  39. Anyway, I encourage you to go take a look at it on YouTube and

  40. and and you know, bless your soul and it'll fill in some gaps

  41. for us today. So I want to start With a few

  42. things while be ready to catch. I do love you.

  43. Okay. I want to tell you that, I do

  44. love you and part of this message is a message of

  45. exhortation because we do love you receive it.

  46. I pray as such. First of all, I want to tell you

  47. this, stop waiting for someone to tell you who you are.

  48. Elsa, tell you who you are. It's really important that you

  49. begin to understand who you are and you don't shouldn't have to

  50. wait on someone else to tell you who you are.

  51. Matthew 7 says this. It says you hypocrite first, get

  52. the beam of a Timber out of your own eye and then you will see

  53. clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother's

  54. eye. The idea is that you gotta check

  55. your own Vision. You can't rely on other people

  56. to tell you who you are. You gotta get Claire to yourself

  57. about who you are. This is you won't believe

  58. anybody. More than you believe yourself

  59. regarding those kind of matters. The other thing I want to

  60. mention too is when you stop waiting for someone to tell you

  61. who you are, you also need to know to stop waiting for someone

  62. to tell you how great you are. Who you are, is not just a

  63. summary of faults and problems and Brokenness and damaged who

  64. you are really is greatness. First, damn is only Happens.

  65. If you was hold at one time. Your first identity is in

  66. wholeness. Your first identity is in

  67. greatness. A counterfeit 20 only works.

  68. If there was a real 22 begin with, okay, don't ever take your

  69. identity from your state or condition.

  70. You take it from the intent of your creation.

  71. Don't don't stop waiting for someone to tell who you are.

  72. Stop making excuses for who you are now.

  73. That's on every side. So keep those five says this

  74. concerning this, we have much to say, which is hard to explain

  75. since you have become dull in your spiritual hearing and

  76. sluggish. It's lawful slothful.

  77. But even though, by this time, you ought to be teaching us

  78. Others. You actually need someone to

  79. teach you over again. Sometimes you gotta stop making

  80. excuses for who you are. If it's lawful it's lawful if

  81. you sluggish your sluggish, stop making excuses for who you are,

  82. be who you are on, who you are? The word says this.

  83. I wish you either cold or hot, God can deal with cold.

  84. Cold is honest. Cold is authentic, code.

  85. Is, I ain't trying to get hot. I'm glad we understand who you

  86. are and you understand who you are.

  87. I can work with that. Lukewarm deceiving your own

  88. selves thinking you something that you're not they just

  89. everything confusing slows. The whole process down.

  90. Stop making excuses for who you are.

  91. First Corinthians 11 says this. Let a man thoroughly examine

  92. himself or herself. Fourth, We searchingly examined

  93. ourselves, detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our

  94. own condition. We should not be judged and

  95. penalty decree, examine. Yourself examine your own soul.

  96. You have to really take a look at who you are.

  97. Excuse making gets in the way of you doing a good examination and

  98. the problem is that when you don't do a good examination, I

  99. said before you don't find out how glorious you really are, how

  100. amazing the intent of your creation really has.

  101. Been you miss out on the good stuff?

  102. You never get to the good part. Stop.

  103. It's time to grow up. It's time to grow up.

  104. It's I didn't say it's time to grow up.

  105. I said, it's time to grow up. Where your life or you're not

  106. grown? What does it mean to be grown?

  107. It says this. In First Corinthians 13, He

  108. says, one, when I was a child, I thought like a child, I thought

  109. like a child, I reasoned like a child.

  110. Now that I've become a man, I've done with childish ways in a put

  111. them aside, I'm done with them. Put them on the side.

  112. It's time to grow up. It's time to get away from the

  113. childish things. It's time to make that decision

  114. period, you use. I said earlier in the earlier

  115. service. I came to church.

  116. I'm 50 plus years old, new way of doing things.

  117. I can sit back and say Hey, I don't want to be bothered the

  118. best way. Is this, y'all don't know what

  119. you doing and the Holy Ghost, put my carelessness son.

  120. It's time for you to grow up. You need to be more impressed

  121. with what I'm doing. Then the way you used to do it

  122. and you need to go ahead and ask them what your dirty to your to

  123. your are getting rooted here, and you need to grow up and get

  124. with what God is doing. Childish, this is not just a

  125. function of age, it's a function of maturity and development.

  126. Its time grow up. That is subtitle for this is the

  127. champion Scout themselves. Everyone say Champions Scout

  128. themselves. What does it mean?

  129. What does it mean to scout yourself?

  130. It means to examine how much are you in the word to examine?

  131. How much are you speaking the word of God?

  132. It means to examine. What is your love walk?

  133. Really? Like a trick First Corinthians

  134. 13, says this love bears up under anything and everything

  135. that comes is ever ready to believe the best of every

  136. person. It's hopes are faithless under

  137. all circumstances and it indoors everything without weakening its

  138. that your love walk. If that's not your love walking,

  139. you need to go ahead and examine a scout yourself and say where

  140. am I coming up short? You also need to scout yourself

  141. and say, hey, where am I doing a good job.

  142. Where am I really showing some strong, Finn?

  143. What I'm doing? Where have I grown from?

  144. The last time I took an inventory of how I am and how I

  145. was doing. You gotta do both.

  146. Size of that, right? So what is scouting scouting is

  147. the process of looking at the details of your opponent, in

  148. order to gain an advantage in strategy, execution, in mindset,

  149. I want to know what you doing. So I know what to do to

  150. counteract, what you doing. I want to know what you doing,

  151. so I can see how what you're doing.

  152. It's connected to my strengths of my abilities.

  153. I want to know what you're doing, so I know what I need to

  154. get on my side to overcome, what you bring in, okay?

  155. It doesn't mean you have to rely.

  156. Why just do what you have. But I need to know.

  157. So I need to know what we're dealing with and what we working

  158. with when you're scouting and involves a deep examination of

  159. every level of the entire team, in the entire organization,

  160. scouting is not. Just surface levels, scouting is

  161. at every level. Every single level, you got to

  162. scout. The players got to scout the

  163. coaches. You gotta Scout the front

  164. office. You gotta Scout concession

  165. stand. You gotta Scout everybody on the

  166. team to figure out what are they doing?

  167. Because everything that if the team is working, Well, everybody

  168. has a role that contributes to Victory.

  169. The person selling popcorn and peanuts gets contributing to

  170. Victory and they're contributing the victory.

  171. You need to know how so you can understand exactly how to

  172. respond to that. It's important here to note that

  173. your opponents are scouting. You, if you don't think scouting

  174. is important. You are opponents do Your

  175. opponent's a stout and you they're looking for familiar

  176. spirits, poor responses, and uncheck flesh.

  177. Acts 19 says this, but one hero Spirit spoke out to someone and

  178. said Jesus, I know, and Paul, I know.

  179. But who is you, who are you? They scouted Paul.

  180. It's got a geez. I know when Jesus shows up, I

  181. know what he walks like, what he talks like how he acts, how he

  182. moves, I know how to get out of his way when he's moving because

  183. I don't want to get caught. But you I don't know what it

  184. suggests is this. I've been scouting, you and

  185. you're trying to operate out of someplace that you are not at

  186. your trying to operate way above your head, way above, your pay

  187. grade at this point, you really think you gonna make some

  188. progress. You need to check yourself

  189. before I have to wreck yourself. Just redoing them favor.

  190. Per the enemy scouting, you and look for it says this that Jesus

  191. when he was tempted to enemy moves until another more

  192. opportune and favorable time, the enemy is scouting for

  193. opportunities, he's got it for patterns.

  194. Okay, well someone Pat's you on the back says good job.

  195. You get so enamored with people-pleasing that you get

  196. pumped up enemigos. All right?

  197. The way that make you crash is to have people with hold that

  198. affirmation. Now you a crash, it?

  199. Okay? He's looking for opportune times

  200. in which to move when you're weak, or when you're strong and

  201. you get distracted by what God is doing.

  202. He's looking for opportune times.

  203. So, ultimately Champion Scout themselves.

  204. It's important to really recognize that Luke 14 says

  205. this, for which of you wishing to build a farm.

  206. Building does not first sit down and calculate the cost whether

  207. you have sufficient means to finish it.

  208. Scouting yourself. Do I have the resources?

  209. Do I have the Personnel? Do I have that vision for?

  210. Do I have what it takes to get through the difficult times?

  211. That is scouting yourself. The scripture says, it's wise

  212. for you to understand who you are, who you working with, and

  213. what you have because Champions learn to scout themselves.

  214. The enemy is scouting. You the enemy's checking your

  215. Tendencies. The enemy seemed ways that

  216. you're familiar ways that you're comfortable, the enemies,

  217. checking to see things. You haven't addressed and dealt

  218. with. You need to do the very same

  219. thing. Ready.

  220. The scripture goes on to say this, I won't read it, but it

  221. says this. Because if you hit, if you don't

  222. Scout yourself to see whether you're able to finish, you'll

  223. get started. We'll have enough to finish and

  224. not everybody's laughing at you. Everybody's pointing the finger.

  225. Oh, that's what Jesus looks like.

  226. Sorry, young, keep that I can finish them home.

  227. If that's what Jesus looks like. All the talk a little bit about

  228. what. Good scouting is good.

  229. Scouting makes you be honest with Self.

  230. We got a deal according to the faith, God has given you.

  231. You got to be honest with yourself, I don't have the faith

  232. for that. I do have the faith for that.

  233. I got the face for that but I don't have the discipline for

  234. it. Good scouting causes you.

  235. To be honest with yourself, you can't have transformation

  236. without correct information about exactly where you really

  237. are. It's important to be honest with

  238. yourself. Good scouting breaks Tendencies,

  239. you do everything the same way all the time Paster talks about

  240. this hey You come in and praise the day, do something different

  241. moves to a different seat, take a different posture.

  242. Let your body activate you in a way that causes new things to be

  243. released, good scouting breaks Tendencies.

  244. Tendencies can get you in a rut Tendencies from athletic

  245. perspective will call stagnation.

  246. Are you stop growing even though you keep working these things

  247. get too frustrated. And like you talked about when

  248. he shared earlier you think things not working.

  249. So you quit good scouting. Yeah, cause you to break

  250. Tendencies when you Scout yourself, you find out.

  251. What do my going consistently, right?

  252. What am I doing consistently wrong.

  253. The Scouting is honest, accountability.

  254. Honest accountability Joshua 1 says this Moses.

  255. My servant is dead, it's not get up good scouting brings honest

  256. accountability sometimes just is what it is.

  257. Discounting is not well you know you're not you do okay.

  258. And You know, and maybe with a little more work you can be but

  259. you're not gonna make it. We're gonna cut you tomorrow.

  260. It's better than you know now and get on to the next plan for

  261. your life because the grace ain't on you for here but maybe

  262. you'll find in this place. You go being fired appropriately

  263. and quickly can't be a promotion.

  264. It stops you from confusing and wasting your time and effort is

  265. something that God is not going to produce and you can't reduce

  266. without him. Honestly.

  267. Countability good scouting makes you face the hard Parts.

  268. Second Timothy To says this, take your share of the hardships

  269. and suffering. As a good soldier, a good.

  270. First class soldier of Christ. Jesus.

  271. Good scouting would have you faced the hard part's?

  272. Good scouting. Tails listen.

  273. Every time they get into a hard place they don't they back up

  274. they back down in order to see that whatever Next Level.

  275. God has you with the to achieve, they going to be Hearts places

  276. and good. Scouting will evaluate whether

  277. you can succeed there and it's If you use an athletic

  278. perspective when an athlete goes to a team to figure out whether

  279. they can play for that team, that team will put them through

  280. a workout. The workout will put that

  281. athlete in hard, places to see whether they can endure the hard

  282. places and do you know that sometimes the heart place isn't

  283. on the field. Sometimes a hard place is in the

  284. interview room. They put you at a table in the

  285. interview room and they have a Cameron the mirror watching you

  286. and the intentionally say, okay, we're not going to go in there

  287. for 15 minutes. Let's see how they respond to

  288. ambiguity and uncertainty and stress and pressure everybody.

  289. On our team is going to be height weight measured.

  290. The question is, we had a mindset to be effective.

  291. Do they get distracted or did he stay in ready for someone to

  292. come through the door? They start getting on their

  293. phone. Scrolling through Facebook, good

  294. scouting makes you face. The hard part's good scouting

  295. requires stained intentional self-examination.

  296. Psalm 139, says this, try me and know my thoughts.

  297. See if there is any wicked a hurtful way in me.

  298. You got to be intentional and self-examination.

  299. It doesn't happen by accident. If happens by you.

  300. Have any willingness to actively engage the process?

  301. Lord, search me. God, I'm in this almost and and

  302. I'm going to stare and I'm going to look, I'm gonna be patient if

  303. I have to keep listening and praying for days or weeks.

  304. Got I'm in this thing but it does require you to be

  305. intentional and the face was exactly what you what you see,

  306. good scouting, confirms your Authority and Power.

  307. John chapter 10 says this. Jesus says, no one takes my life

    John 10 chapter mention

  308. away from me. I'm authorized and have power to

  309. lay it down. I know who I am.

  310. I've scouted myself. How did Jesus God himself?

  311. You know, Jesus, God himself. He went through the scriptures

  312. and as he went through the scriptures, the spirit of God

  313. said that shoe right there. That's you.

  314. You have that Authority. That's why I've called you to

  315. be. You going to fulfill that part.

  316. That is your purpose. That's your plan.

  317. That's your call. And he understood who he was.

  318. He understood his authority. Good scouting will.

  319. Have, you understand your strengths?

  320. If you don't understand your strengths, you won't know the

  321. grace where God operates in your life.

  322. Most strongly, you gotta know. You know, I've heard is that

  323. this, that the key to real Success is Not Your yes.

  324. Is this your nose? If he knows say no.

  325. Yes. Don't mean much.

  326. In order to say, yes, you got to know what your strengths are.

  327. And once you know what your strengths are knows become easy.

  328. Now, that ain't me. No, I don't do that.

  329. No, that's not right. No, I can't do that.

  330. No, I can tell you someone who can but that's not me.

  331. No, know if you get this call me.

  332. So I can do that all day long. At the highest level it requires

  333. knowing your strengths as well. Good scouting.

  334. And if cause you to be bold, going to go to John 18.

  335. I want to go over this room, very quickly.

  336. Pilate said to Jesus, then you are a King.

  337. Jesus answered facts, they said facts.

  338. So why are we still talking? I know who I am.

  339. You know? Who you are, Sam.

  340. And what you got to say. Your king, recognize King.

  341. What you got? When, you know your strengths,

  342. not afraid. You're not, you don't shout,

  343. that's not Pride. If you were king and you acting

  344. like a pauper or a prince, then you are then exercising, Pride,

  345. you putting yourself at the middle of your identity, rather

  346. than who God's called you to be. Jesus said, I'm a king mcnutt's.

  347. Not check out the flex on this though.

  348. Here's the flex Jesus is like this, this chakra through our

  349. Paces on jumpsuit, What about it?

  350. Well you know who you are. Your conditions can't convince

  351. you otherwise your circumstance can't pressure from the outside.

  352. Can't would you know who you are?

  353. And I will tell you the thing, the enemy tries to do most easy,

  354. get you to change your name and change your identity.

  355. There's a scene in a in a TV series called Roots.

  356. I don't, you know about that. Alex Haley Roots and it's a

  357. about a family that was taken hostage in Africa and brought to

  358. the US as slaves and is an iconic scene there, where young

  359. Kunta Kinte is his name, I believe I'm pronouncing it

  360. properly, he's strapped up and they whipping them and the whole

  361. point of whipping him is to make him say his name, your name,

  362. Toby. Wow, Kunta Kunta Kinte, the name

  363. is Toby, whack Kunta good, I know who I am.

  364. Even under pressure. The only reason he said it

  365. because he's so felt for his parents and their fear for his

  366. life that he finally said Toby. But as soon as they cut his foot

  367. and cut him down, he said my name is still Kunta Kinte.

  368. When you know who you are, you don't flex this Gowdy innovates

  369. strengths. Jesus had all the fivefold

  370. ministry in him. But he understood what was going

  371. to be required to move forward as a church.

  372. So after he Descended and then us and and he said I'm going to

  373. take the gifts in me and I'm gonna spread them around amongst

  374. people. You may have been able to pin me

  375. down with a crowd but now I'm gonna put my gifts and you you

  376. you IMA innovate try to catch all 500 of us now it becomes

  377. difficult. If not impossible because County

  378. innovates the enemy the devil can't be every place.

  379. So the more I put my gifts in more people the more he's

  380. overmatched the more he's outclassed the more he He

  381. doesn't have a chance. Good strategist Gotti.

  382. What will innovate? Good scouting projects

  383. development because cat allows you to see where you need to

  384. grow and what God is taking you on a walk through, this is some

  385. scriptures, very quickly. Matthew 16 we have Jesus's

  386. account talking to Peter when he says you are the Christ.

  387. He says this. And I tell you you are Peter a

  388. rock. He's telling me, you got

  389. Potential man, you do you solid. I know it's in you.

  390. I know your future. I know what God can do with you

  391. and your life, you solid, but in Luke 22.

  392. He says this beer, I'm telling you before, single cock shall

  393. crows. This day, you will three times

  394. deny me, even deny that, you know, me.

  395. So the choice now is you throw all that away.

  396. What you do. Here's what Jesus Does The

  397. Scouting develops Talent? The develops Talent through

  398. weakness, do insecurity, good scouting, develops.

  399. This is what Jesus says. When he gets up from the grave

  400. to, the people who came out, he said, but he said not get on

  401. your way. Tell the disciples and Peter, I

  402. have not forgotten the potential in.

  403. You have not forgotten the plans.

  404. For you. I know you denied me.

  405. I know that Shane has come on you because of that.

  406. But I'm telling you, I've scouted you Peter.

  407. I know who you were before the foundations of the world and I'm

  408. telling you the calling your life has not changed the calling

  409. your life has not diminished their still place and purpose

  410. and opportunity for you either. Get up and get going, man.

  411. The Scouting develops potential, good scouting magnifies

  412. weaknesses. It gets back to understand.

  413. You're good at and what you're not second Corinthians 12 says

  414. this show yourselves. Oh here I come.

  415. I'll all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities

  416. that the strength and power of Christ May rest upon me.

  417. He says some visit, the Buffett me as a seal or three times take

  418. it away. He said, brother, you might you

  419. asking the wrong thing. You ought to be focused on how

  420. much bigger I am than that. You know what the most one of

  421. the most iconic games is and basketball is the Denver game

  422. game 6. I believe the Denver gang.

  423. Well, Michael Jordan put about 40.

  424. I know how he scored on the Denver Nuggets.

  425. Do you know why that's an iconic game?

  426. It's called the flu game with. Jordan says it was a bad Pizza,

  427. either way, he's on the sidelines, throwing up in

  428. between plays he's guardi. Andrew when the play is going,

  429. he's like this as soon as the ref calls timeout.

  430. He's gonna see me like this, Why do you remember that?

  431. Not because he didn't have a thorn but because he drew on the

  432. grace to overcome even with some Thorn.

  433. That's why you remember that game.

  434. Thank you. That's why I remember that game,

  435. clicking Scotty magnifies weaknesses because when you

  436. magnify the weakness the grace of God is there to meet you,

  437. good scouting reloads rather than rebuild.

  438. This scouting is always look to position.

  439. People always look to activate people if you're in a church

  440. like This and we have 15 Usher's.

  441. And someone says, the Lord says, you know, I think maybe you, you

  442. should maybe want to Usher a serve in that category, you'll

  443. look back and say, I don't understand why you got 15

  444. Usher's. We listen, we're not trying to

  445. ever rebuild. We always just trying to reload.

  446. We want people already activated and ready to go.

  447. We don't have to want to. We don't have to want to wait,

  448. three years in between every Championship, I'm from Chicago

  449. and Chicago, Bears and won a championship in 1985.

  450. They've been rebuilding ever since In that time, Patriots won

  451. like seven championships, they've been reloading ever

  452. since you don't have to rebuild, you want to have to reload.

  453. That's what God did with Moses and Joshua.

  454. Good scouting looks at the entire year and where you going?

  455. Not just where you are. We don't have to be this week,

  456. next week, what am I going to face Monday?

  457. Wednesday, September, December the scouting projects the entire

  458. year, and where you have to be, you have to examine yourself.

  459. Where am I in this season of Life?

  460. Next, season of Life, The Next Period I'm going to face

  461. piscotty looks in all of that. Not just where I am right now

  462. and where I'm going to be. Like, you know, an ultimate, A

  463. Five-Year Plan looks like, where am I going?

  464. What's the trajectory good. Scouting values, mindset

  465. maturity and motor over measurables.

  466. The Bible talks about how God looks at the heart.

  467. With David, I don't care how big you are.

  468. I'm big enough for both of us. What I need is a mindset.

  469. What I need is maturity and I need a heart, I need a motor,

  470. it's not gonna quit. I need some folks, they faulty

  471. gonna get up who when the righteous fall, they get up

  472. seven times. I need you to be able to

  473. rebound, I need you to be able to deal.

  474. Adversity and say do perplex. I'm not cast down forsaken

  475. mother forbade abandoned but not forsaken, I need you to be able

  476. to go. I'll have all the measurables

  477. that you need but I can't change your mindset.

  478. You got to work and do that. So good to you.

  479. Look for the measurables, the enemies greatest Advantage is

  480. your ignorance of Who You Are. Scouting yourself destroys the

  481. enemies greatest Advantage ignorance because you know who

  482. you are. You come to understand who you

  483. are. Man I can sit on that.

  484. All day, your heart will always Scout you your heart never let

  485. you get away with stuff. If you cheating the process,

  486. your heart going to condemn you and it's your heart that will

  487. cause you to feel that you not quite This or not quite that.

  488. You may not say, you may not tell nobody, but your heart

  489. knows, that's why it's important to make.

  490. Sure your is that you are honoring God in the secret

  491. places in the private places. So that way your heart does not

  492. condemn you and you know exactly who you are.

  493. First, there's some deception of who you are because you've been

  494. cutting corners. Good scouting requires a team

  495. scouts at every level and this is the place where I really want

  496. you to dial in and focus with the rest of this time.

  497. This County requires a team, you can't do it on your own.

  498. You need other people, there's got to be people in your life.

  499. Not just, haha people, but people who work with you, if

  500. they tell you, you got a bad attitude, it's not a discussion.

  501. It's not a debate. It's yes, you're right.

  502. I have a bad attitude. You gotta have those people in

  503. your life. Who, who you give them the

  504. Liberty to scout you. You give them the Grace to pull

  505. your chain to give them. You give them wait in your life.

  506. Then when they tell you, you're slacking, you go, okay?

  507. Yeah, you're right. It's not a debate.

  508. It's not an explanation is not. Let me explain why.

  509. It's not, what you don't understand what I've been going

  510. through. Now, you're right, I'm slacking

  511. facts. And that's it.

  512. If you don't have those people in your life, you'll walk around

  513. deceiving yourself. So good, scouting requires

  514. Mission requires us to teach one another and teach each other and

  515. encourage each other. If Willing to submit to someone

  516. being able to call that out of you.

  517. You're going to walk around to see if you yourself thinking,

  518. you're better than you are the stronger than you are.

  519. And what's gonna happen is you're gonna get challenged one

  520. day and then you going to collapse under your own weight

  521. because you never was what you thought you were.

  522. And when that happens, hopefully, it's not at a high

  523. level, which means other people's lives.

  524. Get shattered in the process first, but when that happens,

  525. the first thing you do is this wise You let me, why didn't you

  526. say something? Well, you didn't want to listen.

  527. Well, why don't you just override that I'm not here to be

  528. a dictator? Now, if you want my help I'll

  529. Scout you. And then I'll let you know what

  530. I'm seeing. And but if you don't want to

  531. help fine, I'll Scout the folks who want to be Scout.

  532. I help the people that want to be helped.

  533. This guy team requires you, as I said, just to say, you're right,

  534. and stop being difficult. Good scouting requires you to

  535. say you're right. Stop being difficult.

  536. Hebrews 13 says this obey your spiritual leaders and submit to

  537. them. The bottom says this, do your

  538. part to let them do this with gladness and not with sighing.

  539. And groaning was that would not be profitable to you.

  540. You got to be willing to say yes when I got an attitude folk

  541. don't want no attitude, I ain't got time for that.

  542. Go stay in your bondage. You know what happened?

  543. When people stay in their bondage, they get they get cut.

  544. Now, you don't get cut either way.

  545. The Bible says, you either be cut back prune to Bear more

  546. fruit. I'll cut off and sit someplace

  547. else. You don't get cut either way,

  548. but they going to be cut to move forward.

  549. I cut to be moved to move to the side.

  550. You gotta be willing to give if you would all this attitude and

  551. it gets back to Who you gonna submit to Good championship,

  552. teams learning Scout themselves. Tom Brady got someone that's

  553. Scouts him the tell sometimes you're doing this too much.

  554. What I'm the greatest quarterback ever to I get that

  555. time but I see this pattern of problem or whatever it is goes

  556. on in your in your practice. They got to be willing to stop

  557. being difficult. Good scouting requires you to be

  558. quiet and listen Miss. I'm like you said that already?

  559. Yeah. And we only To hear it about

  560. what 50 more time. Just got it requires you to not

  561. stop talking and listen. Okay, listen, you got an

  562. attitude, you need to stop it now. 12 listen good, this God

  563. requires you stop and listen, guess what?

  564. I think you're amazing. I've always believed in you and

  565. the talent that you have. You do stuff. if that blows

  566. people's minds and Amazing call on your life.

  567. The Scouting says I'll stop and I'll listen And if you say that

  568. my answer is still the same. Yes, you're right.

  569. It works both ways. Good.

  570. Scouting requires you to get out of your fields.

  571. Matthew 17 says this and I brought him to your disciples so

  572. these people couldn't do the work.

  573. Instead of the person is talking I brought him to your disciples

  574. and they were not able to cure him and Jesus answered.

  575. Oh you unbelieving, walked away with rebellious thoroughly.

  576. Perverse, generation. How long I got to be with you.

  577. How long about a bear with you? Bring them to me.

  578. On the other side is understanding.

  579. How to break through. You can't be in your feels good.

  580. Scouting requires you not to be in your feelings, you are not

  581. performing at the level. You will never be a pro, you

  582. will never excel at this level. What you don't understand is my

  583. dream now. Okay, I'm okay.

  584. All right, I'll deal with that. Jesus will come at you very

  585. directly and if you in your feels you're going to miss it

  586. because got him requires the word.

  587. Everyone says the word because the word is going to expose you.

  588. The word of God is going to uncover you.

  589. The word of God is going to reveal in.

  590. You exactly what's going on. It says this in Hebrews 4 that

  591. the word is is alive and sharpening, a two-edged sword.

  592. We all know that part but to the bottom it says this exposing and

  593. sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and

  594. purposes of your heart. The word is scouting, you.

  595. The word is checking you right in the Always speaks the truth.

  596. Do you want to hear it or not? And if you don't then the word

  597. go silent. That's why you got to be willing

  598. to submit to the word of God, not when you find out what it

  599. says but because it is the word of God submit to the word of God

  600. and didn't say God I'm have to figure it out if it hurts this

  601. confused about to figure it out but I'm submitting to it.

  602. Why what does that mean? It means god.

  603. I trust that you love me. I trust that you had a

  604. communicating to me in ways that are for my good for me and for

  605. the generations to come now. For all eternity God, I think

  606. Got a plan is so big that maybe, you know, things that I don't

  607. know, maybe you understand things, I can't quite

  608. understand. So when I go to your word and

  609. I'm confused or think things are in Conflict, I'm not gonna say

  610. God, what's the problem? I said God, show me what you're

  611. really talking about here. Help me understand what it says.

  612. It seems confusing to me. I want to tell you one story

  613. about that very quickly in terms of God, revealing the word, I'm

  614. African-American. My skin tone is brown and I come

  615. from the US. People use the Bible to justify

  616. slavery and one of the verses is slaves obey your masters.

  617. Now people have talked about slavery, being something

  618. different back in that day you being not slavery as the u.s.

  619. knew it with more internship server to okay fine.

  620. Make those distinctions but it still says slaves obey.

  621. Your masters. I never says Masters.

  622. Go get slaves. He said whatever state you find

  623. yourself in, don't discredit the love of God, by getting into

  624. account of rebellion that counteracts.

  625. Exactly who you are. It says that once this one other

  626. place, another verse it says this slaves obey your masters on

  627. your message but if you have an ability to get your freedom, go

  628. get it. That's a God.

  629. Those are just verse this but then gosh turned my heart.

  630. God is hard God what God what does that mean for me?

  631. How do I deal with that? What?

  632. Is that mean for my family? What I've experienced and God

  633. said, man, it's more than a verse, that's a response, it's

  634. the book of Philemon, there's a whole book, God has in response

  635. to that get Booker's of cleanliness in response to

  636. slavery, not just the fur. But you mean what?

  637. You not understand the book of Philemon by Lehman was someone

  638. that had a slave named Donna. Simius on the Simian said, I'm

  639. gonna get my freedom All the same.

  640. He is took off on his way to taking off.

  641. He went to Rome and Rome encounter, Paul.

  642. And Paul, he got saved and born again.

  643. But Paul said, on the see me, she got to make this right, bro.

  644. IMA write a letter for you. So, Paul pens, a letter to

  645. Philemon. Philemon, you slave do what you

  646. want, but just remember, I'm the one who helped set you free.

  647. I'm the one that brought at Liberty to your house and if and

  648. if I've done anything good for you, Think about that when you

  649. trying to do something to him, if you owes you money, I'll pay

  650. you. Even if I don't, pay you need to

  651. cancel it anyway. What you want to do, Philemon?

  652. The whole book of Philemon as a response to the heart question

  653. that people use one verse on to distort.

  654. A whole generation is centuries and a system.

  655. That's saying God, I'm spend to your word, help me understand.

  656. Show me biscotti requires the Holy Spirit, of course.

  657. Romans 8 says this, he who searches the heart of man knows

  658. what is the mind of the, of the spirit for the spirit enter

  659. season. These before, God, on behalf of

  660. the Saints. According to, and in harmony

  661. with God's will, it's the holy spirit that knows your heart.

  662. We've already read Psalm 139 to talks about that search.

  663. My heart. You can't beat, you can't, when

  664. he Scout yourself without the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit

  665. going tell you the real deal. He's gonna tell you what's

  666. really going on. He's going to look deep.

  667. He's gonna look in the dirty you know.

  668. The Holy Spirit does triage, you know what triage is, okay?

  669. You ever see the movie and TV show MASH?

  670. We must see that magic a that's triage triage is stuff blood

  671. guts everywhere. You got a mask on with the blood

  672. is flying. So much has gone on top of the

  673. mass, under the mask, in your mouth and your nose, it's just

  674. the nature of the thing and people say the risk of saving

  675. life. The water saving life is worth

  676. the risk. The Holy Ghost is not afraid to

  677. get into the deepest, darkest dankest, places of your heart

  678. and soul, if you willing to let him into Scout, you in those

  679. areas, he knows the truth. But listen, When I say that, how

  680. many of you in here right now? Go like yeah, dirty tank.

  681. He knows the diamond that's in you.

  682. He knows the value that's in you, you know, the mountains us

  683. on your life. You knows what you been through

  684. the try to discourage you from. Walking out in, you're calling

  685. your destiny. You knows how to operate.

  686. He knows with a place where it's going to operate best.

  687. How many of you are would take a?

  688. If I had a Lamborghini right here and it was covered in mud

  689. and I said who want this mud? How many of y'all will go.

  690. Like I'll take it. wow, because the mud on it, don't mean the

  691. mud is it The Holy Spirit understands what God created you

  692. to be who you made you to be, do you understand the trauma that's

  693. come on you to create mud on the top?

  694. He said a reveal the diamonds and reveal the truth of the

  695. treasure. That's on the inside of you but

  696. that only comes if you let him stay out you championship teams

  697. learning Scout themselves and part of what keeps us from

  698. scouting ourselves. It's fear of what we're going to

  699. find shame of what we've been through.

  700. A concern that we won't have to deal with some things.

  701. Finally, that we've been hiding. You think not Scout yourself is

  702. going to make you Excel? It's just gonna set you up to

  703. fail and be confused and be disappointed.

  704. Told the story in the first service by Tom Brady.

  705. He was a fifth round, draft pick low rounds, he's on the team.

  706. You walk past them that the coaches were only saws filed on

  707. the table. They want to take a look at it

  708. and it said, uh, all right, little bit of our Strength,

  709. skinny, I don't know maybe, third string.

  710. Once he started scanning report, he knew what he was dealing with

  711. The Scouting Report unlocked, his greatness because he's able

  712. to honestly deal with the fact, I've never started my college

  713. team. I was picking the fifth round

  714. for a reason. Let me just get roll my sleeves

  715. up and get to work. Best investment that, Team ever

  716. made best investment. The league is ever made. so, I'm

  717. going to close this time out in prayer, and I want to ask you to

  718. engage The close, your eyes, even in this kind of lead, maybe

  719. Lean Forward, just to engage. Father, we thank you, and I'm

  720. asking the holy spirit being worshipped in you.

  721. Come on up, I'm asking the Holy Spirit.

  722. Father, eliminate the barriers, to be self, scouted, God, lift

  723. the shame, remove the fear. Remove the concern, remove the

  724. Brokenness and the barriers, and the scar tissue that gets in the

  725. way. Lord, clear the way for you to

  726. do the work in us for us to scout ourselves.

  727. Lord, remove the fears that keep us from being afraid to submit

  728. to people when they have something to say.

  729. Remove the barriers that calls us to be touchy when people just

  730. telling us the truth. God help us to see the jewels of

  731. people you have in our lives to be able to just say yes.

  732. You're right. Yes, I have an attitude.

  733. Yes. If they say it ten thousand

  734. times each time is just yes. You're right IMA keep saying.

  735. Yes. As long as you keep calling it

  736. out but then I'm Do something about it.

  737. Father, we thank you, the right now, you're moving all over this

  738. room and our hearts and our lives.

  739. You're changing our prayers. God say, God, give me a team to

  740. help. Help me Scout myself.

  741. Give me some people who I can trust some people, I can rely

  742. on. Well, I'll be willing to be

  743. vulnerable to to see the good, the bad, the joys, the games are

  744. sorrows, so I can really see where I am.

  745. So, I want to be on a championship run.

  746. Oh, Lord. Thank you, Father.

  747. Thank you for this moment. Thank you for the joy.

  748. Of these Revelations coming. Jesus name.

  749. Stories that have proved faithfulness.

  750. And now seen Miracles, my mind can comprehend, and there is

  751. Beauty in what I can undo. Stan, Jesus, it's you, Jesus, is

  752. And I'm the one to working God in the wonder-working.

  753. God all the Miracles. I see, you're too good to not

  754. believe the wonder-working. God you heal because you love

  755. all the Miracles? Has I see too good tonight up

  756. and leave two goods and I'll believe too good to not believe.

  757. He's not here with my own head but just raise the dead.

  758. So, all the glory to the only one who cares.

  759. Jesus it. You that's a response most I

  760. can't wait to make my own. We just saw the glory to Jesus.

  761. Tase you. Oh, Jesus.

  762. You're too good to last. I c-can't to disappear.

  763. I see, broken bodies heal. Don't you tell me I can't do it?

  764. Don't you tell me I can't do it? Why Siri, like Resurrection, I

  765. see mental health resort. You might have to turn the music

  766. down with tiny bit, but when I was watching the stream, I seen

  767. the worst clean, the number of people beginning to cry.

  768. I saw Malia starting to cry a lot and I'm like, okay, God,

  769. really moving started.

  770. Texting me, telling me. I couldn't help, but to want to

  771. call in its Kyle still here. So the people of Love quest for

  772. other your new or not, I just felt, I had to call the one.

  773. I was going to wait and just tell people, hey, tell Kyle to

  774. get back. I feel like there's something in

  775. this moment that people need to understand when I say we're

  776. Revival. Like how many times do we have

  777. to prophesy? The sons and daughters are

  778. coming home and it, don't don't forget, Kyle's name was in that

  779. bucket as well. Hallelujah, you want a nation to

  780. believe God? And we're going to have to have

  781. a church believed God, and I just wanted to pray over Kyle,

  782. because there's no moment right now.

  783. I need people that are new to love quest to understand a

  784. little bit. Kyle, was a young man who came

  785. to church and Vancouver. Kyle gives stand up or if Kyle

  786. can come to the front, that would be great.

  787. So people can see God. I want people to understand what

  788. we were to Strathcona, everybody knows these tastings and what

  789. the rumor is about that. There is a story, there is a

  790. narrative, but God is looking for people.

  791. And I want people to remember what the Lord has said to us

  792. wherever the double river goes, there will be life.

  793. And for those you may see Kyle right now, but and and Kyle

  794. shirt is tucked in, but there was a time that Kyle walked in

  795. our church. We can Sony couldn't keep up.

  796. There was a time Kyle walking our church.

  797. So, high off of hardcore drugs, there was a time that Kyle would

  798. walk in our church with 10 blankets on them.

  799. There was a time we would lock down church and say bye to Kyle

  800. as he fell asleep on the steps. And I remember there was a

  801. couple times. Kyle would begin to worship, I

  802. remember calling him out front, if I'm facing the audience,

  803. Audience. I remember that.

  804. I remember that day. Clearly, when we call Kyle down

  805. to the left side and we began to prophesy that Kyle is going to

  806. sober up and Kyle is going to preach the gospel one day and

  807. Kyle is gonna be one of my Amy's one day.

  808. I remember that Kyle popped up on the marriage Ministry called

  809. one day. Standing by him.

  810. Even as he was strung out on drugs.

  811. He had a child in our church for many reasons, but we've said it

  812. over and over that God is bringing his sons and daughters

  813. home. And as we got out of that, 21

  814. days of fasting and praying. I'm telling you that we are

  815. about to see more and more and more and more Sons and

  816. Daughters, walk back in church. God's word will not return void.

  817. I want to say to you Kyle that you have not lost your value.

  818. I heard something today that if you have a dirty all crinkly

  819. Dollar I'm feces on it and you hold it up next to a fresh off

  820. the press dollar, you might want to take the fresh off, the press

  821. dollar but a dollar is a, what never loses its value.

  822. So even in your conditions, Kyle, when you were strung out

  823. on drugs, if you were Dean God's child and you never have lost

  824. your balance. You never have lost your value

  825. son just because you're cleaned up, don't make you more

  826. valuable. And I remember talking to you

  827. and looking pasture conditions and calling the son of God up,

  828. and I wanted to tell you and daughters are coming home.

  829. His sons and daughters are soaked, sobering up.

  830. God is handing out, even Kyle. I need you to hear this and

  831. everybody else got is contending for their sons, their daughters

  832. do Father's Day. Mother's, God is handing out new

  833. lungs. He's handing out a new livers

  834. and he's handing out a new brain cells and dreams you went from a

  835. statistic to a meaningful specific.

  838. a mighty man of God as a father, not drunk.

  840. Sturdy, you'd have not messed up, God's plans to use your

  841. story as a part of his plans for you, for your child for your

  842. family. Your past will not overshadow

  843. your future, but your future will overshadow your past.

  844. He's treating your addiction for drugs, porn addiction for

  845. righteousness and salvation Kyle that pharmakeia has no more

  846. power over your life. Once moved in and out of your

  847. life, it has no more authority over your life.

  848. So we bind the spirit of pharmakeia, in the name of

  849. Jesus, I want you to know Kyle that there's a seat.

  869. millions of dollars into the kingdom for more transitional

  870. homes and Recovery homes. In the name of Jesus, and I

  871. declare last week that there's pastors and evangelists that we

  874. pastors and evangelists that are rising from the ashes of

  875. addiction. This is this is the new church.

  876. This is what God is doing. He's putting people in the

  877. Pulpit with real stories, that really understand his Redemption

  924. attention to what's in the room. Right now, only reason God is

  925. displaying his miracle-working power is because if he did it

  926. for Kyle, he did it for Kyle's. Parents.

  941. And we are heading into a season the next season, and we are

  942. about to see a massive Harvest walk through our doors, and

  943. that's not only Souls, but it is finances.

  944. Is resources is favor. There is about to be an uncommon

  945. power that rests upon love quest but it's not for us to Bath in

  946. on four walls. Is for you to walk in the

  947. marketplace. The Lord is calling us to

  948. prepare the house for the Harvest is, he's the lord of the

  949. Harvest and he sending Sons and Daughters home, and we have to

  950. be prepared to love people. We have to be prepared, to
