02:29 HAVE YOU EVER HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS LIKE IMPENDING DOOM ? 02:34 DO YOU KNOW YOUR PRAYER WILL GET REDUCED TO SIMPLE WORDS ? 02:39 YOU REMEMBER WHEN PETER WAS GOING DOWN IN THAT WATER ? 02:42 YOU FIND NOTHING IN THERE ABOUT "GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB." 02:47 "LORD, SAVE ME !" 02:52 SKINNY PRAYER. 02:56 BUT SOME OF THE FOLK WILL GIVE UP. 02:58 BUT SOME OF THE OTHER FOLK HOLD ON. 03:00 "MAYBE THE LORD CAN WORK SOMETHING OVERNIGHT." 03:02 NOW, LET ME TELL YOU WHY, IN FACT I'LL SHOW YOU WHY. 03:07 FIND DEUTERONOMY, SOME OF YOU WILL NEED A LITTLE TIME. 03:14 I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY SOMETIMES GOD WAITS UNTIL LATE TO ANSWER PRAYER. 03:24 THIS IS INTERESTING. 03:26 YOU KNOW GOD COULD ANSWER YOUR PRAYER EARLY. 03:29 WHY DOES GOD WAIT UNTIL YOU GET OUT OF A JOB TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE ? 03:40 WHY DOES GOD WAIT UNTIL THE CAR BREAKS DOWN TO GIVE YOU A NEW ONE ? 03:45 HE COULD GIVE YOU TWO WHILE THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING. 03:50 DEUTERONOMY 32 VERSE 36: 04:06 NOW I GOT TO TRANSLATE SOME OF THIS OUT OF KING JAMES VERSION 04:09 AND YOU OUGHT TO GO CHECK ON ME. 04:11 "THE LORD SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE AND HAVE COMPASSION ON THEM 04:16 WHEN HE SEES THAT THEIR POWER IS GONE AND THEY HAVE NO HELP, FREE OR SLAVE." 04:24 WHEN NOBODY CAN HELP YOU AND YOUR POWER IS GONE; 04:29 AT TIMES GOD WAITS UNTIL THEN SO THAT ONLY HE CAN GET THE CREDIT. 04:40 IT'S THERE, BECAUSE IF HE ANSWERED EARLY, YOU'D BE OUT TAKING CREDIT FOR IT. 04:46 "YOU KNOW, MY CAR WAS BREAKING DOWN, 04:49 BUT YOU KNOW I KNOW HOW TO MAKE A DEAL. 04:53 YOU KNOW ME, AND SO I JUST WENT ON DOWN -- THE MAN HAD A BIG 04:57 SIGN UP THERE TALKIN' ABOUT HOW MUCH HE'D TAKE OFF; 04:59 I TRADED IN MY OLD CAR AND GOT MORE THAN THAT ! 05:01 CAME OUT WITH THIS ONE, YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE DEAL I GOT !" 05:04 "WELL, LET ME SEE YOUR PAPERS." 05:06 "WELL, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO SHOW YOU THE PAPERS, BUT YOU KNOW, BUT I GOT A GREAT DEAL." 05:08 YOU'RE TAKIN' CREDIT FOR WHAT GOD DID ? 05:12 THE FACT IS, YOU WENT DOWN THERE AND GOD SMILED ON YOU. 05:17 YOUR CREDIT WAS NOT EVERYTHING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. 05:21 (laughter) 05:24 THERE ARE A FEW BLEMISHES HERE AND THERE, 05:27 A FEW FRECKLES, YOU KNOW, A FEW SLOW PAYMENTS. 05:32 BUT EVIDENTLY GOD MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WITH THE COMPUTER. 05:38 SENT AN ANGEL TO ERASE SOME OF THAT. 05:43 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU COME OUT WITH A NEW CAR. 05:45 BUT WHAT GOD DOES, AND OUGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE GETS THE CREDIT, 05:48 IS TO WAIT UNTIL ALL YOUR POWER IS GONE AND YOU HAVE NO HELP, 05:52 BOND OR FREE, THEN HE STEPS IN. 05:56 SO NOW, THE NIGHT BEFORE, PETER IS ASLEEP. 05:59 PEOPLE PRAYING, AND GOD DECIDES TO STEP IN. 06:03 FORGIVE ME FOR THIS IMAGINATION, BUT I LOVE IT. 06:07 WHAT MUST GOD HAVE TOLD THE ANGEL, 06:11 THE ANGEL THAT HE SENT TO GET PETER ? 06:17 "DON'T MAKE A SOUND. 06:24 GO IN, YOU CAN LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, BUT DON'T MAKE ANY NOISE. 06:32 AND WHEN YOU SET HIM FREE, LET THE CHAINS DROP BUT DON'T LET THEM TINKLE." 06:44 FORGIVE ME; I JUST GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF. 06:47 OR, ROMANS CHAPTER 11, CAN TELL YOU ANOTHER WAY HE COULD HAVE DONE IT, 06:53 GOD'S GOT A LOT OF WAYS TO DO WHAT HE DOES ! 06:56 ROMANS CHAPTER 11, VERSE 8: 07:10 SO, GOD CAN GIVE A SPIRIT OF SLUMBER, SO THAT YOUR EYES CAN'T SEE AND YOUR EARS CAN'T HEAR. 07:20 SO GOD MAY HAVE TOLD THE ANGEL, GO AND MAKE ALL THE NOISE YOU WANT, 07:25 BUT BEFORE YOU GO IN, GIVE THE GUARDS A SPIRIT OF SLUMBER SO 07:30 THAT EVEN THOSE AT THE GATES WILL NOT SEE OR HEAR. 07:34 AND THOSE WHO ARE CHAINED TO PETER WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE YOU COME OR HEAR YOU WHEN YOU MOVE. 07:41 THE ANGEL TOUCHES HIM, PETER WAKES UP; 07:45 CHECKS HIS ARMS -- FREE ! 07:49 BUT HE'S NOT SURE WHAT'S HAPPENING YET. 07:51 THE ANGEL SAYS, "GET UP !" 07:54 NOW SOME OF YOU WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN IN JAIL BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT OBEY GOD. 08:03 THERE ARE SOME FOLK WHO CLAIM TO LOVE JESUS 08:04 WHO WON'T DO WHAT GOD SAYS WITHOUT SOME LONG EXPLANATION. 08:10 SOME COME FROM THE WORD, "SEE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. 08:13 YOU GOT TO EXPLAIN THAT TO ME, I WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT APPLIES TO ME." 08:17 BY THE TIME YOU UNDERSTAND IT, IT'S GONE. 08:20 YOU GOT TO LEARN THAT WHEN GOD SPEAKS, THERE ARE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU OUGHT TO MOVE. 08:24 MOVE NOW ! 08:26 PETER DID NOT ARGUE. 08:29 PETER MUST HAVE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN THAT CAME WITH THE ANGEL; GOT UP, 08:33 FOLLOWED THE ANGEL, GOES THROUGH THE DOORS -- THE GUARDS CAN'T HEAR, THE GUARDS CAN'T SEE. 08:39 EITHER THEY ARE SILENT OR THEY'VE GOT THE SPIRIT OF SLUMBER. 08:43 HE'S OUTSIDE ON THE VERY TERRAIN, 08:47 THE VERY PATH THAT HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IN THE MORNING TO GO DIE. 08:52 HE'S WALKING IT TONIGHT FREE. 08:55 IF GOD BE FOR YOU, WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU ? 09:00 ANGEL SAID, "COME ON SON, LET'S GO. 09:02 YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE NOW ? 09:04 IN THE MORNING YOU WOULD HAVE COME RIGHT BY HERE. 09:07 IN THE MORNING THEY WOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOU RIGHT DOWN THIS PATH. 09:10 IN THE MORNING THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN, 09:12 THAT IS WHERE YOUR LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN. 09:15 BUT GOD SENT ME, SO GO ON TAKE IT. 09:18 CAN YOU HANDLE IT FROM HERE ?" 09:21 NOW PETER IS IN CHARGE OF HIS OWN SITUATION. 09:24 YOU KNOW SOME FOLK WANT GOD TO DO EVERYTHING. 09:29 "LORD, I WANT A JOB." 09:32 AND MONDAY MORNING AT 11:15 YOU WAKE UP. 09:37 (laughter) 09:44 THAT'S SOME SERIOUS STUFF. 09:45 YOU WANT A JOB, BUT YOU WANT IT TO BE DELIVERED TO YOUR HOUSE ? 09:48 I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK ? 09:49 THE EMPLOYEE GONNA COME RING YOUR BELL ? 09:52 "EXCUSE ME, I'M SORRY I WOKE YOU UP." 09:55 FOLK, YOU GOT TO OPERATE IN THERE SOMEWHERE, WHAT DO YOU SAY ? 10:00 SO NOW PETER OPERATES IN HIS OWN SALVATION AND HE GOES NOW TO FIND THE PEOPLE. 10:06 EVIDENTLY HE KNOWS THE HOUSE, IT IS THE MOTHER OF JOHN MARK. 10:11 AND HE GOES THERE AND KNOCKS ON THE DOOR. 10:13 I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT. 10:16 THE FOLK ARE PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE, THE MIRACLE COMES AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT. 10:25 PETER KNOCKIN' ON THE DOOR, RHODA COMES TO THE DOOR. 10:29 NOW INCIDENTALLY YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS YOUNG LADY IF SHE HAD BEEN AT A DANCE. 10:37 BOY I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. 10:40 IF THIS YOUNG LADY HAD BEEN OUT WITH HER BOYFRIEND IN THE WRONG PLACE, 10:45 AT THE WRONG TIME, SHE'D HAVE NEVER MADE THE BIBLE. 10:49 BUT SHE WAS AT PRAYER MEETING. 10:54 IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SOMEBODY, BE WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO BE. 10:59 GOD WILL TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT AWAY FROM WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU NEEDED TO BE 11:03 AND SHINE IT ON WHERE HE WANTS YOU TO BE 11:05 AND YOU'LL BE MORE THAN YOU COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED 11:08 IF YOU'LL JUST BE WHERE GOD WANTED YOU. 11:10 YOUNG LADY GOES TO THE DOOR AND SAYS, "WHO IS IT ?" 11:13 PETER'S ON THE OTHER SIDE, SHE HEARS HIS VOICE, 11:15 SHE'S HEARD HIM PREACH BEFORE, PROBABLY SHE'S HEARD HIM PRAY BEFORE. 11:18 SHE SAYS,"YEAH, IT'S HIM." 11:20 AND SHE GETS EXCITED. 11:21 NOW THIS IS OK WITH ME. 11:22 I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS YOUNG LADY. 11:24 YOU TALK ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH ALL YOU WANT TO 11:27 BUT THERE'S AN EXCITEMENT AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LOVE JESUS. 11:30 AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, I TRAVEL AROUND THIS WORLD, 11:33 AND YOU CAN KNOCK 'EM IF YOU WANT TO, 11:35 BUT THERE ARE SOME YOUNG PEOPLE, RIGHT NOW, WHO ARE GIVING THEIR 11:38 LIVES TO JESUS AND YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING MORE 11:41 EXCITING THAN WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE GET SERIOUS ABOUT JESUS. 11:45 THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS EXCITED ! 11:48 SHE RUNS BACK TO THE PRAYER MEETING, SHE SAYS, 11:52 "HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, STOP PRAYING A MINUTE, PETER IS AT THE DOOR !" 11:57 "OH LORD, THE YOUNG PEOPLE. 12:02 WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE ? 12:04 CHILD, DON'T DISTURB US, WE'RE PRAYING FOR PETER TO BE SET FREE." 12:09 "YEAH, BUT I CAME TO TELL YOU, HE'S AT THE DOOR !" 12:12 "AH, CHILD, YOU'RE MAD, YOUR MIND IS GONE, NO PLEASE ! 12:16 WHY ARE THE YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE THIS ? 12:18 LORD HELP THE YOUNG PEOPLE !" 12:20 THE YOUNG LADY TRYING TO TELL THEM, "YOUR PRAYER HAS BEEN ANSWERED !" 12:22 IF YOU ARE LIKE THAT, DON'T EVER PRAY FOR ME ! 12:29 I DON'T NEED YOUR PRAYERS. 12:31 WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM. 12:35 HE THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS 12:37 AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. 12:41 IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT GOD IS GOING TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYER, 12:43 THEN DON'T PRAY ! 12:44 DO SOMETHING ELSE, WATCH TELEVISION. 12:48 BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IT, YOU OUGHT TO GRASP IT BY FAITH 12:52 AND KNOW THAT GOD CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 12:55 SO PETER'S AT THE DOOR -- FINALLY SOMEBODY LETS HIM IN. 12:58 PRAISE THE LORD, THEY'VE LET HIM IN AND THEY'VE SEEN THE MIRACLE. 13:02 NOW, COME WITH ME TO THE MORNING. 13:08 WE'VE GOT HEROD AGRIPPA THE FIRST WHO'S CHOOSING HIS GARMENTS. 13:14 "WHAT SHOULD I WEAR ? 13:17 THIS IS GONNA BE A BIG DAY. 13:19 THERE'S ONE THAT HAS GOLD FLECK IN IT, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PARTIAL TO THAT ONE. 13:24 BRING IT AND PUT IT AGAINST ME. 13:27 WHAT DO YOU THINK ? 13:29 THAT DOES LOOK GOOD, DOESN'T IT ? 13:31 BRING ANOTHER, LET ME JUST LOOK. 13:33 BY THE WAY, HAS ANYONE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE LOGISTICS ARE MOVING ALONG ? 13:38 IS PETER ON THE WAY NOW ?" 13:41 "UH-UM, UH, HEROD, UH, YOUR HIGHNESS, THERE IS A SLIGHT TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY. 13:53 AND WE DON'T WANT TO DISTURB YOU, BUT THERE IS A REPORT 13:58 FROM THE PRISON, THAT THEY HAVE A UH, SLIGHT SITUATION THERE." 14:08 "SITUATION ?" 14:10 "UH, YOU REMEMBER THAT WE WERE GOING TO KILL PETER. 14:17 UH, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE POSSIBLE TODAY. 14:23 BECAUSE SOMEHOW, 14:28 UH, PETER IS GONE." 14:32 "WAIT A MINUTE," -- STICK WITH ME HERE -- 14:35 "WE HAD FOUR SOLDIERS ON ? 14:37 TWO WERE CHAINED TO HIM; TWO WERE ON THE DOOR; 14:41 THEY KNOW THAT IF THEY LET HIM GO I'LL KILL THEM IN HIS PLACE AND HE GOT OUT ?" 14:48 "HARD AS IT MAY SEEM TO BELIEVE, YES, HE'S GONE." 14:54 AND THIS MAN SHOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT GOD HAD PERFORMED A MIRACLE. 15:04 THERE ARE TIMES IN YOUR LIFE THAT ARE REALITY CHECKS 15:10 WHEN GOD DOES SOMETHING THAT IS INEXPLICABLE. 15:15 WAKE UP AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL ! 15:22 NOW, THIS MAN WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN A PROSELYTE TO JUDAISM, 15:27 WHO PROBABLY HAD SOMEBODY READ THE SCROLLS TO HIM, 15:30 HAD HEARD THAT THERE WOULD COME A SAVIOR, 15:32 SHOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE POWER OF THIS CHRIST 15:35 IS WHAT HAD DELIVERED PETER FROM PRISON. 15:38 BUT INSTEAD OF STOPPING TO EXAMINE HIMSELF, 15:41 HE GETS ANGRY AND KILLS FOUR SOLDIERS AND GOES INTO SOME RETREAT, 15:47 SOME HIATUS BECAUSE HE'S ANGRY. 15:50 THE JEWISH CHURCH WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO GO FAR 15:53 BECAUSE THERE WERE TRADE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THE NATION. 16:02 SO THEY DECIDED, LET'S KEEP THE DIALOGUE OPEN. 16:06 ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE NOW, DOESN'T IT ? 16:09 THERE'S A LITTLE AGREEMENT THAT'S HAPPENING NOW WITH A CERTAIN COUNTRY 16:14 AND WE HAVE NOW SEPARATED MATTERS OF CONSEQUENCE FROM MATTERS OF TRADE. 16:20 AND SO THEY SAY LET'S PUT THAT MATTER ASIDE, IT'S A SMALL THING. 16:23 THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCENSED OVER THE FACT THAT THIS MAN, 16:27 PETER, WAS GOING TO BE KILLED ANYWAY. 16:29 BUT THEY WERE GOING ALONG WITH THAT. 16:31 THEY SAID, "LET'S JUST KEEP THE COMMERCE FLOWING, LET'S KEEP THE DOLLARS MOVING." 16:36 AND SO THEY WANT TO KEEP THE DIALOGUE GOING WITH HEROD AGRIPPA. 16:38 AND SO SOMEBODY SUGGESTS TO HIM, "WHY DON'T WE CALL THE PEOPLE TOGETHER ? 16:43 LET'S HAVE A TRADE CONFERENCE. 16:46 LET'S TALK ABOUT TRADE, FOREIGN TRADE. 16:49 LET'S TALK ABOUT COMMERCE." 16:52 AND SO THEY SAY, "BUT, HE'S IN A BAD MOOD." 16:54 "WELL, TELL HIM TO GET IN A GOOD MOOD. 16:56 WE'RE TALKING MONEY. 16:58 DOLLARS ARE TO BE MADE. 16:59 TELL HIM THAT WE HAVE A SPARKLING MOMENT AHEAD 17:03 OF US, WE HAVE A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY." 17:05 AND SO, SOMEONE GOES AND CONVINCES HEROD AGRIPPA, 17:08 PUT ON YOUR ROBE THAT HAS SILVER CLOTH. 17:13 THIS THE HISTORIANS ARE FAIRLY SURE ABOUT. 17:16 AND TELL HEROD WHEN HE COMES, COULD HE FIND IT IN HIS HEART 17:19 TO MAKE ONE OF THOSE SPEECHES ? 17:22 HEROD AGRIPPA THE FIRST WAS NOT ONLY A MAN WITH 17:25 STRANGE PREDILECTIONS WHEN IT CAME TO HIS CHARACTER, 17:30 BUT HE WAS QUITE A SPEAKER. 17:33 SOME SUGGESTED THAT HE HAD TALENTS AND ABILITIES THAT WERE BEYOND HUMAN KIND. 17:40 AND SO THEY MADE A REQUEST, 17:42 "TELL HIM IF HE PUTS ON THAT GARMENT, ASK HIM TO STAND AND MAKE A SPEECH." 17:48 SO HEROD COMES BEAUTIFULLY DRESSED. 17:54 HE COMES IN SAULTORIAL SPLENDOR. 17:57 AND WHEN HE STEPS INTO THE SUNLIGHT, 18:00 THE SUN CATCHES THE SILVER OF HIS ROBE AND IT GLISTENS ACROSS THE ROOM. 18:07 AND FINALLY HE STANDS AND BEGINS AN ORATION. 18:12 AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT ORATION, SOMETHING HAPPENS. 18:17 THERE A MAN, WHO SHOULD HAVE REPENTED 18:21 BUT INSTEAD SHOWS PRIDE AND ARROGANCE, 18:25 HAS A VISIT FROM AN ANGEL. 18:31 ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS SAYS IT WAS THE SAME ANGEL 18:36 WHO OPENED THE PRISON FOR PETER, WHO CAME NOW TO TOUCH 18:43 WITH THE TOUCH OF DEATH AN ARROGANT LEADER WHO WOULD NOT TURN FROM HIS WICKED WAYS. 18:51 AND SO THIS MAN'S BODY CRUMBLED UNDERNEATH THE SILVER GARMENT, 18:58 AND WORMS BEGAN TO CONSUME HIM BEFORE HE DIED. 19:03 HIS BODY BEGAN TO PUTREFY BEFORE THE EYES OF THE ADORING PUBLIC. 19:11 AND HE PERISHED GETTING FROM THE SAME ANGEL I WOULD SUGGEST, 19:18 THE SAME ANGEL WHO SET ONE MAN FREE, BRINGS DEATH TO ANOTHER. 19:24 YOU MUST BE SURE THAT GOD CAN MAKE SPECIAL DELIVERIES. 19:33 THE QUESTION IS THIS, "WHAT WILL YOUR ANGEL BRING ?" 19:40 IF YOU CALL, HE WILL ANSWER. 19:44 IN FACT ISAIAH, CHAPTER 65, TURN THERE. 19:48 LET IT BE THE LAST TEXT THAT WE READ, BUT LET IT BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD WELL. 19:54 VERSE 24: 20:08 GOD SAYS I AM NOT LAZY. 20:10 I AM NOT TARDY. 20:12 SOME PEOPLE SAY GOD MAY NOT COME WHEN YOU WANT HIM, 20:15 BUT SOMEONE ADDS, "HE ALWAYS COMES ON TIME." 20:20 GOD'S TIME SCHEDULE IS PERFECT. 20:23 IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT OUR EXPECTATION LEVEL IS IMPAIRED, 20:28 SO WE DON'T KNOW WHEN GOD OUGHT TO SHOW UP. 20:31 BUT GOD SHOWS UP ON TIME EVERY TIME. 20:35 THE FACT IS THAT IF GOD IS FOR YA, NOBODY CAN STAND AGAINST 'YA. 20:40 BUT IF YOU ARE DARING ENOUGH TO STAND AGAINST GOD, 20:46 YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS NOT TO BE TOYED WITH. 20:50 AND THE SAME GOD SAYS, "BEFORE YOU CALL, WHO SAYS BEFORE YOU CALL, I'LL ANSWER. 20:55 AND WHILE YOU ARE YET PRAYING I'LL BE THERE." 20:57 THAT SAME GOD HAS YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE DOES 21:01 NOT COUNTENANCE THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO STAND AGAINST HIM, 21:05 AND AGAINST HIM, AND AGAINST HIM. 21:08 WE MUST NOT MISUNDERSTAND HIS MERCY FOR IGNORANCE OR WEAKNESS. 21:14 BE NOT DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED. 21:18 WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP. 21:23 TONIGHT OUR COUNSEL FROM THIS WORD IS CLEAR. 21:27 YOU GET IN TROUBLE WITH GOD ON YOUR SIDE; 21:30 LET 'EM LOCK YOU UP. 21:33 IN FACT, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE INCARCERATED TONIGHT. 21:37 LET ME SAY TO YOU, LET ME SAY TO YOU BROTHER, AND I SAY THAT INTENTIONALLY 21:40 BECAUSE I KNOW THE CONFIGURATION OF THOSE WHO ARE INCARCERATED. 21:45 YOU MAY HAVE BEEN PUT DOWN BY EVERYBODY BECAUSE YOU HAPPEN TO BE BEHIND BARS. 21:51 BUT UNDERSTAND THAT GOD DOES NOT LOOK AT YOU LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES. 21:55 PEOPLE MAY NOT SEE THE GOOD IN YOU BUT GOD CAN LOOK BEYOND 21:58 YOUR SITUATION AND WHEN GOD GETS READY HE CAN DELIVER YA, 22:02 IF YOU CALL ON HIM, IF YOU TRUST IN HIM ! 22:05 IF GOD BE FOR YA, NOBODY CAN BE AGAINST YA. 22:08 GOD CAN DO MORE FOR YOU BEHIND BARS THAN ANYBODY ELSE CAN DO AFTER YOU GET OUT. 22:14 YOU MUST NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE CONTROLLED BY YOUR SITUATION. 22:18 YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD CHANGES THINGS. 22:22 THERE MAY SOMEBODY TRAPPED IN DEBT AT THIS VERY MOMENT, 22:26 THINKING YOU CAN'T GET OUT. 22:27 YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD OWNS EVERYTHING. 22:31 AND IF YOU CALL ON HIM, IF YOU'RE FAITHFUL TO HIM, 22:33 IF GOD BE FOR YA, WHO CAN STAND AGAINST YA ? 22:37 WE MUST LEARN THAT THERE IS A POWER THAT TRANSCENDS HUMAN POWER. 22:41 AND WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID NO -- I KNOW THE COMMERCIALS SAY THAT. 22:45 "WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE HAS TURNED YOU DOWN, COME TO US." 22:48 WELL, I'LL TELL YOU THIS, EVEN WHEN THE LAST COMPANY SAYS NO, 22:54 THERE IS A GOD WHO SAYS "YES". 22:57 AND SO YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU CALL HIM 23:00 FROM A CONTRITE HEART, GOD WILL ANSWER. 23:04 BUT IF IN PRIDE YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN COVER OVER WITH YOUR 23:07 TALENT, OR WITH YOUR CLOTHING, OR WITH YOUR POSSESSIONS, 23:13 GOD NOT ONLY DELIVERS ANSWERS, GOD DELIVERS JUSTICE. 23:18 THERE MAY BE SOME FAMILY MEMBER LOCKED IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING ALONE, THINKING NOBODY CARES. 23:34 WHAT I WANT TO ASSURE YOU OF IN THIS MOMENT IS THAT GOD MAKES SPECIAL DELIVERIES. 23:43 YOU MAY FEEL LOCKED IN OR LOCKED AWAY. 23:47 YOU MAY FEEL TRAPPED IN SOME SITUATION AND NOBODY CARES, 23:52 BUT IN THE HEART OF GOD YOU HAVE A PLACE. 23:56 YOUR NAME IS GRAVEN IN HIS PALMS, 24:00 AND BEFORE A MOTHER WOULD FORGET HER CHILD THAT'S STILL NURSING, 24:04 GOD WOULD NEVER, NEVER FORGET YOU. 24:08 SO, YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! 24:11 THERE MAY BE SOME SINGLE PARENT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE ENDS MEET 24:16 AND YOU THINK EVERYBODY LOOKS DOWN ON YOU AND NOBODY CARES. 24:20 BUT JESUS MAKES SPECIAL DELIVERIES. 24:24 YOU MAY FEEL TRAPPED IN OR LOCKED OUT, BUT HE OPENS DOORS ! 24:31 THERE MAY BE ENEMIES THAT SURROUND YOU WHO KEEP YOU 24:33 FROM REACHING YOUR GOALS OR DOING WHAT YOU WOULD DO, 24:37 BUT REMEMBER THAT THE SAME GOD WHO CAN SET YOU FREE 24:40 CAN TAKE ENEMIES WHO ARE AGAINST YOU AND TOUCH THEM ONCE 24:45 BY HIS POWER AND THEY DISAPPEAR. 24:48 SO, GOD HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE LANDSCAPES. 24:54 HE IS THE GOD OF ANOTHER CHANCE. 24:57 TONIGHT YOU MUST LEAN ON THAT GOD. 25:00 PRAY WITH ME WOULD YOU ?
