Hello and welcome to Help in
Daily Living. Today we're going
00:00:38.22\00:00:41.12
to be looking at true greatness.
What does it mean to be truly
00:00:41.15\00:00:44.40
great in God's kingdom. Jesus
says if you want to be great
00:00:44.44\00:00:47.87
in my kingdom you must
become the servant of all. Or in
00:00:47.91\00:00:52.15
Jeremiah 45:5 it tells us:
Seekest thou great things for
00:00:52.18\00:00:55.83
thyself? Seek them not.
Why does it say seek them not?
00:00:55.86\00:00:59.76
Because God has no place in
his work for those who have a
00:00:59.80\00:01:03.23
greater desire to win the
crown than to bear the cross.
00:01:03.27\00:01:06.63
God is saying to us if you want
to go higher you must go lower.
00:01:06.67\00:01:12.23
So in this episode we're going
to be looking at characters
00:01:12.27\00:01:15.68
like Moses and people like John
the Baptist and Jesus himself
00:01:15.72\00:01:20.27
who, in order to become great,
became lowly and became servants
00:01:20.31\00:01:24.55
of all. Such a very important
topic, I'm going to ask Allie
00:01:24.59\00:01:28.80
to lead us in a word
of prayer to beging with.
00:01:28.84\00:01:31.15
Father in Heaven, I want
to thank you that you to bring
00:01:31.18\00:01:36.03
us all higher. Lord help us to
realize though that being great
00:01:36.06\00:01:41.10
isn't really about being center
stage; it's about being humble
00:01:41.14\00:01:45.19
and doing the duties faithfully
that you called us to. Help us
00:01:45.22\00:01:49.24
to follow your plan
every single day of our lives.
00:01:49.28\00:01:51.86
In Jesus name, Amen.
00:01:51.89\00:01:56.08
Have you ever been in a period
of indecision, a time when you
00:01:56.12\00:02:01.15
really didn't know what's next
in your walk in life. Well I'm
00:02:01.19\00:02:06.06
in that indicision right now
concerning my future. College,
00:02:06.09\00:02:10.75
a career? Really everything
is up in the air right now and
00:02:10.79\00:02:15.28
being in this position is very
unsettling. I mean what if the
00:02:15.32\00:02:19.78
decision I make causes me
to make an utter failure of my
00:02:19.81\00:02:23.54
life? I could try to work
through this time of uncertainty
00:02:23.57\00:02:27.83
by myself, but that's not
the best way of making such an
00:02:27.86\00:02:31.77
important decision. And just
like a lot of things in life
00:02:31.81\00:02:36.75
an advisor can always be
beneficial. For some of us that
00:02:36.79\00:02:41.33
advisor could be our parents,
our spouse or any other good
00:02:41.37\00:02:46.19
friend. But why not Christ?
I mean, who better to go to
00:02:46.22\00:02:50.03
than to him who knows you
better than you know yourself
00:02:50.06\00:02:53.83
and who only wants the
very, very best for you?
00:02:53.87\00:02:58.69
In Jeremiah 29:11 it says: For
I know what I have planned for
00:02:58.73\00:03:03.63
you says the Lord. I have plans
to prosper you, not to harm you.
00:03:03.66\00:03:08.52
I have plans to give you
a future filled with hope.
00:03:08.56\00:03:11.85
So leaving my future to God
is one of the greatest decisions
00:03:11.88\00:03:17.52
that I've made. He sees 1000
ways where I can't even see one.
00:03:17.55\00:03:22.85
When I ask him to give me
his eyes and to guide my future
00:03:22.88\00:03:27.27
according to his will, that
burden of worry is taken away
00:03:27.31\00:03:31.50
and that peace of God that
passes all understanding will
00:03:31.54\00:03:35.87
help me to overcome as it
says in the Bible. So what about
00:03:35.91\00:03:40.30
you? Why don't you turn to
him in prayer and ask him to
00:03:40.34\00:03:44.60
give you his eyes and to guide
your future according to his
00:03:44.63\00:03:48.97
will? Open your heart to
him and say, Lord, I want you to
00:03:49.00\00:03:53.30
be my vision.
00:03:53.34\00:03:55.20
Be thou my vision, O Lord
of my heart; Naught be all else
00:04:20.08\00:04:31.06
to me save that thou art. Thou
my best thought by day or by
00:04:31.09\00:04:42.04
night. Waking or
sleeping, Thy presence my light
00:04:42.07\00:05:00.88
Be thou my wisdom,
Be thou my true word
00:05:00.92\00:05:08.25
I ever with thee
and thou with me Lord
00:05:08.28\00:05:16.79
Thou my great
father, I thy true son;
00:05:16.83\00:05:25.26
Thou with me
dwelling and I with thee one.
00:05:25.30\00:05:34.09
Riches I heed not
Nor man's empty praise;
00:05:34.13\00:05:42.89
Thou my
inheritance Now and always.
00:05:42.92\00:05:51.49
Thou and Thou
only, first in my heart,
00:05:51.53\00:06:03.09
High king of heaven,
my treasure Thou art.
00:06:03.13\00:06:10.27
Be my vision, Be my
vision Oh ruler of all.
00:06:13.58\00:06:43.65
You know that song, Be Thou
My Vision is a prayer and it's
00:06:50.47\00:06:54.94
really a prayer that you can
pray when you're truly humble.
00:06:54.98\00:06:59.42
Humble enough to say,
Lord, I don't want to trust my
00:06:59.45\00:07:03.26
definition of true greatness.
I don't want to see how I
00:07:03.29\00:07:07.02
want true greatness but I want
to see your definition of true
00:07:07.06\00:07:10.50
I want to see your definition
worked out in my life. Can you
00:07:10.54\00:07:13.95
relate to that Victoria?
00:07:13.98\00:07:15.62
I really can, because before
I came to Fountain View I was a
00:07:15.65\00:07:19.11
really good violinist in my
church and also I would speak
00:07:19.15\00:07:22.25
up during Sabbath School.
I was considered to be one of
00:07:22.28\00:07:25.31
the more spiritual kids. Then
also I was a really hard worker
00:07:25.34\00:07:30.58
and I had a lot of things
going for me when I was at home.
00:07:30.61\00:07:34.85
When I came to Fountain View
I guess I expected the other
00:07:34.89\00:07:38.43
kids would be talented but
maybe not as talented or gifted
00:07:38.46\00:07:42.99
as I was. So when I got to
Fountain View I got into the
00:07:43.03\00:07:46.49
first violin section, which
I was really excited about, but
00:07:46.53\00:07:49.89
I was half way back. Hmm, that's
kind of humbling. Yes I wasn't
00:07:49.93\00:07:53.25
the best violinist at Fountain
View. Then also as far as
00:07:53.29\00:07:56.32
spirituality, there are
lots of other kids that had a
00:07:56.35\00:07:59.31
relationship with God and
that was a more common thing and
00:07:59.34\00:08:02.47
they would display it in their
everyday lives. So I wasn't
00:08:02.50\00:08:06.43
the most spiritual either. Also
I was wanting to work in the
00:08:06.46\00:08:10.35
music office this year so
I got to be a music arranger
00:08:10.39\00:08:13.63
and that was really fun. I
arranged like two songs, but
00:08:13.66\00:08:16.83
then I guess they realized that
they wanted something different
00:08:16.86\00:08:20.98
in the music arranging or
something so I realized that
00:08:21.01\00:08:23.97
really wasn't my strong
place either as music arranging.
00:08:24.00\00:08:27.00
I wasn't the best at that
either. So now here I am, I'm
00:08:27.04\00:08:29.97
working in the cafeteria, that's
what I've been doing recently
00:08:30.01\00:08:33.12
and I'm not really the best
cafeteria worker either. I'm not
00:08:33.16\00:08:36.24
the one doing all the cooking
and all the fun stuff but I'm
00:08:36.28\00:08:39.24
the one scrubbing potatoes
and scrubbing the floors and
00:08:39.27\00:08:42.17
wiping the tables, all the
things that need to be done but
00:08:42.20\00:08:44.13
that people don't necessarily
want to do, the more lowly
00:08:44.17\00:08:48.53
tasks. God's really had to take
me from my exalted position,
00:08:48.56\00:08:52.89
you know, he's made me more
humble in coming to Fountain
00:08:52.92\00:08:56.74
View. You know,
it makes me think of
00:08:56.78\00:08:58.73
a time last year when we went
on a campout to Rosea Beach in
00:08:58.77\00:09:02.98
Washington. It was after our
Christman music tour. So every
00:09:03.01\00:09:06.48
body was tired. It was change
in semester and everybody was
00:09:06.51\00:09:10.16
ready for a break. We got there
and I was assigned for cleanup
00:09:10.20\00:09:14.38
for one of the meals. I went
in the kitchen and I went toward
00:09:14.41\00:09:17.96
the sink and Scott, our school's
president, and Mr. Brousson
00:09:18.00\00:09:21.97
who is the owner of a large
company were there and I was
00:09:22.01\00:09:25.91
so surprised to see them there.
It really inspired me because
00:09:25.95\00:09:30.21
they didn't have to be there,
because there were other people
00:09:30.24\00:09:33.98
assigned to kitchen duty. But
they chose to be there and to
00:09:34.01\00:09:37.21
help out. That really inspired
me because I thought wow that
00:09:37.24\00:09:40.81
makes me want to be the kind
of person who's truly great,
00:09:40.84\00:09:44.45
who's truly humble enough
to step down and do the duties
00:09:44.48\00:09:48.01
they don't necessarily have to
do or that nobody really wants
00:09:48.05\00:09:50.38
to do. That's
very inspirational.
00:09:50.42\00:09:53.72
When I was younger my family
would grow a garden each year.
00:09:53.75\00:09:58.05
In the spring, my dad would take
the entire family outside and
00:09:58.08\00:10:02.13
we would all help plant. Then
throughout the summer we would
00:10:02.17\00:10:05.86
to out on Sundays to work in
the garden. My dad would ask us
00:10:05.90\00:10:09.56
kids to come and join
him. Sometimes we would protest
00:10:09.59\00:10:12.65
that we didn't want to
work in the garden, but he would
00:10:12.68\00:10:15.82
explain that he needed us
to work with him. After a while
00:10:15.86\00:10:19.02
though we would become bored
with weeding and we would wander
00:10:19.06\00:10:22.19
off to do something else leaving
my dad working there in the
00:10:22.22\00:10:25.96
garden alone. Jesus is working
in the garden of this world.
00:10:26.00\00:10:29.86
He calls us to come and join
him, to sow the seeds of truth
00:10:29.90\00:10:33.73
in uncultivated minds.
He's already there working. Why
00:10:33.76\00:10:37.19
should we make him who died
for us work alone? We are called
00:10:37.22\00:10:40.88
to work with Christ for the
salvation of souls. Cooperation
00:10:40.92\00:10:44.54
with him in the work of
salvation is the greatest
00:10:44.58\00:10:47.57
privilege that
we could ever have.
00:10:47.61\00:10:50.41
¤
00:10:50.45\00:11:16.19
Must Jesus bear the cross
alone and all the world go
00:11:16.23\00:11:31.08
free? No there's a cross for
everyone, And there's a cross
00:11:31.11\00:11:48.12
for me...
00:11:48.15\00:11:54.46
The consecrated cross
I'll bear, Till He shall set me
00:12:10.04\00:12:25.52
free; and then go home my crown
to wear, For there's a crown
00:12:25.55\00:12:44.70
for me...
00:12:44.73\00:12:49.45
Upon the crystal pavement,
down at Jesus' pierc-ed feet,
00:13:25.49\00:13:44.32
With joy I'll cast my golden
crown, And His dear name repeat.
00:13:44.36\00:14:05.21
His dear name repeat...
00:14:05.24\00:14:20.51
You know that song Must Jesus
Bear the Cross Alone? The word
00:14:41.57\00:14:45.67
that really hits me there is
alone. Moses was taken from a
00:14:45.70\00:14:49.43
place where he had family
around him, people looking up
00:14:49.47\00:14:53.57
to him and now he's alone in
the wilderness. Jesus is taken
00:14:53.61\00:14:57.68
from a place where the crowds
are around him and then he's
00:14:57.71\00:15:02.35
alone and he's bearing the
cross. You know, we go from
00:15:02.39\00:15:07.55
greatness or, in our
eyes, from high to low. You know
00:15:07.59\00:15:12.68
Sarah I know you kind of had
a type of an experience where
00:15:12.72\00:15:16.11
it felt like you were going
from high to low when you came
00:15:16.15\00:15:19.51
to Fountain View.
Yes, Fountain View for sure
00:15:19.54\00:15:23.60
as I reflect on my life has
been my wilderness experience.
00:15:23.64\00:15:27.40
Just like Moses, he's this
mighty prince of Egypt and God
00:15:27.43\00:15:30.75
takes him away and he says no
come here, spend time with me,
00:15:30.79\00:15:34.92
and he has him herd sheep
for 40 years. I'm sure Moses and
00:15:34.95\00:15:39.66
other people wonder how is that
helping Moses? Because he is
00:15:39.70\00:15:43.75
this prince, he's had the
best education, he's the highest
00:15:43.79\00:15:48.32
military leader, he's popular,
he's got a great family and
00:15:48.35\00:15:52.47
yet God still takes that and
he says no, come abide with me
00:15:52.50\00:15:56.59
right? So likewise
Fountain View was that for me.
00:15:56.62\00:16:00.02
I came to Fountain View
and I was wondering, God, why?
00:16:00.05\00:16:04.61
I'm not going to have the same
academic opportunities like at
00:16:04.64\00:16:07.13
home. I'm not going to have
the same musical opportunties.
00:16:07.17\00:16:09.63
So what is my purpose in
coming here? I realize now
00:16:09.66\00:16:16.77
he wanted to teach me how to
have a relationship with him and
00:16:16.81\00:16:19.92
also to develop meekness
and humility. That's what Moses
00:16:19.96\00:16:23.64
developed in his character.
In the book Help in Daily Living
00:16:23.67\00:16:28.98
Ellen G. White writes and says
that Moses' 40 years that he
00:16:29.02\00:16:33.26
spent in the wilderness,
that was the most important part
00:16:33.30\00:16:38.26
of his education. For me, I
had this job working dorm and
00:16:38.30\00:16:43.63
for six months I got to scrub
toilets every day. It was a
00:16:43.67\00:16:48.64
very humbling experience for
me. But I wouldn't trade it for
00:16:48.68\00:16:53.77
anything at all. It's been the
best situation God could have
00:16:53.80\00:16:58.86
placed me in. So
you're not going to this
00:16:58.90\00:17:01.94
straight private school where
you can wear a uniform and be
00:17:01.98\00:17:05.24
preppy but a place where you
can clean toilets and yes, you
00:17:05.28\00:17:08.72
can perform in an orchestra
and yes you can perform, but
00:17:08.75\00:17:11.62
there are certain things
that you can do but it's not the
00:17:11.65\00:17:14.81
same as what you had. It seemed
like a step down but God was
00:17:14.85\00:17:18.04
leading you because that was
the highest position where he
00:17:18.07\00:17:21.22
could lead you to for
true greatness in your life.
00:17:21.26\00:17:25.23
And then nature, Zach, I know
you like to be out in nature.
00:17:25.27\00:17:29.26
How do you relate to
Moses' experience in that way?
00:17:29.30\00:17:31.40
Well I grew up in eastern
Canada rambling around the woods
00:17:31.43\00:17:35.65
and forests of Prince
Edward Island and I always loved
00:17:35.68\00:17:39.83
getting away to the sounds of
the trees. Back wading through
00:17:39.87\00:17:42.55
creek and mud and just being
in God's beautiful creation.
00:17:42.59\00:17:45.58
It's a phenomonal feeling.
Not much has changed as I've
00:17:45.62\00:17:48.54
grown older. I mean I still love
getting out and speaking to God
00:17:48.57\00:17:52.16
and seeing his hands through
what's around us. It's a really
00:17:52.20\00:17:55.84
neat experience that he likes
to share with us. Just recently
00:17:55.88\00:17:59.42
I had the opportunity to go
on a campout to Strime. It's a
00:17:59.45\00:18:02.92
cabin tucked up way in the woods
in the mountain and it's in the
00:18:02.95\00:18:06.26
middle of a snow bank and it's
just beautiful beyond belief.
00:18:06.29\00:18:10.13
The night before I decided to
go, I wasn't planning on going,
00:18:10.16\00:18:12.56
I had a lot of stress in my
life at that time. It had been a
00:18:12.60\00:18:16.37
busy last month or so. It just
seemed like stressful life in
00:18:16.40\00:18:19.57
school like crazy. I was just
not planning to go. I was going
00:18:19.61\00:18:23.63
to chill. But the night before
I decided to go and man I was
00:18:23.67\00:18:26.91
so glad that I did. It was a
worthwhile three-hour hike up
00:18:26.95\00:18:30.72
the mountain through snow
and slippery ice. Once we got up
00:18:30.76\00:18:34.70
there just the beauty of the
snow made everything so white
00:18:34.73\00:18:39.42
and clean. We spent that weekend
snow shoeing rigorously, just
00:18:39.45\00:18:44.11
sleeping on the ground. That
may not sound like a restful
00:18:44.14\00:18:47.05
weekend to some, but for me
it was a rest beyond all other
00:18:47.08\00:18:51.70
rest. God really helped my soul
to relax, to become refreshed
00:18:51.73\00:18:56.31
and to become transformed by
spending that quiet time with
00:18:56.35\00:19:00.58
God. I think it's cool
that he did the same with Moses.
00:19:00.62\00:19:04.19
It's neat that I can share
in the same experiences that
00:19:04.22\00:19:07.57
Moses had in a way. He
took Moses from the busyness and
00:19:07.61\00:19:10.88
the stresses of the city and
he brought him to a place that
00:19:10.92\00:19:13.62
was peaceful where he
could just really transform his
00:19:13.65\00:19:15.96
character for the big task he
had ahead and I just think it's
00:19:16.00\00:19:19.10
so neat that I could be
a part of that same kind of
00:19:19.13\00:19:21.23
transforming
character that God had.
00:19:21.26\00:19:23.92
So true greatness is not
just coming from a high position
00:19:23.96\00:19:27.52
to a low position but God
is actually leading us to hear
00:19:27.55\00:19:31.04
his voice and trust him
completely and often he does
00:19:31.08\00:19:34.50
that through nature where we
can actually be still and hear
00:19:34.54\00:19:38.62
him speak to us through the
works of his creation that are
00:19:38.65\00:19:42.70
around us. God has
given you and me so
00:19:42.74\00:19:48.58
many different gifts. You know
one of the gifts God has given
00:19:48.62\00:19:51.76
me is the gift of singing and
he asks that I would use this
00:19:51.80\00:19:55.66
gift to honor and glorify him.
But to be honest, I have a big
00:19:55.69\00:20:00.08
problem. So often I become
captive to the thought of what
00:20:00.11\00:20:04.02
does the audience think of me
when my thought should be what
00:20:04.05\00:20:08.73
does the audience see of Christ
through me. I want to use my
00:20:08.76\00:20:13.41
gifts for their intended
purpose. So every day my
00:20:13.44\00:20:16.97
prayer is that God would take
my sinful foolish desires and
00:20:17.01\00:20:22.25
make me a captive to him.
00:20:22.28\00:20:24.06
Make me a captive, Lord,
And then I shall be free;
00:20:24.09\00:20:35.02
Force me to render up my
sword, And I shall conqueror be.
00:20:35.06\00:20:47.31
I sink in life's
alarms When by myself I stand;
00:20:47.35\00:20:57.06
Imprison me within Thine arms,
And strong shall be my hand.
00:20:57.10\00:21:10.32
My heart is weak and
poor, Till it a master find;
00:21:10.35\00:21:19.31
It has no spring of action
sure It varies with the wind.
00:21:19.35\00:21:30.08
It cannot freely move Till
Thou has wrought its chain;
00:21:30.11\00:21:40.81
Enslave it with
Thy matchless love,
00:21:40.84\00:21:47.96
And deathless it shall reign.
00:21:48.00\00:21:53.46
My will is not my own
Till Thou hast made it Thine;
00:21:53.50\00:22:03.29
If it would reach
a monarch's throne
00:22:03.32\00:22:09.80
It must its crown resign;
00:22:09.83\00:22:15.17
It only stands unbent,
Amid the clashing strife,
00:22:15.20\00:22:25.27
When on Thy bosom it has leant
And found in Thee its life. Amen
00:22:25.31\00:22:50.74
You know the words of that
song Make Me a Captive, Lord?
00:22:53.10\00:22:56.49
They're absolutely the opposite
of what we think we need to
00:22:56.52\00:22:59.85
become truly great. You don't
want to be a captive. But the
00:22:59.88\00:23:03.40
words are Make me a captive
Lord and then I will be truly
00:23:03.44\00:23:08.29
free. I will be truly free
for you to work in me and the
00:23:08.32\00:23:12.49
words of the song also talk
about how we can surrender up
00:23:12.52\00:23:17.58
our sword, which tells me it's
a symbol of how we force our
00:23:17.62\00:23:22.31
own way and we want to achieve
greatness by our own strength.
00:23:22.34\00:23:27.92
So as we surrender to God we
become truly great. James, you
00:23:27.96\00:23:31.50
know what it means to surrender
to God? You grew up in a
00:23:31.54\00:23:35.46
Christian home and so you
were always surrendered to God.
00:23:35.49\00:23:39.38
Was that your experience?
00:23:39.41\00:23:41.13
Not really. I had to realize
my need of Christ was much
00:23:41.16\00:23:45.42
greater than I every thought.
As a kid I had a pretty good
00:23:45.46\00:23:50.26
Christian walk. I had a pretty
good relationship with God.
00:23:50.30\00:23:55.03
But then when I started becoming
a teenager around age 14, 15, I
00:23:55.06\00:24:00.71
started getting into computer
games and I started developing
00:24:00.74\00:24:06.35
friendships with friends
who weren't the best for my
00:24:06.39\00:24:11.68
Christian experience.
Most people when they look at
00:24:11.71\00:24:16.93
computer games they think oh
that's just innocent fun, I mean
00:24:16.97\00:24:20.12
kids are having fun. So why is
that a problem to your Christian
00:24:20.16\00:24:23.28
walk? Well actually towards the
00:24:23.31\00:24:25.91
beginning, my friends and I,
we started playing games that
00:24:25.94\00:24:29.65
more "innocent," as you
might say. They were just time
00:24:29.69\00:24:34.80
wasters. But we eventually
got into other games. We were
00:24:34.83\00:24:38.96
getting more numb to the
innocent games and getting into
00:24:38.99\00:24:43.53
games that were more violent
and movies and stuff. So we
00:24:43.57\00:24:48.04
got into all these evil habits.
I felt like a hypocrit because
00:24:48.08\00:24:52.77
the Lord kept on convicting
me that these things were wrong
00:24:52.80\00:24:58.05
in my life. But yet I kept
on doing them. Eventually when I
00:24:58.08\00:25:02.57
was home I listened to a
sermon or something and I felt
00:25:02.60\00:25:07.01
convicted that these games were
wrong. So I deleted the games
00:25:07.05\00:25:12.64
off my computer. I felt so free
and revived and stuff. But the
00:25:12.67\00:25:16.89
very next time I saw my friends
we got together and played
00:25:16.92\00:25:20.74
the games again. I installed
them again onto my computer
00:25:20.77\00:25:23.16
and I kept on doing that
for a long time, several years.
00:25:23.20\00:25:28.38
That's a struggle. Now you're
going back and forth, you're
00:25:28.42\00:25:33.57
taking them off and then
you're putting them back on.
00:25:33.60\00:25:37.62
I know. I felt like such a
hypocrit. But eventually the
00:25:37.66\00:25:41.84
Lord convicted me that this
was wrong and this dual face
00:25:41.87\00:25:47.21
was wrong, appearing like
a good Christian to my church
00:25:47.24\00:25:52.73
family and family but yet
indulging in these games just
00:25:52.76\00:25:57.89
was wrong. But eventually
the Lord helped me to have the
00:25:57.93\00:26:02.67
strength finally just
delete the games off my computer
00:26:02.71\00:26:07.38
and just tell my friends that
no I don't want to play these
00:26:07.42\00:26:12.30
games anymore. So my friends,
they kind of became not my
00:26:12.33\00:26:17.33
friends anymore. So I kind
of just had to sacrifice those
00:26:17.37\00:26:22.34
relationships for my
relationship with Christ.
00:26:22.37\00:26:25.26
But as I became more interested
in spiritual things, I became
00:26:25.30\00:26:31.88
more interested in more reading
of the Bible and gardening and
00:26:31.92\00:26:36.49
nature. Mom was so surprised
because I was spending so much
00:26:36.52\00:26:41.54
time in the garden. Yes it was
just a turning point in my life.
00:26:41.57\00:26:46.56
And all these talents on
my computer I transfered to
00:26:46.59\00:26:50.00
productive things like web
development for God's cause.
00:26:50.03\00:26:54.48
So becoming a captive to the
Lord, he set you free indeed.
00:26:54.51\00:26:58.93
Amen, Amen. Katie,
I'm going to ask you to
00:26:58.96\00:27:01.00
close with a work of
prayer for us now. Sure.
00:27:01.03\00:27:03.00
Father in heaven, thank you
so much for your love for us and
00:27:03.04\00:27:07.34
how you're willing to fight
our battles. Lord, I just pray
00:27:07.37\00:27:11.22
that you'll help us to surrender
up our sword. Help us to not
00:27:11.26\00:27:15.72
try to make ourselves great
but to trust you with our future
00:27:15.75\00:27:20.83
and Lord I pray that you will
help us to reveal your greatness
00:27:20.87\00:27:25.92
and to glorify you through
the life that you have given
00:27:25.95\00:27:29.08
us. Thank you so much
Father. In Jesus name, Amen.
