I BELIEVE THAT THE POWER OF GOD.
00:00:01.40\00:00:03.56
I BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN STEP INTO
00:00:03.56\00:00:05.30
YOUR VALLEY FULL OF DRY BONES.
00:00:05.30\00:00:08.36
I BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN STEP INTO
00:00:08.36\00:00:09.90
YOUR LIFE WHEN IT'S HOPELESS
00:00:09.90\00:00:12.93
AND THAT GOD HAS THE POWER
00:00:12.93\00:00:15.23
TO SPEAK TO THE HOPELESSNESS
00:00:15.23\00:00:18.23
THAT'S IN YOUR LIFE.
00:00:18.23\00:00:20.13
?  PRAISE THE LORD,
LET'S JUST PRAISE THE LORD. ?
00:00:20.13\00:00:26.26
Announcer: THIS IS THE BREATH OF
LIFE TELEVISION BROADCAST WITH
PASTOR WALTER L. PEARSON, JR.
00:00:26.26\00:00:30.50
WHEN GOD GETS READY HE CAN
DELIVER YOU, IF YOU CALL ON HIM,
IF YOU TRUST IN HIM.
00:00:30.50\00:00:36.00
?  HE'S WORTHY OF THE
PRAISE, JESUS IS WORTHY. ?
00:00:36.00\00:00:43.93
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOWN FLAT
ON YOUR FACE, BUT THE POWER OF
GOD WILL LIFT YOU UP.
00:00:43.93\00:00:48.40
?  HE'S WORTHY OF
ALL ALL THE PRAISE. ?
00:00:48.40\00:00:53.70
SAY LOOK, COME, COME, YOU
00:00:53.70\00:00:57.30
GRAND EDUCATED HUMAN BEING.
00:00:57.30\00:00:59.23
LET ME GUIDE YOU NOW DOWN TO
00:00:59.23\00:01:01.46
WHERE ALL THE
FACTS ARE EXTRAPOLATED.
00:01:01.46\00:01:03.60
LOOK AT THEM, ARE THEY DRY ?
00:01:03.60\00:01:05.63
AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO DECLARE,
00:01:05.63\00:01:06.93
"YES LORD, WE HAVE
ALREADY EVALUATED THIS.
00:01:06.93\00:01:09.33
WHY DO YOU ASK ?
00:01:09.33\00:01:11.16
WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THESE FACTS.
00:01:11.16\00:01:14.60
THESE FACTS ARE SELF-EVIDENT.
00:01:14.60\00:01:16.60
ERE IS NO HOPE FOR THESE PEOPLE.
00:01:16.60\00:01:19.36
WE HAVE SAID IT; WE'VE
PUT IT IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
00:01:19.36\00:01:21.33
WE TRIED TO MAKE IT AS
CALM AND QUIET AS WE COULD,
00:01:21.33\00:01:25.46
BUT CERTAIN PEOPLE
MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP.
00:01:25.46\00:01:27.40
WE HAVE STUDIED THE FACTS.
00:01:27.40\00:01:28.86
THE INDICATORS ARE ALL
CLEAR, THEY CAN'T MAKE IT !"
00:01:28.86\00:01:32.43
AND GOD WOULD GUIDE
THEM AROUND AGAIN AND SAY,
00:01:32.43\00:01:33.83
"WELL NOW, LOOK
AT ALL THE DRY FACTS.
00:01:33.83\00:01:36.23
DO YOU SEE THEM ALL ?
00:01:36.23\00:01:37.70
CAN THESE PEOPLE MAKE IT ?"
00:01:37.70\00:01:39.90
WELL, THEY ARE NOT
SO WISE AS EZEKIEL WAS.
00:01:39.90\00:01:42.73
THEY SAY, "NO, LORD."
00:01:42.73\00:01:44.36
THEY WOULD ANSWER QUICKLY,
00:01:44.36\00:01:45.63
"NO YOU SEE, WE
HAVE -- PULL IT OUT. . ."
00:01:45.63\00:01:48.10
AND THEY'D BRING
ALL THESE REAMS OF PAPER
00:01:48.10\00:01:50.06
"YOU SEE, YOU SEE -- RIGHT HERE,
RIGHT HERE, WE COME UP WITH IT,
00:01:50.06\00:01:53.33
THERE IT IS, THE BOTTOM
LINE; THEY CAN'T MAKE IT."
00:01:53.33\00:01:57.43
BUT THEN WHAT
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND,
00:01:57.43\00:01:59.86
IS WHEN GOD ASKS THE QUESTION,
HE ALREADY HAS THE SOLUTION.
00:01:59.86\00:02:04.90
(applause)
00:02:04.90\00:02:07.93
NOW I AM NOT TRYING TO
PREACH UTOPIAN CHRISTIANITY.
00:02:07.93\00:02:15.33
I'M A LITTLE DISGUSTED
WITH PEOPLE WHO ACT AS THOUGH
00:02:15.33\00:02:20.13
IF YOU CALL THE NAME OF
JESUS AND LIE DOWN IN YOUR BED,
00:02:20.13\00:02:24.50
THAT GOOD THINGS WILL COME TO
FIND YOU UNDERNEATH YOUR COVERS.
00:02:24.50\00:02:30.20
I BELIEVE GOD FEEDS THE BIRDS,
00:02:30.20\00:02:31.70
BUT HE DOES NOT THROW
THE WORMS IN THEIR NEST.
00:02:31.70\00:02:35.73
WHAT DO YOU SAY ?
00:02:35.73\00:02:37.90
I BELIEVE THAT GOD REWARDS
THOSE WHO PUT FORTH EFFORT.
00:02:37.90\00:02:42.33
I WOULD HATE TO BELONG
TO ANY GROUP -- I WOULD
00:02:42.33\00:02:45.53
NOT EVEN PURPORT THAT
CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD FOR YOU
00:02:45.53\00:02:48.26
IF PEOPLE COULD JUST
SIT DOWN AND JUST SIT THERE,
00:02:48.26\00:02:51.33
JUST WAIT AND
BLESSINGS TO FALL UPON THEM.
00:02:51.33\00:02:55.76
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ?
00:02:55.76\00:02:57.46
I SUGGEST TO YOU THAT
YOU WOULD BE NO BETTER,
00:02:57.46\00:02:59.96
IN FACT YOU
WOULD PROBABLY BE WORSE
00:02:59.96\00:03:02.06
IF YOU COULD JUST SIT THERE
AND BLESSINGS COME AND FIND YOU.
00:03:02.06\00:03:05.86
I BELIEVE THAT THERE OUGHT TO BE
SOME EFFORT PUT FORTH, DON'T YOU
00:03:05.86\00:03:09.80
? I THINK SOME FOLK
NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:03:09.80\00:03:11.36
BUT UNDERSTAND ME MY FRIEND;
00:03:11.36\00:03:13.46
IN THIS CULTURE OF OURS IT
IS POSSIBLE TO PUT FORTH EFFORT
00:03:13.46\00:03:21.43
TO DO YOUR BEST AND STILL
NOT SEE A GLIMMER OF LIGHT
00:03:21.43\00:03:27.10
AT THE END OFTHE TUNNEL.
00:03:27.10\00:03:29.63
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE
MORE EDUCATION THAN SUCCESSFUL
00:03:29.63\00:03:33.20
FOLK HAVE BUT THINGS HAVE
NOT FALLEN RIGHT FOR THEM.
00:03:33.20\00:03:37.53
THEY'VE SOMEHOW
BEEN MARGINALIZED;
00:03:37.53\00:03:38.96
THEY'VE BEEN PUSHED ASIDE.
00:03:38.96\00:03:40.10
ALL OF IT IS NOT FOR
THE REASONS THAT WE SUSPECT,
00:03:40.10\00:03:43.20
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS OF
00:03:43.20\00:03:45.53
THIS WONDERFUL SOCIETY OF OURS
AND THEY HAVE ENDED UP HOPELESS.
00:03:45.53\00:03:49.56
I GREW UP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
WHERE PEOPLE MOSTLY AROUND ME
00:03:49.56\00:03:55.90
WERE WITHOUT HOPE. WE'D WAKE UP
IN THE MORNING AND WE'D TRY TO
MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY.
00:03:55.90\00:03:58.70
I HAVE BEEN WITH THE
LITTLE GROUPS WHO WENT AROUND
00:03:58.70\00:04:01.43
TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT
WE COULD TEAR UP ON THAT
00:04:01.43\00:04:04.30
DAY BECAUSE WE NEVER THOUGHT
THAT WE WOULD OWN ANYTHING.
00:04:04.30\00:04:08.56
SO WE DID NOT FEEL
PART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM,
00:04:08.56\00:04:11.40
WE FELT LIKE WE WERE
PUT ASIDE AND CAST AWAY.
00:04:11.40\00:04:15.46
BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW,
THAT THERE ARE MIRACLES THAT ARE
00:04:15.46\00:04:21.03
STILL HAPPENING FOR PEOPLE WHO
CLING TENACIOUSLY TO THE FACT
00:04:21.03\00:04:29.46
THAT GOD STEPS IN
AND MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
00:04:29.46\00:04:31.83
GOD IS ABOUT TO STEP INTO THIS
VALLEY FILLED WITH DRY BONES.
00:04:31.83\00:04:41.43
IN FACT, WHAT HE TELLS EZEKIEL
TO DO IS, HE SAYS, "PROPHECY".
00:04:41.43\00:04:47.36
NOW FORGIVE ME IF I
ALLOW THAT TO BE "PREACH".
00:04:47.36\00:04:52.13
PREACH TO THE BONES.
00:04:52.13\00:04:55.16
SOMEHOW I FEEL LIKE I'VE HAD
SOME CHURCH MEMBERS WHO WERE NOT
00:04:55.16\00:05:01.76
UNLIKE THAT. I CAN REMEMBER
PREACHING SOME SERMONS THAT I
THOUGHT WERE FAIRLY GOOD
00:05:01.76\00:05:05.10
AND I WOULD LOOK OUT IN THE
AUDIENCE AND THERE WERE PEOPLE.
00:05:05.10\00:05:08.86
. . AND I SAID "DON'T THEY KNOW
THAT I'M PREACHING POWER HERE ?
00:05:08.86\00:05:13.23
DON'T THEY KNOW THAT IN THE
POWER OF PREACHING YOU CAN GET
00:05:13.23\00:05:17.30
UP ? YOU CAN STOP
BEING A DRY BONE AND LIVE."
00:05:17.30\00:05:20.73
EVIDENTLY THEY
HADN'T READ THE TEXT.
00:05:20.73\00:05:23.53
SO THEY LOOKED AT ME AS
THOUGH NOTHING WERE HAPPENING.
00:05:23.53\00:05:26.40
GOD SAYS TO EZEKIEL,
00:05:26.40\00:05:27.90
"PREACH TO THE BONES."
00:05:27.90\00:05:29.66
NOW LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
THERE IS SOMETHING THERE.
00:05:29.66\00:05:33.73
THERE IS A MEANING THERE
THAT I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO PULL
00:05:33.73\00:05:39.13
COMPLETELY OUT. BUT THE FACT
IS THAT WE CAN NEVER ADMIT TO
00:05:39.13\00:05:45.30
FAILURE WHEN THERE IS A GOD WHO
CAN STEP IN AND BRING SUCCESS.
00:05:45.30\00:05:49.33
(applause)
00:05:49.33\00:05:51.70
YOU CAN'T GET
COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
00:05:51.70\00:05:54.43
I KNOW, I HAVE MET
PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO BE HOPELESS.
00:05:54.43\00:05:57.20
I MET A MAN A FEW YEARS AGO.
00:05:57.20\00:05:59.93
THE MAN SAID TO ME, "SIR,
I WAS ADDICTED TO HEROIN."
00:05:59.93\00:06:05.46
I SAID, "YOU WERE ?"
00:06:05.46\00:06:06.60
HE SAID, "NO, IT
GETS WORSE THAN THAT."
00:06:06.60\00:06:08.70
HE SAID "I THOUGHT
HEROIN WAS ADDICTIVE
00:06:08.70\00:06:11.66
UNTIL I FOUND CRACK COCAINE."
00:06:11.66\00:06:14.76
HE SAID, "CRACK COCAINE IS
WAY MORE ADDICTIVE THAN HEROIN."
00:06:14.76\00:06:19.40
AND I MUST ADMIT TO YOU NOW THAT
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING
00:06:19.40\00:06:22.00
ABOUT NOW, BUT I LOOKED IN
HIS EYES AND I BELIEVED HIM.
00:06:22.00\00:06:23.90
I COULD READ HIS INTENSITY.
00:06:23.90\00:06:25.80
THE MAN SAID, "WHEN
I FOUND CRACK COCAINE
00:06:25.80\00:06:27.60
I BECAME SO LOST THAT I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO."
00:06:27.60\00:06:30.76
I SAID, "WELL SIR, WOULD
YOU EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO ME ?
00:06:30.76\00:06:32.93
YOU SAY THAT YOU USED
TO BE ADDICTED TO HEROIN,
00:06:32.93\00:06:35.40
AND YOU USED TO BE
ADDICTED TO CRACK COCAINE,
00:06:35.40\00:06:37.56
BUT I'M LOOKING AT
YOU NOW AND YOU LOOK OK."
00:06:37.56\00:06:40.03
HE SAID, "YEAH,
I'M ALL RIGHT NOW."
00:06:40.03\00:06:42.03
I SAID, "BUT YOU CAN'T
GET OUT OF THAT CAN YOU ?"
00:06:42.03\00:06:44.60
CAN THESE BONES LIVE ?
00:06:44.60\00:06:49.86
YOU CAN'T COME BACK FROM THAT;
00:06:49.86\00:06:52.33
NOT FROM HEROIN AND CRACK !
00:06:52.33\00:06:55.06
HE SAID, "BUT I DIDN'T
TELL YOU THE END OF THE STORY.
00:06:55.06\00:06:58.23
YOU SEE, HEROIN WAS POWERFUL;
00:06:58.23\00:07:00.73
CRACK COCAINE WAS MORE POWERFUL,
00:07:00.73\00:07:03.20
BUT I FOUND SOMETHING THAT
WAS MORE POWERFUL THAN CRACK.
00:07:03.20\00:07:06.50
(applause)
00:07:06.50\00:07:10.80
I FOUND GOD.
00:07:10.80\00:07:13.70
GOD STEPPED INTO MY LIFE
AND WHEN I LET GOD IN MY LIFE
00:07:13.70\00:07:19.33
I DISCOVERED
THAT HE HAD MORE POWER
00:07:19.33\00:07:22.66
THAN THE
ADDICTION TO CRACK COCAINE."
00:07:22.66\00:07:27.30
I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT CRACK COCAINE,
00:07:27.30\00:07:28.73
BUT I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY
UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE
00:07:28.73\00:07:31.86
HAS HAD SOME PROBLEM THAT
YOU THOUGHT WAS TOO BIG FOR YOU.
00:07:31.86\00:07:35.96
AND THERE ARE SOME WHO
HAVE ALREADY COME TO UNDERSTAND
00:07:35.96\00:07:39.03
THAT GOD IS MORE
POWERFUL THAN YOUR PROBLEM !
00:07:39.03\00:07:43.16
(applause)
00:07:43.16\00:07:47.36
IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS
TRUE, I WOULD STOP PREACHING.
00:07:47.36\00:07:51.60
I'D STOP PREACHING.
00:07:51.60\00:07:53.00
BUT I BELIEVE IN
THE POWER OF GOD.
00:07:53.00\00:07:56.10
I BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN STEP INTO
YOUR VALLEY FULL OF DRY BONES.
00:07:56.10\00:08:00.90
I BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN STEP INTO
YOUR LIFE WHEN IT'S HOPELESS
00:08:00.90\00:08:05.50
AND THAT GOD HAS
THE POWER TO SPEAK
00:08:05.50\00:08:09.60
TO THE HOPELESSNESS
THAT'S IN YOUR LIFE.
00:08:09.60\00:08:13.43
EZEKIEL TALKED TO THE DRY BONES.
00:08:13.43\00:08:15.90
YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO HAVE SOME
FAITH TO PREACH TO DRY BONES.
00:08:15.90\00:08:20.66
'CAUSE THEY DON'T RESPOND MUCH.
00:08:20.66\00:08:23.43
MOST PREACHERS I KNOW LIKE
TO HEAR A LITTLE SOMETHING,
00:08:23.43\00:08:27.56
THEY LIKE TO AT LEAST SEE
YOU SHIFT IN YOUR CHAIR A LITTLE
00:08:27.56\00:08:31.80
BIT. THIS PREACHER IS CHALLENGED
TO GO AND PREACH TO DRY BONES.
00:08:31.80\00:08:35.13
DRY BONES ARE INERT.
00:08:35.13\00:08:36.46
DRY BONES HAVE NO LIFE.
00:08:36.46\00:08:38.13
DRY BONES CAN'T MAKE NOISE.
00:08:38.13\00:08:39.66
WHAT CAN THEY DO ?
00:08:39.66\00:08:41.13
YOU SEE, MOST OF US THINK OF
BONES AS JUST BEING DEAD ANYHOW,
00:08:41.13\00:08:44.86
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND
THAT IF YOU REALLY KNEW THAT
00:08:44.86\00:08:49.66
BONES ARE ALIVE. I WENT
BACK AND DID A BUNCH OF STUDY.
00:08:49.66\00:08:51.00
I WAS IN THE
LIBRARY POURING OVER BOOKS.
00:08:51.00\00:08:53.20
I HAD A DOCTOR TO TELL
ME WHICH BOOKS TO LOOK FOR.
00:08:53.20\00:08:56.00
BUT THE DOCTOR WAS
KIND OF SMART, HE SAID,
00:08:56.00\00:08:57.50
"I'LL HELP YOU BUT I'M
NOT GOING TO SPOON FEED YOU."
00:08:57.50\00:09:01.23
AND SO HE SENT ME
DOWN TO A LIBRARY,
00:09:01.23\00:09:03.86
AND THERE I WAS
POURING OVER THESE BOOKS.
00:09:03.86\00:09:06.06
AND I CAME ACROSS SOME
INFORMATION THAT WAS AMAZING.
00:09:06.06\00:09:08.83
WAY BACK IN 1691 THERE WAS
A MAN NAMED CLOPTON HAVVERS
00:09:08.83\00:09:15.26
WHO LOOKED AT BONE AND CAME TO
BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING
GOING ON INSIDE OF THEM.
00:09:15.26\00:09:21.10
MOST PEOPLE UP UNTIL THEN
THOUGHT THAT BONE WAS INERT,
00:09:21.10\00:09:25.76
THAT IT WAS JUST FOR ENGINEERING
PURPOSES, MECHANICAL PURPOSES.
00:09:25.76\00:09:30.30
THAT IS WAS BASICALLY
FOR POSTURE AND LOCOMOTION.
00:09:30.30\00:09:33.93
THAT IT JUST STOOD YOU UP
STRAIGHT AND MADE IT SO THAT YOU
00:09:33.93\00:09:38.13
COULD WALK. YOU KNOW -- BONES.
00:09:38.13\00:09:39.76
BUT HE DISCOVERED THAT IN
THESE BONES THERE WERE CANALS.
00:09:39.76\00:09:45.86
IN FACT, THEY NAMED THE
CANALS AFTER CLOPTON HAVVERS
00:09:45.86\00:09:49.30
AND CALLED THEM
HAVERSION CANALS.
00:09:49.30\00:09:52.83
AND AFTER THEY GOT THE
MICROSCOPES YEARS LATER AND
BEGAN TO LOOK IN THE 60'S,
00:09:52.83\00:09:57.20
THEY BEGAN TO SEE ALL
OF THESE BLOOD VESSELS.
00:09:57.20\00:09:59.60
RICH BLOOD VESSELS
FLOWING THROUGH THE BONE
00:09:59.60\00:10:03.30
SO THAT BONE IS ALWAYS
BEING BUILT UP AND TORN DOWN.
00:10:03.30\00:10:07.80
OSTEOBLASTS BUILD IT UP
AND OSTEOCLASTS TEAR IT DOWN.
00:10:07.80\00:10:13.70
WELL, I READ THE BOOK.
00:10:13.70\00:10:15.40
(applause)
00:10:15.40\00:10:21.53
SO WHEN I BREAK MY BONE, AND
LORD PLEASE DON'T LET ME AT MY
00:10:21.53\00:10:25.90
AGE BREAK A BONE, BUT WHEN
YOU BREAK A BONE THEY CAN PUT IT
00:10:25.90\00:10:29.86
BACK IN A CAST. IT IS NOT THE
PHYSICIAN WHO MAKES THE BONE GO
00:10:29.86\00:10:33.30
BACK TOGETHER. THEY PUT THE BONE
IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE BONE
00:10:33.30\00:10:39.66
HEALS. AMEN ?
00:10:39.66\00:10:41.00
BLOOD IN THE BONE,
BONE KNITS BACK TOGETHER.
00:10:41.00\00:10:44.40
NOW, WHEN YOU
GET A LITTLE OLDER,
00:10:44.40\00:10:45.96
YOU GOTTA BE A LITTLE
MORE CAREFUL NOT TO FALL,
00:10:45.96\00:10:47.50
BECAUSE THE HEALING
PROCESS IS A LITTLE SLOWER.
00:10:47.50\00:10:50.70
SO NOW I AM MORE
CAREFUL HOW I STEP.
00:10:50.70\00:10:55.00
BUT BONE HAS LIFE !
00:10:55.00\00:10:56.30
BONES ARE ALIVE.
00:10:56.30\00:10:57.73
AND WHEN BONE DIES IT
IS A TERRIBLE SITUATION,
00:10:57.73\00:11:00.70
ITS CALLED ASEPTIC NECROSIS.
00:11:00.70\00:11:03.40
IT ONLY HAPPENS IN
STRANGE SITUATIONS.
00:11:03.40\00:11:05.56
BUT BONE IS ALIVE, IT'S
LIVING AND IT'S CHANGING.
00:11:05.56\00:11:10.26
SO WHEN GOD TALKED
ABOUT BONES THEY WERE ALIVE,
00:11:10.26\00:11:13.33
BUT THEY DON'T
RESPOND WHEN THEY'RE DRY.
00:11:13.33\00:11:15.90
BUT PREACHER, GO OUT
AND SPEAK TO THE DRY BONES,
00:11:15.90\00:11:19.56
AND TELL THE
BONES, "BONES -- LIVE." !
00:11:19.56\00:11:25.20
AND EVERY PREACHER LISTENING
TO ME NOW KNOWS THAT IF
00:11:25.20\00:11:28.90
YOU SAY THAT IN YOUR OWN
POWER, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
00:11:28.90\00:11:35.03
EVERY NOW AND THEN -- YOU KNOW I
DON'T WANT TO GIVE AWAY TOO MANY
SECRETS ABOUT PREACHERS,
00:11:35.03\00:11:38.50
BUT AFTER YOU'VE PREACHED FOR SO
LONG BUT YOU BEGIN TO COME TO
THINK THAT EVERY TIME
00:11:38.50\00:11:43.00
YOU PREACH IN GOD'S
NAME SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN.
00:11:43.00\00:11:45.83
BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING,
WHEN YOU PREACH IN THE POWER OF
GOD, SOMETHING HAPPENS.
00:11:45.83\00:11:50.06
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT GETS INTO
THE WORDS THAT GOD GIVES YOU TO
SAY, SOMETHING HAPPENS.
00:11:50.06\00:11:55.16
BUT THERE IS A STRANGE
COMPLEX THAT PREACHERS CAN GET.
00:11:55.16\00:11:58.00
WE SOMETIMES CAN BEGIN TO FEEL
THAT WE HAVE BEEN PREACHING SO
00:11:58.00\00:12:02.36
LONG, WITH SO MUCH
POWER THAT MAYBE WE HAVE IT.
00:12:02.36\00:12:11.10
SO EVERY NOW AND THEN A PREACHER
WILL GO OUT ENSCONCED IN HIS
00:12:11.10\00:12:15.93
OR HER OWN POWER AND THEY WILL
SEE SOME BONE AND SAY TO IT,
00:12:15.93\00:12:25.43
"ARISE." BUT LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, IT IS NOT THE POWER
OF THE PREACHER THAT MAKES LIFE,
00:12:25.43\00:12:32.63
IT IS THE POWER OF
GOD THAT MAKES LIFE.
00:12:32.63\00:12:35.80
SO IT HAS TO BE GOD MOVING.
00:12:35.80\00:12:37.66
AND SO THIS PROPHET IS TOLD
BY GOD TO GO OUT IN THE VALLEY
00:12:37.66\00:12:42.13
FILLED WITH DRY BONES
AND PREACH TO THE BONES.
00:12:42.13\00:12:45.40
AND EZEKIEL HAS
ENOUGH FAITH AND GOES OUT,
00:12:45.40\00:12:48.43
AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THERE
MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PULPIT OR NOT
00:12:48.43\00:12:52.23
-- PROBABLY NOT. BUT LET'S
ENVISION HIM OUT LOOKING AT THE
VALLEY AS FAR AS HE COULD SEE.
00:12:52.23\00:12:55.53
HE SAYS, "BONES !
00:12:55.53\00:12:59.60
ARISE !"
00:12:59.60\00:13:01.63
NOW, YOU REALLY DON'T EXPECT
FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU
00:13:01.63\00:13:05.63
PREACH TO BONES UNLESS THE POWER
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS THERE.
00:13:05.63\00:13:12.23
AND THEN THERE CAME A CLICKING
SOUND -- CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.
00:13:12.23\00:13:16.53
WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS THE SAME
GOD WHO PUT THE BONES TOGETHER
00:13:16.53\00:13:20.76
IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS CAUSING
THEM TO COME TOGETHER AGAIN.
00:13:20.76\00:13:25.36
NOW CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS
LITTLE, TEENY, WEENIE BONE HERE.
00:13:25.36\00:13:28.66
LITTLE BONE IN THERE.
00:13:28.66\00:13:30.63
THAT BONE IS SOMEWHERE
OUT STREWN IN THE VALLEY.
00:13:30.63\00:13:35.86
BUT GOD KNOWS
WHERE THAT BONE GOES,
00:13:35.86\00:13:39.53
SO GOD TELLS THIS
BONE WHERE THIS BONE IS.
00:13:39.53\00:13:46.60
AND THEN TELLS THIS
BONE WHERE THIS BONE IS.
00:13:46.60\00:13:49.16
AND YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.
00:13:49.16\00:13:50.63
SO THE CLICKING IS THE
BONES COME BACK TOGETHER.
00:13:50.63\00:13:53.00
AND THEN THE
TENDONS ATTACH THEMSELVES;
00:13:53.00\00:13:56.16
AND THEN THE
MUSCLES RESTRING THEMSELVES.
00:13:56.16\00:13:59.13
AND THE CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM IS VISIBLE NOW;
00:13:59.13\00:14:03.03
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
THERE IS A FORM NOW.
00:14:03.03\00:14:06.40
NO MORE BONES, BUT NOW
THE BONES HAVE TAKEN ON SHAPE.
00:14:06.40\00:14:09.76
SOMETHING HAD TO
HAPPEN INSIDE THE BONES.
00:14:09.76\00:14:12.33
YOU REMEMBER CLOPTON HAVVERS
LOOKED IN THERE AND SAW SOME
00:14:12.33\00:14:16.43
ACTIVITY GOING ON. SO,
BEFORE GOD CLOSED IT UP,
00:14:16.43\00:14:18.30
HE HAD TO MAKE SOMETHING
HAPPEN INSIDE THE BONES AGAIN.
00:14:18.30\00:14:21.36
SO THERE'S MARROW
THERE, AND THERE'S POWER THERE,
00:14:21.36\00:14:25.03
AND THERE'S BLOOD
CIRCULATING THERE;
00:14:25.03\00:14:27.16
AND NOW THE SKIN
COMES OVER THE BONES;
00:14:27.16\00:14:29.53
AND NOW INSTEAD OF LOOKING
AT A VALLEY FULL OF DRY BONES,
00:14:29.53\00:14:32.63
I'M LOOKING NOW AT A
VALLEY FULL OF BODIES.
00:14:32.63\00:14:35.86
BUT, THEY'RE NOT MOVING YET,
BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY
00:14:35.86\00:14:39.36
LOOKING AT IS THE
RECREATION OF LIFE.
00:14:39.36\00:14:43.13
AND IF YOU LOOK AT GENESIS 2 AND
FIND OUT HOW GOD MADE MAN IN THE
00:14:43.13\00:14:49.40
FIRST PLACE, YOU'D DISCOVER THAT
MAN WAS FORMED OUT OF THE DUST
00:14:49.40\00:14:53.93
OF THE GROUND. THEN GOD BREATHED
-- FORGIVE ME, I HAVE READ THE
00:14:53.93\00:14:58.23
POEM TOO, BUT SUPPOSE AFTER MAN
WAS FORMED AND THEN WAS PULLED
00:14:58.23\00:15:07.26
UP AND NOW -- THE WORD IN HEBREW
00:15:07.26\00:15:19.63
FOR WIND, BREATH AND SPIRIT
00:15:19.63\00:15:23.36
ARE ALL THE SAME; "RUACH."
00:15:23.36\00:15:27.46
SO, WE KNOW THAT
IT WASN'T JUST BREATH.
00:15:27.46\00:15:30.13
IF YOU THINK THAT IT IS, YOU
GO BREATHE IN SOMETHING INERT
00:15:30.13\00:15:33.90
AND SEE IF IT WILL MOVE.
00:15:33.90\00:15:36.93
THERE WAS MORE THAN JUST WIND.
00:15:36.93\00:15:39.50
THERE HAD TO BE POWER.
00:15:39.50\00:15:42.86
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN MAN
WAS FORMED FROM THE DUST OF THE
00:15:42.86\00:15:45.33
GROUND THAT GOD BREATHED INTO
HIS NOSTRILSHE BREATH OF LIFE
00:15:45.33\00:15:50.60
AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL.
00:15:50.60\00:15:54.23
THE PREACHER STOOD OUT IN
THE VALLEY AND ACCORDING TO WHAT
00:15:54.23\00:15:57.36
WAS TOLD HIM, HE CALLED
TO THE FOUR WINDS AND SAID,
00:15:57.36\00:16:00.90
"BREATH, COME NOW."
00:16:00.90\00:16:03.83
NOW THE BREATH OF GOD -- FORGIVE
ME, THE PROGRAM IS CALLED
00:16:03.83\00:16:06.86
"BREATH OF LIFE."
00:16:06.86\00:16:08.56
YOU KNEW I WASN'T GOING
TO PASS BY THAT DIDN'T YA ?
00:16:08.56\00:16:11.86
THE BREATH OF LIFE
WAS BREATHED INTO THESE
00:16:11.86\00:16:15.43
FLESHLY CREATURES NOW
COVERED ONCE AGAIN WITH SKIN.
00:16:15.43\00:16:19.96
THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
THE MEDICAL PEOPLE CALL IT.
00:16:19.96\00:16:23.86
NOW, WHEN THE BREATH IS
IN THEM, THEY ALL WERE ERECT,
00:16:23.86\00:16:27.73
A MIGHTY ARMY, THERE
BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF GOD.
00:16:27.73\00:16:36.70
LET ME SAY THIS TO YOU,
THERE MAY BE PEOPLE WHO THE
00:16:36.70\00:16:40.30
DEMOGRAPHERS HAVE
CROSSED OFF THE LIST.
00:16:40.30\00:16:43.66
THERE MAY SOME SINGLE MOTHER
SITTING AT HOME WATCHING RIGHT
00:16:43.66\00:16:48.73
NOW, THINKING, "I'M
ALIVE, BUT I'M DEAD.
00:16:48.73\00:16:52.63
"I'M ALIVE BUT I HAVE NO HOPE."
00:16:52.63\00:16:55.73
I'M ALIVE BUT I'VE GOT TO
GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING STRANGE
00:16:55.73\00:16:59.40
THAT IS AGAINST MY PRINCIPLES
IN ORDER TO MAKE IT IN LIFE."
00:16:59.40\00:17:03.16
WELL YOU LADY;
NEED TO UNDERSTAND
00:17:03.16\00:17:06.40
THAT GOD CAN DO ANYTHING.
00:17:06.40\00:17:11.36
THE BONES OUGHT TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING,
00:17:11.36\00:17:13.83
THAT WHEN GOD SPEAKS
TO IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS,
00:17:13.83\00:17:18.13
GOD MAKES
IMPOSSIBLE BECOME POSSIBLE.
00:17:18.13\00:17:22.23
LUKE CHAPTER 17 VERSE 28:
00:17:22.23\00:17:25.50
"WITH MAN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE,
BUT WITH GOD IT IS POSSIBLE !"
00:17:25.50\00:17:30.26
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE !
00:17:30.26\00:17:33.16
SOME YOUNG MAN WHO'S TRYING
TO STRUGGLE AND MAKE A LIFE FOR
00:17:33.16\00:17:37.53
HIMSELF. SOME YOUNG MAN
WHO'S TRYING TO BE A MAN
00:17:37.53\00:17:39.76
AND YOU KNOW IT'S BECOMING A
LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT NOW TO BE
00:17:39.76\00:17:43.50
A MAN. FROM TIME TO TIME
THEY CHANGE THE PARADIGM.
00:17:43.50\00:17:47.53
ONE TIME THEY WANT YOU
TO BE ROUGH MAN, TOUGH.
00:17:47.53\00:17:50.73
THEN THEY WANT YOU TO BE GENTLE,
LET YOUR FEMININE SIDE SHOW.
00:17:50.73\00:17:55.46
WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.
00:17:55.46\00:17:57.66
WE ARE CONFUSED.
00:17:57.66\00:17:59.50
THEY WANT YOU TO
OPEN A DOOR SOMETIMES,
00:17:59.50\00:18:01.03
THEN AGAIN THEY DON'T.
00:18:01.03\00:18:02.56
BUT LET ME TELL YOU; INSTEAD
OF CHECKING WITH THE MAGAZINES,
00:18:02.56\00:18:05.50
INSTEAD OF
LOOKING AT THE TELEVISION,
00:18:05.50\00:18:07.56
GET ON YOUR KNEES AND
HAVE LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS.
00:18:07.56\00:18:11.33
BECAUSE GOD IS ABLE TO
MAKE A FUTURE OUT OF NO FUTURE.
00:18:11.33\00:18:16.50
THERE MAY BE SOMEBODY
TONIGHT LOCKED IN A PRISON CELL,
00:18:16.50\00:18:26.10
AND WE LOOK AT YOU AND
SAY, "GIVE UP -- NO HOPE."
00:18:26.10\00:18:34.13
BUT GOD GAVE YOU THE VISION.
00:18:34.13\00:18:37.46
THIS VISION IS
NOT JUST FOR ISRAEL.
00:18:37.46\00:18:40.50
I READ IN GALATIANS
CHAPTER 3 AND VERSE 29,
00:18:40.50\00:18:43.16
WORDS THAT HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND
THAT WHEN I AM IN CHRIST,
00:18:43.16\00:18:47.20
I AM ABRAHAM'S SEED.
00:18:47.20\00:18:51.66
SO I CAN
JUSTIFIABLY CLAIM THE PROMISES
00:18:51.66\00:18:55.46
THAT ARE MADE TO ISRAEL.
00:18:55.46\00:18:57.40
SO, IF GOD SAYS, "YOU DON'T
THINK YOU CAN BE A NATION ?
00:18:57.40\00:18:59.46
LET ME MAKE YOU ONE."
00:18:59.46\00:19:01.00
I BELIEVE THAT
SOMEBODY INCARCERATED TONIGHT;
00:19:01.00\00:19:03.20
YOU MAY BE INCARCERATED
FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU DID,
00:19:03.20\00:19:07.00
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN
CAUGHT RED HANDED.
00:19:07.00\00:19:09.56
BUT THE FACT IS THAT YOU DON'T
HAVE TO STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
00:19:09.56\00:19:13.96
GOD SPECIALIZES IN
FUTURES THAT ARE IMPROBABLE,
00:19:13.96\00:19:19.36
NO-SCRATCH THAT -- IMPOSSIBLE.
00:19:19.36\00:19:22.20
HE IS THE GOD OF CHANCES.
00:19:22.20\00:19:25.16
HE IS THE GOD OF POSSIBILITIES.
00:19:25.16\00:19:27.56
GOD OPENS WAYS OUT OF NO WAY.
00:19:27.56\00:19:33.93
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN
TO THE PREACHING OF THE WORD.
00:19:33.93\00:19:38.83
NOT TO BECOME
ENAMORED WITH SOME PREACHER,
00:19:38.83\00:19:42.80
BUT SIMPLY TO LET THE WORD OF
GOD SPEAK TO YOUR HOPELESSNESS.
00:19:42.80\00:19:49.60
LET THE WORD OF GOD
BRING LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS.
00:19:49.60\00:19:53.66
LET THE WORD OF GOD BREATHE
ON YOUR IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.
00:19:53.66\00:19:59.10
GOD WILL MAKE
BONES SNAP TOGETHER,
00:19:59.10\00:20:02.63
GOD WILL COVER THEM
WITH MUSCLES AND SKIN.
00:20:02.63\00:20:06.03
GOD WILL BREATHE LIFE
INTO AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.
00:20:06.03\00:20:10.73
AND YOU WILL FIND THAT WHAT YOU
THOUGHT COULD NEVER HAPPEN, WILL
00:20:10.73\00:20:18.30
HAPPEN. BECAUSE GOD IS ABLE.
00:20:18.30\00:20:21.53
BEFORE GOD
STEPPED IN, IMPOSSIBLE.
00:20:21.53\00:20:27.00
BUT THE MOMENT GOD
STEPS IN, POSSIBLE.
00:20:27.00\00:20:32.46
BEFORE GOD STEPS
IN, A WALL SO THICK
00:20:32.46\00:20:36.00
THAT YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH IT.
00:20:36.00\00:20:37.76
BUT THE MOMENT GOD STEPS IN,
00:20:37.76\00:20:39.70
THE WALL EITHER DISAPPEARS
00:20:39.70\00:20:41.76
OR GOD ENABLES YOU
TO WALK TO THROUGH IT.
00:20:41.76\00:20:44.53
GOD IS A GOD OF POSSIBILITIES.
00:20:44.53\00:20:48.43
NOW, I WANT TO MAKE A LITTLE
CHANGE IN THE WAY THAT WE ARE
00:20:48.43\00:20:52.76
GOING. WE'RE ABOUT TO
CLOSE FOR THIS EVENING.
00:20:52.76\00:20:56.93
AND SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT
UP IN THE INSTANT SITUATION,
00:20:56.93\00:21:02.03
BUT I BELIEVE THAT EVERY TIME
THE WORD COMES TO OUR HEARTS,
00:21:02.03\00:21:07.40
THERE OUGHT TO BE A RESPONSE
00:21:07.40\00:21:08.96
AND IT OUGHT NOT BE GOVERNED
BY SOME TELEVISED PROGRAM.
00:21:08.96\00:21:15.40
WHEN I PREPARED
FOR THIS MESSAGE,
00:21:15.40\00:21:20.06
MY HEART WAS LIFTED AGAIN.
00:21:20.06\00:21:22.16
I THOUGHT ABOUT
SOMETIMES IN MY LIFE
00:21:22.16\00:21:24.73
WHEN I HAD ERRONEOUSLY GIVEN IN.
00:21:24.73\00:21:28.90
I THOUGHT ABOUT SOME SMALL
THINGS AND SOMEHOW THOUGHTLESSLY
00:21:28.90\00:21:35.76
I HAD ASSUMED THAT GOD
COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
00:21:35.76\00:21:38.93
OR MAYBE I DIDN'T
EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO SEE;
00:21:38.93\00:21:42.43
MAYBE I DIDN'T TAKE
THE TIME TO FIND OUT.
00:21:42.43\00:21:45.70
MAYBE SOMEBODY HERE RIGHT NOW
00:21:45.70\00:21:48.36
IS FACING A SITUATION
THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE.
00:21:48.36\00:21:55.46
WHAT I WANT TO SAY
TO YOU BEFORE YOU LEAVE
00:21:55.46\00:21:59.26
IS THAT GOD IS ABLE TO
STEP INTO YOUR EXISTENCE
00:21:59.26\00:22:05.30
AND SPEAK TO THE IMPOSSIBILITY.
00:22:05.30\00:22:09.13
SO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE ?
00:22:09.13\00:22:11.23
BUT GOD CAN MAKE
A WAY OUT OF NO WAY.
00:22:11.23\00:22:15.90
AND I KNOW YOU MAY HAVE COME
SIMPLY TO KIND OF ENCOURAGE US,
00:22:15.90\00:22:19.50
OR YOU MAY HAVE COME
TO BE PART OF HISTORY,
00:22:19.50\00:22:21.56
OR I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU CAME,
00:22:21.56\00:22:22.90
BUT NOW THE WHOLE
SITUATION HAS CHANGED.
00:22:22.90\00:22:26.06
GOD HAS STEPPED IN.
00:22:26.06\00:22:29.00
THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR
LIFE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TREATING
00:22:29.00\00:22:31.56
AS THOUGH IT'S IMPOSSIBLE,
WHEN IN FACT YOU SERVE A GOD
00:22:31.56\00:22:35.53
WHO IS SO POWERFUL THAT
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HIM.
00:22:35.53\00:22:39.73
IF GOD ALLOWS YOU TO
GO ALONG WITH A SITUATION,
00:22:39.73\00:22:43.03
THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING GOOD THERE FOR YOU
00:22:43.03\00:22:45.50
BECAUSE GOD IS
ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES.
00:22:45.50\00:22:48.93
SO IF YOU'RE
STILL LIVING WITH IT,
00:22:48.93\00:22:50.86
IT MUST BE THERE FOR
SOME REASON TO STRENGTHEN YOU,
00:22:50.86\00:22:53.73
TO BRING YOU ALONG, TO
HELP YOU TO SEE HIS POWER,
00:22:53.73\00:22:56.76
BECAUSE AS SOON
AS GOD GETS READY,
00:22:56.76\00:22:59.03
GOD CAN SPEAK TO YOUR
IMPOSSIBILITY AND MAKE A CHANGE.
00:22:59.03\00:23:02.66
I'M WONDERING JUST
NOW BEFORE WE CLOSE,
00:23:02.66\00:23:05.53
IS THERE SOMEONE HERE WHO'S
DEALING WITH IMPOSSIBILITY ?
00:23:05.53\00:23:08.63
WOULD YOU JUST
SLIP TO YOUR FEET NOW ?
00:23:08.63\00:23:10.60
DON'T WORRY NOW ABOUT CAMERAS,
00:23:10.60\00:23:12.46
THE CAMERAS ARE
NO LONGER A FACTION,
00:23:12.46\00:23:15.00
THAT'S NO LONGER AN ELEMENT,
00:23:15.00\00:23:16.20
LET'S NOT WORRY
ABOUT THAT ANYMORE.
00:23:16.20\00:23:18.16
YOU'VE GOT SOME SITUATION IN
YOUR LIFE THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE
00:23:18.16\00:23:21.50
AND TONIGHT YOU WANT TO GIVE IT
TO JESUS AND LET HIM TALK TO IT.
00:23:21.50\00:23:24.66
WOULD YOU JUST STAND UP ON
YOUR FEET WHEREVER YOU ARE ?
00:23:24.66\00:23:28.00
JUST SLIP TO YOUR FEET NOW.
00:23:28.00\00:23:30.43
LET GOD HAVE THE
IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.
00:23:30.43\00:23:32.66
SOMEBODY SAYS "WELL, THIS
ONE IS TOO SMALL PREACHER,
00:23:32.66\00:23:35.23
I DON'T THINK GOD IS
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ONE."
00:23:35.23\00:23:38.70
WELL YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT GOD IS CONCERNED ABOUT.
00:23:38.70\00:23:40.76
WE KNOW ONE THING, GOD
IS CONCERNED, ISN'T HE ?
00:23:40.76\00:23:44.70
WHAT SEEMS SMALL TO YOU
MAY NOT BE SMALL TO HIM.
00:23:44.70\00:23:48.30
THEN SOMEBODY SAYS, "WELL, I GOT
A SITUATION, BUT IT'S TOO BIG,
00:23:48.30\00:23:53.70
IT'S TOO GRAND." NOW I WONDER
HOW IN THE WORLD COULD YOU ME TO
00:23:53.70\00:23:56.13
THAT CONCLUSION WHEN WE HAVE
JUST SEEN GOD TAKE A VALLEY FULL
00:23:56.13\00:23:59.63
OF DRY BONES AND BRING
THE BONES BACK TO LIFE ?
00:23:59.63\00:24:02.76
WITH GOD, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
00:24:02.76\00:24:05.43
BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN
YOUR LIFE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO PUT
00:24:05.43\00:24:07.23
IN HIS HANDS TONIGHT, JUST SLIP
TO YOUR FEET BEFORE WE PRAY.
00:24:07.23\00:24:10.10
WE'RE ABOUT TO DO THAT RIGHT
NOW, JUST SLIP TO YOUR FEET.
00:24:10.10\00:24:13.26
NOT EVERYBODY IS IN
THIS, I'M AWARE OF IT,
00:24:13.26\00:24:15.36
BUT THERE MAY BE SOMEBODY
WHO BROUGHT SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE
00:24:15.36\00:24:17.63
TONIGHT AND I'D LIKE FOR
YOU TO TAKE IT HOME CONQUERED.
00:24:17.63\00:24:21.10
I'D LIKE FOR THE
WORDS OF GOD TO ADDRESS IT.
00:24:21.10\00:24:23.90
LET'S BOW TOGETHER AS WE PRAY.
00:24:23.90\00:24:26.13
FATHER IN HEAVEN TONIGHT,
WE HAVE COME IN YOUR NAME.
00:24:26.13\00:24:31.10
MANY OF US HAVE
BROUGHT IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS,
00:24:31.10\00:24:35.36
BUT WE HAVE BROUGHT THEM
TO A GOD  WITH WHOM NOTHING IS
00:24:35.36\00:24:41.23
IMPOSSIBLE. SOMEBODY IS
LISTENING TO THIS PRAYER,
00:24:41.23\00:24:43.43
SOMEONE IS PART
OF THIS PRAYER NOW
00:24:43.43\00:24:47.06
WHO'S PROBLEM HAS SEEMED
SO INTRACTABLE, SO NEFARIOUS,
00:24:47.06\00:24:53.83
AND RECALCITRANT
THAT IT WOULD NOT RESPOND.
00:24:53.83\00:24:57.13
SOMEBODY HAS A HABIT
THAT HAS BEEN SO STUBBORN
00:24:57.13\00:25:01.83
THAT PRAYER SEEMS
TO HAVE HAD NO EFFECT.
00:25:01.83\00:25:04.30
AND TONIGHT YET AGAIN WE BRING
IT TO YOU BECAUSE WE'VE JUST
00:25:04.30\00:25:07.90
LEFT A VALLEY
THAT'S FULL OF DRY BONES,
00:25:07.90\00:25:10.70
AND YOU MADE THOSE BONES LIVE.
00:25:10.70\00:25:12.90
AND OUR FAITH IS
TWEAKED, IT'S SPARKED NOW.
00:25:12.90\00:25:18.16
WE BRING OUR
IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION;
00:25:18.16\00:25:20.50
WE LIFT IT IN THE HAND OF FAITH.
00:25:20.50\00:25:22.46
AND WE ASK THAT A
GOD WHO IS ALL-POWERFUL
00:25:22.46\00:25:25.93
WOULD MAKE A DECISION
OVER THAT IMPOSSIBILITY.
00:25:25.93\00:25:29.30
AND IF GLORY AND HONOR CAN
BE BROUGHT TO THE NAME OF GOD,
00:25:29.30\00:25:32.90
THEN LET WHAT SEEMS
IMPOSSIBLE BECOME POSSIBLE
00:25:32.90\00:25:37.40
THROUGH THE POWER OF HEAVEN.
00:25:37.40\00:25:39.66
FATHER WE ASK THIS PRAYER,
00:25:39.66\00:25:42.13
WE TRUST FOR AN
ANSWER IN THIS PRAYER.
00:25:42.13\00:25:45.30
WE ARE EVEN SO FAITHFUL THAT WE
GIVE THANKS FOR THE ANSWER
BEFORE IT IS RECEIVED.
00:25:45.30\00:25:51.10
KNOWING THAT GOD IS
NOT A GENIE IN A BOTTLE
00:25:51.10\00:25:53.73
BUT GOD IS A FATHER
WHO KNOWS WHAT WE NEED.
00:25:53.73\00:25:56.80
SOMETIMES HE GIVES
US MORE THAN WE ASK,
00:25:56.80\00:26:00.13
HE SIMPLY WANTS US TO ASK.
00:26:00.13\00:26:02.46
SOMETIMES HIS ANSWER IS
NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WILL,
00:26:02.46\00:26:05.50
BUT WHEN WE TRUST IN OUR
FATHER, WE COME TO BELIEVE
00:26:05.50\00:26:08.80
THAT GOD WILL ONLY
GIVE US WHAT'S BEST FOR US.
00:26:08.80\00:26:11.76
SO WE THANK YOU
TONIGHT FOR THE PROPER ANSWER,
00:26:11.76\00:26:14.76
FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER,
FOR THE MERCIFUL ANSWER.
00:26:14.76\00:26:18.46
AND WE GO TONIGHT
DIFFERENT THAN WHEN WE CAME.
00:26:18.46\00:26:21.33
THAT IS OUR PRAYER IN THE NAME
OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON,
00:26:21.33\00:26:24.93
AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
LET EVERYONE SAY, "AMEN."
00:26:24.93\00:26:27.20
Announcer:  GOD IS
A HUMBLING MYSTERY.
00:26:29.96\00:26:32.36
BUT A MYSTERY ISN'T
SOMETHING WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
00:26:32.36\00:26:35.66
IT'S SIMPLY SOMETHING WE
DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT.
00:26:35.66\00:26:39.16
SOMETIME GOD PASSES BY
US AND WE DON'T SEE HIM.
00:26:39.16\00:26:43.20
WE LET THE WORLD GET IN THE WAY.
00:26:43.20\00:26:45.63
