Ed Pastors Fellowship Church, and we want to thank you for listening for that. These next few minutes together can change your life, and you can always hear more by visiting edyoung.com. Enjoy the message. Go ahead and begin.

2:01With just a word of prayer, Father, I have your message to say, and I know that you're gonna use my vocal cords to communicate your truth. Thank you for the result of this time together in Jesus' name, amen. It's been said that we're only as sick as our secrets. And when you think about it, that's so, so true. Think about the word vulnerability for a second. Think about what it means. Vulnerability, when I throw the word out, most of us think it's synonymous with weakness. If you're weak, you're vulnerable, if you're vulnerable, you're weak. Vulnerability is valuable. That's right, vulnerability leads to connectedness. We think otherwise. We say, oh, if I'm vulnerable, if I share my secrets with others, what's on the loop in my mind, what's number one on my playlist,

3:02the inadequacies that I feel, the things that I deal with. If I share all of those inadequacies with others, people will reject me. I'll have a disconnectedness. God is a God of vulnerability. Think about it for a second. God totally and completely vulnerable, sending Jesus to live a sinless life, to die a sacrificial death. I would argue that when Jesus hung on Calvary, paying the price for your sins in mind, that was the most vulnerable act in the universe. Thereby, giving us the opportunity to know God through Christ, only when we're vulnerable enough to admit the truth from our whole heart, only when we have courage enough to say, you know what, this is my junk, this is my funk. I turned from that and turned to you God,

4:03then and only then we discover what true vulnerability is all about. So during this series, we're talking about vulnerability. If you like me, you've got secrets. If you're like me, you've got inadequacies. If you're like me, you have some inferiority. Have you ever thought about the inferiority complex, people say that or you might say, I feel so inferior to her. I feel so inferior to him. We've all said that. In certain social situations, we might feel inferior. Certain places we go, we might feel inferior. Certain stores we frequent, we might feel inferior, inferior. When I'm inferior, I'm really on the right of pride because I'm focused on myself. So I would say that when I have an inferiority complex, I am as prideful as someone who is King testosterone

5:04or queen estrogen. I'm as prideful as someone who's like in your face. Yeah. Vulnerability. What's going through the recesses of your mind? Vulnerability. What are you afraid to share, to articulate what others vulnerability? Your secret is your strength. You're only though as sick as your secrets. Why don't we have this feeling of vulnerability? It goes back to rejection. Think about Adam and Eve. You remember Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, everything was perfect. God was their blank, right? They were looking to God for their props, for their esteem. They saw themselves the way God saw them. Nothing more, nothing less. They chose to rebel against God. They chose to sin. One day I heard that Adam and Eve kids, Cain and Abel were playing and they called up on a wall

6:05and they looked and they saw paradise. They saw the most beautiful spot on earth. They were like, whoa, look at this. So they ran home with their father, Adam. They said, Adam, that, we saw the most gorgeous place we've ever seen in our life. Do you think we can live there one day? They Adam dropped his head and said, we used to, but your mother ate us out of house and home. That's so true. That's so true. Man and woman, right, dropped the ball. They were rejected from the garden. For the first time, they looked to some thing else to fill in the blank of their lives. We've been experiencing rejection ever since. We try to put different things in the blank as opposed to God. We have a blanking crisis. The bailout is Jesus and he works every single time.

7:08Over the next several, over the next several sessions, we're gonna talk about the blanks. I'm not blank enough. Just fill it in. We all have those blanks. Well, today, we're going to look at one that every single person deals with. I would argue over the ensuing weeks, we look at blanks that we all deal with. Van a white, you know, Van a white. You've heard of Van a white, right? She's like the game show host, girl, right? The game show host, beauty. She hails from South Carolina. That's where my wife was born. So I want Lisa to come up and press the button, right? And we're gonna see what we're gonna talk about today. Because we're gonna spin the dial and Lisa, my lovely wife, of 30 years is gonna press the button and wherever the dial lands, that's what I'm gonna talk about. Are you ready? Let's give her some encouragement. Cheers. Here we go. I'm not good enough.

8:30You ever said that? I have. Is that the number one song on your playlist? It's been right up there on my playlist. I'm not good enough. I'm not good enough. You walk through the halls. If you're school, I'm not good enough. You walk in the soccer field, I'm not good enough. You walk in the platform to preach, I'm not good enough. You see a patient? I'm not good enough. You work on something, I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough. Good, isn't good enough. Let me say it again. Good, isn't good enough. But God is God enough. It's good, isn't good enough. But God is God enough. And that's what we're gonna find out today. This is gonna be a very uplifting and very, very empowering series of messages. I'm not good enough. We play that game. So what do we do? We play that game. We play games around the game. So we say I'm not good enough. And if we really weren't vulnerable,

9:31we would share that with others. I feel like I'm not good enough. But most of the time we don't share that, we play games. Maybe you play a game that I play called the lame game. The lame game. The lame game is a performance trap. Okay, I'm gonna be good enough. So I'll perform and I'll hit this level. I'll do ABC123 and if I'm a good boy or a good girl, if I score the touchdown or have the acclaim or a certain amount of followers on Twitter or if I make a certain amount of money or have the corner office, then I'll be good enough. Am I the only one that thinks that? I'll be good enough. I'll be good enough. I can perform my way in. Then those here who are Christians, we do the same thing in the Christian life. I know what God, I'll just read a chapter. Propel Fitness Water with Gatorade Electrolites, Zero Sugar and Vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout

10:32and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with Gatorade Electrolites. I get so many headaches every month. It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox on a botchaline Mtoxin A prevents headaches and adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms.

A chapter a way, a day keeps a devil away. A chapter a day keeps a devil away. So I'll read that and okay, and I'm also praying God, I'm praying every day, like five to 10 minutes. Some of you are going, I'm praying 30 minutes a day. And I'll perform my way and God will say, wow, and you're a good God, you performed. And that was a really good message, you know? You didn't have any weird tangents in that message

12:33and it was really articulate. And people responded and some people clapped and, hey, you were speaking this past weekend in Arkansas and you got a standing ovation. Wow, I feel good because I'm good enough. I guess that moment, huh? Good isn't good enough. God is God enough. You'll never get to that point in your life. I'll never get to the point in my life where good is good enough. It's a performance trap, it's lame. You'll limp through life. Pressure bust a pipe. It should take the pressure off. I don't have to perform. I don't, there's nothing. I could do right now to cause God to love me anymore or any less. Nothing, nothing. I talked to God the other day with 10 Fellowship Church who goes, Ed, I've got a problem. I've got an identity crisis and an energy problem.

13:36I don't know who I am and I'm too tired to figure out who I am. And sometimes we're like that, aren't we? We play the lame game. What's God's answer to the lame game? Justification, justification. The Bible says in Romans chapter five verse one, therefore since we've been justified through faith, it's like we haven't even sinned. We're justified through faith, a faith decision. We have peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ. So if you're trying to prove you're worse through performance, it's a trap, it's a treadmill going nowhere. Stop being treadmill, get off the treadmill and say, God, I realize I'm justified. That's a cool thing. Another game we play is the name game, the name game, the name game. Let us students are playing the name game right now. A lot of adults are playing the name game right now. If I can impress certain names, then I'll be good enough. I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough.

14:37So I'll hang out with the right people, I'll have the right name, the right last name. Am I the only one? I went back to a high school reunion a couple of years ago. And at least now we're walking around, I'm looking at name tags, I'm like, I was trying to impress you. I was trying to get what? It's crazy. We got in the car and drove home after it, we're like, man, can you believe it? Names, names, we did the same thing as adults. Oh, if I can hang out with this person, with this name or, yeah, that'll do it for me, the name game. The name game, again, is a formula for frustration. We got to play for an audience of one. That's God, but audience of one. The name game is not gonna work. Once you get in the club,

15:39the club changes, the club moves, and it's just not gonna happen for anyone here. So you're wasting your time, I'm wasting my time in the name game. What's God's answer? Reconciliation. Colossus chapter one, 21 and 22. Once you were alienated from God. That's right, we're all born with a blank, right? A spirit of rejection. And you're enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. It's a synetic condition that we all have. No one taught me how to reject God or sin. I just know how to do it. But now he's reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight without blimish, free from accusation. So when you're at the tapes, I'm not good enough. I'm not good enough. I'm not good enough. I'm not good enough going on in your mind. That's the enemy in your mind and in my mind. If we argue with the enemy, we go,

16:39man, you're right, I'm not good enough. And I've said that before, wow, you're right, I'm not good enough. But don't waste your time arguing with the enemy, just point the enemy to God. Because God's gonna say, oh, Ed, yes, he's good enough. Because when I see Ed, I see Jesus. Are you feeling me? Just direct him to God. Because if you're a follower of Christ, but God looks at you, he sees the righteousness of Christ, something we don't deserve. We'll never be good enough to merit what God did. Because good isn't good enough. Our goodness always falls short. God made up the distance by sending Jesus to reconcile us to God through what he did. And the most vulnerable act of history. We play the lame game, the name game, another one, the blame game. Yeah, we blame our parents, blame the weather,

17:43blame our geography, blame genetics, the blame game. We blame, we blame, we blame. Adam and Eve, when they said, Eve blamed the serpent. Adam blamed Eve. And basically the serpent didn't have a leg to stand on. So everyone's blaming. That's pretty funny. First John, thank you. Chapter two verse two, what's God's answer, Prophecyation, hard word to say, it's a theological term, Prophecyation. What's Prophecyation? God's wrath has been satisfied. I don't have to punish myself when I mess up. I don't have to punish others. I'll punish myself, and then I'll put those same standards on others. God says, Prussia, Bussapite, what are you doing? What are you doing? First John, two, two. He is the Prophecyation for our sins.

18:45God's wrath has been satisfied. I don't have to pour up my wrath on others. I don't have to pour up my wrath on myself. It's been satisfied. Jesus took the punishment for your sins in mind and the ultimate act of vulnerability. So he's the Prophecyation for our sins and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world. That reminds me of what happened to be several months ago. I saw this elephant, and this elephant was supposedly tame. There was an elephant trainer with this elephant. There were some stanchions around the elephant, and this elephant was tied with this little rope around one of his hind legs, and I'm thinking to myself, man, if that elephant knew that it was an elephant, it could take out that rope and just break out like that, but obviously the elephant didn't know. Well, I made the foolish error of saying to the trainer,

19:46hey, can I have my picture taken with the elephant? I like putting it on Instagram, you know, connect it to Twitter and all that, because I've never had my picture taken with it. Elevon never touched an elephant before, he goes, yeah, come on, come on. So I crossed over the stanchions, and I'm standing there, and this thing, of course, is massive, it's an elephant. So he said, okay, just stand to the right of her, and her trunk will kind of drape over your shoulder, and just be still, and then we'll get the picture. So I handed the trainer my phone, told him about Instagram, whatever, blah, blah, blah. So I'm just standing there, talking like this, all of a sudden, this elephant, I don't know what happened. Just bumped me, knocked me off my feet into the air, I'm sprawled on the concrete, I'm thinking, okay, this thing is gonna stop me now.

20:46Praise God, she didn't, but she let me know, hey, I'm an elephant. It was scary, ripped my jeans scratch my bag, I'm telling you, the power of these animals, they're just, it's crazy power, I've never been hit that hard in my life, just like that. The elephant was standing there in these little stanchions because the elephant had a whack perception of her power. I'm sure it's a little baby elephant, she'd been kept there, and she could, you know, she could be crowned, but she was small. Now she's a big hawk and elephant, but she doesn't realize that she's truly an elephant, her perception is whacked. So she has this little rope she's tethered to, but all she would have to do if she realized the truth is, psh, could it be that you're that way?

21:50Could it be that I'm that way? Tied up with a little rope. My perception of truth is whacked, yeah, I can't break that. I can't break that. Good is it, good enough mentality. I can't break all the games I've been playing. What? You don't realize who you are. It's so often I don't realize who I am because I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough is going over and over and over in my mind. Who are you? I'll tell you who we are. Who are you? I'll tell you who we are. We're saints. Let's talk about an app session right now. Three aspects of this app session. Number one, you're a saint. What? Yeah, I didn't stutter. You're a saint. Recognize your sainthood. Recognize your sainthood. Then some of the Catholics here, how many of you grew up Catholic or have you gone to the Catholic church? Good, awesome. Okay.

22:51The Catholics, if you live like this life is good. When you die, when you clock out, after you clock out, if they decide you're going to be a saint, they'll canonize you. They call you saint, whatever. Okay? Problem. It's not biblical. My Bible tells me that every single person check this out. Every single person is a follower of Christ is a saint. Is that nuts or what? And prove it to me, man. Okay, I'm just reading the Bible. Ephesians 1-1, Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God to the saints, saint with me, saints. Christians in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus. So you're either a saint or an ape. You're not like, oh, I'm almost a saint. No, no, no. If you have made the faith decision, if the righteousness of Christ has been imputed into your life,

23:54you're a saint. What in that? Who I'm a saint? We don't realize who we are. I'm an elephant. I'm a saint. Now, if you're an ape, many of you are maybe your ains here at a different locations. I believe today you'll become a saint. We're talking about that just moments before the first service driving here. I'm a little bit late. My phone rings, pick it up. It's a friend of mine who's totally far away from God. Totally disconnected. He was involved in drugs, alcohol, crazy stuff, trying to fill the blanks in with all sorts of things. He'd been to fellowship. I think two times in his life. So I was texting him. I do that now and then and inviting him to our church. He goes, Ed, he goes, man, it's good to hear your voice. He goes, you won't believe what's happened. I go, what? He said, you know, I always thought that God was in nature. So I worked out outside all the time, ride bikes and run.

24:55He said, I just came to a point in my life, recently where I gave my life to Christ. He said, it's crazy. He said, I don't have the desire to party, to get high anymore. It's like, wow. I said, Roger, that is fantastic. I say, let me take something, man. The most important thing Peter do is get involved in the only thing Jesus ever built the local church. I said, granted, I'm partial. I think fellowship church is the best church in the world, but there's some other churches out there. He goes, oh, no, no, man, I am in fellowship. So next Sunday, Roger will be in the house. How cool is that? And I don't know how he came to that decision. I know he'd watch this on television some online and he'd been to church a couple of times, but man, he's a saint now. Saint Roger. Saint Ed, Saint Lisa.

25:58What's your name? St. St. St. St. St. Chris. St. Chris. Well, let's start calling each other saints. I like that, saints. So we recognize our sainthood. I'm telling you, this is a positive theory. This is empowering to me because I'm tired of saying good isn't good enough, good isn't good enough, good isn't. I struggle with that. Everybody does. The second part of this app, rely on your resources. Relie on your resources. Ephesians 1, 3, praise be to God and Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with, say, just phrase with me, every spiritual blessing in Christ. One more time, every spiritual blessing in Christ. How many here need more patience? Come on. How many here need more wisdom? How many here need more faith? All of us are liars. Every single person, I just lie in front of you. I don't need more.

26:59I don't need more of that. You don't either. I don't need any more patience, wisdom or faith. You don't either. What? Well, I just read to you what the Bible says about your resources in mind. We have everything we need. We have all the patience we need. We have all the wisdom we need. And we have all the faith we need. All we've got to do by faith is access that each and every day. We've got it all. We've got it all. We've got every blessing if we're a follower of Christ, if we're a saint. Now, for an ain't, that's a whole nother situation. But if you're a saint, we don't need anything else. We got it. Why have we got Jesus? He's in your life and mind. The third part of this app, I think I'm blowing some of your minds. The blue mind, too, is I was studying for this. Like, wow, I'm a saint.

28:03I don't have to worry. I need more. No, I've got patience. Because I've got Jesus. So, I either access that or not. I mean, that's my choice. Okay. Here's another one. Rest on your relationship, the last part of this app. Number three, rest on your relationship. We're adopted. The Bible says, into the family of God, once we receive Christ, we're adopted. We're not talking about foster care. We're talking about adoption. Back in biblical times, you could disown a biological child. You could not disown an adopted one. We're adopted into God's family. Now, I'm gonna read to you, Ephesians chapter one, verses four and five. And we're gonna talk about the tension between the sovereignty of God and the free will of man. No one knows the sovereignty of God, where the sovereignty ends, and where free will begins, or where free will ends and sovereignty begins.

29:04No one knows. We cannot wrap our finite pea brains around it. God is God, his ways are higher than our ways. But here's what God says. Look at this, for he chose us in him before the creation of the world. I'm picked on God's team. I'm the first round draft choice.

31:06and network management details. I don't deserve it. It takes me 10 years to run the 40. I can't even bench press my weight. Maybe I can crank out a pull-up or two. My vertical jump is like, what, 13 inches? The verse rounds around joy. He's wild. It got chose me before the creation of the world. To be holy and blameless in his sight. I'm blameless. So again, if the enemy goes all, you're not good enough, you're not good enough. Ed, you're not good enough. Who are you to preach? You're not good enough. Who are you? Who are you to say? Who are you? We say, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not going to argue with you. Because, right, I'm not good enough. Talk to God about it. And God's going to say, whoa. He asks, she has the righteousness of Christ. They're blameless and holy. He predestined us to be adopted as his sons

32:07through Jesus Christ in accordance to his pleasure and will. Wow, powerful stuff. Ah! Do you have a wack view of truth? Or do you know who you are? There's a guy in the Bible named Mephiba Sheth, back in the Old Testament. Stay with me. Mephiba Sheth, put your thinking caps on. Was the son of Jonathan. Jonathan was the son of King Saul. I'm talking about psychosoal. King Saul was the man. Highly jealous of David. You know David, the giant killer. Tried to kill David. Strangely, Jonathan and David were best friends. They made a blood covenant together. Slit their arms, changed blood, and a blood covenant basically said, David, everything that I have is yours.

33:08And David said, Jonathan, everything that you have is mine. This goes on for generations and generations, the blood covenant. Well, King Saul dies. Jonathan dies. There's a new king in town, David. David takes the throne and the first thing he does in his administration is he goes, hey, is there anyone left in King Saul's household? Everybody goes, oh no, no, because they knew David's gonna open up a can, right? An old servant named Zibba said, yes, yes, there is, King. Jonathan's son, Mephiba Sheth, you know the one that was dropped by a nanny, the one who's crippled, he survived. They've taken him away and he's cloistered away in a hideout because he knows what's coming.

34:08David said, get Mephiba Sheth. Now think about Mephiba Sheth for a second. Crippled, physically challenged, can't walk, can't play with the other kids. He's in this hideout and he knows one day, the knock will come on the door. He knows the David's gonna get him and kill it. And sure enough, he sees the Bentley and Rolls-Cherry, it's coming down his street. He knows his curtains. Hey, is Mephiba Sheth here? I'm Mephiba Sheth. So, they picked Mephiba Sheth up, bring it to David. He's lying there on the floor. David's looking at him. And Mephiba Sheth says, David, I'm a dead dog. I'm a dead dog. I'm nothing. And David looks at him.

35:10And he says, Mephiba Sheth, you are like my son now. You are gonna sit at my table, you can tap in to my resources, David was a multi-billionaire, you will live at the palace, not because of just you. I mean, I like you and all that, but because of the covenant, I cut with your father Jonathan because your grandfather was the king. You were talking about someone who was lame. You were talking about someone who had the wrong name. You were talking about someone who had every reason to fall into blame.

36:10Mephiba Sheth, the next morning he woke up, silk sheets, servants all around him. They wheel him down to breakfast. He's sitting there, you can't tell his legs are lame because of the linen table closet. He's looking around, he sees David. He said, King, we passed me the grits. I threw that part in. And as David reached for the Marmalade or whatever, he saw that scar on his arm, signifying the blood covenant. Mephiba Sheth knew, wow, I'm here because of the blood covenant, not because of what I've done, but because of who I am, what's been done for me. We're Mephiba Sheth. We've fallen, we've sinned, we're lame, and we played that lame game, don't we? Lipping through life.

You're a saint. Not an aunt anymore. You have resources that are unlimited that you can access. You have a relationship. You're adopted into the family of God.
