That's just something. 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.760 May see. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:44.760 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:56.400 Jes Luke chapter eleven. 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:02.960 Luke Chapter eleven, a familiar scripture for our Bible study today, 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.800 remains standing for the Word of God. I want to 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.360 welcome you from wherever this message is finding you. I 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.040 pray that this word today finds you blessed, and if not, 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.360 maybe it'll leave you blessed when we get done. I 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.640 found out God never leaves me like he found me. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.920 He meets me where I am, but He loves me 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.000 too much to leave me there. So, however you came 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.119 in today, go ahead and say goodbye to it right now, 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.960 because you are not returning to that state of mind 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.720 when you leave this church today. In Jesus' name, are 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.160 y'all all right if we just sing a bunch of 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.000 new songs all month of September.

If you come on September 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.680 twenty six, you're gonna be singing solo. 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:06.440 So low they can't hear you. I'm a happy man. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.120 I have a full phone. We have so many new 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.200 songs to share with you, and I thank God for it. Today. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.280 The word of the Lord comes from Luke chapter eleven, 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.480 and I thank him for the deposit and the download 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:17.040 that he gave me. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:18.880 And I want to share it with you now, just 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:19.760 like he gave it to me. 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.320 Luke, chapter eleven. And you'll recognize it once we get 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.720 to verse number two. One day Jesus was praying in 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.200 a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.040 said to him, Lord, teach us to pray just as 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:34.320 John taught his disciples. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.040 Now I'm going to read this that was in the 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.880 NIV version where I normally read. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:39.800 I'm going to read this in the new King James 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.600 version because it's more familiar to many of us who 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.239 heard it growing up. So if you're confused looking on 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.840 your Bible, this is a little different translation than we 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:52.680 normally use. So he said to them, when you pray, 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:59.799 say our Father in heaven, hollow, it be your name. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.840 There is no other name. Hollow would be your name. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:06.959 There is no other name. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:13.600 Your name, your kingdom. Come, Your will be done on 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.360 earth as it is in heaven. Give us, day by 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.720 day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.519 we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:33.079 do not lead us into temptation. But deliver us from 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.040 the evil one. How many want God to do that 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:41.640 for you today? Deliver me from the evil one. Somebody 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.880 shall deliver me. Yeah, deliver us from the evil one. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.200 I really read all of the scriptures to get to 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:54.800 that part. Deliver us from the evil one. The title 0:03:54.880 --> 0:04:01.480 of my message today is delivered daily, Delivered daily. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.600 Put that into comments. Please delivered daily. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.920 Say it out loud, say delivered daily, and turn around 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.840 and tell three people God can get you out of this. 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.720 Come on, tell them with some confidence in charisma. Tell 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.040 them with some eye contacts, say God can get you 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.159 out of this. Put it in the comments. 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:28.560 I don't care what it is. 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.719 I don't care if it's a financial mess, I don't 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.920 care if it's a relational mess. God can get you 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.880 out of this. If it's in a pit with a 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.000 snowy day and a lion, God can get you out 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.719 of this. Yeah, if it's in a lions, then God 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.560 can get you out of this. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.960 We thank you God for your deliverance now in this 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.240 place in Jesus' name. Amen, you may be seen that 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.520 believe God can get you out of this. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.400 Well, you don't know what it is, don't need to. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.040 I checked his resume. He got some people out of 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.040 some stuff. Sometimes in the Bible, God can get you 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.800 out of this. Maybe your mom can't, maybe she's broke too, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.480 But God can get you out of this. Maybe your 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.240 husband can't, maybe he's depressed too, but God can get 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.120 you out of this. Maybe your staff can't, maybe they're 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.160 overwhelmed too, but God can get you out of this. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.920 Maybe your business partner can't, maybe he's worried too, but 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.839 God can get you out of this. Nobody said amen, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.320 all right, well, let me give your testimony then, since 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:45.479 you're gonna do me like that today. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:50.400 Up here, I'm privy pastorally to a lot of people 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.920 sharing more extreme situations than the average bear. People walk 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.920 up to me and tell me stuff that honestly, I 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.159 don't have a license to hear. I mean, you get everything, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.800 and I mean everything everything, don't we. Holly stand there 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.919 eating an ice cream cone one time in downtown Charleston 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.240 and a lady came up crying, and Holly. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.400 Was stuck because she's like, it's really hot outside and 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.359 she's like juwi. 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:26.720 The other day, a man came up to me at 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.760 Abby's soccer game. He blessed my whole day, and he 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.720 helped me figure out how I wanted to preach this 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.760 message to you. He was very emotional when we met. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.320 He said, you don't know what this means to me. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.480 I never thought i'd get to tell you your ministry 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.400 saved my life. I said, thank you, man, that means 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:49.839 a lot, Praise the Lord. He said, no, you don't 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.760 get it. You don't understand. I mean, I'm sorry, I'm 0:06:53.800 --> 0:07:00.359 kind of I'm former military. A lot of PTSD daughters 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.920 about to go out there and play soccer, man, and 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.120 I'm talking about I went from a gun in my 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:11.239 mouth to watching my daughter play soccer. 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:13.920 So thank you man. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.240 So then I gave him a bigger hug. I said, Bro, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.480 the whole soccer season was worth me getting to meet you. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.440 He goes, yeah, I didn't know whether to come up 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.120 at first. I didn't recognize you with your beard. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:38.360 Now that threw me. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.200 Because I learned how a beard for a minute. I 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.200 had a beard for about a decade. I said, I 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:53.200 thought you went to the church. I said this, do 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.800 you still go to the church. Now we're laughing, right, 0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.040 we're laughing, and we already had our emotional moment, so 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.600 I could pick on him a little bit and I said, Bro, 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:03.800 you ought to know I have a beard. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.240 You ought to have seen me since I had a beard. 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.960 What happened? And I wanted to bring my teaching screen 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:09.680 because I think. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.240 This is going to be the most helpful if I 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.640 make it visual, if you think about what he shared 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.160 with me when we met. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.480 It had a very dramatic sound to it. And I 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:21.960 believe that God does miracles. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.080 I do believe that people flush the pills instead of 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.920 swallowing them when God brings them out. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:28.680 I do believe that. 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.760 I do believe that God can take away the taste 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.240 for alcohol. And you say, I don't even know how 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.400 I drink it. It feels like urine in my refrigerator. 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.640 Now I don't want it. I believe that God can 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:40.920 do that. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:43.760 Now they're going to clip me for talking about urine 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.599 and the refrigerator, but I'm good with it. And the 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.000 main thing I want you to know is that God 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.800 can get you out of this. But I want to 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.000 be very careful with my summary. And I believe the 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.439 reason that some of us are slow to applaud when 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.240 I say it is because you've heard it before. 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.520 And he did, and then it didn't. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.320 So the way I saw it, as I was breaking 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.400 down what he said to me, he said, I went 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:15.760 from a very low place, a horrible place, the worst 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.480 place I wanted to end my life from the things 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.440 that I've been through and the things that I can't. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:22.400 Forget. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:29.040 And now God brought me to a much better place. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.839 Look at us out here on the soccer field. But 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.880 that beard made me ask him what's been going on 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.400 in between from. 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:48.920 And two? And he said, well, I kind of I 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:57.760 kind of been going through some things. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.880 And I realized is that when God brings you from something, 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.199 zoom all the way out to him. I need you 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.600 to get that screen. Thank you very much. When God 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:13.760 brings you from something to something, it does not always 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:18.920 feel like a straight line. Sometimes it takes you through 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:24.079 a red sea that is even scarier than the slavery 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.599 that God brought you from. And I realize that not 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.079 only he, but everybody in this room today is not 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:37.400 only going from something to something, but there is something 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:44.960 that you are going through, as you are going to say, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:51.000 from say to say, through no wonder. Jesus told the 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.800 disciples when you pray, not if you pray, you better pray. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.000 And when you do pray like this, elbow your neighbor 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.520 in their ribs and say you better pray. Tell them, 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.560 I looked at your TikTok, you better pray. I saw 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:08.400 your snapchat. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.880 You better pray. I met your wife. You no say 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.760 that to him. I met your kids. You better pray. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:17.760 But it is a chat. 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:23.000 You better pray because it is just not that simple 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.800 when God delivers you. You see how Jesus says it 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.960 in verse three, I want to read it again, he says, 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.200 but deliver us from the evil one. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:32.760 I was talking to another friend. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.160 This week and they said, oh, I've got great news 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.920 about our friend. And our other friend was someone who 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:42.240 had really, really damaged a lot of relationships and disappointed 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.079 a lot of people, and the amount of dysfunction and 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.760 betrayal was incredible with this person. And my friend was 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.560 telling me, Oh, it's all better now they got delivered, 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.800 and I smiled, but I doubted it. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.680 I doubted it, and I felt bad that I doubted it. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.000 Because why do I believe it when it's in the Bible, 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.280 But I don't believe it when it's somebody that betrayed me? 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.559 And when Jesus talks about forgive them, you know, and freedom. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.880 There are three elements to this model prayer. We call 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.160 it the Lord's prayer, but it's really just Jesus pulling 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.079 his disciples aside and saying, here's how you do it. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.839 When you pray, you want to know how to do it. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.120 You want to know how to avoid the things that 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.599 God wants to take you over, and you want to 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.560 know how to rise up above the things that. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.120 You're crushed up under. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.760 When you pray, pray like this, our Father in heaven, 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.600 holl will be your name, your kingdom come, your will 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:40.920 be done. 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.560 So first it's about his priorities. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.320 But then when you start praying about provision, I want 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.719 you to think in three terms. He uses food, he 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.240 uses forgiveness, and they'llbe he uses freedom. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.240 He says, God's going to give you bread. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.240 God's going to give you the ability to forgive, and 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.680 He's going to give you forgiveness for your sins. 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.199 And you don't really get to experience one without the other. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.480 And so Jesus says, there's gonna be food, there's gonna 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:09.079 be forgiveness. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.679 And then he makes this promise. He says, deliver us 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.439 from the evil one. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.920 Now, when you were saved, you were not just saved 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:24.640 by God through Jesus from your sins. You were saved 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:29.000 to walk in the newness of life. I said, you 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.520 weren't just saved from hell. It's not just so you 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.079 won't pop like oravile Reddenbachers one day while a guy 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.800 with a pitchfork stands over you. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.280 Burn, Burn Burn. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.839 I'm not just saved from something that's going to happen 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.400 one day. I am saved today to walk in the 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.520 newness of life, not one day when but here and now, 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.920 matter of fact, this is the day that the Lord 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.360 has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.480 God saved me from and God saved me too. But 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:07.400 that does not negate the fact that I am going through. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.400 And he told me I went from wanting to end 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.520 my life to standing here with my daughter. But to 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.880 be honest with you, this is what he said. Next, 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:21.920 he said, I've been going back to some things. I've 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.200 been going back. And I didn't embarrass him. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:27.880 I said, I get it. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:35.320 We all go back. Sometimes I will embarrass you if 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:36.920 you keep looking at me like you're so holy you 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.360 never go back. Sometimes the Lord will give me the 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.200 spirit of prophecy, and I'll call out your sin so 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.840 specific and I'll alphabetize them and I'll say them in Greek. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.760 I've been going back, he said. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.680 Well, that made me think not only about the Lord's 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.040 prayer where he said, deliver us from the evil one, 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.640 and when he said you should pray this, it made 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.160 me think about the central story in the Old Testament. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.120 To the people of God. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.760 Now, I want to give this to you as quickly 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.400 as possible. How much do you know about Moses? 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.080 Do you know that he lifted up his staff and 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.080 parted the Red Sea and the people went through. Okay, 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:17.600 so you know that. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.960 Do you know that the people had to walk through 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.800 walls of water on either side, probably terrified that they would. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:25.520 Collapse at any time. 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.040 You know that? So you know that when God brought 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.880 them from Egypt to the Promised Land, they had to 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:39.000 go through something to get there, and they had to 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.400 go through something that they had never been through before, 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.840 and that people normally didn't go through. The good news 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:51.880 was they made it through. Their enemies didn't. The good 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.760 news is God used what they went through to free 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.800 them from what they would have been tempted to go 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.400 back to. Is God using what you're going through? 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.400 I believe that he is. I believe that not only 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:06.640 can God get you out of this? 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.880 How many have been praying the prayer lately, God, get 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.120 me out of this in an area of your life. God, 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.680 if you get me out of this, I promise I will. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.640 I promise, I'll take notes. I promise I will listen 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.800 to I promise I'll listen to elevation worship. 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.040 I promise I'll listen. I promise God, I promise, God, 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:24.880 if you will. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.240 Get me out if she if that pregnancy test could 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.000 just come to God, if you could just get me 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.120 out of this, because I did not mean for it 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:32.640 to be a lifelong commitment. 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:33.920 God, get me out of this. 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.840 I will never sign a lease again on a card 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.040 that cost me seventeen thousand dollars a month to look 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.560 stupid driving down the road in traffic. People aren't paying 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.120 attention and I got ulcers. 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.320 God, get me out of this. Get me out of this. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.240 God, if you will get me out of this, and 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.400 then you know, like we were in the hospital with 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.720 Elijah earlier this summer, and I'm like, God, if you 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.920 get me out of this, I'll take the whole church. 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.400 On a mission trip. God will go to India. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:02.320 I'll launch a elevation cap, cut up God, whatever you do, Orphans, widows, peggars, whatever, 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.520 bring them onm God. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.800 And you know, ten minutes after you get out of it, 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:06.800 you're eating ice cream. 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:20.200 Because sometimes deliverance isn't always dramatic. That's what I want 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.840 to say to you today, because I think you've been discouraged, 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.000 because you've been thinking, Oh, I thought I was through 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.800 with this, but now I'm going back. And if we 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.200 ask you you'll share your testimony that you went from 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:36.200 death to life. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:42.920 But sometimes where is my pen? Jesus huh? I put 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:43.440 it on the thing. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:52.639 Yeah, sometimes I find myself going back to what He 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:58.159 brought me from, don't you. I met a lady who 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.960 was telling me she lost eighty pounds. I said, congratulations. 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.840 She said, don't congratulate me so quick. I said, eighty 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.200 pounds sounds like a reason to celebrate. She said no, 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.479 because ten years ago I lost one hundred and ten 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:09.399 and I put it all back on. 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:11.080 I went back. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.440 No, no, no, that's not funny. I don't say that 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.399 as a joke. I don't say that to Shamer. We 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.520 all have things that we thought we were through with. 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.200 We all have places we thought we had arrived too. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.040 But now I want to go back and in amazing 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.520 With the Israelites, you know, it's a crazy story. God 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.440 brings them from Egypt. They were enslaved for four hundred 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.879 and thirty years. They pray for God to bring them 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.399 from that place. Deliver us Lord, God sends a deliver 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:47.399 and they're in an interesting predicament. They are out of Egypt, 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.400 but they have nothing to eat because they are going 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:57.280 through the wilderness in that tricky when you're out of Egypt, 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.200 but you got nothing to eat. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:01.159 And if you go to. 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.800 Exitus chapter sixteen, verse two through four, it gives us 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.120 an interesting glimpse of what happens in our life. 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.280 Somebody say, God, get me out of this. I know 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:16.040 I'm asking you to. 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.400 Multitask and look up the scripture at the same time 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:22.000 you say something, but say it again. God, get me 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:26.040 out of this. Say God, if you get me out 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:30.440 of this, I'll give you all the glory. I'll tie 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:36.080 twenty five percent. How we do, God, get me out 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:40.639 of this. So they prayed, right, They prayed for years 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.440 and years. God deliver us from Pharaoh. Pharaoh was the 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.200 one who was making them make bricks without straw. Just 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.280 get us out of this, God, if you get us 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.760 out of this, we'll serve you. And in fact, when 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.879 they crossed over the Red Sea, they were shaking tambourines 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:56.920 and singing about the horse and the right of the 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.879 original disc track was sung by the prophetess Miriam in 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:03.400 Exodus chapter fifteen. 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:04.760 That's a true story. 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.800 And just after they made it through the sea, they 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.280 found themselves not in Egypt. 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:11.439 God delivered them. 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:17.960 From Egypt, But they are not yet two the promised land, 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.959 and they have come through the Red Sea, but they 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.520 are now in the desert, and they are starving, and 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.479 they are hungry, and they are uncomfortable, and they are 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:33.520 disoriented because the desert is disorienting. It's not where you're going, 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.120 and it's not where you came from, and you don't 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.439 know what to do in this season, and that can 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.160 cause tremendous anxiety, and so they begin to grumble. Look 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.159 at Exodus chapter sixteen, verse two. Can I teach the 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:49.480 Bible today in the desert the whole community grumbled against 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.760 Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, if only 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:59.400 we had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt, there 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.639 we sat around pots of meat and ate all the 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:06.600 carnivore diet we wanted. 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:09.840 But you have brought us. 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:18.320 Out from this land into this desert to starve this 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:24.600 entire assembly to death. Today, I'm speaking to somebody who 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.879 feels like you are dying in a desert. You are 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:30.359 not in the from, you were not in the two. 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:31.120 You were in the three. 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.280 And God did some amazing things from you, and he 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.760 delivered you from some evil things, some wicked things. 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:42.879 But you kind of go back sometimes, don't you. You 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:43.640 kind of go back. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:47.160 Some scholars say that it should have taken them three 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.720 weeks to go through the desert, but they got stuck 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:55.320 there for forty years because what should have been a 0:21:55.440 --> 0:22:07.040 line through the desert turned into a loop, and around 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.159 and around they went, and around and. 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:11.080 Around we go. 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.800 And God saved me. But I still struggle with that. 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.040 And God healed me, but I still have some pain 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.399 from that. And I forgave them, but I wanted to 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.000 flip them off. When I saw him the other day 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:25.600 and they came out of nowhere. Because I have been 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.240 praying for him, I was almost too come on, y'all, 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:28.760 help me shout. 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:29.480 I'll preach quicker. 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:31.760 I'll have you out for lunch if you will help 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:35.640 me shout. You know, there are some bondages that keep 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:39.840 pulling you back, that keep pulling you back, because I'm 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:44.440 not in heaven yet. And I am saved, I'm healed, 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:47.760 I'm delivered, I'm redeemed, i am cleansed, i am watched by. 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.880 The blood of the Lamb. I'm a child of God, 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:52.760 I'm the righteousness of Christ. And all of that is true. 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.800 I am brought from the dominion of darkness and saved 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.159 to the kingdom of his marvelous lights. To declare the 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.600 praises of Him who brought me out of darkness into 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.240 his marvelous life. And on my way into the marvelous light, 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:08.960 I am going through some darkness that I thought I 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.520 was done with, but I wound up in this desert. 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:12.600 And now I'm kind of. 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.320 Hungry and I have nothing to eat, and I'm kind 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.399 of mad about it, and I'm kind of wondering what 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:19.760 it'd be better for me to go back. But if 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.320 I keep going back to what God saved me from, 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:25.840 I musa spend forty years. I musa spend a whole lifetime. 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.840 And I've been going around this mountain long enough. And 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.800 I do not intend to get stuck in this same 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.119 place that my mama was in, that her mama was in, 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.200 that his and her daddy was in. I intend to 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:42.800 break a generational chain in the name of Jesus Shane's 0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:45.080 break drive bon sway. 0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:48.480 I do not intend to name every bone in the valley. 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.560 I intend to go through it. The Lord is my shepherd. 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:55.080 I shall not want he maketh me to lie down 0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:59.560 in green pastures. Yea, though I walk through the valley 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:01.879 of the out of a bed. This is not a 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:04.680 place for me to build a house. This is not 0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:06.880 a place for me to build an identity. 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.480 This is not a place for me to lay down 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.000 and die. I'm taking this gun. 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:15.040 Out of my mouth and I sound. 0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:25.000 God can get you out of this. God can get 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.520 you out of this. Tell seven people, God can get 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:29.080 you out of this. 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.679 God can get you out of this. God can get 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.640 you out of this. I'm not telling you what I think. 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.320 I'm not telling you what I feel. I'm telling you 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.560 what i've seen. I'm telling you what I know. 0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:48.840 God can get you out of this, but he wants 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:53.320 something more when he does, he wants glory out of it. 0:24:55.440 --> 0:25:01.159 And so the Bible says that they grumbled, and we 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:01.760 would too. 0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.560 Y'all are kind of mad right now because I'm preaching 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.720 a little long and there's air conditioning in this building, 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.040 and they're in the desert with nothing to eat and 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:14.360 no idea where it's gonna come from. 0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:18.359 Now watch this, because I am about to set you up. 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:21.680 And you even when i'm gonna telling you that, you're 0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.960 gonna shout when I read this verse but I am 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.520 setting you up, so I advise you not to shout 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:27.320 when I read the verse. 0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:29.960 But you're gonna shout anyway because you're too good. 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:35.800 Then the Lord said to Moses, I will rain down 0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:37.480 bread from. 0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:41.919 Heaven for you. See impossible. 0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:47.200 Try not to shout challenge, I mean, the Lord said, 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:49.840 Did you hear what he said, Jethroe, He said, he 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:54.560 gonna rain down bread from heaven your kingdom. 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:54.719 Come. 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:56.920 Your will be done on earth as it is. He's 0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:02.360 gonna rain down bread from heaven real quick. 0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:02.640 Gt. 0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:06.399 They would have known this story when he was teaching 0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:10.440 it to the disciples when he said, give us this 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:14.199 day our daily bread. That triggered a memory for them, 0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:15.880 not one that they lived through when they heard about 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:20.000 because they heard about how the Israelites went through the 0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.720 Red Sea from Egypt to Canaan. Through the Red Sea, 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:26.240 the Egyptians drowned. They didn't got in the desert, wanted 0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:30.320 to die. And God said, I will rain down bread 0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:34.240 from heaven for you. 0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:41.320 For you, the Lord is your provider. The Lord is 0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:47.080 your sustainer. The Lord is your satisfire. The Lord is 0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:53.879 your fulfillment. The Lord is your deliver God delivers on 0:26:54.000 --> 0:27:00.240 his promise, and I am happy for these people here. 0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:01.560 What He's gonna rain it down? 0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:05.200 Now? The last time they saw something raining down out 0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:11.720 of the sky was in Egypt when God started dropping frogs. 0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:16.119 You remember this to get Pharaoh to let his people go. 0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:19.960 But now God said, when you look up, you're not 0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:23.920 gonna see frogs, You're gonna see manna. You know what 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:24.720 mana means? 0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:26.119 What is it? 0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:29.280 Because you're not gonna know what it is, but it's 0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.720 from me. I don't know what it is, but it's 0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:35.600 from God. I don't know what to call it yet, 0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:37.680 but it's from God. I don't know how to label 0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:39.000 it yet, but I don't wanna label it because if 0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:40.320 I labeled it, imit it limited. 0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:41.159 I don't know what it is, but. 0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.040 I'm gonna give God time to show me what he's 0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:45.320 doing in my life. And he said, I will rain 0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.600 down bread from heaven for you. And don't you know 0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:51.080 they wrote a song about that, Bread from Heaven, Rain 0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:55.680 on us, Bread from Heaven, Rain on us, Rain on 0:27:55.920 --> 0:28:00.440 us on bread of Heaven on a ring. You know, 0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:02.879 different denominations had different versions of it, but they're all 0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:04.880 saying about the bread and the rain and the food. 0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:08.200 And all right, so stay woman, stay women, now say woman. 0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:08.320 Now. 0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.240 He said, I'm gonna make it rain. Oh, it's gonna 0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:14.639 be amazing. But there is a. 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:20.920 Condition on this provision. It's gonna rain down bread from 0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:22.880 heaven for you. He's gonna provide for you. I'm saying 0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:24.560 this to you now. I'm not talking to them. I'm 0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:25.040 talking to you. 0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:28.600 God is going to provide for you. But there's going 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.680 to be a condition on the provision. And here it is. 0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:39.480 The people are to go out each day and gather 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:44.200 enough for that day in this way, in what way? 0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:50.120 By gathering enough for this day, everybody say this day, 0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:54.800 God said, I Am going to make it rain so 0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:58.720 much bread from heaven for you that it's gonna feed millions. 0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.240 But the bread that comes down from heaven, that's the promise. 0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:06.480 The provision is. 0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.600 Going to be set with a certain condition that people 0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:15.280 are to go out each day and gather enough for that. 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:19.880 Day in this way. That's how God's going to do it. 0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:24.600 You are going to open up your tent tomorrow morning 0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:28.080 and there will be mana and it will be enough 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:32.720 for you and your family that day. It will be 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:38.320 enough for you that day. But if you expect there 0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:40.360 to be enough mana to fill your pantry. 0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:42.760 You're going to be disappointed. 0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:46.400 Because I Am going to provide for you in such 0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.560 a way that makes it impossible. 0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:51.920 For you to depend on the supply more than you 0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:56.880 depend on the source. So it's going to be enough 0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:03.480 for now. Say enough for now, and that's what God 0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:08.320 has given you. Enough for now. You're not supposed to 0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:14.080 do all of your breathing by nine am. Imagine if 0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:19.640 you try, what are you doing? Get my breath in? 0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.760 I gotta get my steps in, I gotta get my 0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:27.440 breast in. It doesn't work like that. You get one breath, 0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:32.840 then another breath. You get one breath, then another breath. 0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:35.360 And when you go through something so terrible you can't 0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:37.800 even talk about it, your job description gets really simple. 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:43.480 Next breath, next breath, next breath. I'm talking to somebody 0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.400 who it is so terrible what you're going through right now. 0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:49.160 You have no idea what to do. I came to 0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.719 give you clarity. Next breath. And if he fills your 0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:56.680 lungs with the next breath, then you say hallelujah. That's 0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.680 your response. And if he fills your lungs with the 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:03.800 next breath, then you move forward. That's your response. And 0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.960 if he gives you the next breath, why not give 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:09.840 him the best praise you can give him with the 0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:14.240 breath that he gave you. And if it works with 0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:19.520 the breath, watch this, it will work with the bread. 0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:25.360 Because Jesus said, pray like this. Give us this day 0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:33.080 our monthly stipend, Give us this day our ten year plan, 0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:38.440 give us this day our retirement age. 0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:43.880 Give us this day what we need from this day. 0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:46.760 And the only one who knows what I need for 0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:51.080 this day is the one who's already in tomorrow working 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:54.760 all things that would be like preaching together for the 0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:55.800 good of. 0:31:55.880 --> 0:32:01.360 Those that love him. Oh high five. 0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:06.000 Somebody say it's gonna happen today. It's gonna happen today. 0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:10.840 It's gonna happen today. Hey, this is one thing that 0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:13.800 God and Amazon have in common. 0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:19.680 This is one thing that Jesus and Jeff Bezos have 0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:25.560 in common. They both do saying day delivery. So I'm 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:26.720 saying God. 0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:33.640 So I'm saying we they may endure for the night, 0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:38.800 but say comes in. 0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:50.240 Morning. I'm not talking about toilet paper at your doorstep. 0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:53.640 I'm talking about truth in your heart. I'm talking about 0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:55.880 God to give you the word you need for this day. 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:59.680 You better read that thing today. By Monday morning, this 0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.440 man message you will be moldy. You can't eat a 0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:03.440 moldy message. 0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:07.440 You've got to open your phone tomorrow morning and say, this. 0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:18.120 Day, gossha, I'm gonna give you enough. I'm gonna give 0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:19.720 you enough for now. 0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:21.280 Now. 0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:24.800 If you insist on trying to deal with anything beyond 0:33:24.880 --> 0:33:27.680 the parameters of the promise of your strength for today, 0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:36.680 expect to feel stressed. And now you are stuck in 0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:42.000 something that one preacher called the loop. When it was 0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.280 meant to be a lie. 0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:47.160 Pray like this, he. 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:53.440 Said, give us this day. Man, I found out you 0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:57.800 can never give up on God. The Lord is like 0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:01.600 an MMA fighter. He will let it look like the 0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:05.120 devil is whinning all five rounds, and then he will 0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:09.000 find he will find the weirdest hole to put the 0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:13.960 devil in it. The Lord can work with anything too. 0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:16.520 You ever seen an MMA fight UFC fight and it 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.000 looks like they're about to lose, and all of a 0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:22.000 sudden they get an arm and they crank that armback, 0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:25.480 and all of a sudden, the entire five rounds that 0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:30.839 came before are irrelevant because of something that happened so quick. Yes, 0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:37.399 I'm telling you what I've seen God do in my life, 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.640 even my own son. Right now, he's starting to teach 0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:44.799 the Bible and share God's word with people, and I am. 0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:48.320 So proud of him. Living Room Charlotte. Make it a 0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:52.239 destination bucket list trip. Everybody check it out. 0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:55.800 But he's starting to understand now that he's teaching the 0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:56.560 Bible a little bit. 0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.719 Why dad was in a bad mood. Eighty five percent 0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:04.880 of it childhood. Oh I get it now, No wonder. 0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:08.399 My dad was so like zonked out on Saturday nights, 0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:11.440 just staring at the wall while we were all eating dinner. 0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:14.960 And I try to do a good job, but boy, 0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:16.520 he said something to bless me the other day. Can 0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:22.759 I share this with you? He said, I'm I'm coming 0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:25.879 up dry. I got nothing for this week. This man 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:32.600 don't talk to me, neither do I. How do I 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:33.160 get your own? 0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:33.399 Man? 0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:36.760 I'm coming over to my tent trying to take my manna. 0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:40.080 But the Lord dealt with me, and I said, all right, 0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:40.600 all right. 0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:43.279 He texted me next day he said, I am I 0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:45.920 don't know what to do, and I'm like, God, why 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:49.640 why can't I have somebody to like, phone a friend 0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:50.960 who wants to be a millionaire. 0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:55.279 But he said, I really don't know what to do. 0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:56.360 I really don't know what to do. 0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.680 And I said something to him on text. I said, 0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:04.560 I can get you there, call me right now. My 0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:08.319 phone never rang so quick now from one of my kids. 0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:11.120 It's normally like a two three business day turnaround with 0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:15.040 these kids. Oh, instant supply and demand. 0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:15.439 I guess. 0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:18.879 We start talking on the phone. And I was even 0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:21.279 in the middle of my workout. I don't even want 0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.000 to tell you how much weight I was close grip benching. 0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:27.000 It'll make you jealous. I'm in the middle of my workout, 0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:29.160 and I'm like, well, maybe you could share about boom 0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:32.160 boom boom. It was crazy because I start sharing him 0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:35.279 what I was going to share with you. But then 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:36.920 I had to have the faith God to give me 0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:37.479 something else. 0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:40.439 Yeah. 0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.279 And when I hung up the phone with him and 0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:49.320 he said, I'm ready now, a message came to me. 0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:50.200 In five minutes. 0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:59.879 God can download something. I'm on same day delivery. Same 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.279 day delivery didn't have it yesterday. And you know what 0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:05.960 Graham said. He said, I've never experienced anything like that. 0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:07.279 I said, what was it? He said. 0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:10.440 I went from regretting that I ever even started the 0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:13.960 Bible study to I wish I could preach it right 0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:15.520 now in one phone call. 0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:18.319 And I am telling you. 0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:24.279 That if you call God, I said, if you call God, 0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:29.960 if you call God, you can go from wishing I 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:33.960 never even did this, to thinking, God, what is it 0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:36.920 that you have next for me? And all it's going 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:40.160 to take is for you to come to him and say, 0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.080 I need it this day, my daily bread. 0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:44.239 I need this day. 0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:46.759 Oh, I understand it now. I've been wanting to go 0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:50.720 back to Egypt or I've been looking too far forward 0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:54.839 too and back and too, and God says, I want 0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:56.600 to do something in your life right now. 0:37:56.880 --> 0:38:09.960 But it's going to be delivered daily, daily, daily. 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:14.800 I don't know who this is for, but it's gonna 0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:19.200 get there when it's supposed to, and not a minute before, 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:25.600 because if God did it too quick, you would get 0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:30.200 through it, but he wouldn't get glory from it. So 0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:35.719 it's gonna get there. Watch this, y'all leaving, y'all about 0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:39.879 to miss a good close. It's gonna get there when 0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:43.200 it's meant to. And look at your neighbors say, not 0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:47.720 a minute before, not a minute before I'm gonna finish 0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.640 this sermon when it's supposed to be over, and not 0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:57.000 a minute before I'm gonna finish this sermon when I 0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.400 get through my scripture, and not a minute before. 0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:03.719 And sometimes God will let you. 0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:09.359 Sing praises with silas in prison all night, and all 0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:12.400 night you'll sing, and all night you'll praise, and the 0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:16.040 chains will stay all night. But the Bible says in Acts, 0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:21.080 chapter sixteen, verse twenty five, at midnight and not a 0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:21.840 minute before. 0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:24.879 It couldn't have happened in eleven fifty nine. 0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:29.560 It had to happen in the morning, because joy comes 0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:34.279 in the morning, and manna comes in the morning, and 0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:39.480 wisdom comes in the morning, and provision comes in the morning, 0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:44.640 and food comes in the morning, and forgiveness comes in 0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:48.680 the morning, and freedom comes in the morning. And I 0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.920 don't know how I read the Lord's Prayer so many times, 0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:55.240 and I never saw that all three have the same condition, 0:39:55.840 --> 0:40:00.239 the food and the forgiveness and the freedom. The food, food, 0:40:00.480 --> 0:40:03.400 and the forgiveness and the freedom. Y'all get ready to 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:06.320 help me shout, I'm so excited. I never saw it before. 0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:10.359 But the food and the forgiveness and the freedom all 0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:14.160 had the same condition attached to them. When Jesus said, 0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:18.000 you pray, you pray to God in heaven, and you 0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:19.560 say his name is holy. 0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:22.080 And you ask for his kingdom to come, and you 0:40:22.239 --> 0:40:29.040 ask him day bye day bye day by day. 0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:32.480 And I always heard that about the food, and I 0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:36.640 always heard that about the forgiveness. But I never understood 0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:39.760 that the same thing that is true about the food 0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:44.040 and the forgiveness is also true about the freedom. I 0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:55.600 need to be delivered daily, daily, And yes you were 0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:59.479 saved suddenly, but you still need to be delivered daily. 0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:04.480 And yes you are forgiven fully, but you still need 0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:09.560 to be delivered daily. And every time you are tempted 0:41:09.640 --> 0:41:12.319 to go back, go back. 0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:16.479 Say it again. 0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:24.520 When you are tempted to go back, go back, because 0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:27.320 this is going to be a daily delivery. 0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:31.280 There's going to be a daily delivery. 0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:38.720 I don't know about you, but when I say chains break, 0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:42.160 I'm not singing about what happened once. 0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:50.480 I need him to break one every day. How many 0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:53.719 need God to break a chain today? I ain't broke 0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:54.400 one yesterday. 0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:58.560 I need another one today because here's why, Because here's why, y'all, 0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:04.040 my chain start having baby chains. I get rid of one, 0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:08.160 here comes another one. I leave Egypt and here comes wilderness. 0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:14.000 This day my daily bread, and I believe that the 0:42:14.239 --> 0:42:19.600 daily deliverance of God is available to every Christian in 0:42:19.719 --> 0:42:24.520 this room. I know. 0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:27.960 That God brought them out of Egypt. 0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:32.200 But what's wild about it is it only took God 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:34.520 ten plagues to get his people out of Egypt. 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:38.320 It took forty years to get Egypt out of his people. 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:47.759 So the question really isn't can God get you out 0:42:47.800 --> 0:42:47.960 of this? 0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:50.719 Is? 0:42:50.920 --> 0:43:00.560 Can God get this out of you? I believe he can. 0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:05.640 You don't have to live with that shame. God can 0:43:05.719 --> 0:43:08.320 get it out of you. But it's daily coming to 0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:12.480 the Cross of Christ. Take communion in your house if 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:15.600 you have to, don't wait for quarterly communion in church. 0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:19.239 Get some welches, get a high sea. I don't drink 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:22.319 a diet coke. God will bless it. You think it's 0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:24.360 something holy about the juice we have in here. We 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:26.680 get it from the same publics you get it from. 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.440 Drink it in private, and let God cleanse you of 0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:35.680 your sin. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus daily read. I never saw 0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.120 it I saw daily read. I thought that was what 0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:40.200 I needed every day, always gonna provide, He's gonna get 0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:42.640 me Strengthen today is you know, God's, and tomorrow is 0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:44.600 the Lord's and all this. And I saw that, But 0:43:44.760 --> 0:43:46.840 I didn't see that the same condition that is on 0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:52.360 the food daily is on the deliverance. So I was 0:43:53.800 --> 0:43:58.040 I was shocked by my shackles because I thought they 0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:03.040 were gone m hm, until I found out there. Just 0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:07.080 like I can go back to him for provision, just 0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:10.080 like I can go back to him for forgiveness, I 0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:12.840 can go back to him and back to him and 0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:13.400 back to him. 0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:16.879 I don't have to go back to Egypt. I don't 0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.759 have to go back to Pharaoh. I can go back 0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:30.680 to my father. And when you pray, they like this 0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:44.879 our father, which ard In had hello, it be thy name, 0:44:47.960 --> 0:45:03.160 stand up, thy king, thy will bede as it is. 0:45:04.880 --> 0:45:04.920 In. 0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:11.920 George Altman used to sing this in the Methodist church 0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:16.239 where I grew up. You say, give us this day 0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:21.880 our dayly bread. Do you see what it is? It's 0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:28.959 daily bread? And forgive us our debts? What's that called? 0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:35.880 As we forgive our dead? Ers write something like that. 0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:41.320 But I never saw that the same daily bread. 0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:46.120 The same hand that gives me daily bread is for 0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:50.640 the daily battle, and lead. 0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:57.080 Us not into temptation, but deliver us and deliver us, 0:45:57.640 --> 0:46:01.840 and deliver us, and deliver us, and deliver us, and 0:46:02.000 --> 0:46:04.759 deliver us and deliver us from me. 0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:50.319 Oh, it is so its own.
