Perfect Submission - part 1 (Pastor Robbie Lawson)

When we defend most passionately, it often reveals to us what we desire most deeply. I'm going to say that again. What we defend most passionately often reveals what we desire most deeply. So, he wasn't angry when he was asked about his passion towards Nineveh, those who were created in god's own image, but he was angry when the covering that was upon him, the comfort of his own walk was compromised.

Let let let me submit to you in such a way that I've opened up my heart in a love language to you that me and you can get so close together that I can feel your heartbeat, that your your desires for certain people, cultures, things, or or or things that even in my own life. But the deepest form of submission is when you and I allow God to reshape our desires. [00:08:10] (23 seconds)  #LetGodReshapeYou

Because when god exposes you. That's right. You have nothing you can say to defend yourself to a holy risen god. There's nothing that you can say to to to cover this up or to give an excuse. There's nothing. There's nothing that you can say to God to to move this away from you, from from you holding the mirror up before yourself. [00:21:03] (23 seconds)  #CannotHideFromGod

And submission in of itself, biblical submission, perfect submission has no alignment with oppression. Has no alignment with a thumb pressed on somebody or somebody's gender having a a a roll over somebody. It has nothing to do. Biblical submission is a beautiful, beautiful, exhausting exposure of who you truly are. And through that exposure, you you're going to see that we're going we're going to look at and today, we're going look at why we obey god's word. The motive behind it, the things that we do.

I'm at the right hand of the father. I gave you my spirit and I gave you a calling. I gave you a purpose. I anointed you to be my voice, my hands, my feet, my representative in this dry and broken parched world and and to show them my love and my compassion. I chose you before the dawn of time and he promised that he would not leave us as orphans that that we would move in an anointing with him that like no other people. And church, it's time for us to rise. It's time for us to submit. [00:44:58] (32 seconds)  #RiseAndSubmit

Hold it loosely because your life is not your own. Right. If you gave your life to Christ. It's not yours anymore and this old preacher's been learning this the hard way for many many years but I I look in the vines. I look at church. I look at ministry and everybody wants the pulpit. Everybody wants the ministry. [00:37:17] (27 seconds)  #HoldLifeLoosely

I'm looking for a man or woman that's after my own heart and I had desire to to to overwhelm Nineveh with my presence with a proclamation and you, Jonah, you had the audacity to sit on the outside of that city. Sit under that that hedge of of protection with a light breeze blowing in your face and thinking, god loves me and I showed you. [00:24:18] (25 seconds)  #AfterGodsHeart

Let me let me stop right here. When I'm a Jonah in your life, the best thing that you can do for your life is not keep rowing, but throw me overboard. As scripture says, walk that individual to the door of the church if he's not gonna let go of of his unwillingness to submit to God's desire. [00:11:38] (24 seconds)  #LetGoForGodsWill
