- 00:01:50.036 --> 00:01:51.271
- Through this sermon series we've looked in the words
- 00:01:51.337 --> 00:01:52.839
- We've looked in the words of the prophet joel,
- 00:01:52.906 --> 00:01:54.040
- Of the prophet joel, and we've looked at the words
- 00:01:54.107 --> 00:01:54.908
- And we've looked at the words in the book of acts.
- 00:01:54.974 --> 00:01:56.943
- In the book of acts. and in both passages,
- 00:01:57.010 --> 00:01:59.245
- And in both passages, the prophet and peter,
- 00:01:59.312 --> 00:02:01.080
- The prophet and peter, on the day of pentecost,
- 00:02:01.147 --> 00:02:03.116
- On the day of pentecost, tell those who are listening
- 00:02:03.183 --> 00:02:04.284
- Tell those who are listening that there would come
- 00:02:04.350 --> 00:02:05.051
- That there would come a time when god was not
- 00:02:05.118 --> 00:02:05.985
- A time when god was not going to pour our his spirit
- 00:02:06.052 --> 00:02:07.587
- Going to pour our his spirit on a prophet, but he was going
- 00:02:07.654 --> 00:02:08.888
- On a prophet, but he was going to pour it out on all flesh,
- 00:02:08.955 --> 00:02:11.224
- To pour it out on all flesh, and that young men
- 00:02:11.291 --> 00:02:12.125
- And that young men would have visions.
- 00:02:12.192 --> 00:02:13.159
- Would have visions. vision is a hopeful
- 00:02:13.226 --> 00:02:14.260
- Vision is a hopeful thing in the future.
- 00:02:14.327 --> 00:02:15.728
- Thing in the future. and old men would dream dreams.
- 00:02:15.795 --> 00:02:17.430
- And old men would dream dreams. dreams are things that you
- 00:02:17.497 --> 00:02:18.731
- Dreams are things that you are expecting god to do.
- 00:02:18.798 --> 00:02:22.001
- Are expecting god to do. we live in that time.
- 00:02:22.068 --> 00:02:24.537
- We live in that time. we live in an hour
- 00:02:24.604 --> 00:02:25.905
- We live in an hour when god says,
- 00:02:25.972 --> 00:02:26.806
- When god says, "if you dream it
- 00:02:26.873 --> 00:02:27.774
- "if you dream it and you put
- 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:28.341
- And you put your faith to work,
- 00:02:28.408 --> 00:02:29.375
- Your faith to work, i'll do it."
- 00:02:29.442 --> 00:02:31.744
- I'll do it." the challenge that
- 00:02:31.811 --> 00:02:32.545
- The challenge that we have is not getting
- 00:02:32.612 --> 00:02:34.214
- We have is not getting god to do his part,
- 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.248
- God to do his part, the challenge that
- 00:02:35.315 --> 00:02:35.949
- The challenge that we have is doing ours.
- 00:02:36.015 --> 00:02:38.484
- We have is doing ours. last week in the message
- 00:02:38.551 --> 00:02:39.619
- Last week in the message i shared with you how
- 00:02:39.686 --> 00:02:41.788
- I shared with you how years ago, pastor hagee,
- 00:02:41.854 --> 00:02:43.690
- Years ago, pastor hagee, attending a conference
- 00:02:43.756 --> 00:02:45.024
- Attending a conference in 1991 in tulsa, oklahoma,
- 00:02:45.091 --> 00:02:47.627
- In 1991 in tulsa, oklahoma, heard a message challenging
- 00:02:47.694 --> 00:02:49.229
- Heard a message challenging the audience to do just that,
- 00:02:49.295 --> 00:02:50.563
- The audience to do just that, write the vision
- 00:02:50.630 --> 00:02:51.331
- Write the vision and make it plain.
- 00:02:51.397 --> 00:02:52.832
- And make it plain. and so he opened his bible,
- 00:02:52.899 --> 00:02:54.334
- And so he opened his bible, and on the back cover
- 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:55.201
- And on the back cover of his bible,
- 00:02:55.268 --> 00:02:55.868
- Of his bible, he wrote very specific things.
- 00:02:55.935 --> 00:02:58.605
- He wrote very specific things. and i shared with you how
- 00:02:58.671 --> 00:02:59.706
- And i shared with you how everything that he had written
- 00:02:59.772 --> 00:03:01.608
- Everything that he had written not only came to pass,
- 00:03:01.674 --> 00:03:03.209
- Not only came to pass, but it was exceeded.
- 00:03:03.276 --> 00:03:04.978
- But it was exceeded. why?
- 00:03:05.044 --> 00:03:05.478
- Why? because the dream
- 00:03:05.545 --> 00:03:06.446
- Because the dream is just a glimpse.
- 00:03:06.512 --> 00:03:07.513
- Is just a glimpse. it's not every detail,
- 00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:08.915
- It's not every detail, it's just a picture
- 00:03:08.982 --> 00:03:10.183
- It's just a picture of a portion of what god
- 00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:11.684
- Of a portion of what god has for you.
- 00:03:11.751 --> 00:03:12.652
- Has for you. but when god delivers,
- 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.820
- But when god delivers, how many of you know
- 00:03:13.886 --> 00:03:14.821
- How many of you know that he delivers pressed down,
- 00:03:14.887 --> 00:03:16.489
- That he delivers pressed down, shaken together,
- 00:03:16.556 --> 00:03:17.423
- Shaken together, running over, exceedingly
- 00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:18.825
- Running over, exceedingly and abundantly
- 00:03:18.891 --> 00:03:19.626
- And abundantly above all that you could ask,
- 00:03:19.692 --> 00:03:21.127
- Above all that you could ask, think, or imagine?
- 00:03:21.194 --> 00:03:21.894
- [applause]
- 00:03:22.395 --> 00:03:28.468
- How did all of this happen?
- 00:03:29.002 --> 00:03:31.004
- How did all of this happen? god did it.
- 00:03:31.070 --> 00:03:32.538
- God did it. god did it.
- 00:03:32.605 --> 00:03:33.906
- God did it. god did it and god is great
- 00:03:33.973 --> 00:03:36.042
- God did it and god is great and greatly to be praised
- 00:03:36.109 --> 00:03:37.377
- And greatly to be praised for it.
- 00:03:37.443 --> 00:03:38.244
- For it. god did it because the bible
- 00:03:38.311 --> 00:03:39.812
- God did it because the bible says, "he is not a man
- 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.080
- Says, "he is not a man that he should lie."
- 00:03:41.147 --> 00:03:42.181
- That he should lie." god did it because his word
- 00:03:42.248 --> 00:03:44.117
- God did it because his word that proceeds out of his mouth
- 00:03:44.183 --> 00:03:45.485
- That proceeds out of his mouth will not return void.
- 00:03:45.551 --> 00:03:46.653
- Will not return void. god did it because he said,
- 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.154
- God did it because he said, "if you call upon me,
- 00:03:48.221 --> 00:03:49.622
- "if you call upon me, i will show you great
- 00:03:49.689 --> 00:03:50.890
- I will show you great and mighty things that
- 00:03:50.957 --> 00:03:51.824
- And mighty things that you know not."
- 00:03:51.891 --> 00:03:52.558
- You know not." god did it because he said,
- 00:03:52.625 --> 00:03:54.127
- God did it because he said, "no good thing will i withhold
- 00:03:54.193 --> 00:03:56.296
- "no good thing will i withhold from those who diligently
- 00:03:56.362 --> 00:03:57.697
- From those who diligently seek me."
- 00:03:57.764 --> 00:03:58.531
- Seek me." god did it because all
- 00:03:58.598 --> 00:04:00.166
- God did it because all things are possible
- 00:04:00.233 --> 00:04:01.901
- Things are possible to those who believe.
- 00:04:01.968 --> 00:04:03.236
- To those who believe. god did it because he is
- 00:04:03.303 --> 00:04:04.771
- God did it because he is the same yesterday,
- 00:04:04.837 --> 00:04:06.239
- The same yesterday, today and forever.
- 00:04:06.306 --> 00:04:08.174
- Today and forever. and if he did it then,
- 00:04:08.241 --> 00:04:09.142
- And if he did it then, he can do it now.
- 00:04:09.208 --> 00:04:10.576
- He can do it now. so child of god,
- 00:04:10.643 --> 00:04:11.811
- So child of god, put your faith in him
- 00:04:11.878 --> 00:04:13.446
- Put your faith in him who has not failed and find him
- 00:04:13.513 --> 00:04:15.548
- Who has not failed and find him faithful to keep his word,
- 00:04:15.615 --> 00:04:17.450
- Faithful to keep his word, because if he did it for one,
- 00:04:17.517 --> 00:04:19.185
- Because if he did it for one, he'll do it for you.
- 00:04:19.252 --> 00:04:20.353
- [applause]
- 00:04:20.887 --> 00:04:25.425
- Today, we read in galatians 6:9
- 00:04:26.159 --> 00:04:27.994
- Today, we read in galatians 6:9 that there is a due season.
- 00:04:28.061 --> 00:04:31.664
- That there is a due season. nature has four seasons:
- 00:04:31.731 --> 00:04:33.866
- Nature has four seasons: winter, spring, summer, fall.
- 00:04:33.933 --> 00:04:36.602
- Winter, spring, summer, fall. texas has summer,
- 00:04:36.669 --> 00:04:37.904
- Texas has summer, summer, summer,
- 00:04:37.970 --> 00:04:39.272
- Summer, summer, and a cold front.
- 00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:40.273
- [laughter]
- 00:04:40.707 --> 00:04:44.377
- But when you're a child of god,
- 00:04:46.779 --> 00:04:47.980
- But when you're a child of god, god has a fifth season,
- 00:04:48.047 --> 00:04:50.717
- God has a fifth season, and it's called due season.
- 00:04:50.783 --> 00:04:53.219
- And it's called due season. and the thing about due season,
- 00:04:53.286 --> 00:04:55.488
- And the thing about due season, you're familiar
- 00:04:55.555 --> 00:04:56.222
- You're familiar with the word "due,"
- 00:04:56.289 --> 00:04:57.490
- With the word "due," it's what your credit card
- 00:04:57.557 --> 00:04:59.625
- It's what your credit card company sends you at
- 00:04:59.692 --> 00:05:00.760
- Company sends you at the end of the month.
- 00:05:00.827 --> 00:05:03.429
- The end of the month. due season is when what has
- 00:05:03.496 --> 00:05:05.698
- Due season is when what has been charged needs to be paid.
- 00:05:05.765 --> 00:05:08.701
- Been charged needs to be paid. it's when the fees are owed.
- 00:05:08.768 --> 00:05:12.105
- It's when the fees are owed. and so when the holy spirit
- 00:05:12.171 --> 00:05:13.339
- And so when the holy spirit tells paul to write
- 00:05:13.406 --> 00:05:14.440
- Tells paul to write about due season,
- 00:05:14.507 --> 00:05:15.742
- About due season, what he's saying to the reader
- 00:05:15.808 --> 00:05:17.076
- What he's saying to the reader is, "there is a season in your
- 00:05:17.143 --> 00:05:18.644
- Is, "there is a season in your life when what you have sown,
- 00:05:18.711 --> 00:05:20.847

- 00:06:02.522 --> 00:06:03.389
- That god gave him the dream to build,
- 00:06:03.456 --> 00:06:04.424
- The dream to build, did you see anything that
- 00:06:04.490 --> 00:06:05.958

- Because if you're going to do it for god,
- 00:06:10.897 --> 00:06:11.697
- To do it for god, do it with all you've got
- 00:06:11.764 --> 00:06:13.366

- Look at the verse. "do not grow weary."
- 00:06:27.713 --> 00:06:30.817
- "do not grow weary." now, the thing about growing
- 00:06:30.883 --> 00:06:31.751
- Now, the thing about growing weary is that when you read
- 00:06:31.818 --> 00:06:33.853
- Weary is that when you read the full part of the verse,
- 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.154
- The full part of the verse, it says that whatever effort
- 00:06:35.221 --> 00:06:36.923
- It says that whatever effort you start with,
- 00:06:36.989 --> 00:06:37.857

- 00:06:37.924 --> 00:06:40.359
- You finish with. do not grow weary,
- 00:06:40.426 --> 00:06:41.461
- Do not grow weary, do not lose heart.
- 00:06:41.527 --> 00:06:42.895
- Do not lose heart. in the original language,
- 00:06:42.962 --> 00:06:43.796
- In the original language, it says do not faint.
- 00:06:43.863 --> 00:06:46.365
- It says do not faint. and what it means to faint
- 00:06:46.432 --> 00:06:47.700
- And what it means to faint is that you throttle back,
- 00:06:47.767 --> 00:06:49.502
- Is that you throttle back, you coast, you cruise.
- 00:06:49.569 --> 00:06:53.272
- You coast, you cruise. that's a lot easier
- 00:06:53.339 --> 00:06:54.040
- That's a lot easier said than done.
- 00:06:54.106 --> 00:06:55.908

- Anything that is worth having is worth persevering for.
- 00:07:01.013 --> 00:07:04.183
- Having is worth persevering for. if there's something that is
- 00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:05.318
- If there's something that is missing in our culture today,
- 00:07:05.384 --> 00:07:07.620
- Missing in our culture today, it's the willingness
- 00:07:07.687 --> 00:07:08.488
- It's the willingness to persevere.
- 00:07:08.554 --> 00:07:10.156

- With broken down walls." that's a statement
- 00:13:07.112 --> 00:13:07.646
- That's a statement of discipline,
- 00:13:07.713 --> 00:13:09.181
- Of discipline, because in the time
- 00:13:09.248 --> 00:13:09.882
- Because in the time of the bible,
- 00:13:09.949 --> 00:13:10.482
- Of the bible, the way that you controlled
- 00:13:10.549 --> 00:13:11.917

- 00:13:35.507 --> 00:13:37.076
- Healthy barriers that give you the ability to protect yourself.
- 00:13:37.142 --> 00:13:40.012

- In the world around you, but if you don't have a barrier,
- 00:13:43.282 --> 00:13:44.516

- To a level of success, but it will get you to the top,
- 00:14:35.367 --> 00:14:36.702

- Now to the word discipline, we need to add the word duty.
- 00:14:44.109 --> 00:14:47.346
- We need to add the word duty. and duty means that you
- 00:14:47.413 --> 00:14:48.514
- And duty means that you don't do what you want to do,
- 00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:51.050
- Don't do what you want to do, it means you do what
- 00:14:51.116 --> 00:14:52.017
- It means you do what you ought to do.
- 00:14:52.084 --> 00:14:54.653
- You ought to do. if you don't have discipline,
- 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:55.721
- If you don't have discipline, forget doing your duty,
- 00:14:55.788 --> 00:14:58.958
- Forget doing your duty, because you're not
- 00:14:59.024 --> 00:14:59.758
- Because you're not willing to sacrifice.
- 00:14:59.825 --> 00:15:01.894
- Willing to sacrifice. when we hear the word duty,
- 00:15:01.961 --> 00:15:03.228

- 00:15:15.908 --> 00:15:17.476

- Something that is remarkable, most of the time,
- 00:15:25.584 --> 00:15:26.452
- Most of the time, the individuals
- 00:15:26.518 --> 00:15:27.252
- The individuals who receive the medal will say
- 00:15:27.319 --> 00:15:28.420
- Who receive the medal will say something humble like,
- 00:15:28.487 --> 00:15:30.022
- Something humble like, "i was just doing my duty."
- 00:15:30.089 --> 00:15:35.294
- "i was just doing my duty." because from
- 00:15:35.361 --> 00:15:35.894
- Because from their perspective,
- 00:15:35.961 --> 00:15:36.628
- Their perspective, it's what they ought to do.
- 00:15:36.695 --> 00:15:39.264
- It's what they ought to do. duty is what gives you
- 00:15:39.331 --> 00:15:40.432
- Duty is what gives you the strength
- 00:15:40.499 --> 00:15:41.100
- The strength to make a sacrifice.
- 00:15:41.166 --> 00:15:43.202
- To make a sacrifice. it's the price that must
- 00:15:43.268 --> 00:15:44.336
- It's the price that must be paid to succeed.
- 00:15:44.403 --> 00:15:46.839
- Be paid to succeed. if you think that you can
- 00:15:46.905 --> 00:15:47.773
- If you think that you can do duty without discipline,
- 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.808
- Do duty without discipline, good luck.
- 00:15:49.875 --> 00:15:51.276
- Good luck. no spiritual discipline?
- 00:15:51.343 --> 00:15:52.711
- No spiritual discipline? you have a dysfunctional church.
- 00:15:52.778 --> 00:15:54.013
- You have a dysfunctional church. no spiritual --
- 00:15:54.079 --> 00:15:54.747
- No spiritual -- no personal discipline?
- 00:15:54.813 --> 00:15:55.848
- No personal discipline? you have a dysfunctional life.
- 00:15:55.914 --> 00:15:57.716
- You have a dysfunctional life. no financial discipline?
- 00:15:57.783 --> 00:15:58.884
- No financial discipline? you have
- 00:15:58.951 --> 00:15:59.451
- You have dysfunctional resources.
- 00:15:59.518 --> 00:16:01.453
- Dysfunctional resources. every one of us have a duty.
- 00:16:01.520 --> 00:16:03.956
- Every one of us have a duty. we have a charge to keep.
- 00:16:04.023 --> 00:16:05.290
- We have a charge to keep. we are spiritually submitted
- 00:16:05.357 --> 00:16:06.925
- We are spiritually submitted to the word of god
- 00:16:06.992 --> 00:16:07.993
- To the word of god and to the authority
- 00:16:08.060 --> 00:16:08.827
- And to the authority of the holy spirit.
- 00:16:08.894 --> 00:16:09.762
- Of the holy spirit. and since we are submitted
- 00:16:09.828 --> 00:16:10.796
- And since we are submitted to his authority,
- 00:16:10.863 --> 00:16:11.697
- To his authority, we don't get to do
- 00:16:11.764 --> 00:16:12.664
- We don't get to do what we want to do,
- 00:16:12.731 --> 00:16:13.732
- What we want to do, we have to do what
- 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:14.833
- We have to do what we ought to do.
- 00:16:14.900 --> 00:16:17.603
- We ought to do. for every role that you play
- 00:16:17.669 --> 00:16:19.738
- For every role that you play in your life,
- 00:16:19.805 --> 00:16:21.040
- In your life, there's a duty.
- 00:16:21.106 --> 00:16:22.541
- There's a duty. i'm a husband, i'm a father.
- 00:16:22.608 --> 00:16:24.376
- I'm a husband, i'm a father. the bible gives me very clear
- 00:16:24.443 --> 00:16:25.844
- The bible gives me very clear instructions about what
- 00:16:25.911 --> 00:16:27.012
- Instructions about what my responsibilities are.
- 00:16:27.079 --> 00:16:28.680
- My responsibilities are. as a father,
- 00:16:28.747 --> 00:16:29.715
- As a father, i have a duty to provide,
- 00:16:29.782 --> 00:16:31.116
- I have a duty to provide, to protect,
- 00:16:31.183 --> 00:16:31.950
- To protect, and to lead my family
- 00:16:32.017 --> 00:16:33.152
- And to lead my family in the way of the lord.
- 00:16:33.218 --> 00:16:34.253
- In the way of the lord. if i'm going to achieve
- 00:16:34.319 --> 00:16:35.354
- If i'm going to achieve my responsibility,
- 00:16:35.421 --> 00:16:36.789
- My responsibility, i have to have the discipline
- 00:16:36.855 --> 00:16:38.323

- As a son, i have a duty. it's written in the book
- 00:16:42.928 --> 00:16:43.529
- It's written in the book of ephesians.
- 00:16:43.595 --> 00:16:44.163
- Of ephesians. it says,
- 00:16:44.229 --> 00:16:44.696
- It says, "honor your father and mother,
- 00:16:44.763 --> 00:16:45.798
- "honor your father and mother, that it may be well with you."
- 00:16:45.864 --> 00:16:48.233
- That it may be well with you." i'm 47, i am not out
- 00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:50.869
- I'm 47, i am not out from under the duty
- 00:16:50.936 --> 00:16:52.137
- From under the duty of honoring my parents.
- 00:16:52.204 --> 00:16:54.073
- [applause]
- 00:16:54.873 --> 00:17:00.779
- Why do i say that?
- 00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:01.947
- Why do i say that? because sometimes people think,
- 00:17:02.014 --> 00:17:03.449
- Because sometimes people think, "well i'm an adult now."
- 00:17:03.515 --> 00:17:06.018
- "well i'm an adult now." go read the verse.
- 00:17:06.085 --> 00:17:08.220
- Go read the verse. it doesn't say honor your mom
- 00:17:08.287 --> 00:17:09.755
- It doesn't say honor your mom and dad until you're 18.
- 00:17:09.822 --> 00:17:13.192
- And dad until you're 18. it actually says do it
- 00:17:13.258 --> 00:17:14.760
- It actually says do it as long as you live.
- 00:17:14.827 --> 00:17:16.962
- As long as you live. why?
- 00:17:17.029 --> 00:17:17.496
- Why? because they may not
- 00:17:17.563 --> 00:17:18.230
- Because they may not be around,
- 00:17:18.297 --> 00:17:18.964
- Be around, but you are a representation
- 00:17:19.031 --> 00:17:20.666
- But you are a representation of who they are even
- 00:17:20.732 --> 00:17:21.967
- Of who they are even when they're gone,
- 00:17:22.034 --> 00:17:22.968
- When they're gone, and the way you live
- 00:17:23.035 --> 00:17:23.836
- And the way you live is either an honor
- 00:17:23.902 --> 00:17:24.870
- Is either an honor or a dishonor to their name.
- 00:17:24.937 --> 00:17:26.472
- [applause]
- 00:17:26.872 --> 00:17:33.011
- One of the greatest problems
- 00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:34.446
- One of the greatest problems we face in this generation
- 00:17:34.513 --> 00:17:35.848
- We face in this generation is that there are too many
- 00:17:35.914 --> 00:17:36.715
- Is that there are too many people who are only willing
- 00:17:36.782 --> 00:17:38.650
- People who are only willing to do what they want to do,
- 00:17:38.717 --> 00:17:41.220
- To do what they want to do, but they're not willing
- 00:17:41.286 --> 00:17:42.020
- But they're not willing to do what they should do.
- 00:17:42.087 --> 00:17:44.556
- To do what they should do. forget perseverance,
- 00:17:44.623 --> 00:17:48.327
- Forget perseverance, they just won't even
- 00:17:48.393 --> 00:17:49.161
- They just won't even do their responsibility.
- 00:17:49.228 --> 00:17:52.464
- Do their responsibility. you need to know that you
- 00:17:52.531 --> 00:17:53.732
- You need to know that you will never truly enjoy life
- 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.767
- Will never truly enjoy life until you're responsible.
- 00:17:55.834 --> 00:17:58.504
- Until you're responsible. and the reason that
- 00:17:58.570 --> 00:17:59.271
- And the reason that that's the way you're created
- 00:17:59.338 --> 00:18:01.740
- That's the way you're created is because god designed you
- 00:18:01.807 --> 00:18:03.575
- Is because god designed you to be hardwired
- 00:18:03.642 --> 00:18:05.077
- To be hardwired to crave responsibility.
- 00:18:05.144 --> 00:18:09.448
- To crave responsibility. look at genesis 2:15,
- 00:18:09.515 --> 00:18:11.517
- Look at genesis 2:15, it says,
- 00:18:11.583 --> 00:18:11.950
- It says, "and god took man and he placed
- 00:18:12.017 --> 00:18:13.385
- "and god took man and he placed him in the garden and told him,
- 00:18:13.452 --> 00:18:16.688
- Him in the garden and told him, 'tend it and keep it.'"
- 00:18:16.755 --> 00:18:20.025
- 'tend it and keep it.'" he didn't say,
- 00:18:20.092 --> 00:18:20.626
- He didn't say, "welcome to heaven's vrbo,
- 00:18:20.692 --> 00:18:23.529
- "welcome to heaven's vrbo, check out by 11."
- 00:18:23.595 --> 00:18:26.331
- Check out by 11." he said,
- 00:18:26.398 --> 00:18:26.899
- He said, "i created all of this for you,
- 00:18:26.965 --> 00:18:30.302
- "i created all of this for you, your job is take care of it."
- 00:18:30.369 --> 00:18:34.039
- Your job is take care of it." but each and every one of us
- 00:18:34.106 --> 00:18:34.873
- But each and every one of us are hardwired
- 00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:35.674
- Are hardwired and designed for purpose,
- 00:18:35.741 --> 00:18:38.010
- And designed for purpose, and until you are willing
- 00:18:38.076 --> 00:18:39.044
- And until you are willing to fulfill that purpose,
- 00:18:39.111 --> 00:18:40.145
- To fulfill that purpose, you have a void in your
- 00:18:40.212 --> 00:18:41.413
- You have a void in your life that cannot be filled.
- 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.416
- Life that cannot be filled. if you wanna see a picture
- 00:18:44.483 --> 00:18:45.817
- If you wanna see a picture of someone who was willing
- 00:18:45.884 --> 00:18:47.119
- Of someone who was willing to do their duty,
- 00:18:47.186 --> 00:18:47.753
- To do their duty, i encourage you to read
- 00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:48.921
- I encourage you to read the story of the prophet samuel
- 00:18:48.987 --> 00:18:51.023
- The story of the prophet samuel in the old testament.
- 00:18:51.089 --> 00:18:52.858
- In the old testament. in 1 samuel 8,
- 00:18:52.925 --> 00:18:55.727
- In 1 samuel 8, samuel is not just the prophet,
- 00:18:55.794 --> 00:18:57.262
- Samuel is not just the prophet, but he's also the high priest.
- 00:18:57.329 --> 00:18:59.097
- But he's also the high priest. this is no small responsibility
- 00:18:59.164 --> 00:19:00.832
- This is no small responsibility because as a prophet,
- 00:19:00.899 --> 00:19:02.301
- Because as a prophet, he is to bring the word
- 00:19:02.367 --> 00:19:03.502
- He is to bring the word of the lord to the people,
- 00:19:03.569 --> 00:19:05.571
- Of the lord to the people, and as the high priest,
- 00:19:05.637 --> 00:19:06.972
- And as the high priest, it's his responsibility
- 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.373
- It's his responsibility to bring the needs
- 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.441
- To bring the needs of the people to god.
- 00:19:09.508 --> 00:19:11.810
- Of the people to god. samuel has a big job to do.
- 00:19:11.877 --> 00:19:14.846
- Samuel has a big job to do. but in 1 samuel chapter 8:7,
- 00:19:14.913 --> 00:19:17.249
- But in 1 samuel chapter 8:7, samuel gets fired.
- 00:19:17.316 --> 00:19:20.118
- Samuel gets fired. israel comes to samuel
- 00:19:20.185 --> 00:19:21.453
- Israel comes to samuel and they say,
- 00:19:21.520 --> 00:19:21.987
- And they say, "look, we're tired of not
- 00:19:22.054 --> 00:19:23.322
- "look, we're tired of not being able to see our king.
- 00:19:23.388 --> 00:19:25.657
- Being able to see our king. we're tired of this whole
- 00:19:25.724 --> 00:19:26.858
- We're tired of this whole jehovah thing
- 00:19:26.925 --> 00:19:28.160
- Jehovah thing and the prophet thing.
- 00:19:28.227 --> 00:19:29.494
- And the prophet thing. we want a king that
- 00:19:29.561 --> 00:19:30.462
- We want a king that we can touch,
- 00:19:30.529 --> 00:19:31.196
- We can touch, that we can see,
- 00:19:31.263 --> 00:19:31.797
- That we can see, that we can feel,
- 00:19:31.863 --> 00:19:32.564
- That we can feel, that we can build him
- 00:19:32.631 --> 00:19:33.265
- That we can build him a palace and put him
- 00:19:33.332 --> 00:19:34.299
- A palace and put him on a throne.
- 00:19:34.366 --> 00:19:36.235
- On a throne. so go find us
- 00:19:36.301 --> 00:19:37.269
- So go find us one who can rule over us.
- 00:19:37.336 --> 00:19:39.404
- One who can rule over us. forget everything god did,
- 00:19:39.471 --> 00:19:40.973
- Forget everything god did, forget the red sea,
- 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.040
- Forget the red sea, and the manna, and the walls
- 00:19:42.107 --> 00:19:43.342
- And the manna, and the walls of jericho and all of those
- 00:19:43.408 --> 00:19:44.610
- Of jericho and all of those miracles in the past,
- 00:19:44.676 --> 00:19:46.078
- Miracles in the past, we're tired of that.
- 00:19:46.144 --> 00:19:47.045
- We're tired of that. we want something like
- 00:19:47.112 --> 00:19:48.013
- We want something like everybody else has."
- 00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:50.949
- Everybody else has." so god and samuel
- 00:19:51.016 --> 00:19:52.351
- So god and samuel have a conversation
- 00:19:52.417 --> 00:19:53.518
- Have a conversation and god tells samuel,
- 00:19:53.585 --> 00:19:55.087
- And god tells samuel, "heed the voice of your people."
- 00:19:55.153 --> 00:19:58.790
- "heed the voice of your people." he says,
- 00:19:58.857 --> 00:19:59.358
- He says, "they haven't rejected you,
- 00:19:59.424 --> 00:20:01.293
- "they haven't rejected you, they've rejected me."
- 00:20:01.360 --> 00:20:04.663
- They've rejected me." now, if i were samuel,
- 00:20:04.730 --> 00:20:05.764
- Now, if i were samuel, i would have gone to the people
- 00:20:05.831 --> 00:20:06.898
- I would have gone to the people and i would have
- 00:20:06.965 --> 00:20:07.432
- And i would have given them a forecast.
- 00:20:07.499 --> 00:20:10.035
- Given them a forecast. i would have said,
- 00:20:10.102 --> 00:20:10.602
- I would have said, "the weather report is fire
- 00:20:10.669 --> 00:20:11.903
- "the weather report is fire and brimstone mixed
- 00:20:11.970 --> 00:20:14.006
- And brimstone mixed with a moderate shaking
- 00:20:14.072 --> 00:20:15.040
- With a moderate shaking of earthquakes
- 00:20:15.107 --> 00:20:16.808
- Of earthquakes and whatever else the almighty
- 00:20:16.875 --> 00:20:18.243
- And whatever else the almighty chooses to do.
- 00:20:18.310 --> 00:20:19.544
- Chooses to do. peace out."
- 00:20:19.611 --> 00:20:22.814
- Peace out." but that's why god didn't
- 00:20:22.881 --> 00:20:23.815
- But that's why god didn't put me in that book.
- 00:20:23.882 --> 00:20:27.919
- Put me in that book. here's what samuel does.
- 00:20:27.986 --> 00:20:30.489
- Here's what samuel does. he's giving his farewell
- 00:20:30.555 --> 00:20:31.456
- He's giving his farewell address to the children
- 00:20:31.523 --> 00:20:32.291
- Address to the children of israel and he says,
- 00:20:32.357 --> 00:20:33.158
- Of israel and he says, "you've asked for a king,
- 00:20:33.225 --> 00:20:34.293
- "you've asked for a king, you're gonna have a king."
- 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:36.595
- You're gonna have a king." but in verse 23
- 00:20:36.662 --> 00:20:37.729
- But in verse 23 he paints a memorial
- 00:20:37.796 --> 00:20:39.665
- He paints a memorial to what duty does.
- 00:20:39.731 --> 00:20:41.667
- To what duty does. he says, "but as for me,"

- 00:21:01.820 --> 00:21:06.058
- In ceasing to pray for you." samuel says,
- 00:21:06.124 --> 00:21:06.625
- Samuel says, "you're done with me,

- "you're done with me, but i'm not done fulfilling
- 00:21:08.093 --> 00:21:09.961

- Me a prophet. god did.
- 00:21:15.667 --> 00:21:17.235
- God did. and as long as god
- 00:21:17.302 --> 00:21:18.270
- And as long as god has breath in my lungs,
- 00:21:18.337 --> 00:21:19.538
- Has breath in my lungs, i'm going to do what

- God did. so as long as i'm able to,
- 00:21:28.847 --> 00:21:30.449
- So as long as i'm able to, i'm going to do what he called
- 00:21:30.515 --> 00:21:32.184
- I'm going to do what he called and created me to do.
- 00:21:32.250 --> 00:21:33.385
- And created me to do. i'm going to continue to pray

- Even if you don't want me interceding.
- 00:21:41.593 --> 00:21:43.595
- Want me interceding. because you didn't give me
- 00:21:43.662 --> 00:21:44.730
- Because you didn't give me this responsibility,
- 00:21:44.796 --> 00:21:45.997
- This responsibility, god did."
- 00:21:46.064 --> 00:21:48.033
- God did." can you serve like that?
- 00:21:48.100 --> 00:21:50.068
- Can you serve like that? can you do your duty when
- 00:21:50.135 --> 00:21:51.403
- Can you do your duty when other people reject it?
- 00:21:51.470 --> 00:21:53.205
- Other people reject it? can you be kind to those
- 00:21:53.271 --> 00:21:54.873
- Can you be kind to those who turn their back
- 00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:55.774
- Who turn their back on your kindness?
- 00:21:55.841 --> 00:21:57.209
- On your kindness? can you give to those who refuse
- 00:21:57.275 --> 00:21:59.411
- Can you give to those who refuse to accept your generosity?
- 00:21:59.478 --> 00:22:01.680
- To accept your generosity? can you be joyful with those
- 00:22:01.747 --> 00:22:03.515
- Can you be joyful with those who respond to you
- 00:22:03.582 --> 00:22:04.916
- Who respond to you in bitterness?
- 00:22:04.983 --> 00:22:06.852
- In bitterness? 1 corinthians 10 tells us,
- 00:22:06.918 --> 00:22:09.154
- 1 corinthians 10 tells us, "whatever you do,
- 00:22:09.221 --> 00:22:09.921
- "whatever you do, do it all for
- 00:22:09.988 --> 00:22:11.022
- Do it all for the glory of god."
- 00:22:11.089 --> 00:22:13.258
- The glory of god." why?
- 00:22:13.325 --> 00:22:14.526
- Why? because the people that god
- 00:22:14.593 --> 00:22:15.594
- Because the people that god sends you to serve may not
- 00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:16.828
- Sends you to serve may not accept what you're sowing,
- 00:22:16.895 --> 00:22:18.764
- Accept what you're sowing, but god is watching
- 00:22:18.830 --> 00:22:19.865
- But god is watching what you sow,
- 00:22:19.931 --> 00:22:20.766
- What you sow, and he's the one who says
- 00:22:20.832 --> 00:22:22.000
- And he's the one who says you have a due season.
- 00:22:22.067 --> 00:22:25.103
- You have a due season. they don't determine when
- 00:22:25.170 --> 00:22:26.405
- They don't determine when your season comes, god does.
- 00:22:26.471 --> 00:22:29.141
- Your season comes, god does. and when god sees you do your
- 00:22:29.207 --> 00:22:30.609
- And when god sees you do your responsibility and do it
- 00:22:30.675 --> 00:22:32.210
- Responsibility and do it with excellence for his glory,
- 00:22:32.277 --> 00:22:33.812
- With excellence for his glory, he says,
- 00:22:33.879 --> 00:22:34.479
- He says, "due season is on its way."
- 00:22:34.546 --> 00:22:37.916
- "due season is on its way." the third element
- 00:22:37.983 --> 00:22:39.017
- The third element of perseverance is devotion.
- 00:22:39.084 --> 00:22:44.389
- Of perseverance is devotion. you cannot do your duty unless
- 00:22:44.456 --> 00:22:47.659

- You cannot be disciplined unless you are devoted.
- 00:22:52.697 --> 00:22:54.933
- Unless you are devoted. and devotion is where
- 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.301
- And devotion is where the passion of your
- 00:22:56.368 --> 00:22:57.436
- The passion of your purpose comes from.
- 00:22:57.502 --> 00:22:59.905
- Purpose comes from. if you're not devoted to it,
- 00:22:59.971 --> 00:23:02.541
- If you're not devoted to it, you won't consistently
- 00:23:02.607 --> 00:23:03.708
- You won't consistently keep at it.
- 00:23:03.775 --> 00:23:06.311

- What it takes. perseverance.
- 00:23:14.486 --> 00:23:16.288
- Perseverance. and perseverance means

- And perseverance means that you have discipline,
- 00:23:17.422 --> 00:23:19.825
- That you have discipline, duty, and devotion.
- 00:23:19.891 --> 00:23:23.628
