The Promise of Renewal 0:01 Welcome to the ALSC podcast. Here at ALSC, we seek the lost, teach the found, and send the disciples. We truly hope you are encouraged by this week's message.0:13 We've been all this year and introducing specifically this month of January, favor. And I'm gonna test you right now. What is the f for? Faith. Faith. What is the a for?0:26 Good job. What is the V for? A for. And what is the O for? A. And I'm gonna talk to you about the R. Pastor Adam Masterfully has navigated us through, what favor really0:38 looks like and the A of abundance and the victory and the obedience. So, when I'm not here, I'm traveling. 2 weeks ago, I was in Seattle. Last week, I was in Orlando. This week, I'll0:50 be in Seattle again. I listened to the message so I could be fed and capture the spirit of what God's saying in this house. And so let's stand for the reading of God's word today. And I know God's gonna say1:02 something to you today. In Matthew 11 and verse 28 in different translations, it says, come to me, all of you who are tired. I don't need to ask you who's tired today.1:13 And have heavy loads. And I will give you more tiredness and more heaviness. That's what religion gives you. It says, and if you1:25 are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. And last of all, come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and are overburdened.1:38 Overburdened in your marriage, your finances, what's going on in politics, in the world. He says, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve. And here's our keyword,
1:50 refresh your souls. You may be seated. I don't know if there's a person in here that doesn't need a renewal and a refreshing in their soul, their emotions, their
2:01 will that seem to be so fragile today, our emotions and our feelings today. Today, I wanna talk a little bit about renewal. Say that with me, renewal. Renewal. I
2:13 wanna talk a little bit about the promise of renewal. You know, I have, like you, my phone, and I don't know about you, I get a ton of emails all the time. I gotta clear that
2:25 thing out, it seems like, 5 times a day. And I'm talking a lot of emails like you. And and some of them are good emails, and some of them are just because you buy products and everything, you have to give your email
2:37 and then they send you everything that they're trying to advertise. So every once in a while, I have to clear my emails. So what I have to do, I have to go to the bottom of that email and I have to
2:49 unsubscribe telling them I don't want it anymore. Sometimes I just get tired and weary of all the emails and I just pan to the bottom. I say unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe,
3:01 unsubscribe. Then I go back after like a month and say, I don't get that email anymore. I really like the advertisement they came and didn't realize that I unsubscribed them
3:13 when I should have just kept them or renewed them. And sometimes you need to understand where you need a renewal and you need to subscribe to that renewal, or where
3:24 you just say, I need a cancellation from everything that's wearying me and tiring me and the heavy loads. And that's what we're gonna talk about today. So as I open this up, have you ever felt like
3:36 you were just simply dragging? From the moment you got out of bed to the moment you went to bed that day, drive your car, took a shower and eating, you were just simply going through the motions and really not
3:48 at your best. You were here and you were there, but you really weren't here and you really weren't there. Have you ever just simply found heavy and weighty in your life?
4:02 Experienced in my life. I've lost something and I've lost someone and that just makes me feel wet weighty. Today, you may have lost a dream. You've lost your fate. You've lost hope. You've
4:14 lost vision. And last of all, have you ever felt just simply spent, worn out, worn down, just simply worn? You're like Velcro
4:27 that has lost its stick. You're like underwear that keeps just sliding because of the elasticity. Every 1 of us have 1 piece of underwear, and you say, I'm gonna throw it away. I'm gonna
4:39 throw it away. And it makes it back into the hamper and out of the washing machine, and there you go all day long, just as it's sliding. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. All you homie jeez ghetto
4:49 video people, come on now. You know, we are quick to
5:01 renew a gym membership or a a subscription to something or cable provider whoever it is. But we don't understand what it means when God talks about I wanna renew.
5:13 And the bible talks about I wanna renew your hearts, I wanna renew your mind. Yeah. I wanna renew your spirit, I wanna renew your attitudes, I wanna renew your strength, I wanna renew yourself.
5:30 Get weary sometimes, and they get tired. This is what a renewal looks like, or my definition of what a renewal is. It means this, God is not done with you yet.
5:43 God is not done with you yet. The second thing is change is on its way. I know you're going through something difficult. I don't know where you are in the transitional changes of life Where
5:54 you're becoming an empty nester or you're just becoming a parent or you're just becoming a husband or you're just becoming a wife or you're just becoming a boss or you're just, retiring. But all of us are
6:06 in transitional changes of our lives and renewal wants to come into those places of change and renewal is like a second wind. Athletes know what it's like when they just can't
6:18 run no more. They can't lift no more. They can't go no more. And then all of a sudden the second wind comes that just empowers you to make it through the workout or to go further than
6:30 you thought possible. And that's truly what a renewal is. So let me just share 6 c's with you very quickly of some areas that all of us I think need a renewal today.
6:42 We need a renewal when it comes to the commandment. What am I talking about? The bible talks about loving. That's the commandment of God. A new commandment I give unto you that you love 1 another.
6:55 And some of us may be bitter. Some of us are walking in grudges and unforgiveness, angry, or maybe even hatred. And I need a renewal in my love walk because
7:06 I'm very impatient with people and and very intolerant towards certain people. And and I I hold on to things too long. So God, I need a renewal. I need a renewal in the commandment of love. Then
7:18 I need a renewal in commission, God. Go into all the world and make disciples. God, I'm not winning souls. I'm not sharing my faith. I'm not telling anybody who you are in my
7:30 life. I need you to renew my witness for you, God. Then I need you to renew the callings in my life. The husband calling, the wife calling, the father calling, the Christian
7:42 calling, the assignment, the purpose, why you gave me the personality, the gifts, why you healed me and delivered me from the ways of this world. I need to renew my calling of purpose. Then I
7:54 need to renew my courage, God. Because temptation is getting the better of me and I keep succumbing to these temptations. And I need the courage to stand in faith when everything else tells me
8:06 to abandon my faith. Then I need God, you to renew my commitments. Those vows, those obligations, those promises, those expectations, those responsibilities
8:18 that I have in this lifetime. And then I need you God to renewal my consecration. That's my time spent with you God. Because I seem to have time for everything else God. And I
8:30 think to give you the crumbs of my day and my time, God. It's a drudgery and it's a duty to sit there and pray, God. Because all I do is look at the clock and I open my bible and then the phone
8:42 rings and then I had all the intentions of the world, oh God. And whatever it is may look like in my church attendance, these are areas where God wants, I promise you, a renewal in your life.
8:54 So let me be with the time left give you 3 areas of where God wants you to renew. The first 1 is God wants to renew the Beth Al in your life. Well, we
9:06 got to understand what Beth Al is. So let's read a scripture it's found. It's going to talk about Jacob. It says, when Jacob woke up from his sleep, he said, surely the Lord is in this
9:18 place and I did not know it. He was afraid and said, what an awesome place this is. This is none other than the house of God. It is the gate of
9:29 heaven. Early in the morning, Jacob took the stone that was near his head and he set it up as a marker. He poured oil on the top of it and he named the place what?
9:42 Beth Al. What did he just say before? It was the house of God and the presence of God. And that's what he said. It was politically known as lust. Loos, excuse me. Then it goes on. Then
9:53 Jacob made a vow. If God will be with me, watch over me during this journey I am making. If he provides for me with food to eat and clothing to wear. God
10:05 said, God Okay. Let's stop right here. So what happens now is 20 years take place. 20 years take place from this original place of consecration,
10:17 encounter with God at at this place called Bethel. He he dedicated this piece of ground. He put a rock or stone as they did in Old Testament time so that when I, when you see a
10:29 stone stacked on another, you didn't know that that accidentally came. Someone purposely did that and something significant happened there. So he made this place where he had his
10:41 dream where he envisioned angels coming up and down. It was very impacting for him and and and and transforming for him. So he called that place Bethel. Now 20 years later,
10:53 time goes by. He's not visited Bethel. And now comes this episode of life that I'll just share with you. Maybe you know it. Because now what happens, and through the a little bit of time
11:04 that preceded it, he had a daddy and and and and his dad, he deceived his dad in giving his brother his birthright. Esau, his twin brother said, I'm
11:16 gonna murder you and I'm gonna take you out and I'm gonna hurt you bad because you stole my birthright. And he went on a run and he went hiding and he took off. Then all of a sudden, he met a man named
11:28 Laban, and Laban had 2 daughters. And and and he loved this 1 daughter named named Rachel. But but the man deceived him, and he put Leah in his tent. And he didn't want Leah.
11:41 He wanted he wanted Rachel. And so he had to work 7 years to now be deceived to get Leah. Now he's gotta work another 7 years to get the woman he loved, Rachel. And then he doesn't have nothing. So he says work another
11:53 7 years and and I'll give you prosperity. And so he gets to this point where he's tired and he's weary. He's a conniver. That's what his name means, Jacob. He don't take crap from
12:04 nobody. He'll cut your legs out. He'll steal your mortgage. He'll steal your bank account, and he also gets ripped off himself. He has to fight for everything. He has to hide. He has to run. He's full of
12:16 fear. And now we meet up with chapter 35. And and and God said to Jacob, get up and go to Bethel. Man, you
12:28 need a you need a tattoo that right now. You need to drop the mic right now and walk out of here and say, get up. Yes. This is the way the Holy Spirit comes to you when you're in places
12:40 of weariness and tiredness. He lets you get away with it for a moment because it's sorrowful, it's sad, it's part of grieving, let's say. Yeah. And then he'll come gently and he'll say, get up. Yeah. Yeah.
12:52 Yeah. And then if you don't wanna get it, he'll say, get up. Yes. And then if you don't wanna get, get up. Get up. And then if you wanna get up, get up and go back to Bethel
13:04 and settle there and build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau. And here's what I want you to do. So Jacob said to his family and
13:16 all who were with him, the revelation comes. My change is in Bethel. I can leave all this junk behind and become who God made me to be, but I've got to get to Bethel. So he tells
13:28 his family, get rid of all the foreign gods. That's what you have to do to get a renewal. Get rid of all the crap in your life. All the false gods in your life. Every idol of worship that you have
13:40 built your life around. A player, an attitude, materialism, labels, hurts. Get rid of all the foreign gods. And he says, now it's time to purify yourself with some new
13:52 habits and some new lifestyles and some new thinking and some new talk. And then now, I want you to change your clothes. What's changing your
14:04 clothes mean? It could mean something like start practicing Thanksgiving. It it could mean it could mean I want you to start a project to help someone else who's in
14:16 need and I will bless you through that. But it it goes on and he said he went to Bethel and he experienced that renewal in his life. So here's what you need to recognize. What what
14:28 is Bethel? Bethel is the house of God, but it's the place more than that. It's a place where you encounter God. Yeah. Yeah. It's a place where God you welcome God to intersect
14:40 your life. Bethel is a place where every day you meet with God. It's a place where God deals with you. It's a place where God talks to you. It's a place where God
From Bitterness to Pleasantness
14:51 reveals himself to you. It's the place where you expose your vulnerability and your weaknesses to. It's the place where God begins to minister to you and touch you in
15:03 areas where no 1 and nothing else can touch you. And so when you're in a need for a Bethel, I mean when you're in the need of a pain in your life, so you're tired, you're weary, you gotta get to
15:15 Bethel. You gotta meet with God every day. Sometimes in midday, sometimes at nighttime. I'm not who I should be. I'm gonna get to Bethel. You know, in
15:27 46 years of being a Christian, I have put miles on my spiritual engine. And, like a car, I've been down this down the road 46 years,
15:39 driving up and down this country called the kingdom of God. Stay with me. I'm trying to give something symbolic to you. The reality is this, is that I could still stay on the road, but I'm
15:51 gonna have to rebuild my engine. Okay. See, if you really like a car and let's just say you went a hundred thousand and you're going 200000, now you're hearing some knocks take place.
16:03 And and and you're getting leaks now take place and a little bit of sputtering. But but you like your car. Then what you go do is you go rebuild the engine. That's good, pastor. Now, the
16:15 odometer might still say 200000 miles, but the engine is zeroed out, which means I could go another 200000 miles. Yeah. And some of you need a rebuild today.
16:28 You need a rebuild today. You've been driving down the highway called the kingdom of God in life and you're passing all these rest stops called Bethel. But you think you're a superman. I ain't gonna
16:40 waste time. I ain't got time for that. And you drive by the rest stop, and drive by the rest stop, and you drive by too many rest stops, you're gonna get in an accident. Right. That's good. You drive
16:52 by and you you'll burn out that engine. So I think that God is talking to us today about what Bethel could do for us. And just like cars, and I'm not gonna talk about the car you drove in in the
17:03 parking lot, some cars have duct tape on them, and they're all primered out, and they got broken lights and cracked windshields, and no side mirrors and no bumper and they're driving their car in that little spare that
17:14 you're only supposed to do 50 miles but you got 200 miles on it now. Technically you're drivable but you're not functioning at your best.
17:26 You're getting from point a to point b. But look at all the noise you make to get from point a to point a. Look at all the people looking at you. Say, doesn't that guy understand what he's doing, what that thing looks
17:36 like? Let's go to point number 2 while you still like me. I wanna talk about a renewal of pleasantness in your life. Everyone needs a renewal of Bethel,
17:49 where you meet God. Next, you need a renewal of pleasantness in your life. During the time of Judges, there was a famine in the land. A man left Bethlehem in Judea with his wife and 2
18:00 sons to stay in a territory of Moab for for a while. Both Milan and Shallan also died, and the woman, that's Naomi, was left with
18:12 with without her 2 children, I guess whatever that said at the end, and without a They're so scared. They're quick draw. They're like, I don't want
18:24 he keep calling me out. I'm like, okay. Well, he said so so here's Naomi. She's a she Naomi's in a foreign land. She's an Israelite woman. She's a
18:36 Jew. But because of the famine, she goes to live in Moab. She has 2 sons and they eventually grow up and they marry, but they die. And then she loses her husband. She has no no means of,
18:48 of providing for herself. She's in a place of hardship. Then there's this conversation with her daughter in laws. She says, I can't give birth to another child and then that son marry 1 of you, and
19:00 are you willing to wait for all that? So let's go to So let's read this. And so would you be willing to wait for them to grow up? Would you restrain yourself from remarrying? No, my daughters, my life is too bitter for
19:12 you to share because watch, watch. Listen to her verbiage, because there's a lot of us that talk this way. Because the Lord has turned against me. Please, next verse. Then the 2 of them traveled until they came to
19:24 Bethlehem. Say Bethlehem. Bethlehem means house of bread. We'll bring that back in a moment. We We said we gotta get to your Bethel, but you gotta go find your Bethlehem, your house of bread. And when when they entered
19:35 Bethlehem, the whole town, the whole town, yay, was excited about their arrival. And the local women, you know, that grew up with her, that that baby came to the wedding ceremony that were best friends, they said,
19:47 Wow, can this be Naomi? Say Naomi. Naomi means pleasantness. Here comes pleasantness. This is pleasantness. She says this, don't call
19:59 me pleasant. Call me Mara, she answered. For almighty God has made me very, very bitter. I'm pissed off.
20:13 Pissed off because I lost my husband and it's not fair. I'm pissed off because I lost my 2 sons and that's not fair. I'm pissed off because I follow my husband to a foreign land. I'm
20:24 away from my family and my friends. I have no income. I have no job. So don't call me pleasant no more, because I'm far from pleasant. You're about ready to meet
20:36 Naomi, Mara, the bitter 1. She said, I went away full, but the Lord Notice her verbiage. She's mad at God. She's gonna blame God for
20:48 every hardship that has ever taken place in her life. Where was God? I know if we would be more honest, we'd probably say, you know what? I have been like Naomi
21:00 sometime when a tragedy hit my life. And I blame God. And she said, but the Lord has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi since the Lord has oh, 0,
21:13 the Lord has opposed me and the almighty God has afflicted me. Let's fast forward. Okay. That's where she was. Right? But we're not gonna stay Mara. Right.
21:25 Why don't you stay, Mara? So that we're we're only talking about 3 chapters later. Watch what happens. Boaz took Ruth, that was her daughter-in-law now.
21:37 Boaz is the wealthiest man, 1 of them, in Israel, in Jerusalem, Bethlehem. Ruth, and she became his wife, and he slept with her. And the Lord granted conception to her,
21:48 and she gave birth to a son. Watch this. Then the women said to Naomi, here she come, these women come again, blessed be the Lord who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name become well known
22:00 in Israel. Watch this. They're talking like Sanaz. Sanaz would be all that. He renewed your life. He renewed your life as a renewal and he sustained you in your old age. Indeed, your daughter-in-law who
22:12 loves you and is better to you than 7 sons has given birth to him. Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap and became a mother to
22:24 him. God changed her life through a grandson that she thought would never ever, never happen. She didn't come back with don't
22:36 call me Naomi no more. She said I am Naomi. Thank you for reminding me that I am Naomi. And some of us have,
22:48 like Mara, grown angry and cold and temperament. And we become sad in our lives because of all the losses and the hardships and the famine,
23:00 the unwelcomeness, the unexpectedness, the unfortunate and the difficult things that have taken place in our lives. But the reality is is that we've got to get back to Bethlehem,
23:12 the house of bread. Because if you don't get back to the house of bread, you're gonna remain bitter rather than getting better. And so
23:24 I wanna challenge you with the house of bread, Bethlehem. What are you feeding on today? What are you eating on today? Because what you feed on and what you eat
23:36 on what you think on It's either gonna keep you bitter, or it's gonna make you better in your life. And when you are acting like Naomi
23:48 saying, with self pity, and and and you're having a pity party of complaining all the time, and you're acting like a victim all the time, then that's a sign that you've got to get to
24:00 Bethlehem. Because I'm acting more like a Mara who's bitter than a Naomi that's pleasant. 1 of the translations for the word renewal is gonna go on
24:12 the screen. This is a translation for the word renewal. Now pastor Adam came next week, he would really give you the proper enunciation.
24:24 But I went really fast. Peling and Genesia. Peling means again. Made up of 2 words. Genesia means beginning. Put the both words together and it
24:36 means a genesis again. And some of you need a genesis again. You need a new beginning. I need a new
Renewal of Strength
24:48 beginning even though I'm still married to this person, but I need a new I need a renewal in my marriage. I need a renewal in my family. I need a new beginning on my job because I think everybody's an enemy
25:00 there. My bad perspective of life is wrong. I I just I just need a new beginning. I need a new genesis, an again genesis in my life. And here's the
25:11 last point I wanna share with you and it's my favorite point because many, many years ago, I did a series around this. That God wants to renew your strength. God wants to give you a renewal
25:24 in your strength. You know, many many years ago, there was a man who came up to me. And I don't wanna laugh because I don't know really what's going on in his life. But he said,
25:36 I wanna know if the church can pay for me to go on a vacation. When you've been in this business, you've heard it all. And you don't know people are
25:48 serious or they're trying to be funny or what. He's but he said he was serious when he when he kept talking. He said, I wanna know if the church will pay for me to go on vacation. I said, okay. So after I stopped like
26:00 smiling or giggling or laughing on the inside, So I I just said, so, what is your job real tough right now? What's going on with your job? He said, oh, I don't have a job. I
26:12 don't work. I said, oh, okay. I said, is you're going through some difficulty in your marriage and it just so something wearing your day. So I don't I don't have a wife. I'm not married. I said oh, okay. So are the kids
26:23 just tiring you out and wearing you? I said I don't have no kids. And my inner Diego said what the heck do you need a vacation for? But the
26:35 compassionate side of me said that maybe he just needs a vacation from life, and there's something beyond a job, marriage, and kids that this guy's struggling with. And sometimes I
26:47 think that that's oftentimes what people are going through today. It's tough to define why I need a renewal and why I'm weary and why I'm tired. I just I just am. So God needs to renew your strength.
27:00 So Isaiah, we're gonna read, this scripture says this. Use may become faint and weary and young men stumble and fall. But those who trust, King James says wait
27:12 on the Lord will renewal. There's our word renewal their strength or renew their strength. And when God renews your strength, you will soar on wings like eagles. You're gonna be
27:24 like an eagle. And you're gonna run and you're not gonna become weary. And you're gonna walk and you're not gonna faint. And here's what I wanna break this down to be when God starts talking
27:36 to us that we are like we like eagles. Because today, many people just feel weak and they feel fragile and and they just feel vulnerable. So
27:48 over here, I have an eagle right here and and God chooses to say, this is what resembles you. This is what I've created you to be. And in your adversities
28:00 and in your troubles, this is what you need to be. Now there's a vast difference between this eagle and this little parrot over here. They that wait upon the Lord, you're gonna
28:12 be like a parrot. And you'll mount up like a parrot and you'll soar and not What the heck? This guy lives in a cage.
28:24 This guy does not live in a cage. It's a vast difference between these 2 birds. This bird if I snap my fingers he'd go crazy. Watch go
28:36 over here. This guy won't budge. I mean because he's a statue but in real life. Or is
28:52 he? You know, sometimes this is what this this eagle has what we have here a beak. And what he has here are talents back here. And what he has are beautiful
29:04 feathers. Sometimes life wears this thing down called the beak. And sometimes life wears down these talents on his toes. And
29:16 sometimes life wears down his feathers. But his livelihood of succeeding is based upon how sharp and how tough this beak is and those talents and those feathers. And
29:28 he cannot afford to allow these things to wear down. What wears them down? Well, much like you, what wears him what wears it down is the
29:39 environment. The environment he lives in. The climate of this world, the conditions of this world, the weather of this world has
29:51 just simply worn down his feathers, his talents, and his beaks. What he has experienced in this life. He's had to build nests.
30:03 He's had to forage for food. Yeah. The engagements that he's had to have. How he's had to fight enemies and other eagles. All these things
30:15 that you and I have to navigate through the experiences, the environments, the encounters, the experiences, the engagements has gotten me down right now where I'm not as sharp as I should and I'm dull.
30:29 And I need a renewal in my life. So this bird, the way God's created him, he will go through what they call a molting process. In that molting
30:41 process, he will rub his beak against a rock till it's nothing, but he knows it will be renewed. It will grow back, and it will grow back tougher and stronger and sharper than
30:53 it's ever been before. He recognizes that his talents are not as strong as they once were. He'll go through a multi process and he'll rub them against rocks and they'll start bleeding,
31:05 but he knows the promise of his creator that they won't stay that way. They are gonna be renewed, and they're gonna be sharper, and greater, and stronger than they've ever been before. He knows that his
31:17 feathers have become dirty now, worn out. He's lost some feathers. When he goes down to to to to get his prey, there's a whistling sound instead of a silent stealth sound. And that's why his
31:29 prey keeps running away, and that's why he can't eat the way he used to eat. And so he'll pull out every feather of his beautiful body and he'll become naked, but he knows his
31:41 creator will renew his feathers, but he's gotta go through the molting process of difficulty and look at himself in the mirror of God's word and say, I'm
31:52 not who God's created me to be. I'm an ugly bird. I'm a dirty bird. I'm a weak
32:04 bird. But I wanna be the proud bird that God's I wanna be the majestic bird that God I wanna be the prestigious bird. I wanna be the splendor bird that God's created me to be. That they put me on
32:16 money. They make movies about me. They put me on statues because of who God's created him to be. As I finish this now, here are some traits now
32:28 of eagles. Eagles have amazing eyesight. They say they can lit I read it. It says they could see 50 miles away.
32:42 You need some of us need to renew our vision. We can't even see the nose at the tip of our face. We have no vision for God. I have no vision for I have a vision for my money. I have a vision
32:54 today for the San Francisco 40 niners. I ain't got no vision. He's got amazing stature. Yes. He's
33:06 a big bird. He ain't this little, miserly little parakeet. Not bless you parakeet but you you ain't all that believe me. You're a bird of
33:17 stature. Your wingspan is 7 to 8 feet big. His strength, his his talons can break a man's forearm like a
33:29 twig. It could snap. He could he could lift a deer, a deer, a grown deer with that talent and fly away. His height, he could fly 10000
33:41 feet in the air. Ask little Petey Let let me let Petey out of the cage and see what Petey's gonna do over here.
33:57 He may sing a cute song. That's all that bird can He may have he may be pretty anyways, his diet. This guy's got to be fed. This guy feeds himself.
34:11 This guy doesn't eat dead carcasses. He doesn't eat bark trees. He eats meat. He's a carnivore. His diet shows
34:23 everything. He lives 70 years. 1 of the longest living birds. He lives a long life. He's not here today, gone tomorrow, made a splash, a dent, and nothing else happens.
34:36 He maximizes his years. And it's not there, but he lives with 1 mate for the rest of his life. He ain't shacking with all the other female eagles.
34:48 Oh Jesus, got him a nest over here in Barstow, got him a nest over there in Indio, got him a vest over there in Chula Vista. He got a nest here in Rancho, and he
35:00 dwells with the wife of his youth. And then his nurturing skills of how they raise their children together, creating a legacy
35:12 of eagles. I wanna end with 1 verse. It's on the screen. And it says this. You satisfy my every desire with good things. You've supercharged my life so that
35:24 I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky. Let's pray. Father, thank you so much. Supercharge our lives, God. You know our lives better
35:36 than anyone else and we can't fool you, God, and we can't pretend, oh God. Can we just stop faking it for a moment? Can we just stop pretending for a moment? And when we people ask us how you're
35:48 doing, we say, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm alright. I'm alright. I'm alright. But I'm not. I just grown to seeing too many battles, been in in too
36:00 many fights, been through too much. And it I I may not be desperate, I may not be falling apart, but I'm just kinda going through the motions, God.
36:13 And I don't feel like I'm at my best. God, I pray that you supercharge everyone in this room, God, to be their best. Not justShow more
