Hello there,

00:00:52.01\00:00:54.78
Broadcasting Network by way of
the television or the internet,

00:01:05.49\00:01:10.17
The Three Angels Broadcasting
Network has come here.
00:01:10.37\00:01:13.44
Pastor John Lomacang is
here with several of his
00:01:13.47\00:01:17.94
good friends here in Phoenix to
share the gospel of Jesus Christ
00:01:17.97\00:01:22.91
to talk about pathways to life.
00:01:22.94\00:01:27.05
And those of us
here in Phoenix, Arizona,
00:01:27.15\00:01:29.88
my name is Jim Hakes.
00:01:29.92\00:01:31.25
I pastor the Paradise Valley
Seventh-Day Adventist Church
00:01:31.29\00:01:34.79
that has the privilege of being
the host for this special event.
00:01:34.82\00:01:38.53
So again, those of
you in television land
00:01:38.66\00:01:40.93
or in computer
land, I bid you welcome
00:01:40.96\00:01:44.37
from the Arizona
Conference and its leadership,
00:01:44.40\00:01:47.47
and from the Paradise Valley
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:01:47.50\00:01:50.51
And we hope that you will
be here every day or evening
00:01:50.54\00:01:56.11
at this particular time as
Pastor Lomacang and his friends
00:01:56.14\00:02:01.45
share the
message of Jesus Christ.
00:02:01.48\00:02:04.19
Tonight we begin with
Pastor Lomacang's friend,
00:02:04.42\00:02:07.92
our friend.
00:02:07.96\00:02:09.29
Tim Parton will be
playing and singing.
00:02:09.32\00:02:11.39
And the song he will be
singing is, Jesus Is The Answer.
00:02:11.43\00:02:14.86
And when he is completed
that beautiful rendition
00:02:15.13\00:02:19.67
of that song, then
Pastor Lomacang will be out here
00:02:19.70\00:02:25.37
to speak to us
about, Jesus, The Way Out.
00:02:25.67\00:02:30.68
And whether you're here in
the studio, or in the church
00:02:31.08\00:02:33.72
which is the studio, or whether
you are on the television
00:02:33.75\00:02:37.85
or at the computer,
I hope and pray that
00:02:38.02\00:02:42.29
each one receives
a special blessing.
00:02:42.32\00:02:45.43
And thank you for
being here and joining us.
00:02:45.69\00:02:48.23
Jesus is the answer
for the world today,
00:03:04.58\00:03:11.12
above Him there's no other;
00:03:11.89\00:03:15.46
Jesus is the way.
00:03:15.82\00:03:19.06
Jesus is the answer
for the world today,
00:03:19.43\00:03:25.87
above Him there's no other;
00:03:26.50\00:03:30.24
Jesus is the way.
00:03:30.44\00:03:33.51
I know you have some mountains
that you think you cannot climb,
00:03:33.74\00:03:39.98
I know your days
have been so dark
00:03:40.85\00:03:44.09
it seems the sun
will never shine.
00:03:44.12\00:03:47.72
But, friend,
I'm here to tell you
00:03:48.12\00:03:51.59
that the Word of God is true;
00:03:51.69\00:03:55.46
and everything He's promised
I know that He can do for you.
00:03:55.76\00:04:01.87
So I say, Jesus is the
answer for the world today,
00:04:02.14\00:04:09.34
above Him there's no other;
00:04:09.94\00:04:13.48
Jesus is the way.
00:04:13.68\00:04:16.58
Jesus is the answer
for the world today,
00:04:17.19\00:04:23.83
above Him there's no other;
00:04:24.36\00:04:28.30
Jesus is the way.
00:04:28.33\00:04:34.04
The only hope for
the world is Jesus,
00:04:36.00\00:04:43.38
the only help for the
earth is a touch from God.
00:04:43.41\00:04:49.18
Oh how we need Him.
00:04:50.02\00:04:53.96
We must seek Him
with all of our heart
00:04:53.99\00:04:59.19
and all our soul.
00:04:59.23\00:05:00.90
There is no other help
we know than Jesus Christ,
00:05:01.03\00:05:06.50
the only hope for the world.
00:05:06.60\00:05:12.94
Jesus is the answer
for the world today,
00:05:13.04\00:05:19.78
above Him there's no other;
00:05:20.18\00:05:23.85
Jesus is the way.
00:05:23.99\00:05:27.76
Jesus is the answer
for the world today,
00:05:27.79\00:05:34.53
above Him there's no other;
00:05:35.33\00:05:38.60
I know that Jesus is the way.
00:05:38.87\00:05:44.57
The only hope.
00:05:48.24\00:05:49.91
Our only help.
00:05:52.01\00:05:53.98
Yes, I know Jesus is the answer.
00:05:55.72\00:05:59.55
I know that Jesus is the way.
00:06:00.42\00:06:06.86
Can we say amen again?
00:06:14.37\00:06:15.70
~ Amen.
00:06:15.74\00:06:17.07
Thank you so much, Tim.
00:06:17.11\00:06:18.44
I'm always blessed
to hear Tim minister.
00:06:18.47\00:06:21.41
Tonight our
message is all about Jesus.
00:06:23.14\00:06:25.91
He is the only answer.
00:06:25.95\00:06:28.35
Tonight I'm really
going to get into your head
00:06:29.58\00:06:31.95
before I get into your heart.
00:06:32.65\00:06:34.46
But I'd like to begin
with a word of prayer.
00:06:35.62\00:06:37.33
So if you'd bow
your heads with me,
00:06:37.36\00:06:39.29
we will ask for the Lord's
presence to be with us tonight.
00:06:41.46\00:06:44.50
Let's pray together.
00:06:46.40\00:06:47.74
Our loving Father in heaven,
we thank You, Lord, for the
00:06:49.64\00:06:51.74
opportunity and
privilege to open Your Word.
00:06:51.77\00:06:54.71
But open our hearts, we
ask, that Your Holy Spirit
00:06:55.68\00:06:59.61
may come and speak to
each one of our needs.
00:06:59.65\00:07:04.75
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
00:07:05.22\00:07:09.42
Tonight's message
is, Jesus, The Way Out.
00:07:10.69\00:07:13.19
Say that with me.
00:07:13.23\00:07:14.56
Jesus, The Way Out.
00:07:14.96\00:07:17.93
Our first scripture
comes from Matthew 1:21.
00:07:18.20\00:07:21.14
And I want to talk about two
very important things tonight.
00:07:21.17\00:07:25.01
Now you'll never know
how great a Savior Jesus is
00:07:25.04\00:07:30.51
until you understand
how great sin really is.
00:07:30.68\00:07:35.35
I'm going to say that again.
00:07:35.98\00:07:37.32
You'll never know how much
trouble you have been saved from
00:07:37.82\00:07:41.32
until you realize how
much trouble you've been in.
00:07:41.49\00:07:44.09
Let me say it another way.
00:07:45.09\00:07:46.43
Until you almost
got bitten by a lion,
00:07:46.90\00:07:50.07
you'll never know how
blessed you are to be alive.
00:07:50.10\00:07:52.77
Said one more way.
00:07:54.27\00:07:55.60
If you were the last one
to get on the last plane out
00:07:58.37\00:08:01.51
before a major earthquake,
you'll never know how
00:08:01.54\00:08:05.08
blessed it is
to be the last one.
00:08:05.11\00:08:07.28
Jesus is the only way out.
00:08:08.65\00:08:10.59
And tonight, for us
to understand how great
00:08:10.62\00:08:13.66
a Savior He is, in 2000
and whatever year it is,
00:08:13.69\00:08:18.86
18, 19, 20,
whenever this meeting is seen
00:08:18.89\00:08:22.03
or whenever it will be seen
again, we've got to understand
00:08:22.06\00:08:24.80
how great a Savior He is,
but how deep sin really is.
00:08:25.57\00:08:32.14
And I think that one of
the things that has happened
00:08:32.47\00:08:34.18
in our world today is,
sin has been so redefined
00:08:34.21\00:08:37.51
that they say sin
is really a gray area.
00:08:38.31\00:08:41.12
But when I read the Bible,
sin is really black and white.
00:08:41.15\00:08:44.42
So let's begin tonight
with one of the most blessed
00:08:44.99\00:08:47.26
scriptures in the Bible.
00:08:47.29\00:08:48.62
Matthew 1:21
00:08:48.66\00:08:49.99
And the Bible,
what a proclamation!
00:08:50.03\00:08:52.13
This proclamation is the reason
why we are still alive today.
00:08:52.23\00:08:56.06
Matthew 1:21,
let's read this together.
00:08:57.00\00:08:59.73
And the Bible says, "And
she will bring forth a Son.
00:09:00.00\00:09:03.64
And you shall call His
name Jesus, for He will
00:09:03.67\00:09:09.98
save His people
from their sins."
00:09:10.08\00:09:13.38
Come with me to the laboratory
of the most dangerous compound.
00:09:15.22\00:09:18.82
One drop could
wipe out an entire city
00:09:19.85\00:09:23.96
of more than a million people.
00:09:23.99\00:09:25.79
Just one drop.
00:09:26.19\00:09:27.53
When inhaled it irreversibly
alters the brain functions
00:09:28.66\00:09:33.37
in every living
human and animal.
00:09:33.40\00:09:37.97
The most advanced
scientists have not been able to
00:09:39.51\00:09:41.68
create an antidote.
00:09:41.71\00:09:43.08
And psychologists have
failed in their attempts
00:09:43.28\00:09:45.61
to reverse its
behavioral effects on humans.
00:09:45.65\00:09:50.49
I'm not referring to
VX, the agent created by the
00:09:51.75\00:09:55.99
Germans in the 1940's.
00:09:56.09\00:09:58.26
VX, simply
defined, Venomous Agent X,
00:09:58.63\00:10:01.66
which is defined today as the
most toxic agent ever created.
00:10:02.00\00:10:06.10
Used during World War II.
00:10:06.13\00:10:09.00
I'm not talking about
the most recent Sarin gas
00:10:11.01\00:10:14.64
that was released
in the subways in Asia
00:10:15.31\00:10:17.68
that had taken many lives,
00:10:17.91\00:10:19.65
and released in the tunnels
of England not too long ago.
00:10:19.68\00:10:22.88
Not mustard gas,
the most popular,
00:10:23.15\00:10:25.12
or Phosgene, the deadliest,
or chlorine, the most available.
00:10:25.15\00:10:30.06
Come to the laboratory
where the most dangerous
00:10:31.53\00:10:33.63
compound is produced.
00:10:33.66\00:10:35.03
And this most dangerous
compound only has three letters.
00:10:35.13\00:10:40.27
S - i - n
00:10:40.80\00:10:46.47
Now you might say, "Well,
he's going to talk about sin."
00:10:47.21\00:10:52.41
Let me say something.
00:10:52.45\00:10:55.02
If it were not for sin, we
would not be in the hopeless
00:10:57.49\00:11:01.92
state that our world is in.
00:11:01.96\00:11:04.69
If it were not for sin, billions
of people would not have died
00:11:06.19\00:11:10.83
as of today.
00:11:10.87\00:11:12.33
If it were not for
sin, there would be no wars
00:11:15.07\00:11:17.21
and rumors of wars, nation would
not be rising against nation,
00:11:17.24\00:11:21.11
and kingdom against kingdom.
00:11:21.21\00:11:22.74
There would not be hate
and violence of indescribable
00:11:22.78\00:11:27.05
magnitude and
proportion if sin did not exist.
00:11:27.08\00:11:30.69
So sin is far deadlier than VX,
and Sarin gas, and mustard gas,
00:11:30.72\00:11:35.09
and all the other
gases that have been produced
00:11:35.12\00:11:37.06
to be used during a time of war.
00:11:37.23\00:11:38.93
Sin is the antagonist,
the arch enemy, the adversary.
00:11:38.96\00:11:42.16
And sin has been
around a long time.
00:11:42.73\00:11:44.87
Sin lives in every community
and in every human heart.
00:11:45.60\00:11:51.41
Sin holds the exclusive patent
for every evil ever perpetrated
00:11:52.17\00:11:57.65
and every evil ever created.
00:11:57.91\00:12:01.08
As a matter of fact,
among sin's inventory are
00:12:01.68\00:12:04.79
sorrow, crying,
death, pain, lying, stealing,
00:12:05.02\00:12:07.99
greed, covetousness,
fornication, adultery,
00:12:08.02\00:12:10.79
sexual immorality,
uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry.
00:12:10.83\00:12:14.13
Shall I go on?
00:12:14.16\00:12:15.60
I will. Thank
you for permission.
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.40
Sorcery, witchcraft,
hatred, contentions, deceptions,
00:12:18.57\00:12:21.64
jealousies, outbursts of wrath.
00:12:21.67\00:12:24.27
How could one
drop of something...
00:12:24.31\00:12:26.81
How could one drop
of sin cause so much?
00:12:28.34\00:12:32.41
But I'm not done yet.
00:12:32.45\00:12:33.78
Wrath, selfishness,
self-worship, self-love,
00:12:35.12\00:12:39.59
dissension, heresies, envy,
murder, drunkenness, revelry.
00:12:39.62\00:12:44.86
Sin is tasteless.
00:12:46.70\00:12:48.26
Sin is odorless.
00:12:48.30\00:12:50.27
And sin is colorless.
00:12:50.30\00:12:52.50
But sin will terminate
your life in small doses.
00:12:52.53\00:12:57.21
Sin created racism,
but sin is not prejudiced.
00:12:57.61\00:13:01.31
It's an equal
opportunity employer.
00:13:01.34\00:13:04.58
Sin is an equal
opportunity killer.
00:13:08.75\00:13:11.12
It excludes no
one from the grave.
00:13:11.15\00:13:13.49
From the riches to the poorest.
00:13:13.52\00:13:15.26
From the most
famous to the most unknown.
00:13:15.29\00:13:17.26
Sin has claimed the lives
of the man with the most money
00:13:17.29\00:13:20.83
and the man
with no money at all.
00:13:20.86\00:13:22.90
When sin comes knocking, no
one can cancel that appointment.
00:13:23.50\00:13:28.30
Sin does not love us, like us,
and could care less about us.
00:13:29.07\00:13:32.31
Sin wants us to
hurt, cry, and die.
00:13:32.57\00:13:35.11
Sin wants us to live
divided, derided, and undecided.
00:13:35.24\00:13:39.58
And because of sin,
human actions are often
00:13:39.68\00:13:42.68
misinterpreted, human
thoughts are corrupted,
00:13:42.72\00:13:45.79
and human nature is infected.
00:13:46.35\00:13:48.66
Because the Bible
says, and here's the reason,
00:13:48.69\00:13:51.36
Romans 3:23, the Bible says...
00:13:51.59\00:13:54.36
Something that seems
to be so innocuous can
00:14:00.10\00:14:04.21
keep us all falling
short in every attempt we make
00:14:04.24\00:14:07.38
to be like God.
00:14:07.41\00:14:08.94
In our own personalities
and in our own efforts
00:14:09.14\00:14:13.15
sin always causes
us to miss the mark.
00:14:13.18\00:14:16.75
Matter of fact, on our
best day, because of sin
00:14:17.32\00:14:20.96
our righteousness
is as filthy rags.
00:14:21.16\00:14:24.93
I like to dress nicely,
but I cannot outdress sin.
00:14:25.99\00:14:30.60
It doesn't care how you look,
how you dress, how you sing,
00:14:32.30\00:14:34.67
where you live, what you have.
00:14:34.70\00:14:36.17
Sin is evasive,
it is everywhere.
00:14:36.81\00:14:39.37
Sin is responsible for every
war and every human casualty.
00:14:39.94\00:14:43.88
Sin rejoices over division
and laments when there is unity.
00:14:43.98\00:14:49.55
One would think that something
so hideous would be easy
00:14:50.49\00:14:52.69
to spot, but sin
knows how to hide itself.
00:14:52.72\00:14:55.96
Sin knows how to
camouflage and conceal itself.
00:14:56.29\00:14:59.06
It knows how to disguise itself.
00:14:59.46\00:15:01.46
Because sin has been
reinterpreted, exalted,
00:15:01.50\00:15:05.10
and embraced.
00:15:05.73\00:15:07.30
And the moral deficit
that exists today is because
00:15:07.87\00:15:10.24
the standard that defines
sin has been disregarded,
00:15:10.27\00:15:14.71
ignored, and criticized.
00:15:15.14\00:15:17.01
As a matter of fact,
statistically speaking
00:15:17.05\00:15:19.38
according to
UNICEF, sin is so pervasive
00:15:19.41\00:15:21.88
that every four seconds,
this really troubled my heart,
00:15:21.98\00:15:26.55
every four seconds sin
claims another child's life.
00:15:26.59\00:15:32.59
When I say, child, I
mean 18 years old and under.
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.90
According to UNICEF
about 29,000 children
00:15:35.93\00:15:39.57
under the age of
5, sorry, not even 18.
00:15:39.60\00:15:43.67
Under the age of five.
00:15:43.84\00:15:45.37
29,000 children
under the age of 5.
00:15:46.84\00:15:50.65
Wow!
00:15:54.88\00:15:56.22
That's twenty-one
children every minute.
00:16:00.39\00:16:04.13
More than 70% of almost
eleven million children that
00:16:08.26\00:16:12.00
die every year...
00:16:12.03\00:16:13.67
...is attributed to sin.
00:16:16.67\00:16:18.21
That's why I intended to
title this message tonight,
00:16:22.44\00:16:25.91
not to cause
you to feel despair,
00:16:25.95\00:16:28.58
but to let you
know that without Jesus
00:16:29.68\00:16:31.79
there's nothing but despair.
00:16:31.82\00:16:33.86
Matter of fact, keep
going on, I want to really make
00:16:35.32\00:16:38.03
this clear tonight.
00:16:38.06\00:16:39.66
When inhaled, sin radically
alters every human emotion
00:16:40.03\00:16:44.77
with unpredictable mood swings.
00:16:44.93\00:16:46.74
That's why when
your children misbehave,
00:16:46.77\00:16:48.97
you say to yourself,
"Where did that come from?"
00:16:49.00\00:16:51.37
Sin.
00:16:52.34\00:16:53.68
Sin is not necessarily
genetically communicated.
00:16:53.74\00:16:57.21
You can have two
children, a Cain and an Abel,
00:16:57.45\00:17:00.22
and both from the
same mother and father,
00:17:00.25\00:17:02.02
but completely
different in their character.
00:17:02.05\00:17:04.02
Why? It's not
necessarily what you've done,
00:17:04.05\00:17:06.49
but what sin has done.
00:17:06.52\00:17:08.06
Sin finds itself in
our genes, in our DNA.
00:17:08.26\00:17:11.56
When the fumes of sin
reaches the impulse center
00:17:11.66\00:17:13.86
of the brain, any
number of unpredictable
00:17:13.90\00:17:16.23
and
uncontrollable behaviors follow.
00:17:16.26\00:17:18.63
For example, sin causes
people to make offensive remarks
00:17:19.00\00:17:22.50
that they later regret.
00:17:22.54\00:17:23.94
Others demonstrate
unnatural affection
00:17:24.57\00:17:26.68
that is even
unpracticed among animals today.
00:17:26.88\00:17:30.45
Sin.
00:17:30.48\00:17:31.81
Sin makes people
falsely accuse one another.
00:17:31.91\00:17:34.62
Others become fierce.
00:17:34.88\00:17:36.45
Some people
even become despisers
00:17:36.79\00:17:39.85
of those that are good.
00:17:39.89\00:17:41.56
Why? Just because of sin.
00:17:41.72\00:17:45.49
Sin is linked to the
ever increasing murder rate.
00:17:46.06\00:17:48.63
Sin produces
distrust in the community,
00:17:48.70\00:17:51.27
instability in the marriage,
and disrespect among siblings.
00:17:51.37\00:17:55.74
Parents complain about their
children being disobedient,
00:17:55.97\00:17:58.84
unthankful, unholy.
00:17:58.87\00:18:00.84
Spouses report their experience.
00:18:00.88\00:18:03.55
Unloving attitudes,
unforgiving spirits,
00:18:03.58\00:18:05.81
and headstrong dispositions.
00:18:05.85\00:18:07.82
Why?
00:18:07.85\00:18:09.18
Simply because of sin.
00:18:09.22\00:18:11.05
The impact of sin on business
relationships have been noted.
00:18:11.75\00:18:14.86
People become
covetous, heady, high-minded,
00:18:15.02\00:18:18.66
lovers of money, lovers of
themselves, lovers of pleasure,
00:18:18.86\00:18:22.60
boasters, proud, traitors.
00:18:22.73\00:18:25.80
Heady, high-minded.
00:18:26.00\00:18:27.94
Sin has also
impacted the place of worship.
00:18:29.20\00:18:31.61
Listen carefully.
00:18:32.14\00:18:33.48
Some are lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God.
00:18:34.31\00:18:37.75
Having a form of godliness,
but denying its power.
00:18:37.98\00:18:44.79
When inquiries have been
made as to who's responsible
00:18:46.39\00:18:49.02
for sin, we have consulted
the most ancient records,
00:18:49.06\00:18:53.29
and here is what we have found.
00:18:53.33\00:18:55.43
Ezekiel walks us into
the introduction of this
00:18:55.76\00:18:59.30
insidious chemical called sin.
00:18:59.33\00:19:01.37
Ezekiel 28, speaking
about a creation that rolled off
00:19:01.67\00:19:05.51
the hands of a perfect God.
00:19:05.54\00:19:07.58
God looking at this archenemy,
this nemesis of law and order.
00:19:07.71\00:19:12.15
And these words were
penned for our admonition.
00:19:12.28\00:19:14.95
The mystery of iniquity.
00:19:37.41\00:19:38.97
I don't really
believe we'll understand
00:19:39.01\00:19:40.98
everything about sin
until God explains to us
00:19:41.04\00:19:43.68
in eternity how
this thing happened.
00:19:43.71\00:19:46.45
But how it happened is
not as real as it did happen.
00:19:48.28\00:19:52.72
And to deny its
existence is to remove yourself
00:19:52.82\00:19:57.33
from the only
antidote we have over sin.
00:19:57.36\00:20:00.93
And that is the blood
and the power of Jesus.
00:20:00.96\00:20:04.87
Revelation also
contributes to the understanding
00:20:06.03\00:20:09.34
of how sin came to this world.
00:20:09.37\00:20:11.27
When Lucifer became disaffected,
he began a rebellion
00:20:11.31\00:20:15.24
to carry on his vicious
attitude about his determination
00:20:15.28\00:20:18.95
to spread sin everywhere.
00:20:18.98\00:20:21.82
And the Bible records
this scuffle that became
00:20:21.85\00:20:26.05
a magnanimous war in heaven.
00:20:26.15\00:20:28.29
Read the scriptures.
00:20:28.32\00:20:29.66
The Bible says
in Isaiah, first...
00:20:29.76\00:20:31.73
You know, when you
look at leaders today...
00:20:41.80\00:20:43.71
Praise God for
political leaders.
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.57
But they're all weak.
00:20:45.61\00:20:46.94
And we get numbed over the idea
that the person we voted for
00:20:48.94\00:20:52.61
or didn't vote for did or
didn't do what they promised
00:20:52.65\00:20:55.68
or did not promise.
00:20:55.72\00:20:57.05
You know, it's time that we stop
putting stock in men or women
00:20:57.19\00:21:00.82
in office and start
putting stock in Jesus.
00:21:00.86\00:21:03.96
Because we think that, okay,
well this next political leader,
00:21:05.19\00:21:07.90
or this next king, or this
next ruler, or this next leader
00:21:07.93\00:21:11.93
I like their agenda.
00:21:12.20\00:21:13.54
And they will be the
answer for our nation.
00:21:13.57\00:21:15.57
The only answer for any
nation, His name is Jesus.
00:21:15.60\00:21:19.54
This war, let's go to
it. Revelation 12:7-9.
00:21:21.31\00:21:26.21
The Bible says, "And
there was war..." Where?
00:21:26.25\00:21:28.32
They didn't win.
00:21:39.06\00:21:40.40
So no matter how bad
the devil appears to be,
00:21:41.00\00:21:43.67
he cannot defeat Jesus.
00:21:43.70\00:21:46.13
"Neither was there a
place found any more in heaven."
00:21:47.07\00:21:53.38
But it continues.
00:21:53.41\00:21:54.74
You see, the
condition in the world today...
00:22:14.86\00:22:17.07
Now I want to make
it very clear tonight.
00:22:19.53\00:22:20.87
It's not because God
created an angel to fall.
00:22:20.90\00:22:24.91
But God created a
being just like you and me;
00:22:25.51\00:22:28.18
with free moral agency.
00:22:28.21\00:22:30.05
Some people say, "Well,
if God knew that Satan was
00:22:30.45\00:22:32.71
going to sin, why
did God create him?"
00:22:32.75\00:22:34.62
Well that's the same thing that
you could ask Hitler's mother.
00:22:34.85\00:22:37.95
I could imagine,
when Hitler was born
00:22:40.12\00:22:41.49
he was probably
a cute little baby.
00:22:41.52\00:22:43.29
Not picking on Hitler.
00:22:44.69\00:22:46.13
But maybe
Mussolini was a cute baby.
00:22:46.73\00:22:48.86
Or Idi Amin
Dada was a cute baby.
00:22:48.90\00:22:51.70
Maybe Charles Manson was
a cute little bundle of joy.
00:22:54.50\00:22:57.84
And the list can go on and on.
00:23:00.94\00:23:02.68
But God gave them something that
every one of you have tonight.
00:23:03.04\00:23:05.85
The intellectual
ability to decide your own fate.
00:23:05.88\00:23:08.98
The intellectual ability
to reason out whether or not
00:23:09.25\00:23:11.92
you want to live or die.
00:23:11.95\00:23:13.62
And to me, it
doesn't even make any sense.
00:23:13.92\00:23:15.39
When you consider the world
and the condition that it is in,
00:23:15.42\00:23:18.03
it doesn't
really make any sense.
00:23:18.06\00:23:20.30
When somebody is saying,
"I want to give you life,
00:23:20.43\00:23:23.23
not only
abundantly, but everlasting,"
00:23:24.00\00:23:27.17
and you say, "No, I
would rather party."
00:23:27.20\00:23:29.87
Or, "I would rather
another drink or another smoke."
00:23:33.11\00:23:36.14
Or, "I'd rather live immorally."
00:23:36.75\00:23:38.41
"I would rather that."
00:23:38.45\00:23:40.02
But the reason why we
feel that way is because
00:23:41.72\00:23:44.35
Satan deceives the
world into thinking that
00:23:44.65\00:23:48.59
what he offers is far
greater than what God offers.
00:23:48.62\00:23:53.50
And there are some
people that try religion,
00:23:56.40\00:23:59.33
and they walk away.
00:23:59.37\00:24:00.70
Religion can't change your life.
00:24:00.80\00:24:02.24
Only Jesus can.
00:24:02.27\00:24:04.01
You can be intellectually
astute about all the doctrines,
00:24:04.41\00:24:07.71
you can know the
twenty-eight fundamentals
00:24:07.74\00:24:09.18
backward and forward,
you can be a person who even
00:24:09.38\00:24:11.75
teaches it, but if you don't
have a connection to Christ,
00:24:11.78\00:24:14.88
you are just as intellectually
lost as the most educated
00:24:15.28\00:24:20.62
madman that walked the planet.
00:24:20.66\00:24:22.79
It is not
intellect that saves us.
00:24:22.82\00:24:24.83
It is the transforming
grace of Jesus Christ
00:24:24.86\00:24:27.20
that can save anyone of us.
00:24:27.23\00:24:29.36
But don't fool yourself.
00:24:29.93\00:24:31.43
We are living in a world
where Satan works every day
00:24:31.47\00:24:33.77
on coming up with something
new to deceive the world.
00:24:33.87\00:24:37.14
The world is in the condition
that it is in, not because
00:24:37.17\00:24:39.61
God made a fallen angel.
00:24:39.64\00:24:42.24
But God gave Lucifer the ability
to choose his own destiny.
00:24:42.28\00:24:46.61
And the people today that
say to me, "Why didn't God
00:24:47.72\00:24:50.55
wipe him out the
moment he decided to defect?
00:24:51.65\00:24:57.49
Why didn't God just
kill him and start all over?"
00:24:57.53\00:24:59.79
You know, there were
angels that had heard
00:24:59.89\00:25:03.83
of Satan's
accusations against God.
00:25:03.87\00:25:06.50
And the accusation was,
"If God was not so exacting,
00:25:06.53\00:25:11.94
we could do what
He asks us to do.
00:25:11.97\00:25:14.84
But God demands obedience.
00:25:14.88\00:25:17.15
And God is just
waiting to zap you out
00:25:17.35\00:25:19.65
if you step out of line."
00:25:19.68\00:25:21.02
I'm going to tell
you something tonight.
00:25:21.05\00:25:22.38
I am so glad that
is not true about God.
00:25:22.42\00:25:24.19
What about you?
00:25:24.22\00:25:25.55
Because the church would
have been, like, three members.
00:25:25.79\00:25:28.32
It wouldn't be
growing, it would be shrinking.
00:25:29.19\00:25:31.43
Amen for the grace of God,
00:25:32.69\00:25:34.43
and His mercies that
are new every morning,
00:25:34.66\00:25:37.13
and His
faithfulness that is great.
00:25:37.17\00:25:39.43
So God is not looking
for perfect individuals.
00:25:39.90\00:25:41.87
God is looking for men and
women that are willing to say,
00:25:41.90\00:25:44.74
"Lord, I cannot
resolve this issue without you.
00:25:44.94\00:25:48.01
I understand the
condition of the world,
00:25:48.18\00:25:50.11
and it's only getting worse."
00:25:50.15\00:25:51.48
It's getting worse.
00:25:51.51\00:25:52.85
Evil men and seducers
are waxing worse and worse.
00:25:52.88\00:25:55.78
The world is
getting worse and worse.
00:25:55.82\00:25:57.39
And like an old
vehicle that cannot be rebuilt,
00:25:57.42\00:26:01.29
God is going to discard this
planet one day and make it anew.
00:26:01.49\00:26:05.86
But don't fool yourself.
00:26:06.70\00:26:08.23
Tonight, Satan is come
down having great wrath
00:26:08.26\00:26:11.37
because he knows
he has a short time.
00:26:11.40\00:26:13.64
When Satan was cast to
the earth, he looked for
00:26:14.30\00:26:16.07
somebody else to deceive.
00:26:16.10\00:26:17.84
He looked for
somebody else to deceive.
00:26:18.11\00:26:20.11
And because he was defeated
in the midst of creation...
00:26:20.14\00:26:23.41
God created two
individuals: Adam and Eve.
00:26:24.38\00:26:30.12
And God did not create
Adam and Eve with immortality.
00:26:31.62\00:26:35.09
God created Adam and
Eve with the same thing that
00:26:35.49\00:26:38.39
you and I have.
00:26:38.43\00:26:39.76
The ability to
choose their own destiny.
00:26:39.79\00:26:42.43
And the only way that Adam
and Eve could live eternally
00:26:44.47\00:26:46.97
is having access
to the tree of life.
00:26:47.07\00:26:49.64
It sustained their lives.
00:26:49.67\00:26:51.24
That's why when they
sinned, the tree was barred.
00:26:51.27\00:26:54.14
And they would only
receive eternal life based on
00:26:54.98\00:26:57.45
whether or not they
would pass the test.
00:26:57.48\00:26:59.25
Now the Bible reveals the test.
00:26:59.35\00:27:00.78
Although the test scripture
is in the New Testament,
00:27:00.88\00:27:03.12
this scripture I'm
about to reveal to you
00:27:03.22\00:27:05.29
was true from
the very beginning.
00:27:05.32\00:27:06.69
Notice, Romans 6:23.
00:27:06.72\00:27:09.09
Read it with me.
The Bible says...
00:27:09.12\00:27:10.53
Adam had to face the test.
00:27:17.87\00:27:20.84
God neither forces our obedience
nor insists on our obedience.
00:27:24.71\00:27:30.55
He simply says, "I've
given you two choices."
00:27:30.85\00:27:33.18
And when you look at the
story, which we're going to
00:27:33.21\00:27:34.65
walk through, when
you look at the story,
00:27:34.68\00:27:36.69
if Adam had
only passed the test.
00:27:36.79\00:27:39.45
If Adam had
only passed the test.
00:27:40.89\00:27:43.19
Now we look back
and we lament at Adam.
00:27:43.22\00:27:45.96
We get mad with Adam.
You ever got mad with Adam?
00:27:46.13\00:27:48.16
Come one. You
ever got mad with Adam?
00:27:48.23\00:27:49.73
When you hear the
things on the news, you say,
00:27:50.50\00:27:52.37
"Adam, I mean,
what's the problem?"
00:27:52.40\00:27:54.60
Can you imagine how Adam felt
when he laid his wife to rest?
00:27:54.64\00:27:59.67
Can you imagine how Adam
felt when he lived 930 years,
00:28:00.64\00:28:05.45
and every morning he woke seeing
the result of his decision?
00:28:05.48\00:28:09.75
He probably said,
"If I had only..."
00:28:11.02\00:28:13.22
And today, many
thousands of years removed from
00:28:13.69\00:28:17.06
that bad decision, we
are at the same place.
00:28:17.09\00:28:21.53
And we fail to make the other
decision that Adam did not make.
00:28:23.37\00:28:27.24
But God had to test Adam.
00:28:28.14\00:28:29.70
Let's go ahead
and look at the test.
00:28:29.80\00:28:31.37
God warned Adam that
this nerve agent called sin
00:28:31.41\00:28:35.41
was in the garden and was
waiting for another victim.
00:28:35.44\00:28:38.68
Let's look together at
the story as it unfolds.
00:28:38.71\00:28:41.35
Genesis 2:16-17,
the Bible says...
00:28:41.92\00:28:44.55
Now think about that.
00:28:51.06\00:28:52.39
Sometimes as Christians the
world tries to make you feel
00:28:52.43\00:28:54.73
that you can't do anything.
00:28:54.76\00:28:56.10
But the Bible says,
"...of every tree..."
00:28:56.13\00:28:58.17
How many people do you know
that invite you to their house
00:28:58.33\00:29:01.10
and say, "You
can eat everything."
00:29:01.14\00:29:02.60
Think about it.
00:29:04.91\00:29:06.24
They say, "There's only
one thing you can't eat,
00:29:06.37\00:29:07.94
but everything
else you can have."
00:29:07.98\00:29:09.61
"Of every tree of the
garden you may freely eat."
00:29:10.55\00:29:13.48
And I want to make a point here.
00:29:27.20\00:29:28.63
When Adam was at the point of
test between choosing obedience
00:29:29.33\00:29:32.73
and disobedience, Adam
did not make that choice
00:29:32.77\00:29:35.67
ignorant of its consequences.
00:29:35.70\00:29:37.67
I've grown up to learn that we
are not ignorant of the choices
00:29:39.44\00:29:44.41
we make or the consequences,
we just ignore it thinking that
00:29:44.45\00:29:47.95
we are an exception to the rule.
00:29:47.98\00:29:49.78
"I'm not going to get cancer.
00:29:52.25\00:29:53.66
I'm just going to
try this drug out.
00:29:54.99\00:29:56.49
It's not going to affect me.
00:29:56.52\00:29:57.86
I know people get brain
cancer from it, but not me."
00:29:57.89\00:30:00.50
Adam was completely
aware of the consequences.
00:30:02.03\00:30:04.80
And so look at the test.
00:30:05.13\00:30:06.60
Look at the test.
00:30:06.63\00:30:07.97
This is amazing.
00:30:18.68\00:30:20.02
The woman went to the tree
00:30:20.05\00:30:21.48
because the tree
couldn't come to her.
00:30:21.52\00:30:23.69
We often find ourselves
in the predicament we're in
00:30:24.12\00:30:26.86
because we go looking for
what God prohibits us from.
00:30:26.89\00:30:31.36
It doesn't come to find us.
00:30:31.63\00:30:33.19
The club doesn't come
to you; you go to the club.
00:30:33.23\00:30:36.67
We go looking for what
our human nature desires.
00:30:37.97\00:30:40.87
And when you study
sin, the word, "desire,"
00:30:40.90\00:30:43.04
is a powerful thing.
00:30:43.07\00:30:44.91
The word, "desire,"
is a powerful thing.
00:30:45.11\00:30:47.48
Desire is like the
seed, the seed that determines
00:30:47.51\00:30:50.75
what the next
action is going to be.
00:30:50.78\00:30:52.38
Desire activates the will.
00:30:52.41\00:30:54.78
And the will makes the decision.
00:30:54.82\00:30:56.52
And the decision that the
will makes now causes your body
00:30:56.75\00:30:59.39
to move in the
direction of your desire.
00:30:59.42\00:31:02.42
So she desired to find out
what God prohibited her from.
00:31:03.09\00:31:06.80
And so now she's having a
conversation with the agent
00:31:07.40\00:31:10.33
of sin, and he's
camouflaging himself.
00:31:10.37\00:31:15.47
And he begins with the question,
"Has God indeed said..."
00:31:15.64\00:31:18.34
And tomorrow night we're
going to talk about the message,
00:31:18.37\00:31:20.21
or tomorrow, the next
meeting is going to be,
00:31:20.24\00:31:21.68
The Book That Breathes.
00:31:22.88\00:31:24.21
You'll discover he
attacked her on what the
00:31:24.25\00:31:26.51
word of God had said.
00:31:26.55\00:31:28.15
"Has God indeed said...
00:31:28.18\00:31:30.49
...you shall not eat of
every tree of the garden?"
00:31:31.12\00:31:33.22
And the woman responded.
00:31:33.25\00:31:34.59
"And the woman
said to the serpent..."
00:31:34.62\00:31:36.12
I use to think that
the woman had departed from
00:31:47.64\00:31:50.21
what God had said, because He
didn't really say, "touch it."
00:31:50.24\00:31:52.71
But as I studied that
further in the Hebrew,
00:31:53.78\00:31:55.64
just recently I studied
this further, what the Hebrew
00:31:55.68\00:31:59.25
writers say is that Eve was
so certain that she must avoid
00:31:59.28\00:32:04.92
any connection with
sin at all that she said,
00:32:04.95\00:32:08.66
"I don't even want to touch it."
00:32:08.69\00:32:10.39
She was fully convinced in
her mind that even touching it
00:32:11.86\00:32:15.70
would result in the
same thing as eating it.
00:32:16.56\00:32:20.07
So she said, "God
said don't even touch it."
00:32:20.47\00:32:22.50
She was emphasizing
what she knew God had meant.
00:32:25.71\00:32:28.84
But the devil came back with
the lie that has sunk the world.
00:32:29.61\00:32:33.11
I want you to think
about that for a moment.
00:32:43.39\00:32:44.79
"You will not surely die."
00:32:44.83\00:32:46.70
In the Hebrew,
it's more like this:
00:32:46.83\00:32:48.76
The devil didn't say to her,
00:32:48.80\00:32:50.27
"I am not sure
that you will die,"
00:32:50.30\00:32:52.30
or, "I'm not really sure
that it will affect you."
00:32:52.33\00:32:55.04
He says, "You
surely will not die."
00:32:55.07\00:32:56.97
In other words, "I'm
sure you're not going to die."
00:32:57.01\00:32:59.17
And so many people have
found themselves in predicaments
00:32:59.34\00:33:03.08
because they did not believe
that the next action would
00:33:03.11\00:33:06.51
result in their death.
00:33:06.55\00:33:08.38
I can tell you
stories about friends
00:33:08.85\00:33:10.82
that would be alive today.
00:33:12.29\00:33:13.66
One friend of mine when I
was in junior high school,
00:33:13.69\00:33:15.99
he played hooky from school.
00:33:16.66\00:33:18.23
It was during the early
part of winter in New York City.
00:33:18.56\00:33:21.10
And he went to one of
those very famous parks.
00:33:21.13\00:33:22.76
You may have
heard of Prospect Park.
00:33:22.80\00:33:24.13
You have to be from New York
to know what I'm talking about.
00:33:24.17\00:33:26.27
I can't doubt that people leave
New York and come to Arizona,
00:33:27.37\00:33:30.31
but just in case
you are a New Yorker
00:33:30.34\00:33:32.44
you may have heard
about Prospect Park.
00:33:33.24\00:33:34.81
In Prospect Park when
the winter months come around
00:33:34.84\00:33:37.31
often times the lakes freeze.
00:33:37.88\00:33:40.78
But it depends on
the temperature drop.
00:33:41.08\00:33:43.39
My good friend by the name
of Albert, I never forgot that.
00:33:43.42\00:33:47.09
Because it was during the
time when Simon and Garfunkel
00:33:47.12\00:33:49.92
had just released the song,
Bridge Over Troubled Water.
00:33:49.96\00:33:52.89
I went to visit Albert's house.
00:33:54.06\00:33:56.26
And his mom said he wasn't home.
00:33:56.50\00:33:58.10
And we heard not
too long after that
00:33:58.13\00:33:59.93
that Albert had
played hooky from school,
00:34:00.14\00:34:03.24
he and two other friends,
and they were walking across
00:34:03.27\00:34:05.71
the lake in Prospect
Park and the ice broke,
00:34:05.74\00:34:08.18
and Albert drowned that day.
00:34:08.21\00:34:10.51
Now do you think Albert
went to drown himself that day?
00:34:11.38\00:34:14.48
Don't you think Albert
said, "I surely will not drown.
00:34:14.52\00:34:18.32
Not me, I'm Albert."
00:34:18.35\00:34:20.32
People often expose
themselves to dangers
00:34:22.92\00:34:25.19
completely conscious of
what the end result could be,
00:34:25.43\00:34:28.13
but they always think,
"It's not going to be me."
00:34:28.16\00:34:30.47
Another good friend of mine...
00:34:32.60\00:34:33.94
I could tell you so many
stories but time doesn't permit.
00:34:34.27\00:34:36.20
The point of the matter is, he
said to Eve, "You will not die."
00:34:36.24\00:34:39.27
"You will not die."
00:34:39.31\00:34:40.64
And look at what he
further said to her in verse 5.
00:34:40.68\00:34:42.18
"For God knows..."
00:34:42.21\00:34:43.55
In other words, God
knows something that
00:34:43.58\00:34:44.91
He doesn't want to tell you.
00:34:44.95\00:34:46.28
Brothers and sisters, if
God hasn't told it to us,
00:34:46.41\00:34:49.22
we don't need to know it.
00:34:49.25\00:34:50.59
The secret things belong to
the Lord, but those things that
00:34:51.45\00:34:54.56
are revealed belong to
us and to our children.
00:34:54.59\00:34:56.93
That's why whenever I
do Revelation seminars,
00:34:56.96\00:34:58.69
when people ask me,
"What race was Adam?
00:34:58.73\00:35:01.13
What was his skin color?"
00:35:01.76\00:35:03.33
I say, "Every color."
00:35:03.57\00:35:05.27
From one blood came all nations.
00:35:07.37\00:35:09.14
Amen, you multi-cultural crowd.
00:35:09.17\00:35:11.77
We only have one Father.
00:35:12.21\00:35:13.61
Different
mothers, but one Father.
00:35:14.61\00:35:16.54
What relevance is the color of
Adam to salvation's decisions?
00:35:17.81\00:35:22.38
And then they ask
the other question,
00:35:24.45\00:35:25.79
"Well, if there was
only one man and one woman,
00:35:25.82\00:35:28.36
well who did Adam's
children have children with?"
00:35:28.46\00:35:31.79
What does that have
to do with you today?
00:35:31.99\00:35:33.76
What does that have to
do with your salvation?
00:35:35.76\00:35:37.43
What does that have to do with
you deciding to follow Jesus?
00:35:37.47\00:35:40.14
Nothing.
00:35:40.17\00:35:41.50
He said to the woman,
"God knows that in the day
00:35:42.97\00:35:45.47
you eat of it your
eyes will be opened..."
00:35:45.51\00:35:46.94
Sin does open your
eyes, but I can tell you this:
00:35:46.98\00:35:49.74
When sin opens your eye, you
really don't like what you see.
00:35:49.94\00:35:53.62
"...you'll be like
God, knowing good and evil."
00:35:56.72\00:36:00.36
Lord, I wish we
did not know evil.
00:36:00.39\00:36:02.22
What about you?
00:36:02.26\00:36:03.59
So the woman fell for it.
She got a little bit of it.
00:36:03.93\00:36:05.79
She said, "Well
that sounds good.
00:36:05.83\00:36:07.53
God didn't show me His menu,
00:36:07.93\00:36:09.26
but at least you
told me about your menu.
00:36:09.30\00:36:10.63
So what's on the menu?"
00:36:10.67\00:36:12.00
So the woman looked at
the menu, and she said...
00:36:12.03\00:36:13.54
And I can hear God saying,
"Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam."
00:36:31.92\00:36:35.89
One writer said...
00:36:43.26\00:36:44.60
Well I won't quote
that writer because
00:36:47.14\00:36:48.54
it's irrelevant to the point,
and it will take you away.
00:36:48.57\00:36:51.97
Eve was deceived.
00:36:52.84\00:36:54.88
Hear me carefully.
00:36:54.91\00:36:56.24
But Adam, being given
stewardship of the earth,
00:36:56.34\00:37:01.02
opened the door
to sin consciously.
00:37:01.22\00:37:04.29
Romans 5:12 says it this way.
00:37:06.32\00:37:08.46
From a baby.
00:37:22.94\00:37:24.27
Now a baby is not a sinner,
but a baby has a sin nature.
00:37:24.31\00:37:29.38
Let me make this very clear.
00:37:29.41\00:37:30.78
When I go back to
Hitler, when Hitler was born
00:37:31.68\00:37:34.58
he didn't say, "Mom, I have a
plan to kill six million Jews."
00:37:34.62\00:37:37.62
He couldn't even talk.
00:37:37.65\00:37:38.99
But he had a sin
nature that was unregenerated.
00:37:40.66\00:37:42.89
He had a sin nature
that wasn't working.
00:37:42.92\00:37:44.86
He had a sin nature that
if untrained and unguided,
00:37:44.89\00:37:50.30
it will lead him in
the wrong direction.
00:37:50.67\00:37:52.67
And so she decided
to take of this tree.
00:37:52.70\00:37:55.10
And she gave to her husband.
00:37:55.14\00:37:56.54
And then they
both fell into sin.
00:37:56.57\00:37:58.51
And what happened? Genesis 3:7-8
00:37:59.67\00:38:02.54
That's exactly
what sin does to us.
00:38:07.75\00:38:09.48
It exposes you.
00:38:09.52\00:38:11.05
"...and they sewed
fig leaves together and
00:38:11.45\00:38:13.05
made themselves covering."
00:38:13.09\00:38:14.66
You know what that means when
it says, "They sewed fig leaves
00:38:14.92\00:38:16.52
together and made
themselves covering."?
00:38:16.56\00:38:18.26
They sewed fig leaves together.
00:38:18.29\00:38:20.16
Fig leaves is a representation
of righteousness that
00:38:20.40\00:38:24.43
we believe is a substitute
for God's righteousness.
00:38:24.47\00:38:28.00
And it always is less of an...
00:38:28.20\00:38:30.94
Let me say it this way.
00:38:31.64\00:38:32.97
Sin... The clothing...
00:38:33.01\00:38:35.34
Let me say it right.
00:38:35.98\00:38:37.31
We could never provide
righteousness better than
00:38:37.88\00:38:40.98
the righteousness of God.
00:38:41.02\00:38:42.75
The Bible said fig leaves.
00:38:43.72\00:38:45.62
Little...
00:38:45.85\00:38:47.19
Eve, according to the
figures that I have discovered,
00:38:48.19\00:38:53.03
Eve had to be
about 14 to 16 feet tall
00:38:53.06\00:38:56.93
and a petite 1200 pounds.
00:38:56.97\00:38:59.33
Imagine Eve in fig leaves.
00:39:00.67\00:39:03.41
And Adam...
00:39:07.08\00:39:08.41
As one pastor said,
Eve worked hard to keep her
00:39:09.34\00:39:12.38
weight down to 1200 pounds.
00:39:12.41\00:39:14.25
And Adam about
19 to 21 feet tall.
00:39:17.15\00:39:19.49
This big super human
walking around the garden
00:39:19.52\00:39:22.12
with fig leaves on.
00:39:22.16\00:39:23.49
And God said,
"This is ridiculous."
00:39:23.53\00:39:25.13
But that's what sin
does; it makes coverings.
00:39:26.66\00:39:28.80
It makes coverings that
are always insufficient for the
00:39:28.96\00:39:31.30
righteousness of Jesus.
00:39:31.33\00:39:32.67
If you ever decide on
your own righteousness,
00:39:32.70\00:39:35.30
read this verse.
00:39:35.40\00:39:36.74
And you'll discover that all you
will come up with is fig leaves.
00:39:37.71\00:39:40.91
But the Bible
continues. Verse 8.
00:39:41.31\00:39:43.18
That's what sin does.
00:39:53.52\00:39:54.89
"...from the
presence of the Lord God
00:40:01.76\00:40:03.23
among the trees of the garden."
00:40:03.26\00:40:04.60
Ask yourself, is there any
place that we can hide from God?
00:40:05.17\00:40:08.40
There's absolutely nowhere
that we can hide from God.
00:40:09.97\00:40:12.64
The symptoms of
sin makes us hide.
00:40:12.67\00:40:15.74
But God doesn't need a
GPS to find His children.
00:40:15.78\00:40:21.35
David the psalmist says,
even darkness is light to God.
00:40:21.58\00:40:27.99
And he also says, "If I
go to the uttermost parts
00:40:31.49\00:40:33.50
of heaven, You're there.
00:40:33.53\00:40:34.86
If I make my bed in
the grave, You're there.
00:40:34.90\00:40:36.70
If I go to the depths
of the sea, You're there."
00:40:36.73\00:40:38.57
There's no place
that God cannot find us.
00:40:38.60\00:40:42.80
And the Bible says they
sewed fig leaves together.
00:40:43.97\00:40:45.91
And the pronouncement of
judgment on them for this sin
00:40:45.94\00:40:48.24
was a terrible thing,
because women today would not
00:40:48.28\00:40:51.15
be going through
what they go through
00:40:51.58\00:40:53.78
if Eve had not been disobedient.
00:40:53.82\00:40:56.02
Because of her disobedience,
the Lord said to the woman,
00:40:57.89\00:41:00.02
"To the woman He said, 'I will
greatly multiply your sorrow
00:41:00.06\00:41:02.32
and your conception...'"
00:41:02.36\00:41:03.69
And get this. This is powerful.
00:41:06.13\00:41:08.03
I'll spend some time one
day to really unwrap this.
00:41:08.06\00:41:10.27
But it says...
00:41:10.30\00:41:11.63
Let me take a minute
and try to communicate this.
00:41:14.67\00:41:16.57
"Your desire shall
be for your husband,
00:41:16.60\00:41:19.34
and he shall rule..."
00:41:19.37\00:41:21.24
In other words,
who's the one in control,
00:41:21.28\00:41:22.84
the woman or the husband?
00:41:22.88\00:41:24.21
When you read Romans 7,
the Bible talks about the
00:41:24.58\00:41:27.22
woman is bound by the law to
her husband as long as he lives.
00:41:27.25\00:41:30.12
Here's the point.
00:41:30.15\00:41:31.49
It's far deeper than just
a physical man named Adam.
00:41:31.52\00:41:33.92
The husband that is talked
about there is the sin nature.
00:41:34.02\00:41:37.33
If our desire is
for the sin nature,
00:41:37.53\00:41:41.10
the sin nature
is in control of us.
00:41:41.13\00:41:43.23
Not the other way around.
00:41:43.26\00:41:44.80
Romans 6:16, "Do you
not know that to whom you
00:41:46.43\00:41:48.90
yield yourselves as servants to
obey, you are that one's slave
00:41:48.94\00:41:52.71
whom you obey, whether
of sin leading to death
00:41:52.74\00:41:55.28
or of obedience
leading to righteousness?"
00:41:55.31\00:41:57.95
Once we decide who
to yield to, that power
00:41:58.18\00:42:02.02
takes us over immediately.
00:42:02.05\00:42:04.85
And we have no
say in what we do.
00:42:04.99\00:42:07.59
That's why the only thing we
have the power to do is choose.
00:42:08.19\00:42:10.46
To do what?
00:42:10.49\00:42:11.83
Choose. That's it.
00:42:11.86\00:42:13.19
All we've been given
is the power to choose.
00:42:13.23\00:42:14.80
When you choose, Romans 7:17,
the Bible says Paul, looking at
00:42:14.90\00:42:18.60
his condition, he said,
"It is no longer I who do it,
00:42:18.63\00:42:21.84
but sin that dwells in me."
00:42:21.87\00:42:24.01
And sin will make you do what
you thought you would never do.
00:42:24.04\00:42:28.44
But when you yield to Christ,
it is no longer I who lives,
00:42:29.28\00:42:32.91
but Christ who lives in me.
00:42:32.95\00:42:34.48
Amen, somebody.
00:42:34.52\00:42:35.85
Sin will make you do what you
never thought you would ever do.
00:42:35.88\00:42:38.75
But Jesus causes you
to live how you thought
00:42:38.79\00:42:41.49
you could never live.
00:42:41.52\00:42:42.99
What's the difference?
00:42:44.39\00:42:45.73
It depends on
which power you choose.
00:42:45.76\00:42:47.46
It depends on
which power you choose.
00:42:47.86\00:42:49.56
From the sin of Eve, every
woman that is given a child
00:42:49.93\00:42:53.44
has born a child in some
kind of pain or the other.
00:42:53.47\00:42:57.31
And men have been, ever
since that day men have been
00:43:00.11\00:43:02.31
trying to find a job
that don't make them sweat.
00:43:02.34\00:43:04.91
But here's what the Bible says.
00:43:05.78\00:43:07.25
Genesis 3:19
00:43:07.62\00:43:08.95
To dust you shall return.
00:43:19.59\00:43:21.16
Not to heaven.
00:43:21.20\00:43:22.53
And I'll talk about
that in a few nights.
00:43:22.56\00:43:23.90
But to dust.
00:43:24.07\00:43:25.40
Adam not only
affected his standing with God,
00:43:25.57\00:43:27.77
he impacted every child that
would ever be born on the earth.
00:43:28.64\00:43:32.07
In other words, his
DNA of sin was passed on to
00:43:32.11\00:43:35.21
everybody in here tonight.
00:43:35.24\00:43:36.85
Every one of us
has the DNA of Adam.
00:43:37.28\00:43:39.78
That's sin DNA.
00:43:40.95\00:43:42.58
That in the midst of a song
in church, a terrible thought
00:43:43.28\00:43:46.32
comes to our mind and messes
up our worship experience.
00:43:46.35\00:43:49.12
The DNA of Adam.
00:43:49.16\00:43:51.96
The DNA of Adam makes us
pray, and the moment the prayer
00:43:52.96\00:43:56.53
is done and we see somebody
on the other side of the aisle
00:43:56.56\00:43:59.03
that we don't like, it
just messes up the way we feel.
00:43:59.07\00:44:02.37
The DNA of Adam.
00:44:02.40\00:44:03.91
The DNA of sin.
00:44:03.97\00:44:05.31
Aren't you looking
forward when the DNA of sin
00:44:05.34\00:44:08.54
will be forever replaced
with the DNA of righteousness?
00:44:08.58\00:44:12.25
What was the
impact on Adam's life?
00:44:16.85\00:44:19.29
Why? 1 Corinthians 15:22
00:44:26.49\00:44:29.30
"For as in Adam, all
die; even so, in Christ..."
00:44:29.53\00:44:34.44
All shall be made alive.
00:44:38.47\00:44:41.91
If I were to split this
audience down the middle,
00:44:42.11\00:44:44.75
which I won't do tonight, but
in reality when you think about
00:44:45.51\00:44:49.62
the right, on the
right hand of God there are
00:44:49.65\00:44:51.65
pleasures forever more.
00:44:51.69\00:44:53.02
On the left side are the goats.
00:44:53.05\00:44:54.66
On the right side are the sheep.
00:44:54.69\00:44:56.32
You know, you can
always tell a goat,
00:44:56.42\00:44:57.96
because goats
"but" all the time.
00:44:57.99\00:45:00.96
"I would keep
the Sabbath, but..."
00:45:02.06\00:45:04.33
"I would give my
life to Jesus, but..."
00:45:06.53\00:45:09.07
"I want to do
what's right, but..."
00:45:12.27\00:45:14.51
And the sheep just
hears the Shepherd's voice,
00:45:15.94\00:45:20.02
knows the Shepherd's voice,
00:45:20.52\00:45:23.02
and follows the
voice of the Shepherd.
00:45:23.25\00:45:26.19
Adam lived 930
years, and he died.
00:45:27.29\00:45:29.76
He lived 930; Seth,
912; Enosh, 905; Cainan, 910;
00:45:30.03\00:45:34.53
Mahalalel, 895; Jared, 962;
Methuselah, 969; Lamech, 777;
00:45:34.56\00:45:41.70
Noah, 950.
00:45:41.74\00:45:43.07
Adam's family line.
00:45:43.10\00:45:44.44
Shem, 500;
Nahor, 119; Serug, 200.
00:45:44.47\00:45:50.61
Sin has robbed us of life.
00:45:50.65\00:45:53.01
Today if we live to be 100
years, we get excited about it.
00:45:53.05\00:45:58.02
And we ought to.
00:45:58.45\00:45:59.79
But can you imagine what
kind of sin could be produced
00:46:02.96\00:46:06.96
if somebody today,
if a drug dealer today
00:46:07.00\00:46:09.73
lived to be 950 years old?
00:46:09.76\00:46:12.53
Now you see why God allowed
sin to depreciate our age?
00:46:13.47\00:46:16.71
Can you imagine if
Hitler was 745 before he died
00:46:17.31\00:46:20.84
and he was perpetrating
evil for that length of time?
00:46:20.98\00:46:23.71
It's the sovereignty and
the love of God that causes
00:46:24.35\00:46:26.95
sin to be shortened, and
shortened, and shortened.
00:46:26.98\00:46:29.28
And I believe one of the
reasons why God does that
00:46:29.38\00:46:31.95
is because He loves
His creation so much
00:46:31.99\00:46:34.42
He will not give sin
total dominance over creation.
00:46:34.62\00:46:38.96
Amen?
00:46:39.26\00:46:40.60
He wouldn't do
it. He wouldn't do it.
00:46:40.63\00:46:42.06
David the psalmist writes
these words about our lives.
00:46:42.10\00:46:44.17
And this is a sobering text,
00:46:44.20\00:46:45.80
because it uses
the word, "seventy."
00:46:46.13\00:46:48.00
Well, let's not
mess with that tonight.
00:46:48.04\00:46:50.17
To understand that, read
the beginning of 1 Kings.
00:46:55.71\00:46:59.88
When David was advanced
in years, the Bible said
00:47:00.28\00:47:02.52
he was 70 years old.
00:47:02.55\00:47:04.12
When he called his
son Solomon to reign
00:47:04.42\00:47:06.19
in his stead, he was only 70.
00:47:06.22\00:47:07.79
Now 70 is not a bad age.
00:47:07.82\00:47:10.09
The young people
are not saying anything.
00:47:15.03\00:47:16.73
That's what a
vapor does. Flies away.
00:47:30.11\00:47:32.41
Look at the kettle tonight
when you make something hot
00:47:32.45\00:47:34.58
before you go to bed.
00:47:34.62\00:47:35.95
Just stand there
and look at the vapor.
00:47:35.98\00:47:37.32
Where does it go?
It just flies away.
00:47:37.42\00:47:39.72
That's life.
00:47:39.95\00:47:41.29
It's so fleeting in this life.
00:47:41.32\00:47:42.66
That's why tonight,
Jesus is the only way out.
00:47:42.69\00:47:45.76
I can get an amen somewhere?
00:47:45.86\00:47:47.46
The only way out.
00:47:47.73\00:47:49.36
When crime and
violence is at its height,
00:47:49.40\00:47:52.03
Jesus is the only way out.
00:47:52.07\00:47:54.44
When the grave...
00:47:54.54\00:47:55.87
My sister has seen so
many of her friends die
00:47:55.90\00:47:58.47
because of 9/11 at
the World Trade Center.
00:47:58.51\00:48:00.94
She said to me, she
said, "John, I could retire
00:48:01.04\00:48:03.65
just out of shear agony from
all the funerals I attended."
00:48:03.68\00:48:08.32
But she's still alive to
this day because my wife and I
00:48:08.85\00:48:11.22
pray for her every day.
00:48:11.25\00:48:13.12
She left the
church at 16 years old.
00:48:13.72\00:48:15.49
And I'm praying every day,
"Father, give her more time
00:48:15.52\00:48:18.73
that she can come
back before the sin problem
00:48:19.49\00:48:22.63
is forever resolved."
00:48:22.66\00:48:24.83
Praying for her to come back.
00:48:24.87\00:48:26.37
And God, in His sovereignty,
allowed her to stay home
00:48:26.63\00:48:29.40
on September 10th and go to
work late on September 11th.
00:48:29.44\00:48:34.34
She was going to go to
work at 6 am in the morning,
00:48:34.91\00:48:36.71
but because I
prayed for her, the Lord,
00:48:36.75\00:48:38.31
in the middle of the
evening, late in the night
00:48:38.41\00:48:40.88
as a matter of fact,
she went to a club with
00:48:40.92\00:48:42.82
other firefighters and
police officers, and people that
00:48:42.85\00:48:45.29
work in the force, and
about 4 o'clock in the morning
00:48:45.32\00:48:47.79
she said, "I'm not
going to work at six.
00:48:47.82\00:48:49.16
I'm going to go to work at ten."
00:48:49.19\00:48:50.59
And that one
decision saved her life.
00:48:50.63\00:48:53.13
And I called my sister
as soon as my wife and I
00:48:55.66\00:48:57.90
landed in Canada.
00:48:57.93\00:48:59.27
We were one of the first
planes that were redirected to
00:48:59.30\00:49:01.50
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
00:49:01.54\00:49:04.34
And as soon as we landed I
called my sister, and she said,
00:49:05.01\00:49:07.18
"God has been good to me."
00:49:07.21\00:49:08.61
And I rejoiced that she
even mentioned the word, "God."
00:49:08.64\00:49:11.35
And just last week I
talked to her when I came back
00:49:12.25\00:49:14.22
from New York a few weeks ago.
00:49:14.25\00:49:15.58
And I told her in the
midst of a church service
00:49:15.62\00:49:17.69
in New York City, she
was sitting in the audience,
00:49:17.72\00:49:19.85
and I looked at
my sister and I said,
00:49:19.89\00:49:21.49
"Sister, when Jesus comes
and mama Haynes comes forth
00:49:22.16\00:49:29.73
from her grave,
and we meet in heaven,
00:49:29.76\00:49:31.67
and she says to me, 'What
happened to your sister?'"
00:49:31.93\00:49:34.07
I looked at my
sister and I said,
00:49:34.10\00:49:35.44
"What am I going to say?"
00:49:35.47\00:49:36.81
You cannot
afford to miss heaven.
00:49:39.11\00:49:40.54
And I called my sister
when I got home, and she said,
00:49:40.58\00:49:42.34
"Brother, I'm listening to you.
00:49:42.38\00:49:44.08
I'm going to
surprise you one day."
00:49:44.11\00:49:45.91
That's why I believe
today the most successful
00:49:48.75\00:49:50.72
evangelist was Noah.
00:49:50.75\00:49:52.59
When the ark's
doors were closed,
00:49:53.59\00:49:55.69
all family
members accounted for.
00:49:56.76\00:49:59.33
You see, tonight I'm talking
about Jesus, the only way out.
00:50:02.33\00:50:05.50
There's no other way
out other than the way
00:50:05.53\00:50:07.74
that comes through Jesus.
00:50:07.77\00:50:09.67
You see, God knew, God
knew the results of sin.
00:50:09.87\00:50:13.88
Now there's one more
verse, I have a few more before
00:50:13.91\00:50:16.51
I end tonight, but there's
one more verse in the story
00:50:16.54\00:50:18.55
of the fall of Adam and Eve
that gives me the most hope.
00:50:18.58\00:50:21.98
Look at it together.
00:50:22.22\00:50:23.55
Genesis 3:9
00:50:24.09\00:50:26.59
God was not
asking for a location,
00:50:34.86\00:50:38.03
God was asking for confession.
00:50:38.07\00:50:40.84
God knew where he was.
00:50:41.60\00:50:43.20
Well sometimes you say,
"Where are you on that project?"
00:50:43.24\00:50:46.04
"Where are you in
your relationships?"
00:50:46.07\00:50:47.94
"Where are you
in your education?"
00:50:47.98\00:50:49.38
"Where are you in
your assignments?"
00:50:49.41\00:50:50.75
"Where are you?"
00:50:50.78\00:50:52.11
Not asking where you are,
00:50:52.15\00:50:53.48
but what is your
stand, what is your position?
00:50:53.52\00:50:55.05
God was saying to
Adam, "Come on Adam,
00:50:55.08\00:50:56.95
this is the moment to confess."
00:50:56.99\00:50:58.75
And what did Adam do?
"The woman You gave me..."
00:50:58.79\00:51:01.02
What did the woman do?
"The serpent You created..."
00:51:03.02\00:51:05.36
Trying to pass off blame.
00:51:06.70\00:51:08.13
That's why today human
nature would rather blame
00:51:08.16\00:51:11.40
than confess and be transformed.
00:51:11.60\00:51:14.80
But the good news
is, the good news is,
00:51:16.04\00:51:18.11
just in case you missed it,
00:51:18.14\00:51:19.47
Adam didn't go
looking for Jesus.
00:51:19.54\00:51:21.78
Jesus came looking for Adam.
00:51:21.81\00:51:23.65
You see, tonight we
can be saved, not because
00:51:24.51\00:51:26.28
we found God, but God found us.
00:51:26.31\00:51:28.65
He came to Phoenix to find you.
00:51:28.92\00:51:30.99
He didn't say,
"Find out where I am."
00:51:31.12\00:51:32.49
Because the Bible says, "Can
we by searching find out God?"
00:51:32.52\00:51:35.09
No.
00:51:35.12\00:51:36.46
But He can find us.
00:51:36.49\00:51:37.83
He came here to find us.
00:51:37.86\00:51:39.39
He came here to find
those of you that are watching
00:51:39.59\00:51:41.36
the program, wherever
you may be looking at this,
00:51:41.40\00:51:43.20
God is hunting you down.
00:51:43.30\00:51:45.03
The love of God is insatiable
and He will not stop until
00:51:45.60\00:51:49.14
He's done everything He can
to let us know that He loves us.
00:51:49.17\00:51:53.58
That's why I end with this
passage tonight that you love
00:51:53.61\00:51:56.28
and we all love, and
let's say it together.
00:51:56.31\00:51:58.18
We don't serve a
God who condemns us.
00:52:23.04\00:52:25.21
He condemns sin. Amen.
00:52:25.24\00:52:27.58
If you feel condemned,
it's not because God did it.
00:52:28.18\00:52:30.38
The Bible says, "If
our heart condemns us..."
00:52:31.51\00:52:33.98
And God is
greater than our hearts.
00:52:34.02\00:52:36.02
Why would our heart condemn us?
00:52:36.05\00:52:37.39
Because He put His law in
our minds and in our hearts.
00:52:37.42\00:52:39.79
And when God's law is
there, it will pull our coattail
00:52:39.82\00:52:42.92
until we either turn off
our receptors to righteousness
00:52:42.96\00:52:46.16
or simply give
into the love of God.
00:52:46.36\00:52:48.70
And I thank God for that.
00:52:48.80\00:52:50.17
Because when Adam sinned,
the Bible says in Genesis 3:14,
00:52:50.20\00:52:54.24
God said, "I will put enmity
between you and the woman."
00:52:54.34\00:52:56.87
That's the
comfort of discomfort.
00:52:56.91\00:52:58.97
God put in us enmity so
that sin makes us uncomfortable.
00:52:59.01\00:53:03.68
So when you do something wrong,
that comfort is not an emotion
00:53:03.71\00:53:06.41
you have, but God put
that safety system there
00:53:06.45\00:53:09.85
so that you know that
that discomfort should lead you
00:53:09.88\00:53:14.39
to run to the Savior who
will bring that discomfort
00:53:14.42\00:53:18.13
to redemption.
00:53:18.23\00:53:19.56
That's why
tonight, my last scripture,
00:53:20.16\00:53:22.30
I love it so much.
00:53:22.76\00:53:24.10
This message was not
only in the Garden of Eden,
00:53:24.43\00:53:26.47
not only when Adam sinned,
not only when Jesus came,
00:53:26.97\00:53:30.04
but look at what
the Bible talks about.
00:53:30.07\00:53:31.57
And tomorrow night
we're going to amplify this.
00:53:31.61\00:53:33.44
I love this passage.
00:53:33.84\00:53:35.24
The s-i-n.
00:53:44.62\00:53:46.19
The deadliest
compound ever created.
00:53:46.22\00:53:49.06
Not what you do, but what
causes you to do what you do.
00:53:49.09\00:53:55.33
The deadliest compound.
00:53:56.03\00:53:57.37
Tonight, as Tim plays,
I want you to know that
00:53:57.40\00:54:00.74
Jesus has an answer for us.
00:54:00.77\00:54:03.77
Jesus came down so
that we can one day go up.
00:54:04.21\00:54:07.08
Jesus walked our road so that
one day we can walk His road.
00:54:07.98\00:54:11.21
Amen, somebody.
00:54:11.25\00:54:12.58
He was arrested so
that we could be set free.
00:54:12.78\00:54:14.68
He was declared guilty so that
we could be declared innocent.
00:54:14.72\00:54:18.29
He was condemned so
that we could be pardoned.
00:54:18.75\00:54:20.66
He was treated as a
criminal so that we can be
00:54:20.76\00:54:23.63
treated as royalty.
00:54:23.66\00:54:25.26
He was stripped so
that we could be covered.
00:54:25.43\00:54:27.36
He wore our thorns so that
one day we could wear His crown.
00:54:27.60\00:54:31.73
Jesus suffered the
shame of death so that one day
00:54:32.43\00:54:36.60
we can share the glory of life.
00:54:36.64\00:54:39.71
Tim, bless us tonight.
00:54:39.74\00:54:41.11
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
00:54:43.14\00:54:49.88
just to take Him at His word,
00:54:50.79\00:54:57.19
just to rest upon His promise,
00:54:58.26\00:55:04.30
just to know,
"Thus saith the Lord."
00:55:05.50\00:55:14.84
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
00:55:15.44\00:55:22.72
how I've proved
Him o'er and o'er.
00:55:23.39\00:55:30.79
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus,
00:55:31.46\00:55:38.10
oh for grace to trust Him more.
00:55:39.13\00:55:46.41
As Tim continues to
play, let me tell you why
00:55:46.64\00:55:48.64
Jesus is the only way out.
00:55:48.68\00:55:50.68
You see, friends, this story
is going to end on a high note.
00:55:51.35\00:55:54.98
One day sin will be eradicated,
and death will be terminated.
00:55:56.02\00:56:00.32
One day pain will be eliminated,
and sorrow will be terminated.
00:56:00.59\00:56:04.79
One day war
will be assassinated,
00:56:05.19\00:56:07.30
hate will be obliterated.
00:56:07.33\00:56:09.60
Sinners will be extricated,
life will be celebrated.
00:56:09.70\00:56:12.90
Satan will be annihilated,
and Jesus will be vindicated.
00:56:13.07\00:56:17.04
And this experience can be yours
if you simply trust in Jesus.
00:56:17.31\00:56:21.04
Anybody tonight
want to trust in Jesus?
00:56:21.38\00:56:23.48
You want to trust
Jesus with your life?
00:56:24.38\00:56:26.08
As we sing the second stanza,
if you want to just say tonight,
00:56:28.45\00:56:31.09
"Lord Jesus, I want to
turn my life over to You."
00:56:31.12\00:56:33.86
We may end with our television
audience, but we're going to
00:56:33.89\00:56:36.69
sing here, and after
that we're going to pray.
00:56:36.73\00:56:38.53
Because there's someone
watching the program tonight
00:56:38.83\00:56:40.90
that wants to give
his or her life to Christ.
00:56:40.93\00:56:42.96
If that's your
decision, you can go to 3ABN.org
00:56:43.37\00:56:46.87
and contact us, or go to
the 3ABNPhoenix.com website
00:56:48.47\00:56:53.88
and notify us
about your decision.
00:56:53.91\00:56:56.41
Notify your pastor
about your decision.
00:56:56.81\00:56:59.11
Let us know so that
we can pray for you.
00:56:59.15\00:57:01.12
Because there's no greater
decision than to follow Jesus,
00:57:01.15\00:57:03.99
who is the only way out.
00:57:04.02\00:57:06.35
Tonight I want to
pray with you before
00:57:06.59\00:57:08.82
we sing that chorus again.
00:57:08.86\00:57:10.23
Father in heaven,
tonight we pray that we can
00:57:10.43\00:57:13.80
respond to the call of God.
00:57:14.26\00:57:15.60
He's saying to
us, "Where are you?
00:57:15.63\00:57:17.57
I've come to save
you. Where are you?
00:57:17.83\00:57:19.53
I've come to transform
you, and to forgive you,
00:57:19.57\00:57:21.50
and to change you.
00:57:21.54\00:57:22.87
Where are you? I've
come to give you life.
00:57:22.90\00:57:24.44
And to give it to
you more abundantly.
00:57:24.47\00:57:26.27
Where are you?"
00:57:26.31\00:57:27.64
May we come out from
behind the tree of our excuses
00:57:27.81\00:57:30.95
and put our lives squarely
in the hand of our Savior.
00:57:31.25\00:57:34.52
It's my prayer in
Jesus' name, amen.
00:57:34.55\00:57:38.15
