1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I call upon you Lord for constant guidance in everything that I say and I do.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Lord move me behind the cross.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
That your word will be glorified.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Cover me with your great and awesome spirit and let the ears hear a word from you.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Gracious Lord nurture us with your word.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Give us the scripture.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Give us your freedom.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Give us your guidance in your direction.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Grant us that we may be all that you call us to be this day.

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And let us know Lord that your love and grace is enough.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
In Jesus name we pray.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Amen.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Usher's you may be seated.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Thank you for your service.

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Ms. Allen thank you this morning for the information and our info keepers going on the things we need to do.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Ms. Brendan the Goppe Choir thank you for your music and your ministry to God through music.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And Ms. Joyce Mims thank you for all your service.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Usher's, greeters and anyone who was involved in worship this morning.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Ms. Gwen Butler thank you for your training yesterday.

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
We all were enlightened.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Thank you for your assistance.

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
God is a good God.

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
He is a mighty, mighty, mighty God.

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
All the time.

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
The songs that we're singing through the month of February

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
are those that were either written by African Americans,

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
either spirituals that have come from our history,

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
but all of the hymns that we sing this month are in the United Methodist hymns.

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
We have written much as great people.

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
We have given our lives to the Lord.

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And our history is something to be celebrated.

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
God is a mighty God.

33
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,000
But even in all His mightiness, even Jesus was tempted.

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
This morning's message is simply titled,

35
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Tempting Choices.

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Tempting Choices.

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Have you ever just decided on your own?

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Anybody who has you can just raise your hand.

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
But you've decided on your own that you just want to be in the wilderness.

40
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Any people that just run out to be in the wilderness?

41
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
There's a few.

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
It's quiet in the wilderness.

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
It's a change of pace in the wilderness.

44
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And all of us who may visit the wilderness from time to time,

45
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
we expect a miracle on the other side.

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
But it's amazing even though we may walk into the wilderness,

47
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000
there is such a wilderness experience to be led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit.

48
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
It's a different kind of journey.

49
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
It's a different kind of encounter.

50
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,000
But to be led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit is a different thing altogether.

51
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
I know some of you have been to Lakeview.

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And as you're approaching the wilderness in the 21st century, things happen.

53
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Our phones get a little tricky.

54
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
We shake it and say, excuse me, I think I'm in that range where my phone,

55
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
my signal is getting ready to drop.

56
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I'll call you back.

57
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Or maybe when we get into the wilderness, all of a sudden,

58
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
instead of having regular street lights, you have that one traffic light that just kind of flashes.

59
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Check and see if anybody's coming through.

60
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But if you don't, stop if you need to, go if you might.

61
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I'm talking about your hometown.

62
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Is that the town with the gas station at the beginning and the one at the end?

63
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
No gas station?

64
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
You know he's in the wilderness.

65
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
You know he's in the wilderness.

66
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
But our wilderness is, we see the signs that we're approaching wilderness.

67
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000
And it's not necessarily this big sign that says wilderness two miles ahead.

68
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
You start to see a change in the scenery.

69
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Fewer homes, fewer cars, fewer interactions.

70
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:56,000
It gets kind of quiet, and even the radio stations in the wilderness are a little different.

71
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
You've got about three or four to choose from.

72
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Not that many?

73
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
I've been in a different kind of wilderness, huh?

74
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I think I brought my radio to the wilderness.

75
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
I might have cheated.

76
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,000
But wilderness experiences are designed to change us.

77
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:25,000
And so before you go down memory lane and think about your last wilderness experience,

78
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,000
I just want to give you a few notes from the Gospel passage.

79
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
This is basically for the background.

80
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Many of us have known these things, but this is a little background.

81
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
The Matthew passage is a narrative.

82
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:51,000
It is telling us a story, and it involves three major characters, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and the devil.

83
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:59,000
And then there are three major temptations that the devil makes against Jesus.

84
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:07,000
In verse three he says, if you're really hungry, turn these stones into bread.

85
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,000
In verse five he says, if you're really who you say you are,

86
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
throw yourself down from the highest point of this temple.

87
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000
But then the third one is the clinger.

88
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000
He figures if he can get Jesus on this one temptation, the other two will just come right away.

89
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:38,000
The third one he says, all of this belongs to you.

90
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,000
But it can belong to you if you bow down and worship me.

91
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:53,000
For you see, Satan wanted to tempt Jesus with something Jesus already had.

92
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
He took him to the highest point and mountaintop.

93
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
He showed him. He said, look all around.

94
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
You can have all this if you just bow down to me.

95
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
That's in verse nine.

96
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:18,000
But Jesus' actions are what we're going to focus this message on, because Jesus took three actions.

97
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:26,000
To the first one where Satan said, turn this bread into stone if you're so hungry.

98
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
The background to that is Jesus had been fasting for nearly 40 days and 40 nights.

99
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
He was almost at the end of his time in the wilderness, and guess what?

100
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
He was hungry.

101
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000
You ever been in the wilderness for 40 days and you done ate all the berries you want to eat?

102
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
You done fasted and prayed, and you said, now look here.

103
00:07:49,000 --> 00:08:01,000
I prayed, I talked to the Lord, and the Lord has talked back to me, and I need some manna from heaven.

104
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
But Jesus said, man doesn't live by bread alone.

105
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
But on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

106
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
That is his answer in verse four.

107
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:23,000
But if you go back to the Old Testament and remember that Jesus was fulfilling prophecy,

108
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
you have to look at Deuteronomy 8 and 3.

109
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:38,000
And basically it says, he humbled you, causing you to hunger, and then feeding you with manna,

110
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000
which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone.

111
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
But on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

112
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:57,000
And he goes on and says, your clothes did not wear out, and your feet did not swell during these 40 years.

113
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So Jesus was covered.

114
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Jesus was covered, but Satan was trying to imply that he wasn't.

115
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Jesus also goes on to the second temptation and says, do not test your God.

116
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Do not put your Lord, your God to a test.

117
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
That's verse seven.

118
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Let's go back again to Deuteronomy 16, 6.

119
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And it says, except the place, he will choose as your dwelling for his name.

120
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:46,000
There must be a sacrifice in the evening when the sun goes down on the anniversary of your departure.

121
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:56,000
For you see, he's talking and he's teaching, but he's telling us, don't test the Lord.

122
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Because believe it or not, the devil knows who Jesus is.

123
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:11,000
But the third thing that's really, really interesting, that Satan wants him to bow down.

124
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Jesus says, worship the Lord and serve him only.

125
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And that's where we're going to plant this message.

126
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Worship the Lord and serve him only.

127
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Say to your devil, just worship the Lord and serve him only.

128
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,000
And the benefit of serving him is in verse 11.

129
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
And it says, then the devil left him and the angels came down and attended him.

130
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:52,000
But only when Jesus begins this wilderness journey, he has to call the angels.

131
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:00,000
But Jesus demonstrates a great and holy bonus that defies almost our understanding.

132
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Because, you see, Jesus was convicted.

133
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Jesus was a righteous Lord.

134
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
His actions were a pure faith and obedience.

135
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
But he was aware that you will get tempted.

136
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And like I said, the name of this message is Tempting Choices.

137
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Jesus was tempted by the devil.

138
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:34,000
But he was such a great and awesome God that the temptation didn't stick.

139
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
That's good news.

140
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Because we're all tempted.

141
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000
And because Jesus set a tone, guess what?

142
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
He set an example for you and for me.

143
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000
On top of the temptation, Jesus knew his identity.

144
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000
And so did the devil.

145
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000
You say, well, why is that important?

146
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Because the key thing in this passage is the devil wanted Jesus to betray life.

147
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
That's right.

148
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Satan wanted Jesus to betray what he was called upon to do.

149
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:27,000
A commentary writer, her name was Dr. Alice McKenzie, she writes about this story.

150
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
She writes about this temptation.

151
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:39,000
She says the key phrases that Satan keeps saying is, since you are the Son of God, do this.

152
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
And since you are the Son of God, do that.

153
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,000
But Satan is not trying to decide Jesus' identity.

154
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Because it's already a known factor.

155
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Satan is trying to get Jesus to betray who he is.

156
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
But the good news is he didn't.

157
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
That's what's important to you and me.

158
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,000
And it says here that the temptations Jesus encountered are not his alone.

159
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
For you see, they are his at that moment.

160
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
But they are the temptations over all of God's people.

161
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Are you a child of the King?

162
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Are you in a situation or has there occurred in your life that you know that you know that you know you was tempted?

163
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,000
And you say to yourself, yeah, it happened.

164
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
But did you follow the model of Jesus Christ?

165
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Or did you give in on those tempting choices?

166
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Truly I say to you that the first two temptations set atone.

167
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
But it's that last one.

168
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
That's the last one.

169
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
That's the newsflash that says I understand you are Jesus the Messiah.

170
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
I know that you say you're all that.

171
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
But I want to tell you what can be done.

172
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,000
But Jesus says, flee.

173
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:24,000
He says to the devil, worship the Lord your God and serve him only.

174
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.

175
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:38,000
That means the temptations can only be dealt with if we worship the God and not the tempter.

176
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
For you see, Jesus was on the mountaintop.

177
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Jesus was where there was great splendor.

178
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Jesus had been taken to a point that was high above all things.

179
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:58,000
But his conviction and his faith superseded the devil's temptation.

180
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000
So what are your tempting choices when you go into the wilderness?

181
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Do you go and prepare?

182
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Do you carry your word?

183
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:17,000
But do you carry it beyond just a book and carry it in your heart?

184
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Do you pack your bag that has all the things you need?

185
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Do you carry your keys?

186
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Or do you just let the Holy Spirit take you on the journey?

187
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Or maybe you carry a specialized bag that has a little room for a sandwich that's got a little thermo

188
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,000
covering the front that you can get away with a sandwich for a couple days.

189
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:52,000
But you know as well as I do, there's not a sandwich in America that'll last 40 days.

190
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Even without the mayonnaise and the mustard, it's just not going to make it.

191
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:02,000
You can pinch it, but it ain't going to last 40 days and 49.

192
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:11,000
So you want to recognize that some journeys are extremely huge.

193
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Some journeys are beyond our imagination.

194
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Some journeys to the wilderness we might get a hint.

195
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Holy Spirit may tap you on the shoulders and say, I'm getting ready to do some things in your life.

196
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
I'm getting ready to move some things in your spirit.

197
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000
I'm getting ready to change some things around.

198
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
And you've got to go with who leads you.

199
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000
The Holy Spirit is an awesome leader.

200
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Now I've seen some wilderness experiences that don't include being led by the Holy Spirit.

201
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Being led by the one and only, the comforter of all comforters.

202
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,000
You can go into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights knowing that a miracle is forthcoming.

203
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
You can pinch off that man on bread and know that you can make it.

204
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
You can say whatever's in me, you'll make it work.

205
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
You can say to the situation, oh no. Oh no.

206
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Kiss me if you want to, but I'll worship the Lord I love.

207
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I serve a risen Savior and I take my bath fast.

208
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Because I never know when I'm going to be called.

209
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Have you been on a wilderness journey lately?

210
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,000
As you're carrying stuff that doesn't even need to be on the journey.

211
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000
You can carry a bag and think that you have all that you need.

212
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
And you'll leave it on your kitchen table.

213
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,000
And next thing you know you'll be in a wilderness experience because he told you he was taking you there.

214
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
40 days and 40 nights.

215
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
In this Lenten season we are in 40 days and 40 nights.

216
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
We are in a time period of change.

217
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
We're in a time period of transformation.

218
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000
We heard some testimony during the Lenten prayer service where people say,

219
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
I don't know what's going on in my life, but people have seen a change in me.

220
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
They looked at my eyes and they looked new.

221
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
They looked at my walk and they did too.

222
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Oh, there's a transformation coming.

223
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:30,000
And wilderness experiences are the miracle time period.

224
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
I love my God.

225
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
And I know you love the Lord your God too.

226
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000
So let us not be afraid of the wilderness.

227
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Because when the Lord leads us, when the Holy Spirit takes us in, He's going to bring us out.

228
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
That's the good news.

229
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:59,000
That you may fret and you may be undernourished, you may be hungry, but God is a good God.

230
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
And He will fill you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet.

231
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000
He won't worry about if you left your bag on the kitchen table.

232
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
He won't worry about if you had what you needed,

233
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
because He'll give you what you need to sustain yourself.

234
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Our God is an awesome God.

235
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,000
So I say to you, when the tempter comes, what will you say?

236
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,000
When the Holy Spirit says it's wilderness time, will you go?

237
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Don't worry about if your cell phone doesn't work,

238
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:41,000
because what you need to hear won't come through the cell phone.

239
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
It's all right to be in the wilderness and be quiet,

240
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:52,000
but it's even greater to know that the Lord thy God through the Holy Spirit is taking you to a place

241
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:59,000
to transform your soul, renew your heart, give you mercy and grace above all that you can imagine,

242
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
and bring you out a brand new creature.

243
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000
You are an awesome person, and God has said this day,

244
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
if you're in the wilderness, I know where you are.

245
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,000
If you're standing on the court and you ain't been saved yet, I know where you are.

246
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
If your heart is hurting, I know where you are.

247
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000
If your situation is upside down and you want to turn around, I know where you are.

248
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
All but a mighty God we have.

249
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:35,000
And even He was gifted and He came through in a mighty way, and because He did,

250
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
He's given that to us.

251
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Will you receive your blessing when your wilderness experience is over?

252
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Walk this journey shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, reach forever,

253
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,000
because if I'm in the wilderness and you're a part of the kingdom, you might be there with me.

254
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
But I say to you this morning, don't be fooled by the tempter,

255
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:10,000
because the tempter can give you what the Lord has for you.

256
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
May the Lord add a blessing to the hearing, a reading of His greatest and wonderful word.

257
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Will you stand with me this morning as we sing our hymn of praise

258
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
every time I feel the Spirit on page 404? Amen?

259
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

260
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
The doors of the church are open.

261
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
I'm coming out to the wilderness.

262
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
He sent me to say, it's all right.

263
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Don't worry that you don't have a white colored bag,

264
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
and that you don't have a thermal spot on your backpack,

265
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
because He's going to cover you with everything that He has.

266
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Drop your bags at the side.

267
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Be who God has called you to be.

268
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,000
If you want a relationship with Jesus Christ, the day is the day.

269
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Every time.

270
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Hallelujah! The doors of the church are open.

271
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Will you come? Renew your relationship with Jesus Christ.

272
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,000
This is your day.

273
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Awesome day. Awesome day in the Lord.

274
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:34,000
He's on a journey.
