01:07 FATHER, TONIGHT WE NEED YOU ONCE AGAIN. 01:11 WE CAN'T DO THIS THING WITHOUT YOU. 01:14 WE NEED YOU TO SEND THE PRESENCE OF JESUS THROUGH 01:18 THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 01:20 WE HAVE NOT COME HERE JUST TO BE IN CONCERT WITH EACOTHER. 01:24 WEE NOT COME JUST TO ENJOY EACH OTHER'S PRESENCE. 01:28 WE HAVE COME TONIGHT TO EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF JESUS. 01:33 AND SO, TONIGHT, FATHER, I ASK ONCE AGAIN THAT YOU 01:37 WILL TAKE CHARGE OF US. 01:39 NOT JUST THE ONE WHO SPEAKS, BUT EACH ONE OF US WHO 01:43 LISTENS AND READS. 01:44 AND I PRAY, FATHER, THAT TONIGHT WE WILL HAVE MOMENTS 01:48 WHEN WE FEEL JESUS MOVING IN US. 01:50 THIS IS OUR PRAYER IN JESUS'S NAME, AMEN. 01:54 AND NOW THE TEXT HAS SAID SOMETHING THAT I DISCOVERED 01:59 CONFLICTS WITH SOMETHING THAT WAS TOLD AGES AGO. 02:04 I SAW A DOCUMENTARY A FEW WEEKS AGO. 02:07 I HAD ALREADY PLANNED WHAT I WAS GOING TO CALL THIS. 02:11 BUT THEY SHOWED, IT MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE 60S OR 02:14 THE 70S, IT WAS AGES AGO. 02:17 IN FACT, IT WAS SO OLD THAT ALL THE APPLIANCES IN 02:19 THE HOUSE WERE WHITE. 02:22 YOU KNOW HOW LONG AGO THAT WAS, BECAUSE WE GOT COLOR 02:25 ON OUR APPLIANCES LONG AGO. 02:28 BUT IN THIS HOUSE THEY WERE SHOWING PARENTS 02:31 TALKING TO A YOUNG LADY. 02:33 AND YOU CAN TELL THERE, AGAIN, BECAUSE LONG AGO IT WAS ALWAYS 02:37 THE WOMAN HOPING FOR THE MAN. 02:41 NOW THESE DAYS IT'S CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. 02:44 I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE WOMEN WHO HAVE GOTTEN PROACTIVE. 02:49 AND YOU'RE MIGHTY QUIET ON THAT. 02:52 I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW THERE'S ACTIVITY REGARDLESS OF GENDER. 02:58 BUT IN THOSE DAYS, IT APPEARS, THAT THE LITTLE LADIES WOULD 03:02 JUST SIT AT HOME AND PRAY AND HOPE AND WRING THEIR HANDS, 03:08 AND SAY, I HOPE SOMEONE COMES. 03:10 AND SO THIS MOTHER CAME IN AND SAID, DEAR, WE ARE HOPING 03:13 WITH YOU THAT YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE TO COMPLETE YOU. 03:19 AND THE YOUNG LADY SAID, YES, MOM AND DAD, PRAY 03:23 WITH ME THAT SOMEONE WILL COME TO COMPLETE ME. 03:29 ISN'T THAT AMAZING ? 03:31 IF YOU SHOWED THAT NOW, EVERYBODY WOULD BE ANGRY. 03:34 BUT THAT'S WHAT IT WAS THEN. 03:36 HERE IS MY POINT AND I'LL MAKE THE FIRST POINT UP TOP. 03:40 IT IS A SAD SITUATION, EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTAND WHAT 03:44 THE PARENTS MEANT. 03:46 IN FACT, IT WAS A SWEET LITTLE SITUATION. 03:48 BUT IT'S A SAD SITUATION WHEN YOU PUT MORE WEIGHT ON A 03:53 PARTNER IN A MARRIAGE OR EVEN IN A DATING SITUATION, MORE 03:58 WEIGHT THAN THEY CAN HANDLE. 04:01 YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, I WANT SOMEBODY TO COMPLETE ME ? 04:06 WHO IN THE WORLD CAN COMPLETE YOU ? 04:10 THE BIBLE SAYS YOU ARE ALREADY COMPLETE IN CHRIST. 04:16 SO JUST IN CASE THERE'S ONE LADY LEFT... 04:21 THERE COULD BE. 04:23 THERE COULD BE ONE WOMAN LEFT AND SHE MAY BE HERE TONIGHT. 04:27 IF YOU'RE UNDER THE MISAPPREHENSION THAT THERE'S 04:30 SOME MAN OUT THERE WHO CAN MAKE YOU COMPLETE, LET ME TELL YOU 04:36 THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT MAN BECAUSE JESUS 04:41 HAS ALREADY COMPLETED YOU. 04:44 YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. 04:47 AND SOMEBODY OUGHT TO SAY AMEN, EVEN. 04:52 THERE IS NO HUMAN BEING WHO DESERVES TO HAVE ALL OF 04:57 THAT WEIGHT ON THEM. 04:59 BECAUSE NOBODY CAN DELIVER. 05:02 AND JUST IN CASE YOU THINK I'M BEING GENDER SPECIFIC, 05:06 LET ME TELL YOU BROTHER, THERE'S NO WOMAN OUT THERE 05:09 WHO CAN COMPLETE YOU, EITHER. 05:12 YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN JESUS CHRIST. 05:16 LET ME JUST READ SOME OF THE NOTES THAT WERE PUT DOWN TODAY. 05:20 I WAS KIND OF SHARPENING THIS THING. 05:23 THE FACT IS THAT THROUGH DAILY COMMUNION WITH GOD THE LIKENESS 05:28 OF THE DIVINE BECOMES A REALIT WITHIN THE HUMAN SOUL. 05:32 THERE IS NOTHING FOR THIS LIFE OR FOR ETERNITY THAT 05:36 MAN CANNOT RECEIVE THROUGH SPIRITUAL UNION WITH CHRIST. 05:42 WE MAY BE COMPLETE IN CHRIST. 05:47 SO TONIGHT I HAVE ANOTHER REASON TO RECOMMEND JESUS TO YOU. 05:51 BECAUSE ANYTHING YOU NEED FOR NOW OR FOR ETERNITY YOU CAN FIND 05:57 BY COMMUNING WITH JESUS CHRIST. 06:00 IN FACT, WHY DON'T WE DECLARE THAT THE FIRST EXPERIENCE 06:03 THE POWER MOMENT. 06:07 I DON'T CARE WHO WON'T COME NEAR YOU. 06:09 AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE TIMES, I'VE HEARD LADIES TALK. 06:12 THEY COME TO GET COUNSELED FROM TIME TO TIME. 06:14 I'VE STARTED MOVING A LITTLE FAST SO THEY 06:16 DON'T CATCH ME AS MUCH. 06:18 BUT WHEREVER THERE'S A GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE, AND I SAY, OKAY, 06:20 WE'LL TALK TO SOMEBODY, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY, MAYBE A YOUNG 06:24 MAN, MAYBE A WOMAN, AND THEY'LL SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED IS 06:29 SOMEBODY, A SPECIAL PERSON. 06:31 PRAY WITH ME. 06:33 AND I'LL TELL THEM RIGHT THEN, I'LL PRAY FOR SOMEBODY 06:34 SPECIAL, BUT I WON'T PRAY THAT THEY COMPLETE YOU. 06:39 BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY COMPLETE. 06:41 AND I WANT TO RECOMMEND JESUS, BECAUSE IN HIM ALL OF 06:45 US BECOME COMPLETE. 06:48 DO YOU BELIEVE IT ? 06:49 SO, LET'S START WITH THAT RECOGNITION. 06:52 NOW, I WANT TO PUT A LITTLE OTHER SIDE ON THAT. 06:57 I BELIEVE THAT THE MOST UNATTRACTIVE PERSON 07:01 IN THE WORLD... 07:07 ...IS A PERSON STANDING AROUND WAITING FOR SOMEBODY 07:21 TO COMPLETE YOU. 07:23 I BELIEVE YOU PUT OFF RADAR. 07:26 I BELIEVE THAT SOMEBODY 10 MILES AWAY COULD PICK IT UP. 07:31 AND THEY KNOW THAT SOMEBODY IS SITTING SOMEWHERE. 07:34 "I'M WAITING ON SOMEBODY TO COMPLETE ME." 07:38 LADIES, IF YOU WANT TO RUN A MAN 10 MILES AWAY, JUST GET THAT 07:42 THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND AND IT WILL FORM ITSELF ON YOUR FACE. 07:47 IT WILL BE IN YOUR BODY LANGUAGE. 07:50 AND WHEN HE COMES NEAR AND YOU BEGIN TO MOVE TOWARDS HIM, 07:54 HE'LL BE ABLE TO FEEL IT. 07:55 "THAT WOMAN WANTS SOMEBODY TO COMPLETE HER, AND I 07:59 AM NOT THE ONE." 08:03 YOU KNOW HOW THEY DO. 08:05 "HI. 08:09 HOW ARE YOU DOING ?" 08:11 AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING MORE TRAGIC THAN THAT, IT'S A 08:14 FULL-GROWN MAN, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY 08:21 ALL BIG AND MASCULINE. 08:25 AND THEN LOOK AT YOU OVER THERE TALKING ABOUT, I NEED 08:27 SOMEBODY TO COMPLETE ME. 08:31 EVERY WOMAN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH OUGHT TO TURN AND RUN. 08:36 WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR IS SOMEBODY WHO'S POWERFUL. 08:39 YOU KNOW, SINCE 9/11, EVERY WOMAN NOW IS LOOKING FOR 08:42 A MAN IN UNIFORM. 08:43 THEY WANT A FIREMAN. 08:44 THEY WANT A POLICEMAN. 08:46 THEY WANT SOMEBODY IN THE NATIONAL GUARD, EVEN, BUT 08:48 SOMEBODY WHO WEARS A UNIFORM AND LOOKS CAPABLE. 08:53 SO, BROTHER, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THIS, YOU OUGHT TO TRY IT. 08:57 AT LEAST ACT LIKE YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF SOMETHING. 08:59 YOU KNOW, "HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING ?" 09:01 WALK LIKE YOU'RE ON A MISSION. 09:03 DON'T STAND AROUND WAITING FOR SOMEBODY. 09:06 "SOMEBODY COMPLETE ME." 09:11 IN FACT, LET'S GET IT REALLY STRAIGHT. 09:15 IN PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 4, AND VERSE 19, LET'S GET THIS 09:20 COMPLETE THING STRAIGHTENED OUT. 09:23 PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 4, AND VERSE 19, BECAUSE YOU JUST 09:27 CAN'T HAVE THAT IN YOUR MIND. 09:29 THAT THING WILL GET ON YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR BODY LANGUAGE. 09:34 IT'LL GET EVERYWHERE. 09:36 PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 4, VERSE 19. 09:39 "BUT MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES 09:45 IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS." 09:50 NOW, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. 09:52 I'M GOING TO READ YOU MIND. 09:53 "SEE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF NEED I'M 09:56 TALKING ABOUT PASTOR." 10:01 DID I READ YOU MIND ? 10:04 "SEE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING IN THE BIBLE. 10:07 THIS, YOU KNOW, WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU PROBABLY 10:11 WON'T FIND IN THE BIBLE." 10:16 BUT WHAT I READ WAS MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS. 10:25 YOU THINK THAT'S A MISPRINT ? 10:27 DO YOU THINK GOD DOESN'T KNOW YOUR NEEDS ? 10:31 GUESS WHAT ? 10:32 WHO MADE YOU ? 10:34 GOD CREATED YOU AND KNOWS EVERY DESIRE AND DRIVE HE PUT IN YOU. 10:43 I KNOW YOU WANT TO BE QUIET NOW, BUT I'M ON YOUR STREET. 10:49 EVERY DESIRE THAT GOD GAVE. 10:51 AND HE GAVE THEM FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND TO BE USED IN 10:55 ACCORDANCE WITH HIS WORD. 10:57 BUT DON'T SIT AROUND ACTING LIKE GOD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. 11:00 THERE IS NOTHING THAT JESUS DID NOT COME TO KNOW WHEN HE LIVED 11:05 ON EARTH, IN FACT, HE WAS TEMPTED IN ALL POINTS, LIKE 11:09 AS WE ARE, YET, WITHOUT SIN. 11:14 NOW, I DON'T BUY ALL OF THESE NEW STORES FROM THESE NEW 11:16 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE THAT HAVE BEEN PULLED UP NOW. 11:19 AND THEY WANT TO SAY THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF STRANGE 11:22 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE. 11:26 I'M NOT ALL THE WAY INTO THAT. 11:28 I BELIEVE THAT JESUS LIVED A SINLESS LIFE. 11:33 AMEN. 11:36 IF HE DIDN'T, I'LL GIVE UP MY JOB. 11:38 I'LL GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. 11:40 BUT I BELIEVE THAT HE DID, IN FACT, COME TO KNOW EVERY 11:44 INCLINATION AND HE KNEW THEM BECAUSE GOD HAD CREATED US WITH 11:51 WHOLESOME DESIRES THAT FOR REASONS THAT MAY NOT ALWAYS 11:57 BE CLEAR, THESE DESIRES CANNOT BE MET IMMEDIATELY. 12:02 BUT HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST KNOW. 12:04 NOBODY'S GOING TO HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN EXACTLY THE 12:09 RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. 12:13 I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE YOU'RE GOING TO HATE, BUT I'M 12:16 GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU ANYWAY. 12:19 THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IN ORDER TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, I HAVE 12:23 TO BE AWAY FROM MY WIFE. 12:27 AND JUST IN CASE YOU WANT TO GET ME OUT OF THE EQUATION BY 12:30 AGE, LET ME TELL YOU THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS YOUNG. 12:37 YOU'RE VERY SLOW. 12:42 WHEN I WAS A YOUNG PREACHER, THERE WERE TIMES THAT I HAD 12:45 TO BE AWAY FROM MY WIFE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME 12:48 TO PREACH THE GOSPEL. 12:52 SO, IF I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL YOUR 12:57 NEEDS, BUT HE WILL NOT PLACE YOU IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU 13:01 HAVE TO VIOLATE WHAT THE LORD SAYS, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN 13:05 ABLE TO HOLD ON THEN. 13:06 THERE'S A NEW THOUGHT PATTERN. 13:08 I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT TOO LONG, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS 13:10 PROFANE WHEN YOU SAY IT. 13:12 BUT THE FACT IS THAT GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS, 13:16 BUT YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST HIM TO DO IT. 13:22 YOU CAN'T BREAK THE RULES TO GET WHAT GOD PROMISES. 13:27 THERE'S NO RIGHT WAY OF DOING WRONG. 13:31 OH, YOU GOT IT QUIET EARLY. 13:36 SO, I'M VERY CLEAR. 13:38 I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE MATES HAVE 13:42 DIED WHILE THEY WERE YOUNG. 13:46 AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO RUSH OUT IN A FRANTIC PACE. 13:52 BECAUSE IF GOD CREATED THE DESIRE, GOD CAN 13:57 CONTROL THE DESIRE. 14:07 THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'VE GOT TO LIVE FOREVER WITHOUT 14:09 HAVING DESIRES FULFILLED. 14:11 YOU JUST GOT TO TRUST GOD THAT HE FULFILLS ALL OF 14:15 OUR NEEDS, ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY. 14:19 IN FACT, LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU THAT SOME PEOPLE STEP AHEAD OF 14:24 GOD AND CAUSE THEMSELVES TO BE OUT OF RHYTHM WITH HIM. 14:31 AND BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SUPPLY THEIR OWNS NEEDS, NOT 14:36 ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY, BUT ACCORDING TO PEOPLE 14:40 WHO THEY MEET ON THE STREETS. 14:43 OH, I'LL GET BACK TO IT. 14:46 YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD KNOWS WHO HE SHOULD 14:51 USE, WHO OUGHT TO COME. 14:55 HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE I MET. 14:57 THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN WHO WAS A MEMBER OF ONE OF MY CHURCHES. 14:59 I'LL NEVER SAY WHICH ONE. 15:01 AND HE WAS MARRIED TO A LADY WHO WAS QUITE FAIR. 15:05 IS THAT A GOOD WORD ? 15:08 SHE WAS SO FAIR THAT DURING WORSHIP WHEN THEY WOULD COME 15:12 IN, I WOULD NOTICE THAT MANY OF MY MALE MEMBERS.... 15:24 I TRIED TO WARN HIM, YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT. 15:27 JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S SITTING IN CHURCH, DOES NOT MEAN THAT 15:29 THEY WON'T HURT YOU. 15:32 YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHOSE MATE YOU LOOK 15:35 AT FOR HOW LONG, WELL. 15:39 (APPLAUSE) 15:44 I WAS SHOCKED ONE DAY. 15:45 THE MAN CAME TO ME, CAME TO MY OFFICE FOR COUNSEL AND DURING 15:47 THAT EXCHANGE, I HAPPENED TO REMARK TO HIM, I SAID, I HOPE 15:52 YOU DON'T GET ANNOYED BY SOMETIMES WHEN THE MEN. 15:55 HE SAID, "PASTOR," HE SAID, "I WISH I COULD GIVE HER TO THEM." 16:10 HE SAID, THERE ARE SOMETIMES WHEN I WAKE UP EARLY IN THE 16:12 MORNING AND I WATCH THE SUN RISE ON HER COUNTENANCE. 16:18 AND HE SAID WHILE SOME MAY THINK SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, 16:21 I KNOW HER INSIDE. 16:24 HE SAID, SHE'S THE MOST HORRIBLE-LOOKING WOMAN 16:26 I HAVE EVER MET. 16:28 AND I HAVE PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD TAKE HER FROM ME. 16:31 WELL, I GUESS I OUGHT TO SAY YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. 16:35 YOU HAD BETTER LET GOD CHOOSE THE ONE FOR YOU. 16:39 WELL, LET ME GET THROUGH WITH A LITTLE OF THIS IN ACTS, 16:43 CHAPTER 17, AND VERSE 28. 16:45 IT SAYS, IF YOU WANT TO DEPEND ON SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU'VE GOT TO 16:48 LEARN THAT IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. 16:52 THE FACT IS THAT NOBODY OUGHT TO BE PUT IN THE PLACE, AND YOU'VE 16:55 GOT TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO ME NOW, BECAUSE WHAT I WANT TO 16:59 SAY TO YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, IS THAT SOME OF US 17:03 HAVE MADE HUMAN BEINGS IDOLS. 17:11 IF YOU PUT A HUMAN BEING IN THE PLACE OF GOD, THE BIBLE SAYS 17:17 GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS. 17:20 BUT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT TOO MUCH TELEVISION. 17:23 YOU'VE SEEN ONE TOO MANY MOVIES. 17:25 AND THE THEME OF THE MOVIE IS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND 17:29 OF YOUR HEAD. 17:30 AND YOU MEET SOMEONE AND ALL OF THAT STUFF HAPPENS. 17:33 YOU KNOW, A SURGE OF MUSIC AND BRIGHT LIGHTS. 17:39 BIRDS FLY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND CLOUDS BRIGHTEN. 17:44 THE SUN SHINES LIKE IT'S NEVER SHINED BEFORE. 17:46 AND THE MOON, AT NIGHT, IS AMAZINGLY BRIGHT. 17:50 AND U FIND YOURSELF PUSHED BY SOMETHING THAT IS NOT LOGICAL 17:54 TO SAY, THAT'S THE ONE. 18:01 AND YOU GOT CAUGHT IN SOME MUSICAL PLAYING IN YOUR BRAIN. 18:05 GO BACK HOME AND IMAGINE, THIS IS IT. 18:09 FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, I'LL BE FINE. 18:12 BUT THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'D BETTER BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE 18:14 IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. 18:16 GOD SUPPLIES YOUR NEED. 18:18 BUT YOU SAY, THAT PERSON CAN DO IT. 18:20 AND WHOA BE UNTO YOU, YOU SET THEM UP AS THE ONE 18:26 WHO CAN GIVE YOU EVERYTHING. 18:28 YOU COMPLETE ME. 18:30 AND THEN WE START TALKING ABOUT FASCINATION AND SCINTILLATION 18:35 AND OH, WHEN I'M AROUND HIM. 18:40 WELL, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT STUFF, BUT THEN YOU 18:43 BEGIN TO EXPECT THAT PERSON. 18:46 YOU KNOW ?
