Sermon Tone Analysis

Amen.

Thank you, Dave.

Wow.

New season.

Not one of our favorite Seasons.

I don't know if any of you saw the forecast this week.

Where can I get snow?

Not us.

Alberta is the mountains?

Definitely us.

No, no we're not ready for that yet.

We had a great.

We need the moisture but I think we need some rain.

But Today, I want to start a new series.

and I'll be honest with you, I've been struggling with this For several months.

Now.

Asking God, where do you want us to focus on?

Cuz I see so many needs out there.

I see that.

We need a release of healing.

So I want to do a series on healing.

And I, I know we need I don't want to talk about these things.

But they're so heavy on my heart but I really feel we need to do a series on the holy spirit so that people of every generation.

Learns what other Generations have already experienced and that focus.

And how do I got?

How do I Alright, how do I? Say all these things in this.

And got stuck while I want you to say the most important thing and I'm like Doug, what's the most important thing?

He said, what what is the enemy been trying to do for the last 2 years?

I'm like, well, it doesn't take a prophet to see that, right?

Like, it's pretty obvious.

She said, the enemy has tried to steal and kill and destroy relationships between people That's been His Highest objective.

It hasn't like sure you want to talk about covid deaths.

Yeah, people have died of covid.

The number of deaths.

There's not any higher than they've ever been any other time.

So, it's not really the Death part of it, but where he is really focused his efforts and his Energies.

It's on destroying relationships.

I don't know about you.

But I can tell you, I have had more struggles in relationships in the last two years, and I've ever had in my life.

And part of it is because we have so many things that we can disagree on.

We have so many things that oh I can have this opinion, you can have this opinion and RPMs don't match.

So now we're in conflict.

And it's been such an overwhelming opportunity to become disagreeable with one another in the natural part of being in disagreement with somebody is separation, that's the natural occurrence.

And actual thing that we want to do So when God kind of brought that to light for me, he said he wants us to focus on a church as a church.

I'm becoming one body.

Where we don't just gather on Sunday mornings, to hear some music, and sing some songs in the in here.

Someone preach.

But we actually become a community like God intended from the very beginning.

A community of like-minded, Believers that support one, another encourage one, another build up.

One another pray for one another.

if you get a clue on where this series is going, It's the one another's of scripture.

Is he God knew?

That the way he was going to build his kingdom on the Earth.

What's through relationships?

It was through building up one another and encouraging one another.

Now, I just want to remind you something I shared with you a while back, but actually before we even get into this, I just really feel we need to thank God for unanswered prayers.

I don't know how many of you have been watching the news on what's going over in the Ukraine.

But ever since the Russians invaded Ukraine, I've had One Singular prayer that I prayed over and over again.

And I pray, God.

Have the Russian shoulders, drop their weapons, turn around and run home.

I love you sound like a silly prayer.

That may sound like an impossible for But I'll tell you, that's exactly what is happening right now. this last week, it's in the tens of thousands of soldiers who have laid down their weapons and I'm not just talking handguns, I'm talking tanks, Turn around walked over to the Ukraine and said, take us captive.

That's a God thing.

That's how God is working when we got to recognize what God is doing in these situations.

And we got to realize that you and I have the ability to change world events.

and we do it through our prayers and sometimes we pray prayers that we don't see the answer to But I want to guarantee you that every single one of those prayers are heard and brought forward.

Hey man.

So God is good.

All right, so can I getting back to this?

I shared this with you near the beginning of the covid.

Lockdown.

That God gave me a vision.

And he showed me in this Vision.

It was, it was like a circle of water, buffalo.

I don't know how many of you have seen water buffalo.

They're pretty cool.

But you showed me, all these Buffalo that were in a circle and that in the middle of the circle, we're kind of the week and the elderly, and they're really young and it was just set up like in Nature's.

There's a photo.

Can you put that up there for the guys?

Every word is he No, that one be moving.

That's the title.

There you go.

So you see that the water buffalo in the young, what is in the center?

And this is their natural way of protecting.

And this is how God showed started with this image in my mind.

And you showed me, this is for my protection.

But then, the next episode is it all the water buffalo on the outside walked away and started doing their own thing, and left the ones in the center open.

Pray For The Lion who's walking around searching for who he could destroy.

And in this Vision, God showed me how the enemy went after those in the center and it was devastating, it was it was a brutal and at the time I got, how do we, how do we stop this?

How do we deal with this?

I I feel like I failed over the last two years, I really do.

I feel that I should have done more I don't know what I could have done more.

but I feel that we as a people who know the truth, All work, intense to go back and hide in our own spaces while the people around us were dying.

And I'm not talking about the physical death, I'm not talking like death from virus on, I'm talking about spiritual, and psychological, and emotional.

You see the stats of come out.

And people are feeling more isolated now than ever before.

Ever before in history, more people are feeling isolated and alone.

And this comes in an area where are aware?

We have more technology to communicate with one another than we've ever had before.

All right, that we are talking with her, our kids about how it wasn't too long ago, like, when our kids were born Shirley and I never had cell phones.
