Embracing Second Chances: Obedience, Unity, and Worship

So don't allow past failures or discouragements to stop you from taking your promised land. There, every single one of us have things that God has planned for us, for our families, for us. Part of like, yes, we're gonna live with him forever, but right here, before we get to go to heaven, there is land to conquer. There's possession, there's promised lands to take over. There's things to do. He wants to give that to us. Don't let failure stop you from doing it. [00:51:20] (29 seconds)  #RestorationThroughRepentance

You know, maybe you've struggled with addiction and you've fallen 20 times. Keep getting back up. God's gonna, every time you repent, he restores. He's not like us. We can hold grudges. Clearly, the picture of me getting baptized was me holding on to little stupid offenses. But God doesn't do that. We repent, he restores. That's how it works.

Full obedience is required. Every word of every command. We need full obedience. In chapter seven, Achan was half obedient. You know, Achan marched around, he was marching with them. Achan even shouted with them. But when it came to the rest, he wasn't fully obedient. [00:55:07] (17 seconds)  #ObeyForYourGood

We obey God for our sake, not for his sake. When we obey God, it's better for us. He's doing it for us. He loves us so much. He knows exactly what we should do, shouldn't do, where we should go, what we should do. So he's going to help us. But it's for us. It's not for him. [00:56:07] (16 seconds)  #RelationshipNotRescue

Let's not be Christians that the only time we pray is when we have a flat tire or when we get a bad report from a doctor. That's not a relationship with God. If you even had kids and the only time they ever called you is when they need you to bail them out of something but all the rest of the time they don't want a thing to do with you, that doesn't feel good. That doesn't feel like relationship. I'm in a relationship with Jesus. This is a covenant. Like, I want, he's part of every part of my life. [00:57:13] (28 seconds)  #UnityBringsVictory

Victories are not just celebration. They're for reconnection to God. True success is not winning battles, but remaining in covenant with God. God, after your breakthrough, don't just move forward. Move deeper into his presence. We need to prioritize worship after the win. [01:03:57] (17 seconds)  #SpiritualAltarsMatter

Obey completely. Don't just obey. Don't be a half obedient Christian. Be a hundred percent obedient. If God tells you to go to Walmart and you go to Walmart and you're like, I obeyed God, he may tell you, you need to talk, you need to ask that person if they need prayer. And that's where we get weird. We're like, well, I came to Walmart. God, if you want something to happen, make it happen. But we don't fully obey. What would happen if every time God told us to do something, we just did it. We didn't care how crazy we looked. [01:04:46] (32 seconds)
