Dan Mohler @ LCU - 3 - Pursue to know HIM

B you are worthy of it all I yield to you and you're just in this place where you're just pouring out your heart and it's so real coming out of your heart and he's meeting you there without those moments you'll just have a ton of knowledge about God just telling you without those moments you'll just know so much about God it'll turn on you in time without the revelation and relationship because in time all your knowledge will challenge where your life really is and you'll get judged and condemned in your heart I've seen it happen so many times to people that don't pursue knowing him in their personal life please make that your number one and privilege is to know him like I can hardly ever say this without crying I always I always hold back the tears I don't want to play the emotional card but man I could cry right now like nothing compares nothing compares to our god-given ability to be with him nothing nothing even comes close to god-given ability to be with him that he would see us for what he created us to be pay a price to open the doorway to his presence that we could come boldly in through Jesus Christ and be his children that is far from a positional stand that is an intimate place that is a place where I'm with him amen so nothing compares with your ability so everything I've been preaching even yesterday I mean I got on the whole sexual thing and I don't even know what happened yesterday now I traveled for about an hour afterwards I'll start do it yeah even that you know you you just all these messages you just open your heart you just want to make sure you're a yes before him you might not totally understand you might not totally be walking out the full expression but you're in the right direction and you understand there's things possible called chain you want to be more like him and it's a yes so when you commune with him I'm just wide open for you I thank you that your wisdom is in me your ways are in me Lord keep making them more revealed more expressed more obvious God thank you watch thank you for what you're doing in my life that sure beats God you need to do something with my life don't ever come to him problems shooting troubleshooting nitpicking with yourself some of the Pure's people I've met in my life have secret condemnation because in their heart they don't believe they're living up to their pure desire toward God and they're their own worst critic and they're judging themselves and God's busy loving them and the people around them honor their heart and see their purity and they live condemned yeah please don't do that to yourself hee-hee you got to rejoice in where you're growing you got to rejoice that you're a different person than you were four months ago you got a you got to rejoice when you even even if you find yourself slipping into a wrong attitude and you catch it man you ought to rejoice that you're catching it and that you were so justified three months ago you never caught it because you were so justified and they were so and they deserved it or they were so wrong and and all of a sudden that whole thing shifted and now you're holding your own a cart accountable instead of justifying being less than him and all of a sudden you realize oh my goodness I am growing it's not while I was missing it oh my goodness I'm catching this thing I'm moving for this is not why I see God yay and all of a sudden you're excited in the midst you know people say well yeah but when you slip and fall well when you slip and fall why don't you run to him why don't why why do we run from him and hide and put on fig leaves we already found that's not where God wants you he took the leaves off he he clothed them himself that's your righteousness so you don't run from God ever you run right to and you say yeah but I was so ashamed no that's Adam that's not covenant no you want to rejoice the truths working in your heart that you see thing for what they are and you run straight to him and let him hold you in that place of Prayer and you say father I thank you you're growing me oh my goodness this thing is dying in my life it is being removed this is so not who you are in me it is so not the desire of my heart and all of a sudden freedom's come into your life and after your pray and in communion all the sudden you're closer to God when you when you enter into this place then than you were before you started slipping into the faith see when you have a God whose love never fails it doesn't empower you to stay the same it's an invite to be absolutely wrecked and transformed in a beautiful powerful way so you run to him and and you receive from him his love his mercy and His grace he I remember one time in my life i i i i did something i said something to a guy and and we were talking and i didn't realize that i let what he said bother me like i couldn't believe he said it and it was a good pretty good while ago and and i got him a car and i started to drive and i was responded to him and stuff and who knows you can still say the right thing but you can be saying it from the wrong place but he didn't know it he didn't perceive it god is such a father guys but I'm always asking him to father me thank you for fathering me I say stuff like this Holy Spirit I still love you in my life I have more of a confidence in your ability to keep me the need to miss it so I'm just gonna keep running and if I get anywhere off track you will keep me aligned because you love me and you love others so that's pretty freeing so never on eggshells I always have a liberty in him you see what I'm saying but I got in my car and he said the Lord said boy you left that bother you you didn't talk from a good place and you were offended and I was like oh when the Lord says that you're not like oh Lord I wasn't offended though when he says that you're like yeah yeah wha and I just was like man things snuck up on me isn't that crazy so Holy Spirit inspired me I'm in the car and I'm like father I just thank you watch what I reaffirmed I just thank you to know nobody owes me anything I just removed the expectations on people that that set them up to fail in my eyes God you don't live that way or I failed you a hundred times over you have looked at me for Destiny's purpose value potential and you have done nothing but love me and God I thank you that that's the way that I view every individual and I just thank you God for loving me and empowering me and fathering me through this little motive and just purifying and cleansing my heart and then so I wasn't like oh man I sinned hello I wasn't like Todd man can you just pray with me dude I just messed up no I got a father I'm right now I'm like Oh Lord yeah thank you ah I'm just dealing with his working this out some fruit but the yes in my heart rises up above the thing that I did so that the yes in my heart begins to bring action to my life where all of a sudden this thing that I did is no more and watch I didn't bite my lip to try to stop judging or being offended or I didn't how do you try to not be offended if you're trying to not be offended you're offended it just fascinates me people say well I'm trying to forgive no that's called unforgiveness and somehow we take this long road where we think we have to go through the unforgiveness feel it live it experience it and then apply scripture to it till the feeling of unforgiveness somehow goes away what about not even having a grid for unforgiveness what about being alone with God and saying thank you your heart is my heart nobody owes me a thing make that real to me God I'm living through this gauntlet of up and down and auto not okay and doing better brother man I just don't want to be moved Jesus I don't see you moved you asked me to follow you oh my goodness what an invite if you said follow me it must be possible through the person of Holy Spirit red mold me and shape me in your love and make me look like you that's prayer yeah so you don't want to do when I got home I called the person cuz that's true repentance that's really holding yourself in a good healthy place that's when you know you're serious when you call the person and say hey listen man when you said that and we were talking man I interpreted your heart a certain way and I it hit me I left that offend me and when I talked back to you I and it gave you an answer and he said no you gave me wisdom man that was an amazing answer in your response I took it to heart and I said well I appreciate that who knows God can still speak but he didn't want me to get familiar with living from that place where I was saying something from the wrong you can be right and be wrong and he didn't want me living that way He loves us he brought that out of me so I called this person I told him and then I said well actually and as I said I told him what the Lord he said man I'll just assure you I had no idea and when I hung up the phone it fascinated me the love of God how that mattered to him to expose that to me so I thought this purity thing man it's really what it is his purity like like he's addressing my inner motive that's why I talk about motives all the time when you hear me preach I just talk about the reason why in your perspective and where you're living from the why behind your life he's into that because that's the real you that's what decides how high you fly the why behind your life that's what decides the end result of a thing are you with me that's why he said the pure in heart shall see God dead awesome so maybe they're not so pure in heart can still talk about him see him let's do this I was sitting over then I said Lord really are we like am I supposed to really track through this and he said yep I want you to finishes I asked him I just asked him I was on my knees go to go to Ephesians would ever start now before chapter 4 I would have finished something up I really do I feel like I'm supposed to do this this scripture is in the Bible this stuff is in the Bible and it all has to do with your conduct and living so there has to be a way to read it and talk about it and teach it without getting caught up in works and legalism and we should just don't want to be some carefree you know just I'm not in against flagging doughnuts here what I'm not saying into some just flag waving and whatever brother right there is an accountability there is a responsibility superteen laws don't break any you break one you know no but but they're there things that we should all embrace that that are designed to shape character to leave right expression and impact people interpret they see things in your life listen when you're working on a job and you have exemplary integrity in the Lord because you're in fellowship with God your attitudes are clean and your motives are pure who knows people will still feel like they need to label that figure that out and define it who knows that people will get threatened by it and still say oh you're too goody-goody your old more holier than thou oh wow you don't you can't associate with us and it's nothing it has nothing to do with none of that that's just their flesh reaction you can't be moved by none of that you know living segregated you're right in the midst of them you're in the world you're just not of the world so it looks weird to people you're saved from a perverse generation that was living for their own thing and you've been a partaker second Peter one of His divine nature you've escaped the corruption that's in the world through self-centered seeking so you live different you just live different who knows that people will still take the initiative to have to comment on that and it might look negative don't let that bother you at all that's just an expression of where they're living where they're coming from sometimes they even find strength in numbers because you're the oddball says mental mock and scoff at the things they don't understand you can't let that change conduct character and consistency because this is what I've learned I promise you I've learned this in my life I've been on several secular jobs since I've been saved and man they're my funnest place that's I love this I love your hearts I love this hunger but you put me on a you put me on a 40-hour job where 90% of people around me don't know the Lord I love that because of the everyday consistency just watching their minds wig out just watching how you get to walk out Christ in every situation where it's not just walking in the says the Lord and now you got the all the people say no just them seeing your consistent solid set in stone life because you have relationship it's what's been missing in the body of Christ consistent expression of spirit filled living not spooky live in not just miracles and signs I'm talking about attitude I'm talking about integrity I'm talking about purity I'm talking about lives that are sanctified and set apart I'm telling you the world is more thirsty to view that than they even realize yeah I've had so much fun in my life I don't even share a lot of testimonies anymore because things on YouTube Todd's messed my whole life up yes because then everybody wants you to pray for them and once a word from you and said but I have fun in my life I just don't talk about the details too much I loved I stopped pastoring for a season I was pastoring for several years and I just struggling with ministry a little the idea of it I was I felt I was pastor I was board member I felt like church was a business on some ends some things just bothered me one that it was wrong it was just me trying to get a good view her struggling with ministry and I was I was struggling and I said Lord I'm just going back to work for a little I need to air out and get some wisdom I wouldn't really have fun just go and work a job I had friends say what are you doing going back to work dude you got it made you're doing full-time ministry for heaven's sakes you're getting paid for doing Jesus I can't tell you how many people said that to me I'm like I am NOT in this thing to get paid I am in this thing cuz I'm in this thing [Laughter] sorry if I look Frankie right now cuz I feel a little flaky I'm in this thing so so it was fun to go to that job I I left pastoring the board the pastors I said look I'm gonna give back my finances cut just cut off the finances I'll still function pastor Lee I don't want to leave you totally high and dry I'll still do the Sunday night thing you know overseeing and and some of the people as best I can within the work schedule but I just need some time they said are you okay I said I'm fine I just I just need just to break away a little and just yeah and some of it is just I I have fun in that setting I in my Christian position I was in everything was Christian the people back slid and said Amen brother it was just everything and I can deal with that because I give you know I does I'm a pastor right I'm not condemning nobody I'm not saying my heart's hurt by that what I'm saying is it was just everything was Christian when you go to work it's hardly anything's Christian and and there's no smoke screens and I mean you don't understand maybe in leadership like manifestations who knows they're real who knows God will touch people in whack people and mess people up but who knows that they become a thing in the church all the sudden manifestations are acted out some people are manifesting to fit in some of them are go to school like this and they feel like they got a follow to reveal spirituality so when you're in leadership you have all those paradoxes in front of you and sometimes you don't even want to address them because you don't want to touch things wrong you really need wisdom in the workplace you don't have any of those issues he's got people dropping f-bombs and talking about whatever and you're not even trying to discern who's faking a manifestation to fit in manifestation we're just telling there's a side to pastoring you need to understand it pastor said pastors have who knows that some pastors have gotten caught being controlling and etc but then what happens is every time a person tries to Pastor he runs the risk of being called a controller because he's trying to Stewart and watch over men's souls and there's a lot of things to consider it's a little more sticky than you realize maybe when you really care if you don't care well then you don't care so whatever but when you really care you have to address this stuff but at work you just go to work in Jesus you know what was amazing I never even thought about finances I just left I just went to work and my church treated me really well I worked a job for 15 years in warehouse that was Teamsters Union I had the best health benefits on the planet I had a paid pension that I wasn't putting the penny into when the 401k it was a Teamsters Union pension that my company was contributing to through Teamsters so it wasn't even coming out of my pocket it was amazing job and it was blue-collar hard work lift a lot of weight but men they took care of me financially for not having a college degree right my church asked me to Pastor this was healthy I said no three times to pastoring some people can't wait for the day they're asked that that's probably why they're not getting asked I had friend Sam what do you do and saying no are you crazy I wish they'd ask me I jump on it I said that's why they ain't asking you I would tell them I'm not a pastor they say oh you're a pastor you don't understand us no I'm not I'm a warehouse worker in love with Jesus you know but look what God's doing three life I said he doesn't do those things through pastors he do such things through believer so I would just share and I was like just because you see God moving in my life you want to put me in leadership I'm I'm always in leadership because there's light in me and lights greater than darkness so I always carry influence it's so simple I'm looking at a whole room of leaders as soon as you get born again you're in leadership even though you're learning mentoring and following all through your life in an area of your life you're a leader because there's light in you and it's greater than darkness so you always carry influence as a Christian whether your disciple aware you're coming to LCU there's a component of your life that carries influence that actually causes you to be a leader in certain faucets of your day you get it so my church said we're not asking you to sacrifice we will match what you're making will will match your compensation and I said honestly this isn't even about money guys but that's a beautiful offer thank you I just don't believe I'm a pastor I just love being at my job and shinin because I had worked there 13 years with the guys I was just one of the guys now I'm born again now I'm there two and a half years two years and I'm totally transformed so for two years two and a half years total I got to go to work every day born again it was absolutely amazing and I got persecuted to no end people mad at me people saying I'm brainwashed I'm in a car I got around the wrong people they deceived me and I would just smile gently and say if you guys can help me like what's negative about my life the only thing the one guy could come up with is you're so polite it makes me sick it's the only thing they could say the bosses saw me as a yes-man I'm a pushover so they gave me jobs that everybody else would fight over and push down and bump down to lower senior men and then I'd just say sure yeah I'll do it no problem because I was there to do my work under the Lord why is the bad job have to always fall on the low man why is the low man always have to carry the way I'll do it it's no big deal I'm here to work I'll do it then my co-workers were on me because you're making it bad for all of us and they're gonna expect us to do these job so I had it from every angle but I'm just having the time of our lives supervisor calls me on my day off this is my first job when I got saved he calls me on my day off he says uh hey Dad he says this as so as I said hey what's going on I'm like why is he calling my house he's like I'm sorry I know it's your day off I said now are you kidding why'd you call what's up well I just don't know how you live the way you do and I said what do you mean oh come on man if I was in your shoes I would be so angry I'd be a mess I see what the boss says he's a boss I see what the bosses are doing to you then I see the heat you're taking for the co-workers and somehow you walk in this joy this piece you you never change and he said I know you're gonna tell me it's Jesus but I don't understand what that means I said why don't you come over to my house we sat on the porch talked he cried and we prayed and he said Jesus I want you this way I want you I didn't have a bullhorn consistency an attitude that was undeniable after I left that workplace a guy that was really mad because his mama died of cancer and he had issues with God and he had a lot of issues with Christians because they said one thing and did another and then Christians wear their little bumper stickers on their car not perfect just forgiven so that we can validate our lifestyles Oh God I felt a strange vibration in the room [Laughter] I'm not suggesting we're perfect but when we need to the world is not impressed by that bumper sticker they see it as a permission slip to embrace a belief and stay the same so they are not impressed with your Jesus because all you have different than them is the same belief system but you get thrown in crisis you'll cry just like they cry you get thrown in crisis you'll fret like they threat you get done wrong you'll be angry like they're angry they do not need to go to your church service because you're the same as them in their eyes or what happens on the job when you live consistent people start bumping into him in your life over and over and then they start asking you questions you're not initiating anything and that's so scriptural we don't talk about it much because we go evangelize so much but in the Bible they saw their lives and said what must we do to be saved what shall we do men and brethren they came to the Christians and said how can I have the life I see in you isn't that what's in your viral I'm not saying evangelizing is wrong it's just strange quiet in here right now I'm not saying evangelizing is wrong what I'm saying is what happened to men and serves what must we do to be saved I have had that in my life so much that I've convinced it's the Lord's way that's really amazing because they're coming to you from their heart because they're convinced which means convicted by your life they're seeing him before their eyes and it makes their heart hungry people have never even preached you people have never even spoken and explained the gospel that I worked with that never gave me the opportunity would come up to me weeping and say I don't understand your life how can I have what I see in your life I say it's really simple man here's what I have in my life and I tell him about how selfish I was how I was living for me and friend what your what your viewing is it's a man that incorporated Jesus into his life Jesus's life came into me and now he is my life and and I've prayed to him so I could think like him and look like him and love like him and perceive like him and the person Holy Spirit makes it possible so if you really want what you see in my life then you have to die to everything you call you so everything he is can come and live in you and then we're gonna pray and he's gonna come into you then we're gonna find water and get you baptized I'll hold you under till every bubble stops I have faith for it when I pull you a new life it'll be good and then I don't tell and then and then we're gonna lay hands on you and the power and person of Holy Spirit is gonna come upon you and baptize that's that's what you do and you take them to water I've baptized so many people in water like that that just take him down my home I'm at my fine water I've been in people's houses I said just go fill up your top right now co-workers fill up your top really yeah fill it up it's going to be amazing come on open your heart receipts and we go back into their bathroom and baptize them in their bathtub and give him a Bible cuz I took one with me cuz I knew what was coming I'm just telling co-workers in their bathtubs why was I in their homes they asked me to come cuz they didn't understand my life and they wanted to understand because in time through all the persecution their hearts couldn't escape them and they said their convictions and they said there's something real here there's something I don't understand and there was nothing negative about it every day consistency is a big deal unbelievers see inconsistency and then they write it off you say brother I feel so pressured that sounds like you're talking about perfection and talk about total purity that's empowered by grace you'd be amazed how perfect that can look we're almost afraid to talk about it we're so used to us that we've loaded our experience over following him and we're actually following ourselves not realizing it well we think this is how we are and this is how he is and we're trying to find a happy medium know Christ in me is the hope of glory Christ in me the hope of glory the reason I'm reading these scriptures is because they're in our Bible in a lot of places and it has to do with conduct the answer to walking in these things is your yes before God I promise you it's this simple you have to sincerely be willing to walk this way you say well that's that's everybody's willing no not everybody's willing to become love we prove it along the way of our life we sit in services we have encounters we get prophecy but we stay offended we find a right to be hurt and we call it normal and we justify it and all sudden you have three reasons for not looking like him because of this that and the other not everybody's willing to become loved you have to be willing to become loved you have to die to everything you've ever been so who he is can be alive in you that's a place of Prayer people that is not an altar call that is a place of prayer that is you getting along with him and yielding and surrendering and letting the great product on you and shape you into the masterpiece he created you to be you're the clay all the clay does is yield all the clay does is yield clay just yields to the hand the pressure the wisdom the craftsmanship and the master creativity of the Potter and you spin you on that wheel and I'll push a little here he'll just do a little extra working oh that's perfect and and then tada all you do is stay in that place where you're a yes and sear yes and you're willing and you take accountability for your own heart your your best accountability partner and when you go to sleep at night your conscience is clear because you're going after him come on why do yourself injustice and live anything else why not value yourself enough through the blood to position yourself right there that's true faith that's true humility to receive what he says about you and not fight it so if he says I love you ya beloved he says I forgive you forgiving father be forgiven and never look back if he says you're righteous and stand before him as if you've never sinned yeah it's the only way you'll stop fighting with sin just stand before him as if you've never sinned and watch how the power temptation drive and drawl of sin begins to dissipate in your life and you're not under the control of it as much as you think and it's sad you can hardly preach it in America without me calling a heretic but I got so many scriptures to back it up it just means we don't read our Bible we lured our own human experience even over his word and that's a shame because he's magnified his word above his own name you with me I hope you're getting so now this I worked two-and-a-half years in his job and I never confronted those people I never did anything like that I just lived the life of Jesus if they ask me questions believe me I took the liberty to answer so there was certain lunches when I was in the lunchroom and somebody asking questions so the whole lunch room got preached too it was a phenomenon I remember being in a situation where one of the forklift drivers was sitting upside down on a case taking his break like he was reading a paper and they hit me in the cross aisle with a question in six or seven men stood there and with passion I poured out my heart and explained Christ he was sitting 25 feet away he was not reading his paper after I was right towards when I was ready to leave to go pastor I finally did leave to go pastor the Lord showed me I was supposed to after they asked me three times in a six month period and it was two weeks after I left there he was afraid to ask his wife if she would go to church with him because he thought she'd laugh at him but he was so convicted by everything that he went to his wife watch how cool God is he told me this story because I bumped into him like a couple months later at a countywide prayer meeting and he's coming up the steps and he's supposed to be at work and he took a personal day to be there and he was hoping he'd run into me such a joy such a crown then you lay it all at his feet just he's coming up the steps see you don't understand when you were in faith when you really believe the gospel his life is worth that much or you can cop a little attitude and send him some different message you can have him in your life and have a season of influence in his life and just be another person that goes to church no no no you walk in him you live in him every life matters you see what I'm saying it's intense and it's powerful right but it's all a privilege and a joy none of this is a strain people say thank you for coming and thank you in a travel to churches every weekend I'm somewhere thank you so much that you would come I said do I look like I'm sacrificing you're not thank me for a thing I understand why you say that get it but the truth is I'm having the time of my life the Spirit of God is inside of me you understand what I'm saying he come up the steps he said I said what are you doing here he said hey Danny he hugged me he said he's a big boy I mean a big boy he hugged me he said I was hoping I'd see you here stop wait what are you doing here he said well Danny my heart was so convicted by your life in your words and there was a point where I just knew I needed to make a change and I said I know one of the most impacting nights of your life was in this man was when I was in the cross ion you would say he said that was the turning for see I knew because you get perceptions I'm talking to these six men but I was more aware of him than them I just knew cuz some of them were just maybe even testing me who knows it's still good I'm just Dani gospel seed you do I'm just right so throw as much seed as you can but I just felt like some good was going on here he told me he went home to his wife two weeks after that I left and went to go be a pastor left my job and that spoke to the men that I gave up my seniority my ears my you know I didn't give up my pension but I cut off my pension and my benefits so cuz I transitioned he said I said to my wife honey I need to ask you some don't laugh I was wondering how you'd feel about us going to church down the street here and it was actually a very good church I was aware of the pastor I knew the pastor personally and he said and when I say very good churches just I just know what their preaching is the gospel and he said she looked at me in tears filled her eyes and she said I've been wanting to ask you that for weeks and I thought you'd laugh at me he said we went to church in the pastor had an auto call and we held hands and walked the other knelt and cried and both got born again I was at another Christian event just several months after and I seen a guy there who was not a Christian when I knew him last and I ran over and I said hey wow what are you doing he said Danny hugged me I was like what is going on man are you saved he said the whole time you were at work the whole two years my heart was ripped man he said I tormented myself with convictions for two years but I didn't want to face the persecution I saw them he said when you weren't around they'd just be graded you they laugh today mocked and and you when you weren't around they talked about you like and and and he said but I knew you were free and I could see you were changed and he said they could all see it too and he said but I didn't want them doing that about me and he said all of a sudden I realized what am i doing like why am i letting them keep me from trying he said so I just got saved and he said now I attend this church and a mic there was so many Jack comes up to me I haven't seen him for I was a co-worker I hadn't seen forever he says hey brother I said hey brother I'm thinking he's being facetious cuz that's the way they used to think be at the time clock hallelujah brothers see you tomorrow the unbelievers would do that to me just in a mocking sense and I'm thinking what are they mocking I got more peace in my life than I can explain I'm gonna go ahead and get in my car and God's gonna speak to me I'll be pumping gas and somebody's gonna get touched what are you mocking like what are you making fun of I'm gonna wake up and Christ it's gonna be inside of me and the day in front of me is gonna be a gift how do you persecute that see I'm a mess I've been a mess for a while he said hey brother and I said brother I said please tell me you're not joking and tell me you got saved he said this is the most amazing getting all so nice I said I saw Jesus in his eyes I was like just brought me to tears I said you did - you weren't being sarcastic he said no he was driving from a bar down the road so much conviction Amy's driving in the Lord said isn't it enough how about meeting me now came in his car the Lord pretty confident fella the Lord just came in his car he said I swerved off the road I was on a back country road he said I opened up the door I could barely walk he said I was overwhelmed he said I knelt on the asphalt and I said I give you my life I had two co-workers leave work stop on the way home along the road overwhelmed by the Spirit praying in tongues couldn't even Drive and got right with God praying in tongues in their car trying to get home I could tell you stories like this for a while you know why power of the Spirit I get it consistency the Lord said Dan your life lived in front of them for these two-and-a-half consistent years has unplugged ears that were otherwise stopped because they were holding on to the hypocrisy experience they were holding on to whoever that like a guy that we worked with years back before I got saved he came he came and this is amazing the supervisor I told you about that called me this was him five six years before his marriage fell apart so he went to a church and said to a pastor can you pray for my marriage and he said well you got to do things for God if he's going to do something for you he said make sure you hand some tracks out and this and that and he'll restore your marriage so he's in it work handing out tracts and then his wife came back to him he never ever went back to church he just went back to his same old lifestyle so he was like he made a little plea bargain with God hey I'll do a couple things for you how about you doing me a favor and then five six years later he runs into my changed life and then he's convicted because yeah consistency guys it's why it's why all these scriptures are here Peter talks about perilous times and in the last days there's going to be men that really have the appearance of God but all these things are in their heart and the list is amazing I read that stuff from time to time like I I go to all of them in a row you see what yeah I go all of them in a row just then I go into worship and rejoice that I can't find them in my heart you understand I'm saying a lot of people think we have to have those things in our heart see I'm either a real deceived and twisted man and I'm living off the temporal looks you're giving me right now or I'm speaking the conviction of my life and what I believe is true and what I've lived for 23 years and then I'll stand before him some day and we'll find out are you with me so it's one or the other I'm either the most deceived man you've ever met or I bumped into something called Jesus someday we'll find out but for now I told you I told you power love I got all my chips on free on the free space what are you free from Dan I'm free from myself that makes me free from you circumstances the devil he only works with what you give him jesus said the rule of this world cometh has nothing in me I'm following Jesus I'm going to stick with Jesus on that one he cometh and has nothing in me he who keeps himself that evil one touches him not that doesn't mean circumstances he touches him not come on he touches him not we think circumstances when I was going through witchcraft leaders in my life the only people I had to talk to that were leaders in my life not one of them was able to help me in that situation in fact if I listened to him it would have been a great detriment they were telling me I was in spiritual pride and you need to go to the hospital and I said it's witchcraft the Lord showed me it's witchcraft I don't need a prescription or a name that the finished work I'm not against doctors make it known tape running I'm not against doctors there was a time I took my wife to the emergency room the Lord said it's witchcraft why so I knew how to stand in fight period there was no other option Jesus is going to deliver or I'm not getting delivered but I'm not budging from this place I just took that stand you can hardly preach that you get criticized for it but I think I'm doing okay all these years later it put a passion in me that was amazing like really amazing but this one pastor said Dan you need to get real and use wisdom brother you need to look at your leg and I said brother when would you ever preach that from the pulpit on a Sunday you'll preach the total opposite the drums will roll everybody will say hallelujah and you'll feel like a preacher and now behind the scenes because you're scared and you care about me you're telling me to do what you would never preach to the people and the other brother said well yeah but Dan here's what I think he's trying to say he's like I mean if you look at your leg you have to see like this is happening it's real Dan because my leg was twice the size the other one and I couldn't even use it it was completely immobile I was like completely dead I literally had to drag it along and he said and and I think what's puzzling me so much and he complimented my heart he said I don't know anybody in my life that understands righteousness like you and I'm envious of your relationship with Holy Spirit he said and I'm just troubled like I don't even know how the devil is allowed to touch you like this and I said touch me do you think he's touching me I said you're looking at my leg how about looking right here and tell me if he's touching me see that's the difference we go surf as circumstances blessing favor protection cover me he's talking about right here where this isn't for sale come hell or high water and everything looks like it's falling apart but your minds already settled and you don't know how to change your mind and you're not a look at outward appearance because you've been settled in your heart you with me come on if so convicting to those pastors I said maybe you guys need to get your eyes off my leg for a second and look right here and man when I said that I could feel my friend and I'm telling you Jesus thump that witchcraft it was so dramatic it was so crazy it would have made a wild crazy video and after it was all over I laid on my bed not joke and not in self righteousness in true compassion I cried for an hour on my bed and said God are we ready for what we say is warfare are we even ready to step out run hard and whether these things and keep our eyes on you or we turn inward get confused and take the adversity personal and I cried for one hour and interceded and asked God for grace on us as a church but sometimes the highest faith we release is for good circumstances and when the circumstances aren't working we wonder where our faith is failing and we let how it's going determine how we're doing instead of who he is inside of us come on that's just good solid preaching right there that'll take you right straight through the witchcraft and you know what happened you know what happened I got so passionate and so evident of his lordship you believe you believe it but until you go through Nebuchadnezzar's fire you probably don't have the revelation that Shadrach had after he came out are you with me a lot of times people see passion and they think it's because you're riding above the clouds no you see passion because you've been through a lot of fire but you don't see one smell of smoke but you do see passion why cuz he's Lord are you following me oh yeah I feel like shouting loud I'm gonna behave but man you know if I see if I was alone and not miked up right now it would be it would be not pretty my mother-in-law came to my house when nobody was home but me and she didn't realize my wife's car wasn't there she just pulled in and walked to the backdoor to drop something off and she heard me in the house screaming at the top of my lungs and I was upstairs she was at the back garage door she could hear me screaming inside the house the house was echoing she said and she thought I was yelling at somebody in the family scream cuz that would have been me before Jesus and she just said she cowered back to her car and thought I don't want to get in the middle of this oh my goodness Dan fell off the wagon she got to her car she told my wife the story and said you don't know how greatly that affected me this experience she said it affected her I have such a voice in my mother-in-law's life she comes back to the house because she gets out there and realizes Kim's car's not there and it's only my truck and she's like who's he yelling I worship you God I thank you you've saved me changed me I'll never be the same God I thinking that I honor you can Jesus you alone or god madman's for hours I've been a madman for hours for years now and she goes you know what happened inside her she went Wow he ain't doing that for nobody he ain't on a platform he ain't laid no prayer meeting he's the only one home he's got doors closed he's in a room and he's screaming like a madman people always they say they would know you're out of your mind no I'm out of yours [Applause] she called my wife she said I came over to the house to drop those cans upstairs screaming unless she said oh yeah he's okay he screamed before up there she said well I thought he was yelling at you or the key she said oh my goodness no he doesn't raise his voice at me in the kids man he yells at God she said Kim you don't know how much that affected me to come over and know he was in the room at that intensity with all his heart it shows me how much he believes and how real God is to him she said that has affected me since then I was such a voice in her life I've prayed with her I've watched God just take her out my own mother-in-law and it wasn't take her out coughs yes Lord finally what like that ever because you love people we we do my heart gods aren't your own heart a big favor just for a second have fun with me and just dare believe it's possible you personally just dare believe and just in your heart say yes and just believe that it's possible to not be offended to not be hurt to not be judgmental it's not be critical to not hate people despise people to be rubbed wrong believe right now that it's possible and just tell Holy Spirit you're gonna step out and believe it's possible to not be rubbed wrong to where you're pushed into an attitude that's never found in God that you actually believe he can sanctify your emotions your conduct your vision your perspectives in such a way that you can experience the salvation of the soul and you can actually get a redeemed mind will and emotions that looks like Adam before sin just believe that right now for a second and just believe it's possible to live and not have negative attitude to not have darkness intermingle to not be reactionary mopey pouty self-centered feeling sorry for yourself Oh would you just believe right now that you could live and never again feel sorry for father I ask you to bless that in grace that in Jesus name Amen yay okay look you don't have to believe me I you you know you won't criticize me somebody catches us might but it doesn't matter I'll stand before the Lord to my knowledge I'm not boasting in me right now don't hear it for that don't make me hero because of this just believe it's possible to my knowledge I if unless I'm mistaken but to my conviction and my knowledge in the 24 in June will be 24 years up and saved I felt sorry for myself and got caught in it one time and it lasted it was probably under five minutes and Holy Spirit said what are you doing laying on your face crying for mercy stand to your feet you're a man of faith and I'd look like one of them people that does acrobats stuff I was laying prostrate and I was on my feet I don't even know I got there my family went through a hard time right my family made bad choices all at the same time in a kind of weakness sprung off of weakness and thoughts come to your mind and say hmm when you weren't saved they all walked away from you and didn't want to be in the room with you now you are saved and they do the same what have you gained well that's the devil I didn't get save for my family to gather around me I got saved to become the man he paid for my family gather around me is certainly my desire and it's certainly a Perkin benefit but even if your whole loved ones and decide to run off and go another way you still got to answer what you're doing with Jesus you can't let that matter more you can't get saved so your spouse gets saved you get saved to become the person that God created you to be you're regardless of your spouse's choices and decisions that's the way grace will come on your spouse cuz my family is doing amazing don't get me wrong my wife is amazing she's got a tender heart she's a woman of Prayer she's doing as good today as probably any time I've seen her spiritually today both my children are doing very very very very well in the Lord so everybody's doing great but there was a season of eight years where it looked like a bomb was blown up into my home so I'm so passionate about these topics cuz I had the privilege of walking it all out it's not my doctrine it's my life it's and it wasn't a struggle I wasn't calling people asking for prayer and encouragement never even thought of that it never even dawned on me because I never felt rundown by there was one time in the living room where something manifest that had happened and he comes at opportune times and I was I was already challenged by such a circumstance and then there was a little more fuel thrown on this fire and in my heart I was like no I just ran to my bedroom and I was laying on my face crying saying have mercy God and all I was doing was saying I feel so sorry for myself how can they all do this to me Holy Spirit didn't even let me stay there he was like duh cuz I asked him to keep me on track I asked him to father me it was probably the second most militant I've ever heard the Lord speak to me he said what are you doing and he wasn't disgusted with me I didn't receive that you know he's repulsed by me he was just intense and my children to this day know if daddy gets a stern face and talks to them Stern it's really important and they probably should stop thinking and listen they don't think wow dad's mad it's because we're talking about life and death and I get intense sometimes it's not because I'm mad my family has learned that when I come across that way probably ought to listen this is spiritual and important they don't think boy dad's dad's mad and screw a little deeper than that Holy Spirit said what are you doing laying on your face crying for mercy stand to your feet you should have heard it shook me stamp to your fate what's he telling me you're not seeing what I'm seeing boy this is all working you've lost nothing no matter where they're at you're in me and I'm in you stop getting misguided with wrong thinking get up boy and be who you are it was amazing I won't go into detail because it's too personal what happened in the next 10 minutes but it was absolutely incredible god you're good I hope some of this stuff's helping it's it's it's everyday conduct it's mine perceptive perspectives there's two places in the New Testament where it talks about the salvation of your soul it's first Peter one and it's Hebrews ten the end of the chapter first Peter one I think verse nine but but both of them are having to do with living by faith receive receiving the end result of your faith like in first Peter 1 it says the end result the consummation of your faith the salvation of your soul that's the total restoration Redemption healed delivered made whole kept safe and sound state of your soul through truth because you're living in truth you have to understand this that the way you grew up in the way I grow this isn't too hard to get this is pretty simple watch the emotional make up that you've experienced in your life before Jesus has nothing to do with what God created it's what you became through Adam living separate from God with no identity being self-centered to the poor God didn't make you with the ability to be so angry that you could hate someone that came through the fall Adam didn't just sin he took on the nature of God's enemy and we were all formed in iniquity in her mother's womb and born into Adam that's why we need born again anger came natural insecurities came natural self-consciousness came natural God didn't people say well you say about none of my feelings God gave us feelings not the feelings you grew up with friend I'm full of feelings floral feelings but they're not degenerate to my walk and they're not costly to you they're not they're never at your expense they never write you off I'm super passionate about things inside I'm super passionate in my communication but it's not the way it was before it's all realigned so you got to just break ties with that thing and say wait a minute the emotions I grew up with our soap reversed it's the wrong school I was in the wrong school I got to get out of this school I've been homeschooled but now I'm in the world and not of the world so I have to change classes I'm still in the world but I'm not of it I I mean indifferent I'm in a different school I'm not conformed to the world I am transformed that's not 360 that's a 180 I'm transform how are you transformed by working hard biting your lip and praying a lot you're transformed by your mind thinking like you've never fought before by the renewing of your mind come when the stuff is so important in a school like this guys hi I want you to love everybody you see I want you to words and knowledge man and then they'll happen because yours you're under an anointing there's an importation just the fact that you're hearing God meeting your hunger who knows you're gonna see things perceive things in miracles and stuff but man you want to run well to the end and walk in a manner worthy of him you want to leave a testimony in the hearts of men that you have been sanctified by the Lord I have no time for anything else that man over there he would sit the guy with the big long dreads he would sit in my truck and he would cry and say I don't want anything but Jesus I don't want anything if you ever see anything in my life that doesn't look like dude just kill me man just kill me and I'd say I will we just keep driving I said I will don't worry I will and won't believe you raised and come up right but we was kind of a little joke but it wasn't a joke when I'd say I will and he said just kill me I watched him cry over and over didn't want nothing to do with sin do you want nothing to do with unforgiveness Jim what nothing do with judgment saw it as outside a plague nothing to do with the life that's in me man I used to bless my heart because I didn't have a lot of people in my life that I could relate to that way and he perceived that in me and that thing probably he sees it in the word it just I was his heartbeat and I liked it I never talked much to him about it but I'm on learning it right now I'm saying man I watched him cry a lot about living in purity and the only time I'd ever call him I say you would get real intense but he's not just good guys just chill you're on your way more than you realize so because some of us were so hungry we feel like we're not where we should be so we're always aware of where we're not and then we never enjoy where we are and I was just trying to protect him from that a little bit without even him probably knowing it are you following me this pure place is very important or the Scriptures I'm about to read right now wouldn't be here I'm gonna read now I'm finally gonna read I shouldn't have to preach much after I read I'm looking at the subtitles in my Bible like Ephesians 4 verse 17 it says the new man that would be really cool to read right you read straight through you you get to the Ephesians 5 and my subtitle was walk in love Wow next subtitle verse 8 walk in light next subtitle verse 15 walk in wisdom it sounds like we probably ought to just read this it sounds like a Christian so we're gonna who knows yesterday we talked about the gifts in the body of Christ as far as the fivefold we call it the fivefold ministry some argue and say it's the four fold ministry that pastors and teachers are one in the same I don't have to decide that I think we argue over little tidbit stuff I think we better catch the point of why these people are in the body of Christ they're in the body of Christ for the equipping of the Saints for the work of the ministry for the building up of the body of Christ watch till we all come not most of us he wants all of us to come to the unity of the faith the faith he stuck the word Ville in there so you realize it's the born-again Christian perspective of why you're saved and the knowledge of the Son of God now watch this to a perfect or complete man see God is pulling off all limits here he said my grace is sufficient I'm coming in grace to a complete man watch this to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ it is not humility to talk ourselves down it's deception and it's pride he's calling you here we said well that's just us you know well it's a wonder God considers us well you know how that all wicked flashes you know how that well don't live in your flesh crucify it get in the water get them to hold you under longer whatever works but crucified see people say stuff like I said over lies what they're doing and they give them some ways to have a brother what you're talking about the streets now cuz everybody has their moments man no stop that's why you have yours and you're afraid to believe something different because your experience is dictating your beliefs who everybody has their moments dude you can't share testimony like that we're not perfect stop thinking that's a humble statement Matthew 5:48 be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect it means complete when your beliefs complete there's a grace that comes to make your life more complete than you ever thought was possible why not go for that and see what it looks like instead of getting busy arguing over whether we have to sin every day or how long it has to be in between or maybe we're sinning and don't even know it or sin and why we're breathing instead of just wasted all kinds of time talking about that why not just go after righteousness and let's see what grace produces and step into something that's always been there that feels good wonder if we do that I bet that's called believers because the truth is you're believing something you're even believe in your past practice you either believe in the language that we talk in the lunchrooms or you believe in the world and without realizing it without realizing it I believe we have made our own human experiences Lord and we are following ourselves as we're saying we're following him and we actually some of us get tricked into believing we can only go so far and be so much but that doesn't sound like what he's saying listen let's read it slow to a complete or perfect man to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ oh that sounds so limited that was facetious that we should no longer be children just tossed to and fro and carried about by everything everybody's saying but trust God's grace and believe His grace is greater that he can actually empower me to live something that I never thought was possible why so he gets all the glory so I can really say without being religious I am what I am by the grace of God but it takes you believing it takes you yielding and surrender praying these things out when nobody's looking you might have your mother-in-law down there listening but you don't know it just be with him yeah ain't it something how productive God is he so redemptive I'm up there having a beautiful time with the Lord it's just me and him and he's whack of a mother-in-law and I don't even know it I ain't trying to minister I'm just being in him yeah no longer children tossed to and fro carried about with every wind and doctrine and the trickery of men and cunning craftiness and deceitful and plotting come on there's so many strategies out there designed to keep the kingdom of God from being revealed but speaking the truth in love watch this we may grow up in how many things all things into who into him he's the one we're following who is the head and he is Christ I tell the sadly funny story of my kids when they were mid-teens they sat me down and initiated a child parent talk and they were they were trying to justify their own desires and the decisions they wanted to make in their life and I was the last hurdle they needed to jump so he sat me down and tried to tell me how I'm too extreme and it's too much Jesus and here's the thing I never preached to my kids I just lived my life and they were convicted by it and they knew that God was in me and they knew the God of their daddy and my kids weren't mad saying I'm a hypocrite or I'm a preacher and saying one thing in at home doing another that's not the case they just had contrary desires that they weren't quenching through relationship so they were seeing me as a stumbling block in their life instead of a blessing because they had to somehow get around me they were feeling like because of who I was they were compelled and expected to follow everything and even though they honored the God in me they didn't develop a relay a ship so they're honoring a goddamn Eid and then power them to live any of that they felt pressured my boy said I have to do Jesus because he's my dad that's what he told me he used to think as a teenager that everybody's expecting him to be like me and do more than me everybody come and give him all these prophesies which really weren't prophecies they they they weren't it's just kind hearted kind intending people but it was causing more damage than good they would come and say you're gonna not walk in the steps of your father you're gonna walk way beyond the steps of your father and you're going to accomplish in da-da-da-da-da-da-da and they were always making his life a direct result of mine who knows his life should be a direct result of his relationship with Jesus see I set my kids down a long time back and said hey I don't believe we live in a glass house I believe we're Christians and we live in a glass world our lives matter and I'm not threatened by your choices your conduct because in the end you will not be a reflection of me and how I parented in the end you'll be a reflection of you and how you handled your life and God and I said if I want if somebody wants to see me they might look at you to try to find me they will find they were deceived if they want to see Who I am they need to look to me if they wants to you are they need to look to you so please don't be under pressure I am NOT gonna push you guys to live any certain thing for my sake you are not a threat to the Christ in my life and I just told my kids that I told him a thousand times over to stop believing the lies and the pressure that they were letting come on her so and isn't it amazing how even though you tell them a thousand times they still hold on to the pressure now that it's all over and they look back and they're like yeah and my son values me and respects me they had this little parent-child parent conference not parent child child parent they net mentioned a couple leaders in our church they mentioned a pastor and they said well even he and even he they were looking around trying to find things that they can find and then comparing me to them and them to me and they were like but Dad like nobody's like living like what you're living like you're - you're just over a little line dad you're over the line like what are you talking about I'm over the line well you're just too much Jesus like everything's Jesus and I'm like yeah and I said let me try to tell you help you guys with what you're doing right now you have contrary desires in your heart you're about ready to go eat the stew you know you're gonna sell your birthright to eat the bowl of stew and you're just trying to get around me you see me as the last turtle you're trying to clear your own violated consciences so you're coming up with a way to do what you're setting out to do and use this as justification I said here's the problem those men you mentioned man don't don't do that to those men don't bring them up in this conversation don't focus on their lives that way for one thing it's not fair to them and for one another thing I'm not following them so to compare my life to them and them to me is zero I'm following Jesus and I said if you guys would just go take a good look at Jesus maybe you'll see that there is somebody that I'm looking like and that's looking like me cuz that's my goal and it is all about him kids and they kind of like head it on out the room in that something your car looks important do you know how nasty it would have made that scene that I walked through with my family if my life was being lived in compromise you might be amazed with the end result of that might have looked like if I was living my life and compromising giving them a valid justification so rather than feeling sorry for yourself because your whole family's doing that to you maybe you ought to see you have a way higher calling sending a message of truth in the midst of darkness and letting light shine and trust in one day the the whales gonna cough up folks and they're gonna land on the shore yeah guess what we're gonna read more of Ephesians four okay we're gonna speak the truth in love and grow up into him and how many things verse fifteen all things and he is the head right he's Christ from whom the whole body joined knit together by what every joint supplies this is just beautiful language according to the effective working by which every part does it share causing growth to the body for the edifying of itself in love man if I'm reading this right correct me if I'm wrong somebody but if I'm reading this right the edification we've received isn't always the touch of the Lord and the drink of the Lord it's the it's the increased grace as we live in faith this is an edifying of our self in him it's ultimately all grace but we progress that action by stepping out and what's true you see what I'm saying so by you guys coming here starting to walk in a lifestyle of true Christianity look at the ultimate corporate influence that has in the big picture pretty hard the way pretty hard to measure Wow you did it okay so this I say verse 17 is the section subtitled the new man watch this this I say therefore and testify in the Lord that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk and the futility of their mind now you can read this and read it legalistic that's what men have done and then they teach law and you could read this as a command a rule a law or you can be in your bedroom sitting on your bed and you can read this and you could go WOW father I thank you I have a new life in front of me father I used to be bound to constrained by all I knew but now I no more man I used to walk in the futility of my mind but you've opened my understanding and now I understand what my life is all about now I get it why I'm here I used to think I didn't matter I used to think I was a mistake and now I know you had your eyes fixed on me the whole time even before time and man I thank you for delivering me saving me and putting your life inside of me and then you start reading more verses and now you're not just reading your Bible you're communing with the Lord and you're praying and communing it back to the Lord and as you're reading it it's coming alive on the inside of you he says you're gonna meditate day and night meditate that man that meditates he doesn't sit in the seat of the scornful he meditates day and night on the world the Lord that man will be like a tree he'll be planted by the river of living water man his lives me think on a wither he's gonna have fruit in season why because he's meditating day and night meditating it means to muse and outwardly utter yeah this I say and therefore testify Lord you should no longer walk as a father I thank you I'm born again I think I'm in the world and not of the world and that's not a self righteous decree or an arrogant plea God you have delivered me from the lies that have been snared me you have put life in the untruth in me God you've opened the eyes of understanding I am no longer living in darkness I know why I'm alive man if you would pray like that and not worry about who said what and who didn't what why you didn't catch a break here ah you play like that you won't even see that having their understanding darkened he's talking about the Gentiles being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that's in them father I thank you I'm not ignorant anymore god I thank you you've held my heart accountable you have put truth inside of me when I'm reading my Bible I'll just stop and talk like that right in the middle of reading I'll just acknowledge truth in my heart I'll see God and I thank you that light that light that sinned me is going to shine and expose darkness these people you're referring to because of the light that you're burning in me somebody's gonna see this list is getting smaller somebody is not going to be alienated because you've entered me in you just make decrease like that while you're sitting on your bed reading she did it because of the blindness of their heart who being past feeling and having given themselves over to lewdness just living for things that don't matter except for the flesh to work all uncleanness and greediness you know we see these listen we think he's always talking about like just some extreme sexual sin or violating a child or murdering someone listen he calls unbelief an evil and wicked heart why because it resists everything that's true it resists the kingdom it resists everything that he paid for unbelief is an anti finished work of Christ action he calls it evil and unbelieving heart is evil and wicked ain't that something he says let no one be found with an evil and wicked or an evil unbelieving heart and there's another scripture that calls it evil and wicked and get something what's this lewdness to work all kind of unclean this ingredient is watch but you have not so learned Christ if indeed you have heard him and have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus what's he saying you find the truth through him truth has a name he's Jesus he's the Word made flesh you look at Jesus and you find life you see life in the father he's your model you're following him the only way we follow one another is as we follow Christ Paul said only follow me as I'm following Christ Paul wasn't a cult leader he wasn't like getting a bandwagon he wasn't ministry driven hey guys getting the Paul bandwagon no no when the people were tempted to get onto Apollo's the Peter and the Paul wagon he corrected and called it sectarianism and redirected him back to Christ and said you're living carnal stop it said I'm glad I didn't baptize a lot of you or you'd all make me you know you'd all be in the Paul group he wasn't happy with them for doing that right or Jesus people we respect Todd we love Todd but you're not Tata might you're not Dynamite's Christ in us and as he's received grace and as he's received revelation you follow him as you see he's following Christ and that's what God wants to reproduce okay yeah you know yeah I got silly there I'm trying to fight it off I was just thinking about his dreads and everything and then people like they get you'll want to grow dreads because Todd has dreads thinking they'll be anointed dude it's like Samson it's like you got the Nazarite thing going I'm like I we used to stay in hotels we'd be ready to go to bed and he was growing as dreads I'd say buddy I don't know if I need prayer or what but I feel this still either thing it's coming all over me man remember he'd say he'd say don't you do it buddy don't you do it I'd say well you'll love me we know the message you're gonna love me anyway if you wake up and I got a scissors in hand in him but I said I feel it coming on me man this Delilah she is all over me right now she I was crazy man when he was first growing him things out it looked like a thousand worms sticking out his head they were all little and then he had them all grouped up into bigger worms now they're snakes but he'd sit in the middle of the night he'd be talking in his sleep and he's in the window and I mean I'll hotel bed and I look and there's Todd in a window the Medusa Greek goddess I'm like thinking I'm cement I'm like I'll thank you for covering it all I was hoping he didn't look at me huh he's crazy I mean you wake up at 3:00 in the morning and he's standing over your bed preaching hey buddy you okay yeah one night he went he was standing my bad he kept me up late he kept like a kid in camp he's like hey buddy I'm like Shh bedtime hey oh well just one more question buddy but what about and then any went on for 15 minutes this is all he says that's wrong I know you listening to me over there you hear me you can't tell me who just fell asleep that quit he said so you're gonna teach them love tomorrow and you're
