That you've heard the whole thing and let's make a loop.
00:02:45.818 --> 00:02:48.254
Thing and let's make a loop. "in my distress i called

"in my distress i called to the lord and he answered me."
00:02:50.356 --> 00:02:53.893
Today i'm going to talk about
00:02:53.993 --> 00:02:54.928
Today i'm going to talk about the lie that the devil has
00:02:54.994 --> 00:02:56.396
The lie that the devil has been telling you.
00:02:56.462 --> 00:02:57.697
Been telling you. this message is called,
00:02:57.764 --> 00:02:58.965

00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:02.435
Not here. just reach around
00:03:02.502 --> 00:03:03.303
Just reach around and tell seven people
00:03:03.369 --> 00:03:04.070
And tell seven people on your way to your seat.
00:03:04.137 --> 00:03:05.038
On your way to your seat. not here, not here.
00:03:05.104 --> 00:03:08.541
Not here, not here. you may be seated.
00:03:08.608 --> 00:03:10.176
Not here.
00:03:12.779 --> 00:03:16.683
Not here. oh, i want to tell you
00:03:16.749 --> 00:03:17.684
Oh, i want to tell you why i'm here today,
00:03:17.750 --> 00:03:19.886
Why i'm here today, why i'm in the pulpit today.
00:03:19.953 --> 00:03:22.255
Why i'm in the pulpit today. you're like, isn't it your job?
00:03:22.322 --> 00:03:23.890
You're like, isn't it your job? but not every single sunday.
00:03:23.957 --> 00:03:25.658
But not every single sunday. i would have scheduled
00:03:25.725 --> 00:03:26.559
I would have scheduled this sunday off because of all
00:03:26.626 --> 00:03:27.994
This sunday off because of all of the intensive labor
00:03:28.061 --> 00:03:29.329
Of the intensive labor around our songwriting.
00:03:29.395 --> 00:03:30.863
Around our songwriting. but number one, i thought,
00:03:30.930 --> 00:03:32.398
But number one, i thought, if the team's going to be here,
00:03:32.465 --> 00:03:33.733
If the team's going to be here, i'm going to be here.
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:34.601
I'm going to be here. but number two,
00:03:34.667 --> 00:03:35.235
But number two, i thought you needed this
00:03:35.301 --> 00:03:36.336
I thought you needed this next word in the series,
00:03:36.402 --> 00:03:37.537
Next word in the series, and i didn't want
00:03:37.604 --> 00:03:38.638
And i didn't want the devil to disrupt
00:03:38.705 --> 00:03:39.606
The devil to disrupt the flow of what we're doing.
00:03:39.672 --> 00:03:40.607
The flow of what we're doing. because i really feel like
00:03:40.673 --> 00:03:41.608
Because i really feel like we've got some momentum
00:03:41.674 --> 00:03:42.709
We've got some momentum and i'm really hearing
00:03:42.775 --> 00:03:43.643
And i'm really hearing testimonies and i really
00:03:43.710 --> 00:03:45.078
Testimonies and i really feel like there's something
00:03:45.144 --> 00:03:46.412
Feel like there's something special that he's doing in some
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:47.447
Special that he's doing in some of our minds and delivering us
00:03:47.513 --> 00:03:49.449
Of our minds and delivering us from the devil that keeps us
00:03:49.515 --> 00:03:51.217
From the devil that keeps us from making decisions
00:03:51.284 --> 00:03:52.218
From making decisions and keeps us from rejoicing
00:03:52.285 --> 00:03:53.620
And keeps us from rejoicing and keeps us depressed.
00:03:53.686 --> 00:03:55.154
And keeps us depressed. so, i wanted to keep that going.
00:03:55.221 --> 00:03:56.322
So, i wanted to keep that going. but thirdly, i'm here because
00:03:56.389 --> 00:03:59.225
But thirdly, i'm here because it's my son graham's 18th
00:03:59.292 --> 00:04:01.127
It's my son graham's 18th birthday today.
00:04:01.194 --> 00:04:02.028
[cheering and applause]
00:04:02.362 --> 00:04:09.636
Occasionally, i tell
00:04:09.969 --> 00:04:11.404
Occasionally, i tell a little bit about our family
00:04:11.471 --> 00:04:13.239
A little bit about our family because of a scripture
00:04:13.306 --> 00:04:14.040
Because of a scripture that paul said.
00:04:14.107 --> 00:04:15.241
That paul said. we were delighted not only
00:04:15.308 --> 00:04:15.975
We were delighted not only to share the gospel of god
00:04:16.042 --> 00:04:17.410
To share the gospel of god with you, but our lives as well.
00:04:17.477 --> 00:04:19.779
With you, but our lives as well. and in this pulpit,
00:04:19.846 --> 00:04:20.413
And in this pulpit, a lot of times
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:21.014
A lot of times i get things wrong,
00:04:21.080 --> 00:04:22.482
I get things wrong, but i'm willing to do that
00:04:22.548 --> 00:04:23.716
But i'm willing to do that sometimes because
00:04:23.783 --> 00:04:24.651
Sometimes because if i never get it wrong,
00:04:24.717 --> 00:04:27.120
If i never get it wrong, i can never get it real.
00:04:27.186 --> 00:04:29.689
I can never get it real. so, i also share from
00:04:29.756 --> 00:04:30.790
So, i also share from my own heart and my own life
00:04:30.857 --> 00:04:32.025
My own heart and my own life of the things
00:04:32.091 --> 00:04:32.825
Of the things that i'm processing,
00:04:32.892 --> 00:04:34.160
That i'm processing, as well as what the bible says
00:04:34.227 --> 00:04:36.796
As well as what the bible says about other people's process.
00:04:36.863 --> 00:04:38.564
About other people's process. and graham found out
00:04:38.631 --> 00:04:40.099
And graham found out that i was going to take
00:04:40.166 --> 00:04:41.100
That i was going to take this week off because of
00:04:41.167 --> 00:04:43.169
This week off because of the scheduling of our recording,
00:04:43.236 --> 00:04:44.270
The scheduling of our recording, so i could focus on that,
00:04:44.337 --> 00:04:45.438
So i could focus on that, and he said, "wait a minute,
00:04:45.505 --> 00:04:46.406
And he said, "wait a minute, sunday the 28th is my birthday,
00:04:46.472 --> 00:04:49.475
Sunday the 28th is my birthday, and mom said we can get
00:04:49.542 --> 00:04:50.610
And mom said we can get a guest."
00:04:50.677 --> 00:04:52.178
A guest." and graham said,
00:04:52.245 --> 00:04:52.845
And graham said, "no guest, it's my birthday."
00:04:52.912 --> 00:04:55.815
"no guest, it's my birthday." and we started naming
00:04:55.882 --> 00:04:57.183
And we started naming some of his favorite
00:04:57.250 --> 00:04:58.117
Some of his favorite preachers and said,
00:04:58.184 --> 00:04:59.852
Well, we could have.
00:04:59.952 --> 00:05:00.486
Well, we could have. and we named them.
00:05:00.553 --> 00:05:01.020
And we named them. and he said, "no, no, no, no,
00:05:01.087 --> 00:05:01.921
And he said, "no, no, no, no, no, no."
00:05:01.988 --> 00:05:02.689
No, no." and holly even said,
00:05:02.755 --> 00:05:04.057
And holly even said, "how about if i preach?"
00:05:04.123 --> 00:05:04.857
"how about if i preach?" and graham goes,
00:05:04.924 --> 00:05:06.159
And graham goes, "it's my 18th birthday,
00:05:06.225 --> 00:05:07.827
"it's my 18th birthday, i want dad.
00:05:07.894 --> 00:05:10.763
I want dad. i want dad."
00:05:10.830 --> 00:05:11.331
[applause]
00:05:11.631 --> 00:05:12.965
So, graham, you got me.
00:05:13.433 --> 00:05:16.736
Whatever happens,
00:05:16.836 --> 00:05:18.438
Whatever happens, we're in this together.
00:05:18.504 --> 00:05:19.972
We're in this together. if the ship goes down,
00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:21.974
If the ship goes down, come help me bail some water.
00:05:22.041 --> 00:05:26.112
Come help me bail some water. he wanted me and he got me.
00:05:26.179 --> 00:05:30.483
He wanted me and he got me. and there was a moment
00:05:30.550 --> 00:05:32.452
And there was a moment a few years ago
00:05:32.518 --> 00:05:33.152
A few years ago in graham's life where,
00:05:33.219 --> 00:05:34.654
In graham's life where, as every parent does,
00:05:34.721 --> 00:05:36.422
As every parent does, i was teetering on the edge
00:05:36.489 --> 00:05:38.024
I was teetering on the edge of not trusting god.
00:05:38.091 --> 00:05:39.792
Of not trusting god. because as he was starting
00:05:39.859 --> 00:05:41.127
Because as he was starting to move into manhood,
00:05:41.194 --> 00:05:42.161
To move into manhood, i started to worry
00:05:42.228 --> 00:05:43.229
I started to worry about the temptations.
00:05:43.296 --> 00:05:44.030
About the temptations. and it's one thing
00:05:44.097 --> 00:05:45.431
And it's one thing to protect your kids.
00:05:45.498 --> 00:05:47.867
To protect your kids. it's one thing to pray
00:05:47.934 --> 00:05:48.534
It's one thing to pray for your kids.
00:05:48.601 --> 00:05:50.303
For your kids. it's another thing
00:05:50.370 --> 00:05:50.937
It's another thing to become so possessive
00:05:51.003 --> 00:05:52.171
To become so possessive about your kids that you
00:05:52.238 --> 00:05:54.073
About your kids that you don't realize that they were
00:05:54.140 --> 00:05:55.308
Don't realize that they were god's before they were yours.
00:05:55.375 --> 00:06:03.916
We all can relate to that,
00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:05.251
We all can relate to that, either as a child or a parent.
00:06:05.318 --> 00:06:07.553
Either as a child or a parent. all the kids are like,
00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:08.221
All the kids are like, "did you hear that, mom?
00:06:08.287 --> 00:06:09.655
"did you hear that, mom? i am god's.
00:06:09.722 --> 00:06:10.656
I am god's. god said i could come home
00:06:10.723 --> 00:06:11.858
God said i could come home at 12:30, not 11:30."
00:06:11.924 --> 00:06:13.493
[laughter]
00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:14.160
Don't use my sermon
00:06:14.761 --> 00:06:15.628
Don't use my sermon like a weapon later.
00:06:15.695 --> 00:06:19.198
Like a weapon later. but i was sitting down
00:06:19.265 --> 00:06:19.866
But i was sitting down one saturday to prepare
00:06:19.932 --> 00:06:20.967
One saturday to prepare a sermon for our church,
00:06:21.033 --> 00:06:22.702
A sermon for our church, and i was so worried
00:06:22.769 --> 00:06:23.403
And i was so worried about graham.
00:06:23.469 --> 00:06:24.337
About graham. and not because he had
00:06:24.404 --> 00:06:25.171
And not because he had done anything wrong.
00:06:25.238 --> 00:06:26.406
Done anything wrong. it was just that
00:06:26.472 --> 00:06:27.073
It was just that transitional season.
00:06:27.140 --> 00:06:28.541
Transitional season. remember i taught you last week,
00:06:28.608 --> 00:06:30.877
Remember i taught you last week, when you vent about
00:06:30.943 --> 00:06:32.111
When you vent about a situation without god in it,
00:06:32.178 --> 00:06:35.882
A situation without god in it, you start to invent
00:06:35.948 --> 00:06:37.450
You start to invent scenarios in your head.
00:06:37.517 --> 00:06:39.585
Scenarios in your head. and so, nothing was
00:06:39.652 --> 00:06:40.253
And so, nothing was really even wrong yet.
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.054
Really even wrong yet. there was just
00:06:42.121 --> 00:06:42.455
There was just the possibility of him
00:06:42.522 --> 00:06:44.424
The possibility of him getting on a bad path,
00:06:44.490 --> 00:06:46.392
Getting on a bad path, and it started
00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:47.126
And it started to possess my mind, right?
00:06:47.193 --> 00:06:49.162
To possess my mind, right? now, the lord spoke to me.
00:06:49.228 --> 00:06:51.931
Now, the lord spoke to me. what do you mean
00:06:51.998 --> 00:06:52.432
What do you mean when you say that?
00:06:52.498 --> 00:06:53.833
When you say that? it was an impression that was
00:06:53.900 --> 00:06:55.334
It was an impression that was louder than a conversation.
00:06:55.401 --> 00:06:59.539
Louder than a conversation. it was an impression that was
00:06:59.605 --> 00:07:01.407
It was an impression that was deeper than a text message.
00:07:01.474 --> 00:07:05.378
Deeper than a text message. and all i felt from god was that
00:07:05.445 --> 00:07:08.281
And all i felt from god was that he said, "i've got graham."
00:07:08.347 --> 00:07:13.453
He said, "i've got graham." it was a short sentence,
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:14.520
It was a short sentence, but i knew i heard it.
00:07:14.587 --> 00:07:16.355
But i knew i heard it. i've got graham.
00:07:16.422 --> 00:07:18.391
I've got graham. immediately a flood of peace
00:07:18.458 --> 00:07:20.560
Immediately a flood of peace filled my heart, my soul.
00:07:20.626 --> 00:07:23.496
Filled my heart, my soul. i got back to work and since
00:07:23.563 --> 00:07:24.897
I got back to work and since that day he has not sinned.
00:07:24.964 --> 00:07:29.101
[laughter]
00:07:29.368 --> 00:07:31.037
I can't say that,
00:07:35.208 --> 00:07:38.711
I can't say that, but it's funny.
00:07:38.778 --> 00:07:39.912
But it's funny. you said i get dad
00:07:39.979 --> 00:07:41.047
You said i get dad on my birthday and god
00:07:41.113 --> 00:07:43.216
On my birthday and god told me i got graham.
00:07:43.282 --> 00:07:44.951
Told me i got graham. and you know, he's doing
00:07:45.017 --> 00:07:45.952
And you know, he's doing pretty good, y'all.
00:07:46.018 --> 00:07:47.753
Pretty good, y'all. he's doing pretty good.
00:07:47.820 --> 00:07:50.723
He's doing pretty good. he started a little bible study.
00:07:50.790 --> 00:07:51.858
He started a little bible study. he's doing pretty good.
00:07:51.924 --> 00:07:54.694
He's doing pretty good. now, i'm getting emotional
00:07:54.760 --> 00:07:55.461
Now, i'm getting emotional and i'm forgetting
00:07:55.528 --> 00:07:56.162
And i'm forgetting the outline of my message.
00:07:56.229 --> 00:07:57.330
The outline of my message. will y'all pray for me, please,
00:07:57.396 --> 00:07:58.431
Will y'all pray for me, please, that i could just preach
00:07:58.498 --> 00:07:59.432
That i could just preach this from psalm 120?
00:07:59.499 --> 00:08:02.568
This from psalm 120? he started a bible study
00:08:02.635 --> 00:08:03.302
He started a bible study in the house and about 6 to 8
00:08:03.369 --> 00:08:06.506
In the house and about 6 to 8 of y'all would come over, right?
00:08:06.572 --> 00:08:09.342
Of y'all would come over, right? and he started recruiting me
00:08:09.408 --> 00:08:10.209
And he started recruiting me on sunday nights to come
00:08:10.276 --> 00:08:11.143
On sunday nights to come teach it a little bit.
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:12.612
Teach it a little bit. and you talk about loopy,
00:08:12.678 --> 00:08:13.379
And you talk about loopy, after i've preached on sunday,
00:08:13.446 --> 00:08:16.215
After i've preached on sunday, i definitely don't know
00:08:16.282 --> 00:08:17.350
I definitely don't know hebrew and greek words.
00:08:17.416 --> 00:08:18.050
Hebrew and greek words. i can barely speak english.
00:08:18.117 --> 00:08:19.886
I can barely speak english. and so, i'll go up there
00:08:19.952 --> 00:08:20.620
And so, i'll go up there and try to help the boys.
00:08:20.686 --> 00:08:21.988
And try to help the boys. and, you know, when you're
00:08:22.054 --> 00:08:22.722
And, you know, when you're talking to high school boys,
00:08:22.788 --> 00:08:23.756
Talking to high school boys, it really revolves around a few
00:08:23.823 --> 00:08:25.358
It really revolves around a few struggles over and over again,
00:08:25.424 --> 00:08:26.292
Struggles over and over again, what they're dealing with.
00:08:26.359 --> 00:08:29.328
[laughter]
00:08:29.695 --> 00:08:30.563
And one of those
00:08:31.864 --> 00:08:36.002
And one of those conversations that comes up is,
00:08:36.068 --> 00:08:40.339
Conversations that comes up is, how do i deal with the times
00:08:40.406 --> 00:08:42.408
How do i deal with the times when i have a spiritual high,
00:08:42.475 --> 00:08:45.311
When i have a spiritual high, but then it goes away and how do
00:08:45.378 --> 00:08:48.414
But then it goes away and how do i keep the spiritual high?
00:08:48.481 --> 00:08:50.249
I keep the spiritual high? well, of course, i told this
00:08:50.316 --> 00:08:52.018
Well, of course, i told this person who asked this question,
00:08:52.084 --> 00:08:54.153
Person who asked this question, i'm not interested in teaching
00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:56.188
I'm not interested in teaching you to keep the high.
00:08:56.255 --> 00:08:59.158
You to keep the high. i want to teach you how
00:08:59.225 --> 00:08:59.926
I want to teach you how to look for god in the lows.
00:08:59.992 --> 00:09:05.565
[applause]
00:09:05.898 --> 00:09:07.900
Because if you can
00:09:08.534 --> 00:09:09.035
Because if you can look for him in the lows,
00:09:09.101 --> 00:09:10.403
Look for him in the lows, you can only go so low.
00:09:10.469 --> 00:09:13.839
You can only go so low. because one psalm says,
00:09:13.906 --> 00:09:14.540
Because one psalm says, "if i make my bed in sheol,
00:09:14.607 --> 00:09:17.610
"if i make my bed in sheol, you are there.
00:09:17.677 --> 00:09:19.512
You are there. if i make my bed in hell,
00:09:19.579 --> 00:09:21.013
If i make my bed in hell, you are there.
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:21.714
You are there. where shall i go
00:09:21.781 --> 00:09:22.682
Where shall i go from your presence?
00:09:22.748 --> 00:09:23.616
From your presence? where shall i ascend?
00:09:23.683 --> 00:09:24.417
Where shall i ascend? if i ascend to the heavens,
00:09:24.483 --> 00:09:25.318
If i ascend to the heavens, you are there.
00:09:25.384 --> 00:09:26.485
You are there. if i descend to the hell,
00:09:26.552 --> 00:09:27.653
If i descend to the hell, you are there.
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:28.220
You are there. if i say, surely the darkness
00:09:28.287 --> 00:09:29.855
If i say, surely the darkness will cover thee,
00:09:29.922 --> 00:09:30.790
Will cover thee, surely light will become
00:09:30.856 --> 00:09:31.791
Surely light will become as night to thee,
00:09:31.857 --> 00:09:32.892
As night to thee, for you are there.
00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:34.894
For you are there. your presence is everywhere."
00:09:34.961 --> 00:09:36.228
Your presence is everywhere." so, i want you to look
00:09:36.295 --> 00:09:36.996
So, i want you to look for god in the lows.
00:09:37.063 --> 00:09:39.131
For god in the lows. now, the contrast
00:09:39.198 --> 00:09:39.665
Now, the contrast we have in psalm 120,
00:09:39.732 --> 00:09:41.200
We have in psalm 120, why i thought it would be
00:09:41.267 --> 00:09:42.001
Why i thought it would be so great for us
00:09:42.068 --> 00:09:42.568
So great for us to study together today,
00:09:42.635 --> 00:09:45.037
To study together today, is because on one hand,
00:09:45.104 --> 00:09:47.807
Is because on one hand, this psalmist is going up.
00:09:47.873 --> 00:09:50.910
This psalmist is going up. he's going up to jerusalem.
00:09:50.977 --> 00:09:52.044
He's going up to jerusalem. jerusalem is in
00:09:52.111 --> 00:09:52.979
Jerusalem is in the mountain region.
00:09:53.045 --> 00:09:54.080
The mountain region. so, to go to jerusalem,
00:09:54.146 --> 00:09:55.348
So, to go to jerusalem, you go up every time,
00:09:55.414 --> 00:09:57.883
You go up every time, a song of ascent.
00:09:57.950 --> 00:10:00.519
A song of ascent. he's singing a song of ascent
00:10:00.586 --> 00:10:02.622
He's singing a song of ascent as he's going up.
00:10:02.688 --> 00:10:04.357
As he's going up. but it's also a song of lament,
00:10:04.423 --> 00:10:07.393
But it's also a song of lament, which is grief.
00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:09.762
Which is grief. so, he's on his way,
00:10:09.829 --> 00:10:11.664
So, he's on his way, headed up to worship,
00:10:11.731 --> 00:10:15.167
Headed up to worship, but there is something that
00:10:15.234 --> 00:10:16.802
But there is something that is weighing him down
00:10:16.869 --> 00:10:18.771
Is weighing him down as he walks.
00:10:18.838 --> 00:10:21.140
As he walks. every single person who
00:10:21.207 --> 00:10:22.775
Every single person who is here in this room today,
00:10:22.842 --> 00:10:24.777
Is here in this room today, on your way up to worship,
00:10:24.844 --> 00:10:27.813
On your way up to worship, on you way up to lift
00:10:27.880 --> 00:10:29.448
On you way up to lift your hands and praise god,
00:10:29.515 --> 00:10:31.183
Your hands and praise god, on your way over here,
00:10:31.250 --> 00:10:33.119
On your way over here, there was something that
00:10:33.185 --> 00:10:34.654
There was something that was weighing you down.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:36.122
Was weighing you down. it's surprising you don't
00:10:36.188 --> 00:10:37.790
It's surprising you don't have a flat tire from
00:10:37.857 --> 00:10:39.291
Have a flat tire from all the wight that was
00:10:39.358 --> 00:10:40.860
All the wight that was in the car with the tension
00:10:40.926 --> 00:10:42.428
In the car with the tension that is in your family,
00:10:42.495 --> 00:10:43.863
That is in your family, and the tension
00:10:43.929 --> 00:10:44.997
And the tension that is in your heart,
00:10:45.064 --> 00:10:46.132
That is in your heart, and the tension of your
00:10:46.198 --> 00:10:47.466
And the tension of your faith and your frustration.
00:10:47.533 --> 00:10:49.535
Faith and your frustration. and i got this
00:10:49.602 --> 00:10:50.102
And i got this picture that we all,
00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:52.371
Picture that we all, like the psalmist while
00:10:52.438 --> 00:10:54.006
Like the psalmist while we are on our way up,
00:10:54.073 --> 00:10:56.676
We are on our way up, we are weighed down.
00:10:56.742 --> 00:10:59.445
We are weighed down. and i wanna tell you,
00:10:59.512 --> 00:11:01.180
And i wanna tell you, graham and i wanna tell you,
00:11:01.247 --> 00:11:03.816
Graham and i wanna tell you, my friend, that's normal.
00:11:03.883 --> 00:11:07.887
My friend, that's normal. and learning to live this
00:11:07.953 --> 00:11:10.523
And learning to live this it's the ascent and the lament
00:11:10.589 --> 00:11:14.660
It's the ascent and the lament all in the same psalm,
00:11:14.727 --> 00:11:16.796
All in the same psalm, all in the same room,
00:11:16.862 --> 00:11:20.533
All in the same room, all on the same row,
00:11:20.599 --> 00:11:22.601
All on the same row, all in the same mind.
00:11:22.668 --> 00:11:25.371
All in the same mind. i could get you to think
00:11:25.438 --> 00:11:26.539
I could get you to think about something right now that
00:11:26.605 --> 00:11:27.807
About something right now that would make you so happy,
00:11:27.873 --> 00:11:29.075
Would make you so happy, you would start dancing,
00:11:29.141 --> 00:11:30.810
You would start dancing, you would even forget that
00:11:30.876 --> 00:11:32.378
You would even forget that you don't know how to dance.
00:11:32.445 --> 00:11:34.013
You would forget you
00:11:34.113 --> 00:11:35.047
You would forget you don't have any rhythm.
00:11:35.114 --> 00:11:35.881
Don't have any rhythm. and you would --
00:11:35.948 --> 00:11:36.582
And you would -- i saw some of y'all doing it
00:11:36.649 --> 00:11:37.717
I saw some of y'all doing it during hallelujah.
00:11:37.783 --> 00:11:39.752
During hallelujah. i saw it.
00:11:39.819 --> 00:11:40.619
I saw it. it got you so happy,
00:11:40.686 --> 00:11:41.854
It got you so happy, we start thinking about god
00:11:41.921 --> 00:11:43.155
We start thinking about god and how he deserves the praise
00:11:43.222 --> 00:11:44.290
And how he deserves the praise and so happy.
00:11:44.356 --> 00:11:45.291
And so happy. and then, i could
00:11:45.357 --> 00:11:46.392
And then, i could mention something else.
00:11:46.459 --> 00:11:47.727
Mention something else. if i really knew you,
00:11:47.793 --> 00:11:48.494
If i really knew you, if i could really get in
00:11:48.561 --> 00:11:49.795
Your life for five minutes,
00:11:49.895 --> 00:11:51.230
Your life for five minutes, i could say something else
00:11:51.297 --> 00:11:53.232
I could say something else and you would be so heavy.
00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:54.767
And you would be so heavy. your hands would drop,
00:11:54.834 --> 00:11:56.202
Your hands would drop, your head would drop,
00:11:56.268 --> 00:11:57.403
Your head would drop, your heart would fall out.
00:11:57.470 --> 00:11:58.871
Your heart would fall out. because as i'm on the way up,
00:11:58.938 --> 00:12:00.706
Because as i'm on the way up, it doesn't mean i'm not
00:12:00.773 --> 00:12:01.507
It doesn't mean i'm not weighed down.
00:12:01.574 --> 00:12:04.710
Weighed down. i never praise god because
00:12:04.777 --> 00:12:06.011
I never praise god because my situation is perfect.
00:12:06.078 --> 00:12:07.413
My situation is perfect. and to wait for a perfect
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.248
And to wait for a perfect situation to praise god,
00:12:09.315 --> 00:12:11.517
Situation to praise god, to wait for a perfect
00:12:11.584 --> 00:12:12.451
To wait for a perfect situation to have peace,
00:12:12.518 --> 00:12:14.253
Situation to have peace, that's a setup for the enemy.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.255
That's a setup for the enemy. if you procrastinate your praise
00:12:16.322 --> 00:12:18.657
If you procrastinate your praise or your peace until your
00:12:18.724 --> 00:12:20.559
Or your peace until your situation is perfect,
00:12:20.626 --> 00:12:22.495
Situation is perfect, you'll never get the peace
00:12:22.561 --> 00:12:24.463
You'll never get the peace because i'm on my way up
00:12:24.530 --> 00:12:27.433
Because i'm on my way up and i'm way down.
00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:30.236
And i'm way down. and it was different
00:12:30.302 --> 00:12:31.103
And it was different in his time because listen
00:12:31.170 --> 00:12:32.271
In his time because listen to some of the things
00:12:32.338 --> 00:12:32.972
He was dealing with.
00:12:33.072 --> 00:12:34.240
He was dealing with. verse 2, he said,
00:12:34.306 --> 00:12:35.307
Verse 2, he said, "deliver me, o lord,
00:12:35.374 --> 00:12:36.509
"deliver me, o lord, from lying lips."
00:12:36.575 --> 00:12:39.311
Back in the bible times
00:12:39.411 --> 00:12:40.212
Back in the bible times they had liars.
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.316
They had liars. and you know,
00:12:44.383 --> 00:12:45.117
And you know, we've evolved as a species,
00:12:45.184 --> 00:12:48.521
We've evolved as a species, but in those days,
00:12:48.587 --> 00:12:49.355
But in those days, there were rampant lies.
00:12:49.421 --> 00:12:51.757
There were rampant lies. you couldn't even tell what was
00:12:51.824 --> 00:12:52.892
You couldn't even tell what was truth and what was a lie.
00:12:52.958 --> 00:12:54.260
Truth and what was a lie. you couldn't even tell if it
00:12:54.326 --> 00:12:55.161
You couldn't even tell if it was their real voice or not,
00:12:55.227 --> 00:12:56.395
Was their real voice or not, or if it was really
00:12:56.462 --> 00:12:57.229
Or if it was really their lips moving.
00:12:57.296 --> 00:12:58.731
Their lips moving. or graham showed me a picture
00:12:58.798 --> 00:12:59.832
Or graham showed me a picture the other day or a video of some
00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:02.234
The other day or a video of some lion jumping to the sky,
00:13:02.301 --> 00:13:04.436
Lion jumping to the sky, snatching a baby lion from
00:13:04.503 --> 00:13:06.438
Snatching a baby lion from a bird of prey.
00:13:06.505 --> 00:13:07.706
A bird of prey. and he's like,
00:13:07.773 --> 00:13:08.641
And he's like, "dad, why are you crying?"
00:13:08.707 --> 00:13:09.775
"dad, why are you crying?" it was like about praying moms
00:13:09.842 --> 00:13:11.310
It was like about praying moms jumping up and grabbing their
00:13:11.377 --> 00:13:12.978
Jumping up and grabbing their young from the talons
00:13:13.045 --> 00:13:15.748
Young from the talons of the enemy.
00:13:15.815 --> 00:13:16.515
Of the enemy. and he saw a tear in my eye.
00:13:16.582 --> 00:13:18.017
And he saw a tear in my eye. he said, "dad, that's ai.
00:13:18.083 --> 00:13:19.418
He said, "dad, that's ai. you are crying at ai.
00:13:19.485 --> 00:13:20.686
You are crying at ai. that's not real."
00:13:20.753 --> 00:13:21.587
That's not real." but it was powerful
00:13:21.654 --> 00:13:22.555
But it was powerful and it was good and you
00:13:22.621 --> 00:13:23.389
And it was good and you should look it up when
00:13:23.455 --> 00:13:24.323
Should look it up when i'm done preaching.
00:13:24.390 --> 00:13:25.691
I'm done preaching. "i don't even know
00:13:25.758 --> 00:13:26.192
"i don't even know what's real anymore,"
00:13:26.258 --> 00:13:27.426
What's real anymore," the man said.
00:13:27.493 --> 00:13:28.594
The man said. because on one hand,
00:13:28.661 --> 00:13:29.595
Because on one hand, watch this, i'm going up.
00:13:29.662 --> 00:13:31.997
Watch this, i'm going up. on one hand, there are good
00:13:32.064 --> 00:13:33.265
On one hand, there are good things happening in my life.
00:13:33.332 --> 00:13:34.967
Things happening in my life. on one hand, i'm kind of excited
00:13:35.034 --> 00:13:36.836
On one hand, i'm kind of excited about this new relationship.
00:13:36.902 --> 00:13:38.671
About this new relationship. on one hand, i'm kind of excited
00:13:38.737 --> 00:13:40.639
On one hand, i'm kind of excited about what i sense that god
00:13:40.706 --> 00:13:42.007
About what i sense that god might be moving around.
00:13:42.074 --> 00:13:43.475
Might be moving around. but on the other hand,
00:13:43.542 --> 00:13:45.477
But on the other hand, there is something heavy.
00:13:45.544 --> 00:13:47.146
There is something heavy. i'm on the way up
00:13:47.213 --> 00:13:48.681
I'm on the way up and i'm way down
00:13:48.747 --> 00:13:51.750
And i'm way down and i'm on my way
00:13:51.817 --> 00:13:52.418
And i'm on my way to the house of god,
00:13:52.484 --> 00:13:53.953
To the house of god, but there's something
00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:54.954
But there's something waiting for me at home
00:13:55.020 --> 00:13:56.555
Waiting for me at home that i have to deal with.
00:13:56.622 --> 00:13:58.958
That i have to deal with. so, let me illustrate this
00:13:59.024 --> 00:14:00.025
So, let me illustrate this with a picture.
00:14:00.092 --> 00:14:00.893
With a picture. okay?
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:01.093
Okay? i thought of,
00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:01.727
I thought of, how do i break this down not
00:14:01.794 --> 00:14:03.596
How do i break this down not only for graham's bible study,
00:14:03.662 --> 00:14:05.064
Only for graham's bible study, who's wondering how do
00:14:05.130 --> 00:14:06.098
Who's wondering how do i stay in the youth camp
00:14:06.165 --> 00:14:07.433
I stay in the youth camp energy year-round?
00:14:07.499 --> 00:14:09.768
Energy year-round? but you know,
00:14:09.835 --> 00:14:10.135
But you know, kind of all of us wish
00:14:10.202 --> 00:14:10.870
Kind of all of us wish we could live in that youth camp
00:14:10.936 --> 00:14:12.037
We could live in that youth camp energy all year round,
00:14:12.104 --> 00:14:14.607
Or at the very least
00:14:14.707 --> 00:14:15.441
Or at the very least at the sunday morning
00:14:15.507 --> 00:14:16.542
At the sunday morning energy year-round if we would
00:14:16.609 --> 00:14:18.377
Energy year-round if we would all be as nice to each other
00:14:18.444 --> 00:14:22.214
All be as nice to each other in our vehicles as we are
00:14:22.281 --> 00:14:24.650
In our vehicles as we are in this church.
00:14:24.717 --> 00:14:26.585
In this church. what the world be like.
00:14:26.652 --> 00:14:30.456
It doesn't take much
00:14:30.556 --> 00:14:31.190
It doesn't take much to get you acting like you
00:14:31.257 --> 00:14:32.958
To get you acting like you are not a christian, does it?
00:14:33.025 --> 00:14:35.427
Are not a christian, does it? all i got to do is put you
00:14:35.494 --> 00:14:36.428
All i got to do is put you in four doors with some glass
00:14:36.495 --> 00:14:37.730
In four doors with some glass and aluminum and you forget
00:14:37.796 --> 00:14:39.031
And aluminum and you forget all about the presence.
00:14:39.098 --> 00:14:40.299
All about the presence. the lord is everywhere
00:14:40.366 --> 00:14:41.166
The lord is everywhere except your car,
00:14:41.233 --> 00:14:43.702
Except your car, and in that space
00:14:43.769 --> 00:14:44.670
And in that space all is forgiven.
00:14:44.737 --> 00:14:48.307
All is forgiven. i thought about it like this.
00:14:48.374 --> 00:14:49.975
I thought about it like this. i thought about the song
00:14:50.042 --> 00:14:51.010
I thought about the song we were singing earlier.
00:14:51.076 --> 00:14:51.977
We were singing earlier. we've got this song that says
00:14:52.044 --> 00:14:53.879
We've got this song that says i call god on the mountain.
00:14:53.946 --> 00:14:57.216
I call god on the mountain. i call god in the valley.
00:14:57.283 --> 00:15:00.552
I call god in the valley. i call god on the good days.
00:15:00.619 --> 00:15:03.355
I call god on the good days. don't forget those.
00:15:03.422 --> 00:15:06.392
Don't forget those. sometimes the moments of our
00:15:06.458 --> 00:15:07.626
Sometimes the moments of our victory make us more vulnerable
00:15:07.693 --> 00:15:10.229
Victory make us more vulnerable than the moments of our defeat,
00:15:10.296 --> 00:15:13.265
Than the moments of our defeat, because sometimes
00:15:13.332 --> 00:15:13.799
Because sometimes in the moment of defeat,
00:15:13.866 --> 00:15:14.867
In the moment of defeat, you're dependent on god.
00:15:14.934 --> 00:15:17.269
You're dependent on god. and sometimes, in the moments
00:15:17.336 --> 00:15:18.003
And sometimes, in the moments of your victory,
00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:19.438
Of your victory, you pretend like he wasn't
00:15:19.505 --> 00:15:20.773
You pretend like he wasn't the one who gave it to you.
00:15:20.839 --> 00:15:25.477
The one who gave it to you. so, it's a great song.
00:15:25.544 --> 00:15:26.912
So, it's a great song. are y'all enjoying singing it?

00:16:02.247 --> 00:16:02.982
So we might as well call him in there, right?
00:16:03.048 --> 00:16:04.750
Call him in there, right? but here's what
00:16:04.817 --> 00:16:05.284
But here's what i wanted to show you;
00:16:05.351 --> 00:16:07.019
I wanted to show you; i wanted to show you
00:16:07.086 --> 00:16:07.753
I wanted to show you that the mountain
00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:08.921
That the mountain and the valleys look like this.
00:16:08.988 --> 00:16:11.590
And the valleys look like this. and if you ever go, just put
00:16:11.657 --> 00:16:12.925
And if you ever go, just put the first graphic, please,
00:16:12.992 --> 00:16:16.495
The first graphic, please, that if you go into a hospital,
00:16:16.562 --> 00:16:21.500
That if you go into a hospital, and they check your heartbeat
00:16:21.567 --> 00:16:26.405
And they check your heartbeat and it looks like that,
00:16:26.472 --> 00:16:30.642
And it looks like that, the good news is
00:16:30.709 --> 00:16:31.443
The good news is you're not going to be
00:16:31.510 --> 00:16:32.244
You're not going to be in the hospital very long.
00:16:32.311 --> 00:16:35.914
In the hospital very long. you going somewhere else.
00:16:35.981 --> 00:16:38.884
You going somewhere else. but that's a ekg.
00:16:38.951 --> 00:16:40.486
But that's a ekg. this is the one
00:16:40.552 --> 00:16:41.053
This is the one i wanted to put up first
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:41.887
I wanted to put up first because this is normal.
00:16:41.954 --> 00:16:43.155
Because this is normal. this is a normal heartbeat.
00:16:43.222 --> 00:16:45.357
I am going to say as little
00:16:45.457 --> 00:16:46.625
I am going to say as little about this as possible because
00:16:46.692 --> 00:16:47.893
About this as possible because there are nurses and doctors
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.861
There are nurses and doctors that go to my church and i don't
00:16:48.927 --> 00:16:50.062
That go to my church and i don't want you to judge me.
00:16:50.129 --> 00:16:53.432
Want you to judge me. basically, it's telling me about
00:16:53.499 --> 00:16:55.401
Basically, it's telling me about the heartbeat and it's ekg
00:16:55.467 --> 00:16:57.803
The heartbeat and it's ekg and those waves that you see,
00:16:57.870 --> 00:16:59.938
And those waves that you see, those peaks and those valleys,
00:17:00.005 --> 00:17:03.308
Those peaks and those valleys, that's what life looks like.
00:17:03.375 --> 00:17:09.948
That's what life looks like. yeah.
00:17:10.015 --> 00:17:10.482
[applause]
00:17:10.816 --> 00:17:12.184
Y'all see point r?
00:17:13.285 --> 00:17:15.254
I call god on the mountain
00:17:15.788 --> 00:17:18.257
But do you see point s?
00:17:19.558 --> 00:17:22.861
I call god in the
00:17:23.862 --> 00:17:25.197
>> congregation: valley.
00:17:26.098 --> 00:17:26.965
>> congregation: valley. >> come on.
00:17:27.032 --> 00:17:27.332
>> come on. be the choir, y'all.
00:17:27.399 --> 00:17:28.567
[laughter]
00:17:28.967 --> 00:17:29.735
And both of them are necessary
00:17:30.903 --> 00:17:34.706
And both of them are necessary for life to be present.
00:17:34.773 --> 00:17:38.811
The ascent and the lament.
00:17:38.911 --> 00:17:42.681
The ascent and the lament. i had one just the other day,
00:17:42.748 --> 00:17:44.149
I had one just the other day, man, you know how it happens.
00:17:44.216 --> 00:17:46.251
Man, you know how it happens. you're feeling so good
00:17:46.318 --> 00:17:47.186
You're feeling so good and you're feeling so much god,
00:17:47.252 --> 00:17:50.255
And you're feeling so much god, and it takes one
00:17:50.322 --> 00:17:51.790
And it takes one text message, one.
00:17:51.857 --> 00:17:54.660
Text message, one. this is how strong my faith is,
00:17:54.726 --> 00:17:56.228
This is how strong my faith is, one text message and i can go
00:17:56.295 --> 00:18:00.232
One text message and i can go from trusting god to wanting
00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:02.601
From trusting god to wanting to tear into some --
00:18:02.668 --> 00:18:04.036
To tear into some -- okay, okay.
00:18:04.103 --> 00:18:04.770
Okay, okay. i'mma come back
00:18:04.837 --> 00:18:05.304
I'mma come back behind the pulpit.
00:18:05.370 --> 00:18:07.139
Behind the pulpit. i can go from everything
00:18:07.206 --> 00:18:08.407
I can go from everything is so wonderful and i love my
00:18:08.474 --> 00:18:10.709
Is so wonderful and i love my neighbor and i love you, jesus.
00:18:10.776 --> 00:18:13.745
Neighbor and i love you, jesus. in fact, i think i was singing
00:18:13.812 --> 00:18:15.481
In fact, i think i was singing and working on a worship lyric
00:18:15.547 --> 00:18:17.483
And working on a worship lyric when the text came through.
00:18:17.549 --> 00:18:18.851
When the text came through. and as i'm looking
00:18:18.917 --> 00:18:19.785
And as i'm looking for the lyric,
00:18:19.852 --> 00:18:20.519
For the lyric, here comes a text,
00:18:20.586 --> 00:18:21.553
Here comes a text, a mean text, a nasty text,
00:18:21.620 --> 00:18:23.789
A mean text, a nasty text, an unnecessary text.
00:18:23.856 --> 00:18:25.157
An unnecessary text. and all of a sudden,
00:18:25.224 --> 00:18:26.058
And all of a sudden, i felt the bottom drop out
00:18:26.125 --> 00:18:27.326
I felt the bottom drop out just like that and i'm like,
00:18:27.392 --> 00:18:28.894
Just like that and i'm like, "where did you go, god?"
00:18:28.961 --> 00:18:31.630
"where did you go, god?" for the next hour
00:18:31.697 --> 00:18:32.731
For the next hour it got into my head.
00:18:32.798 --> 00:18:33.532
It got into my head. has this ever happened to you?
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.366
Has this ever happened to you? y'all are looking at me
00:18:34.433 --> 00:18:35.067
Y'all are looking at me so confused.
00:18:35.134 --> 00:18:36.602
So confused. just so quick, just so offended.
00:18:36.668 --> 00:18:39.304
Just so quick, just so offended. i was so offended that i just --
00:18:39.371 --> 00:18:41.440
I was so offended that i just -- i was having this moment with
00:18:41.507 --> 00:18:42.841
I was having this moment with god and then boom, drop down.
00:18:42.908 --> 00:18:44.943
God and then boom, drop down. i went from --
00:18:45.010 --> 00:18:45.711
I went from -- put it back up there
00:18:45.777 --> 00:18:46.311
Put it back up there real quick, y'all.
00:18:46.378 --> 00:18:46.879
I went from r to s
00:18:46.979 --> 00:18:49.181
I went from r to s just like that.
00:18:49.248 --> 00:18:51.049
Just like that. you ever gone from
00:18:51.116 --> 00:18:51.850
You ever gone from r to s just like that?
00:18:51.917 --> 00:18:55.287
R to s just like that? i used to think god was r
00:18:55.354 --> 00:18:58.056
I used to think god was r and the devil was s.
00:18:58.123 --> 00:19:03.662
But i found out that
00:19:03.762 --> 00:19:06.398
But i found out that in between the prayer
00:19:06.465 --> 00:19:08.534
In between the prayer and the answer is faith,
00:19:08.600 --> 00:19:12.771
And the answer is faith, and faith is the substance
00:19:12.838 --> 00:19:14.306
And faith is the substance of things hoped for,
00:19:14.373 --> 00:19:16.175
Of things hoped for, and the evidence
00:19:16.241 --> 00:19:16.808
And the evidence of things not seen.
00:19:16.875 --> 00:19:18.377
Of things not seen. you don't see
00:19:18.443 --> 00:19:18.944
You don't see your heart beating,
00:19:19.011 --> 00:19:20.345
Your heart beating, that's what the readout
00:19:20.412 --> 00:19:21.413
That's what the readout is showing you,
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.314
Is showing you, that you are still here.
00:19:22.381 --> 00:19:24.149
That you are still here. your heart is beating
00:19:24.216 --> 00:19:25.017
Your heart is beating while i'm talking
00:19:25.083 --> 00:19:26.552
While i'm talking and you're still here.
00:19:26.618 --> 00:19:27.886
And you're still here. there are peaks and valleys
00:19:27.953 --> 00:19:29.555
There are peaks and valleys in your life while you are
00:19:29.621 --> 00:19:31.423
In your life while you are journeying and sojourning
00:19:31.490 --> 00:19:33.292
Journeying and sojourning through this pilgrim experience
00:19:33.358 --> 00:19:35.260
Through this pilgrim experience of being a human,
00:19:35.327 --> 00:19:36.695
Of being a human, being a person and you keep
00:19:36.762 --> 00:19:38.430
Being a person and you keep thinking it's not normal,
00:19:38.497 --> 00:19:39.731
And you keep thinking that
00:19:39.831 --> 00:19:41.099
And you keep thinking that you're broken because you
00:19:41.166 --> 00:19:42.201
You're broken because you think that christianity
00:19:42.267 --> 00:19:43.635
Think that christianity is always riding the high.
00:19:43.702 --> 00:19:45.671
Is always riding the high. but the moment that
00:19:45.737 --> 00:19:46.705
But the moment that you learn that the god,
00:19:46.772 --> 00:19:48.373
You learn that the god, who's is the god of this
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.242
Who's is the god of this is the god of that.
00:19:50.309 --> 00:19:52.411
Is the god of that. and this is what
00:19:52.477 --> 00:19:53.178
And this is what life looks like,
00:19:53.245 --> 00:19:54.546
Life looks like, it looks like
00:19:54.613 --> 00:19:55.480
It looks like i'm heading up in one area,
00:19:55.547 --> 00:19:58.183
And i'm weighed down in another.
00:19:58.283 --> 00:20:00.719
And i'm weighed down in another. and i'm headed up in one area,
00:20:00.786 --> 00:20:02.721
And i'm headed up in one area, and i'm weighed down in another.
00:20:02.788 --> 00:20:04.756
And i'm weighed down in another. and i got one foot up
00:20:04.823 --> 00:20:06.225
And i got one foot up and i got one foot down.
00:20:06.291 --> 00:20:08.026
And i got one foot down. and i'm doing better with
00:20:08.093 --> 00:20:09.361
And i'm doing better with my health but i'm doing
00:20:09.428 --> 00:20:10.896
My health but i'm doing worse in my mind.
00:20:10.963 --> 00:20:12.164
Worse in my mind. and i'm doing better
00:20:12.231 --> 00:20:13.198
And i'm doing better with my money,
00:20:13.265 --> 00:20:14.800
With my money, but i'm doing worse
00:20:14.866 --> 00:20:15.500
But i'm doing worse with my time.
00:20:15.567 --> 00:20:16.034
With my time. and here i am thinking that
00:20:16.101 --> 00:20:17.703
And here i am thinking that there's something wrong with me
00:20:17.769 --> 00:20:19.404
There's something wrong with me when god wanted me
00:20:19.471 --> 00:20:20.739
When god wanted me to know that both steps
00:20:20.806 --> 00:20:22.808
To know that both steps are ordered by the lord,
00:20:22.874 --> 00:20:24.810
Are ordered by the lord, the one here, the one there.
00:20:24.876 --> 00:20:27.246
The one here, the one there. they are both
00:20:27.312 --> 00:20:28.247
They are both ordered by the lord.
00:20:28.313 --> 00:20:30.816
Ordered by the lord. bring me my teaching screen.
00:20:30.882 --> 00:20:33.185
Bring me my teaching screen. i got to teach you about
00:20:33.252 --> 00:20:33.952
I got to teach you about this because the enemy
00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:36.121
This because the enemy wants you to think that god
00:20:36.188 --> 00:20:37.289
Wants you to think that god is here but not here.
00:20:37.356 --> 00:20:41.593
Is here but not here. but without here,
00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:43.662
But without here, here does not happen.
00:20:43.729 --> 00:20:45.330
[applause]
00:20:45.764 --> 00:20:46.265
So, this message
00:20:46.732 --> 00:20:48.433
So, this message is designed to help you
00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:50.168
Is designed to help you with your mind today
00:20:50.235 --> 00:20:51.703
With your mind today because you keep thinking,
00:20:51.770 --> 00:20:52.871
Because you keep thinking, "what's wrong with me
00:20:52.938 --> 00:20:54.039
"what's wrong with me that it keeps dropping out?
00:20:54.106 --> 00:20:55.641
That it keeps dropping out? what's wrong with me that i keep
00:20:55.707 --> 00:20:57.409
What's wrong with me that i keep having to fight for this?
00:20:57.476 --> 00:20:58.810
Having to fight for this? what's wrong with me that
00:20:58.877 --> 00:21:00.345
What's wrong with me that i keep having to relearn
00:21:00.412 --> 00:21:01.446
I keep having to relearn the same lessons?"
00:21:01.513 --> 00:21:02.748
The same lessons?" the transformation
00:21:02.814 --> 00:21:03.682
The transformation and renewal of your mind
00:21:03.749 --> 00:21:04.750
And renewal of your mind is not a one-time event.
00:21:04.816 --> 00:21:06.585
Is not a one-time event. you have to walk this out.
00:21:06.652 --> 00:21:08.687
You have to walk this out. you have to walk this out.
00:21:08.754 --> 00:21:11.156
You have to walk this out. you have to walk this out
00:21:11.223 --> 00:21:12.291
You have to walk this out one moment at a time.
00:21:12.357 --> 00:21:14.626
One moment at a time. because another thing
00:21:14.693 --> 00:21:15.227
Because another thing i found out,
00:21:15.294 --> 00:21:15.727
I found out, put the chart back up, yeah.
00:21:15.794 --> 00:21:20.432
Put the chart back up, yeah. is that not only
00:21:20.499 --> 00:21:22.367
Is that not only are both of those important
00:21:22.434 --> 00:21:25.904
Are both of those important for my heart to beat,
00:21:25.971 --> 00:21:26.705
For my heart to beat, not only are both of those
00:21:26.772 --> 00:21:27.673
Not only are both of those important for me to know god
00:21:27.739 --> 00:21:29.641
Important for me to know god as my shepherd in the valley
00:21:29.708 --> 00:21:32.577
As my shepherd in the valley so i can praise him as
00:21:32.644 --> 00:21:33.779
So i can praise him as my provider on the mountain.
00:21:33.845 --> 00:21:37.516
My provider on the mountain. but all of those things are
00:21:37.582 --> 00:21:38.550
But all of those things are happening at the same time.
00:21:38.617 --> 00:21:43.689
Happening at the same time. we used to talk about
00:21:43.755 --> 00:21:44.489
We used to talk about seasons of blessing
00:21:44.556 --> 00:21:45.657
Seasons of blessing and seasons of burdens, right?
00:21:45.724 --> 00:21:48.327
And seasons of burdens, right? like, praise god on the mountain
00:21:48.393 --> 00:21:49.328
Like, praise god on the mountain and call god on the mountain
00:21:49.394 --> 00:21:50.429
And call god on the mountain and then when god's blessing you
00:21:50.495 --> 00:21:51.797
And then when god's blessing you in season and then when you're
00:21:51.863 --> 00:21:53.699
In season and then when you're in the valley season.
00:21:53.765 --> 00:21:55.000
In the valley season. if i went around the room
00:21:55.067 --> 00:21:55.734
If i went around the room today and i asked,
00:21:55.801 --> 00:21:56.601
Today and i asked, "are you in a mountain season
00:21:56.668 --> 00:21:57.402
"are you in a mountain season or a valley season?"
00:21:57.469 --> 00:21:58.103
Or a valley season?" the only answer that would be
00:21:58.170 --> 00:21:59.471
The only answer that would be appropriate is yes.
00:21:59.538 --> 00:22:04.309
Appropriate is yes. so, let's try it, class?
00:22:04.376 --> 00:22:05.110
So, let's try it, class? are you in a mountain season
00:22:05.177 --> 00:22:06.378
Are you in a mountain season or a valley season?
00:22:06.445 --> 00:22:07.679
Or a valley season? >> congregation: yes.
00:22:07.746 --> 00:22:10.082
>> congregation: yes. >> you mean you can go from
00:22:10.148 --> 00:22:11.616
>> you mean you can go from the valley to the mountain
00:22:11.683 --> 00:22:13.018
The valley to the mountain in a moment?
00:22:13.085 --> 00:22:15.687
In a moment? with a text, with a thought.
00:22:15.754 --> 00:22:19.658
With a text, with a thought. because there is something
00:22:19.725 --> 00:22:21.827
Because there is something to be said for seasons where
00:22:21.893 --> 00:22:23.628
To be said for seasons where god answers your prayers
00:22:23.695 --> 00:22:26.365
God answers your prayers and you're looking at it.
00:22:26.431 --> 00:22:28.367
And you're looking at it. there's something to be said
00:22:28.433 --> 00:22:30.135
There's something to be said for seasons when you see
00:22:30.202 --> 00:22:31.903
For seasons when you see no proof that he heard
00:22:31.970 --> 00:22:32.971
No proof that he heard your prayer and you're
00:22:33.038 --> 00:22:35.974
Your prayer and you're going by faith not sight.
00:22:36.041 --> 00:22:38.643
Going by faith not sight. but what i realize looking at
00:22:38.710 --> 00:22:39.511
But what i realize looking at that heartbeat is that those
00:22:39.578 --> 00:22:41.980
That heartbeat is that those events are not months apart.
00:22:42.047 --> 00:22:48.553
Events are not months apart. those are moments apart.
00:22:48.620 --> 00:22:53.358
Those are moments apart. see, i thought god would you
00:22:53.425 --> 00:22:54.092
See, i thought god would you bless real good for about
00:22:54.159 --> 00:22:54.760
Bless real good for about a month and you'd be on
00:22:54.826 --> 00:22:55.861
A month and you'd be on the mountain for a month.
00:22:55.927 --> 00:22:59.064
The mountain for a month. but god doesn't bless you
00:22:59.131 --> 00:22:59.731
But god doesn't bless you a month at a time,
00:22:59.798 --> 00:23:02.100
A month at a time, he blesses you
00:23:02.167 --> 00:23:02.768
He blesses you a moment at a time.
00:23:02.834 --> 00:23:04.903
[applause]
00:23:05.370 --> 00:23:06.738
And it is not only
00:23:07.038 --> 00:23:07.672
And it is not only the seasons that we need
00:23:07.739 --> 00:23:10.475
The seasons that we need to celebrate and not only
00:23:10.542 --> 00:23:11.710
To celebrate and not only the seasons that we need
00:23:11.777 --> 00:23:12.944
The seasons that we need to be strategic.
00:23:13.011 --> 00:23:13.812
To be strategic. the lord said to tell you,
00:23:13.879 --> 00:23:15.614
The lord said to tell you, "think seconds not seasons."
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.418
"think seconds not seasons." seconds not seasons.
00:23:19.484 --> 00:23:21.319

>> the mission
00:24:33.925 --> 00:24:34.626
Of steven furtick ministries
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.360
Has always been getting god's
00:24:35.494 --> 00:24:37.028
Word into people's hearts.
00:24:37.162 --> 00:24:39.464
In 2022,
00:24:39.598 --> 00:24:40.599
We launched our prison ministry
00:24:40.732 --> 00:24:42.033
And god has been moving.
00:24:42.167 --> 00:24:43.835
Today, our volunteers bring
00:24:43.969 --> 00:24:45.036
Church to 14 facilities
00:24:45.170 --> 00:24:46.505
Nationwide and reach thousands
00:24:46.638 --> 00:24:48.139
More online through
00:24:48.273 --> 00:24:49.274
Outreach partners
00:24:49.407 --> 00:24:50.075
And an app called pando.
00:24:50.208 --> 00:24:51.977
We've seen over 700 baptisms,
00:24:52.110 --> 00:24:54.346
Over 3,000 decisions for
00:24:54.479 --> 00:24:54.880
Christ,
00:24:55.013 --> 00:24:57.449
And we're believing that we
00:24:57.582 --> 00:24:58.049
Will
00:24:58.183 --> 00:24:59.751
Have a consistent presence in
00:24:59.885 --> 00:25:01.052
20 prisons by the end of 2026,
00:25:01.186 --> 00:25:03.188
Because we know that no place
00:25:03.321 --> 00:25:05.290
Is out of reach
00:25:05.423 --> 00:25:05.891
For the gospel,
00:25:06.024 --> 00:25:07.359
