Jesus is a generous giver. He's the giver of life. He's the giver of healing. He's the giver of health. He's the giver of provision. He's the giver of everything that we have. He is the most generous giver. And because he's a generous giver, we should also be generous givers. We really should be. He gives us everything that we have. [01:14:20] (21 seconds)  #GenerousGiverSpirit

The Bible clearly, clearly says that caring for the poor is not merely a charitable act, but it's a fundamental aspect of a life following Jesus. It's a fundamental aspect for God's will for your life. We search for God's will. We want his perfect will. I never want his permissive will. I know I can have his permissive will. But I don't want it. I want his perfect will. Because I want to be in his perfect will. [01:30:01] (33 seconds)  #PerfectWillInAction

There's a spiritual presence. Jared helped us identify this week. Over this region. And I'm E is right on. It's the spirit of apathy. Apathy's like, eh, somebody will do it. It's indifferent. Lacks zeal. Lacks passion. Somebody will take care of it. I don't have to. I'm so busy. I got a bazillion. I work full time. I got kids to take care of. I got all this stuff. So do we. Apathy's indifference. It says, it doesn't really matter. It lacks motivation. It lacks an emotional response. The Bible warns us that spiritual apathy is very dangerous. [01:43:26] (51 seconds)  #DefeatSpiritualApathy

We have to be the ones that stand and fight. We have to be the ones that stand and fight. We have to have zeal for God. And we have to push back the thoughts. And push back the darkness. And push back our own desires. And, you know, I just want to watch a movie tonight. Or I just want to do this tonight. We got to push back apathy. We have to take the authority God has given us to take this region by force. He's given us the authority to do that. [01:47:45] (27 seconds)  #StandAndFightWithZeal

So what you have to do is remind yourself every single day of the grace upon your life. All that God has and is doing for you, for me, my family, my region, how he lived, how he died on the cross for me and every single one of us in this room. It is all about his glory. It really is. I don't want any glory. I don't have a desire to be up here speaking to people. Literally. I'm like, I do not have to speak today. It's all for his glory. It's all for his honor. It's all for his passion. It's all for making him known to the forgotten, the broken, the lost, the unsaved. It's about making him known because he is returning. He is returning. It could be in my lifetime. That's amazing. Am I going to be ready? Will I get there and have done every single thing he asked me to do? Will I have worked my guts out for him?

Because the only way to break apathy is to spend time with him, spend time with other believers who are more passionate about him than you, to study and read the word. Come to church, join community groups, serve others. That's the only way to break through. [01:52:05] (17 seconds)  #BreakApathyThroughCommunity

We can all do it. We can link arm in arm and do this together. We can make sure the enemy doesn't kill this place. We can make sure God wins and people get to the healing they need. And you get to be part of it. You get to be part of it. Sometimes we just need to change our language and go, I get to be part of that. That's awesome. Look what I get to do.
