1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,960
What is going on?

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:09,520
Church?

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,480
I'm so excited to be here with you.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,600
Last week we talked about this
broken thermostat.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,480
How many of you received that
word last week?

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,080
Do you remember?

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,160
Okay, if you weren't here, get
caught up.

8
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,560
And we talked about how past
wounds in your life, they live in

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,200
your nervous system and they
become part of what's called your

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,120
default operating code.

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,240
And we called that autopilot.

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,960
Can y' all say autopilot?

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,320
All right, good.

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,400
You're awake and heavily caffeinated.

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,920
We sat with the man at the
pool of Bethesda, who for 38 years,

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,880
38 years, sat there unable to
help himself.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,840
And Jesus asked him this
surgical question.

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Remember, we're talking about
the heart.

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,800
Would you like to get well?

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Turn to your neighbor and ask
him, would you like to get well?

21
00:00:58,950 --> 00:01:00,030
Come on, wives.

22
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:03,670
This is your opportunity to
ask your husband, would you like

23
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:04,470
to get well?

24
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:08,150
You turn to the other person
on the other side that you ignored

25
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:11,030
and ask them, would you like
to get well?

26
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:15,430
It's a question.

27
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:19,670
And that message has reached a
very large number of people.

28
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:23,290
If you're tuning in right now,
drop a comment, let us know where

29
00:01:23,290 --> 00:01:24,530
you're tuning in from.

30
00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:28,650
Because, man, I got so many
messages of breakthrough.

31
00:01:28,650 --> 00:01:29,730
But we got more.

32
00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:31,370
Now, I want.

33
00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:34,530
If you're a note taker, this
is gonna be a teaching.

34
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:35,890
So lock in with me.

35
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:39,890
There are three ways that this
wound runs your life.

36
00:01:40,450 --> 00:01:43,010
And if you're taking notes, I
want you to write this down.

37
00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:49,490
This wound that you have, it
causes you to fight, flight, or freeze.

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Fight, flight, or freeze.

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,920
And your wound causes you to
do that.

40
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,280
But basically, we ran out of time.

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Last week, I don't know if you
remember, I had my gym mat, and I

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,920
was flailing it around wildly,
screaming, you know, like a crazy.

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,240
I don't know if you remember
that in Manhattan, because it's Pride

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Month, I was waving that mat
saying, you have a.

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,800
They have a flag, but we have
a mat.

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,400
It was powerful.

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,800
Like, man, Manhattan was
packed out with missionaries.

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,520
Last week was crazy, but we
ran out of time.

49
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,600
So I wanna get to the
remainder of this message.

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,000
So we're gonna go very deep
into this teaching.

51
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,920
Are y' all for it?

52
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:30,720
Are you with it?

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,720
Okay, so today we're gonna
jump back in.

54
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,520
And here's what's different
about today.

55
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,240
Last week, we diagnosed the problem.

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,640
Today we're gonna meet the cure.

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240
So if you thought last week
was good, today is the we're gonna

58
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,960
meet the cure.

59
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000
And the cure is not a strategy.

60
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,000
The cure is not A practice.

61
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,920
It's not a 30 day plan.

62
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,760
The cure is actually a person.

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,280
I'll just let that sit in the
room because to a heavily medicated

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,520
generation doesn't mean that
some of it's not necessary.

65
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:09,920
To a generation that goes to
chatgpt before they go to Jesus Christ

66
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:10,800
of Nazareth.

67
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:13,990
The cure is a person.

68
00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:17,030
And the way that he healed.

69
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:19,990
And this is, we're gonna look
at this.

70
00:03:20,150 --> 00:03:21,070
The life of a man.

71
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:23,190
He's the most famous flight.

72
00:03:24,150 --> 00:03:25,550
I'm like, lord, bless my tongue.

73
00:03:25,550 --> 00:03:29,710
To be able to do this message,
flight, fight and freeze case in

74
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:30,790
the entire Bible.

75
00:03:30,950 --> 00:03:34,950
It's gonna wreck you in the
best way possible because that person,

76
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:38,070
and if you've been a member of
this church for years, you know,

77
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,880
I love to preach on this person.

78
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,160
His name is Peter.

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,760
And Jesus is about to do
something really to address some

80
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,360
wounds that he had in his life.

81
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,720
And it's so intentional, it's
so precise, it's so surgical, and

82
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,400
it's loving that it only could
have been planned by God Almighty.

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,520
And so let's jump into Peter.

84
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:06,520
This is a case study of fight,
flight, freeze, which is a central

85
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,400
nervous system response to a wound.

86
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,760
And I want to introduce you to
a man in a span of roughly 18 hours.

87
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,680
This is crazy.

88
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,640
When you look at scripture, he
demonstrated all three trauma responses

89
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,760
in that sequence.

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,880
And once I saw this, I could
not unsee it.

91
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,480
And I want you to notice
something as we go through these.

92
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Peter is not a bad person.

93
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,560
He's a wounded person whose
wounds have been driving him without

94
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,440
his permission.

95
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,520
And that's how I want you to understand.

96
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,840
Like most people in your life,
they were not heroes, but they were

97
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:44,080
also not villains.

98
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,000
They were wounded people who
were being driven by the wound.

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,840
And what they did to you is
the consequence of that wound.

100
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,440
So you tell the story about
how this villain abused you.

101
00:04:56,090 --> 00:05:01,130
But if God were to come in and
rewrite that story, what if I told

102
00:05:01,130 --> 00:05:06,210
you it was a wounded person
that in search of some sort of comfort

103
00:05:06,210 --> 00:05:11,770
for that wound, operated in
fight, in flight, or in freeze, and

104
00:05:11,770 --> 00:05:17,770
their abuse or hurt to you was
the unintended consequence of their

105
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:19,290
reaction to a wound?

106
00:05:19,290 --> 00:05:20,330
Are y' all with me?

107
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:25,000
So this is important because
fight, flight and freeze does not

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,120
mean that you're evil.

109
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,920
It doesn't necessarily mean
that they were evil.

110
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,600
It means that you're human.

111
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,080
It means that something was broken.

112
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,920
And that protective system,
because I want you to think about

113
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,880
fight, flight and freeze as a
protective system.

114
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,600
And we actually need this system.

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,280
It's not something that you
should indefinitely dismantle and

116
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:47,800
turn off.

117
00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:52,510
But it's something that if
it's unregulated, if it's hyper vigilant,

118
00:05:52,590 --> 00:05:56,510
if it's always on, you're
never gonna live your life in peace.

119
00:05:56,750 --> 00:05:59,110
And Peter in this story is not
a villain.

120
00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:00,110
How do we know that?

121
00:06:00,670 --> 00:06:03,950
He starts as a disciple, he
ends as an apostle.

122
00:06:04,190 --> 00:06:05,910
He clearly was not the villain.

123
00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:09,150
Even though Jesus said, satan,
get thee behind me.

124
00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:13,390
Jesus was dealing with the
root system because he was trying

125
00:06:13,390 --> 00:06:17,320
to get Peter to go through a
process to fulfill his destiny to

126
00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:21,350
some of us need to become like
Jesus and stop treating people like

127
00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:21,950
demons.

128
00:06:25,550 --> 00:06:28,990
Stop treating people like
demons and start dealing with the

129
00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:32,510
root understanding that Peter
needed help to get to the finish

130
00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:32,830
line.

131
00:06:32,990 --> 00:06:34,470
So we're going to go through
the first one.

132
00:06:34,470 --> 00:06:37,310
The first one is fight in the garden.

133
00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:40,510
This is John chapter 18, verse 10.

134
00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:41,310
Okay.

135
00:06:41,550 --> 00:06:46,080
Then Simon Peter, having a
sword, drew it and struck that high

136
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,320
priest servant and cut off his
right ear because homie, don't play.

137
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,320
The servant's name was Malchus.

138
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,040
Right?

139
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,720
So in it's the garden of
Gethsemane, Jesus has just finished,

140
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,320
I mean really one of the most
anguished prayers that we ever have

141
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,000
recorded in all of human history.

142
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,480
The soldiers arrive with torches.

143
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,240
They got weapons, they got a mob.

144
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:11,590
And.

145
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:15,500
And in an instant, before
anyone even has a chance to react,

146
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:17,980
the first person to react is Peter.

147
00:07:18,380 --> 00:07:21,420
And Peter said, make my day folks.

148
00:07:21,420 --> 00:07:22,980
Step up to the line.

149
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:24,940
Boy, boy, let's go, son.

150
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:26,940
You don't want this.

151
00:07:27,659 --> 00:07:28,220
I'm just.

152
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:29,580
This is what he's doing.

153
00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:31,220
He draws his sword and he.

154
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:33,100
Actually this is the craziest part.

155
00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:34,820
It was attempted murder.

156
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:38,100
You all understand that he
wasn't aiming for the ear, he was

157
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:39,020
aiming for the head.

158
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:48,140
And so notice this is Malchus
moved in time and the sword grazed

159
00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:50,220
his ear and took his ear off.

160
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:52,180
You know, that's not self defense.

161
00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:52,940
That's murder.

162
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:55,580
That's not strategy.

163
00:07:55,580 --> 00:07:57,100
That's a fight response.

164
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:00,380
And here's what the fight
response always looks like.

165
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:02,780
And I want you to write this
down in your notes.

166
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,860
Disproportionate force.

167
00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:08,350
Disproportionate force.

168
00:08:09,150 --> 00:08:13,790
Their reaction is
disproportionate to the action.

169
00:08:14,510 --> 00:08:19,830
The way they respond is much
greater than the action that necessitated

170
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:20,670
a response.

171
00:08:20,990 --> 00:08:22,190
It's disproportionate.

172
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:25,150
In other words, the threat
does not match the reaction.

173
00:08:26,030 --> 00:08:30,830
And there are people that are
driving on the highway and their

174
00:08:30,830 --> 00:08:34,630
reaction to what happened in
traffic is disproportionate to what

175
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:36,350
actually happened in reality.

176
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,360
And we know what we call that
road rage.

177
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,120
And it has little to do with
the traffic, and it has everything

178
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,320
to do with this wound and this
internal thing.

179
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,640
And it's like the person in
New York City is just like, let's

180
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:51,840
go.

181
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,640
Let's do this thing.

182
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,920
The thing is, they're looking
to fight.

183
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,080
They woke up waiting for what
they thought was gonna be sweet therapy

184
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,480
when they knock somebody out.

185
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,280
And it has everything to do
with them.

186
00:09:03,820 --> 00:09:06,660
What if I told you that most
of what you're dealing with when

187
00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:11,500
you're interacting with people
is not the action?

188
00:09:12,220 --> 00:09:17,380
It's the disproportionate
response to an action based on a

189
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:17,740
wound?

190
00:09:18,220 --> 00:09:19,740
Let's talk about tattoos.

191
00:09:20,220 --> 00:09:24,820
If you get a tattoo and it's
underneath your sleeve and somebody

192
00:09:24,820 --> 00:09:28,060
doesn't know that you got a
tattoo, that thing is an open wound.

193
00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:29,980
It's bleeding, it's oozing.

194
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:32,290
And they come up to you and
say, hey, what's up, man?

195
00:09:32,450 --> 00:09:33,650
How you doing, buddy?

196
00:09:33,650 --> 00:09:34,370
How you doing?

197
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,810
And they give you one of those.

198
00:09:35,890 --> 00:09:37,170
How you gonna respond?

199
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:40,690
Ah, what'd you do?

200
00:09:41,010 --> 00:09:41,410
Why?

201
00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:43,970
Because there was something
under your sleeve.

202
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:44,570
Wounded.

203
00:09:44,570 --> 00:09:48,410
And their action could have
even been a friendly gesture, but

204
00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:52,050
the wound created a
disproportionate reaction.

205
00:09:52,210 --> 00:09:55,890
As a matter of fact, somebody
might get mad at you for being friendly.

206
00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:57,330
Oh, come on, somebody.

207
00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:59,540
Welcome to the local church.

208
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:02,460
Oh, welcome to V1 Church.

209
00:10:02,460 --> 00:10:02,860
Yeah.

210
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:03,700
You're fake.

211
00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:07,780
Would you like to join my group?

212
00:10:07,780 --> 00:10:08,380
Oh, yeah.

213
00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:09,940
You're not using me here.

214
00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:15,620
Can we film your testimony?

215
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:18,180
No, I don't participate in propaganda.

216
00:10:21,060 --> 00:10:21,900
Yeah, you know what?

217
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:24,980
I've been praying, and there's
something wrong with that apostle

218
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:25,380
Mike.

219
00:10:27,090 --> 00:10:28,010
Well, let me just help you.

220
00:10:28,010 --> 00:10:29,490
There's a lot wrong with me.

221
00:10:29,890 --> 00:10:30,930
Ask my wife.

222
00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:33,530
And it's just like I said last week.

223
00:10:33,530 --> 00:10:37,250
As long as you have your eyes
on my humanity, you can't be fixated

224
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:38,450
on Jesus beauty.

225
00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:42,730
Because your eyes, both eyes,
only go one direction if they work

226
00:10:42,730 --> 00:10:43,090
right?

227
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:45,970
So what that means is you
can't be looking at man and looking

228
00:10:45,970 --> 00:10:47,490
at Jesus at the same time.

229
00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:50,610
So if you are looking at
somebody to have something wrong

230
00:10:50,610 --> 00:10:52,690
with them, you're always going
to be right.

231
00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:56,000
But for all have sinned and
fallen short of the glory.

232
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,640
But all of us are here to look
to Jesus.

233
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:04,040
But the problem is, when
you're wounded, you'll have a disproportionate

234
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:04,800
response.

235
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,600
And even when somebody's doing
a friendly gesture, you will interpret

236
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,800
through skepticism.

237
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,320
And it says nothing about the
gesture and says everything about

238
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:14,880
the wound.

239
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,200
Matter of fact, it's hard to
discern the world around you.

240
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,120
With an open wound, Peter
could have grabbed Jesus.

241
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,360
And Peter could have ran.

242
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,280
He could have negotiated.

243
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,640
He could have even prayed.

244
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,600
Let's pray.

245
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,000
But instead, he went for the head.

246
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,120
Think about that.

247
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Because I believe, and I can't
prove this, but the evidence is there.

248
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,920
Peter had a wound.

249
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,080
And we see it earlier in this narrative.

250
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,660
This is the man who he boldly
declared, lord, I'll follow you to

251
00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:47,060
prison.

252
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:48,820
I'll even follow you to death.

253
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:50,820
This is how people talk.

254
00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:53,220
This is Luke, chapter 22,
verse 33.

255
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:55,780
And what that's called is bravado.

256
00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:59,860
For those of you taking notes,
bravado is when you talk a big talk.

257
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:07,780
Bravado is, hey, baby girl,
you know, I think you're my wife,

258
00:12:07,780 --> 00:12:08,180
girl.

259
00:12:08,980 --> 00:12:09,980
That's bravado.

260
00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:10,700
It's like, no, no, no.

261
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,260
You're trying to sleep with
her, homie, and you're just talking

262
00:12:13,260 --> 00:12:14,950
the talk to try to get.

263
00:12:14,950 --> 00:12:16,390
Get with her like that.

264
00:12:16,390 --> 00:12:17,910
And, you know, people do the
same thing.

265
00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:19,830
Oh, Pastor Mike, you're my pastor.

266
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:20,550
I'm not.

267
00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:23,870
Listen, I'm your pastor when I
promote you, but not when I correct

268
00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:24,110
you.

269
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:25,430
Am I really your pastor?

270
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:29,070
And it's like when people get
into a relationship, oh, I'm wife

271
00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:31,710
material when you want to
sleep with me, but not when I tell

272
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:32,790
you to go get a job.

273
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:33,430
See?

274
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:36,150
Come on, somebody, for what happens.

275
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,640
Peter had bravado.

276
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,840
He said the right things when
he was in the dating phase, but didn't

277
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,080
understand covenant.

278
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,560
And that was going to be
challenged by Jesus.

279
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:55,280
But what I love about Jesus is
he tolerated the immaturity, knowing

280
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,080
that if he could get him
healed, he could turn immaturity

281
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,080
into maturity.

282
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:02,800
Are y' all with me?

283
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:09,300
So someone who is terrified as
being seen as weak, someone whose

284
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,900
identity is wrapped up in
being the strongest one in the room,

285
00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:15,380
is going to have the most bravado.

286
00:13:15,380 --> 00:13:16,100
Oh, yeah.

287
00:13:16,180 --> 00:13:18,580
Men of valor, my ride or die.

288
00:13:22,180 --> 00:13:22,980
Oh, yeah.

289
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:24,420
It's the bravado.

290
00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:28,180
It's the person who doesn't
want to be perceived as weak is going

291
00:13:28,180 --> 00:13:30,820
to be the person who talks the
most talk.

292
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:32,460
But how many of you know the.

293
00:13:32,460 --> 00:13:33,980
Lord's gonna challenge that now?

294
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:37,980
Because faithfulness is maturity.

295
00:13:38,460 --> 00:13:41,740
And the Lord is checking that
in Peter in this moment.

296
00:13:41,740 --> 00:13:45,660
And when that identity is
threatened, because the arrest begins

297
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:50,340
to expose Peter's
helplessness, the wound begins to

298
00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:51,100
fire up.

299
00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:53,260
And what does Jesus do?

300
00:13:53,580 --> 00:13:56,540
He tells Peter, put that sword away.

301
00:13:57,610 --> 00:14:00,730
And then this is really crazy.

302
00:14:00,890 --> 00:14:03,810
Jesus picks up the ear and he
heals it.

303
00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:06,010
Luke, chapter 22, verse 51.

304
00:14:06,250 --> 00:14:11,650
And that very act of violence
that Peter performed It's Jesus absorbed

305
00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:11,930
it.

306
00:14:12,330 --> 00:14:13,130
Listen to this.

307
00:14:13,370 --> 00:14:16,250
He reversed it and he healed it.

308
00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:20,450
So he absorbed it, he reversed
it and healed it.

309
00:14:20,450 --> 00:14:23,370
In every story, there's a Peter.

310
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:26,050
Not a villain, just a wounded person.

311
00:14:26,610 --> 00:14:30,690
But in every story, there also
must be a Jesus who is a reconciler,

312
00:14:30,690 --> 00:14:35,210
who says, I didn't do it, but
I will absorb it, I will reverse

313
00:14:35,210 --> 00:14:36,690
it, and I will heal it.

314
00:14:36,690 --> 00:14:38,450
Oh, is somebody with me right now?

315
00:14:39,090 --> 00:14:43,130
So what that means is in every
relationship, whether it's a church

316
00:14:43,130 --> 00:14:47,690
relationship, whether it's a
marital relationship, Julie didn't

317
00:14:47,690 --> 00:14:48,690
do my sin.

318
00:14:48,770 --> 00:14:49,030
We.

319
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:53,180
But Julie in the story was the
Jesus figure who reconciled and said,

320
00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:54,540
I'm not the alcoholic.

321
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:57,740
I'm not the cheater, but I am
going to absorb it.

322
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:01,100
I'm gonna reverse it, and I'm
gonna heal it, believing that Mike

323
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:05,060
can go from immature to
mature, and all the bravado that

324
00:15:05,060 --> 00:15:08,540
he told me can turn into real
covenant language later on.

325
00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:09,740
Y' all with me?

326
00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:11,020
Y' all with me?

327
00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:15,420
Cause the real test of whether
or not you're men of valor is whether

328
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:18,620
you stand for your church when
there's heat, not when it's all good.

329
00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:22,660
The real test of whether or
not you're with somebody is not when

330
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:23,820
they're sleeping with you.

331
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:27,780
It's when it's fidelity and
when it's covenant and when it's.

332
00:15:27,780 --> 00:15:28,260
Come on.

333
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:28,860
Purity.

334
00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:32,380
See, the thing about it is,
Jesus was like, peter, I'm not gonna

335
00:15:32,380 --> 00:15:33,980
rebuke you for talking the talk.

336
00:15:33,980 --> 00:15:35,100
I'm gonna test you.

337
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:37,500
He didn't get rebuke.

338
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:38,620
He got tested.

339
00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:40,100
And I believe that the.

340
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:41,780
I'm speaking prophetically
right now.

341
00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:44,780
I believe the body of Christ
is being tested right now.

342
00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:47,420
We talk unity, but are we unified?

343
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:51,020
We talk building the church,
or are we tearing it down?

344
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:53,900
We talk evangelism, but do we
lead stones?

345
00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:56,780
We talk generosity, but do we
actually give?

346
00:15:56,940 --> 00:15:58,700
Then the Lord is not rebuking us.

347
00:15:58,700 --> 00:15:59,740
He's testing us.

348
00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:02,500
But how many of you believe
that we're going to go from immature

349
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:03,180
to mature?

350
00:16:03,260 --> 00:16:06,100
And how many of you believe
we're going to stop responding out

351
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:10,260
of a wound, and we're going to
allow Jesus to absorb it, reverse

352
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:12,620
it, and heal it so we can be
the real deal?

353
00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:14,540
Anybody want to be the real
deal with me?

354
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:16,880
Come on.

355
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,760
So right there in the chaos,
before anything's resolved, before

356
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,800
even Peter learns his lesson,
God heals.

357
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,280
Listen, what our fight
creates, aren't you thankful for

358
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,039
his grace?

359
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,120
He heals what our fight creates.

360
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,880
That's how good he is.

361
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,240
But we've got to let him in
the next one is flight.

362
00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:42,430
It's the courtyard.

363
00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:45,630
This all happens within 18
hours, which is crazy to me.

364
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:47,550
Peter is jacked up.

365
00:16:47,630 --> 00:16:49,230
I think he is.

366
00:16:49,230 --> 00:16:52,510
So that's why I love him as an
example, is because he's one of the

367
00:16:52,510 --> 00:16:55,470
few people in the Bible that
has more trauma than me, apparently.

368
00:16:57,230 --> 00:16:59,710
So look at Luke 22:54.

369
00:17:00,350 --> 00:17:02,270
Peter followed at a distance.

370
00:17:02,750 --> 00:17:04,270
The guards lit a fire.

371
00:17:04,270 --> 00:17:07,270
Now, if you have your Bible
and you're comfortable writing in

372
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:08,830
your Bible, circle the word fire.

373
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:13,230
The guards light a fire in the
middle of the courtyard, and they

374
00:17:13,230 --> 00:17:15,550
sat around it, and Peter
joined them there.

375
00:17:15,630 --> 00:17:17,990
And then a servant girl, not a woman.

376
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:22,270
A girl noticed him in the
firelight and begins staring at him.

377
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:28,190
And she said, this man was one
of Jesus followers.

378
00:17:28,430 --> 00:17:29,790
But Peter denied it.

379
00:17:29,790 --> 00:17:30,190
Woman.

380
00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:32,230
He said, I don't even know him.

381
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:34,510
As a matter of fact, this will preach.

382
00:17:35,550 --> 00:17:39,870
The Bible says she's a servant
girl, but Peter calls her a woman.

383
00:17:40,110 --> 00:17:43,470
Your wound will always
graduate your problem bigger than

384
00:17:43,470 --> 00:17:44,270
it really is.

385
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:48,350
That's biblical revelation.

386
00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:53,150
The Bible calls her a girl,
and then Peter calls her a woman.

387
00:17:53,230 --> 00:17:55,310
Your wound is always gonna
make it.

388
00:17:55,310 --> 00:17:56,590
Bigger than it really is.

389
00:17:57,470 --> 00:17:58,510
Let's stop there.

390
00:17:58,910 --> 00:18:00,510
Then he says, I don't even
know him.

391
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:01,590
And a few.

392
00:18:01,750 --> 00:18:04,110
This is a few hours after the
sword, by the way.

393
00:18:04,110 --> 00:18:05,510
He is failing big.

394
00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:08,550
He just did the sword situation.

395
00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:10,950
Now he's already doing this.

396
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:13,510
And the fight response didn't work.

397
00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:18,550
The mob arrested Jesus
anyways, and now Peter is alone by

398
00:18:18,550 --> 00:18:19,030
himself.

399
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:22,870
And the little servant girl,
the most socially powerless person

400
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:26,930
in that courtyard, points at
him and says, you were with him and

401
00:18:26,930 --> 00:18:28,650
Peter hours ago.

402
00:18:29,050 --> 00:18:31,850
Who's gangsta with this glock?

403
00:18:31,850 --> 00:18:34,130
I mean, he's getting ready to
pistol whip somebody.

404
00:18:34,130 --> 00:18:36,210
He's like, he's coming out
full Tupac.

405
00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:38,290
Like, this dude is like, yeah,
do it.

406
00:18:38,290 --> 00:18:38,570
Come.

407
00:18:38,570 --> 00:18:39,930
He's ready to take them all on.

408
00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:47,530
Now, hours later, he is in
another central nervous system dysregulation

409
00:18:48,330 --> 00:18:49,450
called flight.

410
00:18:50,010 --> 00:18:53,960
Because why he learned the
that fight doesn't work.

411
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,840
So what happens when people
join a church?

412
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,440
In their previous church
experience, man, it got quiet, didn't

413
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:00,760
it?

414
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,240
In their previous church
experience, they fought.

415
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,840
I'm gonna try to stay.

416
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,800
I'm gonna fight.

417
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,440
I'm gonna talk to the pastor,
I'm gonna talk to the leaders.

418
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,160
And then what happened is the
hurt multiplied.

419
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,840
Things didn't work out right.

420
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,120
And then they say, you know what?

421
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:18,920
I tried to set to cut the
centurion's ear off.

422
00:19:19,290 --> 00:19:20,090
That didn't work out.

423
00:19:20,170 --> 00:19:21,850
I'm gonna try a new strategy.

424
00:19:21,850 --> 00:19:22,530
I'm gonna run.

425
00:19:22,530 --> 00:19:23,610
I'm just gonna leave.

426
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:26,090
We do this in relationships.

427
00:19:26,490 --> 00:19:28,170
We fight for the relationship.

428
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:29,610
We fight with the person.

429
00:19:29,770 --> 00:19:31,530
We think we're doing the right thing.

430
00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:33,290
I mean, this is the story of Peter.

431
00:19:33,290 --> 00:19:35,050
It's right versus right versus right.

432
00:19:35,210 --> 00:19:37,010
Peter thought he was helping Jesus.

433
00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:39,810
When he swiped the ear, he
thought he was helping somebody.

434
00:19:39,810 --> 00:19:41,130
This is how church life is.

435
00:19:41,130 --> 00:19:42,690
Nobody thinks they're the gossip.

436
00:19:42,690 --> 00:19:44,170
They think they're the truth teller.

437
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:46,610
Everybody's swinging their
sword, cutting ears off.

438
00:19:46,610 --> 00:19:48,920
Everybody thinks they're the
one doing right.

439
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,920
Oh, I'm gonna mess your whole
world up today.

440
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,760
This is how it is in a marriage.

441
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,360
I've never met a married
couple on the verge of divorce who's.

442
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,280
And the husband sits there and
says, this whole thing's my fault.

443
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,680
It's always that woman, and
she did this.

444
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,960
And if she would have done that.

445
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,280
And it's the woman blaming.

446
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,560
So this is right versus right,
not right versus wrong.

447
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,360
But the Bible says that there
is truth with a capital T. So it

448
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:16,640
can't just be your version of
right versus someone else's version

449
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,120
of right.

450
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,680
It is the Bible's version of truth.

451
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,880
And let every other person be
a liar and let God's word be the

452
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,920
only standard.

453
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,320
Can somebody say Amen to that?

454
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,800
That's why we need the word
rightly divided like never before.

455
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,200
Because he's not physically
still standing there, but emotionally

456
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,230
and relationally and
spiritually, he flows.

457
00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:47,540
And this is why the church is
so divided across America.

458
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:51,340
Because we come in wounded
with previous experiences.

459
00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:53,940
And when fight didn't work, we
switched to flight.

460
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:57,740
This is why the divorce rate
is more than half amongst married

461
00:20:57,740 --> 00:20:58,180
couples.

462
00:20:58,420 --> 00:20:59,380
Because we just.

463
00:20:59,460 --> 00:20:59,860
We.

464
00:20:59,940 --> 00:21:02,180
When fight didn't work, we flight.

465
00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:04,100
This is what we come on.

466
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:07,020
And so this is the first
denial, then the second, then the

467
00:21:07,020 --> 00:21:07,940
oath, then the third.

468
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,080
This is the flight response.

469
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,040
And it doesn't always look
like running, though, because I want

470
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,320
to make sure I give you a
complete understanding of this.

471
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,600
Sometimes it looks like
disappearing in place.

472
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,120
Y' all gotta catch this.

473
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,360
There's a phenomenon that's
happening where people are not quitting

474
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:33,160
their jobs, but they are
protesting by not working on the

475
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:33,520
clock.

476
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,760
And what happens is they say,
I'm not going to physically move,

477
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,640
but mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually, I'm disconnected.

478
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,640
They do it on the job.

479
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,120
There's people who said, you
know what?

480
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,480
I used to be really involved
in V1 church.

481
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,040
I tried interpersonal conflict happen.

482
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,960
I didn't see eye to eye with leaders.

483
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:55,120
And so I'm not gonna leave the
church, but I'm gonna silently remain.

484
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,240
And I'm in a flight response
where I'm gone, my energy's gone,

485
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:05,140
my talent is gone, my treasure
is gone, but I'm physically there.

486
00:22:05,140 --> 00:22:09,300
And this is what you see from
Peter is Peter leaves the presence

487
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:10,020
of this girl.

488
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:14,420
He's still in Jerusalem, but,
but he's checked out as a disciple.

489
00:22:14,420 --> 00:22:16,819
He's like, Jesus, you're not
getting my energy.

490
00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:19,460
You're not, I, I tried for
you, Jesus.

491
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:20,740
I swung my sword.

492
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:22,860
I walked with you all over the Galilee.

493
00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:26,620
I, I, I was a part of the
ministry, but now I'm gonna, I'm,

494
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:30,880
I'm not gonna fit physically
leave Jerusalem, but mentally, emotionally

495
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,560
and physically, you know, I'm
just gonna, I'm just gonna go into

496
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,880
a freeze response where I'm
just a warm body in a geographic

497
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,440
location.

498
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,760
It's like a marriage where you
haven't had sex for years.

499
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,880
I'm not gonna get a divorce,
but I'll be sleeping in the other

500
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,240
room.

501
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,480
It's like a marriage where
you, you say, well, I'm not gonna

502
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,840
get a divorce, but I don't
even want to attempt to have a deep

503
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,860
con, no emotional depth.

504
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:02,540
There's no mental depth.

505
00:23:02,620 --> 00:23:06,180
There's no but there's,
there's a physical presence, but

506
00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:08,700
it's, it's just a warm body, everything.

507
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,860
I'm not going to put effort
into this marriage.

508
00:23:11,260 --> 00:23:14,900
And why do I keep juxtaposing
a marriage with the church?

509
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:16,780
Because we are the bride of Christ.

510
00:23:16,940 --> 00:23:19,060
So you're not doing it to V1 church.

511
00:23:19,060 --> 00:23:21,980
You're doing it to the groom,
who is Jesus Christ.

512
00:23:22,140 --> 00:23:26,620
And so no church, the true
church of Jesus Christ, can be built

513
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:26,840
in.

514
00:23:26,990 --> 00:23:30,910
If there are people who are in
a fight response thinking that they're

515
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:33,990
right in their fight, when
Jesus is like, I didn't tell you

516
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:34,910
to fight that way.

517
00:23:35,310 --> 00:23:39,590
Or a flight response where
you're physically attending, but

518
00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:45,070
none of your other facilities
are attending, just like a marriage.

519
00:23:45,630 --> 00:23:48,310
And it doesn't surprise me
that more than half of marriages

520
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:49,550
end of divorce.

521
00:23:49,870 --> 00:23:53,310
Because you see that same
fragmentation in the body of Christ

522
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:55,110
with the bride and the groom.

523
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:57,310
Can I bring it home today, y'?

524
00:23:57,310 --> 00:23:57,510
All?

525
00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:59,510
Is this helping you?

526
00:24:00,070 --> 00:24:01,110
It's like a surgery.

527
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:03,430
You're like, I don't know, I'm
bleeding all over this table.

528
00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:07,910
I'll tell you later if this
helped or not, but I love you.

529
00:24:08,550 --> 00:24:13,470
And I love you enough to tell
you that if you keep living your

530
00:24:13,470 --> 00:24:18,150
life in response to a wound,
you'll accomplish things that you

531
00:24:18,150 --> 00:24:20,630
call success, but the kingdom
calls failure.

532
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:24,390
And this is what God is trying
to do is heal you.

533
00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:29,790
Because if he can get you on
the other side of this, whom the

534
00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:34,070
sun sets free is free indeed.

535
00:24:35,270 --> 00:24:36,310
And here's the thing.

536
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:42,150
When you are in this flight
response, disconnecting from that

537
00:24:42,150 --> 00:24:46,030
thing that matters most to
you, it feels like, well, that's

538
00:24:46,030 --> 00:24:46,870
too dangerous.

539
00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:48,150
So I'll compromise.

540
00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:52,500
And that fight wound said you
can't make me feel powerless.

541
00:24:52,980 --> 00:24:54,740
You can't make me feel powerless.

542
00:24:54,740 --> 00:24:58,220
I'm gonna fix this church, I'm
gonna fix this marriage, I'm gonna

543
00:24:58,220 --> 00:24:59,260
fix my workplace.

544
00:24:59,260 --> 00:25:00,660
That's the fight response.

545
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:05,020
But the flight wound, the
flight wound says I would rather

546
00:25:05,020 --> 00:25:07,380
lose everything than be exposed.

547
00:25:09,540 --> 00:25:12,860
As a matter of fact, if I just
stay here in this church and don't

548
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:14,820
do anything, nobody can expose me.

549
00:25:14,820 --> 00:25:17,300
If I fly under the radar at
the job, my.

550
00:25:17,630 --> 00:25:20,110
They can't expose me if I just
do the bare minimums.

551
00:25:20,110 --> 00:25:21,310
And that is what that is.

552
00:25:21,310 --> 00:25:23,230
It's basically I can't be exposed.

553
00:25:23,310 --> 00:25:25,990
And these, these are, are not
different people.

554
00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:27,830
This is literally the same Peter.

555
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:30,910
So we all have tendencies to
switch it up.

556
00:25:31,150 --> 00:25:35,630
Because fight and flight are
often the same wound, wearing different

557
00:25:35,630 --> 00:25:37,230
clothes on a different day.

558
00:25:38,190 --> 00:25:44,030
Both are fear driven, both are
self protective and both are automations.

559
00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:45,460
Not a choice.

560
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:46,740
That's what I'm trying to help
you understand.

561
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:49,380
You think that you're choosing it.

562
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:53,420
It's like you don't know
you're doing it until you suffer

563
00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:55,060
the consequences of what you did.

564
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:58,740
Like Peter, when he swung that
sword, he did that on automatic because

565
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:03,340
he was the first one to react
when he ran from that girl.

566
00:26:03,340 --> 00:26:07,060
He did that on autopilot
because he just jumped up from that

567
00:26:07,060 --> 00:26:09,380
fire pit and he just walked away.

568
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,940
And notice where Peter is
standing during all three of those

569
00:26:12,940 --> 00:26:13,500
denials.

570
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:16,060
This is why I told you to
circle it in your Bible.

571
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:18,220
He is standing by a fire.

572
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:19,780
Now the Greek word.

573
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:21,100
I want, I want to show you this.

574
00:26:21,340 --> 00:26:28,580
The Greek word for that
particular fire is anthracia and

575
00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:30,060
it's a charcoal fire.

576
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:32,620
Now this is very, very intentional.

577
00:26:32,620 --> 00:26:35,140
Now as a matter of fact, if
you're a note taker, you might want

578
00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:38,390
to write that word down in
your notes right now because we're

579
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:40,150
going to come back to it in a
few moments.

580
00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:44,390
And it's the single most
important word in this entire sermon

581
00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:45,750
because it's once you understand.

582
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:47,350
This blew my mind.

583
00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:51,070
I just got done doing master's
level Greek and it whooped my butt.

584
00:26:51,070 --> 00:26:54,950
But this sermon is the gift,
it is the reward of getting my butt

585
00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:56,630
whooped by master's level Greek.

586
00:26:56,710 --> 00:26:58,470
Because once I saw this.

587
00:26:58,630 --> 00:27:01,430
It absolutely blew my mind.

588
00:27:01,830 --> 00:27:02,870
No pun intended.

589
00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:03,750
Okay, you ready?

590
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:05,500
Freeze is the last one.

591
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:06,700
Let's look at freeze.

592
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,060
Freeze is the empty boat.

593
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:11,100
This all happened within 18 hours.

594
00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:14,540
John, chapter 21, verses 1
through 3.

595
00:27:14,780 --> 00:27:17,580
Simon Peter said, I'm going fishing.

596
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:21,820
Well, come to, and we'll come to.

597
00:27:21,820 --> 00:27:25,580
They all said as a matter of,
oh, can we look at this?

598
00:27:25,740 --> 00:27:29,020
Simon Peter said, I'm going fishing.

599
00:27:29,910 --> 00:27:31,910
I'm leaving V1 Church.

600
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:33,990
I'm starting a Bible study.

601
00:27:34,390 --> 00:27:36,310
I'm starting my own ministry.

602
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:38,390
I'm going to a home church.

603
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:39,190
I'm.

604
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:41,750
I'm deconstructing.

605
00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:44,870
I'm going back to lgbtq.

606
00:27:45,269 --> 00:27:46,950
I'm going to Catholicism.

607
00:27:47,190 --> 00:27:48,870
I'm going to Orthodox.

608
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:49,350
I'm.

609
00:27:49,430 --> 00:27:50,390
Are y' all following?

610
00:27:50,390 --> 00:27:50,750
What?

611
00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:52,470
Are you picking up on what I'm
putting down?

612
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,550
I'm stepping down from serving.

613
00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:56,285
I'm quitting my tithe.

614
00:27:56,285 --> 00:27:58,330
I. I'm just bold enough to say it.

615
00:27:58,330 --> 00:28:02,890
See, the thing was, Peter had
an undeniable grace on his life to

616
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:03,210
lead.

617
00:28:03,290 --> 00:28:09,210
And even when he was in a
freeze response, he was leading people

618
00:28:09,370 --> 00:28:13,210
into the wrong direction
because they said, we'll come too.

619
00:28:14,890 --> 00:28:16,930
We'll go to your Bible study too.

620
00:28:16,930 --> 00:28:18,730
We'll go to your home church, too.

621
00:28:18,810 --> 00:28:20,970
We'll go to the church down
the street, too.

622
00:28:21,050 --> 00:28:23,010
But Peter was out of pocket.

623
00:28:23,010 --> 00:28:26,890
And God doesn't bless action
outside of his will.

624
00:28:27,210 --> 00:28:29,450
Jesus said, I don't do my will.

625
00:28:29,610 --> 00:28:31,850
I do the will of my father.

626
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:35,890
But what you see Peter do is
when he cuts the ear off, that was

627
00:28:35,890 --> 00:28:37,690
his plan, not God's.

628
00:28:37,770 --> 00:28:40,929
When he runs away from the
little girl to save his life, that

629
00:28:40,929 --> 00:28:42,570
was his plan, not God's.

630
00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:45,290
And his fishing trip, he even recruited.

631
00:28:45,290 --> 00:28:46,570
People to as well.

632
00:28:46,810 --> 00:28:50,330
You will always recruit people
to carnal decisions.

633
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,680
You never go fishing alone, man.

634
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,680
Are y' all hearing me?

635
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Whatever it is, you recruit
people to it, we'll come too.

636
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:03,640
And they.

637
00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:09,720
They all said, demonic unity.

638
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,280
Don't ever underestimate the
power of carnality and demonic unity.

639
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,320
It's funny, because you'll
call a prayer strike at the local

640
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,020
church, and.

641
00:29:18,170 --> 00:29:21,130
And only 4% come, and most
your leaders don't.

642
00:29:21,130 --> 00:29:24,770
But you call a gossip dinner
to talk about people from the church,

643
00:29:24,770 --> 00:29:27,650
and everybody's like, I'll be
getting off of work early for this

644
00:29:27,650 --> 00:29:28,010
one.

645
00:29:28,890 --> 00:29:29,610
Am I right?

646
00:29:30,730 --> 00:29:35,530
This is important to tell you,
though, because look at the phenomenon.

647
00:29:35,530 --> 00:29:37,890
And many have never even
understood this was happening.

648
00:29:37,890 --> 00:29:40,570
But when you understand fight,
flight, and freeze.

649
00:29:40,810 --> 00:29:41,850
And this is my own.

650
00:29:42,090 --> 00:29:44,170
This is like 10 years of my
home therapy.

651
00:29:44,690 --> 00:29:45,890
I paid for this sermon.

652
00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:46,690
Let me Tell you.

653
00:29:47,730 --> 00:29:49,170
Cause I am Peter.

654
00:29:49,250 --> 00:29:50,450
It's why I see it.

655
00:29:50,450 --> 00:29:52,730
I'm the subject of every
sermon I ever preached you.

656
00:29:52,730 --> 00:29:55,770
So if you think I'm talking to
you, I'm talking to a version of

657
00:29:55,770 --> 00:29:59,650
myself that I discipline into
somebody who could preach this with

658
00:29:59,650 --> 00:30:00,210
authority.

659
00:30:02,370 --> 00:30:04,450
Y' all ain't even preaching
back to me today.

660
00:30:04,610 --> 00:30:05,330
So quiet.

661
00:30:07,570 --> 00:30:09,570
The resurrection has happened.

662
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:11,820
Jesus now has appeared.

663
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:13,420
The tomb is empty.

664
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:15,140
Everything changed.

665
00:30:15,140 --> 00:30:17,740
And Peter has not changed.

666
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,660
Resurrection power.

667
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:22,060
Jesus is fully alive from the grave.

668
00:30:22,060 --> 00:30:24,940
And yet Peter, he goes fishing.

669
00:30:25,340 --> 00:30:26,820
There's no excuse for it.

670
00:30:26,820 --> 00:30:27,660
He chose it.

671
00:30:27,740 --> 00:30:31,780
A church could be in revival
and people can still go leave to

672
00:30:31,780 --> 00:30:32,300
fishing.

673
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,460
The resurrection power of God
could be in this place with healings

674
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:37,950
and deliverance, and people
will still go fishing.

675
00:30:38,030 --> 00:30:39,030
This is a message.

676
00:30:39,030 --> 00:30:43,350
You could be in marriage with
a woman that every other guy wants,

677
00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:44,590
but you don't want her.

678
00:30:44,590 --> 00:30:45,670
You want to go fishing?

679
00:30:45,670 --> 00:30:45,990
Come on.

680
00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:47,550
I'm talking to somebody right now.

681
00:30:48,030 --> 00:30:52,510
You could be working a job
that somebody else put 50 applications

682
00:30:52,510 --> 00:30:54,070
and still didn't get the job.

683
00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:55,790
But you want to go fishing.

684
00:30:55,950 --> 00:30:59,550
This is the freeze response
where we don't want to deal with

685
00:30:59,550 --> 00:31:03,560
life and we have to learn how
to regulate our central nervous system

686
00:31:03,710 --> 00:31:06,430
system said no Pentecostal
preacher ever.

687
00:31:09,630 --> 00:31:11,630
This is the freeze response.

688
00:31:11,950 --> 00:31:15,070
I think it's quiet today
because I'm the first pastor to ever

689
00:31:15,070 --> 00:31:16,030
lead you like this.

690
00:31:16,990 --> 00:31:18,830
And I don't care if you go to
our church.

691
00:31:18,910 --> 00:31:21,990
This church is already 50
times bigger than we ever planned.

692
00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:23,390
My wife and I planned for a.

693
00:31:23,390 --> 00:31:25,910
We would have private
conversations where we.

694
00:31:25,910 --> 00:31:28,190
We on our pillow talk, husband
and wife.

695
00:31:28,190 --> 00:31:31,980
And we'd say if we get 150
people Disciple in New York City,

696
00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:34,180
Metro, by the time we die, we
did a good job.

697
00:31:34,180 --> 00:31:34,860
Am I right?

698
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:36,380
So this is not.

699
00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:40,580
This is not a ploy to get you
to do things for us.

700
00:31:40,580 --> 00:31:42,060
This is not manipulation.

701
00:31:42,220 --> 00:31:43,740
This is the word of God.

702
00:31:43,740 --> 00:31:48,220
And what we see in the life of
the disciples is Jesus walking them

703
00:31:48,220 --> 00:31:49,900
through healing processes.

704
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:53,140
But because they were not
physical healings, y' all missed

705
00:31:53,140 --> 00:31:53,420
it.

706
00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:56,940
We need the emotional healing.

707
00:31:57,490 --> 00:31:58,890
We need the mental healing.

708
00:31:58,890 --> 00:31:59,490
Am I right?

709
00:32:00,130 --> 00:32:02,130
And this is the freeze response.

710
00:32:02,290 --> 00:32:06,330
And of the three, I think it's
the most dangerous because it looks

711
00:32:06,330 --> 00:32:07,650
like the most reasonable.

712
00:32:07,970 --> 00:32:09,290
Peter's not raging.

713
00:32:09,290 --> 00:32:10,930
He's not throwing dishes at the.

714
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:12,650
He's not punching a hole in
the wall.

715
00:32:12,650 --> 00:32:15,810
He ain't lying anymore like he
did to that little girl.

716
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:17,410
And some of y' all are liars.

717
00:32:17,410 --> 00:32:19,410
And you know, you know we got
a lie and pro.

718
00:32:19,410 --> 00:32:21,170
He ain't lying no more.

719
00:32:21,410 --> 00:32:22,130
And And.

720
00:32:22,210 --> 00:32:23,030
But now he.

721
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:24,300
He's just going fishing.

722
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:26,060
I'm just doing my own thing.

723
00:32:26,060 --> 00:32:27,580
It looks the most reasonable.

724
00:32:28,220 --> 00:32:29,020
But this is it.

725
00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:29,380
Come on.

726
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:31,740
Even the babies recognize this
sermon here today.

727
00:32:33,260 --> 00:32:38,700
And when shame goes deep
enough, when the failure feels too

728
00:32:38,939 --> 00:32:42,620
total, the freeze response
doesn't make us lash out.

729
00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:44,620
It doesn't make us run away.

730
00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:47,020
It makes us go backwards.

731
00:32:47,180 --> 00:32:48,220
Are you hearing me?

732
00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:53,030
It makes us return to an
identity that we thought we left.

733
00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:56,870
And this is what it tells you
in a real quiet voice.

734
00:32:57,910 --> 00:32:59,110
You had your chance.

735
00:33:00,310 --> 00:33:04,469
You already tried at other
churches, you already tried in other

736
00:33:04,469 --> 00:33:05,430
relationships.

737
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:09,110
You already tried at other
jobs, and you blew it.

738
00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:11,350
And nothing you did made it better.

739
00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:14,870
This is always how it's gonna
be anyways.

740
00:33:15,620 --> 00:33:19,540
So just make your own little
comfortable life within this and

741
00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:21,140
freeze and don't try at all.

742
00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:22,300
And Peter.

743
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,700
This is the crazy part.

744
00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:31,060
Peter catches nothing all
night because God doesn't bless alternative

745
00:33:31,220 --> 00:33:31,780
plans.

746
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:35,860
The house churches, they fold up.

747
00:33:36,260 --> 00:33:38,500
The Bible studies disband.

748
00:33:38,820 --> 00:33:42,230
I'm telling you this because
I've seen it for years and years

749
00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:42,710
and years.

750
00:33:42,790 --> 00:33:44,230
The gossip circles.

751
00:33:44,870 --> 00:33:48,110
They first start feasting on
someone else, and then when they

752
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:51,430
run out of someone else's
flesh to eat, they turn on each other

753
00:33:51,510 --> 00:33:53,830
and they cannibalize and eat
each other.

754
00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:57,030
And so I've never had to mess
with any of that stuff.

755
00:33:57,030 --> 00:33:59,990
Because those people, they
see, what happens is.

756
00:33:59,990 --> 00:34:01,590
Let me make it biblical for you.

757
00:34:01,670 --> 00:34:03,750
Peter swings his sword on the soldier.

758
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:06,790
But if all those people keep
swinging their swords, everybody

759
00:34:06,790 --> 00:34:07,510
ends up dead.

760
00:34:07,870 --> 00:34:12,630
That's why Jesus said, if you
live by the sword, you revelate right

761
00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:12,910
now.

762
00:34:13,070 --> 00:34:15,390
So Jesus is like, you don't
understand, Peter.

763
00:34:15,710 --> 00:34:19,990
Your action will cause a
consequence, and everybody here ends

764
00:34:19,990 --> 00:34:20,590
up dead.

765
00:34:20,910 --> 00:34:22,670
Somebody's got to reconcile.

766
00:34:22,670 --> 00:34:25,990
So when you think that you're
righteously doing something, if God's

767
00:34:25,990 --> 00:34:28,110
not in it, it always fails.

768
00:34:29,390 --> 00:34:33,150
That's why we don't have to be
the ones who enact justice.

769
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:37,150
Because if they're feasting on
friends, if they're feasting on leaders,

770
00:34:37,150 --> 00:34:39,730
if they're feasting on
pastors, and it's only a matter of

771
00:34:39,730 --> 00:34:41,250
time till they feast on each other.

772
00:34:41,250 --> 00:34:44,810
They're like piranhas in a
pool without something else to eat.

773
00:34:44,810 --> 00:34:45,810
They eat each other.

774
00:34:47,170 --> 00:34:47,890
And I just.

775
00:34:48,050 --> 00:34:48,450
Some.

776
00:34:48,530 --> 00:34:52,610
Sometimes what you got to do
is step away from that mess.

777
00:34:53,650 --> 00:34:59,130
And the man who left
everything to basically go back to

778
00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:01,770
fishing, he's in that boat.

779
00:35:01,770 --> 00:35:02,930
He catches nothing.

780
00:35:03,410 --> 00:35:05,170
His ministry doesn't succeed.

781
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,360
None of it ever succeeds.

782
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,800
That's why I've watched it
over and over and over again.

783
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,840
I'm leaving to do my own thing.

784
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:13,920
I'm going here.

785
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,040
And did the Lord commission
you to do this?

786
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,200
And there's no grace on it.

787
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,400
Just like this fishing.

788
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,640
He goes back to the thing that
he was even an expert on.

789
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,840
But there's no grace on expertise.

790
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,240
There's grace on spiritual authority.

791
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Am I preaching too deep for you?

792
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:32,960
There's.

793
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:33,720
There's the.

794
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:38,480
When David killed Goliath,
there were military experts that

795
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,800
were shaken in their boots.

796
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,920
It wasn't about the means by
which David killed the.

797
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:43,560
The giant.

798
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,040
It was by the anointing that
he did it.

799
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,360
Because the grace is on the anointing.

800
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,000
So people will leave a
relationship saying, I'm an expert

801
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,040
on relationships.

802
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,840
But every other relationship
fails because there's no grace on

803
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,280
that division where it started.

804
00:35:58,730 --> 00:36:00,690
There's people that'll leave a
church, but.

805
00:36:00,690 --> 00:36:03,450
Everything they start is
mediocre and fails.

806
00:36:03,450 --> 00:36:06,410
Because the anointing is not
on expertise.

807
00:36:06,410 --> 00:36:08,170
The anointing is on authority.

808
00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:10,250
The anointing is on a person's life.

809
00:36:10,250 --> 00:36:11,570
You can't skip the way.

810
00:36:11,570 --> 00:36:15,530
And God was trying to tell
Peter, I have an anointing on your

811
00:36:15,530 --> 00:36:15,850
life.

812
00:36:15,850 --> 00:36:18,330
Don't use it to lead people astray.

813
00:36:18,490 --> 00:36:20,250
Don't use it to hurt people.

814
00:36:20,570 --> 00:36:22,250
Submit to my authority.

815
00:36:22,410 --> 00:36:26,510
And some of us have to stop
submitting to our own plans, our

816
00:36:26,510 --> 00:36:30,830
own strategy, our own college
degrees, our own wisdom.

817
00:36:30,830 --> 00:36:33,070
The wisdom of man leads to death.

818
00:36:33,310 --> 00:36:35,150
But the way of God is life.

819
00:36:35,230 --> 00:36:38,750
He wants to give you life and
life more abundantly, but you got

820
00:36:38,750 --> 00:36:42,750
to submit to God and say, am I
living in a fight response?

821
00:36:42,830 --> 00:36:45,070
Am I living in a flight response?

822
00:36:45,070 --> 00:36:47,310
Am I living in a freeze response?

823
00:36:47,310 --> 00:36:49,390
But I got one more F for you.

824
00:36:49,470 --> 00:36:53,790
It's Father, am I living in
the Father's response?

825
00:36:54,110 --> 00:36:58,490
Whatever the Father tells me
to do, wherever the Father tells

826
00:36:58,490 --> 00:37:03,130
me to go, whatever the Father
tells me to give, whoever the Father

827
00:37:03,130 --> 00:37:07,690
tells me to submit to, I
respond to the Father.

828
00:37:08,330 --> 00:37:13,610
Not my central nervous system,
not my wounds, not my past.

829
00:37:14,089 --> 00:37:17,210
I respond to the Father.

830
00:37:20,490 --> 00:37:25,370
The Father response, you ain't
going to get that in most therapy

831
00:37:25,370 --> 00:37:25,770
sessions.

832
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:31,400
There's the fight response,
the flight response, the freeze response,

833
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,520
and then there's the father response.

834
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,080
And I want to respond to the Father.

835
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,240
I feel this in me 38 years at
a pool.

836
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:45,320
Last week we talked about, now
we got a career fisherman going back

837
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:45,920
to the boat.

838
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,880
The same autopilot, a
different face, the same fate.

839
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,120
But there's only one answer.

840
00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:57,260
The man at the pool of
Bethesda has to look at the face

841
00:37:57,660 --> 00:38:01,660
of the Father through Jesus,
not at the Pool of Bethesda.

842
00:38:01,820 --> 00:38:04,540
Not at the people who's not
carrying him in the pool.

843
00:38:04,700 --> 00:38:06,340
Not the victim mindset.

844
00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:08,780
But he has to look at the face
of his Father.

845
00:38:08,780 --> 00:38:12,260
And if he can have an
encounter with Jesus, that encounter

846
00:38:12,260 --> 00:38:14,860
will tell him, pick up your
mat and walk.

847
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:16,940
Stand up, Pick up your mat and walk.

848
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:20,460
But if your encounter is with
people, you're gonna stay in that

849
00:38:20,460 --> 00:38:20,940
mat.

850
00:38:21,180 --> 00:38:24,580
If you're trying to get into a
pool instead of getting into his

851
00:38:24,580 --> 00:38:27,420
will through obedience, you're
going to stay on that mat.

852
00:38:27,580 --> 00:38:29,780
And now we got a new man named Peter.

853
00:38:29,780 --> 00:38:33,340
And Peter is always taking
matters into his own hands.

854
00:38:33,420 --> 00:38:35,500
I'll start the 501C3.

855
00:38:35,580 --> 00:38:38,220
I'll make the website, I'll
write the book.

856
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:41,380
I'll make the song, I'll go
here, I'll do that.

857
00:38:41,380 --> 00:38:43,980
He's always taken matters into
his own hand.

858
00:38:44,060 --> 00:38:48,670
But Jesus said, upon this
rock, I will establish my church.

859
00:38:48,990 --> 00:38:52,030
Not your idea, not your strategies.

860
00:38:52,350 --> 00:38:54,670
I will establish my church.

861
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:59,150
And see, what was happening
was that Peter was being demanded

862
00:38:59,150 --> 00:38:59,790
by Christ.

863
00:39:00,110 --> 00:39:02,350
Have a father encounter.

864
00:39:02,830 --> 00:39:04,350
You are not the Father.

865
00:39:04,430 --> 00:39:06,030
Learn how to be a son.

866
00:39:10,270 --> 00:39:14,190
And that is the problem, is
everybody wants to be a father.

867
00:39:14,190 --> 00:39:15,710
Nobody wants to be a son.

868
00:39:16,340 --> 00:39:19,300
Everybody wants to be a
teacher, Nobody wants to be a student.

869
00:39:19,540 --> 00:39:21,620
Everybody wants to be a
disciple maker.

870
00:39:21,620 --> 00:39:23,220
Nobody wants to be a disciple.

871
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:26,500
But the story is a story of
encountering the Father.

872
00:39:26,820 --> 00:39:29,420
And Peter kept getting big on
his britches.

873
00:39:29,420 --> 00:39:30,660
Isn't that all of us?

874
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:37,580
This is probably the area of
the most submission in my life.

875
00:39:37,580 --> 00:39:38,820
I'm telling on myself.

876
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:41,860
The thing that keeps
recalibrating this church.

877
00:39:42,970 --> 00:39:47,290
Me asking the question, Mike,
was that a fear response?

878
00:39:47,610 --> 00:39:49,210
Was it a flight response?

879
00:39:49,450 --> 00:39:51,050
Was it a freeze response?

880
00:39:51,130 --> 00:39:52,890
Or was it a father response?

881
00:39:53,450 --> 00:39:55,130
Man, I'm preaching to somebody.

882
00:39:55,130 --> 00:39:56,570
Is this helping anybody?

883
00:39:57,690 --> 00:39:58,249
Can I.

884
00:39:58,249 --> 00:39:59,610
Can I end this message.

885
00:40:02,170 --> 00:40:02,570
Now?

886
00:40:03,850 --> 00:40:05,690
Let's talk about that charcoal fire.

887
00:40:06,170 --> 00:40:08,650
John, chapter 21, verses 4
through 14.

888
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:11,500
So let's look at this at dawn.

889
00:40:11,740 --> 00:40:12,380
Jesus.

890
00:40:13,020 --> 00:40:14,460
Man, this makes me want to cry.

891
00:40:14,860 --> 00:40:17,020
Once I saw this, I couldn't
unsee it.

892
00:40:17,260 --> 00:40:22,140
At dawn, Jesus was standing on
the beach, but the disciples couldn't

893
00:40:22,140 --> 00:40:23,100
see who he was.

894
00:40:23,740 --> 00:40:27,580
He has been there the whole
time, the risen Christ.

895
00:40:27,820 --> 00:40:31,500
He's literally standing on the
shore watching seven disciples in

896
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:34,860
the boat who spent the entire
night trying to prove that they can

897
00:40:34,860 --> 00:40:35,820
do it without him.

898
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:36,060
And.

899
00:40:36,130 --> 00:40:37,170
And they caught nothing.

900
00:40:37,170 --> 00:40:38,130
He is the vine.

901
00:40:38,210 --> 00:40:39,490
We are the branches.

902
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:41,970
Apart from him, we are nothing.

903
00:40:42,050 --> 00:40:45,570
You can't fish, even as a
professional fisherman without him.

904
00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:46,690
He is everything.

905
00:40:47,090 --> 00:40:48,850
And he doesn't confront them.

906
00:40:49,010 --> 00:40:50,530
He doesn't Lecture them.

907
00:40:50,610 --> 00:40:51,890
He calls to them.

908
00:40:52,050 --> 00:40:56,050
Throw your nets on the right
hand side of the boat and you will

909
00:40:56,050 --> 00:40:58,370
catch something that you
cannot contain.

910
00:41:00,210 --> 00:41:01,730
153 fish.

911
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,760
The net didn't tear.

912
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:09,440
And then in John 21, verse 9,
when they got there, they found breakfast

913
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:10,560
waiting for them.

914
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,040
Fish cooking over a charcoal
fire and some bread.

915
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,640
And there it is now again.

916
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,760
Anthracia, the charcoal fire.

917
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:29,120
18 hours before, he's sitting
with the centurion soldiers.

918
00:41:29,730 --> 00:41:33,010
This word shows up only two
times in the entire New Testament.

919
00:41:34,290 --> 00:41:36,130
Think about how mind blowing
this is.

920
00:41:37,010 --> 00:41:39,650
It shows up when Jesus denies.

921
00:41:39,890 --> 00:41:43,090
When Peter denies Jesus in
front of soldiers.

922
00:41:43,810 --> 00:41:44,450
And then.

923
00:41:45,490 --> 00:41:46,610
This is crazy.

924
00:41:47,090 --> 00:41:48,490
He makes this breakfast.

925
00:41:48,490 --> 00:41:51,370
Jesus Christ, the risen
savior, makes this breakfast on the

926
00:41:51,370 --> 00:41:51,730
shore.

927
00:41:52,690 --> 00:41:53,730
Think about what I'm saying.

928
00:41:53,730 --> 00:42:00,470
In all four gospels, in Paul's
letters, in every letter ever written,

929
00:42:00,790 --> 00:42:04,630
there's only two times the
occurrence of anthracia.

930
00:42:05,110 --> 00:42:09,310
The courtyard where Peter
denied Jesus three times, warming

931
00:42:09,310 --> 00:42:11,030
himself by a charcoal fire.

932
00:42:11,350 --> 00:42:15,350
And then John 21:9, the
breakfast on the beach where Jesus

933
00:42:15,510 --> 00:42:18,230
meets Peter cooking over a
charcoal fire.

934
00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:22,560
And I don't believe that this
is a coincidence because the Bible

935
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:24,440
leaves nothing to coincidence.

936
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,440
How many of you believe every
word of the Bible is intentional?

937
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,160
Jesus did not meet Peter on
some random neutral territory.

938
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,760
He did not choose a
comfortable new location.

939
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,400
He didn't say let's go to the
new church.

940
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,880
He didn't say let's marry a
new person.

941
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,520
He didn't say let's go get a
new job.

942
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,320
He chose the same sensory
environment where Peter had failed.

943
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:48,800
Why?

944
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,840
Because smell is the most
powerful memory.

945
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,360
Trigger in the human brain.

946
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:53,830
So.

947
00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:57,500
So Peter would have walked up
to that shore and smelt that fire.

948
00:42:57,660 --> 00:43:00,860
And his brain would have
triggered him back to his worst failure.

949
00:43:00,940 --> 00:43:04,140
And Jesus Christ said, oh
yeah, do you smell what I'm.

950
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:05,060
What the rock is.

951
00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:05,820
Okay, come on.

952
00:43:05,980 --> 00:43:06,540
He was.

953
00:43:07,820 --> 00:43:13,580
He was basically saying that's
I am triggering you on purpose because

954
00:43:13,580 --> 00:43:17,580
I always heal in the same
place where you were hurt.

955
00:43:17,740 --> 00:43:20,700
I brought you back to the
charcoal fire.

956
00:43:20,940 --> 00:43:22,340
I want you to see it.

957
00:43:22,340 --> 00:43:23,820
I want you to smell it.

958
00:43:23,820 --> 00:43:27,340
I want you to experience
spirit because my healing will.

959
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:28,260
Oh, come on.

960
00:43:28,260 --> 00:43:32,420
I wish somebody would help me
preach this sermon and give God a

961
00:43:32,420 --> 00:43:33,900
10 second praise break.

962
00:43:33,980 --> 00:43:38,420
If you're thankful for him
triggering you, bringing you to the

963
00:43:38,420 --> 00:43:40,620
place of change in.

964
00:43:45,020 --> 00:43:45,340
You.

965
00:43:45,340 --> 00:43:45,660
Understand?

966
00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:58,310
Three times he denies Christ
with a fire, a charcoal fire, anthrachia.

967
00:43:58,310 --> 00:44:01,430
Then Jesus 18 hours later.

968
00:44:02,070 --> 00:44:04,190
Hey, come down here.

969
00:44:04,190 --> 00:44:05,510
I've got breakfast for you.

970
00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:11,350
And Peter unknowingly steps
down and walks into an encounter

971
00:44:11,350 --> 00:44:12,470
with the Father.

972
00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:14,390
He's Smelling it.

973
00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:19,320
This is just like the
environment where I failed.

974
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,120
This is just like where it
didn't work out.

975
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,280
Oh, yeah.

976
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:23,800
Jesus.

977
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,680
Take a seat.

978
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:25,720
Let's eat.

979
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:31,400
Let me just tell you, if you
keep running from your triggers,

980
00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:33,880
you are not avoiding your triggers.

981
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,640
You are delaying your healing.

982
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,600
Because wherever you go, there
you are.

983
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:42,600
There you are.

984
00:44:43,330 --> 00:44:44,450
Oh, I'll go to a new church.

985
00:44:44,450 --> 00:44:45,890
Your trigger is going to find
you there.

986
00:44:45,890 --> 00:44:47,090
It's just a matter of time.

987
00:44:47,090 --> 00:44:48,770
I'm going to go to a new relationship.

988
00:44:48,770 --> 00:44:51,730
Oh, that new chick, she's
going to trigger you too, homie.

989
00:44:51,810 --> 00:44:53,570
Wherever you go, there you are.

990
00:44:53,810 --> 00:44:54,850
Let me tell you why.

991
00:44:55,090 --> 00:44:59,250
Because step one is you come
out of Egypt, but step two is Egypt

992
00:44:59,250 --> 00:45:00,370
has to come out of you.

993
00:45:00,770 --> 00:45:04,410
If you come out of Egypt, but
Egypt doesn't come out of you, then

994
00:45:04,410 --> 00:45:08,570
you will make Egyptian culture
in the promised land and undo the

995
00:45:08,570 --> 00:45:09,090
promise.

996
00:45:09,170 --> 00:45:10,730
What if I told you it's less.

997
00:45:10,730 --> 00:45:13,090
About the environment on the
outside and.

998
00:45:13,090 --> 00:45:15,550
More about the environment on
the inside?

999
00:45:15,630 --> 00:45:19,510
What if I told you that there
are people that are in a far worse

1000
00:45:19,510 --> 00:45:23,510
external environment, but on
the inside, their thermometer and

1001
00:45:23,510 --> 00:45:26,790
their thermostat is working
because they've been healed of a

1002
00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:30,230
wound and the place that you
cursed has become a paradise for

1003
00:45:30,230 --> 00:45:30,510
them.

1004
00:45:30,750 --> 00:45:35,150
Because the Prince of Peace,
remember I told you it is not a 30

1005
00:45:35,150 --> 00:45:35,950
year process.

1006
00:45:36,430 --> 00:45:41,080
It is an encounter with a man,
a person named Jesus Christ.

1007
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,880
And when you have an encounter
with him, he will fix that thermostat.

1008
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,760
And then what happens with the
thermostat is you stop complaining

1009
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,560
about the atmosphere and you
start changing the atmosphere.

1010
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:56,519
But you don't change them, you
change yourself.

1011
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,400
It's the power of a praying wife.

1012
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,760
Not a nagging wife, not a
begging wife, not a complaining wife.

1013
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,270
I can't have my husband
praying, but I'm gonna pray.

1014
00:46:07,350 --> 00:46:10,310
I can't make him fast, but I'm
gonna fast.

1015
00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:14,390
I can't change my pastor, but
I'm gonna pray for my pastor.

1016
00:46:14,470 --> 00:46:16,310
I can't choose the way he's at.

1017
00:46:16,310 --> 00:46:16,830
Come on.

1018
00:46:16,830 --> 00:46:19,350
This is an anti Jezebel sermon.

1019
00:46:19,510 --> 00:46:21,830
This is an anti Ahab sermon.

1020
00:46:21,909 --> 00:46:24,550
This is how you end witchcraft
in the church.

1021
00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:27,590
When you say, God, I'm gonna
stop, control them.

1022
00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:30,390
Give me control over myself.

1023
00:46:31,030 --> 00:46:32,750
Reinstall that thermostat.

1024
00:46:32,820 --> 00:46:33,060
Understand?

1025
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:34,740
New York's not the problem.

1026
00:46:35,140 --> 00:46:36,100
I'm the problem.

1027
00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:39,060
V1 ain't the problem, I'm the problem.

1028
00:46:39,380 --> 00:46:40,820
My spouse ain't the problem.

1029
00:46:41,140 --> 00:46:42,100
I'm the problem.

1030
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:45,060
Come on, stop being a victim.

1031
00:46:46,580 --> 00:46:49,139
This message is going to
change somebody.

1032
00:47:41,031 --> 00:47:42,791
I got to show you one More thing.

1033
00:47:43,671 --> 00:47:45,191
I got to show you one more thing.

1034
00:47:47,201 --> 00:47:49,521
And Jesus cooked breakfast.

1035
00:47:50,161 --> 00:47:53,521
Anyways, how many of you see
the grace of God in this?

1036
00:47:53,521 --> 00:47:59,041
As we close every step of the
way, Peter cuts that ear off.

1037
00:47:59,441 --> 00:48:03,041
And Jesus absorbs it, reverses
it, and heals it.

1038
00:48:04,161 --> 00:48:08,561
Then Peter goes back to
fishing and Jesus shows up.

1039
00:48:08,881 --> 00:48:13,451
The grace and the mercy of our
Father is evident in our failures.

1040
00:48:13,451 --> 00:48:14,811
He just keeps coming back.

1041
00:48:15,291 --> 00:48:17,931
How many of you are so
thankful he hasn't given up on you?

1042
00:48:18,651 --> 00:48:23,691
See, the only way to increase
in pride is to decrease in your awareness

1043
00:48:23,931 --> 00:48:25,531
of his grace towards you.

1044
00:48:26,091 --> 00:48:26,531
Come on.

1045
00:48:26,531 --> 00:48:27,851
Am I talking to somebody?

1046
00:48:27,930 --> 00:48:30,731
The only way you can become
prideful is to.

1047
00:48:30,731 --> 00:48:34,331
Is to decrease in your
awareness of your salvation.

1048
00:48:34,731 --> 00:48:38,711
But the more you meditate on
his grace, the more you remind yourself

1049
00:48:38,711 --> 00:48:40,031
of what he saved you from.

1050
00:48:40,031 --> 00:48:41,911
You'll see he was there the
whole time.

1051
00:48:43,591 --> 00:48:47,991
God does not heal you away
from the memory of your failure.

1052
00:48:48,311 --> 00:48:50,631
He heals you in the middle of it.

1053
00:48:53,510 --> 00:48:54,271
I'm done, y'.

1054
00:48:54,271 --> 00:48:54,471
All.

1055
00:48:56,871 --> 00:48:58,791
John, chapter 21, verse 15.

1056
00:48:59,911 --> 00:49:03,881
After breakfast, Jesus asked
Simon Peter.

1057
00:49:04,351 --> 00:49:04,671
Now watch.

1058
00:49:04,671 --> 00:49:09,591
There's a sequence here
because the fire, remember that word,

1059
00:49:09,591 --> 00:49:11,551
only comes up twice in the New Testament.

1060
00:49:11,791 --> 00:49:12,791
So Jesus said, after.

1061
00:49:12,791 --> 00:49:14,191
Now, this is the altar call.

1062
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,711
So after the breakfast.

1063
00:49:15,711 --> 00:49:17,231
So he done had the food.

1064
00:49:17,311 --> 00:49:18,791
It's like, I'm ministering you now.

1065
00:49:18,791 --> 00:49:20,231
We're going to do the altar
call now.

1066
00:49:20,231 --> 00:49:21,791
I'm going to give you a chance
to respond.

1067
00:49:22,191 --> 00:49:25,511
And after breakfast, Jesus
asked, simon Peter, Simon, son of

1068
00:49:25,511 --> 00:49:27,631
John, do you love me more than these?

1069
00:49:28,031 --> 00:49:30,951
Yes, Lord, Peter replied, you
know I love you.

1070
00:49:31,111 --> 00:49:33,991
Then feed my lambs, Jesus told him.

1071
00:49:34,071 --> 00:49:35,511
Jesus repeated the question.

1072
00:49:35,751 --> 00:49:37,031
Simon, son of John.

1073
00:49:37,111 --> 00:49:37,511
Watch.

1074
00:49:38,391 --> 00:49:39,831
He doesn't call him what?

1075
00:49:41,431 --> 00:49:42,951
He doesn't call him Peter.

1076
00:49:43,591 --> 00:49:45,031
He calls him Simon.

1077
00:49:45,991 --> 00:49:50,551
I missed this many times
reading the text, but Jesus was saying,

1078
00:49:50,791 --> 00:49:55,231
I gave you the name Peter, but
I have to go back to the childhood

1079
00:49:55,231 --> 00:49:56,321
name to deal with.

1080
00:49:56,551 --> 00:49:58,351
With what came before I named you.

1081
00:49:58,351 --> 00:49:59,111
Oh, come on.

1082
00:49:59,431 --> 00:50:03,391
And so he says, I'm gonna call
you Simon because I'm gonna go back

1083
00:50:03,391 --> 00:50:04,311
into your past.

1084
00:50:04,631 --> 00:50:06,031
I'm not calling you Peter.

1085
00:50:06,031 --> 00:50:07,591
I gave you the name Peter.

1086
00:50:07,591 --> 00:50:11,591
But I need to heal Simon so
Simon can become Peter.

1087
00:50:11,591 --> 00:50:13,191
I'm gonna call you by your old.

1088
00:50:13,191 --> 00:50:15,191
Name so that you can own the
new name.

1089
00:50:15,431 --> 00:50:18,711
Because what happened is I
gave you the name before I changed

1090
00:50:18,711 --> 00:50:20,631
the nature and see what happens.

1091
00:50:20,871 --> 00:50:21,311
Come on.

1092
00:50:21,311 --> 00:50:21,831
I'm about to.

1093
00:50:22,071 --> 00:50:26,951
God will sometimes give you a
prophecy before you even have the

1094
00:50:26,951 --> 00:50:29,171
character prophecy out.

1095
00:50:29,331 --> 00:50:31,571
It doesn't make the prophecy false.

1096
00:50:31,891 --> 00:50:35,811
See, what happened was the
name was true, but the nature was

1097
00:50:35,811 --> 00:50:36,851
Still a liar.

1098
00:50:37,011 --> 00:50:41,091
God has brought some of you to
V1 church not to get a name change.

1099
00:50:41,251 --> 00:50:42,931
You already got your new name.

1100
00:50:43,011 --> 00:50:45,531
But it's time to get a new
nature God.

1101
00:50:45,531 --> 00:50:48,171
Change me, break me, mold me.

1102
00:50:48,171 --> 00:50:52,371
I need a nature change so I
can walk in the power of that new

1103
00:50:52,371 --> 00:50:52,771
name.

1104
00:50:53,731 --> 00:50:55,091
So look what he tells them.

1105
00:50:55,911 --> 00:50:56,391
Simon.

1106
00:50:56,791 --> 00:51:00,511
Simon, I'm going to tell you
your childhood name, then a third

1107
00:51:00,511 --> 00:51:00,831
time.

1108
00:51:00,831 --> 00:51:02,151
Everybody say a third time.

1109
00:51:02,711 --> 00:51:04,631
Simon, son of John, do you
love me?

1110
00:51:04,871 --> 00:51:07,391
Peter was hurt that Jesus
asked the third time.

1111
00:51:07,391 --> 00:51:09,591
And he said, lord, you know everything.

1112
00:51:10,071 --> 00:51:11,351
You know that I love you.

1113
00:51:11,671 --> 00:51:15,111
And Jesus said, then feed my
sheep three times.

1114
00:51:15,911 --> 00:51:16,631
Three times.

1115
00:51:17,191 --> 00:51:17,871
Three times.

1116
00:51:17,871 --> 00:51:19,031
Peter says, yes.

1117
00:51:19,511 --> 00:51:22,391
Three denials become three declarations.

1118
00:51:22,951 --> 00:51:25,671
Three denials become three declarations.

1119
00:51:26,231 --> 00:51:28,871
Three denials become three declarations.

1120
00:51:28,871 --> 00:51:31,391
I'm gonna keep on saying it
for as many times.

1121
00:51:31,391 --> 00:51:34,631
As you've cursed something,
you gotta learn how to bless it.

1122
00:51:34,791 --> 00:51:35,471
For I'm.

1123
00:51:35,471 --> 00:51:38,631
I'm taught three denials
become three declarations.

1124
00:51:38,951 --> 00:51:42,431
If you curse your husband
three times, I dare you to bless

1125
00:51:42,431 --> 00:51:43,271
him three times.

1126
00:51:43,591 --> 00:51:47,271
If you curse your city three
times, I dare you to declare over

1127
00:51:47,271 --> 00:51:48,551
your city three times.

1128
00:51:48,711 --> 00:51:51,111
When Julie said, the courtroom
of heaven is open.

1129
00:51:51,511 --> 00:51:56,891
Every courtroom functions not
by violence, not by flight, by freeze,

1130
00:51:56,891 --> 00:51:58,451
but by the word you speak.

1131
00:51:58,451 --> 00:51:59,011
The word.

1132
00:51:59,091 --> 00:52:02,291
The word of a testimony, the
word of an affirmation.

1133
00:52:02,531 --> 00:52:06,931
So three denials must turn
into three declarations.

1134
00:52:07,811 --> 00:52:11,691
First century Jewish law
established that something declared

1135
00:52:11,691 --> 00:52:16,891
three times before witnesses
was covenantal, and it carried legal

1136
00:52:16,891 --> 00:52:17,251
weight.

1137
00:52:17,411 --> 00:52:19,971
And so Jesus was not being repetitive.

1138
00:52:20,931 --> 00:52:26,991
He was formally, legally, and
irreversibly reinstating Peter before

1139
00:52:27,151 --> 00:52:29,631
witnesses in the courtroom of heaven.

1140
00:52:29,791 --> 00:52:33,471
And there's something even
deeper that happens in that language.

1141
00:52:34,031 --> 00:52:43,071
Simon, son of John, Son of he.

1142
00:52:44,671 --> 00:52:45,711
You're about to miss it.

1143
00:52:45,711 --> 00:52:46,751
So this is it.

1144
00:52:47,631 --> 00:52:50,341
Simon, son of John.

1145
00:52:51,301 --> 00:52:55,061
Remember I said it's not about
expertise, it's about authority.

1146
00:52:55,541 --> 00:52:58,341
Even Jesus was saying, who's
your head?

1147
00:52:59,221 --> 00:53:02,421
I'm speaking to the authority
over you, which is your biological

1148
00:53:02,421 --> 00:53:04,821
father, Simon, son of John.

1149
00:53:05,381 --> 00:53:07,701
I'm acknowledging your heritage.

1150
00:53:08,021 --> 00:53:09,861
I'm acknowledging the lineage.

1151
00:53:11,141 --> 00:53:13,301
Do you love me?

1152
00:53:13,381 --> 00:53:17,501
What he was saying is, I'm
trying to transfer the authority,

1153
00:53:17,821 --> 00:53:22,421
and I'm trying to bring you
out of John's covering, your biological

1154
00:53:22,421 --> 00:53:27,181
father, and bring you into the
covering of the kingdom so that Abba

1155
00:53:27,261 --> 00:53:28,941
can become your father.

1156
00:53:28,941 --> 00:53:33,181
And this is the only way Peter
becomes an apostle, is that if he

1157
00:53:33,181 --> 00:53:38,261
shifts authority, he can no
longer just be the Simon, son of

1158
00:53:38,261 --> 00:53:38,541
John.

1159
00:53:38,781 --> 00:53:40,221
It must be Peter.

1160
00:53:40,641 --> 00:53:41,361
Oh, come on.

1161
00:53:41,521 --> 00:53:42,881
Son of the living God.

1162
00:53:43,441 --> 00:53:45,041
He's switching lineages.

1163
00:53:45,281 --> 00:53:46,601
He's being provoked.

1164
00:53:46,601 --> 00:53:48,881
But he has to speak to that
false thing.

1165
00:53:48,961 --> 00:53:51,041
And so I got one question left
for you.

1166
00:53:51,121 --> 00:53:57,201
How many of you are gonna say,
pastor Mike, I am now going to acknowledge

1167
00:53:57,281 --> 00:54:00,321
that if I curse three times,
I'm blessing three times.

1168
00:54:00,561 --> 00:54:04,081
If I spoke an ill word three
times, I'm declaring three times.

1169
00:54:04,321 --> 00:54:05,201
How many of you are going to.

1170
00:54:05,201 --> 00:54:08,991
Rise up with me and say, if I
broke a covenant three times, let

1171
00:54:08,991 --> 00:54:11,031
it be reestablished three times?

1172
00:54:11,271 --> 00:54:13,471
Is there anybody who believes
what I'm.

1173
00:54:13,471 --> 00:54:17,191
Talking right now, that
sometimes you gotta switch from the

1174
00:54:17,191 --> 00:54:20,671
false authority of a
biological father to the heaven's

1175
00:54:20,671 --> 00:54:22,551
authority as our spiritual father?

1176
00:54:22,711 --> 00:54:26,271
If you believe that with me,
Is there just three people will jump

1177
00:54:26,271 --> 00:54:29,591
to their seat right now and
say, I'm ready to do this thing with

1178
00:54:29,591 --> 00:54:29,911
you.

1179
00:54:30,711 --> 00:54:34,231
Do you smell the coal fire burning?

1180
00:54:34,631 --> 00:54:37,551
And do you know that God took
you to the very place you didn't

1181
00:54:37,551 --> 00:54:38,151
want to go?

1182
00:54:46,451 --> 00:54:52,731
You know how I got free from
alcoholism is I was in a multi step

1183
00:54:52,731 --> 00:54:54,131
process with a counselor.

1184
00:54:54,450 --> 00:54:58,691
And he said, mike, I want you
to visit every place in northwest

1185
00:54:58,691 --> 00:55:00,131
Indiana where you were wounded.

1186
00:55:00,611 --> 00:55:04,291
And when you go to those
places, I want you to ask God to

1187
00:55:04,291 --> 00:55:05,921
tell you, where were you when
it happened?

1188
00:55:06,791 --> 00:55:11,991
I went all over a tour of the
houses where I was physically, mentally,

1189
00:55:11,991 --> 00:55:13,031
emotionally abused.

1190
00:55:13,591 --> 00:55:16,631
I stood in the front yard, the
backyard, the porch.

1191
00:55:16,711 --> 00:55:20,351
I didn't care who lived there
because I was in a battle for my

1192
00:55:20,351 --> 00:55:25,311
life, literally a battle for
my life, and just completely enraptured

1193
00:55:25,311 --> 00:55:26,311
by alcoholism.

1194
00:55:26,791 --> 00:55:29,591
And I'll never forget the very
first place I showed up.

1195
00:55:30,471 --> 00:55:32,031
I still was drunk, by the way.

1196
00:55:32,031 --> 00:55:33,591
I was in the process of sobriety.

1197
00:55:34,351 --> 00:55:37,631
And I stand on this place
totally drunk out of my mind.

1198
00:55:37,791 --> 00:55:40,591
And I say, lord, where were you?

1199
00:55:41,871 --> 00:55:43,151
That's how I said it.

1200
00:55:43,551 --> 00:55:44,671
The crazy guy.

1201
00:55:44,831 --> 00:55:47,031
You ever hear those dudes
yelling in New York City?

1202
00:55:47,031 --> 00:55:53,191
I was one of them because I
was just so destitute, so so much

1203
00:55:53,191 --> 00:55:53,631
pain.

1204
00:55:54,351 --> 00:56:00,991
And I'll never forget, even
drunk, he made that fire, that charcoal

1205
00:56:00,991 --> 00:56:05,201
fire for me and said, mike, I
made you breakfast.

1206
00:56:05,681 --> 00:56:09,281
I'm gonna feed you in the same
place where you were wounded.

1207
00:56:09,681 --> 00:56:11,361
I know that this triggers you.

1208
00:56:11,361 --> 00:56:15,041
The smell, the sight, the
visual, the experience of this fire.

1209
00:56:15,601 --> 00:56:18,641
But see, some fire burns to destroy.

1210
00:56:19,361 --> 00:56:22,401
Some fire burns to cook and to nourish.

1211
00:56:23,041 --> 00:56:24,961
Same fire, different application.

1212
00:56:25,361 --> 00:56:28,211
One will kill you and the
other one will keep you alive.

1213
00:56:28,841 --> 00:56:30,121
So the fire is not the problem.

1214
00:56:30,681 --> 00:56:32,841
It's what it's who's
stewarding that fire.

1215
00:56:33,241 --> 00:56:36,681
That first fire was being
stewarded by Roman soldiers.

1216
00:56:36,841 --> 00:56:39,961
That second fire was being
stewarded by Jesus Christ.

1217
00:56:40,361 --> 00:56:43,561
And Jesus said, Come sit in
the very place you're triggered.

1218
00:56:43,561 --> 00:56:45,561
Because I am the authority here.

1219
00:56:45,641 --> 00:56:48,441
And when I'm the authority,
this fire is not for denial.

1220
00:56:48,441 --> 00:56:49,721
It's not for destruction.

1221
00:56:49,881 --> 00:56:51,561
It's for nourishment and healing.

1222
00:56:51,721 --> 00:56:55,451
And I stood in that yard
literally on my knees, and the Lord

1223
00:56:55,451 --> 00:56:59,011
said, I'm still here in the
past, and if you give me permission,

1224
00:56:59,331 --> 00:57:02,611
I can heal the boy so that the
man can be free.

1225
00:57:02,931 --> 00:57:04,251
I never saw this before.

1226
00:57:04,251 --> 00:57:06,851
I studied this for this
message this week.

1227
00:57:07,011 --> 00:57:11,331
The reason why I noticed that
Jesus called him Simon, not Peter,

1228
00:57:11,491 --> 00:57:14,371
is because I stood in the
front yard of a place where I was

1229
00:57:14,371 --> 00:57:19,571
abused and the Lord called me
Doolittle, not Michael, because he

1230
00:57:19,571 --> 00:57:22,321
wants to deal with the past so
you can actually have a faith future.

1231
00:57:23,281 --> 00:57:24,801
I want to show you one more thing.

1232
00:57:27,201 --> 00:57:28,961
Let's put it up on this back wall.

1233
00:57:31,681 --> 00:57:32,641
Here's the problem.

1234
00:57:33,441 --> 00:57:36,961
We could have an altar call
right now across all of our campuses,

1235
00:57:37,201 --> 00:57:42,121
and we can puke demons out and
we can pray and speak in tongues

1236
00:57:42,121 --> 00:57:42,801
and shout.

1237
00:57:43,281 --> 00:57:46,241
And that is important and
that's a part of it.

1238
00:57:46,961 --> 00:57:52,051
But then the value of that is
it's a moment that turns into momentum

1239
00:57:52,211 --> 00:57:53,891
when you connect it to a process.

1240
00:57:54,771 --> 00:57:59,531
So what I showed you today in
this sermon is that with Peter, it

1241
00:57:59,531 --> 00:58:00,691
was 18 hours.

1242
00:58:00,691 --> 00:58:04,051
It wasn't a moment, it was a process.

1243
00:58:04,771 --> 00:58:07,771
And then that process extends
all the way to Acts, Chapter two.

1244
00:58:07,771 --> 00:58:10,211
Do you guys have that with the
QR code?

1245
00:58:11,411 --> 00:58:12,531
And here's the thing.

1246
00:58:13,421 --> 00:58:17,701
I want to tell you this in all
sobriety, because right now, a message

1247
00:58:17,701 --> 00:58:19,381
like this bring the prayer team.

1248
00:58:19,381 --> 00:58:20,381
Let's go crazy.

1249
00:58:20,381 --> 00:58:21,421
Yeah, praise God.

1250
00:58:21,581 --> 00:58:25,981
But I know some people that
puke out demons here and then invite

1251
00:58:25,981 --> 00:58:27,261
them back in when they leave.

1252
00:58:27,901 --> 00:58:32,301
I know people who put their
drugs on this up on this altar and

1253
00:58:32,301 --> 00:58:34,221
go buy more the next week.

1254
00:58:34,861 --> 00:58:35,581
Am I right?

1255
00:58:36,141 --> 00:58:36,941
It's a process.

1256
00:58:38,221 --> 00:58:39,021
It's a process.

1257
00:58:40,131 --> 00:58:44,011
So the Lord convicted me and
he said, mike, I want you to take

1258
00:58:44,011 --> 00:58:46,131
your congregation through a process.

1259
00:58:46,531 --> 00:58:48,931
Now here's something crazy
that you may not know.

1260
00:58:49,411 --> 00:58:56,491
There are almost 2,000 people
across America, in the cities and

1261
00:58:56,491 --> 00:58:59,611
the neighborhoods where we
have physical campuses that follow

1262
00:58:59,611 --> 00:59:04,451
me online that have signed up
to go through six weeks of going

1263
00:59:04,451 --> 00:59:07,621
through all of these cycles
and all of these patterns and breaking

1264
00:59:07,621 --> 00:59:07,901
them.

1265
00:59:08,061 --> 00:59:11,901
And they literally live within
a 10 mile radius of the physical

1266
00:59:11,901 --> 00:59:13,421
campuses of all those churches.

1267
00:59:13,421 --> 00:59:17,101
And I just used my voice and I
used my platforms and I said, hey,

1268
00:59:17,101 --> 00:59:19,821
if you've been following me
online and you want to be deeply

1269
00:59:19,821 --> 00:59:23,261
discipled and you want a
radical life change this summer,

1270
00:59:23,581 --> 00:59:26,381
My team and I are going to
take you through a six week journey.

1271
00:59:26,701 --> 00:59:31,621
And I'm not kidding, almost
2,000 people who live within driving

1272
00:59:31,621 --> 00:59:34,991
distance of Long Island,
Miami, all of our physical campuses,

1273
00:59:35,301 --> 00:59:39,221
who don't even go to our
church said, hey Mike, I watch your

1274
00:59:39,221 --> 00:59:39,661
sermons.

1275
00:59:39,661 --> 00:59:41,221
I'm gonna count me in.

1276
00:59:41,541 --> 00:59:47,821
Now, right now at our church,
we have 10, 85 people that are, that

1277
00:59:47,821 --> 00:59:52,261
are currently in small groups
being discipled and having deep fellowship.

1278
00:59:52,581 --> 00:59:57,381
But there's another 1200
people in regular weekly attendance

1279
00:59:57,461 --> 00:59:59,301
that are in no groups at all.

1280
00:59:59,461 --> 01:00:01,801
But when I hear group, I hear process.

1281
01:00:02,521 --> 01:00:06,841
So what I did is I got my best
leaders, my best pastors, and I put

1282
01:00:06,841 --> 01:00:09,801
together this process that
we're going to go through.

1283
01:00:09,961 --> 01:00:11,641
And whom the sun sets free.

1284
01:00:13,881 --> 01:00:15,001
Let me ask you a question.

1285
01:00:15,561 --> 01:00:17,001
Are you free, but not free?

1286
01:00:17,001 --> 01:00:17,481
Indeed.

1287
01:00:17,961 --> 01:00:20,281
Are you free from some things,
but not everything?

1288
01:00:20,921 --> 01:00:22,681
Are you free from some.

1289
01:00:22,681 --> 01:00:24,441
Some wounds, but not all wounds?

1290
01:00:25,401 --> 01:00:29,931
I believe that 18 hours can
happen in six weeks, a couple hours

1291
01:00:29,931 --> 01:00:30,571
at a time.

1292
01:00:31,131 --> 01:00:34,491
And that's why once we're
gonna do a weird altar call right

1293
01:00:34,491 --> 01:00:34,811
now.

1294
01:00:36,491 --> 01:00:40,491
The altar call is who will
take out their phone at every campus

1295
01:00:41,051 --> 01:00:44,251
and scan this QR code and sign up.

1296
01:00:44,731 --> 01:00:49,531
Because July 12, the week of
July 12, we're gonna do this together.

1297
01:00:50,091 --> 01:00:53,331
And if the Lord spoke to you
during this sermon, I wanna ask that

1298
01:00:53,331 --> 01:00:54,761
you would do this and say,
sign up.

1299
01:00:54,761 --> 01:00:58,321
There's groups all over the
country and I empowered them.

1300
01:00:58,321 --> 01:00:59,201
We had a big meeting.

1301
01:00:59,201 --> 01:01:02,921
I had over 400 leaders show up
and I gave them the message.

1302
01:01:02,921 --> 01:01:06,601
I said, listen, If I bring
2000 through my channels and we bring

1303
01:01:06,601 --> 01:01:11,841
2000 from V1 Church, if we can
get 4000 people to go from man, I

1304
01:01:11,841 --> 01:01:12,721
feel the anointing.

1305
01:01:12,721 --> 01:01:17,041
If we can get 4,000 people
this summer to go from Simon to Peter,

1306
01:01:17,121 --> 01:01:21,211
and each One of those 4,000
are connected to five people, that's

1307
01:01:21,211 --> 01:01:22,651
over 20,000 people.

1308
01:01:22,651 --> 01:01:24,451
That's a city's worth of people.

1309
01:01:24,771 --> 01:01:26,651
Then we can say that we changed.

1310
01:01:26,651 --> 01:01:28,291
A city's worth of people.

1311
01:01:28,611 --> 01:01:30,211
But it has to be now.

1312
01:01:30,371 --> 01:01:32,771
It has to be more than another
altar call.

1313
01:01:32,851 --> 01:01:34,211
It has to be a process.

1314
01:01:34,611 --> 01:01:35,691
It has to be God.

1315
01:01:35,691 --> 01:01:37,010
I'm submitting myself.

1316
01:01:37,171 --> 01:01:39,251
I'm not going to go back to fishing.

1317
01:01:39,331 --> 01:01:41,251
And after this, you'll write
the book.

1318
01:01:41,331 --> 01:01:43,331
And after this you'll have the ministry.

1319
01:01:43,411 --> 01:01:44,931
And after this you'll preach.

1320
01:01:44,931 --> 01:01:47,251
Because God wants those, those
things for you.

1321
01:01:47,491 --> 01:01:51,291
But how you get to that
destination determines whether or

1322
01:01:51,291 --> 01:01:54,771
not those things destroy you
or they bless you.

1323
01:01:54,851 --> 01:01:58,931
Because Paul said, I desire
that you would prosper even as your

1324
01:01:58,931 --> 01:02:00,131
soul prospers.

1325
01:02:00,371 --> 01:02:03,651
So get your soul right and
your bank account will follow.

1326
01:02:03,971 --> 01:02:06,931
Get your soul right, and your
ministry will follow.

1327
01:02:07,251 --> 01:02:10,531
Get your soul right, and
everything else will follow.

1328
01:02:10,771 --> 01:02:13,091
We're going to work on our
soul this summer.

1329
01:02:15,141 --> 01:02:17,381
So I want to pray over each
and every one of you because I saw

1330
01:02:17,381 --> 01:02:17,701
phones.

1331
01:02:17,701 --> 01:02:20,661
I don't know what it's like at
the other campuses, but I saw phones

1332
01:02:20,661 --> 01:02:21,061
going up.

1333
01:02:21,061 --> 01:02:22,021
Did you guys see it?

1334
01:02:22,421 --> 01:02:23,461
Did you guys see it?

1335
01:02:23,461 --> 01:02:24,421
Phones going up?

1336
01:02:25,301 --> 01:02:26,421
You said not enough.

1337
01:02:27,381 --> 01:02:28,341
I felt that.

1338
01:02:28,341 --> 01:02:30,821
I like that holy expectation
in you.

1339
01:02:32,581 --> 01:02:35,621
Girl, you about to get
promoted back there.

1340
01:02:36,021 --> 01:02:40,101
She said you must be discipled
by Nana Moses.

1341
01:02:43,651 --> 01:02:48,451
Come on, take your phone out,
scan that QR code and sign up.

1342
01:02:49,491 --> 01:02:51,731
And I want to pray for each
and every one of you.

1343
01:02:56,531 --> 01:02:57,211
Yeah, come on.

1344
01:02:57,211 --> 01:02:58,371
Let it sit in the room.

1345
01:03:05,491 --> 01:03:11,191
You know what's funny is Peter
convinces everybody to go fishing.

1346
01:03:11,911 --> 01:03:16,151
And you know what's amazing is
after he convinces everybody, go

1347
01:03:16,151 --> 01:03:16,711
fishing.

1348
01:03:17,511 --> 01:03:19,751
Jesus heals him, restores him.

1349
01:03:19,911 --> 01:03:23,311
And then in Acts, chapter two,
there's language I didn't get time

1350
01:03:23,311 --> 01:03:27,391
to get to, but filled with the
Holy Spirit, there starts to be these

1351
01:03:27,391 --> 01:03:28,871
accusations from the crowd.

1352
01:03:29,031 --> 01:03:30,391
And this is what it says.

1353
01:03:31,111 --> 01:03:36,531
It says, peter, standing with
all of the apostles, steps forward.

1354
01:03:37,091 --> 01:03:38,931
He doesn't step back anymore.

1355
01:03:39,091 --> 01:03:40,531
He doesn't run and hide.

1356
01:03:40,611 --> 01:03:41,731
He steps forward.

1357
01:03:42,131 --> 01:03:45,931
Here's the question I have for
each and every one of you like Peter,

1358
01:03:45,931 --> 01:03:47,571
will you step forward with me?

1359
01:03:47,891 --> 01:03:49,811
Will you step forward into healing?

1360
01:03:50,451 --> 01:03:51,891
Forward into restoration?

1361
01:03:52,451 --> 01:03:53,171
Forwarding?

1362
01:03:53,171 --> 01:03:55,091
Will you step forward in your marriages?

1363
01:03:55,491 --> 01:03:57,651
Will you step forward in purity?

1364
01:03:57,811 --> 01:03:59,971
Will you step forward in sanctification?

1365
01:04:00,661 --> 01:04:03,621
So right now, I want to pray
over each and every one of you as

1366
01:04:03,621 --> 01:04:04,901
you prepare to step forward.

1367
01:04:05,221 --> 01:04:09,341
And then I want you to just
sing a chorus so everybody gets an

1368
01:04:09,341 --> 01:04:10,821
opportunity to respond.

1369
01:04:11,381 --> 01:04:14,341
But right now is not
deliverance day.

1370
01:04:14,901 --> 01:04:16,661
Right now is decision day.

1371
01:04:17,061 --> 01:04:18,741
Deliverance comes after decision.

1372
01:04:19,301 --> 01:04:20,501
We need to make a decision.

1373
01:04:21,221 --> 01:04:24,581
Matter of fact, the Bible says
that if you get seven demons cast

1374
01:04:24,581 --> 01:04:28,501
out of you, if you do not seal
that place, if you don't deal with

1375
01:04:28,501 --> 01:04:31,591
what caused those demons to
come in, it said that they will come

1376
01:04:31,591 --> 01:04:35,911
back seven more sevenfold,
you'll end up a roach motel for demons

1377
01:04:35,911 --> 01:04:39,151
going through a cycle of
deliverance because you never broke

1378
01:04:39,151 --> 01:04:40,911
that, that cycle with decision.

1379
01:04:41,631 --> 01:04:43,151
So today is not deliverance.

1380
01:04:43,151 --> 01:04:43,471
Today.

1381
01:04:44,351 --> 01:04:46,031
Today is decision day.

1382
01:04:46,190 --> 01:04:50,471
But how many of you know a
decision is gonna lead to a deliverance

1383
01:04:50,471 --> 01:04:51,551
that lasts?

1384
01:04:52,591 --> 01:04:53,951
So let's just pray right now.

1385
01:04:53,951 --> 01:04:56,861
Lift your hands towards heaven
with me, and we're going to begin

1386
01:04:56,861 --> 01:04:57,461
to pray.

1387
01:04:57,941 --> 01:04:59,341
Come on, shout this with me.

1388
01:04:59,341 --> 01:05:03,261
We're going to do declaration
to all of my fighters, to all of

1389
01:05:03,261 --> 01:05:06,621
my flighters, to all of my
freezers, we.

1390
01:05:06,621 --> 01:05:08,421
Are now going to make a declaration.

1391
01:05:08,821 --> 01:05:15,021
Say this with me, heavenly
Father, today I choose to bless and

1392
01:05:15,021 --> 01:05:15,861
not curse.

1393
01:05:17,701 --> 01:05:22,661
My relationships are blessed,
my finances are blessed.

1394
01:05:23,061 --> 01:05:24,821
My future is blessed.

1395
01:05:25,541 --> 01:05:30,001
And Lord, I covenant to you to
do your will.

1396
01:05:31,121 --> 01:05:37,441
Don't just change my name,
change my nature so I can live out

1397
01:05:37,441 --> 01:05:40,881
this name in Jesus name.

1398
01:05:41,601 --> 01:05:43,681
Somebody shout, let it be so.

1399
01:05:44,641 --> 01:05:45,681
Hallelujah.

1400
01:05:46,401 --> 01:05:47,601
Come on, let's worship.

1401
01:05:54,021 --> 01:06:05,311
Sam.
