WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.799
>> HEY, GUYS.
00:00:00.899 --> 00:00:02.233
WELL, TODAY I'M SITTING DOWN
00:00:02.333 --> 00:00:04.166
WITH MY HUSBAND AND WE'RE
GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
00:00:04.266 --> 00:00:05.966
JUST LIFE LATELY.
00:00:06.066 --> 00:00:08.299
I'M 35 WEEKS
PREGNANT AND GOD'S JUST
00:00:08.399 --> 00:00:10.199
BEEN PUTTING STUFF
ON OUR HEARTS.
00:00:10.299 --> 00:00:11.632
AND WE JUST WANTED TO
SHARE WITH YOU WHAT
00:00:11.732 --> 00:00:13.499
HE'S SHOWING US IN THIS
TIME AND SEASON.
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:23.932
[ MUSIC ]
00:00:24.032 --> 00:00:25.966
>> HEY, WELCOME TO THE
REBECCA WEISS PODCAST.
00:00:26.066 --> 00:00:28.966
I'M JOINED WITH
MY HUSBAND TODAY.
00:00:29.066 --> 00:00:30.266
WHY ARE YOU SMILING?
00:00:30.366 --> 00:00:31.566
>> OH, I DIDN'T WANT
TO INTERRUPT.
00:00:31.666 --> 00:00:33.100
I WAS LETTING YOU
DO YOUR INTRO.
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:34.466
>> WAIT, SHOULD I DO IT
ONE MORE TIME?
00:00:34.566 --> 00:00:36.433
>> NO, THAT'S PERFECT.
00:00:36.533 --> 00:00:39.299
>> AND WE ARE ACTUALLY
SITTING DOWN BECAUSE
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.433
WE'RE IN A VERY
INTERESTING SEASON OF LIFE.
00:00:41.533 --> 00:00:42.833
I DON'T LIKE THE
WORD INTERESTING.
00:00:42.933 --> 00:00:43.799
YOU HATE THAT WORD.
00:00:43.899 --> 00:00:44.166
>> YOU USE INTERESTING
FOR EVERYTHING.
00:00:44.266 --> 00:00:45.032
>> I DO.
00:00:45.132 --> 00:00:46.266
SO WHAT'S A BETTER
WAY TO SAY THIS?
00:00:46.366 --> 00:00:47.966
>> GIVE THE REAL FEELING
THAT YOU FEEL.
00:00:48.066 --> 00:00:49.432
WE'RE IN WHAT
SEASON OF LIFE?
00:00:49.532 --> 00:00:51.000
JUST THE REAL
AUTHENTIC FEELING.
00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:52.133
>> ANTICIPATION.
00:00:52.233 --> 00:00:52.966
>> OKAY.
00:00:53.066 --> 00:00:54.200
>> IS HOW I FEEL.
00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:55.166
BECAUSE WE ARE -
00:00:55.266 --> 00:00:56.199
>> THAT'S
A BETTER WORD.
00:00:56.299 --> 00:00:57.566
>> 35 WEEKS PREGNANT.
00:00:57.666 --> 00:00:59.200
>> YOU ARE. I'M JUST
ALONG FOR THE RIDE.
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:00.099
>> YEAH.
00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:01.099
IT'S TRUE.
00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:02.932
I'M REALLY FEELING IT.
00:01:03.032 --> 00:01:04.333
AND I JUST WANTED
TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE THIS
00:01:04.433 --> 00:01:07.100
CONVERSATION BECAUSE
THERE'S SO MUCH THAT GOD'S
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.866
BEEN PUTTING ON BOTH OF
OUR HEARTS AND I KIND OF
00:01:09.966 --> 00:01:11.666
WANT TO, LIKE, TAKE A
LITTLE SNAPSHOT OF THIS
00:01:11.766 --> 00:01:14.066
TIME AND SEASON WE'RE IN
BECAUSE IN JUST A FEW
00:01:14.166 --> 00:01:17.700
SHORT WEEKS, WE'RE GOING
TO BE HOLDING OUR BABY GIRL
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:19.399
IN OUR ARMS, AND
WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:01:19.499 --> 00:01:21.432
IN A VERY SPECIAL
SEASON OF LIFE.
00:01:21.532 --> 00:01:24.099
THE POSTPARTUM SEASON,
BUT, YEAH.
00:01:24.199 --> 00:01:25.966
SO I JUST WANTED
TO SIT DOWN.
00:01:26.066 --> 00:01:28.333
AND THE EASIEST PERSON FOR
ME TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS
00:01:28.433 --> 00:01:30.533
IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND
THE PERSON I TALK TO
00:01:30.633 --> 00:01:32.500
BEHIND, OFF CAMERA, IS YOU.
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:33.433
>> I KNOW, IT'S LIKE
I LIVE IN
00:01:33.533 --> 00:01:34.666
THE REBECCA WEISS PODCAST.
00:01:34.766 --> 00:01:35.633
>> YEAH.
00:01:35.733 --> 00:01:36.533
>> I'M JUST ALWAYS KIDDING.
00:01:36.633 --> 00:01:38.399
>> YOU ARE ALSO SOME
OF THE BRAINS
00:01:38.499 --> 00:01:40.699
BEHINDTHE REBECCA WEISS
PODCAST AS WELL.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.299
>> IT'S TRUE. YOU KNOW, I DON'T
KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO FEEL
00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:43.766
ANY DIFFERENT HAVING A GIRL.
00:01:43.866 --> 00:01:46.433
I KNOW I'M GOING TO FEEL
DIFFERENT, BUT I DON'T -
00:01:46.533 --> 00:01:47.400
>> I KNOW.
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:48.966
>> BUT LIKE EVEN WHEN
WE WENT FROM
00:01:49.066 --> 00:01:50.100
ZERO KIDS TO ONE KID,
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:51.132
ONE KID TO TWO KIDS,
00:01:51.232 --> 00:01:52.799
I WAS NEVER -
DURING THIS STAGE
00:01:52.899 --> 00:01:54.999
I WAS NEVER LIKE, I HAVE
ALL THESE FEELINGS,
00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:57.533
OR I CAN'T - YOU KNOW,
IT'S JUST KIND OF
00:01:57.633 --> 00:01:59.332
I DON'T REALLY FEEL,
AS THE FATHER,
00:01:59.432 --> 00:02:01.999
I DON'T REALLY FEEL MUCH
UNTIL THE BABY'S HERE.
00:02:02.099 --> 00:02:05.000
AND THEN EVEN MORE SO
AS THE BABY IS GROWING.
00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:07.366
I FEEL LIKE THOSE FIRST
FEW MONTHS SPECIFICALLY,
00:02:07.466 --> 00:02:09.766
WHEN THEY'RE JUST LITTLE,
TINY BABIES THAT SLEEP,
00:02:09.866 --> 00:02:12.633
YOU KNOW, IT REALLY LIKE
GROWS ON ME A LOT,
00:02:12.733 --> 00:02:14.666
LIKE AFTER THE BABY'S BORN.
00:02:14.766 --> 00:02:16.266
>> I ACTUALLY THINK THAT'S
A REALLY GOOD POINT.
00:02:16.366 --> 00:02:18.133
I THINK MOST FATHERS
FEEL THAT WAY.
00:02:18.233 --> 00:02:20.200
THE MOTHER HAS BEEN
BONDING WITH THE BABY.
00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:21.399
>> YEAH, YOU'VE BEEN
CARRYING THE CHILD,
00:02:21.499 --> 00:02:22.366
FEEDING THE CHILD.
00:02:22.466 --> 00:02:23.533
>> BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN
IN MY WOMB. YEAH.
00:02:23.633 --> 00:02:25.633
FEEDING THE CHILD.
I AM.
00:02:25.733 --> 00:02:27.066
AND NOW YOU'RE AT THE
STAGE WHERE WHEN YOU
00:02:27.166 --> 00:02:28.732
GO TO SLEEP OR YOU
GO TO LIE DOWN -
00:02:28.832 --> 00:02:29.666
>> OH MY GOODNESS.
00:02:29.766 --> 00:02:30.933
>> SHE STARTS INTERACTING
EVEN MORE.
00:02:31.033 --> 00:02:32.899
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE UP
WALKING AROUND, SHE, LIKE,
00:02:32.999 --> 00:02:33.833
GETS LULLED TO SLEEP.
00:02:33.933 --> 00:02:35.633
>> YEAH, SHE'S
PRETTY CHILL.
00:02:35.733 --> 00:02:39.599
SO I ALMOST WOKE HIM UP
LAST NIGHT BECAUSE,
00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:43.666
HE WAS ALREADY ASLEEP, BUT SHE
WAS MOVING SO MUCH
00:02:43.766 --> 00:02:45.866
IN MY BELLY, IT ALMOST KIND
OF FREAKED ME OUT.
00:02:45.966 --> 00:02:48.800
AND I HAD A LITTLE WHAT
THEY CALL PREDROMAL LABOR,
00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:50.666
WHICH IS YOU HAVE
LIKE, THAT KIND OF LIKE
00:02:50.766 --> 00:02:53.532
PRE-LABOR FEELING, THOSE
KIND OF BRAXTON HICKS.
00:02:53.632 --> 00:02:55.633
AND IT WAS JUST, I DON'T
KNOW, IT WAS SO WILD.
00:02:55.733 --> 00:02:58.233
AND I ALMOST LIKE, WOKE
YOU UP FOR MORAL SUPPORT
00:02:58.333 --> 00:02:59.766
BECAUSE IT WAS KIND
OF TRIPPING ME OUT.
00:02:59.866 --> 00:03:02.366
BUT I JUST ENDED UP
TAKING MY MAGNESIUM
00:03:02.466 --> 00:03:03.733
AND GOING TO SLEEP.
00:03:03.833 --> 00:03:06.366
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S LIKE IN
THESE LAST COUPLE MONTHS,
00:03:06.466 --> 00:03:08.233
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO
BOND WITH HER
00:03:08.333 --> 00:03:12.266
AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO PRAY OVER
HER, AND IT REALLY IS A
00:03:12.366 --> 00:03:15.599
SPECIAL TIME IN A MOTHER'S
LIFE WHEN THE BABY
00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:19.766
IS IN THE WOMB, BECAUSE YOU GET
A SENSE OF THAT BABY
00:03:19.866 --> 00:03:22.266
KIND OF BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE,
AND YOU GET TO CONNECT.
00:03:22.366 --> 00:03:25.299
SO I DON'T KNOW, THE
CONNECTION WITH A MOTHER
00:03:25.399 --> 00:03:27.633
AND A CHILD IS SO
BEAUTIFUL, AND MOTHERHOOD
00:03:27.733 --> 00:03:30.866
AND PREGNANCY AND BIRTH,
THEY REALLY ARE SACRED THINGS.
00:03:30.966 --> 00:03:32.099
AND, YOU KNOW -
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.532
>> AND GOD'S SPOKEN TO YOU.
00:03:33.632 --> 00:03:35.300
I MEAN, GOD'S SPOKEN TO
YOU DURING ALL OF OUR KIDS
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.766
OVER THE UNIQUE KID.
00:03:36.866 --> 00:03:40.199
AND SAME WITH ME, BUT
EVEN MORE SO WITH HER.
00:03:40.299 --> 00:03:43.466
HE SAID SOME REALLY
COOL THINGS,
00:03:43.566 --> 00:03:44.566
REMIND ME WHAT THOSE ARE.
00:03:44.666 --> 00:03:45.500
>> YEAH.
00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:46.533
SO THAT'S ACTUALLY
ONE OF THE THINGS
00:03:46.633 --> 00:03:47.666
I WANTED TO TOUCH ON.
00:03:47.766 --> 00:03:50.766
WHAT'S SO INTERESTING IS
MY MIDWIFE THAT I'M USING
00:03:50.866 --> 00:03:51.999
THIS TIME AROUND,
00:03:52.099 --> 00:03:54.399
SHE HAS SIX KIDS, AND ONE
OF THE THINGS SHE TALKED ABOUT
00:03:54.499 --> 00:03:55.932
IS HOW GOD KIND OF
DOES SOMETHING
00:03:56.032 --> 00:03:57.499
THROUGH EACH KID.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.099
AND IT'S, I THINK
THAT'S SO TRUE.
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.432
I THINK GOD DOES -
00:04:00.532 --> 00:04:01.266
>> I AGREE.
00:04:01.366 --> 00:04:02.266
>> DOES A WORK.
00:04:02.366 --> 00:04:03.233
I THINK HE'S DONE A
WORK IN BOTH OF US.
00:04:03.333 --> 00:04:05.600
>> WE'VE SEEN IN OUR OWN
LIFE THAT PLAY OUT
00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:07.132
LIKE WITH ASHER.
00:04:07.232 --> 00:04:09.200
WE HAD DIFFERENT BREAKTHROUGHS,
DIFFERENT HEALINGS,
00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:11.066
DIFFERENT LIKE
TRANSFORMATIVE SEASONS.
00:04:11.166 --> 00:04:13.366
THEN WITH BOAZ, THE SAME
THING, DIFFERENT DEPTH
00:04:13.466 --> 00:04:15.799
OF DIFFERENT HEALINGS, YOU
KNOW, GROWTH AND CHANGE.
00:04:15.899 --> 00:04:17.200
SO THAT'S ALSO EXCITING.
00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:18.166
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
00:04:18.266 --> 00:04:20.399
IT'S EXCITING TO SEE WHAT
THIS BABY GIRL
00:04:20.499 --> 00:04:21.532
IS GOING TO BRING.
00:04:21.632 --> 00:04:23.332
I ALMOST SAID HER NAME,
BUT I'M NOT ALLOWED TO.
00:04:23.432 --> 00:04:26.433
>> I KNOW. NONE OF THESE
PEOPLE KNOW THE NAME.
00:04:26.533 --> 00:04:27.999
>> YEAH. IT'S HARD FOR
ME TO NOT SAY THE NAME.
00:04:28.099 --> 00:04:29.000
>> I KNOW.
00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:30.166
>> I'VE BEEN CALLING
HER THAT FOR A LONG,
00:04:30.266 --> 00:04:32.733
ALMOST SINCE WE FOUND
OUT WE WERE PREGNANT.
00:04:32.833 --> 00:04:34.166
>> I KNOW, BUT YOU REALLY,
00:04:34.266 --> 00:04:35.733
I MEAN, BOTH OF US
HAVE REALLY,
00:04:35.833 --> 00:04:37.999
I FINALLY THINK I'VE
SETTLED INTO THE NAME.
00:04:38.099 --> 00:04:39.733
LIKE, FOR A LONG
TIME, I WAS GOING BACK -
00:04:39.833 --> 00:04:41.166
>> I'VE BEEN SETTLED
SINCE I HEARD IT.
00:04:41.266 --> 00:04:42.033
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ME AND YOU.
00:04:42.133 --> 00:04:43.366
>> THAT'S YOUR
PERSONALITY, THOUGH.
00:04:43.466 --> 00:04:45.966
YOU ARE LIKE MR.
SETTLED, LIKE YOU -
00:04:46.066 --> 00:04:49.266
THAT'S WHY, ONCE AGAIN,
WE'RE DIFFERENT.
00:04:49.366 --> 00:04:50.832
AND THE DIFFERENCES WE
BRING BRING BALANCE
00:04:50.932 --> 00:04:55.066
TO OUR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE
WE ARE ONE IN CHRIST.
00:04:55.166 --> 00:04:57.933
AND SO I LIKE TO THINK AND
GO OVER AND MULL OVER,
00:04:58.033 --> 00:05:00.232
AND YOU ARE JUST LIKE, ALL
RIGHT, THIS IS WHAT IT IS.
00:05:00.332 --> 00:05:01.900
AND YOU'RE STEADY.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.099
AND I LIKE THAT ABOUT YOU.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.699
BUT, NO, I'VE BEEN BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THE NAME
00:05:05.799 --> 00:05:07.666
OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN, THINKING,
00:05:07.766 --> 00:05:08.700
IS THERE A BETTER OPTION?
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.666
IS THERE, YOU KNOW,
TRYING TO WEIGH.
00:05:10.766 --> 00:05:13.633
AND THIS NAME HAS PRETTY
MUCH - THIS HAS BEEN IT.
00:05:13.733 --> 00:05:14.732
>> YOU STILL WON'T SAY IT.
00:05:14.832 --> 00:05:16.499
I WILL NOT SAY IT.
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:05:16.599 --> 00:05:17.766
>> YOU STILL WON'T ADMIT
THAT THIS IS IT.
00:05:17.866 --> 00:05:19.300
YOU'RE LIKE, IT'S
PRETTY MUCH IT.
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:20.566
>> NO, IT'S IT.
00:05:20.666 --> 00:05:22.166
I'M LIKE 95% THERE.
00:05:22.266 --> 00:05:23.366
>> YOU LEAVE IT OPEN-ENDED.
00:05:23.466 --> 00:05:25.433
>> LET HER COME OUT
AND LET ME LOOK AT HER.
00:05:25.533 --> 00:05:27.466
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY
IS WHEN BOAZ CAME OUT,
00:05:27.566 --> 00:05:28.933
LIKE THE MOMENT BOAZ
WAS IN MY ARMS,
00:05:29.033 --> 00:05:30.732
I WAS LIKE, BOAZ, LIKE,
00:05:30.832 --> 00:05:32.966
BECAUSE I HAVE HIS - THE
BIRTH FOOTAGE OF HIM.
00:05:33.066 --> 00:05:34.133
SO I WONDER IF I'M GOING
TO - I'M PROBABLY GOING
00:05:34.233 --> 00:05:35.066
TO DO THAT WITH HER.
00:05:35.166 --> 00:05:36.033
THE MOMENT SHE COMES OUT,
00:05:36.133 --> 00:05:37.299
I'M GOING TO SAY HER NAME.
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.633
I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE A QUESTION
00:05:39.733 --> 00:05:41.133
BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE, THEY DON'T
REALLY NAME THEIR BABIES
00:05:41.233 --> 00:05:43.733
UNTIL THE BABY COMES OUT.
00:05:43.833 --> 00:05:46.666
BUT BACK TO WHAT
YOU WERE SAYING,
00:05:46.766 --> 00:05:47.866
BECAUSE I KIND OF
GOT OFF TRACK,
00:05:47.966 --> 00:05:50.800
YOU WERE SAYING THAT
WITH EACH KID,
00:05:50.900 --> 00:05:52.399
THERE'S BEEN KIND OF
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
00:05:52.499 --> 00:05:55.166
>> AND YOU WERE SAYING THAT
00:05:55.266 --> 00:05:57.433
GOD SPOKE SOME UNIQUE THINGS
ABOUT HER TO YOU,
00:05:57.533 --> 00:05:59.166
AND I WANTED TO
HEAR WHAT THOSE WERE.
00:05:59.266 --> 00:06:01.633
>> SO WHAT'S BEEN
REALLY INTERESTING,
00:06:01.733 --> 00:06:05.433
TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
EVERY KID HAS BEEN -
00:06:05.533 --> 00:06:08.666
GOD'S DONE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT IN ME.
00:06:08.766 --> 00:06:12.166
AND WITH BOAZ, I KNEW I WANTED
TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY
00:06:12.266 --> 00:06:13.499
THAN I DID WITH ASHER.
00:06:13.599 --> 00:06:15.532
WITH YOUR FIRST KID, YOU
DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
00:06:15.632 --> 00:06:17.232
AND YOU HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE.
00:06:17.332 --> 00:06:19.766
WITH MY SECOND, I KNEW WHAT I
WANTED TO DO DIFFERENTLY,
00:06:19.866 --> 00:06:22.033
BUT WHEN I WAS
PREGNANT WITH BOAZ,
00:06:22.133 --> 00:06:24.033
YOU KNOW, DAD HAD PASSED
00:06:24.133 --> 00:06:26.266
AND THAT WAS A REALLY
DIFFICULT SEASON OF LIFE.
00:06:26.366 --> 00:06:28.966
AND SO WHEN HE CAME
INTO THE WORLD,
00:06:29.066 --> 00:06:31.199
IT WAS VERY MUCH
A HEALING TIME
00:06:31.299 --> 00:06:34.066
AND A TIME TO BE STILL.
00:06:34.166 --> 00:06:39.166
BUT WITH BOAZ, I REALLY
LEANED INTO MY OWN STRENGTH.
00:06:39.266 --> 00:06:41.133
I DID NOT LEAN
INTO GOD AS MUCH AS
00:06:41.233 --> 00:06:42.500
A SOURCE OF STRENGTH.
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.333
AND WHEN WE FOUND OUT THAT
WE WERE PREGNANT
00:06:44.433 --> 00:06:45.832
WITH OUR THIRD,
00:06:45.932 --> 00:06:50.532
I REMEMBER LISTENING TO
A BIBLE TEACHING
00:06:50.632 --> 00:06:52.233
ON THE
WAY INTO WORK.
00:06:52.333 --> 00:06:54.766
AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT
HOW IN CORINTHIANS,
00:06:54.866 --> 00:06:58.566
THAT PASSAGE WHERE PAUL SAYS
THAT GOD SPOKE TO HIM
00:06:58.666 --> 00:07:01.999
AND SAYS, MY STRENGTH IS MADE
PERFECT IN YOUR WEAKNESS.
00:07:02.099 --> 00:07:04.366
MY GRACE IS MADE PERFECT
IN YOUR WEAKNESS.
00:07:04.466 --> 00:07:06.866
FOR WHEN YOU ARE
WEAK, I AM STRONG.
00:07:06.966 --> 00:07:09.633
AND GOD SPOKE TO ME,
AND HE SAYS, I GOT YOU.
00:07:09.733 --> 00:07:11.800
AND WHEN I REALLY FEEL
LIKE WITH THIS THIRD CHILD
00:07:11.900 --> 00:07:14.733
IS THE SHIFT HAS GONE FROM
ME RELYING ON MYSELF
00:07:14.833 --> 00:07:17.300
AND OTHER PEOPLE AS MY
SOURCE OF STRENGTH,
00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:20.099
AND THE THIRD IS ABOUT HOW
HE IS MY SOURCE.
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.899
AND SO I'M PROBABLY THE MOST
AT PEACE I'VE EVER BEEN,
00:07:22.999 --> 00:07:24.233
WHICH IS KIND OF WILD
BECAUSE WE HAVE
00:07:24.333 --> 00:07:26.332
THE MOST ON OUR PLATE
IN OUR LIVES.
00:07:26.432 --> 00:07:30.000
BUT I'M AT THE MOST AT
PEACE I'VE EVER BEEN.
00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:32.199
>> AND IF YOU GO BACK
AND LOOK AT WHEN -
00:07:32.299 --> 00:07:34.933
BEFORE WE HAD KIDS AND WHEN YOU
HAD THE FIRST ONE COMING,
00:07:35.033 --> 00:07:36.366
AND YOU'RE LIKE,
WOW, THAT WAS SO EASY,
00:07:36.466 --> 00:07:37.999
AND HOW OVERWHELMING IT FELT.
00:07:38.099 --> 00:07:40.632
NOW WE HAVE TWO KIDS
AND A THIRD ONE COMING,
00:07:40.732 --> 00:07:42.866
AND THE MOST RESPONSIBILITIES
WE'VE EVER HAD.
00:07:42.966 --> 00:07:44.799
BUT YET THERE'S A DEEP
PEACE FOR BOTH OF US.
00:07:44.899 --> 00:07:45.700
>> RIGHT.
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:46.800
THERE'S A PEACE.
00:07:46.900 --> 00:07:47.766
AND I FEEL LIKE OUR
FAMILY'S IN THE BEST PLACE
00:07:47.866 --> 00:07:48.900
IT'S EVER BEEN IN.
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.299
AND IT'S ONLY BY
THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:52.800
AND SO I'VE
HAD THIS PEACE.
00:07:52.900 --> 00:07:55.732
AND SO EVEN I FEEL LIKE
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO REALLY
00:07:55.832 --> 00:07:57.866
GO INTO MY QUIET TIMES AND
JUST HEAR FROM THE LORD
00:07:57.966 --> 00:07:59.666
AND RECEIVE.
00:07:59.766 --> 00:08:01.700
WITH THIS THIRD ONE,
I KNOW THAT
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.099
I'VE JUST FELT THIS
CONNECTION WITH HER,
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:04.033
AND I KNOW THAT SHE'S SPECIAL.
00:08:04.133 --> 00:08:06.166
I KNOW THAT SHE'S CALLED.
00:08:06.266 --> 00:08:07.699
AND I KNOW THAT IT'S
MY JOB AS HER MOTHER
00:08:07.799 --> 00:08:08.999
TO STEWARD THAT CALL.
00:08:09.099 --> 00:08:12.233
BUT REALLY, GOD HAS REALLY
TAUGHT ME ABOUT GRACE
00:08:12.333 --> 00:08:15.133
IN THIS SEASON, AND GOD HAS
REALLY SHOWN ME
00:08:15.233 --> 00:08:16.933
AS GOD AS THE FATHER.
00:08:17.033 --> 00:08:19.466
AND WHAT'S REALLY
INTERESTING IS WE -
00:08:19.566 --> 00:08:22.700
I INTERVIEWED LEIF
ON THIS PODCAST,
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.666
WHICH EVENTUALLY THAT
EPISODE WILL DROP,
00:08:25.766 --> 00:08:28.699
BUT LEIF TALKED ALL
ABOUT GOD THE FATHER.
00:08:28.799 --> 00:08:30.232
AND AFTER
I INTERVIEWED HIM,
00:08:30.332 --> 00:08:32.732
I WAS LIKE, I WANT THAT
REVELATION MORE.
00:08:32.832 --> 00:08:34.366
AND I STARTED
READING HIS BOOK.
00:08:34.466 --> 00:08:35.899
AND AS I'VE BEEN READING
HIS BOOK AND LISTENING
00:08:35.999 --> 00:08:37.266
TO HIS TEACHINGS,
00:08:37.366 --> 00:08:38.499
I'VE BEEN
GETTING THIS DOWNLOAD
00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:40.566
OF GOD AS THE FATHER.
00:08:40.666 --> 00:08:42.899
AND AS I'VE GOTTEN THIS
DOWNLOAD OF GOD AS THE FATHER,
00:08:42.999 --> 00:08:44.799
IT'S REALLY
SHIFTED MY FAITH.
00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:46.333
IT'S REALLY SHIFTED
MY PERSPECTIVE,
00:08:46.433 --> 00:08:47.633
AND IT'S GIVEN ME A PEACE
00:08:47.733 --> 00:08:49.100
LIKE I'VE HAD -
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.300
A PEACE THAT
I'VE NEVER HAD BEFORE.
00:08:51.400 --> 00:08:53.499
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND - IT'S
LIKE WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND
00:08:53.599 --> 00:08:56.532
GOD IS YOUR FATHER, YOU
CAN HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE
00:08:56.632 --> 00:08:58.199
THAT HE'LL TAKE
CARE OF YOU.
00:08:58.299 --> 00:08:59.900
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST
LIKE THIS GOD
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.900
THAT'S FAR AWAY.
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.633
IT'S GOD AS A FATHER
WHO LOVES YOU
00:09:03.733 --> 00:09:04.832
AND YOU'RE HIS CHILD.
00:09:04.932 --> 00:09:07.166
AND SO WHEN YOUR HEART CAN
REALLY BEGIN TO BELIEVE
00:09:07.266 --> 00:09:08.533
AND RECEIVE THE
FATHER'S LOVE,
00:09:08.633 --> 00:09:11.199
IT SHIFTS EVEN YOUR
PERSPECTIVE OF FAITH.
00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:13.666
AND SO, AS I'VE LEANED
INTO THE FATHER'S LOVE
00:09:13.766 --> 00:09:15.366
AND THAT IDENTITY
AS A CHILD OF GOD,
00:09:15.466 --> 00:09:17.999
IT'S HELPED ME WITH EVEN
PREPARATION WITH BIRTH,
00:09:18.099 --> 00:09:19.666
WITH THIS THIRD BABY COMING,
00:09:19.766 --> 00:09:21.133
WITH EVERYTHING
THAT'S IN FRONT OF
00:09:21.233 --> 00:09:22.532
OUR VIEW SCREEN.
00:09:22.632 --> 00:09:23.766
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WAS REALLY INTERESTING,
00:09:23.866 --> 00:09:26.333
AND THIS HIT ME
LAST NIGHT WITH THE -
00:09:26.433 --> 00:09:28.466
WITH THE BOYS
AND THIS BABY,
00:09:28.566 --> 00:09:31.933
IS THAT WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND
00:09:32.033 --> 00:09:33.633
THE LOVE OF THE FATHER,
00:09:33.733 --> 00:09:35.066
YOU'RE ABLE TO TAKE
WHATEVER BURDENS
00:09:35.166 --> 00:09:36.366
YOU HAVE ON YOURSELF
00:09:36.466 --> 00:09:37.932
AND PUT THEM IN HIS HANDS,
00:09:38.032 --> 00:09:39.166
BECAUSE YOU CAN REALLY
TRUST AND BELIEVE
00:09:39.266 --> 00:09:41.333
THAT HE'S GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:09:41.433 --> 00:09:44.066
AND THAT BRINGS LIKE
THIS OVERWHELMING PEACE.
00:09:44.166 --> 00:09:46.599
AND WHEN I'M IN
A PLACE OF PEACE,
00:09:46.699 --> 00:09:49.766
THAT IS THE BEST THING
FOR OUR MARRIAGE
00:09:49.866 --> 00:09:50.999
AND FOR OUR CHILDREN.
00:09:51.099 --> 00:09:51.832
AND WHAT'S SO WILD IS
00:09:51.932 --> 00:09:53.400
I EVEN FELT THAT
PEACE LAST NIGHT.
00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:55.733
I JUST KIND OF FOUND MYSELF
RELEASING THINGS TO HIM.
00:09:55.833 --> 00:09:58.799
AND AS I SHIFTED INTO A
PLACE OF PEACE,
00:09:58.899 --> 00:10:00.666
I FELT LIKE A SHIFT
EVEN IN OUR KIDS.
00:10:00.766 --> 00:10:02.466
AND I EVEN FELT
A SHIFT IN HER.
00:10:02.566 --> 00:10:04.300
AND I WAS LIKE,
WOW, LIKE THE MOST -
00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:06.999
IT'S LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE
ARE RUNNING THEMSELVES RAGGED,
00:10:07.099 --> 00:10:09.333
LOOKING - LIKE TRYING TO
FIX THEIR PROBLEMS,
00:10:09.433 --> 00:10:11.366
OR, YOU KNOW, LETTING
STRESSES GET TO THEM
00:10:11.466 --> 00:10:13.266
BECAUSE THIS LIFE
IS SO STRESSFUL
00:10:13.366 --> 00:10:15.333
AND THERE ARE
THINGS THAT TRY US.
00:10:15.433 --> 00:10:17.300
THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO DRAIN US,
00:10:17.400 --> 00:10:18.666
SITUATIONS THAT DRAIN US,
00:10:18.766 --> 00:10:20.500
AND YET WE NEED TO
LIVE OUR LIFE
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.032
FROM THAT PLACE OF RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE FATHER,
00:10:23.132 --> 00:10:24.833
THAT HE CAN CLEANSE OUR SOULS,
00:10:24.933 --> 00:10:26.999
THAT HE CAN FILL US
WITH HIS LOVE,
00:10:27.099 --> 00:10:28.766
AND THAT HE CAN TAKE
OUR BURDENS
00:10:28.866 --> 00:10:30.933
SO THAT WE CAN LIVE IN
A PLACE OF PEACE.
00:10:31.033 --> 00:10:33.032
AND WHEN WE ARE
PEOPLE OF PEACE,
00:10:33.132 --> 00:10:35.132
NOT ONLY DOES THAT
MINISTER TO OUR HOME LIFE
00:10:35.232 --> 00:10:36.633
AND OUR FAMILIES
AND OUR MARRIAGES,
00:10:36.733 --> 00:10:38.766
BUT IT WILL MINISTER TO THE
PEOPLE AROUND US.
00:10:38.866 --> 00:10:41.266
>> I CAN ALWAYS TELL
WHEN YOU NEED TO
00:10:41.366 --> 00:10:42.899
TAKE SOME TIME AND
TO, LIKE, YOU KNOW,
00:10:42.999 --> 00:10:44.199
GO INTO THAT PLACE OF PEACE
00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:46.699
AND FIND THAT
RENEWED STRENGTH IN HIM.
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.100
BUT WHAT ABOUT
SOMEBODY WATCHING?
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.733
HOW DO YOU ENCOURAGE
THEM TO, LIKE,
00:10:50.833 --> 00:10:51.766
BE TAPPED INTO THAT?
00:10:51.866 --> 00:10:53.666
BECAUSE YOU'RE
SOMEONE WHO HAS REALLY BUILT
00:10:53.766 --> 00:10:55.833
A MUSCLE AROUND,
00:10:55.933 --> 00:10:57.933
ONE ON ONE WITH THE LORD.
00:10:58.033 --> 00:11:00.232
YOU CALL IT YOUR QUIET
TIME WITH THE LORD.
00:11:00.332 --> 00:11:03.300
AND SO IT'S LIKE, YOU
KNOW WHEN YOUR BATTERY
00:11:03.400 --> 00:11:06.266
IS REACHING LIKE
MEDIUM OR LOW,
00:11:06.366 --> 00:11:07.800
IT NEEDS TO BE REFILLED.
00:11:07.900 --> 00:11:09.799
WHAT ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO'S
JUST GETTING STARTED
00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:11.666
AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD,
00:11:11.766 --> 00:11:12.799
HOW WOULD
YOU ENCOURAGE THEM
00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:13.999
TO TAP INTO THAT?
00:11:14.099 --> 00:11:18.466
>> OKAY, THE VERSE THAT
COMES TO MY MIND IS,
00:11:18.566 --> 00:11:22.600
THAT GOD IS A REWARDER OF THOSE
WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.
00:11:22.700 --> 00:11:25.199
AND THE BIBLE, ONE OF YOUR
FAVORITE VERSES,
00:11:25.299 --> 00:11:30.566
JEREMIAH 33:3, IS ONE OF THE
VERSES YOU TAUGHT ME ABOUT
00:11:30.666 --> 00:11:31.933
AND IS LIKE A LIFE
VERSE FOR YOU.
00:11:32.033 --> 00:11:33.500
IT SAYS, ASK ME AND I
WILL TELL YOU
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.699
REMARKABLE SECRETS
YOU DO NOT KNOW
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.000
ABOUT
THINGS TO COME.
00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:39.532
AND SO IN THE BIBLE
THERE'S THESE VERSES WHERE
00:11:39.632 --> 00:11:42.666
BASICALLY IT'S UNDERSTOOD
THAT GOD IS BECKONING US
00:11:42.766 --> 00:11:44.566
AND HE WANTS TO SHARE
HIS HEART WITH US.
00:11:44.666 --> 00:11:47.099
AND IF YOU CAN BELIEVE
THAT, AND UNDERSTAND THAT,
00:11:47.199 --> 00:11:49.466
AND IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS,
00:11:49.566 --> 00:11:51.966
WHEN YOU RECEIVE SALVATION,
HOW IT CLEANSES YOU,
00:11:52.066 --> 00:11:53.266
AND HOW YOU CAN
COME BOLDLY
00:11:53.366 --> 00:11:54.633
BEFORE THE THRONE OF GRACE,
00:11:54.733 --> 00:11:57.099
YOU CAN COME TO
GOD IN HUMILITY
00:11:57.199 --> 00:11:59.766
AND DRAW NEAR TO HIM, AND HE
WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU.
00:11:59.866 --> 00:12:01.666
AND SO THAT'S MY
ENCOURAGEMENT IS -
00:12:01.766 --> 00:12:02.899
>> THAT'S GOOD.
00:12:02.999 --> 00:12:04.200
>> GOD WANTS TO BE WITH YOU.
00:12:04.300 --> 00:12:06.266
GOD WANTS TO BE
WITH YOU MORE THAN
00:12:06.366 --> 00:12:08.266
YOU WANT TO BE WITH HIM.
HONESTLY.
00:12:08.366 --> 00:12:09.499
>> ISN'T THAT
AMAZING TO THINK ABOUT,
00:12:09.599 --> 00:12:11.366
THAT THE CREATOR OF
HEAVEN AND EARTH,
00:12:11.466 --> 00:12:14.699
THE ONE THAT WAS BEFORE TIME,
THE ONE THAT IS ETERNITY,
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.933
WANTS TO HAVE A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
00:12:17.033 --> 00:12:18.399
>> I STILL FEEL THAT WAY,
00:12:18.499 --> 00:12:21.032
LIKE I WAS SPENDING TIME WITH
HIM TWO DAYS AGO,
00:12:21.132 --> 00:12:22.833
OR YESTERDAY,
I CAN'T REMEMBER,
00:12:22.933 --> 00:12:24.599
AND I ACTUALLY
HAD THAT FEELING
00:12:24.699 --> 00:12:27.299
BECAUSE I JUST FELT THE LOVE
WHEN YOU FEEL HIS PRESENCE
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.432
COME IN AND YOU GET A REALITY
OF HEAVEN, AND WHO HE IS,
00:12:31.532 --> 00:12:33.766
I HAD THAT FEELING
OF I CANNOT -
00:12:33.866 --> 00:12:35.799
I AM JUST A MERE HUMAN,
00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:38.766
AND YET YOU LOVE ME AND
WANT RELATIONSHIP WITH ME
00:12:38.866 --> 00:12:40.266
AND WILL TAKE CARE OF ME.
00:12:40.366 --> 00:12:43.566
IT'S SUCH A OVERWHELMING
FEELING OF LOVE
00:12:43.666 --> 00:12:47.300
AND ALSO, HUMILITY.
00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:49.333
AND THAT'S MY OTHER
ENCOURAGING WORD IS
00:12:49.433 --> 00:12:51.066
WHAT I'VE LEARNED
THROUGH THE YEARS IS
00:12:51.166 --> 00:12:54.200
IF YOU ARE WANTING TO PURSUE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,
00:12:54.300 --> 00:12:57.500
TWO OF THE BEST ATTITUDES AND
POSTURES OF YOUR HEART,
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.966
LIKE REALLY FOCUS ON YOUR
HEART AND JUST BE HUMBLE.
00:13:01.066 --> 00:13:02.333
HUMBLE YOURSELF.
00:13:02.433 --> 00:13:03.899
WELL, IT'S A SPIRITUAL
PRINCIPLE THAT
00:13:03.999 --> 00:13:05.466
GOD ACTUALLY
EXALTS THE HUMBLE
00:13:05.566 --> 00:13:07.266
AND HE DEBASES THE PROUD.
00:13:07.366 --> 00:13:08.566
THAT'S A WHOLE
NOTHER TOPIC.
00:13:08.666 --> 00:13:10.399
BUT WHEN YOU ARE HUMBLE
BEFORE GOD,
00:13:10.499 --> 00:13:12.066
HE DRAWS CLOSE TO US.
00:13:12.166 --> 00:13:13.500
AND WHEN YOU'RE GRATEFUL.
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:14.899
WHEN YOU SAY,
GOD, THANK YOU
00:13:14.999 --> 00:13:16.599
FOR WHAT YOUR SON
DID FOR ME ON THE CROSS.
00:13:16.699 --> 00:13:17.699
THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME.
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:19.266
THANK YOU FOR
TAKING CARE OF ME.
00:13:19.366 --> 00:13:20.799
AND SO THOSE ARE
TWO BIG THINGS.
00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:22.366
IF YOU GO IN UNDERSTANDING
THAT GOD LOVES YOU
00:13:22.466 --> 00:13:23.432
AND HE WANTS TO BE WITH YOU
00:13:23.532 --> 00:13:25.233
MORE THAN YOU EVEN
WANT TO BE WITH HIM,
00:13:25.333 --> 00:13:26.066
THAT HE'S FORGIVEN YOU
00:13:26.166 --> 00:13:27.633
AND HE'S MADE
A WAY THROUGH -
00:13:27.733 --> 00:13:30.832
HE'S MADE A WAY THROUGH
THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS
00:13:30.932 --> 00:13:32.532
AND THROUGH THE BLOOD OF
JESUS THAT CLEANSES YOU.
00:13:32.632 --> 00:13:33.800
SO YOU HAVE NO
GUILT AND SHAME
00:13:33.900 --> 00:13:35.266
WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE HIM.
00:13:35.366 --> 00:13:37.700
YOU'RE CONSIDERED CLEAN
AND HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS
00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:39.033
BECAUSE OF WHAT HE
DID ON THE CROSS,
00:13:39.133 --> 00:13:40.766
NOT BECAUSE OF
YOUR ACTIONS.
00:13:40.866 --> 00:13:42.833
AND YOU COME IN AS A
HUMBLE CHILD,
00:13:42.933 --> 00:13:44.632
GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FATHER,
00:13:44.732 --> 00:13:46.833
HE IS GOING TO REVEAL
HIMSELF TO YOU IN WAYS
00:13:46.933 --> 00:13:48.866
THAT YOU'VE NEVER
EXPERIENCED BEFORE,
00:13:48.966 --> 00:13:51.333
AND IT'S GOING TO
TRANSFORM YOU.
00:13:51.433 --> 00:13:52.399
THAT'S THE OTHER THING.
00:13:52.499 --> 00:13:54.199
AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
THIS AS WE GO THROUGH
00:13:54.299 --> 00:13:55.266
DIFFERENT SEASONS
OF LIFE,
00:13:55.366 --> 00:13:56.466
AS WE'VE HAD MORE CHILDREN,
00:13:56.566 --> 00:13:58.199
GOD HAS DONE
DIFFERENT THINGS.
00:13:58.299 --> 00:14:00.233
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT HE TAKES US
00:14:00.333 --> 00:14:01.933
FROM GLORY TO GLORY.
00:14:02.033 --> 00:14:04.299
IT TALKS ABOUT THAT IN
CORINTHIANS, I BELIEVE.
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.966
AND SO GOD IS GOING TO
TRANSFORM YOU.
00:14:07.066 --> 00:14:09.332
AND JUST ALLOW HIM TO DO THE
PROCESS AND ALLOW IT,
00:14:09.432 --> 00:14:11.133
KNOWING THAT
IT TAKES TIME.
00:14:11.233 --> 00:14:13.966
DON'T GET FRUSTRATED, BUT
KNOW THAT YOU CAN TRUST HIM
00:14:14.066 --> 00:14:16.799
AND HE IS FAITHFUL TO
COMPLETE THE GOOD WORK
00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:18.233
THAT HE STARTED IN YOU,
00:14:18.333 --> 00:14:19.866
WHICH THAT'S A VERSE
IN PHILIPPIANS.
00:14:19.966 --> 00:14:21.266
>> YEAH, I WOULD SAY DON'T
BE DISCOURAGED
00:14:21.366 --> 00:14:23.699
IF IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE
GLORY TO GLORY.
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:24.966
BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAY
GLORY TO GLORY,
00:14:25.066 --> 00:14:28.133
I JUST IMAGINE LIKE IT'S A
MAJESTIC, BEAUTIFUL THING
00:14:28.233 --> 00:14:30.033
ONTO ANOTHER MAJESTIC AND
BEAUTIFUL THING.
00:14:30.133 --> 00:14:32.766
BUT, REALLY, SOMETIMES IT
FEELS LIKE HARDSHIP
00:14:32.866 --> 00:14:36.266
OR TROUBLE OR DISCOMFORT OR
PAIN OR WHATEVER IT IS.
00:14:36.366 --> 00:14:38.933
BUT IF YOU CONTINUE TO
LEAN INTO HIM AS YOUR SOURCE,
00:14:39.033 --> 00:14:41.632
PLUG INTO HIM
AS YOUR SOURCE,
00:14:41.732 --> 00:14:44.566
IT IS TRANSFORMED
AND IT IS GLORY TO GLORY.
00:14:44.666 --> 00:14:45.699
JUST IN THE NATURAL
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.899
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FEEL
THAT WAY OR LOOK THAT WAY.
00:14:46.999 --> 00:14:48.466
>> AND THAT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
00:14:48.566 --> 00:14:49.800
THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE.
00:14:49.900 --> 00:14:51.500
AND ONE OF THE
THINGS I REALIZE NOW.
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.033
SO I WAS LISTENING -
00:14:53.133 --> 00:14:54.999
THE BOOK THAT I'VE BEEN
LISTENING TO
00:14:55.099 --> 00:14:56.033
IS THE
BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:14:56.133 --> 00:14:57.299
I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO ONE -
00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.799
CHAPTERS ONE, TWO, THREE AND
FOUR, WHICH IS -
00:14:59.899 --> 00:15:01.699
>> NOT THE WHOLE BOOK, YOU JUST
SOLEY FOCUS ON THOSE FOUR?
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:02.999
>> WELL, I'VE BEEN - I'VE
BEEN FOCUSING ON
00:15:03.066 --> 00:15:04.166
THE LETTERS TO THE CHURCHES.
00:15:04.266 --> 00:15:04.966
>> YEAH.
00:15:05.066 --> 00:15:06.066
>> IT'S JUST BEEN REALLY -
00:15:06.166 --> 00:15:07.399
I'VE NEVER LISTENED TO THAT
REALLY IN MY LIFE.
00:15:07.499 --> 00:15:09.399
IT'S REALLY BEEN
MINISTERING TO ME.
00:15:09.499 --> 00:15:13.300
BUT IN THE FIRST CHAPTER,
IT'S SO POWERFUL.
00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:16.532
IT'S THIS REVELATION
OF WHO JESUS IS.
00:15:16.632 --> 00:15:20.333
AND I CAN'T EVEN - WHEN I
HEARD IT, JUST RECENTLY,
00:15:20.433 --> 00:15:22.099
YOU KNOW, WITH FRESH EARS,
00:15:22.199 --> 00:15:23.733
IT JUST OVERWHELMED ME
00:15:23.833 --> 00:15:26.966
HOW INCREDIBLE JESUS IS.
00:15:27.066 --> 00:15:28.632
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS IT
SAYS IN THE BEGINNING
00:15:28.732 --> 00:15:30.566
THAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY
INTERESTING IS
00:15:30.666 --> 00:15:33.633
IT'S THAT - IN VERSE 9, THIS IS
REVELATION 1, VERSE 9.
00:15:33.733 --> 00:15:35.933
I, JOHN, AM YOUR
BROTHER AND YOUR PARTNER
00:15:36.033 --> 00:15:38.533
IN SUFFERING AND IN
GOD'S KINGDOM,
00:15:38.633 --> 00:15:42.633
AND IN THE PATIENT ENDURANCE TO
WHICH JESUS CALLS US.
00:15:42.733 --> 00:15:44.700
AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS
SO POWERFUL
00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:47.333
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT
WE'RE CALLED TO IS,
00:15:47.433 --> 00:15:50.232
WE'RE CALLED TO BE
PATIENT AND ENDURE
00:15:50.332 --> 00:15:51.799
THROUGH SUFFERING.
00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:53.333
AND HE'S SAYING, I'M YOUR
BROTHER IN SUFFERING.
00:15:53.433 --> 00:15:55.532
AND I MEAN, THEY REALLY
SUFFERED LIKE -
00:15:55.632 --> 00:15:57.199
>> WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT SUFFERING IS.
00:15:57.299 --> 00:15:59.300
>> I TELL MYSELF, WHEN I GET
OVERWHELMED MYSELF,
00:15:59.400 --> 00:16:01.433
I AM LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS
00:16:01.533 --> 00:16:02.766
IN THE BODY OF CHRIST
00:16:02.866 --> 00:16:04.466
EVEN TODAY, THE ONES WHO
ARE BEING PERSECUTED.
00:16:04.566 --> 00:16:06.033
>> WE SHOULD, LIKE, WRITE SOME
OF THEIR STORIES DOWN.
00:16:06.133 --> 00:16:07.366
>> WE SHOULD.
00:16:07.466 --> 00:16:10.566
>> AND LIKE HAVE THEM IN OUR,
LIKE, HOUSE, TO SHOW OUR KIDS.
00:16:10.666 --> 00:16:12.100
>> MY MOM DID THAT FOR ME.
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:13.199
>> THAT'S GOOD.
00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:14.932
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CLEAR
YOUR DISHES
00:16:15.032 --> 00:16:16.066
TO THE TRASH CAN.
00:16:16.166 --> 00:16:16.733
>> YEAH.
00:16:16.833 --> 00:16:17.666
>> YOU'RE NOT SUFFERING.
00:16:17.766 --> 00:16:19.766
>> BUT TO GIVE
SOME PERSPECTIVE.
00:16:19.866 --> 00:16:21.199
BUT IT REMINDED ME
WHEN I HEARD THAT,
00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:22.366
LIKE, WOW.
00:16:22.466 --> 00:16:24.199
LIKE, WE ARE NOT CALLED
TO LIVE THIS
00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:25.866
COMFORTABLE, CUSHY LIFE.
00:16:25.966 --> 00:16:30.066
WE ARE CALLED TO SUFFER
FOR THE KINGDOM FOR HIS SAKE.
00:16:30.166 --> 00:16:32.300
AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
PATIENTLY ENDURING
00:16:32.400 --> 00:16:33.933
THROUGH ALL THINGS.
00:16:34.033 --> 00:16:35.699
AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER
ENCOURAGING WORD,
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.500
IS KEEP GOING, BECAUSE GOD HAS
CALLED US TO DO IT
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.133
AND HE WILL BRING YOU
THROUGH IT.
00:16:39.233 --> 00:16:41.466
AND THE REASON - WHAT I WAS
WANTING TO SAY
00:16:41.566 --> 00:16:43.133
TO YOUR POINT IS THIS:
00:16:43.233 --> 00:16:44.833
IS THAT IT'S NOT
ALWAYS GOING TO BE GLORY.
00:16:44.933 --> 00:16:46.099
YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO
BE ON THE MOUNTAINTOPS
00:16:46.199 --> 00:16:48.400
OR IT'S LIKE THIS INCREDIBLE
SPIRITUAL HIGH.
00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:50.366
YOU'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH
TRIALS AND SUFFERING
00:16:50.466 --> 00:16:52.466
AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO A
GOOD THING WITHIN YOU.
00:16:52.566 --> 00:16:54.633
BUT IN THE MIDST
OF THE VALLEY,
00:16:54.733 --> 00:16:56.099
IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS,
00:16:56.199 --> 00:16:58.999
YOU CAN HAVE AN
INTIMACY WITH THE LORD
00:16:59.099 --> 00:17:00.600
UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE THAT
YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:01.999
ON THE MOUNTAINTOP.
00:17:02.099 --> 00:17:03.666
AND IT MAKES
ME THINK OF
00:17:03.766 --> 00:17:05.199
THAT VERSE IN PSALMS 23
THAT SAYS,
00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:07.533
YEA, THOUGH I WALK
THROUGH THE VALLEY
00:17:07.633 --> 00:17:08.732
OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
00:17:08.832 --> 00:17:10.533
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE
WITH ME,
00:17:10.633 --> 00:17:12.666
YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF,
THEY COMFORT ME.
00:17:12.766 --> 00:17:14.566
AND THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT EXPERIENCING
00:17:14.666 --> 00:17:16.833
THE CLOSENESS OF JESUS,
THE COMFORT OF JESUS,
00:17:16.933 --> 00:17:20.966
IN VERY DIFFICULT TIMES
THAT IS UNLIKE
00:17:21.066 --> 00:17:22.533
WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE ON
THE MOUNTAINTOP.
00:17:22.633 --> 00:17:25.166
BOTH ARE GREAT, BUT THERE
IS SOMETHING SPECIAL
00:17:25.266 --> 00:17:27.600
AND PRECIOUS ABOUT HIM
BEING CLOSE TO YOU
00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:29.800
AND COMFORTING YOU IN
TIMES OF TROUBLE.
00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:32.466
SO I WOULD SAY
WHEN ALL HELL
00:17:32.566 --> 00:17:33.799
IS BREAKING LOOSE
IN YOUR LIFE,
00:17:33.899 --> 00:17:35.733
THAT IS WHEN YOU NEED
TO LEAN INTO THE LORD
00:17:35.833 --> 00:17:36.866
MORE THAN EVER.
00:17:36.966 --> 00:17:38.432
THE ENEMY IS GOING TO WANT
TO DISCOURAGE YOUR HEART
00:17:38.532 --> 00:17:40.700
IN THAT TIME, MORE THAN
EVER, AND YOU'RE GOING TO -
00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:42.066
IT'S GOING TO BE EASY
TO GIVE INTO
00:17:42.166 --> 00:17:44.166
DISCOURAGING THOUGHTS OR
DISCOURAGING EMOTIONS
00:17:44.266 --> 00:17:45.699
AND TO PULL AWAY FROM GOD.
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:47.900
BUT YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY
PRESS IN TO HIM
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.500
BECAUSE HE IS AN
EVER PRESENT HELP
00:17:50.600 --> 00:17:52.533
IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.
00:17:52.633 --> 00:17:54.900
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I
WANTED TO ASK YOU,
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.733
BECAUSE WE WERE JUST
MENTIONING EARLIER,
00:17:57.833 --> 00:18:00.100
HOW THROUGH EACH KID,
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.433
GOD HAS DONE
SOMETHING REALLY COOL.
00:18:02.533 --> 00:18:07.066
GOD ACTUALLY GAVE YOU A
WORD OF WHAT HE DID
00:18:07.166 --> 00:18:08.333
THROUGH EACH CHILD,
00:18:08.433 --> 00:18:09.466
AND I THOUGHT
YOU COULD SHARE IT.
00:18:09.566 --> 00:18:12.900
>> WELL, HE GAVE US A -
OR HE GAVE ME A PICTURE
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.600
OF WHO EACH KID WAS.
00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:16.932
>> CAN YOU SHARE EACH ONE?
00:18:17.032 --> 00:18:19.799
>> ASHER WAS -
IF I HAD MY PHONE.
00:18:19.899 --> 00:18:21.433
>> I ACTUALLY HAVE THEM
ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
00:18:21.533 --> 00:18:23.766
>> I KNOW THAT ASHER
WAS MY PIONEER.
00:18:23.866 --> 00:18:24.566
>> HE WAS THE PIONEER.
00:18:24.666 --> 00:18:25.799
HE WAS THE TRAILBLAZER.
00:18:25.899 --> 00:18:26.566
>> WELL, AT THE TIME
WE'RE LIKE,
00:18:26.666 --> 00:18:27.533
WELL, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:18:27.633 --> 00:18:28.466
WHO IS HE GOING
TO COME OUT TO BE?
00:18:28.566 --> 00:18:29.366
AND NOW WE KNOW.
00:18:29.466 --> 00:18:30.600
>> YEAH.
00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:32.666
>> AFTER HE'S FOUR YEARS OLD,
HE'S NOT ONLY PIONEERED
00:18:32.766 --> 00:18:34.699
BEING THE FIRST BORN, BUT
HE'S ALSO PIONEERED
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:37.000
A LOT OF NEW ERAS
IN OUR LIFE.
00:18:37.100 --> 00:18:38.233
>> YEAH.
00:18:38.333 --> 00:18:41.700
>> AS A FAMILY, AND PIONEERED
BEING AN OLDER SIBLING.
00:18:41.800 --> 00:18:42.866
PIONEERED SO MANY FIRSTS.
00:18:42.966 --> 00:18:44.366
I MEAN, ANYONE WHO'S HAD
KIDS, YOU KNOW,
00:18:44.466 --> 00:18:46.100
YOUR FIRST KID JUST
GOES THROUGH EVERYTHING
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:47.433
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:18:47.533 --> 00:18:49.200
SO THEY REALLY DO HAVE
TO HAVE A PIONEER,
00:18:49.300 --> 00:18:50.666
TRAILBLAZING SPIRIT.
00:18:50.766 --> 00:18:51.766
AND ASHER HAS.
00:18:51.866 --> 00:18:55.133
HE ALSO SHOWED ME THAT
ASHER WAS A LEADER
00:18:55.233 --> 00:18:57.366
AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE
A PROPHETIC VOICE
00:18:57.466 --> 00:18:58.932
IN HIS GENERATION.
00:18:59.032 --> 00:19:02.066
AND I REMEMBER BEING LIKE,
I SAW THIS PICTURE OF HIM WHEN,
00:19:02.166 --> 00:19:05.633
BEFORE HE WAS BORN,
WITH LIKE HIS HAND IN THE AIR,
00:19:05.733 --> 00:19:08.100
SORT OF LIKE HOLDING UP,
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.299
DECLARATIVELY POINTING
TO THE LORD.
00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:11.533
I JUST REMEMBER
SEEING THIS PICTURE.
00:19:11.633 --> 00:19:12.299
I TOLD YOU THAT.
00:19:12.399 --> 00:19:13.166
I THINK I TOLD YOU THAT.
00:19:13.266 --> 00:19:14.600
>> NO, I DON'T -
00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:17.866
>> IT'S LIKE THAT SAME TIME THAT
HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS -
00:19:17.966 --> 00:19:20.066
>> THE WORD THAT YOU GOT
BEFORE THE SONOGRAM?
00:19:20.166 --> 00:19:21.066
>> IT WAS - YEAH.
00:19:21.166 --> 00:19:22.299
IT WAS A PICTURE
OF HIM,
00:19:22.399 --> 00:19:24.233
BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY LIKE
HIM, YOU KNOW?
00:19:24.333 --> 00:19:25.800
YOU KNOW HOW GOD WILL SPEAK
TO YOU IN PICTURES?
00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:26.732
>> YEAH.
00:19:26.832 --> 00:19:29.399
>> DAYTIME VISIONS, YOU KNOW.
00:19:29.499 --> 00:19:31.599
SO IT'S A PICTURE OF ASHER
POINTING TO THE LORD.
00:19:31.699 --> 00:19:33.600
AND SO WE'VE JUST KNOWN
ALL OF OUR LIVES
00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:34.700
THAT HE IS A LEADER.
00:19:34.800 --> 00:19:35.699
HE IS A TRAILBLAZER.
00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:37.633
HE'S A PROPHETIC VOICE.
00:19:37.733 --> 00:19:39.433
AND WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING
THAT OVER HIM
00:19:39.533 --> 00:19:40.933
AND PRAYING THAT INTO HIM,
00:19:41.033 --> 00:19:42.999
AND WE SEE IT
IN WHO HE IS.
00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:46.099
I MEAN, HE'S A FOUR-YEAR-OLD,
SO BUT WE SEE
00:19:46.199 --> 00:19:47.999
THE STRONG WILL, WE
SEE THIS DETERMINATION,
00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:50.966
WE SEE THIS ABILITY TO
LEAD AND CULTIVATE,
00:19:51.066 --> 00:19:52.033
YOU KNOW, NEW THINGS.
00:19:52.133 --> 00:19:53.432
LIKE HE TRULY IS A
TRAILBLAZER.
00:19:53.532 --> 00:19:55.332
>> AND EVEN A SENSITIVITY
TO THE SPIRIT.
00:19:55.432 --> 00:19:56.233
>> TOTALLY.
00:19:56.333 --> 00:19:57.000
>> LIKE PEOPLE THAT
ARE PROPHETIC
00:19:57.100 --> 00:19:58.000
THAT THEY HAVE.
00:19:58.100 --> 00:19:59.799
>> JUST YESTERDAY, HE -
HE'S ALREADY SAID
00:19:59.899 --> 00:20:01.366
THE SALVATION PRAYER
WITH US BEFORE,
00:20:01.466 --> 00:20:03.133
BUT JUST YESTERDAY
YOU ASKED HIM
00:20:03.233 --> 00:20:05.199
IF HE WANTED TO ASK JESUS
INTO HIS HEART AGAIN,
00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:06.133
AND HE DID.
00:20:06.233 --> 00:20:07.433
>> YEAH.
00:20:07.533 --> 00:20:08.633
>> AND IT WAS, YOU KNOW, WE
WATCHED IT BACK ON OUR FOOTAGE
00:20:08.733 --> 00:20:10.666
AND IT WAS LIKE THE MOST
PRECIOUS THING EVER.
00:20:10.766 --> 00:20:13.533
HE, LIKE, SINCERELY
SAID THE PRAYER AGAIN
00:20:13.633 --> 00:20:16.366
AND YOU COULD TELL, LIKE HIS
COUNTENANCE CHANGED AGAIN.
00:20:16.466 --> 00:20:18.032
YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF
THOSE THINGS WHERE WE ALL
00:20:18.132 --> 00:20:20.333
NEED TO BE RENEWED
ALL THE TIME.
00:20:20.433 --> 00:20:22.833
AND SO IT'S JUST
SO COOL TO SEE HIM.
00:20:22.933 --> 00:20:24.266
IT'S BEEN JUST ABOUT A
YEAR SINCE HE DID IT
00:20:24.366 --> 00:20:25.199
THE FIRST TIME.
00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:27.199
REMEMBER, WHEN HE DID IT
THAT FIRST TIME?
00:20:27.299 --> 00:20:29.266
AND SO IT'S COOL TO SEE
HIM STILL WANT THAT
00:20:29.366 --> 00:20:31.200
OR HAVE A HUNGER AND LIKE
DESIRE TO KNOW
00:20:31.300 --> 00:20:33.733
THINGS OF THE LORD
AND LIKE TALK WITH YOU
00:20:33.833 --> 00:20:35.966
ABOUT GOD, LIKE YOU WERE
EXPLAINING CREATION
00:20:36.066 --> 00:20:37.233
TO HIM THE OTHER DAY
00:20:37.333 --> 00:20:39.200
AND HE'S JUST SO INTERESTED
IN ALL OF THAT.
00:20:39.300 --> 00:20:41.999
>> AND WHAT, TO ADD
ON TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,
00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:44.566
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE
BOTH FEEL CALLED TO DO,
00:20:44.666 --> 00:20:47.466
THE REASON WHY GOD SHARES
THESE PICTURES WITH US
00:20:47.566 --> 00:20:49.133
OF WHO HE'S CALLED OUR
CHILDREN TO BE,
00:20:49.233 --> 00:20:52.099
IS BECAUSE WE, AS PARENTS,
ARE THE SPIRITUAL COVERING.
00:20:52.199 --> 00:20:55.266
YOU'RE THE HEAD OF THE
HOUSE AS THE FATHER
00:20:55.366 --> 00:20:56.666
AND YOU ARE THE
PRIEST OF THE HOME.
00:20:56.766 --> 00:20:58.066
>> YEAH, ASHER CALLS ME
THE BOSS OF THE HOUSE.
00:20:58.166 --> 00:20:59.499
>> YEAH.
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:01.200
>> DAD, ARE YOU
THE BOSS OF MY TOYS?
00:21:01.300 --> 00:21:02.232
>> HE SAYS BOSS.
00:21:02.332 --> 00:21:03.566
WE GOTTA
TEACH HIM LEADER.
00:21:03.666 --> 00:21:05.599
BECAUSE LEADER IS
MORE POSITIVE.
00:21:05.699 --> 00:21:08.366
>> YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
00:21:08.466 --> 00:21:10.233
>> BUT GOD SHARES THESE
THINGS WITH US
00:21:10.333 --> 00:21:12.099
ABOUT OUR CHILDREN
BECAUSE WE'RE CALLED TO
00:21:12.199 --> 00:21:13.433
STEWARD THEIR GIFTING,
00:21:13.533 --> 00:21:15.899
STEWARD THEIR CALLING,
AND PRAY INTO THEM.
00:21:15.999 --> 00:21:18.733
>> ONE FUNNY THING IS,
ASHER WAS YESTERDAY
00:21:18.833 --> 00:21:20.900
OR TWO DAYS AGO,
OVER THE WEEKEND,
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.833
HE WAS - HE HAD
EATEN SOMETHING
00:21:22.933 --> 00:21:25.366
AND HIS HANDS WERE STICKY.
00:21:25.466 --> 00:21:26.366
AND I HEARD HIM,
00:21:26.466 --> 00:21:27.433
HE DIDN'T KNOW I
WAS IN THE ROOM.
00:21:27.533 --> 00:21:29.199
I WAS LIKE OFF THE SIDE
OF THE LIVING ROOM.
00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:31.533
AND I HEARD HIM RUNNING
FROM THE KITCHEN
00:21:31.633 --> 00:21:33.466
TO HIS BATHROOM,
00:21:33.566 --> 00:21:35.166
AND HE WAS HOLDING
HIS HANDS UP LIKE THIS,
00:21:35.266 --> 00:21:36.066
AND HE WAS LIKE,
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING,
00:21:36.166 --> 00:21:37.633
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING,
DON'T TOUCH,
00:21:37.733 --> 00:21:40.233
AS HE RAN TO - SO HE KNOWS
NOT TO TOUCH.
00:21:40.333 --> 00:21:41.600
>> YOU'VE TRAINED HIM.
00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:42.599
YOU'VE TRAINED ALL OF US.
00:21:42.699 --> 00:21:43.766
>> I WAS LIKE, OH,
THAT POOR KID.
00:21:43.866 --> 00:21:46.500
HE'S SO DETERMINED TO
NOT MESS ANYTHING UP.
00:21:46.600 --> 00:21:47.400
HE'S SO CUTE.
00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:48.533
>> HE'S SO CUTE.
00:21:48.633 --> 00:21:49.399
YEAH, BUT.
00:21:49.499 --> 00:21:51.033
>> SO LET ME
TELL YOU ABOUT BOAZ.
00:21:51.133 --> 00:21:51.900
OH, YOU HAD A
POINT TO MAKE?
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.900
>> YEAH.
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:53.866
AND THEN I'LL JUST FINISH
UP QUICKLY AND GO
00:21:53.966 --> 00:21:55.233
SO YOU CAN KEEP
FINISHING YOUR POINT.
00:21:55.333 --> 00:22:01.133
BUT ALL THAT BEING SAID, IS
CHILDREN ARE SO OPEN
00:22:01.233 --> 00:22:04.000
AND HAVE AN ABILITY
TO UNDERSTAND
00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:07.332
SPIRITUAL CONCEPTS BETTER THAN
WE THINK AT A YOUNG AGE.
00:22:07.432 --> 00:22:10.366
AND YOU WANT TO STIR THAT
UP WITHIN THEM AND TEACH THEM
00:22:10.466 --> 00:22:12.566
AND POUR INTO THEM
AT A YOUNG AGE,
00:22:12.666 --> 00:22:15.133
BECAUSE THEY'RE OPEN AND
THEY'RE LEARNING NEW THINGS,
00:22:15.233 --> 00:22:18.299
AND YOU CAN HELP DEVELOP THEIR
INTERESTS AND INFLUENCES
00:22:18.399 --> 00:22:19.632
AND ALL THAT
KIND OF STUFF.
00:22:19.732 --> 00:22:21.399
SO NOW EVEN WHEN THEY'RE
VERY LITTLE LIKE THAT
00:22:21.499 --> 00:22:22.866
AND YOU'RE THINKING,
DO THEY UNDERSTAND
00:22:22.966 --> 00:22:24.933
OR SHOULD I TALK ABOUT THIS?
00:22:25.033 --> 00:22:27.366
IT'S LIKE, YES, IT'S NO
ONE ELSE'S JOB
00:22:27.466 --> 00:22:29.333
FOR YOU TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
ABOUT THE LORD.
00:22:29.433 --> 00:22:33.033
>> AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT MADE ME WANT
00:22:33.133 --> 00:22:36.966
TO PURSUE YOU AS A PARTNER
AND EVENTUALLY MARRY YOU
00:22:37.066 --> 00:22:39.099
IS BECAUSE I KNEW
THAT YOU LOVED
00:22:39.199 --> 00:22:42.499
THE THINGS OF THE LORD, AND
YOU WERE SO ON FIRE FOR HIM
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.900
THAT IT WAS GOING TO
BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.466
BE EMBEDDED IN OUR FAMILIES,
INTO OUR CHILDREN.
00:22:48.566 --> 00:22:49.466
RIGHT?
00:22:49.566 --> 00:22:52.166
SO THERE'S SO MUCH LIKE
THAT THE FATHER
00:22:52.266 --> 00:22:54.966
IS DOING LEADING AND
SETTING KIND OF THE CULTURE.
00:22:55.066 --> 00:22:57.833
BUT YOU NEED THE MOM TO
COME ALONGSIDE AND HELP
00:22:57.933 --> 00:23:00.199
BRING IN A WHOLE
NOTHER ELEMENT
00:23:00.299 --> 00:23:02.832
THAT'S SO, SO IMPORTANT.
00:23:02.932 --> 00:23:04.333
AND I LOVE THAT
YOU DO THAT.
00:23:04.433 --> 00:23:05.766
AND I WOULD JUST
ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE
00:23:05.866 --> 00:23:06.966
TO DO IT MORE AND MORE.
00:23:07.066 --> 00:23:08.099
I KNOW IT'S GOING
TO BE HARD NOW
00:23:08.199 --> 00:23:09.966
WITH A THIRD BABY GIRL COMING,
00:23:10.066 --> 00:23:11.266
BUT ESPECIALLY AS
THEY GET OLDER.
00:23:11.366 --> 00:23:12.900
>> BUT YOU FIND THE
MOMENTS AND YOU TAKE THEM.
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:13.833
>> YOU FIND THE MOMENTS AND
YOU TAKE THEM.
00:23:13.933 --> 00:23:14.900
>> LIKE LAST NIGHT.
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:15.633
>> YEAH.
00:23:15.733 --> 00:23:16.733
>> THAT WAS A MOMENT.
00:23:16.833 --> 00:23:18.032
AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, YOU
KNOW, HE HAD ALREADY -
00:23:18.132 --> 00:23:21.066
I ALREADY PUT HIM DOWN FOR
BED, BUT HE'S ALWAYS SO OPEN,
00:23:21.166 --> 00:23:22.966
HIS LITTLE HEART,
TO TALK AT NIGHT
00:23:23.066 --> 00:23:25.433
RIGHT BEFORE HE
GOES TO SLEEP.
00:23:25.533 --> 00:23:27.266
>> AND YOU HAD BEEN
STIRRED EARLIER THAT DAY
00:23:27.366 --> 00:23:28.632
LISTENING TO A TEACHING,
00:23:28.732 --> 00:23:29.899
OR THE DAY BEFORE.
00:23:29.999 --> 00:23:30.766
>> I HAD.
00:23:30.866 --> 00:23:31.566
>> AND SO THAT WAS
PART OF IT TOO,
00:23:31.666 --> 00:23:33.366
IS YOU HAD THIS FRESH LIKE -
00:23:33.466 --> 00:23:35.099
>> UNDERSTANDING LIKE,
OKAY.
00:23:35.199 --> 00:23:36.400
>> GOING BACK TO OUR
PREVIOUS POINT OF LIKE
00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.599
GETTING PLUGGED IN.
00:23:37.699 --> 00:23:39.800
WHEN YOU PLUGGED YOURSELF IN,
YOU THEN HAD THE ABILITY
00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:41.266
TO POUR OUT INTO
YOUR CHILDREN.
00:23:41.366 --> 00:23:42.332
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
00:23:42.432 --> 00:23:43.233
OKAY.
00:23:43.333 --> 00:23:44.366
SO WHAT DID GOD
SHOW YOU ABOUT BO?
00:23:44.466 --> 00:23:46.232
>> SO, BO, HE SHOWED ME
THAT HE WAS -
00:23:46.332 --> 00:23:47.732
>> BOAZ TO SAY HIS FULL NAME.
00:23:47.832 --> 00:23:48.733
WE ALWAYS
CALL HIM BO.
00:23:48.833 --> 00:23:49.699
>> BOAZ DAVID WEISS.
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:51.732
>> BUT WE NAMED
HIM BOAZ INTENTIONALLY.
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.566
>> SO I REMEMBER, GOD
SPOKE TO, YOU KNOW,
00:23:55.666 --> 00:23:56.500
SPOKE TO ME ABOUT ASHER.
00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:58.066
AND SO WE HAD
BEEN PRAYING,
00:23:58.166 --> 00:23:59.266
WHAT IS BOAZ GOING TO BE?
00:23:59.366 --> 00:24:01.633
I CAN'T REMEMBER IF WE GOT
THE NAME FIRST
00:24:01.733 --> 00:24:02.800
OR THIS WORD FIRST.
00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:04.466
>> I REMEMBER.
YOU GOT THE -
00:24:04.566 --> 00:24:07.033
SO, JONATHAN, WITH EACH OF
OUR KIDS HAS PRAYED INTO THEM
00:24:07.133 --> 00:24:08.566
AND THE LORD HAS
SHOWN HIM SOMETHING,
00:24:08.666 --> 00:24:10.566
AND WE'VE ACTUALLY BASED
THE NAME AROUND THAT.
00:24:10.666 --> 00:24:11.599
OKAY.
00:24:11.699 --> 00:24:14.266
AND SO IT'S THIS WITH
ASHER, ASHER SAMUEL,
00:24:14.366 --> 00:24:15.666
AND WITH BOAZ DAVID.
00:24:15.766 --> 00:24:16.766
>> YEAH.
00:24:16.866 --> 00:24:19.133
>> AND SO GOD GAVE YOU
THAT WORD STRENGTH.
00:24:19.233 --> 00:24:20.532
AND BOAZ MEANS STRENGTH,
00:24:20.632 --> 00:24:23.666
BUT IT MEANS STRENGTH FROM GOD.
00:24:23.766 --> 00:24:25.499
>> AND HE ALSO SHOWED ME
THAT THIS BABY,
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:27.866
JUST LIKE ASHER, WAS A
PIONEER FOR OUR FAMILY.
00:24:27.966 --> 00:24:30.366
THIS BABY WAS GOING TO BE
A HEALING BABY FOR OUR FAMILY.
00:24:30.466 --> 00:24:31.966
AND WE DIDN'T REALLY
KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT.
00:24:32.066 --> 00:24:34.432
BUT NOW WE DO BECAUSE
THERE WAS SO MUCH HEALING
00:24:34.532 --> 00:24:38.699
THAT TOOK PLACE NOT ONLY
IN YOUR LIFE, BUT LIKE IN
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.466
OUR FAMILY'S LIFE,
IN YOUR HEART.
00:24:41.566 --> 00:24:43.299
IT'S AMAZING HOW OUR KIDS
HAVE BEEN SUCH A GIFT
00:24:43.399 --> 00:24:44.866
TO YOU PERSONALLY.
00:24:44.966 --> 00:24:46.000
>> SUCH A GIFT.
00:24:46.100 --> 00:24:47.633
>> LIKE, WE COULD PROBABLY
DO A WHOLE SERIES ON
00:24:47.733 --> 00:24:49.800
THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE
RECEIVED FROM BEING A MOM
00:24:49.900 --> 00:24:51.566
AND, YOU KNOW, EACH
DIFFERENT KID,
00:24:51.666 --> 00:24:52.966
WHAT THEY BROUGHT YOU.
00:24:53.066 --> 00:24:54.433
BUT BOAZ WAS GOING TO
BE OUR HEALING BABY.
00:24:54.533 --> 00:24:57.466
AND NOW WE SEE HIM LIKE
LITERALLY BEING
00:24:57.566 --> 00:24:58.966
THIS HEALING BABY IN OUR HOME.
00:24:59.066 --> 00:25:02.133
NOW HE'S TWO YEARS OLD,
BUT HE'S SUCH A JOY.
00:25:02.233 --> 00:25:03.733
HE'S ALWAYS
TRYING TO BRING -
00:25:03.833 --> 00:25:06.033
HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO
BRING LIKE THE BEST
00:25:06.133 --> 00:25:07.166
OUT OF EVERYONE, YOU KNOW.
00:25:07.266 --> 00:25:08.399
>> HE'S LIKE A
HEALING PRESENCE.
00:25:08.499 --> 00:25:10.099
>> NO, IT'S LIKE I'LL GO
INTO HIS ROOM TO GET HIM.
00:25:10.199 --> 00:25:12.633
AND THE FIRST THING HE
ALWAYS SAYS IS MAMA,
00:25:12.733 --> 00:25:13.833
AND HE WANTS ME TO -
00:25:13.933 --> 00:25:15.433
AND THEN WHEN YOU GO INTO
HIS ROOM, WHAT DOES HE SAY?
00:25:15.533 --> 00:25:16.433
>> DADA.
00:25:16.533 --> 00:25:17.566
>> HE JUST WANTS EVERYONE
TO BE TOGETHER.
00:25:17.666 --> 00:25:18.366
>> BRING US ALL TOGETHER.
00:25:18.466 --> 00:25:19.732
>> YEAH.
00:25:19.832 --> 00:25:21.666
>> AND IF HE EVER DOES
ANYTHING WRONG,
00:25:21.766 --> 00:25:23.833
LIKE HE PUNCHED ASH IN
THE NOSE THE OTHER DAY,
00:25:23.933 --> 00:25:27.700
WHICH IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT HE
WAS SO QUICK TO LIKE,
00:25:27.800 --> 00:25:29.200
WHEN I CORRECTED HIM,
HE WAS SO QUICK TO
00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:30.566
WANT TO, LIKE, SAY SORRY.
00:25:30.666 --> 00:25:32.133
HE CALLS IT SHA.
00:25:32.233 --> 00:25:33.466
HE GOES, WELL,
SAY SORRY, BO.
00:25:33.566 --> 00:25:35.566
AND HE GOES, SHA.
00:25:35.666 --> 00:25:37.099
IT'S SO CUTE.
00:25:37.199 --> 00:25:39.299
>> AND THEN HE WANTS TO
GIVE A HUG AND A KISS
00:25:39.399 --> 00:25:41.700
AND LIKE, HE WANTS TO
RECONCILE AND HE IS JUST -
00:25:41.800 --> 00:25:43.500
WHEREAS ASH IS A LITTLE
MORE LIKE KIND OF
00:25:43.600 --> 00:25:44.500
ROUGH AND ROWDY.
00:25:44.600 --> 00:25:46.099
HE'S LIKE, I'M NOT READY
TO RECONCILE THIS.
00:25:46.199 --> 00:25:49.500
HE'S LIKE, I
WANT VENGEANCE.
00:25:49.600 --> 00:25:52.333
BUT, YEAH, BOAZ TRULY HAS
BEEN A HEALING BABY.
00:25:52.433 --> 00:25:56.332
AND THEN WITH OUR THIRD,
GOD SHOWED ME THAT,
00:25:56.432 --> 00:25:58.633
SHE WAS GOING TO BE OUR
FORTIFYING BABY.
00:25:58.733 --> 00:26:00.332
AND I DON'T REMEMBER IF HE
SHOWED ME THAT
00:26:00.432 --> 00:26:01.732
BEFORE WE KNEW
THE GENDER OR NOT.
00:26:01.832 --> 00:26:03.799
DO YOU?
00:26:03.899 --> 00:26:05.766
>> NO. HE SHOWED YOU, LIKE,
IN THE VERY BEGINNING.
00:26:05.866 --> 00:26:06.999
>> BEFORE WE KNEW
WHAT THE GENDER WAS.
00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:08.066
>> BEFORE WE KNEW THE GENDER.
00:26:08.166 --> 00:26:09.132
>> SO THAT'S KIND OF COOL.
00:26:09.232 --> 00:26:10.166
>> NO, IT IS COOL.
00:26:10.266 --> 00:26:12.366
BUT THE THING IS,
THAT'S ALREADY BEEN TRUE.
00:26:12.466 --> 00:26:14.832
WHAT'S SO WILD IS I HAVEN'T
REALLY CONTEMPLATED THAT
00:26:14.932 --> 00:26:17.232
FOR A FEW MONTHS BECAUSE,
I MEAN, I'VE BEEN PREGNANT
00:26:17.332 --> 00:26:18.899
FOR NOW, ALMOST
NINE MONTHS
00:26:18.999 --> 00:26:20.032
AND YOU GOT THAT,
00:26:20.132 --> 00:26:22.266
I MEAN, WITHIN THE FIRST
MONTH YOU GOT THAT WORD.
00:26:22.366 --> 00:26:24.199
AND NOW I CAN SAY
THAT IS SO TRUE.
00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:25.732
I FEEL FORTIFIED.
00:26:25.832 --> 00:26:27.266
I FEEL LIKE OUR
MARRIAGE IS FORTIFIED.
00:26:27.366 --> 00:26:29.633
>> EACH ONE OF THOSE WORDS -
THINK ABOUT THIS.
00:26:29.733 --> 00:26:32.766
EACH ONE OF THOSE WORDS
HAS BEEN INTIMATELY
00:26:32.866 --> 00:26:34.733
TIED TO YOU PERSONALLY.
00:26:34.833 --> 00:26:36.166
>> YEAH.
00:26:36.266 --> 00:26:38.399
>> LIKE YOU WERE
PIONEERING THROUGH THAT.
00:26:38.499 --> 00:26:41.666
YOU WERE BEING HEALED AND
HEALING THROUGH THAT.
00:26:41.766 --> 00:26:43.633
AND NOW YOU ARE
BEING FORTIFIED.
00:26:43.733 --> 00:26:44.933
SO IT'S LIKE A WORD
FOR OUR BABY,
00:26:45.033 --> 00:26:46.600
BUT IT'S A WORD FOR YOU.
00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.699
IT'S SO WILD.
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:49.266
>> BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S CRAZY?
00:26:49.366 --> 00:26:51.466
IS THAT THE VERSE - I'M
GOING TO READ IT.
00:26:51.566 --> 00:26:52.833
>> BECAUSE YOU'RE CARRYING THEM.
00:26:52.933 --> 00:26:54.299
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LITERALLY
THEIR LIFE SOURCE
00:26:54.399 --> 00:26:56.433
FOR THESE
NINE MONTHS.
00:26:56.533 --> 00:26:59.132
>> THIS IS THE VERSE I
HEARD AND THE TEACHING I HEARD
00:26:59.232 --> 00:27:01.066
THE MOMENT I
FOUND OUT WE WERE PREGNANT
00:27:01.166 --> 00:27:02.966
WITH OUR DAUGHTER.
00:27:03.066 --> 00:27:03.866
THIS IS
PAUL TALKING.
00:27:03.966 --> 00:27:04.866
HE SAYS THREE
DIFFERENT TIMES
00:27:04.966 --> 00:27:06.466
I BEGGED THE LORD
TO TAKE IT AWAY.
00:27:06.566 --> 00:27:08.299
PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT A
HARDSHIP HE WAS ENDURING,
00:27:08.399 --> 00:27:11.932
AND EACH TIME GOD SAID,
MY GRACE IS ALL YOU NEED.
00:27:12.032 --> 00:27:15.932
MY POWER, THE FORTIFYING
POWER AND FORTIFYING -
00:27:16.032 --> 00:27:19.066
THEY MEAN THE SAME THING -
WORKS BEST IN WEAKNESS.
00:27:19.166 --> 00:27:21.566
SO NOW I'M GLAD TO BOAST
ABOUT MY WEAKNESSES,
00:27:21.666 --> 00:27:24.632
SO THAT THE POWER OF CHRIST
CAN WORK THROUGH ME.
00:27:24.732 --> 00:27:27.666
THAT'S WHY I TAKE PLEASURE
IN WEAKNESSES, INSULTS,
00:27:27.766 --> 00:27:29.733
HARDSHIPS, PERSECUTIONS,
AND TROUBLES
00:27:29.833 --> 00:27:31.000
THAT I SUFFER FOR CHRIST.
00:27:31.100 --> 00:27:34.766
FOR WHEN I AM WEAK,
THEN I AM STRONG
00:27:34.866 --> 00:27:36.866
BECAUSE HE IS STRONG
WITHIN US.
00:27:36.966 --> 00:27:39.566
AND WHAT'S SO WILD, IS
THAT'S THE REVELATION
00:27:39.666 --> 00:27:42.200
THAT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MAIN
THINGS GOD HAS TAUGHT ME
00:27:42.300 --> 00:27:43.299
IN THIS SEASON.
00:27:43.399 --> 00:27:45.733
AND IT'S ALL CONNECTED
TO BEING FORTIFIED.
00:27:45.833 --> 00:27:47.999
I'M FORTIFIED IN HIM.
00:27:48.099 --> 00:27:49.732
AND SO THIS IS WILD
BECAUSE I'VE NEVER
00:27:49.832 --> 00:27:51.633
CONNECTED THESE
DOTS BEFORE.
00:27:51.733 --> 00:27:53.800
I'M KIND OF TRIPPING OUT
MID-PODCAST.
00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:55.066
>> YEAH.
00:27:55.166 --> 00:27:59.099
>> BUT THIS IS - BUT I JUST
WANT TO SAY THAT GOD IS GOOD
00:27:59.199 --> 00:28:02.199
AND WE REALLY HAVE
SURRENDERED TO HIM
00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:05.733
AND WE REALLY HAVE SAID, GOD,
HAVE YOUR WAY IN US
00:28:05.833 --> 00:28:07.633
AND IN OUR HOME
AND IN OUR FAMILY.
00:28:07.733 --> 00:28:10.733
AND WHEN YOU GIVE GOD FREE
RULE AND DOMINION, I MEAN,
00:28:10.833 --> 00:28:13.733
HE CAN WORK THESE
BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN.
00:28:13.833 --> 00:28:16.566
AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU TO GOD
00:28:16.666 --> 00:28:18.799
AND THANK YOU TO YOU
FOR BEING A HUSBAND
00:28:18.899 --> 00:28:20.866
WHO PRAYS AND SEEKS GOD
00:28:20.966 --> 00:28:22.899
AND IS LISTENING AND
HEARING FOR HIS VOICE.
00:28:22.999 --> 00:28:25.066
AND BECAUSE THAT IS
SO IMPORTANT
00:28:25.166 --> 00:28:28.166
FOR MEN OF THE HOUSEHOLD TO DO,
NOT JUST THE WOMEN.
00:28:28.266 --> 00:28:30.333
FOR A MAN THAT'S MAYBE
STRUGGLING AND THEY DON'T KNOW
00:28:30.433 --> 00:28:31.933
HOW TO DO THAT OR
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE,
00:28:32.033 --> 00:28:33.599
WHAT WOULD YOUR ADVICE BE?
00:28:33.699 --> 00:28:35.299
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT
SOME OF THE THINGS
00:28:35.399 --> 00:28:37.699
ARE INHERENTLY IN US.
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:42.433
AND SO YOU REALLY HAVE TO,
LEAN INTO WHO GOD
00:28:42.533 --> 00:28:44.666
SAYS YOU ARE IN SCRIPTURE
00:28:44.766 --> 00:28:47.099
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS FEEL NATURAL.
00:28:47.199 --> 00:28:49.900
BUT IF YOU LEAN INTO WHO
GOD'S CALLED US TO BE,
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:52.232
READ THROUGH THE BOOK
OF PROVERBS,
00:28:52.332 --> 00:28:54.966
READ DAVID TALKING
TO THE LORD IN THE PSALMS,
00:28:55.066 --> 00:28:57.633
YOU CAN BEGIN TO SEE
THIS IS WHO MEN ARE.
00:28:57.733 --> 00:28:58.799
>> YEAH.
00:28:58.899 --> 00:29:01.166
>> AND WHEN YOU BEGIN TO SEE
THAT, I BELIEVE GOD WILL
00:29:01.266 --> 00:29:03.366
JUST UNPACK IT
FOR YOU NATURALLY.
00:29:03.466 --> 00:29:05.833
BUT I KNOW THAT ONE THING
THAT HELPS ME
00:29:05.933 --> 00:29:10.266
IS JUST THE SIMPLE REMINDER
THAT WE'RE CALLED TO
00:29:10.366 --> 00:29:13.066
LOVE OUR BRIDE, LIKE CHRIST
LOVES THE CHURCH.
00:29:13.166 --> 00:29:15.333
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THINGS
THROUGH THAT LENS,
00:29:15.433 --> 00:29:16.432
IT REALLY BREAKS DOWN
00:29:16.532 --> 00:29:18.033
SOME OF THE OTHER
THINGS THAT MIGHT COME UP
00:29:18.133 --> 00:29:20.733
AS NOISE OR FRUSTRATION
OR ANGER
00:29:20.833 --> 00:29:22.266
OR, YOU KNOW, SHORTCOMINGS.
00:29:22.366 --> 00:29:24.166
BECAUSE BOTH PARTIES HAVE
SHORTCOMINGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
00:29:24.266 --> 00:29:25.466
YOU KNOW, LIKE THERE'S
THINGS THAT I DO
00:29:25.566 --> 00:29:27.599
THAT FRUSTRATE YOU,
OR THINGS THAT YOU DO
00:29:27.699 --> 00:29:28.666
THAT FRUSTRATE ME.
00:29:28.766 --> 00:29:29.633
I'M LAUGHING BECAUSE I'M
THINKING OF THE THINGS
00:29:29.733 --> 00:29:32.199
THAT I DO THAT
FRUSTRATE YOU.
00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:33.700
BUT, WHEN YOU LOOK
THROUGH THE LENS
00:29:33.800 --> 00:29:34.866
OF WHO WE'RE CALLED TO BE,
00:29:34.966 --> 00:29:36.199
JUST BACK TO OUR
BEGINNING POINT,
00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:39.799
WHO YOU'RE CALLED TO BE,
AND YOU OPERATE FROM THAT,
00:29:39.899 --> 00:29:41.766
YOU PLUG INTO HIM
AS YOUR SOURCE,
00:29:41.866 --> 00:29:42.999
GOD MAKES UP
THE DIFFERENCE.
00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:44.266
GOD MAKES UP THE SLACK.
00:29:44.366 --> 00:29:46.133
AND SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW,
JUST CONTINUE TO
00:29:46.233 --> 00:29:49.600
WALK THAT OUT AND, THE LORD
WILL SHOW IT TO YOU.
00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:51.766
>> HOW DOES SOMEONE
HEAR FROM GOD?
00:29:51.866 --> 00:29:54.066
>> WELL, I MEAN, FOR ME,
00:29:54.166 --> 00:29:55.866
IT COMES IN
DIFFERENT WAYS, RIGHT?
00:29:55.966 --> 00:29:59.066
I DON'T KNOW HOW EVERYONE
HEARS FROM GOD, BUT FOR ME,
00:29:59.166 --> 00:30:02.366
HE'LL SPEAK TO ME
SOMETIMES OUT OF THE BLUE,
00:30:02.466 --> 00:30:03.699
AND I'LL JUST KNOW
THAT IT'S HIM
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:06.466
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COME
LIKE ANY OTHER VOICE.
00:30:06.566 --> 00:30:09.432
HE'LL ALSO SPEAK TO ME
THROUGH PICTURES,
00:30:09.532 --> 00:30:11.266
LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
WHAT HE SHOWED ME WITH ASHER.
00:30:11.366 --> 00:30:12.866
SO SOMETIMES I'LL
GET DAYDREAMS.
00:30:12.966 --> 00:30:14.966
I'M NOT SOMEBODY THAT HAS
A LOT OF NIGHT DREAMS.
00:30:15.066 --> 00:30:16.866
ALTHOUGH I HAVE HAD
NIGHT DREAMS FROM HIM.
00:30:16.966 --> 00:30:18.432
THERE'S LIKE THREE
THAT I CAN REMEMBER.
00:30:18.532 --> 00:30:19.566
AND EVERY SINGLE TIME
THEY WERE
00:30:19.666 --> 00:30:20.733
VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANT.
00:30:20.833 --> 00:30:22.200
AND LIKE, THEY WERE
WARNING SIGNS.
00:30:22.300 --> 00:30:23.399
>> YEAH.
00:30:23.499 --> 00:30:24.632
>> SO FOR SOME REASON, THAT'S
HOW HE GETS MY ATTENTION
00:30:24.732 --> 00:30:26.066
WHEN HE'S TRYING TO WARN
ME OF SOMETHING
00:30:26.166 --> 00:30:29.399
OR SHARE SOMETHING VERY,
IMPORTANT ABOUT,
00:30:29.499 --> 00:30:32.432
LIKE A DECISION I NEED TO MAKE,
00:30:32.532 --> 00:30:33.499
SO I THINK THERE'S
MULTIPLE WAYS
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:34.799
THAT PEOPLE CAN HEAR FROM GOD.
00:30:34.899 --> 00:30:38.666
I KNOW FOR YOU, YOU OFTEN
HEAR FROM THE LORD
00:30:38.766 --> 00:30:41.166
WHEN YOU GET INTO
A QUIET PLACE
00:30:41.266 --> 00:30:43.633
AND YOU'RE LISTENING
TO WORSHIP
00:30:43.733 --> 00:30:45.566
AND YOU'RE READING
SCRIPTURE,
00:30:45.666 --> 00:30:48.566
AND IT'S IN THAT TIME THAT YOU
ACTUALLY WILL BE SPEAKING
00:30:48.666 --> 00:30:51.832
IN SPIRIT TO THE LORD, AND
HE'LL IMPART TO YOU
00:30:51.932 --> 00:30:54.066
NOT ONLY FEELINGS, BUT HE'LL
ACTUALLY GIVE YOU A WORD
00:30:54.166 --> 00:30:56.332
OR SHOW YOU A REVELATION
OR SHOW YOU SOMETHING,
00:30:56.432 --> 00:30:57.599
BECAUSE YOU'LL ALWAYS
COME BACK TO ME.
00:30:57.699 --> 00:30:59.333
YOU'LL BE CRYING, YOU'LL
BE GLOWING, AND YOU'LL BE LIKE,
00:30:59.433 --> 00:31:00.900
GOD JUST SHOWED
ME THE COOLEST THING.
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:02.066
>> YEAH.
00:31:02.166 --> 00:31:05.099
AND A LOT OF TIMES, TOO,
HE'LL ACTUALLY - SCRIPTURE.
00:31:05.199 --> 00:31:06.999
EITHER I'LL BE READING THE
BIBLE AND SOMETHING WILL
00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:09.799
KIND OF STAND OUT TO ME,
OR I'LL ACTUALLY HEAR
00:31:09.899 --> 00:31:11.733
LIKE A PHRASE AND I'LL
LOOK IT UP
00:31:11.833 --> 00:31:13.000
AND IT'S A SCRIPTURE.
00:31:13.100 --> 00:31:14.266
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:31:14.366 --> 00:31:15.500
>> AND THE WORD AND THEN I
KNOW, OKAY, GO AND STUDY THAT.
00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:17.533
>> WE KNOW THE WORD
IS LIVING, BREATHING
00:31:17.633 --> 00:31:18.400
AND IT'S REAL.
00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:19.366
IT'S ETERNAL.
00:31:19.466 --> 00:31:20.566
>> YES.
00:31:20.666 --> 00:31:22.533
>> AND SO IT IS SOMETHING
THAT, ALTHOUGH WRITTEN
00:31:22.633 --> 00:31:25.299
2,000 YEARS AGO, IS NOT
ONLY APPLIED TODAY,
00:31:25.399 --> 00:31:27.333
BUT LIKE REVELATION
COMES OUT OF IT TODAY
00:31:27.433 --> 00:31:28.466
AND YOU CAN NEVER
GET ENOUGH OF IT.
00:31:28.566 --> 00:31:29.533
THAT'S THE WILD THING.
00:31:29.633 --> 00:31:30.866
IT'S LIKE YOU CAN READ IT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
00:31:30.966 --> 00:31:33.799
AND STILL WE'LL READ A
SCRIPTURE AND BE LIKE, OH WOW.
00:31:33.899 --> 00:31:35.266
>> IT'S NEVER - IT'S
ENDLESS.
00:31:35.366 --> 00:31:36.532
>> RIGHT.
00:31:36.632 --> 00:31:39.133
>> AND GOD HAS A WORD FOR
YOU IN EACH SEASON IN HIS WORD.
00:31:39.233 --> 00:31:40.433
IN THE BIBLE.
00:31:40.533 --> 00:31:43.432
AND IF YOU ARE ACTIVELY
LIKE PRAYING GOD,
00:31:43.532 --> 00:31:45.166
SEEKING GOD, READING SCRIPTURE,
00:31:45.266 --> 00:31:47.200
HE WILL HIGHLIGHT
TO YOU AND SHOW YOU
00:31:47.300 --> 00:31:48.799
AND SPEAK TO YOU
AND MINISTER TO YOU
00:31:48.899 --> 00:31:50.233
THROUGH HIS WORD.
00:31:50.333 --> 00:31:52.966
AND SO THE READING THE
WORD OF GOD IS NOT JUST
00:31:53.066 --> 00:31:55.533
SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE A
ONE-WAY EXPERIENCE
00:31:55.633 --> 00:31:57.066
WHERE YOU'RE READING
THE SCRIPTURE.
00:31:57.166 --> 00:32:00.199
IT'S A DIALOG
BETWEEN YOU AND GOD.
00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:01.833
