  Speaker 2: will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: us this new morning and for getting us so far
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: into our work week. Thank you for loving us so
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: much that you have given us so many case studies
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: in the scripture, so many opportunity unities to see how
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you love us and what you desire to do in
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: our lives. Help us to be responsive and to be transformed.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray a man and a man
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: again the song of my Beloved. Okay, So, sometimes God
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: does not get what he desires. I need you to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: just slow down in your thinking before you before you
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: criticize what you heard me say. I know how it
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: feels to hear that. But sometimes God does not get
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: what he desires. And so the great, big, looming or
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: overarching question this morning is will he get from you?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Will he get from me what he desires. Okay, let
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: me say the first thing again. Sometimes God does not
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: get what he desires in our lives. Okay. I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: it's starting to click in your mind. And so we
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: are going to begin by reading in the Bible Book
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of Isaiah Isaiah chapter five, and I will read, beginning
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: at verse one, I will sing to my love a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: song about my loved ones vineyard. My love had a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: vineyard on a fertile hill. He built a hedge around it,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: removed its stones, and planted a vine. He built a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: tower in the middle of it and constructed a wine press.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: He waited for it to produce edible grapes. But guess
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: what happened after all of that protection, the hedge around it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Huh that all of that protection, the stones around it,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: after all of that protection and oversight, the tower in
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the middle of it, and all of that oversight where
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: he was preparing for the best use of these grapes,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Guess what happened? But it produced sour ones instead. That
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: means that the grapes were not even edible. The intent
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: for the grapes was not realized. I think you're starting
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to kind of get the point verse three. So now
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: residents of Jerusalem, let's just say God's people. Can we
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: just say it that way? Because God is responding to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: God's to his people. So now God's people or residence
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of Jerusalem, people of Judah, God's people. You decide between
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: me and my vineyard verse four? What more? What more
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: can I do for my vineyard beyond what I have
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: already done? When I waited for it to produce edible grapes?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Why did it produce sour ones uns instead? Mmmm? This
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: is heavy, y'all. Listen, listen. It looks like God is
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: getting is wanting some advice. Maybe that's not the right
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: way of saying it, but we are in control of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: how we respond to God, and he is laying it
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: out in the open, like, what more can I do
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: for my people so that my people produce that which
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I have created them to produce? And so we're gonna
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: analyze this just a little bit. The speaker is Isaiah
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: speaking prophetically for God. The subject is God's relationship with
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: his people. In that case, it would have been Israel.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: And then we see represented the vineyard Israel or God's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: chosen people, and of course the owner of the vineyard
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that's God the owner's action. And I already mentioned it
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to you, but let me say it again slowly. He
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: first chows fertile ground. I left that part out a
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: moment ago. Then he built a protective head. Then he
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: cleared the stones. Then he planted choice vines. You brother,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and you sister, are choice vines. He built the watchtower,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: he made the wine press. But the result was not
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: what God desired. He expected good grapes because he did
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: everything in order for us to produce, God's people to produce,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: but instead received wild or sour grapes. Also, God's care
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and investment did not produce the desired fruit. Sh that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: is heavy, brothers and sisters. The God of the universe,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the one who created us, the one who said, let
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: there be light, and there was light. The one who
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: commanded and it stood fast. The one who said to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the air to bring forth all of the winged creatures,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the one who said to the land to bring forth
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: all of the four footed beasts and other beasts, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the creep bringing things that creep upon the earth. The
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: one who said that the water should be full of
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: all of the creatures that passed through the waters. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: then he said to the waters. This is how far
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: you will go, and know farther you will not overflow
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: your boundaries. This is as far as you're going, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that after that He created humankind, but humankind decided at
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: some point to turn against God. So how is it
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that sometimes God does not get what he desires in
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: our lives? Well, we have talked about this before. It's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the power of choice, the power of choice, and some
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: people have chosen to go the wrong way. What an
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: interesting reality. And so what we want to do now
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: is to give God what he desires. And I'm going
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to give us, not just you. I'm going to give
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: us some tips, some reminders about how God can get
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the fruitfulness out of our lives that he has invested.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Number One, study his word. And there are some examples
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of people who did it in the right way in Acts,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: chapter seventeen and verse eleven. Those were more noble than
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: those in Thessalonaika in that they receive the word of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: God with all readiness of mind? Do you receive the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: word of God with all readiness of mine? And search
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the scriptures daily? Whether those things were so? Speaking of
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the Brians in the days of the Apostles of course.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Another example is to submit to the spirit. The Holy
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Spirit's leading Galatians five and verse sixteen says this, I say,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: then walk in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: bill the lust of the flesh. And I'm not going
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to read the passages from here on, but I'll give
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you the tips. Maintain a regular prayer life from first
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Thessalonians chapter five, verses seventeen and eighteen. Accept trials when
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: they do come as an opportunity for growth in First
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Peter chapter one and verse seven, and then engage in
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: fellowship with other believers Hebrews chapter ten and verse twenty five.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Claim God's promises Joshua chapter twenty one and verse forty five,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and finally trust trust God's intercession through Christ Romans eighth
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and verse thirty four. Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris, make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
