Pastor Preston--In perfect response to a question to God, your video popped up for the first time. I'm enjoying your video immensely. At the 27:30 mark, you are talking about a moment one is not prepared to steward as dangerous. You say it might hurt to hear. It shouldn't! The Hebrew for danger in Prov 22:3 is ra, which means evil. Evil, by definition, is anything that is against or absent God. None of us should ever want to steward God-given power absent Him! Such grace!

I so needed to hear this and receive it! I’ve been commenting on this series about how I’m confused about my journey since I’ve not been accepted or seen from a young age. I had this revelation about marrying late that maybe it wasn’t always about me but about the fact that maybe i had to learn some specific things and have my children at a specific time because they were made for such a time as this but for a later generation. Total perspective shift about how sometimes it’s not about you. It’s not your fault and it’s not the most important thing for you to accomplish your purpose without the right timing for the best benefit to the kingdom. But despite having this realization about marriage, I didn’t apply it wholeheartedly to ministry or relationship or career or calling.

Preston, today, my wife and I got to experience the presence of god inside the Pillar for the first time, We got to meet you and talk to you and got to experience your beautiful establishment. We were led by god from the Basement podcast to the Pillar. The message today was getting to know god. I have to say that the message today as well as the presence of the Holy Spirit won us over and we will DEFINITELY be going back next week together and I will start to be there on Wednesday evenings as well. We felt like we belong from the point we walked in, to the moment we drove out. I greatly appreciate the hospitality, the great conversation with you and staff. I would be honored to be a part of this church and family. I recently started my walk with the lord and this is what I needed to keep going. I learned that he is VERY interested in me and that caused a spark in me to continue to crave and want to know him even more! We have honestly have yet to find a church and staff like we found today. Thank you again. You are greatly appreciated.

Sit where I tell you to sit! Come onnnnn. As you tell the communion story several instances come to mind from the last few years of my life. This may help someone else reading this. I thought my season of hiding was over, when in reality I may just be right in the middle of it. It may have taken me a couple years to realize it but I’m not forcing my way out anymore, I’m slowly stepping right back into that cave until it’s time.

Thank you so much for this message as it has blessed me so much. I'm currently very deep in the cave and it started when my mother who was my best friend went to be with the Lord in 2015 when I was 25. At the time I was everywhere, serving in church and in ministry in every position almost available. For 4 years after her death I was preaching everywhere and even serve in leadership. But at some point serving the church and others while also working took all of my time where I didnt even have time to enjoy my intimate time with God as I was used to when I was 11 growing up. Too many voices from prominant leaders, pastors, and brethern in Christ were putting so much into me. Prophesies left and right about the great things God was doing and wanted me to do and how I should do things, made that everything became overwhelming at one point. And I was the one indiscriminately going with whatever that came on my path because I believed God wanted me to serve to that extend and it was the christian thing to do. I called it the Jesus syndrome as I was trying to save and serve everybody. Thinking back I lost my focus that was originally on the Lord of the work to the work of the Lord. Which was more the work of men than of God. My health detoriated and I became chronically ill with several things that obstructed me to do anything. It was like my body became a prison at 30 years old. Thats when I entered a desert like never before. Everything was quiet. I couldn't do anything and now I'm entering my 4th year in hiding. I was gone from social media, couldn't freely go to church without having others coming to me with expectation for something and even all the people I used to help or be in contact with dissapeared and I remained with just a handful of people. But God is now taking me by the hand and taught me the value of just being me. Allowing me to look at myself from His perspective and learning me to only follow Him through everything and to function from His place of rest. And I'm experiencing Him teaching me valuable lessons to teach others when the time is ripe in due season. I was at a place where I was done with everything and everyone including myself. But now I'm at a place where God's love is so real I can't explain it, I truly went back to my first love. And realizing and understanding what it means to be His beloved child in whom He is well pleased and delights in, is just mind blowing. And knowing that He is with me in all things no matter what. Being fully dependant soley on Him. I feel so excited to share so many thing with others, and I'm overflowing with so much but Im limited with sharing it all. I've lost loved ones, health, now even my job by the beginning of this year and scaringly after more than 20 years of service I also respectfully and in love said goodbye to my church but I'm at a place of peace I can't describe knowing God is with me and is truly my provider for everything. As He is teaching me how to walk this life with Him and come out of this cave and this desert, I realized after listening to this message that if I'm honest I don't want to leave this place. I was preparing to go on a date with the Lord while He led me to this message. And as you were praying for the people in the cave I was in agreement with you like it was for me, as I believed I still might have a long way to go, even if God is bringing new opportunities and things on my path. But I broke down in tears and felt Gods Spirit embrace me and speak to me at the moment you started praying for those leaving the cave. I felt scared to leave the cave as I just really started to enjoy my time with God here. A lot has been restored and I don't want to run before God but I truly want to follow Him and go where He wants me to go and do what He wants me to do. I want to move freely from His realm of rest and at His throne of grace. So as He is learning me to trust Him and His word in every area of my life I want to keep enjoying Him and when I'm called to go out and serve again I want to serve as He has called me to serve. And to serve the people He called me to serve. As I have trusted Him in this season of hiding I will trust Him with my present and with my furture and His timing. It's amazing how God led me to this message through several podcasts including the recent one with you and Tim in the basement. I don't know you or Tim, I was hiding sooo deep in the cave I barely know anybody. Until this year I hadn't heard of any of you. But I want to thank you for this investment in my life. As these messages are forming a foundation for a 33 year old woman in the Netherlands that's about to come out of hiding with a very strong desire for God to be glorified in everything regarding her and her life. If He isn't in it I truly don't want it. Thank you so much and God bless you, your family and your ministry mightily. May you continue to reap in abundance all the blessings you have sown in others life with what you do. ❤🙌🏽 I don't expect anyone to read this long text until the end. But if you do than I believe that God wants to encourage you with this. If you're in hiding and things are really hard or challenging. I want to encourage you and let you know that God is truly with you. Sometimes it may seem like He isn't there, and He is quiet while you are having a hard time. But the moment you pass the period of rebellion or knowing better (of nor wanting to be in hiding) and just surrender to Him, you will experience Him in the quietness and in that peace. Most of the time we find ourselves having a monolog with God from our side. It is good to let Him have His monolog from His side with you so you can truly learn what it means to have a conversation with Him that will lead to a fellowship that goes beyond what you have ever known. When you can recognize His voice in the silence, and you learn to experience Him in the cave, you will be able to recognize your Shepherd's voice when you are outside of the cave. And at that moment it doesn't matter whose voice is the loudest around you, the only voice you'll recognize and follow is The One you know is with you. God bless you and enjoy and appreciate this season of hiding. It might be painful and you will truly learn to die to your flesh in area's you didn't even know was still alive. But it's going to be a life changing season that produce fruits that will last you a life time. ❤

This season I’m in is SO Meticulous 😅 I’ve been in hiding with God telling me “I’m grooming and preparing you” and it keeps coming …😂 I just keep trusting him and hearing him say “In Due Time”. I know I was supposed to start taking steps in the gift he’s given me -but it’s almost comical that each time I think I’m about to step into “the time” it is stopped from progressing. It’s almost made me think its an attack - but I know God is changing my perspective of his provision ,my grooming, and learning obedience. I continue to be in hiding.

Okay. This entire video; start to finish, definitions included was for me 🙋🏽♀️. It corresponds SO PERFECTLY with everything God has been saying and allowing to happen to me during this season. This has been my season for the past 3 years and last year was especially the hardest. I have literally seen continuous DIVINE blocks of God lol. In my frustration and ignorance, I tried to drill through the doors that God had closed only to tire myself out beyond measure. But in all of it, with every year growing increasingly harder, I have grown increasingly closer to God. This year is full surrender. God has been showing me that just like Joseph, He sent me here. And even in the meticulous pain, it is good; for He is the one who holds that definition. So I’m on sabbatical for the first time in my life, with no end date in sight! My life is a movie but it’s good to be reminded that it’s not the only movie. Again, thank you for your continuous surrender, Preston, and allowing God to use you.

28:33 If I steward a moment the way God desires me to steward it…it was always have lasting effects and always bring more glory to God. How do I react when he says you’re not ready yet? That one is cutting me. Offense and frustration are the norm. I want to choose to receive them as loving words coming from a protective father.

Pastor Preston when you talked about provision...that was my deepest cut. Also when you said everything we have is from God. God has provided for me all my life but in the past year was miraculous provision. This convicted me to have an intentional posture of stewardship of the provision given and will be given to me. I will be praying to know how to do that. Thank you. -V

This is a word!!! I've been listening to you for a couple of years and was one of the dwellers who was so excited to see you and Tim together and possibly have listened to that one episode a few times. 😊 I am in a hiding season and the part where you said there is nothing more embarrassing then striving in a season he wants you hiding. I can confirm, nothing more embarrassing. I was laid off last July. I had a great job, that I loved.....and then I started applying for other jobs and have not landed a single interview...why? He said not yet. I felt he said there are some things I have to cut and I've been cutting/hiding/dwelling since. The story you tell and have told when you did a sermon on Pride, about communion has stuck with me. I get second hand embarrassment for you. It's so good! Also, You said also not to freak out when the brook dries up, I can confirm, I'm a wife and mom of four, and God is still providing even when I'm not bringing any income in! Thanks for your obedience and pouring!!!
