This is the greatest hour to follow Jesus.

On the way here, I was talking to my father-in-law,

and I don't usually talk to people.

There's like less than a, well, I could count them on one hand who I would talk to before I preached.

I don't like to do that.

I found that the devil can use people's bad news to jack you up in case you haven't discovered that. Thus, the glory of social media. Not that it is bad by nature,

but my Lord can, and I've been touching on this the last few weeks

because I have actually put mine away for the most part.

I have people running it, so if you're mad that you didn't get liked or commented back

to it, it's our yell at the staff.

But I just feel like, for me personally, I have to hear the Lord.

And it's amazing how much more time I have to be in the Word and hear from God, how much

more clear I am.

And as your pastor, I'm just kind of letting you into my journey right now

certainly would not put a weight on you I don't believe that

Jesus invites us he doesn't throw burdens on us he invites us through his own life

another thing I've done is I've added an extra hour to my time with the Lord

during the day.

So I spend about two hours in the morning and now I've added another hour in the evening.

And I'm about to go away for two or three days just to pray and be with the Lord.

So I'm hoping that that'll get into you guys, that it'll seep into you.

You need to hear the Lord right now.
