Wired To Win // The Blueprint with Dr. Dharius Daniels Hey family, Dr. Darius here and first of all, welcome to the blueprint. I'm incredibly excited about all that God is ((music playing)) doing in this teaching ministry he's giving us. Um, you know, I um very frequently I can be in different parts of the country and uh I'm running into people that are being impacted by the teaching ministry that God has given us uh to serve the body or or parts of the body of Christ at least. ((music playing)) And I'm just really really grateful for it, man, to help people understand how to take the truth of scripture and apply it to their daily life. Like third [snorts] way living, ((music playing)) not just third way ethics, not just third way morals. That's where we start. It's not where we end. But third way living, um, detoxing ((music playing)) from cultures way, detoxing from the church's way, and experiencing the king's way. And that's what Blueprint is all about. And uh I'm excited about I'm so passionate about it ((music playing)) that I'm always open to thinking through, praying through ways to improve our effectiveness. And so ((music playing)) this is why there's been um some time and it's been a bit longer than I anticipated ((music playing)) since that we've come to you with uh live programming, but we've been supplementing you each week and I ((music playing)) hope that's going to I hope it's been serving you well. So I do want to say next week we're going to be I'm going to be back. It's going to be a completely different approach to blueprint. Um, but I feel like it's necessary in this season. I ((music playing)) think it's going to serve you well. And um, I I I just believe God's going to get the glory out of it. ((music playing)) Um, so I want you to make sure you tune in next week. I'm starting a new series next week called Deprogrammed. And uh, I'm in this series on Sunday, man, called Detox. And uh, which is really dealing with the heart. And I want to do some teaching um deprogram ((music playing)) which is dealing with the mind and we're going to be exploring the book of Galatians um because spiritual development not only requires ((music playing)) spiritual detox spiritual development requires some deprogramming and you never outgrow your need to be deprogrammed. I was doing some journaling earlier this week, well journaling last week [snorts] and um I was ((music playing)) writing specifically in my journal like just how I feel. And uh one of the things that I wrote down is I just feel ((music playing)) so free. I feel freer than I've ever been. Why? Because I've detoxed ((music playing)) from some performance orientation in terms of my spirituality. Like as I'm teaching this detox ((music playing)) series, it's like, man, hopefully it's serving others, but God's been doing something in me. And I feel like, you know, in many ways, ((music playing)) like the I felt like in many ways, I was almost like the prodical son, not the prodical son, the elder son in the prodical son story. I don't necessarily have a I left God, I left the church. I I don't have that story, but I do have the elder brother syn. I have had the elder brother syndrome of thinking I had to perform for the father and not like perform um uh like to get him to accept me or whatever. Um but this pressure to perform to certain like the elder brother said all these ((music playing)) all these years I've been slaving for you and uh you know it's like grinding for God grinding for Jesus man that's a sort of performance orientation and so the eldest son was trying to earn through effort something that was inherited through his identity. So I knew how to work but not how to receive. And so some people know how to be a servant, but not how to be a son. And like God in this season is just teaching me how to be a son. And it's so freeing. ((music playing)) It's so I think I'm experiencing the easy yoke of Jesus in a way I never have before. When he says, "My yoke is easy. My burden ((music playing)) is light." I'm experiencing that because remember when he when he makes that invitation, he's offering that invitation to people who are burdened by the yoke of the law. And um so ((music playing)) there's there was some deprogramming that had to happen mentally with me and I'm like man if I had to experience this ((music playing)) and uh not that I'm at the example of what it means to be spiritually mature but I do put the work in. I said if I'm experiencing this how many others are? So we ((music playing)) need to I'm doubling down on this. So it's detox on Sunday but deprogramming on Wednesday. So, it's going to be going to be a bit ((music playing)) different. Um, we're going to take a different approach just because of the nature of the content. It's going to require me to do this series differently. So, ((music playing)) this series next week is going to start and it's just going to be something that I think it's just going to be me teaching uh to a room uh of individuals and uh and also to you in the cyber sanctuary. And I think ((music playing)) it's going to be going to be helpful. But you're you're not going to be without a spiritual meal tonight. There's a message ((music playing)) that um I think is going to add tremendous value to you. It's called Wired to Win. And I want you to receive this message. I believe God's going to speak to you. And uh we'll be back at the end of the message to say goodbye to you. Take care. >> I want us to look at a scripture found in John 16:33. one verse here that Jesus ((music playing)) says to his apprentices, his disciples. He says, "I have told you these things so that in me you will have peace. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world." I want to stop the Okay. I ((applause)) >> I like that. you responding to the word. Okay, [laughter] I want to stop the reading of scripture there and I want us to think around this thought tonight. I want to talk about wired to win. If [snorts] you just believe you've been wired to win. Come on, let's clap our hands and let's let's thank God in advance for what he's about to share. Wired to win. This passage that I just read in John chapter number 16 [snorts] is a powerful picture of a principle I've affectionately entitled the principle of exception. The principle of exception. And this principle simply suggests this. What happens with them does not dictate and determine what happens with me. What happens with them does not dictate and determine what happens with me. In other words, previous patterns are not always accurate indicators of future possibilities. You can't look at what happened with people like me and determine what's possible for me because God is the God of exceptions. This is not a declaration of superiority. This is not a statement of superiority. This is a declaration of distinction. >> I'm I'm not saying exceptionalism I'm better than. I'm saying exceptionism I'm different from. And when you look at all of the words that the Bible uses in the Old and the New Testament to describe the believer, you will discover that none of the words that the Old or New Testament uses to describe the believer is synonymous with normal. >> Not one is synonymous with or similar to normal. You'll find words like salt, light, chosen, royal, peculiar, holy, anointed, selected, protected, pre-ordained, head not tail, above only, not beneath, lenders, not bar. You will see words that describe and depict distinction because God is a God of exceptions. And God's people are people of exceptions. And all throughout scripture, we see examples that corroborate my claim. Most women in their 90s don't have babies. But with Sarah, God made an exception. Most people cannot go into a den full of lions and come out of a lion's den, not destroyed and distraught. But with Daniel, God made an exception. MOST PEOPLE CANNOT GO IN A FIERY FURNACE AND COME out of the fiery furnace and not smell like smoke. But with the Hebrew boys, God made an exception. Most people who have tended to sheep and written songs and poems their whole life cannot take a slingshot and a rock and defeat a 9 foot tall giant who's been trained in military warfare for the entirety of his life. But with David, God made an exception. Most people can't walk around a wall once a day for six days, seven times on the seventh day, scream on the seventh time around, and the wall fall down. But with Joshua, God made an exception. And most people cannot be crucified by Roman capital punishment on a hill called Calvary. stay in the grave all day, all night Friday, all night Saturday and get up early Sunday morning. But with Jesus, [cheering and applause] God made an exception. And so if he can do it for Sarah, if he can do it for Daniel, if he can do it for the Hebrew boys, if he can do it for David, if he can do it for Joshua, if he can do it for Jesus, he can do it for you and me. And I believe 2025 is going to be the year where God makes some examples out of you and me that he's the God of exceptions. If you believe that, come on, take seven seconds and thank him for it. ((applause)) ((applause)) He's the God of exceptions. Yes. >> And when I say he's the God of exceptions, what the scriptures seem to teach is that he makes exceptions not necessarily in our experiences. He makes exceptions in our outcomes. I'm not saying God's people don't go through everything else other people go through. I'm saying God's people don't come out the way everybody else comes out. >> Did you hear what I just said? Yeah. God's people can go through some of the same things everyone else goes through. I just mentioned a moment ago a degree of loss and grief and heartbreak. I experience the same kind of loss and grief and heartbreak that everyone else experiences. I wept just like everybody else weeps when they have a loss. But I don't weep as others weep who have no hope. >> ((applause)) >> And this is the essence of what Jesus seems to be articulating to his disciples in John 16. John 16 is what is called in some academic circles the final discourse. The setting is the last supper. And it is the last conversation. Listen to this. It is the last conversation that Jesus is having with the entire cohort of disciples prior to his death. It is the final discourse. He's giving them marching orders. He's getting ready to transition from bodily form. I'm getting ready to leave you. I'm out of here. And so, let me have this conversation. That's a conversation of preparation so that you're properly prepared for what's waiting on you in the days and in the weeks to come. It's the final discourse. And he's having a conversation of preparation. He's preparing them for what's going to be waiting on them. And he says something in this conversation of preparation that I think is extremely important and often overlooked. Listen to what he says. He says, "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace." Wait a minute. I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. I'm telling you these things before these things become a thing. so that when they become a thing, you don't lose peace. >> So, I'm telling you, before these things actually become a thing, you're going to run into some things. So, when you run into some things, I don't want you to be surprised by the things that you're running into because I'm telling you before I leave, there going to be some things. So, when these things become a thing, I don't want you to lose your peace. It is a conversation of preparation by Jesus giving them some perspective. >> We're going to win in 2025. WE'RE GOING TO THRIVE in 2025. But we need some perspective. WE NEED MORE THAN PASSION to thrive. We need perspective. And Jesus gives them some perspective. He says, "I'm telling you these things now so that in me you will have peace because Jesus knows your perspective affects your peace." Your perspective affects your peace. Your perspective affects your peace. Come on, church of the King. Your perspective affects your peace. See, your peace isn't just determined by what you see. Your peace is determined by how you see it. >> It's not what you see, it's how you see it. And sometimes we can be looking at the same thing God's looking at and not see the same thing. >> Don't you remember a story in the Gospel of John that captures about five chapters earlier that captures an incident in the life of a group of people Jesus is in relationship with, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Lazarus gets sick. Lazarus passes away. They send word to Jesus that Lazarus is dead. And Jesus said he's sleeping. Did you hear what I just said? Jesus says he's sleeping. In other words, God's looking at the thing and people are looking at the thing and they see the same thing, but they don't see the same thing. Yeah. To people, it's dead. To God, it's just taking a nap. And as soon as I get ready, I can wake it up. As soon as I get ready, I can turn it around. As soon as I get ready, I can fix it. >> ((applause)) >> Jesus knows that your peace is impacted by your perspective. So he says, "Let me give you some perspective. I want you to be prepared for the inevitability of adversity. Life's going to life." ((applause)) >> Yeah. It it's it's right in the text. It's right in the text. He says, "I'm telling you these things so that you have peace in me in this world." >> That as a result of living in a world that is not operating in a way that is CONSISTENT WITH GOD'S ORIGINAL INTENT, you're going to experience things that are going to BE PUT IN A category called adversity. IT'S A RESULT of residence in this world. He says in this world, >> you're going to have trouble. [snorts] >> Some trouble is going to be self-induced trouble >> because you're an imperfect person. You make imperfect decisions and every decision is pregnant with the potential to produce a season. You can make a decision in a moment that produces a season. >> So sometimes it wasn't Satan, it was self. It wasn't the enemy, it was the inner me. >> So because you're imperfect person, you got imperfect emotions, you're going to make imperfect decisions. So some of the trouble is going to be self-induced trouble. >> Come on. >> But then because you live in a world where you where you are in relationship, so you are not as This is the gospel by the way. You are not all that you ought to be. But then the people you're in this world with are not all they ought to be either. >> So as a result of this, sometimes you're not only the victim of your own imperfections, sometimes you're going to be the victim of someone else's imperfections. >> That trouble's going to come not because of decisions you make, but decisions that others made >> that adversely impact you. >> ((applause)) >> So I'm not all I ought to be. People are not all they ought to be. And the world is not all it ought to be. And so the creative order is upset. We experience creative disorder. And so now you have, watch this, wildfires >> that out of nowhere ravag cities burn down what people have worked their entire lives to build. It's an imperfect world. So Jesus said, you're going to you, people's going to people, >> and life is going to life. Yeah. >> And I'm telling you that >> so that you can have peace. ((applause)) >> And I think if all of us were honest, if we were to objectively step outside our emotions and look back on 2024, almost all of us would have to admit in 2024 you were you people were people and life [clears throat] were was lifing. But somehow because of God's grace and repurposing power and redemption, [clears throat] YOU STILL WERE ABLE TO THRIVE and to win because Jesus is Jesus is articulating to us here the essence of the gospel. This is important because when I say thrive and when I say win, very often it's easy to assume I'm going to thrive or win because I'm going to avoid trouble. And I am not saying that THERE'S NOT SPACE IN THE GOSPEL FOR AVOIDANCE. There are certain times where God intervenes and what could have happened and what should have happened doesn't happen. [clears throat] >> That's avoidance. THE WHOLE STORY OF PASSOVER IS A miracle of avoidance. Good. >> Where destruction hit everybody's house EXCEPT FOR THE HOUSES THAT were covered and marked by the blood of the lamb. Come on. ((applause)) And there were some things that could have happened and that should have happened and and it didn't happen. AND WE ARE NOT grateful that it happened to somebody else, but we are thankful that it didn't happen to us. And I just want us to take 8 seconds and thank God for some things that could have happened in 2024 that didn't. ((applause)) Here's why I love this house and I love the passion. I love the proactive nature of praise. I love the the passion surrounding that. One, because the story of the 10 lepers tells us that that that expressed appreciation matters to God. Right? Jesus heals the 10 lepers and then they go to show themselves to the priest. One comes back and says, "Thank you." And Jesus asks, "Where are the other nine? I performed 10 miracles. I got one. Thank you." Hallelujah. >> So, so, so, so, so I I love I love it. And here's why it's important. Because there are things each week when we come and gather in this house that we are praising God for that we don't even know about. If you read the book of Job, you'll see that it's wisdom literature. It's in a section of the Bible called wisdom literature. And it gives us wisdom on how to handle suffering. And there's this conversation where Satan approaches God and Satan's like God's like, "Where you been?" He's like, "I've been in Mandeville. I've been in New Orleans. I've been in Covington. I've been I I've been I've been I've been trying to find somebody's life to destroy." He said, "Well, have you considered my servant Job?" He said, "Yeah, I've considered him." He says, "But you've got a hedge around him, his household, and everything he possesses. You got a hedge around him, his household, and everything he possesses. You've got a hedge around him, >> his household, and everything he possesses. You got a hedge around him, his household, and everything he possesses. Satan says this to God, God doesn't say this to Satan. So my question is, how does Satan know that God has a hedge around Job, his household, and everything that Job possesses? Unless Satan had tried to get to Job, his household, and everything he possesses, and he couldn't get to him. >> ((applause)) >> And there are some things and some places and some areas where the adversary tried to get to you and me in 20124 and he couldn't get to it because of the hedge that was around us. So every Sunday when I come into the house of God, I'm clapping my hands and lifting my hands and raising my voices because of another week where he kept a hedge around me. ((applause)) ((applause)) So yes, there's room for avoidance >> in the gospel. There are certain things that could happen that don't happen. But the gospel is not just a gospel of avoidance. The gospel is also a gospel of overcoming. >> Sometimes I win because I avoided and other times I win because I overcome. >> Either way, all I do is win. ((applause)) Did you hear what I just said? >> Sometimes I win because I avoid. Other times I win because I overcome. Either way, all I do is win. So if Passover happens and it passes over me, I win. But if the Lion Dans happen, I still win. And if the fiery furnace happens, I still win. And if I go through a joblike season, suffering for which there is no logical explanation, I still win. All I do is win. I've been wired. ((applause)) I've been wired to win. >> And I've learned something about this. When Jesus says, "In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world." I've realized that the word trouble sounds simple, but it's actually complex. That word trouble is a loaded word. We all have trouble. But all trouble isn't the same. So if I'm going to overcome trouble, I've got to understand trouble. Because you cannot overcome what you don't understand. When you understand the nature of a thing, its behavior becomes predictable. >> [snorts] >> So to say I can overcome trouble, I need to have a deeper understanding [clears throat] of what kind of trouble I'm going to have to overcome. And here's what I found in my study of scripture so far. If Pastor Steve invite me back in the future, I may have changed my stance. I don't know. But right now, here's what I see in scripture that almost all trouble can fall into three categories. It's either a storm, that's in the Bible, a thorn that's in the Bible, or a cross. >> Whatever you're facing, it's a storm. It's a thorn or a cross. And I need God to guide my discernment to help me see which one I'm in. Because a thorn doesn't behave like a storm. And the storm doesn't behave like a thorn. And a thorn doesn't behave like a cross. And a cross doesn't behave like a thorn. So I can't handle a storm the way I would handle a thorn. And I shouldn't handle a thorn the way I should handle a cross. And sometimes believers are losing where they could be winning because they're fighting the right thing the wrong way. ((applause)) I was reading Mark chapter 4 and I saw this story that captures where Jesus instructs his disciples, let's go over to the other side. Please don't let the let's go over fool you. It's not a request. In the original language, this is an imperative. It's like we going. [laughter] Yeah. He says, "Let's go over to the other side." SO THEY GET IN A boat to go to the other side and they run into a storm. The only reason they run into adversity is because they were obedient. ((applause)) >> He told them to get in the boat. They were being good disciples and they did what Jesus said and their obedience led them to adversity. >> What do you do when you feel like I did the right thing but I still find myself in the wrong storm? >> The only reason they run into the storm is because they're obedient. Listen to this. This is interesting. The Bible says Jesus is sleep. How you telling me to get on the boat that's going to run? You know everything, right? You God. How you telling me to get on the boat, we run into a storm, you're asleep. I gotta wake you up. And the disciple asks [snorts] a question. This the King James. Master carth not that we perish. >> God, don't you even care? >> Your actions seem to be inconsistent with all the things you've articulated to me. You say you love me. You say no weapon formed against me shall prosper. You say I'm more than a conqueror. >> But your inactivity makes me feel like you don't care. So they wake him up. He rebukes the wind, calms the storm, and then corrects the disciples. calms the storm, corrects the disciples. calms the storm, correct corrects the disciples. I'm like, I'm a little confused about the correction because you're like, King James, owe ye a little faith. And I'm like, what do you mean little faith? You don't see this water in this boat? Like, you didn't feel this. I know you were asleep, but this boat was rocking when you were asleep. Like, But maybe Jesus is making that statement not because the water was in the boat, but because he was in the boat. [laughter] ((applause)) >> So, I don't know what may get in your boat this year. Grief might get in your boat. Pain might get in your boat. Betrayal might get in your boat. Hard times may get in your boat. But the question that you've always got to ask yourself is, is Jesus in this boat? And if Jesus is in this boat, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. If Jesus is in the boat, you can get to the other side. If Jesus is in the boat, ((applause)) a storm, a temporary season of inconvenience that the enemy wants to use to get us to act impulsively and unwisely. The storm can't destroy me, but my response to it can. ((applause)) >> Did you hear what I just said? The storm can't destroy me, but my response to it can >> when I'm in a storm. Don't act impulsively and don't act unwisely >> because it's safer on [clears throat] the boat with Jesus. >> ((applause)) >> That's a storm. [snorts] But then I was reading something that the Apostle Paul wrote in his second recorded letter to believers in Corenth. And Paul's a very transparent leader. He's more transparent than I'm comfortable with. He's a very transparent. I mean, he just tell all his business in his writings. And watch what he says in 2 Corinthians 12. says, "Because of these surpassing great revelations, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh." >> Watch what he says. A messenger of Satan. >> Wait a minute. He says, "Because I'm getting access to spiritual insights I didn't even ask for." >> Paul's like, "I didn't ask for this, by the way. That was given to me, a thorn in the flesh." But he labels the source as Satan, a messenger. That word angelos there can mean an individual or it can mean an issue. And here's what Paul says in verse eight. He says concerning this thing I sought the Lord three times and asked him to remove it from me and on the third time God said no my grace is sufficient but wait a minute he says this is this is this is a thorn a messenger of Satan one translation says to buffet me and to buffet means to strike repeatedly >> is not injuring me but it's aggravating me >> repeatedly >> and he says concerning this thing I sought the Lord three times and God's like, "No, I kind of like that." What? He says, "Yeah, it's a messenger of Satan, so Satan sent it. God looked at it, he liked it, so he left it. Satan sent it. God looked at it. He liked it, so he left it. Satan sent it. God looked at it. He liked it, so he left it. He said, "This isn't really injuring you, Paul. It's aggravating you. If it was injuring you, I may deal with it, but it's aggravating you." >> And so, watch this. He says, "But I like what it's doing. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you grace to endure." Yeah. >> When I'm not going TO ALTER BECAUSE I like the result it's producing. >> Paul, you say, "I never been in this much pain." I'm seeing you never been in this much prayer. ((applause)) NEVER BEEN THIS AGGRAVATED. HE'S SAYING YOU NEVER BEEN DISOINTED. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to repurpose what the enemy sent and I'm GOING TO GIVE YOU GRACE BECAUSE IT'S producing spiritual fruit in YOU THAT'S NOT PRODUCED ANY OTHER WAY. I'M NOT GOING TO REMOVE THIS. I LIKE THIS SO I'M going to leave it. ((applause)) >> Storms have a beginning and end date. >> Thorns can be indefinite. >> It's an inconvenience orchestrated by the adversary that's intended to aggravate us to the degree that we abandon our assignment. >> Paul could have said, "You know what? I don't have to take this. >> I can do something else with my life." But sometimes it's taking the things you don't have to take that God uses to make you in ways that nothing else could make you. >> Psalm of Storms. I'm done. Psalm thorns. Do you want number three before I take my seat? ((applause)) Some are storms. I'm done. Some are thorns and then others are crosses. Hear the words of Jesus. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow me." You don't choose your storm. You don't choose your thorn, but you choose your cross. >> ((applause)) >> Jesus said, "If you're going to follow me, you must deny yourself. Take up your cross." >> Amen. >> And follow me. What's a cross? And this is an area where, watch this. When Jesus was on the cross, he was stretched, right? >> I said when Jesus was on the cross, he was stretched, right? >> Cuz crosses stretch you. us. >> What do you mean? A cross is the inconvenience we choose to carry >> because we value Christ's cause more than our convenience. ((applause)) >> Cross is the inconvenience we choose to carry. Yes. >> Because we value Christ's cause >> more than our convenience. >> Here's what I learned. When it comes to God, the threeletter word yes is an expensive word. It may cost you some things. But here's what I have found to be true exeetically through scripture. And I found it to be true experientially. God cannot be outgiven. >> Spurgeon says it is implausible and inconceivable that you can outgive God. So he will not allow me to sacrifice something and give me something inferior in exchange. ((applause)) If you because Jesus sacrificed one body on the cross, God gave him another one in resurrection, >> a greater one, >> a glorified one. >> ((applause)) >> And whatever you're willing to put on the cross, God is able >> to give you a resurrection. >> Listen to me. I know it. All these campuses, people are watching us in the prison locations right now and all locations and online. I know there are people all over this room ((music playing)) right now. like the year just started. You're like this. I had even got through the first two weeks of the year, Pastor Daryus, and I'm already having some John 16:33 moments already the year. Some of you in a season where you dealing with a storm and you're like, "Pastor, this wind is blowing and I'm trying to stay anchored and it's ((music playing)) blowing in all directions. blowing in my family, blowing in my body, blowing in my mind, blowing in my resources. I need Jesus. If he's not going to calm the storm right now, if he's not going to calm the storm I'm in, I need Jesus to calm the storm in me. >> Yeah. Amen. Amen. >> I'm talking to you. ((applause)) I know you're in here. I know you're in here. You're in a storm. It's blowing and it's hard. >> Yes. >> Others of you right now, like, pastor Daryus, there's something about that thorn that's speaking to me and I don't want to mismanage it. It's not injuring me. It's not wounding me, but it's wearing me down. I'm tired. I'm trying to believe. But pastor, if I'm honest, I'm tired of believing. >> I'm wor doing some things in me through this, but that doesn't mean I'm not having trouble handling what's happening ((music playing)) to me, even though God's using it to do something in me. I know I'm I'm talking to you right now. Go ahead. >> And some of you right now, you're at a valley of decision. You got to choose whether or not you're going to take up that cross. Whether you're going to value convenience over calling. Here's one of my prayers. God, deliver me. It's constant prayer of ((music playing)) mine. From the idol of comfort. >> Yeah, that's good. >> Cuz if I'm honest, I want to be comfortable. >> I don't want to take risk, >> but I value your cause more than my convenience. And some of you, the issue isn't will you carry it. The issue is are you going to keep carrying it? >> Cuz even Jesus needed help carrying his. ((applause)) >> Okay, family. Super grateful, super excited for that revelation that we all receive. Man, we are wired to ((music playing)) win. And I want you to not just, you know, to receive that cognitively, but to embrace that spiritually and emotionally. It's one thing to have comprehension. It's another thing to have a conviction. That's my prayer. This becomes a conviction of yours. I've been wired to win. [snorts] Well, listen. As we as is our custom each week, we create space for people to respond in gratitude uh for God's goodness to them in all areas of their life, including God's goodness being displayed through the word that he gives us through this teaching ministry. And so, we create space for people to sew into the field that they're harvesting from. And so, ways to give are coming up on the screen. I want to thank so many of you who understand the principle of sewing and reaping and who ((music playing)) um aid and assist us in getting this teaching ministry out to as many people as possible. Man, we're just so grateful to God for you and all that God has is has ((music playing)) done and doing. And remember, next week we're starting a brand new series in blueprints, a different approach to blueprint. This series is different. I'm in this series called Detox on Sunday and I'm doing something called deprogrammed on Wednesdays and we're going to be using the book of Galatians as ((music playing)) our text book cuz detox is taking place in our heart but some deprogramming has to take place in our mind because spiritual development not only requires spiritual detox spiritual development requires deprogramming. And so we're going to take a deep dive into that starting next week. I want you to get the word out. I believe God's going to meet us in a tremendous way, man. All right, take care. ((music playing)) God bless.
