“we call it being kingdom ready. So now my kids are kingdom ready. And so now my kids can can we do it? K. So they'll they'll grab the gift cards and they'll they'll pass it out out out the back seat to say, hey, we we just want to we just want to bless you today. Now, one time we we had some cereal bars in the car just to, you know, we wanted to just be as kingdom ready as we possibly could, and somebody was like, that's all you gonna give them? A cereal bar? I said, you wanna know what is better than? Nothing.”

“I walked in the door with generosity in my heart. And perhaps the person who hurt me, who knows what happens when I start praying for them anyways. I don't live like everybody else, and I don't give like everybody else. So by the time Jesus says all this crazy stuff and then he goes, and give to everyone. By the time you got to that, you're like, man, honestly, that's easier than loving my enemy because I hate my enemy so that's good news. Can I just challenge us all? I know Luke six thirty is difficult, but you should try it sometime.”

“I know somebody hurts you, but for you to enter into a promised land, I'm gonna need you to be a promised land. I'm gonna need you to think a little bit different. You ain't gotta scrape the grapes off of the ground anymore. No. You could actually be the kind of person that isn't just thinking about you. He says, leave it for the poor and the foreigner. I'm blessing you so much. You're gonna be a blessing to everybody else around you.”

“I don't pray that any of us have so much that we actually fall for the trap of believing we don't even need God because we have so much. And I don't ever want any of us to be so low that we feel like we have to live our life like this. No, Lord, would you give me enough to make the impact that you want me to have on this planet? It's my prayer for me. It's my prayer for you, is that we would be the kinds of people that the Lord trust enough to give us the resources to make an impact on the world around us, our daily bread. Lord, would you give us enough?”

“whenever we do let people in on what's going on, isn't it funny how other people are like, oh, yeah. Me too. Totally. And you're like, what? You feel that way? Yeah. Like They're right. That experience has happened to you? Really? And we've had times in our life where we've gone through really hard times. And then when we talk about it, when we share it, people come out of the woodworks and people share their stories. And it ministers to us. We get to minister to them. Yeah. And we we force ourselves to feel alone and isolated just because we aren't brave enough to actually let people know. Like, we say, How how was your weekend? Hey. How are you doing? We have standard rote answers for all of that stuff. And if we actually stopped Mhmm. Put a hand on someone's shoulder, Tyler, like, really? How Yeah. How how's everything going? What what's going on in your world right now? Would we actually share? Yeah. Would we actually get a response from someone? Could we create that connection with people? And that's just another way of showing God's love.”

“And so but what do we do with that pressure? Where do we take it? Mhmm. Can we take it to a place that it needs to be? Can we take it to a place of productivity? Can we take it to a place, putting it with Jesus and trusting him to lead us through that, trusting people around us to help us with those things, or do we find out ways to circumvent the feeling of that pressure? And so that's where that's where we need to be careful with it because there's a lot of people that cope in a lot of unhealthy ways. We see it. We know it. What are we gonna do different because we have Jesus with us? Alright?”

“And this is the power of pressure is that pressure can point us to the location to the place where the presence of God is. Because remember, we're talking about that we we carry this treasure. We're jars of clay that carry this treasure of God's spirit in us. And so we have to put ourselves in the places and in position where God's presence and his power can be manifested, where where it can be experienced. And and a lot of times when when we think we're being crushed, we need to check our position.”

“But what I wanna tell you today is that this is the good news is that we are not powerless when it comes to pressure. Pressure doesn't have to push us. It doesn't have to paralyze us. But my question is is what if what's coming against you is actually something that may be working for you? Let me say it again. What if what if what's coming against you is actually something God wants to use to work for you?”
