(theme music) WP:
MEN ARE QUITE VULNERABLE.
00:00:18.50\00:00:25.06
I DON'T WANT TO PUT US DOWN, BUT
WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THE STORY
00:00:25.06\00:00:27.60
OF ADAM AND EVE, WHAT I WANT
TO SAY IS THAT IF I HAD SEEN EVE
00:00:27.60\00:00:30.40
COMING BACK, LOOKING FUNNY,
YOU KNOW I WOULD WANT TO THINK I
00:00:30.40\00:00:43.50
WOULD SAY, "EVE, WHERE YOU BEEN?
00:00:43.50\00:00:47.40
YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE
YOU DID WHEN YOU LEFT.
00:00:47.40\00:00:50.26
WHERE DID YOU GO ?
00:00:50.26\00:00:52.50
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OVER--YOU'VE
BEEN OVER THERE BY THAT TREE.
00:00:52.50\00:00:59.73
TURN AROUND, LET ME
SEE YOU IN THE LIGHT, GL."
00:00:59.73\00:01:08.66
HERE'S WHAT I WOULD WANT TO SAY,
"EVE, YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE; I GOT
00:01:08.66\00:01:13.06
TO GO TALK TO GOD FOR A MINUTE."
00:01:13.06\00:01:19.26
BUT MEN ARE OFTEN VERY
SUSCEPTIBLE TO STORIES.
00:01:19.26\00:01:22.30
SOMETIMES, BRETHREN, WE
LISTEN TO THINGS THAT WOMEN
00:01:22.30\00:01:24.43
SAY ACTING LIKE WE
DON'T HAVE A MIRROR AT HOME.
00:01:24.43\00:01:29.63
"HOW YOU DOING ?
00:01:29.63\00:01:31.50
YOU ALL BUFFED
UP AND EVERYTHING."
00:01:31.50\00:01:37.16
SO WHEN THEY SAY THAT TO YOU...
00:01:37.16\00:01:44.30
"I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU NOTICED THAT."
00:01:44.30\00:01:47.86
"WHAT YOU BEEN DOING,
PUMPING IRON OR SOMETHING ?"
00:01:47.86\00:01:49.73
"WELL, YOU KNOW...I
DON'T DO IT MUCH, BUT I'M JUST
00:01:49.73\00:01:53.96
KIND OF NATURALLY THAT WAY."
00:01:53.96\00:01:57.63
SOME WOMAN WILL HAVE YOU ALL
TIED UP TELLING YOU THINGS THAT
00:01:57.63\00:02:01.10
HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH TRUTH,
AND ALL THEY'RE DOING IS TRYING
00:02:01.10\00:02:06.23
TO FIND SOMEBODY TO GO TO SOME
LITTLE PLACE, AND THEN THEY'LL
00:02:06.23\00:02:09.93
HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL YOU,
"NOT NOW, NOW LET ME ASK YOU
00:02:09.93\00:02:12.60
SOMETHING--I HOPE YOU
DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY.
00:02:12.60\00:02:15.86
WHEN YOU GET WITH MY FRIENDS,
MANY OF THEM ARE VERY EDUCATED,
00:02:15.86\00:02:21.93
AND SOME OF THEM COME FROM
FAMILIES WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY
00:02:21.93\00:02:25.96
TREAT ENGLISH LIKE IT'S SOME
SPECIAL ENTRY EXAM, AND THEY CAN
00:02:25.96\00:02:32.40
SPOT ANY FLAW IN YOUR SYNTAX.
00:02:32.40\00:02:36.73
SO I HOPE YOU DON'T
MISUNDERSTAND, BUT WHEN WE
00:02:36.73\00:02:39.26
GET AROUND THEM, COULD I
ASK YOU JUST NOT TO SAY A LOT ?
00:02:39.26\00:02:46.53
"NO, YOU CAN SAY LIKE, HELLO.
00:02:46.53\00:02:50.76
THAT WOULD BE OKAY.
00:02:50.76\00:02:52.50
BUT IF THEY ASK YOU ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT LIKE CURRENT
00:02:52.50\00:02:54.90
EVENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT, YOU JUST ACT LIKE YOU KIND
00:02:54.90\00:02:58.03
OF CHOKED OR YOU'RE SNEEZING
OR SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT ?"
00:02:58.03\00:03:01.83
AND THEY TELL YOU, "YOU KNOW
SOMETHING, IF YOU STICK WITH ME,
00:03:02.80\00:03:05.33
I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T HAD MANY
ADVANTAGES, BUT CAN YOU TELL
00:03:05.33\00:03:08.33
THAT I'M ON YOUR WAVE LENGTH ?
00:03:08.33\00:03:10.36
CAN YOU TELL WHAT I COULD DO
WITH YOU IF I HAD THE CHANCE ?
00:03:10.36\00:03:13.63
MAN, I KNOW PLACES
WHERE YOU COULD GET HEALED.
00:03:13.63\00:03:18.56
I KNOW A PLACE
WHERE WATER MOVES.
00:03:19.46\00:03:22.10
YOU WANT TO GO WITH ME ?
00:03:22.10\00:03:23.73
C'MON BRO, LET ME TAKE YOU
ON DOWN THERE; YOU WON'T KNOW
00:03:23.73\00:03:26.86
YOURSELF WHEN YOU GET BACK."
00:03:26.86\00:03:31.16
AND SHE'S DOWN THERE WITH YOU,
TOO, AT LEAST TWO OR THREE DAYS.
00:03:31.16\00:03:35.73
AND THEN AFTER WHILE,
"HEY, HEY, YOU KNOW SOMETHING ?
00:03:35.73\00:03:39.86
CAN YOU SEE THAT
YOUNG LADY RIGHT UP THERE ?
00:03:39.86\00:03:42.53
WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER.
00:03:42.53\00:03:44.30
YOU KNOW WHAT ?
00:03:44.30\00:03:45.36
I'D LIKE TO JUST GO UP
THERE AND MAYBE TALK WITH HER.
00:03:45.36\00:03:48.00
I THINK I COULD GET UP THERE
IN, WHAT, ABOUT HALF AN HOUR ?
00:03:48.00\00:03:51.86
COULD I RUN ON UP THERE
AND JUST KIND OF SAY 'HEY!' TO
00:03:51.86\00:03:54.63
HER AND COME ON BACK ?
00:03:54.63\00:03:58.13
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, BUT I
JUST NEED TO GO FOR A MINUTE.
00:03:58.13\00:04:01.93
I'M GOING TO BE RIGHT BACK."
00:04:01.93\00:04:07.23
AND THERE YOU ARE, BROTHER,
AND DON'T THINK IT CAN'T HAPPEN.
00:04:07.23\00:04:10.50
AND I KNOW BROTHERS ARE VERY,
VERY RELUCTANT TO ADMIT THAT
00:04:10.50\00:04:13.46
IT HAPPENED TO US, SO
NOT ONE BROTHER OUT THERE IS
00:04:13.46\00:04:16.36
GOING TO GIVE ME ANY
LOVE ON THIS POINT I'M MAKING.
00:04:16.36\00:04:20.00
YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND BE
QUIET AND UNDERSTAND THAT
00:04:20.00\00:04:23.10
WE KNOW EACH OTHER.
00:04:23.10\00:04:26.23
HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US.
00:04:26.23\00:04:27.76
BUT YOU ARE ABANDONED.
00:04:27.76\00:04:29.43
THE PAIN IS NOT THAT THEY
LIED SO MUCH; IT'S THAT THEY
00:04:29.43\00:04:33.93
TOOK YOU ON SOME STRANGE
JOURNEY THAT HAD NO REAL END.
00:04:33.93\00:04:38.66
AND THEN WHEN YOU WERE THERE
BELIEVING, THEY ABANDONED YOU.
00:04:38.66\00:04:43.06
I BELIEVE THAT THERE
ARE WIVES WHO ARE ABANDONED
00:04:43.06\00:04:46.16
DOWN BY THE POOL.
00:04:46.16\00:04:48.66
I BELIEVE THAT SOME MAN
TOLD YOU WHAT HE WOULD DO IF YOU
00:04:48.66\00:04:51.10
WOULD TRUST IN HIM--TOLD
YOU HE WOULD MAKE YOU A STAR.
00:04:51.10\00:04:55.63
"COULD YOU JUST HELP
ME GET MY DEGREE FIRST ?
00:04:55.63\00:05:02.16
WELL, I'M DOWN YOUR STREET NOW.
00:05:02.16\00:05:05.46
AND IF YOU HELP ME WITH MINE,
GIRL, AS SOON AS I START RAKING
00:05:05.46\00:05:08.96
IN THAT BIG MONEY, ANY
DEGREE YOU WANT, YOU HEAR ME ?
00:05:08.96\00:05:13.33
GET A DOUBLE IF YOU WANT
TO, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ?
00:05:13.33\00:05:16.16
I'LL BE ON THAT
TUITION, WHATEVER YOU NEED.
00:05:16.16\00:05:19.63
CAN YOU GO WITH
ME ON THAT PLAN ?"
00:05:19.63\00:05:22.53
AND AS SOON AS YOU HAVE
PUT ALL OF YOUR EFFORT AND ALL
00:05:22.53\00:05:27.66
OF YOUR STRENGTH INTO IT,
THEN ONE DAY HE COMES HOME
00:05:27.66\00:05:31.23
AFTER IT'S ALL DONE AND
SAYS, "YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT
00:05:31.23\00:05:33.86
THIS TO COME OUT WRONG.
00:05:33.86\00:05:37.40
I JUST FEEL LIKE I'VE
OUTGROWN THIS SITUATION.
00:05:40.86\00:05:45.10
YOU KNOW, THE LOVE WE
HAD--I DON'T THINK ANYTHING CAN
00:05:45.10\00:05:51.16
DIMINISH THAT, BUT IT'S JUST
THAT, UH, HOW CAN I SAY, THE
00:05:51.16\00:05:55.30
C@ALLENGE IS NOT STILL THERE.
00:05:55.30\00:05:58.63
AND I'VE GOT SOME FOLK THAT
I COULD GO WITH AND, YOU KNOW,
00:06:00.30\00:06:03.53
WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY BREAKING UP;
DON'T LOOK AT IT AS A BREAK UP.
00:06:03.53\00:06:07.60
I'M--I JUST NEED TO
GO WITH THEM FOR A WHILE.
00:06:07.60\00:06:11.03
YOU SEE WHAT'S
GOING ON UP THERE ?
00:06:11.03\00:06:13.00
THAT'S WHAT I'M
TRAINED TO DO NOW.
00:06:13.00\00:06:14.86
COULD I JUST GO UP
THERE FOR A WHILE ?
00:06:14.86\00:06:17.13
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
00:06:17.13\00:06:18.56
I JUST NEED TO GO FOR A
WHILE AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK."
00:06:18.56\00:06:25.20
AND BROTHERS, THERE ARE SOME
WOMEN WHO WILL DO IT TO YOU.
00:06:25.20\00:06:30.50
ALL THEY WANT IS A MAN TO
FINANCE THE FRONT END OF THEIR
00:06:30.50\00:06:34.73
CAREER, NOT THE WHOLE CAREER.
00:06:34.73\00:06:38.86
THEY JUST NEED YOU TO SUPPLY
THAT DEGREE THEY DIDN'T PICK UP.
00:06:38.86\00:06:42.90
THEY'VE ALREADY GOT EVERY ONE;
ALL THEY NEED IS THAT M-R-S.
00:06:42.90\00:06:48.90
Y'ALL A LITTLE SLOW.
00:06:48.90\00:06:53.50
"YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE DON'T SEE
EYE-TO-EYE ON EVERYTHING, BUT
00:06:53.50\00:06:57.43
LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO
GROW TOGETHER--YOU UNDERSTAND
00:06:57.43\00:06:59.60
WHAT I'M SAYING ?
00:06:59.60\00:07:00.73
WE'RE GOING TO GROW TOGETHER AND
IN A FEW YEARS, NOBODY'S GOING
00:07:00.73\00:07:02.83
TO BE ABLE TO TELL WHAT THE
BACKGROUNDS WERE, BECAUSE WE'RE
00:07:02.83\00:07:06.10
JUST GOING TO BE LIKE THAT.
00:07:06.10\00:07:07.33
WE'RE GOING TO BE INSEPARABLE."
00:07:07.33\00:07:10.73
BUT THEN SHE'S GONE AND
THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST THE
00:07:10.73\00:07:14.30
PAIN OF THE LIES, OR THE
PAIN OF THE SPENT ENERGY.
00:07:14.30\00:07:20.13
IT'S THAT THERE YOU ARE
IN A PLACE WHERE YOU EXPECTED
00:07:20.13\00:07:23.06
HEALING, BUT INSTEAD
YOU HAVE BEEN ABANDONED.
00:07:23.06\00:07:27.83
YOU HAVE NOBODY.
00:07:27.83\00:07:30.23
AND WHAT THE MAN IS
SAYING IS THIS--JESUS, I KNOW
00:07:30.23\00:07:33.93
WHOEVER YOU ARE--HE
DOESN'T KNOW HIS NAME, YET.
00:07:33.93\00:07:37.56
HERE YOU ARE BENDING OVER
ME; I WANT TO BELIEVE, BUT I
00:07:37.56\00:07:40.83
DON'T HAVE ANYBODY.
00:07:40.83\00:07:42.80
HERE HE IS, WANTING SOMEBODY TO
TAKE HIM TO WATER THAT PROBABLY
00:07:42.80\00:07:47.10
MEANS NOTHING, WHEN THE ONE WHO
BENDS OVER HIM HAS THE POWER TO
00:07:47.10\00:07:51.50
SNATCH AWAY ALL THE VARIABLES.
00:07:51.50\00:07:55.16
JESUS DOES NOT TAKE YOU THROUGH
THE HOOPS; YOU DON'T NEED
00:07:55.16\00:07:59.50
ANYBODY TO LIFT YOU
UP TO BRING YOU TO JESUS.
00:07:59.50\00:08:03.13
JESUS WILL COME WHERE YOU ARE !
00:08:03.13\00:08:08.70
AND WHEN HE COMES, HE
BRINGS HEALING WITH HIM.
00:08:08.70\00:08:11.76
SO JESUS DOES NOT COME
TO SAY, "LET ME PICK YOU UP
00:08:11.76\00:08:14.06
AND TAKE YOU TO THE WATER."
00:08:14.06\00:08:15.26
JESUS HAS COME TO MAKE
A VERY TERSE DECLARATION,
00:08:15.26\00:08:18.93
AND HERE IT IS.
00:08:18.93\00:08:20.96
HE BENDS OVER AND SAYS, "RISE,
TAKE UP YOUR BED, AND WALK."
00:08:20.96\00:08:29.10
LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENS THEN.
00:08:29.10\00:08:31.96
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU CAN
GET YOUR BRAIN AROUND THIS OR
00:08:31.96\00:08:34.10
NOT, BECAUSE IT'S TOO SIMPLE.
00:08:34.10\00:08:35.20
EVERYBODY, WHEN THEY
HEAR STUFF LIKE THIS, THEY
00:08:35.20\00:08:37.16
WANT LONG FORMULAE.
00:08:37.16\00:08:39.86
BUT WHEN JESUS
SPEAKS, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
00:08:39.86\00:08:41.86
LONG AND CONVOLUTED.
00:08:41.86\00:08:43.70
HE SAYS, "RISE, TAKE
UP YOUR BED, AND WALK."
00:08:43.70\00:08:47.80
HE DID NOT SAY,
"NOW, IN A MINUTE I'M GOING
00:08:47.80\00:08:51.10
TO SAY SOME WORDS TO YOU.
00:08:51.10\00:08:52.16
WHEN I SAY THEM TO YOU,
BECAUSE I AM THE SON OF GOD
00:08:52.16\00:08:54.96
IN HUMAN FLESH; I HAVE
LAID DOWN MY POWER, BUT I STILL
00:08:54.96\00:08:57.93
HAVE THE ABILITY TO CALL
ON MY FATHER ABOVE, AND HE CAN
00:08:57.93\00:09:01.56
RELAY POWER TO ME THAT I CAN
DISPENSE TO YOU, AND BECAUSE I
00:09:01.56\00:09:05.36
WAS THE CREATOR, AND MY FATHER
CAN MAKE ME ONCE AGAIN HAVE
00:09:05.36\00:09:09.40
THAT SAME CREATING POWER,
I HAVE THE POWER TO BRING YOU
00:09:09.40\00:09:12.93
BACK TO WHERE YOU OUGHT TO BE."
00:09:12.93\00:09:14.36
JESUS DIDN'T GO
THROUGH ALL THAT.
00:09:14.36\00:09:16.03
IF YOU NEED THAT
KIND OF EXPLANATION, YOU
00:09:16.03\00:09:17.96
DON'T NEED JESUS.
00:09:17.96\00:09:21.03
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
WHO ARE TOO COMPLICATED
00:09:21.03\00:09:25.86
TO GET HEALED BY JESUS.
00:09:25.86\00:09:27.93
ALL YOU NEED TO DO WHEN
JESUS SPEAKS IS TO BELIEVE !
00:09:27.93\00:09:35.16
LISTEN, THE WORDS OF JESUS SPOKE
SUDDEN POWER INTO THAT MAN'S
00:09:35.16\00:09:43.46
BODY--EVERY MUSCLE, EVERY NERVE
OF HIS BODY THRILLED WITH THE
00:09:43.46\00:09:51.30
POWER OF THE WORDS OF JESUS !
00:09:51.30\00:09:55.20
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WHEN HE LOOKED UP IN HIS FACE,
00:09:55.20\00:09:57.50
HE FELT LOVE AND POWER.
00:09:57.50\00:09:59.20
HE FELT JESUS BREATHING THE
POWER THAT WAS SUFFICIENT TO
00:09:59.20\00:10:02.40
GET HIM UP, SO HE DID NOT
EXAMINE THE WORDS, HE DID NOT
00:10:02.40\00:10:06.60
START A FEASIBILITY STUDY,
HE SIMPLY BELIEVED AND OBEYED.
00:10:06.60\00:10:14.76
NOW, I'VE TALKED TO MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE TRAINED
00:10:14.76\00:10:17.56
IN THIS THING, AND HERE'S WHAT
THEY SAY, "PASTOR, IF YOU'VE
00:10:17.56\00:10:20.26
BEEN PARALYZED FOR 38
YEARS, IT'S A NIGHTMARE FOR
00:10:20.26\00:10:25.36
A PHYSICAL THERAPIST."
00:10:25.36\00:10:27.53
HE SAID, "ANYBODY WHO'S
BEEN PARALYZED THAT LONG,
00:10:27.53\00:10:29.53
THE MUSCLES HAVE ATROPHIED,
AND THEY'VE TURNED INWARD."
00:10:29.53\00:10:34.63
IN FACT, MOST OF THEM AGREE THAT
THIS MAN WAS IN ALMOST A FETAL
00:10:34.63\00:10:39.96
POSITION, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
MUSCLES DO THAT ARE NOT USED.
00:10:39.96\00:10:45.06
HIS KNEES HAD
PULLED UP TO HIS ABDOMEN.
00:10:45.06\00:10:48.30
HIS ARMS HAVE
FOLDED AROUND EACH OTHER.
00:10:48.30\00:10:50.46
HIS HANDS, IF THEY MOVE AT ALL,
ONLY TREMBLE FROM TIME TO TIME.
00:10:50.46\00:10:55.46
AND HE LOOKS LIKE AN OLD BABY.
00:10:55.46\00:10:59.93
AND THERE'S NOTHING
THAT CAN HAPPEN FOR HIM.
00:10:59.93\00:11:02.43
NOTHING.
00:11:02.43\00:11:03.46
MOST DOCTORS WHO WOULD LOOK
AT HIM WOULD SAY, "NO, LET'S
00:11:03.46\00:11:06.40
WORK ON SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:11:06.40\00:11:08.46
THERE'S NO HOPE FOR HIM."
00:11:08.46\00:11:10.40
BUT ALL JESUS HAD TO DO WAS
TO GO TO HIS BED AND SAY THOSE
00:11:10.40\00:11:14.83
SIMPLE WORDS, AND ALL THAT
MAN HAD TO DO WAS TO SEIZE THE
00:11:14.83\00:11:20.36
POWER OF THE WORDS, AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN, THROUGH HIS BODY
00:11:20.36\00:11:25.20
WENT A CHARGE OF POWER THAT
DID MORE THAN 10,000 PHYSICAL
00:11:25.20\00:11:30.06
THERAPISTS COULD HAVE DONE
IN 10 YEARS BECAUSE IT WAS JESUS
00:11:30.06\00:11:34.26
SPEAKING, IT WAS BELIEF TAKING
HOLD, AND IT WAS OBEDIENCE
00:11:34.26\00:11:38.70
MAKING THE POWER HAPPEN.
00:11:38.70\00:11:40.53
SO A MAN WHO
CAN'T GET UP GETS UP.
00:11:40.53\00:11:45.30
IN FACT, THERE WAS NO STUMBLING.
00:11:45.30\00:11:46.93
THERE WAS NOBODY
THERE TO HELP HIM.
00:11:46.93\00:11:49.26
JESUS DID NOT REACH OUT
AND SAY, "LET ME HELP YOU."
00:11:49.26\00:11:51.80
HE HAD ALREADY SAID THE
WORDS THAT COULD MAKE HIM WALK.
00:11:51.80\00:11:54.36
IN FACT, HE HAD THE POWER
AT THAT MOMENT, NOT ONLY TO
00:11:54.36\00:11:56.80
WALK, BUT TO RUN, TO LEAP.
00:11:56.80\00:12:01.20
AND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME
OF YOU SAYING, "SEE, THAT'S
00:12:01.20\00:12:03.70
THE REASON WHY I
DON'T BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE."
00:12:03.70\00:12:05.50
AND THAT'S THE REASON
YOU CAN'T GET ANY HELP !
00:12:05.50\00:12:10.93
BECAUSE YOU'RE SO
SMART, YOU KNOW SO MUCH.
00:12:10.93\00:12:16.63
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, WHEN
YOU COME TO JESUS, YOU'VE GOT
00:12:16.63\00:12:18.86
TO HAVE CHILD-LIKE FAITH.
00:12:18.86\00:12:21.70
MY WIFE WILL TELL YOU
THAT THERE WAS TIME WHEN I WAS
00:12:21.70\00:12:25.16
IN A SWIMMING POOL.
00:12:25.16\00:12:26.76
MY LITTLE BOY HAD
NO IDEA ABOUT SWIMMING.
00:12:26.76\00:12:29.53
IN FACT, I'D HAD HIM ON MY
BACK FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS,
00:12:29.53\00:12:32.50
AND WE WERE HAVING A BALL.
00:12:32.50\00:12:33.46
I SAID, "SON, LET ME
TAKE YOU OVER HERE AND PUT YOU
00:12:33.46\00:12:35.63
DOWN SO DADDY CAN SWIM."
00:12:35.63\00:12:37.46
AND IT, YOU KNOW,
SOUNDED LIKE HE AGREED.
00:12:37.46\00:12:39.40
HE SAID, "OKAY."
00:12:39.40\00:12:40.40
SO I TOOK HIM AND SET HIM DOWN
BY HIS MOM AND I WENT BACK OUT
00:12:40.40\00:12:42.96
AND I STARTED SWIMMING.
00:12:42.96\00:12:44.93
WELL, MY WIFE LOOKED AWAY FOR
JUST WHAT FELT LIKE A SECOND,
00:12:44.93\00:12:47.96
AND EVIDENTLY HE HAD NOT
UNDERSTOOD THE DIRECTION I
00:12:47.96\00:12:52.66
GAVE HIM, SO HE GOT UP, CAME
BACK AND JUMPED IN THE WATER.
00:12:52.66\00:12:57.66
LITTLE BITTY GUY;
DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE
00:12:57.66\00:13:00.20
CONCEPT OF SWIMMING.
00:13:00.20\00:13:01.46
THE ONLY THING HE KNEW WAS
HIS DADDY WAS IN THE WATER.
00:13:01.46\00:13:07.70
AW, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME,
BECAUSE--SO HE JUST GOT IN THE
00:13:07.70\00:13:13.40
WATER, STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN
SWALLOWING WATER WITH A SMILE ON
00:13:13.40\00:13:18.56
HIS FACE, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT
THERE WAS NO WAY IN THE WORLD HE
00:13:18.56\00:13:23.70
COULD DROWN IN THAT WATER WHILE
HIS DADDY WAS IN THAT WATER.
00:13:23.70\00:13:30.03
AND I THANK GOD THAT BEFORE HE
WENT DOWN TOO MANY TIMES, I WENT
00:13:30.03\00:13:34.03
OVER AND GRABBED MY
LITTLE DROWNING, SMILING SON.
00:13:34.03\00:13:39.63
AND WHEN I GRABBED HIM,
THERE WAS NO FEAR IN HIS FACE.
00:13:39.63\00:13:43.06
WHEN HE FINALLY GOT ALL THAT
WATER OUT OF HIS MOUTH, HE SAID,
00:13:43.06\00:13:45.53
"DADDY ! DADDY !
00:13:45.53\00:13:48.06
I CAME BACK !"
00:13:48.06\00:13:50.23
THE FACT IS THAT IF YOU BELIEVE,
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:13:50.23\00:13:58.63
WHAT MAKES ME ANGRY IS THAT
WE HAVE COME TO A TIME WHERE
00:13:58.63\00:14:01.46
NOBODY BELIEVES ANYMORE.
00:14:01.46\00:14:05.70
HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO TELL
YOU--THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE
00:14:05.70\00:14:08.40
WORST TROUBLE ARE NOT THE WOMEN
WHO HAVE BEEN MISTREATED BY MEN
00:14:08.40\00:14:11.93
AND ABANDONED, OR THE MEN WHO
HAVE BEEN MISTREATED BY WOMEN
00:14:11.93\00:14:14.93
AND ABANDONED, OR EVEN
THE HUSBANDS OR THE WIVES--THE
00:14:14.93\00:14:18.56
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE
WORST TROUBLE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO
00:14:18.56\00:14:21.76
WENT DOWN THERE WITH
SOMEBODY WHO WASN'T A FRIEND.
00:14:21.76\00:14:28.03
THEY FOLLOWED
THE DEVIL DOWN THERE.
00:14:28.03\00:14:31.80
AND DON'T YOU TELL ME THE
DEVIL DOESN'T MAKE GOOD OFFERS.
00:14:31.80\00:14:35.46
YOU KNOW, I HEAR PEOPLE
ALL THE TIME ACTING LIKE
00:14:35.46\00:14:37.43
IT'S STUPID TO SIN.
00:14:37.43\00:14:38.86
WELL, IT IS, BUT
IT'S SWEET UP FRONT.
00:14:38.86\00:14:42.36
IF SIN WERE NOT SWEET FOR A
LITTLE WHILE NOBODY WOULD SIN.
00:14:42.36\00:14:48.43
COME ON FOLKS !
00:14:48.43\00:14:50.66
I ALREADY KNEW WHO YOU ARE.
00:14:50.66\00:14:52.36
YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE FOOLING
ME LIKE YOU'RE ALL HOLY AND
00:14:52.36\00:14:56.13
SANCTIFIED AND BEYOND SIN.
00:14:56.13\00:14:58.70
ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME
SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD,
00:14:58.70\00:15:01.76
SO WHY DON'T YOU GO
AHEAD AND GET REAL AND SAY YOU
00:15:01.76\00:15:03.60
FOLLOWED HIM A COUPLE
OF TIMES, YOURSELF, BECAUSE
00:15:03.60\00:15:06.80
HE DOES MAKE GOOD OFFERS.
00:15:06.80\00:15:09.13
"YOU COME ON.
00:15:09.13\00:15:10.06
LOT OF PEOPLE GOT IN
TROUBLE, BUT YOU'RE SLICK.
00:15:10.06\00:15:13.53
I CAN LOOK AT YOU AND TELL
YOU'LL NEVER GET IN TROUBLE.
00:15:13.53\00:15:15.83
YOU'RE TOO SMART
TO LET THEM CATCH YOU.
00:15:15.83\00:15:17.76
COME ON."
00:15:17.76\00:15:19.50
NOW HERE YOU ARE GOING, "YOU
REALLY THINK I'M TOO SMART ?"
00:15:19.50\00:15:21.20
"YOU'RE TOO SMART.
00:15:21.20\00:15:22.03
I CAN LOOK AT YOU,
LOOK AT YOUR FACE, LOOK AT
00:15:22.03\00:15:25.16
THE SHAPE OF YOUR HEAD.
00:15:25.16\00:15:29.93
YOU'RE SMART.
00:15:29.93\00:15:31.36
COME ON.
00:15:31.36\00:15:32.93
YOU KNOW, ANYBODY AS
SMART AS YOU; WE'LL HAVE SOME
00:15:32.93\00:15:35.03
SERIOUS GOOD TIMES !"
00:15:35.03\00:15:36.73
AND THERE YOU GO.
00:15:36.73\00:15:37.86
YOU'RE FOLLOWING HIM AND
HE TAKES YOU AND YOU SAY,
00:15:39.36\00:15:41.56
"WHERE ARE WE GOING ?"
00:15:41.56\00:15:42.46
"WE'RE GOING
SOMEWHERE WHERE WATER MOVES."
00:15:42.46\00:15:48.93
"NO, NO, NO, THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
00:15:48.93\00:15:52.30
SEE, I READ A STORY
LIKE THAT A LONG TIME AGO.
00:15:52.30\00:15:54.50
I DON'T THINK YOU WERE IN IT."
00:15:54.50\00:15:55.46
"YEAH, BUT SEE SOMETIMES
YOU CAN READ THAT STUFF
00:15:56.73\00:15:59.03
AND GET CONFUSED.
00:15:59.03\00:16:01.73
WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL
YOU IS I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU
00:16:01.73\00:16:05.63
TO WHERE THE WATER MOVES.
00:16:05.63\00:16:08.33
YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEALED.
00:16:08.33\00:16:14.36
THERE YOU GO.
00:16:14.36\00:16:15.60
WELL, COME ON THEN."
00:16:15.60\00:16:18.36
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
FOLLOW THE DEVIL DOWN THERE ?
00:16:18.36\00:16:22.00
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU ?
00:16:22.00\00:16:23.63
WHAT HOPE DO YOU HAVE ?
00:16:23.63\00:16:25.86
BUT THE FACT IS THAT WE
FIND OURSELVES LOCKED IN
00:16:25.86\00:16:31.23
SIN, NOT BECAUSE WE DETERMINE
TO BE SINNERS, ALTHOUGH
00:16:31.23\00:16:35.40
ANYBODY, EVEN ATHEISTS,
DON'T WANT TO BE SINNERS.
00:16:35.40\00:16:40.80
THEY DON'T BELIEVE
IN THAT WHOLE THING.
00:16:40.80\00:16:43.03
ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS
ENJOY SELF-DETERMINATION.
00:16:43.03\00:16:46.80
NOBODY WANTS TO BE A
SINNER, BUT YOU FOLLOW HIM DOWN
00:16:46.80\00:16:50.43
THERE, IT'S KIND OF DIFFERENT
WITH HIM, BECAUSE WHEN HE
00:16:50.43\00:16:54.76
TURNS ON YOU, IT'S UGLY.
00:16:54.76\00:16:57.83
"HEY, LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING--HOW ARE YOU
00:16:57.83\00:17:00.30
ENJOYING YOURSELF DOWN HERE ?
00:17:00.30\00:17:02.40
PEOPLE BEEN
TRAMPLING OVER YOUR HEAD.
00:17:02.40\00:17:05.40
FOLKS BEEN
STEPPING ON YOUR BACK.
00:17:05.40\00:17:08.00
I WAS CHECKING YOU OUT
THERE THE OTHER DAY; ABOUT 24
00:17:08.00\00:17:10.16
PEOPLE ROLLED OVER YOUR BACK.
00:17:10.16\00:17:13.66
WERE YOU THINKING WHILE
THEY WERE STEPPING ON YOU THAT
00:17:13.66\00:17:15.90
I HAD LIED TO YOU ?
00:17:15.90\00:17:18.60
SO IT DAWNED ON YOU THAT
I DIDN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY
00:17:18.60\00:17:20.73
THE TRUTH, DID IT ?
00:17:20.73\00:17:22.30
DID A BELL RING IN
THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD ?
00:17:22.30\00:17:24.33
DID YOU THINK YOU
MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS SMART
00:17:24.33\00:17:26.46
AS I TOLD YOU YOU WERE ?
00:17:26.46\00:17:27.76
AND HERE YOU ARE DOWN HERE
WITH ME, AND GUESS WHAT, YOU'RE
00:17:27.76\00:17:30.90
RIGHT; I'M NOT IN THIS STORY.
00:17:30.90\00:17:32.96
THIS IS NOT A
STORY THAT I CAN CONTROL.
00:17:32.96\00:17:36.76
AND SINCE YOU'RE DOWN HER
WITH ME, I CAN TELL YOU THAT
00:17:36.76\00:17:39.00
YOUR PLIGHT IS
PRACTICALLY WITHOUT HOPE."
00:17:39.00\00:17:45.63
I'M JUST HERE TO REMIND YOU THAT
EVEN WHEN YOU FOLLOW THE ARCH
00:17:45.63\00:17:51.06
DECEIVER DOWN TO A PLACE THAT
DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A HEALING
00:17:51.06\00:17:57.20
POWER, THE ONE WHO WILL
COME AND GET YOU IS STILL JESUS.
00:17:57.20\00:18:08.93
I CAME FROM AN ACADEMY THAT
IS WELL-KNOWN IN SOME CIRCLES,
00:18:08.93\00:18:15.13
AND I HAD GOTTEN MY LEARNER'S
PERMIT, BUT HAD NOT FULLY GOTTEN
00:18:15.13\00:18:20.26
MY DRIVER'S LICENSE, BUT I HAD
A FRIEND WITH ME WHO SHALL BE
00:18:20.26\00:18:23.50
NAMELESS--ALL OF YOU WOULD
KNOW HIM, BUT I CAN'T NAME HIM;
00:18:23.50\00:18:26.46
WE'VE GOT THAT AGREEMENT.
00:18:26.46\00:18:28.13
WE GOT HOME AND I SAID,
"DAD, LET ME BORROW THE CAR."
00:18:28.13\00:18:33.00
"GOT YOUR LICENSE ?"
00:18:33.00\00:18:34.13
"YEAH."
00:18:34.13\00:18:36.26
"ALL RIGHT."
00:18:36.26\00:18:37.60
SO, YOU KNOW, THE CAR WASN'T
MUCH, BUT IT WAS ALL WE HAD.
00:18:37.60\00:18:40.66
I TOOK IT OUT AND WE WERE
TALKING AS WE PULLED OUT OF THE
00:18:40.66\00:18:43.86
DRIVEWAY--"WHERE YOU WANT TO
GO, AND WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ?
00:18:43.86\00:18:46.13
WE'RE GOING TO TEAR
THIS LITTLE OLD TOWN UP !"
00:18:46.13\00:18:49.70
Y'ALL DIDN'T THINK NEW
PREACHERS TALKED LIKE THAT.
00:18:49.70\00:18:52.36
I WAS IN COLLEGE; I WAS ALLOWED.
00:18:52.36\00:18:55.20
"OH, WE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN."
00:18:55.20\00:18:58.90
THE WEATHER WAS A LITTLE FUNNY.
00:18:58.90\00:19:00.40
IT WAS MISTY, GRAY, YOU COULD
BARELY SEE THREE CAR LENGTHS
00:19:00.40\00:19:03.93
IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT THAT'S
ALL RIGHT, WE HAD THE CAR,
00:19:03.93\00:19:07.30
WE WERE ALL DRESSED UP.
00:19:07.30\00:19:08.33
HAD ON THOSE LITTLE FUNNY HATS.
00:19:08.33\00:19:09.46
WAY BACK IN THOSE DAYS, THE MOST
ATTRACTIVE HAT A MAN COULD WEAR
00:19:09.46\00:19:13.26
WAS CALLED A STINGY BRIM.
00:19:13.26\00:19:17.33
GOT SOME OLD MEN IN
HERE NOW; I CAN FEEL YOU.
00:19:17.33\00:19:22.43
WE HAD 'EM ALL, LITTLE BRIM--AS
WE CAME UP TO A BLINKING
00:19:22.43\00:19:27.50
LIGHT, IT WAS
BLINKING YELLOW TOWARDS US.
00:19:27.50\00:19:31.90
I GUESS IT WAS BLINKING
RED THE OTHER WAY, AND YOU'RE
00:19:31.90\00:19:35.40
SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN, BUT,
HEY, TWO YOUNG MEN ON THEIR WAY
00:19:35.40\00:19:39.03
TO TOWN TO PAINT IT COLORS.
00:19:39.03\00:19:41.46
SO I HIT THE GAS.
00:19:41.46\00:19:44.96
IT WAS A CAR THAT YOU
DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE.
00:19:44.96\00:19:47.60
IT WAS CALLED A RAMBLER.
00:19:47.60\00:19:50.36
IT HAD UNDER ITS HOOD A TRUSTY,
TAKE THAT BACK--IT HAD UNDER
00:19:50.36\00:19:55.46
ITS HOOD A 6-CYLINDER THAT MADE
A SOUND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR
00:19:55.46\00:20:00.56
WAS FULLY DEPRESSED--ALMOST
NOTHING HAPPENED.
00:20:00.56\00:20:09.03
CAME TO THE BLINKING YELLOW,
HIT THE GAS--I LOOKED OUT OF
00:20:09.03\00:20:15.23
MY PERIPHERAL VISION AND
SAW A TRUCK COMING AS FAST AS IT
00:20:15.23\00:20:19.23
COULD COME, BUT THERE WAS
NOT ENOUGH POWER IN THAT CAR TO
00:20:19.23\00:20:23.43
GET IT OUT OF THE WAY, AND THE
TRUCK HIT THE RAMBLER AND SENT
00:20:23.43\00:20:27.00
IT AROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND,
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
00:20:27.00\00:20:31.23
IT WENT AROUND, BUT WHEN
IT LANDED, IT LANDED IN FRONT
00:20:31.23\00:20:34.20
OF A GROCERY STORE, THE
REAR END INSIDE THE STORE.
00:20:34.20\00:20:41.73
I'M SITTING THERE IN
ALABAMA WITH A LEARNER'S PERMIT,
00:20:41.73\00:20:50.03
AND NO LICENSED
DRIVER SITTING NEXT TO ME.
00:20:50.03\00:20:54.76
THE TWO ELDERLY
PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE THE SAME
00:20:54.76\00:20:59.13
SUNTAN THAT I HAVE.
00:20:59.13\00:21:03.63
I'M JUST WAITING ON YOU.
00:21:03.63\00:21:06.50
PRESENTLY THERE WAS A SHERIFF.
00:21:06.50\00:21:08.20
IT'S THE
QUINTESSENTIAL SOUTHERN SHERIFF.
00:21:08.20\00:21:11.30
HE'S GOT A POTBELLY.
00:21:11.30\00:21:12.96
HE'S GOT A BIG LBJ STETSON HAT.
00:21:12.96\00:21:16.03
HE'S CHEWING ON THE NUB OF
A CIGAR, AND HE COMES AROUND
00:21:16.03\00:21:19.30
AND SAYS, "BOY, YOU
IN A HEAP OF TROUBLE."
00:21:19.30\00:21:23.26
AS THOUGH I
DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW !
00:21:23.26\00:21:26.80
THE PERSON WHO WAS WITH ME
SAID, "LET ME SWITCH WITH YOU."
00:21:26.80\00:21:29.20
I SAID, "NO, MAN,
I'M IN ENOUGH TROUBLE.
00:21:29.20\00:21:31.70
THIS IS THE END OF THIS STUFF.
00:21:31.70\00:21:32.66
NO MORE LIES, NO
MORE PREVARICATION.
00:21:32.66\00:21:35.40
WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF THIS.
00:21:35.40\00:21:36.40
I RAN OVER TO THE PAY
PHONE; THERE WERE NO CELL PHONES
00:21:36.40\00:21:39.90
THEN, AND I CALLED,
OF ALL PEOPLE, MY DAD.
00:21:39.90\00:21:44.40
THE SAME MAN I JUST LIED TO AND
TAKEN HIS CAR AND WRECKED IT.
00:21:44.40\00:21:49.40
IT WAS INSIDE A STORE, AND HERE
I AM GETTING READY TO ASK MY DAD
00:21:49.40\00:21:53.13
TO COME HELP ME, AND I
SAID, "DAD, I'VE GOT A PROBLEM."
00:21:53.13\00:21:57.20
I SAID, "THE CAR'S WRECKED,
TWO OLD PEOPLE SAY THEIR BACKS
00:21:57.20\00:22:02.93
ARE HURTING, THERE'S A STORE
OWNER THAT SAYS I'VE GOT TO
00:22:02.93\00:22:07.90
FIX EVERYTHING THAT'S
WRONG WITH HIS STORE, AND,
00:22:07.90\00:22:11.13
INCIDENTALLY WHEN I TOLD YOU
THIS MORNING I HAD A LICENSE,
00:22:11.13\00:22:15.36
I HAD A LEARNER'S PERMIT."
00:22:15.36\00:22:18.00
AND THAT'S THE POINT WHERE YOUR
FATHER OUGHT TO TELL YOU OFF.
00:22:18.00\00:22:22.10
BUT A REAL FATHER
KNOWS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY GOT
00:22:22.10\00:22:25.40
ENOUGH TROUBLE.
00:22:25.40\00:22:27.00
HE SAID, "SON,
JUST STAY RIGHT THERE.
00:22:27.00\00:22:29.36
I GOT TO GET A RIDE."
00:22:29.36\00:22:32.73
I'M IN THE ONLY
CAR MY FAMILY'S GOT.
00:22:32.73\00:22:35.70
MY FATHER
CAME--IT'S A LONG STORY.
00:22:35.70\00:22:37.83
HERE'S THE SHORT SIDE OF IT.
00:22:37.83\00:22:39.36
DAD WENT IN AND SAID,
"I'M A CONTRACTOR, I WILL MAKE
00:22:39.36\00:22:42.23
YOUR STORE LOOK BETTER
THAN IT DID BEFORE MY SON
00:22:42.23\00:22:44.26
CAME INTO YOUR DOORS."
00:22:44.26\00:22:46.40
HE WENT OVER TO THE PEOPLE
WHO WERE IN THE TRUCK AND SAID,
00:22:46.40\00:22:48.83
"WOULD YOU PLEASE, CAN
YOU GET TO A HOSPITAL ?
00:22:48.83\00:22:50.73
IF YOU CAN, HERE'S MY CARD.
00:22:50.73\00:22:52.36
I WILL PAY EVERY CENT
OF YOUR MEDICAL BILL."
00:22:52.36\00:22:55.56
WENT OVER TO THE SHERIFF,
AND THIS WAS THE HARD SELL.
00:22:55.56\00:22:57.93
HE SAID, "SIR,
DO YOU HAVE A SON ?"
00:22:57.93\00:23:03.30
I SAW THAT CIGAR
SLACK IN HIS MOUTH AND DROP.
00:23:03.30\00:23:07.03
I SAID, "THERE IS A GOD !"
00:23:07.03\00:23:10.46
DAD SAID, "IF YOU'VE GOT A SON,
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL TODAY.
00:23:10.46\00:23:14.00
MY BOY OUGHT TO BE A
PREACHER, BUT THIS DAY
00:23:14.00\00:23:17.30
COULD RUIN IT FOR HIM.
00:23:17.30\00:23:18.66
I NEED YOUR HELP TO SAVE
MY BOY, AND LET HIM DO WHAT
00:23:18.66\00:23:22.20
GOD HAS CALLED HIM TO DO.
00:23:22.20\00:23:24.30
WILL YOU WORK WITH ME ?"
00:23:24.30\00:23:27.43
AND THE SOUTHERN SHERIFF
PULLED OFF HIS REFLECTIVE
00:23:27.43\00:23:30.63
GLASSES AND SAID, "I
FEEL YOUR PAIN AND I'M GOING
00:23:30.63\00:23:33.63
TO WORK WITH YOU."
00:23:33.63\00:23:34.76
AND I STAND HERE
TODAY BECAUSE OF A FATHER.
00:23:34.76\00:23:47.36
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I
WANT TO SAY TO YOU-EVERY ONE OF
00:23:47.36\00:23:52.90
US IS DOWN BY THE POOL.
00:23:52.90\00:23:56.73
EVERY ONE OF US
HAS BEEN ABANDONED.
00:23:56.73\00:24:01.63
SOMEBODY LIED TO US.
00:24:01.63\00:24:05.06
MAYBE WE LIED TO OURSELVES, AND
HERE WE ARE WITH NOBODY TO HELP,
00:24:05.06\00:24:09.90
AND I TELL YOU THAT IF EVERYBODY
ELSE HAS ABANDONED YOU, THE BEST
00:24:09.90\00:24:15.10
NEWS YOU CAN HEAR RIGHT NOW
IS THAT THERE IS ONE WHO WILL
00:24:15.10\00:24:19.66
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER LEAVE YOU !
00:24:19.66\00:24:29.40
IN FACT, THE THING THAT I WANT
TO MAKE AS CLEAR AS GOD WILL
00:24:29.40\00:24:32.33
HELP ME MAKE IT DURING THIS WEEK
THAT IS WAY TOO SHORT, IS THAT
00:24:32.33\00:24:37.23
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE POOL.
00:24:37.23\00:24:42.30
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
WHO BROUGHT YOU DOWN HERE, AND
00:24:42.30\00:24:44.60
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
HOW SOON THEY ABANDONED YOU.
00:24:44.60\00:24:47.16
EVERYBODY GETS
ABANDONED EVENTUALLY, BECAUSE
00:24:47.16\00:24:50.00
NOBODY STAYS WITH YOU.
00:24:50.00\00:24:51.86
YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY
ELSE WHEN YOUR MOTHER AND
00:24:51.86\00:24:55.96
FATHER FORSAKE
YOU--JESUS WILL TAKE YOU UP !
00:24:55.96\00:25:04.06
SO I WANT TO SAY TO YOU TONIGHT
THAT NO MATTER WHAT STUFF YOU'VE
00:25:04.06\00:25:07.90
DONE, NO MATTER WHAT BAGGAGE
YOU CARRY, NO MATTER HOW MANY
00:25:07.90\00:25:12.63
PEOPLE YOU'VE LIED TO--MAYBE
YOU'VE LIED TO THE VERY PEOPLE
00:25:12.63\00:25:15.46
WHO YOU NEED TO HELP, AND
THE FACT IS THAT EVERY ONE OF
00:25:15.46\00:25:18.63
US HAS LIED TO JESUS.
00:25:18.63\00:25:23.40
AND THE MIRACLE IS THAT
HE KNEW YOU WOULD LIE BEFORE
00:25:23.40\00:25:27.60
YOU LIED, KNEW YOUR LIE
WHILE YOU WERE TELLING IT, AND
00:25:27.60\00:25:32.60
LOVED YOU THROUGH IT.
00:25:32.60\00:25:36.43
AND EVEN NOW, AFTER YOU'VE
LIED YOURSELF INTO A CORNER
00:25:36.43\00:25:40.60
THAT YOU THINK IS INESCAPABLE;
TONIGHT JESUS BENDS OVER
00:25:40.60\00:25:50.06
YOUR BED AND SAYS,
"CAN I DO ANYTHING FOR YOU ?
00:25:50.06\00:25:55.93
WHAT DO YOU NEED ?"
00:25:55.93\00:25:57.80
AND WHAT YOU OUGHT TO
SAY IS "YOU CAN HELP ME.
00:25:57.80\00:26:02.13
I'VE LIED TO YOU.
00:26:02.13\00:26:04.76
HOW COULD YOU HELP
ME WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE
00:26:04.76\00:26:07.36
WHO I'VE HURT THE MOST ?"
00:26:07.36\00:26:09.60
BUT JESUS IS NOT ABOUT
TO LISTEN TO YOUR STORY.
00:26:09.60\00:26:13.16
HE CAME TO SEEK
AND TO SAVE THE LOST.
00:26:13.16\00:26:19.53
SO TONIGHT HE WILL BEND
OVER YOUR BED AND SAY, "RISE,
00:26:19.53\00:26:29.16
TAKE UP YOUR BED AND WALK."
00:26:29.16\00:26:33.06
IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, IF
YOU CAN OBEY HIM, YOU WILL NOT
00:26:33.06\00:26:37.86
SHUDDER, YOU WILL NOT SHAKE, YOU
WILL NOT FALL; YOU WILL STAND
00:26:37.86\00:26:43.66
IN THE POWER OF CHRIST,
AND YOU WILL WALK IN HIS NAME.
00:26:43.66\00:26:48.60
GOD BLESS YOU.
