I am that i am." you didn't know this verse,

You didn't know this verse, but exodus 3:14
00:00:26.446 --> 00:00:28.515
But exodus 3:14 teaches us something

Teaches us something very powerful.

Yahweh is i am. he wasn't was,
00:00:34.387 --> 00:00:36.022
He wasn't was, he is and gonna be.
00:00:36.089 --> 00:00:37.857

That before and i've taught you
00:00:41.528 --> 00:00:41.961
And i've taught you that his name
00:00:42.028 --> 00:00:42.729
That his name being i am means
00:00:42.796 --> 00:00:43.963
Being i am means he's a present help
00:00:44.030 --> 00:00:44.931
He's a present help in the time of trouble.
00:00:44.998 --> 00:00:46.466
In the time of trouble. but what i never taught
00:00:46.533 --> 00:00:47.500
But what i never taught you so clear before
00:00:47.567 --> 00:00:49.035
You so clear before is when he said,
00:00:49.102 --> 00:00:49.702
Is when he said, "i am that i am."
00:00:49.769 --> 00:00:52.739
"i am that i am." the place of that is meant
00:00:52.806 --> 00:00:54.808
The place of that is meant to represent every place
00:00:54.874 --> 00:00:56.409
To represent every place where god will express
00:00:56.476 --> 00:00:57.677
Where god will express his power in your life.
00:00:57.744 --> 00:01:00.180
His power in your life. so, let's say in this

So, let's say in this specific season of your life,

Specific season of your life, god wants to accomplish
00:01:03.783 --> 00:01:05.051
God wants to accomplish a purpose and in order
00:01:05.118 --> 00:01:05.718
A purpose and in order to accomplish his purpose,
00:01:05.785 --> 00:01:08.188
To accomplish his purpose, he is going to have
00:01:08.254 --> 00:01:08.888
He is going to have to open a door for you that
00:01:08.955 --> 00:01:10.090
To open a door for you that you can't open for yourself
00:01:10.156 --> 00:01:11.458
You can't open for yourself and only god can do that.
00:01:11.524 --> 00:01:13.760
And only god can do that. well, i am that,
00:01:13.827 --> 00:01:15.462
Well, i am that, open door, i am.
00:01:15.528 --> 00:01:17.764
Open door, i am. let's say you're in
00:01:17.831 --> 00:01:18.498
Let's say you're in a season in your life,
00:01:18.565 --> 00:01:19.365
A season in your life, where it looks like
00:01:19.432 --> 00:01:20.033
Where it looks like there's no way you're going
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:21.101
There's no way you're going to be able to move
00:01:21.167 --> 00:01:22.068
To be able to move through this next month.
00:01:22.135 --> 00:01:23.870
Through this next month. it is so busy,
00:01:23.937 --> 00:01:25.138
It is so busy, it is so hectic,
00:01:25.205 --> 00:01:26.506
It is so hectic, it is so overwhelmed,
00:01:26.573 --> 00:01:28.141
It is so overwhelmed, and you need a sustaining
00:01:28.208 --> 00:01:29.709
And you need a sustaining power in your life.
00:01:29.776 --> 00:01:30.977
Power in your life. come on, a sustaining energy
00:01:31.044 --> 00:01:32.946
Come on, a sustaining energy over your life.
00:01:33.012 --> 00:01:34.013
Over your life. some of you are so tired,
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:35.682
Some of you are so tired, your biggest prayer
00:01:35.748 --> 00:01:36.649
Your biggest prayer last week was,
00:01:36.716 --> 00:01:37.750
Last week was, "i can't do this."
00:01:37.817 --> 00:01:39.219
"i can't do this." you didn't even have
00:01:39.285 --> 00:01:40.186
You didn't even have the faith left to ask.
00:01:40.253 --> 00:01:41.788
The faith left to ask. every time you thought about it,
00:01:41.855 --> 00:01:43.423
Every time you thought about it, it started twisting up
00:01:43.490 --> 00:01:44.491
It started twisting up inside of you.
00:01:44.557 --> 00:01:45.758
Inside of you. but what you didn't
00:01:45.825 --> 00:01:46.493
But what you didn't realize about god's name
00:01:46.559 --> 00:01:48.361
Realize about god's name is that that feeling,
00:01:48.428 --> 00:01:50.096
Is that that feeling, that place, that need
00:01:50.163 --> 00:01:52.298
That place, that need is the place where god
00:01:52.365 --> 00:01:53.333
Is the place where god wants to express his name.
00:01:53.399 --> 00:01:55.668
Wants to express his name. so, if tired is the place
00:01:55.735 --> 00:01:57.270
So, if tired is the place where you need god to show up,
00:01:57.337 --> 00:01:59.205
Where you need god to show up, that is the place
00:01:59.272 --> 00:02:00.306
That is the place where god's energy will be.
00:02:00.373 --> 00:02:02.342
Where god's energy will be. wherever it is that
00:02:02.408 --> 00:02:03.343
Wherever it is that he has positioned you,
00:02:03.409 --> 00:02:04.878
He has positioned you, that's where it is
00:02:04.944 --> 00:02:05.745
That's where it is that he will empower you.
00:02:05.812 --> 00:02:07.413
That he will empower you. i'll take it further.
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.748
I'll take it further. if there is an insecurity
00:02:08.815 --> 00:02:10.450
If there is an insecurity in your life that makes you
00:02:10.517 --> 00:02:11.985
In your life that makes you think you can't do it,
00:02:12.051 --> 00:02:13.219
Think you can't do it, that's good.
00:02:13.286 --> 00:02:14.354
That's good. the insecurity
00:02:14.420 --> 00:02:15.522
The insecurity is the insurance policy
00:02:15.588 --> 00:02:17.423
Is the insurance policy that lets you know
00:02:17.490 --> 00:02:18.958
That lets you know that when it gets done
00:02:19.025 --> 00:02:20.627
That when it gets done you won't be tempted
00:02:20.693 --> 00:02:21.828
You won't be tempted to take the credit because
00:02:21.895 --> 00:02:23.596
To take the credit because you'll know, and they'll know
00:02:23.663 --> 00:02:25.932
You'll know, and they'll know and everybody who knows you
00:02:25.999 --> 00:02:27.667
And everybody who knows you will know it had to be god.
00:02:27.734 --> 00:02:30.837
Will know it had to be god. i watched him the basket,
00:02:30.904 --> 00:02:33.072
I watched him the basket, i saw them make a mistake
00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:35.141
I saw them make a mistake but somehow god kept
00:02:35.208 --> 00:02:36.809
But somehow god kept drawing them out.
00:02:36.876 --> 00:02:38.378
Drawing them out. and that's what i see
00:02:38.444 --> 00:02:39.579
And that's what i see in this season for your life.
00:02:39.646 --> 00:02:41.614
In this season for your life. you're gonna be drawing
00:02:41.681 --> 00:02:42.849
You're gonna be drawing from the god who drawed
00:02:42.916 --> 00:02:44.617
From the god who drawed you out of the water,
00:02:44.684 --> 00:02:46.052
You out of the water, and you are not going
00:02:46.119 --> 00:02:46.920
And you are not going to run out of resource
00:02:46.986 --> 00:02:48.655
To run out of resource because you will not
00:02:48.721 --> 00:02:49.622
Because you will not run out of god.
00:02:49.689 --> 00:02:51.124
Run out of god. you are not going
00:02:51.191 --> 00:02:51.925
You are not going to run out of wisdom
00:02:51.991 --> 00:02:53.393
To run out of wisdom because you will not
00:02:53.459 --> 00:02:54.194
Because you will not run out of god.
00:02:54.260 --> 00:02:55.762
Run out of god. you will not run out of meal
00:02:55.828 --> 00:02:57.564
You will not run out of meal because you will not
00:02:57.630 --> 00:02:58.498
Because you will not run out of god.
00:02:58.565 --> 00:02:59.966
Run out of god. you will not run
00:03:00.033 --> 00:03:00.800
You will not run out of support
00:03:00.867 --> 00:03:01.968
Out of support because you will not
00:03:02.035 --> 00:03:02.802
Because you will not run out of god.
00:03:02.869 --> 00:03:04.304
Run out of god. you will not run out of it
00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:06.072
You will not run out of it because you will run out of him.
00:03:06.139 --> 00:03:10.710
Because you will run out of him. you will not run out of it
00:03:10.777 --> 00:03:12.378
You will not run out of it because you will not
00:03:12.445 --> 00:03:12.946
Run out of him
00:03:13.046 --> 00:03:14.214
Run out of him because i am that i am.
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.116
[cheering and applause]
00:03:17.383 --> 00:03:23.122
Take your need
00:03:24.257 --> 00:03:25.291
Take your need and move it to the middle
00:03:25.358 --> 00:03:27.126
And move it to the middle and make a great i am sandwich.
00:03:27.193 --> 00:03:30.163
And god says i am that i am.
00:03:30.263 --> 00:03:33.933
And god says i am that i am. boy, if i'd have
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:34.467
Boy, if i'd have planned this better,
00:03:34.534 --> 00:03:35.201
Planned this better, i'd have brought some bologna.
00:03:35.268 --> 00:03:36.369
[laughter]
00:03:36.636 --> 00:03:37.971
And some pumpernickel
00:03:38.338 --> 00:03:40.473
And some pumpernickel bread up here
00:03:40.540 --> 00:03:41.708
Bread up here and i would've showed you
00:03:41.774 --> 00:03:42.508
And i would've showed you how to sandwich your
00:03:42.575 --> 00:03:43.476
How to sandwich your situation by the presence
00:03:43.543 --> 00:03:46.312
Situation by the presence and the spoken promise of god
00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:48.848
And the spoken promise of god and move it to the middle.
00:03:48.915 --> 00:03:54.520
And move it to the middle. what we know that
00:03:54.587 --> 00:03:56.522
What we know that moses doesn't know -
00:03:56.589 --> 00:03:57.490
Moses doesn't know - and that's a bold statement
00:03:57.557 --> 00:03:58.358
And that's a bold statement because the bible said,
00:03:58.424 --> 00:03:59.025
Because the bible said, "other prophets have i
00:03:59.092 --> 00:03:59.659
"other prophets have i spoken to other ways,
00:03:59.726 --> 00:04:00.593
Spoken to other ways, but moses i spoke
00:04:00.660 --> 00:04:01.427
But moses i spoke to face to face."
00:04:01.494 --> 00:04:02.161
To face to face." now, that's in numbers
00:04:02.228 --> 00:04:03.730
Now, that's in numbers after they complained to moses
00:04:03.796 --> 00:04:05.498
After they complained to moses and didn't appreciate him.
00:04:05.565 --> 00:04:07.166
And didn't appreciate him. ooh, i almost forgot
00:04:07.233 --> 00:04:07.934
Ooh, i almost forgot to say this.
00:04:08.001 --> 00:04:08.868
To say this. thank you, lord.
00:04:08.935 --> 00:04:10.637
Thank you, lord. his hesitancy to do
00:04:10.703 --> 00:04:11.771
His hesitancy to do what god called him to do
00:04:11.838 --> 00:04:12.639
What god called him to do 'cause he argued
00:04:12.705 --> 00:04:13.139
'cause he argued back and forth with god,
00:04:13.206 --> 00:04:14.807
Back and forth with god, his hesitancy to do it
00:04:14.874 --> 00:04:17.477
His hesitancy to do it wasn't rooted in rebellion,
00:04:17.543 --> 00:04:20.847
Wasn't rooted in rebellion, it was rooted in rejection.
00:04:20.913 --> 00:04:27.287
It was rooted in rejection. because he tried to do this
00:04:27.353 --> 00:04:28.154
Because he tried to do this the first time it didn't work.
00:04:28.221 --> 00:04:32.058
The first time it didn't work. the first time he tried
00:04:32.125 --> 00:04:32.792
The first time he tried to fight for his people
00:04:32.859 --> 00:04:33.826
To fight for his people it cost him 40 years
00:04:33.893 --> 00:04:36.029
It cost him 40 years in the wilderness.
00:04:36.095 --> 00:04:38.931
In the wilderness. and now you understand
00:04:38.998 --> 00:04:39.699
And now you understand why you're uncomfortable
00:04:39.766 --> 00:04:40.700
Why you're uncomfortable receiving love from others
00:04:40.767 --> 00:04:43.803
Receiving love from others and when people try
00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:44.504
And when people try to treat you good,
00:04:44.570 --> 00:04:45.238
To treat you good, you treat them bad
00:04:45.305 --> 00:04:46.072
You treat them bad just to get things back
00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:46.939
Just to get things back to the natural habitat
00:04:47.006 --> 00:04:48.141
To the natural habitat that you're used to.
00:04:48.207 --> 00:04:51.210
That you're used to. seeking the lower state because
00:04:51.277 --> 00:04:53.313
Seeking the lower state because it's the state that you know.
00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:56.883
It's the state that you know. he wasn't rebelling
00:04:56.949 --> 00:04:57.650
He wasn't rebelling against god, that's jonah.
00:04:57.717 --> 00:05:01.487
Against god, that's jonah. he wasn't rebelling
00:05:01.554 --> 00:05:02.121
He wasn't rebelling against god, that's jonah.
00:05:02.188 --> 00:05:03.790
Against god, that's jonah. he was rejected by them.
00:05:03.856 --> 00:05:07.193
He was rejected by them. and the rejection takes root
00:05:07.260 --> 00:05:09.796
And the rejection takes root and gets to the place
00:05:09.862 --> 00:05:10.697
And gets to the place where you go,
00:05:10.763 --> 00:05:11.331
Where you go, "i don't really wanna
00:05:11.397 --> 00:05:11.864
"i don't really wanna put it out there
00:05:11.931 --> 00:05:12.699
Put it out there like that anymore."
00:05:12.765 --> 00:05:16.269
Like that anymore." i love when y'all get quiet.
00:05:16.336 --> 00:05:18.371
[laughter]
00:05:18.638 --> 00:05:21.207
Thinking about those
00:05:22.608 --> 00:05:24.410
Thinking about those hesitancies in your life
00:05:24.477 --> 00:05:26.612
Hesitancies in your life to trust god because of
00:05:26.679 --> 00:05:28.781
To trust god because of a root of rejection,
00:05:28.848 --> 00:05:30.817
A root of rejection, where the first time
00:05:30.883 --> 00:05:31.317
Where the first time it didn't work.
00:05:31.384 --> 00:05:34.287
It didn't work. and after 40 years
00:05:34.354 --> 00:05:36.356
And after 40 years you pretty much assume
00:05:36.422 --> 00:05:37.123
You pretty much assume this is it
00:05:37.190 --> 00:05:39.058
This is it and there's not much
00:05:39.125 --> 00:05:39.559
And there's not much i can do about it.
00:05:39.625 --> 00:05:42.295
I can do about it. but moses should have known,
00:05:42.362 --> 00:05:44.163
But moses should have known, he should have known because
00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:44.797
He should have known because he was no ordinary child.
00:05:44.864 --> 00:05:47.166
He was no ordinary child. that even in those 40 years
00:05:47.233 --> 00:05:48.835
That even in those 40 years and even with his perceived
00:05:48.901 --> 00:05:50.403
And even with his perceived lack of natural talent to speak,
00:05:50.470 --> 00:05:51.871
Lack of natural talent to speak, watch this, he should have
00:05:51.938 --> 00:05:53.573
Watch this, he should have known this can't be the end.
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.678
Known this can't be the end. it's called midian.
00:05:58.745 --> 00:06:01.314
[laughter]
00:06:01.581 --> 00:06:04.217
This can't be the end,
00:06:05.485 --> 00:06:07.820
This can't be the end, it's midian.
00:06:07.887 --> 00:06:10.256
It's midian. now, a few years ago
00:06:10.323 --> 00:06:11.924
Now, a few years ago i was having my own
00:06:11.991 --> 00:06:13.092
I was having my own sort of moses moment.
00:06:13.159 --> 00:06:15.261
Sort of moses moment. "i know, boohoo, wa-wa.
00:06:15.328 --> 00:06:17.964
"i know, boohoo, wa-wa. tell us your therapy session,
00:06:18.030 --> 00:06:19.198
Tell us your therapy session, pastor steven,
00:06:19.265 --> 00:06:19.899
Pastor steven, that's what we came for."
00:06:19.966 --> 00:06:20.666
That's what we came for." no, no.
00:06:20.733 --> 00:06:21.501
No, no. i'm just trying to relate this
00:06:21.567 --> 00:06:24.103
I'm just trying to relate this because it's one of
00:06:24.170 --> 00:06:24.604
Because it's one of the most powerful things
00:06:24.670 --> 00:06:25.405
The most powerful things that i ever did in my life.
00:06:25.471 --> 00:06:27.106
That i ever did in my life. it helped me so much.
00:06:27.173 --> 00:06:28.708
It helped me so much. the story that was going
00:06:28.775 --> 00:06:30.009
The story that was going in my mind was a little bit
00:06:30.076 --> 00:06:31.677
In my mind was a little bit like the moses story
00:06:31.744 --> 00:06:33.346
Like the moses story in that i'd had a few things
00:06:33.413 --> 00:06:35.515
In that i'd had a few things that i tried to do in
00:06:35.581 --> 00:06:37.183
That i tried to do in an effort to trust god
00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:38.184
An effort to trust god and i'm sure i didn't
00:06:38.251 --> 00:06:38.785
And i'm sure i didn't do them perfectly,
00:06:38.851 --> 00:06:39.585
Do them perfectly, but i was doing them sincerely.
00:06:39.652 --> 00:06:41.487
But i was doing them sincerely. you ever been there?
00:06:41.554 --> 00:06:42.088
You ever been there? i'm not saying i did it
00:06:42.155 --> 00:06:43.322
I'm not saying i did it exactly right,
00:06:43.389 --> 00:06:43.956
Exactly right, but i meant well, okay?
00:06:44.023 --> 00:06:46.292
But i meant well, okay? i meant well.
00:06:46.359 --> 00:06:46.692
I meant well. i'm not saying
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.126
I'm not saying it wasn't a mistake,
00:06:47.193 --> 00:06:47.693
But i meant well.
00:06:47.794 --> 00:06:48.628
But i meant well. that's moses's story,
00:06:48.694 --> 00:06:49.762
That's moses's story, that's why he's in midian.
00:06:49.829 --> 00:06:51.164
That's why he's in midian. "i meant well.
00:06:51.230 --> 00:06:51.864
"i meant well. i was trying to
00:06:51.931 --> 00:06:52.498
I was trying to protect an israelite,
00:06:52.565 --> 00:06:54.333
Protect an israelite, but i ended up
00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:54.901
But i ended up killing an egyptian.
00:06:54.967 --> 00:06:56.068
Killing an egyptian. and maybe i shouldn't have
00:06:56.135 --> 00:06:57.036
And maybe i shouldn't have gotten in the middle of it."
00:06:57.103 --> 00:06:59.372
Gotten in the middle of it." so, now he's on the far side
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.574
So, now he's on the far side of the desert in a place
00:07:01.641 --> 00:07:03.376
Of the desert in a place called midian.
00:07:03.443 --> 00:07:05.178
This place will ultimately
00:07:05.278 --> 00:07:06.345
This place will ultimately be the mountain,
00:07:06.412 --> 00:07:06.779
Be the mountain, where god will give
00:07:06.846 --> 00:07:07.480
Where god will give the commandments, mount sinai,
00:07:07.547 --> 00:07:09.248
The commandments, mount sinai, but it's not yet
00:07:09.315 --> 00:07:11.050
But it's not yet because it's just the middle.
00:07:11.117 --> 00:07:13.152
Because it's just the middle. now, here's moses tending
00:07:13.219 --> 00:07:15.154
Now, here's moses tending his sheep, all of a sudden,
00:07:15.221 --> 00:07:17.089
His sheep, all of a sudden, the burning bush,
00:07:17.156 --> 00:07:17.890
The burning bush, go to otis,
00:07:17.957 --> 00:07:20.359
Go to otis, becomes the focal point.
00:07:20.426 --> 00:07:22.929
Becomes the focal point. and moses moves over in order
00:07:22.995 --> 00:07:26.699
And moses moves over in order to see why it doesn't burn up.
00:07:26.766 --> 00:07:29.302
To see why it doesn't burn up. okay, now, go back
00:07:29.368 --> 00:07:30.036
Okay, now, go back to the normal camera shot.
00:07:30.102 --> 00:07:31.671
To the normal camera shot. as he's doing this,
00:07:31.737 --> 00:07:32.805
As he's doing this, the voice of the lord
00:07:32.872 --> 00:07:33.606
The voice of the lord speaks to him
00:07:33.673 --> 00:07:34.540
Speaks to him about the future
00:07:34.607 --> 00:07:35.174
About the future that god has planned for him,
00:07:35.241 --> 00:07:36.375
That god has planned for him, which revolves around
00:07:36.442 --> 00:07:37.310
Which revolves around the purpose that god
00:07:37.376 --> 00:07:37.810
The purpose that god has created him for.
00:07:37.877 --> 00:07:38.878
Has created him for. now, that's what this is about
00:07:38.945 --> 00:07:40.112
Now, that's what this is about in your life nothing else.
00:07:40.179 --> 00:07:42.114
In your life nothing else. for a few days forget
00:07:42.181 --> 00:07:44.083
For a few days forget about your preference
00:07:44.150 --> 00:07:45.251
About your preference and your plan of the way
00:07:45.318 --> 00:07:46.352
And your plan of the way you want the situation
00:07:46.419 --> 00:07:47.487
You want the situation to turn out.
00:07:47.553 --> 00:07:48.988
To turn out. because i see you
00:07:49.055 --> 00:07:49.655
Because i see you going through a valley
00:07:49.722 --> 00:07:51.224
Going through a valley and that feels like
00:07:51.290 --> 00:07:52.091
And that feels like that's all there is.
00:07:52.158 --> 00:07:53.993
That's all there is. well, i was recently reminded
00:07:54.060 --> 00:07:55.161
Well, i was recently reminded that it can only be a valley
00:07:55.228 --> 00:07:56.596
That it can only be a valley if there are mountains
00:07:56.662 --> 00:07:57.396
If there are mountains on either side of it.
00:07:57.463 --> 00:08:01.033
On either side of it. so, now we've got a moses,
00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:02.201
So, now we've got a moses, who spent 40 years rough start.
00:08:02.268 --> 00:08:05.104
Who spent 40 years rough start. he went through a dry season
00:08:05.171 --> 00:08:07.106
He went through a dry season and now god is bringing him
00:08:07.173 --> 00:08:08.307
And now god is bringing him to an expected end
00:08:08.374 --> 00:08:09.775
To an expected end to be the leader that god
00:08:09.842 --> 00:08:11.077
To be the leader that god has always meant for him to be
00:08:11.143 --> 00:08:14.013
Has always meant for him to be and he's in a place
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:15.548
And he's in a place called midian.
00:08:15.615 --> 00:08:17.583
Called midian. well, as i was going through
00:08:17.650 --> 00:08:18.584
Well, as i was going through some of my self-pitying moments
00:08:18.651 --> 00:08:21.621
Some of my self-pitying moments and specifically the narrative
00:08:21.687 --> 00:08:23.689
And specifically the narrative that was playing out
00:08:23.756 --> 00:08:25.024
That was playing out is the best is behind me.
00:08:25.091 --> 00:08:28.160
Is the best is behind me. now, i think that's one
00:08:28.227 --> 00:08:29.128
Now, i think that's one of the lies that the devil
00:08:29.195 --> 00:08:30.396
Of the lies that the devil tells that we don't talk about
00:08:30.463 --> 00:08:32.798
Tells that we don't talk about very much that we all walk
00:08:32.865 --> 00:08:34.300
Very much that we all walk around wondering about.
00:08:34.367 --> 00:08:36.135
Around wondering about. it's like, is this going to be
00:08:36.202 --> 00:08:38.004
It's like, is this going to be all there is for my life?
00:08:38.070 --> 00:08:40.506
All there is for my life? and it doesn't take a divorce
00:08:40.573 --> 00:08:41.807
And it doesn't take a divorce to make you feel that way.
00:08:41.874 --> 00:08:43.676
To make you feel that way. it doesn't take turning 45
00:08:43.743 --> 00:08:46.445
It doesn't take turning 45 to make you feel that way.
00:08:46.512 --> 00:08:48.347
To make you feel that way. it doesn't take having to
00:08:48.414 --> 00:08:49.148
It doesn't take having to wear readers to make
00:08:49.215 --> 00:08:49.916
Wear readers to make you feel that way,
00:08:49.982 --> 00:08:51.317
You feel that way, you can hit a wall
00:08:51.384 --> 00:08:52.418
You can hit a wall in your life,
00:08:52.485 --> 00:08:53.419
In your life, where you wonder,
00:08:53.486 --> 00:08:54.420
Where you wonder, "is this the most joy
00:08:54.487 --> 00:08:56.122
"is this the most joy i'm going to experience?
00:08:56.188 --> 00:08:57.557
I'm going to experience? is this the most difference
00:08:57.623 --> 00:08:59.125
Is this the most difference i'm going to make?
00:08:59.191 --> 00:09:00.192
I'm going to make? is this the greatest
00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:01.227
Is this the greatest accomplishment that
00:09:01.294 --> 00:09:02.128
Accomplishment that i'm ever going to accomplish?"
00:09:02.194 --> 00:09:03.829
I'm ever going to accomplish?" and then, you hit a wall,
00:09:03.896 --> 00:09:05.298
And then, you hit a wall, or you hit what
00:09:05.364 --> 00:09:05.965
Or you hit what you call a failure.
00:09:06.032 --> 00:09:07.133
You call a failure. it may not be a failure,
00:09:07.199 --> 00:09:08.167
It may not be a failure, you just see it as a failure
00:09:08.234 --> 00:09:09.936
You just see it as a failure and so then the enemy
00:09:10.002 --> 00:09:11.103
And so then the enemy says it's the end.
00:09:11.170 --> 00:09:13.739
Says it's the end. the enemy loves to tell you
00:09:13.806 --> 00:09:16.309
The enemy loves to tell you where the end is,
00:09:16.375 --> 00:09:19.278
Where the end is, so does god.
00:09:19.345 --> 00:09:22.014
So does god. and as i was sitting with this,
00:09:22.081 --> 00:09:24.350
And as i was sitting with this, i think it had been going on
00:09:24.417 --> 00:09:25.284
I think it had been going on a couple of months,
00:09:25.351 --> 00:09:26.752
A couple of months, i was sitting with this feeling
00:09:26.819 --> 00:09:28.654
I was sitting with this feeling that my best work is behind me,
00:09:28.721 --> 00:09:30.256
That my best work is behind me, my best sermons are behind me,
00:09:30.323 --> 00:09:31.657
My best sermons are behind me, my best songs are behind me.
00:09:31.724 --> 00:09:33.092
My best songs are behind me. it was just -
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:33.726
It was just - it was an avalanche.
00:09:33.793 --> 00:09:35.761
It was an avalanche. i'mma come to this side
00:09:35.828 --> 00:09:36.495
I'mma come to this side and see if anybody has
00:09:36.562 --> 00:09:37.463
And see if anybody has ever felt this way before.
00:09:37.530 --> 00:09:39.298
Ever felt this way before. they are looking at me like
00:09:39.365 --> 00:09:40.099
They are looking at me like they are on a streak, man.
00:09:40.166 --> 00:09:42.268
They are on a streak, man. they are on a roll over here.
00:09:42.335 --> 00:09:44.303
They are on a roll over here. they are winning medals,
00:09:44.370 --> 00:09:45.905
They are winning medals, and getting raises
00:09:45.972 --> 00:09:47.306
And getting raises and paying no taxes,
00:09:47.373 --> 00:09:49.108
And paying no taxes, 6% body fat,
00:09:49.175 --> 00:09:50.876
6% body fat, 50-million-dollar net worth
00:09:50.943 --> 00:09:52.511
50-million-dollar net worth going on over here.
00:09:52.578 --> 00:09:53.713
Going on over here. is there anybody over here
00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:55.615
Is there anybody over here who got to a certain place now
00:09:55.681 --> 00:09:58.284
Who got to a certain place now and it's like this is midian
00:09:58.351 --> 00:09:59.685
And it's like this is midian and i'm tending sheep.
00:09:59.752 --> 00:10:00.653
And i'm tending sheep. i'm very busy,
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.921
But is this the end?
00:10:02.021 --> 00:10:03.990
But is this the end? now, i did not get this idea
00:10:04.056 --> 00:10:05.858
Now, i did not get this idea that i'm gonna tell you
00:10:05.925 --> 00:10:06.559
That i'm gonna tell you about from david goggins.
00:10:06.626 --> 00:10:08.761
About from david goggins. no offense to
00:10:08.828 --> 00:10:09.362
No offense to brother david goggins,
00:10:09.428 --> 00:10:10.796
Brother david goggins, but his energy just gets
00:10:10.863 --> 00:10:11.797
But his energy just gets a little intense
00:10:11.864 --> 00:10:12.365
A little intense for me sometimes.
00:10:12.431 --> 00:10:13.699
For me sometimes. you know, that kind of like,
00:10:13.766 --> 00:10:15.635
You know, that kind of like, "you're a piece of crap.
00:10:15.701 --> 00:10:16.402
Get up and do something
00:10:16.502 --> 00:10:17.069
Get up and do something about it," energy.
00:10:17.136 --> 00:10:18.337
About it," energy. i don't really -
00:10:18.404 --> 00:10:19.138
I don't really - that doesn't really
00:10:19.205 --> 00:10:19.772
That doesn't really work for me very long.
00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:20.573
Work for me very long. i already have that
00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:21.140
I already have that voice in my head,
00:10:21.207 --> 00:10:21.807
Voice in my head, i don't need an external one.
00:10:21.874 --> 00:10:22.608
[laughter]
00:10:22.908 --> 00:10:23.743
I didn't get this piece
00:10:24.243 --> 00:10:24.910
I didn't get this piece of advice from like some
00:10:24.977 --> 00:10:26.112
Of advice from like some "chicken soup for the soul"
00:10:26.178 --> 00:10:27.146
"chicken soup for the soul" book with an
00:10:27.213 --> 00:10:27.647
Book with an inspirational thought.
00:10:27.713 --> 00:10:29.015
Inspirational thought. it was almost like
00:10:29.081 --> 00:10:30.082
It was almost like the lord gave me this -
00:10:30.149 --> 00:10:31.083
The lord gave me this - i've never shared it,
00:10:31.150 --> 00:10:32.118
I've never shared it, even with holly.
00:10:32.184 --> 00:10:33.519
Even with holly. and i looked for the notebook,
00:10:33.586 --> 00:10:36.322
And i looked for the notebook, where i wrote it down
00:10:36.389 --> 00:10:37.156
Where i wrote it down and i can't find it.
00:10:37.223 --> 00:10:39.492
And i can't find it. but something came over me
00:10:39.558 --> 00:10:40.893
But something came over me and i began to write about
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.063
And i began to write about the next five years of my life
00:10:44.130 --> 00:10:45.765
The next five years of my life as if they had already happened,
00:10:45.831 --> 00:10:49.135
As if they had already happened, and as if god were with me.
00:10:49.201 --> 00:10:54.006
And as if god were with me. and i didn't write anything --
00:10:54.073 --> 00:10:55.608
And i didn't write anything -- here's the time to do this.
00:10:55.675 --> 00:10:56.375
Here's the time to do this. i didn't write anything
00:10:56.442 --> 00:10:57.109
I didn't write anything about how bad i felt
00:10:57.176 --> 00:10:57.943
About how bad i felt and how down i was,
00:10:58.010 --> 00:10:59.278
And how down i was, and how lonely it was,
00:10:59.345 --> 00:10:59.912
And how lonely it was, and how - stressed about
00:10:59.979 --> 00:11:03.416
And how - stressed about and all the bills
00:11:03.482 --> 00:11:04.216
And all the bills i need to pay
00:11:04.283 --> 00:11:04.784
I need to pay and all the people
00:11:04.850 --> 00:11:05.317
And all the people depending on me
00:11:05.384 --> 00:11:06.052
Depending on me because i'd done that enough.
00:11:06.118 --> 00:11:08.120
Because i'd done that enough. but i - i took what
00:11:08.187 --> 00:11:10.723
But i - i took what felt like the end
00:11:10.790 --> 00:11:13.626
Felt like the end and i moved it to the middle,
00:11:13.693 --> 00:11:19.265
And i moved it to the middle, and i picked up there
00:11:19.331 --> 00:11:21.233
And i picked up there and i wrote down two words,
00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:23.803
And i wrote down two words, "but he."
00:11:23.869 --> 00:11:27.373
"but he." somebody say, "but he."
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.774
Somebody say, "but he." >> congregation: but he.
00:11:28.841 --> 00:11:30.576
>> congregation: but he. >> and i wrote those words,
00:11:30.643 --> 00:11:33.245
>> and i wrote those words, and it was almost like
00:11:33.312 --> 00:11:34.680
And it was almost like moses, moses.
00:11:34.747 --> 00:11:38.017
Moses, moses. it was like i saw everything
00:11:38.084 --> 00:11:39.752
It was like i saw everything that i had been,
00:11:39.819 --> 00:11:41.153
That i had been, everything that
00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:41.954
Everything that i had been through,
00:11:42.021 --> 00:11:43.155
I had been through, everything that
00:11:43.222 --> 00:11:43.656
Everything that i was wrestling with,
00:11:43.723 --> 00:11:45.591
I was wrestling with, and then that second moses,
00:11:45.658 --> 00:11:47.560
And then that second moses, but he.
00:11:47.626 --> 00:11:49.161
But he. and i began to write -
00:11:49.228 --> 00:11:50.362
And i began to write - my pen began to move,
00:11:50.429 --> 00:11:51.030
My pen began to move, and i began to write
00:11:51.097 --> 00:11:51.630
And i began to write about potential.
00:11:51.697 --> 00:11:53.933
About potential. i began to write,
00:11:53.999 --> 00:11:54.967
I began to write, "but he continued to show up
00:11:55.034 --> 00:11:57.236
"but he continued to show up and preach and god helped him
00:11:57.303 --> 00:11:58.671
And preach and god helped him and gave him messages,
00:11:58.738 --> 00:12:00.239
And gave him messages, that went around the world
00:12:00.306 --> 00:12:01.540
That went around the world in order to help people
00:12:01.607 --> 00:12:02.475
In order to help people with their struggles.
00:12:02.541 --> 00:12:04.343
With their struggles. but he continued
00:12:04.410 --> 00:12:05.277
But he continued to write songs
00:12:05.344 --> 00:12:06.245
To write songs and collaborate with other
00:12:06.312 --> 00:12:07.246
And collaborate with other creative individuals,
00:12:07.313 --> 00:12:09.014
Creative individuals, who were strong
00:12:09.081 --> 00:12:09.548
Who were strong where he was weak
00:12:09.615 --> 00:12:10.449
Where he was weak and so he was able
00:12:10.516 --> 00:12:11.250
And so he was able to continue to be a part
00:12:11.317 --> 00:12:12.985
To continue to be a part of making music for
00:12:13.052 --> 00:12:13.819
Of making music for the people of god to sing
00:12:13.886 --> 00:12:15.054
The people of god to sing and be ministered to by.
00:12:15.121 --> 00:12:17.123
And be ministered to by. but he humbled himself
00:12:17.189 --> 00:12:19.959
But he humbled himself and realized that he didn't
00:12:20.025 --> 00:12:21.026
And realized that he didn't have to be good at everything
00:12:21.093 --> 00:12:22.294
Have to be good at everything as long as he was in touch
00:12:22.361 --> 00:12:23.496
As long as he was in touch with the one who was.
00:12:23.562 --> 00:12:25.197
With the one who was. but he.
00:12:25.264 --> 00:12:26.365
But he. see, what happened was,
00:12:26.432 --> 00:12:28.000
See, what happened was, i showed you this last week.
00:12:28.067 --> 00:12:29.568
I showed you this last week. i made a pivot,
00:12:29.635 --> 00:12:31.270
I made a pivot, and in that moment
00:12:31.337 --> 00:12:32.004
And in that moment that i made a pivot
00:12:32.071 --> 00:12:32.605
That i made a pivot with my pen something
00:12:32.671 --> 00:12:33.973
With my pen something started to come alive
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:34.740
Started to come alive in the spirit.
00:12:34.807 --> 00:12:36.142
In the spirit. and i had began to see
00:12:36.208 --> 00:12:36.942
And i had began to see that what i was dwelling on
00:12:37.009 --> 00:12:38.511
That what i was dwelling on as the end the lord said,
00:12:38.577 --> 00:12:39.745
As the end the lord said, "i know the plans i have you,
00:12:39.812 --> 00:12:40.846
"i know the plans i have you, plans to give you
00:12:40.913 --> 00:12:41.547
Plans to give you a hope and a future."
00:12:41.614 --> 00:12:42.982
A hope and a future." after 70 years are completed
00:12:43.048 --> 00:12:44.083
After 70 years are completed in babylon i will come to you.
00:12:44.150 --> 00:12:45.918
In babylon i will come to you. and after i've come to you
00:12:45.985 --> 00:12:47.019
And after i've come to you and delivered you,
00:12:47.086 --> 00:12:47.620
And delivered you, you will praise me
00:12:47.686 --> 00:12:48.687
You will praise me on this mountain."
00:12:48.754 --> 00:12:49.221
On this mountain." god said to moses,
00:12:49.288 --> 00:12:50.422
God said to moses, "after you have brought
00:12:50.489 --> 00:12:51.624
"after you have brought the people out of egypt,
00:12:51.690 --> 00:12:52.892
The people out of egypt, you will worship god
00:12:52.958 --> 00:12:54.293
You will worship god on this mountain."
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.629
On this mountain." he is taking what moses
00:12:56.695 --> 00:12:59.298
He is taking what moses thinks is the end
00:12:59.365 --> 00:13:01.734
Thinks is the end and moving it to the middle,
00:13:01.801 --> 00:13:04.170
And moving it to the middle, because i'll tell you something,
00:13:04.236 --> 00:13:05.805
Because i'll tell you something, it can be the end
00:13:05.871 --> 00:13:06.639
It can be the end if you let it be.
00:13:06.705 --> 00:13:08.174
If you let it be. if you let it end you,
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.608
If you let it end you, it will end you.
00:13:09.675 --> 00:13:11.110
It will end you. if you let it make you tap,
00:13:11.177 --> 00:13:12.945
If you let it make you tap, it will end you.
00:13:13.012 --> 00:13:14.280
It will end you. if you let it define you,
00:13:14.346 --> 00:13:15.848
If you let it define you, it will define you.
00:13:15.915 --> 00:13:17.550
It will define you. if you let it bury you,
00:13:17.616 --> 00:13:19.018
If you let it bury you, it will bury you.
00:13:19.084 --> 00:13:20.719
It will bury you. but he, but he who began
00:13:20.786 --> 00:13:24.723
But he, but he who began a good work in you -
00:13:24.790 --> 00:13:27.126
A good work in you - now i'm feeling my preacher.
00:13:27.193 --> 00:13:29.595
Now i'm feeling my preacher. he who began a good work in you
00:13:29.662 --> 00:13:33.766
He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
00:13:33.833 --> 00:13:36.702
Will be faithful to complete it. the bible says that
00:13:36.769 --> 00:13:37.469
The bible says that all things work together for
00:13:37.536 --> 00:13:38.737
All things work together for the good of those who love him
00:13:38.804 --> 00:13:39.772
The good of those who love him and are called according
00:13:39.839 --> 00:13:40.706
And are called according to his purpose.
00:13:40.773 --> 00:13:42.341
To his purpose. so, if it's not good,
00:13:42.408 --> 00:13:44.810
So, if it's not good, god's not done.
00:13:44.877 --> 00:13:47.413
God's not done. he said, "i'll bring you
00:13:47.479 --> 00:13:48.480
He said, "i'll bring you to an expected end."
00:13:48.547 --> 00:13:50.850
To an expected end." so, if his purpose
00:13:50.916 --> 00:13:52.084
So, if his purpose isn't finished yet
00:13:52.151 --> 00:13:53.085
Isn't finished yet for this situation,
00:13:53.152 --> 00:13:54.653
For this situation, it is not the end,
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.355
It is not the end, move it to the middle.
00:13:56.422 --> 00:13:58.757
Move it to the middle. i'm talking about the thing
00:13:58.824 --> 00:13:59.625
I'm talking about the thing that you've been crying about,
00:13:59.692 --> 00:14:01.160
That you've been crying about, i'm talking about the thing that
00:14:01.227 --> 00:14:02.294
I'm talking about the thing that you've been gossiping about,
00:14:02.361 --> 00:14:03.963
You've been gossiping about, i'm talking about the thing
00:14:04.029 --> 00:14:05.030
I'm talking about the thing that has had you so down
00:14:05.097 --> 00:14:06.832
That has had you so down you can't rejoice.
00:14:06.899 --> 00:14:08.200
You can't rejoice. i'm talking about the thing
00:14:08.267 --> 00:14:09.301
I'm talking about the thing that has blurred your vision
00:14:09.368 --> 00:14:10.936
That has blurred your vision and fogged your faith.
00:14:11.003 --> 00:14:12.404
And fogged your faith. i'm talking about the thing
00:14:12.471 --> 00:14:13.639
I'm talking about the thing that has beat you
00:14:13.706 --> 00:14:14.340
That has beat you into submission,
00:14:14.406 --> 00:14:15.441
Into submission, the thing that's
00:14:15.507 --> 00:14:15.975
The thing that's got you tied up in knots.
00:14:16.041 --> 00:14:18.878
Got you tied up in knots. you've been treating
00:14:18.944 --> 00:14:19.845
You've been treating it like the end,
00:14:19.912 --> 00:14:22.314
It like the end, and you need to move it
00:14:22.381 --> 00:14:24.617
And you need to move it to the middle.
00:14:24.683 --> 00:14:26.952
To the middle. so, when you're
00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:27.519
So, when you're telling the story,
00:14:27.586 --> 00:14:29.288
Telling the story, it is going to be a chapter
00:14:29.355 --> 00:14:31.724
It is going to be a chapter and a scene not a destiny.
00:14:31.790 --> 00:14:34.360
[cheering and applause]
00:14:34.827 --> 00:14:39.965
That's why it's called midian.
00:14:40.766 --> 00:14:44.403
That's why it's called midian. you aren't meant to live here.
00:14:44.470 --> 00:14:46.438
You aren't meant to live here. you will not die in
00:14:46.505 --> 00:14:47.773
You will not die in this wilderness.
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:49.108
This wilderness. you will not go down
00:14:49.174 --> 00:14:50.442
You will not go down in this state,
00:14:50.509 --> 00:14:51.810
In this state, for there is a burning bush
00:14:51.877 --> 00:14:53.712
For there is a burning bush with your name on it,
00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:55.247
With your name on it, moses, moses.
00:14:55.314 --> 00:14:57.449
Moses, moses. and you know what
00:14:57.516 --> 00:14:58.250
And you know what makes the bush significant,
00:14:58.317 --> 00:15:00.252
Makes the bush significant, it's burning,
00:15:00.319 --> 00:15:01.587
It's burning, but it won't burn up.
00:15:01.654 --> 00:15:03.889
But it won't burn up. it's still burning after
00:15:03.956 --> 00:15:05.824
It's still burning after all it's been through.
00:15:05.891 --> 00:15:07.860
All it's been through. and i'm preaching
00:15:07.927 --> 00:15:08.661
And i'm preaching to somebody today,
00:15:08.727 --> 00:15:10.396
To somebody today, that after all
00:15:10.462 --> 00:15:11.397
That after all you've been through,
00:15:11.463 --> 00:15:13.632
You've been through, after every red sea he split,
00:15:13.699 --> 00:15:16.802
After every red sea he split, after everything
00:15:16.869 --> 00:15:17.803
After everything he forgave you of,
00:15:17.870 --> 00:15:19.972
He forgave you of, after every breath
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.106
After every breath he poured in your lungs,
00:15:21.173 --> 00:15:23.175
He poured in your lungs, after every mercy
00:15:23.242 --> 00:15:24.710
After every mercy he dropped at your door,
00:15:24.777 --> 00:15:27.146
He dropped at your door, you have a reason
00:15:27.212 --> 00:15:31.250
To praise him.
00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:33.452
[applause]
00:15:33.719 --> 00:15:40.793
This is just the middle.
00:15:41.226 --> 00:15:42.995
This is just the middle. this is just the middle.
00:15:43.062 --> 00:15:45.397
This is just the middle. this is just the middle,
00:15:45.464 --> 00:15:47.599
Of course, it's messy.
00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:49.535
Of course, it's messy. it's the middle,
00:15:49.601 --> 00:15:51.036
It's the middle, of course, it's difficult.
00:15:51.103 --> 00:15:52.938
Of course, it's difficult. it's the middle,
00:15:53.005 --> 00:15:54.373
It's the middle, of course, it's dry.
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.275
Of course, it's dry. it's the middle,
00:15:56.342 --> 00:15:58.577
It's the middle, it's always different
00:15:58.644 --> 00:16:00.813
It's always different in the middle.
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.149
In the middle. but the lord said for us
00:16:04.216 --> 00:16:05.050
But the lord said for us to take this thing
00:16:05.117 --> 00:16:05.951
To take this thing that we think is going to be
00:16:06.018 --> 00:16:08.420
That we think is going to be the end of our testimony
00:16:08.487 --> 00:16:10.289
The end of our testimony and move it to the middle,
00:16:10.356 --> 00:16:13.726
And move it to the middle, and let it become,
00:16:13.792 --> 00:16:15.427
And let it become, who is this for?
00:16:15.494 --> 00:16:16.595
Who is this for? let it become the part
00:16:16.662 --> 00:16:17.830
Let it become the part of your story that you say,
00:16:17.896 --> 00:16:20.566
Of your story that you say, "but he," after.
00:16:20.632 --> 00:16:21.900
[applause]
00:16:22.234 --> 00:16:28.674
Do i preach about
00:16:29.174 --> 00:16:29.842
Do i preach about this too much?
00:16:29.908 --> 00:16:32.478
This too much? i feel like every week
00:16:32.544 --> 00:16:33.379
I feel like every week i'm trying to tell you not
00:16:33.445 --> 00:16:34.346
I'm trying to tell you not to quit in a different way.
00:16:34.413 --> 00:16:37.383
To quit in a different way. i feel like every week
00:16:37.449 --> 00:16:38.350
I feel like every week i'm trying to tell you
00:16:38.417 --> 00:16:39.284
I'm trying to tell you it's too soon for you to
00:16:39.351 --> 00:16:40.052
It's too soon for you to sit down and settle in midian
00:16:40.119 --> 00:16:41.653
Sit down and settle in midian when god called you
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.588
When god called you to be a deliverer.
00:16:42.654 --> 00:16:45.090
To be a deliverer. and look what all god
00:16:45.157 --> 00:16:45.891
And look what all god did through moses,
00:16:45.958 --> 00:16:46.959
Did through moses, oh, this is so personal,
00:16:47.026 --> 00:16:49.695
Oh, this is so personal, and he wants to do it for you.
00:16:49.762 --> 00:16:51.630
And he wants to do it for you. the bible says that
00:16:51.697 --> 00:16:52.431
The bible says that he called them by name
00:16:52.498 --> 00:16:54.233
He called them by name to lead them out of egypt
00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:55.267
To lead them out of egypt and look at acts 7:36,
00:16:55.334 --> 00:17:00.739
"he led them out of egypt
00:17:00.839 --> 00:17:02.908
"he led them out of egypt and performed wonders
00:17:02.975 --> 00:17:03.642
And performed wonders and signs in egypt,
00:17:03.709 --> 00:17:05.844
And signs in egypt, at the red sea and for
00:17:05.911 --> 00:17:09.448
At the red sea and for forty years in the wilderness."
00:17:09.515 --> 00:17:11.650
Forty years in the wilderness." now, to me that's got to be
00:17:11.717 --> 00:17:12.518
The saddest scripture
00:17:12.618 --> 00:17:15.788
The saddest scripture that i've read today
00:17:15.854 --> 00:17:18.257
That i've read today is that god spent the first
00:17:18.323 --> 00:17:20.092
Is that god spent the first 40 years preparing moses,
00:17:20.159 --> 00:17:23.362
40 years preparing moses, his basket years,
00:17:23.429 --> 00:17:24.329
His basket years, where he was preserved.
00:17:24.396 --> 00:17:25.564
Where he was preserved. you know, god spent the first
00:17:25.631 --> 00:17:26.665
You know, god spent the first part of your life preparing you.
00:17:26.732 --> 00:17:28.467
Part of your life preparing you. it wasn't easy, it may not
00:17:28.534 --> 00:17:30.335
It wasn't easy, it may not have been what you chose,
00:17:30.402 --> 00:17:31.370
Have been what you chose, but he floated you
00:17:31.437 --> 00:17:33.205
But he floated you to where you needed to be.
00:17:33.272 --> 00:17:36.241
To where you needed to be. then after moses' mistake,
00:17:36.308 --> 00:17:37.843
Then after moses' mistake, he spent the next 40 years
00:17:37.910 --> 00:17:39.678
He spent the next 40 years repairing moses,
00:17:39.745 --> 00:17:42.448
Repairing moses, humbling moses.
00:17:42.514 --> 00:17:46.251
Humbling moses. but after that burning bush
00:17:46.318 --> 00:17:48.487
But after that burning bush moses was meant to lead
00:17:48.554 --> 00:17:49.855
Moses was meant to lead the people into
00:17:49.922 --> 00:17:51.190
The people into the promised land
00:17:51.256 --> 00:17:52.491
The promised land and look what verse 26 says
00:17:52.558 --> 00:17:54.159
And look what verse 26 says or verse 36 says, please.
00:17:54.226 --> 00:17:57.529
"he led them out of egypt
00:17:57.629 --> 00:17:58.897
"he led them out of egypt and performed wonders
00:17:58.964 --> 00:17:59.531
And performed wonders and signs in egypt,
00:17:59.598 --> 00:18:00.032
And signs in egypt, at the red sea
00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:01.300
At the red sea and for forty years
00:18:01.366 --> 00:18:02.234
And for forty years in the wilderness."
00:18:02.301 --> 00:18:02.835
In the wilderness." now, here's the warning,
00:18:02.901 --> 00:18:05.504
Now, here's the warning, he wasn't supposed to be
00:18:05.571 --> 00:18:06.505
He wasn't supposed to be in the wilderness
00:18:06.572 --> 00:18:07.139
In the wilderness with them 40 years.
00:18:07.206 --> 00:18:09.608
With them 40 years. put it back up.
00:18:09.675 --> 00:18:10.709
Put it back up. at the red sea
00:18:10.776 --> 00:18:11.477
At the red sea he performed wonders,
00:18:11.543 --> 00:18:13.112
He performed wonders, the sea split.
00:18:13.178 --> 00:18:14.880
The sea split. in the wilderness,
00:18:14.947 --> 00:18:15.481
In the wilderness, he performed miracles
00:18:15.547 --> 00:18:16.648
He performed miracles for 40 years.
00:18:16.715 --> 00:18:19.251
For 40 years. but the trip through
00:18:19.318 --> 00:18:20.018
But the trip through the wilderness was not
00:18:20.085 --> 00:18:21.086
The wilderness was not meant to be the end,
00:18:21.153 --> 00:18:23.288
Meant to be the end, it was meant to be the middle.
00:18:23.355 --> 00:18:26.225
It was meant to be the middle. to get through the wilderness
00:18:26.291 --> 00:18:27.426
To get through the wilderness to the promised land
00:18:27.493 --> 00:18:28.427
To the promised land would have taken the israelites
00:18:28.494 --> 00:18:29.661
Would have taken the israelites two weeks tops,
00:18:29.728 --> 00:18:32.030
Two weeks tops, how did they switch
00:18:32.097 --> 00:18:33.765
How did they switch and make a 40-year habitation
00:18:33.832 --> 00:18:36.602
And make a 40-year habitation out of a two-week transition?
00:18:36.668 --> 00:18:40.205
Out of a two-week transition? it's because they treated
00:18:40.272 --> 00:18:41.473
The middle like it was the end.
00:18:41.573 --> 00:18:47.012
The middle like it was the end. and there are some things
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:47.880
And there are some things in your life that god
00:18:47.946 --> 00:18:48.647
In your life that god is doing right now,
00:18:48.714 --> 00:18:49.882
Is doing right now, and he's providing for you
00:18:49.948 --> 00:18:51.150
And he's providing for you and he's empowering you,
00:18:51.216 --> 00:18:52.551
And he's empowering you, and he's enabling you
00:18:52.618 --> 00:18:53.752
And he's enabling you and he's sustaining you,
00:18:53.819 --> 00:18:55.220
And he's sustaining you, and he's calling you
00:18:55.287 --> 00:18:56.455
And he's calling you and it's a moses, moses moment.
00:18:56.522 --> 00:18:58.357
And it's a moses, moses moment. and if you come forward
00:18:58.423 --> 00:18:59.324
And if you come forward and look and listen
00:18:59.391 --> 00:19:00.192
And look and listen and turn aside and say,
00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:01.426
And turn aside and say, "wonder why this bush
00:19:01.493 --> 00:19:02.761
"wonder why this bush isn't burning up?
00:19:02.828 --> 00:19:04.196
Isn't burning up? wonder why god left me here?
00:19:04.263 --> 00:19:05.731
Wonder why god left me here? wonder why cancer
00:19:05.797 --> 00:19:06.698
Wonder why cancer didn't kill me?
00:19:06.765 --> 00:19:07.666
Didn't kill me? wonder why depression
00:19:07.733 --> 00:19:08.667
Wonder why depression didn't have the last word?
00:19:08.734 --> 00:19:10.235
Didn't have the last word? wonder why i survived
00:19:10.302 --> 00:19:11.637
Wonder why i survived when they did --
00:19:11.703 --> 00:19:12.504
When they did -- wonder why god put me
00:19:12.571 --> 00:19:13.505
Wonder why god put me at this place and time?
00:19:13.572 --> 00:19:14.873
At this place and time? wonder why god gave me
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.774
Wonder why god gave me these experiences?"
00:19:15.841 --> 00:19:17.009
These experiences?" if you move it to the middle,
00:19:17.075 --> 00:19:18.644
If you move it to the middle, it changes everything.
00:19:18.710 --> 00:19:19.912
It changes everything. so, i close with one
00:19:19.978 --> 00:19:20.779
So, i close with one more illustration.
00:19:20.846 --> 00:19:22.214
More illustration. chris, when we were writing
00:19:22.281 --> 00:19:23.815
Chris, when we were writing the song 'jireh',
00:19:23.882 --> 00:19:25.584
The song 'jireh', i have no idea
00:19:25.651 --> 00:19:26.218
I have no idea if you remember this.
00:19:26.285 --> 00:19:27.386
If you remember this. i would feel sure that you do.
00:19:27.452 --> 00:19:29.488
I would feel sure that you do. that you know the name jireh
00:19:29.555 --> 00:19:32.658
That you know the name jireh comes from one of
00:19:32.724 --> 00:19:33.358
Comes from one of the other times that abraham
00:19:33.425 --> 00:19:35.494
The other times that abraham was gonna sacrifice
00:19:35.561 --> 00:19:36.228
Was gonna sacrifice his son isaac,
00:19:36.295 --> 00:19:38.030
His son isaac, and the lord said,
00:19:38.096 --> 00:19:38.564
And the lord said, "abraham, abraham,
00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:39.531
"abraham, abraham, don't lay a hand on the boy,
00:19:39.598 --> 00:19:40.599
Don't lay a hand on the boy, i've seen that you trust me.
00:19:40.666 --> 00:19:41.533
I've seen that you trust me. i don't want your son
00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:43.368
I don't want your son as a sacrifice
00:19:43.435 --> 00:19:44.036
As a sacrifice i want your trust as worship."
00:19:44.102 --> 00:19:46.838
I want your trust as worship." and there was a ram
00:19:46.905 --> 00:19:47.806
And there was a ram in the bush,
00:19:47.873 --> 00:19:49.541
In the bush, and when abraham saw
00:19:49.608 --> 00:19:51.143
And when abraham saw the place where god provided,
00:19:51.210 --> 00:19:52.344
The place where god provided, he called it 'jehovah jireh.'
00:19:52.411 --> 00:19:55.247
He called it 'jehovah jireh.' it doesn't necessarily mean
00:19:55.314 --> 00:19:56.682
It doesn't necessarily mean just the lord provides,
00:19:56.748 --> 00:19:57.783
Just the lord provides, it means the lord sees
00:19:57.849 --> 00:19:58.951
It means the lord sees and he called that place
00:19:59.017 --> 00:19:59.785
And he called that place jehovah jireh.
00:19:59.851 --> 00:20:01.887
Jehovah jireh. the first time
00:20:01.954 --> 00:20:02.454
The first time that we ever wrote
00:20:02.521 --> 00:20:03.222
That we ever wrote with our friends,
00:20:03.288 --> 00:20:04.256
With our friends, naomi and chandler,
00:20:04.323 --> 00:20:06.825
Naomi and chandler, we sat down and began
00:20:06.892 --> 00:20:08.527
We sat down and began to write a song
00:20:08.594 --> 00:20:09.861
To write a song that ended up being
00:20:09.928 --> 00:20:10.629
That ended up being the song 'jireh.'
00:20:10.696 --> 00:20:12.497
The song 'jireh.' have you heard it?
00:20:12.564 --> 00:20:13.298
Have you heard it? >> congregation: yes.
00:20:13.365 --> 00:20:14.366
>> congregation: yes. >> do you like it?
00:20:14.433 --> 00:20:15.200
>> do you like it? >> congregation: yes.
00:20:15.267 --> 00:20:16.702
>> congregation: yes. >> yeah.
00:20:16.768 --> 00:20:17.803
>> yeah. let me tell you a little thing
00:20:17.869 --> 00:20:18.670
Let me tell you a little thing about that song that
00:20:18.737 --> 00:20:19.738
About that song that i think will cement
00:20:19.805 --> 00:20:20.272
I think will cement this message in your mind.
00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:22.374
This message in your mind. for everything that you
00:20:22.441 --> 00:20:23.041
For everything that you need god to provide.
00:20:23.108 --> 00:20:24.943
Need god to provide. when we began to write
00:20:25.010 --> 00:20:26.378
When we began to write the chorus,
00:20:26.445 --> 00:20:27.412
The chorus, it didn't sound very good.
00:20:27.479 --> 00:20:29.615
It didn't sound very good. it said...
