  Speaker 1: Good morning y'all.
• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm here to encourage all of us, those of us who are kind of ready to turn the page dust off our feet from the week we just had.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: So I don't know about y'all, but it was a rough week for me, but it was kind of ups and downs.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had one of those weeks where some days are great and the other days are just like what in the tarnation is going on?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Um, I was in matthew 10, matthew 10, chapter 10.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Matthew 10, verse 13 and 14 y'all.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'm still getting up and I wanted to read this.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: This is when jesus sends out the 12 apostles and he gives them their assignments and so he talks to them about where they should go and how they should respond to the environments that they're moving into, that they're going into.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: In verse five it talks about looking at my Bible y'all, where it talks about instructing them, telling them to go.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You know where to go, enter no town of Samaritans and proclaim as you go, saying the kingdom of heaven is in his hand.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: He's even giving them what to say, the words that they should say.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: He talks about them doing the actions of healing the sick and raising the dead and cleanse lepers and cast out demons, all those things Tells them not to take any money because he doesn't want them to be corrupted by that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Focus on the work, right.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And then he said whatever town in verse 11 or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So he's even showing them you know where, who you need to be connected to, right, find out who is worthy and stay there until you depart.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And as you enter a house, the mannerisms you greeted.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Now we come to verse 13 and it says and if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, and if it's not worthy, let your peace comes to you.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you, holy Spirit, for helping us today.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Give us wisdom so that we can all understand what this means for us individually in our lives.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So, as I was sitting here thinking about what it means for my peace to come upon me and it is something that I also give the spirit of peace right, so, in order for you to find peace in this week that you've come out of, I'm encouraging us to turn the page.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You have to be able to let go and shake off the negative things that happen, the bad things that happen.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: At some point you have to be able to turn the page from that or you're gonna end up dragging that carcass into your next week, your next month and your next year.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Now, when it talks about let your peace come upon it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But if it's not worthy, let your peace return to you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I even encourage you to pray Lord, give me peace in this situation.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You know the word says peace.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That passeth all understanding.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you something Again.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It was one of them.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Weeks y'all.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: It was just crazy, people were just crazy, it was all kinds of things, but I still had joy and peace.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It was all kinds of things, but I still had joy and peace.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I had peace because I was turning over situations to God to say Lord, you're my father, you know what's going on, you know what's going on with people, you know what's going on with these situations.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Give me peace.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Give me peace in my decisions, give me peace where I go.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Let me be peace when I enter into a conversation, y'all.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It is next level praying, but it's so important that if you are here, we are on Saturday, the week, for the most part, is over and what we can't do is bring the chaos and crazy of what might've happened through Monday through Friday, especially on the job, into your, into your Saturday and Sunday, into your weekend.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So, finding peace, dusting off your feet, you know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You know, again, you've got to, you've got to learn how to let these things go and again, this is something that I have to learn.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're like me, like sometimes I'm thinking about you know, I'm running the messages, I'm running the conversations through my mind.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'm having a whole like playlist in my head about what I could have said and what she did and what he said.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I do that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But at the end of all that, I close that door and I say, lord, you know, you know what happened.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Give me peace in this situation, lord.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I want to turn the page.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go y'all.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: We can't go into Monday morning.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We can't go into tomorrow morning carrying the baggage of what might've happened this week.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So if your supervisor made you mad, or your colleagues made you mad, or your spouses made you mad or your kids drove you crazy, right.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: If your relatives got on your nerves.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: If you're disappointed at church, whatever it is, or whatever it is that was causing chaos, or maybe you were disappointed this week let today be the day that you turn the page.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Let today be the day that you turn the page on whatever happened this week.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I hope this encourage you because, listen, we're about to go into a new month of September, okay, and we are not carrying dead things from August, things that don't work for us, things that harm us, relationships that that are not good for us, experiences that burn us.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not bringing any of that stuff into September.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Let's just declare that for real.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So, as we are preparing for September, we want to be in a renewed mindset, we want to be rejuvenated, we want to be, you know, we want to again, we want to.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Some of us have to start over, and that's okay if you got to start over, but we're not going to drag the stuff from August into September.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: So you have to learn how to turn the page.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Dust off your feet, amen.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And again it says let your peace return to you.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So, lord, I pray for every person under the sound of my voice that their peace will return to them, regardless of what started it?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Who started it?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Who said it?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Who done what?
