HELLO AND WELCOME TO

YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS CAMP
MEETING 2016. WE ARE HERE IN

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS BEING BLESSED.
CAN WE ALL SAY AMEN TO THAT?
00:01:10.07\00:01:13.07
AMEN! WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED
IMMENSELY BY THE THEME OF
00:01:13.30\00:01:18.61
CHRIST, CALVARY, AND THE
SANCTUARY, AND WE'RE JUST
00:01:18.81\00:01:21.58
GETTING STARTED. AND
THE SPEAKER FOR THIS HOUR
00:01:21.78\00:01:24.71
IS DR. CARLTON BYRD.
HE IS THE SPEAKER/DIRECTOR
00:01:24.91\00:01:28.28
OF BREATH OF LIFE MINISTRY.
ALSO THE SENIOR PASTOR OF THE
00:01:28.48\00:01:31.69
OAKWOOD UNIVERSITY, AND I
KNOW THAT GOD ALWAYS IGNITES
00:01:31.89\00:01:35.62
HIS MIND AND HIS LIFE.
HE NEVER WHISPERS. HE ALWAYS
00:01:35.82\00:01:39.23
PREACHES... SO
SOMEBODY SAY AMEN. AMEN!
00:01:39.43\00:01:41.30
HE'S A PREACHER...
HE'S NOT A WHISPERER!
00:01:41.60\00:01:43.03
AND WHAT HE DOES IS HE IMPARTS,
RIGHTLY DIVIDES THE WORD OF
00:01:43.23\00:01:47.27
TRUTH TO THE GLORY
AND HONOR OF THE LORD.
00:01:47.47\00:01:50.54
IF YOU'RE IN DRIVING DISTANCE,
WE'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO COME
00:01:50.74\00:01:53.17
TO 3ABN. A FEW MORE DAYS
REMAINING HERE IN CAMP MEETING.
00:01:53.41\00:01:56.28
AND WE KNOW THAT EACH MESSAGE
BUILDS ON THIS BEAUTIFUL THEME
00:01:56.48\00:02:01.02
OF REFLECTING AND
UPLIFTING JESUS CHRIST.
00:02:01.22\00:02:04.65
BEFORE WE GO TO THE MESSAGE,
THOUGH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME
00:02:04.95\00:02:07.39
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TONIGHT. MUSIC
HAS A WAY OF SOFTENING THE HEART
00:02:07.59\00:02:13.26
SO THAT THE SEEDS OF THE WORD
CAN BE SOWN. AND I KNOW THAT
00:02:13.50\00:02:17.27
WE ARE GOING TO BE BLESSED.
YOU KNOW, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT
00:02:17.47\00:02:19.87
CALVARY THIS SONG SO
BEFITTINGLY DESCRIBES CALVARY:
00:02:20.10\00:02:23.87
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HEAVEN
AND EARTH. I'VE HEARD THIS SONG
00:02:24.07\00:02:27.64
BEFORE, AND I KNOW AS I INVITE
REGGIE AND LADYE LOVE SMITH
00:02:27.84\00:02:31.05
TO COME OUT, I KNOW...
JUST HOLD ONTO YOUR SEATS.
00:02:31.25\00:02:34.08
THIS SONG SO BEAUTIFULLY
NOT ONLY ORCHESTRATES
00:02:34.28\00:02:36.95
THE MESSAGE OF THE
BEAUTY OF THE CROSS,
00:02:37.15\00:02:38.82
THE IGNOMANIOUS NATURE OF
THE CROSS, BUT THE BEAUTY OF THE
00:02:39.02\00:02:41.89
RESURRECTION. IT TAKES
US BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:02:42.09\00:02:44.59
AND HANGS US THERE AS THE
GLORY OF THE LORD IS REVEALED.
00:02:44.79\00:02:48.03
AFTER REGGIE AND LADYE HAVE SUNG
THE NEXT VOICE THAT YOU WILL
00:02:48.23\00:02:52.57
HEAR IS THAT OF DR.
CARLTON BYRD AND THE MESSAGE
00:02:52.77\00:02:56.30
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:02:56.50\00:02:58.91
SUSPENDED ABOVE
00:03:23.43\00:03:27.50
THE WORLD THAT HE MADE
00:03:27.90\00:03:30.77
AND BELOW HIS HOME IN THE SKY
00:03:31.14\00:03:37.11
GOD IN FLESH CAME DOWN TO MAN
00:03:39.31\00:03:45.52
AND MAN RAISED HIM UP TO DIE
00:03:46.72\00:03:52.63
AND THERE ON A TREE
00:03:54.13\00:03:57.67
THE DESTINY
00:03:57.87\00:04:01.47
OF EVERY FALLEN MAN
00:04:01.87\00:04:07.81
WAS HELD BY THE NAILS
00:04:09.01\00:04:12.11
DRIVEN THROUGH
00:04:12.88\00:04:15.88
HIS SINLESS FEET AND HANDS

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:04:28.03\00:04:30.97
STOOD A SYMBOL OF GRACE
00:04:31.17\00:04:34.24
NOT BASED ON OUR WORTH

BETWEEN JUSTICE AND GRACE
00:05:08.87\00:05:14.84
HE BECAME THE SIN
00:05:15.28\00:05:18.88
HE'D NEVER KNOWN
00:05:19.08\00:05:23.72
AND AS THE SKIES TURNED BLACK
00:05:23.92\00:05:26.76
HIS FATHER TURNED HIS BACK
00:05:27.16\00:05:30.83
AND FOR THAT
MOMENT, HE WAS LEFT ALONE -
00:05:31.16\00:05:37.07

00:11:49.07\00:11:52.51
THE STORY IS TOLD OF AN OLD
COWBOY WHO ONE SABBATH MORNING
00:11:53.71\00:11:58.71
ENTERED A CHURCH JUST BEFORE
WORSHIP SERVICES WERE TO BEGIN.
00:11:58.91\00:12:04.72
ALTHOUGH THE OLD MAN AND
HIS CLOTHES WERE SPOTLESSLY
00:12:04.92\00:12:09.62
CLEAN... THEY WERE METICULOUSLY
CLEAN... THE OLD COWBOY
00:12:09.82\00:12:14.00
WORE JEANS, WORE A DENIM SHIRT
AND HE WORE BOOTS THAT WERE VERY
00:12:14.20\00:12:20.00
RAGGED AND WORN. IN
HIS HAND HE CARRIED AN OLD
00:12:20.20\00:12:24.87
WORN-OUT HAT, AND AN
EQUALLY WORN-OUT BIBLE.
00:12:25.07\00:12:30.31
NOW THE CHURCH HE ENTERED
IN, WAS IN A VERY UPSCALE
00:12:30.81\00:12:35.12
AND EXCLUSIVE PART OF THAT CITY.
IT WAS THE LARGEST, AND IT WAS
00:12:35.32\00:12:39.45
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CONGREGATION
THAT THE OLD COWBOY HAD EVER
00:12:39.65\00:12:44.19
SEEN. THE PEOPLE IN THE
CHURCH WERE ALL DRESSED UP...
00:12:44.39\00:12:48.40
DRESSED TO A TEE.
00:12:48.60\00:12:50.50
SUITS ON, SHIRTS ON,
DRESSES ON, BOW TIES ON.
00:12:50.70\00:12:54.57
THEY LOOKED GOOD.
00:12:54.87\00:12:57.07
THEY HAD EXPENSIVE CLOTHES
ON AND ACCESSORIES TO MATCH.
00:12:57.27\00:13:01.51
AS THE COWBOY TOOK A SEAT IN
THAT CHURCH, THE PEOPLE IN THE
00:13:01.71\00:13:06.31
CHURCH MOVED
AWAY FROM THE COWBOY.
00:13:06.51\00:13:10.19
NO ONE GREETED HIM.
NO ONE SPOKE TO HIM.
00:13:10.39\00:13:14.99
NO ONE WELCOMED HIM.
THEY WERE ALL APPALLED.
00:13:15.19\00:13:20.50
THEY WERE ALL UPSET AT HIS
APPEARANCE, AND THEY DIDN'T
00:13:20.70\00:13:24.13
ATTEMPT TO HIDE IT. THE
PREACHER GAVE A LONG FILLED
00:13:24.33\00:13:29.57
SERMON THAT SABBATH AND HE
PREACHED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
00:13:29.77\00:13:33.48
AND A STERN LECTURE ON HOW
MUCH MONEY THE CHURCH NEEDED
00:13:33.68\00:13:37.45
TO DO GOD'S WORK.
00:13:37.65\00:13:38.98
AS THE OLD COWBOY WAS
LEAVING THE CHURCH THE PREACHER
00:13:39.01\00:13:41.78
APPROACHED HIM AND
HE ASKED THE COWBOY:
00:13:41.98\00:13:43.75
"LISTEN. DO ME A FAVOR. "
HE SAID "BEFORE YOU COME BACK
00:13:43.95\00:13:47.66
IN HERE IN THIS CHURCH
AGAIN HAVE A TALK WITH GOD
00:13:47.86\00:13:51.73
AND ASK HIM WHAT HE THINKS
WOULD BE APPROPRIATE ATTIRE
00:13:51.93\00:13:55.36
FOR WORSHIP. "
00:13:55.56\00:13:57.03
THE OLD COWBOY ASSURED
THE PREACHER THAT HE WOULD DO
00:13:57.30\00:14:02.84
JUST THAT. THE NEXT
SABBATH, SURE ENOUGH,
00:14:03.04\00:14:06.68
THE OLD COWBOY CAME BACK TO THIS
SAME CHURCH, AND HE CAME BACK
00:14:06.88\00:14:11.35
WEARING THE SAME RAGGED
JEANS, THE SAME OLD DENIM SHIRT,
00:14:11.55\00:14:17.39
THE SAME BOOTS AND HAT.
ONE MORE TIME, ONCE AGAIN,
00:14:17.59\00:14:22.19
HE WAS SHUNNED AND
IGNORED BY THE CONGREGATION.
00:14:22.39\00:14:26.63
AFTER CHURCH, THE PREACHER
APPROACHED THE MAN AGAIN AND
00:14:26.93\00:14:30.97
SAID "MR. COWBOY, I THOUGHT
I TOLD YOU TO SPEAK TO GOD
00:14:31.17\00:14:36.97
ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD WEAR BE-
FORE YOU CAME BACK TO CHURCH. "
00:14:37.17\00:14:40.84
THE OLD COWBOY REPLIED "I DID."
00:14:41.04\00:14:44.98
THE PREACHER SAID
"WELL IF YOU SPOKE TO GOD
00:14:45.18\00:14:48.25
WHAT DID GOD TELL YOU
THE PROPER ATTIRE SHOULD BE
00:14:48.45\00:14:51.75
FOR WORSHIPPING HERE AT THIS
CHURCH? "ASKED THE PREACHER.
00:14:51.95\00:14:54.42
"WELL, SIR" THE COWBOY SAID,
"GOD TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE
00:14:54.62\00:15:00.13
A CLUE WHAT I SHOULD WEAR
00:15:00.33\00:15:02.03
BECAUSE HE SAID HE'D
NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE. "
00:15:02.23\00:15:06.37
LET ME BE CLEAR TONIGHT:
00:15:10.84\00:15:13.38
IF GOD ISN'T
HERE, IT ISN'T CHURCH.
00:15:13.78\00:15:18.45
IF GOD ISN'T HERE,
WE'RE NOT WORSHIPPING.
00:15:18.85\00:15:22.92
IF GOD ISN'T HERE,
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME.
00:15:23.32\00:15:28.26
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN
HAVE IN WORSHIP IS THAT GOD BE
00:15:28.46\00:15:33.70
IN OUR MIDST, DO I HAVE
A WITNESS IN THIS PLACE?
00:15:33.90\00:15:36.10
GOD SAYS IN EXODUS 25 VERSE
NUMBER 8 "AND LET THEM MAKE ME
00:15:36.50\00:15:41.30
A SANCTUARY THAT I
MAY DWELL AMONG THEM. "
00:15:41.50\00:15:45.57
AND ACCORDING TO
EXODUS 26 VERSE NUMBER 1
00:15:45.77\00:15:48.18
THIS SANCTUARY WAS
CALLED A TABERNACLE.
00:15:48.38\00:15:50.91
AND FOR GOD TO BE IN THE
MIDST WAS ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
00:15:51.11\00:15:54.45
MESSAGES OF THE TABERNACLE.
00:15:54.65\00:15:56.79
THE TABERNACLE WAS PLACED
DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
00:15:56.99\00:15:59.42
ISRAELITE ENCAMPMENT
BECAUSE GOD WANTED HIS PEOPLE
00:15:59.62\00:16:02.46
TO CONTINUALY REALIZE
THAT HE WAS IN THEIR MIDST.
00:16:02.66\00:16:05.46
THE TABERNACLE AS WE KNOW IT
I SAID EARLIER HAD 3 SECTIONS.
00:16:05.66\00:16:09.93
THE COURTYARD, THE HOLY
PLACE, THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:16:10.17\00:16:14.07
WE BEGAN THIS CAMP
MEETING SERIES IN THE COURTYARD.
00:16:14.27\00:16:17.11
AND WE EXAMINED THE FENCED
AREA AROUND THE TABERNACLE.
00:16:17.51\00:16:20.18
THEN WE WORKED OUR WAY
TO THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE
00:16:20.38\00:16:23.35
WHERE THE SACRIFICES
FOR SIN WOULD TAKE PLACE.
00:16:23.55\00:16:26.92
THEN ON TO THE BRAZEN
LAVER WHERE THE PRIESTS WASHED
00:16:27.12\00:16:30.49
THEIR HANDS AND FEET BEFORE
MAKING THE SACRIFICES AND AGAIN
00:16:30.69\00:16:33.86
BEFORE THEY ENTERED
INTO THE TABERNACLE.
00:16:34.06\00:16:36.32
THEN WE WENT THROUGH
THE DOOR INTO THE FIRST ROOM
00:16:36.52\00:16:38.89
CALLED THE HOLY PLACE.
00:16:39.09\00:16:40.70
THERE WE LOOKED UPON
THE TABLE OF SHEWBREAD,
00:16:40.90\00:16:43.37
THE SEVEN-BRANCH CANDLESTICK,
THE GOLDEN ALTAR OF INCENSE
00:16:43.57\00:16:47.87
THAT STOOD BEFORE THE VEIL
THAT DIVIDED THE HOLY PLACE
00:16:48.07\00:16:51.11
TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:16:51.31\00:16:53.07
AND NOW WE COME TO
THE LAST AND FINAL SECTION
00:16:53.27\00:16:57.98
OF THE
TABERNACLE... THE INNER SANCTUM,
00:16:58.18\00:17:01.25
THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:17:01.65\00:17:04.32
THE ROOM WHERE THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT WAS KEPT.
00:17:04.52\00:17:07.12
THIS WAS THE MOST HALLOWED
PLACE AND HALLOWED GROUND
00:17:07.52\00:17:10.66
FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
00:17:10.86\00:17:12.29
THIS WAS WHERE
GOD WAS IN THE MIDST.
00:17:12.49\00:17:15.26
THIS WAS WHERE GOD DWELT.
00:17:15.46\00:17:18.03
THIS WAS THE ROOM WHERE
ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST COULD ENTER
00:17:18.23\00:17:21.24
AND HE COULD ONLY
ENTER ONCE PER YEAR...
00:17:21.44\00:17:23.81
AND THAT WAS ON
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
00:17:24.01\00:17:25.91
ON THIS DAY THE ONLY
PERSON ALLOWED IN THE TABERNACLE
00:17:26.11\00:17:29.44
WAS THE HIGH PRIEST. ON
THIS DAY NO ONE ELSE COULD
00:17:29.64\00:17:33.92
OFFER ANY
SACRIFICES. ON THIS DAY
00:17:34.12\00:17:37.75
ONLY THE PRIEST WOULD MAKE A
SPECIAL SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS
00:17:37.95\00:17:41.62
OF THE PEOPLE. THERE
WERE OTHER SACRIFICES MADE
00:17:41.82\00:17:44.46
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IN FACT,
THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THEM.
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.10
THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF
THEM. BUT IF THE HIGH PRIEST
00:17:47.30\00:17:50.83
FAILED TO MAKE ATONEMENT
FOR THE PEOPLE ON THIS DAY
00:17:51.03\00:17:53.80
ALL THOSE OTHER SACRIFICES
WOULD HAVE MEANT NOTHING.
00:17:54.00\00:17:57.61
THE WORK IN THE MOST
HOLY PLACE SYMBOLIZED
00:17:57.91\00:18:01.61
THE THIRD AND FINAL
PHASE OF JESUS'S MINISTRY.
00:18:01.81\00:18:04.88
THE PURPOSE ON THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT WAS TO CLEANSE BOTH
00:18:05.08\00:18:08.52
THE SINNER AND THE SANCTUARY.
00:18:08.72\00:18:11.49
THIS CLEANSING WAS ACHIEVED
THROUGH THE WORK OF THE MOST
00:18:11.69\00:18:14.69
HOLY PLACE. NOW
THE MAJOR FURNISHING
00:18:14.89\00:18:19.89
IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE
WAS THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:18:20.13\00:18:24.17
AND THAT'S MY ASSIGNMENT, PREACH
ON THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:18:24.37\00:18:29.60
SO I'M NOT GOING TO DELVE
INTO THE DAY OF ATONEMENT,
00:18:29.80\00:18:33.01
BUT IT SHOULD BE KNOWN THAT ALL
OF THE CEREMONY ON THE DAY OF
00:18:33.21\00:18:35.81
ATONEMENT WAS CENTERED
AROUND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:18:36.01\00:18:40.25
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL
PIECE OF FURNITURE.
00:18:40.45\00:18:43.18
THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT WAS A WORK OF ART.
00:18:43.39\00:18:45.92
AND IF IT EXISTED ON EARTH
TODAY, IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED
00:18:46.12\00:18:49.96
BY MANY PRICELESS.
COLLECTORS WOULD PAY MILLIONS OF
00:18:50.16\00:18:54.10
DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO SEE
IT, TO TOUCH IT, AND TO OWN IT.
00:18:54.30\00:18:57.53
BUT NO ONE
COULD GET CLOSE TO IT.
00:18:57.70\00:18:59.87
NO ONE COULD LOOK
AT IT, OR THEY'D DIE.
00:19:00.17\00:19:03.57
IT WAS HIDDEN AWAY IN A ROOM SO
THAT NO ONE BUT THE HIGH PRIEST
00:19:03.77\00:19:07.61
COULD ENTER. EVEN HE
HAD TO CONCEAL ITS BEAUTY
00:19:07.74\00:19:11.88
BY THE SMOKE OF THE INCENSE
BURNED OR AS HE WAS WARNED
00:19:12.08\00:19:16.05
HE TOO WOULD DIE
BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T TOUCH IT
00:19:16.25\00:19:18.75
OR YOU'D DIE. THE ONLY WAY
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT COULD
00:19:18.95\00:19:21.49
BE CARRIED WAS BY
STAVES PLACED IN ITS RINGS.
00:19:21.69\00:19:24.86
AND AS IT WAS CARRIED ALONG
IT WAS COVERED WITH SEVERAL
00:19:25.06\00:19:28.50
LAYERS OF SKINS AND SHEETS.
00:19:28.70\00:19:30.97
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT. IT
WAS THE CHIEF AND MOST SACRED
00:19:31.17\00:19:34.97
OF ALL OBJECTS
CONNECTED WITH THE TABERNACLE.
00:19:35.17\00:19:38.21
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SUBORDINATE.
00:19:38.41\00:19:41.21
EVERYTHING ELSE
WAS SECOND TO IT.
00:19:41.41\00:19:43.95
ITS PRE-EMINENCE IS FURTHER
PRONOUNCED IN ITS BEING THE
00:19:44.15\00:19:47.15
FIRST THING CONNECTED
WITH THE TABERNACLE THAT GOD
00:19:47.35\00:19:50.39
SPOKE TO MOSES ABOUT.
00:19:50.59\00:19:52.22
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT CONSIS-
TED OF FOUR DISTINCT OBJECTS.
00:19:52.42\00:19:57.06
NUMBER ONE - THE ARK PROPER.
00:19:57.26\00:20:00.30
NUMBER TWO - THE MERCY SEAT.
00:20:00.80\00:20:03.77
NUMBER THREE - THE CHERUBIM.
00:20:03.97\00:20:06.57
AND NUMBER FOUR - THE SHEKINAH.
00:20:07.00\00:20:09.50
LET'S TALK ABOUT
EACH OF THESE OBJECTS.
00:20:09.70\00:20:12.17
FIRST THE ARK. THE ARK WAS
A BOX OR A CHEST MADE AGAIN
00:20:12.37\00:20:18.01
OF ACACIA WOOD. IT WAS
OVERLAYED WITHIN AND WITHOUT
00:20:18.21\00:20:21.28
WITH PURE GOLD AND HAVING
A CROWN OF GOLD UPON THE TOP.
00:20:21.48\00:20:24.15
IT WAS TWO AND
A HALF CUBITS LONG
00:20:24.42\00:20:26.55
AND ONE AND A HALF
CUBICS HIGH AND BROAD.
00:20:26.76\00:20:29.36
INSIDE THE ARK
WERE THE TABLES OF STONE
00:20:29.56\00:20:33.40
ON WHICH THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS WERE WRITTEN
00:20:33.60\00:20:35.56
WITH THE FINGER OF GOD.
THIS IS WHY IT WAS CALLED
00:20:35.76\00:20:38.73
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, BECAUSE
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE
00:20:38.93\00:20:41.80
THE BASIS FOR THE COVENANT MADE
BETWEEN GOD AND THE CHILDREN OF
00:20:42.00\00:20:45.24
ISRAEL IN WHICH GOD
PROMISED TO BE THEIR GOD
00:20:45.44\00:20:47.84
AND TO REGARD THEM WITH
FAVOR ON THE CONDITION THAT
00:20:48.04\00:20:50.88
THEY HAD TO OBEY HIM.
00:20:51.08\00:20:52.51
IF OBEDIENT THE COMMANDMENTS
WOULD BE A TESTIMONY IN THEIR
00:20:52.71\00:20:55.98
FAVOR. IF DISOBEDIENT THE
COMMANDMENTS WOULD TESTIFY
00:20:56.18\00:21:00.19
AGAINST THEM.
THIS IS WHY SOMETIMES
00:21:00.39\00:21:03.19
THE ARK WAS CALLED
ALSO THE ARK OF TESTIMONY.
00:21:03.43\00:21:06.90
NUMBER 2, THE COVER OF THE ARK
OR THE COVER OF THE SACRED CHEST
00:21:07.10\00:21:11.50
WAS CALLED THE MERCY SEAT.
THE MERCY SEAT SIGNALED TO COVER
00:21:11.70\00:21:17.57
SIN IN THE SENSE
OF FORGIVING SIN.
00:21:17.74\00:21:20.18
THE MERCY SEAT WAS THE PLACE
WHERE GOD HIMSELF SHOWED HIMSELF
00:21:20.38\00:21:25.75
TO BE MERCIFUL IN FORGIVING
THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE.
00:21:25.95\00:21:29.22
I MUST ADMIT I LIKE THIS PART
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE MERCY
00:21:29.42\00:21:32.39
SEAT BECAUSE MERCY IS ONE OF
GOD'S MOST PRECIOUS ATTRIBUTES.
00:21:32.59\00:21:36.56
MERCY IS GOD'S UNMERITED FAVOR.
00:21:36.79\00:21:40.00
MERCY IS WHEN YOU GET
WHAT YOU DON'T DESERVE.
00:21:40.40\00:21:43.90
MERCY IS WHAT WOKE
YOU UP THIS MORNING.
00:21:44.10\00:21:47.10
MERCY LET ME EAT
SOMETHING THIS MORNING.
00:21:47.30\00:21:50.17
MERCY KEPT MY HEART BEATING
WHILE I WAS SLEEPING ALL NIGHT
00:21:50.37\00:21:53.71
LAST NIGHT. MERCY KEPT ME
FROM GETTING IN A CAR WRECK
00:21:53.91\00:21:56.98
ON MY WAY TO 3ABN. TONIGHT
I JUST WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE
00:21:57.18\00:22:01.18
TIME TALKING ABOUT GOD'S MERCY,
BECAUSE WE'RE LIVING IN AN AGE,
00:22:01.38\00:22:05.35
WE'RE LIVING IN AN
ERA, WE'RE LIVING IN A TIME
00:22:05.55\00:22:07.46
WHERE PEOPLE ACT LIKE THEY DON'T
NEED ANY MERCY, BUT YOU AND I
00:22:07.66\00:22:10.99
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW IF
IT WEREN'T FOR THE MERCY OF GOD.
00:22:11.19\00:22:14.86
WE ARE DRESSED
NICE, WE LOOK NICE,
00:22:15.26\00:22:18.70
SITTING UP LOOKING
CUTE... WISE AND OTHERWISE.
00:22:18.90\00:22:21.90
BUT TONIGHT SOMEBODY OUGHT
TO THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCY.
00:22:22.10\00:22:25.61
BUT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE
LORD IF I CAN THROW THIS IN
00:22:25.81\00:22:28.14
IT'S NOT JUST
MERCY... BUT IT'S MERCIES.
00:22:28.34\00:22:33.05
JEREMIAH DIDN'T SPEAK IN THE
SINGULAR WHEN IT CAME TO GOD'S
00:22:33.25\00:22:37.59
MERCY, BUT HE SPOKE IN THE
PLURALITY OF GOD'S MERCIES.
00:22:37.79\00:22:41.52
HE SAID "THE MERCIES OF GOD
00:22:41.72\00:22:44.43
ARE NEW EVERY MORNING. "
00:22:44.63\00:22:46.29
PAUL ALSO SPOKE IN
PLURALITY OF MERCIES.
00:22:46.49\00:22:49.56
HE DIDN'T REDUCE GOD
TO ONE MERCY. HE MENTIONED
00:22:49.76\00:22:53.77
MERCIES IN PLURALITY. HE
SAID "I BESEECH YOU THEREFORE
00:22:53.97\00:22:57.34
BRETHREN BY THE MERCIES
OF GOD THAT YOU PRESENT YOUR
00:22:57.54\00:23:00.88
BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE. "
MERCIES, WHICH MEANS IT'S NOT
00:23:01.04\00:23:05.41
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU A
SECOND CHANCE, BUT IT'S THE FACT
00:23:05.61\00:23:09.05
TONIGHT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU
CHANCE AFTER CHANCE AFTER CHANCE
00:23:09.25\00:23:14.26
AFTER CHANCE. SOMEBODY IS
GOING TO GET THIS IN A MINUTE.
00:23:14.46\00:23:16.83
IT'S MERCIES!
00:23:17.03\00:23:18.36
AND IT'S NOT THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE THE HOLIEST IN THE ROOM
00:23:18.56\00:23:21.00
THAT NEED TO PRAISE GOD
BUT IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
00:23:21.20\00:23:23.53
DONE ALL KINDS OF STUFF
THAT NEED TO PRAISE GOD.
00:23:23.73\00:23:26.90
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF GOD
HAD DEALT WITH YOU ACCORDING
00:23:27.10\00:23:29.57
TO WHAT YOU DESERVE,
IF GOD HAD DEALT WITH YOU
00:23:29.77\00:23:32.27
ACCORDING TO YOUR SIN, YOU
WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE RIGHT HERE
00:23:32.47\00:23:34.98
RIGHT NOW. AND YOU
OUGHT NOT CARE WHAT ANYONE
00:23:35.18\00:23:38.05
SAYS OR THINKS, BUT YOU OUGHT
TO THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCIES.
00:23:38.25\00:23:42.42
SOMEBODY YOU GOT YOUR CAR
THROUGH THE MERCIES OF GOD.
00:23:42.62\00:23:45.39
YOU GOT YOUR HOUSE
THROUGH THE MERCIES OF GOD.
00:23:45.62\00:23:48.26
IN FACT, SOMEBODY SHOULD
BE WALKING THE STREET CRAZY
00:23:48.46\00:23:50.96
RIGHT NOW. IN FACT, SOMEBODY
COULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW
00:23:51.16\00:23:54.46
ASKING THE WARDEN
CAN THEY WATCH 3ABN!
00:23:54.63\00:23:57.43
3ABN... BUT GOD GIVES YOU MERCY.
00:23:57.63\00:24:00.64
SO TONIGHT
YOU'RE LIVING IN MERCY.
00:24:00.84\00:24:02.57
YOU'RE DRIVING IN
MERCY. YOUR HOUSE? IT'S MERCY!
00:24:02.77\00:24:06.21
YOUR JOB IS MERCY;
YOUR MARRIAGE IS MERCY.
00:24:06.41\00:24:09.71
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR
SON, YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR FAMILY
00:24:09.91\00:24:12.48
YOUR FRIENDS? IT'S MERCY...
NOTHING BUT THE MERCIES OF GOD.
00:24:12.68\00:24:16.48
ANYONE WHO'S BEEN
THROUGH WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
00:24:16.69\00:24:19.02
SHOULD HAVE LOST IT BY NOW.
00:24:19.22\00:24:20.76
BUT WHEN YOUR MIND WAS
FALLING APART, THANK YOU JESUS,
00:24:21.12\00:24:23.76
AND YOU WERE TALKING
OUT OF YOUR HEAD, MERCY CAME
00:24:23.96\00:24:26.59
AND RESCUED YOU. YOU
WENT TO BED WEEPING AT NIGHT
00:24:26.80\00:24:30.03
BUT MERCY WOKE YOU UP
WITH JOY IN THE MORNING BECAUSE
00:24:30.23\00:24:32.97
MERCY ROCKED YOU TO SLEEP
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
00:24:33.17\00:24:35.50
TONIGHT SOMEBODY OUGHT
TO THANK GOD FOR MERCY.
00:24:35.90\00:24:39.07
BECAUSE MERCY GAVE
YOU ANOTHER CHANCE.
00:24:39.27\00:24:41.08
MERCY GAVE YOU HELP.
00:24:41.28\00:24:42.64
MERCY GAVE YOU STRENGTH;
MERCY SPARED YOUR LIFE.
00:24:42.84\00:24:45.91
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
BUT I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL
00:24:46.11\00:24:48.25
TIMES, AND HIS PRAISE SHALL
CONTINUALLY BE IN MY MOUTH.
00:24:48.45\00:24:51.95
THERE IS MERCY OVER MY
CHILDREN, MERCY OVER MY FAMILY,
00:24:52.15\00:24:55.59
MERCY OVER MY
FINANCES, MERCY OVER MY BODY,
00:24:55.79\00:24:59.03
MERCY, MERCY, MERCY. I
WILL PRAISE HIM, BECAUSE I'M
00:24:59.23\00:25:02.43
A MIRACLE OF MERCY. AMEN!
00:25:02.63\00:25:04.93
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A MIRACLE.
00:25:06.63\00:25:08.37
IF YOU ONLY KNEW WHAT
I'VE BEEN THROUGH IN MY LIFE
00:25:08.57\00:25:10.54
YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY I
WALK ABOUT THE MERCIES OF GOD
00:25:10.74\00:25:12.71
LIKE I DO. THE ARK
WAS THE DECLARATION
00:25:12.91\00:25:16.58
OF GOD'S HOLINESS AND PURITY.
00:25:16.78\00:25:19.01
AND BECAUSE OF THIS,
MOST PEOPLE ASSOCIATE THE ARK
00:25:19.21\00:25:22.65
OF THE COVENANT, HOWEVER,
WITH JUDGMENT AND WRATH.
00:25:22.85\00:25:26.29
RIGHTLY SO, BECAUSE ACTUALLY
IT'S AN INTIMIDATING AND ALMOST
00:25:26.49\00:25:30.06
SCARY REMINDER OF GOD'S
POWER AND OUR HELPLESSNESS.
00:25:30.26\00:25:33.50
BUT FRIENDS, THAT WASN'T
THE ENTIRE MESSAGE GOD WANTED TO
00:25:33.90\00:25:36.40
COMMUNICATE TO US BECAUSE
RIGHT THERE, RIGHT ON THE ARK,
00:25:36.63\00:25:41.57
THERE IS ON THIS BEAUTIFUL
YET UNAPPROACHABLE THRONE OF GOD
00:25:41.77\00:25:46.68
RIGHT THERE WAS THE MERCY SEAT.
00:25:46.88\00:25:49.84
THE PLACE WHERE THE
BLOOD OF AN INNOCENT SACRIFICE
00:25:50.05\00:25:54.12
COULD COVER A MAN'S SIN.
TONIGHT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS
00:25:54.32\00:25:58.95
WORLD WHO DON'T THINK
THEY NEED SUCH A THING.
00:25:59.15\00:26:01.82
THERE ARE FOLKS WHO BELIEVE THAT
THEY CAN COVER THEIR SINS BY
00:26:02.02\00:26:05.63
THEIR OWN GOOD DEEDS. THEY
FEEL THEY CAN DO GOOD ENOUGH
00:26:05.83\00:26:09.16
TO OUTWEIGH THE BAD
THAT THEY HAVE DONE.
00:26:09.36\00:26:12.43
BUT FRIENDS TONIGHT ALL OF
US HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF
00:26:12.63\00:26:17.61
THE GLORY OF GOD. ALL
OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE
00:26:17.77\00:26:21.21
SIGHT OF GOD IS
BUT AS FILTHY RAGS.
00:26:21.41\00:26:24.25
IF IT WERE NOT FOR
GOD'S GRACE... IF IT WERE NOT
00:26:24.45\00:26:28.98
FOR GOD'S MERCY, IF IT
WEREN'T FOR GOD'S BLOOD
00:26:29.18\00:26:33.66
TONIGHT WHERE WOULD WE BE? AMEN!
00:26:33.86\00:26:36.96
IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE,
MERCY WAS PLACED OVER THE LAW,
00:26:37.16\00:26:41.93
BECAUSE MERCY
TRANSCENDS JUSTICE.
00:26:42.13\00:26:45.23
THE ARK WITH ITS JUSTICE;
THE MERCY SEAT WITH ITS MERCY
00:26:45.43\00:26:49.24
WERE BOTH NEEDED TO REVEAL
THE FULL CHARACTER OF GOD'S
00:26:49.44\00:26:53.04
DEALING WITH MEN.
00:26:53.24\00:26:54.78
MERCY WITHOUT
JUSTICE IS WEAK SLOPPINESS.
00:26:54.98\00:27:00.45
JUSTICE WITHOUT
MERCY IS MORAL CRUELTY.
00:27:00.65\00:27:05.09
WE NEED JUSTICE AND MERCY.
00:27:05.29\00:27:09.36
WE NEED LAW AND GRACE.
00:27:09.76\00:27:12.79
WE NEED RELIGION
AND RELATIONSHIP.
00:27:12.99\00:27:16.77
WE NEED COGNITION AND EMOTION.
00:27:16.97\00:27:20.07
WE NEED
INFORMATION AND INSPIRATION.
00:27:20.37\00:27:23.74
WE NEED INTEGRITY AND INTENSITY.
00:27:23.94\00:27:27.48
WE NEED AMENS AND HALLELUJAHS.
00:27:27.68\00:27:31.08
WE NEED HOLY
SCRIPTURES AND THE HOLY GHOST.
00:27:31.28\00:27:34.95
PRAISE GOD FOR JUSTICE, BUT
PRAISE GOD ALSO FOR HIS MERCY.
00:27:35.35\00:27:41.29
THE BLOOD SPRINKLED ON THE MERCY
SEAT WAS TYPICAL OF CHRIST'S
00:27:41.69\00:27:47.50
SHED BLOOD FOR OUR SINS.
THAT GOD DISPENSES PARDON
00:27:47.73\00:27:51.93
AND ALL THE BLESSINGS OF
SALVATION TO THOSE WHO SIMPLY
00:27:52.13\00:27:55.34
BELIEVE IN CHRIST
- JUSTICE AND MERCY.
00:27:55.54\00:28:01.01
GOD IS NOW SEATED
ON A THRONE OF MERCY.
00:28:01.18\00:28:05.95
AND THOUGH OUR
SINS MAY BE AS SCARLET
00:28:06.15\00:28:09.48
WE MAY WITHOUT THE
INTERVENTION OF A MINISTER,
00:28:09.68\00:28:13.32
WITHOUT THE INTERVENTION
OF A PASTOR, APPROACH GOD
00:28:13.52\00:28:17.59
AND BE INVITED TO
COME TO THE MERCY SEAT.
00:28:17.79\00:28:20.76
WITH THIS, I'M
REMINDED OF THAT OLD HYMN
00:28:20.96\00:28:23.67
COME YE DISCONSOLATE
00:28:23.97\00:28:26.20
WHERE YE MAY LANGUISH
00:28:26.40\00:28:29.34
COME TO THE MERCY
SEAT... FERVENTLY KNEEL.
00:28:29.54\00:28:33.31
HERE BRING YOUR WOUNDED HEARTS
00:28:33.51\00:28:35.21
HERE TELL YOUR ANGUISH
00:28:35.41\00:28:36.75
BECAUSE EARTH HAS NO SORROW
00:28:36.85\00:28:39.11
THAT HEAVEN CANNOT HEAL.
00:28:39.51\00:28:42.18
IN LETTERS OF BLOOD,
IN HIS OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD,
00:28:42.58\00:28:47.66
JESUS, OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST,
00:28:47.82\00:28:51.86
HAS WRITTEN ON THE MERCY SEAT
IN HEAVEN THE CROWNING GOSPEL
00:28:52.06\00:28:55.63
INVITATION... "HE
THAT COMETH UNTO ME
00:28:55.83\00:28:59.23
I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT. "
00:28:59.43\00:29:03.10
WHICH MEANS I DON'T
HAVE TO APPROACH GOD
00:29:03.30\00:29:07.51
THROUGH ANOTHER MAN IN A WINDOW.
00:29:07.71\00:29:10.18
I DON'T HAVE TO GO CONFESS MY
SINS TO ANOTHER MAN IN A WINDOW.
00:29:10.91\00:29:16.72
THAT'S RIGHT! I DON'T HAVE TO
GO PRAY AND TELL ALL MY BUSINESS
00:29:16.92\00:29:20.82
TO ANOTHER MAN IN A WINDOW.
00:29:21.02\00:29:23.46
BUT TONIGHT I'M SO GLAD THAT
I CAN GO BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF
00:29:23.66\00:29:28.06
GRACE, THAT I CAN GO
BOLDLY AND DIRECTLY TO JESUS,
00:29:28.26\00:29:32.97
BECAUSE JESUS SAYS
"IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS
00:29:33.17\00:29:36.40
HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST
TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS
00:29:36.60\00:29:39.64
AND HE WILL CLEANSE US
FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. "
00:29:39.84\00:29:42.61
NUMBER THREE, THE CHERUBIM.
00:29:43.68\00:29:46.45
NOW THE MERCY SEAT WAS SUR-
ROUNDED BY THE GOLDEN CHERUBIM,
00:29:46.85\00:29:51.35
ONE STANDING ON EACH END.
00:29:51.55\00:29:54.79
ONE WING OF EACH ANGEL
WAS STRETCHED FORTH ON HIGH,
00:29:54.99\00:30:00.50
WHILE THE OTHER WING
WAS FOLDED OVER THE BODY.
00:30:00.70\00:30:04.73
THESE WERE TOKENS OF
REVERENCE AND HUMILITY.
00:30:05.13\00:30:09.07
ELLEN WHITE SAYS THAT
THE POSITION OF THE CHERBIN
00:30:09.27\00:30:13.27
WITH THEIR FACES
TURNED TOWARD EACH OTHER
00:30:13.48\00:30:16.81
LOOKING REVERENTLY
DOWNWARD TOWARD THE ARK
00:30:17.01\00:30:19.98
REPRESENTED THE REVERENCE
WITH WHICH THE HEAVENLY HOST
00:30:20.18\00:30:23.65
REGARDED THE LAW OF GOD AND
THEIR INTEREST IN THE PLAN OF
00:30:23.85\00:30:27.56
REDEMPTION. NUMBER
FOUR, THE SHEKINAH.
00:30:27.76\00:30:32.06
ABOVE THE MERCY
SEAT WAS THE SHEKINAH...
00:30:33.03\00:30:36.16
THE MANIFESTATION OF
GOD'S DIVINE PRESENCE.
00:30:36.36\00:30:40.57
AND FROM BETWEEN THE CHERUBIM
GOD MADE KNOWN HIS WILL.
00:30:40.77\00:30:45.47
DIVINE MESSAGES WERE
SOMETIMES COMMUNICATED
00:30:45.67\00:30:49.98
TO THE HIGH PRIEST BY
A VOICE FROM THE CLOUD.
00:30:50.18\00:30:52.51
SOMETIMES A LIGHT FELL UPON THE
ANGEL AT THE RIGHT TO SIGNIFY
00:30:52.71\00:30:58.65
APPROVAL OR ACCEPTANCE
OR A SHADOW OR EVEN A CLOUD
00:30:58.85\00:31:02.46
RESTED UPON THE ANGEL AT
THE LEFT TO REVEAL DISAPPROVAL
00:31:02.66\00:31:06.70
OR REJECTION. THE
LAW OF GOD - GOD'S LAW -
00:31:06.90\00:31:11.93
ENSHRINED WITHIN THE ARK WAS
THE GREAT RULE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:31:12.13\00:31:17.01
AND JUSTICE.
00:31:17.37\00:31:19.07
THIS LAW PRONOUNCED
DEATH UPON THE TRANSGRESSOR
00:31:19.27\00:31:24.55
BUT ABOVE THE LAW
WAS THE MERCY SEAT
00:31:24.75\00:31:28.75
UPON WHICH THE
PRESENCE OF GOD WAS REVEALED
00:31:28.95\00:31:32.55
AND FROM WHICH BY
VIRTUE OF THE ATONEMENT, PARDON
00:31:32.75\00:31:37.23
WAS GRANTED TO
THE REPENTANT SINNER.
00:31:37.43\00:31:40.16
THUS IN THE WORK OF
CHRIST FOR OUR REDEMPTION
00:31:40.76\00:31:43.63
SYMBOLIZED BY
THE SANCTUARY SERVICE
00:31:43.83\00:31:47.60
MERCY AND TRUTH MET TOGETHER.
00:31:47.80\00:31:51.54
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
PEACE HAVE KISSED EACH OTHER.
00:31:51.94\00:31:56.48
THE TWO TABLES OF STONE
WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:31:56.68\00:32:01.95
WRITTEN BY THE FINGER OF GOD
00:32:02.15\00:32:04.92
WERE THE PRINCIPAL
DEPOSITS THE ARK CONTAINED.
00:32:05.12\00:32:08.62
THESE ARE THE TWO TWIN PILLARS
00:32:09.02\00:32:12.33
SUPPORTING THE
MORAL GOVERNMENT OF GOD.
00:32:12.53\00:32:15.96
THEY REMIND US THAT
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH ARE THE
00:32:16.16\00:32:20.44
FOUNDATION OF GOD'S THRONE...
ATTRIBUTES WHICH FALLEN MAN
00:32:20.64\00:32:25.07
CAN LOOK FOR
NOTHING BUT CONDEMNATION.
00:32:25.27\00:32:28.18
BUT TONIGHT
PRAISE BE TO GOD - AMEN -
00:32:28.38\00:32:33.08
PRAISE BE TO GOD THAT
THAT'S NOT THE WHOLE STORY.
00:32:33.28\00:32:37.62
PRAISE BE TO GOD THAT THE MERCY
SEAT IS SPRINKLED WITH BLOOD...
00:32:37.82\00:32:43.29
AND THAT SPEAKS OF GOD'S MERCY.
00:32:43.49\00:32:47.10
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH ARE
VERY STILL AS THEY EVER SHALL BE
00:32:47.30\00:32:51.70
THE FOUNDATION OF GOD'S THRONE.
00:32:51.90\00:32:54.67
AND WE STILL HEAR THE
WORDS "THE SOUL THAT SINNETH,
00:32:54.87\00:32:58.21
IT SHALL DIE. "
00:32:58.41\00:33:00.08
BUT THE WAGES OF SIN MIGHT
BE DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD
00:33:00.28\00:33:05.25
IS ETERNAL LIFE
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
00:33:05.45\00:33:10.19
SO PRAISE TONIGHT BE TO GOD
FOR THE BLOOD THAT'S SPRINKLED
00:33:10.39\00:33:15.19
ON THE MERCY SEAT, BECAUSE ONLY
THE BLOOD OF JESUS CAN ATONE
00:33:15.39\00:33:19.66
FOR OUR SINS. MY
BLOOD CAN'T DO IT.
00:33:19.86\00:33:22.60
YOUR BLOOD CAN'T DO
IT. OUR BLOOD CAN'T DO IT,
00:33:22.80\00:33:26.13
BUT ONLY THE BLOOD OF
JESUS CAN ATONE FOR OUR SINS.
00:33:26.33\00:33:30.17
ONLY CHRIST, OUR GREAT HIGH
PRIEST, HAS ENTERED THE TRUE
00:33:30.37\00:33:35.04
HOLY OF HOLIES AND
WITH HIS OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD
00:33:35.24\00:33:38.98
SPRINKLED ON THE MERCY
SEAT. SO THAT MEANS THE GREATEST
00:33:39.18\00:33:42.42
TRANSGRESSOR,
THE GREATEST SINNER,
00:33:42.62\00:33:46.65
THE CHIEF SINNER OF ALL
00:33:46.86\00:33:49.89
CAN NOW APPROACH HIS THRONE
00:33:50.09\00:33:52.93
WITHOUT DISMAY AND OBTAIN
FORGIVENESS FOR ALL OF HIS SINS.
00:33:53.13\00:33:57.23
THERE IS A
FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BLOOD
00:33:57.53\00:34:01.37
DRAWN FROM IMMANUEL'S VEINS.
00:34:01.77\00:34:05.41
AND SINNERS
PLUNGED BENEATH THAT FLOOD
00:34:05.81\00:34:09.14
LOSE ALL THEIR GUILTY STAINS.
00:34:09.34\00:34:12.68
THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT, THE MERCY SEAT.
00:34:12.88\00:34:17.32
WHEN THE ENEMY OF YOUR
SOUL RISES UP AGAINST YOU
00:34:17.72\00:34:22.82
LET ME REMIND YOU
THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
00:34:23.02\00:34:26.19
COVERS US LIKE A SHIELD,
AND THAT ENEMY WHO WOULD DESTROY
00:34:26.39\00:34:30.97
OUR SOUL IS DESTROYED BECAUSE
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU
00:34:31.17\00:34:36.97
IS GOING TO
PROSPER. IF GOD BE FOR US,
00:34:37.17\00:34:41.38
WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
00:34:41.58\00:34:45.65
THE STORY IS TOLD OF A FAMILY
00:34:46.05\00:34:48.25
THAT WAS INVOLVED IN A
VERY SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT.
00:34:48.65\00:34:52.82
TIMMY, THE YOUNGER OF THE
TWO BROTHERS INVOLVED, WAS BADLY
00:34:53.02\00:34:58.36
INJURED AND HE
NEEDED A BLOOD TRANSFUSION.
00:34:58.56\00:35:01.56
TIMMY'S BIG BROTHER WHO'S NAME
WAS JOHNNY WAS ALMOST EIGHT.
00:35:01.76\00:35:06.40
HE WAS THE PERFECT MATCH.
HE WAS THE PERFECT BLOOD TYPE
00:35:06.60\00:35:11.67
FOR HIS BROTHER. SO
JOHNNY AND TIMMY'S FATHER
00:35:11.87\00:35:15.84
SAT DOWN WITH JOHNNY, AND
HE EXPLAINED TO JOHNNY THAT HIS
00:35:16.04\00:35:20.12
LITTLE BROTHER TIMMY WAS GOING
TO DIE, BUT IF JOHNNY WOULD GIVE
00:35:20.32\00:35:24.95
HIS LITTLE BROTHER SOME
BLOOD THAT TIMMY WOULD LIVE
00:35:25.15\00:35:29.59
AND BE JUST FINE.
JOHNNY SAT DOWN FOR A MINUTE.
00:35:29.79\00:35:34.66
HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE.
AND THEN HE SAID "OKAY, DAD,
00:35:34.86\00:35:39.77
I'LL DO THIS FOR MY BROTHER. "
00:35:40.20\00:35:43.47
THEY TOOK JOHNNY INTO
THE HOSPITAL OPERATING ROOM.
00:35:44.31\00:35:47.54
THEY HOOKED UP A
NEEDLE TO HIS ARM
00:35:47.68\00:35:50.41
AND THE BLOOD FROM HIS
BODY BEGAN TO FLOW FROM HIS BODY
00:35:50.61\00:35:55.82
TO HIS LITTLE
BROTHER TIMMY'S BODY.
00:35:56.02\00:35:57.89
EVERYTHING WENT WELL.
00:35:58.62\00:36:00.99
THE NURSE REMOVED THE
NEEDLE FROM LITTLE JOHNNY'S ARM.
00:36:01.16\00:36:04.96
JOHNNY THEN LOOKED AT HIS DADDY
00:36:05.16\00:36:09.30
AND WITH A TEAR IN HIS
EYE HE SAID TO HIS FATHER
00:36:09.50\00:36:13.27
"WHEN DO I DIE? "
00:36:13.74\00:36:17.41
THE FATHER SUDDENLY REALIZED
00:36:17.77\00:36:20.71
THAT JOHNNY HAD MISUNDERSTOOD
HIS EXPLANATION OF GIVING BLOOD.
00:36:20.91\00:36:25.68
JOHNNY THOUGHT HE WAS
GIVING ALL OF HIS BLOOD
00:36:25.88\00:36:30.59
TO SAVE THE LIFE
OF HIS LITTLE BROTHER.
00:36:30.79\00:36:33.86
HE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD DIE
AFTER THE TRANSFUSION WAS OVER
00:36:34.26\00:36:38.99
YET HE STILL HAD AGREED
TO HELP HIS LITTLE BROTHER.
00:36:39.79\00:36:45.37
WHAT LOVE! WHAT SACRIFICE!
00:36:45.57\00:36:49.14
WHAT A GIFT OF LIFE! WHAT BLOOD!
00:36:49.34\00:36:54.94
2,000 YEARS AGO, MY
BIG BROTHER, MY JESUS,
00:36:56.31\00:37:02.35
HE WENT TO A HILL CALLED CALVARY
00:37:03.42\00:37:05.55
AND HE GAVE HIS BLOOD
00:37:05.95\00:37:08.76
BUT HE DIED THAT
WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE.
00:37:09.06\00:37:12.49
BLOOD MEANS LIFE.
00:37:13.09\00:37:16.50
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BLOOD,
WHEN LIFE FLOWS FROM THE ONE
00:37:16.70\00:37:21.27
WHO IS LIFE? WHEN THE
LIFE GIVES OUT LIFE IN DEATH
00:37:21.47\00:37:27.48
DEATH IS TRANSFORMED TO LIFE.
00:37:27.68\00:37:30.78
BLOOD IS LIFE. LIFE IS BLOOD.
00:37:31.28\00:37:36.48
JESUS SHED HIS
BLOOD. JESUS IS LIFE.
00:37:36.69\00:37:42.26
JESUS GAVE LIFE.
JESUS GAVE LIFE IN DEATH.
00:37:42.99\00:37:48.93
AND BY GIVING LIFE IN
DEATH, JESUS BROUGHT LIFE.
00:37:49.26\00:37:53.60
ARE YOU HEARING
WHAT I'M SAYING? YES!
00:37:53.80\00:37:55.67
YOU SEE FRIENDS, WHEN
I THINK ABOUT CALVARY,
00:37:55.87\00:37:58.21
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE BLOOD,
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE MERCY
00:37:58.41\00:38:01.01
SEAT AND HOW IT WAS SPRINKLED
AND HOW WE RECEIVE FORGIVENESS
00:38:01.18\00:38:03.68
FROM SIN I'M REMINDED THAT THE
ROMANS MADE ONE CRITICAL MISTAKE
00:38:03.88\00:38:08.92
WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED JESUS:
00:38:09.12\00:38:10.82
THEY SHED HIS BLOOD.
THEY SHOULD HAVE HUNG HIM.
00:38:11.02\00:38:16.36
THEY SHOULD
HAVE KNOCKED HIM OUT.
00:38:16.76\00:38:18.99
THEY SHOULD HAVE STONED HIM.
THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM DRINK
00:38:19.19\00:38:22.96
SOME POISON. BUT
THEY MADE A MISTAKE
00:38:23.16\00:38:25.80
WHEN THEY SHED HIS BLOOD.
BECAUSE HIS BLOOD FLOWED DOWN,
00:38:26.00\00:38:30.41
AND HIS BLOOD HAD A REVIVAL
OVER DEATH, HELL, AND THE GRAVE.
00:38:30.61\00:38:36.08
NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE DO YOU SEE
JESUS'S BLOOD, WHICH IS LIFE,
00:38:36.28\00:38:41.65
ASSOCIATED WITH DEAD THINGS,
AND THEN STILL LEAVE THEM DEAD.
00:38:41.85\00:38:45.52
EVERYTHING, EVERY
PERSON JESUS MEETS DEAD,
00:38:46.65\00:38:51.26
HE LEAVES ALIVE. AMEN!
00:38:51.46\00:38:53.70
HE MET LAZARUS DEAD,
BUT LAZARUS WAS ALIVE.
00:38:53.90\00:38:58.53
HE MET JAIRUS'S DAUGHTER DEAD
00:38:58.73\00:39:01.80
BUT THROUGH JESUS
THE GIRL BECAME ALIVE.
00:39:02.00\00:39:05.47
THE WOMAN OF NAIN'S SON
WAS DEAD, BUT JESUS CAME AND
00:39:05.67\00:39:09.98
THE BOY BECAME ALIVE.
ONE OF THE DISCIPLES SAID
00:39:10.18\00:39:13.45
"CAN I GO AND BURY MY DADDY?
" JESUS SAID "LET THE DEAD
00:39:13.65\00:39:16.38
BURY THE DEAD. YOU'RE WITH
THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. "
00:39:16.58\00:39:20.79
THE
RESURRECTION IS IN THE BLOOD.
00:39:20.99\00:39:24.73
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
00:39:25.03\00:39:27.60
THE BLOOD CHANGES DEATH TO LIFE.
00:39:27.96\00:39:31.17
THE BLOOD FLOWS FROM THE HEAD.
00:39:31.37\00:39:33.84
JESUS IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
00:39:34.04\00:39:37.01
THE CHURCH IS THE BODY.
00:39:37.21\00:39:39.14
IF JESUS IS THE HEAD, AND WE'RE
THE BODY, IF THE CHURCH IS GOING
00:39:39.34\00:39:43.21
TO PERFORM AND NOT BE DEFORMED,
THE BLOOD HAS TO FLOW WITHOUT US
00:39:43.45\00:39:47.12
CREATING A BLOOD CLOT.
TOO MANY OF US ARE CREATING
00:39:47.32\00:39:52.79
BLOOD CLOTS. BUT TONIGHT
LET'S LET THE BLOOD FLOW.
00:39:52.99\00:39:57.26
AMEN. TONIGHT LET'S
GET RID OF OUR ISSUES.
00:39:57.46\00:40:01.13
LET THE BLOOD FLOW. TONIGHT
GET RID OF OUR BAD HABITS
00:40:01.33\00:40:05.63
AND OUR ADDICTIONS
AND LET THE BLOOD FLOW.
00:40:05.83\00:40:08.57
TONIGHT STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT
PEOPLE SAY OR WHAT THEY MIGHT
00:40:08.97\00:40:12.01
THINK ABOUT YOU, AND
JUST LET THE BLOOD FLOW.
00:40:12.21\00:40:15.28
LET GO OF YOUR PAST,
AND LET THE BLOOD FLOW.
00:40:16.18\00:40:22.15
BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE
MISTAKES YOU HAVE MADE, AND THE
00:40:22.35\00:40:24.69
FACT YOU ARE STILL HERE, IT
OUGHT TO TELL YOU THAT THERE IS
00:40:24.89\00:40:28.66
POWER IN THE BLOOD. AMEN!
00:40:28.86\00:40:31.79
WOULD YOU BE FREE
FROM THE BURDEN OF SIN?
00:40:31.99\00:40:34.83
THERE'S POWER IN
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
00:40:35.03\00:40:39.30
AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
WHERE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
00:40:39.50\00:40:42.24
OR WHERE YOU COULD
HAVE BEEN, THERE'S POWER
00:40:42.44\00:40:45.97
IN THE BLOOD. SO
TONIGHT I PRAISE GOD
00:40:46.17\00:40:50.88
FOR THE COURTYARD. I
PRAISE GOD FOR THE HOLY PLACE.
00:40:51.08\00:40:56.35
I PRAISE GOD FOR
THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:40:56.55\00:41:00.16
I PRAISE GOD FOR THE ARK OF
THE COVENANT THAT'S IN THE MOST
00:41:00.36\00:41:03.93
HOLY PLACE. I PRAISE GOD
TONIGHT FOR THE MERCY SEAT
00:41:04.13\00:41:07.60
THAT COVERS THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:41:07.83\00:41:10.97
AND I PRAISE GOD FOR THE MERCY
SEAT BECAUSE IT'S THE BLOOD
00:41:11.17\00:41:14.74
THAT SPRINKLES
ON THE MERCY SEAT!
00:41:15.04\00:41:18.34
THANK GOD FOR THE BLOOD TONIGHT.
00:41:18.54\00:41:21.18
PRAISE GOD FOR
THE BLOOD TONIGHT.
00:41:21.48\00:41:24.21
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY
ALL THE TIME THEY DON'T LIKE
00:41:24.38\00:41:27.68
CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE
CHRISTIANITY IS A BLOODY
00:41:27.88\00:41:31.19
RELIGION. THEY
WANT A DRY RELIGION.
00:41:31.39\00:41:35.89
THEY WANT ISRAEL.
THEY WANT BUDDHISM.
00:41:37.09\00:41:40.46
THEY WANT
HINDUISM. THEY WANT JUDAISM.
00:41:40.66\00:41:44.80
THEY WANT SIKHISM.
BUT TONIGHT I WANT JESUS.
00:41:45.00\00:41:50.57
I DON'T WANT
MUHAMMAD. I DON'T WANT BUDDHA.
00:41:50.77\00:41:55.84
I DON'T WANT BRAHMA.
I DON'T WANT CONFUCIUS.
00:41:56.04\00:42:01.05
I DON'T WANT
NANAK... I WANT JESUS!
00:42:01.25\00:42:06.42
I WANT THIS BLOODY RELIGION.
00:42:06.86\00:42:10.86
BECAUSE WHAT CAN
WASH AWAY MY SINS?
00:42:11.06\00:42:13.80
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:42:14.00\00:42:16.36
WHAT CAN MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN?
00:42:16.56\00:42:18.90
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:42:19.10\00:42:21.54
THANK GOD FOR THE
SHED BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:42:21.74\00:42:25.11
WITHOUT THE BLOOD
I WOULDN'T BE HERE.
00:42:25.31\00:42:27.24
WITHOUT THE BLOOD
YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE.
00:42:27.44\00:42:29.18
WITHOUT THE BLOOD
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.
00:42:29.38\00:42:31.15
WITHOUT THE BLOOD THERE
WOULD BE NO REMISSION OF SINS.
00:42:31.35\00:42:33.78
WITHOUT THE BLOOD MY
SINS WOULDN'T BE WASHED AWAY.
00:42:33.98\00:42:36.32
WITHOUT THE
BLOOD I HAVE NO HOPE.
00:42:36.52\00:42:38.35
WITHOUT THE BLOOD THERE
IS NO BLOOD ATONEMENT. AMEN!
00:42:38.55\00:42:42.69
SO TONIGHT GO WITH ME
TO THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:42:43.19\00:42:48.56
SEE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:42:50.10\00:42:53.97
HEAR THE HIGH PRIEST.
00:42:54.30\00:42:58.27
HEAR THE HIGH PRIEST
WHO REPRESENTED THE PEOPLE.
00:42:58.67\00:43:03.75
HEAR THE HIGH
PRIEST. LET GOD FOR HIMSELF
00:43:04.15\00:43:10.09
AND FOR THE PEOPLE
OBTAIN FORGIVENESS FROM SIN.
00:43:10.29\00:43:14.16
IT WAS ON ACCOUNT OF
WHAT THE BLOOD PREFIGURES
00:43:15.16\00:43:18.63
THAT GOD AND SINFUL MEN COULD
MEET BEFORE THE GOLDEN THRONE.
00:43:18.83\00:43:22.76
JESUS IS NOW THE TRUE
PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS.
00:43:22.96\00:43:28.74
AND HERE AND NOWHERE ELSE
00:43:29.14\00:43:33.11
CAN GOD AND
SINNERS, CAN HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:43:33.34\00:43:39.41
NOW MEET.
00:43:39.75\00:43:42.02
IF WE SEEK GOD HERE,
00:43:42.45\00:43:45.22
IF WE SEEK GOD
AT THE MERCY SEAT,
00:43:45.62\00:43:48.56
WE WILL FIND GOD.
00:43:48.76\00:43:50.49
AND WE WILL FIND HIM HERE -
EVER READY TO HEAR AND ANSWER
00:43:50.69\00:43:53.46
OUR PETITIONS. WE WILL
FIND HIM HERE AND READY TO
00:43:53.66\00:43:56.80
FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS.
00:43:57.00\00:43:58.50
WE WILL FIND HIM HERE
AND READY TO DO EXCEEDING
00:43:58.90\00:44:02.04
ABUNDANTLY AND ABOVE
ALL WE COULD EVER ASK FOR.
00:44:02.24\00:44:05.87
HAVE YOU EVER MET GOD HERE?
00:44:07.11\00:44:10.95
DO YOU COME DAILY,
FRIENDS, TO THE MERCY SEAT?
00:44:11.81\00:44:15.05
DO YOU CRY FOR
PARDON FOR YOUR SINS?
00:44:15.98\00:44:18.32
GRACE TO HELP YOU IN NEED?
00:44:18.52\00:44:21.62
AND LIGHT TO GUIDE YOU
IN THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO?
00:44:21.82\00:44:24.66
IF YOU DO, PLEASE CONTINUE.
00:44:25.76\00:44:29.53
IF YOU DON'T, PLEASE START.
00:44:30.53\00:44:34.44
AMAZING GRACE,
HOW SWEET THE SOUND
00:44:34.64\00:44:39.07
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME.
00:44:39.57\00:44:43.31
I ONCE WAS LOST,
00:44:44.01\00:44:46.58
BUT NOW I'M FOUND...
00:44:46.98\00:44:50.89
I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.
00:44:51.19\00:44:56.16
GOD'S GRACE. GOD'S MERCY.
00:44:57.43\00:45:01.90
IT STILL AMAZES ME.
IT STILL BLOWS MY MIND.
00:45:02.10\00:45:07.94
I'M STILL AMAZED.
00:45:09.30\00:45:11.61
I'M STILL AMAZED HOW A BROWN COW
00:45:11.81\00:45:18.28
CAN EAT GREEN GRASS
AND GIVE OFF WHITE MILK.
00:45:18.48\00:45:22.98
JUST LIKE I'M AMAZED
00:45:27.89\00:45:29.96
HOW THIS BROWN SOUL
00:45:30.36\00:45:32.63
CAN BE DIPPED IN RED BLOOD
AND COME OUT WHITE AS SNOW.
00:45:32.83\00:45:38.13
AMEN!
00:45:38.33\00:45:40.04
GOD'S GRACE, GOD'S
MERCY IS STILL AMAZING.
00:45:40.54\00:45:46.31
THAT'S RIGHT. I
DON'T DESERVE IT.
00:45:46.74\00:45:48.74
YOU DON'T DESERVE IT.
BUT WE PRAISE GOD FOR IT.
00:45:49.14\00:45:54.32
AMEN. AMEN.
00:45:54.52\00:45:55.88
AS WE CLOSE,
LISTEN TO SR. YVONNE LEWIS

00:46:41.70\00:46:44.87
LIKE A RIVER
00:46:45.07\00:46:48.64
WITH NO END.
00:46:48.84\00:46:51.77
IT OVERWHELMS ME...
00:46:51.97\00:46:57.95
COVERS MY SIN.
00:46:58.25\00:47:04.32
EACH TIME I COME INTO
00:47:04.49\00:47:08.59
YOUR PRESENCE
00:47:08.79\00:47:11.83
I STAND IN WONDER
00:47:12.03\00:47:15.33

AND THE HEALER
00:48:29.87\00:48:33.41

00:48:33.61\00:48:36.54
WHAT CAN I GIVE YOU?
00:48:36.95\00:48:42.12
OH, WHAT CAN I SAY?
00:48:43.59\00:48:48.46
I KNOW THERE'S NO WAY

00:51:38.13\00:51:41.06

00:51:41.26\00:51:44.10
IT WAS IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE
00:51:46.77\00:51:48.70
THAT THE SINNER AND THE
SANCTUARY WERE BOTH CLEANSED.
00:51:49.84\00:51:54.38

COMMANDMENTS WERE THERE.
00:51:54.88\00:51:58.25

THE GATES INTO THE CITY. "
00:53:55.46\00:53:57.83
WE'RE CLEAR TONIGHT.
00:54:00.04\00:54:01.67
WE ARE NOT SAVED BECAUSE
WE KEEP YOUR COMMANDMENTS
00:54:02.74\00:54:05.74
BUT WE'RE SAVED TONIGHT
00:54:07.08\00:54:08.98
BECAUSE OF THE
BLOOD OF JESUS. AMEN!
00:54:09.38\00:54:11.88
WE LOVE YOU; WE
PRAISE YOU; WE WORSHIP YOU;
00:54:13.05\00:54:18.12
AND WE ADORE YOU.
00:54:18.52\00:54:20.36
IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.
00:54:21.36\00:54:26.43
AMEN! YOU MAY BE SEATED.
00:54:26.63\00:54:28.66
WE THANK PASTOR
BYRD SO VERY MUCH FOR
00:54:33.10\00:54:36.14
A POWERFUL MESSAGE.
AND I KNOW YOU ARE LEARNING
00:54:36.34\00:54:40.74
A LOT ABOUT THE SANCTUARY...
THE SANCTUARY SERVICE.
00:54:40.94\00:54:43.41
AS WE'VE SAID BEFORE, WHEN
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHO WERE
00:54:44.45\00:54:47.08
PRETTY MUCH ILLITERATE WENT
TO CHURCH, THEY WERE ALSO GOING
00:54:47.28\00:54:50.95
TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THE
SIGNS, THE SYMBOLS, THE COLORS,
00:54:51.12\00:54:54.62
THE TEXTURES, THE TASTES,
THE FLAVORS, THE SMELLS OF THE
00:54:54.82\00:54:58.26
SANCTUARY ALL
HAD MEANING FOR THEM.
00:54:58.46\00:55:00.63
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I RAN
INTO A WORD THAT FASCINATED ME.
00:55:01.36\00:55:05.33
THE WORD WAS PROPITIATION...
00:55:05.53\00:55:07.64
A BIG, LONG, $25 WORD...
00:55:08.04\00:55:11.11
THAT TALKED ABOUT WHAT
CHRIST WAS DOING FOR HIS PEOPLE.
00:55:11.91\00:55:16.85
AND I FOUND OUT YEARS LATER
00:55:17.71\00:55:19.18
THAT PROPITIATION
SIMPLY MEANS A LEANING TOWARDS.
00:55:19.38\00:55:23.89
NOW THAT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
00:55:24.09\00:55:26.05
BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO TO GOD,
00:55:26.45\00:55:29.29
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS A
LITTLE MORE ON SABBATH MORNING,
00:55:29.49\00:55:31.76
GOD IS NOT STANDING BACK LIKE
YOU'VE GOT SOME SORT OF DISEASE.
00:55:32.16\00:55:37.53
THE LORD IS ACTUALLY
LEANING IN YOUR DIRECTION.
00:55:38.90\00:55:41.64
THAT'S WHAT THE PROPITIATION
IS. CHRIST HAS MADE IT SO THAT
00:55:42.04\00:55:45.27
HEAVEN IS NOW LEANING
TOWARDS YOU TO HEAR YOU,
00:55:45.47\00:55:50.05
TO HELP YOU, TO COMFORT
YOU, TO BLESS YOU, TO SAVE YOU.
00:55:50.25\00:55:55.12
SO YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BEG GOD FOR MERCY.
00:55:55.32\00:55:58.55
HE'S LEANING IN YOUR
DIRECTION TO GIVE YOU MERCY.
00:55:58.95\00:56:03.12
HE CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE YOU GRACE.
00:56:03.46\00:56:06.53
HE CAN'T WAIT TO
HEAR YOUR PRAYERS.
00:56:06.73\00:56:09.00
HE CAN'T WAIT TO BLESS YOU.
00:56:09.20\00:56:10.90
THE BIBLE SAYS AS AN EARTHLY
FATHER IS WILLING TO GIVE GOOD
00:56:11.10\00:56:15.94
GIFTS TO HIS CHILDREN,
SO YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER
00:56:16.14\00:56:20.78
IS EVEN MORE WILLING
TO GIVE TO THOSE WHO ASK.
00:56:20.98\00:56:26.21
ISN'T THAT A GREAT THING?
00:56:26.41\00:56:27.95
HE'S JUST WAITIN' TO GIVE
YOU YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
00:56:28.25\00:56:30.69
JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO ASK.
00:56:30.89\00:56:33.12
AND IT IS READY FOR
YOU. YOU CANNOT RUN TOO FAR.
00:56:33.36\00:56:36.36
YOU CANNOT RUN TOO
FAST. YOU CANNOT OUTLAST HIM.
00:56:36.76\00:56:40.63
HE'S READY, WILLING, AND
PRAISE GOD MORE THAN ABLE
00:56:40.83\00:56:45.80
TO SAVE TO THE UTTERMOST
00:56:46.00\00:56:48.90
THEM THAT COME TO
HIM BY JESUS CHRIST.
00:56:49.30\00:56:52.54
DOESN'T THAT
MAKE YOU GLAD? AMEN!
00:56:52.74\00:56:54.24
DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY?
00:56:54.44\00:56:55.78
DOESN'T IT LIFT UP YOUR SPIRIT?
00:56:55.98\00:56:57.31
IT MAKES YOU, AS A PASTOR
FRIEND OF MINE USED TO SAY,
00:56:57.45\00:56:59.38
HUMBLY PROUD...
00:56:59.58\00:57:01.22
HUMBLY PROUD TO BE A
CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.
00:57:01.62\00:57:06.49
AND WHEN YOU READ THAT
LIST OF WORTHIES IN HEBREWS 11
00:57:06.69\00:57:10.79
AND YOU GET DOWN TO
THE LAST COUPLE OF VERSES -
00:57:10.99\00:57:13.83
I THINK IT'S VERSE
40 WHERE THE BIBLE SAYS
00:57:14.00\00:57:15.73
GOD HAS PROVIDED
SOMETHING BETTER FOR YOU
00:57:15.93\00:57:18.63
THAT THEY WITHOUT US
SHOULD NOT BE MADE PERFECT.
00:57:18.83\00:57:22.50
SO THAT MEANS
WHEN ABRAHAM AND ISAAC
00:57:23.14\00:57:26.27
AND JACOB AND DAVID GET THEIRS,
00:57:26.47\00:57:29.54
THEY DON'T GET THEIRS ONE
SECOND BEFORE YOU GET YOURS.
00:57:29.94\00:57:35.05
