  • Pastor matt hagee: have you ever been tasked
  • 00:00:19.335 --> 00:00:20.003
  • Ever been tasked with something that
  • 00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:20.770
  • With something that you thought was just
  • 00:00:20.837 --> 00:00:22.272
  • You thought was just absolutely beyond your ability
  • 00:00:22.338 --> 00:00:24.407
  • Absolutely beyond your ability to do, impossible
  • 00:00:24.474 --> 00:00:26.876
  • To do, impossible some would say?
  • 00:00:26.943 --> 00:00:29.145
  • Some would say? the resources that
  • 00:00:29.212 --> 00:00:30.080
  • The resources that were required,
  • 00:00:30.146 --> 00:00:30.947
  • Were required, you didn't know where
  • 00:00:31.014 --> 00:00:31.748
  • You didn't know where you would find them.
  • 00:00:31.815 --> 00:00:32.715
  • You would find them. the time that it
  • 00:00:32.782 --> 00:00:33.483
  • The time that it would take to do it,
  • 00:00:33.550 --> 00:00:34.317
  • Would take to do it, you didn't know if you had it.
  • 00:00:34.384 --> 00:00:36.386
  • You didn't know if you had it. you didn't even really
  • 00:00:36.453 --> 00:00:37.720
  • You didn't even really understand where to begin
  • 00:00:37.787 --> 00:00:39.222
  • Understand where to begin because the problem
  • 00:00:39.289 --> 00:00:40.023
  • Because the problem was so large.
  • 00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:41.524
  • Was so large. then add to all of those details
  • 00:00:41.591 --> 00:00:43.960
  • Then add to all of those details the fear that you
  • 00:00:44.027 --> 00:00:44.761
  • The fear that you have in any endeavor that,
  • 00:00:44.828 --> 00:00:47.197
  • Have in any endeavor that, "what if it doesn't succeed,
  • 00:00:47.263 --> 00:00:48.398
  • "what if it doesn't succeed, what if i fail?"
  • 00:00:48.465 --> 00:00:49.933
  • What if i fail?" and then beyond that,
  • 00:00:49.999 --> 00:00:51.634
  • And then beyond that, "who on earth is
  • 00:00:51.701 --> 00:00:52.769
  • "who on earth is going to help me?"
  • 00:00:52.836 --> 00:00:55.405
  • Going to help me?" this is exactly where we find
  • 00:00:55.472 --> 00:00:57.774
  • This is exactly where we find the inhabitants of the city
  • 00:00:57.841 --> 00:00:59.309
  • The inhabitants of the city of jerusalem
  • 00:00:59.375 --> 00:01:00.877

  • Comes to them with the word of the lord.
  • 00:01:03.546 --> 00:01:06.015
  • The word of the lord. i asked our production
  • 00:01:06.082 --> 00:01:06.916
  • I asked our production department to create a graphic
  • 00:01:06.983 --> 00:01:08.885
  • Department to create a graphic that would kind of help us
  • 00:01:08.952 --> 00:01:10.253
  • That would kind of help us understand where we are
  • 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:11.488
  • Understand where we are in israel's history.
  • 00:01:11.554 --> 00:01:13.256
  • In israel's history. there's three nations that
  • 00:01:13.323 --> 00:01:14.858
  • There's three nations that i want you to pay attention to.

  • For several generations, the children of israel and judah
  • 00:01:33.143 --> 00:01:35.645
  • The children of israel and judah have been ignoring
  • 00:01:35.712 --> 00:01:36.880

  • The warnings of prophets like isaiah and jeremiah.
  • 00:01:38.214 --> 00:01:40.049
  • Like isaiah and jeremiah. and they warned them,
  • 00:01:40.116 --> 00:01:41.284
  • And they warned them, "if you do not repent,
  • 00:01:41.351 --> 00:01:42.685
  • "if you do not repent, if you do not quit

  • Following false gods, if you do not quit
  • 00:01:45.188 --> 00:01:46.122
  • If you do not quit bowing down to idols,
  • 00:01:46.189 --> 00:01:47.423
  • Bowing down to idols, then there is going to
  • 00:01:47.490 --> 00:01:48.725
  • Then there is going to arise another nation,
  • 00:01:48.791 --> 00:01:50.760
  • Arise another nation, and they are going to come
  • 00:01:50.827 --> 00:01:52.128

  • But instead of finding the capital city where david
  • 00:03:36.866 --> 00:03:38.101
  • The capital city where david and solomon set on their throne,
  • 00:03:38.167 --> 00:03:40.703

  • There's so much work to do. where do you begin?
  • 00:03:48.077 --> 00:03:48.978
  • Where do you begin? what if we fail?
  • 00:03:49.045 --> 00:03:50.580
  • What if we fail? who on earth
  • 00:03:50.647 --> 00:03:51.914

  • Joshua and zerubbabel return with these exiles,
  • 00:03:55.485 --> 00:03:56.953
  • Return with these exiles, and as they begin
  • 00:03:57.020 --> 00:03:58.087
  • And as they begin to do the work,
  • 00:03:58.154 --> 00:03:58.955
  • To do the work, they start to get discouraged
  • 00:03:59.022 --> 00:04:00.657
  • They start to get discouraged and they start to get depressed,
  • 00:04:00.723 --> 00:04:01.891
  • And they start to get depressed, because they recognize that
  • 00:04:01.958 --> 00:04:03.059
  • Because they recognize that this is an overwhelming task.
  • 00:04:03.126 --> 00:04:06.329
  • This is an overwhelming task. and so in their discouragement
  • 00:04:06.396 --> 00:04:07.597
  • And so in their discouragement and their depression,
  • 00:04:07.664 --> 00:04:08.531
  • And their depression, they get distracted.
  • 00:04:08.598 --> 00:04:11.301
  • They get distracted. this is when god sends
  • 00:04:11.367 --> 00:04:12.535
  • This is when god sends his prophet haggai
  • 00:04:12.602 --> 00:04:13.703
  • His prophet haggai with the word that we read
  • 00:04:13.770 --> 00:04:14.671
  • With the word that we read from the second chapter.
  • 00:04:14.737 --> 00:04:16.072
  • From the second chapter. he looks at the discouraged
  • 00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:17.140
  • He looks at the discouraged souls in jerusalem
  • 00:04:17.206 --> 00:04:19.175
  • Souls in jerusalem and he brings them a message
  • 00:04:19.242 --> 00:04:20.677
  • And he brings them a message that encourages them
  • 00:04:20.743 --> 00:04:21.911
  • That encourages them in their moment of need.
  • 00:04:21.978 --> 00:04:23.980
  • In their moment of need. throughout these prophecies,
  • 00:04:24.047 --> 00:04:25.048
  • Throughout these prophecies, we read about very specific
  • 00:04:25.114 --> 00:04:26.549
  • We read about very specific names, joshua and zerubbabel.
  • 00:04:26.616 --> 00:04:28.685
  • Names, joshua and zerubbabel. but let's not stop there
  • 00:04:28.751 --> 00:04:30.053
  • But let's not stop there because the lord tells
  • 00:04:30.119 --> 00:04:31.087
  • Because the lord tells them very clearly.
  • 00:04:31.154 --> 00:04:32.422
  • Them very clearly. he says, "now you be strong,
  • 00:04:32.488 --> 00:04:34.324
  • He says, "now you be strong, zerubbabel...
  • 00:04:34.390 --> 00:04:35.858
  • Zerubbabel... and you be strong, joshua...
  • 00:04:35.925 --> 00:04:38.494
  • And you be strong, joshua... and you be strong,
  • 00:04:38.561 --> 00:04:40.163
  • And you be strong, all you people of the land."
  • 00:04:40.229 --> 00:04:44.867
  • All you people of the land." who's included?
  • 00:04:44.934 --> 00:04:46.135
  • Who's included? all you people of the land.
  • 00:04:46.202 --> 00:04:50.406
  • All you people of the land. so don't think for a moment
  • 00:04:50.473 --> 00:04:51.841
  • So don't think for a moment that you get to listen in today
  • 00:04:51.908 --> 00:04:53.843
  • That you get to listen in today and not receive the word.
  • 00:04:53.910 --> 00:04:56.245
  • And not receive the word. you can't eavesdrop on this.
  • 00:04:56.312 --> 00:04:58.348
  • You can't eavesdrop on this. this isn't for them.
  • 00:04:58.414 --> 00:05:00.016
  • This isn't for them. this is for you.
  • 00:05:00.083 --> 00:05:03.086
  • This is for you. there are times when god
  • 00:05:03.152 --> 00:05:04.187
  • There are times when god leaves no room for doubt
  • 00:05:04.253 --> 00:05:05.822
  • Leaves no room for doubt and he points the finger
  • 00:05:05.888 --> 00:05:07.023
  • And he points the finger right into your soul.
  • 00:05:07.090 --> 00:05:08.157
  • Right into your soul. and he says, "this isn't for
  • 00:05:08.224 --> 00:05:09.459
  • And he says, "this isn't for anyone, this isn't for someone.
  • 00:05:09.525 --> 00:05:11.894
  • Anyone, this isn't for someone. this is for you, my child."
  • 00:05:11.961 --> 00:05:14.997
  • This is for you, my child." who's he talking to?
  • 00:05:15.064 --> 00:05:16.699
  • Who's he talking to? you.
  • 00:05:16.766 --> 00:05:18.768
  • You. and here's what he has to say,
  • 00:05:18.835 --> 00:05:21.003
  • And here's what he has to say, "be strong and work;
  • 00:05:21.070 --> 00:05:24.607
  • "be strong and work; for i am with you."
  • 00:05:24.674 --> 00:05:30.346
  • For i am with you." now that's simple.
  • 00:05:30.413 --> 00:05:32.749
  • Now that's simple. but how many of you know that
  • 00:05:32.815 --> 00:05:33.583
  • But how many of you know that simple ain't always easy?
  • 00:05:33.649 --> 00:05:38.388
  • Simple ain't always easy? i mean, if you think simple
  • 00:05:38.454 --> 00:05:39.489
  • I mean, if you think simple is easy, try marriage.
  • 00:05:39.555 --> 00:05:40.523
  • [laughter]
  • 00:05:41.324 --> 00:05:43.025
  • I'm just gonna leave that alone.
  • 00:05:46.429 --> 00:05:47.463
  • I'm just gonna leave that alone. just let it set.
  • 00:05:47.530 --> 00:05:49.265
  • Just let it set. god'll use it.
  • 00:05:49.332 --> 00:05:52.935
  • God'll use it. "be strong and work,
  • 00:05:53.002 --> 00:05:56.172
  • "be strong and work, for i am with you,"
  • 00:05:56.239 --> 00:05:58.474
  • For i am with you," says the lord of hosts.
  • 00:05:58.541 --> 00:06:00.810
  • Says the lord of hosts. you see, this word came to a
  • 00:06:00.877 --> 00:06:02.345
  • You see, this word came to a people who returned to a city
  • 00:06:02.412 --> 00:06:04.947
  • People who returned to a city that was lying in ruin,
  • 00:06:05.014 --> 00:06:07.049
  • That was lying in ruin, and their responsibility
  • 00:06:07.116 --> 00:06:08.184
  • And their responsibility was to rebuild it.
  • 00:06:08.251 --> 00:06:09.852
  • Was to rebuild it. and when they began to rebuild
  • 00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:10.787
  • And when they began to rebuild it, they met resistance,
  • 00:06:10.853 --> 00:06:12.255
  • It, they met resistance, and when the resistance started,
  • 00:06:12.321 --> 00:06:13.856
  • And when the resistance started, they allowed the resistance not
  • 00:06:13.923 --> 00:06:15.158
  • They allowed the resistance not only to bring discouragement
  • 00:06:15.224 --> 00:06:16.626
  • Only to bring discouragement but to start a time
  • 00:06:16.692 --> 00:06:17.660
  • But to start a time of depression.
  • 00:06:17.727 --> 00:06:18.528
  • Of depression. and then they decided
  • 00:06:18.594 --> 00:06:19.595
  • And then they decided that it wasn't time
  • 00:06:19.662 --> 00:06:21.130
  • That it wasn't time that we should build
  • 00:06:21.197 --> 00:06:22.031
  • That we should build the house of the lord.
  • 00:06:22.098 --> 00:06:23.032
  • The house of the lord. and so they took a break.
  • 00:06:23.099 --> 00:06:25.368
  • And so they took a break. and what they did during the
  • 00:06:25.435 --> 00:06:26.169
  • And what they did during the break is they got distracted.
  • 00:06:26.235 --> 00:06:27.670
  • Break is they got distracted. they started building
  • 00:06:27.737 --> 00:06:28.638
  • They started building their own houses.
  • 00:06:28.704 --> 00:06:30.640
  • Their own houses. have you ever known somebody
  • 00:06:30.706 --> 00:06:31.641
  • Have you ever known somebody who started out to do something
  • 00:06:31.707 --> 00:06:32.775
  • Who started out to do something for god and instead
  • 00:06:32.842 --> 00:06:33.910
  • For god and instead of doing god's thing,
  • 00:06:33.976 --> 00:06:35.077
  • Of doing god's thing, they started doing their thing?
  • 00:06:35.144 --> 00:06:37.346
  • They started doing their thing? and they said, "oh, sometime,
  • 00:06:37.413 --> 00:06:38.481
  • And they said, "oh, sometime, someday, i'll get back
  • 00:06:38.548 --> 00:06:39.782
  • Someday, i'll get back to doing what god
  • 00:06:39.849 --> 00:06:40.716
  • To doing what god called me to do.
  • 00:06:40.783 --> 00:06:41.751
  • Called me to do. it's just not the right
  • 00:06:41.818 --> 00:06:42.518
  • It's just not the right time right now.
  • 00:06:42.585 --> 00:06:43.953
  • Time right now. i mean, the door is not open,
  • 00:06:44.020 --> 00:06:46.556
  • I mean, the door is not open, the mountain has not moved."
  • 00:06:46.622 --> 00:06:47.857
  • The mountain has not moved." they'll come up with all
  • 00:06:47.924 --> 00:06:48.825
  • They'll come up with all kinds of spiritual platitudes.
  • 00:06:48.891 --> 00:06:49.959
  • Kinds of spiritual platitudes. but at the end of the day,
  • 00:06:50.026 --> 00:06:51.194
  • But at the end of the day, if you know what god wants you
  • 00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:52.562
  • If you know what god wants you to do and you're not doing that,
  • 00:06:52.628 --> 00:06:53.896
  • To do and you're not doing that, that's not called delay.
  • 00:06:53.963 --> 00:06:55.198
  • That's not called delay. that's called disobedience.
  • 00:06:55.264 --> 00:06:59.101
  • That's called disobedience. and so god sends haggai,
  • 00:06:59.168 --> 00:07:00.470
  • And so god sends haggai, and the first prophecy
  • 00:07:00.536 --> 00:07:01.504
  • And the first prophecy that haggai brings
  • 00:07:01.571 --> 00:07:02.405
  • That haggai brings in chapter one
  • 00:07:02.472 --> 00:07:03.372
  • In chapter one is what i call a wake-up call.
  • 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.975
  • Is what i call a wake-up call. and here's what
  • 00:07:06.042 --> 00:07:06.642
  • And here's what the wake-up call says.
  • 00:07:06.709 --> 00:07:09.078
  • The wake-up call says. it's found in haggai 1:3-8.
  • 00:07:09.145 --> 00:07:12.815
  • It's found in haggai 1:3-8. and in haggai 1:3-8,
  • 00:07:12.882 --> 00:07:14.617
  • And in haggai 1:3-8, the lord says to these people,
  • 00:07:14.684 --> 00:07:16.085
  • The lord says to these people, he says, "how is it that you
  • 00:07:16.152 --> 00:07:17.487
  • He says, "how is it that you find time to build your house,
  • 00:07:17.553 --> 00:07:19.822
  • Find time to build your house, but my house lies in ruin?"
  • 00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:23.726
  • But my house lies in ruin?" for 16 years, they let this
  • 00:07:23.793 --> 00:07:26.796
  • For 16 years, they let this building project sit.
  • 00:07:26.863 --> 00:07:29.599
  • Building project sit. now if you
  • 00:07:29.665 --> 00:07:30.466
  • Now if you wanna take a break,
  • 00:07:30.533 --> 00:07:32.468
  • Wanna take a break, six weeks maybe.
  • 00:07:32.535 --> 00:07:35.638
  • Six weeks maybe. but when you take 16 years off,
  • 00:07:35.705 --> 00:07:40.176
  • But when you take 16 years off, you're not delaying,
  • 00:07:40.243 --> 00:07:41.244
  • You're not delaying, you've canceled.
  • 00:07:41.310 --> 00:07:44.146
  • You've canceled. and here's what god says,
  • 00:07:44.213 --> 00:07:46.516
  • And here's what god says, "because you are doing your
  • 00:07:46.582 --> 00:07:47.483
  • "because you are doing your thing and not my thing,
  • 00:07:47.550 --> 00:07:50.119
  • Thing and not my thing, you are working hard,

  • You can to earn wages, but you still can't get ahead."
  • 00:07:56.559 --> 00:07:58.094
  • But you still can't get ahead." the specific language says
  • 00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.729
  • The specific language says in verse six of chapter one,
  • 00:07:59.795 --> 00:08:01.998
  • In verse six of chapter one, "you've sown much but

  • This little church right here get built."
  • 00:12:27.797 --> 00:12:28.898
  • Right here get built." have you ever noticed how
  • 00:12:28.964 --> 00:12:30.199
  • Have you ever noticed how when those who are against you
  • 00:12:30.266 --> 00:12:31.400
  • When those who are against you start to over exaggerate,
  • 00:12:31.467 --> 00:12:32.568
  • Start to over exaggerate, you become the reason
  • 00:12:32.635 --> 00:12:33.636
  • You become the reason why the whole world
  • 00:12:33.702 --> 00:12:34.436
  • Why the whole world is gonna fall apart?
  • 00:12:34.503 --> 00:12:37.173
  • Is gonna fall apart? i mean, from this
  • 00:12:37.239 --> 00:12:38.340
  • I mean, from this little building project,
  • 00:12:38.407 --> 00:12:39.308
  • Little building project, they make the king believe that
  • 00:12:39.375 --> 00:12:40.976
  • They make the king believe that he's gonna lose everything.
  • 00:12:41.043 --> 00:12:44.814
  • He's gonna lose everything. so this persian king goes
  • 00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:46.382
  • So this persian king goes and he makes a decree
  • 00:12:46.448 --> 00:12:47.349
  • And he makes a decree and he writes the decree
  • 00:12:47.416 --> 00:12:48.350
  • And he writes the decree in ezra chapter four.
  • 00:12:48.417 --> 00:12:50.052
  • In ezra chapter four. and in that decree he says,
  • 00:12:50.119 --> 00:12:51.620
  • And in that decree he says, "anyone who builds this temple
  • 00:12:51.687 --> 00:12:53.722
  • "anyone who builds this temple should be hung on
  • 00:12:53.789 --> 00:12:55.191
  • Should be hung on a stake in his house."
  • 00:12:55.257 --> 00:12:57.927
  • A stake in his house." what does that mean,
  • 00:12:57.993 --> 00:12:58.661
  • What does that mean, that means they're gonna
  • 00:12:58.727 --> 00:12:59.461
  • That means they're gonna take a piece of wood
  • 00:12:59.528 --> 00:13:00.229
  • Take a piece of wood out of the house,
  • 00:13:00.296 --> 00:13:01.030
  • Out of the house, sharpen it to a point
  • 00:13:01.096 --> 00:13:01.797
  • Sharpen it to a point and drop you on it.
  • 00:13:01.864 --> 00:13:03.833
  • And drop you on it. now, how many of you know what
  • 00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:05.034
  • Now, how many of you know what cease and desist sounds like?
  • 00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:08.571
  • Cease and desist sounds like? and then there's
  • 00:13:08.637 --> 00:13:09.271
  • And then there's internal depression.
  • 00:13:09.338 --> 00:13:11.540
  • Internal depression. because when they start
  • 00:13:11.607 --> 00:13:12.341
  • Because when they start this building project,
  • 00:13:12.408 --> 00:13:13.409
  • This building project, they don't have the resources
  • 00:13:13.475 --> 00:13:14.810
  • They don't have the resources that solomon had.
  • 00:13:14.877 --> 00:13:17.179
  • That solomon had. solomon got a
  • 00:13:17.246 --> 00:13:18.080
  • Solomon got a $50 million offering.
  • 00:13:18.147 --> 00:13:20.015
  • [laughter]
  • 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.955
  • Just had to pause
  • 00:13:26.589 --> 00:13:27.189
  • Just had to pause and let that soak.
  • 00:13:27.256 --> 00:13:32.928
  • And let that soak. these guys were just stacking
  • 00:13:32.995 --> 00:13:34.263
  • These guys were just stacking rocks and rubble out of ruins.
  • 00:13:34.330 --> 00:13:38.200
  • Rocks and rubble out of ruins. how are we gonna do this?
  • 00:13:38.267 --> 00:13:41.537
  • How are we gonna do this? there's a story in the
  • 00:13:41.604 --> 00:13:42.371
  • There's a story in the book of ezra, chapter five,
  • 00:13:42.438 --> 00:13:43.706
  • Book of ezra, chapter five, that whenever they came and
  • 00:13:43.772 --> 00:13:44.673
  • That whenever they came and they laid the foundation,
  • 00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:47.209
  • They laid the foundation, that there were two groups
  • 00:13:47.276 --> 00:13:48.177
  • That there were two groups of people that were there
  • 00:13:48.244 --> 00:13:49.245
  • Of people that were there at that dedication service.
  • 00:13:49.311 --> 00:13:50.679
  • At that dedication service. one group was a young group
  • 00:13:50.746 --> 00:13:52.414
  • One group was a young group that was too young
  • 00:13:52.481 --> 00:13:53.482
  • That was too young to remember solomon's temple.
  • 00:13:53.549 --> 00:13:54.783
  • To remember solomon's temple. they'd never seen it,
  • 00:13:54.850 --> 00:13:55.684
  • They'd never seen it, they'd only heard about it.
  • 00:13:55.751 --> 00:13:57.119
  • They'd only heard about it. and another group
  • 00:13:57.186 --> 00:13:57.987
  • And another group was an older group
  • 00:13:58.053 --> 00:13:58.888
  • Was an older group that was actually
  • 00:13:58.954 --> 00:13:59.588
  • That was actually exiled from jerusalem
  • 00:13:59.655 --> 00:14:00.990
  • Exiled from jerusalem who remembered how glorious
  • 00:14:01.056 --> 00:14:02.625
  • Who remembered how glorious solomon's house was.
  • 00:14:02.691 --> 00:14:04.126
  • Solomon's house was. and they said that whenever
  • 00:14:04.193 --> 00:14:05.094
  • And they said that whenever they laid the foundation,
  • 00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:06.962
  • They laid the foundation, that there was a loud cry
  • 00:14:07.029 --> 00:14:08.831
  • That there was a loud cry except the problem was
  • 00:14:08.898 --> 00:14:10.065
  • Except the problem was the young group cried for
  • 00:14:10.132 --> 00:14:11.433
  • The young group cried for joy believing about what god
  • 00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:12.835
  • Joy believing about what god could do, and the old
  • 00:14:12.902 --> 00:14:14.503
  • Could do, and the old group cried in sorrow
  • 00:14:14.570 --> 00:14:16.005
  • Group cried in sorrow because they thought, "it'll
  • 00:14:16.071 --> 00:14:17.039
  • Because they thought, "it'll never be like it used to be."
  • 00:14:17.106 --> 00:14:21.110
  • Never be like it used to be." and so with this divided house,
  • 00:14:21.176 --> 00:14:22.611
  • And so with this divided house, discouragement starts
  • 00:14:22.678 --> 00:14:23.545
  • Discouragement starts to seep in.
  • 00:14:23.612 --> 00:14:25.981
  • To seep in. "we're not gonna
  • 00:14:26.048 --> 00:14:26.815
  • "we're not gonna rebuild this thing,
  • 00:14:26.882 --> 00:14:27.549
  • Rebuild this thing, we're just restacking rocks.
  • 00:14:27.616 --> 00:14:30.252
  • We're just restacking rocks. we're not ever gonna make it
  • 00:14:30.319 --> 00:14:31.287
  • We're not ever gonna make it like it used to be.
  • 00:14:31.353 --> 00:14:33.322
  • Like it used to be. we might as well give up."
  • 00:14:33.389 --> 00:14:35.724
  • We might as well give up." let me ask you this,
  • 00:14:35.791 --> 00:14:36.825
  • Let me ask you this, what in the world

  • What in the world discourages you?
  • 00:14:37.526 --> 00:14:40.462
  • Discourages you? the voice of others?
  • 00:14:40.529 --> 00:14:42.831
  • The voice of others? what depresses you?
  • 00:14:42.898 --> 00:14:44.900
  • What depresses you? the idea it'll never

  • 00:14:55.110 --> 00:14:58.547
  • Be strong and work. i'm with you.
  • 00:14:58.614 --> 00:15:00.416
  • I'm with you. so that's the wake-up call.
  • 00:15:00.482 --> 00:15:03.419
  • So that's the wake-up call. and in haggai chapter two,
  • 00:15:03.485 --> 00:15:05.521
  • And in haggai chapter two, we get the shake-up call.
  • 00:15:05.587 --> 00:15:08.190
  • We get the shake-up call. now here's the thing
  • 00:15:08.257 --> 00:15:08.857
  • Now here's the thing about the shake-up call.
  • 00:15:08.924 --> 00:15:11.894
  • About the shake-up call. the wake up is your job.
  • 00:15:11.961 --> 00:15:14.697
  • The wake up is your job. the shake-up is god's job.
  • 00:15:14.763 --> 00:15:18.067
  • The shake-up is god's job. and so many times whenever
  • 00:15:18.133 --> 00:15:19.501
  • And so many times whenever we hear a word from the lord,
  • 00:15:19.568 --> 00:15:21.003
  • We hear a word from the lord, we don't really wanna worry
  • 00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:22.304
  • We don't really wanna worry about what he's asking us to do.
  • 00:15:22.371 --> 00:15:24.139
  • About what he's asking us to do. we start worrying about, well,
  • 00:15:24.206 --> 00:15:25.307
  • We start worrying about, well, what are you going to do?
  • 00:15:25.374 --> 00:15:27.743
  • What are you going to do? don't worry about the shake-up.
  • 00:15:27.810 --> 00:15:28.877
  • Don't worry about the shake-up. that's his job.
  • 00:15:28.944 --> 00:15:30.879
  • That's his job. you just wake up,
  • 00:15:30.946 --> 00:15:33.382
  • You just wake up, so that when he
  • 00:15:33.449 --> 00:15:34.383
  • So that when he starts to shake-up,
  • 00:15:34.450 --> 00:15:36.352
  • Starts to shake-up, you get to benefit
  • 00:15:36.418 --> 00:15:37.419
  • You get to benefit from what he's shaking.
  • 00:15:37.486 --> 00:15:40.289
  • From what he's shaking. because he is going to do
  • 00:15:40.356 --> 00:15:41.357
  • Because he is going to do what he's going to do
  • 00:15:41.423 --> 00:15:42.491
  • What he's going to do no matter what you do.
  • 00:15:42.558 --> 00:15:45.561
  • No matter what you do. now, that's bad english,
  • 00:15:45.627 --> 00:15:46.428
  • Now, that's bad english, but it's good preaching.
  • 00:15:46.495 --> 00:15:47.329
  • [laughter]
  • 00:15:48.097 --> 00:15:49.999
  • And what you need to understand
  • 00:15:50.566 --> 00:15:51.400
  • And what you need to understand is when god starts
  • 00:15:51.467 --> 00:15:52.434
  • Is when god starts to shake things up,
  • 00:15:52.501 --> 00:15:53.602
  • To shake things up, just like he said he would,
  • 00:15:53.669 --> 00:15:55.137
  • Just like he said he would, he's going to shake it,
  • 00:15:55.204 --> 00:15:56.638
  • He's going to shake it, and whenever it starts
  • 00:15:56.705 --> 00:15:57.606
  • And whenever it starts to fall apart,
  • 00:15:57.673 --> 00:15:58.540
  • To fall apart, if you are on his side,
  • 00:15:58.607 --> 00:16:00.175
  • If you are on his side, you get to receive the blessings
  • 00:16:00.242 --> 00:16:02.011
  • You get to receive the blessings of what he's shaking
  • 00:16:02.077 --> 00:16:03.045
  • Of what he's shaking and breaking and moving.
  • 00:16:03.112 --> 00:16:05.180
  • And breaking and moving. but if you haven't woken up,
  • 00:16:05.247 --> 00:16:08.217
  • But if you haven't woken up, then you are just
  • 00:16:08.283 --> 00:16:08.984
  • Then you are just gonna start shaking
  • 00:16:09.051 --> 00:16:09.952
  • Gonna start shaking and wondering what
  • 00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:10.652
  • And wondering what on earth is going on?
  • 00:16:10.719 --> 00:16:13.489
  • On earth is going on? god gives him a shake-up call.
  • 00:16:13.555 --> 00:16:14.757
  • God gives him a shake-up call. you say, "why do
  • 00:16:14.823 --> 00:16:15.491
  • You say, "why do you call it that?"
  • 00:16:15.557 --> 00:16:16.091
  • You call it that?" well, that's what he said.
  • 00:16:16.158 --> 00:16:18.394
  • Well, that's what he said. verse six, "thus says
  • 00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:19.728
  • Verse six, "thus says the lord of hosts,
  • 00:16:19.795 --> 00:16:21.864
  • The lord of hosts, 'once more'" say that with me.

  • 'once more'" say that with me. "once more."
  • 00:16:24.199 --> 00:16:26.568
  • "once more." that means he did it before.
  • 00:16:26.635 --> 00:16:29.138
  • That means he did it before. and that means he'll...
  • 00:16:29.204 --> 00:16:31.240
  • And that means he'll... okay.
  • 00:16:31.306 --> 00:16:32.941
  • Okay. "once more,

  • Who's gonna do it? god.
  • 00:16:39.214 --> 00:16:40.883
  • God. "'i will shake heaven

  • "'i will shake heaven and earth the sea and dry land,

  • Temple with glory,' says the lord of hosts."
  • 00:16:51.627 --> 00:16:53.996
  • Says the lord of hosts." now if we're worried about
  • 00:16:54.063 --> 00:16:55.130
  • Now if we're worried about what we're going to do,

  • The question is, where will you be
  • 00:17:21.256 --> 00:17:22.324
