I said, I think that's exactly what we need to do. Long story short, we ended up talking about it as a church and that's what we ended up doing and that bus is in Mexico right now running around picking up more people than we would ever picked up here. Now, did I see that from the beginning? It was actually completely different than my plan. What I thought I had figured out, I I knew nothing about. That church plant down there in Mexico couldn't afford the bus that we could have afforded. They couldn't pay for that but we could. So, what god do? God let us buy it not for us but for them.

Our obligation is not to figure out the outcome. Our obligation is figure out whether or not we're going to obey. It's really what it comes down to and by faith, we'll be able to do that. We're going to close out right there this morning. I appreciate your patience. You come, you pray, you do business with the lord. Maybe there's a struggle in your heart. You feel god said, do something and you wrestle with the faith to be able to do it. Maybe this ministered to you. Maybe you need to ask god for more faith. You come, you do business with him, you ask him and I think that's a healthy thing to pray. God, give me the faith that I need. [00:39:27] (32 seconds)  #AskGodForFaith Download clip

You're not going to have all the pieces together. The truth of the matter is when we walk in faith, we walk in uncertainty. The truth of the matter is most people are not in the middle of god's will and they are not where god wants them to be and they're not in the places and the promises god desires for them because they can't handle the uncertainty. Right. They're not willing to go through the uncertainty to have it. Yeah. But if you can answer all the questions and you know all the outcomes, it's really not faith at that point.

Rather, Abraham was called specifically by god to do something and his faith enabled him to go. Here's my thing this morning. Make sure if you're going to step out on faith that you've got something from god saying, this is where you need to go. Amen. Don't just step out into apparent nothingness without having heard something from the lord, without him having put something in your heart, without having some scripture to base it on and say, well, I'm just trusting that god's there. Because the devil knows your name too. [00:15:58] (31 seconds)  #HearThenStep Download clip
