Strengthening the Family to Multiply God's Kingdom

That what you need isn't a better plan, it's not a coach, like these things can be helpful, but ultimately what you need is to be fed with God's word. You need more of Jesus. That is actually what helped Jesus overcome. Jesus quoted this verse. He quoted. He was strengthened by God's word when he was fasting and hungry in the desert being tempted by Satan himself. And he said, no, no, no. I don't need to eat right now. What I really need is God and his word. And he was strengthened to be able to stand up against temptation even when he was weak.

There's sometimes we over spiritualize stuff, okay? Elijah was hungry. Elijah needed to rest and the angel comes and says, here's what I want you to do. Eat something. Okay? Anybody else get hangry? Okay? We get these moments where we're hangry, we're exhausted, we're lonely, we're tired, whatever it is. I I call those halt moments. If you're hungry, angry, lonely, and tired, look out.

in god's will. This is what Proverbs thirteen twenty says. Part of this actually comes by who you walk with. Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. I mean no disrespect to your group of friends or your social media feed or your news channel of choice, whatever that is, okay? But many of us spend much of the week, maybe not all of it, but much of the week walking with fools. Some of y'all are like, amen, you know? Alright? So don't look around the room, don't look around, it's like, mhmm. Okay. Many of us spend a lot of the week, it was just constant foolish input coming out. [00:09:17] (46 seconds)  #WalkWithTheWise

Ecclesiastes four says that two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil. Verse 12 says, though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken. We don't grow alone. [00:30:16] (18 seconds)  #WeGrowTogether

We're not leaving anybody behind. We're, hey, I'm gonna pick you up and we'll walk with you. We'll slow down but we're not just gonna stop because we're receiving power, being strengthened for mission to multiply and it's only as we're refined and purified in him and as our church begins to look more like Jesus that we're able to multiply him. I don't wanna multiply Dave. I wanna multiply Jesus to the nations, to the next generation, to my neighbors. That's who that's who the world needs. And it says we're strengthened in him that we're able to multiply him. In 2026, we're gonna be strengthening the family to multiply. [00:33:35] (40 seconds)  #MultiplyJesus

To walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. Sometimes especially in church, we get hooked up on, I went to a bible study. We're going through a curriculum. I I listened to a podcast. I I I I listened to another message. I read a spiritual Christian book, self help section or something and we get very obsessed with knowledge. But this prayer is not only that we would be filled with knowledge, but it's knowledge so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened all power. There is something about being filled with knowledge that actually strengthens us to be able to walk out what God's will is. But if we're going to walk it out, we have to know it first. It's knowledge and understanding so as to walk. [00:05:30] (54 seconds)  #KnowledgeToAction

You're physically weak and Satan knows it. He's gonna try to do something right now. Sometimes what you need like, I'll I'll get at it with Gwen, my wife. Sometimes it's like, you know what? You're tired, Dave. Shut your mouth. And go to bed. Okay? That's what you need to do. You need to make yourself a little snack or something. Let's make a sandwich because we need to be fed for the journey. What god has for us is quite frankly too much. If you're doing important work, the stuff that like you're called to do, we are called to work that matters. And God has given us bodies that actually need to be fed if we're going to do them. You're not much used to the kingdom if you cannot move. [00:20:18] (45 seconds)  #FedForTheJourney

We'll fight on our knees in 2026. That's how we grow in favor with God. Zechariah four six says, not by might nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord of hosts. It's not like by our own strength. [00:24:18] (19 seconds)  #NotByMight
