Is his business. i used to be a first-class chief reasoner.
00:02:55.465 --> 00:02:56.299
I used to be a first-class chief reasoner. i had to have a reason
00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:57.267
Chief reasoner. i had to have a reason for everything.
00:02:57.333 --> 00:03:00.303
I had to have a reason for everything. just couldn't stand
00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:01.938
For everything. just couldn't stand it if i didn't think i had,
00:03:02.005 --> 00:03:04.040
Just couldn't stand it if i didn't think i had, had it all figured out.
00:03:04.107 --> 00:03:05.208
It if i didn't think i had, had it all figured out. and then god told me,
00:03:05.275 --> 00:03:05.975
Had it all figured out. and then god told me, "you know, you think you got
00:03:06.042 --> 00:03:06.976
And then god told me, "you know, you think you got everything all figured out,
00:03:07.043 --> 00:03:07.677
"you know, you think you got everything all figured out, but you don't."
00:03:07.744 --> 00:03:10.813
Everything all figured out, but you don't." you know, it's amazing sometimes
00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:12.248
But you don't." you know, it's amazing sometimes how we're just sure that
00:03:12.315 --> 00:03:13.449
You know, it's amazing sometimes how we're just sure that god's gonna do it this way.
00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:14.584
How we're just sure that god's gonna do it this way. and then he comes through
00:03:14.651 --> 00:03:15.385
God's gonna do it this way. and then he comes through another door that we're
00:03:15.451 --> 00:03:18.021
And then he comes through another door that we're totally shocked about.
00:03:18.087 --> 00:03:20.390
Another door that we're totally shocked about. and, you know, when you're
00:03:20.456 --> 00:03:21.291
Totally shocked about. and, you know, when you're waiting to hear from god,
00:03:21.357 --> 00:03:23.393
And, you know, when you're waiting to hear from god, he doesn't even always speak
00:03:23.459 --> 00:03:24.727
Waiting to hear from god, he doesn't even always speak to you the way that you
00:03:24.794 --> 00:03:26.262
He doesn't even always speak to you the way that you might think that he will.
00:03:26.329 --> 00:03:28.931
To you the way that you might think that he will. i think most of my hearing
00:03:28.998 --> 00:03:31.567
Might think that he will. i think most of my hearing from god is just knowing.
00:03:31.634 --> 00:03:34.971
I think most of my hearing from god is just knowing. it's just--i just know.
00:03:35.038 --> 00:03:36.706
From god is just knowing. it's just--i just know. i know that's what
00:03:36.773 --> 00:03:38.875
It's just--i just know. i know that's what god wants me to do.
00:03:38.941 --> 00:03:40.810
I know that's what god wants me to do. and i had a pretty big thing
00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:42.912
God wants me to do. and i had a pretty big thing i was praying about this month,
00:03:42.979 --> 00:03:45.882
And i had a pretty big thing i was praying about this month, an answer that we really
00:03:45.948 --> 00:03:47.383
I was praying about this month, an answer that we really needed for something
00:03:47.450 --> 00:03:48.184
An answer that we really needed for something and just seemed like god
00:03:48.251 --> 00:03:49.085
Needed for something and just seemed like god wasn't saying anything.
00:03:49.152 --> 00:03:51.487
And just seemed like god wasn't saying anything. and so i was praying
00:03:51.554 --> 00:03:52.722
Wasn't saying anything. and so i was praying and praying,
00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:55.958
And so i was praying and praying, then i went a couple of days
00:03:56.025 --> 00:03:57.293
And praying, then i went a couple of days and i wasn't praying about it.
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.197
Then i went a couple of days and i wasn't praying about it. and all of a sudden one day
00:04:01.264 --> 00:04:03.399
And i wasn't praying about it. and all of a sudden one day i just knew what i was
00:04:03.466 --> 00:04:05.902
And all of a sudden one day i just knew what i was supposed to do.
00:04:05.968 --> 00:04:08.237
I just knew what i was supposed to do. and see a lot of times,
00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:09.238
Supposed to do. and see a lot of times, and i said this in one
00:04:09.305 --> 00:04:10.139
And see a lot of times, and i said this in one of the other services,
00:04:10.206 --> 00:04:11.140
And i said this in one of the other services, god doesn't do it for you,
00:04:11.207 --> 00:04:12.875
Of the other services, god doesn't do it for you, he does it through you.
00:04:12.942 --> 00:04:15.745
Ephesians 3:20 says,
00:04:17.013 --> 00:04:18.047
Ephesians 3:20 says, "god is able to do exceedingly
00:04:18.114 --> 00:04:20.883
Ephesians 3:20 says, "god is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond
00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:23.686
"god is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all that we could ever dare
00:04:23.753 --> 00:04:25.121
Abundantly above and beyond all that we could ever dare to hope, ask or think."
00:04:25.188 --> 00:04:26.956
All that we could ever dare to hope, ask or think." so god is just inviting you,
00:04:27.023 --> 00:04:28.758
To hope, ask or think." so god is just inviting you, “pray big prayers.
00:04:28.825 --> 00:04:30.393
So god is just inviting you, “pray big prayers. pray bold prayers.
00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:31.961
“pray big prayers. pray bold prayers. don't ask for little
00:04:32.028 --> 00:04:32.695
Pray bold prayers. don't ask for little bitty stuff.
00:04:32.762 --> 00:04:33.863
Don't ask for little bitty stuff. i'm not a little bitty god.”
00:04:33.930 --> 00:04:36.032
Bitty stuff. i'm not a little bitty god.” but then he says,
00:04:36.099 --> 00:04:37.066
I'm not a little bitty god.” but then he says, god is able.
00:04:37.133 --> 00:04:37.967
But then he says, god is able. "god is able to do exceedingly,
00:04:38.034 --> 00:04:40.370
God is able. "god is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond
00:04:40.436 --> 00:04:41.838
"god is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all that we could ever
00:04:41.904 --> 00:04:42.605
Abundantly, above and beyond all that we could ever dare to hope, ask, or think
00:04:42.672 --> 00:04:44.140
All that we could ever dare to hope, ask, or think according to the power
00:04:44.207 --> 00:04:45.742
Dare to hope, ask, or think according to the power that worketh in you."
00:04:45.808 --> 00:04:49.412
I only ever hear anybody preach
00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:52.949
I only ever hear anybody preach on the first part of that.
00:04:53.015 --> 00:04:54.951
I only ever hear anybody preach on the first part of that. but what does that mean,
00:04:55.017 --> 00:04:55.785
On the first part of that. but what does that mean, according to the power
00:04:55.852 --> 00:04:56.753
But what does that mean, according to the power that worketh in you?

According to the power that worketh in you? well, god gives us power.

That worketh in you? well, god gives us power. he gives us dunamis.

Well, god gives us power. he gives us dunamis. he gives us ability.

He gives us ability. and mostly god works through us.

Don't make the mistake of waiting all your life for god to do it for you.
00:05:12.769 --> 00:05:15.571
You know, john 5 has a story
00:05:16.506 --> 00:05:18.741
You know, john 5 has a story about a crippled man who
00:05:18.808 --> 00:05:20.710
You know, john 5 has a story about a crippled man who lay by the gate called
00:05:20.777 --> 00:05:21.878
About a crippled man who lay by the gate called beautiful for 38 years
00:05:21.944 --> 00:05:23.646
Lay by the gate called beautiful for 38 years waiting for a miracle.
00:05:23.713 --> 00:05:28.317
Beautiful for 38 years waiting for a miracle. wonder how many people
00:05:28.384 --> 00:05:30.787
Waiting for a miracle. wonder how many people have just been waiting
00:05:30.853 --> 00:05:31.621
Wonder how many people have just been waiting 10, 15, 20 years
00:05:31.687 --> 00:05:33.189
Have just been waiting 10, 15, 20 years for your miracle?
00:05:33.256 --> 00:05:37.393
10, 15, 20 years for your miracle? and when jesus found the man
00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:38.995
For your miracle? and when jesus found the man lying there helpless, it says.
00:05:39.061 --> 00:05:41.230
And when jesus found the man lying there helpless, it says. now, you would think if jesus
00:05:41.297 --> 00:05:43.466
Lying there helpless, it says. now, you would think if jesus finds somebody helpless,
00:05:43.533 --> 00:05:45.568
Now, you would think if jesus finds somebody helpless, he'd have a lot of compassion,
00:05:45.635 --> 00:05:46.803
Finds somebody helpless, he'd have a lot of compassion, say, "oh, you poor,
00:05:46.869 --> 00:05:47.703
He'd have a lot of compassion, say, "oh, you poor, poor fellow."
00:05:47.770 --> 00:05:49.472
Say, "oh, you poor, poor fellow." and jesus did say to him,
00:05:49.539 --> 00:05:50.673
Poor fellow." and jesus did say to him, "how long have you been there?"
00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:51.774
And jesus did say to him, "how long have you been there?" and he said, "38 years."
00:05:51.841 --> 00:05:53.242
"how long have you been there?" and he said, "38 years." but the amplified bible says
00:05:53.309 --> 00:05:54.877
And he said, "38 years." but the amplified bible says jesus said that to him to shock
00:05:54.944 --> 00:05:57.079
But the amplified bible says jesus said that to him to shock him into realizing how long
00:05:57.146 --> 00:05:58.948
Jesus said that to him to shock him into realizing how long he'd been laying there.
00:05:59.015 --> 00:06:02.618
So maybe i need to say to some
00:06:02.685 --> 00:06:04.520
So maybe i need to say to some of you today, how long have
00:06:04.587 --> 00:06:06.022
So maybe i need to say to some of you today, how long have you been at the same mountain?

Of you today, how long have you been at the same mountain? how long have you been
00:06:10.626 --> 00:06:11.294
You been at the same mountain? how long have you been going around and around

How long have you been going around and around the same mountain?
00:06:12.528 --> 00:06:15.698
Going around and around the same mountain? if it's too long,
00:06:15.765 --> 00:06:16.566
The same mountain? if it's too long, that may indicate there's
00:06:16.632 --> 00:06:17.834
If it's too long, that may indicate there's time for a change, amen?
00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:21.270
That may indicate there's time for a change, amen? well, jesus did heal the man,
00:06:21.337 --> 00:06:25.641
Time for a change, amen? well, jesus did heal the man, but it was a little different
00:06:25.708 --> 00:06:29.412
Well, jesus did heal the man, but it was a little different than what you might think.
00:06:29.479 --> 00:06:31.113
But it was a little different than what you might think. jesus said to him--
00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:34.851
Well, first of all, the man,
00:06:34.917 --> 00:06:36.352
Well, first of all, the man, when jesus said, "how long

Well, first of all, the man, when jesus said, "how long have you been lying there?"
00:06:37.553 --> 00:06:38.354
When jesus said, "how long have you been lying there?" the man says, "well, i have
00:06:38.421 --> 00:06:41.858
Have you been lying there?" the man says, "well, i have nobody to help me when--
00:06:41.924 --> 00:06:43.226
The man says, "well, i have nobody to help me when-- get into the pool,
00:06:43.292 --> 00:06:44.293
Nobody to help me when-- get into the pool, when the water's bubbling up.
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:45.595
Get into the pool, when the water's bubbling up. and every time i try,
00:06:45.661 --> 00:06:46.529
When the water's bubbling up. and every time i try, somebody always gets
00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:47.296
And every time i try, somebody always gets ahead of me."
00:06:47.363 --> 00:06:48.264
Somebody always gets ahead of me." i get so much out of that story
00:06:48.331 --> 00:06:50.500
Ahead of me." i get so much out of that story because the guy had been
00:06:50.566 --> 00:06:52.068
I get so much out of that story because the guy had been laying there 38 years,
00:06:52.134 --> 00:06:54.437
Because the guy had been laying there 38 years, really kind of feeling
00:06:54.504 --> 00:06:55.304
Laying there 38 years, really kind of feeling sorry for himself.
00:06:55.371 --> 00:06:56.873
"everybody always
00:06:58.074 --> 00:06:58.674
"everybody always gets ahead of me.
00:06:58.741 --> 00:07:00.543
"everybody always gets ahead of me. nobody helps me."
00:07:00.610 --> 00:07:02.879
Gets ahead of me. nobody helps me." and jesus didn't say,
00:07:02.945 --> 00:07:03.746
Nobody helps me." and jesus didn't say, "oh, you poor guy,
00:07:03.813 --> 00:07:04.614
And jesus didn't say, "oh, you poor guy, that's terrible.
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.414
"oh, you poor guy, that's terrible. nobody's helped you.
00:07:05.481 --> 00:07:06.182
That's terrible. nobody's helped you. everybody gets ahead of you."
00:07:06.249 --> 00:07:07.316
Nobody's helped you. everybody gets ahead of you." jesus just looked at him
00:07:07.383 --> 00:07:08.751
Everybody gets ahead of you." jesus just looked at him and said, "get up!"
00:07:08.818 --> 00:07:10.987
Jesus just looked at him and said, "get up!" >> [audience laughing]

>> joyce: "get up!" and in the bible there's an exclamation mark.
00:07:19.762 --> 00:07:20.897
And in the bible there's an exclamation mark. so that kinda means
00:07:20.963 --> 00:07:21.864
An exclamation mark. so that kinda means he must've said it loud.
00:07:21.931 --> 00:07:24.433
So that kinda means he must've said it loud. "get up!
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:25.902
He must've said it loud. "get up! and take your sleeping pad
00:07:25.968 --> 00:07:28.204
"get up! and take your sleeping pad with you."
00:07:28.271 --> 00:07:28.538
And take your sleeping pad with you." i kinda get that like, get up

And take your mess with you. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: amen?

And sometimes that's all people need to do.
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:35.945
And sometimes that's all people need to do. they need to just stop feeling
00:07:36.012 --> 00:07:36.946
People need to do. they need to just stop feeling sorry for themselves
00:07:37.013 --> 00:07:38.414
They need to just stop feeling sorry for themselves because they're not the only
00:07:38.481 --> 00:07:39.415
Sorry for themselves because they're not the only person in the world that's
00:07:39.482 --> 00:07:40.383
Because they're not the only person in the world that's ever had any trouble.

Person in the world that's ever had any trouble. amen?

Amen? and that was something i had to do.

And that was something i had to do. there were many things
00:07:48.791 --> 00:07:49.825
I had to do. there were many things i had to do to get
00:07:49.892 --> 00:07:50.826
There were many things i had to do to get to where i am now.
00:07:50.893 --> 00:07:52.361
I had to do to get to where i am now. but i had breakthrough
00:07:52.428 --> 00:07:54.830
To where i am now. but i had breakthrough after breakthrough

After breakthrough after breakthrough in different things.
00:07:56.299 --> 00:07:56.966
After breakthrough in different things. but one of them was
00:07:57.033 --> 00:07:59.135
In different things. but one of them was regarding self-pity.
00:07:59.201 --> 00:08:00.770
But one of them was regarding self-pity. and i felt sorry for myself
00:08:00.836 --> 00:08:02.705
Regarding self-pity. and i felt sorry for myself because i'd been abused.
00:08:02.772 --> 00:08:05.408
And as i was conversing
00:08:06.842 --> 00:08:07.777
And as i was conversing with the lord one day,
00:08:07.843 --> 00:08:09.812
And as i was conversing with the lord one day, i acted bad because of my abuse,
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.847
With the lord one day, i acted bad because of my abuse, because i--well,
00:08:11.914 --> 00:08:14.550
I acted bad because of my abuse, because i--well, i was just an angry person,
00:08:14.617 --> 00:08:16.185
Because i--well, i was just an angry person, i guess, inside.
00:08:16.252 --> 00:08:17.019
I was just an angry person, i guess, inside. and i felt like the world

And i felt like the world owed me something. and i was owed something.

Owed me something. and i was owed something. but the thing is, is one person

And i was owed something. but the thing is, is one person can't pay you for what another
00:08:25.127 --> 00:08:26.362
But the thing is, is one person can't pay you for what another person took from you.
00:08:26.429 --> 00:08:27.663
Can't pay you for what another person took from you. but there's somebody who can,

Person took from you. but there's somebody who can, and it's god.

I don't know what it would be like to have a dad that you could go home and ask

Be like to have a dad that you could go home and ask his advice on something.

And then after being mistreated the way i was, god asked me and dave
00:10:21.811 --> 00:10:25.314
Mistreated the way i was, god asked me and dave to take care of my parents
00:10:25.381 --> 00:10:27.583
God asked me and dave to take care of my parents when they got older.
00:10:27.650 --> 00:10:30.453
And they lived a long time.

Why should you spend your life being miserable when the person who hurt you

For yourself because you had a bad shake in life, or things didn't go the way you thought,

Didn't go the way you thought, or you look at other people and you think,
00:11:59.008 --> 00:11:59.575
Or you look at other people and you think, "how blessed they are,
00:11:59.642 --> 00:12:00.342
And you think, "how blessed they are, and what's wrong with me?"
00:12:00.409 --> 00:12:02.044
"how blessed they are, and what's wrong with me?" but i'll tell you what,

And what's wrong with me?" but i'll tell you what, if you'll shake off that,

But i'll tell you what, if you'll shake off that, and get a "god is good"
00:12:06.315 --> 00:12:07.349
If you'll shake off that, and get a "god is good" attitude, and "he's good to me,"
00:12:07.416 --> 00:12:11.220
And get a "god is good" attitude, and "he's good to me," some of you are really
00:12:11.287 --> 00:12:12.188
Attitude, and "he's good to me," some of you are really missing your blessings just
00:12:12.254 --> 00:12:13.956
Some of you are really missing your blessings just because of an attitude,
00:12:14.023 --> 00:12:18.194
Missing your blessings just because of an attitude, just an attitude.
00:12:18.260 --> 00:12:21.363
Because of an attitude, just an attitude. you know, one man was
00:12:21.430 --> 00:12:27.670
Just an attitude. you know, one man was in the nazi concentration camps
00:12:27.736 --> 00:12:29.405
You know, one man was in the nazi concentration camps and he said, "they can take
00:12:29.471 --> 00:12:30.372
In the nazi concentration camps and he said, "they can take everything away from me that
00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:31.540
And he said, "they can take everything away from me that they want to, but they can't
00:12:31.607 --> 00:12:32.575
Everything away from me that they want to, but they can't take away my attitude."
00:12:32.641 --> 00:12:35.044
They want to, but they can't take away my attitude." and he determined to have
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:36.178
Take away my attitude." and he determined to have a good attitude even
00:12:36.245 --> 00:12:37.112
And he determined to have a good attitude even though he was in such
00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:38.013
A good attitude even though he was in such a terrible situation.
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.616
Though he was in such a terrible situation. and you know, it's not
00:12:40.683 --> 00:12:41.584
A terrible situation. and you know, it's not our circumstances that
00:12:41.650 --> 00:12:42.818
And you know, it's not our circumstances that make us miserable.

It's not really our circumstances that make us unhappy.
00:12:57.333 --> 00:12:58.033
Circumstances that make us unhappy. it's our attitude about
00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.501
Us unhappy. it's our attitude about our circumstances.
00:12:59.568 --> 00:13:02.638

How we fall into that trap of, "poor me, why'd this have to happen to me?"
00:13:14.950 --> 00:13:16.418
"poor me, why'd this have to happen to me?" one man that i know,
00:13:16.485 --> 00:13:17.386
To happen to me?" one man that i know, his son had cancer.
00:13:17.453 --> 00:13:19.488
One man that i know, his son had cancer. and of course he was
00:13:19.555 --> 00:13:20.256
His son had cancer. and of course he was believing for a miracle
00:13:20.322 --> 00:13:21.557
And of course he was believing for a miracle and he didn't get it.
00:13:21.624 --> 00:13:22.591
Believing for a miracle and he didn't get it. the boy died and he was kinda
00:13:22.658 --> 00:13:23.926
And he didn't get it. the boy died and he was kinda mad at god, and so he said
00:13:23.993 --> 00:13:26.061
The boy died and he was kinda mad at god, and so he said to god, "where were you
00:13:26.128 --> 00:13:26.896
Mad at god, and so he said to god, "where were you when my son died?"
00:13:26.962 --> 00:13:29.265
To god, "where were you when my son died?" and you know what
00:13:29.331 --> 00:13:29.865
When my son died?" and you know what god said back?
00:13:29.932 --> 00:13:30.532
And you know what god said back? "same place i was
00:13:30.599 --> 00:13:31.367

00:13:42.244 --> 00:13:42.878
And think a little bit, won't it? look what god sacrificed
00:13:42.945 --> 00:13:44.246
Won't it? look what god sacrificed for us, and then we get
00:13:44.313 --> 00:13:47.783
Look what god sacrificed for us, and then we get ticked off if we're
00:13:47.850 --> 00:13:49.618
For us, and then we get ticked off if we're a little uncomfortable.
00:13:49.685 --> 00:13:53.756
Ticked off if we're a little uncomfortable. we're spoiled.
00:13:53.822 --> 00:13:56.892
If we say we trust god while
00:14:01.931 --> 00:14:03.866
If we say we trust god while we worry, fret, and have
00:14:03.933 --> 00:14:05.401
If we say we trust god while we worry, fret, and have anxiety, then the truth is,
00:14:05.467 --> 00:14:07.036
We worry, fret, and have anxiety, then the truth is, we're not totally trusting him.
00:14:07.102 --> 00:14:09.438
Anxiety, then the truth is, we're not totally trusting him. we may be trying to trust him,
00:14:09.505 --> 00:14:11.440
We're not totally trusting him. we may be trying to trust him, and we may be trusting him
00:14:11.507 --> 00:14:12.708
We may be trying to trust him, and we may be trusting him to some degree, but until
00:14:12.775 --> 00:14:15.678
And we may be trusting him to some degree, but until we have entered the rest
00:14:15.744 --> 00:14:17.179
To some degree, but until we have entered the rest of god, that supernatural
00:14:17.246 --> 00:14:21.083
We have entered the rest of god, that supernatural rest of god.
00:14:21.150 --> 00:14:23.018
Of god, that supernatural rest of god. and that rest is not
00:14:23.085 --> 00:14:24.186
Rest of god. and that rest is not a rest from work.
00:14:24.253 --> 00:14:26.322
And that rest is not a rest from work. if you study it in the greek,
00:14:26.388 --> 00:14:27.356
A rest from work. if you study it in the greek, it's a rest in work.
00:14:27.423 --> 00:14:30.559
If you study it in the greek, it's a rest in work. hebrews 4:3 and 10.
00:14:30.626 --> 00:14:32.962
It's a rest in work. hebrews 4:3 and 10. "we who have believed,"
00:14:33.028 --> 00:14:36.432
Hebrews 4:3 and 10. "we who have believed," there goes that believing again,
00:14:36.498 --> 00:14:39.401
"we who have believed," there goes that believing again, "and trusted in and relied
00:14:39.468 --> 00:14:40.602
There goes that believing again, "and trusted in and relied on god) do enter that rest,"

"and trusted in and relied on god) do enter that rest," that supernatural rest,

On god) do enter that rest," that supernatural rest, that you can have in the midst

That supernatural rest, that you can have in the midst of whatever you're doing
00:14:47.676 --> 00:14:48.744
That you can have in the midst of whatever you're doing or whatever you're
00:14:48.811 --> 00:14:49.378
Of whatever you're doing or whatever you're going through.
00:14:49.445 --> 00:14:55.851
Or whatever you're going through. "do enter that rest,
00:14:55.918 --> 00:14:56.885
Going through. "do enter that rest, in accordance with his
00:14:56.952 --> 00:14:57.786
"do enter that rest, in accordance with his declaration that those
00:14:57.853 --> 00:14:58.854
In accordance with his declaration that those [who did not believe]
00:14:58.921 --> 00:14:59.488
Declaration that those [who did not believe] would not enter his rest."
00:14:59.555 --> 00:15:03.459
[who did not believe] would not enter his rest." and then verse 10 says,
00:15:03.525 --> 00:15:05.594
Would not enter his rest." and then verse 10 says, "for he who has once entered
00:15:05.661 --> 00:15:06.829
And then verse 10 says, "for he who has once entered [god's] rest has also ceased
00:15:06.895 --> 00:15:08.664
"for he who has once entered [god's] rest has also ceased from [the weariness and
00:15:08.731 --> 00:15:10.199
[god's] rest has also ceased from [the weariness and the pain] of human labor,
00:15:10.265 --> 00:15:11.600
From [the weariness and the pain] of human labor, just as god rested from those
00:15:11.667 --> 00:15:15.104
The pain] of human labor, just as god rested from those labors peculiarly his own."
00:15:15.170 --> 00:15:18.073
Just as god rested from those labors peculiarly his own." you know, trusting god
00:15:18.140 --> 00:15:19.041
Or believing god causes
00:15:19.108 --> 00:15:20.175
Or believing god causes you to end rest,
00:15:20.242 --> 00:15:20.943
Or believing god causes you to end rest, when you have a problem.
00:15:21.010 --> 00:15:23.812
Always pray.
00:15:25.614 --> 00:15:26.382
Always pray. but prayer is not our effort
00:15:26.448 --> 00:15:27.916
Always pray. but prayer is not our effort trying to talk god into
00:15:27.983 --> 00:15:29.118
But prayer is not our effort trying to talk god into doing something for us.
00:15:29.184 --> 00:15:32.921
Trying to talk god into doing something for us. it's simply asking in faith
00:15:32.988 --> 00:15:34.356
Doing something for us. it's simply asking in faith for what is already available
00:15:34.423 --> 00:15:35.691
It's simply asking in faith for what is already available through the finished work
00:15:35.758 --> 00:15:36.625
For what is already available through the finished work of christ on the cross.
00:15:36.692 --> 00:15:37.826
