Second Wind

Levi Lusko - Passion

Jeremiah 12:5

Philippians 1:12

Picking up the theme of endurance, then ended with the idea of being God's fragrance - being the aroma of Christ.

It takes endurance to be the fragrance of Christ.

Philippians : a letter from Paul to the first church he planted.

Things that have happened to me have happened for the furtherance of Christ.

My chains are in Christ!

Courage is contagious.

Fear is faith in the enemy.

When we are steadfast and immovable it helps the people next to us be filled with faith.

Jeremiah was a prophet whom God had His hand on even before he was born.

Bloom where you're planted.

God answers Jeremiah.

If you have run with the footman and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses?

God wants you to get where Paul was at, but to be there you must not get stuck where Jeremiah was at.

Your first wind is not enough.

You don't have enough in your flesh to finish.

"Even though you've written this book, you are still allowed to hurt and allowed to have bad days where you'll have trouble believing what you've written in this book." Louie to Levi

Jesus promised He overcame the world.

In this world you will have tribulation.

1. The only way to your destiny is through difficulty and disappointment.

Jeremiah needed to be challenged. 

He needed to be reminded of his dream.

Never go out in your own strength, go out to build the Kingdom.

Train for the trial that is yet to come.

Lions are always on tiptoe, ready to attack, ready to pounce.

2. There are two sides to every chain.

Paul didn't say, "ugh, I'm chained to this guard." He thought, "the guard is chained to me!"

3. It is an honor to be trusted with pain.

It is an honor to be trusted with trials.

God puts to use what He puts you through.

Would you be willing to use your pain as a platform?

Be fruitful and multiply.

Jesus breaks the bread before He multiplies it.

The devils hope when you hurt is that you would run from God.

In your attempts to live for Jesus :

Don't rely on willpower because you have God's power!

My victory story begins when my victim story ends!

Trust God for a second wind!
