? [Island Music] ? PB: Hello.
00:00:01.10\00:01:01.56
My name is Dr. Carlton Byrd
and I'm the speaker-director
00:01:01.56\00:01:05.53
of the Breath of
Life television ministry.
00:01:05.53\00:01:07.30
Right now I'm standing on
the beautiful island of Bermuda.
00:01:07.30\00:01:11.43
That's right, Breath of Life
is in the county of Bermuda.
00:01:11.43\00:01:14.73
This wonderful island nation
of 20 miles long, pink sand,
00:01:14.73\00:01:19.43
beautiful beaches, palm trees,
it's just paradise on earth.
00:01:19.43\00:01:25.06
But when I think
about how beautiful it is,
00:01:25.06\00:01:27.83
I say to myself,
God must have something
00:01:27.83\00:01:30.36
even that much better
for us because the Word
00:01:30.36\00:01:33.13
of God says, eyes have not
seen, neither have ears heard
00:01:33.13\00:01:37.10
the things that God
has prepared for them
00:01:37.10\00:01:39.96
that love him.
00:01:39.96\00:01:41.03
Heaven is going to be
that much better than this, and
00:01:41.03\00:01:44.03
while I can come here and
vacation, I can come here and
00:01:44.03\00:01:47.46
swim and jet ski, we've come,
Breath of Life has, to preach
00:01:47.46\00:01:51.70
the Word of God.
00:01:51.70\00:01:53.43
That's right, we're here
for their camp meeting and we're
00:01:53.43\00:01:56.46
preaching that Jesus
Christ loves us and he
00:01:56.46\00:01:59.46
is soon to return.
00:01:59.46\00:02:01.23
May God bless you as you watch
as we minister to you to tell
00:02:01.23\00:02:05.83
a dying world that Jesus saves.
00:02:05.83\00:02:10.13
? [Music] ? ? (Theme Song) ?
00:02:10.13\00:02:16.23
? Jesus is worthy oh
yes, ? ? he's worthy ?
00:02:16.23\00:02:25.03
? worthy of all...
? ? all the praise. ?
00:02:25.03\00:02:30.83
PB: Jesus is on his way there.
00:02:30.83\00:02:33.53
He's in motion.
00:02:33.53\00:02:35.23
Lazarus, his friend, dies.
00:02:35.23\00:02:38.93
And when Jesus shows up,
Lazarus' sisters say, If you
00:02:38.93\00:02:45.50
had been here, our
brother wouldn't have died.
00:02:45.50\00:02:53.63
But they didn't
know, they missed something
00:02:53.63\00:02:56.60
we often miss.
00:02:56.60\00:02:58.83
If you had been here, Jesus,
I wouldn't have lost this.
00:02:58.83\00:03:03.20
If you had been here, Jesus,
this wouldn't have happened.
00:03:03.20\00:03:05.63
Ellen White said in "Desire
of Ages," when Christ heard the
00:03:05.63\00:03:08.20
message that Lazarus had
died, the disciples thought he
00:03:08.20\00:03:11.73
received it coldly.
00:03:11.73\00:03:15.30
But we miss something.
00:03:15.30\00:03:19.16
Remember, the Lord is sovereign.
00:03:19.16\00:03:22.50
Remember, when you're
sovereign, that means you can
00:03:22.50\00:03:26.10
do what you want, when you
want, where you want, how you
00:03:26.10\00:03:29.93
want, and you don't
have to ask permission to do
00:03:29.93\00:03:32.43
what you want.
00:03:32.43\00:03:34.00
The issue here is not so
much what God does, but how we
00:03:34.00\00:03:38.40
react to what God does,
because in God's permissive
00:03:38.40\00:03:43.53
will, he allows Lazarus to die.
00:03:43.53\00:03:49.96
There's a big difference
between God's expressed will
00:03:49.96\00:03:54.30
and God's permissive will.
00:03:54.30\00:03:56.26
I wish I had time.
00:03:56.26\00:03:57.80
Now, we don't talk
about this much in the church.
00:03:57.80\00:04:00.80
But what happens when God
says, "I know what you really
00:04:00.80\00:04:04.00
want to happen, but I
think I'm gonna let it
00:04:04.00\00:04:06.80
happen this way"?
00:04:06.80\00:04:09.66
I know you really want
this job, but I think I'm not
00:04:09.66\00:04:12.86
gonna let you have it.
00:04:12.86\00:04:14.80
I know you really wanted that
house, but I'm thinking you're
00:04:14.80\00:04:18.30
not going to have that house.
00:04:18.30\00:04:19.93
How do you do this for that?
00:04:19.93\00:04:21.86
How do you proclaim
victory when God says no?
00:04:21.86\00:04:30.06
I have to take my k-n-o-w,
know, and it's able to give me
00:04:30.06\00:04:45.53
a perspective on God's n-o, no.
00:04:45.53\00:04:52.66
God let Lazarus die.
00:04:52.66\00:04:54.66
Sometimes God
will let things die.
00:04:54.66\00:04:59.10
God, but you love
me, but you let this die.
00:04:59.10\00:05:02.06
You let that die.
00:05:02.06\00:05:03.10
But there was a
spiritual revolution that Jesus
00:05:03.10\00:05:05.76
was trying to give.
00:05:05.76\00:05:06.70
They were missing it.
00:05:06.70\00:05:07.56
Look at verse 11: "These
things said he: and after that
00:05:07.56\00:05:11.13
he saith unto them, Our friend
Lazarus sleepeth; but I go,
00:05:11.13\00:05:15.43
that I may awake him out
of sleep." His disciples said
00:05:15.43\00:05:19.06
unto him, But Jesus, if
he sleeps he's all right.
00:05:19.06\00:05:24.03
If he sleeps he's okay.
00:05:24.03\00:05:26.80
But Jesus said he was
speaking of his death.
00:05:26.80\00:05:30.36
But they thought he
had taken rest in sleep.
00:05:30.36\00:05:35.50
In other words, in verse
13, the disciples are on FM.
00:05:35.50\00:05:43.26
Jesus is on AM.
00:05:43.26\00:05:45.13
They're seeing this
thing in the physical.
00:05:45.13\00:05:48.13
Jesus is seeing
it in the spiritual.
00:05:48.13\00:05:50.76
They're seeing it in
the natural, but Jesus is
00:05:50.76\00:05:53.66
speaking in the supernatural.
00:05:53.66\00:05:54.70
So verse 14, Jesus says
plainly, "Lazarus is dead."
00:05:54.70\00:06:00.16
Now, watch this.
00:06:00.16\00:06:01.76
Listen to me carefully.
00:06:01.76\00:06:03.96
Anyone who is in an eternal
relationship with God does not
00:06:03.96\00:06:09.13
experience eternal death.
00:06:09.13\00:06:12.96
You follow me
now, listen to me good.
00:06:12.96\00:06:16.83
Anyone who is in an eternal
relationship with God does not
00:06:16.83\00:06:21.66
experience eternal death.
00:06:21.66\00:06:26.40
Your God-fearing loved ones,
they are not in heaven, those
00:06:26.40\00:06:30.90
who have died in the Lord.
00:06:30.90\00:06:33.00
They are not in
heaven right now.
00:06:33.00\00:06:36.43
Your God-fearing loved
ones who have passed on
00:06:36.43\00:06:40.13
are just asleep.
00:06:40.13\00:06:42.93
Brethren, I would not have
you to be ignorant concerning
00:06:42.93\00:06:47.53
them which are asleep.
00:06:47.53\00:06:50.00
Now, let's expand our minds.
00:06:50.00\00:06:51.90
If your God-fearing
loved one was already in heaven
00:06:51.90\00:06:56.10
at the time of their
death, then that would make
00:06:56.10\00:07:00.43
I Thessalonians
4:16-17 out to be a lie.
00:07:00.43\00:07:03.70
The Bible says, "For the
Lord himself shall descend from
00:07:03.70\00:07:08.70
heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel and the
00:07:08.70\00:07:12.06
trump of God, and at that time
the dead in Christ shall rise
00:07:12.06\00:07:16.00
first." If your loved one
who died in the Lord was already
00:07:16.00\00:07:20.93
in heaven, who would
Jesus be coming back for
00:07:20.93\00:07:24.03
at his second coming?
00:07:24.03\00:07:31.63
The wages of sin is death.
00:07:31.63\00:07:37.63
But the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus
00:07:37.63\00:07:43.00
Christ our Lord.
00:07:43.00\00:07:44.73
So then when I'm in a
true relationship with Jesus,
00:07:44.73\00:07:48.93
though my situation may
look dead on the surface, to the
00:07:48.93\00:07:52.93
natural eye, spiritually it's
sleep and it's just a matter
00:07:52.93\00:07:58.03
of time before God
resurrects that thing.
00:07:58.03\00:08:01.33
So no matter what looks dead
in my life, it's just a matter
00:08:01.33\00:08:04.63
of time before God gets
ready for it to come back.
00:08:04.63\00:08:10.40
That's why when things start
happening in your life that
00:08:10.40\00:08:12.90
you can't explain and you
don't understand, it's not
00:08:12.90\00:08:15.20
time to start
getting mad at God.
00:08:15.20\00:08:17.66
It's time to give God glory,
because you ought to know God
00:08:17.66\00:08:20.56
is up to something.
00:08:20.56\00:08:21.90
You see, if God permitted
that thing to happen, a child of
00:08:21.90\00:08:25.63
God has to be so hooked up
with God that they understand
00:08:25.63\00:08:29.83
that if God let this happen,
God must know something, he
00:08:29.83\00:08:33.46
must know something
greater in store for my life.
00:08:33.46\00:08:37.03
If God let this thing
die, there must be a reason.
00:08:37.03\00:08:40.26
He's getting ready to
move me to something better.
00:08:40.26\00:08:43.06
I wish I had a
witness in this place?
00:08:43.06\00:08:45.10
If God permits this thing,
because all things we know,
00:08:45.10\00:08:47.43
k-n-o-w, that all things
work together for God to whoever
00:08:47.43\00:08:50.93
love the Lord and have
been called according to his
00:08:50.93\00:08:53.00
purpose, I've got to get to
a point in my life that I learn
00:08:53.00\00:08:55.06
how to thank God
for his sovereignty.
00:08:55.06\00:08:57.10
Lord, whatever you do,
I'll still bless your name.
00:08:57.10\00:09:01.00
Lord, whatever you don't
do, I'll bless your name.
00:09:01.00\00:09:05.13
If you bring me out, hallelujah.
00:09:05.13\00:09:08.46
If you choose not to
bring me out, hallelujah.
00:09:08.46\00:09:11.50
If you keep me in, hallelujah.
00:09:11.50\00:09:13.10
If you let me
come out, hallelujah.
00:09:13.10\00:09:14.36
If you heal me, hallelujah.
00:09:14.36\00:09:15.83
And if you don't, hallelujah.
00:09:15.83\00:09:19.46
Because I know some way,
somehow, it's going to work
00:09:19.46\00:09:26.00
out for my good.
00:09:26.00\00:09:28.00
God has to allow us to
go through certain things to
00:09:28.00\00:09:31.93
bring validity to our testimony.
00:09:31.93\00:09:34.60
Our testimonies are shallow;
they have no validity unless
00:09:34.60\00:09:38.63
you've been through some stuff.
00:09:38.63\00:09:41.06
Don't tell me how to get
off this and get off that and
00:09:41.06\00:09:43.56
you've never had to
deal with it in your life.
00:09:43.56\00:09:46.16
Don't tell me it's easy to be
single and celibate and you've
00:09:46.16\00:09:49.10
got a husband or wife that
you go home to every night.
00:09:49.10\00:09:52.10
Don't tell me it's easy to
get off cigarettes and you've
00:09:52.10\00:09:55.70
never smoked a
cigarette in your life.
00:09:55.70\00:09:58.60
But if you've been lied
on, cheated on, and you've gone
00:09:58.60\00:10:02.06
through addiction issues
and struggles and strongholds in
00:10:02.06\00:10:05.16
your life, you have a true
testimony, because you can't
00:10:05.16\00:10:09.76
have a testimony without a test.
00:10:09.76\00:10:12.20
Because God says, the reason
why I didn't do it that time,
00:10:12.20\00:10:16.10
because I wanted to know
if you would praise me when I
00:10:16.10\00:10:19.36
said no.
00:10:19.36\00:10:23.10
See, our problem, many of us,
myself included, we have what
00:10:23.10\00:10:26.90
we call a "yes" praise.
00:10:26.90\00:10:31.03
We have what I
call y-e-s praise.
00:10:31.03\00:10:34.53
For God says, if you would
just learn how to praise me,
00:10:34.53\00:10:37.90
when I say no, that by the
time you get through praising
00:10:37.90\00:10:43.06
me, that no will be a yes.
00:10:43.06\00:10:46.93
Let's be real tonight.
00:10:46.93\00:10:48.63
How would you know if he was
a healer if you've never been
00:10:48.63\00:10:52.33
sick?
00:10:52.33\00:10:53.30
How would you know he was a
lawyer if you've never had a
00:10:53.30\00:10:55.86
case?
00:10:55.86\00:10:56.90
How would you know that he was
a rent payer if you never had
00:10:56.90\00:10:59.66
rent to pay?
00:10:59.66\00:11:00.50
How would you know that
he would come through and pay
00:11:00.50\00:11:03.20
your tuition on the last
day of registration had you not
00:11:03.20\00:11:05.83
been there?
00:11:05.83\00:11:06.70
How would you know that he
can give you food on your table,
00:11:06.70\00:11:09.56
clothing on your back, if you
hadn't tried him for yourself?
00:11:09.56\00:11:13.93
That's why verse 4 says, "This
sickness is not unto death,
00:11:13.93\00:11:20.86
but for the glory of God,
that the Son of God might be
00:11:20.86\00:11:25.63
glorified thereby." You better
understand, friends of mine, I
00:11:25.63\00:11:30.96
don't know who I'm speaking
to in the name of Jesus, you
00:11:30.96\00:11:34.40
better understand that
what you're going through is not
00:11:34.40\00:11:37.53
unto death, but it is that
God might be glorified, because
00:11:37.53\00:11:41.60
when you come out you're
going to give God some glory.
00:11:41.60\00:11:47.43
There's one thing you need to
see, and I've got to learn how
00:11:47.43\00:11:50.33
to respond to God's sovereignty.
00:11:50.33\00:11:52.76
I've got to learn that when I
go, when you go to the car lot
00:11:52.76\00:11:55.80
and say, I want that car, and
God says no, I can still leave
00:11:55.80\00:12:01.76
there shouting
hallelujah, thank you, Jesus.
00:12:01.76\00:12:04.83
You're all not hearing me.
00:12:04.83\00:12:06.06
Some of us, we've got to learn.
00:12:06.06\00:12:08.00
When you're engaged and then
the person you're engaged to
00:12:08.00\00:12:11.26
says, "I can't marry you,"
you've got to learn how to say
00:12:11.26\00:12:15.70
hallelujah, thank you, Jesus.
00:12:15.70\00:12:16.86
Praise the Lord.
00:12:16.86\00:12:18.33
The wedding's off, hallelujah.
00:12:18.33\00:12:19.70
It must, hallelujah, it must
be a reason, thank you, Jesus.
00:12:19.70\00:12:23.26
You all hear what I'm saying?
00:12:23.26\00:12:25.06
Somebody, you all broke down
and sad because somebody said
00:12:25.06\00:12:28.13
no.
00:12:28.13\00:12:29.16
But you better realize that
no could have been a blessing.
00:12:29.16\00:12:31.76
Some of you all sitting up
in here wish you had said no.
00:12:31.76\00:12:37.63
[applause] Hey!
00:12:37.63\00:12:42.53
Don't you know, there are
some blessings in some no's.
00:12:42.53\00:12:49.06
Preach, Pastor Byrd!
00:12:49.06\00:12:55.63
I'm doing the best I can.
00:12:55.63\00:12:56.56
One more thing.
00:12:56.56\00:13:02.26
Last, we see this.
00:13:02.26\00:13:07.30
If you're going to be
resurrected, resurrection
00:13:07.30\00:13:12.83
occurs only through the Savior.
00:13:12.83\00:13:15.90
If you're going to be
resurrected, only Jesus
00:13:15.90\00:13:18.83
can do that.
00:13:18.83\00:13:21.20
There are some things in this
life that only Jesus can do.
00:13:21.20\00:13:25.80
I can't do it, your preacher
can't do it, your mommy, your
00:13:25.80\00:13:29.03
daddy can't do it,
government can't do it.
00:13:29.03\00:13:31.30
There are some things
that only Jesus can do.
00:13:31.30\00:13:34.20
Lazarus was placed in a
tomb, a cold, dark place where
00:13:34.20\00:13:40.53
nobody visits.
00:13:40.53\00:13:41.90
No prospects, no
possibilities, the phone
00:13:41.90\00:13:45.60
doesn't ring, no e-mail.
00:13:45.60\00:13:47.06
And then the Bible says
a stone was rolled over,
00:13:47.06\00:13:51.06
separating that which
outside the tomb from that
00:13:51.06\00:13:54.60
which was inside the tomb.
00:13:54.60\00:13:55.93
Today that's where somebody is.
00:13:55.93\00:13:59.30
They've said it's hopeless.
00:13:59.30\00:14:00.46
No possibilities, no
chance of you ever coming back.
00:14:00.46\00:14:04.66
I don't know why
you're trying to get that;
00:14:04.66\00:14:09.10
it's over for you.
00:14:09.10\00:14:10.73
I don't care who you are.
00:14:10.73\00:14:12.73
The Holy Ghost has your address.
00:14:12.73\00:14:14.70
But yet you're
in this cold place.
00:14:14.70\00:14:17.43
Can't hear anything.
00:14:17.43\00:14:19.30
Can't see anything.
00:14:19.30\00:14:21.20
By yourself.
00:14:21.20\00:14:22.86
And although there are people
in your face smiling at you,
00:14:22.86\00:14:26.16
shaking your hand, hugging
you, you're all by yourself.
00:14:26.16\00:14:30.23
And the tragedy, friends
of mine, of Lazarus' situation
00:14:30.23\00:14:33.60
was that his own sisters, his
own sisters, when Jesus showed
00:14:33.60\00:14:39.70
up, they said, Jesus, Jesus!
00:14:39.70\00:14:44.00
He's been dead four days.
00:14:44.00\00:14:49.90
He stinks.
00:14:49.90\00:14:53.00
Hebrew law said that after
four days decomposition sets
00:14:53.00\00:14:57.76
in and there is no
chance of resurrection now.
00:14:57.76\00:15:04.53
He's dead, he stinks, he's old.
00:15:04.53\00:15:08.26
His own sisters named him stink.
00:15:08.26\00:15:16.50
They let his
condition define him.
00:15:16.50\00:15:21.70
They said because he's in
this situation we have no other
00:15:21.70\00:15:24.86
choice but to label him stink.
00:15:24.86\00:15:29.96
Now, it's not Lazarus'
fault that he's in the tomb, but
00:15:29.96\00:15:34.60
they name him stink.
00:15:34.60\00:15:37.40
Everybody who's in the
tomb, it's not their fault,
00:15:37.40\00:15:44.50
but sometimes the
closest people to you will start
00:15:44.50\00:15:46.70
naming you stink.
00:15:46.70\00:15:49.63
Isn't it amazing how
people will start naming you.
00:15:49.63\00:15:54.86
Look at you,
you're a good person.
00:15:54.86\00:15:57.13
Know who you are.
00:15:57.13\00:15:58.40
You may not want to be in that
situation, but you're there,
00:15:58.40\00:16:00.63
and people start looking
at you, saying, look at you.
00:16:00.63\00:16:04.23
Shame on you.
00:16:04.23\00:16:06.13
You just stink, you're
just this, you're just that.
00:16:06.13\00:16:09.56
But Jesus says, show me
where you have laid him.
00:16:09.56\00:16:15.00
And I'm glad to know tonight
that when everybody else gives
00:16:15.00\00:16:19.30
up on me, Jesus will
come and see about me.
00:16:19.30\00:16:23.90
I wish I had a
witness in this place?
00:16:23.90\00:16:26.03
Jesus cares so much
for me that Jesus will make
00:16:26.03\00:16:30.10
a cemetery visit.
00:16:30.10\00:16:32.56
He'll show up in a cemetery,
and that's where a whole lot
00:16:32.56\00:16:35.73
of folk are right now.
00:16:35.73\00:16:37.60
Dead in sin.
00:16:37.60\00:16:40.10
You're around dead folk.
00:16:40.10\00:16:42.30
I knowome of you have
forgotten, but if you would
00:16:42.30\00:16:44.70
just be a witness in here and
tell how the Lord came and got
00:16:44.70\00:16:47.63
you out of the cemetery, how
God took your feet out of the
00:16:47.63\00:16:50.36
miry clay and placed your feet
on solid ground, and say how
00:16:50.36\00:16:53.40
the Lord turned your
life around-once you were
00:16:53.40\00:16:57.13
lost but now you're found.
00:16:57.13\00:16:59.03
How the Lord opened up
your eyes, eyes that were
00:16:59.03\00:17:00.96
blind but now see.
00:17:00.96\00:17:02.10
Jesus said, "Take ye
away the stone." The stone
00:17:02.10\00:17:06.93
represents a barrier.
00:17:06.93\00:17:09.83
It's not that Jesus couldn't
bring Lazarus through the
00:17:09.83\00:17:13.33
stone, but Jesus made them
move the stone, to let us know
00:17:13.33\00:17:20.66
that when you do what
you can do, then God will do
00:17:20.66\00:17:23.16
what you can't do.
00:17:23.16\00:17:24.60
You see, your stone
may be changing addresses.
00:17:24.60\00:17:29.16
While you're talking
about, Lord, get me out of this
00:17:29.16\00:17:31.53
situation, God may be
saying, but what are you doing?
00:17:31.53\00:17:35.00
If you'd just move the stone.
00:17:35.00\00:17:37.70
Lord, help me to
find a job, I need a job.
00:17:37.70\00:17:40.23
Well, why don't you move
the stone of laziness and
00:17:40.23\00:17:43.40
self-pity, get dressed,
fill out an application,
00:17:43.40\00:17:48.80
get your resume together
and go for an interview?
00:17:48.80\00:17:52.50
But why don't, Lord,
help me pass this test.
00:17:52.50\00:17:56.86
But why don't you move
the stone of lying in the bed
00:17:56.86\00:17:59.50
rather than studying?
00:17:59.50\00:18:01.30
Why don't you go move the stone?
00:18:01.30\00:18:04.10
And when you move the
stone, the miracle will come.
00:18:04.10\00:18:07.00
Lord, bless me financially,
I'm strapped financially.
00:18:07.00\00:18:09.93
But you need to move the stone
of disobedience, and return
00:18:09.93\00:18:13.80
your tithe and offerings,
and then the miracle will come.
00:18:13.80\00:18:18.03
You all hear what I'm saying?
00:18:18.03\00:18:19.63
But look at what Jesus did.
00:18:19.63\00:18:23.20
The same people-follow
me carefully-that rolled the
00:18:23.20\00:18:28.16
stone over Lazarus were
the same people instructed
00:18:28.16\00:18:36.23
to take the stone away.
00:18:36.23\00:18:41.50
Isn't it amazing
what God will do?
00:18:41.50\00:18:44.50
The same folk who buried you,
the same folk who called you
00:18:44.50\00:18:51.93
stink, God will make
them the same folk who will
00:18:51.93\00:19:00.46
make a way for you.
00:19:00.46\00:19:04.26
Be not deceived.
00:19:04.26\00:19:07.20
God is not mocked.
00:19:07.20\00:19:09.43
Whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap?
00:19:09.43\00:19:15.56
You all hear what I'm saying?
00:19:15.56\00:19:16.50
So Jesus said, "Lazarus, come
forth." His sisters called him
00:19:16.50\00:19:21.60
stink, his sisters
called him old, his sisters
00:19:21.60\00:19:26.46
called him dead.
00:19:26.46\00:19:27.96
But Jesus called him by name.
00:19:27.96\00:19:31.33
It doesn't make a
difference what folk have been
00:19:31.33\00:19:34.46
calling you.
00:19:34.46\00:19:35.40
It doesn't make a
difference what you say I am.
00:19:35.40\00:19:38.30
I'm not listening to you anyhow.
00:19:38.30\00:19:41.23
I'm glad Jesus calls me by name.
00:19:41.23\00:19:46.10
Somebody,
hallelujah, is calling my name.
00:19:46.10\00:19:50.66
The Lord, think about it,
y'all, the Lord has so much
00:19:50.66\00:19:55.80
power that he had to
be specific that day.
00:19:55.80\00:19:59.33
Because of Jesus had just
said, "Get up," everybody in
00:19:59.33\00:20:05.00
the cemetery
would have gotten up.
00:20:05.00\00:20:08.76
So he had to be specific,
by calling Lazarus by name.
00:20:08.76\00:20:14.66
He's only calling
the names of folk who are
00:20:14.66\00:20:17.80
in relationship with him.
00:20:17.80\00:20:19.43
That's why God will look over
some folk, not you, not you,
00:20:19.43\00:20:24.56
not you, but you come here.
00:20:24.56\00:20:28.53
God will look over
some folk in your office.
00:20:28.53\00:20:32.53
Not you, not you, but you.
00:20:32.53\00:20:36.00
Lazarus came out.
00:20:36.00\00:20:37.96
Church, I want to
show you something.
00:20:37.96\00:20:42.83
When Lazarus came out, he
came out, and I want you to
00:20:42.83\00:20:51.43
see this in your mind's eye.
00:20:51.43\00:20:54.86
I want you to see
how Lazarus came out.
00:20:54.86\00:21:00.23
He came out looking like this.
00:21:00.23\00:21:02.53
They mummified him,
they wrapped him up.
00:21:02.53\00:21:07.76
This is what I
want you to see tonight.
00:21:07.76\00:21:10.63
When Lazarus came out,
Lazarus had on grave clothes.
00:21:10.63\00:21:15.53
The stuff that reminds me of me.
00:21:15.53\00:21:19.40
When Lazarus came out,
Lazarus was still bound.
00:21:19.40\00:21:23.76
I'm delivered, but I
still have some of that old
00:21:23.76\00:21:27.80
stuff on me.
00:21:27.80\00:21:28.83
That's where
somebody is tonight.
00:21:28.83\00:21:30.96
You're out of the
situation but you still have
00:21:30.96\00:21:34.00
that old stuff on you.
00:21:34.00\00:21:35.63
You're not
hearing what I'm saying.
00:21:35.63\00:21:38.06
But Jesus said, "Loose him."
00:21:38.06\00:21:39.93
Let him go.
00:21:39.93\00:21:41.10
And so what I thank God for
is that every now and then God
00:21:41.10\00:21:44.96
starts unwrapping me.
00:21:44.96\00:21:47.73
He starts unwrapping me.
00:21:47.73\00:21:50.13
It's a process that every
now and then God unwraps me.
00:21:50.13\00:21:54.90
Is there anybody
today who knows that God has
00:21:54.90\00:21:57.06
unwrapped you?
00:21:57.06\00:21:57.76
He takes off the guilt.
00:21:57.76\00:21:59.13
He's unwrapping me.
00:21:59.13\00:22:01.43
He takes off the pride.
00:22:01.43\00:22:04.06
He's unwrapping me.
00:22:04.06\00:22:04.96
He takes out the doubt.
00:22:04.96\00:22:06.56
He's unwrapping me.
00:22:06.56\00:22:08.26
He takes off the lust.
00:22:08.26\00:22:12.06
He's unwrapping me.
00:22:12.06\00:22:13.36
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:22:13.36\00:22:17.26
So I'm here to tell
the devil, devil, I'm back.
00:22:17.26\00:22:25.53
Put your hands
together, give God some praise.
00:22:25.53\00:22:28.23
I was wrapped up in
sin, I was wrapped up in
00:22:28.23\00:22:32.40
my own self, but now
I'm wrapped up, tied up,
00:22:32.40\00:22:37.63
tangled up in Jesus.
00:22:37.63\00:22:40.63
He's all I need.
00:22:40.63\00:22:46.93
Amazing grace, how
sweet the sound, that saved
00:22:46.93\00:22:51.43
a wretch like me.
00:22:51.43\00:22:54.16
I once was lost
but now I'm found.
00:22:54.16\00:22:58.23
Was blind, I said, I
was blind, but now I see.
00:22:58.23\00:23:05.33
Put your hands together
and give God some praise
00:23:05.33\00:23:07.30
all over the building.
00:23:07.30\00:23:12.33
They that wait upon the Lord,
God shall renew their strength.
00:23:12.33\00:23:17.06
They shall mount
upon wings as eagles.
00:23:17.06\00:23:19.96
They shall run and not
get weary, walk and not faint.
00:23:19.96\00:23:22.73
I'm back.
00:23:22.73\00:23:24.36
Wait on the Lord.
00:23:24.36\00:23:26.23
Be of good courage.
00:23:26.23\00:23:29.06
Jesus, strengthen thine heart.
00:23:29.06\00:23:31.46
I'm back.
00:23:31.46\00:23:33.00
The race is not given to the
swift or to the strong, but to
00:23:33.00\00:23:43.23
the one that
endures unto the end.
00:23:43.23\00:23:51.33
Devil, I'm back.
00:23:51.33\00:23:56.56
He thought he would kill
me 12 years ago, but I'm back.
00:23:56.56\00:24:06.26
You thought you were down
for the count in your life.
00:24:06.26\00:24:11.76
You thought that the
devil had knocked you down
00:24:11.76\00:24:14.40
and knocked you out.
00:24:14.40\00:24:15.73
He thought he
was through with you.
00:24:15.73\00:24:18.43
But you tell
devil, devil, I'm back.
00:24:18.43\00:24:21.43
That little boy or little girl
was not the way you wanted, it
00:24:21.43\00:24:32.53
was not the way God designed.
00:24:32.53\00:24:36.23
The devil thought he
was going to knock you out.
00:24:36.23\00:24:39.83
He even used church
folk to try to knock you out.
00:24:39.83\00:24:44.16
But tonight, say, I'm back.
00:24:44.16\00:24:54.00
There's someone, you've
wandered from this wonderful
00:24:54.00\00:24:58.40
church, the Seventh-day
Adventist Church, because you
00:24:58.40\00:25:01.46
got caught up in
arguing about methodology.
00:25:01.46\00:25:10.16
You got caught up arguing
about men, women, instead of
00:25:10.16\00:25:13.90
remembering the
mission and the message.
00:25:13.90\00:25:19.90
And you let
somebody run you out of here.
00:25:19.90\00:25:24.53
Tell the devil, I'm back.
00:25:24.53\00:25:31.10
There's a preacher out
there tonight, there's a church
00:25:31.10\00:25:33.83
elder out there tonight.
00:25:33.83\00:25:36.00
You've been serving
in ministry and feel that
00:25:36.00\00:25:38.46
you're underappreciated.
00:25:38.46\00:25:42.23
You're not loved, your
gifts are taken for granted.
