Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

- 1:52Speaker 2: This is where you promised you would come into our
- 1:55Speaker 2: midst because there are more many, more than two or three,
- 1:58Speaker 2: gathered together in your no. I pray God that we
- 2:01Speaker 2: will we will yield our will to you like Jesus
- 2:04Speaker 2: yielded his will in get semony. In Jesus name, I
- 2:08Speaker 2: pray amen and Amen again. This is good. This is
- 2:13Speaker 2: good get semny. God is teaching us something, okay, and
- 2:17Speaker 2: so we are continuing. I did start the discussion, but
- 2:20Speaker 2: we are continuing now. The discussion. In Mark chapter fourteen,
- 2:24Speaker 2: beginning at verse thirty two, and the Bible reads, and
- 2:27Speaker 2: they came to a place which was named Getsemeny. So
- 2:31Speaker 2: Jesus is going through some challenges in his mind and
- 2:37Speaker 2: get Sementy. We're going to see about this. I think
- 2:40Speaker 2: it was Sabbath that we kind of talked about it
- 2:43Speaker 2: a little bit, but we're really going to drill it
- 2:45Speaker 2: now and see what led to this point. And they
- 2:49Speaker 2: came to a place which was named Getsemeny, and he
- 2:52Speaker 2: set unto his disciples, sit ye here while I pray,
- 2:56Speaker 2: Sit ye here while I pray. Now people should have
- 3:00Speaker 2: seen that as a sign that they should be praying, too. Right,
- 3:04Speaker 2: they are following in Jesus's footsteps. So when Jesus is
- 3:08Speaker 2: giving us an example, the Bible says that we now
- 3:11Speaker 2: can and will and must follow in his footsteps if
- 3:14Speaker 2: we are called his disciples. But those disciples didn't do it.
- 3:19Speaker 2: They didn't do it. And the Bible says, here and
- 3:22Speaker 2: he taketh with him these three closer friends, Peter and
- 3:26Speaker 2: James and John, and began to be so amazed and
- 3:30Speaker 2: to be heavy, And he said, unto them, my soul
- 3:33Speaker 2: is exceeding sorrowful now Jesus is being vulnerable toward these men,
- 3:38Speaker 2: these friends, these disciples. He's being vulnerable. He's saying that
- 3:41Speaker 2: he is sorrowful, he is heavy unto death. Tarry ye, hear,
- 3:47Speaker 2: and watch your friend, your master, your savior, All of
- 3:52Speaker 2: this in one Jesus is showing you that he needs you.
- 3:57Speaker 2: But what are you going to do in response? They're
- 3:59Speaker 2: time that even though now we see Jesus is glorified,
- 4:02Speaker 2: he is no longer down here living under the limitations
- 4:07Speaker 2: of humanity, even though he has carried some aspects of
- 4:11Speaker 2: humanity into the heavenlyes until this day. But he is
- 4:14Speaker 2: no longer bound by hunger or sorrow or thirst or
- 4:19Speaker 2: those things I shouldn't say bound, but subject to any
- 4:22Speaker 2: of those things, because he has completed his work down
- 4:25Speaker 2: here at least, down here at least. But we even
- 4:29Speaker 2: still there are things that are on God's mind. And
- 4:33Speaker 2: when he shares those things, his love for people, his
- 4:37Speaker 2: desire to save those people, his compassion for people. We
- 4:40Speaker 2: should be entering into that journey with him so that
- 4:46Speaker 2: we can be of service to the people that matter
- 4:48Speaker 2: to him. For the things that matter to him, he says,
- 4:52Speaker 2: tarry ye here and watch are you tarrying and watching
- 4:56Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, and the Bible continues verse thirty five.
- 4:59Speaker 2: And he went far forward a little and fell on
- 5:01Speaker 2: the ground. It wasn't that he was doing it for effect.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Nobody was playing the ham and B three organ. Nobody
- 5:07Speaker 2: slapped him in his forehead. Nobody said some rhythmic words,
- 5:10Speaker 2: and then he started shaking and quaking and dropped to
- 5:13Speaker 2: the ground. He dropped to the ground because he was heavy,
- 5:16Speaker 2: he was burdened, He was sorrowful, even to the point
- 5:19Speaker 2: of death. And so he falls to the ground and
- 5:22Speaker 2: prayed that if it were possible, have you ever fallen
- 5:26Speaker 2: to the ground in sorrow, fall into the ground in
- 5:30Speaker 2: submission to God's will, fallen to the ground because you
- 5:34Speaker 2: know your need for God? And he says, he prays,
- 5:38Speaker 2: if it were possible, that hour might pass from him.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Have you asked God to take away your burden? Take
- 5:47Speaker 2: away your trial, take away the difficulty that is facing you.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Take away the fact that you don't have as much
- 5:53Speaker 2: money as you need. There's more month than money. Take
- 5:56Speaker 2: away the trials that you're going through in your marriage.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Have you ever asked God to take away that cancer
- 6:02Speaker 2: that is eating your flesh at this very moment, and
- 6:05Speaker 2: you're wondering if God is listening. Have you ever been
- 6:08Speaker 2: in a situation when you ask God to please, can
- 6:11Speaker 2: you do something for me, if it's possible, if it's possible,
- 6:17Speaker 2: take it away? And he said verse thirty six, ah Ba, Father,
- 6:21Speaker 2: all things are possible. You see, he said, if it's possible,
- 6:25Speaker 2: will you take it away? And then he says with you,
- 6:27Speaker 2: all things are possible. We didn't say that last Sabbath.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Ah all things are possible. I know that you can
- 6:33Speaker 2: do this, take it away, take this cup from me.
- 6:37Speaker 2: But if I'm missing something in this scenario, Father, Ahba,
- 6:41Speaker 2: if I'm missing something in this scenario where I'm going
- 6:44Speaker 2: to have to go through this financial burden and trial
- 6:47Speaker 2: for the moment, I'm gonna have to go through the
- 6:49Speaker 2: loss of someone who's very close to me. I'm gonna
- 6:52Speaker 2: have to go through the pain of this injury. I'm
- 6:54Speaker 2: gonna have to go through the trial of working with
- 6:57Speaker 2: church people who seem not to be connected with God.
- 7:01Speaker 2: And I'm wondering every day, what in the world am
- 7:03Speaker 2: I doing here? What am I doing here in this
- 7:06Speaker 2: situation when we're all supposed to be pressing together, pressing together,
- 7:10Speaker 2: pressing together. If you could let this cut pass from me, Father,
- 7:14Speaker 2: please do so. Nevertheless, Father, not what I will, because
- 7:21Speaker 2: there are times that you're doing things, Father that I
- 7:24Speaker 2: don't understand. Nevertheless, Father, not as I will. There are
- 7:28Speaker 2: times that you are perfecting my character. Talking about me, now, y'all,
- 7:32Speaker 2: you should be talking about you. Nevertheless, you are using
- 7:36Speaker 2: my situation for others to see how they can overcome
- 7:40Speaker 2: to because you trust me, like Job. You trust me
- 7:43Speaker 2: like David when he was losing his son after he
- 7:46Speaker 2: had disobeyed God and had the Bethsheba and Uriah incident. Nevertheless,
- 7:51Speaker 2: not what I will, but what thou wilt. And he
- 7:56Speaker 2: cometh and findeth them sleeping. And they should have been
- 7:58Speaker 2: watching and praying when they should have been holding him up,
- 8:01Speaker 2: when they should have been supporting Jesus, when they should
- 8:04Speaker 2: have been counting the cost of him losing faith, the
- 8:08Speaker 2: counting the cost of him failing at his mission, counting
- 8:11Speaker 2: the cost like if Jesus breaks, we're all dead, and
- 8:14Speaker 2: everybody who's ever lived or ever will live, is dead.
- 8:18Speaker 2: They did not count the cost. He came and he
- 8:20Speaker 2: found them sleeping, and he said unto to Peter Simon,
- 8:25Speaker 2: sleepest thou it's incredulous. Sleepest thou couldest thou not watch
- 8:30Speaker 2: one hour? What is one hour when all of humanity
- 8:34Speaker 2: is hanging in the balance. What is one hour when
- 8:36Speaker 2: your friend, who is also your savior and your creator
- 8:40Speaker 2: in his humanity, is weakening, he's having difficulty. You're not there.
- 8:47Speaker 2: You can't pray just for an hour, Peter, not one hour?
- 8:51Speaker 2: Watch ye and pray lets ye. Now Jesus puts it
- 8:54Speaker 2: on them, enter into temptation. The spirit is truly ready.
- 8:58Speaker 2: But the flesh, yes, you talk a good gang, Peter.
- 9:02Speaker 2: You said you won't deny me. You talk a good game.
- 9:05Speaker 2: You stand there with your sword. I'm seeing into the future.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Now ah, you say with your mouth all of the
- 9:11Speaker 2: right things, But your flesh is actually weak Verse thirty nine.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And again he went away and prayed and spake the
- 9:18Speaker 2: same words. And when he had returned, he found them
- 9:20Speaker 2: all asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. Sometimes the
- 9:24Speaker 2: devil will fan you to sleep. Brothers and sisters wake up.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Neither wish they what to answer him. And he came
- 9:32Speaker 2: a third time and says, sleep on. Now take your rest.
- 9:35Speaker 2: It is enough. The hour is come. The son of
- 9:39Speaker 2: Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
- 9:43Speaker 1: What would have been your response? Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
- 9:50Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
- 9:53Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
- 9:57Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
