- 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.400
- Hey, family is
- 00:00:17.767 --> 00:00:18.501
- Pastor tim timberlake again,
- 00:00:18.501 --> 00:00:20.437
- And i'm honored to be back with you.
- 00:00:20.437 --> 00:00:22.405
- Whether you're
- 00:00:22.405 --> 00:00:23.173
- Watching me on your cell phone
- 00:00:23.173 --> 00:00:24.674
- Or maybe you're watching me in your home, wherever the case is
- 00:00:24.674 --> 00:00:28.945
- And wherever you
- 00:00:28.945 --> 00:00:30.080
- May be watching, i am honored to share the good news
- 00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:33.383
- Of jesus christ with you.
- 00:00:33.383 --> 00:00:35.185
- Last week,
- 00:00:35.185 --> 00:00:36.319
- We unpacked this message that god placed on my heart,
- 00:00:36.319 --> 00:00:39.789
- Marked before moved, and we talked about abraham,
- 00:00:39.789 --> 00:00:43.426
- And we discussed how abraham, he got halfway.
- 00:00:43.426 --> 00:00:47.163
- He was partially obedient,
- 00:00:47.163 --> 00:00:48.798
- But partial obedience is still disobedience.
- 00:00:48.798 --> 00:00:52.836
- And in this particular message that god has given me,
- 00:00:52.836 --> 00:00:55.805
- We continue the story of stephen in front of the sanhedrin
- 00:00:55.805 --> 00:00:59.375
- Council, and he's explaining to them
- 00:00:59.375 --> 00:01:01.911
- What god did for abraham and what god did for joseph.
- 00:01:01.911 --> 00:01:05.782
- And i want us to go to the word, as it has already begun,
- 00:01:05.782 --> 00:01:09.486
- Entitled moved by hunger.
- 00:01:09.486 --> 00:01:12.622
- Let's go to the word of god and glean from it.
- 00:01:12.622 --> 00:01:15.225
- Get from it, grow from it the ways that only god can do.
- 00:01:15.225 --> 00:01:19.062
- And i'll be back here very soon.
- 00:01:19.696 --> 00:01:21.965
- Be blessed.
- 00:01:21.965 --> 00:01:27.237
- So god
- 00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:28.371
- Will, in fact, let you occupy a title
- 00:01:28.371 --> 00:01:31.407
- And strip you of your anointing.
- 00:01:32.041 --> 00:01:35.311
- And some of us carry the title,
- 00:01:35.979 --> 00:01:38.081
- But we don't carry the weight with it.
- 00:01:38.081 --> 00:01:40.483
- Some of us have the look,
- 00:01:40.483 --> 00:01:42.051
- But we don't have the influence that goes behind
- 00:01:42.051 --> 00:01:44.320
- What it is that god has called us to steward.
- 00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:46.189
- Some of us have the possessions,
- 00:01:46.189 --> 00:01:47.657
- But we don't have the priorities in order,
- 00:01:47.657 --> 00:01:49.459
- So we won't keep them.
- 00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:53.229
- And stephen is utilizing the life of joseph
- 00:01:53.229 --> 00:01:55.999
- To demonstrate
- 00:01:55.999 --> 00:01:57.200
- And model to us that if we don't have the presence of god,
- 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.170
- You in fact can have the provision
- 00:02:00.904 --> 00:02:04.073
- And think that the provision
- 00:02:04.073 --> 00:02:06.376
- Is the promise,
- 00:02:06.376 --> 00:02:08.511
- When in fact the promise is his presence.
- 00:02:08.511 --> 00:02:12.348
- When you stay surrendered and submit it to the feet of jesus.
- 00:02:12.348 --> 00:02:16.986
- Point number one, i encourage you to take notes
- 00:02:17.987 --> 00:02:19.889
- Because life is going to press you.
- 00:02:19.889 --> 00:02:21.291
- And when life presses you,
- 00:02:21.291 --> 00:02:22.992
- What's on the inside of you will come out of you.
- 00:02:22.992 --> 00:02:26.563
- And if you're not prepared for it,
- 00:02:26.563 --> 00:02:28.531
- Your flesh will speak for you instead of your spirit man.
- 00:02:28.531 --> 00:02:31.601
- Point number one is this god will starve.
- 00:02:32.502 --> 00:02:35.972
- What you refuse to surrender.
- 00:02:35.972 --> 00:02:39.876
- I love you to.
- 00:02:40.243 --> 00:02:43.346
- God will use famine
- 00:02:43.813 --> 00:02:45.014
- To finish what circumcision started.
- 00:02:45.014 --> 00:02:48.318
- See what the knife begin.
- 00:02:48.318 --> 00:02:51.020
- Famine completes.
- 00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.057
- Look at the text.
- 00:02:54.057 --> 00:02:55.792
- Joseph is sold and jacob
- 00:02:55.792 --> 00:02:58.861
- Remains comfortable.
- 00:02:58.861 --> 00:03:02.932
- His son is placed
- 00:03:03.366 --> 00:03:05.301
- Into a pit and is lost by his other sons.
- 00:03:05.301 --> 00:03:08.805
- And jacob remains comfortable.
- 00:03:08.805 --> 00:03:11.541
- And so what happens around his comfort?
- 00:03:11.541 --> 00:03:15.445
- Famine hits
- 00:03:15.778 --> 00:03:18.414
- And god has a way
- 00:03:18.414 --> 00:03:20.350
- Of using famine to move you.
- 00:03:20.350 --> 00:03:22.685
- When your faith gets lazy.
- 00:03:22.685 --> 00:03:29.659
- And so god will starve.
- 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.528
- What? you refuse to surrender
- 00:03:32.528 --> 00:03:36.065
- When famine shows up, it forces movement
- 00:03:36.065 --> 00:03:39.936
- That your faith has not yet produced.
- 00:03:39.936 --> 00:03:43.940
- So the covenant of circumcision, it marked abraham,
- 00:03:43.940 --> 00:03:47.510
- But it was hunger that mobilized jacob.
- 00:03:47.510 --> 00:03:50.780
- And in this passage we understand and see that
- 00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:53.349
- Famine is not punishment.
- 00:03:53.349 --> 00:03:55.451
- It is pressure applied to unfulfilled obedience.
- 00:03:55.451 --> 00:03:59.122
- And some of you, you're in a season of famine right now,
- 00:03:59.122 --> 00:04:02.258
- Not because god is penalizing you, but
- 00:04:02.258 --> 00:04:05.361
- Because god is positioning you for greater purpose.
- 00:04:05.361 --> 00:04:08.831
- And god will leave you there long enough to starve you
- 00:04:09.932 --> 00:04:13.670
- To the point where you depend only on him and on nothing else.
- 00:04:13.670 --> 00:04:17.540
- You find satisfaction and fulfillment in.
- 00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:22.111
- And so god will
- 00:04:22.478 --> 00:04:23.346
- In fact remove provision
- 00:04:23.346 --> 00:04:26.416
- To reveal direction.
- 00:04:26.416 --> 00:04:30.386
- I'll say it again god will remove provision from your life
- 00:04:30.386 --> 00:04:34.324
- To reveal direction.
- 00:04:34.791 --> 00:04:37.060
- Because if you get hungry enough,
- 00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:40.229
- You'll look for substance somewhere.
- 00:04:40.229 --> 00:04:43.633
- You get thirsty enough,
- 00:04:44.133 --> 00:04:46.336
- You look for water somewhere.
- 00:04:46.336 --> 00:04:48.838
- So we don't know what it is
- 00:04:48.838 --> 00:04:51.341
- To really be hungry here in america,
- 00:04:51.341 --> 00:04:54.444
- To really long and search for clean water
- 00:04:55.278 --> 00:04:58.247
- Here in the states, because we have it in abundance.
- 00:04:58.247 --> 00:05:01.984
- But you go with me to africa.
- 00:05:02.618 --> 00:05:04.120
- One of these are
- 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.254
- The third will countries where water is not a luxury.
- 00:05:05.254 --> 00:05:07.957
- It is essential
- 00:05:07.957 --> 00:05:10.927
- Because it is hard to come by.
- 00:05:10.927 --> 00:05:12.628
- When you discover it, you're grateful for it.
- 00:05:12.628 --> 00:05:15.365
- And you, you relish in what it is that you receive
- 00:05:15.365 --> 00:05:18.368
- Because you understand
- 00:05:18.368 --> 00:05:19.702
- That this is not something you just want.
- 00:05:19.702 --> 00:05:21.938
- This is something that you need.
- 00:05:21.938 --> 00:05:23.873
- And when you get hungry enough for the things of god,
- 00:05:23.873 --> 00:05:26.542
- It drives you to find his presence.
- 00:05:26.542 --> 00:05:29.379
- And the reality is, is some of us
- 00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:32.382
- Are not hungry enough because we're so full of ourselves.
- 00:05:32.382 --> 00:05:41.891
- You want to know
- 00:05:42.291 --> 00:05:43.159
- How i know you're full of yourself.
- 00:05:43.159 --> 00:05:46.095
- Because you pick and choose.
- 00:05:46.696 --> 00:05:48.097
- When you spend time with god,
- 00:05:48.097 --> 00:05:50.466
- Like your soul and your spirit, don't depend on it.
- 00:05:50.466 --> 00:05:53.836
- You want to know how?
- 00:05:54.337 --> 00:05:55.071
- Know you full of yourself.
- 00:05:55.071 --> 00:05:56.572
- Because if i was to ask you,
- 00:05:56.572 --> 00:05:58.141
- Why should you make it into heaven?
- 00:05:58.141 --> 00:05:59.742
- You probably would start
- 00:05:59.742 --> 00:06:00.810
- The conversation off by saying, because i.
- 00:06:00.810 --> 00:06:06.516
- How do you know you're going to make it into heaven?
- 00:06:07.550 --> 00:06:09.252
- Because i because i did this because i'm not a bad person
- 00:06:09.252 --> 00:06:12.822
- And because i'm okay, and because i had this many days
- 00:06:12.822 --> 00:06:15.892
- Where i didn't sin.
- 00:06:15.892 --> 00:06:16.826
- And the reality is, if that conversation
- 00:06:16.826 --> 00:06:19.028
- Does not start with because he.
- 00:06:19.028 --> 00:06:27.437
- You're not hungry enough.
- 00:06:28.004 --> 00:06:30.907
- And guess what god would do?
- 00:06:30.907 --> 00:06:33.976
- He will continue
- 00:06:34.377 --> 00:06:36.546
- To let life
- 00:06:36.546 --> 00:06:39.282
- Squish
- 00:06:39.282 --> 00:06:42.185
- Until you are empty.
- 00:06:42.185 --> 00:06:46.255
- And starving
- 00:06:46.589 --> 00:06:49.459
- For the only thing
- 00:06:49.459 --> 00:06:51.994
- That can fulfill your soul
- 00:06:51.994 --> 00:06:54.730
- And nourish your spirit.
- 00:06:54.730 --> 00:06:58.968
- Stephen
- 00:06:59.202 --> 00:07:00.002
- Is teaching the sanhedrin council.
- 00:07:00.002 --> 00:07:03.139
- If comfort could mature, you,
- 00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:06.142
- Then egypt would have never been necessary.
- 00:07:06.142 --> 00:07:09.946
- But god will let hunger preach
- 00:07:10.546 --> 00:07:13.916
- When his voice remains ignored in your life,
- 00:07:13.916 --> 00:07:18.087
- Because you're too full of yourself.
- 00:07:18.855 --> 00:07:23.059
- Point number two.
- 00:07:23.493 --> 00:07:27.230
- God doesn't protect you from rejection.
- 00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:30.399
- He redeems you through it.
- 00:07:30.967 --> 00:07:34.504
- Rejection did not counsel joseph's purpose and assignment.
- 00:07:34.504 --> 00:07:37.807
- It positioned him for it.
- 00:07:37.807 --> 00:07:40.276
- Scripture says they sold him into slavery.
- 00:07:40.276 --> 00:07:43.846
- They sold him.
- 00:07:43.846 --> 00:07:45.081
- But look at what god does.
- 00:07:45.081 --> 00:07:47.049
- God stationed him in the prison.
- 00:07:47.049 --> 00:07:50.887
- They threw him in the pit, and god stationed him in the prison.
- 00:07:50.887 --> 00:07:54.991
- Because god understands what promotion looks like
- 00:07:54.991 --> 00:07:58.828
- Beyond your pain and you won't understand it
- 00:07:58.828 --> 00:08:02.198
- If you allow pain to speak louder than his promise.
- 00:08:02.198 --> 00:08:06.168
- But what do you mean by that?
- 00:08:06.802 --> 00:08:09.372
- If joseph would have complained in the prison,
- 00:08:09.372 --> 00:08:13.876
- He would have never got an opportunity to prophesy.
- 00:08:13.876 --> 00:08:19.015
- I said of joseph, would have complained in the prison.
- 00:08:20.116 --> 00:08:23.319
- He never would have got an opportunity to prophesy
- 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.855
- What happened.
- 00:08:25.855 --> 00:08:27.590
- He interpreted the dreams
- 00:08:27.590 --> 00:08:30.393
- Of a baker and a butler.
- 00:08:30.393 --> 00:08:34.363
- What is the significance of this for us?
- 00:08:35.164 --> 00:08:38.401
- A baker? prepare something.
- 00:08:38.401 --> 00:08:41.337
- A butler serves it.
- 00:08:41.337 --> 00:08:44.373
- Hear me.
- 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:46.742
- If you think that this season of isolation.
- 00:08:46.742 --> 00:08:49.645
- If you think that this season of confinement.
- 00:08:49.645 --> 00:08:51.981
- If you think that the season of restriction
- 00:08:51.981 --> 00:08:54.350
- Is god punishing you, that you never will continue to proclaim
- 00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:58.754
- The purpose that god has placed in you
- 00:08:58.754 --> 00:09:00.890
- Because it's so focused on yourself.
- 00:09:00.890 --> 00:09:04.560
- But when you see the current season that you're in
- 00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:07.396
- As god prepping you
- 00:09:07.396 --> 00:09:09.365
- For greater purpose,
- 00:09:09.832 --> 00:09:12.068
- Then everyone that comes across your path,
- 00:09:12.068 --> 00:09:14.670
- You call out what god has called out on the inside of them.
- 00:09:14.670 --> 00:09:18.407
- Because god's purpose for your life is not just for you,
- 00:09:18.407 --> 00:09:21.644
- It's for everyone that comes into contact with you.
- 00:09:21.644 --> 00:09:24.013
- And this is what joseph understood.
- 00:09:24.013 --> 00:09:25.915
- Although i may not know what they do,
- 00:09:25.915 --> 00:09:27.950
- I understand who is at work on the inside of them.
- 00:09:27.950 --> 00:09:30.286
- So i have to interpret what it is that they're
- 00:09:30.286 --> 00:09:32.521
- Carrying, because maybe god will activate the gift in them.
- 00:09:32.521 --> 00:09:36.425
- By my gift being activated, even when i feel like i'm hidden
- 00:09:36.425 --> 00:09:39.929
- And restricted and enslaved to the very thing
- 00:09:39.929 --> 00:09:42.832
- That got me here.
- 00:09:42.832 --> 00:09:46.769
- And so joseph begins to interpret
- 00:09:47.503 --> 00:09:50.139
- The dream of a baker and a butler.
- 00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:54.610
- The baker prepares and a butler serves.
- 00:09:55.444 --> 00:09:59.181
- The point in this for us
- 00:09:59.181 --> 00:10:01.250
- Is you never know who god will position you in front of
- 00:10:01.250 --> 00:10:04.820
- When you feel hidden, overlooked.
- 00:10:04.820 --> 00:10:09.659
- Hear me?
- 00:10:09.925 --> 00:10:11.360
- The very thing that got joseph thrown into the pit
- 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.331
- Is the very thing that got joseph imprisoned.
- 00:10:15.331 --> 00:10:18.434
- And is the very thing
- 00:10:18.434 --> 00:10:19.502
- That got him promoted to the place of honor in egypt
- 00:10:19.502 --> 00:10:23.439
- When he was not in egyptian.
- 00:10:23.439 --> 00:10:26.942
- So god will take what you have, look pastor,
- 00:10:26.942 --> 00:10:30.780
- And he will take what you deem as punishment,
- 00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:33.716
- And he will promote you
- 00:10:33.716 --> 00:10:35.451
- In the very season that you feel restricted in.
- 00:10:35.451 --> 00:10:38.120
- Before anyone knows who you are, before anyone sees
- 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.756
- Anything different, before you even feel different,
- 00:10:40.756 --> 00:10:42.892
- God will elevate you in pain so that you don't think you are
- 00:10:42.892 --> 00:10:46.128
- The one that put yourself out of the prison
- 00:10:46.128 --> 00:10:48.030
- That you've been stuck in for all these different years.
- 00:10:48.030 --> 00:10:52.802
- You know what god was doing with joseph?
- 00:10:53.636 --> 00:10:56.272
- He was digging a well in him that only he could feel.
- 00:10:56.272 --> 00:10:59.175
- You want to know what god was doing in joseph?
- 00:11:00.142 --> 00:11:02.244
- He was cultivating a whole a hunger
- 00:11:02.244 --> 00:11:04.547
- That only could be fulfilled by the presence of god.
- 00:11:04.547 --> 00:11:08.084
- He was developing a dependance in joseph
- 00:11:08.084 --> 00:11:10.553
- That can only be relieved
- 00:11:10.553 --> 00:11:13.923
- By the power of god.
- 00:11:14.390 --> 00:11:18.661
- And what would have been a great story
- 00:11:19.495 --> 00:11:22.598
- Would have been.
- 00:11:22.598 --> 00:11:23.566
- And joseph was free from egypt,
- 00:11:23.566 --> 00:11:26.836
- And god promoted him.
- 00:11:26.836 --> 00:11:30.005
- Joseph was released out of prison,
- 00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:33.876
- And he went back home,
- 00:11:34.343 --> 00:11:37.179
- And he lived the rest of his days with his family.
- 00:11:37.179 --> 00:11:39.381
- But scripture does not say that
- 00:11:39.381 --> 00:11:42.184
- Joseph did not rise after egypt.
- 00:11:42.184 --> 00:11:45.254
- He rose inside of egypt.
- 00:11:45.254 --> 00:11:48.491
- And it is possible
- 00:11:48.924 --> 00:11:50.960
- That the very place you're trying to escape
- 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.263
- Is the very place god is wanting to
- 00:11:55.064 --> 00:11:56.766
- Promote you.
- 00:11:56.766 --> 00:12:03.439
- Because god
- 00:12:03.773 --> 00:12:05.174
- Would use hunger
- 00:12:05.574 --> 00:12:08.010
- To move you.
- 00:12:08.010 --> 00:12:10.212
- And stephen is saying to the sanhedrin council,
- 00:12:10.212 --> 00:12:13.516
- You've always rejected the deliverer,
- 00:12:14.250 --> 00:12:18.020
- But you have freely received deliverance.
- 00:12:18.020 --> 00:12:21.323
- And if we're not careful, we will try to manipulate
- 00:12:22.391 --> 00:12:25.561
- Our relationship with jesus to get what we want
- 00:12:25.561 --> 00:12:29.198
- Instead of depend on him for what we need.
- 00:12:30.099 --> 00:12:32.868
- And i want you to hear me when i tell you this.
- 00:12:32.868 --> 00:12:35.171
- Any spirit you try to manipulate for your own personal
- 00:12:35.171 --> 00:12:37.907
- Gain is witchcraft.
- 00:12:37.907 --> 00:12:46.816
- When you rely
- 00:12:47.183 --> 00:12:49.418
- On the presence of god
- 00:12:49.418 --> 00:12:51.654
- In every season,
- 00:12:51.654 --> 00:12:53.622
- Whether you find yourself in the pit,
- 00:12:53.622 --> 00:12:56.692
- In the prison, or in the palace, you understand
- 00:12:56.692 --> 00:13:02.331
- That rejection is often god's transportation system
- 00:13:02.331 --> 00:13:07.570
- That gets you from the current season to the season.
- 00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:11.040
- He is calling you into.
- 00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:14.610
- What they meant to bury you with
- 00:13:14.610 --> 00:13:16.612
- God will use to build toward you.
- 00:13:17.346 --> 00:13:20.549
- Hear me?
- 00:13:20.816 --> 00:13:22.585
- The pit was not an interruption to god's plan.
- 00:13:22.585 --> 00:13:26.889
- It was the itinerary that god had drew up
- 00:13:27.756 --> 00:13:31.026
- To get joseph to the place he wanted for him to be.
- 00:13:31.026 --> 00:13:34.563
- And this is what god will do in your life.
- 00:13:35.431 --> 00:13:39.535
- God will remove provision
- 00:13:40.102 --> 00:13:42.872
- When provision becomes the goal
- 00:13:42.872 --> 00:13:45.574
- Instead of his presence.
- 00:13:45.574 --> 00:13:48.711
- Hey, family, as we take a break,
- 00:13:49.345 --> 00:13:50.946
- My prayer is that this broadcast is blessing you.
- 00:13:50.946 --> 00:13:54.316
- I pray this message as we journey
- 00:13:54.316 --> 00:13:55.985
- Through the book of acts,
- 00:13:55.985 --> 00:13:57.253
- Unlocks destiny on the inside of you.
- 00:13:57.253 --> 00:13:59.521
- Remove the scales from your eyes
- 00:13:59.521 --> 00:14:01.523
- And it removes whatever earmuffs you may have on your ears
- 00:14:01.523 --> 00:14:04.560
- That are blocking you from hearing god.
- 00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:06.729
- I want to provide to your resource today
- 00:14:06.729 --> 00:14:09.231
- The bumpy road to better.
- 00:14:09.231 --> 00:14:10.666
- This is my brand new book that was released, september
- 00:14:10.666 --> 00:14:10.733
- This is my brand new book that was released,
- 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.235
- This is my brand new book that was released, september
- 00:14:13.235 --> 00:14:14.436
- September the 2nd that i believe is going to bless your life
- 00:14:14.436 --> 00:14:17.273
- In this book.
- 00:14:17.273 --> 00:14:18.140
- I talk about how we can unlock the power
- 00:14:18.140 --> 00:14:20.876
- In hard things that we may be navigating in this life.
- 00:14:20.876 --> 00:14:24.313
- And i believe that as we go on this journey of going towards
- 00:14:24.313 --> 00:14:24.380
- And i believe that as we go on this journey of going towards
- 00:14:25.514 --> 00:14:28.250
- Better, there's some bumps that we have
- 00:14:28.250 --> 00:14:29.952
- To navigate, some mountains that we have to scale,
- 00:14:29.952 --> 00:14:32.288
- And some giants that we have to defeat.
- 00:14:32.288 --> 00:14:34.556
- One encourage you do whatever you can to purchase this book.
- 00:14:34.556 --> 00:14:37.192
- The bumpy road to better at the bumpyroadtobetter.com.
- 00:14:37.192 --> 00:14:40.596
- Let's go back into today's message as we continue to learn
- 00:14:40.596 --> 00:14:43.599
- The word of god.
- 00:14:43.599 --> 00:14:46.068
- When provision
- 00:14:46.402 --> 00:14:47.903
- Replaces the presence of god, salvation
- 00:14:47.903 --> 00:14:52.041
- Is traded for slavery.
- 00:14:52.041 --> 00:14:55.744
- And no one has to put shackles on you
- 00:14:56.545 --> 00:15:00.082
- Because you placed them on yourself.
- 00:15:00.082 --> 00:15:04.219
- And that's why some of you
- 00:15:04.787 --> 00:15:05.721
- Can't lift your hands today.
- 00:15:05.721 --> 00:15:09.191
- Because you're stuck in provision.
- 00:15:09.191 --> 00:15:12.428
- And that's why some of you can't worship,
- 00:15:12.428 --> 00:15:14.930
- Because you're thinking about all the things
- 00:15:14.930 --> 00:15:17.900
- Instead of the one who allows you to store
- 00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:20.102
- Them.
- 00:15:20.102 --> 00:15:23.172
- Stephen is telling the sanhedrin
- 00:15:23.172 --> 00:15:24.740
- Council, don't forget
- 00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:27.943
- The promises because you've been provided for.
- 00:15:28.911 --> 00:15:34.717
- Can we dig a little bit?
- 00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:38.287
- Point number three.
- 00:15:38.287 --> 00:15:41.490
- Anything god uses to save you
- 00:15:41.490 --> 00:15:44.927
- That you don't refuse to release
- 00:15:45.561 --> 00:15:47.730
- Will eventually rule you.
- 00:15:47.730 --> 00:15:51.333
- Anything god uses to save you,
- 00:15:51.967 --> 00:15:54.803
- That you refuse to release will eventually rule you.
- 00:15:54.803 --> 00:15:58.841
- What does it mean?
- 00:15:59.274 --> 00:16:01.443
- God will keep you hungry long enough
- 00:16:01.443 --> 00:16:05.547
- To the
- 00:16:05.781 --> 00:16:06.915
- Point where you don't depend more on food than you do.
- 00:16:06.915 --> 00:16:10.085
- Him being your source.
- 00:16:10.085 --> 00:16:13.422
- God intentionally delayed the resources
- 00:16:13.422 --> 00:16:16.825
- So that he could develop
- 00:16:17.359 --> 00:16:18.560
- A hunger on the inside of jacob and the rest of his sons.
- 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:22.164
- Why did god do this?
- 00:16:22.631 --> 00:16:24.800
- It's the same reason god does it in your life.
- 00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:27.970
- Because god's focus is not just on grain,
- 00:16:27.970 --> 00:16:31.573
- It's on him getting glory.
- 00:16:32.141 --> 00:16:35.544
- God's focus
- 00:16:35.878 --> 00:16:37.780
- Is not so that you confuse safety with sonship.
- 00:16:37.780 --> 00:16:43.052
- And if you're a daughter, you're still a son.
- 00:16:43.052 --> 00:16:45.687
- According to the text.
- 00:16:45.687 --> 00:16:49.324
- God will create a well on the inside of you.
- 00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:52.795
- Here he will dig a,
- 00:16:52.795 --> 00:16:55.197
- Ditch on the inside of you that only he can fill
- 00:16:55.197 --> 00:16:58.100
- Because he does not want you to confuse
- 00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:00.002
- Rescue with relationship.
- 00:17:00.002 --> 00:17:05.074
- The reality
- 00:17:05.407 --> 00:17:07.176
- For some of our lives
- 00:17:07.176 --> 00:17:09.078
- Is that god knows that if he pulls you
- 00:17:09.078 --> 00:17:11.647
- Out of the pit now, he'll never hear from you again.
- 00:17:11.647 --> 00:17:17.553
- So he'll leave you there.
- 00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:21.356
- Until you know that, you know that
- 00:17:22.124 --> 00:17:26.061
- You know i can't get myself
- 00:17:26.061 --> 00:17:29.331
- Out of the mess i am in right now.
- 00:17:30.065 --> 00:17:33.669
- Only god can do that.
- 00:17:33.669 --> 00:17:35.904
- And i will make a covenant with god that if he brings me
- 00:17:35.904 --> 00:17:40.309
- Out of the pit, i won't forget the promise
- 00:17:40.309 --> 00:17:43.745
- And the provision and his presence.
- 00:17:43.745 --> 00:17:54.289
- Stay hungry.
- 00:17:54.623 --> 00:17:57.726
- Stay thirsty.
- 00:17:57.726 --> 00:18:00.195
- Stay yielded.
- 00:18:00.195 --> 00:18:02.331
- Stay submitted.
- 00:18:02.331 --> 00:18:05.134
- Stay humble.
- 00:18:05.134 --> 00:18:08.170
- Stay open.
- 00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:09.138
- Stay flexible.
- 00:18:09.138 --> 00:18:10.205
- Stay pliable to the will that god has
- 00:18:10.205 --> 00:18:14.443
- For your life.
- 00:18:14.443 --> 00:18:18.547
- Point number four is this.
- 00:18:19.114 --> 00:18:25.787
- God will feed your hunger
- 00:18:26.355 --> 00:18:29.458
- Without healing it.
- 00:18:29.458 --> 00:18:31.593
- If you continue to act like you are your source.
- 00:18:31.593 --> 00:18:39.468
- What led them to egypt?
- 00:18:40.002 --> 00:18:42.571
- Hunger.
- 00:18:42.571 --> 00:18:45.440
- But it was dependance on provision that kept them
- 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.710
- There instead of the promise in the presence of god.
- 00:18:48.710 --> 00:18:53.682
- If you hear nothing else,
- 00:18:54.249 --> 00:18:55.417
- I say today, i pray you heard this next statement.
- 00:18:55.417 --> 00:18:58.554
- Egypt add to their appetite,
- 00:18:58.554 --> 00:19:01.823
- But only god could answer their ache.
- 00:19:01.823 --> 00:19:07.329
- And some of you are full, but you're still empty.
- 00:19:08.330 --> 00:19:11.700
- Some of you are full, but you're still aching.
- 00:19:12.668 --> 00:19:16.071
- Some of you are full, but you're not satisfied.
- 00:19:16.071 --> 00:19:19.007
- It is because you have settled in egypt
- 00:19:19.007 --> 00:19:22.511
- And you have gotten your appetite quenched,
- 00:19:22.511 --> 00:19:26.315
- But you have not allowed the presence and the power of god
- 00:19:26.315 --> 00:19:29.051
- To ease the ache that you've been carrying
- 00:19:29.051 --> 00:19:32.187
- All this time.
- 00:19:32.521 --> 00:19:35.691
- And the reality is,
- 00:19:35.691 --> 00:19:38.594
- It's only god can do
- 00:19:38.594 --> 00:19:41.263
- What you've been looking
- 00:19:41.263 --> 00:19:42.831
- And other places
- 00:19:43.232 --> 00:19:44.166
- And other people to do.
- 00:19:44.166 --> 00:19:47.236
- People will reject you.
- 00:19:47.236 --> 00:19:49.838
- Situations and circumstances will reject you.
- 00:19:49.838 --> 00:19:53.208
- People you thought you could depend on
- 00:19:53.976 --> 00:19:55.510
- For the rest of your life.
- 00:19:55.510 --> 00:19:56.578
- What turned their back on you.
- 00:19:56.578 --> 00:19:57.779
- But guess you won't. god.
- 00:19:57.779 --> 00:20:04.653
- For scripture says.
- 00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:08.390
- And yet god was with them.
- 00:20:08.390 --> 00:20:12.527
- I want you to hear me when i tell you this.
- 00:20:13.462 --> 00:20:15.130
- God is with you.
- 00:20:15.130 --> 00:20:18.500
- Pastor i'm going through the worst season of my life.
- 00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:20.669
- And yet god is with you.
- 00:20:20.669 --> 00:20:23.805
- Pastor i'm confused on what god desires for me.
- 00:20:23.805 --> 00:20:26.241
- And yet god is with you.
- 00:20:26.241 --> 00:20:28.677
- I have no direction and i have no clarity.
- 00:20:28.677 --> 00:20:31.013
- Yet god is with you.
- 00:20:31.013 --> 00:20:33.048
- Pastor, i have not heard the voice
- 00:20:33.048 --> 00:20:34.583
- Of god in so many years, and yet god is with you.
- 00:20:34.583 --> 00:20:38.186
- I have not felt this presence in so many years
- 00:20:38.186 --> 00:20:40.689
- And yet god is with you.
- 00:20:40.689 --> 00:20:42.424
- I'm confused about what he desires for me.
- 00:20:42.424 --> 00:20:44.726
- And yet god is with you.
- 00:20:44.726 --> 00:20:48.096
- Pastor, my life is falling apart and yet god is with you.
- 00:20:48.096 --> 00:20:52.601
- Pastor, my body is wracked with pain and yet god is with you.
- 00:20:52.601 --> 00:20:56.805
- Here is how i know god is with you,
- 00:20:56.805 --> 00:20:58.840
- Because his word promises that he'll never leave you,
- 00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:01.877
- Nor will he forsake you, and yet god is with you.
- 00:21:01.877 --> 00:21:05.847
- And the reason god stays with you
- 00:21:05.847 --> 00:21:08.050
- Is because god will develop a hunger
- 00:21:08.050 --> 00:21:10.218
- Before he moves you to the place he desires for you to be.
- 00:21:10.218 --> 00:21:15.457
- So god will feed your hunger without healing it.
- 00:21:16.425 --> 00:21:18.794
- If you continue to act like you are your own source.
- 00:21:18.794 --> 00:21:23.865
- God keeps using hunger
- 00:21:24.333 --> 00:21:27.069
- Because hunger reveals lordship.
- 00:21:27.069 --> 00:21:37.446
- God will let you be hungry long enough
- 00:21:38.280 --> 00:21:41.350
- To move you.
- 00:21:41.683 --> 00:21:44.886
- And he will let you get fed long enough
- 00:21:44.886 --> 00:21:47.622
- To expose what you trust the most.
- 00:21:47.622 --> 00:21:53.128
- What are you hungry for today?
- 00:21:53.729 --> 00:21:56.998
- If you got what you prayed for,
- 00:21:57.632 --> 00:21:59.034
- Who would have blessed?
- 00:21:59.034 --> 00:22:02.404
- If god answered all your prayers,
- 00:22:03.138 --> 00:22:04.639
- What promises would be fulfilled?
- 00:22:04.639 --> 00:22:10.078
- If you got everything
- 00:22:10.579 --> 00:22:11.480
- That your heart desired and longed for.
- 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.283
- Would you still crave his presence?
- 00:22:16.084 --> 00:22:20.422
- But you still crave
- 00:22:20.889 --> 00:22:23.392
- His purpose.
- 00:22:23.392 --> 00:22:26.128
- You still crave his power.
- 00:22:26.128 --> 00:22:30.332
- My prayer.
- 00:22:30.632 --> 00:22:34.202
- Is that you remain hungry
- 00:22:34.770 --> 00:22:37.672
- So that you never settle
- 00:22:37.672 --> 00:22:40.642
- In provision.
- 00:22:40.642 --> 00:22:43.912
- And so my prayer for you today,
- 00:22:43.912 --> 00:22:46.181
- A strange prayer request.
- 00:22:46.748 --> 00:22:49.751
- But when i pray, marks you for the rest of your life,
- 00:22:49.751 --> 00:22:53.255
- I pray you fail.
- 00:22:53.655 --> 00:22:57.726
- You say well thats cold pastor.
- 00:22:58.360 --> 00:23:01.830
- No no i pray you fail.
- 00:23:01.830 --> 00:23:03.799
- I pray you fail that everything god never intended
- 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.067
- For you to succeed.
- 00:23:06.067 --> 00:23:10.505
- You know what else i pray for?
- 00:23:11.106 --> 00:23:12.140
- Your life.
- 00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:14.242
- I pray you encounter a closed door.
- 00:23:14.242 --> 00:23:18.914
- I pray you encounter every closed door
- 00:23:19.748 --> 00:23:21.583
- That god never intended for you to walk to.
- 00:23:21.583 --> 00:23:24.820
- I pray, hear me.
- 00:23:24.820 --> 00:23:26.822
- I pray
- 00:23:26.822 --> 00:23:28.857
- You get rejected.
- 00:23:28.857 --> 00:23:32.627
- I pray you get
- 00:23:32.961 --> 00:23:33.695
- Rejected in every relationship
- 00:23:33.695 --> 00:23:36.698
- That god never purpose for you to be in.
- 00:23:36.698 --> 00:23:45.207
- And i pray
- 00:23:45.507 --> 00:23:47.375
- That you only find fulfillment
- 00:23:47.375 --> 00:23:50.812
- In his presence through his power
- 00:23:50.812 --> 00:23:54.916
- Because of his purpose and plan that he has for your life.
- 00:23:54.916 --> 00:23:59.521
- And so it's not until you feel that you realize
- 00:23:59.521 --> 00:24:02.023
- You can't succeed without him.
- 00:24:02.023 --> 00:24:03.592
- Scripture teaches us
- 00:24:03.592 --> 00:24:04.926
- That there are some things that are possible without him,
- 00:24:04.926 --> 00:24:07.562
- But all things are possible to those that believe.
- 00:24:07.562 --> 00:24:16.872
- And so if you feel,
- 00:24:17.339 --> 00:24:19.508
- You feel like you don't know where to turn,
- 00:24:19.508 --> 00:24:22.110
- You feel like you don't know which way is up,
- 00:24:22.110 --> 00:24:23.912
- Which way is down, you feel like you have no idea
- 00:24:23.912 --> 00:24:27.048
- Where your next spiritual meal
- 00:24:27.048 --> 00:24:28.917
- Is coming from,
- 00:24:28.917 --> 00:24:30.185
- Because you have been searching and you found yourself hungry
- 00:24:30.185 --> 00:24:33.221
- In a dry land and thirsty and a desert.
- 00:24:33.221 --> 00:24:36.525
- I'm telling you, you will find fulfillment and satisfaction
- 00:24:36.525 --> 00:24:40.462
- Only in jesus.
- 00:24:40.462 --> 00:24:44.900
- So look to him.
- 00:24:45.267 --> 00:24:47.736
- He'll never fail you.
- 00:24:47.736 --> 00:24:50.872
- Look to him.
- 00:24:50.872 --> 00:24:51.473
- He'll never leave you.
- 00:24:51.473 --> 00:24:53.842
- Look to him.
- 00:24:53.842 --> 00:24:54.776
- He'll never let you down or disappoint you.
- 00:24:54.776 --> 00:24:57.679
- Look to him
- 00:24:58.013 --> 00:24:58.680
- Because he is
- 00:24:58.680 --> 00:24:59.381
- The only one that can do for you
- 00:24:59.381 --> 00:25:00.982
- What you can never do for yourself.
- 00:25:00.982 --> 00:25:03.418
- Turn your eyes, fix your gaze on him and watch
- 00:25:03.418 --> 00:25:07.589
- How jesus provides for you.
- 00:25:07.589 --> 00:25:11.393
- Was you blessed by that word?
- 00:25:12.027 --> 00:25:13.929
- I sure do pray so i pray that we can see
- 00:25:13.929 --> 00:25:17.732
- How our lives are better shaped when we no longer
- 00:25:17.732 --> 00:25:22.637
- Depend on egypt, but depend on god.
- 00:25:22.637 --> 00:25:26.174
- I want you to understand this.
- 00:25:26.808 --> 00:25:28.810
- Egypt was not the promise egypt was to preservation.
- 00:25:28.810 --> 00:25:33.815
- And oftentimes we think that what god uses to preserve us
- 00:25:33.815 --> 00:25:38.119
- Is, in fact, the promises of god.
- 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.689
- And i don't want us to get stuck
- 00:25:40.689 --> 00:25:42.691
- In what god uses to preserve us.
- 00:25:42.691 --> 00:25:45.627
- Let us be a people
- 00:25:45.627 --> 00:25:46.695
- That continue to move towards the presence of god,
- 00:25:46.695 --> 00:25:49.664
- That are filled with the power of god,
- 00:25:49.664 --> 00:25:51.900
- That are obedient,
- 00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:52.934
- Submitted and surrendered to the will of god.
- 00:25:52.934 --> 00:25:55.737
- I pray you were blessed by this broadcast today,
- 00:25:55.737 --> 00:25:58.440
- And i pray you continue to go on this journey with us.
- 00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:00.675
- As we go through the acts of the apostles.

- As to how you can partner with us.
- 00:26:06.147 --> 00:26:08.216
