The world is
falling apart around us.
00:00:01.06\00:00:03.61
The church is not far behind
00:00:03.64\00:00:05.60
but the world has it
weight in our icy grip
00:00:05.63\00:00:08.55
and its freezing the
very life out of our bones
00:00:08.58\00:00:11.34
but we seem to be unaware of it.
00:00:11.37\00:00:13.40
We need help right
now, we need radical change.
00:00:13.43\00:00:16.67
It's times to join
your guide Jim Ayer
00:00:21.33\00:00:24.03
for an exciting
twelve episode journey
00:00:24.06\00:00:26.63
into remodeling your life.
00:00:26.66\00:00:29.39
You're going to discover that
God's transforming power is real
00:00:29.42\00:00:33.44
and He is ready to
provide that power to you.
00:00:33.47\00:00:36.69
Now here is your guide Jim Ayer
00:00:36.72\00:00:38.93
to take you on the
journey of a lifetime
00:00:38.96\00:00:41.61
in amazing and
dynamic experience with God.
00:00:41.64\00:00:44.94
A friend of mine and I
had rented a snowmobile.
00:01:02.45\00:01:04.49
Actually it wasn't a
snowmobile but a snow machine
00:01:04.52\00:01:07.41
and in those days they
were big bulky cumbersome.
00:01:07.44\00:01:09.90
They weren't the fast
machines that they have today.
00:01:09.93\00:01:12.81
Well, we set
off in the mountains
00:01:12.84\00:01:14.32
we're going to go
this beautiful lake.
00:01:14.35\00:01:16.79
But every time we turn
around we're getting stuck
00:01:16.82\00:01:19.01
And well it just seemed like
we're never going to get there.
00:01:22.80\00:01:25.67
We spent most of our
time getting unstuck.
00:01:25.70\00:01:29.19
And after a while it
start to snowing just widely
00:01:29.22\00:01:31.43
but it was
really still beautiful
00:01:31.46\00:01:33.03
so we decided to
leave the machine
00:01:33.06\00:01:35.32
and set out on
a journey on foot.
00:01:35.35\00:01:37.52
Well, it was a little longer
00:01:43.13\00:01:44.26
than we thought
it was going to be
00:01:44.29\00:01:45.71
first of all it
took us a lot longer
00:01:45.74\00:01:48.00
but we traveled for
a couple hours anyway
00:01:48.03\00:01:50.59
and the snow
continued to get deeper.
00:01:50.62\00:01:53.81
We finally reached the
lake and it was beautiful,
00:01:53.84\00:01:56.76
it was gorgeous,
snow covered everywhere.
00:01:56.79\00:02:00.71
But it had been
snowing so hard now
00:02:00.74\00:02:02.96
that even our
tracks have been covered.
00:02:02.99\00:02:05.59
So we decided to head on back
00:02:05.62\00:02:07.29
because we're hours
from our, our machine.
00:02:07.32\00:02:11.64
And I'm even
getting cold right now,
00:02:11.67\00:02:13.05
thinking about it
because, it was so cold
00:02:13.08\00:02:15.48
and my friend
actually is a little person.
00:02:15.51\00:02:17.74
He is about this tall
00:02:17.77\00:02:18.83
and so I'm breaking
trail form as we're going.
00:02:18.86\00:02:21.15
And we're struggling
00:02:21.18\00:02:22.37
and it's getting
deeper and deeper and deeper
00:02:22.40\00:02:25.59
and it's getting
harder and harder.
00:02:25.62\00:02:26.87
We're getting more
tired all the time.
00:02:26.90\00:02:30.22
And after a while
00:02:30.25\00:02:31.28
we started getting so
cold literally so cold
00:02:31.31\00:02:34.23
that we can
hardly feel ourselves,
00:02:34.26\00:02:36.12
we started to getting numb.
00:02:36.15\00:02:38.14
But then the
strangest thing begin to happen.
00:02:38.17\00:02:40.72
It seem like our
body is begin to get warm.
00:02:40.75\00:02:43.82
We actually, actually started
to feel a little bit warmer.
00:02:43.85\00:02:47.62
And they're
snowing harder and harder
00:02:47.65\00:02:49.95
and we're getting
more tired all the time.
00:02:49.98\00:02:53.02
Another hour or
two in our journey
00:02:53.05\00:02:55.62
and we actually finally
made it to our snow machine.
00:02:55.65\00:02:58.66
We're able to get it
situated again got on the road
00:02:58.69\00:03:02.35
and we actually got home.
00:03:02.38\00:03:05.29
It was only by the grace of God
00:03:05.32\00:03:06.66
that we made at home
made it to a warm fire.
00:03:06.69\00:03:10.20
We just praise God for that.
00:03:10.23\00:03:11.76
Because we were so cold
00:03:11.79\00:03:13.73
we felt like we
could go to sleep.
00:03:13.76\00:03:15.86
It actually the snow
backend to us and we felt like
00:03:15.89\00:03:19.15
we could just
curl up and go to sleep
00:03:19.18\00:03:21.38
and that icy grip of the snow.
00:03:21.41\00:03:23.25
There are many church members
00:03:38.24\00:03:39.41
who are in the
same struggle for life
00:03:39.44\00:03:41.23
they're so cold they
believe they're warm.
00:03:41.26\00:03:43.75
Am I such a person, are you?
00:03:43.78\00:03:46.29
We need help, we need to
experience radical change.
00:03:46.32\00:03:49.79
We need the fire
of God in our lives.
00:03:49.82\00:03:52.61
The Apostle Paul
wrote to Timothy in sorrow
00:03:57.34\00:03:59.49
over the actions
of the church members.
00:03:59.52\00:04:01.18
He said for
"Demas has forsaken me."
00:04:01.21\00:04:03.36
He's love this present world
00:04:03.39\00:04:05.34
and he has
departed to Thessalonica.
00:04:05.37\00:04:07.41
Well, you know today
00:04:07.44\00:04:08.79
we have the same
problems as Demas.
00:04:08.82\00:04:10.88
God first, give
me self, give me self
00:04:10.91\00:04:14.25
just you know we can look
00:04:14.28\00:04:15.50
at the current
books that we have
00:04:15.53\00:04:17.53
and see what's happening.
00:04:17.56\00:04:19.74
Self esteemed, self
sufficiency, individual,
00:04:19.77\00:04:22.64
materialism and
more, self, self, self.
00:04:22.67\00:04:25.50
In addition many
Christians have become so lulled
00:04:25.53\00:04:28.40
in the concept of universal love
00:04:28.43\00:04:30.34
which is the
popular belief that said
00:04:30.37\00:04:32.38
"all roads lead to
God and to eternity."
00:04:32.41\00:04:35.12
You know, it's a
human understanding
00:04:35.15\00:04:37.95
and it's not true,
00:04:37.98\00:04:39.50
its an absolute
lie of the devil.
00:04:39.53\00:04:41.68
The glitz and
glitter of the world
00:04:45.79\00:04:47.55
is crept into the church.
00:04:47.58\00:04:48.94
We're more attracted to
the eye candy of this world
00:04:48.97\00:04:51.61
than we're attracted
to God's word like Demas.
00:04:51.64\00:04:54.74
We're more in love
with his present world
00:04:54.77\00:04:57.12
then we are in love with God.
00:04:57.15\00:04:58.70
You know the sands of the sea
00:05:03.07\00:05:05.10
right, seem like it's
absolutely numberless.
00:05:05.13\00:05:07.49
I have been scuba
diving for many years
00:05:07.52\00:05:09.28
and I looked under the oceans,
00:05:09.31\00:05:10.67
the oceans are
full of sand everywhere.
00:05:10.70\00:05:12.87
The beaches of planet earth
are full of sand everywhere.
00:05:12.90\00:05:17.33
I want you think about this.
00:05:17.36\00:05:18.43
If I take just
one handful of sand
00:05:18.46\00:05:23.50
and think about all the sand
00:05:23.53\00:05:25.49
on planet earth
represents eternity.
00:05:25.52\00:05:27.49
I know, its not absolutely
00:05:27.52\00:05:28.94
the greatest
analogy in the world
00:05:28.97\00:05:31.05
but it's a best I
have for eternity sense.
00:05:31.08\00:05:33.24
None of us have
totally made it there yet
00:05:33.27\00:05:35.59
but think about
this if I can pick off
00:05:35.62\00:05:37.45
with my tweezers
one grain of sand
00:05:37.48\00:05:39.23
well, I don't know
how many I've got there.
00:05:39.26\00:05:41.17
I have got so many.
00:05:41.20\00:05:42.23
May be that's one grain
00:05:42.26\00:05:43.66
and the camera
probably can't pick it up.
00:05:43.69\00:05:47.80
That's your seven years
of life may be here on earth.
00:05:47.83\00:05:50.04
If we get a little more
00:05:50.07\00:05:51.18
may be a little
left but just 70 years.
00:05:51.21\00:05:54.68
Wow, think about that.
00:05:54.71\00:05:57.01
Here is my point
00:05:57.04\00:05:58.35
God created you for
eternity not for time.
00:05:58.38\00:06:01.52
This life is like a blip
on a radar screen forever.
00:06:01.55\00:06:05.25
When Jesus comes everything
here is going to be burned up.
00:06:05.28\00:06:09.30
The only thing that counts
is a relationship with Christ.
00:06:09.33\00:06:12.70
That's the only pathway to life.
00:06:12.73\00:06:15.35
Rick Warren said it
perfectly when he said
00:06:15.38\00:06:17.32
you cannot fulfill
God's purpose for your life
00:06:17.35\00:06:20.28
while focusing
on your own plans.
00:06:20.31\00:06:23.41
God used a preacher on a video
to speak to my heart years ago.
00:06:23.44\00:06:27.28
It changed my life when he said
00:06:27.31\00:06:29.14
"you've piled up so
much that this world's stuff
00:06:29.17\00:06:31.82
in front of your door
00:06:31.85\00:06:33.18
that even when God does knock
00:06:33.21\00:06:35.41
you can't make your
way to the door to answer."
00:06:35.44\00:06:38.36
How about you?
00:06:38.39\00:06:39.83
Is God knocking at your door?
00:06:39.86\00:06:41.86
Is He calling out to you?
00:06:41.89\00:06:43.48
You know it doesn't
matter where you are
00:06:43.51\00:06:45.41
He is calling to you
just like He called to Jim.
00:06:45.44\00:06:48.17
I met Jim years ago in a church.
00:07:02.67\00:07:05.15
This guy came up gave
me a big whole bear hug
00:07:05.18\00:07:07.47
with his tattooed body
and welcomed me to the church.
00:07:07.50\00:07:11.30
This isn't the same guy
00:07:11.33\00:07:12.45
who is head of a
national biker gang
00:07:12.48\00:07:14.35
or the same guy who
spent a lot of time in prison.
00:07:14.38\00:07:17.77
A guy actually who is rap sheet
00:07:17.80\00:07:19.51
and I have got a
little bit of it here today
00:07:19.54\00:07:20.91
why its over 60 pages long.
00:07:20.94\00:07:24.05
Unbelievable what
God has done to this guy.
00:07:24.08\00:07:26.69
Hey, Jim. Hey, brother.
00:07:26.72\00:07:28.08
It's good to see you. Amen.
00:07:28.11\00:07:29.85
Good to see you.
00:07:29.88\00:07:30.91
How you're doing? I'm blessed.
00:07:30.94\00:07:32.73
You know I was
just telling everybody
00:07:32.76\00:07:33.88
about your amazing journey
of transformation in Jesus.
00:07:33.91\00:07:37.79
You were in
prison in Pelican Bay
00:07:37.82\00:07:39.41
a maximum security
prison what happened,
00:07:39.44\00:07:42.01
how did, how did
you end up here today?
00:07:42.04\00:07:43.91
Well, let me tell you Jim,
00:07:43.94\00:07:45.29
I haven't always been
involved with the road.
00:07:45.32\00:07:49.62
Years ago I got caught up
with the outlaw motorcycle club
00:07:49.65\00:07:54.94
and it's strung
out into a lot of years
00:07:54.97\00:07:57.63
of drug addiction
and drinking alcohol.
00:07:57.66\00:08:00.96
It got me a few prison terms
00:08:00.99\00:08:03.29
and the last one a young
man introduced me to Jesus.
00:08:03.32\00:08:08.96
You're in a
maximum security prison
00:08:11.91\00:08:13.91
and he introduced you to Christ
00:08:13.94\00:08:15.08
well then what happened?
00:08:15.11\00:08:16.74
Well, actually I got
introduced at the county jail.
00:08:16.77\00:08:19.66
Okay.
00:08:19.69\00:08:20.72
And eventually, I got
to maximum security prison.
00:08:20.75\00:08:23.95
But I met a guy
while I was in the prison
00:08:23.98\00:08:27.08
who told me about the
truth about what is it called
00:08:27.11\00:08:33.56
when we die what really happens?
00:08:33.59\00:08:36.98
And from that I
took a Bible study
00:08:37.01\00:08:40.29
and which led to
other Bible studies
00:08:40.32\00:08:42.91
and eventually I
really gave my heart to Jesus.
00:08:42.94\00:08:49.60
Let loose of all
the drugs, alcohol.
00:08:49.63\00:08:51.86
I have been clean and
sober now for over 30 years
00:08:51.89\00:08:55.31
as you can see I'm involved
00:08:55.34\00:08:56.37
with the
motorcycle ministry, chaplain.
00:08:56.40\00:08:59.67
And the Lord just keeps
blessing us, and blessing us.
00:08:59.70\00:09:03.35
And you said you've
gave your heart to Jesus.
00:09:03.38\00:09:05.35
Now what do that really entail
and you said you quit drugs
00:09:05.38\00:09:08.19
did you just stopped
them because you felt like it
00:09:08.22\00:09:10.08
or was it there a
power behind this.
00:09:10.11\00:09:13.05
Well, you know several times
00:09:13.08\00:09:15.64
before I tried
to stop doing drugs
00:09:15.67\00:09:17.86
drinking alcohol
and smoking cigarettes
00:09:17.89\00:09:20.19
other normal
thing outlaw biker do,
00:09:20.22\00:09:23.22
amongst other things.
00:09:23.25\00:09:24.67
But they never seem to worked
00:09:24.70\00:09:27.55
and I tried going to alcohol
00:09:27.58\00:09:30.74
enormous one time
and narcotics enormous
00:09:30.77\00:09:33.70
and just and nothing
really pierced my heart.
00:09:33.73\00:09:37.84
And when I start
to reading the Bible
00:09:37.87\00:09:40.05
just kid they
told me about the Bible
00:09:40.08\00:09:42.00
he introduced me to
this verse in Hebrews it says
00:09:42.03\00:09:45.71
"The word of God is
quick, and powerful,
00:09:45.74\00:09:48.25
and sharper than
any two-edged sword,
00:09:48.28\00:09:50.70
and its piercing to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit,
00:09:50.73\00:09:52.53
and of the joints and marrow,
00:09:52.56\00:09:53.59
and is a
discerner of the thoughts
00:09:53.62\00:09:54.92
and intents of the heart."
00:09:54.95\00:09:56.30
And I read that
verse and I went wow,
00:09:56.33\00:10:00.36
God's word can
actually pierce my heart.
00:10:00.39\00:10:03.88
So I started doing Bible
studies on that and prayer,
00:10:03.91\00:10:09.04
Bible study fellowship
with likeminded believers
00:10:09.07\00:10:13.71
what a change came in my life.
00:10:13.74\00:10:15.25
The Lord sent the Holy Spirit.
I believe that change my life.
00:10:15.28\00:10:19.10
I know that you ended
up in the baptism of water,
00:10:19.13\00:10:21.64
you were baptized.
00:10:21.67\00:10:23.61
So was there any
growth from that point on?
00:10:23.64\00:10:26.00
Well, the Lord keeps
working on my heart everyday.
00:10:26.03\00:10:30.14
Everyday, we wake up we
have our morning devotion
00:10:30.17\00:10:33.89
we read the Bible and
there is another verse
00:10:33.92\00:10:38.42
that comes to my mind that says
00:10:38.45\00:10:40.61
"He who has
begun the work in you
00:10:40.64\00:10:42.75
will complete it until
it day of Christ of Jesus."
00:10:42.78\00:10:45.62
So its a ongoing
process in our life.
00:10:45.65\00:10:48.54
So Jim, you were
baptized about ten years ago
00:10:48.57\00:10:51.58
do you see any growth in
your life from them today?
00:10:51.61\00:10:54.83
We got baptized.
00:10:54.86\00:10:57.53
So many things in
my life have changed.
00:10:57.56\00:10:58.99
I used to be a
real angry person.
00:10:59.02\00:11:00.88
I used to have a lot
of communication problems.
00:11:00.91\00:11:05.13
And the Lord is
still working on all that.
00:11:05.16\00:11:07.08
Day by day I think my
wife was testified out that
00:11:07.11\00:11:11.77
things are getting better.
00:11:11.80\00:11:13.51
Amen, amen.
00:11:13.54\00:11:15.24
What advice would
have for other people
00:11:15.27\00:11:17.10
may be, may be watching
your interview right now
00:11:17.13\00:11:20.31
that are struggling
with problems and sins
00:11:20.34\00:11:23.54
and troubles in their life.
00:11:23.57\00:11:25.20
What would you tell them?
00:11:25.23\00:11:26.26
I look at it like this,
00:11:26.29\00:11:28.85
without Jesus there is
a big hole in our heart.
00:11:28.88\00:11:31.18
And we try to fill it
with so many different things
00:11:31.21\00:11:33.45
that before long its
just clutters up your life.
00:11:33.48\00:11:37.66
And Jesus said "behold, I
stand at the door knocking."
00:11:37.69\00:11:41.99
And if we open that door
and let Him in He will come in
00:11:42.02\00:11:46.44
and clean our house for us.
00:11:46.47\00:11:50.30
There is power as you
see in Philippians Chapter 2,
00:11:50.33\00:11:54.87
it says it is God working in you
00:11:54.90\00:11:56.68
to willing to do
His good pleasure.
00:11:56.71\00:11:58.81
And I believe that. Amen, amen.
00:11:58.84\00:12:01.96
Anyway thanks for coming, man.
00:12:01.99\00:12:03.09
Sure appreciate it. Oh,
it's a pleasure, brother.
00:12:03.12\00:12:05.17
God bless. Oh, my.
00:12:05.20\00:12:08.26
Same old bear hugger.
00:12:08.29\00:12:09.58
You know God
reached into that soul
00:12:17.28\00:12:19.85
that heart of Jim
in Pelican Bay prison
00:12:19.88\00:12:23.08
and Jim answered.
00:12:23.11\00:12:24.75
Jim answered Him and
his life has been changed
00:12:24.78\00:12:26.71
and now he walks with Jesus.
00:12:26.74\00:12:28.44
His best friend
everyday allowing
00:12:28.47\00:12:31.12
the fire of the Holy Spirit
00:12:31.15\00:12:32.38
to change him and
transform his life.
00:12:32.41\00:12:35.82
That's what God is
looking to do in your life too.
00:12:35.85\00:12:38.24

doesn't reflect
the powerful change
00:13:18.77\00:13:20.69
that supposed to be part
of every Christian experience.
00:13:20.72\00:13:23.91
Do temptations weigh on
you and leave you saying
00:13:23.94\00:13:26.69
may be I'm trying hard enough
00:13:26.72\00:13:28.27
or wondering if God's
holding up His end of the deal.
00:13:28.30\00:13:31.70

Well, there is
a well kept secret
00:13:34.89\00:13:37.05
and few Christians know about it

00:14:02.87\00:14:05.23
Now here is the
information you need,
00:14:05.26\00:14:06.98
call us or visit us online.
00:14:07.01\00:14:08.89
Janine and I were
recently driving past to church
00:14:19.62\00:14:21.90
that had a sign
posted out frontal rib
00:14:21.93\00:14:24.36
"the church is not
a museum for saints
00:14:24.39\00:14:26.33
but a hospital for sinner."
00:14:26.36\00:14:28.42
Now, I heard that
statement for years
00:14:28.45\00:14:30.18
and actually used it in myself.
00:14:30.21\00:14:32.31
But then it hit me.
00:14:32.34\00:14:33.83
When you check into a hospital
00:14:33.86\00:14:35.58
that don't you go in with
the expectation of getting well.
00:14:35.61\00:14:39.08
What kind of reputation
would the hospital have
00:14:39.11\00:14:41.82
if everyone checked in sick
00:14:41.85\00:14:43.95
but no one got any better?
00:14:43.98\00:14:46.58
Why should you
expect anything different
00:14:46.61\00:14:48.15
from the church and God?
00:14:48.18\00:14:50.51
We don't even give it a thought
00:14:50.54\00:14:52.89
because well the
devil's lied to us so long.
00:14:52.92\00:14:57.24
Let's use my biker
friend as an example.
00:14:57.27\00:14:59.66
The attitude is
in the church today
00:14:59.69\00:15:01.16
well that's great
that he changed his heart
00:15:01.19\00:15:03.70
and he was baptized
00:15:03.73\00:15:05.21
but now God can't do
anything else for him.
00:15:05.24\00:15:09.08
Well, wait a second
00:15:09.11\00:15:10.33
we just keep on
sinning until Jesus comes.
00:15:10.36\00:15:13.00
No it isn't true
that isn't what happens.
00:15:13.03\00:15:16.24
In a book Christ Objects lessons
Ellen white write these words.
00:15:22.38\00:15:25.95
"None are so vile,
none have fallen so low,
00:15:25.98\00:15:28.22
as to be beyond the
working of this power."
00:15:28.25\00:15:30.63
God's grace.
00:15:30.66\00:15:31.90
"In all who will submit
themselves to the Holy Spirit
00:15:31.93\00:15:34.30
a new principle of
life is to be implanted.
00:15:34.33\00:15:37.52
The lost image of God is
to be restored in humanity."
00:15:37.55\00:15:41.28
Wow, what amazing words.
00:15:41.31\00:15:43.02
You see God's
saving grace as two parts
00:15:43.05\00:15:46.24
justification
and sanctification.
00:15:46.27\00:15:48.39
Now these are big words
but they shouldn't frighten us.
00:15:48.42\00:15:51.40
Let me explain Janine
and I have the privilege
00:15:51.43\00:15:54.31
of visiting many of
Europe's great castles.
00:15:54.34\00:15:57.63
We have
discovered that many castles
00:15:57.66\00:15:59.36
have been
restored on the outsides
00:15:59.39\00:16:00.95
but are in a state of ongoing
restoration on the inside.
00:16:00.98\00:16:05.20
They typically
start with the outside
00:16:05.23\00:16:07.38
they make everything look
beautiful to attract the tourist
00:16:07.41\00:16:10.18
and then they
continue work of restoration
00:16:10.21\00:16:12.03
on the inside as
time and money permit.
00:16:12.06\00:16:15.15
Every molding every staircase
00:16:15.18\00:16:16.83
each window and
every ornate tile
00:16:16.86\00:16:19.12
is brought back
to the original glory
00:16:19.15\00:16:21.10
and in some
cases even brought back
00:16:21.13\00:16:23.73
to better than the original.
00:16:23.76\00:16:25.80
It's fascinating
to watch the craftsmen
00:16:25.83\00:16:27.80
painstakingly applied
sheet after sheet of gold leaf.
00:16:27.83\00:16:31.13
The plain old looking
wood, walls and door jams
00:16:31.16\00:16:33.49
and window casing and more.
00:16:33.52\00:16:35.83
Gold, gold, gold
is applied everywhere
00:16:35.86\00:16:38.45
until the lightening of one tiny
candle the flicker of the light
00:16:38.48\00:16:42.02
and lights in
entire room a radiant glory
00:16:42.05\00:16:44.64
and the sparkles through out.
00:16:44.67\00:16:46.59
The key is that the craftsmen
00:16:46.62\00:16:47.96
do not place new
gold over old wood
00:16:47.99\00:16:50.88
they styled by replacing
any worn or rotten wood first.
00:16:50.91\00:16:54.74
You know let me-- let me give
an illustration to my point.
00:16:54.77\00:16:57.90
Jesus was
standing before the crowds
00:16:57.93\00:16:59.88
when they
brought in a prostitute
00:16:59.91\00:17:01.37
they cast this
prostitute to His feet.
00:17:01.40\00:17:04.00
He got down He began writing
00:17:04.03\00:17:05.95
and scribbling here
on the paving stones
00:17:05.98\00:17:08.85
and pretty soon
all the leaders came up
00:17:08.88\00:17:10.46
they begin
peeking over His shoulder
00:17:10.49\00:17:12.78
and they discovered that Jesus
is right out there in own sense.
00:17:12.81\00:17:16.93
And pretty soon
Jesus said to the women,
00:17:16.96\00:17:18.77
"woman, where
are your accusers?"
00:17:18.80\00:17:20.81
She finally dares to
lift her head up and she looks
00:17:20.84\00:17:23.18
and she said
"there isn't anyone Lord."
00:17:23.21\00:17:25.56
And He says
"neither do I condemn you.
00:17:25.59\00:17:29.08
Neither do I condemn you."
00:17:29.11\00:17:31.10
Justification He wrapped His
righteous robe all around her
00:17:31.13\00:17:34.47
and says "when I look at you
00:17:34.50\00:17:35.93
I see a beautiful
woman in Jesus Christ."
00:17:35.96\00:17:39.55
But then He just
doesn't want to leave
00:17:39.58\00:17:40.88
the rotten wood on the inside.
00:17:40.91\00:17:42.23
You know He wants
to change that too.
00:17:42.26\00:17:44.03
And then He says these words,
"woman go and sin no more."
00:17:44.06\00:17:48.49
That's sanctification.
00:17:48.52\00:17:51.01
What was He
really saying He saying
00:17:51.04\00:17:52.93
women don't ever be
separated from me again,
00:17:52.96\00:17:55.44
allow the Holy
Spirit to come in your life,
00:17:55.47\00:17:57.53
permeate every
fiber of your life.
00:17:57.56\00:17:59.82
And we will have the
fellowship or relationship
00:17:59.85\00:18:02.33
like nothing you
can ever imagine.
00:18:02.36\00:18:05.66
When we enter the
church or God's hospital,
00:18:05.69\00:18:08.42
God wants to heal us
fully and completely.
00:18:08.45\00:18:11.28
This is the
process of sanctification
00:18:11.31\00:18:14.31
you might say that well this,
00:18:14.34\00:18:15.96
this works come to
temple of restoration project
00:18:15.99\00:18:18.51
actually in your life.
00:18:18.54\00:18:20.78
It's a work of
demands our full concentration
00:18:20.81\00:18:23.60
our full
cooperation and obedience
00:18:23.63\00:18:25.55
well, it's the
work of a lifetime.
00:18:25.58\00:18:30.39
Think about this question.
00:18:30.42\00:18:31.80
There is the sun try to shine
00:18:31.83\00:18:33.32
or it's simply a
product of the energy
00:18:33.35\00:18:35.20
that is bursting
out from it inside.
00:18:35.23\00:18:37.96
Jesus said I'm the way
the truth and the light.
00:18:37.99\00:18:41.55
Notice, He didn't say
00:18:41.58\00:18:42.94
follow me and I
will show you the way.
00:18:42.97\00:18:45.25
He didn't say follow
me and I will show you
00:18:45.28\00:18:47.21
where to find truth.
00:18:47.24\00:18:48.27
No "He said I'm
truth, I'm light."
00:18:48.30\00:18:51.93
And when we invite God in
00:18:51.96\00:18:53.83
who stands at
the door and knocks,
00:18:53.86\00:18:55.90
when we invite
Him into our lives
00:18:55.93\00:18:57.36
we invite the light
00:18:57.39\00:18:58.88
and that light cannot
coexists with darkness
00:18:58.91\00:19:02.05
that darkness has to flee.
00:19:02.08\00:19:04.74
As you
surrender your life to God
00:19:04.77\00:19:06.87
through what the world
would consider radical obedience
00:19:06.90\00:19:09.80
you begin to glow
from the inside out
00:19:09.83\00:19:11.97
just like Moses,
just like the Son of God.
00:19:12.00\00:19:14.95
Yes, the church is a
hospital for the sinners
00:19:17.73\00:19:20.02
and here is the look
the treatment process.
00:19:20.05\00:19:22.18
The healing process,
the restoration process
00:19:22.21\00:19:25.20
that God has designed
00:19:25.23\00:19:26.26
to take place in
every single patient.
00:19:26.29\00:19:29.28
When the light of
God comes in contact
00:19:29.31\00:19:31.26
with the sin in your life,
00:19:31.29\00:19:33.01
it's vaporized, gone.
00:19:33.04\00:19:34.88
The impurities of
rebellion are purged from you
00:19:34.91\00:19:37.40
so God can occupy the space.
00:19:37.43\00:19:40.05
The key is for
you to allow access
00:19:40.08\00:19:42.17
that every room in
your spiritual house
00:19:42.20\00:19:44.64
so the process can continue.
00:19:44.67\00:19:47.16
Yes, Jesus is the light of world
00:19:47.19\00:19:49.51
and His greatest
desire is to live in you,
00:19:49.54\00:19:51.70
to glow out from you
to a vast and dying world
00:19:51.73\00:19:54.65
so others can
enjoy the light as well.
00:19:54.68\00:19:57.92
Christians are to bear
fruit and the healing process
00:19:57.95\00:20:00.71
cannot continue unless the
light is shared with others.
00:20:00.74\00:20:03.81
But how does that happen.
00:20:03.84\00:20:05.56
So many things are
happening in the world today.
00:20:14.06\00:20:16.39
I wonder if the
Bible is really true.
00:20:16.42\00:20:17.94
Understand, what
just took place here.
00:20:20.91\00:20:23.57
The Holy Spirit is
working in her heart.
00:20:23.60\00:20:25.35
How do I know?
00:20:25.38\00:20:26.41
Because God has revealed
that to me by the comment
00:20:26.44\00:20:29.07
she made about I
wonder if the Bible is correct
00:20:29.10\00:20:32.00
that doesn't happen
without God intervention.
00:20:32.03\00:20:35.27
Now, since he's
revealed that to me
00:20:35.30\00:20:37.06
that means God has
wanting me to join Him at work.
00:20:37.09\00:20:40.15
What does that mean?
00:20:40.18\00:20:41.21
Well, mine this
is stop coming up.
00:20:41.24\00:20:45.27
What do I do now,
do I get off at my stop
00:20:45.30\00:20:47.83
or do I continue
on and go with God
00:20:47.86\00:20:50.50
and join in a conversation
to share Jesus Christ with her.
00:20:50.53\00:20:55.18
Well, that's the
key, that's what God wants
00:20:55.21\00:20:56.86
because you can't
stay where you are
00:20:56.89\00:20:58.98
and go with God.
00:20:59.01\00:21:00.58
It's impossible,
00:21:00.61\00:21:01.96
when God reveals to
you joining the work.
00:21:01.99\00:21:05.63
Hi, I couldn't help overhearing.
00:21:05.66\00:21:08.17
What you said about the Bible,
00:21:08.20\00:21:09.65
would you like to know
little bit more about it?
00:21:09.68\00:21:11.75
Sure.
00:21:11.78\00:21:13.44
Let me, let me give you my card

and may be we can
talk a little bit by email
00:21:15.36\00:21:17.74
or get together I'll be
happy to discussing with you.
00:21:17.77\00:21:20.63
Remember to place
your life in God's hands
00:21:27.70\00:21:30.60
to be fully led by Him
00:21:30.63\00:21:32.36
takes complete surrender
that's your part and my part
00:21:32.39\00:21:35.93
we need to
surrender our will to God.
00:21:35.96\00:21:38.45
And when we do,
when we walk toward God
00:21:38.48\00:21:40.58
He will enable us to do
all that He has bid us to do.
00:21:40.61\00:21:44.33
Remember, its all about God.
00:21:44.36\00:21:46.83

00:23:19.29\00:23:22.56
The degree of
blessing enjoyed by any man
00:23:27.64\00:23:29.85
according to A. W.
Tozer corresponds exactly
00:23:29.88\00:23:33.02
with the completeness
of God's victory over him.
00:23:33.05\00:23:36.50
Dwight L. Moody once
standing before a large audience
00:23:36.53\00:23:38.95
took an empty glass he said
00:23:38.98\00:23:40.27
"this glass
represents your body.
00:23:40.30\00:23:42.89
The air in it represents sin.
00:23:42.92\00:23:45.34
How do you get the
sin out of your life?"
00:23:45.37\00:23:48.20
Well, the people had all kinds
of ideas one thing, this thing,
00:23:48.23\00:23:52.00
that thing everybody
and finally after a while
00:23:52.03\00:23:54.65
Moody simply put the glass down.
00:23:54.68\00:23:57.41
Took a pitcher of
water and filled it up.
00:23:57.44\00:24:01.02
The water of course
representing the Holy Spirit
00:24:01.05\00:24:04.03
and he filled the glass
all the way up to overflowing.
00:24:04.06\00:24:07.06
And said "here its very simple.
00:24:07.09\00:24:09.57
Just allow God to fill
your life with the Holy Spirit
00:24:09.60\00:24:12.50
and the sin will immediately
00:24:12.53\00:24:13.75
will be showed
out of your life."
00:24:13.78\00:24:14.95
You see victory
over sin is possible
00:24:14.98\00:24:17.49
when you surrender your life
fully and completely to God.
00:24:17.52\00:24:21.44
At that moment the Holy Spirit
00:24:21.47\00:24:22.79
takes up
precedence or abides in you.
00:24:22.82\00:24:25.51
Abides in your temple,
your life and provides you
00:24:25.54\00:24:28.85
that overcoming
power that God has.
00:24:28.88\00:24:31.28
This is essential for salvation.
00:24:31.31\00:24:34.06
Let me give an example in
Revelation Chapter 2 and 3
00:24:34.09\00:24:36.91
and also in chapter 21,
00:24:36.94\00:24:39.47
God speaks continually to
the church about overcoming.
00:24:39.50\00:24:42.80
He says to him overcome
00:24:42.83\00:24:44.48
I will give you to right
to eat of the tree of life.
00:24:44.51\00:24:47.39
To him overcomes allow him
to sit with Me in My throne.
00:24:47.42\00:24:52.34
You see the more
you depend upon God
00:24:52.37\00:24:55.42
the more the dependable
it will become the more,
00:24:55.45\00:24:58.52
the more you allow
God to work in your life
00:24:58.55\00:25:00.63
and more you see
how wonderful God is
00:25:00.66\00:25:03.12
in the victory He
has in store for you
00:25:03.15\00:25:05.22
to make you an overcoming.
00:25:05.25\00:25:08.38
See God is God and anything
He wants to do He can do.
00:25:08.41\00:25:12.65
If you invite
Him to abide in you
00:25:12.68\00:25:14.70
and you've invited victory
to take complete control of you.
00:25:14.73\00:25:17.85
It's not about
you its all about God.
00:25:17.88\00:25:20.66
Can you do it? No.
00:25:20.69\00:25:22.15
Can I do it? No.
00:25:22.18\00:25:24.14
But when you
allow the third person
00:25:24.17\00:25:25.81
the God head the Holy Spirit
00:25:25.84\00:25:27.48
could dwell and you to fill you.
00:25:27.51\00:25:29.07
The one who has never
lost battle with evil,
00:25:29.10\00:25:31.63
you will not lose
the battle either.
00:25:31.66\00:25:34.40
Can you think of any situation
00:25:34.43\00:25:36.04
where Jesus ran
up against the trial?
00:25:36.07\00:25:38.19
Any temptation, any
problem or any demon
00:25:38.22\00:25:41.30
and ever lost the battle.
00:25:41.33\00:25:43.18
You will not find one instance
00:25:47.66\00:25:49.20
where Jesus did not firmly
beat the devil his minions
00:25:49.23\00:25:52.35
human or otherwise.
00:25:52.38\00:25:53.88
As a matter of fact
00:25:53.91\00:25:55.90
I have read my
Bible from cover to cover
00:25:55.93\00:25:57.79
and guess what God always wins.
00:25:57.82\00:26:00.65
This is the power you must
have in your life by invitation.
00:26:00.68\00:26:04.41
God will give it to you
00:26:04.44\00:26:05.79
in the form of the
in dwelling Holy Spirit.
00:26:05.82\00:26:08.90
Follow Him and claim
His power as your own.
00:26:08.93\00:26:13.04
An angle appeared to Ellen
envisioned and said these words.
00:26:13.07\00:26:16.45
"Time is almost finished.
00:26:16.48\00:26:18.08
Do you reflect the lovely
image of Jesus as you should?
00:26:18.11\00:26:21.80
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
00:26:21.83\00:26:24.08
You will have to die a
greater death to the world
00:26:24.11\00:26:26.30
than ye have ever yet died."
00:26:26.33\00:26:29.52
Imagine this, think
about this for a moment
00:26:29.55\00:26:31.81
an angel materializes
right where you are right now
00:26:31.84\00:26:34.89
in your very room at this moment
00:26:34.92\00:26:36.52
stares at you and
makes that statement.
00:26:36.55\00:26:39.44
You know it's been sad
that some churches are so cold
00:26:46.22\00:26:48.85
you can skate down the ice
00:26:48.88\00:26:50.69
right down the
center of the church isle.
00:26:50.72\00:26:53.64
We need to be
revived and transformed
00:26:53.67\00:26:55.85
by the power of
God living in us.
00:26:55.88\00:26:58.76
The church is
made up of individuals
00:26:58.79\00:27:00.79
you and me and how
is your heart today.
00:27:00.82\00:27:04.44
Is it cold as ice
or is it warmed up.
00:27:04.47\00:27:06.39
I can guarantee you that
you'll be greatly blessed
00:27:06.42\00:27:08.95
by giving all
the as of you to God.
00:27:08.98\00:27:11.14
He will melt your heart.
00:27:11.17\00:27:12.54
He will change your life,
give you victory over sin,
00:27:12.57\00:27:15.91
you will no longer
need to come home at night
00:27:15.94\00:27:18.25
and end the day
and tears and sorrow.
00:27:18.28\00:27:20.51
Allow Him to transform you now.
00:27:20.54\00:27:23.22
I'd invite you to
join me in the prayer.
00:27:23.25\00:27:25.99
Lord, I've tried it on my
own I tried to do all the years,
00:27:26.02\00:27:29.23
I had tried to fight
the devil on my own I can't.
00:27:29.26\00:27:32.37
Lord, come into my
life today right now
00:27:32.40\00:27:35.24
give me power of melt my heart
00:27:35.27\00:27:37.40
in Jesus name, amen.
00:27:37.43\00:27:40.03
God will do it for you,
00:27:40.06\00:27:41.09
you can beat the
devil, right now today.
00:27:41.12\00:27:43.86
