I'm so glad to be here okay I'll do the preliminary things because they've told me I'm supposed to stand right here and show you my shoes okay so I'm gonna stand here so you can see my shoes I never wear these shoes somebody gave them to me as a gift and you know here you have shoes and you just look at them and go those are so pretty what am I gonna do with those can't just go to the grocery store in store in sequins shoes so when Miss Joyce team emailed and said hey you need to wear good shoes y'all should have seen me in my closet trying to figure out what do you do with sequin shoes but it's it's fun to have an opportunity to wear them so thank you so much miss Joyce for that I appreciate that so much it is a privilege to be with you guys I want to thank you for being so kind and and receptive to me and just so welcoming it's always a privilege to be able to be here I'm always excited because I know that I'm going to be refreshed that I'm gonna be changed that my life is going to be encouraged not only in the messages that are shared for Miss Joyce and the other members of the team that are going to be serving as well but also just from you individuals who have been so kind I was thinking just about how refreshing it is to be with all of you this week has been a little bit of a tough week for me I was just just had a little situation in my life that really caused me to just trip up a little bit with fear and a little bit of intimidation and just praying about that as this praying Laura just helped me to walk and courage and walk in confidence and not to let fear take root at all in my life and sweet woman just came up to me a few moments ago and just gave me a big hug and said I have a gift for you and and she didn't even know what she was doing I just cried a little bit as she just came over a moment ago because she gave me a gift I don't even know what the gift is y'all all I know is that I looked in the packaging and the the title or the packaging itself the label on it says live fearless Lee I'll know if it's hand lotion I don't know what it is all I saw was live fearlessly and the Holy Spirit whispered to me I got you I got you I'm so grateful miss Joyce thank you for having me I'm very grateful to be here y'all let's pray Lord Jesus thank you so much for your word I thank you that it is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword Lord you have come to speak to us and so I asked father that you will I pray Lord that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my hearts will be acceptable I love what Miss Joyce prayed last night father she said do not let me say anything that is not exactly what you want your daughters to hear speak Lord in Jesus name Amen as was mentioned I have the privilege of raising three sons Jackson is 16 and then Jerry jr. is 14 and then we have Jude I've told y'all before Judas he's 10 years old now but he's our surprise boy we still don't know how Jude made it here and we named him Jude on purpose because that's as close as I could get to Revelation because honey it is finished that is the end of the lines Jackson Jerry jr. and Jude I took them earlier this year to the movies that's one of our things we like to do is go to a movie when one comes out that's really what we want to see and it's kind of our thing and so we went to the movies we saw it in 3d so we sat down we are all together at this Disney movie and and we we started the film and after the film was already well underway I'm talking worth 15-20 minutes into the movie Jude the youngest looks over at me and taps me on the shoulder and says mom I don't like this movie and I said buddy why don't you like the movie he said I cannot see it it is blurry why did they make a movie in 3d but the whole thing is blurry since the beginning of this thing I haven't been able to really clearly see anything and I look down at him and I said buddy did you take the glasses did you take the glasses out of the package you know that gave me those little glasses and he said these and I said yes but he those put them on he puts the glasses on and he had neglected to put on at the very beginning and he said I love conferences like this one opportunities like this one because y'all what it really is about is fitting you with the spiritual eyewear that you need to see your life from the perspective of how God sees you and the story that he's crafting through your life and through mine the movie that I took them to go see was Incredibles 2 Incredibles 2 I'm not sure if you saw that one but it was man just as good as the first one and I loved the storyline so much in this one mr. incredible and his wife Elastigirl you know they're in the throes of taking care of evil and sort of coming out of retirement in order to do that but in Incredibles to its Elastigirl that takes the forefront she's the one that sort of at the helm of fighting dangers and evil in the society and the children end up having to get much more involved this time man they are running across powers that they never knew they had there being second scenarios that are a little bit dangerous a little bit risky lots of adventure that they are called to sort of be a part of and you know Elastigirl she's got a Mama's heart and she's watching her three babies in the throes of all of this and at one point she turns to her husband mr. incredible and she says they're just children and he says they're children but they're children with power and because they have power that makes them special and then he said whether or not they choose to use the power is up to them but either way they've got it it occurs to me in a room this size with women that are actually daughters that have placed faith in Jesus Christ were children but y'all we ain't just children we're children with power that the Holy Spirit of God has given you power so that whatever place of danger or risk or adventure that you may have been called into you need to know that you've got the power to sustain you into that place in which you have been called and but here's the deal whether or not you choose to use it now that's up to you what I don't want is to get to the end of my days only to look back and realize I had all that power but never took advantage of it it is at least in part to that end that I believe that there is a portion of Scripture that men over the past year it has spoken so clearly to me and been a blessing in my life I want to share it with you it is in Luke's Gospel if you have your Bible and you want to turn there with me you can't if you know if you actually still use the Bible with paper pages like I do or your iPhone your iPad pad any manner of IMS will get you to Luke chapter 9 I think they're gonna put it on the screens as well I want to read verse 1 in 2 then I'm gonna jump over to verse 10 I'm gonna read verse 10 through 17 Luke chapter 9 verse 1 and 2 says this it says and he called the twelve together that's Jesus he called the twelve together he gave them power and authority over all demons and to heal diseases and then he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and perform healing listen to that again this is the disciples going on their adventure and Jesus called he called somebody sick he called he called the twelve together and then he gave somebody say he days he gave them power and he gave them authority then verse two says and then he sent somebody say he sent he sent them out verse 10 says and when the Apostles returned they gave him an account of all that they had done and taking them with him he was three by himself to a city called Bethsaida and the multitudes verse 11 says they were aware of they're still they follow Jesus and welcoming them he began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing verse 12 says and the day began to decline the twelve came and said to him Jesus please send this multitude away they need to go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat for right here I don't know if you've noticed or not Jesus but here we're in a desolate place but jesus said to them in verse 13 he said uh-uh you give him something to eat they said come on Jesus we have no more than five loaves and two fish unless perhaps we go and we buy food for all of these people Luke wants to make sure you know that there were 5000 men there I love the physician Luke because he wants to tell you the details he says five thousand men because there were women and children there so scholars say there were likely 15 thousand there on that patch of stony ground that day Jesus said have all of them reclined in groups of about 50 verse 15 says so they did that had them all reclined and Jesus took the five loaves than the two fish and looking up to heaven he blessed them and then he broke them and he kept giving them to the disciples to set before the multitude and verse 17 says they all ate and they were all satisfied and then they picked up the leftovers and when they did they discovered that there were twelve baskets full of leftovers in this very familiar story that many of us probably have heard or and are in some way familiar with is a story of a multitude of people who are being fed they are hungry they are empty they're in need of nourishment and they are more in need of an encounter with Jesus and Jesus gives them both but I want us to turn our attention away from the multitude and really focus in on these twelve disciples the disciples those who walk with Jesus and talk with Jesus those who are in relationship with Jesus those who follow him the who want to learn of Jesus the disciples the one who's fly halfway across the country to come to the conference to learn more about Jesus the disciples I believe that this story this well loves story and encounter miraculous encounter that Jesus had in the scriptures man I believe that it is it is starts not just when the crowd gets hungry I really do believe that it starts in verse 1 and 2 we find the disciples the twelve have an up-close personal encounter with Jesus we find more out more about this particular encounter that they had in mark chapter 6 you don't have to turn there but this exact same story is told in mark chapter 6 what I love so much about the first three books of the New Testament is that they're called the synoptic Gospels Matthew Mark and Luke synoptic meaning that there's synergy in the stories that are told the tone in which they're told the way that they uh that the writers wrote those particular encounters and the more you read them the more layers of insight you can gain about what happened in that particular story in that particular encounter that Jesus had we found this same story found in mark chapter 6 and when we read mark chapter 6 it gives us some texture to the story it's kind of like if someone offered you some chocolate cake and they gave you an option you can either have a one layer chocolate cake or a seven layer chocolate cake well I don't know what y'all gonna do but I'm gonna choose the seven-layer chocolate cake every single time because the more layers there are the more rich and delectable the experience becomes mark chapter six is our layer of chocolate cake what we find out is that this is the occasion where God called Jesus called the disciples together and do you remember he sent them out in pairs he sent them out two by two to the neighboring towns and the neighboring communities they he sent them out within that women assignment their assignment was that everywhere they went every person that they encountered should walk away with a more clear picture in their head of who Jesus really is they were supposed to go out in power and authority to preach and to teach and to perform miracles for the purpose of authenticating that Jesus was who he said he was and that Jesus could do exactly what he had said that he could do the whole point of the disciples coming together and then being dispersed was so that the power and authority with which they would live their life would mean that every person they encountered every interaction that they had would leave the people who they had encountered knowing that Jesus must be the real deal what's the point of us coming together just after we leave this place every person we encounter does not know that there must be a god somewhere and his name is Jesus Christ so they go out in pairs and I mean they handle their in assignment with integrity they are fully entrenched mark chapter six tells us in the task that is at hand and after they finished the assignment they come back to Jesus and they give him an account so how they handled the assignment that they had been given how they handled the ministry that had been entrusted to them I want to make sure that everybody in the room knows that they are in ministry if you have named the name of Jesus Christ you are in ministry don't let someone else or the enemy convinced you that ministry is relegated to standing on a platform behind a podium with a little microphone attached to you ministry is the place where you've been called to serve in the assignment that you have been given every one of us are representatives of the King of Kings and the Lord of lords so mother of small children don't let anybody tell you that you're not in ministry every single time you sit around that dinner table with the casserole that you prepare the new way that you figured out to make chicken for dinner tonight and you figure it out successfully one more night and you sit those kids around the table and you pray over them and you teach them a Bible verse before they go to bed don't let anybody tell you that that a ministry and high school student when you're walking down the corridor of that high school that you attend and you're the one that stands for righteousness in the midst of the darkness don't let anybody tell you seventh grader eighth grader freshman sophomore that you are not in ministry and university students like mr.

Dave's nieces he just told us about University student when you are the only one in the philosophy class where the professor is telling you things and teaching you things that are left Center of the truth of God's Word and you're the only student in the class of 300 that raises their hands and takes them to term and lets them know that there actually is and corporate man a woman when you sit around that boardroom table and you're the only one that when they're talking about the projections for the future but they lacked a smidge of integrity or character and you're the one that stands for white just doesn't calls people back to the truth of God don't let anybody tell you that that a ministry every single one of us has an assignment and just like the disciples the day is coming where we're gonna have to give an account the day is coming sooner than we think what we're going to look our Savior in his face that we're gonna have to give an account for how we used our time and how we used our talents and how we use the gifts that he entrusted to us and how we took care of the assignments that teach and every one of us have been called to he's not gonna ask me about her assignment he's gonna ask me about mine and he's not gonna be interested and how many Instagram followers ahead he will not be interested in how many people weren't my friends on Facebook that likes the tweets that I put up he's only gonna ask me number one did I know his son Jesus Christ and then I will have to give an account for the assignment that he called me to and when I look my Savior in his face I want to tell you that I am looking for anybody interested in well done I want to share well done which means that my main priority can't be to please you your main priority cannot be to please me our priority collectively cannot be to garner the applause of people our interest has to be in garnering the applause of heaven because the day is coming you think we're going to have to look our Saviour and give him an account it has been about two months ago on July 24th that I celebrated gosh my 19th wedding anniversary I was out celebrating with my husband doing what you do when you've been married for almost 20 years we we were at HomeGoods just strolling around just enjoying an afternoon you know with no schedule we'd had a little bit of dinner and then we just went ran a few errands or just kind of walking around in in HomeGoods I was looking forward to the whole week I had plans the next day with really my best friend one of my best friends my cousin went her we had plans we were going to go to the movies together she was gonna drop her four girls off off at my house so that my three boys and the four girls their cousins they could all kind of hang out and be together we had a plan for the next day it was just gonna be a fun week so I was strolling through HomeGoods on the 24th just enjoying my time with my man and the phone rang and I saw that Jonathan Pitts winters husband Jonathan Pitts his name popped up on my phone and because their last name is Pitts we always kind of tease them about that I always answer the phone and I say you're the pig so I answered the phone right there in an aisle way between the kitchen towels and the bath towels and I said you're the Pitts what's that and I just heard sobs sobs Jonathan could barely catch his breath I had to calm him down Jonathan what is happening why are you crying of course I was I was startled just because of the intensity of the phone call as I heard this groan man wailing and wailing Jonathan what is going on he said she's not breathing she's not breathing I said what are you talking about who's not breathing he said winter she's not breathing I said Jonathan what's happening did you call an ambulance yes they're on their way but Priscilla I don't think she's gonna make it I've been doing CPR they've only to live in two or three minutes since I've called them they're on their way but I can't I can't get her to respond to me she's not breathing I said Jonathan we're on our way we jumped in the car we were about 30 minutes from where the ambulance was taking her I called on the way to talk to him he was being driven in a car with some friends of ours that I had immediately go over they were at our house immediately had go over to take him we arrived at the hospital and when I arrived at the hospital I ran down the corridor and another family member was standing outside of the room already leaned up against the wall and I said to her is she breathing yet and I knew that when Andre I looked back at me and shook her head know that if it took me 30 minutes to get there if she was not yet breathing that means she probably wasn't going to breathe again they let me in that little room to see my 38 year old best friend and cousin with four small children ages 13 and under four girls she went from being fine and planning a movie with me in a play date with the kids one minute the last message I have is from it from her at 5:00 p.m. and it's 6:15 p.m.

God said it's time and she stepped out of history into eternity and in a moment she had to give an account I want to say to all of you who are in the room that you do not know the day nor the hour and that if because you're 35 or because you're 25 you think you're pretty young so you have a whole lot of time ahead of you would you listen to me and listen to me clearly that you cannot judge whether or not you're old or young based on your birthdate it has to be judged based on your death date because if you're 25 but you only have to you're 36 you're pretty old if you're 50 but you've got until you're 95 you're pretty young but for all of us since we do not know when he will call us home since we do not know when we'll have to look at our savior in his face and give him an account we better get busy living fully the adventure to which he had called us and when these disciples came to Jesus the reality is that he said to them basically well done he acknowledged that they had exhausted themselves fully engaged in the task at hand mark chapter 6 says that he recognized that they had done the thing that they had been busy following hard after the assignment to which they had been called they had done the thing would you look at the woman next to you and say girl do the thing they had effective ministry so I wonder really quickly if you don't mind I wondered if I could just take a rabbit trail for a second because I found in this story a recipe for effective ministry I just want to open up a parenthesis here to tell anybody who's interested what the recipe is for effective ministry anybody interested there's a recipe here the recipe is in those first two verses there are three ingredients to the recipe it says first ingredient he's cold then he called them all there are so many beautiful layers here in this first ingredient in the recipe I loved so much that God the Father the glory of all of God Almighty that he was willing to clothe himself to encase himself in flesh the purpose was so that the word John writes could become flesh and dwell among us so that we could behold his glory the glory of the only begotten of the Father Jesus made it so that he condescended to humans so that when he spoke the disciples could actually hear the voice of God the Father in the person of Jesus Christ all that deity closed in humanity so that he could meet us where we are he made it so that humans could hear him and what he did in the first century is exactly what he does in this century through the person of the Holy Spirit that just like they could hear the call of God on their life through Jesus Christ you get the privilege to hear the call of God for your life through the person of the Holy Spirit God calls he convicts he compels he challenges throughout this conference you're gonna feel a pain in your gut it will be the Holy Spirit saying go and here's the thing about the hope about these disciples when they heard the call of Jesus when Jesus said you go out in pairs and authenticate Who I am through the deeds that I'm giving you power and authority to carry out when they to call of Jesus there was no other earthly ambition that they had that superseded the calling of Jesus on their lives when they heard the call of Jesus they laid everything else down to pursue what it was that Jesus had asked them to do may it never be that we have ambitions that are higher than the ambitions of God's calling for us may we always be willing to lay down our nets to leave behind prior ambitions to do what it is that God's God has called us to do may his calling in your ears and in your heart be like fire shut up in your bones to where you can't not do what God has called you to do Lord forgive us when because of hubris our pride or arrogance we have left your calling to pursue a calling that was never ours to pursue forgive us father when we have tried to walk in shoes that were somebody else's shoes to wear forgive us father when we try to walk down the lane that was never our lane to walk down when he calls accept and celebrate your calling and then I love that when he called them he didn't just jump to the third ingredient he didn't call him and then send them I loved it before he sent them the second ingredient in the recipe is that he gave them power come on somebody say power and he gave them authority which means they did not have to be afraid that they were not equipped for the calling because even if as miss Joyce taught us last night they did not have the natural capacity to sustain them in the calling he entrusted them supernaturally with the power and authority they would need to succeed in the assignment that he gave them in other words he does not call you because you are already equipped he calls you and then for those that will say yes sir he will equip you with exactly what you need to sustain you in the calling that you have been given can I tell you that there is a very real enemy and the enemy hopes you will go in your own power he hopes that you will go in your own authority he hopes you will think and I will think that we are gifted enough or talented enough or savvy enough or you impressive enough what he does not what is a woman who has chosen to rest not in her laurels but in the power and the authority that has been trusted her by Almighty God it is the anointing and the favor of God on your life that will sustain you in the calling to which you have been sent and called it is his supernatural endowment his entrusting of power and authority in you that will make you the mother that you're supposed to be the wife that you're supposed to be the single woman that you're supposed to be the career woman that you're supposed to be the entrepreneur that you're supposed to be the woman in ministry that you're supposed to be whatever it is that he has called you to do it do he will give you exactly what you need to be victorious and successful in that task so he called them there's the first ingredient then he entrusted them with power and authority Oh y'all the power is there whether or not you choose to use it is up to you and then third ingredient he sent them listen he's the one that did the sending resist the urge to send yourself to do an assignment that it is not yet time for because just as important as your calling is itself so too is the is the timing in which that assignment is out worked in your life because if you give birth too soon to an assignment that it is not yet time for you will abort the character that he was trying to build in you you will abort the spiritual backbone the maturity that was going to be necessary to sustain you in the assignment to which you have been called it listen the spotlight that you may be craving if that spotlight hits you and you have no character that light will burn you to a crisp so wait until God Cisco Lord make us patient enough to wait for the time and the season that you have called us to do what you have asked us to do so the disciples after being called after being entrusted with power and authority after being sent in the timing of Jesus they go to give it their best they give it their all they handle well the assignment as disciples that they have been called to handle they come back and they give them an account Jesus says man y'all done well and you're tired he acknowledges that they are plain old flat out any disciples in the house tired cuz man you haven't been doing the thing perfectly but you've been doing it purposefully your marriage your children and your job the ministry man you've been trying your best you've been doing it diligently you've come to this conference and you are plain old flat out time you're so glad that all of these sessions are gonna happen today but you're you're debating because you just you know that you could take a nap cuz you're tired anybody come on now Jesus recognizes their exhaustion here's what I love about this whole encounter Jesus has with these exhausted depleted disciples who by the way Jesus recognizes in mark chapter six he says y'all haven't even had time to eat he says you're hungry too you haven't even had time to eat I have never been that busy anybody ever I don't get that busy I'm the kind of girl that I'm not gonna order a salad and have slow water to be cute mhm i'ma order the biggest plate of nachos they got and then when I'm finished i'ma scan your plate for any leftovers but the disciples had not even had time to eat here's what I love about Jesus encounter with the tired depleted exhausted the disciples he does not say to them y'all go away from me take a nap get yourselves together then come back and I'll use you he says come away cuz you do need rest but come away with me don't go away from me come away with me in other words the cure for your exhaustion is intimacy with Jesus that's the cure you're looking for so take a holiday take a sabbatical take a vacation step back for a little while so you can get yourself together from the ministry or your job or that endeavor but but when you take the holiday don't take a holiday from Jesus the actual oppression that you're looking for cannot be found apart from an intimate servant close up relationship with the lover of your soul intimacy with him is the cure for your exhaustion so he says to them come away with me he takes them across the northern tip of the Sea of Galilee to a little patch of stony ground that is right outside of a town called Bethsaida he takes the disciples on a retreat so they can be replenished and refueled he's taking them on a holiday so when they arrive on the little patch of stony ground outside of the town of Bethsaida and there are 15,000 people waiting for them you can imagine how perplexed the disciples must have been Jesus you said for us to come away with you you said there was gonna be something in us and then for us you said we were gonna be replenished and refueled Hill here and Jesus of course in his sovereignty sovereignty means he's seen the end from the beginning sovereignty means he stood in eternity past and he has seen all of time from its beginning all the way to the end of the spectrum of time which we have not yet seen and he has seen into eternity future sovereignty means not only that he's seen the whole time spectrum of time and eternity sovereignty means he's got the whole thing in the palm of his hands which means your life and mine which is a blip on the radar screen of the spectrum of time and eternity is also in the palm of his hand if you believe in the sovereignty of God it's what allows you to do what Psalm 46:10 says be still cease to strive chill out and know that I am God so he knew what the disciples could have never known in his sovereignty jesus knew that he was taking the tired disciples to a place where there was going to be a multitude waiting on them when they got there it was not a mistake it was of the sovereign design of God which means there must have been something in that multitude that was going to be refreshing for the disciples it tells us that this that well-loved biblical encounter is not just about the multitude getting fit it's about the disciples getting fed it tells us that the five loaves and the two fish was the gift to the multitude but it's that multitude that is the gift to the disciples there's something about that multitude placing a demand on them something that is out of their control and beyond their capacity something that they do not feel like they have the capacity to handle it's that multitude that is actually going to enable the disciples to finally pull out the treasure that they've been ignoring and acting like it's completely insignificant it's the multitude that is gonna have them see what it looks like to place their little bit into the hands of a multiplying master and watch him perform a miracle that is going to blow their minds it's the multitude that's gonna have them access the power and authority that has been given to them by Jesus and see what it looks like to operate in the power and authority that is rightfully theirs without the multitude they would never have the opportunity to experience the power of God that has been entrusted to them I'm talking to anybody that's got a multitude in your life that there is something pressing on you that is you out there is a struggle in your marriage your finances are in your health or on your job and it's more than you can handle the multitude is beyond your natural capacity the good news is when you come face to face with a sovereignly ordained multitude that means the multitude is your gift because the multitude is gonna have you start accessing power and authority and treasure that you would have discounted before it's gonna have you look at the five loaves and the two fish that little gifts that little talent that little finance that little energy that little patience that little idea that little creativity that you thought was so useless before you're gonna pull it out the multitude go make you pull it out the multitude is your gift did you notice that in verse 12 the disciples say Jesus send the multitude away and we don't just say it we pray it in Jesus name and by the power of Almighty God I speak to the multitude Lord take this multitude away and we don't even know that we're praying away this thing that is our gift in verse 12 the disciples are praying away if you look they are praying away at what in verse 11 Jesus just welcomed it says in verse 11 he welcomed the multitude 1 verse later the disciples are praying away what they don't even know is their gift resist the urge to wish away what God has welcomed into your experience instead say Lord don't take it away if there's something in it for me Lord instead fit me with the right eye wear the right spiritual hour that will help me to see this 3ds X you're right Lord don't let this multitude be taken away until I say see and mine from it every single treasure every single gift every single nuance that's gonna build my life Lord that's gonna help me to access this power and authority Lord don't let this multitude leave my life until I milk it for every single thing you jesus said to the disciples the exact same thing I want to say to you today he said verse 13 you give them something to eat everything your multitude needs is already in your hand you don't need something else something more something different what you need you've already got pull it out tap into the power and authority of the Holy Spirit of God that is already on the inside of you so finally the disciples they take their little bit and they place it in the hands listen I place it in the hands of Jesus you need to know that everything changes when you take your little bit and give it back to God Jesus took the little meager gifts of man thank you Lord he took them a little bit that they had and looking up to heaven he blessed it you don't need more you just need God's blessing on the five loaves and the two fish you've already you don't need more time you don't need more still you don't need necessarily more resource all that you need is God's blessing his favor his anointing his God's favor is what opens up doors god bless the five loaves and the two fish and then he broke it and then he kept handing it out to the disciples and it kept going and it kept going and it kept going and going and they had no idea that disciples couldn't figure out where all of this resource was coming from they just had this and now it keeps going and going their patience just exponentially their resources their ideas their creativity their gifts their talent everything that they need was already in their hands they just they just had to give it to Jesus and now the entire multitude is sustained and verse 17 says that when everybody ate and just in case you're not clear on what kind of meal this is they want you to know everybody ate to the point of satisfaction they were filled up to overflowing and after everybody got a good old Sunday afternoon kind of meal they picked up the leftovers and there were twelve baskets full twelve baskets there was one basket for each disciple to take home as a reminder of the great power of God to make I believe in your life Lord Jesus multiply our resources do it for your glory it is in Jesus name that we pray amen
