last thing, god opportunities will provoke opposition. When god opens doors, you can be assured that battles are coming. Open doors means intense warfare. When we walk in the favor of god, that does not mean that we're excluded from trial. Listen, if we feel like that that that walking in god's favor and god's anointing means that we're never going to face anything bad, we have a pretty elementary understanding of the Bible. I don't know about your Bible but my Bible says that Jesus was walking in the perfect will of god and he walked all the way with the cross on his back to Golgotha where he hung.

It's on the worst day of David's life that god elevates him to the position of king. On the worst day, up until that point, David's been on the run, and now not only is he on the run but his wise lives are in danger and then all the sudden, Saul is dead on the battlefield and David returns back to Judah and they say, we're here to anoint you, the king over us. Don't be distracted by opposition. [00:59:57] (35 seconds)  #NearBreakthroughStandTall Download clip

If fruit bearing takes a lot of work, we also have to understand that god assigns harvests to different people. And just as a word of caution, don't look in someone else's field to determine how your harvest is doing. Don't be having your eye over there and seeing what's going on so much that you get distracted from what god's wanting to do in your field. My wife and I, we were talking about how how many vehicles they all just look the same now. Like, every vehicle's white or black or silver. [00:48:37] (39 seconds)  #MindYourOwnHarvest Download clip

At a certain point, was like, man, just sprinkle whatever on it. Get them things out of here. But, you know, bearing fruit is often hard work, but it doesn't mean that god is not in it. It doesn't mean that god is not doing something in the soil that we can't see. It doesn't mean that he doesn't have fruit that's growing up out of the ground, but it means that we have to be ready to do the work. And when we get ready to walk through a door, a great and effective door, it often means there's a lot of prep work to be done on the front end.

It's only when we walk through that threshold and through the open door that god is standing there opening for us that we begin to see what he has in store for us. There's blessing there. There's favor there. There's grace there. There's healing there. There's restoration there. But it takes crossing the threshold. [01:05:38] (30 seconds)  #AcclimateByJumpingIn Download clip

I I I don't wanna I don't know if I wanna cross that threshold. And yet the same thing that's true in the physical is true in the spiritual. If we wanna acclimate, we gotta jump right in. If we want to see what god is going to do, what he has in store, we've gotta get in the water. And I believe that there's many of us that are standing at the threshold of a new season.

One might be the threshold of salvation. Maybe you've been hanging out around this church for a little while. You know, I really like the people. They're super nice, but I just don't know about this Jesus thing. Listen, dipping your toes in the water, you're never gonna get acclimated. You're to not You're gonna step out of a season of frustration. You're gonna step out of a season where you've been looking in all the wrong places for the right things, and you're gonna step into something that it that it's gonna radically change who you are. But it takes crushing that threshold. [01:03:25] (54 seconds)  #DiveInDontTreadWater Download clip

The last thing, some of you might be at the threshold of a new season. God is getting ready to do something in your life that is extraordinary. But it takes jumping in. It takes diving in. It takes saying, I'm I'm gonna quit being afraid because I'm worried about what's going to happen if I get in the water. [01:04:55] (32 seconds)  #StepIntoNewFaithLevel Download clip
