Welcome back to
Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:00:38.15\00:00:40.25
Our message today
is gonna be entitled
00:00:40.91\00:00:42.61
"Walking with
God". "Walking with God,"
00:00:42.83\00:00:45.21
have you ever
thought about that?
00:00:45.42\00:00:46.48
What does it intend?
00:00:46.71\00:00:47.77
What does it mean to
actually walk with God?
00:00:47.97\00:00:50.33
Can you walk with God?
00:00:50.54\00:00:52.07
There's been many testimonies
and scripture that say
00:00:52.28\00:00:54.71
that men and
women have walk with God
00:00:54.93\00:00:57.10
and I know that you can too.
00:00:57.32\00:00:59.06
Let's look at a promise
that God has given us in
00:00:59.28\00:01:02.03
Second Timothy chapter 1,
00:01:02.22\00:01:03.88
and we are
gonna look at verse 7.
00:01:04.07\00:01:05.60
The Second Timothy
chapter 1 and verse 7,
00:01:05.82\00:01:09.47
I love this promise it says,
00:01:09.68\00:01:11.64
"For God hath not given
us the spirit of fear. "
00:01:11.85\00:01:15.31
I don't know anyone in
this world that would relish
00:01:15.53\00:01:18.72
the thought of
having the spirit of fear,
00:01:18.94\00:01:21.10
I certainly don't, but
God's promise are this he says,
00:01:21.42\00:01:24.67
"But of power, Holy
Spirit power, and of love,
00:01:24.89\00:01:29.25
and of a sound mind. " You
know, God is all about love
00:01:29.48\00:01:33.15
and everything
that we do as we begin
00:01:33.35\00:01:35.93
that spiritual journey
with God, as we walk with him,
00:01:36.12\00:01:39.51
as we talk with him,
as we draw closer to him
00:01:39.72\00:01:41.95
and worship him and prayer and,
00:01:42.16\00:01:44.83
and witnessing
being his witnesses.
00:01:45.05\00:01:46.78
Everything we do
needs to be encompassed,
00:01:47.00\00:01:50.34
relished about
with love, Godly love.
00:01:50.55\00:01:54.07
And I love this next
part of, a sound mind,
00:01:54.29\00:01:57.70
how many of you would
desire to have a sound mind,
00:01:57.90\00:02:00.76
we live in such a
chaotic world and so many things
00:02:00.97\00:02:04.28
are attacking our mind, why?
00:02:04.49\00:02:06.69
Because, if the devil if Satan
can get control of our mind,
00:02:06.92\00:02:10.70
he knows he's got us
for eternity, so God says,
00:02:10.90\00:02:13.83
hey my gift to you
is a sound mind, peace,
00:02:13.86\00:02:16.29
Love and power
and the Holy Spirit,
00:02:16.51\00:02:18.53
praise the Lord for those
promises and don't you desire,
00:02:18.76\00:02:22.12
don't you desire to
have those promises,
00:02:22.35\00:02:24.53
I know I do and it's so
wonderful because as we walk
00:02:24.81\00:02:28.80
with God and as
we talk with him,
00:02:29.02\00:02:30.56
and we get begin to
make him a part of our life,
00:02:30.79\00:02:32.95
he begins to change us,
00:02:33.17\00:02:34.86
he renews us
from the inside out.
00:02:35.07\00:02:37.87
What a friend we have in Jesus.
00:02:38.09\00:02:40.28
Beautiful thought,
it's also a beautiful song,
00:02:40.53\00:02:43.95
we are gonna go
back to 3ABN's worship
00:02:44.15\00:02:47.07
center and Lyndon
Carriger has got sing for us,
00:02:47.28\00:02:50.58
as he's gonna prepare
our hearts for the message,
00:02:50.78\00:02:52.82
what a friend we have in Jesus.
00:02:53.07\00:02:55.59
What a friend we have in Jesus,
00:02:58.35\00:03:07.40
All our sins and griefs to bear!
00:03:07.65\00:03:15.81
What a privilege to carry
00:03:16.04\00:03:24.74
Everything to God in prayer!
00:03:24.95\00:03:34.60
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
00:03:34.82\00:03:43.20
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
00:03:43.41\00:03:51.13
All because we do not carry
00:03:51.35\00:04:00.53
Everything to God in prayer!
00:04:00.75\00:04:08.42
Have we trials and temptations?
00:04:08.65\00:04:17.84
Is there trouble anywhere?
00:04:18.05\00:04:26.53
We should never be discouraged
00:04:26.75\00:04:35.19
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
00:04:35.40\00:04:43.87
Can we find a
friend so faithful,
00:04:44.09\00:04:52.62
Who will all our sorrows share?
00:04:52.82\00:04:59.87
Jesus knows our every weakness;
00:05:00.10\00:05:09.26
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
00:05:09.48\00:05:18.38
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
00:05:36.16\00:05:43.21
Cumbered with a load of care?
00:05:43.46\00:05:52.31
Precious
Savior, still our refuge
00:05:52.52\00:06:00.83
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
00:06:01.04\00:06:08.83
Do thy friends
despise, forsake thee?
00:06:09.03\00:06:16.93
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
00:06:17.15\00:06:24.92
In His arms He'll
take and shield thee,
00:06:25.16\00:06:34.79
Thou wilt find a solace there.
00:06:35.01\00:06:43.74
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
00:06:43.96\00:07:00.19
Thank you, very much
Lyndon for that beautiful song,
00:07:05.81\00:07:07.78
in fact that's
one of my favorites.
00:07:08.01\00:07:09.96
What a friend we have in Jesus,
00:07:10.17\00:07:12.12
and certainly that is the case.
00:07:12.35\00:07:13.87
I hope he is your
best friend today.
00:07:14.07\00:07:15.81
By the way, welcome to
everyone where ever you may
00:07:16.00\00:07:18.23
be joining us around the world
00:07:18.44\00:07:19.59
we are glad that
you here with us,
00:07:19.80\00:07:22.02
and we are gonna
be studying God's word
00:07:22.24\00:07:23.70
and as we study God's
word, I want you get your Bible,
00:07:23.93\00:07:26.36
pencil or pen, start jotting
down some of these saying,
00:07:26.58\00:07:30.30
so that we can go back
study to show ourselves
00:07:30.48\00:07:33.24
approved unto God, but a
good policy always as before
00:07:33.44\00:07:37.35
we get into God's word
is to have a word of prayer.
00:07:37.54\00:07:39.85
Won't you do that with
me, where it's possible
00:07:40.08\00:07:41.72
just kneel down or if it's
not you're driving whatever
00:07:41.93\00:07:44.21
it might be, you can
still lift your voice in prayer,
00:07:44.41\00:07:46.93
let's pray together.
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:07:47.16\00:07:51.58
we thank to you for
the privilege of prayer,
00:07:51.80\00:07:53.63
thank you that we
can call you our Father.
00:07:53.85\00:07:55.44
Today we invite the
Holy Spirit to give us proper
00:07:55.66\00:07:58.41
understanding of
your word, how desperately
00:07:58.61\00:08:00.88
we need a closer
relationship with you.
00:08:01.08\00:08:02.71
And as we open these
beautiful pages of the Bible,
00:08:02.94\00:08:08.01
we pray the words will
come alive, the Holy Spirit
00:08:08.22\00:08:12.03
would touch them we'll
be able to understand them
00:08:12.23\00:08:14.17
and it will
change our lives forever,
00:08:14.40\00:08:16.25
give you praise
and honor and glory.
00:08:16.47\00:08:18.52
Bless everyone, each
one who watches and listens,
00:08:18.72\00:08:21.26
may it be a life
changing experience,
00:08:21.49\00:08:23.84
in Jesus name, amen.
00:08:24.03\00:08:26.35
Well, again we are glad
that you're with us and again
00:08:28.49\00:08:31.38
I want to get that Bible,
give you another opportunity
00:08:31.62\00:08:33.01
in case you've forgotten
and by the way you know,
00:08:33.23\00:08:35.54
you know, we don't
need to be getting up
00:08:35.75\00:08:37.10
and taking breaks
and so on so forth.
00:08:37.31\00:08:38.89
I want you stay right
here because you know,
00:08:39.11\00:08:40.64
we can't afford to miss
one single word, right from God
00:08:40.85\00:08:44.23
that he is gonna be
speaking to us today.
00:08:44.45\00:08:45.94
Our subject by the
way is "Walking with God,"
00:08:46.17\00:08:48.50
and that to me
pop some questions,
00:08:48.72\00:08:52.49
if we're gonna walk
with God, we are gonna look
00:08:52.71\00:08:54.99
at the experience of one man.
00:08:55.20\00:08:57.08
Now, this one man by the
way, he is a man that just
00:08:57.29\00:09:02.04
I get inspired every time that,
00:09:02.24\00:09:04.02
in fact that I
mentioned his name.
00:09:04.24\00:09:05.56
And we will see as we
begin to study about this man.
00:09:05.79\00:09:08.90
See what it does
to you, by the way
00:09:09.11\00:09:10.39
and your
relationship with Jesus,
00:09:10.61\00:09:12.60
but as we study this
man is more than just a man,
00:09:12.83\00:09:15.07
it's a man that I want to say
00:09:15.31\00:09:17.66
he was after the heart of God.
00:09:17.86\00:09:19.06
And a man that represents
the people that will be alive
00:09:19.29\00:09:23.65
on earth when Jesus comes.
00:09:23.88\00:09:25.76
So, it has to do with
some character building blocks
00:09:25.99\00:09:30.45
here that we want to
look at very closely.
00:09:30.65\00:09:32.15
And so I want to
ask you these questions,
00:09:32.37\00:09:34.29
you take that pencil
and paper and just jotting
00:09:34.51\00:09:36.06
them down and by God's
grace, we are gonna answer these
00:09:36.27\00:09:37.81
you know, what kind of
character did this man have?
00:09:38.01\00:09:41.09
What kind of
character did he have?
00:09:41.32\00:09:43.50
And what did this he do
to develop this character?
00:09:43.71\00:09:48.91
Now, after all remember
he represents the people
00:09:49.12\00:09:52.36
that where when Jesus comes
we will be going to heaven.
00:09:52.57\00:09:55.53
So, there must be something
very special about this
00:09:55.75\00:09:58.12
character that means
I have to be like that,
00:09:58.31\00:10:00.38
you have to be like
that. And number three;
00:10:00.58\00:10:02.41
in order for us to go to heaven
00:10:02.63\00:10:05.06
must we have these
same characteristics.
00:10:05.27\00:10:07.70
This is a good study and
by the way you don't want
00:10:07.93\00:10:10.94
to miss it because
this will be life changing.
00:10:11.16\00:10:13.72
I hope you always pray
for that by the way everyday
00:10:13.94\00:10:16.25
I do. And praying
first of all is you know,
00:10:16.46\00:10:19.15
not my will, but
God's will be done.
00:10:19.35\00:10:22.13
And then we
submit our will to him.
00:10:22.34\00:10:23.98
So, as we study the word
we're gonna submit our will
00:10:24.18\00:10:25.91
to him, our mind, our
energy, everything that we have
00:10:26.10\00:10:28.91
we submit to God say. Now,
God help me to see something
00:10:29.12\00:10:32.06
in this message that will
change my heart and my life.
00:10:32.28\00:10:35.54
Now, there's many people
by the way that just study
00:10:35.77\00:10:38.40
the Bible quite regularly,
but they have maybe a little
00:10:38.60\00:10:42.37
difficult time with things
and when you say character,
00:10:42.58\00:10:45.68
so why don't we
define character.
00:10:45.95\00:10:49.09
Otherwise my
character has to change,
00:10:49.33\00:10:50.88
what does that really mean?
00:10:51.12\00:10:52.52
I know, when I was
younger running around the house
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.92
and maybe friends would
come over and my dad would say
00:10:56.13\00:10:58.75
to me something like this,
00:10:58.97\00:11:00.03
he said that friend of
yours he is a character.
00:11:00.24\00:11:03.55
I thought well that's
good and that can't be,
00:11:03.76\00:11:06.20
but what was my dad saying?
00:11:06.40\00:11:08.12
He made that
judgment on how the boy acted.
00:11:08.34\00:11:12.50
The way that he
talked, the way that he played
00:11:12.67\00:11:14.66
and so on. So,
that's kind of what we are,
00:11:14.87\00:11:16.82
our character is
what, what we say,
00:11:17.04\00:11:19.16
what we do, what we really are?
00:11:19.37\00:11:20.91
So, being a character
you know, I looked at up,
00:11:21.14\00:11:23.86
I said I need to know a
little bit more about that,
00:11:24.09\00:11:26.01
character is a
distinctive trait.
00:11:29.62\00:11:33.28
And by the way
everybody has distinctive
00:11:33.51\00:11:36.43
characteristics, don't
they? Not everybody's the same,
00:11:36.65\00:11:39.15
we're all a
little bit different,but
00:11:39.36\00:11:40.71
what kind of characteristics
do you have today?
00:11:40.74\00:11:44.32
You know, I want my
characteristics by the way
00:11:44.55\00:11:47.14
to be like Jesus. As we
study this man we will find his
00:11:47.35\00:11:50.57
characteristics was like Jesus
00:11:50.78\00:11:52.19
and how these
things will developed.
00:11:52.40\00:11:53.87
Now, if we think
about this word character
00:11:54.10\00:11:58.34
or characteristics, it's
actually how one behaves.
00:11:58.55\00:12:01.31
How do you behave, how
do I behave in different
00:12:01.53\00:12:04.85
circumstances of life?
By the way, character's
00:12:05.04\00:12:08.32
personality, as I
looked it up, it said
00:12:08.54\00:12:10.46
character proves, is
tested by the way when something
00:12:10.67\00:12:15.92
goes wrong in my life.
Think about it, your character
00:12:16.12\00:12:20.05
is tested when
something goes wrong.
00:12:20.28\00:12:23.09
Character is really not
tested when everything is going
00:12:23.31\00:12:26.16
smooth and easy go.
It's when it's challenged,
00:12:26.39\00:12:30.56
but you know I believe
this a person who is filled
00:12:30.78\00:12:33.66
with the spirit of
God, when they are tested
00:12:33.90\00:12:37.78
and proved you know
what's going to happen?
00:12:38.00\00:12:40.06
They are gonna be
tha same kind of person,
00:12:40.29\00:12:41.97
they are gonn be that person
00:12:42.19\00:12:43.25
he is gonna be like Jesus.
00:12:43.47\00:12:44.49
They are gonna be able
to handle that situation;
00:12:44.71\00:12:46.40
we are not going to change.
00:12:46.64\00:12:48.32
So, a man or a woman
that is filled with what?
00:12:48.56\00:12:52.07
The spirit of God, listen
to this, the more severely
00:12:52.27\00:12:56.02
that he is tested and
tried the more clearly
00:12:56.24\00:13:00.94
that he proves,
listen that he proves
00:13:01.15\00:13:03.54
that he is a
representative of Jesus Christ.
00:13:03.77\00:13:07.45
Now, did you get that?
It took me a little while
00:13:07.68\00:13:10.28
to kind of decipher
that, but the more severely
00:13:10.49\00:13:13.56
that I'm tested and
proved the more clearly
00:13:13.77\00:13:17.42
it becomes to our parent
that I'm a child of God, right?
00:13:17.45\00:13:21.52
If we hold on to his hand,
in fact we are going to set
00:13:21.55\00:13:26.21
kind of a little mark that
we want to reach by the grace
00:13:26.40\00:13:29.31
of God in this
study. And so this mark
00:13:29.52\00:13:32.04
that is set before
us today is simply this,
00:13:32.27\00:13:34.00
perfection of character.
After all we're going to be
00:13:34.25\00:13:38.20
walking with
God and what happens
00:13:38.40\00:13:39.67
when you walk with God day
by day, is your life change,
00:13:39.87\00:13:43.44
is the life
changing events happening.
00:13:43.66\00:13:45.78
You know, I like that, I
heard my brother say one time
00:13:46.01\00:13:48.45
he said you know, I
like to be around movers
00:13:48.65\00:13:50.23
and shakers. And I've
adopted that and I said
00:13:50.46\00:13:53.18
you know what I do
too. I love to be around,
00:13:53.40\00:13:55.17
what does that mean
about movers and shakers?
00:13:55.41\00:13:57.26
That means
something is taking place,
00:13:57.49\00:13:59.19
something is
happening and everyday in your
00:13:59.40\00:14:02.11
in your Christian
experience if it's the same,
00:14:02.34\00:14:03.55
may I say same, you
know, same, same old.
00:14:03.78\00:14:06.09
Then there's something's wrong.
00:14:06.33\00:14:08.18
I believe everyday
with Jesus can be sweeter
00:14:08.42\00:14:11.82
than the day before.
00:14:12.08\00:14:13.20
Everyday with
Jesus can be different,
00:14:13.45\00:14:16.42
everyday with Jesus
should bring new challenges,
00:14:16.66\00:14:19.68
new victories. And so
I believe this passage
00:14:19.89\00:14:22.98
of scripture that would
just, what would fit us,
00:14:23.21\00:14:25.39
if we listen to it
very carefully find
00:14:25.61\00:14:27.81
in the Book of
Colossians chapter 2 verse 10.
00:14:28.01\00:14:30.87
Very simple, but now
please listen it says,
00:14:31.10\00:14:33.30
"Ye are complete in him. "
00:14:33.52\00:14:37.57
Now, notice complete
who, in him, which is the head
00:14:37.79\00:14:40.91
of all principality and power.
00:14:41.13\00:14:43.77
Now, we are what?
We are complete in him.
00:14:44.00\00:14:47.60
I wondered about
that word principality,
00:14:47.81\00:14:50.34
I don't know about
you, you hear this things,
00:14:50.57\00:14:52.75
okay I understand.
Principality it says,
00:14:52.97\00:14:55.45
we are complete in him,
00:14:55.67\00:14:56.64
which is a head
of all principality.
00:14:56.78\00:14:58.25
You know, what that means?
That means, he is the chief,
00:14:58.49\00:15:01.42
Ah! We become complete in
Jesus because now I can say
00:15:01.65\00:15:06.89
this nicely
because he is the chief.
00:15:07.07\00:15:08.82
He is the
cornerstone by the way in time,
00:15:09.08\00:15:14.04
in place, in rank; he is
first that's what this word
00:15:14.28\00:15:20.30
really means. He is the
corner, as I read in my Bible
00:15:20.51\00:15:24.09
by the way, he is
referred to many times says
00:15:24.30\00:15:26.15
the chief cornerstone.
So, think about having someone
00:15:26.39\00:15:31.13
like this on your side.
Day- by-day regardless of what
00:15:31.34\00:15:35.29
you go through, to have
someone here who we become
00:15:35.49\00:15:38.94
complete in and
because he is the chief,
00:15:39.15\00:15:42.17
because he is the
first, and he is the last
00:15:42.41\00:15:44.71
And then the word at
the end says, we empower,
00:15:44.94\00:15:47.79
think how many Christian
lives really don't have the
00:15:48.01\00:15:52.94
Holy Spirit power. I
had a lady who used to call
00:15:53.14\00:15:57.40
quite regularly and
she say, brother Kenny,
00:15:57.62\00:16:00.80
I want you to, I
want you to pray for me
00:16:01.01\00:16:02.63
I said sure I'd be
glad to pray for you
00:16:02.85\00:16:05.45
And then she would
go and tell me what
00:16:05.68\00:16:08.21
we want to pray
about, and I said,
00:16:08.43\00:16:09.76
well okay you want to
pray for, no, no you go ahead
00:16:09.98\00:16:12.78
and you do the
praying Now, I said you know,
00:16:12.99\00:16:16.08
I am reading the
Bible whether that you know,
00:16:16.27\00:16:17.53
we have a situation
where the physical, spiritual,
00:16:17.76\00:16:20.05
Jesus said to a
woman one time he said,
00:16:20.27\00:16:22.58
thy faith had made thee whole.
00:16:22.79\00:16:25.37
So, I said, you need
to have faith and, Oh! No,
00:16:25.58\00:16:28.01
when I pray here's
what I believe, when I pray
00:16:28.22\00:16:30.11
I don't believe that
my prays go any higher
00:16:30.38\00:16:33.13
than the ceiling.
I said you know what
00:16:33.35\00:16:36.19
you're exactly
right It shocked her,
00:16:36.41\00:16:38.29
what? I said that's
the measure of your faith,
00:16:38.52\00:16:42.44
how far do your prayers go?
00:16:42.67\00:16:43.74
Now, they just go and
bounce off the ceiling
00:16:43.97\00:16:46.49
I said it really won't do
you any good to pray then,
00:16:46.71\00:16:49.13
boy that was a shocker.
Well, what do you think about,
00:16:49.35\00:16:52.15
I said listen my
Bible tells me very clearly
00:16:52.41\00:16:54.67
that I may go boldly to
the throne room of God, why?
00:16:54.90\00:16:59.44
Not, because I'm
any good, but by faith
00:16:59.65\00:17:01.56
because of who he is, I
go boldly to the throne,
00:17:01.77\00:17:05.54
don't hesitate about it,
I'm gonna get down to business
00:17:05.75\00:17:08.38
because that's what
God says that I could do.
00:17:08.60\00:17:10.54
That's beautiful I become what?
00:17:10.75\00:17:12.46
Complete in his
power and that power means
00:17:12.68\00:17:15.61
in his authority
that means in his strength
00:17:15.83\00:17:18.46
and that means with his force
00:17:18.67\00:17:21.95
And another word that
I though was beautiful
00:17:22.18\00:17:24.59
when you begin to look
it little bit in the Greek
00:17:24.81\00:17:27.29
and so on, this may
blow some of your minds,
00:17:27.48\00:17:30.10
I really don't want you
to do that, but it says,
00:17:30.31\00:17:32.14
super human, super
human that's the power
00:17:32.36\00:17:38.86
that you believe that
Christ has super human power
00:17:39.06\00:17:41.87
you better believe it.
00:17:42.08\00:17:43.29
Absolutely,
nothing gets past God.
00:17:43.54\00:17:48.44
He is the originator of all.
00:17:48.66\00:17:51.70
And so we are looking
at this man here who was
00:17:51.92\00:17:55.52
translated without seeing death.
00:17:55.75\00:17:59.55
Now, that's interesting,
it's not just a story
00:17:59.78\00:18:02.96
about this man, but
it's a story about those
00:18:03.18\00:18:05.42
who are alive at the
coming of Jesus the second time,
00:18:05.63\00:18:10.29
if God took this man,
there must be something
00:18:10.50\00:18:14.37
about him that God
said was acceptable
00:18:14.58\00:18:16.48
and if it was
acceptable at that time listen
00:18:16.81\00:18:19.09
it's acceptable now. And
he is not gonna take anybody
00:18:19.29\00:18:21.91
any different than that.
We're talking about character
00:18:22.11\00:18:24.30
here, aren't we? So,
the important thing is here,
00:18:24.51\00:18:27.05
he represents those who
will be alive and translated
00:18:27.27\00:18:31.46
at the coming of Jesus,
listen, I want to be apart
00:18:31.68\00:18:36.16
of that, how about
you? Oh I hope you do,
00:18:36.36\00:18:38.94
some of you must say Oh!
You know what, oh I do. Oh!
00:18:39.15\00:18:43.15
It's gonna be too
much, Oh! It is for you and
00:18:43.35\00:18:44.85
this for me, it's not for Jesus.
00:18:45.05\00:18:46.57
I want to be, if God
sees alive and translated
00:18:46.78\00:18:50.09
without seeing
death. And you know what
00:18:50.31\00:18:52.47
it's possible. Why
because I'm so good?
00:18:52.70\00:18:54.92
No, but because of who Jesus is.
00:18:55.13\00:18:58.64
I think that's so
important for us to realize
00:18:58.86\00:19:01.87
that we need to get
away from looking at our self
00:19:02.08\00:19:04.99
all the time; we need to
be looking who? To Jesus, to
00:19:05.19\00:19:07.43
look to yourself is failure
to look to myself is fair.
00:19:07.65\00:19:11.40
But not to look to Jesus,
is complete victory in him.
00:19:11.61\00:19:14.75
So, as we go through this
subject of walking with God.
00:19:14.96\00:19:19.36
You know how
beautiful, is that something
00:19:19.58\00:19:22.55
new in scripture?
Walking with God, no.
00:19:22.76\00:19:26.05
Remember in the very beginning
in the Book of Genesis,
00:19:26.30\00:19:30.11
God he walked with whom?
00:19:30.32\00:19:32.82
He walked with Adam and Eve.
00:19:33.05\00:19:35.99
He walked with him
you know, in the evening
00:19:36.22\00:19:38.94
and he talked
to them before sin.
00:19:39.16\00:19:40.95
God is always wanted
to be with his children.
00:19:41.25\00:19:45.33
He's always wanted to
bless to be, to be close to us,
00:19:45.55\00:19:49.77
but you know,
this thing sin came in
00:19:49.97\00:19:51.51
and has separated us,
if you have your Bibles
00:19:51.72\00:19:54.92
I want you to turn with me.
00:19:55.11\00:19:56.08
The Book of Hebrews I'm
going to do that right here,
00:19:56.09\00:19:58.86
the book of Hebrews.
Those of you where you can
00:19:58.89\00:20:02.14
You turn me to
the book of Hebrews.
00:20:02.17\00:20:04.43
Now many people will
say Hebrews Chapter 11
00:20:04.46\00:20:07.22
what would you
say? He would say,
00:20:07.38\00:20:09.08
well that is the faith chapter.
00:20:09.29\00:20:11.55
We are going to go
through all of that,
00:20:11.76\00:20:13.81
but I do I want to bring
out some very, very important
00:20:14.01\00:20:15.90
points in Hebrews
chapter 11. I'm going to read
00:20:16.11\00:20:19.17
a couple of verses.
Now, these verses I hope
00:20:19.38\00:20:22.34
they set you on fire as
much they have been setting
00:20:22.54\00:20:24.95
me on fire. See,
when I read God's word
00:20:25.15\00:20:27.48
I don't plan on
just reading God's word,
00:20:27.69\00:20:29.60
and letting it down, it
didn't do anything for me
00:20:29.81\00:20:31.85
or in me, but every time
I read the word I thoroughly
00:20:32.06\00:20:35.41
believe that God is
speaking to me from the book,
00:20:35.62\00:20:39.32
from the Bible. How
about you? When you read it,
00:20:39.53\00:20:41.96
it says love letter to me.
When I read it, I know that
00:20:42.17\00:20:45.07
he is going to speak to
me. And I need to listen,
00:20:45.31\00:20:48.28
and I need to respond,
and I need to be obedient
00:20:48.49\00:20:52.47
to his word. Notice,
Hebrews chapter 11 verse 6,
00:20:52.74\00:20:57.74
Bible is very clear it
says, "But without faith, good
00:20:57.96\00:21:02.68
I think heard someone
without faith it is impossible
00:21:02.90\00:21:06.20
to please him. " To
please whom? To please God.
00:21:06.46\00:21:10.32
And there's many people
Christians who will say Ah!
00:21:10.53\00:21:13.57
I don't really have any faith.
00:21:13.78\00:21:14.88
Oh! Don't you kid yourself.
Bible says, God has given
00:21:15.10\00:21:18.65
everybody a little
measure of that faith,
00:21:18.85\00:21:20.44
what you are gonna do
with that? You want it to grow.
00:21:20.66\00:21:22.78
Bible says this,
listen faith cometh by
00:21:22.99\00:21:24.46
hearing-and-hearing
by the word of God.
00:21:24.68\00:21:27.85
You want your faith to
grow then faith cometh by what?
00:21:28.06\00:21:30.86
Hearing, put yourself in
a position to where you can
00:21:31.06\00:21:34.85
hear the word of
God, go where you can hear
00:21:35.05\00:21:37.40
the word of God. It
takes whatever it might be,
00:21:37.61\00:21:39.41
preaching services;
hearing by the word of God
00:21:39.63\00:21:43.60
that faith in it
is going to increase.
00:21:43.86\00:21:45.57
So, get this point quickly
faith without faith it is
00:21:45.79\00:21:49.65
impossible you can't
please God without faith.
00:21:49.86\00:21:51.54
So, if you don't have that
faith, say O God I need some
00:21:51.75\00:21:54.25
faith because I
want to please you.
00:21:54.45\00:21:55.71
Notice this, "For
he that cometh to God,
00:21:55.92\00:21:58.52
reading on verse 6,
must believe that he is,
00:21:58.75\00:22:01.70
and that he is a
rewarder of those who diligently
00:22:02.00\00:22:06.71
seek him. " Now,
to me the key word is,
00:22:06.92\00:22:09.11
diligently seek him.
We've got to seek him,
00:22:09.31\00:22:11.70
but we have to do it what?
00:22:11.80\00:22:13.25
Diligently, we have to do
it as though we're digging
00:22:13.84\00:22:15.43
for that?
Treasures! Hidden treasures,
00:22:15.65\00:22:17.91
we can't let anything
stop us, we can't let anything
00:22:18.13\00:22:21.51
get in our way, but I have
to diligently be seeking him.
00:22:21.73\00:22:25.89
And then as I read
verse 5, I get these things
00:22:26.11\00:22:30.01
you know what they're called?
00:22:30.34\00:22:32.92
Now, some of you don't,
you're not going to get this,
00:22:33.13\00:22:35.80
but you know, I'm going
to give it to you anyway.
00:22:36.02\00:22:38.02
I call them Spiritual
Goose bumps if you've never
00:22:38.24\00:22:41.99
had spiritual goose
bumps pop out all over you
00:22:42.22\00:22:44.65
with the name of Jesus.
Something that he's done
00:22:44.85\00:22:47.21
in your life you know
what? You have missed it.
00:22:47.42\00:22:49.22
I get those
every once in a while.
00:22:49.44\00:22:51.66
And you know, when I
get those I'm talking some
00:22:51.89\00:22:57.42
physical bumps
come up. Oh! Yeah,
00:22:57.63\00:23:00.99
I heard someone say, well
you know, the world you know,
00:23:01.19\00:23:02.28
and we're living by faith,
we are not living by faith,
00:23:03.60\00:23:05.34
I understand that,
but I tell you when my God
00:23:05.54\00:23:07.63
touches me and
when he touches you,
00:23:07.86\00:23:09.69
there is gonna be some
bumps. And I get bumps;
00:23:09.90\00:23:15.39
I get bumps, when
I read verse five.
00:23:15.61\00:23:18.40
Well, let's do that,
shall we Hebrews chapter 11
00:23:18.62\00:23:20.61
verse 5, it says, By
faith Enoch, Oh! I've given it
00:23:20.82\00:23:24.55
away, this is a man who
we're talking about, Enoch.
00:23:24.75\00:23:26.44
Oh! Everybody know Enoch,
but it says, by faith Enoch
00:23:26.64\00:23:29.45
was translated that
he should not see death.
00:23:29.67\00:23:33.22
So, once again by the way
as we're learning together
00:23:33.44\00:23:36.43
here today, he
represents the people,
00:23:36.63\00:23:38.64
that's going to be
translated when Jesus comes
00:23:38.86\00:23:42.04
the second time
without seeing death.
00:23:42.26\00:23:45.70
Some of you say now,
hold on, now wait a minute,
00:23:45.93\00:23:48.41
hey look, when you
take your Bible and you have
00:23:48.64\00:23:50.62
opportunity you want to
jot down, let's jot down little
00:23:50.84\00:23:53.20
First Thessalonians
4:16 and 17. Bible says that,
00:23:53.41\00:23:57.13
the death in
Christ shall rise first.
00:23:57.35\00:23:58.99
We which are alive, what?
00:23:59.22\00:24:01.92
Alive and remain will
be caught up to meet him
00:24:02.15\00:24:08.80
in the air, we which what?
00:24:09.00\00:24:10.41
Are alive and remain
we are going to be caught
00:24:10.64\00:24:12.90
up in the air. And so
shall we ever be with him.
00:24:13.11\00:24:16.75
Oh! How beautiful that is?
00:24:16.96\00:24:18.76
So, there will be individuals
alive when Jesus comes
00:24:18.99\00:24:22.33
they won't see death,
they are going to be translated
00:24:22.55\00:24:24.71
and here it says,
here he didn't see death,
00:24:24.93\00:24:27.99
they shall not see death
and was not found because
00:24:28.21\00:24:30.73
God did something,
what? When they begin to look
00:24:30.95\00:24:34.30
around for Enoch,
he couldn't be found.
00:24:34.51\00:24:37.06
Today, we dial 911, we
put them on the milk cartons,
00:24:37.29\00:24:43.09
are you still with
me? We've lost him,
00:24:43.29\00:24:45.43
he was here walking
around and all the sudden now,
00:24:45.66\00:24:48.69
you know, he is
not here anymore.
00:24:48.89\00:24:50.03
Somebody say, where
is dad, somebody say,
00:24:50.27\00:24:52.65
where is grandpa?
Bible said, he was not found,
00:24:52.85\00:24:59.56
to be found I mean
somebody was looking for him
00:24:59.78\00:25:02.83
and especially such a
man as Enoch, such a man
00:25:03.05\00:25:07.90
that had certain, made
such an impression on those
00:25:08.10\00:25:10.11
all about him. When he
came up missing they wonder
00:25:10.33\00:25:15.20
what happened, you know
what I believe a lot of people
00:25:15.41\00:25:17.17
understood because of his life.
00:25:17.39\00:25:19.33
How about your life
today? How about my life today?
00:25:19.56\00:25:23.31
Now, the Bible says we
continue reading verse 5,
00:25:23.53\00:25:26.75
God had what? Translated
him here is where I start
00:25:26.96\00:25:32.62
getting those
spiritual goose bumps.
00:25:32.82\00:25:34.52
Here is where my feet
want to work a little bit,
00:25:34.75\00:25:36.58
as people get turned
off sometime, but you know,
00:25:36.81\00:25:38.91
I just, I can't help
it. My feet want to works
00:25:39.13\00:25:41.26
sometimes, as I getting
down to the nitty gritty.
00:25:41.47\00:25:43.42
Nitty gritty for me is,
write this before he was
00:25:43.64\00:25:48.37
translated, he
had this testimony.
00:25:48.58\00:25:51.59
Wow! Before he was
translated he had this testimony
00:25:51.82\00:25:57.26
listen that he pleased
God, isn't that awesome?
00:25:57.47\00:26:03.68
I mean I've often, I've
often thought about that.
00:26:03.89\00:26:07.30
How about when God looks at you?
00:26:07.56\00:26:12.58
How about when
God speaks to you?
00:26:12.80\00:26:14.46
Maybe in the stillness of
the, we say the midnight hour.
00:26:14.68\00:26:16.88
What does he see? Is he
pleased when he sees you
00:26:17.11\00:26:22.90
and by the way some
of you, he sees you know,
00:26:23.09\00:26:25.94
the lights
maybe out he sees you.
00:26:26.16\00:26:27.45
You maybe thinking
nobody knows where you're at,
00:26:27.68\00:26:30.13
he knows where
you're at? But you know,
00:26:30.34\00:26:33.93
I'm just thinking Oh!
Bear with me, on a tombstone.
00:26:34.15\00:26:40.12
You see a lot of nice
things that are written, if you
00:26:40.34\00:26:44.27
know, how nice it would
be and verified by heaven,
00:26:44.47\00:26:51.26
if you had on
there he pleased God.
00:26:51.48\00:26:53.92
I'd love to
heard back and say, oh!
00:26:54.14\00:26:57.50
He was a good
husband, he was a good father,
00:26:57.71\00:26:59.06
all these are very, very
important. Somebody say, Oh!
00:26:59.28\00:27:01.31
He was a good
preacher, he was a good teacher,
00:27:01.52\00:27:03.67
he was a good,
these are all good,
00:27:03.88\00:27:06.19
but look wouldn't be
better to say he pleased God.
00:27:06.43\00:27:10.53
After all that's should be
our interest, shouldn't it?
00:27:10.77\00:27:14.88
We should be
willing, we should be willing
00:27:15.10\00:27:20.08
by the grace of God to
put him first and everything
00:27:20.29\00:27:22.83
to please him and here
is a man that pleased God.
00:27:23.04\00:27:25.71
Or a man that measured
up, how do you measure up
00:27:25.93\00:27:31.44
by the way today? The
Bible says, by faith Enoch
00:27:31.65\00:27:36.16
was translated that
he should not see death.
00:27:36.39\00:27:39.65
And I wondered about
this word because when I said,
00:27:39.88\00:27:45.04
he pleased God I'm saying,
well look if he please God,
00:27:45.24\00:27:48.54
God thought so
much of him and his life
00:27:48.77\00:27:51.05
was just right
that he translated him.
00:27:51.09\00:27:53.30
I need to know how am I
pleasing God, how about you?
00:27:53.34\00:27:56.36
A lot of people will say,
well I give about, listen.
00:27:56.58\00:28:00.52
He pleased God and I
look up that word he said,
00:28:00.74\00:28:04.69
he gratified God.
Interesting and the word was he
00:28:04.90\00:28:12.18
gratified God
entirely, think about it.
00:28:12.39\00:28:15.32
He was acceptable to God,
00:28:15.53\00:28:18.36
he was fully agreeable to God,
00:28:18.60\00:28:22.57
think how that must be
when God knows everything
00:28:22.79\00:28:27.23
about you and me and
everybody else in the world
00:28:27.44\00:28:30.57
he knows every
secret thing and he could
00:28:30.79\00:28:33.26
look at this man and he
could say that walked with him
00:28:33.47\00:28:36.57
and said, he is
fully agreeable with me.
00:28:36.79\00:28:39.92
I want to take
him, Wow! I like to have
00:28:40.15\00:28:45.77
that kind of life, I
want that life you know,
00:28:45.97\00:28:48.93
I know you do too. So,
we are dealing with what?
00:28:49.13\00:28:51.40
The issue of faith,
we are dealing with what
00:28:51.60\00:28:53.90
the Bible says is a substance.
I'm not going to dwell
00:28:54.11\00:28:57.27
on the faith chapter, but
I think it's very important
00:28:57.48\00:29:00.77
that we bringing out. The
Bible says, in Hebrews 11:1,
00:29:00.98\00:29:03.20
faith is a substance, and
as Christians you and I need
00:29:03.41\00:29:07.04
to reach out and
grab this substance,
00:29:07.25\00:29:09.67
it's not a some kind of a myth,
00:29:09.95\00:29:13.21
substance means
that it is a confidence,
00:29:13.45\00:29:18.24
a substance is an actual being,
00:29:19.02\00:29:23.56
a substance here is a reality.
00:29:23.78\00:29:27.58
So, our faith, right,
needs to be a reality.
00:29:27.79\00:29:33.08
It doesn't need to be a
put on, he might they fool
00:29:33.30\00:29:37.25
some of the
people some of the time,
00:29:37.45\00:29:38.42
but not all the
time, isn't that right.
00:29:38.80\00:29:40.14
What are we trying to
do, we go to church to fool
00:29:40.73\00:29:41.94
people or to please to God.
00:29:42.15\00:29:43.73
I'm much more
concerned about what God thinks
00:29:43.96\00:29:49.10
about me than what
man thinks about me.
00:29:49.30\00:29:51.41
Now, I want to be a
good representative to him,
00:29:51.64\00:29:54.03
but you know what some
people will just, no matter what
00:29:54.22\00:29:55.82
you say, no matter what
you do, no matter how you live,
00:29:56.31\00:29:57.57
they're going to talk about
you, they're going say things,
00:29:57.82\00:30:00.05
they're gonna
do the devils work,
00:30:00.09\00:30:01.86
but I'm more
interested in how God use me.
00:30:04.31\00:30:07.34
And I know you are too.
00:30:07.56\00:30:08.88
So, I'm looking at
genuine faith, genuine faith.
00:30:09.14\00:30:14.19
A faith that God
says is acceptable,
00:30:14.41\00:30:17.67
so it to me it rests
on something that is firm.
00:30:17.88\00:30:21.82
A substance, it's there,
I reach up, I can touch it,
00:30:22.03\00:30:28.04
a faith that rest upon
listen, sufficient evidence,
00:30:28.25\00:30:33.59
feel like me a lot of
times, I need sufficient
00:30:33.80\00:30:36.91
evident. Well, somebody
is trying to convince me
00:30:37.18\00:30:39.23
of something I'm not
sure, I'm going to need sombody
00:30:39.43\00:30:41.69
éconvince with some
evidence. Not just because
00:30:41.91\00:30:44.99
they said so, you know,
I need in fact I need more.
00:30:45.20\00:30:50.16
I see a TV ad one time
and a man was trying to sell
00:30:50.39\00:30:55.17
vacuum cleaners and so he
sucks up this bowling ball
00:30:55.37\00:30:58.82
and holds it over his head.
00:30:59.03\00:31:00.16
Some of you are not with me.
00:31:02.71\00:31:03.97
That convinced a lot
of people, but you know,
00:31:05.48\00:31:08.15
I need more than just an
advertisement to convince me
00:31:08.36\00:31:11.17
that I'm gonna hold
one of those over my head.
00:31:11.37\00:31:13.13
I need some weight of
what? I need some weight
00:31:13.34\00:31:15.28
of evidence here, something
firm, but it's still true
00:31:15.48\00:31:22.11
even though we
haven't seen it as it was,
00:31:22.33\00:31:25.14
we haven't seen it,
so by faith a Christian
00:31:25.37\00:31:28.50
then considers
himself already in possession
00:31:28.71\00:31:32.91
think with me, of
what he has been promised.
00:31:33.18\00:31:35.88
So, in God's word when
you read a promise friend,
00:31:36.08\00:31:38.44
listen when you read a
promise you have to believe it
00:31:38.65\00:31:40.92
as though you what?
Somebody said that you already
00:31:41.13\00:31:45.18
have it, that's how sure he is.
00:31:45.39\00:31:47.05
And then you go about
what? Thanking him forward
00:31:47.26\00:31:49.88
in advance or it might
be a little while in coming,
00:31:50.10\00:31:52.06
but you know, why?
Because God's got some things
00:31:52.26\00:31:53.94
to workout between you
and him, you know, that.
00:31:54.17\00:31:55.75
I've been through that,
00:31:55.96\00:31:57.16
I know you've
been through that too.
00:31:57.37\00:31:58.45
So, we lay claim
then on the Bible promises
00:31:59.95\00:32:03.76
and blessing. And
you know, what people
00:32:03.97\00:32:06.10
well I'll tell you, listen
we can have those blessings
00:32:06.32\00:32:09.22
right now. In this church
I love the little theme song
00:32:09.43\00:32:12.94
that we sing
blessings are refreshing,
00:32:13.16\00:32:16.48
friend, I need those blessings,
00:32:16.71\00:32:19.37
by faith I
receive those blessings.
00:32:19.59\00:32:21.90
In fact, we pray in
our home many, many times
00:32:22.13\00:32:24.73
I'm saying Lord thank
you for the, listen thank you
00:32:24.92\00:32:26.99
for the blessings that
you're sending our way.
00:32:27.19\00:32:30.18
How about you? I don't
know if it will happen or not?
00:32:30.38\00:32:34.31
I don't know,
what's going to happen?
00:32:34.51\00:32:36.37
You're a child of
God you should know.
00:32:36.60\00:32:40.12
Those blessings are
coming, they're there,
00:32:40.34\00:32:45.04
you can lay your hand and
lay claim to those blessings.
00:32:45.27\00:32:48.94
What's invisible
becomes visible through faith,
00:32:49.15\00:32:53.22
how did this man, how
did this, how that this man
00:32:53.43\00:32:57.91
walk with God so
closely that God took him.
00:32:58.11\00:33:02.93
That's the same as
First Thessalonians 4,
00:33:05.89\00:33:07.81
he's talking about, I
said you know, I need to dig
00:33:08.02\00:33:09.88
in this a little bit
deeper I don't know about you,
00:33:10.08\00:33:11.61
but the Book of Hebrews
chapter 12 verse 2 tells
00:33:11.84\00:33:17.09
us that faith. Now,
notice how the faith always
00:33:17.31\00:33:19.46
begins and ends in
Christ Jesus. Faith does what?
00:33:19.67\00:33:24.43
Faith begins; faith
ends in Christ Jesus,
00:33:24.65\00:33:27.59
set that in stone. Do you
know what Enoch pleased God?
00:33:27.83\00:33:32.08
Now Enoch by the way as
you study a little about
00:33:32.29\00:33:35.00
his life it says, he
was the seventh from Adam;
00:33:35.19\00:33:38.25
it's interesting
the seventh from Adam.
00:33:38.49\00:33:41.22
The Bible also says
that he live, now listen this
00:33:41.43\00:33:44.61
careful here what
the study really begins.
00:33:44.82\00:33:46.48
It said, he was 65
years old and he had a son.
00:33:46.70\00:33:50.99
Listen, the son change his life,
00:33:52.95\00:33:56.31
his thinking just as many
of us who have had children
00:33:56.53\00:34:00.74
that we maybe running in
one direction and now a child
00:34:00.95\00:34:03.51
comes on and all of a
sudden our thinking changes
00:34:03.72\00:34:05.54
maybe our attitudes and
our life all change because
00:34:05.75\00:34:09.02
this little package shows up,
00:34:09.23\00:34:11.42
but the Bible says 65
years older and he had a son
00:34:11.68\00:34:15.22
and then the
Bible goes onto say,
00:34:15.51\00:34:17.19
now I will give
you that passage here,
00:34:17.41\00:34:19.28
you will need to write it
down in Genesis chapter 5,
00:34:19.50\00:34:21.82
like I'm going to turn my
Bible, as some of you begin
00:34:22.03\00:34:23.73
to turn yours too. Genesis
chapter 5, 21 and 22 it said
00:34:23.94\00:34:27.66
after he had a son,
now this is important.
00:34:27.87\00:34:29.59
"After he had a son then
he began to walk with God
00:34:29.81\00:34:33.54
for 300 years. " Wow! What
did having a son have to do
00:34:33.74\00:34:41.53
with him beginning
to have a walk with God
00:34:41.77\00:34:44.59
faithfully for 300
years? Hey, you and I have
00:34:44.85\00:34:48.33
a very difficult times
three minutes at a time,
00:34:48.54\00:34:51.14
three days at a time,
you follow my thinking.
00:34:51.35\00:34:55.32
Three hundred years,
how did Enoch's life change?
00:34:55.54\00:35:03.30
And let me just say,
friend we can have the same,
00:35:05.04\00:35:09.34
the same experience that
Enoch had if you want it.
00:35:09.56\00:35:15.03
To me that's just good news.
00:35:15.24\00:35:16.69
Oh! Somebody is not getting it,
00:35:17.91\00:35:19.32
experience; I can
have that same experience
00:35:19.55\00:35:22.66
I can have that
experience today with Jesus
00:35:22.88\00:35:26.55
that if I can walk
so closely with him,
00:35:26.78\00:35:29.07
then you please
God. You know, awesome,
00:35:31.40\00:35:34.16
to me that's awesome.
And so we look and say
00:35:34.38\00:35:39.15
where does this
character begin to change
00:35:39.35\00:35:40.88
after he was 65
years old. The Bible says,
00:35:41.10\00:35:43.12
and I believe this, as
you study a little bit about,
00:35:43.34\00:35:45.40
you realize that
Enoch always did love God.
00:35:45.61\00:35:48.22
He was a good Christian man,
00:35:48.44\00:35:50.49
but when that son was born,
00:35:50.70\00:35:52.65
he began to watch
his son as people do.
00:35:52.86\00:35:56.30
And he began to watch
that son that he had you know,
00:35:58.03\00:36:00.63
as he grew he seem
that love that that baby
00:36:00.83\00:36:03.32
had for him. He watched
his father and he accepted
00:36:03.53\00:36:08.29
in simple trust,
he trusted everything
00:36:08.50\00:36:11.71
that the parents were doing.
00:36:11.92\00:36:13.04
Think about that, he
was secure in his parents,
00:36:13.28\00:36:18.10
in his father. He was
secure in the protection
00:36:18.32\00:36:21.31
of his father, Enoch
began to put it together
00:36:21.53\00:36:25.69
as the father and son,
and his relationship that God
00:36:25.91\00:36:32.54
cared so much for us. This
in simple faith we accepted,
00:36:32.77\00:36:39.38
we have security,
and we have protection
00:36:39.58\00:36:41.89
and that's how God
feels about us, that's how God
00:36:42.10\00:36:45.12
felt about his son?
So I say well this is,
00:36:45.31\00:36:47.97
this is good, he begin to
understand how the heavenly
00:36:48.19\00:36:51.38
Father then loves
each of us, think about it.
00:36:51.59\00:36:54.56
His understanding now
after he became 65 begin to open
00:36:54.77\00:36:59.50
up new avenues that they
had never traveled before.
00:36:59.71\00:37:02.71
This is how God
feels about us, it's how
00:37:02.91\00:37:07.34
I feel about my son
and my son feels about me.
00:37:07.55\00:37:10.59
Oh! I want to
know more about this,
00:37:10.79\00:37:13.41
I want to have that
simple childlike faith,
00:37:13.62\00:37:16.25
have you heard that? Everybody
by the way has probably
00:37:16.49\00:37:23.87
done this at least the fathers.
00:37:24.09\00:37:25.45
You know, your
child's a couple of years old
00:37:25.68\00:37:27.85
you sat him on top of
the car, jump to daddy.
00:37:28.07\00:37:32.42
No, the child
just simply what trust,
00:37:32.67\00:37:37.72
doesn't look around said,
00:37:37.93\00:37:40.63
well I'm not going
to jump to you dad.
00:37:40.85\00:37:42.34
Hey, you are not going
to be able to catch me,
00:37:42.55\00:37:43.84
they just fly all
their arms open just knowing
00:37:44.08\00:37:47.78
for that daddy is
going to catch him.
00:37:48.00\00:37:50.31
Enoch said you know
what, I need to understand
00:37:50.54\00:37:53.53
that kind of a simple
faith, that kind of love,
00:37:53.76\00:38:00.08
I need to understand. So,
he began to spend sometime
00:38:00.29\00:38:02.48
by the way. You
know, what happened?
00:38:02.71\00:38:04.88
Christ became his daily studies.
00:38:05.09\00:38:08.60
Now, remember
preparing to be translated
00:38:08.81\00:38:12.02
and if you want to be translated
00:38:12.24\00:38:13.68
we need to be doing
what? We need to be preparing
00:38:13.89\00:38:16.46
day-by-day studying on
the subject of Jesus Christ
00:38:16.69\00:38:21.61
that we may please him.
00:38:21.82\00:38:25.11
He meditated upon
God day in and day out.
00:38:25.33\00:38:30.05
Let me just shock you
some of you not many of you
00:38:30.25\00:38:32.23
may know this, but
look Enoch had no scripture
00:38:32.44\00:38:38.11
in which to read and
to learn as we do today.
00:38:38.34\00:38:41.43
Remember he was the
what? Seventh from Adam,
00:38:41.65\00:38:45.18
but by faith he began to
be get a acquainted with God.
00:38:45.39\00:38:53.85
It was a reality to him
that he that could hear God,
00:38:54.06\00:38:58.97
that he was drawn
by the spirit of God.
00:38:59.19\00:39:02.10
And you know what he
did? He obeyed everything
00:39:02.32\00:39:05.11
that God revealed to him.
00:39:05.32\00:39:07.43
So, he began just find out what?
00:39:07.64\00:39:09.98
I love him more-and-more
and-more and you know,
00:39:10.20\00:39:13.48
what happened? Here is
what happens to us by the way.
00:39:13.69\00:39:15.83
The more that God
revealed his love to Enoch
00:39:16.04\00:39:19.20
and the more Enoch was
filled with the love of God
00:39:19.42\00:39:21.79
he began to love
other people more-and-more,
00:39:22.01\00:39:26.22
isn't that
beautiful? Think about it.
00:39:26.43\00:39:29.92
It's not just
falling in love with Jesus,
00:39:30.13\00:39:31.65
but he was be what? Being
filled and he begin to love
00:39:31.88\00:39:35.02
other people. Now, how
did Enoch walked with God.
00:39:35.47\00:39:37.46
This is a good question,
how did Enoch walked with God?
00:39:37.71\00:39:39.50
Some people say, well
you know, he most have been
00:39:39.77\00:39:42.37
in some kind of trans
or, he must have been in some
00:39:42.58\00:39:45.29
sleepy state, it
couldn't be the way
00:39:45.49\00:39:47.93
we're thinking
about walking with God.
00:39:48.13\00:39:50.08
No, it wasn't in a trans,
00:39:50.28\00:39:51.38
it wasn't in
some kind of a vision,
00:39:51.61\00:39:52.82
but how Enoch walk with
God was in his daily duties
00:39:53.04\00:39:57.67
of life. Wow! He
walked with God how?
00:39:57.86\00:40:02.30
In his daily duties of
life. What does it mean?
00:40:02.52\00:40:07.31
It means he walked with
God even when he was with
00:40:07.53\00:40:11.55
his family. He walked with God
00:40:11.76\00:40:15.13
as we would say on the job.
00:40:15.37\00:40:17.96
He walked with God
in his relationship
00:40:18.19\00:40:20.89
with other people as
a father, as a husband,
00:40:21.11\00:40:25.83
as a provider, as a
friend, as a citizen
00:40:26.06\00:40:31.58
he was a servant of God.
00:40:31.80\00:40:35.17
And he walked with God and
people saw something in him,
00:40:35.39\00:40:40.58
they saw the
spirit of the living God,
00:40:40.80\00:40:43.39
think about that with
me. Four important points
00:40:43.60\00:40:47.15
I want you to do
remember quickly is there
00:40:47.35\00:40:48.86
time is winding down and
I'm praying the Holy Spirit
00:40:49.06\00:40:51.29
is bringing
conviction on you as bringing
00:40:51.52\00:40:53.57
conviction on me that I
need this closer walk with him.
00:40:53.79\00:40:56.73
More than ever before, I
don't, I don't have much time
00:40:56.95\00:41:00.37
do you have much time
in this world, no you think
00:41:00.59\00:41:02.32
you might, you may
not. Four important things
00:41:02.53\00:41:06.82
that begin to develop as
Enoch spend time with God
00:41:07.03\00:41:12.10
and you know what it
would develop in your life
00:41:12.32\00:41:14.28
and in mine, if we will
spend that quality time.
00:41:14.47\00:41:17.50
I mean how many of us
can just honestly say,
00:41:17.54\00:41:20.54
he is my
meditation day and night.
00:41:20.75\00:41:22.86
I can't think of anything else.
00:41:23.08\00:41:25.73
You know, as a Christian
sometimes it's, it's difficult
00:41:25.95\00:41:30.47
to have friends
who are not Christians.
00:41:30.68\00:41:33.52
Now, I want you to
think it through with me.
00:41:33.75\00:41:35.40
Because you just don't
have anything in common.
00:41:35.62\00:41:38.52
They don't want to
meditate and think about
00:41:38.75\00:41:41.39
Jesus Christ, you
like people to be around
00:41:41.59\00:41:43.36
that you are inspired by,
they are telling you about
00:41:43.60\00:41:47.05
the blessings and
how God loves them,
00:41:47.23\00:41:48.89
I want to be around
people just like that,
00:41:49.12\00:41:52.39
I want to be like
somebody that loves Jesus
00:41:52.63\00:41:54.67
and if I'm around other
folks and it is not trying
00:41:54.90\00:41:57.44
to condemn it, if
it's not trying to judge,
00:41:57.63\00:41:59.01
it's just simply
saying is that I can't seem
00:41:59.29\00:42:01.09
to have the
contact, it's not something
00:42:01.29\00:42:04.14
I want to be
around all the time.
00:42:04.34\00:42:05.66
You know, what
you find yourself,
00:42:08.88\00:42:10.10
you want to be around
the world more you know,
00:42:10.31\00:42:12.72
what your
relationship is with God.
00:42:12.93\00:42:14.51
Here is what happened to Enoch?
00:42:15.64\00:42:16.61
As he spend more time
with God, meditating upon
00:42:16.81\00:42:20.18
the good things of God.
00:42:20.39\00:42:21.47
Faith cometh by
hearing, hearing by the word.
00:42:25.64\00:42:27.30
So, his faith then
begin to rise just really,
00:42:27.52\00:42:31.04
really increase. Because
he begin to talk with him
00:42:31.28\00:42:34.92
as he were a friend. He
began to believe everything
00:42:35.13\00:42:37.91
was impressed and
he begin to walk as God
00:42:38.10\00:42:39.47
would have him
to all day-by-day,
00:42:39.69\00:42:41.21
he didn't dare venture out
of the house without praying.
00:42:41.42\00:42:43.73
He didn't dare make a
decision without talking
00:42:43.94\00:42:46.92
to God first. Oh!
How often we do that?
00:42:47.14\00:42:50.02
And number two, as he
spent this time with God,
00:42:50.26\00:42:54.81
his love for
him became stronger.
00:42:56.51\00:42:58.63
See this is the key, the
more time we spend with Jesus
00:42:58.86\00:43:03.51
the more we can't help,
but be more of if that makes
00:43:03.72\00:43:08.78
sense to you, it
makes sense to me
00:43:08.99\00:43:11.00
the more you
read of this savior.
00:43:11.21\00:43:14.23
Willing to come down
to this miserable world
00:43:14.44\00:43:18.31
and to go through
what he went through what?
00:43:18.54\00:43:21.65
From some
miserable individual like me.
00:43:21.87\00:43:23.90
Wow! What can you
do, but to stand back
00:43:23.93\00:43:28.57
and praise him why
because heaven would never
00:43:28.79\00:43:31.26
be my home without Jesus,
00:43:31.48\00:43:33.25
I can never live the
life by myself. I'm a sinner,
00:43:33.47\00:43:38.08
I'm a failure, but with
him he's changing my heart
00:43:38.29\00:43:42.76
and my life and my, and
my desires, how about you?
00:43:42.97\00:43:45.30
And when I think about
him and meditate about him.
00:43:45.53\00:43:50.16
And I give that
thoughtful moments in some maybe
00:43:50.36\00:43:53.94
an hour on Calvary
I'm just overwhelmed,
00:43:54.15\00:43:57.63
Absolutely overwhelmed, why?
00:43:58.03\00:44:01.08
What a love Enoch recognized
this and he just felt more
00:44:01.30\00:44:05.71
in love with Jesus
and what do this bring on.
00:44:05.93\00:44:09.88
Step number three, he
wanted to spend more time
00:44:10.08\00:44:13.10
on his knees in
prayer, what a relationship?
00:44:13.32\00:44:17.58
And so he began to
talk to him as he went about
00:44:19.31\00:44:22.90
his work on his
daily activities.
00:44:23.10\00:44:24.56
All he did was talk
that's being like praying
00:44:24.77\00:44:27.18
without ceasing.
What an attitude?
00:44:27.39\00:44:31.84
I want that attitude, I
wanna pray without ceasing
00:44:32.06\00:44:35.45
you know, I want to
have God on my lips.
00:44:35.67\00:44:37.18
And you know, what happened?
00:44:39.43\00:44:40.79
Number four, very important
even though Enoch lived
00:44:41.01\00:44:44.30
in this world, listen carefully
00:44:45.23\00:44:47.18
Oh! Even though he
lived in this world,
00:44:47.40\00:44:48.71
he lived in the
atmosphere of heaven.
00:44:48.95\00:44:53.65
Wow! That means
you can too, I can too.
00:44:53.87\00:45:00.06
We are in this
old miserable world.
00:45:00.39\00:45:02.25
Oh! Man I say, you
know, people as a pastor,
00:45:02.46\00:45:05.19
you should say, I'm
going to say stinky,
00:45:05.39\00:45:06.66
pathetic, sinful
world, but you know what
00:45:07.58\00:45:11.70
if I put my hand
in his hand by faith.
00:45:11.91\00:45:13.97
I can live in the atmosphere
of heaven with the mass
00:45:14.19\00:45:17.98
going on down here,
boy we need that don't we,
00:45:18.20\00:45:20.06
would that strengthened
like a peace that passes
00:45:20.29\00:45:22.99
all understanding I believe so,
00:45:23.21\00:45:24.67
do you want that in your life,
00:45:24.89\00:45:26.23
oh! I'm telling you right now.
00:45:26.26\00:45:27.53
I want it in my life
and what did that mean?
00:45:27.57\00:45:31.49
What does that mean living
in the atmosphere of heaven?
00:45:31.70\00:45:34.80
See, this just boasts
people's mind sometime.
00:45:35.00\00:45:37.78
Careful listen Enoch
placed himself, placed himself
00:45:37.99\00:45:46.66
in his family where
he would be less taunted
00:45:46.87\00:45:50.08
by the enemy, did you get that?
00:45:50.29\00:45:52.56
He withdrew from
those places that he knew
00:45:52.78\00:45:55.86
could hurt him or hurt his
family, could get him going
00:45:56.81\00:46:00.54
in the wrong
direction. So, he placed himself
00:46:00.75\00:46:03.77
where becoming the
less contact with the world
00:46:03.99\00:46:07.28
is possible. You want
most Christians are not willing
00:46:07.47\00:46:09.82
to do that you know, what?
Because they love the world
00:46:10.02\00:46:11.87
and things that
are in the world,
00:46:12.07\00:46:13.04
professing to
love Jesus. Jesus said,
00:46:13.25\00:46:15.23
you can't love the world in you,
00:46:15.73\00:46:17.34
if the father's loves
not in you, think about it.
00:46:17.57\00:46:22.08
So, this one of the key
factors to this man pleasing
00:46:22.30\00:46:26.56
God is he withdrew from
the things of this world
00:46:26.79\00:46:30.89
that he could as
far away as possible,
00:46:31.11\00:46:33.04
so he could
maintain his integrity
00:46:33.28\00:46:35.02
and his love for Jesus.
Oh! How I can learn from that
00:46:35.28\00:46:39.45
I don't know about you, I
want you to learn from that.
00:46:39.67\00:46:42.17
And you know, what began
to take place in his life.
00:46:42.38\00:46:45.53
He no longer was
just a bystander.
00:46:45.75\00:46:49.66
Enoch became a
preacher of righteousness.
00:46:49.88\00:46:54.80
Wow! Giving a right
message, how about us today?
00:46:55.01\00:46:59.33
He was telling
everyone that he came in contact
00:46:59.53\00:47:01.93
about Jesus. That how
changed his life, and you know,
00:47:02.16\00:47:07.66
not only talking about
Jesus, but let me tell you
00:47:07.88\00:47:09.97
he gave him a warning,
you have pastor or a teacher
00:47:10.19\00:47:15.34
or a friend today, they
are standing in the pulpit
00:47:15.56\00:47:17.75
and they are not giving a
warning message for today.
00:47:17.95\00:47:20.03
Somebody needs to
get them another job.
00:47:20.24\00:47:22.34
I know somebody say, oh!
Boy, you know, that's just
00:47:26.58\00:47:28.74
too bold, no. If a man's
not doing the job that God
00:47:28.96\00:47:33.90
has called him to
do, go get another job.
00:47:34.11\00:47:35.80
I heard somebody
saying one time and I've said
00:47:37.85\00:47:39.22
this many times, they
say well, we are going to,
00:47:39.42\00:47:41.88
in the boards okay. He
said, we are going have to take
00:47:42.09\00:47:44.50
it the board. And I look
at them and I said you know
00:47:44.73\00:47:47.53
what you need to take
the board to the board,
00:47:47.78\00:47:49.22
somebody is not with
me? You think about this.
00:47:49.44\00:47:54.83
The warning
message should be given;
00:47:57.52\00:48:00.00
Enoch was giving that
warning message, what?
00:48:00.23\00:48:02.92
He felt the power of
the Holy Spirit in him,
00:48:03.15\00:48:05.16
he could not remain
silent, I hope it's the same way
00:48:05.39\00:48:09.11
in your life? I want
it the same way in my life
00:48:09.33\00:48:12.24
and God's servants in the
last day will bear a similar
00:48:12.48\00:48:17.05
message to that of the
Enoch just before Jesus comes,
00:48:17.27\00:48:19.97
I'm convinced of
that, if they're not bearing
00:48:20.17\00:48:21.98
that message, they are
not a messenger from God.
00:48:22.18\00:48:24.73
Hope everybody heard
it, Oh! Yes, truthful, yes.
00:48:24.95\00:48:28.14
There is too much peace
and safety and sweetness
00:48:29.19\00:48:32.31
and tingling of the
ears, but I can say this as you
00:48:32.53\00:48:36.98
study the live I mean the
deeper the world grew in sin.
00:48:37.18\00:48:40.62
The stronger he
became with his message,
00:48:40.84\00:48:44.03
we live now in a
time, think about it.
00:48:45.18\00:48:47.37
A time of the world where
it's almost total darkness,
00:48:47.58\00:48:50.40
apostasy on the
truth of God's word.
00:48:50.62\00:48:53.95
Shouldn't we be
bold as never before.
00:48:54.17\00:48:56.64
He never ceased to warn,
he never ceased to plead,
00:48:56.86\00:49:02.16
he never thought about quitting.
00:49:03.15\00:49:04.86
Let me tell you why?
00:49:05.11\00:49:06.47
For he by faith had
seen the city of God.
00:49:08.63\00:49:12.52
Oh! Friend have you seen
the city of God by faith,
00:49:13.33\00:49:15.96
have you read
about it in scripture,
00:49:16.17\00:49:17.36
I know that you have,
but did you really accept it,
00:49:17.57\00:49:20.67
was it really
tangible, you reach out by faith
00:49:20.88\00:49:22.42
and you touched it
and you really know
00:49:22.65\00:49:23.74
there is a city of God.
Enoch knew there was a city
00:49:24.04\00:49:26.78
of God, he had seen it by faith.
00:49:27.00\00:49:28.49
He had touched it
by faith and he said,
00:49:28.71\00:49:31.27
I can't quit I've
got to keep ongoing.
00:49:31.48\00:49:32.88
He said, I have
seen the king of glory.
00:49:34.88\00:49:37.30
How long has been that you
have seen the king of glory?
00:49:37.53\00:49:41.70
How long has it been
that you spend some real
00:49:41.93\00:49:44.08
quality time with God
that really changed your life,
00:49:44.30\00:49:47.36
but when you see the
king of glory when by faith
00:49:49.61\00:49:52.25
you see all of these things.
00:49:52.48\00:49:53.62
Remember Enoch never seen God,
00:49:53.86\00:49:55.06
he only seen him by
faith, that's how real it was.
00:49:55.29\00:49:58.12
You can have it and
I can have it today.
00:49:59.20\00:50:01.02
I want to see the king
of glory, how about you?
00:50:01.25\00:50:03.34
And he longed for that home.
00:50:04.36\00:50:05.94
Are you longing
for that home the home
00:50:07.12\00:50:09.34
that you have never
seen, I love to sing the song,
00:50:09.57\00:50:13.02
not a good singer at all,
00:50:13.24\00:50:14.27
but I love to sing
this world is not my home?
00:50:14.49\00:50:16.65
Every line of
that just reminds me,
00:50:17.60\00:50:19.84
I'm just, I'm just passing
through, it's not my home,
00:50:20.06\00:50:24.95
it's not your home, by
faith I've seen my home.
00:50:25.16\00:50:27.84
Jesus said, I have
gone to prepared it for you
00:50:28.06\00:50:30.27
and I'm going to come again.
00:50:30.56\00:50:32.69
And I believe there
was a just such a key here
00:50:32.93\00:50:36.51
to all of this
that we put together,
00:50:36.72\00:50:38.15
but remember he
lived on this earth,
00:50:38.37\00:50:40.74
but he dwelled by
and live by faith.
00:50:40.96\00:50:43.82
Same thing with us today
Oh! Friend are you doing that?
00:50:44.04\00:50:47.99
In the realms of reality,
I tell you I need that Jesus
00:50:48.20\00:50:52.46
said in Matthew
chapter 5 verse 8,
00:50:52.68\00:50:54.63
"Blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall see God. "
00:50:54.84\00:50:59.90
Didn't say the defiled.
"Blessed are the pure in heart
00:51:00.11\00:51:02.95
for they shall see God.
" Enoch walked with God,
00:51:03.16\00:51:06.57
he purpose to
everyday that would said,
00:51:06.78\00:51:09.15
I want to know more
about Jesus, day-by-day
00:51:09.37\00:51:12.73
somebody stay with now.
00:51:12.93\00:51:14.13
I said day-by-day
Enoch walked with God.
00:51:14.34\00:51:16.38
Day-by-day for 300
years he walked with God.
00:51:16.63\00:51:19.65
And one day he was
just walking along with God
00:51:19.89\00:51:22.23
I can just picture it he
was just talking with God
00:51:22.45\00:51:24.97
for 300 years God
looked at him and said
00:51:25.19\00:51:27.24
I approve of this
man, I approve of this man.
00:51:27.45\00:51:30.07
He is my friend, and one
day he began to just walk
00:51:30.28\00:51:33.61
and one day he took that
big old long step of faith
00:51:33.85\00:51:36.62
and you know, what
happened. He stepped right,
00:51:36.83\00:51:38.52
he was translated and
went up into the kingdom,
00:51:38.73\00:51:40.70
think about that. What
if he had stopped one step
00:51:40.93\00:51:46.05
short of that walk with
God he would been translated.
00:51:46.26\00:51:49.63
By faith he took that
last step and that last step
00:51:49.84\00:51:54.95
of faith there
friend like bolstered him
00:51:55.17\00:51:57.09
into the kingdom of
God. Oh! God, help us
00:51:57.30\00:51:59.74
that we can see, see
what God's calling us today.
00:51:59.95\00:52:03.16
He is calling by the way
in that communion with him
00:52:03.37\00:52:08.07
just like Enoch. I want
by faith take that step,
00:52:08.28\00:52:11.09
I need you to take that
step, I want to take that step,
00:52:11.30\00:52:16.55
he's calling me to a
holy their lifestyle.
00:52:16.79\00:52:20.62
He is calling me to have
a character change, a holy
00:52:20.84\00:52:26.45
character. He wants me
to be one of the redeemed,
00:52:26.68\00:52:33.03
how about you when he
comes the second time.
00:52:33.24\00:52:35.17
Oh! What an experience
and friend along with each one
00:52:35.42\00:52:40.21
who is listening,
those who are watching,
00:52:40.44\00:52:42.86
I want this to be with
all my heart your testimony
00:52:43.07\00:52:46.42
It's I want to my
testimony, as God looks at you,
00:52:46.64\00:52:53.11
he looks at me. The
bottom line as we walk with him
00:52:53.32\00:52:58.75
day-by-day-by-day, he
is getting ready to come
00:52:58.97\00:53:01.74
by the way in the
cloud of, clouds of glory,
00:53:01.95\00:53:04.21
but I want to say
it that he pleased God,
00:53:04.46\00:53:10.22
can you think of anything else,
00:53:10.44\00:53:13.79
anything else more
important in your life,
00:53:14.03\00:53:17.79
or in my life today
that that we pleased God
00:53:17.99\00:53:20.86
and if there is something
that doesn't pleased God
00:53:21.12\00:53:23.00
ask the Holy Spirit
to reveal it to you,
00:53:23.25\00:53:25.21
so that you give it to
him, would this be a good time
00:53:25.43\00:53:27.77
to give it to him.
So, the at the bottom line
00:53:27.99\00:53:29.67
at the end of the
day we please God,
00:53:29.89\00:53:32.28
if we displease him, we
won't make it to heaven.
00:53:32.50\00:53:35.59
For those of you
who has said, yes. Oh!
00:53:36.72\00:53:38.64
By faith I've seen your
hand raising your heart,
00:53:38.87\00:53:40.71
let's pray about
it quickly right now.
00:53:40.94\00:53:42.65
Shall we, as we kneel
together and ask God's blessing.
00:53:42.85\00:53:45.08
Loving Father in heaven,
I thank you for the hands
00:53:45.30\00:53:48.86
and the hearts that
was raised to decisions
00:53:49.08\00:53:50.61
that were made right now
that we want to pleased you
00:53:50.83\00:53:54.15
and all thing we
trust you, we love you,
00:53:54.35\00:53:56.37
we long for the day
when you shall come,
00:53:56.59\00:53:58.63
help us to be ready
in Jesus name, amen.
00:53:58.85\00:54:01.59
Thank you, for joining us today.
00:54:01.81\00:54:04.01
By the way we look
forward the next time
00:54:04.25\00:54:06.93
we come together,
we're gonna have another
00:54:07.14\00:54:08.89
spirit filled
message, God bless.
00:54:09.10\00:54:10.38
In closing let's look
at a couple more precious,
00:54:12.82\00:54:15.35
precious thoughts
given to us in scripture,
00:54:15.59\00:54:18.16
it's found in First
Timothy and we are gonna
00:54:18.38\00:54:21.32
look at verses 11, and 12.
00:54:21.55\00:54:23.88
First Timothy and
chapter 6 verses 11 and 12.
00:54:24.10\00:54:28.62
It says, "But thou, O man
of God, flee these things;
00:54:28.85\00:54:33.84
and follow after righteousness,
what is righteousness?
00:54:34.06\00:54:38.09
Righteousness is right doing,
00:54:38.31\00:54:40.87
Godliness, faith,
love, patience, meekness.
00:54:41.12\00:54:46.55
Fight the good fight of faith,
00:54:46.58\00:54:48.74
lay hold on the eternal life,
00:54:48.95\00:54:51.29
where unto thou art also
called, and has professed
00:54:51.51\00:54:55.72
a good profession
before many witnesses. "
00:54:55.94\00:54:59.15
Now when you desire these
things, I pray that you do,
00:54:59.38\00:55:02.39
do they just happen
overnight. No, God teaches us,
00:55:02.60\00:55:07.21
it's a walk of sanctification,
00:55:07.42\00:55:09.91
it's a daily learning process,
00:55:10.13\00:55:12.25
he is never gonna
force you to be righteous,
00:55:12.47\00:55:15.51
he is never gonna force
you to love him, to please him,
00:55:15.72\00:55:19.30
to serve with him, to
walk with him on a daily basis.
00:55:19.51\00:55:22.57
You have to make
that this choice,
00:55:22.78\00:55:25.28
you have to make that decision,
00:55:25.49\00:55:27.18
you have to
decide to make your home,
00:55:27.40\00:55:30.93
a home of Christ and
the angels want to dwell.
00:55:31.15\00:55:34.71

that, and we loved to hear

you began to change
00:56:10.03\00:56:12.57
because as I mentioned earlier,
00:56:12.78\00:56:14.56
as we dwell closer to
Jesus, as we make these changes,
00:56:14.79\00:56:19.32
as we leave stations
like 3ABN on everyday
00:56:19.54\00:56:24.33
instead of all
these other things
00:56:24.67\00:56:26.24

there on the airway,
00:56:26.45\00:56:28.24
you watch how God
