WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:18.000
Just muting while I get a slide.

2
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Okay.

3
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.000
All right, we are live in sweet secrets.

4
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.000
Sweet secrets.

5
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.000
And I will tag. Let me just because our

6
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
sweet Carrie

7
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.000
is not here.

8
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:48.000
Okay. Oh, what's the zoom link again. Oh that's you Ingrid, nevermind.

9
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Yeah, I got it.

10
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.000
I put it in my calendar so and then I forgot that.

11
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Oh, it says Jenny, it says Carrie's not a group member.

12
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
Okay.

13
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:14.000
All right, well maybe I know I invited her I wonder if it's me so good.

14
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.000
So Jenny, I sent you an invite to sweet secrets.

15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:27.000
Let me

16
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:34.000
number request.

17
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.000
Oh, okay.

18
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
All right, so I sent her another. Okay.

19
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:47.000
Hey everyone. Okay waiting for Devin.

20
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000
And as I said, Carrie.

21
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:58.000
She will miss tonight, but she will watch, she might watch it after she gets home.

22
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.000
So,

23
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.000
okay.

24
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.000
And I want.

25
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:28.000
I just really feel like we're starting in Daniel God just keeps bringing me to Daniel every time I want to go, like sit in the beatitudes which I have done a little bit but he keeps saying Daniel and I think I understand why.

26
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.000
Okay.

27
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.000
All right, here comes Jill wolf.

28
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:39.000
Wolfie.

29
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000
Anybody see Amadeus.

30
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.000
Why is my video not.

31
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.000
Can you hear me. Yeah, I can hear you Joe.

32
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.000
I don't know why cameras not working so I might sign out and sign back in. That's weird.

33
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.000
Yeah, for sure. You're definitely in the dark.

34
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.000
Metaphorically, and literally right.

35
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.000
Okay.

36
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.000
I'm driving actually so I'm in the dark too.

37
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:21.000
Yeah, I did notice, I mean we can sort of see your figure coming go and I'm in the car I should be home in 20 minutes or so.

38
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.000
Okay.

39
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.000
I'm so excited guys.

40
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.000
Jenny pants.

41
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:39.000
Like now I know what it's like because I am like so often. Oh yeah I haven't done that yet and then just right in the wire.

42
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.000
Yes, she is.

43
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.000
Gosh, looking so gorgeous I'm gonna have to go put on makeup or something.

44
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.000
I just have challenge so I was on.

45
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.000
How's that.

46
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:04.000
It's going great. It's going great. So, I'm awesome. All right, let me see if Miss Devon's on her way.

47
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.000
What's your challenge, Jill.

48
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:13.000
This one is called ready to do the right thing, or it.

49
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.000
And it's for bringing your storybook to life in 2023.

50
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:33.000
So, yeah, so I'm working with people who want to write a storybook, and we're looking at what does it mean to do that and how do you get it from concept to concept to print and then to the hands of your consumer.

51
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.000
The sales and marketing piece too. So,

52
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:49.000
okay, oh that was my message to Devon I could just hear show, you know, like, guys, I never have my notifications on.

53
00:04:49.000 --> 00:05:00.000
So many times it's like the middle of the night and I'm trying to catch up with like you can see like all black messages like streams, I have to get caught up on so sometimes.

54
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.520
or emails or texts.

55
00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:04.600
I'll try and like get caught up on some.

56
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.920
It's the middle of the night and I always hope

57
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.200
that people are like me and their notifications are off.

58
00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:12.640
But my mother-in-law the other day was like,

59
00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:18.880
yeah, Hillary texted me in the middle of the night

60
00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:21.080
and it woke me up and got me all worried.

61
00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:26.080
I don't think there's many people that don't have it blocked

62
00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:33.560
at nights, off the younger people, especially.

63
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.040
Don't you think?

64
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:35.880
Yeah, I agree.

65
00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:39.880
I don't worry if people hear my texts at 2 a.m.

66
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.600
It's totally silence.

67
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.520
They can hear my texts or they won't hear my texts.

68
00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:50.120
Yeah, but it's not everyone.

69
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.640
And then there are some people that like,

70
00:05:52.640 --> 00:05:54.880
I would think for some reason they need,

71
00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:57.080
like if they're pastoral,

72
00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:01.680
they need to have their notifications on or, you know,

73
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.160
like, anyway.

74
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.520
So just if I'm sending something and it wakes y'all up,

75
00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:12.160
just be like, hey, go to bed.

76
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.480
Well, I think there's also the person

77
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.360
who doesn't necessarily know how to turn

78
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:21.800
the notifications off.

79
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.400
So my computer goes to sleep at night, right?

80
00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:30.320
Goes to sleep when I'm off of it, but it still notifies me.

81
00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:33.560
So all last night I was hearing this ding

82
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.400
and I'm telling my husband, I'm like, it's asleep.

83
00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:36.440
It's off.

84
00:06:36.440 --> 00:06:38.960
Why is it still ringing?

85
00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:41.400
And he's like, well, what'd you do with notifications?

86
00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:43.640
I'm like, I don't know.

87
00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:46.120
When we set it up, I said, I don't know.

88
00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:51.000
Then you got these wonky things, right?

89
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.600
You just got a new computer, right?

90
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.600
That's what it is?

91
00:06:55.760 --> 00:06:56.720
It's reasonably new.

92
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.120
I mean, a year.

93
00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.040
Oh, okay.

94
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.520
No, somebody, somebody,

95
00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:04.240
I can't remember who I was on with now then.

96
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.640
Like something just went down and they're like, okay,

97
00:07:06.640 --> 00:07:08.000
I gotta get a new computer.

98
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.640
Oh yeah, no, that wasn't me.

99
00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:11.880
Okay.

100
00:07:11.880 --> 00:07:13.160
All right.

101
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:14.440
Here she is.

102
00:07:15.400 --> 00:07:16.240
Devin choking.

103
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:19.120
Okay.

104
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.160
All right.

105
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.520
Here we are.

106
00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:24.400
So, all right.

107
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:25.640
I don't know if it's,

108
00:07:25.640 --> 00:07:30.640
I know that it's not possible for Ingrid right now,

109
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.280
but we could just like, you know,

110
00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:38.280
be ready to take some communion

111
00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:40.400
if that's okay with everyone.

112
00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:45.400
I sort of am excited about this meal, most of all,

113
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.000
and we might do it a lot.

114
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.920
I don't know, but I feel like tonight,

115
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.920
definitely to, you know, engage in that covenant.

116
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.320
And so I won't start with it

117
00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:03.000
cause we'll let Ingrid get home.

118
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:03.840
But.

119
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.320
That's not, that's not, don't worry about me.

120
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.200
So.

121
00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:11.920
Yeah.

122
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:12.960
Yeah, yeah, me too.

123
00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:14.000
I'll be right back.

124
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.840
Okay.

125
00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:17.600
All right.

126
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.120
I should've mentioned it earlier.

127
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.280
I thought of putting it on the, well, here it is.

128
00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:27.560
I'm talking to my chairs.

129
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:28.400
Ingrid.

130
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.480
You're my only, you're my only window.

131
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.120
You're my only occupied window right now.

132
00:08:37.880 --> 00:08:39.400
And that's halfway done.

133
00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:42.120
You're my captive audience right now.

134
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.760
I'm stuck in the seatbelt.

135
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.640
Yeah, yeah, you're stuck.

136
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.400
I need to get those little ones that you have handy.

137
00:08:52.400 --> 00:08:53.560
That's a good idea.

138
00:08:53.560 --> 00:08:54.520
That's what I've got.

139
00:08:54.520 --> 00:08:57.480
Cause I, it's so much easier than to, you know,

140
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.840
prepare something to buy.

141
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.760
So yeah, I need to do that.

142
00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:05.440
Yeah, I went ahead and ordered a whole case

143
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:10.440
on because I found myself doing it a lot

144
00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:15.560
and increasingly desiring to, you know how like,

145
00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:19.400
it's almost like, like those words were in my mouth.

146
00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:23.200
I have earnestly desired to celebrate this Passover

147
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.600
with you.

148
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:29.560
And so I felt that longing of the Lord

149
00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:32.840
and it's just keeps becoming increasingly

150
00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:35.200
more and more precious.

151
00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:42.040
Like today, just talking to someone about

152
00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:44.240
that covenant meal.

153
00:09:45.280 --> 00:09:49.760
We are taking a covenant meal,

154
00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:53.520
bringing to our remembrance

155
00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:55.160
that the sacrifice has been paid,

156
00:09:55.160 --> 00:09:57.840
which means we're entering into a covenant.

157
00:09:59.080 --> 00:09:59.920
All of my.

158
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.000
for all that you paid for, all of your righteousness,

159
00:10:06.180 --> 00:10:09.700
all of my sickness and dis-ease,

160
00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:13.580
for all of your wholeness and shalom,

161
00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:17.340
all of my heaviness and problems and punishment

162
00:10:18.380 --> 00:10:23.180
for all of your exoneration and justification.

163
00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:29.700
I mean, we are partaking in a covenant meal

164
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:35.840
and it's just like beyond, beyond amazing.

165
00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:42.760
So very, very, very excited.

166
00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:45.640
So cool.

167
00:10:45.640 --> 00:10:49.120
Okay, so what I'm gonna do is first we'll,

168
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.760
we'll just welcome the Lord.

169
00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:55.080
We'll open up in prayer.

170
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.840
We're gonna go through some scriptures

171
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.840
and then we'll,

172
00:11:07.400 --> 00:11:10.520
well, we'll see when the Lord wants us to take communion,

173
00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:15.520
but we will also take into encounter.

174
00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:18.840
I, well, I just better get started

175
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.520
because I feel like it's so much.

176
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:25.680
Okay.

177
00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:30.680
Look, ah, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

178
00:11:40.760 --> 00:11:44.960

We are here in your presence by your invitation.

182
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.080
Jesus, we're so excited to hear words from your lips,

183
00:12:06.640 --> 00:12:11.640
to encounter your face, the expression on your face,

184
00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:18.400
the nearness of your feet and your legs

185
00:12:19.400 --> 00:12:24.400
and your joy and that we get to learn this together.

186
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:34.960
Wise virgins at your feet, so grateful,

187
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:38.280
so infinitely great.

188
00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:44.200
Thank you, Abba.

189
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.680
Thank you for your son, Jesus.

190
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.240
Thank you for this day that you have made

191
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:56.880
and this time and this,

192
00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:01.800
this holy ground we sit upon.

193
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:07.240
Thank you for teaching us how to approach.

194
00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:13.360
Thank you again for your sweet secrets of success.

195
00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:19.600
Which means your plan for us is success.

196
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.520
Like that's, that's your plan.

197
00:13:22.520 --> 00:13:24.160
We can't fail.

198
00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:25.880
We can't fall short.

199
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:32.480
There's so much that you want to do.

200
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:36.320
And so we just come with anticipation.

201
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:41.320
Holy spirit, the spirit of the bride, we say, come,

202
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.320
come, come, come.

203
00:13:50.280 --> 00:13:52.240
We need you.

204
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.200
We need you to teach us how to sit still.

205
00:13:57.640 --> 00:14:02.320
We need you to open our ears to hear and our eyes to see

206
00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:08.520
and our hearts to, to seek, to receive,

207
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.960
to understand, to lay hold of, to be laid hold of.

208
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.800
Teach us how like Mary at your feet

209
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.800
to listen to and follow one voice,

210
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.760
the voice of the good shepherd

211
00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:38.760
and that no other voice even distracts us.

212
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.080
We know your voice.

213
00:14:44.880 --> 00:14:48.640
So the voice of another, we will not follow.

214
00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:54.480
Thank you for this time and for inviting us

215
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.160
into transformation.

216
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:15.000
We are the ultimate trans population, Lord. We're just so ready for what you're going to do, making us brides, making us wise virgins.

217
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:29.000
And we thank you. Bless this time. Bless the meal of your food, the meal of your body and your blood and the meal of the fellowship in Jesus name. Amen.

218
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:33.000
Okay, so at my first.

219
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:49.000
Does anyone have anything you want to just quickly share anything you want to quickly just say or save it till the end or just anything that's like, if you feel like you're chomping at the bit I, I definitely want to welcome you.

220
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.000
No obligation, just.

221
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.000
Okay.

222
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:58.000
All right, everybody's positioned. Okay.

223
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.000
Very well.

224
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:26.000
All right, so I'm going to start with Daniel chapter nine. So, several chapters, as Devin was so beautifully highlighting for us several chapters in Daniel reveal that this incredible, incredible man of God, like,

225
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:33.000
he's unlike him he's not to be compared with Jesus but of all the people.

226
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.000
It's just so hard to find fault with Daniel.

227
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:43.000
His level of humility and meekness.

228
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:58.000
And yes, I mean, brought into brought into exile selected as chosen among men castrated a eunuch.

229
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.000
And, you know, he was castrated.

230
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:11.000
And what's the way you know that is because the chief of the eunuchs was placed over.

231
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:30.000
Daniel, and Chad wreck me shack, and I've been to go, and, you know, over these young men and it was to him, who was in charge of them, that they made their petition to,

232
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:41.000
to avoid the meats and delicacies and all the foods that were offered from the king, they wanted to keep themselves entirely pure.

233
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:58.000
And so here is this remarkable like, you know, he just didn't make it about why me right and and also to live in, in such close proximity in the palace, and, you know, there's just.

234
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:13.000
Yeah, he was, he was under the, the chief of eunuchs I remember coming across that and just seeing like, Whoa, I've read that so many times I don't remember ever seeing that before.

235
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:25.000
The chief of the eunuchs was over Daniel which means he was a unit. And I remember telling my sister and she was like oh I don't like that at all I don't think so that's not God and I'm like

236
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:31.000
it's not God. It's an advocate Nazar, but it's in the Bible.

237
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:45.000
So, anyway, here he is still all his life just so completely devoted to seeking God with such humility.

238
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:57.000
And so I'm, I'm in. I'm in chapter nine, because here we are we're given a passage of Scripture in particular whoops we've lost Devin.

239
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:06.000
We're, we're given a passage of Scripture in particular, which is the Sermon on the Mount.

240
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:15.000
And so here's how Daniel approaches a passes a passage of Scripture.

241
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:28.000
In the first year of Darius son of us whereas of the offspring of the medias, who was made king over the realm of the cold the ends.

242
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:54.000
In the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood from the books. The number of years, which according to the Word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet must pass by before the desolations, which had been pronounced on Jerusalem should end.

243
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.000
70 years.

244
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.000
So, just to explain that.

245
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.000
Quickly, God in the Pentateuch, in the law,

246
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.560
he had told the Israelites,

247
00:20:08.560 --> 00:20:13.440
here's how you live for blessing, right?

248
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:17.480
I am the Lord, your God, I'm bringing you into a land

249
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.920
rich and flowing with milk and honey.

250
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.120
Here's if you're obedient,

251
00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:28.240
if you hearken unto my voice, my words to do them,

252
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.120
here's all of the blessings that will overtake you

253
00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:33.540
and chase you down.

254
00:20:33.540 --> 00:20:34.380
Mama.

255
00:20:36.040 --> 00:20:37.120
Hi.

256
00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:40.100
Welcome, this is my mother, everybody.

257
00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:42.880
Thank you, hello everybody.

258
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:46.000
I can't get rid of this big thing in the middle.

259
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.480
This meeting is being recorded by host or participant.

260
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:51.880
I'll just hit okay.

261
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.520
There's no okay, oh, there it got it at the bottom.

262
00:20:54.520 --> 00:20:57.960
I had to scroll to get it because it's my phone, sorry.

263
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.240
It's okay, okay.

264
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.040
Right ahead, I'm listening.

265
00:21:02.040 --> 00:21:05.080
Okay, awesome, so glad you're here, mom.

266
00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:08.720
Okay, so, all right.

267
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:13.720
So he had told them like, you'll live in the land

268
00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:16.740
and here's how you live in the land.

269
00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:21.740
And then in, but he said, if you do not obey,

270
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.280
here are the curses that will come upon you

271
00:21:26.320 --> 00:21:29.600
and you will be driven from the land.

272
00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:33.240
And so, this was the constant word of God throughout.

273
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.000
When it came time for the prophet Jeremiah,

274
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.880
he was really crying out to the people and to the king

275
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:44.280
and called of God, I have made you a prophet to the nations

276
00:21:44.280 --> 00:21:46.960
from your mother's womb.

277
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:51.960
And so, he said that,

278
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.960
that he put his word in Jeremiah's mouth

279
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.440
and Jeremiah had words that were not popular to the people,

280
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.080
not popular to the rulers.

281
00:22:05.080 --> 00:22:08.920
He was totally persecuted, but he was constantly crying out

282
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.640
with the word of the Lord to say,

283
00:22:12.560 --> 00:22:17.560
hearken, return unto the Lord that you may be cleansed,

284
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.120
that you may be blessed, that you may return unto him.

285
00:22:22.120 --> 00:22:24.160
And he kept telling them where they were headed

286
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:29.080
and what would befall them, but that it didn't have to,

287
00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:30.840
they could come.

288
00:22:30.840 --> 00:22:35.840
And so, Jeremiah, when it was certain

289
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.480
that these things were going to happen,

290
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.640
that they were going to be taken into exile,

291
00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:49.120
the Lord revealed how long it would be, okay?

292
00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:54.120
So, Daniel now, he's about maybe 90, I guess, at this time,

293
00:22:54.600 --> 00:22:57.560
he is reading the book of Jeremiah,

294
00:22:57.560 --> 00:23:02.160
the scriptures from Jeremiah and seeing

295
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.160
that the 70 years is upon them, right?

296
00:23:07.760 --> 00:23:11.880
That he's seeing like, oh, we're supposed to be returned

297
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:16.880
to Israel to rebuild Jerusalem after 70 years.

298
00:23:18.840 --> 00:23:23.480
So, he reads this and watch how he partners with this.

299
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.480
This is really stunning because so many times we read,

300
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:29.960
okay, in the word, this is the promise of God,

301
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.120
this is what God said, or we hear a prophetic word

302
00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:35.400
and we say, okay, God said this,

303
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:37.720
but just like I love how Karen,

304
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:40.720
the Lord just highlighted to you just recently,

305
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.320
I think we were talking about,

306
00:23:42.320 --> 00:23:44.560
Karen, it's just a word, right?

307
00:23:44.560 --> 00:23:49.080
It's just a word unless you partner with that word.

308
00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:49.920
Yeah.

309
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.320
What does that mean?

310
00:23:51.320 --> 00:23:56.320
And so, here, this is what Daniel does.

311
00:23:56.840 --> 00:24:00.080
So, in the first year of the reign of Darius,

312
00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:04.000
son of Ahasuerus, I, Daniel, understood from the books

313
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.320
of the number of years, which according to the word

314
00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:11.560
of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet must pass by

315
00:24:11.560 --> 00:24:14.520
before the desolations, which had been pronounced

316
00:24:14.520 --> 00:24:18.920
on Jerusalem should end, it was 70 years.

317
00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:25.360
And I set my face to the Lord, God,

318
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:32.240
to seek him by prayer and supplication with fasting

319
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.440
and sackcloth and ashes.

320
00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:43.320
And I prayed to the Lord, my God, and made confession

321
00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:48.960
and said, oh Lord, the great and dreadful God

322
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.680
who keeps covenant, mercy, unloving kindness,

323
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:57.680
and those who love him and keep his commandments.

324
00:24:57.840 --> 00:25:00.240
So, so far, he's not.

325
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.280
How he's like, oh, God said this.

326
00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:04.960
I need to come connect with God

327
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.400
so he can actually make this happen.

328
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.360
Daniel understands this and he cries out

329
00:25:11.360 --> 00:25:13.780
and he begins exalting the Lord.

330
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:19.840
And then he says, we have sinned and dealt perversely

331
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.760
and done wickedly and have rebelled

332
00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:25.640
turning aside from your commandments and ordinances.

333
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:28.920
Neither have we listened to and heeded your servants,

334
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.760
the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings,

335
00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:36.680
our princes, our fathers and to all the people of the land.

336
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:41.520
Oh Lord, righteousness belongs to you.

337
00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:45.000
But to us, confusion and shame of face

338
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.960
and as at this day to the men of Judah,

339
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.080
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel,

340
00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:53.960
to those who are near and those who are far off

341
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:57.200
through all the countries to which you have driven them

342
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.840
because of the treacherous trespass

343
00:25:59.840 --> 00:26:02.320
which they have committed against you.

344
00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:07.320
This is so important to understand Daniel's posture here.

345
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.160
Here, Daniel has not lived a life of perversion

346
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.560
but here he understands like we're all human.

347
00:26:15.560 --> 00:26:18.480
We all fall short and this is what it looks like.

348
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.580
We've agreed with a nature that's sin, an opposer,

349
00:26:22.580 --> 00:26:24.520
thoughts that don't come from God,

350
00:26:24.520 --> 00:26:27.260
ways that aren't authored by him.

351
00:26:28.320 --> 00:26:32.760
And so he cries out in confession

352
00:26:32.760 --> 00:26:37.080
and you'll see this in the beginning of the Beatitudes,

353
00:26:37.080 --> 00:26:42.080
how vital it is this position that Daniel takes.

354
00:26:43.560 --> 00:26:48.560
And so he goes on, I'm in verse nine of Daniel nine.

355
00:26:49.800 --> 00:26:54.040
To the Lord our God belong mercy and loving kindness

356
00:26:54.080 --> 00:26:59.080
and forgiveness for we have rebelled against him.

357
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.080
We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God

358
00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:07.160
by walking in his laws which he set before us

359
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:09.800
through his servants, the prophets.

360
00:27:09.800 --> 00:27:13.360
Yes, all Israel has transgressed your law

361
00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:18.360
even turning aside that they might not obey your voice.

362
00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:22.960
Therefore, the curse has been poured out on us

363
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.440
and the oath that is written in the law of Moses,

364
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:29.800
the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

365
00:27:29.800 --> 00:27:33.400
And he carried out intact his words

366
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:36.720
which he threatened against us and against our judges,

367
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.840
the kings, the princes and the rulers who ruled us

368
00:27:40.840 --> 00:27:43.720
and he has brought upon us a great evil

369
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:47.480
for under the whole heavens there has not been done

370
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:52.480
anything so dreadful as has been done against us.

371
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.600
Jerusalem, just as it is written in the law of Moses

372
00:27:57.600 --> 00:28:00.600
as to all this evil that would surely

373
00:28:00.600 --> 00:28:01.960
come upon transgressors.

374
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:06.800
So I just want you to see like Daniel is being real

375
00:28:06.800 --> 00:28:09.080
with himself before the word.

376
00:28:09.080 --> 00:28:14.080
He is not picking and choosing what he wants to hear or say.

377
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.880
You know, it's like, you know, I just picture like,

378
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:22.200
you know, Jeremiah would say those things

379
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:24.480
and often into exile they went,

380
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:26.240
but it's like, you know, the enemy.

381
00:28:27.080 --> 00:28:31.640
Did God really, really say like you would be taken

382
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:36.120
from your homes, your children would be sold into slavery,

383
00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:40.200
your sons would become Enoch's, Enoch's?

384
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:44.000
If only, yes, let our sons become Enoch's.

385
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.040
Your sons would become eunuchs

386
00:28:47.040 --> 00:28:50.480
and subjects to foreign kings.

387
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:52.760
And did God really say that?

388
00:28:52.760 --> 00:28:56.240
For God knows like you're doing your best.

389
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.160
You, you know, he knows you're sincere.

390
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:04.160
He knows your heart rate, same stuff as in the garden.

391
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.920
Every time we hear, oh, for God knows, right?

392
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:10.160
I just, I think about the, you know,

393
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.960
when Jesus would say something like that,

394
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:14.680
your heavenly father knows.

395
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:19.680
He's saying, why are you chasing after what's important

396
00:29:20.120 --> 00:29:21.840
in the world?

397
00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:26.840
Why are you chasing after food and clothing and money?

398
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.440
Your heavenly father knows you need these things.

399
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:38.440
Turn, come back to him, seek firm the source,

400
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:42.280
the kingdom, his righteousness.

401
00:29:42.280 --> 00:29:46.680
He will add that to you and all other things besides.

402
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:51.680
So here, Daniel doesn't even say, as we would say,

403
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:55.520
well, Daniel, Daniel just didn't even say,

404
00:29:55.520 --> 00:29:57.920
he didn't even complain that he was castrated.

405
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.280
He didn't even complain that he was constantly.

406
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:08.760
He didn't complain. People were constantly tricking him and perverting his faith and

407
00:30:08.760 --> 00:30:14.560
trying to undermine him. He didn't have one word to say about his self-righteousness.

408
00:30:14.560 --> 00:30:22.680
Right? He didn't say one word about how faithful he'd been, how three times a day he prays

409
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:30.120
toward Jerusalem, how he has never defiled himself, how he has stood through king after

410
00:30:30.120 --> 00:30:36.760
king, ruler after ruler, despite all the persecution that has come against him. He had not one

411
00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:47.760
word to say about that. Only, we have sinned in your sight and you are perfectly righteous.

412
00:30:47.760 --> 00:30:58.420
This is just so awesome. Like here, we sit at his feet by invitation, not by entitlement.

413
00:30:58.420 --> 00:31:09.040
We live by his breath, by his design, not by entitlement. And I just like, God kept

414
00:31:09.040 --> 00:31:18.280
telling me every time I'd go to read Matthew, it'd be like, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel. Yet

415
00:31:18.280 --> 00:31:27.440
we have not earnestly begged for forgiveness. He says, we, just like Isaiah said, we, just

416
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:36.400
like Moses, just like every time that a man of God would humble himself, he just had such

417
00:31:36.760 --> 00:31:46.760
access, such access to God. So this is the first positioning. We have not earnestly begged

418
00:31:46.760 --> 00:31:55.360
for forgiveness and entreated the favor of the Lord, our God, that we might turn from

419
00:31:55.360 --> 00:32:04.160
our iniquities and have understanding and become wise in your truth. We so desperately

420
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:11.520
need you for that. Therefore, the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it

421
00:32:11.520 --> 00:32:20.280
upon us for the Lord, our God is uncompromisingly righteous, rigidly just in all his works,

422
00:32:20.280 --> 00:32:30.640
which he does keeping his word. And we have not obeyed his voice. It's just like, you

423
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:39.880
know, how God really is highlighted to me. Psalm 23, in 2023. And I know I shared with

424
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:44.440
you guys that I was thinking, oh, that's just me, because that's so cliche. But no, he was

425
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:52.000
like, no, you need a good shepherd. And my sheep know my voice and the voice of another

426
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:59.320
they will not follow. And I thought, wow, that's that Psalm is actually the mature Christian.

427
00:32:59.320 --> 00:33:05.240
Like it's high time we follow only the voice of the Lord, and not the voice of self and

428
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:12.600
not the voice of condemnation and not any other accusing, disgusting voice. Okay. And

429
00:33:12.600 --> 00:33:18.080
now, oh, Lord God, who brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty

430
00:33:18.080 --> 00:33:26.320
hand and secured yourself renowned and the name as at this day, we have sinned and we

431
00:33:26.320 --> 00:33:32.840
have done wickedly, Lord, according to all your righteousness and justice, I beseech

432
00:33:32.840 --> 00:33:40.400
you, let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city, Jerusalem, your holy

433
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:48.720
mountain, because of our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem, and your people

434
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:56.960
have become a reproach and a byword to all who are around us. Now, therefore, our God,

435
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:06.520
listen to and heed the prayer of your servant, Daniel, and his supplication. And for your

436
00:34:06.520 --> 00:34:15.520
own sake, for your own sake, that's also part of Psalm 23. He leads us in the path of righteousness

437
00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:25.360
for his name sake. So Daniel is like, not because I deserve it. Not because it's been

438
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:35.000
long enough, Lord. But for your, for your righteousness sake, and for your justice,

439
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:42.159
for your great mercy, and your loving kindness. He knows that the heart of the Lord wants

440
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:49.440
to restore his people, never wanted to see anyone punished, removed, separated from their

441
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:55.920
families, from their land, from their lineage and legacy. That wasn't his plan, right?

442
00:34:58.880 --> 00:34:59.840
Lord, hear.

443
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:08.920
Oh, Lord, forgive. Oh, Lord, give heed and act. He's coming into agreement with that

444
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:15.040
word that he's reading in Jeremiah, all that God longs to do, right? But when you turn

445
00:35:15.040 --> 00:35:26.640
Jeremiah 29, but when you turn back to the Lord, he will receive you. Do not delay for

446
00:35:26.640 --> 00:35:35.360
your own sake. Oh my God, because your city and your people are called by your name. Lord,

447
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:42.420
for your sake, restore your people because you need to be exalted in the earth because

448
00:35:42.420 --> 00:35:49.920
your glory is worthy because you established us and we went astray. Restore us for your

449
00:35:49.920 --> 00:36:00.040
namesake. While, while I was speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin

450
00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:06.420
of my people, Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord, my God, for the holy hill

451
00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:13.440
of my God. Yes. While I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in a former

452
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:19.960
vision being caused to fly swiftly came near to me and touched me about the time of the

453
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:27.280
evening sacrifice. And he instructed me and he made me to understand. And he talked to

454
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:38.080
me and said, Oh, Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and wisdom and understanding.

455
00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:44.440
And it goes on at the beginning of your prayers, the words giving an answer went forth and

456
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:52.640
I come to tell you for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter and understand

457
00:36:52.640 --> 00:37:02.600
the vision. And he explains, he explains the, the, the, the vision, what Jeremiah saw. And

458
00:37:02.600 --> 00:37:09.240
he, he goes on in great detail and you'll see the same thing in Jeremiah 10. I mean,

459
00:37:09.240 --> 00:37:17.120
sorry, Daniel 10, the very next chapter, again, he is crying out under the reign of, of Cyrus,

460
00:37:17.120 --> 00:37:23.880
king of Persia. And this is where, you know, as I was approaching this time with you all,

461
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:30.120
I kept hearing Daniel fast, Daniel fast, Daniel fast. And it was coming from people. Yeah.

462
00:37:30.120 --> 00:37:34.880
You know, if you hear it from a person, it's like, Oh, you go. But I kept like, every time

463
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:43.000
they said it, it would echo in me. And I was like, ah, do I want to hear that? Not because

464
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:49.740
I don't want to fast, but because I don't want to fail. You know, it's just been a long

465
00:37:49.740 --> 00:37:58.740
time. I used to fast so much, but it's been a long time. And, and, um, and so anyway,

466
00:37:58.740 --> 00:38:06.580
here he says in Daniel 10, three, I ate no, I, I ate no and here, Oh, this is, this is

467
00:38:06.580 --> 00:38:12.740
important here. He said, um, and I understood the word had understanding of the vision,

468
00:38:12.740 --> 00:38:19.620
which of course was given to him in those days. I, Daniel was mourning. Another key

469
00:38:19.620 --> 00:38:27.140
word is we had into the beatitudes was mourning for three whole weeks. So he's crying out

470
00:38:27.140 --> 00:38:34.020
to the Lord. He's crying out to him. You know, we have sinned. We are in this position. We

471
00:38:34.020 --> 00:38:40.700
should be the people of your pasture. We should be the people that belong to you and you belong

472
00:38:40.700 --> 00:38:50.140
to us. I ate no pleasant or desirable food, nor did any meat or wine come into my mouth.

473
00:38:50.140 --> 00:38:55.860
And I did not anoint myself for three full weeks. And then he talks about, you know,

474
00:38:55.860 --> 00:39:09.260
what, what he did. Um, but so I know that God wanted us to go there because, because

475
00:39:09.260 --> 00:39:16.460
he just was showing me what it looks like to turn on, to, to say yes to this time you're

476
00:39:16.460 --> 00:39:27.020
saying no to other things, whatever we say yes to is an automatic no to everything else.

477
00:39:27.020 --> 00:39:37.100
And how God honors that turning aside as, as a, a deeply grateful, like you're inviting

478
00:39:37.180 --> 00:39:43.340
me to draw near. And as we've talked about in different times, like those, you know,

479
00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:49.020
those, those scriptures that have haunted us this there's the five wise and the five foolish,

480
00:39:49.020 --> 00:39:54.860
and how do I become that five wise? Right. And, and how do I hear well done? And how,

481
00:39:55.660 --> 00:39:59.900
how do I become, um, that good and faithful?

482
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:09.280
servant? How do I do that? So, so here, in, let me check on the

483
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:13.400
time. Oh, look at that. Look at the time. Well, we got a little

484
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:25.040
bit of a late start. Okay. So, as we just begin this, this,

485
00:40:25.040 --> 00:40:33.680
these words that Jesus spoke, after he learned to live them,

486
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:38.880
and we might highlight some of that, you know, as we go some

487
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.280
years, you'll even catch, you can catch in the stream, you

488
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:45.640
know, certain, like the welcome where I was talking about what

489
00:40:45.640 --> 00:40:49.880
Jesus went through before he even could open his mouth with

490
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:57.520
these words on, on that mount, and, and that interaction with

491
00:40:57.520 --> 00:41:02.360
his parents and learning obedience and, and, and being

492
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:08.240
announced by God Almighty, not, not in the synagogue, as he

493
00:41:08.240 --> 00:41:14.040
supposed, but, but in the place where John was baptizing in the

494
00:41:14.040 --> 00:41:20.280
wilderness, and, and then into the wilderness led, now

495
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:25.680
baptized also in the Holy Spirit, and had that, you know,

496
00:41:25.720 --> 00:41:32.480
encounter with Satan himself, all on our behalf, 40 days, 40

497
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:35.720
nights and, and came victoriously preaching the

498
00:41:35.720 --> 00:41:39.360
kingdom and people began getting healed, and people began

499
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:44.480
following him. And so, and so here seeing the crowds, we're in

500
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:50.480
Matthew five, seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain. And

501
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:56.120
when he was seated, his disciples came to him. So those

502
00:41:56.120 --> 00:42:03.040
who identify as followers of him, as, as disciples, those

503
00:42:03.040 --> 00:42:07.880
who want to become the image of their master to live in his

504
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:13.760
disciplines, to learn of his ways to be transformed into his

505
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:18.960
image. Well, they did what he did. He walked from the crowds

506
00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:23.400
to the mountain, and they followed him. And again, I, I

507
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:27.480
don't know if it's so that everyone could hear from his

508
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:31.040
position. I don't know if he, you know, walked away so that

509
00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:34.480
he's not casting pearl before swine, and those who identified

510
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:37.400
as wanting to follow him would come and they would hear these

511
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:43.720
words, I'm not sure. But he opened up his mouth, and he

512
00:42:43.720 --> 00:42:52.160
taught them. And here we are. And so, so I don't know if I

513
00:42:52.160 --> 00:42:54.880
should show you the words, because this is the amplified

514
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:58.280
version. So there are a lot of words, but I love this

515
00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:04.560
description of understanding the Makarios blessedness of, of the

516
00:43:04.560 --> 00:43:12.440
Beatitudes. But look at this first one, blessed, happy, to be

517
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:19.800
envied, and spiritually prosperous with life, by and,

518
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:27.600
and, and, whoops, sorry, joy and satisfaction. So happiness, joy,

519
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:34.800
satisfaction, prosperous, enviable, in God's favor and

520
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:43.320
salvation, regardless of their outward conditions, are the poor

521
00:43:43.560 --> 00:43:51.640
in spirit, the humble, who rate themselves insignificant, for

522
00:43:51.640 --> 00:44:00.920
theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The thing that God says to seek

523
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:07.600
first, in one of his success principles, he gives to those

524
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:15.440
who are postured properly, like Daniel understood. Of all the

525
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:21.960
exalting that Daniel had experienced, it all came as a

526
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:28.520
result of his posture of utter humility, and contriteness of

527
00:44:28.520 --> 00:44:35.440
heart before God. And I'll just read a couple more, because

528
00:44:36.200 --> 00:44:41.920
we're going to then just allow God to bring us into encounter

529
00:44:41.960 --> 00:44:51.360
in that position here. Blessed and enviably happy, this is who

530
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:57.400
our God is, with a happiness produced by the experience of

531
00:44:57.400 --> 00:44:59.840
God's favor, and especially

532
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.720
conditioned by the revelation of his matchless grace

533
00:45:05.240 --> 00:45:10.240
are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.

534
00:45:11.860 --> 00:45:13.800
We see this all throughout scripture.

535
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:18.200
And again, we see it in what we just read in Daniel.

536
00:45:18.200 --> 00:45:23.200
He mourned how the people of God

537
00:45:23.700 --> 00:45:28.700
would be so easily led to choose to stray

538
00:45:29.020 --> 00:45:32.500
from his mercy and his goodness,

539
00:45:32.500 --> 00:45:37.500
to develop attitudes and habits and worships and praise

540
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:41.600
and traditions and cultures and feasts

541
00:45:41.600 --> 00:45:46.600
that were so opposed to his invitation into holiness.

542
00:45:49.860 --> 00:45:54.860
And Daniel mourned and he deprived himself in that mourning

543
00:45:55.860 --> 00:45:59.800
of the things he enjoyed.

544
00:46:07.260 --> 00:46:12.260
Blessed, happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous

545
00:46:16.980 --> 00:46:21.120
with life, joy, and satisfaction in God's favor

546
00:46:21.120 --> 00:46:26.120
and salvation, regardless of their outward condition

547
00:46:28.640 --> 00:46:33.640
are the meek, the mild, the patient, the long suffering

548
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:39.320
for they shall inherit the earth.

549
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:44.080
Again, we see Daniel's positioning.

550
00:46:44.080 --> 00:46:47.340
We see Jesus's positioning.

551
00:46:48.020 --> 00:46:53.020
We see that there is no self-righteousness.

552
00:46:54.500 --> 00:46:57.740
There's not even a petitioning for self

553
00:46:58.700 --> 00:47:03.700
except to acknowledge his holiness and to press in.

554
00:47:07.300 --> 00:47:10.380
This is so beautiful that God would say,

555
00:47:10.380 --> 00:47:13.380
Daniel fast, Daniel fast, and then Daniel, Daniel.

556
00:47:13.380 --> 00:47:18.380
And then just today, show me how Daniel lived the, whoops.

557
00:47:23.020 --> 00:47:24.540
I'm just gonna mute you, Ingrid,

558
00:47:24.540 --> 00:47:26.060
because we're on mute.

559
00:47:26.060 --> 00:47:27.300
I did.

560
00:47:27.300 --> 00:47:28.140
Oh, okay.

561
00:47:28.140 --> 00:47:28.960
I turned it off.

562
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:32.580
I switched my phone to my, I'm sorry, to the computer.

563
00:47:32.580 --> 00:47:33.420
Okay.

564
00:47:33.420 --> 00:47:34.860
Okay, sorry.

565
00:47:34.860 --> 00:47:35.860
No, it's okay.

566
00:47:35.860 --> 00:47:36.700
It's fine.

567
00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:42.340
I am patient and long suffering with you, my friend.

568
00:47:44.380 --> 00:47:48.220
I'm exercising the beatitudes.

569
00:47:48.220 --> 00:47:53.220
Okay, so I want you to see that Daniel understood his life

570
00:47:54.940 --> 00:47:58.660
on the outside was a result of his life on the inside,

571
00:47:58.660 --> 00:48:02.380
but that his life on the inside had to align with God

572
00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:06.120
and that he was dependent upon God to do that,

573
00:48:06.120 --> 00:48:08.200
to give that to him.

574
00:48:08.200 --> 00:48:12.060
And that's even before the Holy Spirit, right?

575
00:48:12.060 --> 00:48:16.060
So here, the kingdom is inside out.

576
00:48:17.180 --> 00:48:22.180
So all that we need, all that joy and peace can never come.

577
00:48:23.820 --> 00:48:28.820
It was one of my, in one of my heart healing clients today,

578
00:48:32.700 --> 00:48:36.380
I wrote this because I just saw it happening.

579
00:48:36.380 --> 00:48:41.380
Everything can change when nothing outside has changed.

580
00:48:43.060 --> 00:48:44.680
Everything can change.

581
00:48:46.100 --> 00:48:51.100
And it's all the gift of being invited here to Jesus.

582
00:48:53.260 --> 00:48:56.540
He suddenly, he gave Mary new eyes about who she was

583
00:48:56.540 --> 00:48:58.260
and who he was.

584
00:48:58.260 --> 00:49:00.620
And therefore she could see her sister

585
00:49:00.620 --> 00:49:02.360
from a whole different perspective.

586
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:05.980
She didn't have the same relationship with her sister.

587
00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:08.760
She didn't despise, she just wasn't going to be moved

588
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:10.460
by any other voice.

589
00:49:11.380 --> 00:49:14.580
And by any of the other people there,

590
00:49:14.580 --> 00:49:16.380
she followed one voice.

591
00:49:17.700 --> 00:49:20.060
And therefore it didn't matter what was going on

592
00:49:20.060 --> 00:49:25.060
on the outside, she had this victory on the inside

593
00:49:25.640 --> 00:49:30.520
and then she became significant in terms of her service

594
00:49:30.520 --> 00:49:31.360
to the outside.

595
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:33.400
She became an incredible testimony.

596
00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:36.800
To this day, we talk about her, right?

597
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.800
So, you know, we will go into these more deeply

598
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:47.040
but just understanding, you know, the merciful

599
00:49:47.040 --> 00:49:49.760
for they shall obtain mercy.

600
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:51.500
The, whoop, did I skip one?

601
00:49:51.500 --> 00:49:56.320
Yes, hunger and thirst for righteousness, uprightness

602
00:49:56.320 --> 00:49:58.040
and right standing with God

603
00:49:58.040 --> 00:50:00.320
for they shall be completely satisfied.

604
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.360
slide. We see this in Daniel's hunger. We see this in Daniel's complete surrender and turning.

605
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:13.520
And here he was a great man of state. There was none that carried the authority that he carried

606
00:50:13.520 --> 00:50:22.480
except for those who were rulers, who were the actually named king. He had that much authority.

607
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:34.400
And then the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. The pure in heart, for they shall see

608
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:43.360
God. Again, like, you know, the pure in heart. When we don't have a pure heart,

609
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:49.840
when I have a selfish heart, for example, an angry heart, a bitter heart, an unforgiving heart,

610
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:56.320
an entitled heart, an ungrateful heart, which I've personally gotten the privilege

611
00:50:56.320 --> 00:51:07.600
of experiencing to great, regrettable, intimate degrees. I don't see God in the situation.

612
00:51:09.200 --> 00:51:15.360
I don't see God in myself. I don't see God in the people making me angry,

613
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:21.280
or the situations making me angry. I can hardly see God in himself

614
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:33.040
for who he is. And so how much we need him to even just cleanse our hearts

615
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:41.360
so that it becomes him we see, just as Daniel. I mean, Daniel could have come with so much

616
00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:47.840
complaining. He could have come with so much entitlement. He could have come with so much

617
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:59.440
boasting. But he came with such purity of heart, such meekness, such desiring for what was right

618
00:51:59.440 --> 00:52:04.880
before God, such mourning for all the prayer, such humility of self.

619
00:52:09.680 --> 00:52:15.280
When we have purity of heart, even an angry person standing in front of us

620
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:23.760
is opportunity for us to see God, to see his perspective, to see him in them,

621
00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:33.520
to see his desire for them, to stand as intercessors. These are the principles of success.

622
00:52:37.520 --> 00:52:43.600
Last, and of course we'll go through all those as we proceed. I'm hastening because of the time, but

623
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:50.560
are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons of God.

624
00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:57.520
God doesn't come with his hands on his hips. He doesn't come with his hand on his head. He doesn't

625
00:52:57.520 --> 00:53:05.280
come with a finger extended. He doesn't come with gnashing of teeth. He comes with invitation.

626
00:53:06.560 --> 00:53:14.560
He's honest about the way things are, but that's so that we have the opportunity with honesty to

627
00:53:15.520 --> 00:53:27.440
turn entirely, to give ourselves no excuses for compromise, for blame, for shame,

628
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:35.520
for holding fast to anything that just isn't his nature. And that's him. He is

629
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:45.680
Yahweh Shalom. He is the Tsar Shalom, the Prince of Peace. He is entirely peace. And so when we come

630
00:53:46.240 --> 00:53:52.400
with that message of wholeness, that message of good news, that message of there's so much more

631
00:53:52.400 --> 00:54:01.360
than is seen here, let's have a look from Shalom's perspective. It is well with my soul.

632
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:09.760
I mean, I think about that song, my goodness. Wife and, no, not wife, but children

633
00:54:10.400 --> 00:54:19.760
perished in the sea. You have taught me to say Shalom. It is well with my soul.

634
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:23.040
Because of who he is.

635
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:30.080
And there was more. That man suffered the loss of his son prior, the burning down

636
00:54:30.080 --> 00:54:37.760
in Chicago of his businesses. It goes on. So peace, that's the offspring of God, because

637
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:42.000
that's who he brings. That's what Jesus taught. My peace I give you, my peace I leave you.

638
00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:49.040
Not like the world gives you, give I unto thee. Let not your hearts be troubled,

639
00:54:50.240 --> 00:54:55.520
neither be afraid. Trust you, trust in God, trust in me. And what did he do when he sent

640
00:54:55.520 --> 00:54:58.640
the laborers in? Declare peace.

641
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.600
They receive it, let them have it and you all enjoy peace.

642
00:55:03.600 --> 00:55:08.080
If they reject it, let that peace come back on you,

643
00:55:08.080 --> 00:55:11.240
shake the dust off your feet and move on.

644
00:55:13.080 --> 00:55:14.640
This is an inward kingdom.

645
00:55:14.640 --> 00:55:18.600
The kingdom of heaven is within you, even in your mouth.

646
00:55:18.600 --> 00:55:21.300
This is the great invitation.

647
00:55:21.300 --> 00:55:22.140
Okay.

648
00:55:23.640 --> 00:55:27.840
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake.

649
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:29.080
So the very thing he says,

650
00:55:29.080 --> 00:55:32.380
we need to hunger and thirst for and be filled with.

651
00:55:32.380 --> 00:55:35.020
Then blessed are we when people persecute us.

652
00:55:35.020 --> 00:55:35.860
Why?

653
00:55:35.860 --> 00:55:37.920
Because they don't know to hunger and thirst

654
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:38.760
for righteousness.

655
00:55:38.760 --> 00:55:39.580
They're in the darkness.

656
00:55:39.580 --> 00:55:41.740
They don't recognize the light.

657
00:55:41.740 --> 00:55:43.740
They're under the law of sin and death.

658
00:55:43.740 --> 00:55:46.540
They don't know the law of the spirit of life

659
00:55:46.540 --> 00:55:47.980
in Christ Jesus.

660
00:55:47.980 --> 00:55:51.620
They're under the dominion of darkness.

661
00:55:51.620 --> 00:55:52.820
They know sin and death.

662
00:55:52.820 --> 00:55:56.540
They don't know the kingdom of the son of God's love.

663
00:55:56.560 --> 00:55:58.720
So persecution doesn't affect us

664
00:55:58.720 --> 00:56:03.720
because we're just making a deposit of goodness and mercy

665
00:56:05.040 --> 00:56:06.840
that God can do the rest.

666
00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:13.880
Those who are blessed are you when people revile you,

667
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:16.520
persecute you and say all kinds of evil

668
00:56:16.520 --> 00:56:18.960
against you falsely on my account.

669
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:21.160
Be glad, always.

670
00:56:21.160 --> 00:56:25.240
Blessed, happy, be glad, be supremely joyful

671
00:56:25.260 --> 00:56:28.780
for your reward in heaven is great, strong and intense

672
00:56:28.780 --> 00:56:32.260
for in the same way people persecuted the prophets

673
00:56:32.260 --> 00:56:34.220
who were before you.

674
00:56:34.220 --> 00:56:35.380
You are salt.

675
00:56:35.380 --> 00:56:37.220
You are light.

676
00:56:37.220 --> 00:56:40.140
You are the difference maker.

677
00:56:40.140 --> 00:56:41.980
You bring the flavor.

678
00:56:41.980 --> 00:56:43.920
You bring the light.

679
00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:46.720
So you're not trying to be anyone else.

680
00:56:48.100 --> 00:56:51.260
So I don't know if you have something to write with,

681
00:56:51.260 --> 00:56:55.920
but I should have been prepared with that myself.

682
00:56:55.920 --> 00:57:00.380
But let's just take a moment to allow the Lord

683
00:57:02.120 --> 00:57:05.920
to bring this before we take communion,

684
00:57:07.120 --> 00:57:09.880
to just take this word from Daniel.

685
00:57:12.560 --> 00:57:14.480
And if you have anything,

686
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:19.480
if you need to jump in with questions or comments, feel free

687
00:57:21.260 --> 00:57:26.260
and, oh yeah, thank you.

688
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:28.280
Thank you.

689
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:31.000
I mean, thank you, Jill.

690
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:34.280
Yeah, and a little bit of 10, a little bit of Daniel 10.

691
00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:37.680
And there are so many, oh my gosh, the number of verses

692
00:57:37.680 --> 00:57:40.840
I could tell you about in cross-referencing,

693
00:57:42.440 --> 00:57:47.440
just what God means by coming in poverty of spirit

694
00:57:48.420 --> 00:57:53.420
and accessing the kingdom or coming in mourning

695
00:57:56.500 --> 00:58:01.500
and finding comfort and who he is as the comforter.

696
00:58:02.940 --> 00:58:06.260
He's the comforter because we need a comforter.

697
00:58:08.140 --> 00:58:10.460
And so, okay.

698
00:58:10.460 --> 00:58:15.460
So let's just go into his presence.

699
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:20.600
Let's invite in the Lord.

700
00:58:20.600 --> 00:58:23.560
And here we are at your feet, Jesus,

701
00:58:24.600 --> 00:58:29.600
having listened to these most marvelous

702
00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:31.880
and miraculous words.

703
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:33.440
They're so wonderful.

704
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:36.380
They're beyond anything we've ever heard in a school.

705
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:39.760
They're beyond anything.

706
00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:44.640
So perfect are these words.

707
00:58:44.700 --> 00:58:49.500
This purity of good news and blessedness

708
00:58:49.500 --> 00:58:52.940
and that nobody can take it away from us.

709
00:58:52.940 --> 00:58:56.260
It doesn't depend on what's going on around us.

710
00:58:57.420 --> 00:59:02.420
It's all about receiving your salvation to now come

711
00:59:06.140 --> 00:59:09.620
and give you glory and honor and praise

712
00:59:09.620 --> 00:59:12.880
to be delivered out from under self.

713
00:59:13.860 --> 00:59:18.860
And be brought nigh to behold the creator

714
00:59:20.940 --> 00:59:25.860
of the heavens and the earth and his bridegroom,

715
00:59:25.860 --> 00:59:28.820
the worthy lamb that was slain for us.

716
00:59:33.780 --> 00:59:38.780
Lord, I ask you to bring your word, Holy Spirit,

717
00:59:39.160 --> 00:59:43.840
to life in us like you impregnated Mary.

718
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:49.160
Be it done unto us according to your word

719
00:59:49.160 --> 00:59:54.160
to come in spirit, to come humbly, to come really.

720
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:09.760
ourselves insignificant. Our significance comes from you. It's more than we could ever

721
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:19.840
earn or be amazed by. You have declared our significance by birth and by cross. And by

722
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:31.200
invitation here today, we don't even need to work ourselves up into that. You have spoken.

723
01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:44.700
Now we want to ascribe to you your worth. Lord, whatever would keep us from coming to

724
01:00:44.700 --> 01:00:56.380
you humbly, to be able to mourn from all that which is separated from you and your creation

725
01:00:56.380 --> 01:01:13.580
and with meekness. Would you teach us what this means to us, Lord? Show us what you're

726
01:01:13.580 --> 01:01:25.660
inviting us into and what we can confess and give over to you in exchange for your

727
01:01:25.660 --> 01:01:28.340
everlasting forgiveness and righteousness.

728
01:01:43.580 --> 01:01:59.660
Lord, whatever would keep us from coming to you humbly, to be able to mourn from all

729
01:01:59.660 --> 01:02:06.660
that is separated from you and your creation and with meekness. Would you teach us what

730
01:02:06.660 --> 01:02:14.660
this means to us, Lord? Show us what you're inviting us into and with meekness. Lord,

731
01:02:14.660 --> 01:02:22.660
whatever would keep us from coming to you humbly, to be able to mourn from all that

732
01:02:22.660 --> 01:02:30.660
is separated from you and your creation and with meekness. Would you teach us what this

733
01:02:30.660 --> 01:02:36.660
means to us, Lord? Show us what you're inviting us into and with meekness. Lord, whatever

734
01:02:36.660 --> 01:02:43.660
would keep us from coming to you humbly, to be able to mourn from all that is separated

735
01:02:43.660 --> 01:02:48.660
from you and your creation and with meekness.

736
01:03:13.660 --> 01:03:19.660
Lord, whatever would keep us from coming to you humbly, to be able to mourn from all

737
01:03:19.660 --> 01:03:26.660
that is separated from you and your creation and with meekness. Would you teach us what

738
01:03:26.660 --> 01:03:31.660
this means to us, Lord? Show us what this means to us, Lord.

739
01:03:43.660 --> 01:03:48.660
Lord, whatever would keep us from coming to you humbly, to be able to mourn from all

740
01:03:48.660 --> 01:03:53.660
that is separated from you and your creation and with meekness. Would you teach us what

741
01:03:53.660 --> 01:03:58.660
this means to us, Lord? Show us what this means to us, Lord.

742
01:04:13.660 --> 01:04:32.660
Lord, thank you for showing us what it is that weighs down and distracts our hearts

743
01:04:32.660 --> 01:04:42.660
and minds from allowing you to celebrate us and us to celebrate you and each other and

744
01:04:42.660 --> 01:04:59.660
who you are in us in this world around us. Lord, we ask you to lift off the pain and

745
01:04:59.660 --> 01:05:17.660
the suffering that is in your heart and we ask you to lift off the joy that is in your

746
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:05.000
and the traumas attached to these distractions,

747
01:05:06.040 --> 01:05:09.740
these wounds, these areas,

748
01:05:14.560 --> 01:05:19.160
to remove from our hearts the vulnerabilities

749
01:05:17.660 --> 01:05:24.660
heart and we ask you to lift off the pain and the suffering that is in your heart.

750
01:05:20.600 --> 01:05:25.600
to such mindsets or attitudes or beliefs or transgressions.

751
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:36.000
And that, Lord, you would encourage us now,

752
01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:40.800
you would give us courage and strength

753
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:43.640
by the power of your love and your own faith

754
01:05:43.640 --> 01:05:48.360
and your grace to give you what you've brought

755
01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:51.880
to the surface once and for all.

756
01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:57.120
It all belongs to you,

757
01:05:57.120 --> 01:06:00.640
and we're going to seal it in covenant.

758
01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:05.400
But I ask you too, Lord,

759
01:06:11.640 --> 01:06:16.640
help us to connect with your face and your voice

760
01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:21.240
according to your word.

761
01:06:21.240 --> 01:06:26.240
And would you show our hearts, our eyes, our ears,

762
01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:38.440
Lord, what is it you'd like to give us

763
01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:42.600
instead of what we've been carrying?

764
01:07:51.240 --> 01:07:56.240
Lord, what is it you'd like to give us instead of what we've been carrying?

765
01:07:56.240 --> 01:08:01.240
Lord, what is it you'd like to give us instead of what we've been carrying?

766
01:08:15.240 --> 01:08:16.560
Lord, what does that mean,

767
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:21.120
and how would you like us to receive that?

768
01:08:26.240 --> 01:08:31.240
Lord, what does that mean, and how would you like us to receive that?

769
01:08:56.600 --> 01:08:57.760
Holy Spirit,

770
01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:05.120
you are the great gift from the storehouse of the Father.

771
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:09.399
You know all things,

772
01:09:09.399 --> 01:09:12.439
all things on the heart of the Father, you are God.

773
01:09:16.760 --> 01:09:20.640
I ask that you would now fill every place,

774
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:23.680
every heart, every cell,

775
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:28.680
every breath, every memory,

776
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:33.760
every one of these words, just fill with life,

777
01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:38.760
fill our bodies and our beings and our sisterhood

778
01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:44.279
and everything that you've cleansed us from,

779
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:46.880
everything that would keep your word

780
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:51.880
from being the seed of Christ in us,

781
01:09:51.880 --> 01:09:56.200
the hope of glory in these words.

782
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:11.640
And that you would root us in all those places deeply into your love. Deeply into your love.

783
01:10:11.640 --> 01:10:21.200
By faith, it's your idea. We believe it. I ask you to seal all this in your blood that

784
01:10:21.200 --> 01:10:34.360
cancels every other entitlement or plan. And Lord, I ask you to help us. Give us revelation

785
01:10:34.360 --> 01:10:52.800
of this as we partake. Mama, we have communion. Oh, you have it? Perfect. And that all this

786
01:10:52.800 --> 01:11:04.080
that we've read and received as a finished work, that this is who we are. Not cheaply.

787
01:11:04.080 --> 01:11:09.640
You're not blind like Daniel wasn't blind. He didn't kid himself. He knew there was a

788
01:11:09.640 --> 01:11:17.960
process to connect with the word that had been released. And Lord, we are being transformed

789
01:11:17.960 --> 01:11:26.120
into your image. We are being transformed into the image of this good news, the word

790
01:11:26.120 --> 01:11:33.560
of God, Jesus. The power of God unto salvation to them that believe that you first and then

791
01:11:33.560 --> 01:11:38.840
everybody else. And so we thank you that all the sins that we have brought to you and

792
01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:47.480
everything else, we don't remember every ailment, every concern. We partake of this covenant

793
01:11:47.480 --> 01:11:56.160
meal with you that you partook of with the Father and with your disciples in the body

794
01:11:56.160 --> 01:12:06.080
you said is broken for us. You were broken for all our brokenness. So we could be made

795
01:12:06.080 --> 01:12:17.280
whole with all your righteousness. And we, we agree and we partake as a sign to us and

796
01:12:17.280 --> 01:12:39.720
to all. We are in this covenant with you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Thank you for

797
01:12:39.720 --> 01:12:50.840
giving thanks for the ability to be broken bread for us and poured out wine for us. The

798
01:12:50.840 --> 01:13:01.040
blood of the new covenant, which you said shed for the forgiveness of sins and you declared

799
01:13:01.040 --> 01:13:11.360
it is finished. In all the places we have cried out, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

800
01:13:12.320 --> 01:13:18.800
Why have you forsaken my family? Why have you forsaken my body? Why have you forsaken my,

801
01:13:19.680 --> 01:13:28.160
my, my being married or my marriage or, or my prosperity or my Lord, you cried out with that

802
01:13:28.160 --> 01:13:38.320
same, that same cry and you identified all through that beautiful Psalm 22, Isaiah 53,

803
01:13:38.320 --> 01:13:48.720
taking on everything. God bless you, Jill. Taking on everything that would separate us from you

804
01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:56.400
so we could be not guilty, not because we've done anything right, but because you accomplished

805
01:13:56.400 --> 01:14:08.320
all righteousness for us. God bless you. So we thank you, Lord. We receive the forgiveness of sin

806
01:14:10.240 --> 01:14:20.080
for us and for everyone else. It's all in your hands. We thank you for this beginning

807
01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:28.960
of this word made flesh in us of this time as wise virgins gathered to you in Jesus name. Amen.

808
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:42.000
And then they sang a hymn. Does anybody have a hymn?

809
01:14:42.080 --> 01:14:50.880
How is everybody? Where is everybody?

810
01:14:56.880 --> 01:14:58.880
Any revelations?

811
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:18.480
I'm so glad you're here, my mother. I'm so glad you're here, my mother. Mother, oh mine.

812
01:15:18.480 --> 01:15:30.320
You amazing woman. All of you amazing, remarkable women. I'm going to start crying. And Carrie,

813
01:15:30.320 --> 01:15:35.760
we bless you. We bless you, Carrie. We bless you, Carrie. We know you're listening later.

814
01:15:37.200 --> 01:15:42.560
We include you here now. Well, go ahead, Ingrid.

815
01:15:43.280 --> 01:15:48.480
I can share something that the Lord, something cool that the Lord just showed me.

816
01:15:49.440 --> 01:15:54.880
First, you asked, what could we give up? So I charted those three things down. And then you

817
01:15:54.880 --> 01:16:05.280
asked, what would we want to receive from God? And then later on, I charted down three things

818
01:16:05.280 --> 01:16:09.440
for each. And then later on, I realized that I could map one to the other. So

819
01:16:10.400 --> 01:16:17.200
I felt like God is saying, you know, I need to watch my words for sure. But then God,

820
01:16:17.200 --> 01:16:23.440
I had put down in what he's going to receive. And without looking at the prior words,

821
01:16:23.440 --> 01:16:29.760
I felt like God's going to give me courage. And then the courage is like the desire to be heard,

822
01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:36.320
which I don't really like to, you know, do all the Facebook lives and all of that stuff and

823
01:16:36.320 --> 01:16:42.640
the content writing. So if he says, if I watch my words, then I will have more of a desire to be

824
01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:51.840
heard. And then, and then, and then he's, I have to watch to not be judgmental. And then I feel

825
01:16:51.840 --> 01:17:00.960
like he's giving me favor if I'm not judgmental. And if I let go of control, then I will have more

826
01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:07.120
faith and trust in him. So it's kind of cool that he showed me that there's maybe a direct

827
01:17:07.680 --> 01:17:14.240
link in my case, or that what he's going to give me when I give certain things up. So I'm going to

828
01:17:14.240 --> 01:17:20.560
stand on that what he showed me. Oh, my goodness. Okay, what was the last one? So it's my words

829
01:17:21.280 --> 01:17:28.240
for the first one was watch for watch your words. And then that he will give me a desire to be heard

830
01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:38.560
more courage, in other words, and stop being judgmental. And then he will give me favor,

831
01:17:39.360 --> 01:17:49.120
because I know that's got to slow me down. Right? And let go of control. And he'll give me more

832
01:17:49.120 --> 01:17:53.680
faith and trust in him. So he can control my life.

833
01:17:55.680 --> 01:18:03.680
Wow. So I'll hang on to that. Oh, I'm gonna hang on to it, too. This is what you guys,

834
01:18:04.400 --> 01:18:07.280
you gals, you ladies, you beauties, amazing beauties.

835
01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:16.080
Faith and trust in him. You know, when we want control, we're actually being controlled.

836
01:18:17.040 --> 01:18:26.080
And we are not trusting him, because we don't trust that he can handle it, that he can do it,

837
01:18:26.080 --> 01:18:31.600
that he will, that he wants to. There's something in it in us that says, if I don't,

838
01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:38.400
no one will. And it's up to me, which is laughable when we say it out loud, right?

839
01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:44.800
But there are parts of us like, oh, yeah, well, where was he? When? Right? But that's what heart

840
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:55.840
healing does. It connects us with where he was when. And that's the power of these exchanges.

841
01:18:57.040 --> 01:19:02.400
You know, Lord, I see that. Thank you. I give that to you. And you said, if we confess,

842
01:19:03.120 --> 01:19:07.280
you'll just give us what's in your hand, which is forgiveness. He can't give you anything but

843
01:19:07.280 --> 01:19:11.760
forgiveness. And he can only give you righteousness, which cleanses you of all unrighteousness.

844
01:19:12.480 --> 01:19:20.640
And so I love that correlation. Judgmentalism is not allowing other people favor in your own eyes,

845
01:19:20.640 --> 01:19:30.160
right? They don't measure up. And in Matthew 7, or in Luke, actually, like,

846
01:19:31.040 --> 01:19:40.160
judge not, lest ye be judged. For the same measure you use, those are verses attached to judgment,

847
01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:44.880
shall be measured back to you, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing,

848
01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:52.480
till men pour into your bosom. So that's like judgment for judgment, or favor for favor,

849
01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:59.840
faith and trust for the promises, or

850
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:07.860
are control for controlled. Then I love that part about like,

851
01:20:09.140 --> 01:20:13.860
yeah, if I'm not pleased with my work, I don't want some to hear

852
01:20:14.580 --> 01:20:20.180
me, right, that this is so rich. Okay, who else? This is so

853
01:20:20.220 --> 01:20:23.060
good. Thank you, Ingrid. I love this.

854
01:20:23.720 --> 01:20:29.600
So God gave me Second Chronicles 714, which is really good,

855
01:20:29.760 --> 01:20:34.080
because that's such a powerful scripture. But then last night,

856
01:20:34.080 --> 01:20:39.560
he woke me up at 2am and talked to me about, because I've been

857
01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:42.880
praying to him about a relationship, it just feels like

858
01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:45.040
I should shut the door and I have been shutting the door, but

859
01:20:45.040 --> 01:20:49.160
that person keeps knocking to come in. And so what he showed

860
01:20:49.180 --> 01:20:55.700
And so what he showed me is no compromise, and to be very

861
01:20:55.860 --> 01:21:01.060
decisive, and no compromise, when you know what the right way

862
01:21:01.060 --> 01:21:04.820
to go is, even though it's the hard way. And that, you know,

863
01:21:04.820 --> 01:21:08.860
those old neural pathways in our brain, like, years ago, I smoked

864
01:21:08.860 --> 01:21:12.260
and I craved smoking when I quit smoking, but it finally left,

865
01:21:12.340 --> 01:21:17.460
and, you know, other things and, you know, whatever. And so he

866
01:21:17.460 --> 01:21:22.920
was just answering my prayer and saying, leave it behind. Put

867
01:21:22.920 --> 01:21:30.080
your hand to the plow and don't look back. Luke 962. But it's

868
01:21:30.080 --> 01:21:35.760
been a battle, because I'm a compassionate person. And the

869
01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:40.360
way the enemy wants back in is to play on my compassion.

870
01:21:43.500 --> 01:21:45.440
Right, we want to be savior, right?

871
01:21:45.540 --> 01:21:47.220
Yeah. Enabler.

872
01:21:47.700 --> 01:21:51.920
Yeah. You know, God gave me also that was one of the scriptures

873
01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:55.500
for for today for this attachment to Daniel and what

874
01:21:55.500 --> 01:22:00.100
God's showing us in posturing is Second Chronicles 714. God

875
01:22:00.100 --> 01:22:03.660
spoke that through that for years. So I love that. He

876
01:22:03.660 --> 01:22:10.700
brought it up anyway. Yeah. He's so good. He's so good. And that,

877
01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:15.440
you know, the other thing. I love the knocking at the door,

878
01:22:15.440 --> 01:22:19.800
because we know who knocks at the door.

879
01:22:20.200 --> 01:22:24.600
Exactly. But every time we're moving, I don't know about your

880
01:22:25.040 --> 01:22:27.980
experience life. But every time I'm moving ahead in Christ, the

881
01:22:27.980 --> 01:22:35.880
enemy sends a very alluring lure on the surface. It's like, it's

882
01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:40.000
like sugar or chocolate. Yeah, momentarily, it tastes really

883
01:22:40.020 --> 01:22:41.860
good. But the outcome sucks.

884
01:22:43.500 --> 01:22:48.020
Yeah, totally. Yeah. I know the thing we think we can't live

885
01:22:48.060 --> 01:22:51.020
without boy, if we would just live without it, we would have

886
01:22:51.500 --> 01:22:57.340
life. Like, do you really want that? Yeah, I want it. I want it.

887
01:22:57.380 --> 01:23:05.260
Well. But then you say, I don't want this Lord. But yeah, he's

888
01:23:05.260 --> 01:23:14.080
so pure. I just love this. I love this idea of this

889
01:23:14.160 --> 01:23:21.760
transforming into his image be transformed by the renewing of

890
01:23:21.760 --> 01:23:26.560
your minds that you might prove that goodwill of God that

891
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:30.280
acceptable will of God that perfect will of God. Do not

892
01:23:30.280 --> 01:23:35.020
succumb, do not yield to the ways of the world, do not be

893
01:23:35.140 --> 01:23:40.140
conformed, formed negatively, right? By the ways of the world,

894
01:23:40.140 --> 01:23:42.220
no compromise in him.

895
01:23:42.700 --> 01:23:46.100
But that would be the enemy's way of trapping us, whether it

896
01:23:46.100 --> 01:23:53.980
be debt, bad relationship, not eating well, social media, it

897
01:23:53.980 --> 01:23:57.820
becomes a habit, too big a habit that takes time from God. All

898
01:23:57.840 --> 01:24:03.720
that is like the trap, you know, not to say that we can't have

899
01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:07.420
fun and stuff. That's not it. It's just to be very dead.

900
01:24:07.420 --> 01:24:11.200
Second, Peter came to mind your be be alert for the enemy.

901
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:14.140
Prowls like a roaring lion.

902
01:24:16.040 --> 01:24:20.960
Yeah, I love this. I heard from someone, an idol is something

903
01:24:20.960 --> 01:24:28.340
that you sin to get. Or you will sin if you don't get. Yeah,

904
01:24:28.660 --> 01:24:40.340
anger reveals an idol. Not good. So it came to me was this issue

905
01:24:40.340 --> 01:24:45.980
of like, like, you know, taxes, I hate to use the word cheating

906
01:24:45.980 --> 01:24:48.740
on taxes, because I think taxes are cheating me, right? That's

907
01:24:48.840 --> 01:24:51.720
that's like, there's my anger, right? I'm like, it wouldn't be

908
01:24:51.720 --> 01:24:54.320
a big deal if they were doing something righteous with it. But

909
01:24:54.320 --> 01:24:56.600
they're stealing and they're a bunch of thieves. And they're

910
01:24:56.600 --> 01:25:00.040
bunch of like, I get all like my blood.

911
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:08.400
starts to boil. And so I find ways, whatever ways I can, to

912
01:25:08.400 --> 01:25:13.440
not release money in taxes. Okay. Oh, you know what I'm

913
01:25:13.440 --> 01:25:18.560
saying? Like, so now, what I need to do is just like, humble

914
01:25:18.560 --> 01:25:22.960
myself, not not just, you know, give it away. But Lord, if this

915
01:25:22.960 --> 01:25:26.440
is a righteous tax, my faith needs to be in you because

916
01:25:26.440 --> 01:25:33.000
what's happening is, I'm not trusting God, my focus is on

917
01:25:33.040 --> 01:25:37.600
these people. So yeah, coming into agreement, even with my

918
01:25:37.600 --> 01:25:44.080
taxes, that can be a seed for righteousness in my land, right?

919
01:25:44.680 --> 01:25:48.480
So anyway, that's one of the things when I heard that an idol

920
01:25:48.480 --> 01:25:51.560
is something you send to get or you will send if you don't get

921
01:25:51.560 --> 01:25:55.880
anger reveals an idol and I was just like, you know, that one's

922
01:25:55.880 --> 01:25:59.720
been like one of those needling ones at the back of my mind.

923
01:25:59.720 --> 01:26:04.920
Like, I never I'll get mad at my husband if he's not listing

924
01:26:04.920 --> 01:26:07.640
things properly and listing everything that could possibly

925
01:26:07.640 --> 01:26:13.920
be listed. Okay, all right. I hear you. Okay. So anyway.

926
01:26:14.960 --> 01:26:16.440
Alright, alright. Who else?

927
01:26:18.640 --> 01:26:23.760
Just just to mention, with the roaring lion, I heard Creflo

928
01:26:24.240 --> 01:26:28.640
Creflo dollars say either this morning or yesterday, he said

929
01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:35.880
quoted, Satan, like a roaring line, he said, that lion roars,

930
01:26:36.280 --> 01:26:40.080
but you just have to remember that the line of Judah pulls his

931
01:26:40.080 --> 01:26:46.560
teeth out. And at the mention of the name of Jesus, he is in his

932
01:26:46.560 --> 01:26:53.440
powerless. I love that. Yes. The lion of Judah has pulled the

933
01:26:53.440 --> 01:26:59.040
teeth out of that nuisance. Yes. And he is just like a roaring

934
01:26:59.120 --> 01:27:05.760
lion. Yes, he's not one. He's not a realist. Yes. He has to

935
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:10.200
have permission. And he's just like we are learning through

936
01:27:10.200 --> 01:27:14.480
what we read in Daniel how to partner with this word, and not

937
01:27:14.520 --> 01:27:20.280
partner with the roaring lion. Or he's not a roaring lion. The

938
01:27:20.280 --> 01:27:25.720
one who prowls like, you know, who masquerades seeking whom he

939
01:27:25.720 --> 01:27:29.760
may devour. That's good, mom. Thank you. Love this. Okay,

940
01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:34.440
anyone else? What did what did God? What? What do you want to

941
01:27:34.440 --> 01:27:36.480
share that can bless us?

942
01:27:40.720 --> 01:27:41.640
Jill Wolf.

943
01:27:42.120 --> 01:27:51.160
And then I'm gonna have to jump. But um, yeah, he said, he said,

944
01:27:51.160 --> 01:27:58.320
give me your disappointment. Most of which as I started

945
01:27:58.320 --> 01:28:01.720
listing out what I was disappointed about are things

946
01:28:01.720 --> 01:28:05.200
that he doesn't even care about. I mean, he cares because I care

947
01:28:05.200 --> 01:28:09.280
about them, but they're not even things that he has any measure

948
01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:11.280
he has any measure of

949
01:28:16.440 --> 01:28:19.360
your hesitancy to trust me.

950
01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:27.000
Your need to plan and your desire to make things happen

951
01:28:27.040 --> 01:28:32.160
yourself instead of in partnership with me. And I've

952
01:28:32.160 --> 01:28:38.400
been going through this stage of this season. And I will speak

953
01:28:38.400 --> 01:28:43.840
that it's a season is not forever. That I'm a good

954
01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:51.600
planner, I plan things out, I see things organized. And he

955
01:28:51.600 --> 01:28:56.920
says, but you're relying on that and not me. So I want you to

956
01:28:56.920 --> 01:29:01.360
just do what I tell you to do next. And that's so hard.

957
01:29:02.360 --> 01:29:06.760
Because there's no, the only assurance is that he's got this.

958
01:29:06.760 --> 01:29:12.040
And that's a tough step for me. So I've always lived by the

959
01:29:12.040 --> 01:29:14.720
saying, if it is to be, it's up to me, like the world has

960
01:29:14.720 --> 01:29:18.040
pounded that business wise in my head. And I'm like, I know

961
01:29:18.040 --> 01:29:22.400
that's not you. So what do you want me to replace it with? So

962
01:29:22.400 --> 01:29:26.240
he said, if it is to be, it's so I'm saying if it is to be, it's

963
01:29:26.240 --> 01:29:32.320
up to he and he will lead me. And so that's what I'm going to

964
01:29:32.320 --> 01:29:40.200
sit in. He, what he gave me instead are things that I still

965
01:29:40.240 --> 01:29:47.400
want to explore with him. But rest, peace, affirmation, joy,

966
01:29:47.800 --> 01:29:52.800
stories, and people who will trust you at the rate at which

967
01:29:52.800 --> 01:29:55.440
you will trust me. I'm like, ooh, that's

968
01:29:58.200 --> 01:29:59.640
Yes, sir.

969
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:03.480
That's an issue of capacity.

970
01:30:03.480 --> 01:30:05.400
That's important.

971
01:30:05.400 --> 01:30:08.040
Well, at first I was like, are you sure you said that right?

972
01:30:08.040 --> 01:30:09.960
Because that feels funny.

973
01:30:09.960 --> 01:30:13.760
But you just affirmed that it, what it's,

974
01:30:13.760 --> 01:30:17.400
the capacity piece that I didn't necessarily understand that.

975
01:30:17.400 --> 01:30:18.720
Totally, totally.

976
01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:21.640
You think of Moses, you think of David, you think of Joseph,

977
01:30:21.640 --> 01:30:23.120
you think of Jesus.

978
01:30:23.120 --> 01:30:26.560
It's all those journeys in developing capacity

979
01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:29.880
for the incredible call to potential,

980
01:30:31.360 --> 01:30:34.240
determined what was able to be done

981
01:30:35.280 --> 01:30:38.560
when they met opportunity, when they met destiny.

982
01:30:39.400 --> 01:30:41.080
Well, I'm one of these people,

983
01:30:41.080 --> 01:30:43.760
at the end of a challenge or something to trust me.

984
01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:46.720
And he's saying, you want them to trust you,

985
01:30:46.720 --> 01:30:47.680
do you trust me?

986
01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:50.400
Like, this has to.

987
01:30:53.240 --> 01:30:56.120
One time, you might've heard this from me, Jill.

988
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:02.560
But one time, all I could see for like,

989
01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:05.680
just like two, three weeks or something.

990
01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:08.240
All I could see, you know, when there's a photograph,

991
01:31:08.240 --> 01:31:10.800
there's a photograph and then it just fades to white.

992
01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:12.520
The edges just fade.

993
01:31:12.520 --> 01:31:16.440
So I could see the back of Jesus's sandal,

994
01:31:16.440 --> 01:31:18.320
a little piece of his hem.

995
01:31:18.320 --> 01:31:23.320
He was stepping on a rock and then it just fades to white.

996
01:31:24.320 --> 01:31:26.440
And that's all I could see.

997
01:31:26.440 --> 01:31:29.120
And I kept like, trying to look around.

998
01:31:29.120 --> 01:31:32.360
Like, finally, I was like, Lord,

999
01:31:34.080 --> 01:31:37.200
all I can see is the back of your sandal

1000
01:31:37.200 --> 01:31:38.720
on a piece of your hem.

1001
01:31:38.720 --> 01:31:39.840
Where are you going?

1002
01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:41.560
I can't see.

1003
01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:46.600
And he said, Hillary, can you handle that?

1004
01:31:47.560 --> 01:31:49.080
Can you just follow?

1005
01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:53.360
How can that be enough?

1006
01:31:56.480 --> 01:32:01.480
So, yeah, like that's, you know, here we're writing,

1007
01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:03.520
we're working on our bylaws

1008
01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:05.520
for Taste and See Freedom Ministries.

1009
01:32:05.520 --> 01:32:09.480
And my son Jeremiah is on the board.

1010
01:32:10.400 --> 01:32:14.560
And I'm saying, son, here's how you become a board member.

1011
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:16.520
Here's what it means here we're going through.

1012
01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:17.360
And he's like, mother.

1013
01:32:17.400 --> 01:32:20.600
And he was like, debating with me.

1014
01:32:20.600 --> 01:32:25.600
He is a law major, but he's debating with me.

1015
01:32:25.720 --> 01:32:30.720
And he said, I said, Jeremiah, like, listen,

1016
01:32:32.080 --> 01:32:35.240
it's one thing for you to dishonor your parents.

1017
01:32:35.240 --> 01:32:40.240
It's one thing for you to get all prideful toward us

1018
01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:45.040
and we still serve you.

1019
01:32:45.080 --> 01:32:48.160
But on this, you don't come first

1020
01:32:48.160 --> 01:32:50.560
and I will not compromise.

1021
01:32:50.560 --> 01:32:51.440
You are learning.

1022
01:32:51.440 --> 01:32:54.280
And we asked you in advance,

1023
01:32:54.280 --> 01:32:56.800
is this something to which you can commit?

1024
01:32:56.800 --> 01:32:58.480
Here's what it means.

1025
01:32:58.480 --> 01:33:00.200
And you said, yes.

1026
01:33:00.200 --> 01:33:01.960
And now you will show up.

1027
01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:03.960
You have a year commitment.

1028
01:33:03.960 --> 01:33:05.880
You will learn what it means.

1029
01:33:08.560 --> 01:33:13.560
And so then he said, well, mom, I was just saying,

1030
01:33:14.280 --> 01:33:15.440
I need a roadmap.

1031
01:33:15.440 --> 01:33:17.520
I need to understand.

1032
01:33:17.520 --> 01:33:21.120
And I said, well, son, Jesus doesn't give us a roadmap.

1033
01:33:21.120 --> 01:33:23.640
He says, follow me.

1034
01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:29.320
So yeah, there are just times.

1035
01:33:29.320 --> 01:33:32.080
I mean, I was just raised up.

1036
01:33:32.080 --> 01:33:35.120
I mean, the fear of the Lord, because this is not my deal.

1037
01:33:35.120 --> 01:33:36.800
This is Jesus's deal.

1038
01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:40.960
So it will be above board in every way, you know?

1039
01:33:40.960 --> 01:33:45.960
And so the fact that, you know, I just,

1040
01:33:47.880 --> 01:33:51.200
my husband says I'm too easy on my kids,

1041
01:33:51.200 --> 01:33:53.600
but in this, I would not.

1042
01:33:53.600 --> 01:33:58.600
And it helped him to come under

1043
01:33:59.600 --> 01:34:04.600
because he saw I would only follow him when it came to this.

1044
01:34:06.880 --> 01:34:08.960
So imagine if I would only follow him

1045
01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:10.640
when it came to everything else.

1046
01:34:12.120 --> 01:34:14.400
I wouldn't have these kids that debate me all the time.

1047
01:34:14.400 --> 01:34:16.160
So that's where we're heading.

1048
01:34:18.160 --> 01:34:20.640
So Jill, that is pure gold.

1049
01:34:20.640 --> 01:34:23.840
I totally appreciate that you just shared that.

1050
01:34:23.840 --> 01:34:24.800
That's rich.

1051
01:34:26.840 --> 01:34:27.680
Thank you.

1052
01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:29.800
Any last, anyone else?

1053
01:34:29.800 --> 01:34:31.680
Jill or Jenny or mama?

1054
01:34:32.560 --> 01:34:33.640
No, okay.

1055
01:34:34.720 --> 01:34:35.880
All right.

1056
01:34:35.920 --> 01:34:40.920
Well, who would like to pray us out and bless this time?

1057
01:34:49.680 --> 01:34:51.160
Jill, come on.

1058
01:34:52.320 --> 01:34:54.880
And this is not what I normally do, but he was nudging me.

1059
01:34:54.880 --> 01:34:56.480
So, okay, here we go.

1060
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:13.240
Lord Jesus, thank you for this time that we can spend sitting at your feet and listening

1061
01:35:13.240 --> 01:35:22.820
and asking questions and not just learning from you, but learning your voice, learning

1062
01:35:22.820 --> 01:35:30.180
how it sounds, learning what you say, learning what compassion sounds like and what justice

1063
01:35:30.180 --> 01:35:33.300
sounds like and what grace sounds like.

1064
01:35:33.300 --> 01:35:44.120
So not just the principles, but just everything about how we love others here on earth.

1065
01:35:44.120 --> 01:35:46.400
We thank you for the space that Hillary's created.

1066
01:35:46.400 --> 01:35:53.680
Thank you for Hillary and the wisdom you've given her to lead us and to set up these opportunities

1067
01:35:53.680 --> 01:35:56.920
to talk to you this way.

1068
01:35:56.920 --> 01:36:00.920
Pray for each of us in the next 24 hours, since we'll be back in 24 hours, that you

1069
01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:13.160
will, as you promised, we give you this hour that you will teach us what we need to know

1070
01:36:13.160 --> 01:36:22.740
and that in the next 24 hours, we'll start to see that, start to feel the impact of sitting

1071
01:36:22.740 --> 01:36:30.220
at your feet for this last hour in your name, amen, amen.

1072
01:36:30.220 --> 01:36:36.580
So what we can do too, like, you know, rather than come on at the time and, you know, laugh

1073
01:36:36.580 --> 01:36:42.460
and, you know, wait for everybody, you know, just come on early if you want.

1074
01:36:42.760 --> 01:36:47.220
So if you want, just pop in early, have it on while you're getting ready or doing something.

1075
01:36:47.220 --> 01:36:51.160
And then that way we can connect live.

1076
01:36:51.160 --> 01:36:59.340
And then at the top of the hour, we can be in go time and we can all be present.

1077
01:36:59.340 --> 01:37:00.340
How's that?

1078
01:37:00.340 --> 01:37:01.540
Does that sound good?

1079
01:37:01.540 --> 01:37:08.780
So I mean, you all have the password, so you don't even need me, but I'll, if I'm available,

1080
01:37:08.780 --> 01:37:12.600
I'll even just pop it on a half hour early just because I love you all.

1081
01:37:12.600 --> 01:37:18.140
So that's no obligation, you know, just come in and if something, or you can just put it

1082
01:37:18.140 --> 01:37:21.900
on if nobody's there, you just wait while you do what you do.

1083
01:37:21.900 --> 01:37:28.300
But that way we can all be fully present and ready at the top of the hour.

1084
01:37:28.300 --> 01:37:36.020
So that's what came to me when you just prayed, Jill, see, already he is giving me wisdom.

1085
01:37:36.020 --> 01:37:37.020
I love you all.

1086
01:37:37.020 --> 01:37:38.980
Thank you so much.

1087
01:37:38.980 --> 01:37:39.980
So excited.

1088
01:37:39.980 --> 01:37:41.860
Hasta mañana.
