00:06:48.84\00:06:52.71
I REMEMBER WHEN HE SHOWED UP AT
A CAMP MEETING AND SAID I WANT
00:06:52.71\00:06:55.48
TO PREACH. AND HE
AND HIS BROTHER BOTH,
00:06:55.48\00:06:59.05
THEY BOTH BECAME
AMAZING FACTS EVANGELISTS.
00:06:59.05\00:07:02.62
HE'S NOT ONLY
GOT A GIFT FOR MUSIC.
00:07:02.62\00:07:05.09
YOU KNOW, I TAUGHT HIM
EVERYTHING HE KNOWS ABOUT
00:07:05.09\00:07:07.79
SINGING. [LAUGHTER]
00:07:07.79\00:07:10.83
>> AND -- SOMEHOW
YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
00:07:10.83\00:07:14.36
BUT ANYWAY, IT'S GOOD TO SAY --
SEE THE WAY THE LORD IS BLESSING
00:07:14.36\00:07:19.70
THEIR GIFTS AND USING

THAT -- I TALKED ABOUT
SALVATION, THE MEANING OF THE
00:07:45.63\00:07:48.76
SANCTUARY. WHAT THE
SANCTUARY SAYS ABOUT
00:07:48.76\00:07:51.93
SALVATION AND PROPHECY AND YOUR

00:07:51.93\00:08:04.08
-- AN AMAZING MAGAZINE.
MEET US AT THE TABLE OR SOMETIME
00:08:04.08\00:08:09.48
TOMORROW. WE'RE
JUST VERY THANKFUL TO BE
00:08:09.48\00:08:10.99
WITH YOU. IT'S BEEN
FUN TO VISIT AND HAVE
00:08:10.99\00:08:13.72
A WONDERFUL SPIRIT
HERE AT THE CAMP MEETING.
00:08:13.72\00:08:16.69
TALKING ABOUT HOW TO
LIVE ABOVE THE CROWD.
00:08:16.69\00:08:19.13
LAST NIGHT WE SHARED A LITTLE
BIT FROM THE STORY PLAYING IN
00:08:19.13\00:08:22.46
THE TREE OF LIFE. AND
THE WAY THAT YOU GET TALLER,
00:08:22.46\00:08:28.27
WE'RE ALL
STUNTED BECAUSE OF SIN.
00:08:28.27\00:08:32.14
I'D ASK TINA TODAY, I SAID YOU
WEREN'T OFFENDED AT ALL, WERE
00:08:32.14\00:08:35.08
YOU. TINA, YOU WANT TO TO LEAVE?
00:08:35.08\00:08:41.42
WE'VE KNOWN TINA FOR
YEARS. WE'RE ALL STUNTED BY SIN.
00:08:41.42\00:08:45.52
AND WE GET TALLER BY CLIMBING
THE TREE OF LIFE, WHICH IS THE
00:08:45.52\00:08:49.99
CROSS. TAKING UP OUR CROSS AND
00:08:49.99\00:08:51.73
FOLLOWING JESUS. AMEN?
00:08:51.73\00:08:55.60
TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT PERSISTING FOR HIS
00:08:55.60\00:08:59.03
PRESENCE. AND AS I
ALWAYS DO, I LIKE TO
00:08:59.03\00:09:01.27
TAKE A STORY IN THE
BIBLE AND HELP ELABORATE.
00:09:01.27\00:09:06.04
SO IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES,
PLEASE TURN WITH ME TO THE
00:09:06.04\00:09:10.31
SECOND CHAPTER OF MARK. MARK 2.
00:09:10.31\00:09:14.12
AND THE STORY CAN ALSO BE
FOUND IN LUKE AND IN MATTHEW.
00:09:14.12\00:09:18.89
IT'S AN AMAZING, THAT'S GOING TO
BE SUMMER RISESSED THIS ABOUT 12
00:09:18.89\00:09:22.92
VERSUS. --
SUMMARIZED IN ABOUT 12
00:09:22.92\00:09:26.76
VERSES. AND AGAIN, HE ENTERED CA
00:09:26.76\00:09:30.77
PERSONIUM, AND AFTER SOME DAYS
IT WAS HEARD THAT HE WAS IN THE
00:09:30.77\00:09:35.47
HOUSE. AND
IMMEDIATELY, MANY GATHERED
00:09:35.47\00:09:38.14
TOGETHER SO THAT THERE WAS NO
LONGER ROOM TO RECEIVE THEM, NOT
00:09:38.14\00:09:41.61
EVEN NEAR THE DOOR.
AND HE PREACHED THE WORD TO
00:09:41.61\00:09:45.25
THEM. AND THEN THEY CAME TO HIM
00:09:45.25\00:09:47.18
BRINGING A PARALYTIC
WHO WAS CARRIED BY FOUR.
00:09:47.18\00:09:50.49
AND WHEN THEY COULD NOT COME
NEAR HIM BECAUSE OF THE CROWD,
00:09:50.49\00:09:53.15
THEY UNCOVERED THE ROOF HER HE
WAS -- WHERE HE WAS SO WHEN THEY
00:09:53.15\00:09:57.29
HAD BROKEN THROUGH, THEY
LET THEM A BED ON WHICH THE
00:09:57.29\00:10:01.03
PARALYTIC WAS LYING.
WHEN JESUS SAW THEIR FAITH, HE
00:10:01.03\00:10:03.93
SAID TO THE PARALYTIC,
SON, YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN YOU.
00:10:03.93\00:10:09.17
AND SOME OF THE SCRIBES WERE
SITTING THERE AND WERE REASONING
00:10:09.17\00:10:11.87
IN THEIR HEARTS, WHY DOES THIS
MAN SPEAK BLASPHEMY LIKE THIS?
00:10:11.87\00:10:18.25
WHO CAN FORGIVE
SINS BUT GOD ALONE?
00:10:18.25\00:10:20.52
AND IMMEDIATELY WHEN JESUS
PERCEIVED IN THE SPIRIT THAT
00:10:20.52\00:10:23.55
THEY REASONED THUS WITHIN
THEMSELVES, HE SAID TO THEM, WHY
00:10:23.55\00:10:26.29
DO YOU REASON ABOUT
THESE THINGS IN YOUR HEART?
00:10:26.29\00:10:29.02
WHICH IS EASIER, TO SAY TO
THE PARALITTIC, YOUR SINS ARE
00:10:29.02\00:10:33.06
FORGIVEN OR TO SAY ARISE
AND TAKE UP YOUR BED AND WALK?
00:10:33.06\00:10:37.13
BUT THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT THE
SON OF MAN HAS POWER ON EARTH TO
00:10:37.13\00:10:42.27
FORGIVE SINS, HE SAID TO
THE PEAR LITTIC, I SAY TO YOU --
00:10:42.27\00:10:47.68
PARALYTIC, I SAY ARISE, TAKE UP
YOUR BED AND GO TO YOUR HOUSE.
00:10:47.68\00:10:50.75
AND IMMEDIATELY HE AROSE, HE
TOOK UP THE BET, AND HE WENT OUT
00:10:50.75\00:10:54.95
IN THE PRESENCE OF THEM
ALL, SO THEY WERE ALL AMAZED.
00:10:54.95\00:10:58.15
AND THEY GLORIFIED GOD SAYING,
WE NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
00:10:58.15\00:11:02.79
NOW, THERE IS AN A AMAZING
FACT. -- AN AMAZING FACT.
00:11:02.79\00:11:08.36
THE DISCIPLES WERE
IMPRESSED BY THIS STORY.
00:11:08.36\00:11:11.23
THE GOSPELS ALL REFER TO IT.
IT'S SOMETHING THEY COULD NOT
00:11:11.23\00:11:15.24
FORGET. FIRST
POINT, JUST GIVE YOU THE
00:11:15.24\00:11:17.47
BACKGROUND, JESUS
DID MOST OF HIS MINISTRY.
00:11:17.47\00:11:19.24
HE WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM,
GREW UP IN NAZARETH, BUT HE
00:11:19.24\00:11:23.45
MINISTERED AROUND
THE SEA OF GALILEE.
00:11:23.45\00:11:27.25
AND HE WOULD HANG OUT FREBTLY AT
THE HOUSE -- FREQUENTLY AT THE
00:11:27.25\00:11:30.12
HOUSE OF SIMON PETER.
JESUS DID NOT HAVE HIS OWN
00:11:30.12\00:11:33.09
HOUSE. A CERTAIN
SCRIBE WE BELIEVE WAS
00:11:33.09\00:11:36.42
JUDAS, ONCE SAID LORD,
I'LL FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
00:11:36.42\00:11:40.33
HE SAID FOXES HAVE THEIR HOLES,
THE BIRDS HAVE NEST, BUT THE SON
00:11:40.33\00:11:45.23
OF MAN DOES NOT
HAVE HIS OWN BED.
00:11:45.23\00:11:47.37
THE ONLY PERSONAL PROPERTY OF
CHRIST THAT'S MENTIONED IN THE
00:11:47.37\00:11:50.07
BIBLE IS HIS CLOTHES THAT THANK
YOU TOOK AWAY AT THE CRUCIFIXION
00:11:50.07\00:11:53.88
AND THEY CAMPBELLED FOR THEM.
SO HE HAD -- GAMBLED FOR THEM.
00:11:53.88\00:11:59.48
SO HE'D GO STAY WITH
LAZUS AND -- LAZARUS.
00:11:59.48\00:12:07.19
HE CAME TO THE HOUSE
AFTER A PREACHING TOUR.
00:12:07.19\00:12:10.23
PETER'S MOTHER
WAS SICK WITH A FEVER.
00:12:10.23\00:12:12.53
AND HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
AND JESUS HEALED HER.
00:12:12.53\00:12:15.93
AND SHE GOT UP THEN AND
BEGAN TO CONTINUE SERVING.
00:12:15.93\00:12:20.30
SO HERE AFTER HE'S GONE THROUGH
ANOTHER ONE OF HIS PREACHING
00:12:20.30\00:12:23.07
TOURS AROUND THE COAST OF
GALILEE THIS THE CITIES THERE,
00:12:23.07\00:12:27.01
SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY JESUS
COULD ESCAPE THE CROWD WAS TO
00:12:27.01\00:12:31.18
TELL THE DISCIPLES I
NEED TO BORROW YOUR BOAT.
00:12:31.18\00:12:33.85
ONCE HE SAID TAKE YOUR BOAT
AND PUSH IT OUT SO I CAN PREACH
00:12:33.85\00:12:36.48
BECAUSE THEY WERE
PUSHING THEM OFF INTO THE WATER.
00:12:36.48\00:12:39.45
ANOTHER TIME, HE
SENT THE CROWD AWAY.
00:12:39.45\00:12:41.52
THEY'RE READY TO MAKE HIM KING.
AND HE HAD TO ACTUALLY WALK ON
00:12:41.52\00:12:45.23
WATER TO GET
AWAY FROM THE CROWD.
00:12:45.23\00:12:48.66
FREQUENTLY WHEN JESUS HEALED
SOMEONE, HE DID ONE OF THESE
00:12:48.66\00:12:52.10
ATOWNING MIRACLES WHERE HE
WOULD -- ASTOUNDING MIRACLES
00:12:52.10\00:12:55.60
WHERE THEY WOULD HEAL
A MAN FULL OF LEP PROSY.
00:12:55.60\00:13:00.84
AND HE SAID WOULD
SAY DON'T TELL ANYBODY.
00:13:00.84\00:13:03.14
IT'S NOT THAT HE DIDN'T
WANT THEM TO GLORIFY GOD.
00:13:03.14\00:13:05.38
HE JUST KNEW THAT HIS PRINCIPAL
WORK WAS PREACHING THE WORD.
00:13:05.38\00:13:10.55
THE PHYSICAL
HEALING WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:13:10.55\00:13:13.12
BUT IT IS SECONDARY AS OUR
STORY IS GOING TO BRING OUT.
00:13:13.12\00:13:18.63
AND IF HIS HEALING CREATED
SO MUCH COMMOTION AND SO MUCH
00:13:18.63\00:13:23.26
OPPOSITION FROM HIS ENEMIES,
THAT HE COULDN'T COULDN'T WITH
00:13:23.26\00:13:25.90
HIS PREACHING -- HE COULDN'T
CONTINUE WITH HIS PREACHING, HE
00:13:25.90\00:13:29.27
DIDN'T WANT
THEM TO ADVERTISE IT.
00:13:29.27\00:13:30.74
HOW DO YOU KEEP IT TO YOURSELF?
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A MIRACLE
00:13:30.74\00:13:33.11
LIKE THIS, AS SOON AS HE TOLD
THEM, DON'T TELL ANYBODY, THEY
00:13:33.11\00:13:36.01
WENT AND TOLD EVERYBODY.
MAYBE THAT'S THE KEY FOR GETTING
00:13:36.01\00:13:42.08
THEM TO DO EVANGELISM.
DON'T TELL ANYBODY, BUT DID YOU
00:13:42.08\00:13:47.32
KNOW -- [LAUGHTER]
00:13:47.32\00:13:52.03
>> BUT THEN
THEY'LL TELL EVERYBODY.
00:13:52.03\00:13:54.76
SO SAYS AGAIN, HE ENTERED AND
AFTER SOME DAYS THEY HEARD THE
00:13:54.76\00:13:59.13
CROWD, THAT HE WAS IN THE
HOUSE, HOUSE OF SIMON PETER.
00:13:59.13\00:14:02.70
AND IMMEDIATELY
MANY GATHERED TOGETHER.
00:14:02.70\00:14:06.68
SO THERE WAS NO
LONGER ROOM TO RECEIVE THEM.
00:14:06.68\00:14:10.45
NO, NOT EVEN NEAR THE DOOR.
AND HE PREACHED THE WORD TO
00:14:10.45\00:14:16.45
THEM. NOW, DID
JESUS PREACH THE WORD
00:14:16.45\00:14:21.79
BECAUSE MANY WERE GATHERED
OR WERE MANY GATHERED BECAUSE HE
00:14:21.79\00:14:24.89
PREACHED THE
WORD? OR MAYBE BOTH.
00:14:24.89\00:14:27.50
NOW, I KIND OF KNOW HOW JESUS
FELT THAT WHEN THERE WERE MANY
00:14:27.50\00:14:31.87
GATHERED, YOU'D
WANT TO PREACH THE WORD.
00:14:31.87\00:14:33.90
YOU KNOW THE APOSTLE PAUL.
THEY WOULD LIKE ARREST HIM AND
00:14:33.90\00:14:38.37
AS HE'S BEING DRUG UP THE STEPS,
HE TOLD THE GUARD, CAN I TALK TO
00:14:38.37\00:14:42.11
THE CROWD. THEY
JUST GOT DONE TRYING TO
00:14:42.11\00:14:45.28
TEAR HIM LIMB FROM LIMB BUT HE
HE SAID, LET'S NOT WASTE A GOOD
00:14:45.28\00:14:50.15
CROWD. LET ME PREACH TO THEM.
00:14:50.15\00:14:52.25
[LAUGHTER] >> ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:14:52.25\00:14:53.32
WHEN YOU'RE AN EVANGELIST,
YOU JUST WANT TO PREACH.
00:14:53.32\00:14:56.66
IT'S ALL I CAN DO TO RESTRAIN
MYSELF WHEN EAR ON THE AIRPLANE
00:14:56.66\00:15:01.26
AND THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT HAS
THE MICROPHONE, AND I SAY, WHEN
00:15:01.26\00:15:03.90
YOU'RE DONE, CAN
I SAY A FEW WORDS.
00:15:03.90\00:15:08.00
I WANT TO SAY
SOMETHING. [LAUGHTER]
00:15:08.00\00:15:10.44
>> YEAH, I HOPE IT'S BECAUSE
I WANTED TO GLORIFY THE LORD AND
00:15:10.44\00:15:14.21
TO BRING PEOPLE TO JESUS.
BUT THE LORD KNOWS MY HEART.
00:15:14.21\00:15:17.65
I'M JEALOUS SOMETIMES. I
SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE COME OUT,
00:15:17.65\00:15:23.02
40,000, TO WATCH A
BASEBALL OR FOOTBALL GAME.
00:15:23.02\00:15:25.22
AND I WISH THEY'D LET
ME DO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
00:15:25.22\00:15:27.32
AND SAY A FEW WORDS.-[LAUGHTER]
>> I JUST -- YEAH.
00:15:27.32\00:15:33.56
I WANT TO PREACH. WHI
SEE A CROWD -- WHEN I SEE A
00:15:33.56\00:15:38.27
CROWD. AND THE
FUNNY THING I ONCE LIVED
00:15:38.27\00:15:39.80
IN A CAVE BECAUSE I COULDN'T
STAND TO BE AROUND PEOPLE.
00:15:39.80\00:15:42.17
THE LORD REALLY
CHANGES YOU, DOESN'T HE?
00:15:42.17\00:15:48.28
SO -- AND I THINK THERE WAS
A CROWD BECAUSE HE PREACHED THE
00:15:48.28\00:15:54.68
WORD. WHEN WE FIRST WENT TO
00:15:54.68\00:15:57.52
SACRAMENTO, 25 YEARS AGO, KAREN
AND I CAME FROM A CHURCH WHERE
00:15:57.52\00:16:00.06
WE HAD 100 MEMBERS. A
LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH.
00:16:00.06\00:16:02.52
A GREAT DEAL. LOVELY PEOPLE.
00:16:02.52\00:16:07.13
AND DON TALKED ABOUT GOING AND
PASTORING THE CENTRAL SEARCH IN
00:16:07.13\00:16:10.53
THE CAPITAL OF CALIFORNIA. I
THOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN
00:16:10.53\00:16:13.64
DO THAT. AND
HERE IT WAS A VERY BIG
00:16:13.64\00:16:17.41
CHURCH WHERE KAREN GREW UP.
SHE WAS BAPTIZED THERE AND WE
00:16:17.41\00:16:22.04
WERE MARRIED THERE.
BEFORE SHE WAS BAPTIZED.
00:16:22.04\00:16:25.45
NO. AFTER YOU'RE BAPTIZED.
00:16:25.45\00:16:26.68
GET THAT RIGHT. AND
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES
00:16:26.68\00:16:32.05
THESE BIG CITY CHURCHES AS THE
CITY SPRAWL GROWS AROUND THEM
00:16:32.05\00:16:36.46
AND ALL THE FAMILIES MOVE TO
THE OUTSKIRTS, THE FAMILIES STOP
00:16:36.46\00:16:40.80
ATTENDING,
ATTENDANCE STARTED TO DROP.
00:16:40.80\00:16:43.20
AND I TOLD THE PRESIDENT, I
SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE GOT
00:16:43.20\00:16:46.23
THE EXPERIENCE TO
HANDLE A CHURCH LIKE THIS.
00:16:46.23\00:16:49.50
AND I -- PEOPLE SAID, HE
HAS NO PASTORAL TRAINING.
00:16:49.50\00:16:53.74
WHAT ARE YOU PUTTING HIM IN A
CHURCH LIKE THAT WITH ALL THESE
00:16:53.74\00:16:57.58
PROFESSIONALS. AND
KAHN SAID THEY -- DON SAID
00:16:57.58\00:16:59.51
THEY DON'T NEED A
PASTOR, THEY NEED AN EVANGELIST.
00:16:59.51\00:17:02.38
I WAS AN EVANGELIST IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS THE
00:17:02.38\00:17:06.55
CHURCH. I TALKED TO
THE YOUTH PASTOR AND
00:17:06.55\00:17:08.62
SAID, DOUG, LET ME
GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE.
00:17:08.62\00:17:12.13
A YOUTH PASTOR
WAS OLDER THAN ME.
00:17:12.13\00:17:14.20
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE.
HE SAID I'VE BEEN HERE PASTOR.
00:17:14.20\00:17:16.46
HE'D PEN THERE 16 YEARS. HE
SAID I THINK PASTORS COME AND
00:17:16.46\00:17:20.44
GO AND THEY HAVE ALL
THESE PROGRAMS AND SEMINARS AND
00:17:20.44\00:17:22.90
MACHINES AND METHODS AND CAP
PAGES, TO RAISE -- CAMPAIGNS TO
00:17:22.90\00:17:26.24
RAISE MONEY. HE SAID
IN A CITY THIS SIZE, IF
00:17:26.24\00:17:28.81
YOU JUST PREACH THE
WORD, THEY WILL COME.
00:17:28.81\00:17:31.55
AND SO I KIND OF TOOK THAT.
I SAID THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO
00:17:31.55\00:17:35.52
DO. I'M GOING TO
OPEN THE BIBLE AND
00:17:35.52\00:17:37.19
I'M GOING TO PREACH THE WORKED
AND YOU KNOW, THE LORD BLESSED.
00:17:37.19\00:17:39.95
IT WENT FROM LIKE
120 TO 300, 400, 500.
00:17:39.95\00:17:43.86
IT JUST KEPT GROWING. AND
FINALLY WE REALIZED WHEN WE
00:17:43.86\00:17:47.86
GOT TO OVER A THOUSAND, WE SAID,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAN
00:17:47.86\00:17:51.80
ANOTHER CHURCH, WHICH IS
HOW WE ENDED UP AT GRANITE BAY.
00:17:51.80\00:17:55.60
IT'S A PLANT OF SACRAMENTO
CENTRAL AND ULTIMATELY, YOU
00:17:55.60\00:17:58.27
KNOW, THE PLAN WAS I WOULD MOVE
OUT TO GRANITE BAY, PASTOR CHRIS
00:17:58.27\00:18:04.21
IS THE SENIOR PASTOR.
BUT THE IDEA IS TO PREACH THE
00:18:04.21\00:18:07.08
WORD. THE WORLD
IS HUNGRY FOR THE
00:18:07.08\00:18:10.29
WORD. AND
EVERYONE IS WONDERING, WHAT
00:18:10.29\00:18:12.02
THE SECRET FORMULA IS TO DO
ESLANGISM IN -- EVANGELISM IN
00:18:12.02\00:18:16.59
THESE LAST DAYS.
IT HAS NEVER CHANGED.
00:18:16.59\00:18:19.56
JESUS WANTS US
TO PREACH THE WORD.
00:18:19.56\00:18:21.93
THERE'S POWER THIS THE WORD.
THE PROCLAMATION OF THE LORD,
00:18:21.93\00:18:25.00
THE FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING.
IT STILL CHANGES HEARTS.
00:18:25.00\00:18:29.74
I WAS AT A -- A NATIONAL
RELIGIOUS BROADCAST CONVENTION A
00:18:29.74\00:18:34.31
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IN ORLANDO.
AND I -- I'M ON WHAT THEY CALL
00:18:34.31\00:18:41.82
THE PRESIDENT'S
COUNCIL. WE'VE BEEN PART OF NRB.
00:18:41.82\00:18:43.99
WE DO THAT TO PROTECT
THE FREEDOM TO BROADCAST.
00:18:43.99\00:18:48.29
AND SO I WAS AT THE MEETING
AND A GENTLEMAN CAME IN AND HE
00:18:48.29\00:18:52.79
SAID -- HE'S THE THE PASTOR OF
THE LARGEST CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN
00:18:52.79\00:18:56.13
THE WORLD. USED
TO BE IN SOUTH KOREA.
00:18:56.13\00:18:57.83
THAT'S NO LONGER TRUE. NOW
THE LARGEST AND THE FASTEST
00:18:57.83\00:19:01.44
GROWING IS IN
INDIA. A HINDU COUNTRY.
00:19:01.44\00:19:06.31
AND THE MAN'S NAME
IS DR. SATTISH KUMAR.
00:19:06.31\00:19:09.31
SO HE WALKED IN THE ROOM
AND EVERYONE WANTED TO VISIT.
00:19:09.31\00:19:12.38
HE WAS SORT OF THE GUEST
SPEAKERRER FOR THE REGIONS
00:19:12.38\00:19:15.92
BROKERS. AND HE
STOPS AND -- RELIGIOUS
00:19:15.92\00:19:19.49
BROADCASTERS. I HE
SAW ME AND -- SOMETIMES
00:19:19.49\00:19:22.52
PEOPLE SEE ME AND THERE'S THAT,
CULT LEADER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
00:19:22.52\00:19:27.36
THEY'RE THINKING. AND
SOMETIMES IT'S POSITIVE.
00:19:27.36\00:19:33.40
AND HE -- I WENT
OUT AND SHOOK HIS HANDS.
00:19:33.40\00:19:36.20
HE SAID, DOUG
BACHELOR, AMAZING FACTS.
00:19:36.20\00:19:39.24
HE SAID I WATCH YOUR PROGRAMS.
I THOUGHT, PRAISE THE LORD.
00:19:39.24\00:19:43.35
THE NEXT DAY HE WAS PREACHING
AND I FELT THOUGHT, I'LL COME
00:19:43.35\00:19:47.35
AND LISTEN. HE'S
TALKING TO THIS ROOM FULL
00:19:47.35\00:19:51.49
OF EVANGELICAL
MINISTERS AND BROADCASTERS.
00:19:51.49\00:19:54.99
DANNY HAS BEEN TO NRB. HE
KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
00:19:54.99\00:20:00.40
AND DURING HIS SERMON, HE SAID
I SEE BELOW PASTOR DOUG IS HERE
00:20:00.40\00:20:06.63
WITH AMAZING FACTS. IT'S
PROBABLY NOT TRUE, BUT HE
00:20:06.63\00:20:10.21
SAID THAT. HE
STARTS TALKING ABOUT THE
00:20:10.21\00:20:13.71
SECOND COMING AND THE SABBATH.
AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, 2,000
00:20:13.71\00:20:18.95
YEARS FROM ADAM TO ABRAHAM.
TWO IEWRKS THUNDERSHOWERS YEARS
00:20:18.95\00:20:24.35
FROM -- 2,000 YEARS TO
JESUS. AND EVERYONE IS GOING
00:20:24.35\00:20:27.52
HALLELUJAH. HONEST.
00:20:27.52\00:20:29.42
I WENT UP TO HIM AFTERWARDS.
I SAID, WE'VE GOT A TRAINING
00:20:29.42\00:20:32.66
SCHOOL IN INDIA. IF I
GO VISIT OUR SCHOOL, WE'D
00:20:32.66\00:20:35.10
LIKE TO COME SEE YOU.
HE SAID, I HOPE YOU DO.
00:20:35.10\00:20:38.07
SO WE DID. WE WENT
TO INDIA TO MEET WITH
00:20:38.07\00:20:43.30
OUR TRAINING SCHOOL OVER THERE.
AND WENT TO VISIT DR. KUMAR.
00:20:43.30\00:20:49.34
CHURCH HAS 190,000 MEMBERS.
AND IN -- JUST ON THE IN
00:20:49.34\00:21:00.72
OUTSKIRTS. WHILE WE
WERE THERE, HE SAID,
00:21:00.72\00:21:02.29
YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU'D
LIKE TO SHARE FOR US TONIGHT.
00:21:02.29\00:21:07.46
HE SAID OF COURSE OUR
SERVICES ARE IN TELLIGU.
00:21:07.46\00:21:14.17
PUT WE'RE HAVING A
FRIDAY NIGHTMARE MEETING.
00:21:14.17\00:21:17.67
-- NIGHT PRAYER MEETING.
AND MAYBE 10:00 TO IT YOU'D LIKE
00:21:17.67\00:21:20.51
TO TALK. HE SAD
WE'LL PROBABLY ABOUT 25
00:21:20.51\00:21:24.11
HERE. IT JUST FLOWN IN TO INDIA.
00:21:24.11\00:21:26.25
THAT'S A LONG FLIGHT. AND
I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, I LOVE
00:21:26.25\00:21:28.82
THE LORD AND I LIKE THE
ABILITY -- I GOT TO WAKE UP
00:21:28.82\00:21:32.29
EARLY AND PREACH. AND
I'M SUPPOSED TO PREACH AT A
00:21:32.29\00:21:34.29
CONFERENCE THAT SAME DAY.
AND I'M THINKING ABOUT, AND JOHN
00:21:34.29\00:21:38.89
IS HERE WITH US, HE ELBOWS ME
AND SAYS HE'S TALKING ABOUT,000.
00:21:38.89\00:21:44.70
25,000. [LAUGHTER]
00:21:44.70\00:21:45.97
>> I SAID I'LL
BE THERE! [LAUGHTER]
00:21:45.97\00:21:50.07
>> I TOLD YOU ABOUT
HOW I FEEL ABOUT A CROWD.
00:21:50.07\00:21:54.44
[LAUGHTER] >> WE
CAME THAT NIGHT AND -- WE
00:21:54.44\00:21:57.28
SPOKE EARLIER THAT DAY
AT THE CONFERENCE OFFICE.
00:21:57.28\00:21:59.88
AND LATER THIS
NIGHT WE GOT THERE.
00:21:59.88\00:22:01.55
THEY PRAY ALL NIGHT.
THEY STAY UNTIL 5:00 IN THE
00:22:01.55\00:22:06.32
MORNING, THEN PEOPLE
HAVE TO EAT AND GO TO WORK.
00:22:06.32\00:22:08.96
TALK ABOUT COMMITMENT.
AND HE STAY THERE IS WITH THEM
00:22:08.96\00:22:11.69
ALL NIGHT. HE'S
NOT LIKE ONE OF THOSE
00:22:11.69\00:22:14.66
PASTORS. HE SAYS I'M GOING HOME.
00:22:14.66\00:22:18.37
SO WE GOT UP AND THE
MAN IS SITTING ON ONE SIDE.
00:22:18.37\00:22:21.47
THEY SEAT 18,000
IN THE MAIN ROOM.
00:22:21.47\00:22:27.38
AND THEY -- AND HE BUILT
THAT THING IN LIKE 52 DAYS.
00:22:27.38\00:22:31.41
HOW COME IT TAKES US SO
LONG HERE IN CALIFORNIA?
00:22:31.41\00:22:34.88
[LAUGHTER] >> AND
THEN THEY HAD ANOTHER
00:22:34.88\00:22:36.58
ROOM WITH LIKE 10,000
OVERFLOW. IT WOULD SEAT THAT.
00:22:36.58\00:22:40.16
AND HE HAS FIVE
SERVICES ON SUNDAY.
00:22:40.16\00:22:43.86
AND IT WAS A PRETTY EXCITING TO
BE ABLE TO GET UP AND SHARE WITH
00:22:43.86\00:22:48.46
THEM. AND I SHARED
MY TESTIMONY AND WE
00:22:48.46\00:22:50.93
STAYED IN TOUCH. HE
TEXTED ME A FEW DAYS AGO.
00:22:50.93\00:22:54.60
WE WENT TO SEE
THEIR CHURCH ON SUNDAY.
00:22:54.60\00:22:57.07
AND GAVE US THE V.I.P. TOUR AND
I THOUGHT, WHY IS THIS CHURCH
00:22:57.07\00:23:04.75
EXPLODING? HE STANDS UP THERE.
00:23:04.75\00:23:06.72
HE OPENS THE BIBLE AND HE GOES
THROUGH THE BIBLE AND HE DOES
00:23:06.72\00:23:10.19
EXPOZZER TO PREACHING OF THE
WORD AND THE PEOPLE THERE ARE
00:23:10.19\00:23:13.89
HUNGERING FOR IT AND IT'S
JUST EXPLODING ALL OVER INDIA.
00:23:13.89\00:23:16.59
AND HE TEXTED ME AND
SAID PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.
00:23:16.59\00:23:20.83
GETTING OPPOSITION FROM THE
GOVERNMENT AND OTHER PASTORS
00:23:20.83\00:23:23.20
BECAUSE THE CHURCH
IS GROWING SO MUCH.
00:23:23.20\00:23:26.53
AND SO WE HAVE JUST BEEN SO
EXCITED TO SEE THE POWER OF THE
00:23:26.53\00:23:30.74
WORD AROUND THE WORLD.
AND -- I BETTER NOT TELL YOU
00:23:30.74\00:23:36.41
THAT. ANOTHER TIME.
00:23:36.41\00:23:37.85
I WILL SOMETIME. HE
PREACHES IMMEDIATELY MANY
00:23:37.85\00:23:46.15
WERE GATHERED TOGETHER.
THERE WAS NO LONGER ROOM TO
00:23:46.15\00:23:48.56
RECEIVE THEM. NOT
EVEN NEAR THE DOOR.
00:23:48.56\00:23:51.59
I WENT ON A CHURCH BUILDING
PROJECT WITH MARANATHA, WE BUILT
00:23:51.59\00:23:57.30
70 CHURCHES IN INDIA AND WE WENT
TO ONE CHURCH DEDICATION WHERE
00:23:57.30\00:24:01.47
THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE,
THE VERY DAY YOU DEDICATED THE
00:24:01.47\00:24:05.01
CHURCH, THAT THERE WAS NO
ROOM. YOU COULD BARELY BREATHE.
00:24:05.01\00:24:07.34
IT HAD NO AIR-CONDITIONING.
AND THE DOORS WERE FULL OF
00:24:07.34\00:24:12.08
PEOPLE STARING IN THE DOORS.
THE WINDOWS, THE WINDOWS WERE
00:24:12.08\00:24:15.92
BLOCKED WITH PEOPLE
STAIRING IN THE WINDOWS.
00:24:15.92\00:24:18.32
-- STAIRING IN THE WINDOWS.
PEOPLE WERE TOTALLY SQUASHED
00:24:18.32\00:24:21.66
TOGETHER. AND WHEN
I STOOD UP TO PREACH
00:24:21.66\00:24:23.93
THAT MORNING, I WASN'T
SURE WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.
00:24:23.93\00:24:26.33
AND THIS SERMON CAME TO MY MIND,
BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY THAT WAY.
00:24:26.33\00:24:32.60
AND I WAS THINKING, SEND THOSE
DAYS AGAIN WHERE PEOPLE WILL
00:24:32.60\00:24:35.94
HUNGER FOR THE WORD OF
GOD. RIGHT NOW THERE'S SO MANY
00:24:35.94\00:24:38.67
DISTREABSES.
EVERYBODY HAS THEIR DE --
00:24:38.67\00:24:40.91
ADDITION TRACTIONS.
EVERYBODY HAS -- DISTRACTIONS.
00:24:40.91\00:24:43.85
THEY CAN'T STOP
TEXTING. HAVING CAR WRECKS.
00:24:43.85\00:24:46.25
EVERYBODY IS WATCHING SOME
DEVICE OR THEY'RE SITTING AT THE
00:24:46.25\00:24:49.82
COMPUTER. THEY
DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER
00:24:49.82\00:24:51.82
ANYMORE. AND I'VE
TEXTED KAREN FROM MY
00:24:51.82\00:24:56.36
OFFICE TO HER OFFICE. [LAUGHTER]
00:24:56.36\00:25:01.06
>> HOW MANY OF HAVE
YOU DONE THAT BEFORE?
00:25:01.06\00:25:02.70
FROM ONE END OF YOUR HOUSE
YOU TEXT SOMEONE ON THE OTHER.
00:25:02.70\00:25:06.03
LET ME SEE THE HANDS. CONFESS!
00:25:06.03\00:25:12.21
WE NEED TO GET BACK TO BREECHING
THE WORD -- PREACHING THE WORD,
00:25:12.21\00:25:17.41
READING THE WORD.
NOT EVEN NEAR THE DOOR.
00:25:17.41\00:25:19.85
AND THEN THEY CAME TO
HIM BRINGING A PARALYTIC.
00:25:19.85\00:25:23.82
THIS MAN COULD NOT HELP
HIMSELF. HE'S PARALYZED.
00:25:23.82\00:25:27.12
THERE'S NO WAY
HE CAN GET TO JESUS.
00:25:27.12\00:25:29.12
IF YOU READ IN THE BOOK, IT'S
PARALYSIS, DIRECTLY CONNECTED
00:25:29.12\00:25:33.70
WITH A PERSONAL SIN. AND
THE THING HE'S LONGING FOR
00:25:33.70\00:25:37.73
MORE THAN ANYTHING IS THAT HE
MIGHT HEAR THE WORD SAY YOU'RE
00:25:37.73\00:25:42.80
FORGIVEN. HE JUST
FEELS SEPARATED BY GOD
00:25:42.80\00:25:45.04
AND SO MANY OF THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS BACK THEN, IF YOU WERE
00:25:45.04\00:25:48.44
SUFFERING FROM SOME TERRIBLE
MALADY, THEY SAY YOU'RE BEING
00:25:48.44\00:25:52.75
PUNISHED FOR YOUR SINS.
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU DESERVE.
00:25:52.75\00:25:55.75
ONE TIME A DISCIPLE
SAW A MAN BORN BLIND.
00:25:55.75\00:25:58.59
WAS IT HIS SINS OR HIS PARENTS'?
GOD WAS PUNISHING HIM IN ADVANCE
00:25:58.59\00:26:04.06
OR WAS IT THE SINS OF HIS
PARENTS AND -- AND SO THEY USED
00:26:04.06\00:26:08.00
TO THINK ANYBODY SUFFERING
THEY'RE GETTING WHAT THEY
00:26:08.00\00:26:10.37
DESERVE. AND SO HE
JUST ALWAYS FELT LIKE
00:26:10.37\00:26:11.87
HE WAS SO -- SUCH AN OUTCAST AND
SO ISOLATED FROM HIS OWN PEOPLE.
00:26:11.87\00:26:17.11
AND SO CUT OFF. BUT HE
HAD SOME FRIENDS AND THEY
00:26:17.11\00:26:23.51
SAID, WE WILL BRING YOU TO THE
HOUSE WHERE JESUS IS PREACHING
00:26:23.51\00:26:28.32
THE WORD. IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE FRIENDS LIKE
00:26:28.32\00:26:33.05
THAT. I'VE NOT
DONE THE COUNT MYSELF,
00:26:33.05\00:26:34.82
BUT I HEARD SOMEONE SAY ONCE
THAT NEARLY 50% OF THE PEOPLE
00:26:34.82\00:26:37.76
THAT WERE HEALED BY JESUS
WERE EITHER BROUGHT TO JESUS OR
00:26:37.76\00:26:42.20
SOMEONE
INTERCEDED IN THEIR BEHALF.
00:26:42.20\00:26:44.70
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
NEED FORGIVENESS AND THEY NEED
00:26:44.70\00:26:48.14
HEALING AND THEY'RE NEVER GOING
TO GET TO JESUS WITHOUT THE HELP
00:26:48.14\00:26:50.67
OF OTHERS. NOW,
THESE FOUR FRIENDS, THAT
00:26:50.67\00:26:55.24
TAKES COMMITMENT.
THEY GOT TO CARRY HIM.
00:26:55.24\00:26:59.88
THEY'RE NOT ROLLING HIM.
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE MOST
00:26:59.88\00:27:02.35
IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN A WAR ARE
CALLED THE STRETCHER BEARERS.
00:27:02.35\00:27:08.59
AND I WAS VERY PRIVILEGED TO
BE FRIENDS WITH BENJAMIN DOSS.
00:27:08.59\00:27:13.46
YOU KNOW HIS SECOND WIFE WAS A
MEMBER OF OUR CHURCH IN NORTHERN
00:27:13.46\00:27:17.33
CALIFORNIA. SO WE'D
SEE HIM PERIODICALLY.
00:27:17.33\00:27:20.20
AND JUST A WONDERFUL MAN. HE
WAS FAMOUS BECAUSE HE PUT HIS
00:27:20.20\00:27:23.41
LIFE ON THE LINE SO MANY TIMES
TO CARRY PEOPLE OFF THE FIELD OF
00:27:23.41\00:27:26.91
BATTLE SO THEY MIGHT BE HEALED.
AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MOST
00:27:26.91\00:27:30.71
IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WAR.
AND WE'RE IN A WAR BETWEEN GOOD
00:27:30.71\00:27:35.75
AND EVIL AND GOD NEEDS STRETCHER
BEARERS THAT ARE NOT JUST GOING
00:27:35.75\00:27:38.65
TO CARE ABOUT GETTING THEMSELVES
SAVED AND HEALED BUT CARING
00:27:38.65\00:27:43.43
ABOUT THE OTHERS THAT
ARE WOUNDED AROUND THEM.
00:27:43.43\00:27:47.46
AND SO THEY COMMITTED TO
BRINGING THEIR FRIEND TO JESUS.
00:27:47.46\00:27:49.93
I LIKE DOING AMAZING FACTS.
THIS GUY IVAN FREDERICKS, HE'S
00:27:49.93\00:27:54.74
BETTER KNOWN AS RUSSIAN JACK.
HE AND A BUDDY WERE DOING GOLD
00:27:54.74\00:27:59.51
MINING IN HALL
WEEK, WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
00:27:59.51\00:28:02.44
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW WHERE
THAT IS, BUT IT'S THE END OF THE
00:28:02.44\00:28:05.45
WORLD. YOU KNOW,
BY THE GREAT SANDY
00:28:05.45\00:28:08.38
DESERT. AND I'VE
BEEN ALL THE WAY OUT TO
00:28:08.38\00:28:11.95
WESTERN AUSTRALIA,
PERTH, DARBY, BROOM.
00:28:11.95\00:28:14.19
THESE TOWNS, TO SPEAK TO A
FEW ABORIGINES WATCHING OUTER
00:28:14.19\00:28:18.56
PROGRAMS OUT THERE. --
WATCHING OUR PROGRAMS OUT
00:28:18.56\00:28:23.87
THERE. I FLEW
FIVE HOURS AND THE --
00:28:23.87\00:28:25.53
THERE'S NO CLOUDS. THE
LANDSCAPE DID NOT CHANGE IN
00:28:25.53\00:28:30.11
FIVE HOURS. I HAD NO IDEA.
00:28:30.11\00:28:32.44
IT WAS SO BIG. IT
WAS JUST RED DIRT.
00:28:32.44\00:28:36.44
SO THESE GUYS ARE
OUT THERE GOLD MINING.
00:28:36.44\00:28:38.85
THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD.
TRIED TO SHOOT A KANGAROO AND
00:28:38.85\00:28:42.78
WHEN ONE OF THEM WAS GOING
TO FETCH IT, IVAN FREDERICKS'
00:28:42.78\00:28:46.19
BUDDY, HE SLIPPED
AND BROKE HIS LEG.
00:28:46.19\00:28:48.16
OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
SO IVAN SAID, WELL, THE NEAREST
00:28:48.16\00:28:54.93
CLINIC IS 100 MILES AWAY.
AND ALL HE HAD WAS AN OLD HEAVY
00:28:54.93\00:29:00.37
WOODEN WHEELBARROW
THEY USED FOR MINING.
00:29:00.37\00:29:02.80
HE PUT HIS FRIEND IN THE
WHEELBARROW AND PUSHED HIM 100
00:29:02.80\00:29:06.81
MILES. THAT'S A FRIEND.
00:29:06.81\00:29:11.25
I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ANY
FRIENDS THAT ARE THAT GOOD.
00:29:11.25\00:29:13.85
[LAUGHTER] >> CAN
YOU IMAGINE HOW TIRED
00:29:13.85\00:29:15.25
YOUR ARMS WOULD BE? AND
WHEN HE FINALLY WHEELED INTO
00:29:15.25\00:29:19.72
THE TOWN THERE IN WYNDHAM WHERE
THERE WAS A CLINIC, AND THE
00:29:19.72\00:29:23.56
PEOPLE CAME RUNNING OUT, THEY
SAW HIM COMING DOWN THE ROAD.
00:29:23.56\00:29:27.13
AND HE SAID, YOU JUST PUSHED HIM
IN A WHEELBARROW 100 MILES FROM
00:29:27.13\00:29:32.03
HALL CREEK? HE SAID, YEAH.
00:29:32.03\00:29:33.64
AND HIS FRIEND THIS THE
WHEELBARROW SAID, AND HE DIDN'T
00:29:33.64\00:29:36.71
MISS A SINGLE ROCK
ON THE WAY, EITHER.
00:29:36.71\00:29:38.61
[LAUGHTER] >> THAT'S A FRIEND.
00:29:38.61\00:29:44.11
SO THESE FRIENDS
BROUGHT THEIR FRIEND TO JESUS.
00:29:44.11\00:29:46.75
BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THE PROBLEM IS THE CROWD ONCE
00:29:46.75\00:29:51.09
AGAIN WAS TOO
TALL. WAIT A SECOND.
00:29:51.09\00:29:55.09
THIS IS THE CROWD AT THE HOUSE
WHERE JESUS IS PREACHING THE
00:29:55.09\00:30:00.96
WORD. THAT'S CALLED THE CHURCH.
00:30:00.96\00:30:04.77
AND THEY WERE KEEPING
PEOPLE FROM GETTING IN.
00:30:04.77\00:30:09.47
BECAUSE HE'S PARALYZED.
AND I SUPPOSE AS THEY BROUGHT
00:30:09.47\00:30:12.41
THEIR FRIEND -- I
KNOW WHAT THEIR NAMES WERE.
00:30:12.41\00:30:15.11
THE FOUR, MATTHEW,
MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN.
00:30:15.11\00:30:18.85
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO
TYPICALLY BRING OTHERS TO JESUS.
00:30:18.85\00:30:20.95
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? I
JUST MADE THAT UP, BUT THERE
00:30:20.95\00:30:24.55
IS A SPIRITUAL POINT THERE.
AND SO THEY GET TO THE DOOR AND
00:30:24.55\00:30:28.76
THEY CAN'T GET ANYWHERE
NEAR THE DOOR AND THEY TAPPED ON
00:30:28.76\00:30:32.96
SOMEONE'S SHOULDER AND SAID
WE'VE GOT A FELLA WHO NEEDS TO
00:30:32.96\00:30:35.76
BE IN THE PRESENCE OF JESUS.
AND THEY SAID WE GOT HERE FIRST.
00:30:35.76\00:30:38.43
YOU KNOW, FIRST
COME-FIRST SERVE.
00:30:38.43\00:30:41.67
YOU SNOOZE YOU
LOSE. THIS IS OUR PLACE.
00:30:41.67\00:30:47.34
I ACTUALLY KNOW SOME PEOPLE,
MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCHES, I WON'T
00:30:47.34\00:30:50.38
SAY WHAT CHURCH,
BUT THEY GOT THEIR PEW.
00:30:50.38\00:30:53.78
AND IF THEY GET TO CHURCH AND
SOME VISITOR HAS THE AUDACITY TO
00:30:53.78\00:30:58.15
SIT IN THEIR SPOT, THEY WILL
GIVE THEM A PIECE OF THEIR MIND.
00:30:58.15\00:31:02.39
AND THEY'LL SAY, HOW MANY OF
YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:31:02.39\00:31:08.20
AND SEALT THEY'LL SAY,
EXCUSE ME, THAT'S OUR SPOT.
00:31:08.20\00:31:10.83
AND THEY'RE GOING, I'M
SORRY, FIRST TIME HERE.
00:31:10.83\00:31:12.73
I DIDN'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT.
00:31:12.73\00:31:15.20
WELL WE'LL WE'LL
LET IT GO THIS TIME.
00:31:15.20\00:31:17.61
[LAUGHTER] SO
YOU'RE TRYING TO BRING
00:31:17.61\00:31:23.41
SOMEONE CRIPPLED TO SCREESES AND
THE CROWD HEARING THE WORD --
00:31:23.41\00:31:27.35
JESUS AND THE CROWD HEARING
THE WORD WON'T LET HIM IN.
00:31:27.35\00:31:30.55
SO THEY CAN'T
GET THROUGH THE DOOR.
00:31:30.55\00:31:31.69
THE CROWD HAS NO SYMPATHY FOR
THIS MAN WHO OBVIOUSLY NEEDS IT
00:31:31.69\00:31:35.32
MORE THAN THEY DO.
SO THEY TRY THE WINDOW.
00:31:35.32\00:31:38.29
ONE WINDOW. CAN'T GET IN.
00:31:38.29\00:31:40.13
THEY SAID, STOP
PUSHING. WE GOT HERE FIRST.
00:31:40.13\00:31:43.33
AND IT'S HARDER WHEN YOU'RE
CARRYING A STRETCHER TO BRING
00:31:43.33\00:31:45.83
YOUR FRIEND IN.
TAKES A LITTLE MORE ROOM.
00:31:45.83\00:31:47.94
THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN.
THEY CAN'T GET ANYWHERE NEAR.
00:31:47.94\00:31:52.01
SO THE MAN IN THE STRETCHER,
HE SAYS TO HIS BUDDIES, I REALLY
00:31:52.01\00:31:54.88
APPRECIATE IT, GUYS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TRYING.
00:31:54.88\00:31:59.51
MAYBE ANOTHER DAY. AND
THEY SAID NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
00:31:59.51\00:32:05.12
THEY CARRIED YOU
HERE. YOU'RE WALKING HOME.
00:32:05.12\00:32:07.56
THEY DIDN'T GIVE
UP. CAN YOU SAY AMEN?
00:32:07.56\00:32:11.46
[CROWD NOISE] AMEN.
00:32:11.46\00:32:12.83
>> THERE WERE
PLENTY OF OBSTACLES.
00:32:12.83\00:32:14.96
BUT THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY GOT THEIR FRIEND INTO
00:32:14.96\00:32:17.77
THE PRESENCE OF JESUS.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE THE
00:32:17.77\00:32:23.54
MIRACLES HAPPEN. IF WE
CAN GET PEOPLE CONNECTED
00:32:23.54\00:32:28.28
WITH THE PROCLAMATION OF THEORD,
THAT'S -- WORD, THAT'S WHERE OUR
00:32:28.28\00:32:33.11
BATTLE IS. THE WORD
-- BIBLE TELLS US THE
00:32:33.11\00:32:36.22
WORD OF GOD DESCENDS
TO HEAVEN LIKE THE RAIN.
00:32:36.22\00:32:40.02
IT WILL ACCOMPLISH THE
THING THAT I'VE ORDAINED.
00:32:40.02\00:32:44.19
AND IF WE CAN -- YOU GO
AROUND, YOU GET PEOPLE, DVDs.
00:32:44.19\00:32:48.73
DOES ANYONE DO THAT
ANYMORE? SOME PEOPLE.
00:32:48.73\00:32:51.23
YOU GIVE A DVD OR YOU HAVE
TO GIVE A LINK TO SOMEBODY.
00:32:51.23\00:32:54.57
YOU SEND THEM A LINK.
WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO GET THEM
00:32:54.57\00:32:57.67
TO LISTEN TO THE
WORD OR TO WATCH THE WORD.
00:32:57.67\00:33:00.08
AND THERE'S POWER IN THAT.
THEY SAID, WELL, IT'S NOT GOOD
00:33:00.08\00:33:04.28
ENOUGH THAT THEY BRING THEIR
FRIEND TO THE HOUSE WHERE JESUS
00:33:04.28\00:33:08.65
IS PREACHING THE WORD BECAUSE
HOUSES DON'T SAVE ANYBODY.
00:33:08.65\00:33:11.69
THEY NEEDED TO GET THEIR FRIEND
INTO THE PRESENCE OF JESUS
00:33:11.69\00:33:15.09
PREACHING THE WORD AND
JESUS IS THE WORD INCARNATE.
00:33:15.09\00:33:20.56
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? THE
WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT
00:33:20.56\00:33:23.10
AMONG US. AND SO
THEY WOULD NOT GIVE UP
00:33:23.10\00:33:25.10
UNTIL THEY GOT HIM
CONNECTED WITH THE WORD.
00:33:25.10\00:33:27.90
HE HAD TO BE IN
THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST.
00:33:27.90\00:33:30.74
AND YOU KNOW, ALL OF US
ULTIMATELY, WE NEED TO COME TO
00:33:30.74\00:33:34.94
JESUS AND HAVE A
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP.
00:33:34.94\00:33:38.41
WE ALL NEED A
PERSONAL ENCOUNTER TO JESUS.
00:33:38.41\00:33:41.18
IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE
WERE SURROUNDING THE HOUSE WHERE
00:33:41.18\00:33:45.25
JESUS WAS, BUT THEY DIDN'T
EXPERIENCE A MIRACLE THIS MAN
00:33:45.25\00:33:49.96
EXPERIENCED, BECAUSE HIS FRIENDS
PERSISTED IN GETTING HIM INTO
00:33:49.96\00:33:52.23
THE PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS.
NOW, WE ALL HAVE LOVED ONES THAT
00:33:52.23\00:33:58.20
WE CARE ABOUT. WE ALL
HAVE FRIENDS WE'D LIKE TO
00:33:58.20\00:34:01.47
SEE SAVED THAT
MAYBE DON'T KNOW THE LORD.
00:34:01.47\00:34:03.34
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS
THAT I GET IS, WHAT CAN I DO TO
00:34:03.34\00:34:10.61
REACH -- MY SON, MY DAUGHTER,
MY GRANDKIDS, MY SPOUSE, MY
00:34:10.61\00:34:15.78
FRIENDS, MY WORK
ASSOCIATES, FAMILY MEMBER.
00:34:15.78\00:34:18.95
DOUG, WHAT CAN I DO. AND
THEY THINK THAT MAYBE I'VE
00:34:18.95\00:34:20.92
GOT SOME SECRET
FORMULA. THREE THINGS.
00:34:20.92\00:34:25.29
I LEARNED THIS FROM STEVIE
BROOKS AND I NEVER FOUND A
00:34:25.29\00:34:29.13
BETTER ANSWER. THREE
THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR THE
00:34:29.13\00:34:32.57
PEOPLE THAT YOU WANT TO REACH.
THERE'S ONLY THREE THINGS.
00:34:32.57\00:34:35.07
BUT THEY'RE
VERY POWERFUL THINGS.
00:34:35.07\00:34:37.67
WELL, THERE'S THREE AND A HALF.
ONE, IF THEY'RE OPEN, SHARE
00:34:37.67\00:34:42.74
INFORMATION WITH THEM.
GIVE THEM A BOOK, A MAGAZINE.
00:34:42.74\00:34:47.52
IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE
A BIBLE, GET THEM A BIBLE.
00:34:47.52\00:34:51.09
-- HAVE A BIBLE,
GIVE THEM A BIBLE.
00:34:51.09\00:34:52.92
GIVE THEM A TAPE. DOES
ANYONE HAVE A TAPE PLAYER
00:34:52.92\00:34:56.59
ANYMORE. HOW MANY
STILL HAVE A CASSETTE
00:34:56.59\00:34:59.43
PLAYER? LOOK AT
THAT, I KNEW IN THIS
00:34:59.43\00:35:00.76
GROUP I COULD ASK
THAT QUESTION. [LAUGHTER]
00:35:00.76\00:35:02.80
>> SO YOU GIVE
THEM A DVD OR MAGAZINE.
00:35:02.80\00:35:05.33
GIVE THEM THE WORD. AND
IF THEY'LL LISTEN TO THE
00:35:05.33\00:35:07.20
WORD OR TAKE A BIBLE STUDY FROM
YOU, GIVE THEM A BIBLE STUDY.
00:35:07.20\00:35:10.67
TAKE THEM TO THE AMAZING FACTS
BIBLE STUDIES OR SOMETHING.
00:35:10.67\00:35:14.14
SO INFORMATION.
IF THEY'LL LISTEN TO
00:35:14.14\00:35:16.21
INFORMATION, THAT'S ONE THING.
SECOND THING, IS PRAY FOR THEM.
00:35:16.21\00:35:22.88
SOME PEOPLE SAY, WELL, ALL I CAN
DO IS PRAY, AND THEY ALWAYS
FEEL-LIKE THAT'S SORT OF A
00:35:22.88\00:35:28.09
COPOUT, LIKE IT'S NOT POWERFUL.
BUT IF YOU'RE REALLY PRAYING,
00:35:28.09\00:35:32.16
AND ONE TIME THE DISCIPLES TRIED
TO CAST OUT A DEVIL AND THEY
00:35:32.16\00:35:35.83
COULDN'T DO IT. THEY
SAID LORD, HOW COME YOU CAN
00:35:35.83\00:35:38.60
CAST THEM OUT AND WE COULDN'T.
HE SAID THIS KIND DOES THOUGHT
00:35:38.60\00:35:42.44
COME FORTH EXCEPT
PI PRAYER AND FASTING.
00:35:42.44\00:35:44.61
-- BY PRAYER AND FASTING.
SO YOU MAY EVEN FAST AND PRAY
00:35:44.61\00:35:47.58
FOR THEM. AND YOU
MAY DO IT MORE THAN
00:35:47.58\00:35:50.48
ONCE. AND THEN
THIRD THING IS BE A
00:35:50.48\00:35:52.88
GOOD EXAMPLE. YOU
CAN BE A STRETCHER BEARER
00:35:52.88\00:35:57.75
AND BRING PEOPLE TO
JESUS BY DOING THOSE THINGS.
00:35:57.75\00:36:02.36
AND THEN THE FOURTH THING, I
TOLD YOU IT'S THREE AND A HALF,
00:36:02.36\00:36:07.50
DO THOSE THINGS
PATIENTLY AND PERSISTENTLY.
00:36:07.50\00:36:11.27
SO ONCE YOU FIGURE IT WHAT IT'S
DOING, CONTINUE TO BE A GOOD
00:36:11.27\00:36:14.14
WITNESS. IF THEY'RE OPEN, SHARE
00:36:14.14\00:36:15.77
INFORMATION. IF THEY
DON'T WANT INFORMATION,
00:36:15.77\00:36:17.71
DON'T PUSH THEM.
YOU'LL DRIVE THEM AWAY.
00:36:17.71\00:36:19.51
I KNOW SOME DEAR LOVING PARENTS
AND THEY WANT TO REACH THEIR
00:36:19.51\00:36:22.08
KIDS AND THEY JUST KEEP BRINGING
THINGS ON THEM AND THE KIDS FEEL
00:36:22.08\00:36:25.55
LIKE YOU'RE ALWAYS PREACHING
TO ME, AND IT DRIVES THEM AWAY.
00:36:25.55\00:36:28.85
YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHEN TO BACK OFF.
00:36:28.85\00:36:29.95
IT'S HARD, I KNOW. AND
KEEP IN MIND THAT MAN THAT
00:36:29.95\00:36:33.82
IS BROUGHT INTO THE PRESENCE
OF JESUS IS NOT BROUGHT INTO THE
00:36:33.82\00:36:36.26
PRESENCE OF JESUS BY ONE
PERSON. IT'S FOUR PEOPLE.
00:36:36.26\00:36:40.40
SO OFTEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SAVED,
IT'S NOT THE WORK OF ANY ONE
00:36:40.40\00:36:44.80
PERSON. EVEN PAUL
SAID ONE PERSON MIGHT
00:36:44.80\00:36:47.97
SOW, ANOTHER
PERSON READY, CULTIVATES.
00:36:47.97\00:36:51.04
WE ALL WORK TOGETHER. I
USED TO THINK I'D STOP AND
00:36:51.04\00:36:55.54
PICK UP HITCHHIKERS
AND I'D WITNESS TO THEM.
00:36:55.54\00:36:58.78
THAT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME.
00:36:58.78\00:37:01.02
I PRAYED AND THIS CHRIS CHRISTIE
PICKED ME AND UP -- CHRISTIAN
00:37:01.02\00:37:05.35
PICKED ME UP AND HE TALKED
ABOUT THE BIBLE THE WHOLE WAY.
00:37:05.35\00:37:08.22
AND I HAD TO LIST TON HIM OR
GYM -- LISTEN TO HIM OR JUMP OUT
00:37:08.22\00:37:11.79
THE CAR. YOU'VE
GOT A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
00:37:11.79\00:37:14.13
SO I'D PICK UP HITCHHIKERS AND
I'D PICK THEM UP AT POINT A AND
00:37:14.13\00:37:18.50
THEN I'D THINK, HOW FAR BEFORE
THEY'RE GETTING OFF AND I HAVE
00:37:18.50\00:37:21.67
TO DO A GOSPEL PRESENTATION.
I'M ONLY GOT SIX MILES.
00:37:21.67\00:37:25.67
AND I ALWAYS FELT LIKE, I WOULD
MAYBE NOT PICK THEM UP IF I
00:37:25.67\00:37:31.61
DIDN'T HAVE LONG ENOUGH
TO DO A GOSPEL PRESENTATION.
00:37:31.61\00:37:34.22
AND I'M SORRY TO
TELL YOU THAT I ADMITTED.
00:37:34.22\00:37:37.89
I'M TURNING OFF JUST
IN TWO MILES UP HERE.
00:37:37.89\00:37:40.19
HOW MUCH CAN I
SHARE IN THAT TIME.
00:37:40.19\00:37:42.22
AND I DROVE BY THEM. AND
ONE DAY THE LORD SAID DOUG,
00:37:42.22\00:37:47.23
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE THE
ONLY PART OF THE GOSPEL THEY'RE
00:37:47.23\00:37:49.96
EVER GOING TO HEAR. SO
MAYBE YOU SHOULD CARE A
00:37:49.96\00:37:52.50
LITTLE BIT. MAYBE
YOU JUST GIVE THEM A RIDE
00:37:52.50\00:37:54.47
BECAUSE YOU'RE A
CHRISTIAN AND THEY NEED A RIDE.
00:37:54.47\00:37:57.31
THEY NEED A RIDE. IT'S
LIKE SOME OF US WON'T GIVE
00:37:57.31\00:38:00.41
A PERSON A TRACK BUT WE WON'T
GIVE THEM BREAD WHEN THEY'RE
00:38:00.41\00:38:05.75
HUNGRY. SO I
REALIZED, LORD, I DON'T
00:38:05.75\00:38:07.82
HAVE TO DO IT ALL MYSELF.
AND WHEN I PRAY FOR PEOPLE I
00:38:07.82\00:38:10.99
LOVE, I SAY, LORD, I PRAY YOU'LL
SEND PEOPLE INTO THEIR LIVES.
00:38:10.99\00:38:14.22
NOT JUST ONE PERSON.
SEND PEOPLE INTO THEIR LIVES.
00:38:14.22\00:38:18.59
THAT'S FOUR STRETCHER BEARERS.
JESUS SAID HE'LL SEND THE ANGELS
00:38:18.59\00:38:21.73
TO THE FOUR
CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
00:38:21.73\00:38:23.47
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST.
THE SYMBOL FOR SOMETHING JIEWNL
00:38:23.47\00:38:27.90
UNIVERSAL. FOUR
ANGELS HOLDING BACK THE
00:38:27.90\00:38:29.67
FOUR WINDS OF STRIKE.
GOD IS GOING TO BRING PEOPLE
00:38:29.67\00:38:32.74
FROM ALL DIFFERENT PARTS
OF THEIR LIFE, ALL CORNERS, TO
00:38:32.74\00:38:35.54
REACH THEM. SO REMEMBER THAT.
00:38:35.54\00:38:38.65
HE HAS HIS WAYS. BE
A GOOD EXAMPLE, SHARE
00:38:38.65\00:38:43.89
INFORMATION, AND PRAY
FOR THEM, AND DO THOSE THINGS
00:38:43.89\00:38:48.76
PERSISTENTLY. SO
THEY SAID WE'RE NOT GIVING
00:38:48.76\00:38:51.19
UP. AND THEN AT
THAT POINT, INSTEAD
00:38:51.19\00:38:53.43
OF LOOKING HORIZONTALLY, THEY
SAID WE GOT TO LOOK LOVE THE
00:38:53.43\00:38:58.17
CROWD. THAT'S OUR
THEME FOR THIS WEEK.
00:38:58.17\00:39:00.67
THEY FINALLY DECIDED, WE'VE BEEN
TRYING TO GO IN THROUGH THE DOOR
00:39:00.67\00:39:03.74
AND WINDOW. MAYBE
WE'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT
00:39:03.74\00:39:05.47
THIS RIGHT. INSTEAD
OF LOOKING THIS WAY, WE
00:39:05.47\00:39:07.41
GOT TO LOOK THIS WAY.
NOW, REALLY, THERE'S BOTH
00:39:07.41\00:39:10.81
INVOLVED IN BEING A CHRISTIAN.
THERE'S THE HORIZONTAL AND
00:39:10.81\00:39:14.98
THERE'S THE
VERSE CAL. -- VERTICAL.
00:39:14.98\00:39:17.59
THE DOS PEL IS
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL.
00:39:17.59\00:39:20.66
GREAT INVITATION, MATH
THROUGH 11, COME UNTO ME.
00:39:20.66\00:39:24.93
THIS IS THE
VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP.
00:39:24.93\00:39:27.03
COME UNTO ME AND
I'LL GIVE YOU THE REST.
00:39:27.03\00:39:28.50
YOU COME TO CRIETSZ.
THEN YOU'VE GOT -- CITES.
00:39:28.50\00:39:30.73
THEN YOU'VE GOT THE HOZZAL,
MAT -- HORIZONTAL, MATTHEW 28.
00:39:30.73\00:39:35.10
GO AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD.
WHAT ARE THE TWO COMMANDMENTS.
00:39:35.10\00:39:39.74
LOVE THE LORD AND THE
VERTICAL, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:39:39.74\00:39:42.48
AS YOURSELF. AND
SO THE WHOLE GOSPEL IS
00:39:42.48\00:39:46.88
SUMMARIZED INTO COMING TO
JESUS AND GOING FOR JESUS.
00:39:46.88\00:39:50.85
SO THEY HAD DONE THEIR
BEST TO DO THE HORIZONTAL.
00:39:50.85\00:39:53.22
AND ONE OF THEM SAID,
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO LOOK UP.
00:39:53.22\00:39:58.66
AND SO THEY TOOK
THEIR FRIEND AROUND BACK.
00:39:58.66\00:40:02.40
THE CROWD WAS A
LITTLE THINNER THERE.
00:40:02.40\00:40:04.53
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, IN THE
BIBLE, ESPECIALLY DOWN BY THE
00:40:04.53\00:40:09.80
SEE OF GALILEE. KAREN
AND I WERE THERE ABOUT A
00:40:09.80\00:40:12.64
YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AND
IT'S VERY HOT DOWN BY TIE
00:40:12.64\00:40:19.21
BEERIOUS. AND THE
HOUSES ARE BUILT THERE
00:40:19.21\00:40:20.95
SO THAT YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T
HAVE GAS RANGES OR ELECTRIC
00:40:20.95\00:40:24.29
RANGES. THEY HAD A FIRE.
00:40:24.29\00:40:26.39
AND IN THE SUMMERTIME THEY'D --
NINE THE THE WINTER, THEY HAD A
00:40:26.39\00:40:29.56
LITTLE PLACE IN THE
ROOF THAT THEY'D OPEN UP.
00:40:29.56\00:40:31.93
THEY'D PULL ASIDE SOME TILES AND
SOME OF THE COVERING AND THE AIR
00:40:31.93\00:40:35.33
WOULD COME IN FROM THE DOORS AND
THE WINDOWS AND THE CONVECTION
00:40:35.33\00:40:39.27
WOULD CAUSE IT TO GO OUT
THE CHIMNEY UP AND THEY USED TO
00:40:39.27\00:40:42.07
BUILD THEIR HOMES BACK THEN
WHERE THEY ACTUALLY WOULD GO OUT
00:40:42.07\00:40:44.47
ON THE ROOF. YOU
REMEMBER PETER IS UP ON THE
00:40:44.47\00:40:47.08
ROOF. I THINK
WAITING FOR DINNER.
00:40:47.08\00:40:48.58
AND YOU READ ABOUT MOSES SAID
YOU'RE TO BUILD A LITTLE RAILING
00:40:48.58\00:40:52.65
ON THE ROOF OF YOUR HOUSE SO
WHEN YOUR FRIENDS UP THERE, IF
00:40:52.65\00:40:56.05
HE FALLS OUT, YOU'RE NOT
ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS BLOOD TO
00:40:56.05\00:40:59.42
PROTECT HIM. AND
DAVID WAS WALKING OUT OF THE
00:40:59.42\00:41:01.66
ROOF. HE GOT IN
TROUBLE FOR DOING
00:41:01.66\00:41:03.63
THAT. SO THEY
WOULD GO UP ON THE ROOF.
00:41:03.63\00:41:06.19
IT WASN'T UNCOMMON.
THERE WAS A PLACE ON THE ROOF.
00:41:06.19\00:41:08.73
SO THESE GUYS THOUGHT, WELL,
LET'S TAKE HIM UP ON THE ROOF.
00:41:08.73\00:41:12.77
AND LET'S PULL ASIDE THE TILES
THAT THEY USED FOR THE CHIMNEY.
00:41:12.77\00:41:17.61
AND WE'LL JUST -- IF THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO LET US IN, WE'RE NOT
00:41:17.61\00:41:20.58
GIVING UP. THE STORY
WHEN PETER GOT OUT OF
00:41:20.58\00:41:25.55
PRISON, HE WENT TO THE
CHURCH. YOU KNOW THAT STORY?
00:41:25.55\00:41:29.72
HE GETS OUT OF PRISON, HE
GOES TO THE UPPER ROOM WHERE THE
00:41:29.72\00:41:31.89
CHURCH IS PRAYING FOR HIM.
BIBLE SAYS THEY WERE PRAYING FOR
00:41:31.89\00:41:35.69
PETER WITHOUT
CEASING AND HE KNOCKS.
00:41:35.69\00:41:38.46
[KNOCKING] >> AND
HE WON'T OPEN THE DOOR.
00:41:38.46\00:41:41.63
AND HE KEEPS KNOCKING AND
FINALLY A GIRL COMES TO THE
00:41:41.63\00:41:44.30
DOOR. SHE SAYS, WHO'S THERE.
00:41:44.30\00:41:46.63
PETER! CAN'T HELP
YOU, WE'RE HAVING A
00:41:46.63\00:41:50.57
PRAYER MEETING
FOR PETER RIGHT NOW.
00:41:50.57\00:41:52.81
[LAUGHTER] >> HE
SAID, WHO'S THERE.
00:41:52.81\00:41:54.61
PETER? PETER, PETER.
00:41:54.61\00:41:55.61
SHE RUNS AND SHE TELLS THEM
THEY'RE HAVING A PRAYER MEETING.
00:41:55.61\00:41:59.28
SHE SAYS, EXCUSE ME.
HELP YOUR SERVANT PETER.
00:41:59.28\00:42:03.79
PLEASE, BRING
HIM, BRING HIM OUT.
00:42:03.79\00:42:05.59
DO SOMETHING WONDERFUL.
AND SHE SAID PETER'S AT THE
00:42:05.59\00:42:08.06
DOOR. YOU'RE CRAZY.
00:42:08.06\00:42:08.59
THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.
HE'S AT THE CHURCH PRAYING FOR
00:42:08.59\00:42:14.00
PETER TO BE DELIVERED
AND PETER IS AT THE DOOR.
00:42:14.00\00:42:15.90
AND PETER IS STILL
OUT THERE. [KNOCKING]
00:42:15.90\00:42:18.60
[LAUGHTER] >> ROMAN
SOLDIERS ARE SWARMING
00:42:18.60\00:42:19.50
THE STREETS LOOKING FOR HIM.
AND THEY SAID, PETER CONTINUED
00:42:19.50\00:42:25.81
KNOCKING. DON'T GIVE UP.
00:42:25.81\00:42:27.24
IF YOU GO TO THE CHURCH AND
THE CROWD -- I MEAN, EVEN THOSE
00:42:27.24\00:42:31.31
DISCIPLES BACK IN PETER'S DAY
THAT HAD RECEIVED THE BAPTISM OF
00:42:31.31\00:42:35.02
THE HOLY SPIRIT
WEREN'T HIM BACK IN THE CHURCH.
00:42:35.02\00:42:38.25
ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?
HERE HE IS A PREACH AND THEY
00:42:38.25\00:42:42.39
WON'T -- PREACHER AND HE
WON'T OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM.
00:42:42.39\00:42:45.79
BUT PETER
WOULDN'T BE DISKUHNLED.
00:42:45.79\00:42:47.50
IF YOU'VE TRIED -- DISCOURAGED.
IF YOU'VE TRIED TO BRING PEOPLE
00:42:47.50\00:42:50.47
TO THE CHURCH,
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
00:42:50.47\00:42:53.30
JESUS WAS IN THAT HOUSE.
IN SPITE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH
00:42:53.30\00:42:56.30
THE CROWD, ALL THROUGH THIS
STORY THE CROWD IS A PROBLEM.
00:42:56.30\00:43:01.44
BUT JESUS WAS IN THE HOUSE.
I'D LIKE A PREACHER ONCE -- IT'S
00:43:01.44\00:43:05.31
LIKE A PREACHER ONCE SAID,
DURING TH FLOOD PROBABLY ONE OF
00:43:05.31\00:43:08.15
THE LAST PLACES IN THE WORLD YOU
WOULD WANT TO BE IS IN THE ARK.
00:43:08.15\00:43:11.25
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SEA SICKNESS
THAT WOULD BE COMPOUNDED BY THE
00:43:11.25\00:43:15.79
SMELL OF THE ANIMALS AND
THE AWFUL SOUNDS THAT WERE MADE?
00:43:15.79\00:43:19.33
BUT IT WAS BETTER THAN
BEING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ARK.
00:43:19.33\00:43:23.50
AND WITH ALL OF ITS FAILINGS,
WITH ALL OF ITS FLAWS, THE
00:43:23.50\00:43:28.14
BOOK'S TELLS US THIS IS --
COMMENTARY ON THAT -- THAT IN
00:43:28.14\00:43:32.87
SPITE OF ITS FAILURES AND FLAWS,
THE CHURCH IS THE OBJECT ON
00:43:32.87\00:43:36.61
EARTH UPON WHICH HE
BESTOWS HIS SUPREME REGARD.
00:43:36.61\00:43:41.65
IT'S THE APPLE OF HIS EYE.
AND YES, THE PROBLEM WITH THE
00:43:41.65\00:43:46.12
CHURCH IS THERE ARE PEOPLE IN
THE CHURCH AND I KNOW THERE ARE
00:43:46.12\00:43:50.93
HYPOCRITES IN THE CHURCH AND THE
CROWD SOMETIMES IS AN OBSTACLE
00:43:50.93\00:43:53.80
FOR JESUS. WON'T
DON'T LET THAT KEEP YOU
00:43:53.80\00:43:56.40
FROM COMING BECAUSE
THERE ARE HYPOCRITES.
00:43:56.40\00:43:59.43
ONE PASTOR SAID, THERE'S
ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE.
00:43:59.43\00:44:02.40
YOU SHOULD JOIN
ANYWAY. [LAUGHTER]
00:44:02.40\00:44:05.54
>> SOMEONE SAYS, YOU KNOW,
IT'S JUST SO HARD TO COME TO THE
00:44:05.54\00:44:09.21
CHURCH. THEY
DON'T SEEM VERY LOVING.
00:44:09.21\00:44:10.75
HAVE YOU HEARD SOMEONE SAY,
I WON'T GO TO THE CHURCH THAT
00:44:10.75\00:44:14.42
SUBJECT SEEM VERY LOVING.
THAT'S THE BEST CHURCH TO GO TO
00:44:14.42\00:44:17.29
BECAUSE YOU NEED
TO LEARN TO LOVE.
00:44:17.29\00:44:19.15
AND IF EVERYONE IS LOVING,
YOU DON'T LEARN ANYTHING.
00:44:19.15\00:44:21.82
IT'S LIKE IF YOU WANT PATIENCE,
DON'T PRAY FOR PATIENCE IF
00:44:21.82\00:44:25.23
YOU'RE AN IMPATIENT PERSON
BECAUSE GOD WILL SEND YOU DELAY.
00:44:25.23\00:44:29.23
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? AND
IF YOU SAY, LORD, GIVE ME A
00:44:29.23\00:44:33.57
LOVING HEART. WHAT DO
YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO
00:44:33.57\00:44:36.07
DO? SURROUND YOU
WITH LOVING PEOPLE?
00:44:36.07\00:44:37.84
YOU SAY LORD,
GIVE ME A LOVING HEART.
00:44:37.84\00:44:40.08
HE'LL SAY, OKAY,
BRACE FOR IMPACT.
00:44:40.08\00:44:43.98
[LAUGHTER] >> I'M
GOING TO SEND YOU PEOPLE
00:44:43.98\00:44:46.15
THAT ARE GOING TO
STRETCH YOUR LOVE MUSCLES.
00:44:46.15\00:44:48.72
[LAUGHTER] >> AND
YOU'RE GONNA FIND OUT
00:44:48.72\00:44:51.55
WHAT I SEE EVERY DAY S
WHAT GOD -- DAY S WHAT GOD SAYS.
00:44:51.55\00:44:56.46
BUT GOD LOVES US
WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS.
00:44:56.46\00:44:59.66
CHRIST DIED FOR US. SO
THEY GO UP ON THE ROOF AND
00:44:59.66\00:45:04.70
THEY START PULLING THE
TILES ASIDE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
00:45:04.70\00:45:09.50
THERE'S LIGHT
COMES STREAMING THROUGH.
00:45:09.50\00:45:11.21
JESUS IS IN THERE AND
HE'S SURROUNDED PI THE PEOPLE.
00:45:11.21\00:45:14.08
HE'S GOT THE APOSTLES.
THEY'RE ALL CROWDED WITH PEOPLE
00:45:14.08\00:45:17.28
AND THE OTHER APOCKLES AND
SCRIBES -- APOSTLES THE SCRIBES
00:45:17.28\00:45:22.22
AND FACER -- PHAROSES.
PROBABLY SOME SPIES AND PEOPLE
00:45:22.22\00:45:26.69
CRANING THEIR NECKS IN THE DOORS
AND WINDOWS LISTENING TO EVERY
00:45:26.69\00:45:30.09
WORD. SOME OF THEM ARE SINCERE
00:45:30.09\00:45:31.76
BELIEVERS. SOME OF
THEM ARE JUST CURIOSITY
00:45:31.76\00:45:34.20
SEEKERS. SOME OF
THEM GO WHEREVER THERE'S
00:45:34.20\00:45:35.46
A CROWD. THEY GET IN LINE.
00:45:35.46\00:45:37.80
THEY JUST -- THEY FOLLOW
THE BANDWAGON WHEREVER IT GOING.
00:45:37.80\00:45:42.40
AND THEY'RE --
SO HE HAD ALL KINDS.
00:45:42.40\00:45:45.31
CHURCHES SOMETIMES
HAVE ALL THOSE KINDS, TOO.
00:45:45.31\00:45:48.08
SO HE'S TEACHING. THEY
START PULLING ASIDE THE
00:45:48.08\00:45:52.21
TILES AND IN THE
STREAMS OF SUNLIGHT.
00:45:52.21\00:45:54.35
THE CLUTTER AND THE
CLATTER UP ON THE ROOF.
00:45:54.35\00:45:56.69
AND OF SOME OF THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS ARE THINKING, THESE
00:45:56.69\00:46:00.42
CRUDE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN.
YOU COME UP BY HERE BY GALILEE
00:46:00.42\00:46:04.43
AND THEY HAVE NO BREEDING.
IT'S LIKE THOMASVILLE OR
00:46:04.43\00:46:07.96
SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. AND THEY'RE --
00:46:07.96\00:46:11.63
[LAUGHTER] >> COUNTRY FOLKS!
00:46:11.63\00:46:15.00
THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE THINKING.
I DON'T MEAN THE THOMPSONVILLE.
00:46:15.00\00:46:19.07
THE RELIGIOUS LEADER,
THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.
00:46:19.07\00:46:21.11
THEY'RE
GALILEANS. WHAT DO THEY KNOW.
00:46:21.11\00:46:22.98
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SO RUDE
AND CRUDE AND THEY HAD AN ACCENT
00:46:22.98\00:46:27.05
AND THEY TALKED FUNNY.
AND FORGIVE ME, ABOUT THE
00:46:27.05\00:46:31.02
THOMPSONVILLE PART.
I WAS KIDDING THERE.
00:46:31.02\00:46:33.59
IT'S A JOKE. MOSTLY.
00:46:33.59\00:46:37.69
[LAUGHTER] >> NOW
DOES JESUS GET UPSET?
00:46:37.69\00:46:45.50
HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE TO BE
INTERRUPTED WHEN YOU'RE GIVING A
00:46:45.50\00:46:49.67
BIBLE STUDY? I MEAN,
YOU KNOW -- RIGHT WHEN
00:46:49.67\00:46:56.24
YOU'RE GETTING READY TO MAKE
YOUR APPEAL, SOME DEVIL PINCHES
00:46:56.24\00:46:59.08
A BABY. [LAUGHTER]
00:46:59.08\00:47:04.02
>> ARE THE KIDS ON THE FRONT ROW
START PASSING THEIR PHONES BACK
00:47:04.02\00:47:06.82
AND FORTH AND SNICKERING.
THEY'RE NOT PAYING ANY
00:47:06.82\00:47:09.62
ATTENTION. I I GET DISTRACT.
00:47:09.62\00:47:11.96
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
LAUGHING AT BECAUSE I'VE GOT
00:47:11.96\00:47:15.23
ADD. AND SO NO ONE WANTS TO BE
00:47:15.23\00:47:17.23
DISTRACTED IN A SERMON,
BUT HOW DOES JESUS RESPOND?
00:47:17.23\00:47:21.07
WHEN JESUS SAW
THEIR FAITH, HE WAS HAPPY.
00:47:21.07\00:47:27.51
THEY LED HIM DOWN ON HIS
BED AND HE SAW THEIR FAITH.
00:47:27.51\00:47:32.25
HE SAID SAID TO THE PARE A
LITTIC -- PARALYTIC, SON, YOUR
00:47:32.25\00:47:37.19
SINS ARE
FORGIVEN. WAIT A SECOND.
00:47:37.19\00:47:39.75
WHY DID JESUS START THERE? I
WOULD THINK THAT YOU KNOW, IF
00:47:39.75\00:47:42.26
HE'S KNOWN AS A HEALER AND THIS
MAN WHO'S OBVIOUSLY PHYSICALLY
00:47:42.26\00:47:46.03
HANDICAPPED IS LOWERED DOWN
INTO THE PRESENCE OF JESUS, THAT
00:47:46.03\00:47:49.66
JESUS IS
THINKING, HE'S PARALYZED.
00:47:49.66\00:47:52.40
HIS PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS AND
YOU GO RIGHT TO THE SICKNESS.
00:47:52.40\00:47:56.84
WHY DID JESUS
START WITH THE SIN?
00:47:56.84\00:48:00.28
PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER,
THAT EVERY PHYSICAL HEALING THAT
00:48:00.28\00:48:05.78
JESUS EVER
PERFORMED WAS ONLY TEMPORARY.
00:48:05.78\00:48:09.78
EVEN LAZARUS WHO WAS RESER
RENTED IS NOW -- REZZER RENTED
00:48:09.78\00:48:13.69
IS NOW DEAD. YOU KNOW THAT.
00:48:13.69\00:48:15.02
BUT THE REASON THAT JESUS HEALED
PHYSICALLY IS TO SHOW HIS LOVE
00:48:15.02\00:48:19.89
AND BETTER EMPOWER PEOPLE TO
SEEK AFTER THE REAL PRIORITY,
00:48:19.89\00:48:23.33
WHICH IS THE SPIRITUAL HEALING.
NOW, I BELIEVE IN HEALTH
00:48:23.33\00:48:30.51
MESSAGE. AND I
THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
00:48:30.51\00:48:32.91
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, IF
I'VE GOT TO CHOOSE THIS PERSON
00:48:32.91\00:48:38.28
COULD HAVE PHYSICAL HEALING OR
THEY CAN HAVE SPIRITUAL HEALING,
00:48:38.28\00:48:41.05
WHICH HEALING IS
GOING TO LAST FOREVER?
00:48:41.05\00:48:43.92
AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE COME TO US
AS PASTORS AND SAY THEY'D LIKE
00:48:43.92\00:48:48.59
TO HAVE AN
ANOINTING. WE WANT TO BE HEALED.
00:48:48.59\00:48:50.96
IT'S A PHYSICAL
PROBLEM AND WE BELIEVE IN THAT.
00:48:50.96\00:48:52.73
AND WE'VE SEEN MIRACLES.
WE HAVE, PHYSICAL HEALING,
00:48:52.73\00:48:57.70
MIRACLES. AND THE
FIRST THING I SAY, WHEN
00:48:57.70\00:48:59.17
I PRAY WITH THEM, LET'S
FIRST TALK ABOUT THE SIN.
00:48:59.17\00:49:02.94
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TELLS
US IN JAMES 5 AND IF HE OR SHE
00:49:02.94\00:49:07.44
HAS COMMITTED SINS, THEY'LL BE
FORGIVEN BECAUSE THAT'S THE REED
00:49:07.44\00:49:11.75
ISSUE. -- REAL ISSUE.
00:49:11.75\00:49:13.11
JESUS CAME TO
SAVE US FROM OUR SINS.
00:49:13.11\00:49:16.52
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTION
OF CHRISTIANITY IN THIS WORLD?
00:49:16.52\00:49:20.46
YOU ASK THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
AT LARGE, WHAT DOES CHRISTIANITY
00:49:20.46\00:49:23.86
DO FOR THE WORLD. AND
SOME MIGHT SAY, WELL, THEY
00:49:23.86\00:49:26.93
KEECH GOOD VALUES
AND THEY TEACH MORALITY.
00:49:26.93\00:49:30.80
AND THERE'S BENEFIT
IN THE HEALTH MESSAGE.
00:49:30.80\00:49:32.67
AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SAY
ALL KINDS OF THINGS ABOUT
00:49:32.67\00:49:36.37
CHRISTIANITY IN GENERAL.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE BIG
00:49:36.37\00:49:38.44
THING IS. WE'RE ALL PARISHING.
00:49:38.44\00:49:41.28
WE'RE GOING TO --
PERISHING. WE'RE GOING TO DIE.
00:49:41.28\00:49:47.32
THEY PAY FOR THEIR SINS.
THE PENALTY OF DEATH IS DYING
00:49:47.32\00:49:51.92
AND WE'RE DYING BECAUSE
OF SIN. THE MOST GOSH THINGS
00:49:51.92\00:49:56.36
CHRISTIANITY -- IMPORTANT THING
CRIZTY DOES FOR THE WORLD SIT
00:49:56.36\00:49:59.93
GIVES FORGIVENESS FOR SKIN.
IF YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN NO
00:49:59.93\00:50:03.37
MATTER WHAT ELSE MIGHT
HAPPEN, WHEN YOU DIE YOU HAVE
00:50:03.37\00:50:05.40
EVERLASTING LIFE. IN A
WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO
00:50:05.40\00:50:08.57
MORE PHYSICAL SUFFERING OR
PROBLEMS OR SORROW OR PAIN OR
00:50:08.57\00:50:11.54
DEATH. SO WHAT
COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT
00:50:11.54\00:50:13.54
THAN SAYING, YOUR
SINS ARE FORGIVEN?
00:50:13.54\00:50:16.58
THEN WHEN JESUS COMES,
YOU'VE GOT YOUR TICKET.
00:50:16.58\00:50:20.55
EVERYTHING ELSE WE PRAY FOR AND
SO MANY PEOPLE THAT -- LIKE THE
00:50:20.55\00:50:24.02
GUY IN JAIL. HE
SAYS, LORD, THIS JAIL ASK
00:50:24.02\00:50:29.96
MISERABLE. NO HEATING, NO AIR.
00:50:29.96\00:50:31.99
WILL YOU PLEASE HELP US GET SOME
CENTRAL HEATING AND AIR IN THIS
00:50:31.99\00:50:35.76
JAIL. IT IS SO HOT.
00:50:35.76\00:50:37.33
IN THE SUMMER, AND AND
IT'S SO COLD IN THE WINTER.
00:50:37.33\00:50:41.84
LORD, THE BED IS SO HARD.
CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE THE BED MORE
00:50:41.84\00:50:46.24
COMFORTABLECH IT'S SO
CROWD WITH THE PRISONERS.
00:50:46.24\00:50:49.51
LORD, CAN I HAVE
CARPET FOR MY PRISON CELL.
00:50:49.51\00:50:52.75
AND THE LORD IS SAYING, WHY
DON'T YOU ASK THAT I GET YOU OUT
00:50:52.75\00:50:55.48
OF JAIL. WE
TYPICALLY PRAY THAT GOD WILL
00:50:55.48\00:50:58.52
MAKE US MORE
COMFORTABLE IN OUR PRISON.
00:50:58.52\00:51:00.96
THAT'S RIGHT. OUR
PRAYERS ARE THAT GOD WILL
00:51:00.96\00:51:02.89
BLESS US WHILE WE
CONTINUE WITH THE LIFE OF SIN.
00:51:02.89\00:51:07.76
THAT'S NOT WHAT HE
WANT INFORMATION DO.
00:51:07.76\00:51:09.06
HE WANTS YOU TO SAVE YOU THERE
YOUR SIN BECAUSE THAT'S THE
00:51:09.06\00:51:13.40
SOURCE OF ALL
OUR MISERY. AND OUR.
00:51:13.40\00:51:16.24
MAT DELIVERANCE FROM ANY
PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL
00:51:16.24\00:51:19.37
PROBLEM WILL BE
FORGIVENESS OF SIN.
00:51:19.37\00:51:22.08
IF YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN,
THEN YOU GOT EVERYTHING.
00:51:22.08\00:51:27.78
MY GRANDFATHER USED TO SAY, IF
YOU'VE GOT YOUR HEALTH, YOU'RE A
00:51:27.78\00:51:31.99
RICH MAN. AND I'VE
COME TO BELIEVE THAT
00:51:31.99\00:51:34.59
THOUGH THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT,
I SAY IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR
00:51:34.59\00:51:39.56
FORGIVENESS, YOU ARE A
RICH MAN OR RICH WOMAN.
00:51:39.56\00:51:42.40
IF YOU KNOW YOUR SINS
ARE FORGIVEN, THEN YOU'VE GOT
00:51:42.40\00:51:48.50
ETERNAL LIFE. HE
SAID, SON, YOUR SINS ARE
00:51:48.50\00:51:52.11
FORGIVEN. SOME OF
THE SCRIBES WERE SITTING
00:51:52.11\00:51:53.41
THERE. THEY'RE
REASONING IN THEIR
00:51:53.41\00:51:54.71
HEARTS, WHY DOES THIS MAN
SPEAK BLASPHEMIES LIKE THIS?
00:51:54.71\00:51:58.85
WHO CAN FORGIVE
SINS BUT GOD ALONE?
00:51:58.85\00:52:00.92
THEY WERE RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT THE SCRIPTURES
00:52:00.92\00:52:03.45
TEACH. ONLY GOD
COULD FORGIVE SIN.
00:52:03.45\00:52:05.52
NOW, THEY NEEDED
TO MAKE A DECISION.
00:52:05.52\00:52:07.76
WAS JESUS GOD OR
WAS HE A BLAST FEMMER?
00:52:07.76\00:52:13.60
TO PROVE THEM THAT HE WAS GOD,
HE READS THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR
00:52:13.60\00:52:17.90
HEARTS.
IMMEDIATELY JESUS PERCEIVED IN
00:52:17.90\00:52:20.30
THE SPIRIT, THEY REASONED
THUS WESTERN THEMSELVES.
00:52:20.30\00:52:23.17
WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS? ONLY GOD?
00:52:23.17\00:52:25.81
WAS JESUS GOD? THE
BIBLE SAYS GOD AND GOD ONLY
00:52:25.81\00:52:29.51
KNOWS THE
THOUGHTS OF OUR HEARTS.
00:52:29.51\00:52:31.18
JESUS KNEW WHAT WAS IN
MAN. JESUS FILLS ALL OF THE
00:52:31.18\00:52:34.78
DEFINITIONS OF GOD. IN
THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED.
00:52:34.78\00:52:36.95
ALL THINGS THAT WERE
MADE WERE MADE BY CHRIST.
00:52:36.95\00:52:39.12
IS THAT RIGHT? IT
SAYS, HE IS THE WORD.
00:52:39.12\00:52:42.49
THE WORD BECAME FLESH.
BIBLE SAYS THERE IS ONE SAVIOR.
00:52:42.49\00:52:45.83
IT SAYS THAT JESUS WAS SAVIOR.
HE'S THE ONLY NAME GIVEN AMONG
00:52:45.83\00:52:49.56
MEN WHERE SPI WE MUST BE
SAVED. JESUS MUST BE GOD.
00:52:49.56\00:52:53.27
BIBLE SAYS ONLY GOD
SHOULD BE WORSHIPED.
00:52:53.27\00:52:55.67
WHEN HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
THOMAS SAID, MY LORD AND MY GOD.
00:52:55.67\00:52:59.27
AND THE OTHER DISCIPLES
FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPED HIM.
00:52:59.27\00:53:05.61
EVEN ANGELS THAT DON'T
WORSHIP ME WORSHIP GOD.
00:53:05.61\00:53:08.98
JESUS MEETS THE DEFCISION.
AND THEY SAY ONLY GOD CAN
00:53:08.98\00:53:11.82
FORGIVE SIN. HE
SAID THAT'S MY POINT.
00:53:11.82\00:53:14.89
WHY DO YOU REASON THOSE THINGS?
HE'D -- HE'S RADING THE HEARTS.
00:53:14.89\00:53:20.40
TO SAY TO THE PARALYTIC
YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN?
00:53:20.40\00:53:22.76
YOU WANT EVIDENCE OF GOD.
SHOULD YOUR SINS BE FORGIVEN?
00:53:22.76\00:53:26.80
ARISE, PICK UP
YOUR BED AND WALK.
00:53:26.80\00:53:28.30
BUT THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW THAT THE
SON OF MAN HAS POWER ON EARTH TO
00:53:28.30\00:53:32.07
FORGIVE SINS. HE
SAID TO THE SICK OF THE
00:53:32.07\00:53:36.38
PALSY, I SAY ARISES, TAKE UP
YOUR BED AND GO TO YOUR HOUSE.
00:53:36.38\00:53:40.32
NOW, THAT MAN, HE WAS ALREADY
HAPPY WHEN HE HEARD JESUS SAY,
00:53:40.32\00:53:43.49
YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
HIS FACE WAS JUST FLUSHED WITH
00:53:43.49\00:53:47.89
PEACE AND REJOICE, BECAUSE
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
00:53:47.89\00:53:50.79
THAT HE WANTED.
THE BOOK DESIRE -- 268.
00:53:50.79\00:53:55.66
NOW IN WORDS THAT SOUND
LIKE MUSIC ON THE SUFFICIENTER
00:53:55.66\00:54:02.10
OVER -- SUFFICIENTER'S
YEAR, YOUR -- SUFFERER'S EAR.
00:54:02.10\00:54:08.01
THE PEACE OF FORGIVENESS
RESTS UPON HIS APPEARANCE.
00:54:08.01\00:54:13.05
HIS PHYSICAL PAIN IS GONE.
HIS WHOLE BEING IS TRANSFORMED.
00:54:13.05\00:54:16.42
THE HELPLESS
PARALYTIC IS HEALED.
00:54:16.42\00:54:20.96
IN SIMPLE FAITH HE ACCEPTS THE
WORD OF JESUS AS THE BON OF NEW
00:54:20.96\00:54:25.39
LIFE. HE URGED NO
FURTHER REQUESTS BUT
00:54:25.39\00:54:27.60
HE LAYS IN BLISSFUL
SILENCE TO HAPPY FOR WORDS.
00:54:27.60\00:54:31.40
HE DOESN'T KNOW HE
CAN GET UP AND WALK.
00:54:31.40\00:54:35.00
MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
THE -- THE PEOPLE LOOKED UPON
00:54:35.00\00:54:39.21
THE SCENE WITH AWE.
EVERYTHING SAW SOMETHING THAT
00:54:39.21\00:54:41.11
HAPPENED TO HIM. A
PEACE COMES OVER HIM.
00:54:41.11\00:54:44.11
BUT NOW JESUS SAYS, YOU
DON'T THINK THAT I'M GOD?
00:54:44.11\00:54:46.38
HE SAYS, THE MAN ARISE, PICK UP
YOUR BED, AND -- IN OBEDIENCE TO
00:54:46.38\00:54:52.45
THE LORD, HE GETS UP.
AND PROBABLY IS IN SHOCK
00:54:52.45\00:54:57.23
HIMSELF. HE
ROLLS UP HIS STRETCHER.
00:54:57.23\00:55:00.40
THAT BED THAT CARRIED HIM
AROUND, SICK, AND NOW HE CARRIES
00:55:00.40\00:55:06.17
IT OUT. AND THE
BIKE SAYS, THEY WERE --
00:55:06.17\00:55:08.40
BIBLE SAYS THEY WERE ALL AMAZED.
THEY SAID, THEY'D NEVER SEEN
00:55:08.40\00:55:11.97
ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
NOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
00:55:11.97\00:55:14.41
IMPORTANT POINTS. JESUS
SAID TO HIS FRIENDS WHEN
00:55:14.41\00:55:19.81
HE SAW THEIR FAITH -- DIDN'T SAY
HIS FAITH -- WHEN THEY SAW THEIR
00:55:19.81\00:55:24.65
FAITH, THIS MAN IS HEALED
AT LEAST IN PART BECAUSE OF THE
00:55:24.65\00:55:27.76
FAITH AND PERSISTENCE OF HIS
FRIENDS, THAT PERSISTED TO BRING
00:55:27.76\00:55:33.43
HIM INTO THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST.
DON'T GIVE UP FOR YOUR LOVED
00:55:33.43\00:55:35.80
ONES AND FRIENDS. ALL
THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH
00:55:35.80\00:55:39.47
GOD. AMEN?
00:55:39.47\00:55:40.94
THE OTHER IMPORTANT POINT, IS
THAT MAN CAME TO CHRIST CARRIED
00:55:40.94\00:55:46.14
BY HIS BED. IN ALL OF
US AS HUMANS WE'VE GOT
00:55:46.14\00:55:49.84
THESE THREE NATURES AT
WAR. WE HAVE THE SPIRIT AND THE
00:55:49.84\00:55:55.45
FLESH. THERE'S A
WORD -- WAR THAT GOES
00:55:55.45\00:55:58.89
ON. EVEN AFTER
YOU'VE SAVED YOU FEEL
00:55:58.89\00:56:00.62
THE WAR. BECAUSE
YOU'VE GOT THE SPIRITUAL
00:56:00.62\00:56:02.66
DESIRE, THE FLESH, THE SELF
ISSUENESS AND THE LUST OF THE
00:56:02.66\00:56:08.00
EYES -- SELFISHNESS. AND
THE LUS OFT OF THE EYES AND WE
00:56:08.00\00:56:12.87
ALL HAVE IT. HE WENT
TO THE BED -- HE WENT
00:56:12.87\00:56:16.50
WHERE THE BED TOOK HIM.
AFTER HE MET JESUS, DOES HE
00:56:16.50\00:56:19.14
STILL HAVE THE BED?
BUT WHO'S CARRYING WHO?
00:56:19.14\00:56:22.68
THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN YOU'RE
SAVED, SIN SHALL NO LONGER HAVE
00:56:22.68\00:56:27.05
DOMINION OVER YOU.
SIN NO LONGER REIGNS.
00:56:27.05\00:56:31.49
DO YOU STILL HAVE THAT CARNAL
NATURE, PUT NOW CHRIST IS ON THE
00:56:31.49\00:56:35.19
THRONE IN YOUR WIFE AND
YOU'RE NOT LED BY THE FLESH.
00:56:35.19\00:56:37.23
YOU ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT,
AMEN? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?
00:56:37.23\00:56:40.33
WE COME INTO THE PRESENCE OF
CHRIST AND WE HEAR HIM SAY, SON,
00:56:40.33\00:56:44.50
YOU KNOW WHAT HE CALLED
HIM. SON, YOU'RE ADOPTED.
00:56:44.50\00:56:48.24
YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
HE SENSE THAT BY FAITH.
00:56:48.24\00:56:52.07
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A MIRACLE
TAKES PLACE AND HE CAN WALK IN A
00:56:52.07\00:56:55.74
NEW WALK AND A NEW LIFE.
THAT MAN WENT OUTSIDE WITH THE
00:56:55.74\00:57:01.65
WHOLE PACKAGE. HE'S
GOT THE INNER HEALING AND
00:57:01.65\00:57:03.65
THE OUTER HEALING. YOU
WANT -- JESUS THROUGH THE
00:57:03.65\00:57:08.46
POWER OF HIS WORD,
HE CAN DO BOTH FOR YOU.
00:57:08.46\00:57:12.16
AS WE CLOSE TONIGHT FOR
THOSE HERE AND THOSE WHO MAY BE
00:57:12.16\00:57:15.56
WATCHING, IF YOU WANT TO SAY,
LORD, I WANT THAT EXPERIENCE, I
00:57:15.56\00:57:18.57
WANT TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE
AND BE COMPLETELY HEALED AND
00:57:18.57\00:57:21.54
FORGIVEN. PRAISE GOD.
00:57:21.54\00:57:22.44
WE'RE GOING TO PRAY AS WE CLOSE
OUT THE PROGRAM AND ASK HIM.
00:57:22.44\00:57:25.71
FATHER IN HEAVEN, LORD, WE
JUST -- WE JUST GLORIFY YOU AND
00:57:25.71\00:57:30.28
WE THANK YOU AND PRAISE YOU
FOR THIS SIMPLE TRUTH THAT JESUS
00:57:30.28\00:57:33.65
CAME THAT THE WORLD TO SAVE
SINNERS, THAT HIS WORD AND HIS
00:57:33.65\00:57:37.45
POWER CAN SET US FREE, LORD,
THERE'S SOME HERE WE NEED TO
00:57:37.45\00:57:42.52
HEAR YOU SAY, SON, DAUGHTER,
YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN AND
00:57:42.52\00:57:46.73
BELIEVE BY FAITH
THAT THT'S WHY HE CAME.
00:57:46.73\00:57:48.70
HELP US NOT BE DESCOURAGED WHEN
SOMETIMES THE CROWD GETS IN THE
00:57:48.70\00:57:53.03
WAY. AND LORD, I ALWAYS PRAY
00:57:53.03\00:58:08.28
