Nine out of ten ministers i heard one time don't...
00:03:29.361 --> 00:03:30.562
I heard one time don't... and the person said to me,
00:03:30.629 --> 00:03:32.331
And the person said to me, in a counseling session,

In a counseling session, "hmm, you may not,

Now, some people would call that being negative.
00:03:43.742 --> 00:03:48.513
Would call that being negative. when peter said,
00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:50.148
When peter said, "never lord,
00:03:50.215 --> 00:03:52.251
"never lord, i will never deny you."
00:03:52.317 --> 00:03:55.554

Was the first one that did? when you say never,
00:04:00.859 --> 00:04:01.526
When you say never, you know,
00:04:01.593 --> 00:04:03.161
You know, "nahh, i'll never.

No, i mean i would never deal with that."
00:04:05.897 --> 00:04:07.466
I would never deal with that." i think it's crazy,
00:04:07.532 --> 00:04:08.934
I think it's crazy, god will give people
00:04:09.001 --> 00:04:09.968
God will give people the word that they need
00:04:10.035 --> 00:04:11.703
The word that they need for something that they're about
00:04:11.770 --> 00:04:12.504
For something that they're about to go into
00:04:12.571 --> 00:04:12.938
To go into and they won't even
00:04:13.005 --> 00:04:13.438
And they won't even write it down
00:04:13.505 --> 00:04:14.006
Write it down or listen to it.
00:04:14.072 --> 00:04:16.341
Or listen to it. 'cause they don't know
00:04:16.408 --> 00:04:16.875
'cause they don't know they're gonna need it.
00:04:16.942 --> 00:04:18.610
They're gonna need it. 'cause god,
00:04:18.677 --> 00:04:19.511
'cause god, god is giving you
00:04:19.578 --> 00:04:21.146
God is giving you what you're going to need
00:04:21.213 --> 00:04:23.815
What you're going to need for where he knows
00:04:23.882 --> 00:04:24.516
For where he knows you're going to be.
00:04:24.583 --> 00:04:26.485

Right here right now in this season,
00:04:29.187 --> 00:04:29.955
In this season, if it doesn't say exactly
00:04:30.022 --> 00:04:31.256
If it doesn't say exactly what i want it to say right now,
00:04:31.323 --> 00:04:35.460
What i want it to say right now, you might need this.
00:04:35.527 --> 00:04:37.896
You might need this. you might need it thursday,
00:04:37.963 --> 00:04:40.399
You might need it thursday, you might need it
00:04:40.465 --> 00:04:40.999
You might need it in three years,
00:04:41.066 --> 00:04:42.801
In three years, you might need it
00:04:42.868 --> 00:04:43.335
You might need it for somebody else.
00:04:43.402 --> 00:04:44.536
For somebody else. it might not even
00:04:44.603 --> 00:04:45.404
It might not even be for you.
00:04:45.470 --> 00:04:48.540
Be for you. i don't know what peter
00:04:48.607 --> 00:04:49.308
I don't know what peter was praying about
00:04:49.374 --> 00:04:50.275
Was praying about on the roof in acts 10,
00:04:50.342 --> 00:04:51.476
On the roof in acts 10, but i don't think he
00:04:51.543 --> 00:04:52.110
But i don't think he was praying for cornelius
00:04:52.177 --> 00:04:53.512
Was praying for cornelius 'cause he didn't even
00:04:53.578 --> 00:04:54.146
'cause he didn't even know who he was.
00:04:54.212 --> 00:04:56.315
Know who he was. and yet, god answered a prayer
00:04:56.381 --> 00:04:58.984
And yet, god answered a prayer that peter wasn't
00:04:59.051 --> 00:04:59.818
That peter wasn't even praying.
00:04:59.885 --> 00:05:01.486
Even praying. by sending something
00:05:01.553 --> 00:05:02.454
By sending something to the gate
00:05:02.521 --> 00:05:03.355
To the gate that peter didn't
00:05:03.422 --> 00:05:03.989
That peter didn't even ask for.
00:05:04.056 --> 00:05:06.892
Even ask for. and so, it left me wondering
00:05:06.958 --> 00:05:09.027
And so, it left me wondering as i preach today,
00:05:09.094 --> 00:05:09.995

So i can say this, "it's at the gate."
00:05:20.205 --> 00:05:25.410
"it's at the gate." this delegation,
00:05:25.477 --> 00:05:26.178
This delegation, put that in the chat would you?

And then you can touch somebody if you're in the room,
00:05:33.151 --> 00:05:33.719
If you're in the room, say, "it's at the gate.
00:05:33.785 --> 00:05:34.853
Say, "it's at the gate. it's at the gate.
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:35.620
It's at the gate. it's at the gate.

It's at the gate. it's at the gate."
00:05:36.521 --> 00:05:38.857
It's at the gate." now, cornelius is 30 miles
00:05:38.924 --> 00:05:43.729
Away from joppa,
00:05:43.829 --> 00:05:46.965
Away from joppa, he sent a delegation,
00:05:47.032 --> 00:05:49.301
He sent a delegation, it takes them almost
00:05:49.368 --> 00:05:50.969

"i don't even know who peter is,
00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:02.547
Who peter is, but he's gonna need to
00:06:02.614 --> 00:06:03.215
But he's gonna need to get back in a hurry."
00:06:03.281 --> 00:06:06.885
Get back in a hurry." were you paying attention
00:06:06.952 --> 00:06:07.686
Were you paying attention when i read,
00:06:07.753 --> 00:06:08.253
When i read, or were you still
00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:08.820
Or were you still kinda like, drowsy?
00:06:08.887 --> 00:06:12.724
Kinda like, drowsy? god told cornelius where to
00:06:12.791 --> 00:06:14.793
God told cornelius where to get peter but he didn't
00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:15.927
Get peter but he didn't tell him why.
00:06:15.994 --> 00:06:20.665
Tell him why. you know, the story ends
00:06:20.732 --> 00:06:21.500
You know, the story ends pretty cool
00:06:21.566 --> 00:06:22.601
Pretty cool i didn't get all
00:06:22.667 --> 00:06:23.135
I didn't get all the way there,
00:06:23.201 --> 00:06:23.668
The way there, but --
00:06:23.735 --> 00:06:24.903
But -- and i'm not closing my sermon
00:06:24.970 --> 00:06:25.871
And i'm not closing my sermon either but let's skip
00:06:25.937 --> 00:06:26.772
Either but let's skip to the end for a minute.
00:06:26.838 --> 00:06:28.740
To the end for a minute. he said, "go send for peter."
00:06:28.807 --> 00:06:32.043
He said, "go send for peter." and when peter got there
00:06:32.110 --> 00:06:34.279
And when peter got there to caesarea,
00:06:34.346 --> 00:06:35.347
To caesarea, 30 miles away,
00:06:35.414 --> 00:06:37.983
30 miles away, there was a crowd waiting
00:06:38.049 --> 00:06:38.817
There was a crowd waiting to hear the message of jesus,
00:06:38.884 --> 00:06:40.352
To hear the message of jesus, and peter preached.
00:06:40.419 --> 00:06:43.021
And peter preached. i gotta show this verse,
00:06:43.088 --> 00:06:44.156
I gotta show this verse, it's acts 10:34.
00:06:44.222 --> 00:06:45.924
It's acts 10:34. "when he got there
00:06:45.991 --> 00:06:46.725
"when he got there he began to speak:
00:06:46.792 --> 00:06:48.627
He began to speak: and he said:
00:06:48.693 --> 00:06:50.195
And he said: 'i now,"
00:06:50.262 --> 00:06:56.101
'i now," ld --
00:06:56.168 --> 00:06:58.136
Ld -- hold him down will,
00:06:58.203 --> 00:06:59.171
Hold him down will, he can't handle it.
00:06:59.237 --> 00:07:01.039
He can't handle it. "i now realize,"
00:07:01.106 --> 00:07:04.476
"i now realize," in verse 34
00:07:04.543 --> 00:07:06.845
In verse 34 because i obeyed in verse 19.
00:07:06.912 --> 00:07:12.217
Because i obeyed in verse 19. "i now realize how true."
00:07:12.284 --> 00:07:17.022
"i now realize how true." so, you don't know the truth
00:07:17.088 --> 00:07:19.658
So, you don't know the truth until you obey the word.
00:07:19.724 --> 00:07:22.194
Until you obey the word. [applause]
00:07:22.260 --> 00:07:25.263

That at one time i never thought possible.
00:07:57.429 --> 00:07:58.597
Thought possible. so, i'm preaching to you,
00:07:58.663 --> 00:07:59.664

00:10:29.114 --> 00:10:29.648
I don't know if i broke it down good enough,
00:10:29.714 --> 00:10:31.216
I broke it down good enough, he wasn't trying
00:10:31.282 --> 00:10:31.850
He wasn't trying to get peter ready
00:10:31.916 --> 00:10:32.751
To get peter ready for a barbeque downstairs.
00:10:32.817 --> 00:10:35.754
For a barbeque downstairs. that's not how
00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:36.187
That's not how the verse ends.
00:10:36.254 --> 00:10:36.888
The verse ends. yow, holly is so carnal,
00:10:36.955 --> 00:10:38.256
Yow, holly is so carnal, all she thinks about is
00:10:38.323 --> 00:10:39.724
All she thinks about is "when is the next meal?"
00:10:39.791 --> 00:10:41.192
"when is the next meal?" is that true?
00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:42.560
Is that true? we'll be watching a show
00:10:42.627 --> 00:10:43.595
We'll be watching a show and then it'll be
00:10:43.662 --> 00:10:44.129
And then it'll be like a shootout,
00:10:44.195 --> 00:10:44.863
Like a shootout, and there will be
00:10:44.929 --> 00:10:45.563
Bullets flying
00:10:45.664 --> 00:10:46.564
Bullets flying and people flying everywhere --
00:10:46.631 --> 00:10:47.832
And people flying everywhere -- christian, gangster
00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:48.733
Christian, gangster movies obviously.
00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:49.868
Movies obviously. [laughter]
00:10:49.934 --> 00:10:50.969
[laughter] and then there'd be all
00:10:51.036 --> 00:10:52.570
And then there'd be all this chaos,
00:10:52.637 --> 00:10:53.705
This chaos, and she'll look at me
00:10:53.772 --> 00:10:54.639
And she'll look at me and she'll go,
00:10:54.706 --> 00:10:56.074
And she'll go, "when did they eat?"
00:10:56.141 --> 00:10:57.308
"when did they eat?" [laughter]
00:10:57.375 --> 00:11:00.078
And i'll be like,
00:11:00.178 --> 00:11:00.645
And i'll be like, "holly, it's a heist.
00:11:00.712 --> 00:11:02.180
"holly, it's a heist. it's a --
00:11:02.247 --> 00:11:02.981
It's a -- this is not."
00:11:03.048 --> 00:11:03.748
This is not." that's the first thing
00:11:03.815 --> 00:11:04.816
That's the first thing she looks for.
00:11:04.883 --> 00:11:05.283
She looks for. and you know what?
00:11:05.350 --> 00:11:06.084
And you know what? you're gonna hate acts 10 babe,
00:11:06.151 --> 00:11:07.452
You're gonna hate acts 10 babe, 'cause it doesn't even
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:08.053
'cause it doesn't even say if peter ever got
00:11:08.119 --> 00:11:08.920
Say if peter ever got his lunch.
00:11:08.987 --> 00:11:09.587
His lunch. [laughter]
00:11:09.654 --> 00:11:13.591
[laughter] god had something more
00:11:13.658 --> 00:11:14.426
God had something more important at the gate,
00:11:14.492 --> 00:11:17.462
Important at the gate, even than what he
00:11:17.529 --> 00:11:18.029
Even than what he was praying for.
00:11:18.096 --> 00:11:21.966
Was praying for. does he have something
00:11:22.033 --> 00:11:23.535
Does he have something better for you?
00:11:23.601 --> 00:11:27.472
Better for you? has the devil been
00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:28.206
Has the devil been saying, "never?"
00:11:28.273 --> 00:11:30.775
Saying, "never?" have you been looking
00:11:30.842 --> 00:11:31.409
Have you been looking at a stack of bills,
00:11:31.476 --> 00:11:35.780
At a stack of bills, not the buffalo bills.
00:11:35.847 --> 00:11:37.482
Not the buffalo bills. [laughter]
00:11:37.549 --> 00:11:44.556
[laughter] snow day humor,
00:11:44.622 --> 00:11:46.558
Snow day humor, snow day humor.
00:11:46.624 --> 00:11:48.827
Snow day humor. and then saying,
00:11:48.893 --> 00:11:50.695
And then saying, "well, i'll never
00:11:50.762 --> 00:11:51.262
"well, i'll never pay this off."
00:11:51.329 --> 00:11:51.830
Pay this off." so, quick principle
00:11:51.896 --> 00:11:53.998
So, quick principle that served me, okay.
00:11:54.065 --> 00:11:55.967
That served me, okay. for your leadership,
00:11:56.034 --> 00:11:56.534
For your leadership, for your company,
00:11:56.601 --> 00:11:57.402
For your company, for anything.
00:11:57.469 --> 00:11:58.703
For anything. your fitness,
00:11:58.770 --> 00:11:59.304
Your fitness, for your emotions,
00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:00.004
For your emotions, whatever.
00:12:00.071 --> 00:12:02.040
Whatever. one immediate action
00:12:02.107 --> 00:12:03.842
One immediate action is worth a thousand
00:12:03.908 --> 00:12:04.609
Is worth a thousand good intentions.
00:12:04.676 --> 00:12:05.777
Good intentions. [applause]
00:12:05.844 --> 00:12:10.815
[applause] i wonder how long peter
00:12:10.882 --> 00:12:11.583
I wonder how long peter would have stayed up
00:12:11.649 --> 00:12:12.217
Would have stayed up on the roof
00:12:12.283 --> 00:12:13.885
On the roof smelling food,
00:12:13.952 --> 00:12:15.754
Smelling food, in a trance.
00:12:15.820 --> 00:12:17.822
In a trance. and the lord said,
00:12:17.889 --> 00:12:18.456
And the lord said, "you won't find out what i have
00:12:18.523 --> 00:12:19.624
"you won't find out what i have for you on the roof."
00:12:19.691 --> 00:12:22.393
For you on the roof." god showed him something
00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:24.028
God showed him something while he prayed.
00:12:24.095 --> 00:12:25.396
While he prayed. he spoke something
00:12:25.463 --> 00:12:26.464
He spoke something that contradicted
00:12:26.531 --> 00:12:26.931
That contradicted what peter thought.
00:12:26.998 --> 00:12:27.932
What peter thought. now, that's been happening
00:12:27.999 --> 00:12:28.933
Now, that's been happening inside of you lately.
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.769
Inside of you lately. the devil's saying "never,"
00:12:30.835 --> 00:12:32.403
The devil's saying "never," you're thinking it,
00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:33.438
You're thinking it, "okay, i never will."
00:12:33.505 --> 00:12:35.573
"okay, i never will." especially when it comes
00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:36.307
Especially when it comes to addictions, y'all.
00:12:36.374 --> 00:12:39.511
To addictions, y'all. when i talked about freedom
00:12:39.577 --> 00:12:40.445
When i talked about freedom last week,
00:12:40.512 --> 00:12:41.312
Last week, half the people
00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:42.013
Half the people couldn't even hear me.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.249
Couldn't even hear me. 'cause it's like,
00:12:44.315 --> 00:12:44.716
'cause it's like, "oh yeah, i heard
00:12:44.783 --> 00:12:45.250
"oh yeah, i heard a sermon like this.
00:12:45.316 --> 00:12:48.353
A sermon like this. i did rehab three times.
00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:53.324
I did rehab three times. oh yeah, yeah,
00:12:53.391 --> 00:12:54.259
Oh yeah, yeah, i've tried this already.
00:12:54.325 --> 00:12:56.728
I've tried this already. cool man,
00:12:56.795 --> 00:12:57.095
Cool man, i hope you get 'em
00:12:57.162 --> 00:12:57.695
I hope you get 'em while they're young,
00:12:57.762 --> 00:12:58.329
While they're young, 'cause once you've been
00:12:58.396 --> 00:13:00.765
'cause once you've been in it this long."
00:13:00.832 --> 00:13:04.536
In it this long." never.
00:13:04.602 --> 00:13:07.939
Never. i hesitate to do this
00:13:08.006 --> 00:13:08.807
I hesitate to do this because you can take it
00:13:08.873 --> 00:13:10.041
Because you can take it and make it something
00:13:10.108 --> 00:13:11.342
And make it something i don't mean.
00:13:11.409 --> 00:13:13.978
I don't mean. but even some of you
00:13:14.045 --> 00:13:15.346
But even some of you that thought like,
00:13:15.413 --> 00:13:16.781
That thought like, "you will never have
00:13:16.848 --> 00:13:17.515
"you will never have another relationship,"
00:13:17.582 --> 00:13:20.785
Another relationship," you never,
00:13:20.852 --> 00:13:22.720
You never, you're bringing so much baggage
00:13:22.787 --> 00:13:26.391
You're bringing so much baggage from leviticus 11,
00:13:26.457 --> 00:13:29.761
From leviticus 11, of how you think
00:13:29.828 --> 00:13:30.428
Of how you think things have to be.
00:13:30.495 --> 00:13:34.399
Things have to be. and you're like,
00:13:34.465 --> 00:13:34.833
And you're like, "nope, they have scales.
00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:36.701
"nope, they have scales. nope, they have fins.
00:13:36.768 --> 00:13:38.336
Nope, they have fins. nope, they have hoofs.
00:13:38.403 --> 00:13:40.171
Nope, they have hoofs. no, they chew the cod."
00:13:40.238 --> 00:13:43.474
No, they chew the cod." and so, then you make blanket
00:13:43.541 --> 00:13:44.475
And so, then you make blanket statements about what god
00:13:44.542 --> 00:13:45.610
Statements about what god can and can't
00:13:45.677 --> 00:13:47.979
Can and can't do in your life.
00:13:48.046 --> 00:13:49.881
Do in your life. one of the greatest things,
00:13:49.948 --> 00:13:51.049
One of the greatest things, we're celebrating,
00:13:51.115 --> 00:13:51.950
We're celebrating, dr. kings legacy in
00:13:52.016 --> 00:13:53.351
Dr. kings legacy in the unites states, this weekend,
00:13:53.418 --> 00:13:55.620
The unites states, this weekend, this monday.
00:13:55.687 --> 00:13:57.522
Our outreach teams went out
00:13:57.622 --> 00:13:59.991
Our outreach teams went out and did amazing things,
00:14:00.058 --> 00:14:00.892
And did amazing things, probably by the time you see
00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:02.427
Probably by the time you see this message.
00:14:02.493 --> 00:14:04.462
This message. but one day a man
00:14:04.529 --> 00:14:05.296
But one day a man touched my heart,
00:14:05.363 --> 00:14:06.865
Touched my heart, because he said,
00:14:06.931 --> 00:14:07.432
Because he said, "i'm 72 and i hated
00:14:07.498 --> 00:14:10.301
"i'm 72 and i hated white people all my life
00:14:10.368 --> 00:14:12.470
White people all my life until god brought
00:14:12.537 --> 00:14:12.937
You on my tv and gave the word."
00:14:13.037 --> 00:14:15.406
You on my tv and gave the word." and we met and he said,
00:14:15.473 --> 00:14:19.344
And we met and he said, "thank you."
00:14:19.410 --> 00:14:19.677
"thank you." and i was like,
00:14:19.744 --> 00:14:20.211
And i was like, "no, thank you.
00:14:20.278 --> 00:14:20.678
"no, thank you. i spend a lot of my time
00:14:20.745 --> 00:14:21.613
I spend a lot of my time wondering if people hear
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:23.081
Wondering if people hear what you say,
00:14:23.147 --> 00:14:23.548
What you say, or if it matters,
00:14:23.615 --> 00:14:24.282
Or if it matters, or if you just giving
00:14:24.349 --> 00:14:25.183
Or if you just giving people little sermons
00:14:25.250 --> 00:14:28.086
People little sermons to get through the week
00:14:28.152 --> 00:14:29.254
To get through the week or whatever.
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:30.722
Or whatever. that's hard for me to believe
00:14:30.788 --> 00:14:31.656
That's hard for me to believe but thank you
00:14:31.723 --> 00:14:32.991
But thank you for telling me."
00:14:33.057 --> 00:14:34.792
For telling me." and then i talked to him
00:14:34.859 --> 00:14:35.660
And then i talked to him a few minutes.
00:14:35.727 --> 00:14:37.061
A few minutes. and he told me a lot
00:14:37.128 --> 00:14:37.862
And he told me a lot of the story of like,
00:14:37.929 --> 00:14:38.930
Of the story of like, why he felt
00:14:38.997 --> 00:14:39.464
Why he felt the way he felt.
00:14:39.530 --> 00:14:40.531
The way he felt. and i got it.
00:14:40.598 --> 00:14:41.933
And i got it. and i was like,
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:42.800
And i was like, "well, do you still
00:14:42.867 --> 00:14:43.368
"well, do you still like me after meeting me?"
00:14:43.434 --> 00:14:44.569
Like me after meeting me?" he was like,
00:14:44.636 --> 00:14:45.069
He was like, "i like you better."
00:14:45.136 --> 00:14:45.837
"i like you better." he said,
00:14:45.904 --> 00:14:46.304
He said, "but you are shorter in person.
00:14:46.371 --> 00:14:48.940
"but you are shorter in person. [laughter]
00:14:49.007 --> 00:14:56.147
[laughter] "but i never thought
00:14:56.214 --> 00:14:56.848
"but i never thought i would listen
00:14:56.915 --> 00:14:57.482
I would listen to a white preacher,
00:14:57.548 --> 00:15:00.852
To a white preacher, i never."
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.088
I never." and that becomes
00:15:04.155 --> 00:15:06.524
And that becomes the lid in the limitation.
00:15:06.591 --> 00:15:09.761
The lid in the limitation. when the devil says "never,"
00:15:09.827 --> 00:15:11.229
When the devil says "never," then you just stop looking.
00:15:11.296 --> 00:15:15.500
Then you just stop looking. good things never happen to you,
00:15:15.566 --> 00:15:18.336
Good things never happen to you, it happens to others.
00:15:18.403 --> 00:15:20.271
It happens to others. "i never have any luck.
00:15:20.338 --> 00:15:23.041
"i never have any luck. i never get any breaks.
00:15:23.107 --> 00:15:26.844
I never get any breaks. it never stops,
00:15:26.911 --> 00:15:28.913
It never stops, i never get ahead."
00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:31.049
I never get ahead." that is the devil's language.
00:15:31.115 --> 00:15:36.821
That is the devil's language. he took god's word,
00:15:36.888 --> 00:15:38.990
He took god's word, "never will i leave you,"
00:15:39.057 --> 00:15:41.926
"never will i leave you," and he co-opt god's
00:15:41.993 --> 00:15:43.895
And he co-opt god's word for his purpose.
00:15:43.962 --> 00:15:47.098
Word for his purpose. like he did with jesus
00:15:47.165 --> 00:15:47.932
Like he did with jesus when he was tempted,
00:15:47.999 --> 00:15:49.100
When he was tempted, he took god's word,
00:15:49.167 --> 00:15:51.035
He took god's word, "throw yourself the angels.
00:15:51.102 --> 00:15:52.737
"throw yourself the angels. turn the bread into stones,"
00:15:52.804 --> 00:15:54.639
Turn the bread into stones," he took gods word, "never,"
00:15:54.706 --> 00:15:57.008
He took gods word, "never," and now he's using it
00:15:57.075 --> 00:15:57.742
And now he's using it against you.

Almost true. like, why put anything in
00:16:16.194 --> 00:16:17.729

Even predict it?" but don't you understand
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:36.280
But don't you understand that it becomes even more
00:16:36.347 --> 00:16:38.182
That it becomes even more important to be sensitive
00:16:38.249 --> 00:16:39.717

00:22:38.109 --> 00:22:40.978
"this is the day that the lord."
00:22:41.045 --> 00:22:43.981

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now.

Now, now. remember when martha
00:22:59.663 --> 00:23:01.432
Remember when martha sent for jesus to come
00:23:01.499 --> 00:23:03.267
Sent for jesus to come and heal lazarus?
00:23:03.334 --> 00:23:05.169
And heal lazarus? remember?
00:23:05.236 --> 00:23:06.604
Remember? you ever read that story?
00:23:06.670 --> 00:23:08.406
You ever read that story? i've preached it,
00:23:08.472 --> 00:23:09.740
I've preached it, a good 20 times in the pulpit.
00:23:09.807 --> 00:23:13.411
A good 20 times in the pulpit. but if you never read it,
00:23:13.477 --> 00:23:14.712
But if you never read it, you need to read it
00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:15.946
You need to read it in john 11.
00:23:16.013 --> 00:23:17.348
In john 11. 'cause they sent
00:23:17.415 --> 00:23:18.649
'cause they sent for jesus
00:23:18.716 --> 00:23:19.884
For jesus and he never came.
00:23:19.950 --> 00:23:21.819
And he never came. some of you feel like martha
00:23:21.886 --> 00:23:24.188
Some of you feel like martha and you send for jesus
00:23:24.255 --> 00:23:26.357
And you send for jesus and he never came.
00:23:26.424 --> 00:23:28.058
And he never came. and you prayed
00:23:28.125 --> 00:23:29.326
And you prayed and he never came.
00:23:29.393 --> 00:23:30.861
And he never came. and you asked
00:23:30.928 --> 00:23:31.796
And you asked and it never changed.
00:23:31.862 --> 00:23:33.130
And it never changed. and you tried
00:23:33.197 --> 00:23:34.298
And you tried and it never works.
00:23:34.365 --> 00:23:35.699
And it never works. and you did it
00:23:35.766 --> 00:23:36.734
And you did it and it never made sense.
00:23:36.801 --> 00:23:41.405
And it never made sense. so, i want you to do
00:23:41.472 --> 00:23:42.373
So, i want you to do what martha did

He's not coming one day, he's here right now.
00:23:59.290 --> 00:24:00.424
He's here right now. he's at the gate,
00:24:00.491 --> 00:24:01.525
He's at the gate, he's at the gate,
00:24:01.592 --> 00:24:02.560
He's at the gate, he's at the gate.
00:24:02.626 --> 00:24:04.528
He's at the gate. he is the gate,
00:24:04.595 --> 00:24:05.763
He is the gate, he is the way,
00:24:05.830 --> 00:24:06.797
He is the way, the truth

The truth and the light.
00:24:07.631 --> 00:24:08.632

She went out to meet him.
00:24:14.905 --> 00:24:16.607
Meet him. what happens

>> well, i hope you enjoyed that message as much as i did.
00:24:25.449 --> 00:24:27.218
That message as much as i did. it really made me wonder,
00:24:27.284 --> 00:24:29.053
It really made me wonder, "what lies and labels from
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.455
"what lies and labels from the enemy am i holding on to,
00:24:31.522 --> 00:24:33.958
The enemy am i holding on to, that i might not
00:24:34.024 --> 00:24:34.458
That i might not even realize it?"
00:24:34.525 --> 00:24:35.493
Even realize it?" it could be lies about myself,
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:36.894
It could be lies about myself, or about god, or about
00:24:36.961 --> 00:24:38.629
Or about god, or about my circumstances.
00:24:38.696 --> 00:24:40.064
My circumstances. the devil uses this
00:24:40.130 --> 00:24:41.799
The devil uses this to hold us back from
00:24:41.866 --> 00:24:43.634
To hold us back from what god has for us.
00:24:43.701 --> 00:24:45.636
What god has for us. so, i am so excited
00:24:45.703 --> 00:24:47.137
So, i am so excited to share, that we've put
00:24:47.204 --> 00:24:48.405
To share, that we've put together a new series called,
00:24:48.472 --> 00:24:50.241
Together a new series called, "devil you've held
00:24:50.307 --> 00:24:51.475
Me long enough."
00:24:51.575 --> 00:24:52.576
Me long enough." >> alright, so you know
00:24:52.643 --> 00:24:53.477
>> alright, so you know you need to get this.
00:24:53.544 --> 00:24:54.578
You need to get this. 'cause, there are
00:24:54.645 --> 00:24:55.579
'cause, there are some things in your life
00:24:55.646 --> 00:24:56.380
Some things in your life that honestly,
00:24:56.447 --> 00:24:57.014
That honestly, you just need to say,
00:24:57.081 --> 00:24:57.948
You just need to say, "enough is changing right now."
00:24:58.015 --> 00:25:01.085
"enough is changing right now." and then, there's the decision
00:25:01.151 --> 00:25:02.520
And then, there's the decision to say, "that's enough,"
00:25:02.586 --> 00:25:04.455
To say, "that's enough," but then sometimes
00:25:04.522 --> 00:25:05.055
But then sometimes we need the details.
00:25:05.122 --> 00:25:06.657
We need the details. we need a process
00:25:06.724 --> 00:25:07.291
We need a process to take us through.
00:25:07.358 --> 00:25:08.425
