<v Speaker 1>Wild wild, wild wild, And what did you just stumble upon? Right?

24
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>You may be an atheist, a non believer. Maybe you're

25
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>somebody that's really deep in the faith and you're like,

26
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>this is not.

27
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>A biblical podcast. It is no way.

28
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>There is the caman with some hippitie hoppity noise. Well, listen,

29
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>calm down. I want to get us all together around

30
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the table. Okay, believer, non believer, full believer, someone just

31
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of dipping their toes in for the first time.

32
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Come here. We have a phrase around here. That phrase

33
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 2>is we dare you. We dare you to start your faith,

34
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>reignite your faith, continue your faith with us as we

35
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 2>dig into the scriptures of the good old Bible, the

36
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>basic Constructions before leaving Earth Manual, and we lace those

37
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>scriptures around your life, my life, and the collective world

38
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>around us with the forms of let's just say, transparency

39
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>testimony in the hopes of transformation. Sounds good, right, I thought.

40
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>So we practiced that a few times, especially recording today.

41
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Don't get me started, but today we're going to talk

42
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a couple things that have been

43
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>going on in my life and We're going to talk

44
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>about a simple phrase. We see it on coffee mugs,

45
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>we see it in stores and T shirts, we see

46
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>it online all the time. And some of you atheists

47
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>and non believers out there with this phrase, you giggle

48
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>and you probably just scroll right pass. And that is

49
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 2>let go and let God simple.

50
00:02:58.800 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Right.

51
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I believe we've talked about this before on the podcast,

52
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>but I want to talk about something that happened with

53
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>me and casting my fears and anxieties to the side

54
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>a couple years ago, and something that's been happening to

55
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>me this year. When I went into prayer at the

56
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the year, I always try to meditate and

57
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>pray on a word that God will give me to

58
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>work on. At first it was fear. Then he gave

59
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 2>me rest. And we'll talk about those two words in

60
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, and we're going to talk about something

61
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>that happened to me last night. To start things off.

62
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 2>I run a small group for our church and it's

63
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>a men's group. It's called Band of Brothers. Big shout

64
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 2>out to my band of brothers, all right, if you're

65
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>out there listening, And it's exactly that, where a group

66
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>of us men of all ages come together and we

67
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 2>express things going on in our life and we lace

68
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>it around a topic at that time. Well, last night

69
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about fear anxiety, and it's going to

70
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>go into our letting go, letting God sub check today.

71
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>So last night we're talking about fear and a gentleman

72
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 2>was late to the discussion and we were in the

73
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 2>middle of talking about spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare is real, Okay.

74
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>You ever felt like something's pulling you one way and

75
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 2>then pulling you the other. You're in a battle. You've

76
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>ever seen the cartoon Tom and Jerry, And I'm not lying,

77
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>we've used this before where Tom has the devil Jerry

78
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 2>on one shoulder and he has the God or angel

79
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, Jerry on the other. That's spiritual warfare right

80
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>in front of your face, showing your kids growing up.

81
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>But we don't see a lot of that anymore. We

82
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>are in the midst of a battle, and this is

83
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 2>where we got to let go and let God. Well,

84
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>this gentleman was going through a battle. The session started

85
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>at six thirty pm and he showed up a round

86
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>seven and he said, I'm sorry, I'm late. You know,

87
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I just had this overwhelming heaviness on me, and I

88
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.240
<v Speaker 2>felt tired, and I ended up falling asleep a little bit.

89
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Then taking my children to the park, and I didn't

90
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 2>feel like playing with them. I just I felt weird

91
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 2>and I felt like something was holding me back. And

92
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>then my mother had called me and said, aren't you

93
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 2>supposed to go to that Band of Brothers group tonight?

94
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, yeah, but I'm with the kids, you know,

95
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 2>and I should be spending time with them, even though

96
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't doing anything with them, and he even admitted this,

97
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, he felt this lifting spirit.

98
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 2>He said, say you need to go well. In the

99
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 2>midst of that testimony, he was telling us we just

100
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>got done talking about spiritual warfare. The opposition wants to

101
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>put fear in your life, anxiety and depression and all

102
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>those negative things to hold you back. We got to

103
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>remember something and I love this phrase. This is from

104
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>one of my friends at church. His name's Juan. Big

105
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Shot out to him. He has a phrase that I

106
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>have written up in our podcast wall and it says,

107
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>our fear is based on an assumption. Let that set

108
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 2>in our fear is based on an assumption. For instance,

109
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I used to have the fear of flying. Now I

110
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>could fly all over. I'm a former stand up comedian.

111
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I used to go city to city, town to town.

112
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I worked in the world of NASCAR where I was

113
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>a host and I would be a mouthpiece at these

114
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 2>races all over the United States. And I flew every

115
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 2>weekend by myself, no problem. But I have a problem

116
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 2>when my family was with me. You see, because I

117
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 2>had a fear or an assumption something was going to

118
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>happen to us all and see, that assumption led to fear.

119
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>It started to develop inside of you, and it starts

120
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 2>to grip and hold you back from God. When we're

121
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 2>walking in fear, anxiety and negative things, this is where

122
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>the opposition wants you. And by the way, opposition definition

123
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>on this show and in my vocabulary, means the devil,

124
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 2>plain and simple, the deceiver, the evil one, the snake

125
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 2>in the garden. I say opposition because I don't want

126
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>to give him the power of a title or a name,

127
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>because there's only one title in one power that is

128
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 2>higher than those, and that's God and our King Jesus

129
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Christ Almighty. So our fear is based on an assumption.

130
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 2>And like I said, this show is about letting go

131
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>and letting God right. So during this meet up with

132
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>the Band of Brothers, and by the way, you need

133
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a group of people to be around to express life

134
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>with man, if you go back and listen to some

135
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 2>of our other shows, I was in a state where

136
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 2>I didn't believe that. Ever since that, I have been

137
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:03.079
<v Speaker 2>around a great group, a good church, great leaders. I'm

138
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 2>now leading a group called Band of Brothers.

139
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 1>See.

140
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>God has a sense of humor, Absolutely he does. He

141
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>knows what he's doing. But we got to trust in

142
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>him to let go and let God to cast away

143
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>these fears of anxieties, depressions in our life. And you're like, Katie,

144
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 2>that's easy. Yeah, that's easy for you. That's simple. Oh

145
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>how do I just let go? You got to pray

146
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 2>for it. I am a big advocate for prayer, and

147
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 2>I think the next show we're going to talk about

148
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.399
<v Speaker 2>prayer a little bit more. And I have a phrase

149
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>that I use and a lot of the people in

150
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>our church love it. Some of you listeners love it.

151
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I've had emails where some of you guys have said,

152
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 2>I've written this down, it's on my phone, and I

153
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that. That's very humbling. And that phrase is you

154
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 2>want to be rich in life, you have to be

155
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>po first. Poe and broke, poe and broken. Now my

156
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>form of poe is spelled p e. Pray over everything,

157
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 2>and I mean everything. You're feeling anxious, Lord, I don't

158
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 2>know what this feeling is. You know what's on my heart, mind, body,

159
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 2>and soul. Please help me. You non believers out there,

160
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>thou shalt not task God, but you can question God.

161
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Dear Lord, if you are real. I pray right now

162
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>for my anxiety to be lifted. But you got to

163
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>believe in it. If you're just saying it, to say

164
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 2>it like you're rubbing some kind of magic lamp, it's

165
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 2>not going to work. It's not. And this is why

166
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 2>we're a big advocate on this program about building a

167
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 2>personal relationship with Jesus. Now, my fear was of heights

168
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 2>and flying. I have a problem with contral too. I

169
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 2>used to not like going on roller coasters because I

170
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>don't have control. I'm not flying that plane. Sometimes I

171
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 2>have a problem when other people are driving. It's a

172
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:14.840
<v Speaker 2>control thing. But there's nobody in our life that's controlling

173
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>us other than Jesus Christ and our father above, and

174
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 2>when we ask for the Holy Spirit to be in

175
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>that situation, there is a lifting calmness where it's like

176
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 2>it's okay because when we let go and let God,

177
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>we're not worrying about that stuff. We just saw Easter

178
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 2>pass right. And in the Bible, in the Book of Acts,

179
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 2>it talks about the disciples waiting for they were I

180
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say the word waiting. They just got

181
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>done seeing Jesus nailed to the cross, whipped, beaten, killed.

182
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 2>They saw his left last breath come out of his body. Right,

183
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.360
<v Speaker 2>we know the story of the crucifixion, but I want

184
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>you to think about the disciples after that. And I'm

185
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna think I'm gonna do a show called The Morning

186
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 2>After on here. I think we're going to do a

187
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>show called the Morning After. The Morning after the Crucifixion.

188
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 2>What was going through their minds? Anxiety, depression, sadness, fear,

189
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 2>fear of what's to come, depressed and sad of what

190
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>they just saw, anxious for what's going to happen to

191
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>them in the world around them.

192
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You see.

193
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 2>All these things happened to the disciples, Why wouldn't they

194
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>happen to you? But even Jesus returned and asked the disciples, basically,

195
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>what is wrong with you? Guys, Mary, why are you weeping?

196
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>When Mary was the first one to see him at

197
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 2>the tomb, why are you weeping? We forget that God

198
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>has it all and we just have to let go.

199
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.320
<v Speaker 2>And the moment that they let go, they were put

200
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>on the great commission. God led them. They had a

201
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>platform for him to go out and spread the gospel

202
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 2>for His honor, his glory. Just imagine if you can

203
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:27.559
<v Speaker 2>just let go and again to be rich in life,

204
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 2>you got to be po pray over everything. And I

205
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>truly believe that, guys. When I was getting on airplanes

206
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>having no problem, there was a moment two years ago

207
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>that I'm going to share with you that I got

208
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 2>on an airplane headed to and it's funny. I look

209
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 2>down on my keyboard and all of a sudden there's

210
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>a picture of an airplane. Really funny because of airplane mode.

211
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:52.919
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

212
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>But I could have looked anywhere else. The battery, you

213
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 2>know the letters, and you know God's in control. He

214
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 2>made me look at the airplane to remind you of

215
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.799
<v Speaker 2>this story. So when we're returned after the break, I

216
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 2>want to share with you that something that almost crippled

217
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>me from sharing the gospel for the Lord because of fear.

218
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Here's the music of I needed this, Dave, and I

219
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>needed this Lord. I need to see some blue skies

220
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>when we return my testimony of fear.

221
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Futher andnqush oh oh my pushion, Jesus, shy blues guy,

222
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 3>blues guy, Oh God on me blue.

223
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Lose.

224
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.279
<v Speaker 3>I was on it to die. So there's a man

225
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.679
<v Speaker 3>I can never cry. Shame in my heart and pride

226
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 3>in my eyes. Will you break the silence?

227
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.879
<v Speaker 1>You tear down the lines, Lord I.

228
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:18.159
<v Speaker 3>Feel, Please lead me back to the little Cross.

229
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Jesus need blues booz guys, Oh God, I.

230
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Need blues bocuse Tom keeps slipping because like and nothing,

231
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 3>the world keep judging the worth of my life. They

232
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 3>call me a failure, wasted past. For your grace is spoken,

233
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.799
<v Speaker 3>your love will lies. My skin is my heartiest gas.

234
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.919
<v Speaker 3>I feel every fear of the move man's past for you,

235
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.399
<v Speaker 3>O my future. You hear my past. No mercy reminds

236
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 3>me that's Dove's doll. Jesus, I'm running, running a seal.

237
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Leave me on the bottom, praying with all minds are

238
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:19.960
<v Speaker 3>lifted and dogs take me through the storm.

239
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 2>And show me blues. God, oh God, what a perfect

240
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>song to express what we've been talking about. God, show

241
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:34.159
<v Speaker 2>me blue skies. And in the midst of this, he's

242
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 2>talking about his fears, his depression, and he lifts his

243
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>hands God asking for blue skies. Right now, you may

244
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 2>have that free that fear, anxiety, depression, that darkness looming

245
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>over your life. And all you gotta do is go

246
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.240
<v Speaker 2>to blue skies. That's it, by prayer, lifting your hands.

247
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>You don't even have to do it in front of people.

248
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to expressed it. If you've ever done that.

249
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Just go someplace quiet, because I love what he says

250
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 2>in the Bible. Come to me in quiet moments. That

251
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.679
<v Speaker 2>is the most intimate time that you can start your

252
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.240
<v Speaker 2>relationship with Christ one hundred percent. So I told you

253
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.519
<v Speaker 2>before the break that we're going to talk a little

254
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.559
<v Speaker 2>bit about my testimony of fear and how it almost

255
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>crippled me a couple of years ago. Now, I talked

256
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:25.279
<v Speaker 2>about my I guess my fear of heights and flying.

257
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I always had this silly feeling that I don't want

258
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.799
<v Speaker 2>to fly or even fly across an ocean, because one

259
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.440
<v Speaker 2>of my fears is I don't want to end up

260
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>like Tom Hanks on Castaway, all right, I don't want

261
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.399
<v Speaker 2>to be eaten by a shark. These are silly things, right,

262
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you this, and it sounds silly, but it's

263
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 2>a fear and we've got to open up our hands

264
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 2>to blue skies and say, Lord, I'm letting go, just

265
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 2>that simple. I'm letting go take over in my life,

266
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>take over my fears and anxiety. Well, I got on

267
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>the plane to go visit my father because some of

268
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.519
<v Speaker 2>you know the story that my father is very ill

269
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 2>and currently he's probably got about three to six months

270
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to live. In about two years ago, I kind of

271
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 2>heard the same story, and fear went into my mind.

272
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, is he going to die tomorrow next week?

273
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Is he going to die on the way as I'm

274
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 2>traveling there? And I got on the airplane to fly there. Well,

275
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 2>several months before that, I've been praying to God about

276
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.279
<v Speaker 2>this trip, and I felt a sense of don't get

277
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.160
<v Speaker 2>on a plane, not because something bad was gonna happen.

278
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I just needed to obey guy God. And all of

279
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>a sudden I didn't obey him, and we hit something

280
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>at forty eight thousand feet. Now, I was in prayer

281
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 2>at the time before that happened. I felt something like

282
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:52.359
<v Speaker 2>a little thud, and I'm like, ah, that happens all

283
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.119
<v Speaker 2>the time. Had my earphones on, I'm listening to my

284
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Christian music, had my Bible open. I was all set.

285
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I was with God.

286
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.079
<v Speaker 2>But I look to the right and I see ultimate

287
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 2>fear on my wife's face. She tells me to take

288
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>my earplugs out.

289
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I did.

290
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>She goes, did you hear what they said? They're gonna

291
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.200
<v Speaker 2>turn back around? We hit something. She's looking at me

292
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 2>with this sense of fear. My son, my second oldest,

293
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.440
<v Speaker 2>was grabbing her hand, just comforting her. And then of

294
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.519
<v Speaker 2>course my youngest at the time, he was six years old,

295
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.480
<v Speaker 2>He's like, let's do it again, you know, like.

296
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:29.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a roller coaster.

297
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Can you see the difference in all of this. My

298
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 2>wife was an absolute fear, and then my youngest was

299
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 2>just letting go like a child, like we're gonna be okay,

300
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 2>but no matter what, I know, we're gonna be with God.

301
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Like we've got to remember that. We've got to remember

302
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that that when you develop your personal relationship with Christ

303
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 2>and you turn your life over to Christ. What's gonna

304
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>harm you, what's gonna hurt you? As long as we

305
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:11.039
<v Speaker 2>let go to Him, these fears, anxieties, problems will feel

306
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:19.240
<v Speaker 2>so minuscule, if not feel like a child myself. I

307
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 2>was in prayer and I was nervous. I was a

308
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.720
<v Speaker 2>little scared at the time. But as soon as I

309
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 2>got back into the Bible and I started praying, put

310
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:33.000
<v Speaker 2>my head set back on. My wife said, the plane

311
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 2>shook for forty five minutes. I didn't feel it. I

312
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.240
<v Speaker 2>was in prayer, and that shows you right there, because

313
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I was letting go to God and I didn't feel anything.

314
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 2>I was praying over the people on the plane, praying

315
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:59.680
<v Speaker 2>over the plane, praying for the weather we landed. She

316
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:01.039
<v Speaker 2>looked that mean, says, I don't want to get back

317
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:03.000
<v Speaker 2>on the plane, And I said, I understand. I don't

318
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:04.759
<v Speaker 2>blame it. Neither do I because a little bit of

319
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>fear was still in me. And we drove five thousand miles.

320
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 2>We were like disciples, all right. We just drove instead

321
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:19.079
<v Speaker 2>of walked. Went to New York. We got to see

322
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 2>some great spiritual experiences with a family in Ohio. With

323
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.039
<v Speaker 2>my family, I was able to share that testimony and

324
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 2>show how great God truly is. And guess what, I

325
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:39.160
<v Speaker 2>have a family of a lot of non believers. Can

326
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you imagine if that fear crippled us and we didn't go,

327
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and we continued to disobey God. It all started with

328
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 2>me disobeying him, not listening to the prayers of him, saying, eh,

329
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't want you to get on a plane. He

330
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>wanted us to drive so we could affect more lives

331
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.079
<v Speaker 2>that testimony. And I know what you're thinking, Oh, what

332
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:02.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of God would do that? Listen, there are times

333
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.759
<v Speaker 2>that your family members, friends, people in your job, your

334
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 2>bosses will test you and what you think is a

335
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.440
<v Speaker 2>cruel way. I didn't think it was a cruel way.

336
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 2>I looked at it differently. I looked at it as

337
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a disobedience when I should have listened to him the

338
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>first time. Don't put your hand on the stove. Don't

339
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:23.519
<v Speaker 2>put your hand on the stove. I told you.

340
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I told you not.

341
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.759
<v Speaker 2>To put your hand on the hot stove. He's such

342
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:31.880
<v Speaker 2>a good father. But we want to do things on

343
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.839
<v Speaker 2>our own accord. We want to fight fear, we want

344
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.799
<v Speaker 2>to fight anxiety, we want to fight depression on our own.

345
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.440
<v Speaker 2>We want to turn to medications. We want to turn

346
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.440
<v Speaker 2>to gurus that are like you are.

347
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Better than this.

348
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.720
<v Speaker 2>And you know self help books. There's one good self

349
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 2>help book. It's called the Bible. It is called the Bible.

350
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 2>And what does the Bible say about? How about letting

351
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 2>go and letting God? Simple ones, simple things we forget

352
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 2>one Peter Chapter five, verse seven. Casting all your anxieties

353
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:09.559
<v Speaker 2>on him because he cares for you. Casting all your

354
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.480
<v Speaker 2>anxieties on him because he cares for you. Simple right,

355
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Philippians four six. This was shared by the gentleman that

356
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.519
<v Speaker 2>started his testimony before we had to break. Do not

357
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 2>be anxious about anything. The Bible talks about anxiety, depression, fear.

358
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Why because those are the tools of the opposition. This

359
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:39.599
<v Speaker 2>is not of God Philippians chapter three, verses twelve through fourteen.

360
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Not that I have already obtained this or I am

361
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.799
<v Speaker 2>already perfect. But I press on make it my own,

362
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:54.599
<v Speaker 2>because Jesus Christ has made me his own. Brothers, I

363
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 2>do not consider that I have made it on my own.

364
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 2>But one thing I do is forgetting what lies behind

365
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.839
<v Speaker 2>and straining forward to what lies ahead. I love this

366
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:13.119
<v Speaker 2>because we think it's a destination. The word lies. You

367
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:17.960
<v Speaker 2>break this down forgetting what lies behind the lies that

368
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 2>we're told. When you jumped into that fear because of

369
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>an assumption that's a lie. Oh, something bad's going to happen.

370
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:31.319
<v Speaker 2>That's a lie. That's a lie. Do bad things happen? Sure,

371
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.160
<v Speaker 2>just like it did with me. But it was a

372
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:39.000
<v Speaker 2>teachable moment because I did not let go and let God.

373
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Then it goes on to saying straining forward to what

374
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 2>lies ahead, preparing you for the lies that are coming ahead.

375
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Lies are going to come, fears are going to come,

376
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Anxiety is going to come. Everybody thinks that just because

377
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:58.400
<v Speaker 2>you're walking with God once and he gets you through it,

378
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:00.519
<v Speaker 2>and you say, yeah, I don't need you anymore, that

379
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.880
<v Speaker 2>it won't come again. Even as I'm walking with Christ,

380
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I know that these things come daily. But I sit

381
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Speaker 2>there in the midst of God with his arms open wide.

382
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I can see him with a shield and sword protecting me, saying, Hey,

383
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I know that you just thought about something bad that fear. Hey,

384
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna cast it away, bam one Peter chapter five,

385
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.240
<v Speaker 2>verse seven. Casting all your anxieties upon him because he

386
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.440
<v Speaker 2>cares for you leads to Philippians chapter three verses twelve

387
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.720
<v Speaker 2>through fourteen, when it says, forgetting what lies behind and

388
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:43.680
<v Speaker 2>straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward

389
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the goal for the prize of the upward call of

390
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 2>God in Christ Jesus.

391
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

392
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.319
<v Speaker 2>You know what's funny about this and the reason why

393
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 2>I got so excited on that. And we'll close with this.

394
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I did not read these verses ahead of time. If

395
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you you guys know this podcast, I'm sharing and reading

396
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.279
<v Speaker 2>this as we're going, and he hits me like a

397
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.200
<v Speaker 2>ton of bricks sometimes, and he just did right there

398
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.880
<v Speaker 2>with that last phrase, I press on toward the goal

399
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:20.400
<v Speaker 2>for the prize of the upward Call of Jesus Christ.

400
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean? Well, go back to my story.

401
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.319
<v Speaker 2>We landed, we pressed forward, We got into a van.

402
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe we made it five thousand miles because

403
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:35.119
<v Speaker 2>we came back. We had something wrong with the engine

404
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.400
<v Speaker 2>and the guy said, I can't believe that you went

405
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 2>five thousand miles on your engine like this. That's God,

406
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.880
<v Speaker 2>because we let go, stayed in prayer, continue to do

407
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:51.039
<v Speaker 2>cast our anxieties upon him. First Peter toward the goal

408
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:54.079
<v Speaker 2>and the prize of the call of God. And that

409
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:57.960
<v Speaker 2>was to spread this testimony of how great God is

410
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:02.400
<v Speaker 2>in my life, my children's life, and my wife's life.

411
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't that sound so much better than locking yourself in

412
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 2>a room and allowing fear, anxiety, and depression to cripple you,

413
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 2>hurt you, break you down, and continue to beat you.

414
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>There's so many great verses in the Bible. I'm casting

415
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:23.880
<v Speaker 2>your fears and everything upon him Proverbs twenty nine to eleven.

416
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>A fool gives full vent to his spirit. This is perfect,

417
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:31.799
<v Speaker 2>perfect because when I was getting on the plane, and

418
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 2>I had told my wife part of the story, I

419
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:38.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't tell you. So let's rewind back to the story

420
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:41.640
<v Speaker 2>of me on the plane and I was praying that

421
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 2>we shouldn't have gotten on a prayer. Let me rephrase

422
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.240
<v Speaker 2>that I wasn't praying that I shouldn't get on a plane.

423
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.599
<v Speaker 2>I was feeling that we shouldn't get on a plane,

424
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.359
<v Speaker 2>as I'm praying to God. And that's because he wants

425
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>us to travel as a family, share life as a family,

426
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 2>and have many testimonies to share on the road. Now,

427
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:05.079
<v Speaker 2>a fool gives full vent into his spirit. I told

428
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 2>my wife I was feeling this way in prayer. I

429
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:11.880
<v Speaker 2>gave into my spirit. When we got on that plane,

430
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:13.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I know we shouldn't be on this plane.

431
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 2>I know we shouldn't be on this plane. I'm giving

432
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:20.559
<v Speaker 2>into that spirit of fear because our fear is based

433
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>on an assumption. I was assuming something bad was happened.

434
00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:27.279
<v Speaker 2>To finish Proverbs twenty nine to eleven. But a wise

435
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 2>man quietly holds it back. You see, when you come

436
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:36.680
<v Speaker 2>upon fear, depression, anxiety, negative things in your life, put

437
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.039
<v Speaker 2>it in your back pocket. Allow God to pick it

438
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 2>up and take it away. But you you, here's my

439
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:47.079
<v Speaker 2>shaking you moment. You have to have faith in Him

440
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:51.079
<v Speaker 2>that he will do it. You can't just come to

441
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.400
<v Speaker 2>him and assume that he's that genie in a lamp

442
00:27:55.519 --> 00:28:00.720
<v Speaker 2>like we discussed earlier. You have to know he's going

443
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to take it, and the best way to do that

444
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 2>is to know him personally, developing a personal relationship with

445
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Jesus Christ. You may not know how to do that.

446
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 2>First things. First, you have to give your life over

447
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 2>to God. You have to say, Lord, I need you

448
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.200
<v Speaker 2>to be my personal Lord and savior. I have stumbled

449
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:25.640
<v Speaker 2>and I've fallen short of the glory of God. Dear Lord,

450
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:29.559
<v Speaker 2>help me. I need you to be my savior, save me.

451
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.720
<v Speaker 2>And you're gonna feel different. You're gonna feel up lifting

452
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:38.160
<v Speaker 2>spirit that will start to lead you. But you gotta

453
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 2>follow that spirit. Your flesh is gonna fight it because

454
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:46.000
<v Speaker 2>we're in spiritual warfare. I talked about that to kick

455
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:49.240
<v Speaker 2>off this show. So many things have come together here

456
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 2>in this episode, and I truly want to thank you

457
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 2>guys for seeing it all come together the greater picture,

458
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:02.839
<v Speaker 2>from fear to anxiety to depression, How it cripples you,

459
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.240
<v Speaker 2>how negative things in life cripple you. But we've got

460
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:11.279
<v Speaker 2>to let go and let God truly believe in it.

461
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Ask him, Lord, take it over, take it away from me.

462
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't want it. Take that cross. Do you know?

463
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.240
<v Speaker 2>When he was walking up cavalry as he was being beaten,

464
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:31.240
<v Speaker 2>God gave him a helper. He gave him another person

465
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:35.039
<v Speaker 2>to help carry that cross. That person represents us. We

466
00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:37.519
<v Speaker 2>don't have to carry that cross alone. Jesus was right there,

467
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:43.480
<v Speaker 2>no matter how battered, beaten, or torn he was. I

468
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:48.359
<v Speaker 2>want you to know your past does not dictate your future,

469
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and He's calling you right now to a new place.

470
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.000
<v Speaker 2>And that new place is in the Kingdom of Heaven.

471
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:58.079
<v Speaker 2>How do I do it, Katie. Well, this is your

472
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 2>opportunity right now, or you may be cashed your fears

473
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and anxieties upon him. Cast your sins upon him. We

474
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:10.400
<v Speaker 2>saw sin and fall short of the glory of God.

475
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:14.759
<v Speaker 2>I love that phrase. I stumble. I hit my toes

476
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 2>on rocks all the time, but I say, Lord, I'm

477
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.279
<v Speaker 2>sorry forgive me. Show me not to stumble on that

478
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:22.920
<v Speaker 2>rock anymore. But right now I want you to do

479
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>something for you, not me, for you, for God. This

480
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.119
<v Speaker 2>is your first intimate moment with Him. I'm just a mediator.

481
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I ask for you to put your hands open, bow

482
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.599
<v Speaker 2>your heads. You may have never prayed in your life,

483
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:42.720
<v Speaker 2>but this is your moment, and just repeat after me,

484
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Dear God, I'm a sinner. I fall short daily of

485
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.039
<v Speaker 2>the glory of God. But I can't do this anymore.

486
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 2>I need a savior that saviors you. You. I cast

487
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:05.160
<v Speaker 2>all my fears, anxiety, depression, my sins upon you. Help

488
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.319
<v Speaker 2>me follow you, and to the end of my days,

489
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:12.720
<v Speaker 2>be my personal Lord and Savior. I believe you rose,

490
00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 2>you died, and you returned for your victory and mine

491
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:25.839
<v Speaker 2>take over my life right now. I love you, and

492
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.799
<v Speaker 2>we pray it the precious name of Jesus. Amen, Welcome,

493
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Kingdom. Now you got to work on

494
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.599
<v Speaker 2>your relationship with them. Get in the Bible, get into prayer.

495
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.160
