01:00 >>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
01:03 AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 01:11 >>HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION, 'IGNORANCE IS 01:13 BLISS'? THERE'S A LOT OF CHRISTIANS WHO ARE GOING BY 01:15 'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'. THEY SAY, 'GET RID OF THE LAW. 01:18 I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LAW. 01:19 THE LAW MAKES ME FEEL BAD.' BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S LOOKING IN THE 01:21 LAW THAT GIVES YOU CONVICTION - THAT MAKES YOU SAY, 'WOW, 01:25 SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.' >>FOR OVER 40 YEARS AMAZING 01:31 FACTS HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO SHARING GOD'S WORD THROUGH 01:34 MEDIA. THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS 01:37 FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION BROADCASTS. 01:40 WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THIS EDITION OF AMAZING 01:43 FACTS PRESENTS. >>YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE 01:50 YOU A LITTLE AMAZING FACT AT THE BEGINNING. 01:53 FOR YEARS, AS THESE ANCIENT SHIPS WOULD MAKE THEIR WAY 01:56 ACROSS THE OCEAN, ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS THAT KEPT THOSE 01:59 SHIPS FROM SINKING WAS ROCKS. NOW YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED, 02:04 'HOW DO ROCKS KEEP A SHIP FROM SINKING?' 02:08 BUT MANY OF THE ANCIENT SAILBOATS, THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT 02:11 WHEN THEY HAD A TALL MAST AND THAT LEVERAGE WHEN THEY WERE IN 02:14 THE WIND AND THE WAVES, TO GIVE THEM THE BALLAST AND THE CENTER 02:18 OF GRAVITY THEY NEEDED TO PREVENT THEM FROM CAPSIZING, 02:22 THEY WOULD TAKE VERY CAREFULLY CHOSEN STONES THAT WOULDN'T 02:25 CRACK AND TURN INTO GRAVEL, THEY'D PLACE THEM, 02:28 STRATEGICALLY, ACROSS THE BOTTOM KEEL OF THE SHIP - AND THEY WERE 02:32 CALLED BALLAST STONES - AND IT GAVE THE SHIP A CENTER OF 02:37 GRAVITY - KEPT IT FROM CAPSIZING IN THE WIND AND IN THE WAVES AND 02:41 IT'S BEEN INTERESTING TO GEOLOGISTS. 02:45 AS THEY'VE GONE TO DIFFERENT PORTS AROUND THE WORLD, THEY 02:47 WILL FIND - IN THE CARIBBEAN, FOR INSTANCE, AND PROBABLY ON 02:49 THE COAST OF FLORIDA, ALL OF THESE INTERESTING GRANITE 02:52 STONES. NOW, IF YOU'RE A FLORIDIAN, DO 02:54 YOU HAVE ANY GRANITE IN FLORIDA? NO, EVEN THE ROADS ARE 02:58 MADE OF CORAL HERE, RIGHT? EVERYTHING'S CORAL. 03:01 BUT THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS, THEY - MATTER OF FACT, THE 03:04 HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN FLORIDA, I THINK, IS AN OVERPASS, RIGHT? 03:07 (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) THE FREEWAY - THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS, THESE 03:11 GRANITE STONES AND THEY SAID, 'HOW'D THEY GET HERE? 03:13 AND THEY WERE IDENTIFIED WITH ROCKS THAT YOU'D FIND IN ITALY 03:16 OR SPAIN OR PORTUGAL OR FRANCE OR ENGLAND - IT'S BECAUSE, WHEN 03:20 MANY OF THE SHIPS CAME OVER THEY TOOK SOME OF THEIR BALLAST 03:22 STONES, THEY'D DUMP THEM OUT AND THEY'D ADD CARGO THAT THEY PUT 03:25 LOWER IN THE HOLD AND IT GAVE THEM STABILITY. 03:29 IT KEPT THEM FROM CAPSIZING. IT KEPT THEM FROM BLOWING 03:32 OVER AND SINKING - A STONE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED A 03:36 BALLAST STONE IN YOUR LIFE. SO, TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY 03:41 IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND IT'S DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT 03:43 OF THE LAW OF GOD. NOW THE TITLE OF THE SERIES IS 03:47 THE LAW OF THE LAMB , BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD THE SON. AMEN? 03:51 >>AMEN. >>GOD PUT HIS WORD - THE TEN 03:54 COMMANDMENTS - ON TWO TABLES OF STONE. 03:58 THIS IS THE LAW OF THE LAMB. IT IS WRITTEN BY THE 04:00 LORD, BY HIS OWN FINGER. NOW, JAMES USES AN ILLUSTRATION 04:04 WHERE HE SAYS, 'THE LAW OF GOD IS LIKE A MIRROR; WHOSO LOOKS 04:08 INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY AND CONTINUES THEREIN, NOT BEING 04:11 A FORGETFUL HEARER, BUT A DOER OF THE WORK, THE SAME MAN WILL 04:14 BE BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.' AND YOU CAN SEE THE REFERENCE 04:17 THERE FOR JAMES 1:23. AND THEN, IF YOU'RE WONDERING 04:20 WHAT LAW OF LIBERTY IS JAMES TALKING ABOUT, HE THEN GOES ON 04:23 TO QUOTE FROM TWO OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 04:27 SO, LET ME SEE IF I CAN ILLUSTRATE WHY THIS WOULD BE 04:32 IMPORTANT USING THE PRINCIPLE THAT JAMES WAS TALKING ABOUT 04:41 THERE. ALRIGHT, NOW, DO YOU SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT? 04:44 >>YES. >>LET'S SUPPOSE THAT THIS IS 04:49 DIRT. I DON'T SEE IT. 04:54 NOW YOU SEE THAT I'VE GOT A PROBLEM. 04:57 I WENT UP TO A GUY IN THE AIRPORT - NEVER MET HIM BEFORE - 05:00 BUT HE WENT THROUGH SECURITY - YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF 05:02 YOUR JACKET AND PUT YOUR JACKET BACK ON - AND HIS COLLAR WAS ALL 05:05 FLIPPED AROUND - HE DIDN'T KNOW IT. AND, YOU KNOW, YOUR IQ LOOKS 05:08 LOWER WHEN YOU WALK AROUND LIKE THAT. (LAUGHTER) 05:10 AND NO GUY - NO GUY WANTS THAT TO HAPPEN AND SO, I SAID, 'HEY, 05:13 PARDON ME, BROTHER,' - I SAID - 'LET ME HELP YOU WITH THIS.' 05:15 YOU KNOW, AND I FIXED HIS COLLAR. 05:17 AND HE LOOKED AT ME REALLY STRANGE. 05:19 I THOUGHT, 'I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO MEDDLE,' - I SAID - 05:21 'YOUR COLLAR WAS FLIPPED AROUND BACKWARDS.' I WALKED AWAY, I 05:23 WENT IN THE RESTROOM, MY COLLAR WAS FLIPPED AROUND BACKWARDS - 05:26 (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) I'D GONE THROUGH SECURITY TOO. 05:31 HE'S LOOKING AT ME AND THINKS, 'BOY, REMOVE THE MOTE FROM YOUR 05:34 OWN EYE BEFORE YOU - YOU'VE GOT A BEAM IN YOUR OWN EYE, YOU'RE 05:38 FIXIN' MINE.' SO, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME. 05:43 I DIDN'T SEE MY JACKET WAS MESSED UP THAT DAY. 05:46 IF I'M GOING TO SEE IT - WHEN DID I NOTICE THAT MY COLLAR WAS 05:48 ALL CALLYWAMP - WHEN I LOOKED IN WHAT? 05:51 I WISH I HAD A MIRROR. IT JUST SO HAPPENS I'VE GOT 05:55 A FRIEND IN HIGH PLACES. ALRIGHT, SO, I FEEL OKAY NOW. 06:01 I FEEL JUST LIKE I DID TEN MINUTES AGO, BUT YOU SAY 06:03 SOMETHING'S CHANGED. I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG. 06:07 IT'S DIRT. IT'S SIN, RIGHT? SO, I GO LIKE THIS AND I 06:11 LOOK AND I THINK, 'OH, WOW. THAT'S EMBARRASSING. 06:14 THAT LOOKS REALLY SILLY. I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD ANYMORE. 06:17 I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WRONG.' OBVIOUSLY I FELT GOOD BEFORE I 06:21 LOOKED IN THE MIRROR, SO WHAT'S WRONG IS THE MIRROR. 06:27 IF I JUST GET RID OF THE MIRROR, EVERYTHING'S OKAY. 06:30 >>NO. >>RIGHT? 06:32 >>NOPE. >>BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU EVER HEARD 06:35 THE EXPRESSION 'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'? 06:38 THERE'S A LOT CHRISTIANS WHO ARE GOING BY 'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'. 06:41 THEY SAY, 'GET RID OF THE LAW. I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LAW. 06:43 LAW MAKES ME FEEL BAD.' BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S LOOKING IN THE LAW 06:46 THAT GIVES YOU CONVICTION - THAT MAKES YOU SAY, 'WOW, SOMETHING 06:49 NEEDS TO BE DONE.' AND THEN THERE'S SOME WHO THINK, 'WELL, I 06:52 FELT OKAY UNTIL I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR SO, SINCE THIS SHOWED IT 06:55 TO ME, THIS SHOULD PROBABLY BE WHAT TAKES IT AWAY. 06:59 AND SO, HOW AM I GOING TO DO TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT OFF 07:03 WITH THE MIRROR?' IS THAT WHAT THE 07:04 FUNCTION OF THIS IS? >>NO. 07:05 >>THIS IS - IT SHOWS IT TO ME BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY. 07:09 SO IT'S USELESS. JUST GET RID OF IT. I'LL FEEL BETTER. 07:12 THE FUNCTION OF THE MIRROR IS NOT TO TAKE IT AWAY, IT IS 07:14 SIMPLY TO SHOW ME THAT I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG. 07:17 SO LET'S SUPPOSE THIS IS DIRT - THIS IS A SIN. 07:19 THIS DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY, IT'S SIMPLY SUPPOSED TO SHOW ME. 07:23 SO WHAT DO I DO TO TAKE AWAY MY SIN? 07:26 WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN? 07:27 >>NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.' 07:29 >>THE BLOOD - BOY, I WISH I HAD AN 07:30 ILLUSTRATION FOR THAT. THANK YOU, MRS. BATCHELOR. 07:34 SO, THIS IS THE LAW; THIS IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. 07:38 I NEED THIS TO SAY, 'OH, I'VE GOT A PROBLEM. 07:41 I'M CONVICTED.' AND THEN, I DID THIS ONCE WITH PERMANENT MARKER 07:44 AND IT DIDN'T WORK VERY WELL. I SAID - THEN I LOOK IN 07:49 THE MIRROR AND I SAY, 'OH, EVERYTHING'S OKAY. 07:53 I FEEL BETTER.' AND SO, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS NOW, WHERE 07:56 I HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE. 07:59 SOME PEOPLE HATE THE LAW BECAUSE IT'S CONVICTING THEM THAT 08:02 THERE'S SOMETHING THEY'RE DOING WRONG. 08:04 AND THEN THEY SAY, 'I HATE THE LAW.' THE PROBLEM'S NOT THE LAW. 08:06 THE PROBLEM IS YOU NEED THE BLOOD OF JESUS - 08:07 >>AMEN. >>TO TAKE AWAY THE SIN. 08:10 YOU'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE LAW THEN. 08:12 THE LAW IS SIMPLY SUPPOSED TO POINT YOU TO JESUS. 08:14 NOW, IF YOU GET RID OF THE MIRROR, YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR 08:17 SIN AND THE DEVIL WILL HAVE YOU LIVING UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT 08:21 EVERYTHING'S FINE AND YOU'LL BE DOING WHAT I JUST DID, PREACHING 08:24 WITH A BIG MARK ON YOUR FACE - AND EVERYONE SEES IT BUT YOU AND 08:29 YOU'RE LIVING IN A DREAM. ARE THERE PEOPLE, WHEN CHRIST 08:32 COMES, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, 'LORD, LORD,' - AND HE'S GOING 08:35 TO SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.' >>THAT'S RIGHT. 08:37 >>WHY DOES HE SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU'? 08:39 HE SAYS, 'DEPART FROM ME YOU WORKERS OF INIQUITY.' YOU KNOW 08:42 WHAT THAT WORD 'INIQUITY' IS? YOU READ IT IN THE 08:44 GREEK - 'LAWLESSNESS'. A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY KNOW 08:48 JESUS' NAME AND THEY SAY, 'OH, I TAUGHT IN YOUR STREETS, I DID 08:50 MANY WONDERFUL WORKS.' HE'LL SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU. 08:53 DEPART FROM ME, WORKERS OF INIQUITY. 08:55 WHY DO YOU CALL ME 'LORD, LORD' AND DO NOT THE THINGS THAT I 08:57 SAY?' WHERE'S THE WILL OF GOD? IT'S IN THE LAW OF GOD. 09:03 SO WHAT IS THE OLD COVENANT? BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE LIVING 09:07 UNDER THE NEW COVENANT NOW, RIGHT? 09:10 YOU CAN READ IN DEUTERONOMY 4:13, "AND HE DECLARED UNTO YOU 09:13 HIS COVENANT, WHICH HE COMMANDED YOU TO PERFORM, EVEN TEN 09:17 COMMANDMENTS, AND HE WROTE THEM UPON TWO TABLES OF STONE." 09:20 SO THE OLD COVENANT IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THAT WERE WRITTEN 09:24 ON STONE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT A COVENANT IS? 09:27 A COVENANT IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE. 09:30 GOD FIRST SPOKE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN THE HEARING OF 09:33 THE NATION OF ISRAEL AND THE PEOPLE SAID, 'ALL THAT THE LORD 09:35 HAS SAID WE WILL DO.' YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH 09:38 SOMEBODY - YOU SAY, 'LOOK, I'LL SELL YOU MY HOUSE. 09:40 I WANT 300,000 DOLLARS.' AND THEY SAY, 'OH, HOW ABOUT 09:44 280,000?' AND YOU SAY, 'OKAY, WE'LL DO IT FOR 290,000. 09:47 WE'LL SETTLE.' 'ALRIGHT.' YOU MADE A VERBAL AGREEMENT, LET'S 09:50 WRITE IT DOWN. YOU CODIFY IT. THEN YOU GET A COPY OF THE SALES 09:54 AGREEMENT - PURCHASE AGREEMENT - I GET A COPY - ISN'T 09:57 THAT HOW IT WORKS? THAT'S A COVENANT. 09:59 THAT'S ALL A COVENANT IS - IT'S AN AGREEMENT. 10:01 GOD SPOKE IT, THEY SAID, 'ALL THE LORD SAYS WE WILL DO.' GOD 10:04 SAID, 'I'LL GO MAKE THE COPIES.' MOSES WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN, GOD 10:08 GAVE HIM THE AGREEMENT - THE COVENANT - HE SAID, 'HERE'S MY 10:10 LAW.' AND YOU READ DEUTERONOMY 28, HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME AND 10:15 YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS' - YOU KNOW, RIGHT IN THE TEN 10:16 COMMANDMENTS IT SAYS, 'LOVE GOD' - IN THE COMMANDMENT ABOUT 10:20 IDOLATRY IT SAYS, 'SHOWING MERCY UNTO THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE 10:23 ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.' SO THE KEY IS LOVING GOD. 10:27 BUT DID THEY KEEP HIS LAW? >>NO. 10:30 >>BEFORE MOSES EVEN CAME DOWN THE MOUNTAIN THEY MADE A GOLDEN 10:32 CALF - THEY DID IT IN THE CONTEXT OF WORSHIP - AND THEY 10:35 HAD A WILD PARTY AND BEFORE THE DAY WAS OVER, IT SAYS, THEY MADE 10:39 THEMSELVES NAKED - IT GOT WAY OUT OF HAND AND THEY BROKE ALL 10:42 THE LAW - THEY WORSHIPED IDOLS AND GOD SAID, 'LOOK, YOU DIDN'T 10:47 KEEP OUR COVENANT.' NOW THAT WAS THE OLD COVENANT WHERE THE LAW 10:52 OF GOD WAS WRITTEN IN STONE. UPON WHAT IS THE 10:55 NEW COVENANT BASED? IT TELLS THAT THE NEW COVENANT - 10:58 HE SAYS, "I WILL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR MIND, AND I'LL WRITE 11:02 THEM IN THEIR HEARTS." THAT'S HEBREWS 8:10. 11:05 NOW, IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES, IF YOU TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO 11:08 JEREMIAH 31:31, WHERE DO YOU FIRST FIND THE NEW COVENANT? 11:12 NOT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. WHEN PAUL QUOTES THERE, IN 11:15 HEBREWS, THE NEW COVENANT, HE'S QUOTING JEREMIAH. 11:19 YOU LOOK IN JEREMIAH 31:31, "'BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING,' 11:23 SAYS THE LORD, 'I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF 11:25 ISRAEL, WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT I 11:28 MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE DAY I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO 11:31 LEAD THEM OUT OF EGYPT, MY COVENANT THAT THEY BROKE.'" THEY 11:35 BROKE IT WAY BACK BEFORE JEREMIAH - "THOUGH I WAS A 11:38 HUSBAND TO THEM. BUT THIS IS THE NEW COVENANT 11:40 THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AFTER THOSE 11:42 DAYS,' SAYS THE LORD." - 'I'LL GIVE THEM 11:44 A DIFFERENT LAW. I'LL CHANGE THE LAW. 11:46 I'LL DO AWAY WITH THE LAW.' NO. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT. 11:48 I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING. 11:50 HE SAYS, 'I'LL PUT MY LAW' - SAME LAW - 'IN A DIFFERENT 11:53 PLACE. I'LL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR MINDS 11:56 AND I'LL WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS, AND I'LL BE THEIR GOD 11:59 AND THEY'LL BE MY PEOPLE.' SO THE NEW COVENANT IS NOT A CHANGE 12:03 IN THE LAW, THE NEW COVENANT IS A CHANGE IN THE PLACE 12:05 THE LAW IS WRITTEN. GOD WRITES HIS LAW IN 12:09 YOUR HEART THROUGH LOVE. >>AMEN. 12:11 >>DOESN'T LIVING UNDER GOD'S GRACE MAKE KEEPING GOD'S LAW 12:16 NON-ESSENTIAL? YOU'VE HEARD THAT? 12:17 'I'M NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE. I'M NOW UNDER GRACE.' AND THE 12:21 BIBLE TALKS ABOUT NOT BEING UNDER LAW. 12:23 WHAT DOES PAUL MEAN WHEN HE SAYS, 'NOT BEING UNDER LAW'? 12:26 HE DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE NO LONGER UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO 12:29 KEEP THE LAW - BECAUSE JUST FOLLOW THAT THROUGH. 12:31 DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO BE HONEST? 12:35 YOU'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO NOT STEAL? 12:38 YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN TO YOUR SPOUSE AND SAY, 'YOU'RE NOT 12:40 OBLIGATED TO KEEP THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT.' DOES ANYONE 12:44 BELIEVE THAT? THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS. 12:46 SO PAUL, CERTAINLY, DOESN'T MEAN THAT. 12:48 HE MEANS, BECAUSE OF THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS WE ARE NO 12:52 LONGER UNDER THE PENALTY OF THE LAW.' - THE WAGES ARE DEATH. 12:57 HE'S NOT SAYING YOU'RE NOT UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO OBEY IT. 13:00 >>I'M ALWAYS STUNNED WHEN I HEAR A PASTOR TELL HIS CONGREGATION, 13:04 'BECAUSE WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW, YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE 13:06 TEN COMMANDMENTS.' IN REALITY, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE A 13:09 PERFECT EXPRESSION OF GOD'S LAWS OF LOVE AND LIBERTY, AND VERY 13:13 IMPORTANT FOR A CHRISTIAN. MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO BETTER 13:16 UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT. IF SO, WE HAVE A SPECIAL NEW DVD 13:20 - IT'S THE FIRST IN A 12-PART SERIES CALLED THE TEN 13:23 COMMANDMENTS: LAWS OF LOVE AND LIBERTY. 13:26 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN OR 13:29 VISIT OFFERS.AFTV.ORG AND ASK FOR OFFER #808. 13:36 AND WHEN YOU GET THIS EXCITING NEW RESOURCE, MAKE SURE AND 13:38 WATCH IT AND THEN SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE, BECAUSE GOD'S 13:41 MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION. 13:44 >>I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY - THIS IS A TRUE STORY - AND 13:48 I WAS DEEP IN THOUGHT - GOING TOO FAST - AND I MUST HAVE BEEN 13:52 REALLY DEEP IN THOUGHT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY PASSED - SPEEDING - 13:57 A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN THAT WAS NEXT TO ME. 14:00 (LAUGHTER) AND HE PULLED ME OVER - HE WAS PRETTY NICE - AND HE 14:04 SAID, 'LOOK, YOU WEREN'T GOING THAT FAST, BUT I WAS FOLLOWING 14:06 SOMEONE ELSE AND YOU PASSED ME AND YOU WERE SPEEDING AND I 14:08 THOUGHT, 'WELL, I CAN'T PULL THEM OVER IF YOU'RE JUST' - I 14:10 SAID, 'OH, OFFICER, I AM SO SORRY.' - I SAID - 'I JUST WAS 14:13 ON ONE OF THESE ROADS THAT WAS 70 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN I CAME 14:15 ON - I SWITCHED OFF ONTO THIS HIGHWAY AND I JUST - I REALLY' - 14:18 I SAID - I SAID, 'CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE MERCY?' 14:21 (LAUGHTER) NOW I'VE BEEN - I'M NOT PROUD OF MY DRIVING RECORD 14:29 AND I COULD PROBABLY TEACH TRAFFIC SCHOOL (LAUGHTER) YOU 14:34 KNOW, I KNOW THE LORD'S COMING SOON SO WE NEED TO MAKE HASTE 14:37 AND SO I'VE GOTTEN MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPEEDING TICKETS. 14:42 AND I SAID, 'PLEASE HAVE MERCY. 14:44 YOU KNOW, MY INSURANCE JUST FINALLY WENT DOWN. 14:46 I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY' - (LAUGHTER) - 'AND I CAN'T GO 14:48 HOME AND TELL MY WIFE THAT I JUST GOT ANOTHER TICKET.' AND I 14:52 JUST CONFESSED, I SAID, 'I'M GUILTY. 14:54 I REPENT. HAVE MERCY. ALL I CAN ASK FOR IS MERCY. 14:56 I DON'T WANT JUSTICE, I WANT MERCY.' (LAUGHTER) AND HE SAID, 15:00 'ALRIGHT.' HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO WRITE YOU A WARNING.' AND SO 15:02 HE WRITES ME A WARNING. HE SAID, 'ALRIGHT, SLOW DOWN.' 15:05 AND I SAID, 'PRAISE THE LORD.' NOW, I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL OVER 15:08 WHEN HE PULLED ME OVER BECAUSE I WAS IN A HURRY. 15:11 DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE IN A HURRY AND THEN THE POLICEMAN 15:12 PULLS YOU OVER AND THEN YOU'RE REALLY LATE AND YOU HAVE TO SAY, 15:15 'OFFICER, CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY UP WITH THIS TICKET BECAUSE I'VE 15:17 GOT TO GET GOING?' (LAUGHTER) 15:18 AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DRIVE TWICE AS FAST BECAUSE 15:20 YOU PULLED ME OVER.' (LAUGHTER) THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. 15:25 AND SO, I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I BROKE THE LAW. 15:30 AND SO, WHEN I SEE THOSE BLUE AND RED LIGHTS - YOU EVER NOTICE 15:34 WHEN YOU SEE A POLICEMAN - HOW MANY OF YOU AUTOMATICALLY TAKE 15:37 YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR? YOU MAY BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT 15:41 AND YOU SEE A POLICEMAN, YOU - (LAUGHTER) - AND SO 15:46 I HAD TO PULL OVER. AND FINALLY, WHEN HE GAVE ME 15:49 BACK THE WARNING HE SAID, 'LOOK, I'M GOING TO LET YOU GO. 15:52 I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A TICKET.' I'M NO LONGER UNDER THE 15:55 LAW, I'M NOW UNDER GRACE. HE'S FORGIVEN ME. 15:59 BOY, IT'D BE REALLY GREAT IF HE SAID, 'LOOK, THERE'S A PENALTY. 16:01 I'M GOING TO PAY YOUR TICKET FOR YOU.' THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY 16:03 OFTEN, BUT THAT WOULD BE REALLY A GREAT ILLUSTRATION IF THAT 16:07 HAPPENED. BUT HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO LET 16:09 YOU GO.' SO NOW I SAID, 'PRAISE THE LORD, I'M NO LONGER UNDER 16:13 THE LAW. HE SAID I'M FREE.' I BELIEVE HIS WORD THAT I'M 16:15 FREE, WHICH MEANS NOW I GET TO DRIVE 90 MILES AN HOUR. 16:19 SO I REV MY ENGINE AND I PEEL OUT AWAY FROM THE POLICEMAN, 16:23 SPRAY GRAVEL OVER THE HOOD OF HIS CAR AND SAY, 'PRAISE GOD I'M 16:26 NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW, I'M UNDER GRACE NOW.' IS THAT HOW 16:29 YOU DO IT? >>NO! 16:31 >>NO, NO, YOU KNOW WHAT I DID? 16:33 I SAID, 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH, OFFICER.' I TOOK OUT SOMETHING, 16:36 I CLEANED OFF MY REARVIEW MIRROR, I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW, 16:39 I PUT MY BLINKER ON, I PUT IT IN GEAR, I PULLED OUT VERY SLOW - I 16:45 WAITED 'TIL THERE WERE NO CARS FOR SIX MILES IN ANY DIRECTION - 16:48 (LAUGHTER) - I PULLED OUT VERY CAREFULLY AND I WENT LIKE 45 ½ 16:51 MILES AN HOUR LOOKING BOTH WAYS BECAUSE, PRAISE THE LORD, I'VE 16:54 JUST BEEN FORGIVEN. I AM NOW UNDER GRACE. I AM GOING TO BE 16:57 THE MOST CAREFUL PERSON ON THE ROAD, RIGHT? 17:00 CHRISTIANS, WHEN THEY REALIZE WHAT THEIR FORGIVENESS 17:03 HAS COST, WHEN CHRISTIANS REALIZE WHAT THEIR LAWBREAKING 17:08 HAS COST, SHOULD BE THE ONES WHO ARE THE MOST CAREFUL NOT TO DO 17:14 THE THING THAT CRUCIFIED JESUS, AMEN? 17:16 >>AMEN. >>AND BE OBEDIENT. 17:19 SO, NO, WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, WE ARE UNDER GRACE. 17:23 BUT WHAT DOES PAUL SAY IN ROMANS 6:15? 17:25 "WHAT THEN? SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT 17:29 UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID." HE SAID, 'DON'T EVEN THINK THAT.' 17:32 AND YET, THAT'S WHAT SOME CHURCHES ARE TEACHING. 17:35 ROMANS 3:31, "DO WE THEN MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH? 17:40 GOD FORBID: YEA, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW." 17:43 WHEN YOU'VE GOT FAITH YOU DON'T MAKE VOID THE LAW, YOU SEAL IT; 17:46 YOU ENDORSE IT, YOU AFFIRM IT. 17:48 INDEED, JESUS SAID, "AND IT IS EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO 17:51 PASS, THAN ONE TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL." 17:55 IS HEAVEN STILL THERE? IS EARTH STILL THERE? 17:59 THEN GOD'S TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE STILL THERE. 18:01 AND I ALREADY QUOTED YOU, 'JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, 18:04 TODAY, AND FOREVER.' SO, ARE PEOPLE SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW? 18:09 THIS IS A POINT I NEED TO MAKE VERY CLEAR. 18:11 IS ANYONE SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW? 18:13 I'VE HEARD FOLKS SAY, 'WELL, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THEY WERE 18:16 SAVED BY THE LAW. NOW WE'RE SAVED BY 18:17 GRACE.' THAT IS NONSENSE. ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND 18:22 GOD COUNTED IT UNTO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 18:24 ABRAHAM WAS SAVED BY FAITH. READ HEBREWS 11, IT TALKS ABOUT 18:29 ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT CHARACTERS WHO WERE SAVED BY FAITH. 18:32 THEY WERE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MESSIAH. 18:35 WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING BACK TO CHRIST. EVERYBODY IS 18:39 SAVED BY JESUS. NOBODY IS SAVED BY WORKS. WE'RE ALL SAVED BY 18:44 FAITH. WE DO NOT KEEP THE LAW TO BE SAVED, WE KEEP THE LAW 18:48 BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED. >>AMEN. 18:50 >>JESUS SAID, 'YOU'LL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS.' AND IF WE'VE 18:54 GOT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS LOVE - AND JESUS SAID, 18:56 'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS' - EPHESIANS 2:8. 19:00 HE GOES ON TO SAY, "FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND 19:04 THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, 19:08 LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST." I LIKE WHAT D.L. 19:11 MOODY SAID - HE WAS A GREAT PREACHER - HE SAID, "THE 19:14 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD GIVEN TO MOSES IN THE MOUNT AT HOREB ARE 19:18 AS BINDING TODAY AS EVER THEY HAVE BEEN SINCE THE TIME WHEN 19:22 THEY WERE PROCLAIMED IN THE HEARING OF THE PEOPLE." 19:25 AND SOMEONE ASKED BILLY GRAHAM A QUESTION - HE USED TO HAVE A 19:28 QUESTION AND ANSWER THING IN THE DALLAS NEWS WHERE THEY'D MAIL IN 19:31 QUESTIONS - AND THE QUESTION WAS, 'DOES GOD STILL EXPECT US 19:34 TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?' HERE'S THE ANSWER FROM 19:37 DR. GRAHAM, "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE JUST AS VALID 19:40 TODAY AS WHEN GOD GAVE THEM TO MOSES OVER 3,000 YEARS AGO. 19:44 JESUS SAID, 'I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH 19:47 DISAPPEAR, NOT THE SMALLEST LETTER, NOT THE LEAST STROKE OF 19:51 THE PEN, WILL BY ANY MEANS DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAW.'" WHAT 19:55 LAW IS IT THEN THAT WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS? 19:57 AND THIS IS WHERE SOME PEOPLE GET CONFUSED. 20:00 YOU CAN READ IN COLOSSIANS 2:14 - NOW YOU NEED TO - YOU MIGHT 20:03 WANT TO TAKE A FEW NOTES - AND THIS WILL BE IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL 20:05 MATERIAL, IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING ALONG - WE'VE GOT A LESSON THAT 20:10 TALKS ABOUT WRITTEN IN STONE AND IT EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE 20:14 BETWEEN WHAT LAWS ARE NAILED TO THE CROSS, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, 20:18 AND THE CEREMONIAL LAWS - COLOSSIANS 2:14, "BLOTTING OUT 20:21 THE" - NOW I UNDERLINED THAT - WHAT'S IT SAY? 20:24 - "HANDWRITING...THAT WAS AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY 20:29 TO US, AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS." 20:35 NOW, IF YOU GO TO EXODUS 32 - LET'S FIND OUT WHAT WAS NAILED 20:38 TO THE CROSS - EXODUS 32:16, "NOW THE TABLETS WERE THE WORK 20:43 OF GOD, AND THE WRITING WAS THE WRITING OF GOD ENGRAVED ON THE 20:46 TABLETS." - GOD WROTE AN ENGRAVING OF THE TEN 20:49 COMMANDMENTS - IT IS GOD-WRITTEN, IT IS NOT 20:50 THE HANDWRITING OF MAN. BUT, WHAT MOSES WROTE, AS 20:55 FAR AS THE CEREMONIAL LAW AND ORDINANCES YOU CAN READ IN 2 20:59 CHRONICLES 33:8 - I WANT YOU TO NOTICE THERE - HE SAYS, "THEY 21:04 WILL TAKE HEED TO DO ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEM," - SO GOD 21:07 IS SPEAKING - "ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEM, ACCORDING TO THE 21:09 WHOLE LAW AND" - SO AFTER HE SAYS, 'WHOLE LAW' AND THEN HE 21:13 SAYS, 'AND' - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 21:14 AND MEANS WHAT? YOU'RE ADDING SOMETHING TO IT. "AND THE 21:17 STATUTES AND THE ORDINANCES BY THE HAND OF MOSES." 21:22 ORDINANCES, HANDWRITING - THE CEREMONIAL LAWS CONTAINED IN 21:28 ORDINANCES - NOW WHERE DID THEY PUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? 21:31 WAS IT - IN THE ARK OF THE COVENANT - WHERE WERE THE 21:34 CEREMONIAL LAWS PLACED? >>ON THE OUTSIDE. 21:37 >>READ IN DEUTERONOMY 31:26, "AND TAKE THIS BOOK OF THE LAW," 21:42 - WRITTEN ON PAPER - "AND PUT IT IN THE SIDE OF THE ARK OF THE 21:46 COVENANT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD. 21:48 THAT IT MAY BE THERE FOR A WITNESS AGAINST THEE." 21:51 YOU REMEMBER WHAT PAUL SAID IN COLOSSIANS? 21:53 HANDWRITING, ORDINANCES, AGAINST US. 21:56 IT IS SO CLEAR, WHEN YOU ARE A JEW, LIKE PAUL, AND HE 22:00 UNDERSTOOD THE OLD TESTAMENT AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE 22:02 HANDWRITING OF MOSES THAT WAS IN THE CEREMONIAL LAWS, PLACED 22:06 OUTSIDE THE ARK, TO WITNESS AGAINST US. 22:08 NOT TALKING ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 22:10 BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO LAWS. 22:13 EPHESIANS 2:15, "HAVING ABOLISHED...THE LAW OF 22:16 COMMANDMENTS CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES." 22:20 SO, ARE THERE SOME LAWS THAT ARE NAILED TO THE CROSS? 22:24 CAN YOU NAIL STONE TO ANYTHING? NOT VERY EASILY, HUH? 22:27 IT WAS THE CEREMONIAL LAWS THAT WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS. 22:31 THIS IS THE LAWS THAT CONTAINED THE ANNUAL SABBATHS, THE MEAT 22:35 OFFERINGS, THE DRINK OFFERINGS - SO MANY THINGS THAT REVOLVED 22:37 AROUND THE SANCTUARY AND ITS SERVICES - THE TEN COMMANDMENT 22:41 LAW IS ETERNAL IN NATURE. WAS IT A SIN FOR JOSEPH TO 22:45 COMMIT ADULTERY WITH POTIPHAR'S WIFE? 22:47 >>YES. >>IT WOULD HAVE BEEN. 22:50 YEAH, HE SAID 'HOW CAN I DO THIS TERRIBLE THING AND SIN?' 22:54 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HADN'T BEEN WRITTEN YET - IT WAS STILL A SIN 22:57 BEFORE THAT HAPPENED. WAS - DID GOD TELL CAIN - HE 23:01 SAID, 'SIN IS AT YOUR DOOR,' WHEN HE WAS THINKING OF 23:04 MURDERING HIS BROTHER. YOU MEAN WAY BACK IN THE GARDEN 23:06 OF EDEN, BEFORE MOSES WROTE 'THOU SHALT NOT MURDER.' 23:08 MURDER WAS A SIN. TEN COMMANDMENTS GO 23:11 ALL THE WAY BACK. THEY'RE ETERNAL IN NATURE. 23:14 THE CEREMONIAL LAWS DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL THE EXODUS AND THEY 23:17 ENDED WITH THE CROSS - THEY'RE TEMPORARY - 23:19 THEY WERE TO HELP US RECOGNIZE JESUS, FRIENDS. 23:22 THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECTS BECAUSE IT'S 23:26 SO STRANGE THAT WE'RE LIVING IN TIME WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE FUZZY 23:29 ABOUT SOMETHING AS BASIC AS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 23:31 I WOULD THINK WE'D NOTICE THAT WHEN GOD GATHERS A NATION 23:35 TOGETHER AND HE SPEAKS TO THEM AUDIBLY IN HIS OWN VOICE, ON A 23:40 MOUNTAIN, THUNDER AND SMOKE, THEN HE TAKES STONE - NOT PAPER 23:44 - AND HE WRITES IT WITH HIS OWN FINGER, AND HE SAYS, 'PUT IT IN 23:48 THE MOST SACRED LOCATION IN YOUR NATION' - THE GOLDEN BOX IN THE 23:52 MIDDLE OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES - THE INNER SANCTUM OF THE 23:54 SANCTUARY - HE SAYS, 'THIS IS MY WORD. 23:57 I SPOKE TO YOU MY WILL.' AND FOR CHRISTIANS TO SAY THEY LOVE 24:01 JESUS, WHO HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY, 'HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT 24:05 THAT.' OR 'THAT'S NO LONGER IMPORTANT.' WHERE IN THE WORLD 24:10 DO WE GET THAT IDEA? I'LL BE TELLING YOU WHERE 24:13 THAT IDEA COMES FROM, LATER. BUT FRIENDS, THE BOTTOM 24:15 LINE IS 'DO YOU LOVE ME?' IF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES 24:20 YOU - BECAUSE HE DIED TO SAVE YOU. 24:22 I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY ABOUT A MAN, HE WAS DRIVING TOO FAST 24:27 THROUGH THIS SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD AND HE SAW THE RED 24:30 AND BLUE LIGHTS AND HE PULLED OVER AND THE POLICEMAN CAME UP 24:35 AND HE SAID, 'LOOK OFFICER, I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST. 24:38 I KNOW I DIDN'T STOP COMPLETELY AT THE STOP SIGN; I KIND OF 24:41 ROLLED THROUGH IT, BUT I LOOKED AROUND BEFORE I DID AND - AND 24:44 CAN YOU GIVE ME A BREAK? AND AFTER ALL, I'M ALMOST SURE 24:46 YOU GO TO THE SAME CHURCH I GO TO.' AND THE OFFICER 24:50 DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. HE WALKED BEHIND THE GUY'S 24:53 CAR AND HE STARTED WRITING. HE GOT REALLY MAD - THE DRIVER 24:55 - HE SAID, 'MAN, HE COULD HAVE GIVEN ME A BREAK, YOU KNOW?' 24:57 AND JUST STARTED SLAMMING ON HIS STEERING WHEEL AND THOUGHT, 'OH, 25:00 MY INSURANCE IS GOING TO GO UP.' AND HE WAS ALL UPSET AND HE WAS 25:02 FUMING AND FINALLY THE POLICEMAN CAME OVER, HE TAPPED ON HIS 25:06 WINDOW AND HE JUST ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN THAT FAR. 25:09 THE POLICEMAN POPPED THE PIECE OF PAPER THROUGH THE CRACK IN 25:12 THE WINDOW - THE GUY WAS BEING VERY RUDE NOW - AND THE 25:15 POLICEMAN GOT IN HIS CAR AND DROVE OFF. 25:18 THE GUY PICKED UP THE PAPER - IT WASN'T A TICKET, IT WAS A NOTE. 25:23 AND THE POLICEMAN SAID, 'I KNOW YOU, BOB.' - AND HE SAID, 'I'M 25:28 GOING TO LET YOU GO TODAY.' - HE SAID, 'I JUST WANT TO LET YOU 25:31 KNOW THAT A SPEEDING DRIVER KILLED MY DAUGHTER FOUR YEARS 25:36 AGO AND I'M REALLY STRUGGLING TO FORGIVE, AND I'M HOPING THAT ONE 25:42 MORE ACT OF FORGIVENESS IS GOING TO HELP ME TODAY. 25:46 PLEASE SLOW DOWN.' SO HERE'S A QUESTION: WHEN THAT GUY PULLED 25:51 AWAY, DO YOU THINK HE DROVE DIFFERENT? 25:56 HE WAS FORGIVEN. EVEN THOUGH THAT OFFICER HAD 26:00 LOST A CHILD TO A SPEEDER. >>WOW. 26:04 >>WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CROSS, JESUS IS HANGING THERE, NOT JUST 26:07 FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD, HE'S HANGING THERE FOR YOUR SIN. 26:10 >>THAT'S RIGHT. >>HE'S HANGING THERE 26:11 FOR YOUR LAWLESSNESS. AND HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME, 26:15 PLEASE DON'T KEEP DOING THE THINGS THAT HURT YOU AND THEY 26:18 HURT ME AND THEY HURT OTHERS.' YOUR DISOBEDIENCE NOT ONLY HURTS 26:22 GOD, IT NOT ONLY HURTS YOU, IT HURTS YOUR NEIGHBOR. 26:26 AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE GOD, AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, 26:28 AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOURSELF, YOU WANT TO BE OBEYING GOD'S 26:32 LAW. YOU WILL BE BLESSED. YOU WILL HAVE PEACE. 26:35 WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE THAT PEACE, FRIENDS? 26:36 >>AMEN. >>WOULD YOU LIKE TO ASK HIM 26:39 TONIGHT? HOW MUCH CAN WE DO WITHOUT GOD'S 26:41 HELP? >>NOTHING. 26:42 >>NOTHING. ARE WE SAVED BY OBEYING THE LAW 26:44 OR ARE WE SAVED BY GRACE? >>GRACE. 26:46 >>BUT IF WE'RE SAVED BY GRACE AND IF WE LOVE JESUS, WILL WE 26:49 WANT TO OBEY HIS LAW? >>YES. 26:52 >>AMAZING FACTS HAS IMPACTED MY LIFE. 26:54 >>AND I JUST PRAISE GOD FOR AMAZING FACTS. 26:56 >>AMAZING FACTS ACTUALLY DID HAVE AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE. 26:58 >>THIS WHOLE PROCESS - GETTING WHERE I AM TODAY - I FELT GOOD 27:02 ABOUT THAT. I DIDN'T FEEL CONDEMNED. 27:03 >>I BEGAN READING THE BIBLE AND - 27:06 >>I GOT BAPTIZED INTO A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST - 27:08 >>I REALIZED THAT THERE HAD TO BE MORE TO LIFE. 27:11 >>GOD IS REALLY DOING THIS. >>THE LIFE THAT HE'S GIVEN ME. 27:13 >>THIS MESSAGE WAS SO POWERFUL. >>I'LL FOLLOW CHRIST 27:15 WHEREVER HE GOES. >>AMAZING FACTS. MORE THAN 45 27:20 YEARS OF PROCLAIMING GOD'S MESSAGE AROUND THE WORLD. 27:24 >>AND THEN THE LOGO POPS ACROSS AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS. 27:28 I'VE LISTENED TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT MINISTERS, BUT THIS 27:30 WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT HE'S ACTUALLY SAYING SOMETHING WHERE 27:33 I HAD TO GRAB MY BIBLE AND ACTUALLY PICK IT UP AND I'VE 27:37 NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE. LET ME - LET ME LOOK 27:39 THROUGH AND FIND THIS. THEN I JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH. 27:41 >>AND SO I STARTED DOING BIBLE STUDIES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 27:44 THESE GUYS STARTED BEING CHANGED, INCLUDING MYSELF. 27:48 >>MY QUESTION WAS, 'WHY DID THAT HAPPEN TO ME, GOD?' 27:52 THE LORD WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT AND - AND I ACTUALLY SAW HIM AS 27:55 A FATHER. >>I LOST EVERYTHING AND THAT WAS 27:58 WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT WAS GOD MISSING IN MY LIFE. 28:02 >>I WENT TO A PROPHECY SEMINAR, WHICH KNOCKED ME OUT. 28:05 THIS MESSAGE WAS SO POWERFUL AND SO IRREFUTABLE, I JUST WENT, 28:10 'THIS IS REAL. THIS IS - THIS IS AMAZING.' 28:15 >>CAN'T GET ENOUGH AMAZING FACTS BIBLE STUDY? 28:18 YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK TO ENJOY MORE 28:20 TRUTH-FILLED PROGRAMMING, VISIT THE AMAZING FACTS MEDIA LIBRARY 28:25 AT 'AFTV.ORG'.
