If They Walk Away… | Steven Furtick

I have confidence in you that you can't even believe about yourself right now because we've never been through this before so he's saying borrow. My trust you know you can do that. I don't know what your philosophies are on borrowing money. This is fine, I don't care, we all think different things, so you're Dave Ramsey, you don't borrow or you do or whatever, I don't care, rich dad, poor dad, Dave Ramsey, I'm not a money man . I'm a preacher so I'm not talking about borrowing money, I'm talking about a different currency called trust and what you believe about what you can be and what you believe about what you have inside of you and what you believe about what God gives you. called. what to do and what you believe about what you're going through, that's what I mean, the currency of confidence, so when you're young you start borrowing confidence from the wrong places, you borrow it from sex appeal, did you hear the level of decibels? sinking under the floor it's like oh my god he's preaching like it's 20 21 it's like people actually run around with different sexual partners couple after couple after couple after couple after couple and instead of ever being in a real relationship , the good part where you have Loving someone for who

they

are and not what

they

seem, you take this feeling of oh, I have someone and you borrow the trust of having someone, but when you borrow the trust of places wrong, the interest rate is ridiculous and that hits me right there.

I'm talking about when you get into a relationship where you have to compromise your values ​​to get your needs met, that's worse than the cash check, it's an interest rate and let me tell you something else while I get you excited. all the people you kept turning to because you wanted validation but they can't because they're not gone, they didn't make you, they don't know you like that and they have their own insecurities, so leave them alone. and get it from God, hey, you keep trying to borrow trust from people who don't have enough funds, can't do it, can't, want to, just can't, are made of flesh, bones, blood, dirt, snot and saliva. and human and things like you, that's why Paul doesn't self-pity, no one that I'm new, mingling, praying for me, he says, no, I have a partner, I have a partner, I have a partner, I have a partner.

I have a partner I have a partner I have a partner saying right now I have a partner wow wow wow god gave me some people who were with me at the beginning god gave me some people who have been where I had never been before you I know that when you go through something challenging you can read a book. You're not the first in history to go through that. You know how many times I borrowed the knowledge, confidence and wisdom of Tom Lehman. Lisa every 9 30 they would be at, he would text them. Me before 11:30. I'd be back there, back there, trying to rewrite my message because I'd think that was horrible, that's horrible.

He would text me with my pastor preaching it like this again at 11:30. I would say, huh? that was okay how many times carrie is a little tune in a writing session right and it'll be like and someone says oh that's good and you say that's why you need partners, are you always the one in need or can someone? otherwise, keep some of your faith for a while, are you always an epaphrodite or can you be Paul sometimes too? I hope more than Elijah borrows my impulses. Let's get on that Instagram page with this sermon. I can already feel it.

I think that guy we're going to be there, okay, but if he borrows my shoes, I hope more than he borrows what's in my closet, I hope God helps me get to a point where Paul was in my life, where it's like having trust that's great to borrow trust sometimes you have to do it but then there's having trust is where this is what God has called me to do this is how God made me to do it this is what he told me has given to do the work this I keep hearing that this this this all the clothes in the world all the money in the world I know it sounds really abstract and spiritual, but I promise you that all of that cannot be compared to a word of this that you forgot David Pastor no, no, I didn't because the people who should have been his partners, the people who should have been his comrades, the people who should have believed in him, it's not so horrible when the people who should have said you have something , man, keep going "Hey, I know, it's okay, you don't fit in, but that's why you're too big for that small place, keep growing, we don't have to fit in, it's okay right now, David, the future king of Israel, low". to bring bread to his brothers and to his brother he goes back to the verse now I'm really ready for that he burned with anger and said why have you come down here now I'm going to tell you something that David didn't know yet exactly that He thought he had come to feed your brothers.

He really he came to fight for his nation. So his confidence is not in what he is doing. His confidence is something different. I will continue to trust this. That's what he said in Psalm 27. Now look at this incident. not necessarily connected, but maybe this is where you started to have confidence, have confidence, have confidence, develop that confidence, develop the ability to

walk

into a room and have enough confidence that you don't need to be the center of attention, develop confidence enough to have people who Criticize the way you choose to live your life and remain true to what God has put in your heart and yes I will adapt and change but that is a process and this event in your life is really indicative of integrity. of what god was he was creating in david because when eliab said you left those few sheep in the desert he is degrading david you see you know shepherd you are not a soldier you are too young for this you are too small for this you are too small for this you have bad reasons all the things people can say okay he says all that and accuses him and belittles him says you're down there guarding a few sheep you don't you don't you don't you belong here, I know how stuck up you are and how evil your heart is .

You came down just to see the battle and David is a little confused, frustrated, sure, now what have I done, I can't even talk and he turned to someone. more and he brought up the same matter and the men answered him as before, look at this, his trust did not come from his elder brother, so his elder sister cannot take it

away

from him. There has to be a part of you that knows that I appreciate everyone and everything that God sends me, but if they leave, he won't, if they fall short, he won't, if this stream runs dry, there will be a bird in heaven in an hour and and David is young, but he is sure that he is not. about shoes it's not about the loot it's not about other people's beliefs when are you going to stop borrowing other people's bad beliefs? one who lives I didn't believe in David Elijah I didn't believe in himself I don't have to carry things that others believe I don't have to carry I don't have to carry things that the culture believes I don't have to feel what the culture feels about the things that it doesn't I have to pay the interest rate on a world broken system of thought I don't have to pay a generation tax for what happened to my great great grandfather I can break it in my bloodline if I can believe it in my spirit all of you calm down you are pressuring me, but god says something about you're made to break it you're made to break it what they said is not your limitation don't let their limitation become your insecurity just because they can't see it doesn't mean you can't see it just because they can't believe it, no It means you can't believe it and you say you sound a little cocky here right now pastor, I thought we were supposed to be humble as Christians, imagine what he took for Jesus for joy, he said. before him to endure the cross despising his shame with everyone telling them to come down and show that you are God call the angels call your father and he stayed up there trusting in that cross Paul said I learned from the teacher I want to be in the fellowship of his sufferings to participate in his resurrection power it is a partnership it is a partnership and David said that I do not need to be a partner with Elia my partners with God partners with God I have the name of the Lord and things start to get very strange after that because Saul, who He is the king that God is replacing, he hears that David wants to go fight against Goliath and he calls him in verse 33 and says: you cannot go out against this Philistine this Philistine this Philistine what is the name of the Philistine Goliath this Philistine this Philistine you are just a young man he has been a warrior since his youth his inexperience was his greatest benefit everyone else knew too much david was foolish enough to defeat the enemy they were running from so stop saying oh i can't do this i don't know enough.

I have to show you something David said in Psalm verse 34. Your servant has been tending his father's sheep. He starts reading his resume to the insecure king and in it, the funny David put on his resume the same thing that his brother used to insult him the things that the things you use to disqualify yourself God is like that's exact that's exactly what I want to use it's exactly That's why I want to use you He's not that crazy I've been raising sheep He doesn't listen to my brother And look at this Look at this When a lion or a bear came and took a sheep from the flock I went after him and beat him and rescued the sheep from his mouth and when he turned against me I grabbed him by his instructions here and killed him trusting that your servant has killed both the lion and the bear, this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them because I have a partner, so what do you do when your brother Major doesn't believe in you and neither does your leader when you? go when you go get help and encouragement and love and support because some of you were there man and you say I don't have anyone I'm not like paul I don't have the philippines I'm not a puzzle it's Greece pastor
