the devil fought so hard to keep you from hearing this video but I'm glad it finally got to you there were two guys sitting in the coffee shop and one of them says hey man I can't help but notice you only di the tea bag into the water in your cup only like three times and then you put it on the side the guy say I know he said I don't like my tea that strong he say but I can't help but notice you left the teabag in your cup for like 15 minutes he said what's up with that the guy looked at him in his eye he said it's cuz I like my tee strong man but the real question is how strong do you want your relationship with God do you just want to dip in dip out dip in dip out dip in dip out no that ain't how you should want your relationship with God to be you got to stay in the cup you got to stay in his presence you want your relationship with you want your relationship with God to be strong so why not stay in his presence when you go through a situation instead of calling everybody hey you hey why not say Lord I give it all to you you get it get stronger it get your dependence on him grows and it grow grows and it grows we got to learn to stay in the cup many times we think I'mma dip in on Sunday dip out dip in on and we don't do nothing else the the whole rest of the week you can't survive off eating one time on Sunday you ever ate on Sunday and say I'm going to eat again next sun no it needs to be a everyday thing God wants you to have a personal relationship with them in other words God wants full custody not just weekend visits God wants you to stay in his presence homie had the homie had yeah homie had the teabag and they just keing in that why he like his te strong and God want you to spend more time with him because in the midst of this wicked world watch this the Bible says in Romans chapter uh uh 12 well I'm going to read verse 1 and two but I want to focus on verse 12 uh 12 ver 2 121 says I beseech you therefore brother by the mercy of God that you present your body a Living Sacrifice holy and acceptable to God which is your reasonable service watch this in verse uh number two says do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind see we renew our mind by renewing our mind to the mind of Christ which is getting into his word because he changes us sometimes we read the Bible we say I ain't really understand that it's okay Demarcus if you don't understand the Bible sometime because the Bible understands you because God's word is quick and as quick and alive is sharpening any two-edged sword piercing the joints and a marrow in other words God word can make an incision with Precision that lead you to make the decision and choose to step out and walk by faith don't worry about understanding it all the time God wants you to dwell on it and think about it that's why he says in Joshua chapter 1:8 this book of the law keep this book of the law always on your lips meaning continually speak it and spread the good news he say uh and then you shall meditate on it therein day and night so that you'll be prosperous in all that you do you got me so God listen it's okay if you don't understand stand it right now and face value he going to give you the Revelation but you got to stay in the cup you got to stay in the cup dip in the cup and take off running God God trying to show you what what this mean think about the word Ponder pay attention to consider dwell you got to stay in the cup got another scripture for you I'm in Psalms I'm at chapter 16 verse 11 it says you will show me the way of life oo Grant to me the joy of your presence o and the pleasures of living with you forever o o oh God wants you to get in his his joy in his presence listen to me can I be real with you sometimes I may be going through a rough situation and I don't know what to do you know what I do I lift my hands and say lord it's all yours Lord Lord you know I can't fight this battle and you know what the Lord put on my heart Demarcus that battle ain't never been yours in the first place I'm talking to you too that battle ain't never been yours in the first place who are you trying to You Look Silly let God fight your battles because see the devil's arms are too short to box with God you got me let God fight your battles the Bible says be still and know that I'm God when you in the cup you you you in his presence you're not fighting he fighting for you you got me he fighting your battles for you get the word of God into your heart today cuz listen to I'll leave you with this when you invite Faith through the front door fear runs out the back door because faith and fear cannot inhabit the same place at the same time Faith stands for forward action and trusting him it also stands for fear a't in this house fear stands for f you you uh forget everything in run don't do that it also stands for f you've been forgetting the goodness of God e you envision the worst and not the best meaning you thinking about what could go wrong instead of what could go right have you considered God have you checked this track record he's undefeated so since you are in him you're a winner and undefeated as well Victory ain't something you achieve like a goal no Victory is something you receive as a gift because of he in whom you believe to be your savior a you've accepted defeat before the fight or if youve rejected God's way of doing it which is staying planted in his word choosing to walk by faith and not by and trusting more in God's ability to succeed rather than your own inability to fail you got me watch this we invite Faith through the front door here's what happens when you get the word of God into your into yourself when you choose to get into the cup even if you get listen it don't it it don't it don't matter it don't matter what you've been through forget about your past if you've asked God for forgiveness you've been cleansed stop bringing up old stuff man let's start let's let's let's let's start let's start fresh today cuz see when you've been forgiven watch this God when he looks at you he doesn't see your sin he sees his son cuz you're covered by the blood of Jesus and his sacrifice so in Christ you a new creation all things have passed away behold he has made all things new you feel me so watch this when we invite Faith through the front door see I got faith come on in faith the Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God so listen to me faith comes by hearing see the word of God is being brought to you right now so Faith Comes so you got to be able to receive it you got me faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God so you invite Faith through the front door What Fear got to do fear got to run out the back door because faith and fear cannot inhabit the same place at the same time just like I'mma Be Real just like when you driving and you you know what I'm saying if nobody in the car you know what I'm saying well maybe you know yeah sometimes other people be in there but if you like pass gas you know what I'm saying but you know how you do you do it you pretend like it ain't you you know what I'm saying hey the more people you got in the vehicle the more you can pass gas cuz it's more people they can't figure out who did it you saying but but anyway when you pass gas what you do you wind two windows down what's going it's going to clear out get the word of God in you and he can clear out your mind if it's cloudy and I'll leave you with this right here the
