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