- Want to
- 00:00:00.023 --> 00:00:01.257
- Take this moment to remind someone who needs to hear this,
- 00:00:01.257 --> 00:00:03.993
- That you and i serve christ,
- 00:00:04.561 --> 00:00:07.964
- The strong tower.
- 00:00:07.964 --> 00:00:10.300
- You can run into his presence
- 00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:13.036
- And find everything you need in his presence.
- 00:00:13.036 --> 00:00:15.505
- You can run into his presence and come out a stronger man.
- 00:00:15.505 --> 00:00:19.175
- You can run into his presence and come out as strong a woman.
- 00:00:19.175 --> 00:00:23.446
- You can run into his presence and find hope and grace
- 00:00:23.446 --> 00:00:28.151
- And help right now
- 00:00:28.585 --> 00:00:30.954
- In a time of need.
- 00:00:30.954 --> 00:00:35.959
- Tv and family.
- 00:00:36.292 --> 00:00:37.393
- I want to take a moment to talk to you about christ,
- 00:00:37.393 --> 00:00:40.997
- Our strong tower.
- 00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:43.099
- I know many of you have probably read in the book of psalms
- 00:00:43.099 --> 00:00:46.769
- About the lord being a strong tower,
- 00:00:46.769 --> 00:00:49.272
- A place where we could run to
- 00:00:49.272 --> 00:00:51.341
- And find safety and find comfort and help.
- 00:00:51.341 --> 00:00:55.145
- Man, it's one thing to read that in a devotional.
- 00:00:55.145 --> 00:00:58.014
- It's another thing to need that because life demands that.
- 00:00:58.014 --> 00:01:01.317
- And in 2025, i endured,
- 00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:04.954
- A very conflicted season.
- 00:01:04.954 --> 00:01:07.357
- 2025
- 00:01:07.357 --> 00:01:08.525
- Was the greatest season of ministry i've ever experienced
- 00:01:08.525 --> 00:01:12.362
- In my tired life.
- 00:01:12.362 --> 00:01:13.897
- And at the same time, it was also the greatest year of pain
- 00:01:13.897 --> 00:01:17.634
- I've ever experienced in my entire life.
- 00:01:17.634 --> 00:01:20.203
- 2025, for me, was a year of blessing,
- 00:01:20.203 --> 00:01:23.840
- And 2025 for me was a year of breaking.
- 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.610
- It was a year of harvesting new friends
- 00:01:27.610 --> 00:01:30.780
- And a year of accumulating new enemies.
- 00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:33.883
- And there was a moment in 2025, i remember when i got to
- 00:01:33.883 --> 00:01:37.420
- Something so difficult.
- 00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:39.155
- I was to blame for what i was going through.
- 00:01:39.155 --> 00:01:41.791
- And i remember being alone in an apartment, fasting
- 00:01:41.791 --> 00:01:45.662
- And praying, crying and seeking god, feeling like man. god.
- 00:01:45.662 --> 00:01:50.600
- The persecution i'm experiencing right now is so difficult.
- 00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:54.370
- And the hardship i'm experiencing right now.
- 00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:56.072
- So difficult.
- 00:01:56.072 --> 00:01:57.006
- I don't even want to leave this apartment.
- 00:01:57.006 --> 00:01:59.409
- I don't want to go another day forward.
- 00:01:59.409 --> 00:02:00.977
- I almost quit
- 00:02:00.977 --> 00:02:02.078
- The ministry in 2025 because the pain of something
- 00:02:02.078 --> 00:02:05.982
- I was going through was so great.
- 00:02:05.982 --> 00:02:08.017
- And some of you follow the ministry.
- 00:02:08.017 --> 00:02:09.485
- You may even know what i'm talking about.
- 00:02:09.485 --> 00:02:11.020
- Like it's not a secret.
- 00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:12.722
- And that was very, very difficult for me.
- 00:02:12.722 --> 00:02:15.258
- It was in that moment, in that season.
- 00:02:15.258 --> 00:02:17.560
- Christ, the strong tower found me on the floor
- 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.631
- Of an apartment.
- 00:02:21.631 --> 00:02:23.066
- A text message for my daughters said, father, we know you.
- 00:02:23.066 --> 00:02:27.737
- And we see what people are saying about you.
- 00:02:27.737 --> 00:02:29.372
- But we know your character. we know your heart.
- 00:02:29.372 --> 00:02:31.908
- We love you.
- 00:02:31.908 --> 00:02:33.042
- And we can't wait to see you this sunday.
- 00:02:33.042 --> 00:02:35.478
- And it was that text message for my daughters.
- 00:02:35.478 --> 00:02:38.615
- And the voice of a mentor to that week.
- 00:02:38.615 --> 00:02:42.652
- As i'm reading the scriptures about jesus being a strong tower
- 00:02:42.652 --> 00:02:45.521
- That gave me the strength to press through that weak.
- 00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:48.992
- I look back on everything god has done, in my life
- 00:02:48.992 --> 00:02:52.395
- And in our ministry since then and thought,
- 00:02:52.395 --> 00:02:54.597
- Man, if i would have quit in that moment.
- 00:02:54.597 --> 00:02:57.000
- I just came.
- 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:57.967
- Imagine all the things we would have forfeited
- 00:02:57.967 --> 00:03:00.036
- Had i quit in that moment.
- 00:03:00.036 --> 00:03:02.005
- And so i want to speak to you. my brother.
- 00:03:02.005 --> 00:03:03.806
- My sister, who's going through a very difficult season.
- 00:03:03.806 --> 00:03:07.677
- Maybe dealing with persecution.
- 00:03:08.311 --> 00:03:10.346
- Maybe you're dealing with betrayal.
- 00:03:10.346 --> 00:03:12.515
- Maybe you're dealing with something
- 00:03:12.515 --> 00:03:13.750
- That has just crushed you down to the floor and all, you know.
- 00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:16.886
- Right now is pain
- 00:03:16.886 --> 00:03:19.255
- And tears and hardship.
- 00:03:19.756 --> 00:03:23.459
- And like me, maybe your tears have become your fault.
- 00:03:23.459 --> 00:03:26.629
- I know what it is.
- 00:03:27.063 --> 00:03:27.830
- When tears have become your food.
- 00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:31.167
- Brother. my sister, i want to encourage you.
- 00:03:31.167 --> 00:03:33.303
- You're not without hope.
- 00:03:33.303 --> 00:03:34.971
- You and i serve the one who is a strong tower.
- 00:03:34.971 --> 00:03:39.375
- You can run to him in the middle of what you're going through,
- 00:03:39.375 --> 00:03:44.614
- And there you will find comfort,
- 00:03:44.614 --> 00:03:47.383
- And you will find strength,
- 00:03:47.383 --> 00:03:49.552
- And you will find guidance, and you will find answers.
- 00:03:49.552 --> 00:03:53.022
- You will find someone that fully knows you,
- 00:03:53.022 --> 00:03:56.759
- Fully loves you, fully affirms you, fully accept you.
- 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.396
- And there you can be vulnerable.
- 00:04:00.396 --> 00:04:03.132
- You can be honest.
- 00:04:03.132 --> 00:04:04.767
- You can be your authentic self.
- 00:04:04.767 --> 00:04:07.303
- And when you have nothing to say,
- 00:04:07.303 --> 00:04:10.306
- Because pain won't allow you to be able
- 00:04:10.306 --> 00:04:13.142
- To articulate what you're going on, you can read your tears.
- 00:04:13.142 --> 00:04:16.913
- He can read your mind
- 00:04:17.413 --> 00:04:19.349
- And he knows the pain that you are going through.
- 00:04:19.349 --> 00:04:22.885
- I want to take this moment to remind someone who needs
- 00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:27.090
- To hear this, that you and i serve christ,
- 00:04:27.090 --> 00:04:31.427
- The strong tower.
- 00:04:31.861 --> 00:04:34.197
- You can run into his presence
- 00:04:34.197 --> 00:04:36.933
- And find everything you need in his presence.
- 00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:39.402
- You can run into his presence and come out a stronger man.
- 00:04:39.402 --> 00:04:43.072
- You can run into his presence and come out as strong a woman.
- 00:04:43.072 --> 00:04:47.343
- You can run into his presence and find hope and grace
- 00:04:47.343 --> 00:04:52.482
- And help right now in a time of need.
- 00:04:52.482 --> 00:04:57.086
- If you are a son and daughter
- 00:04:57.086 --> 00:05:00.223
- Of the most high, you are never without that covering.
- 00:05:00.223 --> 00:05:03.960
- You are covered by christ, who is a strong tower.
- 00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:10.466
- He is stronger than you.
- 00:05:10.466 --> 00:05:12.602
- He is stronger than me, and that strength is available to you.
- 00:05:12.602 --> 00:05:16.172
- So my brother and sister,
- 00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:18.141
- Don't
- 00:05:18.374 --> 00:05:19.208
- Try to go to this alone another day.
- 00:05:19.208 --> 00:05:21.677
- I want to encourage you to run into the arms
- 00:05:21.677 --> 00:05:23.579
- Of the one who loves you, and who is to you.
- 00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:26.315
- And i, a strong
- 00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:29.519
- Tower.
- 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:29.519
