I'm going to talk to you tonight about the disastrous results of uselessness.

The disastrous results of uselessness, not sin, uselessness.

And we're going to come out of Luke 13.

I'm going to read verses 6 through 9, and I'm going to do some of this a little bit out of what I generally do, different from what I generally do. I'm not going to give you a bunch of different scripture references. I'm not going to give you a bunch of words from different languages and all that jazz. I'm going to just basically marry these few verses. And for the next hour, we're going to talk about some things that I believe the Lord is wanting to sow into this community.

But I do want you to see everything that I'm about to say in light of the prophetic word that we just received,

that this is the finishing season.

And I believe in the finishing season, God wants to deal with everything from you don't tithe to you're lazy to you have a bad confession.

I mean, we need to across the board move into the greatest season of microscopic examination of every area of our life. David said, search me,

oh God, and know my heart. Try me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the everlasting life.

David was asking for examination. And I feel like that's where we are right now.

Between now and October, God's going to deal, by the time you get to October, God's going to be dealing with issues in you.

You didn't even know we're an issue tonight. But I found out the thing about God taking us through a real process of consecration and sanctification

is that it comes in levels.

And there are things in my life right now that I am calling sin that I would not have called sin five years ago.

But listen, the cleaner you get, the more committed you become to the process of seeing

absolute fulfillment of the ideology that you can be the reflection of Almighty God.

Are you with me?

So Luke 13 and beginning in verse 6, he also spoke this parable.

A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard.

Say fig tree. And he came seeking fruit on it and found none. Look at verse seven. Then he said to the

keeper of his vineyard, look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and found none.

Cut it down.
