This is an I-Heart podcast.
Guaranteed Human.
Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.
I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast.
I wanted to thank you for joining us today.
Hope this inspires you.
Hope it builds your faith.
Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life.
Enjoy the message.
The front to the back say, hallelujah.
Luke chapter 11.
Luke chapter 11.
A familiar scripture for our Bible study today
remain standing for the Word of God.
I want to welcome you from wherever this message is finding you.
I pray that this word today finds you blessed.
And if not, maybe it'll leave you blessed when we get done.
I found out God never leaves me like he found me.
He meets me where I am, but he loves me too much to leave me there.
So however you came in today, go ahead and say goodbye to it right now,
because you are not returning to that state of mind.
when you leave this church today in Jesus' name.
Are y'all all right if we just sing a bunch of new songs all month of September?
All right, we're going to declare it, new song, September.
And then we will culminate on September the 26th with a big old recording.
Y'all going to come in here singing at the top of your lungs.
September 25th.
If you come on September 26th, you're going to be singing solo.
Solo they can't hear you.
I'm a happy man.
I have a full phone.
We have so many new songs to share with you, and I thank God for it.
Today the Word of the Lord comes from Luke, Chapter 11, and I thank him for the deposit
and the download that he gave me.
And I want to share it with you now, just like he gave it to me.
Luke chapter 11, and you'll recognize it once we get to verse number two.
One day Jesus was praying, in a certain place.
When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, just as John
taught his disciples.
Now I'm going to read this.
That was in the NIV version where I normally read.
I'm going to read this in the New King James Version because it's more familiar to many of us who heard it growing up.
So if you're confused looking on your Bible, this is a little different translation than we normally use.
So he said to them, when you pray, say, our Father in Heaven, hallow it be your name.
There is no other name.
Hallow it be your name.
There is no other name.
Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread and forgive us our sins.
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us.
from the evil one. How many want God to do that for you today? Deliver me from the evil one.
Somebody shout, deliver me. Yeah, deliver us from the evil one. I really read all of the scriptures
to get to that part. Deliver us from the evil one. The title of my message today is
delivered daily. Delivered daily.
Put that into comments, please.
Delivered daily.
Say it out loud.
Say delivered daily.
And turn around and tell three people, God can get you out of this.
Come on, tell them with some confidence and charisma.
Tell them with some eye contact.
Say, God can get you out of this.
Put it in the comments.
I don't care what it is.
I don't care if it's a financial mess.
I don't care if it's a relational mess.
God can get you out of this.
If it's in a pit with a snowy day in a lion, God can get you out of this.
Yeah.
If it's in a lion's sin, God can get you out of this.
We thank you, God, for your deliverance now in this place.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
You may be seated.
I believe God can get you out of this.
Well, you don't know what it is.
Don't need to.
I checked his resume.
He got some people out of some stuff.
sometimes in the Bible. God can get you out of this. Maybe your mom can't. Maybe she's broke
too, but God can get you out of this. Maybe your husband can't. Maybe he's depressed too,
but God can get you out of this. Maybe your staff can't. Maybe they're overwhelmed too,
but God can get you out of this. Maybe your business partner can't. Maybe he's worried too,
but God can get you out of this. Nobody said amen.
All right, well, let me give you a testimony then, since you're going to do me like that today up here.
I'm privy pastorally to a lot of people sharing more extreme situations than the average bear.
People walk out to me and tell me stuff that honestly I don't have a license to hear.
I mean, you get everything, and I mean everything, everything, don't we?
Holly's standing there eating an ice cream cone one time in downtown Charleston, and a lady came up crying.
And Holly was stuck because she's like, is really hot outside, and she's like, do I?
The other day, a man came up to me at Abby's soccer game.
He blessed my whole day, and he helped me figure out how I wanted to preach this message to you.
He was very emotional when we met.
He said, you don't know what this means to me.
I never thought I'd get to tell you.
Your ministry saved my life.
I said, thank you, man.
That means a lot.
Praise the Lord.
He said, no, you don't get it.
You don't understand.
I mean, I'm sorry.
I'm kind of...
I'm former military, a lot of PTSD.
My daughter's about to go out there and play soccer, man.
And I'm talking about I went from a gun in my mouth to watching my daughter play soccer.
So thank you, man.
So then I gave him a bigger hug.
The whole soccer season was worth me getting to meet you.
He goes, yeah, I didn't know whether to come up.
At first I didn't recognize you with your beard.
Now that threw me, because I didn't have a beard for...
A minute.
I had a beard for about a decade.
I said, I thought you went to the church.
I said, this.
Do you still go to the church?
Now we're laughing, right?
We're laughing, and we already had our emotional moment.
So I could pick on him a little bit.
And I said, bro, you ought to know I have a beard.
You ought to have seen me since I had a beard.
What happened?
I wanted to bring my teaching screen, because I think this is going to be the most helpful if
I make it visual.
If you think about what he shared with me when we met, it had a very dramatic sound to
it.
And I believe that God does miracles.
I do believe that people flush the pills instead of swallowing them when God brings
them out.
I do believe that.
I do believe that God can take away the taste for alcohol and you say, I don't even know
how I drink it.
It feels like urine in my refrigerator now.
I don't want it.
I believe that God can do that.
I ain't going to clip me for talking about urine in the refrigerator, but I'm good with it.
And the main thing I want you to know is that God can get you out of this, but I want to be very careful with my summary.
And I believe the reason that some of us are slow to applaud when I say it is because you've heard it before.
And he did, and then it didn't.
So the way I saw it as I was breaking down what he said to me, he said, I went from a very low place.
a horrible place, the worst place. I wanted to end my life from the things that I've been through
and the things that I can't forget. And now God brought me to a much better place. Look at us out here
on the soccer field. But that beard made me ask him, what's been going on in between from and two?
And he said, well, I kind of been going through some things.
And I realize that when God brings you from something, zoom all the way out, team.
I need you to get that screen.
Thank you very much.
When God brings you from something to something, it does not always feel like a straight line.
Sometimes it takes you through a red sea that is even scarier than the slavery that God brought you from.
And I realize that not only he, but everybody in this room today is not only going from something to something,
but there is something that you are going through as you are going to.
Say from?
Say to
Say through
No wonder Jesus told the disciples
When you pray
Not if you pray
You better pray
And when you do
Pray like this
Elbow your neighbor in their ribs and say you better pray
Tell them I looked at your TikTok
You better pray
I saw your Snapchat, you better pray
I met your wife
Don't say that to them
I met your kids
You better pray.
Put it in the chat.
You better pray.
Because it is just not that simple when God delivers you.
You see how Jesus says it in verse 3.
I want to read it again.
He says, but deliver us from the evil one.
I was talking to another friend this week, and they said, oh, I've got great news about
our friend.
And our other friend was someone who had really, really damaged a lot of relationships and
disappointed a lot of people.
and the amount of dysfunction and betrayal was incredible with this person.
And my friend was telling me, oh, it's all better now.
They got delivered.
And I smiled, but I doubted it.
I doubted it.
And I felt bad that I doubted it.
Because why do I believe it when it's in the Bible?
But I don't believe it when it's somebody that betrayed me.
And when Jesus talks about forgive them, you know, and freedom, they're, there are
There are three elements to this model prayer.
We call it the Lord's prayer, but it's really just Jesus pulling his disciples aside and saying,
here's how you do it.
When you pray, you want to know how to do it.
You want to know how to avoid the things that God wants to take you over, and you want
to know how to rise up above the things that you're crushed up under.
When you pray, pray like this.
Our Father in heaven, hallow be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done.
So first is about his priorities.
But then when you start praying about provision, I want you to think in three terms.
He uses food.
He uses forgiveness, and he uses freedom.
He says, God's going to give you bread.
God's going to give you the ability to forgive, and he's going to give you forgiveness for your sins,
and you don't really get to experience one without the other.
And so Jesus says there's going to be food, there's going to be forgiveness.
And then he makes this promise.
He says, deliver us from the evil one.
Now, when you were saved, you were not just saved by God through Jesus from your sins.
You were saved to walk in the newness of life.
I said, you weren't just saved from hell.
It's not just so you won't pop like Orville Redenbockers one day while a guy with a pitchfork stands over you.
Burn, burn, burn.
I'm not just saved from something that's going to happen one day.
I am saved today to walk in the newness of life, not one day when, but here and now.
Matter of fact, this is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
God saved me from and God saved me too, but that does not negate the fact that I am going through.
And he told me I went from wanting to end my life to standing here with my daughter
But to be honest with you this is what he said next. He said I've been going back to some things
I've been going back and I didn't embarrass him. I said I get it
We all go back sometimes
I will embarrass you if you keep looking at me like you're so holy you never go back sometimes
The Lord will give me the spirit of prophecy and I'll call out your sin so specific and I'll alphabetize them and I'll say
in Greek. I've been going back. He said, well, that made me think not only about the Lord's
prayer where he said, deliver us from the evil one. And when he said, you should pray this,
it made me think about the central story in the Old Testament to the people of God. Now,
I want to give this to you as quickly as possible. How much do you know about Moses?
Do you know that he lifted up his staff and part of the Red Sea and the people went through?
Okay, so you know that.
Do you know that the people had to walk through walls of water on either side, probably
terrified that they would collapse at any time?
You know that?
So you know that when God brought them from Egypt to the promised land, they had to go through
something to get there.
And they had to go through something that they had never been through before and that people
normally didn't go through.
The good news was they made it.
through, their enemies didn't.
The good news is God used what they went through to free them from what they would have been tempted
to go back to.
Is God using what you're going through?
I believe that He is.
I believe that not only can God get you out of this.
How many have been praying the prayer lately, God, get me out of this in an area of your life?
God, if you get me out of this, I promise.
I will, I promise I'll take notes.
I promise I will listen to, I promise I'll listen to elevation worship.
I promise I'll listen.
I promise God, I promise God if you will get me out.
If that pregnancy test could just come to God, if you could just get me out of this
because I did not mean for it to be a lifelong commitment.
God, get me out of this.
I will never sign a lease again on a card.
It costs me $17,000 a month to look stupid driving down the road in traffic.
People aren't paying attention.
And I got ulcers.
God, get me out of this.
Get me out of this, God.
If you will get me out of this.
And then, you know, like, we were in the hospital with Elijah earlier this summer,
and I'm like, God, if you get me out of this, I'll take the whole church on a mission trip.
God, we'll go to India.
I'll launch elevation Calcutta.
God, whatever you do, orphans, widows, beggars, whatever, bring them on, God.
And, you know, 10 minutes after you get out of it, you're eating ice cream.
Because sometimes deliverance isn't always dramatic.
That's what I want to say to you today.
Because I think you've been discouraged because you've been thinking, oh, I thought I was through with this.
But now I'm going back.
And if we ask you, you'll share your testimony that you went from death to life.
But sometimes where is my pen, Jesus?
Huh?
I put it on the thing?
Yeah.
I find myself going back to what he brought me from.
Don't you?
I met a lady who was telling me she lost 80 pounds.
I said, congratulations.
She said, don't congratulate me so quick.
I said, 80 pounds sounds like a reason to celebrate.
She said, no, because 10 years ago I lost 110 and I put it all back on.
I went back.
No, no, no, that's not funny.
I don't say that as a joke.
I don't say that to shame her.
We all have things that we thought we were.
through with. We all have places we thought we had arrived too. But now I want to go back.
And isn't amazing with the Israelites? You know, it's a crazy story. God brings them from Egypt.
They were enslaved for 430 years. They pray for God to bring them from that place. Deliver us, Lord.
God sends a deliver. And they're in an interesting predicament. They are out of Egypt,
but they have nothing to eat because they are going through the wilderness.
Isn't that tricky when you're out of Egypt, but you've got nothing to eat?
And if you go to Exodus chapter 16, verse 2 through 4, it gives us an interesting glimpse
of what happens in our life.
Somebody say, God, get me out of this.
I know I'm asking you to multitask and look up the screen.
at the same time you say something. But say it again, God, get me out of this. Say, God,
if you get me out of this, I'll give you all the glory. I'll tithe 25%. God, get me out of this.
So they prayed, right? They prayed for years and years. God, deliver us from Pharaoh.
Pharaoh was the one who was making them make bricks without straw. Just get us.
us out of this, God, if you get us out of this, we'll serve you.
In fact, when they crossed over the Red Sea, they were shaking tambourines and singing about
the horse and the rider.
The original disc track was sung by the prophetess Miriam in Exodus chapter 15.
That's a true story.
And just after they made it through the sea, they found themselves not in Egypt, God delivered
them from Egypt, but they are not yet to the promise.
the promised land, and they have come through the Red Sea, but they are now in the desert,
and they are starving, and they are hungry, and they are uncomfortable, and they are disoriented,
because the desert is disorienting.
It's not where you're going, and it's not where you came from, and you don't know what
to do in this season, and that can cause tremendous anxiety.
And so they begin to grumble.
Look at Exodus chapter 16, verse 2.
Can I teach the Bible today?
In the desert, the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
The Israelites said to them,
If only we had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt,
there we sat around pots of meat
and ate all the carnivore diet we wanted,
but you have brought us out from this land
into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.
Today I'm speaking to somebody who feels like you are dying in a desert.
You are not in the from, you are not into two, you are into through.
And God did some amazing things from you.
And he delivered you from some evil things, some wicked things.
But you kind of go back sometimes, don't you?
You kind of go back.
Some scholars say that it should have taken them three weeks to go through the desert.
But they got stuck there for 40 years because what should have been a line through the desert turned into a loop and around and around
They went and around and around we go and God saved me
But I still struggle with that and God healed me, but I still have some pain from that and I forgave them
But I wanted to flip them off when I saw him the other day and it came out of nowhere because I have been praying for them and
I was almost two. Come on, y'all help me shout. I'll preach quicker. I'll have you out for lunch if you will help me shout. You know there are some bondages that keep pulling you back. That keep pulling you back because I'm not in heaven yet. And I am saved. I'm healed. I'm delivered. I'm redeemed. I am cleansed. I am watched by the blood of the lamb. I'm a child of God. I'm the righteousness of Christ. And all of that is true. I am brought from the dominion of darkness and saved to the king.
kingdom of his marvelous lights to declare the praises of him who brought me out of darkness into his
marvelous light. But on my way into the marvelous light, I am going through some darkness that I
thought I was done with, but I wound up in this desert, and now I'm kind of hungry, and I have
nothing to eat, and I'm kind of mad about it, and I'm kind of wondering, would it be better
for me to go back? But if I keep going back to what God saved me from, I'm going to spend 40 years,
I'm going to spend a whole lifetime, and I've been going around this mountain long enough,
and I do not intend to get stuck in this same place that my mama was in, that her mama was in,
that his, her daddy was in.
I intend to break a generational chain in the name of Jesus.
Chain's break, dry bones wake.
I do not intend to name every bone in the valley.
I intend to go through it.
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
This is not a place for me to build a house.
This is not a place for me to build an identity.
This is not a place for me to lay down and die.
I'm taking this gun out of my mouth, and I shall live.
God can get you out of this.
God can get you out of this.
Tell seven people God can get you out of this.
God can get you out of this.
God can get you out of this.
I'm not telling you what I think.
I'm not telling you what I feel.
I'm telling you what I've seen.
I'm telling you what I know.
God can get you out of this.
But he wants something more when he does.
He wants glory out of it.
And so the Bible says that they grumbled.
And we would too.
Y'all are kind of mad right now because I'm preaching a little long.
And there's air conditioning in this building.
And they're in the desert with nothing to eat and no idea where it's going to come from.
Now watch this, because I am about to set you up.
And even when I'm telling you that, you're going to shout when I read this verse.
But I am setting you up.
So I advise you not to shout when I read the verse.
But you're going to shout anyway because you're too good.
Then the Lord said to Moses,
I will rain down bread from heaven for you.
See?
Impossible.
Try not to shout challenge.
I mean, the Lord said, did you hear what he said, Jethro?
He said, he's going to rain down bread from heaven.
Your kingdom come, your will be done.
On earth, as it is, he's going to rain down bread from heaven.
Real quick, GT.
They would have known this story when he was teaching it to the disciples.
When he said, give us this day, our daily bread, that triggered a memory for them, not one that they lived through when they heard about.
Because they heard about how the Israelites went through the Red Sea, from Egypt to Canaan, through the Red Sea.
The Egyptians drowned, they didn't.
Got into desert, wanted to die, and God said, I will rain down bread.
from heaven.
For you.
For you.
The Lord is your provider.
The Lord is your sustainer.
The Lord is your satisfier.
The Lord is your fulfillment.
The Lord is your deliver.
God delivers on his promise.
And I am happy for these people.
Did you hear what?
He going to rain it down.
Now, the last.
The last time they saw something raining down out of the sky was in Egypt.
When God started dropping frogs, you remember this?
To get Pharaoh to let his people go.
But now God said, when you look up, you're not going to see frogs, you're going to see
manna.
You know what manna means?
What is it?
Because you're not going to know what it is, but it's from me.
I don't know what it is, but it's from God.
I don't know what to call it yet, but it's from God.
I don't know how to label it yet, but I don't even want to label it, because if I label
it, I limit it.
I don't know what it is, but I'm going to give God time to show me what he's doing in my life.
And he said, I will rain down bread from heaven for you.
And don't you know they wrote a song about that?
Bread from heaven.
Rain on us.
Bread from heaven rain on us.
Rain on us.
Bread of heaven going to rain, rain, rain, rain.
You know, different denominations had different versions of it, but they're all singing about
the bread and the rain and the food.
So, stay with me now.
Stay with me now.
He said, I'm going to make it rain.
Oh, it's going to be amazing.
But there is a condition on this provision.
It's going to rain down bread from heaven for you.
He's going to provide for you.
I'm saying this to you now.
I'm not talking to them.
I'm talking to you.
God is going to provide for you,
but there's going to be a condition on the provision.
And here it is.
The people are to go out each day.
and gather enough for that day. In this way? In what way? By gathering enough for this day.
Everybody say this day? God said, I am going to make it rain so much bread from heaven for you that it's going to feed millions.
But the bread that comes down from heaven, that's the promise, the provision, is going to be set with a certain condition.
the people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day in this way.
That's how God's going to do it.
You are going to open up your tent tomorrow morning, and there will be manna.
And it will be enough for you and your family that day.
It will be enough for you that day.
But if you expect there to be enough manna to fill your pantry, you're going to be disappointed.
Because I am going to provide for you in such a way that makes it impossible for you to depend on the supply more than you depend on the source.
So it's going to be enough for now.
Say enough for now.
And that's what God has given you.
Enough for now.
You're not supposed to do all of your breathing by 9 a.m.
Imagine if you try.
What are you doing?
Get my breath in.
I got to get my steps in.
I got to get my breaths in.
It doesn't work like that.
You get one breath, then another breath.
You get one breath, then another breath.
And when you go through something so terrible, you can't even talk about it.
Your job description gets really simple.
Next breath.
Next breath.
I'm talking to somebody who it is so terrible what you're going through right now.
You have no idea what to do.
I came to give you clarity.
Next breath.
And if he fills your lungs with the next breath, then you say, hallelujah.
That's your response.
And if he fills your lungs with the next breath, then you move forward.
That's your response.
And if he gives you the next breath, why not give him the best,
praise you can give him with the breath that he gave you. And if it works with the breath,
watch this. It will work with the bread. Because Jesus said, pray like this. Give us this day,
our monthly stipend. Give us this day, our 10-year plan. Give us this day our retirement. Give us this day, our
retirement age.
Give us this day
what we need from
this day, and the only
one who knows what I need for this
day is the one who's already
in tomorrow. Working
all things. I feel like preaching
together for the good
of those that love him.
High five,
somebody say, it's going to happen
today. It's going to
happen today.
It's going to happen today.
Hey, this is one thing that God and Amazon have in common.
This is one thing that Jesus and Jeff Bezos have in common.
They both do same day delivery.
So I'm saying, God, so I'm saying,
weeping may endure for the night.
But joy comes.
I'm not talking about toilet paper at your doorstep.
I'm talking about truth in your heart.
I'm talking about God to give you the word you need for this day.
You better read that thing today.
By Monday morning, this message will be moldy.
You can't eat a moldy message.
You've got to open your phone tomorrow morning and say this day.
God said, I'm going to give you enough.
I'm going to give you enough for now.
Now, if you insist that you in six,
on trying to deal with anything beyond the parameters of the promise of your strength for today.
Expect to feel stressed.
You are stuck in something that one preacher called the loop when it was meant to be a line.
Pray like this, he said.
Give us this day.
Man, I found out you can never give up on God.
The Lord is like an MMA fighter.
He will let it look like the devil is winning all five of us.
rounds. And then he will find the weirdest hole to put the devil in. The Lord can work with
anything too. You ever seen an MMA fight, UFC fight, and it looks like they're about to lose,
and all of a sudden they get an arm, and they crank that arm back. And all of a sudden, the
entire five rounds that came before are irrelevant because of something that happened so
quick. I'm telling you what I've seen God do in my life.
Even my own son right now. He's starting to teach the Bible and share God's word with people and I am so proud of him
Living room Charlotte make it a destination
Bucket list trip everybody check it out
But he's starting to understand now that he's teaching the Bible a little bit why dad was in a bad mood
85% of his childhood. Oh, I get it now
No wonder my dad was so like zonked out on Saturday night and
just staring at the wall while we were all eating dinner.
And I tried to do a good job, but boy, he said something to bless me the other day.
Can I share this with you?
He said, I'm coming up dry.
I got nothing for this week.
I said, man, don't talk to me, neither do I?
I'd be like, get your own man.
I'm coming over to my tent trying to take my man up.
But the Lord dealt with me, and I said, all right, all right, right, right.
He texted me the next day, he said, I am dying, I don't know what to do.
And I'm like, God, why can't I have somebody to, like, phone a friend who wants to be
a millionaire?
But he said, I really don't know what to do.
I really don't know what to do.
And I said something to him on text.
I said, I can get you there.
Call me right now.
My phone never rang so quick.
Not from one of my kids.
It's normally like a three business day turnaround with these kids.
Just, boom, instant.
Supply and demand, I guess.
We start talking on the phone.
And I was even in the middle of my workout.
I don't even want to tell you how much weight I was close grip bench, and it'll make you
jealous.
I'm in the middle of my workout.
And I'm like, well, maybe you could share about boom, boom, boom.
It was crazy because I started sharing him what I was going to share with you.
But then I had to have the faith, God had to give me something else.
And when I hung up the phone with him, and he said, I'm ready now.
A message came to me in five minutes.
God can download something.
I'm like, same-day delivery.
Same day delivery.
Didn't have it yesterday.
And you know what Graham said?
He said, I've never experienced anything like that.
I said, what was it?
He said, I went from regretting that I ever even started the Bible study to I wish I could preach it right now in one phone call.
And I am telling you.
that if you call God, I said if you call God, if you call God, you can go from wishing,
I never even did this, to thinking, God, what is it that you have next for me?
And all it's going to take is for you to come to him and say, I need it this day, my daily bread.
I need this day.
Oh, I understand it now.
I've been wanting to go back to Egypt or I've been looking too far forward to and back and two and two and then and God says I want to do something in your life right now, but it's going to be delivered daily. Daily. I don't know who this is for, but it's going to get there when it's supposed to and not a minute before. Because if God did it too quick, you will.
get through it, but he wouldn't get glory from it.
So it's going to get there.
Watch this.
Y'all leaving?
Y'all about to miss a good close.
It's going to get there when it's meant to.
And look at your neighbors.
Say, not a minute before.
Not a minute before.
I'm going to finish this sermon when it's supposed to be over, and not a minute before.
I'm going to finish this sermon when I get through my scripture and not a minute before.
And sometimes God will let you sing praises with Silas in prison all night.
And all night you'll sing and all night you'll praise and the chains will stay all night.
But the Bible says in Acts chapter 16, verse 25, at midnight.
and not a minute before.
It couldn't have happened at 1159.
It had to happen in the morning, because joy comes in the morning, and manna comes in the morning,
and wisdom comes in the morning, and provision comes in the morning, and food comes in the morning,
and forgiveness comes in the morning, and freedom comes in the morning.
And I don't know how I read the Lord's prayer so many times, and I never saw that all three
have the same condition.
The food and the forgiveness and the freedom, the food and the forgiveness and the freedom.
Y'all get ready to help me shout.
I'm so excited.
I never saw it before.
But the food and the forgiveness and the freedom all had the same condition attached to them.
When Jesus said, you pray, you pray to God in heaven, and you just.
You say His name is holy, and you ask for His kingdom to come, and you ask him day by day,
by day, day.
And I always heard that about the food, and I always heard that about the forgiveness, but I never
understood that the same thing that is true about the food and the forgiveness is also true
about the freedom.
I need to be delivered daily.
daily. And yes, you were saved suddenly, but you still need to be delivered daily.
And yes, you are forgiven fully, but you still need to be delivered daily.
And every time you are tempted to go back, go back. Say it again.
When you are tempted to go back, go back. Because this is going to be a daily delivery.
It's going to be a daily delivery.
I don't know about you, but when I say chains, break, I'm not singing about what happened
once.
I need him to break one every day.
How many need God to break a chain today?
He broke one yesterday.
I need another one today.
Because here's why, y'all.
My chains start having baby chains.
I get rid of one.
Here comes another one.
I leave Egypt and here comes wilderness.
This day, my daily bread.
And I believe that the daily deliverance of God is available to every Christian in this room.
I know that God brought them out of Egypt.
But what's wild about it is it only took God 10 plagues to get his people out of Egypt.
It took 40 years to get Egypt out of his people.
So the question really isn't, can God get you out of this?
Is can God get this out of you?
And I believe it can.
You don't have to live with that shame.
God can get it out of you, but it's daily coming to the cross of Christ.
Take communion in your house if you have to.
Don't wait for quarterly communion in church.
Get some welches, get a high sea.
I don't drink a Diet Coke.
God will bless it.
You think it's something holy about the juice we have in here?
We get it from the same publics you get it from.
Drink it in private and let God cleanse you of your sin.
Jesus, Jesus, Daily bread.
I never saw it.
I saw daily bread.
I thought that was what I needed every day.
Oh, he's going to provide.
He's going to give me strength.
Today is, you know, God's and tomorrow is the Lord's and all this.
And I saw that.
But I didn't see that the same condition that is on the food daily is on the deliverance.
So I was shocked by my shackles because I thought they were gone until I found out that just like I can go back to him for provision, just like I can go back to him for forgiveness, I can go back to him and back to him and back to him.
I don't have to go back to Egypt.
I don't have to go back to Pharaoh.
I can go back to my father.
And when you pray, pray like this.
Our Father, which are in head.
Thy name, thy king, thy will be done on earth as it is in head.
George Altman used to sing this in the Methodist church where I grew up.
You say, give us this day our daily bread.
You see what it is?
And forgive us our debts.
What's that chord?
As we forgive our debtors.
Write something like that.
But I never saw that the same daily bread, the same hand that gives me daily bread,
that gives me daily bread is for the daily battle and lead us not into temptation but deliver us
and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us from
me.
