I want to teach you today 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:07.200 how to tune your heart to truth, How to tune 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.200 your heart to truth, so you can get some peace, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.120 so you can get some joy, so you can get 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.640 some energy, so you can. 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.720 Get some direction. Father. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.800 Now I stand ready to be used by you. Blow 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.960 through me like I'm a trumpet, and use me how 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:27.520 you want to. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.680 In Jesus name, Amen, you may be seated. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.720 The fun thing about marriage, well, there's a lot of 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:49.200 fun things about marriage. One fun thing is putting little 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:55.560 nicknames in your phone for your spouse's contact And how 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.360 many of you have a name for your spouse significant 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.720 other in your phone. That is not their legal name. 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.880 It's not their social Security number. I've changed the name 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.920 I have for Holly about once every year. The one 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.080 I have now is just two emojis. I've got the 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.320 heart emoji and the queen emoji because she's the queen 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.880 of my heart. And of course it's an orange heart 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.240 for Daba and for Clemson. 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.960 And it's funny. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.280 One day I had it hooked up to the car 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.280 where it reads the text to you when they come through, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.800 and it was reading it out loud and it said 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.720 text from Orange Heart Light Skin Princess. 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.560 So that's what I call her around the house when we're. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.520 Not here on Sunday, come over here, orange Heart Light 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:46.760 Skin Princess. Well, she put the name in her phone 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.480 for me, and again we'll change them. We'll get a 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.679 little new inside joke and we'll change it from time 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.680 to time. If you don't have a different name for 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.360 your spouse in your phone than their name, you need 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.520 to be more intimate. Yet it's a predictor of how 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.160 long the marry just gonna last if you have a 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.160 playful name in your phone. I'm sure a study says 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.600 that somewhere eighty seven percent of studies are made up 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:07.319 on the spot. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:09.840 All right. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.280 So she put a name in her phone for me, 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.080 and I just thought about this this morning when I 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.199 was thinking how I want to introduce this topic to you. 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.160 And we got it from a John Mayer song and 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.720 it said a good man with a good heart. There's 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.240 song that we really liked that John Mayer saying he said, I'm. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.560 A good man with a good heart. I'm not going 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:28.280 to sing anymore. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.760 So I don't get you tube copyright straight on that 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.800 from John Maher, But that would say that in her 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.520 phone when I would call a good man with a 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:35.960 good heart. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:43.880 So of course it makes you wonder, am I am? I? 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:44.319 Are you. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:50.319 A good man with a good heart. We're going to 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:51.439 talk about that for a moment. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:56.000 We're going to talk about a good heart, because honestly, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:02.080 I am surprised how quickly my heart can switch from 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.679 the best intention to the worst decision. Y'all aren't going 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.319 to help me preach a bit today. I had to 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.280 take discermon to Boston in a couple of weeks. This 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.520 is so difficult in the South to preach anyway, isn't it? 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:16.640 Like? 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.360 Because we say bless your heart what we mean is 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.959 you are an idiot. Oh bless your heart so that 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.760 even that it's difficult, Do I have a good heart? Well, 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.920 my heart this week wanted so many different things. There 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.080 were times this week, well my heart wanted to stay 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.679 in bed, pull up the covers, and pretend like y'all 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.600 weren't coming to hear a word from God this week 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.040 because I didn't know how. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.680 To say it. That happens every week. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.280 Another part of my heart wanted to get in here 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.480 and find whatever chain you've been bound by and take 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.080 the hammer of the word of God and see if 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.320 the Lord might break you loose for his glory so 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.679 you can get on with doing what you're supposed to 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:11.600 do this year, same heart. One part of my heart 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.400 this week wanted to be a tentist, a good listener. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.360 One part of my heart want to be like, would 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.040 you shut up. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.480 And let me talk because you don't know what you're 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:21.120 talking about? 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.959 And it was in the same conversation, and it wasn't 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.199 with anybody in this room. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:30.160 From the same heart, from the same heart. 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.680 We are thankful in these moments for biblical examples like David, 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:41.520 aren't we who from the same heart said Bless the Lord, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.880 oh my soul, and all that is within me. 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:46.600 Bless this holy name. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.840 And from the same heart said, go get that woman, Bathsheba, 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.320 who is not my wife. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:56.760 Bring her to me. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.920 I want to be intimate with her more than I 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:05.120 want to be obedient to God. From the same heart 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:13.240 that devised such beautiful language and poetry came so many problems. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:19.240 David had great praise in his heart. David had great 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:24.320 problems in his life. One scripture writer said he had 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.240 ninety nine problems, and Bathsheba was one. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:29.480 Now, before we. 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:35.480 Move deeper in this textual conversation about your heart, I 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.880 know it switches sometimes where you feel really grateful and 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.280 then you get really petty. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.520 Wrong side of the room, fake side, real. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:50.560 Side, pettiness and praise same heart. Always point this out 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.439 when I preach about David, lest we forget that we 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.160 are learning from someone in the scripture whose life was 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.319 not always perfect. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.400 Now, in our culture, we. 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.640 Will see a very different definition and relationship to what's 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.320 called the heart. And I'm going to define it in 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.480 just a moment, but I'm not talking about the organ. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.360 We see a very different definition than we see scriptually 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:21.559 in our culture today. In our culture today, the heart. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.360 Is a master to be obeyed. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:30.720 Therefore we give advice like, okay, follow your heart. 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:32.920 In the scripture, it's a little different. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.400 In the scripture, the heart does not seem to be 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:43.319 a master to be obeyed. Heart representing the center of 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.400 your internal life. You're like, what are you talking about 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:46.559 my heart? I mean that can mean a lot of 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.480 different things. You're talking about my ability to love. You're 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.319 talking about my excitement, or you talking about my passion, 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.480 or you talk about my conscience. Yes, all of those 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.199 things are embodied in the Hebrew idea of the heart. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:02.160 It is the center of your internal world, and in 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:08.920 the Scripture, the heart is capable of incredible generosity. One 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.480 man said to his fellow comrade, do all that is 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.320 in your mind. I am with you. Heart and soul. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.040 From the heart flow the issues of life. So one 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:26.320 scripture writer said, guard your heart. That's really different, isn't it? 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:34.800 Then? Follow your heart. Follow your heart means my heart 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:35.920 is leading me. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.080 And the only problem that I have with my heart 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.120 leading me is that is a limited resource. Because sometimes 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:49.200 I feel like following Jesus, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.960 feel like forgiving, sometimes I don't sometimes I feel like 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.040 turning the other cheek, and sometimes I feel like kicking. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.720 My heart needs to be guarded. 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.280 So let's go back to Colossians three for a moment, 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:05.760 and then I'll bring you to David, and then I 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:06.720 want to show you this in. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:07.960 A visual form. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.320 In Colossians, the apostle Paul says, since then you have 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:18.000 been raised with Christ. Question class past tense or present tense. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.800 You have been raised with Christ past tense or presentents. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.040 Since that happened, raised with Christ. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:35.480 Set your hearts on things above past tense or present tense. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.000 Okay, I'm pointing this. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.520 Out to you not because I think you need a 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.480 grammar lesson, but because I want you to understand your 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:48.200 soul can be saved and your heart still has to 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.200 be set. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.360 The language here is active, not passive. 0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:01.040 Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, fall your heart. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.840 The heart wants what it wants, give it what it wants. 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.320 You don't do that with a two year old. The 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.000 two year old would have their tongue in a light sucket, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.560 and you watch the two year old because you love 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.800 the two year old. The two year old is not 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.360 your enemy. Neither is your heart your emotions are not 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.080 your enemy. 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.400 Neither is your two year old. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.440 But the point that I'm trying to make here is 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.360 that your heart while not an enemy to be defeated, 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.120 because God gave you that heart, and He will speak 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.280 to you through that heart, and he will move in 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.120 your heart. And sometimes people will say, well, Fredick's just 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.680 an emotionalist. He's just an emotional preacher. What do you 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:46.840 want me to be? Do you want me to be 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.280 an ambient preacher and put you to sleep and stand 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:50.800 up here. 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.280 And drone on and on and not move you God? 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.360 When God found David, he said, I found a man 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.880 after my own heart. God is after your heart. God 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.919 wants you to feel for him. God wants you to 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.480 praise him with enthusiasm for your future. 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.800 And with an excitement about who he is. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:19.080 Quiet Christians, take note, You've got something to shout about 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:29.440 if you want to. And yet the word set drew 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:34.040 my attention because the idea that I have been raised 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:35.720 with Christ, Jesus did that for me. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.760 Come on, Jesus did that for you. He died for you. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.119 Jesus gave you a new heart. 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.960 The scripture speaks about a stony heart and a heart 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.960 of flesh. One is the old covenant keeping the commandments, 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.080 and one is the new covenant, established and ratified by 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.879 the blood of our very own Savior, whereby He makes 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.200 you new on the inside. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:03.680 And yet this new heart that I have still has 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:04.679 to be set. 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.119 Because it is not like the infomercial used to say, 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.760 set it and forget it. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.600 I promise you if you take that. 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:21.199 Approach to your own spiritual life and your attitude and 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.880 your mindset, I don't care how much blood of Jesus 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:31.240 covers you. If you don't take responsibility for setting your heart. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:37.560 That is a decision, not a default. And if you 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:43.359 don't do it, the devil will if you don't do it, 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:51.479 Disappointment will if you don't do it, stress will. The 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.680 heart is not an enemy to be hated. You can 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.679 enjoy the emotions God gave you, and that's wonderful. The 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:04.600 heart is not either a leader to be followed. I'll 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.800 tell you why. The heart is not a leader to 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.119 be followed because and I want you to say this 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:11.879 to your neighbor because it's gonna sound mean, and I 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.959 want you to be in on it with me, so 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.840 we all get in trouble together. Look at your neighbor 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.960 and say your heart is a liar. 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.040 It's not a whole conversation. That's all you're supposed to say. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.960 You don't need any time for any response. All right, 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:34.760 no rebuttal. 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:39.879 We would take our questions at the end of the class. Okay, 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.320 look at your other neighbors so they don't think you're 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:41.840 picking on them. 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:43.960 Say your heart is a liar. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:53.200 I don't appreciate this. I came to be uplifted and 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.960 I'm encouraged by the word of God. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.720 All right, since you want to talk about the word 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:03.080 of God. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:09.920 Jeremiah seventeen nine, The heart is. 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:12.960 Deceitful. 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:20.800 Now you understand why I can't let my heart be 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:27.240 my leader because I found out my heart is a liar, 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:36.880 and I think we got enough liars for leaders without 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.879 electing our own point of view, to call the shots, 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.320 without electing how I feel at three pm, to call. 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.360 The shots without. 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.119 Waiting to see if I'm in the mood that I 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:50.679 need to be in to do the thing that I 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:56.159 said I would do last week. My heart can't be 0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:02.960 my leader because my heart is a liar. Don't get 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:07.840 me wrong, my heart is also an incredible asset to 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:08.960 show me in moments. 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.280 This is what God cares about. 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.040 You know. We say my heart goes out to you. 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.199 It means this is one of the ways that I 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.919 feel guided to help people. And so that's how I 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.520 know to give that waitress a fifty dollars tip because. 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:24.640 Something in my heart. 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.680 That's how I know to, you know, overlook the offense 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.480 and just see what's going on beneath because my heart 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:31.359 and I'm thankful for it. 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:35.680 It's not my enemy, but it's not my instructor either. 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.280 Instead, I think we need to look at our heart 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:46.760 as an instrument, an instrument. And now I want to 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.320 move into my picture from David's life in from my life. 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.960 Just go ahead and bring out the guitar. I'm gonna 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.119 play it. You're gonna be nice to me when I do. 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:04.080 I'm not profefs, but I get by, all right. And 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.359 I sided to this illustration myself. I'm gonna do my 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:11.200 own stunts today, all right, because when I thought about it, 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.160 David is praising God, right And the first thing he said, 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:19.199 back to Psalone forty four, he said, God trains my 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:24.919 hands and my fingers for battle. So I'm imagining David 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.840 writing this probably later you know, he's talking about subduing people. 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.919 So he's currently a king, but he's remembering that he 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.479 wasn't always a king. And he's remembering that there was 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:39.560 this champion, philistine warrior who dared to defy the armies 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.080 of the living God. And he was bigger than David, 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.760 and greater than David, and more skilled in season than David, 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.160 and had greater weaponry and artillery than David. But when 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:54.680 God trains your fingers, even a slingshot with a smooth 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:56.440 stone will bring. 0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:01.359 Down the biggest giant had at heart. 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.159 He wraps his fingers around that sling. I mean I 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.440 tried to take tennis lessons and it took him three 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:11.520 weeks just to get my gripped semi correct my grip 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.399 for a tennis racket. Imagine what it takes to be 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:20.120 a skilled slinger. David said, I trained to kill lions 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.720 and bears. I trained God showed me how to grip 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.720 it so that when I got in a fight, he 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.680 gave me the victory. But then the language changes. The 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:38.320 language changes from fighting to flowing. The language changes in 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.760 verse nine and David, after talking about how God is 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:43.720 fighting for you and I want you to remember this week, 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:45.600 God is fighting for you. Tell your neighbor, God is 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.639 fighting for you. 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:48.119 Tell him. 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:51.439 God is bigger than it. Tell him again. God is 0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:55.240 bigger than it. God is bigger than that report. God 0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:57.440 is bigger than that of session. God is bigger than 0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.760 that thing. God is bigger than that night terror. And 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:05.240 he gives a strategy in verse nine that is connected. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.800 But you just have to have ears to hear and 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:12.399 a heart to receive. He says, I will sing a 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:18.520 new song to you, my God. I will sing from 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:23.000 my heart. David was a praiser. Yes, he was a fighter, 0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:28.119 but he was also a lover. He had heart. He 0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:32.560 could take down an enemy, but he also understood intimacy. 0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:36.160 That's why he said, I have trained fingers for war, 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:41.320 but the Lord is the love and the refuge of 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:45.040 my life. Because he had trained fingers that knew how 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.719 to grip a sling when he needed to fight a giant. 0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:50.640 But watch this, he said, I will sing praise verse 0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:52.600 nine to you God on the. 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:56.080 Ten stringed liar. 0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:03.080 Earlier, when I said your heart is a liar, I 0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:07.520 was setting you up for a double entendre. 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:10.320 To show you that. 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:14.280 David, here in the midst of a battle, You say, 0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:15.480 how do you know he's in a battle? 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:16.280 Go to verse eleven. 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:20.840 He says, verse eleven, deliver me, rescue me from the 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:22.800 hands of foreigners whose mouths are. 0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:31.359 Full of lies. Lies. He's fighting lies. Are you fighting lies? 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:36.879 The lies they told about you, the lies you told 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:41.440 about you, the lies they spoke over you that hath 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:46.000 grown into insecurities that followed you into your adult life. 0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:50.440 Everybody under the sound of my voice is fighting a 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:54.480 lie that you're not enough, That God is but you're not. 0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:58.040 But guess who made you. If he made your mouth, 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:00.880 he'll fill it. If he put you there, he'll brow 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:07.280 you there. Hallelujah. And I'm fighting these lots. So I 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:13.880 was surprised that David fought lies with the liar. Now 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:18.040 I've got two liars in the passage. One is an instrument. 0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.119 A liar is just a harp. They were slightly different, 0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:22.280 but they're used interchangeably. 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:25.040 The Hebrewscriptures gives three different types of instruments they would 0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.800 go and worship within the temple. The percussion instruments like 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:31.880 the symbols and the. 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.320 Timbrels and the tambourines. The wind instruments the rams horn, 0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.160 the trumpet, the flute. They used the flute more in Egypt. 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.320 That wouldn't really like the Israelites jam, but but they 0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:42.399 put it. They put the flute in there sometimes just 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:43.719 every once in a while, over at eight oh eight, 0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:48.280 when they were really wanting to party. And then the 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:49.800 watch us. This is what I want to talk about. 0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.720 The stringed instrument. Did you see verse nine? He said, 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:56.399 I will praise you on the liar from my heart. 0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:03.800 The ten stringed instrument, the ten string instrument, ten strings, 0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:09.320 ten strings. I didn't want to bring a liar to church. 0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.680 Felt inefficient to roll a harp out here, seeing us 0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:16.880 I've never played one. Well, we got so many guitars 0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:21.480 around this chearch that I thought we could use it 0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:27.520 for an illustration. First of all, a few words about 0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:32.000 this guitar. This is a Martin guitar, and that is 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.880 a good company to make guitars. 0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:37.760 No, I'm saying, it's a nice guitar. 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:45.600 And one thing that all of these musicians who are 0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.680 on this stage would tell you is that, first of all, 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:59.000 the instrument can never exceed the quality of the musician 0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:04.639 who plays it. I could hand e a ten dollars guitar. 0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:06.399 This one's not ten dollars. I don't know how much 0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:08.640 it costs, but it's not ten dollars. The ten would 0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:10.639 sound better with him than this one with me. And 0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.640 I'm not being self deprecating. If he were preaching, I'm 0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.200 a better preacher than him. He's just a better guitar 0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:21.040 player than me. Okay, so whatever. But look, I'm gonna 0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:22.919 sing you a hymn where I got the title of 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.320 this message, tune my heart from. And this hymn was 0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.800 written in the seventeen hundreds. And if you know what 0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:30.359 you can sing it. The words are on the screen. 0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:36.000 Oh Lord, please don't let me forget the words come 0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:40.040 the found, every. 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:47.120 Bless tune my heart to sing thy, pray grace, streams 0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:49.120 of mercy. 0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:57.960 Never sees, see call for It, songs of about his praise, teach. 0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:01.640 Me song clias son. 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:07.040 Song by flameing tongues, up by. 0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:17.160 Praise, amount fix up on amount. 0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:17.680 Of fly. 0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:23.120 Gaming love. So I got my title from that first line. 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.080 Listen to again, Calm thou. 0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:34.360 Found of every bless tune my heart to sing thy. 0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:38.680 It's amazing when you're in tune with the grace of God. 0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:43.480 It's amazing when you're in tune with the voice of God. 0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:48.240 When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I don't have 0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:52.320 to fight so much when I'm in tune with you, Lord, 0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:56.800 I don't have to manipulate so much when I'm in 0:29:56.800 --> 0:30:00.560 tune with you, Lord, I don't have to defend myself. 0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:04.560 You fight my battles when I'm in tune with you, Lord, 0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.480 somebody say, Lord, I want to be. 0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:13.680 In tune with you. When I'm in tune. 0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:18.080 With you, Lord, my problems look small when I'm in 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:18.720 tune with you. 0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:19.160 Lord. 0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.479 It feels like all things are possible when I'm in 0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:24.120 tune with you. 0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:28.360 Lord. I can scale a wall when I'm in. 0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:32.240 Tune with you, Lord, the giant looks like an opportunity, 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:33.120 not a problem. 0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.720 When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to 0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:38.680 laugh at what used to make me cry. 0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:41.800 When I'm in tune with you, Lord, I'm able to 0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:45.040 cry and know that tears don't last always, but joy 0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:47.720 comes in the morning. When I'm in tune with you, Lord, 0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:56.360 it's a beautiful thing to be in tune. 0:30:58.040 --> 0:30:58.680 I think. 0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:05.520 I wouldn't have to use our sling as much if 0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:11.440 we used our strings a little more. If we would 0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:16.560 learn to worship God in quiet and in private. 0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.720 Some of the things that wear us out, he would 0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:26.080 work out. I'm not saying this magic. 0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:33.680 I'm just saying that you in tune with God is 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:38.320 a bad dude in a good way, a good man 0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:43.480 with a good heart. She says, I'm that, and sometimes 0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:47.120 I am. What happens to me from time to time. 0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:49.120 And it happened to David too, So I don't feel 0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:53.240 so bad. And it happens to you. Give me that camera, 0:31:53.720 --> 0:32:01.920 it happens to you. Is that through daily life we 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.480 get distracted? Chris, come, I think we should do this together. 0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:06.360 We talked about it and I told him I might 0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:09.960 call him. Is that you get distracted? 0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:10.240 Right? 0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:17.240 You don't decide to just start following your own whims 0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:22.000 and fall back into old temptations. At least most people don't. Instead, 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.680 it's more like a distraction. And we worked this out 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.680 ahead of time, and he's cool with it. He's going 0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:34.560 to be the devil. He sang like an angel, but 0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:40.560 he's a versatile worshiper just for illustration, just for illustration. 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:52.040 So I look away. I'm flowing, you know. Yeah, man, Damn, 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:56.360 I'm gonna start the business. I'm gonna reasee these kids 0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.800 to be. World changes right. 0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:13.200 Like that, And then your second look away because you 0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:28.160 thought you could set it, and and then you get 0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:32.960 a text message, and then you have to walk into 0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:36.720 a meeting and you go to say what you're supposed 0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:38.000 to say and be who you're supposed to be, and 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:39.480 show up like you're supposed to show up. 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:46.200 And it's calmed down. Well, that don't sound. 0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.480 Do a little more, Chris, because sometimes sometimes the devil 0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:52.080 just tweaks you. 0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:53.840 A little bit. But sometimes. 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:58.120 No, I know, I know, I know how it's really 0:33:58.160 --> 0:33:59.880 been in your house with your teenagers. 0:33:59.880 --> 0:34:03.040 All right, I'm about to prophesy. 0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:05.040 Because because you go to step up to it and 0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.960 it was good and it's now it's come down. Now, 0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.680 Wait a minute, God, did you leave me? 0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:20.080 Did you forsake me? I know what it is. 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:25.960 I need a new guitar, I need a new husband. 0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:45.680 Maybe you do, but before you trash it, tune in, 0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:52.560 tune in, tune in. 0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:59.359 It happens to all of us every day. 0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.879 If you think for one moment that you can get 0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:09.319 saved one time, and your heart is permanently set on. 0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:11.200 The affections for the things. 0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.359 That matter to the heart of God, and that now 0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:17.879 you will be selfless in every encounter and will always know. 0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:19.640 The way that He leaves you to go in. 0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:25.480 Watch these musicians the next time we worship. Because they 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:29.920 don't tune their guitars once a month. They don't tune 0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:33.800 their guitars once a week. They don't even just tune 0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:38.880 their guitars every Sunday before they play. They tune it 0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:46.320 between every song. It means that every day that I'm alive, 0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:50.480 and every breath that I breathe, and every transition that 0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:54.840 I go into, there is a possibility that my heart 0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:57.120 will go out of tune. 0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:02.919 I'm done with you them, They b c d get 0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:03.640 thee behind me. 0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:08.840 Give it up for Chris, everybody, the greatest worship leader in. 0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.520 The continental United States. 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:20.040 Of America, and the devil just for these five minutes, 0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:26.080 because look, from the same heart come your greatest fears. 0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:30.719 From the same heart comes your greatest faith. Which one 0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:38.720 you move into depends on what you're tuned to. Why 0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:42.960 this helped me so much was because I struggle with 0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:46.759 a lot of condemnation at how much I change from 0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.200 wanting to do God's will to not wanting to do 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:52.920 God's will. From feeling motivated to preach the message to 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:53.799 feeling like I just. 0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:56.200 Want somebody to preach to me, from feeling. 0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.840 Like I want to be more giving, to feeling like 0:36:58.880 --> 0:37:00.439 nobody's taking care of me and. 0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:02.920 Being very I can have very big pity parties. 0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:07.840 When I realized that my heart is a liar, that 0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:15.520 my heart is a harp, It's a stringed instrument. Then 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:25.080 I realize it has to be tuned to truth. Now, 0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:28.040 I told you. 0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:31.080 This illustration was going to help us, and that's really 0:37:31.120 --> 0:37:31.840 why I'm doing it. 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:34.480 I'm not trying to just put an entertainment value on 0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:36.920 the sermon. I don't care about that. There's way better, 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:39.560 more entertaining stuff you can watch. It's on your Hulu account. 0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:42.359 But you came here to get help for your heart, 0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:48.040 and I'm trying to show you that. It sounds like 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:53.120 that right now. But the guitar is good, the wood 0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:59.480 is good. You've just been tuned to some stuff that 0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:07.640 has been neath who you really are. How many are 0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:12.879 glad that Jesus Christ does tune ups? Is that why 0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:14.160 you came to church today? 0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:19.080 Is that why you logged on today? Somebody holler tuned 0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:19.440 me up? 0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:23.719 Lord, tune me up, Lord, tune my heart to sing 0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:24.480 by grades. 0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:29.760 There's two ways to tune this guitar. 0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:33.640 The guitar is in tune technically when the strings have 0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:37.400 the appropriate tension through these pegs. That Chris so rudely 0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:42.200 tuned down like the devil does with discouragement, disappointment, Bill's offenses, 0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:44.880 all of these things. I could spend a whole hour 0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:48.239 just going through all of the things that distract you 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:52.840 and detune you. If the enemy can detune your heart, 0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:56.719 he can defeat you in your life, and you'll be 0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:01.560 reaching for slings fighting when you need to be reaching 0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:03.840 for strings tuning. 0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:08.600 He trains my hands for war. 0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:13.480 But David said, I've learned to tune my heart to truth, 0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:21.480 not cultural truth. We have personalized the precepts, so we 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:26.279 say things like my truth, but I don't tune to 0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:32.280 my truth because my heart is a liar. I cannot 0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:35.279 just listen to my heart at all times. That would 0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:37.600 cause me to want to quit. That would cause me 0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:39.640 to want to give up. That would cause me to 0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.640 lash out, That would cause me to sink, That would 0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:44.920 cause me to go all the way down further into 0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:45.480 the spiral. 0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.400 That's fine to follow your heart, when your heart's going up. 0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.239 But there are times in your life where you need 0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:53.560 to be. 0:39:53.640 --> 0:39:57.080 Tuned, and I want you to make sure in those 0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:02.440 times that you are tuning to truth, not your subjective experience, 0:40:04.080 --> 0:40:06.279 not even what your parents taught you. 0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:08.000 If your parents taught it. 0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:11.440 And God taught against it, your parents were wrong, not God. 0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:18.680 What your parents taught you was tradition. What God wants 0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:23.480 to tune you to is truth. Tune me to truth, 0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.799 and that means God show me where I'm wrong and 0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:31.799 blaming them. That means God show me where I think 0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:33.520 I need to get more and I really need to 0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:37.320 give more because I want to be tuned to truth. 0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:40.960 Show me where I've been thinking I'm at a disadvantage 0:40:40.960 --> 0:40:45.359 when really my slingshot is a secret weapon. I've been 0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:48.640 saying I don't have the resources. But maybe God didn't 0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:52.120 give you the resources so that he could source this one, 0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:55.320 so he could get the glory for what he does 0:40:55.520 --> 0:41:02.040 that you could never do. I feel annoyed to annoying 0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:07.560 to tune my heart to truth. And there's a couple 0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.640 of ways to tune the instruments. Because a stringed instrument 0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:13.960 like you and me, we have heart strings, right A 0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:15.160 stringed instrument. 0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:16.320 Goes out of tune. 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:18.840 This guy came over to tune our piano and he 0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:22.520 charged like three hundred dollars, And then he was back 0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.440 a few months later and I was like, bro, do 0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:26.240 I get a discount? 0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:29.960 This is your second time trying this? He goes, no, Always, 0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:33.520 I have to do it every time the weather changes, when. 0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:41.319 The seasons change, the strings must be recalibrated. You're not 0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:45.400 a kid anymore. The season is changing. How many of 0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:47.520 you are going through a seasonal change in your life 0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:47.960 right now? 0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:50.600 Wave at me? How many of y'all feel like? 0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:54.239 In Charlotte we go through three seasonal changes every every day. 0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:55.040 Every week. 0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:58.120 I'm gonna have the piano tuner over at my house 0:41:58.160 --> 0:41:59.080 three times a day. 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.800 If we keep this way, other fluctuation up, good Lord, 0:42:03.880 --> 0:42:04.080 And it. 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:05.799 Can feel like that in your life because every time 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:11.719 the temperature changes, you've got to retune every time the 0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:16.400 seasons change, so that you need to be asking the question, God, 0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:18.640 who do you want me to be? 0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:22.879 Now? Who are you calling to me to be? Now? 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:25.400 What childish things do I need to put aside? My 0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:29.920 season is changing. Sometimes you are in a season of abundance, 0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:31.600 but you keep thinking like scarcity. 0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.239 You're out of tune. 0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:36.759 Sometimes you are in a season of focus, but you're 0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.319 thinking fore. Sometimes you're in a season of marriage, but 0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:44.240 you're scheduling your life like you're single. Your season has changed. 0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:49.920 You have to retune. And so when you need to retune, 0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:53.759 you can do a few things. One you can buy 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:54.520 one of these. 0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:55.320 This is a tuner. 0:42:56.680 --> 0:43:01.400 This one's about twenty dollars, and you can tune, and 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:02.040 you can do that. 0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:05.000 But I'm going to give you something from the Bible. Okay. 0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:08.080 I feel like Garth Brooks with this microphone and this 0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:09.279 acoustic guitar right now. 0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:10.960 This is so weird. 0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:13.680 I visualized it, but I told the Lord, I'll flow. 0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:14.239 With it however you want. 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:16.680 I never saw myself standing here holding the guitar in 0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:19.319 this moment behind the pulpit. This is very awkward, and 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:22.640 I love you. Okay, Okay, here it is give me 0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:25.279 Verse ten. I wanted to check the verse. David said, 0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:28.920 not only is it important what you tune, that you 0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:33.400 see yourself as a stringed instrument that has to be 0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:38.520 tuned regularly to the intervals of God's specific purpose and 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:39.800 designation of your life. 0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:42.239 Not only do I have to be tuned when I 0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:42.839 go into a. 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:46.120 New room, a new season, so that I don't carry 0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:51.160 yesterday's man of mentality into today's promised land situation. Not 0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:53.279 only do I need got to tune me when I 0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:55.920 go into something new, but watch this, he said, I 0:43:55.960 --> 0:44:01.400 will sing to the one everybody say to the one. 0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:07.200 I will sing to the one who gives victory to kings. Now, 0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:10.239 not only is David saying I will sing to the 0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:13.120 one like if I gave you a dollar, I gave 0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:16.640 a dollar to you, but he's saying I am going 0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:21.160 to sing in tune with the one. 0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:21.960 I'll show you. 0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:28.640 LJ is playing a digital instrument. His keyboard does not 0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:33.759 go out of tune. It can't. It's digital. It is 0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:38.240 set and it will stay set. His keyboard is tuned, 0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:40.640 and I know it's in tune right now. 0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:43.200 So the fact that I'm out of tune. 0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:48.279 On this stringed instrument the means that I need to 0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:54.840 turn around to someone who is always in tune. 0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:02.320 I might retire after this. Look. 0:45:03.320 --> 0:45:05.279 I've been thinking how to get this across to you. 0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:07.759 I've been thinking about it for months. Because you think 0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:11.360 you're trash. You are about to break your martin you're 0:45:11.400 --> 0:45:13.040 about to mess up your mind. 0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:17.279 You're about to walk away from your opportunity. It's not trashed, 0:45:18.440 --> 0:45:23.400 it's just not tuned. So if I turn. 0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:30.160 To the one who is in tune and I say, hey, LJ, 0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:36.000 give me an E and he plays an E and 0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:38.480 I play what's supposed to be an e on my 0:45:38.920 --> 0:45:45.120 liar and he's playing the truth and I'm playing the liar. 0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:49.759 And he says, E sounds like this, and I say, 0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:55.560 E sounds like And he's playing higher and I'm playing lower. 0:45:56.840 --> 0:46:01.200 He's right, I'm wrong. He's not coming down to me. 0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:08.319 I'm coming up to. 0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:15.600 Him because I'm turning to the one. You get it. 0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:22.479 You're not coming down to it. It's not coming down 0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:26.080 to you. God's not going to lower his standard. God's 0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.799 not going to decide you're just in bondage. And that's 0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:31.640 just the way you were born. If the sun will 0:46:31.719 --> 0:46:34.439 make you free, you will be free. 0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:34.960 Indeed. 0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:42.040 So if I'm down here and he's up there, I'm 0:46:42.080 --> 0:46:43.720 not staying down here. 0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:45.800 I'm coming up higher. 0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:55.000 Who fine? Five three people say, get up here, Get 0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:57.959 up here where the glory is, Get up here where 0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:01.239 the praise is, Get up here where the blessing is 0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:04.799 get up here where the abundance is, Get up here 0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:09.000 where the wisdom is first of all peaceable and then pure. 0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:12.040 It comes from God and it can't. 0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:17.560 Run out not to lose my voice. 0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:25.680 Whose voice are you tuning too? And I decided that 0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:28.400 even if everybody else does it, I'm not tuning to 0:47:28.480 --> 0:47:30.520 everybody else in this season of my life. 0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:35.719 I'm not I'm not stupid. 0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:39.560 Is still stupid even if you call it true. So 0:47:39.600 --> 0:47:42.160 if the Lord shows me the way I'm acting as stupid, 0:47:42.400 --> 0:47:47.120 I'm not stooping, just stupid and calling it truth. 0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:51.359 I'm tuning up. I'm tuning up, you feel me. 0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.280 That's why I gotta get my Bible out in the morning, 0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:58.880 because I gotta tune out, because I woke up feeling defeated, 0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:00.960 but my Bible said I'm more than a conqueror. 0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:02.440 I gotta tune up. 0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:05.520 Yeah, because I could come down to the level of 0:48:05.560 --> 0:48:07.800 what I feel, or I could come up to the 0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:11.120 level of what God says. And I hear two voices 0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:14.040 speaking today, and one is trying to make me a 0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:16.960 victim and one is trying to make me a victor. 0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:20.680 And I want to know whose report do you believe, 0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:28.399 we shall believe. His report says, I am heal. 0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:32.879 His report says I am free. 0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:39.400 His report says, victory, give me a BLJ. Yeah, I'm 0:48:39.400 --> 0:48:42.040 gonna get this thing back in tune. 0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:45.640 I'm gonna get my life back in tune. You hear me. 0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:48.880 I'm gonna get my heart ungunked and unjunked and unloaded 0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:51.760 and unblocked and unstopped because. 0:48:51.560 --> 0:48:53.080 I believe God wants to use me. 0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:56.520 I believe God wants to do more through me, and 0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:58.759 I can't do it out of tune. The fount of 0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:02.360 every blessing can't flow through me if I'm fixated on 0:49:02.400 --> 0:49:06.760 what I think is true. Let God be true Romans 0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:10.520 three four and every man a liar man. 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:11.879 One time, give me a g LJ. 0:49:13.920 --> 0:49:16.840 One time I went on the comments you want to 0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:20.920 get out of tune, go on a YouTube. 0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:30.680 Comment my God about right there. It's ten years ago. 0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:32.040 I was to remember this, how much someone can give 0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:34.400 in your heart something not only a lie, like somebody 0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:36.879 telling you that sexual immorality is no big deal. 0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:39.040 Well that's a lie, but. 0:49:39.480 --> 0:49:43.080 That's what my heart is leading me. 0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:50.799 Your heart is liar. God's not bringing his standard down 0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:57.600 to fit your situation. He called you up. 0:49:58.120 --> 0:50:01.960 Now he doesn't hate you, he doesn't, but he's not 0:50:02.000 --> 0:50:04.120 going to leave you in a dissonant state so you 0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:05.080 miss your destiny. 0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:08.080 He's going to bring you in tune. 0:50:08.880 --> 0:50:10.560 The Lord loves you too much to let you spend 0:50:10.600 --> 0:50:12.279 the rest of your life in harmony with Hell. 0:50:20.680 --> 0:50:22.720 Speaking of Hell, the YouTube comments. 0:50:26.400 --> 0:50:28.360 It was during the time in the church where I 0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:30.160 used to sing more when we would finish the worship, 0:50:30.200 --> 0:50:31.640 and I would come out and sing at him all 0:50:31.640 --> 0:50:36.360 the time, all right, And the YouTube comment on the 0:50:36.400 --> 0:50:39.160 sermons said, I remember it almost word for word, and 0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:41.080 God forgive me for giving this person my attention like 0:50:41.160 --> 0:50:41.319 I did. 0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:42.359 But they said that. 0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:47.440 Awkward moment when Stephen Ferdick starts singing the song and 0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:49.520 everybody secretly, which is just shut up and let the 0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:55.880 real singer sing.
