02:48 CAN WE TAKE IT WITH US ? 02:49 IT'S TOO BIG TO CARRY. 02:51 WE DON'T HAVE CART BIG ENOUGH TO PUT OUR FURNITURE ON. 02:54 ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ? 02:57 I WILL NOT LEAVE. 02:58 BUT WE'VE GOT TO GO. 02:59 IT'S NOT ABOUT POSSESSIONS NOW. 03:01 LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. 03:02 WE HAVE BECOME TOO ENAMORED WITH POSSESSIONS. 03:08 MY WIFE AND I HAD AN AWAKENING MOMENT. 03:12 WE WERE MOVING. 03:15 WE WENT TO PUT ALL OF OUR EARTHLY GOODS INTO 03:18 A STORAGE FACILITY. 03:19 I DON'T WANT TO KNOCK STORAGE FACILITIES. 03:21 NOT ALL OF THEM. 03:23 THE ONE WHERE WE PUT OUR EARTHLY GOODS HAD SOME 03:28 AFFILIATION WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE OF A SEEDY NATURE. 03:34 MY WIFE AND I FINALLY GOT A PLACE. 03:36 WE GOT A HOUSE. 03:37 AND MY WIFE WENT TO MAKE EVERYTHING READY WHILE 03:39 I WENT WITH THE TRUCK THAT WE HAD RENTED TO BRING 03:43 OUR FURNITURE HOME. 03:44 I WENT TO THE PLACE WHERE I KNEW WAS OUR LITTLE CUBBY. 03:49 AND I TRIED MY KEY IN THE LOCK, AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN. 03:54 I ASKED MY BROTHERS. 03:55 I SAID, LOOK, HELP ME WITH THIS. 03:57 THEY WENT AND GOT ONE OF THOSE BIG CUTTERS 03:59 AND THEY CUT THE LOCK. 04:00 AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THE FEELING THAT I HAD WHEN I 04:02 PULLED THAT DOOR UP AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THERE. 04:10 ALL THE CONTENTS OF AN 18-WHEELER, CONTAINING 04:14 EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING. 04:18 GONE--AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT 04:21 WAS OUR PLACE, WAS THAT I FOUND A LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER WITH 04:24 MY WIFE'S HANDWRITING ON IT. 04:26 AND IT CONFIRMED THAT WE HAD NOTHING. 04:29 I WOULDN'T CALL. 04:32 I SAID, I'VE GOT TO GO AND TELL HER THIS FACE TO FACE, BECAUSE 04:34 NOW WE'VE GOT A HOUSE THAT'S EMPTY, AND NOTHING TO PUT IN IT. 04:39 AND I THOUGHT THAT FOR A MOMENT THAT IT WOULD BE THE END. 04:43 LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. 04:44 LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE. 04:53 I'LL TELL YOU WHAT JOB SAID. 04:55 THE LORD GIVETH AND THE LORD TAKETH AWAY. 04:59 BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD. 05:03 YOU HAD BETTER FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH ALL OF YOUR POSSESSIONS. 05:08 THEY MEAN NOTHING WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SALVATION. 05:11 AND WE'VE GOT TO LEARN HOW TO WEAR THIS WORLD 05:13 A LITTLE BIT LOOSER. 05:14 WE'VE GOT TO LEARN HOW TO STEP BACK FROM POSSESSIONS. 05:17 IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. 05:21 THE SAME GOD WHO GAVE IT TO YOU CAN REPLACE IT IF NEED BE. 05:26 SO LEAN TO GOD AND NOT TO YOUR POSSESSIONS. 05:30 BUT THIS FAMILY NOW, IS FROZEN. 05:34 THEY'VE GOT PEOPLE OUTSIDE WHO HAVE EVIL INTENT. 05:38 THEY'VE GOT ANGELS WHO SAY YOU'VE GOT TO GO, AND THEY 05:41 CAN'T MAKE UP THEIR MINDS. 05:45 I'LL TELL YOU THAT TODAY THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WITHIN THE SOUND 05:47 OF MY VOICE, PEOPLE AROUND THIS GLOBE, WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO. 05:53 THEY HAVE SOMETHING WHISPERING, CALM DOWN. 05:59 THAT MAN IS PAID TO GET YOU EXCITED. 06:03 YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. 06:07 BUT HERE IS WHAT YOU KNOW. 06:09 I HAVE NOT HELD UP ANYTHING BEFORE YOU AS THE TRUTH UNLESS 06:14 IT CAME FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 06:24 CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A HEAVEN FOR YOU. 06:27 YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ME ONE TIME SAY THAT IF YOU DO THIS FOR ME 06:30 SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU. 06:32 I DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO GUARANTEE YOU WHAT WILL 06:34 HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE. 06:35 I HAVE THE POWER TO TELL YOU WHO CAN. 06:37 I KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE FAITHFUL TO GOD, IF YOU RETURN A FAITHFUL 06:40 TITHE, AND GIVE HIM A FAITHFUL OFFERING, HE'LL OPEN UP THE 06:43 FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING. 06:46 I KNOW IT'S TRUE AND SOME OF YOU HAVE REPORTED THAT 06:49 YOU ALREADY HAVE BLESSINGS THAT YOU COULDN'T IMAGINE. 06:52 I KNOW GOD WILL DO THAT, BUT I DARE NOT BASE ANYTHING ON ME. 06:58 THE FACT IS THE BIBLE DECLARES THAT IF YOU HAD SOME OF THE 07:04 GREATEST PATRIARCHS OF THE BIBLE, IF YOU HAD NOAH, IF YOU 07:08 HAD ENOCH, IF YOU HAD ALL OF THEM ON YOUR SIDE, THEY WOULD 07:12 ONLY BE ABLE TO SAVE THEMSELVES. 07:16 BECAUSE GOD DOES NOT LOOK AT US CORPORATELY. 07:19 AREN'T YOU GLAD ? 07:22 BECAUSE THERE'S SOMEBODY SITTING NOT FAR FROM YOU 07:24 WHO HAS DETERMINED THAT THEY WILL NOT OBEY GOD. 07:26 BUT THE FACT IS THAT GOD DOES NOT JUDGE YOU BY ROWS--AMEN. 07:34 I HOPE YOU'RE ON A GOOD ROW. 07:35 HOPE EVERYBODY THERE IS A WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN. 07:39 BUT THE ROW CAN'T SAVE YOU. 07:41 GOD DOES NOT JUDGE US EVEN BY FAMILIES. 07:45 ONE OR TWO CAN BE SAVED OUT OF THE FAMILY. 07:48 LOT'S FAMILY WAS NOT ALL SAVED. 07:49 IT WAS NOT DONE BY FAMILY. 07:51 CERTAINLY NOT BY CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS. 07:54 I HAVE NEVER HELD UP TO YOU THE NAME OF A CHURCH. 07:56 WHILE I AM PROUD TO BE A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST, 07:59 I WOULD NEVER TELL YOU THAT THE NAME SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST 08:02 CAN SAVE YOU--IT CANNOT. 08:04 ONLY THE NAME OF JESUS. 08:05 THERE'S NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN, GIVEN AMONG MEN, 08:08 WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. 08:10 IT'S JESUS'S NAME THAT SAVES. 08:14 YOU CAN GO TO PLACES WHERE YOU CAN DO HIS WILL. 08:17 THAT'S WHY I FIND MYSELF IN THIS AMAZING ORGANIZATION, WHERE 08:22 EVERYTHING IN THE BIBLE CAN BE PRACTICED WITHOUT ANYBODY 08:24 PUTTING YOU OUT, BECAUSE THE CHURCH ESPOUSES ALL OF THOSE 08:28 THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORD OF GOD, BUT IT'S NOT THE NAME OF A 08:31 CHURCH, IT'S THE NAME OF JESUS. 08:35 AND HERE'S MY QUESTION. 08:36 HOW IS IT THAT SOMEBODY CAN STILL BE HERE SAYING, I 08:39 WONDER WHAT I SHOULD DO ? 08:43 TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO. 08:44 WELL, HERE'S HOW IT WENT WITH LOT AND HIS FAMILY. 08:49 LOT AND HIS WIFE AND HIS DAUGHTERS KEPT DISCUSSING 08:54 AND EVALUATING. 08:56 GOD HAS GIVEN US THESE BRAINS WITH THE POWER TO EVALUATE. 09:01 ANIMALS CAN'T DO THAT. 09:03 THERE ARE SOME WHO SEEM SMART ENOUGH, BUT THEY CAN'T. 09:06 THEY ONLY ARE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT THINGS AS THEY ARE 09:10 AND THEY RESPOND BY INSTINCT. 09:13 BUT YOU AND I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT THE 09:16 FACTS, TO EVALUATE THEM, TO SEE WHAT'S IMPORTANT AND WHAT'S NOT. 09:21 WE'RE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A CONCLUSION. 09:23 AND SOMETIMES WHEN WE DO IT, LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, IT 09:26 TURNS OUT EXACTLY RIGHT. 09:28 IN ALL THY WAYS, ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE 09:30 WILL DIRECT THY PATHS. 09:32 BUT WHEN YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN, MANY TIMES WE COME UP WRONG. 09:36 AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO REASON TOO LONG. 09:38 WHEN YOU FIND A PLACE WHERE GOD SAYS EXACTLY 09:43 WHAT TO DO, A FEASIBILITY STUDY IS CONTRAINDICATED. 09:53 IF GOD SAYS, DON'T, THAT'S THE END OF THE STUDY. 09:57 I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAYS THAT YOU 09:59 OUGHT NOT CONSIDER IT. 10:00 I BELIEVE THAT WHEN GOD DIRECTS YOU, IT MAKES SENSE. 10:06 OR, GOD MAY SOMETIME DIRECT YOU OUTSIDE OF SENSE. 10:13 HE DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE, HE CREATED SENSE. 10:20 SOMETIMES HE'LL TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS ILLOGICAL. 10:23 GOD DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LOGICAL. 10:26 HE CREATED LOGIC. 10:28 HE CAN TURN LOGIC UPSIDE DOWN, AND IT STILL MAKES 10:33 SENSE, BECAUSE HE'S GOD. 10:37 AND WHEN YOU LEARN TO TRUST HIM, AS YOU OUGHT, WHATEVER 10:40 HE SAYS, YOU DON'T DO A FEASIBILITY STUDY. 10:44 THE FIRST TIME THE ISRAELITES CAME TO CANAN, THEY CAME 10:47 WITH A FEASIBILITY STUDY. 10:50 THEY BROUGHT FRUIT THAT WAS SO BIG, BIG GRAPES 10:54 THAT MAY HAVE BEEN LIKE THAT. 10:55 THEY CARRIED THEM BETWEEN TWO MEN. 10:57 AND WHEN THEY CAME BACK AND GAVE THEIR REPORT, THEY 10:59 SAID, DON'T GO IN THERE. 11:02 IT'S A LAND THAT EATS UP THE INHABITANTS. 11:06 NOW, WHEN YOU LIE, YOU MUST LEARN THAT A 11:08 LIE IS NEVER LOGICAL. 11:10 SO THEY SAID THE LAND EATS UP THE INHABITANTS. 11:12 WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS BIG FRUIT, AND WHEN WE WERE 11:15 OVER THERE, WE SAW GIANTS. 11:18 WAIT A MINUTE. 11:19 IF THE LAND EATS UP THE INHABITANTS, HOW 11:22 DID YOU SEE GIANTS ? 11:25 AND THEN THEY SAID, WHEN WE SAW THEM, THEY LOOKED 11:29 AT US AND THOUGHT WE LOOKED LIKE GRASSHOPPERS. 11:33 THAT'S CALLED PROJECTION. 11:37 IN OTHER WORDS, I DON'T, I DIDN'T ASK THEM. 11:39 I DIDN'T GO UP TO THEM AND SAY, HEY, MR. GIANT, WHEN YOU LOOK 11:41 AT ME, WHAT DO YOU THINK ? 11:45 I DECIDED THAT WHEN THEY LOOKED AT ME, THEY THOUGHT 11:48 I LOOKED LIKE A GRASSHOPPER. 11:49 I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. 11:51 I AM NOT A CLOSET GRASSHOPPER. 11:53 GOD HAS COME INTO MY BRAIN AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE A GIANT. 11:58 IT'S NOT IN ME THAT I'M A GIANT. 11:59 IT'S IN CHRIST THAT I RISE TO BECOME MORE THAN I AM. 12:03 BUT I WILL NEVER ALLOW MYSELF TO THINK MYSELF LOWER THAN I AM. 12:07 NOT IN CHRIST. 12:09 IN MYSELF, MAYBE I'M A GRASSHOPPER. 12:12 BUT IN CHRIST, I'M A GIANT. 12:19 THESE PEOPLE BEGAN TO THINK LIKE THAT. 12:22 THEY DID A FEASIBILITY STUDY, SO THEY ARE FROZEN. 12:24 AND FINALLY THE ANGELS SAID, IT'S TIME TO GO. 12:28 AND HERE I COME TO THE VERY NUB OF MY TITLE, 12:33 BECAUSE I KNOW MERCY. 12:37 IF NOT FOR MERCY, I WOULD NOT BE STANDING BEFORE 12:40 YOU ON THIS PULPIT. 12:42 I HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. 12:46 BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS HAS CLEANSED ME FROM MY SINS. 12:50 THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I REPEAT, BUT I GO BACK TO THE FOUNTAIN 12:54 FILLED WITH BLOOD, AND HE WASHES ME AGAIN, AND PUTS AGAIN ON ME, 12:58 THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 13:00 SO I DO NOT STAND BEFORE YOU PERFECT IN MY OWN RIGHT. 13:04 I CLAIM THE PERFECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, AND BECAUSE HE LOVES 13:08 ME SO, HE ALLOWS ME TO STAND UP HERE AND TALK ABOUT HIM. 13:12 AND I THANK HIM FOR IT. 13:13 BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THE MERCY OF GOD 13:16 I COULD NOT STAND HERE. 13:17 I COULD NOT STAND ANYWHERE. 13:20 I WOULD BE VAPORIZED BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. 13:24 BUT I STAND IN HIS MERCY. 13:28 ABOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, WAS 13:31 A COVERING, AN OPENING, THAT WAS CALLED THE MERCY SEAT. 13:36 IN FACT, WHEN LINGUISTS LOOK INTO THE NAME IN THE ORIGINAL 13:40 LANGUAGE, THEY FIND THAT IT NOT ONLY MEANS COVERING, 13:43 IT MEANS ATONEMENT. 13:47 SO, ABOVE THE LAW, MERCY. 13:51 GOD DEALS WITH US IN JUSTICE THAT IS MINGLED WITH HIS 13:57 MERCY, OR ELSE WE WOULD ALL BE CONSUMED. 14:01 AND SO TODAY I TELL YOU THAT I UNDERSTAND MERCY. 14:03 I KNOW IT MEANS PITY. 14:05 I KNOW IT MEANS COMPASSION. 14:06 BUT HERE IS A USE OF MERCY THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYWHERE ELSE. 14:12 BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THOSE ANGELS TOOK HOLD OF LOT 14:17 AND HIS WIFE AND HIS DAUGHTERS AND BEGAN TO PULL THEM. 14:24 AND I KNOW WHAT SOMEBODY'S GOING TO SAY. 14:26 YOU SAY, YEAH, BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID GOD DOESN'T FORCE PEOPLE. 14:29 AND I'LL TELL YOU AGAIN, GOD DOES NOT FORCE PEOPLE. 14:32 BUT SOMETIMES WHEN GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, WHEN YOU 14:37 HAVE TOLD HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS, WHEN YOU HAVE CONFESSED TO HIM 14:43 IN YOUR HEART, THAT IT'S YOUR WILL TO FOLLOW HIM, HE THEN HAS 14:48 YOUR WILL JOINED WITH HIS WILL AND NOW HE IS AUTHORIZED TO TAKE 14:55 EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TO SAVE YOU FROM YOUR OWN DALLIANCIES. 15:04 SO GOD HEARD THE PRAYER. 15:06 EVERY PRAYER I PRAY IS INTERPRETED BY THE POWER 15:11 OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 15:12 MY WORDS MEAN NOTHING IN HEAVEN. 15:14 BUT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT GETS THROUGH, GOD UNDERSTANDS 15:17 WHAT I REALLY WANT. 15:20 WHAT LOT REALLY WANTED, WHAT LOT'S WIFE REALLY 15:22 WANTED, WHAT THOSE TWO DAUGHTERS REALLY WANTED. 15:25 IT WAS TO ESCAPE WITH THEIR LIVES. 15:28 SO GOD INTERPRETED THEIR PRAYERS AND TOLD THOSE 15:31 ANGELS, GET THEM OUT OF HERE. 15:41 SO THOSE ANGELS GRABBED THEM AND SAID COME ON. 15:45 BUT I WANT TO WAIT. 15:45 COME ON. 15:47 YEAH, BUT I. . . 15:48 COME ON. 15:49 WHAT CAN I BRING ? 15:50 COME ON. 15:52 BUT I GOT TO. . . 15:53 COME ON. 15:54 AND THEY TOOK THEM OUT TO A SAFE PLACE. 15:56 AND THEN I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING THAT 15:58 I THINK WILL SHOCK YOU. 15:59 I HOPE YOU'RE STILL IN GENESIS 19. 16:03 BECAUSE IF YOU'RE OVER THERE, I'LL SHOW YOU A STRANGE THING 16:07 THAT HAPPENS WITH THE LANGUAGE. 16:09 IN VERSE 15, I'VE GOT THE ANGELS, PLURAL. 16:13 IN VERSE 16, GOT THE ANGELS. 16:16 PLURAL. 16:17 WHEN I GET TO VERSE 17, SOMETHING HAPPENED. 16:20 AND IT CAME TO PASS WHEN THEY HAD BROUGHT THEM FORTH 16:23 ABROAD THAT HE SAID. 16:28 ARE YOU THERE ? 16:30 KNOCK, KNOCK, ARE YOU THERE ? 16:33 VERSE 15, PLURAL. 16:35 VERSE 16, PLURAL. 16:38 VERSE 17, STARTS PLURAL. 16:40 AND IT CAME TO PASS WHEN THEY HAD BROUGHT THEM 16:43 FORTH ABROAD THAT HE SAID, ESCAPE FOR THY LIFE. 16:50 LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE. 16:51 NEITHER STAY THOU IN ALL THE PLAINS. 16:52 ESCAPE TO THE MOUNTAIN LEST THOU BE CONSUMED. 16:55 LOOK AT VERSE 21. 16:56 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, SEE, I HAVE ACCEPTED THEE CONCERNING 16:58 THIS ALSO, THAT I WILL NOT OVERTHROW THIS CITY FOR 17:02 WITH THOU HAS SPOKEN. 17:04 WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS LOT SAID, I CAN'T GET TO THE PLAIN. 17:06 LET ME TELL YOU HOW SWEET JESUS IS. 17:09 INCIDENTALLY, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT THAT TEXT. 17:12 I BELIEVE THAT THE TWO ANGELS CAME TO GET 17:14 THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE. 17:15 I BELIEVE THAT THE TWO ANGELS TOOK THEM OUT TO A 17:17 PLACE WHERE THEY COULD TALK. 17:18 I BELIEVE THAT THE TWO ANGELS DID WHAT GOD TOLD THEM TO DO. 17:22 AND THEN I BELIEVE THAT JESUS, HIMSELF. . . 17:29 I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU FOR FOUR WEEKS NOW. 17:33 GOD IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH. 17:35 BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE. 17:37 AS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT THE ACTIVE AGENT IN 17:40 OUR SALVATION IS JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. 17:43 AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN JESUS WILL NOT SEND ANYBODY ELSE. 17:48 HE COMES HIMSELF. 17:51 SO WHEN THE ANGELS HAD BROUGHT THEM OUT FAR 17:53 ENOUGH, JESUS SHOWED UP. 17:56 AND THE ANGELS FELL BACK AND JESUS SAID, ESCAPE 18:01 FOR YOUR LIFE. 18:03 JESUS SAID IT. 18:05 AND WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE IN THAT SNAPSHOT IS THIS. 18:09 I DON'T CARE HOW SIMPLE YOU THINK YOU ARE. 18:16 I DON'T CARE HOW INSIGNIFICANT YOU THINK YOU ARE. 18:19 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COUNT THEMSELVES NOTHING 18:21 BECAUSE OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TOLD THEM. 18:25 MAYBE YOUR PARENTS TOLD YOU SOMETHING THEY SHOULD NEVER 18:27 HAVE SAID TO YOU AS THEIR CHILD. 18:29 THERE ARE PARENTS WHO RUIN THEIR CHILDREN BY WHAT THEY SAY. 18:32 BUT LISTEN TO ME. 18:34 IF YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU WERE NOTHING, JESUS DISAGREES. 18:43 IF YOUR DADDY TOLD YOU WERE NOTHING, JESUS DISAGREES. 18:48 IF YOUR AUNT, YOUR UNCLE, YOUR GRANDMOTHER, YOUR GRAND-DADDY, 18:52 IF YOUR CHILDREN HAVE TOLD YOU YOU'RE NOTHING, JESUS DISAGREES. 18:58 AND HE PROVES HIS DISAGREEMENT BY SHOWING UP--HE COMES HIMSELF. 19:06 SO, TRUST ME. 19:07 THE ANGELS WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN ENOUGH, BUT JESUS SHOWS 19:11 HIS COMPASSION, HIS MERCY. 19:16 AND THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THE TEXT SAYS THOSE ANGELS PUT THEIR 19:20 HANDS ON THEM AND LED THEM OUT. 19:23 PULLED THEM, SHOWING MERCY TO THEM. 19:27 SOMETIMES MERCY EXPRESSES ITSELF IN THE ACTIVE VOICE. 19:36 SOMETIMES MERCY CAN'T JUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE PAT ON THE 19:41 BACK OR TELL YOU IT'S OKAY. 19:42 SOMETIMES MERCY DOES MORE THAN SAY YOUR SINS ARE 19:46 FORGIVEN BY THE BLOOD. 19:47 SOMETIMES MERCY MUST BE ACTIVE. 19:51 AND ON THAT DAY, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T MOVE FAST ENOUGH, 19:56 THE ANGELS TOOK THEM OUT TO A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD 19:58 MEET WITH SOMEBODY WHO HAD GREAT AUTHORITY. 20:03 AND IT WAS JESUS WHO SAID, GET OUT OF HERE. 20:08 FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE. 20:10 ESCAPE FOR YOUR LIFE. 20:12 AND I BELIEVE, IN FACT, IF YOU GO TO LUKE, CHAPTER 17, 20:17 START WITH ABOUT 28, VERSE 28, YOU WILL SEE WHERE IT SAYS 20:22 THAT JUST AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, JUST AS IT WAS 20:27 IN THE DAYS OF LOT, SO SHALL IT BE AT THE END OF TIME. 20:35 ARE YOU READY TO LISTEN NOW ? 20:36 I'M GOING TO PREACH FOR A MINUTE. 20:42 WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE YOU MOVE ? 20:47 THERE ARE INFIDELS WHO KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS 20:52 DIFFERENT ABOUT TODAY. 20:55 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE AGNOSTICS WHO KNOW 20:59 THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE TIMES. 21:02 THE STATISTICIANS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THEY CAN'T 21:05 GET A BEAD ON ANY OPINION IN THE UNITED STATES ANYMORE. 21:10 OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. 21:12 OUR OPINIONS ARE MERCURIC. 21:14 THEY'RE HERE TODAY, THERE TOMORROW. 21:17 THEY TAKE A POLL IN THE MORNING, IT CHANGES IN THE AFTERNOON. 21:20 TOMORROW IT'S ALL THE WAY UPSIDE DOWN. 21:22 THAT'S WHY NOBODY CAN PREDICT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. 21:25 BECAUSE THE BRAIN POWER OF THE CORPORATE WORLD IS SWEPT UP INTO 21:31 A MIND SET THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY OR OBJECTIVITY. 21:36 IT'S BEING CONTROLLED BY A POWER BEYOND US. 21:40 AND FOR MOST PEOPLE, IT'S NOT THE POWER OF GOD. 21:44 IT'S DIABOLICAL. 21:46 SO YOU TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT PEOPLE DO AND WHAT THEY SAY. 21:50 YOUR FRIENDS SAY THINGS TO YOU THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. 21:53 THEY SAY THEY LOVE YOU, BUT THEY HURT YOU. 21:56 YOU TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO PLACES WHERE YOU PAY FOR THEM 21:58 TO BE CARED FOR, BUT INSTEAD THEY HURT YOUR CHILDREN. 22:02 YOU GO TO PLACES WHERE YOU PAY TO EAT, AND THEY SERVE 22:04 YOU FOOD THAT WILL KILL YOU. 22:07 YOU BUY A CAR THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE WORTHY OF RIDING DOWN 22:10 THE ROAD, AND THEN A PIECE OF IT FALLS OFF. 22:13 AND YOU BEGIN TO WONDER WHAT'S GOING WRONG WITH THE WORLD ?
