Sometimes God puts placeholders, seat holders, in your seat, just to keep it warm until it's your turn.

Don't wrestle with a seat holder when you have not yet received your invitation.

He doesn't want you to visit the seat.

He created you to sit in.

He wants you to steward it for all of the days he has divinely appointed for you to

steward it. It's easy for any insecurity in you to hear it. Well, God's saying I'm not ready.

Yeah, that may be part of it. It also just might not be time yet. While you are sleeping,

God is always working. Welcome to the leaders cut. If you don't know why we call it that,

this isn't a podcast for leaders. The leader, capital L, is the one we all follow. And scripture

talks about in the Old Testament, it was the circumcision of the flesh

in the New Testament. It was the circumcision of the heart that God loves to cut on our flesh,

getting it completely out of his way. So if you never joined us, just know,

especially in an episode like this, wherever your

flesh is, this is about to be cut all over. So let's pray and let's invite the Spirit of God

to the table and let's make sure we're sitting down at his spirit of the living God.

I don't even know why, but theologically I do.

But my mind can't wrap itself around the fact that you let me sit at your table,

you let us sit at your table, you sit at our table, you dwell within us.

I don't ever want to get over it.

I never want to approach these sit downs,

these episodes as just something to do. They're not to me. I know you've put me on assignment to deliver your mail to my brothers and sisters and I can feel your burden for it. So Holy Spirit, I pray that you

would anoint me to be able to deliver your mail. I pray you would open each of our hearts up
