God says surrender, and we say, "Later. God says surrender, and we say, "Later. We'll do that later on." God says We'll do that later on." God says We'll do that later on." God says repent, and we're like, "Well, after repent, and we're like, "Well, after repent, and we're like, "Well, after this season, I'll repent, Lord." God this season, I'll repent, Lord." God this season, I'll repent, Lord." God says obey, and our response often times says obey, and our response often times says obey, and our response often times is, "Well, when things settle down, is, "Well, when things settle down, is, "Well, when things settle down, because I'm so busy, I'll then do that." because I'm so busy, I'll then do that." because I'm so busy, I'll then do that." God says move, and we think, "It's just God says move, and we think, "It's just God says move, and we think, "It's just not convenient right now." As if we are not convenient right now." As if we are not convenient right now." As if we are the ones holding the clock and have the the ones holding the clock and have the the ones holding the clock and have the authority over time. You do not get to authority over time. You do not get to authority over time. You do not get to schedule surrender. YOU DON'T GET TO schedule surrender. YOU DON'T GET TO schedule surrender. YOU DON'T GET TO SCHEDULE THAT. YOU DON'T GET TO PENCIL SCHEDULE THAT. YOU DON'T GET TO PENCIL SCHEDULE THAT. YOU DON'T GET TO PENCIL IN REPENTANCE. You can not, YOU AND I IN REPENTANCE. You can not, YOU AND I IN REPENTANCE. You can not, YOU AND I BOTH CANNOT NEGOTIATE OBEDIENCE WITH BOTH CANNOT NEGOTIATE OBEDIENCE WITH BOTH CANNOT NEGOTIATE OBEDIENCE WITH GOD. GOD NEVER ASKED FOR FUTURE GOD. GOD NEVER ASKED FOR FUTURE GOD. GOD NEVER ASKED FOR FUTURE OBEDIENCE. He asked for present OBEDIENCE. He asked for present OBEDIENCE. He asked for present obedience. Obedience is you and I's obedience. Obedience is you and I's obedience. Obedience is you and I's responsibility today. And Paul says in responsibility today. And Paul says in responsibility today. And Paul says in verse 46, "Since you thrust it aside, verse 46, "Since you thrust it aside, verse 46, "Since you thrust it aside, we're turning to the Gentiles." Meaning, we're turning to the Gentiles." Meaning, we're turning to the Gentiles." Meaning, since you've rejected, this is the since you've rejected, this is the since you've rejected, this is the direction that we're going. Rejecting direction that we're going. Rejecting direction that we're going. Rejecting Jesus never stops God's work. It only Jesus never stops God's work. It only Jesus never stops God's work. It only removes you from it.
