>> when you give up what you want most for what you want now,
00:00:16.246 --> 00:00:21.718
Want most for what you want now, you're not doing you,
00:00:21.785 --> 00:00:23.953
You're not doing you, you're being deceived.

And i can tell you're
00:00:31.895 --> 00:00:32.495
And i can tell you're being deceived when
00:00:32.562 --> 00:00:33.096
Being deceived when people say stuff like,
00:00:33.163 --> 00:00:33.763
People say stuff like, “well, that's just how i am.
00:00:33.830 --> 00:00:35.565
“well, that's just how i am. i just go off.
00:00:35.632 --> 00:00:37.467
I just go off. that's just how i am,
00:00:37.534 --> 00:00:39.469
That's just how i am, i just say what i think.”
00:00:39.536 --> 00:00:42.372
I just say what i think.” that is a bad strategy.
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.975
That is a bad strategy. have you ever catalogued
00:00:46.042 --> 00:00:47.444
Have you ever catalogued your thoughts?
00:00:47.510 --> 00:00:48.611
Your thoughts? not all of them
00:00:48.678 --> 00:00:49.746
Not all of them are fda approved.

[laughter]
00:00:51.781 --> 00:00:53.249
And i believe this message is
00:00:53.917 --> 00:00:56.453
And i believe this message is important to a generation that
00:00:56.519 --> 00:00:59.956
Important to a generation that is running around saying
00:01:00.023 --> 00:01:01.291
Is running around saying things like, “live your truth.”
00:01:01.357 --> 00:01:05.328
Things like, “live your truth.” because if he lives his truth,
00:01:05.395 --> 00:01:07.931
Because if he lives his truth, he's gonna find himself
00:01:07.997 --> 00:01:08.965
He's gonna find himself in moments where
00:01:09.032 --> 00:01:10.333
In moments where it will feel true to him
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:11.868
It will feel true to him that this temptation is stronger
00:01:11.935 --> 00:01:13.470
That this temptation is stronger than my faith,
00:01:13.536 --> 00:01:14.904
Than my faith, but it's not.
00:01:14.971 --> 00:01:16.506
But it's not. there will be moments where it
00:01:16.573 --> 00:01:17.674
There will be moments where it will feel to him like popularity
00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:19.943
Will feel to him like popularity is more important than calling,
00:01:20.009 --> 00:01:21.544
Is more important than calling, but it's not.
00:01:21.611 --> 00:01:23.847
But it's not. there will be moments
00:01:23.913 --> 00:01:24.881
There will be moments where he will feel
00:01:24.948 --> 00:01:26.116
Where he will feel that something is true,
00:01:26.182 --> 00:01:27.617
That something is true, but what if what you feel
00:01:27.684 --> 00:01:29.219
But what if what you feel is true is actually a trap?
00:01:29.285 --> 00:01:34.491
Is true is actually a trap? warn your neighbor real quick,
00:01:34.557 --> 00:01:35.358
Warn your neighbor real quick, touch ‘em and say,
00:01:35.425 --> 00:01:36.025
Touch ‘em and say, “it's a trap.”
00:01:36.092 --> 00:01:37.093
“it's a trap.” >> congregration: it's a trap.
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:37.827
>> congregration: it's a trap. >> it's a trap.
00:01:37.894 --> 00:01:39.496
>> it's a trap. to act outside of the character
00:01:39.562 --> 00:01:41.231
To act outside of the character that god has placed inside
00:01:41.297 --> 00:01:42.565
That god has placed inside of you and called that you,
00:01:42.632 --> 00:01:44.367
Of you and called that you, it's a trap.
00:01:44.434 --> 00:01:46.236
It's a trap. the enemy has some of you
00:01:46.302 --> 00:01:47.670
The enemy has some of you trapped and you don't know it.
00:01:47.737 --> 00:01:49.105
Trapped and you don't know it. he has you trapped in the prison
00:01:49.172 --> 00:01:50.773
He has you trapped in the prison of what you call
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.508
Of what you call your personality.
00:01:51.574 --> 00:01:54.210
Your personality. so, now you run around
00:01:54.277 --> 00:01:55.245
So, now you run around saying things like,
00:01:55.311 --> 00:01:56.279
Saying things like, “well, that's just
00:01:56.346 --> 00:01:57.013
“well, that's just the kind of person that i am.”
00:01:57.080 --> 00:01:59.182
The kind of person that i am.” well, if the kind of person that
00:01:59.249 --> 00:02:00.550
Well, if the kind of person that i am doesn't match the kind
00:02:00.617 --> 00:02:02.318
I am doesn't match the kind of god that he is,
00:02:02.385 --> 00:02:04.053
Of god that he is, i've got to change some things
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.955
I've got to change some things and choose some things.

God didn't tell jeremiah,
00:02:14.864 --> 00:02:16.466
God didn't tell jeremiah, “do you.”
00:02:16.533 --> 00:02:18.801
“do you.” god said, “i knew you.”
00:02:18.868 --> 00:02:24.407
God said, “i knew you.” steve jobs has nothing on god.
00:02:24.474 --> 00:02:27.210
Steve jobs has nothing on god. steve jobs made an ipad,
00:02:27.277 --> 00:02:29.646
Steve jobs made an ipad, god made, watch this,
00:02:29.712 --> 00:02:31.814
God made, watch this, a resurrection.
00:02:31.881 --> 00:02:34.717
A resurrection. and the bible says that the same
00:02:34.784 --> 00:02:37.220
And the bible says that the same power that raised christ
00:02:37.287 --> 00:02:38.655
Power that raised christ from the dead lives in you.
00:02:38.721 --> 00:02:41.958
From the dead lives in you. touch your neighbor, say,
00:02:42.025 --> 00:02:42.892
Touch your neighbor, say, “he's talking about you.”
00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:44.194
“he's talking about you.” congregation: he's talking
00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:44.928
Congregation: he's talking about you.
00:02:44.994 --> 00:02:46.396
About you. >> and so, one time i remember
00:02:46.462 --> 00:02:48.431
>> and so, one time i remember being in high school --
00:02:48.498 --> 00:02:49.566
Being in high school -- i don't know if i told
00:02:49.632 --> 00:02:50.300
I don't know if i told you this story before.
00:02:50.366 --> 00:02:51.000
You this story before. maybe i told you it ten times.
00:02:51.067 --> 00:02:52.402
Maybe i told you it ten times. and everybody was getting high,
00:02:52.468 --> 00:02:54.604
And everybody was getting high, and i had never been
00:02:54.671 --> 00:02:55.305
And i had never been high in my life.
00:02:55.371 --> 00:02:56.406
High in my life. and i was, that night,
00:02:56.472 --> 00:02:57.540
And i was, that night, planning to get high.
00:02:57.607 --> 00:02:58.708
Planning to get high. and i remember feeling like,
00:02:58.775 --> 00:02:59.742
And i remember feeling like, “i'm sick of being a good kid.
00:02:59.809 --> 00:03:00.944
“i'm sick of being a good kid. i'm sick of being alone
00:03:01.010 --> 00:03:01.778
I'm sick of being alone on saturday nights.
00:03:01.844 --> 00:03:02.712
On saturday nights. i'm sick of this.
00:03:02.779 --> 00:03:03.613
I'm sick of this. i'm gonna actually
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:04.247
I'm gonna actually do it tonight.”
00:03:04.314 --> 00:03:05.014
Do it tonight.” and i remember when i grabbed it
00:03:05.081 --> 00:03:06.583
And i remember when i grabbed it and i went to smoke it,
00:03:06.649 --> 00:03:07.884
And i went to smoke it, and my friend slapped
00:03:07.951 --> 00:03:09.586
And my friend slapped it out of my hand.
00:03:09.652 --> 00:03:11.788
It out of my hand. and he looked at me and said,
00:03:11.854 --> 00:03:13.223
And he looked at me and said, “this isn't you.”
00:03:13.289 --> 00:03:15.558
[cheering and applause]
00:03:16.192 --> 00:03:17.694
And i came,
00:03:18.061 --> 00:03:20.296
And i came, i came to ballantyne,
00:03:20.363 --> 00:03:22.599
I came to ballantyne, north carolina today
00:03:22.665 --> 00:03:25.568
North carolina today to tell you,
00:03:25.635 --> 00:03:27.303
To tell you, that's not you.
00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:29.739
That's not you. everything that's
00:03:29.806 --> 00:03:30.640
Everything that's sabotaging you,
00:03:30.707 --> 00:03:32.041
Sabotaging you, i'll slap it out of your hand,
00:03:32.108 --> 00:03:33.810
I'll slap it out of your hand, and i declare,
00:03:33.876 --> 00:03:34.911
And i declare, that's not you.
00:03:34.978 --> 00:03:37.981
That's not you. every habit -- that's not you.
00:03:38.047 --> 00:03:40.850
Every habit -- that's not you. look at your neighbor,
00:03:40.917 --> 00:03:41.517
Look at your neighbor, say, “that's not you.”
00:03:41.584 --> 00:03:43.519
Say, “that's not you.” don't slap ‘em,
00:03:43.586 --> 00:03:44.120
Don't slap ‘em, i don't wanna start anything.
00:03:44.187 --> 00:03:45.822
I don't wanna start anything. but when i feel it rising
00:03:45.888 --> 00:03:46.823
But when i feel it rising up in me to take me down,
00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:48.458
Up in me to take me down, i slap it,
00:03:48.524 --> 00:03:49.659
I slap it, i demolish strongholds.
00:03:49.726 --> 00:03:51.561
I demolish strongholds. the weapons of my warfare
00:03:51.628 --> 00:03:53.263
The weapons of my warfare are not carnal
00:03:53.329 --> 00:03:54.597
Are not carnal but they're mighty through god
00:03:54.664 --> 00:03:56.699
But they're mighty through god ‘cause this isn't you.
00:03:56.766 --> 00:03:57.934
[cheering and applause]
00:03:58.401 --> 00:04:01.871
Not the new you.
00:04:02.205 --> 00:04:04.874
Not the new you. but see, we're confused because
00:04:04.941 --> 00:04:06.576
But see, we're confused because we think that if it's automatic,
00:04:06.643 --> 00:04:09.245
We think that if it's automatic, that makes it authentic.
00:04:09.312 --> 00:04:15.752
That makes it authentic. i am not what i feel.
00:04:15.818 --> 00:04:22.659
I am not what i feel. i am not what i do.
00:04:22.725 --> 00:04:27.597
I am what god's word says i am,
00:04:27.697 --> 00:04:31.901
I am what god's word says i am, and he is the great i am.
00:04:31.968 --> 00:04:33.369
And he is the great i am. this changed my life because
00:04:33.436 --> 00:04:36.506
This changed my life because i wrote down the phrase,
00:04:36.572 --> 00:04:37.307
I wrote down the phrase, “do you,”
00:04:37.373 --> 00:04:37.940
“do you,” and then i said,
00:04:38.007 --> 00:04:38.508
And then i said, “no, the new you.”
00:04:38.574 --> 00:04:41.778
“no, the new you.” jeremiah 1:5, give it to me.
00:04:41.844 --> 00:04:44.213
Jeremiah 1:5, give it to me. the you that god says he knew.
00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:49.152
So, maybe we should
00:04:49.252 --> 00:04:50.019
So, maybe we should spell it different.
00:04:50.086 --> 00:04:52.221
Spell it different. maybe doing the new you
00:04:52.288 --> 00:04:56.426
Maybe doing the new you means doing...
00:04:56.492 --> 00:05:07.170
Means doing... the knew you.
00:05:07.236 --> 00:05:09.105
The knew you. thank you, jesus.
00:05:09.172 --> 00:05:11.240
Thank you, jesus. you make all things new.
00:05:11.307 --> 00:05:13.943
You make all things new. because let's say i preach this
00:05:14.010 --> 00:05:16.579
Because let's say i preach this to him and i'm like,
00:05:16.646 --> 00:05:17.380
To him and i'm like, “okay, so don't just do
00:05:17.447 --> 00:05:18.748
“okay, so don't just do what you wanna do,
00:05:18.815 --> 00:05:19.982
What you wanna do, do what god tells you to do.”
00:05:20.049 --> 00:05:21.284
Do what god tells you to do.” so, then you get out
00:05:21.351 --> 00:05:22.085
So, then you get out of the trap, right?
00:05:22.151 --> 00:05:22.952
Of the trap, right? everybody, say, “trap.”
00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:23.586
Everybody, say, “trap.” >> congregation: trap.
00:05:23.653 --> 00:05:24.120
>> congregation: trap. >> because i really think it's a
00:05:24.187 --> 00:05:24.987
>> because i really think it's a trap to have an experience
00:05:25.054 --> 00:05:26.589
Trap to have an experience form it into a belief
00:05:26.656 --> 00:05:27.390
Form it into a belief and then call it your truth,
00:05:27.457 --> 00:05:28.257
And then call it your truth, that's a trap.
00:05:28.324 --> 00:05:30.526
That's a trap. that's a trap.
00:05:30.593 --> 00:05:32.729
That's a trap. that's a trap.
00:05:32.795 --> 00:05:34.330
That's a trap. but then let's say you get out
00:05:34.397 --> 00:05:35.932
But then let's say you get out of the do you trap,
00:05:35.998 --> 00:05:37.367
Of the do you trap, only to -- now,
00:05:37.433 --> 00:05:38.101
Only to -- now, bring my next illustration out.
00:05:38.167 --> 00:05:40.903
Bring my next illustration out. and this --
00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:41.804
And this -- the bowl took a while so this
00:05:41.871 --> 00:05:43.005
The bowl took a while so this might really take a while.
00:05:43.072 --> 00:05:44.006
[laughter]
00:05:44.474 --> 00:05:45.475
Bring it on out.
00:05:47.477 --> 00:05:48.010
Bring it on out. and now, you about to find out
00:05:48.077 --> 00:05:48.878
And now, you about to find out why i brought graham
00:05:48.945 --> 00:05:49.512
Why i brought graham up for the illustration.
00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:55.251
Up for the illustration. ‘cause let's say you get
00:05:55.318 --> 00:05:56.085

00:05:56.152 --> 00:05:57.487
Out of the do you trap. “i'm just doing me.
00:05:57.553 --> 00:05:58.187
“i'm just doing me. i'm just being me.
00:05:58.254 --> 00:05:58.955
I'm just being me. that's just how i am.”
00:05:59.021 --> 00:05:59.789
[laughter]
00:06:00.223 --> 00:06:01.157
Then you get out of the trap,
00:06:01.491 --> 00:06:04.494
Then you get out of the trap, the do you trap,
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:05.595
The do you trap, just do you boo-boo.
00:06:05.661 --> 00:06:06.863
Just do you boo-boo. do you.
00:06:06.929 --> 00:06:07.397
Do you. just do you.
00:06:07.463 --> 00:06:08.831
Just do you. you get out of that trap
00:06:08.898 --> 00:06:09.699
You get out of that trap and you're like,
00:06:09.766 --> 00:06:10.133
And you're like, “alright, i'mma change.”
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:10.867
“alright, i'mma change.” and now,
00:06:10.933 --> 00:06:12.368
And now, that the devil sees
00:06:12.435 --> 00:06:13.169
That the devil sees you're out of the trap,
00:06:13.236 --> 00:06:13.903
You're out of the trap, and you wanna change,
00:06:13.970 --> 00:06:14.837
And you wanna change, and you wanna get better,
00:06:14.904 --> 00:06:15.605
And you wanna get better, and you're not happy
00:06:15.671 --> 00:06:16.272
And you're not happy with it exactly like it is,
00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:17.974
With it exactly like it is, you get out
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:18.608
You get out of the do you trap,
00:06:18.674 --> 00:06:21.778
Of the do you trap, and you get onto
00:06:21.844 --> 00:06:22.512
And you get onto the future you treadmill.
00:06:22.578 --> 00:06:27.950
The future you treadmill. how many didn't know
00:06:28.017 --> 00:06:28.618
How many didn't know this was a treadmill?
00:06:28.684 --> 00:06:29.419
This was a treadmill? you thought it was a coat rack.
00:06:29.485 --> 00:06:30.620
[laughter]
00:06:30.987 --> 00:06:32.522
I saw how you used it.
00:06:32.889 --> 00:06:34.924
I saw how you used it. and this is why i brought
00:06:34.991 --> 00:06:35.958
And this is why i brought graham on the stage.
00:06:36.025 --> 00:06:38.494
Graham on the stage. now, he's out of the trap,
00:06:38.561 --> 00:06:42.265
Now, he's out of the trap, but now let's say that
00:06:42.331 --> 00:06:43.166
But now let's say that self-discipline and religion
00:06:43.232 --> 00:06:47.737
Self-discipline and religion puts him on a treadmill,
00:06:47.804 --> 00:06:51.541
Puts him on a treadmill, where he starts looking at,
00:06:51.607 --> 00:06:52.675
Where he starts looking at, “okay, i'm gonna
00:06:52.742 --> 00:06:53.509
“okay, i'm gonna do the new me.
00:06:53.576 --> 00:06:55.178
Do the new me. i'mma wake up at 5 am.
00:06:55.244 --> 00:06:58.214
I'mma wake up at 5 am. my friend wakes up at 6 am,
00:06:58.281 --> 00:07:00.917
My friend wakes up at 6 am, i'mma get up at 5 am.
00:07:00.983 --> 00:07:03.085
I'mma get up at 5 am. i'mma read five books
00:07:03.152 --> 00:07:03.953
I'mma read five books of the bible
00:07:04.020 --> 00:07:04.654
Of the bible a day, five alive.”
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.658
A day, five alive.” how many of y'all started
00:07:08.724 --> 00:07:09.725
How many of y'all started with a real new year's energy
00:07:09.792 --> 00:07:11.227
With a real new year's energy going into a new '24?
00:07:11.294 --> 00:07:13.629
Going into a new '24? and we realize we just
00:07:13.696 --> 00:07:14.430
And we realize we just take it a day at a time.
00:07:14.497 --> 00:07:17.500
Take it a day at a time. i think the crazy thing is --
00:07:17.567 --> 00:07:18.835
I think the crazy thing is -- and i would do
00:07:18.901 --> 00:07:19.368
And i would do this illustration myself,
00:07:19.435 --> 00:07:20.369
This illustration myself, but i'm wearing these boots.
00:07:20.436 --> 00:07:21.838
[laughter]
00:07:22.205 --> 00:07:25.141
They're new,
00:07:25.541 --> 00:07:25.975
They're new, i can't crease these.
00:07:26.042 --> 00:07:27.810
I can't crease these. these are my new book boots.
00:07:27.877 --> 00:07:29.278
These are my new book boots. i'm not messing these up,
00:07:29.345 --> 00:07:30.213
I'm not messing these up, they‘re heavy.
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:31.814
They‘re heavy. and i'm not called
00:07:31.881 --> 00:07:32.448
And i'm not called to the cardio ministry, anyway.
00:07:32.515 --> 00:07:34.617
To the cardio ministry, anyway. i've told y'all that before.
00:07:34.684 --> 00:07:36.919
I've told y'all that before. so now, here we go.

So now, here we go. do the new you and go.

Do the new you and go. and so, now, the devil got some
00:07:41.023 --> 00:07:44.794
And so, now, the devil got some of us out there
00:07:44.861 --> 00:07:45.962
Of us out there not settling but striving.
00:07:46.028 --> 00:07:52.602
Not settling but striving. because to do you,
00:07:52.668 --> 00:07:56.138
Because to do you, just do you and not let god
00:07:56.205 --> 00:07:57.306
Just do you and not let god have his say and to commit
00:07:57.373 --> 00:07:59.208
Have his say and to commit and put yourself in concrete
00:07:59.275 --> 00:08:00.443
And put yourself in concrete for what you've been up
00:08:00.510 --> 00:08:01.177
For what you've been up to this point, is a trap.
00:08:01.244 --> 00:08:02.345
To this point, is a trap. i know it looks like a bowl,
00:08:02.411 --> 00:08:03.279
I know it looks like a bowl, it's a trap.
00:08:03.346 --> 00:08:05.147
It's a trap. and i know this looks
00:08:05.214 --> 00:08:05.882
And i know this looks like walking,
00:08:05.948 --> 00:08:06.782
Like walking, but he's not going anywhere.
00:08:06.849 --> 00:08:08.217
[applause]
00:08:09.218 --> 00:08:14.223
To just do you is to live your
00:08:14.657 --> 00:08:16.792
To just do you is to live your life cheated.
00:08:16.859 --> 00:08:17.994
Life cheated. everybody, say, “cheated.”
00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:19.128
Everybody, say, “cheated.” >> congregation: cheated.
00:08:19.195 --> 00:08:21.297
>> congregation: cheated. >> but to get this idea in your
00:08:21.364 --> 00:08:22.298
>> but to get this idea in your mind that there is a future
00:08:22.365 --> 00:08:25.234
Mind that there is a future you that god would love more,
00:08:25.301 --> 00:08:27.703
You that god would love more, or there is a future
00:08:27.770 --> 00:08:28.938
Or there is a future you that god could use,
00:08:29.005 --> 00:08:31.474
You that god could use, or that there is a future you
00:08:31.541 --> 00:08:33.876
Or that there is a future you that would be worthy
00:08:33.943 --> 00:08:34.944
That would be worthy of love in a relationship,
00:08:35.011 --> 00:08:36.412
Of love in a relationship, or there is a future you that
00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:38.347
Or there is a future you that could feel good about yourself
00:08:38.414 --> 00:08:39.949
Could feel good about yourself and your life and is just
00:08:40.016 --> 00:08:41.317
And your life and is just one accomplishment away.
00:08:41.384 --> 00:08:46.088
One accomplishment away. is to get out of the trap
00:08:46.155 --> 00:08:48.524
Is to get out of the trap and onto the treadmill.
00:08:48.591 --> 00:08:50.860
And onto the treadmill. and as good as long
00:08:50.927 --> 00:08:52.128
And as good as long as it's good,
00:08:52.194 --> 00:08:54.096
As it's good, and it works as long
00:08:54.163 --> 00:08:55.097
And it works as long as it works,
00:08:55.164 --> 00:08:57.233
As it works, and i wonder,
00:08:57.300 --> 00:08:58.034
And i wonder, are there some people here
00:08:58.100 --> 00:08:58.868
Are there some people here who have been cheated
00:08:58.935 --> 00:09:01.337
Who have been cheated because you've settled
00:09:01.404 --> 00:09:02.371
Because you've settled for what you thought you were?
00:09:02.438 --> 00:09:04.840
For what you thought you were? but i also wonder,
00:09:04.907 --> 00:09:05.675
But i also wonder, are there some people
00:09:05.741 --> 00:09:06.442
Are there some people here who are chasing?
00:09:06.509 --> 00:09:09.178
Here who are chasing? chasing something that you think
00:09:09.245 --> 00:09:11.414
Chasing something that you think you need to be because you
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.215
Saw somebody else be it.
00:09:13.316 --> 00:09:16.252
Saw somebody else be it. chasing something that you
00:09:16.319 --> 00:09:18.387
Chasing something that you scrolled past and thought
00:09:18.454 --> 00:09:20.056
Scrolled past and thought it was the full story
00:09:20.122 --> 00:09:21.891
It was the full story of what a happy
00:09:21.958 --> 00:09:22.792
Of what a happy family looked like.
00:09:22.858 --> 00:09:24.193
Family looked like. chasing after future you.
00:09:24.260 --> 00:09:27.330
Chasing after future you. so, it goes like this, like,
00:09:27.396 --> 00:09:28.598
“yeah boy,
00:09:28.698 --> 00:09:29.732
“yeah boy, you're gonna be great one day.
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.634
You're gonna be great one day. all you gotta do is get through
00:09:31.701 --> 00:09:33.936
All you gotta do is get through high school and then you
00:09:34.003 --> 00:09:34.937
High school and then you go to college.
00:09:35.004 --> 00:09:36.005
Go to college. now, all you gotta do
00:09:36.072 --> 00:09:37.273
Now, all you gotta do is get this degree.
00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:38.674
Is get this degree. now all you gotta do is find
00:09:38.741 --> 00:09:40.576
Now all you gotta do is find somebody who's actually hiring
00:09:40.643 --> 00:09:42.712
Somebody who's actually hiring with that expensive degree that
00:09:42.778 --> 00:09:44.280
With that expensive degree that you're gonna be paying off
00:09:44.347 --> 00:09:45.414
You're gonna be paying off for the next 50 years.”
00:09:45.481 --> 00:09:48.050
For the next 50 years.” come on.
00:09:48.117 --> 00:09:48.851
Come on. and so, now, i'm chasing and i'm
00:09:48.918 --> 00:09:50.953
And so, now, i'm chasing and i'm coughing, and i'm running,
00:09:51.020 --> 00:09:52.722
Coughing, and i'm running, and i'm so glad
00:09:52.788 --> 00:09:53.623
And i'm so glad i had kids so they could
00:09:53.689 --> 00:09:54.924
I had kids so they could do this part
00:09:54.991 --> 00:09:55.691
Do this part of my illustrations
00:09:55.758 --> 00:09:56.792
Of my illustrations now that my beard
00:09:56.859 --> 00:09:57.927
Now that my beard needs to be dyed.
00:09:57.994 --> 00:09:59.295
Needs to be dyed. come on.
00:09:59.362 --> 00:09:59.996
Come on. and so, now i'm chasing
00:10:00.062 --> 00:10:01.530
And so, now i'm chasing and it's great,
00:10:01.597 --> 00:10:02.498
And it's great, but not only is
00:10:02.565 --> 00:10:03.432
But not only is it getting faster
00:10:03.499 --> 00:10:04.700
It getting faster and faster and harder,
00:10:04.767 --> 00:10:06.268
And faster and harder, but i look around and i realize,
00:10:06.335 --> 00:10:08.170
But i look around and i realize, i don't think i'm ever
00:10:08.237 --> 00:10:09.238
I don't think i'm ever gonna be anything but me.
00:10:09.305 --> 00:10:12.241
Gonna be anything but me. and here i am thinking that
00:10:12.308 --> 00:10:15.044
And here i am thinking that somehow this collage --
00:10:15.111 --> 00:10:18.080
Somehow this collage -- watch, cause here's what we do.
00:10:18.147 --> 00:10:19.281
Watch, cause here's what we do. we get a collage, right,
00:10:19.348 --> 00:10:20.516
We get a collage, right, and then we get the person
00:10:20.583 --> 00:10:21.817
And then we get the person with all the money,
00:10:21.884 --> 00:10:22.852
With all the money, we get the person
00:10:22.918 --> 00:10:23.653
We get the person with all the girls,
00:10:23.719 --> 00:10:24.654
With all the girls, we get the person
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.521
We get the person with all the success,
00:10:25.588 --> 00:10:26.722
With all the success, with all the followers.
00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:28.024
With all the followers. “oh, if i had 1,000 followers.”
00:10:28.090 --> 00:10:29.792
“oh, if i had 1,000 followers.” now you need 10,000.
00:10:29.859 --> 00:10:31.127
Now you need 10,000. beep, just went up.
00:10:31.193 --> 00:10:32.128
Beep, just went up. beep, just went up.
00:10:32.194 --> 00:10:33.429
Beep, just went up. here comes the incline.
00:10:33.496 --> 00:10:34.597
Here comes the incline. now we got social media.
00:10:34.664 --> 00:10:36.132
Now we got social media. i didn't even have twitter
00:10:36.198 --> 00:10:37.667
I didn't even have twitter when i was a teenager.
00:10:37.733 --> 00:10:38.834
When i was a teenager. and it's not even called twitter
00:10:38.901 --> 00:10:40.169
And it's not even called twitter anymore and my beard is gray
00:10:40.236 --> 00:10:42.471
Anymore and my beard is gray and i'm still chasing going,
00:10:42.538 --> 00:10:44.540
And i'm still chasing going, “well, maybe if i turn 50,
00:10:44.607 --> 00:10:45.908
“well, maybe if i turn 50, i'll have wisdom.
00:10:45.975 --> 00:10:46.876
I'll have wisdom. and maybe if i get through this,
00:10:46.942 --> 00:10:48.511
And maybe if i get through this, i'll be happy
00:10:48.577 --> 00:10:49.378
I'll be happy and i'm gonna rest when,
00:10:49.445 --> 00:10:50.780
And i'm gonna rest when, and i'm gonna feel
00:10:50.846 --> 00:10:51.447
And i'm gonna feel good about myself when.”
00:10:51.514 --> 00:10:52.782
Good about myself when.” and before you know it --
00:10:52.848 --> 00:10:53.749
And before you know it -- no, i'm going up,
00:10:53.816 --> 00:10:54.383
No, i'm going up, i'm going up, i'm going up,
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:55.584
I'm going up, i'm going up, i'm going up.
00:10:55.651 --> 00:10:56.986
I'm going up. you're holding on,
00:10:57.053 --> 00:10:58.688
You're holding on, but the bible says --
00:10:58.754 --> 00:11:01.791
But the bible says -- give me jeremiah 1:5,
00:11:01.857 --> 00:11:04.093
Give me jeremiah 1:5, “the word of the lord came
00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:05.227
To me and said,
00:11:05.327 --> 00:11:06.962
To me and said, ‘before you were formed,
00:11:07.029 --> 00:11:10.232
‘before you were formed, i knew you.'”
00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:18.140
The word of the lord
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.375
The word of the lord came to me.
00:11:19.442 --> 00:11:21.444
Came to me. the word of the lord came to me.
00:11:21.510 --> 00:11:24.280
The word of the lord came to me. the word of the lord
00:11:24.346 --> 00:11:25.481
The word of the lord is coming to you right now.
00:11:25.548 --> 00:11:28.217
Is coming to you right now. out of the trap,
00:11:28.284 --> 00:11:30.119
Out of the trap, off of the treadmill
00:11:30.186 --> 00:11:32.321
Off of the treadmill and into the truth,
00:11:32.388 --> 00:11:34.590
And into the truth, until the truth gets into you
00:11:34.657 --> 00:11:37.693
Until the truth gets into you and you recognize,
00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:40.396
And you recognize, i've been running
00:11:40.463 --> 00:11:41.564
I've been running after something
00:11:41.630 --> 00:11:43.699
After something that's already mine.
00:11:43.766 --> 00:11:46.535
That's already mine. i've just been living
00:11:46.602 --> 00:11:48.070
I've just been living beneath its potential.
00:11:48.137 --> 00:11:50.806
Beneath its potential. i'm already cleaned
00:11:50.873 --> 00:11:52.308
I'm already cleaned by his blood.
00:11:52.374 --> 00:11:53.743
By his blood. i'm already saved by his grace.
00:11:53.809 --> 00:11:56.712
I'm already saved by his grace. i'm already redeemed
00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:58.247
I'm already redeemed by his liberty.
00:11:58.314 --> 00:12:00.082
By his liberty. i'm already to the praise
00:12:00.149 --> 00:12:01.951
I'm already to the praise of his glorious grace.
00:12:02.017 --> 00:12:03.085
Of his glorious grace. why?
00:12:03.152 --> 00:12:05.087
Why? because i refuse to live cheated
00:12:05.154 --> 00:12:07.923
Because i refuse to live cheated and i refuse to live
00:12:07.990 --> 00:12:09.358
And i refuse to live chasing ‘cause
00:12:09.425 --> 00:12:12.762
Chasing ‘cause i'm chosen, chosen.
00:12:12.828 --> 00:12:17.032
I'm chosen, chosen. say it.
00:12:17.099 --> 00:12:17.566
Say it. get that word in your mouth,
00:12:17.633 --> 00:12:18.467
Get that word in your mouth, chosen, chosen, chosen.
00:12:18.534 --> 00:12:23.038
Chosen, chosen, chosen. i love you, holly,
00:12:23.105 --> 00:12:23.839
I love you, holly, but i didn't pick you
00:12:23.906 --> 00:12:24.740
But i didn't pick you for that illustration.
00:12:24.807 --> 00:12:26.876
I didn't pick you for that
00:12:26.976 --> 00:12:27.676
I didn't pick you for that illustration because i didn't
00:12:27.743 --> 00:12:29.011
Illustration because i didn't know if you could last long
00:12:29.078 --> 00:12:30.446
Know if you could last long enough on 12 for me
00:12:30.513 --> 00:12:31.814
Enough on 12 for me to get the scripture up.
00:12:31.881 --> 00:12:32.848
To get the scripture up. and i'm not picking on you,
00:12:32.915 --> 00:12:33.816
And i'm not picking on you, you do a lot of amazing things.
00:12:33.883 --> 00:12:35.284
You do a lot of amazing things. i didn't pick you for it.
00:12:35.351 --> 00:12:38.220
I didn't pick you for it. i picked somebody --
00:12:38.287 --> 00:12:39.421
I chose him because i knew
00:12:39.522 --> 00:12:46.028
I chose him because i knew that if he had to,
00:12:46.095 --> 00:12:46.729
That if he had to, he could beat me up.
00:12:46.796 --> 00:12:47.396
He could beat me up. he's in wrestling shape.
00:12:47.463 --> 00:12:48.764
[laughter]
00:12:49.365 --> 00:12:50.733
I'm telling you god chose you.
00:12:51.367 --> 00:12:54.170
I'm telling you god chose you. i'm telling you god chose you.
00:12:54.236 --> 00:12:57.106
I'm telling you god chose you. and i'm saying he knew you.
00:12:57.173 --> 00:13:00.442
And i'm saying he knew you. see, i want you
00:13:00.509 --> 00:13:01.076
See, i want you to see the difference.
00:13:01.143 --> 00:13:01.610
To see the difference. close your eyes.
00:13:01.677 --> 00:13:02.912
Close your eyes. you know how you've been chasing
00:13:02.978 --> 00:13:03.779
You know how you've been chasing after something that you
00:13:03.846 --> 00:13:05.247
After something that you think when you get it,
00:13:05.314 --> 00:13:06.115
Think when you get it, when you get there,
00:13:06.182 --> 00:13:06.715
When you get there, “i'mma do the new me.
00:13:06.782 --> 00:13:07.583
“i'mma do the new me. new year, new me.”
00:13:07.650 --> 00:13:08.717
New year, new me.” no, new year same nose.
00:13:08.784 --> 00:13:10.553
[laughter]
00:13:10.986 --> 00:13:12.054
Yeah.
00:13:13.255 --> 00:13:14.990
Yeah. but what if you've been running
00:13:15.057 --> 00:13:17.326
But what if you've been running after something
00:13:17.393 --> 00:13:19.562
After something that is already yours?
00:13:19.628 --> 00:13:21.931
That is already yours? perhaps, perhaps the addiction
00:13:21.997 --> 00:13:25.734
Perhaps, perhaps the addiction is something that the enemy
00:13:25.801 --> 00:13:26.836
Is something that the enemy planted in your life because
00:13:26.902 --> 00:13:29.905
Planted in your life because there is something so amazing
00:13:29.972 --> 00:13:32.508
There is something so amazing inside of you that he
00:13:32.575 --> 00:13:35.477
Inside of you that he wants your birthright,
00:13:35.544 --> 00:13:37.780
Wants your birthright, and you gave it
00:13:37.847 --> 00:13:38.314
And you gave it away for a bowl.
00:13:38.380 --> 00:13:41.116
Away for a bowl. perhaps god really is --
00:13:41.183 --> 00:13:43.819
Perhaps god really is -- now, i'm gonna minister
00:13:43.886 --> 00:13:44.587
Now, i'm gonna minister this ‘cause this is me,
00:13:44.653 --> 00:13:45.454
This ‘cause this is me, this is me right here.
00:13:45.521 --> 00:13:46.255
This is me right here. watch this ‘cause
00:13:46.322 --> 00:13:47.156
Watch this ‘cause i sit there and go,
00:13:47.223 --> 00:13:47.857
I sit there and go, “well, i'm somebody
00:13:47.923 --> 00:13:49.491
“well, i'm somebody who goes for it.
00:13:49.558 --> 00:13:50.392
Who goes for it. i'm somebody who doesn't settle.
00:13:50.459 --> 00:13:51.927
I'm somebody who doesn't settle. i'm somebody who really demands
00:13:51.994 --> 00:13:53.362
I'm somebody who really demands the best out of myself.
00:13:53.429 --> 00:13:54.430
The best out of myself. i'm somebody who wants
00:13:54.496 --> 00:13:55.197
I'm somebody who wants to improve.”
00:13:55.264 --> 00:13:55.798
To improve.” that's fine,
00:13:55.865 --> 00:13:56.298
That's fine, it's called self-righteousness.
00:13:56.365 --> 00:13:58.200
It's called self-righteousness. because when i talk like that
00:13:58.267 --> 00:14:00.069
Because when i talk like that and i don't receive by grace,
00:14:00.135 --> 00:14:03.205
And i don't receive by grace, i end up like graham
00:14:03.272 --> 00:14:05.307
I end up like graham almost was --
00:14:05.374 --> 00:14:05.841
Almost was -- he's still breathing
00:14:05.908 --> 00:14:06.342
He's still breathing heavy up here.
00:14:06.408 --> 00:14:06.809
Heavy up here. don't let him fool you
00:14:06.876 --> 00:14:07.443
Don't let him fool you with his closed mouth.
00:14:07.509 --> 00:14:08.711
With his closed mouth. i hear him breathing.
00:14:08.777 --> 00:14:10.546
I hear him breathing. running after something that how
00:14:10.613 --> 00:14:11.680
Running after something that how long can i keep this up?
00:14:11.747 --> 00:14:14.717
Long can i keep this up? and i'm chasing, but i'm chosen.
00:14:14.783 --> 00:14:21.590
And i'm chasing, but i'm chosen. you don't have to chase
00:14:21.657 --> 00:14:22.524
You don't have to chase it when you're chosen.
00:14:22.591 --> 00:14:24.226
[applause]
00:14:25.561 --> 00:14:34.236

00:14:34.737 --> 00:14:36.305
You can walk in it. and i mean really walk
00:14:36.372 --> 00:14:37.206
And i mean really walk not on a treadmill of --
00:14:37.273 --> 00:14:38.908
Not on a treadmill of -- boy, you can walk with god,
00:14:38.974 --> 00:14:40.609
Boy, you can walk with god, walk through your day,
00:14:40.676 --> 00:14:41.443
Walk through your day, walk through your life.
00:14:41.510 --> 00:14:42.578
Walk through your life. your father will speak to you.

Your father will. slap stuff out

Slap stuff out of your hands.
00:14:47.950 --> 00:14:48.384
[laughter]
00:14:48.784 --> 00:14:50.386
Your father will look at you
00:14:50.786 --> 00:14:51.453
Your father will look at you going so hard because,
00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:52.955
Going so hard because, oh when i wrote this book
00:14:53.022 --> 00:14:54.056
Oh when i wrote this book i thought,
00:14:54.123 --> 00:14:55.024
I thought, “i don't want people to just see
00:14:55.090 --> 00:14:56.025
“i don't want people to just see the title and go,
00:14:56.091 --> 00:14:56.659
The title and go, “another one of those.
00:14:56.725 --> 00:14:58.594
“another one of those. do the new me.
00:14:58.661 --> 00:14:59.328
Do the new me. what's so wrong
00:14:59.395 --> 00:14:59.895
What's so wrong with the old me?”
00:14:59.962 --> 00:15:00.462
With the old me?” no, no, no.
00:15:00.529 --> 00:15:02.031
No, no, no. you're just not going
00:15:02.097 --> 00:15:02.765
You're just not going back far enough.
00:15:02.831 --> 00:15:09.872
Back far enough. god told jeremiah,
00:15:09.939 --> 00:15:12.841
God told jeremiah, “i'm gonna call
00:15:12.908 --> 00:15:13.475
“i'm gonna call you to do a new thing?”
00:15:13.542 --> 00:15:14.209
You to do a new thing?” how many sense god has calling
00:15:14.276 --> 00:15:15.377
How many sense god has calling you to stretch your faith
00:15:15.444 --> 00:15:16.879
You to stretch your faith in new and unique ways that
00:15:16.946 --> 00:15:19.081
In new and unique ways that are nuanced to you
00:15:19.148 --> 00:15:20.783
Are nuanced to you and this message?
00:15:20.849 --> 00:15:22.284
And this message? just put in the chat,
00:15:22.351 --> 00:15:23.285
Just put in the chat, “a new thing.
00:15:23.352 --> 00:15:24.086
“a new thing. a new thing.”
00:15:24.153 --> 00:15:24.853
A new thing.” alright.
00:15:24.920 --> 00:15:25.721
Alright. but see, god says,
00:15:25.788 --> 00:15:29.525
But see, god says, “before i called you
00:15:29.591 --> 00:15:30.326
“before i called you to do the new thing,
00:15:30.392 --> 00:15:32.261
To do the new thing, before you were born,
00:15:32.328 --> 00:15:34.463
Before you were born, i knew you.”
00:15:34.530 --> 00:15:39.835
I knew you.” which takes the pressure
00:15:39.902 --> 00:15:40.836
Which takes the pressure off of me because it lets me
00:15:40.903 --> 00:15:43.572
Off of me because it lets me know that god is very,
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.774
Know that god is very, very comfortable
00:15:45.841 --> 00:15:47.843
Very comfortable with my process,
00:15:47.910 --> 00:15:50.446
And that he is partnering
00:15:50.546 --> 00:15:51.981
And that he is partnering with me in the process.
00:15:52.047 --> 00:15:55.184
With me in the process. and i am not chasing after a god
00:15:55.250 --> 00:15:57.720
And i am not chasing after a god who might love me
00:15:57.786 --> 00:15:58.787
Who might love me when i kick this habit.
00:15:58.854 --> 00:16:00.990
When i kick this habit. and i am not chasing after
00:16:01.056 --> 00:16:02.591

00:16:02.658 --> 00:16:04.026
An achievement that might make me feel like
00:16:04.093 --> 00:16:04.960

Who's not married right now. i am not chasing another person
00:16:09.999 --> 00:16:12.334
I am not chasing another person thinking they will make
00:16:12.401 --> 00:16:13.235
Thinking they will make me whole and fulfilled.

00:16:18.374 --> 00:16:20.342
I am not chasing an opportunity to collaborate in my business
00:16:20.409 --> 00:16:22.311
To collaborate in my business thinking that that will somehow
00:16:22.378 --> 00:16:23.712
Thinking that that will somehow then set me free.
00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:24.980
Then set me free. i'm already free.
00:16:25.047 --> 00:16:26.015
[applause]
00:16:26.648 --> 00:16:29.585

And i'm choosing, i'm choosing to walk
00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:33.122
I'm choosing to walk away from the bowl.
00:16:33.188 --> 00:16:33.756
Away from the bowl. i'm choosing because
00:16:33.822 --> 00:16:36.258
I'm choosing because god chose you.
00:16:36.325 --> 00:16:43.465
God chose you. i believe god chose
00:16:43.532 --> 00:16:44.199
I believe god chose me to do this.
00:16:44.266 --> 00:16:46.635
Me to do this. i struggle with it.
00:16:46.702 --> 00:16:47.403
I struggle with it. i doubt it sometimes.
00:16:47.469 --> 00:16:49.104
I doubt it sometimes. y'all, i was reading jeremiah
00:16:49.171 --> 00:16:50.005

15th chapter. by the way,
00:16:59.448 --> 00:16:59.848
By the way, if you read jeremiah,
00:16:59.915 --> 00:17:00.983
If you read jeremiah, chapter 1 verse 6 is
00:17:01.050 --> 00:17:01.884
Chapter 1 verse 6 is about the high point.
00:17:01.950 --> 00:17:02.851
About the high point. it gets really dark
00:17:02.918 --> 00:17:03.852
It gets really dark for the next ten chapters.
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.521
For the next ten chapters. isn't that crazy?
00:17:05.587 --> 00:17:06.155
Isn't that crazy? god was calling him
00:17:06.221 --> 00:17:06.755
God was calling him to do something hard.
00:17:06.822 --> 00:17:07.456
To do something hard. he said,
00:17:07.523 --> 00:17:07.856
He said, “i know it's gonna be hard.

He had a plan for me.” go to verse 11

Go to verse 11 they don't believe me yet.

They don't believe me yet. takes a lot of scripture
00:17:44.760 --> 00:17:45.594
Takes a lot of scripture to convince these people.
00:17:45.661 --> 00:17:46.495
To convince these people. they're kinda stubborn, graham.
00:17:46.562 --> 00:17:47.262

Of his will.” i'm worried that some of you
00:18:06.515 --> 00:18:08.617
I'm worried that some of you are walking and running on
00:18:08.684 --> 00:18:10.652
A treadmill after things that
00:18:10.752 --> 00:18:11.887
A treadmill after things that aren't even god's will for you.

Now, comes the question, will you?
00:18:29.638 --> 00:18:32.241
Will you? which you will you choose?
00:18:32.307 --> 00:18:35.310
Which you will you choose? because i have to decide this
00:18:35.377 --> 00:18:36.211
Because i have to decide this every day i wake up in my life.
00:18:36.278 --> 00:18:38.881
Every day i wake up in my life. am i gonna choose the me
00:18:38.947 --> 00:18:39.882

To the surprise of the holy spirit of god?
00:18:44.419 --> 00:18:45.587
Of the holy spirit of god? you can probably sit down now.

You can probably sit down now. didn't he do a great job?
00:18:46.488 --> 00:18:48.190

I made my commitment to christ, 16 years old.
00:19:03.105 --> 00:19:04.006
16 years old. so, when i look at him,
00:19:04.072 --> 00:19:04.806
So, when i look at him, i think about that.
00:19:04.873 --> 00:19:05.674
I think about that. makes me wanna cry all
00:19:05.741 --> 00:19:06.708
Makes me wanna cry all the things god could

The things god could do through him.
00:19:07.543 --> 00:19:08.110
Do through him. but don't ever chase what they
00:19:08.177 --> 00:19:11.013
But don't ever chase what they say you can be.
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.049
Say you can be. if we did, i probably wouldn't
00:19:14.116 --> 00:19:17.219
If we did, i probably wouldn't be standing here today.
00:19:17.286 --> 00:19:20.556

Would start to rock one way, i would naturally
00:20:04.166 --> 00:20:05.701
