00:10 "I heard the voice of the Lord saying
00:13 who shall I send and who will go for us.
00:17 Then I said here am I. Send me."
00:34 Three Angels Broadcasting Network
00:36 and the South England Conference
00:38 present London 2016.
00:44 Last night, campaign speaker Pastor John Lomacang
00:49 made an appeal to us
00:50 and he invited us not to miss tonight's message.
00:55 In fact, he said that a few times so it's good,
00:58 this evening that we have responded to that appeal
01:01 and we are here this evening to hear another message.
01:06 In fact, last night's message was washing away the past,
01:10 washing away the sins of our past,
01:12 and we were reminded that regardless of our past
01:17 and regardless of the greatness of the sins of the past,
01:22 we serve an even greater Savior who is willing to forgive
01:27 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
01:32 And when the enemy tries to remind you of your past,
01:34 what do we do?
01:36 Remind him of his future.
01:40 And so this evening,
01:42 we will be hearing another message,
01:45 part two of following on from last night's message
01:49 on get connected, getting connected.
01:52 May God truly bless us as we hear the word
01:56 that comes to us tonight.
01:58 Before he also does have a word of welcome
02:02 as we know these messages are streamed live
02:05 throughout the world
02:06 and we have someone by the name of Andrew Whittaker
02:10 who was watching from New Hazelton in Canada.
02:15 And he wrote in to say what a program.
02:18 "I'm so blessed to hear these messages.
02:21 We are taking the message to the ends of the world.
02:26 Soon Jesus will return."
02:28 And if there's anyone else watching around the world
02:31 and you want to give your greetings,
02:32 then you can do so via the website
02:34 and we can mention your name as well.
02:38 We're going to ask him to inspire us once again
02:41 as he plays the theme of his message
02:46 is "He Touched Me."
03:04 I was shackled by a heavy
03:10 Burden
03:15 Beneath a load of guilt
03:20 And shame
03:27 But then the hand of Jesus
03:33 Touched me
03:38 And now I am no longer
03:44 The same
03:50 For He touched me
03:53 Oh, He touched me
04:01 And oh, the joy
04:06 That floods my soul
04:12 For something happened
04:17 And now I know
04:23 Jesus touched me
04:27 And made
04:30 Me whole
04:38 Now since I met
04:41 This blessed Savior
04:47 And since He's cleansed and made
04:52 Me whole
04:57 I will never cease
05:02 To praise Him
05:06 I plan shout it while eternity rolls...
05:14 Sing it with me if you know it.
05:16 He touched me
05:19 Oh, He touched me
05:26 And oh, the joy
05:31 That floods my soul
05:37 Something wonderful happened
05:41 And now I know
05:47 He touched me
05:50 And made
05:54 Me whole
06:00 He touched me
06:04 Jesus touched me
06:09 And made
06:13 Me whole
06:25 Amen.
06:32 Can we say amen again? Amen.
06:36 I'm glad he invited us to sing
06:38 'cause I was singing with you already.
06:40 What a beautiful song.
06:41 Wasn't that a wonderful song? Yes.
06:46 Wasn't that a wonderful song? Yes.
06:49 I knew you were here
06:51 but maybe you just didn't hear me.
06:53 The message is clear.
06:55 The difference between who we are and who we can be
06:59 is a touch from Jesus.
07:02 Thank you, Tim.
07:04 I might even have us join again
07:06 and sing that on the end together,
07:07 'cause that's a beautiful message.
07:09 The message and song really connects to the message
07:12 from God's word tonight.
07:15 I'd like to invite you to bow your heads with me
07:17 as we go and open God's word together.
07:20 Loving Father in Heaven, this is Your opportunity.
07:23 I am Your servant. We are Your people.
07:26 Send your Holy Spirit.
07:28 In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
07:33 I remember when I got my first desktop computer,
07:37 you know, back then, when...
07:42 the Apple computer wasn't even a thought,
07:46 back then when the characters on the screen were small
07:49 and almost unrecognizable.
07:52 If you are a PC user,
07:53 this is not meant to be offensive to you at all
07:57 but back when the DOS,
08:00 which is an abbreviation for the disk operating system,
08:03 was the most common thing that is found on a desktop
08:08 and when you turned your computer on,
08:11 you just saw the small little blinking light
08:14 just sitting there.
08:16 We were living up in the mountains
08:18 of Northern California when my wife told me
08:21 to make decision between keeping my motorcycle
08:24 and buying a computer.
08:25 And I wanted both, but she said,
08:27 "Now which one do you think you will live longer with?"
08:30 Ah, okay, I can't argue with that.
08:32 I'm still alive today.
08:34 I got rid of my motorcycle
08:35 but I've had many computers since then.
08:37 And so I took this computer out of the box,
08:39 I was so excited, I connected the keyboard to the tower,
08:45 I connected the monitor to the tower,
08:49 I made all the connections that I needed to make
08:51 and I reached up and pressed the power button
08:55 and nothing happened.
08:58 And I took out the manual and I said,
08:59 "Now that seems to be pretty simple
09:02 what could be the problem.
09:03 So I went through the pages how to connect the monitor,
09:06 yeah, that's it.
09:07 Connect the... Yeah, that's it."
09:09 Pressed the button again and nothing happened.
09:13 And after about a few attempts,
09:16 I decided to call the company that I bought the computer from
09:20 because in my mind I thought to myself,
09:22 "How dare they sell me a dead computer?"
09:26 And I got tech support, it was a very nice lady,
09:30 she said, "Sir, what seems to be the problem?"
09:31 I said, "Well, this computer you sent me
09:34 just doesn't work.
09:35 I mean, it just doesn't work. That's the simple fact.
09:37 I connected everything, it just doesn't work."
09:39 I was kind of flabbergasted, to say another word,
09:41 I was frustrated.
09:43 And she said, "Sir, did you plug it in?"
09:50 Did I plug it in? Hold on.
09:53 And I got on my knees.
09:56 I journeyed under the desk
09:58 only to find out I didn't plug it in.
10:03 Well, I came back on the phone with ever so sheepish a voice
10:07 and said it in small soft apologetic tone,
10:11 "Thank you," and hung up the phone.
10:16 And I came to discover
10:18 the Lord in my early days of ministry...
10:20 That was my first solo Church I got.
10:24 My Church was so small
10:26 that if you came in on a Sabbath morning
10:28 during Church service,
10:29 I say this not to be offensive or to be too descriptive
10:32 but you can take a shotgun and shoot out
10:35 on the congregation and hit no-one.
10:38 I have a picture to prove that.
10:40 I keep saying to my wife,
10:41 "I've got to carry that picture with me
10:43 because when I make that statement
10:45 people don't believe it."
10:46 It was empty.
10:48 But by God's grace,
10:49 when we left there 22 months later,
10:51 it was standing room only.
10:54 With all my black here and all my enthusiasm,
10:57 I preach my heart out.
10:59 I said things I shouldn't have said
11:02 and the members God gave me
11:04 really helped file me to who I am today.
11:07 But I discovered something very powerful
11:10 that you can have the most beautiful exterior,
11:14 you can look so amazingly polished
11:17 but unless you get connected to Jesus,
11:19 there is no power to do anything in your life.
11:24 I've learned, so from now on,
11:26 the first thing I do before I complain to tech support
11:29 is I check to see if I'm connected to the power.
11:32 Let me suggest to you,
11:33 if you've been coming from night to night,
11:34 you know that in order for us to reflect the glory of God
11:38 for Jesus to be seen in our lives,
11:41 for our light to be able to shine,
11:44 we've got to get connected to Jesus.
11:46 What do you say? Amen.
11:47 John 15:5, Jesus made it very clear.
11:50 Look at what he says in His word.
11:52 He says, together let's read this,
11:54 "I am the vine, you are the branches.
11:58 He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears," what,
12:03 "much fruit."
12:04 Together "For without Me, you can do," how much,
12:08 "absolutely nothing."
12:10 I've seen polished individuals struggle with trying to reflect
12:15 and reveal the character of Jesus.
12:18 And they've said to me,
12:19 "Pastor, I've been trying really, really hard.
12:22 What's wrong?"
12:23 I said, "You're not connected." They say, "What do you mean?
12:25 I've been in church all my life."
12:26 I said, "Being in the building does not mean you're in Jesus.
12:29 You've got to get connected
12:31 to the source that knows absolutely no failure."
12:34 That's why belief in Jesus and following Jesus
12:37 requires an action.
12:38 Following Jesus is a lot more than an intellectual idea,
12:42 an intellectual exercise.
12:44 Jesus, following Him begins, what word did I just say?
12:49 Begins. What did I just say?
12:52 Begins a life transforming journey.
12:57 That's what tonight is all about.
12:59 You see, last night was about washing away the past.
13:02 When the past is gone, how do we begin where we are?
13:06 How do we start to move in a different direction,
13:10 think different thoughts, live a different life,
13:13 do different things, have different desires?
13:18 You see, baptism is simply a symbol
13:20 of disconnecting the old power
13:23 and connecting to the new power.
13:26 It is also the act of putting Adam's nature to death.
13:29 As long as Adam's nature remains alive,
13:32 we will always do what we have always done.
13:36 Let me say that again.
13:39 As long as Adam's nature remains alive,
13:42 for you to understand what I mean by Adam's nature,
13:44 when we are born, we are born in sin,
13:48 shapened in iniquity.
13:50 As lovely as we look on the outside,
13:52 unless Jesus moves in, we are all destined to die.
13:57 It's just a simple fact.
13:59 There's only two destinations at the end of this journey
14:03 and I said this a few nights ago,
14:04 there's a smoking seat and there's non-smoking seat.
14:09 I wanna be in the non-smoking one,
14:10 what about you?
14:13 There is the destruction of the fires of hell
14:17 and there are the golden streets of heaven.
14:19 I wanna walk on the golden streets of heaven,
14:22 what about you?
14:24 But I want you to understand
14:25 is when you go from the old life
14:28 and you accept Jesus to do justification,
14:31 that means, as I said last night,
14:32 that is just as if I had never sinned.
14:35 But now all of a sudden,
14:37 this sinful past that has been washed away
14:40 has to be replaced with a new life.
14:42 I asked somebody the question once,
14:44 matter of fact, a family member,
14:47 I said to him,
14:48 he was struggling with a lot of things,
14:50 he's still struggling, he's praying,
14:52 and oftentimes he leans more toward his human nature,
14:55 but I asked him the question, I said,
14:57 "Can you live under the ocean?"
15:01 He said, "Uncle, what are you asking me?
15:04 I said, "Can you live in the ocean?"
15:06 He said, "Absolutely not." I said, "Yes, you can."
15:09 He said, Well, how is that?"
15:12 I said, "Have you seen deep sea divers before?"
15:14 He said, "Yes."
15:15 I said, "Well, how do they stand at the water?"
15:17 He said, "Well, they get air from somewhere else."
15:19 I said, "That's the point.
15:20 When we enter this new relationship with Christ,
15:23 this new life, we are in an environment
15:27 that is hostile to our old life.
15:31 We enter a realm that we have never been in before.
15:34 It almost leaves us incapacitated
15:37 because we don't know
15:38 how to live in this new environment.
15:41 But if we make the mistake
15:42 of leaning on the old way of doing things,
15:45 we will never survive in this new environment."
15:49 So what has to happen?
15:51 Look at Roman 6:3,
15:52 Adam's nature has to be put to death.
15:55 That's what Baptism is.
15:56 Roman 6:3, the Bible says, "Or do you not know
16:02 that as many of us as were," what,
16:05 "baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his," what,
16:10 "into His death?"
16:12 Now, I'm gonna pose a question
16:13 that I'm gonna answer later on in the message.
16:15 The question is why did Jesus have to die
16:18 since He never sinned?
16:21 Why did he have to die since he never sinned?
16:24 Hold on to that.
16:25 I'm gonna answer that later on in the message.
16:28 One of the things that we have to be very clear about
16:30 is when Jesus came into the world,
16:35 He was very God and very man at the same time.
16:39 Amen.
16:41 But what He did was He could not use any...
16:45 What word did I just say?
16:47 Any of His divinity to live humanity.
16:52 Had He done so, every one of us would have been lost.
16:57 He could not use any of His divinity
17:00 to live His humanity.
17:02 So to prepare Him for that, He had to come
17:05 and face the world and face temptation
17:07 and face difficulty the very same way
17:09 that we had to face difficulty.
17:12 And to do that, He came and He took on
17:14 the nature of Adam after the fall.
17:19 Now tonight, I'm teaching, I'll preach later on.
17:23 He took on the nature of Adam after Adam fell in sin.
17:27 So in order to be our Savior,
17:30 Jesus had to replace Adam.
17:35 Jesus had to be subject to the same power
17:38 that Adam was subject to
17:41 and then He had to overcome in the very same way
17:44 that we have to overcome.
17:47 Are you following me? Say amen. Amen.
17:49 Look at what the Bible says, 2 Corinthians 5:21,
17:53 that's why the Bible says this, "For He made Him, that is,
17:58 God made Him, Jesus, who knew no sin to be," what,
18:04 "to be sin for us, that we might become
18:08 the righteousness of God in Him."
18:11 In other words, Jesus had to come down here
18:13 and put on our garment.
18:16 He had to walk where we walk.
18:17 As you know, we've said until you walk in my shoes,
18:21 you don't understand.
18:22 You heard that phrase before?
18:24 People say until you walk in my shoes,
18:25 don't judge me.
18:27 Until you walk in my shoes,
18:28 you'll never know how difficult it is.
18:30 Well, the fact of the matter is Jesus came...
18:32 This is some good news.
18:34 Jesus came to walk in our shoes.
18:40 Heaven saw the urgency. Heaven saw our condition.
18:45 Look at Galatians 4:4.
18:47 The Bible says,
18:48 "But when the fullness of the time had come,
18:51 there was a time God set, God sent forth His son,
18:55 born of a woman, born under," what, "born under the law."
18:59 Now, let me just...
19:01 I'm really in a teaching mood tonight
19:02 but I wanna, I want you to get this.
19:05 I want the new people to get it.
19:08 I want the old Christians to get it
19:11 'cause if you don't get this, you'll fall into the trap
19:14 when people have bad attitudes in church,
19:16 you'll end up saying that's how she is, amen lights.
19:22 We got some folk that after 30 years of being a Christian
19:26 still live like they never met Jesus.
19:30 And they always say, this brother so and so,
19:33 he always had a bad attitude, just ignore him.
19:36 If it doesn't work for you, how can you expect somebody
19:39 who has not been a Christian to expect him to work for them?
19:43 You got to be able to show the world
19:45 that Jesus can work for you
19:48 for them to want Him to work for them.
19:51 If it ain't work for you, you are bad advertisement.
19:54 You ought to go work for the devil.
19:57 No, don't do that.
19:59 I'll give you some hope tonight.
20:00 Amen, somebody.
20:01 But Jesus came,
20:03 He came in the same nature that Adam came in.
20:06 He was born of a woman, took on the human flesh.
20:10 That's what happens when a woman births a child,
20:12 he has human flesh.
20:13 He was born under the law, now when people read that,
20:16 they think that, "Well, was He born
20:18 under the 10 commandants
20:19 or was He born under the ceremonial law."
20:21 While He was born under both, he was born underneath her.
20:27 You got to think tonight.
20:29 When Jesus was born,
20:30 the 10 commandments was in effect
20:32 and so was the ceremonial law
20:34 but that's not what the scripture means.
20:37 When the Bible says He was born under the law,
20:39 it means He was born under a law
20:42 that controlled our nature.
20:45 He was born with a nature
20:47 that if He did not trust in His heavenly Father
20:50 for deliverance, He would have fallen just like Adam.
20:55 That's what He prayed so often.
20:57 We're talking about that on Friday.
20:59 Can you hear me now,
21:00 what it means to pray for power and strength?
21:05 That's why He spent time alone.
21:07 That's why He sweated drops of blood,
21:11 that's why the devil dogged His footsteps.
21:14 The devil would have never sought to tempt Jesus
21:17 if He couldn't sin.
21:21 He would never have been maligned
21:23 if He did not have the possibility
21:26 of losing His temper.
21:30 The Pharisees and scribes would have never said
21:32 what they did to Him
21:34 if they did not think that they could push Him
21:37 over the edge.
21:40 But I'm here to tell you tonight
21:42 that Jesus can keep you
21:43 from being pushed over the edge,
21:46 he can keep you from losing your mind in church,
21:50 saying things you shouldn't say,
21:52 doing things you shouldn't do, going places you should not go.
21:56 But so often we think
21:57 that this Christian life is a second chance
22:00 to do what we could not do the first time.
22:02 But the reality of it is,
22:04 when Jesus was born under the law of sin,
22:07 the law of sin is just as effective as gravity.
22:12 You don't think it's effective?
22:14 If I dropped, if I let go of this mike,
22:16 what's gonna happen?
22:18 How do you know that?
22:20 Because gravity says if you let it go,
22:22 I'm pulling it down.
22:24 The law of sin pulls us down.
22:28 That's why when Jesus comes back,
22:29 we're not going down, we're going up.
22:30 Amen, somebody. Amen.
22:32 He's gonna suspend the law of gravity
22:34 on behalf of his children.
22:36 But the law of sin pulls us down
22:38 in that natural direction,
22:39 which means the law of sin is a controlling law.
22:45 That's why we do what we do.
22:47 But don't miss this next point.
22:51 We are first sinners by nature
22:54 before we are sinners by action.
22:59 I want you to get that.
23:02 You see, when you see a little baby in the crib,
23:05 let me use a very stark illustration.
23:09 When Adolf Hitler was born, I doubt that his mother said,
23:14 "Oh, I can't wait until the day he kills six million Jews."
23:21 Now that's an amazing illustration.
23:24 I'm sure she should did not look
23:25 in the face of her cute little baby boy
23:28 and think that he would be listed
23:30 among one of the worst tyrants that ever lived.
23:34 But why did he get that way
23:36 because his nature was never curbed.
23:38 His nature was never broken, he lived in that nature
23:43 that as one doctor said,
23:44 one of the reasons why God allows babies
23:46 to be born so small is because, he said,
23:49 and this is Dr. Haddon W. Robinson
23:51 in a book called Expository Preaching,
23:53 he said, "One of the reasons why God allows babies
23:55 to be born so small
23:57 is because if they were born at 150 pounds,
24:00 the mother's life will be in danger."
24:04 That's why when that baby cries,
24:06 have you ever heard a baby cry before?
24:08 They can bust your ear drum. Add 149 more pounds to that.
24:15 I mean think about it.
24:16 You try, you miss changing a diaper on a 149-pound baby,
24:21 you see what happens.
24:25 That's an image. What do you think?
24:27 That's something to think about.
24:29 So this nature that we all received
24:32 is a nature that is definitely controlled by law.
24:35 So let me make it even clearer, we are, in fact,
24:39 every day if we don't ask for God to break that power,
24:43 see last night I talked abut being saved
24:45 from the penalty of sin.
24:46 That's what baptism is all about.
24:48 It takes us off of death road and now puts us on a new road,
24:51 which now instead of having to be saved
24:55 from the penalty of sin, we now have to be saved
24:59 from the power of sin.
25:02 Let me ask you the question.
25:03 Is there still sin in the world?
25:06 Is the devil and his angels still alive?
25:08 Have you been tempted
25:10 ever since you've been a Christian?
25:11 Yes.
25:13 Glad you said yes to all three,
25:16 'cause I'm gonna talk about how...
25:18 Thank you, Lord.
25:20 Thank you, Lord,
25:21 that you are not done with us yet.
25:23 Come on, somebody help me out. Amen.
25:29 You see, in order for Jesus to offer us the victory
25:34 over the law of sin, He had to win the victory
25:39 over the law of sin.
25:41 Remember, He was born under that law
25:43 but the good news is every sin that Adam faced,
25:47 Jesus overcame.
25:49 What do you say tonight?
25:50 Every test that we must face, Jesus endured.
25:55 Every temptation that we must meet,
25:58 Jesus met and overcame.
26:03 Somebody might think, "Well, you know,
26:05 did they have marijuana in Jesus' day or crack
26:09 or pornography or strange drugs?
26:13 Did they have that?"
26:14 Temptation only falls into three categories,
26:18 the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
26:21 and the pride of life.
26:23 Together, the lust of the flesh,
26:26 the lust of the eyes, and the pride of, what, life.
26:29 Eve was tempted only in three areas.
26:31 She saw the tree that was good for food,
26:33 pleasant to the eyes,
26:35 and a tree desirable to make one wise.
26:39 Satan only tempted Jesus in three areas.
26:41 And then Jesus said in I John,
26:43 "All that is in the world is the lust of the flesh,
26:47 the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life."
26:49 All that is in the world.
26:54 Look at Isaiah 53:5,
26:57 even deeper than overcoming everything that we must face,
27:02 Jesus provided a means whereby every sin can be overcome.
27:07 Isaiah 53:5, Bible says,
27:10 "But he was wounded for our, " what,
27:13 "our transgressions, He was bruised for," what,
27:16 "our iniquities;
27:18 The chastisement of our peace was upon Him."
27:22 And what else?
27:23 "By His stripes, we are," what, "healed."
27:27 But look at what is says, verse 6.
27:30 "All we like sheep have," done what, gone astray.
27:35 We have turned, every one, to his own way;
27:39 And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
27:44 Let me answer the question in two parts.
27:46 One of the first reasons why Jesus had to die
27:49 is because every sin that has ever been committed,
27:53 ever sin that would ever be committed
27:56 was laid on the shoulders of Jesus.
27:59 Now just to get that, just to allow that to sink in,
28:03 what if you got a call from Scotland Yard
28:07 and your house was surrounded all the police in London
28:10 and they are trying to break into your house.
28:12 And when you go to the front door,
28:14 no, you haven't done anything.
28:16 You say, "Well, what's all the ruckus about?"
28:18 They say, "Ma'am/Sir, we just received a summons
28:24 to put you in jail for 300 years."
28:28 And you say, "For what?"
28:31 And then they say, "The courts have decided
28:33 that every crime ever committed in London,
28:35 now you've got to pay the price for it.
28:38 And you say, "Why? I've done nothing."
28:41 He says, "That's not the point.
28:42 The courts decided to lay the sin and the actions
28:45 and the crime of everybody that ever lived in London
28:48 on you shoulders."
28:50 Now would you go away peacefully and say,
28:54 "Sure, take me away.
28:55 No problem, I'll go."
28:57 Three hundred years, well, I'll do that.
29:02 So do you understand
29:04 why Jesus was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
29:08 yet he did not open his mouth,
29:10 there's only one word I can give you tonight
29:12 that will tell me why He did not argue, love.
29:17 We got to say amen to that one. Amen.
29:19 He loved us so much
29:22 that He looked down the stream of time
29:25 and saw everybody sitting here tonight,
29:27 everybody in your family, every young man born,
29:30 every young girl born, every man, women, child,
29:32 every criminal that will ever commit a crime,
29:34 and he said, "In order for them to be with me one day,"
29:37 because the Bible does say
29:39 that he is not willing that any should perish,
29:43 doesn't want anybody to be lost.
29:44 Heaven's got room enough for everybody.
29:46 What do you say?
29:48 Doesn't make any sense to be lost.
29:50 So He saw us and He loved us.
29:53 As the Bible says in Jeremiah, "With an everlasting love."
29:58 And His left for us was so deep, He said,
30:00 "I would rather pay the price and risk my life being at loss
30:06 than possibly ever letting anyone of my children be lost."
30:11 Come on. Stay awake.
30:13 You can't miss this, it's warm but you got to get it.
30:18 1 Peter 2:24 says it this way,
30:21 look at what He did for us, the Bible says,
30:25 "Who Himself..."
30:27 How many people?
30:29 "Himself." What did he do, he what?
30:32 "Bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we,
30:39 having died to sins, might live for righteousness
30:44 by whose stripes we were healed."
30:49 You see, Jesus understands our weaknesses.
30:52 He knows what temptation is.
30:54 So when you leave here tonight
30:56 and you lose it on the way home,
30:58 He understands that.
31:00 When you have difficulty in your family,
31:03 when you stumble along the way, the Bible says,
31:05 "If any man sins, He has an advocate with the Father,
31:09 Jesus Christ the righteous."
31:12 Just before the series ends,
31:13 I'm gonna talk about the judgment
31:15 and how you can have confidence in the judgment,
31:17 how you don't have to be afraid at the knowledge
31:21 that Jesus is coming again,
31:23 how you can stand before God and fear nothing
31:26 because you know that everything
31:29 because of His love.
31:30 Let me just insert this
31:32 so you can come back at least the last night.
31:35 Do you know that the courts had been rigged
31:38 in favor of the saints?
31:41 Did you know that?
31:43 Oh, let me tell you the story.
31:45 I was reading the book of Revelation,
31:46 this is not in my notes.
31:48 I was reading in the book of Revelation,
31:51 how in the roman courts they had a jury
31:55 just like we have one today and the criminal was on trial
31:59 and there was a judge
32:00 and there was lawyer or an advocate.
32:02 And when the jury could not come up with a verdict
32:06 as to whether or not the accused was guilty
32:08 or innocent,
32:09 it was left to the accused to decide his or her own fate.
32:16 Now let me ask you the question,
32:18 how afraid would you be if you knew
32:21 that if you were declared guilty by your own hand
32:24 that you'll be hanged the next day,
32:26 how afraid would you be?
32:29 Kind of stay up late at night, would that keep you awake?
32:36 But even worse than that, how afraid would you be
32:39 when the judge says bring the bag.
32:43 And they brought a bag before the court
32:45 and they placed it right in front of the judge
32:47 so that he can have very clear vision of that bag.
32:50 And in that bag were only two stones,
32:53 how many stones did I say?
32:54 Two. A white one and a black one.
32:58 Wait, wait.
33:00 I see some of you know where I'm going.
33:02 And just as the sinner was about to reach his or her hand
33:06 in the bag to decide their fate,
33:11 the lawyer said wait, wait,
33:17 I'm gonna give you a white stone,
33:20 this is a tic-tac.
33:21 I know you can't see it.
33:23 If I was thinking I had a big old white stone up here.
33:26 The lawyer said,
33:28 "Wait, I'm gonna give you a white stone
33:32 and a new name is gonna be on it."
33:34 So before you put your hand in the bag,
33:36 hide that stone in your fist.
33:39 So when you put your hand in the bag,
33:42 you already got a stone that's gonna exonerate you.
33:45 Come on, somebody say Amen. Amen.
33:46 You already have a stone
33:48 that's gonna declare you innocent and free.
33:52 How confidently would you put your...
33:55 The judge would be looking at you saying, "What?
33:57 Why does she look so comfortable?
34:00 Why is he not perspiring?
34:01 Why is he not vibrating with fear?"
34:05 That's why the Bible says, "If any mans sins,
34:07 he has an advocate with the Father,
34:09 Jesus Christ the righteous."
34:11 Amen.
34:13 He doesn't wait for you to decide your fate,
34:15 he rigs the court in favor of the saints.
34:17 Daniel 7, persecution was going on but the Bible says
34:22 the time came for the saints to judge the world
34:25 and judgment was made in favor of the saints.
34:29 Hallelujah! Amen.
34:31 So I'm not fearful tonight.
34:32 When I kneel at my bed
34:34 and I ask for God to forgive me,
34:35 I've got an advocate who loves me
34:37 greater than Satan can hate me.
34:43 Satan couldn't hate me more than Jesus could love me.
34:47 He couldn't tempt me greater than God could deliver me.
34:51 That's why the Bible says in Hebrews 4:15,
34:54 he understands,
34:55 "For we do not have a High Priest
34:58 who cannot sympathize
35:00 with our weaknesses, but was in..."
35:02 How many points, church?
35:03 "All points tempted as we are, yet without sin."
35:10 If you want to read that story I just alluded to,
35:12 it's in Revelation 3:17.
35:14 Let me even go a step further
35:16 because that the picture I just painted to you
35:18 made it look like the judge was here
35:20 and the lawyer was here.
35:22 But did you not know this is some serious stuff.
35:27 Did you not know that in the judgment,
35:32 the judge and the lawyer is Jesus.
35:35 Amen.
35:38 Amen somebody. Amen.
35:39 The judge and the lawyer are Jesus...
35:44 is Jesus.
35:45 That may sound grammatically incorrect
35:47 but they're one person.
35:48 The judge who judges our lives and the one who vindicates us
35:52 by His righteousness is the same Man.
35:55 Hallelujah! Now what happen to my hanky?
36:00 It's good stuff.
36:01 I didn't come to tell you how bad you are.
36:02 You already know that.
36:07 Amen? Amen.
36:09 I don't want you to confess to me,
36:10 you better confess to your heavenly Father,
36:11 I can't do diddly for you.
36:15 So allow me to answer the question
36:16 why did Jesus have to die?
36:18 Roman 6:7, the Bible says,
36:22 "For he who has died has been freed from sin."
36:28 When Jesus died,
36:30 not only did He take the sins of the whole world on Him
36:33 but the devil knew
36:36 that when Jesus approached that cross,
36:39 He was not just taking our sins,
36:41 he was taking Adam's nature,
36:43 the very thing that devil did not want to die,
36:46 that nature that is controlling as controlling as gravity is,
36:50 He took the nature of Adam.
36:51 That's what the devil tried to defeat Him before the cross.
36:55 That's why he tried to defeat Him
36:56 even on the cross.
36:58 He tried to get Christ to drink alcohol
37:00 even on the cross.
37:01 He knew that if I could get Him to sin
37:03 before He closes His eyes, I have won and He lost.
37:08 But I want to tell you tonight,
37:10 as gloomy as the cross was, even in His humanity,
37:14 when He said, "Father, if it be Thy will,
37:16 let this cup pass from Me.
37:17 Nevertheless, not My will but Thine be done."
37:20 Jesus approached the cross not because, as they said,
37:24 if You are the Christ why don't You save yourself,
37:26 come on down.
37:27 You know why Jesus didn't come down,
37:29 He could not come down and we go up.
37:34 So He went up and got nailed to the cross
37:39 so we don't have to get nailed to the cross.
37:42 But we do have to die,
37:44 and I'll talk about that in just a moment.
37:46 He faced the death that we should have faced,
37:50 that eternal death, that eternal death
37:52 that is illustrated
37:55 in the fires of hell at the end.
37:57 He knew that for everyone of us that was our eternal
38:00 and final destination, the fires of hell.
38:03 And by the way, let me say something
38:05 that you may not even understand
38:07 but you may not have thought about.
38:09 Do you know Matthew says
38:10 that hell is prepared for the devil and his angels?
38:16 Hell was never prepared for me
38:18 so why am I gonna try to break into the devil's party.
38:22 Amen. Amen.
38:23 He is gonna die.
38:25 I don't wanna die with him, doesn't make any sense.
38:29 But the devil as a kamikaze who knows he has a short time
38:33 because of his hatred for Christ
38:35 and his hatred for the woman, the church,
38:37 and his hatred for us,
38:39 he wants us to join him in his final destruction party.
38:43 But by God's grace, I ain't gonna be there,
38:46 what about you?
38:48 I tell you, I love it when Jesus Christ came.
38:51 That's why baptism is so widely important.
38:53 Look at Roman 6:3, 4.
38:57 Roman 6:3, 4, the Bible says,
39:02 "Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized
39:08 into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?"
39:11 That's that death of Adam.
39:13 "Therefore we were buried with Him
39:16 through baptism into death."
39:18 And here's the good news.
39:20 "That just as Christ was raised from the dead
39:22 by the glory of the Father,
39:25 even so we also should walk in the..."
39:31 What, church?
39:32 "Newness of life."
39:34 The process of us being set free
39:37 is Adam's nature is put to death.
39:38 He is drowned.
39:42 Then he is buried.
39:44 And I tell you what, I've never been to a cemetery
39:48 where a buried man followed me home.
39:52 He better not.
39:54 Some of you West Indians still think that.
40:00 I had a West Indian elder in California
40:03 and he said to me, "When you come to my house,
40:05 knock three times."
40:06 I said, "Why?"
40:07 He said, "Because the dead people knocked twice."
40:10 I said, "You want to box, you know."
40:14 So I went and knocked twice just to irritate him.
40:18 He wouldn't open the door. I said, "Okay."
40:22 He said, "Pastor, was that you?"
40:23 He said, "Didn't I tell you to knock three times."
40:25 I said, "You're an Adventist,
40:26 you know that the dead don't know anything.
40:28 Why you still believe in that foolishness?"
40:29 And then I told him, I said,
40:31 "Do you know that the safest place
40:32 in this city is the cemetery."
40:34 He said, "You could sleep in there, not me."
40:39 When Jesus went to the cross, Adam was nailed there.
40:49 When Jesus rose from the grave,
40:53 Adam stayed in the grave, and Jesus came forth
40:59 to extend to everyone of us a new life
41:02 that we could never have had
41:05 outside of the provision of His righteousness alone.
41:10 That's why when we accept Christ,
41:12 notice Romans 8:1-2,
41:13 that's why when we accept Jesus and we begin to walk with Him,
41:17 notice how the Bible describes this.
41:20 Romans 8:1-2, notice what it says,
41:24 "There is therefore together now no condemnation
41:29 to those who are in Christ Jesus,
41:33 who do not walk according to the flesh."
41:36 That's that all Adam.
41:37 "But according to the," what, Spirit.
41:39 For the law of the Spirit of life
41:42 in Christ Jesus
41:44 has made me free from the law of sin and death."
41:48 And by the way when you read that,
41:50 the law of sin and death is not the 10 commandments.
41:55 It is that Adam's nature.
41:57 It is that nature that forever controls us,
42:00 that nature that if we leave it unchecked,
42:03 if we leave that nature to do what it wants to do,
42:05 it'll make the...
42:09 It'll make a fool out of us,
42:13 it'll make us do things
42:15 that our minds could never have imagined.
42:17 I've seen people that have made attempts
42:19 to live this life and have failed
42:21 over and over and over again.
42:24 And by the way, let me make it even make it clearer,
42:26 when you become a Christian, this is not a second chance
42:28 to do what you could not do the first time.
42:33 So when you're baptized,
42:35 that means you are dying with Jesus.
42:39 To not be baptized means you're dying without Him
42:43 because there's got to be death somewhere.
42:44 You know why?
42:46 Because the wages of sin is what?
42:48 Death. So somebody's got to die.
42:50 I like it a whole lot better if my loving savior says,
42:53 "John, let me die in your half,
42:56 so you don't have to die in your half.
43:00 Let me take the persecution that belongs to you
43:04 and I'll give you the joy and righteousness
43:07 that belongs to me."
43:09 What a Lord? What a Savior?
43:12 Romans 6:5-6...
43:19 I'm starting to hate the clock by the way.
43:25 Romans 6:5,
43:27 "For if we have been united together
43:29 in the likeness of His," what, death."
43:32 What's the next word? Certainly.
43:34 What's that word? Certainly.
43:35 "Certainly," of a certain, "we also shall be
43:39 in the likeness of His resurrection,
43:42 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him,
43:48 that the body of sin might be done away
43:52 that we should no longer be slaves to sin."
43:59 I told that to my mother.
44:01 When I met my mother, she was an alcoholic.
44:03 Smoked two to three packs of cigarettes a day.
44:06 I'll tell you the story at the end.
44:12 I got it started off, I'll finish it at the end.
44:16 "That we should no longer be slaves to sin."
44:19 Sin is not only a law
44:22 but it is an enslaving power.
44:26 Have you seen people
44:28 that cannot free themselves from sin?
44:31 Have you seen them in London?
44:36 They're on the streets.
44:37 Their lives look worn and tattered.
44:39 The scent of sin is all around them.
44:42 But I'm gonna say tonight, no matter how bad they look,
44:45 He is able to save to the uttermost.
44:48 Those who come unto God through Him,
44:50 seeing that He ever liveth to make intercession for us,
44:53 there is no pit too deep that Jesus cannot reach down
44:57 and pull us out of it.
44:59 There's no sin too dark that He cannot save us from.
45:02 There is no challenge so great
45:04 that Jesus cannot bring us victory over that sin.
45:09 That's why he says in I John 1:9 these words,
45:13 "If we confess our sins, he is..."
45:15 What, church?
45:16 "Faithful and just to forgive us our sins."
45:18 And to do what else?
45:20 Cleanse us from most unrighteousness.
45:23 How much unrighteousness? All.
45:25 Say all. All.
45:28 Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
45:31 And I told you last night, when He cleanses us,
45:36 He not only cleanses us but He gives us a new name,
45:39 Revelation 3:17,
45:40 "I'll give you a white stone with a new name on it."
45:43 Tim, He gives us anonymity.
45:45 That's why when He met Saul, He changed Saul
45:48 and gave him a new name called Paul.
45:50 When the Christians of the New Testament church
45:52 saw him, they said, "Wait a minute,
45:53 isn't that Saul who persecutes?"
45:55 "No, I'm Paul who proclaims."
46:00 He said to Peter the man
46:01 who couldn't get his act together,
46:03 the man whose mouth was slower than his mind,
46:06 who always denied His Lord.
46:08 He said, "Lord, I'll follow you all the way to the cross.
46:10 But when they said, "What's your testimony?"
46:12 He said, "I don't even know that man."
46:15 And he cursed to prove his point.
46:17 And Jesus said, "When you are converted,
46:20 strengthen the brethren."
46:21 Do you know who preached on the day of Pentecost?
46:23 Impetuous Peter.
46:25 The Lord finally got his mind
46:27 and his mouth to be synchronized.
46:28 Amen somebody. Amen.
46:29 Some of us are just as messed up as Peter.
46:32 Then there were the sons of thunder,
46:33 James and John, they were loud.
46:35 You know anybody that's loud?
46:37 Don't look around.
46:39 Some of you looking over your shoulder.
46:41 Loud.
46:42 Then there are some people that just don't have any faith
46:44 like doubting Thomas.
46:45 There it is, every day with Jesus.
46:47 He still doubted the capacity and the ability of Christ.
46:51 And Jesus said him,
46:53 "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."
46:54 Thomas, you need help.
46:56 That's why Thomas is not mentioned very much
46:59 in the proclamation.
47:00 He was still working on his faith thing.
47:02 But I wanna tell you this, when Jesus comes,
47:04 Thomas will be there.
47:06 He can fix anything that's crooked.
47:09 I'll tell you, friends, baptism is the ceremony
47:11 that signifies the crucifixion of Adam.
47:14 Baptism is the means whereby Adam's nature
47:16 is put to death forever.
47:18 That's why Romans 6:14 says it this way.
47:22 We always mess this scripture up.
47:23 I'm always upset when pastors twist this
47:25 to mean what it doesn't mean.
47:28 "For sin shall not have dominion over you,
47:34 for you are not under law but under," what?
47:36 Grace.
47:38 The law that Adam was under,
47:40 the law of sin that Jesus was born under,
47:44 that very sin nature that controlled Adam
47:47 after he yielded to Satan's suggestions,
47:51 that very sin that condemned everyone born after Adam,
47:54 that was the law that all of us are under
47:58 until Jesus pulls us
48:01 by His grace from under that law.
48:03 What do you say? Amen.
48:05 That's called justification.
48:06 He takes us off of death row,
48:08 which means we are no longer under that,
48:10 we are under grace,
48:12 for by grace are you saved through faith
48:15 and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God,
48:18 not a work lest any man should boast.
48:19 In other words, you couldn't save yourself.
48:22 It's a divine act to save us.
48:24 Under law, another phrase for under means
48:27 dominion or power or control
48:29 or domination or command or authority.
48:31 In other words,
48:33 when you surrender your life to Christ through baptism,
48:34 the power of sin is broken,
48:36 Jesus is the power that moves in then.
48:40 The control of sin is removed.
48:42 Jesus moves in and takes control.
48:46 Sin no longer dominates you.
48:47 Jesus is the one now calling the shots.
48:50 Sin no longer commands you.
48:52 Somebody told me just a few weeks ago,
48:54 I was sitting down with a young man
48:55 that was fighting with sexual sin for 35 years.
48:58 He described to my wife and I how he would sit,
49:01 he said, "This was a struggle.
49:03 I've been baptized three times."
49:07 Came to my house and said, "Pastor, I want to tell you.
49:10 And, sister Angela, what I've been struggling with.
49:13 He said, "I have been struggling with sexual impurity
49:16 for 35 years.
49:19 Since I was a five-year-old, I was molested.
49:23 And sexual sin was my entire life."
49:27 He said, "Let me tell you how bad it was.
49:29 When I began to pray I was in my hotel room
49:32 and I was shaking like a man on drugs
49:35 because I can hear the pornography calling me.
49:40 It was fighting against me
49:41 and I was crying out in the pain of this authority
49:45 that dominated, that commanded, that controlled me.
49:48 And I was saying, Lord Jesus, save me."
49:53 You see, he didn't know what it's like
49:55 to fight with that.
49:56 He said, "But I kept on praying,
49:57 I kept on praying and I've come over here to tell you
50:00 that now when I walk past a woman,
50:02 I don't even see her no more.
50:06 Don't even phase me."
50:08 He said, "For the first time, I could love my wife
50:11 as a natural man should be able to
50:15 because that power has been broken."
50:16 Amen somebody. Amen.
50:18 There's no drug that can bind you
50:19 that Jesus cannot free you from.
50:22 The power is broken, the control is removed,
50:25 it no longer dominates, it no longer commands,
50:27 it no longer has authority,
50:28 Jesus is the one with the authority.
50:30 That's why He says in Matthew 28:18-19
50:33 these words.
50:34 He declared His status when He rose up from the grave,
50:37 Jesus said "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,
50:41 'All authority...'
50:42 " How much authority, church?"
50:44 "'All authority has been give to Me
50:45 in heaven and on earth.
50:47 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
50:50 baptizing them in the name of authority,
50:53 in the name of the Father and of the Son
50:56 and of the Holy Spirit.'"
50:58 That's the only authority.
51:00 Some people argue,
51:01 "Well, we should Baptize in the name of Jesus."
51:03 Let me tell you what it means when it says
51:04 in the name of the Greek word
51:05 there is dunamis, the authority of.
51:08 The one that devil here, God or Jesus or the Holy Spirit,
51:11 he's afraid of all three because he's in authority.
51:14 When somebody knocks on your door where a uniform,
51:16 you say, "Who are you here?
51:18 Who are you?" "I am a police officer.
51:20 I am under the authority of the Police of London."
51:23 He mentions his authority.
51:25 The authority of heaven is greater and more powerful
51:28 and more commanding
51:29 than the authority of hell will be ever be.
51:31 Praise God for that.
51:33 So now...
51:38 question is, baptized,
51:42 since who we were has died,
51:47 how could who we need to become happen?
51:53 Since who he were has died,
51:55 how do we become who we can be?
52:01 There was a power that held you there.
52:06 But there's a power that's needs to be able
52:07 to keep you here
52:11 because once you're emptied of that old sinful nature,
52:15 you've got to be filled with a new nature
52:17 so that devil doesn't come back in,
52:21 'cause I wanna tell you this and you might know this,
52:24 those of you that may have been a victim of recidivism,
52:27 that means repeat offenders,
52:29 everybody has been a repeat offender,
52:31 you have sinned more than once.
52:32 Come on somebody, confess it.
52:36 Bu the reason why that often happens with impunity,
52:39 and what I mean by that is some people get to the point
52:41 where they don't really care anymore,
52:42 they just keep on sinning
52:43 because they think there's no hope.
52:45 They say, I've been trying, I've been trying.
52:47 And that's just the problem, you've been trying.
52:50 So how do you get to become who God envisioned you to be?
52:54 Galatians 2:20, the Bible says,
52:59 "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless..."
53:04 What happens?
53:05 "I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me
53:09 and the life which I now live in the flesh
53:13 I live by the faith
53:15 in the son of God who loved me..."
53:17 And did what, friends?
53:18 "Gave Himself for me."
53:22 Amen somebody. Amen.
53:24 Christ liveth where? In me.
53:26 Say in me. In me.
53:28 In order for you to be victorious every day,
53:30 you got to have the power of Christ in you,
53:32 the power to deliver you from the power of sin.
53:35 It's a constant struggle, two powers,
53:37 but I wanna tell you,
53:38 the power of God is far greater than the power of the evil one.
53:42 That's why the demons, when they face the disciples,
53:44 when they faced Jesus, one of the demons said,
53:47 "Have you come to torment me before my time."
53:50 They know the name of Jesus.
53:53 There are no atheists, by the way,
53:56 among the evil angels, I wanna just say that.
53:59 Even the devil believes.
54:01 He's a believer but he just does not believe
54:03 that he wants the righteousness of Jesus.
54:05 He is too far gone.
54:06 But let me make an illustration before I close tonight.
54:09 And I wanna tell you,
54:11 pastor introduced tonight's sermon as part two,
54:13 let me introduce Friday's sermon as part three.
54:17 I said to my wife today,
54:19 "Honey, I used to have six page sermons.
54:21 Let me cut it down to five pages
54:24 'cause I can't get through six pages
54:26 'cause I got to make it clear."
54:28 I wanna confess tonight, I only got through three pages,
54:32 I got two more left.
54:34 But if it's clear, that's all that matters.
54:36 You mind saying amen to that. Amen.
54:38 Now Christ in you, somebody gave me a glove,
54:42 it's a nice leather glove.
54:45 I only got one hand.
54:46 It's a Thinsulate, 40 grams, insulation.
54:50 This is you...
54:54 and here's the microphone.
54:58 This is you. Here is the microphone.
55:01 I'm going to say to you, pick up that microphone,
55:03 pick it up. Go ahead, pick it up.
55:06 You've got five fingers, pick it up.
55:10 Go ahead and pick it up.
55:12 Pick it up.
55:15 Let me check, I got five fingers,
55:17 you have five.
55:19 What's the problem pick it up?
55:24 I think they sold me a defective glove,
55:25 it don't do nothing.
55:28 Don't know why I have bought it.
55:30 Glad I didn't but you know what?
55:32 That's the sinner's life without Jesus on the inside.
55:36 Without Me, you can do...
55:38 Nothing.
55:39 Without Me, you can do nothing.
55:41 Say to your neighbor, "You can't do nothing."
55:43 You can fix it grammatically if you'd like to.
55:46 The fact of the matter is
55:47 until Jesus comes in on the inside,
55:50 here it is, are you ready?
55:52 Clean glove that's justified, clean,
55:56 no spots on this thing, smells really good,
55:59 but now I'm going to sanctify it.
56:00 Jesus' gonna move in, He's moving in, He's coming in.
56:05 Oh, he's coming in.
56:07 Yes, He is. Oh, yes He is.
56:10 Pick it up. All right.
56:12 Amen.
56:14 I can do all things through Christ who does, what,
56:18 strengthens me.
56:19 Tim, get to the piano.
56:21 Somebody tonight wants the power of Jesus to move in.
56:25 You've been tired, He wants to touch you.
56:30 See, you can be right here
56:32 but if you don't receive the touch of Jesus,
56:34 ain't no power on the inside.
56:36 I'm gonna ask tonight,
56:37 I'm gonna be very straight forward.
56:38 Could you give me one of those cards, young lady...
56:40 young man, sorry.
56:41 Thank you.
56:45 You want Jesus to touch you tonight
56:47 to make a difference in your life,
56:48 how many of you know that you need the power on the inside?
56:51 Come on somebody. Some of you don't know it.
56:55 Maybe you don't want to admit it publicly.
56:56 Let me ask you a question again.
56:58 How many of you know you need the power of Jesus
57:00 on the inside to make a difference?
57:03 So tonight, I'm opening the doors of this church,
57:06 don't have a whole lot of time to tell you about heaven,
57:10 we'll talk about that in another night.
57:13 But tonight, somebody wants to say, Pastor John,
57:15 Lord Jesus, You have done so much for me
57:20 that it doesn't make sense for me not to accept the fact
57:24 that You wanna move into my life
57:25 and make a difference.
57:27 If there's somebody here tonight
57:28 that wants that difference,
57:30 I'm opening the doors of the church tonight
57:32 to give you that opportunity.
57:33 If you wanna stand and say, I want you to pray for me
57:37 that I can have Jesus to give me the power
57:41 to live a victorious life,
57:42 I want Jesus to move inside of my heart.
57:46 Anybody tonight?
57:48 If that's your desire, just stand up where you are.
57:50 Just stand up.
57:52 Don't ask anybody, they may not need it
57:54 but if you need it, you stand up.
57:57 Now you might have missed what I asked.
57:59 I didn't ask if you want to be a church member,
58:02 I asked if you want Jesus to move inside,
58:07 some of you might say, "Well, I'm already a member."
58:09 I didn't ask you that
58:11 because whether you're a member or not,
58:12 you need Jesus on the inside.
58:14 Amen somebody. So let me ask again.
58:17 Now the reason why
58:19 this question is so widely important is
58:21 if you leave here tonight
58:23 and think you're going to go home and live victoriously
58:25 because you could just really try hard,
58:27 you're gonna fail.
58:29 You cannot do anything that God through His Son Jesus
58:35 is incapable of empowering you to accomplish.
58:38 I'm talking about Jesus.
58:40 I'm talking about the one who never failed,
58:42 the one who knows no failure,
58:45 the one who wants move into our beautiful little lives.
58:48 It may be a torn up and tattered life,
58:50 a mind filled with trails and difficulty, but tonight,
58:53 the Lord wants to make a difference in your life.
58:56 Allow Jesus to reach out and touch your life tonight.
