Today. Today. Right now. Not next season. Not when you're 25. Not when you're 55. No, I want you to go in the field and work when? Today. Now. And how does the son respond? I will not. I will not respond. I will not go. Now, hear me. This sounds normal for us because in 2025, we're used to kids being rebellious. It's normal for you to see little Jaquan cursing out his mother at the restaurant.

It's normal for you to see little Connor arguing with his parents in Walmart. It's normal for us to see little Jesus fighting with his father at Home Depot. I mean, we all in here, black, white, Hispanic, we all in here with rebellious kids in 2025. Yeah, I'll be on the Shade Room app looking at all these rebellious kids, three or old, cussing out their parents like you can't control them.

They three. I'm trying to, sister. But this is the first century. And in the first century, children was not normally rebellious to their parents. That's why Paul wrote, a day is coming in the last days where children will be rebellious towards parents. That's why Paul wrote in the first century, a day is coming in the future. Watch.

In the last days, we will see a rise of rebellious children towards parents. But this is a patriarchal society. Watch. So it was not normal for a child, a son, to disrespect a father. The father gives him, watch this, not a suggestion, not an option. The father gave him a straight command. Go and work in the vineyard today. To which the son gives him back a response, I will not. But watch.

But then the Lord says, but then after a while, man, that word was sitting on that son. And that word was heavy on his mind. And that son was probably being harassed by that word. That word was tugging on his soul. Man, that word was working in his heart. Man, he couldn't get away from that word. This is me. He couldn't escape that word. He couldn't escape the nudging of that word in his heart.

And the scripture says at some point in time in the future. That word got a hold of his heart, and he could no longer rebel against God. The Scripture says he changed his mind, i.e., he repented, went into that field and was fruitful. Man, this reminds me of my life and some of your lives. This ain't Mary J. Blige, but your life. This reminds me. Y'all too young for that, right?

My life, my life, my life. Right, y'all too young for that. If you look in my life and see what I... They too young for that. This reminds me of my life. It reminds me, man, when the word of God came to me and I rejected that word and I wanted nothing to do with that word. Man, some of you was just like that. We don't want nothing to do with God. Man, I don't want to respond to that word.

You've been to church and you run out in rebellion. Man, you see people running to the altar and you run out in rebellion. A message comes to you across the TV. You're running rebellion. You're afraid of God. You don't want to surrender. He might make me a missionary, send me into a country in Africa. He might make me give up everything so we'd be running from God.

But man, is anybody thankful that that word was... Is anybody thankful that that word didn't let you go? And at some point in time, that word wrestled you down to the floor. The Lord was tapping your heart. I know I'm not the only person thankful. Man, that word wrestled me down to the floor. And I finally surrendered to God. And then sometimes I just get a flashback of where I should be.

Eternally damned. Where I should be eternally lost. Where I should be separated from God. But his grace kept me alive while that work. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. His grace kept me alive. Do I got any formerly rebellious saved children in the house today? Somebody give him praise for his word. See, y'all so prideful and arrogant. Let me repeat myself.
