24
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>me because I get out of this as much as

25
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I give into it for you guys. So thank you

26
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>guys for listening over the last several years. Make sure

27
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>you check us out on YouTube as well. We are

28
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 1>on Let's Get Biblical with Katie's. Sometimes we'll do some

29
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>quick private sermons over there. We'll also have some funny

30
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 1>videos over there and more and quick memes things of

31
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>that nature that you can share on your social media

32
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>outlets as well, because remember, it's about spreading the gospel,

33
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>and in twenty twenty six, the best way to spread

34
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the gospel is to take programs like this, videos that

35
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you see and share them because you're doing just that,

36
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>sharing the gospel. And today we're going to talk about

37
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 1>something interesting that I didn't really know much about until

38
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I got into my student ministry studies through my local

39
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>church and also Global University online. We're going to talk

40
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>about the time in the Bible where God was completely

41
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>silent and why it is important to just listen in

42
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>those moments of silence. You see what I did there

43
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>some of y'all just turned off the podcast to something

44
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>you thought happened to your iPod or iTunes or anything

45
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>like that. No, nothing like that. But there's a time

46
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>in the Bible, from the Old Testament to the New Testament,

47
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 1>over four hundred years were spanned where God didn't speak.

48
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine that today? Can you imagine that a

49
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>world where God did not speak? And maybe you're a

50
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>non believer right now, maybe you're an atheist and you're like,

51
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I can't hear him speak it, Well, this is the

52
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to listen because he's actually talking to you. There's

53
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>a reason why you're listening to this podcast right now.

54
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 1>There's a reason why somebody said, Hey, John, Joey Jane,

55
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>check out this podcast. This guy's a former stand up

56
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>comedian and an actor. But he's talking very biblically. I

57
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>think you'll like this guy because I never know what

58
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna say next. Listen. I'm gonna be honest with

59
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 1>you guys out there in podcast land. I never know

60
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>what I'm gonna say next. Okay, it's delivered by the

61
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>good old Lord. All right. It's always been that way.

62
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>When I was a stand up comic. So that's what

63
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 1>we do here on the show is we take those

64
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>good old verses and we talk about topics like the

65
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>four hundred years of silence from God, and what we

66
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 1>do is we wrap around testimony of my life, your life,

67
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>collective world around us in hopes of transformation for myself

68
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and you guys out there. Okay, it's like sitting down

69
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>at a dinner table and now we finished dinner, we're

70
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna have dessert, and you're like, all right, why do

71
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you look so good? Or why is your job working

72
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>so well for you? Why is your marriage working so well? Well,

73
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>now we're going to discuss it, and now you're going

74
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to wonder why the whole thing comes together, and that's

75
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>because of God. So let's talk a little bit about

76
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 1>our topic today, which is the four hundred years of

77
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>silence that God gave from the Old Testament. At the end,

78
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>which was the Book of Malachi starting to be one

79
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 1>of my favorites. It's only about, you know, four chapters long.

80
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>So if you're new and you're looking for a book

81
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>to read, start in Malachi. If you want it's only

82
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 1>a couple chapters, Okay, then go to the Book of proverbs.

83
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like little fortune cookies for you. And

84
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 1>each and every one of those chapters is designed around

85
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>each and every day of the month. There's thirty one

86
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>proverbs hmmm, and almost thirty one days and every month.

87
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>So something for you to think about. Then move on

88
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>to the New Testament. This is where you'll get to

89
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>know Jesus through his disciples, which is fantastic. But today

90
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 1>that four hundred years of silence, that's interesting, right. Here's

91
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>God in the whole Old Testament trying to speak through Noah,

92
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Adam and Eve, through the wars and famine, the kings,

93
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>through slavery. He tried to speak. He's kind of like

94
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that dad that kept trying to show you listen, you

95
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 1>need to listen. Listen, you need to listen. Listen. He

96
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>starts shaking it and you don't listen, and then all

97
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden he goes quiet. I don't know about you,

98
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>but my father in the past, when I wouldn't listen

99
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 1>to him and he goes silent and just kind of

100
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>sit in his chair, that's when I really tried to listen.

101
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 1>So going from the Old Testament to the New Testament,

102
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>which is getting ready to have the birth of the Messiah,

103
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ, and things there are going to come. All

104
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>these things in the Old Testament had to happen in

105
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>order to get to the New Testament. But why was

106
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 1>he quiet? Well, like a good father, he wanted you

107
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to come to him. And this may be that opportunity

108
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 1>right now for you non believers out there. You're going

109
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>through a period in your life where it's quiet, nothing's moving.

110
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>You may be banging your head against the ceiling and

111
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 1>wondering what's next for you. You can't get to the

112
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 1>next part of your life. You can't get that promotion,

113
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 1>you can't get that spouse, and you're fighting with your parents,

114
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>or you're fighting with your girlfriend or boyfriend. And even

115
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>though the world may sound chaotic in the outside world,

116
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>your inside is really quiet because He's waiting for you

117
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 1>to come to him and speak to him and talk

118
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 1>to him. This is the same thing during that four

119
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 1>hundred years of silence. I really believe in it. I

120
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>believe this is where God saying, I want you guys

121
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to come to me now. I want you to seek me.

122
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>For instance, I was sick a couple months ago. About

123
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 1>a month ago, I went through about seven days of

124
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>absolute heck, I never felt so worse in my life,

125
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>never felt so worse in my life, And all of

126
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, I was wondering why I wasn't feeling well

127
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>well those seven days. I didn't pick up a Bible.

128
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I was speaking to him through prayer, but it wasn't

129
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 1>deep rooted prayer. It was more like protect from the

130
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>other family members in my house not to get sick.

131
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't deep rooted prayer where I was trying to

132
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 1>develop that relationship with him. Because this is about a relationship,

133
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not about a religion. That's what I want you

134
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to know to start things off. When it comes to

135
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 1>getting to know God, getting to know Jesus, the way

136
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>to the Father is through Jesus. So what's the best

137
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 1>way to get to know the Father, No, Jesus. Develop

138
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 1>that relationship today, and that's what you're doing by listening

139
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to a podcast like this. So during that four hundred

140
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>years of silence, this is where people should be coming

141
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to him. Now, God didn't speak to us through prophets

142
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 1>at that time or teachers. People may have been trying

143
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to seek God at that time, still obeying in his laws,

144
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>but then had to come something in the world to

145
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>really wake them up up. And that was the birth

146
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>of Jesus Christ. For he is the way to the Father.

147
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>So that four hundred years of silence is like what

148
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 1>we go through every day. And when I was sick,

149
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 1>it was quiet. I got tired of watching the same

150
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>TV shows and I got bored in the house, and

151
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 1>I probably should have been turning to the Lord in

152
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 1>my Bible and just reading. There was silence, and in

153
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that silence, I should have come to him toward the

154
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>end of my sickness a little bit. Toward the end,

155
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I was feeling a little bit better. I started opening

156
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 1>up the Bible, I was reading a little more, trying

157
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 1>to do some of my online studies. I started feeling better.

158
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Now what you're saying, oh, you're telling me right now, Katie,

159
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 1>If I just believe that it'll happen, well, it depends

160
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>on what what you're believing for. If you're believing for healing,

161
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you're dealing for transformation, you're dealing you're believing for renewal

162
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 1>in your life and a relationship or a job or

163
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>wherever he may be. If you believe in Jesus Christ

164
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 1>and the power of Jesus Christ. There ain't anything he

165
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 1>can't do. Now. Also a little side note there, we

166
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>say on this show every once in a while, he

167
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 1>won't give you the whole Hershey bar at first. He's

168
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you a little morsel. He's gonna give you

169
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a Hershey kiss from time to time because he wants

170
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to see you digest that first. He's gonna give you

171
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>something and see if you appreciate it at that time.

172
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Because you know what it's like giving a kid a

173
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>chocolate bar, right, you can give a young kid, say

174
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>like a three year old chocolate bar. He's going to

175
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 1>devour that whole thing in two minutes. He doesn't know

176
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>any better to say. I'm gonna eat a little bit now,

177
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>eat a little bit later, i'm' let it digest. I'll

178
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 1>lead a little bit more, and then all of a sudden,

179
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>when happens to that kid, we get sick. Right, it's

180
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the same thing in our lives. He doesn't want that

181
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>for us. He doesn't want us to get sick. So

182
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to have you consume any more than

183
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>your digestive system can handle. And that includes the things

184
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>that you read, the things that you listen to, the

185
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 1>things that you hear. You may only listen to those

186
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>podcast this week. It's a start. You may turn on

187
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 1>a TikTok and all of a sudden there's a video

188
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 1>by Brandon Lake or a Christian artist you've never heard of,

189
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, oh, I like that song. It sounds

190
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.759
<v Speaker 1>like so and so, just like at the top of

191
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>the show you heard l Cray that songs called the Drop.

192
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Lacree could be an artist on the Billboard charts in

193
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the secular world. He really could. He could be somebody

194
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.279
<v Speaker 1>that's up there with the likes of Taylor Swift, this

195
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and that and the other thing. But he chose that

196
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>road for the Lord. Now it's time for you to

197
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>choose a road not just for yourself, but for the Lord.

198
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>And you have by starting out with this program. So

199
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the four hundred years of Silence happens. Have you ever

200
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 1>had silence in your life? I know single mothers out there,

201
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 1>You're like, I have chaos every day. Even in the beginning.

202
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 1>In the Book of Genesis, chapter one, it says in

203
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the beginning right, and when you move on to chapter one,

204
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 1>verse two, it talks about there was complete darkness over

205
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the waters and God was starting to create the world

206
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.759
<v Speaker 1>at this time. You don't think there wasn't chaos. Then

207
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the waters started churning, the world started moving. But to God,

208
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that's not chaotic. In the midst of chaos, who was

209
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.960
<v Speaker 1>in the center of it? God? When God was creating

210
00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 1>the world, it was silent. Do you know that the

211
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Lord wants you to come to him in your quiet times?

212
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 1>This all ties in. It makes sense now, doesn't it.

213
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Not even just the four hundred years of silence from

214
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 1>the Old Testament to the New Testament, but silence in

215
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 1>your life, silence to develop a relationship with the Lord.

216
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>It even says in Luke chapter five, verse sixteen. But

217
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Jesus often withdrew to a lonely places and prayed. If

218
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Jesus went somewhere where it was quiet to pray, which

219
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>he was drawing closer to his father, why wouldn't we

220
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing to develop this relationship with Jesus Christ,

221
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>find a quiet time to go pray. I don't care

222
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>if you've never picked up a Bible. I don't care

223
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know how to read the Bible. We

224
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.759
<v Speaker 1>all know how to talk. And when we close our

225
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 1>eyes and just say Jesus helped me. Guess what you

226
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:20.679
<v Speaker 1>just prayed. I'm a big believer in prayer. You want

227
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to be rich in life, be po. You know when

228
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 1>you kind of broke, you say, I'm po right, Well,

229
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 1>I have an acronym for that, Poe Poe. Pray over

230
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.559
<v Speaker 1>everything you wonder why you're having a bad day. I mean,

231
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Monday mornings started out for me. Okay, I literally felt

232
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:45.679
<v Speaker 1>like Garfield. Okay, I hate Mondays all right, because I

233
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.639
<v Speaker 1>woke up with all the great intentions of praying with

234
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the Lord, reading my Bible, grabbing my wife's hand, giving

235
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>her a kiss, saying hello to the kids. But we

236
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 1>had a plumbing problem and I had to fix it

237
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 1>right then and there, which took four hours. And I realized,

238
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>in that quiet time when my family left the house

239
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 1>to allow me to fix this thing, I needed to

240
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.559
<v Speaker 1>come to God. I took a quick, little quiet drive

241
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to home depot, which all us men love, right, it's

242
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 1>not quiet when it comes to our pocketbooks. At the

243
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 1>end of that trip, right, and all of a sudden,

244
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I had this amazing prayer time in my truck. And

245
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I got home and I turned on Zach Williams' music

246
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.799
<v Speaker 1>in the background. It's kind of seemed like I'm talking

247
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to myself, but I'm talking to God. And the project

248
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 1>went pretty smoothly. He just wanted me to be with

249
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>him in those quiet times. Now, don't get me wrong,

250
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>in the quiet times, the opposition can come to and

251
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>really attack your thoughts. Oh, this is what you're doing.

252
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh you want to get to know Jesus. Okay, you

253
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>do that. You do that and see what happens. And

254
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:14.799
<v Speaker 1>then your mind's like, what do you mean, I'll see

255
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.519
<v Speaker 1>what happens. Because once the opposition gets in between the

256
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.799
<v Speaker 1>ears and sneaks in, like the serpent that he is,

257
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>through the nooks and crannies of our life, he tries

258
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.159
<v Speaker 1>to break it apart. Tried to break apart that day

259
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:31.159
<v Speaker 1>for me because he knew I had an amazing day

260
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>at church and we had church meetings on that Sunday,

261
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and then Monday came and I had great intentions to

262
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 1>be with the Lord and get some work done with

263
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 1>my student ministry and do these podcasts. And then all

264
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, you're gonna have a problem with your plumbing,

265
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and I know you hate dealing with stuff like that.

266
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna come after you we don't even know it, guys.

267
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>But in the quiet times, the opposition can try to

268
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>manipulate you. But in the quiet times, when we go

269
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 1>toward the Lord in prayer and develop that relationship, man,

270
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>anything can happen. That's what happened during this four hundred

271
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 1>years of silence, four hundred years of silence, and at

272
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the end became the New Testament in the birth of Jesus,

273
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Christ came to be the savior of the world. Now,

274
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>during that four hundred years there were kings that were

275
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 1>trying to dominate the land and do bad things to

276
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 1>the people, in slave people, things of that nature. That

277
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.319
<v Speaker 1>was the serpent, That was the opposition trying to get

278
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 1>into their lives. But it is finished. And when you

279
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 1>know the Bible and you know the next chapter, you

280
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 1>have nothing to worry about. And when you go to

281
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the Lord in those quiet times, just like we talked

282
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 1>about in Luke chapter five, verse sixteen, I love that.

283
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.200
<v Speaker 1>But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. We

284
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 1>should be doing the same thing, should be doing the

285
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 1>same thing. You can move on to other verses such

286
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.440
<v Speaker 1>as Psalms forty six ten. Be still and know that

287
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I am God. If you just be still and say, Lord,

288
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:20.319
<v Speaker 1>let me feel your presence. I've never prayed before. I

289
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:24.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know you, but I want to get to know you. You're

290
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna feel an overwhelming, calming presence come upon your soul.

291
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe that I've seen that, I've felt that, and

292
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I want you to feel the same thing. Psalms forty

293
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 1>six to ten goes on to say, be still and

294
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.319
<v Speaker 1>know that I am God. I will be exalted among

295
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the nations, and I'll be exalted in the earth. Means

296
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:58.079
<v Speaker 1>he'll be known everywhere Psalms sixty two, verse one. Truly,

297
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.839
<v Speaker 1>my soul finds rest in God. When do we rest

298
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the quiet times? Right we go to bed at night,

299
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:13.279
<v Speaker 1>when everything is settled and is quiet. Truly, my soul

300
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 1>finds rest in God. My salvation comes from Him. It's wonderful.

301
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 1>And finally, Mark chapter one, verse thirty five. Very early

302
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up,

303
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.319
<v Speaker 1>left the house and went off to a solitary place,

304
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:43.559
<v Speaker 1>solitary confined just with him and the Father, where he prayed.

305
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 1>This ties back in the Luke five verse sixteen, but

306
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Mark one

307
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 1>thirty five goes on saying these verses. The description of

308
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:01.880
<v Speaker 1>these verses where we were talking about guys, act as

309
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.680
<v Speaker 1>reminders in the power of the quiet time of God.

310
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>And boy, was there a great quiet time from the

311
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Old Testament to the New Testament where God didn't speak

312
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and it was quiet. I want to try something with you, guys,

313
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and we do this every year wherever you may be.

314
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you're in an office cubicle right now, don't do it.

315
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>If you're driving, all right, pull off to the side

316
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.119
<v Speaker 1>of the road. Maybe you're on the treadmill, get off

317
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>of that for a moment. We're just gonna have ten

318
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 1>seconds of quiet, no prayer, just quiet. Now. I want

319
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:53.039
<v Speaker 1>you to feel the presence of God in ten seconds.

320
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Ten seconds. I dare you. That's a phrase

321
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.759
<v Speaker 1>we have around here for everybody. We dare you. We

322
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.839
<v Speaker 1>dare you to ignite your fate. We dare you to start

323
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 1>your faith. We dare you to grow your faith with

324
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.759
<v Speaker 1>things like this. Ten seconds of your life. That's all

325
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking for. Ten seconds of quiet. You always complain

326
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>about it. I don't have time to just sit and

327
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be quiet. Yeah you do, Yeah you do. I mean

328
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:19.720
<v Speaker 1>no offense. You've wasted twenty two minutes on this podcast.

329
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's not a waste. It's not

330
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>a waste. So I want ten seconds from you to

331
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 1>be with the Lord, and we're going to start in

332
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:48.559
<v Speaker 1>three two one. I want you to know that was

333
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:57.799
<v Speaker 1>fifteen seconds. I want you to know that that peace

334
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:02.839
<v Speaker 1>you just felt it was God. That peace and that

335
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>comforting was from the Lord. For fifteen seconds. Did any

336
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 1>of you think of anything or did you just think

337
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:16.880
<v Speaker 1>about that moment in what was in it? That's the

338
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>question I want you to answer with yourself in your

339
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:26.359
<v Speaker 1>next quiet time. You can take fifteen seconds, you can

340
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 1>take longer than that. I remember at the beginning of

341
00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>the year, we were doing a fasting thing here in

342
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>our home, and I wanted my children and wife to

343
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:42.480
<v Speaker 1>pray upon their fast so we'd pray over it, and

344
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.039
<v Speaker 1>then I said, okay, you're going to have five minutes

345
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:46.759
<v Speaker 1>with the Lord. That's it. I don't care if you're

346
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:48.559
<v Speaker 1>walking around the backyard, I don't care if you're in

347
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 1>your room praying. Just five minutes me. I go into

348
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>my prayer closet, literally, my son, my eight year old,

349
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.839
<v Speaker 1>walks in the yard, my wife listens to music. My

350
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:08.400
<v Speaker 1>other son goes in, just lays down. But it goes

351
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 1>back to that rest. Right truly, my soul finds rest

352
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 1>in God. My salvation comes from Him. You just had

353
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.079
<v Speaker 1>salvation for fifteen seconds of your life. Could you imagine

354
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>what it would be like the rest of your life

355
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 1>if you gave your life over to Him? And maybe

356
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you be thinking about that right now. I need to

357
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 1>change my life. It's been too chaotic. And listen. It's

358
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:35.480
<v Speaker 1>not all rainbows and sunshines, kittens and marshmallows coming out

359
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of your dairy, or it's not because it is a

360
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.519
<v Speaker 1>hard walk. But man, when you're walking hard and you're

361
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.799
<v Speaker 1>in that piece, it is glorious because he's defending us.

362
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.279
<v Speaker 1>He's cloak, covering us with his love, defending us with

363
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>his shield and sword. So right now, wherever you may be,

364
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I ask you to pray after me. There's nothing magical

365
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>about it, but just a moment with you and God.

366
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Dear God, I come to you in the precious name

367
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:16.680
<v Speaker 1>of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Dear Lord, I am

368
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 1>not perfect. I stumble daily and I fall short of

369
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>the glory of God. I turned my life over to you.

370
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I needed to change. Please, I'm ready to make you

371
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:39.440
<v Speaker 1>my personal Lord and savior of my life. Make me

372
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 1>new Lord, cleanse me. Now. I believe you were real.

373
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I believe you were born. I believe you had died,

374
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 1>and I believe you have risen for my victory and yours.

375
00:24:55.480 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Dear Lord, help me take over my soul today. Amen.

376
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you just repeated that welcome, Welcome to the kingdom.

377
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>He's been waiting for you. Next step, find a place
