1 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,600 And I love you. 2 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,960 I'm a say it up front. 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,720 But I love you so much that I've got to deliver this message. 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,040 And we are going to talk about a wholehearted walk. 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,200 A wholehearted walk. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,880 And you know, as Christians, we hear those words wholeheartedly. 7 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040 We're like, oh, yeah, okay, this is a good word and things of 8 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,560 that nature. 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,740 But do we really know what it means to be wholehearted? 10 00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:35,220 I'll tell you what. 11 00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:38,740 During this week, as I was preparing for this word, I didn't 12 00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:41,820 know, I realized I didn't know what it meant to be wholehearted. 13 00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:45,580 And so I'm ready to deliver this word. 14 00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:47,660 And my question is, are you ready? 15 00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:50,220 All right, that was two people. 16 00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:50,580 Thank you. 17 00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:51,460 I'm so proud for you. 18 00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:52,220 Thank you, Nadab. 19 00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:52,940 I appreciate you. 20 00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:54,700 Thank you, Chilliwack Canada. 21 00:00:54,940 --> 00:00:56,300 I really appreciate you. 22 00:00:56,540 --> 00:01:00,220 However, I want everyone to be ready for this word. 23 00:01:00,220 --> 00:01:01,340 Because here's the thing. 24 00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:05,040 If I'm gonna deliver a life shifting mess, the question is, are 25 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,120 you going to receive it? 26 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,360 Okay? 27 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,320 And so I am a part of, like, I come from an educational background. 28 00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,800 Like, meaning I was in the education system working and things 29 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,400 of that nature. 30 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,920 And one of the things that I picked up from there is call and 31 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:21,560 response. 32 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,640 And so my question to you again is, are you ready to receive 33 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,200 a life shifting word? 34 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,820 All right, thank you. 35 00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:35,580 A wholehearted walk. 36 00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:39,980 I'm gonna take you through a journey of this man named Caleb, 37 00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:40,700 all right? 38 00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,180 And if for those of you that don't know Caleb, we're gonna learn 39 00:01:43,180 --> 00:01:43,900 about him today. 40 00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:49,420 And the thing is, Caleb was with the Israelites, Caleb and Joshua. 41 00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:52,540 You know, there was 12 spies, Caleb and Joshua. 42 00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:56,020 They walked through, walked in the wilderness. 43 00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:56,340 They. 44 00:01:56,340 --> 00:01:57,860 They went to spy out the land. 45 00:01:57,860 --> 00:02:00,740 Moses sent them out, and all these things happened. 46 00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:06,230 But prior to the Israelites were praying for someone to come 47 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:07,070 and deliver them. 48 00:02:07,070 --> 00:02:10,030 And then they get Moses to come and deliver them. 49 00:02:10,670 --> 00:02:16,670 And then from there, Moses walks them through the Red Sea, which 50 00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:18,030 is crazy. 51 00:02:18,109 --> 00:02:20,830 Amazing that that even happened. 52 00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:23,550 But then here's the thing. 53 00:02:23,790 --> 00:02:27,310 I believe what happened with the Israelites was they thought that 54 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:28,750 a rival was enough. 55 00:02:30,140 --> 00:02:34,620 You thought that arrival into you being a Christian is enough. 56 00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:38,860 You thought that, man, God, you answered my prayers. 57 00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:40,140 That is enough. 58 00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:43,100 You thought surviving was enough. 59 00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:48,500 You thought that living out the dreams, that some of the dreams 60 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,220 that God gave you is enough. 61 00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:53,500 But I want to let you know that arrival is not enough. 62 00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:55,900 And surviving is not inheriting. 63 00:02:57,580 --> 00:02:59,580 I want to let you know that there is more. 64 00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:01,340 There is more. 65 00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:03,340 It's not just the more of more. 66 00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:07,780 There's more for God to give you, but there's also more that you've 67 00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:10,380 got to give a wholehearted walk. 68 00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:13,740 So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to take you on a journey, 69 00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:14,940 okay? 70 00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:21,140 I'm going to give you the beginning, the end first and then 71 00:03:21,140 --> 00:03:22,180 I'm going to walk you through. 72 00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:25,860 Because here's the thing, there's restoration, that is the 73 00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:26,260 reward. 74 00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:30,340 But in order to get to restoration, you've got to walk into 75 00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:31,300 resilience. 76 00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:34,900 You've got to build the characteristic of resilience. 77 00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:40,900 But in order to get to resilience, you have to walk wholeheartedly. 78 00:03:41,380 --> 00:03:46,260 So it's wholeheartedness and then resilience, then restoration. 79 00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:50,140 So many of us are trying to fight for restoration, but we're 80 00:03:50,140 --> 00:03:52,820 not willing to live a life that's wholehearted. 81 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,080 So many of us are trying to fight for restoration, but we're 82 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,600 not willing to be resilient in the process. 83 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,520 And so, but here's the thing. 84 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:12,240 In order for you to know what it's gonna take to be resilient and 85 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,280 get to restoration, you also have to know that half heartedness 86 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,280 is the opposite of wholeheartedness. 87 00:04:20,070 --> 00:04:22,150 And you know what happens when you're half hearted? 88 00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:28,630 You end up being in a place where you're wandering. 89 00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:31,270 Anybody ever feel that, that? 90 00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:35,629 Anybody ever feel like, man, I'm just kind of like going through 91 00:04:35,629 --> 00:04:38,870 the same thing over and over and over again. 92 00:04:39,750 --> 00:04:42,470 It's the same situation, the same thing. 93 00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:46,430 You ever have a friend that you talk to and it's like, man, ain't 94 00:04:46,430 --> 00:04:50,710 we just talk about this like a month ago or maybe a year later? 95 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:54,790 Let me not give your friend that much, like slack, like not slack, 96 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:56,470 but let me not come for your friend that much. 97 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:59,510 And the friend is probably you. 98 00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:04,630 But anyway, maybe about a year, right, maybe a year later you're 99 00:05:04,630 --> 00:05:08,550 on the phone with them and you like you messing with that same guy. 100 00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:11,270 Didn't we, didn't you break up with him? 101 00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:13,110 Didn't you break up with her? 102 00:05:13,750 --> 00:05:14,550 What do you mean? 103 00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:16,860 Oh, you, you with somebody else now. 104 00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:19,900 But the characteristics sound the same, bro. 105 00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:22,220 You, you going through something, what's going on? 106 00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:26,420 And it's not just in relationships and it's in so many 107 00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:27,100 different things. 108 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:31,100 And I'm, I'm a tell on myself in a little while, so get ready for 109 00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:31,340 that. 110 00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:35,540 I felt everybody kind of lean in because they're like, oh, he about 111 00:05:35,540 --> 00:05:36,380 to give some tea. 112 00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:40,140 But half hearted, right? 113 00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:42,430 You get now, now it's half hearted. 114 00:05:42,750 --> 00:05:46,310 That half hearted walk gets you wandering, that wandering, you 115 00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:47,230 know, where it leads you. 116 00:05:48,910 --> 00:05:52,270 Not just not receiving your dreams, not just not inheriting your 117 00:05:52,270 --> 00:05:54,830 legacy, but it receives you death. 118 00:05:57,150 --> 00:05:59,670 Pastor Randall, you wilding like it's not that serious. 119 00:05:59,670 --> 00:06:00,670 Oh, yes, it is. 120 00:06:01,550 --> 00:06:02,310 Oh, yes, it is. 121 00:06:02,310 --> 00:06:02,870 And I'm going to. 122 00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:06,910 I'm going to explain to you how serious it is. 123 00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:09,950 A wholehearted walk is not about arriving. 124 00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:11,630 It's about surrendering. 125 00:06:12,030 --> 00:06:15,790 It may cost you more, but it always gives you more. 126 00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,790 It always gives you more. 127 00:06:18,030 --> 00:06:21,790 So let's define wholehearted and half hearted, okay? 128 00:06:21,950 --> 00:06:25,910 Because I want you to know what it means to be wholehearted. 129 00:06:25,910 --> 00:06:29,870 But I also want you to know what it means to also be half hearted. 130 00:06:29,950 --> 00:06:34,430 Because the thing is, if you don't know, if. 131 00:06:34,940 --> 00:06:35,700 If you want to. 132 00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:38,940 If you want to do something, you must first know what not to do. 133 00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:39,980 All right? 134 00:06:39,980 --> 00:06:44,420 So really quickly, I want you to turn to numbers, chapter 14, verse 135 00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:45,660 22 to 24. 136 00:06:46,380 --> 00:06:49,100 Numbers 14, 22 to 24. 137 00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:53,380 And once you have it, you can say amen. 138 00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:55,580 Or if you're on your way, you can say amen. 139 00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:57,580 Numbers. 140 00:06:57,580 --> 00:06:59,660 Numbers 14, 22 to 24. 141 00:07:00,230 --> 00:07:05,230 It says, not one of those who saw my glory and the signs, this 142 00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:06,470 is God speaking, okay? 143 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:08,390 And signs. 144 00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:12,990 And the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but 145 00:07:12,990 --> 00:07:18,510 who disobeyed me and tested me 10 times, not one of them will ever 146 00:07:18,510 --> 00:07:22,230 see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. 147 00:07:23,030 --> 00:07:26,950 No one has treated me with contempt will ever see it. 148 00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:33,540 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows 149 00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:39,500 me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went into, 150 00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:42,460 and his descendants will inherit it. 151 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:46,220 You know, as I was reading this just now, I just saw something. 152 00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:50,460 I will bring him into the land he went to. 153 00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:52,260 You know, there's. 154 00:07:52,260 --> 00:07:56,660 When you read Numbers and you read this scripture and you read 155 00:07:56,660 --> 00:08:00,520 like the scriptures after it, there's a part in the Scripture where 156 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,120 even after God said this out loud to the people, he said it to 157 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,400 Moses, but then Moses delivered it to the people. 158 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720 You know, the people still try to go and fight all these other people 159 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,320 and all these other tribes and things of that nature. 160 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,560 And Moses even told them, hey, God's not with you. 161 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,680 You going to lose. 162 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,920 And they ended up losing. 163 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,640 So many of us are trying to figure things out ourselves when 164 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,900 we have a God that we can lean on, so many of us, I will bring him 165 00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:34,940 into the land he went to. 166 00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:38,380 And the beautiful thing is that it's. 167 00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:41,620 After he said that Caleb has a different spirit and he follows me 168 00:08:41,620 --> 00:08:44,780 wholeheartedly that he still says, I will bring him. 169 00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:45,940 So for some of you. 170 00:08:45,940 --> 00:08:48,820 Even when you get this word today, you're still gonna think that, 171 00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:50,220 oh, there's something that I'm doing. 172 00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:52,140 No, it's not something you're doing. 173 00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:55,500 It's something that God's going to do for you and through you. 174 00:08:56,130 --> 00:08:57,250 Can you just receive it? 175 00:08:57,810 --> 00:08:59,570 Are you able to just receive it? 176 00:09:02,450 --> 00:09:06,343 And I'm going to summarize this portion, but numbers 14, 36, 177 00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:09,890 38, it goes on to explain that. 178 00:09:09,890 --> 00:09:14,570 So the men Moses had sent to explore the land, who returned and 179 00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:19,490 made the whole community grumble against him by spreading 180 00:09:19,490 --> 00:09:20,930 a bad report about it. 181 00:09:21,580 --> 00:09:25,420 These men who were responsible for spreading the bad report about 182 00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:30,460 the land were struck down and died of a plague before the Lord. 183 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:36,220 Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua, son of Nun, 184 00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:39,820 and Caleb, son of Jepunah, survived. 185 00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:42,860 Be careful who you're talking to. 186 00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:47,180 Be careful what you're talking about. 187 00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:49,650 Oh, man. 188 00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:52,890 You know, I can't believe we gotta park all the way down the block 189 00:09:53,210 --> 00:09:56,330 and then get into this shuttle and whatnot. 190 00:09:56,410 --> 00:09:57,530 Man, this is annoying. 191 00:09:57,530 --> 00:09:59,290 I can't believe that I see somebody laughing. 192 00:09:59,290 --> 00:10:01,130 Cause they probably was saying that just a moment ago. 193 00:10:01,130 --> 00:10:04,890 Don't worry, you got the ability to repent. 194 00:10:05,290 --> 00:10:05,610 Man. 195 00:10:05,610 --> 00:10:08,170 I can't believe we don't got our own building yet. 196 00:10:08,410 --> 00:10:09,370 What's happening? 197 00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:12,090 I can't believe we're still in a revival home. 198 00:10:12,250 --> 00:10:14,250 Didn't they make Jersey a revival? 199 00:10:14,250 --> 00:10:16,330 Didn't they make Jersey into a campus? 200 00:10:16,330 --> 00:10:16,770 Come on. 201 00:10:16,770 --> 00:10:18,010 I'm gonna speak to some things. 202 00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:19,750 I don't know who's saying it. 203 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:23,190 I haven't heard anything, but I told God, I'm a listen to you, 204 00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:27,110 Lord, and I'm going to speak to what it is, because listen, we've 205 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:28,470 got to talk about these things. 206 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:35,670 You see, wholehearted means full surrender, undivided devotion. 207 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:39,430 Whereas half hearted means selective obedience. 208 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:41,590 A divided loyalty. 209 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:44,150 How many parents I got in the house right now? 210 00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:49,740 How many parents actually receive? 211 00:10:50,860 --> 00:10:55,740 You hear from your children, Tell you what, Half of what you said, 212 00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:57,020 not the full thing. 213 00:10:57,820 --> 00:10:59,580 How many parents have selective. 214 00:10:59,660 --> 00:11:01,420 Have children with selective hearing? 215 00:11:03,980 --> 00:11:07,340 I'm putting all my feet up and everything because I got, you know, 216 00:11:07,660 --> 00:11:09,740 I got four kids, so I got to put everything. 217 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:11,560 My hands, my. 218 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,400 My hands, my legs and everything. 219 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,960 Selective obedience, divided loyalty. 220 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,080 Well, you know what? 221 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,600 God's a dad. 222 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,480 God's a father, and we're children. 223 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,720 How many of you guys? 224 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,920 How many of us? 225 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,000 Because I'm in this too. 226 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,480 Oh, Lord, telling you I got rocked this whole week. 227 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,640 Selective obedience. 228 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,240 Hey, God. 229 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,200 Yeah, I'm gonna do that. 230 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,080 But you know what? 231 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,040 I'M gonna do it this way. 232 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,120 Hey, God. 233 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,560 Yeah, man. 234 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,800 God, please tell me what I ought to do. 235 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,120 Okay, son, I want you to do this. 236 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,040 And then you hear him and then you're like, okay, but. 237 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,600 But what? 238 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,280 You just asked for a word, you just heard from God. 239 00:12:03,090 --> 00:12:03,330 And. 240 00:12:03,810 --> 00:12:07,570 But come on now. 241 00:12:08,050 --> 00:12:09,490 Divided loyalty. 242 00:12:10,050 --> 00:12:16,930 Is it possible that we decide to have selective obedience and divided 243 00:12:16,930 --> 00:12:21,170 loyalty because we don't truly trust God? 244 00:12:23,090 --> 00:12:24,370 Oh, we say we do. 245 00:12:24,610 --> 00:12:26,130 Oh, we sing the songs. 246 00:12:26,530 --> 00:12:30,650 You know, we all come up here, we come up onto the front, we lift 247 00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:32,410 our hands and all of this stuff. 248 00:12:32,410 --> 00:12:34,270 I told you I was going slap y' all like two times. 249 00:12:34,270 --> 00:12:35,550 I'm gonna hug y' all in a little while. 250 00:12:35,550 --> 00:12:38,910 But like, we will do it. 251 00:12:38,910 --> 00:12:42,190 But we're not willing to walk wholeheartedly. 252 00:12:42,270 --> 00:12:44,590 We're willing to do things half hearted. 253 00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:48,150 But I want you to know that that half hearted walk is going to 254 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:49,630 lead you to death. 255 00:12:50,030 --> 00:12:53,870 It's going to lead you wandering around over and over again. 256 00:12:54,910 --> 00:12:56,030 How do I know this? 257 00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:59,790 Because the consequence of half heartedness is wandering. 258 00:13:00,230 --> 00:13:02,230 In Numbers 32, Verse 13. 259 00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:07,990 In Numbers 32, Verse 13, it says, the Lord's anger burned against 260 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:14,190 Israel and he made them wander in the wilderness 40 years until 261 00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:18,110 the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was 262 00:13:18,110 --> 00:13:18,550 gone. 263 00:13:19,510 --> 00:13:19,910 What? 264 00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:22,510 Man, I'll tell you something. 265 00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:26,070 When I read that this week, I was just like, wait a minute. 266 00:13:26,690 --> 00:13:30,690 You mean to tell me this whole entire time I thought the Israelites 267 00:13:30,690 --> 00:13:34,050 were the one that just weren't listening, that just decided to go 268 00:13:34,130 --> 00:13:36,130 left when God was saying go right. 269 00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:37,770 Did I do that right? 270 00:13:37,770 --> 00:13:38,050 Right. 271 00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:42,850 Okay, and go left when God was saying go right. 272 00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:46,770 But then what was actually happening was. 273 00:13:47,410 --> 00:13:48,770 Numbers 32 13. 274 00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:50,930 Turn to it if you. 275 00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:52,050 If you don't believe me. 276 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,160 Like it says, the Lord's anger burned against Israel and he made 277 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,320 them wander in the wilderness 40 years until the whole generation 278 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,760 of those who had done evil in his sight was gone. 279 00:14:08,119 --> 00:14:10,920 We're not talking about gone into another land. 280 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,400 No, we're talking about gone into death. 281 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,520 Dang, God, I thought you were a loving God. 282 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,800 Yeah, I corrected you 10 times. 283 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,480 You tested me 10 times. 284 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,160 You asked me for a word 10 times. 285 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520 And I gave you the word 10 times. 286 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,600 But yet you chose to do what? 287 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,600 What it was that you wanted to do. 288 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:45,330 Numbers 14, verse 22 says. 289 00:14:46,210 --> 00:14:47,170 I read that already. 290 00:14:47,250 --> 00:14:47,810 Sorry. 291 00:14:49,330 --> 00:14:52,210 Half hearted people waste years in circles. 292 00:14:52,930 --> 00:14:54,690 They waste years in circles. 293 00:14:55,730 --> 00:14:59,010 Wandering feels like movement, but produces no progress. 294 00:15:00,049 --> 00:15:04,970 Half hearted people, it's when you're in a forest, imagine you're 295 00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:05,570 in a forest. 296 00:15:05,570 --> 00:15:08,530 And you're walking and you see this tree and you're like, all right, 297 00:15:08,530 --> 00:15:09,370 hey, you know what? 298 00:15:09,370 --> 00:15:10,930 I feel like we came here already. 299 00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:14,050 So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pick up this rock and I'm gonna 300 00:15:14,050 --> 00:15:15,410 put my initials. 301 00:16:23,441 --> 00:16:27,681 That way I know that this is definitely the tree we walk by so 302 00:16:27,681 --> 00:16:39,281 we can go past another tree that is my initials. 303 00:16:40,401 --> 00:16:41,441 It's been four days. 304 00:16:41,441 --> 00:16:44,481 You mean to tell me I've just been walking around in a circle for 305 00:16:44,481 --> 00:16:45,121 four days? 306 00:16:45,601 --> 00:16:46,641 It's been four months. 307 00:16:46,641 --> 00:16:47,641 It's been four years. 308 00:16:47,641 --> 00:16:49,521 You mean to tell me I'm in the same place? 309 00:16:49,681 --> 00:16:58,671 Same still half hearted people waste years in circles wandering 310 00:16:58,671 --> 00:17:01,871 feels like movement but produces no progress. 311 00:17:03,631 --> 00:17:05,151 You know how I know this is true? 312 00:17:05,791 --> 00:17:09,431 Because recently it was my birthday the other day, and my wife 313 00:17:09,431 --> 00:17:10,831 surprised me with an apple watch. 314 00:17:11,151 --> 00:17:12,591 And I was just like, what? 315 00:17:12,591 --> 00:17:13,631 I was really shocked. 316 00:17:13,631 --> 00:17:15,751 I didn't think she would get that. 317 00:17:15,751 --> 00:17:18,231 I just, you know, I was wishful thinking I would ask her, 318 00:17:18,231 --> 00:17:19,791 I'd be like, hey, I need an apple watch. 319 00:17:19,951 --> 00:17:21,551 And she actually got it for me. 320 00:17:21,811 --> 00:17:24,011 And so I was just like, oh, thank you so much. 321 00:17:24,011 --> 00:17:24,771 I was excited. 322 00:17:24,771 --> 00:17:26,771 And then, so I have a dog. 323 00:17:26,771 --> 00:17:28,051 His name is Tuxedo. 324 00:17:28,531 --> 00:17:31,171 And when you see him, you'll see why. 325 00:17:31,571 --> 00:17:34,771 And as I'm walking him, I took him on this long walk. 326 00:17:34,931 --> 00:17:38,091 And as I was walking, all of a sudden my apple watch goes off and 327 00:17:38,091 --> 00:17:39,851 says, would you like to record this walk? 328 00:17:39,851 --> 00:17:42,331 It seems like you're doing an outdoor walk. 329 00:17:42,331 --> 00:17:44,051 I was like, dang, this is. 330 00:17:44,291 --> 00:17:47,411 I was like, God or AI, like, what's going on? 331 00:17:48,221 --> 00:17:49,101 I was like, this is amazing. 332 00:17:49,101 --> 00:17:50,221 How did it figure that out? 333 00:17:50,301 --> 00:17:52,741 And so as I'm walking, I'm thinking about it, I'm like, how 334 00:17:52,741 --> 00:17:54,261 did it know that I was walking? 335 00:17:54,261 --> 00:17:56,141 And it was like an exercise. 336 00:17:56,461 --> 00:18:00,821 And I began to realize that the reason why is because of the 337 00:18:00,821 --> 00:18:05,741 GPS in the watch, it was able to track the fact that I was walking. 338 00:18:06,061 --> 00:18:11,101 But not only was I walking, but I was walking from one distance 339 00:18:11,101 --> 00:18:11,901 to the next. 340 00:18:12,301 --> 00:18:14,461 There was movement and progress. 341 00:18:15,361 --> 00:18:17,601 Not just movement, because I could be in my house. 342 00:18:17,681 --> 00:18:21,321 But then while I'm home, even while I'm here right now, I could 343 00:18:21,321 --> 00:18:22,961 be walking over and over. 344 00:18:23,121 --> 00:18:26,721 Not once I've been here since 8 o' clock and not once did my watch 345 00:18:26,721 --> 00:18:29,281 tell me, hey, it seems like you're on a workout. 346 00:18:30,161 --> 00:18:31,641 Would you like me to record it? 347 00:18:31,641 --> 00:18:32,401 You know why? 348 00:18:32,801 --> 00:18:34,561 Because I'm still in the same place. 349 00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:38,161 I haven't moved, I haven't gone anywhere. 350 00:18:38,801 --> 00:18:40,321 I'm still in this House. 351 00:18:41,091 --> 00:18:44,331 It's not as if I traveled from one place to the other, but let me 352 00:18:44,331 --> 00:18:45,411 start walking home. 353 00:18:46,211 --> 00:18:49,451 My watch is gonna tell me, hey, the satellite that's tracking 354 00:18:49,451 --> 00:18:53,131 you, the God that's tracking you recognizes there's movement going 355 00:18:53,131 --> 00:18:53,411 on. 356 00:18:53,571 --> 00:18:57,971 And so therefore you must be progressing into something new. 357 00:18:58,451 --> 00:19:01,011 You must be progressing into a new place. 358 00:19:01,091 --> 00:19:03,251 You must be going someplace else. 359 00:19:03,491 --> 00:19:07,821 So wandering does not mean that movement does not mean that 360 00:19:07,821 --> 00:19:08,741 you are progressing. 361 00:19:09,461 --> 00:19:13,741 Half hearted walk will cause you to wander and make you feel like 362 00:19:13,741 --> 00:19:16,421 you're moving, but you're not progressing. 363 00:19:18,101 --> 00:19:22,140 I know you're not clapping right now because you're recognizing. 364 00:19:22,140 --> 00:19:22,861 Oh, shoot. 365 00:19:22,861 --> 00:19:23,621 This is me. 366 00:19:24,341 --> 00:19:26,101 Oh, man, this is me. 367 00:19:26,981 --> 00:19:28,741 This is what I've been going through. 368 00:19:28,981 --> 00:19:32,021 This is why I keep coming back to the same prayers. 369 00:19:32,101 --> 00:19:35,141 This is why I keep reading the same scriptures. 370 00:19:35,221 --> 00:19:40,321 This is why I open up my book to what God told me a few years ago. 371 00:19:40,321 --> 00:19:43,721 And I look at it now and I'm writing down the same thing he told 372 00:19:43,721 --> 00:19:44,481 me years ago. 373 00:19:45,681 --> 00:19:50,401 You have not progressed, young people. 374 00:19:50,801 --> 00:19:54,801 I'm talking about you chasing success without surrender. 375 00:19:55,841 --> 00:20:01,041 Adults, I'm talking about you of cycles of death and broken relationships. 376 00:20:01,601 --> 00:20:07,091 Elders, I'm talking about your bitterness, your regret and clinging 377 00:20:07,091 --> 00:20:15,091 to what was, as opposed to looking to what is stagehand. 378 00:20:15,091 --> 00:20:16,091 Can you just get my car? 379 00:20:16,171 --> 00:20:20,571 Because I'm gonna have to run out of here and I hope they don't 380 00:20:20,571 --> 00:20:23,211 know where I parked because I might have slashed tires. 381 00:20:23,451 --> 00:20:26,611 My GPS is gonna start asking me, my phone, my watch is gonna ask 382 00:20:26,611 --> 00:20:28,571 me, are you, Are you taking an outdoor walk? 383 00:20:28,571 --> 00:20:29,771 Yeah, because I don't have a car. 384 00:20:32,921 --> 00:20:33,881 But here's the thing. 385 00:20:34,921 --> 00:20:39,321 Caleb, in the same wilderness, in the same years, lived differently. 386 00:20:39,321 --> 00:20:40,761 It's interesting to me, right? 387 00:20:41,721 --> 00:20:47,721 Caleb was amongst the Israelites that wandered in circles 388 00:20:47,721 --> 00:20:48,521 for four years. 389 00:20:48,521 --> 00:20:49,721 I mean, for 40 years. 390 00:20:51,161 --> 00:20:53,041 The Israelites, we all know that, right? 391 00:20:53,041 --> 00:20:56,441 That the Israelites, they wandered in circles and then they 392 00:20:56,441 --> 00:21:01,161 died off because of the fact that they were just going in, going 393 00:21:01,161 --> 00:21:01,681 in circles. 394 00:21:01,681 --> 00:21:03,001 But then Caleb was part of that. 395 00:21:03,001 --> 00:21:04,281 Joshua was a part of that. 396 00:21:05,001 --> 00:21:05,401 Why? 397 00:21:06,121 --> 00:21:11,321 How come Caleb was able to see the promise, but yet he was not able 398 00:21:11,481 --> 00:21:13,961 to, but yet the people around him was not. 399 00:21:15,161 --> 00:21:19,881 You see, remember I told you that there's restoration, resilience, 400 00:21:20,361 --> 00:21:23,881 but before we got to do that, there's a wholehearted walk. 401 00:21:25,871 --> 00:21:33,671 Joshua 14:1011 says, now then, just as the Lord promised, he has 402 00:21:33,671 --> 00:21:40,591 kept me alive for 45 years, since the time he said this to Moses 403 00:21:41,151 --> 00:21:44,271 while Israel moved about in the wilderness. 404 00:21:44,671 --> 00:21:48,751 So here I am today, 85 years old. 405 00:21:49,311 --> 00:21:53,391 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out. 406 00:21:53,971 --> 00:21:58,931 I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 407 00:22:00,131 --> 00:22:05,651 In the same 40 years they were wandering, Caleb was withstanding 408 00:22:06,451 --> 00:22:11,331 in the same 40 years where the Israelites were going around in circles, 409 00:22:11,491 --> 00:22:15,771 seeing the same tree, looking at the same mountain, figuring out 410 00:22:15,771 --> 00:22:19,531 what to do next, if this is going to work or if that is going 411 00:22:19,531 --> 00:22:19,971 to work. 412 00:22:20,051 --> 00:22:21,491 You know what Caleb was doing? 413 00:22:21,901 --> 00:22:22,941 He was withstanding. 414 00:22:23,741 --> 00:22:25,101 He was withstanding. 415 00:22:25,181 --> 00:22:26,861 What was he withstanding to? 416 00:22:27,021 --> 00:22:31,061 You see, what Caleb did is the same thing what Caleb did in the 417 00:22:31,061 --> 00:22:35,021 wilderness was the same thing he did the moment his his peers, 418 00:22:35,181 --> 00:22:39,261 that he was supposed to go and conquer the land with the same thing. 419 00:22:39,421 --> 00:22:41,181 He did the same thing then. 420 00:22:41,661 --> 00:22:42,621 Later, then. 421 00:22:42,781 --> 00:22:46,261 And he then, excuse me, he did the same thing later than what he 422 00:22:46,261 --> 00:22:48,821 did then, and that's silenced the people. 423 00:22:50,821 --> 00:22:53,141 It says in Numbers 13, Verse 30. 424 00:22:53,701 --> 00:22:59,101 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, we should 425 00:22:59,101 --> 00:23:03,900 go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do 426 00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:04,181 it. 427 00:23:05,781 --> 00:23:08,501 How many of you are going to silence your friends? 428 00:23:08,981 --> 00:23:10,661 Silence your family members? 429 00:23:10,981 --> 00:23:12,501 Silence your peers? 430 00:23:12,501 --> 00:23:14,341 Silence those that are talking? 431 00:23:14,911 --> 00:23:17,071 Silence your negative self. 432 00:23:17,071 --> 00:23:17,391 Talk. 433 00:23:18,271 --> 00:23:21,551 Silence the trauma, silence the emotions. 434 00:23:21,711 --> 00:23:25,471 How many of you are going to silence what is around you? 435 00:23:25,471 --> 00:23:28,991 I want you to know that faith begins when fear is silenced. 436 00:23:30,031 --> 00:23:32,431 Faith begins when fear is silenced. 437 00:23:32,671 --> 00:23:37,911 You see, I just want to add some auxiliary scriptures to you 438 00:23:37,911 --> 00:23:38,431 as well. 439 00:23:38,591 --> 00:23:39,071 We see. 440 00:23:39,071 --> 00:23:45,531 Proverbs 4:23 says, above all else, guards your heart, and for 441 00:23:45,531 --> 00:23:47,691 everything you do flows from it. 442 00:23:48,251 --> 00:23:52,851 Proverbs 18, verse 21 says, the tongue has the power of life 443 00:23:52,851 --> 00:23:56,811 and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. 444 00:23:57,211 --> 00:23:58,491 What did Caleb say? 445 00:23:58,730 --> 00:24:03,051 He said we should go up and take possession of the land, for 446 00:24:03,051 --> 00:24:04,891 we can certainly do it. 447 00:24:06,811 --> 00:24:08,811 Proverbs 1:20, 21. 448 00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:11,941 Out in the open, Wisdom calls aloud. 449 00:24:12,101 --> 00:24:16,381 She raises her voice in the public square on top of the wall. 450 00:24:16,381 --> 00:24:18,621 She cries out at the city gate. 451 00:24:18,621 --> 00:24:19,861 She makes her speech. 452 00:24:21,861 --> 00:24:22,821 So here's your decision. 453 00:24:22,901 --> 00:24:23,461 Moment. 454 00:24:24,341 --> 00:24:26,661 My question is, will you silence the noise? 455 00:24:27,861 --> 00:24:29,621 Will you silence the noise? 456 00:24:30,661 --> 00:24:35,221 You see, the marketplace is loud, but you are loud too. 457 00:24:35,981 --> 00:24:38,141 You have the ability to be loud as well. 458 00:24:39,101 --> 00:24:39,901 Think about it. 459 00:24:40,141 --> 00:24:48,061 You got one man standing in front of 11 other, no, 10 other people, 460 00:24:48,701 --> 00:24:52,861 but not only standing beside 10 other people that are looking 461 00:24:52,861 --> 00:24:55,221 at him, saying, nah, we can't do it. 462 00:24:55,221 --> 00:24:59,301 And then you have a whole entire nation standing in front of 463 00:24:59,301 --> 00:25:03,101 you waiting to hear what everyone would say. 464 00:25:04,231 --> 00:25:09,591 And they grabbed on to what the 10 said instead of listening 465 00:25:09,671 --> 00:25:12,151 to what Caleb was saying. 466 00:25:12,711 --> 00:25:14,871 Caleb said, we can certainly do It. 467 00:25:15,831 --> 00:25:17,591 And you know how I know he did it? 468 00:25:18,631 --> 00:25:21,071 Because it says. 469 00:25:21,071 --> 00:25:23,671 And I'll read to you in a little while what it said. 470 00:25:23,831 --> 00:25:26,231 But restoration is where we're ending up. 471 00:25:27,191 --> 00:25:29,911 And I'm going to define what restoration is in a second. 472 00:25:30,811 --> 00:25:34,571 But I want you to know that the noise in your life is social 473 00:25:34,651 --> 00:25:35,051 media. 474 00:25:36,971 --> 00:25:39,611 The noise in your life is negative self talk. 475 00:25:40,731 --> 00:25:43,131 The noise in your life is shortcuts. 476 00:25:44,731 --> 00:25:46,011 I'm a shortcut king. 477 00:25:46,091 --> 00:25:48,731 I'm always trying to find a more efficient way to do things. 478 00:25:49,051 --> 00:25:51,211 I'm always trying to find even driving. 479 00:25:51,451 --> 00:25:52,731 I'll take a shortcut. 480 00:25:52,811 --> 00:25:55,571 And Pastor Mary sitting beside me, and she'll look at me and be 481 00:25:55,571 --> 00:25:57,491 like, can you just follow the gps? 482 00:25:57,571 --> 00:25:59,411 And I'm like, nah, I think there's a better way. 483 00:25:59,491 --> 00:26:00,491 I tried that yesterday. 484 00:26:00,491 --> 00:26:06,171 I had to go to New Jersey for Blitz the Block, and I drove because 485 00:26:06,171 --> 00:26:06,971 I live in Long Island. 486 00:26:06,971 --> 00:26:08,851 For those of you that don't know Long island people. 487 00:26:08,851 --> 00:26:09,891 Can y' all make some noise? 488 00:26:10,051 --> 00:26:10,691 Yeah. 489 00:26:13,331 --> 00:26:14,371 And so I'm driving. 490 00:26:14,371 --> 00:26:15,091 I'm driving. 491 00:26:15,571 --> 00:26:18,971 And I was listening to 1010 WINS. 492 00:26:18,971 --> 00:26:19,291 I don't know. 493 00:26:19,291 --> 00:26:19,811 It was on. 494 00:26:20,051 --> 00:26:23,561 I'm not that old, but that's how my parents raised me. 495 00:26:23,561 --> 00:26:26,441 But I was listening, and I was hearing the traffic that was in certain 496 00:26:26,441 --> 00:26:28,401 areas, and I was like, all right, you know what I'm gonna do? 497 00:26:28,401 --> 00:26:29,121 I'm go this way. 498 00:26:29,121 --> 00:26:30,081 I'm gonna go that way. 499 00:26:30,081 --> 00:26:31,241 Then I look at the GPS. 500 00:26:31,481 --> 00:26:35,161 Originally, it told me I was gonna get there 10 minutes before 501 00:26:35,241 --> 00:26:36,561 I actually did get there. 502 00:26:36,561 --> 00:26:36,921 Why? 503 00:26:37,081 --> 00:26:39,401 Because I decided to take a shortcut. 504 00:26:42,281 --> 00:26:42,841 Noise. 505 00:26:43,161 --> 00:26:45,161 1010 wins in that moment was noise. 506 00:26:45,401 --> 00:26:50,211 But shortcuts is noise. 507 00:26:51,171 --> 00:26:53,251 Your emotions are noise. 508 00:26:55,731 --> 00:26:58,131 Your trauma, it's noise. 509 00:26:58,771 --> 00:27:02,611 Listen, I know you went through it, but listen. 510 00:27:03,651 --> 00:27:06,291 And I'm talking to you in Indiana. 511 00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:07,731 I'm talking to you in Brooklyn. 512 00:27:07,891 --> 00:27:09,251 I'm talking to you online. 513 00:27:09,331 --> 00:27:10,211 That's watching. 514 00:27:10,771 --> 00:27:12,731 I validate the fact that you went through it. 515 00:27:12,731 --> 00:27:13,571 We validate that. 516 00:27:13,571 --> 00:27:14,131 We understand. 517 00:27:15,291 --> 00:27:17,371 But you went through it. 518 00:27:18,251 --> 00:27:19,211 That is the past. 519 00:27:19,931 --> 00:27:22,891 Let's move on into where God is calling you to. 520 00:27:26,891 --> 00:27:30,331 You know, it's interesting, right? 521 00:27:32,011 --> 00:27:38,091 How many of you know RJ from New York and V1 Brooklyn? 522 00:27:38,091 --> 00:27:43,101 He's the production lead there, and he's. 523 00:27:43,101 --> 00:27:44,781 He's a phenomenal man of God. 524 00:27:45,101 --> 00:27:46,461 I love rj. 525 00:27:46,461 --> 00:27:49,621 He has a place near and dear to my heart because, you know, we 526 00:27:49,621 --> 00:27:49,821 just. 527 00:27:49,821 --> 00:27:54,021 We just kind of went through life together and seeing him become 528 00:27:54,021 --> 00:27:55,821 who he is today and. 529 00:27:57,021 --> 00:28:00,381 But there was a moment, right now, we see the highlight reel of 530 00:28:00,381 --> 00:28:03,581 RJ standing next to his wife. 531 00:28:03,581 --> 00:28:07,821 And graduating and walking across the stage with his wife Crystal. 532 00:28:09,011 --> 00:28:17,291 And they went through V1 college year one, but their marriage 533 00:28:17,291 --> 00:28:19,691 was definitely on the rocks. 534 00:28:19,691 --> 00:28:22,851 We heard their testimony for those of you that were at the marriage 535 00:28:22,851 --> 00:28:23,411 conference. 536 00:28:24,211 --> 00:28:29,891 And there's all of these things that kind of took place in 537 00:28:29,891 --> 00:28:30,531 their lives. 538 00:28:31,091 --> 00:28:34,571 But there was a moment after all the prayers, after God gave them 539 00:28:34,571 --> 00:28:40,501 what they wanted, after he prayed to just be back in the life 540 00:28:40,501 --> 00:28:44,701 of his children and his wife, like a father should be, There's 541 00:28:44,701 --> 00:28:49,021 a moment where he was rocked once more. 542 00:28:49,981 --> 00:28:52,941 And I asked rj, I was like, man, rj, I'm so proud of you, man. 543 00:28:52,941 --> 00:28:56,661 I see what God's doing in your life is so amazing, but what did 544 00:28:56,661 --> 00:28:57,981 it take to be resilient? 545 00:28:58,461 --> 00:29:01,421 He's like, pastor, you know, I wasn't always resilient. 546 00:29:01,821 --> 00:29:08,471 Even after I got what I asked for, there was a moment in my life 547 00:29:08,471 --> 00:29:11,351 where I kind of stepped a little back. 548 00:29:11,511 --> 00:29:14,111 I stepped back a little, and I was like, you know what? 549 00:29:14,111 --> 00:29:16,071 I'm not gonna go to church as much. 550 00:29:16,311 --> 00:29:17,911 You know, God gave me what I want. 551 00:29:18,311 --> 00:29:18,871 I'm not. 552 00:29:19,271 --> 00:29:20,031 I'm just gonna. 553 00:29:20,031 --> 00:29:20,671 You know, just. 554 00:29:20,671 --> 00:29:23,591 There's just these moments in our lives where things kind of, like, 555 00:29:23,591 --> 00:29:23,911 just. 556 00:29:23,911 --> 00:29:27,151 We just kind of push some things under the rug or we push it 557 00:29:27,151 --> 00:29:28,511 behind us, and we're like, you know what? 558 00:29:28,511 --> 00:29:29,351 I'm good now. 559 00:29:29,911 --> 00:29:31,271 That's what the Israelites thought. 560 00:29:31,451 --> 00:29:32,811 Oh, I went through the Red Sea. 561 00:29:32,811 --> 00:29:33,491 Now I'm out. 562 00:29:33,491 --> 00:29:36,011 Egypt is no longer chasing after me. 563 00:29:36,251 --> 00:29:37,211 I'm good now. 564 00:29:38,971 --> 00:29:41,451 And so what happened to rj? 565 00:29:41,451 --> 00:29:42,171 There was a moment. 566 00:29:42,171 --> 00:29:51,371 Now they're about to have a baby, a baby girl, and all of a sudden, 567 00:29:52,891 --> 00:29:53,851 the baby dies. 568 00:29:55,851 --> 00:29:58,531 It was a couple of weeks in, and they were excited. 569 00:29:58,531 --> 00:30:02,091 A couple months in, actually, and they were excited about what 570 00:30:02,091 --> 00:30:03,791 God had in their lives. 571 00:30:03,791 --> 00:30:04,191 And they. 572 00:30:04,191 --> 00:30:07,191 They looked at it, and it was like, there's our restoration story. 573 00:30:07,991 --> 00:30:08,951 There it goes. 574 00:30:10,151 --> 00:30:14,391 But rj, he didn't know how to get through that. 575 00:30:14,391 --> 00:30:15,751 He didn't know what he would do. 576 00:30:16,391 --> 00:30:19,111 You know, some people have a scripture that they hold on to. 577 00:30:19,671 --> 00:30:22,671 Some people, they decide to just open up the word, and they walk 578 00:30:22,671 --> 00:30:24,791 daily in where God is calling them to. 579 00:30:26,231 --> 00:30:27,991 But for him, it was a song. 580 00:30:29,041 --> 00:30:34,481 The song do it Again came on the radio, and he remembered what 581 00:30:34,481 --> 00:30:39,041 God did before, and he said, God, if you can do it then, you can 582 00:30:39,041 --> 00:30:39,841 do it now. 583 00:30:40,241 --> 00:30:42,481 And that was about two, three years ago. 584 00:30:42,561 --> 00:30:46,841 And then he kept on walking in that daily and saying, God, do it 585 00:30:46,841 --> 00:30:49,361 again every day, Lord, renew me again. 586 00:30:49,361 --> 00:30:50,081 Do it again. 587 00:30:50,481 --> 00:30:54,841 And now, two, three, Years later, you've seen RJ just catapult 588 00:30:54,841 --> 00:30:58,371 into a whole nother stratosphere of who God is calling 589 00:30:58,371 --> 00:30:59,091 him to do. 590 00:30:59,331 --> 00:31:00,291 Why is that? 591 00:31:00,451 --> 00:31:04,691 Because he decided to walk in where God is calling him. 592 00:31:04,691 --> 00:31:08,771 He decided to silence the noise of everything around him and 593 00:31:08,771 --> 00:31:11,331 say, I'm going to walk wholeheartedly. 594 00:31:11,331 --> 00:31:13,651 I'm going to walk a wholehearted walk. 595 00:31:13,811 --> 00:31:16,971 I'm going to walk in resilience and I'm going to receive 596 00:31:16,971 --> 00:31:19,491 the restoration that you have for me. 597 00:31:21,741 --> 00:31:23,581 Here's what I want you to do really quickly. 598 00:31:24,861 --> 00:31:25,901 And here's the thing. 599 00:31:27,581 --> 00:31:29,101 I'm going to tell you this right now. 600 00:31:30,701 --> 00:31:31,621 Don't stand up. 601 00:31:31,621 --> 00:31:32,981 I'm going to invite you to stand up. 602 00:31:32,981 --> 00:31:35,821 But don't stand up if you're not ready to walk a wholehearted 603 00:31:35,821 --> 00:31:36,141 walk. 604 00:31:37,261 --> 00:31:41,141 If you're okay with being half hearted, that's okay for now, I'll 605 00:31:41,141 --> 00:31:41,741 tell you that. 606 00:31:41,821 --> 00:31:42,941 Just know what I said. 607 00:31:42,941 --> 00:31:43,941 You heard what I said. 608 00:31:43,941 --> 00:31:45,021 You were paying attention. 609 00:31:46,141 --> 00:31:51,471 But I don't want you to stand up because everyone else around you 610 00:31:51,471 --> 00:31:52,391 is standing up. 611 00:31:53,191 --> 00:31:56,871 I want you to stand up because it's a declaration that you're making 612 00:31:56,871 --> 00:32:00,631 that God, even when it's hard, I'm gonna walk wholeheartedly. 613 00:32:02,151 --> 00:32:06,791 So if you're ready to silence the noise and walk a walk wholehearted, 614 00:32:07,671 --> 00:32:11,031 I want you to stand as a declaration before God right now. 615 00:32:11,591 --> 00:32:14,111 And I'll tell you right now, we're not gonna judge you if you 616 00:32:14,111 --> 00:32:14,471 don't. 617 00:32:17,971 --> 00:32:23,051 You see, when you silence the noise and walk wholeheartedly, here's 618 00:32:23,051 --> 00:32:24,051 what God promises. 619 00:32:25,411 --> 00:32:26,211 Long Island. 620 00:32:26,691 --> 00:32:29,251 I want to let you know this, Brooklyn. 621 00:32:29,251 --> 00:32:31,931 I want to let you know this, Indiana. 622 00:32:31,931 --> 00:32:38,611 Listen closely online if you're standing. 623 00:32:40,701 --> 00:32:45,101 The reward of a wholehearted walk is restoration. 624 00:32:46,541 --> 00:32:53,741 In Joshua, chapter 14, 1314, the Bible says, then Joshua blessed 625 00:32:53,741 --> 00:33:00,061 Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. 626 00:33:01,181 --> 00:33:06,181 So Hebron has belonged to Caleb, son of Jepunah, the Kenizzite, 627 00:33:06,181 --> 00:33:14,501 ever since because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly. 628 00:34:09,272 --> 00:34:16,952 Remember, restoration means not just getting back what was lost, 629 00:34:17,832 --> 00:34:21,912 but receiving the fullness of what God always intended. 630 00:34:23,472 --> 00:34:28,592 A wholehearted walk blesses not just you, it also blesses your 631 00:34:28,592 --> 00:34:29,072 legacy. 632 00:34:30,512 --> 00:34:32,152 You see, the thing is, you're gonna. 633 00:34:32,152 --> 00:34:34,112 You're gonna have a legacy either way. 634 00:34:35,312 --> 00:34:37,312 The Israelites had a legacy. 635 00:34:38,031 --> 00:34:39,392 It was wandering in death. 636 00:34:41,152 --> 00:34:44,592 But Caleb and Joshua, Caleb had a legacy. 637 00:34:46,192 --> 00:34:49,352 And it was somewhere, it was one that we can talk about even to 638 00:34:49,352 --> 00:34:53,632 this day, that were willing to scream out from the rooftop. 639 00:34:55,712 --> 00:34:59,472 A wholehearted walk breeds. 640 00:34:59,872 --> 00:35:05,312 Breeds a characteristic, a character A characteristic of resilience. 641 00:35:06,672 --> 00:35:09,872 And eventually you receive a reward of restoration. 642 00:35:11,472 --> 00:35:18,282 But half hearted will lead you to wandering in circles trying to 643 00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:22,642 figure it out on your own and eventually die. 644 00:35:26,802 --> 00:35:28,562 Don't just survive the wilderness. 645 00:35:29,442 --> 00:35:30,802 Inherit the promise. 646 00:35:31,282 --> 00:35:34,482 It's time to walk a wholehearted walk. 647 00:35:39,842 --> 00:35:46,422 Recently I was, a couple of years ago, I moved into my house 648 00:35:46,502 --> 00:35:51,942 and Pastor Mary and I, we, you know, our finances were where it 649 00:35:51,942 --> 00:35:53,382 was supposed to be and everything. 650 00:35:54,182 --> 00:35:57,062 But then, you know, you start looking at your neighbors, you see 651 00:35:57,062 --> 00:35:58,022 the things they have. 652 00:35:58,342 --> 00:36:00,662 You look at the houses, you walk the neighborhoods. 653 00:36:00,822 --> 00:36:03,702 And so I was like, man, I like their curb appeal. 654 00:36:03,782 --> 00:36:05,862 I want to get curb appeal like that too. 655 00:36:06,662 --> 00:36:09,262 You know, we did some renovations in our home and everything 656 00:36:09,262 --> 00:36:09,782 like that. 657 00:36:10,592 --> 00:36:14,112 And in the process of us getting a house, we also got a financial 658 00:36:14,192 --> 00:36:14,592 coach. 659 00:36:15,552 --> 00:36:18,512 And the financial coach knew what our situation was then. 660 00:36:18,912 --> 00:36:21,872 And a couple of years, a couple of weeks, months ago, actually, 661 00:36:22,512 --> 00:36:26,392 I spoke to my financial coach again and we opened up the books. 662 00:36:26,392 --> 00:36:33,072 He looked at everything and he looked at it and said, you guys don't 663 00:36:33,072 --> 00:36:34,192 look like you went anywhere. 664 00:36:34,432 --> 00:36:36,032 You look like you didn't do anything. 665 00:36:36,632 --> 00:36:37,432 It's been years. 666 00:36:37,832 --> 00:36:40,312 Your finances look worse than where it was before. 667 00:36:41,272 --> 00:36:46,632 By now you should have been way past this half hearted. 668 00:36:49,992 --> 00:36:54,632 And the thing is, what you have to understand, you gotta be 669 00:36:54,632 --> 00:36:55,752 willing to die daily. 670 00:36:56,152 --> 00:36:59,432 You gotta be willing to silence the noise of everything around 671 00:36:59,432 --> 00:37:02,952 you, of what you're seeing, your perspective and all of these 672 00:37:02,952 --> 00:37:06,432 things, and say, God, I know where you're calling me to, and I'm 673 00:37:06,432 --> 00:37:09,292 going to receive that restoration that you have for me. 674 00:37:09,292 --> 00:37:11,012 I'm gonna walk in resilience. 675 00:37:12,772 --> 00:37:17,932 And so for each and every one of you that are standing today, for 676 00:37:17,932 --> 00:37:21,172 each and every one of you that are standing right now in this moment 677 00:37:21,172 --> 00:37:25,132 and saying, I'm willing to walk a wholehearted walk, I'm
