- 00:01:37.777 --> 00:01:41.648
- Taffi: look over proverbs 25, verse 2--stay curious because
- 00:01:43.016 --> 00:01:50.723
- Curiosity can cause god's glory to manifest in your life.
- 00:01:50.723 --> 00:01:57.363
- Can cause god's goodness to manifest in your life.
- 00:01:57.363 --> 00:02:03.169
- "what might god be seeking to reveal to me as i move through
- 00:02:03.169 --> 00:02:08.474
- This life?"
- 00:02:08.474 --> 00:02:09.809
- Ask yourself, what is it that god might be wanting to show to
- 00:02:09.809 --> 00:02:14.881
- You in this stage and season of your life?
- 00:02:14.881 --> 00:02:19.686
- What new discoveries might the lord have for me as i journey on
- 00:02:19.686 --> 00:02:24.591
- Through these stages?
- 00:02:24.591 --> 00:02:28.494
- In proverbs chapter 25, he says, "it is the glory of god to
- 00:02:28.494 --> 00:02:35.335
- Conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out
- 00:02:35.335 --> 00:02:42.075
- A matter."
- 00:02:42.075 --> 00:02:44.344
- So, he says, "god's glory can be concealed, but we as his
- 00:02:44.344 --> 00:02:51.551
- Children: kings, queens, he's given us that honor to be able
- 00:02:51.551 --> 00:02:56.422
- To search it out."
- 00:02:56.422 --> 00:02:58.658
- And as a result, i believe as we search, and as we seek, and
- 00:02:58.658 --> 00:03:03.329
- Inquire, and desire, things will be revealed from us.
- 00:03:03.329 --> 00:03:09.636
- So, there are so many things that have been concealed from
- 00:03:09.636 --> 00:03:12.372
- The foundations of the world.
- 00:03:12.372 --> 00:03:13.773
- But you know, he says, "those secret things have been revealed
- 00:03:13.773 --> 00:03:17.176
- To the children."
- 00:03:17.176 --> 00:03:19.746
- So, let's look at numbers chapter 14, verses 1 through 5
- 00:03:19.746 --> 00:03:27.086
- And verse 6, looking at how jacob--not jacob, but joshua and
- 00:03:27.086 --> 00:03:36.729
- Caleb were in a quest.
- 00:03:36.729 --> 00:03:40.233
- They were inquisitive.
- 00:03:40.233 --> 00:03:41.901
- They had interest concerning what was taking place during
- 00:03:41.901 --> 00:03:48.308
- This time and this new season in their life.
- 00:03:48.308 --> 00:03:51.244
- It says, "and all the congregation lifted up their
- 00:03:51.244 --> 00:03:53.680
- Voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
- 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.851
- And all the children of israel murmured against moses and
- 00:03:58.851 --> 00:04:01.621
- Against aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them,
- 00:04:01.621 --> 00:04:05.124
- 'would god that we had died in the land of egypt!
- 00:04:05.124 --> 00:04:09.996
- Or would call--or would god, we had died in this wilderness!
- 00:04:09.996 --> 00:04:15.234
- And wherefore hath the lord brought us into this land, to
- 00:04:15.234 --> 00:04:19.105
- Fall by the sword.'"
- 00:04:19.105 --> 00:04:20.473
- They were so upset.
- 00:04:20.473 --> 00:04:22.175
- They were murmuring, they were complaining, they were mad with
- 00:04:22.175 --> 00:04:25.345
- Aaron, mad with moses.
- 00:04:25.345 --> 00:04:27.680
- He says, "that our wives and our children should be a prey?
- 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.617
- Were it not better for us to return to egypt?"
- 00:04:31.617 --> 00:04:36.889
- They would prefer to go back into bondage than to move
- 00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:40.727
- Forward because of what they were experiencing.
- 00:04:40.727 --> 00:04:44.197
- And then it says here in verse 4, "and they said unto one
- 00:04:44.197 --> 00:04:47.533
- Another, 'let us make a captain, and let us return into egypt.'
- 00:04:47.533 --> 00:04:54.040
- Then moses and aaron fell on their faces before all the
- 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:59.312
- Assembly of the congregation of the children of israel."
- 00:04:59.312 --> 00:05:04.283
- Then verse 6, "and joshua," somebody say, "joshua," "the son
- 00:05:04.283 --> 00:05:10.156
- Of nun and caleb, the son of jephunneh, which were of them
- 00:05:10.156 --> 00:05:15.161
- That," what?
- 00:05:15.161 --> 00:05:17.797
- It was something that resonated with joshua, it was something
- 00:05:17.797 --> 00:05:23.636
- That resonated with caleb.
- 00:05:23.636 --> 00:05:27.473
- That they didn't go with the crowd and how the others were
- 00:05:27.473 --> 00:05:31.544
- Feeling to wanna go back into bondage, to go back into egypt.
- 00:05:31.544 --> 00:05:37.617
- But the scripture says here in verse 6, that joshua and caleb,
- 00:05:37.617 --> 00:05:42.054
- "which were of them that search the land."
- 00:05:42.054 --> 00:05:46.125
- And the bible says, "they rent their clothes."
- 00:05:46.125 --> 00:05:47.960
- Skip down to verse 24.
- 00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:50.730
- They were curious.
- 00:05:50.730 --> 00:05:52.832
- They were like, "why would god take us from bondage
- 00:05:52.832 --> 00:06:00.606
- And then make us go back into bondage again?
- 00:06:02.108 --> 00:06:06.078
- Why didn't he take us the rest of the way?
- 00:06:06.078 --> 00:06:09.482
- This makes no sense.
- 00:06:09.482 --> 00:06:13.953
- Why should we complain because complaining isn't going to
- 00:06:13.953 --> 00:06:18.090
- Change anything?"
- 00:06:18.090 --> 00:06:20.526
- So, hmm, they said here in verse 24,
- 00:06:20.526 --> 00:06:26.232
- "but my servant caleb, because he had another spirit."
- 00:06:26.232 --> 00:06:34.974
- I think caleb was curious.
- 00:06:34.974 --> 00:06:37.877
- He was searching some things out.
- 00:06:37.877 --> 00:06:40.246
- Scripture says, "he had another spirit with him, and hath
- 00:06:40.246 --> 00:06:43.716
- Followed me fully, him will i bring into the land whereinto he
- 00:06:43.716 --> 00:06:53.759
- Went; and his seed shall possess it."
- 00:06:55.995 --> 00:07:04.971
- We have to put some things together here because i believe
- 00:07:04.971 --> 00:07:13.145
- That as we search, and seek, and inquire after god, and we become
- 00:07:13.145 --> 00:07:21.921
- Open to god, that he will begin to reveal some things to us that
- 00:07:21.921 --> 00:07:27.126
- Have been concealed from other people.
- 00:07:27.126 --> 00:07:30.429
- You are the generation that's gonna break the curses of
- 00:07:30.429 --> 00:07:35.334
- Previous generations.
- 00:07:35.334 --> 00:07:37.937
- You're gonna cause generational wealth to be passed down.
- 00:07:37.937 --> 00:07:44.243
- You're gonna end the trauma that's been passed down through
- 00:07:44.243 --> 00:07:48.648
- Epigenetics and all the things that have occurred.
- 00:07:48.648 --> 00:07:53.619
- I love the fact that the bible says that caleb had a different
- 00:07:53.619 --> 00:07:57.890
- Spirit and he searched some things out.
- 00:07:57.890 --> 00:08:04.196
- He inquired about some things and it was he who went over into
- 00:08:04.196 --> 00:08:11.137
- The land, the promised land that god had for his children.
- 00:08:11.137 --> 00:08:16.909
- How is it that even peter, when he was in the boat and he saw
- 00:08:16.909 --> 00:08:22.782
- Jesus walking on the water and peter saw the miracle taking
- 00:08:22.782 --> 00:08:28.588
- Place, the great man of god walking on the water, jesus,
- 00:08:28.588 --> 00:08:34.527
- In the night, and peter said, "is that you?
- 00:08:34.527 --> 00:08:43.369
- Am i seeing a man walk on the water?
- 00:08:47.206 --> 00:08:50.843
- Is my mind tricking me?
- 00:08:50.843 --> 00:08:52.278
- Did i have too much to drink last night?"
- 00:08:52.278 --> 00:08:56.115
- He said, "yeah, it's me.
- 00:08:56.115 --> 00:08:59.719
- It's me."
- 00:08:59.719 --> 00:09:02.622
- Peter said, "can i come?
- 00:09:02.622 --> 00:09:06.892
- Can i do it too?
- 00:09:06.892 --> 00:09:10.763
- Am i allowed?"
- 00:09:10.763 --> 00:09:13.299
- Jesus said, "come.
- 00:09:13.299 --> 00:09:15.935
- You can come.
- 00:09:15.935 --> 00:09:18.170
- You can walk with me."
- 00:09:18.170 --> 00:09:20.806
- Peter was curious.
- 00:09:20.806 --> 00:09:23.275
- So, i want you to raise your curiosity this morning because
- 00:09:23.275 --> 00:09:26.946
- It is the first step of living a life of faith.
- 00:09:26.946 --> 00:09:32.752
- Zacchaeus, over in luke's gospel chapter 19, is the first step of
- 00:09:32.752 --> 00:09:41.794
- Living a life of faith.
- 00:09:41.794 --> 00:09:45.531
- In verse 1, of luke chapter 19, let's look at that example here.
- 00:09:45.531 --> 00:09:52.772
- Just throwing a couple of things out so you can catch this, "the
- 00:09:52.772 --> 00:09:56.509
- Glory of curiosity."
- 00:09:56.509 --> 00:09:59.512
- Because zacchaeus was a short guy, the scripture says, "he was
- 00:09:59.512 --> 00:10:03.315
- Short in stature," but there was a tree that he really wanted to
- 00:10:03.315 --> 00:10:10.089
- Be able to see jesus.
- 00:10:10.089 --> 00:10:11.891
- And so, it says, "jesus entered and passed through jericho.
- 00:10:11.891 --> 00:10:16.495
- And, behold, there was a man named zacchaeus, which was
- 00:10:16.495 --> 00:10:21.567
- The chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
- 00:10:21.567 --> 00:10:25.504
- And he sought to see jesus."
- 00:10:25.504 --> 00:10:31.444
- I want y'all to see him that's why you're here, so you can
- 00:10:31.444 --> 00:10:34.180
- See jesus.
- 00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:39.819
- But he, zacchaeus, wanted to see jesus.
- 00:10:39.819 --> 00:10:45.057
- "i just wanna see him.
- 00:10:45.057 --> 00:10:46.692
- I wanna see his face.
- 00:10:46.692 --> 00:10:48.094
- I've heard so much about him.
- 00:10:48.094 --> 00:10:50.029
- I've heard about his reputation, the things that he's doing,
- 00:10:50.029 --> 00:10:55.067
- And changing people's lives, and transforming, turning
- 00:10:55.067 --> 00:10:58.504
- Things around.
- 00:10:58.504 --> 00:10:59.872
- I've got to see this man."
- 00:10:59.872 --> 00:11:04.477
- He sought to see jesus who he was.
- 00:11:04.477 --> 00:11:09.014
- He heard so many great things about him.
- 00:11:09.014 --> 00:11:11.851
- Heard he was a drunkard and that he was a wine bibber and he was
- 00:11:11.851 --> 00:11:16.188
- All kinds of stuff.
- 00:11:16.188 --> 00:11:17.690
- He says, "and he could not because he was so short."
- 00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:20.092
- "for the press, because he was little of stature."
- 00:11:20.092 --> 00:11:26.165
- And i wanna encourage you this morning to climb the tree.
- 00:11:26.165 --> 00:11:31.570
- Climb the tree so you can see jesus.
- 00:11:31.570 --> 00:11:38.644
- "he ran before him, climbed that tree to see him; for he was to
- 00:11:38.644 --> 00:11:43.549
- Pass that way."
- 00:11:43.549 --> 00:11:48.154
- Go to verse 5, "and when jesus came to the place,
- 00:11:48.154 --> 00:11:53.058
- He looked up."
- 00:11:53.058 --> 00:11:56.162
- He looked up at zacchaeus.
- 00:11:56.162 --> 00:12:01.634
- Zacchaeus was looking down at him and just like jesus, he was
- 00:12:01.634 --> 00:12:05.337
- Looking up at him.
- 00:12:05.337 --> 00:12:08.340
- "and he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, zacchaeus,
- 00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:11.110
- Make haste, come down; for today i must abide at your house."
- 00:12:11.110 --> 00:12:20.352
- Zacchaeus climbed the fig tree--the sycamore tree, excuse
- 00:12:22.922 --> 00:12:25.925
- Me, so that he could get a good look.
- 00:12:25.925 --> 00:12:28.861
- Somebody say, "a good look."
- 00:12:28.861 --> 00:12:31.330
- I want a good look.
- 00:12:31.330 --> 00:12:38.637
- We have to ask ourselves, "are we curious to see jesus or are
- 00:12:38.637 --> 00:12:41.707
- We caught up in the crowd?"
- 00:12:41.707 --> 00:12:45.477
- 'cause there are crowds and we can easily just get caught up so
- 00:12:45.477 --> 00:12:49.281
- Easily in so many things, amen.
- 00:12:49.281 --> 00:12:53.118
- The scripture talks about how all of creation in the passion
- 00:12:53.118 --> 00:12:56.422
- Translation somewhere that is on tiptoes.
- 00:12:56.422 --> 00:13:00.693
- I think the king james says that, "all of creation is
- 00:13:00.693 --> 00:13:04.897
- Looking for the manifestations of the sons and the daughters
- 00:13:04.897 --> 00:13:10.202
- Of god to be revealed."
- 00:13:10.202 --> 00:13:14.273
- There's a curiosity in the world so that they're looking to us.
- 00:13:14.273 --> 00:13:21.680
- And so, that's why we gotta look to jesus to allow him to reveal
- 00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:26.518
- In us and through us who we are.
- 00:13:26.518 --> 00:13:30.689
- We can't look to other things.
- 00:13:30.689 --> 00:13:32.958
- We can't look to the past 'cause there was probably some
- 00:13:32.958 --> 00:13:36.028
- Dysfunction back there, wrong believing.
- 00:13:36.028 --> 00:13:38.931
- Fear, law-based, justification of works.
- 00:13:38.931 --> 00:13:44.403
- But we got to look to him, the picture of grace, amen.
- 00:13:44.403 --> 00:13:51.610
- Look over at psalms 34.
- 00:13:51.610 --> 00:13:56.215
- Psalm 34 verse 8, in the new living translation,
- 00:13:56.215 --> 00:14:01.921
- New living translation.
- 00:14:01.921 --> 00:14:07.092
- Thank you lord.
- 00:14:07.092 --> 00:14:11.697
- He says, "taste and see that the lord is good."
- 00:14:11.697 --> 00:14:20.673
- I want you to be curious to see the good plan that god has for
- 00:14:20.673 --> 00:14:26.145
- Your life.
- 00:14:26.145 --> 00:14:28.647
- 'cause when you step out in faith and you begin to live
- 00:14:28.647 --> 00:14:34.653
- A life of faith, you'll see that he is good.
- 00:14:34.653 --> 00:14:38.891
- And once you taste of his goodness, and you say, "you
- 00:14:38.891 --> 00:14:44.029
- Know, maybe i should let the pride go.
- 00:14:44.029 --> 00:14:51.270
- Maybe i should recognize it.
- 00:14:51.270 --> 00:14:56.241
- There is another way.
- 00:14:56.241 --> 00:14:59.478
- Perhaps, god's way is better than my way.
- 00:14:59.478 --> 00:15:03.983
- God's destiny is better than me figuring out my own destiny, and
- 00:15:03.983 --> 00:15:08.387
- Planning my own chart, and trying to go from doing it my
- 00:15:08.387 --> 00:15:12.358
- Way to tasting his will."
- 00:15:12.358 --> 00:15:20.699
- He says, "taste and see that the lord is good."
- 00:15:20.699 --> 00:15:22.801
- He says, "oh, the joys."
- 00:15:22.801 --> 00:15:28.073
- "oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!"
- 00:15:28.073 --> 00:15:35.247
- So, when we exercise curiosity, it communicates two things.
- 00:15:35.247 --> 00:15:40.552
- Number one, we have to admit that we do not have all
- 00:15:40.552 --> 00:15:44.323
- The answers or we're wrong.
- 00:15:44.323 --> 00:15:48.193
- When we exercise curiosity, it says that i'm like a child.
- 00:15:48.193 --> 00:15:55.567
- I don't know.
- 00:15:55.567 --> 00:15:56.935
- And what i have done didn't work out.
- 00:15:56.935 --> 00:15:59.705
- So, maybe i need to learn something new.
- 00:15:59.705 --> 00:16:05.010
- Most of us have been brought up with a set of beliefs and values
- 00:16:05.010 --> 00:16:08.347
- That was essentially inherited from our upbringing, from others
- 00:16:08.347 --> 00:16:12.384
- In our environment and culture.
- 00:16:12.384 --> 00:16:15.187
- We have to climb the tree of curiosity to see jesus and to be
- 00:16:15.187 --> 00:16:20.225
- Open to possibilities, open to seeking new answers, open to
- 00:16:20.225 --> 00:16:25.197
- Following a new path.
- 00:16:25.197 --> 00:16:28.600
- The second thing that happens when we exercise curiosity, we
- 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.138
- Have to admit that there's always more to learn.
- 00:16:33.138 --> 00:16:37.676
- We haven't figured it out yet.
- 00:16:37.676 --> 00:16:40.712
- I know, you know the greek.
- 00:16:40.712 --> 00:16:43.415
- I know, you know the hebrew.
- 00:16:43.415 --> 00:16:47.052
- Well, we hadn't figured it all out.
- 00:16:47.052 --> 00:16:50.722
- There's so much more for us to know and to learn.
- 00:16:50.722 --> 00:16:55.360
- Maybe because this is the holy spirit's invitation for us
- 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.631
- To be curious to new things.
- 00:16:59.631 --> 00:17:03.235
- New things, witty ideas, inventions.
- 00:17:03.235 --> 00:17:09.608
- We get so stuck on nine to five corporate, thank god for it but
- 00:17:09.608 --> 00:17:13.712
- Honey, does he want you to do something else.
- 00:17:13.712 --> 00:17:19.051
- Are you curious?
- 00:17:19.051 --> 00:17:21.753
- "do what?"
- 00:17:21.753 --> 00:17:23.088
- "invent."
- 00:17:23.088 --> 00:17:24.456
- "what?"
- 00:17:24.456 --> 00:17:27.092
- "umbrella with a hat on it?"
- 00:17:27.092 --> 00:17:28.527
- "what?
- 00:17:28.527 --> 00:17:29.895
- That don't even make sense."
- 00:17:29.895 --> 00:17:31.230
- God will say, "trust me."
- 00:17:31.230 --> 00:17:34.233
- Taste, see if i'll take you out of that six figure income over
- 00:17:34.233 --> 00:17:42.774
- To eight figure income.
- 00:17:42.774 --> 00:17:50.616
- "the glory of curiosity."
- 00:17:50.616 --> 00:17:55.254
- New possibilities, new things, new ways of doing things, new
- 00:17:55.254 --> 00:18:01.860
- Doors that could be opened, new revelation.
- 00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:09.001
- Not stuck on stuff that ain't worked.
- 00:18:09.001 --> 00:18:13.105
- It didn't work back then i don't know why we think it's gonna
- 00:18:13.105 --> 00:18:15.874
- Work now.
- 00:18:15.874 --> 00:18:17.609
- Look at 1 corinthians chapter 2, verse 10.
- 00:18:17.609 --> 00:18:22.981
- 1 corinthians chapter 2, verse 10 through 16, are you with me?
- 00:18:22.981 --> 00:18:30.756
- This is kind of a long one but it says, "but it was to us that
- 00:18:30.756 --> 00:18:35.027
- God revealed these things by his spirit."
- 00:18:35.027 --> 00:18:39.398
- And that's what i'm endeavoring to show you this morning.
- 00:18:39.398 --> 00:18:42.034
- There are things that will be revealed that had been up to
- 00:18:42.034 --> 00:18:46.772
- This point, been concealed.
- 00:18:46.772 --> 00:18:49.341
- Perhaps from our parents, from our grandparents decades and
- 00:18:49.341 --> 00:18:56.782
- Centuries ago.
- 00:18:56.782 --> 00:18:58.217
- He says, "but it was to us that god revealed these things by
- 00:18:58.217 --> 00:19:03.622
- His spirit.
- 00:19:03.622 --> 00:19:05.023
- For us--for his spirit," talking about the holy spirit, "searches
- 00:19:05.023 --> 00:19:12.497
- Out," what?
- 00:19:12.497 --> 00:19:15.234
- Not just some things but what?
- 00:19:15.234 --> 00:19:17.536
- "everything and shows us god's," what?
- 00:19:17.536 --> 00:19:23.408
- "deep secrets."
- 00:19:23.408 --> 00:19:26.845
- Deep secrets, just keep going.
- 00:19:26.845 --> 00:19:28.814
- "no one can know a person's thoughts except that person's
- 00:19:28.814 --> 00:19:32.684
- Own spirit, and no one can know god's thoughts except god's
- 00:19:32.684 --> 00:19:37.489
- Own spirit.
- 00:19:37.489 --> 00:19:40.292
- And we have received god's spirit," amen.
- 00:19:40.292 --> 00:19:46.098
- How many of you receive god's spirit?
- 00:19:46.098 --> 00:19:47.933
- If not, you can receive it today.
- 00:19:47.933 --> 00:19:51.036
- It didn't pass away.
- 00:19:51.036 --> 00:19:52.404
- It hadn't died out with the apostles.
- 00:19:52.404 --> 00:19:54.773
- No, we received the baptism of the holy spirit that we could
- 00:19:54.773 --> 00:19:58.710
- Speak in other tongues.
- 00:19:58.710 --> 00:20:01.013
- We can give god thanks well.
- 00:20:01.013 --> 00:20:03.315
- He says, "we have received god's spirit (not the world's spirit).
- 00:20:03.315 --> 00:20:06.985
- So, can--so we can know the wonderful things that god has
- 00:20:06.985 --> 00:20:11.490
- Freely given us.
- 00:20:11.490 --> 00:20:13.725
- When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come
- 00:20:13.725 --> 00:20:17.796
- From human wisdom.
- 00:20:17.796 --> 00:20:19.131
- Instead, we speak words given to us by the spirit, using the
- 00:20:19.131 --> 00:20:25.404
- Spirit's words to explain," what?
- 00:20:25.404 --> 00:20:30.742
- "spiritual truths."
- 00:20:30.742 --> 00:20:32.644
- But it's gonna come by us spending time with the
- 00:20:32.644 --> 00:20:36.281
- Holy spirit.
- 00:20:36.281 --> 00:20:37.649
- "but people who aren't spiritual, they can't receive
- 00:20:37.649 --> 00:20:40.185
- These truths from god's spirit.
- 00:20:40.185 --> 00:20:42.187
- It all," what?
- 00:20:42.187 --> 00:20:43.555
- "sounds foolish to them."
- 00:20:43.555 --> 00:20:47.192
- Probably sound kinda crazy.
- 00:20:47.192 --> 00:20:48.860
- Laura, when tracy said, "i'm leaving my job."
- 00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:54.866
- "like girl, you better get your butt back on that job."
- 00:20:54.866 --> 00:21:00.739
- But you know what?
- 00:21:00.739 --> 00:21:03.942
- Sometimes we don't understand we have limited knowledge.
- 00:21:03.942 --> 00:21:10.015
- God will speak to our children, god will put things on their
- 00:21:10.015 --> 00:21:14.119
- Heart, reveal things to us that perhaps are foreign.
- 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:21.793
- Think about jesus when he was 12 years old in the temple.
- 00:21:24.596 --> 00:21:28.500
- Like boy, you're supposed to be playing video games.
- 00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:32.070
- You supposed to be--you in the temple.
- 00:21:32.070 --> 00:21:37.075
- Look at luke chapter 2. god's gonna do some things even with
- 00:21:37.075 --> 00:21:43.148
- How you parent as a mother to show you even how curiosity can
- 00:21:43.148 --> 00:21:49.187
- Work in your parenting as a mom.
- 00:21:49.187 --> 00:21:51.990
- Think about that.
- 00:21:51.990 --> 00:21:55.894
- Because the spirit, he says, "everybody who is spiritual can
- 00:21:55.894 --> 00:22:02.634
- Receive the truth, but it sounds foolish to other people.
- 00:22:02.634 --> 00:22:05.871
- They don't understand it," for those things that he reveals
- 00:22:05.871 --> 00:22:09.007
- To us by his spirit is spirit to spirit, deep to deep--amen?
- 00:22:09.007 --> 00:22:15.347
- Male announcer: have you ever had a childlike attitude,
- 00:22:19.518 --> 00:22:21.787
- Filled with humility, or amazement
- 00:22:21.787 --> 00:22:23.555
- When you considered god?
- 00:22:23.555 --> 00:22:25.590
- Our father is amazing.
- 00:22:25.590 --> 00:22:27.559
- But when was the last time you stopped
- 00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:29.294
- To really think about that?
- 00:22:29.294 --> 00:22:31.129
- In her series, "igniting the power of god in your life,"
- 00:22:31.129 --> 00:22:34.499
- Taffi dollar highlights the marvelous wonder of god
- 00:22:34.499 --> 00:22:37.836
- And the curiosity and
- 00:22:37.836 --> 00:22:39.371
- Graciousness that bring
- 00:22:39.371 --> 00:22:41.039
- Joy to your life in christ.
- 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:42.908
- Taffi: everything about god begins and ends with wonders.
- 00:22:42.908 --> 00:22:48.180
- To be in wonder means we look and cannot believe our eyes.
- 00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:52.884
- He doesn't want us to lose our sense of wonder.
- 00:22:52.884 --> 00:22:55.921
- Whatever has to be suspended in order for him
- 00:22:55.921 --> 00:22:59.624
