JOIN US, NOW, AS PASTOR PEARSON
CONTINUES HIS MESSAGE FROM
00:00:10.80\00:00:14.53
FIRST SAMUEL, CHAPTER
2, ENTITLED, BAD BOYS.
00:00:14.53\00:00:17.83
WP: THERE ARE TWO
THINGS THAT I BELIEVE THE BIBLE
00:00:23.03\00:00:25.03
WILL SHOW YOU TONIGHT.
00:00:25.03\00:00:26.20
NUMBER ONE: THAT THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE THINGS
00:00:26.20\00:00:30.16
THAT ARE WORSE THAN YOU
HAVE DONE, WHO GOD STILL LOVES;
00:00:30.16\00:00:35.53
AND THAT GOD DOES NOT
LET ANYTHING CONTINUE TO GO
00:00:35.53\00:00:39.73
ON IN A WICKED FASHION.
00:00:39.73\00:00:41.66
GOD WILL STEP IN AT SOME POINT.
00:00:41.66\00:00:45.76
ARE WE TOGETHER ?
00:00:45.76\00:00:47.66
SO WATCH THIS.
00:00:47.66\00:00:49.80
THE PEOPLE START TALKING
AND THERE IS A FACT--I HAVE READ
00:00:49.80\00:00:53.70
THIS BOTH IN SACRED AND SECULAR
LITERATURE--THAT WHEN THE GOOD
00:00:53.70\00:00:58.60
PEOPLE GO BAD, IT SETS EVERYONE
ELSE FREE TO DO ANYTHING.
00:00:58.60\00:01:05.26
NOW THAT'S IMPORTANT TO
KNOW, BECAUSE IF THE FOLK AT THE
00:01:05.26\00:01:08.60
CHURCH START LOSING IT, WHAT
DO YOU THINK THE FOLK WHO NEVER
00:01:08.60\00:01:12.96
COME TO CHURCH ARE GOING TO-OF
COURSE, I KNOW YOU DON'T THINK
00:01:12.96\00:01:15.46
THEY KNOW, DO YOU ?
00:01:15.46\00:01:17.80
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
THEY'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER.
00:01:17.80\00:01:20.96
THEY ARE FOLK YOU DON'T EVEN
KNOW, BUT THEY'RE WATCHING YOU.
00:01:20.96\00:01:24.56
"IS THAT MY MAN GOING
DOWN THERE, MR. HOLY ?
00:01:24.56\00:01:30.50
WHERE IS THAT
HE'S COMING OUT OF ?"
00:01:30.50\00:01:32.90
AND YOU THINK YOU HAVE
GONE TO THE NO-TELL MOTEL,
00:01:32.90\00:01:41.10
BUT THERE ARE FOLK THAT
KNOW WHERE YOU OUGHT TO BE, AND
00:01:41.10\00:01:44.63
WHERE YOU OUGHT NOT TO BE.
00:01:44.63\00:01:46.80
YOU THINK THEY DON'T KNOW YOU,
BUT ONE DAY IT'LL POP UP, DON'T
00:01:46.80\00:01:49.30
WORRY ABOUT, YOU'LL BE AT
WORK AROUND SIPPING A LITTLE
00:01:49.30\00:01:52.40
SOMETHING WITH ALL THE REST OF
YOUR COHORTS, AND THEN SOMEBODY
00:01:52.40\00:01:55.16
WILL SAY, "HEY, DIDN'T I SEE YOU
THE OTHER DAY DOWN THERE BY...?
00:01:55.16\00:02:01.36
OH, I'M SORRY, MY BAD.
00:02:01.36\00:02:05.43
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER."
00:02:05.43\00:02:07.53
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE UP TO, AND WHEN YOU
00:02:07.53\00:02:10.50
LOSE IT, IT SLACKENS OFF
FOR EVERYONE, BUT THIS SITUATION
00:02:10.50\00:02:15.96
WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO
STAND, AND THE BIBLE IS CLEAR.
00:02:15.96\00:02:19.50
LOOK AT CHAPTER 2 OF
FIRST SAMUEL, AND WHEN YOU GO TO
00:02:20.36\00:02:23.53
VERSE 31, HERE IS THE MESSAGE
IS FROM GOD: "BEHOLD THE DAYS
00:02:23.53\00:02:31.00
COME THAT I WILL CUT OFF
THINE ARM (THIS IS TO ELI), THE
00:02:31.00\00:02:35.23
ARM OF THY FATHER'S
HOUSE, AND THERE SHALL NOT BE AN
00:02:35.23\00:02:38.86
OLD MAN IN THINE HOUSE."
00:02:38.86\00:02:42.60
LOOK AT VERSE 34, "AND THIS
SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO THEE THAT
00:02:42.60\00:02:46.56
SHALL COME UPON THY SONS HOPHNI
AND PHINEHAS IN ONE DAY THEY
00:02:46.56\00:02:52.06
SHALL DIE, BOTH OF THEM."
00:02:52.06\00:02:56.03
FOLK YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
THAT GOD IS CERTAINLY MERCIFUL,
00:02:57.00\00:03:00.96
BUT HE DOESN'T PLAY.
00:03:00.96\00:03:04.20
GOD IS SO MERCIFUL THAT EVERYONE
ONE OF US IS STILL SITTING
00:03:04.20\00:03:07.70
ERECT IN THIS WORSHIP SERVICE.
00:03:07.70\00:03:11.13
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT FROM
THE PULPIT TO THE DOOR, THERE
00:03:11.13\00:03:14.96
ARE ENOUGH IMPERFECTIONS IN US
THAT IF GOD DID NOT HAVE MERCY
00:03:14.96\00:03:20.40
BEYOND OUR IMAGINATION
THIS PLACE WOULD BE VERY QUIET.
00:03:20.40\00:03:26.03
IN FACT, THERE WOULD BE
NO UNDERTAKER TO COME AND GET
00:03:26.03\00:03:29.66
US, BECAUSE
UNDERTAKERS ARE ALSO IMPERFECT.
00:03:29.66\00:03:34.60
GOD IS MERCIFUL, BUT YOU CAN'T
CONTINUE AS THO HE DOESN'T CARE.
00:03:34.60\00:03:40.53
LISTEN, IN THAT SAME HOUSE, JUST
TO SHOW YOU HOW POWERFUL GOD
00:03:40.53\00:03:45.06
IS, THIS SAME LADY WHO CAME
AND SAID, "I WANT TO ASK YOU TO
00:03:45.06\00:03:49.06
TELL GOD TO GIVE ME A CHILD."
00:03:49.06\00:03:51.86
THIS WOMAN WENT HOME AND
IN A FEW WEEKS SHE KNEW THAT
00:03:51.86\00:03:57.30
A CHILD WAS ON THE WAY.
00:03:57.30\00:03:59.03
IN FACT, YOU OUGHT TO GO
SOMETIMES AND READ IN CHAPTER
00:03:59.03\00:04:01.30
1 OF FIRST SAMUEL WHAT
THIS WOMAN HANNAH HAS TO SAY.
00:04:01.30\00:04:04.73
SHE SAYS GOD WILL MAKE YOU
RICH OR GOD WILL MAKE YOU POOR.
00:04:04.73\00:04:08.50
GOD IS THE ONE WHO MAKES
PEOPLE WEALTHY, GOD IS THE
00:04:08.50\00:04:11.93
ONE WHO TAKES CARE OF
YOU AND ANSWERS YOUR PRAYERS.
00:04:11.93\00:04:14.96
IF YOU ARE FAITHFUL TO GOD,
GOD WILL BE FAITHFUL TO YOU.
00:04:14.96\00:04:18.66
THAT'S THE
ANSWER TO REAL WEALTH.
00:04:18.66\00:04:21.40
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT HAVING
A COUPLE OF QUARTERS TO RUB
00:04:21.40\00:04:23.86
TOGETHER; IF YOU WANT TO
BE SECURE, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE
00:04:23.86\00:04:27.10
A FUTURE, YOU MUST GIVE
YOUR LIFE INTO THE HANDS OF GOD.
00:04:27.10\00:04:31.23
DON'T LET THESE SORRY RASCALS
RIDING AROUND IN GOLD-PLATED
00:04:31.23\00:04:35.43
MERCEDES BENZ' FOOL YOU.
00:04:35.43\00:04:38.10
THEY'VE GOT GREAT
JOBS, BUT THERE'S NOBODY WHO
00:04:38.10\00:04:40.60
NEEDS A RETIREMENT PLAN.
00:04:40.60\00:04:43.30
THEY DON'T LIVE
LONG ENOUGH TO RETIRE.
00:04:43.30\00:04:46.80
SO THEY ENJOY FOR A FEW
MOMENTS GREAT WEALTH, AND
00:04:46.80\00:04:49.80
THEN THEY ARE GONE-NOBODY
TELLS YOU THEY'RE GONE; YOU
00:04:49.80\00:04:53.53
ONLY CELEBRATE THEIR WEALTH.
00:04:53.53\00:04:55.50
THE FACT IS THAT IF YOU
WANT TO HAVE THINGS THAT LAST,
00:04:55.50\00:04:59.00
IT IS GOD WHO GIVES THEM.
00:04:59.00\00:05:01.33
THIS WOMAN NOW COMES AND
BRINGS HER SON BACK, AND,
00:05:01.33\00:05:04.36
"HERE IS SOMETHING STRANGE.
00:05:04.36\00:05:07.10
I ALMOST WANT TO ASK GOD,
'WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS ?'"
00:05:07.10\00:05:11.66
THIS WOMAN PLEDGES TO
GOD, "I WILL BRING THE SON THAT
00:05:11.66\00:05:14.83
YOU GAVE ME AND I WILL
LET HIM WORK IN THE TEMPLE."
00:05:14.83\00:05:22.50
"NOT THIS TEMPLE !
00:05:25.86\00:05:28.00
DO YOU KNOW WHO
LIVES IN THIS TEMPLE ?"
00:05:28.00\00:05:30.63
BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING;
IN FACT, LET ME TELL YOU
00:05:30.63\00:05:32.76
WHAT YOUR PARENTS
THOUGHT BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO
00:05:32.76\00:05:35.83
INVEST IN YOUR EDUCATION.
00:05:35.83\00:05:38.76
THEY DECIDED THAT IF
YOU MAKE A DEAL WITH GOD,
00:05:38.76\00:05:41.83
GOD WON'T LET YOU DOWN.
00:05:41.83\00:05:43.26
GOD CANNOT FORCE YOUR CHILD
TO DO ANYTHING, BUT HE WILL
00:05:44.80\00:05:48.46
TRY EVERYTHING HE CAN TO
WOO THEM INTO THE RIGHT PATH.
00:05:48.46\00:05:53.06
AND SO THERE ARE PARENTS
WHO MAKE AMAZING SACRIFICES
00:05:53.06\00:05:56.83
BECAUSE THEY HAVE MADE AN
AGREEMENT WITH GOD, AND GOD
00:05:56.83\00:05:59.76
DOES NOT BREAK AGREEMENTS.
00:05:59.76\00:06:00.96
HE CANNOT FORCE PEOPLE TO
DO ANYTHING, BUT HE DOESN'T
00:06:00.96\00:06:03.56
BREAK AGREEMENTS, SO THIS WOMAN
AND HER HUSBAND BRING A CHILD
00:06:03.56\00:06:06.96
THAT IS AT OLDEST 15
YEARS OLD TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE
00:06:06.96\00:06:13.00
WITH HOPHNI AND PHINEHAS.
00:06:13.00\00:06:16.50
FORGIVE ME FOR A MOMENT, BUT I
CAN SEE THE DAY THAT HE ARRIVED.
00:06:16.50\00:06:23.06
"MOM, IS THIS,
IS THIS THE PLACE ?"
00:06:23.06\00:06:27.03
"YES, SON, YOU KNOW
WE'VE COME HERE A LOT
00:06:27.03\00:06:29.36
AND YOU REMEMBER ELI ?"
00:06:29.36\00:06:31.83
"YES, I REMEMBER.
00:06:31.83\00:06:33.36
MOM, DOES ELI
STILL HAVE THOSE SONS ?"
00:06:33.36\00:06:39.03
"WELL, WHY DO YOU ASK, SAMUEL ?"
00:06:39.03\00:06:42.23
"I DON'T KNOW.
00:06:42.23\00:06:43.16
YOU KNOW, I HEARD A
FEW THINGS ABOUT THEM.
00:06:43.16\00:06:45.03
DO YOU THINK I'M
GOING TO BE OKAY ?"
00:06:45.03\00:06:49.36
"YOU'LL BE OKAY, SON, NOT
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BAD KIDS,
00:06:49.36\00:06:53.40
BUT BECAUSE GOD IS ABLE."
00:06:53.40\00:06:56.50
BUT MOM GOTTA GO AFTER AWHILE.
00:06:56.50\00:06:59.30
"HEY, PHINEHAS, HAVE YOU SEEN
THAT LITTLE GUY DOWN THE HALL ?
00:06:59.30\00:07:05.33
A LITTLE OL' GUY WITH
WEEDS IN HIS HAIR, CAME FROM A
00:07:05.33\00:07:09.83
LITTLE TOWN WHERE THEY
ROLL UP THE SIDEWALKS AT ABOUT
00:07:09.83\00:07:12.36
7 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
00:07:12.36\00:07:14.30
LET'S GO HAVE
SOME FUN WITH HIM."
00:07:14.30\00:07:17.06
"HEY, MY MAN, YOUNGBLOOD,
WELCOME TO THE HOUSE.
00:07:17.06\00:07:24.20
YOU GOING TO BE
HERE FOR A WHILE ?
00:07:24.20\00:07:26.30
YOU GOING TO BLEND IN ?
00:07:26.30\00:07:28.43
WELL, LOOK, WE CAME DOWN TO
KIND OF GET YOU FAMILIAR WITH
00:07:28.43\00:07:31.46
WHAT GOES ON IN THE HOUSE.
00:07:31.46\00:07:32.83
HAVE YOU MET MY DADDY ?
00:07:32.83\00:07:35.20
DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM.
00:07:35.20\00:07:37.26
HE AIN'T IN THE MIX.
00:07:37.26\00:07:40.06
YOU KNOW WHO RUNS THIS PLACE ?
00:07:40.06\00:07:42.03
HIM AND ME, SO IF YOU'RE GOING
TO LIVE IN THIS PLACE, YOU'VE
00:07:42.03\00:07:45.73
GOT TO GET ALONG WITH US.
00:07:45.73\00:07:46.76
CAN YOU DEAL WITH THAT ?"
00:07:46.76\00:07:48.83
BUT SEE, WHEN YOU'VE BEEN
TRAINED BY PARENTS WHO KNEW
00:07:48.83\00:07:51.36
GOD, YOU DON'T REALLY GET
SCARED AFTER ALL THAT STUFF
00:07:51.36\00:07:55.60
BECAUSE YOU'VE LEARNED TO
KNOW THAT THERE IS A POWER
00:07:55.60\00:07:58.26
THAT IS TRANSCENDENT.
00:07:58.26\00:08:00.93
DO YOU KNOW THAT GOD CAN TAKE
CARE OF YOU IN ANY SITUATION ?
00:08:00.93\00:08:05.86
ON THE DAY OF 9/11,
THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE
00:08:05.86\00:08:10.03
SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.
00:08:10.03\00:08:12.70
SOME OF THEM
STOPPED FOR A WHILE.
00:08:12.70\00:08:15.86
SOME OF THEM GOT PHONE CALLS.
00:08:15.86\00:08:17.90
SOME OF THEM WENT IN AND
MADE PHONE CALLS OUT, AND GAVE
00:08:17.90\00:08:21.43
THEM PEACE BECAUSE HE WOULD
NOT DELIVER THEM, BUT SOME OF
00:08:21.43\00:08:24.96
THEM WERE ON THE WRONG FLOOR,
COULD NOT BE SAVED, BUT THE
00:08:24.96\00:08:30.46
POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
CODDLED THEM AND PROTECTED
00:08:30.46\00:08:35.03
THEM AND THEY CAME OUT OF
THAT CONFLAGRATION STILL SAFE.
00:08:35.03\00:08:42.10
GOD IS ABLE TO
DELIVER YOU FROM ANYWHERE.
00:08:42.10\00:08:46.56
SO IF YOU'VE GOT JESUS
IN YOUR HEART, YOU OUGHT NOT
00:08:46.56\00:08:49.53
TO WALK AROUND SCARED.
00:08:49.53\00:08:52.13
THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH
US; WE GIVE A BAD EXAMPLE.
00:08:52.13\00:08:54.73
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT
ALL CHRISTIANS GO AROUND LIKE
00:08:54.73\00:08:56.86
DEER CAUGHT IN HEADLIGHTS.
00:08:56.86\00:09:00.30
MAN, WHEN YOU'VE GOT SOME HOLY
GHOST POWER IN YOUR LIFE, IT
00:09:00.30\00:09:03.86
GIVES YOU A HOLY BOLDNESS.
00:09:03.86\00:09:06.73
IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU STUPID.
00:09:06.73\00:09:08.90
AMEN ?
00:09:08.90\00:09:11.13
WHEN I GO TO A BIG
TOWN, I KNOW HOW TO ACT.
00:09:11.13\00:09:13.73
I DON'T GO AROUND
LOOKING AT TALL BUILDINGS.
00:09:13.73\00:09:17.56
I PUT MY STREET FACE
ON IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:09:17.56\00:09:23.43
WHAT I WANT THEM TO THINK
IS, "IS THAT THE ONE YOU WANT
00:09:23.43\00:09:25.70
TO BOTHER WITH ?"
00:09:25.70\00:09:27.43
I SAY, "LORD, SHINE THROUGH
THIS STREET FACE I'M PUTTING ON.
00:09:27.43\00:09:33.20
EVERYTHING ALRIGHT ?"
00:09:33.20\00:09:38.00
SO YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR WITS,
YOU JUST LEARN TO TRUST IN GOD.
00:09:38.00\00:09:44.30
THIS LITTLE BOY IS SAFE.
00:09:44.30\00:09:45.56
IN FACT, SAMUEL, IN THE
SAME SITUATION--LET ME TELL YOU
00:09:45.56\00:09:49.40
SOMETHING--IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND
TALKING ABOUT, "WANT TO SEE THE
00:09:49.40\00:09:51.70
REASON WHY I'M LIKE I AM ?
00:09:51.70\00:09:53.63
IT'S BECAUSE I
NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
00:09:53.63\00:09:56.03
MY MOTHER WASN'T NO GOOD, MY
DADDY WASN'T NO GOOD, I CAME UP
00:09:56.03\00:09:58.90
IN A HOUSE THAT JUST DIDN'T HAVE
ANY RULES, I NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
00:09:58.90\00:10:03.00
THE REASON WHY I'M LIKE I AM,
THE REASON WHY I DID IT, YOUR
00:10:03.00\00:10:05.90
HONOR, IS BECAUSE NOBODY
WAS THERE TO TELL ME ANYTHING."
00:10:05.90\00:10:11.43
BUT HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO TELL
YOU--IF SAMUEL COULD GROW UP
00:10:11.43\00:10:14.36
IN THAT SAME HOUSE WITH HOPHNI
AND PHINEHAS, AND SAMUEL CAME
00:10:14.36\00:10:18.06
OUT PURE, AND HOPHNI
AND PHINEHAS WERE ALL MESSED
00:10:18.06\00:10:21.30
UP, THEN GOD CAN BRING YOU OUT
OF ANYWHERE AND STILL MAKE YOU
00:10:21.30\00:10:26.40
A CHILD AFTER HIS OWN HEART.
00:10:26.40\00:10:28.96
GOD CAN BRING YOU UP PURE
AND UNTOUCHED BY THE SITUATION.
00:10:28.96\00:10:34.53
IT'S NOT THE SITUATION THAT
COUNTS; IT'S WHO YOU BELIEVE
00:10:34.53\00:10:38.43
IN THAT COUNTS.
00:10:38.43\00:10:40.00
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP
YOUR HAND IN GOD'S HAND.
00:10:40.00\00:10:43.93
THAT LITTLE BOY WAS NOT
SHAKEN BY HOPHNI OR PHINEHAS.
00:10:43.93\00:10:46.80
HE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING,
BUT HE STUCK TO WHAT HE KNEW
00:10:46.80\00:10:49.80
WAS RIGHT AND HE DID FINE.
00:10:49.80\00:10:51.90
BUT GOD SAID TO ELI, "I'M COMING
DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE AND THERE ARE
00:10:51.90\00:10:55.20
NOT GOING TO BE ANY OLD PEOPLE."
00:10:55.20\00:10:57.80
IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET
SCIENTIST TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
00:10:57.80\00:11:02.13
WHEN ELI HEARD THAT, HE WAS
APPROACHING HIS 90'S, AT LEAST.
00:11:02.13\00:11:06.56
WHEN HE DIED HE WAS 98, BUT
GOD SAID, AND REMEMBER OLD WAS
00:11:06.56\00:11:10.96
DIFFERENT IN THOSE DAYS--THESE
DAYS IF YOU GOT A MESSAGE THAT
00:11:10.96\00:11:13.73
SAYS YOU WILL NOT HAVE
ANY OLD MEN IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
00:11:13.73\00:11:16.10
PROBABLY WILL NOT REACH 98.
00:11:16.10\00:11:18.50
IN THOSE DAYS YOU COULD DO 98,
BUT GOD SAYS, "THERE WON'T BE
00:11:18.50\00:11:21.56
ANY OLD MEN, AND IN ONE DAY,
ELI, BECAUSE I'VE GIVEN YOU ALL
00:11:21.56\00:11:25.60
THIS TIME AND YOU WOULDN'T
STRAIGHTEN UP--IN ONE DAY, YOUR
00:11:25.60\00:11:29.46
SONS ARE GOING TO BE GONE."
00:11:29.46\00:11:31.10
AND HERE'S HOW IT WENT.
00:11:31.10\00:11:33.03
THESE SONS DID FINE.
00:11:33.03\00:11:35.83
IT SEEMED LIKE THEY WOULD NEVER
GET CAUGHT, AND I WANT TO TELL
00:11:35.83\00:11:39.56
YOU SOMETHING THAT IS AS TRUE
AS I KNOW IT TO BE--YOU CANNOT
00:11:39.56\00:11:46.86
WITH IMPUNITY DISOBEY GOD.
00:11:46.86\00:11:51.93
AND I KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK
AROUND YOU AND SAY, "LOOK WHAT'S
00:11:51.93\00:11:55.63
HAPPENING WITH THESE HIGH
PEOPLE, WITH THESE FOLK GO WAY
00:11:55.63\00:11:58.80
UP, GOT ALL THIS POWER, I THINK
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE IT.
00:11:58.80\00:12:03.13
IN FACT, I THINK IF YOU USE
YOUR HEAD AND IF YOU'RE KIND
00:12:03.13\00:12:05.76
OF CUNNING, YOU CAN MAKE IT."
00:12:05.76\00:12:07.63
I'VE GOT SOME NEWS
FOR YOU--YOU CAN'T.
00:12:07.63\00:12:10.33
GOD MAY NOT COME WHEN
YOU THINK HE'S COMING, BUT ON
00:12:10.33\00:12:14.23
TIME, THAT'S WHAT HE'LL BE.
00:12:14.23\00:12:17.26
MY WIFE AND I MOVED
INTO AN APARTMENT WHEN WE
00:12:17.26\00:12:19.86
JUST GOT MARRIED.
00:12:19.86\00:12:20.93
WE PUT ALL OUR MONEY
TOGETHER AND GOT A LITTLE FUNNY
00:12:20.93\00:12:23.86
LOOKING CAR--IT WAS THE
BEST THAT WE COULD AFFORD.
00:12:23.86\00:12:27.06
UPSTAIRS FROM US THERE
WAS A GENTLEMAN WHO HAD A NEW
00:12:27.06\00:12:29.53
LUXURY CAR EVERY WEEK.
00:12:29.53\00:12:33.23
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A REGULAR
LUXURY--WAY BACK IN THOSE DAYS,
00:12:33.23\00:12:36.26
YOU KNOW, A CADILLAC WAS RARE-HE
HAD ONE THIS WEEK, AND THEN NEXT
00:12:36.26\00:12:40.20
WEEK HE WOULD HAVE AN IMPERIAL.
00:12:40.20\00:12:43.50
THEN THE NEXT WEEK, HE WOULD
HAVE A VOLVO, AND THEN THE NEXT
00:12:43.50\00:12:46.90
WEEK HE WOULD HAVE A JAGUAR, AND
THEN THE NEXT WEEK HE WOULD HAVE
00:12:46.90\00:12:52.20
A MERCEDES BENZ, AND THEN THE
NEXT WEEK HE WOULD HAVE A BMW.
00:12:52.20\00:12:56.40
I DIDN'T WANT TO ASK HIM RIGHT
OUT WHAT HE WAS DOING, BUT I
00:12:56.40\00:12:58.86
SAID, "WHY AM I DRIVING THIS
FUNNY LOOKING LITTLE CAR, AND
00:12:58.86\00:13:03.26
JESUS IS ALL IN MY LIFE.
00:13:03.26\00:13:05.73
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING;
YOU MUST BE REALLY CLOSE TO GOD
00:13:05.73\00:13:08.43
TO BE DRIVING CARS LIKE THAT."
00:13:08.43\00:13:10.63
THERE WERE TIMES
WHEN I WANTED TO ASK HIM.
00:13:10.63\00:13:13.40
WELL, I KEPT ON LOOKING,
AND IN FACT, I DISCOVERED
00:13:13.40\00:13:15.60
FROM, YOU KNOW, THE WATER
FOUNTAIN GOSSIP, THAT HIS JOB
00:13:15.60\00:13:21.60
WAS NOT ALTOGETHER LEGAL.
00:13:21.60\00:13:25.76
I'LL GIVE YOU A
MOMENT TO CATCH ME.
00:13:25.76\00:13:30.86
THEN I BEGAN TO PRAY
DAVID'S PRAYER, "WHY DO
00:13:30.86\00:13:33.56
THE WICKED PROSPER ?"
00:13:33.56\00:13:35.93
YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU
EVER PRAYED THAT ONE ?
00:13:35.93\00:13:38.43
AT LEAST ASK IT, "WHY IS IT THAT
EVERYBODY WHO DOES SOMETHING
00:13:38.43\00:13:40.60
BAD GOT EVERYTHING THEY WANT.
00:13:40.60\00:13:43.46
I'M WALKING AROUND HERE LIKE
ALL FUNNY, WEARING CLOTHES FROM
00:13:43.46\00:13:45.83
K-MART AND WALMART, AND THESE
PEOPLE GOT DESIGNER CLOTHES ON,
00:13:45.83\00:13:50.00
THEY'RE DRIVING ANYTHING THEY
WANT TO DRIVE, THEY'RE LIVING
00:13:50.00\00:13:52.23
ANYWHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE,
I'M LIVING IN SOME LITTLE SORRY
00:13:52.23\00:13:54.40
APARTMENT, CAN'T GET ANYTHING
DONE, AND I'VE GOT JESUS.
00:13:54.40\00:13:57.76
I'M HOLDING ONTO THE WORD.
00:13:57.76\00:13:59.26
WHAT IS IT ?
00:13:59.26\00:14:00.43
HOW COME THEY'VE GOT
ALL THAT AND I GOT THIS ?"
00:14:00.43\00:14:03.16
WELL, WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO
UNDERSTAND IS THAT GOD CAN
00:14:03.16\00:14:05.13
TAKE THIS AND MAKE IT
MORE ENJOYABLE THAN THAT.
00:14:05.13\00:14:12.50
GOD CAN MAKE YOUR APARTMENT,
YOUR LITTLE CHEAP APARTMENT
00:14:12.50\00:14:18.80
WITH PAINT THAT DOESN'T MATCH;
HE CAN MAKE YOUR APARTMENT
00:14:18.80\00:14:23.40
A PLACE WHERE ANGELS DWELL.
00:14:23.40\00:14:26.00
HE CAN DROP A LITTLE PIECE
OF HEAVEN DOWN IN THE PLACE
00:14:26.00\00:14:29.26
WHERE YOU LIVE.
00:14:29.26\00:14:30.56
YOU MAY HAVE NOBODY TO HELP YOU,
BUT GOD CAN MAKE IT SO THAT WITH
00:14:30.56\00:14:34.83
NO HELP THAT'S VISIBLE HE
CAN SUPPLY ALL OF YOUR NEEDS.
00:14:34.83\00:14:38.86
AND YOU MAY THINK
YOU'VE GOT A FUNNY-LOOKING CAR;
00:14:38.86\00:14:40.83
I'VE DISCOVERED THAT SOME
FUNNY-LOOKING CARS ARE JUST
00:14:40.83\00:14:43.10
LIKE THE BIG-TIME CARS,
THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE NAME.
00:14:43.10\00:14:47.26
I'VE GOT ONE OF THEM.
00:14:47.26\00:14:49.33
IT LOOKS LIKE A
TOYOTA, BUT IT'S A LEXUS.
00:14:49.33\00:14:54.06
I CHECKED WITH
THE GUYS WHO MAKE IT.
00:14:54.06\00:14:56.30
I SAID, "MAN, WHAT DO
YOU THINK ABOUT THIS CAR ?"
00:14:56.30\00:14:58.26
HE SAID, "THAT'S A
LEXUS IN DISGUISE."
00:14:58.26\00:15:03.23
I SAID, "YOU GO
ON, JESUS, YOU GO ON.
00:15:04.16\00:15:09.26
GOT ME A LEXUS IN DISGUISE.
00:15:09.26\00:15:12.53
AND WHEN THE GUY WITH THE LEXUS
GOES DOWN FOR SERVICE, HE'S GOT
00:15:12.53\00:15:14.66
TO PAY THREE TIMES THAN I DO.
00:15:14.66\00:15:17.36
I'M DRIVING A LEXUS, BUT MY
SERVICE PAYMENTS ARE VERY LOW.
00:15:17.36\00:15:20.86
IT'S A LEXUS IN DISGUISE.
00:15:21.83\00:15:23.13
WHY DON'T YOU LET
GOD HANDLE THAT STUFF ?
00:15:23.13\00:15:27.10
SO WHAT GOD DOES IS BEGIN
TO MOVE, AND HE HAS GIVEN ELI
00:15:27.10\00:15:31.80
AS MUCH TIME AS YOU CAN GET.
00:15:31.80\00:15:34.63
AND NOW HE SAYS
IT'S TIME TO MOVE.
00:15:34.63\00:15:36.63
SO WHAT HAPPENS IS ON A
CERTAIN DAY, THE FOLK GET
00:15:36.63\00:15:40.00
TOGETHER AND SAY, "WE
ARE SICK OF THE PHILISTINES.
00:15:40.00\00:15:43.63
THEY ARE ALWAYS
AROUND GIVING US TROUBLE.
00:15:43.63\00:15:48.23
LET'S GO OUT AND FIGHT THEM."
00:15:48.23\00:15:51.33
REMEMBER IN THE DAYS OF
OLD, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY WHO
00:15:51.33\00:15:53.60
REMEMBERS--IF WE WERE TO
GO OUT THERE AND FIGHT THEM,
00:15:53.60\00:15:56.26
GOD WOULD BE WITH US.
00:15:56.26\00:15:58.93
WE'D BEAT 'EM UP AND
NOBODY WOULD BE LEFT, SEE.
00:15:58.93\00:16:02.20
LET'S GO DO IT.
00:16:02.20\00:16:04.03
ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS
LITTLE SITUATION IS THAT
00:16:04.03\00:16:05.96
GOD HAD NOT SENT THEM.
00:16:05.96\00:16:08.40
IF GOD DOESN'T SEND
YOU; DON'T GO, DON'T GO.
00:16:08.40\00:16:14.16
HOLD ON; WAIT TILL HE SAYS GO.
00:16:14.16\00:16:16.83
IF GOD SENDS YOU, YOU CAN GET
IN TROUBLE AND SAY, "HEY, LORD."
00:16:16.83\00:16:22.23
I'VE READ WHERE THE OLD
PATRIARCHS USED TO PRAY TO GOD
00:16:22.23\00:16:26.10
WITH THEIR FISTS IN THE AIR,
DEMANDING THAT HE COME THROUGH
00:16:26.10\00:16:29.76
WITH WHAT HE HAD PROMISED,
BUT IF GOD DIDN'T PROMISE
00:16:29.76\00:16:31.83
IT, YOU'D BETTER KEEP
YOUR FIST WHERE IT BELONGS.
00:16:31.83\00:16:36.83
SO THEY GO OUT TO FIGHT
THE PHILISTINES AND THEN DO THE
00:16:36.83\00:16:39.63
BEST THEY CAN, AND WHEN
THEY COME BACK AT THE END OF THE
00:16:39.63\00:16:42.03
BATTLE, THERE ARE 4,000 DEAD.
00:16:42.03\00:16:47.63
SO SOMEBODY'S SMART--YOU'VE
ALWAYS GOT TO HAVE, "I
00:16:47.63\00:16:50.36
KNOW WHAT IT WAS."
00:16:50.36\00:16:53.16
"WELL, WHAT WAS IT ?"
00:16:53.16\00:16:54.56
"YOU KNOW WHEN WE USED TO FIGHT
ALL THE TIME, WHAT DID WE HAVE
00:16:54.56\00:16:57.10
WITH US--NOT EVERYBODY AT ONCE.
00:16:57.10\00:17:01.00
WE USED TO ALWAYS HAVE
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:17:01.00\00:17:04.03
SO WHY DON'T WE GO GET IT
FROM SHILOH AND THEN GO FIGHT."
00:17:04.03\00:17:07.96
"HOLD IT, EXCUSE ME, SIR, JUST
ONE QUESTION, WHEN WE HAD THE
00:17:07.96\00:17:12.33
ARK WITH US, WASN'T IT GOD WHO
HAD TOLD US TO TAKE THE ARK."
00:17:12.33\00:17:18.16
"WELL, SEE, YOU'RE
BRINGING UP TECHNICALITIES."
00:17:18.16\00:17:23.36
"COULD I ASK ONE MORE
QUESTION, I'VE GOT A FOLLOW UP.
00:17:23.36\00:17:25.83
WHO IS GOING TO GO GET THE ARK ?
00:17:25.83\00:17:30.40
BECAUSE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY,
AND I HAVE READ IN THE SCROLLS
00:17:30.40\00:17:34.63
AND IT SAYS IF YOU GO IN THERE
AND TOUCH THAT STUFF AND GOD
00:17:34.63\00:17:37.10
DID NOT CLEANSE YOU AND
GOD DID NOT SEND YOU, THAT
00:17:37.10\00:17:40.60
YOU'LL DROP DEAD."
00:17:40.60\00:17:43.10
"WELL, SEE, THAT'S THE PROBLEM
WITH YOU, YOU'RE ALWAYS ON
00:17:43.10\00:17:45.93
LITTLE TECHNICALITIES.
00:17:45.93\00:17:47.83
YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER, BUT WE'VE
GOT SOME FRIENDS AT THE TEMPLE.
00:17:47.83\00:17:51.80
WE GOT MY MAN HOPHNI AND
WE GOT MY MAN PHINEHAS, AND
00:17:51.80\00:17:57.46
THEY LIVE IN THE TEMPLE."
00:17:57.46\00:17:59.13
"WELL, I'VE GOT
ONE MORE QUESTION."
00:17:59.13\00:18:00.86
"NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO
TAKE ANY MORE QUESTIONS."
00:18:00.86\00:18:02.50
"WELL, I JUST WANT TO
KNOW, ARE THEY WORTHY TO GO INTO
00:18:02.50\00:18:05.20
THE MOST HOLY PLACE ?"
00:18:05.20\00:18:08.30
"AH, I'M NOT GOING TO ANSWER ANY
MORE QUESTIONS FROM YOU BECAUSE
00:18:08.30\00:18:10.83
I CAN TELL YOU JUST DON'T
WANT TO GO-THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.
00:18:10.83\00:18:14.63
I'D LIKE TO SEND SOMEBODY OVER
AND ASK HOPHNI AND PHINEHAS IF
00:18:14.63\00:18:17.36
THEY WOULD BRING THE ARK."
00:18:17.36\00:18:18.56
NOW FOLK, LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING--YOU'VE GOT TO FORGIVE
00:18:18.56\00:18:21.26
ME, I LOVE READING THE BIBLE.
00:18:21.26\00:18:23.23
I GET EXCITED READING THE BIBLE,
BUT I CAN SEE PEOPLE GETTING
00:18:23.23\00:18:27.23
READY TO DO SOME THINGS, AND I
WANT TO SCREAM BACK IN HISTORY.
00:18:27.23\00:18:32.00
I WANT MY VOICE TO TRAVEL
EONS, BACK WHERE THEY ARE.
00:18:32.00\00:18:35.30
I WANT TO WARN
THEM-HOPHNI, PHINEHAS !
00:18:35.30\00:18:40.76
YOU BETTER READ
BEFORE YOU DO THAT !
00:18:40.76\00:18:45.76
BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT
TO BE STRAIGHT WITH GOD.
00:18:45.76\00:18:48.60
WHEN THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD GO
IN ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, HE
00:18:48.60\00:18:51.16
HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING
WAS RIGHT WITH GOD OR WHEN HE
00:18:51.16\00:18:54.00
STEPPED IN THAT PLACE, HE WOULD
FALL IN THAT PLACE, FOR IN THAT
00:18:54.00\00:18:59.56
TINY COMPARTMENT, THERE WAS
NOT ONLY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:18:59.56\00:19:06.10
AARON'S ROD THAT BUDDED, A
POT OF MANNA, BUT ABOVE THAT
00:19:06.10\00:19:10.86
GOLDEN CAP WERE
ANGELS WHO VEIL THEIR FACES.
00:19:10.86\00:19:17.10
IT WAS THE MERCY SEAT, AND LOOK,
YOU OUGHT TO PAUSE A MINUTE TO
00:19:17.10\00:19:20.73
SAY THAT GOD HAS A LAW AND HIS
LAW IS HIGH AND HOLY, BUT HE'S
00:19:20.73\00:19:26.33
GOT MERCY THAT IS ABOVE THE LAW.
00:19:26.33\00:19:30.10
IF LAW WERE NOT COVERED
BY MERCY, YOU AND I WOULDN'T
00:19:30.10\00:19:33.80
HAVE A CHANCE.
00:19:33.80\00:19:36.10
BUT LAW IS COVERED BY MERCY AND
THOSE ANGELS VEIL THEIR FACES,
00:19:36.10\00:19:41.26
AND BETWEEN THOSE ANGELS THERE
IS A LIGHT OF NO HUMAN KINDLING.
00:19:41.26\00:19:45.83
IT'S NOT A LIGHT
WITH ANY SOURCE OF POWER.
00:19:45.83\00:19:49.00
THERE'S NO WAY TO
PUT OIL TO THAT LIGHT.
00:19:49.00\00:19:51.50
THERE IS NO
IGNITION FOR THAT LIGHT.
00:19:51.50\00:19:53.83
IT IS LIGHT THAT REPRESENTS
THE PRESENCE OF GOD ALMIGHTY.
00:19:53.83\00:19:58.46
IT IS THE SHEKINAH GLORY,
AND THAT'S WHY JUST ANYBODY
00:19:58.46\00:20:02.20
COULDN'T GO IN THERE.
00:20:02.20\00:20:04.00
IN FACT, DURING THE NIGHT
AT THE CAMP OF ISRAEL, YOU
00:20:04.00\00:20:06.16
COULD LOOK OVER AT THE
TABERNACLE AND YOU COULD SEE
00:20:06.16\00:20:08.80
A LIGHT, AND YOU KNEW THAT
THERE WAS NO WIRE RUNNING IN.
00:20:08.80\00:20:12.40
THE WIRES WEREN'T EVEN IN YET.
00:20:12.40\00:20:13.66
THERE WAS NO OIL RUNNING
IN, THERE WAS NO IGNITION
00:20:13.66\00:20:16.20
GOING THERE.
00:20:16.20\00:20:17.56
IT WAS THE LIGHT THAT
REPRESENTED THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:20:17.56\00:20:22.90
AND THEY SEND OVER TO HOPHNI
AND PHINEHAS AND SAY, "WE'D
00:20:22.90\00:20:28.33
LIKE Y'ALL TO GET THE ARK
AND BRING IT ON OUT HERE."
00:20:28.33\00:20:35.73
YOU KNOW I WONDER, YOU'VE
GOT TO FORGIVE ME--DID THEY
00:20:35.73\00:20:38.46
EVEN SAY, "HEY, PHINEHAS,
WHAT DO YOU THINK, MAN ?
00:20:38.46\00:20:44.80
YOU READ THAT STUFF, DIDN'T YOU?
00:20:44.80\00:20:46.90
YOU THINK WE'RE GOING
TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS ?
00:20:46.90\00:20:49.73
YOU KNOW, YOU AND ME HAVE
BEEN THROUGH SOME STUFF, BUT I
00:20:49.73\00:20:53.73
REMEMBER READING THAT IF YOU
GO IN THERE--WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
00:20:53.73\00:21:00.46
I TELL YOU WHAT, WHY
DON'T YOU GO IN THERE FIRST ?"
00:21:00.46\00:21:05.50
"AH, BROTHER, WE'RE
GOING IN THERE TOGETHER.
00:21:05.50\00:21:07.40
OKAY, GET THAT SIDE OF
THAT CURTAIN, YEAH, ALL RIGHT,
00:21:07.40\00:21:11.40
I'M GOING TO
COUNT-" "WELL, YOU KNOW THAT
00:21:11.40\00:21:13.90
LIGHT IS IN THERE.
00:21:13.90\00:21:15.30
CAN YOU SEE IT A LITTLE BIT ?"
00:21:15.30\00:21:16.73
"YEAH, BUT WE'RE
GOING ON IN HERE."
00:21:16.73\00:21:19.36
AND THEY PULLED BACK
THAT CURTAIN, AND LET ME TELL
00:21:19.36\00:21:22.96
YOU SOMETHING I WANT YOU
TO KNOW ABOUT MY GOD--GOD
00:21:22.96\00:21:26.70
IS ABOUT JUSTICE, BUT
HE'S ALSO ABOUT MERCY.
00:21:26.70\00:21:34.40
HIS MERCY IS JUST AS
FLEET OF FOOT AS IS HIS JUSTICE.
00:21:34.40\00:21:40.46
HIS JUSTICE WILL NOT ROLL
UP INTO YOUR TERRITORY WITHOUT
00:21:40.46\00:21:43.93
MERCY COMING BESIDE IT.
00:21:43.93\00:21:46.80
NOW YOU TELL ME HOW TWO SORRY,
NO-GOOD PRIESTS, SO CALLED,
00:21:46.80\00:21:54.73
CAN PULL BACK THOSE CURTAINS
AND LOOK AT THAT CONTAINER
00:21:54.73\00:21:58.83
WITHOUT DROPPING DEAD.
00:21:58.83\00:22:01.06
WELL, I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING
WRITTEN ABOUT IT, SO LET
00:22:01.06\00:22:04.06
ME JUST TELL YOU WHAT
I'VE LEARNED ABOUT GOD.
00:22:04.06\00:22:07.10
IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO
SAVE YOU, GOD WILL DO IT.
00:22:07.10\00:22:11.96
IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU
CAN DO, EVEN IF HE MUST AT
00:22:11.96\00:22:15.30
SOME TIME BEND THE RULES
THAT ARE HIS MAKING, IF HE
00:22:15.30\00:22:20.33
CAN SAVE YOU, HE WILL.
00:22:20.33\00:22:22.23
EVEN IF YOU ARE A SON WHO IS NO
GOOD, GOD CAN SEE GOOD IN YOU,
00:22:22.23\00:22:28.56
AND WHEN THOSE TWO GUYS WENT IN
THERE, THEY SHOULD HAVE DROPPED
00:22:28.56\00:22:31.46
DEAD, BUT PERHAPS IT WAS GOD
HOPING THAT WHEN THEY SAW THAT
00:22:31.46\00:22:36.56
LIGHT, THAT WHEN THEY SAW THOSE
ANGELS VEILING THEIR FACES, THAT
00:22:36.56\00:22:41.26
WHEN THEY SAW THE LORD, GOD,
THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBEYING,
00:22:41.26\00:22:44.50
THAT WHEN THEY SAW THE MERCY
SEAT, THAT WHEN THEY SAW AARON'S
00:22:44.50\00:22:48.00
ROD, THAT WHEN THEY SAW THOSE
ARTICLES LIKE THE POT OF MANNA,
00:22:48.00\00:22:53.63
THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAVE SHOT
THROUGH THEIR HEARTS LIKE AN
00:22:53.63\00:22:57.13
ELECTRIC CHARGE-MAYBE GOD HOPED
WITH ALL THAT HE HAD IN HIM,
00:22:57.13\00:23:02.40
THAT THERE WAS STILL SOME
WAY TO SAVE THESE SORRY BOYS.
00:23:02.40\00:23:08.56
HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO YOU
AT THIS VERY MOMENT--GOD IS MORE
00:23:08.56\00:23:13.26
MERCIFUL THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.
00:23:13.26\00:23:16.23
EVERYBODY LISTENING TO ME
NOW CAN THINK OF A TIME WHEN YOU
00:23:16.23\00:23:20.46
DID SOMETHING UNTHINKABLE.
00:23:20.46\00:23:23.43
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
THING THAT YOU TALK ABOUT WHEN
00:23:23.43\00:23:25.50
YOU GO TO PRAYER MEETINGS.
00:23:25.50\00:23:27.26
"I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE
MY TESTIMONY, PASTOR."
00:23:27.26\00:23:32.16
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO
HEAR THAT ONE, AGAIN, BECAUSE
00:23:32.16\00:23:34.26
YOU ONLY TELL THE
ONE WHERE YOU LOOK GOOD.
00:23:34.26\00:23:36.83
YOU DON'T TELL
THE ONE THAT'S REAL.
00:23:36.83\00:23:39.50
YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE OF STORIES
YOU WON'T EVEN TELL YOUR MOTHER.
00:23:39.50\00:23:42.36
YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE OF STORIES
YOU CERTAINLY ARE NOT GOING
00:23:42.36\00:23:45.03
TO TELL YOUR HUSBAND OR
YOUR WIFE, BECAUSE YOU DON'T
00:23:45.03\00:23:47.90
LOOK GOOD IN THE STORY.
00:23:47.90\00:23:49.16
YOU COME OUT LOOKING REALLY BAD.
00:23:49.16\00:23:51.66
BUT GOD DID NOT TAKE
YOUR LIFE, AS HE SHOULD HAVE.
00:23:51.66\00:23:55.43
INSTEAD, HE SPARED YOUR
LIFE TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY
00:23:55.43\00:23:59.33
TO COME BACK TO HIM.
00:23:59.33\00:24:00.53
AND WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO
YOU IN THIS MOMENT WHEN I HOPE
00:24:00.53\00:24:03.83
YOU ARE THOUGHTFUL IS
THIS: THAT GOD CHASES BAD BOYS.
00:24:03.83\00:24:12.16
IF GOD ONLY WENT AFTER
GOOD KIDS, WHO WOULD HE CHASE ?
00:24:12.16\00:24:18.40
IF GOD ONLY WENT AFTER PERFECT
PEOPLE, WHO WOULD HE FIND ?
00:24:18.40\00:24:23.83
IF GOD ONLY WENT AFTER
PEOPLE WHO DESERVED TO BE SAVED,
00:24:23.83\00:24:28.23
WHO WOULD IT BE ?
00:24:28.23\00:24:30.73
GOD IS LEFT TO DO WHAT HE
HAS PROMISED HE WOULD DO--HE HAS
00:24:30.73\00:24:35.73
COME THROUGH CHRIST TO SEEK AND
SAVE THE LOST, AND IF YOUR MIND
00:24:35.73\00:24:42.26
IS OPEN ENOUGH, LET ME TELL
YOU THAT YOU HAVE NOT PASSED THE
00:24:42.26\00:24:46.96
POINT WHERE HE CAN REACH YOU.
00:24:46.96\00:24:50.96
IN FACT, IF YOU WOULD LET THIS
BE YOUR REALITY MOMENT, GOD IS
00:24:50.96\00:24:55.73
WILLING TO COME WHERE YOU ARE.
00:24:55.73\00:24:58.90
HE KNOWS WHAT YOU'VE DONE--NOT
ONLY KNOWS WHAT YOU'VE DONE,
00:24:58.90\00:25:02.73
BUT WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE
DONE IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY,
00:25:02.73\00:25:07.50
BUT HE LOVES YOU ENOUGH
TO GIVE YOU MERCY ENOUGH TO
00:25:07.50\00:25:11.70
MAKE A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:25:11.70\00:25:13.66
GOD BLESS YOU.
