- 0:04Speaker 1: at his time, right now for today's word. Don't miss
- 0:09Speaker 1: your moment. Don't miss your moment. Matthew twenty six, fourteen
- 0:15Speaker 1: fifteen says. Then one of the twelve, the one called
- 0:19Speaker 1: Judas Is Scariot, went to the chief priest and asked,
- 0:24Speaker 1: what are you willing to give me if I deliver
- 0:26Speaker 1: him over to you? You know, the Wednesday of Holy Week,
- 0:30Speaker 1: often called Spy Wednesday, is a sobering reminder of how
- 0:35Speaker 1: easy it is to be close to something sacred and
- 0:39Speaker 1: still miss the true significance. Judas Is Scariot walk with Jesus.
- 0:45Speaker 1: He witnessed miracles, heard life changing teachings, experience the presence
- 0:51Speaker 1: of God first hand. Yet despite all of that, something
- 0:56Speaker 1: in his heart began to drift. And it didn't happen
- 1:00Speaker 1: all at once, y'all. It was gradual, subtle, a series
- 1:03Speaker 1: of small compromises, a shift in focus, a quiet opening
- 1:08Speaker 1: to temptation, until one day he made a decision that
- 1:12Speaker 1: would change everything. Y'all. That's a warning for each one
- 1:17Speaker 1: of us, because it's not just about proximity, it's about posture.
- 1:22Speaker 1: You can sit in church every week. You can hear
- 1:26Speaker 1: the word on a regular basis. You can be surrounded
- 1:30Speaker 1: by faith filled people and still allow distractions, disappointments, offenses,
- 1:35Speaker 1: and personal desires to slowly pull you away from God's
- 1:39Speaker 1: best for your life. The enemy rarely pulls you out
- 1:44Speaker 1: all at once. He works in small moments, moments where
- 1:47Speaker 1: you choose convenience over conviction, comfort over calling, temporary gain
- 1:53Speaker 1: over eternal purpose, and before you know it, you're drifting.
- 2:00Speaker 1: So the question becomes, what are you trading? Are you
- 2:03Speaker 1: trading peace for pressure, purpose for popularity, calling for comfort?
- 2:10Speaker 1: Judas trade is something eternal for something temporary. And he
- 2:15Speaker 1: missed his moment. But here's the good news. You don't
- 2:19Speaker 1: have to Right now. Today is your moment to realign.
- 2:24Speaker 1: No matter how far you feel you've drifted, God is
- 2:27Speaker 1: still speaking, He's still drawing you, he's still extending grace.
- 2:31Speaker 1: He hasn't changed his mind about you, He hasn't canceled
- 2:35Speaker 1: your purpose. All he's asking is that you come back
- 2:40Speaker 1: into alignment. Don't let distractions know your discernment, don't let
- 2:44Speaker 1: disappointment harden your heart. Don't let temporary emotions lead to
- 2:49Speaker 1: permanent decisions. Instead you stay close, stay aware, stay surrendered,
- 2:55Speaker 1: be intentional about protecting your relationship with God. God your
- 3:00Speaker 1: pay attention to what you're feeding your spirit, and then
- 3:04Speaker 1: choose daily to walk in alignment with God's will for
- 3:07Speaker 1: your life. This Holy Week, I want you to make
- 3:11Speaker 1: a decision. I won't miss my moment. I won't trade
- 3:15Speaker 1: what's sacred for what's temporary. I choose purpose over pressure,
- 3:19Speaker 1: calling over comfort, in God's will over my own, because
- 3:23Speaker 1: the moments that matter most are often the ones that
- 3:25Speaker 1: require the greatest discernment. Father, thank you for your grace
- 3:29Speaker 1: that continues to call us back to you even when
- 3:32Speaker 1: we drift. God, you are still faithful. Help us to
- 3:35Speaker 1: stay alert, to guard our hearts, and to recognize the
- 3:38Speaker 1: moments that matter most. God give us the strength to
- 3:41Speaker 1: choose what's right over what's easy. Yeah, God, I declare, Father, God,
- 3:46Speaker 1: that I will not miss what You're doing in my life. God,
- 3:49Speaker 1: we choose to stay close, faithful, and surrender to you
