00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.759
<v Speaker 1>God will transform your life to today's message.

5
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Today it's going to be the last installment in a

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 2>series we've been in called Six Figures, which are six

7
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 2>figures that I believe God uses to expand our faith

8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 2>and grow us in a life of abundance. And today's

9
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>message is gonna be good because it's gonna help everybody.

10
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 2>How many people it's gonna help, Not everybody, it's gonna

11
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>help everybody, and that includes you now right now. If

12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>your heart has like proved something to me, passed them

13
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 2>like you not gonna get this, you gotta open up

14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>your heart to be able to receive.

15
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 3>And so what I thought about what would be the.

16
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Best thing to open up the heart of people about

17
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>a subject that they already are wrestling with, I said,

18
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I gotta put it in a package that they can

19
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 2>receive it in cause today I'm talking to the people

20
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>of God.

21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 3>About rest.

22
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Rest.

23
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 3>And I'll look at your face.

24
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Right now and know you tired. I can see by

25
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 2>how you respond that you're tired. Some of y'all's facebooks

26
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>and instagrams are telling on you tired. There are things

27
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>that God suggests in his word, and then tho, there

28
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>are things that He commands in his word. And one

29
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>of the commandments that is most ignored by people who

30
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 2>claim to know him and love him is the commandment

31
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of taking a sabbath, the commandment of resting. And right

32
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 2>now I feel people clinching. You don't know my story.

33
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't know how much responsibility I have. You don't

34
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>know where I came from. I got it out the mud.

35
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>You don't understand I'm a blue collar worker. You don't

36
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>understand that I have so much to provide for. You

37
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 2>don't understand. You don't understand how much God loves you.

38
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>God loves you so much that he gives us the

39
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>gift of rest, But if you don't have the revelation

40
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>of it, you never open the gift. So today, I

41
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>know it's hard. Right now, some of y'all feel the resistance.

42
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel the resistance. So I wanted to put this

43
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>message in a package that you could receive it.

44
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Today, ladies and.

45
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Gentlemen, I would like to welcome to the stage, preaching

46
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>his first message, my junior preacher today, mister Harlowe Phoenix Medcalf, would.

47
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 3>Y'all give it up?

48
00:02:58.919 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

49
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 3>You can do better than.

50
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Arlow has a message? Would you please get your notes ready?

51
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Arlow.

52
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 4>Hello, my name is Earl Phoenix Metcalf, and I'm gonna

53
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 4>preach today. Everyone turned to your neighbor and say six seven.

54
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Turn to your other neighbor and say six seven six seven.

55
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 4>Genesis Chapter one, God creates everything in six days. The

56
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 4>sixth day he creates man. The seventh he rest. That

57
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 4>reminds Us we need rest. Jesus asked all of us

58
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 4>a question, are you really tired? He won't only give

59
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 4>you rest for six days, but seven six seven?

60
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Do we give it up?

61
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 5>So proud of you, buddy, Hots five, we can go home.

62
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Some of y'all was smiling so much. Y'all didn't hear

63
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 3>what he said.

64
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>What he said was that God worked for six days,

65
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>but on the seventh day he rested. And it's crazy

66
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>that at seven years old, Arlo has a revelation that

67
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>most sixty seven year olds don't have. The truth of

68
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 2>the matter is rest is something that is necessary.

69
00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm in a title.

70
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Today's message are you tired? Ooh, I don't know what

71
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>that message just did to somebody, but somebody's telling on

72
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>themselves the rumbles in the crowd.

73
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 3>Look at your neighbor and just ask them the question,

74
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 3>are you tired? If you have the faith, you can

75
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 3>answer them.

76
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Come on, look at your other neighbor. Come on, say,

77
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 2>other neighbor, are you tired? Today? I gotta talk about

78
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>the wrestle that you're having with rest.

79
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Some of y'all are wrestling with rest.

80
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Now. I don't want anybody to confuse this with laziness.

81
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say this up front because somebody's like, perfect

82
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the message. No, I'm gonna give you context to this,

83
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>but some of you are really wrestling with rest and

84
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>today I hope that this message, by God's grace.

85
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 3>Gives you a revelation of rest.

86
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Matter of fact, just to let everybody calm down, everybody,

87
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 2>take a deep breath in, let it out, and say relax.

88
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not about to condemn you. I'm not about to

89
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>try to make you change today. I'm gonna just present

90
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>some things to you that God presented to humanity. And

91
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>then I want you to make a decision. Do you

92
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>want to live the abundant life that God provided, or

93
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 2>do you want to live this ghetto life that culture

94
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 2>has given me. I have no idea. What's happening right now?

95
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 2>It's ghetto down here. I want you to live in freedom.

96
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 2>I want you to enjoy the abundant life, life and

97
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 2>life to the fool. And if you only hear things

98
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>in means or captures, I want you to catch this

99
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>little the whole message I put in a meme. I'm

100
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 2>trying to break this big thing down to something simple.

101
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Our load was first. This is my second attempt to

102
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>just make you relax with this. I want to give

103
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 2>you my message and a meme. Will you play that

104
00:06:52.519 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 2>video real quick? Yeah? Right? Ya? Did you take a

105
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>nap today?

106
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 3>No? I didn't you need one? What was her response?

107
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>What if God was coming to you today and saying

108
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you need a nap, would you tell him?

109
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't.

110
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 2>I have too many bills to pay.

111
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't.

112
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I gotta be outside hell A y'all know what I'm

113
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>talking about. No, I don't. I have too many emails

114
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>to answer. No, no, no, no, no, no no no. And I

115
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>think God's coming to you today through your pastor and

116
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>saying you need one. Have you had a nap? Watched

117
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>this not today? Have you had a nap this week?

118
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Have you had a day off this week? Have you

119
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>had a day off this month? Have you had a

120
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>day off this year?

121
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 3>The reason I'm asking this.

122
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Is not because I as much as I love you,

123
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I just want you to be healthy and thriving in

124
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 2>all of the latest things that culture is telling you.

125
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 2>This is an ancient principle that our God put in

126
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 2>place because he wanted us to work, not work, but

127
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:36.200
<v Speaker 2>he wanted us to function properly. So because God wanted humanity,

128
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 2>his creation, to function properly, he knew what they needed

129
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>before they ever went to work. My daughter, Gia's birthday

130
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>is coming up and one of the things as we

131
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>had her birthday party yesterday, one of the things that

132
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I learned is that there are a bunch of toys

133
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 2>that say they work, but they don't work until you

134
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>put batterysm them. Yeah, And the thing that I realize

135
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>is most toys don't come with batteries. So we ordered

136
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 2>a ton of batteries that allowed us to do something

137
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 2>before it actually produced. God is saying I want to

138
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>put something into you before I require anything out of you.

139
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>You missed it, all right, Let's go back to Arlow's

140
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 2>illustration in Genesis. God created day one, God created day two,

141
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>God created day.

142
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Three, day four, day five, day six. What did he create?

143
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Man? And on day six we get with God in connection.

144
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>The first day we experience with God is a day

145
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>of rest, not a day of work. Your first day

146
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>inexistent as humanity was not a day of work. It

147
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>was a day of okay, And this is the problem

148
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>with most of us do not have a revelation of rest.

149
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 2>So today I'm going to try to give you some

150
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 2>revealed truth. And when I say revelation of rest, it's

151
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 2>like something is there, but you can't see it, And

152
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.320
<v Speaker 2>a revelation is like, oh, I can see it. One

153
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 2>of my friends said it like this. A revelation is

154
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.960
<v Speaker 2>something that comes from north south. It comes from God.

155
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>A lot of our change and good information comes east

156
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>west from friends and pastors. But you need a revelation

157
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>to come from God to you. And that's what I'm

158
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>praying for you today, is that for the first time

159
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 2>and the last time, you get a revelation of how

160
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 2>important rest is to God and to you, Matthew, Chapter eleven,

161
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>verse twenty eight, Are you tired? This is Jesus. Jesus's response. Then,

162
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Jesus said, come to me, all you who are weary.

163
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Another translation says tired and all of you who carry

164
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>a heavy burden, and I will give you. Say it

165
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>out loud, say it strong, say it like you can

166
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 2>take the next week off. Jesus' response to weariness and

167
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 2>to people carrying a heavy load was not prayer. I'm

168
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>about to mess with your religion. It wasn't a worship service.

169
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 2>His response to your tiredness was not a meeting with

170
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 2>the pastor The response to your heavy load and weariness

171
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 2>was what.

172
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 3>And some of you think I'm saying sleep.

173
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Sleep?

174
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 3>You can do that and still wake up tired.

175
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, I need to find the real people in here.

176
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 3>How many people sleep and still woe out?

177
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I'll come rest. If you read down and

178
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.840
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna read, it's rest for your soul. Is your

179
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.559
<v Speaker 2>mind at ease, is your wheel at bay? Are your

180
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>emotions tanged? Some of you are literally sleeping to escape reality,

181
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 2>going through stuff. I just need to sleep. Come on, okay,

182
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 2>come on, y'all, I just need to sleep.

183
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.600
<v Speaker 3>You'll take things to do it.

184
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I gotta, I gotta shut my mouth, my mind down,

185
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I gotta shut I gotta you'll watch certain stuff. I

186
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 2>gotta numb out. These are all terms, and you may

187
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.200
<v Speaker 2>have different ones. But what I'm saying is what you're

188
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:47.440
<v Speaker 2>doing is sleeping. What God provides is rest. And so

189
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.399
<v Speaker 2>today I want to give you the revelation of rest

190
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>because this is God's gift to us. Rest is not

191
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.559
<v Speaker 2>a luxury, it's a necessity. So then when you look

192
00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 2>at this in verse twenty nine, it says, this is

193
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Jesus talking, take my yoke up on you, and let

194
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 2>me teach you how to rest.

195
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.759
<v Speaker 3>So this is beautiful because we don't know how to

196
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.080
<v Speaker 3>do it on our own.

197
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 2>This is why Jesus says, let me teach you how

198
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>to rest. Let me teach you what you don't know naturally,

199
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 2>let me teach you what your nature goes against. It says,

200
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>let me teach you because this is my character. I'm

201
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.960
<v Speaker 2>humble and gentle at heart. That means I'm thinking about you.

202
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Think about this. If people think God is mad at you,

203
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 2>still like he's a god that's mad at you. There's

204
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.360
<v Speaker 2>no other God. In any other religion that thinks about

205
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 2>your rest. If God was really if you was mad

206
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 2>at somebody, do you want them to get rest? Do

207
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.360
<v Speaker 2>you know that keeping people up is a form of

208
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>torture used in warfare. It's like, how do I torture

209
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>this person? Keep them awake? And what God says is,

210
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm a God that cares about you so much. My

211
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>spirit is humble and I have a gentle heart.

212
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm asking you have you rested lately?

213
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:12.759
<v Speaker 2>I know you're doing all of these things to prove

214
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.159
<v Speaker 2>to your child'shood self that you're actually significant. But I'm

215
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>asking you to come to me because you're weary.

216
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 3>You're heavy. I want to give you. Say the word again.

217
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Rest. This is a new four letter word that you

218
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 2>need to say a lot. Rest. Say it one more time.

219
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:36.080
<v Speaker 2>It says if you let me teach you, it says

220
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 2>you will find rest. Oh. I like that. When God

221
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>says I'm gonna find something, he says, you will find

222
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 2>rest for your souls. He says, for my yoke is

223
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>easy to bear, and the burden I give you is

224
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>a light. To receive a revelation of rest, You're gonna

225
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.960
<v Speaker 2>have to be humble and teachable, and this is why

226
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I need everybody to understand the character of our God.

227
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:00.759
<v Speaker 2>God's trying to tell you what you heard about me

228
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:06.759
<v Speaker 2>has been misrepresented. I actually love you, I care about you,

229
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 2>and I want you to be okay, not just today

230
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>but forever. So I'm not going to just give you

231
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>a miracle. I'm gonna give you a pattern.

232
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Right now.

233
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 2>There are people who need money in your life, and

234
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.480
<v Speaker 2>if you give them one hundred dollars, they're gonna come

235
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.320
<v Speaker 2>back next week and ask you for a hundred dollars,

236
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 2>and then they'll come back two months from now and

237
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>ask you for a hundred dollars.

238
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.480
<v Speaker 3>But if you give that person a skill set, and.

239
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 6>You give them a job, or you give them a thing,

240
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.879
<v Speaker 6>then they can actually learn a pattern that will produce

241
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 6>what they need.

242
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>God is saying, I didn't want to just give you

243
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.879
<v Speaker 2>a magic reci peal, I wanted to give you a

244
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 2>pattern of a sabbath so that you could always have

245
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>everything you.

246
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.759
<v Speaker 3>Need to do what I'm asking you to do. It's

247
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 3>a gift.

248
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And as we look at Scripture today, I realize that

249
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 2>there is no other religion in the world where the

250
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 2>deity does not demand work from them. If you search

251
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.000
<v Speaker 2>every other religion, I'm just trying to give you a revelation.

252
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking to your mind so that it can drop

253
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>to your heart and then it'll actually appear in your life.

254
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 2>There is no other religion that says you don't got

255
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.879
<v Speaker 2>to work for this. How many times do you need

256
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to pray? Where do you need to turn? How many

257
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 2>sacrifices do you need? All of these things? It's work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work.

258
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>They demand work for stuff. God gives rest for your soul.

259
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.159
<v Speaker 2>This is the god we search, So why will you

260
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 2>not receive this gift of rest? Other religions offer a

261
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>ladder to climb. Jesus offers a refuge of rest. And

262
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 2>this is why he does it. Write this point down

263
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>because rest is a weapon. Rest is a weapon. If

264
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>you actually were rested, How good would you be if

265
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 2>you actually were rested. I'm talking about in your soul,

266
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 2>your mind, your will, your emotions, and your body was rested.

267
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:17.960
<v Speaker 2>How would you handle hard situations if you.

268
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 3>Were actually rested?

269
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>How many more good ideas could come through you? You've

270
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>done what you've done. Woe out, not woar out, You've

271
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 2>done what you've done.

272
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 3>In life. All this is says, whoe out. You can't

273
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:39.000
<v Speaker 3>even enjoy what God has blessed.

274
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.599
<v Speaker 2>You with because you trying to keep up with it.

275
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>So did God bless you with it because the blessings

276
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.640
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord make it rich and addath No, uh oh, let's.

277
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Just put the scripture out there.

278
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Some of y'all is woe out, calling it a blessing,

279
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.480
<v Speaker 2>but losing your marriage.

280
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.960
<v Speaker 3>You got ten thousand square feet, no peace.

281
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 2>You got cars to choose from, but no, here go

282
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to find safety in your soul.

283
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.119
<v Speaker 3>All I'm asking you is are you rested?

284
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:10.720
<v Speaker 2>And the truth of the matter is the culture we

285
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:17.839
<v Speaker 2>live in today is offering the opposite, promising the opposite.

286
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 2>It's saying, grind hustle, do all of this.

287
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Do all this, and then you'll have money.

288
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.680
<v Speaker 2>To take a vacation, and then you'll have money to

289
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 2>buy a second home, and.

290
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Then you'll be it's grind hustle, get it.

291
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 2>All of these things are deceptions from the enemy. Because

292
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I heard it said one time, what the enemy can't

293
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 2>get in front of and stop, he gets behind and pushes.

294
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.759
<v Speaker 2>And some of y'all are being pushed to the brink.

295
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 2>You're being pushed your soul exhausted that you cannot even

296
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 2>sense the presence of God. God's got you in a

297
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>good situation right now, and you're calling it bad because

298
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.680
<v Speaker 2>it's not moving fast enough. Okay, all right, am I

299
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>just talking about my own issues. Okay, I'm telling you.

300
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.799
<v Speaker 2>God had to teach me. He said, I slowed this

301
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.480
<v Speaker 2>thing down. You think the company's going down, He said,

302
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm saving your life. All delay, all backup, All deals

303
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>not working are not from the devil.

304
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 3>Some of the things.

305
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:28.640
<v Speaker 6>That God is doing is because we don't have enough

306
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 6>sense to preserve ourselves.

307
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, if that deal actually went through, you would

308
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 3>have lost your marriage.

309
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.400
<v Speaker 2>If you actually would have made it in that field,

310
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 2>you would have lost your mind. Okay, let me stop me.

311
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Part of what I know with my literal makeup is that.

312
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 5>I can go go go go, go, go, go go go.

313
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 2>God has had to teach me, Michael. Just because you

314
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.920
<v Speaker 2>can doesn't mean I want you to. Uh oh uh oh.

315
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 6>Just because you can watch this, here's my insecurity mine.

316
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Just because you can doesn't mean that you should do it.

317
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Because how many people if it makes us feel good

318
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.759
<v Speaker 2>and it scratches some childhood wound of feeling significant, or

319
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:26.279
<v Speaker 2>or people are gonna praise me for this, or I'm

320
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:28.039
<v Speaker 2>being too honest of here. Okay, let me, let me

321
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 2>go back to the scripture. What I'm trying, what I'm

322
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.559
<v Speaker 2>trying to tell everybody is the same faith. It takes

323
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you to believe for miracles. It takes that faith to rest.

324
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.599
<v Speaker 2>And most of y'all have faith to praise God and

325
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.480
<v Speaker 2>not faith to walk away from the desk. You won't

326
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:50.039
<v Speaker 2>shut the laptop, you won't stop checking the email and

327
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 2>the dow and you won't see all. It's all all

328
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:54.839
<v Speaker 2>it's going. It's crazy. How in the world is a

329
00:20:54.839 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 2>little ticker controlling your peace? Is quiet in here, and

330
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:08.759
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, I get it, because what's happening is that

331
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:23.880
<v Speaker 2>the mindset of culture is a mindset to keep you enslaved. Okay.

332
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>The problem is right now is that you think you're free,

333
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 2>but you're enslaved. That was the same problem with the

334
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 2>children of Israel. When they were enslaved, they had no

335
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:44.920
<v Speaker 2>days off. The proof you were a slave is you

336
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't get to rest. So when God brought them out

337
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>from under Pharaoh's rule and they were in the wilderness,

338
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 2>one of the commandments that God made sure to on

339
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the top ten list put on their is you should

340
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:07.079
<v Speaker 2>observe the Sabbath. Why because the Sabbath was only reserved

341
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 2>for sons. Only sons got to take a rest. So

342
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:23.880
<v Speaker 2>the Sabbath proves your freedom. Oh God, I'm gonna need

343
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a whole series. When you can take a break, it

344
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:35.680
<v Speaker 2>means you know who got it. When you can walk

345
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 2>away from being God, then you have a God.

346
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 3>When you walk away from being.

347
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Provider, then he's Jehovah Zirah.

348
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.359
<v Speaker 6>Your provider. When you can step.

349
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 3>Back and moon walk out of having to.

350
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Literally do everything for yourself, it means you make room

351
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:04.720
<v Speaker 2>for God to step in. Many of us still have

352
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:09.160
<v Speaker 2>our Egypt mentality. If it's gonna happen for me, I

353
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:11.720
<v Speaker 2>got to get it out the mud. Hold on, wait,

354
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 2>did you not come into the kingdom economy? Did you

355
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>not believe Jesus when he said you are no longer

356
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a slave? The curse is broken off of you whom

357
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:25.359
<v Speaker 2>the sun sets, it's free, and we don't think about that.

358
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:34.680
<v Speaker 2>You're free to rest, Oh God, whom the sun sets free,

359
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 2>And you think you're noble, I'm just you know me,

360
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna just put in that extra, And God said,

361
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't ask you for all that. I don't. Actually

362
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I call it disobedience. You actually think you're doing something noble.

363
00:23:53.359 --> 00:24:00.160
<v Speaker 2>It's sin. Did y'all hear what I just said? When

364
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't observe a twenty four hour period where you

365
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:09.160
<v Speaker 2>walk away from your work every week, God's like, why

366
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:17.079
<v Speaker 2>do they disobey me all the time? Grace after grace,

367
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:20.799
<v Speaker 2>mercy after mercy, day after day provided for him. They

368
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:22.720
<v Speaker 2>in that little house that they didn't think they could

369
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 2>ever get. And I did that with the job they

370
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't never think they were gonna be able to get.

371
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.720
<v Speaker 2>And I did that, and I provided and I restored,

372
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 2>and they still don't trust me. I gave them the

373
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 2>blessing of the book. I gave him the blessing of

374
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.359
<v Speaker 2>the business. I gave him the blessing of the thing.

375
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 3>And they still won't trust me.

376
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.400
<v Speaker 2>What do I have to do to let them unwrap

377
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 2>this gift that would relieve their soul of weariness? Some

378
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 2>of you, you don't need a new career, You need

379
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to take a day off.

380
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.880
<v Speaker 3>You're so overwhelmed.

381
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Life is just no. You're disobedient. What is a sabbath?

382
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:23.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a pause. It's a pause. It doesn't mean I'm

383
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:25.279
<v Speaker 2>not coming back to this. It means I have to

384
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:31.559
<v Speaker 2>stop right now. And it takes faith to pause. A

385
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hour period. Write this definition down. A sabbath

386
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 2>is a twenty four hour period that God gives humanity

387
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.720
<v Speaker 2>with to reframe from work, remember Him, and rest your soul.

388
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Every week, God wants to give every person under the

389
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.799
<v Speaker 2>sound of my voice a twenty four hour period that

390
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 2>God gives you with to refrain from work, to remember

391
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 2>Him and to rest your soul. I'm gonna read it

392
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 2>one more time so your soul can hear it. Every week,

393
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:09.960
<v Speaker 2>God wants to gift you personally with a day to

394
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:15.079
<v Speaker 2>refrain from work, to remember Him and to rest your soul.

395
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 3>Even in the ancient times, this was a.

396
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Radical innovation at the time because everybody was working. I mean,

397
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 2>they didn't have buildings and they didn't have bulldozers. They

398
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:28.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't have all everything they did they had to make.

399
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.519
<v Speaker 2>They didn't have Amazon, They couldn't order nothing. You want

400
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to purse, go kill something, dry out the skin, sew

401
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>it together. You got some more fig leaves over there,

402
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 2>like you had to make everything.

403
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:44.680
<v Speaker 3>So think about all of the work that was happening in.

404
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:49.640
<v Speaker 2>God saying, hey, take the day off, Come walk and

405
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:54.480
<v Speaker 2>talk with me. Remember how good I am. Look at

406
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 2>those trees. Are they worried? You don't have to either.

407
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Look at those birds. I know you've missed them every

408
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 2>day because you've been so occupied, But they've been here

409
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:03.359
<v Speaker 2>every day. They don't worry about what they're gonna eat

410
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>or drink. You see them lilies over there. Look how

411
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 2>beautiful those colors. Don't those colors make you feel something?

412
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 2>They didn't dress themselves. I did that. I'll do that

413
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 2>much more for you if you would rest. I said

414
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 2>it before, but slaves never rested, only sons did. And

415
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.680
<v Speaker 2>this is where I have to bring this up, because

416
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.559
<v Speaker 2>culture is feeding us a lie that I have to

417
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 2>correct with the word of God. Culture says rest is

418
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:36.039
<v Speaker 2>a reward for work. Hear what I just said to you.

419
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Culture says you better work, and you better work until

420
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:48.160
<v Speaker 2>you earn a rest. God says rest is a requirement

421
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:56.119
<v Speaker 2>for work. First full day rest and the prerequisit was

422
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.640
<v Speaker 2>because God knew Adam was about to work. I'm gonna

423
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>give him rest because he about to put in that work.

424
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Rest should be a sign that God wants you to work.

425
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.680
<v Speaker 2>It is not oh, I'm not gonna work because I

426
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 2>just need the rest. It's like, na, you better get

427
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:21.839
<v Speaker 2>this rest because after this rest we about to put

428
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.359
<v Speaker 2>in this work.

429
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 6>You can't even feel rested if you don't feel worked.

430
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, I'm talking with people who don't work. Anybody

431
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.440
<v Speaker 2>who really work know that the only way of rest is.

432
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Good if you did good work.

433
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.160
<v Speaker 2>So what I'm trying to tell you is God gave

434
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:51.160
<v Speaker 2>a six day work period and a one day rest.

435
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.559
<v Speaker 2>But I think a lot of us got the God complex.

436
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.599
<v Speaker 2>So what we did is we did what God did

437
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:03.240
<v Speaker 2>instead of what he said. Day one, work day two,

438
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:05.519
<v Speaker 2>work day three, work day four, work day five, work

439
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:07.160
<v Speaker 2>day six, work day seven.

440
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.519
<v Speaker 3>Rested. But then he told us, don't do what I did.

441
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Do what I said, rest day two, work day three.

442
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you see what I'm saying. Okay, let me start

443
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 2>it again.

444
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 3>God worked on day one today six, then he rested.

445
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:31.039
<v Speaker 2>He made us and said rest on day one, work

446
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 2>the other six days.

447
00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:38.920
<v Speaker 6>He was trying to say, I'm setting you up because

448
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 6>you can't handle what I did.

449
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 2>You not built like me, You can't work and then rest.

450
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm God, I can do all things. I know everything omnishing,

451
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I know everything all that was, he said, because.

452
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:55.519
<v Speaker 3>I love you. You rest first.

453
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I know you. I know your attitude, I know you

454
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:02.400
<v Speaker 2>get hangry, I know your habits, I know your temperament.

455
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I know you need to go to sleep. First, You rest,

456
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.680
<v Speaker 2>and then all the things out are there. They're gonna

457
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.119
<v Speaker 2>be there tomorrow. Those contracts will be there tomorrow, those

458
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>emails will be there tomorrow. Some of y'all that don't

459
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:19.920
<v Speaker 2>have do not disturb on your stuff. How do you

460
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:24.279
<v Speaker 2>function the level of interruptions of your life that you

461
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:27.400
<v Speaker 2>allow in right now? How in the world do you

462
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:33.519
<v Speaker 2>have any peace? It's quiet in here today. Okay, so

463
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>let's keep going. If you go to Exodus chapter five,

464
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:39.240
<v Speaker 2>verse seven, I want you to look it up on

465
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:42.680
<v Speaker 2>your own time. Pharaoh's strategy was never to kill the

466
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>children of Israel.

467
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:48.079
<v Speaker 3>It was to exhaust them.

468
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Y'all didn't hear what I just said. What if the

469
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:52.799
<v Speaker 2>enemy doesn't want to kill you, he just wants to

470
00:30:52.839 --> 00:31:00.880
<v Speaker 2>exhaust you. What if what if you're at series goal

471
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 2>is never to take you out, just make you not

472
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:11.359
<v Speaker 2>strong enough to do anything. Exhaustion is the new weapon

473
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:12.240
<v Speaker 2>of massive destruction.

474
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever been tired just scrolling?

475
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Come on, you switch fingers, y'all know some of y'all

476
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:34.720
<v Speaker 2>on your pinky fingers scrolling news on twenty four to seven,

477
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:38.279
<v Speaker 2>got four news channels on what's Fox saying? What's the inn? Saying?

478
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>What's MSNBC saying? What's the exhaustion? News feed all the time?

479
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:50.440
<v Speaker 2>And then don't get into your family group chat. The

480
00:31:50.559 --> 00:32:02.039
<v Speaker 2>emotional disability of cousin Jerome locked up again, Stacy Dayton,

481
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:06.359
<v Speaker 2>somebody that dated your other cousin again, Like.

482
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Y'all know what I'm talking about? Or watch this. The

483
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:12.799
<v Speaker 3>exhaustion of silence.

484
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Because the manipulation that happens many times relationally because we're

485
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:24.319
<v Speaker 2>not talking. Okay, let me, I'm going too deep. What

486
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 2>if what if there was a way to reset every

487
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:30.759
<v Speaker 2>week where all of that stuff lost its power in

488
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.440
<v Speaker 2>your life? What if God knew he wasn't gonna take

489
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:36.599
<v Speaker 2>us out of this world, but he would give us

490
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.160
<v Speaker 2>tools in this world to actually live higher.

491
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Than this world. That's just what the Scripture means.

492
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>When it says we are in it, but not of it,

493
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:51.000
<v Speaker 2>but you in it and of it. Jesus doing his

494
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:55.240
<v Speaker 2>greatest miracles with a shot clock on three years left,

495
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.160
<v Speaker 2>big miracles, everybody coming. What does Jesus do? All right, y'all,

496
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 2>all right, it's been fun. God bless you. He would

497
00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:11.480
<v Speaker 2>withdraw often on your greatest day of miracle impact money,

498
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:16.200
<v Speaker 2>our culture, like, do it again, run it up, we

499
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:20.599
<v Speaker 2>can pack it out again. Four nights at Madison Square Garden,

500
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 2>back to back to back. Let's get all this money.

501
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>And God was like, yeah, where's the limit. And some

502
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:39.559
<v Speaker 2>of us are so close? Why are you telling me?

503
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Be careful? You won't rest. Be careful, Be careful the

504
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:50.759
<v Speaker 2>decisions you make unrested. Be careful of the people you

505
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 2>keep around your children unrested, Okay, be careful. Be careful

506
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.920
<v Speaker 2>of saying your opinion. I'm just being honest right now.

507
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Be careful of talking at all.

508
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:09.519
<v Speaker 6>Some of y'all, some of y'all just need to say,

509
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 6>can I respond to this tomorrow?

510
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Why are you saying this?

511
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Passing Mike? Because nobody makes their best decisions exhausted. Sabbath

512
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:29.320
<v Speaker 2>the sabbath or a day of rest isn't just rest

513
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:33.840
<v Speaker 2>from work. It is your proof of freedom. And I

514
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:36.119
<v Speaker 2>just want to let you know. Pharaoh is not dead.

515
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:46.280
<v Speaker 2>It just comes with push notifications. That algorithm that for

516
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:50.039
<v Speaker 2>you page, that next deadline, that inbox those emails. All

517
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:53.840
<v Speaker 2>it's doing is exhausting you to the point where you

518
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:57.119
<v Speaker 2>don't dream, you don't worship, and you don't fight back.

519
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:07.639
<v Speaker 2>This is why you are being beat up at the

520
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:12.840
<v Speaker 2>same level as people who don't know God. It's because

521
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:18.559
<v Speaker 2>you're on the same training plan as them. You're exhausted,

522
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:24.280
<v Speaker 2>and so you're too exhausted to pray. Come on, let's

523
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:29.159
<v Speaker 2>be honest, God, do it. Okay, y'all gonna act like

524
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm the only one that pray to prayer like that,

525
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Let yo will be done, Bible talking about pray without

526
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.920
<v Speaker 2>ceasing you like Lord, If you don't do it, it

527
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:54.280
<v Speaker 2>won't be done. Why you're exhausted? Are you tired? Why

528
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.599
<v Speaker 2>are you still wrestling rest when it's the gift that

529
00:35:56.639 --> 00:36:00.679
<v Speaker 2>God gives to you. Husbands and wives haven't been able

530
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to have a civil conversation. Not because you don't love

531
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>each other, because you're tired. You're both tired trying to

532
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.239
<v Speaker 2>provide for a home that neither wanted you like coming

533
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:18.760
<v Speaker 2>to right now. Not because the home is bad, Because y'all,

534
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:24.800
<v Speaker 2>you need to go get a one nice stay in

535
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:28.719
<v Speaker 2>a holiday in I'm not I'm trying to give y'all

536
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:29.440
<v Speaker 2>real secrets.

537
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.719
<v Speaker 6>Somebody needs a staycation at the home with sweets and

538
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 6>the other one at the best westernt.

539
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:46.360
<v Speaker 2>And then you need to talk after your rest. All right,

540
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:52.119
<v Speaker 2>all right, how somebody, why are you saying this? Because

541
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.559
<v Speaker 2>the lie is that I need to perform, and if

542
00:36:55.599 --> 00:37:00.199
<v Speaker 2>I perform, then I'll get approval and praise. So the

543
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.480
<v Speaker 2>reason why people work is because if I work and

544
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:03.880
<v Speaker 2>I get this money, or if I work and I

545
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:05.719
<v Speaker 2>get this accoladeer on my work and I get these grades,

546
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and I work and I get this thing, and I

547
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>work and I get this compliment, then.

548
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I will be approved and praised.

549
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why this is important is because all people,

550
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:18.440
<v Speaker 2>even down to children. The reason why we clap so

551
00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:24.679
<v Speaker 2>loud for Urlow is because we inate innately know that

552
00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:28.800
<v Speaker 2>a child needs to be approved and praised. Arlow could

553
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.280
<v Speaker 2>have got up here and say abc D, Jesus is Lord,

554
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:34.800
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's.

555
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Still with him, like why cause you.

556
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Know from a child you need if I'm gonna do

557
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.760
<v Speaker 2>this again, if I'm gonna actually become everything, if he

558
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:49.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna stand up here and preach one day, he has

559
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:55.079
<v Speaker 2>to be approved and praised. So guess what the enemy

560
00:37:55.119 --> 00:38:00.840
<v Speaker 2>tries to tell you? Work for it, work for? And

561
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.159
<v Speaker 2>God says, I'll give it to you first. Can I

562
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:08.119
<v Speaker 2>give you an example? This is an eternal example that

563
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Jesus literally gets baptized by his cousin John. And the

564
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.280
<v Speaker 2>first thing that happens before he ever works a miracle.

565
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:18.679
<v Speaker 2>This is before he turns water into wine.

566
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:21.000
<v Speaker 6>This is before the fishes in the lows, this is

567
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:24.679
<v Speaker 6>before he heals any blind eyes, before he ever starts working.

568
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:29.440
<v Speaker 2>He gets approved in praise. He gets dumped down in

569
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:33.360
<v Speaker 2>that water. The sky's open, and the Bible says, like

570
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:38.239
<v Speaker 2>a dove descending, it says, this is my son, identity

571
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:43.440
<v Speaker 2>in whom I'm well please, I'm approving him, and I'm

572
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.880
<v Speaker 2>praising him in front of everybody.

573
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:47.719
<v Speaker 3>And from that place he went to work.

574
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, all right. So the lie is you need

575
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:56.840
<v Speaker 2>to perform so that you get approval in praise. But

576
00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:01.199
<v Speaker 2>the truth is you're already positioned. This is my son,

577
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:03.440
<v Speaker 2>this is my daughter. I'm well pleasing them. You already

578
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:08.840
<v Speaker 2>got approval and praise. Now go work. What's your last name, Tom?

579
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Go put in that work. My daughters they get I

580
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 2>hype them up before they do anything, and it and

581
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:16.559
<v Speaker 2>and and I mean it's at.

582
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:18.400
<v Speaker 6>The borderline right now, like maybe too much. She's like,

583
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:20.639
<v Speaker 6>but I hype them, I hype them up.

584
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:22.039
<v Speaker 2>What's your name? My name is Jia?

585
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:23.679
<v Speaker 3>What you do? Everything good?

586
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:26.199
<v Speaker 2>And I'd be like, ah, my Jia.

587
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:28.920
<v Speaker 3>She she wakes up in the morning. We had a

588
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:29.840
<v Speaker 3>birthday party yesterday.

589
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I said, how you feeling to day? I feel great?

590
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Not good? I feel great. I said, I'm glad you

591
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:38.400
<v Speaker 2>feel great.

592
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:38.920
<v Speaker 3>What's today?

593
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:43.199
<v Speaker 2>It's my birthday party day? I said, what you what

594
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:44.760
<v Speaker 2>you mean? What you got? How you feel? She's like,

595
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:48.119
<v Speaker 2>people are coming over, We're gonna swim, and I'm gonna

596
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.559
<v Speaker 2>get some presents because I already know y'all got me

597
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:55.800
<v Speaker 2>some good president. I said, how did you? But what

598
00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying to you is she lives from approval. My

599
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 2>baby doesn't wake up in the morning be like daddy,

600
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Hey dad, Hey, how many dishes do you want me

601
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to wash? How? What do you need me to do

602
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:16.480
<v Speaker 2>to be called your own? What I'm saying to you

603
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.960
<v Speaker 2>is you're good enough right now for God to approve

604
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:28.960
<v Speaker 2>you right now. Gotta keep moving all right, here we go.

605
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:31.679
<v Speaker 2>If you need to check that reference. That's Matthew, chapter three,

606
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:33.960
<v Speaker 2>verse seventeen. I'm moving because there's so much that I

607
00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:35.719
<v Speaker 2>have to say, because there are people that are hearing

608
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:37.840
<v Speaker 2>me about the Sabbath, and right now your mind's going

609
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.679
<v Speaker 2>to legalism. Well okay, so technically, if I start my

610
00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Sabbath at six pm and I don't check my email

611
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:49.599
<v Speaker 2>into then well what if somebody call stop? Since God

612
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:53.920
<v Speaker 2>has gifted us the Sabbath, people have tried to actually

613
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:58.199
<v Speaker 2>dip it in legalism, but the Sabbath is dipped in love.

614
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:04.280
<v Speaker 2>All he said, he said, I'm the Lord of the Sabbath.

615
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I gave I gave this to you so you could

616
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:11.599
<v Speaker 2>be good. So don't if y' there's a there's a

617
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:14.440
<v Speaker 2>story in the Bible that Jesus heals a man on

618
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the Sabbath and all the religious people got mad. Now,

619
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:19.599
<v Speaker 2>first off, the man was literally.

620
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:20.920
<v Speaker 3>Sick, blind, jacked up.

621
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:23.079
<v Speaker 2>If I was a religious person, I'd be like, that

622
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:26.519
<v Speaker 2>is good for him. I'm wow, that's awesome. What day

623
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.639
<v Speaker 2>is it's a sabbath? Hey, don't tell nobody. My man

624
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:29.440
<v Speaker 2>can see Like.

625
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:37.039
<v Speaker 7>Immediately they were like you, you are not good because you

626
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.119
<v Speaker 7>did on the Sabbath, and he's like, Yo, what how

627
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:41.679
<v Speaker 7>did y'all get this love gift?

628
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Confused with all this legalism.

629
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:47.199
<v Speaker 2>He said, if your if your ox falls into the

630
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:49.880
<v Speaker 2>ditch on the sabbath, don't leave your ox there till

631
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:55.599
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow it'll be dead. Pick it up, get your friends,

632
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:57.199
<v Speaker 2>the club of y'all gonna have to work today.

633
00:41:58.119 --> 00:41:59.679
<v Speaker 3>But this can't be the pattern.

634
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:05.119
<v Speaker 2>So so so so if it happens, just make sure

635
00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:09.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not the potter. If your odds is falling into

636
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:13.599
<v Speaker 2>ditch every time it's a sabbath, that's.

637
00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:21.639
<v Speaker 3>You can't drive like that say pattern, But.

638
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:23.960
<v Speaker 2>God's saying like if something happens, if they email you,

639
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:27.639
<v Speaker 2>or if you gotta go into work or you that like, okay,

640
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:31.639
<v Speaker 2>but every week, every week.

641
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:33.079
<v Speaker 3>On your off day, Yo, Bosston want to.

642
00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Have a meeting, and you've never say any boundaries to

643
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:41.960
<v Speaker 2>be able to let them know. Hey, I'm gonna just

644
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:46.320
<v Speaker 2>lead that. I'm gonna back away from the camera. I mean,

645
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:50.840
<v Speaker 2>all I'm saying to you right now is if you

646
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.320
<v Speaker 2>get this revelation of rest, I'm almost done.

647
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Rest becomes a resistance.

648
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:00.360
<v Speaker 2>That'ser, Mike, what are you talking about? Eat is the

649
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:05.719
<v Speaker 2>meakest most power move you can ever make. It's not

650
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:07.920
<v Speaker 2>big and boisterous and none of it. It's like, no,

651
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to go rest. Yeah, I'll be back for that. God,

652
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 2>you see what's happening over there. I'm about to trust

653
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you at your word right now while worry is trying

654
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.519
<v Speaker 2>to creep up my back and fear is trying to

655
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:26.559
<v Speaker 2>make me intimidated, and I don't know what's gonna happen

656
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:28.639
<v Speaker 2>with all those people and what they talking about. Father,

657
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:31.360
<v Speaker 2>you said if I trusted you and I did what

658
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:34.119
<v Speaker 2>your word says, you would fight my battles. So, Father,

659
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:36.119
<v Speaker 2>what I'm about to do is go get a massage

660
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:37.199
<v Speaker 2>and play golf today.

661
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:39.239
<v Speaker 3>And I'm gone, y'all don't hear me.

662
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:42.920
<v Speaker 2>And I'm gonna trust that as I am resting your working,

663
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna trust.

664
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.800
<v Speaker 6>That you're providing for the needs that I can't even

665
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:53.719
<v Speaker 6>make happen for my bick What would happen? What would

666
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:58.679
<v Speaker 6>happen if we really believed God? What would happen that

667
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:00.480
<v Speaker 6>you could be playing lasers with.

668
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Your kids, developing a greater relationship that would last for decades.

669
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:09.840
<v Speaker 3>While God.

670
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:15.239
<v Speaker 2>Is telling those who have been enemies or adversaries against

671
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:16.320
<v Speaker 2>what you was working on.

672
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:22.760
<v Speaker 3>He was moving them out the way.

673
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Somebody say resistance Exodus chapter No, I'm gonna go James

674
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:29.519
<v Speaker 2>chapter four real quick, because I gotta give you this.

675
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:33.000
<v Speaker 2>This is the revelation I need you to see. Ooh, ooh,

676
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 2>I've heard this scripture of my whole life, but the

677
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Holy Spirit gave me a new revelation on it. It said,

678
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:42.960
<v Speaker 2>and he gives grace generously. As a scripture say God

679
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:46.760
<v Speaker 2>opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Okay,

680
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.679
<v Speaker 2>verse seven here it is so humble yourself before God.

681
00:44:54.039 --> 00:45:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Now the next part requires humility first. Okay, humble your

682
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.079
<v Speaker 2>before God. Then what's the next part of the verse.

683
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Resist the devil and he will flee from you. One

684
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:16.800
<v Speaker 2>of the greatest resistance or resistance is you can have

685
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:25.000
<v Speaker 2>against the devil is to rest in his face. You

686
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.320
<v Speaker 2>want the devil to flee, go ahead and rest. He's

687
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to keep you up in anxiety and depression. Rest.

688
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling y'all this light here has been one of

689
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:44.440
<v Speaker 2>my greatest tactics to fight the enemies in my mind,

690
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:48.320
<v Speaker 2>the enemies that come from the outside. Is to say,

691
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:52.079
<v Speaker 2>you know what, God, if your word says to resist

692
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the devil and flee. What I'm about to do is

693
00:45:56.159 --> 00:45:58.559
<v Speaker 2>about to be a lot of activity for no reason.

694
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to email this person. Make sure these people

695
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:04.679
<v Speaker 2>know my point of view. I'm about to go here,

696
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.599
<v Speaker 2>do this, try to make this, get a fifth job, try.

697
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:08.079
<v Speaker 3>To go do this.

698
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I'm about to do. I'm about

699
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:15.960
<v Speaker 2>to trust you, and I'm about to resist the devil

700
00:46:18.679 --> 00:46:22.400
<v Speaker 2>because the devil is watch this, watch this, dank you Jesus.

701
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:29.199
<v Speaker 2>When the devil came to tempt Jesus, everything he was

702
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:33.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to get Jesus to do was activity outside of

703
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:40.760
<v Speaker 2>his purpose. The way he resisted the devil is he

704
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:43.920
<v Speaker 2>had to rest and remind the devil of the word.

705
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:48.599
<v Speaker 2>If you jump from this, if you go from this,

706
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll bring you. He was trying to create unnecessary activity.

707
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Do more work, do more work, prove to me. Turn

708
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.239
<v Speaker 2>these stones into pray it. Do more work, you prove

709
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:04.199
<v Speaker 2>to me. And because he was approved by his father

710
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:08.039
<v Speaker 2>before he went into this wilderness, he said, I don't

711
00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:11.800
<v Speaker 2>gotta work for you to prove who I am. I've

712
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:16.280
<v Speaker 2>already been approved, I have already been called, I've already

713
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:20.920
<v Speaker 2>been I've already been seated. So the next time you're

714
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna see me work is when God gives me approval

715
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:30.159
<v Speaker 2>to do these miracles. Okay, so rest is a resistance.

716
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Somebody needs to say I'm ready because I'm rested. What

717
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:38.519
<v Speaker 2>if that was the truth. What if it was the

718
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.400
<v Speaker 2>truth that every time something hard came, you were ready

719
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:46.719
<v Speaker 2>for it because you were rested. PESSI, Mike, are you

720
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:48.920
<v Speaker 2>serious about this? Is this like a message that you're

721
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:52.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna teach this every year and I have been

722
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:56.440
<v Speaker 2>for the last almost decade. The reason I'm saying it

723
00:47:56.480 --> 00:48:00.159
<v Speaker 2>is because most people are looking for a miracle when

724
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:06.199
<v Speaker 2>God wants to give them a method. He's trying to

725
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:09.599
<v Speaker 2>give you a principle that will allow this not to

726
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:14.320
<v Speaker 2>be a one time thing for you. So rest is

727
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:19.840
<v Speaker 2>a resistance, and then watch this. Rest is a reminder Exodus,

728
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:22.840
<v Speaker 2>chapter twenty, verse ten. But the seventh day is the

729
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Sabbath day. It's a day of rest dedicated to the

730
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Lord your God. On that day, no one in your

731
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.440
<v Speaker 2>household may do any work. This includes all your sons,

732
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:33.719
<v Speaker 2>your daughters, your male your female servants, everybody work for

733
00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:37.239
<v Speaker 2>your livestock, foreigners, all of that don't do no work.

734
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:40.400
<v Speaker 2>And I started to think about that, and then I

735
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:42.760
<v Speaker 2>started to think about the Christian Chicken Place.

736
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:51.920
<v Speaker 3>And there's not too many companies.

737
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:55.559
<v Speaker 2>That like publicly like like, hey, we're closing down today

738
00:48:55.639 --> 00:49:01.760
<v Speaker 2>because we're honoring our staff and honoring the Lord.

739
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.039
<v Speaker 3>Do you know the Chicken Christian Place?

740
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Y'all know who they are until they sponsor us. I

741
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:14.719
<v Speaker 2>ain't saying they name momoent No, I'm just from holler

742
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:21.519
<v Speaker 2>at me. But I just want I want you to

743
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:29.079
<v Speaker 2>know every almost every other establishment is twenty four hours,

744
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:31.400
<v Speaker 2>seven days a week. How many people are buying mc

745
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.840
<v Speaker 2>doubles at three point thirty in the morning. Somebody is,

746
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:42.360
<v Speaker 2>but not that many somebodies. I just I want you

747
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:47.719
<v Speaker 2>to know. Like the idea is more time, more money,

748
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:52.119
<v Speaker 2>more You know that Christian Chicken Place.

749
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:54.960
<v Speaker 3>They make.

750
00:49:56.519 --> 00:50:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Almost five times per store what all the other places make,

751
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:10.320
<v Speaker 2>being closed more times than all the mother places is

752
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:13.960
<v Speaker 2>closed and having a full twenty four hours where they

753
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:19.639
<v Speaker 2>do not bring in any revenue, less footprint on the earth,

754
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:27.239
<v Speaker 2>more productivity. Now, we could just act like it's coincidence,

755
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:33.119
<v Speaker 2>or we could say there's a blessing for following the

756
00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:36.800
<v Speaker 2>principles of God. Exodus chapter twenty, verse ten. But the

757
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:40.960
<v Speaker 2>seventh day is a Sabbath day. It's so you can rest.

758
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Exodus chapter twenty three, verse ten. It says, plant and

759
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:48.039
<v Speaker 2>harvest your crops for six years, but let the land

760
00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:52.159
<v Speaker 2>watch this be renewed and lie uncultivated during the seventh year.

761
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:56.559
<v Speaker 2>God is so gangster about the Sabbath that he even

762
00:50:56.599 --> 00:51:01.559
<v Speaker 2>wants the land to rest. He said, plant it, harvest

763
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:04.480
<v Speaker 2>for six years, but let the land be renewed and

764
00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:07.360
<v Speaker 2>lie uncultivated. Don't plant nothing, don't pick nothing for the

765
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:10.639
<v Speaker 2>seventh year. Then let the poor among you harvest what

766
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:12.800
<v Speaker 2>grows on it and leave the rest for the wild

767
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:13.599
<v Speaker 2>animals to eat.

768
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:16.159
<v Speaker 3>The same applies for your vineyards and your olive gardens.

769
00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:18.320
<v Speaker 2>The children of Israel were in a place where God

770
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:20.480
<v Speaker 2>was like, Hey, I'm gonna let it be harvest for

771
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:22.320
<v Speaker 2>six years, and then I need y'all to have a

772
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:26.599
<v Speaker 2>limit and let this land rest. You already got plenty,

773
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:28.920
<v Speaker 2>there's already enough. I need you to trust me and

774
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:33.280
<v Speaker 2>let it rest. They didn't do it. They kept picking,

775
00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:37.679
<v Speaker 2>they kept sowing, they kept harvesting. And what God had

776
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:40.880
<v Speaker 2>to do is he had to let them be taken

777
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:46.519
<v Speaker 2>into captivity so the land could rest. My question to

778
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:48.480
<v Speaker 2>you is what are you still working that God is

779
00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:54.440
<v Speaker 2>requiring rest from? The sad truth is God allowed all

780
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:57.360
<v Speaker 2>those people to be taken into captivity. And this is

781
00:51:57.400 --> 00:51:58.039
<v Speaker 2>my point.

782
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Constant activity leads to captivity.

783
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:05.800
<v Speaker 2>If you're always doing something, something's gonna trap you up.

784
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.639
<v Speaker 2>There shouldn't be this many energy drinks that are successful.

785
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Core rage monster. Just say any kind of word and

786
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:23.559
<v Speaker 2>it's an energy drink. Don't give me no emails. But

787
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:28.840
<v Speaker 2>coffee shouldn't be making that much money.

788
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:31.559
<v Speaker 3>That coffee is not just because it tastes good. Stop it,

789
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:35.119
<v Speaker 3>stop it. You're tired.

790
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not all of it, but some of it is.

791
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I got to do this.

792
00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:43.760
<v Speaker 3>I got to stay up.

793
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I got to do this because somewhere in my life

794
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not rested. There's pills, there's adderalls, there's all kinds

795
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:56.440
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, there's a People do all kinds of stuff

796
00:52:56.480 --> 00:52:57.920
<v Speaker 2>to do what they think they need to do when

797
00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:08.760
<v Speaker 2>God's already given us a gift. And today I'm asking

798
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:14.599
<v Speaker 2>you to activate your faith. If you have faith to pray,

799
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:17.519
<v Speaker 2>you have faith to come to salvation, if you have

800
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:21.400
<v Speaker 2>faith to believe in miracles, if you have faith for

801
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:23.440
<v Speaker 2>all these other things in our Christian faith. I'm going

802
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 2>to ask you to add one more to that. Would

803
00:53:25.480 --> 00:53:30.360
<v Speaker 2>you please have faith to rest? Matter of fact, you

804
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:37.239
<v Speaker 2>might need crazy faith to do this. What would happen

805
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:45.119
<v Speaker 2>if our love was actually rested? How would we interact

806
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:47.400
<v Speaker 2>with our children, and our kids and our neighbors, all

807
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:50.519
<v Speaker 2>the people that we were called to help. Know Jesus,

808
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:54.960
<v Speaker 2>some of us can't even interact with the people around

809
00:53:55.039 --> 00:54:01.039
<v Speaker 2>us because we're just we're so unrested. You know, when

810
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:05.199
<v Speaker 2>you're not rested and you got one nerve, I don't

811
00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:07.039
<v Speaker 2>know where your nerve is, but like and then it

812
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:11.639
<v Speaker 2>just be like people get on your nerves. Somebody said,

813
00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:12.639
<v Speaker 2>my last nerve.

814
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Huh the kids you made out of love?

815
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:21.159
<v Speaker 2>You start from my wife. She says, go talk to

816
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:25.719
<v Speaker 2>your father, and it's like your father the eighties are kids.

817
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Your dad will help you.

818
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:34.679
<v Speaker 3>WHOA. What she really does is said, your daughter needs you.

819
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:42.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, hold on your daughter, our daughter? Why? Why?

820
00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:48.400
<v Speaker 2>It's because when you're unrested. Maybe this is my last point.

821
00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Rest produces restoration. If you would rest something on the

822
00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:02.159
<v Speaker 2>inside of you would come back a lot. If you

823
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:05.159
<v Speaker 2>would rest that creativity, that you better I'm having writers brought.

824
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:10.760
<v Speaker 2>You're tired, and it's been tired. Listen the children of Issuel,

825
00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:12.960
<v Speaker 2>he had to let the land rest. The equivalent, if

826
00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:15.400
<v Speaker 2>you study it out, was the amount of sabbaths they

827
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:20.400
<v Speaker 2>skipped that they had to let the land rest. Your

828
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:25.559
<v Speaker 2>body is keeping score, and so is God. I'm gonna

829
00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:28.960
<v Speaker 2>say something that's strong. I'm gonna say something that's strong,

830
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:31.400
<v Speaker 2>but I need you to hear me say it. There

831
00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:34.599
<v Speaker 2>are people that I know God had to sit down

832
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:39.360
<v Speaker 2>because they wouldn't sit down. You could take that however

833
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:43.320
<v Speaker 2>you want to take it, but you shouldn't. You that

834
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:49.840
<v Speaker 2>little boopy, that little ankle sprain should not have taken

835
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:51.159
<v Speaker 2>you out for six months.

836
00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:54.920
<v Speaker 3>But what I'm saying is God.

837
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Was like, you will not You won't rest, you won't

838
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.960
<v Speaker 2>sit down, you won't you won't stop, you won't reflect,

839
00:56:03.840 --> 00:56:11.039
<v Speaker 2>you won't refrain, you won't repair, you won't restore, you

840
00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:21.639
<v Speaker 2>won't renew, you won't revive. Y'all want a revival, I

841
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:26.079
<v Speaker 2>bet you it'll come if we start resting then spending

842
00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:30.199
<v Speaker 2>time with God, and in that prayer, we're not struggling

843
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to get a word from God. He just drops it

844
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:37.480
<v Speaker 2>because it's just the context of our relationship. He's like, oh,

845
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:39.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna oh yeah, yeah, you've been resting all day.

846
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I know you're gonna need this tomorrow. Do you know

847
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:44.119
<v Speaker 2>all of the things that have been most impactful in

848
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:50.320
<v Speaker 2>my life has happened after I've rested the ideas the

849
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:53.840
<v Speaker 2>books Relationship Goals was the first series that I preached

850
00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:57.280
<v Speaker 2>off a sabbatical. So it was crazy faith. So was

851
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:01.239
<v Speaker 2>everything else that ever was. I'm just like, I just

852
00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:04.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like there's an impact that God gives. I'll give

853
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:05.440
<v Speaker 2>you one last example.

854
00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:06.400
<v Speaker 3>The children of Israel.

855
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:09.599
<v Speaker 2>They were supposed to pick up food for six days,

856
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:13.840
<v Speaker 2>but on the sixth day he put double out, so

857
00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:15.599
<v Speaker 2>on the seventh day they didn't have to work.

858
00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:17.679
<v Speaker 3>He's that good.

859
00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:20.679
<v Speaker 2>He said, don't try to store it. He said, if

860
00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:23.159
<v Speaker 2>you store it and you try to harvest it, it'll rot.

861
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:27.519
<v Speaker 2>And some of you have been frustrated because what you've

862
00:57:27.559 --> 00:57:31.840
<v Speaker 2>been working for has rotted. You thought it was gonna

863
00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:33.159
<v Speaker 2>be more for you. You thought it was going to

864
00:57:33.199 --> 00:57:35.440
<v Speaker 2>create security and abundance. And God said, that's got a

865
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:38.840
<v Speaker 2>rock because you're not obeying me. But if you would

866
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:44.920
<v Speaker 2>rest let me work, I'll double it. I'll multiply it.

867
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you what your work did not deserve.

868
00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:50.599
<v Speaker 3>All why because it's my nature.

869
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm the God who does exceedingly abundantly above all you

870
00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:05.639
<v Speaker 2>can ask, think, imagine, or come to me. All who

871
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:09.119
<v Speaker 2>are weary and I will give you Say it with me.

872
00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Are you tired? Are you tired today? God wants to

873
00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:24.599
<v Speaker 2>give you rest. Many of you know that this is

874
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the time of the year, if you're new at our church,

875
00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:31.159
<v Speaker 2>that I take a time of rest.

876
00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Since the beginning of our church, my.

877
00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Oversight pastor, Pastor Tim Ross, has told me it's like

878
00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:42.840
<v Speaker 2>you got to take a break every summer because I

879
00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:47.159
<v Speaker 2>need to make sure that you don't need that like

880
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:52.920
<v Speaker 2>you think you need it. And I need to make

881
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:58.159
<v Speaker 2>sure that your family is the thing that lasts. And

882
00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I've watched people give their whole life to men, industry

883
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:02.679
<v Speaker 2>and lights and big and all this other stuff and

884
00:59:03.199 --> 00:59:08.880
<v Speaker 2>gain the whole world and lose their soul. And every

885
00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:10.760
<v Speaker 2>summer there's people like, well, I'm not going to church

886
00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:17.760
<v Speaker 2>because passion, Why ain't there? Like I'm not God. I

887
00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:20.199
<v Speaker 2>would really like you to know I love I'm human

888
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:21.960
<v Speaker 2>through I love that you like how I speak and

889
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:22.639
<v Speaker 2>all that other stuff.

890
00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:27.280
<v Speaker 3>But God can use a donkey, and.

891
00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes that's how I feel up here. He all like,

892
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:33.320
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that's exactly how I feel like He can use.

893
00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:38.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm just being real man, like.

894
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:41.559
<v Speaker 2>I got much rather to do some other stuff that

895
00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:43.360
<v Speaker 2>was more low key and different things like this is

896
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:44.920
<v Speaker 2>what he called me to do. So I stand up

897
00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:47.679
<v Speaker 2>here every Sunday and do it to the best of

898
00:59:47.719 --> 00:59:51.440
<v Speaker 2>my ability. Not perfection but progression. But one thing that

899
00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:54.599
<v Speaker 2>I am doing is I following the method. And so

900
00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:58.480
<v Speaker 2>for the next couple of months, I'm not gonna be here.

901
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:04.159
<v Speaker 2>And I want to say this because most pastors hide it.

902
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:07.159
<v Speaker 2>They do y'all know, y'all have made pastors in America

903
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:11.159
<v Speaker 2>so scared to even tell you that they're not gonna

904
01:00:11.159 --> 01:00:17.079
<v Speaker 2>be there because you gonna vote whether you come or

905
01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>not to hear from God if they gonna be there.

906
01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:25.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a slave no more. I'm free. So I'm

907
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:27.159
<v Speaker 2>just gonna I'm gonna let you. I'm gonna let you

908
01:00:27.239 --> 01:00:30.119
<v Speaker 2>know right now, I'm not gonna be here. I'm gonna

909
01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:32.840
<v Speaker 2>be with God. I'ma be with Natalie'm gonna be with

910
01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:35.519
<v Speaker 2>them kids. I'm gonna I'm gonna be praying every day

911
01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:38.280
<v Speaker 2>for you. I can't take a break from that. That's

912
01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:41.599
<v Speaker 2>my job as your pastor. I go to God on.

913
01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Your behalf and ask God for wisdom. I'm asking God

914
01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:45.960
<v Speaker 3>for what is the word of the year.

915
01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Where are we going? What are you saying for us

916
01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>to do?

917
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:49.719
<v Speaker 3>Are we doing conference next year?

918
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Are we not? God? How? I'm putting everything on the table.

919
01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:56.199
<v Speaker 2>The reason I'm telling you this is because I want

920
01:00:56.199 --> 01:01:00.199
<v Speaker 2>you to be this free in your own life, to

921
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>create some patterns that allow you and listen. I just

922
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>need everybody to hear me. I'm not going to speak

923
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>for other people. I'm not now working, working, working, working,

924
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:15.559
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not working here. I am really trying to

925
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:19.679
<v Speaker 2>reset my soul. And if you love me and you

926
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:23.119
<v Speaker 2>love this church, pray for me. This has gotten to

927
01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>a place that was out of my sight. This is

928
01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>beyond my wildest dreams and imagination.

929
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:30.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm just out here trying to follow God.

930
01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>And I believe that we are called to represent God

931
01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:37.599
<v Speaker 2>to the lost and found for one reason, what is

932
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>it transformation in Christ? And so I would just ask

933
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>that you pray for me. I don't want to let

934
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>you know. The one thing a good restaurant owner is

935
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:54.079
<v Speaker 2>never gonna do is leave you without a bomb chef.

936
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:59.039
<v Speaker 2>The one thing you gonna do every Sunday here is

937
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:02.199
<v Speaker 2>you gonna eat eat. You're not just gonna eat, you

938
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna you know, as you put it twice. Hey, So

939
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I just want everybody to know Pastor Charles is about

940
01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to do a brand new series that's about to and

941
01:02:19.039 --> 01:02:21.519
<v Speaker 2>then Pastor Tim Ross is gonna come behind him and

942
01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>do a whole series like this summer you about to

943
01:02:27.000 --> 01:02:35.239
<v Speaker 2>ee because God can use anybody that's willing and open.

944
01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>What I'm asking us, let's grow. But I don't want

945
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:41.440
<v Speaker 3>this just to be for me.

946
01:02:41.599 --> 01:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I've embraced this principle so much that there are people

947
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>that leave.

948
01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:46.679
<v Speaker 3>The church every year.

949
01:02:46.719 --> 01:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I take us about a gole. No pastor, shit da

950
01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:51.440
<v Speaker 2>da da da. Hold on, wait a minute. Pastoring is

951
01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>the only full contact sport without an off season. People

952
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:01.679
<v Speaker 2>will cuss you, fuss you, talk about you, may YouTube

953
01:03:01.719 --> 01:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>videos about you, and you're supposed to just get up

954
01:03:03.199 --> 01:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>there and pray for him. Sometimes we need time to heal.

955
01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Here be held, I'm being too vulnerable. Okay. What I'm

956
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:20.119
<v Speaker 2>trying to tell you is this is so real that

957
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>you need it in your own life. So I'm just

958
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna ask you, we get seven days before next Sunday.

959
01:03:27.840 --> 01:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Pick a day. Pick a day that you're gonna step

960
01:03:32.360 --> 01:03:36.559
<v Speaker 2>back from the work, step back even from social media,

961
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:39.159
<v Speaker 2>because some of y'all it's not even the work that

962
01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>exhausts you, it's the comparison that does. Comparison is exhausting.

963
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Just pick a day.

964
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Talk to your spouse about it, talk to your friend.

965
01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>If it starts at least coming out of your mouth,

966
01:03:55.960 --> 01:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's evidence that maybe one day it'll happen. Come on,

967
01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:01.440
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest. Some of y'all is just in your head,

968
01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:02.679
<v Speaker 2>and some of y'all try to figure out, So how

969
01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:05.519
<v Speaker 2>do I do it? How do I er? I got you?

970
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:08.159
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have to learn how to do this. You're

971
01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:10.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to listen to this message every day this week.

972
01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:12.559
<v Speaker 2>You may be gonna have to go back and search

973
01:04:12.599 --> 01:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>the script. God, give me a revelation, North, South, give

974
01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>me a revelation so that I don't I don't break

975
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:31.960
<v Speaker 2>this standing all over this building. The last thing I

976
01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:34.440
<v Speaker 2>want to say to you, just because I don't want

977
01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you to get too spiritual and not realize the practical

978
01:04:39.039 --> 01:04:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I've tried to be practical through this whole message. But

979
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I want you to hear this last thing. Rest is

980
01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:53.519
<v Speaker 2>good and you can have recreation. Did you hear what

981
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:57.159
<v Speaker 2>I just said. I don't want you in a room

982
01:04:57.320 --> 01:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>with a candle for twenty four hours, No hear me?

983
01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:12.159
<v Speaker 2>Because I like, go do something recreational, Go fishing, Go

984
01:05:12.199 --> 01:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>take a walk in nature, go shopping within your means. Also,

985
01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to give you this because this is just

986
01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:28.159
<v Speaker 2>my heart as I do this, because people are about

987
01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:29.639
<v Speaker 2>to try to do this and I want I don't

988
01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:30.840
<v Speaker 2>want you to. I want to give you all that

989
01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:34.719
<v Speaker 2>I can right now. Also, if it starts off as

990
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:37.880
<v Speaker 2>rest and then it becomes work, it's no longer rest.

991
01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Me and Charles talk about it all the time. When

992
01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:46.559
<v Speaker 2>we start doing stuff. It might start off as rest

993
01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:49.639
<v Speaker 2>and then we start dialing it in. He became he

994
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:52.199
<v Speaker 2>started riding a bike, like what three or four years ago.

995
01:05:52.800 --> 01:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Three years ago he started riding bikes, and then now

996
01:05:55.960 --> 01:06:01.440
<v Speaker 2>he's like a professional bike rider. Like he'd be coming

997
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>to the house and fool.

998
01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:06.679
<v Speaker 3>Like gear and stuff. And I was like, what is this?

999
01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:11.519
<v Speaker 2>And he said it used to be RESTful, but then

1000
01:06:11.559 --> 01:06:13.880
<v Speaker 2>it turned into work, So it no longer doesn't mean

1001
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>he can't do it. It no longer can be considered

1002
01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:20.320
<v Speaker 2>a part of his sabbath unless he's doing it on

1003
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:25.239
<v Speaker 2>a huffy and the only way if it's a pink hoffy.

1004
01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:32.039
<v Speaker 2>I know you're not going hard, okay, cause sometimes golf

1005
01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:36.760
<v Speaker 2>might start off RESTful and then you're in a competition.

1006
01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:40.639
<v Speaker 3>Cooking, mate, start.

1007
01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Off rest you know what I'm gonna bake today, and

1008
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:44.719
<v Speaker 2>it's like the rest of the thing, the red velvement.

1009
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:51.159
<v Speaker 2>It's not right. No, you stressed. The reason I'm saying

1010
01:06:51.159 --> 01:06:54.840
<v Speaker 2>this is because watch this. If you lie to yourself,

1011
01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>you'll never live a right life. I'll never be there

1012
01:07:00.039 --> 01:07:02.559
<v Speaker 2>when you're doing what you're considering rest. You can convince

1013
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:04.800
<v Speaker 2>your husband or your wife as RESTful, but you will

1014
01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>be the only one that knows.

1015
01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't lie to you. Don't lie to your own soul.

1016
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Are you tired?

1017
01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Because God wants to give you rest.

1018
01:07:17.079 --> 01:07:18.960
<v Speaker 2>If you need rest in an area of your life,

1019
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>whether you're in this room or online, would you just

1020
01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:24.559
<v Speaker 2>lift your hands. I want to pray for you. Thank you, Lord,

1021
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, I thank you Lord God.

1022
01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Today here we all are.

1023
01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:38.199
<v Speaker 2>Saying that we need your rest rest for our souls. Today, Father,

1024
01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:41.719
<v Speaker 2>many of us are admitting we're tired, tired of how

1025
01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:45.000
<v Speaker 2>it's been done, tired of how we've had the function,

1026
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>tired of how we've chosen to live. And today we

1027
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>are coming to you and we're saying we want to

1028
01:07:51.039 --> 01:07:51.599
<v Speaker 2>do it your way.

1029
01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:56.960
<v Speaker 3>If you gave us a day of rest a sabbath as.

1030
01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:00.800
<v Speaker 2>A gift, today, we're going to unwrap that gift, and

1031
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:06.199
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna unwrap it every week. I'm praying for practical

1032
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>wisdom of how this applies to each one of our lives. God,

1033
01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:13.119
<v Speaker 2>for those of us who need to set boundaries, I

1034
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>thank you that you're giving us courage right now. For

1035
01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>those of us who need to even figure out language, Father,

1036
01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to be able to renegotiate things that we've already put

1037
01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>in place or contractor or said that we're gonna do. Father,

1038
01:08:27.640 --> 01:08:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I thank you that when you see your heart, you

1039
01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:31.399
<v Speaker 2>begin to work on the hearts of man.

1040
01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:35.079
<v Speaker 3>So today here we are, Father.

1041
01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Many of us. The reason why we're working so hard

1042
01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:41.279
<v Speaker 2>is because we're trying to make ends meet. And today, God,

1043
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking you that you would give us the ability

1044
01:08:44.760 --> 01:08:52.079
<v Speaker 2>to produce wealth but not have to sacrifice our health. God,

1045
01:08:52.079 --> 01:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking you to help us as a body to

1046
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>embrace your principles that are counter cultural. God, I'm gonna

1047
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:04.399
<v Speaker 2>go to Instagram today and ain't nobody gonna be telling

1048
01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:09.800
<v Speaker 2>me the rest. But your word has told me that

1049
01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:15.880
<v Speaker 2>this is an ancient practice that produces eternal results. So

1050
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>today I trust you. Would you calm the inner critic

1051
01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:27.119
<v Speaker 2>in me that has judged others for not working hard enough?

1052
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Would you? Would you calm Father, and even forgive the

1053
01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:38.239
<v Speaker 2>inner Pharisee and Sadducey that have literally mocked other people,

1054
01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Father God for doing too much? Today, Father God, I'm asking.

1055
01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm coming humbly asking you to give me grace to

1056
01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:52.720
<v Speaker 2>start a new pattern. Let my family benefit because of

1057
01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>this new pattern. Let my soul be refreshed because of

1058
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:03.239
<v Speaker 2>this new pattern. I trust you enough, and I have

1059
01:10:03.359 --> 01:10:16.800
<v Speaker 2>faith enough to rest. Thank you, Lord. I believe God's

1060
01:10:16.800 --> 01:10:18.439
<v Speaker 2>doing a work on the inside of some of you

1061
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>right now that won't be undone by hurry. I can

1062
01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:29.880
<v Speaker 2>even hear the single moms or even the people with

1063
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:30.880
<v Speaker 2>young children.

1064
01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:32.239
<v Speaker 3>Like, how am I gonna do this? God's gonna give

1065

1067
01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:41.520
<v Speaker 2>of rest for you. God's gonna give you some people

1068
01:10:41.560 --> 01:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>that can watch the children for a few hours to

<v Speaker 2>of y'all are the answers to people's prayers. Some of

1074
01:10:58.760 --> 01:11:02.159
<v Speaker 2>take them out, take them to the park. I just

1075
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.520
<v Speaker 2>feel like God's gonna give give all of us a

1076
01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:11.760
<v Speaker 2>peace to play. And how we all are sustained here

1077
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:15.840
<v Speaker 2>in this room under the sound of my voice, and

1078
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:19.039
<v Speaker 2>you're weary of life. I want you to know this.

1079
01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I was almost gonna make it my last point, but

1080
01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:23.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't give you nine last points already, So I'm

1081
01:11:23.960 --> 01:11:29.239
<v Speaker 2>about to go on sabbatica. God bless you. Rest is

1082
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>a person. He said, come to me, all who are weary,

1083
01:11:38.399 --> 01:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>and I'm.

1084
01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Gonna give you me. I'm gonna give you rest.

1085
01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm rest. I'm peace in the middle of the storm.

1086
01:11:51.399 --> 01:11:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm the way out of no way. I'm the corner stone.

1087
01:11:55.880 --> 01:12:01.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm the prince of peace. Rest has.

1088
01:12:02.039 --> 01:12:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Jesus.

1089
01:12:04.199 --> 01:12:08.479
<v Speaker 6>If you need rest, You actually need Jesus.

1090
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:12.000
<v Speaker 3>This is why you can't get it in nothing else.

1091
01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:15.199
<v Speaker 2>This is why when people try to make false gods

1092
01:12:15.239 --> 01:12:17.319
<v Speaker 2>and all that stuff, they live their life working. Because

1093
01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:20.239
<v Speaker 2>he said, I am rest. I'm the one that makes

1094
01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:23.239
<v Speaker 2>you stop working. I'm the eternal sacrifice. Listen to his language.

1095
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>It is finished. Think about the language Jesus talks about.

1096
01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:28.760
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I'm the one that finished it all.

1097
01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:30.720
<v Speaker 3>So you could rest.

1098
01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:35.199
<v Speaker 2>All you have to do is receive me. So today,

1099
01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:38.119
<v Speaker 2>your first step to walking into rest, if you're tired

1100
01:12:38.119 --> 01:12:40.439
<v Speaker 2>of how life has treated you and what you've been

1101
01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>going through, is to accept Jesus. He is rest for

1102
01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>your soul, not just today, eternally your name will be

1103
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:51.079
<v Speaker 2>written in the Lamb's Book of life. Pastor Mike, how

1104
01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:53.000
<v Speaker 2>can you do this? Because he takes people like me

1105
01:12:54.319 --> 01:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>who are liars and manipulators and addicted to pornography. I

1106
01:12:57.399 --> 01:12:59.319
<v Speaker 2>have all kinds of bad stuff in my heart, and

1107
01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:03.359
<v Speaker 2>God said I'll take you if you'll receive me. And

1108
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I gave him all my heart and he helped me

1109
01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:10.439
<v Speaker 2>change my habits. Today, if that's you in this room

1110
01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:13.960
<v Speaker 2>or watching online, I don't care how you got here today,

1111
01:13:14.119 --> 01:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>is the day of salvation, and I need the church

1112
01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:18.840
<v Speaker 2>to begin to pray because somebody's eternity is in the

1113
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:21.279
<v Speaker 2>balance right now. You may have been walking around God

1114
01:13:21.319 --> 01:13:22.880
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, but he wants you to walk

1115
01:13:22.920 --> 01:13:26.640
<v Speaker 2>with him today. I want to introduce you to rest.

1116
01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:31.239
<v Speaker 2>I want to introduce you to Jesus and just a moment,

1117
01:13:31.279 --> 01:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to pray, and if you want to be

1118
01:13:33.560 --> 01:13:35.319
<v Speaker 2>included in this prayer, I just want you to slip

1119
01:13:35.359 --> 01:13:37.039

1120
01:13:37.079 --> 01:13:38.880
<v Speaker 2>want to be included in that prayer. I want to

01:13:49.239 --> 01:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>reason that Jesus came so that you could have freedom

1126

<v Speaker 2>in your own life. One, you're making the greatest decision

01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:21.680
<v Speaker 2>give God praise right there? Hear me? Hear me. We're

1137
