Summary
Are you exhausted from doing the right things but seeing no results?
In this message, Sarah Jakes Roberts unpacks 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 to reveal why weariness may be our greatest spiritual enemy, and how to defeat it. Drawing from the lives of Paul, Moses, and David, she challenges us to stop seeking yesterday’s solutions for today’s battles. God doesn’t need to repeat the same strategy twice, and neither should we.
The key is learning to sow in the Spirit. Not for an immediate harvest, but in obedience to the process.
When we guard our hearts and stay sensitive to what God is doing in this specific moment, we position ourselves to recognize the harvest we’ve already been standing in.
If you’ve been fighting the wrong battle with the wrong weapon, this message is for you.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Potter's House podcast. |
| 0:04.3 | You are home away from home. |
| 0:06.7 | Stay a while as the Word of God restores your hope and transforms your life. |
| 0:12.4 | My subject for those of you who like to take notes is this time is different. |
| 0:18.5 | If I can offer a little bit of context to what's happening when we engage in this moment in the text. |
| 0:26.6 | Throughout Corinthians, Paul is writing a letter to the church in Corinth. |
| 0:30.4 | Throughout 2 Corinthians, when we're reading this, we see a version of Paul that is pleasant and kind and understanding as he's trying to teach these new |
| 0:41.2 | converts what it means to walk in their newfound faith and their belief in Jesus. |
| 0:47.7 | But in chapter 10, the tone takes a noticeable shift. So noticeable is this shift that some theologians question whether or not he is the author of this moment in the text. |
| 1:01.2 | You see, what happens is that Paul is writing to the church for sure, and there's been some division in the church and some issues. |
| 1:07.7 | And so he's bringing clarity and he's doing it in love and kindness. |
| 1:10.5 | But there's also |
| 1:11.6 | some rumors about Paul that are circulating amongst the church. And the rumors about Paul that are |
| 1:18.3 | circulating amongst the church suggests that when he writes the letters, he writes with a certain |
| 1:23.7 | level of fierceness and courage and directness. |
| 1:27.9 | But when he's in person with them, he's more meek and humble. |
| 1:33.0 | If I could put it in Ibonics, which always helps me when I'm reading the Bible. |
| 1:39.7 | It's like you talking, but you ain't walking the way you talking, you know, like you're |
| 1:43.3 | not really about that life. Like you wait until you get away from the way you talking you know like you're not really about that |
| 1:44.3 | life like you right wait until you get away from us to talk crazy to us but when we face to face |
| 1:49.1 | you don't have nothing to say that's what they're trying to say about paul they're trying to say |
| 1:54.5 | you're not really about that life for real you wait until you get long where you need a messenger |
