00:00:38.03\00:00:44.76
>>TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION IS A
LITTLE UNIQUE BECAUSE SOMETIMES
00:00:44.76\00:00:48.70
PEOPLE COME TO A PROPHECY
PROGRAM LIKE THIS AND THEY'RE
00:00:48.70\00:00:51.46
THINKING, 'YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT
TO KNOW WHEN IS THE END COMING?
00:00:51.46\00:00:55.86
HOW IS IT GOING TO UNFOLD?
00:00:55.86\00:00:57.53
WHAT DO THE PROPHECIES TEACH?
00:00:57.53\00:00:59.10
AND WHERE DO I RUN AND
HIDE SO THAT I CAN SURVIVE?'
00:00:59.10\00:01:03.26
BUT REALLY, AT THE CORE OF
ALL BIBLE PROPHECY IT'S TALKING
00:01:03.26\00:01:07.63
ABOUT A PERSON AND IT'S TALKING
ABOUT HOW YOU CAN BE SAVED
00:01:07.63\00:01:11.93
ETERNALLY, NOT JUST LIVE A
LITTLE LONGER IN THIS LIFE.
00:01:11.93\00:01:16.16
YOU KNOW, I WANT TO OPEN
TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:01:16.16\00:01:19.46
REVELATION CHAPTER 5, VERSE 6 -
IN THE VISION THERE THE APOSTLE
00:01:19.46\00:01:23.93
JOHN SAYS, 'I LOOKED, AND
BEHOLD, IN THE MIDST OF THE
00:01:23.93\00:01:27.16
THRONE AND OF THE FOUR LIVING
CREATURES, AND IN THE MIDST OF
00:01:27.16\00:01:31.40
THE ELDERS, STOOD A LAMB AS
THOUGH IT HAD BEEN SLAIN, HAVING
00:01:31.40\00:01:36.80
SEVEN HORNS AND SEVEN EYES,
WHICH ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF
00:01:36.80\00:01:40.66
GOD SENT OUT
INTO ALL THE EARTH."
00:01:40.66\00:01:44.30
HERE IN THIS VISION IT
TALKS ABOUT A THRONE WHERE YOU'D
00:01:44.30\00:01:48.03
EXPECT TO SEE A KING SEATED,
BUT IT'S GOT A SLAIN LAMB.
00:01:48.03\00:01:53.33
NOW, THIS IS REALLY AN
ELEMENTARY BIBLE SYMBOL.
00:01:53.33\00:01:56.40
ON THE THRONE THERE IS JESUS
- HE IS THE LAMB THAT TAKES AWAY
00:01:56.40\00:01:59.53
THE SIN OF THE WORLD AND IT'S
SLAIN - THIS IS A BLEEDING LAMB.
00:01:59.53\00:02:04.60
NOW, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
YOU, BUT BLOOD IS NOT, FOR ME,
00:02:04.60\00:02:07.86
A PLEASANT SUBJECT.
00:02:07.86\00:02:09.86
MY WIFE IS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST
AND SHE'S WORKED IN HOSPITALS
00:02:09.86\00:02:12.96
AND IT DOESN'T BOTHER HER, BUT
IT MAKES ME A LITTLE SQUEAMISH.
00:02:12.96\00:02:17.80
AND I THINK THAT'S
A NATURAL REACTION.
00:02:17.80\00:02:19.43
EVEN CHILDREN, THE FIRST TIME
THEY START BLEEDING, THERE'S
00:02:19.43\00:02:24.56
SOMETIMES A LOOK OF
PANIC ON THEIR FACE LIKE,
00:02:24.56\00:02:27.03
'OH NO, I'M LEAKING! NOW WHAT?
00:02:27.03\00:02:28.70
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?'
AND IT JUST SEEMS SO UNNATURAL.
00:02:28.70\00:02:33.10
BUT, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TELLS
US THAT LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
00:02:33.10\00:02:37.73
THAT'S LEVITICUS 17, VERSE 11.
00:02:37.73\00:02:40.53
EVEN BACK THEN THEY RECOGNIZED
EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY IS BOTH
00:02:40.53\00:02:45.86
NOURISHED AND CLEANSED, IT
RECEIVES ITS OXYGEN AND THE BAD
00:02:45.86\00:02:51.20
GASSES ARE REMOVED THROUGH THE
CIRCULATION SYSTEM - BY BLOOD.
00:02:51.20\00:02:55.70
THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
00:02:55.70\00:02:57.83
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD
HAS MADE OF ONE BLOOD ALL PEOPLE
00:02:57.83\00:03:02.10
- MEANING WE'RE ALL RELATED.
00:03:02.10\00:03:03.30
AND EVEN DNA EXPERTS HAVE
TRACKED ALL PEOPLE ON THE PLANET
00:03:03.30\00:03:07.40
BACK TO COMMON ANCESTORS.
00:03:07.40\00:03:09.73
EVEN NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC AGREES WITH THAT.
00:03:09.73\00:03:11.93
NEWSWEEK HAD A MAGAZINE THAT
SAID THERE MUST HAVE BEEN AN EVE
00:03:11.93\00:03:15.06
BECAUSE ALL THE DNA
OF HUMANS IS COMMON.
00:03:15.06\00:03:19.10
AND IT'S ALSO TRUE
THAT EVERYBODY WHO IS GOING
00:03:19.10\00:03:22.23
TO BE IN THE KINGDOM
IS GOING TO BE THERE BY
00:03:22.23\00:03:23.86
VIRTUE OF THE BLOOD OF ONE MAN.
00:03:23.86\00:03:27.90
IT'S A BLOOD TRANSFUSION
OF THE LAMB OF GOD THAT SAVES
00:03:27.90\00:03:30.83
EVERYBODY.
00:03:30.83\00:03:32.86
YOU KNOW, DURING THE BUBONIC
PLAGUE, THEY DISCOVERED THAT -
00:03:32.86\00:03:38.10
WELL, THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT THEN,
BUT THEY DISCOVERED IT AFTERWARD
00:03:38.10\00:03:40.50
- THE ONLY CURE FOR THE BUBONIC
PLAGUE IS TO GET A TRANSFUSION
00:03:40.50\00:03:44.13
FROM SOMEBODY WHO WAS EXPOSED
BUT DEVELOPED A RESISTANCE.
00:03:44.13\00:03:49.26
AND, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, THE
ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COME INTO
00:03:49.26\00:03:51.83
THIS WORLD AND LIVED
A PERFECT LIFE IS JESUS.
00:03:51.83\00:03:55.90
AND THE ONLY CURE FOR THE
PROBLEM OF SIN IS A TRANSFUSION
00:03:55.90\00:03:58.20
OF HIS BLOOD.
00:03:58.20\00:04:00.66
NOW, AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
SUBJECT OF PROPHECY - BE HONEST
00:04:00.66\00:04:05.86
- WOULD SOME OF YOU LIKE TO KNOW
WHO IS THE BEAST AND WHAT IS THE
00:04:05.86\00:04:08.16
MARK OF THE BEAST AND 666
- WHAT DOES THAT ALL MEAN?
00:04:08.16\00:04:11.10
COME ON, WOULDN'T
YOU LIKE TO KNOW THAT?
00:04:11.10\00:04:13.83
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
BABYLON AND THE FALL OF BABYLON.
00:04:13.83\00:04:16.00
IF YOU READ IN
REVELATION CHAPTER 14 IT'S GOT
00:04:16.00\00:04:19.13
THREE ANGELS.
00:04:19.13\00:04:21.16
IT STARTS AT VERSE 6 AND IT
TALKS ABOUT THE BEAST AND IT
00:04:21.16\00:04:24.63
TALKS ABOUT THOSE WHO
WORSHIP THE BEAST AND IT TALKS
00:04:24.63\00:04:27.70
ABOUT BABYLON.
00:04:27.70\00:04:28.63
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT
SAYS JUST BEFORE THAT?
00:04:28.63\00:04:31.46
IT SAYS, 'I SAW AN ANGEL FLYING
IN THE MIDST OF HEAVEN HAVING
00:04:31.46\00:04:33.83
THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL TO PREACH
TO THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH.
00:04:33.83\00:04:37.93
YOU CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN THESE
APOCALYPTIC SYMBOLS OUTSIDE OF
00:04:37.93\00:04:43.76
THE CONTEXT OF THE
EVERLASTING GOSPEL.
00:04:43.76\00:04:47.60
IN OTHER WORDS, I CANNOT - AS
MUCH AS YOU MIGHT WANT ME TO -
00:04:47.60\00:04:52.26
SEPARATE THESE PROPHETIC
TEACHINGS FROM THE WAY THE BIBLE
00:04:52.26\00:04:56.93
WRAPS THEM AROUND JESUS.
00:04:56.93\00:04:59.66
ALL OF THESE TEACHINGS
ARE WRAPPED AROUND SOMETHING
00:04:59.66\00:05:02.93
CALLED REDEMPTION.
00:05:02.93\00:05:05.10
AND SO, IF I TELL YOU THE WHOLE
TRUTH ABOUT PROPHECY AND YOU
00:05:05.10\00:05:08.16
UNDERSTAND IT PERFECTLY, IF
YOU DON'T KNOW JESUS, WILL IT
00:05:08.16\00:05:11.30
DO YOU ANY GOOD?
00:05:11.30\00:05:13.43
NOT ACCORDING TO PROPHECY.
00:05:13.43\00:05:15.33
WELL, BACK TO THE
QUESTION/ANSWER FORMAT.
00:05:15.33\00:05:18.53
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I COVER ALL
MY POINTS - THIS IS AS MUCH FOR
00:05:18.53\00:05:21.06
MY BENEFIT AS YOURS.
00:05:21.06\00:05:22.66
QUESTION #1: DOES GOD REALLY
CARE ABOUT ME PERSONALLY? YES.
00:05:22.66\00:05:29.36
JEREMIAH 31, VERSE 3, HE
SAYS, "I'VE LOVED YOU WITH AN
00:05:29.36\00:05:32.60
EVERLASTING LOVE."
00:05:32.60\00:05:35.13
NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD ADMIT
THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU'VE
00:05:35.13\00:05:37.90
WONDERED IF GOD LOVES YOU?
00:05:37.90\00:05:40.26
DOES HE REALLY CARE?
00:05:40.26\00:05:43.00
HAVE YOUR CHILDREN EVER
WONDERED IF YOU LOVE THEM?
00:05:43.00\00:05:47.70
I'VE TOLD YOU THAT WE HAVE FIVE
CHILDREN - WE HAD SIX CHILDREN -
00:05:47.70\00:05:53.06
AND OUR OLDEST SON,
MICAH, WHEN HE WAS BORN -
00:05:53.06\00:05:56.96
BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY.
00:05:56.96\00:05:58.86
BIG BLUE EYES, CURLY BLOND
HAIR, AND JUST WAS A DELIGHTFUL
00:05:58.86\00:06:03.30
LITTLE BOY.
00:06:03.30\00:06:05.03
WHEN HE WAS ABOUT 19 MONTHS
OLD HE WAS VERY LETHARGIC IN HIS
00:06:05.03\00:06:08.36
CRIB AND WE GOT WORRIED - TOOK
HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM OF THE
00:06:08.36\00:06:12.20
LOCAL HOSPITAL AND AFTER A BRIEF
EXAMINATION THE DOCTOR SAID HE
00:06:12.20\00:06:18.03
MAY HAVE SPINAL MENINGITIS BUT
THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE IS TO DO
00:06:18.03\00:06:23.20
A TEST - A SPINAL TAP.
00:06:23.20\00:06:25.93
AND THEY DO THIS
WHILE YOU'RE AWAKE.
00:06:25.93\00:06:28.33
AND THEY TAKE A LONG NEEDLE -
THEY HAVE TO INSERT IT BETWEEN
00:06:28.33\00:06:31.96
THE VERTEBRAE IN THE
SPINE, EXTRACT SPINAL FLUID
00:06:31.96\00:06:35.23
AND TEST IT.
00:06:35.23\00:06:36.90
WELL, OUR LITTLE BOY - HE'S JUST
WALKING AROUND A LITTLE BIT AND
00:06:36.90\00:06:39.66
HE SAYS 'MOMMY' AND 'DADDY'
AND 'BANANA' AND DOESN'T REALLY
00:06:39.66\00:06:43.90
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON
BUT HE JUST KNOWS HE DOESN'T
00:06:43.90\00:06:45.83
FEEL GOOD.
00:06:45.83\00:06:47.43
AND SO THEY TAKE HIM IN THE ROOM
- MOM EXCUSED HERSELF, SHE SAID,
00:06:47.43\00:06:50.66
'I CAN'T WATCH THIS.'
AND SO I STAYED IN THERE WITH
00:06:50.66\00:06:53.73
HIM AS THE DOCTORS AND NURSES
HELD HIM, AND THE DOCTOR WAS AN
00:06:53.73\00:06:59.00
INTERN AND HE HAD
NOT DONE THIS VERY OFTEN.
00:06:59.00\00:07:03.50
AND IT ABSOLUTELY BROKE MY HEART
AS I HAD TO WATCH HIM TWO OR
00:07:03.50\00:07:06.80
THREE TIMES PUSH THE NEEDLE
INTO THE BACK TRYING TO FIND THE
00:07:06.80\00:07:09.50
RIGHT SPOT AND MICAH IS AWAKE
AND HE'S LOOKING AT ME AND HE'S
00:07:09.50\00:07:13.30
CRYING 'DADDY. DADDY. DADDY.'
AND HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY
00:07:13.30\00:07:17.23
WOULD I LET THEM DO THIS TO HIM?
00:07:17.23\00:07:21.53
AND DON'T YOU KNOW
THAT BROKE MY HEART?
00:07:21.53\00:07:22.93
HE THOUGHT, 'DAD
DOESN'T LOVE ME.'
00:07:22.93\00:07:25.26
OH, NOTHING COULD HAVE
BEEN FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
00:07:25.26\00:07:29.06
I WOULD HAVE TRADED
PLACES WITH HIM IN AN INSTANT.
00:07:29.06\00:07:32.40
IT TURNS OUT HE DID HAVE SPINAL
MENINGITIS AND HE RECOVERED
00:07:32.40\00:07:35.66
FROM THAT.
00:07:35.66\00:07:36.90
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT JUST BROKE MY
HEART TO THINK THAT THERE WAS A
00:07:36.90\00:07:41.23
TIME WHEN HE
WONDERED, 'DON'T YOU LOVE ME?
00:07:41.23\00:07:43.93
WHY ARE YOU
LETTING THEM HURT ME?'
00:07:43.93\00:07:46.56
IF YOU THINK YOUR CHILDREN
SHOULD TRUST THAT YOU LOVE THEM,
00:07:46.56\00:07:49.63
HOW MUCH MORE SHOULD YOU
TRUST THAT GOD LOVES YOU?
00:07:49.63\00:07:52.93
HE'S A MUCH BETTER PARENT
THAN I AM AND THAN YOU ARE.
00:07:52.93\00:07:55.80
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:07:55.80\00:07:57.26
HE LOVES YOU.
00:07:57.26\00:07:58.40
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
00:07:58.40\00:07:59.76
HOW HAS GOD
DEMONSTRATED HIS LOVE FOR US?
00:07:59.76\00:08:04.40
YOU KNOW THAT VERSE?
00:08:04.40\00:08:05.96
'FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT
HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
00:08:05.96\00:08:11.06
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN
HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
00:08:11.06\00:08:13.90
EVERLASTING LIFE.'
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS
00:08:13.90\00:08:17.03
VERSES IN THE WORLD.
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.26
IT'S A POWERFUL VERSE.
00:08:18.26\00:08:19.66
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE QUOTE
IT, IT SORT OF ENCAPSULATES THE
00:08:19.66\00:08:21.80
GREATNESS OF THE GOSPEL.
00:08:21.80\00:08:24.76
HE SO LOVED THE WORLD YES, BUT
HE SO LOVED YOU INDIVIDUALLY.
00:08:24.76\00:08:29.83
HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH, I VENTURE
TO SAY, THAT IF YOU WERE THE
00:08:29.83\00:08:32.80
ONLY HUMAN ON THE PLANET THAT
HAD SINNED, HE WOULD HAVE COME
00:08:32.80\00:08:35.90
DOWN AND GONE THROUGH
EVERYTHING THAT HE WENT THROUGH
00:08:35.90\00:08:38.60
JUST FOR YOU.
00:08:38.60\00:08:41.83
AND IF HE HAS ENOUGH POWER TO
SAVE THE WORLD FROM ITS SINS, DO
00:08:41.83\00:08:46.46
YOU THINK HE HAS
ENOUGH TO SAVE YOU?
00:08:46.46\00:08:49.33
HOW DO I RECEIVE HIM AND
PASS FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE?
00:08:49.33\00:08:54.43
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?
00:08:54.43\00:08:55.40
AGAIN, I WANT TO STOP AND I
WANT TO REMIND YOU WHY THIS IS
00:08:55.40\00:08:57.66
SO IMPORTANT.
00:08:57.66\00:08:59.43
DO YOU WANT TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING?
00:08:59.43\00:09:02.50
SPIRITUAL THINGS ARE
SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED.
00:09:02.50\00:09:06.20
IF YOU WERE GOD AND YOU'RE GOING
TO REVEAL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
00:09:06.20\00:09:08.80
FUTURE TO PEOPLE ON THE PLANET,
WOULD YOU REVEAL IT TO THE ONES
00:09:08.80\00:09:13.00
THAT ARE SURRENDERED TO YOU
OR THE ONES WHO ARE STILL IN
00:09:13.00\00:09:15.50
REBELLION.
00:09:15.50\00:09:18.60
WHAT I'M GIVING YOU TONIGHT IN
THIS PRESENTATION OF THE BASICS
00:09:18.60\00:09:22.23
OF THE GOSPEL, IS THE
KEY TO UNLOCK THE FUTURE.
00:09:22.23\00:09:25.93
BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO SURRENDER
TO THE LORD, YOU HEAR HIM
00:09:25.93\00:09:29.30
DIFFERENTLY.
00:09:29.30\00:09:30.93
EVEN JESUS, AFTER HE
WAS BAPTIZED - IT SAYS,
00:09:30.93\00:09:33.03
'THE HEAVENS WERE
OPENED AND HE HEARD A VOICE.'
00:09:33.03\00:09:37.03
WHEN ISAIAH SAW THE LORD
AND HE SURRENDERED TO THE LORD,
00:09:37.03\00:09:39.80
'HE HEARD THE VOICE OF
THE LORD SAYING' - YOU'LL HEAR
00:09:39.80\00:09:43.26
DIFFERENTLY - GOD
WILL SPEAK TO YOUR HEART
00:09:43.26\00:09:44.93
LIKE HE NEVER HAS BEFORE.
00:09:44.93\00:09:47.66
ALL OF A SUDDEN - THE FREQUENCY
- YOU EVER GO THROUGH THE RADIO
00:09:47.66\00:09:49.90
AND IT'S JUST STATIC - YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND - BUT IF YOU DIAL IT
00:09:49.90\00:09:51.96
IN RIGHT - OH,
IT GETS VERY CLEAR.
00:09:51.96\00:09:55.26
AND WHEN YOU SURRENDER YOUR
HEART TO GOD, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT
00:09:55.26\00:09:58.33
STARTS TO GET CLEAR.
00:09:58.33\00:09:59.36
AND EVEN WHEN YOU READ HIS WORD
IT SUDDENLY GETS TRANSLATED AND
00:09:59.36\00:10:04.06
IT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE.
00:10:04.06\00:10:06.16
SO HOW DO I RECEIVE HIM
AND PASS FROM DEATH TO LIFE?
00:10:06.16\00:10:09.83
WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
RECOGNIZE THAT YOU'RE A SINNER.
00:10:09.83\00:10:12.40
ALL HAVE SINNED.
00:10:12.40\00:10:14.73
EVERY PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN
BORN IS BORN WITH THIS SELFISH
00:10:14.73\00:10:17.63
NATURE AND WE'VE ALL SINNED.
00:10:17.63\00:10:20.80
AND YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
00:10:20.80\00:10:23.30
WE'RE ALL INFECTED WITH THIS
TERMINAL DISEASE CALLED SIN.
00:10:23.30\00:10:27.26
IT SAYS, "WE'VE ALL
TURNED EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY"
00:10:27.26\00:10:29.86
IN ISAIAH 53, VERSE 6.
00:10:29.86\00:10:32.20
SIN MAKES US SELFISH.
00:10:32.20\00:10:34.93
MOST PEOPLE MAKE THEIR DECISIONS
FROM DAY TO DAY BASED ON
00:10:34.93\00:10:38.10
'WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
00:10:38.10\00:10:40.00
WHAT WILL THIS MEAN TO ME?'
WE'RE NATURALLY VERY SELFISH -
00:10:40.00\00:10:42.70
IT'S A SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE WHEN
GOD GIVES US NEW HEARTS AND WE
00:10:42.70\00:10:46.13
START BEING MOTIVATED BY LOVE.
00:10:46.13\00:10:48.16
MANY OF US HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
THAT MEANS UNTIL THE SPIRIT OF
00:10:48.16\00:10:52.06
GOD COMES INTO YOUR LIFE.
00:10:52.06\00:10:54.50
IT'S VERY REAL, FRIENDS.
00:10:54.50\00:10:56.46
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
00:10:56.46\00:10:58.43
'WE'VE ALL TURNED
EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY.'
00:10:58.43\00:11:00.70
AND THE PENALTY
FOR SIN IS DEATH.
00:11:00.70\00:11:03.73
NOW, I KNOW THIS SOUNDS
PRETTY SERIOUS - AND IT IS.
00:11:03.73\00:11:09.00
WHY IS THAT?
00:11:09.00\00:11:10.20
IF GOD LOVES US THEN WHY
IS THE PENALTY FOR SIN DEATH?
00:11:10.20\00:11:13.40
YOU'RE LIVING ON AN ISLAND
IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC - BEAUTIFUL
00:11:13.40\00:11:15.73
ISLAND - YOU'RE VERY HAPPY.
00:11:15.73\00:11:17.03
IT'S A PARADISE.
00:11:17.03\00:11:19.56
AND YOU AND YOUR
SPOUSE HAVE TEN CHILDREN.
00:11:19.56\00:11:21.30
WE'RE STILL ASSUMING YOU
CAN BE HAPPY WITH TEN CHILDREN.
00:11:21.30\00:11:24.73
BUT THEN, ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN
BECOMES INFECTED - SMALL ISLAND
00:11:24.73\00:11:28.80
- WITH A DEADLY PAINFUL
DISEASE AND IT'S CONTAGIOUS.
00:11:28.80\00:11:34.13
NOW, YOU'VE GOT
TO MAKE A CHOICE.
00:11:34.13\00:11:36.16
YOU'VE GOT TO PUT THAT CHILD ON
A RAFT AND PUSH IT OUT TO SEA OR
00:11:36.16\00:11:41.00
LET IT STAY ON THE ISLAND AND
ALL OF THE CHILDREN WILL DIE.
00:11:41.00\00:11:44.16
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
00:11:44.16\00:11:47.16
THAT'S A TERRIBLE
DILEMMA TO BE FACED WITH.
00:11:47.16\00:11:50.06
BUT THIS IS SORT OF WHAT GOD'S
FACED WITH - WITH THIS PLANET
00:11:50.06\00:11:51.96
HAS A DISEASE.
00:11:51.96\00:11:53.56
AND GOD'S GOT OTHER ANGELS
AND CREATIONS OUT THERE IN THE
00:11:53.56\00:11:56.46
COSMOS, BUT WE'RE SORT
OF QUARANTINED RIGHT NOW
00:11:56.46\00:11:59.70
BECAUSE OF SIN.
00:11:59.70\00:12:01.63
AGAIN, 1 PETER CHAPTER 3, VERSE
18 - "FOR CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED
00:12:01.63\00:12:06.10
ONCE FOR SINS.
00:12:06.10\00:12:07.86
THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST."
00:12:07.86\00:12:09.33
THE REASON THAT HE COULD DIE FOR
OUR SINS IS HE CAME TO EARTH AS
00:12:09.33\00:12:12.53
A HUMAN - AS OUR EXAMPLE.
00:12:12.53\00:12:14.46
HE LIVED A PERFECT LIFE.
00:12:14.46\00:12:16.13
HE SHOWED US WHAT THE FATHER IS
LIKE AND THEN HE TRADED PLACES
00:12:16.13\00:12:19.26
WITH US.
00:12:19.26\00:12:19.83
AT THE CROSS, JESUS
WAS TAKING WHAT WE DESERVE.
00:12:19.83\00:12:23.16
HE'S GIVING US WHAT HE DESERVES.
00:12:23.16\00:12:25.30
HE GIVES US HIS STRENGTH AND HIS
HOLINESS AND HIS PEACE AND HE
00:12:25.30\00:12:27.96
TOOK OUR MISERY AND OUR
SEPARATION AND OUR PAIN -
00:12:27.96\00:12:30.26
OUR PUNISHMENT.
00:12:30.26\00:12:31.90
AND WHEN YOU ACCEPT THAT
BY FAITH, IT BECOMES REAL.
00:12:31.90\00:12:35.80
THAT'S WHY, SO OFTEN WHEN
SOMEONE CAME TO JESUS AND THEY
00:12:35.80\00:12:38.36
WERE HEALED, HE SAID,
'YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WHOLE.'
00:12:38.36\00:12:41.13
GOD'S GIVEN YOU ALL THE POWER
OF FAITH - YOU CAN CHOOSE TO
00:12:41.13\00:12:43.33
BELIEVE AND THEN IT HAPPENS.
00:12:43.33\00:12:45.73
OR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO GO THROUGH
YOUR LIFE AS A DOUBTER AND A
00:12:45.73\00:12:47.83
SKEPTIC AND YOU'LL
HAVE JUST WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
00:12:47.83\00:12:51.50
ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE.
00:12:51.50\00:12:54.06
I WAS IN THE PHILIPPINES A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND I WENT
00:12:54.06\00:12:58.86
TO A PRISON THERE - 10,000
INMATES - AND I - AFTER GOING
00:12:58.86\00:13:04.03
THERE I HEARD A STORY
ABOUT THESE TWO BROTHERS.
00:13:04.03\00:13:08.76
ONE CONVERTED AND BECAME A
CHRISTIAN AND HIS TWIN BROTHER -
00:13:08.76\00:13:13.33
IDENTICAL TWINS - HE DIDN'T
CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE
00:13:13.33\00:13:16.56
HIS WIFE WAS AGAINST IT AND HIS
LIFE STARTED TO SPIRAL DOWNHILL.
00:13:16.56\00:13:21.16
HE DROVE A JEEPNEY - A
TAXI THERE - AND HAD A WIFE
00:13:21.16\00:13:24.23
AND SEVERAL CHILDREN.
00:13:24.23\00:13:25.16
HIS CHRISTIAN BROTHER -
HE NEVER DID GET MARRIED.
00:13:25.16\00:13:27.06
AND THE JEEPNEY DRIVER - TWIN -
HAD AN ACCIDENT, WHILE DRINKING
00:13:27.06\00:13:33.23
- KILLED A MOTHER
AND TWO OF HER CHILDREN.
00:13:33.23\00:13:37.36
HE WAS TRIED FOR MANSLAUGHTER,
PUT IN PRISON FOR 30 YEARS AND
00:13:37.36\00:13:42.03
NOW HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN HAD NO FATHER.
00:13:42.03\00:13:45.93
HIS BROTHER WENT TO PRISON
TO VISIT HIM AND AFTER SPENDING
00:13:45.93\00:13:49.90
SOME TIME WITH HIM HE SAID,
'LOOK, I KNOW THE LORD, I'VE GOT
00:13:49.90\00:13:52.63
ETERNAL LIFE, I COULD STAY HERE
IN PRISON AND WORK FOR JESUS AND
00:13:52.63\00:13:55.60
MINISTER TO THESE PEOPLE HERE.
00:13:55.60\00:13:57.83
YOUR FAMILY NEEDS YOU.
00:13:57.83\00:13:59.66
TAKE MY PASS, TAKE MY CLOTHES,
THE GUARDS WILL NEVER KNOW
00:13:59.66\00:14:03.40
THE DIFFERENCE.
00:14:03.40\00:14:04.73
GO TO YOUR FAMILY.'
AND HIS BROTHER, AFTER JUST
00:14:04.73\00:14:08.83
A LITTLE URGING, ACCEPTED IT.
00:14:08.83\00:14:10.40
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:14:10.40\00:14:11.00
BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF THE
CHRISTIAN BROTHER - IT BROKE HIS
00:14:11.00\00:14:13.16
HEART - HE ACCEPTED CHRIST AND
HE WENT OUT AND TO HIS FAMILY
00:14:13.16\00:14:16.53
AND HAD FREEDOM BECAUSE OF THE
SACRIFICE THAT HIS BROTHER MADE.
00:14:16.53\00:14:20.63
JESUS HASN'T DONE LESS FOR YOU.
00:14:20.63\00:14:23.60
HE IS THE JUST WHO HAS TRADED
PLACES WITH US, THE UNJUST.
00:14:23.60\00:14:28.66
WHAT MUST I DO IN ORDER TO
OBTAIN THIS GIFT OF SALVATION?
00:14:28.66\00:14:32.90
ANSWER: MATTHEW 7:7 - JESUS
SAID, 'ASK AND YOU'LL RECEIVE.'
00:14:32.90\00:14:38.60
HE ALSO SAYS WE NEED TO BE AWARE
THAT WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM AND HE
00:14:38.60\00:14:41.16
HAS THE ANSWER.
00:14:41.16\00:14:42.00
THAT'S CALLED REPENTANCE.
00:14:42.00\00:14:43.73
REPENTANCE MEANS BEING
SORRY FOR OUR SINS AND HAVING A
00:14:43.73\00:14:47.60
WILLINGNESS TO
TURN AWAY FROM THEM.
00:14:47.60\00:14:51.10
IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS HE'S
FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US
00:14:51.10\00:14:55.16
OUR SINS AND TO DO WHAT?
00:14:55.16\00:14:58.06
CAN YOU READ THAT UP THERE?
00:14:58.06\00:14:59.40
CLEANSE US FROM
ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:14:59.40\00:15:02.80
IF WE DO OUR PART AND TELL
GOD THAT WE'RE SORRY, IF WE ASK
00:15:02.80\00:15:05.56
JESUS FOR HIS FORGIVENESS AND WE
CONFESS THAT WE'RE SINNERS, HE
00:15:05.56\00:15:12.43
PROMISES US - UNLESS YOU
THINK GOD'S A LIAR - THAT HE'LL
00:15:12.43\00:15:15.50
FORGIVE US.
00:15:15.50\00:15:16.46
AND NOT ONLY THAT, HE
CLEANSES OUR RECORD FROM ALL THE
00:15:16.46\00:15:18.96
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF YOUR LIFE -
HE LOOKS UPON YOU AS THOUGH YOU
00:15:18.96\00:15:21.53
HAVE NEVER SINNED BEFORE.
00:15:21.53\00:15:23.26
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT DOES FOR
YOU, FRIENDS, BUT I HAD A PRETTY
00:15:23.26\00:15:25.43
BIG RECORD RACKED UP EVEN
BY THE TIME I WAS 17 - WHEN I
00:15:25.43\00:15:28.36
CAME TO JESUS.
00:15:28.36\00:15:30.13
I MEAN, IT MEANT A LOT TO
ME TO HAVE A NEW BEGINNING.
00:15:30.13\00:15:34.20
WHEN I JOIN HIS FAMILY THROUGH
FAITH, WHAT CHANGE DOES JESUS
00:15:34.20\00:15:38.63
MAKE IN MY LIFE?
00:15:38.63\00:15:41.46
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS IN 2
CORINTHIANS 5:17 - "THEREFORE,
00:15:41.46\00:15:45.26
IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST" -
WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE LORD -
00:15:45.26\00:15:48.20
"HE'S A NEW CREATURE.
00:15:48.20\00:15:50.23
THE OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.
00:15:50.23\00:15:52.13
BEHOLD, ALL
THINGS ARE BECOME NEW."
00:15:52.13\00:15:55.26
AND THEN HE SAYS
HE'LL GIVE YOU HIS SPIRIT -
00:15:55.26\00:15:57.06
'EVEN THE SPIRIT OF
TRUTH.' YOU KNOW HIM.
00:15:57.06\00:16:00.73
THAT SPIRIT OF
TRUTH IS A PERSON.
00:16:00.73\00:16:03.53
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE TRUTH.'
THAT'S WHY I'M TELLING YOU,
00:16:03.53\00:16:05.96
FRIENDS, I CAN'T SEPARATE
TEACHING YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT
00:16:05.96\00:16:08.36
PROPHECY FROM JESUS BECAUSE
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE TRUTH.'
00:16:08.36\00:16:12.06
SO HOW CAN YOU SEPARATE THE TWO?
00:16:12.06\00:16:14.30
IF - FOR YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH
ABOUT THE BIBLE AND PROPHECY,
00:16:14.30\00:16:17.26
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW JESUS.
00:16:17.26\00:16:18.96
HE REVEALED THE TRUTH IN HIS
WORD AND THAT'S WHY IT SURVIVED
00:16:18.96\00:16:22.10
SO LONG.
00:16:22.10\00:16:23.90
IT'S NOT LIKE ANY OTHER BOOK.
00:16:23.90\00:16:26.10
WILL THIS CHANGED LIFE REALLY
BE HAPPIER THAN THE PLEASURES OF
00:16:26.10\00:16:30.56
THE OLD LIFE?
00:16:30.56\00:16:31.83
INFINITELY.
00:16:31.83\00:16:33.93
FOR ONE THING, YOU'VE GOT A
FUTURE AND THAT GIVES YOU HOPE.
00:16:33.93\00:16:38.10
HEY FRIENDS, I'VE
BEEN TO THE OLD WORLD.
00:16:38.10\00:16:40.96
I'VE BEEN TO THE DRUGS AND THE
DRINKING AND IMMORALITY AND JUST
00:16:40.96\00:16:43.40
- I WAS EXHIBIT A OF LIVING
FOR THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD.
00:16:43.40\00:16:48.86
THERE'S VERY LITTLE YOU CAN TELL
ME ABOUT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT.
00:16:48.86\00:16:52.43
I GREW UP IN - RIGHT - I USED
TO PLAY - 42ND STREET, NEW YORK
00:16:52.43\00:16:56.60
CITY AS A KID.
00:16:56.60\00:16:58.90
AND YOU KNOW WHAT,
THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
00:16:58.90\00:17:01.40
NOTHING TO GO BACK TO.
00:17:01.40\00:17:02.83
LET ME PUT IT TO
YOU THIS WAY REAL QUICK.
00:17:02.83\00:17:05.13
IF I WERE TO TELL YOU,
'HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A SWISS BANK
00:17:05.13\00:17:09.73
ACCOUNT WITH A BILLION DOLLARS
IN IT AND - TO BE ABLE TO GO TO
00:17:09.73\00:17:14.50
LAS VEGAS AND DO WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO DO - ENJOY ALL THE
00:17:14.50\00:17:16.63
PLEASURES OF THE WORLD,
ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT THAT YOU
00:17:16.63\00:17:20.00
CAN AFFORD?' DON'T ANSWER ME.
00:17:20.00\00:17:22.16
BUT SOME OF YOU ARE
PROBABLY THINKING, 'WELL, THAT
00:17:22.16\00:17:24.00
SOUNDS
INTERESTING.' BUY THE BEST CAR.
00:17:24.00\00:17:28.36
YOU COULD PROBABLY AFFORD THE
BEST BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND,
00:17:28.36\00:17:32.40
BEST FOOD, YOU COULD HAVE THE
BEST OF EVERYTHING - LIVE LIKE A
00:17:32.40\00:17:37.00
KING - PENTHOUSE SUITE.
00:17:37.00\00:17:39.96
BUT THERE'S FINE
PRINT IN THIS AGREEMENT.
00:17:39.96\00:17:43.36
AFTER 30 DAYS YOU DIE.
00:17:43.36\00:17:45.90
YOU'RE GOING TO BE EXECUTED.
00:17:45.90\00:17:48.40
OR I TELL YOU, YOU'VE GOT TO GO
TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE DOCTOR
00:17:48.40\00:17:55.13
HAS TO PERFORM A PAINFUL
SURGERY - WITHOUT ANESTHETIC -
00:17:55.13\00:17:59.40
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE 30 MINUTES.
00:17:59.40\00:18:01.70
BUT WHEN HE'S DONE WITH THE
SURGERY, YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE
00:18:01.70\00:18:04.23
FOREVER WITH A NEW BODY
AND YOU'LL NEVER BE SICK AGAIN,
00:18:04.23\00:18:07.33
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE PAIN AGAIN.
00:18:07.33\00:18:09.20
OKAY, YOU'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS.
00:18:09.20\00:18:11.60
WHO WOULD WANT TO GO HAVE
SURGERY WITHOUT ANESTHETIC?
00:18:11.60\00:18:15.66
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?
00:18:15.66\00:18:17.60
I'D RATHER DO THAT KNOWING THAT
THEN I'VE GOT ETERNAL LIFE IN
00:18:17.60\00:18:21.26
HEAVEN THAN GO TO VEGAS FOR
30 DAYS AND KNOW EVERY TIME I
00:18:21.26\00:18:25.06
ROLLED THE DICE OR PULLED THE
SLOT MACHINE, I'M JUST ONE MORE
00:18:25.06\00:18:28.26
SECOND TO EXECUTION.
00:18:28.26\00:18:31.06
YOU ALL REALLY HAVE
ONE OF THOSE TWO CHOICES.
00:18:31.06\00:18:33.90
YOU CAN SAY, 'I WANT TO ENJOY
THE TEMPORARY PLEASURES OF THE
00:18:33.90\00:18:36.50
WORLD' - YOU KNOW, THAT'S
NOT EVEN A GOOD ILLUSTRATION.
00:18:36.50\00:18:39.20
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:18:39.20\00:18:40.06
BECAUSE SINCE BECOMING A
CHRISTIAN, I'M ENJOYING THIS
00:18:40.06\00:18:41.83
LIFE A LOT BETTER TOO.
00:18:41.83\00:18:44.23
IT'S INFINITELY BETTER FOR
A CHRISTIAN EVEN HERE AND NOW.
00:18:44.23\00:18:47.96
I HAVE A LOT MORE FUN NOW AND I
DON'T HAVE A HANGOVER, YOU KNOW
00:18:47.96\00:18:51.56
WHAT I MEAN?
00:18:51.56\00:18:52.83
IT'S A LOT BETTER
BEING A CHRISTIAN.
00:18:52.83\00:18:54.80
YOU DON'T HAVE THE WITHDRAWAL
FROM THE DRUGS AND THE
00:18:54.80\00:18:56.73
EMBARRASSMENT AND THE SHAME.
00:18:56.73\00:18:59.56
MUCH BETTER - EVEN IN THIS LIFE.
00:18:59.56\00:19:01.76
CHRIST SAID, 'I CAME TO
GIVE YOU LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.'
00:19:01.76\00:19:04.60
BUT CAN I MAKE MYSELF DO ALL
THE THINGS A CHRISTIAN CAN DO?
00:19:04.60\00:19:10.10
HOW CAN I MANAGE THIS?
00:19:10.10\00:19:12.03
ON YOUR OWN YOU CAN'T.
00:19:12.03\00:19:13.53
WITHOUT GOD'S HELP -
JESUS SAID, 'WITHOUT ME HOW MUCH
00:19:13.53\00:19:16.40
CAN YOU DO?' YOU
CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT
00:19:16.40\00:19:18.93
JESUS, BUT THERE'S ANOTHER VERSE
- IT SAYS IN PHILIPPIANS 4:13,
00:19:18.93\00:19:24.00
"I CAN DO" - HOW MANY THINGS?
- "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH
00:19:24.00\00:19:28.10
CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME."
00:19:28.10\00:19:29.63
THINGS I ONCE THOUGHT I'D NEVER
BE ABLE TO DO - WITH GOD'S HELP,
00:19:29.63\00:19:33.40
YOU'RE ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS.
00:19:33.40\00:19:34.70
YOU'RE ABLE TO BE A NEW CREATURE
AND LIVE A NEW KIND OF LIFE.
00:19:34.70\00:19:38.43
'HE WHO HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN
YOU WILL COMPLETE IT UNTIL THE
00:19:38.43\00:19:42.13
DAY OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:19:42.13\00:19:43.86
IT'S AN ONGOING
PROCESS BEING A CHRISTIAN.
00:19:43.86\00:19:47.06
WHEN YOU FIRST COME TO HIM -
IN SOME SENSES IT'S LIKE YOU'RE
00:19:47.06\00:19:49.66
BORN AGAIN - YOU'RE LIKE A BABY
AND YOU CAN LEARN TO WALK AND
00:19:49.66\00:19:51.83
YOU MAY FALL.
00:19:51.83\00:19:52.93
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED, GET BACK
UP AGAIN - AND THE LORD TAKES
00:19:52.93\00:19:56.30
YOUR HAND AND HE STRENGTHENS YOU
AND HE TEACHES YOU AND IT GETS
00:19:56.30\00:20:00.73
BETTER AND BETTER AND MORE AND
MORE JOYFUL AND MORE AND MORE
00:20:00.73\00:20:03.43
ABUNDANT - AND YOU ARE MOVING
TOWARDS THE PROMISED LAND, NOT
00:20:03.43\00:20:06.63
TOWARDS THE SLAVERY OF EGYPT.
00:20:06.63\00:20:08.93
IT'S HARD TO OBEY GOD.
00:20:08.93\00:20:10.83
HAVE YOU EVER
THOUGHT THAT BEFORE?
00:20:10.83\00:20:12.30
YEAH, SOMETIMES IT IS.
00:20:12.30\00:20:13.13
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:20:13.13\00:20:13.73
THE DEVIL DOESN'T WANT YOU TO.
00:20:13.73\00:20:15.16
HE WANTS TO USE YOU TO SAY,
'SEE, THEY DON'T LOVE YOU, THEY
00:20:15.16\00:20:18.06
CAN'T OBEY YOU.'
THAT'S WHY HE TEMPTS YOU
00:20:18.06\00:20:20.20
TO DISOBEY.
00:20:20.20\00:20:20.76
YES YOU CAN.
00:20:20.76\00:20:22.30
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE
ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
00:20:22.30\00:20:26.83
FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD.'
IT TELLS US IN 1 JOHN, 5:3 THAT
00:20:26.83\00:20:31.33
WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.
00:20:31.33\00:20:32.86
HIS COMMANDMENTS
ARE NOT A BURDEN.
00:20:32.86\00:20:35.06
WHEN YOU LOVE HIM - YOU
FALL IN LOVE WITH JESUS -
00:20:35.06\00:20:37.43
IT'S A DELIGHT.
00:20:37.43\00:20:38.96
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID TO THE
FATHER, 'NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR
00:20:38.96\00:20:42.23
WILL BE DONE.' JESUS
SURRENDERED TO THE FATHER
00:20:42.23\00:20:44.83
WHATEVER HE WANTED BECAUSE
HE LOVED THE FATHER AND WHEN WE
00:20:44.83\00:20:48.70
LOVE THE LORD THAT WAY,
WE'LL FEEL THE SAME WAY.
00:20:48.70\00:20:51.33
HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT KEEPING
THE COMMANDMENTS DOESN'T BECOME
00:20:51.33\00:20:53.80
LEGALISM FOR ME?
00:20:53.80\00:20:55.86
HOW DO I KNOW THAT I'M NOT JUST
DOING IT FOR THE WRONG REASONS?
00:20:55.86\00:20:59.76
REVELATION CHAPTER 14,
VERSE 12, "HERE IS THE PATIENCE
00:20:59.76\00:21:03.53
OF THE SAINTS.
00:21:03.53\00:21:04.80
HERE ARE THEY THAT KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAVE THE
00:21:04.80\00:21:08.36
FAITH OF JESUS."
00:21:08.36\00:21:10.50
IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FAITH
OF JESUS - THE SAME KIND OF
00:21:10.50\00:21:13.86
FAITH THAT HE HAD - THE
SAME KIND OF LOVE HE HAD.
00:21:13.86\00:21:16.66
DOING IT NOT TO BE
SAVED, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED.
00:21:16.66\00:21:20.70
SEE, GOD SAVED THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL FIRST - AFTER HE SAVED
00:21:20.70\00:21:23.83
THEM HE BROUGHT THEM TO MOUNT
SINAI AND SAID, 'HERE'S MY LAW.'
00:21:23.83\00:21:27.33
GOD DOESN'T SAY IN
EGYPT, 'HERE'S MY LAW.
00:21:27.33\00:21:29.93
YOU KEEP IT AND I'LL
GET YOU OUT OF HERE.'
00:21:29.93\00:21:32.30
HE SAVES US JUST LIKE WE ARE.
00:21:32.30\00:21:34.10
SO DON'T BE THINKING, 'LORD, I'D
LIKE TO COME TO YOU, BUT FIRST
00:21:34.10\00:21:37.30
I'VE GOT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MY
LIFE AND THEN I'LL ACCEPT YOU.'
00:21:37.30\00:21:39.90
NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU'VE
GOT TO ACCEPT HIM JUST LIKE YOU
00:21:39.90\00:21:42.33
ARE AND THEN HE
HELPS YOU CHANGE.
00:21:42.33\00:21:45.53
HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN THAT
MY FAITH AND LOVE FOR JESUS
00:21:45.53\00:21:49.36
WILL INCREASE?
00:21:49.36\00:21:51.56
WHEN YOU COME TO THE LORD THE
WAY YOU ARE, YOU WANT YOUR FAITH
00:21:51.56\00:21:53.10
TO GROW.
00:21:53.10\00:21:54.83
ANSWER: SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES.
00:21:54.83\00:21:57.86
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LEARNING
ANYTHING DURING THIS SEMINAR,
00:21:57.86\00:21:59.63
IT'S NOT PASTOR DOUG, I'M JUST
SHARING WITH YOU WHAT I LEARNED
00:21:59.63\00:22:02.36
IN THE BIBLE.
00:22:02.36\00:22:03.56
WE'VE GOT SCRIPTURE - A
LOT OF SCRIPTURE EVERY NIGHT -
00:22:03.56\00:22:05.36
AM I RIGHT?
00:22:05.36\00:22:06.73
WE WANT YOU TO KEEP STUDYING THE
BIBLE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOUR
00:22:06.73\00:22:09.80
FAITH WILL GROW.
00:22:09.80\00:22:11.36
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES - PRAY
- THREE PRINCIPLE THINGS: READ
00:22:11.36\00:22:17.06
YOUR BIBLE - THE BREAD OF LIFE -
YOU BREATHE - IF A BABY WANTS TO
00:22:17.06\00:22:19.80
GROW IT EATS - BIBLE - IT
BREATHES AND IT EXERCISES.
00:22:19.80\00:22:26.70
SHARE YOUR FAITH.
00:22:26.70\00:22:27.83
TELL OTHERS ABOUT IT.
00:22:27.83\00:22:28.50
USE WHAT YOU'RE
LEARNING AND YOU WILL GROW.
00:22:28.50\00:22:31.33
THERE'S JUST NO
QUESTION ABOUT IT.
00:22:31.33\00:22:32.93
IT'S A NATURAL LAW.
00:22:32.93\00:22:34.50
TELL OTHERS WHAT GREAT THINGS
GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU - AS I
00:22:34.50\00:22:37.26
SAID, SHARING YOUR FAITH.
00:22:37.26\00:22:38.50
'AS YOU, THEREFORE, HAVE
RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS, SO WALK
00:22:38.50\00:22:42.20
IN HIM.' YOU THEN
WALK IN THAT NEWNESS OF
00:22:42.20\00:22:44.86
LIFE THAT HE'S GIVEN YOU.
00:22:44.86\00:22:47.30
THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS
OF THE GOSPEL, FRIENDS.
00:22:47.30\00:22:51.96
YOU KNOW, CHRIST HAS OFFERED
TO CLEANSE US FROM OUR SINS.
00:22:51.96\00:22:57.30
HE'S OFFERED A BLOOD
TRANSFUSION TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
00:22:57.30\00:23:01.10
I HEARD A FASCINATING STORY IN
A BOOK - A DOCTOR RELATED THAT
00:23:01.10\00:23:06.20
THERE WAS THIS FAMILY THAT HAD
TWO CHILDREN AND THEY BOTH HAD A
00:23:06.20\00:23:09.90
TYPE OF LEUKEMIA, WHICH IS
BASICALLY A BLOOD CANCER - A
00:23:09.90\00:23:13.73
BLOOD DISEASE - AND THE
LITTLE BOY HAD RECOVERED.
00:23:13.73\00:23:17.83
IT TURNS OUT HIS LITTLE
SISTER HAD THE SAME BLOOD TYPE.
00:23:17.83\00:23:21.73
AND SO, THE DOCTOR SAID, YOU
KNOW, TO THE PARENTS, HE SAID,
00:23:21.73\00:23:24.96
'THIS IS YOUR DECISION, BUT WE
ALSO NEED TO ASK LITTLE BILLY,
00:23:24.96\00:23:28.73
BUT HE HAS THE SAME BLOOD TYPE,
HE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE TO
00:23:28.73\00:23:34.30
AVOID REJECTION OF A TRANSFUSION
THAT YOUR LITTLE DAUGHTER MIGHT
00:23:34.30\00:23:38.20
BE HEALED.' SO THE
DOCTOR SAID TO LITTLE
00:23:38.20\00:23:40.90
BILLY, HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW,
SALLY'S SICK AND IF YOU WANT
00:23:40.90\00:23:45.16
SALLY TO LIVE WE'RE GOING TO
NEED SPECIAL BLOOD AND YOU HAVE
00:23:45.16\00:23:50.83
THAT BLOOD.
00:23:50.83\00:23:52.43
BILLY, WOULD YOU BE WILLING
TO GIVE YOUR BLOOD TO SALLY?'
00:23:52.43\00:23:55.76
WELL, LITTLE BILLY, HE LOOKED AT
THE DOCTOR AND HIS LIP STARTED
00:23:55.76\00:23:59.20
TO QUIVER A BIT AND THEN
HE LOOKED AT HIS SISTER AND HE
00:23:59.20\00:24:02.20
SAID, 'YEAH, I'LL DO IT.'
SO THEY SET IT UP AND THEY
00:24:02.20\00:24:06.03
ARRANGED THE TRANSFUSION AND
AS, YOU KNOW, THE BOY WINCED A
00:24:06.03\00:24:10.10
LITTLE BIT WHEN THE NEEDLE WAS
PUT IN HIS ARM AND HE LOOKED AT
00:24:10.10\00:24:14.96
HIS SISTER AGAIN AND HE SMILED
AT HER AND THEN HE WATCHED
00:24:14.96\00:24:18.40
AS THE BLOOD WAS RUNNING OUT OF
HIS ARM INTO THE CONTAINER AND
00:24:18.40\00:24:23.46
PRETTY SOON HE LOOKED UP TO THE
DOCTOR AND HE SAID, 'HOW LONG
00:24:23.46\00:24:27.50
WILL IT TAKE ME TO DIE?'
AND THEN THE DOCTOR REALIZED
00:24:27.50\00:24:32.00
THAT WHEN HE ASKED LITTLE BILLY
TO GIVE HIS BLOOD TO HIS SISTER,
00:24:32.00\00:24:34.90
HE THOUGHT HE WAS
GOING TO TAKE ALL HIS BLOOD.
00:24:34.90\00:24:37.66
AND THE LITTLE BOY WAS
WILLING TO DO IT THAT HIS SISTER
00:24:37.66\00:24:39.53
MIGHT LIVE.
00:24:39.53\00:24:41.50
THINK ABOUT THAT
JUST SELFLESS LOVE.
00:24:41.50\00:24:46.36
DOES JESUS LOVE YOU LESS?
00:24:46.36\00:24:49.13
HE HAS POURED OUT HIS
LIFE THAT YOU MIGHT BE SAVED.
00:24:49.13\00:24:53.80
(MUSIC) STAY TUNED.
00:24:53.80\00:24:55.30
