Speaker: God doesn't take me backwards, He takes me deeper. And the deeper that He goes, the quieter the work becomes. So brothers, in this season, God is slowing me down in ways that I've never experienced before.
Speaker: And it's not to expose weakness, like through the years he's exposed a lot of weakness, but to reveal the deeper architecture beneath the man that I've already become.
Speaker: There are layers in us that only surface when God decides it's time. Old survival patterns that shaped us long before we had any of this language about survival or or any of that.
Speaker: And as I've slowed down, I've started seeing them. I started seeing that architecture, the the patterns, the instinct to stay ahead of the moment, the reflex to respond quickly, the pressure as a man to always be on. That part doesn't, it's not out of fear, but because that's how I learned when I was young,
Speaker: to stand strong. And now, God is touching those deeper layers, not to undo me, not to undo the work or the growth or the surrender, but it's to refine me.
Speaker: This is the slow holy work of sacrifice, stillness, letting buried truth rise, silence, letting God speak where patterns used to react, sacrifice, releasing defenses that serve me once, but they don't serve me anymore.
Speaker: and in that service is this yielding to the transformation only the spirit can finish.
Speaker: So today's obedience is simple, simple, slow down, speak less, feel what's real and let God rewrite the deeper layers for me that my strength alone couldn't, couldn't, it has not, and could not ever reach.
Speaker: And so
Speaker: Again, this is the slow holy work of sacrifice, but I am giving myself over to it completely. So, fly sovereign, strike savage.
