  • So, which spread am i preaching about today?
  • 00:11:55.267 --> 00:11:58.037
  • Preaching about today? the problem that you could
  • 00:11:58.104 --> 00:12:00.506
  • The problem that you could spread out before god,
  • 00:12:00.573 --> 00:12:04.276
  • Spread out before god, or the promise that
  • 00:12:04.343 --> 00:12:06.779

  • 00:12:06.846 --> 00:12:12.418
  • He has spread over you? and which one will you focus on
  • 00:12:12.485 --> 00:12:15.187
  • And which one will you focus on in this moment of your life?
  • 00:12:15.254 --> 00:12:20.426
  • In this moment of your life? when hezekiah read the letter,
  • 00:12:20.493 --> 00:12:22.995
  • When hezekiah read the letter, he read it once,
  • 00:12:23.062 --> 00:12:24.296
  • He read it once, he confronted the issue,
  • 00:12:24.363 --> 00:12:26.232
  • He confronted the issue, he spread it --
  • 00:12:26.298 --> 00:12:27.800
  • He read it and he spread it.
  • 00:12:27.900 --> 00:12:31.704
  • He read it and he spread it. and as he did,
  • 00:12:31.771 --> 00:12:33.305
  • And as he did, look at me, church,
  • 00:12:33.372 --> 00:12:34.774
  • Look at me, church, god was already spread over him.
  • 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:41.380
  • God was already spread over him. but you don't see that when
  • 00:12:41.447 --> 00:12:42.248
  • But you don't see that when you're just right here.
  • 00:12:42.314 --> 00:12:46.018
  • You know, they tell us
  • 00:12:46.118 --> 00:12:46.752
  • You know, they tell us all of this horrible stuff
  • 00:12:46.819 --> 00:12:47.820
  • All of this horrible stuff about what's gonna happen
  • 00:12:47.887 --> 00:12:49.321
  • About what's gonna happen to our kids these days
  • 00:12:49.388 --> 00:12:50.589
  • To our kids these days and how there's no more
  • 00:12:50.656 --> 00:12:51.891
  • And how there's no more hope for this generation
  • 00:12:51.957 --> 00:12:53.192
  • Hope for this generation and the world.
  • 00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:53.993

  • Yeah, the odds are against us,
  • 00:13:19.885 --> 00:13:20.586
  • Are against us, but god said,
  • 00:13:20.653 --> 00:13:21.720
  • But god said, "if you'll seek me,

  • But if you be grateful to me, i'll cover the spread.
  • 00:13:35.167 --> 00:13:37.503
  • I'll cover the spread. i see the distance between who

  • I see the distance between who you are and who you want to be,
  • 00:13:39.839 --> 00:13:42.641
  • You are and who you want to be, but if you'll let my grace in,

  • But if you'll let my grace in, i sent my son for you,

  • The spread." [applause]
  • 00:13:51.016 --> 00:13:55.621
  • [applause] and then, just like god
  • 00:13:55.688 --> 00:13:56.355
  • And then, just like god to give us a term from vegas
  • 00:13:56.422 --> 00:14:01.727
  • To give us a term from vegas and use it as a heavenly vision.
  • 00:14:01.794 --> 00:14:05.731
  • And use it as a heavenly vision. i know the odds are against you
  • 00:14:05.798 --> 00:14:07.166
  • I know the odds are against you right now and i know that
  • 00:14:07.233 --> 00:14:08.167
  • Right now and i know that it feels like it's
  • 00:14:08.234 --> 00:14:09.134
  • It feels like it's very impossible for you
  • 00:14:09.201 --> 00:14:10.035
  • Very impossible for you to make progress
  • 00:14:10.102 --> 00:14:10.870
  • To make progress in this area, i get it.
  • 00:14:10.936 --> 00:14:13.772
  • In this area, i get it. but to spread it before
  • 00:14:13.839 --> 00:14:15.875
  • But to spread it before the lord and to say,
  • 00:14:15.941 --> 00:14:17.009
  • The lord and to say, "lord, you're seated
  • 00:14:17.076 --> 00:14:19.778
  • "lord, you're seated above all of this."
  • 00:14:19.845 --> 00:14:23.015
  • Above all of this." this is not abstract, y'all.
  • 00:14:23.082 --> 00:14:25.251
  • This is not abstract, y'all. you can do this
  • 00:14:25.317 --> 00:14:25.885
  • You can do this as a daily practice,
  • 00:14:25.951 --> 00:14:27.052
  • As a daily practice, and i want you to.
  • 00:14:27.119 --> 00:14:27.653
  • And i want you to. i want you to take
  • 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:28.320
  • I want you to take that problem,
  • 00:14:28.387 --> 00:14:30.222
  • That problem, that persistent one
  • 00:14:30.289 --> 00:14:31.323
  • That persistent one that has become
  • 00:14:31.390 --> 00:14:32.091
  • That has become personal, pervasive,
  • 00:14:32.157 --> 00:14:34.193
  • Personal, pervasive, and you think it's permanent,
  • 00:14:34.260 --> 00:14:35.928
  • And you think it's permanent, and i want you to get
  • 00:14:35.995 --> 00:14:36.662
  • And i want you to get a vision now --
  • 00:14:36.729 --> 00:14:37.696
  • A vision now -- i'm speaking to you
  • 00:14:37.763 --> 00:14:38.330
  • I'm speaking to you by the spirit of god.
  • 00:14:38.397 --> 00:14:39.231
  • By the spirit of god. this is not coming from
  • 00:14:39.298 --> 00:14:40.332
  • This is not coming from my head right now,
  • 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.433
  • My head right now, this is from god's heart
  • 00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:43.802
  • This is from god's heart through my mouth for you.
  • 00:14:43.869 --> 00:14:45.304
  • Through my mouth for you. he said, "i want you
  • 00:14:45.371 --> 00:14:46.472
  • He said, "i want you to spread it before me."
  • 00:14:46.538 --> 00:14:50.976
  • To spread it before me." maybe if the apostle paul
  • 00:14:51.043 --> 00:14:51.944
  • Maybe if the apostle paul could join in, he'd say,
  • 00:14:52.011 --> 00:14:54.013
  • Could join in, he'd say, "do not be anxious
  • 00:14:54.079 --> 00:14:57.516
  • "do not be anxious about anything,
  • 00:14:57.583 --> 00:14:59.518
  • About anything, but in every situation,"
  • 00:14:59.585 --> 00:15:00.819
  • But in every situation," philippians 4:6,
  • 00:15:00.886 --> 00:15:03.389
  • Philippians 4:6, let's teach this.
  • 00:15:03.455 --> 00:15:04.757
  • Let's teach this. "by prayer and petition,
  • 00:15:04.823 --> 00:15:07.459
  • "by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
  • 00:15:07.526 --> 00:15:10.729
  • With thanksgiving, present your requests to god."
  • 00:15:10.796 --> 00:15:14.333
  • Present your requests to god." and that's what hezekiah did.
  • 00:15:14.400 --> 00:15:17.102
  • And that's what hezekiah did. he spread it before god,
  • 00:15:17.169 --> 00:15:18.938
  • He spread it before god, so that he wouldn't
  • 00:15:19.004 --> 00:15:19.538
  • So that he wouldn't spread it to the rest
  • 00:15:19.605 --> 00:15:20.806
  • Spread it to the rest of the nation so that fear
  • 00:15:20.873 --> 00:15:22.541
  • Of the nation so that fear wouldn't spread and get
  • 00:15:22.608 --> 00:15:23.876
  • Wouldn't spread and get the best of his heart.
  • 00:15:23.943 --> 00:15:25.444
  • The best of his heart. that's what he did.
  • 00:15:25.511 --> 00:15:26.645
  • That's what he did. that's what we do.
  • 00:15:26.712 --> 00:15:29.949
  • That's what we do. you turn your problem into
  • 00:15:30.015 --> 00:15:32.318
  • You turn your problem into a petition, and you ask god,
  • 00:15:32.384 --> 00:15:36.555
  • A petition, and you ask god, "what do i do about this?"
  • 00:15:36.622 --> 00:15:38.624
  • "what do i do about this?" and when he shows you,
  • 00:15:38.691 --> 00:15:40.225
  • And when he shows you, even if he only
  • 00:15:40.292 --> 00:15:40.859
  • Even if he only shows you a little bit,
  • 00:15:40.926 --> 00:15:42.161
  • Shows you a little bit, you do that and you leave
  • 00:15:42.227 --> 00:15:43.762
  • You do that and you leave the rest to the angels
  • 00:15:43.829 --> 00:15:45.297
  • The rest to the angels 'cause they've got you.
  • 00:15:45.364 --> 00:15:46.098

  • I'm covered. just this week i was having one
  • 00:16:14.093 --> 00:16:15.594
  • Just this week i was having one of these attacks, you know?
  • 00:16:15.661 --> 00:16:16.762
  • Of these attacks, you know? just get these thoughts
  • 00:16:16.829 --> 00:16:17.730
  • Just get these thoughts from the enemy, right?
  • 00:16:17.796 --> 00:16:19.131
  • From the enemy, right? and it was really my ego,
  • 00:16:19.198 --> 00:16:20.966
  • And it was really my ego, but at the time i felt like,
  • 00:16:21.033 --> 00:16:21.834
  • But at the time i felt like, "man, what just happened?
  • 00:16:21.900 --> 00:16:22.868
  • "man, what just happened? that was very offensive."
  • 00:16:22.935 --> 00:16:24.703
  • That was very offensive." and i was very
  • 00:16:24.770 --> 00:16:25.437
  • And i was very self-righteous about it.
  • 00:16:25.504 --> 00:16:27.940
  • And holly asked me about it
  • 00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:29.074
  • And holly asked me about it cause we didn't get to talk
  • 00:16:29.141 --> 00:16:30.075
  • Cause we didn't get to talk 'cause it happened --
  • 00:16:30.142 --> 00:16:31.043
  • 'cause it happened -- it wasn't a big thing.
  • 00:16:31.110 --> 00:16:31.844
  • It wasn't a big thing. if i told you what it was,
  • 00:16:31.910 --> 00:16:32.845
  • If i told you what it was, it would just waste time
  • 00:16:32.911 --> 00:16:33.779
  • It would just waste time that's why i'm not telling you
  • 00:16:33.846 --> 00:16:35.280
  • That's why i'm not telling you 'cause it wasn't that big,
  • 00:16:35.347 --> 00:16:35.948
  • 'cause it wasn't that big, but it felt big in the moment,
  • 00:16:36.015 --> 00:16:37.182
  • But it felt big in the moment, you know what i mean?
  • 00:16:37.249 --> 00:16:38.584
  • You know what i mean? and so, some little thing
  • 00:16:38.650 --> 00:16:39.518
  • And so, some little thing happened to me, and it became
  • 00:16:39.585 --> 00:16:41.453
  • Happened to me, and it became this whole thing in my heart.
  • 00:16:41.520 --> 00:16:42.688
  • Like, it triggered this
  • 00:16:42.788 --> 00:16:43.655
  • Like, it triggered this old insecurity.
  • 00:16:43.722 --> 00:16:44.757
  • Old insecurity. i didn't even know
  • 00:16:44.823 --> 00:16:45.424
  • I didn't even know what was happening.
  • 00:16:45.491 --> 00:16:46.291
  • What was happening. "dang, why am i so mad
  • 00:16:46.358 --> 00:16:47.493
  • "dang, why am i so mad about that?"
  • 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.061
  • About that?" and when we got done,
  • 00:16:49.128 --> 00:16:49.762
  • And when we got done, she goes, "how'd you feel
  • 00:16:49.828 --> 00:16:51.330
  • She goes, "how'd you feel about that what happened?"
  • 00:16:51.397 --> 00:16:52.898
  • About that what happened?" and i started to talk about it,
  • 00:16:52.965 --> 00:16:55.534
  • And i started to talk about it, but i realized if i said what
  • 00:16:55.601 --> 00:16:57.169
  • But i realized if i said what i felt in that moment,
  • 00:16:57.236 --> 00:17:00.272
  • I felt in that moment, i would spread it.
  • 00:17:00.339 --> 00:17:03.242
  • I would spread it. i wasn't ready
  • 00:17:03.308 --> 00:17:05.144
  • I wasn't ready to talk about it yet.
  • 00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:07.446
  • To talk about it yet. the next morning i woke up,
  • 00:17:07.513 --> 00:17:08.614
  • The next morning i woke up, i was still thinking about it.
  • 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:10.115
  • I was still thinking about it. i couldn't stop thinking
  • 00:17:10.182 --> 00:17:11.050
  • I couldn't stop thinking about it.
