  • 17,000 and 30,000. i figured somewhere
  • 00:05:06.092 --> 00:05:06.793
  • I figured somewhere in the average is 24,000.
  • 00:05:06.859 --> 00:05:11.497
  • In the average is 24,000. so look at me children of zion,
  • 00:05:11.564 --> 00:05:14.200
  • So look at me children of zion, if 24 hours is too much
  • 00:05:14.267 --> 00:05:15.468

  • In a day that god gave us and not recognize it as a gift.
  • 00:05:50.870 --> 00:05:54.774

  • I'm going deeper next week because the lord is really
  • 00:07:39.679 --> 00:07:40.646
  • Because the lord is really using this to penetrate
  • 00:07:40.713 --> 00:07:42.148
  • Using this to penetrate somebody's worry,
  • 00:07:42.215 --> 00:07:43.349

  • You need daily time in the presence of god.
  • 00:07:56.095 --> 00:07:58.197
  • In the presence of god. clap your hands about it.
  • 00:07:58.264 --> 00:07:59.098
  • [applause]
  • 00:07:59.365 --> 00:08:02.168
  • Yeah.
  • 00:08:02.568 --> 00:08:03.302
  • [applause]
  • 00:08:03.636 --> 00:08:05.137
  • Yeah, yeah.
  • 00:08:05.771 --> 00:08:08.407
  • Yeah, yeah. so, we recognize these moments
  • 00:08:08.474 --> 00:08:10.476
  • So, we recognize these moments when we're in them and we say,
  • 00:08:10.543 --> 00:08:11.844
  • When we're in them and we say, "wait, this is that day."
  • 00:08:11.911 --> 00:08:14.013
  • "wait, this is that day." now, it's hard to know it
  • 00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:15.281
  • Now, it's hard to know it when you're in
  • 00:08:15.348 --> 00:08:16.048
  • When you're in so that's why the fourth thing
  • 00:08:16.115 --> 00:08:17.216
  • So that's why the fourth thing i wanna give you is to get
  • 00:08:17.283 --> 00:08:19.385
  • I wanna give you is to get you to reframe it.
  • 00:08:19.452 --> 00:08:23.422
  • You to reframe it. look at verse 6.
  • 00:08:23.489 --> 00:08:25.391
  • Look at verse 6. i think this one was
  • 00:08:25.458 --> 00:08:25.992
  • I think this one was the one that spoke to me
  • 00:08:26.058 --> 00:08:28.027
  • The one that spoke to me the most of all of them
  • 00:08:28.094 --> 00:08:29.896
  • The most of all of them because it sounds like
  • 00:08:29.962 --> 00:08:30.930
  • Because it sounds like god is talking about
  • 00:08:30.997 --> 00:08:31.831
  • God is talking about two different people
  • 00:08:31.898 --> 00:08:33.566
  • Two different people and two different processes.
  • 00:08:33.633 --> 00:08:35.735
  • And two different processes. thank you jesus.
  • 00:08:35.801 --> 00:08:36.903
  • Thank you jesus. it sounds like he's talking
  • 00:08:36.969 --> 00:08:37.904
  • It sounds like he's talking about two different people
  • 00:08:37.970 --> 00:08:39.605
  • About two different people and two different processes,
  • 00:08:39.672 --> 00:08:41.574
  • And two different processes, he says, "in days to come."
  • 00:08:41.641 --> 00:08:44.043
  • He says, "in days to come." now we've gone from one day
  • 00:08:44.110 --> 00:08:46.679
  • Now we've gone from one day to multiple days,
  • 00:08:46.746 --> 00:08:48.514
  • To multiple days, from the present circumstance
  • 00:08:48.581 --> 00:08:50.716
  • From the present circumstance to the future promise.
  • 00:08:50.783 --> 00:08:52.785
  • To the future promise. "in days to come
  • 00:08:52.852 --> 00:08:54.720
  • "in days to come jacob will take root,
  • 00:08:54.787 --> 00:08:57.723
  • Jacob will take root, israel will bud and blossom
  • 00:08:57.790 --> 00:08:59.392
  • Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world
  • 00:08:59.458 --> 00:09:00.126
  • And fill all the world with fruit."
  • 00:09:00.192 --> 00:09:00.459
  • With fruit." now, he's talking
  • 00:09:00.526 --> 00:09:00.860
  • Now, he's talking about the nation of israel
  • 00:09:00.927 --> 00:09:02.662
  • About the nation of israel from whom the messiah came
  • 00:09:02.728 --> 00:09:03.930
  • From whom the messiah came that blessed the whole world
  • 00:09:03.996 --> 00:09:05.231
  • That blessed the whole world and took the gospel
  • 00:09:05.298 --> 00:09:06.265
  • And took the gospel even to the gentiles.
  • 00:09:06.332 --> 00:09:07.433
  • Even to the gentiles. that's what he's talking about,
  • 00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:08.401
  • That's what he's talking about, he's talking about jesus.
  • 00:09:08.467 --> 00:09:11.137
  • He's talking about jesus. but watch the application,
  • 00:09:11.203 --> 00:09:12.405
  • But watch the application, he says, "jacob will take root,
  • 00:09:12.471 --> 00:09:16.642
  • He says, "jacob will take root, israel will bud and blossom."
  • 00:09:16.709 --> 00:09:20.580
  • Israel will bud and blossom." and you know what i'm learning
  • 00:09:20.646 --> 00:09:21.414
  • And you know what i'm learning more and more about
  • 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.449
  • More and more about these years, and season,
  • 00:09:23.516 --> 00:09:24.450
  • These years, and season, and paths that god gives us?
  • 00:09:24.517 --> 00:09:28.821
  • And paths that god gives us? is that you're gonna have
  • 00:09:28.888 --> 00:09:30.690
  • Is that you're gonna have both of those kinds of days
  • 00:09:30.756 --> 00:09:33.526
  • Both of those kinds of days and you are gonna feel
  • 00:09:33.593 --> 00:09:34.594
  • And you are gonna feel like both of those people.
  • 00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:36.028
  • Like both of those people. see, jacob and israel
  • 00:09:36.095 --> 00:09:38.631
  • See, jacob and israel are not two different people.
  • 00:09:38.698 --> 00:09:41.500
  • Are not two different people. in the bible, a man named jacob
  • 00:09:41.567 --> 00:09:44.470
  • In the bible, a man named jacob became the father of
  • 00:09:44.537 --> 00:09:45.705
  • Became the father of the tribes that would be
  • 00:09:45.771 --> 00:09:46.806
  • The tribes that would be the nation of israel,
  • 00:09:46.872 --> 00:09:48.808
  • The nation of israel, and when god changed jacob,
  • 00:09:48.874 --> 00:09:51.577
  • And when god changed jacob, he changed his name.
  • 00:09:51.644 --> 00:09:53.746
  • He changed his name. he said, "you use
  • 00:09:53.813 --> 00:09:54.313
  • He said, "you use to be called jacob,
  • 00:09:54.380 --> 00:09:56.816
  • To be called jacob, but now your name is israel.
  • 00:09:56.882 --> 00:09:59.852
  • But now your name is israel. jacob means deceiver,
  • 00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:02.154
  • Jacob means deceiver, that's who jacob was.
  • 00:10:02.221 --> 00:10:04.357
  • That's who jacob was. israel means prince with god,
  • 00:10:04.423 --> 00:10:07.893
  • Israel means prince with god, because he struggled with god
  • 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.096
  • Because he struggled with god and with men and overcame.
  • 00:10:10.162 --> 00:10:13.499
  • And with men and overcame. is that not a picture of what
  • 00:10:13.566 --> 00:10:16.035
  • Is that not a picture of what it feels like to be you
  • 00:10:16.102 --> 00:10:17.803
  • It feels like to be you in any one given day?
  • 00:10:17.870 --> 00:10:21.207
  • In any one given day? doesn't it depend
  • 00:10:21.273 --> 00:10:22.441
  • Doesn't it depend what somebody thinks of you
  • 00:10:22.508 --> 00:10:23.743
  • What somebody thinks of you on what day they meet you on?
  • 00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:27.079
  • On what day they meet you on? how many of you have jacob
  • 00:10:27.146 --> 00:10:28.714
  • How many of you have jacob days that still happen
  • 00:10:28.781 --> 00:10:29.849
  • Days that still happen in your life?
  • 00:10:29.915 --> 00:10:31.951
  • In your life? is there one honest person
  • 00:10:32.018 --> 00:10:34.286
  • Is there one honest person in the whole church?
  • 00:10:34.353 --> 00:10:35.087
  • In the whole church? i need to zip up my jacket,
  • 00:10:35.154 --> 00:10:36.389
  • I need to zip up my jacket, i feel exposed with
  • 00:10:36.455 --> 00:10:37.490
  • I feel exposed with all a you fake people.
  • 00:10:37.556 --> 00:10:38.858
  • [laughter]
  • 00:10:39.125 --> 00:10:39.558
  • Have you ever had an israel
  • 00:10:39.692 --> 00:10:41.260
  • Have you ever had an israel calling but a jacob day?
  • 00:10:41.327 --> 00:10:42.762
  • [cheering]
  • 00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:45.698
  • Where it just feels like
  • 00:10:45.898 --> 00:10:46.565
  • Where it just feels like a total flashback,
  • 00:10:46.632 --> 00:10:48.934
  • A total flashback, a total relapse,
  • 00:10:49.001 --> 00:10:51.170
