to do well and stuff and they're working hard and desperate things and I said yeah I think you I think you're kind of missing it let me share with you how I think this thing works in Titus the second chapter verse 11 verses 11 and 12 Titus 2:11 and 12 popped those up there can you find it maybe you can't Titus you get two acts and you take it right one of the last books of the Bible Way it in there you go there it went Titus 2:11 11 dead 6 there's 11 okay for the grace of God has appeared that off for salvation all praise God right the grace of God has appeared what does this grace do it teaches us to do what say no everybody say no say no say no it says no to ungodliness and worldly passions I supposed to deal with your worldly passions you just say no you just say no no there's the problem lot of guys think well you know I pray Lord take this feeling from me he's gonna see the feeling from you don't wait gets rid of that feeling he kills you then you got no feelings anymore it's called the flash you got to deal with it do we die praise God we die the want to is always do you think I struggle I try to get rid of the want to you're focusing in the wrong place does not get rid of the want to we all want to we're men naked ladies men we want to you know I get it but just cuz we watch it I mean we got to do it you don't have to do what you feel that's the key you know when I feel it so what we all feel it doesn't mean jack you don't got to do it the devil has to convince people if you feel it you got to do it see they get in church they don't feel it never they feel victorious right now I'm good I'm good man I'm good I don't feel it at some point gonna be all by yourself and you're gonna start to feel it what does it mean nothing it means nothing you don't have to do it you don't have to do it you know and this whole thing of feelings has been just destructive to the male culture they've been trying to turn men into women for 40 years we're trying to get in touch with our feelings feelings fuse and women think this is a great plan it's a terrible plan cuz they don't understand men feel very bad things we do you don't want a man go with how he feels they don't get it because they feel nice things you know get a bunch of ladies going to a dirty Mona's clothes clean this place up I have never been with a bunch of guys walked into her dirty room and somebody said someone got a broom now we get out of their way for the women show up well don't feel like it women don't get this when a man gets angry we feel like punching you in the face yes we not do that you say no to that guys he's a pretty girl he feels like go Bessie not do that I wanted a skirt Rafi all kinds of terrible stuff all the time oh the tops called the flesh oh it's known as always grab it a show that I really I feel like it helped yeah you can put that little porn gnomes that drag you out of your bed force you to look at stuff does it feel it doesn't mean it you got to learn it doesn't mean anything when you feel that you just look at it go no I can't do it sure you can so that we cut off one of your fingers every time you look at porn I bet you stop [Applause] right I'm pretty I'm pretty sure you know I mean some of you might only have three or four fingers left but at some point that point you gonna stop well I'm addicted you just around the church on the hell I know we're try to be gracious and merciful but I don't want to make people feel bad it's at the point going around saying well you know oh we don't got to do that stuff just learn to say no so I feel it yeah we all feel it anyway that was the cap from this morning I want to wrap up with a very simple message is for the men discovering your purpose second sanma versus X second Samuel 23 chapter 23 now these verse 1 these are the last words of David that's power right there these are the last words of David the inspired utterance of David son of Jesse the utterance of the man exalted by the Most High the man anointed by the God of Jacob the hero of Israel song he says the Spirit of the Lord spoke through me and his word was on my tongue it's very fascinating we think of David and in terms that is I mean he was a prophet he was a great man of God he was a prophet there's some of those amazing prophecies concerning the Messiah came out of David's mouth in his Psalms it's stunning he was a prophet he was a minstrel a musician he was a king but that's not what he spent most of his time doing most of the time he was a warrior he killed people he was really good at it seriously government I don't think the man had any idea how many people he killed where he killed 200 guys just to marry the chick he killed David killing everybody I just kill kill kill he had no fear him and his buddies were just fearless fearless were these people you read about the three guys that overheard David say man I wish I knew where'd you get a drink out of Bethlehem as well and then the Philistines had it all surrounded well the three guys said well let's go get him a drink so the Bible says they broke through the lines I don't think it was like excuse me [Laughter] you break they're trying to stop you these three guys bust through the lies they wouldn't get a drink now they got a busted way back out of here who are these guys these are serious butt kickers I wish they would do an accurate movie of David they have never done one you know one it was Richard Gere come on David it should've been honest warts there I am David I will kill you all that would be David somebody you know John called bender somebody good night but despite what he did all the time he did that's not what defines him we have the mistake often times a man letting what we do define us and we get obsessed about what we should do everybody gets really caught up in the trying to discover the will of God we need to discover the will of God what should they do for a living what should I do for a living do you know that when it comes to what you do for a living the Bible doesn't seem to be all that interested it's stunning the reason why people struggle with so much because by enlarge God don't care go bud now seriously let's take a look at the Bible let's back up the sound of the first First Samuel chapter 10 verse 6 now this is when Samuel first anointed Saul as king remember Saul was the first King then came David well Saul is the ninety King and he doesn't know what's going on Jesus this guy comes with just one ointments came the first King they didn't have a kid listen this prophet comes noisy King and said wow what's going on and sam says this to him that the Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you and he will prophesy with him talk about these prophets and he will be changed into a different person but that was just one of the sand there are several signs miraculous signs and this is once these signs are filled fulfilled I'm gonna tell you what God wants you to do do whatever everybody say whatever do whatever your hand finds to do God's with you now he starts out in a blaze of glory miraculous stuff and then he must start out in a blaze of glory God building our faith getting a strong don't kind of freeze well Lord what's next whatever do something find something to do he does not need to tell you every little thing you need to do if it's just a mythical to faith if he tells you everything to do there's no faith involved I mean seriously and then to what credit is that I have a son now if I had to call my son as much as I feel get up get up did you go poop did you go poop today did you change your underwear fell did you change your underwear is that a glory to me as a father they be horrible now there was a time I had to do that there's the time I had to do that was a little boy but what's the glory to me is I don't got to tell him what to do I hear me what brings me go I don't have to tell what to do cuz I've already put that in him he understands well most to do today dad whatever fine whatever your hand finds to do do it huh Solomon Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 9 now Solomon at this point in his life is depressed he is about as depressed as a man can get he has had everything everything he could imagine he had because he was so successful he was the wisest man ever can you imagine having politicians that always knew the perfect thing to do neither can i Emmet but that's that's what this guy had prospered like in he got paid annually in tons of gold tons you talk about a run on the stock market I mean these guys were making out like bandits because they always knew the right thing to do the guy had a thousand women who does that what narcissists insane person what's a thousand of them oh Lord I can barely handle the one fi you could 300 wise right I'm seven hundred concubines they were just you know filling in the gaps good lord you'd have to have a different ones three times a day three times a day before you get them all in the Year Command had to be exhausted or very happy I'm not sure but he just bummed out life is just awful for him so he says this guy's and just Justin Lord enjoy life with your wife that you love because all the days of this meaningless life under the Sun all your meaningless days life sucks enjoy your wife life sucks this is your lot in life your toys some labor in the Sun says and then it's wisest man who ever lived told you what you should do with your life whatever everybody said whatever smartest man ever lived if you sat down that something I wish I do with my life you know he's gonna tell you whatever whatever your aunt finds to do do it do with all your might from the realm of the Dead where you're going in other words life sucks and you're gonna die have a nice life this is what he's saying love your wife just do whatever my brother asks the Old Testaments New Testaments much more spiritual than that I mean God has more details for us yeah that's right Colossians 3 verse 17 he's gonna tell us what you should be doing with your life you didn't know this I'm sure you have what God wants you to do and whatever everybody say whatever whoa there's a revelation whatever you do it's like they don't care that God doesn't really care that much I'm not rocking your roll but just hang with me whatever you do in word or deed do it with all in the name of the Lord gift thanks to God the Father through him but then he gets much more spiritual because in verse 23 he says whatever everybody whatever whatever you do apparently they weren't really all that concerned about it whatever you do work at it with all your heart why should I do I don't know whatever what are you good at just do something five something dude good way for the Lord to tell me what to do see a lot of people they don't get involved in church and so we forgot to say I want to do you said on their butts do nothing deliver the Lord and tell me what to do really you slacker just can do whatever well which one whatever you can find I tell people in my church if you're not sure what to do find the thing that you hate the most and do that whatever in the church just totally repulses you you should sign up tomorrow I'll do that because nobody else wants to do it first Corinthians 10th after verse 31 so whether you either drink or whatever I would say whatever what should i do God whatever whatever you do do it all for the glory of God look this idea of begging and crying to discover the will of God for your life I know it's your nas raise oldtime Pentecost as we did every day it's a pray God shows what you want me to do that but it's just not very difficult you don't see people doing that in the Bible you'd have people who were in trouble and didn't know what to do then they would seek the Lord's face but for what what to do that nobody did that they just did whatever it makes no sense to say that we have to beg and fast and pray for God to tell us what to do it's God's will every time God wanted somebody to do it he told them sometimes they don't want to hear it here's some the Lord would appear go do this they go do it God tell peterward Italy tell what ago sometimes the Apostles had direct direct direction on what to do most of time they had not nun this one did it what they do whatever well what God wants him to do something different he tells them it makes no sense it's God's will if he wants you to do it why would he remain silent it makes no sense jesus said this in Matthew 7:11 7 he's talking to you says if you then though you are evil because a word of encouragement if you know how to give good gifts to your children how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask it let me ask you you father's if you want your kid to do something do you tell them or do you wait for them to seek your face Oh dad Oh dad I know you're busy dad right now please father please tell me daddy what do you want me to do today do you have to do that no what do you do you tell him if you be evil know how to be clear with your own why would God hide his specific will for you say well God isn't hasn't told me anything well then just do whatever apparently it's not that big a deal there what if God is more interested in who we are and what kind of person we are and what we do don't let what you do define you you might be a Vista doesn't mean that's what you are David was a warrior but very rarely is he defined as a warrior in the scripture he's defined as a prophet it's a great king but he did did not define him sometimes you ask the water you asked women what do you we what are you God well I'm a mom okay but what happens when the kids are grown up this happens all the time he's women to get all depressed cuz the kids are growing up empty nesters he had all depressed I think man I wasn't depressed I was like thank you Jesus move along little birdie fly way pews capacitor you upset that your kids have moved away are you crazy it took 18 years I was hoping they'd lower it to 14 go get on with it I'm a businessman well what happens if you lose your business what happens if you do it your job but if the company fails and there's guys that won something that happens in there they lost their identity disappears they don't let what you do define you and we got a lot of young men here you know don't and and and this part of your life you're focused on what I do is my nights which I do is a big question I get but the chances of you accurately figuring out what you should be doing with your life at this point is extremely low very few people figure out what they're gonna be doing in their early 20s how many of you were doing something totally different than what you're doing now you geezers out there almost every hand we all started out doing we're convinced was it only find Adam why are we doing D do you know that only 27% of college graduates actually use their degrees in their employment 27% of 30 60% don't even use the goofy thing I don't know about Canada I don't know your educational system works ours is all jacked up in America and it costs all kinds of money to go to college and I mean took really nice like 30 40 grand a year and these kids go out and they get all these student loans so by the time they graduate from school they're walking away with like 125 thousand dollars in debt it's a racket it's an absolute racket you know who pushes it the educational system because they want all their money you got to go to college you got to go to Carl my kids you got to go to college if you want to operate on people's brains you probably should go to college I mean a dr. Lurie why don't you yeah I don't got you what you want to be a pilot you want to fly airplanes but then go to college first why because the system convinces you go to college typer $36,000 a year for four years so can fly airplanes you don't need all the fine airplane by the way pilots want you to believe that what they do is very complicated it's not it's really not that complicated but we like it that you think that God for that kind of stuff so these guys have spent all this money getting their degrees and everything else and focusing and working and then only 27 percent actually use it in their employment by the way you young people and old ones too I know what you want to do with your life don't follow your heart we're taught to follow your heart brother even though even the world the world says follow your heart you know you watched American Idol you ever see the show it's highly entertaining in the beginning when all the terrible people are singing I love that part it's awesome they're so bad and then they get rejected and they get mad and they say my friends think I'm great nothing man you need new friends because you are terrible and they start my hungry to follow my heart there's such bad advice great successful people always say they followed their hearts but it's just because they're just happened to work out but I promise you you know you should follow your opportunities following opportunities what doors has got open for you look for that there's young men women who miss and Chuck down and escape and shoot walk away from the opportunities because they're following their heart an accomplished nothing and when doors open out man walk through the door if you go I said pass huh how did God speak here to do what you're doing today I get that question a lot how did God speak he didn't I wish he did barely I'm not that spiritual the way God leads me is he closes every door and window in the house opens one door and then lights the house on fire and then I feel that because it's the only door left because I how'd you get involved working with couples I don't know I was Church one day in a staff meeting and I was an assistant pastor passions going crazy dealing with couples cuz they were slowly sucked the life out of you he's his man who here wants to work with couples nobody raised their hand I will that's how I started were you educated in this nope do you know what you're doing oh no I had no idea man you came to see me in the beginning you were doomed I'm serious 80% of the people I talked to ended up in divorce it was bad can you imagine going to a doctor or 80% of the people come out dead this is a bad day so I kept just looking for answers looking for answers and for answers I started finding I thought you know just this feeling that's as hard as hard I was telling pastors today at loves you marriage problems are these problems in the world to fix they really are personal problems that's very complicated but mayor's probably the most disliked misdiagnosed problem in the country because someone else say I got it from lady two days ago my husband's an attic and then we need marriage counseling oh you don't you have a marriage promise a personal problem that's complicated so it was an addict someone's been sexually abused in their past someone's got all these issues anger issues screaming yelling I'm German I got outlet my wife was German heritage German is she scared me my redheads firing already cut some national asset German he's probably these people tried to take over the world do time don't mess with that man so anyway so I start doing these seminars and and at first I was awful at that but then I started finding out you know this isn't really that complicated and just made it fun people one day the pastor is walking with me in in in the fourth to the fours just during worked in him but he's there and he's a gunner he should take this on the road I said who'd wanna come listen to me I'll never forget he stopped look at me so hunger you ever been to a marriage seminar I say yeah he says what was it like it was all horrible he said that's why they'll come and he started pushing me to do it the same time you push me out the door the church I go start another church fine little birdie fly went to Stevens Point Wisconsin or told you to come to see me before I didn't come because the Lord told me his gonna head and I was trying to find something else and get out of it I was looking desperately surely the lord has a better plan for me and Stevens Point Wisconsin is like Moose Jaw man I think there's got to be a bigger city somewhere that needs me apparently not so I go there and I'm doing these marriage seminars and it's just you know it's not oh you work at something it just seems like it just doesn't work couldn't get anybody to come to these things you know I'm I'm gonna quit I'm not gonna I'm just gonna focus on the church I'm not gonna do this anymore and and we got three more summers and we'll finish those out and then we'll go well the very next seminar I go there what's going on I mean the place is packed there are people lined up around the block trying to get in they couldn't get in I'm thinking who's here it was me I was here they all came to see me next place still week later so packed out they ran out of chairs there are people standing along the what they paid money to stand to listen to me next Church hundreds of people pack it oh sure now now they're gonna show up when I don't want to do this anymore I get a call from a businessman he had never heard me preach never heard me speak he says can I come eat with you sure flies in his private plane all those guys come with him wealthy businessman because I hear you good at helping couples I was at his age was getting ready to quit he says me let me ask you question says if I gave you four million dollars would you take your message to the whole country let me pray about it yes a few weeks later I get a call from a gay guy in Phoenix Arizona would you fly in and meet with me okay flight men we're talking chatting or the airport having lunch we're gonna decide gotta go gotta catch my flight okay I just forty guys watch you're not gonna give me a million dollars to help me do what you're doing I quit got on the plane landed in Minnesota called my wife Isis she said what'd he want said he wants to give us a million dollars she said oh why would he do that well I don't know at this point I'm feeling wet would you I don't know this guy's kicking wide doors open I'd you know okay the big church that I eventually took over Pass was trying to find something take over the church I forgot be the last guy on the list problem was I don't know house he calls me says we prayed if I want to give you the church okay I found my opportunity that just got opened doors there's no other doors are this was closing he was that so glad God spoke to you to come to Green Bay actually he didn't why'd you come he said come said okay the Bible spends very little time and what you should be doing more time on what kind of person you should be doing being so I know the will of God here's an example of what to do here's the Willie you want to scrub the will of God here's an example Ephesians the fourth chapter verse 25 and Ephesians great because it's full of tell you what to do with your life we're sweating our therefore each month one of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor for all members of one body here's another advice in your anger do not sin don't let the Sun go down when you're still angry don't give the devil a foothold wander oh the will of God yeah anyone's been stealing quit doing it get a job slacker do something useful well you don't have to I should be doing whatever something useful just something useful it's amazing how obsessed people get about what should I do with my little you have your watch did I do my life just something useful that may share be able to share with those in need twenty I don't let any hold someone talk talk come out of your mouth but only what's helpful for building up of others according to their needs that might benefit those who listen don't grieve the Holy Spirit whom you were sealed for the day of redemption get rid of all bitterness anger rage brawling slander along with every form of malice be kind compassionate to one another forgiving each other just as Christ in Christ God forgave you you read the New Testament this is what you hear over and over and over and over again when it comes to the will of God God is concerned on what kind of a person you are what you do is a little interest it's just not that big a deal now here's the deal turn about opening doors so you know the probably got up here and said you know we're looking for a building really I wish you'd call cuz we're trying to get rid of one that's impressive right you know what the fast afraid of that one is like yeah I'll take it I said operatives got opening doors trust them to guy to lead you so what if he wants to speak to me about something specific then he'll speak to you about something specific he's a big boy no place in the Bible can you find work I wanted to do some have something to do some and not tell him he always told them and again some of them didn't want to hear it Moses I told you about Moses I do I'm telling you do it I don't worry God is ready to squish him like a bug the parable of the talents you know this story comes the gives one guy I was five bags of gold another guy was two bags of gold one guy one jesus said the first guy took I just want to work just went got five more you God took the Torah we got two more whatever last guy he knew nothing why should you so I'm just waiting here from the Lord really yeah I'm just waiting for him to tell me what to do you know I don't wanna make a mistake that's what the peril Jesus said you see the guys that look like I don't want to make a mistake I know you're a hard guy in here do you require a lot I got on oh my goodness if the kingdom of God isn't a filled with that last guy who's gonna give then they don't do jack they keep that one thing very safe and they find a nice little hole that's got a black lid on it like this they put it in there and he you know closes a phrase dog are you working in church tonight not yet Lord hasn't told me you volunteer now no I'm still waiting for word from God got a job yet no I'm waiting for the Lord to bring me a job single people do this all the time are you married no I'm waiting for the Lord to bring me a husband really what are you Moses go find somebody Bible says he who finds a wife ever say fine that means you got to go look in hello hello hello you got to go look in well I was waiting for the Lord to tell me who to marry look I'm not saying God can - God can do anything he wants I will say this you don't find it in the Bible do you know there's no place in the Bible where God ever told anybody to marry anyone the closest you can find is when an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream about taking Mary as his wife but read it the angel never tells him to marry her he just says don't be afraid a lot of young men could hear that today don't be afraid no because he was freaking out nobody was buying the angel told me story what happened is an angel you mean Angel Rodriguez I told you stay away those Puerto Rican boys that's mad at you I'm Puerto Rican no daddy a real angel yeah would you believe it would you I wouldn't believe it my daughter has knocked up I'm by no angel told me nothing [Applause] I'm gonna kill that angel where he's at out of an angel says the jaws look just just relax from the Lord he'd already picked her the next closes you can find is when God told Hosea the Prophet to marry a prostitute and even then he didn't say what prostitute you just said go pick one pick a hole any ho ho that one Merry Christmas I was three hookers on the corner hello Pete whenever hos over there do you know how much we oversized everything we can't help ourselves our hearts are good but we're just missing it do you know the whole time Paul talked about marriage not one time did he say pray and ask the Lord for wisdom he doesn't know I think you should but he certainly didn't say wait for God to bring her to you wait for God reveal guys don't walk up to some chick and say the Lord told me you should be my wife if she has any sense she'll punch you in the face twice amen how should I know how to marry think it through use your brain there's a concept if she's a whiny girl get away from her [Music] dark moody well she's pretty she ain't that pretty there's no version of pretty that's pretty enough for that find someone that's happy find a happy girl say I'm telling you guys I'm getting advice find a happy chick because your marriage was never designed to make you happy and all the many people said hey man one designer maybe I'm supposed to be happy in the first place we're born again we're full of the Spirit of God we got the life of Christ in us you need to be happy I'll talk about that tomorrow let me talk about ou parable of the talents go just go jesus told his disciples he quit now just go go and preach constantly come back where'd they go just wherever wherever now if Peter would have been like us he to come to a road and there's a split in the road neither got on the cell phone so yo Jesus that's Peter yeah listen man we're going along and the road splits here one to the left one to the right where do you want us to go you don't care just pick one okay all right okay cool so it takes the right one let's take just one it gets the top of the hill and there's three cities whoa he gets his cellphone hey Jesus yeah that's Peter miss Rhonda's Hill and there's three cities where do you want us to go you don't care just just pick one oh okay he said just me all right sit down so go on our shy preaching the gospel people come to get healed it's one guy's got canceled one guy's got a broken leg one guy's paralyzed well it's pray for him hold on a second yeah yeah hey yo it's me Peter yeah no it's important I got I got cancer I got a broken leg I got a paralyzed guy which one you want to pray for first yeah you don't care just pick one oh okay he said just pick one all right so let's start with this guy's whispering get ready to guess the next city let's go the next day well wait a minute says the lines been disconnected [Applause] I was raised Pentecostal we teach people stuff like that don't do nothing till God tells you to do it yeah hold up here don't do nothing don't do nothing Oh in for a revelation what I supposed to do whatever find some go do it pray for the sick preach the gospel people say man yeah I don't share the gospel unless you know Lord tells me to what it's bad now would God sometimes tell you the preaching oh yeah who was the fill up man he he gets translated from one place to the other dad had to be a rush seriously we're talking star trek beam me up Scotty just like that I mean how do you handle that [Laughter] in the spirit of Laura tells him to go talk to this sometimes God will do that you don't we just look for your opportunities look for whatever at all people always ask a passage you witness the people when you get on airplanes know why not when I got on airplane I become a Calvinist in that terrible it's all Bobby to get same for those of you don't know the religious joke here Calvin let's believe everybody's already predestined go to heaven or hell so I get on hissing well you're already said I don't say nothing that is the reason I don't is I talk for hours and hours and hours and hours the last thing I want to do sitting next to my Eagles for three hours visions of taking my own life Wow I'll put in my headphones I've become a Calvinist praise God till I get off down preach the gospel it's my issue what can I tell you we all have issues right oh my gosh what if the church was full of people men who would just go do whatever just looking for whatever opportunity they got where can I serve penlow I need some help over here okay just do it here's the problem serving the churches into the kingdom of God all of it is below your pay scale right I mean you might have a PhD what does the church need someone to sweep a room well that's below my pay scale firstly everything you do an usher you stand there you're welcome people and give them bulletins not a great deal of education required with some of the simplest most brain-dead opportunities in the world this is what we're called to do just whatever feels no obvious wait for an opportunity that meets my qualifications well we don't got any well I want to preach nope find something else right a lot of we were just excited to do whatever looking for opportunities you guys are going to Rwanda maybe some wants to go to for a while yeah I'd love to go let me go Laura didn't tell me just go whatever even hadn't want you to go he'll tell you it's pretty mad here I have the Spirit of God warned you not to do something yeah you know and he makes it really clear spring I never push you to do something yeah but those are the exceptions the rule is whatever you want to go to after we go to Africa pretty sure God saves up some money well I can't go we'll send some of these young guys they're broke they got nothing to do send them right so the greatest assets we have in the kingdom got actually are single men they're not Mary got nobody to tell them what to do praise the Lord go do whatever I really feel I should go to Africa I can't go what I probably means find something else go in your stead pay for their way all kinds of opportunities whatever your hand finds to do we should be doing this all the time look I'm trying to do it's gotta be some around here I do this well I do that it's kind of cool is that a TV where'd you get around TV whatever there's many wonderful opportunities before us let's look for let's be men there just go for the kingdom when your wife asked you what you learn just say well yeah but why
