[MUSIC]
00:00:01.03\00:00:06.03
>> IT'S BEEN 2,000 YEARS SINCE
THE GLORIOUS LIGHT OF THE CROSS
00:00:09.66\00:00:12.56
ILLUMINATED A WORLD
VEILED IN DARKNESS AND CONFUSION
00:00:12.56\00:00:15.50
ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF GOD.
00:00:15.50\00:00:17.53
AND STILL TODAY THE GREATEST
NEED OF MANKIND IS A REVELATION
00:00:17.53\00:00:20.76
OF GOD'S LOVE AS
REVEALED IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST.
00:00:20.76\00:00:24.16
AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS,
"THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL"
00:00:24.16\00:00:27.10
WITH PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR
COMING TO YOU EACH WEEK FROM
00:00:27.10\00:00:30.20
SACRAMENTO CENTRAL
CHURCH IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA.
00:00:30.20\00:00:33.20
DISCOVER HIDDEN
TREASURES IN GOD'S WORD TODAY.
00:00:33.20\00:00:37.86
>> I WANTED TO SPECIFICALLY
FOCUS OUR ATTENTION TODAY ON
00:00:39.03\00:00:42.93
THE FIRST OF THE PSALMS
BECAUSE IT IS SO UNIQUE AND SO
00:00:42.93\00:00:48.50
REMARKABLE.
00:00:48.50\00:00:49.86
MATTER OF FACT, I BELIEVE
THIS WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT I
00:00:49.86\00:00:54.20
PROVIDED NOTES FOR ALL OF YOU.
00:00:54.20\00:00:57.13
THEY'RE IN YOUR BIBLE.
00:00:57.13\00:00:59.90
YOU'LL FIND IT IN
THE BOOK OF PSALMS.
00:00:59.90\00:01:02.20
IT'S THE FIRST ONE.
00:01:02.20\00:01:04.46
THAT IS THE OUTLINE FOR
OUR STUDY TODAY, AND I WANT YOU
00:01:04.46\00:01:08.76
TO JOIN ME AS WE GO THROUGH THAT
PSALM AND THIS IS GOING TO BE
00:01:08.76\00:01:12.76
SOMETHING OF AN EXPOSITORY
BIBLE STUDY, BUT I HOPE THAT
00:01:12.76\00:01:16.40
YOU'LL GET AS EXCITED AS I DO
WHEN YOU JUST LOOK AT THE POWER
00:01:16.40\00:01:19.13
OF THE WORD OF GOD.
00:01:19.13\00:01:20.70
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT REALLY
EXCITES ME ABOUT PSALM 1, IT IS
00:01:20.70\00:01:24.66
SO CONCISE, IT IS SO SHORT AND
YET IT IS SO FULL OF MEANING.
00:01:24.66\00:01:32.76
IT ENCOMPASSES EVERYTHING,
LISTEN, LISTEN, THE FIRST PSALM
00:01:32.76\00:01:38.56
COVERS EVERYTHING IN
EVERY FOLLOWING PSALM.
00:01:38.56\00:01:44.46
EVERY FOLLOWING PSALM TOUCHES
ON SOMETHING IN THE FIRST
00:01:44.46\00:01:49.33
PSALM.
00:01:49.33\00:01:52.06
IT'S THAT INCREDIBLE.
00:01:52.06\00:01:53.30
IT'S THAT COMPLETE AND
COMPREHENSIVE IN ITS MESSAGE.
00:01:53.30\00:01:56.43
NOW GO BACK THERE.
00:01:56.43\00:01:57.13
I KNOW WE JUST READ IT
IN OUR SCRIPTURE READING,
00:01:57.13\00:01:59.06
BUT I'M GONNA READ
IT TO YOU ONE MORE TIME.
00:01:59.06\00:02:01.83
I'M READING FROM THE
NEW KING JAMES VERSION.
00:02:01.83\00:02:05.73
"BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO
WALKS NOT IN THE COUNSEL OF THE
00:02:05.73\00:02:09.93
UNGODLY NOR STANDS IN THE PATH
OF SINNERS NOR SITS IN THE SEAT
00:02:09.93\00:02:16.40
OF THE SCORNFUL, BUT
HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF
00:02:16.40\00:02:20.73
THE LORD AND IN HIS LAW
HE MEDITATES DAY AND NIGHT.
00:02:20.73\00:02:25.90
HE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED
BY THE RIVERS OF WATER THAT
00:02:25.90\00:02:29.70
BRINGS FORTH ITS FRUIT IN
SEASON WHOSE LEAF ALSO SHALL
00:02:29.70\00:02:33.30
NOT WITHER AND
WHATEVER HE DOES SHALL PROSPER.
00:02:33.30\00:02:38.30
THE UNGODLY ARE NOT
SO BUT ARE LIKE THE CHAFF
00:02:38.30\00:02:41.53
WHICH THE WIND DRIVES AWAY.
00:02:41.53\00:02:43.76
THEREFORE THE UNGODLY WILL
NOT STAND IN THE JUDGMENT NOR
00:02:43.76\00:02:46.90
SINNERS IN THE CONGREGATION
OF THE RIGHTEOUS, FOR THE LORD
00:02:46.90\00:02:50.36
KNOWS THE WAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS
BUT THE WAY OF THE UNGODLY
00:02:50.36\00:02:54.20
WILL PERISH."
00:02:54.20\00:02:55.90
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
00:02:55.90\00:02:57.63
STARTS WITH A BLESSING.
00:02:57.63\00:03:00.93
BLESSED, HAPPY,
ENDS WITH PERISH.
00:03:00.93\00:03:05.26
THERE ARE TWO
DESTINIES, HAPPY OR PERISH.
00:03:05.26\00:03:11.73
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE
GAVE HIS SON THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
00:03:11.73\00:03:15.66
EVERLASTING LIFE AND
BE HAPPY AND NOT PERISH.
00:03:15.66\00:03:21.50
IT BEGINS LIKE THE
SERMON ON THE MOUNT, BLESSED.
00:03:21.50\00:03:24.90
IT BEGINS WITH
WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS.
00:03:24.90\00:03:27.86
THE WORD "BLESSED,"
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:03:27.86\00:03:29.56
HAPPY.
00:03:29.56\00:03:31.06
WHEN JESUS SAID,
"BLESSED ARE THE MEEK IN HEART,
00:03:31.06\00:03:34.70
BLESSED ARE THE
PEACEMAKERS, BLESSED ARE
00:03:34.70\00:03:36.60
THOSE WHO ARE
PERSECUTED" HE'S SAYING, HAPPY,
00:03:36.60\00:03:38.80
HAPPY, HAPPY.
00:03:38.80\00:03:39.66
AND THIS PSALM REALLY BEGINS
WITH WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS.
00:03:39.66\00:03:45.16
ANYBODY HERE NOT
WANT TO BE HAPPY?
00:03:45.16\00:03:48.00
YOU NEED TO SCHEDULE AN
APPOINTMENT WITH A CHRISTIAN
00:03:48.00\00:03:51.13
PSYCHIATRIST
BECAUSE SOMETHING'S WRONG IF
00:03:51.13\00:03:55.40
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HAPPY.
00:03:55.40\00:03:57.53
I MEAN, THAT'S THE NATURE
DESIRE THAT GOD OUR LORD HAS PUT
00:03:57.53\00:04:00.86
INTO EVERYBODY'S HEART IS
THIS DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS.
00:04:00.86\00:04:05.00
THE FIRST PSALM IS REALLY
CALLED THE PSALM OF PSALMS.
00:04:05.00\00:04:09.33
IN THE SAME WAY THAT
THE BOOK OF CANTICLES
00:04:09.33\00:04:13.66
OR THE SONG OF SOLOMON'S
CALLED THE SONG OF SONGS.
00:04:13.66\00:04:16.60
OF ALL THE PSALMS,
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL.
00:04:16.60\00:04:20.93
THAT'S PROBABLY PART OF THE
REASON IT'S AT THE BEGINNING
00:04:20.93\00:04:22.73
OF THE LIST.
00:04:22.73\00:04:23.50
IT WAS NOT NECESSARILY THE
FIRST PSALM THAT DAVID WROTE,
00:04:23.50\00:04:27.16
BUT IT IS SO COMPLETE AND
SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO PROFOUND,
00:04:27.16\00:04:31.76
IT'S PLACED AS SORT OF
THE INTRODUCTION FOR EVERY
00:04:31.76\00:04:34.60
OTHER PSALM.
00:04:34.60\00:04:36.53
THE PSALM OF PSALMS, IT BEGINS
BY ADDRESSING WHAT EVERYBODY
00:04:36.53\00:04:41.50
IS LOOKING FOR, HAPPINESS.
00:04:41.50\00:04:45.86
HAPPY, BLESSED IS THE MAN.
00:04:45.86\00:04:48.36
THAT'S WHAT THE MESSAGE IS.
00:04:48.36\00:04:50.30
AND BY THE WAY, WHEN IT TALKS
ABOUT BLESSED IS THE MAN, IT'S
00:04:50.30\00:04:53.43
USING THE WORD "MAN" IN THE
WAY THAT MOSES USED IT, MALE
00:04:53.43\00:04:56.70
AND FEMALE MADE HE THEM.
00:04:56.70\00:04:59.60
WHEN IT SAYS GOD MADE MAN
IN HIS OWN LIKENESS, THAT'S
00:04:59.60\00:05:02.96
INCLUDING MALE AND FEMALE.
00:05:02.96\00:05:05.00
SO I'M NOT READING FROM ONE
OF THESE POLITICALLY CORRECT
00:05:05.00\00:05:08.33
REWRITTEN BIBLES, AND I FIGURE
THAT YOU'RE ALL SMART ENOUGH
00:05:08.33\00:05:11.60
TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
00:05:11.60\00:05:13.43
IT'S TALKING ABOUT
HAPPINESS FOR EVERYBODY HERE.
00:05:13.43\00:05:15.50
GOD'S GOSPEL AND HIS SALVATION
IS NOT GENDER EXCLUSIVE, AMEN?
00:05:15.50\00:05:23.93
HAPPINESS IS A GIFT
THAT HE WANTS US ALL TO HAVE.
00:05:23.93\00:05:27.50
JESUS CAME REALLY TO
BRING US THE GIFT OF HAPPINESS,
00:05:27.50\00:05:31.13
AND IT COMES FROM
WHAT ROAD YOU WALK IN.
00:05:31.13\00:05:35.83
AT THE VERY BEGINNING
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE'S SOME
00:05:35.83\00:05:39.16
CONTRASTS THAT ARE MADE.
00:05:39.16\00:05:40.83
IN THE BEGINNING WHEN
ITS SAYS, "HAPPY IS THE MAN,"
00:05:40.83\00:05:44.13
IT REALLY TRANSLATES "OH,
THE BLESSEDNESS OF THE MAN."
00:05:44.13\00:05:49.80
IT'S CALLING IT FROM JUST IT'S
KIND OF A VOLCANIC PERSPECTIVE.
00:05:49.80\00:05:58.03
HAPPINESS DOESN'T COME
FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF THINGS
00:05:58.03\00:05:59.90
SOMEONE POSSESSES.
00:05:59.90\00:06:02.56
ACTUALLY PUTTING GOD FIRST
AND BEING ON THE RIGHT ROAD IS
00:06:02.56\00:06:05.03
WHAT LEADS TO ALL PROSPERITY.
00:06:05.03\00:06:08.10
ANDREW CARNEGIE SAID
MILLIONAIRES WHO LAUGH ARE
00:06:08.10\00:06:11.70
RARE.
00:06:11.70\00:06:13.50
PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO FIND
HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD WITHOUT
00:06:13.50\00:06:15.83
GOD, IT'S LIKE SOMEONE LOST IN
THE DESERT WHO SEES A MIRAGE OF
00:06:15.83\00:06:19.70
AN OASIS AND IT'S ALWAYS
JUST OUTSIDE OF THEIR REACH,
00:06:19.70\00:06:23.23
THEY NEVER GET THERE.
00:06:23.23\00:06:24.73
THE HAPPINESS THAT THE
WORLD OFFERS IS A MIRAGE.
00:06:24.73\00:06:29.56
PROVERBS 16:20, "HE WHO HEEDS
THE WORD WISELY WILL FIND GOOD
00:06:29.56\00:06:36.43
AND WHOEVER TRUSTS IN
THE LORD, HAPPY IS HE."
00:06:36.43\00:06:40.93
REAL HAPPINESS COMES FROM GOD
AND IT'S CLEAR AT THE BEGINNING
00:06:40.93\00:06:43.33
OF THIS PSALM, BUT IT
STATES IT IN THREE NEGATIVES
00:06:43.33\00:06:47.46
AT THE BEGINNING.
00:06:47.46\00:06:49.46
IT SAYS, "BLESSED IS
THE MAN WHO DOES NOT DO THIS
00:06:49.46\00:06:53.80
NOR THIS NOR THIS."
00:06:53.80\00:06:57.06
IT'S WARNING US THAT THIS IS
NOT WHERE HAPPINESS COMES FROM.
00:06:57.06\00:07:00.26
WHY DOES IT START THAT WAY?
00:07:00.26\00:07:02.70
BECAUSE YOU AND I ARE NATURALLY
PRONE TOWARDS GOING THE WRONG
00:07:02.70\00:07:06.53
WAY LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS.
00:07:06.53\00:07:09.60
YOU KNOW IN THE LORD'S PRAYER,
WHEN YOU PRAY "LEAD US NOT INTO
00:07:09.60\00:07:13.80
TEMPTATION," WHY WOULD
YOU SAY, "LORD, DON'T LEAD US
00:07:13.80\00:07:16.23
INTO TEMPTATION?"
00:07:16.23\00:07:17.26
IS GOD OUT THERE WANTING
TO LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION AND
00:07:17.26\00:07:20.36
WE'RE BEGGING HIM "LORD, PLEASE
DON'T LEAD ME INTO TEMPTATION?"
00:07:20.36\00:07:23.96
WHY IS IT STATED LIKE THAT?
00:07:23.96\00:07:26.50
IT ACTUALLY TRANSLATES
"LEAD US AWAY FROM OUR NATURAL
00:07:26.50\00:07:30.66
TENDENCY TOWARDS TEMPTATION."
00:07:30.66\00:07:34.26
AND SO THIS PSALM
BEGINS BY INTERRUPTING OUR LOST
00:07:34.26\00:07:38.43
PROPENSITIES AND
SAYING, BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT
00:07:38.43\00:07:41.46
DOESN'T DO WHAT THEY'RE
NATURALLY INCLINED TO DO.
00:07:41.46\00:07:45.53
SEE, IN OUR FALLEN NATURE, WE
WANT TO WALK IN THE WRONG PATH
00:07:45.53\00:07:49.73
AND STAND IN THE WRONG PLACE
AND SIT IN THE WRONG SEAT, AND
00:07:49.73\00:07:53.86
THAT PROBABLY IS A GOOD PLACE
TO GET TO THAT NEXT SUBJECT,
00:07:53.86\00:07:57.80
PLACE WHERE THERE'S NO WALKING,
STANDING OR SITTING IF YOU'RE
00:07:57.80\00:08:01.56
A BELIEVER.
00:08:01.56\00:08:03.36
YOU NOTICE THAT?
00:08:03.36\00:08:04.30
IT SAYS, "BLESSED IS THE
MAN WHO WALKS NOT IN THE COUNSEL
00:08:04.30\00:08:08.60
OF THE UNGODLY."
00:08:08.60\00:08:10.70
THERE'S A PLACE WHERE WE
CAN GET THE WRONG COUNSEL.
00:08:10.70\00:08:13.93
AND SIN IS PROGRESSIVE,
IT STARTS WITH LISTENING
00:08:13.93\00:08:16.46
TO THE WRONG COUNSEL.
00:08:16.46\00:08:17.63
SALVATION BEGINS WITH
LISTENING TO THE RIGHT COUNSEL.
00:08:17.63\00:08:21.73
PEOPLE WHO MAYBE KNOW
THE LORD OFTEN DRIFT OUT.
00:08:21.73\00:08:26.23
A PERSON RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN
HOME, MIGHT EVER BE HOME
00:08:26.23\00:08:28.76
SCHOOLED AND THEN THEY GO OFF
TO A SECULAR COLLEGE AND THEY
00:08:28.76\00:08:32.10
WERE DOING FINE UNTIL THEY
STARTED GETTING SOME OF THE
00:08:32.10\00:08:34.30
WRONG COUNSEL AND EVERYTHING
JUST UNRAVELS AFTER THAT.
00:08:34.30\00:08:39.56
I BELIEVE ONE OF THE GREATEST--
YOU HEARD ME SAY THIS BEFORE.
00:08:39.56\00:08:45.90
SOME OF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD
IT, SO I'M GONNA SAY IT AGAIN.
00:08:45.90\00:08:48.70
ONE OF THE GREATEST THREATS
TO HOLINESS IN THE CHURCH IS
00:08:48.70\00:08:53.16
THE TYPICAL
TELEVISION THAT PEOPLE WATCH.
00:08:53.16\00:08:57.10
LITTLE BY LITTLE EVEN THOUGH
IT'S SUBTLE, EVEN THOUGH YOU
00:08:57.10\00:08:58.96
THINK YOU'VE GOTTA FILTER
IN YOUR MIND, YOU'RE FOOLING
00:08:58.96\00:09:01.70
YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T THINK
YOU AREN'T BEING CONTAMINATED BY
00:09:01.70\00:09:04.43
THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY.
00:09:04.43\00:09:06.90
IT'S IN THE COMMERCIALS,
IT'S IN THE PROGRAMS,
00:09:06.90\00:09:08.93
YOU CATCH IT WHEN YOU'RE
FLIPPING BETWEEN GOOD CHANNELS,
00:09:08.93\00:09:11.60
IF THERE IS SUCH A THING.
00:09:11.60\00:09:14.03
AND LITTLE BY LITTLE YOU'RE
BEING CORRUPTED BY EVIL COUNSEL.
00:09:14.03\00:09:19.16
YOU'RE HEARING THESE THINGS.
00:09:19.16\00:09:20.56
THERE'S A BLESSING ON THE
MAN THAT DOESN'T WALK IN THAT
00:09:20.56\00:09:22.66
COUNSEL.
00:09:22.66\00:09:24.10
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ON
THE ROAD WHERE THAT HAPPENS.
00:09:24.10\00:09:28.93
IT SAYS YOU WALK NOT IN
THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY NOR
00:09:28.93\00:09:31.40
STAND IN THE PATH OF SINNERS.
00:09:31.40\00:09:34.46
YOU DON'T LINGER WHERE
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IT.
00:09:34.46\00:09:37.56
YOU DON'T HANG AROUND THAT
PATH NOR SIT IN THE SEAT OF
00:09:37.56\00:09:41.13
THE SCORNFUL.
00:09:41.13\00:09:41.96
WHEN I GO TO THE SUPERMARKET,
THERE IS A SECTION THAT IS
00:09:41.96\00:09:46.03
DEDICATED TO ALCOHOL.
00:09:46.03\00:09:48.80
THERE'S A ROW FOR ALCOHOL,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH
00:09:48.80\00:09:53.76
ME BUT I STILL DON'T REMEMBER
WHERE ANYTHING IS IN THE MARKET
00:09:53.76\00:09:57.16
EVEN AFTER YEARS OF
GOING TO THE SAME MARKET.
00:09:57.16\00:10:01.26
BUT THERE'S ONE
ROW, I KNOW WHERE IT IS
00:10:01.26\00:10:04.40
AND I DON'T GO DOWN THAT ROW.
00:10:04.40\00:10:07.76
IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M AFRAID
I'M GONNA GET TEMPTED, IT'S NOT
00:10:07.76\00:10:11.23
THAT I'M BEYOND THAT BUT
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE SEEN
00:10:11.23\00:10:15.10
GOING DOWN THAT ROW.
00:10:15.10\00:10:16.63
I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO GO
DOWN THAT ROW, AND IF I NEED TO
00:10:16.63\00:10:18.93
GET FROM ONE END OF THE STORE
TO THE OTHER END OF THE STORE
00:10:18.93\00:10:21.20
AND THAT IS THE SHORTEST
DISTANCE THROUGH THE ROW OF
00:10:21.20\00:10:24.63
WINE AND ALCOHOL, I'LL GO
TO THE NEXT ROW AND CROSS OVER.
00:10:24.63\00:10:30.00
AND MAYBE YOU JUST THINK
I'M A FANATIC, BUT I KNOW IN THE
00:10:30.00\00:10:33.00
BIBLE IT SAYS DON'T EVEN GO
IN THE ROAD WHERE THE WICKED GO
00:10:33.00\00:10:38.86
AND SO I DON'T
GO DOWN THAT AISLE.
00:10:38.86\00:10:40.93
I KNOW THEY'RE VIDEO TAPING
TOO UP THERE EVERYWHERE YOU WALK
00:10:40.93\00:10:43.93
IN THAT STORE.
00:10:43.93\00:10:44.76
I DON'T EVEN
WANT TO GO DOWN THERE.
00:10:44.76\00:10:48.50
OR SITS IN THE
SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL.
00:10:48.50\00:10:52.43
THIS IS A
PROGRESSION THAT HAPPENS.
00:10:52.43\00:10:55.96
YOU KNOW IN 2 PETER 3:3
IT STARTS OUT, YOU KNOW,
00:10:55.96\00:11:01.30
WITH THE MAN WHO
WALKS IN THE WRONG PLACE.
00:11:01.30\00:11:05.50
AND AFTER WALKING IN THE WRONG
PLACE, YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF
00:11:05.50\00:11:07.43
STANDING IN THE WRONG PLACE AND
ULTIMATELY YOU PARK AND PLANT
00:11:07.43\00:11:10.53
YOURSELF, YOU SIT DOWN AND
GET COMFORTABLE IN THE SEAT OF
00:11:10.53\00:11:13.63
THE SCORNFUL.
00:11:13.63\00:11:15.16
LISTEN TO WHAT PETER SAYS ABOUT
THAT, 2 PETER 3:3, "KNOWING THIS
00:11:15.16\00:11:18.46
FIRST THAT SCOFFERS WILL
COME IN THE LAST DAYS WALKING
00:11:18.46\00:11:22.16
ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN LUSTS
SAYING, 'WHERE IS THE PROMISE
00:11:22.16\00:11:25.16
OF HIS COMING?'"
PEOPLE WHO DENY GOD AND DENY
00:11:25.16\00:11:27.83
THE RETURN OF CHRIST--AND YOU
KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THOSE FOLKS
00:11:27.83\00:11:31.63
WILL ARISE FROM AMONG US.
00:11:31.63\00:11:34.80
THEY STARTED OUT
WALKING WITH US AND THEY END UP.
00:11:34.80\00:11:38.33
THEY GOT THEIR DOCTORATES
IN DOUBT AND THEY ARE TRYING
00:11:38.33\00:11:42.43
TO RECRUIT OTHER PEOPLE.
00:11:42.43\00:11:43.73
THEY'RE
SCORNING WHAT WE BELIEVE.
00:11:43.73\00:11:46.76
YOU KNOW WHERE THE GREATEST
ADVERSARIES OF THE TRUTH
00:11:46.76\00:11:48.63
ARE GOING TO COME
FROM IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:11:48.63\00:11:51.63
AND FROM YOUR OWN SELVES SHALL
ARISE TEACHERS TEACHING HERESY,
00:11:51.63\00:11:57.03
DOCTRINES OF DEVILS.
00:11:57.03\00:11:58.50
THE BRIGHTEST LIGHTS AMONG
US WILL GO OUT AND TURN INTO OUR
00:11:58.50\00:12:00.86
WORST ADVERSARIES.
00:12:00.86\00:12:02.83
WHO WAS IT THAT BETRAYED JESUS?
00:12:02.83\00:12:04.86
ONE OF THE 12 APOSTLES,
NOT JUST ANY OLD DISCIPLE,
00:12:04.86\00:12:08.43
AN APOSTLE STARTED OUT WALKING
WITH THE LORD BECAUSE HE WAS
00:12:08.43\00:12:14.56
LINGERING ON THE OUTSKIRTS,
HE ENDS UP BEING A SCORNER
00:12:14.56\00:12:16.63
AND SELF-DESTRUCTS.
00:12:16.63\00:12:19.46
PETER KNEW WHAT
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
00:12:19.46\00:12:21.80
PETER IS EXHIBIT A OF SOMEBODY
WHO LEARNED THE HARD WAY WHAT
00:12:21.80\00:12:24.23
HAPPENS.
00:12:24.23\00:12:25.56
LOOK AT THE DENIAL
THAT PETER MADE OF JESUS.
00:12:25.56\00:12:30.06
HOW DID THAT BEGIN?
00:12:30.06\00:12:31.60
JOHN 18:16, "BUT PETER STOOD
AT THE DOOR OPPOSITE THE OTHER
00:12:31.60\00:12:38.76
DISCIPLE WHO WAS KNOWN TO
THE HIGH PRIEST AND HE WENT OUT
00:12:38.76\00:12:41.43
AND SPOKE TO HER WHO KEPT
THE DOOR AND BROUGHT PETER IN."
00:12:41.43\00:12:44.20
HE THEN FOR A WHILE HE WAS
STANDING THERE KIND OF ON THE
00:12:44.20\00:12:48.80
OUTSIDE OF THE PLACE WHERE THE
ENEMIES OF CHRIST WERE GATHERED
00:12:48.80\00:12:52.56
FIRST WALKING, THEN STANDING.
00:12:52.56\00:12:55.53
AND THEN YOU READ IN
MATTHEW 26:58, "AND THEN PETER
00:12:55.53\00:12:59.33
WENT IN AND HE SAT DOWN WITH
THE SERVANTS TO SEE THE END."
00:12:59.33\00:13:03.50
HE SAT DOWN AND BEGIN TO MINGLE
AMONG THEM AND HE TRIED TO
00:13:03.50\00:13:07.13
SOUND LIKE THEM.
00:13:07.13\00:13:09.26
AND FINALLY WHEN THEY ASKED
PETER, "AREN'T YOU ONE OF HIS
00:13:09.26\00:13:11.33
FOLLOWERS?"
00:13:11.33\00:13:14.56
HE BEGINS TO TALK LIKE
THE SCOFFERS AND THE SCORNERS
00:13:14.56\00:13:19.10
AND HE SAYS, "I DON'T
KNOW THE MAN OF WHO YOU SPEAK."
00:13:19.10\00:13:23.33
THIRD TIME WITH SWEARING
AND CURSING HE PUNCTUATES
00:13:23.33\00:13:25.96
HIS DENIAL.
00:13:25.96\00:13:27.56
DID IT HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY OR
WAS IT A SEQUENCE OF FIRST HE
00:13:27.56\00:13:32.96
WALKED KIND OF AT A
DISTANCE, TRIED TO LOOK LIKE
00:13:32.96\00:13:35.43
EVERYBODY ELSE, THEN
HE STOOD AND THEN HE SAT?
00:13:35.43\00:13:40.26
YOU KNOW, TURNING OUR BACKS
ON THE LORD, IT'S A SEQUENCE
00:13:40.26\00:13:43.63
OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN.
00:13:43.63\00:13:47.30
DO YOU THINK THAT ALL HAPPENED
TO PETER THAT NIGHT OR DID IT
00:13:47.30\00:13:50.93
HAPPEN ALONG THE WAY AS
PETER WAS TRUSTED IN HIMSELF?
00:13:50.93\00:13:54.83
THOUGH ALL MEN FORSAKE
YOU, I'LL NOT FORSAKE YOU.
00:13:54.83\00:13:57.26
HE WAS ON THE WRONG ROAD RIGHT
THEN WHEN HE SAID THAT, HIS
00:13:57.26\00:14:00.86
FAITH WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE.
00:14:00.86\00:14:03.13
SEE, IT STARTS OUT WALKING
IN THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY,
00:14:03.13\00:14:09.13
STANDING IN THE PATH OF SINNERS
AND THEN SITTING IN THE SEAT OF
00:14:09.13\00:14:13.83
THE SCORNFUL.
00:14:13.83\00:14:15.06
NOW CONTRASTED WITH THE
ONE WHO DENIES THE LORD,
00:14:15.06\00:14:19.50
WHO IS THE UNHAPPY MAN IS
THE ONE WHO IS THE HAPPY MAN.
00:14:19.50\00:14:23.83
I'M IN VERSE 2 NOW.
00:14:23.83\00:14:26.26
"BUT HIS DELIGHT," SPEAKING
OF THE MAN WHO DELIGHTS IN THE
00:14:26.26\00:14:29.56
LAW, HE'S YOUR HAPPY MAN,
"HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW
00:14:29.56\00:14:34.36
OF THE LORD."
00:14:34.36\00:14:35.90
NOW, WHO HERE THINKS ABOUT
I TELL YOU WHAT, WE'RE GONNA
00:14:35.90\00:14:38.63
PARTY AND WE'RE ALL
GONNA BE REALLY HAPPY.
00:14:38.63\00:14:40.26
WE'RE GONNA TALK
ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD.
00:14:40.26\00:14:43.03
ISN'T THE LAW OF
GOD A BUNCH OF DON'Ts?
00:14:43.03\00:14:46.06
WELL, IN THE BIBLE TIMES
THE LAW OF GOD WAS NOT JUST
00:14:46.06\00:14:48.43
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:48.43\00:14:50.03
MATTER OF FACT WHEN KING DAVID
WROTE THIS PSALM, HOW MUCH OF
00:14:50.03\00:14:54.33
THE LAW WAS WRITTEN?
00:14:54.33\00:14:56.20
HOW MUCH OF THE
BIBLE DID THEY HAVE?
00:14:56.20\00:14:59.00
WELL, THEY HAD THE
FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES,
00:14:59.00\00:15:01.33
THAT WAS CALLED THE LAW.
00:15:01.33\00:15:02.16
THEY HAD JOSHUA, THEY
HAD JUDGES, THEY HAD RUTH,
00:15:02.16\00:15:06.33
1 SAMUEL, PROBABLY MOST OF
2 SAMUEL WHEN HE WROTE THIS,
00:15:06.33\00:15:12.96
BUT THAT WAS ENOUGH
FOR HIM TO DELIGHT IN.
00:15:12.96\00:15:15.43
IT'S TALKING ABOUT
DELIGHTING IN THE WORD OF GOD.
00:15:15.43\00:15:17.83
IS THE WORD OF GOD YOUR DELIGHT?
00:15:17.83\00:15:20.56
IF YOU'RE DELIGHTING IN
THE WORD OF GOD, IF YOU'RE
00:15:20.56\00:15:22.63
MEDITATING ON THE WORD OF
GOD, YOU WILL NOT BE WALKING
00:15:22.63\00:15:25.63
IN THE WRONG PATH.
00:15:25.63\00:15:27.33
IF YOU'RE NOT DELIGHTING IN THE
WORD OF GOD, YOU'RE DELIGHTING
00:15:27.33\00:15:30.16
IN SOMETHING ELSE AND
YOU'RE GONNA BE DRIFTING INTO
00:15:30.16\00:15:34.16
THE WRONG PATH.
00:15:34.16\00:15:35.76
DID DAVID DELIGHT
IN THE WORD OF GOD?
00:15:35.76\00:15:39.13
MATTER OF FACT, I HOPE I DIDN'T
GIVE YOU THE WRONG IMPRESSION.
00:15:39.13\00:15:42.76
YOU SHOULD DELIGHT
IN THE LAW OF GOD, YES,
00:15:42.76\00:15:45.46
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:15:45.46\00:15:47.06
DELIGHT IN IT.
00:15:47.06\00:15:48.73
WHY?
00:15:48.73\00:15:49.83
'CAUSE IT'S LIFE.
00:15:49.83\00:15:51.53
MOSES, WHEN HE GAVE THE LAW TO
THE PEOPLE, HE SAID, "YOU KNOW,
00:15:51.53\00:15:54.50
I'M SENDING BEFORE YOU LIFE
AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING,
00:15:54.50\00:15:58.73
GOOD AND EVIL, CHOOSE LIFE.
00:15:58.73\00:16:01.63
THE BIBLE TELLS US
OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
00:16:01.63\00:16:03.43
THIS IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE.
00:16:03.43\00:16:04.90
PSALMS 37:4, "DELIGHT
YOURSELF ALSO IN THE LORD AND HE
00:16:04.90\00:16:09.50
WILL GIVE YOU THE
DESIRES OF YOUR HEART."
00:16:09.50\00:16:12.10
YOU DELIGHT YOURSELF IN GOD
AND HE'LL BLESS YOU WITH WHAT
00:16:12.10\00:16:15.50
WILL BRING YOU REAL HAPPINESS.
00:16:15.50\00:16:17.36
BY THE WAY, WHAT IS DELIGHT?
00:16:17.36\00:16:19.93
SOMETHING THAT GIVES
GREAT PLEASURE AND ENJOYMENT.
00:16:19.93\00:16:22.96
WHEN YOU THINK OF THE LAW OF
GOD AND YOU THINK OF THE WORD
00:16:22.96\00:16:25.60
OF GOD, YOU THINK OF SOMETHING
THAT'S SORT OF A NECESSARY EVIL
00:16:25.60\00:16:28.16
LIKE TASTING--TAKING A
MEDICINE THAT'S JUST IS BITTER.
00:16:28.16\00:16:32.20
YOU GOTTA DO
IT, BUT IT'S BITTER.
00:16:32.20\00:16:34.70
OR DO YOU THINK ABOUT
IT LIKE A HOT FUDGE SUNDAE?
00:16:34.70\00:16:39.16
THAT'S NO GOOD FOR YOU ANYWAY.
00:16:39.16\00:16:41.46
I SHOULD FIND A
DIFFERENT ILLUSTRATION.
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.86
HONEY, THE BIBLE SAYS EAT A
LITTLE HONEY, FOR IT IS GOOD.
00:16:44.86\00:16:47.23
THINK OF SOMETHING SWEET,
SOMETHING THAT'S DELIGHTFUL.
00:16:47.23\00:16:51.06
THINK OF WHATEVER JUST
DELIGHTS YOUR HEART THAT'S GOOD.
00:16:51.06\00:16:53.86
THAT'S THE FEELING YOU SHOULD
HAVE ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD.
00:16:53.86\00:16:56.96
OR YOU LOOK UPON IT AS--
YOU KNOW, IT'S SORT OF A LEGAL
00:16:56.96\00:17:01.73
DOCUMENT THAT YOU NEED TO
SIGN IF YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE.
00:17:01.73\00:17:05.06
YOU GOTTA READ IT.
00:17:05.06\00:17:05.70
IT'S A LOT OF FINE PRINT.
00:17:05.70\00:17:07.10
IT'S SORT OF A NUISANCE
BUT YOU GOTTA GO THROUGH IT.
00:17:07.10\00:17:10.36
THE WORD OF GOD
SHOULD BE DELIGHTFUL FOR YOU.
00:17:10.36\00:17:13.13
WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT IT
BRINGS YOU LIFE, IT'S THE KEY
00:17:13.13\00:17:16.13
TO LIFE AND HAPPINESS.
00:17:16.13\00:17:18.86
PSALMS 119:48, "MY HANDS I WILL
LIFT UP TO YOUR COMMANDMENTS
00:17:18.86\00:17:24.73
WHICH I LOVE.
00:17:24.73\00:17:25.86
I WILL MEDITATE
ON YOUR STATUTES."
00:17:25.86\00:17:27.80
THAT'S WRITTEN BY DAVID.
00:17:27.80\00:17:29.00
"LIFTING UP HIS HANDS FOR
THE COMMANDMENTS WHICH I LOVE
00:17:29.00\00:17:32.26
AND TO MEDITATE
ON HIS STATUTES."
00:17:32.26\00:17:35.16
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE
STORY IN THE BIBLE WHEN DAVID
00:17:35.16\00:17:37.23
FINALLY BROUGHT THE ARK OF GOD?
00:17:37.23\00:17:40.33
WHAT'S IN THE ARK OF GOD?
00:17:40.33\00:17:42.06
TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:17:42.06\00:17:43.23
HE BRINGS THE ARK OF GOD INTO
JERUSALEM IN PREPARATION FOR
00:17:43.23\00:17:48.46
ITS ULTIMATE HOME IN THE
TEMPLE, AND HE WAS SO THANKFUL
00:17:48.46\00:17:53.03
TO HAVE THE LAW OF GOD IN
HIS HOMETOWN WHERE IT HAD BEEN
00:17:53.03\00:17:57.23
EITHER IN THE TABERNACLE
OR IT WAS CAPTURED ONCE BY THE
00:17:57.23\00:18:00.43
PHILISTINES OR IN ANOTHER TOWN.
00:18:00.43\00:18:02.53
HE WANTED IT THERE
IN JERUSALEM WITH HIM.
00:18:02.53\00:18:05.30
IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU
KNOW WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A COPY
00:18:05.30\00:18:07.86
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
WOULD THAT BE A DELIGHT FOR YOU?
00:18:07.86\00:18:14.56
FOR SOME REASON, DAVID
DELIGHTED IN THE LAW OF GOD.
00:18:14.56\00:18:18.56
AND FINALLY WHEN THEY DID BRING
IT UP, YOU KNOW AT ONE TIME,
00:18:18.56\00:18:20.90
THEY BROUGHT IT UP THE WRONG
WAY AND UZZAH--THEY WEREN'T
00:18:20.90\00:18:24.76
SUPPOSED TO CARRY IT ON
AN OXCART AND UZZAH TOUCHED
00:18:24.76\00:18:27.16
THE ARK AND HE DIED BECAUSE
THAT WAS FORBIDDEN AND DAVID
00:18:27.16\00:18:30.20
WAS DEPRESSED.
00:18:30.20\00:18:31.33
AND FINALLY HE READ THE BIBLE
AND REALIZED WHAT THEY HAD DONE
00:18:31.33\00:18:33.73
WRONG.
00:18:33.73\00:18:34.56
MOSES HAD INSTRUCTED IT WAS
TO BE CARRIED ON THE SHOULDERS
00:18:34.56\00:18:36.90
OF THE PRIESTS.
00:18:36.90\00:18:37.70
HE GOT IT RIGHT AND THEN
THEY BROUGHT IT THE REMAINDER
00:18:37.70\00:18:40.00
OF THE WAY.
00:18:40.00\00:18:40.86
AND WHEN THEY DID THAT AND HE
KNEW HE WAS DOING WHAT GOD TOLD
00:18:40.86\00:18:44.36
HIM TO DO, IN THE PATH FROM THE
HOUSE OF OBED-EDOM WHERE THEY
00:18:44.36\00:18:49.00
BROUGHT THE ARK TO JERUSALEM,
THEY WERE WALKING IN THE WAY
00:18:49.00\00:18:52.26
OF THE LORD.
00:18:52.26\00:18:53.63
DAVID KNEW "WE'RE
DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY NOW."
00:18:53.63\00:18:55.56
HE HAD PEACE, HE WAS HAPPY,
HE WAS EXUBERANT, HE WAS JOYFUL.
00:18:55.56\00:18:59.50
LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS HERE.
00:18:59.50\00:19:01.70
2 SAMUEL 6:14-15, "AND DAVID
DANCED BEFORE THE LORD WITH
00:19:01.70\00:19:07.03
ALL OF HIS MIGHT.
00:19:07.03\00:19:08.90
AND DAVID WAS WEARING A
LINEN EPHOD, SO DAVID AND ALL
00:19:08.90\00:19:11.53
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL BROUGHT
THE ARK, TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:19:11.53\00:19:15.46
OF THE LORD UP WITH SHOUTING
AND THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET."
00:19:15.46\00:19:19.33
WERE THEY DELIGHTED?
00:19:19.33\00:19:21.86
THEY WERE FILLED WITH DELIGHT
AND THEY'RE BRINGING THE LAW
00:19:21.86\00:19:23.96
OF GOD UP TO THEIR TOWN.
00:19:23.96\00:19:26.56
THERE WAS A JOY
FROM SHOUTING, TRUMPETS.
00:19:26.56\00:19:29.93
THEY WERE WALKING
IN THE WAY OF THE LORD.
00:19:29.93\00:19:33.06
YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF DELIGHT,
I WAS READING THE NUMBER OF
00:19:33.06\00:19:36.26
COMMENTARIES ON THIS AND I READ
SOMETHING THAT ADAM CLARK WROTE
00:19:36.26\00:19:40.30
AND I THOUGHT, "YOU KNOW
WHAT HERE CAN I PLAGIARIZE?"
00:19:40.30\00:19:43.93
YOU CAN'T REALLY PLAGIARIZE
BECAUSE HE'S BEEN DEAD
00:19:43.93\00:19:45.70
FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS.
00:19:45.70\00:19:47.03
HE'S BEEN DEAD FOR
PROBABLY 200 YEARS.
00:19:47.03\00:19:49.46
BUT FINALLY I THOUGHT WELL,
I'M JUST GONNA GIVE HIM CREDIT
00:19:49.46\00:19:52.73
AND READ IT FROM HIS PEN.
00:19:52.73\00:19:55.03
THESE ARE ADAM CLARK'S THOUGHTS
ON JUST THE IDEA OF THE MAN
00:19:55.03\00:20:00.53
WHO MEDITATES AND
DELIGHTS IN THE LAW OF GOD.
00:20:00.53\00:20:03.50
"HIS WILL, DESIRE, AFFECTION,
EVERY MOTIVE IN HIS HEART
00:20:03.50\00:20:09.16
AND EVERY MOVING PRINCIPLE
IN HIS SOUL ARE ON THE SIGHT
00:20:09.16\00:20:12.50
OF GOD AND IN HIS TRUTH.
00:20:12.50\00:20:15.23
HE TAKES UP THE LAW OF THE
LORD AS THE RULE OF HIS LIFE.
00:20:15.23\00:20:18.03
HE BRINGS ALL OF HIS ACTIONS
AND AFFECTIONS TO THIS HOLY
00:20:18.03\00:20:21.16
STANDARD.
00:20:21.16\00:20:22.26
HE LOOKS INTO THE PERFECT
LAW OF LIBERTY AND IS NOT
00:20:22.26\00:20:24.96
A FORGETFUL HEARER BUT A DOER
OF THE WORD AND IS THEREFORE
00:20:24.96\00:20:28.50
BLESSED IN HIS DEED.
00:20:28.50\00:20:29.56
HE NOT ONLY READS TO
GAIN KNOWLEDGE FROM THE DIVINE
00:20:29.56\00:20:32.16
ORACLES, BUT HE MEDITATES
ON WHAT HE READS, FEEDS ON IT.
00:20:32.16\00:20:35.80
AND THUS RECEIVING THE SINCERE
MILK OF THE WORD, HE GROWS
00:20:35.80\00:20:39.00
THEREBY UNTO ETERNAL LIFE.
00:20:39.00\00:20:41.00
THIS IS NOT AN
OCCASIONAL STUDY TO HIM.
00:20:41.00\00:20:43.36
IT IS HIS WORK DAY AND
NIGHT AS HIS HEART IS IN IT AS
00:20:43.36\00:20:47.10
THE EMPLOYMENT MUST BE FREQUENT
AND THE DISPOSITION TO IT
00:20:47.10\00:20:50.83
PERPETUAL."
00:20:50.83\00:20:52.53
BOY, THESE GUYS WERE GOOD.
00:20:52.53\00:20:55.56
I WISH I HAD A
VOCABULARY LIKE THAT.
00:20:55.56\00:20:59.36
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PERSON
WHO BASICALLY JUST--THEY BRING
00:20:59.36\00:21:02.20
THE WORD OF GOD INTO EVERY
FIBER OF THE WORK AND THE WOOF
00:21:02.20\00:21:05.73
OF WHO THEY ARE.
00:21:05.73\00:21:07.33
IT PENETRATES THE FABRIC.
00:21:07.33\00:21:09.30
THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT IT.
00:21:09.30\00:21:10.26
IF THEY WAKE UP AT
NIGHT AND THEY CAN'T SLEEP,
00:21:10.26\00:21:11.83
THEY'RE MEDITATING ON THE WORD.
00:21:11.83\00:21:13.43
AS THEY GO ABOUT THEIR
BUSINESS DURING THE DAY,
00:21:13.43\00:21:15.60
THEY'RE MEDITATING ON THE WORD.
00:21:15.60\00:21:17.10
AND YOU KNOW IF THERE EVER WAS
A TIME WHEN IT WAS EASY TO DO
00:21:17.10\00:21:21.16
THAT, IT'S NOW.
00:21:21.16\00:21:24.13
I MEAN, BACK IN THE TIME
OF DAVID, IF YOU WANTED TO
00:21:24.13\00:21:26.23
MEDITATE ON THE WORD, YOU WOULD
HAVE TO HAVE A SCROLL OR MAYBE
00:21:26.23\00:21:30.26
HAVE A SCRIBE READ IT TO YOU.
00:21:30.26\00:21:32.50
BUT NOW IF YOU WANT TO MEDITATE
ON THE WORD, YOU'VE GOT THE
00:21:32.50\00:21:35.73
BIBLE YOU CAN LISTEN TO ON CD.
00:21:35.73\00:21:38.40
YOU'VE GOT IT ON THE RADIO.
00:21:38.40\00:21:40.03
SOMEBODY JUST RECENTLY JUST
GAVE ME A LITTLE iPOD AND THIS
00:21:40.03\00:21:43.33
iPOD CAME FACTORY PREPARED
WITH ALL THE BIBLE ON IT
00:21:43.33\00:21:46.13
AND ALL THE
SPIRIT OF PROPHECY ON IT.
00:21:46.13\00:21:48.46
YOU CAN WALK AROUND, YOU
CAN LISTEN TO IT DURING THE DAY.
00:21:48.46\00:21:51.23
SO GRANTED WE ARE LIVING IN
AN AGE OF THE WORLD WHEN IT'S
00:21:51.23\00:21:55.33
HARDER THAN IT PROBABLY
EVER HAS BEEN TO KEEP FOCUSED
00:21:55.33\00:21:57.46
ON THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT
BE DISTRACTED BY THE COUNSEL
00:21:57.46\00:21:59.90
OF THE WICKED.
00:21:59.90\00:22:01.06
WE ALSO ARE LIVING IN AN AGE,
IN THE TIME OF THE WORLD WHEN
00:22:01.06\00:22:04.03
WE HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITY
AND WAYS TO LISTEN TO THE WORD
00:22:04.03\00:22:07.80
OF GOD.
00:22:07.80\00:22:09.26
HAVE IN OUR CARS AND,
YOU KNOW, LITTLE iPODS.
00:22:09.26\00:22:13.20
PEOPLE GO TO THE GYM.
00:22:13.20\00:22:14.93
YOU NOTICE THEY GOT THE COUNSEL
OF THE WICKED ON A TV SCREEN
00:22:14.93\00:22:17.80
ABOVE YOU.
00:22:17.80\00:22:20.20
EVERY TREADMILL AND STEP MASTER
IN THE GYM, YOU CAN BE WATCHING
00:22:20.20\00:22:25.53
THAT, BUT THEN I SEE OTHER
PEOPLE THAT BRING THEIR OWN
00:22:25.53\00:22:27.86
LITTLE iPODS AND I THOUGHT,
YOU KNOW I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:22:27.86\00:22:30.63
THAT GO TO THE GYM AND THEY
LISTEN TO SERMONS AND SO IT'S
00:22:30.63\00:22:33.80
POSSIBLE FOR EVERYBODY TO BE
ABLE TO PARTICIPATE THIS WAY.
00:22:33.80\00:22:38.26
HE MEDITATES ON THE WORD OF GOD.
00:22:38.26\00:22:39.66
GO WITH ME IN YOUR BIBLES,
ISAIAH 2:3, "MANY PEOPLE SHALL
00:22:39.66\00:22:45.60
COME--" I'M SORRY, YEAH.
00:22:45.60\00:22:47.73
"MANY PEOPLE SHALL COME AND
SAY, 'COME AND LET US GO UP TO
00:22:47.73\00:22:50.86
THE MOUNTAIN OF THE
LORD TO THE HOUSE OF THE GOD
00:22:50.86\00:22:53.03
OF JACOB.
00:22:53.03\00:22:54.00
HE WILL TEACH US HIS WAYS
AND WE WILL WALK IN HIS PATHS.
00:22:54.00\00:22:58.40
FOR OUT OF ZION SHALL GO
FORTH THE LAW AND THE WORD
00:22:58.40\00:23:01.73
OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.'"
AND SO THIS IS TALKING ABOUT
00:23:01.73\00:23:05.50
A TIME WHERE PEOPLE SAID, "OH,
LET'S GO UP TO THE HOUSE OF GOD
00:23:05.50\00:23:08.50
AND HEAR THE
WORD OF GOD TOGETHER."
00:23:08.50\00:23:11.03
THROUGH THE WEEK WE MEDITATE ON
THE WORD OF GOD AND WE DELIGHT
00:23:11.03\00:23:14.53
IN THE WORD OF GOD, BUT
HOW MUCH MORE SHOULD IT BE?
00:23:14.53\00:23:16.76
IS IT BETTER TO GO TO A POTLUCK
AND FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER, LET'S
00:23:16.76\00:23:21.26
ASSUME THE FOOD IS ALWAYS
GOOD, OR TO EAT AT HOME ALONE?
00:23:21.26\00:23:26.73
DO YOU ENJOY EATING A GOOD
MEAL WITH PEOPLE OR EATING BY
00:23:26.73\00:23:30.93
YOURSELF?
00:23:30.93\00:23:33.00
AT THE OFFICE DURING LUNCH,
I'VE NOTICED THAT, YOU KNOW,
00:23:33.00\00:23:36.56
WE GOT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE.
00:23:36.56\00:23:37.43
FREQUENTLY PEOPLE GO FROM
OFFICE TO OFFICE AND THEY'LL
00:23:37.43\00:23:40.56
SAY, "I'M GOING TO LUNCH.
00:23:40.56\00:23:42.13
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO WITH ME?
00:23:42.13\00:23:43.26
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO WITH ME?
00:23:43.26\00:23:43.86
LET'S GO DO IT TOGETHER."
00:23:43.86\00:23:45.80
'CAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE
ENJOY FELLOWSHIPPING AND EATING
00:23:45.80\00:23:48.36
TOGETHER.
00:23:48.36\00:23:49.30
EATING'S PLEASANT, BUT
IT'S FUN WHEN YOU CAN DO IT WITH
00:23:49.30\00:23:51.63
CONVERSATION.
00:23:51.63\00:23:54.00
IT'S NICE TO READ THE WORD
OF GOD AND DELIGHT IN THE WORD
00:23:54.00\00:23:56.46
OF GOD AND MEDITATE IN
THE WORD OF GOD ON YOUR OWN.
00:23:56.46\00:23:59.33
HOW MUCH MORE, WHEN WE
CAN DO IT TOGETHER LIKE THIS?
00:23:59.33\00:24:04.00
IT'S JUST AN HONOR,
FRIENDS, IT'S A PRIVILEGE.
00:24:04.00\00:24:06.50
AND THEN IT SAYS,
VERSE 3, I'M ON SCHEDULE.
00:24:06.50\00:24:12.13
HE, THIS PERSON WHO
MEDITATES ON THE WORD OF GOD,
00:24:12.13\00:24:14.53
WHAT'S THE FRUIT OF THAT.
00:24:14.53\00:24:15.73
WHAT'S THE RESULT?
00:24:15.73\00:24:16.76
HE WILL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED
BY THE RIVERS OF WATER THAT
00:24:16.76\00:24:22.13
BRINGS FORTH ITS FRUIT IN
ITS SEASON WHOSE LEAF ALSO WILL
00:24:22.13\00:24:26.33
NOT WITHER AND
WHATEVER HE DOES WILL PROSPER.
00:24:26.33\00:24:29.73
ALL RIGHT, FIRST OF ALL,
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE GARDEN
00:24:29.73\00:24:34.03
OF EDEN.
00:24:34.03\00:24:35.50
DOES IT TELL US IN THE BIBLE?
00:24:35.50\00:24:40.86
REVELATION 22:2, "IN THE
MIDDLE ITS STREET ON EITHER SIDE
00:24:40.86\00:24:44.40
OF THE RIVER WAS
THE TREE OF LIFE."
00:24:44.40\00:24:47.70
SO YOU GOT A TREE, YOU
GOT A RIVER, YOU GOT LEAVES
00:24:47.70\00:24:53.13
AND THE LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE
FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS,
00:24:53.13\00:24:55.60
RIGHT?
00:24:55.60\00:24:56.86
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN,
HOW MANY RIVERS WERE THERE?
00:24:56.86\00:25:00.43
FOUR RIVERS.
00:25:00.43\00:25:01.93
DOES IT SAY HE WILL BE
LIKE A TREE THAT SPROUTS UP BY
00:25:01.93\00:25:05.00
A RIVER?
00:25:05.00\00:25:07.00
I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE WORDS.
00:25:07.00\00:25:09.50
HE WILL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED.
00:25:09.50\00:25:12.93
NOW IS THERE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A TREE THAT JUST KIND
00:25:12.93\00:25:15.60
OF SPRINGS UP WILD
AND A TREE THAT'S PLANTED?
00:25:15.60\00:25:18.70
WHEN IT SAYS A TREE PLANTED,
IT MEANS A TREE THAT HAS BEEN
00:25:18.70\00:25:22.60
PLUCKED UP
SOMEWHERE ELSE, PLANTED HERE.
00:25:22.60\00:25:27.10
IT'S FERTILIZED.
00:25:27.10\00:25:28.30
IT'S CULTIVATED.
00:25:28.30\00:25:30.26
IT'S PRUNED.
00:25:30.26\00:25:31.50
IT'S IRRIGATED.
00:25:31.50\00:25:33.16
YOU MAY HAVE REMEMBERED THE
PLACE IN THE BIBLE WHERE MOSES
00:25:33.16\00:25:35.80
SAID, "THE LAND IN WHICH
I'M BRINGING YOU IS THE LAND
00:25:35.80\00:25:38.36
FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY.
00:25:38.36\00:25:39.73
IT'S NOT LIKE EGYPT
WHERE YOU WATER BY YOUR FOOT."
00:25:39.73\00:25:44.76
WHAT THAT MEANS IS IN THE
LAND OF EGYPT IT WAS A BIG FLAT
00:25:44.76\00:25:47.20
PLAIN BY THE NILE RIVER.
00:25:47.20\00:25:48.56
THEY WOULD DIG CANALS, THEY
CALLED THEM RIVERS, AND THEY
00:25:48.56\00:25:51.26
WOULD IRRIGATE THEIR ORCHARDS
AND THEY'D TAKE A CLOD OF DIRT
00:25:51.26\00:25:54.93
WITH THEIR FOOT AND THEY'D
BLOCK ONE AND THEY'D MAKE IT
00:25:54.93\00:25:57.40
FLOW AND IRRIGATE
ANOTHER ROW OF TREES.
00:25:57.40\00:25:59.66
AND THEN THEY'D TAKE THEIR FOOT
AND THEY'D BLOCK ANOTHER ONE
00:25:59.66\00:26:01.56
THEN MAKE IT IRRIGATE.
00:26:01.56\00:26:02.60
OR IF IT WAS TIME TO IRRIGATE
ONE, THEY'D KICK THE CLOD
00:26:02.60\00:26:04.60
OUT OF THE WAY,
THE WATER WOULD RUN.
00:26:04.60\00:26:06.66
IN SACRAMENTO,
WE UNDERSTAND THIS.
00:26:06.66\00:26:09.33
THEY GOT THE RICE PATTIES
OUT HERE, AND THEY DO THIS.
00:26:09.33\00:26:11.30
THEY IRRIGATE
THEIR FIELDS LIKE THAT.
00:26:11.30\00:26:13.06
IT'S VERY SIMPLE
GRAVITY IRRIGATION.
00:26:13.06\00:26:15.60
WELL, HE'S SAYING THIS
IS A TREE THAT IS PLANTED BY
00:26:15.60\00:26:19.90
AN ABUNDANT WATER SUPPLY.
00:26:19.90\00:26:23.83
BUT DON'T MISS THE
POINT, IT'S PLANTED.
00:26:23.83\00:26:26.50
DOES CHRIST TALK ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANTING?
00:26:26.50\00:26:30.00
MATTHEW 15:13, "EVERY PLANT
WHICH MY HEAVENLY FATHER HAS
00:26:30.00\00:26:35.96
NOT PLANTED WILL BE UPROOTED."
00:26:35.96\00:26:39.23
SO IF THIS IS A TREE PLANTED
AND IF IT SAYS THE LORD GOD
00:26:39.23\00:26:43.73
PLANTED A TREE IN THE GARDEN
OF EDEN AND IF THE TREE OF LIFE
00:26:43.73\00:26:47.46
IS BY THE RIVER OF LIFE,
YOU ARE TO BE TREES OF LIFE
00:26:47.46\00:26:50.93
PLANTED BY RIVERS OF LIFE
CHRIST IS THE LIVING WATER,
00:26:50.93\00:26:54.00
RIGHT?
00:26:54.00\00:26:55.33
THAT IS BRINGING FORTH FRUIT.
00:26:55.33\00:26:59.20
AND HOW MUCH DOES
THE LORD WANT FRUIT?
00:26:59.20\00:27:01.93
HOW DISAPPOINTED IS HE
WHEN HE DOESN'T GET FRUIT?
00:27:01.93\00:27:04.03
SOMETIMES THE FRUIT DOESN'T
COME RIGHT AWAY BUT THERE'S
00:27:04.03\00:27:06.06
NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.
00:27:06.06\00:27:08.46
YOU REMEMBER IN THE--I BELIEVE
IT'S IN LUKE 13 WHERE JESUS
00:27:08.46\00:27:11.56
TELLS A PARABLE ABOUT A MAN WHO
PLANTED A TREE IN HIS GARDEN.
00:27:11.56\00:27:16.03
AND 3 YEARS HE COMES LOOKING
FOR FRUIT ON THE TREE AND HE
00:27:16.03\00:27:19.26
DOESN'T FIND IT AND HE SAYS TO
THE GARDENER, THE MAN WHO CARES
00:27:19.26\00:27:22.30
FOR THE ORCHARD, HE
SAID, "I'VE GOT THIS TREE HERE.
00:27:22.30\00:27:24.16
I'VE IRRIGATED IT.
00:27:24.16\00:27:25.40
I'VE PRUNED IT.
00:27:25.40\00:27:26.46
I'VE FERTILIZED IT.
00:27:26.46\00:27:27.43
NO FRUIT, CUT IT DOWN."
00:27:27.43\00:27:29.96
BUT, YOU KNOW, THE GARDENER'S
SORT OF GROWN--DEVELOPED
00:27:29.96\00:27:32.93
A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE TREE, I GUESS.
00:27:32.93\00:27:35.13
HE SAID, "MASTER,
GIVE IT ANOTHER YEAR."
00:27:35.13\00:27:37.30
HE SAID, "I'LL
IRRIGATE IT BETTER.
00:27:37.30\00:27:38.83
I'LL PRUNE IT BETTER.
00:27:38.83\00:27:39.80
I'LL FERTILIZE IT BETTER.
00:27:39.80\00:27:42.60
I'LL DO EVERYTHING I
CAN, GIVE IT ONE MORE YEAR."
00:27:42.60\00:27:45.13
HE SAID, "ALL RIGHT,
AFTER THAT, CUT IT DOWN."
00:27:45.13\00:27:47.40
BY THE WAY, THAT WAS A
PARABLE OF THE JEWISH NATION.
00:27:47.40\00:27:49.90
REMEMBER JESUS
WENT TO A TREE ONE TIME?
00:27:49.90\00:27:52.56
THE ONLY TIME CHRIST
EVER CURSED ANYTHING, HE WENT
00:27:52.56\00:27:56.33
LOOKING FOR FRUIT ON A TREE
THAT HAD LEAVES BUT NO FRUIT
00:27:56.33\00:28:00.83
AND HE CURSED IT.
00:28:00.83\00:28:03.83
SO HE DOESN'T WANT US TO
JUST HAVE THE LEAVES OF NOMINAL
00:28:03.83\00:28:06.23
CHRISTIANITY AND SAY,
"I'M A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH."
00:28:06.23\00:28:10.20
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS
IT SAYS ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUS,
00:28:10.20\00:28:12.86
I DIDN'T ADDRESS
THIS SPECIFICALLY.
00:28:12.86\00:28:16.46
IT SAYS, "THE RIGHTEOUS
MAN DOESN'T SIT IN THE SEAT
00:28:16.46\00:28:18.46
OF THE SCORNFUL.
00:28:18.46\00:28:19.80
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A
MEETING WHERE SOMEONE WAS TAKING
00:28:19.80\00:28:23.23
THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN
OR THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE
00:28:23.23\00:28:27.16
OR MAYBE THE SUPPOSED TO BE
CHRISTIAN MUSIC, BUT YOU KNOW
00:28:27.16\00:28:32.06
IT'S NOT, IT'S MAYBE CHRISTIAN
WORDS AND DIABOLICAL MUSIC,
00:28:32.06\00:28:36.16
AND YOU JUST HAD TO
GET UP AND WALK OUT?
00:28:36.16\00:28:39.63
I'LL SUBMIT TO YOU THAT
IF YOU'RE A BIBLE CHRISTIAN,
00:28:39.63\00:28:42.33
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY YOU
OUGHT TO BE WALKING AWAY FROM
00:28:42.33\00:28:44.86
SOME CONVERSATIONS.
00:28:44.86\00:28:46.36
YOU OUGHT TO BE GETTING UP AND
WALKING OUT OF SOME ASSEMBLIES
00:28:46.36\00:28:48.80
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE A REAL
CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE GONNA BE PUT
00:28:48.80\00:28:51.50
IN THOSE SITUATIONS
PERIODICALLY WHERE YOU NEED
00:28:51.50\00:28:53.40
TO STAND UP TO THE LORD AND JUST
SAY, "EXCUSE ME, I DON'T WANT
00:28:53.40\00:28:55.70
TO BE LISTENING TO
THIS," AND WALK AWAY.
00:28:55.70\00:28:58.66
AND I DON'T MEAN YOU GOTTA
BE RUDE OR OBNOXIOUS BUT AT SOME
00:28:58.66\00:29:01.03
POINT YOU GOTTA SAY, "I
AM RIGHT NOW SURROUNDED WITH
00:29:01.03\00:29:03.53
THE SCORNFUL AND I'M LEAVING."
00:29:03.53\00:29:05.90
'CAUSE THE BIBLE
SAYS DON'T BE THERE.
00:29:05.90\00:29:08.93
OR THIS IS THE PATH OF
THE WICKED AND I'M GETTING
00:29:08.93\00:29:12.46
OUT OF HERE.
00:29:12.46\00:29:17.63
BUT THE RIGHTEOUS,
JEREMIAH 17:8, HE QUOTES DAVID.
00:29:17.63\00:29:26.10
"HE WILL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED
BY THE WATERS WHICH SPREADS
00:29:26.10\00:29:30.16
OUT ITS ROOTS."
00:29:30.16\00:29:32.00
IT'S GOT ROOTS.
00:29:32.00\00:29:33.33
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU FIRST PLANT
THE TREE, THE FIRST YEAR'S KIND
00:29:33.33\00:29:35.33
OF--YOU'RE HOPING
IT'S GONNA DO OKAY.
00:29:35.33\00:29:38.36
WHEN IT BEGINS TO PUT
OUT NEW LIFE, I'LL TELL YOU
00:29:38.36\00:29:40.16
A SECRET ABOUT TREES.
00:29:40.16\00:29:41.66
YOU CAN ALMOST ALWAYS
TELL WHAT'S HAPPENING BELOW THE
00:29:41.66\00:29:44.83
GROUND BY WHAT'S
HAPPENING ABOVE THE GROUND.
00:29:44.83\00:29:49.06
YOU GOT THAT?
00:29:49.06\00:29:50.76
A LAW, NOT ALWAYS BUT MOST
OF THE TIME, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
00:29:50.76\00:29:55.60
ABOUT HOW FAR OUT A TREE'S
ROOTS GO, THEY OFTEN GO OUT
00:29:55.60\00:29:59.90
UNDERGROUND AS FAR AS
THEY'RE GOING OUT ABOVE GROUND.
00:29:59.90\00:30:06.03
THEY OFTEN GO AS
DEEP AS THEY GO HIGH.
00:30:06.03\00:30:08.56
NOW THAT'S NOT ALWAYS TRUE.
00:30:08.56\00:30:09.83
SOME TREES GO DEEPER
LIKE OAKS, THEY GO WAY DOWN.
00:30:09.83\00:30:16.93
BUT YOU CAN OFTEN TELL WHAT'S
HAPPENING WITH THE HEALTH OF
00:30:16.93\00:30:19.90
THE ROOT BY WHAT'S
HAPPENING WITH THE FRUIT.
00:30:19.90\00:30:23.93
AND IF IT'S NOT BUDDING
AND LEAVING ABOVE GROUND,
00:30:23.93\00:30:27.23
IT MIGHT BE SICK BELOW GROUND.
00:30:27.23\00:30:29.93
ARE YOU ROOTED IN THE WORD?
00:30:29.93\00:30:32.00
ARE YOUR ROOTS GOING DOWN?
00:30:32.00\00:30:36.86
I LIKE THIS, THIS TREE
IS BY THE RIVERS OF WATER.
00:30:36.86\00:30:42.60
IF ONE FAILS,
IT'S GOT AN ALTERNATE.
00:30:42.60\00:30:45.53
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THE DROUGHT.
00:30:45.53\00:30:47.53
IF A CHRISTIAN IS LIVING DURING
THE TIME OF SPIRITUAL FAMINE,
00:30:47.53\00:30:52.26
IF THEY'RE ROOTED IN THE
WORD, THEY'RE DOING OKAY.
00:30:52.26\00:30:58.36
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HIM?
00:30:58.36\00:31:00.70
IT SAYS WHATEVER
HE DOES WILL PROSPER.
00:31:00.70\00:31:03.86
I'M JUST CURIOUS,
ANYBODY HERE WANT TO PROSPER?
00:31:03.86\00:31:06.90
NOW YOU'VE HEARD
ABOUT PROSPERITY PREACHERS?
00:31:06.90\00:31:10.00
WHEN A PROSPERITY
PREACHER TALKS ABOUT PROSPERITY,
00:31:10.00\00:31:11.90
HE'S THINKING MONEY.
00:31:11.90\00:31:14.83
NOW THAT CAN BE PART OF
PROSPERITY BUT WHEN I'M TALKING
00:31:14.83\00:31:17.23
ABOUT PROSPERITY, IT'S
LIKE JOHN SAYS, "I HOPE THAT YOU
00:31:17.23\00:31:20.56
PROSPER IN
SPIRIT AND PHYSICALLY.
00:31:20.56\00:31:23.63
I HOPE YOU PROSPER
PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY."
00:31:23.63\00:31:26.16
HE DOESN'T EVEN
MENTION THE MONEY PART.
00:31:26.16\00:31:29.63
I WANT YOU TO PROSPER ON THE
INSIDE BECAUSE IF YOU PROSPER
00:31:29.63\00:31:32.26
ON THE INSIDE, YOU
WILL PROSPER FINANCIALLY.
00:31:32.26\00:31:37.00
YOU'LL EVENTUALLY BE
ON STREETS OF GOLD, RIGHT,
00:31:37.00\00:31:40.16
LIVING IN A MANSION.
00:31:40.16\00:31:41.00
EVERYBODY'S GONNA GET THE HOUSE
OF YOUR DREAMS IF YOU PROSPER
00:31:41.00\00:31:44.20
SPIRITUALLY FIRST.
00:31:44.20\00:31:46.13
IF YOU SEEK FIRST GOD'S
KINGDOM, EVERYTHING ELSE IS
00:31:46.13\00:31:48.63
GONNA BE ADDED TO YOU.
00:31:48.63\00:31:49.96
I DON'T KNOW WHEN.
00:31:49.96\00:31:50.96
SOME YOU IT WILL START IN THIS
LIFE, MOST OF US IT WILL START
00:31:50.96\00:31:53.93
IN THE NEXT LIFE BUT
YOU WILL PROSPER THAT WAY.
00:31:53.93\00:31:58.73
WHATEVER HE DOES WILL PROSPER.
00:31:58.73\00:32:01.43
SPURGEON SAID THIS ABOUT
THIS VERSE, "THERE IS A CURSE
00:32:01.43\00:32:05.80
WRAPPED UP IN THE WICKED
MAN'S MERCIES AND SO THERE'S
00:32:05.80\00:32:08.83
A BLESSING CONCEALED IN
THE RIGHTEOUS MAN'S CROSSES,
00:32:08.83\00:32:12.03
LOSSES AND SORROWS."
00:32:12.03\00:32:13.56
WHEN THE BIBLE PROMISES THAT IF
YOU MEDITATE ON THE LAW OF GOD
00:32:13.56\00:32:16.63
AND YOU'RE IN THE PATH OF
GOD, THAT YOU WILL PROSPER
00:32:16.63\00:32:20.06
IN WHATEVER YOU DO AND
YOU'LL BRING FORTH FRUIT.
00:32:20.06\00:32:22.16
THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT
THERE'LL BE NO TRIALS IN LIFE.
00:32:22.16\00:32:26.63
WHAT IT'S SAYING IS WITH
ALL THE TRIALS, YOU'LL STILL
00:32:26.63\00:32:29.43
PROSPER ON THE INSIDE.
00:32:29.43\00:32:32.20
DID JOSEPH HAVE TRIALS?
00:32:32.20\00:32:34.60
OH, YEAH.
00:32:34.60\00:32:37.43
BUT YOU ADD UP HOW MUCH OF
HIS TRIALS AND THEN YOU SAY
00:32:37.43\00:32:39.86
HE LIVED TO 110 IN THE LAST
70 YEARS OF HIS LIFE, HE WAS
00:32:39.86\00:32:44.03
THE PRIME MINISTER OF EGYPT.
00:32:44.03\00:32:45.86
DID JOSEPH HAVE TRIALS?
00:32:45.86\00:32:49.33
I'M SORRY, DID JOB HAVE TRIALS?
00:32:49.33\00:32:52.43
YEAH, AND IT MAY HAVE LASTED
A MATTER OF WEEKS AND THEY WERE
00:32:52.43\00:32:55.73
SEVERE TRIALS.
00:32:55.73\00:32:59.03
BUT ON THE CONTINUUM OF HIS
LIFE WHEN IT SAYS THAT HE WAS
00:32:59.03\00:33:04.06
A BLESSED MAN BEFORE AND HE
WAS A BLESSED MAN AND HE WAS
00:33:04.06\00:33:07.30
THE GREATEST MAN, A HOLY
MAN BEFORE AND AFTER, YOU'VE GOT
00:33:07.30\00:33:10.20
THIS DARK SPOT IN THE MIDDLE
WHEN HE SUFFERED THESE TRIALS.
00:33:10.20\00:33:16.13
SOME PEOPLE'S LIVES
ARE THE NEGATIVE OF THAT.
00:33:16.13\00:33:19.50
THEY GOT A LITTLE BRIGHT
SPOT AND CURSES ALL THE REST
00:33:19.50\00:33:21.83
OF THE TIME.
00:33:21.83\00:33:23.26
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE?
00:33:23.26\00:33:26.33
SO YEAH, CHRISTIANS DO SUFFER.
00:33:26.33\00:33:27.73
DID ABRAHAM LIVE
DURING A TIME OF FAMINE?
00:33:27.73\00:33:31.56
HE DID THAT'S WHY HE HAD TO
GO DOWN TO EGYPT AND SAY THAT
00:33:31.56\00:33:33.80
SARAH WAS HIS SISTER.
00:33:33.80\00:33:36.80
BUT DID GOD PROSPER HIM?
00:33:36.80\00:33:39.03
CAME OUT OF EGYPT WITH GREAT
WEALTH, NOT BECAUSE HE SAID
00:33:39.03\00:33:42.30
SARAH WAS HIS SISTER.
00:33:42.30\00:33:44.16
I'M JUST SAYING THAT GOD'S
PEOPLES THEY ALSO HAD TRIALS,
00:33:44.16\00:33:47.16
THEY HAD FAMINE BUT HE
PROSPERED THEM AND HE'LL
00:33:47.16\00:33:49.26
PROSPER YOU IF YOU
MAKE THE LORD YOUR CENTER.
00:33:49.26\00:33:53.76
PSALM 128:1-2, "BLESSED IS
EVERYONE WHO FEARS THE LORD
00:33:53.76\00:33:59.10
WHO WALKS IN HIS WAYS.
00:33:59.10\00:34:00.90
WHEN YOU EAT THE LABOR OF
YOUR HANDS, YOU WILL BE HAPPY
00:34:00.90\00:34:05.06
AND IT WILL BE WELL WITH YOU.
00:34:05.06\00:34:07.30
WALKING IN THE WAYS OF
GOD, YOU WILL BE HAPPY."
00:34:07.30\00:34:10.03
THAT'S WHY I'M TELLING
YOU THIS MESSAGE THIS MORNING.
00:34:10.03\00:34:11.96
I WANT YOU TO
SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.
00:34:11.96\00:34:14.13
IT'LL BE WELL WITH
YOU AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY.
00:34:14.13\00:34:20.20
AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
BECAUSE THIS TREE'S PLANTED BY
00:34:20.20\00:34:22.83
THE RIVERS, THERE
IS SPIRITUAL FRUIT.
00:34:22.83\00:34:25.80
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
00:34:25.80\00:34:28.76
GENESIS 39:3 WITH JOSEPH
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL THAT--
00:34:28.76\00:34:35.86
HIS MASTER SAW THAT ALL THAT
HE DID, THE LORD WAS WITH HIM
00:34:35.86\00:34:41.06
AND THE LORD MADE ALL HE
DID TO PROSPER IN HIS HAND.
00:34:41.06\00:34:44.93
IN JOSHUA 1:7, AND I TOLD
YOU A MINUTE AGO ABOUT JEREMIAH
00:34:44.93\00:34:50.56
READING WHAT DAVID
SAID AND QUOTING HIM.
00:34:50.56\00:34:54.23
HERE YOU'VE GOT DAVID QUOTING
WHAT JOSHUA SAID 'CAUSE JOSHUA
00:34:54.23\00:34:57.66
LIVED BEFORE KING DAVID SO WHEN
DAVID WRITES THE FIRST PSALM,
00:34:57.66\00:35:01.43
HE MAY HAVE BEEN
INFLUENCED BY THIS VERSE.
00:35:01.43\00:35:03.90
JOSHUA SAID, "ONLY BE STRONG
AND VERY COURAGEOUS THAT YOU
00:35:03.90\00:35:09.13
MAY OBSERVE TO DO ALL THAT
THE LORD--ALL THAT THE LORD
00:35:09.13\00:35:13.66
WHICH MOSES MY SERVANT COMMANDED
YOU--" I'M SORRY, "ACCORDING
00:35:13.66\00:35:17.83
TO ALL THE LAW WHICH
MOSES MY SERVANT COMMANDED YOU.
00:35:17.83\00:35:21.76
AND DO NOT TURN FROM IT
TO THE RIGHT HAND OR THE LEFT
00:35:21.76\00:35:24.63
THAT YOU MAY
PROSPER WHEREVER YOU GO."
00:35:24.63\00:35:29.30
SO IN OBEYING THE LAW OF
GOD, HE'S PROMISING THAT YOU'LL
00:35:29.30\00:35:31.80
PROSPER.
00:35:31.80\00:35:33.50
IT'S NOT IN MY NOTES BUT
I REMEMBER IN DEUTERONOMY 5
00:35:33.50\00:35:37.46
I THINK IT'S VERSE 29, MOSES
SAID, "OH, THAT THERE WAS SUCH
00:35:37.46\00:35:42.43
A HEART IN THEM THAT THEY
WOULD FEAR ME AND KEEP ALL OF MY
00:35:42.43\00:35:46.73
COMMANDMENTS ALWAYS THAT
IT MIGHT BE WELL WITH THEM AND
00:35:46.73\00:35:51.06
THEIR CHILDREN AFTER THEM."
00:35:51.06\00:35:54.03
THAT THEY MIGHT FEAR
ME AND KEEP ALL, HOW MANY?
00:35:54.03\00:35:57.16
ALWAYS.
00:35:57.16\00:35:58.60
WHY?
00:35:58.60\00:35:59.36
THAT IT MIGHT BE WELL WITH THEM
AND THEIR CHILDREN AFTER THEM.
00:35:59.36\00:36:04.30
IT'S A SIMPLE TRUTH.
00:36:04.30\00:36:06.16
GOD WANTS TO BLESS US.
00:36:06.16\00:36:08.76
AND THEN, OF COURSE,
IT TALKS ABOUT THE WICKED.
00:36:08.76\00:36:12.20
IT'S CONTRASTING THE LIFE,
THE LEAVES OF THE RIGHTEOUS,
00:36:12.20\00:36:16.73
THEIR LEAF DOES NOT WITHER.
00:36:16.73\00:36:17.90
YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOU GOT
THE FRUIT BUT THE LEAF STARTS
00:36:17.90\00:36:19.46
TO WITHER WHEN IT GETS DRY.
00:36:19.46\00:36:21.33
THEIR BEAUTY HOLDS UP.
00:36:21.33\00:36:23.03
THE TREE STILL HAS ITS SYMMETRY.
00:36:23.03\00:36:24.76
IT'S GOT ITS BALANCE.
00:36:24.76\00:36:25.76
IT'S STILL TAKING IN ENERGY
AND IT'S PROSPERING EVEN DURING
00:36:25.76\00:36:29.93
A DROUGHT BECAUSE
IT'S PLANTED IN THE RIVERS.
00:36:29.93\00:36:32.73
THE TREE IS NOT INFLUENCED BY
WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE OUTSIDE
00:36:32.73\00:36:37.16
WITH THE COLD OF NIGHT
AND THE HEAT OF THE DAY WITH
00:36:37.16\00:36:39.83
THE RAIN OR WITH THE DROUGHT
BECAUSE OF WHERE ITS ROOTS ARE.
00:36:39.83\00:36:43.56
ITS ROOTS ARE WRAPPED AROUND
A ROCK BY A RIVER AND THAT'S
00:36:43.56\00:36:47.13
HOW A CHRISTIAN IS.
00:36:47.13\00:36:48.60
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE INFLUENCED
BY WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH
00:36:48.60\00:36:51.76
THE WIND OR THE WEATHER
ABOVE GROUND BECAUSE OF WHAT'S
00:36:51.76\00:36:54.70
HAPPENING IN YOUR HEART THAT
CANNOT BE SEEN BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:36:54.70\00:36:58.73
ROOTED IN CHRIST.
00:36:58.73\00:37:00.36
AND THE WORLD MAY NOT
SEE, BUT YOU'VE GOT ROOTS
00:37:00.36\00:37:02.10
FOR THE WICKED ARE NOT SO.
00:37:02.10\00:37:05.36
IT GOES ON TO DESCRIBE THEM.
00:37:05.36\00:37:07.93
THE UNGODLY--MATTER OF
FACT IN THE ORIGINAL MOORE SAYS,
00:37:07.93\00:37:10.86
"NOT SO WITH THE UNGODLY."
00:37:10.86\00:37:14.23
THAT'S HOW IT
READS IN THE VULGATE.
00:37:14.23\00:37:15.86
"BUT THEY ARE LIKE THE CHAFF
WHICH THE WINDS DRIVES AWAY."
00:37:15.86\00:37:21.73
NOW WE DON'T GET TO SEE THIS
VERY OFTEN THESE DAYS BUT BACK
00:37:21.73\00:37:28.30
IN BIBLE TIMES WHEN PEOPLE
HARVESTED AND THEY HAD THEIR
00:37:28.30\00:37:31.13
GRAIN AND THEY HAD THEIR BREAD,
THEY WOULD--YOU COULD RUB THE
00:37:31.13\00:37:34.76
GRAIN IN YOUR HANDS AND
YOU COULD BLOW, THE CHAFF WOULD
00:37:34.76\00:37:37.66
BLOW AWAY AND THE WEIGHT OF
THE GRAIN STAYS IN YOUR HAND.
00:37:37.66\00:37:41.10
THE USELESS PART OF
THE DRY CHAFF BLOWS AWAY.
00:37:41.10\00:37:44.53
IT'S THE RESIDUE.
00:37:44.53\00:37:46.43
IT'S THE SHELL, THE HUSKS,
THE EMPTINESS OF THE FRUIT.
00:37:46.43\00:37:51.93
IT'S LIKE IF I WERE TO SAY,
"HEY, LET'S SIT DOWN BY THE FIRE
00:37:51.93\00:37:56.06
AND WE'LL HAVE
SOME PEANUTS TOGETHER."
00:37:56.06\00:37:58.36
ANY OF YOU LIKE JUST SITTING
THERE BY A CAMPFIRE EATING
00:37:58.36\00:38:00.40
LIKE SALTED PEANUTS?
00:38:00.40\00:38:02.36
OR MAYBE YOUR
THINKING SUNFLOWER SEEDS.
00:38:02.36\00:38:04.56
DOES ANYBODY KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:38:04.56\00:38:06.90
PISTACHIOS?
00:38:06.90\00:38:08.80
TAKE YOUR PICK, I MEAN,
YOU MUST LIKE SOMETHING.
00:38:08.80\00:38:13.10
SO WE SIT DOWN
TOGETHER AND I SAY, "WELL, LOOK,
00:38:13.10\00:38:16.86
LET'S SHARE 50/50.
00:38:16.86\00:38:19.20
I'LL EAT THE NUTS,
YOU EAT THE SHELLS.
00:38:19.20\00:38:24.40
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE?
00:38:24.40\00:38:27.63
NOW I DON'T KNOW, I WILL
ADMIT THAT WHEN THEY'RE SALTED,
00:38:27.63\00:38:30.26
SOMETIMES I'LL SUCK THE SALT
OFF THE SHELL AND THEN I'LL EAT
00:38:30.26\00:38:32.56
THE NUT OUT OF IT, BUT I
DON'T SWALLOW THE SHELLS.
00:38:32.56\00:38:37.66
I KNEW A GUY ONE TIME,
HE'D EAT SUNFLOWER SEEDS
00:38:37.66\00:38:39.33
SHELL AND ALL...
00:38:39.33\00:38:42.30
WHOO.
00:38:42.30\00:38:43.73
TALK ABOUT ROUGHAGE.
00:38:43.73\00:38:47.33
BUT THIS IS WHAT THE CHAFF IS.
00:38:47.33\00:38:50.20
THIS IS THE STUFF THAT'S
CAST OFF, IT'S WEIGHTLESS.
00:38:50.20\00:38:54.36
IT HAS NO WEIGHT.
00:38:54.36\00:38:55.10
IT HAS NO ANCHOR.
00:38:55.10\00:38:55.86
IT BLOWS AWAY
WHICHEVER WAY THE WIND GOES.
00:38:55.86\00:38:58.70
IT GETS BURNED UP.
00:38:58.70\00:38:59.83
IT'S USELESS.
00:38:59.83\00:39:02.26
CHRIST TALKS ABOUT THE
CHAFF, IT'S DRY, USELESS,
00:39:02.26\00:39:07.80
LOST TO OBLIVION.
00:39:07.80\00:39:10.73
LOOK AT THE CONTRAST
AND THE METAPHOR BETWEEN
00:39:10.73\00:39:12.66
THE FRUIT AND THE CHAFF.
00:39:12.66\00:39:15.66
ONE GIVES LIFE, ONE IS
USELESS AND IT'S CONSIGNED
00:39:15.66\00:39:19.10
TO THE FLAMES.
00:39:19.10\00:39:22.13
MATTHEW 3:12, SPEAKING OF
JOHN THE BAPTIST WHERE JOHN
00:39:22.13\00:39:26.23
THE BAPTIST IS PREACHING HERE.
00:39:26.23\00:39:27.83
SPEAKING OF THE MESSIAH, "HIS
WINNOWING FAN IS IN HIS HAND."
00:39:27.83\00:39:33.70
NOW DO Y'ALL KNOW
WHAT A WINNOWING FAN IS?
00:39:33.70\00:39:35.70
WHAT THEY WOULD DO IN BIBLE
TIMES, THEY'D HAVE ONE PERSON,
00:39:35.70\00:39:39.76
IT'S USUALLY THE WOMEN THAT
OFTEN DID THIS, THEY WOULD TAKE
00:39:39.76\00:39:42.40
SOMETHING LIKE A PITCHFORK
BUT IT HAD THICK BLADES.
00:39:42.40\00:39:45.66
THEY'D SCOOP THE WHEAT,
THEY'D BEAT IT, THEN THEY'D
00:39:45.66\00:39:49.40
SCOOP THE WHEAT.
00:39:49.40\00:39:50.10
THEY'D THROW IT IN THE AIR.
00:39:50.10\00:39:51.33
IF THERE WAS A
BREEZE, THE BREEZE WOULD BLOW
00:39:51.33\00:39:53.60
THE CHAFF ASIDE.
00:39:53.60\00:39:55.36
THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE
THESE THRESHING FLOORS.
00:39:55.36\00:39:57.10
THEY'D CATCH ALL THE
GRAIN ON THIS NICE PAVEMENT.
00:39:57.10\00:39:59.16
IT WOULD BLOW ALL THE CHAFF
ASIDE, THAT WOULD BE EVENTUALLY
00:39:59.16\00:40:02.23
BURNED.
00:40:02.23\00:40:02.96
THE GOOD WHEAT WOULD FALL DOWN.
00:40:02.96\00:40:04.46
A LOT OF TIMES DURING THE
HARVEST, THERE WAS NO WIND AND
00:40:04.46\00:40:07.53
SO THEY HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE
THAT THEY WOULD WEAVE THESE BIG
00:40:07.53\00:40:09.96
OLD FANS AND
THEY'D GO LIKE THIS...
00:40:09.96\00:40:12.70
THEY'D HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE
THAT WERE FANNING JUST LIKE
00:40:12.70\00:40:14.26
THIS WHILE THE OTHER PERSON
WAS THROWING THE WHEAT UP IN
00:40:14.26\00:40:16.83
THE GROUND AND IT WAS
BLOWING THE CHAFF AWAY.
00:40:16.83\00:40:19.03
SO IT IS A PROACTIVE
TYPE OF SEPARATING THE WHEAT
00:40:19.03\00:40:23.80
FROM THE CHAFF.
00:40:23.80\00:40:25.10
THE BIBLE SAYS THE LORD,
WHEN HE COMES, IS GOING TO
00:40:25.10\00:40:27.26
PROACTIVELY SEPARATE
THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF.
00:40:27.26\00:40:30.90
NOW DO WE HAVE THE WHEAT
AND THE TARES MIXED UP TODAY?
00:40:30.90\00:40:35.40
YOU GOT SOME WHEAT IN
THE CHURCH AND YOU GOT
00:40:35.40\00:40:37.56
SOME WEEDS IN THE CHURCH.
00:40:37.56\00:40:39.70
YOU GOT SOME SHEEP
AND YOU GOT SOME WOLVES.
00:40:39.70\00:40:42.86
AND RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T TELL
SOMETIMES WHO'S WHO UNLESS YOU
00:40:42.86\00:40:46.73
GET ON FACEBOOK, YOU CAN
TELL PRETTY QUICK WHEN YOU GO ON
00:40:46.73\00:40:49.46
THERE.
00:40:49.46\00:40:51.50
I'VE SAID TOO MUCH
ABOUT THAT ALREADY.
00:40:51.50\00:40:55.10
IT SAYS, "HIS
WINNOWING FAN IS IN HIS HAND."
00:40:55.10\00:40:57.80
I'M STILL IN MATTHEW 3:12.
00:40:57.80\00:40:59.56
"AND HE WILL THOROUGHLY
CLEAN OUT HIS THRESHING FLOOR
00:40:59.56\00:41:02.96
AND GATHER HIS WHEAT."
00:41:02.96\00:41:04.40
THERE'S NO CHAFF LEFT AMONG
THE WHEAT, IT IS SEPARATED.
00:41:04.40\00:41:07.66
"HE WILL GATHER HIS WHEAT INTO
THE BARN, BUT HE WILL BURN UP
00:41:07.66\00:41:10.33
THE CHAFF WITH
UNQUENCHABLE FIRE."
00:41:10.33\00:41:14.13
CHAFF IS WHAT'S LEFT
WHEN ALL THE GOOD IS GONE.
00:41:14.13\00:41:16.60
IT HAS NO GOOD IN IT.
00:41:16.60\00:41:18.90
IT HAS NO WHEAT, HAS NO WEIGHT.
00:41:18.90\00:41:21.93
IT'S LIKE A SHIP
WITHOUT AN ANCHOR.
00:41:21.93\00:41:23.66
IT'S LIKE THAT HOUSE THAT'S
BUILT ON SAND RATHER THAN ROCK.
00:41:23.66\00:41:27.13
WHEN THE STORM COMES, IT
JUST TAKES THE FOUNDATION AWAY,
00:41:27.13\00:41:30.50
IT WASHES IT AWAY.
00:41:30.50\00:41:31.53
WHEN THE STORM COMES,
THE CHAFF IS BLOWN AWAY.
00:41:31.53\00:41:35.16
YOU'VE GOTTA BE
ROOTED LIKE A TREE.
00:41:35.16\00:41:36.90
THE ONLY WAY TO GIVE YOU ROOT
IS YOU'VE GOTTA WRAP YOUR ROOTS
00:41:36.90\00:41:38.86
AROUND THE ROCK OF
GOD'S WORD, HIS LAW.
00:41:38.86\00:41:42.23
CHRIST IS THAT ROCK OF AGES
AND THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA GIVE
00:41:42.23\00:41:44.43
YOU STANDING AND THAT'S
WHAT'S GONNA GIVE YOU HAPPINESS.
00:41:44.43\00:41:47.70
THE PSALM IS SO SIMPLE,
BUT IT'S LAYING OUT FOR US
00:41:47.70\00:41:51.10
THE PRINCIPLES OF LIFE.
00:41:51.10\00:41:53.63
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT ABOUT
THE CHAFF AND IT USES ACTUALLY
00:41:53.63\00:41:57.93
DANIEL 2:35.
00:41:57.93\00:42:00.43
REMEMBER THE IMAGE DANIEL TALKS
ABOUT OF THAT GIANT MAN MADE
00:42:00.43\00:42:05.13
OUT OF ALL THE METAL
EMERALDS, MINERALS RATHER.
00:42:05.13\00:42:09.30
YOU GOT THE HEAD OF
GOLD-- THIS IS IN DANIEL 2.
00:42:09.30\00:42:11.73
HEAD OF GOLD, CHEST OF SILVER,
BELLIES AND THIGHS OF BRONZE,
00:42:11.73\00:42:16.56
LEGS OF IRON,
FEET OF IRON AND CLAY.
00:42:16.56\00:42:19.00
AND HE WATCHES UNTIL A STONE IS
CUT OUT A MOUNT WITHOUT HANDS.
00:42:19.00\00:42:22.90
WHO'S THAT STONE?
00:42:22.90\00:42:24.43
THAT'S CHRIST.
00:42:24.43\00:42:25.36
THAT'S THE ROCK OF
AGES, THAT'S THE LAW OF GOD.
00:42:25.36\00:42:27.73
IT COMES AND IT SMITES THE
IMAGE ON THE FEET AND THE WHOLE
00:42:27.73\00:42:30.76
IMAGE, NOT JUST THE
FEET, IS PULVERIZED.
00:42:30.76\00:42:34.90
AND LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS,
"IT'S CRUSHED TOGETHER BECAME
00:42:34.90\00:42:38.76
LIKE THE CHAFF OF THE SUMMER
THRESHING FLOOR AND THE WIND
00:42:38.76\00:42:42.66
CARRIED THEM AWAY.
00:42:42.66\00:42:43.86
NO TRACE OF THEM ARE FOUND, BUT
THE STONE THAT STRUCK THE IMAGE
00:42:43.86\00:42:48.90
BECOMES A GREAT MOUNT
AND FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH."
00:42:48.90\00:42:52.20
THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO SURVIVE
THE STORM OF THE SECOND COMING,
00:42:52.20\00:42:54.86
YOU CAN'T BE CHAFF.
00:42:54.86\00:42:56.26
YOU GOTTA BE ROOTED IN THE ROCK.
00:42:56.26\00:42:59.50
JOB 21:18, "THEY THE WICKED ARE
LIKE THE STRAW BEFORE THE WIND
00:42:59.50\00:43:03.60
AND LIKE THE CHAFF
THAT A STORM CARRIES AWAY."
00:43:03.60\00:43:06.63
THEY'RE JUST
GONNA BE BLOWN AWAY.
00:43:06.63\00:43:09.66
THE WHEAT AND
TARES WILL BE SEPARATED.
00:43:09.66\00:43:12.33
PSALM 1:5, "THEREFORE
THE UNGODLY WILL NOT STAND
00:43:12.33\00:43:16.70
IN THE JUDGMENT NOR
SINNERS IN THE CONGREGATION
00:43:16.70\00:43:19.96
OF THE RIGHTEOUS."
00:43:19.96\00:43:21.96
THEY'LL NOT BE THERE.
00:43:21.96\00:43:24.53
LUKE 21:36 JESUS SAID, "WATCH
THEREFORE AND PRAY ALWAYS THAT
00:43:24.53\00:43:28.23
YOU MIGHT BE COUNTED WORTHY
TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT
00:43:28.23\00:43:31.36
WILL COME TO PASS AND TO
STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN."
00:43:31.36\00:43:36.43
WHO IS GONNA
STAND IN HIS PRESENCE?
00:43:36.43\00:43:38.83
NOT THE SINNERS
'CAUSE THEY DON'T STAND.
00:43:38.83\00:43:43.03
TALKING ABOUT THOSE
THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANSED
00:43:43.03\00:43:44.96
FROM THEIR SINS.
00:43:44.96\00:43:50.50
REVELATION 15:2, "I SAW
SOMETHING LIKE A SEA OF GLASS
00:43:50.50\00:43:55.70
MINGLED WITH FIRE AND THOSE
WHO HAVE GOTTEN THE VICTORY OVER
00:43:55.70\00:43:59.06
THE BEAST AND OVER HIS IMAGE
AND OVER THE MARK AND OVER THE
00:43:59.06\00:44:02.20
NUMBER OF HIS NAME STANDING ON
THE SEA OF GLASS HAVING HARPS."
00:44:02.20\00:44:06.50
THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT
IN VERSE 5 WHERE HE CALLS IT
00:44:06.50\00:44:08.90
THE CONGREGATION
OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
00:44:08.90\00:44:11.30
THERE THEY ARE
STANDING ON THE SEA OF GLASS.
00:44:11.30\00:44:13.46
THEY'VE GOT THE HARPS,
THEY'RE SINGING PRAISES TO GOD.
00:44:13.46\00:44:16.73
YOU WON'T BE IN THAT
CONGREGATION IF YOU'RE WALKING
00:44:16.73\00:44:19.50
IN THE WAYS OF THE
WICKED OR SITTING IN THE SEAT OF
00:44:19.50\00:44:22.16
THE SCORNFUL OR LISTENING
TO THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY.
00:44:22.16\00:44:31.50
AND THEN IN VERSE 6,
FINAL VERSE, "FOR THE LORD KNOWS
00:44:31.50\00:44:36.33
THE WAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS
BUT THE WAY OF THE UNGODLY
00:44:36.33\00:44:40.23
WILL PERISH."
00:44:40.23\00:44:42.96
THAT'S IT.
00:44:42.96\00:44:45.13
TWO WAYS.
00:44:45.13\00:44:47.13
YOU GOT THE TRUE WAY AND
THEN THERE'S THE FALSE WAY.
00:44:47.13\00:44:50.86
THERE'S TWO ROADS IN LIFE.
00:44:50.86\00:44:53.10
JESUS SAID, "ENTER BY THE
NARROW GATE FOR WIDE IS THE
00:44:53.10\00:44:55.83
GATE AND BROAD IS THE WAY THAT
LEADS TO DESTRUCTION AND THERE
00:44:55.83\00:44:59.26
ARE MANY WHO GO IN BY IT.
00:44:59.26\00:45:01.53
NARROW IS THE GATE AND
DIFFICULT IS THE WAY THAT LEADS
00:45:01.53\00:45:03.86
TO LIFE AND THERE
ARE FEW THAT FIND IT."
00:45:03.86\00:45:07.63
ISAIAH 3:10, "SAY TO THE
RIGHTEOUS, IT WILL BE WELL WITH
00:45:07.63\00:45:11.86
THEM FOR THEY'LL EAT
THE FRUIT OF THEIR DOINGS.
00:45:11.86\00:45:14.70
WOE TO THE WICKED,
IT WILL BE ILL FOR HIM.
00:45:14.70\00:45:17.90
FOR THE REWARD OF HIS
HANDS SHALL BE GIVEN TO HIM."
00:45:17.90\00:45:21.33
WE'VE GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE ALL ON THE RIGHT PATH.
00:45:21.33\00:45:23.56
THERE'S ONLY TWO ROADS.
00:45:23.56\00:45:25.03
YOU GOT THE ROAD TO LIFE,
THE ROAD TO DEATH AND SOME MAYBE
00:45:25.03\00:45:27.46
HAVE BEEN IN THE WRONG PATH.
00:45:27.46\00:45:31.00
I REMEMBER READING ABOUT
SOME SETTLERS THAT WERE COMING
00:45:31.00\00:45:33.50
ACROSS THE PLAINS AND SOMEWHERE
I GUESS IN NEVADA THERE WAS
00:45:33.50\00:45:38.10
A PLACE WHERE THIS GREAT
TRAIL SPLIT AND YOU HAD THEN GOT
00:45:38.10\00:45:41.46
THE RIGHT TRAIL.
00:45:41.46\00:45:43.16
YOU END UP TAKING THE TRAIL
THAT GOES UP TO OREGON AND THE
00:45:43.16\00:45:46.46
OTHER ONE ENDED UP GOING
DOWN TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:45:46.46\00:45:49.20
WELL, THIS ONE FAMILY OF
SETTLERS THAT USED TO CROSS
00:45:49.20\00:45:51.20
SEASONALLY 'CAUSE SOME PARTS
OF THE YEAR YOU COULDN'T CROSS,
00:45:51.20\00:45:54.23
THEY HAD A WAGON BREAK DOWN
AND EVERYONE LEFT THEM BEHIND.
00:45:54.23\00:45:58.10
AND WHEN THEY CAME TO THE
FORK IN THE ROAD, THERE WAS THIS
00:45:58.10\00:46:00.90
SPLIT AND THERE'S NO
OTHER PEOPLE WHO KNEW THE WAY
00:46:00.90\00:46:03.60
TO TELL THEM.
00:46:03.60\00:46:04.36
THE WAGON MASTER HAD ALL GONE
ON WITH THE DIFFERENT GROUPS
00:46:04.36\00:46:06.83
THAT SPLIT.
00:46:06.83\00:46:07.70
THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHICH TRAIL TO TAKE.
00:46:07.70\00:46:10.50
AND SO THEY MADE
THEIR BEST GUESS.
00:46:10.50\00:46:12.40
THERE'S NO TOWNS.
00:46:12.40\00:46:13.33
THIS IS THE EARLY DAYS
OF CONQUERING THE WEST.
00:46:13.33\00:46:18.03
THEY WENT 2 WEEKS DOWN THE
WRONG ROAD THROUGH GRUELING
00:46:18.03\00:46:21.80
CONDITIONS AND THEN FOUND OUT
THAT THEY'D GONE THE WRONG WAY.
00:46:21.80\00:46:27.23
I REMEMBER JUST 2 DAYS AGO,
I TOOK A WRONG EXIT AND I HAD
00:46:27.23\00:46:34.80
TO DOUBLE BACK A MILE,
AND YOU KNOW I WAS SO UPSET.
00:46:34.80\00:46:38.60
THOUGHT ABOUT THE
EXTRA GAS I WAS BURNING.
00:46:38.60\00:46:40.50
THOUGHT ABOUT THE WASTED
TIME AND I WAS SO UPSET IT JUST
00:46:40.50\00:46:43.26
ABOUT RUINED MY DAY.
00:46:43.26\00:46:47.46
AND THEN I REMEMBERED THIS
STORY 'CAUSE THE REASON I'M
00:46:47.46\00:46:49.10
TELLING YOU THIS IS I READ
THE DIARY OF THE MOTHER WHO
00:46:49.10\00:46:53.40
DESCRIBED THE DISCOURAGEMENT
AND THE GRIEF OF FINDING OUT
00:46:53.40\00:46:58.10
THEY NOW HAD TO PLOD, THEY
HAD TO TURN AROUND AND PLOD BACK
00:46:58.10\00:47:03.50
2 WEEKS TO WHERE THEY HAD MISSED
THE RIGHT FORK IN THE ROAD.
00:47:03.50\00:47:07.03
AND I THOUGHT, I
DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
00:47:07.03\00:47:09.70
IT'S VERY MOVING AND TOUCHING
TO THINK ABOUT THE HARDSHIP
00:47:09.70\00:47:13.06
THEY WENT THROUGH 'CAUSE THEY
JUST MISSED THEIR TURN AND ALL
00:47:13.06\00:47:16.66
THE EXPENSES AND THE STARVING
CHILDREN 'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET
00:47:16.66\00:47:19.13
TO THE NEXT TOWN IN TIME
AND JUST MAKING THAT WRONG TURN.
00:47:19.13\00:47:24.33
YOU KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WASTE
SO MANY YEARS ON THE WRONG ROAD
00:47:24.33\00:47:28.46
AND THEY MISS OUT ON LIFE.
00:47:28.46\00:47:32.23
I HEARD ABOUT AN INDIAN MAN WHO
WAS SITTING BY A RIVER ONE DAY
00:47:32.23\00:47:35.20
AND HE SAW THERE WAS A
STONE THERE IN THE RIVER.
00:47:35.20\00:47:37.73
AND HE PICKED IT UP AND IT
WAS A FAIR SIZE STONE AND HE
00:47:37.73\00:47:39.70
THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT.
00:47:39.70\00:47:41.90
HE SAID, "THIS STONE'S
BEEN IN THE RIVER FOR HUNDREDS
00:47:41.90\00:47:43.46
OF YEARS, MAYBE CENTURIES,
MAYBE THOUSANDS OF YEARS."
00:47:43.46\00:47:46.53
AND HE CRACKED THE STONE, RIGHT
AFTER HE PULLED IT OUT OF THE
00:47:46.53\00:47:48.73
RIVER, HE CRACKED IT IN HALF
AND IT WAS DRY ON THE INSIDE.
00:47:48.73\00:47:52.16
AND HE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF,
YOU KNOW THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
00:47:52.16\00:47:55.43
WITH PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
THAT DON'T KNOW THE LORD.
00:47:55.43\00:47:58.30
THEY'RE SURROUNDED
BY EVIDENCE OF GOD.
00:47:58.30\00:47:59.90
THEY'RE
SURROUNDED BY OPPORTUNITIES.
00:47:59.90\00:48:01.56
THEY'RE SURROUNDED BY
MAYBE CHRISTIANS, BUT THEY'RE
00:48:01.56\00:48:04.33
UNTOUCHED BY IT.
00:48:04.33\00:48:06.30
THERE ARE EVEN SOME
PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH LIKE THAT,
00:48:06.30\00:48:09.06
SURROUNDED BY CHRISTIAN PEOPLE,
SURROUNDED BY THE WORD OF GOD,
00:48:09.06\00:48:11.93
SURROUNDED BY RELIGIOUS
INFLUENCE AND THEY'RE DRY
00:48:11.93\00:48:14.06
ON THE INSIDE.
00:48:14.06\00:48:16.60
THEY'RE STILL NOT
PLANTED BY THE WATERS.
00:48:16.60\00:48:18.40
YOU CAN BE IN THE WATER
AND THE WATER NOT BE IN YOU.
00:48:18.40\00:48:23.36
AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT THERE'S
A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT
00:48:23.36\00:48:27.20
AND THERE'S SOME
CHURCHES LIKE THAT.
00:48:27.20\00:48:29.76
I WAS TELLING NATHAN A
STORY I HEARD, ACTUALLY I HEARD
00:48:29.76\00:48:32.26
DAVID JEREMIAH SHARE THIS
ILLUSTRATION OF THIS ORGAN
00:48:32.26\00:48:36.96
GRINDER HAD A MONKEY.
00:48:36.96\00:48:40.23
IN NEW YORK CITY IN THE
COLD, BITTER COLD WINTER AND THE
00:48:40.23\00:48:43.83
MONKEY GOT SEPARATED FROM
HIS MASTER, BROKE HIS CHAIN,
00:48:43.83\00:48:46.80
RAN OFF AND THEN GOT LOST.
00:48:46.80\00:48:48.80
AND THE POOR, SHIVERING MONKEY
RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE STREETS
00:48:48.80\00:48:50.96
EVENTUALLY FOUND A HOME AND HE
LOOKED IN THE WINDOW AND HE SAW
00:48:50.96\00:48:54.26
A FIRE BURNING IN THE HOUSE
AND SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW HE HAD
00:48:54.26\00:48:59.26
TO GET BY THE FIRE.
00:48:59.26\00:49:00.66
HIS ORGAN MASTER HAD HAD A FIRE
AND HE KNEW WHAT THEY LOOKED
00:49:00.66\00:49:03.43
LIKE AND SO HE SCRAMBLED AROUND
THE HOUSE AND EVENTUALLY FOUND
00:49:03.43\00:49:06.10
A WAY IN.
00:49:06.10\00:49:08.43
WENT UP BEFORE THE FIRE
AND HELD UP HIS LITTLE PAWS AND
00:49:08.43\00:49:11.23
FROZE TO DEATH BECAUSE IT
WAS JUST A PAINTING OF A FIRE.
00:49:11.23\00:49:19.63
AND YOU WONDER HOW MANY
CHURCHES THERE ARE LIKE THAT,
00:49:19.63\00:49:21.90
THEY JUST GOT THE
PAINTING OF A FIRE.
00:49:21.90\00:49:25.70
IT'S NOT A REAL FIRE.
00:49:25.70\00:49:29.16
DO YOU HAVE REAL LIFE
GOING IN THROUGH YOUR ROOTS?
00:49:29.16\00:49:32.30
ARE YOU TAKING IN REAL
NOURISHMENT AND MINERALS
00:49:32.30\00:49:33.96
FROM CHRIST AND HIS WORD?
00:49:33.96\00:49:35.50
ARE YOU MEDITATING ON HIS
WORD SO THAT IT KEEPS YOU OUT
00:49:35.50\00:49:38.66
OF THE DEADLY WAY?
00:49:38.66\00:49:42.63
ONE MORE TIME
LET'S LOOK AT THAT.
00:49:42.63\00:49:45.00
BLESSED IS THE MAN.
00:49:45.00\00:49:46.23
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO
BE THAT MAN AND THAT WOMAN?
00:49:46.23\00:49:49.20
"WHO WALKS NOT IN THE COUNSEL
OF THE UNGODLY NOR SITS IN THE
00:49:49.20\00:49:53.80
PATH OF SINNERS--NOR STANDS
IN THE PATH OF SINNERS NOR SITS
00:49:53.80\00:49:59.30
IN THE SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL.
00:49:59.30\00:50:01.63
BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW
OF THE LORD AND IN HIS LAW HE
00:50:01.63\00:50:05.60
MEDITATES DAY AND NIGHT."
00:50:05.60\00:50:08.06
THAT'S WHERE IT
COMES FROM, FRIENDS.
00:50:08.06\00:50:10.40
YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, "I WANT
TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT
00:50:10.40\00:50:12.56
IS BLESSED, BUT I'M A SINNER.
00:50:12.56\00:50:15.70
DOES THAT MEAN I'M
JUST DOOMED TO BE CHAFF?"
00:50:15.70\00:50:18.46
YOU KNOW KING DAVID ALSO WROTE
IN PSALM 32:1, "BLESSED IS HE
00:50:18.46\00:50:24.66
WHOSE SIN, WHOSE TRANSGRESSION
IS FORGIVEN, WHOSE SIN IS
00:50:24.66\00:50:29.33
COVERED."
00:50:29.33\00:50:30.73
EVERYBODY HERE CAN BE
BLESSED STARTING TODAY.
00:50:30.73\00:50:33.46
YOU CAN COME AND SAY, "LORD,
I'VE BEEN LIKE THE WICKED.
00:50:33.46\00:50:37.40
I'VE BEEN WALKING AND SITTING
AND STANDING IN THE WRONG
00:50:37.40\00:50:39.66
PLACE.
00:50:39.66\00:50:41.63
IT'S NOT IN MY HEART.
00:50:41.63\00:50:42.83
I'M NOT BRINGING FORTH
THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, LOVE
00:50:42.83\00:50:45.16
AND JOY AND PEACE, AND
I WANT THAT IN MY LIFE.
00:50:45.16\00:50:48.66
I'M GONNA START OUT BY SAYING
I WANT TO BE BLESSED BY ASKING
00:50:48.66\00:50:51.23
YOU TO FORGIVE MY SINS.
00:50:51.23\00:50:53.06
HELP ME TO BE LIKE A TREE
PLANTED BY RIVERS OF WATER."
00:50:53.06\00:50:56.23
YOU KNOW ALL WEEK LONG, HOW
MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT CHORUS,
00:50:56.23\00:51:02.40
"LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE
WATERS I SHALL NOT BE MOVED"?
00:51:02.40\00:51:08.96
NOW I GOTTA START FROM THE
BEGINNING, I JUST REMEMBERED
00:51:08.96\00:51:10.70
THE END.
00:51:10.70\00:51:11.56
"I SHALL NOT BE, I
SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
00:51:11.56\00:51:15.20
I SHALL NOT BE, I
SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
00:51:15.20\00:51:18.90
LIKE A TREE
PLANTED BY THE WATERS,
00:51:18.90\00:51:22.50
I SHALL NOT BE MOVED."
00:51:22.50\00:51:26.16
NOW THAT'S GONNA BE IN
YOUR HEAD ALL WEEK LONG.
00:51:26.16\00:51:30.43
THAT'S NOT OUR CLOSING
SONG BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN OUR
00:51:30.43\00:51:31.96
HYMN BOOK.
00:51:31.96\00:51:33.46
BUT I WANT TO BE
LIKE THAT, DON'T YOU?
00:51:33.46\00:51:36.30
YEAH, IT SHOULD
BE IN OUR HYMN BOOK.
00:51:36.30\00:51:38.33
LET'S STAND UP TOGETHER AND
SING 554 'CAUSE WE WANT TO WALK
00:51:38.33\00:51:41.96
WITH THE LORD IN HIS PATH AND
IT'S "O LET ME WALK WITH THEE."
00:51:41.96\00:51:47.33

PATH, THE WRONG
STANDING THE WRONG SITTING,
00:52:51.03\00:52:54.83
WE'RE NOT WALKING ALONE.
00:52:54.83\00:52:56.96
WHEN WE CHOOSE TO MEDITATE
ON THE WORD OF THE LORD, THAT'S
00:52:56.96\00:53:00.43
REALLY ALL ABOUT
WALKING WITH GOD.
00:53:00.43\00:53:02.90
AND MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN MISSING
THE BLESSINGS GOD WANTS YOU
00:53:02.90\00:53:05.53
TO HAVE.
00:53:05.53\00:53:06.36
YOU WANT TO
PROSPER, YOU WANT TO BE WITH
00:53:06.36\00:53:08.23
THE RIGHTEOUS AND
NOT WITH THE WICKED.
00:53:08.23\00:53:10.60
TWO DESTINIES,
BLESSED OR PERISH.
00:53:10.60\00:53:13.56
FIRST WORD IN THE PSALM,
THE LAST WORD IN THE PSALM.
00:53:13.56\00:53:16.93
YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU
WANT BUT IT COMES FROM THAT
00:53:16.93\00:53:20.30
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
00:53:20.30\00:53:22.20
BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE
TRANSGRESSION IS FORGIVEN.
00:53:22.20\00:53:24.96
MAYBE YOU FEEL LIKE THAT
YOU'VE SUFFERED FROM THE FAMINE.
00:53:24.96\00:53:28.96
YOUR LEAF IS WITHERED, YOU
DON'T HAVE THAT LIFE BUT YOU
00:53:28.96\00:53:31.63
WANT IT NOW.
00:53:31.63\00:53:32.93
YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY AND LIVE
OUT WARMING YOURSELF BEFORE THE
00:53:32.93\00:53:36.03
PAINTING OF A FIRE.
00:53:36.03\00:53:38.63
YOU WANT TO HAVE THE REAL THING.
00:53:38.63\00:53:40.53
IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL PRAYER
AND YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT
00:53:40.53\00:53:42.66

00:53:45.76\00:53:47.76
[MUSIC]
00:53:47.76\00:53:50.76
>> HOW MANY THIS MORNING
WOULD LIKE TO SAY LORD, BY YOUR
00:55:28.36\00:55:31.40
GRACE, I WANT TO BE LIKE
THAT TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS?
00:55:31.40\00:55:36.30
I WANT TO BE THAT BLESSED MAN,
THAT BLESSED WOMAN AND BY YOUR
00:55:36.30\00:55:39.70
GRACE, I WANT TO MEDITATE
AND DELIGHT IN YOUR WORD
00:55:39.70\00:55:43.26
AND IN YOUR LAW THAT IT'LL
BE THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE OF
00:55:43.26\00:55:45.93
MY LIFE.
00:55:45.93\00:55:47.40
LET'S PRAY TOGETHER AND ASK HIM.
00:55:47.40\00:55:51.13
FATHER IN HEAVEN, LORD, WE
READ THE STORY OF HOW DAVID JUST
00:55:51.13\00:55:57.63
REJOICED AND DELIGHTED.
00:55:57.63\00:56:00.46
HE SANG AND SHOUTED AS HE
BROUGHT THE LAW UP TO HIS HOME.
00:56:00.46\00:56:05.60
I PRAY THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT
KIND OF HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER
00:56:05.60\00:56:08.23
RIGHTEOUSNESS, LORD, THAT WE'LL
YEARN TO HAVE YOU THE LIVING
00:56:08.23\00:56:11.66
WORD IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.
00:56:11.66\00:56:14.70
LORD, ALSO THAT WE CAN REALLY
EXPERIENCE THAT PRAYER THAT YOU
00:56:14.70\00:56:22.26
LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION.
00:56:22.26\00:56:25.13
HELP US, LORD, TO AVOID
OUR NATURAL BENT, TO WALK IN
00:56:25.13\00:56:31.83
THE PATH OF THE UNGODLY,
TO STAND IN THE WRONG PLACE,
00:56:31.83\00:56:37.40
TO SIT IN THE
SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL.
00:56:37.40\00:56:40.26
LORD, WE PRAY THAT YOU'LL GIVE
US VICTORY THROUGH THIS WORD OF
00:56:40.26\00:56:45.10
TRUTH THAT FILLS US.
00:56:45.10\00:56:47.16
WE WANT TO BE FOUND AMONG
THE RIGHTEOUS WHEN JESUS COMES.
00:56:47.16\00:56:50.30
WE DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THE
CHAFF THAT WILL BE BLOWN AWAY
00:56:50.30\00:56:52.66
AND CONSUMED BY FIRE.
00:56:52.66\00:56:54.83
WE SEE IN THIS PSALM
THE TWO ULTIMATE DESTINIES,
00:56:54.83\00:56:57.70
LORD.
00:56:57.70\00:56:58.63
WE WANT THE BLESSING, WE WANT
TO AVOID THE PERISHING AND WE
00:56:58.63\00:57:02.13
KNOW THAT JESUS
IS THE ONLY ANSWER.
00:57:02.13\00:57:04.43
SO BE WITH US, LORD, THAT WE
MIGHT BE THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:57:04.43\00:57:06.90
CHRISTIANS IN OUR LIVES,
IN OUR WORDS AND IN OUR DEEDS,
00:57:06.90\00:57:10.60
THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE FRUIT
ABOVE GROUND BUT IT'S THE ROOT
00:57:10.60\00:57:13.70
DOWN BY THE RIVERS.
00:57:13.70\00:57:16.43
WE THANK YOU, LORD, WE'RE
ASKING THIS AND PRAYING AND
00:57:16.43\00:57:19.00
