  • How many people claim
  • 00:00:00.263 --> 00:00:01.598
  • To get saved, but their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:01.598 --> 00:00:05.435
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:06.036 --> 00:00:07.670
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:07.670 --> 00:00:11.207
  • Something's gotta change because you say.
  • 00:00:12.075 --> 00:00:13.643
  • If it was about me, i would keep scrolling.
  • 00:00:13.643 --> 00:00:16.146
  • But it's about this density, so let me destroy.
  • 00:00:16.146 --> 00:00:19.816
  • Oh, come on, somebody.
  • 00:00:20.316 --> 00:00:27.190
  • Oh, oh oh.
  • 00:00:27.490 --> 00:00:32.562
  • We're starting a new series.
  • 00:00:33.163 --> 00:00:34.397
  • And this series is entitled daily dose.
  • 00:00:34.397 --> 00:00:36.966
  • So tell your neighbor.
  • 00:00:36.966 --> 00:00:38.034
  • Get your daily dose.
  • 00:00:38.034 --> 00:00:41.704
  • Get your daily dose.
  • 00:00:42.172 --> 00:00:43.373
  • Wave at me if you take vitamins.
  • 00:00:43.373 --> 00:00:45.208
  • How many of you take vitamins?
  • 00:00:45.208 --> 00:00:46.609
  • Wave at me if you're on that omega three flow.
  • 00:00:46.609 --> 00:00:49.379
  • Come on over and amen.
  • 00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:51.714
  • Come on.
  • 00:00:51.714 --> 00:00:52.949
  • Let's get into some of the good stuff.
  • 00:00:52.949 --> 00:00:55.785
  • Vitamin b12.
  • 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.520
  • Now, listen,
  • 00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.355
  • If you get most of your vitamins from energy drinks, you got a problem.
  • 00:00:59.355 --> 00:01:02.725
  • I know you.
  • 00:01:03.059 --> 00:01:05.228
  • I won't name any names. some people on our team.
  • 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.597
  • But daily dose, i'm going to give you an acronym.
  • 00:01:07.597 --> 00:01:09.999
  • And i want you to write this down in your notes.
  • 00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:12.368
  • For the next three weeks, we're going to go through this teaching series,
  • 00:01:12.368 --> 00:01:16.239
  • And we're going to calibrate your daily dose as a believer.
  • 00:01:17.407 --> 00:01:20.643
  • And so d o s e is the acronym that i'm going to be teaching through.
  • 00:01:20.643 --> 00:01:25.982
  • And today i'm going to teach through the very first one
  • 00:01:27.083 --> 00:01:28.985
  • D stands for discern the season.
  • 00:01:28.985 --> 00:01:32.722
  • Your n discern the season that you're in.
  • 00:01:33.590 --> 00:01:37.460
  • So we're going to go through this and you can use a pen.
  • 00:01:38.595 --> 00:01:40.597
  • You can use your notes in your phone.
  • 00:01:41.364 --> 00:01:43.133
  • But write this down and it's going to help you.
  • 00:01:43.133 --> 00:01:46.102
  • So d is discern the season that you're in.
  • 00:01:46.102 --> 00:01:50.106
  • Now the o stands for observe and fully embrace today.
  • 00:01:51.141 --> 00:01:55.845
  • Observe and fully embrace today.
  • 00:01:56.479 --> 00:01:59.682
  • So next week we're going to work on understanding
  • 00:02:00.617 --> 00:02:04.087
  • How to observe and how to fully embrace today.
  • 00:02:04.087 --> 00:02:08.458
  • Today.
  • 00:02:08.458 --> 00:02:09.826
  • So that's going to be part two of this series.
  • 00:02:09.826 --> 00:02:12.028
  • And then part three.
  • 00:02:12.028 --> 00:02:13.329
  • Am i going to fast part three of this teaching
  • 00:02:13.329 --> 00:02:16.533
  • Series is going to be a combination of the s and the e,
  • 00:02:16.533 --> 00:02:20.003
  • Which is s stands for stay faithful in small things.
  • 00:02:21.037 --> 00:02:24.941
  • Stay faithful in small things.
  • 00:02:25.575 --> 00:02:31.481
  • And then the e
  • 00:02:31.848 --> 00:02:34.751
  • Stands for execute
  • 00:02:34.751 --> 00:02:37.153
  • With consistency and intentionality.
  • 00:02:37.153 --> 00:02:41.157
  • Execute with consistency and intentionality.
  • 00:02:42.058 --> 00:02:45.895
  • Some of you are like my hand already heard from writing.
  • 00:02:47.030 --> 00:02:49.933
  • I haven't felt like this in school, but we're going to be teaching through this.
  • 00:02:49.933 --> 00:02:53.436
  • So discern the season you're in.
  • 00:02:53.436 --> 00:02:56.706
  • Observe and and fully embrace today.
  • 00:02:57.507 --> 00:02:59.976
  • Stay faithful in the small things
  • 00:03:00.643 --> 00:03:02.946
  • And then execute with consistency and intentionality.
  • 00:03:02.946 --> 00:03:07.417
  • Can somebody just say amen to that?
  • 00:03:08.218 --> 00:03:09.719
  • This first week is entitled the rhythm of wisdom.
  • 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.656
  • The rhythm everybody say that with me.
  • 00:03:14.457 --> 00:03:15.458
  • The rhythm of wisdom.
  • 00:03:15.458 --> 00:03:18.728
  • Everybody say discern.
  • 00:03:19.229 --> 00:03:21.197
  • Most people that you meet do not have discernment.
  • 00:03:21.197 --> 00:03:24.133
  • They have criticism.
  • 00:03:24.133 --> 00:03:27.403
  • You haven't met a lot of people
  • 00:03:28.037 --> 00:03:29.639
  • With discernment, but you've met a lot of critical people.
  • 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.941
  • As a matter of fact, if i could diagnose the body of christ right now
  • 00:03:33.309 --> 00:03:35.845
  • Is we have a lot of people claiming discernment
  • 00:03:36.813 --> 00:03:38.381
  • Who just have triggers, wounds and criticisms.
  • 00:03:38.381 --> 00:03:43.119
  • If i was going to name this sermon something else,
  • 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.556
  • It would be how to discern your god given season.
  • 00:03:46.556 --> 00:03:50.059
  • Why do we use discernment for other people?
  • 00:03:50.994 --> 00:03:52.795
  • But we never use it for ourself?
  • 00:03:52.795 --> 00:03:56.165
  • Discernment should be developed
  • 00:03:56.799 --> 00:03:59.669
  • Internally before it's distributed externally.
  • 00:03:59.669 --> 00:04:03.606
  • Come on y'all.
  • 00:04:03.973 --> 00:04:05.608
  • Can i just rewind that back?
  • 00:04:05.608 --> 00:04:07.877
  • Discernment should be developed internally
  • 00:04:07.877 --> 00:04:11.814
  • Before it's distributed externally.
  • 00:04:12.582 --> 00:04:15.051
  • And you got people who want to distribute more discernment
  • 00:04:16.219 --> 00:04:18.421
  • Externally than they want to develop internally.
  • 00:04:19.389 --> 00:04:21.357
  • In other words, they're an expert on how other people sinned,
  • 00:04:22.592 --> 00:04:25.328
  • But not their own set.
  • 00:04:25.328 --> 00:04:28.564
  • So this is the rhythm of wisdom.
  • 00:04:29.198 --> 00:04:30.466
  • And it starts with discernment.
  • 00:04:30.466 --> 00:04:32.201
  • And we're going to look at some
  • 00:04:32.201 --> 00:04:33.803
  • Some scriptural focus to help us understand these concepts.
  • 00:04:33.803 --> 00:04:37.940
  • But before we jump in
  • 00:04:38.441 --> 00:04:40.176
  • And you can already start to turn to ecclesiastes chapter three,
  • 00:04:40.176 --> 00:04:43.279
  • And we're going to look at that first ecclesiastes
  • 00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:46.149
  • Chapter three, and we're going to start in the old testament.
  • 00:04:46.149 --> 00:04:49.552
  • And then we're going to go over to the new testament, because i believe
  • 00:04:50.987 --> 00:04:52.722
  • In a whole bible approach, meaning you should see the continuity
  • 00:04:52.722 --> 00:04:57.593
  • Between the old and new testament in these, in these narratives.
  • 00:04:58.895 --> 00:05:01.898
  • So we're going to go to ecclesiastes chapter three,
  • 00:05:02.932 --> 00:05:05.501
  • Written by what the bible determined
  • 00:05:06.269 --> 00:05:08.338
  • Is the most wise person to ever live.
  • 00:05:08.338 --> 00:05:11.674
  • And we're going to we're going to start there.
  • 00:05:12.642 --> 00:05:14.677
  • Now, before we do, though, can i just tell you that
  • 00:05:14.677 --> 00:05:18.448
  • We have to grow in our ability to discern what season we're in.
  • 00:05:18.448 --> 00:05:22.685
  • So let's go take the discernment a little bit deeper now.
  • 00:05:23.753 --> 00:05:25.655
  • It's discerning what season we're in, discerning what season we are in.
  • 00:05:25.655 --> 00:05:30.793
  • And we need to increase in our ability to do that.
  • 00:05:31.828 --> 00:05:34.464
  • And here here's the main thing.
  • 00:05:35.098 --> 00:05:37.066
  • Could it be that you are not burned out because you're doing the wrong things?
  • 00:05:37.066 --> 00:05:42.338
  • It's that you're doing the wrong things in the wrong season.
  • 00:05:43.506 --> 00:05:46.909
  • Could it be
  • 00:05:47.243 --> 00:05:48.778
  • That you're not exhausted because of what you're doing?
  • 00:05:48.778 --> 00:05:51.381
  • It's when you're doing it and what season you're doing it.
  • 00:05:52.482 --> 00:05:54.417
  • So we have to discern the seasons.
  • 00:05:55.184 --> 00:05:56.452
  • The seasons.
  • 00:05:56.452 --> 00:05:57.920
  • And there in those seasons are marked by transition.
  • 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.857
  • So let's look at ecclesiastes chapter three.
  • 00:06:00.857 --> 00:06:03.326
  • And we're going to read verses one through a.
  • 00:06:03.326 --> 00:06:05.528
  • So ecclesiastes chapter three, verse one through eight.
  • 00:06:05.528 --> 00:06:09.265
  • And here here's why it's important.
  • 00:06:10.066 --> 00:06:12.535
  • It says for everything there is a season.
  • 00:06:13.403 --> 00:06:16.139
  • Everybody say season.
  • 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.408
  • This is this is a biblical term that i want us to.
  • 00:06:18.408 --> 00:06:22.178
  • So if you if you, you don't have to write in your bible.
  • 00:06:23.312 --> 00:06:25.348
  • If you write in your bible, you can underline the word season
  • 00:06:26.549 --> 00:06:28.618
  • And a time for every matter under heaven.
  • 00:06:29.485 --> 00:06:32.188
  • How many of you are under heaven right now?
  • 00:06:33.055 --> 00:06:34.357
  • Okay, that's all of you. you're not dead.
  • 00:06:34.357 --> 00:06:36.659
  • So we're all under heaven.
  • 00:06:36.659 --> 00:06:38.961
  • A time to be born.
  • 00:06:38.961 --> 00:06:40.763
  • And a time to die.
  • 00:06:40.763 --> 00:06:42.865
  • What if i told you?
  • 00:06:42.865 --> 00:06:44.667
  • Anxiety is when fear tries to convince you of a different season?
  • 00:06:44.667 --> 00:06:49.038
  • Anxiety says you're
  • 00:06:49.505 --> 00:06:50.940
  • Going to die when it's not your season to die.
  • 00:06:50.940 --> 00:06:54.410
  • It's fears lie about what season you're in.
  • 00:06:55.311 --> 00:06:58.114
  • Oh, yeah, you're going to die. but not yet.
  • 00:06:58.114 --> 00:07:00.683
  • So when fear tells you it's going to happen now, that produces anxiety.
  • 00:07:00.683 --> 00:07:05.254
  • What if i told you that lust and perversion and one night stands is
  • 00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:10.226
  • What happens when you do the right thing in the wrong season?
  • 00:07:10.226 --> 00:07:13.863
  • A seeing a season of singleness should be paired
  • 00:07:14.831 --> 00:07:17.667
  • With purity and isolation for preparation.
  • 00:07:17.667 --> 00:07:22.505
  • But what happens is when you have the act of sex within the wrong season.
  • 00:07:23.906 --> 00:07:27.543
  • See, in one season, sex will actually edify
  • 00:07:28.444 --> 00:07:30.680
  • And build you up, but in the wrong season, sex.
  • 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.150
  • The bible says that lust and perversion will actually cause you
  • 00:07:35.451 --> 00:07:37.820
  • To sin against your own body.
  • 00:07:37.820 --> 00:07:39.689
  • So sex out of season is destructive.
  • 00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:44.093
  • But sex in season will build you up.
  • 00:07:44.861 --> 00:07:47.263
  • So it's. this is what i'm saying.
  • 00:07:47.930 --> 00:07:49.866
  • We need to increase in wisdom concerning seasons and times.
  • 00:07:49.866 --> 00:07:55.137
  • So everybody say discern.
  • 00:07:55.705 --> 00:07:57.907
  • This is your daily dose, your daily dose.
  • 00:07:57.907 --> 00:08:01.611
  • So when you wake up you're asking yourself
  • 00:08:01.611 --> 00:08:05.181
  • What are we going to do today, pinky?
  • 00:08:05.982 --> 00:08:08.451
  • The same thing we do every day.
  • 00:08:09.085 --> 00:08:10.953
  • Bring.
  • 00:08:10.953 --> 00:08:11.988
  • You know, or whatever. amen.
  • 00:08:11.988 --> 00:08:13.022
  • I don't it's been a while.
  • 00:08:13.022 --> 00:08:15.625
  • Right. what are we going to do today, brain?
  • 00:08:15.625 --> 00:08:17.693
  • That's what it was.
  • 00:08:17.693 --> 00:08:19.662
  • So you're asking yourself, what's my season?
  • 00:08:19.662 --> 00:08:23.833
  • So it's lust
  • 00:08:24.166 --> 00:08:27.537
  • Before you're married and it's passion afterwards.
  • 00:08:28.571 --> 00:08:30.773
  • That's.
  • 00:08:31.007 --> 00:08:32.108
  • Are y'all with me?
  • 00:08:32.108 --> 00:08:34.844
  • So you got to.
  • 00:08:34.844 --> 00:08:36.112
  • It's wisdom knows where to place things.
  • 00:08:36.112 --> 00:08:38.481
  • It's about the appropriate. okay, let's go deeper.
  • 00:08:38.481 --> 00:08:41.150
  • I want to look at the text for everything.
  • 00:08:41.150 --> 00:08:43.619
  • Everybody say everything.
  • 00:08:43.619 --> 00:08:45.388
  • For everything.
  • 00:08:45.388 --> 00:08:46.956
  • There is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.
  • 00:08:46.956 --> 00:08:51.627
  • A time to be born and a time to die.
  • 00:08:52.395 --> 00:08:54.330
  • A time to plant.
  • 00:08:54.330 --> 00:08:55.998
  • And a time to pluck up what is planted.
  • 00:08:55.998 --> 00:08:59.302
  • Now let's break this down.
  • 00:08:59.869 --> 00:09:01.437
  • When you look at the phrase appointed time, it's a hebrew
  • 00:09:01.437 --> 00:09:04.774
  • Word z e m a n
  • 00:09:05.141 --> 00:09:08.044
  • Z e m a n, and it means appointed time.
  • 00:09:08.911 --> 00:09:15.418
  • Come on.
  • 00:09:15.685 --> 00:09:16.953
  • I'm giving you a chance to write this down.
  • 00:09:16.953 --> 00:09:18.788
  • When you look at this verse,
  • 00:09:18.788 --> 00:09:21.624
  • It says appointed time z man.
  • 00:09:21.624 --> 00:09:24.927
  • And i'm going to break this word down because it helps us get at a revelation.
  • 00:09:24.927 --> 00:09:29.765
  • Okay. can i just preach this for 30s?
  • 00:09:30.533 --> 00:09:33.002
  • It does not mean suggested time.
  • 00:09:33.002 --> 00:09:36.339
  • It means appointed time.
  • 00:09:36.839 --> 00:09:38.441
  • And some of you are living off a suggestion, not appointment.
  • 00:09:38.441 --> 00:09:43.879
  • See, christians
  • 00:09:44.246 --> 00:09:45.915
  • Are living off of suggestions from their spouse, suggestions
  • 00:09:45.915 --> 00:09:49.919
  • From their friends, suggestions from instagram, suggestions from the internet.
  • 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:54.924
  • Are you in a suggested season or an appointed
  • 00:09:55.858 --> 00:09:57.994
  • Season?
  • 00:09:57.994 --> 00:10:01.864
  • Oh man.
  • 00:10:02.098 --> 00:10:02.765
  • Okay.
  • 00:10:02.765 --> 00:10:06.102
  • But no, i'm serious.
  • 00:10:06.569 --> 00:10:07.169
  • Like.
  • 00:10:07.169 --> 00:10:09.071
  • Give me one of those microphones.
  • 00:10:09.071 --> 00:10:11.807
  • I was i was going to bring my road mic.
  • 00:10:11.807 --> 00:10:14.410
  • Maybe my wife saw it's time to bring it.
  • 00:10:14.410 --> 00:10:16.145
  • But here's the thing. let's talk about this.
  • 00:10:16.145 --> 00:10:18.514
  • See, there's a lot of people that are using this.
  • 00:10:19.548 --> 00:10:22.084
  • It's the right calling in the wrong season
  • 00:10:22.084 --> 00:10:25.421
  • Because it was suggested by them that they should do this.
  • 00:10:26.522 --> 00:10:29.258
  • It was suggested not appointed.
  • 00:10:29.892 --> 00:10:31.727
  • And if you take
  • 00:10:31.727 --> 00:10:33.529
  • What's suggested before it's appointed, a blessing becomes a curse.
  • 00:10:33.529 --> 00:10:36.432
  • Yeah.
  • 00:10:36.666 --> 00:10:37.933
  • It's a right microphone in the wrong season.
  • 00:10:37.933 --> 00:10:40.436
  • It's the right sermon in the wrong season.
  • 00:10:40.436 --> 00:10:42.571
  • It's the right messenger in the wrong season.
  • 00:10:42.571 --> 00:10:45.508
  • It's about the appointed time, not the suggested time.
  • 00:10:45.508 --> 00:10:48.911
  • And so listen, if you take the microphone and start a podcast,
  • 00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:53.349
  • You'll have audio but not authority.
  • 00:10:53.349 --> 00:10:59.989
  • But let me counterbalance that.
  • 00:11:00.623 --> 00:11:03.993
  • If god told you to start the podcast and you're supposed to do it,
  • 00:11:05.294 --> 00:11:08.497
  • And you don't do it, you'll have authority.
  • 00:11:09.398 --> 00:11:10.499
  • But no audio.
  • 00:11:10.499 --> 00:11:13.202
  • So it's about wisdom.
  • 00:11:13.703 --> 00:11:15.204
  • Oh, come on, is this good?
  • 00:11:15.204 --> 00:11:17.006
  • Is this good? it's about wisdom.
  • 00:11:17.006 --> 00:11:19.175
  • Because beware of somebody who never tells you to preach.
  • 00:11:19.175 --> 00:11:22.611
  • But beware of somebody telling you to preach out of season.
  • 00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:25.681
  • It's about wisdom.
  • 00:11:26.115 --> 00:11:28.217
  • This is what the body of christ needs in this era.
  • 00:11:28.217 --> 00:11:31.520
  • And i'm speaking as an apostle right now to many of you,
  • 00:11:32.621 --> 00:11:34.990
  • Because we have to administrate a ministry doesn't
  • 00:11:35.991 --> 00:11:38.027
  • Mean to diminish, and it doesn't mean to do the will.
  • 00:11:38.027 --> 00:11:41.897
  • Lord, help me delete.
  • 00:11:42.398 --> 00:11:44.533
  • It means to develop.
  • 00:11:44.533 --> 00:11:46.802
  • So some ministries diminish, some ministries delete.
  • 00:11:46.802 --> 00:11:51.273
  • But a healthy ministry develops.
  • 00:11:51.907 --> 00:11:53.642
  • Can i say it again?
  • 00:11:53.642 --> 00:11:55.611
  • Because y'all are leading ground crews and you're leading flight crews and you're
  • 00:11:55.611 --> 00:11:59.648
  • You're you're doing this.
  • 00:12:00.216 --> 00:12:01.150
  • You don't diminish somebody.
  • 00:12:01.150 --> 00:12:02.785
  • You don't delete somebody's calling, but you help them develop.
  • 00:12:02.785 --> 00:12:06.455
  • It's about the wisdom of discerning the time.
  • 00:12:06.455 --> 00:12:10.126
  • Develop, develop, develop.
  • 00:12:10.693 --> 00:12:12.228
  • Okay, let me put my we.
  • 00:12:12.228 --> 00:12:13.395
  • Who did that help you?
  • 00:12:13.395 --> 00:12:15.164
  • Okay.
  • 00:12:15.164 --> 00:12:16.398
  • Maybe my wife will bring my podcast, mike.
  • 00:12:16.398 --> 00:12:18.100
  • If she's okay.
  • 00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:20.035
  • So zeman.
  • 00:12:20.035 --> 00:12:22.738
  • Zeman.
  • 00:12:22.738 --> 00:12:24.640
  • Can we go deeper on this hebrew word?
  • 00:12:24.640 --> 00:12:26.976
  • Okay. this is so good.
  • 00:12:26.976 --> 00:12:29.145
  • In ecclesiastes chapter three, verse one, in the hebrew roots
  • 00:12:30.346 --> 00:12:33.382
  • It means its own time for everything, its own.
  • 00:12:33.382 --> 00:12:37.853
  • So, hey, for those of you who are on fire with sexual passion,
  • 00:12:37.853 --> 00:12:41.924
  • Without a place to utilize it, it's only a season.
  • 00:12:41.924 --> 00:12:46.896
  • It's only a season.
  • 00:12:47.363 --> 00:12:48.931
  • For those of you who are married
  • 00:12:48.931 --> 00:12:52.234
  • Saying, where did that passion go?
  • 00:12:53.002 --> 00:12:54.804
  • Come to the marriage conference next month.
  • 00:12:54.804 --> 00:12:58.808
  • But when you go deeper on this word,
  • 00:12:59.608 --> 00:13:02.411
  • It means it's a verb that means to agree together.
  • 00:13:02.411 --> 00:13:06.348
  • So appointed versus
  • 00:13:06.816 --> 00:13:09.118
  • Suggested has to do with agreement.
  • 00:13:09.118 --> 00:13:12.354
  • I'm going to say this real slow because i simple is not the same
  • 00:13:13.589 --> 00:13:17.326
  • As simple.
  • 00:13:17.626 --> 00:13:18.861
  • Simple is not the same as being dumb.
  • 00:13:18.861 --> 00:13:21.030
  • It's just it can be simple, yet profound.
  • 00:13:21.030 --> 00:13:23.365
  • So i want us to meditate on the word
  • 00:13:23.365 --> 00:13:25.701
  • Because it's a matter of fact, it's not the volume.
  • 00:13:25.701 --> 00:13:27.570
  • A lot of people are like, i'm reading the whole bible this year.
  • 00:13:27.570 --> 00:13:29.738
  • Yeah.
  • 00:13:29.738 --> 00:13:31.507
  • How much of it did you understand and how much of it did you obey?
  • 00:13:31.507 --> 00:13:33.576
  • You know, a good sermon can
  • 00:13:34.176 --> 00:13:35.945
  • Spend 40 minutes on one scripture that everybody understands and obeys.
  • 00:13:35.945 --> 00:13:39.381
  • So it's not how much scripture can i dispense?
  • 00:13:40.349 --> 00:13:41.917
  • It's how much can you make people understand and obey?
  • 00:13:41.917 --> 00:13:45.354
  • So we're going to go through the word of god.
  • 00:13:46.255 --> 00:13:48.224
  • But i want us to stay here for a little while to really get this in our spirit.
  • 00:13:48.224 --> 00:13:51.660
  • Because when you look at this, it says ecclesiastes
  • 00:13:52.695 --> 00:13:54.630
  • Chapter three, verse one means it's own time for everything.
  • 00:13:54.630 --> 00:13:58.934
  • And then if you go back to look at the, the hebrew
  • 00:13:59.969 --> 00:14:01.670
  • Word, it actually says to agree together.
  • 00:14:01.670 --> 00:14:05.074
  • So in other words, it's not a suggested time.
  • 00:14:06.008 --> 00:14:07.543
  • It's an appointed time that you must come in agreement with.
  • 00:14:07.543 --> 00:14:11.146
  • What if i told you that most of your discouragement
  • 00:14:12.147 --> 00:14:14.850
  • Is you not being in agreement with what god appointed for right now?
  • 00:14:16.218 --> 00:14:21.490
  • You're with me.
  • 00:14:21.857 --> 00:14:23.692
  • You're not in agreement with what god appointed right now, and that's why.
  • 00:14:23.692 --> 00:14:28.264
  • Now let's give you a new testament reference.
  • 00:14:29.164 --> 00:14:31.300
  • The fruits of the spirit are love, joy,
  • 00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:35.738
  • Peace, patience, kindness, longsuffering.
  • 00:14:36.538 --> 00:14:41.410
  • Because what the fruits of the spirit are,
  • 00:14:42.278 --> 00:14:44.680
  • Is the result of coming into agreement
  • 00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:48.150
  • With what god appointed.
  • 00:14:48.651 --> 00:14:53.055
  • I bear the fruit of longsuffering
  • 00:14:53.722 --> 00:14:57.593
  • Because i came into agreement with what god appointed for this season.
  • 00:14:59.028 --> 00:15:02.264
  • I bear the fruit of patience
  • 00:15:02.865 --> 00:15:05.034
  • Because i came into agreement with what god appointed for this season.
  • 00:15:05.034 --> 00:15:09.638
  • But you don't bear fruit without agreement.
  • 00:15:10.506 --> 00:15:12.908
  • The seed has to agree with the soil.
  • 00:15:12.908 --> 00:15:15.577
  • The rain has to agree with the seed.
  • 00:15:15.577 --> 00:15:18.147
  • There has to be a convergence of agreement for that thing to germinate
  • 00:15:18.147 --> 00:15:22.518
  • And come up out of the soil and bear fruit.
  • 00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:25.354
  • You i will i'm trying to help you right now.
  • 00:15:25.354 --> 00:15:27.756
  • So what does that mean?
  • 00:15:27.756 --> 00:15:30.225
  • Let's let's keep going.
  • 00:15:30.726 --> 00:15:33.262
  • I love this too, because in the jewish culture, they have schools called yeshiva.
  • 00:15:33.262 --> 00:15:38.467
  • And that's basically they're,
  • 00:15:39.101 --> 00:15:41.403
  • They're their school that they, that children attend.
  • 00:15:41.403 --> 00:15:44.873
  • And i love this because in yeshiva, they use the term
  • 00:15:45.941 --> 00:15:48.744
  • Zeman to refer to as a semester.
  • 00:15:48.744 --> 00:15:52.715
  • So to.
  • 00:15:52.948 --> 00:15:54.350
  • So it's almost like god say, okay, let's back up.
  • 00:15:54.350 --> 00:15:56.685
  • How many of you have ever had reoccurring dreams that you're back in school
  • 00:15:56.685 --> 00:16:00.222
  • And you wake up and you're like, yeah, there's like, that's a worst nightmare.
  • 00:16:01.724 --> 00:16:05.094
  • Oh, am i the only one?
  • 00:16:05.594 --> 00:16:08.097
  • So we have these dreams that were in school.
  • 00:16:08.097 --> 00:16:10.499
  • So this hebrew word that we're looking at in ecclesiastes.
  • 00:16:10.499 --> 00:16:14.603
  • It's it refers to in yeshiva.
  • 00:16:15.237 --> 00:16:17.272
  • They use this same word to refer to as this semester.
  • 00:16:17.272 --> 00:16:20.209
  • So now let me read ecclesiastes chapter three, verse one.
  • 00:16:20.209 --> 00:16:24.513
  • Let let's look at this scripture again.
  • 00:16:25.381 --> 00:16:26.548
  • For everything there is a semester.
  • 00:16:26.548 --> 00:16:29.918
  • So if there is a semester
  • 00:16:30.486 --> 00:16:31.987
  • That makes you a student, are you passing or failing?
  • 00:16:31.987 --> 00:16:35.324
  • Hey, mike signoret here in the studio.
  • 00:16:36.158 --> 00:16:38.327
  • We're getting ready to jump back into the sermon.
  • 00:16:38.327 --> 00:16:40.763
  • But just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
  • 00:16:40.763 --> 00:16:43.732
  • That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app,
  • 00:16:43.732 --> 00:16:47.803
  • And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
  • 00:16:49.204 --> 00:16:52.875
  • And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
  • 00:16:53.976 --> 00:16:55.944
  • I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
  • 00:16:55.944 --> 00:17:00.416
  • Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
  • 00:17:00.416 --> 00:17:04.186
  • In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
  • 00:17:04.186 --> 00:17:08.624
  • It's called the breakers of mobile app.
  • 00:17:09.425 --> 00:17:11.326
  • It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
  • 00:17:11.326 --> 00:17:15.497
  • I will see you there.
  • 00:17:15.998 --> 00:17:21.770
  • Because if you don't
  • 00:17:22.237 --> 00:17:23.806
  • Pass your semester, you don't go on to the next semester.
  • 00:17:23.806 --> 00:17:27.776
  • You repeat.
  • 00:17:28.110 --> 00:17:29.311
  • So, so, is it god doing it to you,
  • 00:17:29.311 --> 00:17:33.816
  • Or is it god allowing you to learn from it?
  • 00:17:34.750 --> 00:17:36.885
  • Is is it y'all?
  • 00:17:37.252 --> 00:17:39.021
  • Come on.
  • 00:17:39.021 --> 00:17:40.722
  • You could be alive long enough to to technically be in 12th grade,
  • 00:17:40.722 --> 00:17:44.193
  • But only be in sixth grade by virtue of how much you pass.
  • 00:17:45.327 --> 00:17:47.896
  • And so you don't pass because you get older.
  • 00:17:48.831 --> 00:17:50.432
  • You pass because you learn.
  • 00:17:50.432 --> 00:17:52.167
  • You pass because you succeeded in those lessons.
  • 00:17:52.167 --> 00:17:54.970
  • And you got some christians that are 40 years old, biologically
  • 00:17:54.970 --> 00:17:58.807
  • In the fourth grade, spiritually because, oh, and just because
  • 00:18:00.008 --> 00:18:02.544
  • Everybody else gives you a cap and gown doesn't make that a real graduation.
  • 00:18:02.544 --> 00:18:07.349
  • Just because other christians call you mature doesn't make you mature.
  • 00:18:08.717 --> 00:18:11.920
  • Just because other people say you're powerful doesn't mean you're powerful.
  • 00:18:13.455 --> 00:18:15.557
  • Just come on.
  • 00:18:15.924 --> 00:18:17.226
  • Somebody, because they don't have the authority
  • 00:18:17.226 --> 00:18:18.894
  • To distribute the caps and gowns only god does.
  • 00:18:18.894 --> 00:18:22.164
  • And so what happens is people exempt themself
  • 00:18:23.098 --> 00:18:24.766
  • From a semester and transfer to another school full of flunkies,
  • 00:18:24.766 --> 00:18:29.638
  • Because they'd rather have
  • 00:18:30.205 --> 00:18:32.174
  • People confirm their mediocrity than than call them up to godly greatness.
  • 00:18:32.174 --> 00:18:36.278
  • Come on. i'm speaking wisdom.
  • 00:18:36.912 --> 00:18:38.847
  • It's a three part series.
  • 00:18:38.847 --> 00:18:40.182
  • It's like netflix. listen to all three.
  • 00:18:40.182 --> 00:18:43.452
  • Okay.
  • 00:18:43.685 --> 00:18:44.486
  • So is this helping you?
  • 00:18:44.486 --> 00:18:46.288
  • So that's all.
  • 00:18:46.288 --> 00:18:47.523
  • Ecclesiastes chapter three, verse one.
  • 00:18:47.523 --> 00:18:49.691
  • Now, i want to tie this in with an additional old testament reference.
  • 00:18:49.691 --> 00:18:54.897
  • And you can look at numbers, chapter 14, numbers chapter 14.
  • 00:18:56.064 --> 00:18:59.535
  • Now what is happening in numbers chapter 14 i'm going to show you
  • 00:19:00.736 --> 00:19:04.039
  • Because this going to help you and your mama
  • 00:19:04.973 --> 00:19:08.110
  • And your brother and your sister, it's going to help you.
  • 00:19:09.244 --> 00:19:13.215
  • Okay.
  • 00:19:13.448 --> 00:19:14.716
  • Numbers 14 i love it because in the esv,
  • 00:19:14.716 --> 00:19:17.986
  • The heading over numbers 14 is the people rebel.
  • 00:19:18.954 --> 00:19:21.356
  • Then all the congregation raised a loud voice and the people wept that night.
  • 00:19:22.891 --> 00:19:27.262
  • And all the people of israel grumbled against moses and aaron.
  • 00:19:28.497 --> 00:19:30.899
  • They didn't grumble against god.
  • 00:19:31.533 --> 00:19:33.569
  • They grumbled against god's authority.
  • 00:19:33.569 --> 00:19:36.572
  • It's more
  • 00:19:36.872 --> 00:19:38.440
  • Likely people are going to be mad at pastor mike than god,
  • 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:40.709
  • Because there's something about immature people blame leaders
  • 00:19:41.910 --> 00:19:44.112
  • Instead of actually having conversations with the father.
  • 00:19:44.112 --> 00:19:47.349
  • So you notice there's a template for complainers
  • 00:19:48.317 --> 00:19:50.219
  • Is they always complain with about god's delegated authority.
  • 00:19:50.219 --> 00:19:53.822
  • And they they just it's almost like a numbers 14.
  • 00:19:54.823 --> 00:19:57.926
  • They distributed their discernment outwardly instead of inwardly.
  • 00:19:59.261 --> 00:20:01.830
  • It's almost like the intro of this message.
  • 00:20:02.731 --> 00:20:05.601
  • It's almost like i'm discerning something about moses and aaron.
  • 00:20:06.835 --> 00:20:11.139
  • But children of israel, what do you see about you?
  • 00:20:12.174 --> 00:20:15.877
  • Do you see this?
  • 00:20:16.245 --> 00:20:17.546
  • So then all of a sudden it says,
  • 00:20:17.546 --> 00:20:20.482
  • Would that we had died
  • 00:20:20.482 --> 00:20:22.451
  • In the land of egypt, or would that we had died in this wilderness?
  • 00:20:22.451 --> 00:20:26.622
  • Why is the lord bringing us into the land to fall by the sword?
  • 00:20:27.823 --> 00:20:29.658
  • So they're complaining our wives and our little ones will become prey.
  • 00:20:29.658 --> 00:20:33.295
  • And listen, that's like the most potent excuse you can make.
  • 00:20:34.463 --> 00:20:36.665
  • But look at my little children.
  • 00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:38.934
  • I mean, it's my look at my children.
  • 00:20:39.735 --> 00:20:41.603
  • Who cares about my babies? it's just.
  • 00:20:41.603 --> 00:20:44.873
  • How many of you know that
  • 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.142
  • When we're complaining, we always pull out the biggest arsenal?
  • 00:20:47.142 --> 00:20:48.977
  • It's like, what's the thing that can really make people believe this complain?
  • 00:20:50.512 --> 00:20:53.382
  • So they're really unloading that complaint in verse four says, and they said to one
  • 00:20:55.017 --> 00:20:56.785
  • Another, let us choose a leader and go back to egypt.
  • 00:20:56.785 --> 00:21:00.389
  • So this is what happens when you don't know how to okay, let's bring it in.
  • 00:21:01.857 --> 00:21:04.760
  • Everybody bring it in. come back, come back.
  • 00:21:05.694 --> 00:21:07.696
  • Your mind's been wandering. bring it back.
  • 00:21:07.696 --> 00:21:10.532
  • This is the template.
  • 00:21:10.532 --> 00:21:12.167
  • When you don't understand the wisdom of ecclesiastes three,
  • 00:21:12.167 --> 00:21:15.737
  • What happens is you spend more time
  • 00:21:16.538 --> 00:21:18.607
  • Discerning outward than discerning inward.
  • 00:21:18.607 --> 00:21:21.843
  • Then what happens is, they said,
  • 00:21:22.477 --> 00:21:24.813
  • Let us choose for us a leader and go back to egypt.
  • 00:21:24.813 --> 00:21:28.517
  • You change the leadership and you change the destination.
  • 00:21:29.651 --> 00:21:33.989
  • You change the leadership.
  • 00:21:34.556 --> 00:21:36.425
  • You change the destination.
  • 00:21:36.425 --> 00:21:38.293
  • Let me tell you the effects of what happen when you look at numbers 14.
  • 00:21:38.293 --> 00:21:43.165
  • The israelites had a window by which they could enter into the promised land
  • 00:21:44.666 --> 00:21:47.235
  • Because, you know, it wasn't for joshua, it was for moses.
  • 00:21:47.235 --> 00:21:51.073
  • But they were in their semester.
  • 00:21:51.707 --> 00:21:54.242
  • And you're watching them fail their test.
  • 00:21:54.242 --> 00:21:57.145
  • Their test was even moses and aaron,
  • 00:21:57.145 --> 00:22:01.083
  • With all of their faults and failures, was god's designated authority.
  • 00:22:01.083 --> 00:22:05.420
  • And even though canaan scares us to death, and even though we want comfortability,
  • 00:22:07.022 --> 00:22:10.659
  • And even though we want things the way we want them,
  • 00:22:11.727 --> 00:22:13.528
  • Will we actually step into this thing and what they did instead?
  • 00:22:13.528 --> 00:22:16.965
  • Instead of looking inward and developing inwardly, they looked outwardly.
  • 00:22:16.965 --> 00:22:22.270
  • They chose for them.
  • 00:22:22.738 --> 00:22:24.539
  • They said, let us choose another leader and let's change the destination
  • 00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:26.908
  • And go back.
  • 00:22:26.908 --> 00:22:28.377
  • And, and i'm concerned because what i see happening
  • 00:22:28.377 --> 00:22:31.680
  • Is this very similar context in the body of christ.
  • 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.616
  • But what happens is they're paralyzed with fear.
  • 00:22:34.616 --> 00:22:39.020
  • Everybody say fear.
  • 00:22:39.488 --> 00:22:42.758
  • This week i want to challenge you
  • 00:22:43.425 --> 00:22:45.260
  • In your daily growth journal.
  • 00:22:45.260 --> 00:22:47.462
  • In the back there's some additional pages.
  • 00:22:47.462 --> 00:22:49.831
  • And i want you to write all the decisions that you're struggling with right now.
  • 00:22:49.831 --> 00:22:53.535
  • And i want you to take inventory
  • 00:22:54.169 --> 00:22:56.004
  • Of how many of the things you're getting ready to do out of fear,
  • 00:22:56.004 --> 00:22:59.441
  • Because most of us make fear based decisions as a default,
  • 00:23:00.609 --> 00:23:04.146
  • And the body of christ has to now grow
  • 00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:06.982
  • In our ability to make faith based decisions.
  • 00:23:06.982 --> 00:23:10.252
  • Faith is the opposite of fear.
  • 00:23:10.886 --> 00:23:12.854
  • So when you take inventory this week and you're writing down the decisions,
  • 00:23:12.854 --> 00:23:16.691
  • Are you making a faith based decision or a fear based decision
  • 00:23:17.993 --> 00:23:20.695
  • And fear based decisions will always cause you to go back to egypt.
  • 00:23:22.030 --> 00:23:24.900
  • But faith based decisions will always cause you to go forward.
  • 00:23:26.067 --> 00:23:28.804
  • So faith based decisions will cause you to be uncomfortable.
  • 00:23:30.005 --> 00:23:33.341
  • Fear based decisions will make you go in the direction of comfort.
  • 00:23:34.676 --> 00:23:36.578
  • And so they failed their test
  • 00:23:37.212 --> 00:23:38.780
  • And they missed that window because they couldn't discern.
  • 00:23:38.780 --> 00:23:41.883
  • And their delay turned into decades of wandering.
  • 00:23:42.884 --> 00:23:45.287
  • So delay turns
  • 00:23:45.654 --> 00:23:48.056
  • Into wandering, delay turns into wandering.
  • 00:23:48.056 --> 00:23:52.227
  • And numbers 14 really shows us with that happening now.
  • 00:23:53.361 --> 00:23:56.031
  • Are y'all good on numbers 14?
  • 00:23:56.665 --> 00:23:58.567
  • Okay, now let's go over to luke chapter 12.
  • 00:23:58.567 --> 00:24:01.937
  • Let's go to luke chapter 12.
  • 00:24:02.537 --> 00:24:04.739
  • And this is going to help you, luke chapter 12.
  • 00:24:04.739 --> 00:24:08.109
  • And we're gonna go all the way to the end of the chapter at verse 54.
  • 00:24:08.109 --> 00:24:11.813
  • Luke chapter 12, verse 54 and it says, say amen.
  • 00:24:12.781 --> 00:24:16.251
  • When you found it.
  • 00:24:16.251 --> 00:24:18.253
  • All right.
  • 00:24:18.553 --> 00:24:19.387
  • I'll give you a second
  • 00:24:19.387 --> 00:24:21.289
  • Luke chapter 12, verse 54.
  • 00:24:21.289 --> 00:24:25.694
  • Now the heading again in the esv translation that i have says,
  • 00:24:26.895 --> 00:24:31.466
  • Interpreting the time, interpreting the time.
  • 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.338
  • He also said to the crowds, this is jesus.
  • 00:24:37.239 --> 00:24:40.208
  • When you see a cloud rising in the west,
  • 00:24:40.208 --> 00:24:43.712
  • You say, man, how appropriate with what's going on in california right now.
  • 00:24:45.213 --> 00:24:48.149
  • He's basically saying, when you see a cloud rising in the west, you say it.
  • 00:24:49.618 --> 00:24:52.854
  • You say at once a shower is coming.
  • 00:24:53.655 --> 00:24:54.956
  • And so it happens.
  • 00:24:54.956 --> 00:24:56.958
  • And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, there will be scorching heat
  • 00:24:56.958 --> 00:25:01.296
  • And it happens. you hypocrites!
  • 00:25:01.296 --> 00:25:03.865
  • Why you know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky.
  • 00:25:03.865 --> 00:25:08.904
  • But why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
  • 00:25:10.071 --> 00:25:13.008
  • In other words,
  • 00:25:13.375 --> 00:25:14.743
  • How is it that y'all know new york city's weather
  • 00:25:14.743 --> 00:25:18.680
  • But you don't know new york city's will from the father?
  • 00:25:19.814 --> 00:25:22.183
  • How do you know the weather, but not the will?
  • 00:25:23.118 --> 00:25:25.186
  • Because you spend more time looking at the clouds than you do looking at the sky.
  • 00:25:25.186 --> 00:25:29.190
  • You spend more time listening to the voice of a weatherman than voice,
  • 00:25:30.625 --> 00:25:33.161
  • Listening to the voice of the one who made the weather.
  • 00:25:34.296 --> 00:25:36.164
  • Y'all with me.
  • 00:25:36.531 --> 00:25:38.600
  • And so what jesus is saying to them is, woe to you because you know the weather.
  • 00:25:38.600 --> 00:25:42.404
  • But you don't know the season.
  • 00:25:43.038 --> 00:25:44.272
  • You don't know the time in which we're in.
  • 00:25:44.272 --> 00:25:46.274
  • And so the thing i'm trying to help you understand
  • 00:25:46.274 --> 00:25:49.277
  • Is, oh, come on, lord, help me with this message
  • 00:25:49.277 --> 00:25:53.915
  • We need as
  • 00:25:54.215 --> 00:25:55.483
  • A body of christ to begin to pray, god,
  • 00:25:55.483 --> 00:25:59.020
  • If the lord told me to evangelize, i need to get out and evangelize.
  • 00:26:00.355 --> 00:26:03.558
  • If the lord told me to remember what i was, it's it's not a suggested time.
  • 00:26:05.026 --> 00:26:08.163
  • It's the appointed time.
  • 00:26:08.663 --> 00:26:10.065
  • If the lord appointed this lord, i've got to be about it.
  • 00:26:10.065 --> 00:26:13.501
  • If my pastor said, stand up,
  • 00:26:14.102 --> 00:26:16.438
  • If you're in the mountain of business, you better stand up.
  • 00:26:16.438 --> 00:26:20.942
  • You better sign up and you better show up.
  • 00:26:21.843 --> 00:26:24.045
  • Because when you meet with all those other entrepreneurs,
  • 00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:28.049
  • You're stepping out of the suggested time into the appointed time.
  • 00:26:28.049 --> 00:26:31.720
  • What you're saying is, i don't need another leader.
  • 00:26:32.754 --> 00:26:34.489
  • I don't need to go back to egypt.
  • 00:26:34.489 --> 00:26:36.291
  • I got the word of the lord.
  • 00:26:36.291 --> 00:26:38.159
  • I stood up, and now i'm going to sign up, and now i'm going to show up,
  • 00:26:38.159 --> 00:26:41.596
  • Stand up, sign up, show up.
  • 00:26:42.197 --> 00:26:46.534
  • Put that in your notes.
  • 00:26:47.035 --> 00:26:48.136
  • Stand up, sign up, show up. why?
  • 00:26:48.136 --> 00:26:52.774
  • Because moses and aaron, mike and julie said, let's go into the promised land.
  • 00:26:54.275 --> 00:26:57.912
  • And if you delay, delay will actually
  • 00:26:58.713 --> 00:27:01.116
  • Cause wandering.
  • 00:27:01.116 --> 00:27:05.286
  • It'll cause wandering.
  • 00:27:05.787 --> 00:27:07.255
  • So what does this look like for us?
  • 00:27:07.255 --> 00:27:09.624
  • Jesus is breaking this thing down.
  • 00:27:09.624 --> 00:27:11.993
  • He's like, you know, the weather, but you can't discern god's will for right
  • 00:27:11.993 --> 00:27:16.031
  • Now. for right now, how many of you feel an urgency in your spirit?
  • 00:27:16.031 --> 00:27:20.869
  • How many of you feel like this is 2020 repeating itself?
  • 00:27:21.970 --> 00:27:24.439
  • How many, how many? i'm serious.
  • 00:27:25.073 --> 00:27:26.808
  • I'm serious.
  • 00:27:26.808 --> 00:27:28.877
  • Like there's something i go before the father like, oh lord, help me to be nice.
  • 00:27:28.877 --> 00:27:33.081
  • I want to be so mean.
  • 00:27:33.581 --> 00:27:37.552
  • Are you
  • 00:27:37.786 --> 00:27:39.154
  • Studying the bible because it's interesting to you?
  • 00:27:39.154 --> 00:27:42.023
  • Are you making your own little pet projects in the word that are selfish?
  • 00:27:43.491 --> 00:27:46.895
  • Or are you getting into the scriptures to sharpen your sword,
  • 00:27:48.163 --> 00:27:50.331
  • To go back into battle and swing that sword on the enemy's camp?
  • 00:27:50.331 --> 00:27:54.335
  • You get what i'm saying?
  • 00:27:54.836 --> 00:27:56.271
  • Because christians are notorious for loading their gun
  • 00:27:56.271 --> 00:27:58.940
  • And going to the gun range instead of going to the battle.
  • 00:27:58.940 --> 00:28:12.120
  • Oh yeah, man, i hit the target.
  • 00:28:12.754 --> 00:28:14.189
  • Yeah, when it's not shooting back at you.
  • 00:28:14.189 --> 00:28:17.525
  • Oh, i'm saying, you know what i'm saying?
  • 00:28:18.426 --> 00:28:22.197
  • Oh, yeah, man, i'm an assassin. yeah.
  • 00:28:22.997 --> 00:28:24.165
  • When nobody.
  • 00:28:24.165 --> 00:28:26.067
  • You're playing a video game, homie, come out into the streets with me.
  • 00:28:26.067 --> 00:28:28.203
  • Nobody in your job even knows you're saved.
  • 00:28:29.070 --> 00:28:31.039
  • Your family still thinks you smoke weed because you relapsed last thanksgiving.
  • 00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:34.809
  • Come on, homie, stop getting on. come on.
  • 00:28:35.677 --> 00:28:37.946
  • Stop getting on line and start getting in line.
  • 00:28:38.913 --> 00:28:41.349
  • Let's go.
  • 00:28:41.649 --> 00:28:43.485
  • I'm trying to help you.
  • 00:28:43.985 --> 00:28:45.653
  • Okay, so
  • 00:28:45.653 --> 00:28:47.756
  • Now i've brought you through 14 scriptures that i hope for the legalistic ones of.
  • 00:28:47.756 --> 00:28:49.891
  • You think i've given you enough verses today, but let's give you some more.
  • 00:28:49.891 --> 00:28:57.665
  • The new york times covered a woman
  • 00:28:58.433 --> 00:29:00.168
  • Who quit a really high paying tech job because she was realizing
  • 00:29:00.168 --> 00:29:04.839
  • She was in the wrong season, wasn't that it was the wrong job.
  • 00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:09.043
  • It was the wrong job for that season.
  • 00:29:09.811 --> 00:29:13.248
  • She went on to start a nonprofit
  • 00:29:13.882 --> 00:29:15.550
  • That now feeds thousands of children.
  • 00:29:15.550 --> 00:29:18.953
  • I started this message by saying, there's a wizard, there's a rhythm of wisdom.
  • 00:29:20.555 --> 00:29:23.525
  • So some of you are like, i should have never been on this job.
  • 00:29:24.793 --> 00:29:26.227
  • No, no, no, don't curse.
  • 00:29:26.227 --> 00:29:28.196
  • What was the right thing for the last season?
  • 00:29:28.196 --> 00:29:31.833
  • Don't care.
  • 00:29:32.167 --> 00:29:33.635
  • Oh, i should i should have never moved to this place.
  • 00:29:33.635 --> 00:29:34.869
  • No, no,
  • 00:29:34.869 --> 00:29:36.604
  • By the way.
  • 00:29:36.604 --> 00:29:37.605
  • And i don't have time to do this.
  • 00:29:37.605 --> 00:29:39.140
  • But you do know that god led the children of israel out of egypt
  • 00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:42.377
  • Into the wilderness.
  • 00:29:42.377 --> 00:29:43.912
  • So there are times where god will lead you into a wilderness,
  • 00:29:43.912 --> 00:29:46.714
  • And a wilderness is his will.
  • 00:29:46.714 --> 00:29:49.717
  • And so, you know, bad theology is like, everything's going to get better.
  • 00:29:49.717 --> 00:29:52.754
  • No, no, everything's going to get better.
  • 00:29:52.754 --> 00:29:54.489
  • One at one particular point.
  • 00:29:54.489 --> 00:29:56.658
  • But we're on a journey through the wilderness together
  • 00:29:56.658 --> 00:29:59.127
  • To get to the promised land. so don't curse.
  • 00:29:59.127 --> 00:30:01.229
  • Oh, i should have never went to that church.
  • 00:30:01.229 --> 00:30:02.797
  • No, that church was the right church for that season.
  • 00:30:02.797 --> 00:30:06.801
  • And the season changed.
  • 00:30:06.801 --> 00:30:08.603
  • And matter of fact, there's a wisdom in discerning all that.
  • 00:30:08.603 --> 00:30:11.906
  • And matter of fact, if you'll stop being so bitter,
  • 00:30:12.941 --> 00:30:14.442
  • You might realize all the lessons god taught you.
  • 00:30:14.442 --> 00:30:17.178
  • Even under that pastor. you can't stand.
  • 00:30:17.178 --> 00:30:21.516
  • If you're near one of our campuses,
  • 00:30:22.250 --> 00:30:24.419
  • I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
  • 00:30:24.419 --> 00:30:29.290
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:30:30.758 --> 00:30:33.828
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:30:34.829 --> 00:30:37.398
  • Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:30:38.366 --> 00:30:40.201
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:30:40.201 --> 00:30:44.138
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
  • 00:30:44.138 --> 00:30:53.848
  • Just letting that simmer
  • 00:30:54.349 --> 00:30:56.818
  • Because we curse seasons when it was the right thing in that season.
  • 00:30:56.818 --> 00:31:02.123
  • It's just the wisdom of knowing with that season changed,
  • 00:31:03.258 --> 00:31:05.627
  • You know, as we get ready to close.
  • 00:31:06.427 --> 00:31:09.364
  • Because i'm done. by the way,
  • 00:31:09.998 --> 00:31:11.799
  • Just bring me a keys player because we to keep this simple.
  • 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.370
  • But when you know, when we
  • 00:31:15.937 --> 00:31:18.406
  • I feel the anointing on this.
  • 00:31:18.406 --> 00:31:21.409
  • Some of you are so frustrated because you're trying to harvest
  • 00:31:21.409 --> 00:31:25.413
  • In a planting season.
  • 00:31:25.914 --> 00:31:32.220
  • You're
  • 00:31:32.453 --> 00:31:33.688
  • Trying to harvest in a planting season.
  • 00:31:33.688 --> 00:31:36.090
  • You're like, lord, why haven't you given me a raise?
  • 00:31:37.125 --> 00:31:38.893
  • And he's like, because you didn't give me seed.
  • 00:31:38.893 --> 00:31:42.196
  • God, why haven't you given me a mate?
  • 00:31:42.964 --> 00:31:44.265
  • Because you didn't give me discipline.
  • 00:31:44.265 --> 00:31:46.834
  • God. why didn't?
  • 00:31:46.834 --> 00:31:48.836
  • Oh, come on, somebody some of you are trying to harvest in a planting season.
  • 00:31:48.836 --> 00:31:53.007
  • You better go back and put seed in that soil.
  • 00:31:53.942 --> 00:31:55.543
  • You better play the game the way that the game was written.
  • 00:31:55.543 --> 00:31:58.246
  • Instead, try to bend the rules for yourself.
  • 00:31:58.246 --> 00:32:04.485
  • And let's.
  • 00:32:04.786 --> 00:32:08.022
  • There it is that
  • 00:32:08.389 --> 00:32:10.692
  • This is going to help you
  • 00:32:10.692 --> 00:32:13.361
  • And your mama.
  • 00:32:13.728 --> 00:32:16.497
  • But you feel what i'm trying to help you with.
  • 00:32:16.497 --> 00:32:19.300
  • Like, i went back and i and
  • 00:32:19.300 --> 00:32:22.070
  • I looked at my instagram for years and years.
  • 00:32:22.070 --> 00:32:25.406
  • I went back to 2011.
  • 00:32:25.406 --> 00:32:27.041
  • Next month we're going to have rick renner with us in person.
  • 00:32:27.041 --> 00:32:29.711
  • And and it's going to be an incredible time.
  • 00:32:29.711 --> 00:32:32.914
  • The seven hashes sermon i preached last week was me
  • 00:32:33.948 --> 00:32:36.150
  • Extending off of the prophetic word he gave to the body of christ.
  • 00:32:36.150 --> 00:32:39.587
  • Let me just say this i went back on my instagram
  • 00:32:40.588 --> 00:32:42.557
  • And i was sending pictures to evan because ten years ago, around this time,
  • 00:32:42.557 --> 00:32:47.662
  • I think about ten years ago, i'm sitting
  • 00:32:48.496 --> 00:32:51.466
  • Not in front of a six location national church with global online.
  • 00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:55.770
  • I'm sitting in front of about seven interns,
  • 00:32:56.671 --> 00:32:59.340
  • And i was teaching them
  • 00:32:59.841 --> 00:33:02.610
  • Rick renner's book, sparkling gems, and every day i came in
  • 00:33:02.610 --> 00:33:07.248
  • And i taught those interns rick renner's book.
  • 00:33:08.216 --> 00:33:09.917
  • I didn't know rick renner.
  • 00:33:09.917 --> 00:33:11.719
  • Rick renner didn't know me. i didn't have any social media presence.
  • 00:33:11.719 --> 00:33:13.888
  • I had nothing.
  • 00:33:13.888 --> 00:33:15.123
  • But the thing was, i was sowing seeds.
  • 00:33:15.123 --> 00:33:17.992
  • I was sowing seeds.
  • 00:33:18.459 --> 00:33:20.128
  • And i went back and i saw that picture of me
  • 00:33:20.128 --> 00:33:22.730
  • And i said, you know, lord, it's about seasons.
  • 00:33:22.730 --> 00:33:26.267
  • Because i remember loving those meetings i had with the interns and that time.
  • 00:33:27.769 --> 00:33:30.271
  • And it was just like preaching in front of you right now.
  • 00:33:30.271 --> 00:33:32.607
  • It's never been the size of the audience.
  • 00:33:32.607 --> 00:33:34.475
  • It's been the time of the season.
  • 00:33:34.475 --> 00:33:37.178
  • Did you hear what i just said?
  • 00:33:37.178 --> 00:33:39.113
  • It's not about the size of your audience.
  • 00:33:39.113 --> 00:33:41.182
  • It's about the season you're in and what's right for that.
  • 00:33:41.182 --> 00:33:43.785
  • And i thought to myself, i if i wish i could walk into that office
  • 00:33:43.785 --> 00:33:47.155
  • Space and i could say, hey, mike,
  • 00:33:47.155 --> 00:33:50.892
  • There's going
  • 00:33:51.259 --> 00:33:53.027
  • To come a day where rick renner is coming to your church to preach.
  • 00:33:53.027 --> 00:33:54.929
  • Oh, and by the way, and it's just
  • 00:33:55.663 --> 00:33:56.964
  • I don't think i could have even understood it
  • 00:33:56.964 --> 00:33:58.499
  • Because i wasn't doing those things to get those results.
  • 00:33:58.499 --> 00:34:01.803
  • You get what i'm trying to say.
  • 00:34:02.437 --> 00:34:03.704
  • And there's got to be a purity of heart.
  • 00:34:03.704 --> 00:34:05.640
  • We come before the lord.
  • 00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:07.141
  • But i was just looking at seas and seas and seasons.
  • 00:34:07.141 --> 00:34:10.011
  • I was going back.
  • 00:34:10.011 --> 00:34:11.112
  • And when we talk about daily dose,
  • 00:34:11.112 --> 00:34:15.483
  • And this is my lead
  • 00:34:15.950 --> 00:34:17.085
  • Into next week, somebody say slow down.
  • 00:34:17.085 --> 00:34:20.154
  • How do you remember how long kindergarten felt
  • 00:34:21.122 --> 00:34:24.492
  • And how fast 12th grade felt?
  • 00:34:25.126 --> 00:34:27.995
  • Slow down,
  • 00:34:28.296 --> 00:34:30.131
  • Slow down there.
  • 00:34:30.131 --> 00:34:32.433
  • There are no adults in the kingdom, only children.
  • 00:34:32.433 --> 00:34:37.071
  • You must become like a child to enter the kingdom.
  • 00:34:38.106 --> 00:34:40.475
  • So there's only children in the kingdom.
  • 00:34:41.309 --> 00:34:42.176
  • So slow down.
  • 00:34:42.176 --> 00:34:43.678
  • Remember when you would start, playing with your toys
  • 00:34:43.678 --> 00:34:46.447
  • And it was fantasyland and you were gone, and it was like a major motion picture
  • 00:34:46.447 --> 00:34:50.251
  • Happening in your soul. do you remember that?
  • 00:34:50.251 --> 00:34:52.587
  • Slow down, slow down.
  • 00:34:52.587 --> 00:34:55.156
  • And it funny how you went from fantasy to anxiety.
  • 00:34:55.156 --> 00:34:59.694
  • And now the
  • 00:35:00.027 --> 00:35:01.262
  • Only thing you can imagine is tragedy.
  • 00:35:01.262 --> 00:35:03.931
  • What if the lord wants to take back your mind this year?
  • 00:35:05.032 --> 00:35:07.034
  • But you have to surrender it?
  • 00:35:07.668 --> 00:35:09.237
  • See, demons, we have the authority to cast out,
  • 00:35:09.237 --> 00:35:11.873
  • But you have to take that daily discipline of pulling down.
  • 00:35:11.873 --> 00:35:15.810
  • And the last season deliverance taught you how to cast out.
  • 00:35:16.978 --> 00:35:19.647
  • But in this season, discipline is going to teach you how to pull down.
  • 00:35:21.048 --> 00:35:23.484
  • Come on. is this helping you?
  • 00:35:24.118 --> 00:35:25.653
  • Your mind?
  • 00:35:25.653 --> 00:35:27.054
  • You're going to work on your mind all year this year.
  • 00:35:27.054 --> 00:35:30.158
  • So here's my assignment for you for your notes.
  • 00:35:31.092 --> 00:35:33.361
  • And could you all stand it?
  • 00:35:33.961 --> 00:35:34.896
  • Well no, no. don't stand. yeah.
  • 00:35:34.896 --> 00:35:36.831
  • Don't say you because you got to write this down. i didn't think about that.
  • 00:35:36.831 --> 00:35:39.367
  • So write this down.
  • 00:35:39.834 --> 00:35:41.435
  • I want you during your daily devotional.
  • 00:35:41.435 --> 00:35:44.739
  • I want you to spend five minutes, and i want you to set a timer on it
  • 00:35:46.107 --> 00:35:48.276
  • So you can tell.
  • 00:35:48.643 --> 00:35:50.545
  • And i'm not going to use the name because your phones all start going crazy.
  • 00:35:50.545 --> 00:35:53.414
  • But hey, person,
  • 00:35:53.781 --> 00:35:57.051
  • Set a timer for five minutes
  • 00:35:57.652 --> 00:35:59.954
  • And i want you to sit in silence asking, god,
  • 00:35:59.954 --> 00:36:04.659
  • Don't let me be like those that got the rebuke in the book of luke
  • 00:36:06.027 --> 00:36:08.396
  • From jesus that couldn't discern your the season.
  • 00:36:08.396 --> 00:36:11.866
  • But god, i'm going to sit here for five minutes
  • 00:36:12.867 --> 00:36:14.268
  • And i want you to do this for the next six days.
  • 00:36:14.268 --> 00:36:16.370
  • So you're going to do this
  • 00:36:16.370 --> 00:36:17.939
  • Monday through saturday, and we're going to come back sunday.
  • 00:36:17.939 --> 00:36:21.242
  • And i want you to just sit there for five minutes.
  • 00:36:22.210 --> 00:36:23.878
  • Now, for some of you that have been lying
  • 00:36:23.878 --> 00:36:27.481
  • And saying, time keeps going by so fast.
  • 00:36:28.316 --> 00:36:30.918
  • You've been like, oh, my life just keeps passing me by.
  • 00:36:32.053 --> 00:36:33.588
  • Yeah, because you've changed the way your mind works.
  • 00:36:33.588 --> 00:36:36.290
  • Sit in silence for five minutes. it's going to feel like an hour.
  • 00:36:36.290 --> 00:36:39.327
  • And while you're in that time of silence, i want you to say
  • 00:36:40.528 --> 00:36:42.830
  • Jesus in the book of luke and say this in your spirit.
  • 00:36:42.830 --> 00:36:46.934
  • In the book of luke, you rebuked a group of people
  • 00:36:47.969 --> 00:36:50.404
  • That knew the weather but didn't know your will.
  • 00:36:50.404 --> 00:36:52.974
  • And i'm going to sit here, speak to me to give me your will.
  • 00:36:52.974 --> 00:36:56.544
  • And he is going to speak to you.
  • 00:36:57.178 --> 00:36:58.946
  • And then what i want you to do is i want you to journal your answer
  • 00:36:58.946 --> 00:37:02.583
  • Into your daily growth journal.
  • 00:37:02.583 --> 00:37:05.853
  • Okay?
  • 00:37:06.087 --> 00:37:06.754
  • You get in this.
  • 00:37:06.754 --> 00:37:08.522
  • Then the third thing that i want you to do is i want you to share it
  • 00:37:08.522 --> 00:37:11.559
  • With a trusted friend for accountability.
  • 00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:14.996
  • And i want you to share with somebody that
  • 00:37:15.863 --> 00:37:18.633
  • Will help you discern it a trusted friend.
  • 00:37:18.633 --> 00:37:22.103
  • Hey, i believe the lord's saying this.
  • 00:37:22.937 --> 00:37:24.238
  • I believe the lord's saying this.
  • 00:37:24.238 --> 00:37:25.773
  • What do you think about this?
  • 00:37:25.773 --> 00:37:27.341
  • And i want you to share that, okay?
  • 00:37:27.341 --> 00:37:29.877
  • And this is my my challenge, and i'm going to read it to you.
  • 00:37:29.877 --> 00:37:33.080
  • And you guys can write this verse down, psalm chapter 31, verse 15.
  • 00:37:33.080 --> 00:37:38.986
  • And this, this could be
  • 00:37:39.487 --> 00:37:41.455
  • Something you can pray over yourself every single day for the next six days.
  • 00:37:41.455 --> 00:37:44.792
  • Are y'all going to do this
  • 00:37:45.359 --> 00:37:46.961
  • Daily dose with me because i'm giving you your prescription?
  • 00:37:46.961 --> 00:37:49.263
  • You know what i wanted to do?
  • 00:37:49.897 --> 00:37:50.798
  • If i had more time,
  • 00:37:50.798 --> 00:37:52.833
  • I was going to make a little slip and have this on there and send you all out.
  • 00:37:52.833 --> 00:37:55.736
  • Then i thought i was going to get in trouble.
  • 00:37:55.736 --> 00:37:58.973
  • So this is your your prescription.
  • 00:37:59.740 --> 00:38:01.075
  • It says this my times
  • 00:38:01.075 --> 00:38:04.578
  • Are in your hand.
  • 00:38:05.012 --> 00:38:07.348
  • Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors.
  • 00:38:07.348 --> 00:38:12.219
  • That's the esv.
  • 00:38:12.586 --> 00:38:13.854
  • My times are in your hand.
  • 00:38:13.854 --> 00:38:17.124
  • When you take your times and put them in your hand,
  • 00:38:18.125 --> 00:38:20.027
  • It's going to produce worry, fear, anxiety, rebellion.
  • 00:38:20.027 --> 00:38:24.865
  • It's it's going to produce all kinds of sin like it's
  • 00:38:25.933 --> 00:38:29.236
  • Take almost sin is actually when you take your times
  • 00:38:30.304 --> 00:38:32.573
  • And place them in your hand and take them out of his hand.
  • 00:38:32.573 --> 00:38:35.142
  • So when you begin to pray, god, i am going you.
  • 00:38:35.142 --> 00:38:38.412
  • I'm going to speak because some of you are like, i don't know how to pray.
  • 00:38:39.914 --> 00:38:41.449
  • Pray the word of god. you'll never be wrong.
  • 00:38:41.449 --> 00:38:44.785
  • So, god, i'm going to i'm going to do this for you.
  • 00:38:45.853 --> 00:38:47.321
  • Do this six times this week.
  • 00:38:47.321 --> 00:38:49.323
  • God, my times are in your hand.
  • 00:38:49.323 --> 00:38:52.927
  • So rescue me from the hand of my enemies.
  • 00:38:53.828 --> 00:38:56.163
  • Which, by the way, you might be the enemy that god rescues
  • 00:38:57.331 --> 00:38:59.800
  • You from.
  • 00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:03.637
  • Come on,
  • 00:39:03.904 --> 00:39:05.239
  • You might be the enemy when the lord's like.
  • 00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.409
  • Like he tell.
  • 00:39:08.776 --> 00:39:13.114
  • Then it says,
  • 00:39:13.481 --> 00:39:14.815
  • Rescue me from the hand of my persecutors.
  • 00:39:14.815 --> 00:39:21.689
  • Praise god,
  • 00:39:22.022 --> 00:39:24.158
  • Life is not about doing it all.
  • 00:39:24.158 --> 00:39:26.427
  • It's about doing the right thing in the right time.
  • 00:39:26.427 --> 00:39:29.430
  • And when you align with the rhythm of grace,
  • 00:39:29.430 --> 00:39:32.800
  • The rhythm of discernment, then you'll find rest.
  • 00:39:33.801 --> 00:39:36.637
  • You'll find purpose.
  • 00:39:36.637 --> 00:39:37.705
  • You'll find fruitfulness.
  • 00:39:37.705 --> 00:39:40.408
  • When you all stand to your feet.
  • 00:39:40.408 --> 00:39:43.577
  • Come on.
  • 00:39:43.844 --> 00:39:45.146
  • I feel the presence of god all over this.
  • 00:39:45.146 --> 00:39:46.847
  • Here was my prayer that you would feel
  • 00:39:46.847 --> 00:39:49.116
  • The shalom, the peace that surpasses understanding.
  • 00:39:49.116 --> 00:39:52.486
  • How many of you feel that permeating the atmosphere right now?
  • 00:39:52.486 --> 00:39:56.056
  • How many of you feel like you need to watch this on repeat like six times?
  • 00:39:57.525 --> 00:39:59.126
  • Okay, already?
  • 00:39:59.126 --> 00:40:00.661
  • Yeah, definitely. so.
  • 00:40:00.661 --> 00:40:10.905
  • Come on, slow down.
  • 00:40:11.372 --> 00:40:17.678
  • I want to do some ministry right now.
  • 00:40:18.479 --> 00:40:21.215
  • So i want to minister to you personally right now.
  • 00:40:21.215 --> 00:40:24.518
  • So let that's i'll make it a little bit of room for it.
  • 00:40:25.619 --> 00:40:26.987
  • So i just want to minister to you personally.
  • 00:40:26.987 --> 00:40:29.523
  • So let's just remove the distractions.
  • 00:40:29.523 --> 00:40:31.692
  • You don't have to close your eyes.
  • 00:40:31.692 --> 00:40:33.060
  • But oftentimes that helps to remove distractions.
  • 00:40:33.060 --> 00:40:35.996
  • And i just want to minister to you this word
  • 00:40:35.996 --> 00:40:38.265
  • Because this is your daily dose discerned this season.
  • 00:40:38.265 --> 00:40:42.136
  • You're in there's a rhythm of wisdom.
  • 00:40:42.136 --> 00:40:44.705
  • So let me just prophetically minister to you
  • 00:40:44.705 --> 00:40:48.442
  • Because i heard the lord saying,
  • 00:40:49.076 --> 00:40:51.946
  • If i were to give it to you right now,
  • 00:40:51.946 --> 00:40:55.182
  • What would it validate about you that you feel needs validating?
  • 00:40:56.417 --> 00:41:00.321
  • So let me validate you
  • 00:41:00.821 --> 00:41:03.057
  • Without that thing so that you don't need that thing.
  • 00:41:03.057 --> 00:41:06.193
  • You need me.
  • 00:41:06.193 --> 00:41:08.128
  • I am your validation.
  • 00:41:08.128 --> 00:41:10.331
  • What are you still proving to people
  • 00:41:10.331 --> 00:41:13.667
  • That you need to be free from the approval of man?
  • 00:41:14.702 --> 00:41:17.171
  • Many of you are still bearing the weight of the burden
  • 00:41:18.272 --> 00:41:21.976
  • Of feeling like you have to live in,
  • 00:41:22.743 --> 00:41:25.246
  • You know, a constant need of approval.
  • 00:41:26.046 --> 00:41:28.282
  • Now, what is it in you that makes you feel like you need the approval of man?
  • 00:41:29.817 --> 00:41:33.387
  • See, when you discern the season, when you discern the time,
  • 00:41:34.655 --> 00:41:37.358
  • I believe that there's many of you and i want to speak this prophetically,
  • 00:41:38.826 --> 00:41:41.128
  • That the reason why you haven't done it, because i want to talk about delay.
  • 00:41:42.630 --> 00:41:45.032
  • The lord has told you to do something, but the reason why you haven't done it
  • 00:41:46.567 --> 00:41:49.036
  • Is because you don't see yourself as that person yet.
  • 00:41:50.070 --> 00:41:52.573
  • But i hear the lord saying, if you will step in,
  • 00:41:53.574 --> 00:41:57.044
  • I will cause you to become the person.
  • 00:41:57.878 --> 00:41:59.780
  • Yes, you're not that person, but i'll ask you to do it before you become it.
  • 00:41:59.780 --> 00:42:04.952
  • And doing it will cause you to become it.
  • 00:42:05.819 --> 00:42:08.222
  • So step in, step in.
  • 00:42:08.689 --> 00:42:11.125
  • Matter of fact, i hear for some of you.
  • 00:42:11.125 --> 00:42:15.329
  • I keep hearing
  • 00:42:15.696 --> 00:42:17.231
  • The sound of the race starting, and there's like a false start.
  • 00:42:17.231 --> 00:42:21.769
  • And i feel like there's some of you that you started something in a previous season
  • 00:42:23.404 --> 00:42:25.973
  • And it was the wrong
  • 00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:28.242
  • It was like the right thing in the wrong time, and it actually failed.
  • 00:42:28.242 --> 00:42:30.344
  • And i hear the lord saying, you've been hesitant now.
  • 00:42:31.445 --> 00:42:33.447
  • And it was like the race started, but you refused to like, get off the line.
  • 00:42:34.882 --> 00:42:38.218
  • I keep hearing that phrase, get off the line.
  • 00:42:39.186 --> 00:42:41.255
  • So believe the lord right now is causing many of you to actually now go, go, go.
  • 00:42:41.255 --> 00:42:44.592
  • Step in, step in.
  • 00:42:44.592 --> 00:42:46.126
  • And there's some of you that are like, well, who am i to do this?
  • 00:42:46.126 --> 00:42:48.262
  • And i'm going to be made fun of.
  • 00:42:48.262 --> 00:42:50.664
  • They're going to mock me.
  • 00:42:50.664 --> 00:42:52.399
  • They're going to they're going to think that i'm trying to be something.
  • 00:42:52.399 --> 00:42:55.202
  • There's something about this i'm feeling in the spirit right now.
  • 00:42:56.403 --> 00:42:57.538
  • I want to speak to it.
  • 00:42:57.538 --> 00:42:59.340
  • And that's why i hear the word of the lord right now so strongly.
  • 00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:02.910
  • I hear the word of the lord.
  • 00:43:03.510 --> 00:43:04.712
  • And i want to read this to you again.
  • 00:43:04.712 --> 00:43:06.313
  • It says, my times are in your hand.
  • 00:43:06.313 --> 00:43:08.882
  • Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors.
  • 00:43:08.882 --> 00:43:13.053
  • So i heard the lord say, if you don't have persecutors yet,
  • 00:43:14.221 --> 00:43:16.724
  • But you are actually anticipating persecution,
  • 00:43:17.691 --> 00:43:20.194
  • You step into it because it's the right time to step in,
  • 00:43:21.328 --> 00:43:23.998
  • And the lord is going to be faithful to deliver you from your persecutors.
  • 00:43:25.432 --> 00:43:28.435
  • But actually, the lord says, your persecutors
  • 00:43:29.370 --> 00:43:31.772
  • Are going to be a sign that you have stepped into the right season.
  • 00:43:31.772 --> 00:43:35.876
  • Your persecutors are going to be
  • 00:43:36.510 --> 00:43:38.078
  • A sign that you're doing the right thing at the right time.
  • 00:43:38.078 --> 00:43:41.148
  • So trust in that.
  • 00:43:41.582 --> 00:43:43.017
  • When when the persecution happens, smile
  • 00:43:43.017 --> 00:43:45.819
  • Because that becomes a verification and a validation
  • 00:43:45.819 --> 00:43:49.923
  • Of stepping in.
  • 00:43:49.923 --> 00:43:53.260
  • I'm going to say something that's going to sound cliche,
  • 00:43:54.395 --> 00:43:56.664
  • But i, the lord.
  • 00:43:56.664 --> 00:44:00.367
  • And this is not for everybody.
  • 00:44:01.001 --> 00:44:02.469
  • I want to be careful with the way that i word this,
  • 00:44:02.469 --> 00:44:04.605
  • But i'm talking to some single people who desire to be in relationships,
  • 00:44:04.605 --> 00:44:08.642
  • And i really believe that for some of you, the lord
  • 00:44:09.710 --> 00:44:11.378
  • Saying that you are ready but they're not ready.
  • 00:44:11.378 --> 00:44:15.816
  • And what you're learning the first step of the relationship,
  • 00:44:16.984 --> 00:44:20.454
  • You don't even have yet, is actually you giving grace for them to grow,
  • 00:44:20.454 --> 00:44:25.059
  • You giving grace for them to mature.
  • 00:44:25.826 --> 00:44:28.495
  • And then there's some people that it's the opposite.
  • 00:44:28.495 --> 00:44:30.431
  • They're ready. but you're not ready. and the bible says, who?
  • 00:44:30.431 --> 00:44:33.133
  • How can two walk together unless they're in agreement?
  • 00:44:33.133 --> 00:44:36.070
  • So there's something about this, this development, this, this thing.
  • 00:44:36.070 --> 00:44:40.107
  • And when the agreement happens,
  • 00:44:40.107 --> 00:44:42.810
  • Wow. it
  • 00:44:43.043 --> 00:44:44.278
  • Could be the right person, the wrong pace.
  • 00:44:44.278 --> 00:44:46.880
  • And so they're going to pick up their pace and that's going to cause them
  • 00:44:48.348 --> 00:44:50.150
  • To come along side of you or you're going to pick up their pace.
  • 00:44:50.150 --> 00:44:52.519
  • Matter of fact, i want to prophesy over marriages right now.
  • 00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.389
  • And then we're going to pray because there's many marriages.
  • 00:44:55.389 --> 00:44:58.125
  • The lord says you've been out of step with each other
  • 00:44:58.125 --> 00:45:01.161
  • And one is more advanced in the things of god than the other,
  • 00:45:01.161 --> 00:45:04.898
  • Or the one thinks they're more advanced, but it doesn't align with their obedience.
  • 00:45:06.567 --> 00:45:08.736
  • There's something like there's been like a misalignment.
  • 00:45:09.837 --> 00:45:11.038
  • And i heard the lord say,
  • 00:45:11.038 --> 00:45:12.639
  • What i'm going to do is cause them to be strong in one area,
  • 00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:15.843
  • And you be strong in another area, and you're going to carry each other.
  • 00:45:15.843 --> 00:45:20.013
  • And i just see like a carrying each other's burdens.
  • 00:45:21.081 --> 00:45:23.550
  • And the lord is saying is going to say, don't be upset with them
  • 00:45:24.785 --> 00:45:27.588
  • In your marriage for not being strong where you're strong.
  • 00:45:28.756 --> 00:45:30.758
  • Begin to testify of the strength that they have.
  • 00:45:31.725 --> 00:45:34.394
  • That's different than your strength.
  • 00:45:34.394 --> 00:45:36.029
  • And i see there being, oh man, come on now.
  • 00:45:36.029 --> 00:45:38.632
  • I see there being a discernment of of the gifting in marriages.
  • 00:45:38.632 --> 00:45:43.871
  • And the lord says, yes, i have made your husband strong.
  • 00:45:44.972 --> 00:45:47.307
  • It's just you do not have a value for that kind of strength.
  • 00:45:48.475 --> 00:45:51.111
  • But if you will value that kind of strength,
  • 00:45:52.045 --> 00:45:53.781
  • Then you will honor what you value, and your honor will cause unity.
  • 00:45:53.781 --> 00:45:57.518
  • Come on. i'm speaking prophetically.
  • 00:45:58.285 --> 00:46:00.053
  • Come on.
  • 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:01.288
  • And even even the wives, not.
  • 00:46:01.288 --> 00:46:03.657
  • You don't see the value in the strength.
  • 00:46:03.657 --> 00:46:05.759
  • And i see the same thing with the husbands and the wives.
  • 00:46:05.759 --> 00:46:08.362
  • Husbands, you don't see the value in their strength.
  • 00:46:08.362 --> 00:46:10.798
  • But if you see the value, you'll honor what you see value.
  • 00:46:10.798 --> 00:46:14.101
  • And the honor will create unity,
  • 00:46:14.735 --> 00:46:17.271
  • But also, can i say one more thing, because i'm just seeing this
  • 00:46:18.572 --> 00:46:19.840
  • In the spirit,
  • 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:21.708
  • I heard the lord say that it's a season of compromise.
  • 00:46:21.708 --> 00:46:25.379
  • And you have made compromise something that feels like you can't do it.
  • 00:46:26.814 --> 00:46:31.018
  • I'm not talking about compromising on the word of god.
  • 00:46:31.018 --> 00:46:33.887
  • I'm not talking about compromising integrity.
  • 00:46:33.887 --> 00:46:37.191
  • I'm talking about compromise being agreement.
  • 00:46:38.091 --> 00:46:40.861
  • We're going to come together in agreement.
  • 00:46:41.762 --> 00:46:43.564
  • And i want to give you this parting wisdom.
  • 00:46:43.564 --> 00:46:45.332
  • And then we're going to pray is,
  • 00:46:45.332 --> 00:46:48.335
  • I heard the lord say there's grace
  • 00:46:49.102 --> 00:46:51.738
  • On crucial conversations in this season.
  • 00:46:51.738 --> 00:46:55.242
  • And the lord says, you've tried to have conversations and they failed,
  • 00:46:56.677 --> 00:46:59.513
  • And you're afraid to go back and try to have those conversations.
  • 00:47:00.714 --> 00:47:03.283
  • But i heard the lord say, i'm
  • 00:47:03.917 --> 00:47:05.819
  • Gracing crucial conversations and the outcome is going to be different.
  • 00:47:05.819 --> 00:47:08.522
  • If you will go in with the mindset of being able to give some things up
  • 00:47:09.890 --> 00:47:13.260
  • And to to come in soft, to come in humble.
  • 00:47:14.127 --> 00:47:16.029
  • But i feel like the lord's saying there's conversations with children,
  • 00:47:16.029 --> 00:47:19.833
  • Conversations with spouses, conversations with bosses,
  • 00:47:20.934 --> 00:47:23.637
  • People in authority at work, conversations at schools.
  • 00:47:24.705 --> 00:47:26.540
  • I just see the lord saying, i'm gracing conversations for positioning.
  • 00:47:26.540 --> 00:47:30.477
  • I'm gracing conversations for alignment.
  • 00:47:31.311 --> 00:47:33.046
  • I'm gracing conversations for assignment.
  • 00:47:33.046 --> 00:47:35.916
  • God is going to put a grace on conversations.
  • 00:47:35.916 --> 00:47:38.385
  • So i want you to schedule those conversations.
  • 00:47:38.385 --> 00:47:40.888
  • I want you to be intentional about those conversations.
  • 00:47:40.888 --> 00:47:43.657
  • I want you to step in. i want you to be bold.
  • 00:47:43.657 --> 00:47:45.626
  • Don't be fearful and say the thing that you're afraid to say.
  • 00:47:45.626 --> 00:47:49.763
  • Make a faith based decision, not a fear based decision.
  • 00:47:50.864 --> 00:47:52.933
  • And then i believe that the conversation is going to bring resolution.
  • 00:47:54.334 --> 00:47:57.771
  • The vision that i see in this sphere right
  • 00:47:58.672 --> 00:48:00.274
  • Now is like this ball of yarn in your stomach.
  • 00:48:00.274 --> 00:48:04.044
  • And there's many of you who have not been sleeping at night
  • 00:48:05.212 --> 00:48:06.914
  • Because you feel like you have to unlock that ball of yarn
  • 00:48:06.914 --> 00:48:10.517
  • And you're like, i got to pull that thing apart.
  • 00:48:11.485 --> 00:48:13.053
  • And the lord was showing me that if you'll give it to him,
  • 00:48:13.053 --> 00:48:16.523
  • The master, he's going to begin to unravel it.
  • 00:48:17.491 --> 00:48:19.126
  • You've tried thinking, but you haven't tried praying.
  • 00:48:19.126 --> 00:48:24.698
  • You've tried thinking, but you haven't tried praying.
  • 00:48:25.766 --> 00:48:29.102
  • It's going to be unraveled in prayer while you're in worship.
  • 00:48:30.304 --> 00:48:33.440
  • While you're in that time set that timer this week.
  • 00:48:34.508 --> 00:48:36.243
  • Come on.
  • 00:48:36.243 --> 00:48:37.210
  • I give you your prescription.
  • 00:48:37.210 --> 00:48:38.312
  • Come on, somebody say daily dose.
  • 00:48:38.312 --> 00:48:40.547
  • Come on.
  • 00:48:40.547 --> 00:48:41.949
  • We're just going to shift into the existential.
  • 00:48:41.949 --> 00:48:43.317
  • We're not going to let tomorrow worry for itself.
  • 00:48:43.317 --> 00:48:45.752
  • It's evil.
  • 00:48:45.752 --> 00:48:47.020
  • Yesterday's in the tomb. tomorrow's in the womb.
  • 00:48:47.020 --> 00:48:49.122
  • It's not even born yet. today is all we've got.
  • 00:48:49.122 --> 00:48:51.458
  • That's why it's called a present. because today is a gift.
  • 00:48:51.458 --> 00:48:54.861
  • So let's pray.
  • 00:48:55.228 --> 00:48:56.229
  • I want everybody to say, come on.
  • 00:48:56.229 --> 00:48:57.464
  • I see a lot of tears right now.
  • 00:48:57.464 --> 00:48:58.732
  • The lord's ministering to you.
  • 00:48:58.732 --> 00:49:01.068
  • Oh, man, i feel the anointing strong.
  • 00:49:01.068 --> 00:49:04.338
  • Say this with me.
  • 00:49:04.771 --> 00:49:06.073
  • I'm just going to let you borrow my words.
  • 00:49:06.073 --> 00:49:07.541
  • Say, heavenly father, i thank you for my daily dose.
  • 00:49:07.541 --> 00:49:11.945
  • You are my daily bread.
  • 00:49:12.446 --> 00:49:15.248
  • Father.
  • 00:49:15.248 --> 00:49:16.083
  • I thank you for wisdom
  • 00:49:16.083 --> 00:49:18.151
  • And discernment and development.
  • 00:49:18.151 --> 00:49:21.655
  • And i rebuke, delay and i will step in.
  • 00:49:22.522 --> 00:49:26.626
  • Father, i thank you for grace on conversations,
  • 00:49:27.561 --> 00:49:31.164
  • For grace on resolution
  • 00:49:31.665 --> 00:49:34.167
  • And perfect love casts out all fear.
  • 00:49:34.167 --> 00:49:38.205
  • And father, i thank you for allowing me
  • 00:49:39.072 --> 00:49:42.142
  • To step in to my appointed season,
  • 00:49:42.142 --> 00:49:46.246
  • My appointed time, my daily dose.
  • 00:49:46.980 --> 00:49:50.183
  • In jesus name.
  • 00:49:50.550 --> 00:49:51.752
  • Somebody shout amen!
  • 00:49:51.752 --> 00:49:53.754
  • Come on, let's just celebrate what god did.
  • 00:49:53.754 --> 00:49:56.723
  • Come on, you can do the little bit better than that.
  • 00:49:56.723 --> 00:49:59.159
  • Come on, father, you're worthy.
  • 00:49:59.159 --> 00:50:00.994
  • We worship you.
  • 00:50:00.994 --> 00:50:02.362
  • We praise you, we magnify you, we glorify you.
  • 00:50:02.362 --> 00:50:07.501
  • I thank you in advance that my marriage is going to be the best marriage.
  • 00:50:08.935 --> 00:50:11.571
  • I thank you in advance, and i'm going to enter into this next time.
  • 00:50:12.873 --> 00:50:14.875
  • Come on. this.
  • 00:50:15.242 --> 00:50:16.243
  • You don't need a worship song.
  • 00:50:16.243 --> 00:50:17.611
  • You need to worship in spirit and in truth.
  • 00:50:17.611 --> 00:50:19.413
  • Father, i think. come on, somebody dig up that.
  • 00:50:19.413 --> 00:50:21.815
  • Well, right now.
  • 00:50:21.815 --> 00:50:23.250
  • I thank you, god, for proper alignment in this time.
  • 00:50:23.250 --> 00:50:27.654
  • Father, i thank you in advance for what this is going to do.
  • 00:50:28.855 --> 00:50:31.591
  • Somebody say, let it be so.
  • 00:50:32.192 --> 00:50:35.462
  • Oh, come on,
  • 00:50:35.796 --> 00:50:37.764
  • I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
  • 00:50:37.764 --> 00:50:41.401
  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:50:42.235 --> 00:50:43.837
  • We don't tell people what to give.
  • 00:50:43.837 --> 00:50:45.739
  • What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
  • 00:50:45.739 --> 00:50:50.177
  • That we do around the united states and around the world.
  • 00:50:50.177 --> 00:50:53.480
  • Whether it's distributing the gospel
  • 00:50:54.247 --> 00:50:55.816
  • In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
  • 00:50:55.816 --> 00:50:59.853
  • Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states.
  • 00:51:01.354 --> 00:51:04.658
  • Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
  • 00:51:05.792 --> 00:51:11.965
  • Your.
  • 00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:12.199
