11:21everybody
11:26it's good to see you
11:28why don't you turn to your neighbor and
11:30tell them that if it's the truth and if
11:32it's not pray about it for a second and
11:34then let it be the truth
11:45[Music]
11:49all right I trust we don't have to do a
11:52mass repentance in that you were
11:54telling the truth it was nice to see it
11:57is good to be with the body of Christ
11:59and what an amazing service we had on
12:02Sunday
12:03thankful so thankful for what the Lord
12:05did how he moved and orchestrated that
12:08entire service I think it would be okay
12:10for us to just start this service with
12:12thanks for what he did on Sunday can we
12:14do that together Lord we're not going to
12:16easily forget what you did for us on
12:18Sunday and we thank you Jesus for one
12:21filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost
12:22thank you Jesus for the ministry of the
12:25body of Christ and how you strengthened
12:27and helped individuals all over this
12:29room I thank you Jesus thank you for
12:31your work among us we thank you Lord
12:35amen well Sunday was amazing and I loved
12:38what I experienced from the spirit
12:41and from the body of Christ what I
12:44witnessed in the body of Christ I just
12:47had to sit on that front pew at one
12:48point during the during the altar one of
12:50the altar times of the service and I I
12:54couldn't help but just cry and weep
12:56before the Lord at the ministry to one
13:00another to others that I was seeing and
13:03you all you all made that that possible
13:07and I'm thankful that God gives us his
13:10spirit and he get he gives us himself
13:12but he gives us one another as well and
13:16I am thankful for the body of Christ in
13:19first Samuel chapter nine Saul has been
13:21commissioned by his father before he is
13:23King to go and find his father's lost
13:26donkeys and as he's going
13:30he kind of gets worn out from this the
13:34Trek they're not being successful and he
13:36gets kind of maybe a little bit
13:38frustrated and he says you know what I'm
13:40just going to go back home I'm just
13:41going to give up I'm too tired this
13:43isn't working out the way I thought it
13:45was going to and the way that I wanted
13:47it so I'm just going to go back home and
13:49the servant that was commissioned to
13:51travel with him says you know what I
13:53just thought of something in the next
13:55town There's a man of God there let's go
13:58and see him of course they go and see
14:00him and it's Samuel and Samuel ends up
14:04of course talking with Saul and
14:06eventually he's telling him the Lord
14:08wants you to be the next king or the
14:10first king of Israel and I thought the
14:14role of that servant happened here on
14:17Sunday connecting people to their
14:20god-given Destiny connecting people to
14:22God in what he had for them and that's

30:49all the presence of the Lord is great
30:54nothing that will ever replace that
30:58so thankful the writer of the Hebrews
31:01said God
31:02Sunday times and diverse manner spake in
31:05time passed to the prophets
31:07hath in these last days spoken by his
31:10dear son
31:13I'm just glad God speaks
31:16I don't know how he speaks to you some
31:18people you know
31:20I'm
31:22I'm not like some people God doesn't
31:23wake me up at two o'clock or three
31:25o'clock in the morning he just
31:27understands he would be totally
31:31incoherent
31:33you know
31:34but I can be cut in the grass or taking
31:36a walk
31:38and and he speaks
31:41and I have conversations with God
31:44and I'm so glad that he speaks
31:47and he puts up with my inanities
31:49sometimes
31:50some of the challenges and stupid
31:52questions that I ask him
31:55I
31:57this message was born of that
32:00I just asked the Lord one day do you
32:03really know
32:05as I was watching the struggles of
32:07people saints of God who have been
32:10living for God for a long time
32:13do you really know
32:17what you have
32:20what treasure there is
32:23in the people of God
32:25[Music]
32:27and his response to me almost buckled my
32:32knees
32:33it was simple
32:35he said I know
32:37I bought the field
32:40just to get the treasure
32:43I bought the entire field
32:47paid the price for the whole thing
32:50I know what a treasure I have
32:54I know
32:56I preach this is not for anointed
32:59academics
33:00not for Sanctified Scholars
33:03I'm going to disappoint you tonight if
33:05you came just expecting a
33:08lofty lesson
33:10not going to happen
33:12but a message just a message
33:16I've come to deliver what God
33:18has given to me
33:20for you
33:22and someone who may be watching online
33:27from the second chapter of Revelation
33:29and then I'm going to Hebrews the fourth
33:32chapter in Hebrews the second chapter
33:34but from Revelation chapter 2
33:37and verse 1.
33:41John wrote unto the angel
33:44of the Church of Ephesus right
33:47these things saith he that holdeth the
33:50Seven Stars in his right hand
33:53who walketh in the midst of the seven
33:55golden
33:57candlesticks I am so glad
34:00sister Amber mentioned it about Sunday
34:02service but it is a it's a continuation
34:07of many other services it's just
34:10something that we don't need to take for
34:13granted
34:14because it doesn't happen everywhere
34:18I'm glad that he walks in the middle
34:22of the candlesticks the churches
34:25he says I I want you to read this second
34:28verse with me
34:31I Know Thy works and thy labor and thy
34:37patience and how thou canst not bear
34:40them which are evil and thou has tried
34:44them which say they are Apostles and are
34:47not and has found them Liars
34:51everybody say I know
34:53I know I want to drive that message home
34:56tonight
34:59he knows
35:02he doesn't have to surmise or guess he
35:06knows
35:07Hebrews chapter 4 verse 15 says this for
35:11we have not and high priests which
35:14cannot be touched with the feeling of
35:17our infirmities but was in all points
35:21tempted like as we are yet without sin
35:24Chapter 2 Verse 18 for in that he
35:29himself
35:33you're not alone
35:36It's Not A New Path
35:38in that he himself has suffered being
35:42tempted he is able to secure them that
35:47are tempted
35:52he knows
35:53he knows God bless you you may be seated
35:57in the name of the Lord
35:59my message tonight is going to be titled
36:03Fallen from fatigue ironically you know
36:08it's the hand of God I believe sister
36:10Amber mentioned at the very onset of
36:13this service about Saul
36:15seeking his father's donkeys and he grew
36:18tired
36:19he was fatigued from that from that
36:23Journey
36:25there was a project that was begun in
36:28New York City by the port authority
36:30in the late 60s
36:33a project that was would put two towers
36:37called the World Trade Center
36:40in the in the 70s this project was begun
36:45and they anticipated that this project
36:48would eclipse the Empire State Building
36:54the man that they hired
36:57for this project as a structural
36:59engineer was a man by the name of Leslie
37:02Robertson
37:04he had to answer a lot of questions a
37:07few years later
37:08about what had happened
37:10but Leslie Robertson headed up a team of
37:13Structural Engineers and they planned
37:17for an infrastructure that could
37:19withstand a bomb attack at which it did
37:23at one time a bomb was uh ignited in the
37:27the parking garage of the the the towers
37:30of the World Trade Center that he he had
37:33to plan for uh something that would
37:36withstand an accidental now we don't
37:39think about these things but he had to
37:40think about these things withstand an
37:43accidental impact from a slow flying 707
37:48airplane
37:50which years ago one ran into the Empire
37:54State Building and it still stood so
37:57this man Leslie Robertson planning a
38:01larger project had to determine whether
38:04this building was able to withstand the
38:08impact of an airplane a 707 which was at
38:12the time the largest airplane flying
38:18the planning was expansive to design
38:21structures that could withstand winds
38:25storms lightning strikes fires and all
38:31kinds of attacks
38:34and then
38:36on 9 11.
38:402001.
38:41the unthinkable
38:43happened
38:45that paradoxically both paralyzed and
38:50galvanized the United States of America
38:53and was a rude wake-up call to all of us
38:59if you've ever stood at the World Trade
39:01Center the sight of that you've seen the
39:04beams the Twisted beams that represent a
39:09building that once stood there it was
39:12made from steel as thick as the the span
39:16of the a man's hand it doesn't exactly
39:19show it quite as large as it is on there
39:22but these beams are thick with steel
39:27they were made to support
39:30one million tons of steel and concrete
39:35and glass and as those two airplanes
39:40came ramming into that building
39:43the impact of two 767 Jets weighing no
39:49more than 400 000 pounds of peace and
39:54the metal you can see it there the metal
39:58began to fatigue
40:01and stress they tell me that when a
40:05building like that begins to collapse
40:07you can hear it almost grown as the
40:12metal gives way and begins to develop
40:15those stress fractures that spread and
40:19that unshakable metal gave way to
40:24fatigue
40:27it just could not support the stress
40:31that was placed upon it and those two
40:35Twin Towers
40:38110 stories high over
40:421360 feet tall if you add the antenna on
40:46top of the North Tower it was
40:491888 feet tall They Came Crashing Down
40:54and we watched in horror as they came
40:57smashing to the ground and all of those
41:01lives were lost
41:05the lesson that I want us to take away
41:08from this tonight
41:11is that you can plan as much as you will
41:17you can amass your wealth you can have
41:21your money stashed in several Banks
41:25you can acquire houses and property and
41:29make all of your plans for the future
41:32you can tear down your Barns and build
41:36bigger barns to house everything that
41:39you possess you can build your resume
41:43you can enhance your skills you can
41:47increase your education but hear the
41:50words of this old guy up here
41:53life will eventually take a toll on you
41:58and me it takes a toll on all of us and
42:04it begins to wear us down they say that
42:08in the major leagues to make it there
42:11anybody can hit a fastball
42:16but if you're going to make it in the
42:18big leagues you've got to be able to hit
42:21the curveballs
42:22in life
42:24everybody can hit the fastball one
42:28that's tossed straight down the middle
42:30no matter what the velocity we acclimate
42:34ourselves to situations but brother
42:37sometimes life throws us some curves
42:40that we are not able to handle on our
42:45own
42:47sometimes life gives you stresses that
42:51you never planned on and you couldn't
42:54ever foresee but thanks be to God there
42:58is somebody who knows tonight
43:05we walked in some low valleys I'm
43:08looking into the faces of dear children
43:10of God who have walked in some Low
43:13Places I personally as have you I've
43:17stood by the gravesite of of with young
43:21people who are lowering up casket that's
43:24no bigger than a cooler an ice chest
43:27into the ground and I've seen their
43:30heartbreak as they never got this life
43:33off the ground really I've seen people
43:37struggle single moms through their lives
43:40who have struggled to make ends meet
43:44somebody in a marriage where the spouse
43:47just walks away and said I've had enough
43:50of this I've seen people lose their jobs
43:53and their livelihoods as the stresses of
43:56Life take place on them I've watched the
44:00Heartbreak in the heartache and
44:02sometimes in life you just need to hear
44:06some reassuring words before you're
44:09falling from fatigue
44:14sometimes you just need somebody to come
44:17alongside of you and say I know what
44:22you're going through but even if there
44:25is no one else I am going to give you a
44:28message tonight that there is one
44:32a high priest that we have who was
44:36tempted in all points like as we are and
44:40he is able to secure them who are being
44:45tempted
44:49I taught Revelation for years
44:53I've taught it practically every which
44:55way I could teach it
44:58you ever hear the phrase you can't see
45:00the forest for the trees
45:03I looked at the tree so closely
45:06brother Williford I saw the details of
45:09Revelation
45:10I've dissected these seven churches so
45:13many ways you can't imagine
45:17all that preaching and teaching about
45:21the seven churches of Revelation in
45:23chapters two and three
45:25but I missed it
45:27what I missed was the overarching and
45:33common theme to every church and it
45:38still applies today
45:40this theme is a message to the battle
45:45weary
45:46to keep the fatigued from becoming the
45:50Fallen Act listen nobody in the world
45:54wants your success more than him
45:57nobody in the world in your life wants
46:01to see you make it more than he wants to
46:04see you make it him and so when you
46:07begin to get weary under the stresses of
46:10Life there is somebody who will come
46:12alongside of you and say to you I know
46:16what you're going through
46:22in Revelation
46:25it is repeated here eight times to these
46:30seven churches
46:31I know
46:34brother I want somebody to get the
46:36impact of that tonight somebody needs to
46:39hear this message that he knows where
46:43you are he knows what you're going
46:46through he knows this was not just a
46:51message for the early church but across
46:55the centuries and and Millennia of time
46:58this message is as fresh and new to me
47:02tonight as it was when John wrote these
47:06words of from the Isle of Patmos
47:10somebody needs to hear the savior's
47:14Voice tonight
47:15saying I know
47:18you thought you stood in isolation you
47:22thought you stood in abandonment you
47:25thought everybody had fled from you but
47:28there is a friend that will not abandon
47:32you he says I'm closer than your family
47:35members
47:38I know
47:40eight times he says I know
47:44and in each time he reveals an intimate
47:48detail about each situation he said I
47:53know your works and I know your patience
47:57I know your tribulation and I know your
48:01poverty I know where you live and I know
48:05about your faithfulness oh my God you
48:09thought nobody was taking note of that
48:11but there's somebody that's seeing
48:13everything and he knows all about it he
48:18said I know your love I know your
48:21service and laodicea I know about your
48:26failing strength and the fatigue that's
48:29setting in and the lukewarm condition
48:32that is setting in upon you but there's
48:36the message tonight before your fatigue
48:40causes you to crash and burn and fall
48:43hear the voice of the Savior just one
48:47more time he wants you to know that he
48:51knows exactly what you're going through
48:56just worship him a minute here thank you
48:59Lord because you know
49:01exactly where I am
49:05Hallelujah
49:06Hallelujah
49:08I remember JT Pugh talking about it
49:11as a pastor in Texas going to the map
49:15brother Williford pointing to the map
49:19brother you get that feeling sometimes
49:21nobody knows where I am and nobody knows
49:25who I am
49:26but he went to the map and pointed out
49:28God this is JT and this is where I am
49:33brother I don't care how high or low you
49:37are we all experience those times of
49:41isolation and abandonment we just need
49:44to go to one and who knows of somebody
49:48that we can call upon who will answer
49:50and respond to us and reassure me in my
49:55heart I know exactly where you are
50:01and so he speaks to these churches he
50:05gives them these words of encouragement
50:08to keep them and counteract the battle
50:13fatigue
50:16you ever get tired
50:19you ever get weary
50:21this is not a battle for the faint of
50:24heart
50:25it's not one that ends
50:28ever in life I remember one of the first
50:32funerals I ever preached
50:35was an elderly man
50:3780 years plus he was in his upper 80s he
50:42had lived for God for a lot of years
50:45we used to have conversations about the
50:48Bible but I could see and he would tell
50:50me the pain that he was in and the
50:54isolation that he felt I remember
50:57getting the call one morning you've got
51:00to come
51:01he had taken a rifle put it under his
51:05chin he had convinced or the enemy maybe
51:08had convinced him I don't know but he
51:11had convinced himself that even if he
51:14did this that he would not be separated
51:16from the love of God the enemy has all
51:19kinds of twists and tricks of to get us
51:23in his grasp but brother let me tell you
51:25something if that can happen to somebody
51:28who's walked with God for a long time I
51:31must be on my guard against The Wiles of
51:34the enemy
51:37Hallelujah
51:39and here's the messages as he unfolded
51:43them to these churches in Revelation he
51:46said you have left your first love but I
51:50want you to know somebody hear me
51:52tonight I have not abandoned you you
51:57walked away from me somebody online
52:00needs to hear this message of you walked
52:03away from him but he has never abandoned
52:06you he is still appealing and calling to
52:11you and letting you know that wherever
52:14you go David said if I take the wings of
52:17the morning and I fly off to the
52:19uttermost parts of the sea if I Ascend
52:22to the Heights or I make my bed in hell
52:25that you are there
52:30he says I've not abandoned you
52:34to the church that's going through the
52:36persecution that is going to take their
52:39lives he said to them I've conquered
52:43your greatest fear
52:46I am he that liveth
52:49and I was dead
52:52and behold I am alive forever more to a
52:58church that's in a battle he says I'm
53:01right here with you to fight for you he
53:05says to those who are walking in the
53:07fire look at my feet they're like
53:11burnished brass I've been in the fire
53:14and so I can walk with you in the fire
53:17don't think that just because you're in
53:20the fire you're by yourself there's
53:23somebody that fourth man that was with
53:26the three Hebrew children he's in your
53:29fire tonight
53:34go ahead
53:37Hallelujah
53:40Hallelujah
53:47Hallelujah
53:50you thought things in your life were
53:52dead
53:54you say I can't feel him anymore
53:56he says to you I have the power to
54:01resurrect things that you thought were
54:04dead I can bring them back to life again
54:07I can do things that you thought were
54:09impossible he says to the church at
54:13Philadelphia I'll open doors for you
54:16that you didn't even know existed he
54:19sits before them an open door but to the
54:23church at laodicea he says to them I
54:27don't just have the final word I am the
54:31final word I am the amen and the
54:36faithful witness somebody hear me
54:38tonight when you think it's over it's
54:41not over not until the amen is
54:45pronounced and steps into your situation
54:52Hallelujah
54:54every Temptation that you face
54:57is designed to tear it the fabric of
55:00faith
55:00and reinforce your doubt and your
55:04unbelief and just aware you down
55:09as a matter of fact in the Book of
55:11Daniel he talks about that man of sin
55:14that ultimately will rule the world and
55:17he said he will wear out
55:19the Saints of the most high God
55:23he's going to try to wear you down he's
55:26going to try to make you become fatigued
55:29he wants to to make you just wary but my
55:33Bible tells me be not wary in will do
55:38well in well doing because you are going
55:42to reap if you don't faint just keep the
55:48faith don't let go of the faith when you
55:52feel yourself starting to go down for
55:55the last time just call on a name that
55:58is above every name and he comes to your
56:02Aid to secure you
56:06recent times have taken a toll on all of
56:10us
56:11the rapidity with which events have have
56:13occurred in the last few years are just
56:17shocking they are amazing they have worn
56:21at us they have eaten away at us they
56:25have tried to weaken us they take the
56:28toll on us and what the years don't
56:31devour circumstances want to ravage and
56:35take away from us and I see the saints
56:38of God you great people of God living in
56:42a culture that is completely hostile to
56:45your way of life and and I see people
56:48getting weary under the load and the
56:51burden that they have to bear as they
56:53walk through this world of the bread
56:55just living from day to day will take
56:59its toll on you but I've got a message
57:02for you he knows it's simple I know but
57:07if we get a hold of that message up he
57:10knows he's been there you don't have to
57:13worry about it
57:18look at Isaiah 54 with me
57:23we quote the next scripture a lot
57:29but look at this what prefaces verse 17.
57:35he said
57:41I
57:42have created that blacksmith
57:46that blows in the coals of fire that
57:49brings forth the instrument for his work
57:53I
57:55have created
57:59this is a hard Truth for us
58:03God
58:04has got everything
58:07in control
58:11he that enemy that's come against you
58:16he's just a creative being
58:20the weapons that he brings against you
58:24God says I created that blacksmith that
58:27created those weapons
58:29somebody ought to shout about this
58:33he said I've created him I got him on a
58:36tether don't worry about it the next one
58:38is what we quote a lot
58:41verse 17.
58:45because of that
58:47because I've got everything in control
58:51he says no weapon
58:54that is formed against thee shall
58:58weak
58:59in the Hebrew
59:04say that one with me
59:06celiac
59:08he says it's not going to reach the
59:13target
59:18it's never going to make it to where
59:21it's supposed to go it's not going to
59:25prosper you keep that in mind as we go
59:27along
59:28okay in verse 55 or chapter 55 here's
59:34the Contra point to all of that
59:40so shall now he just told us back there
59:44that the weapons that's formed against
59:46us are not
59:49going to prosper
59:52will what will
59:55so shall my word be that goeth forth out
59:59of my mouth
1:00:01it
1:00:03shall not return unto me void but it
1:00:08shall accomplish
1:00:12it shall accomplish that which I please
1:00:15what's going to prosper it shall prosper
1:00:20the word is going to prosper the weapons
1:00:23won't Prosper but the word will prosper
1:00:27the weapons won't Prosper but the world
1:00:30will prosper the weapons will prosper
1:00:33but the word will prosper
1:00:38oh Hallelujah somebody grab a hold of
1:00:42that tonight the weapon's not gonna harm
1:00:45you it's not gonna make it but the word
1:00:48is going to grow in your life and it
1:00:51will accomplish
1:00:55brother Williford preached a while back
1:00:58and I I mentioned to him after the
1:01:00service I would to God
1:01:03that a Revival of the word would take
1:01:05place
1:01:07in such a way that we would accept the
1:01:10authority of the word of God just like
1:01:13we have the word of the doctor
1:01:19I have watched children of God go to the
1:01:22doctor and at the word of a doctor they
1:01:25begin a steady decline
1:01:27just because a doctor told him something
1:01:34just because the doctor gives a
1:01:37pronouncement that's evil
1:01:40I would to God tonight that the people
1:01:43of God would accept the authority of the
1:01:47word of God like we do that of a
1:01:50doctorate or of a banker
1:01:53or of a loan officer or of a hiring
1:01:57manager or of anybody else who has been
1:02:00verbally abusive and has told you that
1:02:04you are worthless and you are no good
1:02:06I'm here to tell you tonight it will not
1:02:11Prosper because there is a word that
1:02:14supersedes the word that is evil
1:02:22are you hearing me tonight
1:02:24he knows
1:02:27everybody say he knows
1:02:29I'll say it again
1:02:31he knows
1:02:33he knows where you are
1:02:36the enemy listen
1:02:38the enemy knows
1:02:40he can't defeat you
1:02:44but he can wear you out
1:02:47he can wear you down to a frazzle
1:02:52yeah
1:02:54and if he can't defeat you
1:02:57'll wear you down till you defeat
1:02:59yourself
1:03:02are you hearing me
1:03:06we beat ourselves
1:03:09more often than the Devil beats us
1:03:12all he's got to do is plan a thought or
1:03:15bring an evil report and it will utterly
1:03:19defeat Us in chapter 31 of of first
1:03:24Samuel
1:03:27look at this
1:03:28and the battle went sore against Saul
1:03:31and The Archers hit him
1:03:34and he was sore wounded
1:03:37of The Archers
1:03:42the enemy
1:03:44if he can't wear you down he'll wound
1:03:46you
1:03:51but there's something that you possess
1:03:52as a child of God
1:03:55he can wear you down and he can wound
1:03:57you but he cannot take the life that God
1:04:02has placed within that Born Again Holy
1:04:07Ghost baptized Spirit-filled child of
1:04:11God he can wear you down he can wooja
1:04:14but it can't take that Spirit out of you
1:04:17if you don't surrender to him
1:04:22and so
1:04:24verse 4.
1:04:27then said Saul to his armor Bearer draw
1:04:30thy sword and thrust me through there
1:04:32with lest these uncircumcised come and
1:04:35thrust me through and abuse me now
1:04:36listen to me
1:04:38he needed an armor Bearer
1:04:41that needed to tell him
1:04:43as long as God is on our side the enemy
1:04:48cannot defeat us
1:04:51the armor Bearer says I'm not going to
1:04:55take your life
1:04:57therefore
1:05:00Saul
1:05:01took a sword
1:05:04what the enemy couldn't do
1:05:07he got Saul to do for him
1:05:10what the enemy couldn't steal and take
1:05:13he couldn't have beat him
1:05:16but Saul did it to himself he fell on
1:05:21his own sword he wants to convince you
1:05:26that you are without help and you are
1:05:29without hope but I am here to tell you
1:05:32again tonight I know where you are I
1:05:36know where you're living I know what
1:05:39you're going through and I am here to
1:05:42save you
1:05:44the enemy would have you fall on your
1:05:47own sword this sword is meant to save
1:05:50you never to kill you but friend if we
1:05:54don't respond correctly to the enemy
1:05:56with this sword it will end up being our
1:06:00judgment
1:06:05don't fall on the sword that is meant to
1:06:09defend and win victories for you at that
1:06:13time what some of us need tonight
1:06:18is just somebody like me telling you
1:06:23that no matter where you are in your
1:06:26situation that you are not alone you
1:06:30haven't been abandoned I know I've said
1:06:33it more than once but it Bears
1:06:35repetition God wants you to know that he
1:06:39is for you and if God be for us then who
1:06:44can be against us
1:06:50be like rather Eliezer
1:06:53II Samuel chapter 23 and 10.
1:06:57this was one of David's Mighty Men the
1:07:01unlikely name he had to go through life
1:07:03with this Eliezer the son of dodo
1:07:10so it made him tough Like A Boy Named
1:07:12Sue I guess
1:07:13it made him tough and we when he was set
1:07:17upon by the Philistines and he was in
1:07:20the little barley patchum and he grabbed
1:07:23a sword and he began to fight and he
1:07:26wouldn't put the sword down he kept on
1:07:29fighting he arose and smote the
1:07:32Philistines and until his hand was weary
1:07:35and his handclaved to the sword can you
1:07:38imagine finding Eliezer coming up to him
1:07:41and he's still fighting like a madman
1:07:44and all the enemies are already wasted
1:07:46and you gotta pry his fingers from
1:07:49around the sword
1:07:51God give us the spirit of an eliaser
1:07:55that says I'm not giving up I've
1:07:57invested too much in this it may look
1:08:00like just a barley patch to the world it
1:08:03may look for foolish to the world but I
1:08:06am not giving up you'll have to pry my
1:08:10fingers from around this thing I'm in it
1:08:14until the end
1:08:16ah Hallelujah
1:08:22I'm gonna quit
1:08:24our high priest
1:08:26the writer to Hebrews says our high
1:08:28priest
1:08:29he's been there
1:08:31and he's able to secure
1:08:33I got blessed myself as I began to study
1:08:37this this word
1:08:39boy Theo
1:08:41it means
1:08:43to run
1:08:45to a cry
1:08:46or a call
1:08:48he is able to secure
1:08:51he will run
1:08:53to a cry or a call
1:08:57when you're down at your lowest level
1:09:00and all you can do is whisper broke out
1:09:04the name of Jesus all you can do is call
1:09:09upon that one thing that sustains you
1:09:12through your entire life you just call
1:09:14on the name of Jesus and the Bible says
1:09:18he will come around in that it's not
1:09:21like he took leave of us but it's just a
1:09:24a kind of an expression to let us know
1:09:26that when we Call On Him He will draw
1:09:30very nigh to us
1:09:34foreign
1:09:36has been there
1:09:41Elijah
1:09:43remember Elijah
1:09:45he just faced down 850 prophets of Baal
1:09:50hire down from heaven
1:09:52and he's on the heights of Carmel
1:09:55and then he finds himself in the depths
1:09:58of a cave
1:10:00because Jezebel said I'm going to kill
1:10:02you she prophylied
1:10:05she couldn't kill him
1:10:07God had his hand on him
1:10:09but from the heights of victory
1:10:12to falling in
1:10:15fatigue he said I'm just wary I'm the
1:10:18only one of my kind
1:10:20I'm in this cave and they're pursuing me
1:10:23to take my life
1:10:24and God says I want to take you
1:10:27somewhere
1:10:28get up on this mountain
1:10:30I want to show you something
1:10:32he said there was fire that fell there
1:10:36was lightning that came around there was
1:10:40an earthquake that shook the place
1:10:42but then
1:10:44there was a still
1:10:47small
1:10:49voice
1:10:55I can just imagine
1:10:57this old prophet
1:11:00with the scars of battle upon him
1:11:04as this voice speaks to him I'm just
1:11:06going to speculate here but I believe
1:11:09that God was somehow communicating to
1:11:11him
1:11:12I know
1:11:14I know
1:11:16Where You Are
1:11:18I know what you've been through
1:11:20I just want to let you know
1:11:23that I haven't abandoned you
1:11:27I will not leave you
1:11:30we have a promise from the lips of the
1:11:33Savior who says
1:11:36I will never
1:11:40leave you
1:11:43or forsake you
1:11:45in times like that when we're at our
1:11:48lowest point
1:11:50that's when God draws the closest
1:11:54because in order for Elijah to hear a
1:11:56whisper
1:11:58you've got to be really close
1:12:03we see the spectacular moves of God's
1:12:06spirit
1:12:07but in those times when you are at your
1:12:10weakest point
1:12:12when you've got no energy left
1:12:15and life has just worn you down
1:12:18he pulls you close
1:12:22gets right in your ear
1:12:25and Whispers
1:12:27I
1:12:28am
1:12:30with you
1:12:32always
1:12:34and I know
1:12:36what you're going through right now
1:12:39let's stand
1:12:45I want to open this altar just for a
1:12:47season of Prayer
1:12:50there are people here who have gotten
1:12:52evil reports from doctors there are
1:12:55people here who are suffering financial
1:12:57crisis
1:12:59the Lord says I know all of that
1:13:02I know your works I know your
1:13:04tribulation

1:13:22who are feeling just a fatigue
1:13:26it gets us
1:13:30just living we come into this place and
1:13:33someone's aptly phrased it like this
1:13:36the spirit of God just kind of washes
1:13:39away from the soul the dust of everyday
1:13:42living
1:13:44still that kind of spirit in this place
1:13:46tonight
1:13:48that you just need to have some of the
1:13:51Dust of everyday living
1:13:54washed off
1:13:56and a refreshing to take place maybe you
1:13:59just need somebody to come alongside you
1:14:01and say I know I know what you're going
1:14:05through

1:21:39was a Wednesday night several years ago
1:21:41I just got back from the hospital one of
1:21:43those visits for the Cardinal and the
1:21:45Lord brought me back to this moment I
1:21:46was in a youth service in the back I was
1:21:49tired
1:21:50I was not teaching that night I just
1:21:52stood off to the side and if I'm honest
1:21:54I was I was having a hard time lifting
1:21:56my hands and worshiping like some in the
1:21:59room probably face tonight I remember a
1:22:01message in tongues came and the Lord
1:22:03spoke to us and he said I now I know how
1:22:05far you can bend
1:22:07and I know when you'll break
1:22:10he said I'll let you bend but I'm not
1:22:13going to let you break I'm not going to
1:22:14let you fall apart I'm not going to let
1:22:16you fail
1:22:18but I I'm going to be with you and I
1:22:20knew in that moment he knows
1:22:23he knows and he knows so much on a
1:22:26Wednesday night God can step into any
1:22:28Wednesday night he wants and strengthen
1:22:30us and he knows so much and he paused
1:22:33and he'd allow for this time he'd send
1:22:35with a carton with a word to strengthen
1:22:38someone if you need strength lift your
1:22:40hand right now if you would and we're
