00:00:10.864 --> 00:00:15.001
>> y'all, i got this thought
00:00:15.402 --> 00:00:17.170
>> y'all, i got this thought that goes through my mind,
00:00:17.237 --> 00:00:18.838
That goes through my mind, all the time,
00:00:18.905 --> 00:00:21.374
All the time, that says, "it doesn't matter."
00:00:21.441 --> 00:00:25.278
That says, "it doesn't matter." just all the time.
00:00:25.345 --> 00:00:27.447
Just all the time. i could be doing anything.
00:00:27.514 --> 00:00:29.949
I could be doing anything. and it'd be like, it's almost --
00:00:30.016 --> 00:00:32.886
And it'd be like, it's almost -- the way the thought --
00:00:32.952 --> 00:00:35.655
The way the thought -- you know that eye-roll emoji
00:00:35.722 --> 00:00:36.856
You know that eye-roll emoji that you?
00:00:36.923 --> 00:00:38.391
That you? yeah.
00:00:38.458 --> 00:00:39.059
Yeah. that's -- that'd be the face
00:00:39.125 --> 00:00:40.160
That's -- that'd be the face of it but the thought behind
00:00:40.226 --> 00:00:41.394
Of it but the thought behind it is like, you know,
00:00:41.461 --> 00:00:43.830
It is like, you know, who cares?
00:00:43.897 --> 00:00:45.799
Who cares? doesn't matter.
00:00:45.865 --> 00:00:48.101
Doesn't matter. you ever had that?
00:00:48.168 --> 00:00:49.235
You ever had that? thought catching,
00:00:49.302 --> 00:00:50.370
Thought catching, trying to do something?
00:00:50.437 --> 00:00:54.174
Trying to do something? raise your hand again.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:54.874
Raise your hand again. if you've ever had that thought.
00:00:54.941 --> 00:00:57.477
If you've ever had that thought. why don't raise your hand
00:00:57.544 --> 00:00:58.711
Why don't raise your hand so much higher the second time
00:00:58.778 --> 00:00:59.512
So much higher the second time i asked it.
00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:03.316
I asked it. oh, you're not enough.
00:01:03.383 --> 00:01:10.356
Oh, you're not enough. i don't know if you say it
00:01:10.423 --> 00:01:11.224
I don't know if you say it exactly like that.
00:01:11.291 --> 00:01:13.626
Exactly like that. it's crazy how many people
00:01:13.693 --> 00:01:14.627
It's crazy how many people i talked to.
00:01:14.694 --> 00:01:16.162
I talked to. and i used to think
00:01:16.229 --> 00:01:17.263
And i used to think it was people who didn't have
00:01:17.330 --> 00:01:18.198
It was people who didn't have a lot of confidence.
00:01:18.264 --> 00:01:20.400
A lot of confidence. but then i realized
00:01:20.467 --> 00:01:21.334
But then i realized professional athletes
00:01:21.401 --> 00:01:23.803
Professional athletes have this thought
00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:25.405
Have this thought that i'm not enough.
00:01:25.472 --> 00:01:27.874
That i'm not enough. they are the ones
00:01:27.941 --> 00:01:30.009
They are the ones who our society worships.
00:01:30.076 --> 00:01:33.146
Who our society worships. and still there's a thought.
00:01:33.213 --> 00:01:34.414
And still there's a thought. it's a thought
00:01:34.481 --> 00:01:35.348
It's a thought that's going around.
00:01:35.415 --> 00:01:36.349
That's going around. the reason is going around so
00:01:36.416 --> 00:01:37.817
The reason is going around so much more now than it used to
00:01:37.884 --> 00:01:39.352
Much more now than it used to go around is because now
00:01:39.419 --> 00:01:41.087
Go around is because now we don't judge ourselves
00:01:41.154 --> 00:01:42.889
We don't judge ourselves or measure ourselves according
00:01:42.956 --> 00:01:44.491
Or measure ourselves according to the calling god has given us.
00:01:44.557 --> 00:01:48.461
To the calling god has given us. we compare ourselves
00:01:48.528 --> 00:01:50.363
We compare ourselves to a fictionalized account
00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:52.198
To a fictionalized account of somebody else's life.
00:01:52.265 --> 00:01:54.434
Of somebody else's life. that's where you always
00:01:54.501 --> 00:01:55.702
That's where you always get in trouble --
00:01:55.768 --> 00:01:56.569
Get in trouble -- now get this point.
00:01:56.636 --> 00:01:57.737
Now get this point. you always get in trouble
00:01:57.804 --> 00:01:59.139
You always get in trouble when you start comparing
00:01:59.205 --> 00:02:00.306
When you start comparing your calling
00:02:00.373 --> 00:02:01.541
Your calling to somebody else's.
00:02:01.608 --> 00:02:03.810
To somebody else's. because when you
00:02:03.877 --> 00:02:04.677
Because when you compare callings,
00:02:04.744 --> 00:02:06.246
Compare callings, you catch insecurity.
00:02:06.312 --> 00:02:08.515
You catch insecurity. when you when you
00:02:08.581 --> 00:02:09.315
When you when you compare callings
00:02:09.382 --> 00:02:10.316
Compare callings you catch insufficiency
00:02:10.383 --> 00:02:12.919
You catch insufficiency when i think not enough,
00:02:12.986 --> 00:02:14.354
When i think not enough, you know, i'm not enough.
00:02:14.420 --> 00:02:16.189
You know, i'm not enough. even the disciples, you know,
00:02:16.256 --> 00:02:18.024
Even the disciples, you know, it's not enough food
00:02:18.091 --> 00:02:19.526
It's not enough food to go around, jesus.
00:02:19.592 --> 00:02:20.727
To go around, jesus. you need to send them away.
00:02:20.793 --> 00:02:21.761
You need to send them away. how many times
00:02:21.828 --> 00:02:23.363
How many times have i sent away something
00:02:23.429 --> 00:02:25.165
Have i sent away something that god put in my life?
00:02:25.231 --> 00:02:28.134
That god put in my life? because i caught a thought
00:02:28.201 --> 00:02:30.470
Because i caught a thought that i'm not enough.
00:02:30.537 --> 00:02:33.306
That i'm not enough. they wandered around
00:02:33.373 --> 00:02:35.375
They wandered around and around and around
00:02:35.441 --> 00:02:37.177
And around and around in the wilderness for 40 years,
00:02:37.243 --> 00:02:40.280
In the wilderness for 40 years, not because of their enemy,
00:02:40.346 --> 00:02:42.348
Not because of their enemy, but because of their thought.
00:02:42.415 --> 00:02:47.086
But because of their thought. and then even sometimes
00:02:47.153 --> 00:02:48.121
And then even sometimes when things are going good,
00:02:48.188 --> 00:02:50.390
When things are going good, i got this thought.
00:02:50.456 --> 00:02:52.225
I got this thought. i don't know
00:02:52.292 --> 00:02:52.926
I don't know where it comes from.
00:02:52.992 --> 00:02:54.227
Where it comes from. i don't think it's god.
00:02:54.294 --> 00:02:56.229
I don't think it's god. i think it is.
00:02:56.296 --> 00:02:57.797
I think it is. it's hard to tell sometimes.
00:02:57.864 --> 00:03:00.667
It's hard to tell sometimes. because it's not like
00:03:00.733 --> 00:03:02.135
Because it's not like he talks like this.
00:03:02.202 --> 00:03:05.238
He talks like this. i don't even know what that was.
00:03:05.305 --> 00:03:06.206
I don't even know what that was. i'm glad he didn't
00:03:06.272 --> 00:03:07.040
I'm glad he didn't talk like that.
00:03:07.106 --> 00:03:07.874
Talk like that. that was super weird.
00:03:07.941 --> 00:03:08.608
That was super weird. yes, i like morgan freeman.
00:03:08.675 --> 00:03:09.909
Yes, i like morgan freeman. it's just a thought.
00:03:09.976 --> 00:03:13.713
It's just a thought. come on, if god sounded
00:03:13.780 --> 00:03:14.480
Come on, if god sounded like morgan freeman,
00:03:14.547 --> 00:03:15.748
Like morgan freeman, you could do it.
00:03:15.815 --> 00:03:19.118
You could do it. if he narrated your life
00:03:19.185 --> 00:03:20.420
If he narrated your life like that you could do it.
00:03:20.486 --> 00:03:21.721
Like that you could do it. you could make it you;
00:03:21.788 --> 00:03:23.223
You could make it you; you would go to sleep
00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:24.090
You would go to sleep and wake up and just be
00:03:24.157 --> 00:03:24.924
And wake up and just be ready for the day.
00:03:24.991 --> 00:03:28.094
Ready for the day. but it comes like a thought.
00:03:28.161 --> 00:03:31.464
But it comes like a thought. you know, even when
00:03:31.531 --> 00:03:32.265
You know, even when it's going good, it will last.
00:03:32.332 --> 00:03:36.869
It's going good, it will last. they'll leave you too --
00:03:36.936 --> 00:03:39.472
They'll leave you too -- you can count on them.
00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:42.408
You can count on them. then you sabotage the gift.
00:03:42.475 --> 00:03:44.911
Then you sabotage the gift. because you're not secure in it.
00:03:44.978 --> 00:03:47.413
Because you're not secure in it. because even while
00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:48.214
Because even while it's happening,
00:03:48.281 --> 00:03:49.148
It's happening, you don't believe it's real.
00:03:49.215 --> 00:03:54.454
You don't believe it's real. this is my thoughts
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.923
This is my thoughts i don't know where i caught 'em
00:03:56.990 --> 00:03:59.559
I don't know where i caught 'em i had a good mom, good dad.
00:03:59.626 --> 00:04:02.595
I had a good mom, good dad. i mean, they weren't perfect.
00:04:02.662 --> 00:04:03.596
I mean, they weren't perfect. don't get me wrong.
00:04:03.663 --> 00:04:06.766
Don't get me wrong. i wish i could trace it back
00:04:06.833 --> 00:04:07.667
I wish i could trace it back to just one traumatic event.
00:04:07.734 --> 00:04:09.736
To just one traumatic event. i think that would be easier.
00:04:09.802 --> 00:04:12.238
I think that would be easier. not enough.
00:04:12.305 --> 00:04:14.007
Not enough. where'd that thought come from.
00:04:14.073 --> 00:04:16.776
Where'd that thought come from. i'm not sure
00:04:16.843 --> 00:04:17.510
I'm not sure where it comes from.
00:04:17.577 --> 00:04:19.579
Where it comes from. but i know where it takes me.
00:04:19.646 --> 00:04:23.750
But i know where it takes me. and when i look back
00:04:23.816 --> 00:04:24.517
And when i look back on the seasons of my life,
00:04:24.584 --> 00:04:27.086
On the seasons of my life, that i was so deep
00:04:27.153 --> 00:04:27.887
That i was so deep in depression.
00:04:27.954 --> 00:04:30.089
In depression. oh, yeah.
00:04:30.156 --> 00:04:32.992
Oh, yeah. and i know the bible verses.
00:04:33.059 --> 00:04:35.895
And i know the bible verses. yeah, i know better than you.
00:04:35.962 --> 00:04:38.431
Yeah, i know better than you. let's have a quoting contest.
00:04:38.498 --> 00:04:40.233
Let's have a quoting contest. "rejoice in the lord always."
00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:42.769
"rejoice in the lord always." i was saying it again rejoice.
00:04:42.835 --> 00:04:45.405
I was saying it again rejoice. see my hand motions.
00:04:45.471 --> 00:04:46.306
See my hand motions. i know the verse.
00:04:46.372 --> 00:04:47.140
I know the verse. rejoice in the lord always.
00:04:47.206 --> 00:04:48.775
Rejoice in the lord always. and then paul says,
00:04:48.841 --> 00:04:49.776
And then paul says, i will say it again.
00:04:49.842 --> 00:04:50.977
I will say it again. rejoice.
00:04:51.044 --> 00:04:51.978
Rejoice. well, you can say it
00:04:52.045 --> 00:04:52.979
Well, you can say it as many times as you want
00:04:53.046 --> 00:04:54.280
As many times as you want to paul, i'm sad right now,
00:04:54.347 --> 00:04:56.849
To paul, i'm sad right now, and i can't find my way out.
00:04:56.916 --> 00:04:58.718
And i can't find my way out. and so now i'm fighting
00:04:58.785 --> 00:04:59.986
And so now i'm fighting on the level of my feelings
00:05:00.053 --> 00:05:01.921
On the level of my feelings but watch this, before
00:05:01.988 --> 00:05:04.123
But watch this, before it became a feeling --
00:05:04.190 --> 00:05:05.425
It became a feeling -- [applause]
00:05:05.491 --> 00:05:16.302
[applause] even paul, it wasn't just like
00:05:16.369 --> 00:05:18.438
Even paul, it wasn't just like moses was a bad leader.
00:05:18.504 --> 00:05:20.673
Moses was a bad leader. even paul had to fight against
00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:23.409
Even paul had to fight against opposing voices and thoughts,
00:05:23.476 --> 00:05:25.645
Opposing voices and thoughts, systems that undermine
00:05:25.712 --> 00:05:27.413
Systems that undermine the essence of the grace of god
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.282
The essence of the grace of god in the gospel.
00:05:29.349 --> 00:05:30.983
In the gospel. even in the churches
00:05:31.050 --> 00:05:32.018
Even in the churches that he started,
00:05:32.085 --> 00:05:33.486
That he started, even in the church at corinth,
00:05:33.553 --> 00:05:35.855
Even in the church at corinth, he would write to that church
00:05:35.922 --> 00:05:37.590
He would write to that church and what would happen to them
00:05:37.657 --> 00:05:38.958
And what would happen to them was that they would,
00:05:39.025 --> 00:05:40.693
Was that they would, they would,
00:05:40.760 --> 00:05:42.161
They would, they would be led astray
00:05:42.228 --> 00:05:43.396
They would be led astray or the word he likes to use
00:05:43.463 --> 00:05:44.530
Or the word he likes to use in second corinthians
00:05:44.597 --> 00:05:45.465
In second corinthians is deceived.
00:05:45.531 --> 00:05:48.067
Is deceived. it says, i feel that
00:05:48.134 --> 00:05:49.035
It says, i feel that you're being deceived
00:05:49.102 --> 00:05:51.037
You're being deceived by the power of suggestion.
00:05:51.104 --> 00:05:53.539
By the power of suggestion. he uses the example he says,
00:05:53.606 --> 00:05:55.742
He uses the example he says, like eve was deceived
00:05:55.808 --> 00:05:57.176
Like eve was deceived by the serpent.
00:05:57.243 --> 00:05:58.978
By the serpent. you remember that story?
00:05:59.045 --> 00:06:00.380
You remember that story? when god said,
00:06:00.446 --> 00:06:01.414
When god said, you can eat any of this,
00:06:01.481 --> 00:06:03.383
You can eat any of this, and then she caught
00:06:03.449 --> 00:06:04.550
And then she caught a thought from a snake.
00:06:04.617 --> 00:06:06.452
A thought from a snake. she allowed something that
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:07.353
She allowed something that was beneath her to speak to her
00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:12.291
Was beneath her to speak to her and she caught a thought.
00:06:12.358 --> 00:06:14.927
And she caught a thought. see, i never had a snake
00:06:14.994 --> 00:06:15.962
See, i never had a snake slither up to me and talk to me.
00:06:16.028 --> 00:06:17.797
Slither up to me and talk to me. i wish i did.
00:06:17.864 --> 00:06:19.766
I wish i did. i wish it was a snake that
00:06:19.832 --> 00:06:20.967
I wish it was a snake that i could chop the head off of it.
00:06:21.033 --> 00:06:22.769
I could chop the head off of it. it's the thought,
00:06:22.835 --> 00:06:23.803
It's the thought, and i have to live with this,
00:06:23.870 --> 00:06:25.371
And i have to live with this, and i have to deal with it.
00:06:25.438 --> 00:06:26.873
And the serpent said to eat,
00:06:26.973 --> 00:06:28.441
And the serpent said to eat, did god really say you see it,
00:06:28.508 --> 00:06:30.576
Did god really say you see it, he introduces a doubt
00:06:30.643 --> 00:06:32.612
He introduces a doubt into the possibility
00:06:32.678 --> 00:06:33.980
Into the possibility and potential of faith
00:06:34.046 --> 00:06:37.383
And potential of faith causing her to focus on
00:06:37.450 --> 00:06:39.685
Causing her to focus on what is not available
00:06:39.752 --> 00:06:40.553
Rather than what is.
00:06:40.653 --> 00:06:42.889
Rather than what is. and paul says,
00:06:42.955 --> 00:06:43.756
And paul says, i'm, i'm afraid that
00:06:43.823 --> 00:06:45.491
I'm, i'm afraid that you will be deceived.
00:06:45.558 --> 00:06:48.327
You will be deceived. because there's these.
00:06:48.394 --> 00:06:50.696
Because there's these. there's the spies
00:06:50.763 --> 00:06:51.764
There's the spies in the church of corinth,
00:06:51.831 --> 00:06:52.765
In the church of corinth, and they're leading
00:06:52.832 --> 00:06:54.901
And they're leading the christians astray.
00:06:54.967 --> 00:06:57.570
The christians astray. they're doing it by the power
00:06:57.637 --> 00:06:59.539
They're doing it by the power of thought they are introducing
00:06:59.605 --> 00:07:00.873
Of thought they are introducing the thought into the church
00:07:00.940 --> 00:07:02.308
The thought into the church that you need something
00:07:02.375 --> 00:07:03.176
That you need something other than christ
00:07:03.242 --> 00:07:05.044
Other than christ to justify you.
00:07:05.111 --> 00:07:07.580
To justify you. he says, i fear that you have
00:07:07.647 --> 00:07:08.915
He says, i fear that you have been led astray from
00:07:08.981 --> 00:07:12.018
Been led astray from your pure devotion to christ.
00:07:12.084 --> 00:07:15.688
Your pure devotion to christ. pure is the right word.
00:07:15.755 --> 00:07:16.889
Pure is the right word. that's the important word pure.
00:07:16.956 --> 00:07:19.225
That's the important word pure. it's that uncontaminated place
00:07:19.292 --> 00:07:20.960
It's that uncontaminated place that you access occasionally,
00:07:21.027 --> 00:07:23.196
That you access occasionally, where you know that
00:07:23.262 --> 00:07:24.063
Where you know that god's got you and everything
00:07:24.130 --> 00:07:25.097
God's got you and everything is going to be alright.
00:07:25.164 --> 00:07:27.567
Is going to be alright. you ever just felt that
00:07:27.633 --> 00:07:28.801
You ever just felt that and you had no reason to
00:07:28.868 --> 00:07:29.836
And you had no reason to and you didn't even
00:07:29.902 --> 00:07:30.670
And you didn't even have the facts to back it up?
00:07:30.736 --> 00:07:32.238
Have the facts to back it up? you ever just felt that like,
00:07:32.305 --> 00:07:33.473
You ever just felt that like, wow, i just feel like,
00:07:33.539 --> 00:07:36.209
Wow, i just feel like, i feel like i'm gonna make it
00:07:36.275 --> 00:07:37.343
I feel like i'm gonna make it and god's gonna do it.
00:07:37.410 --> 00:07:38.411
And god's gonna do it. and i just feel and i can't
00:07:38.478 --> 00:07:39.745
And i just feel and i can't even prove it on the flow
00:07:39.812 --> 00:07:40.980
Even prove it on the flow chart or anything like that.
00:07:41.047 --> 00:07:42.548
Chart or anything like that. but i just --
00:07:42.615 --> 00:07:47.620
But i just -- what happens is
00:07:47.687 --> 00:07:49.922
What happens is the enemy deceives you --
00:07:49.989 --> 00:07:51.524
The enemy deceives you -- he can't take what god gave you.
00:07:51.591 --> 00:07:53.793
He can't take what god gave you. you know that right?
00:07:53.860 --> 00:07:55.528
You know that right? i need to make sure
00:07:55.595 --> 00:07:56.295
I need to make sure you know that.
00:07:56.362 --> 00:07:57.263
You know that. he can't take what god gave you.
00:07:57.330 --> 00:08:00.032
He can't take what god gave you. but if he can get you
00:08:00.099 --> 00:08:00.933
But if he can get you to catch a thought
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:01.868
To catch a thought that opposes it,
00:08:01.934 --> 00:08:03.903
That opposes it, he can keep you so weak
00:08:03.970 --> 00:08:05.771
He can keep you so weak that you will not walk into it.
00:08:05.838 --> 00:08:07.974
That you will not walk into it. [applause]
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:14.747
[applause] and this is what he says
00:08:14.814 --> 00:08:16.015
And this is what he says to the church at corinth,
00:08:16.082 --> 00:08:17.884
To the church at corinth, because they got
00:08:17.950 --> 00:08:18.551
Because they got spies running around
00:08:18.618 --> 00:08:19.485
Spies running around introducing lies
00:08:19.552 --> 00:08:21.387
Introducing lies to the church.
00:08:21.454 --> 00:08:23.256
To the church. they got thoughts that oppose
00:08:23.322 --> 00:08:25.458
They got thoughts that oppose the knowledge of god.
00:08:25.525 --> 00:08:26.359
The knowledge of god. in fact, that's how
00:08:26.425 --> 00:08:27.193
In fact, that's how he phrases it.
00:08:27.260 --> 00:08:28.327
He phrases it. in 2 corinthians 10:4,
00:08:28.394 --> 00:08:30.596
In 2 corinthians 10:4, he says, "the weapons
00:08:30.663 --> 00:08:31.497
He says, "the weapons we fight with are not
00:08:31.564 --> 00:08:32.965
We fight with are not the weapons of the world.
00:08:33.032 --> 00:08:35.101
The weapons of the world. on the contrary,
00:08:35.167 --> 00:08:36.969
On the contrary, they have divine power
00:08:37.036 --> 00:08:39.005
They have divine power to demolish strongholds."
00:08:39.071 --> 00:08:41.641
To demolish strongholds." what's the stronghold?
00:08:41.707 --> 00:08:43.309
What's the stronghold? in military terms is a place
00:08:43.376 --> 00:08:44.844
In military terms is a place that you go to seek refuge,
00:08:44.911 --> 00:08:47.513
That you go to seek refuge, a stronghold,
00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.048
A stronghold, where you set up to do a battle
00:08:49.115 --> 00:08:50.583
Where you set up to do a battle where the enemy can get to you.
00:08:50.650 --> 00:08:52.985
Where the enemy can get to you. or it can become a place
00:08:53.052 --> 00:08:55.054
Or it can become a place where the enemy traps you in.
00:08:55.121 --> 00:09:01.994
Where the enemy traps you in. he says, what happens
00:09:02.061 --> 00:09:03.629
He says, what happens in a physical battle
00:09:03.696 --> 00:09:05.665
In a physical battle can happen mentally,
00:09:05.731 --> 00:09:07.266
Can happen mentally, spiritually, emotionally,
00:09:07.333 --> 00:09:10.069
Spiritually, emotionally, to any one of us at any time.
00:09:10.136 --> 00:09:12.872
To any one of us at any time. see, because it is
00:09:12.939 --> 00:09:14.006
See, because it is with the thought that
00:09:14.073 --> 00:09:15.341
I can experience god.
00:09:15.441 --> 00:09:17.176
I can experience god. i can catch a thought of jesus
00:09:17.243 --> 00:09:19.579

00:09:19.645 --> 00:09:21.047
And his grace for me and his love for me
00:09:21.113 --> 00:09:22.648
And his love for me and his mercy toward me.
00:09:22.715 --> 00:09:24.083
And his mercy toward me. and that thought can move me
00:09:24.150 --> 00:09:26.352
And that thought can move me to worship him
00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:27.486
To worship him in the beauty of holiness,
00:09:27.553 --> 00:09:29.589
In the beauty of holiness, in the splendor
00:09:29.655 --> 00:09:30.823
Of his magnificence.
00:09:30.923 --> 00:09:32.592
Of his magnificence. in fact, i want to say this,
00:09:32.658 --> 00:09:34.093
In fact, i want to say this, one thought of jesus
00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:36.028
One thought of jesus can lift you above
00:09:36.095 --> 00:09:37.296
Can lift you above any wave of worry.
00:09:37.363 --> 00:09:38.965
Any wave of worry. one thought of jesus.

One thought of jesus. have you been --
00:09:41.033 --> 00:09:42.134
Have you been -- have you been having trouble
00:09:42.201 --> 00:09:42.802
Have you been having trouble breathing this week?
00:09:42.868 --> 00:09:44.170
Breathing this week? get a thought on your mind
00:09:44.236 --> 00:09:45.538
Get a thought on your mind of the goodness of god.
00:09:45.605 --> 00:09:47.273
Of the goodness of god. you see that battle
00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:48.240

One thought can lift me out of the pit?
00:09:56.949 --> 00:09:57.850
Out of the pit? one thought.
00:09:57.917 --> 00:10:01.020
But as a stronghold,
00:10:06.359 --> 00:10:07.793
But as a stronghold, can also ensnare you.
00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:11.063
Can also ensnare you. a thought.
00:10:11.130 --> 00:10:12.632
A thought. i'm not enough.
00:10:12.698 --> 00:10:14.133
I'm not enough. thought,
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.601
Thought, i wonder what they're thinking
00:10:15.668 --> 00:10:16.435
I wonder what they're thinking about me right now --
00:10:16.502 --> 00:10:17.570
About me right now -- they're not.
00:10:17.637 --> 00:10:21.874
They're not. but that thought that thought

But that thought that thought this isn't going to end well,
00:10:24.877 --> 00:10:26.145
This isn't going to end well, that thought.
00:10:26.212 --> 00:10:27.246
That thought. i'm not what they think i am.
00:10:27.313 --> 00:10:30.449
I'm not what they think i am. here's one of --
00:10:30.516 --> 00:10:31.617
Here's one of -- here's one of my struggles.
00:10:31.684 --> 00:10:32.918
Here's one of my struggles. if they really knew you,
00:10:32.985 --> 00:10:36.489
If they really knew you, they wouldn't like you.
00:10:36.555 --> 00:10:39.325
They wouldn't like you. if they really knew --
00:10:39.392 --> 00:10:40.326
If they really knew -- because all of us
00:10:40.393 --> 00:10:41.260
Because all of us are bluffing.
00:10:41.327 --> 00:10:42.194

All of us are faking it. all your little cool friends
00:10:50.736 --> 00:10:52.038

Don't care how expensive your shoes are,
00:11:02.548 --> 00:11:03.549
Your shoes are, you ain't perfect.
00:11:03.616 --> 00:11:04.617
Paul, they were coming
00:11:12.925 --> 00:11:13.793
Paul, they were coming into church like,
00:11:13.859 --> 00:11:15.094
Into church like, oh, he's an imposter.
00:11:15.161 --> 00:11:17.563
Oh, he's an imposter. he's not a real one.
00:11:17.630 --> 00:11:19.665

A thought to rob them. you know,
00:11:22.968 --> 00:11:23.335
You know, the devil is a thief, right?
00:11:23.402 --> 00:11:25.204
The devil is a thief, right? he can't take your promise.
00:11:25.271 --> 00:11:27.173

His hunger when he's starving." a thief is just a thief.

When i survey, the wondrous cross,
00:14:04.563 --> 00:14:06.031
The wondrous cross, on which the prince of glory
00:14:06.098 --> 00:14:07.566
On which the prince of glory died, my riches came,

He said, we demolish strongholds.
00:14:31.490 --> 00:14:33.726
We demolish strongholds. how do we destroy it?
00:14:33.792 --> 00:14:36.295
How do we destroy it? verse five is important.
00:14:36.362 --> 00:14:38.163
Verse five is important. he said,
00:14:38.230 --> 00:14:39.064

Says we can't. and every pretension that self
00:14:45.204 --> 00:14:47.673
And every pretension that self sets itself up against the

Sets itself up against the knowledge of god.
00:14:49.275 --> 00:14:50.709
Knowledge of god. how many know something about
00:14:50.776 --> 00:14:51.777

That opposes what i know about god, what you can do about it?
00:15:09.995 --> 00:15:13.265
God, what you can do about it? i can't keep it from coming.

I can't keep it from coming. but he said we take captive
00:15:15.868 --> 00:15:20.506
But he said we take captive every thought to make
00:15:20.572 --> 00:15:23.042

And it led me to a hope. now, the thought

Now, the thought that you hold on to --
00:16:25.337 --> 00:16:27.639
That you hold on to -- the one that you allow
00:16:27.706 --> 00:16:28.540
The one that you allow to dominate;
00:16:28.607 --> 00:16:30.342
To dominate; that will be the stronghold

A glimpse of your calling, okay, here it is.
00:16:45.290 --> 00:16:47.893
Okay, here it is. there was a woman who was
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.028
There was a woman who was bleeding on the inside.
00:16:49.094 --> 00:16:52.898
Bleeding on the inside. she heard jesus coming through
00:16:52.965 --> 00:16:54.733
She heard jesus coming through her part of town.
00:16:54.800 --> 00:16:57.169
Her part of town. she had done everything to fix
00:16:57.236 --> 00:16:58.670
She had done everything to fix it at the level of the symptom,
00:16:58.737 --> 00:17:01.940

The condition that she had, was a deep one.
00:17:06.745 --> 00:17:08.614
Was a deep one. it was causing her

It was causing her to hemorrhage and lose blood.
00:17:09.548 --> 00:17:12.584
To hemorrhage and lose blood. just like many of us

For a change caused her to do something dramatic in her life,
00:17:26.598 --> 00:17:29.134
Something dramatic in her life, because she had gotten

As so many of us do, i think that's the thing

I think that's the thing the devil just tries to get you
00:22:32.904 --> 00:22:34.406
The devil just tries to get you to believe over and over again
00:22:34.473 --> 00:22:35.774
To believe over and over again in different ways.
00:22:35.841 --> 00:22:36.341
Have you found yourself
00:22:37.008 --> 00:22:37.609
Believing lies from the enemy?"
00:22:37.709 --> 00:22:39.544
That's how loneliness
00:22:39.644 --> 00:22:40.645
Begins to creep in.
00:22:40.746 --> 00:22:41.413
I think it's the loneliest
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:42.914
I think it's the loneliest thing in the world to have
00:22:42.981 --> 00:22:43.682
Thing in the world to have people around you,
00:22:43.749 --> 00:22:44.583
People around you, but you can't really touch them
00:22:44.649 --> 00:22:45.884
But you can't really touch them and connect with them
00:22:45.951 --> 00:22:46.885
And connect with them for who you really are.
00:22:46.952 --> 00:22:48.653
For who you really are. because you just keep trying
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.554
Because you just keep trying to give 'em who you think
00:22:49.621 --> 00:22:50.322
To give 'em who you think you're supposed to be.
00:22:50.389 --> 00:22:51.323
Willing to meet you
00:22:55.293 --> 00:22:55.961
In that place.

And so, some of you
00:22:57.295 --> 00:22:58.063
And so, some of you are sitting in loneliness
00:22:58.130 --> 00:22:59.831
Are sitting in loneliness that was not chosen
00:22:59.898 --> 00:23:01.099
That was not chosen in this season of your life.
00:23:01.166 --> 00:23:02.801
In this season of your life. before god can get you out,
00:23:02.868 --> 00:23:05.404
Before god can get you out, he has to get in.
00:23:05.470 --> 00:23:06.705
He has to get in. he's getting in.
00:23:06.772 --> 00:23:08.073
