``You're not gonna see how, but you will have to prepare for it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna say it again. You're not gonna know how he's gonna do it, but you have to prepare for it. What has he called you to do in this season that you have not done yet because you're waiting on a manifestation of it? He's waiting to manifest it when you start doing it. If he's called you to something now, are you honoring the assignment now? Are you digging the ditches now? [01:40:45] (40 seconds)  #PrepareInFaith Download clip

So if you wanna grumble and complain while you're shoveling, get to shoveling. He said, make this valley full of ditches, for this is what the Lord says. You will neither see you will neither see wind nor rain. Yet, somebody say, yet Yet. This valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle, and your other animals will drink. Watch this. This is an easy thing in the eyes of the Lord. He will also deliver Moab into your hands. [01:40:12] (33 seconds)  #DigDitchesExpectOverflow Download clip

How many times do we error because we fail to dig the ditches? See, once you do your part, his part is easy. See, grace is a teacher. Titus chapter two talks about grace, and it says, this grace teaches me to say no to ungodliness and to worldly passions. That takes work to say no. It takes work to say no. But how many cave to the pressure because we wanna do what feels good? We don't wanna do the work of obedience. [01:42:02] (42 seconds)  #GraceTeachesObedience Download clip

If you have enough sense, you will surround yourself with one person that can get a hold of God. Amen. Yes. If you ain't got one person in your circle that can get a hold of God, you're in trouble. You in trouble, baby. You better find somebody that know how to get a hold of Jesus in your time of need. Because if you don't know how, they will. And if you got any sense, you would distance yourself from the other folks that are separating you from him and get as close as possible to that fire.

He is your problem solver. He is your way in the wilderness. He is the water in the desert. He is the joy of your salvation. He is the one who can set you free from you. You see, our mess brought us to this point, not God. He says the king says, no, because it was the Lord who called us three kings together to deliver us into the hands of Moab. Isn't it just like us? We start in a direction and we put some Jesus glitter on it and then say, this is the will of the Lord. No. It's not. [01:23:05] (36 seconds)  #GodNotGlitter Download clip

The bible says rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and yet we walk in rebellion every single day, and we walk into dry seasons every single day blaming God for our dry seasons. Why are you in the desert? Whose fault is it that you're in the desert? Who put you there? We think, yes, Lord. Order my steps. Order my steps, Lord. You're you're ordering my steps. The steps of a righteous man are good. Right? Yes. All those are true. [01:14:46] (42 seconds)  #OwnYourStep Download clip

Have you ever been in a scenario where you made a horrible mistake or a horrible choice and then you ask God to clean it up for you? Right? We all have done it. Yes. We step into something that we shouldn't have stepped into, and then we're wondering where God is, and he's wondering why you ain't asking before you did it. In other words, we sabotage our own situations by by failing to ask God first. God, should I do this? [00:56:42] (35 seconds)  #AskBeforeYouAct Download clip

You better listen to praise. Because when you praise, when you get in his presence, you come into alignment. Hebrews chapter 12. What does it say? Now since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us remove every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us. Edom was a weight that he was carrying, and it carried him right into a dry place. That's a word for somebody. I hope you hear what I'm saying right now.
