Isolation is the enemy's playground. The longer you hide, the heavier life becomes. I feel like freedom is getting ready to bust loose in this place, and it's not even the July 4. It's not even June Juneteenth. Somebody about to get free in this place because healing grows in healthy community. It grows in healthy community. Now if we can be real for a moment, some people aren't private. They're wounded. Did y'all hear what I just said? [00:27:25] (42 seconds)  #HealingInCommunity Download clip

You cannot fully experience spiritual family while staying emotionally disconnected. You just can't do it. Tell them how, Dev. Let me give you three bible back hacks, And then I'm done. I promise I'm done. And these three gonna come quick. So let's let's get after it. Bible back hack number one, stop hiding. Let people in. I I spoke about it earlier, but let me read the full verse in context with you. James five and sixteen. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Confess your thoughts. Confess your sins. [00:44:48] (57 seconds)  #StopHidingConfess Download clip

What stays connected keeps burning, but what isolated eventually cools off. And some of us are spiritually cold not because you don't love God, but because you've been disconnected from your community. And disconnection usually happens slowly. You stop staying after service. You stop opening up honestly. You stop serving. You stop answering phone calls. You stop letting people in. And before long, you know what happens? You're isolated, [00:22:56] (49 seconds)  #StayConnected Download clip

We've gotta get out this mindset. The church is not an event. It's a family. Church is not something we do on on Sunday. It's us coming together as a family. God is god is building See, real discipleships real discipleship happens in the context of relationship. God is building a family. He's a loving father. Yes, he's the king but he also got a bunch of kids. Amen. And we're trying to figure out how we do life within his kingdom. And he told us very simply in John, love one another.

But your healing rarely happens in isolation. Lord, I feel the holy ghost right now, Terrence. I said, your healing rarely happens in isolation. I know the devil tries to make you believe. He tried to tell you, you know, I just need to be by myself and just heal. Oh, no. No. No. Your healing is locked up in somebody Yes, sir. In somebody else. Healing often happens in healthy connections. [00:24:43] (28 seconds)  #HealingThroughConnection Download clip

Let me just say this, you're not meant. Nobody in this room is meant to carry life by yourself. You were created. Somebody say created. For connection. And I wanna show you that one of the ways that god restores us is through relationships. You all have heard me talk about it time and time again. That when we give gifts to people, we like to give them things. But when god gives gifts to people, he gives us people. [00:17:44] (42 seconds)  #PeopleAreGifts Download clip

Because no matter how gifted you are, no matter how anointed you are, you cannot become who God has called you to be alone. Preach in here holy ghost. I said you cannot become who God has called you to be all by yourself. We were created for connection. From the very beginning, God said, it is not good for man to be alone. Am I in the book? I said he from the very beginning, Genesis chapter one, God says, it is not good for man to be alone. [00:18:25] (39 seconds)  #MadeForConnection Download clip

This was not a casual interaction. No. No. No. No. No. Devoted themselves to carrying life with one another. God didn't create us just to attend church together. He created us to live connected. I said he created us to live connected. Somebody shout connected. See, you can sit next to people every single Sunday and still feel isolated. Community is not extra. It is essential.
