And around it and around it? now, god left this book
00:00:23.877 --> 00:00:24.778
Now, god left this book in the bible for a reason.
00:00:24.844 --> 00:00:27.280
In the bible for a reason. i'm glad that god
00:00:27.347 --> 00:00:28.048
I'm glad that god didn't edit it out.
00:00:28.114 --> 00:00:30.216
Didn't edit it out. 'cause then i would feel like
00:00:30.283 --> 00:00:31.317
'cause then i would feel like that being an overcomer
00:00:31.384 --> 00:00:32.152
That being an overcomer in christ means that
00:00:32.218 --> 00:00:32.952
In christ means that i feel no pain.
00:00:33.019 --> 00:00:35.188
I feel no pain. i would think that being
00:00:35.255 --> 00:00:35.955
I would think that being afraid was a lack of faith
00:00:36.022 --> 00:00:38.258
Afraid was a lack of faith if he didn't leave it all in.
00:00:38.324 --> 00:00:40.593
If he didn't leave it all in. he said,
00:00:40.660 --> 00:00:41.027
He said, "i've been afflicted.
00:00:41.094 --> 00:00:41.528
"i've been afflicted. i've wandered.
00:00:41.594 --> 00:00:42.195
I've wandered. i've tasted bitterness and gall.
00:00:42.262 --> 00:00:43.863
I've tasted bitterness and gall. i am so filled with it that i
00:00:43.930 --> 00:00:45.865
I am so filled with it that i even began to wonder,
00:00:45.932 --> 00:00:47.100
Even began to wonder, not only am i not enough,
00:00:47.167 --> 00:00:49.969
Not only am i not enough, but is god enough?
00:00:50.036 --> 00:00:53.273
But is god enough? the devil won't tell you
00:00:53.339 --> 00:00:54.307
The devil won't tell you god isn't enough.
00:00:54.374 --> 00:00:55.909
God isn't enough. you know too many bible verses
00:00:55.975 --> 00:00:57.343
You know too many bible verses for him to do that.
00:00:57.410 --> 00:00:59.512
For him to do that. he'll start to tell him that
00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:00.613
He'll start to tell him that he's not enough for you
00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:04.017
He's not enough for you and your situation,
00:01:04.084 --> 00:01:06.019
And your situation, and how it's different with you.
00:01:06.086 --> 00:01:08.388
And how it's different with you. and you start circling.
00:01:08.455 --> 00:01:10.423
And you start circling. how bad it hurts, and it hurts,
00:01:10.490 --> 00:01:13.159
How bad it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts, and it did hurt.
00:01:13.226 --> 00:01:14.727
And it hurts, and it did hurt. it hurt for jeremiah
00:01:14.794 --> 00:01:15.795
It hurt for jeremiah to lose everyone he loved.
00:01:15.862 --> 00:01:17.430
To lose everyone he loved. it hurt for them
00:01:17.497 --> 00:01:18.398
It hurt for them to walk out on you.
00:01:18.465 --> 00:01:19.432
To walk out on you. it hurt for them to say
00:01:19.499 --> 00:01:21.067
It hurt for them to say that about you.
00:01:21.134 --> 00:01:21.868
That about you. it hurt for them
00:01:21.935 --> 00:01:23.203
It hurt for them to criticize you.
00:01:23.269 --> 00:01:24.404
To criticize you. it hurt in your body
00:01:24.471 --> 00:01:26.339
It hurt in your body when you were diagnosed
00:01:26.406 --> 00:01:27.307
When you were diagnosed with an illness and then
00:01:27.373 --> 00:01:28.341
With an illness and then you found out it was worse
00:01:28.408 --> 00:01:29.342
You found out it was worse than you thought.
00:01:29.409 --> 00:01:29.976
Than you thought. it hurt,
00:01:30.043 --> 00:01:31.177
It hurt, and it hurt,
00:01:31.244 --> 00:01:31.911
And it hurt, and it hurt.
00:01:31.978 --> 00:01:32.812
And it hurt. and if i were the devil,
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:34.080
And if i were the devil, i would keep you
00:01:34.147 --> 00:01:35.215
I would keep you circling your hurt.
00:01:35.281 --> 00:01:37.851
Circling your hurt. because as long as you remember
00:01:37.917 --> 00:01:40.086
Because as long as you remember it more than you
00:01:40.153 --> 00:01:43.022
It more than you recognize god in it,
00:01:43.089 --> 00:01:46.726
Recognize god in it, he can keep you going around
00:01:46.793 --> 00:01:48.628
He can keep you going around and around
00:01:48.695 --> 00:01:49.796
And around and around
00:01:49.863 --> 00:01:50.430
And around and never get to verse 21.
00:01:50.497 --> 00:01:55.768
And never get to verse 21. now, what happens in verse 21
00:01:55.835 --> 00:01:57.403
Now, what happens in verse 21 of lamentations 3
00:01:57.470 --> 00:01:59.072
Of lamentations 3 is very powerful.
00:01:59.139 --> 00:02:00.540
Is very powerful. i wrote down in my notes,
00:02:00.607 --> 00:02:02.175
I wrote down in my notes, "when you say this point
00:02:02.242 --> 00:02:03.776
"when you say this point walk down and make
00:02:03.843 --> 00:02:04.911
Walk down and make sure they're paying attention."
00:02:04.978 --> 00:02:06.179
[laughter]
00:02:06.579 --> 00:02:07.313
That's what i'll do right now.
00:02:07.747 --> 00:02:10.316
That's what i'll do right now. you would expect that
00:02:10.383 --> 00:02:11.951
You would expect that with jeremiah
00:02:12.018 --> 00:02:12.986
With jeremiah who is a prophet for god --
00:02:13.052 --> 00:02:14.754
Who is a prophet for god -- what is jeremiah?
00:02:14.821 --> 00:02:16.156
What is jeremiah? >> congregation: prophet.
00:02:16.222 --> 00:02:16.823
>> congregation: prophet. >> not a bull frog.
00:02:16.890 --> 00:02:17.757
>> not a bull frog. he is a.
00:02:17.824 --> 00:02:18.691
He is a. >> congregation: prophet.
00:02:18.758 --> 00:02:21.161
>> congregation: prophet. >> for the old timers.
00:02:21.227 --> 00:02:22.595
>> for the old timers. i know you don't know about it.
00:02:22.662 --> 00:02:23.663
I know you don't know about it. you don't need to know about it.
00:02:23.730 --> 00:02:24.964
You don't need to know about it. it's the same stuff.
00:02:25.031 --> 00:02:25.932
It's the same stuff. it's the same stuff.
00:02:25.999 --> 00:02:27.066
It's the same stuff. it works every time.
00:02:27.133 --> 00:02:29.536
It works every time. he's a prophet for god,
00:02:29.602 --> 00:02:30.570
He's a prophet for god, which means he speaks
00:02:30.637 --> 00:02:32.138
Which means he speaks for god to people.
00:02:32.205 --> 00:02:33.840
For god to people. so, you will think
00:02:33.907 --> 00:02:34.774
So, you will think at this moment,
00:02:34.841 --> 00:02:35.608
At this moment, and you are
00:02:35.675 --> 00:02:36.442
And you are understandably wrong,
00:02:36.509 --> 00:02:38.578
Understandably wrong, that god is going
00:02:38.645 --> 00:02:39.412
That god is going to speak to him because
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:40.313
To speak to him because he speaks for god.
00:02:40.380 --> 00:02:42.348
He speaks for god. but what blew my mind,
00:02:42.415 --> 00:02:44.617
But what blew my mind, and i don't mean
00:02:44.684 --> 00:02:45.285
And i don't mean mind blow emoji,
00:02:45.351 --> 00:02:46.819
Mind blow emoji, i mean cold chills up
00:02:46.886 --> 00:02:48.421
I mean cold chills up and down my body while
00:02:48.488 --> 00:02:49.956
And down my body while i was praying about some
00:02:50.023 --> 00:02:51.758
I was praying about some of the hurts that i keep
00:02:51.824 --> 00:02:52.792
Of the hurts that i keep circling in my life,
00:02:52.859 --> 00:02:54.093
Circling in my life, some of the abandonment
00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:55.528
Some of the abandonment that i keep reliving
00:02:55.595 --> 00:02:56.596
That i keep reliving in my heart,
00:02:56.663 --> 00:02:57.297
In my heart, some of the trauma,
00:02:57.363 --> 00:02:58.998
Some of the trauma, if i can use an overused word,
00:02:59.065 --> 00:03:00.633
If i can use an overused word, that enters my body
00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:02.368
During high stress times
00:03:02.468 --> 00:03:03.503
During high stress times and i don't know what
00:03:03.570 --> 00:03:04.304
And i don't know what to do because i am expecting
00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:06.339
To do because i am expecting for god to speak to jeremiah.
00:03:06.406 --> 00:03:09.375
For god to speak to jeremiah. but in lamentations 3,
00:03:09.442 --> 00:03:11.611
But in lamentations 3, god doesn't speak,
00:03:11.678 --> 00:03:14.747
God doesn't speak, jeremiah does.
00:03:14.814 --> 00:03:17.317
That changed my life
00:03:17.417 --> 00:03:20.987
That changed my life because i'm expecting him
00:03:21.054 --> 00:03:22.088
Because i'm expecting him to say, "my hope is gone.
00:03:22.155 --> 00:03:24.090
To say, "my hope is gone. god is gone."
00:03:24.157 --> 00:03:25.225
God is gone." and i'm expecting
00:03:25.291 --> 00:03:26.025
And i'm expecting god to stand up and say,
00:03:26.092 --> 00:03:27.327
God to stand up and say, "no, i'm not jeremiah.
00:03:27.393 --> 00:03:29.562
"no, i'm not jeremiah. i am here and i am he."
00:03:29.629 --> 00:03:32.365
I am here and i am he." but god doesn't say a word,
00:03:32.432 --> 00:03:35.568
But god doesn't say a word, jeremiah does.
00:03:35.635 --> 00:03:37.337
Jeremiah does. and when jeremiah speaks,
00:03:37.403 --> 00:03:39.839
And when jeremiah speaks, god comes.
00:03:39.906 --> 00:03:41.474
God comes. god is waiting for you
00:03:41.541 --> 00:03:43.710
God is waiting for you to change what you say.
00:03:43.776 --> 00:03:45.812
To change what you say. and you are going to see
00:03:45.878 --> 00:03:48.214
And you are going to see what he spoke when you
00:03:48.281 --> 00:03:49.015
What he spoke when you change what you say.
00:03:49.082 --> 00:03:51.618
Change what you say. shove three people tell 'em,
00:03:51.684 --> 00:03:52.885
Shove three people tell 'em, "change what you say.
00:03:52.952 --> 00:03:54.187
"change what you say. >> congregation: change what
00:03:54.254 --> 00:03:54.921
>> congregation: change what you say.
00:03:54.988 --> 00:03:55.255
You say. >> and if you change
00:03:55.321 --> 00:03:55.855
>> and if you change what you say,
00:03:55.922 --> 00:03:57.357
What you say, you'll change what you see."
00:03:57.423 --> 00:03:59.259
You'll change what you see." and god will walk in the room,
00:03:59.325 --> 00:04:01.461
And god will walk in the room, and god will show up
00:04:01.527 --> 00:04:02.795
And god will show up in the hospital.
00:04:02.862 --> 00:04:03.997
In the hospital. and god will show up
00:04:04.063 --> 00:04:05.398
And god will show up in a broken heart.
00:04:05.465 --> 00:04:06.633
In a broken heart. and god will show
00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:07.700
And god will show up at your job.
00:04:07.767 --> 00:04:09.168
Up at your job. and god will show
00:04:09.235 --> 00:04:10.370
And god will show up in your emptiness.
00:04:10.436 --> 00:04:11.704
Up in your emptiness. and god will show
00:04:11.771 --> 00:04:12.772
And god will show up in your loneliness.
00:04:12.839 --> 00:04:14.207
Up in your loneliness. and god will show
00:04:14.274 --> 00:04:15.174
And god will show up in your doubt.
00:04:15.241 --> 00:04:16.643
Up in your doubt. and jesus will come
00:04:16.709 --> 00:04:18.111
And jesus will come into your storm.
00:04:18.177 --> 00:04:19.512
Into your storm. and jesus will
00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:20.780
And jesus will step into your boat.
00:04:20.847 --> 00:04:22.348
Step into your boat. and jesus will make a wind
00:04:22.415 --> 00:04:24.284
And jesus will make a wind and a wave die down
00:04:24.350 --> 00:04:25.952
And a wave die down when you speak.
00:04:26.019 --> 00:04:29.522
When you speak. come on, call him right now.
00:04:29.589 --> 00:04:31.124
Come on, call him right now. somebody say, "jesus.
00:04:31.190 --> 00:04:32.759

Years for therapy. i need you right now.
00:04:41.267 --> 00:04:43.770
I need you right now. i need you right now, jesus.
00:04:43.836 --> 00:04:45.438

So please believe me when

So please believe me when i say that i know it hurts,
00:04:51.110 --> 00:04:54.113
I say that i know it hurts, but you have to make
00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:55.048
But you have to make a decision, don't you?
00:04:55.114 --> 00:04:57.483
A decision, don't you? am i going to keep circling
00:04:57.550 --> 00:04:58.918
Am i going to keep circling my hurt or am i going
00:04:58.985 --> 00:05:01.721
My hurt or am i going to summon my help?
00:05:01.788 --> 00:05:03.990
To summon my help? oh god.
00:05:04.057 --> 00:05:05.925
Oh god. because when you call jesus,
00:05:05.992 --> 00:05:08.294
Because when you call jesus, help is on the way.
00:05:08.361 --> 00:05:10.196
Help is on the way. because when you say,
00:05:10.263 --> 00:05:11.297
Because when you say, "come, lord,"
00:05:11.364 --> 00:05:12.465
"come, lord," because when you say,

Because when you say, "i'm empty and i need
00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:14.600
"i'm empty and i need to be filled,"
00:05:14.667 --> 00:05:15.868
To be filled," jesus shows up.

Yes, some people suck. they're human,
00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:27.513
They're human, but some don't.

But some don't. and god said to remind you that
00:05:29.315 --> 00:05:32.585
And god said to remind you that the longer you circle your hurt,
00:05:32.652 --> 00:05:37.490
The longer you circle your hurt, the less you
00:05:37.557 --> 00:05:38.825
The less you can summon your help.
00:05:38.891 --> 00:05:42.328

I got help. that's what
00:08:53.619 --> 00:08:54.120
That's what the prophet said, elisha.
00:08:54.186 --> 00:08:57.757
He says,
00:08:57.857 --> 00:08:58.291
He says, "there is more than with them."
00:08:58.357 --> 00:09:02.261
"there is more than with them." same lies.
00:09:02.328 --> 00:09:03.129
Same lies. the devil's got
00:09:03.195 --> 00:09:03.729
The devil's got you surrounded again.

You surrounded again. whatever is surrounding you,
00:09:06.198 --> 00:09:08.601
Whatever is surrounding you, god made a loop surrounding it.
00:09:08.668 --> 00:09:11.737
God made a loop surrounding it. same lies.
00:09:11.804 --> 00:09:16.642
How did the prophet elijah
00:09:16.742 --> 00:09:19.078
How did the prophet elijah end up hiding in a cave
00:09:19.145 --> 00:09:21.414
End up hiding in a cave from a woman named jezebel?
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.717
From a woman named jezebel? he forgot he had help
00:09:24.784 --> 00:09:29.355
He forgot he had help and he sat down on a broom
00:09:29.422 --> 00:09:31.724
And he sat down on a broom tree and said,
00:09:31.791 --> 00:09:32.992
Tree and said, "kill me, god,"
00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:34.427
"kill me, god," and god wouldn't kill him.
00:09:34.493 --> 00:09:36.562
And god wouldn't kill him. god wouldn't kill him
00:09:36.629 --> 00:09:38.331
God wouldn't kill him because he had
00:09:38.397 --> 00:09:38.965
Because he had a new loop for him.
00:09:39.031 --> 00:09:41.233
A new loop for him. god wouldn't even let you die.
00:09:41.300 --> 00:09:44.136
God wouldn't even let you die. god wouldn't even let you
00:09:44.203 --> 00:09:45.605
God wouldn't even let you abandon the faith.
00:09:45.671 --> 00:09:47.239
Abandon the faith. god wouldn't even let you
00:09:47.306 --> 00:09:48.541
God wouldn't even let you not come to church today.
00:09:48.608 --> 00:09:50.776
Not come to church today. you had a bad attitude
00:09:50.843 --> 00:09:52.078
You had a bad attitude when you walked in,
00:09:52.144 --> 00:09:53.546
When you walked in, and god dragged your bad
00:09:53.613 --> 00:09:54.880
And god dragged your bad attitude in with your
00:09:54.947 --> 00:09:56.015
Attitude in with your worship in mouth,
00:09:56.082 --> 00:09:57.283
Worship in mouth, and now you found out,
00:09:57.350 --> 00:09:59.218
And now you found out, "i have help."
00:09:59.285 --> 00:10:01.420
"i have help." but you don't know
00:10:01.487 --> 00:10:02.088
But you don't know that when you're
00:10:02.154 --> 00:10:02.722
That when you're in the valley.
00:10:02.788 --> 00:10:03.255
In the valley. bring me that bible
00:10:03.322 --> 00:10:04.290
Bring me that bible in first kings 19.
00:10:04.357 --> 00:10:06.025
In first kings 19. i already sat down.
00:10:06.092 --> 00:10:07.059
I already sat down. i don't feel like
00:10:07.126 --> 00:10:07.693
I don't feel like getting back up to get mine.
00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:09.128
Getting back up to get mine. and this was mine
00:10:09.195 --> 00:10:09.929
And this was mine before i gave it to you.
00:10:09.996 --> 00:10:11.364
Before i gave it to you. somebody, help me.
00:10:11.430 --> 00:10:12.999
Somebody, help me. come on, help me preach y'all.
00:10:13.065 --> 00:10:14.233
Come on, help me preach y'all. i'm not up here by myself.
00:10:14.300 --> 00:10:15.635
I'm not up here by myself. i'm not in this by myself.
00:10:15.701 --> 00:10:16.902
[applause]
00:10:17.269 --> 00:10:18.504
And the bible said
00:10:18.938 --> 00:10:19.538
And the bible said that elijah ran 40 days,
00:10:19.605 --> 00:10:21.307
That elijah ran 40 days, 40 nights into the cave.
00:10:21.374 --> 00:10:23.442
40 nights into the cave. and i wanna show you
00:10:23.509 --> 00:10:24.210
And i wanna show you the loop that he was in
00:10:24.276 --> 00:10:25.478
The loop that he was in because it might be very
00:10:25.544 --> 00:10:26.812
Because it might be very meaningful to you.
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.913
Meaningful to you. the lord came to him,
00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:29.115
The lord came to him, and the lord shows off, man.
00:10:29.181 --> 00:10:30.883
And the lord shows off, man. when god comes,
00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:31.784
When god comes, he comes and does
00:10:31.851 --> 00:10:32.585
He comes and does all kinds of stuff.
00:10:32.652 --> 00:10:34.286
All kinds of stuff. see, the mountain that
00:10:34.353 --> 00:10:35.454
See, the mountain that he's at is mount sinai.
00:10:35.521 --> 00:10:37.423
He's at is mount sinai. you remember when god
00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:38.524
You remember when god gave to moses --
00:10:38.591 --> 00:10:39.558
Gave to moses -- the law to moses at mount sinai
00:10:39.625 --> 00:10:41.460
The law to moses at mount sinai and the earthquake came
00:10:41.527 --> 00:10:43.095
And the earthquake came and like the fire of god
00:10:43.162 --> 00:10:45.231
And like the fire of god and the glory of god.
00:10:45.297 --> 00:10:46.565
And the glory of god. so, when elijah goes to hide
00:10:46.632 --> 00:10:48.200
So, when elijah goes to hide in the cave because
00:10:48.267 --> 00:10:49.135
In the cave because he called down the fire
00:10:49.201 --> 00:10:49.969
He called down the fire from heaven.
00:10:50.036 --> 00:10:50.870
From heaven. but sometimes the thing
00:10:50.936 --> 00:10:51.671
But sometimes the thing that makes you powerful
00:10:51.737 --> 00:10:52.738
That makes you powerful on the mountain can make
00:10:52.805 --> 00:10:53.639
On the mountain can make you crazy in the cave.
00:10:53.706 --> 00:11:02.348
You crazy in the cave. and he begins to say this
00:11:02.415 --> 00:11:03.382
And he begins to say this thing to himself over
00:11:03.449 --> 00:11:05.818
Thing to himself over and over and over again.
00:11:05.885 --> 00:11:08.220
And over and over again. i mean, it's written
00:11:08.287 --> 00:11:09.555
I mean, it's written two times in 1 kings 19.
00:11:09.622 --> 00:11:12.091
The bible says that
00:11:12.191 --> 00:11:13.125
The bible says that the word of the lord came
00:11:13.192 --> 00:11:14.193
The word of the lord came to him when he was in his cave.
00:11:14.260 --> 00:11:16.495
To him when he was in his cave. and it said,
00:11:16.562 --> 00:11:17.063
And it said, "what are you
00:11:17.129 --> 00:11:17.663
"what are you doing here, elijah?"
00:11:17.730 --> 00:11:21.133
Doing here, elijah?" and he replied --
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.803
And he replied -- i gotta get up now.
00:11:23.869 --> 00:11:24.804
[laughter]
00:11:25.237 --> 00:11:26.105
I gotta draw it.
00:11:26.505 --> 00:11:28.274
I gotta draw it. i really want you to get this.
00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:30.976
I really want you to get this. i really want this to help you.
00:11:31.043 --> 00:11:33.345
I really want this to help you. i don't want you
00:11:33.412 --> 00:11:34.046
I don't want you just to hear me.
00:11:34.113 --> 00:11:34.714
Just to hear me. i wanna help you.
00:11:34.780 --> 00:11:36.682
I wanna help you. i know that the devil
00:11:36.749 --> 00:11:37.817
I know that the devil has been lying to you.
00:11:37.883 --> 00:11:39.018
Has been lying to you. i know he's been telling
00:11:39.085 --> 00:11:40.052
I know he's been telling you that there is something
00:11:40.119 --> 00:11:41.287
You that there is something incurably wrong with you.
00:11:41.353 --> 00:11:42.822
Incurably wrong with you. i know he's been telling you
00:11:42.888 --> 00:11:44.190
I know he's been telling you that it's your fault from what
00:11:44.256 --> 00:11:45.357
That it's your fault from what happened five years ago that
00:11:45.424 --> 00:11:46.459
Happened five years ago that you can't apologize for again,
00:11:46.525 --> 00:11:48.027
You can't apologize for again, but you can only move forward.
00:11:48.094 --> 00:11:49.295
But you can only move forward. i know what he's saying,
00:11:49.361 --> 00:11:50.496
I know what he's saying, but here is elijah in the cave,
00:11:50.563 --> 00:11:58.104
But here is elijah in the cave, and the lord asked him,
00:11:58.170 --> 00:11:59.872
And the lord asked him, "what are you doing here?"
00:11:59.939 --> 00:12:01.407
"what are you doing here?" he's not happy either.
00:12:01.474 --> 00:12:02.742
[laughter]
00:12:03.142 --> 00:12:04.176
He said,
00:12:08.114 --> 00:12:12.251
"i am the only one."
00:12:12.351 --> 00:12:24.930
"i am the only one." lie.
00:12:24.997 --> 00:12:27.767
Show him 1 kings 19:17.
00:12:27.867 --> 00:12:32.471
Show him 1 kings 19:17. think that's the right one.
00:12:32.538 --> 00:12:34.640
Verse 18, god said,
00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:38.043
Verse 18, god said, "yet i reserve 7000 in israel,
00:12:38.110 --> 00:12:39.979
"yet i reserve 7000 in israel, all whose knees have not
00:12:40.045 --> 00:12:40.980
All whose knees have not bowed to baal."
00:12:41.046 --> 00:12:43.048
Bowed to baal." elijah said,
00:12:43.115 --> 00:12:43.816
Elijah said, "i'm the only one not
00:12:43.883 --> 00:12:44.884
Serving the false god.
00:12:44.984 --> 00:12:46.051
Serving the false god. i'm the only one."
00:12:46.118 --> 00:12:49.822
I'm the only one." boy, he's got that song
00:12:49.889 --> 00:12:50.856
Boy, he's got that song on a loop too.
00:12:50.923 --> 00:12:52.525
On a loop too. "i'm the only one.
00:12:52.591 --> 00:12:55.094
"i'm the only one. i'm the only one."
00:12:55.161 --> 00:12:56.595
I'm the only one." say it long enough,
00:12:56.662 --> 00:12:57.229
Say it long enough, it'll feel true.
00:12:57.296 --> 00:12:58.330
It'll feel true. treat people that way long
00:12:58.397 --> 00:12:59.131
Treat people that way long enough it'll become true.
00:12:59.198 --> 00:13:05.337
Enough it'll become true. now it's not just a lie,
00:13:05.404 --> 00:13:06.238
Now it's not just a lie, it's a loop,
00:13:06.305 --> 00:13:07.239
It's a loop, and it's your life.
00:13:07.306 --> 00:13:09.241
And it's your life. and you say, "i had hope,
00:13:09.308 --> 00:13:10.643
And you say, "i had hope, but i lost it in the loop."
00:13:10.709 --> 00:13:14.213
But i lost it in the loop." read the story, saints.
00:13:14.280 --> 00:13:15.481
Read the story, saints. 1 kings 19:10,
00:13:15.548 --> 00:13:17.316
1 kings 19:10, the lord said,
00:13:17.383 --> 00:13:19.051
The lord said, "what are you doing here elijah?
00:13:19.118 --> 00:13:21.954
"what are you doing here elijah? what are you doing here?"
00:13:22.021 --> 00:13:23.756
"he replied,
00:13:23.856 --> 00:13:24.523
"he replied, 'i've been very zealous
00:13:24.590 --> 00:13:25.391
'i've been very zealous for the lord god almighty.
00:13:25.457 --> 00:13:27.226
For the lord god almighty. the israelites have
00:13:27.293 --> 00:13:27.927
The israelites have rejected your covenant.'"
00:13:27.993 --> 00:13:29.195
Rejected your covenant.'" true.
00:13:29.261 --> 00:13:29.962
True. they did.
00:13:30.029 --> 00:13:31.263
They did. they did,
00:13:31.330 --> 00:13:33.599
They did, because humans hurt you.
00:13:33.666 --> 00:13:39.505
Because humans hurt you. "they torn down your altars."
00:13:39.572 --> 00:13:40.973
"they torn down your altars." true, they did that.
00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:43.943
True, they did that. "they put your profits to death
00:13:44.009 --> 00:13:45.211
"they put your profits to death with the sword."
00:13:45.277 --> 00:13:45.978
With the sword." that's true.
00:13:46.045 --> 00:13:46.979
That's true. they did that.
00:13:47.046 --> 00:13:48.848
They did that. "and i am the only one left."
00:13:48.914 --> 00:13:51.150
"and i am the only one left." lie.
00:13:51.217 --> 00:13:53.652
But the devil had convinced him
00:13:53.752 --> 00:13:54.753
But the devil had convinced him so much with stuff that was true
00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:57.857
So much with stuff that was true that once he got him
00:13:57.923 --> 00:13:58.524
That once he got him in the loop,
00:13:58.591 --> 00:13:59.091
In the loop, it was easy to convince him
00:13:59.158 --> 00:14:00.092
It was easy to convince him of what wasn't true.
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.395
Of what wasn't true. and now elijah is giving
00:14:03.462 --> 00:14:05.998
And now elijah is giving this speech to god.
00:14:06.065 --> 00:14:08.234
This speech to god. how are you gonna start telling
00:14:08.300 --> 00:14:09.301
How are you gonna start telling god how god's people
00:14:09.368 --> 00:14:11.770
God how god's people abandoned god?
00:14:11.837 --> 00:14:14.440
Abandoned god? how do you think it hurt you
00:14:14.506 --> 00:14:15.341
How do you think it hurt you more than it hurt god?
00:14:15.407 --> 00:14:17.476
More than it hurt god? but he's been circling
00:14:17.543 --> 00:14:18.277
But he's been circling this hurt for a long time.
00:14:18.344 --> 00:14:19.578
This hurt for a long time. and when you circle
00:14:19.645 --> 00:14:20.512
And when you circle your hurt long enough,
00:14:20.579 --> 00:14:21.480
Your hurt long enough, you don't summon your help.
00:14:21.547 --> 00:14:24.550
You don't summon your help. you forget how to reach
00:14:24.617 --> 00:14:25.317
You forget how to reach out to who you do have.
00:14:25.384 --> 00:14:26.719
Out to who you do have. you forget to pray how
00:14:26.785 --> 00:14:27.486
You forget to pray how you know how to pray.
00:14:27.553 --> 00:14:28.921
You know how to pray. you forget to be grateful,
00:14:28.988 --> 00:14:29.989
You forget to be grateful, don't you?
00:14:30.055 --> 00:14:31.657
Don't you? you stop saying those gratitude
00:14:31.724 --> 00:14:32.958
You stop saying those gratitude things in the morning.
00:14:33.025 --> 00:14:33.792
Things in the morning. you stop saying them because
00:14:33.859 --> 00:14:35.027
You stop saying them because you got up on not enough
00:14:35.094 --> 00:14:37.429
You got up on not enough and not loved.
00:14:37.496 --> 00:14:39.131
And not loved. and that got on the loop.
00:14:39.198 --> 00:14:40.099
And that got on the loop. now watch what the lord does.
00:14:40.165 --> 00:14:42.067
He is so kind.
00:14:42.167 --> 00:14:42.935
He is so kind. elijah says,
00:14:43.002 --> 00:14:43.736
Elijah says, "'now they are trying
00:14:43.802 --> 00:14:44.570
"'now they are trying to kill me too.'
00:14:44.637 --> 00:14:45.404
To kill me too.' and the lord said,
00:14:45.471 --> 00:14:46.605
And the lord said, 'go out and stand on
00:14:46.672 --> 00:14:47.573
'go out and stand on the mountain in the presence
00:14:47.640 --> 00:14:48.607
The mountain in the presence of the lord,
00:14:48.674 --> 00:14:49.341
Of the lord, for the lord is about
00:14:49.408 --> 00:14:50.142
For the lord is about to pass by.'
00:14:50.209 --> 00:14:51.310
To pass by.' then a great and powerful
00:14:51.377 --> 00:14:52.278
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains
00:14:52.344 --> 00:14:53.245
Wind tore the mountains apart and shattered
00:14:53.312 --> 00:14:54.280
Apart and shattered the rocks before the lord.
00:14:54.346 --> 00:14:55.681
The rocks before the lord. but the lord wasn't in the wind.
00:14:55.748 --> 00:14:56.982
But the lord wasn't in the wind. and the wind came.
00:14:57.049 --> 00:14:58.584
And the wind came. and then after the wind
00:14:58.651 --> 00:14:59.318
And then after the wind there was an earthquake,
00:14:59.385 --> 00:15:00.185
There was an earthquake, but the lord was not
00:15:00.252 --> 00:15:00.786
But the lord was not in the earthquake.
00:15:00.853 --> 00:15:01.720
In the earthquake. and after the earthquake
00:15:01.787 --> 00:15:02.721
And after the earthquake came a fire,
00:15:02.788 --> 00:15:03.422
Came a fire, but the lord was not
00:15:03.489 --> 00:15:04.857
But the lord was not in the fire.'"
00:15:04.924 --> 00:15:06.425
In the fire.'" the lord came in all
00:15:06.492 --> 00:15:07.426
Of those ways in moses' time
00:15:07.526 --> 00:15:10.596
Of those ways in moses' time but he's coming a different
00:15:10.663 --> 00:15:11.397
But he's coming a different way to elijah.
00:15:11.463 --> 00:15:14.400
Way to elijah. can you let god come
00:15:14.466 --> 00:15:15.167
Can you let god come to you a different
00:15:15.234 --> 00:15:15.901
To you a different way and not think
00:15:15.968 --> 00:15:16.635
Way and not think that he left you?
00:15:16.702 --> 00:15:17.436
[applause]
00:15:19.705 --> 00:15:24.843
I feel this thing
00:15:25.277 --> 00:15:25.711
I feel this thing going deep.

Need to hear it today who have been on the loop.

[applause]
00:15:34.787 --> 00:15:37.923
"and after the fire,
00:15:38.891 --> 00:15:39.558
"and after the fire, came a gentle whisper."
00:15:39.625 --> 00:15:42.161
Came a gentle whisper." i've done whole messages
00:15:42.227 --> 00:15:43.329
Where i whispered
00:15:43.429 --> 00:15:44.196
Where i whispered for ten minutes to talk
00:15:44.263 --> 00:15:46.632
For ten minutes to talk to you about how when
00:15:46.699 --> 00:15:48.934
To you about how when the enemy is lying to you,
00:15:49.001 --> 00:15:50.669
He's loud because
00:15:50.769 --> 00:15:53.138
He's loud because he can't get to you.
00:15:53.205 --> 00:15:55.975
He can't get to you. when god tells the truth to you,
00:15:56.041 --> 00:15:58.077
When god tells the truth to you, he whispers,
00:15:58.143 --> 00:15:59.912
He whispers, because he's close.
00:15:59.979 --> 00:16:01.213
[applause]
00:16:02.881 --> 00:16:09.488
That's why the devil's
00:16:09.922 --> 00:16:10.456
That's why the devil's so much louder.
00:16:10.522 --> 00:16:12.157
So much louder. that's why you have to draw
00:16:12.224 --> 00:16:13.125
That's why you have to draw near to god to hear him.
00:16:13.192 --> 00:16:16.829
And the bible says when elijah

Heard that whisper, verse 13, boy,

Verse 13, boy, this font is so small.
00:16:21.166 --> 00:16:22.568
This font is so small. i can't believe i used
00:16:22.634 --> 00:16:23.335
I can't believe i used to preach from this bible.
00:16:23.402 --> 00:16:26.305
To preach from this bible. "when elijah heard it,
00:16:26.372 --> 00:16:28.574
"when elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak
00:16:28.640 --> 00:16:29.775
He pulled his cloak over his face and went
00:16:29.842 --> 00:16:31.010
Over his face and went out and stood at the mouth
00:16:31.076 --> 00:16:33.946
Out and stood at the mouth of the cave."
00:16:34.013 --> 00:16:35.214
Of the cave." ain't that a crazy phrase,
00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:37.216
Ain't that a crazy phrase, "the mouth of the cave?"
00:16:37.282 --> 00:16:38.250
The cave has been talking,
00:16:38.350 --> 00:16:41.420
The cave has been talking, just bouncing around.
00:16:41.487 --> 00:16:43.689
Just bouncing around. you're the only one.
00:16:43.756 --> 00:16:45.257
You're the only one. the mou --
00:16:45.324 --> 00:16:45.791
The mou -- you ever heard

You ever heard the mouth of the cave?
00:16:46.291 --> 00:16:47.926
The mouth of the cave? but then comes
00:16:47.993 --> 00:16:49.828
But then comes the voice of the lord.
00:16:49.895 --> 00:16:51.697
The voice of the lord. i cannot draw god,
00:16:51.764 --> 00:16:54.133
I cannot draw god, but i'mma make

Him bigger than elijah. i make him happy.
00:16:56.735 --> 00:16:58.003
[laughter]
00:16:58.337 --> 00:16:58.670

And god says, watch this. god says,

God says, watch this, "new loop.

Watch this, "new loop. i say, i say."
00:17:08.580 --> 00:17:12.284
I say, i say." and the lord god of elijah
00:17:12.351 --> 00:17:15.854
And the lord god of elijah brought you here today
00:17:15.921 --> 00:17:17.489
Brought you here today to open a new loop
00:17:17.556 --> 00:17:18.857
To open a new loop over your life,
00:17:18.924 --> 00:17:20.192
Over your life, a new way of thinking,
00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:21.627
A new way of thinking, a new way of being,
00:17:21.693 --> 00:17:23.429
A new way of being, a new way
00:17:23.495 --> 00:17:23.929
A new way of handling adversity,
00:17:23.996 --> 00:17:25.664
Of handling adversity, a new way of processing pain.
00:17:25.731 --> 00:17:27.966
A new way of processing pain. it's as small as a whisper,
00:17:28.033 --> 00:17:30.169
It's as small as a whisper, but it can change your world.
00:17:30.235 --> 00:17:32.471
But it can change your world. it can break you out
00:17:32.538 --> 00:17:33.672
It can break you out of the cycle of thinking
00:17:33.739 --> 00:17:35.374
Of the cycle of thinking that put you in this
00:17:35.441 --> 00:17:36.475
That put you in this place all alone,
00:17:36.542 --> 00:17:37.576
Place all alone, that made you feel shut
00:17:37.643 --> 00:17:38.911
That made you feel shut off and cut off
00:17:38.977 --> 00:17:40.512
Off and cut off and forgot your help
00:17:40.579 --> 00:17:42.014
And forgot your help and circling your hurt.
00:17:42.081 --> 00:17:43.549
And circling your hurt. jeremiah said it 250 years
00:17:43.615 --> 00:17:46.385
Jeremiah said it 250 years after elijah learned it.
00:17:46.452 --> 00:17:48.353
After elijah learned it. he ministered in
00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:49.254
He ministered in a different place,
00:17:49.321 --> 00:17:50.055
A different place, but it's the same lesson.
00:17:50.122 --> 00:17:51.423
But it's the same lesson. this i call to my mind.
00:17:51.490 --> 00:17:53.559
This i call to my mind. therefore, i have hope.
00:17:53.625 --> 00:17:55.894
Therefore, i have hope. it is because of the lord's
00:17:55.961 --> 00:17:57.529
It is because of the lord's new loop.
00:17:57.596 --> 00:17:58.564
New loop. it is because
00:17:58.630 --> 00:17:59.231
It is because of the lord's voice.
00:17:59.298 --> 00:18:00.866
Of the lord's voice. it is because
00:18:00.933 --> 00:18:01.700
It is because of the lord's love.
00:18:01.767 --> 00:18:03.268
Of the lord's love. it is because his
00:18:03.335 --> 00:18:04.236
It is because his compassions are infinite.
00:18:04.303 --> 00:18:06.472
Compassions are infinite. it's a new loop.
00:18:06.538 --> 00:18:07.940
It's a new loop. it's a loop of his love
00:18:08.006 --> 00:18:09.441
It's a loop of his love that never stops.
00:18:09.508 --> 00:18:10.509
That never stops. it means he's got me in his hand
00:18:10.576 --> 00:18:12.811
It means he's got me in his hand even when i don't understand
00:18:12.878 --> 00:18:14.113
Even when i don't understand it in my mind.
00:18:14.179 --> 00:18:15.514
It in my mind. it means he's got me in his
00:18:15.581 --> 00:18:17.182
It means he's got me in his plan even when i can't prove
00:18:17.249 --> 00:18:18.884
Plan even when i can't prove it with my math.
00:18:18.951 --> 00:18:20.152
It with my math. it means he's got me
00:18:20.219 --> 00:18:21.753
It means he's got me in his sovereign will
00:18:21.820 --> 00:18:24.089
In his sovereign will even when i rebelled
00:18:24.156 --> 00:18:25.491
Even when i rebelled and got off course.
00:18:25.557 --> 00:18:27.226
And got off course. and the bible
00:18:27.292 --> 00:18:27.960
And the bible says he asked him
00:18:28.026 --> 00:18:28.760
Says he asked him a second time,
00:18:28.827 --> 00:18:29.728
"what are you
00:18:29.828 --> 00:18:31.363
"what are you doing here, elijah?"
00:18:31.430 --> 00:18:33.499
Doing here, elijah?" and elijah replied, verse 14,
00:18:33.565 --> 00:18:35.767
And elijah replied, verse 14, "i have been very zealous
00:18:35.834 --> 00:18:37.736
"i have been very zealous for the lord god almighty.
00:18:37.803 --> 00:18:39.037
For the lord god almighty. the israelites have
00:18:39.104 --> 00:18:40.005
The israelites have rejected your covenant,
00:18:40.072 --> 00:18:41.373
Rejected your covenant, and torn down your altars,
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.808
And torn down your altars, and put your prophets
00:18:42.875 --> 00:18:43.942
And put your prophets to death with the sword.

To death with the sword. i'm the only one left."
00:18:45.244 --> 00:18:46.979
I'm the only one left." he's still in the loop,
00:18:47.045 --> 00:18:48.814

>> the mission
00:24:16.174 --> 00:24:16.875
Of steven furtick ministries
00:24:17.008 --> 00:24:17.609
Has always been getting god's
00:24:17.742 --> 00:24:19.277
Word into people's hearts.
00:24:19.411 --> 00:24:21.713
In 2022,
00:24:21.847 --> 00:24:22.848
We launched our prison ministry
00:24:22.981 --> 00:24:24.282
And god has been moving.
00:24:24.416 --> 00:24:26.084
Today, our volunteers bring
00:24:26.218 --> 00:24:27.285
Church to 14 facilities
00:24:27.419 --> 00:24:28.753
Nationwide and reach thousands
00:24:28.887 --> 00:24:30.388
More online through
00:24:30.522 --> 00:24:31.523
Outreach partners
00:24:31.656 --> 00:24:32.324
And an app called pando.
00:24:32.457 --> 00:24:34.226
We've seen over 700 baptisms,
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:36.595
Over 3,000 decisions for
00:24:36.728 --> 00:24:37.128
Christ,
00:24:37.262 --> 00:24:39.698
And we're believing that we
00:24:39.831 --> 00:24:40.298
Will
00:24:40.432 --> 00:24:42.000
Have a consistent presence in
00:24:42.133 --> 00:24:43.301
20 prisons by the end of 2026,
00:24:43.435 --> 00:24:45.437
Because we know that no place
00:24:45.570 --> 00:24:47.539
Is out of reach
00:24:47.672 --> 00:24:48.139
