[1555.60 --> 1556.74] It always makes me laugh,
[1556.82 --> 1557.04] kind of.
[1557.22 --> 1557.90] You see it kind of
[1557.90 --> 1559.04] pretty good in The Chosen.
[1559.28 --> 1559.54] I don't know
[1559.54 --> 1560.20] if you've been watching that.
[1560.26 --> 1560.72] My wife and I
[1560.72 --> 1561.28] have been watching it.
[1561.82 --> 1562.84] But these guys
[1562.84 --> 1564.82] are clueless sometimes.
[1566.14 --> 1566.70] And so are we.
[1566.96 --> 1567.98] And we should look at them
[1567.98 --> 1568.16] and say,
[1568.24 --> 1568.44] wow,
[1568.56 --> 1569.70] if God can use them,
[1569.74 --> 1570.58] I guess He can use me.
[1573.68 --> 1575.52] And Peter goes from denier
[1575.52 --> 1577.86] to Peter the rock,
[1579.14 --> 1580.70] a work of the Spirit.
[1581.52 --> 1583.12] And how powerful is He
[1583.12 --> 1584.80] in the Spirit?
[1584.90 --> 1585.74] How powerful are we
[1585.74 --> 1586.70] in the Spirit?
[1586.88 --> 1587.02] Well,
[1587.06 --> 1588.12] look at Matthew 16.
[1589.60 --> 1590.18] Jesus says,
[1590.24 --> 1591.00] and I tell you,
[1591.18 --> 1591.92] you are Peter,
[1591.92 --> 1593.20] and on this rock
[1593.20 --> 1594.52] I will build my church.
[1595.34 --> 1596.92] And the gates of Hades,
[1597.04 --> 1598.24] the gates of hell
[1598.24 --> 1599.38] will not prevail.
[1599.38 --> 1605.66] Nothing can stop
[1605.66 --> 1607.22] the work of God
[1607.22 --> 1608.16] through His Spirit
[1608.16 --> 1609.10] in this world.
[1612.58 --> 1613.92] And it's high time
[1613.92 --> 1615.88] that we humbly stand up
[1615.88 --> 1617.60] and we simply say,
[1617.72 --> 1617.98] Lord,
[1619.26 --> 1620.02] use even me.
[1621.70 --> 1622.66] Use even me.
[1624.26 --> 1625.64] To help be a part
[1625.64 --> 1626.48] of your kingdom
[1626.48 --> 1627.70] come and coming
[1627.70 --> 1628.94] to be a blessing
[1628.94 --> 1630.08] in this world.
[1630.98 --> 1631.56] Let's pray.
[1634.18 --> 1634.78] Father God,
[1634.82 --> 1635.52] we come before You
[1635.52 --> 1636.38] and we thank You for,
[1637.14 --> 1638.18] we thank You for being
[1638.18 --> 1640.18] a God who comes to us.
[1641.48 --> 1642.42] You come to us
[1642.42 --> 1642.88] through Your Son,
[1643.00 --> 1643.26] Jesus.
[1644.02 --> 1645.34] You sent Your Spirit
[1645.34 --> 1646.28] to empower us.
[1646.78 --> 1647.94] You keep showing up.
[1648.62 --> 1648.76] Lord,
[1648.84 --> 1649.44] might we learn
[1649.44 --> 1650.20] to surrender
[1650.20 --> 1651.10] to Your will
[1651.10 --> 1652.86] and cooperate
[1652.86 --> 1653.84] with Your Spirit
[1653.84 --> 1655.96] so that You might use us
[1655.96 --> 1657.12] in the building
[1657.12 --> 1657.74] of Your kingdom,
[1657.88 --> 1658.64] in our marriages,
[1659.10 --> 1659.76] in our friendships,
[1660.06 --> 1660.94] in our workplaces,
[1661.28 --> 1662.18] in our neighborhoods.
[1662.56 --> 1662.70] Lord,
[1662.86 --> 1663.60] use us.
[1664.12 --> 1665.40] Use us to be a blessing
[1665.40 --> 1666.92] through Your power.
[1667.16 --> 1667.90] In Jesus' name,
[1668.34 --> 1668.56] Amen.
[1668.56 --> 1668.68] Amen.
