Dan Mohler - Start Believing @ RHLC - July 2018

okay I'm still figuring it out still figuring out where I'm at okay redemption house Lord Jesus thank you good I come down here to get stretched everyone so I'll just stay just a free I don't know if I can recover right now I feel like I've talked I laugh the lord have mercy that doesn't help stop you guys good there's our last little time together this afternoon it's been fun it's always fun I wouldn't come down here if it wasn't flying I don't come down because I think you need it so bad that's what some people think they say you came back you just knew how much we need it so bad that doesn't even cross my mind but people say that stuff it's so funny like a lot of times when we when we hear somebody preach it's something we think that it's because it's in the room directly in God's addressing it sometimes he's just fathering and protecting you so you can keep running well and just teaching you who you are amen amen one thing he doesn't ever want you to do is is hear a word even if it fits for the moment to hear a were denying condemnation or pressure like he doesn't want you leaving saying things like boy I sure got a long way to go that's how people leave a service sometimes when they get convicted there their take is I sure got a long way to go and the way to bring life to that is man I got Direction today boy a light was lit on the trail and it ain't dark in front of me no more man I got something out of this this morning it's not about where you're not it's about where you're heading and where you're going and how you're growing so it's not like people leaving symboi I don't know if I'm barely saved you know that's that's not the purpose of the word of God the Word of God is to locate you and inspire you move you onward amen amen and if you actually look in Hebrews the reason we gather I know we have Freedom Fest and we have visions for while we gather but scripturally the reason we gather is to in order that we stir one another in love and good works so I'm always careful to do that and talk about you know it's not wrong to believe God for a job and and it's not wrong to believe God for a raise and and things like that at times but you can't let those things decide who you are and how you are they're just the blessings of the Lord they're the perks and benefits to the Lord so you don't gather in a service all the time for what God might do for you in the moment you come into a room for how it can make you more like him how he can mold you and shape you through truth and by his spirit to live with impact within your spheres of influence you follow me so if you multiply the sphere of influence that's represented just in this one room you're touching a lot of people there's a lot of people involved in the sphere of influence that is involved in the faces in this room your sphere of influence just means the people you pass by have access to Robin elbow against and just touch along the way lets you serve influence the people you have access to the gentleman said about traveling and he you know and I said man I'll make the most of traveling tribes fine it's not that he said anything wrong he just said about traveling I said you know I don't mind traveling at all and it's your perspective on things that I said minute puts me beside somebody in an airplane I may never see in my life every weekend of travel it's just that the journey it's just that it's exciting it's yeah so when I travel what puts me around people that if I wasn't traveling I may never see in an entire lifetime so I just seize the moment I got held up the other night and couldn't make it home from the airport last weekend and I had to stay overnight at the airport at Charlotte and that's not a burden it I was supposed to go from Arkansas to Chicago I was on the plane the pilot got on and said flight control said we can't fly for two and half hours because a storm cell systems over Chicago so everybody has to deplane you should hear that grumble on that play there's like this manifestation of people turning into something else because their flight is got delayed for two and a half hours they manifest into something else and I went out and I thought well I'm definitely missing my connection last flight into Harrisburg I'll be staying overnight in Chicago I hustled over to the desk quick and I said hey can you check the flight to Charlotte from here there's gotta be one and Charlotte to Harrisburg there anyway she said oh I can do that you want to get on that I said yeah that would be cool I'll get on Charlotte go in two hours but she said house so she did that for me so when I get to Charlotte I get on my plane it's the same as that thing I can't even tell you the last time it happened it happened twice in one trip I'm sitting on my plane I got my bag stash and the pilot got on and said if you notice we haven't closed the door yet and normally we'd have been doing the safety routine by now and back it out because we're three minutes past two parts of time but the reality is we got a little maintenance issue we're looking into we don't think it's a big deal but we'll let you know as soon as we find out so I'm like okay so we're sitting there you know I sent another text or so to my wife quick we're chatting back and forth to the pilot karana said well it looks like this plane is going to be taken out of service and this flight is officially canceled and everybody went [Music] they just turn into stuff man and I'm like what every time you in a situation that it's an opportunity to love people to encourage people to actually without trying to preach out I'm sure a perspective that's keeping you okay you know I mean I'm in line with a lady and she's just I just gotta get home I don't know do anything just talk and we get talking conversation happens I don't have a ministry strategy I have a perspective I live by comes out of my mouth because it's in my heart I'm not trying to quote lines I'm like under zero pressure all the time cuz I'm not trying to model some form of ministry it just being who you are in him now if you're not thinking in him this isn't me if you're not thinking in him if you're not communing with them if you haven't built your heart up in him you probably won't have a great response in him just say yeah does that mean so yeah travel stuff like that so every one of us in this room I just told that little thing not because I'm having anywhere with a specific story just to show you that all of us have a sphere of influence if I wouldn't do what I do I wouldn't be around some of the people I've been around I wouldn't sat in the cars and in the in the van and and the guy that blessed me that took us to shuttled us to the hotel and I watched him do something and I said I don't think he needed to do that at all I think he went out of his way to sense to do that he actually was from a hotel that we there put us in he found people standing at the at the stop that were going to another hotel that were waiting for a long time and they were wondering where that shuttle was and he said well I can't help you I'm not affiliated with that hotel but if that's where you're going I'll tell you what I got some seats just jump in I'll just take you there shuttle driver most guys on their job ain't thinking that they're thinking any my hotel forget it I got my own people and I got a driver he went over to their hotel dropped him off and I thought that Hotel ain't painted on the side of his van because it was three hotels in this little complex and he represented them three I thought the pain on that span so when we got to the hotel I said hey man did you give him one guy's a ride to a hotel that that you ain't even affiliated with like just because he said well yeah I just I want to help him out I said man I went right in my pocket so I pulled out money I sit here he said whoa whoa I said you take it I said honestly I know it's coming from me but I'll believe it's from the Lord I said he likes the way you're thinking he likes yeah I just made it a Jesus thing he likes what you did Jesus likes that and I'm just blessed in that blessing you a man I'm glad I met you but I didn't tell him damn Moeller guess so crazy to me Peter said whose damn molar has it yeah because it's getting weird now it's freaking me out cuz I'll be at an airport now I'm just looking forward to food court decide on what I want shoulder tap and look some we stand there trembling I think they need delivered like I say hey you okay are you - yeah it's just weird I was just at a airport I did it I did it as a lady since unless she said something really sweet and she disappeared I started to think was that even a real lady because she looked and she was going and there is a lot of people and there's a crowd I'm sure she slipped away but she was about my age it appeared and she just said she was so she was sweet but she looked nervous they're like nervous she said oh my goodness it is you just a molar and I'm like okay yeah honey good to see you bless you and she said no you don't understand the things you're preaching the things you're saying you are a guest and oh wow and somebody said some or did something behind I mean I just looked around she was cool felt that quick to me I was like Jesus Jesus what's up so I went I didn't get what I was looking for there cuz I smelled Sbarro I smell pizza pizza I went down around the corner I said I knew it was actually a flying Charlotte a lot of times I knew I get there and I'm looking I get tapped I turn I see younger she's all sincere she said oh my goodness I said God honey I said it's okay she said no you don't understand the things you preach and change my whole life and yeah it's sweet but it's weird to make us all right the airport I'm real going up the escalator this lady's gone the other way and she says looks like you're a golfer [Laughter] funny but but it's a sphere of influence there's people you pass by InTouch that that maybe in a whole day in a whole week somebody might not pass by them that actually carries a revelation that you have or even has a conviction you've been given it's just fun together together we really have an impact if we all just settle in our hearts you know what I'm gonna talk plain plain like really plain we just decide you know what I'm gonna wake up and stop just the craziness of just life and trying to get by and who once said this didn't feel and and just say you know why I'm gonna settle this thing my wife is a gift and He gave His Son to restore the truth about this gift called my life so that I can wake up in truth and live in truth and Mark the hearts of men for eternity and bring glory to his name forever like I believe that wonderfully all in this room just say you know what I believe that so I'm just done with the craziness I'm done with the simple he said cease and tit-for-tat well I'm heard well I don't know why well they should enough how come that cuz none of that ever produced anything good anyway or whatever did was give you a permission to be less than what you're created for but maybe you were right but maybe didn't produce anything right just so does it matter if you're right wonder if everybody in this room will just say the best I understand you just put away all that craziness that stuff that never produced like that natural reason that human reasoning that way that seemeth right - man that wisdom of man I was gonna put it away I'm gonna stop growing in the truth called Christ in me Christ in me I want to settle once and for all he loves me and my life is worth his blood wouldn't that be cool if you just settle on that and you just decide the days of insecurity low esteem looking for attention needing to be told something specific to feel good over because I'm done I'm done I'm just done wonder if you just say I'm just done getting tricked and to finding myself through other things whether it's a relationship whether it's just a Sundy passing oh you look so nice there's nothing wrong with it but when you need it it's not even healthy it's only it's only awesome when you don't need it because the problem is when you need it you're trying if you're trying to accomplish that you're trying to you're trying to earn that and then if that doesn't come then you don't believe that so then you're limited if it comes or not so you're only okay if people say the right thing then you can let down by people so after a while you're we want to be around people because it just does never work anyway and next thing you know you just saw alone that happens to people all the time you walk into a room for a wrong reason and get your heart disappointed what if one of all of us in this room would just say I'm done with other motives I'm done with I'm just done man I'm coming out of denial on some things I'm gonna really look at the why behind my life and then I'm gonna really weigh if what I'm doing is for his great name and for his kingdom because I don't just want to sing songs about it I want to be the way I wake up and live I don't want to let do in church take the place of knowing him I don't want to let what I sing take the place of what I live come on you say okay I get it I want to say yeah how do I get there say yeah and then when you're laying in bed and ain't nobody around even if you're married you just hold off a long you know long enough let your spouse slip to sleep get in a bedroom or bathroom by yourself and just talk to him about it I feel like I'm being so simple right now but I feel like it's so important somebody's got to get alone in a room here and just close that door and actually believe when nobody else is around actually believe your life is worthy of his blood and believe that your life is worthy of his love because of the cross not because anything else you see yeah but brother you'll know where it's Dobb we're not even talking about where you been we're never talking about how many times what are you talking about nothing like that when I'm talking about when you were four or 10 or 12 we're not talking about that Shh you don't even realize what's happening this truth is trying to get into your heart you push it off a but yeah but because you've been so trained that you're something else you've been so trained your something else oh you are to him is worthy of his blood oh you are to him is worthy of his death so you can come alive all you are to him it's predestined to be adopted before time ever was so don't try to interrupt that with what was when he is somebody I'm telling you somebody in this room it would benefit you to get alone when nobody's looking and just close the door and lift your hands when ain't nobody around and break through those lies and break through that self-image that's twisted lift your hands and say you know what today I'm gonna be a believer and I'm gonna believe based on one thing if you sent your son which you did and he died on that cross then my life is precious to you that would be good for somebody to do and because you died on that cross I believe you love me unfailingly some people if they think he's disappointed if they think he's disgusted with Appu you need to stand in your room and staff thank you you're not disappointed while I was yet a sinner you sent your son and there's a higher destiny for me I'm done believing lies you gotta start somewhere like that and you can't just listen to the preacher you gotta go be with him I'm just telling you straight if you don't go be with him the things you hear will turn on you in time and judge where you're not instead of empower where your to go come on I'm trying to help you if all you do is listen to the preacher and you don't go get alone with God and have intimacy with God what you heard in time will turn on you and judge where you're not and then the only way to get by that is just to doll yourself or get into now or just learn to go through the motions without any apparent heart activity or reality or get condemned to back out a lot of people don't even do that they just stay in the the mix gain more knowledge and the knowledge turns on and tells them where they're not and because then they feel the brunt of that they don't ever get alone and be with him because of what they believe they are it's a cycle his vicious lie twisted and while all that's going on his blood speaking better things Wow it's all going on his mercy is triumphing over judgment and while all that's going on is mercy and love is covering a multitude of sins ain't that something we got to be the best receivers on the planet there was a guy coming through recovery he get in my vehicle he was in a halfway type house thing he was just in a house recovery house ministry back in my area and I was pouring into these guys and he needed a ride I said come on man I'll take you I got time she ain't too busy I said no no I got a little bit of a schedule today but I can take you where you're going I want to talk to her mind Jordan I got him in my car we were chatting he said man you know I can get them and Bible CDs like they make them somebody just told me they make Bible CDs this guy had been in prison it was a little he's a little out of touch with some things that are going on and stuff he had just got out he went right into this house cuz he wanted to get things right he said they got CDs and Bible with God just preached in the Bible in the city he said I'm not the best reader man I need to get ahold of one of them he said can you tell me where I could get like a set of Bible CDs like where would be the best place to look for them I said just open that glove box right there and he said well I said open the glove box no I said that black case he says is that what this is where did you buy this I said I don't even remember but that's how you when it's already in your hands I said I said God is quick a knee and he said well no that's yours I can't take this as you say nothing mine that's a problem with folks thinking everything's theirs ain't nothing yours life's a gift life stick if people say why don't you like this why didn't you like that I said man as somebody needs it bad enough they're gonna have to break the law to get it they're already breaking the law if they take it they gonna make it worse and crack my window to get it I'll save my window and they still have my stop I pull in the Walmart I got my boat in the back my boat I got all my fish and stuff like I'm Rob's they're not doing a wall Martin come out I am worried about nothing you've got security system cameras I just said nothing's mine and this is not gonna get worked up over something he said but this is yours I said no it's yours I just gave it to you it's in your hand she said oh my goodness no way he said I can't take this he threw it back with glove box ready shut the box he said I've always had a hard time receiving I said that's the same you're gonna make a terrible Christian [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] he said don't tell me that don't prophesy that I said I ain't prophesy nothing you have a hard time receiving you're gonna be terrible Christian you go stay in condemnation not believe you're forgiving not believe you're a son not believe you're worthy not believe you're accepted in here stay in regret stay in condemnation get what you deserve you gonna be a terrible Christian dude if you can't receive we just stood there cry we sat there clock you're my glovebox a tip to think that's funny in it man this thing is big this thing is nasty man I'm trying to get it up off of my ear it's trying to carve a new chapel behind my ear I can feel it it's treating my ear like it's clay or something hey man I got it up off of there right now like thank you Jesus I don't know I'm starting to weigh the options cuz that started to look better I starting to look better I'll let you know in about a minute or two if this thing falls back down in that groove I've never had the control tower tell me to bring it in ever people tell you how to wind up a message and land I never heard the control tower say bring it in I just stopped by the sink will buy us better stop see how I stopped earlier listen I'm just trying to compel your heart on this last session look nobody can make you do nothing you guard your own heart what you do out of your own heart and and and what you do with the words you hear so important and if you don't see and realize that your life is worthless and you just get around this language so much that you get familiar with it to where it doesn't even touch your heart that's dangerous place to be man it was just language that you could I'm used to it's just the way the people talk to go to church come on that is dangerous you're gonna get alone you got to get alone when nobody's around you gotta sit on the bench take a walk down the street man get somewhere where nobody's listening but your own heart and conscience and start talking this way and start believing don't be like my life such a mess God if you don't do something with my life soon I'm gonna make it much God my life such a mess that might be okay for a person that doesn't know God and they're crying out in despair and he intervenes but that language should shift soon after thanks for receiving me thanks for loving me man I appreciate you forgiving me through the blood of your son Jesus putting your life inside of me filling me with your spirit thank you Lord that you're teaching me to live a different way think a different way come from a different place answer conscious man believe it I say it all the time this is not rocket science I don't say that all the time what I'm about to say I say all the time and it's not so deep like if you if what you're thinking what you're believing doesn't produce life in you and excite your heart it cannot be the Lord he came to give you life more abundantly that doesn't spur you to compassion or the mercy if you just sit there I just can't believe they said man I mean they should know better I can't believe and next thing you know you moo-moos on that long enough your heart's all messed up you're questioning things you're looking at other people with a raised brow now you're wondering who else's and you're just oh my goodness it's just such a mess no you heard what they said you saw what they did you tried to talk to them they didn't seem to care they said forget it man I am worried about and they walk away when you muse on that here so you know you're in a healthy place when you're not frustrated with them when you're not taken back by them where you actually are concerned for them where you could hurt for them you can actually go alone and cry for them that's when things are in the right place I'll say man until you're crying for others we haven't made this shift why is it so easy to cry for ourselves I can't believe they did that to me it should be man I can't believe they're still living in that they mustn't be seeing something they could see man if they knew who they were they wouldn't even been doing what they're doing man they need a touch they need help they need laughed that's your beach boy they kicked me off they should get it by now how long they've been hanging around this ministry anyway see there's so many ways that we justify the flesh and human reasoning there's so many ways we justify living outside of love because we talk long enough to agree wonder if Jesus is sat and looked at all our lives he's that look to our lives and he's scheduled to come to earth come through Mary and go to that cross he's scheduled before the foundation world he's got an appointment with the earth but it ain't quite here yet and he's just sitting here watching the earth and he starts going you know I'm not so how I feel about these people anymore I mean they are notorious for saying one thing and doing another I mean they sing songs about me that make me sound like I'm the greatest thing ever happened in their life and ten minutes later they're talking like paint never even heard of me I ain't even sure how I feel about these people I don't even know if they can change and I don't know if I want to go take that kind of beating when I don't even have a guarantee they're gonna respond I'll tell you what Sonny's people just seem like they're in such a lot they gonna stay there forever anyway I should save myself a little pain and a little heartbreak and a little heartache and they they ass it just chill up here race Michael and Gabriel and see if I can win or something on the chariot because I don't know if I should be even going down there well we making sense to anybody wonderful once he gets here then he's a little ways then then he says you know man now that I'm seeing this firsthand this is a mess god you're the one that lets me hear their thoughts I wish you'd turn that gift off this ain't this ain't happy hearing there flops let me not just heal people and they're trying to figure out what demons possessing me that ticks me off a little bit I come in doing some good and they're trying to call it bad I don't think I laying down nothing else for people like that anybody ever hear anything like that come out of Jesus anybody ever see anything like that come out of Jesus well then where'd we learn it if he didn't teach us that where'd we get taught that who if it wasn't from him I wonder where we got that Wow see if I can't see it in his life I don't want it in my life he said don't let anyone be your teacher you got one teacher so if he didn't teach me that where'd I get that see faith says that matter sincerity says that matters this will cause my heart to take a good look at that so they're not gonna live legitimate for once in my life so that what you see is what you get see because we've been so long to sleep that we don't even think that's true sometimes so we just judge ourselves by ourselves and we get tricked into following one another when our call is to follow him come on you can live higher than our own experiences or he 1 divided us into his kingdom he said follow me it is they follow how you feel follow what you think follow what your best friend thanks you said follow me and if it doesn't produce life and it doesn't produce righteousness and you better look at what you're following because you ain't following him and the biggest mistake we make is we say yeah but that was Jesus brother what is that that's the biggest cop-out on the planet this cop-out he said well that was Jesus no I think that that was Jesus stop making because he was Jesus the thing that made him special the reason he lived out waves cuz he's loved he didn't live that way cuz he's Jesus that was his name he lived that way cuz he's love you see all well that was Jesus no that was love and guess what the goal of our instruction is love and if he loved us this way are we not love one another so the whole purpose were on the planet is to love not be angry to love not to judge to love not bewildered discouraged and despairing to love not to fret and seek your own to love the whole reason you're on the planet is to love that's why everything else is so crazy and muddy when we live outside of that purpose that's why life is chaos for people and they don't even feel like it's worth living sometimes why because they're living it for what it has nothing to do with mercy he delights in mercy we've been singing that thing mercy woke us up thus morning does the life come from Gulf mercy woke us up this morning why give you one more day to be like him and then you know what men do without realizing and some men do it realizing it either way same fruit they live it for some other reason try get a little fix try to get it all try to get a little wonder if everybody in this room would you see you know what I'm done with all that the truth is he's coming back I'm gonna stand before him and I want to be able to be bold in that day like first John four says and have confidence in that day because as he is so have I been in this world that's gonna be a good day or you could be like that group that's going rocks would you fall off a it would be better than face that dude trees would you collapse on me strong enough to face the glory of his presence I ran from him when I could have followed him I ignored him when I heard him would you just kill me now that's what the Bible there's a damp darkness and gloom and men are gonna tread and terror and fear and want the elements to kill them so they don't have to stand before him when even after he kills them they'll still stand before him probably a lot better to just stand before him now and say thanks for loving me giving me purpose and transform in my life I'm done living for me I'm coming after you they says it's true one day I'm gonna stand before you and not because of heaven or hell but because of what you created in me me to be I'm laying it all down so you can fill me with who you are and what you desire thanks for this privilege cool and that would be pretty well that would be way better yeah so guess what the judge will just live by faith so faith is supposed to override sensuality the reason we live by faith and it's pleasing to God to live by faith because faith separates you from living by your feelings and emotions faith empowers you live by truth no matter how you feel people get mad at faith they say why is it oh it's gotta be about faith it's gif faith your faith is amazing because it separates you from living seneschal your whole life you're driven by emotions you wake up you just feel the way you felt two weeks ago and you know you had one of the worst days of the recent three months and you wake up and feel that same way and your first response is oh no another one of these days I don't know and the feeling that you wake up to already decide it your heart your day your life nothing to do with grace nothing to do with personal Holy Spirit nothing do with your communion with God just one little feeling at sunrise at daybreak at the sound of your alarm you open your eyes to a familiar feeling and you already sold out because you had that feeling before it was the worst day at best you call sister so-and-so to pray you through the feeling see just live by where do I do that feelings real that did it almost destroyed me three weeks ago yeah you sit up in your bed and you be honest Wow Lord man the way this thing feels when I woke up almost feels like I don't even want to get out of bed reading face work the last time I felt this way is a hard day I'm so thankful I'm learning and growing and there's nothing to do with how I'm feeling when I wake up you're in the and you're greater and you love me and I have purpose today and the truth is I'm getting out of this bed and this lights going shine and I'm gonna walk to that bathroom and here with me and you're in me and I'm going to clean up and freshen up and I'm gonna get to work and it's going to be awesome in you and after a little bit of communion with him and declaring truth and being in him you're gonna forget how you felt when you woke up and then ain't gonna be all about you and you won't even run the risk of feeling sorry for yourself or throwing that lonely party we've all attended where nobody else even wants to be like waving the little thing blown out two little candles celebrating me and my despair feel sorry for yourself is really really really really bad the trouble were feeling sorry for yourself and not addressing it is you'll surround yourself with people that feel sorry for you too and that could be a sorrier day then when you started feeling sorry for yourself because all they do is sympathize with you and your feet off of it and it's the highest grace you'll receive they'll call a Christian compassion but you'll never change are you listening see people that are hurt can't help people that are hurt you got nothing to give you'll give human sympathy empathy at best and you actually empower their condition you'll find out what they've been through and you agree cuz you relate and you call it compassion and you might even pray Oh Lord I pray you just bring your peace into this situation God would you comfort them and you sound like you're doing right but you're not you're not saying well let me ask you a question I I'm concerned why are you so broken up over what one person did I understand you said they were your friend but it looks like you're completely falling apart you've lost your identity you've lost your disposition you've lost your focus in life for did you ever even have what I'm talking about if you just relied on your friend and because right now you're in trouble you can't see past what they did it so I could pray for you all night but if you don't change that if you don't challenge that I pastor this way when spouses leave spouses in the middle of the night I passed her this way when spouses find out their spouses with somebody else's spouse in the middle of the night I've been in it more than you know because I feel like I have something to give them because usually they're broken and caught off guard and surprised it is painful and I wish nobody'd ever do that to people and it's not that I'm insensitive I'll cry with them but it won't be very long people think it's a joke I say I'll give you 20 seconds 30 seconds of genuine tears it's not a joke you'll see that I care and I wish they didn't make that decision but in a real quick moment I want to rescue you from becoming a product of what they did because you're tricked into this whole thing where it's just all about you and I can't believe they did that to me I don't know if I can even trust anybody anymore and see see I don't even know and whether it's the guy doing it to the girl the girl the guy it's the same lies then you surround yourself with your girlfriends or your guy friends and you're telling my buddy I'm nice in the trustor man I knew she was no good from the beginning why didn't you tell me I tried to do but well I know that I may not anymore and then you end up in church asking for prayer and holy and come on God peace me back together come on stop messed up I've been in homes when it's fresh when it's fresh when it just happens I've been in homes when it just happens and the kids are sleeping and don't even know but the spouse knows and you gotta walk in there and you gotta be sincere and and you show them that you care but you can't let what they did decide who they are even if they were spouse because the truth is you're no less anointed you're no less called you have no less purpose you have no less true healthy identity see there's a psychological Christianity out there and there's a lot of ministries that would strongly disagree with me and would leave you hurt broken and get real brother and get out of denial everybody would get hurt in that situation and it takes a long time to be restored brother you gotta face that well if that was true the cross and truth isn't as powerful as we sing our situations are then greater than truth because even truth can't make us free because people's actions are greater I don't believe that trash I don't want you to try to teach me anything that's going to keep me less than him I don't want you to try to sell me anything to protect my own that would cost me the expression of him please don't come and tell me that I have to live outside of him for a moment because of one person and what they did it listen if you're Latin what one person said or did decide your life your disposition and your destiny and their name isn't Jesus you're being deceived so what'd you do to the spouses you said look at me you hug them you cry it's for real you cry because you know you're gonna walk through this thing and you know the kids man the kids see you know it's gonna change some things for the kids if this thing don't turn around right quick so it's not like you're insensitive you're not ignoring all the factors you just don't want them to crash and burn because of one person's sin you don't want them to be putting all their chips on the faithfulness of a human being yes I know what I'm right in this thing cuz I pastored alone I'm not trying to be right I just know that's why I speak with confidence in the church at large in this room even coming in here to this service many of us sitting here have tended to believe the people closest to you have the ability to hurt you the most that's a common carried belief now I'm concerned because love they're the ones the ones closest us are the ones you say I love you to all the time but love doesn't seek its own and love doesn't take no account of the wrong that's been done to it so how can those people that are closest to you hurt you the most when you say I love you maybe what you're saying is I need you and you make my life work don't pull out on me or I'll crash you're my stability you're my everything you're my all in all I trust in you maybe our eyes are on something wrong because maybe there's only one that deserves that language come on and we think it's romantic all right baby I just can't live without you baby you just and I wouldn't even know and and if the girl wakes sharp she just look line and sinker now you have no idea how you moved me girl I ain't a man I've been around and I've been looking hey nobody like me know where I could just stop working that thing cause it ain't work are we all right or am i messing up okay why's this stuff work so good because we've been trained to live sensual our whole lives you've been trained and this is what this is what this whole sessions about is calling us to truth you and I have been trained to live sensual or whole life and God in His mercy has brought truth to the earth through his son and he says come on I need you to take this truth and live by faith to override the essential things and you're gonna come up here and be free and if you feel any other way keep strong truth in front of you and feelings keep fighting with keep strong with fire and don't you compromise and yell but and what if way it won't matter and God will still forgive and let it stop stop stop don't you follow the sensual side of your life at the expense of truth because it costs you more than you realize [Music] this is not a game it's not just oh well two people they come together happens all the time they in church I just love you I know I love you too well you know we sure well I know we should I feel yeah I know I feel house usually house and well you know we shouldn't ya know but God I'll still forgive is he ain't judgmental we ain't legal is right I mean God's mercy Jesus did shed his blood he knows the weakness for infirmity he Patrol well you know I really do let me pull come on just talking a little more than just talking yeah yeah yeah all them lines we could go for it but you get the point nothing condemning that I'm saying it's sobering its to call you out into the light and say wait a minute I'm never gonna let sensuality rise above the conviction of truth in my life and if it does I'm gonna realize it immediately and I'm not gonna run from him and get into now I'm gonna run to him so you think that some people think that strong or a brother that makes me uncomfortable you probably don't read your Bible that much because the Bible says stuff like this the Bible says who's wise is understanding among you he that has a microphone in white hair no it doesn't say them but doesn't say that that was a joke understanding among you who really knows what they're talking about let them prove it by the good conduct of their life that their works are done in the meekness of wisdom watch but if you have envy and self seeking in your heart don't boast and lie against the truth in other words don't act like you're still just keeping on moving forward and doing Church and all this stuff without wrecking and addressing and taking the thing before God and calling it unacceptable I am not only earth to be so sad it's just it's your well if you're wise you will never live that way you will not have self-seeking in your heart and boast and lie against the truth now you be honest with me if you're truly discouraged what is your focus and who's your attention on if you're truly discouraged what empowered you to be so discouraged who was your eyes on yourself what you went through how it affected you would it put you through what it caused what I got to do now because of it would you agree that most of us have been so familiar with this thing that we actually believe that true discouragement is a normal faucet of life that we're all going to go through it and the Bible says that's not true my man stood up here with you got the nicest mustache he stood up here man he started off with description where is he I know he's around I dare he is he read it it's it's Hebrews 12 3 he read it let's just consider him consider him who do we get our eyes on who's the author of our faith who's the finisher of our faith so if he started it it'll never finish without keeping your eyes fixed on him he started he'll finish keep your eyes on him right so consider him who endured such hostility against him self from sinners least you become weary and discouraged in your soul ain't that something cy said follow me because he patterned and modeled a life were created for and there's nothing you can see him asking of you in scripture that he didn't walk out in a body do you know when the earth men go to college and school and get a degree put on a white hat and there the foreman over people that have done the job in the trenches with their hands their whole life and they're their boss and they never did the job they just trained for it that makes people yell wearing the yellow hats really really disturbed when their boss never even got dirty never even picked up a hammer and they're telling them how to do their job because they have an education but they have an experience but see Jesus didn't come and preach at us and say not do it the word became flesh dwelt among us and said follow me I love that so he walked in forgiveness he walked in mercy he walked in love he made peace he hung on the cross when they were super super wrong and he stayed in righteousness and he didn't judge me said ever come on if that would have been any one of us we'd have snapped way before the cross you to snap them out of snap the first day we preached and they tried to push him off a cliff we'd have been debriefing and trying to revise our presentation first day freaks man people are fickle right he he comes out of the wilderness Spirit of God he opens up the scroll thus because you imagine what that was like Jesus coming out of the wilderness Spirit of God he says for the Spirit of the Lord is upon I mean this is the revelation himself talking like total authority it says every eye was fixed on him those people were like whoa dude he liked the Pharisee starts up with this guy this is every I was like well did you imagine him reading that scripture and he kept on talking and they started to look at each other and say hey is he talking about us he is he's talking about us it's as they perceived he was talking about them they were offended in the first moment they were like taken back whoa we're just fine even Bend the redemption house what is that the head all said wait a minute she talking about us yeah we will do about that Kelly Kelly that's a pretty radical response that's a pretty offended group of people how would you like that for your congregation on your debut of preaching be a breaker uh-huh yeah you get that for your congregation they were pretty intense with that stuff back in Zacharias an America whom you murder between the porch and the temple all the blood from the righteous blood with a blood of Zacharias son America whom you murdered he told the Pharisees that I looked the story up it was seven hundred years before how did they kill Zachariah when it was 700 years before because it's a spirit it's a mindset it's a heart if they'd have been there they'd kill him what happened to Zechariah cinnabar kaya why did they kill him because they were all at church they were all at the temple spirit of the Lord it says came upon him and he called him to the order for transformation and change and they killed him between the porch and the temple what they were saying is look pal just be glad we're at church don't be talking about no change and repentance and order see people are okay going to church God wants them to the order of repentance and when God called him to the order of repentance they just killed the speaker ain't that something so when you kill the speaker you do you change the truth so they killed Zakaria they killed Jesus they killed Stephen and they've killed so many more since more than we'll ever know really until that day that have lost their lives for him and the truth is the same and it will never go away so who is why isn't understanding among you let improve by the good Congress James 3:13 let him prove by the good combat with their life that the works are done in the meekness wisdom but if you have bitter and they stop seeking in your heart don't boast in lie against the truth this wisdom did not come from above its earthly sensual and demonic and where envy and self seeking exists every evil work is present that means you can stand in your bedroom and bind and rebuke the devil all day cuz you're hurt frustrated and mad blaming everything on him but taking no account of your heart and the attitude you're living in is the very invite and it's the reason he's so involved are you with me so I'm pretty much done I did it I just called you to a little something today I just said wonder if everybody in this room would make a strong decision and say preacher I'll listen to what you said today I'm going to take an account of my heart motives my life my responses I'm gonna get my eyes off everybody else I'm gonna take a good like look within and I'm gonna stop saying ovation the wolf they wonder why being different weather for seeing none of them I'm gonna be standing around you on that day and you ain't even gonna be able to think about saying you know Lord I believed if it wasn't for you won't even be able to think it let alone speak it so if you know that's true why would you let it work now if it ain't gonna work that you ain't even gonna be thumped because of the light of truth you're gonna go oops I let where one person wasn't decide where I was and I didn't even let the King of glory have a say I sang to him I listen the message is about him I hung around where he was but I didn't let him have the influence of my ways I'll let where somebody wasn't decide where I was don't you let that be your day it's good a man come and talk like this it's straight and sober cuz you can tell I ain't mad at you you don't feel beat up by me I'm too nice I like you too much that's why I'm saying what I'm sayin cuz you don't owe me nothing and I'm gonna get my car and drive home and life's gonna be good in God but wonder if you have it tomorrow just like you had it today you
