WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.100 For those of you just coming in, we've been talking about Abraham and Isaac. 00:05.920 --> 00:11.680 Let's go ahead and turn our Bibles to Genesis chapter 22. We're going to continue on with this. 00:12.060 --> 00:16.020 And it's not just a story that has some good points in it. 00:16.140 --> 00:20.900 Right now, it's literally prophetically something the church is walking through. 00:21.380 --> 00:26.260 We're walking through this as individuals. It's something you can be at a different stage in one area. 00:26.260 --> 00:31.200 You know, and walking up the mountain ready to sacrifice in another area. 00:31.660 --> 00:34.880 It's just spiritual growth. It's how this all works. 00:35.020 --> 00:45.380 But before we get started, Genesis chapter 22, I want us all to stand and we're going to agree in prayer for a new opening. 00:45.380 --> 00:54.880 And that's in nato wash. And so I will be leaving here right after prayer and going up and preaching in nato wash to the native community. 00:54.880 --> 00:58.980 And then heading up to red lake. So if we could stand and agree in prayer. 01:03.540 --> 01:12.220 Father, we thank you that in the region, you raise up churches. You raise up kings and priests. 01:12.880 --> 01:16.480 You put it together. You put it. You're a dot connector. 01:16.820 --> 01:20.480 We thank your Lord. The puzzle pieces are coming together for the region. 01:20.760 --> 01:24.260 One little area at a time. One little place at a time. 01:24.260 --> 01:31.620 Thank you, God, for openings of the doors. We take authority over anything that's saying no to me being there. 01:32.180 --> 01:41.380 And we say yes to you. And therefore the angels plow the way. The word of God is there to settle what we've already prayed. 01:41.560 --> 01:51.240 We thank you for that. We agree for safety, guidance, and even more of an opening as we walk through this new door in the name of Jesus. 01:51.240 --> 01:54.500 Amen. Thank you for that. 01:55.180 --> 02:00.260 Yeah, so we are back talking about Abraham and Isaac. 02:00.780 --> 02:14.420 And a lot has happened in the last few weeks where questions have been posed of, you know, back in chapter 21 where we talked about settling past things. 02:14.780 --> 02:20.240 You know, like the well was covered over and they had to make a covenant regarding settling that argument. 02:20.240 --> 02:23.300 Or that thing that was done wrong. 02:23.900 --> 02:33.320 And then Abamelech and Philco, the commander of the army, wanted to make sure that there was an oath, a promise that could be kept that said, 02:33.680 --> 02:38.260 I can see the blessing on you, the blessing of God in all you do. So please don't mess with me. 02:38.660 --> 02:41.220 And don't mess with my children or my children's children. 02:41.480 --> 02:46.340 Like can we live in this land of peace? Because I know you have the blessing even though they have the army. 02:46.340 --> 02:50.720 And he's the king. He's asking Abraham for peace. 02:51.400 --> 02:52.660 So that was huge. 02:53.220 --> 03:02.380 And then we talked about these binding agreements, but we also talked about the well of oath and then the tamaris tree. 03:02.800 --> 03:09.380 So before I go on into chapter 22, someone asked me a question. How do I know if I planted a tamaris tree? 03:10.580 --> 03:13.960 Well, if you planted tree, you do have to water it, right? 03:14.400 --> 03:18.440 You have to make sure it's got what it needs. You have to check on it. It's a brand new tree. 03:19.480 --> 03:21.960 I popped one on the ground this last summer. 03:22.700 --> 03:26.320 I popped two in the ground, apple trees, and one made it and the other didn't. 03:26.520 --> 03:29.940 But was out there checking on it all the time? No. I was like, God be with you. 03:30.480 --> 03:37.280 And so you do need to culture it. You need to watch over it, or there's a chance that it will die. 03:37.640 --> 03:39.640 It's the same thing with relational things. 03:39.640 --> 03:48.280 If tamaris means new beginnings, that means they settled with an oath and a covenant and made an agreement 03:48.280 --> 03:53.520 that this is the sign that that happened. Now there's a new beginning. 03:53.900 --> 03:59.820 That means we don't get to go back and argue about the well, right? 04:00.520 --> 04:03.140 Because that's already... we already have a promise regarding that. 04:03.580 --> 04:06.880 We don't get to go back and say, are you picking on me or whatever? 04:06.880 --> 04:10.440 No, we already settled it. There's an oath. He swore to it. 04:11.080 --> 04:15.160 So it's the same thing if you've got something that's been unsettled in your marriage 04:15.160 --> 04:17.820 or unsettled in relatives or whatever it is. 04:18.120 --> 04:20.440 And you think you kissed and made up. 04:21.120 --> 04:24.740 And then next week you're bringing up the same stuff over and over. 04:25.360 --> 04:28.120 And it's like, see, I don't trust you with the well thing. 04:28.760 --> 04:33.140 You know, it's like that. And you know, when there's a covenant, you've made an agreement 04:33.140 --> 04:38.860 and you make a choice to hold your side of that covenant. 04:39.380 --> 04:42.920 And you have to trust that they're going to hold their side. 04:43.500 --> 04:48.600 You can't get in there and dabble. You can't change that other person, right? 04:49.640 --> 04:52.080 You just got to hold your side of the deal. 04:52.500 --> 04:54.080 And so that's what he did. 04:54.440 --> 04:58.560 So the timorous, the questions that came in was like, how do I know that it's... 04:58.560 --> 04:59.820 that I know that it's settled? 04:59.820 --> 05:05.380 Well, just because you settled something doesn't mean, you know, like emotions don't come up about it. 05:05.400 --> 05:08.540 Or, you know, well, I still wonder about this or whatever. 05:08.780 --> 05:10.840 That doesn't mean it's unsettled. 05:11.260 --> 05:15.920 What marks it being settled is that you're still moving ahead even if you have those questions. 05:16.600 --> 05:20.240 There's a new beginning. Beginning of what? The thing I'm into now is new. 05:20.500 --> 05:22.560 And so I'm going to keep moving along with that. 05:22.760 --> 05:28.560 But if you planted a tamarind tree but you keep looking back and there's no new beginning. 05:28.560 --> 05:33.380 You say there's a new beginning, but we're not working the system that he's got you now in. 05:33.980 --> 05:35.060 The tree don't count. 05:37.240 --> 05:39.440 See, I like that it's a reminder. 05:40.700 --> 05:45.460 You know, if you've had something where there was disagreements between you and another person or whatever, 05:45.580 --> 05:47.960 and this went on for a long time and you tried to settle it. 05:49.820 --> 05:54.660 You look out the window and you see a tamarind tree, you're like, yeah, we did settle that. 05:54.660 --> 06:00.280 We already talked about that. We already have an agreement, so I don't need to get into it. 06:00.300 --> 06:02.720 It's a reminder for you first. 06:03.800 --> 06:07.160 Then it's a reminder or an announcement to everyone else. 06:07.700 --> 06:11.420 Don't worry about this because we planted the tree. It's a new beginning. 06:12.320 --> 06:15.500 Amen? Hopefully I didn't make that muddier, but it cleared it up. 06:16.720 --> 06:22.780 So when you're planting your tree, you're settling it in the covenant first or in the oath first. 06:22.780 --> 06:26.560 Then you're saying, this will be the sign of the new beginning. 06:28.080 --> 06:30.720 And trees grow, right? 06:31.360 --> 06:35.200 And they get bigger so everyone can see, I remember that. That's when that tree was planted. 06:35.540 --> 06:39.860 That's when that happened. This is a sign. Don't mess with the well. All those things. 06:40.240 --> 06:42.960 So, now we're on to chapter 22. 06:42.960 --> 06:46.000 We just started it last week where we talked about... 06:46.000 --> 06:50.580 Now after these things, God tested the faith and commitment of Abraham and said to him, 06:50.580 --> 06:56.520 Abraham, and he answered, here I am. I'm just going to bring it up again so it's welded into us. 06:57.300 --> 07:00.020 Now after these things, remember I said that counts? 07:01.040 --> 07:08.500 That's not just filler words. And in my Bible and the Amplified, now after is all caps. 07:09.520 --> 07:12.460 I don't know if they have it up there, like, oh, everything's caps there. 07:12.620 --> 07:19.000 But it says now after. And it's clarifying these things had to take place. 07:19.000 --> 07:22.780 And then God tested the faith and commitment of Abraham. 07:23.040 --> 07:27.540 Because the new beginnings say, I'm going to move on to the thing God called me to do. 07:27.800 --> 07:30.200 And that marked the moment.

17:32.470 --> 17:33.330 I would really like that. 17:33.390 --> 17:34.330 No, it's going to be one of the mountains. 17:34.330 --> 17:36.790 But it'll be the one that I shall tell you. 17:37.130 --> 17:40.010 Get some training, get some learning and move on. 17:40.130 --> 17:42.410 These are all attitude stuff 17:42.990 --> 17:45.470 that God is saying to word of life, 17:45.590 --> 17:46.950 we have to know how to do this. 17:47.030 --> 17:49.270 We have to know how to navigate through this. 17:50.010 --> 17:51.670 So Abraham got up early in the morning, 17:51.870 --> 17:52.790 saddled his donkey, 17:53.030 --> 17:54.970 and took two of his young men with him 17:54.970 --> 17:58.030 or other versions say, servants, 17:58.610 --> 18:00.190 with him and his son Isaac. 18:00.330 --> 18:02.070 And he split the wood for the burnt offering. 18:02.070 --> 18:03.830 And then he got up and went to the place 18:03.830 --> 18:06.590 of which God had told him. 18:07.150 --> 18:09.430 He's going to the place that God had told him. 18:09.830 --> 18:12.570 But there's a preparation even in that. 18:13.810 --> 18:15.590 In this last year, 18:15.990 --> 18:17.530 people have asked me so many questions. 18:17.710 --> 18:19.870 I've had people just all over the region 18:19.870 --> 18:21.870 will ask me questions about 18:21.870 --> 18:23.130 how to get in the ministry, 18:23.530 --> 18:25.950 how to get moving in their destiny. 18:26.230 --> 18:27.910 And the details do count. 18:28.870 --> 18:31.150 You know, even him going up, 18:31.150 --> 18:32.370 he's got to get to Mariah. 18:32.510 --> 18:33.970 He's got to be in the region of learning. 18:34.290 --> 18:36.130 Then he's got to prepare 18:36.130 --> 18:37.630 to be on the right mountain. 18:37.650 --> 18:40.110 Then he's got to prepare what he's taking with. 18:43.070 --> 18:44.190 There's an idea. 18:44.410 --> 18:45.250 It's very immature. 18:46.490 --> 18:48.150 And a lot of the questions have come in. 18:48.470 --> 18:49.950 It's lack of knowledge. 18:50.410 --> 18:52.870 It's a projection of like, 18:53.030 --> 18:55.790 you're called, the anointing is great on you, 18:55.990 --> 18:59.270 and you step into this thing that God has you to do. 18:59.870 --> 19:01.470 Just like, we just arrive. 19:02.610 --> 19:04.570 It's like, I never got that opportunity 19:04.570 --> 19:05.770 to just arrive at anything. 19:07.450 --> 19:08.970 How come you guys are getting out of it? 19:09.030 --> 19:10.070 That's why I want to ask the person, 19:10.190 --> 19:12.010 how do you think you're getting out of this? 19:12.430 --> 19:13.570 I never got out of it. 19:13.950 --> 19:15.950 There's a work that has to be done. 19:16.070 --> 19:16.970 There's things that have... 19:16.970 --> 19:18.250 We got to go chop some wood. 19:18.750 --> 19:20.530 Get ready for this sacrifice. 19:21.130 --> 19:22.730 We've got to saddle the donkey, 19:22.950 --> 19:25.050 which in dream language is like your ministry. 19:25.230 --> 19:26.530 We got to get this thing ready. 19:26.530 --> 19:30.350 And the two young men or servants that came with them, 19:31.470 --> 19:34.170 or people that are going to help pull this task off, 19:34.170 --> 19:35.290 just like in a church, 19:35.690 --> 19:37.910 you have people that come with the leadership. 19:38.750 --> 19:40.510 He split the wood for the burnt off, 19:40.670 --> 19:42.190 and then he got up and went to the place 19:42.190 --> 19:43.550 which God had told him. 19:45.090 --> 19:46.370 On the third day of travel, 19:46.510 --> 19:49.010 Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 19:49.810 --> 19:51.410 So that's a type, you know, 19:51.590 --> 19:53.730 of Jesus dying and being raised from the dead. 19:53.850 --> 19:55.530 The third day counts for something here. 19:55.530 --> 19:57.930 And Abraham said to his servants, 19:58.410 --> 20:00.030 settle down and stay here with the donkey. 20:00.610 --> 20:01.850 Stay here with the ministry. 20:02.050 --> 20:04.930 Stay here and just watch over everything. 20:05.930 --> 20:09.490 The young man and I will go over there and worship God. 20:09.650 --> 20:11.390 And we will come back to you. 20:13.230 --> 20:15.510 So he knew that Isaac is the promise. 20:16.230 --> 20:23.670 But part of a phrase here is the end of verse 2, 20:23.670 --> 20:25.270 when it says go to the region of Moriah 20:25.270 --> 20:27.690 and offer him there. 20:29.130 --> 20:30.250 Offer him there. 20:30.710 --> 20:33.130 The first thing that we think is what happened with Isaac 20:33.130 --> 20:34.210 is he was taken up the hill 20:34.210 --> 20:36.870 and he was supposed to be killing him, right? 20:37.250 --> 20:38.730 Well, because he's a human being, 20:38.950 --> 20:40.650 how else do you offer him to God? 20:43.090 --> 20:44.810 How often do you take the promise 20:44.810 --> 20:48.150 and you're saying, I'm going to sacrifice it, 20:48.190 --> 20:51.330 also means I'm offering the whole thing back to you. 20:51.330 --> 20:53.510 Here you go. Take the whole thing. 20:54.730 --> 20:57.190 So let's say your promise is something different. 20:57.390 --> 20:58.210 It's not a human. 20:58.670 --> 21:00.710 Your promise is something in your ministry 21:00.710 --> 21:01.850 or something like that. 21:02.390 --> 21:05.330 You don't even have a way like just to back off of it. 21:05.370 --> 21:07.490 I suppose you could kill it that way or whatever. 21:07.810 --> 21:10.090 But you're bringing it as an offering. 21:10.250 --> 21:13.530 You're bringing it to offer it back to him. 21:14.790 --> 21:16.930 Child dedication is very much like that. 21:17.850 --> 21:19.750 You have promised me this child. 21:19.750 --> 21:23.450 We receive it and now I give the baby back to you. 21:23.870 --> 21:26.730 We'll steward the baby, but he's yours. 21:29.350 --> 21:29.850 Right? 21:30.490 --> 21:31.630 There's an offering. 21:32.470 --> 21:34.630 So sometimes we get hung on the fact that, you know, 21:34.670 --> 21:35.950 I don't know if I could kill my son 21:35.950 --> 21:37.550 and all the stuff that happened in this story. 21:37.830 --> 21:40.030 It's not just about a person 21:40.030 --> 21:42.130 and your promise of your destiny, 21:42.290 --> 21:44.470 your promise of how you're made of, 21:44.590 --> 21:46.730 the thing that you would be bringing there. 21:46.910 --> 21:48.030 You're literally saying, 21:49.150 --> 21:51.270 let's say that you went to school for something, 21:51.390 --> 21:54.110 that you thought you were going to be in a certain zone 21:54.110 --> 21:56.310 or whatever, and God called you to something different. 21:57.570 --> 21:59.330 But later he wants to include that, 21:59.430 --> 22:00.390 but you don't know that. 22:01.110 --> 22:03.350 And he's like, I want you to do this right now or whatever. 22:03.610 --> 22:06.350 You have to bring that thing as an offering. 22:06.510 --> 22:08.530 Like, I offered this over to you. 22:08.790 --> 22:09.830 I'm giving it back to you. 22:09.870 --> 22:10.950 I thought you gave it to me in this, 22:11.010 --> 22:11.770 what we're supposed to be doing. 22:12.010 --> 22:14.050 I'm offering this back to you. 22:14.270 --> 22:17.230 You have the heart that none of this belongs to me anyway. 22:19.110 --> 22:19.930 I'm a steward. 22:22.110 --> 22:24.050 None of this belongs to me anyway. 22:24.430 --> 22:26.470 And the things I've given back to God, 22:27.310 --> 22:27.930 ooh, it hurt. 22:29.430 --> 22:31.330 You know, and then I learned, 22:32.310 --> 22:34.050 there's almost always a ram 22:35.250 --> 22:36.870 that he replaces it with, 22:36.990 --> 22:39.450 or it takes me down an avenue 22:39.450 --> 22:41.150 that I think, well, that thing is so dead. 22:41.430 --> 22:42.290 Ten years later, 22:42.310 --> 22:45.030 that's the thing that helps me in a certain area. 22:45.310 --> 22:47.210 And that's why he told me to get that education. 22:47.210 --> 22:48.110 Or whatever it is. 22:48.270 --> 22:50.350 But there's this ten years space in between. 22:51.490 --> 22:52.850 I didn't see that. 22:53.850 --> 22:55.550 But I gave it back to him. 22:56.410 --> 22:59.010 And then he said, here's how I want to use you in this. 23:00.110 --> 23:00.330 Right? 23:00.970 --> 23:03.730 Truly, truly, here it is. 23:04.070 --> 23:05.090 I'm making a way for you. 23:06.010 --> 23:09.450 And so there's something to that in that attitude 23:09.450 --> 23:10.730 when we're bringing things. 23:11.270 --> 23:12.970 We're bringing our destiny. 23:13.270 --> 23:14.770 We're bringing it before him. 23:14.770 --> 23:15.890 And literally saying, 23:16.070 --> 23:17.770 let's say my destiny, 23:18.090 --> 23:19.350 offer the whole thing to him. 23:23.170 --> 23:24.290 Here you go. 23:24.510 --> 23:25.430 I'm giving it back to you. 23:26.370 --> 23:29.230 You do with it what you want to do. 23:30.170 --> 23:31.550 Rearrange me, do whatever. 23:32.470 --> 23:34.470 But I know you're supplying 23:34.470 --> 23:36.370 because you promised this to me. 23:37.030 --> 23:39.330 But if certain parts of it don't come back to me, 23:39.570 --> 23:40.550 they don't come back to me. 23:42.670 --> 23:43.950 You want to use them later? 23:43.950 --> 23:44.930 Use them later. 23:45.090 --> 23:46.770 But my attitude is 23:47.410 --> 23:49.090 I'm offering this over to you. 23:50.270 --> 23:52.390 Because if we don't have that attitude, 23:53.070 --> 23:55.170 then we thought it was ours the whole time. 23:56.350 --> 23:57.930 We thought we produced it. 24:00.690 --> 24:01.570 Hard to do that, 24:01.930 --> 24:03.710 not think that when you have a kid. 24:04.310 --> 24:05.830 It's like, actually it came out of my body, 24:05.870 --> 24:07.410 so I produced it. 24:07.710 --> 24:08.870 But when you give it back to God, 24:08.990 --> 24:11.570 it's like this child never belonged to me to begin with. 24:15.240 --> 24:16.900 You're the creator. You're the one 24:16.900 --> 24:18.420 made him grow in my stomach. 24:18.420 --> 24:21.440 And the whole process gave me the right to do this. 24:21.660 --> 24:22.260 You're the one. 24:22.500 --> 24:24.800 What it is, is a sign of giving 24:24.800 --> 24:27.840 everything back is really the ultimate honor. 24:28.360 --> 24:30.660 It's the ultimate like it's all about you. 24:31.140 --> 24:32.520 I'm not going to the wrong mountain 24:32.520 --> 24:34.360 because I'm going to the one you shall tell me. 24:34.760 --> 24:37.160 I'm not going to step out and do this or that 24:37.160 --> 24:38.680 unless you shall tell me. 24:38.960 --> 24:40.880 I offer even the promise, 24:41.040 --> 24:42.480 the very precious thing 24:43.060 --> 24:44.980 that my whole life is built around. 24:45.320 --> 24:46.960 The name Abraham is built around. 24:47.220 --> 24:49.520 I'm giving it back to you. 24:49.600 --> 24:51.780 The attitude of the heart is it's all yours. 24:51.960 --> 24:53.080 It was yours to begin with. 24:53.900 --> 24:57.200 You're the beginning and it'll be yours in the end. 24:57.900 --> 24:59.420 And all glory will go to you. 25:03.360 --> 25:04.180 Oh man. 25:05.140 --> 25:07.840 He's bringing us toward that kind of thinking. 25:08.480 --> 25:09.860 In the last days especially, 25:10.140 --> 25:11.680 we've been in the last days for a bit. 25:12.160 --> 25:13.660 It was the last days when I was born. 25:15.560 --> 25:17.000 Days, right? 25:17.460 --> 25:18.600 But at the same time, 25:18.840 --> 25:20.240 we're getting closer and closer. 25:20.740 --> 25:22.280 Things are getting hotter and hotter. 25:22.820 --> 25:25.660 And this is a required attitude 25:26.320 --> 25:28.640 for sure for what's coming. 25:29.660 --> 25:31.680 We have to be at any time 25:31.680 --> 25:35.060 willing to just offer it up. 25:35.820 --> 25:37.100 Whatever it is he's asking. 25:37.480 --> 25:37.820 Here you go. 25:38.480 --> 25:40.060 Our finances, our time, 25:40.680 --> 25:42.060 our emotional state. 25:42.060 --> 25:45.300 I'll set me to the side and put more emotions for this person. 25:45.820 --> 25:48.360 I will offer this to you 25:48.360 --> 25:51.040 in the place that you shall tell me. 25:53.460 --> 25:54.680 This is what he's after. 25:56.720 --> 25:59.300 You can't do that on your own even on your best day. 26:01.400 --> 26:02.620 Even on your best day. 26:03.340 --> 26:05.760 Sometimes I have those days where I feel like this good day. 26:06.580 --> 26:07.780 Like you're at your best. 26:08.660 --> 26:10.420 And your best is so lame compared to him. 26:11.240 --> 26:13.820 But it's one of those things where 26:14.680 --> 26:17.060 we're giving it all over to him. 26:17.620 --> 26:19.420 And then once you've given it to him, 26:19.500 --> 26:20.560 what he gives us back, 26:20.760 --> 26:22.440 how he wants to operate that or whatever. 26:22.820 --> 26:24.040 We gave him all control. 26:24.940 --> 26:26.920 We gave him all honor. 26:27.440 --> 26:29.020 We gave him everything 26:30.340 --> 26:31.820 that was promised to us. 26:31.960 --> 26:35.060 Because he will take a promise many times and we regulate it. 26:35.320 --> 26:36.260 Well, this is how it's going to go. 26:36.800 --> 26:38.740 You know, I'm going to have a house like this 26:38.740 --> 26:41.360 and I'm going to, and I'm going to, and I'm going to. 26:41.380 --> 26:42.380 We forgot to ask him. 26:44.760 --> 26:46.140 He's the one who gave us the promise. 26:46.580 --> 26:48.620 But when you have to head up the mountain 26:48.620 --> 26:50.880 and make it an offering to him, 26:51.240 --> 26:52.660 really what you're saying is 26:52.660 --> 26:54.280 anything you want, yours. 26:56.500 --> 26:56.860 Anything. 26:58.120 --> 26:58.720 The promise. 26:59.040 --> 26:59.800 The one I love. 27:00.640 --> 27:01.660 The thing I love. 27:01.760 --> 27:03.600 The thing that's built into me 27:03.600 --> 27:05.840 and was built into me in my mother's womb. 27:07.000 --> 27:09.120 I'm willing to give it all. 27:10.300 --> 27:11.140 See it? 27:12.900 --> 27:15.240 We can only truly see that spiritually. 27:16.980 --> 27:19.880 And saying it to your frontal lobes 27:19.880 --> 27:22.580 will register as behavioral modification. 27:23.440 --> 27:24.900 So, that's a good idea. 27:25.080 --> 27:25.740 We should do that. 27:26.440 --> 27:26.700 Right? 27:27.740 --> 27:29.620 And it's, and whatever we do, 27:29.880 --> 27:31.700 it'll modify our behavior. 27:32.300 --> 27:32.880 No? 27:33.680 --> 27:34.720 This is a heart change. 27:35.680 --> 27:36.860 This is a heart change. 27:37.040 --> 27:38.800 And when we've gone through something tough 27:38.800 --> 27:40.860 we think we have given it all. 27:42.200 --> 27:44.160 Sometimes we've gone through tough stuff 27:44.160 --> 27:44.780 and suffered. 27:46.820 --> 27:49.060 But we didn't give everything over to him. 27:49.400 --> 27:50.140 We just suffered. 27:50.700 --> 27:51.400 It was tough stuff. 27:51.920 --> 27:52.500 For real. 27:53.100 --> 27:54.040 Yeah, I acknowledge. 27:54.420 --> 27:54.860 Things hurt. 27:55.320 --> 27:55.740 Tears come. 27:56.700 --> 27:57.820 But I'm talking about 27:57.820 --> 27:59.860 giving over that the ultimate 27:59.860 --> 28:01.440 honor is yours. 28:02.520 --> 28:04.580 And I'll even help you. 28:06.180 --> 28:07.300 I'm bringing the wood. 28:07.700 --> 28:08.640 I'm bringing the fire. 28:09.120 --> 28:09.940 I'll get this thing ready. 28:10.040 --> 28:11.100 I'll have the servants come. 28:11.320 --> 28:13.120 I bring the special knife to do this. 28:13.360 --> 28:16.220 I'm gonna do all the works part of it 28:16.220 --> 28:18.940 because I know I'm bringing 28:18.940 --> 28:21.080 to give it all over to you. 28:22.320 --> 28:24.920 And a big part of the test is your will. 28:28.020 --> 28:30.020 That's why when you make a commitment 28:30.020 --> 28:33.040 you say I will to do something 28:33.040 --> 28:34.400 or I will not. 28:36.260 --> 28:38.860 The offering affects our will. 28:40.080 --> 28:42.920 The offering test is about our will. 28:43.600 --> 28:45.620 You know where we'll say I would do this 28:45.620 --> 28:47.540 or I will do this but I won't do that. 28:48.100 --> 28:50.040 And God's like actually I want it all. 28:50.640 --> 28:52.320 I want the all of your promise. 28:52.800 --> 28:55.400 I want the all of what your name stands for. 28:56.320 --> 28:57.420 I want it all. 29:00.020 --> 29:03.760 And you're gonna prepare to make sure that happens. 29:04.300 --> 29:05.320 You're gonna gather the wood. 29:07.260 --> 29:08.940 You're gonna bring the fire. 29:10.340 --> 29:11.880 You're gonna set it all up 29:11.880 --> 29:13.880 because that's part of the test. 29:14.060 --> 29:15.720 And you're gonna go to the place 29:16.360 --> 29:17.440 I will tell you. 29:18.940 --> 29:21.360 It's gonna take some training to do that. 29:21.520 --> 29:22.780 It's gonna take some training but 29:22.780 --> 29:24.440 part of our will is not 29:24.980 --> 29:26.760 learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. 29:27.180 --> 29:27.660 Okay. 29:27.660 --> 29:30.800 But then I will is a gear shifter in your brain. 29:31.300 --> 29:32.780 It's literally where you say 29:32.780 --> 29:34.400 well we just shifted. 29:35.860 --> 29:35.880 Right. 29:36.540 --> 29:38.860 And that means you're gonna be in motion of. 29:39.300 --> 29:40.500 That means faith is alive 29:40.500 --> 29:42.120 and you're sure about this. 29:42.280 --> 29:44.060 But you're giving it all over to him 29:44.060 --> 29:45.320 and you're shifting. 29:45.940 --> 29:48.520 There's movement toward where we're going. 29:49.580 --> 29:53.140 We don't get stuck in debating about this. 29:54.000 --> 29:55.520 We're headed towards the mountain 29:55.520 --> 29:57.300 that he shall tell us. 29:58.780 --> 30:00.640 I don't know when that's going to 30:00.640 --> 30:02.160 take place. 30:02.740 --> 30:05.220 There's a whole journey that comes before that 30:05.220 --> 30:06.940 but spiritually over this church 30:06.940 --> 30:10.200 there's a place he's taking us to 30:10.200 --> 30:11.120 in the spirit. 30:13.080 --> 30:15.100 That's gotta be the one he says. 30:15.780 --> 30:16.860 How he says it. 30:17.240 --> 30:19.280 And on the way we're carrying everything 30:19.280 --> 30:21.880 to give him everything we are. 30:22.980 --> 30:24.160 Give it back to him. 30:26.910 --> 30:28.330 That's the test of the heart 30:28.890 --> 30:30.070 that we're in right now. 30:30.110 --> 30:30.570 Let's stand. 30:31.990 --> 30:32.510 Hallelujah. 30:34.030 --> 30:34.930 Praise you. 30:36.990 --> 30:38.010 Praise you Jesus. 30:43.710 --> 30:45.770 For some of you it's going to take 30:45.770 --> 30:47.770 even though it's watching online 30:47.770 --> 30:49.270 or that aren't here this morning 30:49.270 --> 30:50.310 but watch this later 30:50.850 --> 30:52.730 it's going to take God 30:52.730 --> 30:55.570 to even just help you plant the tamarind tree. 30:56.090 --> 30:57.970 Even if you made the oath and you made 30:57.970 --> 31:00.270 the covenant and that was painful 31:00.270 --> 31:02.170 and why do I have to do this and whatever 31:02.710 --> 31:04.450 it's going to take a lot to plant 31:04.450 --> 31:06.010 that tree and watch over it. 31:08.710 --> 31:10.270 It's going to take a changed heart. 31:11.390 --> 31:13.770 But if that part of the heart doesn't change 31:13.770 --> 31:15.550 you won't have what it takes 31:15.550 --> 31:17.550 to go to the mountain he tells you. 31:20.290 --> 31:22.090 We have to do this first part 31:22.090 --> 31:23.190 and complete it. 31:23.610 --> 31:25.310 It'll always be work in progress 31:25.310 --> 31:27.010 but I'm talking about the big chunks of it 31:27.010 --> 31:30.050 complete settling things in your life 31:30.050 --> 31:32.070 because then he's going to say 31:32.070 --> 31:33.590 now after these things 31:35.110 --> 31:37.050 now after that your story will say 31:37.050 --> 31:38.870 now after these things that they settled 31:40.850 --> 31:42.330 they're headed up to the mountain 31:43.010 --> 31:44.290 I'm telling them to go to 31:45.050 --> 31:46.710 and they're bringing the sacrifice. 31:48.410 --> 31:49.770 Father we praise you. 31:50.610 --> 31:52.910 We praise you Lord God we thank you 31:52.910 --> 31:55.310 let's have the band come just get in position 31:56.290 --> 31:58.150 we thank you Lord God for 31:59.090 --> 32:00.490 insight and wisdom 32:00.490 --> 32:02.870 these concepts have to go past 32:02.870 --> 32:05.290 our frontal lobes and to the heart 32:05.290 --> 32:06.830 they have to 32:07.690 --> 32:09.890 come past that there has to be 32:09.890 --> 32:11.110 training and teaching 32:11.110 --> 32:13.650 even on repentance and even on 32:13.650 --> 32:15.150 what is a sacrifice 32:15.150 --> 32:16.870 and how do I prepare the wood 32:16.870 --> 32:18.470 all of those different things 32:18.470 --> 32:20.730 we're going to need to research 32:20.730 --> 32:23.010 we're going to need to be at Mariah 32:23.010 --> 32:43.110 Yeah, for a little bit here. And take everything we already know. Take everything that we've already learned and bring it to that place till we head to the mountain, he says. Jesus. 32:47.580 --> 32:57.220 The fear of the Lord that goes with this is at any time any of us can just opt out of participating. 33:00.110 --> 33:10.250 It isn't that the church will make this happen. Your individual destiny tied into the faith of moving ahead will make this happen. 33:11.650 --> 33:18.750 Whether you're here or you're not, he's still going to require a tree. He's still going to require things to be settled. 33:18.750 --> 33:31.110 He's still going to call your name and you have to show up the all of you. And then when all of you is standing there, he gives you the next instructions. 33:31.590 --> 33:40.310 And now, after all these things, here comes the test. It's the test of the heart that divides good from evil. 33:40.310 --> 33:52.470 It's the test of the heart that makes pure motives come out and the dross that needs to be drained out, just leave. It's the test of the heart. 33:54.650 --> 34:03.630 What's exciting about this is he doesn't do that unless something super naturally, super big is coming. 34:05.070 --> 34:17.570 When he is requiring the all of you, it's not for some little piddly thing. It's for something big. We're moving into the time of revival. 34:20.150 --> 34:23.330 Thank you, Lord Jesus. Let's pray in the spirit for a little bit here. 34:36.510 --> 34:45.710 Somebody here and some peoples have been asked to create something new. It's been stirring in your heart. It's been stirring. You might be online. You might be here. 34:46.150 --> 34:54.230 It's more than one person. There's something that's coming up and it's something you haven't seen role model before or done before. 34:54.490 --> 35:01.410 It's a new idea. It's a new thing that you know you can reach people. For Christ, you can help benefit families through this. 35:02.050 --> 35:12.210 Creative, creative, creative ideas. Go to the place of Mariah, the place of teaching. Go to the right mountain. 35:13.550 --> 35:23.350 Let it be birthed in you and then bring it as a sacrifice. He'll show the way. He'll show you where the ram is. 35:36.490 --> 35:42.990 There's someone here this morning that has gone through your mind like, wow, these people are really serious. 35:43.150 --> 35:55.330 Maybe you've only come a few times or whatever or you're watching online. They're very serious. You don't need to be that serious about the things of God. 35:56.670 --> 36:00.090 I'm going to say something right to the camera. I'm going to say something very bold. 36:01.130 --> 36:09.290 I would go to God and check your heart. I would go to God and check your heart of the importance that you believe. 36:10.190 --> 36:17.330 How important is he to you? Where are you at with him? Because to even have that thought makes me question salvation. 36:17.770 --> 36:22.290 It makes me question knowing him. It makes me question where you're at. 36:23.550 --> 36:29.650 He is the all in all. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is your beginning and your end. 36:29.830 --> 36:36.610 He is the one who has your life in his hands. He is calling you by name. He's calling you. 36:38.710 --> 36:45.150 Be serious about it. Be serious about it. Show up with the all of you. 37:07.530 --> 37:07.990 Life change. 37:07.990 --> 37:11.610 If you have the thought, for those of you who have the thought, I've always wanted to. 37:12.750 --> 37:17.370 I'm not talking about crazy stuff. I'm talking about in the area of the kingdom of God. 37:17.550 --> 37:23.390 I've always wanted to participate in this. I've always wanted to lay hands on the sick so that they might recover. 37:23.550 --> 37:27.530 I've always wanted to do that. That's not your thoughts. 37:27.930 --> 37:32.550 That's a desire that God put in you while you are knit together in your mother's womb. 37:32.730 --> 37:41.110 And he's awakening it right now. I don't know who I'm speaking to, but I'm speaking to it. 37:41.110 --> 37:46.630 He's awakening it right now. Don't leave it in the category I always wanted to. 37:46.770 --> 37:52.870 Go to Mariah and get your teaching. Go submit under somebody who's already doing that thing. 37:53.890 --> 38:02.370 Get there. Get up from your depression. Get up out of anything that's holding you down. 38:02.610 --> 38:06.490 And head toward that place of promise. 38:18.810 --> 38:28.790 We pray in unknown tongues. It edifies our spirit. It makes us stronger to lean toward the things of the spirit and not our flesh. 38:35.170 --> 38:41.090 There's a crossover mark that some of you are on where you've got to cross over. 38:41.090 --> 38:44.350 You've got to come out the same old thing, doing it the same way. 38:44.430 --> 38:50.250 You've got to step over the line and go to a different place, a new place in Him. 38:55.870 --> 39:04.190 Je ne d'ai bré qu'est ce n'a, n'a y'a r'a m'a n'a li'a si'a li'a. Je n'a li'a ch'a r'a n'a r'a m'a si'a li'a. 39:05.670 --> 39:08.530 Someone's watching or here that has said, 39:09.410 --> 39:10.970 Well, I've never seen miracles. 39:12.950 --> 39:14.550 Well, I've never seen miracles. 39:18.750 --> 39:22.150 I think they're just all talk. I just think that doesn't happen. 39:22.610 --> 39:29.750 You sitting in your depression, you surrounding yourself with all the dross that we were talking about. 39:29.870 --> 39:33.730 You're surrounding yourself in that way. You're not going to see miracles. 39:35.310 --> 39:38.510 Get up out of the thing that's holding you down. 39:38.510 --> 39:40.990 Get up out. Use your faith to say, 39:41.010 --> 39:44.270 I am going after the things of God. You'll see miracles. 39:46.690 --> 39:49.250 You'll see miracles, but you need to be in motion. 39:50.410 --> 39:52.930 When you're a victim, it makes everything else a bully. 39:53.390 --> 39:56.810 When you're a victim, it makes cancer a bully. I'm not a victim. 39:58.870 --> 39:59.690 Neither are you. 40:00.850 --> 40:04.330 I don't know who that one's for either, but that's what was coming to me. 40:07.910 --> 40:09.910 This is the day of salvation. 40:12.090 --> 40:14.190 This is the day of salvation. 40:15.050 --> 40:17.610 The word salvation means to take the limits off. 40:17.910 --> 40:20.290 The limits can come off your life today. 40:23.450 --> 40:25.330 Today, he's here right now. 40:36.230 --> 40:38.350 It's just coming to me to address it. 40:38.410 --> 40:45.850 It might not fit anybody here. It might be online, but I am speaking to the cycle of addiction. 40:46.570 --> 40:52.850 And everybody many times will think heroin, cocaine, but I'm speaking to the cycle of addiction. 40:53.990 --> 40:57.770 You can have a cycle of addiction. You're addicted to cutting yourself down. 40:58.270 --> 41:01.550 It doesn't have to be a drug. It doesn't have to be something like that. 41:01.550 --> 41:07.290 There is a cycle of addiction that is harassing some people. 41:10.970 --> 41:15.090 It's harassing. It's poking the bear in you. 41:16.150 --> 41:20.430 It's causing a throwing off. It's causing the feeling of like, 41:20.670 --> 41:23.570 wait, I've been free from drugs. I've been free from these different things. 41:23.870 --> 41:27.250 Then why does this cycle keep speaking to me? 41:29.770 --> 41:32.690 I pray right now that God will give you revelation knowledge, 41:32.690 --> 41:37.090 that you will press into the truth, to the place of Mariah, to the place of teaching. 41:38.310 --> 41:42.270 I pray for you to be loose free from that cycle. 41:42.550 --> 41:47.050 From the thing that is harassing you. I pray right now in Jesus' name. 41:50.490 --> 41:54.030 Stop. Stop it. Stop it. 41:55.150 --> 41:57.730 They are free to move on. They're free to make choices. 41:57.970 --> 42:01.210 They're free to move into the new things you have. 42:01.310 --> 42:05.430 They're free to plant the tamarind tree. They're free to do that. 42:07.470 --> 42:11.730 So I want to say this, and it might seem odd if it doesn't apply to you. 42:13.090 --> 42:16.910 I give you permission to leave the cycle. 42:18.630 --> 42:22.770 I give you permission to walk right out of that cycle. 42:22.770 --> 42:26.890 To divorce that cycle. To not pay attention to that cycle. 42:27.110 --> 42:29.250 You need to know that you have permission. 42:30.370 --> 42:33.370 As someone who has authority in the name of Jesus, 42:33.790 --> 42:38.030 I am giving you permission to be loose free from your present spot 42:38.030 --> 42:42.170 and walk right out the door. Abandon that cycle. 42:43.330 --> 42:46.070 Father, I pray that they become so aware of what it is 42:46.070 --> 42:48.030 that just hangs itself out all over. 42:48.210 --> 42:50.290 When they look in the mirror, they'll know if it's present. 42:50.290 --> 42:54.210 So that they can divorce the thing and be fed up with it. 42:54.330 --> 42:57.450 Be done with it. This cycle. The way of thinking. 42:57.690 --> 43:00.930 Stop it. In the name of Jesus. 43:04.370 --> 43:07.990 Let's raise our hands before Him as a sign of just like, you know, 43:08.270 --> 43:13.090 and it's by choice, but as we raise our hands before you, Lord God, 43:13.250 --> 43:16.870 it's a sign of surrender that whatever it is you want to do today, 43:16.870 --> 43:20.450 wherever you want to take us, wherever it's your mountain, 43:20.830 --> 43:22.970 whatever you tell us to do, it's your thing. 43:23.310 --> 43:28.130 Lord, we just, we surrender. This is a sign of surrender to you. 43:28.990 --> 43:31.550 We're tired of being Lord. You be Lord. 43:32.590 --> 43:35.650 We're tired of being in charge of our little stuff. 43:36.130 --> 43:39.770 You're in charge. We give you all glory and honor. 43:39.890 --> 43:41.570 Then we do just what you say to do. 43:42.630 --> 43:45.290 You're in charge. You are Lord. 43:46.130 --> 43:50.150 We surrender. We surrender this service to you. 43:50.490 --> 43:53.590 This time to you. In the mighty name of Jesus.
