It amazes me that
God can take our lives,
00:00:13.22\00:00:16.44
and some of our
lives are just so broken,
00:00:16.47\00:00:18.96
so twisted, and we have
never, it is like when Christian
00:00:18.99\00:00:23.86
was talking, and he is talking
about stepping out of all that.
00:00:23.89\00:00:27.02
Coming out of his home,
coming into Child Protective
00:00:27.05\00:00:30.52
Services, doing all that
kind of stuff and not even
00:00:30.55\00:00:32.54
knowing, can I
even trust these people.
00:00:32.57\00:00:34.91
Can I even do that?
00:00:34.94\00:00:36.10
God is going to take that
broken life and restore him
00:00:36.13\00:00:40.50
back to what he
was created to be.
00:00:40.53\00:00:42.35
Someone asked me, you
know Cheri doesn't that sound
00:00:42.38\00:00:44.75
like pop psychology or whatever?
00:00:44.78\00:00:46.76
I could tell in their
voice that what they were saying
00:00:46.79\00:00:49.16
was I don't believe any of that.
00:00:49.19\00:00:51.35
I hear what you're saying,
but I think for some of us
00:00:51.38\00:00:55.99
we can't fully look at God
and say God I receive it all.
00:00:56.02\00:01:00.64
I receive it all, I'm going
to step out of all this stuff
00:01:00.67\00:01:03.58
and the next day I'm going
to be a hundred percent filled
00:01:03.61\00:01:05.99
with the Holy Spirit, filled
with love and all the stuff
00:01:06.02\00:01:08.42
is going to fall off.
00:01:08.45\00:01:09.49
We don't even
know how to do that.
00:01:09.52\00:01:10.55
So how ever you have to
get to the point where you
00:01:10.58\00:01:13.45
can start allowing God to
let some of that stuff go,
00:01:13.48\00:01:15.89
some of it may be that
you call someone up and say,
00:01:15.92\00:01:18.53
I need to talk about anger.
00:01:18.56\00:01:21.77
I need to talk about my
depression, I need to talk to
00:01:21.80\00:01:25.04
somebody about that and if
you have to do that, I don't
00:01:25.07\00:01:27.75
care what you label the
person, whether it is a friend,
00:01:27.78\00:01:30.12
a counselor, a pastor,
an elder in your church,
00:01:30.15\00:01:33.93
but talk about it.
00:01:33.96\00:01:35.10
And it's not because God
needs the time, God doesn't.
00:01:35.13\00:01:37.91
He says I have healing for
you the minute you look up.
00:01:37.94\00:01:42.23
I want to bring you
to a place of healing.
00:01:42.26\00:01:43.93
I want to, as your
Father, as your friend,
00:01:43.96\00:01:46.73
as your counselor, I want
to hold you until that hurt
00:01:46.76\00:01:50.39
is just gone in your life.
00:01:50.42\00:01:52.14
I so want to do
that, but for some of us
00:01:52.17\00:01:54.02
we can't do that.
00:01:54.05\00:01:55.24
It took me 21
years to let God say,
00:01:55.27\00:01:58.06
Cheri I think you
have trust issues.
00:01:58.09\00:01:59.78
I'm like, I don't either.
00:01:59.81\00:02:01.44
God is like, you
so do and I love you.
00:02:01.47\00:02:05.18
I think how cool is it
that He never, it's like
00:02:05.21\00:02:08.77
He is so gentle with
us, that He never said,
00:02:08.80\00:02:11.60
Cheri you have
to stop doing that.
00:02:11.63\00:02:14.09
You have to work
on those trust issues.
00:02:14.12\00:02:15.81
I've waited, I've
been patient with you and
00:02:15.84\00:02:19.38
your taking way too long.
00:02:19.41\00:02:20.80
He never did that, He
said, if it's going to
00:02:20.83\00:02:22.78
take you longer,
I'll be right there.
00:02:22.81\00:02:24.65
If it takes you longer
than that, I'll be right there.
00:02:24.68\00:02:27.05
I think how
incredibly cool are you!
00:02:27.08\00:02:29.54
That You will not rush
us, You will not force us,
00:02:29.57\00:02:32.25
but any time we can get it.
00:02:32.28\00:02:34.47
Anytime we can look up
and say God, today I get it
00:02:34.50\00:02:38.07
and I am going to
release this to You.
00:02:38.10\00:02:40.15
I'm going to allow
You to pour love into me,
00:02:40.18\00:02:43.25
because it is who I am.
00:02:43.28\00:02:45.04
I am created to do
this, I am created to be this,
00:02:45.07\00:02:47.66
I'm created to have
people around me that I love
00:02:47.69\00:02:51.42
and to allow
myself to love them.
00:02:51.45\00:02:54.02
I am created to do
that, I'm created to love my
00:02:54.05\00:02:56.63
children not beat
them, not yell at them and
00:02:56.66\00:02:59.24
not being so incense.
00:02:59.27\00:03:00.80
So if you are stuck in
any of these places I hope
00:03:00.83\00:03:02.78
that you heard what
Christian said, that God and all
00:03:02.81\00:03:06.45
of heaven is waiting for
you to say, okay I'm done.
00:03:06.48\00:03:10.76
I've tried everything, I
can't do any of this anymore.
00:03:10.79\00:03:13.40
Come into my life and
walk me through every step.
00:03:13.43\00:03:16.72
Teach me how to forgive.
00:03:16.75\00:03:17.96
Teach me how to
let go of this anger.
00:03:17.99\00:03:19.41
Teach me to let
go of all this stuff.
00:03:19.44\00:03:22.17
He will, I love that.
00:03:22.20\00:03:23.97
Until we see you next, I want
you to know that God is crazy
00:03:24.00\00:03:28.30
about you and we are too.
00:03:28.33\00:03:30.38
God bless, bye-bye!
00:03:30.41\00:03:32.43
