  • Pastor matt hagee: again, we read the verse
  • 00:00:17.043 --> 00:00:17.777
  • We read the verse in 1 peter 5,
  • 00:00:17.844 --> 00:00:19.212
  • In 1 peter 5, and just add one
  • 00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:20.146
  • And just add one more note to it.
  • 00:00:20.213 --> 00:00:22.082
  • More note to it. "humble yourself under
  • 00:00:22.148 --> 00:00:23.249
  • "humble yourself under the mighty hand of god,
  • 00:00:23.316 --> 00:00:25.718
  • The mighty hand of god, that he may exalt
  • 00:00:25.785 --> 00:00:27.253

  • 00:00:29.556 --> 00:00:30.323
  • How many of you are looking forward to that due time
  • 00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.025
  • Forward to that due time when god exalts you?
  • 00:00:32.092 --> 00:00:34.427
  • When god exalts you? it only gets possible
  • 00:00:34.494 --> 00:00:35.929
  • It only gets possible in your life if you
  • 00:00:35.995 --> 00:00:36.963
  • In your life if you come from the right position,
  • 00:00:37.030 --> 00:00:38.531
  • Come from the right position, and the right position
  • 00:00:38.598 --> 00:00:39.532
  • And the right position is one of humility.
  • 00:00:39.599 --> 00:00:42.102
  • Is one of humility. now, the thing that you need
  • 00:00:42.168 --> 00:00:43.002
  • Now, the thing that you need to understand about humility
  • 00:00:43.069 --> 00:00:44.637
  • To understand about humility is it's a lot harder
  • 00:00:44.704 --> 00:00:45.872
  • Is it's a lot harder than it sounds.
  • 00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:46.639
  • Than it sounds. it's easy to say and hard to do.
  • 00:00:46.706 --> 00:00:48.541
  • But then there are other
  • 00:00:49.776 --> 00:00:51.010
  • But then there are other times that we feel
  • 00:00:51.077 --> 00:00:53.113
  • Times that we feel that we're doing our
  • 00:00:53.179 --> 00:00:54.047
  • That we're doing our responsibility in not being
  • 00:00:54.114 --> 00:00:55.982
  • Responsibility in not being a problem or not creating a stir
  • 00:00:56.049 --> 00:00:58.151
  • A problem or not creating a stir by proving to others
  • 00:00:58.218 --> 00:01:01.254
  • By proving to others and to ourselves how much
  • 00:01:01.321 --> 00:01:03.189
  • And to ourselves how much struggle we can endure.
  • 00:01:03.256 --> 00:01:06.359
  • Struggle we can endure. and while we believe
  • 00:01:06.426 --> 00:01:08.661
  • And while we believe we're being humble,
  • 00:01:08.728 --> 00:01:10.697
  • We're being humble, the truth is,
  • 00:01:10.763 --> 00:01:11.431
  • The truth is, in our pride,
  • 00:01:11.498 --> 00:01:12.966
  • In our pride, in our own strength,
  • 00:01:13.032 --> 00:01:15.335
  • In our own strength, we're trying to show others,
  • 00:01:15.401 --> 00:01:17.003
  • We're trying to show others, "i can take it."
  • 00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:17.337
  • Peter says,
  • 00:01:18.571 --> 00:01:19.472
  • Peter says, "humble yourself under
  • 00:01:19.539 --> 00:01:20.807
  • "humble yourself under the mighty hand of god,"
  • 00:01:20.874 --> 00:01:22.275
  • The mighty hand of god," and as long as you are trying
  • 00:01:22.342 --> 00:01:24.043
  • And as long as you are trying to prove to the world
  • 00:01:24.110 --> 00:01:25.245
  • To prove to the world that you can take it,
  • 00:01:25.311 --> 00:01:26.479
  • That you can take it, you're not humbling yourself.
  • 00:01:26.546 --> 00:01:28.148
  • You're not humbling yourself. you're carrying what christ
  • 00:01:28.214 --> 00:01:29.782
  • You're carrying what christ never intended for you
  • 00:01:29.849 --> 00:01:30.750
  • Never intended for you to be burdened with.
  • 00:01:30.817 --> 00:01:32.852
  • To be burdened with. and the reason that
  • 00:01:32.919 --> 00:01:33.553
  • And the reason that you're carrying it,
  • 00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:34.621
  • You're carrying it, whether you like
  • 00:01:34.687 --> 00:01:35.455
  • Whether you like hearing it or not,
  • 00:01:35.522 --> 00:01:36.122
  • Hearing it or not, is because you are priding
  • 00:01:36.189 --> 00:01:37.557
  • Is because you are priding yourself in what you
  • 00:01:37.624 --> 00:01:38.825
  • Yourself in what you can endure instead of what
  • 00:01:38.892 --> 00:01:40.760
  • Can endure instead of what you can trust him with.
  • 00:01:40.827 --> 00:01:44.464
  • You can trust him with. it may look humble,
  • 00:01:44.531 --> 00:01:47.100
  • It may look humble, but because "i can take it,"
  • 00:01:47.167 --> 00:01:49.869
  • But because "i can take it," you're struggling in a place
  • 00:01:49.936 --> 00:01:51.704
  • You're struggling in a place where you should be succeeding.
  • 00:01:51.771 --> 00:01:52.672
  • I would love to be able
  • 00:01:54.507 --> 00:01:55.909

  • To tell you why life gets hard,
  • 00:01:56.843 --> 00:01:58.878
  • Life gets hard, and that would
  • 00:01:58.945 --> 00:01:59.546
  • And that would be a vain attempt,
  • 00:01:59.612 --> 00:02:01.214
  • Be a vain attempt, but i am here to tell you
  • 00:02:01.281 --> 00:02:02.448
  • But i am here to tell you what you do when it does.
  • 00:02:02.515 --> 00:02:05.051
  • What you do when it does. when life gets hard,
  • 00:02:05.118 --> 00:02:06.319
  • When life gets hard, you humble yourself
  • 00:02:06.386 --> 00:02:07.887
  • You humble yourself and you cast all of your
  • 00:02:07.954 --> 00:02:10.356

  • Cares upon him because he cares for you.
  • 00:02:12.926 --> 00:02:16.062
  • He cares for you. when you do that,
  • 00:02:16.129 --> 00:02:17.297
  • When you do that, you don't get to escape trouble,
  • 00:02:17.363 --> 00:02:19.766
  • You don't get to escape trouble, but you get to succeed
  • 00:02:19.832 --> 00:02:21.201

  • Through struggle. when you do that,
  • 00:02:23.203 --> 00:02:24.237
  • When you do that, the bible has a forecast
  • 00:02:24.304 --> 00:02:25.805

  • And with a god like that, there's nothing to worry about.
  • 00:03:17.657 --> 00:03:19.092
  • [applause]
  • 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.962
  • Humble yourself.
  • 00:03:24.764 --> 00:03:27.634
  • Humble yourself. get back to the truth
  • 00:03:27.700 --> 00:03:28.735
  • Get back to the truth of god's word,
  • 00:03:28.801 --> 00:03:29.602
  • Of god's word, do it his way,
  • 00:03:29.669 --> 00:03:31.871
  • Do it his way, and suddenly you'll begin to see
  • 00:03:31.938 --> 00:03:33.172
  • And suddenly you'll begin to see success like you've never known.
  • 00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:35.608
  • Success like you've never known. when you humble yourself,
  • 00:03:35.675 --> 00:03:36.876
  • When you humble yourself, the bible says
  • 00:03:36.943 --> 00:03:37.644
  • The bible says god will exalt you.
  • 00:03:37.710 --> 00:03:41.414
  • God will exalt you. and the reason why
  • 00:03:41.481 --> 00:03:42.115
  • And the reason why this is important is
  • 00:03:42.181 --> 00:03:43.216
  • This is important is because most people
  • 00:03:43.283 --> 00:03:44.017
  • Because most people are looking to be exalted,
  • 00:03:44.083 --> 00:03:45.418
  • Are looking to be exalted, but they disqualify themselves
  • 00:03:45.485 --> 00:03:47.120
  • But they disqualify themselves because they want to show
  • 00:03:47.186 --> 00:03:48.421
  • Because they want to show everybody how much
  • 00:03:48.488 --> 00:03:49.122
  • Everybody how much they can take.
  • 00:03:49.188 --> 00:03:51.291
  • They can take. 1 peter 5:7,
  • 00:03:51.357 --> 00:03:53.326
  • 1 peter 5:7, is what i call
  • 00:03:53.393 --> 00:03:54.227
  • Is what i call a bridge verse.
  • 00:03:54.294 --> 00:03:56.796
  • A bridge verse. it's a bridge between
  • 00:03:56.863 --> 00:03:58.231
  • It's a bridge between the position of humility
  • 00:03:58.298 --> 00:03:59.565
  • The position of humility and the purpose of humility.
  • 00:03:59.632 --> 00:04:03.536
  • And the purpose of humility. in verse 6,
  • 00:04:03.603 --> 00:04:04.404
  • In verse 6, "humble yourself under
  • 00:04:04.470 --> 00:04:05.738
  • "humble yourself under the mighty hand of god,
  • 00:04:05.805 --> 00:04:06.873
  • The mighty hand of god, that he might exalt you
  • 00:04:06.939 --> 00:04:08.074
  • That he might exalt you in due time."
  • 00:04:08.141 --> 00:04:09.208
  • In due time." if you're looking
  • 00:04:09.275 --> 00:04:09.776
  • If you're looking for the exalted due time,
  • 00:04:09.842 --> 00:04:11.277
  • For the exalted due time, say, "amen."
  • 00:04:11.344 --> 00:04:13.346
  • Say, "amen." why?
  • 00:04:13.413 --> 00:04:14.013
  • Why? "casting all your care upon him,
  • 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.017
  • "casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you."
  • 00:04:18.084 --> 00:04:19.852
  • Now, why is it important
  • 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.855
  • Now, why is it important that you do this?
  • 00:04:22.922 --> 00:04:23.790
  • That you do this? it's a bridge between verse
  • 00:04:23.856 --> 00:04:25.358
  • It's a bridge between verse 6 and verse 8.
  • 00:04:25.425 --> 00:04:27.994
  • 6 and verse 8. verse 8 says the reason
  • 00:04:28.061 --> 00:04:29.462
  • Verse 8 says the reason that you cast all
  • 00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:30.296
  • That you cast all of your care upon him is
  • 00:04:30.363 --> 00:04:31.898
  • Of your care upon him is because you need to, "be sober
  • 00:04:31.964 --> 00:04:33.833
  • Because you need to, "be sober and be vigilant because
  • 00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:35.702
  • And be vigilant because your adversary,
  • 00:04:35.768 --> 00:04:36.736
  • Your adversary, the devil,
  • 00:04:36.803 --> 00:04:37.403
  • The devil, walks about like a roaring lion
  • 00:04:37.470 --> 00:04:39.739
  • Walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour."
  • 00:04:39.806 --> 00:04:42.208
  • When you read
  • 00:04:44.477 --> 00:04:45.611
  • When you read "be sober and be vigilant,"
  • 00:04:45.678 --> 00:04:47.113
  • "be sober and be vigilant," this is not talking about
  • 00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:48.214
  • This is not talking about what you drink in consumption.
  • 00:04:48.281 --> 00:04:49.982
  • What you drink in consumption. this is talking
  • 00:04:50.049 --> 00:04:50.650
  • This is talking about a clear mind.
  • 00:04:50.717 --> 00:04:53.486
  • About a clear mind. and if you carry around fear,
  • 00:04:53.553 --> 00:04:54.921
  • And if you carry around fear, anxiety, and worry,
  • 00:04:54.987 --> 00:04:56.189
  • Anxiety, and worry, you won't have a clear mind.
  • 00:04:56.255 --> 00:04:58.958
  • You won't have a clear mind. you'll listen to every
  • 00:04:59.025 --> 00:04:59.892
  • You'll listen to every suspicious theory,
  • 00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:01.427
  • Suspicious theory, you'll listen
  • 00:05:01.494 --> 00:05:02.095
  • You'll listen to every random thing,
  • 00:05:02.161 --> 00:05:03.329

  • Make sure. sometimes when we wanna
  • 00:07:06.085 --> 00:07:08.688
  • Sometimes when we wanna do it in our own strength,
  • 00:07:08.754 --> 00:07:09.922
  • Do it in our own strength, the bible very clearly says
  • 00:07:09.989 --> 00:07:11.691
  • The bible very clearly says these words in proverbs.
  • 00:07:11.757 --> 00:07:12.859
  • These words in proverbs. "there is a way
  • 00:07:12.925 --> 00:07:13.526
  • "there is a way that seems right to man,
  • 00:07:13.593 --> 00:07:14.827
  • That seems right to man, but the end thereof
  • 00:07:14.894 --> 00:07:15.595
  • But the end thereof is destruction."
  • 00:07:15.661 --> 00:07:17.897
  • Is destruction." in other translations,
  • 00:07:17.964 --> 00:07:18.698
  • In other translations, it says death.
  • 00:07:18.764 --> 00:07:20.900
  • It says death. meaning that you can
  • 00:07:20.967 --> 00:07:21.601
  • Meaning that you can look at things through
  • 00:07:21.667 --> 00:07:22.635
  • Look at things through your natural lens and all you
  • 00:07:22.702 --> 00:07:24.904
  • Your natural lens and all you decide is that it's good,
  • 00:07:24.971 --> 00:07:26.539
  • Decide is that it's good, but sometimes good ain't god.
  • 00:07:26.606 --> 00:07:29.809
  • But sometimes good ain't god. so let's consider this
  • 00:07:29.876 --> 00:07:30.810
  • So let's consider this to be the path of life.
  • 00:07:30.877 --> 00:07:32.645
  • To be the path of life. and the path of life, i mean,
  • 00:07:32.712 --> 00:07:33.913
  • And the path of life, i mean, travis, you would admit it,
  • 00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:34.881
  • Travis, you would admit it, it looks pretty decent.
  • 00:07:34.947 --> 00:07:36.148
  • It looks pretty decent. i mean, it's, you know,
  • 00:07:36.215 --> 00:07:37.416
  • I mean, it's, you know, nice green pastures and,
  • 00:07:37.483 --> 00:07:38.684
  • Nice green pastures and, you know,
  • 00:07:38.751 --> 00:07:39.151
  • You know, we're the sheep of his pastures.
  • 00:07:39.218 --> 00:07:40.486
  • We're the sheep of his pastures. and since i can take a little
  • 00:07:40.553 --> 00:07:41.654
  • And since i can take a little bit of scripture and justify
  • 00:07:41.721 --> 00:07:42.755
  • Bit of scripture and justify anything as, you know,
  • 00:07:42.822 --> 00:07:44.891
  • Anything as, you know, one of the sheep
  • 00:07:44.957 --> 00:07:45.658
  • One of the sheep in his pastures,
  • 00:07:45.725 --> 00:07:46.292
  • In his pastures, i'm gonna go walk over
  • 00:07:46.359 --> 00:07:47.159
  • I'm gonna go walk over to one of these piles of grass
  • 00:07:47.226 --> 00:07:48.160
  • To one of these piles of grass and i'm gonna enjoy it
  • 00:07:48.227 --> 00:07:49.529
  • And i'm gonna enjoy it because it is god's
  • 00:07:49.595 --> 00:07:50.830
  • Because it is god's provision in my life.
  • 00:07:50.897 --> 00:07:52.231
  • Provision in my life. this looks like a fabulous
  • 00:07:52.298 --> 00:07:54.667
  • This looks like a fabulous place to spend the day.
  • 00:07:54.734 --> 00:07:56.936
  • Place to spend the day. and the problem is,
  • 00:07:57.003 --> 00:08:00.306
  • And the problem is, when we get to where
  • 00:08:00.373 --> 00:08:01.140
  • When we get to where we thought we should be,
  • 00:08:01.207 --> 00:08:02.475
  • We thought we should be, we find out it's not
  • 00:08:02.542 --> 00:08:03.409
  • We find out it's not as green as it was.
  • 00:08:03.476 --> 00:08:08.948
  • As green as it was. and sometimes what looked
  • 00:08:09.015 --> 00:08:10.950
  • And sometimes what looked like a blessing
  • 00:08:11.017 --> 00:08:11.784
  • Like a blessing becomes a burden.
  • 00:08:11.851 --> 00:08:14.287
  • Becomes a burden. what looks like it would
  • 00:08:14.353 --> 00:08:15.121
  • What looks like it would work turns into a wreck.
  • 00:08:15.187 --> 00:08:17.957
  • Work turns into a wreck. what we thought was god
  • 00:08:18.024 --> 00:08:19.091
  • What we thought was god ain't even good,
  • 00:08:19.158 --> 00:08:22.028
  • Ain't even good, and we get stuck.
  • 00:08:22.094 --> 00:08:26.265
  • And we get stuck. we get stuck in
  • 00:08:26.332 --> 00:08:31.504
  • We get stuck in the devil's trap.
  • 00:08:31.571 --> 00:08:34.106
  • The devil's trap. now, that's when we do
  • 00:08:34.173 --> 00:08:34.874
  • Now, that's when we do it in our strength
  • 00:08:34.941 --> 00:08:35.908
  • It in our strength and with our vision,
  • 00:08:35.975 --> 00:08:37.310
  • And with our vision, because the bible says we walk
  • 00:08:37.376 --> 00:08:38.511
  • Because the bible says we walk by faith and not by sight.
  • 00:08:38.578 --> 00:08:40.880
  • By faith and not by sight. right?
  • 00:08:40.947 --> 00:08:42.815
  • Right? whenever you see how people
  • 00:08:42.882 --> 00:08:44.550
  • Whenever you see how people who are visually impaired
  • 00:08:44.617 --> 00:08:46.152
  • Who are visually impaired move through life,
  • 00:08:46.218 --> 00:08:48.287
  • Move through life, because of their
  • 00:08:48.354 --> 00:08:49.021
  • Because of their visual impairment,
  • 00:08:49.088 --> 00:08:50.022
  • Visual impairment, because of their blindness,
  • 00:08:50.089 --> 00:08:51.290
  • Because of their blindness, they don't walk with arrogance.
  • 00:08:51.357 --> 00:08:53.993
  • They don't walk with arrogance. they walk humbly.
  • 00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:56.529
  • They walk humbly. they reach out for somebody
  • 00:08:56.596 --> 00:08:57.830
  • They reach out for somebody who will lead them
  • 00:08:57.897 --> 00:08:58.598
  • Who will lead them and guide them through what
  • 00:08:58.664 --> 00:09:00.132
  • And guide them through what they can't see because
  • 00:09:00.199 --> 00:09:01.100
  • They can't see because they know,
  • 00:09:01.167 --> 00:09:01.701
  • They know, because of what they can't see,
  • 00:09:01.767 --> 00:09:03.069
  • Because of what they can't see, they're probably gonna get
  • 00:09:03.135 --> 00:09:04.203
  • They're probably gonna get hurt if they try it
  • 00:09:04.270 --> 00:09:05.071
  • Hurt if they try it on their own.
  • 00:09:05.137 --> 00:09:06.472
  • On their own. what you have to realize
  • 00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:07.707
  • What you have to realize as a child of god is that you
  • 00:09:07.773 --> 00:09:09.241
  • As a child of god is that you are spiritually blind compared
  • 00:09:09.308 --> 00:09:11.344
  • Are spiritually blind compared to what he can see.
  • 00:09:11.410 --> 00:09:13.312
  • To what he can see. and until you are willing
  • 00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:14.513
  • And until you are willing to let him lead you
  • 00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:16.248
  • To let him lead you and guide you,
  • 00:09:16.315 --> 00:09:17.350
  • And guide you, you're going to get hurt.
  • 00:09:17.416 --> 00:09:18.517
  • This is how we go through life.

  • Not because i'm going on my own,
  • 00:10:18.144 --> 00:10:19.078

  • But if travis humbles himself under the mighty hand of god,
  • 00:12:09.421 --> 00:12:12.691
  • Under the mighty hand of god, then god can take travis through
  • 00:12:12.758 --> 00:12:14.693
  • Then god can take travis through places where travis
  • 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:15.594
  • Places where travis can't go alone.
  • 00:12:15.661 --> 00:12:16.662
  • Can't go alone. and whenever they come

  • "you don't have to worry about that, travis.
  • 00:12:20.900 --> 00:12:21.534
  • About that, travis. i took care of that.
  • 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.768
  • I took care of that. you don't have
  • 00:12:22.835 --> 00:12:23.335
  • You don't have to deal with this weapon.
  • 00:12:23.402 --> 00:12:24.336
  • To deal with this weapon. it's not formed against you,

  • About how you're gonna get through life from one
  • 00:12:32.244 --> 00:12:33.012
  • Get through life from one side to the other because

  • Side to the other because you have a god who will lead

  • Thank you, travis. now, pardon me and my toys.
  • 00:12:56.268 --> 00:13:01.674
  • Now, pardon me and my toys. the problem is sometimes
  • 00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:05.578
  • The problem is sometimes people like travis,
  • 00:13:05.644 --> 00:13:08.747
  • People like travis, instead of letting god
  • 00:13:08.814 --> 00:13:09.582
  • Instead of letting god lead them and guide them,
  • 00:13:09.648 --> 00:13:12.751
  • Lead them and guide them, they have the
  • 00:13:12.818 --> 00:13:13.385
  • They have the "i can take it" attitude.
  • 00:13:13.452 --> 00:13:16.455
  • "i can take it" attitude. i mean, i can handle it,
  • 00:13:16.522 --> 00:13:18.190
  • I mean, i can handle it, i can bear it,
  • 00:13:18.257 --> 00:13:18.924
  • I can bear it, i don't need any help.
  • 00:13:18.991 --> 00:13:20.693
  • I don't need any help. i can handle bitterness.
  • 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.430
  • I can handle bitterness. i mean, i went through seasons
  • 00:13:24.496 --> 00:13:27.066
  • I mean, i went through seasons of rejection and shame
  • 00:13:27.132 --> 00:13:28.334
  • Of rejection and shame and failure and,
  • 00:13:28.400 --> 00:13:30.336
  • And failure and, you know, guilt,
  • 00:13:30.402 --> 00:13:32.738
  • You know, guilt, all these things.
  • 00:13:32.805 --> 00:13:35.441
  • All these things. and rather than allow god
  • 00:13:35.507 --> 00:13:38.344
  • And rather than allow god to carry this, travis,
  • 00:13:38.410 --> 00:13:40.846
  • To carry this, travis, in his own pride,
  • 00:13:40.913 --> 00:13:41.580
  • In his own pride, wants to prove he's got it.
  • 00:13:41.647 --> 00:13:46.685
  • Wants to prove he's got it. he goes to work this way,
  • 00:13:46.752 --> 00:13:50.155
  • He goes to work this way, he gets married this way,
  • 00:13:50.222 --> 00:13:53.158
  • He gets married this way, he goes to church this way.
  • 00:13:53.225 --> 00:13:54.260
  • He goes to church this way. as a matter of fact,
  • 00:13:54.326 --> 00:13:54.894
  • As a matter of fact, go back to church.
  • 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:55.561
  • Go back to church. go sit down there where you
  • 00:13:55.628 --> 00:13:56.262
  • Go sit down there where you belong and take that with you.
  • 00:13:56.328 --> 00:13:57.796
  • Belong and take that with you. go ahead.
  • 00:13:57.863 --> 00:14:01.333
  • Go ahead. now, i mean, travis is humble --
  • 00:14:01.400 --> 00:14:02.401
  • Now, i mean, travis is humble -- go ahead, travis,
  • 00:14:02.468 --> 00:14:03.235
  • Go ahead, travis, go back to church.
  • 00:14:03.302 --> 00:14:03.936
  • Go back to church. do what you're told.
  • 00:14:04.003 --> 00:14:04.336
  • [applause]
  • 00:14:04.470 --> 00:14:08.908
  • Travis is humble enough.
  • 00:14:12.912 --> 00:14:14.413
  • Travis is humble enough. i mean, he don't wanna
  • 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.114
  • I mean, he don't wanna bother nobody.
  • 00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:17.983
  • Bother nobody. but it's not really his
  • 00:14:18.050 --> 00:14:18.851
  • But it's not really his fault inasmuch as he's carrying
  • 00:14:18.918 --> 00:14:22.988
  • Fault inasmuch as he's carrying around what he shouldn't
  • 00:14:23.055 --> 00:14:24.056
  • Around what he shouldn't even be concerned with.
  • 00:14:24.123 --> 00:14:27.259
  • Even be concerned with. and whenever he gets into
  • 00:14:27.326 --> 00:14:28.093
  • And whenever he gets into the relationships of his life --
  • 00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:29.662
  • The relationships of his life -- go ahead and sit down
  • 00:14:29.728 --> 00:14:30.262
  • Go ahead and sit down next to your wife.
  • 00:14:30.329 --> 00:14:33.832
  • Next to your wife. i'm making some
  • 00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:34.833
  • I'm making some assumptions here,
  • 00:14:34.900 --> 00:14:35.534
  • Assumptions here, but, you know, she likes
  • 00:14:35.601 --> 00:14:36.368
  • But, you know, she likes you well enough that
  • 00:14:36.435 --> 00:14:37.369
  • You well enough that she picked up the armrest,
  • 00:14:37.436 --> 00:14:39.171
  • She picked up the armrest, so, that's at least
  • 00:14:39.238 --> 00:14:39.939
  • So, that's at least an indicator.
  • 00:14:40.005 --> 00:14:44.176
  • An indicator. then when he gets
  • 00:14:44.243 --> 00:14:45.244
  • Then when he gets in a relationship with her,
  • 00:14:45.311 --> 00:14:46.912
  • In a relationship with her, the only thing that
  • 00:14:46.979 --> 00:14:48.013
  • The only thing that he can share with her
  • 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:49.214
  • He can share with her is stuff that
  • 00:14:49.281 --> 00:14:50.182
  • Is stuff that she don't wanna carry.
  • 00:14:50.249 --> 00:14:52.418
  • She don't wanna carry. so go ahead and give
  • 00:14:52.484 --> 00:14:53.152
  • So go ahead and give her some of that shame.
  • 00:14:53.218 --> 00:14:54.019
  • Her some of that shame. just wrap that net around her.
  • 00:14:54.086 --> 00:14:56.822
  • Just wrap that net around her. yeah, it's right there
  • 00:14:56.889 --> 00:14:58.090
  • Yeah, it's right there on your left.
  • 00:14:58.157 --> 00:14:58.824
  • On your left. yeah, there you go.
  • 00:14:58.891 --> 00:14:59.692
  • Yeah, there you go. go ahead.
  • 00:14:59.758 --> 00:15:00.859
  • Go ahead. so, now she's got shame
  • 00:15:00.926 --> 00:15:03.262
  • So, now she's got shame and he's got rejection
  • 00:15:03.329 --> 00:15:04.330
  • And he's got rejection and failure.
  • 00:15:04.396 --> 00:15:05.931
  • And failure. and they come to the church
  • 00:15:05.998 --> 00:15:06.932
  • And they come to the church and spend a little
  • 00:15:06.999 --> 00:15:07.900

  • They got people like travis there."
  • 00:15:45.938 --> 00:15:51.477
  • Like travis there." and do you see not
  • 00:15:51.543 --> 00:15:52.177
  • And do you see not only how encumbered
  • 00:15:52.244 --> 00:15:53.245
  • Only how encumbered he is in his life,
  • 00:15:53.312 --> 00:15:54.646
  • He is in his life, but how much of a burden
  • 00:15:54.713 --> 00:15:55.581
  • But how much of a burden he shares with everybody
  • 00:15:55.647 --> 00:15:56.682
  • He shares with everybody else because he's carrying
  • 00:15:56.749 --> 00:15:57.950
  • Else because he's carrying things that he shouldn't
  • 00:15:58.017 --> 00:15:59.051
  • Things that he shouldn't even be dealing with?
  • 00:15:59.118 --> 00:16:01.620
  • Even be dealing with? and the only reason
  • 00:16:01.687 --> 00:16:02.454
  • And the only reason he's carrying them
  • 00:16:02.521 --> 00:16:03.555
  • He's carrying them is because he thought he was
  • 00:16:03.622 --> 00:16:05.190
  • Is because he thought he was being humble when he said,
  • 00:16:05.257 --> 00:16:06.725
  • Being humble when he said, "i can take it."
  • 00:16:06.792 --> 00:16:10.095
  • "i can take it." and the reason he thought
  • 00:16:10.162 --> 00:16:10.963
  • And the reason he thought he was being humble
  • 00:16:11.030 --> 00:16:11.964
  • He was being humble is because the devourer,
  • 00:16:12.031 --> 00:16:13.932
  • Is because the devourer, the lion that peter's
  • 00:16:13.999 --> 00:16:15.167
  • The lion that peter's talking about,
  • 00:16:15.234 --> 00:16:15.934
  • Talking about, that's the devil.
  • 00:16:16.001 --> 00:16:16.869
  • That's the devil. and the devil has been
  • 00:16:16.935 --> 00:16:17.836
  • And the devil has been a liar from the beginning.
  • 00:16:17.903 --> 00:16:20.806
  • A liar from the beginning. you're not created
  • 00:16:20.873 --> 00:16:21.740
  • You're not created to carry this stuff.
  • 00:16:21.807 --> 00:16:23.809
  • To carry this stuff. you weren't intended
  • 00:16:23.876 --> 00:16:24.777
  • You weren't intended to struggle with this stuff.
  • 00:16:24.843 --> 00:16:26.211
  • To struggle with this stuff. if you were intended
  • 00:16:26.278 --> 00:16:27.246
  • If you were intended to struggle with it,
  • 00:16:27.312 --> 00:16:28.180
  • To struggle with it, then christ would
  • 00:16:28.247 --> 00:16:29.214
  • Then christ would have told you,
  • 00:16:29.281 --> 00:16:29.848
  • Have told you, "don't cast your care on me,
  • 00:16:29.915 --> 00:16:31.483
  • "don't cast your care on me, you carry it."
  • 00:16:31.550 --> 00:16:33.185
  • You carry it." but he said what?
  • 00:16:33.252 --> 00:16:34.253
  • But he said what? cast all.
  • 00:16:34.319 --> 00:16:37.189
  • Cast all. cast what?
  • 00:16:37.256 --> 00:16:38.524
  • Cast what? all.
  • 00:16:38.590 --> 00:16:39.491
  • All. cast what?
  • 00:16:39.558 --> 00:16:40.793
  • Cast what? all your care on him.
  • 00:16:40.859 --> 00:16:42.394
  • All your care on him. it's easy to cast
  • 00:16:42.461 --> 00:16:43.929
  • It's easy to cast the concerns about the economy
  • 00:16:43.996 --> 00:16:45.864
  • The concerns about the economy and the global situations
  • 00:16:45.931 --> 00:16:47.366
  • And the global situations and the circumstances
  • 00:16:47.433 --> 00:16:48.167
  • And the circumstances that we're struggling with,
  • 00:16:48.233 --> 00:16:49.301
  • That we're struggling with, but what about the stuff
  • 00:16:49.368 --> 00:16:50.436
  • But what about the stuff that you've been carrying
  • 00:16:50.502 --> 00:16:51.336
  • That you've been carrying since you were a kid?
  • 00:16:51.403 --> 00:16:54.206
  • Since you were a kid? that's harder to let go of.
  • 00:16:54.273 --> 00:16:57.142
  • That's harder to let go of. but here's what the bible says,
  • 00:16:57.209 --> 00:17:01.013
  • But here's what the bible says, colossians 2:13.

  • Your burdens and come to the front.
  • 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:08.433
  • Come on.
  • 00:20:13.672 --> 00:20:15.807
  • Come on. we're only gonna sing one

  • We're only gonna sing one more verse of this song
  • 00:20:16.608 --> 00:20:17.376
  • More verse of this song and then you --
  • 00:20:17.442 --> 00:20:18.610
  • And then you -- you've heard it.
  • 00:20:18.677 --> 00:20:22.414
  • You've heard it. and he's down here
  • 00:20:22.481 --> 00:20:23.181
  • And he's down here because he wants that freedom,
  • 00:20:23.248 --> 00:20:24.916
  • Because he wants that freedom, he wants that liberty.
  • 00:20:24.983 --> 00:20:26.752
  • He wants that liberty. and when he gets here,
  • 00:20:26.818 --> 00:20:27.486
  • And when he gets here, his wife is like,
  • 00:20:27.552 --> 00:20:28.320
  • His wife is like, "oh, thank you jesus.
  • 00:20:28.387 --> 00:20:29.021
  • "oh, thank you jesus. i don't have to
  • 00:20:29.087 --> 00:20:29.588
  • I don't have to carry that no more."
  • 00:20:29.655 --> 00:20:30.555
  • Carry that no more." and his friend that he just met
  • 00:20:30.622 --> 00:20:31.623
  • And his friend that he just met is like, "yay, god."
  • 00:20:31.690 --> 00:20:32.557
  • [laughter]
  • 00:20:33.058 --> 00:20:35.227
  • But here's the problem.
  • 00:20:35.661 --> 00:20:38.730
  • But here's the problem. travis, he --
  • 00:20:38.797 --> 00:20:41.967
  • Travis, he -- you stuck in your work?
  • 00:20:42.034 --> 00:20:43.101
  • You stuck in your work? what's going on there?
  • 00:20:43.168 --> 00:20:44.836
  • What's going on there? yeah, all right.
  • 00:20:44.903 --> 00:20:45.470
  • Yeah, all right. see, it's a burden, brother.
  • 00:20:45.537 --> 00:20:49.608
  • See, it's a burden, brother. he'll leave it up here
  • 00:20:49.675 --> 00:20:50.509
  • He'll leave it up here on the altar,
  • 00:20:50.575 --> 00:20:53.478
  • On the altar, and he's so thankful for
  • 00:20:53.545 --> 00:20:54.746
  • And he's so thankful for what jesus did.
  • 00:20:54.813 --> 00:20:55.847
  • What jesus did. and he's, "hallelujah.
  • 00:20:55.914 --> 00:20:57.983
  • And he's, "hallelujah. i'm free at last."
  • 00:20:58.050 --> 00:21:01.586
  • I'm free at last." and then he raises his hand
  • 00:21:01.653 --> 00:21:04.089
  • And then he raises his hand and he receives the blessing.
  • 00:21:04.156 --> 00:21:07.192
  • And he receives the blessing. except for the fact
  • 00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:09.761
  • Except for the fact that he just can't let it go.
  • 00:21:09.828 --> 00:21:13.131
  • That he just can't let it go. go ahead and head
  • 00:21:13.198 --> 00:21:13.932
  • Go ahead and head for the back door.
  • 00:21:13.999 --> 00:21:16.335
  • For the back door. he leaves it here
  • 00:21:16.401 --> 00:21:18.570
  • He leaves it here for first service,
  • 00:21:18.637 --> 00:21:19.738
  • For first service, but monday, it follows him
  • 00:21:19.805 --> 00:21:22.007
  • But monday, it follows him to work.
  • 00:21:22.074 --> 00:21:22.541
  • To work. go ahead and keep walking.
  • 00:21:22.607 --> 00:21:23.342
  • Go ahead and keep walking. it'll stay with you.
  • 00:21:23.408 --> 00:21:25.877
  • It'll stay with you. and tuesday, it's still there.
  • 00:21:25.944 --> 00:21:29.081
  • And tuesday, it's still there. and wednesday, he has
  • 00:21:29.147 --> 00:21:30.882
  • And wednesday, he has a really hard day.
  • 00:21:30.949 --> 00:21:32.084
  • A really hard day. stop, travis.
  • 00:21:32.150 --> 00:21:32.718
  • Stop, travis. you're getting too close
  • 00:21:32.784 --> 00:21:33.385
  • You're getting too close to the exit, brother.
  • 00:21:33.452 --> 00:21:33.819
  • [laughter]
  • 00:21:34.052 --> 00:21:35.954
  • And sooner or later,
  • 00:21:36.855 --> 00:21:38.757
  • And sooner or later, the longer he drags it around,
  • 00:21:38.824 --> 00:21:40.392
  • The longer he drags it around, it might take days,
  • 00:21:40.459 --> 00:21:41.226
  • It might take days, it might take weeks,
  • 00:21:41.293 --> 00:21:42.094
  • It might take weeks, it might take months,
  • 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:42.928
  • It might take months, but all of that
  • 00:21:42.994 --> 00:21:43.729
  • But all of that catches back up with him.
  • 00:21:43.795 --> 00:21:46.498
  • Catches back up with him. and he says,
  • 00:21:46.565 --> 00:21:46.998
  • And he says, "i thought we got rid of
  • 00:21:47.065 --> 00:21:48.066
  • "i thought we got rid of that when i took it to church."
  • 00:21:48.133 --> 00:21:49.267
  • That when i took it to church." you took it to church,
  • 00:21:49.334 --> 00:21:50.635
  • You took it to church, you brought it to the altar
  • 00:21:50.702 --> 00:21:51.536
  • You brought it to the altar but you didn't let it go.
  • 00:21:51.603 --> 00:21:54.406
  • But you didn't let it go. and because you didn't
  • 00:21:54.473 --> 00:21:55.173
  • And because you didn't let it go,
  • 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.041
  • Let it go, you walk around carrying
  • 00:21:56.108 --> 00:21:57.943
  • You walk around carrying and dragging all of
  • 00:21:58.009 --> 00:21:58.810
  • And dragging all of that baggage with you,
  • 00:21:58.877 --> 00:22:00.278
  • That baggage with you, and then whenever
  • 00:22:00.345 --> 00:22:01.313
  • And then whenever it catches back up to you,
  • 00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:02.280
  • It catches back up to you, the biggest problem is
  • 00:22:02.347 --> 00:22:03.482
  • The biggest problem is the enemy tells you
  • 00:22:03.548 --> 00:22:04.516
  • The enemy tells you another lie and that lie is,
  • 00:22:04.583 --> 00:22:06.218
  • Another lie and that lie is, "you tried god and god
  • 00:22:06.284 --> 00:22:07.719
  • "you tried god and god didn't work."
  • 00:22:07.786 --> 00:22:11.356
  • Didn't work." but the truth is,
  • 00:22:11.423 --> 00:22:12.057
  • But the truth is, you haven't humbled yourself.
  • 00:22:12.124 --> 00:22:15.293
  • You haven't humbled yourself. you haven't said,
  • 00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:15.894
  • You haven't said, "jesus, because of what
  • 00:22:15.961 --> 00:22:16.895
  • "jesus, because of what you've done through your grace
  • 00:22:16.962 --> 00:22:18.997
  • You've done through your grace in faith, i don't have to
  • 00:22:19.064 --> 00:22:20.999
  • In faith, i don't have to carry it anymore.
  • 00:22:21.066 --> 00:22:22.634
  • [applause]
  • 00:22:23.168 --> 00:22:24.202
  • Go ahead and come on back
  • 00:22:25.137 --> 00:22:26.438
  • Go ahead and come on back to church, travis.
  • 00:22:26.505 --> 00:22:26.805
  • [applause]
  • 00:22:27.072 --> 00:22:29.541
  • So, what does it take to cast
  • 00:22:30.876 --> 00:22:34.045
  • So, what does it take to cast all of your cares on him?
  • 00:22:34.112 --> 00:22:36.481
  • All of your cares on him? first, humility.
  • 00:22:36.548 --> 00:22:40.485
  • First, humility. "god, if you didn't die for me,
  • 00:22:40.552 --> 00:22:47.225
  • "god, if you didn't die for me, i'd be dead in my
  • 00:22:47.292 --> 00:22:48.126
  • I'd be dead in my trespasses and sin.
  • 00:22:48.193 --> 00:22:50.729
  • Trespasses and sin. but because you died for me,
  • 00:22:50.796 --> 00:22:54.366
  • But because you died for me, i don't even have to worry
  • 00:22:54.433 --> 00:22:58.069
  • I don't even have to worry about my salvation because you
  • 00:22:58.136 --> 00:22:59.805
  • About my salvation because you have given me salvation.
  • 00:22:59.871 --> 00:23:04.242
  • Have given me salvation. if i believe in you,
  • 00:23:04.309 --> 00:23:07.345
  • If i believe in you, i receive your grace,
  • 00:23:07.412 --> 00:23:08.780
  • I receive your grace, your mercy,
  • 00:23:08.847 --> 00:23:09.481
  • Your mercy, and my sins that were
  • 00:23:09.548 --> 00:23:10.415
  • And my sins that were scarlet become white as snow.
  • 00:23:10.482 --> 00:23:13.785
  • Scarlet become white as snow. you did that in faith."
  • 00:23:13.852 --> 00:23:17.155
  • You did that in faith." and then you need to do
  • 00:23:17.222 --> 00:23:19.357
  • And then you need to do something else in humility.
  • 00:23:19.424 --> 00:23:22.260
  • Something else in humility. let go.
  • 00:23:22.327 --> 00:23:25.430
  • Let go. peter knew about casting.
  • 00:23:25.497 --> 00:23:27.132
  • Peter knew about casting. peter was a fisherman.
  • 00:23:27.199 --> 00:23:29.367
  • Peter was a fisherman. and when he's talking
  • 00:23:29.434 --> 00:23:30.135
  • And when he's talking about casting,
  • 00:23:30.202 --> 00:23:31.236
  • About casting, he's talking about something
  • 00:23:31.303 --> 00:23:32.370
  • He's talking about something that a fisherman did
  • 00:23:32.437 --> 00:23:33.572
  • That a fisherman did on a very regular basis.
  • 00:23:33.638 --> 00:23:35.006
  • On a very regular basis. and if he did not do it well,
  • 00:23:35.073 --> 00:23:36.475
  • And if he did not do it well, he would starve to death.
  • 00:23:36.541 --> 00:23:39.010
  • He would starve to death. and when you understood what
  • 00:23:39.077 --> 00:23:40.111
  • And when you understood what peter understood about casting,
  • 00:23:40.178 --> 00:23:41.913
  • Peter understood about casting, you knew that you couldn't
  • 00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:42.814
  • You knew that you couldn't do it half-heartedly.
  • 00:23:42.881 --> 00:23:44.082
  • Do it half-heartedly. you had to commit
  • 00:23:44.149 --> 00:23:44.983
  • You had to commit yourself to doing it.
  • 00:23:45.050 --> 00:23:46.952
  • Yourself to doing it. it was a two-hand job.
  • 00:23:47.018 --> 00:23:48.520
  • It was a two-hand job. if you cast with one hand,
  • 00:23:48.587 --> 00:23:50.655
  • If you cast with one hand, the net's not gonna open up
  • 00:23:50.722 --> 00:23:52.023
  • The net's not gonna open up and you're not gonna
  • 00:23:52.090 --> 00:23:52.591
  • And you're not gonna catch anything.
  • 00:23:52.657 --> 00:23:54.392
  • Catch anything. and most people come
  • 00:23:54.459 --> 00:23:55.627
  • And most people come into environments like this,
  • 00:23:55.694 --> 00:23:56.995
  • Into environments like this, and when they decide
  • 00:23:57.062 --> 00:23:57.896
  • And when they decide to let something go,
  • 00:23:57.963 --> 00:23:58.697
  • To let something go, they just go,
  • 00:23:58.763 --> 00:24:02.000
  • They just go, "we'll see."
  • 00:24:02.067 --> 00:24:05.237
  • "we'll see." god is not a "we'll see" god.
  • 00:24:05.303 --> 00:24:08.840
  • God is not a "we'll see" god. he is a "believe on me" god.
  • 00:24:08.907 --> 00:24:10.308
  • [applause]
  • 00:24:10.709 --> 00:24:16.982
  • So, when peter says cast
  • 00:24:17.382 --> 00:24:18.750
  • So, when peter says cast all of your cares,
  • 00:24:18.817 --> 00:24:20.018
  • All of your cares, he said humble yourself
  • 00:24:20.085 --> 00:24:21.319
  • He said humble yourself enough to know that without
  • 00:24:21.386 --> 00:24:22.220
  • Enough to know that without him you can't do anything.
  • 00:24:22.287 --> 00:24:24.789
  • Him you can't do anything. and then have enough faith
  • 00:24:24.856 --> 00:24:25.891
  • And then have enough faith to believe that he is everything
  • 00:24:25.957 --> 00:24:28.260
  • To believe that he is everything he said he would be.
  • 00:24:28.326 --> 00:24:30.729
  • He said he would be. that he is your burden-bearer,
  • 00:24:30.795 --> 00:24:32.864
  • That he is your burden-bearer, that he is your healer,
  • 00:24:32.931 --> 00:24:34.499
  • That he is your healer, that he is your provider,
  • 00:24:34.566 --> 00:24:36.468
  • That he is your provider, that he can make a way where
  • 00:24:36.535 --> 00:24:37.969
  • That he can make a way where there seems to be no way.
  • 00:24:38.036 --> 00:24:40.138
  • There seems to be no way. you see, whenever you
  • 00:24:40.205 --> 00:24:40.972
  • You see, whenever you begin to cast your fear
  • 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:42.407
  • Begin to cast your fear and your anxiety
  • 00:24:42.474 --> 00:24:43.608
  • And your anxiety and your worry on him,
  • 00:24:43.675 --> 00:24:45.377
  • And your worry on him, and he begins
  • 00:24:45.443 --> 00:24:46.044
  • And he begins to send his kindness,
  • 00:24:46.111 --> 00:24:47.178
  • To send his kindness, his compassion,
  • 00:24:47.245 --> 00:24:48.113
  • His compassion, and his care towards you,
  • 00:24:48.179 --> 00:24:50.081
  • And his care towards you, you start to understand what
  • 00:24:50.148 --> 00:24:51.383
  • You start to understand what it means to be more than
  • 00:24:51.449 --> 00:24:52.584
  • It means to be more than a conqueror through christ.
  • 00:24:52.651 --> 00:24:53.218
  • How are you more
  • 00:24:53.919 --> 00:24:55.253
  • How are you more than a conqueror?
  • 00:24:55.320 --> 00:24:56.087
  • Than a conqueror? because in faith
  • 00:24:56.154 --> 00:24:57.522
  • Because in faith and humility you decided,
  • 00:24:57.589 --> 00:24:59.391
  • And humility you decided, "i don't have to carry
  • 00:24:59.457 --> 00:25:00.859
  • "i don't have to carry what the devil wants
  • 00:25:00.926 --> 00:25:01.893
  • What the devil wants to shackle me with.
  • 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:02.994
  • To shackle me with. i can let it go because christ
  • 00:25:03.061 --> 00:25:05.297
  • I can let it go because christ has nailed it to the cross.
  • 00:25:05.363 --> 00:25:06.965
  • Has nailed it to the cross. and when it's nailed
  • 00:25:07.032 --> 00:25:07.899
  • And when it's nailed to the cross,
  • 00:25:07.966 --> 00:25:08.500
  • To the cross, it's a part of my past.
  • 00:25:08.567 --> 00:25:10.135
  • It's a part of my past. it's not a part of my present,

  • It's not a part of my present, and it has no place in my future
  • 00:25:11.636 --> 00:25:13.438
  • And it has no place in my future because whom the son sets free
  • 00:25:13.505 --> 00:25:15.707
  • Because whom the son sets free is free indeed."
  • 00:25:15.774 --> 00:25:17.842
  • Is free indeed." give the lord a hand
  • 00:25:17.909 --> 00:25:19.210
