  • Benny tate: let me tell you something, there's power in
  • 00:00:06.863 --> 00:00:09.432
  • Somebody believing in you, and if we would let one another know
  • 00:00:09.432 --> 00:00:12.635
  • We're proud of each other, maybe we wouldn't struggle with pride
  • 00:00:12.635 --> 00:00:16.506
  • The way we do.
  • 00:00:16.506 --> 00:00:18.508
  • Just having somebody to believe in you, somebody to say you can
  • 00:00:18.508 --> 00:00:24.047
  • Do it, somebody to give you that push, just give you
  • 00:00:24.047 --> 00:00:28.785
  • That encouragement.
  • 00:00:28.785 --> 00:00:30.120
  • The bible says but exhort one another daily, because we all
  • 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.356

  • Blynda lane: we're so happy to have you.
  • 00:01:15.331 --> 00:01:16.966
  • We touched in the last program on your book, "yes you can," but
  • 00:01:16.966 --> 00:01:20.603
  • We wanna dive a little bit more into it.
  • 00:01:20.603 --> 00:01:22.739
  • In the first program you spoke about a stepfather, and you were
  • 00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:26.709
  • Speaking really from the sense of how important words are and
  • 00:01:26.709 --> 00:01:30.046
  • How we get no-s a lot of in our life, especially in our younger
  • 00:01:30.046 --> 00:01:34.184
  • Years, and you had a stepfather that really maybe spoke some
  • 00:01:34.184 --> 00:01:37.887
  • Harsher no-s to you, but that's not where the story ends, that's
  • 00:01:37.887 --> 00:01:42.358
  • Actually just more where it began.
  • 00:01:42.358 --> 00:01:44.194
  • Tell us about the journey to getting to the yes you can
  • 00:01:44.194 --> 00:01:48.498
  • Belief and what who influenced your life there?
  • 00:01:48.498 --> 00:01:51.134
  • Benny: well, after i became a christian, after a little while
  • 00:01:51.134 --> 00:01:54.270
  • I started preaching.
  • 00:01:54.270 --> 00:01:55.638
  • Now i was, listen, i was just as raw as could be.
  • 00:01:55.638 --> 00:01:58.608
  • I was preaching messages out of the book of spasm.
  • 00:01:58.608 --> 00:02:01.477
  • I didn't know it was psalms.
  • 00:02:01.477 --> 00:02:03.279
  • One night a lady asked me who the who the epistles were.
  • 00:02:03.279 --> 00:02:06.416
  • I said i think they were the apostles' wives.
  • 00:02:06.416 --> 00:02:08.585
  • I mean, i was just as raw as could be, but i
  • 00:02:08.585 --> 00:02:11.454
  • Started preaching.
  • 00:02:11.454 --> 00:02:12.789
  • And blynda, i started preaching on street corners.
  • 00:02:12.789 --> 00:02:15.058
  • I started preaching in rescue missions, because god is not
  • 00:02:15.058 --> 00:02:18.828
  • Looking for ability, he's looking for availability.
  • 00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:22.165
  • Somebody said i'm praying for god to use me.
  • 00:02:22.165 --> 00:02:24.234
  • No, you just get usable, and god will wear you out,
  • 00:02:24.234 --> 00:02:27.403
  • Because god has no plan b.
  • 00:02:27.403 --> 00:02:29.839
  • We are the plan, there is no plan b.
  • 00:02:29.839 --> 00:02:32.942
  • So, i just started preaching, and my mother became
  • 00:02:32.942 --> 00:02:36.813
  • A christian, and she started dating a man.
  • 00:02:36.813 --> 00:02:39.782
  • Later she married him, he became my stepfather.
  • 00:02:39.782 --> 00:02:43.886
  • His name was don mason, and i'd had a stepfather who literally
  • 00:02:43.886 --> 00:02:48.358
  • Told me that i was ignorant.
  • 00:02:48.358 --> 00:02:50.693
  • I remember a time in my life when my mother--i had a sister
  • 00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:54.998
  • And a stepbrother and sister she took us all to
  • 00:02:54.998 --> 00:02:57.267
  • Murfreesboro, tennessee.
  • 00:02:57.267 --> 00:03:00.069
  • She said we were going to get physicals, three of the four
  • 00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:02.639
  • Were going to get physicals.
  • 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.973
  • I was going to get a mental evaluation, because i couldn't
  • 00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:06.542
  • Learn, couldn't retain.
  • 00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:08.845
  • Remember, i was told i was ignorant, i was told i was
  • 00:03:08.845 --> 00:03:10.880
  • Stupid, so i just couldn't learn.
  • 00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:13.616
  • So i got a new stepfather.
  • 00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:15.184
  • I was almost grown, and he said, "what are you gonna do with
  • 00:03:15.184 --> 00:03:18.021
  • Your life?"
  • 00:03:18.021 --> 00:03:19.389
  • And i said, "well, i'm working as a janitor.
  • 00:03:19.389 --> 00:03:20.723
  • I make $3.35 an hour, and i'm preaching.
  • 00:03:20.723 --> 00:03:24.394
  • I'm preaching at rescue missions."
  • 00:03:24.394 --> 00:03:26.763
  • He said, "i've heard you preach.
  • 00:03:26.763 --> 00:03:29.799
  • You need to get in bible college."
  • 00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:32.001
  • I said, "no, no."
  • 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:33.970
  • I said, "i barely got through school, i wasn't smart."
  • 00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:37.807
  • He said, "you're smart."
  • 00:03:37.807 --> 00:03:39.175
  • He said, "you enroll in bible college."
  • 00:03:39.175 --> 00:03:41.778
  • He said, "every degree that you complete, i'll pay for."
  • 00:03:41.778 --> 00:03:46.449
  • Only say this, randy, to give god the honor and the glory.
  • 00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:49.185
  • I went through an associate's degree, a bachelor's degree, a
  • 00:03:49.185 --> 00:03:51.688
  • Master's, and a doctorate.
  • 00:03:51.688 --> 00:03:55.458
  • And i've made nothing but straight a-s.
  • 00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:59.028
  • Let me tell you something, there's power in somebody
  • 00:03:59.028 --> 00:04:01.998
  • Believing in you.
  • 00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:03.666
  • There's power in somebody believing in you, and we need to
  • 00:04:03.666 --> 00:04:06.436
  • Believe in people before they accomplish anything.
  • 00:04:06.436 --> 00:04:09.505
  • Did you ever think about this?
  • 00:04:09.505 --> 00:04:10.840
  • God looked down from heaven, jesus was getting baptized, and
  • 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.211
  • He looks down from heaven and he says, "this is my beloved son in
  • 00:04:15.211 --> 00:04:20.950
  • Whom i'm well-pleased."
  • 00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:22.752
  • Now, wait, he had never healed anybody, he had never walked on
  • 00:04:22.752 --> 00:04:26.155
  • The water, he had never raised anybody from the dead, but he
  • 00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:30.059
  • Looked down, and i challenge fathers today, blynda, i would
  • 00:04:30.059 --> 00:04:33.963
  • Challenge, randy, one of the most powerful things that you
  • 00:04:33.963 --> 00:04:38.234
  • Can say to somebody, i'm proud of you.
  • 00:04:38.234 --> 00:04:41.204
  • And if we would let one another know we're proud of each other,
  • 00:04:41.204 --> 00:04:44.707
  • Maybe we wouldn't struggle with pride the way we do.
  • 00:04:44.707 --> 00:04:48.678
  • Just having somebody to believe in you, somebody to say you can
  • 00:04:48.678 --> 00:04:54.183
  • Do it, somebody to give you that push, just give you
  • 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:58.955
  • That encouragement.
  • 00:04:58.955 --> 00:05:00.289
  • The bible says but exhort one another daily, because we all
  • 00:05:00.289 --> 00:05:03.559
  • Need it.
  • 00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:04.894
  • Randy: yeah, i like your your southern use of the word pride,
  • 00:05:04.894 --> 00:05:08.264
  • Because what you mean is is affirmation.
  • 00:05:08.264 --> 00:05:10.833
  • Benny: it's exactly right.
  • 00:05:10.833 --> 00:05:12.168
  • Randy: acceptance, and you know, that's what god did with jesus
  • 00:05:12.168 --> 00:05:15.872
  • And that's what he does with us.
  • 00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:17.373
  • Benny: it's exactly right.
  • 00:05:17.373 --> 00:05:18.741
  • Blynda: but it almost feels like what you're saying, i've never
  • 00:05:18.741 --> 00:05:20.209
  • Thought of it this way, that maybe why man becomes so
  • 00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:22.378
  • Prideful in their own mind is because nobody's ever told them.
  • 00:05:22.378 --> 00:05:27.316
  • Randy: they're looking for it, that self-affirmation,
  • 00:05:27.316 --> 00:05:29.185
  • Too, yeah.
  • 00:05:29.185 --> 00:05:30.520
  • Benny: that's exactly right.
  • 00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:31.888
  • They desperately need it.
  • 00:05:31.888 --> 00:05:35.124
  • Look here, i preach on sunday morning, thousands of people
  • 00:05:35.124 --> 00:05:40.430
  • Will come out the door, but when my wife says to me, "benny, you
  • 00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:46.002
  • Did good," just makes me wanna charge hell with a water pistol.
  • 00:05:46.002 --> 00:05:51.240
  • I mean, he just, you know, and so, hey, hey, everybody responds
  • 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.945
  • To praises and raises, and, we all need affirmation.
  • 00:05:55.945 --> 00:06:00.683
  • Randy: alright, how did that lead to the book, "yes you can"?
  • 00:06:00.683 --> 00:06:03.653
  • Because that's affirmation in the title right there.
  • 00:06:03.653 --> 00:06:06.422
  • Benny: yes, it is.
  • 00:06:06.422 --> 00:06:07.757
  • I was studying the book of nehemiah, and i looked at
  • 00:06:07.757 --> 00:06:10.860
  • Nehemiah, and i realized, i thought, you know, he wasn't a
  • 00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:14.330
  • Prophet, he wasn't a priest, he was a cupbearer.
  • 00:06:14.330 --> 00:06:17.934
  • Actually what he would do, he would take the king's wine, if
  • 00:06:17.934 --> 00:06:22.738
  • There was poison in the wine, he would die rather than the king.
  • 00:06:22.738 --> 00:06:27.710
  • You know what it said to me, randy, it said that nehemiah the
  • 00:06:27.710 --> 00:06:31.247
  • Cupbearer was expendable.
  • 00:06:31.247 --> 00:06:33.983
  • He was expendable.
  • 00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:35.551
  • He was expendable to everybody but god.
  • 00:06:35.551 --> 00:06:39.388
  • And then i looked at this man who wasn't a prophet, he wasn't
  • 00:06:39.388 --> 00:06:42.325
  • A priest, and how in 52 days he did this great accomplishment.
  • 00:06:42.325 --> 00:06:47.029
  • They rebuilt the walls around the city of jerusalem, the walls
  • 00:06:47.029 --> 00:06:51.400
  • That are literally wide enough to drive an automobile on in
  • 00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:55.037
  • 52 days.
  • 00:06:55.037 --> 00:06:57.039
  • Fortune 500 companies today study the book of nehemiah,
  • 00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:01.043
  • Because there's so many steps to success there.
  • 00:07:01.043 --> 00:07:05.348
  • But i found five levels of leadership, something i'd never
  • 00:07:05.348 --> 00:07:08.684
  • Seen before.
  • 00:07:08.684 --> 00:07:10.019
  • First of all, when i looked at nehemiah, i saw
  • 00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:12.188
  • Inward leadership.
  • 00:07:12.188 --> 00:07:14.790
  • When nehemiah's brother told him what was going on back home,
  • 00:07:14.790 --> 00:07:18.094
  • Randy, in the city, the walls were down, for four months
  • 00:07:18.094 --> 00:07:22.698
  • Before he even addressed the persian king, he prayed
  • 00:07:22.698 --> 00:07:26.269
  • And fasted.
  • 00:07:26.269 --> 00:07:28.504
  • The word for inward leadership that i talk about in this book
  • 00:07:28.504 --> 00:07:31.841
  • Is discipline.
  • 00:07:31.841 --> 00:07:33.910
  • Discipline is the gift that we give ourselves.
  • 00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:37.847
  • What begins in your life, what begins by desire, has to be
  • 00:07:37.847 --> 00:07:42.385
  • Maintained by discipline.
  • 00:07:42.385 --> 00:07:45.154
  • Four months, he just prayed, and what i challenge people to do in
  • 00:07:45.154 --> 00:07:50.459
  • The book, the most difficult person i've been leading now for
  • 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:55.164
  • 45 years, the most difficult person i've ever led is benny
  • 00:07:55.164 --> 00:08:00.403
  • Tate, the most difficult person.
  • 00:08:00.403 --> 00:08:03.472
  • The person i've had the most trouble with is myself.
  • 00:08:03.472 --> 00:08:07.343
  • And i talk to people about inward leadership.
  • 00:08:07.343 --> 00:08:10.179
  • I believe a leader stands out in a crowd, because the leader has
  • 00:08:10.179 --> 00:08:15.618
  • Learned how to be alone without the crowd.
  • 00:08:15.618 --> 00:08:18.688
  • He's learned he's got inward leadership, right?
  • 00:08:18.688 --> 00:08:21.424
  • He's developing, he's growing inward.
  • 00:08:21.424 --> 00:08:24.226
  • Sometimes a leader will say to me, i've got 30 years of
  • 00:08:24.226 --> 00:08:27.063
  • Experience, but i'll spend time with him, he doesn't have 30
  • 00:08:27.063 --> 00:08:30.099
  • Years of experience, he's got 1 year of experience 30 times.
  • 00:08:30.099 --> 00:08:34.036
  • So the first level of leadership i start with, i start with that
  • 00:08:34.036 --> 00:08:37.907
  • Inward leadership, getting right with yourself.
  • 00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:42.345
  • Love thy neighbor as thyself.
  • 00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:44.580
  • We gotta get right with ourselves.
  • 00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:46.015
  • Blynda: because without it being right, you can't really move on
  • 00:08:46.015 --> 00:08:48.384
  • To the other levels.
  • 00:08:48.384 --> 00:08:50.386
  • Randy: do i have you right?
  • 00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:51.754
  • And when you say 4 months of prayer and then 52 days to
  • 00:08:51.754 --> 00:08:55.358
  • Accomplish, that's a better than 2 to 1 ratio of prayer time to
  • 00:08:55.358 --> 00:09:01.764
  • Go time.
  • 00:09:01.764 --> 00:09:03.132
  • Benny: that's exactly right.
  • 00:09:03.132 --> 00:09:04.467
  • Randy: do you know anybody-- i got that backwards, you know?
  • 00:09:04.467 --> 00:09:08.137
  • I mean, my prayer time to my due time, it's like i pray a little
  • 00:09:08.137 --> 00:09:11.407
  • And work a lot to get something done, and i think maybe what i'm
  • 00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:15.745
  • Hearing from you is that i got that a little bit on the
  • 00:09:15.745 --> 00:09:18.814
  • Wrong side.
  • 00:09:18.814 --> 00:09:20.182
  • Benny: randy, before pentecost, he told them to go to jerusalem
  • 00:09:20.182 --> 00:09:23.819
  • And wait for ten days, do nothing but pray, don't
  • 00:09:23.819 --> 00:09:28.524
  • Assimilate, no need of having strategic meetings, no need of
  • 00:09:28.524 --> 00:09:31.594
  • Having--just go and pray.
  • 00:09:31.594 --> 00:09:34.130
  • They went and they prayed for ten days.
  • 00:09:34.130 --> 00:09:36.799
  • They preached for 10 minutes and saw 3,000 saved.
  • 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.736
  • Randy: yeah, right?
  • 00:09:40.736 --> 00:09:42.104
  • Benny: what we're doing, we're preaching for ten days and
  • 00:09:42.104 --> 00:09:44.173
  • Praying for ten minutes and not seeing many people saved.
  • 00:09:44.173 --> 00:09:48.744
  • The average full-time christian worker in america spends four
  • 00:09:48.744 --> 00:09:52.415
  • Minutes a day in devotion time with god, four minutes a day.
  • 00:09:52.415 --> 00:09:58.054
  • And if god's not doing something in us, certainly he can't do
  • 00:09:58.054 --> 00:10:01.057
  • Something through us.
  • 00:10:01.057 --> 00:10:02.425
  • Randy: well, that's a good place to start.
  • 00:10:02.425 --> 00:10:03.926
  • Benny: it's a good place to start.
  • 00:10:03.926 --> 00:10:05.528
  • Blynda: so, okay, so thinking about more of the leadership
  • 00:10:05.528 --> 00:10:09.298
  • Qualities, because where i find a lot of interest is i'm married
  • 00:10:09.298 --> 00:10:14.070
  • To a really strong leader, so i look at him, and i think about
  • 00:10:14.070 --> 00:10:17.907
  • What leadership looks like.
  • 00:10:17.907 --> 00:10:19.608
  • When i reflect on myself, i don't always see strong leader.
  • 00:10:19.608 --> 00:10:24.547
  • I see somebody devoted to the lord, somebody who wants to lead
  • 00:10:24.547 --> 00:10:28.617
  • Their family, their children, but what would you say to the
  • 00:10:28.617 --> 00:10:31.487
  • Person who hasn't identified themselves as a strong leader?
  • 00:10:31.487 --> 00:10:36.325
  • Would you still say everyone is a leader?
  • 00:10:36.325 --> 00:10:38.928
  • Benny: yes, and i would take them to the second level
  • 00:10:38.928 --> 00:10:41.764
  • Of leadership.
  • 00:10:41.764 --> 00:10:43.099
  • The second level of leadership is lateral leadership.
  • 00:10:43.099 --> 00:10:47.136
  • You say, well, pastor benny, in the organizational chart,
  • 00:10:47.136 --> 00:10:50.206
  • I'm not high, i'm low in the organizational chart.
  • 00:10:50.206 --> 00:10:54.110
  • Or maybe we have a lateral positions, we're the same in the
  • 00:10:54.110 --> 00:10:58.347
  • Organization, what is the word there?
  • 00:10:58.347 --> 00:11:00.716
  • The word there is serve.
  • 00:11:00.716 --> 00:11:03.018
  • What i would say to our listeners today, if you say i'm
  • 00:11:03.018 --> 00:11:05.921
  • Not this strong leader, but i wanna have influence, here's
  • 00:11:05.921 --> 00:11:09.425
  • What i would challenge you to do.
  • 00:11:09.425 --> 00:11:11.127
  • In your organization, you start serving.
  • 00:11:11.127 --> 00:11:14.530
  • You just start serving, because always remember if serving is
  • 00:11:14.530 --> 00:11:18.367
  • Beneath you, leading will always be above you.
  • 00:11:18.367 --> 00:11:21.637
  • If you just start serving, before long, what's going to
  • 00:11:21.637 --> 00:11:25.307
  • Happen, people are gonna say you can depend on blynda.
  • 00:11:25.307 --> 00:11:29.912
  • Well, blynda's there when the going gets hard.
  • 00:11:29.912 --> 00:11:32.815
  • Boy, when there's a task to do, blynda's there.
  • 00:11:32.815 --> 00:11:36.719
  • When we're going through a difficult time, she shows up.
  • 00:11:36.719 --> 00:11:40.422
  • And see, it's lateral leadership.
  • 00:11:40.422 --> 00:11:44.093
  • God showed me something in the upper room.
  • 00:11:44.093 --> 00:11:46.695
  • I was in the upper room, and i started thinking about this is
  • 00:11:46.695 --> 00:11:50.166
  • Where jesus came in, and he took a basin and towel and washed the
  • 00:11:50.166 --> 00:11:53.502
  • Disciples' feet, and then i realized all 12 of those walked
  • 00:11:53.502 --> 00:11:57.239
  • Past the basins and towels.
  • 00:11:57.239 --> 00:12:00.476
  • And it was like god said to me, yes, because the world today is
  • 00:12:00.476 --> 00:12:04.580
  • Into titles, but jesus was into towels, and he said to me,
  • 00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:09.919
  • Blynda and randy, there's basins and towels in every
  • 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.423
  • Relationship, you've just got to look for them.
  • 00:12:14.423 --> 00:12:17.927
  • So, so how do you lead laterally?
  • 00:12:17.927 --> 00:12:20.663
  • You lead laterally through serving other people.
  • 00:12:20.663 --> 00:12:24.700
  • Jesus said let the greatest among you be your servant, and
  • 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:28.804
  • Martin luther king jr. said any man or woman can be great,
  • 00:12:28.804 --> 00:12:32.975
  • Because any man or woman can serve.
  • 00:12:32.975 --> 00:12:37.046
  • Randy: that's not where most of us start when we want to be
  • 00:12:37.046 --> 00:12:40.249
  • Leaders, but that's the biblical way.
  • 00:12:40.249 --> 00:12:43.953
  • There's just no way around it.
  • 00:12:43.953 --> 00:12:46.255
  • So what do you do?
  • 00:12:46.255 --> 00:12:47.923
  • I know a lot of good people who have done their best to be
  • 00:12:47.923 --> 00:12:52.194
  • Servant leaders, they've tried to cultivate, you know, the
  • 00:12:52.194 --> 00:12:56.665
  • Things in their lives that scripture tells us to cultivate,
  • 00:12:56.665 --> 00:13:02.037
  • And then something comes along and life just hits 'em hard.
  • 00:13:02.037 --> 00:13:07.309
  • You know, we talked about in the last program, you wanted to have
  • 00:13:07.309 --> 00:13:11.180
  • Children, never were able to, you know, you expect
  • 00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:14.783
  • That miracle.
  • 00:13:14.783 --> 00:13:16.151
  • I have a license plate frame that says expect a miracle,
  • 00:13:16.151 --> 00:13:20.122
  • Because that was, you know, oral roberts university, expect a
  • 00:13:20.122 --> 00:13:23.158
  • Miracle, and i believe in that posture, but i've also lost a
  • 00:13:23.158 --> 00:13:26.862
  • Sister to cancer.
  • 00:13:26.862 --> 00:13:28.364
  • I've seen other disappointments, and i know people have been
  • 00:13:28.364 --> 00:13:31.066
  • Through hard times.
  • 00:13:31.066 --> 00:13:33.369
  • What do you say to that person that's hitting that wall and
  • 00:13:33.369 --> 00:13:36.739
  • Life is just hard, and they're feeling a little
  • 00:13:36.739 --> 00:13:38.474
  • Bit discouraged?
  • 00:13:38.474 --> 00:13:40.376
  • What i would say to that person is god still has a plan for
  • 00:13:40.376 --> 00:13:45.581
  • Your life.
  • 00:13:45.581 --> 00:13:46.949
  • God still has a purpose.
  • 00:13:46.949 --> 00:13:48.784
  • I think many times we forget.
  • 00:13:48.784 --> 00:13:51.887
  • Paul becomes a christian, and in acts chapter 9 verses 14, the
  • 00:13:51.887 --> 00:13:58.394
  • Bible says this, it says--jesus said this, he said paul is a
  • 00:13:58.394 --> 00:14:02.932
  • Chosen vessel.
  • 00:14:02.932 --> 00:14:04.767
  • He's a chosen vessel.
  • 00:14:04.767 --> 00:14:06.302
  • What a high honor.
  • 00:14:06.302 --> 00:14:08.103
  • He said he's a chosen vessel to bear my name unto the gentiles,
  • 00:14:08.103 --> 00:14:13.876
  • Unto kings, unto the children of israel.
  • 00:14:13.876 --> 00:14:17.613
  • And then verse 15 says, "for i will show him the many things
  • 00:14:17.613 --> 00:14:24.787
  • That he must suffer for my name's sake."
  • 00:14:24.787 --> 00:14:28.157
  • This is what i've learned, randy, about life.
  • 00:14:28.157 --> 00:14:31.593
  • And randy, i know what it is to walk through difficult times.
  • 00:14:31.593 --> 00:14:37.499
  • I've had great pain.
  • 00:14:37.499 --> 00:14:40.636
  • I can say to our listeners today, i want them to know i
  • 00:14:40.636 --> 00:14:45.941
  • Identify with great pain.
  • 00:14:45.941 --> 00:14:48.477
  • A.w. tozer said, "i doubt that god can bless a man or woman
  • 00:14:48.477 --> 00:14:53.315
  • Greatly until he first hurts them deeply."
  • 00:14:53.315 --> 00:14:57.319
  • And here's what i would say even to that preacher, that pastor,
  • 00:14:57.319 --> 00:15:00.456
  • That christian worker that's struggling, the greater the
  • 00:15:00.456 --> 00:15:04.560
  • Struggle, the greater the anointing.
  • 00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:08.464
  • John the baptist, jesus said there was not a greater than he.
  • 00:15:08.464 --> 00:15:15.371
  • There's not a greater than he.
  • 00:15:15.371 --> 00:15:17.806
  • But john got thrown in prison, and blynda, he started saying,
  • 00:15:17.806 --> 00:15:23.846
  • "is he really the christ?
  • 00:15:23.846 --> 00:15:27.216
  • Or should we look for another?"
  • 00:15:27.216 --> 00:15:30.652
  • And jesus sent word to him, "john, blessed is he that's not
  • 00:15:30.652 --> 00:15:35.457
  • Offended in me."
  • 00:15:35.457 --> 00:15:37.826
  • That you're just going to trust me.
  • 00:15:37.826 --> 00:15:40.662
  • You're gonna trust me though things are hard.
  • 00:15:40.662 --> 00:15:44.099
  • Though things are difficult, you're gonna trust me.
  • 00:15:44.099 --> 00:15:47.636
  • And so i would say to the listeners today, randy, things
  • 00:15:47.636 --> 00:15:52.141
  • Don't come to stay, things come to pass.
  • 00:15:52.141 --> 00:15:56.912
  • You know, randy, i thought about those shadrach, meshach,
  • 00:15:56.912 --> 00:16:00.749
  • And abednego.
  • 00:16:00.749 --> 00:16:03.318
  • You say, somebody says, well, why didn't god deliver them out
  • 00:16:03.318 --> 00:16:06.922
  • Of the fire?
  • 00:16:06.922 --> 00:16:08.757
  • He delivered them in the fire.
  • 00:16:08.757 --> 00:16:11.994
  • Randy, i read that scripture that king looked down, and you
  • 00:16:11.994 --> 00:16:16.098
  • Know the story, they came out of the fire, their clothes are not
  • 00:16:16.098 --> 00:16:18.700
  • Even smelling like smoke.
  • 00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:20.035
  • Well, you can't even go in the waffle house and that
  • 00:16:20.035 --> 00:16:22.438
  • Happen, amen?
  • 00:16:22.438 --> 00:16:23.872
  • They come out there, and the king looks down in the fire, and
  • 00:16:23.872 --> 00:16:27.743
  • He said, "i thought we cast three men, i see a fourth one."
  • 00:16:27.743 --> 00:16:31.814
  • I see a fourth one.
  • 00:16:31.814 --> 00:16:33.182
  • Now, you know, randy, read the scripture close.
  • 00:16:33.182 --> 00:16:35.884
  • It never says that the three hebrews saw the fourth man.
  • 00:16:35.884 --> 00:16:40.622
  • It never says, read it closely.
  • 00:16:40.622 --> 00:16:42.357
  • It never says they saw the fourth man.
  • 00:16:42.357 --> 00:16:45.227
  • But the fourth man was with them, and today there may be
  • 00:16:45.227 --> 00:16:48.230
  • Some people that feel like god's a million miles away, but i want
  • 00:16:48.230 --> 00:16:52.301
  • Them to know god's with you, because god's not a feeling,
  • 00:16:52.301 --> 00:16:55.504
  • God's a fact.
  • 00:16:55.504 --> 00:16:56.839
  • Maybe we have to walk through difficult times.
  • 00:16:56.839 --> 00:17:00.275
  • Maybe even today, blynda, i'm walking through a very difficult
  • 00:17:00.275 --> 00:17:03.912
  • Time, because god wants to show somebody the fourth man, and how
  • 00:17:03.912 --> 00:17:10.085
  • I respond really does make a difference.
  • 00:17:10.085 --> 00:17:12.554
  • Randy: and how you go into it, you know?
  • 00:17:12.554 --> 00:17:14.857
  • Because you know what they said, our god can deliver us, we
  • 00:17:14.857 --> 00:17:17.559
  • Believe he will, but even if he doesn't, it's whatever happens,
  • 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.964
  • I know where my faith is, because they knew that that
  • 00:17:21.964 --> 00:17:25.634
  • Wasn't the end.
  • 00:17:25.634 --> 00:17:26.969
  • You know, someone talked to me about why did jesus have to
  • 00:17:26.969 --> 00:17:29.738
  • Suffer so brutally on a cross and then die?
  • 00:17:29.738 --> 00:17:33.809
  • And i said, you know, there's a lot of great theological
  • 00:17:33.809 --> 00:17:36.311
  • Answers, but for me i go, you know what?
  • 00:17:36.311 --> 00:17:38.514
  • I think jesus was saying two things, i understand
  • 00:17:38.514 --> 00:17:42.151
  • Suffering, okay?
  • 00:17:42.151 --> 00:17:44.153
  • I'm there, i'll walk through you with it, and then your greatest
  • 00:17:44.153 --> 00:17:47.789
  • Fear, which is death, watch me conquer it.
  • 00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:50.859
  • Benny: amen. randy: it's not the end.
  • 00:17:50.859 --> 00:17:52.394
  • Blynda: it's not the end. benny: amen.
  • 00:17:52.394 --> 00:17:54.730
  • Randy: yeah, so i'm with you.
  • 00:17:54.730 --> 00:17:56.098
  • Blynda: but it's hard sometimes in that practical
  • 00:17:56.098 --> 00:17:57.799
  • To walk out that trust.
  • 00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.835
  • Do you have a final encouragement to the viewer
  • 00:17:59.835 --> 00:18:02.638
  • About how to walk out that trust, that surrender when they
  • 00:18:02.638 --> 00:18:05.807
  • Really find themselves questioning how are they in this
  • 00:18:05.807 --> 00:18:09.545
  • Place when god feels so distant?
  • 00:18:09.545 --> 00:18:12.147
  • Benny: what i would say to them, i would say to them god's word,
  • 00:18:12.147 --> 00:18:17.819
  • I would say trust the promises of god.
  • 00:18:17.819 --> 00:18:21.323
  • I would say to our listeners, blynda, we don't live our lives
  • 00:18:21.323 --> 00:18:24.826
  • Based on explanations, we live our lives based on the promises
  • 00:18:24.826 --> 00:18:29.164
  • Of god.
  • 00:18:29.164 --> 00:18:30.532
  • So you cling to those promises, you cling to the promise that
  • 00:18:30.532 --> 00:18:35.304

  • 00:18:35.304 --> 00:18:39.041

  • I've gone to sleep at night holding my bible, just leaning
  • 00:18:53.855 --> 00:18:57.926
  • Into the promises of god, because you can't
  • 00:18:57.926 --> 00:19:00.495
  • Always explain.

  • Proverbs, it's if you're generous to the poor, you lend
  • 00:19:22.217 --> 00:19:25.787

  • Financial, it's probably ways that money can't even buy, but
  • 00:19:32.194 --> 00:19:35.964

  • Born with physical disabilities, their days are filled with pain,
  • 00:20:13.368 --> 00:20:17.706
  • Limitation, and silence, not because they lack courage, it's
  • 00:20:17.706 --> 00:20:22.411
