Welcome back!
00:00:11.32\00:00:12.29
You know it is amazing to me,
00:00:12.30\00:00:14.24
C. A. about this
righteousness from God.
00:00:14.27\00:00:18.27
The fact that He does
it all it is such a concept
00:00:18.31\00:00:21.04
that we are not used to.
00:00:21.07\00:00:22.08
In any kind of recovery,
I want to do something.
00:00:22.11\00:00:24.97
I'm going to do it now
and that kind of thing.
00:00:25.01\00:00:27.69
Turn it over, the
first time I did that, okay,
00:00:27.72\00:00:30.36
I turn it over and now what?
00:00:30.40\00:00:32.75
It is like you don't
know what to expect and God
00:00:32.78\00:00:36.20
literally picks it up
pretty quickly, let's do this.
00:00:36.23\00:00:39.19
The whole washing the
sink thing that we talked about
00:00:39.23\00:00:42.15
on the first segment.
00:00:42.18\00:00:43.91
You know go in
and clean the kitchen.
00:00:43.95\00:00:46.35
I'm thinking that can't be
from God, clean the kitchen.
00:00:46.39\00:00:49.33
It has got to be more
complicated than that.
00:00:49.36\00:00:51.89
It was like it was
real simple baby steps.
00:00:51.92\00:00:54.42
Let's start from
the very beginning.
00:00:54.45\00:00:55.96
What guarantees do we have?
00:00:56.00\00:00:59.10
We oft times rely on the plan.
00:00:59.13\00:01:02.16
This is a 12 step program,
if I go through 12 steps,
00:01:02.20\00:01:05.75
I am going to be fine.
00:01:05.79\00:01:06.79
You don't have any guarantee.
00:01:06.82\00:01:08.31
The only guarantee you
have is that if we commit it to
00:01:08.35\00:01:11.37
Christ, Christ can handle
it and will take care of it.
00:01:11.41\00:01:14.40
That is a guarantee.
00:01:14.44\00:01:15.41
So go through your 12
steps, but the Bible says in
00:01:15.43\00:01:20.24
your getting, get wisdom and
Jesus Christ, the fear of the
00:01:20.28\00:01:22.67
Lord, is indeed the
beginning of wisdom.
00:01:22.70\00:01:24.52
So He under girds and
filters His way in and through
00:01:24.55\00:01:27.76
all that stuff, that is
your success story right there.
00:01:27.79\00:01:30.96
Getting Jesus.
00:01:31.00\00:01:31.97
A lot of people get that
in a lot of different ways.
00:01:31.98\00:01:35.16
Like if you go into even a
marriage counselor, not that
00:01:35.19\00:01:38.38
any of you need that,
just a marriage counseling.
00:01:38.42\00:01:41.23
When you going to a marriage
counselor and they somehow
00:01:41.27\00:01:43.66
half to teach you to
just sit with each other.
00:01:43.69\00:01:45.13
Because everybody is off
running in their own careers,
00:01:45.16\00:01:47.93
you have raised
kids, you don't know how to
00:01:47.96\00:01:49.39
sit with each other.
00:01:49.43\00:01:50.40
So it is real simple,
the baby step of sitting with
00:01:50.41\00:01:52.33
each other and learning
to laugh together again,
00:01:52.37\00:01:54.41
doing that kind of stuff.
00:01:54.44\00:01:56.11
I think once we surrender
to God, once we get to a
00:01:56.14\00:01:58.49
point where we
actually surrender to God,
00:01:58.52\00:02:00.83
I am going to look
at Him in that way.
00:02:00.87\00:02:03.14
What do I need to know?
00:02:03.18\00:02:04.66
And some of the
things are very small,
00:02:04.69\00:02:06.94
most of them are
very, very small.
00:02:06.98\00:02:09.16
Try this, do this,
learn what this feels like.
00:02:09.19\00:02:12.85
Learn what it feels
like to speak honestly.
00:02:12.89\00:02:16.47
Learn what it feels like to
be clean for the first time.
00:02:16.51\00:02:19.45
Some people have been
strung out for ever and learn
00:02:19.49\00:02:21.41
what that feels like.
00:02:21.45\00:02:22.42
There is an acronym that I
thought was really cool and
00:02:22.43\00:02:24.97
one of the recovery books
I use and it is called radar.
00:02:25.00\00:02:28.93
Radar says, the R, stands
for recognize your stuff first.
00:02:28.97\00:02:32.86
Thing go to the A,
accept whatever it is you see.
00:02:32.90\00:02:38.33
Thing go to the D, detached
from that and hand it to God.
00:02:38.36\00:02:42.19
Okay, I recognize it, I
accept it, I hand it to God.
00:02:42.23\00:02:46.68
Then you go into the
second A, accept help,
00:02:46.71\00:02:49.86
accept His help.
00:02:49.89\00:02:50.89
Say to God, what is
it that I do right now?
00:02:50.92\00:02:54.49
And the last one, it
is really a tough one,
00:02:54.53\00:02:58.07
is do something.
00:02:58.10\00:02:59.53
It is an action, it is
that I am going to literally
00:02:59.56\00:03:04.49
respond and act.
00:03:04.52\00:03:06.29
If we do that, God says I
will change everything for you.
00:03:06.32\00:03:09.48
I literally will
change everything.
00:03:09.52\00:03:11.13
So this whole
season is about that.
00:03:11.17\00:03:12.72
How do I realize this is
God in His righteousness?
00:03:12.75\00:03:16.28
How do I realize that I
am so turning it over to Him?
00:03:16.32\00:03:19.19
I think it is going to be
amazing if we can get this,
00:03:19.22\00:03:22.05
we have got recovery.
00:03:22.09\00:03:23.06
Did you want to say something
just for the very end, someone
00:03:23.08\00:03:26.29
says something
today and I like it.
00:03:26.32\00:03:27.57
The secret of the future is
hidden in your daily routine.
00:03:27.61\00:03:31.09
