0:00:00 - 0:00:28 Hi. Uh, oh, I'm not sure if I, I caught that. Hi. Um, so it's a little after noon today, November 19th, uh, 2023. And I just had a quick thought. So, uh, I'm sitting here writing and I, I took a break. I'm coming back from the break. I had a little chat with my wife, got a little snacky, whatever, um 0:00:28 - 0:00:53 , uh, drink and I sat back down and kind of just checked a bunch of stuff real quick. Um, ended up making two shorter videos on, um, news articles that have been sitting on my phone for a while, uh, queued up for that purpose. I left the tabs open so I wouldn't forget to make those videos and, um, got 0:00:53 - 0:01:17 those kicked off on the upload. So, on my, my laptop, it's where I've made the videos. I've got uploading one of two right in my face on this, on this youtube app and then on my phone, I've been uploading these two videos. That's the upload for like two days now because youtube is stupid and the app 0:01:17 - 0:01:43 is terrible. And for some reason, it takes so long to upload videos off my phone. Um, it's much faster to airdrop them to my laptop and then upload them that way. So, what do you care about all this? Well, um, it's just so interesting to me to think about how I uh my full time job is not making videos 0:01:42 - 0:00:00 . Um I don't even spend the majority of my ministry time making videos. I spend most of that time uh communing with God and usually writing as a part of that process. So I spend most of that time writing and I've got, you know, well, over 8000 pages of content that I've been working on. I processed, 0:00:00 - 0:02:37 I processed over 3000 pages of notes in the last 12 months um that I had 3000 pages of notes at the beginning of a year ago. And I added at least another 800 pages of notes through the year as I was processing the 3000 pages. And it's so interesting because I've got videos queued up until March right 0:02:36 - 0:02:59 now. Nearly every day already. They're made, they're uploaded, they're ready to go. If I get hit by a bus today or tomorrow, they will still publish until March. I just got a message from someone a couple of minutes ago who said, hey, I saw your video yesterday and it really affected me. I said, you 0:02:59 - 0:03:18 gotta tell me what you're talking about because I probably made that video three months ago. Sometimes I'll publish them right away. Sometimes I'll queue them up for months at a time. And um, that's just the stream that, that I'm in. But it's kind of like, you know, that scene of the matrix where after 0:03:18 - 0:03:42 Neo finds out who he is, he's just kind of repelling the agent. Who was this obstacle that no one could overcome until he figured himself out. And um, after that, he's, he's just sort of contemplating the universe while he's fighting this agent. And it's almost like it's in slow motion. And it's funny 0:03:41 - 0:03:59 because the content I create, you might say like, yeah, it's real obvious that you're not putting a whole lot of time into it. And I actually am probably for every hour that I publish, I make maybe 20 minutes worth of videos that, that end up getting deleted and it just doesn't make the quality cut or 0:03:59 - 0:04:19 I find out that the idea is a lot less refined than I thought it was and it'll end up hurting people rather than helping. So it gets deleted. But um here we are with the bandwidth, the channels full, right? I don't mean literally the youtube channel, but that's part of it where um the number of views 0:04:18 - 0:04:39 it goes down the more videos I published. Not, not because people don't like it. I'm sure there are people who don't like it, but um there you only have so much time to watch it and this is still real early folks. I haven't scratched the surface on hardly anything yet. Um, so as a man, if I'm cranking 0:04:39 - 0:05:03 all this stuff out, just imagine how much God has to share with you and the limits that he's under by, uh, that you impose on him. So time is one of the biggest ones. And I've told you for a while now, you need more time. Normal life can't fit exceptional revelation. It just doesn't work. You need to 0:05:03 - 0:05:29 make space. And um here's an example, right? So I just thought that was a funny little idea that was worth sharing. Um That, that the Lord, he says he'll open the windows of heaven and there will not be room to receive. And it's funny because here we are with all this technology and more convenience 0:05:28 - 0:05:51 , more discretionary time than the world has ever seen. And he's just barely scratching the surface through one person here. It's just the tiniest taste of things to come and most people are already overflowed. There's no place to put it. So that's something to think about. Jesus said to pray that uh 0:00:00 - 0:00:28 Hi. Uh, oh, I'm not sure if I, I caught that. Hi. Um, so it's a little after noon today, November 19th, uh, 2023.

And he's just barely scratching the surface through one person here. It's just the tiniest taste of things to come and most people are already overflowed. There's no place to put it. So that's something to think about. Jesus said to pray that uh 0:05:51 - 0:06:09 that the Father would send more laborers to the field. And I'd say right now, it might be a good thing to pray that God makes them space in your life for greater truth because there's no place to put it already. And he's barely scratching the surface.
