- That i can be under attack and not anxious.
- 00:00:22.341 --> 00:00:24.410

- After code orange revival, i felt like i went under
- 00:00:35.921 --> 00:00:36.655
- I felt like i went under an emotional attack,
- 00:00:36.722 --> 00:00:37.756
- An emotional attack, and i don't even know
- 00:00:37.823 --> 00:00:38.424
- And i don't even know that i'm still out of it yet.
- 00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:41.693
- That i'm still out of it yet. part of it is probably
- 00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:42.561
- Part of it is probably because of adrenaline
- 00:00:42.628 --> 00:00:43.629
- Because of adrenaline and physiological factors
- 00:00:43.695 --> 00:00:45.030
- And physiological factors that have to do with getting up
- 00:00:45.097 --> 00:00:45.931
- That have to do with getting up ten nights in a row,
- 00:00:45.998 --> 00:00:47.399
- Ten nights in a row, and all of the hosting,
- 00:00:47.466 --> 00:00:48.901
- And all of the hosting, of trying to put up with guests
- 00:00:48.967 --> 00:00:49.868
- Of trying to put up with guests for ten nights
- 00:00:49.935 --> 00:00:50.502
- For ten nights and making them feel special.
- 00:00:50.569 --> 00:00:52.004
- And making them feel special. [laughter]
- 00:00:52.071 --> 00:00:56.875
- [laughter] part of it though
- 00:00:56.942 --> 00:00:57.643
- Part of it though had to be spiritual,
- 00:00:57.709 --> 00:00:58.944
- Had to be spiritual, and it was like,
- 00:00:59.011 --> 00:01:02.514
- And it was like, for ten nights,
- 00:01:02.581 --> 00:01:03.182
- For ten nights, if you weren't here
- 00:01:03.248 --> 00:01:03.749
- If you weren't here in our church,
- 00:01:03.816 --> 00:01:04.616
- In our church, you know, you basically
- 00:01:04.683 --> 00:01:05.317
- You know, you basically missed out on life
- 00:01:05.384 --> 00:01:06.118
- Missed out on life by not coming
- 00:01:06.185 --> 00:01:07.219
- By not coming to code orange revival.
- 00:01:07.286 --> 00:01:11.757
- To code orange revival. but, not only did our city
- 00:01:11.824 --> 00:01:12.724
- But, not only did our city go through a shaking
- 00:01:12.791 --> 00:01:13.492
- Go through a shaking after the revival,
- 00:01:13.559 --> 00:01:14.526
- After the revival, i went through a shaking,
- 00:01:14.593 --> 00:01:15.527
- I went through a shaking, and i don't want to get up here
- 00:01:15.594 --> 00:01:16.595

- 00:01:16.662 --> 00:01:16.995
- And use you for a counseling appointment,
- 00:01:17.062 --> 00:01:17.796
- For a counseling appointment, because i don't want
- 00:01:17.863 --> 00:01:18.397
- Because i don't want to have to pay your hourly fee
- 00:01:18.464 --> 00:01:19.798
- To have to pay your hourly fee or anything like that.
- 00:01:19.865 --> 00:01:21.900

- Don't send me these e-mails, we're praying for you, pastor.
- 00:01:28.507 --> 00:01:29.408
- We're praying for you, pastor. that's not the reason
- 00:01:29.475 --> 00:01:29.942
- That's not the reason i'm telling you this,
- 00:01:30.008 --> 00:01:30.742
- I'm telling you this, and it'll make me feel like
- 00:01:30.809 --> 00:01:31.543
- And it'll make me feel like you missed the point
- 00:01:31.610 --> 00:01:32.044
- You missed the point if you send me an e-mail.
- 00:01:32.111 --> 00:01:32.878
- If you send me an e-mail. i don't want no card,
- 00:01:32.945 --> 00:01:33.512
- I don't want no card, or anything like that.

- Or anything like that. flowers, cookies,
- 00:01:34.580 --> 00:01:35.280
- Flowers, cookies, trying to get me fat
- 00:01:35.347 --> 00:01:36.115
- Trying to get me fat on carbohydrates
- 00:01:36.181 --> 00:01:36.849
- On carbohydrates because you think
- 00:01:36.915 --> 00:01:37.249
- Because you think i'm struggling.
- 00:01:37.316 --> 00:01:37.749
- I'm struggling. i don't want any of that.
- 00:01:37.816 --> 00:01:38.550
- I don't want any of that. i don't need any of that.
- 00:01:38.617 --> 00:01:39.384
- I don't need any of that. i just want
- 00:01:39.451 --> 00:01:39.785
- I just want to tell you something.
- 00:01:39.852 --> 00:01:41.320
- To tell you something. while we were in here
- 00:01:41.386 --> 00:01:43.255
- While we were in here talking about ten nights,
- 00:01:43.322 --> 00:01:45.324
- Talking about ten nights, ten years,
- 00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:46.091
- Ten years, celebrating ten years,
- 00:01:46.158 --> 00:01:48.127
- Celebrating ten years, i felt overwhelmed about,
- 00:01:48.193 --> 00:01:50.329
- I felt overwhelmed about, do i have what it takes
- 00:01:50.395 --> 00:01:51.396
- Do i have what it takes for the next ten?
- 00:01:51.463 --> 00:01:53.765
- For the next ten? and it's like, once you've gone
- 00:01:53.832 --> 00:01:54.967
- And it's like, once you've gone real high with god,
- 00:01:55.033 --> 00:01:57.736
- Real high with god, as a leader i think you feel
- 00:01:57.803 --> 00:01:59.138
- As a leader i think you feel a pressure to go higher.
- 00:01:59.204 --> 00:02:02.207
- A pressure to go higher. but then it's kind of hard,
- 00:02:02.274 --> 00:02:03.342
- But then it's kind of hard, because you feel like
- 00:02:03.408 --> 00:02:05.210
- Because you feel like maybe you've gone
- 00:02:05.277 --> 00:02:06.345
- Maybe you've gone as high as you can go.
- 00:02:06.411 --> 00:02:08.547
- As high as you can go. and maybe you feel
- 00:02:08.614 --> 00:02:09.081
- And maybe you feel that way as a parent,
- 00:02:09.148 --> 00:02:09.882
- That way as a parent, not as a preacher.
- 00:02:09.948 --> 00:02:10.649
- Not as a preacher. maybe you feel that way
- 00:02:10.716 --> 00:02:11.350
- Maybe you feel that way in your business,
- 00:02:11.416 --> 00:02:12.084
- In your business, and i don't know
- 00:02:12.151 --> 00:02:13.152
- And i don't know who i'm preaching to,
- 00:02:13.218 --> 00:02:14.019
- Who i'm preaching to, but i'm going to open myself
- 00:02:14.086 --> 00:02:14.853
- But i'm going to open myself up here a little bit
- 00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:15.654
- Up here a little bit for you today,
- 00:02:15.721 --> 00:02:16.455
- For you today, if it'll be helpful,
- 00:02:16.522 --> 00:02:17.489
- If it'll be helpful, because anxiety attacked me
- 00:02:17.556 --> 00:02:20.392
- Because anxiety attacked me and it hit me kind of hard.
- 00:02:20.459 --> 00:02:21.260
- And it hit me kind of hard. and i wasn't staying in the bed
- 00:02:21.326 --> 00:02:22.327
- And i wasn't staying in the bed or anything like that, but --
- 00:02:22.394 --> 00:02:23.729
- Or anything like that, but -- i didn't go get addicted
- 00:02:23.795 --> 00:02:25.197
- I didn't go get addicted to something,
- 00:02:25.264 --> 00:02:25.964
- To something, some kind of pills
- 00:02:26.031 --> 00:02:26.865
- Some kind of pills or anything like that.
- 00:02:26.932 --> 00:02:27.733
- Or anything like that. but it was a thing in my mind.
- 00:02:27.799 --> 00:02:30.569
- But it was a thing in my mind. you don't have what it takes.
- 00:02:30.636 --> 00:02:31.904
- You don't have what it takes. i don't have what it takes.
- 00:02:31.970 --> 00:02:33.238
- I don't have what it takes. you know, that's as far as
- 00:02:33.305 --> 00:02:35.641
- You know, that's as far as i can take them.
- 00:02:35.707 --> 00:02:36.241
- I can take them. i don't know if i'm the one
- 00:02:36.308 --> 00:02:37.376
- I don't know if i'm the one to do it,
- 00:02:37.442 --> 00:02:38.243
- To do it, and all of this stuff
- 00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:39.144
- And all of this stuff that was going through my mind.
- 00:02:39.211 --> 00:02:41.647
- That was going through my mind. that's how i got over
- 00:02:41.713 --> 00:02:42.548
- That's how i got over to 1 peter 5,
- 00:02:42.614 --> 00:02:43.949
- To 1 peter 5, because i know that scripture,
- 00:02:44.016 --> 00:02:45.050
- Because i know that scripture, i love that scripture.
- 00:02:45.117 --> 00:02:46.785
- I love that scripture. that scripture
- 00:02:46.852 --> 00:02:47.152
- That scripture has helped me before,
- 00:02:47.219 --> 00:02:47.853
- Has helped me before, and sometimes when you are up
- 00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:49.354
- And sometimes when you are up against a fight,
- 00:02:49.421 --> 00:02:49.988
- Against a fight, you've got to go back
- 00:02:50.055 --> 00:02:50.589
- You've got to go back to a weapon that you know.
- 00:02:50.656 --> 00:02:51.990
- To a weapon that you know. i can't fight goliath
- 00:02:52.057 --> 00:02:52.858
- I can't fight goliath in this armor.
- 00:02:52.925 --> 00:02:53.525
- In this armor. i've got to get a slingshot.
- 00:02:53.592 --> 00:02:54.660
- I've got to get a slingshot. so, it was kind of like
- 00:02:54.726 --> 00:02:56.628
- So, it was kind of like just a well-known verse,
- 00:02:56.695 --> 00:02:57.930
- Just a well-known verse, and i went back in there
- 00:02:57.996 --> 00:02:58.764
- And i went back in there and considered
- 00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:00.232
- And considered the context of peter,
- 00:03:00.299 --> 00:03:02.501
- The context of peter, who fell asleep
- 00:03:02.568 --> 00:03:03.068
- Who fell asleep in the garden of gethsemane,
- 00:03:03.135 --> 00:03:05.170
- In the garden of gethsemane, while he was supposed to be
- 00:03:05.237 --> 00:03:05.938
- While he was supposed to be watching jesus' back.
- 00:03:06.004 --> 00:03:08.307
- Watching jesus' back. and jesus came over to him,
- 00:03:08.373 --> 00:03:09.308
- And jesus came over to him, gave him two wake up calls.
- 00:03:09.374 --> 00:03:11.143
- Gave him two wake up calls. he hit the snooze button
- 00:03:11.210 --> 00:03:12.110
- He hit the snooze button three times.
- 00:03:12.177 --> 00:03:13.979
- Three times. are you still sleeping?
- 00:03:14.046 --> 00:03:16.415
- Are you still sleeping? and i looked at how peter
- 00:03:16.481 --> 00:03:17.416
- And i looked at how peter was telling the church
- 00:03:17.482 --> 00:03:18.350
- Was telling the church to be alert,
- 00:03:18.417 --> 00:03:20.252
- To be alert, which is translated elsewhere
- 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.153
- Which is translated elsewhere in the new testament,
- 00:03:21.220 --> 00:03:21.787
- In the new testament, be prayerful.
- 00:03:21.853 --> 00:03:24.356
- Be prayerful. the enemy eats christians
- 00:03:24.423 --> 00:03:25.958
- The enemy eats christians who sleep in times of battle.
- 00:03:26.024 --> 00:03:30.062
- Who sleep in times of battle. be alert to what's going on.
- 00:03:30.128 --> 00:03:31.396
- Be alert to what's going on. realize that the birthmark
- 00:03:31.463 --> 00:03:33.398
- Realize that the birthmark of a believer is a bull's eye,
- 00:03:33.465 --> 00:03:35.667
- Of a believer is a bull's eye, that the devil
- 00:03:35.734 --> 00:03:36.235
- That the devil doesn't like it one bit,
- 00:03:36.301 --> 00:03:37.669
- Doesn't like it one bit, that you're moving forward
- 00:03:37.736 --> 00:03:38.503
- That you're moving forward in your relationship with god.
- 00:03:38.570 --> 00:03:42.107
- In your relationship with god. i started taking
- 00:03:42.174 --> 00:03:42.674
- I started taking the verse apart,
- 00:03:42.741 --> 00:03:43.675
- The verse apart, because the word of god
- 00:03:43.742 --> 00:03:45.010
- Because the word of god really is what i live by,
- 00:03:45.077 --> 00:03:46.478
- Really is what i live by, not just what i make
- 00:03:46.545 --> 00:03:47.145
- Not just what i make my living off of.
- 00:03:47.212 --> 00:03:50.282
- My living off of. so, i went into verse 7
- 00:03:50.349 --> 00:03:51.016
- So, i went into verse 7 real hard, like i needed
- 00:03:51.083 --> 00:03:52.017
- Real hard, like i needed an answer.
- 00:03:52.084 --> 00:03:54.953
- An answer. when anxiety attacks,
- 00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:55.587
- When anxiety attacks, it'll drive you to seek god,
- 00:03:55.654 --> 00:03:59.391
- It'll drive you to seek god, to seek his hand.
- 00:03:59.458 --> 00:04:01.660
- To seek his hand. and i was looking for him,
- 00:04:01.727 --> 00:04:02.728
- And i was looking for him, because he said,
- 00:04:02.794 --> 00:04:03.328
- Because he said, "cast all of your anxiety".
- 00:04:03.395 --> 00:04:05.163
- "cast all of your anxiety". while i was reading it,
- 00:04:05.230 --> 00:04:06.698
- While i was reading it, since i knew peter wrote it
- 00:04:06.765 --> 00:04:08.233
- Since i knew peter wrote it and he's a fisherman,
- 00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:09.001
- And he's a fisherman, i wondered was he picturing,
- 00:04:09.067 --> 00:04:10.102
- I wondered was he picturing, like casting the nets
- 00:04:10.168 --> 00:04:12.471
- Like casting the nets from one side of the boat
- 00:04:12.537 --> 00:04:13.372
- From one side of the boat to the other,
- 00:04:13.438 --> 00:04:14.072
- To the other, just because jesus
- 00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:14.840
- Just because jesus told him to?
- 00:04:14.906 --> 00:04:16.642
- Told him to? sometimes anxiety in our life
- 00:04:16.708 --> 00:04:18.443
- Sometimes anxiety in our life is a result of our unwillingness
- 00:04:18.510 --> 00:04:19.911
- Is a result of our unwillingness to be obedient.
- 00:04:19.978 --> 00:04:21.980
- To be obedient. and when he cast the net
- 00:04:22.047 --> 00:04:23.282
- And when he cast the net to the other side,
- 00:04:23.348 --> 00:04:25.317
- To the other side, maybe that's a word
- 00:04:25.384 --> 00:04:25.984
- Maybe that's a word for somebody.
- 00:04:26.051 --> 00:04:26.785
- For somebody. he said, "cast all of your
- 00:04:26.852 --> 00:04:28.053
- He said, "cast all of your anxiety on him".
- 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:29.921
- Anxiety on him". do it his way now.
- 00:04:29.988 --> 00:04:31.790
- Do it his way now. "we fished all night
- 00:04:31.857 --> 00:04:32.791
- "we fished all night and caught nothing,"
- 00:04:32.858 --> 00:04:33.759
- And caught nothing," peter said,
- 00:04:33.825 --> 00:04:34.693
- Peter said, "but because you say so,
- 00:04:34.760 --> 00:04:36.061
- "but because you say so, i'm going to cast my net
- 00:04:36.128 --> 00:04:37.462
- I'm going to cast my net on the other side."
- 00:04:37.529 --> 00:04:38.897
- On the other side." i've been trying
- 00:04:38.964 --> 00:04:39.431
- I've been trying to do this my way.
- 00:04:39.498 --> 00:04:40.899
- To do this my way. i've been trying
- 00:04:40.966 --> 00:04:41.867
- I've been trying to handle it on my own.
- 00:04:41.933 --> 00:04:43.368
- To handle it on my own. but i'm going to cast my net
- 00:04:43.435 --> 00:04:44.803
- But i'm going to cast my net on the other side.
- 00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:48.674
- On the other side. however, it was in verse 5 and 6
- 00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:50.575
- However, it was in verse 5 and 6 that i found my answer.
- 00:04:50.642 --> 00:04:54.379
- That i found my answer. for in verse 5, he says,
- 00:04:54.446 --> 00:04:55.781
- For in verse 5, he says, "in the same way,
- 00:04:55.847 --> 00:04:57.182
- "in the same way, you who are younger,
- 00:04:57.249 --> 00:04:57.949
- You who are younger, submit yourselves
- 00:04:58.016 --> 00:04:58.884
- Submit yourselves to your elders,
- 00:04:58.950 --> 00:04:59.351
- To your elders, all of you clothed..."
- 00:04:59.418 --> 00:05:01.153
- All of you clothed..." greek word, tie on.
- 00:05:01.219 --> 00:05:03.355
- Greek word, tie on. tie on.
- 00:05:03.422 --> 00:05:03.889
- Tie on. that's not the greek,
- 00:05:03.955 --> 00:05:04.589
- That's not the greek, that's the translation
- 00:05:04.656 --> 00:05:05.223
- That's the translation of the greek word.
- 00:05:05.290 --> 00:05:06.158
- Of the greek word. tie it on, like a towel,
- 00:05:06.224 --> 00:05:10.395
- Tie it on, like a towel, like jesus did when he took
- 00:05:10.462 --> 00:05:13.265
- Like jesus did when he took on the role of a servant,
- 00:05:13.332 --> 00:05:15.634
- On the role of a servant, and he got a towel,
- 00:05:15.701 --> 00:05:16.468
- And he got a towel, a servant's towel,
- 00:05:16.535 --> 00:05:17.235
- A servant's towel, and he put it around his waist.
- 00:05:17.302 --> 00:05:19.805
- And he put it around his waist. and when peter saw him tying
- 00:05:19.871 --> 00:05:20.806
- And when peter saw him tying on that towel, he said,
- 00:05:20.872 --> 00:05:22.140
- On that towel, he said, "no, you don't tie
- 00:05:22.207 --> 00:05:24.176
- "no, you don't tie on the towel, jesus.
- 00:05:24.242 --> 00:05:25.644
- On the towel, jesus. you sit on the throne."
- 00:05:25.711 --> 00:05:27.813
- You sit on the throne." but, jesus tied on the towel,
- 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:29.348
- But, jesus tied on the towel, and i wonder, as peter
- 00:05:29.414 --> 00:05:30.615
- And i wonder, as peter is telling them
- 00:05:30.682 --> 00:05:31.283
- Is telling them to clothe themselves
- 00:05:31.350 --> 00:05:32.551
- To clothe themselves in humility, is he having
- 00:05:32.617 --> 00:05:33.552
- In humility, is he having a flashback of the savior,
- 00:05:33.618 --> 00:05:37.255
- A flashback of the savior, who laid his riches
- 00:05:37.322 --> 00:05:38.156
- Who laid his riches and glory aside,
- 00:05:38.223 --> 00:05:40.492
- And glory aside, and made himself nothing,
- 00:05:40.559 --> 00:05:41.827
- And made himself nothing, found in the appearance
- 00:05:41.893 --> 00:05:42.561
- Found in the appearance of a sinful man
- 00:05:42.627 --> 00:05:43.495
- Of a sinful man and became a servant,
- 00:05:43.562 --> 00:05:44.496
- And became a servant, humbling himself,
- 00:05:44.563 --> 00:05:45.364
- Humbling himself, even to death on a cross,
- 00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:46.531
- Even to death on a cross, as he tied on the towel
- 00:05:46.598 --> 00:05:48.367
- As he tied on the towel and washed peter's feet.
- 00:05:48.433 --> 00:05:50.569
- And washed peter's feet. peter's response, "no, lord,
- 00:05:50.635 --> 00:05:51.770
- Peter's response, "no, lord, you can't wash my feet".
- 00:05:51.837 --> 00:05:53.205
- You can't wash my feet". and jesus said,
- 00:05:53.271 --> 00:05:55.140
- And jesus said, "peter, shut up".
- 00:05:55.207 --> 00:05:58.110
- "peter, shut up". that's not
- 00:05:58.176 --> 00:05:58.443
- That's not the exact conversation,
- 00:05:58.510 --> 00:05:59.678
- The exact conversation, but it's the essence of it.
- 00:05:59.745 --> 00:06:01.546
- But it's the essence of it. and he did what he came to do.
- 00:06:01.613 --> 00:06:02.881
- And he did what he came to do. this other man came
- 00:06:02.948 --> 00:06:04.950
- This other man came not to be served, but to serve,
- 00:06:05.016 --> 00:06:06.752
- Not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life
- 00:06:06.818 --> 00:06:07.452
- And to give his life a ransom for many.
- 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.057
- A ransom for many. but, maybe my biggest problem
- 00:06:12.124 --> 00:06:13.425
- But, maybe my biggest problem was the fact that i always
- 00:06:13.492 --> 00:06:16.661
- Was the fact that i always thought that verse 7,
- 00:06:16.728 --> 00:06:19.798
- Thought that verse 7, put it on the screen please,
- 00:06:19.865 --> 00:06:21.266
- Put it on the screen please, was the instruction
- 00:06:21.333 --> 00:06:22.167
- Was the instruction where he said,
- 00:06:22.234 --> 00:06:22.667
- Where he said, "cast all your cares on him,
- 00:06:22.734 --> 00:06:25.337
- "cast all your cares on him, because he cares for you."
- 00:06:25.404 --> 00:06:26.671
- Because he cares for you." your anxieties on him,
- 00:06:26.738 --> 00:06:27.939
- Your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
- 00:06:28.006 --> 00:06:31.243
- Because he cares for you. you know, you go to
- 00:06:31.309 --> 00:06:32.144
- You know, you go to the word of god sometimes
- 00:06:32.210 --> 00:06:33.245
- The word of god sometimes and you try to pluck up
- 00:06:33.311 --> 00:06:34.112
- And you try to pluck up these little promises.
- 00:06:34.179 --> 00:06:36.314
- These little promises. we try to do stuff and just --
- 00:06:36.381 --> 00:06:37.983
- We try to do stuff and just -- "i like that verse."
- 00:06:38.049 --> 00:06:40.318
- "i like that verse." that verse.
- 00:06:40.385 --> 00:06:43.855
- That verse. but, back up and catch
- 00:06:43.922 --> 00:06:47.926
- But, back up and catch the essence of the text.
- 00:06:47.993 --> 00:06:48.894
- The essence of the text. verse 6.
- 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:49.861
- Verse 6. "humble yourself therefore
- 00:06:49.928 --> 00:06:51.530
- "humble yourself therefore under god's mighty hand
- 00:06:51.596 --> 00:06:53.732
- Under god's mighty hand that he may lift you up
- 00:06:53.799 --> 00:06:54.633
- That he may lift you up in due time.
- 00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:56.501
- In due time. cast all your anxiety on him,

- To really understand the essence and profundity
- 00:07:00.906 --> 00:07:02.307
- The essence and profundity of the connection,
- 00:07:02.374 --> 00:07:04.009
- Of the connection, you need to see a more literal
- 00:07:04.075 --> 00:07:05.143
- You need to see a more literal translation of verses 6 and 7,
- 00:07:05.210 --> 00:07:08.480
- Translation of verses 6 and 7, because peter is writing
- 00:07:08.547 --> 00:07:09.414

- In verses 6 and 7, these are not
- 00:07:18.089 --> 00:07:18.423
- These are not two separate sentences.
- 00:07:18.490 --> 00:07:21.426
- Two separate sentences. it reads like this.

- To cast my anxieties, and keep my pride.

- And keep my pride. but the thing about it is,
- 00:08:12.644 --> 00:08:14.012
- But the thing about it is, you need to know that the pride

- For a little while, the lord spoke to me
- 00:09:29.354 --> 00:09:30.388
- The lord spoke to me in my heart.
- 00:09:30.455 --> 00:09:30.755
- In my heart. now, this is not

- 00:15:12.330 --> 00:15:15.833
- About humility than peter? huh?
- 00:15:15.900 --> 00:15:17.769
- Huh? he was sitting
- 00:15:17.835 --> 00:15:18.436
- He was sitting around the table, having dinner
- 00:15:18.503 --> 00:15:19.437
- Around the table, having dinner with jesus one time.
- 00:15:19.504 --> 00:15:21.506
- With jesus one time. jesus said, "all of you
- 00:15:21.572 --> 00:15:22.240
- Jesus said, "all of you are going to fall away."
- 00:15:22.307 --> 00:15:23.474
- Are going to fall away." look what peter said.
- 00:15:23.541 --> 00:15:24.375
- Look what peter said. what's that other verse
- 00:15:24.442 --> 00:15:25.243
- What's that other verse i gave you, mark 14?
- 00:15:25.310 --> 00:15:26.811
- I gave you, mark 14? i think i gave that to them
- 00:15:26.878 --> 00:15:27.879
- I think i gave that to them this morning, yeah.
- 00:15:27.946 --> 00:15:28.980
- This morning, yeah. because the lord
- 00:15:29.047 --> 00:15:29.380
- Because the lord was speaking to me.
- 00:15:29.447 --> 00:15:30.048
- Was speaking to me. i preached this message
- 00:15:30.114 --> 00:15:31.482
- I preached this message the one time before,
- 00:15:31.549 --> 00:15:32.383
- The one time before, but the lord was speaking to me
- 00:15:32.450 --> 00:15:33.318
- But the lord was speaking to me about it for this
- 00:15:33.384 --> 00:15:34.485
- About it for this particular group.
- 00:15:34.552 --> 00:15:37.455
- Particular group. and he reminded me
- 00:15:37.522 --> 00:15:38.389
- And he reminded me what peter said when jesus said,
- 00:15:38.456 --> 00:15:40.124
- What peter said when jesus said, "you know, you're all going
- 00:15:40.191 --> 00:15:41.159
- "you know, you're all going to hit rock bottom."
- 00:15:41.225 --> 00:15:43.328
- To hit rock bottom." because sometimes the only way
- 00:15:43.394 --> 00:15:44.696
- Because sometimes the only way for you to find your foundation
- 00:15:44.762 --> 00:15:46.731
- For you to find your foundation is to hit rock bottom.
- 00:15:46.798 --> 00:15:49.968
- Is to hit rock bottom. sometimes that's the best place
- 00:15:50.034 --> 00:15:51.436
- Sometimes that's the best place to build from.
- 00:15:51.502 --> 00:15:53.037
- To build from. sometimes that's the best place
- 00:15:53.104 --> 00:15:54.472
- Sometimes that's the best place to lead from.
- 00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:55.640
- To lead from. sometimes that's the best place
- 00:15:55.707 --> 00:15:57.308
- Sometimes that's the best place to be a better husband from,
- 00:15:57.375 --> 00:15:58.776
- To be a better husband from, is the place of,
- 00:15:58.843 --> 00:16:01.312
- Is the place of, "lord, save me."
- 00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:02.113
- "lord, save me." not "call me to come,
- 00:16:02.180 --> 00:16:03.414
- Not "call me to come, and i'll come,"
- 00:16:03.481 --> 00:16:04.148
- And i'll come," but "lord, save me,"
- 00:16:04.215 --> 00:16:05.383
- But "lord, save me," and then the hand of god
- 00:16:05.450 --> 00:16:06.517
- And then the hand of god gets involved.
- 00:16:06.584 --> 00:16:09.087
- Gets involved. but, peter didn't know this.
- 00:16:09.153 --> 00:16:12.056
- But, peter didn't know this. and so, he was sitting
- 00:16:12.123 --> 00:16:13.558
- And so, he was sitting around the table, and he says,
- 00:16:13.624 --> 00:16:16.027
- Around the table, and he says, "even if all fall away,
- 00:16:16.094 --> 00:16:18.863
- "even if all fall away, i will not."
- 00:16:18.930 --> 00:16:23.234
- I will not." i will not.
- 00:16:23.301 --> 00:16:27.672
- I will not. i will not.
- 00:16:27.739 --> 00:16:28.373
- I will not. jesus said, "before the rooster
- 00:16:28.439 --> 00:16:30.008
- Jesus said, "before the rooster even gets his second crow
- 00:16:30.074 --> 00:16:30.742
- Even gets his second crow out of his mouth,
- 00:16:30.808 --> 00:16:31.576
- Out of his mouth, you're going to be telling
- 00:16:31.642 --> 00:16:32.510
- You're going to be telling people you don't even know me."
- 00:16:32.577 --> 00:16:35.446
- People you don't even know me." and that's exactly
- 00:16:35.513 --> 00:16:35.980
- And that's exactly what happened.
- 00:16:36.047 --> 00:16:38.149
- What happened. and jesus warned peter
- 00:16:38.216 --> 00:16:39.350
- And jesus warned peter of the attack,
- 00:16:39.417 --> 00:16:39.851
- Of the attack, and sometimes we don't listen
- 00:16:39.917 --> 00:16:41.052
- And sometimes we don't listen and we don't hear,
- 00:16:41.119 --> 00:16:41.586
- And we don't hear, so we're surprised
- 00:16:41.652 --> 00:16:42.353
- So we're surprised when it comes, and we act like
- 00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:43.354
- When it comes, and we act like it's an ambush
- 00:16:43.421 --> 00:16:45.023
- It's an ambush when it's really normal.
- 00:16:45.089 --> 00:16:49.560
- When it's really normal. it's normal to be attacked.
- 00:16:49.627 --> 00:16:53.231
- It's normal to be attacked. it's normal.
- 00:16:53.297 --> 00:16:54.032
- It's normal. jesus told peter,
- 00:16:54.098 --> 00:16:56.234
- Jesus told peter, "satan has asked for all of you,
- 00:16:56.300 --> 00:16:58.936
- "satan has asked for all of you, and specifically,
- 00:16:59.003 --> 00:16:59.604
- And specifically, he's asked for you,
- 00:16:59.670 --> 00:17:01.105
- He's asked for you, to sift you as wheat,
- 00:17:01.172 --> 00:17:03.074
- To sift you as wheat, to sort out what's real
- 00:17:03.141 --> 00:17:04.075
- To sort out what's real from what's not real.
- 00:17:04.142 --> 00:17:06.377
- From what's not real. but i prayed for you, peter.
- 00:17:06.444 --> 00:17:08.579
- But i prayed for you, peter. i prayed for you, peter.
- 00:17:08.646 --> 00:17:12.984
- I prayed for you, peter. you're going to fail, peter,
- 00:17:13.051 --> 00:17:15.586
- You're going to fail, peter, but i'm not.
- 00:17:15.653 --> 00:17:18.790
- But i'm not. you are shaky at best, peter,
- 00:17:18.856 --> 00:17:21.993
- You are shaky at best, peter, but i am a solid rock
- 00:17:22.060 --> 00:17:24.295
- But i am a solid rock at the bottom of your failure.
- 00:17:24.362 --> 00:17:27.665
- At the bottom of your failure. i pray for you, peter."
- 00:17:27.732 --> 00:17:31.002
- I pray for you, peter." and now peter writes,
- 00:17:31.069 --> 00:17:32.870
- And now peter writes, decades later,
- 00:17:32.937 --> 00:17:34.505
- Decades later, to a church under attack.
- 00:17:34.572 --> 00:17:36.874
- To a church under attack. "humble yourself under
- 00:17:36.941 --> 00:17:37.642
- "humble yourself under the mighty hand of god,
- 00:17:37.708 --> 00:17:38.643
- The mighty hand of god, for your enemy, the devil."
- 00:17:38.709 --> 00:17:41.245
- For your enemy, the devil." what's he like?
- 00:17:41.312 --> 00:17:41.746
- What's he like? he's like a roaring lion.
- 00:17:41.813 --> 00:17:44.749
- He's like a roaring lion. he's looking for somebody
- 00:17:44.816 --> 00:17:45.583
- He's looking for somebody to devour.
- 00:17:45.650 --> 00:17:47.618
- To devour. he's looking for somebody
- 00:17:47.685 --> 00:17:48.586
- He's looking for somebody who he can shred to pieces
- 00:17:48.653 --> 00:17:49.787
- Who he can shred to pieces with doubt, and fear,
- 00:17:49.854 --> 00:17:53.124
- With doubt, and fear, and selfishness.
- 00:17:53.191 --> 00:17:53.891
- And selfishness. he's looking for somebody
- 00:17:53.958 --> 00:17:54.592
- He's looking for somebody that he can get to walk away,
- 00:17:54.659 --> 00:17:55.960
- That he can get to walk away, and as a pastor,
- 00:17:56.027 --> 00:17:58.629
- And as a pastor, i'm just sick of having to make
- 00:17:58.696 --> 00:17:59.730
- I'm just sick of having to make phone calls and visits
- 00:17:59.797 --> 00:18:00.798
- Phone calls and visits with people every week
- 00:18:00.865 --> 00:18:02.266
- With people every week who are being devoured
- 00:18:02.333 --> 00:18:03.434
- Who are being devoured by the enemy.
- 00:18:03.501 --> 00:18:06.771
- By the enemy. so, peter says this
- 00:18:06.838 --> 00:18:07.472
- So, peter says this is a time for resistance.
- 00:18:07.538 --> 00:18:11.242
- Is a time for resistance. this is not a time
- 00:18:11.309 --> 00:18:11.976
- This is not a time for you to run.
- 00:18:12.043 --> 00:18:13.144
- For you to run. this is a time for you
- 00:18:13.211 --> 00:18:13.978
- This is a time for you to resist.
- 00:18:14.045 --> 00:18:14.679
- To resist. yeah, but he's a lion!
- 00:18:14.745 --> 00:18:16.781
- Yeah, but he's a lion! okay, he is a lion,
- 00:18:16.848 --> 00:18:19.083
- Okay, he is a lion, and he might be
- 00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:19.784
- And he might be licking his lips,
- 00:18:19.851 --> 00:18:21.752
- Licking his lips, and his fangs might be sharp,
- 00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:24.555
- And his fangs might be sharp, and he might have you
- 00:18:24.622 --> 00:18:25.556
- And he might have you in his sight,
- 00:18:25.623 --> 00:18:27.125
- In his sight, and you might have failed,
- 00:18:27.191 --> 00:18:28.392
- And you might have failed, and you might have done it,
- 00:18:28.459 --> 00:18:29.393
- And you might have done it, and you might be going down!
- 00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:31.696
- And you might be going down! but you need to know
- 00:18:31.762 --> 00:18:32.730
- But you need to know one thing about this lion,
- 00:18:32.797 --> 00:18:34.465
- One thing about this lion, peter says, "is that after
- 00:18:34.532 --> 00:18:37.101
- Peter says, "is that after you have suffered
- 00:18:37.168 --> 00:18:37.935
- You have suffered a little while,
- 00:18:38.002 --> 00:18:39.203
- A little while, god himself will step in
- 00:18:39.270 --> 00:18:43.174
- God himself will step in and restore you,
- 00:18:43.241 --> 00:18:44.675
- And restore you, and make you strong!"
- 00:18:44.742 --> 00:18:48.546
- And make you strong!" he's a lion,
- 00:18:48.613 --> 00:18:50.982
- He's a lion, but the lion is on a leash!
- 00:18:51.048 --> 00:18:53.351
- But the lion is on a leash! he can only go so far!
- 00:18:53.417 --> 00:18:55.620
- He can only go so far! he can only do so much!
- 00:18:55.686 --> 00:18:58.256
- He can only do so much! he can't keep you down forever!
- 00:18:58.322 --> 00:19:00.725
- He can't keep you down forever! humble yourself
- 00:19:00.791 --> 00:19:02.026
- Humble yourself under the hand of god
- 00:19:02.093 --> 00:19:03.561
- Under the hand of god and in due time.
- 00:19:03.628 --> 00:19:06.397
- And in due time. come on,
- 00:19:06.464 --> 00:19:06.864
- Come on, this is somebody's due time!
- 00:19:06.931 --> 00:19:08.933
- This is somebody's due time! this is it!
- 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:10.034
- This is it! anxiety stops here!
- 00:19:10.101 --> 00:19:11.936
- Anxiety stops here! depression stops here!
- 00:19:12.003 --> 00:19:14.138
- Depression stops here! fear stops here!
- 00:19:14.205 --> 00:19:16.240
- Fear stops here! in due time,
- 00:19:16.307 --> 00:19:17.842
- In due time, he will lift you up!
- 00:19:17.909 --> 00:19:25.683
- He will lift you up! i feel the hand of god
- 00:19:25.750 --> 00:19:26.651
- I feel the hand of god reaching down
- 00:19:26.717 --> 00:19:27.251
- Reaching down for somebody today.
- 00:19:27.318 --> 00:19:29.220
- For somebody today. you've been going down.
- 00:19:29.287 --> 00:19:30.454
- You've been going down. if it's you, lift your hand.
- 00:19:30.521 --> 00:19:32.123
- If it's you, lift your hand. if it's you, lift your hand.
- 00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:33.457
- If it's you, lift your hand. if this message
- 00:19:33.524 --> 00:19:33.991
- If this message was straight to you,
- 00:19:34.058 --> 00:19:35.092
- Was straight to you, stand up on your feet,
- 00:19:35.159 --> 00:19:36.494
- Stand up on your feet, lift both your hands
- 00:19:36.561 --> 00:19:37.395
- Lift both your hands in the air.
- 00:19:37.461 --> 00:19:38.496
- In the air. if this message
- 00:19:38.563 --> 00:19:39.197
- If this message was straight to you,
- 00:19:39.263 --> 00:19:40.731
- Was straight to you, straight to you,
- 00:19:40.798 --> 00:19:41.766
- Straight to you, straight to your heart,
- 00:19:41.832 --> 00:19:42.800
- Straight to your heart, straight to what you've been
- 00:19:42.867 --> 00:19:43.834
- Straight to what you've been dealing with,
- 00:19:43.901 --> 00:19:44.936
- Dealing with, straight to the battle
- 00:19:45.002 --> 00:19:46.137
- Straight to the battle you've been fighting,
- 00:19:46.204 --> 00:19:46.938
- You've been fighting, lift your hands.
- 00:19:47.004 --> 00:19:47.939
- Lift your hands. god, we thank you
- 00:19:48.005 --> 00:19:49.073
- God, we thank you for your hand of favor,
- 00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:50.808
- For your hand of favor, your hand of provision,
- 00:19:50.875 --> 00:19:52.443
- Your hand of provision, your hand of protection,
- 00:19:52.510 --> 00:19:54.045
- Your hand of protection, your hand of power,
- 00:19:54.111 --> 00:19:55.813
- Your hand of power, your hand of purpose.
- 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.448
- Your hand of purpose. we humble ourselves
- 00:19:57.515 --> 00:19:58.616
- We humble ourselves under your hand today.
- 00:19:58.683 --> 00:20:00.218
- Under your hand today. we know that the lion is loud,
- 00:20:00.284 --> 00:20:02.119
- We know that the lion is loud, but we know that the suffering
- 00:20:02.186 --> 00:20:03.421
- But we know that the suffering won't last long.
- 00:20:03.487 --> 00:20:04.555
- Won't last long. it is not worthy to be compared
- 00:20:04.622 --> 00:20:06.190
- It is not worthy to be compared with the glory
- 00:20:06.257 --> 00:20:07.091
- With the glory that will be revealed to us,
- 00:20:07.158 --> 00:20:09.026
- That will be revealed to us, so we look at it
- 00:20:09.093 --> 00:20:09.860
- So we look at it in the face today,
- 00:20:09.927 --> 00:20:10.761
- In the face today, and we declare
- 00:20:10.828 --> 00:20:11.963
- And we declare the name of jesus is greater,
- 00:20:12.029 --> 00:20:14.565
- The name of jesus is greater, the name of jesus is higher.
- 00:20:14.632 --> 00:20:17.201
- The name of jesus is higher. you have all power
- 00:20:17.268 --> 00:20:18.236
- You have all power in your hand,
- 00:20:18.302 --> 00:20:19.437
- In your hand, all authority in heaven
- 00:20:19.503 --> 00:20:21.105
- All authority in heaven and in earth
- 00:20:21.172 --> 00:20:21.872
- And in earth has been given to you.
- 00:20:21.939 --> 00:20:23.374
