In the beginning, the
earth was without form and void.
00:00:01.55\00:00:07.76
Then God said,
"Let there be light"
00:00:07.77\00:00:11.65
and there was light
00:00:11.66\00:00:14.53
and God divided the
light from the darkness.
00:00:14.54\00:00:17.23
So the evening and the
morning were the first day.
00:00:17.24\00:00:20.17
So the evening and the
morning were the second day.
00:00:34.21\00:00:36.37
Then God said, "Let the
waters under the heavens
00:00:41.41\00:00:43.92
be gathered
together into one place,
00:00:43.93\00:00:46.12
and let the dry land appear.
00:00:46.13\00:00:47.51
Let the earth bring
forth grass and herb
00:00:52.84\00:00:57.59
and the fruit tree that yields
fruit according to its kind.
00:00:57.60\00:01:02.76
So the evening and the
morning were the third day.
00:01:02.77\00:01:05.29
Then God made two great lights.
00:01:08.82\00:01:11.37
He made the stars also.
00:01:11.38\00:01:13.35
So the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
00:01:13.36\00:01:16.15
Then God said,
"Let the waters abound
00:01:21.30\00:01:23.12
with an abundance
of living creatures
00:01:23.13\00:01:24.89
and let birds
fly above the earth
00:01:29.90\00:01:32.25
across the face of the
firmament of the heavens.
00:01:32.26\00:01:38.55
So the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
00:01:38.56\00:01:41.03
Then God said, "Let the earth
bring forth living creatures
00:01:45.23\00:01:48.11
according to its kind,
cattle, and creeping things,
00:01:48.12\00:01:53.66
and beast of the earth.
00:01:53.67\00:01:55.03
Then God said, "Let us make man
00:02:04.57\00:02:06.40
in our image
according to our lightness."
00:02:06.41\00:02:10.59
So the evening and
morning were the sixth day.
00:02:10.60\00:02:13.32
And on the seventh
day God ended His work
00:02:16.00\00:02:18.20
which he had done.
00:02:18.21\00:02:19.26
And he rested the
seventh day from all His work
00:02:19.27\00:02:21.62
which he had done.
00:02:21.63\00:02:22.65
Then God
blessed the seventh day,
00:02:22.66\00:02:23.93
and sanctified it,
00:02:23.94\00:02:25.00
because in it He had
rested from all his work
00:02:25.01\00:02:27.65
which God had created and made.
00:02:27.66\00:02:31.33
And indeed it was very good.
00:02:31.34\00:02:33.77
Well, it's a real
pleasure to welcome each of you
00:02:36.57\00:02:38.63
back to our program tonight,
00:02:38.64\00:02:41.49
"Origins, the
First Week of Time."
00:02:41.50\00:02:44.52
As we begin this evening,
let's ask God's blessing.
00:02:44.53\00:02:49.91
Eternal Father, bless us now
00:02:49.92\00:02:51.61
as we open Your word
both spoken and written.
00:02:51.62\00:02:54.54
And we earnestly
invite the Holy Spirit
00:02:54.55\00:02:57.47
that was so active in creation
to be present here tonight
00:02:57.48\00:03:01.51
to create in our
hearts and in our minds
00:03:01.52\00:03:05.88
a spiritual
understanding of this subject.
00:03:05.89\00:03:09.09
Teach us now Lord well,
00:03:09.10\00:03:10.95
we listen as our
prayer in Jesus name, amen.
00:03:10.96\00:03:15.36
We noticed last night that
God said and when God said,
00:03:15.37\00:03:20.93
there was a Seven-fold
manifestation of light
00:03:22.76\00:03:26.48
that came into existence.
00:03:26.49\00:03:29.24
And when that
light came into existence
00:03:29.25\00:03:31.44
that evening on
that first evening
00:03:31.45\00:03:35.93
and the scripture,
00:03:35.94\00:03:36.93
we'll look at
that a little more.
00:03:36.94\00:03:38.37
Later you'll notice
in order to get light,
00:03:38.38\00:03:42.23
you have to have
some kind of a reflector,
00:03:42.24\00:03:46.52
because there is light pass
00:03:46.53\00:03:48.48
between that
projector and that screen.
00:03:48.49\00:03:50.67
But you do not
see any of that light
00:03:50.68\00:03:52.65
until it hits a reflector.
00:03:52.66\00:03:55.66
Then you notice like
those words Seven-fold light,
00:03:55.67\00:03:59.77
it reflects that light.
00:03:59.78\00:04:01.29
But what's on the other side?
00:04:01.30\00:04:03.88
The shadow, the darkness.
00:04:03.89\00:04:06.94
And we notice on day
one God did the separating.
00:04:06.95\00:04:13.35
And day four we
notice, He would change up,
00:04:13.36\00:04:15.72
but that's day
four as we talk about
00:04:15.73\00:04:18.58
what did God create to
take over the work of doing
00:04:18.59\00:04:21.34
the separating of
the light from darkness.
00:04:21.35\00:04:25.14
We notice also according
to the scriptures says,
00:04:25.15\00:04:27.27
the evening and the
morning was day one.
00:04:27.28\00:04:32.14
And that the dark part
came first and then the light.
00:04:32.15\00:04:37.17
We discover that
the dark part of the day
00:04:37.18\00:04:39.83
is in many respects absolutely
00:04:39.84\00:04:42.33
as important as
is the light part.
00:04:42.34\00:04:44.47
All though we
don't normally think so,
00:04:44.48\00:04:46.19
because we sleep
through the dark part
00:04:46.20\00:04:48.03
or we should sleep
through the dark part.
00:04:48.04\00:04:50.57
We discover in a
plant world on day three
00:04:50.58\00:04:52.72
which is tomorrow night.
00:04:52.73\00:04:54.20
And on that, in the
dark part of the night,
00:04:54.21\00:04:57.65
that's when the
plants produce the food,
00:04:57.66\00:04:59.77
not in the
daytime, but in the night
00:04:59.78\00:05:02.06
and the dark part when
it is breathing in oxygen
00:05:02.07\00:05:06.79
instead of carbon
dioxide, very interesting.
00:05:06.80\00:05:09.37
We said we need to
prepare for this seminar
00:05:09.38\00:05:11.79
and that is we want to
do little introspection
00:05:11.80\00:05:14.40
searching our own
hearts and we want to have
00:05:14.41\00:05:16.71
the proper atmosphere.
00:05:16.72\00:05:19.63
And we're looking
at atmosphere tonight.
00:05:19.64\00:05:22.08
We wanted to do introspection,
examine your self.
00:05:22.09\00:05:25.30
Many people
have their pride for,
00:05:25.31\00:05:27.49
because they believe
they are open-minded.
00:05:27.50\00:05:30.74
But there are three
ways of approaching truth.
00:05:30.75\00:05:33.88
You can approach from a
skeptic, they doubt everything,
00:05:33.89\00:05:37.46
or the believer,
they believe everything,
00:05:37.47\00:05:40.36
or the inquirer,
they are searching
00:05:40.37\00:05:43.56
in order to get from
a skeptic to a believer.
00:05:43.57\00:05:47.90
And then the proper atmosphere
00:05:47.91\00:05:50.05
because tonight we're
gonna look at some things
00:05:50.06\00:05:52.53
that may challenge what
you have previously believed.
00:05:52.54\00:05:56.57
And the proper attitude
is first of all humility,
00:05:56.58\00:06:00.54
what can I learn.
00:06:00.55\00:06:01.90
And then honesty,
00:06:01.91\00:06:03.98
honestly look at the
evidence and then with calmness.
00:06:03.99\00:06:08.22
And then with respect for
the other person's viewpoint,
00:06:08.23\00:06:13.07
even though it
may not be the one
00:06:13.10\00:06:15.56
that you have held in the past
00:06:15.59\00:06:17.53
or maybe in the
process of changing
00:06:17.54\00:06:19.88
as an inquirer to a believer
00:06:19.89\00:06:22.84
and moving from a
skeptic to a believer.
00:06:22.85\00:06:27.11
And so if you have your Bibles,
00:06:27.12\00:06:30.11
I invite you to
turn to Genesis Chapter 1
00:06:30.12\00:06:36.56
and we're going
to begin reading,
00:06:37.82\00:06:39.91
and I'll be reading tonight
from the New King James version.
00:06:39.92\00:06:46.30
Genesis Chapter 1 and we'll
begin reading with verse 6.
00:06:46.31\00:06:52.93
"And then God said, Let there be
00:06:52.94\00:06:54.98
a firmament in the
midst of the waters,
00:06:54.99\00:06:58.95
and let it divide the
waters from the waters.
00:06:58.96\00:07:04.16
And thus God made the firmament,
00:07:04.17\00:07:06.27
and divided the waters
which were under the firmament
00:07:06.28\00:07:10.25
from the waters which
were above the firmament
00:07:10.26\00:07:13.46
and it was so.
00:07:13.47\00:07:16.39
And God called
the firmament Heaven.
00:07:16.40\00:07:19.29
So the evening and the
morning was the second day.
00:07:19.30\00:07:25.82
We discover when
one approaches a home,
00:07:25.83\00:07:29.59
and I visit lots of homes.
00:07:29.60\00:07:31.88
And you walk into that home.
00:07:31.89\00:07:33.92
You're not there very long.
00:07:33.93\00:07:35.52
And you are quite aware
that a home has an atmosphere,
00:07:35.53\00:07:38.65
you notice that.
00:07:38.66\00:07:40.36
And some homes feel
very warm in inviting
00:07:40.37\00:07:43.33
and some homes they are
sort of cool and repulsive.
00:07:43.34\00:07:46.85
Did you notice
that? You walk into home
00:07:46.86\00:07:48.41
and you just feel
very much at home there,
00:07:48.42\00:07:50.86
or you may not feel quiet so.
00:07:50.87\00:07:52.69
Have you noticed that?
00:07:52.70\00:07:53.79
That's an invisible
atmosphere around every home
00:07:53.80\00:07:57.00
and every home has it.
00:07:57.01\00:07:58.51
And we're gonna
discover in our study tonight
00:07:58.52\00:08:01.66
that in those 20 brief words,
00:08:01.67\00:08:05.69
God created a
foundational part of life
00:08:05.70\00:08:10.33
called atmosphere.
00:08:10.34\00:08:12.85
And so you notice, have you ever
00:08:12.86\00:08:15.67
try to separate
water from water?
00:08:15.68\00:08:17.79
You know, you take a bucket
00:08:17.80\00:08:18.85
and you put your
hands in there and say okay,
00:08:18.86\00:08:21.51
water you go
over here and water--
00:08:21.52\00:08:22.89
Did you ever try that?
00:08:22.90\00:08:24.54
It's harder than you think.
00:08:24.55\00:08:26.12
And what it sounds like God
didn't do very much on day two.
00:08:26.13\00:08:29.18
We're about to discover
00:08:29.19\00:08:30.51
He actually did a great deal.
00:08:30.52\00:08:32.97
And so we discover when it
says He separated the waters
00:08:32.98\00:08:37.56
from under the
heavens from the waters
00:08:37.57\00:08:39.81
which were above the heavens,
00:08:39.82\00:08:42.36
we discover in
the world of science.
00:08:42.37\00:08:45.07
In Capital Times April
18, 1998 they reported,
00:08:45.08\00:08:49.27
"European scientists, using a
ultra-cold orbiting telescope,
00:08:49.28\00:08:53.70
have discovered
unimaginable volumes of water
00:08:53.71\00:08:57.48
in the space between the stars."
00:08:57.49\00:09:01.77
There is water out there.
00:09:01.78\00:09:03.12
We used to think
there wasn't any,
00:09:03.13\00:09:04.62
but now they
know it's everywhere.
00:09:04.63\00:09:07.31
"Continuing the discovery
of vast oceans of water vapor--
00:09:07.32\00:09:12.14
the mass of which in
the Milky Way galaxy alone
00:09:12.15\00:09:15.36
would equal that of
tens of thousands of suns."
00:09:15.37\00:09:18.37
This was taken from
the European Space Agency's
00:09:18.38\00:09:21.13
infrared space observatory.
00:09:21.14\00:09:23.99
Paul Murdin, British
National Space Center said,
00:09:24.00\00:09:27.88
"I think our
imaginations failed to describe
00:09:27.89\00:09:31.06
the variety of places
00:09:31.07\00:09:32.41
and the variety of conditions
under which we found it, water.
00:09:32.42\00:09:38.07
And so on this day two,
00:09:38.08\00:09:40.68
God is separating the
waters that are above the earth
00:09:40.69\00:09:46.07
from the waters
that are under the earth.
00:09:46.08\00:09:49.32
I like to suggest
if you're thinking
00:09:49.33\00:09:50.80
that on day one when God said,
00:09:50.81\00:09:52.34
"Let there be light."
00:09:52.35\00:09:55.17
I believe that on day one,
00:09:55.18\00:09:57.13
God created
perhaps a large spinning
00:09:57.14\00:10:01.15
mass of water to
reflect the light.
00:10:01.16\00:10:06.10
And it says evening passed
and morning came, day one.
00:10:06.11\00:10:10.87
Something was majoring
off that first rotation
00:10:10.88\00:10:15.35
of a 24 hour cycle when
God said, "Let there be light."
00:10:15.36\00:10:20.39
But on day two,
God is now separating
00:10:20.40\00:10:24.29
the waters under the earth
00:10:24.30\00:10:28.51
from the waters
that are above the earth
00:10:28.52\00:10:32.36
and He created a space
which we call firmament.
00:10:32.37\00:10:37.55
And the Hebrew
word for that is Rekiah,
00:10:37.56\00:10:39.69
and it means a space.
00:10:39.70\00:10:41.82
And he called that
space, the heavens.
00:10:41.83\00:10:45.33
Now we notice when
there is no atmosphere,
00:10:45.34\00:10:49.11
what color is the sky?
00:10:49.12\00:10:50.75
It's like on the moon,
00:10:53.36\00:10:56.02
there is no color
there at all, it's black.
00:10:56.03\00:10:58.19
Wouldn't it be fun to
look up into the heaven
00:10:58.20\00:10:59.47
and see a black sky?
00:10:59.48\00:11:01.92
Creator had a wonderful idea
00:11:01.93\00:11:03.25
when He created the
atmosphere on day two.
00:11:03.26\00:11:07.93
And so, out there in
outer space its cold, its deadly
00:11:07.94\00:11:13.08
and the radiation of
electro magnetic spectrum
00:11:13.09\00:11:16.80
would make life
uninhabitable on planet earth
00:11:16.81\00:11:20.37
if it was not for the protective
shield of the atmosphere.
00:11:20.38\00:11:27.24
Now the question
is, when God created
00:11:27.25\00:11:30.07
the first
atmosphere, what was it like?
00:11:30.08\00:11:35.49
We know in Genesis
2 verse 6, it said,
00:11:35.50\00:11:38.85
"There was no rain in
that first atmosphere.
00:11:38.86\00:11:42.85
A mist went up from
the earth and watered
00:11:42.86\00:11:46.22
the face of the whole ground."
00:11:46.23\00:11:49.34
And so when that mist went up
00:11:49.35\00:11:51.21
and watered the
face of the whole ground,
00:11:51.22\00:11:54.12
what was that first
atmosphere really like?
00:11:54.13\00:11:58.71
Well, we're not sure.
00:11:58.72\00:12:00.72
A lot of people have speculated
00:12:00.73\00:12:02.24
we know one thing
it's vastly different
00:12:02.25\00:12:04.61
than what it is like today.
00:12:04.62\00:12:06.73
And Henry Morris,
Dr. Henry Morris says,
00:12:06.74\00:12:11.57
he believes that there was a
water canopy above the earth.
00:12:11.58\00:12:16.26
That's what the Bible says,
00:12:16.27\00:12:17.34
He separated the waters
above from the waters below.
00:12:17.35\00:12:20.27
And he made a space in
between that we call firmament.
00:12:20.28\00:12:24.61
And so that water vapor,
00:12:24.62\00:12:26.34
we believe had the
ability to transform
00:12:26.35\00:12:30.35
incoming solar radiation
to retain and disperse it.
00:12:30.36\00:12:34.86
So that it would
be like a green house,
00:12:34.87\00:12:36.89
just, just a nice even
temperature of the whole earth.
00:12:36.90\00:12:40.73
And according to fossil record,
00:12:40.74\00:12:42.63
we know the earth was once
00:12:42.64\00:12:44.02
very different
from what it is now,
00:12:44.03\00:12:46.09
because we find
fossilized tropical plants
00:12:46.10\00:12:49.37
at both the
North and South Pole.
00:12:49.38\00:12:51.92
So at one time
they were very different
00:12:51.93\00:12:54.55
than the way we find them today
00:12:54.56\00:12:57.15
with nearly uniform temperatures
00:12:57.16\00:12:59.61
all over the whole
earth at that time.
00:12:59.62\00:13:01.97
The great air mass movements
00:13:01.98\00:13:03.92
such as we see today
were not taking place then.
00:13:03.93\00:13:07.84
And thirdly with no global
air circulation taking place,
00:13:07.85\00:13:13.17
there was no rain.
00:13:13.18\00:13:15.24
And no rain was falling
00:13:15.25\00:13:17.39
except possibly over
the direct bodies of water.
00:13:17.40\00:13:20.79
And fourthly with no
air circulation going on,
00:13:20.80\00:13:24.11
there was no
turbulence of dust particles.
00:13:24.12\00:13:26.59
Ladies have you ever thought
00:13:26.60\00:13:27.73
what it would be like to
try to live without dust?
00:13:27.74\00:13:30.67
But it's very
likely there was no dust
00:13:30.68\00:13:33.42
in that first atmosphere.
00:13:33.43\00:13:35.30
And so with that
uniform temperature,
00:13:35.31\00:13:38.51
it'd be very
comfortable and at night
00:13:38.52\00:13:41.65
there would be
just like a dew or fog
00:13:41.66\00:13:43.94
that would come up
and water the earth
00:13:43.95\00:13:46.53
and that
combination of warm temperatures
00:13:46.54\00:13:49.17
would mean there
would lush vegetation
00:13:49.18\00:13:51.57
all over the whole planet.
00:13:51.58\00:13:53.10
Now wouldn't that
be something to see.
00:13:53.11\00:13:56.37
And it would also be
00:13:56.38\00:13:58.25
this water vapor would filter
out the incoming radiations
00:13:58.26\00:14:02.93
of the gamma
rays and cosmic rays
00:14:02.96\00:14:07.66
and the UV rays which seem to do
00:14:07.69\00:14:10.38
a lot of damage on our planet.
00:14:10.39\00:14:14.11
That would also
increase the atmosphere pressure
00:14:14.12\00:14:16.81
if we had all that
water up there in space.
00:14:16.82\00:14:20.46
And they estimate
00:14:20.47\00:14:21.95
according to fossil
record of the dinosaurs
00:14:21.96\00:14:25.42
based on the
shape of their lungs
00:14:25.43\00:14:26.87
and how big they are
for their size of the body
00:14:26.88\00:14:29.73
that there have to be at
least two atmospheric pressures
00:14:29.74\00:14:32.73
more than what there is now
00:14:32.74\00:14:35.67
at least in the
days of the dinosaurs,
00:14:35.68\00:14:37.59
because the young,
their lungs are so small
00:14:37.60\00:14:40.00
without increase
atmospheric pressure,
00:14:40.01\00:14:42.08
they would not be
able to breathe very well.
00:14:42.09\00:14:45.16
And we know from
modern bio medical research
00:14:45.17\00:14:48.50
hyperbaric pressures
seem to increase healing
00:14:48.51\00:14:52.86
and do a wonderful
thing with healing.
00:14:52.87\00:14:56.36
And so, also later when
God destroyed this world
00:14:56.37\00:15:02.52
with a flood, that
water came from somewhere
00:15:02.53\00:15:06.65
and very likely
from that water vapor
00:15:06.66\00:15:09.26
that was up above.
00:15:09.27\00:15:12.08
And so what was
it really like then?
00:15:12.09\00:15:15.40
This is an estimate of
what it must have been like
00:15:15.41\00:15:18.85
on that first atmosphere
00:15:18.86\00:15:21.23
that God created
on the second day.
00:15:21.24\00:15:23.73
We know one thing
it was vastly different
00:15:23.74\00:15:26.48
than the one we see today.
00:15:26.49\00:15:28.10
But let's take a
look at the atmosphere
00:15:28.11\00:15:31.45
and we can see what it is like.
00:15:31.46\00:15:37.06
And so the
first level down here,
00:15:37.07\00:15:39.98
next to the ground is
what we call the troposphere.
00:15:39.99\00:15:43.42
It's about six
miles in thickness.
00:15:43.43\00:15:46.98
And this is where all
the storms rage and blow.
00:15:46.99\00:15:49.78
And that's what we
had today with some storms
00:15:49.79\00:15:53.57
coming along about
ten miles in height.
00:15:53.58\00:15:56.57
And then the next level up
00:15:56.58\00:15:58.53
is what we call
the stratosphere,
00:15:58.54\00:16:01.44
that goes up
about 6 to 30 miles.
00:16:01.45\00:16:05.41
This is where the Jets travel.
00:16:05.42\00:16:08.52
And that's what we
flew on coming over here.
00:16:08.53\00:16:11.64
And I thought about that
as I looked out the window,
00:16:11.65\00:16:13.75
wall, I'm up here at
the stratospheric level.
00:16:13.76\00:16:17.47
And at the stratospheric level,
00:16:17.51\00:16:20.25
pilots have seen
the Nile goose migrating
00:16:20.26\00:16:24.83
at that kind of a height
they catch the tailwind I guess.
00:16:24.84\00:16:29.04
And that's about the
only thing that moves up there
00:16:29.05\00:16:31.84
are some certain type of
geese have been seen by pilots
00:16:31.85\00:16:36.84
flying up there at
the stratospheric level.
00:16:36.85\00:16:40.76
And then the next level is
what we call the mesosphere.
00:16:40.77\00:16:45.35
Its 30 to 50 miles in
height up there it's very cold.
00:16:45.36\00:16:51.42
And those on the
chart on the left there
00:16:51.43\00:16:53.77
judging by the blue,
that's where it gets very cold.
00:16:53.78\00:16:57.20
And then on the sun
side it gets very, very hot,
00:16:57.21\00:17:00.52
and then of course at night
00:17:00.53\00:17:01.90
when the sun is not shining,
it also gets extremely cold.
00:17:01.91\00:17:05.85
And then the next
layer up is the ionosphere.
00:17:05.86\00:17:09.18
It goes on up to the outer edges
00:17:09.19\00:17:11.73
and then a thousand miles up
00:17:11.74\00:17:13.31
we have Van
Allen radiation belts,
00:17:13.32\00:17:15.98
which we think
produce the Aurora Borealis,
00:17:15.99\00:17:21.24
the northern lights
as they come circling in.
00:17:21.25\00:17:25.95
Now that atmosphere is
about 300 miles in thickness
00:17:25.96\00:17:29.68
and that sounds pretty thick.
00:17:29.69\00:17:31.62
But real reality is
that if I had an apple
00:17:31.63\00:17:34.44
and held it here, that
apple skin is just about
00:17:34.45\00:17:38.20
proportionate to the
thickness of our atmosphere.
00:17:38.21\00:17:42.14
And when we
realize that our atmosphere
00:17:42.15\00:17:44.90
only one percent of it
is where life could exist.
00:17:44.91\00:17:49.20
All the other 99 percent
of it, the air is too thin,
00:17:49.21\00:17:53.02
too cold, too hot to
ever sustain any kind of life.
00:17:53.03\00:17:57.06
And so the atmosphere
actually is quite thin
00:17:57.07\00:18:00.82
that maintains life
here on planet earth.
00:18:00.83\00:18:04.89
The chemical
composition of our atmosphere,
00:18:04.90\00:18:08.20
from outer space
clouds cover half of our world
00:18:08.21\00:18:13.07
at any one time and
this is the most visible part
00:18:13.08\00:18:17.08
of our earth as
seen from outer space.
00:18:17.09\00:18:21.51
The bottom layer is
called the homosphere.
00:18:21.52\00:18:24.82
"Homo" means all of one kind.
00:18:24.83\00:18:27.82
Homosphere it means all
of the lower area of air
00:18:27.85\00:18:33.67
about 50 miles up is made
up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen
00:18:34.99\00:18:41.75
and about one
percent or less of argon.
00:18:41.76\00:18:46.16
And that makes up a pretty much
00:18:46.17\00:18:48.26
a uniform part of the
air up for about 50 miles up
00:18:48.27\00:18:54.30
it's all this same kind
of a chemical composition.
00:18:54.31\00:18:59.45
However, the second part
is called the Hetrosphere.
00:18:59.46\00:19:03.58
And what that means it is varied
00:19:03.59\00:19:06.50
and it varies very greatly.
00:19:06.51\00:19:10.14
Single atoms of oxygen are
found in 50 to 600 miles up
00:19:10.15\00:19:16.84
in the atmosphere
just one atom of oxygen.
00:19:16.85\00:19:22.15
And then helium and
hydrogen make up and beyond
00:19:22.16\00:19:25.41
the 600 to 1500 miles up
00:19:25.42\00:19:29.92
and then from 1500
miles up and beyond
00:19:29.93\00:19:33.24
to the other limits
it is simply hydrogen,
00:19:33.25\00:19:37.26
which is the simplest
element with one electron
00:19:37.27\00:19:42.62
and one neutron making up
all the rest of the atmosphere
00:19:42.63\00:19:48.82
as it goes further up
right on out to the outer edge.
00:19:48.83\00:19:53.92
Now, you only
think about our clouds
00:19:53.93\00:19:55.87
we take our
clouds quiet for granted.
00:19:55.88\00:19:59.24
They move along at
about the ten mile area.
00:19:59.25\00:20:03.72
Below here some are
little high we have the Stratus,
00:20:03.73\00:20:06.37
that's the one's that
are most visible today.
00:20:06.38\00:20:09.43
They are the ones
that bring the rain.
00:20:09.44\00:20:12.59
And then we have the
Cumulus, means piled up.
00:20:12.60\00:20:15.85
And we have the
Cumulonimbus, these are the ones
00:20:15.86\00:20:19.26
when you see the
anvil head shape like that,
00:20:19.27\00:20:21.51
that usually telling you
00:20:21.52\00:20:23.01
there is a
thunder storm on the way.
00:20:23.02\00:20:25.13
And then we
have the Nimbostratus
00:20:25.14\00:20:27.38
and then we have
the Stratocumulus
00:20:27.39\00:20:29.80
and then the Altostratus
and then the Altocumulus.
00:20:29.81\00:20:34.70
And then we
have the Cirrostratus
00:20:34.71\00:20:37.40
and then there's Cirrocumulus
00:20:37.41\00:20:39.52
and finally the Cirrus
way up at the high levels
00:20:39.53\00:20:44.07
and they are as
high as cloud goes.
00:20:44.08\00:20:46.78
What we don't realize is
that these clouds are formed
00:20:46.79\00:20:50.73
at certain
levels same as we were,
00:20:50.74\00:20:53.10
I was watching the
clouds this morning.
00:20:53.11\00:20:55.35
The ones that were really low
00:20:55.36\00:20:57.16
next to they're
the Stratus ones,
00:20:57.17\00:20:58.97
they were moving
along at a tremendous speed.
00:20:58.98\00:21:02.15
But the clouds above them
are not moving hardly at all,
00:21:02.16\00:21:05.52
when you're flying
on a plane you can see
00:21:05.53\00:21:07.77
at these clouds all formed
very directly at certain levels.
00:21:07.78\00:21:12.20
And often the plane is flying
between the levels of clouds
00:21:12.21\00:21:15.80
and they are fun
to look down upon.
00:21:15.81\00:21:20.36
Well, what makes a cloud
anyway? How do we get clouds?
00:21:20.37\00:21:25.39
Up in the
atmosphere we have oxygen
00:21:25.40\00:21:29.47
that is negatively charged by
two hydrogen positively charged
00:21:29.48\00:21:35.60
and we call that what?
00:21:35.61\00:21:37.86
H2O, water.
00:21:37.87\00:21:41.06
And these molecules of water
00:21:41.07\00:21:43.69
that are in the
clouds are so small,
00:21:43.70\00:21:46.85
that you could put a million
of them into one drop of water.
00:21:46.86\00:21:51.86
They are very, very
small these molecules of water.
00:21:51.87\00:21:55.16
And this appears to be
the only primal substance
00:21:55.17\00:21:59.00
that God was using other than
sound waves to create everything
00:21:59.03\00:22:03.20
that we see in our world today.
00:22:03.21\00:22:06.44
And they are all
over in those clouds.
00:22:06.45\00:22:10.83
The Bible ask the question
00:22:10.84\00:22:12.84
"He binds up the
water in His thick clouds,
00:22:12.85\00:22:16.08
yet the clouds are not
broken under it." Job 26:8.
00:22:16.09\00:22:21.45
And, "Do you know how
the clouds are balanced,
00:22:21.46\00:22:24.81
these wondrous works of Him
who is perfect in knowledge?"
00:22:24.82\00:22:30.13
Job 37, verse 16.
00:22:30.14\00:22:33.63
And so these clouds
are created by water.
00:22:33.64\00:22:39.98
And we're going to
trace that water in a moment
00:22:39.99\00:22:42.64
and they're blowing
around by the winds.
00:22:42.65\00:22:45.69
And these are called,
some are called the trade winds
00:22:45.70\00:22:48.67
and they operate on
a very regular basis.
00:22:48.68\00:22:52.27
And you can follow
their tracks, they go.
00:22:52.28\00:22:55.63
And hot air goes up
and cold air goes down.
00:22:55.64\00:22:59.26
And you can see
the hot air is going up
00:22:59.27\00:23:01.16
and then it arches
over as it gets colder.
00:23:01.17\00:23:03.83
And then it goes back down again
00:23:03.84\00:23:05.67
and that creates
the wind patterns
00:23:05.68\00:23:07.87
that we see in our world today.
00:23:07.88\00:23:11.61
Well, what about water?
00:23:11.62\00:23:13.04
The truth is God is not
creating any new water today.
00:23:13.05\00:23:18.63
God recycles the water
that He separated or created
00:23:18.64\00:23:23.41
on that original second day.
00:23:23.42\00:23:26.81
And sometimes in modern
world today we ask the question,
00:23:26.82\00:23:30.22
how many times
can you wash water
00:23:30.23\00:23:32.68
before water ceases to wash.
00:23:32.69\00:23:35.56
You ever thought about it?
00:23:35.57\00:23:36.89
I understand in
the city of St. Louis,
00:23:36.90\00:23:39.90
by the time of
water gets to St. Louis
00:23:39.91\00:23:43.31
it's been used 45 times
before St. Louis gets to use it.
00:23:43.32\00:23:48.20
And so how many
times can you wash water
00:23:48.21\00:23:50.43
before water ceases
to wash? Good question.
00:23:50.47\00:23:54.13
It's called the
universal solvent.
00:23:54.14\00:23:56.14
It will
dissolve almost anything.
00:23:56.15\00:23:58.37
And when you
drink a glass of water,
00:23:58.38\00:24:00.53
you're actually drinking
about one molecule of glass,
00:24:00.54\00:24:05.25
that has been
dissolved in the length of time
00:24:05.26\00:24:08.70
that the water was
sitting in that glass.
00:24:08.71\00:24:12.73
And when we drink water
out of plastic containers,
00:24:12.74\00:24:16.04
you're getting a
bit of those molecules
00:24:16.05\00:24:18.45
and sometimes when it
sits there for a while
00:24:18.46\00:24:20.54
you can really
taste the plastic.
00:24:20.55\00:24:22.37
Have you noticed that?
00:24:22.38\00:24:23.56
It's a universal solvent,
it's a great cleaning agent.
00:24:23.57\00:24:26.16
I like to take you on
a little journey tonight.
00:24:26.17\00:24:28.84
The journey of the
cycle of love of water.
00:24:28.85\00:24:34.09
And so when snow falls
in the fall of the year.
00:24:34.10\00:24:36.90
And it turns our
world white again.
00:24:39.18\00:24:40.85
It begins what I
call "the cycle of water."
00:24:42.53\00:24:46.71
Water is one of
those crucial factors
00:24:46.72\00:24:48.72
for the formation of life
for both man, animal and plant.
00:24:48.73\00:24:53.93
And it illustrates
God's principle of love,
00:24:53.94\00:24:57.28
"freely we
receive and freely give."
00:24:57.29\00:25:00.35
Water occurs in
one of four forms,
00:25:00.36\00:25:03.20
it is either as a
vapor as seen in clowns,
00:25:03.21\00:25:05.38
over solid, as
seen in snow or ice
00:25:05.39\00:25:08.57
or maybe a liquid or it
can be an invisible gas,
00:25:08.58\00:25:12.72
sulfur is famous for that.
00:25:12.73\00:25:14.89
Have you ever heard of
humidity, some call humidinity.
00:25:14.90\00:25:19.26
White people would
live in a Turkish bath
00:25:19.27\00:25:21.19
I'm not sure.
00:25:21.20\00:25:22.27
You can't see it but
you sure can feel it.
00:25:22.28\00:25:24.87
And the question is how does
snow happen to fall on earth?
00:25:24.88\00:25:29.11
What journey does it
take in the mighty ocean
00:25:29.12\00:25:32.22
which is covering about 70%
00:25:32.23\00:25:34.30
or 325 million
square miles of earth
00:25:34.31\00:25:37.68
97% of the water on planet
earth is the great salt sea
00:25:37.69\00:25:43.13
and that's where
snow begins its journey.
00:25:43.14\00:25:47.20
And the scripture tells us,
"That God has set a boundary
00:25:47.21\00:25:50.36
for the ocean
00:25:50.37\00:25:53.19
"When He prepared
the heavens, I was there,
00:25:53.20\00:25:55.04
when he drew a circle
on the face of the deep,
00:25:55.05\00:25:57.88
When He
established the clouds above,
00:25:57.89\00:25:59.86
when He stationed the
fountains of the deep,
00:25:59.87\00:26:02.23
so that the waters could
not transgress His command,
00:26:02.24\00:26:05.06
He marked out the
foundations of the earth.
00:26:05.07\00:26:08.60
As the tides come and
go, the water journey begins
00:26:08.61\00:26:12.78
and will later return.
00:26:12.79\00:26:15.54
And the vast oceans,
the scriptures tell us,
00:26:15.55\00:26:19.26
"God thunders
with a mighty voice,
00:26:19.27\00:26:24.47
and He does great things
which we cannot comprehend.
00:26:24.48\00:26:27.36
And He says to the snow,
00:26:27.37\00:26:29.22
"Be on earth and
likewise to the gentle rain,
00:26:29.23\00:26:31.74
and the heavy
rains of His strength."
00:26:31.75\00:26:34.20
Job 37:5 and 6.
00:26:34.21\00:26:38.16
And to fulfill this command
00:26:38.17\00:26:40.59
God has set up the
water in a giant distiller.
00:26:40.60\00:26:45.17
And above the
oceans, clouds begin to form.
00:26:45.18\00:26:49.80
Following the
laws of thermodynamics,
00:26:49.81\00:26:53.57
heat raises that invisible vapor
00:26:53.58\00:26:56.25
that you can't see, the gases.
00:26:56.26\00:26:59.38
And when they reach a certain
height, they will condense
00:26:59.39\00:27:02.71
and then the winds will whisk
00:27:02.72\00:27:04.93
these clouds of vapor
inland towards the mountain.
00:27:04.94\00:27:08.57
And high in those
clouds a snow crystal is born.
00:27:08.58\00:27:14.01
It is so small, these droplets
00:27:14.02\00:27:16.72
that form about
a million of them
00:27:16.73\00:27:19.43
it would take to
make a single rain drop.
00:27:19.44\00:27:22.83
And these droplets will condense
00:27:22.84\00:27:24.43
around a single molecule of dust
00:27:24.44\00:27:28.29
or a bit of pollution.
00:27:28.32\00:27:32.42
And thus a snow crystal is
born of unique individuality
00:27:32.43\00:27:38.30
and it has just six sides.
00:27:38.31\00:27:41.69
How many sides?
00:27:41.70\00:27:43.44
Not five, not seven,
six, consistently six.
00:27:43.45\00:27:48.48
And that's interesting,
how do you get a consistent six
00:27:48.49\00:27:51.34
in a world that supposedly
random chance for accident
00:27:51.35\00:27:56.19
as the Roonian theory
would have us to believe.
00:27:56.20\00:27:59.84
Glaciers form at
the top of mountains
00:27:59.85\00:28:02.35
where more snow
falls than melts.
00:28:02.36\00:28:05.98
I never reach a
pack of ice pack of
00:28:05.99\00:28:08.32
about a thousand feet or more.
00:28:08.33\00:28:10.56
And some 46,000 million
square miles of stratosphere
00:28:10.57\00:28:14.12
lies under a
constant blanket of snow.
00:28:14.13\00:28:18.21
And in fact snow
covers approximately
00:28:18.22\00:28:20.96
half of the land's
surface of the planet,
00:28:20.97\00:28:23.80
at least temporarily and about
10% of the ocean's surface.
00:28:23.81\00:28:29.07
Most of the permanent snow lies
at the North and South Pole.
00:28:29.08\00:28:34.03
And three quarters of
the earth's fresh water
00:28:34.04\00:28:37.57
is located there.
00:28:37.58\00:28:40.03
And in these vast glaciers,
it is stored particularly
00:28:40.04\00:28:43.86
the waste lands
of the Antarctic.
00:28:43.87\00:28:48.21
But in the spring
time, snow begins to melt.
00:28:48.22\00:28:53.70
And it will go in to other
wavelets, water joining water
00:28:53.71\00:28:58.55
as it steadily
begins to move back
00:28:58.56\00:29:02.07
from where it began its journey
as it heads towards the sea.
00:29:02.08\00:29:09.02
Sometimes it's grid in streams,
00:29:09.03\00:29:10.63
sometimes it
stops in a pond or lake.
00:29:10.64\00:29:15.31
And then the mist rises
00:29:15.32\00:29:16.85
and this is where the creatures
00:29:16.86\00:29:18.52
created on day five were formed.
00:29:18.53\00:29:22.96
Fish, and we love
them and like them.
00:29:22.97\00:29:26.77
Some of that
water will evaporate
00:29:26.78\00:29:28.39
and go back in the
heavens, will condense again
00:29:28.40\00:29:30.85
and fall in the
form of thunderstorm.
00:29:30.86\00:29:34.18
But most of it continues
its rush towards the sea,
00:29:34.19\00:29:38.66
ever moving and sometime
plunging over waterfalls
00:29:38.67\00:29:44.04
like the giant Niagara
00:29:44.05\00:29:46.06
as it is always moving
plunging on relentlessly moving.
00:29:46.07\00:29:51.04
Water that does
not move stagnates
00:29:51.05\00:29:54.38
and becomes sort of dead.
00:29:54.39\00:29:56.75
And dead ponds as we say,
00:29:56.76\00:30:00.17
where they stagnate
are not fun to swim in.
00:30:00.18\00:30:03.43
They are not fun to be around
00:30:03.44\00:30:05.23
in order to carry its
life it must keep moving.
00:30:05.24\00:30:09.13
And finally, we all
have discovered the cooling,
00:30:09.14\00:30:14.69
refreshing part of water.
00:30:14.70\00:30:17.53
The human body is
three quarters water
00:30:17.54\00:30:20.11
and you need about
half your body weight
00:30:20.12\00:30:21.99
in ounces of water per
day to be fully hydrated.
00:30:22.00\00:30:26.44
And we loose about a
quarter of that per day
00:30:26.45\00:30:28.95
in sweat, urine and feces.
00:30:28.96\00:30:31.85
And many are walking
around in a state of dehydration
00:30:31.86\00:30:35.63
and don't even know it.
00:30:35.64\00:30:37.26
And once you begin to
really hydrate your body,
00:30:37.27\00:30:39.50
it will take
three months to restore
00:30:39.51\00:30:42.20
that hydration
back to its full level.
00:30:42.21\00:30:46.08
And according to Batmanghelidj,
hope I said that right,
00:30:46.09\00:30:50.59
who wrote the book, "Your
Body's many Cries for Water."
00:30:50.60\00:30:54.40
He says we need about a
half a tea spoon of salt
00:30:54.41\00:30:57.80
for every ten glasses
of water that you drink,
00:30:57.81\00:31:00.78
because salt is
what tells your body
00:31:00.79\00:31:03.93
how to utilize that water.
00:31:03.94\00:31:06.49
And finally as it
reaches towards the sea,
00:31:06.50\00:31:09.22
it looks rather chocolate
00:31:09.23\00:31:10.53
because it is
carrying huge amounts of water
00:31:10.54\00:31:14.78
as it moves towards the sea and
finally it returns back again.
00:31:14.79\00:31:19.92
As Ecclesiastes 1:7,
"All rivers run into the sea,
00:31:19.93\00:31:24.88
yet the sea is
not full, to the place
00:31:24.89\00:31:27.48
from which the rivers
come, there they return again."
00:31:27.49\00:31:32.89
And this giant circle
00:31:32.90\00:31:36.65
and three quarters
of the earth's surface
00:31:36.66\00:31:39.67
is covered with water.
00:31:39.68\00:31:42.48
We're not running out of water,
00:31:42.49\00:31:44.86
we might be running out of
good water or useable water.
00:31:44.87\00:31:49.58
Just don't forget, out of
all the water on planet earth
00:31:49.59\00:31:54.98
not very much of it
is actually drinkable
00:31:54.99\00:31:59.09
and so we have a
message of water.
00:31:59.10\00:32:02.76
And on day two God
said, " A bowl of water
00:32:02.77\00:32:07.16
for sure spinning and
He separated the waters
00:32:07.17\00:32:10.63
above from the waters below.
00:32:10.64\00:32:13.38
And that water
invites us to worship Him
00:32:13.39\00:32:16.55
who made the, heaven, the earth,
00:32:16.56\00:32:19.33
the sea and the
springs of water.
00:32:19.34\00:32:22.83
And all of water is at one time
00:32:22.84\00:32:25.81
or another part
of the snow cycle.
00:32:25.82\00:32:29.34
And that's why my
wife and I wrote this book,
00:32:29.38\00:32:31.22
"The Gospel
According to the Snowflakes."
00:32:31.23\00:32:33.97
You can't
believe how much wisdom
00:32:33.98\00:32:36.71
God put in one snowflake,
00:32:36.72\00:32:39.47
but there are six sides to
that pattern of divine design.
00:32:39.48\00:32:44.16
Now, atmosphere is real,
00:32:44.17\00:32:50.34
as someone said its
real air you breathe
00:32:50.35\00:32:53.34
and that really is true.
00:32:53.35\00:32:55.51
And so the question is,
00:32:55.52\00:32:57.92
what was it that God
did not do on day two
00:32:57.93\00:33:03.66
that He did on all the
other days of creation.
00:33:03.67\00:33:08.31
And have your
Bible, I just like you
00:33:08.32\00:33:10.29
to take a look
again back to Genesis,
00:33:10.30\00:33:14.49
Chapter 1 and verse 6.
00:33:14.54\00:33:15.54
Twenty brief words describes
00:33:17.46\00:33:20.33
what God made on day two.
00:33:20.34\00:33:23.30
But you notice
there is one thing
00:33:23.31\00:33:25.10
God did not say on day two
00:33:25.11\00:33:28.24
that He said on
all the other days.
00:33:28.25\00:33:30.04
That's correct.
00:33:36.10\00:33:37.77
And that was the answer
to our question tonight.
00:33:37.78\00:33:40.25
God did not call day two good.
00:33:40.26\00:33:44.43
And that might raise a
little question in our mind.
00:33:44.44\00:33:46.87
Why didn't God
call day two good?
00:33:46.88\00:33:49.86
Now, on day six, He did
look at the whole creation,
00:33:49.87\00:33:53.47
and He said,
"Behold it was very good
00:33:53.48\00:33:56.01
and that would include
what He made on day two.
00:33:56.02\00:33:59.11
But on day two He did
not call it very good.
00:33:59.12\00:34:01.94
And I'd like to
suggest for the answer to that
00:34:01.95\00:34:04.54
is found over there in
Second Peter, the third Chapter.
00:34:04.55\00:34:10.11
Second Peter 3 describes
a condition of our days
00:34:11.79\00:34:17.74
in which we
live here and verse 3
00:34:17.75\00:34:21.02
is where we want
to take it up says,
00:34:21.03\00:34:23.43
"Knowing this
first, that scoffers
00:34:23.44\00:34:24.83
will come in the last days,
00:34:24.84\00:34:26.14
walking according
to their own lusts,
00:34:26.15\00:34:27.85
saying, "Where is the
promise of his coming?
00:34:27.86\00:34:31.39
For since the fathers fell
asleep, all things continue
00:34:31.40\00:34:33.80
as they were from the
beginning of creation".
00:34:33.84\00:34:36.57
That' s called the
theory of uniformity
00:34:36.58\00:34:38.84
of which evolution is based.
00:34:38.85\00:34:40.92
And that's the idea that
everything continues today
00:34:40.93\00:34:43.15
pretty much like
it was in the past.
00:34:43.16\00:34:47.59
But then in verse 5 it says,
00:34:47.60\00:34:49.18
"For this they willfully
forget" they willfully forget.
00:34:49.19\00:34:53.66
What is that
they willfully forget?
00:34:53.67\00:34:56.45
And some one had suggested
00:34:56.46\00:34:58.51
that an atheist
cannot find God in nature
00:34:58.52\00:35:03.40
for the same reason that a
thief can find a policeman.
00:35:03.41\00:35:07.96
The issue of the
evolution creation debate
00:35:07.97\00:35:10.46
is not about better science,
00:35:10.47\00:35:13.19
it's about eliminating
morality from the classroom.
00:35:13.20\00:35:17.52
And we need to keep
that clear in our mind,
00:35:17.53\00:35:19.58
that the whole theory of
evolution today is designed
00:35:19.59\00:35:23.42
to keep morality
out of education.
00:35:23.43\00:35:26.84
They do not want a God
00:35:26.85\00:35:28.41
that they have to
give an answer to.
00:35:28.42\00:35:31.28
But we go on, "For
this they willfully forget
00:35:31.29\00:35:33.33
that by the word of God
the heavens were of old,
00:35:33.34\00:35:36.86
and the earth standing
out of water and in water."
00:35:36.87\00:35:40.19
Does that sound like day two?
00:35:40.20\00:35:42.23
By which the world
that then existed perished,
00:35:42.24\00:35:46.25
being overflowed with water.
00:35:46.26\00:35:49.08
I like to suggest on day two
00:35:49.09\00:35:50.78
when God created this atmosphere
00:35:50.79\00:35:53.77
looking ahead
with his foreknowledge,
00:35:53.78\00:35:55.86
He build in to the creation
system away to deal with
00:35:55.87\00:36:00.92
the sin problem
should it arrives.
00:36:00.93\00:36:03.87
And on day two He
created just that water.
00:36:03.88\00:36:07.96
And the Bible says, "And
the world that then existed
00:36:07.97\00:36:11.62
perished being
flooded by water."
00:36:11.63\00:36:13.45
Notice verse 7. "But
the heavens and the earth,
00:36:13.46\00:36:15.50
which are now are
preserved by the same word."
00:36:15.51\00:36:19.04
What word? The word that created
the atmosphere on day two.
00:36:19.05\00:36:23.51
"The heavens and the earth,
00:36:23.52\00:36:24.74
which are now are
preserved by the same word
00:36:24.75\00:36:27.04
are reserved for fire
under the day of judgment
00:36:27.05\00:36:30.43
and perdition of ungodly men."
00:36:30.44\00:36:33.77
And then we drop on down there,
00:36:33.78\00:36:36.55
and it says in verse 10 there,
00:36:36.56\00:36:38.38
"The day of the Lord
will come as a thief,
00:36:38.39\00:36:40.15
which the heavens will
pass away with a great noise."
00:36:40.16\00:36:42.00
And they what?
00:36:42.01\00:36:43.09
"The elements will
melt with fervent heat
00:36:43.10\00:36:45.67
both the earth and the works
00:36:45.68\00:36:47.17
that are in it
will be burned up."
00:36:47.18\00:36:49.33
And then it says,
"Since we dissolved
00:36:49.34\00:36:50.85
what manner or
persons ought you to be."
00:36:50.86\00:36:53.73
And then it says verse 12 there,
00:36:53.74\00:36:57.06
"Hastening the day
of God, because of which
00:36:57.07\00:36:58.74
the heavens will be
dissolved, being on fire,
00:36:58.78\00:37:01.71
and the elements will
melt with fervent heat?
00:37:01.74\00:37:05.26
I like to suggest on day
two God created with water.
00:37:05.27\00:37:08.27
The capacity to deal
with the sin question,
00:37:09.99\00:37:13.00
should it rise on planet earth.
00:37:13.01\00:37:16.68
And God didn't call that good.
00:37:16.69\00:37:18.40
Also you notice the
heavens would be on fire,
00:37:20.11\00:37:22.28
that same word is reserved.
00:37:22.29\00:37:24.24
And that's a clearest
description to people of hell.
00:37:24.25\00:37:27.49
Hell is not burning now,
but it's reserved for fire.
00:37:27.50\00:37:31.68
And all you got to do
those of you who are welders,
00:37:31.69\00:37:34.40
all you got to do
is separate hydrogen
00:37:34.41\00:37:37.79
from oxygen and
what do you have.
00:37:37.80\00:37:40.83
You have an alquiler,
that will burn anything.
00:37:41.99\00:37:44.97
And so God did not
call that very good.
00:37:47.03\00:37:51.20
And let's move on. What
about your personal atmosphere?
00:37:53.10\00:37:57.47
Do you have an
atmosphere around you?
00:37:58.42\00:38:00.74
I like to suggest, that
we all have an atmosphere
00:38:00.75\00:38:04.70
and it is very real.
00:38:04.71\00:38:07.28
And let's just think
about that for a moment.
00:38:07.29\00:38:09.63
What kind of a
person do you want to be?
00:38:09.64\00:38:12.96
I like to suggest
that every child of Adam
00:38:12.97\00:38:15.29
is born sort of like this.
00:38:15.30\00:38:18.39
Did you ever met
someone that was know it all.
00:38:18.40\00:38:20.29
In school, you run into him.
00:38:21.99\00:38:23.58
I have granddaughter one time
00:38:23.59\00:38:26.86
and I was trying to teach
her something about earth.
00:38:26.87\00:38:29.00
She said, "Oh,
grandpa, I know that".
00:38:29.01\00:38:30.89
And you know kids get into this
00:38:30.90\00:38:33.10
at a pretty young
level, don't they?
00:38:33.11\00:38:35.32
And some of us never outgrow it.
00:38:35.33\00:38:38.58
And so there is a know it all.
00:38:38.59\00:38:39.71
And then there is a
person who is never sorry.
00:38:39.72\00:38:41.78
Thick skin, they're
never sorry for anything.
00:38:42.79\00:38:45.25
And then there is a
person that wants everything.
00:38:45.26\00:38:47.77
Jerry take a trip
down on to covetous alley.
00:38:47.78\00:38:50.38
You know what covetous
alley, that's a shopping trip.
00:38:50.39\00:38:53.19
Covetous alley has shopping,
00:38:53.20\00:38:56.27
what we call Simpson's
series catalogues and so forth.
00:38:56.28\00:39:00.21
These are covetous
catalogues to make you
00:39:00.22\00:39:03.52
discontent with what you got.
00:39:03.53\00:39:05.66
And then you met the person
00:39:05.67\00:39:06.97
that sort of has
little philosophy.
00:39:06.98\00:39:08.95
And that is do as
little as possible
00:39:08.96\00:39:10.74
and get paid as
much as possible,
00:39:10.75\00:39:12.90
work little as possible.
00:39:12.91\00:39:14.67
And they have no
ambition to work.
00:39:14.68\00:39:16.86
Somebody said
people look for work
00:39:16.87\00:39:18.94
until they find it and
then they quit looking.
00:39:18.95\00:39:22.60
And then they are people
who are very unforgiving.
00:39:22.61\00:39:25.47
Every wrong done to
them is a major crisis.
00:39:25.48\00:39:29.94
And they are
totally unforgiving.
00:39:29.95\00:39:32.61
And then there is dishonesty,
00:39:32.62\00:39:35.37
it seems like
that's in a very air
00:39:35.38\00:39:37.13
we breathe in our world today,
00:39:37.14\00:39:38.92
and they are contentious people.
00:39:38.93\00:39:41.19
And when you're around them,
00:39:41.20\00:39:42.27
you don't have to
be there very long
00:39:42.28\00:39:43.67
and there is a fight
that will soon start.
00:39:43.68\00:39:45.53
Do you ever been run
into that kind of person?
00:39:45.54\00:39:47.45
Where they just seem like
they are just contentious.
00:39:47.46\00:39:49.92
And then there is a conformer.
00:39:49.93\00:39:51.97
The conformers, they stand for
nothing and fall for everything.
00:39:51.98\00:39:56.09
Do you met a kind of person
00:39:57.43\00:39:58.44
that has these
kind of atmospheres
00:39:58.45\00:40:00.73
that occurs we would all
look in the mirror, would we?
00:40:00.74\00:40:03.93
We're quite familiar.
What about this atmosphere?
00:40:03.94\00:40:08.26
It's created by our attitude.
00:40:09.52\00:40:12.80
I like to suggest
there is another option.
00:40:12.81\00:40:15.30
You can be born
again. Is that good news?
00:40:16.38\00:40:18.49
Good news, you
can be born again.
00:40:19.51\00:40:21.74
We have to stay
the way we were born
00:40:21.75\00:40:23.79
because of the curse
of sin that's been passed
00:40:23.80\00:40:26.43
on to all the children of Adam,
we all started out that way.
00:40:26.44\00:40:29.72
But the Bible
offers us an option,
00:40:29.73\00:40:32.30
we can be born again.
00:40:32.31\00:40:34.01
And He creates an
attitude of a learner,
00:40:34.02\00:40:37.09
they are fun to be around.
00:40:37.10\00:40:38.65
They can experience sorrow,
00:40:38.66\00:40:40.48
they can weep with those
who weep and they claim nothing.
00:40:40.49\00:40:44.87
They recognize
themselves as a steward.
00:40:44.88\00:40:48.00
They don't own anything,
00:40:48.01\00:40:49.27
they are just a
manager of the resources
00:40:49.28\00:40:51.94
that God has given them.
00:40:51.95\00:40:53.34
They have a hunger and
ambition for something better.
00:40:53.35\00:40:56.65
There is this hunger and
thirst, they're very motivated,
00:40:56.66\00:41:00.35
they are very forgiving.
00:41:00.36\00:41:02.41
They can forgive
you when you wrong them,
00:41:02.42\00:41:05.43
because they've been forgiven.
00:41:05.44\00:41:07.46
And they are
honestly pure from inside out.
00:41:07.47\00:41:09.98
You can trust their word.
00:41:09.99\00:41:12.33
And they have the
harmony of a clear conscience.
00:41:12.34\00:41:15.66
Void of offence
to either God or man.
00:41:15.67\00:41:18.32
And they have the convictions
that they can stand for.
00:41:18.33\00:41:22.02
And their
constant inner motivation
00:41:22.03\00:41:24.27
is love and joy and peace.
00:41:24.28\00:41:28.23
I like that kind of person.
00:41:30.61\00:41:32.39
You know what they are
fun to live next door to.
00:41:32.40\00:41:36.29
In fact, the honest truth is,
00:41:36.30\00:41:37.96
by the way young people
say young people are tonight
00:41:37.97\00:41:40.30
don't miss Saturday
morning at 11'O clock.
00:41:40.31\00:41:43.05
We're gonna talk about
the wonder of marriage.
00:41:43.06\00:41:45.32
Some people
wonder where it went.
00:41:45.33\00:41:47.75
We're gonna talk about that.
00:41:47.76\00:41:49.29
And these qualities
that we just looked at here,
00:41:49.30\00:41:52.74
and by the way did you recognize
00:41:52.75\00:41:54.18
what they are?
Those are attitudes.
00:41:54.19\00:41:57.95
And in Matthew 5 it
talks about the beatitudes
00:41:57.96\00:42:02.25
or attitudes of
being that the creator
00:42:02.26\00:42:06.09
wants to create in your
heart and from the inside out,
00:42:06.10\00:42:10.13
we become a new creation.
00:42:10.14\00:42:12.62
Are you excited about that?
00:42:12.63\00:42:14.06
That's what God
wants to gives us.
00:42:14.07\00:42:16.28
As there are six
sides to a snow crystal.
00:42:16.29\00:42:19.04
I'd like to
suggest there are six sides
00:42:19.05\00:42:21.16
to all human relationships,
00:42:21.17\00:42:24.29
not seven, not
five consistently six.
00:42:24.30\00:42:29.04
And these six sides are wrap up
00:42:29.05\00:42:34.79
every right that
human beings have.
00:42:34.80\00:42:38.19
And in relationships,
there are four levels
00:42:38.20\00:42:41.06
the acquaintance level,
the casual friendship level
00:42:41.07\00:42:45.64
or the close friendship
level or the intimate level.
00:42:45.65\00:42:49.48
And when you get
through the level
00:42:49.49\00:42:50.90
of marriage that's intimate.
00:42:50.91\00:42:53.85
And so we have
these four different
00:42:53.86\00:42:55.89
levels of
relationships with people
00:42:55.90\00:42:59.09
and they all have six sides.
00:42:59.10\00:43:01.58
And as you notice there,
00:43:01.59\00:43:03.35
the first right is
a right to respect,
00:43:03.36\00:43:05.87
life was passed on to
you via your parents from God
00:43:05.88\00:43:10.35
and you've the right to respect
00:43:10.36\00:43:11.99
because you're
one of his children,
00:43:12.00\00:43:14.36
not
grandchildren, children of God.
00:43:14.37\00:43:18.07
And the parents
have the right to honor.
00:43:18.08\00:43:20.21
You have the right
for that life to continue.
00:43:20.22\00:43:22.28
No one has the
right to take it from you.
00:43:22.29\00:43:24.29
And you have the
right to procreate
00:43:24.30\00:43:26.29
that life one
man with one woman,
00:43:26.30\00:43:28.69
you've to make that
real clear in today's world.
00:43:28.70\00:43:31.76
And then you've
the right to ownership.
00:43:31.77\00:43:34.47
And therefore no
one will steal from you.
00:43:34.48\00:43:36.57
And you've the right to truth
00:43:36.58\00:43:38.21
therefore no one
should lie to you
00:43:38.22\00:43:40.56
and you've the
right to be content.
00:43:40.57\00:43:42.90
I'd like to suggest
within those six sides
00:43:42.91\00:43:45.70
every freedom is known to man
00:43:45.71\00:43:48.47
and you can become everything
00:43:48.48\00:43:50.07
that God ever created you to be.
00:43:50.08\00:43:51.97
And when you have
a self denying law
00:43:51.98\00:43:54.29
that stays
within those six sides
00:43:54.30\00:43:56.42
you're fun to
live next door too.
00:43:56.43\00:43:59.07
You're fun to live with.
00:43:59.08\00:44:00.87
Now the question is
how does the Creator create
00:44:00.88\00:44:04.01
a new atmosphere in your world?
00:44:04.02\00:44:07.23
How is He going to do that?
00:44:07.24\00:44:09.32
And so, He creates it this way.
00:44:09.33\00:44:12.10
And if you have your Bibles
00:44:12.11\00:44:13.48
in Daniel the 6
Chapter, verse 10.
00:44:13.49\00:44:16.22
We discover what
was it that made Daniel,
00:44:16.23\00:44:19.83
the great man that he became.
00:44:19.84\00:44:22.29
And the first thing we noticed
00:44:22.30\00:44:24.30
as we take a look
in Daniel the 6 Chapter
00:44:24.31\00:44:27.52
and at the time this
event was taking place.
00:44:27.53\00:44:31.09
Daniel was an old man
in his 80's we estimate.
00:44:31.10\00:44:36.07
We notice there are six steps
00:44:36.08\00:44:39.44
that we want to take in forming
00:44:39.45\00:44:42.62
a new created atmosphere
and it works this way.
00:44:42.63\00:44:46.48
Number one, you need a place.
00:44:46.49\00:44:49.07
Prayer has been called
the breath of the soul.
00:44:49.08\00:44:53.14
Prayer is what creates
that atmosphere around you
00:44:53.15\00:44:57.16
and so you need a
place and Daniel had a place.
00:44:57.17\00:45:00.55
And when he was in Babylon,
00:45:00.56\00:45:01.94
he went home and he
went to a special place
00:45:01.95\00:45:05.28
in the upper room in his home.
00:45:05.29\00:45:07.17
He went to special
place through the windows
00:45:07.18\00:45:09.32
that were open
towards Jerusalem.
00:45:09.33\00:45:11.83
Do you have a place where
you talk with the Creator?
00:45:11.84\00:45:15.97
Daniel had a place.
Then you need a place.
00:45:15.98\00:45:19.20
And the Bible suggest that
it ought to be a quite place
00:45:19.21\00:45:23.37
where you can talk to
God, and God to talk to you.
00:45:23.38\00:45:26.95
Number two and it
says, he knelt down,
00:45:26.96\00:45:29.74
he was talking to the
Creator of the universe.
00:45:29.75\00:45:33.67
What attitude you gonna
have when you're talking
00:45:33.68\00:45:35.25
with the Creator of the
universe. I'm all yours.
00:45:35.26\00:45:37.77
I want to hear what it
is He's going to say to me.
00:45:39.08\00:45:43.07
And then there was a time.
00:45:43.08\00:45:44.61
The great community of the
Muslim faith five times a day.
00:45:47.46\00:45:52.61
They have a set time
where they talk to God.
00:45:52.62\00:45:57.39
Five times a day
"Allah" in their Arabic for God.
00:45:57.40\00:46:01.83
Five times a day
they talk to Him at dawn,
00:46:01.84\00:46:03.83
in morning, noon,
afternoon, evening
00:46:03.84\00:46:06.37
and then again at
night, five times a day.
00:46:06.38\00:46:09.94
And my dear
friend I appeal to you,
00:46:09.95\00:46:11.27
do you have a time
where you meet with God
00:46:11.28\00:46:13.70
a specific time you've set.
00:46:13.71\00:46:15.54
You gonna meet where
the Creator of the universe
00:46:15.55\00:46:17.80
and you're gonna talk to Him.
00:46:17.81\00:46:19.13
He's gonna talk to
you and number four,
00:46:19.14\00:46:21.36
and he prayed out loud.
00:46:21.37\00:46:23.16
At the sound of fervent prayer,
00:46:24.32\00:46:26.03
Satan's whole host trembles.
00:46:26.04\00:46:29.16
How many of you ever
had your mind wondering
00:46:29.17\00:46:30.76
when you're praying?
00:46:30.77\00:46:31.80
Do you ever had that happened?
00:46:31.81\00:46:33.19
Do you ever fall asleep praying?
00:46:33.20\00:46:34.54
I can't think it really go
sleep and go to sleep praying.
00:46:34.55\00:46:37.25
That's a good
way to go to sleep.
00:46:37.26\00:46:40.32
But let me challenge you,
00:46:40.33\00:46:43.41
talk to God out loud
in your prayer clause.
00:46:43.42\00:46:47.29
And say just all right
I don't want to do that
00:46:47.30\00:46:49.33
because I'm afraid
the devil might hear me,
00:46:49.34\00:46:51.85
well, I hope he does.
00:46:51.86\00:46:53.40
And I hope he
knows who I'm talking to
00:46:54.73\00:46:57.33
is a source of
all power and wisdom.
00:46:57.34\00:46:59.83
Are you with me? We
need that fervent prayer,
00:46:59.84\00:47:05.27
Satan's host trembles.
00:47:05.28\00:47:08.24
And we need to make
him treble morning, noon.
00:47:08.25\00:47:11.23
And David said,
morning, noon and night.
00:47:11.24\00:47:13.43
He talked with God
and he prayed out loud
00:47:13.44\00:47:17.03
and when you're
praying out loud,
00:47:17.04\00:47:19.52
it will add a
dynamic to your prayer life.
00:47:19.53\00:47:22.70
As you talk to God out loud,
00:47:22.71\00:47:26.23
you can speak God's
promises into existence
00:47:26.24\00:47:31.20
talking to the
creator who can create them
00:47:31.21\00:47:34.47
on planet earth
even in your heart.
00:47:34.48\00:47:38.27
And step five was and
it says, he gave thanks.
00:47:38.28\00:47:41.57
Prayer is not just asking God,
00:47:43.34\00:47:45.61
it's giving Him
thanks for all the blessings
00:47:45.62\00:47:48.76
that He has already given you.
00:47:48.77\00:47:51.41
In Romans 1, it says
neither do they give God thanks.
00:47:51.42\00:47:55.81
And they became too
thorough in their thoughts
00:47:57.44\00:47:59.71
and their foolish
hearts were darkened.
00:47:59.72\00:48:02.52
Prayer should
be primarily thanks
00:48:02.53\00:48:06.38
for what God has already given.
00:48:06.39\00:48:08.01
And step six was it says as
was a habit since early days.
00:48:08.02\00:48:14.62
This six step is a powerful
way that God wants to change
00:48:14.63\00:48:20.88
your atmosphere
from the inside out.
00:48:20.89\00:48:24.71
And he would do of the
world's most powerful prayer is,
00:48:24.72\00:48:28.96
"Thy will be done
on earth as in heaven."
00:48:28.97\00:48:32.45
That's part what we
call "the Lord's prayer"
00:48:32.46\00:48:35.16
as it's found
there in Matthew 6:10
00:48:35.17\00:48:37.65
and the absolute most
powerful prayer is when we pray,
00:48:37.66\00:48:41.79
"Not my will, but
Your Will be done."
00:48:41.80\00:48:44.64
That's a prayer that
never goes unanswered.
00:48:44.65\00:48:48.49
But it is extremely
difficult to pray that.
00:48:48.50\00:48:51.94
"The soul that is thus
refreshed will be surrounded
00:48:51.95\00:48:55.16
with an atmosphere
of light and peace.
00:48:55.17\00:48:57.25
And the life will
breath out of fragrance
00:48:57.26\00:48:59.11
that will reveal a divine power
00:48:59.12\00:49:01.28
that will reach men's hearts."
00:49:01.29\00:49:04.80
And from the
inside out as we pray,
00:49:04.81\00:49:07.72
God will transform your world.
00:49:07.73\00:49:11.46
We can have
heaven's atmosphere now,
00:49:11.47\00:49:14.02
even in these
sin polluted world,
00:49:14.03\00:49:16.70
even though it's
tainted and corrupted around us.
00:49:16.71\00:49:19.02
We don't have to
breathe its miasma,
00:49:19.03\00:49:21.46
but we can live in
a pure air of heaven
00:49:21.47\00:49:23.75
and we can close every
door to impure imaginings
00:49:23.76\00:49:27.29
and unholy thoughts" by how?
00:49:27.30\00:49:29.39
"Lifting the soul
into the presence of God
00:49:29.40\00:49:33.57
through sincere prayer."
00:49:33.58\00:49:36.44
And we can have
that atmosphere now.
00:49:36.45\00:49:38.69
Those whose hearts
are opened to receive
00:49:38.70\00:49:41.31
the support and
blessing of God can walk
00:49:41.32\00:49:43.72
in a holier
atmosphere than that of earth
00:49:43.73\00:49:46.66
and have constant
communion with heaven.
00:49:46.67\00:49:49.40
And in an emergency you can send
00:49:49.41\00:49:52.08
a prayer heaven
word that our thoughts
00:49:52.09\00:49:55.24
can turn is naturally to Him.
00:49:55.25\00:49:58.27
God wants to create
in your heart in life
00:49:58.28\00:50:02.12
those six sides of love
00:50:02.13\00:50:04.85
and build a relationship
with the living God.
00:50:04.86\00:50:08.81
And with the living God coming
00:50:08.82\00:50:10.60
into your heart and
life through prayer.
00:50:10.61\00:50:14.53
Then his life divine
love can flow out of your life
00:50:14.54\00:50:20.97
to those who are around you
00:50:20.98\00:50:24.77
and that light will make you all
over new from the inside out.
00:50:24.78\00:50:31.12
Let's draw a
conclusion through this message.
00:50:31.13\00:50:34.54
Prayer, prayer is the attitude.
00:50:42.68\00:50:46.26
As we looked at it,
prayer has been called
00:50:51.62\00:50:55.05
the breath of the soul.
00:50:56.39\00:51:00.18
And it's our privilege
00:51:07.42\00:51:08.93
to partake
00:51:13.25\00:51:14.69
of the very life of God
00:51:15.89\00:51:19.41
through prayer.
00:51:22.21\00:51:23.32
And like Daniel of old,
00:51:36.49\00:51:38.12
we can be in touch
00:51:44.88\00:51:48.90
with the Creator.
00:51:53.71\00:51:54.89
And in prayer we can lift
00:52:02.57\00:52:04.22
our thoughts from the
problems that plague our world.
00:52:17.01\00:52:22.97
And as we do,
00:52:33.08\00:52:34.53
our humanity is brought
in touch with His divinity.
00:52:50.01\00:52:56.42
And as we open our
will to the divine will,
00:53:06.50\00:53:09.49
that divine will
00:53:12.92\00:53:14.48
if we can have the other lights
00:53:19.01\00:53:22.39
through that
simple act of lifting
00:53:25.76\00:53:29.29
our hearts and minds heavenward.
00:53:29.30\00:53:31.34
We can bring our
weak will in touch
00:53:39.38\00:53:43.47
with that omnipotent will.
00:53:43.48\00:53:45.60
And as we do that
00:53:47.54\00:53:49.12
the Creator's will
is more than willing
00:53:50.76\00:53:53.45
to cling to our heart and life.
00:53:55.37\00:53:56.92
And he wants to
surround our world
00:53:58.28\00:54:01.13
with His selfless
divine a God pay love.
00:54:04.21\00:54:11.07
And as we pray, as we ask Him
00:54:11.08\00:54:14.29
into our heart of hearts
amidst this busy dying planet.
00:54:14.30\00:54:20.18
We can be brought in
touch for the life of Him,
00:54:21.58\00:54:26.86
whom to know his life eternal
00:54:26.87\00:54:30.13
and that life will
recreate in your heart
00:54:30.14\00:54:35.08
a self denying love
and that self denying love
00:54:35.09\00:54:40.89
that atmosphere of
heaven that a godly love
00:54:40.90\00:54:43.71
can flow out of your world
and can be brought in touch
00:54:43.72\00:54:47.94
with those who
live next door to you
00:54:47.95\00:54:50.65
and that's self
denying love will stay
00:54:50.66\00:54:54.12
within the limits
of it's six sides.
00:54:54.13\00:54:58.11
Is that your prayer tonight?
00:55:00.84\00:55:02.17
Let us pray.
00:55:05.53\00:55:06.67
Eternal Father,
that's our prayer tonight
00:55:07.80\00:55:10.05
from the heart we would open it
00:55:11.82\00:55:14.22
to your divine
will come in as Creator
00:55:14.23\00:55:18.36
and create in
our heart of hearts,
00:55:18.37\00:55:20.49
a love that we
laid on six sides.
00:55:22.59\00:55:27.13
Just way the created to be
laid with your own godly love.
00:55:27.14\00:55:33.03

00:55:33.04\00:55:34.40
and with that love
as our prayer tonight,

your holy name, amen.
