A little different, but i promise that these

If it happened while i was praying,
00:01:17.696 --> 00:01:20.532
While i was praying, if every prayer i prayed
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.234
If every prayer i prayed came true while i was praying,
00:01:22.301 --> 00:01:23.402
Came true while i was praying, i'd be praying all the time.
00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:26.171
I'd be praying all the time. yeah, i'd wake up
00:01:26.238 --> 00:01:27.139
Yeah, i'd wake up in the morning praying,
00:01:27.206 --> 00:01:28.373
In the morning praying, i'd pray all day.

I'd pray all day. i'd be bumping into
00:01:29.408 --> 00:01:29.908
I'd be bumping into telephone poles just praying.
00:01:29.975 --> 00:01:31.877
Telephone poles just praying. my eyes closed, my head bowed,
00:01:31.944 --> 00:01:33.779
My eyes closed, my head bowed, if the moment i prayed,
00:01:33.846 --> 00:01:36.181
If the moment i prayed, my prayer came to pass
00:01:36.248 --> 00:01:38.250
My prayer came to pass you couldn't stop me
00:01:38.317 --> 00:01:39.551
You couldn't stop me from praying.
00:01:39.618 --> 00:01:40.285
From praying. but here's the problem,
00:01:40.352 --> 00:01:41.820
But here's the problem, sometimes i pray
00:01:41.887 --> 00:01:43.288
Sometimes i pray and nothing comes to pass.
00:01:43.355 --> 00:01:44.990
And nothing comes to pass. god wants to know
00:01:45.057 --> 00:01:45.824

Will you still pray? this message is for somebody
00:01:53.899 --> 00:01:55.467
This message is for somebody who's progress is not
00:01:55.534 --> 00:01:57.336
Who's progress is not obvious right now.
00:01:57.402 --> 00:01:58.904
Obvious right now. i wanted you to know
00:01:58.971 --> 00:01:59.905
I wanted you to know that just because
00:01:59.972 --> 00:02:01.507
That just because your progress isn't obvious
00:02:01.573 --> 00:02:03.642
Your progress isn't obvious it doesn't mean
00:02:03.709 --> 00:02:04.776
It doesn't mean your faith isn't working.
00:02:04.843 --> 00:02:06.378
Your faith isn't working. you gotta learn how to take
00:02:06.445 --> 00:02:08.247
You gotta learn how to take another lap even
00:02:08.313 --> 00:02:09.681
Another lap even when nothing moves,
00:02:09.748 --> 00:02:10.849
When nothing moves, even when no brick falls
00:02:10.916 --> 00:02:12.518
Even when no brick falls out of the wall,
00:02:12.584 --> 00:02:13.318
Out of the wall, even when the wrecking crew
00:02:13.385 --> 00:02:14.419
Even when the wrecking crew shows up, even when
00:02:14.486 --> 00:02:15.621
Shows up, even when the progress isn't evident.
00:02:15.687 --> 00:02:17.222
The progress isn't evident. you gotta walk, and walk,
00:02:17.289 --> 00:02:19.258
You gotta walk, and walk, and walk, and walk, and walk.
00:02:19.324 --> 00:02:25.964
And walk, and walk, and walk. see cherish,
00:02:26.031 --> 00:02:27.132
See cherish, this is not like tetris,
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.569
This is not like tetris, i know you're too young
00:02:30.636 --> 00:02:31.403
I know you're too young to remember tetris,
00:02:31.470 --> 00:02:32.604
To remember tetris, but in tetris
00:02:32.671 --> 00:02:33.939
But in tetris when you completed a line,
00:02:34.006 --> 00:02:35.741
When you completed a line, the line disappeared.
00:02:35.807 --> 00:02:38.410
The line disappeared. and if i had been god
00:02:38.477 --> 00:02:40.345
And if i had been god designing this miracle
00:02:40.412 --> 00:02:41.413
Designing this miracle i would have made it
00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:42.281
I would have made it like tetris,
00:02:42.347 --> 00:02:44.082
Like tetris, you know when you complete
00:02:44.149 --> 00:02:45.250
You know when you complete one lap around the city
00:02:45.317 --> 00:02:46.785
One lap around the city it takes about an hour
00:02:46.852 --> 00:02:47.686
It takes about an hour to walk around jericho,
00:02:47.753 --> 00:02:49.087
To walk around jericho, so that's pretty
00:02:49.154 --> 00:02:49.655
So that's pretty good cardio work out.
00:02:49.721 --> 00:02:51.089
Good cardio work out. and once you take one lap,
00:02:51.156 --> 00:02:52.624
And once you take one lap, one line's gonna fall down,
00:02:52.691 --> 00:02:53.926
One line's gonna fall down, one seventh of the wall.
00:02:53.992 --> 00:02:55.127
One seventh of the wall. and the next day you come
00:02:55.194 --> 00:02:56.395
And the next day you come and now two sevenths
00:02:56.461 --> 00:02:58.530
And now two sevenths of the wall
00:02:58.597 --> 00:02:59.264
Of the wall cause that's progress,
00:02:59.331 --> 00:03:00.032
Cause that's progress, and progress is motivating,
00:03:00.098 --> 00:03:01.066
And progress is motivating, and sometimes we need
00:03:01.133 --> 00:03:01.867
And sometimes we need some motivation to know that
00:03:01.934 --> 00:03:02.868
Some motivation to know that what we're doing is working.
00:03:02.935 --> 00:03:03.502
What we're doing is working. cause if we don't know what
00:03:03.569 --> 00:03:04.236
Cause if we don't know what we're doing is working
00:03:04.303 --> 00:03:04.736
We're doing is working we don't want to work at it.
00:03:04.803 --> 00:03:05.604
We don't want to work at it. so if i were god i would
00:03:05.671 --> 00:03:06.471
So if i were god i would give you a sign
00:03:06.538 --> 00:03:07.005
Give you a sign that it's working,
00:03:07.072 --> 00:03:07.439
That it's working, and god says "maybe
00:03:07.506 --> 00:03:09.575
And god says "maybe i don't want you to know
00:03:09.641 --> 00:03:11.710
I don't want you to know it's working,
00:03:11.777 --> 00:03:13.912
It's working, because there's a deeper work
00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:15.080
Because there's a deeper work i want to do in you.
00:03:15.147 --> 00:03:19.585
I want to do in you. maybe the reason i let you
00:03:19.651 --> 00:03:22.721
Maybe the reason i let you walk around the walls
00:03:22.788 --> 00:03:25.257
Walk around the walls and see no result is because
00:03:25.324 --> 00:03:27.893
And see no result is because i want you to be
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:28.827
I want you to be less focused on the outcome,
00:03:28.894 --> 00:03:31.763
Less focused on the outcome, and more focused on obedience."
00:03:31.830 --> 00:03:37.236
And more focused on obedience." life lesson,
00:03:37.302 --> 00:03:39.304
Life lesson, outcome is god's responsibility.
00:03:39.371 --> 00:03:42.574
Outcome is god's responsibility. obedience is yours.
00:03:42.641 --> 00:03:47.713
Obedience is yours. and what i want you to know
00:03:47.779 --> 00:03:49.514
And what i want you to know is while they were walking,
00:03:49.581 --> 00:03:51.683
Is while they were walking, nothing was happening
00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:52.618
Nothing was happening to the wall,
00:03:52.684 --> 00:03:54.486
To the wall, but what was happening
00:03:54.553 --> 00:03:55.921
Inside of them
00:03:56.021 --> 00:03:57.556
As their obedience
00:03:57.623 --> 00:03:58.690
Was trained to obey
00:03:58.757 --> 00:04:00.659
God's instruction even when
00:04:00.726 --> 00:04:02.361
They didn't understand it
00:04:02.427 --> 00:04:03.662
Was preparing them
00:04:03.762 --> 00:04:05.330
Was preparing them for the promise
00:04:05.397 --> 00:04:07.833
For the promise that they were about to receive.
00:04:07.899 --> 00:04:12.037
Now, it gets even
00:04:12.137 --> 00:04:13.238
Now, it gets even more interesting because
00:04:13.305 --> 00:04:16.141
More interesting because god tells joshua
00:04:16.208 --> 00:04:18.310
God tells joshua "i got a plan, i got a purpose.
00:04:18.377 --> 00:04:21.480
"i got a plan, i got a purpose. you got the promise,
00:04:21.546 --> 00:04:23.048
You got the promise, and here's the plan.
00:04:23.115 --> 00:04:24.283
And here's the plan. walk around the walls
00:04:24.349 --> 00:04:25.150
Walk around the walls six times, once a day.
00:04:25.217 --> 00:04:27.953
Six times, once a day. on the seventh day,
00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:29.121
On the seventh day, seven times.
00:04:29.187 --> 00:04:30.188
Seven times. make some music,
00:04:30.255 --> 00:04:31.423
Make some music, blow your trumpets,
00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:33.692
Blow your trumpets, and i'm about to do
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.127
And i'm about to do something only i can do.
00:04:35.193 --> 00:04:36.495
Something only i can do. it'll be great, joshua,
00:04:36.561 --> 00:04:38.764
It'll be great, joshua, i got this."
00:04:38.830 --> 00:04:40.632
I got this." so joshua calls the people
00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:44.836
So joshua calls the people that have to do the walking
00:04:44.903 --> 00:04:47.172
In verse 6, and he says to them
00:04:47.272 --> 00:04:50.609
In verse 6, and he says to them "take up the ark
00:04:50.676 --> 00:04:51.410
"take up the ark of the covenant of the lord"
00:04:51.476 --> 00:04:52.511
Of the covenant of the lord" this represented god's presence
00:04:52.577 --> 00:04:55.614
This represented god's presence "and have seven priests
00:04:55.681 --> 00:04:56.415
"and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.
00:04:56.481 --> 00:04:58.016
Carry trumpets in front of it. and he ordered the army
00:04:58.083 --> 00:04:58.617
And he ordered the army advance march around
00:04:58.684 --> 00:04:59.451
Advance march around the city with an armed guard
00:04:59.518 --> 00:05:00.886
The city with an armed guard going ahead
00:05:00.952 --> 00:05:02.487
Going ahead of the ark of the lord.
00:05:02.554 --> 00:05:04.790
Of the ark of the lord. and when joshua had
00:05:04.856 --> 00:05:05.390
And when joshua had spoken to the people,
00:05:05.457 --> 00:05:06.591
Spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying
00:05:06.658 --> 00:05:07.559
The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets
00:05:07.626 --> 00:05:08.026
The seven trumpets before the lord went forward
00:05:08.093 --> 00:05:09.094
Before the lord went forward blowing their trumpets
00:05:09.161 --> 00:05:10.996
Blowing their trumpets and the ark
00:05:11.063 --> 00:05:11.363
And the ark of the lord's covenant
00:05:11.430 --> 00:05:11.963
Of the lord's covenant followed them.
00:05:12.030 --> 00:05:12.464
Followed them. the armed guards
00:05:12.531 --> 00:05:13.999
The armed guards marched ahead of the priests
00:05:14.066 --> 00:05:14.633
Marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets
00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:15.567
Who blew the trumpets and rear guard followed the ark
00:05:15.634 --> 00:05:16.668
And rear guard followed the ark all this time the trumpets
00:05:16.735 --> 00:05:17.836
All this time the trumpets were sounding, but joshua
00:05:17.903 --> 00:05:20.339
Were sounding, but joshua had commanded the army
00:05:20.405 --> 00:05:21.506
Had commanded the army 'don't give a war cry,
00:05:21.573 --> 00:05:22.474
'don't give a war cry, don't raise your voices,
00:05:22.541 --> 00:05:23.909
Don't raise your voices, do not say a word till the day
00:05:23.975 --> 00:05:25.043
Do not say a word till the day i tell you to shout.
00:05:25.110 --> 00:05:26.044
I tell you to shout. then shout.'"
00:05:26.111 --> 00:05:26.478
Then shout.'" cause sometimes
00:05:26.545 --> 00:05:26.945
Cause sometimes the best strategy is
00:05:27.012 --> 00:05:27.446
The best strategy is shut up and march.
00:05:27.512 --> 00:05:30.982
Shut up and march. sometimes the more you talk,
00:05:31.049 --> 00:05:32.084
The more you'll talk
00:05:32.184 --> 00:05:32.684
The more you'll talk yourself out of what god
00:05:32.751 --> 00:05:33.518
Yourself out of what god has promised you.
00:05:33.585 --> 00:05:34.286
Has promised you. sometimes the best strategy
00:05:34.353 --> 00:05:35.020
Sometimes the best strategy is just shut up and march.
00:05:35.087 --> 00:05:38.323
Is just shut up and march. now notice in all that
00:05:38.390 --> 00:05:39.257
Now notice in all that i just read to you what joshua
00:05:39.324 --> 00:05:41.526
I just read to you what joshua did not tell the leaders.
00:05:41.593 --> 00:05:44.029
Did not tell the leaders. oh he gave them
00:05:44.096 --> 00:05:44.830
Oh he gave them the instruction "march."
00:05:44.896 --> 00:05:47.599
The instruction "march." but he didn't' tell them
00:05:47.666 --> 00:05:48.367
But he didn't' tell them how long they'd have to do it.
00:05:48.433 --> 00:05:53.972
How long they'd have to do it. wouldn't it be nice if life
00:05:54.039 --> 00:05:56.508
Wouldn't it be nice if life would let you know how many
00:05:56.575 --> 00:05:57.743
Would let you know how many laps you have left in your race?
00:05:57.809 --> 00:06:01.880
Laps you have left in your race? see joshua, when he set out
00:06:01.947 --> 00:06:03.482
See joshua, when he set out the first day he's got
00:06:03.548 --> 00:06:05.083
The first day he's got this knowledge
00:06:05.150 --> 00:06:05.550
This knowledge cause he had this conversation
00:06:05.617 --> 00:06:06.151
Cause he had this conversation with god and he's like
00:06:06.218 --> 00:06:07.486
With god and he's like "six more days of this,
00:06:07.552 --> 00:06:09.554
"six more days of this, and then we bout to kick
00:06:09.621 --> 00:06:10.322
And then we bout to kick some jericho --
00:06:10.389 --> 00:06:12.924
Some jericho -- we're about to win
00:06:12.991 --> 00:06:14.192
We're about to win the lord's battle."
00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:16.461
The lord's battle." i changed it mid sentence,
00:06:16.528 --> 00:06:17.829
I changed it mid sentence, i was gonna say something else.
00:06:17.896 --> 00:06:20.365
I was gonna say something else. and then on the second day
00:06:20.432 --> 00:06:21.600
And then on the second day he knew "only five more days,
00:06:21.666 --> 00:06:25.737
He knew "only five more days, we about to turn this city out.
00:06:25.804 --> 00:06:28.874
We about to turn this city out. we're about to go in
00:06:28.940 --> 00:06:30.275

And get what's ours. we're about to see
00:06:31.276 --> 00:06:32.310
We're about to see god's glory on display."
00:06:32.377 --> 00:06:35.680
God's glory on display." but the people didn't know that.
00:06:35.747 --> 00:06:38.183
But the people didn't know that. look at verse 12,
00:06:38.250 --> 00:06:41.253
Excuse me, verse 11.
00:06:41.353 --> 00:06:43.889
Excuse me, verse 11. "so he had the ark of the lord
00:06:43.955 --> 00:06:44.923
"so he had the ark of the lord carried around the city,
00:06:44.990 --> 00:06:45.791
Carried around the city, circling it once.
00:06:45.857 --> 00:06:46.691
Circling it once. then the army returned to camp
00:06:46.758 --> 00:06:47.859
Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there."
00:06:47.926 --> 00:06:48.794
And spent the night there." now imagine if you were

And the children didn't go on the march,
00:06:55.834 --> 00:06:56.701

Just tell me it's half way. just tell me what you need
00:11:32.711 --> 00:11:33.812
Just tell me what you need to tell me to keep me going
00:11:33.878 --> 00:11:35.380
To tell me to keep me going for another rep,
00:11:35.447 --> 00:11:36.948
For another rep, cause i just can't be doing this
00:11:37.015 --> 00:11:39.117
Cause i just can't be doing this and not knowing
00:11:39.184 --> 00:11:40.585
And not knowing how much longer i have left.
00:11:40.652 --> 00:11:42.554
How much longer i have left. but you know
00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.154
But you know what's funny about life?
00:11:43.221 --> 00:11:44.556
What's funny about life? life doesn't 15 more seconds,
00:11:44.622 --> 00:11:47.025
Life doesn't 15 more seconds, life doesn't tell you
00:11:47.092 --> 00:11:48.226
Life doesn't tell you three more reps,
00:11:48.293 --> 00:11:49.327
Three more reps, life doesn't tell you
00:11:49.394 --> 00:11:50.495
Life doesn't tell you "just hang in there
00:11:50.562 --> 00:11:51.329
"just hang in there till the end of this year."
00:11:51.396 --> 00:11:52.764
Till the end of this year." life doesn't tell you
00:11:52.831 --> 00:11:53.565
Life doesn't tell you "your breakthrough
00:11:53.631 --> 00:11:54.499
"your breakthrough is just around the corner."
00:11:54.566 --> 00:11:55.500
Is just around the corner." so you march, and you march,
00:11:55.567 --> 00:11:57.836
So you march, and you march, and you walk, and you walk,
00:11:57.902 --> 00:12:00.772
And you walk, and you walk, and you wonder, and you wonder
00:12:00.839 --> 00:12:03.408
And you wonder, and you wonder "when am i gonna be
00:12:03.475 --> 00:12:06.845
"when am i gonna be done with this?"
00:12:06.911 --> 00:12:08.880
Done with this?" i don't mind walking,
00:12:08.947 --> 00:12:10.248
I don't mind walking, but i just need to know
00:12:10.315 --> 00:12:12.517
But i just need to know how many laps i have left.
00:12:12.584 --> 00:12:17.555
How many laps i have left. i don't mind hanging in there,
00:12:17.622 --> 00:12:20.391
I don't mind hanging in there, i just need to know
00:12:20.458 --> 00:12:22.861
I just need to know when it's gonna
00:12:22.927 --> 00:12:23.595
When it's gonna stop hurting like it hurts.
00:12:23.661 --> 00:12:27.365
Stop hurting like it hurts. i can keep my head up,
00:12:27.432 --> 00:12:30.235
I can keep my head up, but i just need to know
00:12:30.301 --> 00:12:31.369
But i just need to know where the other side is.
00:12:31.436 --> 00:12:33.872
Where the other side is. and see when you're
00:12:33.938 --> 00:12:34.739
And see when you're on the third lap,
00:12:34.806 --> 00:12:36.574
On the third lap, and the fourth lap,
00:12:36.641 --> 00:12:38.877
And the fourth lap, and the fifth lap,
00:12:38.943 --> 00:12:41.179
And the fifth lap, and the sixth lap,
00:12:41.246 --> 00:12:43.648
And the sixth lap, and you've been addicted
00:12:43.715 --> 00:12:44.749
And you've been addicted to this all your life,
00:12:44.816 --> 00:12:46.885
To this all your life, and you keep trying
00:12:46.951 --> 00:12:47.786
And you keep trying to break the addiction,
00:12:47.852 --> 00:12:49.821
To break the addiction, but you keep falling harder
00:12:49.888 --> 00:12:51.322
But you keep falling harder every time you fall again.
00:12:51.389 --> 00:12:54.526
Every time you fall again. i don't mind containing
00:12:54.592 --> 00:12:56.694
I don't mind containing the pursuit,
00:12:56.761 --> 00:12:58.530
The pursuit, but i just need to know
00:12:58.596 --> 00:12:59.864
But i just need to know when this process
00:12:59.931 --> 00:13:01.633
When this process is gonna be through.
00:13:01.699 --> 00:13:04.569
Is gonna be through. and see the third reason
00:13:04.636 --> 00:13:06.171
And see the third reason people stop short
00:13:06.237 --> 00:13:07.672
People stop short of total victory is because
00:13:07.739 --> 00:13:09.674
Of total victory is because the process is open ended.
00:13:09.741 --> 00:13:14.512
The process is open ended. it'd be one thing
00:13:14.579 --> 00:13:16.181
It'd be one thing if life was like nascar,
00:13:16.247 --> 00:13:21.786
If life was like nascar, cause in nascar,
00:13:21.853 --> 00:13:23.288
Cause in nascar, i'm not a fan, i'm not.
00:13:23.354 --> 00:13:28.793
I'm not a fan, i'm not. i don't have anything
00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:29.527
I don't have anything against you if you are,
00:13:29.594 --> 00:13:30.662
Against you if you are, but i'm not a fan of nascar.
00:13:30.728 --> 00:13:34.065
But i'm not a fan of nascar. i don't know why
00:13:34.132 --> 00:13:34.632
I don't know why i'm screaming about it,
00:13:34.699 --> 00:13:35.466
I'm screaming about it, but i got stuck
00:13:35.533 --> 00:13:36.000
But i got stuck in this register
00:13:36.067 --> 00:13:37.135
In this register and i can't come out.
00:13:37.202 --> 00:13:40.271
And i can't come out. it happens sometimes.
00:13:40.338 --> 00:13:45.243
It happens sometimes. but in the bottom of the screen
00:13:45.310 --> 00:13:46.644
But in the bottom of the screen i saw in the nascar race
00:13:46.711 --> 00:13:48.379
I saw in the nascar race it tells you how many laps
00:13:48.446 --> 00:13:50.381
It tells you how many laps they have left.
00:13:50.448 --> 00:13:52.817
They have left. and then i started studying
00:13:52.884 --> 00:13:53.718
And then i started studying about nascar on wikipedia
00:13:53.785 --> 00:13:59.290
About nascar on wikipedia and i found out that
00:13:59.357 --> 00:14:00.792
And i found out that when you only have one lap left
00:14:00.859 --> 00:14:02.760
When you only have one lap left they wave the white flag
00:14:02.827 --> 00:14:05.730
They wave the white flag to let you know
00:14:05.797 --> 00:14:07.732
To let you know this is lap number seven.
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.869
This is the last one,
00:14:10.969 --> 00:14:12.070
This is the last one, this is it.
00:14:12.136 --> 00:14:14.305
This is it. if you can make it around here,
00:14:14.372 --> 00:14:16.241
If you can make it around here, your race is done.
00:14:16.307 --> 00:14:20.178
Your race is done. but life doesn't wave
00:14:20.245 --> 00:14:21.179
But life doesn't wave the white flag.
00:14:21.246 --> 00:14:26.017
So then we wave our white flag,
00:14:26.117 --> 00:14:31.589
So then we wave our white flag, not even knowing
00:14:31.656 --> 00:14:33.591
Not even knowing that just around the next turn,
00:14:33.658 --> 00:14:36.861
That just around the next turn, just around the next sacrifice,
00:14:36.928 --> 00:14:40.131
Just around the next sacrifice, just if you can make it
00:14:40.198 --> 00:14:41.666
Just if you can make it through this season,
00:14:41.733 --> 00:14:43.034
Through this season, just if you don't give up
00:14:43.101 --> 00:14:44.535
Just if you don't give up in this trial.
00:14:44.602 --> 00:14:50.208
In this trial. see the reason you can't stop
00:14:50.275 --> 00:14:52.944
See the reason you can't stop is cause you might be
00:14:53.011 --> 00:14:54.379
Is cause you might be on six and not even know it.
00:14:54.445 --> 00:14:59.083
On six and not even know it. you might be so close.
00:14:59.150 --> 00:15:01.252
You might be so close. wouldn't it be a shame
00:15:01.319 --> 00:15:02.854
Wouldn't it be a shame for you to quit
00:15:02.921 --> 00:15:04.055
For you to quit when you're this close?
00:15:04.122 --> 00:15:05.556
When you're this close? wouldn't it be a shame
00:15:05.623 --> 00:15:06.991
Wouldn't it be a shame for you to walk away
00:15:07.058 --> 00:15:08.493
For you to walk away when you've come this far?
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.228
When you've come this far? wouldn't it be horrible
00:15:10.295 --> 00:15:11.896
Wouldn't it be horrible for you to bail out
00:15:11.963 --> 00:15:13.498
For you to bail out when you're just
00:15:13.564 --> 00:15:14.465
When you're just this close to victory?
00:15:14.532 --> 00:15:18.970
This close to victory? you can't stop on six,
00:15:19.037 --> 00:15:21.172
You can't stop on six, you can't walk by what you see,
00:15:21.239 --> 00:15:23.508
You can't walk by what you see, you can't give up
00:15:23.574 --> 00:15:24.676
You can't give up cause it doesn't feel good.
00:15:24.742 --> 00:15:26.244
Cause it doesn't feel good. you can't let people talk
00:15:26.311 --> 00:15:27.779
You can't let people talk you out of it.
00:15:27.845 --> 00:15:28.780
You out of it. you can't let your emotions
00:15:28.846 --> 00:15:30.648
You can't let your emotions stop you from moving forward.
00:15:30.715 --> 00:15:36.888
Stop you from moving forward. this message is for somebody
00:15:36.955 --> 00:15:39.891
This message is for somebody who's walking in circles.
00:15:39.958 --> 00:15:44.729
Who's walking in circles. and there's a promise
00:15:44.796 --> 00:15:46.965
And there's a promise god has made you,
00:15:47.031 --> 00:15:49.367
God has made you, and there's a problem
00:15:49.434 --> 00:15:50.735
And there's a problem in the way,
00:15:50.802 --> 00:15:52.770
In the way, and you're walking,
00:15:52.837 --> 00:15:55.573
And you're walking, and you're walking,
00:15:55.640 --> 00:15:58.042
And you're walking, and you're at church,
00:15:58.109 --> 00:16:03.681
And you're at church, and you're trying,
00:16:03.748 --> 00:16:07.518
And you're trying, but you're wondering
00:16:07.585 --> 00:16:10.455
But you're wondering "how much longer are we gonna
00:16:10.521 --> 00:16:13.992
"how much longer are we gonna have to walk around these walls?
00:16:14.058 --> 00:16:19.630
Have to walk around these walls? how much longer
00:16:19.697 --> 00:16:20.365
How much longer am i gonna try to eat better,
00:16:20.431 --> 00:16:22.967
Am i gonna try to eat better, only to put the pounds
00:16:23.034 --> 00:16:24.102
Only to put the pounds back on five more
00:16:24.168 --> 00:16:25.236
Back on five more than i dropped?
00:16:25.303 --> 00:16:28.072
Than i dropped? how much longer,
00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:30.441
How much longer, how much further?
00:16:30.508 --> 00:16:35.213
How much further? how many more nights
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:36.247
How many more nights do i have to be single?
00:16:36.314 --> 00:16:39.417
Do i have to be single? how many more friends do
00:16:39.484 --> 00:16:40.251
How many more friends do i have to watch get engaged?
00:16:40.318 --> 00:16:43.755
I have to watch get engaged? trying to stay pure god,
00:16:43.821 --> 00:16:45.189
Trying to stay pure god, but how much longer?
00:16:45.256 --> 00:16:47.592
But how much longer? how much longer?
00:16:47.658 --> 00:16:50.628
How much longer? cause i don't mind walking,
00:16:50.695 --> 00:16:54.198
Cause i don't mind walking, but i'm about to wave my flag
00:16:54.265 --> 00:16:55.600
But i'm about to wave my flag if you don't wave yours."
00:16:55.666 --> 00:17:02.740
If you don't wave yours." what do you do
00:17:02.807 --> 00:17:05.243
What do you do when you've walked around
00:17:05.309 --> 00:17:06.110
When you've walked around something so long
00:17:06.177 --> 00:17:09.814
Something so long and you try to keep
00:17:09.881 --> 00:17:10.681
And you try to keep your mouth shut about it,
00:17:10.748 --> 00:17:11.716
Your mouth shut about it, and you try to stay faithful,
00:17:11.783 --> 00:17:13.151
And you try to stay faithful, and i'm trying to stay in there,
00:17:13.217 --> 00:17:14.152
And i'm trying to stay in there, and i'm trying to be a good dad,
00:17:14.218 --> 00:17:15.420
And i'm trying to be a good dad, but if these kids
00:17:15.486 --> 00:17:15.987
But if these kids don't start respecting me
00:17:16.054 --> 00:17:17.288
Don't start respecting me i think it'd just
00:17:17.355 --> 00:17:17.889
I think it'd just be easier to leave.
00:17:17.955 --> 00:17:20.925
Be easier to leave. i mean, cause i already don't
00:17:20.992 --> 00:17:21.726
I mean, cause i already don't have to put up with this.
00:17:21.793 --> 00:17:24.262
Have to put up with this. and i keep hearing that
00:17:24.328 --> 00:17:25.063
And i keep hearing that if i train my kids up
00:17:25.129 --> 00:17:25.997
If i train my kids up in the way they should go
00:17:26.064 --> 00:17:26.931
In the way they should go when they're old
00:17:26.998 --> 00:17:27.465
When they're old they don't depart
00:17:27.532 --> 00:17:27.965
They don't depart but they don't have to get old,
00:17:28.032 --> 00:17:28.866
But they don't have to get old, cause i'm gonna kill 'em
00:17:28.933 --> 00:17:29.534
Cause i'm gonna kill 'em if they don't straighten up
00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:30.301
If they don't straighten up right now.
00:17:30.368 --> 00:17:31.169
Right now. how much longer?
00:17:31.235 --> 00:17:35.073
How much longer? how much longer?
00:17:35.139 --> 00:17:41.913
How much longer? but see it's in walking around
00:17:41.979 --> 00:17:42.980
The walls six times,
00:17:43.081 --> 00:17:49.687
The walls six times, it's in walking around the walls
00:17:49.754 --> 00:17:52.457
It's in walking around the walls in your own strength
00:17:52.523 --> 00:17:54.459
In your own strength and nothing happens.
00:17:54.525 --> 00:17:55.326
And nothing happens. why?
00:17:55.393 --> 00:17:56.694
Why? would god let me circle
00:17:56.761 --> 00:17:58.329
Would god let me circle these walls six times,
00:17:58.396 --> 00:18:02.800
Why not just knock 'em down
00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:06.204
Why not just knock 'em down on the first lap?
00:18:06.270 --> 00:18:07.171
On the first lap? after all, wouldn't that be
00:18:07.238 --> 00:18:08.206
After all, wouldn't that be more efficient?
00:18:08.272 --> 00:18:10.908
More efficient? come on god, we got stuff to do,
00:18:10.975 --> 00:18:12.677
Come on god, we got stuff to do, people to see, cities to subdue,
00:18:12.743 --> 00:18:15.847
People to see, cities to subdue, a promise land to occupy.
00:18:15.913 --> 00:18:17.315
A promise land to occupy. come on god, can we get
00:18:17.381 --> 00:18:22.854
Come on god, can we get these walls down now?
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.591
These walls down now? god says "not until
00:18:26.657 --> 00:18:28.926
God says "not until you've taken six laps,
00:18:28.993 --> 00:18:32.029
You've taken six laps, cause i need you to know
00:18:32.096 --> 00:18:34.198
Cause i need you to know once you get inside
00:18:34.265 --> 00:18:35.700
Once you get inside your promise,
00:18:35.766 --> 00:18:37.602
Your promise, who brought you there."
00:18:37.668 --> 00:18:42.640
Who brought you there." see if i didn't make you circle,
00:18:42.707 --> 00:18:45.710
See if i didn't make you circle, if i didn't make you look at
00:18:45.776 --> 00:18:46.944
If i didn't make you look at those walls you'd think
00:18:47.011 --> 00:18:49.280
Those walls you'd think it was your shout
00:18:49.347 --> 00:18:50.047
It was your shout that brought the walls down.
00:18:50.114 --> 00:18:52.049
That brought the walls down. you'd think it was cause
00:18:52.116 --> 00:18:52.683
You'd think it was cause you're so good
00:18:52.750 --> 00:18:53.551
You're so good and then you wouldn't
00:18:53.618 --> 00:18:54.385
And then you wouldn't be prepared for the promise."
00:18:54.452 --> 00:18:58.189
Be prepared for the promise." i found a verse in hebrews 10:35
00:18:58.256 --> 00:19:01.225
I found a verse in hebrews 10:35 the writer of hebrews
00:19:01.292 --> 00:19:03.694
The writer of hebrews is speaking to some christians
00:19:03.761 --> 00:19:05.630
Is speaking to some christians who are being persecuted,
00:19:05.696 --> 00:19:07.198
Check out what he says.
00:19:07.298 --> 00:19:09.433
Check out what he says. he tells 'em "don't throw
00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.501
He tells 'em "don't throw away your confidence
00:19:10.568 --> 00:19:12.737
Away your confidence it will be richly rewarded.
00:19:12.803 --> 00:19:16.140
It will be richly rewarded. you need to persevere
00:19:16.207 --> 00:19:20.311
You need to persevere so that when you have done
00:19:20.378 --> 00:19:23.114
So that when you have done the will of god"
00:19:23.181 --> 00:19:24.015
The will of god" see you don't have to feel it
00:19:24.081 --> 00:19:24.949
See you don't have to feel it to do it, you don't have
00:19:25.016 --> 00:19:27.318
To do it, you don't have to understand it to do it.
00:19:27.385 --> 00:19:29.320
To understand it to do it. you don't even have
00:19:29.387 --> 00:19:30.054
You don't even have to like it to do it.
00:19:30.121 --> 00:19:31.556
To like it to do it. "but when you have done
00:19:31.622 --> 00:19:33.391
"but when you have done the will of god
00:19:33.457 --> 00:19:34.458
The will of god you need to persevere
00:19:34.525 --> 00:19:37.395
You need to persevere so that you will receive
00:19:37.461 --> 00:19:39.797
So that you will receive what he has promised."
00:19:39.864 --> 00:19:42.400
What he has promised." and it is in the process
00:19:42.466 --> 00:19:44.368
Of circling my problem
00:19:44.468 --> 00:19:46.370
Of circling my problem that god prepares me
00:19:46.437 --> 00:19:47.505
That god prepares me for the promise.
00:19:47.572 --> 00:19:49.840
For the promise. he has to prepare me
00:19:49.907 --> 00:19:51.309
He has to prepare me for what he has prepared for me.
00:19:51.375 --> 00:19:55.313
For what he has prepared for me. it's in circling the walls
00:19:55.379 --> 00:19:57.381
It's in circling the walls that i get strong enough
00:19:57.448 --> 00:19:58.950
That i get strong enough to fight the battle
00:19:59.016 --> 00:20:00.051
To fight the battle once they fall down.
00:20:00.117 --> 00:20:03.221
Once they fall down. so i'm not circling
00:20:03.287 --> 00:20:04.288
So i'm not circling these walls for nothing,
00:20:04.355 --> 00:20:07.258
These walls for nothing, i need to persevere,
00:20:07.325 --> 00:20:10.761
I need to persevere, cause you never know,

This might be your seventh lap. you don't know,

You don't know, this might be the time.

This might be the time. you know sometimes
00:20:21.072 --> 00:20:22.306

Don't always feel like trying to pump you up.
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:36.687
Like trying to pump you up. sometimes i wish somebody would
00:20:36.754 --> 00:20:37.888
Sometimes i wish somebody would preach my sermon to me,
00:20:37.955 --> 00:20:38.923
Preach my sermon to me, cause they're pretty good,
00:20:38.990 --> 00:20:39.924
Cause they're pretty good, and i like to hear 'em
00:20:39.991 --> 00:20:40.758
And i like to hear 'em and not have to preach 'em.
00:20:40.825 --> 00:20:41.993
And not have to preach 'em. but sometimes i don't

I get up here and preach. why?
00:20:46.430 --> 00:20:48.232
Why? cause this might be the time
00:20:48.299 --> 00:20:51.836
Cause this might be the time that somebody who is far away
00:20:51.902 --> 00:20:54.405
That somebody who is far away from god finally hears
00:20:54.472 --> 00:20:56.507
From god finally hears the gospel and finally
00:20:56.574 --> 00:20:58.175
The gospel and finally gets the message,
00:20:58.242 --> 00:20:59.443
Gets the message, and finally receives
