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

You didn't know this verse, but exodus 3:14
00:00:26.445 --> 00:00:28.514
But exodus 3:14 teaches us something

Teaches us something very powerful.

Yahweh is i am. he wasn't was,
00:00:34.386 --> 00:00:36.021
He wasn't was, he is and gonna be.
00:00:36.088 --> 00:00:37.856

And i've taught you that his name
00:00:42.027 --> 00:00:42.728
That his name being i am means
00:00:42.795 --> 00:00:43.962
Being i am means he's a present help
00:00:44.029 --> 00:00:44.930
He's a present help in the time of trouble.
00:00:44.997 --> 00:00:46.465
In the time of trouble. but what i never taught
00:00:46.532 --> 00:00:47.499
But what i never taught you so clear before
00:00:47.566 --> 00:00:49.034
You so clear before is when he said,
00:00:49.101 --> 00:00:49.701
Is when he said, "i am that i am."
00:00:49.768 --> 00:00:52.738
"i am that i am." the place of that is meant
00:00:52.805 --> 00:00:54.807
The place of that is meant to represent every place
00:00:54.873 --> 00:00:56.408
To represent every place where god will express
00:00:56.475 --> 00:00:57.676
Where god will express his power in your life.
00:00:57.743 --> 00:01:00.179
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
00:01:03.782 --> 00:01:05.050
God wants to accomplish a purpose and in order
00:01:05.117 --> 00:01:05.717
A purpose and in order to accomplish his purpose,
00:01:05.784 --> 00:01:08.187
To accomplish his purpose, he is going to have
00:01:08.253 --> 00:01:08.887
He is going to have to open a door for you that
00:01:08.954 --> 00:01:10.089
To open a door for you that you can't open for yourself
00:01:10.155 --> 00:01:11.457
You can't open for yourself and only god can do that.
00:01:11.523 --> 00:01:13.759
And only god can do that. well, i am that,
00:01:13.826 --> 00:01:15.461
Well, i am that, open door, i am.
00:01:15.527 --> 00:01:17.763
Open door, i am. let's say you're in
00:01:17.830 --> 00:01:18.497
Let's say you're in a season in your life,
00:01:18.564 --> 00:01:19.364
A season in your life, where it looks like
00:01:19.431 --> 00:01:20.032
Where it looks like there's no way you're going
00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:21.100
There's no way you're going to be able to move
00:01:21.166 --> 00:01:22.067
To be able to move through this next month.
00:01:22.134 --> 00:01:23.869
Through this next month. it is so busy,
00:01:23.936 --> 00:01:25.137
It is so busy, it is so hectic,
00:01:25.204 --> 00:01:26.505
It is so hectic, it is so overwhelmed,
00:01:26.572 --> 00:01:28.140
It is so overwhelmed, and you need a sustaining
00:01:28.207 --> 00:01:29.708
And you need a sustaining power in your life.
00:01:29.775 --> 00:01:30.976
Power in your life. come on, a sustaining energy
00:01:31.043 --> 00:01:32.945
Come on, a sustaining energy over your life.
00:01:33.011 --> 00:01:34.012
Over your life. some of you are so tired,
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.681
Some of you are so tired, your biggest prayer
00:01:35.747 --> 00:01:36.648
Your biggest prayer last week was,
00:01:36.715 --> 00:01:37.749
Last week was, "i can't do this."
00:01:37.816 --> 00:01:39.218
"i can't do this." you didn't even have
00:01:39.284 --> 00:01:40.185
You didn't even have the faith left to ask.
00:01:40.252 --> 00:01:41.787
The faith left to ask. every time you thought about it,
00:01:41.854 --> 00:01:43.422
Every time you thought about it, it started twisting up
00:01:43.489 --> 00:01:44.490
It started twisting up inside of you.
00:01:44.556 --> 00:01:45.757
Inside of you. but what you didn't
00:01:45.824 --> 00:01:46.492
But what you didn't realize about god's name
00:01:46.558 --> 00:01:48.360
Realize about god's name is that that feeling,
00:01:48.427 --> 00:01:50.095
Is that that feeling, that place, that need
00:01:50.162 --> 00:01:52.297
That place, that need is the place where god
00:01:52.364 --> 00:01:53.332
Is the place where god wants to express his name.
00:01:53.398 --> 00:01:55.667
Wants to express his name. so, if tired is the place
00:01:55.734 --> 00:01:57.269
So, if tired is the place where you need god to show up,
00:01:57.336 --> 00:01:59.204
Where you need god to show up, that is the place
00:01:59.271 --> 00:02:00.305
That is the place where god's energy will be.
00:02:00.372 --> 00:02:02.341
Where god's energy will be. wherever it is that
00:02:02.407 --> 00:02:03.342
Wherever it is that he has positioned you,
00:02:03.408 --> 00:02:04.877
He has positioned you, that's where it is
00:02:04.943 --> 00:02:05.744
That's where it is that he will empower you.
00:02:05.811 --> 00:02:07.412
That he will empower you. i'll take it further.
00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:08.747
I'll take it further. if there is an insecurity
00:02:08.814 --> 00:02:10.449
If there is an insecurity in your life that makes you
00:02:10.516 --> 00:02:11.984
In your life that makes you think you can't do it,
00:02:12.050 --> 00:02:13.218
Think you can't do it, that's good.
00:02:13.285 --> 00:02:14.353
That's good. the insecurity
00:02:14.419 --> 00:02:15.521
The insecurity is the insurance policy
00:02:15.587 --> 00:02:17.422
Is the insurance policy that lets you know
00:02:17.489 --> 00:02:18.957
That lets you know that when it gets done
00:02:19.024 --> 00:02:20.626
That when it gets done you won't be tempted
00:02:20.692 --> 00:02:21.827
You won't be tempted to take the credit because
00:02:21.894 --> 00:02:23.595
To take the credit because you'll know, and they'll know
00:02:23.662 --> 00:02:25.931
You'll know, and they'll know and everybody who knows you
00:02:25.998 --> 00:02:27.666
And everybody who knows you will know it had to be god.
00:02:27.733 --> 00:02:30.836
Will know it had to be god. i watched him the basket,
00:02:30.903 --> 00:02:33.071
I watched him the basket, i saw them make a mistake
00:02:33.138 --> 00:02:35.140
I saw them make a mistake but somehow god kept
00:02:35.207 --> 00:02:36.808
But somehow god kept drawing them out.
00:02:36.875 --> 00:02:38.377
Drawing them out. and that's what i see
00:02:38.443 --> 00:02:39.578
And that's what i see in this season for your life.
00:02:39.645 --> 00:02:41.613
In this season for your life. you're gonna be drawing
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.848
You're gonna be drawing from the god who drawed
00:02:42.915 --> 00:02:44.616
From the god who drawed you out of the water,
00:02:44.683 --> 00:02:46.051
You out of the water, and you are not going
00:02:46.118 --> 00:02:46.919
And you are not going to run out of resource
00:02:46.985 --> 00:02:48.654
To run out of resource because you will not
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:49.621
Because you will not run out of god.
00:02:49.688 --> 00:02:51.123
Run out of god. you are not going
00:02:51.190 --> 00:02:51.924
You are not going to run out of wisdom
00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:53.392
To run out of wisdom because you will not
00:02:53.458 --> 00:02:54.193
Because you will not run out of god.
00:02:54.259 --> 00:02:55.761
Run out of god. you will not run out of meal
00:02:55.827 --> 00:02:57.563
You will not run out of meal because you will not
00:02:57.629 --> 00:02:58.497
Because you will not run out of god.
00:02:58.564 --> 00:02:59.965
Run out of god. you will not run
00:03:00.032 --> 00:03:00.799
You will not run out of support
00:03:00.866 --> 00:03:01.967
Out of support because you will not
00:03:02.034 --> 00:03:02.801
Because you will not run out of god.
00:03:02.868 --> 00:03:04.303
Run out of god. you will not run out of it
00:03:04.369 --> 00:03:06.071
You will not run out of it because you will run out of him.
00:03:06.138 --> 00:03:10.709
Because you will run out of him. you will not run out of it
00:03:10.776 --> 00:03:12.377
You will not run out of it because you will not
00:03:12.444 --> 00:03:12.945
Run out of him
00:03:13.045 --> 00:03:14.213
Run out of him because i am that i am.
00:03:14.279 --> 00:03:17.115
[cheering and applause]
00:03:17.382 --> 00:03:23.121
Take your need
00:03:24.256 --> 00:03:25.290
Take your need and move it to the middle
00:03:25.357 --> 00:03:27.125
And move it to the middle and make a great i am sandwich.
00:03:27.192 --> 00:03:30.162
And god says i am that i am.
00:03:30.262 --> 00:03:33.932
And god says i am that i am. boy, if i'd have
00:03:33.999 --> 00:03:34.466
Boy, if i'd have planned this better,
00:03:34.533 --> 00:03:35.200
Planned this better, i'd have brought some bologna.
00:03:35.267 --> 00:03:36.368
[laughter]
00:03:36.635 --> 00:03:37.970
And some pumpernickel
00:03:38.337 --> 00:03:40.472
And some pumpernickel bread up here
00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:41.707
Bread up here and i would've showed you
00:03:41.773 --> 00:03:42.507
And i would've showed you how to sandwich your
00:03:42.574 --> 00:03:43.475
How to sandwich your situation by the presence
00:03:43.542 --> 00:03:46.311
Situation by the presence and the spoken promise of god
00:03:46.378 --> 00:03:48.847
And the spoken promise of god and move it to the middle.
00:03:48.914 --> 00:03:54.519
And move it to the middle. what we know that
00:03:54.586 --> 00:03:56.521
What we know that moses doesn't know -
00:03:56.588 --> 00:03:57.489
Moses doesn't know - and that's a bold statement
00:03:57.556 --> 00:03:58.357
And that's a bold statement because the bible said,
00:03:58.423 --> 00:03:59.024
Because the bible said, "other prophets have i
00:03:59.091 --> 00:03:59.658
"other prophets have i spoken to other ways,
00:03:59.725 --> 00:04:00.592
Spoken to other ways, but moses i spoke
00:04:00.659 --> 00:04:01.426
But moses i spoke to face to face."
00:04:01.493 --> 00:04:02.160
To face to face." now, that's in numbers
00:04:02.227 --> 00:04:03.729
Now, that's in numbers after they complained to moses
00:04:03.795 --> 00:04:05.497
After they complained to moses and didn't appreciate him.
00:04:05.564 --> 00:04:07.165
And didn't appreciate him. ooh, i almost forgot
00:04:07.232 --> 00:04:07.933
Ooh, i almost forgot to say this.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:08.867
To say this. thank you, lord.
00:04:08.934 --> 00:04:10.636
Thank you, lord. his hesitancy to do
00:04:10.702 --> 00:04:11.770
His hesitancy to do what god called him to do
00:04:11.837 --> 00:04:12.638
What god called him to do 'cause he argued
00:04:12.704 --> 00:04:13.138
'cause he argued back and forth with god,
00:04:13.205 --> 00:04:14.806
Back and forth with god, his hesitancy to do it
00:04:14.873 --> 00:04:17.476
His hesitancy to do it wasn't rooted in rebellion,
00:04:17.542 --> 00:04:20.846
Wasn't rooted in rebellion, it was rooted in rejection.
00:04:20.912 --> 00:04:27.286
It was rooted in rejection. because he tried to do this
00:04:27.352 --> 00:04:28.153
Because he tried to do this the first time it didn't work.
00:04:28.220 --> 00:04:32.057
The first time it didn't work. the first time he tried
00:04:32.124 --> 00:04:32.791
The first time he tried to fight for his people
00:04:32.858 --> 00:04:33.825
To fight for his people it cost him 40 years
00:04:33.892 --> 00:04:36.028
It cost him 40 years in the wilderness.
00:04:36.094 --> 00:04:38.930
In the wilderness. and now you understand
00:04:38.997 --> 00:04:39.698
And now you understand why you're uncomfortable
00:04:39.765 --> 00:04:40.699
Why you're uncomfortable receiving love from others
00:04:40.766 --> 00:04:43.802
Receiving love from others and when people try
00:04:43.869 --> 00:04:44.503
And when people try to treat you good,
00:04:44.569 --> 00:04:45.237
To treat you good, you treat them bad
00:04:45.304 --> 00:04:46.071
You treat them bad just to get things back
00:04:46.138 --> 00:04:46.938
Just to get things back to the natural habitat
00:04:47.005 --> 00:04:48.140
To the natural habitat that you're used to.
00:04:48.206 --> 00:04:51.209
That you're used to. seeking the lower state because
00:04:51.276 --> 00:04:53.312
Seeking the lower state because it's the state that you know.
00:04:53.378 --> 00:04:56.882
It's the state that you know. he wasn't rebelling
00:04:56.948 --> 00:04:57.649
He wasn't rebelling against god, that's jonah.
00:04:57.716 --> 00:05:01.486
Against god, that's jonah. he wasn't rebelling
00:05:01.553 --> 00:05:02.120
He wasn't rebelling against god, that's jonah.
00:05:02.187 --> 00:05:03.789
Against god, that's jonah. he was rejected by them.
00:05:03.855 --> 00:05:07.192
He was rejected by them. and the rejection takes root
00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:09.795
And the rejection takes root and gets to the place
00:05:09.861 --> 00:05:10.696
And gets to the place where you go,
00:05:10.762 --> 00:05:11.330
Where you go, "i don't really wanna
00:05:11.396 --> 00:05:11.863
"i don't really wanna put it out there
00:05:11.930 --> 00:05:12.698
Put it out there like that anymore."
00:05:12.764 --> 00:05:16.268
Like that anymore." i love when y'all get quiet.
00:05:16.335 --> 00:05:18.370
[laughter]
00:05:18.637 --> 00:05:21.206
Thinking about those
00:05:22.607 --> 00:05:24.409
Thinking about those hesitancies in your life
00:05:24.476 --> 00:05:26.611
Hesitancies in your life to trust god because of
00:05:26.678 --> 00:05:28.780
To trust god because of a root of rejection,
00:05:28.847 --> 00:05:30.816
A root of rejection, where the first time
00:05:30.882 --> 00:05:31.316
Where the first time it didn't work.
00:05:31.383 --> 00:05:34.286
It didn't work. and after 40 years
00:05:34.353 --> 00:05:36.355
And after 40 years you pretty much assume
00:05:36.421 --> 00:05:37.122
You pretty much assume this is it
00:05:37.189 --> 00:05:39.057
This is it and there's not much
00:05:39.124 --> 00:05:39.558
And there's not much i can do about it.
00:05:39.624 --> 00:05:42.294
I can do about it. but moses should have known,
00:05:42.361 --> 00:05:44.162
But moses should have known, he should have known because
00:05:44.229 --> 00:05:44.796
He should have known because he was no ordinary child.
00:05:44.863 --> 00:05:47.165
He was no ordinary child. that even in those 40 years
00:05:47.232 --> 00:05:48.834
That even in those 40 years and even with his perceived
00:05:48.900 --> 00:05:50.402
And even with his perceived lack of natural talent to speak,
00:05:50.469 --> 00:05:51.870
Lack of natural talent to speak, watch this, he should have
00:05:51.937 --> 00:05:53.572
Watch this, he should have known this can't be the end.
00:05:53.638 --> 00:05:58.677
Known this can't be the end. it's called midian.
00:05:58.744 --> 00:06:01.313
[laughter]
00:06:01.580 --> 00:06:04.216
This can't be the end,
00:06:05.484 --> 00:06:07.819
This can't be the end, it's midian.
00:06:07.886 --> 00:06:10.255
It's midian. now, a few years ago
00:06:10.322 --> 00:06:11.923
Now, a few years ago i was having my own
00:06:11.990 --> 00:06:13.091
I was having my own sort of moses moment.
00:06:13.158 --> 00:06:15.260
Sort of moses moment. "i know, boohoo, wa-wa.
00:06:15.327 --> 00:06:17.963
"i know, boohoo, wa-wa. tell us your therapy session,
00:06:18.029 --> 00:06:19.197
Tell us your therapy session, pastor steven,
00:06:19.264 --> 00:06:19.898
Pastor steven, that's what we came for."
00:06:19.965 --> 00:06:20.665
That's what we came for." no, no.
00:06:20.732 --> 00:06:21.500
No, no. i'm just trying to relate this
00:06:21.566 --> 00:06:24.102
I'm just trying to relate this because it's one of
00:06:24.169 --> 00:06:24.603
Because it's one of the most powerful things
00:06:24.669 --> 00:06:25.404
The most powerful things that i ever did in my life.
00:06:25.470 --> 00:06:27.105
That i ever did in my life. it helped me so much.
00:06:27.172 --> 00:06:28.707
It helped me so much. the story that was going
00:06:28.774 --> 00:06:30.008
The story that was going in my mind was a little bit
00:06:30.075 --> 00:06:31.676
In my mind was a little bit like the moses story
00:06:31.743 --> 00:06:33.345
Like the moses story in that i'd had a few things
00:06:33.412 --> 00:06:35.514
In that i'd had a few things that i tried to do in
00:06:35.580 --> 00:06:37.182
That i tried to do in an effort to trust god
00:06:37.249 --> 00:06:38.183
An effort to trust god and i'm sure i didn't
00:06:38.250 --> 00:06:38.784
And i'm sure i didn't do them perfectly,
00:06:38.850 --> 00:06:39.584
Do them perfectly, but i was doing them sincerely.
00:06:39.651 --> 00:06:41.486
But i was doing them sincerely. you ever been there?
00:06:41.553 --> 00:06:42.087
You ever been there? i'm not saying i did it
00:06:42.154 --> 00:06:43.321
I'm not saying i did it exactly right,
00:06:43.388 --> 00:06:43.955
Exactly right, but i meant well, okay?
00:06:44.022 --> 00:06:46.291
But i meant well, okay? i meant well.
00:06:46.358 --> 00:06:46.691
I meant well. i'm not saying
00:06:46.758 --> 00:06:47.125
I'm not saying it wasn't a mistake,
00:06:47.192 --> 00:06:47.692
But i meant well.
00:06:47.793 --> 00:06:48.627
But i meant well. that's moses's story,
00:06:48.693 --> 00:06:49.761
That's moses's story, that's why he's in midian.
00:06:49.828 --> 00:06:51.163
That's why he's in midian. "i meant well.
00:06:51.229 --> 00:06:51.863
"i meant well. i was trying to
00:06:51.930 --> 00:06:52.497
I was trying to protect an israelite,
00:06:52.564 --> 00:06:54.332
Protect an israelite, but i ended up
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:54.900
But i ended up killing an egyptian.
00:06:54.966 --> 00:06:56.067
Killing an egyptian. and maybe i shouldn't have
00:06:56.134 --> 00:06:57.035
And maybe i shouldn't have gotten in the middle of it."
00:06:57.102 --> 00:06:59.371
Gotten in the middle of it." so, now he's on the far side
00:06:59.438 --> 00:07:01.573
So, now he's on the far side of the desert in a place
00:07:01.640 --> 00:07:03.375
Of the desert in a place called midian.
00:07:03.442 --> 00:07:05.177
This place will ultimately
00:07:05.277 --> 00:07:06.344
This place will ultimately be the mountain,
00:07:06.411 --> 00:07:06.778
Be the mountain, where god will give
00:07:06.845 --> 00:07:07.479
Where god will give the commandments, mount sinai,
00:07:07.546 --> 00:07:09.247
The commandments, mount sinai, but it's not yet
00:07:09.314 --> 00:07:11.049
But it's not yet because it's just the middle.
00:07:11.116 --> 00:07:13.151
Because it's just the middle. now, here's moses tending
00:07:13.218 --> 00:07:15.153
Now, here's moses tending his sheep, all of a sudden,
00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:17.088
His sheep, all of a sudden, the burning bush,
00:07:17.155 --> 00:07:17.889
The burning bush, go to otis,
00:07:17.956 --> 00:07:20.358
Go to otis, becomes the focal point.
00:07:20.425 --> 00:07:22.928
Becomes the focal point. and moses moves over in order
00:07:22.994 --> 00:07:26.698
And moses moves over in order to see why it doesn't burn up.
00:07:26.765 --> 00:07:29.301
To see why it doesn't burn up. okay, now, go back
00:07:29.367 --> 00:07:30.035
Okay, now, go back to the normal camera shot.
00:07:30.101 --> 00:07:31.670
To the normal camera shot. as he's doing this,
00:07:31.736 --> 00:07:32.804
As he's doing this, the voice of the lord
00:07:32.871 --> 00:07:33.605
The voice of the lord speaks to him
00:07:33.672 --> 00:07:34.539
Speaks to him about the future
00:07:34.606 --> 00:07:35.173
About the future that god has planned for him,
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:36.374
That god has planned for him, which revolves around
00:07:36.441 --> 00:07:37.309
Which revolves around the purpose that god
00:07:37.375 --> 00:07:37.809
The purpose that god has created him for.
00:07:37.876 --> 00:07:38.877
Has created him for. now, that's what this is about
00:07:38.944 --> 00:07:40.111
Now, that's what this is about in your life nothing else.
00:07:40.178 --> 00:07:42.113
In your life nothing else. for a few days forget
00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:44.082
For a few days forget about your preference
00:07:44.149 --> 00:07:45.250
About your preference and your plan of the way
00:07:45.317 --> 00:07:46.351
And your plan of the way you want the situation
00:07:46.418 --> 00:07:47.486
You want the situation to turn out.
00:07:47.552 --> 00:07:48.987
To turn out. because i see you
00:07:49.054 --> 00:07:49.654
Because i see you going through a valley
00:07:49.721 --> 00:07:51.223
Going through a valley and that feels like
00:07:51.289 --> 00:07:52.090
And that feels like that's all there is.
00:07:52.157 --> 00:07:53.992
That's all there is. well, i was recently reminded
00:07:54.059 --> 00:07:55.160
Well, i was recently reminded that it can only be a valley
00:07:55.227 --> 00:07:56.595
That it can only be a valley if there are mountains
00:07:56.661 --> 00:07:57.395
If there are mountains on either side of it.
00:07:57.462 --> 00:08:01.032
On either side of it. so, now we've got a moses,
00:08:01.099 --> 00:08:02.200
So, now we've got a moses, who spent 40 years rough start.
00:08:02.267 --> 00:08:05.103
Who spent 40 years rough start. he went through a dry season
00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:07.105
He went through a dry season and now god is bringing him
00:08:07.172 --> 00:08:08.306
And now god is bringing him to an expected end
00:08:08.373 --> 00:08:09.774
To an expected end to be the leader that god
00:08:09.841 --> 00:08:11.076
To be the leader that god has always meant for him to be
00:08:11.142 --> 00:08:14.012
Has always meant for him to be and he's in a place
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.547
And he's in a place called midian.
00:08:15.614 --> 00:08:17.582
Called midian. well, as i was going through
00:08:17.649 --> 00:08:18.583
Well, as i was going through some of my self-pitying moments
00:08:18.650 --> 00:08:21.620
Some of my self-pitying moments and specifically the narrative
00:08:21.686 --> 00:08:23.688
And specifically the narrative that was playing out
00:08:23.755 --> 00:08:25.023
That was playing out is the best is behind me.
00:08:25.090 --> 00:08:28.159
Is the best is behind me. now, i think that's one
00:08:28.226 --> 00:08:29.127
Now, i think that's one of the lies that the devil
00:08:29.194 --> 00:08:30.395
Of the lies that the devil tells that we don't talk about
00:08:30.462 --> 00:08:32.797
Tells that we don't talk about very much that we all walk
00:08:32.864 --> 00:08:34.299
Very much that we all walk around wondering about.
00:08:34.366 --> 00:08:36.134
Around wondering about. it's like, is this going to be
00:08:36.201 --> 00:08:38.003
It's like, is this going to be all there is for my life?
00:08:38.069 --> 00:08:40.505
All there is for my life? and it doesn't take a divorce
00:08:40.572 --> 00:08:41.806
And it doesn't take a divorce to make you feel that way.
00:08:41.873 --> 00:08:43.675
To make you feel that way. it doesn't take turning 45
00:08:43.742 --> 00:08:46.444
It doesn't take turning 45 to make you feel that way.
00:08:46.511 --> 00:08:48.346
To make you feel that way. it doesn't take having to
00:08:48.413 --> 00:08:49.147
It doesn't take having to wear readers to make
00:08:49.214 --> 00:08:49.915
Wear readers to make you feel that way,
00:08:49.981 --> 00:08:51.316
You feel that way, you can hit a wall
00:08:51.383 --> 00:08:52.417
You can hit a wall in your life,
00:08:52.484 --> 00:08:53.418
In your life, where you wonder,
00:08:53.485 --> 00:08:54.419
Where you wonder, "is this the most joy
00:08:54.486 --> 00:08:56.121
"is this the most joy i'm going to experience?
00:08:56.187 --> 00:08:57.556
I'm going to experience? is this the most difference
00:08:57.622 --> 00:08:59.124
Is this the most difference i'm going to make?
00:08:59.190 --> 00:09:00.191
I'm going to make? is this the greatest
00:09:00.258 --> 00:09:01.226
Is this the greatest accomplishment that
00:09:01.293 --> 00:09:02.127
Accomplishment that i'm ever going to accomplish?"
00:09:02.193 --> 00:09:03.828
I'm ever going to accomplish?" and then, you hit a wall,
00:09:03.895 --> 00:09:05.297
And then, you hit a wall, or you hit what
00:09:05.363 --> 00:09:05.964
Or you hit what you call a failure.
00:09:06.031 --> 00:09:07.132
You call a failure. it may not be a failure,
00:09:07.198 --> 00:09:08.166
It may not be a failure, you just see it as a failure
00:09:08.233 --> 00:09:09.935
You just see it as a failure and so then the enemy
00:09:10.001 --> 00:09:11.102
And so then the enemy says it's the end.
00:09:11.169 --> 00:09:13.738
Says it's the end. the enemy loves to tell you
00:09:13.805 --> 00:09:16.308
The enemy loves to tell you where the end is,
00:09:16.374 --> 00:09:19.277
Where the end is, so does god.
00:09:19.344 --> 00:09:22.013
So does god. and as i was sitting with this,
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.349
And as i was sitting with this, i think it had been going on
00:09:24.416 --> 00:09:25.283
I think it had been going on a couple of months,
00:09:25.350 --> 00:09:26.751
A couple of months, i was sitting with this feeling
00:09:26.818 --> 00:09:28.653
I was sitting with this feeling that my best work is behind me,
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.255
That my best work is behind me, my best sermons are behind me,
00:09:30.322 --> 00:09:31.656
My best sermons are behind me, my best songs are behind me.
00:09:31.723 --> 00:09:33.091
My best songs are behind me. it was just -
00:09:33.158 --> 00:09:33.725
It was just - it was an avalanche.
00:09:33.792 --> 00:09:35.760
It was an avalanche. i'mma come to this side
00:09:35.827 --> 00:09:36.494
I'mma come to this side and see if anybody has
00:09:36.561 --> 00:09:37.462
And see if anybody has ever felt this way before.
00:09:37.529 --> 00:09:39.297
Ever felt this way before. they are looking at me like
00:09:39.364 --> 00:09:40.098
They are looking at me like they are on a streak, man.
00:09:40.165 --> 00:09:42.267
They are on a streak, man. they are on a roll over here.
00:09:42.334 --> 00:09:44.302
They are on a roll over here. they are winning medals,
00:09:44.369 --> 00:09:45.904
They are winning medals, and getting raises
00:09:45.971 --> 00:09:47.305
And getting raises and paying no taxes,
00:09:47.372 --> 00:09:49.107
And paying no taxes, 6% body fat,
00:09:49.174 --> 00:09:50.875
6% body fat, 50-million-dollar net worth
00:09:50.942 --> 00:09:52.510
50-million-dollar net worth going on over here.
00:09:52.577 --> 00:09:53.712
Going on over here. is there anybody over here
00:09:53.778 --> 00:09:55.614
Is there anybody over here who got to a certain place now
00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:58.283
Who got to a certain place now and it's like this is midian
00:09:58.350 --> 00:09:59.684
And it's like this is midian and i'm tending sheep.
00:09:59.751 --> 00:10:00.652
And i'm tending sheep. i'm very busy,
00:10:00.719 --> 00:10:01.920
But is this the end?
00:10:02.020 --> 00:10:03.989
But is this the end? now, i did not get this idea
00:10:04.055 --> 00:10:05.857
Now, i did not get this idea that i'm gonna tell you
00:10:05.924 --> 00:10:06.558
That i'm gonna tell you about from david goggins.
00:10:06.625 --> 00:10:08.760
About from david goggins. no offense to
00:10:08.827 --> 00:10:09.361
No offense to brother david goggins,
00:10:09.427 --> 00:10:10.795
Brother david goggins, but his energy just gets
00:10:10.862 --> 00:10:11.796
But his energy just gets a little intense
00:10:11.863 --> 00:10:12.364
A little intense for me sometimes.
00:10:12.430 --> 00:10:13.698
For me sometimes. you know, that kind of like,
00:10:13.765 --> 00:10:15.634
You know, that kind of like, "you're a piece of crap.
00:10:15.700 --> 00:10:16.401
Get up and do something
00:10:16.501 --> 00:10:17.068
Get up and do something about it," energy.
00:10:17.135 --> 00:10:18.336
About it," energy. i don't really -
00:10:18.403 --> 00:10:19.137
I don't really - that doesn't really
00:10:19.204 --> 00:10:19.771
That doesn't really work for me very long.
00:10:19.838 --> 00:10:20.572
Work for me very long. i already have that
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.139
I already have that voice in my head,
00:10:21.206 --> 00:10:21.806
Voice in my head, i don't need an external one.
00:10:21.873 --> 00:10:22.607
[laughter]
00:10:22.907 --> 00:10:23.742
I didn't get this piece
00:10:24.242 --> 00:10:24.909
I didn't get this piece of advice from like some
00:10:24.976 --> 00:10:26.111
Of advice from like some "chicken soup for the soul"
00:10:26.177 --> 00:10:27.145
"chicken soup for the soul" book with an
00:10:27.212 --> 00:10:27.646
Book with an inspirational thought.
00:10:27.712 --> 00:10:29.014
Inspirational thought. it was almost like
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:30.081
It was almost like the lord gave me this -
00:10:30.148 --> 00:10:31.082
The lord gave me this - i've never shared it,
00:10:31.149 --> 00:10:32.117
I've never shared it, even with holly.
00:10:32.183 --> 00:10:33.518
Even with holly. and i looked for the notebook,
00:10:33.585 --> 00:10:36.321
And i looked for the notebook, where i wrote it down
00:10:36.388 --> 00:10:37.155
Where i wrote it down and i can't find it.
00:10:37.222 --> 00:10:39.491
And i can't find it. but something came over me
00:10:39.557 --> 00:10:40.892
But something came over me and i began to write about
00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:44.062
And i began to write about the next five years of my life
00:10:44.129 --> 00:10:45.764
The next five years of my life as if they had already happened,
00:10:45.830 --> 00:10:49.134
As if they had already happened, and as if god were with me.
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:54.005
And as if god were with me. and i didn't write anything --
00:10:54.072 --> 00:10:55.607
And i didn't write anything -- here's the time to do this.
00:10:55.674 --> 00:10:56.374
Here's the time to do this. i didn't write anything
00:10:56.441 --> 00:10:57.108
I didn't write anything about how bad i felt
00:10:57.175 --> 00:10:57.942
About how bad i felt and how down i was,
00:10:58.009 --> 00:10:59.277
And how down i was, and how lonely it was,
00:10:59.344 --> 00:10:59.911
And how lonely it was, and how - stressed about
00:10:59.978 --> 00:11:03.415
And how - stressed about and all the bills
00:11:03.481 --> 00:11:04.215
And all the bills i need to pay
00:11:04.282 --> 00:11:04.783
I need to pay and all the people
00:11:04.849 --> 00:11:05.316
And all the people depending on me
00:11:05.383 --> 00:11:06.051
Depending on me because i'd done that enough.
00:11:06.117 --> 00:11:08.119
Because i'd done that enough. but i - i took what
00:11:08.186 --> 00:11:10.722
But i - i took what felt like the end
00:11:10.789 --> 00:11:13.625
Felt like the end and i moved it to the middle,
00:11:13.692 --> 00:11:19.264
And i moved it to the middle, and i picked up there
00:11:19.330 --> 00:11:21.232
And i picked up there and i wrote down two words,
00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:23.802
And i wrote down two words, "but he."
00:11:23.868 --> 00:11:27.372
"but he." somebody say, "but he."
00:11:27.439 --> 00:11:28.773
Somebody say, "but he." >> congregation: but he.
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.575
>> congregation: but he. >> and i wrote those words,
00:11:30.642 --> 00:11:33.244
>> and i wrote those words, and it was almost like
00:11:33.311 --> 00:11:34.679
And it was almost like moses, moses.
00:11:34.746 --> 00:11:38.016
Moses, moses. it was like i saw everything
00:11:38.083 --> 00:11:39.751
It was like i saw everything that i had been,
00:11:39.818 --> 00:11:41.152
That i had been, everything that
00:11:41.219 --> 00:11:41.953
Everything that i had been through,
00:11:42.020 --> 00:11:43.154
I had been through, everything that
00:11:43.221 --> 00:11:43.655
Everything that i was wrestling with,
00:11:43.722 --> 00:11:45.590
I was wrestling with, and then that second moses,
00:11:45.657 --> 00:11:47.559
And then that second moses, but he.
00:11:47.625 --> 00:11:49.160
But he. and i began to write -
00:11:49.227 --> 00:11:50.361
And i began to write - my pen began to move,
00:11:50.428 --> 00:11:51.029
My pen began to move, and i began to write
00:11:51.096 --> 00:11:51.629
And i began to write about potential.
00:11:51.696 --> 00:11:53.932
About potential. i began to write,
00:11:53.998 --> 00:11:54.966
I began to write, "but he continued to show up
00:11:55.033 --> 00:11:57.235
"but he continued to show up and preach and god helped him
00:11:57.302 --> 00:11:58.670
And preach and god helped him and gave him messages,
00:11:58.737 --> 00:12:00.238
And gave him messages, that went around the world
00:12:00.305 --> 00:12:01.539
That went around the world in order to help people
00:12:01.606 --> 00:12:02.474
In order to help people with their struggles.
00:12:02.540 --> 00:12:04.342
With their struggles. but he continued
00:12:04.409 --> 00:12:05.276
But he continued to write songs
00:12:05.343 --> 00:12:06.244
To write songs and collaborate with other
00:12:06.311 --> 00:12:07.245
And collaborate with other creative individuals,
00:12:07.312 --> 00:12:09.013
Creative individuals, who were strong
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:09.547
Who were strong where he was weak
00:12:09.614 --> 00:12:10.448
Where he was weak and so he was able
00:12:10.515 --> 00:12:11.249
And so he was able to continue to be a part
00:12:11.316 --> 00:12:12.984
To continue to be a part of making music for
00:12:13.051 --> 00:12:13.818
Of making music for the people of god to sing
00:12:13.885 --> 00:12:15.053
The people of god to sing and be ministered to by.
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.122
And be ministered to by. but he humbled himself
00:12:17.188 --> 00:12:19.958
But he humbled himself and realized that he didn't
00:12:20.024 --> 00:12:21.025
And realized that he didn't have to be good at everything
00:12:21.092 --> 00:12:22.293
Have to be good at everything as long as he was in touch
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.495
As long as he was in touch with the one who was.
00:12:23.561 --> 00:12:25.196
With the one who was. but he.
00:12:25.263 --> 00:12:26.364
But he. see, what happened was,
00:12:26.431 --> 00:12:27.999
See, what happened was, i showed you this last week.
00:12:28.066 --> 00:12:29.567
I showed you this last week. i made a pivot,
00:12:29.634 --> 00:12:31.269
I made a pivot, and in that moment
00:12:31.336 --> 00:12:32.003
And in that moment that i made a pivot
00:12:32.070 --> 00:12:32.604
That i made a pivot with my pen something
00:12:32.670 --> 00:12:33.972
With my pen something started to come alive
00:12:34.038 --> 00:12:34.739
Started to come alive in the spirit.
00:12:34.806 --> 00:12:36.141
In the spirit. and i had began to see
00:12:36.207 --> 00:12:36.941
And i had began to see that what i was dwelling on
00:12:37.008 --> 00:12:38.510
That what i was dwelling on as the end the lord said,
00:12:38.576 --> 00:12:39.744
As the end the lord said, "i know the plans i have you,
00:12:39.811 --> 00:12:40.845
"i know the plans i have you, plans to give you
00:12:40.912 --> 00:12:41.546
Plans to give you a hope and a future."
00:12:41.613 --> 00:12:42.981
A hope and a future." after 70 years are completed
00:12:43.047 --> 00:12:44.082
After 70 years are completed in babylon i will come to you.
00:12:44.149 --> 00:12:45.917
In babylon i will come to you. and after i've come to you
00:12:45.984 --> 00:12:47.018
And after i've come to you and delivered you,
00:12:47.085 --> 00:12:47.619
And delivered you, you will praise me
00:12:47.685 --> 00:12:48.686
You will praise me on this mountain."
00:12:48.753 --> 00:12:49.220
On this mountain." god said to moses,
00:12:49.287 --> 00:12:50.421
God said to moses, "after you have brought
00:12:50.488 --> 00:12:51.623
"after you have brought the people out of egypt,
00:12:51.689 --> 00:12:52.891
The people out of egypt, you will worship god
00:12:52.957 --> 00:12:54.292
You will worship god on this mountain."
00:12:54.359 --> 00:12:56.628
On this mountain." he is taking what moses
00:12:56.694 --> 00:12:59.297
He is taking what moses thinks is the end
00:12:59.364 --> 00:13:01.733
Thinks is the end and moving it to the middle,
00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:04.169
And moving it to the middle, because i'll tell you something,
00:13:04.235 --> 00:13:05.804
Because i'll tell you something, it can be the end
00:13:05.870 --> 00:13:06.638
It can be the end if you let it be.
00:13:06.704 --> 00:13:08.173
If you let it be. if you let it end you,
00:13:08.239 --> 00:13:09.607
If you let it end you, it will end you.
00:13:09.674 --> 00:13:11.109
It will end you. if you let it make you tap,
00:13:11.176 --> 00:13:12.944
If you let it make you tap, it will end you.
00:13:13.011 --> 00:13:14.279
It will end you. if you let it define you,
00:13:14.345 --> 00:13:15.847
If you let it define you, it will define you.
00:13:15.914 --> 00:13:17.549
It will define you. if you let it bury you,
00:13:17.615 --> 00:13:19.017
If you let it bury you, it will bury you.
00:13:19.083 --> 00:13:20.718
It will bury you. but he, but he who began
00:13:20.785 --> 00:13:24.722
But he, but he who began a good work in you -
00:13:24.789 --> 00:13:27.125
A good work in you - now i'm feeling my preacher.
00:13:27.192 --> 00:13:29.594
Now i'm feeling my preacher. he who began a good work in you
00:13:29.661 --> 00:13:33.765
He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
00:13:33.832 --> 00:13:36.701
Will be faithful to complete it. the bible says that
00:13:36.768 --> 00:13:37.468
The bible says that all things work together for
00:13:37.535 --> 00:13:38.736
All things work together for the good of those who love him
00:13:38.803 --> 00:13:39.771
The good of those who love him and are called according
00:13:39.838 --> 00:13:40.705
And are called according to his purpose.
00:13:40.772 --> 00:13:42.340
To his purpose. so, if it's not good,
00:13:42.407 --> 00:13:44.809
So, if it's not good, god's not done.
00:13:44.876 --> 00:13:47.412
God's not done. he said, "i'll bring you
00:13:47.478 --> 00:13:48.479
He said, "i'll bring you to an expected end."
00:13:48.546 --> 00:13:50.849
To an expected end." so, if his purpose
00:13:50.915 --> 00:13:52.083
So, if his purpose isn't finished yet
00:13:52.150 --> 00:13:53.084
Isn't finished yet for this situation,
00:13:53.151 --> 00:13:54.652
For this situation, it is not the end,
00:13:54.719 --> 00:13:56.354
It is not the end, move it to the middle.
00:13:56.421 --> 00:13:58.756
Move it to the middle. i'm talking about the thing
00:13:58.823 --> 00:13:59.624
I'm talking about the thing that you've been crying about,
00:13:59.691 --> 00:14:01.159
That you've been crying about, i'm talking about the thing that
00:14:01.226 --> 00:14:02.293
I'm talking about the thing that you've been gossiping about,
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:03.962
You've been gossiping about, i'm talking about the thing
00:14:04.028 --> 00:14:05.029
I'm talking about the thing that has had you so down
00:14:05.096 --> 00:14:06.831
That has had you so down you can't rejoice.
00:14:06.898 --> 00:14:08.199
You can't rejoice. i'm talking about the thing
00:14:08.266 --> 00:14:09.300
I'm talking about the thing that has blurred your vision
00:14:09.367 --> 00:14:10.935
That has blurred your vision and fogged your faith.
00:14:11.002 --> 00:14:12.403
And fogged your faith. i'm talking about the thing
00:14:12.470 --> 00:14:13.638
I'm talking about the thing that has beat you
00:14:13.705 --> 00:14:14.339
That has beat you into submission,
00:14:14.405 --> 00:14:15.440
Into submission, the thing that's
00:14:15.506 --> 00:14:15.974
The thing that's got you tied up in knots.
00:14:16.040 --> 00:14:18.877
Got you tied up in knots. you've been treating
00:14:18.943 --> 00:14:19.844
You've been treating it like the end,
00:14:19.911 --> 00:14:22.313
It like the end, and you need to move it
00:14:22.380 --> 00:14:24.616
And you need to move it to the middle.
00:14:24.682 --> 00:14:26.951
To the middle. so, when you're
00:14:27.018 --> 00:14:27.518
So, when you're telling the story,
00:14:27.585 --> 00:14:29.287
Telling the story, it is going to be a chapter
00:14:29.354 --> 00:14:31.723
It is going to be a chapter and a scene not a destiny.
00:14:31.789 --> 00:14:34.359
[cheering and applause]
00:14:34.826 --> 00:14:39.964
That's why it's called midian.
00:14:40.765 --> 00:14:44.402
That's why it's called midian. you aren't meant to live here.
00:14:44.469 --> 00:14:46.437
You aren't meant to live here. you will not die in
00:14:46.504 --> 00:14:47.772
You will not die in this wilderness.
00:14:47.839 --> 00:14:49.107
This wilderness. you will not go down
00:14:49.173 --> 00:14:50.441
You will not go down in this state,
00:14:50.508 --> 00:14:51.809
In this state, for there is a burning bush
00:14:51.876 --> 00:14:53.711
For there is a burning bush with your name on it,
00:14:53.778 --> 00:14:55.246
With your name on it, moses, moses.
00:14:55.313 --> 00:14:57.448
Moses, moses. and you know what
00:14:57.515 --> 00:14:58.249
And you know what makes the bush significant,
00:14:58.316 --> 00:15:00.251
Makes the bush significant, it's burning,
00:15:00.318 --> 00:15:01.586
It's burning, but it won't burn up.
00:15:01.653 --> 00:15:03.888
But it won't burn up. it's still burning after
00:15:03.955 --> 00:15:05.823
It's still burning after all it's been through.
00:15:05.890 --> 00:15:07.859
All it's been through. and i'm preaching
00:15:07.926 --> 00:15:08.660
And i'm preaching to somebody today,
00:15:08.726 --> 00:15:10.395
To somebody today, that after all
00:15:10.461 --> 00:15:11.396
That after all you've been through,
00:15:11.462 --> 00:15:13.631
You've been through, after every red sea he split,
00:15:13.698 --> 00:15:16.801
After every red sea he split, after everything
00:15:16.868 --> 00:15:17.802
After everything he forgave you of,
00:15:17.869 --> 00:15:19.971
He forgave you of, after every breath
00:15:20.038 --> 00:15:21.105
After every breath he poured in your lungs,
00:15:21.172 --> 00:15:23.174
He poured in your lungs, after every mercy
00:15:23.241 --> 00:15:24.709
After every mercy he dropped at your door,
00:15:24.776 --> 00:15:27.145
He dropped at your door, you have a reason
00:15:27.211 --> 00:15:31.249
To praise him.
00:15:31.349 --> 00:15:33.451
[applause]
00:15:33.718 --> 00:15:40.792
This is just the middle.
00:15:41.225 --> 00:15:42.994
This is just the middle. this is just the middle.
00:15:43.061 --> 00:15:45.396
This is just the middle. this is just the middle,
00:15:45.463 --> 00:15:47.598
Of course, it's messy.
00:15:47.699 --> 00:15:49.534
Of course, it's messy. it's the middle,
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.035
It's the middle, of course, it's difficult.
00:15:51.102 --> 00:15:52.937
Of course, it's difficult. it's the middle,
00:15:53.004 --> 00:15:54.372
It's the middle, of course, it's dry.
00:15:54.439 --> 00:15:56.274
Of course, it's dry. it's the middle,
00:15:56.341 --> 00:15:58.576
It's the middle, it's always different
00:15:58.643 --> 00:16:00.812
It's always different in the middle.
00:16:00.878 --> 00:16:04.148
In the middle. but the lord said for us
00:16:04.215 --> 00:16:05.049
But the lord said for us to take this thing
00:16:05.116 --> 00:16:05.950
To take this thing that we think is going to be
00:16:06.017 --> 00:16:08.419
That we think is going to be the end of our testimony
00:16:08.486 --> 00:16:10.288
The end of our testimony and move it to the middle,
00:16:10.355 --> 00:16:13.725
And move it to the middle, and let it become,
00:16:13.791 --> 00:16:15.426
And let it become, who is this for?
00:16:15.493 --> 00:16:16.594
Who is this for? let it become the part
00:16:16.661 --> 00:16:17.829
Let it become the part of your story that you say,
00:16:17.895 --> 00:16:20.565
Of your story that you say, "but he," after.
00:16:20.631 --> 00:16:21.899
[applause]
00:16:22.233 --> 00:16:28.673
Do i preach about
00:16:29.173 --> 00:16:29.841
Do i preach about this too much?
00:16:29.907 --> 00:16:32.477
This too much? i feel like every week
00:16:32.543 --> 00:16:33.378
I feel like every week i'm trying to tell you not
00:16:33.444 --> 00:16:34.345
I'm trying to tell you not to quit in a different way.
00:16:34.412 --> 00:16:37.382
To quit in a different way. i feel like every week
00:16:37.448 --> 00:16:38.349
I feel like every week i'm trying to tell you
00:16:38.416 --> 00:16:39.283
I'm trying to tell you it's too soon for you to
00:16:39.350 --> 00:16:40.051
It's too soon for you to sit down and settle in midian
00:16:40.118 --> 00:16:41.652
Sit down and settle in midian when god called you
00:16:41.719 --> 00:16:42.587
When god called you to be a deliverer.
00:16:42.653 --> 00:16:45.089
To be a deliverer. and look what all god
00:16:45.156 --> 00:16:45.890
And look what all god did through moses,
00:16:45.957 --> 00:16:46.958
Did through moses, oh, this is so personal,
00:16:47.025 --> 00:16:49.694
Oh, this is so personal, and he wants to do it for you.
00:16:49.761 --> 00:16:51.629
And he wants to do it for you. the bible says that
00:16:51.696 --> 00:16:52.430
The bible says that he called them by name
00:16:52.497 --> 00:16:54.232
He called them by name to lead them out of egypt
00:16:54.298 --> 00:16:55.266
To lead them out of egypt and look at acts 7:36,
00:16:55.333 --> 00:17:00.738
"he led them out of egypt
00:17:00.838 --> 00:17:02.907
"he led them out of egypt and performed wonders
00:17:02.974 --> 00:17:03.641
And performed wonders and signs in egypt,
00:17:03.708 --> 00:17:05.843
And signs in egypt, at the red sea and for
00:17:05.910 --> 00:17:09.447
At the red sea and for forty years in the wilderness."
00:17:09.514 --> 00:17:11.649
Forty years in the wilderness." now, to me that's got to be
00:17:11.716 --> 00:17:12.517
The saddest scripture
00:17:12.617 --> 00:17:15.787
The saddest scripture that i've read today
00:17:15.853 --> 00:17:18.256
That i've read today is that god spent the first
00:17:18.322 --> 00:17:20.091
Is that god spent the first 40 years preparing moses,
00:17:20.158 --> 00:17:23.361
40 years preparing moses, his basket years,
00:17:23.428 --> 00:17:24.328
His basket years, where he was preserved.
00:17:24.395 --> 00:17:25.563
Where he was preserved. you know, god spent the first
00:17:25.630 --> 00:17:26.664
You know, god spent the first part of your life preparing you.
00:17:26.731 --> 00:17:28.466
Part of your life preparing you. it wasn't easy, it may not
00:17:28.533 --> 00:17:30.334
It wasn't easy, it may not have been what you chose,
00:17:30.401 --> 00:17:31.369
Have been what you chose, but he floated you
00:17:31.436 --> 00:17:33.204
But he floated you to where you needed to be.
00:17:33.271 --> 00:17:36.240
To where you needed to be. then after moses' mistake,
00:17:36.307 --> 00:17:37.842
Then after moses' mistake, he spent the next 40 years
00:17:37.909 --> 00:17:39.677
He spent the next 40 years repairing moses,
00:17:39.744 --> 00:17:42.447
Repairing moses, humbling moses.
00:17:42.513 --> 00:17:46.250
Humbling moses. but after that burning bush
00:17:46.317 --> 00:17:48.486
But after that burning bush moses was meant to lead
00:17:48.553 --> 00:17:49.854
Moses was meant to lead the people into
00:17:49.921 --> 00:17:51.189
The people into the promised land
00:17:51.255 --> 00:17:52.490
The promised land and look what verse 26 says
00:17:52.557 --> 00:17:54.158
And look what verse 26 says or verse 36 says, please.
00:17:54.225 --> 00:17:57.528
"he led them out of egypt
00:17:57.628 --> 00:17:58.896
"he led them out of egypt and performed wonders
00:17:58.963 --> 00:17:59.530
And performed wonders and signs in egypt,
00:17:59.597 --> 00:18:00.031
And signs in egypt, at the red sea
00:18:00.098 --> 00:18:01.299
At the red sea and for forty years
00:18:01.365 --> 00:18:02.233
And for forty years in the wilderness."
00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:02.834
In the wilderness." now, here's the warning,
00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:05.503
Now, here's the warning, he wasn't supposed to be
00:18:05.570 --> 00:18:06.504
He wasn't supposed to be in the wilderness
00:18:06.571 --> 00:18:07.138
In the wilderness with them 40 years.
00:18:07.205 --> 00:18:09.607
With them 40 years. put it back up.
00:18:09.674 --> 00:18:10.708
Put it back up. at the red sea
00:18:10.775 --> 00:18:11.476
At the red sea he performed wonders,
00:18:11.542 --> 00:18:13.111
He performed wonders, the sea split.
00:18:13.177 --> 00:18:14.879
The sea split. in the wilderness,
00:18:14.946 --> 00:18:15.480
In the wilderness, he performed miracles
00:18:15.546 --> 00:18:16.647
He performed miracles for 40 years.
00:18:16.714 --> 00:18:19.250
For 40 years. but the trip through
00:18:19.317 --> 00:18:20.017
But the trip through the wilderness was not
00:18:20.084 --> 00:18:21.085
The wilderness was not meant to be the end,
00:18:21.152 --> 00:18:23.287
Meant to be the end, it was meant to be the middle.
00:18:23.354 --> 00:18:26.224
It was meant to be the middle. to get through the wilderness
00:18:26.290 --> 00:18:27.425
To get through the wilderness to the promised land
00:18:27.492 --> 00:18:28.426
To the promised land would have taken the israelites
00:18:28.493 --> 00:18:29.660
Would have taken the israelites two weeks tops,
00:18:29.727 --> 00:18:32.029
Two weeks tops, how did they switch
00:18:32.096 --> 00:18:33.764
How did they switch and make a 40-year habitation
00:18:33.831 --> 00:18:36.601
And make a 40-year habitation out of a two-week transition?
00:18:36.667 --> 00:18:40.204
Out of a two-week transition? it's because they treated
00:18:40.271 --> 00:18:41.472
The middle like it was the end.
00:18:41.572 --> 00:18:47.011
The middle like it was the end. and there are some things
00:18:47.078 --> 00:18:47.879
And there are some things in your life that god
00:18:47.945 --> 00:18:48.646
In your life that god is doing right now,
00:18:48.713 --> 00:18:49.881
Is doing right now, and he's providing for you
00:18:49.947 --> 00:18:51.149
And he's providing for you and he's empowering you,
00:18:51.215 --> 00:18:52.550
And he's empowering you, and he's enabling you
00:18:52.617 --> 00:18:53.751
And he's enabling you and he's sustaining you,
00:18:53.818 --> 00:18:55.219
And he's sustaining you, and he's calling you
00:18:55.286 --> 00:18:56.454
And he's calling you and it's a moses, moses moment.
00:18:56.521 --> 00:18:58.356
And it's a moses, moses moment. and if you come forward
00:18:58.422 --> 00:18:59.323
And if you come forward and look and listen
00:18:59.390 --> 00:19:00.191
And look and listen and turn aside and say,
00:19:00.258 --> 00:19:01.425
And turn aside and say, "wonder why this bush
00:19:01.492 --> 00:19:02.760
"wonder why this bush isn't burning up?
00:19:02.827 --> 00:19:04.195
Isn't burning up? wonder why god left me here?
00:19:04.262 --> 00:19:05.730
Wonder why god left me here? wonder why cancer
00:19:05.796 --> 00:19:06.697
Wonder why cancer didn't kill me?
00:19:06.764 --> 00:19:07.665
Didn't kill me? wonder why depression
00:19:07.732 --> 00:19:08.666
Wonder why depression didn't have the last word?
00:19:08.733 --> 00:19:10.234
Didn't have the last word? wonder why i survived
00:19:10.301 --> 00:19:11.636
Wonder why i survived when they did --
00:19:11.702 --> 00:19:12.503
When they did -- wonder why god put me
00:19:12.570 --> 00:19:13.504
Wonder why god put me at this place and time?
00:19:13.571 --> 00:19:14.872
At this place and time? wonder why god gave me
00:19:14.939 --> 00:19:15.773
Wonder why god gave me these experiences?"
00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:17.008
These experiences?" if you move it to the middle,
00:19:17.074 --> 00:19:18.643
If you move it to the middle, it changes everything.
00:19:18.709 --> 00:19:19.911
It changes everything. so, i close with one
00:19:19.977 --> 00:19:20.778
So, i close with one more illustration.
00:19:20.845 --> 00:19:22.213
More illustration. chris, when we were writing
00:19:22.280 --> 00:19:23.814
Chris, when we were writing the song 'jireh',
00:19:23.881 --> 00:19:25.583
The song 'jireh', i have no idea
00:19:25.650 --> 00:19:26.217
I have no idea if you remember this.
00:19:26.284 --> 00:19:27.385
If you remember this. i would feel sure that you do.
00:19:27.451 --> 00:19:29.487
I would feel sure that you do. that you know the name jireh
00:19:29.554 --> 00:19:32.657
That you know the name jireh comes from one of
00:19:32.723 --> 00:19:33.357
Comes from one of the other times that abraham
00:19:33.424 --> 00:19:35.493
The other times that abraham was gonna sacrifice
00:19:35.560 --> 00:19:36.227
Was gonna sacrifice his son isaac,
00:19:36.294 --> 00:19:38.029
His son isaac, and the lord said,
00:19:38.095 --> 00:19:38.563
And the lord said, "abraham, abraham,
00:19:38.629 --> 00:19:39.530
"abraham, abraham, don't lay a hand on the boy,
00:19:39.597 --> 00:19:40.598
Don't lay a hand on the boy, i've seen that you trust me.
00:19:40.665 --> 00:19:41.532
I've seen that you trust me. i don't want your son
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:43.367
I don't want your son as a sacrifice
00:19:43.434 --> 00:19:44.035
As a sacrifice i want your trust as worship."
00:19:44.101 --> 00:19:46.837
I want your trust as worship." and there was a ram
00:19:46.904 --> 00:19:47.805
And there was a ram in the bush,
00:19:47.872 --> 00:19:49.540
In the bush, and when abraham saw
00:19:49.607 --> 00:19:51.142
And when abraham saw the place where god provided,
00:19:51.209 --> 00:19:52.343
The place where god provided, he called it 'jehovah jireh.'
00:19:52.410 --> 00:19:55.246
He called it 'jehovah jireh.' it doesn't necessarily mean
00:19:55.313 --> 00:19:56.681
It doesn't necessarily mean just the lord provides,
00:19:56.747 --> 00:19:57.782
Just the lord provides, it means the lord sees
00:19:57.848 --> 00:19:58.950
It means the lord sees and he called that place
00:19:59.016 --> 00:19:59.784
And he called that place jehovah jireh.
00:19:59.850 --> 00:20:01.886
Jehovah jireh. the first time
00:20:01.953 --> 00:20:02.453
The first time that we ever wrote
00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:03.221
That we ever wrote with our friends,
00:20:03.287 --> 00:20:04.255
With our friends, naomi and chandler,
00:20:04.322 --> 00:20:06.824
Naomi and chandler, we sat down and began
00:20:06.891 --> 00:20:08.526
We sat down and began to write a song
00:20:08.593 --> 00:20:09.860
To write a song that ended up being
00:20:09.927 --> 00:20:10.628
That ended up being the song 'jireh.'
00:20:10.695 --> 00:20:12.496
The song 'jireh.' have you heard it?
00:20:12.563 --> 00:20:13.297
Have you heard it? >> congregation: yes.
00:20:13.364 --> 00:20:14.365
>> congregation: yes. >> do you like it?
00:20:14.432 --> 00:20:15.199
>> do you like it? >> congregation: yes.
00:20:15.266 --> 00:20:16.701
>> congregation: yes. >> yeah.
00:20:16.767 --> 00:20:17.802
>> yeah. let me tell you a little thing
00:20:17.868 --> 00:20:18.669
Let me tell you a little thing about that song that
00:20:18.736 --> 00:20:19.737
About that song that i think will cement
00:20:19.804 --> 00:20:20.271
I think will cement this message in your mind.
00:20:20.338 --> 00:20:22.373
This message in your mind. for everything that you
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:23.040
For everything that you need god to provide.
00:20:23.107 --> 00:20:24.942
Need god to provide. when we began to write
00:20:25.009 --> 00:20:26.377
When we began to write the chorus,
00:20:26.444 --> 00:20:27.411
The chorus, it didn't sound very good.
00:20:27.478 --> 00:20:29.614
It didn't sound very good. it said...
