You can turn in your Bibles to John 5. John 5, I've got a short message for us tonight, and I'm excited about how we can respond to it. Really felt like the Lord was highlighting this passage for us tonight, and so we're gonna just hop right in, end at John 5, I wanna read the passage, and then we're gonna talk through it a little bit. And I really believe that the Lord wants to do miracles tonight, and I've got faith and anticipation for how He's going to touch us, and what He's gonna do in the room.
So let's just jump in. Lord, we love you. We thank you that you are the perfect leader. And Lord, we wanna come up under your word.
And Lord, we don't want to read your word, and then just know it or know about it. We want experiential knowledge. We wanna have the word inform, not just how we think, but how we act. We wanna respond to your word, not just hear it.
So would you just help us be a responsive bride to your truth in Jesus' name? Amen. John 5, after this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now, there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate of Fool in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades.
And in these lay a multitude of invalids blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been an invalid for 38 years. And when Jesus saw him laying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, do you wanna be healed? The sick man answered him, and he said, sir, you got no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up.
And while I'm going, then another one steps in before me. Jesus said to him, get up, take up your bed and walk. And at once, the man was healed, he took up his bed and he walked. Now that day was the Sabbath, so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, it is the Sabbath, it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.
It's hilarious. But he answered them, well, the man who healed me, that man said to take up your bed and walk. And they asked him, who's this guy who said take up your bed and walk? Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was for Jesus had withdrawn as there was a crowd in that place.
14, after where Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, see you're well, send no more that nothing worse may happen to you. The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, my father is working until now and I am working.
Jesus walks into this pool of Bethesda and I don't know if you've ever been to like a water park or been on a cruise or something like that. Do you know how you have to show up early or you don't get the loungers? You know what I'm talking about? I don't know why people, like we went on a cruise one time and you're wanting to sleep in for your vacation, but then you've got the people that wake up at seven or six a.m.
on vacation and they take all the spots and there's no spots by the pool. And then you show up with your four kids, you got a family of six and you're hoping to find some shade, it's 100 degrees and it's humid in Minnesota and you're like, we're gonna go to a water park. You can't find any loungers at all, know where to be seen. You can't find a spot unless it's in the direct sunlight and there's one of them, you know?
This guy had been here for 38 years by this pool. How many of you know he had the perfect spot right next to that pool? He was there the whole time. He beat everybody out in terms of the best seat in the house but he still was unable to get into the pool when there was this kind of superstitious idea around this pool that there was healing power in the pool and that there would be an angel that would stir the waters.
Now some scholars believe that there would be a stirring of the waters and it's actually a Greek healing God and the waters would get stirred up because a snake would crawl up his leg and that was meaning that healing was gonna come to the water. So there's kind of different opinions, whether it was an angel or whether this was actually pagan stirring up of water. But regardless, either way, we've got crowds of people that are needing a miracle and this man has been there for 38 years. Now can you imagine, he's probably in his 50s or 60s and he's been sitting by the spool for a very long time and things are broken.
And I think tonight, going into tonight, I'll just send something from the Lord that there's things that are broken in many of our lives, things that are not aligned, things that aren't the way that they should be and there's some tension there. And some of us feel stuck. We feel like there's things that are broken. And I don't know what it is.
It might be in your body. You might just, you don't sleep enough. Maybe you're out of control with food. Maybe you're not parenting your body and your body is actually more in charge than your spirit is on a daily basis over how you take care of yourself.
Maybe it's in your soul and you've got broken relationships. Maybe there's unforgiveness, maybe there's bitterness. There's things that are broken in your mind. Maybe it's anxiety, maybe it's depression, maybe it's discouragement.
Not hopelessness setting in. Or maybe you're just not feeling connected to the Lord. And you're going, yeah, I just, I don't know why I'm not connected to the Lord, but then you never have any time to spend with him. You're going, you're kind of like this guy who's sitting right next to the pool.
And when Jesus says, do you wanna get healed? Do you wanna get better? And it's almost become just a life, it has become a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle of all of his relationships are connected to infirmity.
All of his waking hours is connected to the problem that he's struggling with in his life. And so when Jesus says, do you wanna get healed? What surfaces is all of the reasons why he hasn't been healed, right? I don't know about you, but I am struggling with a mindset of I am mostly seeing problems and not solutions in my life.
I'm mostly problem focused. I'm mostly thinking about all of the reasons why not. I'm mostly thinking about all of the hurdles. I'm mostly intimidated by the stressful, overwhelming, whatever it is, fill in the blank.
When I look at this passage, I think it's very interesting that it's 38 years, because that's the exact amount of time that Israel was in the wilderness. After they get set free from slavery, before they go into the Promised Land, it's 38 years. You're going, no, it's 40 years. Well, two years into them being in the wilderness, the Lord said in Deuteronomy 1, there's this passage where the Lord's like, okay, it's time to go into the Promised Land.
I'll read just a phrase from Deuteronomy 1, 6-7. The Lord our God has said to us at Mount Horeb, you have stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp, advance into the hill country of the Amorites, and go into the all the neighboring peoples, basically take the land. This is two years in after they crossed the Red Sea.
Then they started getting some ideas. Well, maybe we should scout it out. Maybe we should bring some spies in. Maybe some spies will help us know the land a little bit better, so we have a better strategy.
No, the Lord just said go into the land of the Malchites, like ready said go. And we get our ideas. He's like, well, I got some ideas. Hold up, let's not be so quick to obey.
Let's figure this out. Before I obey God, let me figure it out. And then intimidation starts setting in. Then we start thinking about how much it's going to cost.
Then we start thinking about, I don't know if this is going to work out for me. And then all of a sudden we're going, ah, you probably shouldn't. And then we get stuck. And our disobedience turns into beds in wilderness places.
We're wondering why we're miserable. We're making our bed next to these superstitious places, trying to get a breakthrough. Hoping that someone anointed will come and touch our forehead and all the wrong things are going to be made right. And there's an intimidation factor for us to leave that place.
Because familiarity is safe, right? It feels familiar, and so it feels comfortable. Even though we've, OK, some of us have just kind of settled in to dysfunction and accepted it as this is life. OK?
You've just kind of taken it and gone, well, this is dysfunctional, but everybody's bit dysfunctional. We're all messed up. We're just going to accept it. It kind of just feels a little bit too much work or too much.
It feels intimidating to kind of push on that thing, right? And I think the Lord has a question for us. Hey, do you like this bed? Do you want to be on this mat?
Do you still want to stay here? Or do you want to get healed? Do you want a miracle of the mind? I really feel like the Lord is saying, I've got miracles of the mind prepared.
Miracles of the mind. Because that's what Israel was struggling with. Israel was struggling with a mindset. And the mindset is what kept them in the wilderness.
The mindset is what kept them in year after year after year of not moving into the next chapter. I think a lot of us want to move into the next chapter out of what we've been struggling with, out of what's been broken. And I love what Jesus responds to this guy. Because what does he respond with?
He responds with pity. He's kind of just, do you know what I've found? I do this sometimes. You would never do this, but I do this sometimes.
We're all like fish for pity a little bit. Oh, this is, I don't like saying this. Where I'm kind of like, that was really hard, you know? I'll talk about all of the things that are really difficult.
And I'm not going to ask for help. See, he doesn't even ask for help. He's so far gone into victim's own that he's not even willing to kind of be rejected. Because he doesn't even want to ask directly for help.
But he's just going to lay out his case of pity, hoping that he gets help. He's like, nobody helps me. Everybody sneaks in before me. Do you see that?
Some of us are in that spot. How dare you? No, I'm just, some of us are so like, I don't even want to ask for help because I'm afraid of rejection. So I'm not even going to go there, but I will have a sob story.
And some of us have the things that are broken, or oftentimes the things that we might complain about the most. There's maybe some, see, a lot of times what the enemy wants us to get distracted with is like, yeah, what's really broken is sexuality. You know, there's, there's, it's like all of a sudden, the primary sin that every Christian maybe struggles with his sexual sin. And just like, if I'm a final sexual sin, I'm doing great.
If I'm not struggling with that, and I'm going, hey guys, there's so much beyond sexual purity that we can walk in, okay? It's like, yes, let's walk in holiness. Yes, let's walk in purity. Let's not digest demonic immorality that's sexually, that's sexually destroying us from the inside out.
That's good, like let's not do that, right? Let's walk in purity. Let's not have secrets. Let's be accountable, okay?
Let's like, let's walk in holiness, let's do it. But holiness is not just refraining from sexual sin. And what I want to call us into, man, it got quiet. I'm just, I think we've made our bed in other mindsets that are anti-kingdom of heaven.
Yeah, there's sexual brokenness. And yes, it is a major problem in the church. And I want to call us all to go, hey, if that's something that you're struggling with on a daily basis, let's make it, this is a great moment for you. It's a great excuse to go.
I'm not gonna do that anymore. I'm just gonna turn and I'm gonna repent. So if you need an excuse, if you need somebody to tell you, hey, stop it. There it is.
If you need a dad to say, hey, honey, that's not good for you. Would you stop digesting all of that mess? Would you stop cheapening you and your sexuality and acting like anybody can just take advantage of you or anybody can use you? Would you just, honey, you don't know who you are.
You don't know how worth, how much worth you have, how much value you have? Young man, God is calling you to actually not be a consumer, but a lover that loves extravagantly, that you're not to consume people. You're not to consume people on screens. You're not to consume women or men or whatever.
You're to be one that becomes love. I guess like I wasn't playing on that, but let's go. You've been bought at a price. You've been bought at a high price.
You're not your own. Your body is a temple. It's not theirs unless you've got a ring. You're not anybody else's other than the Lord's and your spouse, okay?
I gotta lean in, I gotta lean in. We are cheapening the cross. We are Jesus. We just meditated for an hour on the blood of Jesus.
We're talking about God, blood, poured out. The blood of God demands everything. It's the free gift of righteousness. The gospel is such great news.
The gospel is the best. It's all free and yet it costs us everything. And this is one of the things that it costs us. It costs us surrendering every part of our life to Jesus, including our sexuality.
I don't care what our friends have been doing. I don't care what your friends that don't know Jesus do. I don't care what your church friends do. Your church friends, your Christian friends, they are not the standard of walking out righteousness.
The world is not the standard for sexuality. Jesus and what he says is the thing that is the standard. You being set apart unto the Lord is the standard. And you're like, man, I'm talking to my friends that don't know Jesus, they're like, yeah, right.
You're not gonna have sex with a woman. Are you serious? You're saying that if you weren't married, you would walk out purity for the next, you wouldn't look at anything. You're saying that for the next 10, 20, 30 years, if in your singleness, you wouldn't do that.
And I'm saying, well, I'm not my own. I've surrendered everything, my whole sexuality. It doesn't matter if it's same sex attraction, if I consider myself bisexual or whatever it is, no, no, no, it's all surrendered to the Lord. Homosexual desire, heterosexual desire, whatever it is, it's all surrendered.
Because I'm not my own. I decided to die to my old nature where I said, my body has all the rights. And then I gave my life to Jesus and said, okay, I died to all of my selfish rights and what I feel like and what my mind says I can do whenever I want to. And now I've actually stepped into the love of God.
And it's so much better than totally screwing up, totally failing, totally having somebody use me for their own sexual fetishes. And then I feel like trash and I don't know why I feel like trash and then I have to grapple with that. And the Lord's like, hey, you don't have to. You don't have to send the picture.
You don't have to actually be used and you don't have to use. You don't have to send the messages. You don't have to scroll on TikTok. You don't have to live in the ways of the world.
Wow, man, I just haven't even, the Lord's calling us. He's going, let's turn. It doesn't have to be a sad, mad, angry moment. But it does get to be a decision to go, I could turn though.
Why? Yeah, it's gonna benefit you. Yeah, it's gonna be good for you. Yeah, it's gonna create a wholeness in every part of your life.
And you're so distracted with all of these things in the world that you can't even focus. The Lord's going, hey, let's come out of Babylon. Let's come out of the way of the world. And let's walk in righteousness and wholeness.
And you're like, but what if I fail? Yeah, you're gonna screw up. But then you bounce back up and you go, that's not who I am, like what Scott was saying. And the shame and the guilt, do you know what Jesus says to this man?
He says, three things. He makes it super simple. He says, stand up, grab that bed that you've been laying in for 38 years as you've been groveling for 38 years, hoping, wishing, whatever. Grab that thing.
That thing has actually been a bed of suffering, a bed of destruction, a bed of pain, a bed of offense, a bed of bitterness, a bed of self pity. And he's going, pick that thing up. You got authority over that thing. And now I want you to walk, I want you to walk into the promises.
I want you to walk into the promise land. I was saying that it's not just about sexuality, but now I'm leaning in. What else? I'm so distracted by it.
I think that there's dysfunction of so many different kinds in our minds. Fear just is like, gets free rein. We act like fear is like a friend. Anxiety is just accepted in our generation.
It's just like everybody's going to have anxiety. It's just our kind of, it's just how it is. We're accepting Jesus as like, be anxious about nothing. And then we're like, but I struggle and I'm going to always struggle.
It's like, man, is that what the Lord says? Yeah, I'm always just going to have anxiety attacks. It's just my portion. It's like, what if it wasn't?
Yeah, I'm struggling with suicidal ideation. It's just kind of like always going to be there. It's like, no, yeah, I've just, I'm always depressed. No, no, no, no.
Yeah, I'm just kind of a slob. I don't take care of my stuff. No, hey, wake up. Wake up.
You're in this. Yeah, I'm always just going to be indecisive. I'm always going to be disorganized. I'm always going to be irresponsible.
I'm always going to be an addict. I'm always going to struggle. I'm always going to be waiting. I'm never going to be content.
I'm always going to have an excuse. Maybe someday, maybe. I don't know, but maybe it's not my time. I think the Lord has some miracles of the mind.
For us to start thinking differently. And he's going to be like, hey, let's get up. He looks around all the crowds in the same boat. All your peers, all your coworkers.
I just feel like the Lord's even highlighting some of us. There might be one person in the room where you're in the restaurant, like hospitality industry. And you've been slipping into compromise because you're surrounded, maybe you're a waitress or something like that, and a waiter, a waitress. And you've been slipping into compromise because you're surrounded by worldliness.
And the Lord is going, hey, I've got my eyes on you. We're going to get up today. We're going to get up. We're taking that bed.
And you're going to have authority over that thing. We're not living like this anymore. I have something better for you. If that's not you, then you steal it and take it into your own situation.
Take that prophetic word and then apply it to whatever your scenario is. All right? This man has so many excuses. So comfortable.
He's become familiar with the lifestyle by that pool. And the Lord is, he's got three things. All these three things. Get up, take your bed, and start walking.
He makes it not so complicated. Can you imagine if Jesus gave him 15 steps? Do this, do that, do this. He makes it really simple.
OK? A lot of times we're thinking, if I am going to walk in my freedom in Jesus, it's going to be super complicated. We start thinking this has got to be the longest process. I've got a friend.
And he just talks about how he had this one conversation with a spiritual father. He's struggling with sexual addiction for many years. He's like, I had one conversation with a guy that understood the gospel. And the guy was like, hey, you think this is going to be a really long process, don't you?
Like that freedom has to take years. What if it was just more simple than you think? What if it didn't have to take years? What if it was just like choices?
We know that Jesus has set us free in the spirit, right? He's washed us clean, and he's set us free from the power of sin. Many of us are struggling in between our ears and with our bodies. You're going, I know that that's true.
We just meditate on for all worship. I know it's true in here. But as my experience is happening, it's not true. And so what happens is there's something broken in your alignment of your body and your soul coming under submission to the Holy Spirit, right?
So things are out of whack. Sin is running rampant. Rampant. And now you start realizing, huh, this isn't how it's supposed to be.
And you go, I'm going to choose, instead of agreeing with, yeah, I'm under this. I'm going to be under sin. I'm going to be, this is always how it's going to be. What if you just agreed with what's true spiritually and had that inform how you think, and then had that inform how you live, okay?
So freedom is not, yeah, he said you're free. And now you've got to actually walk it out. So it's like Jesus, he's, he says to the man, this is how Jesus does it, you guys. This is how he does it.
He goes, you have to participate in your freedom. You can't just lay there. No, he's not going to let you just lay there and be like, do it. He's, that's not how he works.
He goes, I want you to experience the partnership. He's going, it's going to be your faith and my power and my truth that's actually going to spontaneously bring freedom and that thing is going to get worked out in your everyday life. So you start stepping out in the truth and truth sets you free, the truth in your brain doesn't set you free. Truth actually stepped out, makes you free, right?
Faith without works is dead. So you actually have to work out the truth. So that's why Jesus says, gives him three next steps. And he's giving us three next steps tonight because he wants to do miracles, okay?
He's going to do miracles. I'm so excited for him to do miracles tonight. And he's going to meet us. He's going to meet us in this place and it's going to be by faith, okay?
We're supposed to come up. This is what happens after we start walking out freedom. I want you to know this. We start taking ground, everybody say take ground.
In Joshua one, remember, there's the story line of the Israelites, they're in the wilderness for 38 years. Then finally, everyone of that generation dies off. And Jesus, or John, no, neither of them. Joshua.
Wow, Joshua, third time's a charm. Joshua is commanded, hey, be strong and courageous and everywhere where your foot treads, that's going to be your ground. That's going to be your land, okay? And so the same thing is true for us.
The Lord is going to give you ground in these areas where you've been misaligned, where things have been broken in your mind. He's going to give you that ground. He already has purchased it for you. Now you take it by faith.
So what does that mean? It's like, if you're going, I'm always going to struggle with anxiety. The Lord's like, you're not always going to struggle with anxiety. And I'm actually going to bring wholeness and peace and shalom to all of those fears that are underneath the surface that have been living in your body because of trauma in the past.
I'm actually going to step into those places and I want to meet you in those places. And I'm going to bring healing to those places. So that's what you're going to start believing. That's going to be the ground you're going to take, okay?
Now, what happens when you take ground? The enemy comes over and he's like, hey, can I have that ground back? He starts knocking on the door. He starts challenging the ground that you've already taken.
Some of us are like, I thought he sent me free, but then I got tempted with the same thing the next day. And we're confused by temptation. We're confused by our neural pathways in our brain that have been used to going one direction. Every single time this happens, every single time that I get overwhelmed, every single time that I get rejected, then fill in the blank, I meet that with sin.
And you're wondering why? Well, I thought I got set free, but then I had this strong urge to go that direction the next day. It's like, well, yeah, that's normal. That's how your brain works.
Guys, that's how like our brains work. It's like called neuro pathways. And so that's normal. The enemy and temptation would start knocking, but it's a choice and every choice is worship.
In that moment, I just wanna break you free into, I said, listen, I'm standing here so you can see me. We're gonna have a stage, our stage get raised in the next month. It's gonna be awesome. Don't be surprised when you face trials of many kinds.
And when the enemy tries to challenge the ground that Jesus purchased for you, that you get to take hold of, he will come. Enemy, and temptation, and neural pathways are gonna be, but you're gonna be like, well, but there's a different way. And I've chosen a different way. And just like what Scott was saying, it's like the Pavlov's dog, where it's like, shame, guilt, condemnation hits, temptation hits.
And you're like, oh my goodness, thank you for the reminder of my freedom. I was forgetting that I was free for a hot minute. And now I'm actually reminded that Jesus already sent me free. That I'm already free from this.
See, the enemy was trying to challenge that ground, but now as he's challenging it, it's reminding me, I already picked up that mat. I already started walking. I already got up. That's funny.
And there's a light hardiness about it, rather. But this is what we do. We go, oh, I just had that thought. Okay, and we start getting into anxiety mode.
Okay, now what do I do? Okay, I can open up my Bible. John 3 16, what do I know? What do I have memorized?
What's the first of the day? Does it speak to me? Oh no, it didn't speak to me. Am I gonna sin now?
Then you screw up, and then you're like, huh, now, okay, what's bad things are gonna happen now? You start thinking about all these things. Now everything's gonna go south. It's probably God trying to fix me with bringing bad.
That's what I used to believe. When I was in college, I was like, okay, I'm struggling with sin. And then I was anticipating punishment from God because I was struggling. I know there's so many people in this room that are like, this is, you're just like me.
And the enemy has been accusing you and convincing you, yeah, since I'm messing up in this area, now I've got like bad karma. Or like God's going to, he's got this rod and he's gonna whack me with some type of bad circumstance. I want you to know, Jesus paid the price. He took on the punishment for all of your sin.
But what does Jesus say at the end of this? He goes, hey, sin no more. He says, hey, I know you picked up your bed. I know that you got up.
I know that you're walking, but I want you to know, sin no more. Why? Because where's things could happen to you? And you're like, well, didn't you just say that there's no more punishment for sin?
Yeah, I said that. That's what the Bible says. Like, okay, well then why did Jesus say sin no more so that bad things don't happen? Well, because when you sin, there's consequences for your sin in real life.
Okay, so if you're constantly in secrecy and you're constantly living a lie, there's actually going to be disconnection in your relationships. There's going to be pain in your soul. You're gonna be in hiding all the time. You're not gonna be living in the light.
And there's dark things that grow in the darkness. So of course, if you're struggling with this, this, this, and this, and this, and you're actually opening yourself up to unforgiveness and bitterness, there's a super high way of the enemy to just get right, brought into your life. And it's just a consequence. It's not God sending that to you.
It's not God punishing you for your sin. It's actually your consequences for what you're sowing. You are sowing seeds of sin and you are going to reap seeds of sin. Okay, so bad thing happens probably because you're reaping something that you sowed.
That's good news for you, okay? He makes it simple. All right, let's all stand. Just wanna respond to the Lord.
And the Holy Spirit is so kind. I was not gonna talk about sexuality tonight. And the Lord is such a good leader. As he knows that it's been bothering.
It's been bothering you and it's been eating away at you. You've been sitting on that mat for far too long and that bed for far too long. The Lord's saying, you're mine. Let's walk.
Let's take up that mat. So what the Lord is gonna do tonight, he's not gonna just do it in sexuality. He's not gonna just do it in one dimension. He's wanting to highlight one area to each person in the room.
And he's going, hey, this area of brokenness, I wanna do a miracle in your mind. So I wanna still close our eyes. That's the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, you can just whisper this.
Holy Spirit, what's a specific area that you want to bring healing to? Where do you want me to pick up my mat? Holy Spirit, it's probably just gonna bring one thing up. The accuser will bring 20 things up.
Holy Spirit knows how proud your shoulders are. He's gonna just bring one thing up. If you've got that area, I want you to disclose your eyes. I want you to picture laying in that thing.
Just laying in that place of maybe hopelessness or despair. Just picture yourself in your everyday life and how that's been mine and you, how you've been struggling in that area, whatever it is. I want you to picture Jesus. There he is, walking.
Just use your imagination. Picture Jesus walking up. You can picture Jesus approaching you. He's got a question for you.
Do you want to be well? You can respond the same way that this man did. You can start talking to him about all of the reasons of why this has been hard, why you've been struggling, why it's been so difficult. Just, ready, set, go.
You can just go into that. Just go ahead and share the monologue. He's got empathetic, empathetic eyes. He's a good listener.
He knows you need to just get that out. Give you one last opportunity to just kind of be sitting in all of the junk. So it's kind of your last hurrah here. This is your last moment of pity in this area.
These are your final excuses. This is the final farewell. So you've got one chance here to let him know how much of a problem this is. Let him know how overwhelming it's been.
And the Lord, he has three steps for you that are super simple. It's actually walk out what freedom looks like, what healing looks like. They're gonna be really simple. So Holy Spirit, Lord, I ask that you would begin to uniquely speak to every single person in the room, to give three simple steps for them to walk out.
Three simple things to walk out their healing in faith. All throughout the room, if I was you, I'd write it down. Well, it's the Holy Spirit just kind of gives you those three things. If you have given your life to Jesus, it says in John 10 that you are a sheep and you know your shepherd's voice.
And so the Holy Spirit is gonna begin to speak little phrases to you and all your task is to go, yup, okay? Yes, Lord. And there's gonna be ideas or thoughts that are just gonna kind of come into your mind and they're gonna be really simple. It's not gonna be complicated.
Might be an action. Might be something that you need to know that you need to walk in, whatever it is. But all throughout the room, Holy Spirit's giving those little simple, he just said to the man, get up, take your mat and walk. He's gonna do that all throughout the room in this area because he knows exactly what you need.
He knows what faith in action looks like. I'm gonna stop talking so you can just have a moment where you can be asking him. He's gonna speak to you. Thank you.
