What if it works?
- 00:26:20.608 --> 00:26:23.778
- What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
- 00:26:23.778 --> 00:26:27.448
- What do you want in your life?
- 00:26:27.448 --> 00:26:29.250
- Because a lot of us, when we stay still,
- 00:26:29.250 --> 00:26:30.818
- Gets what we have at the end of our life.
- 00:26:30.818 --> 00:26:32.286
- A lot of regrets, but i would rather move by faith
- 00:26:32.286 --> 00:26:36.057
- And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
- 00:26:36.057 --> 00:26:39.927
- And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
- 00:26:39.927 --> 00:26:44.866
- Because i'm
- 00:26:45.266 --> 00:26:46.300
- Not going to regret moving for the lord,
- 00:26:46.300 --> 00:26:49.003
- But i will regret never moving at all.
- 00:26:49.003 --> 00:26:52.573
- Okay, i want you to listen to this.
- 00:26:52.573 --> 00:26:53.741
- What paul said to young timothy about fear.
- 00:26:53.741 --> 00:26:57.111
- He said in second timothy chapter one verse seven, for god
- 00:26:57.111 --> 00:27:00.281
- Has not given us a spirit of fear
- 00:27:00.281 --> 00:27:02.283
- Or timidity, but power, love, and self-discipline.
- 00:27:02.283 --> 00:27:06.487
- You know why this is so good?
- 00:27:06.487 --> 00:27:09.157
- Do you realize what this scripture right here exposes it?
- 00:27:09.157 --> 00:27:12.126
- It exposes
- 00:27:12.126 --> 00:27:13.494
- Fear of the world does not come from our heavenly father.
- 00:27:13.494 --> 00:27:16.698
- And if it does not
- 00:27:17.198 --> 00:27:18.366
- Come from our heavenly father, it is not truth.
- 00:27:18.366 --> 00:27:21.469
- Did you hear that?
- 00:27:21.969 --> 00:27:23.104
- So the fear over this world, over what's happening
- 00:27:23.104 --> 00:27:26.374
- In our nation, over what's happening in your family,
- 00:27:26.374 --> 00:27:29.277
- What's happening in your future does not come from god.
- 00:27:29.277 --> 00:27:32.313
- Then it is a lie because fear is a liar and
- 00:27:32.313 --> 00:27:37.418
- All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
- 00:27:37.418 --> 00:27:39.821
- But i pray that today's message bless your life.
- 00:27:39.821 --> 00:27:43.558
- There is a reason you heard this word today.
- 00:27:43.558 --> 00:27:46.094
- It's not by mistake.
- 00:27:46.094 --> 00:27:47.562
- You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
- 00:27:47.562 --> 00:27:51.466
- And listen, if you love this church
- 00:27:51.466 --> 00:27:53.634
- And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
- 00:27:53.634 --> 00:27:56.537
- Is visit our website at bobbie chandler ministries.com.
- 00:27:56.537 --> 00:28:00.408
- And it's very easy to give.
- 00:28:00.408 --> 00:28:01.976
- And once you give, listen,
- 00:28:01.976 --> 00:28:03.377
- You're helping change lives because of your faithful giving.
- 00:28:03.377 --> 00:28:07.482
- We're able to reach not only the nation, but the world.
- 00:28:07.482 --> 00:28:11.219
- We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
- 00:28:11.219 --> 00:28:13.654
- Into everyone's home as much as we can,
- 00:28:13.654 --> 00:28:17.091
- So that they know the love of god.
- 00:28:17.091 --> 00:28:20.094
- And listen.
- 00:28:20.094 --> 00:28:21.362
- If you want to hear more sermons as well, don't forget
- 00:28:21.362 --> 00:28:23.030
- You can join us live every sunday, 815, 10:00, and 1145.
- 00:28:23.030 --> 00:28:28.369
- So thank you for watching today
- 00:28:28.369 --> 00:28:30.705
- And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
- 00:28:30.705 --> 00:28:33.674
- All right, before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
- 00:28:33.674 --> 00:28:36.244
- And this one's a big one.
- 00:28:36.244 --> 00:28:37.411
- Okay.
- 00:28:37.411 --> 00:28:37.845
- This year
- 00:28:37.845 --> 00:28:38.579
- We held
- 00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:39.947
- Our very first awaken conference in hickory, north carolina
- 00:28:39.947 --> 00:28:42.884
- For authentic church.
- 00:28:42.884 --> 00:28:44.085
- And we saw
- 00:28:44.085 --> 00:28:45.419
- People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
- 00:28:45.419 --> 00:28:49.123
- And even outside of the country
- 00:28:49.123 --> 00:28:50.825
- To experience what god is doing here.
- 00:28:50.825 --> 00:28:53.094
- So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
- 00:28:53.094 --> 00:28:58.499
- We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
- 00:28:58.499 --> 00:29:01.335
- And if you want to look into more details
- 00:29:01.335 --> 00:29:03.671
- Over the conference,
- 00:29:03.671 --> 00:29:04.806
- All you have to do is click the link below.
- 00:29:04.806 --> 00:29:06.407
- In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did
- 00:29:06.407 --> 00:29:10.845
- For. me?
- 00:29:11.179 --> 00:29:22.590
- Me. me.
- 00:29:22.924 --> 00:29:34.202
- And the
- 00:29:34.535 --> 00:29:35.503
- Reason i even bring it up tonight
- 00:29:35.503 --> 00:29:38.339
- Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
- 00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:43.077
- The gospel message is all about
- 00:29:43.077 --> 00:29:46.047
- Your understanding of the message about the man
- 00:29:46.047 --> 00:29:50.284
- Who will inform your methods of getting to know the man.
- 00:29:50.284 --> 00:30:23.417
- That this job doesn't work out for me.
- 00:30:24.352 --> 00:30:26.754
- What if i move my life by faith and it all just
- 00:30:26.754 --> 00:30:30.658
- Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
- 00:30:30.658 --> 00:30:33.361
- What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
- 00:30:33.361 --> 00:30:36.330
- But i would rather move by faith
- 00:30:36.330 --> 00:30:38.132
- And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
- 00:30:38.132 --> 00:30:42.003
- And i ended up exactly.
- 00:30:42.003 --> 00:30:43.204
- Where i needed to be.
- 00:30:43.204 --> 00:31:14.502
- You know what today is
- 00:31:15.069 --> 00:31:17.138
- Pentecost sunday.
- 00:31:17.138 --> 00:31:20.207
- Pentecost sunday.
- 00:31:20.708 --> 00:31:23.811
- Woo! you better
- 00:31:24.278 --> 00:31:26.314
- Not ask the holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
- 00:31:26.314 --> 00:31:30.051
- I came here to remind you
- 00:31:30.685 --> 00:31:32.453
- You need the holy spirit.
- 00:31:32.453 --> 00:32:01.882
- We need.
- 00:32:02.216 --> 00:32:02.216
