Gold Digger | Try Me | (Part 12) Jerry Flowers

hello once again it's that time it's that time is Tom time to make that change are y'all ready for part 12 of this tribe me series you guys are blowing my mind we are already over the 200000 view mark of this tribe e-series and i am just blown away by the feedback I'm blown away by the testimonies and you guys are showing off that that watch party that I was tagged in last weekend like five six people I know that y'all still social distant and stuff because I had your mask on but I'm just happy that you guys are watching I pray that you getting edify to know tonight I believe we have a word customized by heaven just for you now I've come with some tough love so I hope y'all ready are y'all ready so let's go ahead and get started the Gospel of Matthew Matthew chapter 5 verses 16 through 20 Matthew chapter 5 verses 16 through 20 it starts off Jesus says watch out somebody say watch out put all caps of their own watch out watch out for false prophets they come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ferocious wolves by their fruits you will recognize them do people pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles likewise every good tree bears good fruit but a bad tree Bears bad fruit a good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire thus by their fruit you will recognize that my laws of concern and where we're gonna Park pull over put a quarter in the meter for the time that we have together on tonight takes residence in verse fifteen watch out for false prophets they come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ferocious wolves father night my lips Oh God to be the PA system of heaven all the study means absolutely nothing if you aren't seen if you are magnified if we don't make much of you this is all done in vain so a pray know God that you give us wisdom that you join us for the time that we have together one tonight in Jesus name if you agree with that prayer would you drop drop aim and in the room not Amen but a Mont a mind a man all right listen we are in part 12 of our try-me series and i feel tonight it's just appropriate for us to talk around this thought from this subject gold-digger go digger if you don't know what a gold digger is it's somebody who only wants you because of what you have not because of who you are they're a gold digger let's let's have this whole topic on tonight be centered around try discernment the reason I feel is so necessary for us to have a conversation about discernment is because I feel as though my job on tonight is to help you stop listening to and falling in love with wolves stop listening to and falling in love with wolves I find it so ironic so ironic that we blame God for all of our tears but yet we never thank him for our smiles we blame God for all of our tears but yet we never thank him for our smiles it's it's this discernment deficiency this discernment deficiency that keeps us trapped in the merry-go-round this discernment deficiency that keeps us trapped in the merry-go-round of counterfeits of knockoffs of heartbreak I'm coming down somebody Street and I've only been up here about five minutes of fake individuals of heartache and headache and if we were to be honest the reason we can't see it is because of our desires it's almost as if our desires are blindfolding us to the reality that you're in love with the gold digger it's almost as if our desires are blindfolding us to the reality that you are surrounded by wolves this is not your boyfriend baby girl this is a wolf this is not a brother this is a wolf this is not a pastor oh boy this is not a pastor this is a wolf this is not your kinfolk on your rider die this is a wolf and the thing about wolves if you let them they were transition from a gold-digger to a soul digger they will dig up in your soul your passion your dreams your morals your commitment your faith and so now because we let them transition into a soul digger now I'm so crippled so crippled and I'm laying here handicapped I'm laying here with handicapped faith questioning God's love for me and it's due to this discernment deficiency this discernment deficiency that keeps having me mistaken God's red flags as a green light Keith must keep mistaken God's red flag as a green light and if we be honest for some of us it's not about misinformation it's about the lack of education because for the majority of my generation and also generations before us when we grew up in church we were told what not to do don't you shack up don't you have sex don't you go to the club don't you get high don't you do this don't you do this don't do this so we're giving us don't do list and we're not educated on what is the sermons and how do I have biblical discernment what does it mean to test the spirits and how do I be a fruit inspector how do I be a fruit inspector please hear me on tonight if you are not good and inspecting fruits if you are not good at being a fruit inspector you'll never be effective with being a heart protector you'll never be effective of being a heart protector if you're not a good fruit inspector and somebody may be listening to this Eli okay how do I become a fruit inspector without sampling it because if I'll be honest Jay the time I find out when it's bare fruit is after I bid it the only way I'll discover is bad is after I have taken a taste and I don't know who I'm speaking to but God is saying it's time for you to come out because I would have launched you forward it's time for you to come out because I want to launch you forward and I got to have you have discernment because the many doors will open before you and some of them won't be me every open door is not my doing and every closed door is not the devil's doing you got to have the sermon so you can know when it's me leading you versus when it's you leading you somebody say discernment God is launching you forward and a lot of us the reason we keep going back is because yes you're over the situation but you're not over the person you're over the situation but you're not over the person see Jesus shows us this skill with discernment with his life we talked about this early in the series Jesus spoke to thousands sent out 72 selected 12 but was vulnerable with three did you hear what I just said he had so much discernment where he knew how to manage his relationships he says okay i'ma speak to thousands i'ma send out 70 1272 i'ma select twelve but I'm only gonna be vulnerable with three when he went to the Mount of Transfiguration he didn't take the thousand with him he didn't take the seventy-two with him he took twelve with him but he had so much discernment that even then when he had to twelve he took three to the mountaintop and left nine in the valley my question for you on tonight is can you discern your mountaintop ones from your valley ones who preach holy ghosts can you discern your mountaintop ones from your valley ones because if you can't discern your valley ones you end up being vulnerable with Judas the betrayer and not your John the beloved you have to be able to understand this because listen sometimes it's not that the valley ones are bad people is that they're misplaced people it's not that they're bad people they're misplaced you're trying to make one of the nine come on the mountaintop and if you don't understand this skill and you don't have this discernment you end up being vulnerable with the wrong one so much so so their friend with the ear in one season will become the enemy with the the next season somebody say discernment they're not going to use your issue as a prop as a prayer project they're gonna use it as ammunition and blackmail I have to have discernment and the devil knows if I can allow them to be so wounded by a wolf if I can allow them to be so wounded by what their Judas killed because they mistake their Judas for their charm they'll never have a heart that expresses they'll never have a heart that shares their struggles the Word says confess your faults one to another and you shall be healed some of us have confessed our faults to a wolf and now we're saying I'm not talking no more and the problem is you didn't have discernment you you confided in a wolf and not a shepherd y'all ready for this one more time somebody say discernment needed discernment is God's Way of calling us into intercession needed discernment when you ever approach something and you need some discernment that's God's Way of saying you not gonna get no clarity without talking to me you're not gonna figure this one out without talking to me yep you not gonna know what to do without talking to me God many times puts us in situations when you have to pray you have to pray because discernment removes presentation I'm preaching on tonight discernment removes presentation because I don't know if y'all discovered it but many times people come to us wearing masks and discernment will help you identify they're wearing a mask and who they're presenting themselves to be is not who they really are you will have to pray ma'am you will have to pray sir because prayerlessness is arrogance prayerlessness is arrogance it's saying I don't need you God I don't need your advice I don't need your hand I don't need you to invade I don't need you to interrupt I got this on my own prayerlessness it's arrogance and you best believe that prayerlessness is tied to pain who if you want to have a life filled with pain don't pray don't seek God first before you make a decision don't seek God first before you go on that date don't seek God first before you marry them if you want to experience pain live a prayerless life the man who does not pray is arrogant and the woman who does not pray is arrogance God says listen I need you to have some discernment so I believe you I'd be like why you coming out so hard it's because so many people are wounded because they can't discern right and this is an area that's being under taught in church we are not necessarily teaching people how to discern because many Shepherds don't want you to discern that they're not a shepherd they're wolf so I don't touch on discernment I don't tell you to test the spirits I don't tell you to understand how to identify and inspect fruit because if you learn that skill you might discover I'm not who I present myself to be all right so they're three C's to discernment everybody say three C the first one is clear direction cloudy direction and confirm direction okay clear direction cloudy direction and confirm direction all right clear direction is the only one when you don't have to pray for clear direction is when this is clearly sin you don't have to pray and say gosh not sleep with this man's wife I want to know if it be your will if I should Rob them God is it your will that I live you this is a clear direction you don't have to see God you don't have to pray and fast about this this is a clear sign don't go this way for you to go this route you have to turn down the volume of your holiness for you to go this route you have to crank up the volume of your flesh and turn down the volume of the Spirit this is the only way you can go this route and it's clear that this is not God's will okay now for somebody who may be a new convert and you're like okay I still kind of need some more clarity clearer direction this is when you get engaged in fruit inspection all right so how do you fruit inspect the Bible lets us know Galatians chapter 5 verse 22 check this out Galatians chapter 5 verse 22 it says but the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace long-suffering kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control against such there is no law so how do you be if how are you an effective fruit inspector it's when you ask yourself this question if I go this route does it increase my self-control if I hang out with him if I hang out with her does it increase my gentleness if I hang out with this individual and all the stuff that they say and do I see any patience in them do I see any long-suffering in them do I see any love in them this is how you inspect fruit do I see anything right here on this list that they possess and if they don't this is how you identify bad fruit somebody say clear direction point number 2 cloudy direction who have y'all ever been there cloudy direction is when you at this crossroad would you like I don't know if this is me or I don't know if this is the devil I don't know if this is God I don't know if this is my preference I can't see beyond this and I don't know which choice is Kingdom and which choice is flesh I don't know what choice to make cloudy to cloudy discernment is when God is calling you too fast this is so good y'all cloudy discernment when you are at a crossroad and you don't know to go left you don't know to go right you don't know to engage or you don't know to dismiss you don't know to pursue or you don't know to retreat it is cloudy judgment and it is God's Way of saying I need you to fast I need you to turn down the volume of all the noise turn off the TV let's stop listening to music unless it's worship let's stop you know engaging in social media let's turn all of that off right now I need silence so that you could hear me see the beauty of being close to God he doesn't yell because you're close to him I don't have to yell if I'm right in your face I don't have to yell if we're close and he's saying look if you ever in a place when you don't know what to do you don't know what decision to make he say okay you're in a situation when you have cloudy judgment it's time for you to fast now depending on what the situation is determines how great the fast so if you have a friend that says hey I want to go on business with you you may need a fast maybe two three days to make sure that this is God's will something simple I could probably do a Daniel fast but if you got a brother that likes you and he's talking about marrying you you might want to go on a two-week fast a three-week fast could be four weeks because I got to be able to see is this God or is this sleep anytime where the crossroad with cloudy discernment God is saying fast now this bleeds into a third seat the confirmed direction okay so how you like how do I get confirmation the beauty of confirmation is confirmation has it to where when you face tragedy when you face loss when it gets difficult when it gets hard you'll never give up because you've been confirmed to do this this is why I can never go to an altar and say I do to anything unless I got confirmed because come hell or high water I'm confirmed Tanisha is my wife and so I never questioned my spouse because I have confirmation if you start a ministry and you know that this is what God told you to do and nobody's showing up for the first few months you don't give up because you will confirmed that this is what God told you to do I can't speak for anybody else but I want to be a man who lives in confirmation so you're saying okay okay Jay how do I know if this is confirmed how do I know what confirmation looks like point number one it complements the Word of God confirmation always complements the Word of God he is never going to assign you to do something that goes against what his scriptures tell us to do it complements the Word of God number two this is so good confirmation comes with an unexplainable flow unexplainable flow when it's you is forced but when it's God it flows there's just unexplainable favor what if I told you God wants you to live in the flow he wants you to live in the flow of grace he wants you to live in the flow of your anointing he wants you to live in the flow of your giftedness he to live in the flow of your assignment he wants you to live in the flow of love it's all about the flow the flow unexplainable flow you can't even hardly describe it it's just crazy I'm talking about a flow that is just Craig Craig give you example my wife and I before we got married and she got confirmed she was like okay this is the man that God wants me to be with for the rest of my life she quit her job that's a huge move she says okay I'm gonna leave Oklahoma City I'm gonna quit my job and I'm gonna move down to Houston Texas and I'm gonna marry you baby girl you better get some confirmation you messing with your income see how this is a dangerous thing about not having discernment how you gonna let him bring down your beliefs and your credit she's like listen I gotta be confirmed I gotta be confirmed in fact while we were dating there was a time she said no call me no mo your mouthpiece too smooth I don't care that you talking about she love Jesus don't call me no more because I don't know who sent you it's really what she told me she said I don't know if you came from the devil or if you came from God I'm like surely I'm not the devil she's like well surely the devil would say that she said I need you to get out my ear sir because I need to get some confirmation and when she got that confirmation she quit her job two weeks before our wedding she came down here got a job interview and before she even left the parking lot they called her back and said you got hired she got hired to do the same thing getting more money and five minutes away from our house a flow a flow okay everybody say flow all right another sign of confirmed direction is reoccurring confirmation reoccurring out of the out of the mouth of two or three witnesses it just keeps coming back you just keep having people tell you girl where you gonna write that book when you gonna write that book when you gonna write that book what are you gonna write that book oh you should write a book when you gonna write that book bro what you gonna do that podcast bro you need to do a video where are we gonna do that podcast bro if you release that bro when you go when you go when you go when you go constantly keep hearing this reoccurring of Confirmation constantly it's just go keep coming back it could be from a post it could be from a parents it can be from a loved one just gonna keep hearing it when you go when you go you should have you tried when you go when you go you should you haven't yet it's as constant reoccurring confirmation it's because God is relentless any saying this is your gift it says your oil this is your sweet spot this is your gift this is your oil this is your sweet spot this is your gift this is your oil this is your sweet spot and this is the sign that God is confirming you I'm gonna breathe on this if you take this risk and step out on faith reoccurring confirmation last one might confuse you but you want to know how you got confirmation resistance opposition no opposition usually no confirmation the devil doesn't bother those that are his listen to what I just said the enemy does not bother those that are on his turf so you have no problems you've got really got no struggles you cool with everybody everybody in your clique is cool you really don't have a lot of issues but as soon as you become saved as soon as you say you know what i'ma live like clean clean like so fresh and so clean clean like I'm really really gonna live this thing I'm afraid I'm gonna start seeking God i'ma have morning prayer I have a devoted life once you really started doing that just stuff starts popping off people start calling you all types of stuff you begin to get misjudged and mislabel and some of your day ones begin to turn on you it's because when you're going upstream the current is stronger so you're going to experience resistance the devil's not gonna let you anoint itself leave his turf and tell everybody he was wrong now y'all all looked at Jesus without him fighting you resistance resistance if one of the most powerful weapons if one of the most powerful skill sets for the Christian is to be able to hear God then this must mean that the warfare strategy of hell is going to be to make sure that you and I can't voices did you hear what I just said if one of our most powerful weapons if the huge advantage for the Christian is that we could hear the creator of all things this must mean that the warfare strategy of hell is going to be I want to make sure that you can't discern voices it's a war move Capra with intelligence cut off communication I don't want them to be able to hear orders from headquarters that's good I don't want them to be able to hear orders from headquarters because if they can't hear right they won't walk right they won't think right they'll marry the wrong person they're entertained the wrong people they'll go on the wrong mission they'll go the wrong direction because they don't hear their assignment I want to make sure that they cannot hear and my greatest concern for the church is we've been taught how to shout we've been taught how to dance nothing's wrong with having celebratory moments but after a while I need to be biblically biblically educated educate me on how to distinguish how do i distinguish a devil from the divine how do i distinguish a shepherd from a wolf how do i distinguish god's path from my path help me learn how to distinguish because if I don't have this sermon I'm gonna have heartache and if I have a heartache coming out of a heart that doesn't fit and I can't love people and I can't see people through pure eyes blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God I won't be able to see things through a god direction because my heart is so wounded from entertaining wolves I need to CERN MIT I got to understand the necessity of prayer I got to understand the necessity of a devotion life please hear me because the man is no greater than his level of devotion preach Holy Ghost a man is no greater than his level of devotion because if I don't know the voice of God an intercession I won't know the voice of God in introspection y'all hear what I just said if I don't know the voice of God in intercession I won't know the voice of God in introspection and whenever a people go untaught in area self-diagnosis is imminent and so we'll be trying to teach ourselves what we think God sounds like and we'll try to teach ourselves how to discern and we'll try to teach ourselves how to live holy I got to understand if I don't you're right I can't live right and bad doctrine creates bad living bad doctrine gives wrong directions and wrong directions lead you to wrong destinations I'm trying to help somebody on tonight I don't need you to just preach to me about how to enhance my giving preach to me about how to enhance my spiritual signal because every time I get further away from my divine router the slower my spiritual strength is y'all miss what I just said y'all miss what I just said I'm gonna say it one more time the further I get away from my divine router the slower my internal strength is and so now I'm trying to hop on everybody else's connection because I don't have my own personal hotspot I don't have my own personal hotspot so no wonder you keep entertaining wolfs it's because you don't have service you don't have service that you're trying to hop on everybody else's connection because you don't have your own connection this this this is one of the reasons I think we keep getting disappointed because we keep putting God weight on mere men they said they were gonna leave me they said they would always be be there for me they said they were they were gonna be my day once that's God wait God said he'll never leave you nor forsake you he's the one down stick closer like a brother he's the one they'll be there with you through thick and thin we keep putting God weight on mere men and this is how we get disappointed because we keep appointing and attribute to a person and when they did sit now we're disappointed this is good and anytime we don't hear a forward sound we'll always revert back to familiar chaos we'll always revert back to Philly okay familial chaos and guys I listen stop trying to find comfort outside of obedience stop sending me an invitation in a relationship that I told you not to get in in the first place I need you to have discernment enough to let things go so that I can let you go this is so good y'all God wants to upgrade you can I get somebody say upgrade before this whole corona kind of like changed our world as we know it I was up at the office one day my mom comes in and she says hey I need you to ride me into the Verizon store I don't know why I just decided to ride with her if she would explain this to me I could have saved her some time we get to the Verizon store she takes up her iPad and she tells the Verizon tech person says hey I need to buy a new iPad my iPad didn't work I can't upgrade and so I'm just sitting there with my millennial self like what do you mean you can't upgrade she's like Jerry I'm talking to the professional okay and he's like man is you don't necessarily need a new iPad the reason you can't upgrade is because you don't have enough space so if you delete some stuff then you can have enough space and then after you delete our recommend a reset I'm sitting there just shaking my head like I'm in a Baptist Church back in 1987 looking at a preacher's tandem the paint off the wall preaching and the Verizon workers probably looking at me crazy I'm like you just preach the whole word you just preach the whole word a lot of us can't upgrade because we don't have enough space we don't have enough space for God and God is saying if you delete that gossip if you delete that relationship if you delete that clap back spirit if you delete that penny like we said on Thursday what is in the carry-on of your soul that God is saying you can't fly with that I'm ready to upgrade you but you got to delete that and then he also reminded me that we serve the God of a reset we serve the God of a reset we serve the type of God I don't care what you did just come home he's that type of God he's the type of guy that can reset your mind he can reset your purity he can reset your marriage he can reset your children he can reset your finances he can reset your discipline but you got to trust me you got to surrender to me I'm ready to reset but are you willing to delete old files somebody say discernment okay so I want us to get this the service is tied to spiritual maturity okay discernment is tied to spiritual maturity and spiritual maturity is tied to devotion say it again discernment is tied to spiritual maturity and spiritual maturity is tied to devotion I can say it backwards no devotion no spiritual maturity no spiritual maturity no discernment the reason I can't discern is because I'm not spiritually mature and the reason I'm not spiritually mature is because I don't have a devoted life I have no devotion see I want you to get this I'm gonna take this a little further my son and my daughter have two different levels of maturity okay so if I see a big dog walking down the street or a stranger walking down the street I'm gonna reach out I'm going to reach out and grab my son's hand and then when I grab his hand is like Daddy let me go out with a walk then let me go no let me go with a walk he has not arrived to the place of maturity to recognize my hand is not prevention is protection holding the father's hand is not preventing you son is protecting you son but my daughter is a little bit different if we're walking down the street and she sees a big dog and she sees a stranger she says daddy hold my hands because she recognizes that the safest place to be is in the hand of her daddy and as long as daddy got me I'm good as long as daddy got me I'm straight but look at this she has learned to be mature and she could discern if something is coming that's dangerous I know my daddy got me and something that's coming that could hurt me I know my daddy got me that takes maturity so she has mature to the degree if I see danger I want daddy to hold my hair I'm gonna save him further right now if somebody would a wave a lollipop and my three-year-old son here probably taking I told his boy so many time we don't take candies from strangers but he'd probably take it if somebody wave a lollipop and my five-year-old daughter she'll say no thank you I don't take candy from strangers say you better tell them girl daddy didn't talk to you right here's a question for you are you taking candy from strangers are you taking candy from strangers because that shows the lack of maturity because toddlers will always choose candy over calling when you are baby you will always choose was sweet over was spiritually effective maybe I can't discern because I'm spiritually immature so what is discernment I believe there's common discernment and spiritual discernment common discernment is the ability to see through a thing y'all have been having a conversation with somebody could tell they lyin like they're like interrogators they don't know God they now feel with no type of Holy Ghost but they could tell when somebody's lying even without a lie detector they had so much skill that they could discern and see through a liar right common discernment is when I can see through a thing spiritual discernment is what I can see behind the thing yeah this is good this one I could see beyond the thing this means I could see who's behind it Jesus models this all day when Simon Says look you ain't going to Calvary you're not going across you're not gonna die and he says what get thee behind me Satan he had enough spiritual discernment to see beyond Peter when you are spiritually discerning you're able to see beyond the presentation it's as good and I think sometimes we just gotta observe you want to increase your discernment just observe get on your little red riding-hood my my mind what big teeth you have my my mind what big feet you have you don't need to be that deep just start getting on your red riding-hood and you can see this is possibly a wolf but you have to make sure that you don't want it so bad and you of desire so bad and you don't crave it so bad that you are willing to overlook things because you want the promotion somebody say discernment I need to be able to discern between the wolf and me you know the danger of a fatal attraction is not always you being liked by somebody that's crazy sometimes a fatal attraction is us liking what's killing us yeah that's a fatal attraction don't believe what the movies and told you a fail attraction is when you like them but they kill in your prayer life a fatal attraction is when she's fine but she's venomous and yes I said she because every single time we search on about counterfeits and distractions people always think it's a man don't y'all make me get on my Lauryn Hill up here guys you know you better watch out some girls some girls only don't make me start up in here girls are trifling - I need have discernment yes it could give me more money but it's killing my parental time and so I'm not there for my children I gotta have discernment because just because there's more money doesn't mean it's good money one more time somebody say discernment so what is a wolf a wolf we see biblically is a pursuer of sheep okay Wolf's pursuit anything that represents possesses stands for our extends godlike attributes that is what a wolf is after after if it represents if it possesses if it stands for or if extends anything godlike that is what a wolf is after so now we have to ask ourselves okay am i a sheep because if you are sheep or wolves after you the reason we can't discern wolves from sheep is because Wolf's always come dressed like sheep like their favorite website is sheep clothing calm I don't even know if that's a real website if it is and somebody you know works there watching this know no shade I'm just using this for the material okay they shop at sheep clothing dot-com because they don't want you to see they really are alright so what is a sheep a sheep is anyone who follows who hears who discerns and who submits to correction Jesus says it this way my sheep know my voice and they follow me sheep are able to discern you making the sound for me to come to you but you're not my shepherd what is a wolf a wolf is anybody who affects your following ability they always make you think you'll need them you don't need to hang with them you don't need that community do your own thing Wolf's always affect your ability to follow second thing a wolf affects your hearing ability they are like noise cancellation headphones to your spirit man to where you can't hear right third wolf's affect your discernment ability okay Wolf's will always come with confusion they will always come with confusion God is not the author of confusion if you want to break down the word confused it preaches in itself the word con means to deceive okay and there's several layers of fuse so if I were to confuse think of fuse joining together it is deception joined together this is why you're confused because you're entertaining somebody who's bringing forth confusion and they are bringing deception joined together second definition of confused is like a fuse for a bomb or a firecracker they are deceiving you and causing things to explode in your face the third type of fuse is like for a circuit breaker the job of a fuse in a circuit breaker is to stop fires so anytime somebody comes in your life that leads confusion is to stop your spiritual fire he doesn't want you to burn for God he doesn't want you to burn in prayer he doesn't want you to burn in fat in fasting he wants you to burn in your flesh but not for the Word of God somebody say confused I'm rushing because I got so much time to it last thing so what are my discernment blockers sin desires untreated pain and third party influences this is what blocks me from being able to discern sin in my life my desires that are similar to God's desires untreated pain because like we said last week the devil knows that pain becomes your personality if it's untreated and third-party influences this is anybody who continues to try to talk you out of what God has talked you into so I hear all this how do I get to a place well I'm not entertaining the gold digger and I have the sermon point number one desire maturity you should not be able to just continue to say this God I ain't doing me in God I ain't doing me yet after a while you should get tired of that don't be the Christian that just wants to pass try to get on the honor roll like you're not shooting that getting a 70 you trying to get an A+ I'm trying to graduate desire your maturity so therefore if I desire maturity I'm gonna have to hang around spiritual mature people I'm not gonna get mature hanging around immature people desire maturity point number to develop dependency and this era of everybody being independent God wants you to depend on him this means I need you to feed nurture educate rest feed nurture educate rest feed nurture educate rest feed nurture educate rest feed your spirit educate your spirit feed your spirit educate your spirit nurture your spirit and rest stop always thinking you can control outcomes trust that God is in control and I point three four or five is pray pray pray pray pray pray you want to grow you want to discern I got a desire maturity I got to develop dependence and then I got to
