[3761.24 --> 3761.66] is that he's not
[3761.66 --> 3762.34] even really doing
[3762.34 --> 3763.40] much at all.
[3763.86 --> 3764.66] He's really just
[3764.66 --> 3765.28] receiving.
[3765.94 --> 3766.40] He's letting
[3766.40 --> 3767.66] John baptize him.
[3768.08 --> 3768.78] He's listening
[3768.78 --> 3769.50] to the words
[3769.50 --> 3770.20] of the Father,
[3770.46 --> 3771.20] you are my son
[3771.20 --> 3771.84] whom I love.
[3772.14 --> 3772.78] He's letting
[3772.78 --> 3773.64] the Holy Spirit
[3773.64 --> 3774.62] descend on him.
[3775.30 --> 3775.82] He's not putting
[3775.82 --> 3776.38] up a fight.
[3776.54 --> 3777.66] He's not challenging.
[3777.86 --> 3778.36] He's not saying,
[3778.64 --> 3779.32] I'm not worthy
[3779.32 --> 3780.16] or how could I
[3780.16 --> 3781.28] or I don't deserve this.
[3781.48 --> 3782.44] He's just simply
[3782.44 --> 3782.96] saying,
[3783.12 --> 3783.68] yes Lord,
[3783.90 --> 3785.06] I receive that.
[3785.16 --> 3786.02] I hear that.
[3786.26 --> 3787.34] I let that in.
[3787.42 --> 3788.60] I carry that with me.
[3789.64 --> 3790.26] And I wonder how
[3790.26 --> 3791.60] letting kind of
[3791.60 --> 3792.32] Christ teach us
[3792.32 --> 3792.96] how to receive
[3792.96 --> 3793.66] this love from the
[3793.66 --> 3794.76] Father might free
[3794.76 --> 3795.60] us from the need
[3795.60 --> 3796.56] for approval,
[3797.36 --> 3798.56] for defensiveness,
[3799.10 --> 3799.74] or performance
[3799.74 --> 3800.32] identity,
[3800.68 --> 3801.70] or image,
[3802.22 --> 3803.30] or busyness.
[3803.72 --> 3804.40] Where might this
[3804.40 --> 3805.16] learn to receive
[3805.16 --> 3806.20] the Father's love?
[3806.62 --> 3806.84] In sense,
[3807.12 --> 3808.26] to live from
[3808.26 --> 3809.32] the Father's blessing,
[3809.46 --> 3810.24] not have to work
[3810.24 --> 3810.82] for it.
[3810.94 --> 3811.04] Right?
[3811.04 --> 3811.48] Remainments are
[3811.48 --> 3812.44] tempted to live from.
[3812.76 --> 3813.18] To kind of,
[3813.28 --> 3813.76] how do we live
[3813.76 --> 3814.34] from that,
[3814.42 --> 3815.12] not for it?
[3815.12 --> 3817.32] Thirdly,
[3817.34 --> 3818.00] we see where this
[3818.00 --> 3819.70] trust and power
[3819.70 --> 3820.20] and love
[3820.20 --> 3820.98] is taking us
[3820.98 --> 3821.94] to verse 19.
[3822.88 --> 3824.32] So that you may be
[3824.32 --> 3826.04] filled to the measure
[3826.04 --> 3827.48] of all the fullness
[3827.48 --> 3828.50] of God.
[3829.52 --> 3829.92] Or here,
[3830.04 --> 3830.72] I do like the
[3830.72 --> 3831.72] amplified version.
[3832.28 --> 3833.46] So that you may have
[3833.46 --> 3835.06] the richest experience
[3835.06 --> 3836.50] of God's presence
[3836.50 --> 3837.82] in your lives,
[3838.30 --> 3839.52] completely filled
[3839.52 --> 3840.40] and flooded
[3840.40 --> 3841.86] with God himself.
[3843.12 --> 3843.98] Does that sound amazing?
[3843.98 --> 3845.38] That's possible
[3845.38 --> 3846.10] for you and I.
[3846.66 --> 3847.50] I think of the story
[3847.50 --> 3849.00] of John of Kronstadt.
[3849.62 --> 3850.98] He was a 19th century
[3850.98 --> 3853.20] Russian Orthodox priest
[3853.20 --> 3854.58] at a time where
[3854.58 --> 3855.74] alcohol abuse
[3855.74 --> 3856.68] was rampant.
[3857.70 --> 3858.42] None of the priests
[3858.42 --> 3859.12] around him
[3859.12 --> 3860.04] would venture out
[3860.04 --> 3860.74] of their churches
[3860.74 --> 3863.36] to care for the loss
[3863.36 --> 3864.14] and those who were
[3864.14 --> 3865.08] struggling with alcohol.
[3865.64 --> 3865.98] They would kind of
[3865.98 --> 3866.54] wait for people
[3866.54 --> 3867.38] to come to them.
[3868.18 --> 3868.62] But John,
[3868.78 --> 3869.96] compelled by love,
[3870.24 --> 3870.80] would go out
