WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.500 Good morning to Chief Cornerstone. 00:02.480 --> 00:05.140 We're going to be doing something a little bit different this morning. 00:05.820 --> 00:10.880 For the winter at Chief Cornerstone, they're going to be closing out the Sunday morning services. 00:11.100 --> 00:12.060 So there's only two more. 00:13.240 --> 00:18.980 And I'm going to do that service with you right now, so that they can live stream in. 00:19.140 --> 00:20.800 And that'll be their service this morning. 00:22.200 --> 00:26.900 The Lord has me on just bringing up something, because we've had such a move of God. 00:27.060 --> 00:29.240 We've had so many good things, haven't we? 00:29.240 --> 00:36.420 Yeah, and so when that happens, you know, as oversight or seeing over different things, 00:36.560 --> 00:39.760 and just even just watching online, you could feel the power of God. 00:40.420 --> 00:42.220 Last Sunday's service, I was like, whoa! 00:43.300 --> 00:45.260 Then I wanted to see everything that was going on. 00:45.380 --> 00:48.020 You get frustrated because you're on the other side of the camera. 00:48.280 --> 00:54.180 But at the same time, there's something about the power of God changing us 00:54.180 --> 00:58.200 because he has had compassion on us. 00:59.160 --> 00:59.680 Right? 01:00.200 --> 01:06.880 And then the trueness of Christianity is to translate the compassion that he's had on us to other people. 01:07.940 --> 01:12.120 And so sometimes in full gospel circles, I'm not saying we're not doing this. 01:12.340 --> 01:15.260 I'm just saying, you know, just oversight. Let's pay attention to this. 01:17.340 --> 01:24.680 In full gospel circles, many times we're about, you know, the fire and the altar and miracles and that. 01:24.680 --> 01:28.640 And that is so good. That's him displaying his compassion on us. 01:28.800 --> 01:30.780 That's him coming in his power. 01:31.540 --> 01:35.040 And so when that happens, we take that. 01:35.560 --> 01:40.940 But as we are changed, it should do in us what he's done for us. 01:41.260 --> 01:43.160 It should do in us that compassion. 01:44.300 --> 01:47.080 So we're going to take a look at compassion this morning. 01:47.820 --> 01:50.800 And let's turn our Bibles to Psalms 145. 01:53.820 --> 01:57.420 Mm. Verse 6, 7, 8 and 9, we're going to go over. 02:00.460 --> 02:00.980 145. 02:02.520 --> 02:03.580 Thank you, Jesus. 02:05.160 --> 02:08.260 Men shall speak of the might of your awesome acts. 02:08.700 --> 02:10.600 I like that. I like doing that about God. 02:11.020 --> 02:12.980 And I will declare your greatness. 02:13.320 --> 02:17.480 They shall utter the memory of your great goodness and shall sing of your righteousness. 02:17.480 --> 02:22.240 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion. 02:22.560 --> 02:24.360 Slow to anger and great in mercy. 02:24.560 --> 02:27.420 The Lord is good to all. That's a key phrase. 02:27.840 --> 02:31.420 And his tender mercies are over all his people. 02:31.980 --> 02:33.960 All his works, I should say. 02:34.800 --> 02:37.120 So when we look at the word compassion, 02:38.500 --> 02:41.600 compassion a lot of times will think might be like, 02:41.700 --> 02:43.580 oh, I feel sorry for her. 02:44.680 --> 02:46.560 No, that might be feeling sorry. 02:47.340 --> 02:48.620 It might be empathy. 02:49.300 --> 02:52.840 There's a difference between saying, oh, I'm sorry you went through that. 02:53.000 --> 02:56.040 And you're acknowledging where a person's at. That's sorrow. 02:56.600 --> 02:58.600 But there is a difference between that and empathy. 02:58.900 --> 03:00.840 Empathy is like, I can feel where you're at. 03:01.680 --> 03:03.120 I have so been there. 03:03.480 --> 03:06.300 And I can feel the pain of what you've gone through. 03:06.880 --> 03:08.100 It's like, woo, you know. 03:08.520 --> 03:09.760 And because I've experienced compassion, 03:10.920 --> 03:13.460 it's completely opposite of what that person is feeling. 03:13.460 --> 03:15.520 They're feeling like, I need me some compassion. 03:16.240 --> 03:18.120 And so you can feel their emptiness. 03:19.240 --> 03:22.840 And so anyways, it says the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. 03:23.400 --> 03:25.060 The key there is the word full. 03:25.620 --> 03:28.680 If we look at the word compassion, we think, like I said, 03:28.760 --> 03:32.560 it might be that, oh, we feel sorry for the person or like a pity. 03:32.700 --> 03:36.620 But really compassion in the Greek means mercy. 03:38.460 --> 03:40.420 That's the main meaning for that word. 03:41.400 --> 03:43.220 It's the word mercy. 03:43.980 --> 03:46.020 And so not only does it mean that, 03:46.060 --> 03:50.920 it means loving tenderly, eager to do something, right? 03:51.380 --> 03:52.900 Like God is just waiting. He's in the shoot. 03:53.000 --> 03:54.480 He's like, I just want to do something for you. 03:55.340 --> 03:56.760 Because He moves by compassion. 03:57.000 --> 03:57.940 And He's full of it. 03:59.560 --> 04:02.240 You know, when people say, you're just full of it. 04:02.340 --> 04:03.380 Well, what are you full of? 04:05.160 --> 04:06.540 Right? What are you full of? 04:06.760 --> 04:09.700 This is saying that God is full of mercy. 04:09.700 --> 04:11.480 He's full of compassion. 04:11.720 --> 04:14.540 His mercy endures forever as another scripture. 04:15.160 --> 04:18.240 And the reason he's able to, all of him is compassion. 04:20.400 --> 04:20.960 Yeah? 04:21.620 --> 04:25.240 And so when we start to see that, it also means having pity. 04:26.040 --> 04:27.300 It means mercy. 04:27.580 --> 04:30.300 It means, you know, where we say grace is, 04:30.560 --> 04:32.460 when God gives you something you don't deserve, 04:32.920 --> 04:35.940 mercy is when He withholds what you do deserve. 04:37.040 --> 04:37.600 Right? 04:38.540 --> 04:41.620 So when we approach Him, we're approaching Him for His grace 04:41.620 --> 04:43.080 and His mercy. 04:44.200 --> 04:46.900 I have needed grace in so many areas, 04:47.020 --> 04:49.060 but sometimes I think I needed more mercy. 04:50.600 --> 04:53.140 In a certain thing, I'm like, I need some mercy right now. 04:53.400 --> 04:54.700 When you look at what it means, 04:54.820 --> 04:59.440 when you look at, you know, the fact that it is withholding, 04:59.680 --> 05:00.720 like, I know I messed up. 05:00.800 --> 05:03.060 I know this is not good. I know this is generational. 05:03.280 --> 05:05.540 I know whatever it is you're coming against. 05:05.540 --> 05:09.240 But when you come to God and you're asking Him for His mercy, 05:10.100 --> 05:12.720 He's withholding what you do deserve, 05:13.360 --> 05:16.720 and He's unleashing His grace to you to cover it. 05:16.920 --> 05:19.960 That doesn't mean, oh, we get out of sin and we, you know, do all this. 05:20.060 --> 05:22.980 I mean, the heart is looking for change. 05:23.660 --> 05:26.520 When you ask God for mercy, you're looking for change, 05:26.700 --> 05:28.580 like blind Barnameas. 05:30.180 --> 05:32.780 Son of David, have mercy on me. 05:33.580 --> 05:35.280 Have compassion toward me. 05:36.100 --> 05:38.740 You know, love me tenderly. 05:39.260 --> 05:40.580 Have pity my way. 05:41.220 --> 05:43.060 Notice me. I'm right here. 05:44.100 --> 05:45.760 Sometimes we'll set it up, you know, 05:45.820 --> 05:47.780 where maybe you go to a conference or something 05:47.780 --> 05:49.620 and people are being prophesied over. 05:49.780 --> 05:50.800 Maybe even it happens here. 05:51.900 --> 05:54.740 And the person prophesying just walks right by you. 05:55.460 --> 05:57.780 And inside, you know, outside you're smiling like, 05:57.920 --> 05:59.760 this is wonderful. I'm so happy. 05:59.760 --> 06:02.500 But inside, you're like, yeah, no one ever notices me. 06:05.120 --> 06:06.860 I'm just saying stuff that we think, 06:07.760 --> 06:09.980 but we don't usually say, so I say it for you. 06:10.560 --> 06:14.000 So it's one of those where it's just like, 06:14.040 --> 06:16.520 what, you know, I've been praying all week. 06:16.840 --> 06:18.540 I've been crying my eyes out 06:18.540 --> 06:20.700 and the prophet just walked right by me. 06:20.820 --> 06:23.000 Or they didn't even really notice me in the prayer line. 06:23.180 --> 06:24.580 Or I came up in the prayer line 06:24.580 --> 06:27.800 and what I was looking for is a blow my face off experience. 06:27.800 --> 06:29.900 And they just said a little something 06:29.900 --> 06:31.080 and moved on to the next person. 06:36.590 --> 06:38.050 When we need mercy, 06:38.330 --> 06:40.670 it's not just because of what we've done. 06:41.370 --> 06:45.610 It's because of the effects of sin that sin has had on us. 06:46.810 --> 06:48.650 Sin destroys. It's destructive. 06:49.270 --> 06:50.910 It wrecks the heart. It hardens it. 06:51.390 --> 06:52.530 It messes with our mind. 06:52.750 --> 06:54.830 It brings up the issue over and over. 06:54.990 --> 06:56.990 I mean, sin has this way 06:56.990 --> 06:59.990 of just subtracting from you constantly. 07:00.510 --> 07:02.590 And which causes us to be really needy. 07:04.030 --> 07:05.910 And if a person's really needy 07:05.910 --> 07:06.370 and you tell them, 07:06.470 --> 07:07.950 Buck it up, buttercup, come on. 07:08.670 --> 07:09.590 Get it together. 07:09.910 --> 07:11.530 That doesn't change their heart, right? 07:11.710 --> 07:13.730 You want to toughen them so they can tolerate that? 07:14.090 --> 07:17.130 No. The mind, the heart, the soul is looking for closure. 07:17.870 --> 07:19.630 Let's close this puppy out. 07:19.830 --> 07:21.290 Let's put it behind us. 07:21.410 --> 07:23.130 And we can't deny that it happened. 07:23.630 --> 07:25.990 We can't disassociate from those things 07:25.990 --> 07:27.990 and be like, well, I'm just going to not associate with that. 07:28.030 --> 07:28.650 And it'll go away. 07:29.390 --> 07:32.250 Or I'm just going to deny it 07:32.250 --> 07:34.970 where you lie to yourself in order to push it away. 07:35.470 --> 07:38.750 So when God leads us into prayer 07:38.750 --> 07:40.970 or we see ourself, 07:41.810 --> 07:43.790 once I see myself in areas, 07:44.550 --> 07:46.390 I don't want to see myself overall. 07:46.870 --> 07:48.370 All at once that's too much for the brain. 07:48.970 --> 07:49.390 That's too much. 07:49.970 --> 07:51.550 Especially it's getting better over the years, 07:51.670 --> 07:52.610 but to begin with, I'm like, 07:52.710 --> 07:53.870 You know, I couldn't. 07:54.210 --> 07:54.830 That's too much. 07:55.410 --> 07:57.650 But God will reveal an area to you 07:58.370 --> 08:01.930 and then you'll see your need for compassion. 08:02.710 --> 08:04.410 You'll see your need for mercy. 08:05.210 --> 08:07.450 You'll see your need to cry out. 08:09.210 --> 08:10.670 If we can't self-assess, 08:10.750 --> 08:12.470 then we don't see our own need. 08:13.450 --> 08:15.210 And what's really interesting is sometimes 08:15.210 --> 08:17.210 then we don't see people around us either. 08:17.650 --> 08:19.850 Because once we're in denial to ourself, 08:20.470 --> 08:22.030 people can be hurting all around us 08:22.030 --> 08:22.590 and we're like, what? 08:23.250 --> 08:24.290 Everyone seemed fine to me. 08:24.930 --> 08:27.150 And it's so obvious that people are hurting 08:27.150 --> 08:28.710 around you, but you don't see it because 08:28.710 --> 08:31.550 you're not self-aware right here. 08:32.130 --> 08:32.830 Does that make sense? 08:34.190 --> 08:37.390 So having mercy on me, oh Lord, 08:38.130 --> 08:40.810 is a very powerful prayer. 08:41.310 --> 08:43.470 It is not a shameful prayer. 08:43.810 --> 08:46.010 It shouldn't be, now I'm condemned enough, 08:46.070 --> 08:47.310 I'm going to say something prayer. 08:47.710 --> 08:49.450 It's just an acknowledgement of like, 08:49.850 --> 08:51.270 wow, that's whacked out in that area. 08:51.930 --> 08:53.390 I need to go before God. 08:54.910 --> 08:57.410 Yeah, and that you might start in a stage 08:57.410 --> 09:00.390 where you go before God and you acknowledge something 09:00.390 --> 09:01.710 and you're like, yeah, that ain't right. 09:01.850 --> 09:03.510 There's not a lot of emotion to it. 09:03.550 --> 09:06.250 But as you start to head toward that thing 09:06.250 --> 09:08.170 and you see the depth of it 09:08.170 --> 09:09.910 and you see how it's bound you 09:09.910 --> 09:11.570 and you see how it's affecting others, 09:11.810 --> 09:14.310 all of a sudden that's when the tears start to roll 09:14.310 --> 09:16.610 and you become more self-aware like, 09:16.670 --> 09:17.910 I need his mercy. 09:18.230 --> 09:19.690 I need his grace. 09:22.290 --> 09:24.690 So if we don't understand that process 09:24.690 --> 09:25.950 of how it happens to us, 09:26.090 --> 09:29.150 then evangelistically just helping people 09:29.150 --> 09:30.350 doesn't matter what team you're on, 09:30.430 --> 09:32.050 doesn't matter if you're ministering on the streets 09:32.050 --> 09:33.130 or where you're at. 09:33.470 --> 09:36.170 It would be very difficult to minister 09:36.170 --> 09:37.570 to the person right. 09:37.710 --> 09:38.470 And this is why. 09:39.150 --> 09:41.530 The same way we tell ourselves how to get over stuff 09:41.530 --> 09:43.430 is the same attitude we'll have toward them. 09:44.350 --> 09:46.250 Just, oh man, you know, 09:46.330 --> 09:47.150 what's their problem? 09:47.150 --> 09:48.770 They just need to get over it. 09:48.810 --> 09:51.150 They just need to, you know, whatever it is. 09:51.450 --> 09:53.110 Kind of like sometimes people 09:53.110 --> 09:54.550 will judge other people's children 09:54.990 --> 09:56.690 and the child's freaking out or whatever. 09:57.310 --> 09:59.130 You don't know if they've been up half the night. 09:59.210 --> 10:00.250 You don't know if they have a toothache 10:00.250 --> 10:01.190 and earache or whatever. 10:01.370 --> 10:03.830 They just need to learn how to discipline their children. 10:05.090 --> 10:05.570 Right? 10:06.070 --> 10:09.070 It'll be said like that because we want to now answer. 10:10.110 --> 10:12.050 We want things to go now. 10:12.590 --> 10:13.270 And so compassion 10:13.970 --> 10:14.870 looks deep. 10:15.530 --> 10:16.790 Mercy looks deep. 10:17.150 --> 10:19.090 Mercy looks at the whole thing. 10:19.410 --> 10:20.930 It's a big view. 10:22.390 --> 10:23.870 God is full of mercy. 10:24.730 --> 10:26.190 So if you also approach God 10:26.190 --> 10:29.210 and let's say I had a container of water up here 10:29.210 --> 10:30.610 and it was, you know, maybe 10:30.610 --> 10:32.370 three quarters full instead of full. 10:32.770 --> 10:34.890 If you believe that that's how God's 10:34.890 --> 10:36.270 compassion is toward you, 10:36.450 --> 10:38.690 you will always look to the part that's missing. 10:40.990 --> 10:42.710 So you're like, I know 10:42.710 --> 10:44.670 he has compassion, but he's not going to use 10:44.670 --> 10:46.750 that part that's full 10:46.750 --> 10:48.630 down here. The part that's empty 10:48.630 --> 10:50.890 is what I focus on. How he's probably 10:50.890 --> 10:52.130 going to look at me through that. 10:53.670 --> 10:54.990 Condemnation is under that. 10:56.570 --> 10:58.890 Just feeling of needing for punishments. 10:59.030 --> 11:00.710 Sometimes we actually get 11:00.710 --> 11:02.590 trained in a way where we feel like 11:02.590 --> 11:04.610 we need to be punished. And we'll set it up 11:04.610 --> 11:07.330 in life where I'm going to just keep screwing up until I get punished for it. 11:07.530 --> 11:09.110 Because I know that's what I deserve. 11:10.210 --> 11:11.190 I'm too scared 11:11.190 --> 11:12.990 to ask for compassion and mercy. 11:13.570 --> 11:15.330 But I will look to the part of the glass 11:15.330 --> 11:17.410 I believe is half empty 11:19.230 --> 11:20.950 when God is actually full 11:20.950 --> 11:22.150 of mercy. 11:23.510 --> 11:25.510 So if you approach the altar, let's say 11:25.510 --> 11:27.090 and you're needing something for God 11:27.090 --> 11:28.950 and you're needing his compassion, his mercy, 11:29.250 --> 11:30.610 his touch, his love, 11:31.110 --> 11:33.210 his eagerness to meet 11:33.210 --> 11:35.350 our need. And you have any areas in you 11:35.350 --> 11:35.970 that are like, 11:37.090 --> 11:38.990 well, I see that he's this much full, 11:38.990 --> 11:41.090 but I can't just cross over to believe 11:41.090 --> 11:42.730 that he's all the way full 11:42.730 --> 11:43.450 of compassion. 11:46.030 --> 11:47.310 So then that would mean 11:48.230 --> 11:49.110 God is empty 11:49.110 --> 11:50.990 and void in certain 11:50.990 --> 11:52.950 areas, and he's just not going to be able to meet 11:52.950 --> 11:53.350 our needs. 11:54.790 --> 11:56.890 Right? But when we look at the fact 11:56.890 --> 11:58.230 that he's actually full 11:58.850 --> 12:00.950 of compassion and the word, I like that the word 12:00.950 --> 12:02.750 compassion has the word compass in it. 12:03.170 --> 12:04.870 You know, it's what directs, right? 12:06.430 --> 12:06.890 And so 12:06.890 --> 12:09.270 when we look at that, he's full of compassion. 12:09.630 --> 12:11.210 And that's who we're crying out 12:11.210 --> 12:12.650 for mercy from. 12:13.630 --> 12:14.490 That's who we're going to. 12:14.830 --> 12:16.610 Somebody's just so full of it. 12:17.030 --> 12:17.470 Right? 12:18.290 --> 12:20.410 He's just so full of compassion. 12:20.650 --> 12:22.290 And we're coming up against that. 12:22.730 --> 12:24.470 You know, when we cry out to him, 12:24.590 --> 12:26.270 it's like, wow, he is the full, 12:26.470 --> 12:27.830 he is the all of the answer. 12:29.370 --> 12:30.990 He's how shadowy our father 12:30.990 --> 12:31.970 is more than enough. 12:33.170 --> 12:34.130 In fact, he 12:34.130 --> 12:35.970 says he's full here, but when you 12:35.970 --> 12:37.930 read other scriptures, like my cup runneth 12:37.930 --> 12:39.630 over, that's how he 12:40.050 --> 12:41.110 wants us to be full. 12:41.710 --> 12:43.850 He doesn't give you a little dabble, do you? 12:44.270 --> 12:45.770 You know, you come, you're like, just give me 12:45.770 --> 12:47.570 a little something, something, like no. He's always 12:47.570 --> 12:49.390 like, oh, I was a little... 12:49.390 --> 12:50.390 that ran over the top. 12:51.170 --> 12:52.990 Hope that blessed you. That's the God 12:52.990 --> 12:55.190 that he is. And he can't help himself 12:55.190 --> 12:56.450 because he's so full 12:56.930 --> 12:57.730 of mercy. 13:00.290 --> 13:02.130 And it messes with the head 13:02.130 --> 13:04.230 if we start talking like this, because it's like, 13:04.450 --> 13:06.190 yeah, but what if I sinned 13:06.190 --> 13:08.170 and yeah, but the, yeah, but start coming 13:08.170 --> 13:09.990 up and it doesn't take away, 13:10.130 --> 13:11.990 you know, the fact that sin affects you, 13:12.070 --> 13:14.110 the demonic realm affects you, all those kinds of things. 13:14.310 --> 13:16.150 But that's what his mercy is for. That's 13:16.150 --> 13:17.170 what his grace is for. 13:18.190 --> 13:19.810 Son of David, have mercy on me. 13:20.070 --> 13:22.190 So what that's showing us is where 13:22.190 --> 13:24.170 we stop and we go, I'm right here, Lord, 13:24.610 --> 13:24.910 see me. 13:25.910 --> 13:27.890 You know the scripture where it says he looks to 13:27.890 --> 13:29.510 and fro throughout the earth. 13:30.330 --> 13:31.150 He looks 13:31.750 --> 13:33.670 for those that are crying out to him. 13:34.230 --> 13:35.510 He looks for those 13:35.510 --> 13:37.550 that because he wants to meet, he's so 13:37.550 --> 13:39.490 full of compassion. He just wants to 13:39.490 --> 13:40.470 pour that out. 13:42.050 --> 13:43.590 Compassion and mercy will convict 13:43.590 --> 13:43.790 you. 13:45.130 --> 13:46.410 It will change you. 13:47.050 --> 13:49.090 It will make you feel loved. It will cause 13:49.090 --> 13:51.150 safety. It'll give you permission to grow. 13:51.490 --> 13:53.410 It'll bring you to a place of knowledge. 13:53.650 --> 13:55.150 I mean, there's so much in it. 13:55.370 --> 13:57.410 It isn't him feeling sorry for 13:57.410 --> 13:57.730 us. 13:59.030 --> 14:01.170 We're like, God, feel sorry for me enough 14:01.170 --> 14:03.370 that you'll do something. Sometimes we'll 14:03.370 --> 14:05.050 do that in our immaturity. We'll cry. 14:05.210 --> 14:07.110 We make sure we cry extra long. 14:07.430 --> 14:08.630 That way he notices us. 14:09.450 --> 14:11.290 Or you cry out extra 14:11.290 --> 14:13.110 loud. He has no choice 14:13.110 --> 14:15.230 to do that. He's 14:15.230 --> 14:17.010 so full of compassion. He's just looking 14:17.010 --> 14:18.810 for you to ask, seek, and knock. 14:19.770 --> 14:20.750 And if you do that 14:20.750 --> 14:22.830 and say, I'm still here, Lord, I'm right here. 14:22.930 --> 14:24.650 You're looking to and fro throughout the earth. 14:24.650 --> 14:26.630 Why? To look for someone 14:26.630 --> 14:28.750 who'll stand in the gap, one version says. 14:28.890 --> 14:30.610 But it also says, he's looking 14:30.610 --> 14:32.290 for those people he can show 14:32.290 --> 14:34.330 his self strong to. 14:36.410 --> 14:38.670 So he's not coming out of lack. He's coming out 14:38.670 --> 14:40.610 of his overflow. It's like, I got 14:40.610 --> 14:41.610 to have some people. 14:42.350 --> 14:44.210 See who's crying out. Let me just 14:44.210 --> 14:46.510 dump this on them. 14:48.170 --> 14:50.150 Because it is love that changes us. 14:51.470 --> 14:52.790 You can have truth without 14:52.790 --> 14:54.390 love and it won't be truth at all. 14:55.690 --> 14:56.690 You can have love 14:56.690 --> 14:58.750 without truth and it won't be love at 14:58.750 --> 14:58.970 all. 15:01.310 --> 15:02.030 Makes sense? 15:03.170 --> 15:04.850 You know, kind of like, I love 15:04.850 --> 15:06.250 you. That's why I'm correcting you. 15:06.530 --> 15:08.750 And you talk to 15:08.750 --> 15:10.870 a kid a certain way or whatever 15:10.870 --> 15:12.750 and it's like, well, you're missing 15:12.750 --> 15:13.730 the truth part. 15:14.690 --> 15:16.410 Or the love part when we do 15:16.410 --> 15:18.610 things like that. It's more how we 15:18.610 --> 15:20.750 can approach, do the discipline. 15:20.750 --> 15:22.790 But the child knows the whole time, 15:23.110 --> 15:24.150 man, my dad loves me. 15:25.250 --> 15:26.490 He cares enough 15:27.910 --> 15:28.790 to be in my 15:28.790 --> 15:30.690 face. He cares enough 15:30.690 --> 15:32.130 to correct me. 15:32.650 --> 15:34.530 And this is why Proverbs says, if you don't discipline 15:34.530 --> 15:36.350 a child, you hate them. I mean, that's a pretty 15:36.350 --> 15:38.270 extreme statement. But that's a wisdom 15:38.270 --> 15:38.630 book. 15:40.290 --> 15:42.630 So all that was his, that's wisdom. 15:42.910 --> 15:44.410 That's wisdom from God. If you don't 15:44.410 --> 15:46.470 discipline your child, you hate them. How 15:46.470 --> 15:47.910 you discipline your child 15:49.310 --> 15:50.650 has to be through truth and 15:50.650 --> 15:50.890 love. 15:52.530 --> 15:53.910 Because that's what he does with us. 15:54.190 --> 15:56.250 And he is full of compassion. And compassion 15:56.910 --> 15:58.090 doesn't always let you 15:58.090 --> 16:00.090 out of everything. That's 16:00.090 --> 16:01.590 another misconstrued thing. 16:02.530 --> 16:03.970 It's like, yes, the word 16:03.970 --> 16:05.830 compassion is the same as the word mercy. 16:06.790 --> 16:07.530 And so mercy 16:08.130 --> 16:09.430 withholds what you do deserve. 16:09.810 --> 16:11.030 But it still makes you grow. 16:12.310 --> 16:13.910 Do you ever have where God is just kind of 16:13.910 --> 16:16.030 like he answers something that you really didn't deserve? 16:16.030 --> 16:17.830 And then you just go off and do 16:17.830 --> 16:19.750 whatever you want to do. No, he's like, 16:19.810 --> 16:20.490 no, you're going to grow. 16:21.550 --> 16:23.250 We're not leaving this like this. 16:23.530 --> 16:24.550 You're going to need to grow. 16:25.710 --> 16:26.270 That make sense? 16:27.190 --> 16:29.750 Kind of like praying for, there was 16:29.750 --> 16:30.890 a lady in Colorado that 16:31.530 --> 16:33.470 heavy heroin addict. I didn't 16:33.470 --> 16:35.390 know that she was, but 16:35.390 --> 16:37.290 I just took her children in my day care 16:37.290 --> 16:39.450 as a drop off point. You know, they 16:39.450 --> 16:41.210 do drop off day care so you might be 16:41.210 --> 16:42.650 there a day or two days or whatever. 16:42.650 --> 16:44.690 And she called the phone to check on 16:44.690 --> 16:46.710 the kids and she got her answering service 16:46.710 --> 16:48.590 and it said, Word of Life 16:48.590 --> 16:50.470 Ministries. I never told her I was a minister. 16:50.770 --> 16:52.450 I was just taking kids in my home, right? 16:52.930 --> 16:54.590 And so she said, I need God 16:54.590 --> 16:56.110 right now is what she left 16:56.570 --> 16:58.650 on the answering service. I need him and I need 16:58.650 --> 17:00.650 him right now. And so 17:00.650 --> 17:02.730 I called her and she came to the house 17:02.730 --> 17:04.390 and like within five minutes 17:04.390 --> 17:06.210 of coming to the house, she got born again. 17:07.630 --> 17:08.670 And then she said, 17:08.790 --> 17:10.610 I've been a heroin addict in a prostitute for 17:10.610 --> 17:12.610 years and I don't know 17:12.610 --> 17:14.490 how to stop. And we 17:14.490 --> 17:15.590 ask God for His mercy. 17:17.170 --> 17:18.290 And he lifted 17:18.290 --> 17:20.530 that addiction from her. She never had 17:20.530 --> 17:21.930 a craving again. 17:23.310 --> 17:23.990 It was crazy. 17:24.430 --> 17:26.370 Just gone. You don't do that with heroin. Heroin 17:26.370 --> 17:28.590 is not like a huh, you know, because it actually 17:28.590 --> 17:30.330 changes the component in your brain, even 17:30.330 --> 17:32.350 how your brain operates. And you don't just 17:32.350 --> 17:34.290 walk away from it. It takes a process 17:34.290 --> 17:35.870 and the natural to get that to happen. 17:36.210 --> 17:38.390 Well, having had that happen 17:38.390 --> 17:40.510 for her, that was His mercy. 17:41.010 --> 17:42.410 But guess what? All of a sudden the drug 17:42.410 --> 17:43.150 is gone, right? 17:44.030 --> 17:45.510 Now she sees herself. 17:46.470 --> 17:46.710 Ah. 17:47.870 --> 17:49.250 How did I get into that? 17:49.870 --> 17:52.350 Where did I come from? What's my belief system now? 17:52.630 --> 17:54.410 And that's when God is like that same 17:54.410 --> 17:56.290 mercy, that same compassion is saying 17:56.290 --> 17:58.350 I walk with you, but we are going 17:58.350 --> 17:59.270 to go the narrow way. 18:01.830 --> 18:02.290 Right? 18:03.870 --> 18:04.330 So 18:04.330 --> 18:06.070 when we ask Him for compassion 18:06.070 --> 18:08.390 don't feel like, you know, I'm just hoping 18:08.390 --> 18:09.770 He gives me mercy here. 18:10.090 --> 18:11.310 Then I'm getting out of stuff. 18:12.050 --> 18:14.030 Well, you might be getting out of a consequence 18:14.030 --> 18:16.210 of something or, you know, 18:16.290 --> 18:18.050 He might be adding something to your life 18:18.050 --> 18:19.450 that will benefit you, get you through. 18:19.890 --> 18:21.850 But He's still standing there saying, you're 18:21.850 --> 18:23.010 going to grow? When are we growing? 18:24.550 --> 18:24.830 Right? 18:26.270 --> 18:27.230 So compassion. 18:28.470 --> 18:29.930 Whatever you're full of 18:29.930 --> 18:30.710 is what comes out. 18:32.370 --> 18:33.830 So why this is important 18:33.830 --> 18:35.830 when we believe in the gifts of the Spirit 18:37.370 --> 18:38.170 is because 18:38.170 --> 18:39.850 if we're not moved by compassion 18:41.150 --> 18:41.970 what is coming 18:41.970 --> 18:43.690 out of us? Well, it's the power of God. 18:45.790 --> 18:47.330 It might be a strange fire. 18:47.770 --> 18:49.710 It might be a mix of your 18:49.710 --> 18:51.390 lack of character, your 18:51.870 --> 18:53.850 lack of moving and compassion for the 18:53.850 --> 18:55.750 person, and we're just wanting to move in power. 18:57.770 --> 18:59.070 And when I first got saved 19:00.390 --> 19:01.910 I had compassion for people 19:01.910 --> 19:03.750 on one hand, but on the other hand 19:03.750 --> 19:05.170 I was watching people get healed and I'm like 19:05.170 --> 19:06.230 I want to do that. 19:07.530 --> 19:08.610 So you get all excited. 19:09.270 --> 19:11.290 And then you forget that that's a person 19:11.290 --> 19:12.150 you're praying for. 19:14.230 --> 19:15.490 Right? It's more of like 19:15.490 --> 19:16.570 I want to see the results. 19:17.570 --> 19:18.950 I want to see that happen. 19:19.330 --> 19:21.030 Well, are you seeing that happen for you? 19:22.310 --> 19:23.330 Are we in 19:23.330 --> 19:25.490 some type of at a boy 19:25.490 --> 19:26.190 for ourselves? 19:27.210 --> 19:28.730 Or is it like, you know 19:28.730 --> 19:30.490 I don't care 19:30.490 --> 19:32.170 if we're in a, you know, a 19:32.170 --> 19:34.070 back corner and no one ever knows I prayed 19:34.070 --> 19:35.970 for this person. I want to see them healed 19:35.970 --> 19:38.110 so bad. They're suffering. 19:39.010 --> 19:40.490 I can hear the cry 19:40.490 --> 19:41.530 of their soul. 19:43.830 --> 19:44.310 Right? 19:45.850 --> 19:46.250 So 19:46.250 --> 19:48.510 if you look up scriptures 19:48.510 --> 19:49.210 on 19:50.590 --> 19:52.410 compassion, there's a whole bunch 19:52.410 --> 19:54.170 of them. And like I said in the Greek 19:54.170 --> 19:56.490 it's the same as mercy. It's to 19:56.490 --> 19:58.350 have pity. It's that there's 19:58.350 --> 19:59.790 an eagerness to help. 20:01.190 --> 20:02.330 And there's a 20:02.330 --> 20:03.330 love tenderly. 20:04.210 --> 20:06.290 This is what I don't like. When I 20:06.290 --> 20:08.030 first got saved I was in a church that 20:08.030 --> 20:10.230 there was a lady that organized stuff. 20:10.950 --> 20:12.350 Well, she organized stuff 20:12.350 --> 20:14.310 to get it done, right? That's a good 20:14.310 --> 20:16.210 that's a good gift. Until 20:16.950 --> 20:18.310 you coerce people 20:18.310 --> 20:20.510 into doing something. Like you're on 20:20.510 --> 20:22.270 them like white on rice and 20:22.270 --> 20:24.110 you guilt them and you do all come on 20:24.110 --> 20:26.230 you need to be in the choir. Come 20:26.230 --> 20:28.130 on, you know. You're not 20:28.130 --> 20:28.810 actually 20:29.750 --> 20:31.550 getting them in a spot where they're like 20:31.550 --> 20:33.770 I have been so eager to do this. 20:33.950 --> 20:36.250 I feel like if I can get up there and help sing 20:36.250 --> 20:38.090 and we can work hard on this 20:38.090 --> 20:40.090 that when we sing the anointing will 20:40.090 --> 20:41.090 come and change people. 20:42.190 --> 20:43.870 Right? It's more like okay, fine 20:43.870 --> 20:45.230 I'll be in the Christmas play. 20:46.110 --> 20:47.910 You ever get wrangled into something like that? 20:48.290 --> 20:49.310 Well, you're not eager. 20:49.830 --> 20:51.970 You're not looking loving tenderly 20:51.970 --> 20:53.890 toward it. You're just fulfilling something that you'll say 20:53.890 --> 20:55.670 and I am never going to do that again. 20:56.090 --> 20:57.890 I don't know how to tell this woman no though. 20:58.490 --> 20:59.790 It was interesting. She would come 20:59.790 --> 21:01.990 she would come. I had 21:01.990 --> 21:04.010 an understood church besides Mary 21:04.010 --> 21:05.510 much religion and rarely going. 21:05.950 --> 21:07.650 So I've never encountered 21:08.150 --> 21:10.030 this woman, right? In any 21:10.030 --> 21:11.510 other church. And so 21:11.510 --> 21:13.910 she would come and if you're sitting in the chair 21:13.910 --> 21:15.170 she would stand over you. 21:16.090 --> 21:17.750 See, that's a posture of 21:17.750 --> 21:18.550 I'm in control. 21:19.590 --> 21:21.010 Right? Not sit down next to you 21:21.010 --> 21:21.970 and be like, hey, let's talk. 21:22.190 --> 21:23.930 And I don't even like it when people 21:24.430 --> 21:26.490 approach and ask me a question here. It just feels so weird. 21:26.590 --> 21:28.390 You're up here like, yes, small one. 21:28.830 --> 21:30.490 You know, it's like you have to come 21:30.490 --> 21:32.410 down and meet a person and look in their 21:32.410 --> 21:34.550 face and you know, it's like I don't 21:34.550 --> 21:36.430 I don't like that. And in fact 21:36.430 --> 21:37.150 there's a huge 21:38.250 --> 21:40.150 like a bit red like they have a huge podium 21:40.630 --> 21:42.610 that I can stand behind. I just 21:42.610 --> 21:44.410 never do. I just don't like it. 21:44.510 --> 21:46.290 So we brought up the one that used to be here and I 21:46.290 --> 21:48.290 put her down on the floor. So I want to see people's 21:48.290 --> 21:50.250 faces. I love you. 21:50.870 --> 21:51.950 Right? And 21:51.950 --> 21:54.190 so I want them to feel 21:54.190 --> 21:56.530 God's compassion and when compassion 21:56.530 --> 21:58.150 hits the room, it's an ability 21:59.050 --> 22:00.230 to let people 22:00.230 --> 22:01.590 know my answer 22:02.110 --> 22:02.950 is here 22:04.070 --> 22:05.610 because love is in the house. 22:06.950 --> 22:08.350 So, but I've seen 22:08.350 --> 22:10.090 you know, like I said, when I first got saved 22:10.090 --> 22:12.310 people would try to coerce you into things 22:12.310 --> 22:14.270 and they'd have big programs and all the stuff 22:14.270 --> 22:15.890 but there was no 22:15.890 --> 22:17.630 anointing.

First, let's deal with it. See, if we're afraid to do that, that means we're not also believing there's going to be any mercy flowing there. 30:18.590 --> 30:39.270 I commend the spirits that are in this house right now to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right? And you go and you say something to your husband. I'm so sorry if I've treated you poorly. This is a spiritual thing. First, let's deal with it. See, if we're afraid to do that, that means we're not also believing there's going to be any mercy flowing there. 30:40.190 --> 30:59.490 So we're scared we're going to stir this thing up and it's going to get bad. That's for a whole bunch of people. Right? The thing you fear you can't speak into and you can't have what you speak against. 31:01.870 --> 31:10.510 Well, I've always been like this and that's just the way it is in my family. And God's saying he wants this for, yeah, but you don't understand it. You can't have what you speak against. 31:13.830 --> 31:25.950 His mercy, when we ask for his mercy, it's a belief that comes up in us that says, oh, he's so full of compassion. He's got this with me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
