Walking With God in the Cool of the Day

``If you wanna be exposed, you can fool some of the people some of time and maybe all the people all the time, but you can never fool yourself. You know exactly what you're dealing with. But thanks be to God, it's your fellowship with him that he keeps it from being exposed. He says I'll look after you, I'll protect you, I will be with you, we are you are a work in progress and you're gonna what? As long as you're walking with me, as long as you get up and you realize that you can't do nothing without me, I got you. I will not allow the enemy to expose you. That's what he's saying.

Your family's going upside down, your finances acting crazy, your children acting stupid and everything is happening, but yet you have peace. Where where where where the peace? It where is the peace, it's who's the peace. Jehovah Shalom, he's the peace. So right in the middle of the whole situation, right in the middle of war, right in the middle of battle, God said, you need to still multiply, you need to be fruitful, you need to subdue. And how do we do that? Because we have complete peace in the middle of situation. How do you don't do that if you're dependent from God, but you can have that if you're dependent towards God. You've got that peace. [00:55:59] (39 seconds)  #PeaceInTheMidst

The presence of the Lord is with me. I got a bad doctor's report, but the presence of the Lord is with me. My my my my family situation is shaky right now, my my finances is shaken, my my vision is shaken, it's blinded, it's blurry, but I've got peace. Why? Ruach, the spirit of the Lord is with me. Adam walked with god in his spirit and with his spirit with him and even though the enemy was knocking out his door and try and it would would eventually overcome him but as long because he'd left from walking in the presence of God and got dependent. It wasn't about fruitfulness, it was about independence. [00:59:36] (41 seconds)  #PresenceOverDiagnosis

Adam and Eve. Story of Adam and Eve, I believe, is is when we forget that we need God. See, was in the garden that Adam and Eve had everything. They had provision. They had peace. They had purpose. they had the presence of God. But the temptation was not about fruit. It was about independence. We think it's the low hanging fruit there, but it wasn't about the fruit. It wasn't about all the other stuff they're trying to teach about. It's about it's about independence. Independence. [00:46:58] (32 seconds)  #DependenceNotIndependence

And the breeze is blowing and he was like, oh, I think I'll go outside and walk around my neighborhood. And you walk around your neighborhood, there's a neighbor. Well, hey neighbor. And the neighbor comes over there and next, know, and and and the more the breeze flows, the more you just wanna well, let's walk some more. We're talking. Your your fellowship and your communion and and you're doing you're doing all that kind of stuff with the breeze. The the breeze the breeze is is comes about from what? Wind. So why did God say, I don't walk with God in the cool of the day? Because in the cool of day, there's a breeze. There's the wind. What's the word for wind? Ruach. What's Ruach? The spirit of God.

Leave it alone, let the fruit hang, don't touch it. As soon as you touch it and become independent from God, you're saying, you know what? I got this. In the moment you walk away from God, you are exposed. And we know what our weaknesses are. We know what our struggles are. We know what our battles are. Just because we're forgiven on our way to heaven doesn't mean we're still not in a fight. We're still in a battle. Well, why don't God just deliver from that? Because we would turn into weak knees, powder puff nothings. [01:01:09] (35 seconds)  #LetTheFruitHang

And let me help you with this, Moses. When God called Moses at the Barnabas, Moses didn't feel qualified, he says, who am I? You calling me? There's somebody else out here. I'm sitting here but a bunch of another bush. But he always said, who am I? He says, what if they don't believe me? I'm slow with speech. I can't talk. I can't there's all kinds of reasons why. But here's the thing, God didn't create Moses' weakness. He addressed his presence. And no, he he didn't say, oh, I'm gonna fix all of that. I I'm gonna fix who you are. I'm gonna fix and make sure people believe you every single word you say. I'm gonna make sure you have most eloquent of speech. Didn't know what he said. All he said is, hey, you be alright. I'll be with you. We want God to fix us and leave us the heck alone. [01:05:53] (54 seconds)  #AvailabilityOverAbility

So many times in my life, so many times in our lives, we we we we we battle. I I I think about this ministry. I think about our our family. I I think about some of the things you've gone through. Even like what Jordan was saying with the lady he prayed with just a couple of days ago. Just one phone call and all of a sudden war is all around. You realize you can have peace in the middle of the war? You're in a battle but you can still have peace? I've been through some battles and I've realized what is wrong with me? Why why aren't I going completely losing my mind right now? I tell you why, because I'm walking with the Lord. [00:56:37] (35 seconds)  #PeaceFromWalking
