19 Oct 2025: Global Equip 25 Recap...Overcoming Weariness + Obedience.

Welcome to the podcast of the White Church in Adelaide, South

Australia. Well, we have two amazing people

that are going to be sharing with us today out of their time

away, so I'm just going to stop talking.

We're going to invite Chantelle to come, and Hilary's going to

pray for Chantelle and for the rest of us.

So there we go. I'm not surprised because I was,

I was thinking about you, this world as we were worshipping.

And I'm just like I can remember during COVID, we went for a walk

because that was the only way we were allowed to catch up.

And it was early in our friendship.

And I can remember you said something to me in that time

that's always stuck with me. And it actually came up at our

time at the Global Equip. Someone else preached a message.

It was basically, I think he had it titled Our Only option.

And it always makes me think of you because you know, the stuff

that you had walked through up until that point and you know,

whatever had gone on around you and whatever you had done and

everything else you said to me, following God is my only option.

And I was just like, that's just incredible.

It's always stuck with me. Just a young girl who just loves

God and she knows what life's throwing at her and all the rest

of it. But following God's the only

option. So Lord, we just sorry, set you

up with that. So Lord, we just thank you for

this precious, precious woman. We thank you that from the

youngest age that she has given her life to you and followed you

every step of the way. Lord, we thank you, God, that

you redeem every moment and that you carry us further into more

and more of what you have for for us.

Lord, we thank you, God, that you continue to speak to her and

grow her and shape her and use her.

We thank you for the legacy that her life will set for her family

to follow her, Lord, and that and the legacy of the revelation

that you've given her that we get to walk into.

Lord, we pray your anointing over her as she shares what

you've revealed to her over this time.

Lord, we pray for for our own hearts, Lord, that you would

soften us, that you would just prepare us to hear your voice

for our lives. Lord, that you would prepare us

to make changes, Lord, in accordance with that which she

reveals to us through your through your spirit.

Lord, we pray your peace upon her.

We pray your confidence upon her, not a confidence of her own

ability, Lord, but a confidence that comes from knowing you and

walking with you. Lord, we thank you that you hold

every step in your hand and we just pray your anointing over

her right now. Lord, Amen.

Thank. You Well, good morning.

Hello, everyone. So, yeah, I'm just going to

share a little bit about what God kind of spoke to me at the

equip, which in itself was a incredible opportunity,

testimony, all the good things that, you know, we even got

there and got to go and got to experience just the bigness of

God and everything that he's done in and through people.

Yeah, it was amazing. Bit overwhelming with the amount

of people, wouldn't necessarily recommend doing it pregnant, but

that all aside, it was really cool.

So if you ever get the opportunity to go, I encourage

you to go step out of little old Adelaide and experience the

vastness of our Kingdom. But yeah, I am also at the part

of pregnancy where if I talk too much I get out of breath.

So you have to bear with me just a little bit.

So yeah, OK, anyway, as I was saying, it was a cool experience

just seeing the different testimonies of what God is doing

from around the world and just seeing the reality and the cost

of what it means to lay down your life for God

wholeheartedly. There was a lot shared.

They packed a lot in to a small amount of time.

So yeah, they're only like really two things that stuck out

to me. Two sentences, phrases that were

said at totally two different times by two different people,

two different circumstances, two different environments and one

of them was. So it just doesn't sound

encouraging, but one of them was.

Your circumstances back home have not changed.

And the other one was don't forsake your birthright in

weariness. So before we went, I was like, I

was so encouraged to go and experience change and just all

the goodness of God has for us. And they're the two things that

stuck with me, which aren't necessarily encouraging in, you

know, the shallow aspect. And they aren't necessarily

comforting when you leave being like, God's going to change

everything. And then you hear nothing has

changed back home. So yeah, which was fun, but I

wanted to come home and feel like everything has shifted that

like, we're going to go for gold, like.

But nothing had changed. So things won't necessarily be

easy when we get back home, but my yeah, I wanted to come home

and feel like everything had shifted or changed, that things

would be easy but and that I wouldn't have to change that.

Just my situation would. But truth is, God doesn't bypass

our process. He invites us into it, which

that is encouraging for anyone who has kids, pregnant family,

that's encouraging that, you know, God's in it with us.

And he doesn't just change everything around us, but he

invites us into it and walks us through it.

So walking in God's plans and purposes doesn't just happen,

but it takes a response. It takes deliberate choices.

It takes repentance, faith, and obedience, and often course

correction, which out of those two statements is, I think what

God was trying to show me that just through life circumstances,

maybe my course hadn't quite been on God wholeheartedly or

I'd let things get in the way, but that through those two

statements, He was bringing me back to His heart and bringing

me back to what He has for me. So these two statements had made

me look at my heart and look at where I truly was in my walk,

where I actually was in my parenting and being a wife,

being a mother, being a friend. Yeah.

So I had a question that had popped up in my mind just

pondering upon this. It's have I been responding to

God out of faith and obedience or out of weariness and

frustration? Because the truth is, in life it

makes us weary. We've had health problems that

have made us weary. We've had work that makes us

weary. Family relationships have made

us weary. Parenting has made us weary.

Even like preparing for this baby like makes us weary.

So for me, I found myself responding from a place of

weariness and not necessarily out of a place of faith and

obedience. So that led me to my next

question. Have I been looking for a way

out of my weariness over contending for the inheritance

that God has for me? Which you know, you can all

answer that in your own hearts and that's between you and God.

But I know for me, some circumstances probably haven't

been contending for the inheritance that God has for me

in the way that I know that He has called me to do it as well.

So which brings us to the story that one of the ladies shared,

which is Esau's story out of Genesis 27 verse, sorry, Genesis

Genesis 25:29–34

25, verse 29 to 34, which is an example of Esau choosing

temporary relief over the lasting reward.

So just going to read out just a few bursts to remind us.

So Esau came in from the field, exhausted and hungry.

He saw that Jacob had made some Stew and in his desperation he

said, let me have some of that red Stew, I'm famished, Jacob

replied first sell me your birthright.

And Esau agreed. Esau said, Look, I'm about to

die. What good is this birthright to

me? So this little snippet of

Scripture reveals his short sightedness, that he was focused

on his present discomfort so much that he devalued his future

inheritance, a legacy that was both material and spiritual.

Which sort of links to my question Have I been looking for

a way out of my weariness? Have you been looking for a way

out, looking for temporary relief instead of holding on and

pushing in and contending for the things that God has for you?

So Esau shows us that spiritual weariness or disappointment in

the work that God has called us to can lead us to make poor

decisions. So Esau was out hunting and he

was doing what God had made him to do.

It was his God-given role, but he had came up empty and the

lack of results made him feel that what was promised no longer

had the value. And he let his momentary hunger

and discoverment discouragement outweigh the significance of his

God ordained future. Which is a big, a big thing for

a bowl of soup. Like, you know, like I don't

think I've ever been so hungry that I've gone.

Lord, you're actually not what I want.

I'm going to have a soup. So, but we can get to this place

of weariness and discouragement where we feel that we actually

can't go on. So, yeah.

And so just tying that in over the last few months, just what

I've personally felt in and for this church, listening to what

everyone has preached, what everyone has brought over the

last well, since we've been here, you know, they've talked

about God's intention for us, what it truly means to build his

house while we gather in this place.

And my questions to you guys today is have you let, have you

gone weary in trying to put these things into place because

it hasn't gone the way you expected?

You know, we've talked about opening up our homes and

connecting with each other. And sometimes that doesn't

always go the way we plan. Sometimes having someone over is

hard work. Cleaning your house for someone

to come over is not necessarily fun.

It's not necessarily what you want to be doing.

And trying to keep it clean with children in the house doesn't

necessarily go to plan. And it can make you go weary and

frustrated And but do you still expect fruit to come from it?

Or are you just focusing on temporary relief that maybe you

don't need to invite anyone over, so you don't need to clean

your house and you don't need to worry about what it looks like?

Have you stepped back, maybe even tried to hand away your

birthright, the very inheritance that Jesus paid on the cross

because it felt too hard, too slow or too uncomfortable?

You know, we've talked about worship and what that looks like

sometimes, you know, clapping your hands can feel awkward.

Sometimes holding your hands up can feel awkward, or singing

with someone stand next year is just a bit uncomfortable.

But you know, as we heard this morning, it's our very right and

privilege and our inheritance to praise Jesus with everything

inside of us. So, you know, the cost of it

feeling too uncomfortable doesn't come close to, you know,

the privilege that we have to worship him.

So the truth is that following God's call and building his

house isn't about comfort. It's about commitment.

It's about choosing faith over frustration, obedience over

weariness, and trusting that what God has spoken, he'll bring

to pass. So I have a verse that I've

personally stuck to since the equip because circumstances back

home didn't change. It's Galatians 6, verse 9.

Galatians 6:9

It's let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper

time we'll reap a harvest if we do not go give up.

And for me, this isn't just a nice verse, but it's a lifeline.

It reminds me that even in the middle of exhaustion, there is a

harvest coming. That I can't give up.

That I can't let weariness dictate my choices or derail my

obedience. I can't trade my birthright, the

coding identity and inheritance that God has given me just

because I am tired. So now my circumstances haven't

changed because I went to the Global Equip.

I still have to parent 2 very passionate boys.

There's still a house to clean and a baby to prepare for and an

endless list to sort out. But I no longer feel that I need

these situations to change for my life to get easier because

God is changing me and that God, what God is doing in me is far

more important than what's happening around me.

And if I stay the course, weary or not, frustrated or not, I

will see the fruit that he has promised.

So I just encourage you guys in this season that we're walking

in as a church, that when it gets hard and when you feel

weary and when you feel exhausted and tired and

everything else, that to keep contending for what God has for

us, to keep contending what God has for you personally and to

not give up because we'll reap a harvest and it's coming because

God said it. And that's.

The don't don't run away. Chantel was going to pray for us

in a minute. She just learned that, but you

know, like it is, it's easy to fall into weariness and you

know, serving the Lord's not easy, right?

Like it's not the easiest choice, like, but it's, it's

obviously the most rewarding choice.

It's where you, you know, it's where God's made us to be.

It's, it's what we're designed for to follow the Lord to serve

his plan and purpose. So I just, we need to respond to

that. If we're tired, if we're weary,

whatever, if we just need just to be rewinded, you know, we're

going to keep moving forward. Can we just stand and just, you

know, as a, as a response to the Lord and, and Chantel's just

going to pray for us. So thank you.

Lord, we just thank you for who you are, Lord Jesus, and all

that you have for us. Lord, we open up ourselves to

you, Lord God, in these moments of weariness and these moments

of frustration and tiredness. Lord God, when we can easily

step back and take ourselves out of the game.

Lord Jesus, to sit back and let someone else do it.

Lord Jesus, but we just speak and declare that we'll be a

people that contend for your Kingdom, Lord God, that contend

for your will, Lord Jesus. That will work, Lord, until we

see the harvest, until we see the fruit, Lord Jesus, that we

won't give up, Lord Jesus, but we will continue to press on and

press into all that you have for us as individuals and as a

church, Lord Jesus. So we just thank you that we

look forward and we look onwards, Lord Jesus, to the

harvest that you had for us, Lord the fruit, Lord God, that

we will see. It may be slow in our eyes, Lord

Jesus. It may not happen the way we

want it, Lord Jesus, but we just thank you for your goodness and

your kindness, Lord Jesus, that when you say something will come

to pass, Lord God, Jesus. So we choose to believe you over

our circumstances. We choose to believe you over

our emotions, Lord Jesus, because you are King and you are

Lord over all, and we praise you.

Amen. Thank you so much.

Good job. Hey, well done.

I'm going to ask Daniel to come. Dudley, would you please come as

well before you sit down? You sort of halfway down.

Would you come and pray for Daniel for us, please?

Thank you, man. Sorry to make you walk all the

way out here. Cool.

Yeah. Come.

Thanks. Let's all stretch our hands out

towards Dan. Father, we thank you.

This man loves you. We thank you that we see how

every opportunity he gets, he talks about you, serves you, is

available with a servant heart. You've raised him up.

I remember the day I met him when he walked into that

meeting, the things you said to me about him.

And I want to just say, Lord, I believe them to this day.

We've seen some of it and there's so much more coming.

We ask that you'd bless him now his family.

You'd lift up wherever there is weariness.

Give them strength. You've said and you promised,

and it is true as your days, so shall your strength be that you

also said, they that wait upon the Lord, they shall renew their

strength, that they shall walk and not grow weary.

They shall run and they shall rise up with wings like eagles.

And so we pray that for them as a family, their children growing

up. But I pray now that whatever

he's going to share, that it'll come in the power of the Holy

Spirit. Release him from any

intimidation, awkwardness, even lack lots of words or lack of

understanding or words that you'll speak truth with boldness

and release that comes only from the One who brings freedom in

Jesus name, Amen. Amen.

The global equip. Why say that at the beginning we

weren't going to go because financials.

And then we said, you know what, we're going to buy a ticket to

this the equip, not even a plane ticket, nothing like that.

And I remember that day we were on the beach.

We were just like, you know what, let's just do it.

However we're going to do, we're just going to do it.

And we just kept going. All right, let's try and work

out our work schedule. As men, we like to fix things

and try and get it all online. So I was like, all right, I'll

pick up some extra garden jobs, I'll do overtime, I'll do

whatever I have to do. And God saw that heart and he

opened up a door to bring the blessing that he played, paid

for flights for us to get there. The door got opened that we

could be a part of the bigger things of NCMI, but the bigger

things of God's doing over this world.

Do you connect with people that we thought we would never get

connected with? Guys from Canada, guys from

Spain, from Brazil, South Africa, now we've got doors

open, homes and places people like come, come.

So that's my first encouragement.

The next time that happens, put your faith out there step and

say I don't, I don't have it and try work it out because God

wants to see your faith in action.

And when your faith is in action and you're beating just that

small little thing on the side of you, God's guarantee you're

going to pack the bill and he did.

That's my encouragement when you do that step out, he will supply

three things. One of the big things was

obedience that run through the entire conference.

Most of the the speakers spoke about obedience being our only

option. Obedience is now, the time is

now. And the next one they talked

about fruitfulness and multiplication.

And something that really struck me is when we're talking about

weariness, there was still fruit in weariness.

And this lady shared on faith. Well, her name was Faith as

well. Faith shared on faith in

unshakeable situations or in shakeable situations.

She was in her house. She planted a garden and then

the gods like she's like, I'm looking off this garden and like

actually going to move out of this house.

Now she's like, oh, I'm not going to water the garden

anymore. But then God spoke to her heart

and said, hey, you're watering for the next generation for that

garden. So there was fruit in her

shaking. There was fruit and weariness.

There was fruit and lack. There's fruit and abundance.

There's fruit and sowing. There's fruit and harvest.

If we join with what God is revealing us, if we can see what

He's doing, we will see the fruit.

If we're submitted to Him, we'll see the fruit no matter what

season we're in. Then from fruitfulness becomes

multiplication because something that Leo shared was a fruit has

seeds in it. We ate an apple, Seeds come out,

there are multiple seeds in an apple, and then you plant it

again, and then more trees and apples come up with more seeds

inside of them, and then again and again and again and again.

That is the principle. But the beginning point starts

with obedience. If we can't be obedient, we

won't see fruit, we won't see a harvest, we won't see a

multiplication come. So I'm going to speak around

obedience this morning. Everyone likes this word

obedience. It's a word we never ever

graduate from. That's something that I really

felt strongly at the equip. No matter where you're at in

your walk with God, obedience is a word that you can never

graduate from. You continue to be obedient to

his voice. Before I get to the obedience

part, I'm going to talk about disobedience first.

Some of the David said he's like, you might want to contrast

to this. I was like, actually a smart

idea. Hey.

So when I thought of disobedience, I thought of two

people in the Bible that there's significance of their

disobedience brought to generations.

We got Adam. Adam gave up his God-given

authority as Satan. As soon as Adam ate of the

apple, he had this awareness that he was naked and he was

ashamed and then the presence of God.

He was afraid of the presence of God.

He then was taken out of their garden, so he had his peace

taken away from him. The presence of God was hard and

I had to work to get to the presence of God.

And the next thing is his relationship was fractured, not

just with God, but with Eve. He said this is the woman that

you gave me God. She she right instantly there

was a relational fracture happening here from

disobedience. There was three things that

really stuck out to me was that he lost his authority.

He lost his peace in the presence of God.

And then his relationships are all fractured around that.

And we see that throughout all of the Bible, every relationship

from there had been fractured and broken.

Sin had tainted it. The second one is Saul.

Saul was anointed king by Samuel.

He was more afraid of people than afraid of God.

And in the end there was this last battle where I'm going to

read it in Samuel one. Yeah, one Samuel 15 one to

three. One day Samuel said to Saul, it

was the Lord who told me to anoint you as king of of his

people, Israel. Now listen to the message from

the Lord. This is what the Lord of heavens

armies has declared. I have decided to set accounts

for the the nation of Amalek for opposing Israel when they came

from Egypt. Now go and completely.

The word here is completely destroy the entire like nation,

men, women, children, babies, cuddles, sheep, goats, camels

and donkeys. We skip further down to verse 20

and 22. This is what Saul was saying, he

said, but I obeyed the Lord. Saul insisted.

I carried out the mission that he gave me.

I brought back King Agag, but I destroyed everyone else.

Then my troops brought in the best of the sheep, The cattle

and the goats are plundered. The sacrifice to the Lord

regarding Gilgal. But Samuel replied, What is more

pleasing to the Lord, your burnt offerings or sacrifice or your

obedience to his voice? Listen, obedience is better than

sacrifice. Submission is better.

Saul was afraid and he wanted to kind of quote that, hey, these

are good animals, I'm sacrificing to God, but God

never said that to sacrifice them.

God said destroy them completely.

Saul didn't completely obey God. And from that very moment we see

further on in that story, the presence that was on Seoul was

taken away. And and the sad thing is it

wasn't just Saul that had to have the ramifications of the

disobedience. His entire lion, God said, I'm

going to bless your lion to have the Kingdom of Israel.

When Saul did that, the entire family, the entire line of soul

was taken away from Israel as reigning king and God raised up

David. See, 1 little disobedience may

will not feel like it affects us now, but it's going to affect

generations and people that haven't even been born yet.

I want to talk about obedience now.

So we know, we know what disobedience is, right?

It is hearing the word of God and going Nah, or God knowing

something that God's told you to do or you stirred in and you go,

Nah, too odd. That's what Australians do,

right? We just go, ah, that's a bit too

odd. Put that in that basket over

here. I shared this at Community group

and this, this verse has hit me again.

And I kept it in here because I was like, this has to happen.

So Acts 96 to 19 was a bit of a lengthy one, but we'll get

through it. Now get up and go into the city.

This is Saul and Paul at the moment.

We're just going to give us a paraphrase.

Actually, my apologies. Saul was going and hunting down

the Christians. But in this moment Saul had been

encountered with Christ, knocked off his horse, and he was

blinded. Now God was speaking to him.

And we'll start here. Now get up and go into the city

where I've told you what must must be do, must be done.

The men of souls stood speechless, for they heard the

sound of someone's voice, but they saw no one.

Saul picked himself off the ground, but when he opened up

his eyes he was blind. So his companions led him by the

hand out of Damascus. He remained there blind for

three days and did not eat or drink.

Now there's a believer in Damascus named Ananias.

The Lord spoke to him in a vision, calling Ananias.

Yes, Lord, he replied. The Lord said, go over to

Straight St. to the House of Judas.

When you get there, ask for a man of Tarsus named Saul.

He is praying to me right now. I have shown him a vision of a

man named Ananias coming in, laying hands on him so he can

see again. But Lord, exclaimed Ananias,

I've heard many people talk about this terrible things this

man has done to the believers in Jerusalem, and he is authorized

by the leading priest to arrest anyone who calls and calls upon

your name. But the Lord said, go, for Saul

is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and

to kings, as well as to the people of Israel, and I will

show him how much he will suffer for my name's sakes.

So Ananias went and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and

said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the

road has sent me, that you may regain your sight and be filled

with the Holy Spirit. Instantly, like scales full of

Saul's eyes, he regained his sight.

Then he got up and was baptized. Afterwards he ate some food and

regained his strength. Still sight there in the

believers Damascus for a few days.

See, Ananias had a little moment where he went.

He's actually got authority to do this.

Lord, Are you sure I'm hearing you correctly?

And the Lord says I've already shown him that it's you.

And so. And I says, all right, well, if

you've said you've said it, Lord, I'm going to do it.

And even that he gave him explicit instructions go down

straight, straight. If we listen carefully enough,

God will give us the right direction and instructions to us

to be obedient to what he's saying.

And from that, we're standing here because of what Ananias was

obedient to the word of God because Paul then later on we

see he's been changed to Paul and he writes the New Testament,

most of the New Testament, and we're standing here teaching the

New Testament today. And that revelation that he had,

generations were impacted by his obedience.

Many people came to know Jesus because of his obedience, but it

started with the man that was being prayed to, being asked for

a vision. Go and pray for this man.

So Ananias heard God and obeyed and it brought fruit for

generations and for generations to come that are unborn.

The next example I felt was Abraham.

We know Abraham was named Abram before he got a name change to

Abraham. And God called him out of his

own hometown and said, now leave and go to this town that I'm

going to show you. Canaan didn't tell him much more

about that, did he? He didn't say pack this much, go

this way. He just said go.

Abraham had barely any details, but he went, he obeyed God.

So this is another scripture. We may not have all the details,

but God's telling us through this, just do it because there's

an there's fruit from that obedience because then we see

that later on. He says, if you leave your

country, your relatives and your fathers, I will show you and

I'll make you into a great nation.

I will bless you and make you famous and a blessing to others.

As you become obedient, God will make you a blessing to others

around you and other generations to come will reap the harvest of

your obedience. Matthew 2818 and 20.

We all know this one, right? Jesus came and told his

disciples, I have given you all authority in heaven and earth.

Teach these new disciples to obey all my commands I've given

you and be sure of this, that I am with you to the end of the

age. Jesus said teach them to obey

all my commands. Now I've just lifted a few

commands here. Love God, love your neighbor,

forgive, turn your other cheek. Do not judge.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out

demons, freely give as you freely receive.

Preach to the Kingdom is at hand.

Go and make disciples. They're just a few things that

God has commanded us as the church to be doing each and

every day. Jesus says he's coming back for

a ready bride that also includes obedient pride to his commands

because he says there teach the new disciples to obey all my

commands. That's a hard fun sometimes

because sometimes I don't want to turn my cheek.

Sometimes I'm learning how to obey when he says turn your

cheek. I haven't seen many demons cast

out, but I'm obeying that. That's that's what the word of

God says. I'm I'm doing it healing the

sick. We just got to put our hands on

someone and pray for them in his name.

We'll see these things because it says when you preach the

gospel, these things will come. We just got to be obedient to

the simple things and God's going to do what he wants to do

in that. So if Jesus is coming back for a

ready bride, he's coming back for a bride that listens and

loves and obeys his commandments.

Why do we need to obey? It keeps our hearts soft before

the Lord. It keeps us able to hear his

voice and sensitive to what God's going to do in our lives,

through our lives around those around us.

If we're in a workplace, in a shopping center again, he said

go and make disciples. Go and share my good news.

These are things we have to be obedient to in the moments.

Be sensitive. And if we're in disobedience,

we're starting to nullify the voice of God.

We're starting to harden our hearts to what He said.

Then we won't hear clearly what He's trying to say.

See, obedience isn't a heavy thing.

Obedience is actually a freeing thing.

Obedience gives us a dependence on God like no other.

Obedience brings us in a deeper relationship with God.

That intimacy grows. Obedience reflects who He is to

others that need to see who He is.

A great example is Jesus as I as I land here.

Jesus is a great example of true obedience.

He heard the Father, He did. I know what the Father did to

say and do. He even was that obedient.

He went to the cross. He's not calling us to go to a

cross, but He showed us the true way of living an obedient life

to the voice of God. She's going to end on this

scripture verse. So far I didn't write it in

there, so bear with me. I'm so sorry.

We are made alone, Christ. Once you were dead because of

your disobedience here, many sins, you used to live in sin

just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil, the

commander, the powers of the unseen world.

So Ephesians 21 to 8, He is a spirit at work in the hearts of

those to refuse to obey God. All of us, all of us used to

live that way, following the Passion as eyes, the inklings of

our spiritual nature. But by our very nature we are

subject to God's anger just like everyone else.

But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even

though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when

He raised Christ from the dead. It is only by God's grace that

we have been saved, for He raised us from the dead along

with Christ and seated us in the heavenly realms because we are

knighted with Christ. So God can point to us in all

future examples of the incredible wealth of His grace

and kindness towards us as shown all He has done for us who are

united in Christ. God save us by His grace when we

believed, and you cannot take credit for this.

It is a gift from God, salvation in the reward of things we have

done. So we cannot boast about it, for

God has. We are God's masterpiece.

He created us a new in Christ Jesus so we can do the good

things that He had planned for us long ago.

He has good things, precious things, treasures for us, but it

all starts with obedience to Him and His Word and His commands.

And as we be obedient, we start to walk in the purposes and

plans. And I can only start with a

small thing. And He'll continue to strengthen

you and build you as you go and take that next step of faith in

the obedience. You'll get to open up the doors

of destiny for yourself, but also people that are standing

behind you. We started off with

disobedience. Generations and generations to

come. Obedience and generations,

generations to come. Each and every one of us have an

obedience that people from behind us will step into the

inheritance of that. Yeah.

Lord, we want to be a a Church of people that is obedient to

your voice, whether it's a small thing or a big thing.

Lord, obedience is obedience. And as we do that, as we step

out, Lord, we, we thank you that you would show us what you're

doing. So help us through this day and

through the week ahead to keep our ear attuned to you, to keep

our hearts soft and sensitive to us.

Holy Spirit, is there anything that you're trying to show us

right now that we can be obedient to even right now?

You're probably staring at some things, Lord, even show us how

we can do that. You gave direction.

You gave specific details sometimes.

Sometimes you don't. But Lord, we want to be that

bride that's ready for you, pure, ready and getting yourself

for the day of your coming. Lord, So help us again.

Remind us again of your commands to teach them to those that have

come through, to obey all of them so that generations to

come, that nations around us would see who you are, who you

truly are. The lost would see the reflector

of the Father in us. Your face would shine out of

ours. Lord Jesus, we we thank you that

you are our greatest example of obedience.

Show us in your word again afresh grip our hearts on how

you were the true example of obedience.

We pray these things in your name, Amen.

Thank you, man. I was just like, I was thinking

like while while Daniel was speaking about, you know, God's

leading for us and in our lives and stuff like that, you know,

God's got a, a very specific plan for us.

You know, even with soul as as Daniel shared, it's just like

soul didn't get on board with God's plan.

God didn't change his mind about the plan.

God just used someone else. And so it's the same with us,

like we don't live in a different place than these guys

lived. It's the same with us.

We could get on board with God's plan for our lives, for what

he's wanting to do, where we live, where He's got us.

We could get on board. We could be used by God or we

could not. And but God will have his way.

God's plan is God's plan. So he will use whoever is

willing, you know, and he will move from one person to the next

if need be. And I don't want us to be a

people that misses the opportunities that God has for

us. You know, I was thinking about

Agps that you know, when you say when you put in a destination

and it goes all right, go down there and turn left or turn left

on this street or whatever, so that then you turn left.

When you turn left, then it gives you the next direction,

right? So it's like obedience opens the

way for the for more direction. Now, if I turn right, what does

it do? It redirects you, right?

So you could miss where God's leading you in your life.

And it doesn't mean that God rides you off that OK, forget

about it. I'm not going to bother with

this person anymore. God doesn't do that.

But God might have to redirect a new path for you might miss

something, right? You could blow it.

You could miss it. If God was telling you how you

just marry this woman and you didn't and she married someone

else, you might have blown it. I don't think anyone in this

room, I don't think anyone in this room is like, OK, but do

you see my point? You could miss what God was

calling you to do and that might be done now.

So that has to be OK. You have to put the past, let

the past stay in the past and get on with what's in front

because God does have another path for you and I if we blow it

so. And we thank you, Lord for that,

Lord, we thank you, Lord, that that you don't turn your back on

us and throw us away like we've we've been disobedient.

That's it. You always, Lord, have a plan

and a purpose for us. You are always drawing you

sorry, drawing us to yourself. And so we thank you for that

today, Lord. And I just pray for all of us in

this room, Lord, whatever the things that because the enemy

remind us of all our messing up and all of those things.

Lord, I pray freedom in this place.

I pray that you would free us in our thinking to know that the

past is in the past and the future is ahead of us.

Lord, I pray that you would call us into your glorious future.

You are the God of of life. You are the God of future of

inheritance God, and we thank you that you're leading us into

those things and we praise you. Lord, even as we started, we

just continue our day just giving you praise and glory.

You're a wonderful God and we love you in this place.
