00:00:31.878 --> 00:00:35.499
Welcome to the Reflective Spaces Ministry

00:00:35.558 --> 00:00:36.759
Podcast.

00:00:37.238 --> 00:00:39.179
I'm Tammy Toney-Butler,

00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:41.799
evangelist and author.

00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.301
Welcome, welcome, welcome.

00:00:45.081 --> 00:00:45.540
Today,

00:00:45.581 --> 00:00:48.081
Father wanted me to come on and do

00:00:48.442 --> 00:00:52.002
a teaching, a little sermon.

00:00:53.262 --> 00:00:53.982
I'm obeying.

00:00:54.143 --> 00:00:55.082
That's all I can say.

00:00:55.162 --> 00:00:57.643
I'm coming on and speaking to you.

00:00:58.043 --> 00:00:59.704
And he wanted it to be

00:01:01.164 --> 00:01:06.965
about grounding love in a chaotic world

00:01:07.885 --> 00:01:14.388
grounding love in a chaotic world wow

00:01:14.447 --> 00:01:18.069
grounding love in a chaotic world and when

00:01:18.088 --> 00:01:21.870
we look at the definition of chaotic

00:01:22.966 --> 00:01:25.891
Chaotic means completely out of control,

00:01:26.490 --> 00:01:30.996
disorganized or unpredictable.

00:01:32.237 --> 00:01:34.900
And disordered is a state of total

00:01:35.542 --> 00:01:38.546
confusion and lack of order.

00:01:40.210 --> 00:01:42.772
Unpredictable is small changes in the

00:01:42.793 --> 00:01:44.853
beginning leading to massive and

00:01:45.013 --> 00:01:47.256
unexpected results.

00:01:47.615 --> 00:01:50.058
Now I was reading that from the Google

00:01:50.498 --> 00:01:54.581
search engine and from the dictionary,

00:01:54.620 --> 00:01:58.043
Webster's dictionary.

00:01:58.102 --> 00:02:01.825
So I wanted to define chaotic.

00:02:02.206 --> 00:02:03.846
So let's look at that again.

00:02:03.966 --> 00:02:08.210
Grounding love in a chaotic world.

00:02:10.088 --> 00:02:10.969
Let's pray,

00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:13.111
and then we're going to get into the

00:02:13.171 --> 00:02:16.794
teaching that he has for you today.

00:02:16.835 --> 00:02:19.176
Holy Spirit,

00:02:19.197 --> 00:02:22.620
come have your way in this time that

00:02:22.659 --> 00:02:23.640
we have together.

00:02:24.661 --> 00:02:25.983
May they hear you and not me,

00:02:26.062 --> 00:02:27.183
see you and not me.

00:02:27.544 --> 00:02:28.544
May they glean.

00:02:29.858 --> 00:02:31.998
from your field of knowledge.

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.161
May we have spiritual ears to hear and

00:02:35.461 --> 00:02:37.383
eyes to see what it is that you

00:02:37.443 --> 00:02:40.324
have for us, that we have understanding,

00:02:40.405 --> 00:02:42.906
wisdom, that we have revelation,

00:02:43.306 --> 00:02:44.948
knowledge, O God,

00:02:45.247 --> 00:02:47.549
that we are aware of heavenly things,

00:02:47.709 --> 00:02:51.352
O God, that we're not carnally minded,

00:02:51.431 --> 00:02:51.692
O God,

00:02:52.810 --> 00:02:54.790
but that we have the heart and mind

00:02:54.811 --> 00:02:55.692
of Christ,

00:02:56.111 --> 00:02:58.293
that we have the heart of God,

00:02:58.332 --> 00:03:00.074
that we know the will of God,

00:03:00.594 --> 00:03:03.657
that we surrender to the will of God

00:03:03.697 --> 00:03:04.637
for our lives.

00:03:05.258 --> 00:03:06.818
And follow not this world,

00:03:07.618 --> 00:03:08.860
for we are in this world,

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.221
but not of this world.

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:11.481
Help us.

00:03:12.368 --> 00:03:15.411
to surrender and be led by your voice,

00:03:15.450 --> 00:03:16.350
Holy Spirit.

00:03:16.812 --> 00:03:20.674
Be spirit-led beings under the command of

00:03:20.713 --> 00:03:23.175
our commander-in-chief and our king,

00:03:24.015 --> 00:03:25.896
Lord Jesus Christ.

00:03:27.117 --> 00:03:27.837
And remember,

00:03:28.598 --> 00:03:35.081
Christ came to reveal the Father.

00:03:36.902 --> 00:03:39.525
Help us be about

00:03:42.383 --> 00:03:45.824
Father's will this season and the kingdom

00:03:45.865 --> 00:03:48.586
of God being established on earth as it

00:03:48.626 --> 00:03:49.286
is in heaven.

00:03:50.026 --> 00:03:51.187
Help us, Holy Spirit.

00:03:52.068 --> 00:03:55.209
We ask all these things in the name

00:03:55.808 --> 00:03:57.349
of Lord Jesus Christ.

00:03:57.770 --> 00:04:00.991
We declare all things.

00:04:01.012 --> 00:04:03.652
Bring us into clarity where there's been

00:04:03.712 --> 00:04:04.533
confusion.

00:04:05.114 --> 00:04:07.194
Silence the voice of the enemy.

00:04:11.084 --> 00:04:13.125
Bring order where there was chaos.

00:04:14.945 --> 00:04:16.286
Bring us into alignment.

00:04:17.867 --> 00:04:20.307
Strengthen us, guide us, keep us.

00:04:21.148 --> 00:04:22.889
In the powerful name of Jesus,

00:04:23.689 --> 00:04:25.370
we pray and declare all things.

00:04:26.230 --> 00:04:31.831
Amen.

00:04:31.851 --> 00:04:35.853
Being grounded in love.

00:04:36.634 --> 00:04:39.154
Grounding love in a chaotic world.

00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:47.072
Christ came to give us abundant life.

00:04:50.194 --> 00:04:56.579
He grounded us in scripture by becoming

00:04:57.740 --> 00:04:58.761
the living word.

00:05:00.762 --> 00:05:02.283
He walked among us.

00:05:03.624 --> 00:05:04.944
He was the living word.

00:05:06.326 --> 00:05:08.047
He died on the cross.

00:05:09.447 --> 00:05:12.870
He rose again, seated in heavenly places.

00:05:16.129 --> 00:05:19.370
so that we could be reconciled to God,

00:05:20.529 --> 00:05:22.230
not separated by a veil,

00:05:23.451 --> 00:05:25.232
but in close relationship,

00:05:25.312 --> 00:05:28.572
walking in the cool of the garden with

00:05:28.612 --> 00:05:29.353
our Father,

00:05:30.913 --> 00:05:32.434
knowing the heart of our Father,

00:05:33.615 --> 00:05:34.475
knowing His will,

00:05:34.855 --> 00:05:38.096
praying in alignment with His will because

00:05:38.115 --> 00:05:39.396
we're so close to Him,

00:05:41.476 --> 00:05:43.677
following the commandment that Jesus gave

00:05:43.778 --> 00:05:43.918
us,

00:05:45.690 --> 00:05:48.632
that the greatest thing we can do is

00:05:48.733 --> 00:05:50.494
love God with all our heart,

00:05:52.274 --> 00:05:53.115
all our mind,

00:05:53.175 --> 00:05:54.817
not lean on our own understanding.

00:05:56.437 --> 00:05:57.338
In all our ways,

00:05:57.379 --> 00:06:00.581
acknowledge God and love our neighbor as

00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:01.281
ourself.

00:06:02.442 --> 00:06:07.564
Jesus came and everything he did for us

00:06:08.365 --> 00:06:13.569
showed love, a grounding love.

00:06:14.723 --> 00:06:16.985
A love built on the foundation, the rock.

00:06:17.985 --> 00:06:20.745
A love from our Father, Abba Father,

00:06:20.766 --> 00:06:22.446
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

00:06:22.466 --> 00:06:24.427
the God of our precious Lord Jesus that

00:06:24.487 --> 00:06:26.846
did not even spare his own son,

00:06:27.728 --> 00:06:29.548
but he sent him to die.

00:06:30.767 --> 00:06:33.108
The death of a criminal on a cross,

00:06:34.569 --> 00:06:35.610
beaten, battered,

00:06:35.689 --> 00:06:38.750
bruised by his thirty-nine strikes.

00:06:39.531 --> 00:06:41.331
We find our healing.

00:06:42.771 --> 00:06:43.812
He overcame death.

00:06:44.901 --> 00:06:46.122
so that we could have life.

00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:49.903
And Jesus loved us so much that he

00:06:49.944 --> 00:06:52.146
was obedient to the will of the father

00:06:52.165 --> 00:06:53.906
because he was only about the father's

00:06:53.966 --> 00:06:54.507
business.

00:06:55.247 --> 00:06:56.928
And if you want to know the father,

00:06:56.968 --> 00:06:59.711
you got to go through the son and

00:06:59.750 --> 00:07:02.312
you've got to go through the pathway,

00:07:02.593 --> 00:07:04.735
the cross, understanding the cross,

00:07:05.055 --> 00:07:06.315
understanding the gospel,

00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:07.737
understanding the truth,

00:07:08.536 --> 00:07:10.278
knowing the gospel of love.

00:07:10.978 --> 00:07:12.379
You don't have to do anything.

00:07:13.697 --> 00:07:16.338
to earn salvation.

00:07:16.418 --> 00:07:18.480
It is freely given by the work done

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:19.721
on the cross.

00:07:20.461 --> 00:07:22.023
You don't have to have it all together.

00:07:22.062 --> 00:07:23.845
You don't have to be all cleaned up.

00:07:24.245 --> 00:07:27.286
You don't have to be all cleaned up

00:07:27.326 --> 00:07:31.310
to come and seek the healing power of

00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:36.694
the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:07:36.774 --> 00:07:39.076
A freedom that comes through His love.

00:07:40.956 --> 00:07:42.778
The moment you believe on the Lord Jesus

00:07:42.838 --> 00:07:43.278
Christ,

00:07:45.956 --> 00:07:47.937
And profess him,

00:07:47.978 --> 00:07:50.459
confess him out of your mouth that he

00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:51.641
is Lord and Savior,

00:07:52.302 --> 00:07:53.463
that he was a son of God,

00:07:53.523 --> 00:07:54.663
born to the Virgin Mary,

00:07:54.723 --> 00:07:56.665
died on the cross, rose again,

00:07:57.005 --> 00:07:58.286
seated in heavenly places.

00:07:58.326 --> 00:07:59.348
He overcome death.

00:08:00.509 --> 00:08:03.170
When you confess with your mouth that you

00:08:03.211 --> 00:08:04.591
want him to be Lord and Savior of

00:08:04.612 --> 00:08:05.033
your life,

00:08:05.052 --> 00:08:06.834
you want to come under the Lordship,

00:08:07.194 --> 00:08:08.636
come into the kingdom of God,

00:08:08.995 --> 00:08:09.997
into the kingdom of heaven.

00:08:12.014 --> 00:08:14.814
You confess Jesus and you know Jesus and

00:08:14.855 --> 00:08:17.697
you know fully God, fully man.

00:08:17.737 --> 00:08:18.997
You know it in your heart.

00:08:19.757 --> 00:08:21.437
You're saved.

00:08:21.478 --> 00:08:23.439
You become part of a spiritual family.

00:08:23.678 --> 00:08:24.899
You're no longer rejected.

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:25.879
You're not alone.

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.081
You're worthy.

00:08:28.541 --> 00:08:29.401
You're full.

00:08:30.122 --> 00:08:32.143
You're seated in heavenly places in Christ

00:08:32.182 --> 00:08:32.764
Jesus.

00:08:33.884 --> 00:08:36.004
And when you believe by faith on Jesus

00:08:36.044 --> 00:08:38.645
and then you believe that the spirit of

00:08:38.725 --> 00:08:40.047
Christ is in you,

00:08:41.288 --> 00:08:43.087
The Holy Spirit's in you and you say,

00:08:43.148 --> 00:08:44.548
Holy Spirit, live inside of me.

00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:45.889
Make me fresh and new.

00:08:46.288 --> 00:08:50.690
Give me the heart and mind of Jesus.

00:08:51.409 --> 00:08:52.830
Help me to know God's will.

00:08:53.750 --> 00:08:55.091
Help me to know God's will.

00:08:55.150 --> 00:08:57.030
Transform me layer by layer.

00:08:57.971 --> 00:09:00.711
And when you pray those bold prayers,

00:09:01.591 --> 00:09:03.172
you're going to step into the fullness of

00:09:03.211 --> 00:09:06.173
what God has for you because you're going

00:09:06.212 --> 00:09:09.693
to long to be in right standing with

00:09:09.754 --> 00:09:10.053
God.

00:09:10.924 --> 00:09:13.427
You're going to hunger and thirst for God,

00:09:13.547 --> 00:09:15.389
hunger and thirst for righteousness,

00:09:15.729 --> 00:09:16.629
and you'll be filled.

00:09:16.909 --> 00:09:18.991
You're going to want the things of heaven,

00:09:19.251 --> 00:09:21.273
the things of the kingdom of God.

00:09:21.514 --> 00:09:24.196
You're going to loose yourself from the

00:09:24.255 --> 00:09:27.778
God of this world, Satan and his devices.

00:09:28.078 --> 00:09:30.860
And you're going to come into alignment

00:09:31.782 --> 00:09:33.643
with what God says about you,

00:09:33.743 --> 00:09:35.264
who God says you are.

00:09:35.565 --> 00:09:37.385
You're going to step into the fullness of

00:09:37.446 --> 00:09:38.947
what God has for you.

00:09:39.758 --> 00:09:40.759
when you believe it,

00:09:40.999 --> 00:09:43.279
and you are going to be so grounded

00:09:43.681 --> 00:09:48.023
in the love of Christ that you'll never,

00:09:48.123 --> 00:09:49.083
ever be the same.

00:09:50.684 --> 00:09:52.306
Grounded by that love,

00:09:52.566 --> 00:09:55.648
the love that the scriptures talk about.

00:09:56.129 --> 00:09:58.090
Jesus was the living word.

00:09:58.330 --> 00:10:03.933
He came to show you father and father's

00:10:04.014 --> 00:10:05.114
love for his sheep.

00:10:05.413 --> 00:10:07.375
My sheep know my voice and they follow

00:10:07.416 --> 00:10:07.535
me.

00:10:09.264 --> 00:10:10.605
He became the living word.

00:10:10.625 --> 00:10:13.145
So we had an example of what to

00:10:13.225 --> 00:10:15.326
follow, what to mirror,

00:10:15.947 --> 00:10:20.469
how to show his love and his light

00:10:20.489 --> 00:10:21.688
of truth to others.

00:10:22.450 --> 00:10:25.750
And that starts by being spiritually

00:10:25.831 --> 00:10:26.291
minded,

00:10:26.370 --> 00:10:28.152
knowing the heart and mind of Christ,

00:10:28.792 --> 00:10:30.052
coming out of the world,

00:10:30.113 --> 00:10:32.453
out of the world system, the world's ways.

00:10:33.381 --> 00:10:35.323
and allowing the Spirit of God,

00:10:35.344 --> 00:10:36.806
the Spirit of Christ that lives in you

00:10:36.826 --> 00:10:38.528
to transform you layer by layer,

00:10:38.788 --> 00:10:44.835
the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost.

00:10:44.875 --> 00:10:46.878
Let's look at Scripture now to guide us.

00:10:46.918 --> 00:10:47.918
Thank you, Holy Spirit.

00:10:49.400 --> 00:10:50.761
Let's look at Ephesians

00:10:53.902 --> 00:10:54.763
I'm going to read it out of the

00:10:54.863 --> 00:10:55.884
Amplified.

00:10:56.524 --> 00:10:58.407
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts

00:10:58.427 --> 00:11:00.448
through your faith, and may you,

00:11:00.548 --> 00:11:03.711
having been deeply rooted and securely

00:11:03.772 --> 00:11:06.835
grounded in love.

00:11:07.615 --> 00:11:11.239
Securely grounded in love.

00:11:11.779 --> 00:11:14.842
Securely grounded in love.

00:11:14.863 --> 00:11:15.383
Wow.

00:11:15.403 --> 00:11:15.462
Wow.

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:22.662
let's look at the esv so that christ

00:11:22.701 --> 00:11:24.783
may dwell in your hearts through faith

00:11:25.203 --> 00:11:29.605
that you being rooted and grounded in love

00:11:30.066 --> 00:11:32.687
see that grounded in love let's look at

00:11:32.746 --> 00:11:36.089
first john four sixteen of the niv and

00:11:36.168 --> 00:11:39.129
so we know and rely on the love

00:11:39.169 --> 00:11:42.591
god has for us god is love whoever

00:11:42.812 --> 00:11:46.573
lives in love lives in god

00:11:47.153 --> 00:11:49.095
and God in them.

00:11:49.735 --> 00:11:50.294
Wow.

00:11:50.875 --> 00:11:51.796
Let me read it again.

00:11:52.275 --> 00:11:54.956
And so we know and rely on the

00:11:55.017 --> 00:11:56.376
love God has for us.

00:11:56.537 --> 00:11:57.778
God is love.

00:11:58.158 --> 00:12:00.678
Whoever lives in love lives in God and

00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.259
God in them.

00:12:02.859 --> 00:12:04.919
Let's look at that out of the Amplified.

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.600
Let's go to the Amplified.

00:12:07.380 --> 00:12:10.142
I think it makes it also just easier.

00:12:11.481 --> 00:12:12.682
So again, first John four,

00:12:12.721 --> 00:12:14.143
sixteen out of the Amplified Bible.

00:12:14.826 --> 00:12:18.548
We have come to know by personal

00:12:18.708 --> 00:12:20.971
observation and experience,

00:12:21.010 --> 00:12:22.451
experiential knowledge,

00:12:22.831 --> 00:12:24.513
and have believed with deep,

00:12:24.552 --> 00:12:27.575
consistent faith the love which God has

00:12:27.615 --> 00:12:27.934
for us.

00:12:28.054 --> 00:12:29.355
God is love,

00:12:29.456 --> 00:12:33.457
and the one who abides in love abides

00:12:33.597 --> 00:12:40.442
in God, and God abides continually in him.

00:12:41.222 --> 00:12:44.544
It's an abiding love, a grounding love.

00:12:46.072 --> 00:12:50.153
Let's look at Romans five, Romans five.

00:12:50.173 --> 00:12:51.972
I'm gonna go down to eight.

00:12:52.572 --> 00:12:55.494
But God demonstrates his own love for us

00:12:55.614 --> 00:12:56.173
in this.

00:12:56.793 --> 00:12:59.014
While we were still sinners,

00:12:59.634 --> 00:13:04.034
Christ died for us.

00:13:04.195 --> 00:13:04.715
Wow.

00:13:06.216 --> 00:13:09.655
But God demonstrates his own love for us

00:13:09.716 --> 00:13:10.035
in this.

00:13:10.115 --> 00:13:11.496
While we were still sinners,

00:13:11.557 --> 00:13:13.136
Christ died for us.

00:13:14.442 --> 00:13:16.686
Since we have now been justified by his

00:13:16.725 --> 00:13:17.126
blood,

00:13:17.427 --> 00:13:19.389
how much more shall we be saved from

00:13:19.448 --> 00:13:22.013
God's wrath through him?

00:13:22.033 --> 00:13:23.774
For if while we were God's enemies,

00:13:23.794 --> 00:13:26.457
we were reconciled to him through the

00:13:26.518 --> 00:13:27.379
death of his son,

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:30.182
how much more having been reconciled shall

00:13:30.202 --> 00:13:32.125
we be saved through his life?

00:13:32.686 --> 00:13:34.125
Not only is this so,

00:13:34.405 --> 00:13:36.326
but we also boast in God through our

00:13:36.346 --> 00:13:37.486
Lord Jesus Christ,

00:13:37.826 --> 00:13:40.067
through whom we have now received

00:13:40.347 --> 00:13:41.988
reconciliation.

00:13:42.028 --> 00:13:42.827
Look at that.

00:13:43.288 --> 00:13:44.769
The veil was torn.

00:13:45.089 --> 00:13:46.928
We're reconciled to God.

00:13:47.470 --> 00:13:49.590
And now look at Colossians two,

00:13:49.710 --> 00:13:50.669
six to seven.

00:13:52.571 --> 00:13:53.610
Six to seven.

00:13:55.981 --> 00:13:58.482
So then just as you receive Christ Jesus

00:13:58.543 --> 00:13:59.043
as Lord,

00:13:59.123 --> 00:14:00.883
continue to live your lives in Him,

00:14:00.982 --> 00:14:03.683
rooted and built up in Him,

00:14:04.403 --> 00:14:06.323
strengthened in the faith as you were

00:14:06.384 --> 00:14:11.125
taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

00:14:11.845 --> 00:14:15.265
Overflowing with thankfulness.

00:14:15.566 --> 00:14:17.186
Let me look at this out of the

00:14:17.285 --> 00:14:18.866
Amplified.

00:14:18.986 --> 00:14:19.947
I hear you, Holy Spirit.

00:14:19.986 --> 00:14:20.307
Thank you.

00:14:24.129 --> 00:14:24.870
Let's go.

00:14:24.890 --> 00:14:25.451
Therefore,

00:14:25.471 --> 00:14:26.951
as you have received Christ Jesus,

00:14:26.991 --> 00:14:30.192
the Lord, walk in union with him,

00:14:30.712 --> 00:14:34.475
reflecting his character in the things you

00:14:34.534 --> 00:14:35.495
do and say,

00:14:35.995 --> 00:14:38.956
living lives that lead others away from

00:14:39.057 --> 00:14:39.417
sin,

00:14:39.956 --> 00:14:43.099
having been deeply rooted in him and now

00:14:43.158 --> 00:14:45.559
being continually built up in him.

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.443
becoming increasingly more established in

00:14:49.524 --> 00:14:50.284
your faith,

00:14:50.845 --> 00:14:54.448
just as you were taught and overflowing in

00:14:54.789 --> 00:15:00.096
it with gratitude, with gratitude.

00:15:01.096 --> 00:15:04.821
So remember being grounded in love in a

00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:06.222
chaotic world.

00:15:07.495 --> 00:15:10.996
growing in love, being rooted in Christ,

00:15:11.437 --> 00:15:13.557
rooted in the promises found in God's

00:15:13.597 --> 00:15:17.561
word, not overcome by feelings,

00:15:18.020 --> 00:15:19.902
not affected by feelings,

00:15:20.282 --> 00:15:22.923
going by faith and not by feelings,

00:15:23.364 --> 00:15:25.544
going by faith and not fear.

00:15:25.924 --> 00:15:28.986
We have power, love, and a sound mind.

00:15:29.067 --> 00:15:31.028
We don't cater to fear.

00:15:31.767 --> 00:15:34.431
We have the victory in Christ Jesus.

00:15:34.490 --> 00:15:35.993
It's already finished.

00:15:36.533 --> 00:15:38.216
We just have to believe it, receive it,

00:15:38.235 --> 00:15:38.956
and become it.

00:15:39.378 --> 00:15:41.200
We have to be led by the Spirit

00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:41.760
of God.

00:15:42.042 --> 00:15:43.803
We have to walk in His truth,

00:15:44.144 --> 00:15:46.287
walk out the promises He has for us.

00:15:46.687 --> 00:15:48.610
We have to show His love.

00:15:48.990 --> 00:15:51.092
and his light to a dark and dying

00:15:51.133 --> 00:15:51.633
world.

00:15:51.932 --> 00:15:53.754
It is love that transforms.

00:15:54.033 --> 00:15:55.514
It is love that heals.

00:15:55.816 --> 00:15:59.018
It is love that breaks the oppressed free.

00:15:59.337 --> 00:16:01.479
It is love that breaks the yoke of

00:16:01.538 --> 00:16:03.321
bondage off God's people.

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:05.381
It is love that transforms.

00:16:05.642 --> 00:16:07.182
It is love that redeems.

00:16:07.462 --> 00:16:09.004
It is love that restores.

00:16:09.284 --> 00:16:10.686
It is love that heals.

00:16:10.985 --> 00:16:12.586
It is love that loosens.

00:16:12.866 --> 00:16:14.388
It is love that loosens.

00:16:14.607 --> 00:16:16.009
You're no longer bound.

00:16:16.249 --> 00:16:16.870
You're loosed.

00:16:16.909 --> 00:16:18.750
You're no longer bound but free.

00:16:19.130 --> 00:16:21.530
He who the Son sets free is free

00:16:21.731 --> 00:16:22.351
indeed.

00:16:22.672 --> 00:16:23.831
You are free.

00:16:24.272 --> 00:16:24.692
Say it.

00:16:25.192 --> 00:16:26.032
I am free.

00:16:26.631 --> 00:16:27.513
I am free.

00:16:27.952 --> 00:16:29.253
I am free.

00:16:30.413 --> 00:16:31.592
You are free.

00:16:32.753 --> 00:16:33.754
You are free.

00:16:34.014 --> 00:16:34.653
You're free.

00:16:36.494 --> 00:16:38.995
Where the Spirit of the Lord is,

00:16:40.534 --> 00:16:42.075
where His presence dwells,

00:16:42.134 --> 00:16:44.576
there is freedom.

00:16:44.596 --> 00:16:45.395
There is freedom.

00:16:45.436 --> 00:16:46.255
There is rest.

00:16:47.330 --> 00:16:48.690
spiritual obedience.

00:16:49.549 --> 00:16:51.890
There is rest in being led by God.

00:16:53.431 --> 00:16:55.692
And even though you're in a chaotic world,

00:16:56.711 --> 00:16:59.692
you can be full of peace and joy

00:17:00.253 --> 00:17:03.552
and a knowing of which way to go.

00:17:04.173 --> 00:17:06.213
That comes through relationship.

00:17:06.794 --> 00:17:08.954
That comes from you knowing the heart of

00:17:09.055 --> 00:17:10.894
God, which is love.

00:17:11.855 --> 00:17:12.595
Love.

00:17:13.516 --> 00:17:14.895
Agape love.

00:17:14.955 --> 00:17:15.296
Love.

00:17:16.549 --> 00:17:17.690
He loved us so much.

00:17:17.730 --> 00:17:19.570
He sent Jesus to die for us.

00:17:19.631 --> 00:17:22.051
And Jesus loved us so much that he

00:17:22.092 --> 00:17:22.872
said, yes,

00:17:23.771 --> 00:17:28.354
and you're part of a kingdom where love

00:17:29.554 --> 00:17:32.035
is the grounding truth,

00:17:33.635 --> 00:17:35.296
rooted and grounded in love,

00:17:36.576 --> 00:17:41.377
branching out and off to establish a tree

00:17:41.417 --> 00:17:43.398
of righteousness in the hearts of God's

00:17:43.439 --> 00:17:43.818
people.

00:17:45.834 --> 00:17:47.234
We are united as one,

00:17:47.974 --> 00:17:49.895
showing his love off to a world.

00:17:50.635 --> 00:17:54.636
And it's love that's going to transform a

00:17:54.737 --> 00:17:56.758
nation and a world.

00:17:57.919 --> 00:18:00.640
And I invite you to know that Jesus

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.059
today.

00:18:02.099 --> 00:18:03.641
Make him Lord and Savior of your life

00:18:03.661 --> 00:18:04.461
if you don't know him.

00:18:05.501 --> 00:18:07.261
If you don't know him and you want

00:18:07.301 --> 00:18:08.323
to and you want to be a part

00:18:08.343 --> 00:18:09.242
of the kingdom of God.

00:18:11.532 --> 00:18:13.153
You don't have to have it all together.

00:18:13.193 --> 00:18:14.994
You don't have to be all cleaned up.

00:18:15.516 --> 00:18:17.696
You need the spirit of God,

00:18:17.737 --> 00:18:20.138
the spirit of Christ, the spirit of Jesus,

00:18:20.179 --> 00:18:23.221
the Holy Spirit that lives to come live

00:18:23.260 --> 00:18:25.282
inside of you and transform you layer by

00:18:25.383 --> 00:18:25.803
layer.

00:18:26.123 --> 00:18:28.164
It's in his strength we overcome.

00:18:28.484 --> 00:18:31.386
It's with his power we overcome addiction.

00:18:31.646 --> 00:18:33.567
We overcome lustful desires.

00:18:33.607 --> 00:18:35.670
We overcome the things of the world.

00:18:36.150 --> 00:18:39.291
We overcome and are shaped and molded and

00:18:39.332 --> 00:18:40.153
matured.

00:18:40.919 --> 00:18:43.401
from milk to meat by believing on the

00:18:43.441 --> 00:18:45.862
Lord Jesus Christ through faith,

00:18:46.363 --> 00:18:51.066
confessing it with our mouth and asking

00:18:51.105 --> 00:18:54.188
his spirit to dwell inside us to make

00:18:54.248 --> 00:18:55.228
us fresh and new.

00:18:56.169 --> 00:18:56.930
And when you do that,

00:18:56.950 --> 00:19:00.311
and when you pray that prayer and believe

00:19:01.813 --> 00:19:05.355
on Lord Jesus and confess in your mouth

00:19:05.394 --> 00:19:07.415
that he died, that he rose again,

00:19:07.477 --> 00:19:08.817
he's fully God, fully man,

00:19:08.836 --> 00:19:09.657
was a son of God.

00:19:13.544 --> 00:19:15.444
then you're saved as you confess that with

00:19:15.484 --> 00:19:15.965
your mouth.

00:19:16.006 --> 00:19:17.346
And you're now part of the kingdom of

00:19:17.406 --> 00:19:17.846
God.

00:19:18.586 --> 00:19:20.588
And you have access to his Holy Spirit.

00:19:21.189 --> 00:19:22.690
And you say, Holy Spirit, live in me,

00:19:22.730 --> 00:19:24.411
dwell in me, make me fresh and new.

00:19:24.852 --> 00:19:26.313

00:19:34.018 --> 00:19:35.519
of bitterness, of hate, of anger.

00:19:35.578 --> 00:19:36.900
Help me, help me, help me, Holy Spirit.

00:19:38.228 --> 00:19:39.689

00:19:43.069 --> 00:19:43.690

00:19:49.531 --> 00:19:50.432
I need you with me.

00:19:51.573 --> 00:19:52.452
I need you with me.

00:19:53.492 --> 00:19:54.733
And I know you're with me with this

00:19:54.814 --> 00:19:55.253
prayer.

00:19:56.294 --> 00:19:57.173
And I thank you.

I thank you, God, that with this prayer,

00:20:05.083 --> 00:20:06.163
I know he's inside of me,

00:20:06.202 --> 00:20:06.923
guiding me now.

00:20:07.243 --> 00:20:08.944
I thank you, Jesus, for your yes.

00:20:09.305 --> 00:20:10.165

00:20:11.747 --> 00:20:12.646
I thank you, God.

00:20:12.928 --> 00:20:13.788
I thank you, God.

00:20:14.067 --> 00:20:14.888

00:20:27.576 --> 00:20:28.196
Strengthen me.

00:20:33.362 --> 00:20:35.563
And one moment in his presence changes

00:20:35.663 --> 00:20:36.242
everything.

00:20:36.702 --> 00:20:37.782

00:21:00.679 --> 00:21:02.699
others with the light and truth and love

00:21:02.719 --> 00:21:04.099

00:21:19.021 --> 00:21:21.623
of God as you step out and into

00:21:21.682 --> 00:21:23.083
all he has for you this season.

00:21:24.324 --> 00:21:28.788
Go and become all he has for you.

Sit in that peace that surpasses all

00:21:57.233 --> 00:22:00.096
understanding as the kingdom of heaven

00:22:00.136 --> 00:22:05.922

Let it burn away the lies of the

00:22:46.387 --> 00:22:50.450
enemy and you step out emboldened

00:22:51.723 --> 00:22:53.645
by the power and truth of the gospel

00:22:53.665 --> 00:22:54.928

And that's what he has for you today,
