Glory, Freedom, and the Urgent Messenger — Duane Troyer

Grace be with you. Peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. It's a blessing to be gathered with you all Appreciate appreciate what's been shared and Just hope we can continue to be encouraged and strengthened in Christ and put on Christ as brother Brett said To wear him.

Thank you. Oh Let's uh I'm gonna I'm gonna take a a Little break from the series of the Sermon on the Mount. No, and just For one thing. It's a it's a good place to take a break. We're done with chapter 5 and Be ready for chapter 6 and I just had some some various Thoughts that have been on my mind things that I've been that have been inspiring encouraging that I wanted to share and So that's that's what I have in mind for today.

I I Admit that that some of the things I might want to share today or maybe not all connected with each other and Just Just various thoughts so let's stand and and pray and We'll get started. Our Father in heaven we thank you for all your love to us your mercies your kindness your goodness that you've brought salvation and Did a wondrous work for loving us and making it possible for us to love you and come to you For calling us for For all that you do for us, we just glorify your name we praise you and and pray that you would just help us to to be faithful and to grow in you and to be and an Encouragement and a building up of your kingdom and of one another here on earth in Jesus name.

We pray. Amen. How many people have Have heard that song. I think maybe there's like a verse that goes with it. I'm not real familiar with it, but I Has anybody heard it or we kind of know the tune like Someone in North, Missouri introduced it to us and maybe I thought if we could we'd try to sing it Just this part.

You don't know it. I Thought for sure if Adley and Barbara will know it Let me sing it once and then we'll sing it together and if you if you if you think of it as I if you Think of the tune as you as I start it help me, so I'm not singing a solo.

He is my everything He is my all He is my everything. Both great and small he gave him his life for me Made everything new He is my everything. Now, how about you? Let's do it again louder. He is my everything.

He is my all. He is my everything. Both great and small He gave his life for me Made everything new. He is my everything. Now, how about you? All right. Thank you. Hmm. Is he is he our everything is he are all His ways are unsearchable his glory is Insurpassable.

He's the superlative of everything good. He he I think it is good for us to just stop Daily and just think about the greatness of God the glory that he dwells in and Glorify him for it and give him give him the glory that is due him.

You know he all the waters all the waters in the earth every river lake ocean Sea all the waters could be gathered into the into the hollow of his hand. Or he could he could measure out the sky in in the length of one span from his thumb to his Miss thumb to that finger.

Job says that he he hangs the earth on nothing. He hangs the earth on nothing. There's this. There's this chapter in the wisdom of Sirach chapter 42, and I won't read the whole chapter for the sake of time.

But Job Job expresses this or Job Sirach expresses this glory in this wonder that God has he in in the Sun and and the the heat that it puts forth and what all it does and the moon and and how it you know marks seasons and months and and times and and.

How this all has its order. He talks about the rainbow and its beauty and its brightness and how it how it arcs the circle or the earth covers the earth in an arc and The snow he mentions lightning and clouds and hoarfrost and how how the north wind brings cold weather and the ice freezes over and all the water has an armor over it and and he just expresses all these things.

He talks about how the the people who the sailors who go out on the sea come back with these amazing reports of the wonders of the sea and these huge sea creatures and and. And then he ends up saying this.

In in chapter 40 it was 43. Maybe I said 42 chapter 43. He says we will say many things and not reach the end. But the sum of our word is seen in this. He is all. How shall we ever be able to adequately praise him for he is greater than all his works.

Fearful is the Lord and exceedingly great and wondrous is his power. Glorify the Lord and exalt him as much as you are able. For he will surpass even that and when you exalt him put forth all your strength.

Do not grow weary for you cannot exalt him enough. Who has seen him and who and will describe him and who can magnify him as he truly is. There are yet many things greater than these for we have seen but few of his works for the Lord made all things and Gives wisdom to the godly he's.

He's worthy. He's worthy of great glory and and This this glory that belongs to God is the one thing That he won't share with us. He won't share it with anybody. There's there's a verse in Isaiah 42 or 48 42 verse 8 maybe I think where he says something like I am the Lord your God.

My glory. I will not share with anything with anyone or anything. He he'll share his grace. He'll share his love. He'll share his power. He'll share everything that he has except one thing. He won't share his glory with us and and the moment that we try to try to take glory for ourselves or in one another.

That belongs to God. We we really offend God and so and so let's just as we go through life, let's let's glorify him as as Sirach says With all our strength as much as we're able. Recently I was going I was listening to the story of Joseph in the Old Testament.

I'm just listening to Bible audio and and it struck me the thing that Joseph said there when he was in Potiphar's house and. And Potiphar's wife was wanting. Wanting Joseph to come come to her and and This is what Joseph said something like this.

How can I do this? He said you're my master. Has given me authority over the whole house. He doesn't even concern himself what I do. He's given me the liberty to do everything except one thing and that is to do something with you.

How could I do that? You're his wife. I've got liberty everywhere with everything except that and I and it occurred to me that like you know how the New Testament talks about the wife is the glory of her husband and and that that is.

That is the one thing that that men don't want don't want anybody to touch as their wife because it's because it's his glory and and I just thought how how the How similar that is to our master to God how he he gives us.

He has given us the earth and all that's in it all the creation that he gave us and he says here do it. Do do with it what you what you see fit make subdue it harness it Bring it into subjection. Increase it multiply it make it fruitful.

Just just don't touch my glory. Or don't don't take it you should say don't take it upon yourself and. So with that I I think of like Liberty and freedom. So so God intended God intended as I see that as I see the story there in Genesis when he created man and put him in the garden his Intentions was to give them all this liberty and all this freedom and and give them the will to decide what to do.

But by that he decides what we're made of and Adam and Eve proved themselves To not have that heart that he wanted and so have all of us. At one time at least in our lives Freedom freedom Is such a It's such a fragile yet powerful thing it's it's It's the ultimate testing ground it's.

It's the greatest proving period is once is once we have been totally set free to do Exactly what we want to do and then and then it's it's revealed What we really want to do it's revealed what really is in here, right.

Edmund Berkey When he wrote the reflections of the revolution in France back in 1790s He said the effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do as they please. We ought to see what it will please them to do.

Before we risk congratulations Which may soon be turned into complaints. See people. People leave people sometimes find themselves either growing up or or maybe they voluntarily Join something or they end up in some in some kind of place where they're under really under strong restrictions and they're They're they're kind of bound.

They don't have the liberty to do What they want and then and then they break free of that and they're loose of that and then what happens over and over with that. With a little bit of time you see that this Liberty Didn't help them.

They they just proved what was in their heart and their their straights are far worse than they were. At least in some way. They're far worse than they were when they were and then they were beaten when they were being restricted and So We we have to make God our everything.

He's got to be our all he's if I think I think most I Hesitate to say a hundred percent, but like most apostasy most most falling away most most. Maybe even deception Could could probably be traced back to not having a Desire in our hearts for God and and what is about God?

Jesus said we shall know the truth and the truth will make us free. We shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free but knowing the truth brings responsibility. Right if we if we find out if we get the knowledge if we learn about the truth of something it brings Responsibility with us, which means it it brings it with us the ability to respond to it.

Okay, and and so This this truth that Jesus brought us Is is brought to us and and we're free. We're free from we're free from a whole bunch of things and maybe I'll talk about some of this later. But now now it's also comes with this responsibility.

How how are we going to respond to this truth? Freedom is Something that is so long for but but once it's really in our lap. The magnitude of the consequences of What we end up doing with it is is really great.

Recently I was reading this article about How Abraham Lincoln signed on January 1st of 1863. Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Which Which was a which which was? Which was to free all slaves?

It was a it was a sign Thing by the president that all Slaves were set free on January 1st of 1863. But they didn't have social media. And the knowledge of this Didn't immediately go out everywhere. And so the people weren't the slaves weren't set free until they knew about it and In some places especially in Texas The news of this Didn't didn't really Get there till about two and a half years later.

And so there were slaves there and they that the masters it's maybe not totally clear. Maybe some people kind of knew about it, but but it seems like the masters were trying to hide it from the slaves.

There wasn't much there wasn't much Presence of Union armies and And things like that. And so and so in Texas Black people were still being slaves. For the next two and a half years until June 19th of 1865, which is what they call Juneteenth and it's big holiday now.

But but then the news came and they were made aware of this that hey Abraham Lincoln signed an Emancipation proclamation and were free and things went wild and and That the masters couldn't know couldn't couldn't keep their slaves in bondage anymore.

But it didn't necessarily. It it only proved. What was in these people's hearts there was this there was this man named Felix Hayward who wrote this. After after that after he saw what happened and. And the news came to Texas and he said everybody went wild.

We all felt like heroes. Just like that. We were free. We knew freedom was on us, but we didn't know what was to come with it. We thought we were going to get rich like the white folks. We thought we were going to get richer than the white folks because we were stronger and we knew how to work and the whites Didn't and we didn't have to work for them anymore.

But it didn't turn out that way. We soon found out that freedom can make folks proud, but it didn't make folks rich. And so Freedom is something I think everybody longs for. And Yet and yet it it comes with such a responsibility because it it proves it it proves.

What's really? What's really in here? So, what are we what are we doing with with our Liberty because Jesus came to set us free. He came to he came to put us at Liberty. So so are we are we taking that Liberty and are we serving the flesh?

Or are we taking that Liberty and through love serving one another? As I. As I read through the epistles. And the book of Acts and the things that the Apostles, right? I hear them like I Hear them over and over fighting for this Liberty because because there was constantly people trying to bring them under bondage.

And they were constantly being like. Don't be brought under bondage again. Don't don't let any man judge you over. Over food and drink and holidays don't and don't judge one another. This is this is not what the kingdom of God is about.

And and they keep they keep fighting they keep fighting for this Liberty on one hand but then but then you also get as you read as you read them like. But discipline yourselves uh Paul said Paul said I I beat my body into subjection and I make it my slave.

Um but but what what I. What I want us to realize realize or this is one of the thoughts i've been having recently is like Paul Paul said that I don't think anybody Thinks Paul lived a lived an extravagant life.

And I I think when he said that he means it like I think I think he made his body his slave. I think he brought it under subjection. But he did that to his own body. He never he never beat timothy's body into subjection and made it his slave.

He never did it to titus or philemon or any of those people. No, he he beat his own body into subjection. And he made it his slave and then and then he and then he keeps fighting and he keeps he keeps preaching for this.

For for other people not to bring others into bondage. Sometimes I feel like we can in our zeal for righteousness and purity and holiness. And convictions that run strong and deep we we can miss. Some of the key elements or the key element in the new covenant and and that is.

That the heart has to be turned like one. One of the one of the great distinguishing factors between the old covenant in the new covenant is that In in the old covenant jesus or god took took them by the hand, right?

He he took them like you would take your child who who may not be willing and he took them by the hand and he Took them out there and there he tried to there. He tried to rearrange their hearts and and and make a good heart out of them.

And he says the new covenant is not like this. I will not take him by the hand. I will not I will not touch them instead I will I will set them free and i'll make my covenant with the one who in in this in this in in this position of complete voluntary liberty.

Turns his heart toward me with that one. I'll i'll put my hand out to him and we'll walk together. We'll get in a yoke with each other and we'll walk together. That's the one that the new covenant is with it is made with.

I had I had some thoughts. Was it just last sunday when you preached deadly? Oh. And you you made mention of how the new testament writers refer. Sometimes referred to the law the old testament law as a yoke that was heavy uh a burden that was heavy to bear.

Paul says things like Maybe it's peter. One of them said like why are you placing a a yoke on them that neither we nor our forefathers could bear? Um, and so. And so and so they they the apostles Referred to that As a heavy yoke and then and then brother atlee said something like but jesus says My yoke, I know a lot of translations say easy, which is not really a good word.

But he says my yoke is is good. My yoke is kind or gentle. And and my burden is light. Now, why is that? Because after all would not all of us in here say that jesus rose the standard when he gave the sermon on the mount, did he not did he not take things and just raised the bar.

And and and and and made it made it broader made the applications broader than they even were before so. So why does it say that or or or how should we think about that? If we if we're gonna uh If we're going to approach The the laws of the new covenant if we're going to approach jesus's laws.

Uh who who that that really are a higher standard that really are uh, um Raising the bar, but if we're going to approach them In in the spirit and in the heart of the old covenant, we're going to miss we're going to miss the goodness of it right if we're going to um uh if If we're going to think That we can that we can coerce and we can twist others.

Um in in into these laws with with with a with a do and don't mentality like we'd read as we go through the old covenant I'm gonna miss it. These are not the people jesus is making a covenant with he's making a covenant with the people Who have who have been renewed in their hearts?

And and who who look at the things that jesus said and they get it. They get the principle that he put forth and they and they with a willing and a voluntary heart want to apply this. And make applications to their lives.

I'm not i'm not suggesting that it's like It's satisfactory to just believe in a principle and not have an application. That's not what i'm saying. But I here here's what I thought about when brother atlas shared that is.

There's something similar To that in what happened When rehoboam got became king when solomon died and rehoboam was crowned king. The people came to him and said Your father made our yoke heavy. But if you now lighten The harsh servitude and burdensome yoke.

We will serve you. And so rehoboam calls the old man in and he says hey, this is what the people say. They say if they say if they say my father made the yoke heavy. And if I make it light, they'll serve me.

What do you say? And the old men said Listen to this the old men said if you Shall be a servant to them. And if you speak good words to them. They will be servants to you all the days of your life. Rehoboam didn't really like this council.

And so he calls the young man in and he says what do you say? The people say make my yoke. My father made the yoke heavy. You make it lighter. What do you say? And the young men said, ah. You say unto them Your father made the yoke heavy.

Well, i'm going to add on top of it. And he he he's he uh whipped you with whips and i'm going to whip you with scorpions. And so after three days. The men come back to see what his council is. And and and he takes the young men's council and he says you guys want a lighter burden.

Well my i'm going to add to the yoke that my father had i'm going to make this heavier. And he whipped you with whips and i'm going to use scorpions. And what happened the people left. The people said.

What inheritance do we have in this? We're not. We're not going to abide by this. And i'm i'm not sure if the people's hearts were right as they should have been. But but what I know is that. Is that this this approach?

Doesn't work. And it drives people away and jesus was Jesus did exactly the council of the old men and he was the exact opposite of rehoboam. Jesus became a servant to us. And he spoke good words to us and to this day.

Men and women young and old will give their lives in service to him whether it costs them all their life. They'll they'll be this voluntary servant to him whether they get their heads chopped off burn at the stake.

Drown, there's no stopping them. They are committed for the rest of their lives. Hmm. And it's not because jesus put this heavy yoke on us. It's not not because he took he took the old covenant and he said i'm gonna add on top of this and make it stricter yet He reigns.

He reigns in the hearts of these people who have made themselves his voluntary slaves. Are we one of them? And galatians chapter 5 paul says. For you were called to freedom brethren. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh but through love serve one another.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word in the statement. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. But if you bite and devour one another take care. That you are not consumed by one another. But I say walk by the spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

For the flesh sets its desires against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh for these are in opposition to one another. So that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are immorality impurity sensuality Idolatry sorcery enmity strife jealousy outbursts of anger disputes dissensions factions envying drunkenness carousing and things like these.

Of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you. That those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of god. But the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness.

Faithfulness gentleness self-control against such things. There is no law. Now those who belong to christ jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and its desires. And if we live by the spirit, let us also walk by the spirit.

Let us not become boastful challenging one another and envying one another. Elmo stole once wrote. Jesus refuses to force anyone. He called them. He called with tenderness. He patiently invited he bent down to help and lift.

He showed love and mercy and compassion. He sought to win the voluntary devotion of men's hearts and was satisfied with nothing less. It is a model for all of us to follow. There's a. There's a passage in isaiah That has been inspiring to me.

It's in isaiah 40 52 so It's a piece of poetry. It's um I think you could say well, i'm pretty sure you could say. Um so. The setting here isaiah isaiah's writing and he uh, he. But um israel is in captivity most most of israel has been carried away to babylon um.

There's there's some people left in jerusalem, but jerusalem lays in ruins. Um this this great city this city that had been. That had been the glory of all the empires that people came from the uttermost parts of the earth to look at now lay crumbled burnt ruin.

It was a place that was desolate a place for owls and a place for wild beasts. And and and here and there. There were still a few people living. That's the setting. And and then and then we have a watchman who's on the watchtower.

And and he looks this is this is partly what I see in this passage. I'll read it in just a little bit. But but the watch the watchman is looking out and way out there on a distant mountain. He sees someone who's running.

He's running toward the city and he's running with with with urgency. And and and the the watchman braces himself he tries to get himself ready. What. This is a messenger. His message is urgent. What does he want?

He calls other watchmen in he opens the door. He wants to he wants to know what's going on. Is a battle happening. Is a war coming as is there tragedy? Are we in danger? What's what's going on? I'm adding a little bit of my imagination, but I think I think this messenger comes in.

I think his. His feet are. Are ugly with. With dirt and sweat and blood from running over these rugged mountains. His clothes are probably tattered from running through the brush and coming here in the quickest way possible.

And then and then here in chapter 52. Starting in verse 10 it says. How delightful on the mountains are the feet of the one who brings good news? Who announces his who announces peace and brings good news of happiness.

Who announces salvation and says to zion? Your god reigns. Listen your watchmen raise your voices. They shout joyfully together for they will see with their own eyes when the lord restores zion. Be cheerful.

Shout joyfully together. Your ruins you ruins of jerusalem for the lord has comforted his people. He has redeemed jerusalem. The lord has bared his holy arm in the sight of all nations so that all the ends of the earth may see the salvation of our god.

And so what is this urgent? Urgent news. That has a messenger running over the mountains to bring it. It's that god reigns. And that he's going to restore this ruin. That he's going to build up the waste places.

Is he reigning in our lives? It says there. He he bared. Um. His he bared his holy arm. Some some of the translation might say he revealed his holy arm. I I think he I think it's saying god has rolled up his sleeves and he's ready to do something great.

He he has brought about salvation to mankind. He is restoring zion. He is establishing establishing his kingdom. And everyone to the ends of the earth shall see his salvation. Jesus came. He came. He he is that messenger who has come.

And he has proclaimed the truth to set us free. And now and now what are we doing about it? In luke Chapter four and I think some of the other gospels mention this too, but jesus starts his ministry uh.

And he he goes. He goes to the synagogue and it says That as his custom was he entered the synagogue on the sabbath day and he stood up to read. And the book of the prophet isaiah was handed to him and he opened the book and found the place where it was written.

The spirit of the lord is upon me. Because he anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind. To set free those who are oppressed and to proclaim the favorable year of the lord.

And then he closes the book. And he sits down and he says today This scripture is fulfilled in your eyes. I'm he. I'm the one who came to give sight to the blind to to set the captives free. And to proclaim the year of the lord.

Free to do what? Free. To do What we want. But what we do reveals what we want. Do we want? God, do we want him reigning in our life? Is he our everything? Is he our all? Let me skip or go back to a passage in ephesians Chapter five that has also been inspiring to me recently.

Ephesians chapter 5. In verse 15 it starts saying therefore Be careful how you walk. Not as unwise men But as wise. Making the most of your time because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish but understand what the will of the lord is.

And do not get drunk with wine for that is dissipation, but be filled with the spirit. I want you to notice the next verses. He says he says here Be filled with the spirit. And then here's what the effects will be if we're filled with the spirit.

Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns spiritual songs. Singing and making melody in our hearts to the lord. Always giving thanks for all things in the name of our lord. Jesus christ to god even the father.

And to be subject to one another in the fear of christ those things. Though there is not a not an exhaustive list. But there is a list of things that happen when someone is filled with the spirit. They'll start being thankful.

They'll start Being. They'll start singing. They'll start appreciating the psalms. They'll start Encouraging one another with with songs and with thankfulness and they'll be subject to one another. Those are some of the fruits that will happen when someone Is filled with this spirit that that jesus that came upon jesus when he said I I came to set you guys free.

I came to proclaim the good that the acceptable year of the lord. Are we increasing in these things? Let's be real honest with ourselves. We we are to be growing in our spiritual lives. We need to be increasing.

So in these things that we just looked at are we increasing in them? Are we do we recognize that we have a more thankful heart than we did five years ago? Are we more given to encouraging one another?

To submitting to one another to bearing with one another than we were five years ago. Have we been gripped by this message that the messenger came? And proclaimed. Has the light been shed abroad in our hearts?

Have we conquered more of our personal battles? Have we been more victorious? Than we were five years ago. Have we taken the message from the messenger? And spread it. Do our neighbors know more about?

The faith. Than they did three years ago. I think it was abraham arnold who said the church is the light of the world. It's a city set on a hill and the messengers that go into the world proclaiming the good news are like the sun rays.

When jesus said they're in the sermon on the mount when he said you are the light of the world. What was he talking about? He was talking about you. He's not talking about the bible. The world doesn't read it.

He wasn't talking about messages getting preached sunday mornings. The world doesn't hear those. He's talking about you. We are the light of the world. Just want to I just want to encourage us to to to think creatively to think about the fact that he He has put us at liberty.

To to do this to to do righteousness. To do to to make peace. To express joy to glorify his name to spread the message. He has given us the liberty to be creative about it recently. Or this no not this last friday the last time I was in springfield witnessing.

There was this there was this group of girls that came up to talk for a little bit and and the one girl Gave me a little note. It was just a piece of notebook paper like this. Folded down. And it said for you.

And she said here. I think this is for you. And and said read it sometime maybe that I can't remember if it was taped shut or something. So I stuck it in my pocket told her. Thank you and and later I opened it and We can say what you want.

Maybe it was cheesy. Maybe maybe um. But but I was blessed like I I think this girl I think this girl was trying to be try it. I think this girl was being Um. Found a creative way to try to spread a little light and the note was nice.

It said you're special. Uh you I have given this either because you look like you need it or um I can't remember. It was something else either because you look like you need it or or Or you look like you deserve it, I think that's what it was um, and and then it had a few it had a verse out of proverbs and uh I don't know this girl.

She looked pretty worldly. I could pass judgment on her. I'm sure I'm sure there's something wanting but I can just say like This this girl found a creative way in her own way as far as I know to just to just spread a little light to spread a little kindness to to uh, um just to spread some joy or make some peace and I've thought of things I've thought of encouraging especially sisters because.

Because uh you're not as likely to be out on the streets, but anybody brothers or sisters like Oh, yeah, you could just you could bring postcards along to church to the church meetings and. Just if if something gets preached or said or a testimony shared that's inspiring.

Just write down what inspired you. And on monday morning put a stamp on it write someone's address on it. Send it away um. Uh, there's all kinds of ways that we can that we can get um. Real and creative and maybe it's such a little thing and sometimes we look at the masses and we look at the.

Look at the the the direction of the world and the chaos and we think it's a hopeless case. What what's the point? Uh, we can't hardly make a difference and yet. If we can make a difference for one man.

And if we can even make a difference for one man for one day, it's not worthless. It's not worthless you know that story about the um there's this story about the guy that Lived by the seashore. And and when the tide went out.

Uh, the high tide came in and then the and then the tide went out. And and on the shore there there was a whole bunch of starfish and and things like that were left stranded On on the sand and they will die there in the sun um if If they get dried up before the tide comes back in and this guy will walk along there.

And he he'd take these starfish and these other critters and toss them out to the water and and a guy was watching him do that and he said. He came down to ask him what he's doing. He said he's he's tossing these back so they can live.

And the guy said look up and down this shore. Do you see how many starfish and things are laying here you can't make a difference. And the guy picks up another one and he says it makes a difference for this one and he tossed it out.

What we do with our freedom Is how we'll be judged. Let's let's glorify him and exalt him as much as we are able as ben sirach says. And how is the father glorified? And John says herein is the father glorified that we bear much fruit.

And there is nothing. Not not only is the father glorified in that we bear much fruit. There is nothing as compelling to the onlooker as a fruitful life. There is nothing uh, there is nothing. Think think about a man think think about.

Hmm suppose you walked up to a cave. And there was a man. Oh. Dressed up in a suit and he tried to convince you. That there's gold and silver and gems down in this cave. Just just go down in there and dig them out.

They're yours. They're they're for you for the taking. First you'd have to decide. I don't know if this is true. I What if. And he starts persuading and compelling and and he starts, you know, he starts pressuring and and and the more he does that the more you're like.
