00:00:09.66\00:00:13.50
WAS TO BE MADE IN HIS
IMAGE AND REFLECT HIS CHARACTER,
00:00:13.50\00:00:17.13
AM I RIGHT?
00:00:17.13\00:00:18.60
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT
WHAT GOD'S PLAN FOR US IS TO BE,
00:00:18.60\00:00:24.23
GOD BECAME A MAN TO
SHOW US HIS NAME WAS JESUS.

VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:53.00\00:00:57.20
>> THE BIBLE IS FILLED
WITH STORIES OF THIS DRAMATIC
00:01:00.43\00:01:02.93
DELIVERANCE WHERE GOD
SETS THE CAPTIVES FREE.
00:01:02.93\00:01:06.93
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:01:06.93\00:01:07.93
ONE COMMON THREAD I'VE SEEN IS
THAT IT IS A MIRACLE OF GRACE.
00:01:07.93\00:01:11.73
I SOMETIMES BECOME FLUSTERED
TRYING TO EXPLAIN A LOT OF
00:01:11.73\00:01:16.10
THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME IN.
00:01:16.10\00:01:17.60
"HOW DO I OVERCOME THIS
AND HOW DO I OVERCOME THAT?"
00:01:17.60\00:01:20.40
I DON'T NECESSARILY UNDERSTAND
THE SCIENCE OF HOW JESUS
00:01:20.40\00:01:25.36
DOES IT, IT'S A MIRACLE.
00:01:25.36\00:01:28.73
BUT IF YOU COME
IN FAITH, HE DOES IT.
00:01:28.73\00:01:32.10
IT WORKS.
00:01:32.10\00:01:33.43
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
YOUR CHAINS MIGHT BE, THE LORD
00:01:33.43\00:01:36.50
CAN BREAK YOUR CHAINS.
00:01:36.50\00:01:39.06
TURN WITH ME, VERSE 1 MARK 5.
00:01:39.06\00:01:44.23
"THEN THEY CAME TO THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE SEA TO THE COUNTRY
00:01:44.23\00:01:47.80
OF THE GADARENES.
00:01:47.80\00:01:49.93
AND WHEN HE HAD COME OUT OF THE
BOAT, IMMEDIATELY THERE MET HIM
00:01:49.93\00:01:52.76
OUT OF THE TOMBS A MAN WITH
AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT, WHO HAD HIS
00:01:52.76\00:01:56.86
DWELLING AMONG THE TOMBS.
00:01:56.86\00:01:58.66
AND NO ONE COULD BIND HIM,
NO, NOT EVEN WITH CHAINS BECAUSE
00:01:58.66\00:02:02.46
HE HAD OFTEN BEEN BOUND
WITH SHACKLES AND CHAINS AND THE
00:02:02.46\00:02:05.33
CHAINS HAD BEEN PULLED APART
BY HIM AND THE SHACKLES BROKEN
00:02:05.33\00:02:08.23
IN PIECES.
00:02:08.23\00:02:09.73
NEITHER COULD ANYONE TAME HIM.
00:02:09.73\00:02:12.50
AND ALWAYS NIGHT AND DAY,
HE WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IN
00:02:12.50\00:02:16.86
THE TOMBS CRYING OUT AND
CUTTING HIMSELF WITH STONES.
00:02:16.86\00:02:22.10
BUT WHEN HE SAW JESUS FROM AFAR,
HE RAN AND HE WORSHIPED HIM."
00:02:22.10\00:02:27.63
IT SAYS THAT HE ALWAYS WAS IN
THE MOUNTAINS AND IN THE TOMBS
00:02:27.63\00:02:34.03
CUTTING HIMSELF WITH STONES.
00:02:34.03\00:02:38.10
NOW WHEN I FIRST READ THIS, I
THOUGHT WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE HE
00:02:38.10\00:02:40.50
WAS DEMON-POSSESSED AND DEVILS
MAKE YOU CLUMSY AND HE FELL DOWN
00:02:40.50\00:02:43.50
AND HE CUT HIMSELF.
00:02:43.50\00:02:44.93
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS.
00:02:44.93\00:02:46.80
I LOOKED INTO IT AND I READ
THE COMMENTARIES AND IT'S VERY
00:02:46.80\00:02:48.80
CLEAR, THIS MAN PICKED UP FLINTY
STONES AND HE CUT HIMSELF.
00:02:48.80\00:02:56.83
IF YOU SAW SOMEBODY SITTING NEXT
TO YOU DOING THAT, WOULD YOU
00:02:56.83\00:02:59.46
WORRY ABOUT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH?
00:02:59.46\00:03:01.90
YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE,
THERE IS A GROWING TREND OF
00:03:01.90\00:03:04.00
SELF-MUTILATION IN OUR SOCIETY
ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE,
00:03:04.00\00:03:08.06
A LITTLE MORE
AMONG GIRLS THAN BOYS.
00:03:08.06\00:03:10.86
AND I VISITED WITH A GIRL WHO
HAS RECEIVED THE VICTORY OVER
00:03:10.86\00:03:14.06
THIS BUT SHE SAID THE ONE REASON
SHE DID IT IS SHE JUST WANTED TO
00:03:14.06\00:03:16.86
FEEL ALIVE,
WANTED TO FEEL SOMETHING.
00:03:16.86\00:03:20.00
WE ARE--OUR SOCIETY, WE ARE
SO--OUR SENSES ARE SO BOMBARDED
00:03:20.00\00:03:24.00
THEY BECOME NUMB, AND THE
DEVIL HAS PEOPLE DESTROYING
00:03:24.00\00:03:28.13
THEMSELVES.
00:03:28.13\00:03:29.16
CUTTING OURSELVES WITH STONES.
00:03:29.16\00:03:31.86
YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
IS TYPICAL OF DEVIL WORSHIP.
00:03:31.86\00:03:36.83
IN VIRTUALLY EVERY PAGAN
RELIGION, IT INVOLVES SOME FORM
00:03:36.83\00:03:42.93
OF SELF-MUTILATION.
00:03:42.93\00:03:46.10
IT MIGHT BE FLOGGING YOURSELF OR
CRAWLING SOMEWHERE ON YOUR KNEES
00:03:46.10\00:03:49.80
UNTIL THEY BLEED OR
YOUR HANDS AND YOUR KNEES.
00:03:49.80\00:03:52.63
OR IT COULD BE--YOU REMEMBER
THE PROPHETS ON MOUNT CARMEL
00:03:52.63\00:04:00.70
WITH ELIJAH, THANK YOU.
00:04:00.70\00:04:02.70
WHEN THEY WANTED TO GET THEIR
GOD'S ATTENTION, THEY JUMPED ON
00:04:02.70\00:04:05.50
THE ALTAR AND THEY CUT
THEMSELVES, THEY PIERCED
00:04:05.50\00:04:08.40
THEMSELVES WITH LANCES
UNTIL THE BLOOD CAME OUT.
00:04:08.40\00:04:11.23
THAT'S TYPICAL OF DEVIL WORSHIP.
00:04:11.23\00:04:12.93
YOUR BODY IS THE
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:04:12.93\00:04:15.46
NOW I WANT YOU TO
THINK ABOUT THIS, FRIENDS.
00:04:15.46\00:04:18.63
IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION?
00:04:18.63\00:04:20.73
PLEASE DON'T GET UPSET
WITH ME, I WANT TO BE FAITHFUL.
00:04:20.73\00:04:22.56
I DON'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO
A REVIVAL LIKE THIS VERY OFTEN,
00:04:22.56\00:04:25.30
BUT HAS THERE BEEN A
GROWING TREND FOR PEOPLE EVEN IN
00:04:25.30\00:04:30.43
THE CHURCH TO BE
PIERCING THEIR BODIES?
00:04:30.43\00:04:34.96
SAY, "AMEN," PLEASE, HELP ME.
00:04:34.96\00:04:38.43
IS THAT PART OF GOD'S PLAN?
00:04:38.43\00:04:41.80
I'VE GOT THIS VERY PRIMITIVE
IDEA, I GUESS I'M JUST NOT
00:04:41.80\00:04:44.80
SOPHISTICATED, THAT WHEN GOD
MADE US, HE MADE WITH THE RIGHT
00:04:44.80\00:04:47.96
NUMBER OF HOLES AND HE DOESN'T
WANT US TO ADD TO THAT NUMBER.
00:04:47.96\00:04:54.76
YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND YET YOU AND I
00:04:54.76\00:04:58.66
KNOW THAT EVERYWHERE YOU GO NOW,
THERE'S THIS GROWING TREND AND
00:04:58.66\00:05:02.30
THE ENVELOPE IS GETTING
PUSHED FARTHER AND FARTHER.
00:05:02.30\00:05:05.46
AND THE KIDS, IT'S NOT
JUST THE PIERCING THE EARS ONCE.
00:05:05.46\00:05:09.46
YOU KNOW IT'S JUST THE WHOLE
RING OF PLACES IN EVERY POSSIBLE
00:05:09.46\00:05:12.46
APPENDAGE AND THINGS
WE CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT.
00:05:12.46\00:05:15.46
THEY ARE PIERCING THEIR TONGUES
AND NOSES AND LIPS AND EYES, AND
00:05:15.46\00:05:18.33
I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE ANYBODY
HERE SELF-CONSCIOUS BUT YOU WANT
00:05:18.33\00:05:21.70
ME TO BE FAITHFUL.
00:05:21.70\00:05:23.16
IF I WAS TO MODIFY MY SERMON
SO IT WOULDN'T OFFEND ANYBODY'S
00:05:23.16\00:05:25.73
PARTICULAR SINS, I
COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING, COULD I?
00:05:25.73\00:05:31.30
ONE OF THE SIGNS OF REVIVAL
AMONG GOD'S PEOPLE, WHEN THE
00:05:31.30\00:05:35.23
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WORSHIP THE
GOLDEN CALF, THEY MADE A GOD OUT
00:05:35.23\00:05:40.60
OF THEIR JEWELRY AND THE BIBLE
SAYS THAT THEY MADE THEMSELVES
00:05:40.60\00:05:44.36
NAKED.
00:05:44.36\00:05:46.03
THEY WENT TOGETHER AND THEN
THEY WORSHIPED, THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:05:46.03\00:05:49.46
THE DEVILS.
00:05:49.46\00:05:51.26
WHEN JACOB WAS COMING TO
MEET WITH THE LORD, A SIGN OF
00:05:51.26\00:05:54.46
REPENTANCE AND REVIVAL AMONG
THE PEOPLE OF GOD, IT SAYS THEY
00:05:54.46\00:05:58.00
PUT AWAY THEIR FOREIGN GODS
AND THEY STRIPPED THEMSELVES OF
00:05:58.00\00:06:00.86
THEIR JEWELRY.
00:06:00.86\00:06:04.33
WE'RE PEOPLE WHO ARE
GETTING READY TO MEET THE KING.
00:06:04.33\00:06:06.83
OUR BODIES ARE THE
TEMPLE OF HOLY SPIRIT.
00:06:06.83\00:06:08.83
AND I WANT TO HASTEN TO ADD, YOU
AND I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO BE
00:06:08.83\00:06:13.13
GODLY SPIRIT-FILLED PEOPLE
THAT WILL BE IN THE KINGDOM THAT
00:06:13.13\00:06:15.50
MAY HAVE WORN SOME JEWELRY
BECAUSE THEY WERE OBLIVIOUS OR
00:06:15.50\00:06:18.06
MAYBE THEIR VISION WAS OBSCURED
BY THE CULTURE AND TRADITIONS
00:06:18.06\00:06:21.70
OF THE DAY.
00:06:21.70\00:06:22.53
BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YA, IF JESUS
WAS HERE, HE WOULD NOT BE GOING
00:06:22.53\00:06:25.06
TO THAT PIERCING PARLOR AND
HANGING MINERALS OFF HIS BODY,
00:06:25.06\00:06:30.76
AND HE'S THE ONE WE FOLLOW.
00:06:30.76\00:06:34.00
WE NEED TO THINK
THESE THINGS THROUGH.
00:06:34.00\00:06:36.33
SOME OF YOU MIGHT TAKE SOME OF
THAT STUFF AND PUT ON THE ALTAR.
00:06:36.33\00:06:41.00
I THINK GOD WANTS US TO BE HOLY.
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.50
I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYBODY
BE ACCUSED OF LOOKING LESS LIKE
00:06:43.50\00:06:47.03
A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE THEY
DON'T WEAR ENOUGH JEWELRY.
00:06:47.03\00:06:52.83
I FEEL MUCH BETTER.
00:06:52.83\00:06:54.90
THIS MAY BE MY LAST SERMON,
FRIENDS, BUT GOD WANTED ME TO
00:06:54.90\00:06:58.16
SAY THAT.
00:06:58.16\00:06:59.76
ALWAYS IN THE MOUNTAINS,
CRYING OUT AND CUTTING HIMSELF
00:06:59.76\00:07:01.96
WITH STONES.
00:07:01.96\00:07:03.10
LEVITICUS 19:28, "YOU WILL
NOT MAKE ANY CUTTINGS IN YOUR
00:07:03.10\00:07:06.66
FLESH FOR THE DEAD
NOR TATTOO MARKS ON YOU."
00:07:06.66\00:07:10.70
IS IT JUST ME OR AM I SEEING
MORE AND MORE TATTOO PARLORS
00:07:10.70\00:07:14.63
AND TATTOOS EVEN
IN CHRISTIAN CIRCLES?
00:07:14.63\00:07:17.83
YOUR BODY'S A
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:07:17.83\00:07:19.36
WHY WOULD YOU PUT
GRAFFITI ON GOD'S TEMPLE?
00:07:19.36\00:07:22.46
AND YOU KNOW I KNOW SOME PEOPLE
HAVE MADE THAT MISTAKE AND GOD
00:07:22.46\00:07:25.76
WILL FORGIVE YA AND YEAH, YOU
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF
00:07:25.76\00:07:28.50
AND YOU CAN
STILL BE A CHRISTIAN.
00:07:28.50\00:07:31.40
I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY
PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE AND GOTTEN
00:07:31.40\00:07:33.23
A TATTOO THAT LIKED IT A
FEW YEARS LATER, ESPECIALLY IF
00:07:33.23\00:07:37.06
IT'S AN OLD GIRLFRIEND.
00:07:37.06\00:07:41.16
AND THE OLDER YOU GET, THE MORE
THOSE THINGS START TO LOOK LIKE
00:07:41.16\00:07:43.66
ANTIQUE MAPS.
00:07:43.66\00:07:46.56
THEY NEVER LOOK
GOOD 20 YEARS LATER.
00:07:46.56\00:07:49.36
I MEAN PEOPLE ALWAYS
HAVE TO SAY, "WHAT WAS THAT?"
00:07:49.36\00:07:54.26
AND ALL THE DUMB THINGS,
IF YOU WANT A TESTIMONY I DID
00:07:54.26\00:07:56.03
EVERYTHING DUMB I COULD DO,
BUT I WAS NEVER--I NEVER DID GET
00:07:56.03\00:08:00.16
A TATTOO.
00:08:00.16\00:08:01.93
I HOPE THAT CONVICTS YOU.
00:08:01.93\00:08:03.26
EVEN PASTOR DOUG DIDN'T
THAT 'CAUSE I THOUGHT YOU CAN'T
00:08:03.26\00:08:06.46
UNDO IT, NOT EASILY.
00:08:06.46\00:08:09.53
NOW SOME OF YOU YOUNG PEOPLE
IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT,
00:08:09.53\00:08:11.73
I HOPE NONE OF YOU OLD
PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT IT.
00:08:11.73\00:08:17.30
SOMETHING ELSE WE NOTICE, IT
SAYS HE WAS ALWAYS CRYING IN THE
00:08:17.30\00:08:22.10
MOUNTAINS IN THE TOMBS
CUTTING HIMSELF WITH STONES,
00:08:22.10\00:08:24.03
ALWAYS CRYING.
00:08:24.03\00:08:26.20
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN
ISAIAH 48:22, "THERE IS NO
00:08:26.20\00:08:28.93
PEACE, SAYS THE
LORD, FOR THE WICKED."
00:08:28.93\00:08:32.70
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST
HAVE BEEN LIKE LIVING IN THE
00:08:32.70\00:08:34.86
AREA OF GADARA WHERE THIS MAN,
THIS CREATURE COULD BE ROAMING
00:08:34.86\00:08:38.96
AMONG THE TOMBS AND THE VILLAGES
SHRIEKING AND MOANING DURING
00:08:38.96\00:08:43.03
THE NIGHT, CUTTING HIMSELF
WITH STONES AND SCREAMING?
00:08:43.03\00:08:45.90
YOU THINK THE KIDS SLEPT
VERY WELL IN THOSE TOWNS?
00:08:45.90\00:08:49.83
ALWAYS CRYING.
00:08:49.83\00:08:51.00
YOU KNOW, THIS IS
TYPICAL OF SOMEONE WHO IS LOST.
00:08:51.00\00:08:55.00
THEY'RE ALWAYS CRYING INSIDE.
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.96
THERE'S NO
PEACE, THERE'S NO REST.
00:08:56.96\00:08:58.96
THEY DON'T HAVE THAT
JOY AND THAT HAPPINESS.
00:08:58.96\00:09:03.73
ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE YOU THAT
PEACE, PERFECT PEACE, HAVE THEY
00:09:03.73\00:09:07.33
THAT LOVE THY LAW AND
NOTHING WILL OFFEND THEM.
00:09:07.33\00:09:10.36
I'VE COME TO GIVE YOU A PEACE
THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING.
00:09:10.36\00:09:14.13
THIS MAN HAD NO PEACE.
00:09:14.13\00:09:16.36
AND THE OTHER THING WE NOTICE
IS HE WOULD USE HIS SUPERNATURAL
00:09:16.36\00:09:19.90
STRENGTH TO BREAK HIS CHAINS.
00:09:19.90\00:09:22.03
HE BROKE THE CHAINS BUT
HE STILL HAD THE SHACKLES.
00:09:22.03\00:09:25.60
HE DIDN'T WANT ANY RESTRICTION.
00:09:25.60\00:09:27.00
HE WANTED NO CONFINEMENT.
00:09:27.00\00:09:28.36
HE DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TELLING
HIM WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT
00:09:28.36\00:09:31.13
TO DO.
00:09:31.13\00:09:33.33
AND THAT ALSO IS TYPICAL
OF THOSE THAT ARE IN THE LOST
00:09:33.33\00:09:36.16
CONDITION.
00:09:36.16\00:09:37.56
THEY WILL NOT BE RESTRAINED.
00:09:37.56\00:09:38.56
THEY'RE WITHOUT
RESTRAINT, NO SELF-CONTROL.
00:09:38.56\00:09:42.23
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT THINGS YOU COULD TEACH
00:09:42.23\00:09:44.90
YOUR CHILDREN IS SELF-DENIAL AND
SELF-CONTROL, AND I WORRY ABOUT
00:09:44.90\00:09:49.23
THAT WITH OUR KIDS BECAUSE WE
ARE IN SUCH AN AFFLUENT AGE THAT
00:09:49.23\00:09:53.93
THERE'S SUCH A TEMPTATION TO
INDULGE THEM AND THERE'S SO MANY
00:09:53.93\00:09:58.40
CONVENIENCES THAT THE HARDSHIPS
THAT THE OLDER GENERATION GREW
00:09:58.40\00:10:01.73
UP WITH IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF
AND THEY DON'T LEARN SELF-DENIAL
00:10:01.73\00:10:08.26
AND SELF-CONTROL.
00:10:08.26\00:10:10.00
WE GOTTA BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT
LAVISHING EVERYTHING ON OUR
00:10:10.00\00:10:12.86
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
SO WE DESTROY THEM.
00:10:12.86\00:10:16.26
WE'VE GOTTA LEARN
TO CONTROL OURSELVES.
00:10:16.26\00:10:19.90
IT ALSO SAYS HE
WAS EXCEEDING FIERCE.
00:10:19.90\00:10:23.20
THIS MAN NOT ONLY BROKE THE
CHAINS, HE WAS ALWAYS RAGING
00:10:23.20\00:10:27.10
AND ANGRY.
00:10:27.10\00:10:29.13
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY WE'RE
LIVING IN THE AGE OF RAGE.
00:10:29.13\00:10:31.16
WE'VE GOT THIS
PROBLEM NOW, ROAD RAGE.
00:10:31.16\00:10:33.13
YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL
ABOUT WHO YOU HONK YOUR HORN AT.
00:10:33.13\00:10:35.16
THEY MIGHT GET
OUT AND SHOOT YOU.
00:10:35.16\00:10:38.00
AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
IS ACTUALLY PRINTING FLYERS,
00:10:38.00\00:10:41.70
THERE'S SO MUCH
TRAFFIC IN THE CITIES NOW.
00:10:41.70\00:10:44.03
DO THEY HAVE TRAFFIC
REPORTS HERE IN CHATTANOOGA?
00:10:44.03\00:10:49.20
TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO KEEP
CALM WHEN THEY'RE DRIVING 'CAUSE
00:10:49.20\00:10:52.66
SOMEONE MIGHT LOSE
THEIR TEMPER, RAM YOUR CAR.
00:10:52.66\00:10:58.16
PEOPLE LOSE THEIR TEMPER.
00:10:58.16\00:10:59.03
AND BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU
LOSE YOUR TEMPER, YOU KNOW WHO
00:10:59.03\00:11:01.10
FINDS IT?
00:11:01.10\00:11:02.90
THE DEVIL.
00:11:02.90\00:11:03.66
YOU ARE, WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR
TEMPER, AT LEAST MOMENTARILY
00:11:03.66\00:11:05.93
DEMON-POSSESSED BECAUSE YOU'RE
DOING THINGS THAT YOU KNOW
00:11:05.93\00:11:09.96
ARE NOT RIGHT.
00:11:09.96\00:11:11.06
WHO WAS IT, WILL ROGERS HAD
SAID "IF YOU'RE GONNA FLY OFF
00:11:11.06\00:11:16.26
THE HANDLE, BE
PREPARED FOR A ROUGH LANDING."
00:11:16.26\00:11:20.33
IT'S ALSO ANGER IS A
VERY COSTLY COMMODITY.
00:11:20.33\00:11:25.43
YOU REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT
MIKE TYSON, THAT WORLD CHAMPION
00:11:25.43\00:11:29.13
BOXER LOST HIS TEMPER
DURING A BOXING MATCH.
00:11:29.13\00:11:31.90
HE WASN'T CONTENT JUST TO PUNCH
EVANDER HOLYFIELD, HE NEEDED TO
00:11:31.90\00:11:34.56
BITE OFF HIS EAR.
00:11:34.56\00:11:36.40
AND BECAUSE HE LOST HIS TEMPER
LIKE THAT, HE LOST HIS LICENSE
00:11:36.40\00:11:38.46
AND HE LOST HIS TEMPER A
FEW TIMES AND LAST I HEARD,
00:11:38.46\00:11:40.76
HE HAD EARNED OVER $300
MILLION BUT HE WAS BANKRUPT.
00:11:40.76\00:11:45.76
ANGER'S VERY EXPENSIVE,
AND IT'S COST KINGDOMS.
00:11:45.76\00:11:49.56
IT'S COST MARRIAGES.
00:11:49.56\00:11:50.53
THIS MAN WAS ALWAYS
RAGING EXCEEDING FIERCE, ANGRY.
00:11:50.53\00:11:56.66
JESUS--I'M TELLING YOU ALL
THESE THINGS BECAUSE THIS MAN,
00:11:56.66\00:11:59.73
HE PROBABLY ENCOMPASSES
SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY HERE
00:11:59.73\00:12:02.40
CAN RELATE TO.
00:12:02.40\00:12:05.20
NEITHER COULD ANY MAN TAME HIM.
00:12:05.20\00:12:09.10
WILD.
00:12:09.10\00:12:11.23
AND SOMETIMES WE THINK WE CAN
PLAY WITH SIN AND WE DON'T KNOW
00:12:11.23\00:12:14.20
OUR OWN HEARTS.
00:12:14.20\00:12:15.80
THE HUMAN HEART IS
DESPERATELY WICKED.
00:12:15.80\00:12:18.93
WHO CAN TAME IT?
00:12:18.93\00:12:20.20
SAMSON THOUGHT THAT HE COULD TOY
WITH DELILAH AND HE FOUND OUT
00:12:20.20\00:12:25.36
HE COULDN'T.
00:12:25.36\00:12:26.50
IT COST HIM HIS EYES
AND ULTIMATELY HIS LIFE.
00:12:26.50\00:12:29.23
SOME OF YOU, EVEN THOUGH
YOU'RE HERE ON THE EAST COAST,
00:12:29.23\00:12:31.40
YOU HEARD IN LAS VEGAS ABOUT
SIEGFRIED AND ROY, THIS VERY
00:12:31.40\00:12:35.86
FAMOUS TIGER ACT AND THEY
WORKED WITH THESE WILD TIGERS
00:12:35.86\00:12:38.96
FOR YEARS.
00:12:38.96\00:12:39.76
AND ROY HORN WAS
THE ONE WHO TRAINED HIM.
00:12:39.76\00:12:43.43
HE SLEPT WITH HIM
AND HE ATE WITH HIM.
00:12:43.43\00:12:45.10
HE SWAM WITH HIM.
00:12:45.10\00:12:46.20
AND HE SAID,
"THEY'RE MY FAMILY."
00:12:46.20\00:12:49.00
AND ONE NIGHT, ONE OF THE
TIGERS FORGOT ABOUT THAT FAMILY
00:12:49.00\00:12:52.86
RELATIONSHIP AND HE STARTED
ACTING LIKE A TIGER AGAIN.
00:12:52.86\00:12:55.36
HE DRAGGED HIM BY THE NECK,
SHOOK HIM LIKE A RAG DOLL, TOOK
00:12:55.36\00:12:58.36
HIM OFF STAGE AND HE HAS NEVER
YET RECOVERED AND VERY LIKELY IS
00:12:58.36\00:13:02.33
NEVER GOING TO
RETURN TO HIS SHOW AGAIN.
00:13:02.33\00:13:06.66
OUR HEARTS ARE
DESPERATELY WICKED.
00:13:06.66\00:13:08.76
IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN PLAY
WITH SIN AND YOU'RE IN CONTROL.
00:13:08.76\00:13:12.23
"I CAN QUIT ANYTIME I
WANT," FAMOUS LAST WORDS.
00:13:12.23\00:13:16.20
YOU BETTER FLEE TO
THE LORD THE WAY YOU ARE.
00:13:16.20\00:13:19.10
AND YOU KNOW THAT'S
PROBABLY A GOOD POINT FOR ME TO
00:13:19.10\00:13:21.73
MENTION THIS.
00:13:21.73\00:13:23.73
THIS MAN CAME TO
JESUS JUST AS HE WAS.
00:13:23.73\00:13:29.43
YOU KNOW, I WATCH OUT FOR PEOPLE
OUT THERE THAT SAY THAT THEY'VE
00:13:29.43\00:13:33.83
GOT A DEMON-POSSESSION MINISTRY,
A DELIVERANCE MINISTRY.
00:13:33.83\00:13:37.63
I'M VERY SUSPICIOUS OF PEOPLE
THAT HAND OUT BUSINESS CARDS
00:13:37.63\00:13:40.10
THAT SAY, "DEMONS ARE US.
00:13:40.10\00:13:41.23
WE CAST OUT DEVILS" AND THINGS
LIKE THAT BECAUSE I DON'T SEE
00:13:41.23\00:13:44.43
ANY OF THE APOSTLES
IN THE BIBLE DOING THAT.
00:13:44.43\00:13:46.80
AND WE DO BELIEVE, I BELIEVE
THAT YOU CAN PRAY FOR PEOPLE
00:13:46.80\00:13:50.93
WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH
DEMON-POSSESSION AND THEY CAN
00:13:50.93\00:13:53.00
HAVE VICTORY AND DELIVERANCE.
00:13:53.00\00:13:54.76
WE'VE DONE IT AT MEETINGS.
00:13:54.76\00:13:55.93
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE TOTALLY
DEMON-POSSESSED, LIBERATED.
00:13:55.93\00:13:59.43
WE WERE AT THIS MEETING IN
AFRICA WHERE PEOPLE WERE JUST
00:13:59.43\00:14:02.13
SHRIEKING AND THEY HAD TO BE
CARRIED AND SIX OR SEVEN PASTORS
00:14:02.13\00:14:05.23
COULDN'T HOLD THIS ONE WOMAN
DOWN AND THEY PRAYED FOR HER,
00:14:05.23\00:14:07.43
AND HER MIND WAS RETURNED.
00:14:07.43\00:14:09.70
I MEAN I'VE SEEN IT,
BUT DON'T GO LOOKING FOR IT.
00:14:09.70\00:14:12.56
SOME PEOPLE ARE SO PREOCCUPIED
WITH THE DEVIL AND WHAT
00:14:12.56\00:14:14.36
THE DEVIL IS DOING.
00:14:14.36\00:14:15.33
THEY'RE MORE PREOCCUPIED
WITH THE DEVIL THAN THE LORD.
00:14:15.33\00:14:17.70
WHEN IT HAPPENS,
YOU DEAL WITH IT.
00:14:17.70\00:14:19.93
YOU DON'T GO LOOKING FOR IT.
00:14:19.93\00:14:22.13
BUT I'VE RUN INTO PEOPLE WHO ARE
DEMON-POSSESSED AND I'VE PRAYED
00:14:22.13\00:14:24.30
AND COUNSELED WITH THEM.
00:14:24.30\00:14:25.33
AND I REMEMBER ONE LADY IN
PARTICULAR THAT I KNOW SHE HAD
00:14:25.33\00:14:29.90
SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND SHE SAID,
"I HEARD ALL THESE VOICES IN
00:14:29.90\00:14:33.26
MY HEAD."
00:14:33.26\00:14:36.13
AND I'M SURE THAT SOME PEOPLE
OUT THERE ARE GONNA SAY, "OH,
00:14:36.13\00:14:38.53
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A
CHEMICAL IMBALANCE AND THERE WAS
00:14:38.53\00:14:40.36
A MEDICAL CONDITION."
00:14:40.36\00:14:41.56
BUT I'M OLD FASHIONED ENOUGH TO
BELIEVE THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE
00:14:41.56\00:14:43.46
WHO ARE JUST PLAIN
OLD DEMON-POSSESSED.
00:14:43.46\00:14:47.26
AND THIS MAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE
WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE TO BE
00:14:47.26\00:14:49.90
POSSESSED WITH A
LEGION OF DEMONS?
00:14:49.90\00:14:51.66
IN THE TIME OF CHRIST,
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN 6,000 ROMAN
00:14:51.66\00:14:54.46
SOLDIERS, 6,000 DEVILS.
00:14:54.46\00:14:59.56
AND I THINK WHEN JESUS CAME
ASHORE IN HIS BOAT, WHATEVER WAS
00:14:59.56\00:15:03.10
LEFT OF THAT MAN INSIDE,
HE HEARD THESE DEMONS SAYING,
00:15:03.10\00:15:07.26
"OH, THAT'S JESUS."
00:15:07.26\00:15:08.10
DID THEY KNOW WHO HE WAS?
00:15:08.10\00:15:09.46
EVERYWHERE JESUS
WENT, THE DEMONS SAID,
00:15:09.46\00:15:13.10
"WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE."
00:15:13.10\00:15:15.20
AND I THINK WHATEVER WAS LEFT OF
THAT MAN, THAT LITTLE FLICKER,
00:15:15.20\00:15:19.10
THAT SPARK OF INTELLIGENCE
AND WILL THAT WAS STILL LEFT,
00:15:19.10\00:15:22.26
HE THOUGHT "THIS
IS MY LAST CHANCE."
00:15:22.26\00:15:24.90
AND HE WENT RUNNING TO JESUS
AND HE THREW HIMSELF DOWN AT
00:15:24.90\00:15:27.80
JESUS' FEET, BUT WHEN HE OPENED
HIS MOUTH TO SAY, "LORD, SAVE
00:15:27.80\00:15:30.60
ME" THE DEVILS TALKED
WHICH IS OFTEN THE CASE.
00:15:30.60\00:15:33.86
BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: HE
CAME TO JESUS THE WAY HE WAS.
00:15:33.86\00:15:42.20
THAT MAN WAS AS FAR FROM
CHRIST AS ANYONE COULD BE.
00:15:42.20\00:15:45.36
AND THE DEVILS SAID--YOU
KNOW THE STORY, THEY SAID,
00:15:45.36\00:15:47.56
"DON'T CAST US INTO THE
NOTHINGNESS, CAST US INTO
00:15:47.56\00:15:49.50
THOSE PIGS UP THERE."
00:15:49.50\00:15:52.00
AND JESUS SAID, "GO."
00:15:52.00\00:15:54.10
HE HAD A PLAN.
00:15:54.10\00:15:55.73
AND I KNOW THAT BOTHERS SOME
OF YOU THAT JESUS WAS CONNECTED
00:15:55.73\00:15:58.33
WITH ANOTHER ANIMAL DYING, AND
YOU KNOW, THE ONLY OTHER THING
00:15:58.33\00:16:02.83
THAT DIED BECAUSE OF THE
WORD OF CHRIST LIKE THAT WAS
00:16:02.83\00:16:04.90
A FIG TREE.
00:16:04.90\00:16:06.53
AND WHEN HE SAID GO, THIS AT
LEAST 2,000 DEVILS 'CAUSE THERE
00:16:06.53\00:16:11.00
WERE 2,000 PIGS,
WENT OUT OF THE MAN.
00:16:11.00\00:16:13.90
ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS HERD
OF SWINE THAT WERE WALLOWING IN
00:16:13.90\00:16:16.90
THE MEADOW MUCK UP ON THIS STEEP
HILLSIDE, THEY SUDDENLY WENT
00:16:16.90\00:16:20.90
BERSERK AND THEY BEGAN TO SQUEAL
AND OINK AND TO STAMPEDE TOWARDS
00:16:20.90\00:16:25.43
THE PRECIPICE AND THEN THERE WAS
THIS AVALANCHE OF PORK THAT WENT
00:16:25.43\00:16:28.86
OFF THE EDGE, BOUNCING OFF
THE ROCKS AND TUMBLING INTO THE
00:16:28.86\00:16:32.26
WATER BELOW AND THEY DROWNED.
00:16:32.26\00:16:34.26
AND THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK CARE OF
THE PIGS--SHEPHERDS TAKE CARE OF
00:16:34.26\00:16:38.16
SHEEP, PIGGERDS TAKE
CARE OF PIGS, IS THAT RIGHT?
00:16:38.16\00:16:42.10
THEY RAN AND
THEY TOLD THE VILLAGE.
00:16:42.10\00:16:45.60
AND THE BIBLE SAYS PRETTY
SOON THE WHOLE VILLAGE CAME OUT,
00:16:45.60\00:16:47.83
EVERYBODY FROM THE REGIONS OF
DECAPOLIS CAME OUT AND THEY SAW
00:16:47.83\00:16:51.30
THIS MAN THAT HAD BEEN
TORMENTING THEM FOR SO LONG
00:16:51.30\00:16:53.23
SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS,
CLOTHED AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND.
00:16:53.23\00:16:59.70
FIRST OF ALL, FRIENDS, YOU ARE
NEVER IN YOUR RIGHT MIND UNTIL
00:16:59.70\00:17:02.03
YOU'RE AT THE FEET OF JESUS.
00:17:02.03\00:17:04.43
SECONDLY, YOU'RE NOT IN YOUR
RIGHT MIND IF YOU RUN AROUND
00:17:04.43\00:17:06.56
WITHOUT YOUR CLOTHES ON.
00:17:06.56\00:17:08.60
THERE IS A CONNECTION.
00:17:08.60\00:17:10.63
I APPRECIATE WHEN JOE CREWS
SAID, "DON'T MISS THE CONNECTION
00:17:10.63\00:17:12.76
OF BEING IN YOUR RIGHT
MIND AND BEING CLOTHED."
00:17:12.76\00:17:18.06
NOW, I HAVE TO ASK THIS
QUESTION, WHERE'D HE GET
00:17:18.06\00:17:20.16
HIS CLOTHES?
00:17:20.16\00:17:22.66
THE DISCIPLES I DON'T THINK WERE
STANDING THERE WATCHING THIS.
00:17:22.66\00:17:25.53
I THINK WHEN JESUS TOLD
THE DEVILS TO GO FOR ONE THING,
00:17:25.53\00:17:28.40
I THINK HIS CHAINS FELL OFF THE
SAME WAY THE CHAINS FELL OFF OF
00:17:28.40\00:17:33.10
PETER THERE WHEN THE ANGEL CAME,
THE SAME WAY THE SHACKLES FELL
00:17:33.10\00:17:37.40
OFF FOR PAUL
AND SILAS IN PRISON.
00:17:37.40\00:17:42.10
AND THEN I THINK JESUS TOOK
HIM DOWN TO THE WATER AND WASHED
00:17:42.10\00:17:44.73
HIM, BAPTIZED HIM.
00:17:44.73\00:17:48.03
AND THEN I THINK CHRIST TOOK
OFF HIS ROBE AND COVERED HIS
00:17:48.03\00:17:50.86
NAKEDNESS.
00:17:50.86\00:17:52.66
I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT EXAMPLES OF
00:17:52.66\00:17:55.86
SALVATION IN THE BIBLE.
00:17:55.86\00:17:58.30
AND THEN HE SAT AT JESUS' FEET
LIKE MARY AND HEARD HIS WORD.
00:17:58.30\00:18:01.80
AND JESUS SAID, "NOW LET ME
TELL YA HOW YOU GOT INTO TROUBLE
00:18:01.80\00:18:03.56
AND THIS IS HOW YOU
CAN STAY OUT OF TROUBLE."
00:18:03.56\00:18:05.96
AND THE MAN WAS SO
THRILLED FOR THIS NEW LIFE.
00:18:05.96\00:18:11.16
WELL, PRETTY SOON THE
VILLAGERS CAME AND THEY WERE SO
00:18:11.16\00:18:16.73
FRIGHTENED.
00:18:16.73\00:18:17.83
IS EVERYONE IN THE STORY AFRAID?
00:18:17.83\00:18:20.50
DISCIPLES ARE
AFRAID OF THE STORM.
00:18:20.50\00:18:22.26
THEY'RE AFRAID OF THE CALM.
00:18:22.26\00:18:23.33
THEY'RE AFRAID OF THE DEMON
AND NOW THE VILLAGERS ARE AFRAID
00:18:23.33\00:18:25.26
OF JESUS.
00:18:25.26\00:18:29.23
AND THEY SAID, "LORD,
WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE?"
00:18:29.23\00:18:33.10
YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD THINK THAT
HERE THEY WOULD PRAISE THE LORD
00:18:33.10\00:18:34.96
AND HAVE A PARADE IN HIS
HONOR FOR DELIVERING THEM FROM
00:18:34.96\00:18:37.86
THIS MENACE.
00:18:37.86\00:18:39.63
BUT INSTEAD, YOU KNOW, THEY
THOUGHT, "WELL, WE JUST LOST,
00:18:39.63\00:18:41.60
YOU KNOW, 2,000
PIGS, THAT'S EXPENSIVE.
00:18:41.60\00:18:43.80
THAT'S BAD ON THE ECONOMY.
00:18:43.80\00:18:44.76
CAN YOU LEAVE?"
00:18:44.76\00:18:46.33
MORE CONCERNED WITH
THEIR PIGS THAN THEIR PEOPLE.
00:18:46.33\00:18:51.53
AND YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS DID?
00:18:51.53\00:18:52.46
HE GOT IN THE BOAT AND LEFT.
00:18:52.46\00:18:53.96
THAT MAKES ME
SHUDDER TO THINK ABOUT IT.
00:18:53.96\00:18:55.60
BE CAREFUL ABOUT ASKING
JESUS TO LEAVE YOU ALONE.
00:18:55.60\00:18:57.96
HE LOVES YOU DESPERATELY,
BUT HE WILL NOT FORCE HIS WAY
00:18:57.96\00:19:00.63
INTO YOUR HEART.
00:19:00.63\00:19:01.93
HE STANDS AND HE KNOCKS.
00:19:01.93\00:19:03.86
HE HAS MANNERS AND BY THE WAY,
YOUR HEART IS NEVER A VACUUM,
00:19:03.86\00:19:08.96
YOUR HEART IS EITHER
FULL OF THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
00:19:08.96\00:19:10.83
OR THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS.
00:19:10.83\00:19:13.66
IT'S LIKE A BOTTLE, YOU POUR
WATER IN TO GET THE AIR OUT.
00:19:13.66\00:19:17.90
JESUS IS CALLED THE PRINCE
OF THE POWER OF THE AIR AND IF
00:19:17.90\00:19:20.70
WE WANT TO GET THE DEVIL
OUT, WE NEED TO INVITE JESUS IN.
00:19:20.70\00:19:24.60
NOW THE MAN OUT OF
WHOM THE DEMONS WERE CAST.
00:19:24.60\00:19:27.73
HE SAID, "OH
LORD, DON'T LEAVE ME.
00:19:27.73\00:19:29.73
LET ME GO WITH YOU.
00:19:29.73\00:19:30.73
I WANT TO JUST SAIL AROUND
WITH YOU AND THE APOSTLES."
00:19:30.73\00:19:33.76
AND YOU KNOW
WHAT JESUS TOLD HIM?
00:19:33.76\00:19:35.66
"I DIDN'T SAVE YOU
TO SIT IN THE BOAT."
00:19:35.66\00:19:38.66
WE'VE GOT TOO MANY PEOPLE IN OUR
CHURCH JUST ROCKIN' IN THE BOAT
00:19:38.66\00:19:40.93
WITH JESUS.
00:19:40.93\00:19:42.60
HE SAID, "I SAVED
YOU SO THAT YOU CAN GO.
00:19:42.60\00:19:46.00
GO BACK TO YOUR FAMILY.
00:19:46.00\00:19:47.33
GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND YOU TELL
THEM WHAT GREAT THINGS THE LORD
00:19:47.33\00:19:50.50
HAS DONE FOR YOU."
00:19:50.50\00:19:52.26
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, THIS IS ONE
OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORIES IN
00:19:52.26\00:19:54.76
THE BIBLE BECAUSE IT'S THE STORY
OF SALVATION, IT TELLS US ABOUT
00:19:54.76\00:19:58.56
GOD'S PLAN FOR US, JESUS,
AND THE DEVIL'S PLAN FOR YOU,
00:19:58.56\00:20:02.53
THAT DEMONIAC.
00:20:02.53\00:20:04.20
AND THEN IT REASSURES US THAT IT
DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAR AWAY YOU
00:20:04.20\00:20:09.23
MIGHT BE FROM GOD, YOU'RE NOT
SO FAR THAT GOD CAN'T REACH YOU.
00:20:09.23\00:20:13.96
CAN YOU IMAGINE IN YOUR MIND
A SITUATION OF SOMEONE WHO WOULD
00:20:13.96\00:20:18.06
BE MORE HOPELESS?
00:20:18.06\00:20:19.83
ONE MORE TIME,
FRIENDS, STAY WITH ME.
00:20:19.83\00:20:23.26
LIVING IN A CEMETERY SURROUNDED
WITH PIGS, COVERED WITH
00:20:23.26\00:20:28.90
SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS, CHAINS,
NAKED, UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN
00:20:28.90\00:20:39.53
BUT HE CAME TO
JESUS THE WAY HE WAS.
00:20:39.53\00:20:43.03
IF THEY HAD AN ELECTION THERE IN
GADARA, DECAPOLIS AND SAID, WHO
00:20:43.03\00:20:48.46
DO WE THINK IS THE MOST UNLIKELY
PERSON TO EVER BE A FOLLOWER
00:20:48.46\00:20:53.83
OF CHRIST?
00:20:53.83\00:20:54.90
THAT MAN WOULD HAVE WON
THE ELECTION EVERY TIME AND
00:20:54.90\00:20:58.03
THAT'S THE ONLY MAN THAT JESUS
SAVED ON THIS MISSIONARY TRIP.
00:20:58.03\00:21:02.13
HE LEFT.
00:21:02.13\00:21:03.20
HE CAME ACROSS THE OCEAN.
00:21:03.20\00:21:04.66
HE SAVED THAT ONE
MAN AND THEN HE LEFT.
00:21:04.66\00:21:07.43
THERE'S A PHRASE HERE
I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU.
00:21:07.43\00:21:12.10
"JESUS CROSSED THE ANGRY
WAVES TO MAKE A MADMAN WHOLE.
00:21:12.10\00:21:16.30
HE WHO STILLED THE STORMY
SEA CAN CALM A RAGING SOUL."
00:21:16.30\00:21:22.53
HE CALMED THE SEA AND
THEN HE CALMED THE RAGING SOUL.
00:21:22.53\00:21:26.86
FRIENDS, YOU CAN'T SAY,
"OH, THE LORD CAN'T REACH ME."
00:21:26.86\00:21:28.90
IF HE CAN REACH THAT MAN,
HE CAN REACH ANYBODY HERE.
00:21:28.90\00:21:31.60
AMEN?
00:21:31.60\00:21:32.50
SOME OF YOU THINK YOUR LOVED
ONES AND YOUR FRIENDS HAVE GONE
00:21:32.50\00:21:34.26
TOO FAR.
00:21:34.26\00:21:35.76
HAVE THEY GONE THAT FAR?
00:21:35.76\00:21:37.73
IF THE LORD CAN REACH
THIS MAN, HE CAN REACH THEM.
00:21:37.73\00:21:41.10
I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO BE
PRAYING IN YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW.
00:21:41.10\00:21:43.80
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME
TO JESUS JUST LIKE YOU ARE?
00:21:43.80\00:21:46.90
MAYBE SOME OF YOU, IN YOUR
PRAYERS, WOULD LIKE TO BRING
00:21:46.90\00:21:48.93
A LOVED ONE WHO YOU
THINK HAS WANDERED SO FAR AWAY.
00:21:48.93\00:21:53.13
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW BECAUSE
OF WHAT JESUS DID, HE CAN REACH
00:21:53.13\00:21:55.70
THEM.
00:21:55.70\00:21:56.73
THE CONDITION OF THAT
MAN IS THE LOST CONDITION.
00:21:56.73\00:22:01.66
JESUS TOOK THAT
CONDITION FOR EACH ONE OF US.
00:22:01.66\00:22:05.16
WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS,
HE BECAME THAT MAN THAT WAS
00:22:05.16\00:22:09.40
SO HOPELESS AND
POSSESSED AND SEPARATED.
00:22:09.40\00:22:13.20
HE BECAME SIN.
00:22:13.20\00:22:14.86
THAT MAN WHO WAS ASSAILED
BY DEMONS, WHAT DO YOU THINK
00:22:14.86\00:22:17.63
THE DEVILS WERE DOING
AROUND THE CROSS THAT DAY?
00:22:17.63\00:22:20.30
THEY WERE TRYING TO EXTRACT
EVERY OUNCE OF SUFFERING FROM
00:22:20.30\00:22:22.96
JESUS.
00:22:22.96\00:22:24.50
THIS IS THE STORY OF SALVATION.
00:22:24.50\00:22:26.66
JESUS COULD COME TO THAT
MAN, HE COULD SAY, "I'M TELLING
00:22:26.66\00:22:28.53
THE DEMONS TO SET YOU FREE.
00:22:28.53\00:22:30.03
YOU DON'T DESERVE IT, BUT
I'M GONNA TAKE YOUR CONDITION."
00:22:30.03\00:22:33.56
AND WHAT HE SAID TO HIM, HE'S
SAYING TO YOU, HE'S SAYING TO
00:22:33.56\00:22:37.83
EACH ONE OF YOU.
00:22:37.83\00:22:39.60
AND HE SET HIM FREE AND
THEN HE GAVE HIM A WORK TO DO.
00:22:39.60\00:22:45.13
THE LORD WANTS TO DO
THAT FOR EACH ONE OF US.
00:22:45.13\00:22:48.06
WE NEED TO BE WILLING TO COME
JUST LIKE WE ARE AND ASK GOD TO
00:22:48.06\00:22:52.56
BREAK OUR CHAINS, TO COVER US
WITH HIS ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:22:52.56\00:22:59.06
TO WASH OUR WOUNDS AND TO
DELIVER US FROM OUR DEVILS.
00:22:59.06\00:23:05.23
WHAT HE DID FOR THAT MAN,
THAT MAN WAS SO FAR FROM GOD,
00:23:05.23\00:23:09.00
BUT JESUS CROSSED
THE SEA TO REACH HIM.
00:23:09.00\00:23:11.00
WHAT HE DID FOR THAT
MAN, HE'LL DO FOR YOU.
00:23:11.00\00:23:13.06
SOMEONE WROTE IN A NOTE
THEY SAID, "WHERE DOES IT SAY IN
00:23:13.06\00:23:15.53
THE BIBLE THAT JESUS
WOULD HAVE DIED JUST FOR ME?"
00:23:15.53\00:23:17.93
THIS STORY, HE CROSSED THE OCEAN
AND JUST SAVED THAT ONE MAN
00:23:17.93\00:23:22.70
AND THEN HE LEFT.
00:23:22.70\00:23:24.50
HE WOULD HAVE CROSSED
THE COSMOS JUST TO SAVE YOU.
00:23:24.50\00:23:27.36
HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH.
00:23:27.36\00:23:28.36
WILL YOU TELL HIM NO?
00:23:28.36\00:23:30.70
WILL YOU TELL HIM WAIT?
00:23:30.70\00:23:34.23
WHAT WILL YOU TELL HIM NOW?
00:23:34.23\00:23:36.73
I'D LIKE TO ASK THOSE WHO ARE
HERE AND THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING
00:23:36.73\00:23:38.76
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRAY WITH
ME NOW AND SAY, "LORD, I WANT TO
00:23:38.76\00:23:42.10
COME TO JESUS JUST THE WAY I AM,
AND I'M GONNA ALLOW HIM TO BREAK
00:23:42.10\00:23:45.76
MY CHAINS AND SET ME FREE."
00:23:45.76\00:23:47.90
FOR THOSE HERE, STAND ON
YOUR FEET IF THAT'S YOUR PRAYER.
00:23:47.90\00:23:51.06
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING, IF
YOU'RE ABLE TO KNEEL BY YOUR TV
00:23:51.06\00:23:54.96
OR TO STAND, WHATEVER THE
SITUATION ALLOWS, I'D LIKE TO
00:23:54.96\00:23:58.93
HAVE YOU GESTURE COMING TO GOD
AND WE WANT TO END THIS MEETING
00:23:58.93\00:24:02.50
BY SURRENDERING OUR
HEARTS TO THE LORD, AMEN?
00:24:02.50\00:24:06.73
LOVING FATHER IN HEAVEN, OH, WE
PRAISE YOU FOR THE STORY IN YOUR
00:24:06.73\00:24:10.66
WORD OF HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES ONE
SINNER THAT NOBODY WOULD LOVE,
00:24:10.66\00:24:16.86
HOW HE CROSSED THE OCEAN
AND RISKED THE STORM AND DEATH
00:24:16.86\00:24:20.80
TO SAVE THAT ONE MAN.
00:24:20.80\00:24:23.93
AND THEN, LORD, YOU TRANSFORMED
HIM AND SO COMPLETELY FREED HIM
00:24:23.93\00:24:27.50
AND THEN GAVE HIM A WORK TO DO.
00:24:27.50\00:24:29.30
WE BELIEVE WHAT YOU DID
FOR HIM, YOU CAN DO FOR US.
00:24:29.30\00:24:33.40
YOU CAN SAVE EACH PERSON,
YOU CAN DO IT FOR OUR LOVED ONES
00:24:33.40\00:24:37.20
THAT MIGHT BE
LOST AND WANDERING.
00:24:37.20\00:24:39.23
HELP US TO NOT LOSE HOPE.
00:24:39.23\00:24:40.70
AND LORD, I PRAY THAT WE'LL
NEVER TELL JESUS NO BECAUSE HE
00:24:40.70\00:24:43.90
SUFFERED SO MUCH THAT WE COULD
BE FREE AND DELIVERED FROM OUR
00:24:43.90\00:24:46.93
DEVILS, TO BE SAVED FROM THAT
CEMETERY AND TO BE CLEANSED.
00:24:46.93\00:24:51.93
LORD, DO IT FOR US,
GIVE US THAT NEW LIFE.
00:24:51.93\00:24:54.53
WE ASK IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
