Has Your Mind Been Making You Miserable

Because if you let too much fear in right now,

if you let too much content in right now, you

are gonna go crazy.

You're gonna go crazy.

If you start imagining what your kids are gonna be

like at their graduation of high school and they're in

second grade, you're gonna go crazy. Keep it in a

bubble like. Let me give you a Bible verse, sufficient

is the day for its own trouble. You got enough

trouble in today's.

Bubble. Trouble bubbles. That's part three.

I'm gonna do part three.

Will you help me free?

Par three? But Jesus, it gets crazier than that. When

he got to the house. Give me the next verse. Police,

when they came to the home of the synagogue leader.

Now we've got his home where the issue is and

his position.

And he comes into the home and wat's what's going on.

Jesus sees a commotion. People cry him, wail and loudly.

Everybody's tweeting and blogging and streaming and talking and pontificating

and a million opinions. Jesus went in and said to them,

why all this commotion and willing?

This child is not dead but asleep. And they verse

forty left at him.

So wa'ts what he did? You say you want to

be like Jesus. You want to be like Jesus. After

when did the miracle happen?

After he put them all out? After he put them

all out? I feel a delete party happening in in

your contact.

Section while I preach the word of God. Now, don't

delete everybody. He took the disciples with him. You don't

put everybody out, You don't put.

Every thought out.

But sometimes you have to believe in the bubble, right,

Sometimes you can't ask everybody sometimes, I mean, I mean,

you gotta ask your boss, you gotta ask your wife, you.

Gotta ask the important people.

You gotta have a few. But it's too much, right,

it's too much.

Right now, God send me with a word to get

you in a in a bubble.

He said, everybody leave, because sometimes breakthrough only happens in

the bubble. In the bubble, Thank you Lord. He's showing

me things. He's showing me things. He's giving me things

right now as I speak to you. And then while

I'm getting those things, there's other things being like, oh

that's dumb or wow, that's really stupid. But I'm in

the bubble. I gotta keep it in the bubble. I

got to remember, while I'm preaching that I'm not preaching

for somebody who's going to criticize what I say or

I think it's weird. I think that's crazy. So if

you think I'm out of my mind, that's the goal.

That's the goal.

My mind has made me miserable for most of my life.

They said they laughed at Jesus.

They laughed at Jesus not because he.

Was weird, but because he was He was focused, and

he knew enough to know the original Did you ever

see this in the text chunks? I bet you did.

You probably preciate this before. But Jesus had the original

NBA bubble, not the National Basketball Association. No butts, allow,

come on, let's have some fun together for five minutes, don't.

I don't want to say it like this, but I'm

going to. We could probably edit it for the archive.

Get your butt out the bubble, the Bible said. Does

the Bible say butt in verse forty? Does the Bible say,

but but they.

Laughed at them? Get out?

Get out, get out, get out, get out.

You can do it. But it's get out? Why ab up?

Get out, but get out, get out, get up, get out.

I'm doing this. Some breakthroughs can only happen.

In the bubble, where you got a few friends, where

you got a few objectives.

We've got a few priorities, not trying to be everything

all the time.

Now I'm gonna do this and this and this, and

I know who I am and I'm not trying to

prove to anybody that I'm something else, and I'm not

trying to play a different role. Come on, just because

we have to wear physical masks doesn't mean we have

to wear emotional ones.

I thought it was so weird.

When they said masks are it's weird to see people

in masks, I said, not for me. As a pastor,

I've been looking at people in masks, So Jesus knew

that sometimes it takes a bubble to maintain belief. After

we get done with this, you'll put in the in

the chat or in the comments this week what the

bubble means for you. I mean, like I need to

have like five minutes when I start my day to

remind myself where my health comes from. I did it

today because once I come here, there's too many stimulus,

like I'm gonna be like, Oh, the room's too hot,

the room's too cold. Why is that person not here?

Why is this person there? Why do I jeans saying,

can I get to the thing that I do? The

thing I said be too much? I sit there and

breathe in the bubble for a minute, right, and it

really helped me. I don't always do it, but when

I do, it helps me out loud. I started saying.

I popped the thought bubble and actually pray to I said, God,

thank you today that you have given me something that

will help and heal people.

I thank you for it, Lord, And I thank you today.

That as I preach, I stand in your authority, not

my own. I thank you that you've given me what

I need for the role I'm in. And maybe you

want to start your day that way. Maybe want to

start your day that way. Maybe you want to clarify

your priorities again, you know what, I've been so busy

over here. Then, of course, after he made the bubble,

he showed him what to break through. Looks like, I

don't even want to read it because I'll be tempted

to preach it because the Bible said when he went

in where the child was Verse forty one. He did

the impossible, He did the impossible, He did the impossible.

One daughter thought she was a woman with an issue,

but another daughter that they thought was dead when he

took her hand. Wow, what would it feel like for

something that you thought was dead? Maybe not a person

joy clarity took it by the hand. This was not

how Gyros thought it would happen, This was not what

he believed for It was better.

It was better, It was even better.

What if God wants to burst your bubble.

To give you something better? Thank you, Lord, I receive that.

I receive it God. I don't want to live my

life chraffed in my bubble. You know, Jesus took.

This girl by the hand. Gyros said, well, you put

your hands on her and she'll live. Remember that. That's

how he scripted it. That was his blueprint. That was

his blueprint. But Jesus didn't didn't bless him.

According to his blueprint.

He took her by the hand and said talath the coon,

little girl get up, And when she got up, drivers

didn't even ask for this looked Verse forty two. Immediately

the girl stood up again to walk around. She was

twelve years old. At this they were completely astonished. Next verse,

he gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this.

Keep it in the bubble, Keep it in the bubble,

Keep it in the bubble, Keep it in the bubble.

Some things are for you, and.

Told them to give her something to eat. He threw

lunch in for free.

When I say that God's got something better, God said,

I'm gonna put fries in the bag that you didn't

even ask for. I'm a feed you something that's your

faith didn't even know the reach for. I'll call you

back and make you a daughter. I'll fix you a

peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I'm a provider, speaking of extra Can I give you

another scripture?

Now? I promise you.

I have preached you enough where I can close the

Bible in good conscience and we can go on and

watch something else.

Or you can stay with me while I traverse centuries

of history and introduced Gyrus, the man whose bubble saved

his faith, the man who believed even when his daughter

was dead, the man who kept moving forward even through.

The worst pain of his life.

Like Levi Lusco, like fly time, my barber, the man

who pressed through unimaginable.

Pain to experience restoration. And I want to show Gyrus

about a man he never met because he lived hundreds of.

Years before him.

His name was Nayman, and Nayman had a bubble too.

Naming was a great man.

That's what the Bible says.

He's a great man. He was good at fighting.

I want to introduce nam into Gyrus because they're very similar.

They're very similar.

I think they would be good friends if they met.

I think they'd be good friends. If they met, I

think they'd be I think they'd be good friends.

So Gyros was a synagogue leader, Well, they probably wouldn't

have been great friends because Gyrus was Jewish and Naming

was over Aram modern day Syria and Israel and Syria

didn't like each other, so they would have a lot

to get past. Sometimes the people God wants to bless

you through, Sometimes the people God wants to use in

your life are going to be people from totally different

backgroundsh Aka, God wants to burst your bubble. I thought

about having a prop up you're blowing the bubble, you know,

a sound effects or whatever, but I was like, no,

this is in a cute message.

Is a powerful message.

Just because I'm saying it as a bubble. It's so

much bigger than That's like, you know, I never knew

Monk's Corner was gonna marry Miami. Holly was from Miami, Florida,

and I always thought I would marry a Southern girl.

And Holly's not. Let me think how not southern she is.

She thinks boiled peanuts taste like dirt. At least she did.

I showed her boiled peanuts some of y all in

other places of the world. You're like, what is he?

She's speaking in tongues. He says something about a peanut

being boiled. But see, I grew up in the Monk's

Corner bubble, where boiled peanuts were a delicacy.

I cracking no crab legs.

I'm cracking the boiled peanuts, and from the gas station.

The homemade ones.

Were a treat, but I had to do it at

a gas station. If we need to, you never had

a boiled peanut in your life before you came to Charlotte.

That woman tasted boiled peanuts in my mom's kitchen. I

was so like I had my dad fried. I was

trying to impress her. I had my dad fries some shrimp,

and I had some boiled peanuts my mom. It was

a whole family effort. We were just dating and she

tasted them, and I watched her to see what she

would think.

She said, it tastes like dirt.

I laid my hands on her until every Miami demon

came out of that woman. And this day I stand.

To give God glory.

She cooks me boiled peanuts once every two weeks, and

she eats them too. Let's praise God for the miracle.

Come on, I got a testimony from death to life,

from Miami to Monkst.

Corner.

A man told me, I couldn't stand to what you

preached because you were white, But God used to you.

A man told me, I couldn't stand to what you

preached because you were young.

God used to you. A teenager told me, I used

to not like.

To listen to you because I thought you were boring,

But then God used you. God might not use who

you thought he would use. Nayman was a great man.

Oh my God, many victories. That was his position. Look

at it in verse one. He was a great man

in the sight of his master, and highly regarded that

means in the public places, in the public places, in

the public places, it was, it's great, But the Bible says,

you see it in verse one. But is it up

there or did I make it up? The Lord gave

him victory. God's given you victory. God's given you some things.

But he had leprosy. Nobody would have known that under

his armor the woman was bleeding on the inside. Naman

has something that is eating away at him even as

God is working through him, and both both can happen

at the same time. So uh, he kind of demonstrates

what I was telling you about that often God will

spend you, send you an answer through an unexpected person

that you didn't even ask the question to. God will

answer your prayers in places that you didn't even think

to ask. When that thing happened with school last year,

I did not know that you were going to be

my workout partner. But that's some of the best times

of every day for me. I'm talking to my son Elijah.

Sometimes when I'm down there, I don't know whether to

be a dad or to be a trainer, you know,

because I want to yell at him, and.

Then I also want to be a good dad. And

comfort him like.

It's okay, you don't have to kill one more rep.

I don't know which one to be.

And God used something we were both frustrated about with

school to get us down there in that pound.

You never thought you'd be throwing around those big weights either.

At first, we wouldn't work out together because his weights

were too small.

I don't feel like we.

Racking that much, you know, the big guy, you know.

But now we lift together, he's getting strong. I never

thought my son will be my workout partner in this season.

I know it's a.

Silly analogy, but sometimes got to use something to bond

you with your child. I mean, it's just amazing. We

talk about everything and that I'm gonna write a book

about the things we.

Talk about in that workout room. I already wrote the

introductory chapter.

I'm gonna wait till he's fifty years old to publish

it in case he, you know, doesn't listen to any

of it.

But maybe I'll just give it to him. Maybe I

will never write them. I don't know.

See, I'm getting to this point in my life where

I don't start stop trusting so much in.

What I thought bust the bubble bust the bubble.

Stop thinking that there's only one style of ministry that

God can bless you through. Stop thinking that ravens can't

bring you food. Stop thinking that sticks can't part red seas.

Stop thinking that only the first one in gets healed.
