Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - I Think I'm Called ... But What Does That Even Mean (Part 2) | November 5, 2025

She. the biggest
00:00:00.433 --> 00:00:04.759
Killer to your calling is being impatient.
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.563
Rushing the process.
00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:10.365
Something you're not ready for.
00:00:10.365 --> 00:00:13.201
Your calling is called out by the holy spirit,
00:00:13.201 --> 00:00:16.371
But also recognized by godly people.
00:00:17.172 --> 00:00:20.008
So two weeks ago, we talked about clarity.
00:00:20.008 --> 00:00:22.444
God, again, is going to bring a spiritual burden on your heart.
00:00:22.444 --> 00:00:25.146
He's going to speak to you about something that you need to do.
00:00:25.146 --> 00:00:27.715
God may also use other people, godly people that are hearing
00:00:27.715 --> 00:00:31.186
From the lord to confirm what he's already spoken over you.
00:00:31.186 --> 00:00:34.722
Okay.
00:00:34.722 --> 00:00:35.390
And so when this happens,
00:00:35.390 --> 00:00:37.125
Listen, these godly people should pray over you
00:00:37.125 --> 00:00:39.894
And send you off and help you on what god has called you to do.
00:00:39.894 --> 00:00:44.399
Listen to this.
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.200
Acts chapter 13, verse two and three.
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.502
Here's an example of this.
00:00:47.502 --> 00:00:49.270
One day, as these men were worshiping the lord and fasting,
00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:52.574
The holy spirit said, appoint barnabas
00:00:52.574 --> 00:00:56.978
And saul for the special work that i have called them.
00:00:56.978 --> 00:01:00.949
They've been called to do this,
00:01:00.949 --> 00:01:02.984
The special work that i've called them to do.
00:01:02.984 --> 00:01:04.953
So after more fasting and prayer,
00:01:04.953 --> 00:01:06.754
The men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way.
00:01:06.754 --> 00:01:11.993
The holy spirit spoke.
00:01:11.993 --> 00:01:14.062
They prayed together.
00:01:14.062 --> 00:01:15.530
The men heard from god,
00:01:15.530 --> 00:01:16.931
Laid hands on them, sent them on their way.
00:01:16.931 --> 00:01:20.468
Okay, this is important.
00:01:20.468 --> 00:01:21.769
And i'm going to say this lovingly, okay.
00:01:21.769 --> 00:01:24.372
Because sometimes we can be i feel like we need to go here
00:01:24.372 --> 00:01:27.542
Delusional about our gifts.
00:01:27.542 --> 00:01:30.145
Let's be honest for a second.
00:01:30.778 --> 00:01:31.946
We don't like to go to this route, but we need to hear it.
00:01:31.946 --> 00:01:34.682
We can become delusional about our gifts
00:01:34.682 --> 00:01:36.918
Because we want something so badly
00:01:36.918 --> 00:01:40.355
What somebody else has or is good at,
00:01:40.355 --> 00:01:42.624
And we have lied to ourselves
00:01:42.624 --> 00:01:44.459
Saying that we are good at the same thing and we're not.
00:01:44.459 --> 00:01:47.662
Listen, i get it.
00:01:48.096 --> 00:01:48.830
You may come in here and say,
00:01:48.830 --> 00:01:50.031
I'm called to be a worship pastor, and i love to sing.
00:01:50.031 --> 00:01:53.301
Listen, i know you love to sing.
00:01:53.301 --> 00:01:54.402
You can sing outside as long as you want to.
00:01:54.402 --> 00:01:57.005
Like it's going to be okay.
00:01:57.005 --> 00:01:58.206
But singing on the stage, leading
00:01:58.206 --> 00:01:59.941
People may not be your calling.
00:01:59.941 --> 00:02:01.743
You okay with that?
00:02:01.743 --> 00:02:03.811
You may love singing over to the lord.
00:02:03.811 --> 00:02:05.780
That's fine, but it may not be your specific calling.
00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:09.617
If it's not the specific talent god has given you.
00:02:09.617 --> 00:02:14.522
And even though it may sound tough,
00:02:14.522 --> 00:02:15.823
Listen, it's protection of your life
00:02:15.823 --> 00:02:17.959
Because it could be easy to mistake your cravings for
00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:21.629
A calling.
00:02:21.629 --> 00:02:23.231
I'm telling you right now,
00:02:23.798 --> 00:02:25.333
Looking at someone else's life, i crave that platform.
00:02:25.333 --> 00:02:28.903
I crave what they have.
00:02:28.903 --> 00:02:30.338
I crave that relationship.
00:02:30.338 --> 00:02:31.873
I crave.
00:02:31.873 --> 00:02:34.242
You don't know what they've been through.
00:02:34.242 --> 00:02:37.178
God gave them the platform.
00:02:37.178 --> 00:02:38.413
You have no clue what they've been through
00:02:38.413 --> 00:02:40.548
Or how many years they've served.
00:02:40.548 --> 00:02:42.450
How many years they were forgotten,
00:02:42.450 --> 00:02:43.885
How many trials
00:02:43.885 --> 00:02:45.053
That they've been through to even be on that platform.
00:02:45.053 --> 00:02:47.555
You have no idea.
00:02:47.555 --> 00:02:48.456
So trust god in your situation too,
00:02:48.456 --> 00:02:51.492
And what he's doing through you.
00:02:51.492 --> 00:02:53.528
Listen, don't mistake your craving for a calling.
00:02:53.528 --> 00:02:55.897
And let's be real.
00:02:55.897 --> 00:02:56.965
There's no one in your circle
00:02:56.965 --> 00:02:59.434
Who loves you enough to say, you know what?
00:02:59.434 --> 00:03:01.903
I don't think that's good for you.
00:03:01.903 --> 00:03:03.738
I don't think this is your lane.
00:03:03.738 --> 00:03:04.906
Then you might need to find a new circle.
00:03:04.906 --> 00:03:07.375
Okay?
00:03:07.375 --> 00:03:08.576
Because truth is, love that will benefit you and bless you.
00:03:08.576 --> 00:03:12.647
You don't need fake hype.
00:03:12.647 --> 00:03:14.716
You don't need people
00:03:15.216 --> 00:03:16.351
Hyping you up everywhere
00:03:16.351 --> 00:03:17.685
You go, knowing you're going to look a fool.
00:03:17.685 --> 00:03:20.121
Because really, that's not a friend.
00:03:20.121 --> 00:03:21.456
They just want to see your downfall.
00:03:21.456 --> 00:03:23.258
They'll tell you all the things that you want to hear.
00:03:23.258 --> 00:03:24.993
Hey, it's going to go great for you knowing that
00:03:24.993 --> 00:03:27.362
You're not talented in this area and it may fall apart.
00:03:27.362 --> 00:03:31.599
Also, knowing you're not ready.
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.002
The bible words it like this.
00:03:34.002 --> 00:03:35.903
Proverbs chapter 27, verse six.
00:03:35.903 --> 00:03:38.139
Words from a sincere, sincere friend.
00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:41.476
Excuse me.
00:03:41.776 --> 00:03:42.677
Wounds from a sincere friend are better
00:03:42.677 --> 00:03:45.313
Than many kisses from an enemy.
00:03:45.313 --> 00:03:48.783
It's better.
00:03:49.117 --> 00:03:50.652
It's better to have real friends
00:03:50.652 --> 00:03:52.086
That will put you in your place.
00:03:52.086 --> 00:03:53.655
Sometimes i don't feel good in the moment.
00:03:53.655 --> 00:03:55.657
Doesn't.
00:03:55.657 --> 00:03:56.958
But later on, you're going to be thankful for.
00:03:56.958 --> 00:03:59.327
Because there may be people pretending to be your friends
00:03:59.327 --> 00:04:01.429
That just want to see your downfall.
00:04:01.429 --> 00:04:04.232
And so i took a lot of time today
00:04:04.932 --> 00:04:06.234
In today's message for you, before we even get to the story
00:04:06.234 --> 00:04:09.304
Clarifying a calling. why?
00:04:09.304 --> 00:04:10.938
Because here's the heaviness
00:04:10.938 --> 00:04:12.607
That i feel when it comes to the subject itself
00:04:12.607 --> 00:04:15.710
A calling from god.
00:04:15.710 --> 00:04:17.011
Please listen.
00:04:17.011 --> 00:04:17.812
It's going to cost you everything.
00:04:17.812 --> 00:04:21.049
So it can't be about the platform.
00:04:21.816 --> 00:04:25.019
It can't be about the superficial things
00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:27.121
Because those things fade.
00:04:27.121 --> 00:04:29.190
A true calling from god will cost you everything.
00:04:29.190 --> 00:04:33.261
And so if you have your bibles, you can turn to first kings
00:04:33.261 --> 00:04:36.264
Chapter 18 and 19.
00:04:36.264 --> 00:04:37.565
That's kind of where we'll be.
00:04:37.565 --> 00:04:38.633
I'm just going to review and 18 very quickly.
00:04:38.633 --> 00:04:41.569
But i want to talk about two prophets, two men of god
00:04:41.569 --> 00:04:45.373
Who saw miraculous things from the lord.
00:04:45.373 --> 00:04:47.842
Almost sounds like the same person, elijah and elijah.
00:04:47.842 --> 00:04:51.579
Okay, some of you confused ones with the j ones with an s h.
00:04:51.579 --> 00:04:55.183
Okay, now i do want to make it clear elijah is the og.
00:04:55.183 --> 00:04:59.387
He is the original gangster prophet like you.
00:05:00.321 --> 00:05:02.323
Do not mess with elijah.
00:05:02.323 --> 00:05:04.125
As soon as he walks into the room,
00:05:04.125 --> 00:05:05.593
He's calling fire down from heaven
00:05:05.593 --> 00:05:07.729
Like he's making i love this story
00:05:07.729 --> 00:05:09.564
And at first kings
00:05:09.564 --> 00:05:10.832
Chapter 18, because you got 450 prophets of baal, you got these
00:05:10.832 --> 00:05:13.334
Prophets of a share, a asherah, i mean,
00:05:13.334 --> 00:05:16.204
And they're all like, you know what
00:05:16.204 --> 00:05:17.739
We're going to call upon bell,
00:05:17.739 --> 00:05:19.273
And bell is going to bring fire upon the altar.
00:05:19.273 --> 00:05:21.509
And so they'd be loud
00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:23.111
And they're cutting themselves in the scripture,
00:05:23.111 --> 00:05:25.046
And they're doing all this witchcraft and stuff like that.
00:05:25.046 --> 00:05:27.415
And elijah is over there, like laughing at them,
00:05:27.415 --> 00:05:29.684
Like, y'all cute, you know, like he's
00:05:29.684 --> 00:05:31.853
He's like, you want to keep calling you god.
00:05:31.853 --> 00:05:33.488
Do you want to show up today? maybe he's using the bathroom.
00:05:33.488 --> 00:05:35.923
That's literally what elijah was saying.
00:05:35.923 --> 00:05:38.993
Like, when is your god going to show up?
00:05:38.993 --> 00:05:41.496
It going to help your situation.
00:05:41.496 --> 00:05:43.865
And so finally, nothing happens.
00:05:43.865 --> 00:05:46.134
And so elijah pretty much calls down fire
00:05:46.134 --> 00:05:48.603
From heaven like a barbecue competition.
00:05:48.603 --> 00:05:50.338
Like it's pretty cool.
00:05:50.338 --> 00:05:51.706
Like with me first kings chapter 1836 through 38.
00:05:51.706 --> 00:05:55.276
And i was elijah's turn.
00:05:55.276 --> 00:05:56.344
Elijah the prophet walked up
00:05:56.344 --> 00:05:59.213
To the altar
00:05:59.547 --> 00:06:01.516
And he prayed, o lord god of abraham,
00:06:01.516 --> 00:06:04.752
Isaac and jacob, prove today
00:06:04.752 --> 00:06:07.522
That you are god and israel, that i am your servant.
00:06:07.522 --> 00:06:11.292
Listen to the wording.
00:06:11.292 --> 00:06:12.627
There.
00:06:12.627 --> 00:06:15.129
As risky,
00:06:15.129 --> 00:06:17.598
If god doesn't show up, he dies.
00:06:17.598 --> 00:06:20.501
He's killed
00:06:20.501 --> 00:06:22.203
Queen jezebel.
00:06:22.203 --> 00:06:23.371
King ahab have no problem killing the prophets of god.
00:06:23.371 --> 00:06:25.773
They've already done it.
00:06:25.773 --> 00:06:28.142
Elijah is one of the few left.
00:06:28.142 --> 00:06:30.244
And so imagine the way he's feeling it.
00:06:30.244 --> 00:06:32.847
Yes, he made fun of them,
00:06:32.847 --> 00:06:34.415
But at the same time, now it's his turn.
00:06:34.415 --> 00:06:36.150
And you know the pressure that
00:06:36.150 --> 00:06:39.053
God made me please
00:06:39.053 --> 00:06:41.889
God, show them that you're real.
00:06:41.889 --> 00:06:44.659
God, please prove to them that i'm your servant,
00:06:44.659 --> 00:06:46.694
That i'm hearing from you in this moment.
00:06:46.694 --> 00:06:49.430
Prove that i have done all that you command.
00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:51.466
Lord. answer me. answer me!
00:06:51.466 --> 00:06:52.934
So these people will know that you are lord or god,
00:06:52.934 --> 00:06:55.770
That you have brought them back to yourself.
00:06:55.770 --> 00:06:57.972
That's grace.
00:06:57.972 --> 00:06:59.307
Because the people of israel at this time had been worshiping
00:07:00.475 --> 00:07:03.211
Idols, have been giving into prostitution,
00:07:03.211 --> 00:07:07.548
Have been sacrificing their children,
00:07:07.548 --> 00:07:10.451
Doing demonic witchcraft.
00:07:10.451 --> 00:07:12.253
They had ran away from god.
00:07:12.253 --> 00:07:13.788
And god is still giving them a chance to come back.
00:07:13.788 --> 00:07:17.425
And that crazy god is always giving us
00:07:17.425 --> 00:07:19.994
The opportunity to run back into his arms to be saved.
00:07:19.994 --> 00:07:23.798
Lord, answer me so that they know that
00:07:23.798 --> 00:07:26.400
You are the one true god.
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:29.937
And immediately it states, the fire of the lord
00:07:29.937 --> 00:07:33.474
Flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull,
00:07:33.474 --> 00:07:37.912
The wood, the stones, and the dust.
00:07:37.912 --> 00:07:40.047
It even licked up all the water in the trench,
00:07:40.047 --> 00:07:41.983
Because he had poured water on the altar.
00:07:41.983 --> 00:07:44.018
And when all the people saw that fell face
00:07:44.018 --> 00:07:45.853
Down on the ground and cried out, the lord, he is god!
00:07:45.853 --> 00:07:49.190
Yes, the lord is god.
00:07:49.190 --> 00:07:51.058
And 450 prophets of baal die.
00:07:51.692 --> 00:07:55.062
What's interesting after this story?
00:07:55.062 --> 00:07:57.131
There has been a drought for a very long time
00:07:57.131 --> 00:07:58.733
Because elijah elijah had spoken
00:07:58.733 --> 00:08:00.368
Over the nation of israel because of their rebellion.
00:08:00.368 --> 00:08:02.470
Now he said, get ready for water
00:08:02.470 --> 00:08:04.906
Right after this miracle.
00:08:04.906 --> 00:08:06.707
And then a storm came and did.
00:08:06.707 --> 00:08:09.577
I love it just ends with this really
00:08:09.577 --> 00:08:11.112
Spectacular story at the very end.
00:08:11.112 --> 00:08:13.481
Elijah is like, look, i can beat king ahab home
00:08:13.481 --> 00:08:16.651
In his chariot of horses. like, let's bet right now.
00:08:16.651 --> 00:08:19.220
And then he all of a sudden god gives him supernatural speed,
00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:22.957
And he literally outruns king ahab.
00:08:22.957 --> 00:08:25.993
King ahab's on a chariot of horses, and the outruns him.
00:08:25.993 --> 00:08:28.529
It's pretty amazing.
00:08:28.529 --> 00:08:32.133
But if you want to talk about a calling from god
00:08:33.134 --> 00:08:35.870
Right after this, the reason why i love this story so much
00:08:35.870 --> 00:08:38.906
Is because right after a supernatural high came
00:08:38.906 --> 00:08:41.442
A supernatural low
00:08:41.442 --> 00:08:44.211
A spiritual war,
00:08:44.612 --> 00:08:46.881
That he had a fight because once queen jezebel, the evil queen,
00:08:46.881 --> 00:08:50.518
This pagan woman found out what, elijah had done.
00:08:50.518 --> 00:08:55.423
And she said, listen, i'm going to do to you
00:08:55.423 --> 00:08:56.891
What you have done to them, and i'm going to come kill you.
00:08:56.891 --> 00:08:58.759
And this man of god,
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.061
Who was so bold before, now runs into the wilderness.
00:09:00.061 --> 00:09:02.697
And he says, god, please kill me.
00:09:02.697 --> 00:09:06.467
That's what, according to
00:09:07.034 --> 00:09:09.937
That's why we're not playing games with this.
00:09:09.937 --> 00:09:12.506
That's why it can't be about a platform or
00:09:12.506 --> 00:09:15.576
Something superficial that will fade away,
00:09:15.576 --> 00:09:18.312
Because you will experience a supernatural high.
00:09:18.312 --> 00:09:21.282
And right after that,
00:09:21.282 --> 00:09:22.416
You may run into the wilderness and ask god to kill you
00:09:22.416 --> 00:09:25.086
Because you're tired of fighting
00:09:25.086 --> 00:09:26.721
Against the attacks that keep coming.
00:09:26.721 --> 00:09:29.223
He saw the lord move, and
00:09:29.790 --> 00:09:31.459
Then he immediately faces depression and anxiety.
00:09:31.459 --> 00:09:36.263
He says, god, i can't do this.
00:09:36.263 --> 00:09:37.798
I'm the only one left.
00:09:37.798 --> 00:09:39.133
That is a calling.
00:09:39.133 --> 00:09:41.636
That's what ministry feels like.
00:09:41.636 --> 00:09:44.538
That's what it's really like for your life.
00:09:44.538 --> 00:09:46.073
When you follow the lord
00:09:46.073 --> 00:09:48.442
And god is good, you can call upon jesus and
00:09:48.442 --> 00:09:50.511
And an angel shows up and he starts feeding him.
00:09:50.511 --> 00:09:53.614
God will bring you food and that.
00:09:53.614 --> 00:09:54.882
Cool.
00:09:54.882 --> 00:09:56.817
And then and then the thing about the story
00:09:56.817 --> 00:09:58.252
Is that elijah goes again the opposite direction,
00:09:58.252 --> 00:10:01.455
And he goes to this cave
00:10:01.989 --> 00:10:04.625
And he sees these supernatural wonders and signs.
00:10:04.625 --> 00:10:08.462
But healing came to a whisper.
00:10:09.063 --> 00:10:11.799
And so i want to share this part of the story with you.
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.202
First kings chapter 1913 to 16.
00:10:15.202 --> 00:10:18.172
When elijah,
00:10:18.172 --> 00:10:19.674
When elijah heard it.
00:10:20.174 --> 00:10:22.510
Okay, underline this right here.
00:10:22.510 --> 00:10:23.544
He wrapped his face in his cloak,
00:10:23.544 --> 00:10:26.580
Circle the cloak.
00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:28.616
So remember that,
00:10:28.616 --> 00:10:30.351
And went out and stood at the entrance of the cave
00:10:30.351 --> 00:10:32.286
And a voice said, what are you doing here?
00:10:32.286 --> 00:10:33.821
Elijah?
00:10:33.821 --> 00:10:36.590
Have you heard that before?
00:10:36.590 --> 00:10:39.627
What are you doing there?
00:10:39.627 --> 00:10:42.530
Why are you running away?
00:10:42.530 --> 00:10:45.066
Why are you hiding?
00:10:45.066 --> 00:10:47.168
Are you back here again?
00:10:47.168 --> 00:10:48.135
What are you doing? right?
00:10:48.135 --> 00:10:51.305
And he replied again, i have zealously served you god,
00:10:51.305 --> 00:10:54.809
The lord, god almighty.
00:10:54.809 --> 00:10:55.843
But the people of israel have broken the covenant
00:10:55.843 --> 00:10:57.745
With you, torn down your altars, have killed
00:10:57.745 --> 00:10:59.747
Every one of your prophets, and i'm the only one left.
00:10:59.747 --> 00:11:04.518
And now they're trying to kill me too.
00:11:04.518 --> 00:11:06.721
Then the lord told him, go back
00:11:06.721 --> 00:11:10.291
The same way you came.
00:11:10.758 --> 00:11:11.792
Imagine how hard that was to hear.
00:11:11.792 --> 00:11:14.528
Go back to the exact location you ran away from,
00:11:14.528 --> 00:11:18.933
To the people who want to torture you and hurt you,
00:11:18.933 --> 00:11:21.402
To the people who want to attack you,
00:11:21.402 --> 00:11:23.037
There's still something you need to do.
00:11:23.037 --> 00:11:26.774
The calling is still for your life.
00:11:26.774 --> 00:11:29.810
Go back the same way you came
00:11:29.810 --> 00:11:32.413
And travel to the wilderness of damascus,
00:11:32.413 --> 00:11:35.015
And when you arrive, anoint hazel to be the king of aram.
00:11:35.015 --> 00:11:39.353
I mean, you can't give up now.
00:11:39.353 --> 00:11:40.755
The assignment is not finished. but listen to this.
00:11:40.755 --> 00:11:42.990
But when you get there, also anoint
00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:46.160
This man named elijah,
00:11:46.160 --> 00:11:48.262
Son of shea.
00:11:48.262 --> 00:11:49.029
Fact from the town of abel mahola
00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:52.166
To a place you as my prophet.
00:11:52.166 --> 00:11:54.401
Here's what he's doing.
00:11:54.401 --> 00:11:55.402
He's giving him guidance and helping him
00:11:55.402 --> 00:11:57.304
Listen, i know that you're tired,
00:11:57.304 --> 00:11:59.173
But i'm going to use you to raise up another prophet
00:11:59.173 --> 00:12:02.643
That the assignment is not done.
00:12:03.277 --> 00:12:04.645
But you're going to miss out on this opportunity.
00:12:04.645 --> 00:12:06.213
You're going to miss out on the signs
00:12:06.213 --> 00:12:07.515
And the miracles that i want to do.
00:12:07.515 --> 00:12:08.983
In the end, i still need you to go back.
00:12:08.983 --> 00:12:11.685
I still need you to be strong.
00:12:11.685 --> 00:12:13.821
I will be your strength,
00:12:13.821 --> 00:12:17.091
But go back
00:12:17.091 --> 00:12:19.059
And meet this man.
00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:19.827
And so very quickly,
00:12:19.827 --> 00:12:21.796
At the end of my sermon today, i have two points
00:12:21.796 --> 00:12:23.964
That i want to close this out with.
00:12:23.964 --> 00:12:24.999
Okay, the first point is this you're called
00:12:24.999 --> 00:12:28.636
When the cloak finds you.
00:12:28.636 --> 00:12:31.705
You're called when the cloak finds you.
00:12:31.705 --> 00:12:35.042
Some of you are looking at me right now
00:12:35.042 --> 00:12:36.343
Like, i don't know what that means.
00:12:36.343 --> 00:12:37.444
Okay. all right.
00:12:37.444 --> 00:12:38.612
Let's keep reading.
00:12:38.612 --> 00:12:39.747
I believe it's going to give you a big revelation. okay.
00:12:39.747 --> 00:12:42.183
First kings 1919.
00:12:42.183 --> 00:12:43.717
Here's what happened.
00:12:43.717 --> 00:12:44.685
After that, elijah went and found elijah,
00:12:44.685 --> 00:12:47.822
Son of shea fat plowing a field.
00:12:48.455 --> 00:12:51.292
What's he doing?
00:12:51.292 --> 00:12:52.159
He's plowing a field. he's working.
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.094
There were 12 teams of oxen in the field, and elijah
00:12:54.094 --> 00:12:57.264
Was plowing with the 12 of them are the 12 team.
00:12:57.264 --> 00:13:01.569
Now stop right there.
00:13:01.569 --> 00:13:03.070
We read this. we're like, bro, i'm not a farmer.
00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:04.939
I don't i don't know what this means.
00:13:04.939 --> 00:13:06.240
What's the significance of this?
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.441
Okay, okay, look at this again.
00:13:07.441 --> 00:13:10.144
Understand something important.
00:13:10.144 --> 00:13:11.145
This is not him piddling in a small field.
00:13:11.145 --> 00:13:13.814
Elijah is plowing with 12 pairs of oxen,
00:13:13.814 --> 00:13:17.751
Meaning he's got 24 oxen, which means he has a massive field.
00:13:17.751 --> 00:13:22.723
The context here
00:13:22.723 --> 00:13:23.891
Helps us to realize that it's a big possibility
00:13:23.891 --> 00:13:26.760
That elijah came from a family of wealth.
00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:30.464
To have this much oxen and this much land,
00:13:30.464 --> 00:13:33.667
This massive field means that he has to have money.
00:13:33.667 --> 00:13:36.871
So hear me out, okay?
00:13:36.871 --> 00:13:38.138
Elijah comes from a family, a wealth, maybe status, comfort,
00:13:38.138 --> 00:13:42.676
Stability, and maybe everything we're praying for right now,
00:13:42.676 --> 00:13:46.647
Everything that we
00:13:47.081 --> 00:13:47.982
Want that we think would fulfill our life.
00:13:47.982 --> 00:13:51.118
But here's what god has shown me.
00:13:51.118 --> 00:13:52.753
Just because you believe life is good
00:13:52.753 --> 00:13:54.955
Doesn't mean that god doesn't have more for you.
00:13:54.955 --> 00:13:58.392
Just because everything is good in your life right now,
00:13:58.392 --> 00:14:00.394
And you got some comfort,
00:14:00.394 --> 00:14:01.629
Doesn't mean that god doesn't have more for you.
00:14:01.629 --> 00:14:04.765
In fact, comfort can be an enemy of your calling
00:14:04.765 --> 00:14:08.235
Can hold you back.
00:14:08.669 --> 00:14:10.571
Elijah had it all.
00:14:10.571 --> 00:14:12.573
Look at the text.
00:14:12.573 --> 00:14:13.173
He's not desperate.
00:14:13.173 --> 00:14:15.075
He's not praying to god for a breakthrough.
00:14:15.075 --> 00:14:16.810
Like, please help me. like i got to get out of here.
00:14:16.810 --> 00:14:19.146
Dealing with his oxen is probably stinks.
00:14:19.146 --> 00:14:22.483
And let's be honest here, too.
00:14:22.483 --> 00:14:23.584
It's not glamorous either.
00:14:23.584 --> 00:14:25.886
Like he's not known as a miracle worker.
00:14:25.886 --> 00:14:27.788
He's he's not known as a prophet.
00:14:28.522 --> 00:14:29.924
He's just a guy plowing a field.
00:14:29.924 --> 00:14:31.659
It's comfortable,
00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:33.460
But he smelly oxen dung all day long, you know, like that's
00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:36.530
That's his day. that's what he wakes up to look forward to.
00:14:36.530 --> 00:14:38.465
And that's that's what's happening.
00:14:38.465 --> 00:14:40.334
God still called him.
00:14:40.334 --> 00:14:42.670
You know what i love about that?
00:14:42.670 --> 00:14:43.437
He has no idea.
00:14:43.437 --> 00:14:47.141
God can take
00:14:47.474 --> 00:14:48.475
What's ordinary and do something extraordinary.
00:14:48.475 --> 00:14:51.412
It may seem like a regular day to you,
00:14:52.246 --> 00:14:53.881
But you have no idea what's on god's calendar
00:14:53.881 --> 00:14:56.917
To meet you today and to change your life forever.
00:14:56.917 --> 00:14:59.820
Because that's what we see
00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:01.055
Out of the bible over and over again.
00:15:01.055 --> 00:15:03.157
He's just a guy plowing a field,
00:15:03.157 --> 00:15:05.559
And then all of a sudden listen to what elijah did
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.629
First kings chapter 19, verse 19 elijah
00:15:08.629 --> 00:15:10.998
Went over to him, threw his cloak across his shoulders.
00:15:10.998 --> 00:15:14.301
Then he walked away, and that powerful.
00:15:14.301 --> 00:15:17.671
Let's be honest, it's weird.
00:15:17.671 --> 00:15:19.640
Let's be very honest.
00:15:20.140 --> 00:15:21.608
Like he's sweaty.
00:15:21.608 --> 00:15:22.910
He's working. that's the way i picture it.
00:15:22.910 --> 00:15:25.212
And elijah just walks over there, gets his cloak.
00:15:25.212 --> 00:15:28.282
There you go.
00:15:28.282 --> 00:15:29.483
But yeah, he walks away like the bible doesn't even said.
00:15:29.483 --> 00:15:32.653
They spoke
00:15:32.653 --> 00:15:34.288
Like i don't even know
00:15:34.288 --> 00:15:35.389
If elijah walked up to him and said, hey, man, hey,
00:15:35.389 --> 00:15:37.324
What's your five year plan?
00:15:37.324 --> 00:15:38.993
You thinking about bible college?
00:15:38.993 --> 00:15:40.894
Like, are you thinking about preaching or anything like that?
00:15:40.894 --> 00:15:43.664
Yeah. you got a plan for this? no.
00:15:43.664 --> 00:15:45.232
He knew because he already heard from the lord.
00:15:45.232 --> 00:15:47.968
He walks up to elijah, drops the cloak on him,
00:15:47.968 --> 00:15:51.472
And now elijah is covered with this cloak.
00:15:51.472 --> 00:15:56.543
I'm going to go ahead and get there.
00:15:57.311 --> 00:15:59.513
There's a point because i was thinking like, wow, go back.
00:15:59.513 --> 00:16:03.217
Right.
00:16:03.417 --> 00:16:04.518
Elijah, when he was running from god and in the cave,
00:16:04.518 --> 00:16:07.021
What did he wrap around his face?
00:16:07.021 --> 00:16:09.690
The cloak.
00:16:09.990 --> 00:16:11.725
The cloak encountered the presence of god.
00:16:11.725 --> 00:16:14.862
And so what elijah is doing,
00:16:15.462 --> 00:16:17.131
He's not just placing the cloak on him to say,
00:16:17.131 --> 00:16:18.966
Hey, you're going to have my position.
00:16:18.966 --> 00:16:20.834
He's placing upon him to say, you're going to encounter
00:16:20.834 --> 00:16:24.038
God's presence.
00:16:24.405 --> 00:16:26.673
You're going to encounter yahweh.
00:16:26.673 --> 00:16:29.443
The same cloak that covered my face now covers you.
00:16:29.443 --> 00:16:32.946
That's the anointing.
00:16:33.447 --> 00:16:34.581
That's the calling that god has placed on your life.
00:16:34.581 --> 00:16:38.352
And elijah know it.
00:16:38.352 --> 00:16:41.622
He knew it from the very beginning.
00:16:41.622 --> 00:16:43.690
I knew what the cloak meant.
00:16:43.690 --> 00:16:45.159
First kings chapter 19, verse 20 tells us,
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:46.894
Elijah left the oxen standing there, ran
00:16:46.894 --> 00:16:49.430
After elijah, and said to him,
00:16:49.430 --> 00:16:50.998
First, let me go and kiss my father and mother goodbye.
00:16:50.998 --> 00:16:53.567
He knew what it meant.
00:16:53.567 --> 00:16:55.502
Let me go and kiss him goodbye.
00:16:55.502 --> 00:16:57.538
And elijah said, you know what?
00:16:58.172 --> 00:16:59.440
Go ahead.
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:00.507
Go on back and think about what i've done for you.
00:17:00.507 --> 00:17:02.910
Some translations did it like this.
00:17:02.910 --> 00:17:04.411
Elijah said, listen, i'm not stopping you.
00:17:04.411 --> 00:17:07.147
Go home.
00:17:07.147 --> 00:17:08.649
Tell him you love him.
00:17:08.649 --> 00:17:11.085
Listen, you know what i realized out of the bible?
00:17:11.085 --> 00:17:13.787
God calls the faithful, not the lazy.
00:17:13.787 --> 00:17:16.890
Like a lot of us right now, we're like, god, do this,
00:17:17.891 --> 00:17:20.027
Do that, and please help me here.
00:17:20.027 --> 00:17:21.895
Yet we're sitting down.
00:17:21.895 --> 00:17:24.431
We're not moving.
00:17:24.431 --> 00:17:26.233
We're not serving.
00:17:26.233 --> 00:17:27.701
We're not believing.
00:17:27.701 --> 00:17:28.869
Very quickly, out of the bible, gideon was threshing wheat
00:17:28.869 --> 00:17:32.005
In a winepress when an angel of the lord showed up.
00:17:32.005 --> 00:17:35.542
Right. it was david tending sheep.
00:17:35.542 --> 00:17:37.711
When samuel showed up, it was peter mending nets
00:17:37.711 --> 00:17:41.215
When jesus showed up. and here is elijah
00:17:41.215 --> 00:17:44.985
In field, sweating.
00:17:45.452 --> 00:17:48.522
The cloak is dropped on him.
00:17:48.522 --> 00:17:52.025
His life, his change.
00:17:52.025 --> 00:17:53.927
He's ready to move by faith.
00:17:53.927 --> 00:17:58.765
What did i tell you?
00:17:59.233 --> 00:17:59.900
A calling comes with a cost,
00:17:59.900 --> 00:18:03.103
And the first requirement of a calling is to move immediately.
00:18:03.103 --> 00:18:07.074
Once.
00:18:07.307 --> 00:18:08.142
Confirm once god has shown you yet.
00:18:08.142 --> 00:18:09.643
This is it.
00:18:09.643 --> 00:18:10.544
No doubting.
00:18:10.544 --> 00:18:11.512
Move forward. go.
00:18:11.512 --> 00:18:13.680
Okay.
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.748
This is important to know because the anointing
00:18:14.748 --> 00:18:16.183
You are under determines where you go.
00:18:16.183 --> 00:18:19.186
Be very careful over
00:18:19.653 --> 00:18:20.988
Those that are speaking guidance into your life.
00:18:20.988 --> 00:18:23.991
All right.
00:18:23.991 --> 00:18:25.092
Take time in that
00:18:25.092 --> 00:18:26.660
Because the anointing you are under determines where you go.
00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:30.464
And no, i wish you know, i do wish sometimes
00:18:30.464 --> 00:18:32.833
God gives us every detail. he doesn't.
00:18:32.833 --> 00:18:34.134
But you got to trust him with that
00:18:34.134 --> 00:18:36.470
Because he has something better for you in the end.
00:18:36.470 --> 00:18:39.740
But also i'm looking at this.
00:18:40.374 --> 00:18:41.508
Let's listen. the cloak cost him his relationships.
00:18:41.508 --> 00:18:44.378
This story is a parent's worst nightmare.
00:18:44.378 --> 00:18:47.414
Think about it.
00:18:47.781 --> 00:18:49.082
Don't say goodbye to your parents.
00:18:49.082 --> 00:18:51.418
His parents got to be like.
00:18:51.418 --> 00:18:52.452
Who dropped what on you?
00:18:52.452 --> 00:18:54.655
Where are you going?
00:18:54.655 --> 00:18:56.223
You're leaving?
00:18:56.223 --> 00:18:56.623
For how long?
00:18:56.623 --> 00:18:59.092
That's hard.
00:18:59.092 --> 00:19:02.529
Are you sure you ready for that?
00:19:02.529 --> 00:19:07.034
You wonder if they prayed
00:19:07.601 --> 00:19:08.902
Because they knew he was going to suffer.
00:19:08.902 --> 00:19:12.239
You know, a prophet in those days are not easy.
00:19:13.173 --> 00:19:16.343
Again, elijah was the only one left.
00:19:16.343 --> 00:19:18.011
They knew.
00:19:18.011 --> 00:19:18.445
His parents knew
00:19:18.445 --> 00:19:19.513
That he would have to stand firm in front of kings
00:19:19.513 --> 00:19:22.349
And risk his life.
00:19:22.783 --> 00:19:26.153
But he heard from the lord.
00:19:26.753 --> 00:19:30.023
I started thinking, i remember
00:19:30.624 --> 00:19:31.792
When god told my family to move here from louisiana,
00:19:31.792 --> 00:19:34.995
And the hardest part about that was leaving family and friends.
00:19:34.995 --> 00:19:38.899
That was the hardest part, because we knew nobody here,
00:19:38.899 --> 00:19:42.102
Nobody and everybody was worried
00:19:42.102 --> 00:19:44.438
About us and loved us and prayed.
00:19:44.438 --> 00:19:46.039
But they knew god was doing it.
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:47.841
And something that's hard to explain is that i do know.
00:19:47.841 --> 00:19:51.278
I remember the piece like there was a piece
00:19:51.278 --> 00:19:53.947
About the whole situation.
00:19:53.947 --> 00:19:55.048
All right, god, you got to take care of me.
00:19:55.048 --> 00:19:56.516
Everything's going to be okay. i felt that piece.
00:19:56.516 --> 00:19:59.052
What's crazy is that it?
00:19:59.052 --> 00:20:00.254
Bless my family.
00:20:00.254 --> 00:20:01.255
It healed my daughter. the church is here today,
00:20:01.255 --> 00:20:03.657
And some of my family moved out here.
00:20:03.657 --> 00:20:06.426
That amazing.
00:20:06.793 --> 00:20:08.695
So imagine what god would do with you.
00:20:08.695 --> 00:20:11.498
Even though it's hard sometimes to say goodbye to family
00:20:11.498 --> 00:20:13.634
If god has called you, it's time to move.
00:20:13.634 --> 00:20:17.304
So my last point is this.
00:20:17.871 --> 00:20:19.072
So okay, you confirmed the call when you burned the plow.
00:20:19.072 --> 00:20:23.610
And again, you may be thinking, i'm not a farmer.
00:20:24.611 --> 00:20:26.513
What is this mean?
00:20:26.513 --> 00:20:28.782
Look at what elijah does next in the story is pretty odd,
00:20:28.782 --> 00:20:32.219
But there's a reason.
00:20:32.719 --> 00:20:33.320
First kings 1921.
00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:35.555
So elijah left him and went back,
00:20:35.555 --> 00:20:37.557
And he took the yoke of oxen and slaughtered them.
00:20:37.557 --> 00:20:39.660
Now listen to this.
00:20:39.660 --> 00:20:40.427
He burned the plowing equipment.
00:20:40.427 --> 00:20:43.864
That's weird.
00:20:44.231 --> 00:20:45.966
He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat,
00:20:45.966 --> 00:20:48.602
And he gave it to the people, and they ate.
00:20:48.602 --> 00:20:51.104
And then he set out to follow elijah and became his servant.
00:20:51.104 --> 00:20:55.542
All right, look at the story.
00:20:55.542 --> 00:20:56.677
Like, of course he would.
00:20:56.677 --> 00:20:57.978
He would sacrifice it. that's fine.
00:20:57.978 --> 00:21:00.013
And he would give people food. that's fine.
00:21:00.013 --> 00:21:01.715
Why would you burn the plowing equipment?
00:21:01.715 --> 00:21:04.084
What would you set fire to that
00:21:04.718 --> 00:21:06.253
You could have given it to somebody that needed it.
00:21:06.253 --> 00:21:09.122
Isn't that wasteful?
00:21:09.122 --> 00:21:10.057
No, no, no, he was making a declaration.
00:21:10.057 --> 00:21:12.492
My old life is gone.
00:21:12.492 --> 00:21:15.629
My, my my way of being provided for my position.
00:21:15.629 --> 00:21:19.800
What i've done my whole life.
00:21:20.434 --> 00:21:21.501
I'm burning it up right now
00:21:21.501 --> 00:21:24.604
With the sacrifice that i'm giving over to the lord.
00:21:24.604 --> 00:21:26.840
I'm giving god everything right now.
00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:30.410
I'm burning it all so that i can move forward.
00:21:30.410 --> 00:21:33.914
The very thing that brought me comfort.
00:21:33.914 --> 00:21:35.682
I'm burning it.
00:21:35.682 --> 00:21:37.884
My my past.
00:21:37.884 --> 00:21:39.152
I'm burning it.
00:21:39.152 --> 00:21:40.921
The things that are holding me back, i'm burning it.
00:21:40.921 --> 00:21:43.256
It wasn't until he burned the plowing instruments,
00:21:43.256 --> 00:21:46.493
The tools that he was fully dedicated to follow.
00:21:46.493 --> 00:21:50.731
Elijah.
00:21:50.731 --> 00:21:53.133
And this is why today we're celebrating baptisms.
00:21:53.133 --> 00:21:56.136
That's what a baptism is.
00:21:56.703 --> 00:21:58.772
Because of jesus christ.
00:21:58.772 --> 00:21:59.840
I'm no longer who i used to be.
00:21:59.840 --> 00:22:02.442
I'm dead in my sins.
00:22:02.442 --> 00:22:03.610
That's not who i am today.
00:22:03.610 --> 00:22:05.812
God has made me new and i'm giving my life over to jesus.
00:22:05.812 --> 00:22:10.484
Think about it.
00:22:10.484 --> 00:22:11.585
What's in your life that right now you need to burn
00:22:11.585 --> 00:22:15.055
And give it over to the lord?
00:22:15.689 --> 00:22:18.125
All right, let me also clarify.
00:22:18.125 --> 00:22:20.894
Don't physically set things on fire,
00:22:20.894 --> 00:22:23.830
But spiritually,
00:22:23.830 --> 00:22:25.832
What do you need to let go of?
00:22:25.832 --> 00:22:28.802
Give it over to god.
00:22:28.802 --> 00:22:29.503
What's holding you back?
00:22:29.503 --> 00:22:32.072
Elijah wasn't able to follow elijah
00:22:32.072 --> 00:22:35.842
Until he burned the plowing instruments
00:22:35.842 --> 00:22:39.413
Of the life he once left.
00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:43.316
And there's one more thing that's really important.
00:22:43.316 --> 00:22:45.252
You want to know the secret sauce of elijah?
00:22:45.252 --> 00:22:48.021
Success in ministry.
00:22:48.021 --> 00:22:49.222
Because did you know that elijah asked for a double portion
00:22:49.222 --> 00:22:52.159
Of anointing on his life?
00:22:52.726 --> 00:22:53.894
Pretty cool.
00:22:53.894 --> 00:22:56.463
Did you also know that because of that double portion,
00:22:56.463 --> 00:22:58.532
Elijah actually did more miracles
00:22:58.532 --> 00:23:00.700
Than anybody else in the bible except for jesus christ?
00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:04.271
That's how many miracles he performed.
00:23:04.271 --> 00:23:06.072
Just interesting.
00:23:06.072 --> 00:23:06.873
Second kings 13, 20 and 21.
00:23:06.873 --> 00:23:09.209
Elijah's dead bones, actually brings a dead man back to life.
00:23:09.209 --> 00:23:13.680
A dead body touches his dead bones,
00:23:14.448 --> 00:23:16.550
And that dead body comes back to life in that crazy.
00:23:16.550 --> 00:23:20.253
So what was the secret sauce to his success?
00:23:20.253 --> 00:23:22.989
How did he get here?
00:23:22.989 --> 00:23:24.758
You ready for this?
00:23:24.758 --> 00:23:26.927
The secret sauce. is this.
00:23:26.927 --> 00:23:28.395
Elijah
00:23:28.395 --> 00:23:30.330
Was okay with serving.
00:23:30.330 --> 00:23:35.669
Please hear me.
00:23:36.036 --> 00:23:37.904
I know you want the position.
00:23:37.904 --> 00:23:40.774
I know it feels like you've been waiting long enough.
00:23:40.774 --> 00:23:44.044
I know you're tired,
00:23:44.044 --> 00:23:46.947
But elijah was okay with serving.
00:23:46.947 --> 00:23:49.716
You don't hear elijah's name any more.
00:23:49.716 --> 00:23:52.052
At first, kings.
00:23:52.052 --> 00:23:53.520
In fact, he served elijah the
00:23:54.154 --> 00:23:55.722
Prophet elijah for the next 4 to 6 years
00:23:55.722 --> 00:23:59.860
Before he ever stepped into full time ministry on his own.
00:23:59.860 --> 00:24:02.963
Without elijah's guidance.
00:24:02.963 --> 00:24:07.033
He was okay with serving.
00:24:07.601 --> 00:24:09.102
He was okay with being in the shadows.
00:24:09.102 --> 00:24:11.605
He was okay with being hidden, unknown, under authority.
00:24:11.605 --> 00:24:15.675
That's a hard one.
00:24:16.109 --> 00:24:17.777
He was okay with being under elijah's authority
00:24:17.777 --> 00:24:21.515
Until it was his time to lead.
00:24:21.515 --> 00:24:23.650
Because the truth is this the biggest killer to your calling
00:24:23.650 --> 00:24:27.721
Is being impatient,
00:24:27.721 --> 00:24:30.223
Rushing the process something you're not ready for?
00:24:30.223 --> 00:24:34.861
Elijah served.
00:24:35.195 --> 00:24:39.399
And the truth is, if you can't serve god in the shadows,
00:24:36.963 --> 00:24:43.203
And the truth is, you're not ready
00:24:43.970 --> 00:24:45.238
To lead in the light.
00:24:45.238 --> 00:24:48.508
Are you okay with serving?
00:24:49.075 --> 00:24:52.512
Are you okay with learning?
00:24:52.512 --> 00:24:54.915
You okay with waiting on god?
00:24:55.549 --> 00:24:58.652
Until that happens on the inside of you,
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.989
You will always feel disorder.
00:25:03.590 --> 00:25:06.393
But the moment you say, god, i'm okay,
00:25:06.393 --> 00:25:09.596
This is the moment that peace comes.
00:25:09.596 --> 00:25:13.233
And you're able to move in everything that god has for you.
00:25:13.233 --> 00:25:15.268
And by the way, it's bigger than you think.
00:25:15.268 --> 00:25:18.371
It's way bigger than the thing that you wrote down.
00:25:18.371 --> 00:25:21.107
It's way bigger than your five year plan.
00:25:21.107 --> 00:25:24.210
God has so much more for you.
00:25:24.210 --> 00:25:27.314
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:25:27.314 --> 00:25:29.683
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:25:29.683 --> 00:25:33.420
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:35.956
It's not by mistake.
00:25:35.956 --> 00:25:37.424
You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
00:25:37.424 --> 00:25:41.328
And listen, if you love this church
00:25:41.328 --> 00:25:43.496
And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
00:25:43.496 --> 00:25:46.366
Is visit our website at bobbie chandler ministries.com.
00:25:46.366 --> 00:25:50.270
And it's very easy to give.
00:25:50.270 --> 00:25:51.805
And once you give, listen, you're helping change lives
00:25:51.805 --> 00:25:55.375
Because of your faithful giving, we're able to reach
00:25:55.375 --> 00:25:58.378
Not only the nation, but the world.
00:25:58.378 --> 00:26:01.081
We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
00:26:01.081 --> 00:26:03.550
Into everyone's home as much as we can,
00:26:03.550 --> 00:26:06.953
So that they know the love of god.
00:26:06.953 --> 00:26:09.956
And listen.
00:26:09.956 --> 00:26:11.091

00:26:12.892 --> 00:26:18.231
So thank you for watching today
00:26:18.231 --> 00:26:20.567
And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
00:26:20.567 --> 00:26:23.536
All right, before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
00:26:23.536 --> 00:26:26.106
And this one's a big one.
00:26:26.106 --> 00:26:27.273
Okay.
00:26:27.273 --> 00:26:27.641
This year
00:26:27.641 --> 00:26:28.441
We held
00:26:28.441 --> 00:26:29.643
Our very first awaken conference in hickory, north carolina
00:26:29.643 --> 00:26:32.746
For authentic church and we saw people come out
00:26:32.746 --> 00:26:36.182
From everywhere, from all over the nation
00:26:36.182 --> 00:26:38.952
And even outside of the country
00:26:38.952 --> 00:26:40.720
To experience what god is doing here.
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.956
So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
00:26:42.956 --> 00:26:48.361
We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
00:26:48.361 --> 00:26:51.164
And if you want to look into more details
00:26:51.164 --> 00:26:53.533
Over the conference,
00:26:53.533 --> 00:26:54.501
All you have to do is click the link below.
00:26:54.501 --> 00:26:56.269
In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
00:26:56.269 --> 00:27:12.419
For me.
00:27:12.652 --> 00:27:24.097
And the
00:27:24.330 --> 00:27:25.131
Reason i even bring it up tonight
00:27:25.131 --> 00:27:28.168
Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
00:27:28.168 --> 00:27:32.939
The gospel message is all about
00:27:32.939 --> 00:27:35.875
Your understanding of the message about the man
00:27:35.875 --> 00:27:40.180
Who will inform your methods of getting to know the man.
00:27:40.180 --> 00:28:03.703
He. left his job.
00:28:04.137 --> 00:28:15.014
Doesn't work out for me.
00:28:15.014 --> 00:28:16.616
What if i move my life by faith and it all just
00:28:16.616 --> 00:28:20.520
Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
00:28:20.520 --> 00:28:23.256
What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
00:28:23.256 --> 00:28:26.192
But i would rather move by faith
00:28:26.192 --> 00:28:27.994
And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
00:28:27.994 --> 00:28:31.865
And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
00:28:31.865 --> 00:29:04.430
You know what today is.
00:29:04.931 --> 00:29:07.000
Pentecost sunday,
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.170
Pentecost sunday.
00:29:10.603 --> 00:29:13.807
Woo! you better
00:29:14.174 --> 00:29:16.209
Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:29:16.209 --> 00:29:19.946
I came here to remind you
00:29:20.513 --> 00:29:22.282
You need the holy spirit.
00:29:22.282 --> 00:29:46.906
To be.
00:29:47.106 --> 00:29:51.778
Ready?
00:29:51.978 --> 00:29:51.978
