This podcast is for those not looking for temporary relief to change circumstance but

00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:19,360
revelation to forever change lives.

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:25,640
Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Keep It 100 with Sean and Christa Smith.

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,200
It's your boy Sean.

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,200
My favorite.

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,480
Hey, we're so excited to be with you.

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,520
We have a unique episode before we dive into the topic and I'm going to break down kind

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,160
of what that looks like for today's episode.

11
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,160
But we have some really fun highlights that we just kind of want to share with you guys

12
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:43,200
of what we've been up to since we were together last.

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,200
Yes.

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,560
One of the things is that we went across the pond.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,880
Everybody went to the UK, went to London.

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,640
We were able to do a conference over there for our great friend, Tomi Ariomi.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,320
And we were with the Feather Stones, which are great pastors over there.

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,800
We're a phenomenal church.

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,800
Yeah, amazing people.

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,640
And the conference was so fun.

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,760
We saw God do some just some powerful things.

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,360
We got a chance to get over and take pictures in front of Big Ben, went down the Tams River.

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,360
That's how they would say it.

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,240
I would say it phonetically, Thames, but they don't pronounce their H's.

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,400
And it was so cool because up and down that little Tams River, it's kind of for us like

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,360
Pier 39 in San Francisco.

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Yeah, it is.

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,880
And so we got some great food over there, hung out, saw some sites and it's just so cool

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,480
because although we speak the same language, we don't.

30
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,640
Yeah, it's a totally different world over there.

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,920
And you know, it's cool because I've been exposed to UK culture for years, ministered

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,040
in Ireland and different places around the UK, but never myself in London actually ministered.

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,360
So that was my first time.

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,880
And I just kind of prepared myself for a little bit more quiet congregation, not super interactive

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,880
or responsive.

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,800
And I found quite the opposite.

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:56,600
I was like shocked of how fiery this remnant group has really gathered in London and we

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,120
really are seeing it around the world.

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,880
And it's so exciting because I feel like people are going beyond cultural norms and they're

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,480
tapping into kingdom.

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,320
And there's this really beautiful hunger that is across the board that we're seeing no

42
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,160
matter where we go, no matter what country, no matter what congregation, people are not

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,840
staying in the boxes anymore.

44
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,680
I feel like people are shattering boxes.

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,520
Yeah, they were definitely not lethargic.

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,520
They were lit.

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,520
They were lit.

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,000
They were so fiery, packed out.

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,480
All the meetings were powerful, just the prophetic, just the healing.

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,480
It was so cool.

51
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,960
We got a chance to stay at a nice little inn that you got to just eat a good meal together

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,960
there.

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,960
It was fun.

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Look out over kind of, I don't know, a pastor, a golf course or something out there was a

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,320
field.

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,320
So it was, it was, it was cool.

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,360
We got a chance to get some good food there.

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,000
And it was just a great time.

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It was amazing.

60
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,480
It just felt like we did our assignment.

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,760
And then I came home right after that, jumped right into a Bethel women's conference called

62
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,760
wonder this year.

63
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,960
And Havala, who's just an amazing woman of God, I just so love what she carries.

64
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,040
She invited myself, Elisa Bavir, and then a ton of women that are on Bethel staff that

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,720
are just powerhouses in their own right.

66
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,680
I mean, they're, each of them could be like carrying a conference.

67
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,280
They're just incredible women of God.

68
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,000
And there was probably like 10 of us that were speaking that they had the day sessions

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,960
and I had a two of the night sessions and it was incredible.

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:22,000
I mean, I, I felt like we had a freedom in the room during my session that was just special.

71
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,760
It was so unique.

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,520
I feel like what God is doing with women is, it really is the word special.

73
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,520
It's just different and it feels like such an honor just to be able to witness God raising

74
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,120
up women in the sour.

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,840
And there was a roar and a sound and a release and a freedom that I have not seen hit a room

76
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,840
before.

77
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,360
That was just incredible.

78
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,280
I really feel marked and changed from that gathering at wonder.

79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,680
And so I came home raving about it to Sean.

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,720
It was like, I always want him at everything with me.

81
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,520
Well, even before you did, I, we have so many great friends up in Bethel, Redding.

82
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,520
They were hitting me up.

83
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,640
I was in Huntsville, Texas, reaching out to university students.

84
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,200
And so they were hitting me up and just talking about how your session, God just came down,

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,200
blew it up.

86
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,440
If you guys want to go to Christa's Instagram account, Ms. Christa Smith, you're going to

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,440
see some clips if you go back and it was just amazing.

88
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,440
There was a point in time where the women just erupted and just went straight wild.

89
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,760
It was, it was, it was awesome.

90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,760
It was awesome.

91
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,480
And then I loved as I was ministering in Bethel, you were down, like you said, in Huntsville,

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,040
Texas with all these college students.

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,480
And there was like, what, you guys stayed till midnight.

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,760
There was like Holy Ghost breakout.

95
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,680
There was legit deliverances.

96
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,920
Tons of students got saved.

97
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080
I mean, you had radical services.

98
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,080
It was so powerful.

99
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,080
It was powerful.

100
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,200
And then there was Eli and Mary Gautreau down there and Colin, Jason, all those guys that

101
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,840
are doing a great job down there.

102
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:49,720
I think we had one night where 25, 30 kids got saved and we had a night where that many

103
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,800
or more were baptized in the Holy Ghost.

104
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,720
We see the heavenly language the first time.

105
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,280
So it was truly awesome.

106
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:58,400
You know, so be encouraged, you guys, as you're hearing these testimonies, this is, and I

107
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,040
was just sharing like, oh, this has just happened to happening.

108
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,320
This is like, this is what's available.

109
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,360
This is what God's doing all over.

110
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,600
So grab these testimonies because we always believe that the testimony of Jesus' spirit

111
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,560
of prophecy, meaning we're prophesying to you what's available right now.

112
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,840
There is just a Holy Ghost outpouring that's happening all over.

113
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:21,160
And so we want you guys to grab that for wherever you call home because we believe more is available.

114
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaking of more.

115
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Also, another great announcement, you guys.

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,360
We're going to have another momentum night.

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,800
We did one about a month ago.

118
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,960
It was amazing.

119
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,960
We had a capacity crowd.

120
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,880
400 people show up on two weeks.

121
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,320
I think we talked about two weeks notice, but we're doing another momentum night for

122
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,160
those of you that missed the last one.

123
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160
It's going to be May 12th at 7pm.

124
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,240
It's going to be a Sequoia Community Church.

125
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,920
You can look up the address, but it's 4292 Keller Avenue in Oakland and we are super

126
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,920
excited.

127
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,200
And so we kind of are going to follow up that last night of fire and we're calling hungry

128
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,640
believers, revivalists, reformers.

129
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,120
We're calling the unsaved to come and join us for round two.

130
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,440
And we really believe that if we come together, that God is already at work in the Bay and

131
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,360
it's just us coming together, coming in agreement for a move of God because we all know we

132
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,880
just need a movement.

133
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,240
And so you can need to join us for this momentum night.

134
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,440
Again, it is going to be May 12th, Friday night at 7pm.

135
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,440
Come join us Bay area and NorCal.

136
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,440
And that's right.

137
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,720
And we always say to you guys, get in the room.

138
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,720
If you're able to get in the room, there's something about when you're in the room with

139
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,600
the Holy Ghost, it is just different.

140
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,160
It hits differently.

141
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,660
It transforms you differently.

142
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:31,660
So get in the room.

143
00:06:31,660 --> 00:06:34,400
If you know anyone in the Bay area, if you live in the Bay area, show up.

144
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,400
It's free.

145
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,400
No registration.

146
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Just come.

147
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Bring your mom, bring your friends, bring your family, bring your neighbors, bring them

148
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,480
all because the Holy Ghost is about to break out.

149
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120
And we're just continuing for a move of God and we're beginning to see it.

150
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,120
So join us May 12th.

151
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,120
Okay.

152
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Are we ready?

153
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Let's go.

154
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Okay.

155
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,120
So this is kind of fun.

156
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,120
I propose this idea to Sean.

157
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,960
I just have been wanting to interview Sean for a while because he has one of the most powerful

158
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,960
stories.

159
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,280
And he's my husband, so I get a front row seat to do this man of God every day.

160
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,960
And he truly is one of the most Christ-like people I know.

161
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,180
He constantly challenges me with his walk with God.

162
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:09,480
He walks in such an integrity.

163
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,320
He walks in such a deep conviction for the things of God, but he also walks in a sincere

164
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,960
joy and a peace that is truly unrattled.

165
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:25,560
I have seen my husband face incredibly difficult situations and moments in life and he just

166
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,560
stays steadfast in things of God.

167
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,360
And I'm always asking him questions because I always want to be a student and I want to

168
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,480
learn from people that walk deeper in areas that I want to walk deeper in.

169
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:41,520
So I'm going to talk to my husband about places that are hard and places that have been difficult

170
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,560
and places that have been really painful.

171
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,200
I think in today's world, let me open it up with this baby.

172
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:52,280
I think in today's world, we have a world that really focuses on people's pain and people

173
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:59,320
are very quick to share and sometimes overshare their pain and their trauma and their hardship.

174
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,520
And I do appreciate vulnerability and I encourage vulnerability.

175
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:08,080
I want people to feel like they can be transparent and be totally open with their hardships.

176
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,600
But as a believer in Christ, I always have questions on how to walk through the hardships.

177
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,240
But before we get through the how to walk through, I know your life.

178
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,700
You don't know all the questions that I'm going to ask you today.

179
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:25,720
But I want to come to you and I want to start talking to you because I know firsthand, you've

180
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,560
walked through a lot of trauma.

181
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,000
You've walked through a lot of hardship.

182
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,800
Baby, what would you say is one of the most difficult things you've ever had to walk through?

183
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,760
That is actually a very great question.

184
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,280
I think in my life, I look back, I had people walk out of my life in significant relationship.

185
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,240
I experienced the death of close ones.

186
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,240
I've had to deal with diseases that have plagued people that I love.

187
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,160
I think that there's several things that were very, very challenging for me.

188
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,440
And I think the thing that I really would sum it all up in is those areas where you

189
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,360
really can't help yourself.

190
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,720
Like it's a decision made by someone else.

191
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,720
Yeah.

192
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,000
When I was old enough to recognize my dad initially, of course, this is not how it ended, but

193
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,440
my dad initially chose to walk out on me.

194
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,840
So I think that was probably the first time, obviously someone significant that he had

195
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,160
got my mother pregnant and didn't want to be a dad, didn't want to be a husband.

196
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,760
And so he walked out.

197
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,800
And so that when I was old enough to kind of discover that I realized in retrospect,

198
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,560
it hit and affected me in a deeper place than I could articulate.

199
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:32,520
Cause when you're young, you don't know, you don't have all the terminology.

200
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,520
So I think that happened.

201
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,240
I've had relationships where people have walked out.

202
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,360
You know, I've had people that were emotionally non present, although maybe physically they've

203
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,520
been there.

204
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,640
My precious mom, she had so much she had to fight through.

205
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,760
She's going to be with the Lord.

206
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,720
So there was a period in time where she probably was not emotionally as present.

207
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Those of you that know my testimony, my grandmother was an alcoholic coming up.

208
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,240
So there was times during in which she was drunk and she was not emotionally available.

209
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,960
But when she was sober, she was very much available.

210
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,840
So it was kind of a, I describe it as kind of a Jekyll hide.

211
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,480
She was never abusive to me.

212
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,160
She was, she was an old school disciplinarian and she was very Southern black grandmother

213
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,240
ish in her upbringing, how she brought me up.

214
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,440
What I just think throughout my life rather was in high school with peer pressure, but

215
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:24,160
not really knowing who I am, my identity to, you know, just earlier relationships, failed

216
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,880
relationships, obviously before I met you.

217
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,080
And so I, when I put it together, it's those moments where either a disease or someone

218
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,200
making a decision where you don't have control.

219
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,600
I feel like I do better if I can have an element of control.

220
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,280
Now, obviously control is, it's a subjective word is very fluid.

221
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Not ultimately is in control, we're not in control, but things that I can make a decision

222
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,200
and I can shift and change.

223
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,280
There are things in life and I'm sure there are people that are listening that regardless

224
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,400
of what decision you may or may not have made, there are certain things in life that will

225
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,880
hit you square between the eyes and you just have to, you have to roll, you have to shift,

226
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:00,880
you have to adapt.

227
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,080
So those are probably the toughest things that have happened in my life.

228
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,440
So I hear you talking about the alcoholism, losing your grandma, your dad being murdered

229
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:16,280
and your dad initially walking out and just the consistency of just that trauma after

230
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,360
trauma after trauma.

231
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,440
And there's other things that you didn't even state, you know, that I know you've walked

232
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,440
through or whatever.

233
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,480
And I guess the question I would have that I think a lot of people listening would have

234
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:31,000
is we serve a God who's really good and we know logically in our brains, God is good,

235
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,120
but then you're going through things that aren't good.

236
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,400
How do you reconcile in the midst of trauma and pain that God is still good in pain and

237
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,400
suffering?

238
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,680
How do you, how do you stay in a place of God being good when it's like so hard?

239
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:47,320
There are two thoughts that I have on that.

240
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,320
The first thought is issue.

241
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,040
You have to get job descriptions correct.

242
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,280
If the, if the devil, the Bible says comes to kill, still and destroy, Jesus came that

243
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,440
you may have life and life more abundantly.

244
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,920
We pray the prayer Jesus taught us in the Lord's prayer may as well be done on earth as it

245
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,160
is in heaven.

246
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,360
Sometimes people think that because it happens, God did it or God purposed it.

247
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,960
And although I don't think anything can happen to a believer without God being able to redeem

248
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:12,960
it and use it.

249
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,360
And I'll talk about that in a moment.

250
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Not everything that happens to you is from the hand of God.

251
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,280
And I think until you understand that we've let people out of their pain rewrite our theology.

252
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:30,640
And we've let people who've had hurts and wounds and pains change God into kind of this

253
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,460
God that allows mean things to happen as if he would kind of torture his kids a little

254
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:37,800
bit to try to make them better followers.

255
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,800
That's not God at all.

256
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,840
And you have to understand there will be a time when God completely in terms of his

257
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,040
will being enforced over people.

258
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,920
And the Bible says that that time will be a new heaven and a new earth.

259
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,320
The Bible says there'll be no more wars, no more pain, no more killing, no more murder.

260
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,080
And we got to remember when Jesus, when God created the Garden of Eden, none of that was

261
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,080
there.

262
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,080
The serpent was there.

263
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,680
It was only when man partnered outside of the will of God with what the enemy wanted to

264
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:06,120
do that pain and suffering comes into the world.

265
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,480
And it's still the case today.

266
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,000
If we would come in agreement with God, there's so much that would be avoided.

267
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,880
And you have to understand we live in a fallen world.

268
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,280
We live in a senseic world where people make decisions that are not God.

269
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,400
If everyone lived the way Jesus lived, our world would be a completely different place.

270
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,920
All you got to do is read the Gospels and look at what Jesus did.

271
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:32,520
And if you find out Jesus was always destroying the works of the enemy and undoing what the

272
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:38,640
devil did, so if you see that, that is a clear theological depiction of who the father is.

273
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,240
So number one, this is so important and this always helps me is I got to stop and think,

274
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:49,080
God is good, but we live in a fallen world that displays what's bad.

275
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,880
But if we lean into God, there's always hope.

276
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,120
And that's the biggest thing.

277
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,440
So that leads me to the second thing that's huge.

278
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,880
And in fact, I even put this on social media and I say, you have, this is a lesson I've

279
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:00,880
learned gang.

280
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,640
You have to live your life as if what Jesus did for you is bigger than what they did to

281
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,640
you.

282
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,440
If you can live your life as if what Jesus did for you is bigger than what they did to

283
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,640
you, then the pain will never define you.

284
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,920
I'm not defined by pain.

285
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,760
I'm not defined by someone else's brokenness.

286
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,400
I've had betrayal.

287
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,400
You've had betrayal.

288
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,240
Everybody has had betrayal in their life.

289
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,880
I've had people say things about me that weren't true and some instances, some people, you

290
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,520
know, relatively close.

291
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:34,400
But in the midst of all of that, I say what Jesus did for me on the cross will never be

292
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,360
outdone by what they did to me.

293
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,680
So no matter how much, let's just say someone's throwing rocks at me, right?

294
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,360
I feel that rock hit my body.

295
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,600
I feel the pain of that.

296
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,320
I can see the bruise of that.

297
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,120
Maybe it's scarred me.

298
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Maybe it's broken skin or whatever.

299
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,920
Maybe it's knocked me down like the rocket me, but none of that is greater than when

300
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,640
Jesus puts me on my feet.

301
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,000
So when Jesus set me upon the rock, he put me on my feet.

302
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,360
When Jesus sets you on the rock, the rocks, they throw it.

303
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,120
You can't take you off your feet unless you let them.

304
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,120
And I just refuse.

305
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,200
And I think that understanding of what Jesus did for me is greater than what they did to

306
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,200
me.

307
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,920
It takes me out of victims mentality.

308
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,760
It takes me out of a victim circumstance and put me in a victor circle.

309
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,320
You know, like when you win them horse races, like when they do the big triple crown, they

310
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,320
get in a winner circle.

311
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,320
Right.

312
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,280
And I'm not going to be in a victim mentality.

313
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680
I'm going to be in a victor circle at the end of the day.

314
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,960
And then I also believe this, no matter how bad it gets, if Jesus is in the equation,

315
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,640
the upturn can begin the moment I acknowledge Jesus in my situation.

316
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,360
So things I think are really have been helpful.

317
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,240
His joy is greater than my pain.

318
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,200
And you have to focus on that.

319
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Because what you focus on at the end of the day, you allow greater access, you give greater

320
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,760
mental space to.

321
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,840
And in fact, your feelings will follow your optics.

322
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,480
And so if my optics are on the pain and how bad it is, then my feelings follow that before

323
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,560
I know what I've come underneath that instead of being above that.

324
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,680
Oh my goodness.

325
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,120
That's, that's a book.

326
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,640
I mean, that's profound, baby.

327
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,640
I love this.

328
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,320
So you're talking about, I just want to take that what you focus on even a step further

329
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,320
if that's okay.

330
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,040
Cause I think that that's such a powerful thing.

331
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040
Cause I've watched you receive bad news.

332
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:22,160
I've, I've watched you get the call that your mom is being rushed to the ER and she passed

333
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,160
away that night.

334
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,160
I was with you.

335
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,160
I was by your side in that moment.

336
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,800
I watched you worship, lean into God, pray.

337
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,640
What is the default setting within you that when you are literally slapped in the face

338
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:41,080
with the most unspeakable, unexpected blind siding pain, what's your default setting that

339
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,720
you just naturally tap into?

340
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,880
Cause I think what our default settings are is key.

341
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,040
It has to be like so practiced within us becomes instinct, right?

342
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Cause you can't really think clearly and highly emotional places and spaces.

343
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,360
And so there's something in our instinctual place that had, had to have been developed

344
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,200
before we get to the crisis.

345
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,080
You're practiced in this, you're disciplined in this.

346
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,400
What is those disciplines that you literally activate when the pain comes knocking on your

347
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,400
door?

348
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,920
I think some people run to Jesus when crisis comes, but if you stay in Jesus, you don't

349
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,320
have to run to Jesus.

350
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,680
You know, some people have the false philosophy is stay petty.

351
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,120
So you don't have to get petty.

352
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:22,880
My thing is stay in Jesus.

353
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,760
So you don't have to go back and get in Jesus when crisis comes.

354
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,400
But here's, I think, another fallacy.

355
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:34,040
I think a lot of people think that peace is the absence of pain and unmet needs and wants.

356
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,040
They think peace.

357
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,960
And so I want to say this way, peace is not the absence of unmet needs, pains and hurts,

358
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,880
but it's ability to give them the proper status, whatever pain, whatever setback, whatever

359
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,440
thing, give it the proper status in a way that it never drowns out the value of what

360
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,800
you already possess.

361
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,240
You possess Jesus living inside of you, which is heaven.

362
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,400
I don't have to wait till I die to get to heaven, although I believe there's an eternal

363
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,760
resting place called heaven, but I believe that Jesus presence in my soul gives me heaven

364
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,800
in the midst of hell.

365
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,800
So even David, the Psalmist can say in the 23rd Psalm, even though I walk through the

366
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,480
valley of the shadow of death, you are with me.

367
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,360
So what the David is Psalmist is saying, I'm in hell, but I got heaven in me.

368
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:18,320
So I never allow the pain I'm going through me to have an undue status report.

369
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,320
So the proper status is pain has a status, but it's not going to undo what I already

370
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,320
possess.

371
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,320
I possess Jesus.

372
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,640
And so I think you live in a place where you're constantly bringing your mind back to Jesus.

373
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,920
He's mind is stayed on the eskeptum perfect piece.

374
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,640
The prophet says it in the Old Testament.

375
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,360
So I keep my mind on Jesus.

376
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,640
And the other thing is that I think you have to stop.

377
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,280
I know different people look at this differently.

378
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,960
I would say this is that I know what it's like to not have Jesus in my life.

379
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,520
I know what it's like to be depressed out of your gourd to where you wanted to in your

380
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,080
life and then for Jesus to show up and supernaturally.

381
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,800
So I say this, I say my absolute worst day as a believer is infinitely greater than my

382
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,000
best life as an unbeliever.

383
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,360
And I feel like some people for themselves, the luxury that in the back of their head,

384
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:07,160
if it gets too bad, I could go back to what I was doomed to for Jesus.

385
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,280
I burn that plow.

386
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,840
So that option is not there.

387
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,200
So no matter how bad it gets, it's already fixed in my head.

388
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,480
I'm with Jesus.

389
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,840
I have no other option.

390
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,520
You know, when Jesus thinned the crowd out and said, unless you eat my flesh drink,

391
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,840
my blood can't follow me.

392
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,520
And the disciples were kind of going, looking at him like, Jesus, what you said is kind

393
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,520
of harsh.

394
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,800
And Jesus said, do you want to go to?

395
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,560
And Peter, I believe, was the one that responded, Jesus, where are we going to go?

396
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,720
We left all to follow you.

397
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:38,240
And so he had burned the plow or that one guy, I think the Spaniard conquistador, he

398
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,800
burned the ships so the guys couldn't turn around and go, Cortez, he couldn't, they couldn't,

399
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,600
they couldn't go in retreat.

400
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,880
And so that, those are some things that are very key for me and principles that I try

401
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,400
to abide and try to live by and principles that I've learned.

402
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,400
I love that.

403
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,680
And I, and I see you that I see you practice that.

404
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,920
I think this is why I wanted to interview you about this, because honestly, baby, I think

405
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,720
you're one of the most disciplined people in this area.

406
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,320
And I think you're probably one of the most consistent people I've ever seen that no matter

407
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,280
what you're walking through, literally your worship doesn't change your, your heart for

408
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,200
Jesus, your sweetness, your kindness, your joy, your peace.

409
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,200
It doesn't shift.

410
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,720
And times I marvel because I'm like, man, I want to be like you when I grow up, you're

411
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,720
like my hero.

412
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,720
I'm serious.

413
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,720
Like you're so, you're so steadfast.

414
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,560
I am more like, I have to like find my bearings more than you.

415
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,960
You're like just so consistent.

416
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,040
And I ask you these questions privately, but I wanted to make it a public conversation

417
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,960
because I know if I'm asking these questions and I have the privilege of having someone

418
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,040
to ask them to, but a lot of people don't have someone in their life that this is modeled

419
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,120
that it's actually possible to walk in a place that is, that is unrelenting in the peace

420
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:53,880
of God, that you just, there's a steadfastness that you walk in.

421
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,680
So I want to go back to being in the place of feeling out of control and feeling out

422
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,200
of control is when you don't have control, when bad things are happening and it's because

423
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,400
of let's just create a scenario that you and I have both walked in where it's other people's

424
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,960
decisions that affect our life and that causes pain or hurt or chaos.

425
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,880
How do you not get offended?

426
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,240
And I know we hit on it with the job description.

427
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,240
I understand that, but I just want to take it even deeper because I think this is where

428
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,240
I think we can all get hung up at times as even followers of Jesus that when something

429
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,360
happens that God could stop.

430
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,920
And I know that there's a difference of job description, so I'm not trying to repeat it,

431
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:40,880
but I just think how do you stay unafended at God in the midst of really painful circumstances?

432
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,640
I think some people, it's subtle.

433
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,640
There are a couple of different thoughts.

434
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,520
You have on one end of the spectrum, you have believers, I believe that there's a bit of

435
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,680
North American Christianity, there's a bit of an entitlement.

436
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,680
Like God, you owe me a good life.

437
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,800
You owe me a hashtag best life, loud.

438
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:56,920
I should prosper.

439
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,920
I should have this.

440
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:58,920
I should have this.

441
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,920
I should have this.

442
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,080
All you got to do is read Fox's book of martyrs.

443
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,280
All you got to do is see the persecuted underground church, a Corrie 10 boom, different people.

444
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,400
If you look at the disciples, I mean, we talk about how awesome it was in Wabji's.

445
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,320
Hey, all but John was martyred and that dude was thrown in a cauldron of oil and supernaturally

446
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,920
was preserved by God, but he died in exile on the island of Patmel's writing revelation.

447
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,440
So I think on one end of the spectrum is a bit of an entitlement.

448
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,520
The other thing that I think is significant for a lot of believers is to simply recognize

449
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,880
Jesus died.

450
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,320
He suffered bland on a cross, a cruel, dishonorable death.

451
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,800
Death by crucifixion by the Romans was very dishonorable.

452
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,480
I think we lose sight of the fact that the Bible says that we're supposed to enter into

453
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,440
the sufferings of Christ.

454
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,760
We just don't talk about that.

455
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:48,760
It's not preach.

456
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,400
So I think again, we think that a little bit of like God's a slot machine.

457
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,760
I'm going to put my prayer in, pull my hand down.

458
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,440
I'm going to get triple bars all across.

459
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,720
It's going to pay off all my prayers to be answered, everything I wish and want.

460
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,800
But here's the other thing that I think is equally as important is that as far as God's

461
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:11,200
concern, we have to recognize your development is more important than your immediate deliverance.

462
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,800
Now I don't mean deliverance from the demonic.

463
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:13,800
Right.

464
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,800
I don't mean deliverance from hell.

465
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,800
Those things are clear on the spot.

466
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,800
God's giving you that.

467
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,840
But I mean deliverance out of a problem, out of a sticky situation, out of a conundrum,

468
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,440
out of in a place of waiting, we think God owes us deliverance, but really God's more

469
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,880
concerned about your development than it is your deliverance.

470
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,600
And that's why Shai Ragnamishak and the Bendigo weren't pulled out of the fire.

471
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,120
They were given the grace to, to endure the fire.

472
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:40,120
They stayed there and they got a revelation of the fourth one in the fire.

473
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:44,400
They wouldn't have had that had all of a sudden God just like did this thing and angels came

474
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,440
down and will pull them out.

475
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,360
And we forget Joseph man.

476
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,320
I mean, yeah, he was the right hand do to Potiphar.

477
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:57,280
But the guy had what 13 years before that happened of just being lied upon, being misrepresented,

478
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,780
thrown in prison.

479
00:23:58,780 --> 00:24:01,720
He's doing the right thing, but wrong things happened to him.

480
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Somebody needs to pull right now out the book of Genesis and read a Joseph.

481
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,040
So I think the other thing and how, so how do we get through this?

482
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,800
You can live on one frequency of life that's feelings or you can live on another frequency

483
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,160
of life that's faith.

484
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,600
But so many people want to stay in their feelings.

485
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,080
And I think modern culture feeds feelings in your feelings and everything about feelings

486
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,120
and hip hop artists talk about your feelings and everything's feelings.

487
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:26,520
And so we want to share our feelings.

488
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,800
Well, I just feel, feel, feel, feel, feel, but the Bible says we walk by faith, not by

489
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,800
sight.

490
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,040
I don't think we should deny our feelings.

491
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:40,000
I just think that we should not give feelings, the airspace or the decision criteria or predominant

492
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,760
vote in where our mind and our lives go.

493
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,000
You got to walk by faith.

494
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,520
So somewhere along the line, you got to get in the scripture and declare what is the word

495
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,520
of God say?

496
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240
What do I know this true about the character of God?

497
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,280
And even if in that point in time say, I don't have a specific scripture I could land on,

498
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,000
I don't have a prophetic word or God's not giving me anything.

499
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,280
I'm just going to believe his character, but I'm going to choose faith.

500
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:06,400
And if you, if you could get there by feelings, here's what I believe you to God there.

501
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,560
So if you can't get there by feelings, you know, it's, it's almost like we didn't get

502
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,720
to London by car because you can't, you get, we can get to the East coast by car because

503
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,960
we had to get to the East cause we had a direct flight all the way from San Francisco to Heathrow.

504
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,880
But you, you would need a boat to get across the water part or you need to go air.

505
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,920
So it's almost like you can go by feelings.

506
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,320
That's only going to get you so far.

507
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,480
But if you go by faith, then all of a sudden you're, you're moving from being in a motorized

508
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,280
vehicle on land to now you can go aerial.

509
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,760
And that's what God gives us faith.

510
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,080
So we're not limited to, to our feelings.

511
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,840
Oh my gosh, baby, you need to write a book on this.

512
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,960
I'm serious.

513
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,640
You really walk in a revelation the world needs, especially our world today.

514
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,760
You know, it's interesting you brought up suffering cause I think it is one of probably

515
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:57,160
one of the most underrated places of discipleship and we want to avoid suffering and difficulty

516
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,560
and pain at all costs.

517
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,200
But when I even reflect on my own life, it's actually the places of extended pain and suffering

518
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,840
that have created the deepest root system within me.

519
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,680
And I look at the places of breakthrough that have become sweeter because of the delayed

520
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:11,680
waiting.

521
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,120
And that's one of my life I've waited for promises.

522
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:18,400
This isn't true for everyone, but just speaking from my own story, my own experience, the

523
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,560
Lord has allowed me to have extended seasons of waiting for deep desires and promises in

524
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,560
my life.

525
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,840
And when that sweet, when that breakthrough happened, when that prayer got answered, i.e.

526
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:33,240
Mary knew I waited 20 years and it wasn't all suffering, but there was times of suffering.

527
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,040
There was times of pain in it.

528
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,400
So when you came into my life, when I didn't expect it cause it was so laid down, but that

529
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,240
laid down that like that depth, that root system that God had developed within me, it

530
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,160
was like how much sweeter was it because it was just so it was so given to God.

531
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:55,160
But I also look back of what he developed between him and me and my identity and God,

532
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,480
my trust, my surrender in him, all areas I can still continue to grow in, but I still

533
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,320
had significant growth during those times in those years of extended waiting.

534
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,760
So I just want to encourage the listener today that's going, my gosh, Christa, Sean, I'm

535
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,000
in such a hard season.

536
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,480
It's just been going on and on.

537
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:18,000
We want you to know we've been there and we understand and we want to encourage you that

538
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,560
God's actually going to use your pain in a place of discipleship and you're actually

539
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,160
going to grow and deepen it.

540
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,640
There's purpose in the pain.

541
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,600
I actually find that incredibly encouraging because I'd much rather have purpose than

542
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,680
I'm just going through it for no reason.

543
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,280
I feel like that promise that God uses everything for his glory, everything.

544
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,000
That means the good, the bad, the ugly.

545
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,200
He uses it all, uses it places of pain for his glory.

546
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,560
That means I'm going to see fruit in my life from it, whether it be breakthrough, whether

547
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,680
it just be a sweeter place of intimacy between Jesus and I, which that alone is enough.

548
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,560
But I just recognize, which I'm hearing you say, the deepest places of discipleship and

549
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:04,040
growth in who we are come in extended seasons of pain and suffering.

550
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,040
Yes.

551
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,840
The Bible is very clear about that, that we would know him who, and part of it, the part

552
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,320
we leave out is the fellowship of his suffering.

553
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,520
There's a place and you alluded to it of intimacy of knowing God by going through it.

554
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,520
Here's what I say.

555
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,440
Like don't waste your wildernesses.

556
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Like let your wildernesses be something that at the end of the day propels you into your

557
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:31,280
promised lands because if you don't have wildernesses, you won't have promised lands.

558
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,800
God started us off with that typology right from the jump.

559
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,040
He pulled his people, the nation of Israel.

560
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,920
He pulled them out of bondage, but they had to go through the wilderness before they could

561
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,520
get into the promised land.

562
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,440
And the wilderness is your training place.

563
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,240
David, he's out the backside of a wilderness.

564
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,080
Moses backside of a wilderness.

565
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,480
Jesus backside of a wilderness.

566
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,160
It just goes on and on and on.

567
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,160
And the Bible is clear too.

568
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,320
The Bible says it and inheritance gain hurriedly in the beginning when I'll be blessed in the

569
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,320
end.

570
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,920
And this thing doesn't, doesn't happen just because you grind it.

571
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,680
You know, like we think, Hey, team grind.

572
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,160
I'll just work harder and man, I'll just grind it.

573
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,200
Man, I'll get my entrepreneurial idea up and going.

574
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,800
Man, I'm going to be super successful.

575
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,680
Man, I'll get my little music thing and I'm trying to produce or I'll get this other little,

576
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,360
you know, Instagram, you know, influencer deal going in the kingdom.

577
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,440
You don't want your stuff overnight because if you get it overnight, you can lose it overnight.

578
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,640
And that, that even when they look at people and they say, Oh man, that guy or that gal,

579
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,320
their ministry, they blew up overnight.

580
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,320
No, no, no.

581
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,120
I understand that overnight, what it looked to you was like 30 years for them, 25 years

582
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,760
for them, 20 years for them, 10 years, because the worst thing that could ever happen, right?

583
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,720
Is you get a platform, but you don't have the character.

584
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,320
And so somewhere along the line, you've got to form that character with dealing with the

585
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:53,260
contradictions, dealing with those times of waiting, dealing, uh, processing pain.

586
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:57,160
That's why the worst thing someone could do is let pain take them out when in fact God

587
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,160
allowed pain.

588
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,160
Yeah.

589
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,160
I'm not saying he sent it.

590
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,320
I'm not saying it to take you in, not take you out.

591
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,480
So if you really process it with the Lord, it can actually be your Uber car, Uber drive

592
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920
into the promises that God has for you.

593
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,080
So it's just so important.

594
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,280
So many people that when there's no things you can't wrap your head around, you don't

595
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,920
understand, you don't know.

596
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,160
Trust me, every single person you respect, they've been through it.

597
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:24,160
And if they've not been through it, truth be told, they'll probably not be able to endure

598
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,960
the success or the pressure or everything else that comes.

599
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,960
You have to have character.

600
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,960
And then what we're seeing that, no matter what, we're seeing that.

601
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,840
No matter what venue today, whether it's professional athletes, whether it's in Hollywood, whether

602
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,040
it's in the music industry, whether it's in IT, whether it's in finance, you're seeing

603
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,440
people make horrible decisions and it's because some of them took shortcuts and you, you don't

604
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,840
want shortcuts.

605
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,560
And the thing is, is that when you don't have control, you have to learn how to trust the

606
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,960
one who is in control.

607
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,120
Trust is, is, is lesson number one in the kingdom.

608
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,720
Uh, in fact, one of the words for faith is actually the word trust.

609
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,320
And if you don't learn to trust Jesus, you'll never get past Christianity one on one.

610
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,720
Hey, you're, you're a baby and Paul says, Hey, uh, you, you guys, you've been here.

611
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,680
You need to have moved on from the milk.

612
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,080
You need to move on to the meat.

613
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,440
And so he's challenging them.

614
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,400
You've got to go deeper and going deeper is going in a walk of trust.

615
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,400
It's a, it's a, it isn't a blind faith, but at times it's, it's a walk where you won't

616
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,160
have sight in the natural.

617
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,160
Yeah.

618
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,160
You only have visibility.

619
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,160
Yeah.

620
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,240
You only have sight by faith and by knowing the one who's leading you.

621
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,240
That's true.

622
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,040
And that sight and faith and just the knowing came from the places of having to trust him

623
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,480
when you couldn't see, it didn't make sense.

624
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,240
And you didn't have the visibility.

625
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,600
You didn't have the strong encounter.

626
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,440
You didn't have the loud voice or wasn't not the prophetic word.

627
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,880
There wasn't the powerful encounter.

628
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,960
You're not getting people that people aren't praying for you.

629
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,840
It's in the really quiet, silent place in God's like, but who do you say I am?

630
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,800
Who do you say I am?

631
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,760
And you're able to say who he is that he's still healer, even with the diagnosis, you're

632
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,760
able to stay.

633
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,880
You're still good even in the midst of the contradiction, the pain and the suffering

634
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,920
and something I've learned in extended seasons of suffering and you brought this up in the

635
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:10,280
area of trust is, you know, really for me, surrender is so required in those places of

636
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,880
suffering in order to tap into the trust.

637
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,680
I can only tap into the deeper places of trusting God because the deeper I surrender, it means

638
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,880
the greater I trust.

639
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,760
I can't surrender where I don't trust.

640
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,040
And it really God is looking for full surrender.

641
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,200
I can only fully surrender where I fully trust him.

642
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,280
So when he's asking me like Sam Abraham, Isaac moment, he's saying, can you give me the

643
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,280
son?

644
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,280
Right.

645
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,280
And I'm like, okay, I can give you a leg.

646
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,280
I can give you an arm.

647
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,880
He's like, no, no, I want the whole child.

648
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,880
I'm like, I'm still holding on to one arm.

649
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,240
And I have, and I've had that process where God's like, can I have the whole child?

650
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,560
And I'm like, I'll give you three quarters.

651
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,920
And then I'm noticed I'm still holding on, which means I'm still striving.

652
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,800
I'm still trying to do it on my own.

653
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,000
And I don't find that place of rest, right, because I'm not surrendering.

654
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,840
And so for those of you that have struggled, maybe like myself, where you have just had

655
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,760
a lack of rest, there's even maybe been anxiety you've been dealing with.

656
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,360
It's because God's invited you in to a deeper place of surrender, which means a deeper place

657
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,200
of trust, deeper the trust, deeper the rest.

658
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,160
And so that's something I'm walking out.

659
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,280
That's something I'm still learning.

660
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,520
I feel like I'm just continuing that journey of always trying to go deeper and I walk with

661
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,520
Jesus.

662
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,400
But I feel like someone today needs to hear that.

663
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,480
I know that when you're in those places of just feeling the pain and the hardship and

664
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,800
you're going, why can I find this place of peace?

665
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,960
And God's just inviting you to go even deeper, like beyond capacity.

666
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,960
And what is he doing?

667
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,600
He's expanding your tent pegs.

668
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,520
He's taking you to a deeper place of trusting in him.

669
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,240
You know, right along those lines, I was thinking about when Jesus said to Peter, he says,

670
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,200
Simon, Simon, Satan has demanded permission to sift you as wheat.

671
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,640
And if I'm Peter, I'm thinking, and you're toe to no, right?

672
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,360
And of course, Jesus goes on and he says, I prayed for you so that after you have returned,

673
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,440
in other words, after you get back up on your feet, you will strengthen your brothers.

674
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,600
So what is the principle?

675
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,680
The takeaway principle from that is this.

676
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,440
What many of us call a faith crisis, heaven calls a faith catalyst.

677
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,720
Like that was a faith crisis.

678
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,360
His Satan demanded permission.

679
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,480
That was Peter denied Jesus three times when he was apprehended.

680
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,720
He didn't, he said, no, I don't know the man.

681
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:11,720
No, I don't know the man.

682
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:13,520
He called curses down on himself.

683
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,840
That was a crisis of faith.

684
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,360
You could look at him like he could have walked around, moped.

685
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,080
Total deconstruction, walked away from God, went out in the world, went back in a sense.

686
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,240
He went back to fishing.

687
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:27,080
But Jesus told him after you get back on your feet, strengthen your brothers, what do we

688
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,080
know about Peter?

689
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,880
Simon Peter stands up on the day of Pentecost, preaches the church's first sermon.

690
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,960
He is kind of the rock of the early church until we see Paul come on this scene.

691
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,280
Really he kind of takes more of a leadership role, probably about Acts 13.

692
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,480
So from Acts two to Acts 13, it's really about Peter.

693
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,600
But what we would call a crisis of faith.

694
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,120
Somebody right now is going through something, they go, oh man, I'm in a crisis of faith.

695
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,760
I challenge you to redefine and turn the narrative and recognize it's not a crisis of faith,

696
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,120
it's a catalyst of faith.

697
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,680
You're going to receive something that will bring strength to other people and will actually

698
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,920
be your superpower at the end of the day.

699
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,880
And so I, I, I'm like, I look at it like, okay, it feels like a crisis, but it will,

700
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,160
if I stay with Jesus, it will be a catalyst.

701
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,600
My goodness, baby, you're amazing.

702
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,600
I love your revelation.

703
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,600
You're sweet, Paul.

704
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:15,600
You're sweet.

705
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,600
You're sweet.

706
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,560
It's just, it's just a nice conversation, you know, I just, I think I want someone to

707
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,640
walk away with a practical and I think that whenever you're going through a hard place,

708
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,880
a place of suffering, a place of pain, the enemy's always going after redefining who

709
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,880
God is.

710
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,480
You talked about it before you said it really well.

711
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,640
There's a war over job descriptions and we often get them confused.

712
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,200
You said this statement, I thought it was really powerful to keep our minds focused on Christ.

713
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,840
That to me, there's the war.

714
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,860
It's what do we, what do we keep our focus on?

715
00:35:40,860 --> 00:35:41,860
Where do we set up?

716
00:35:41,860 --> 00:35:43,920
How do we set our, what do we set our minds upon?

717
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,320
Maybe that's the best way to say it.

718
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,760
Just with kind of that takeaway concept that we have with the Keefer 100 tribe, how do

719
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,120
people do that practically?

720
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,820
What's that takeaway when someone is walking through something difficult?

721
00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:57,360
How do they set their mind on Christ?

722
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:02,040
I think when you're feeling that pain, you're feeling that longing, you're feeling that

723
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:07,560
loss, let that, in the same way, when you feel hunger, hunger pains or pains, they call

724
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,240
it, it moves you towards food, right?

725
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:11,720
If you feel like, oh man, my stomach's growling, I better go eat.

726
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:12,720
Like what's going on?

727
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:13,720
I'm hungry.

728
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:17,600
You're feeling loss, you're feeling lonely, you're feeling pain, you're feeling demoralized.

729
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,880
Let that be, if you will, that inner prompting to go, I immediately need to press into Jesus.

730
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:28,040
I think that many times we take a step back when we allow the substitutes.

731
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,000
So I think one of the early things is that when you're feeling stuff going, trying to

732
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,040
go south, don't get in your head, get in your heart.

733
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,720
You're getting in your head, you're immediately trying to know how bad it is.

734
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:39,760
Oh, I can't believe why am I going through this?

735
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,240
Hey, I, I, I'm trying to figure out some solutions.

736
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,240
All that.

737
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:46,920
Instead, go to your heart and say, Lord, I need you.

738
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:47,920
What is it?

739
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,920
I'm feeling pain.

740
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,600
Just be honest with the Lord, talk to the Lord.

741
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,640
I think those are so key that you include Jesus in it.

742
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,920
Don't let your problems separate you from your Redeemer.

743
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,160
Allow it to draw you nearer to your Redeemer.

744
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,640
And so you think about it, all the words for God is he's Joe Verrafa, he's Joe Vanesys,

745
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,800
Genova, Sid Canoe, what are those?

746
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,200
If you go back and research all the origins of when God's name was revealed, it was because

747
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,080
his people had the absolute opposite of that.

748
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,720
So they discovered, you know, Hagar's in the middle of wilderness, there's no water, her

749
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:20,720
and her son's going to die.

750
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:25,520
Ah, he's Jehovah Rohe, a God who sees me when they're like discovering they're about to

751
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:26,520
die.

752
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,520
I don't know.

753
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,520
I think it was from snake bites.

754
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,920
They go, oh, it's, he's Jehovah Rafa.

755
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,760
So they get a deeper revelation of God meeting their need because in their pain, in their

756
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,240
lack, in their contradiction, they look to the Lord and he was able to come through for

757
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:41,240
them.

758
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:43,680
And that needs to be the cue that we follow as well.

759
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:44,680
That would be my takeaway.

760
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,680
Wow.

761
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,680
That is so good.

762
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,680
Keep on head of tribe.

763
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,360
I don't know about you, but I was incredibly blessed and ministered to by this episode,

764
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,880
just being around it.

765
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,680
I get to live with this man of God every day.

766
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,280
I wanted you guys to hear the wisdom that he walks in because he's been one that's really

767
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,280
impacted my life.

768
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,200
I ask him these kinds of questions all the time.

769
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,880
And I felt like this was an important conversation because I think so many people are going through

770
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,080
really hard things right now.

771
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,680
And I just felt this truth and revelation was so key to share it with all of you.

772
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,640
For any of you that are going through really difficult and hard times, I want you to be

773
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:13,640
encouraged today.

774
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:14,640
You're not forgotten.

775
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,560
You're not overlooked and you're not not seen.

776
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,520
You have a God who loves you, who pursues you, who sees you and he's with you.

777
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,560
And I just want you to know God's going to get you through it where your ad is not your

778
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,120
permanent location, but we have a God who does breakthrough.

779
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,640
He is the God of Baal, Parism, the Lord of the breakthrough.

780
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,360
And I just want to speak hope over you.

781
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,920
I want to speak blessing over you and I want you to know God has you and be encouraged

782
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,920
today.
