18
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>It is about spreading the good old Gospel, about spreading

19
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 2>what the good Old bi Ble has to say, the

20
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>basic instructions before leaving Earth. Manuel I like to call it.

21
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>And if this is your first time stumbling upon a

22
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 2>biblical podcast like this and you're wondering, what's going on,

23
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>who's the goofball talking? Why am I here? In hip

24
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>hop nonsense in the background. Well, listen, want you to

25
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>pump the brakes, take a seat, come on here to

26
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the table, because we have a phrase around here for

27
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 2>the non believers, believers, atheists, it doesn't matter, and that

28
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 2>phrase is we dare you. We dare you to start

29
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>your faith, reignite your faith, kind of walk in your

30
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>faith a little bit deeper with what we have to

31
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>share on the show through the form of testimony, transparency

32
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 2>and more. Here on, let's get biblical and let's do that.

33
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Shall We today want to talk about how God is moving.

34
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>God is moving, even though you may not think he's

35
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>moving in your life, especially believers non believers, he is moving.

36
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I want you to think about something last week, maybe

37
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>something horrible you were going through, and try to think

38
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>of something good. Try to find that silver lining that's movement.

39
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>And I know you might be saying, Katie, I have

40
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>nothing good to be living for. Well, he likes to

41
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 2>think the other way, because you're waking up every day

42
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>with brand new breath. I know that's a cop out.

43
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>But God is moving. He's breathing breath into your lungs

44
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 2>every single day. I have seen miracles happen. I have

45
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 2>seen my very own baby come out of a womb

46
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>looking like a blue smurf with no life, and all

47
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden we prayed and guess what, God breathe

48
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 2>life into that miracle baby. See, we want to see

49
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>all these miracles happened, right. We want to see the

50
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.719
<v Speaker 2>red sea part like Moses. We want to see mountains moved.

51
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 2>That's how I'll become a believer. Right, that's what you're

52
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>probably saying. But you're overlooking the little blessings in your life,

53
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>which is that breath in your lungs. And it kind

54
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>of coincides with what we're talking about today with God moving.

55
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>He's moving all over this world right now. And if

56
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 2>you can't see it, that's okay. You might have a

57
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 2>little bit of that wool on your eyes. You can

58
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 2>be like the Apostle Paul before he became the Apostle Paul,

59
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 2>and he was out killing and martyring Christians. I mean,

60
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>he was the top dude for Rome, going out knocking

61
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>out these Christians. But one day he was knocked off

62
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>his high horse, literally saw the Angel and his life

63
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>had changed. He also was blind in jail first. That's

64
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 2>where we get the phrase once you were blind. Now

65
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>you can see. Paul wrote over two thirds of the

66
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 2>New Testament for the Lord. He went on to be

67
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>one of the biggest disciples for God. God wants the

68
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>same thing for you. He wants the same thing for

69
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 2>this world. And this is why right now we're going

70
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>to remove a little bit of that veil off your eyes,

71
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 2>because you can see how God is moving in the world.

72
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 2>For one reason, you can start to see your pop

73
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>music billboard tracks right all over the world. You're going

74
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 2>to see music from Brandon Lake, maybe even Jelly Roll.

75
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>You might even see Forest Frank. You may see others

76
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>on that top one hundred pop list. That's because today's

77
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>younger generation is reaching and seeking Jesus. They want to

78
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>hear this type of music. They want to hear more

79
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 2>happy and positive, motivational music. That is what's happening. I'm

80
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 2>a product of the nineties, limp, biscuit corn NWAA, angry stuff.

81
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>We're not really seeing of that anymore, but you are

82
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>seeing the other You're starting to see more kind of

83
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>sexual dominated music Sabrina Carpenter and others bb REX. The

84
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>list goes on and on, but Christian music is starting

85
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 2>to move up those charts. Jesus is moving there. Maybe

86
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 2>only a little bit, but Jesus is moving. How about

87
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>in other countries like Africa, not just the good old

88
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>United States. By the way, the Bible last year saw

89
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>a twenty percent spike in sales. Twenty percent spike in

90
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>sales last year. We're seeing more younger generational kids from

91
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 2>the ages of fifteen to twenty five going to church

92
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>seeking Jesus. This is a movement. How about countries like Africa. Well,

93
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>I have a mentor at our church that goes over

94
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 2>to Tanzania every year, and their Pentecostal churches right now

95
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>are about seventeen thousand Pentecostal churches. I know what you're thinking.

96
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>That don't sound like much. The United States has fifteen thousand.

97
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 2>There is a movement happening. There's more and more teachers

98
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 2>going over, more and more missionaries to teach the word

99
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 2>of God. We're seeing the Bible unfold in twenty twenty six,

100
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>right in front of our eyes. I know you don't

101
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>want to believe that. But we are in what they

102
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>call the church age in the Bible, that's right before

103
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Jesus returns. And now I'm not saying he's returning tomorrow.

104
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying next week. I'm saying he's going to return.

105
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 2>And I might have lost some of you guys right now.

106
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to lost the non believer of the atheist.

107
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 2>But that's okay. That little seed of Jesus has already

108
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 2>been planted, and we want to pray that the Lord

109
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>cultivates that in your heart right now, because I know,

110
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 2>in the name of Jesus, for those non believers out

111
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 2>there that are listening, your life will be changed and

112
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:03.800
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see God change and move in your life.

113
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 2>But we're starting to see a revival in the United

114
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 2>States and all around the world. You're starting to see

115
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 2>more movies that are Christian based connotations. You're starting to

116
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.959
<v Speaker 2>see more documentaries that are being released by thelogians and

117
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>historians worldwide to show the life of Jesus and the

118
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 2>disciples and the pursuit of God, the one and only

119
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 2>true God. This is an amazing movement we're seeing, and

120
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>this is God moving guys. You don't believe it. Go

121
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 2>google Christian deaths worldwide. There are people being killed in

122
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 2>martyred daily, especially in Africa. The number is astounding. Just

123
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.279
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty six, at least forty eight hundred Christians

124
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>were killed worldwide for their faith. In Nigeria, thirty five

125
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred of them were the deaths. Notice I've said five

126
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>thousand almost worldwide. A couple of years ago that number

127
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 2>was even doubled. By the way. This is biblical. It

128
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 2>says in the end days we will be martyred and

129
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>killed as Christians. You see, when we live in the

130
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>United States, we got this westernized philosophy that it's just us.

131
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>We're the only thing in this great, huge world and

132
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 2>even universe. The United States is greater than others. Listen,

133
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>it's okay to be patriotic. I'm patriotic, but when you

134
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 2>have this idea, this egotistical centralization of only us and

135
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.039
<v Speaker 2>nobody else, that's why you won't believe certain things in

136
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>the Bible. Not getting killed over here, but when Christians

137
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.440
<v Speaker 2>go out and speak the Gospel, you're starting to see

138
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 2>him be martyred by lgbtqu events. You're starting to see

139
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 2>others come up even Muslim Islamic are starting to come

140
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:23.799
<v Speaker 2>into the United States and test Christians. But the great

141
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 2>thing about being a Christian is I only got to

142
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.399
<v Speaker 2>care about my personal relationship with Christ and spread the gospel.

143
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 2>That's it. I don't have to know everything because I'm

144
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>not going to know everything. What else are you know?

145
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Jesus and I are going to have to talk about

146
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 2>the day that I'm up in heaven. That's it. The

147
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 2>spurs continuing the wind, I don't know. That's in Jesus' hands.

148
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Do the Yankees win another world title? No, He's going

149
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 2>to show me all the other things that I didn't

150
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 2>quite understand and need to learn. God is moving. I

151
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.679
<v Speaker 2>see him moving in everybody's lives. I see men in

152
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 2>my Band of Brothers group. Big shout out to you guys,

153
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 2>by the way, my band of Brothers who listen to

154
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the show. I'm seeing guys and the Holy Spirit work

155
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>in them. They were acting a certain way when they

156
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>came in, and now you can see the focus and

157
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 2>now they're love and they're walking closer with Jesus. Thank

158
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.159
<v Speaker 2>you Jesus for that, and I hope the same thing

159
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 2>from you guys. This is kind of that big brother

160
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 2>moment today on the podcast where I take you and

161
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm shaking you just a little bit, kind of like

162
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the apostle Peter would in the Bible sometimes and look

163
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>at somebody say I don't have money. I have something

164
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 2>more than that for you. Do you want it or not?

165
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.120
<v Speaker 2>And that's kind of what this podcast is about today,

166
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 2>about showing you how God is moving. You're seeing more books, movie,

167
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>music documentaries about him. Then go look at the other

168
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 2>end of the stick. How's it being combated in the world.

169
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>You're starting to see more horror movies, things about Satanic rituals,

170
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 2>movies like Him that's an athletic football based movie, basically

171
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 2>talking about Satanism. You're starting to see more of those

172
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>type of movies, sinners, and just remember in the Bible

173
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 2>it does say improper balance are an abomination to the Lord.

174
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 2>You got to keep things balanced. Do I watch stuff

175
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 2>like that, Sure, because I like certain actors, I like storylines,

176
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I watch wrestling, I watch good versus evil. But then

177
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I get my nose in the Bible. I'll pray for

178
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 2>protection over that so I don't have these evil thoughts

179
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.960
<v Speaker 2>come in. I don't allow the devil to have a

180
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>foothold because he is not welcomed here in the name

181
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 2>of Jesus. You know, that's all you have to say.

182
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>That's simple for my non believers out there. If you're

183
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>having such a hard time, you atheists out there, devil,

184
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>you're no longer welcomed here in the name of Jesus.

185
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.399
<v Speaker 2>You will not have a foothold in my life. You

186
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 2>must believe it, you must have faith in it. You

187
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>can't just say it. It's not a magic lamp, not

188
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>a genie, as we say around here. But God is moving.

189
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 2>If people are being martyred and killed daily worldwide, if

190
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>we're starting to see a movement in the entertainment world,

191
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.440
<v Speaker 2>God is moving. But what does the Bible say about

192
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>God moving? Well, there's plenty of verses. All you have

193
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>to do is to use the good old use the

194
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 2>good old computer. That's right, Use your good old computer.

195
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, that little thing with the buttons and go

196
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>click clack on it, and you can go to this

197
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 2>thing called Google or Bang and you just put in

198
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>you put in Bible verses on God's movement, Bible verses

199
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>on fear, whatever you want to put in there. And

200
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of great things that pop up, and

201
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a great way to get the word of God

202
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 2>into your life. But the best way to do it

203
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>is get yourself a good old paper Bible, look it

204
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>up online, look it up in the Bible. And God

205
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to leave you or lead you in other directions.

206
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 2>He's going to leave you in amazement every time I

207
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>open this up. It's not a historical book. Just to me,

208
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 2>it is a love letter. And I'm literally flipping. You

209
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 2>can probably hear me. That's me flipping through my big

210
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 2>old Bible as I speak. But what does the Bible

211
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>say on God moving? One of my favorite ones is Isaiah,

212
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>chapter forty three, verse nineteen. For I am I'm about

213
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>to do something new. We're seeing that right now, guys.

214
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 2>There's a new movement in this world. Things are happening.

215
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>He goes on to say, see I have already begun.

216
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh I love that, especially what's going on today. Do

217
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>you not see it? He says, I will make a

218
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers and a

219
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>dry wasteline wasteland. I wish you would make a dry

220
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 2>river in my wastline. I'm gonna be honest with you,

221
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>that would help me a little bit, but I gotta

222
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>pray for it. Right but I definitely will repeat that.

223
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah chapter forty three, verse nineteen, will go over it.

224
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.840
<v Speaker 2>For I am about to do something new. See I

225
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.159
<v Speaker 2>have already begun. Do you not see it? I will

226
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 2>make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers

227
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>in a dry wasteland. This is wonderful because if you

228
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>break this down, he is doing something new right now.

229
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>He's working within you. You're listening to a biblical podcast.

230
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 2>You may have never listened to anything like this, But he's

231
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>about to do something new in you. He's already begun.

232
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 2>He's telling you this, this stuff in the Bible. He's

233
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>speaking to us. They are not lies. They are commands.

234
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 2>He is speaking. He's even speaking commands over you right here.

235
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>For I'm about to do something new. See I've already begun.

236
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you not see it? I love that because I

237
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 2>could always picture our father in heaven just like our

238
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>father's on earth. And you may have grown up without

239
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.039
<v Speaker 2>a father, and that's okay, But think of a leader,

240
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.360
<v Speaker 2>mentor somebody that you looked up to, an aunt, uncle, cousin,

241
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:53.279
<v Speaker 2>a brother, sister, teacher. They repeat this to you and

242
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:57.399
<v Speaker 2>say do you not see it? And me, as a

243
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>brother in Christ with you, is saying it the same

244
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.159
<v Speaker 2>way context do you not see it? I want you

245
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>to see this, and you're trying to see it because

246
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.919
<v Speaker 2>you're listening to a podcast. You're kind of slowly thumbing

247
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>through a Bible. Maybe you've opened up Bible dot org

248
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 2>and you started to put in verses onhappiness or whatever

249
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.799
<v Speaker 2>it may be starting to work. I will make a

250
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>pathway through the wilderness. We all got to go through

251
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 2>that wilderness. John the Baptist went to go live in it.

252
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 2>He lived in the wilderness. He did not start his

253
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.519
<v Speaker 2>ministry until the age of thirty, and his biggest thing

254
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>he did was baptized people, including Jesus, in the River Jordan.

255
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Why do I mention John the Baptist in the wilderness.

256
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 2>His father was a Pharisees. He was a part of

257
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.519
<v Speaker 2>that hierarchy. He could have had that life, but he

258
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 2>was the one to pave the way for Jesus. And

259
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 2>guess what, Jesus is paving the way for you right

260
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 2>now to come back home to him, to return to

261
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.079
<v Speaker 2>his arms so he can give you that agape love

262
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>that you've been missing. In your life. I will make

263
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 2>a pathway through the wilderness. You're in the wilderness right now.

264
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Some of us know what that's like. Some of us

265
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.440
<v Speaker 2>go through the wilderness a couple times a year. I

266
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.039
<v Speaker 2>went through it million of times in my life. But

267
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 2>each time I go through the wilderness and I go

268
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>through the valley, I see that beautiful valley growing with

269
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.079
<v Speaker 2>a river, vegetation, and that's where things grow. Sit in

270
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>that valley a little bit. Stop worrying about getting to

271
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the top of the mountain. Go through the wilderness. He's

272
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 2>going to pave that way for you. I will create

273
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>rivers instead. See God is so good. I didn't expect

274
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.799
<v Speaker 2>to say what I would say about the valley and

275
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the mountain and the final line of this versus, I

276
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:04.240
<v Speaker 2>will create rivers in a dry wasteline, wasteland waistline. I

277
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>cannot you know, I need to start a diet. I'm

278
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be honest with you. But again, Isaiah forty three, nineteen,

279
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.720
<v Speaker 2>And I hope you guys can see that movement happening

280
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:22.039
<v Speaker 2>in your life. I see it in mine. I see

281
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:27.880
<v Speaker 2>it in my kids, my wife, our church, our pastoral leaders,

282
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>and the new people coming to church. And this is

283
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>awesome because a couple of weeks ago we had what

284
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:41.519
<v Speaker 2>resurrection Sunday and you're hearing this message. There's a resurrection

285
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 2>coming into your life, and that resurrection starts now. But

286
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 2>the question is are you gonna keep ignoring it? Are

287
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>you going to listen to the proverbia little devil on

288
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you left shoulder when you have Jesus on the right

289
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Notice I use Jesus as the right one. Are you

290
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:15.160
<v Speaker 2>tired of the whispers? Are you tired of living in

291
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the wilderness? Are you ready for a revolution? Are you

292
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:28.519
<v Speaker 2>ready for a revival in your life? That moment starts now. Now.

293
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:32.319
<v Speaker 2>You may have never prayed before, and that's okay, but

294
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I want you to repeat after me wherever you may be.

295
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Make sure you're in a safe place. Don't be on

296
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the treadmill during this, and all of a sudden you're

297
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:41.599
<v Speaker 2>trying to do it and you close your eyes and

298
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:47.160
<v Speaker 2>you're hitting the window because you've fell off that treadmill.

299
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Be somewhere safe and quiet. He wants to you to

300
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.319
<v Speaker 2>come to him in a quiet place and just repeat

301
00:19:55.319 --> 00:20:00.440
<v Speaker 2>after me, Dear God, I come to you and the

302
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:06.640
<v Speaker 2>precious name with Jesus. I'm a sinner. I fall short

303
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 2>of the glory of God daily. I'm tired of my

304
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:19.160
<v Speaker 2>life the way it is. I'm struggling, I'm hurting. I

305
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want to feel this way anymore. Dear Lord, I

306
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:29.359
<v Speaker 2>need you. I believe that you were born, that you

307
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 2>had died, and you returned on a third day. From

308
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:41.240
<v Speaker 2>my resurrection and yours. Dear Lord, take over my life.

309
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Make me new again. Become my personal Lord and Savior today.

310
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I love you, Lord. Allow me to follow you to

311
00:20:54.119 --> 00:21:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the end of my days. Make me make me chance ancient.

312
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:10.440
<v Speaker 2>You are my personal Lord and Savior. We pray in

313
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.079
<v Speaker 2>the precious name of Jesus. Amen. If you repeated that,

314
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the most elusive club in the world, the

315
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.680
<v Speaker 2>life of a Christian, a christ follower. I like to say,

316
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>what do you do next? Get in that Bible, Open

317
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>up the New Testament, Learn about Jesus himself. Learn from

318
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 2>the disciples that walked with him, Matthew, Mark, also Peter.

319
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Then move over to something I love. Is the Book

320
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>of Proverbs. Whatever the day is, if it's the fifteenth

321
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 2>or the fourteenth, start right there in Proverbs. Read one

322
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.279
<v Speaker 2>proverb a day for a month. Read the New Testament again.

323
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Go to the Old Testament and then just speak it. Lord,

324
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Where do you want me to go today? Speak to

325
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:12.279
<v Speaker 2>me through your words, your love letter that you've given us. Amen,

326
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.759
<v Speaker 2>just flip it open and He's going to lead you

327
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.839
<v Speaker 2>down an amazing path and get you out of that wilderness. Guys,
