00:13 Welcome back!
00:14 One of the things that just my heart cry is that 00:19 we will learn to love each other. 00:22 I know that when I first came into my recovery, 00:26 when I first decided that I was going to give God 00:28 a chance, that I was going to take every single thing 00:31 that was broken about me and say God step in. 00:34 And I stepped into a body of Christ, and I don't 00:38 know how to act anymore. 00:40 Some people aren't as easy as God, 00:43 do you know what I mean? 00:45 Because God loves us. 00:46 And even in the pastoral thing, in ministry as 00:49 I watch ministers that literally step from the 00:51 lifestyle they I came in, step in front of the pulpit 00:55 are called by God. 00:56 God has His hand on them, He has anointed them 01:01 as men and women of God. 01:02 You guys, you know Ken and Sherry, God has anointed 01:05 you in that position and stood you up. 01:08 You know what, sometimes you are going to do it 01:10 incredible, sometimes you are going to say and do 01:13 exactly the right thing. 01:14 And sometimes you are going to be standing, 01:15 shaking your knees, knowing who you are as an addict 01:18 in having a clouded vision of who God is, 01:21 and what God is doing in your life. 01:23 And God says, you know what, stand anyway. 01:24 And as the body of Christ, as people around them 01:28 as their friends, we should be on our 01:30 knees during that time. 01:31 When I see his knees shake, I want to be on my knees 01:33 and say, God give him strength. 01:35 And sometimes instead of that we think, 01:38 you know what, should he be up there? 01:40 It's not ours, we didn't anoint this guy, 01:42 God anointed him. 01:43 You know it is like being able to say can I come 01:46 alongside of him, can a lift his arms up along with 01:50 Sherry, along with his mother and say God today 01:54 he can't put his arms up, but we are going to help him. 01:56 Today I'm going to walk alongside of him. 01:59 Today I'm going to be a part of his accountability team. 02:02 Today I'm going to call on Heaven to step in and say, 02:06 help him today, because he can't even say it today. 02:10 And part of who we are as Christians is that. 02:13 Part of it is to look at our own stuff. 02:15 Part of it is just figuring out who we are and to 02:18 stand up, but once we figure that out, we trust God with 02:21 that, let's look around and see who else needs prayer. 02:24 Who else needs affirmation. 02:26 Who else needs us to say you know what, 02:28 you'll make it today, you will be okay today. 02:30 And once we get to that point, we will be so safe. 02:34 I love that to be safe with ourselves 02:37 and we will be safe with each other. 02:38 If you are barely standing, I want to say to you 02:42 God is faithful, get a hold of somebody that actually can 02:47 affirm and stand beside you, edify you, hold you up, 02:51 pray for you and really get a hold of them. 02:54 I want to say thank you for joining us and 02:57 until next time always remember that 02:59 God is crazy about you, and me too. 03:02 God bless! |
