Life is all a matter of what you put on repeat in your mind,

You put on repeat in your mind, and in your heart.

00:00:49.069 --> 00:00:50.703
And if you repeat
00:00:51.071 --> 00:00:51.638
And if you repeat the wrong thing long enough,
00:00:51.704 --> 00:00:52.672
The wrong thing long enough, it starts to sound
00:00:52.739 --> 00:00:53.440
It starts to sound like it's true even
00:00:53.506 --> 00:00:54.174
Like it's true even though it's not true.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.508
Though it's not true. "i'll always be.
00:00:55.575 --> 00:00:56.176
"i'll always be. my mom was.

I can't deal with this." so when we say new loops,
00:01:00.947 --> 00:01:02.082
So when we say new loops, we're talking about
00:01:02.148 --> 00:01:02.882
We're talking about getting a new meditation
00:01:02.949 --> 00:01:04.617
Getting a new meditation in your heart that
00:01:04.684 --> 00:01:05.351
In your heart that comes from god.
00:01:05.418 --> 00:01:06.619
Comes from god. and we can't stop
00:01:06.686 --> 00:01:07.520
And we can't stop the enemy from lying,
00:01:07.587 --> 00:01:09.222
The enemy from lying, but if we can teach you
00:01:09.289 --> 00:01:10.056
But if we can teach you to identify when he's doing it,
00:01:10.123 --> 00:01:12.959
To identify when he's doing it, and if we can teach you how
00:01:13.026 --> 00:01:13.960
And if we can teach you how to tune into the voice
00:01:14.027 --> 00:01:14.961
To tune into the voice of the holy spirit that
00:01:15.028 --> 00:01:15.962
Of the holy spirit that is speaking a truth over you,
00:01:16.029 --> 00:01:18.064
Is speaking a truth over you, we can get you set free
00:01:18.131 --> 00:01:19.132
We can get you set free in some areas of your life
00:01:19.199 --> 00:01:20.467
In some areas of your life that you had become convinced
00:01:20.533 --> 00:01:21.801
That you had become convinced it always has to be this way.
00:01:21.868 --> 00:01:23.870
It always has to be this way. so we're praying
00:01:23.937 --> 00:01:24.604
So we're praying for new patterns.
00:01:24.671 --> 00:01:25.438
For new patterns. how many have been blessed
00:01:25.505 --> 00:01:26.573

2 kings 6. i was thinking about this jj,

I was thinking about this jj, probably one of the coolest
00:01:51.231 --> 00:01:53.500
Probably one of the coolest pictures that we get in
00:01:53.566 --> 00:01:54.534
Pictures that we get in the whole bible of when you
00:01:54.601 --> 00:01:57.337
The whole bible of when you feel overwhelmed and you
00:01:57.403 --> 00:01:59.439
Feel overwhelmed and you don't know what to do.
00:01:59.506 --> 00:02:01.274
Don't know what to do. one of the clearest pictures
00:02:01.341 --> 00:02:02.408
One of the clearest pictures that we get of what to do,

Please, starting verse 8. 2 kings 6:8.
00:02:16.589 --> 00:02:20.627
"now the king of aram
00:02:20.727 --> 00:02:22.829
Was at war with israel.
00:02:22.929 --> 00:02:24.397
After conferring
00:02:24.464 --> 00:02:25.131
With his officers,
00:02:25.198 --> 00:02:25.899
He said, 'i will set up my camp
00:02:25.965 --> 00:02:27.867
In such and such a place.'
00:02:27.934 --> 00:02:29.936
The man of god sent word
00:02:30.003 --> 00:02:31.037
To the king of israel:
00:02:31.104 --> 00:02:31.938
'beware of passing that place,
00:02:32.005 --> 00:02:32.939
Because the arameans
00:02:33.006 --> 00:02:33.973
Are going down there.'
00:02:34.073 --> 00:02:35.475
Are going down there.' so the king of israel checked
00:02:35.542 --> 00:02:36.809
So the king of israel checked on the place indicated
00:02:36.876 --> 00:02:38.044
On the place indicated by the man of god.
00:02:38.111 --> 00:02:39.879
By the man of god. time and again elisha warned
00:02:39.946 --> 00:02:42.282
Time and again elisha warned the king, so that he was
00:02:42.348 --> 00:02:44.150
The king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
00:02:44.217 --> 00:02:45.852
On his guard in such places. this enraged the king of aram.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.154
This enraged the king of aram. he summoned his officers
00:02:48.221 --> 00:02:49.255
He summoned his officers and commanded of them,
00:02:49.322 --> 00:02:50.990
And commanded of them, or demanded of them,
00:02:51.057 --> 00:02:52.559
Or demanded of them, 'tell me!
00:02:52.625 --> 00:02:53.660
'tell me! which of us is on the side
00:02:53.726 --> 00:02:55.195
Which of us is on the side of the king of israel?'
00:02:55.261 --> 00:02:56.329
Of the king of israel?' 'none of us, my lord the king,'
00:02:56.396 --> 00:02:58.398
'none of us, my lord the king,' said one of his officers,
00:02:58.464 --> 00:03:00.033
Said one of his officers, 'but elisha,
00:03:00.099 --> 00:03:01.634
'but elisha, the prophet who is in israel,
00:03:01.701 --> 00:03:03.136
The prophet who is in israel, tells the king of israel
00:03:03.203 --> 00:03:04.204
Tells the king of israel the very words you speak
00:03:04.270 --> 00:03:05.772
The very words you speak in your bedroom.'
00:03:05.838 --> 00:03:07.707
In your bedroom.' 'go, find out where he is,'
00:03:07.774 --> 00:03:08.975
'go, find out where he is,' the king ordered,
00:03:09.042 --> 00:03:09.409
The king ordered, 'so i can send men
00:03:09.475 --> 00:03:11.611
'so i can send men and capture him.'
00:03:11.678 --> 00:03:12.512
And capture him.' and the report came back,
00:03:12.579 --> 00:03:14.280
And the report came back, 'he is in dothan.'"
00:03:14.347 --> 00:03:16.516
'he is in dothan.'" he is in dothan.
00:03:16.583 --> 00:03:18.251
He is in dothan. "then he sent horses
00:03:18.318 --> 00:03:19.352
"then he sent horses and chariots and a strong
00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:20.653
And chariots and a strong force there.
00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:22.455
Force there. they went by night
00:03:22.522 --> 00:03:23.456
They went by night and surrounded the city."
00:03:23.523 --> 00:03:25.692
And surrounded the city." now, verse 15, it gets good.
00:03:25.758 --> 00:03:28.127
Now, verse 15, it gets good. "when the servant of the man
00:03:28.194 --> 00:03:29.929
"when the servant of the man of god got up and went out early
00:03:29.996 --> 00:03:32.298
Of god got up and went out early the next morning,
00:03:32.365 --> 00:03:34.100
The next morning, an army with horses
00:03:34.167 --> 00:03:35.635
And chariots had surrounded
00:03:35.735 --> 00:03:36.636
The city.
00:03:36.703 --> 00:03:38.404
'oh no, my lord!
00:03:38.471 --> 00:03:40.240
What shall we do?'
00:03:40.306 --> 00:03:41.474
The servant asked."
00:03:41.541 --> 00:03:43.476
And i want you to really
00:03:43.576 --> 00:03:44.844
And i want you to really pay attention to how
00:03:44.911 --> 00:03:46.079
Pay attention to how the prophet answered.
00:03:46.145 --> 00:03:47.413
The prophet answered. "don't be afraid."
00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:51.718
"don't be afraid." don't be afraid.
00:03:51.784 --> 00:03:54.921
Don't be afraid. what do you mean don't be afraid
00:03:54.988 --> 00:03:58.424
When we are surrounded
00:03:58.524 --> 00:04:00.360
When we are surrounded on every side?
00:04:00.426 --> 00:04:01.160
On every side? no, no, no, no, don't be afraid,
00:04:01.227 --> 00:04:04.998
No, no, no, no, don't be afraid, because it cannot sink you
00:04:05.064 --> 00:04:06.633
Because it cannot sink you if it surrounds you.
00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:08.568
If it surrounds you. it can only sink you
00:04:08.635 --> 00:04:10.169
It can only sink you if it submerges you.
00:04:10.236 --> 00:04:13.406
If it submerges you. so, regardless of what you see
00:04:13.473 --> 00:04:15.775
So, regardless of what you see with your senses,
00:04:15.842 --> 00:04:17.043
With your senses, don't be afraid.
00:04:17.110 --> 00:04:19.078
"those who are with us are more
00:04:19.178 --> 00:04:23.116
"those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
00:04:23.182 --> 00:04:25.885
Than those who are with them." isn't that good?
00:04:25.952 --> 00:04:26.853
Isn't that good? and elisha prayed.
00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:28.621
And elisha prayed. "and elisha prayed,
00:04:28.688 --> 00:04:29.756
"and elisha prayed, 'open his eyes,
00:04:29.822 --> 00:04:30.790
'open his eyes, lord, so that he may see.'
00:04:30.857 --> 00:04:33.626
Lord, so that he may see.' then the lord opened
00:04:33.693 --> 00:04:34.527
Then the lord opened the servant's eyes,
00:04:34.594 --> 00:04:35.928
The servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills
00:04:35.995 --> 00:04:38.665
And he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots
00:04:38.731 --> 00:04:41.034
Full of horses and chariots of fire all around elisha."
00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:44.937
Of fire all around elisha." one more verse

What i'm going through right now on the outside,

I reckon that that is not worth comparing with

The glory that will

00:05:41.794 --> 00:05:44.030
>> keep it in context. keep it in context.
00:05:44.097 --> 00:05:46.866
Keep it in context. father, i pray that you would
00:05:46.933 --> 00:05:47.967
Father, i pray that you would illuminate what you're doing
00:05:48.034 --> 00:05:49.369
Illuminate what you're doing in our situation.
00:05:49.435 --> 00:05:51.037
In our situation. thank you that you already
00:05:51.104 --> 00:05:51.804
Thank you that you already were speaking while
00:05:51.871 --> 00:05:52.772
Were speaking while your word was being read.
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.440
Your word was being read. now make it so personal
00:05:54.507 --> 00:05:55.742
Now make it so personal that people squirm.
00:05:55.808 --> 00:05:57.643
That people squirm. like, has he been following
00:05:57.710 --> 00:05:58.611
Like, has he been following me around this week?
00:05:58.678 --> 00:05:59.812
Me around this week? because you have been following
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:00.813
Because you have been following them around this week.
00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:01.781
Them around this week. surely goodness and mercy will
00:06:01.848 --> 00:06:03.616
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days
00:06:03.683 --> 00:06:05.017
Follow me all the days of my life.
00:06:05.084 --> 00:06:06.853
Of my life. thank you for speaking, lord.
00:06:06.919 --> 00:06:08.221
Thank you for speaking, lord. in jesus name, amen.
00:06:08.287 --> 00:06:10.823
In jesus name, amen. you may be seated.
00:06:10.890 --> 00:06:15.228
You may be seated. in the bible, the kinds
00:06:15.294 --> 00:06:21.868
In the bible, the kinds of conversations that we get
00:06:21.934 --> 00:06:23.269
Of conversations that we get to hear are really crazy if you
00:06:23.336 --> 00:06:26.773
To hear are really crazy if you step back and think about it.
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.509
Step back and think about it. to get to hear elisha,
00:06:29.575 --> 00:06:30.843
To get to hear elisha, one of the greatest prophets
00:06:30.910 --> 00:06:32.412
One of the greatest prophets that god ever made
00:06:32.478 --> 00:06:34.080
That god ever made as he is dealing
00:06:34.147 --> 00:06:34.947
As he is dealing with the situation that
00:06:35.014 --> 00:06:35.948
With the situation that is beyond his control,
00:06:36.015 --> 00:06:38.017
Is beyond his control, and how he advises his young
00:06:38.084 --> 00:06:39.485
And how he advises his young servant is really an incredible
00:06:39.552 --> 00:06:42.255
Servant is really an incredible master class
00:06:42.321 --> 00:06:43.122
Master class for us in our minds.
00:06:43.189 --> 00:06:45.691
For us in our minds. and i think it's amazing
00:06:45.758 --> 00:06:46.759
And i think it's amazing in this conversation how
00:06:46.826 --> 00:06:49.061
In this conversation how the servant wakes up
00:06:49.128 --> 00:06:50.029
The servant wakes up and sees something that
00:06:50.096 --> 00:06:51.597
And sees something that is so much bigger than him.
00:06:51.664 --> 00:06:53.966
Is so much bigger than him. and the prophet
00:06:54.033 --> 00:06:54.667
And the prophet essentially says,
00:06:54.734 --> 00:06:56.569
Essentially says, don't make it bigger
00:06:56.636 --> 00:06:57.336
Don't make it bigger than it is.
00:06:57.403 --> 00:06:59.305
Than it is. don't make it bigger than it is.
00:06:59.372 --> 00:07:02.041
Don't make it bigger than it is. in every marriage, there's one
00:07:02.108 --> 00:07:03.409
In every marriage, there's one person who makes things
00:07:03.476 --> 00:07:05.144
Person who makes things bigger than they are.
00:07:05.211 --> 00:07:09.148
Bigger than they are. in my marriage --
00:07:09.215 --> 00:07:11.384
In my marriage -- let me go ahead and give you
00:07:11.451 --> 00:07:12.218
Let me go ahead and give you a framework for my marriage.
00:07:12.285 --> 00:07:14.053
A framework for my marriage. did y'all see the movie
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:14.787
Did y'all see the movie "inside out"?
00:07:14.854 --> 00:07:16.022
"inside out"? >> congregation: yes.
00:07:16.088 --> 00:07:16.823
>> congregation: yes. >> did y'all see "inside out 2"?
00:07:16.889 --> 00:07:18.458
>> did y'all see "inside out 2"? >> congregation: yes.
00:07:18.524 --> 00:07:19.358
>> congregation: yes. >> alright.
00:07:19.425 --> 00:07:19.792
>> alright. our family went
00:07:19.859 --> 00:07:20.326
Our family went to see "inside out 2"
00:07:20.393 --> 00:07:21.227
To see "inside out 2" because in "inside out"
00:07:21.294 --> 00:07:22.628
Because in "inside out" the little girl has
00:07:22.695 --> 00:07:23.729
The little girl has all these emotions
00:07:23.796 --> 00:07:25.198
All these emotions and they're personified
00:07:25.264 --> 00:07:26.499
And they're personified by characters that sit
00:07:26.566 --> 00:07:27.867
By characters that sit at the control panel.
00:07:27.934 --> 00:07:29.168
At the control panel. and so, you've got sadness
00:07:29.235 --> 00:07:30.837
And so, you've got sadness and disgust,
00:07:30.903 --> 00:07:31.637
And disgust, and joy and anxiety.
00:07:31.704 --> 00:07:33.539
And joy and anxiety. and in "inside out 2," joy
00:07:33.606 --> 00:07:36.075
And in "inside out 2," joy and anxiety are always battling
00:07:36.142 --> 00:07:37.810
And anxiety are always battling each other inside of her mind.
00:07:37.877 --> 00:07:40.112
Each other inside of her mind. so we went to see the movie
00:07:40.179 --> 00:07:41.247
So we went to see the movie this summer and we were going
00:07:41.314 --> 00:07:42.181
This summer and we were going out to eat.
00:07:42.248 --> 00:07:43.449
Out to eat. and on the way
00:07:43.516 --> 00:07:44.283
And on the way to the restaurant, i found
00:07:44.350 --> 00:07:46.185
To the restaurant, i found out that this restaurant
00:07:46.252 --> 00:07:47.720
Out that this restaurant might be closed,
00:07:47.787 --> 00:07:49.155
Might be closed, not would be closed,
00:07:49.222 --> 00:07:50.456
Not would be closed, might be closed.
00:07:50.523 --> 00:07:51.858
Might be closed. and you think to yourself,
00:07:51.924 --> 00:07:53.125
And you think to yourself, "that's not a big deal."
00:07:53.192 --> 00:07:54.760
"that's not a big deal." but to my mind, the restaurant
00:07:54.827 --> 00:07:56.128
But to my mind, the restaurant being closed is an unacceptable
00:07:56.195 --> 00:07:58.297
Being closed is an unacceptable first domino in what
00:07:58.364 --> 00:07:59.665
First domino in what could be a very bad day.
00:07:59.732 --> 00:08:01.968
Could be a very bad day. i feel like if everybody's blood
00:08:02.034 --> 00:08:03.002
Sugar crashes to a certain point
00:08:03.102 --> 00:08:05.471
Sugar crashes to a certain point then it may cause
00:08:05.538 --> 00:08:06.239
Then it may cause the kids to fight.
00:08:06.305 --> 00:08:07.206
The kids to fight. if the kids fight too much,
00:08:07.273 --> 00:08:08.140
If the kids fight too much, it may cause me to respond
00:08:08.207 --> 00:08:09.408
It may cause me to respond in a terrible way.
00:08:09.475 --> 00:08:10.309
In a terrible way. if i respond in a terrible way,
00:08:10.376 --> 00:08:11.577
If i respond in a terrible way, i'm gonna feel shame,
00:08:11.644 --> 00:08:12.345
I'm gonna feel shame, i'm gonna have to humble
00:08:12.411 --> 00:08:13.212
I'm gonna have to humble myself and apologize.
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.047
Myself and apologize. and so, as i'm going back
00:08:15.114 --> 00:08:16.048
And so, as i'm going back and forth with holly in
00:08:16.115 --> 00:08:17.116
The car driving
00:08:17.216 --> 00:08:17.950
The car driving to the restaurant that
00:08:18.017 --> 00:08:18.618
To the restaurant that might be closed,
00:08:18.684 --> 00:08:19.318
Might be closed, not is closed,
00:08:19.385 --> 00:08:20.086
Not is closed, might be closed,
00:08:20.152 --> 00:08:21.587
Might be closed, and talking to her
00:08:21.654 --> 00:08:22.221
And talking to her about how unacceptable
00:08:22.288 --> 00:08:22.955
About how unacceptable the outcome of the restaurant
00:08:23.022 --> 00:08:23.956
The outcome of the restaurant being closed would be,
00:08:24.023 --> 00:08:25.558
Being closed would be, graham says from the back seat,
00:08:25.625 --> 00:08:27.193
Graham says from the back seat, "you know,
00:08:27.260 --> 00:08:27.760
"you know, watching mom and dad talk
00:08:27.827 --> 00:08:29.161
Watching mom and dad talk is literally like watching
00:08:29.228 --> 00:08:30.263
Is literally like watching a conversation between
00:08:30.329 --> 00:08:31.664
A conversation between anxiety and joy."
00:08:31.731 --> 00:08:32.932
[laughter]
00:08:33.332 --> 00:08:34.700
Now, in the passage that
00:08:35.334 --> 00:08:37.570
Now, in the passage that i read to you, it's literally
00:08:37.637 --> 00:08:40.439
I read to you, it's literally like watching a conversation
00:08:40.506 --> 00:08:42.842
Like watching a conversation between the wisdom
00:08:42.909 --> 00:08:43.876
Between the wisdom of the experience
00:08:43.943 --> 00:08:45.645
Of the experience of the older prophet elisha
00:08:45.711 --> 00:08:47.747
Of the older prophet elisha and his young servant
00:08:47.813 --> 00:08:49.081
And his young servant who has never faced a situation
00:08:49.148 --> 00:08:50.516
Who has never faced a situation like this before.
00:08:50.583 --> 00:08:52.685
Like this before. i've never faced a situation
00:08:52.752 --> 00:08:53.986
I've never faced a situation like this before.
00:08:54.053 --> 00:08:55.922
Like this before. i've never been in
00:08:55.988 --> 00:08:56.689
I've never been in this stage of life before.
00:08:56.756 --> 00:08:58.791
This stage of life before. and we get through
00:08:58.858 --> 00:09:00.893
And we get through the miraculous conservation
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.194
The miraculous conservation of the scriptures an inside,
00:09:02.261 --> 00:09:05.565
Of the scriptures an inside, and in some ways candid
00:09:05.631 --> 00:09:08.234
And in some ways candid seat to this conversation.
00:09:08.301 --> 00:09:10.670
Seat to this conversation. and the prophet says,
00:09:10.736 --> 00:09:11.537
And the prophet says, "don't make it bigger
00:09:11.604 --> 00:09:12.238
"don't make it bigger than it is."
00:09:12.305 --> 00:09:12.772
Than it is." now that's a crazy thing
00:09:12.838 --> 00:09:13.839
Now that's a crazy thing to say when you're surrounded
00:09:13.906 --> 00:09:15.174
To say when you're surrounded by horses and chariots.
00:09:15.241 --> 00:09:17.109
By horses and chariots. because whatever it is that
00:09:17.176 --> 00:09:18.911
Because whatever it is that you're going through today
00:09:18.978 --> 00:09:20.046
You're going through today in your life, it's not this.
00:09:20.112 --> 00:09:21.347
In your life, it's not this. can we all agree?
00:09:21.414 --> 00:09:22.515
Can we all agree? it's not this.
00:09:22.582 --> 00:09:24.450
It's not this. this man is a national
00:09:24.517 --> 00:09:25.551
This man is a national security threat.
00:09:25.618 --> 00:09:26.586
Security threat. it's not this.
00:09:26.652 --> 00:09:27.753
It's not this. they're not all coming
00:09:27.820 --> 00:09:28.588
They're not all coming to get you,
00:09:28.654 --> 00:09:29.388
To get you, although our minds will try
00:09:29.455 --> 00:09:30.122
Although our minds will try to tell us that it is.
00:09:30.189 --> 00:09:32.758
To tell us that it is. so, in our relationship,
00:09:32.825 --> 00:09:34.060
So, in our relationship, holly is always
00:09:34.126 --> 00:09:34.794
Holly is always the one who says,
00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:36.395
The one who says, "it's not a big deal."
00:09:36.462 --> 00:09:37.930
"it's not a big deal." even yesterday i was preparing
00:09:37.997 --> 00:09:38.998
Even yesterday i was preparing this message for you,
00:09:39.065 --> 00:09:41.033
This message for you, and as i was sitting
00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:41.701
And as i was sitting down to study,
00:09:41.767 --> 00:09:42.501
Down to study, she was flying
00:09:42.568 --> 00:09:43.703
She was flying to a speaking engagement.
00:09:43.769 --> 00:09:45.771
To a speaking engagement. and she started texting me,
00:09:45.838 --> 00:09:46.973
And she started texting me, and i was looking for an
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:47.773
And i was looking for an illustration to talk about how
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.875
Illustration to talk about how sometimes my mind tries to make
00:09:49.942 --> 00:09:51.177
Sometimes my mind tries to make it bigger than it is.
00:09:51.243 --> 00:09:52.912
It bigger than it is. and she started texting
00:09:52.979 --> 00:09:53.746
And she started texting me about a flight delay.
00:09:53.813 --> 00:09:55.848
Me about a flight delay. now, she's the one flying,
00:09:55.915 --> 00:09:57.149
Now, she's the one flying, i'm not,
00:09:57.216 --> 00:09:58.618
I'm not, but i'm the one freaking out,
00:09:58.684 --> 00:10:00.152
But i'm the one freaking out, not her.
00:10:00.219 --> 00:10:01.721
Not her. because i texted,
00:10:01.787 --> 00:10:02.822
Because i texted, "oh no, this is horrible."
00:10:02.888 --> 00:10:03.990
"oh no, this is horrible." she said, "no, it's fine."
00:10:04.056 --> 00:10:05.591
She said, "no, it's fine." and i was like,
00:10:05.658 --> 00:10:06.092
And i was like, "no it's not fine,
00:10:06.158 --> 00:10:07.360
"no it's not fine, because why do they always
00:10:07.426 --> 00:10:08.394
Because why do they always just get to delay our flights
00:10:08.461 --> 00:10:10.396
Just get to delay our flights whenever they want to?
00:10:10.463 --> 00:10:12.031
Whenever they want to? somebody needs to say something
00:10:12.098 --> 00:10:13.299
Somebody needs to say something about this and do something
00:10:13.366 --> 00:10:14.400
About this and do something about this.
00:10:14.467 --> 00:10:15.668
About this. this is unfair, this is unjust.
00:10:15.735 --> 00:10:19.171
This is unfair, this is unjust. this is actually a --
00:10:19.238 --> 00:10:20.740
This is actually a -- this is actually bigger
00:10:20.806 --> 00:10:21.774
This is actually bigger than just your
00:10:21.841 --> 00:10:22.341
Than just your flight today, holly.
00:10:22.408 --> 00:10:23.542
Flight today, holly. this is actually a way
00:10:23.609 --> 00:10:25.011
This is actually a way that they're treating consumers
00:10:25.077 --> 00:10:26.312
That they're treating consumers that is unacceptable.
00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:27.179
[laughter]
00:10:27.613 --> 00:10:28.781
I mean, you paid for the ticket.
00:10:29.715 --> 00:10:31.283
I mean, you paid for the ticket. this is not a prison you're in,
00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:33.052
This is not a prison you're in, this is an actual place that
00:10:33.119 --> 00:10:34.453
This is an actual place that you've paid to be and you have
00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:36.222
You've paid to be and you have a place that you need to be.
00:10:36.288 --> 00:10:37.923
A place that you need to be. and you are not gonna get
00:10:37.990 --> 00:10:39.025
And you are not gonna get to the place that you need
00:10:39.091 --> 00:10:40.159
To the place that you need to be because the place
00:10:40.226 --> 00:10:41.427
To be because the place that you paid to be did
00:10:41.494 --> 00:10:42.795
That you paid to be did not provide the service to --"
00:10:42.862 --> 00:10:44.563
Not provide the service to --" have you ever tried to work
00:10:44.630 --> 00:10:45.931
Have you ever tried to work somebody who was like,
00:10:45.998 --> 00:10:47.633
Somebody who was like, "it's not a big deal"
00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:48.734
"it's not a big deal" into a "oh yes
00:10:48.801 --> 00:10:49.468
Into a "oh yes it is a big deal" situation?
00:10:49.535 --> 00:10:51.003
[laughter]
00:10:51.303 --> 00:10:52.905
And that's me and her.
00:10:53.272 --> 00:10:54.106
And that's me and her. i'm outraged,
00:10:54.173 --> 00:10:55.074
I'm outraged, she's drinking starbucks.
00:10:55.141 --> 00:10:56.442
She's drinking starbucks. for her it's extra time,
00:10:56.509 --> 00:10:59.011
For her it's extra time, for me it is a travesty
00:10:59.078 --> 00:11:01.514
For me it is a travesty of travel justice.
00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:03.783
Of travel justice. anxiety and joy just having
00:11:03.849 --> 00:11:06.018
Anxiety and joy just having a conversation, you know.
00:11:06.085 --> 00:11:07.853
A conversation, you know. "it's not a big deal.'
00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:08.721
"it's not a big deal.' 'yes it is!
00:11:08.788 --> 00:11:09.922
'yes it is! because if you don't make
00:11:09.989 --> 00:11:10.990
Because if you don't make it to the event --'"
00:11:11.057 --> 00:11:12.024
It to the event --'" see, here's the thing
00:11:12.091 --> 00:11:12.692
See, here's the thing i found out,
00:11:12.758 --> 00:11:13.959
I found out, when a flight gets delayed
00:11:14.026 --> 00:11:15.361
When a flight gets delayed for me my mind opens a file.
00:11:15.428 --> 00:11:19.665
For me my mind opens a file. write this down.
00:11:19.732 --> 00:11:20.599
Write this down. my mind has files.
00:11:20.666 --> 00:11:24.203
My mind has files. did you know that?
00:11:24.270 --> 00:11:25.171
Did you know that? your mind has files.
00:11:25.237 --> 00:11:27.673
Your mind has files. and so when a flight
00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:28.407
And so when a flight gets delayed,
00:11:28.474 --> 00:11:30.309
Gets delayed, it opens a file
00:11:30.376 --> 00:11:31.310
It opens a file in my mind called
00:11:31.377 --> 00:11:32.311
In my mind called "every time a flight got delayed
00:11:32.378 --> 00:11:34.346
"every time a flight got delayed and then got delayed again,
00:11:34.413 --> 00:11:35.815
And then got delayed again."
00:11:35.915 --> 00:11:38.250
And then got delayed again." so when she said,
00:11:38.317 --> 00:11:39.285
So when she said, "my flight is delayed,"
00:11:39.351 --> 00:11:40.319
"my flight is delayed," she's like,
00:11:40.386 --> 00:11:41.120
She's like, "it's fine."
00:11:41.187 --> 00:11:42.021
"it's fine." that's her file.
00:11:42.088 --> 00:11:43.255
That's her file. holly has this huge file called,
00:11:43.322 --> 00:11:45.591
Holly has this huge file called, "it's fine."
00:11:45.658 --> 00:11:46.892
"it's fine." "it'll be fine.
00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:47.960
"it'll be fine. it's gonna be fine.
00:11:48.027 --> 00:11:49.261
It's gonna be fine. if the restaurant isn't open,
00:11:49.328 --> 00:11:50.496
If the restaurant isn't open, it'll be fine.
00:11:50.563 --> 00:11:51.697
We're not gonna starve,
00:11:51.797 --> 00:11:52.765
We're not gonna starve, it'll be fine.
00:11:52.832 --> 00:11:53.666
It'll be fine. we could even turn
00:11:53.733 --> 00:11:54.400
We could even turn it into a fast,
00:11:54.467 --> 00:11:55.267
It into a fast, it'll be fine."
00:11:55.334 --> 00:11:56.202
It'll be fine." the biggest file
00:11:56.268 --> 00:11:57.069
The biggest file in her mind is called,
00:11:57.136 --> 00:11:59.338
In her mind is called, "it's fine."
00:11:59.405 --> 00:12:00.473
"it's fine." so when the flight is delayed,
00:12:00.539 --> 00:12:02.141
So when the flight is delayed, holly's like, "it's fine.
00:12:02.208 --> 00:12:04.076
Holly's like, "it's fine. it's been fine
00:12:04.143 --> 00:12:04.810
It's been fine so many times before.
00:12:04.877 --> 00:12:06.178
So many times before. there have been so many times
00:12:06.245 --> 00:12:07.580
There have been so many times that it has been fine that it
00:12:07.646 --> 00:12:09.315
That it has been fine that it is going to be fine right now.
00:12:09.381 --> 00:12:10.850
Is going to be fine right now. i did the calculation,
00:12:10.916 --> 00:12:11.751
I did the calculation, the tabulation and the math,
00:12:11.817 --> 00:12:13.119
The tabulation and the math, and it is going to be
00:12:13.185 --> 00:12:13.953
And it is going to be absolutely fine that
00:12:14.019 --> 00:12:15.054
Absolutely fine that the flight is delayed because
00:12:15.121 --> 00:12:16.188
The flight is delayed because we can still get there
00:12:16.255 --> 00:12:17.723
We can still get there because i built in buffer."
00:12:17.790 --> 00:12:18.824
Because i built in buffer." but i'm thinking,
00:12:18.891 --> 00:12:19.592
But i'm thinking, "no, this is just
00:12:19.658 --> 00:12:21.160
"no, this is just the first in a series
00:12:21.227 --> 00:12:23.629
The first in a series of horrible things."
00:12:23.696 --> 00:12:25.431
Of horrible things." and i go back to when we went
00:12:25.498 --> 00:12:27.066
And i go back to when we went to atlanta to record a preaching
00:12:27.133 --> 00:12:28.801
To atlanta to record a preaching series and we were late,
00:12:28.868 --> 00:12:30.836
Series and we were late, and we didn't get there
00:12:30.903 --> 00:12:31.704
And we didn't get there in time because the flight
00:12:31.771 --> 00:12:33.072
In time because the flight was delayed.
00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:33.906
Was delayed. this was 15 years ago.
00:12:33.973 --> 00:12:35.808
This was 15 years ago. and they were so mad at me
00:12:35.875 --> 00:12:37.443
And they were so mad at me for not showing up
00:12:37.510 --> 00:12:38.410
For not showing up at the taping that they
00:12:38.477 --> 00:12:39.678
At the taping that they banned me from the network,
00:12:39.745 --> 00:12:41.647
Banned me from the network, from ever appearing
00:12:41.714 --> 00:12:42.748
From ever appearing on the network.
00:12:42.815 --> 00:12:43.849
On the network. and the ministry was so small.
00:12:43.916 --> 00:12:45.818
And the ministry was so small. to me that was the worst thing
00:12:45.885 --> 00:12:47.186
To me that was the worst thing that could ever happen.
00:12:47.253 --> 00:12:48.020
That could ever happen. so when she says the flight
00:12:48.087 --> 00:12:49.655
So when she says the flight is delayed i'm like,
00:12:49.722 --> 00:12:51.056
Is delayed i'm like, "you're about to get banned!"
00:12:51.123 --> 00:12:52.591
"you're about to get banned!" i don't know
00:12:52.658 --> 00:12:53.225
I don't know who's gonna ban her,
00:12:53.292 --> 00:12:54.126
Who's gonna ban her, what they're gonna
00:12:54.193 --> 00:12:54.693
What they're gonna ban her from,
00:12:54.760 --> 00:12:55.761
Ban her from, but for some reason a mild
00:12:55.828 --> 00:12:57.329
But for some reason a mild inconvenience in my mind,
00:12:57.396 --> 00:12:58.864
Inconvenience in my mind, watch this,
00:12:58.931 --> 00:12:59.665
Watch this, opened a file called,
00:12:59.732 --> 00:13:01.100
Opened a file called, "when this happens
00:13:01.167 --> 00:13:02.601
"when this happens this can happen."
00:13:02.668 --> 00:13:03.803
This can happen." even if it's not in the probable
00:13:03.869 --> 00:13:05.271
Even if it's not in the probable odds of it,
00:13:05.337 --> 00:13:06.038
Odds of it, there is a chance,
00:13:06.105 --> 00:13:07.006
There is a chance, one they start this crap,
00:13:07.072 --> 00:13:09.108
One they start this crap, once they say,
00:13:09.175 --> 00:13:10.242
Once they say, "we're delayed by ten minutes,"
00:13:10.309 --> 00:13:12.044
"we're delayed by ten minutes," that's just the first lie.
00:13:12.111 --> 00:13:14.013
That's just the first lie. and now the file opens
00:13:14.079 --> 00:13:15.447
And now the file opens of every lie that they
00:13:15.514 --> 00:13:16.715
Of every lie that they ever told me on an intercom
00:13:16.782 --> 00:13:18.684
Ever told me on an intercom about the flight
00:13:18.751 --> 00:13:19.585
About the flight is gonna be fine,
00:13:19.652 --> 00:13:20.586
Is gonna be fine, 'cause sometimes
00:13:20.653 --> 00:13:21.353
'cause sometimes it's not fine!
00:13:21.420 --> 00:13:22.621
It's not fine! sometimes you get banned.
00:13:22.688 --> 00:13:24.056
[laughter]
00:13:24.590 --> 00:13:28.227
And the servant wakes up
00:13:31.497 --> 00:13:32.565
And the servant wakes up and sees the place surrounded
00:13:32.631 --> 00:13:34.200
And sees the place surrounded and says,
00:13:34.266 --> 00:13:34.800
And says, "it's not fine!
00:13:34.867 --> 00:13:37.469
"it's not fine! it's not fine.
00:13:37.536 --> 00:13:38.671
It's not fine. we're about to die!
00:13:38.737 --> 00:13:41.473
We're about to die! they have come
00:13:41.540 --> 00:13:42.174
They have come to capture you in dothan.
00:13:42.241 --> 00:13:43.776
To capture you in dothan. it's not fine!"
00:13:43.843 --> 00:13:45.911
It's not fine!" and elisha says,
00:13:45.978 --> 00:13:47.680
And elisha says, "don't be afraid,
00:13:47.746 --> 00:13:50.349
"don't be afraid, there's more with us
00:13:50.416 --> 00:13:52.585
There's more with us than with them."
00:13:52.651 --> 00:13:54.887
Than with them." i believe one of the contrasts
00:13:54.954 --> 00:13:56.188
I believe one of the contrasts in this passage that
00:13:56.255 --> 00:13:57.223
In this passage that make it very powerful is not
00:13:57.289 --> 00:13:59.258
Make it very powerful is not only that elisha was
00:13:59.325 --> 00:14:00.426
Only that elisha was the prophet and that the servant
00:14:00.492 --> 00:14:02.461
The prophet and that the servant was in an administrative
00:14:02.528 --> 00:14:04.096
Was in an administrative position where he had
00:14:04.163 --> 00:14:04.930
Position where he had to deal with details,
00:14:04.997 --> 00:14:06.866
To deal with details, but that elisha was a little
00:14:06.932 --> 00:14:07.900
But that elisha was a little older and the servant
00:14:07.967 --> 00:14:09.668
Older and the servant was a young man.
00:14:09.735 --> 00:14:11.770
Was a young man. and so, when elisha woke up
00:14:11.837 --> 00:14:13.339
And so, when elisha woke up that morning and saw the hills
00:14:13.405 --> 00:14:16.041
Surrounded with his enemies --
00:14:16.141 --> 00:14:17.409
Surrounded with his enemies -- and go ahead and bring me my
00:14:17.476 --> 00:14:18.344
And go ahead and bring me my teaching screen because i think
00:14:18.410 --> 00:14:19.378
Teaching screen because i think i need to draw this for you.
00:14:19.445 --> 00:14:21.080
I need to draw this for you. how many have been enjoying my
00:14:21.146 --> 00:14:22.348
How many have been enjoying my drawings of loops
00:14:22.414 --> 00:14:23.182
Drawings of loops all the last few weeks?
00:14:23.249 --> 00:14:24.016
[cheering and applause]
00:14:24.516 --> 00:14:27.319
I'm still waiting on someone
00:14:28.020 --> 00:14:28.687
I'm still waiting on someone to get a tattoo.
00:14:28.754 --> 00:14:30.856
To get a tattoo. a little loop tattoo.
00:14:30.923 --> 00:14:33.492
I know the book
00:14:33.592 --> 00:14:34.026
I know the book of leviticus says,
00:14:34.093 --> 00:14:34.827
Of leviticus says, but that's not
00:14:34.894 --> 00:14:35.294
But that's not what it means.
00:14:35.361 --> 00:14:35.694
What it means. you can get a tattoo
00:14:35.761 --> 00:14:36.395
You can get a tattoo if it's for the lord.
00:14:36.462 --> 00:14:37.329
[laughter]
00:14:37.796 --> 00:14:40.199
Now watch this,
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.567
Now watch this, that's gonna be the clip
00:14:41.634 --> 00:14:42.668
That's gonna be the clip that they're gonna put online.
00:14:42.735 --> 00:14:43.602
[laughter]
00:14:43.969 --> 00:14:47.072
But they won't keep
00:14:47.706 --> 00:14:48.340
But they won't keep it in context.
00:14:48.407 --> 00:14:51.176
[cheering and applause]
00:14:52.411 --> 00:14:58.417
Okay.
00:14:59.151 --> 00:15:00.019
Okay. so, this is how
00:15:00.085 --> 00:15:01.320
So, this is how the servant felt.
00:15:01.387 --> 00:15:02.988
The servant felt. and i'm not drawing this
00:15:03.055 --> 00:15:03.822
And i'm not drawing this because i think i'm such
00:15:03.889 --> 00:15:04.590
Because i think i'm such an awesome artist.
00:15:04.657 --> 00:15:06.058
An awesome artist. we'd just been talking
00:15:06.125 --> 00:15:06.725
We'd just been talking about these loops.
00:15:06.792 --> 00:15:07.793
About these loops. the enemy says, god says.
00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.896
The enemy says, god says. the enemy says, god says.
00:15:10.963 --> 00:15:12.598
The enemy says, god says. what does the enemy
00:15:12.665 --> 00:15:13.165
What does the enemy say over and over again?
00:15:13.232 --> 00:15:14.433
Say over and over again? it's not enough,
00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:15.868
It's not enough, you're not loved.
00:15:15.935 --> 00:15:17.069
You're not loved. it's not enough,
00:15:17.136 --> 00:15:18.404
It's not enough, you're not loved.
00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:19.571
You're not loved. and we've been talking about
00:15:19.638 --> 00:15:20.806
And we've been talking about new loops that god can design.
00:15:20.873 --> 00:15:22.841
New loops that god can design. so the servant who
00:15:22.908 --> 00:15:24.476
So the servant who is a very young man,
00:15:24.543 --> 00:15:26.245
Is a very young man, wakes up in the morning
00:15:26.312 --> 00:15:27.746
Wakes up in the morning and all he sees surrounding
00:15:27.813 --> 00:15:28.914
And all he sees surrounding the hills.
00:15:28.981 --> 00:15:35.554
The hills. is the enemy, surrounding.
00:15:35.621 --> 00:15:37.489
Is the enemy, surrounding. talk about a literal loop.
00:15:37.556 --> 00:15:40.559
Talk about a literal loop. there's horses and chariots
00:15:40.626 --> 00:15:42.127
There's horses and chariots coming to take away
00:15:42.194 --> 00:15:43.228
Coming to take away the man of god.
00:15:43.295 --> 00:15:44.229
The man of god. it is a literal loop
00:15:44.296 --> 00:15:46.799
It is a literal loop around these two.
00:15:46.865 --> 00:15:48.801
Around these two. and the servant sees
00:15:48.867 --> 00:15:49.601
And the servant sees the enemy and then he see --
00:15:49.668 --> 00:15:52.438
The enemy and then he see -- and i wonder,
00:15:52.504 --> 00:15:53.339
And i wonder, can you relate
00:15:53.405 --> 00:15:53.906
Can you relate to this feeling, okay?
00:15:53.973 --> 00:15:55.641
To this feeling, okay? wake up in the morning
00:15:55.708 --> 00:15:57.176
Wake up in the morning and all i feel,
00:15:57.242 --> 00:15:57.910
And all i feel, all i see,
00:15:57.977 --> 00:15:58.577
All i see, all i can sense is
00:15:58.644 --> 00:16:00.446
All i can sense is the avalanche of anxiety,
00:16:00.512 --> 00:16:03.115
The avalanche of anxiety, of everything that's probably
00:16:03.182 --> 00:16:04.416
Of everything that's probably not going to get done today
00:16:04.483 --> 00:16:06.385
Not going to get done today that needs to get done today.
00:16:06.452 --> 00:16:08.087
That needs to get done today. or of all of the potentially
00:16:08.153 --> 00:16:10.389
Or of all of the potentially awkward conversations
00:16:10.456 --> 00:16:12.758
Awkward conversations that need to happen.
00:16:12.825 --> 00:16:13.926
That need to happen. and there's a little voice
00:16:13.993 --> 00:16:14.660
And there's a little voice inside of you saying,
00:16:14.727 --> 00:16:15.527
Inside of you saying, "it's fine."
00:16:15.594 --> 00:16:17.830
"it's fine." but what if it's not?
00:16:17.896 --> 00:16:19.932
But what if it's not? "it's fine."
00:16:19.999 --> 00:16:21.700
"it's fine." but maybe not this time.
00:16:21.767 --> 00:16:23.769
But maybe not this time. "it's fine, it's good.
00:16:23.836 --> 00:16:24.803
"it's fine, it's good. it's just good, it's good."
00:16:24.870 --> 00:16:27.006
It's just good, it's good." but when you're surrounded
00:16:27.072 --> 00:16:27.940
But when you're surrounded by the enemy,
00:16:28.007 --> 00:16:29.108
By the enemy, and this is what he sees.
00:16:29.174 --> 00:16:30.075
And this is what he sees. here's the enemy and here's me.
00:16:30.142 --> 00:16:38.617
Here's the enemy and here's me. so that's about
00:16:38.684 --> 00:16:39.251
So that's about how it feels, right?
00:16:39.318 --> 00:16:41.920
How it feels, right? this is how big
00:16:41.987 --> 00:16:42.621
This is how big the enemy is, this is me.
00:16:42.688 --> 00:16:45.624
The enemy is, this is me. can y'all see that that says me?
00:16:45.691 --> 00:16:48.327
Can y'all see that that says me? big ole enemy, little old me.
00:16:48.394 --> 00:16:52.598
Big ole enemy, little old me. and what is little old me gonna
00:16:52.664 --> 00:16:54.800
And what is little old me gonna do with a big ole enemy?
00:16:54.867 --> 00:16:58.070
Do with a big ole enemy? and elisha says, "it's fine."
00:16:58.137 --> 00:17:01.206
And elisha says, "it's fine." how is it fine?
00:17:01.273 --> 00:17:03.509
Because i have a file.
00:17:03.609 --> 00:17:06.612
Because i have a file. i have a file.
00:17:06.678 --> 00:17:08.647
I have a file. this is not elisha's
00:17:08.714 --> 00:17:09.782
This is not elisha's first time in trouble.
00:17:09.848 --> 00:17:12.151
First time in trouble. this is not elisha's
00:17:12.217 --> 00:17:13.218
This is not elisha's first time outnumbered.
00:17:13.285 --> 00:17:15.554
First time outnumbered. this is not elisha's
00:17:15.621 --> 00:17:16.889
First time dealing with
00:17:16.989 --> 00:17:18.424
First time dealing with "it's not enough."
00:17:18.490 --> 00:17:20.392
"it's not enough." one time he was standing
00:17:20.459 --> 00:17:22.061
One time he was standing at the bank of the jordan
00:17:22.127 --> 00:17:23.095
At the bank of the jordan after his mentor,
00:17:23.162 --> 00:17:23.996
After his mentor, elijah, was taken away,
00:17:24.063 --> 00:17:26.098
Elijah, was taken away, who he followed for years
00:17:26.165 --> 00:17:28.067
Who he followed for years and years seeing miracles.
00:17:28.133 --> 00:17:30.436
And years seeing miracles. miracles that only god can do.
00:17:30.502 --> 00:17:33.038
Miracles that only god can do. and i believe that as he was
00:17:33.105 --> 00:17:34.139
And i believe that as he was watching his mentor as god
00:17:34.206 --> 00:17:36.408
Watching his mentor as god performed miracles,
00:17:36.475 --> 00:17:37.676
Performed miracles, he was building a file.
00:17:37.743 --> 00:17:39.978
He was building a file. a file in his mind that god
00:17:40.045 --> 00:17:41.747
A file in his mind that god can send fire from heaven.
00:17:41.814 --> 00:17:43.482
Can send fire from heaven. a file in his mind that god
00:17:43.549 --> 00:17:45.117
A file in his mind that god can even raise the dead.
00:17:45.184 --> 00:17:46.785
Can even raise the dead. a file in his mind that enabled
00:17:46.852 --> 00:17:48.687
A file in his mind that enabled him when he was standing
00:17:48.754 --> 00:17:50.322
Him when he was standing at the jordan with nothing
00:17:50.389 --> 00:17:51.824
At the jordan with nothing but the mantle that was
00:17:51.890 --> 00:17:53.092
But the mantle that was left from his mentor,
00:17:53.158 --> 00:17:54.460
Left from his mentor, he rolled it up and struck
00:17:54.526 --> 00:17:56.562
He rolled it up and struck the water and the water parted,
00:17:56.628 --> 00:17:58.897
The water and the water parted, and when he saw something
00:17:58.964 --> 00:18:00.032
And when he saw something as simple as a piece
00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:01.467
As simple as a piece of clothing part a body
00:18:01.533 --> 00:18:03.335
Of clothing part a body of water,
00:18:03.402 --> 00:18:04.369
Of water, that became a new file
00:18:04.436 --> 00:18:06.538
That became a new file in his mind.
00:18:06.605 --> 00:18:07.673
In his mind. and then there was the time
00:18:07.739 --> 00:18:09.074
And then there was the time where they brought him to a city
00:18:09.141 --> 00:18:10.375
Where they brought him to a city and the water supply was bad,
00:18:10.442 --> 00:18:12.244
And the water supply was bad, in 2 kings 2.
00:18:12.311 --> 00:18:14.480
In 2 kings 2. and he took a little salt
00:18:14.546 --> 00:18:15.614
And he took a little salt and threw it in the water
00:18:15.681 --> 00:18:16.782
And threw it in the water and the water was purified
00:18:16.849 --> 00:18:18.317
And the water was purified from a little bit of salt.
00:18:18.383 --> 00:18:19.985
From a little bit of salt. how can a little bit of salt
00:18:20.052 --> 00:18:21.420
How can a little bit of salt purify a whole body of water?
00:18:21.487 --> 00:18:23.789
Purify a whole body of water? and so elisha put
00:18:23.856 --> 00:18:24.890
And so elisha put it in his mind that
00:18:24.957 --> 00:18:26.058
It in his mind that god can take a little thing,
00:18:26.125 --> 00:18:28.260
God can take a little thing, something that is not enough,
00:18:28.327 --> 00:18:30.062
Something that is not enough, something that
00:18:30.129 --> 00:18:31.029
Something that seems insignificant,
00:18:31.096 --> 00:18:32.231
Seems insignificant, and he can purify and he can
00:18:32.297 --> 00:18:34.333
And he can purify and he can plentify something that seems
00:18:34.399 --> 00:18:36.602
Plentify something that seems absolutely beyond human ability.
00:18:36.668 --> 00:18:39.538
Absolutely beyond human ability. when a widow came to him
00:18:39.605 --> 00:18:40.806
When a widow came to him and said,
00:18:40.873 --> 00:18:41.406
And said, "they're about
00:18:41.473 --> 00:18:41.874
"they're about to take my sons as slaves."
00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:43.642
To take my sons as slaves." elisha said,
00:18:43.709 --> 00:18:44.376
Elisha said, "what do you have
00:18:44.443 --> 00:18:44.943
"what do you have in your house?"
00:18:45.010 --> 00:18:46.845
In your house?" and she said,
00:18:46.912 --> 00:18:47.379
And she said, "i don't have anything,
00:18:47.446 --> 00:18:48.247
"i don't have anything, just a little bit of oil."
00:18:48.313 --> 00:18:49.815
Just a little bit of oil." and elisha said,
00:18:49.882 --> 00:18:50.549
And elisha said, "that's fine,
00:18:50.616 --> 00:18:51.416
"that's fine, but if you get enough jars
00:18:51.483 --> 00:18:53.118
But if you get enough jars and you start pouring
00:18:53.185 --> 00:18:54.486
And you start pouring what you have."
00:18:54.553 --> 00:18:56.088
What you have." even if it seems
00:18:56.155 --> 00:18:57.055
Even if it seems insignificant to you,
00:18:57.122 --> 00:18:58.590
Insignificant to you, if you will begin to do
00:18:58.657 --> 00:19:00.058
If you will begin to do the thing that you can do with
00:19:00.125 --> 00:19:01.593
The thing that you can do with the thing that you do have
00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:03.028
The thing that you do have god will do the thing
00:19:03.095 --> 00:19:04.163
God will do the thing that you can't do because god
00:19:04.229 --> 00:19:06.298
That you can't do because god specializes in starting
00:19:06.365 --> 00:19:08.233
Specializes in starting with not enough so he can
00:19:08.300 --> 00:19:09.902
With not enough so he can show that he
00:19:09.968 --> 00:19:10.769
Show that he is more than enough.
00:19:10.836 --> 00:19:12.271
Is more than enough. and i believe that as elisha
00:19:12.337 --> 00:19:14.106
And i believe that as elisha saw those jars filled and pushed
00:19:14.173 --> 00:19:15.974
Saw those jars filled and pushed to the side, each time
00:19:16.041 --> 00:19:17.643
To the side, each time a jar was pushed to the side
00:19:17.709 --> 00:19:19.912
A jar was pushed to the side from a supply that wasn't
00:19:19.978 --> 00:19:21.213
From a supply that wasn't enough before god spoke,
00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:23.215
Enough before god spoke, he began to fill a file in
00:19:23.282 --> 00:19:25.384
He began to fill a file in his mind that god is faithful,
00:19:25.450 --> 00:19:28.153
His mind that god is faithful, and that god
00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:28.954
And that god is more than enough,
00:19:29.021 --> 00:19:30.322
Is more than enough, and that god is greater
00:19:30.389 --> 00:19:31.557
And that god is greater than a bad situation,
00:19:31.623 --> 00:19:32.958
Than a bad situation, and that god doesn't look
00:19:33.025 --> 00:19:34.393
And that god doesn't look for what you don't have,
00:19:34.459 --> 00:19:35.661
For what you don't have, but he works
00:19:35.727 --> 00:19:36.428
But he works with what you do have.
00:19:36.495 --> 00:19:37.629
With what you do have. and i believe that by
00:19:37.696 --> 00:19:38.897
And i believe that by this time in his life,
00:19:38.964 --> 00:19:40.666
This time in his life, after seeing naaman
00:19:40.732 --> 00:19:41.833
After seeing naaman healed of leprosy,
00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.335
Healed of leprosy, after seeing a little boy
00:19:43.402 --> 00:19:45.137
After seeing a little boy that was not supposed
00:19:45.204 --> 00:19:46.138
That was not supposed to be born be born and die,
00:19:46.205 --> 00:19:48.574
To be born be born and die, and raised from the dead.
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:49.975
And raised from the dead. by the time he gets to this
00:19:50.042 --> 00:19:51.877
By the time he gets to this place in his life,
00:19:51.944 --> 00:19:53.078
Place in his life, he has a big file in his mind.
00:19:53.145 --> 00:19:56.014
He has a big file in his mind. so when he sees the hills
00:19:56.081 --> 00:19:57.849
So when he sees the hills that are full of the enemies
00:19:57.916 --> 00:20:00.018
That are full of the enemies surrounding him,
00:20:00.085 --> 00:20:01.053
Surrounding him, when he sees the hills
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:02.254
When he sees the hills that are full of the opponents
00:20:02.321 --> 00:20:03.889
That have come
00:20:03.989 --> 00:20:04.590
That have come to take him away,
00:20:04.656 --> 00:20:05.524
To take him away, when he sees the hills
00:20:05.591 --> 00:20:07.259
When he sees the hills that are full of the thing
00:20:07.326 --> 00:20:08.827
That are full of the thing that threatened to take
00:20:08.894 --> 00:20:09.828
That threatened to take his life,
00:20:09.895 --> 00:20:11.029
His life, he has got a file that
00:20:11.096 --> 00:20:12.664
He has got a file that is full to fight the fear
00:20:12.731 --> 00:20:15.133
Is full to fight the fear that he feels because
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.868
That he feels because he knows that if god is
00:20:16.935 --> 00:20:18.704
He knows that if god is not done with me yet,
00:20:18.770 --> 00:20:20.372
There's more in me.
00:20:20.472 --> 00:20:22.307
There's more in me. so i can't die here unless
00:20:22.374 --> 00:20:24.643
So i can't die here unless god is done with me,
00:20:24.710 --> 00:20:26.311
God is done with me, so why would i be afraid
00:20:26.378 --> 00:20:28.113
So why would i be afraid of something that can't take
00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:29.448
Of something that can't take me until god is done with me?
00:20:29.514 --> 00:20:32.217
Me until god is done with me? 'cause i got a file for that.
00:20:32.284 --> 00:20:34.186
[applause]
00:20:34.486 --> 00:20:37.856
And your mind has files.
00:20:38.457 --> 00:20:41.026
And your mind has files. your mind has
00:20:41.093 --> 00:20:41.893
Your mind has a file called worry,
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.829
A file called worry, your mind has
00:20:43.895 --> 00:20:44.830
Your mind has a file called worship,
00:20:44.896 --> 00:20:48.300
A file called worship, and the one that you open
00:20:48.367 --> 00:20:49.935
And the one that you open is the one that will fill.
00:20:50.002 --> 00:20:53.639
Is the one that will fill. i just said something
00:20:53.705 --> 00:20:54.740
I just said something to somebody
00:20:54.806 --> 00:20:55.741
To somebody and i don't know who,
00:20:55.807 --> 00:20:57.776
And i don't know who, but your mind has files,
00:20:57.843 --> 00:21:00.279
But your mind has files, one called faith,
00:21:00.345 --> 00:21:02.080
One called faith, one called fear,
00:21:02.147 --> 00:21:03.782
One called fear, and the one that you open
00:21:03.849 --> 00:21:05.651
And the one that you open is the one that's going to fill.
00:21:05.717 --> 00:21:08.520
Is the one that's going to fill. if you open a file called
00:21:08.587 --> 00:21:09.855
If you open a file called "what could go wrong
00:21:09.921 --> 00:21:10.555
"what could go wrong on this flight?"
00:21:10.622 --> 00:21:11.256
On this flight?" you will be checking everybody's
00:21:11.323 --> 00:21:12.591
You will be checking everybody's bag and you're not even tsa.
00:21:12.658 --> 00:21:14.226
[laughter]
00:21:14.726 --> 00:21:15.761
How far are you
00:21:16.161 --> 00:21:16.695
How far are you gonna take this?
00:21:16.762 --> 00:21:17.996
Gonna take this? i mean, are you gonna
00:21:18.063 --> 00:21:18.630
I mean, are you gonna interview the pilot?
00:21:18.697 --> 00:21:20.499
Interview the pilot? will you stop there or are you
00:21:20.565 --> 00:21:21.633
Will you stop there or are you gonna check the plane yourself?
00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:23.268
Gonna check the plane yourself? if you open the file called
00:21:23.335 --> 00:21:24.803
If you open the file called "is this gonna go
00:21:24.870 --> 00:21:25.537
"is this gonna go well on the flight?"
00:21:25.604 --> 00:21:26.271
Well on the flight?" i mean, that file
00:21:26.338 --> 00:21:28.640
I mean, that file is completely infinite.
00:21:28.707 --> 00:21:30.809
Is completely infinite. that loop is comple --
00:21:30.876 --> 00:21:32.110
That loop is comple -- that's what
00:21:32.177 --> 00:21:33.045
That's what the enemy does to you,
00:21:33.111 --> 00:21:34.446
The enemy does to you, he gets you to open
00:21:34.513 --> 00:21:35.580
He gets you to open the file and you don't
00:21:35.647 --> 00:21:37.382
The file and you don't have time for that
00:21:37.449 --> 00:21:38.350
Have time for that file right now.
00:21:38.417 --> 00:21:40.852
File right now. no, you --
00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:42.087
No, you -- let me say that again,
00:21:42.154 --> 00:21:43.288
Let me say that again, you do not have time
00:21:43.355 --> 00:21:45.857
You do not have time to be running every
00:21:45.924 --> 00:21:46.925
To be running every hypothetical scenario
00:21:46.992 --> 00:21:48.293
Hypothetical scenario in your life for
00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:50.462
In your life for what might go wrong,
00:21:50.529 --> 00:21:52.731
What might go wrong, because if you repeat
00:21:52.798 --> 00:21:54.533
Because if you repeat what might go wrong long enough,
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:56.768
What might go wrong long enough, what you repeat ends in defeat.
00:21:56.835 --> 00:22:04.042
What you repeat ends in defeat. your mind has files
00:22:04.109 --> 00:22:04.543
Your mind has files and the one that you open
00:22:04.609 --> 00:22:06.678
And the one that you open is the one that will fill.
00:22:06.745 --> 00:22:08.013
Is the one that will fill. that changed my life because it
00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:10.282
That changed my life because it helped me to start saying things
00:22:10.349 --> 00:22:11.516
Helped me to start saying things to people like that,
00:22:11.583 --> 00:22:13.919
To people like that, "man, i don't really wanna
00:22:13.985 --> 00:22:14.686
"man, i don't really wanna talk about that right now."
00:22:14.753 --> 00:22:17.956
Talk about that right now." one of my friends told me
00:22:18.023 --> 00:22:18.824
One of my friends told me the other day something horrible
00:22:18.890 --> 00:22:20.525
The other day something horrible that somebody said about
00:22:20.592 --> 00:22:21.393
That somebody said about me and they said,
00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:22.728
Me and they said, "but i had your back."
00:22:22.794 --> 00:22:24.329
"but i had your back." and i said,
00:22:24.396 --> 00:22:24.863
And i said, "i appreciate it.
00:22:24.930 --> 00:22:25.297
"i appreciate it. can we be done with
00:22:25.364 --> 00:22:25.931
Can we be done with this conversation?
00:22:25.997 --> 00:22:27.766
This conversation? thank you for having my back
00:22:27.833 --> 00:22:29.067
Thank you for having my back but i'm done talking
00:22:29.134 --> 00:22:29.634
But i'm done talking about this."
00:22:29.701 --> 00:22:30.802
About this." why?
00:22:30.869 --> 00:22:31.737
Why? because i don't really wanna
00:22:31.803 --> 00:22:32.704
Because i don't really wanna hear about somebody
00:22:32.771 --> 00:22:33.438
Hear about somebody who hates me.
00:22:33.505 --> 00:22:35.340
Who hates me. i don't wanna open that.
00:22:35.407 --> 00:22:36.708
I don't wanna open that. >> congregation: file.
00:22:36.775 --> 00:22:37.476
>> congregation: file. >> file right now.
00:22:37.542 --> 00:22:39.478
>> file right now. 'cause that could be a big file
00:22:39.544 --> 00:22:42.013
'cause that could be a big file and i might start adding friends
00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:43.382
And i might start adding friends to that file
00:22:43.448 --> 00:22:44.182
To that file that really don't hate me.
00:22:44.249 --> 00:22:46.485
That really don't hate me. remember, when you vent,
00:22:46.551 --> 00:22:48.453
Remember, when you vent, you invent.
00:22:48.520 --> 00:22:49.287
[applause]
00:22:52.157 --> 00:22:53.892
So, if my heart is
00:22:54.292 --> 00:22:57.229
So, if my heart is full of fear,
00:22:57.295 --> 00:22:58.630
Full of fear, what file did i open?
00:22:58.697 --> 00:22:59.531

>> the mission
00:24:13.104 --> 00:24:13.805
Of steven furtick ministries
00:24:13.939 --> 00:24:14.539
Has always been getting god's
00:24:14.673 --> 00:24:16.208
Word into people's hearts.
00:24:16.341 --> 00:24:18.643
In 2022,
00:24:18.777 --> 00:24:19.778
We launched our prison ministry
00:24:19.911 --> 00:24:21.213
And god has been moving.
00:24:21.346 --> 00:24:23.014
Today, our volunteers bring
00:24:23.148 --> 00:24:24.216
Church to 14 facilities
00:24:24.349 --> 00:24:25.684
Nationwide and reach thousands
00:24:25.817 --> 00:24:27.319
More online through
00:24:27.452 --> 00:24:28.453
Outreach partners
00:24:28.587 --> 00:24:29.254
And an app called pando.
00:24:29.387 --> 00:24:31.156
We've seen over 700 baptisms,
00:24:31.289 --> 00:24:33.525
Over 3,000 decisions for
00:24:33.658 --> 00:24:34.059
Christ,
00:24:34.192 --> 00:24:36.628
And we're believing that we
00:24:36.761 --> 00:24:37.229
Will
00:24:37.362 --> 00:24:38.930
Have a consistent presence in
00:24:39.064 --> 00:24:40.232
20 prisons by the end of 2026,
00:24:40.365 --> 00:24:42.367
Because we know that no place
00:24:42.501 --> 00:24:44.469
Is out of reach
00:24:44.603 --> 00:24:45.070
For the gospel,
00:24:45.203 --> 00:24:46.538
