Christine Caine | The Best Work Part 1 | June 8, 2022

- SEE WHAT WE DO IS GO, NO, WHAT'S GONNA BE MY JOB
00:00:00.156 --> 00:00:03.059
AND DOES THAT FIT IN WITH MY GIFT MIX?
00:00:03.059 --> 00:00:05.595
AND IS THAT MY PERSONALITY PROFILE?
00:00:05.595 --> 00:00:08.898
AND HOW MANY DAYS OFF AM I GONNA GET?
00:00:08.898 --> 00:00:11.367
AND I NEED TO HAVE BALANCE AND I NEED TO BE,
00:00:11.367 --> 00:00:15.438
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THOSE DAY LABORERS?
00:00:15.438 --> 00:00:17.006
THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY OF THAT.
00:00:17.006 --> 00:00:18.308
THEY JUST JUMP IN ON THE TRUCK GOING AWESOME,
00:00:18.308 --> 00:00:20.410
I'VE GOT A JOB.
00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:21.411
I'M SO EXCITED.
00:00:21.411 --> 00:00:22.745
AND WE NEED TO BE A GROUP OF CHRISTIANS
00:00:22.745 --> 00:00:24.848
THAT GET UP EVERY DAY AND GO FATHER,
00:00:24.848 --> 00:00:26.549
I WANNA BE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS TODAY.
00:00:26.549 --> 00:00:28.651
I'M TURNING UP AND I'M A DAY LABORER.
00:00:28.651 --> 00:00:30.587
FOR YOU, I'M A DAY WORKER, FOR YOU.
00:00:30.587 --> 00:00:32.689
I WANNA BE ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS.
00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:34.858
IT WOULD CHANGE SO MUCH.
00:00:34.858 --> 00:00:38.728
WE'VE ALL HAD THOSE MORNINGS
00:00:38.728 --> 00:00:39.863
WHEN WE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GET OUT OF BED
00:00:39.863 --> 00:00:41.931
OR FACE THE WORK THAT'S ON OUR PLATE THAT DAY.
00:00:41.931 --> 00:00:44.200
BUT THE TRUTH IS, YOU HAVE AN IMPORTANT PART TO PLAY
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.303
IN THIS WORLD.
00:00:47.303 --> 00:00:48.371
AND IF YOU DON'T GET OUT THERE AND DO YOUR PART
00:00:48.371 --> 00:00:50.306
SOMETHING IMPORTANT WILL BE MISSING FROM THIS WORLD.
00:00:50.306 --> 00:00:53.343
I'M CHRISTINE CAINE AND I HAVE A PERSONAL MISSION
00:00:53.343 --> 00:00:56.346
TO EQUIP AND EMPOWER PEOPLE LIKE YOU
00:00:56.346 --> 00:00:58.481
TO CONNECT WITH YOUR GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE AND POTENTIAL.
00:00:58.481 --> 00:01:01.184
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE JOINING US TODAY.
00:01:01.184 --> 00:01:03.253
LET'S GET RIGHT INTO THE MESSAGE.
00:01:03.253 --> 00:01:05.588
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
00:01:05.588 --> 00:01:16.366
HEY, EVERYONE.
00:01:16.366 --> 00:01:17.667
I AM SO EXCITED TO BE WITH YOU TODAY.
00:01:17.667 --> 00:01:21.271
I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU TUNED IN.
00:01:21.271 --> 00:01:22.939
I KNOW THAT GOD HAS GOT A POWERFUL WORD FOR YOU TODAY.
00:01:22.939 --> 00:01:26.176
YOU KNOW WE MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES SEVERAL YEARS AGO
00:01:26.176 --> 00:01:29.946
AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS JOINED THE US MARINE CORPS.
00:01:29.946 --> 00:01:33.950
AND IT WAS AWESOME BECAUSE
00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:35.919
HE TURNED UP IN THIS T-SHIRT.
00:01:35.919 --> 00:01:37.921
AND THE T-SHIRT SAID, AND YOU COULD SEE IT RIGHT NOW,
00:01:37.921 --> 00:01:41.090
IT SAID, NO ONE EVER DROWNED IN SWEAT.
00:01:41.090 --> 00:01:44.327
AND I REMEMBER WHEN I SAW IT, I BURST OUT LAUGHING.
00:01:44.327 --> 00:01:48.031
BECAUSE I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S PRETTY TRUE.
00:01:48.031 --> 00:01:50.333
I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THAT EVER DROWNED
00:01:50.333 --> 00:01:51.901
IN A POOL OF THEIR OWN SWEAT.
00:01:51.901 --> 00:01:54.037
AND I THOUGHT WHAT A GREAT ETHIC.
00:01:54.037 --> 00:01:56.639
WHAT A GREAT WORK ETHIC THAT IT MEANS, YOU KNOW WHAT
00:01:56.639 --> 00:01:58.975
YOU'RE GONNA SWEAT, IT'S GONNA HURT,
00:01:58.975 --> 00:02:00.476
BUT IT'S WORTHWHILE.
00:02:00.476 --> 00:02:01.978
NO ONE EVER DIED FROM HARD WORK.
00:02:01.978 --> 00:02:04.247
NOW I'M GREEK, AND SO
00:02:04.247 --> 00:02:06.449
GREEKS BY AND LARGE, HAVE NOT YET HAD THIS REVELATION
00:02:06.449 --> 00:02:11.221
THAT NO ONE EVER DROWNED IN SWEAT.
00:02:11.221 --> 00:02:13.289
LET ME EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU.
00:02:13.289 --> 00:02:15.525
YOU KNOW, GREEKS LOVE THEIR SIESTA.
00:02:15.525 --> 00:02:17.660
THEY LOVE A FEW HOURS OF SLEEP IN THE AFTERNOON.
00:02:17.660 --> 00:02:20.697
AND I REMEMBER GOING OVER THERE
00:02:20.697 --> 00:02:22.932
AND OF COURSE WE HAVE OUR A21 HEADQUARTERS
00:02:22.932 --> 00:02:24.934
IN THESSALONIKI, GREECE.
00:02:24.934 --> 00:02:26.502
AND THERE IS A REASON WHY THE COUNTRY
00:02:26.502 --> 00:02:29.739
WAS IN ECONOMIC BANKRUPTCY.
00:02:29.739 --> 00:02:32.475
AND I LOVE GREECE, YOU ALL KNOW THAT.
00:02:32.475 --> 00:02:33.509
AND I KNOW THE GREEK PEOPLE WATCHING THIS,
00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:35.445
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND FETA CHEESE AND TARAMOSALATA.
00:02:35.445 --> 00:02:37.981
SO THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.
00:02:37.981 --> 00:02:39.349
BUT TRUTH IS TRUTH.
00:02:39.349 --> 00:02:40.583
I REMEMBER HAVING CONVERSATIONS
00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:41.684
WITH MY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
00:02:41.684 --> 00:02:43.419
AND THEY'D BE, "OH, CHRISTINE, YOU KNOW
00:02:43.419 --> 00:02:46.189
"WE DON'T WANNA WORK AS HARD AS YOU DO IN AUSTRALIA
00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:49.259
"OR IN AMERICA.
00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:50.159
"WE LIKE TO HAVE SEVERAL HOURS OFF
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.295
"TO HAVE A SLEEP IN THE AFTERNOON
00:02:52.295 --> 00:02:54.364
"AND THE WE LIKE TO GO OUT REALLY LATE."
00:02:54.364 --> 00:02:56.532
AND I'M LIKE, SO WOULD WE.
00:02:56.532 --> 00:02:58.001
SO THERE'S NO ISSUE.
00:02:58.001 --> 00:02:59.902
WHO WOULDN'T LIKE TO NOT HAVE TO WORK A WHOLE LOT?
00:02:59.902 --> 00:03:01.938
BUT I SAID, THERE IS A GENERAL RULE IN THE BIBLE
00:03:01.938 --> 00:03:04.841
IT'S CALLED, IF YOU DON'T WORK, YOU DON'T EAT.
00:03:04.841 --> 00:03:07.477
AND THAT'S RIGHT. AND THEY'RE LIKE, "NO, NO, NO.
00:03:07.477 --> 00:03:09.646
"WE WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO PROVIDE FOR US."
00:03:09.646 --> 00:03:11.414
WELL THERE IS A REASON WHY THE ECONOMIC CRISIS HAPPENED
00:03:11.414 --> 00:03:14.851
IN THAT COUNTRY.
00:03:14.851 --> 00:03:16.119
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT THE BENEFITS OF WORK
00:03:16.119 --> 00:03:19.255
WITHOUT DOING THE WORK.
00:03:19.255 --> 00:03:20.723
BUT THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU CAN HAVE THAT,
00:03:20.723 --> 00:03:24.027
AND NOT ONLY THAT, WE AS HUMANS WERE DESIGNED TO WORK.
00:03:24.027 --> 00:03:27.530
WE WERE DESIGNED TO FLOURISH.
00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:29.399
WE WERE DESIGNED TO DO GOOD WORKS.
00:03:29.399 --> 00:03:31.467
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU THAT FROM SCRIPTURE.
00:03:31.467 --> 00:03:33.136
BY THE END OF THIS SERIES, I WANT YOU TO BE EXCITED
00:03:33.136 --> 00:03:35.872
TO DO THE THING THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO.
00:03:35.872 --> 00:03:38.474
PEOPLE GO, "YOU KNOW CHRISTINE,
00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:39.776
"HOW DO SO MUCH WITH PROPEL OR WITH A21?
00:03:39.776 --> 00:03:42.945
"OR THE BOOKS AND ALL THE TRAVELING."
00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:45.248
I GO, WELL IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK.
00:03:45.248 --> 00:03:47.450
YOU KNOW, I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOU
00:03:47.450 --> 00:03:49.185
THAT THE ANGELS JUST COME
00:03:49.185 --> 00:03:50.486
AND DO ALL THE WASHING ON MY BEHALF,
00:03:50.486 --> 00:03:52.188
BUT IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN LIKE THAT.
00:03:52.188 --> 00:03:54.324
AND YOU CANNOT HAVE THE BENEFITS OF WORK
00:03:54.324 --> 00:03:56.526
WITHOUT DOING THE INPUT OF WORK.
00:03:56.526 --> 00:03:58.461
AND SO I THINK IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
00:03:58.461 --> 00:04:01.064
I WANT TO CHALLENGE US TO STEP UP AND INTO
00:04:01.064 --> 00:04:05.468
ALL IT IS THAT GOD HAS FOR US.
00:04:05.468 --> 00:04:07.236
AND YOU KNOW AT EVERY SEASON OF MY LIFE,
00:04:07.236 --> 00:04:09.872
WHEN I STARTED AND I WAS THE DIRECTOR OF A YOUTH CENTER,
00:04:09.872 --> 00:04:12.108
THEN I BECAME THE DIRECTOR OF A YOUTH MOVEMENT,
00:04:12.108 --> 00:04:14.510
THEN I STARTED TRAVELING AND TEACHING.
00:04:14.510 --> 00:04:16.913
AND THEN WE STARTED A21.
00:04:16.913 --> 00:04:18.648
AND THEN AT 48 I STARTED PROPEL.
00:04:18.648 --> 00:04:20.283
AND THEN AT 50, I STARTED DOING TV.
00:04:20.283 --> 00:04:22.952
WELL, ALL OF IT IS AWESOME
00:04:22.952 --> 00:04:25.922
AND IT'S THE WILL OF GOD AND THE PURPOSE OF GOD.
00:04:25.922 --> 00:04:28.324
AND GOD PLANNED IT FOR MY LIFE,
00:04:28.324 --> 00:04:30.360
BUT IT WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF I DIDN'T COMMIT TO WORK.
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.630
AND SO I WANNA ENCOURAGE SOME OF US TODAY
00:04:34.630 --> 00:04:37.500
THAT THERE IS SO MUCH THAT GOD WANTS TO DO
00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:39.602
IN AND THROUGH YOUR LIFE.
00:04:39.602 --> 00:04:41.170
BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA DO IT,
00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:42.472
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL GET TO WORK.
00:04:42.472 --> 00:04:44.107
NOW APPARENTLY, IT'S NOT JUST THE GREEKS
00:04:44.107 --> 00:04:47.744
THAT DO NOT WANT TO RISE UP AND GO TO WORK.
00:04:47.744 --> 00:04:51.280
I WOULD GO IN THE MIDDLE OF ATHENS
00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:53.249
AND I FREQUENTLY OBVIOUSLY, GO TO GREECE SO MUCH
00:04:53.249 --> 00:04:55.685
FOR OUR WORK WITH A21
00:04:55.685 --> 00:04:57.286
AND BECAUSE I LOVE FETA CHEESE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN.
00:04:57.286 --> 00:04:59.756
OKAY, IT'S ALL TRUE. AND SO,
00:04:59.756 --> 00:05:02.091
AND I SEE SO MANY BUILDING PROJECTS
00:05:02.091 --> 00:05:05.194
OR BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT FINISHED.
00:05:05.194 --> 00:05:07.397
AND THE MAIN REASON IS BECAUSE
00:05:07.397 --> 00:05:09.265
PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANNA WORK.
00:05:09.265 --> 00:05:10.233
I MEAN THERE IS A FOOTBALL GAME HAPPENING.
00:05:10.233 --> 00:05:11.734
YOU COULD BE STANDING AT THE COUNTER
00:05:11.734 --> 00:05:13.970
WAITING FOR YOUR COFFEE
00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:15.304
FOR LIKE AN HOUR, AND HE'S JUST LOOKING AT YOU GOING,
00:05:15.304 --> 00:05:19.008
"AFTER THE FOOTBALL GAME."
00:05:19.008 --> 00:05:20.410
AND I'M LIKE, OKAY,
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:21.811
THIS IS APPARENTLY HOW WE DO BUSINESS OVER HERE.
00:05:21.811 --> 00:05:23.479
AND SO IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THAT,
00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:26.315
I THINK JESUS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM
00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:28.151
AS MANY MANY PEOPLE DID,
00:05:28.151 --> 00:05:30.853
MANY PEOPLE DO IN EUROPE.
00:05:30.853 --> 00:05:33.256
IF YOU GO WITH ME TODAY TO THE BOOK OF MATTHEW CHAPTER NINE
00:05:33.256 --> 00:05:36.993
IN VERSES 35.
00:05:36.993 --> 00:05:41.264
THE BIBLE SAYS, "AND JESUS WENT THROUGHOUT
00:05:41.264 --> 00:05:43.433
"ALL THE CITIES AND VILLAGES,
00:05:43.433 --> 00:05:45.101
"TEACHING IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES
00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:46.302
"AND PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
00:05:46.302 --> 00:05:48.271
"AND HEALING EVERY DISEASE AND EVERY AFFLICTION."
00:05:48.271 --> 00:05:51.374
I MEAN THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME.
00:05:51.374 --> 00:05:52.842
DID YOU SEE THAT THAT JESUS HEALED EVERY DISEASE
00:05:52.842 --> 00:05:55.812
AND EVERY AFFLICTION?
00:05:55.812 --> 00:05:57.113
I WANT YOU TO KNOW TODAY,
00:05:57.113 --> 00:05:58.548
THAT IT IS THE WILL OF GOD
00:05:58.548 --> 00:05:59.982
TO BRING HEALING INTO YOUR LIFE.
00:05:59.982 --> 00:06:02.785
IN FACT EVEN RIGHT NOW,
00:06:02.785 --> 00:06:04.387
AS THE WORD IS GONE FORTH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN.
00:06:04.387 --> 00:06:07.690
WHATEVER PART OF YOUR BODY IS FEELING LIKE
00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:11.160
HAS AN INFIRMITY,
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:12.595
PERHAPS YOU'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A SICKNESS,
00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:14.464
PERHAPS YOU'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH PNEUMONIA,
00:06:14.464 --> 00:06:16.866
PERHAPS THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN YOUR THROAT,
00:06:16.866 --> 00:06:20.136
I WANT YOU TO JUST PUT YOUR HAND ON THAT PART OF YOUR BODY
00:06:20.136 --> 00:06:22.638
BECAUSE IN THE SAME WAY I JUST BELIEVE RIGHT NOW
00:06:22.638 --> 00:06:24.740
THAT THERE'S AN ANOINTING ON THIS PROGRAM,
00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:26.442
IN THIS MOMENT FOR HEALING, FOR PHYSICAL HEALING
00:06:26.442 --> 00:06:30.179
IN YOUR BODY IN JESUS NAME.
00:06:30.179 --> 00:06:32.148
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS WALKED THROUGH THE TOWNS
00:06:32.148 --> 00:06:34.417
AND THE VILLAGES, AND THE SYNAGOGUES
00:06:34.417 --> 00:06:36.619
AND HE HEALED EVERY INFIRMITY AND EVERY AFFLICTION.
00:06:36.619 --> 00:06:40.223
SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.
00:06:40.223 --> 00:06:43.359
AND IT'S NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER
00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:44.894
BUT IT'S BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD.
00:06:44.894 --> 00:06:47.430
SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT JESUS STILL HEALS TODAY.
00:06:47.430 --> 00:06:50.433
AND IT'S THE WILL OF GOD TO BRING HEALING INTO YOUR BODY
00:06:50.433 --> 00:06:54.136
IN JESUS NAME.
00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.171
SO IT SAYS HE HEALED EVERY DISEASE
00:06:55.171 --> 00:06:57.006
AND EVERY AFFLICTION AND THEN IT GOES ON.
00:06:57.006 --> 00:07:00.610
AND IT SAYS, "WHEN HE SAW THE CROWDS
00:07:00.610 --> 00:07:04.247
"HE HAD COMPASSION ON THEM
00:07:04.247 --> 00:07:06.249
"BECAUSE THEY WERE HARASSED AND HELPLESS
00:07:06.249 --> 00:07:08.751
"LIKE A SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD."
00:07:08.751 --> 00:07:10.753
JESUS WAS ALWAYS MOVED BY COMPASSION.
00:07:10.753 --> 00:07:13.289
WHEREVER YOU SEE A MIRACLE IN THE BIBLE
00:07:13.289 --> 00:07:15.291
AND JESUS PERFORMING A MIRACLE,
00:07:15.291 --> 00:07:16.893
YOU SEE THAT IT'S PRECEDED OR FOLLOWED BY COMPASSION.
00:07:16.893 --> 00:07:20.229
AND WE AS CHRISTIANS OUGHTA HAVE COMPASSION
00:07:20.229 --> 00:07:22.598
ON THE WORLD AROUND US.
00:07:22.598 --> 00:07:23.699
THE PAIN AND THE SUFFERING AND THE INFIRMITIES.
00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:25.668
AND YES IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IN THE DAY IN WHICH WE LIVE
00:07:25.668 --> 00:07:28.604
THAT WE HOLD A LOT OF CONVICTIONS.
00:07:28.604 --> 00:07:30.072
BUT OUR CONVICTIONS NEED TO BE FUELED BY OUR COMPASSION.
00:07:30.072 --> 00:07:32.842
AND COMPASSION IS THE LANGUAGE
00:07:32.842 --> 00:07:34.544
THAT THE WORLD UNDERSTANDS.
00:07:34.544 --> 00:07:35.611
COMPASSION OPENS DOORS, COMPASSION OPENS HEARTS.
00:07:35.611 --> 00:07:38.748
JESUS WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION,
00:07:38.748 --> 00:07:40.883
AND WE THE PEOPLE OF JESUS, THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS
00:07:40.883 --> 00:07:43.152
NEED TO BE MOVED WITH COMPASSION.
00:07:43.152 --> 00:07:44.820
BUT THEN IT GOES ON AND IT SAYS,
00:07:44.820 --> 00:07:47.223
"THEN HE SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES,
00:07:47.223 --> 00:07:48.624
"THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW.
00:07:48.624 --> 00:07:52.562
"THEREFORE PRAY EARNESTLY TO THE LORD OF THE HARVEST
00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:56.465
"TO SEND OUT LABORERS INTO HIS HARVEST."
00:07:56.465 --> 00:08:00.670
I MEAN WHAT A POWERFUL SCRIPTURE.
00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:02.438
THIS SCRIPTURE IS THE FOUNDATION OF PROPEL WOMEN.
00:08:02.438 --> 00:08:05.408
I FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAK TO ME
00:08:05.408 --> 00:08:07.209
FROM THIS TEXT IN THE BIBLE.
00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:08.911
AND HE SAID, HEY LOOK OUT THE FIELDS ARE RIPE
00:08:08.911 --> 00:08:11.213
FOR THE HARVEST. THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL.
00:08:11.213 --> 00:08:13.749
THERE IS PLENTY OF HARVEST.
00:08:13.749 --> 00:08:15.785
THERE'S MORE THAN SEVEN AND A HALF BILLION PEOPLE
00:08:15.785 --> 00:08:17.920
ON THE EARTH TODAY.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.921
MAKE NO MISTAKE, THERE IS LOTS OF HARVEST.
00:08:18.921 --> 00:08:21.991
THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE HARVEST.
00:08:21.991 --> 00:08:24.126
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LABORERS ARE FEW.
00:08:24.126 --> 00:08:27.697
OTHER VERSIONS SAY, THE WORKERS ARE FEW.
00:08:27.697 --> 00:08:30.833
IT SEEMS LIKE JESUS IN HIS DAY
00:08:30.833 --> 00:08:33.202
OBVIOUSLY FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN AVERSION
00:08:33.202 --> 00:08:36.672
TO DOING THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY.
00:08:36.672 --> 00:08:39.208
AND SO JESUS HIMSELF WAS A WORKER.
00:08:39.208 --> 00:08:41.243
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WENT FROM TOWN TO TOWN,
00:08:41.243 --> 00:08:43.613
FROM VILLAGE TO VILLAGE.
00:08:43.613 --> 00:08:45.014
A LOT OF TIMES WE WANNA ONLY FOCUS ON THE TIMES
00:08:45.014 --> 00:08:47.350
THAT JESUS GOT OUT TO BE ALONE.
00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:49.418
WELL, HE GOT UP EARLY BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE
00:08:49.418 --> 00:08:51.954
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IN SCRIPTURE AND PRAYED
00:08:51.954 --> 00:08:53.723
AND THEN WENT ABOUT WORKING.
00:08:53.723 --> 00:08:55.591
HE WENT FROM VILLAGE TO VILLAGE.
00:08:55.591 --> 00:08:57.126
HE HEALED, HE TAUGHT, HE WORKED.
00:08:57.126 --> 00:09:00.563
HE WAS A CARPENTER BY TRADE.
00:09:00.563 --> 00:09:02.598
JESUS HIMSELF WORKED.
00:09:02.598 --> 00:09:04.266
I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE AS CHRISTIANS THINK
00:09:04.266 --> 00:09:05.868
THAT WE DON'T NEED TO WORK.
00:09:05.868 --> 00:09:08.237
THAT WORK IS PART OF WHAT WE DO
00:09:08.237 --> 00:09:10.640
TO ADVANCE THE KINGDOM OF GOD HERE ON THE EARTH.
00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:13.643
WORK IS SACRED, WORK IS HOLY.
00:09:13.643 --> 00:09:16.178
WE WERE CREATED TO WORK AND WE NEED TO BE ABOUT
00:09:16.178 --> 00:09:18.547
THE FATHER'S BUSINESS.
00:09:18.547 --> 00:09:19.849
THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY IS NOT JUST FOR ONE OR TWO,
00:09:19.849 --> 00:09:22.852
THERE'S NOT THIS SORT OF CLERGY AND LAITY.
00:09:22.852 --> 00:09:24.820
SORT OF FULL-TIME CHRISTIANS AND PART-TIME CHRISTIANS.
00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:27.556
REAL CHRISTIANS AND FAKE CHRISTIANS.
00:09:27.556 --> 00:09:29.892
LET ME JUST SAY, IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:09:29.892 --> 00:09:32.128
WE ARE PART OF A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD.
00:09:32.128 --> 00:09:34.363
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US IS CALLED
00:09:34.363 --> 00:09:36.866
TO ADVANCE THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:09:36.866 --> 00:09:39.035
AND TO GET TO WORK.
00:09:39.035 --> 00:09:40.469
I KNOW THERE'S OFTEN A LOT OF PEOPLE,
00:09:40.469 --> 00:09:42.304
THEY HAVE GREAT DREAMS AND GREAT PLANS AND GREAT PURPOSES.
00:09:42.304 --> 00:09:45.174
AND I SAY TO SOME YOUNG PEOPLE,
00:09:45.174 --> 00:09:47.009
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN?
00:09:47.009 --> 00:09:48.377
OH, I DON'T KNOW GOD'S JUST GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN.
00:09:48.377 --> 00:09:50.112
I'M LIKE, IT IS NOT GONNA FALL OUT OF THE SKY.
00:09:50.112 --> 00:09:52.548
YOU'VE GOTTA GO TO WORK.
00:09:52.548 --> 00:09:54.583
A LOT OF PEOPLE, WELL YOU KNOW,
00:09:54.583 --> 00:09:56.018
I JUST WANT TO DISCOVER WHAT I REALLY WANNA DO.
00:09:56.018 --> 00:09:58.187
I'M GOING, GO WORK IN A COFFEE SHOP
00:09:58.187 --> 00:09:59.655
WHILE YOU'RE DISCOVERING.
00:09:59.655 --> 00:10:00.690
LIKE YOU KNOW, PAY YOUR BILLS.
00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:02.525
GIRLS, IF THAT GUY DOES NOT HAVE A J-O-B, FORGET HIM OKAY.
00:10:02.525 --> 00:10:06.829
SO WHAT HAPPENS IS,
00:10:06.829 --> 00:10:08.264
I'M LIKE, WHAT IS YOUR JOB?
00:10:08.264 --> 00:10:10.900
NO MATTER WHAT, WE HAVE GOT TO GO TO WORK.
00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:13.269
JESUS IDENTIFIED IN THIS TEXT
00:10:13.269 --> 00:10:15.337
EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT WAS AT HAND.
00:10:15.337 --> 00:10:17.506
HE SAID, THERE'S PLENTY OF HARVEST.
00:10:17.506 --> 00:10:18.774
THAT WORD IN THE GREEK, THERIZO,
00:10:18.774 --> 00:10:21.410
TO REAP TOGETHER, TO COLLECT.
00:10:21.410 --> 00:10:23.479
ALL AROUND US THERE IS PLENTY OF HARVEST.
00:10:23.479 --> 00:10:25.881
IN YOUR WORKPLACE THERE'S HARVEST.
00:10:25.881 --> 00:10:27.383
IN YOUR SCHOOL, THERE'S HARVEST.
00:10:27.383 --> 00:10:29.385
IN YOUR COMMUNITY, THERE'S HARVEST.
00:10:29.385 --> 00:10:31.420
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE FOREIGN MISSION FIELD
00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:33.489
TO FIND A HARVEST.
00:10:33.489 --> 00:10:34.757
PEOPLE ARE ALL AROUND US,
00:10:34.757 --> 00:10:36.592
THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OF US
00:10:36.592 --> 00:10:38.728
THAT WANT TO GO TO WORK AMONGST THE HARVEST.
00:10:38.728 --> 00:10:41.731
AND THAT WORD, ERGATIS.
00:10:41.731 --> 00:10:43.866
IT'S A GREEK WORD,
00:10:43.866 --> 00:10:45.234
BUT IT COMES FROM THE WORD TO WORK.
00:10:45.234 --> 00:10:47.703
ERGATIS, A WORKER.
00:10:47.703 --> 00:10:49.739
THE BIBLE CALLS US WORKERS.
00:10:49.739 --> 00:10:51.474
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE.
00:10:51.474 --> 00:10:52.641
WE ARE WORKERS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:10:52.641 --> 00:10:56.178
WE ARE WORKERS IN THE FIELD OF GOD.
00:10:56.178 --> 00:10:58.714
IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT IN LIGHT OF ETERNITY WE REMEMBER
00:10:58.714 --> 00:11:02.418
WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR.
00:11:02.418 --> 00:11:03.519
WE ARE GOING TO WORK IN GOD'S FIELD.
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.555
YOU'RE NOT JUST TURNING UP TO GO TO WORK
00:11:06.555 --> 00:11:08.057
IN YOUR OFFICE EVERY DAY.
00:11:08.057 --> 00:11:09.258
YOU'RE NOT JUST TURNING UP TO GO TO COLLEGE EVERY DAY.
00:11:09.258 --> 00:11:11.327
YOU'RE NOT JUST GOING TO THE SUPERMARKET, IT'S GOD'S FIELD.
00:11:11.327 --> 00:11:14.797
IT'S HIS HARVEST FIELD AND WE ARE WORKERS.
00:11:14.797 --> 00:11:18.134
ERGATIS IN THE GREEK, WE ARE WORKERS.
00:11:18.134 --> 00:11:20.436
AND THE FACT IS THAT HE SAID,
00:11:20.436 --> 00:11:23.539
I NEED YOU TO PRAY TO THE LORD OF THE HARVEST
00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:25.441
TO SEND FORTH LABORERS.
00:11:25.441 --> 00:11:28.077
TO SEND FORTH WORKERS.
00:11:28.077 --> 00:11:29.912
WHEN THE LAST TIME YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER?
00:11:29.912 --> 00:11:33.983
IT'S NOT OFTEN IN THE BIBLE THAT GOD TELLS US WHAT TO PRAY.
00:11:33.983 --> 00:11:37.820
IF WE ARE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST,
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:39.655
IF HE IS THE LORD OF THE HARVEST
00:11:39.655 --> 00:11:41.891
AND HE SAYS TO US THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO PRAY,
00:11:41.891 --> 00:11:46.595
ASK YOURSELF WHEN YOU LAST PRAYED
00:11:46.595 --> 00:11:48.364
WHAT JESUS ASKED YOU TO PRAY.
00:11:48.364 --> 00:11:50.599
THEN ASK YOURSELF WHEN YOU LAST PRAYED
00:11:50.599 --> 00:11:52.201
FOR YOUR OWN NEEDS TO BE MET.
00:11:52.201 --> 00:11:54.370
AND I'LL PUT MYSELF IN ALL OF THIS AS WELL,
00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:56.772
I'M NOT JUST POINTING A FINGER HERE.
00:11:56.772 --> 00:11:58.207
BUT I'M PUTTING THE CHALLENGE AHEAD
00:11:58.207 --> 00:12:00.976
TO SAY IF WE CAN BEGIN TO PRAY THIS PRAYER
00:12:00.976 --> 00:12:04.980
THEN I GUARANTEE YOU, WE'RE GONNA FIND
00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:06.515
THAT WE ARE THE ANSWER TO OUR OWN PRAYER.
00:12:06.515 --> 00:12:08.751
WE ARE GONNA FIND SO MUCH MORE FRUITFULNESS
00:12:08.751 --> 00:12:11.554
IN THE WORLD AROUND US.
00:12:11.554 --> 00:12:13.222
WE'RE GONNA BEGIN TO GO TO WORK ON MISSION.
00:12:13.222 --> 00:12:15.825
WE'RE GONNA TURN UP AT COLLEGE ON MISSION.
00:12:15.825 --> 00:12:18.294
AND THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE WITH OUR FRIENDS
00:12:18.294 --> 00:12:20.262
SUDDENLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE VERY INTENTIONAL.
00:12:20.262 --> 00:12:23.032
THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE ON THE PHONE,
00:12:23.032 --> 00:12:24.934
THEY'RE GONNA BE VERY INTENTIONAL.
00:12:24.934 --> 00:12:26.535
WE'RE GONNA THINK ONCE OR TWICE OR MAYBE 10 TIMES
00:12:26.535 --> 00:12:29.538
BEFORE WE SEND THAT TWEET OUT
00:12:29.538 --> 00:12:31.273
'CAUSE WE'RE GOING,
00:12:31.273 --> 00:12:32.341
IS THIS ACTUALLY ADVANCING THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:12:32.341 --> 00:12:35.311
OR IS THIS ADDING TO ALL THE FEAR, DOUBT AND NEGATIVITY?
00:12:35.311 --> 00:12:38.447
WE'RE GONNA THINK TWICE BEFORE WORDS COME OUT OF OUR MOUTH.
00:12:38.447 --> 00:12:41.350
IT'S GONNA CHANGE OUR WHOLE LIFE
00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:42.918
IF WE LOOK AT OUR LIFE ON EARTH
00:12:42.918 --> 00:12:44.286
LIKE WE'RE GOING TO WORK.
00:12:44.286 --> 00:12:49.692
- [NARRATOR] GOD CREATED YOU FOR AN AMAZING PURPOSE.
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:53.696
TO SHINE A LIFE-CHANGING LIFE ON EVERYONE YOU ENCOUNTER.
00:12:53.696 --> 00:12:57.233
THE LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:12:57.233 --> 00:12:59.501
THOUGH MANY BELIEVE THIS TRUTH,
00:12:59.501 --> 00:13:01.337
FEW BELIEVERS FULLY UNDERSTAND
00:13:01.337 --> 00:13:03.572
HOW TO LET GOD'S LIGHT SHINE THROUGH THEIR LIVES.
00:13:03.572 --> 00:13:06.442
IN HER NEW AND EYE-OPENING SERIES ON DVD,
00:13:06.442 --> 00:13:09.345

CHRISTINE CAINE SHARES ENCOURAGING INSIGHTS
00:13:11.347 --> 00:13:14.316
FROM GOD'S WORD.

TO SHARE A GIFT AND REQUEST YOUR COPY OF THE BEST WORK.
00:13:43.245 --> 00:13:47.483
JESUS SAID LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE OTHERS,
00:13:47.483 --> 00:13:50.586
THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS
00:13:50.586 --> 00:13:52.788
AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
00:13:52.788 --> 00:13:55.190
IT'S TIME TO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE FOR ALL TO SEE.
00:13:55.190 --> 00:13:58.694
CALL, CLICK, OR WRITE TODAY.
00:13:58.694 --> 00:14:07.069
- IT'S POSSIBLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN THAT IS NOT WORKING.
00:14:08.237 --> 00:14:12.408
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A JOB
00:14:12.408 --> 00:14:15.144
IN TERMS OF GETTING MONEY FOR TIME.
00:14:15.144 --> 00:14:21.884
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WORK IN THE MINISTRY.
00:14:21.884 --> 00:14:24.553
BECAUSE WHAT WE THINK IS
00:14:24.553 --> 00:14:26.789
THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY'S FOR PROFESSIONALS
00:14:26.789 --> 00:14:28.590
BUT EVERY CHRISTIAN IS CALLED TO BE A CHRISTIAN.
00:14:28.590 --> 00:14:30.459
I KNOW THAT'S ROCKET SCIENCE.
00:14:30.459 --> 00:14:32.594
I BET YOU'RE GLAD YOU TUNED IN TODAY.
00:14:32.594 --> 00:14:33.896
RIGHT THERE, THAT'S LIKE A--
00:14:33.896 --> 00:14:35.931
BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW CHRISTINE,
00:14:35.931 --> 00:14:37.399
AND I'M LIKE, LOOK JUST BECAUSE I DO THIS
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.369
I MEAN I HAVE A, OF COURSE IN THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:14:40.369 --> 00:14:42.571
NOT MANY OF YOU DESIRE TO BE TEACHERS
00:14:42.571 --> 00:14:44.340
BECAUSE THERE'S A JUDGMENT
00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:46.108
THAT'S EVEN MORE SEVERE THAT'S GONNA COME TO US.
00:14:46.108 --> 00:14:49.845
BUT ALL OF US ARE CALLED TO BE CHRISTIANS.
00:14:49.845 --> 00:14:52.314
ALL OF US ARE CALLED TO ADVANCE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:14:52.314 --> 00:14:55.050
ALL OF US ARE CALLED TO BE WORKERS IN THE HARVEST FIELD.
00:14:55.050 --> 00:14:57.987
NOW I'M GONNA JUST SHOW YOU
00:14:57.987 --> 00:14:59.555
FROM FIRST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER THREE VERSE NINE.
00:14:59.555 --> 00:15:03.792
PAUL WRITES, WHAT THEN IS APOLLOS?
00:15:03.792 --> 00:15:05.327
WHAT IS PAUL?
00:15:05.327 --> 00:15:06.228
SERVANTS THROUGH WHOM YOU BELIEVED,
00:15:06.228 --> 00:15:08.630
AS THE LORD ASSIGNED TO EACH.
00:15:08.630 --> 00:15:10.032
I PLANTED, APOLLOS WATERED,
00:15:10.032 --> 00:15:11.700
BUT GOD GAVE THE GROWTH.
00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:13.469
HE WHO PLANTS AND HE WHO WATERS ARE ONE.
00:15:13.469 --> 00:15:15.537
AND EACH WILL RECEIVE HIS WAGES
00:15:15.537 --> 00:15:17.639
ACCORDING TO HIS LABOR.
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:21.076
FOR WE ARE GOD'S FELLOW WORKERS.
00:15:21.076 --> 00:15:25.748
FELLOW WORKERS.
00:15:25.748 --> 00:15:26.982
1 THESSALONIANS 3:2,
00:15:26.982 --> 00:15:28.650
THEREFORE WHEN WE COULD BEAR IT NO LONGER,
00:15:28.650 --> 00:15:31.787
WE WERE WILLING TO BE LEFT BEHIND IN ATHENS ALONE,
00:15:31.787 --> 00:15:33.889
AND WE SENT TIMOTHY, OUR BROTHER, AND GOD'S COWORKER
00:15:33.889 --> 00:15:38.193
IN THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST
00:15:38.193 --> 00:15:39.728
TO ESTABLISH AND EXHORT YOU IN YOUR FAITH.
00:15:39.728 --> 00:15:45.501
SO HE SAYS WE ARE CO-LABORERS, WE ARE COWORKERS.
00:15:45.501 --> 00:15:48.070
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE
00:15:48.070 --> 00:15:51.974
INVITES YOU AND ME
00:15:51.974 --> 00:15:54.009
TO BE A COWORKER WITH HIM IN HIS HARVEST FIELD.
00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:58.947
THAT IS THE ULTIMATE ULTIMATE
00:15:58.947 --> 00:16:01.483
JOB PROFILE EVER.
00:16:01.483 --> 00:16:03.685
NOW I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BEING A MISSIONARY
00:16:03.685 --> 00:16:06.455
IN A FOREIGN MISSION FIELD
00:16:06.455 --> 00:16:08.123
BECAUSE THAT'S WHO WE THINK GOD'S WORKERS ARE.
00:16:08.123 --> 00:16:10.292
YOU CAN BE A DOCTOR, YOU CAN BE A LAWYER,
00:16:10.292 --> 00:16:11.994
YOU CAN BE A COMPUTER SCIENTIST, YOU CAN BE AN ENTREPRENEUR
00:16:11.994 --> 00:16:14.296
YOU CAN BE A FULL-TIME HOMESCHOOLING MOTHER.
00:16:14.296 --> 00:16:16.832
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR JOB TITLE IS
00:16:16.832 --> 00:16:19.902
HERE ON EARTH.
00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:21.070
IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST
00:16:21.070 --> 00:16:23.205
THEN WE ARE CO-WORKERS WITH GOD.
00:16:23.205 --> 00:16:26.742
WE ARE INVITED INTO KINGDOM WORK WITH GOD.
00:16:26.742 --> 00:16:30.612
IT WOULD CHANGE YOUR WHOLE DAY
00:16:30.612 --> 00:16:32.614
AND YOUR ENTIRE ATTITUDE IF YOU GOT UP EVERY DAY
00:16:32.614 --> 00:16:35.417
KNOWING I AM A CO-LABORER WITH GOD.
00:16:35.417 --> 00:16:38.987
YOU KNOW WHERE I WORK THERE IS,
00:16:38.987 --> 00:16:41.657
WHERE I LIVE THERE IS THIS LITTLE AREA
00:16:41.657 --> 00:16:43.725
AND THERE'S A LOT OF DAY LABORERS
00:16:43.725 --> 00:16:45.594
THAT OFFER UP THEIR SERVICES FOR THE DAY.
00:16:45.594 --> 00:16:48.297
SO IN THE MORNING, THERE'S A COUPLE OF HUNDRED OF THEM
00:16:48.297 --> 00:16:51.800
THAT ARE WAITING FOR DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS
00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:54.036
TO COME AND PICK THEM UP.
00:16:54.036 --> 00:16:55.204
AND A DAY LABORER IS JUST KIND OF WAITING.
00:16:55.204 --> 00:16:57.606
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT JOB THEY'RE GONNA DO THAT DAY.
00:16:57.606 --> 00:16:59.108
THEY DON'T KNOW, THEY'RE LIKE A JACK OF ALL TRADES AND
00:16:59.108 --> 00:17:02.644
THEY JUST JUMP IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK
00:17:02.644 --> 00:17:04.480
AND THEY'RE GONNA BE A DAY LABORER,
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.448
THEY'RE A DAY WORKER,
00:17:06.448 --> 00:17:08.150
AND THEY'RE JUST UP FOR WHAT EVER SO THAT THEY COULD WORK.
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:11.186
WELL I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE THE ATTITUDE OF CHRISTIANS.
00:17:11.186 --> 00:17:13.589
SEE WHAT WE DO, IS WE GO NO,
00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:15.357
WHAT'S GONNA BE MY JOB?
00:17:15.357 --> 00:17:16.892
AND DOES THAT FIT IN WITH MY GIFT MIX?
00:17:16.892 --> 00:17:18.694
AND IS THAT MY PERSONALITY PROFILE?
00:17:18.694 --> 00:17:22.030
AND HOW MANY DAYS OFF AM I GONNA GET?
00:17:22.030 --> 00:17:24.299
AND I NEED TO HAVE BALANCE, AND I NEED TO BE.
00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:28.837
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THOSE DAY LABORERS?
00:17:28.837 --> 00:17:30.305
THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY OF THAT,
00:17:30.305 --> 00:17:31.640
THEY JUST JUMP IN ON THE TRUCK GOING, AWESOME,
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.742
I GOT A JOB, I'M SO EXCITED.
00:17:33.742 --> 00:17:36.044
AND WE NEED TO BE A GROUP OF CHRISTIANS
00:17:36.044 --> 00:17:38.113
THAT GET UP EVERY DAY AND GO, FATHER
00:17:38.113 --> 00:17:39.882
I WANNA BE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS TODAY.
00:17:39.882 --> 00:17:41.984
I'M TURNING UP AND I'M A DAY LABORER FOR YOU,
00:17:41.984 --> 00:17:44.419
I'M A DAY WORKER FOR YOU.
00:17:44.419 --> 00:17:45.988
I WANNA BE ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS.
00:17:45.988 --> 00:17:48.157
IT WOULD CHANGE SO MUCH
00:17:48.157 --> 00:17:52.194
IF WE STARTED TO SEE OURSELVES AS COWORKERS
00:17:52.194 --> 00:17:55.297
AND THAT WE UNDERSTOOD THAT
00:17:55.297 --> 00:17:57.799
GOD COULD'VE SAVED THIS WORLD ANYWAY HE WANTED.
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.969
GOD COULD REACH HUMANITY ANY WAY HE WANTED.
00:18:00.969 --> 00:18:04.740
AND GOD HIMSELF SAID I'M GOING TO PUT MY SPIRIT
00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:08.844
ON THE INSIDE OF YOU
00:18:08.844 --> 00:18:10.445
AND HOW I'M GONNA GETTING GET TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU
00:18:10.445 --> 00:18:13.015
IS THROUGH YOU.
00:18:13.015 --> 00:18:14.383
I LOVE YOU THAT MUCH
00:18:14.383 --> 00:18:16.084
THAT I DON'T WANNA DO THIS ON MY OWN,
00:18:16.084 --> 00:18:18.687
I'M GONNA DO IT WITH YOU.
00:18:18.687 --> 00:18:20.022
AND YOU GET TO BE A COWORKER.
00:18:20.022 --> 00:18:22.558
YOU GET TO BE A CO-LABORER WITH CHRIST.
00:18:22.558 --> 00:18:25.661
IT WOULD CHANGE THE WAY YOU ABSOLUTELY
00:18:25.661 --> 00:18:30.766
SPEND EVERY SINGLE DAY. YOU'D HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH,
00:18:30.766 --> 00:18:34.870
YOU PUT YOUR CHEST OUT A BIT.
00:18:34.870 --> 00:18:36.471
I'M A COWORKER WITH CHRIST.
00:18:36.471 --> 00:18:38.240
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT JOB YOU'RE DOING
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.975
BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM I THINK.
00:18:39.975 --> 00:18:41.710
I THINK MOST OF US, IT'S NOT ENOUGH
00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:44.913
TO BE A COWORKER WITH CHRIST BECAUSE IF IT WAS,
00:18:44.913 --> 00:18:47.649
WE WOULD BE DOING IT.
00:18:47.649 --> 00:18:49.117
I THINK MOST OF US WANT TO BE COSTARS.
00:18:49.117 --> 00:18:51.587
AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
00:18:51.587 --> 00:18:53.488
SEE WHEN YOU WANNA BE A COSTAR, YOU WANT EQUAL BILLING.
00:18:53.488 --> 00:18:56.625
OH NO, YOUR NAME'S NOT GONNA BE AT THE FRONT.
00:18:56.625 --> 00:18:58.427
I WANT MY NAME TO BE RIGHT THERE ALONGSIDE.
00:18:58.427 --> 00:19:00.596
I WANT TO BE A COSTAR WITH JESUS.
00:19:00.596 --> 00:19:02.431
YOU KNOW HASHTAG HUMBLE BRAG, TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
00:19:02.431 --> 00:19:05.200
BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT ME.
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.135
AND GOD SAYS, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WORK I'VE GOT FOR YOU
00:19:07.135 --> 00:19:10.372
TO DO EVERY DAY?
00:19:10.372 --> 00:19:11.540
I'VE GOT SO MUCH I COULD DO IN AND THROUGH YOU
00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:13.942
IF YOU WERE WILLING NOT TO BE A COSTAR,
00:19:13.942 --> 00:19:15.744
BUT YOU ARE WILLING TO BE A COWORKER.
00:19:15.744 --> 00:19:17.646
THERE IS SO MUCH WORK THAT GOD HAS FOR US TO DO
00:19:17.646 --> 00:19:20.215
IN ANONYMITY AND OBSCURITY.
00:19:20.215 --> 00:19:22.751
THERE'S SO MUCH THAT'S NOT AN INSTAGRAMMABLE
00:19:22.751 --> 00:19:25.787
THAT IS KINGDOM WORK.
00:19:25.787 --> 00:19:27.189
THERE IS SO MUCH THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SNAPCHAT,
00:19:27.189 --> 00:19:29.691
THAT YOU CAN HELP PEOPLE,
00:19:29.691 --> 00:19:30.792
YOU CAN HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE.
00:19:30.792 --> 00:19:32.361
YOU COULD BE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE.
00:19:32.361 --> 00:19:33.729
I THINK THE FACT THAT WE'VE ALL LEARNED
00:19:33.729 --> 00:19:36.131
TO LIVE OUR LIVES ONLINE UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT,
00:19:36.131 --> 00:19:38.600
WE THINK IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SOMEONE DOESN'T SEE IT.
00:19:38.600 --> 00:19:41.336
BUT WHAT WE FORGET IS THAT GOD'S SPOTLIGHT IS ALWAYS ON US.
00:19:41.336 --> 00:19:44.406
I SAY TO PEOPLE THEY GO, YOU KNOW CHRISTINE
00:19:44.406 --> 00:19:46.375
HOW DID YOU BECOME EITHER AN ACCOMPLISHED SPEAKER
00:19:46.375 --> 00:19:49.244
OR HOW DO YOU?
00:19:49.244 --> 00:19:50.345
I GO LOOK, THE FACT IS I DID NOT JUST START
00:19:50.345 --> 00:19:52.581
PREACHING THE GOSPEL WHEN SOMEONE PUT
00:19:52.581 --> 00:19:54.549
A MICROPHONE IN MY HAND.
00:19:54.549 --> 00:19:55.984
ANYBODY THAT KNOWS ME PERSONALLY,
00:19:55.984 --> 00:19:58.287
YOU COULD ASK MY HUSBAND, MY STAFF, ANY OF MY FRIENDS.
00:19:58.287 --> 00:20:00.956
ME UP HERE IS THE SAME ME
00:20:00.956 --> 00:20:04.626
AS SITTING IN A LIVING ROOM OR ACROSS A KITCHEN TABLE
00:20:04.626 --> 00:20:08.330
WITH SOMEONE. I MEAN, I AM THIS INTENSE ALL THE TIME.
00:20:08.330 --> 00:20:11.533
I AM SPEAKING ABOUT THIS STUFF ALL THE TIME.
00:20:11.533 --> 00:20:14.536
PEOPLE GO, WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AT YOUR NOTES?
00:20:14.536 --> 00:20:16.238
IT'S BECAUSE I JUST TALK, THIS IS WHAT I DO ALL THE TIME.
00:20:16.238 --> 00:20:19.708
AND NOW I'M JUST DOING IT TO YOU
00:20:19.708 --> 00:20:21.043
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN.
00:20:21.043 --> 00:20:22.210
SO BASICALLY YOU JUST JUMPED INTO MY LOUNGE ROOM.
00:20:22.210 --> 00:20:24.813
AND SO AT THE END OF THE DAY
00:20:24.813 --> 00:20:26.181
PEOPLE GO LIKE, DO YOU EVER HAVE ANOTHER GEAR?
00:20:26.181 --> 00:20:29.084
I'M LIKE, NO, I'M SORRY.
00:20:29.084 --> 00:20:30.752
IT JUST IS THE WAY THAT IT IS,
00:20:30.752 --> 00:20:32.254
IT'S BECAUSE I'M CONSTANTLY THINKING
00:20:32.254 --> 00:20:34.489
ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS.
00:20:34.489 --> 00:20:36.091
AND SO, YEAH SO RIGHT NOW,
00:20:36.091 --> 00:20:38.160
THERE MIGHT BE A SPOTLIGHT ON ME.
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:39.428
OR YES THERE MAY BE A MICROPHONE
00:20:39.428 --> 00:20:42.864
THAT MAGNIFIES MY VOICE FURTHER AND FURTHER.
00:20:42.864 --> 00:20:45.567
BUT I AM LIKE THIS WHEN THERE IS NO SPOTLIGHT
00:20:45.567 --> 00:20:48.070
AND THERE IS NO MICROPHONE IN MY HAND
00:20:48.070 --> 00:20:50.872
BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS
00:20:50.872 --> 00:20:53.175
BECAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GOD LETS ME
00:20:53.175 --> 00:20:55.610
CO-LABOR WITH HIM.
00:20:55.610 --> 00:20:56.978
I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST STARTED
00:20:56.978 --> 00:20:58.280
SERVING THE LORD AND I WAS INVITED TO COME
00:20:58.280 --> 00:21:01.450
AND HELP START A YOUTH CENTER
00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:03.318
THAT I EVENTUALLY BECAME THE DIRECTOR OF.
00:21:03.318 --> 00:21:04.853
BUT IN THAT FIRST YEAR, WHEN I WAS LIKE A VOLUNTEER
00:21:04.853 --> 00:21:08.557
WITH EVERYBODY ELSE,
00:21:08.557 --> 00:21:09.858
I REMEMBER WE WERE PAINTING THE WALLS.
00:21:09.858 --> 00:21:12.027
I MEAN IT WAS THIS YOUTH CENTER
00:21:12.027 --> 00:21:13.862
THAT WAS A DIVE AND SO DIRTY.
00:21:13.862 --> 00:21:16.031
WE WERE SCRUBBING THE WALLS.
00:21:16.031 --> 00:21:17.899
AND I REMEMBER IT WAS PINK PAINT.
00:21:17.899 --> 00:21:20.268
I MEAN IT WAS THE 90S EVERYONE, I'M SORRY.
00:21:20.268 --> 00:21:21.903
IT WAS A PALE PINK PAINT
00:21:21.903 --> 00:21:23.805
AND I CAN REMEMBER TO THIS DAY
00:21:23.805 --> 00:21:26.641
THAT WE WERE PAINTING THAT TOILET WALL.
00:21:26.641 --> 00:21:29.878
AND I WAS CRYING, AND I WAS SAYING TO JESUS
00:21:29.878 --> 00:21:33.849
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE LETTING ME DO THIS
00:21:33.849 --> 00:21:37.552
AFTER MY PAST,
00:21:37.552 --> 00:21:39.121
AFTER ALL THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE
00:21:39.121 --> 00:21:42.457
THAT WERE JUST SO UNGODLY AND SO SINFUL
00:21:42.457 --> 00:21:45.794
THAT YOU ARE GIVING ME A CHANCE TO WORK FOR YOU.
00:21:45.794 --> 00:21:50.932
THAT YOU ARE GIVING ME A CHANCE,
00:21:50.932 --> 00:21:52.667
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, CAN I JUST SAY TO YOU,
00:21:52.667 --> 00:21:54.636
NOWADAYS BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
00:21:54.636 --> 00:21:56.371
I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL THE WORLD
00:21:56.371 --> 00:21:58.507
AND PREACH AND TEACH AND WRITE BOOKS
00:21:58.507 --> 00:22:01.009
AND RUN A21 AND PROPEL,
00:22:01.009 --> 00:22:03.011
CAN I TELL YOU I FEEL THE SAME WAY EVERY DAY.
00:22:03.011 --> 00:22:04.880
EVERY SINGLE DAY I'M LIKE JESUS, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.682
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I GET TO PROCLAIM YOUR GOSPEL.
00:22:07.682 --> 00:22:12.687
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ALLOW ME,
00:22:12.687 --> 00:22:17.092
SOMEONE WITH MY PAST,
00:22:17.092 --> 00:22:18.760
SOMEONE THAT HAS DONE WHAT I'VE DONE
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:21.563
THAT YOU WOULD INVITE ME INTO YOUR KINGDOM PURPOSE
00:22:21.563 --> 00:22:26.435
AND YOU WOULD ALLOW ME TO BE A CO-WORKER WITH GOD.
00:22:26.435 --> 00:22:33.074
A CO-LABORER WITH GOD.
00:22:33.074 --> 00:22:36.945
IF WE AS CHRISTIANS CANNOT SEE WHAT A PRIVILEGE
00:22:36.945 --> 00:22:42.217
AND AN HONOR THAT INVITATION IS
00:22:42.217 --> 00:22:45.554
THEN WE NEED TO GET OUR HEARTS RIGHT BEFORE GOD.
00:22:45.554 --> 00:22:48.256
WE NEED TO LOSE THE ATTITUDE THAT SAYS,
00:22:48.256 --> 00:22:51.326
WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T WANNA GET BURNT OUT THERE.
00:22:51.326 --> 00:22:53.595
I JUST DON'T WANNA DO TOO MUCH FOR GOD.
00:22:53.595 --> 00:22:56.164
AND WE NEED TO TURN AROUND AND GO,
00:22:56.164 --> 00:22:57.632
I MUST BE ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS.
00:22:57.632 --> 00:23:01.169
THANK YOU JESUS, THAT YOU DIDN'T JUST LEAVE ME.
00:23:01.169 --> 00:23:04.739
YOU DIDN'T ONLY JUST SAVE ME,
00:23:04.739 --> 00:23:07.609
YOU SAVED ME AND YOU CALLED ME
00:23:07.609 --> 00:23:10.812
TO BE A CO-LABORER WITH YOU
00:23:10.812 --> 00:23:13.081
IN YOUR HARVEST FIELD.
00:23:13.081 --> 00:23:15.984
THERE IS NO HIGHER PRIVILEGE, IN JESUS NAME.
00:23:15.984 --> 00:23:19.554
NO HIGHER PRIVILEGE, IN JESUS NAME.
00:23:19.554 --> 00:23:25.093
YOU'RE AWESOME.
00:23:25.093 --> 00:23:26.161
THANKS SO MUCH FOR TUNING IN TODAY.
00:23:26.161 --> 00:23:27.762
I BELIEVE GOD HAS SO MUCH IN STORE FOR YOU
00:23:27.762 --> 00:23:30.932
AND I HOPE THE TEACHING TODAY ENCOURAGED YOU.
00:23:30.932 --> 00:23:33.134
THERE ARE SPECIFIC THING GOD WANTS TO DO
00:23:33.134 --> 00:23:35.737
IN AND THROUGH YOU.
00:23:35.737 --> 00:23:36.938
AND RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
00:23:36.938 --> 00:23:39.040
TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP IN BOTH OF THOSE AREAS.
00:23:39.040 --> 00:23:41.643
FOR YOUR GIFT OF SUPPORT TO THE OUTREACHES OF TBN,
00:23:41.643 --> 00:23:44.646
MATT, LAURIE AND I
00:23:44.646 --> 00:23:46.848
WANNA SEND YOU MY NEWEST TEACHING SERIES.
00:23:46.848 --> 00:23:49.050
NOW THIS SERIES WILL EMPOWER YOU TO LIVE THE LIFE
00:23:49.050 --> 00:23:51.653
GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO LIVE.
00:23:51.653 --> 00:23:53.088
AND YOUR GIFT WILL HELP TAKE THE WORD OF GOD
