At this time it is
our departure time.
00:00:01.06\00:00:02.09
Before we can
shut the aircraft door
00:00:02.12\00:00:03.72
and tack these from the gate,
00:00:03.75\00:00:05.42
all passengers
must be in their seats
00:00:05.45\00:00:08.55
with their luggage stowed
00:00:08.58\00:00:10.04
and the overhead bins closed.
00:00:10.07\00:00:12.13
We do ask that you'd kindly
00:00:12.16\00:00:13.53
take your seat as
quickly as possible.
00:00:13.56\00:00:15.81
Thank you.
00:00:15.84\00:00:16.87
It's time to join your
guide Jim Ayer for an exciting
00:00:21.58\00:00:25.33
12th episode journey
into "Remodeling Your Life."
00:00:25.36\00:00:29.68
You're going to discover that
00:00:29.71\00:00:31.00
God's transforming power is real
00:00:31.03\00:00:33.70
and He's ready to
provide that power to you.
00:00:33.73\00:00:36.90
Now here's your guide,
00:00:36.93\00:00:38.10
Jim Ayer to take you on
the journey of a lifetime,
00:00:38.13\00:00:41.74
an amazing and
dynamic experience with God.
00:00:41.77\00:00:46.84
Because my work
requires a great deal of travel
00:00:46.87\00:00:49.44
I spend a lot of
time in airplanes,
00:00:49.47\00:00:51.31
on occasion I'll
take a window seat
00:00:51.34\00:00:53.32
so I can enjoy
the amazing views.
00:00:53.35\00:00:55.95
Flying at 30,000
feet above the earth
00:00:55.98\00:00:58.04
offers expansive vistas of vast
snow covered mountain rangers,
00:00:58.07\00:01:01.90
color patterns
that dazzle the senses,
00:01:01.93\00:01:03.98
patch work fields and
crops, lakes and dams well,
00:01:04.01\00:01:06.93
the list is almost
endless and here is my point.
00:01:06.96\00:01:09.93
The view is very different
00:01:09.96\00:01:11.35
when standing at the
base of a massive dam
00:01:11.38\00:01:14.61
looking up to that
gigantic concrete walls
00:01:14.64\00:01:16.98
as opposed of
flying over the dam.
00:01:17.01\00:01:19.17
The lake head holes
and the extensive forest
00:01:19.20\00:01:21.46
covered mountain
rangers that contains it all.
00:01:21.49\00:01:24.76
Flying above our world
offers a different prospective
00:01:24.79\00:01:27.62
and same as true
when studying the Bible.
00:01:27.65\00:01:30.54
We are going to fly
over Matthew 5 to 10 today
00:01:30.57\00:01:32.94
so, you can experience vistas
00:01:32.97\00:01:34.72
that you may not
have seen before.
00:01:34.75\00:01:38.35
All electronic
devices, all cameras, Kindles,
00:01:38.38\00:01:42.08
iPods, anything with an on-off
00:01:42.11\00:01:44.88
switch must be
in the off position.
00:01:44.91\00:01:47.29
And once again, we
cannot leave the gate
00:01:47.32\00:01:49.86
until all passengers are seated
00:01:49.89\00:01:52.56
and all
overhead bins are closed.
00:01:52.59\00:01:54.71
Thank you.
00:01:54.74\00:01:56.01
It was on a grassy
slope something like this
00:01:56.04\00:01:58.14
that Jesus sat
with thousands of people
00:01:58.17\00:02:00.57
overlooking the Sea of Galilee.
00:02:00.60\00:02:03.63
It was a gorgeous day
basically just like this
00:02:03.66\00:02:06.89
talking to them about the things
00:02:06.92\00:02:08.55
they had never heard off
from a religious teacher before.
00:02:08.58\00:02:11.71
In all the world, they
had not found another message
00:02:11.74\00:02:14.33
like this one found in
Matthew Chapter 5, 6 and 7.
00:02:14.36\00:02:18.57
You can read the
studies of the Bhagavad Gita,
00:02:18.60\00:02:21.87
you can read the
Quran, the poly text teachings
00:02:21.90\00:02:25.42
but you know you're never
00:02:25.45\00:02:26.48
going to find
anything quite like
00:02:26.51\00:02:28.67
the Sermon on the Mount.
00:02:28.70\00:02:30.15
It changed lives, it changed men
00:02:30.18\00:02:32.39
who take some from
drunkards and make them saints.
00:02:32.42\00:02:34.36
It takes thieves
00:02:34.39\00:02:35.62
and make some beautiful
people in Jesus Christ.
00:02:35.65\00:02:38.61
Children or the king.
00:02:38.64\00:02:40.18
What these are living words
00:02:40.21\00:02:42.42
from the Creator
God of the universe.
00:02:42.45\00:02:45.28
In the first 11 verses
00:02:45.31\00:02:47.63
you find the --
the blessed text- -
00:02:47.66\00:02:49.23
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
00:02:49.26\00:02:51.10
for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
00:02:51.13\00:02:53.35
Blessed are they that mourn,
for they will be comforted.
00:02:53.38\00:02:58.45
These all change people's life.
00:02:58.48\00:03:00.43
I went all through
school the friend of mine
00:03:00.46\00:03:02.07
his name was Larry Basich.
00:03:02.10\00:03:04.09
Larry was always
better every thing than I was.
00:03:04.12\00:03:06.36
I mean we were in every sport
00:03:06.39\00:03:08.45
and Larry beat
me in every thing.
00:03:08.48\00:03:09.96
He was like, you know
there wasn't anything I can do
00:03:09.99\00:03:12.57
but Larry was just better.
00:03:12.60\00:03:15.10
And I remember one time
I heard that Larry was sick
00:03:15.13\00:03:19.88
and he contracted a disease.
00:03:19.91\00:03:22.28
I began visit him
actually in a home--
00:03:22.31\00:03:24.36
we had to put him
in home I want to sing
00:03:24.39\00:03:26.77
and I played the guitar
for him from time to time
00:03:26.80\00:03:29.65
and this one time
00:03:29.68\00:03:32.29
I asked him a little
more of his story and he said,
00:03:32.32\00:03:34.13
you know he said
I went to college
00:03:34.16\00:03:36.61
on the basketball scholarship.
00:03:36.64\00:03:38.48
When I was in college
00:03:38.51\00:03:39.98
I was introduced to Jesus Christ
00:03:40.01\00:03:41.52
and I accepted Christ in my life
00:03:41.55\00:03:43.37
and it was shortly there
00:03:43.40\00:03:44.43
after I got
slugged with this disease.
00:03:44.46\00:03:47.50
He said it's been
an terrible disease.
00:03:47.53\00:03:50.56
And I said Larry, would
you have changed anything?
00:03:50.59\00:03:53.50
Would you have
changed anything in life?
00:03:53.53\00:03:55.62
Then he said, no,
00:03:55.65\00:03:57.47
I wouldn't have changed a thing,
00:03:57.50\00:03:59.46
wouldn't have changed anything.
00:03:59.49\00:04:01.35
You see, these first 11 verses.
00:04:01.38\00:04:04.74
Well, they are such a blessing,
00:04:04.77\00:04:06.08
they give us
strength and a blessing
00:04:06.11\00:04:08.29
in following Jesus Christ.
00:04:08.32\00:04:09.77
They are powerful
words they are real,
00:04:09.80\00:04:11.08
they are living ones.
00:04:11.11\00:04:12.97
You know, next
Jesus begin to move
00:04:13.00\00:04:15.32
to the part that really strikes
00:04:15.35\00:04:16.87
that the
foundation of hypocrisy.
00:04:16.90\00:04:19.61
Chapter 5:20 says,
00:04:19.64\00:04:21.62
"For I say to you that
except your righteousness
00:04:21.65\00:04:24.68
shall exceed the righteousness
00:04:24.71\00:04:26.36
of the scribes and Pharisees"
00:04:26.39\00:04:27.96
oh my, ye shall in no case
00:04:27.99\00:04:30.30
enter into the
kingdom of heaven."
00:04:30.33\00:04:32.35
Here He is --
while He rips apart
00:04:32.38\00:04:34.74
everything that
they are thinking
00:04:34.77\00:04:35.95
about He says, you know,
00:04:35.98\00:04:38.34
hey if you are not
better than church leaders
00:04:38.37\00:04:41.14
you does not
gonna make it to heaven.
00:04:41.17\00:04:44.46
So again Jesus
moved from that extra note
00:04:44.49\00:04:46.63
from the outside of how you look
00:04:46.66\00:04:47.96
you know the
scribes and Pharisees
00:04:47.99\00:04:49.77
they all want to
look really great
00:04:49.80\00:04:51.31
before everybody
put up a good front
00:04:51.34\00:04:53.74
or Jesus brings them now
on the inside of the heart
00:04:53.77\00:04:56.23
what's going on in your heart.
00:04:56.26\00:04:57.57
What's happening in your heart?
00:04:57.60\00:04:58.98
He started to
call them back to God
00:04:59.01\00:05:02.15
you know what the
plan of a changed heart,
00:05:02.18\00:05:03.81
He didn't want them just
to look good on the outside,
00:05:03.84\00:05:06.40
He wanted them to
look good on the inside too
00:05:06.43\00:05:08.56
to be good on the inside.
00:05:08.59\00:05:11.31
Well, Jesus went on
here and continued too,
00:05:11.34\00:05:14.64
He said "If your right
eye offend you, pluck it out,
00:05:14.67\00:05:16.66
if your right hand
offend you, cut it off."
00:05:16.69\00:05:18.74
This was serious business,
00:05:18.77\00:05:20.73
he wanted to take everything
00:05:20.76\00:05:22.37
moving from this
all this external area
00:05:22.40\00:05:26.11
into a real relationship of God.
00:05:26.14\00:05:28.00
You see its all about God.
00:05:28.03\00:05:30.45
You can do nothing
to change your own life,
00:05:30.48\00:05:33.16
you and I can't do anything
to change our own life's
00:05:33.19\00:05:35.22
may be you have tried.
00:05:35.25\00:05:36.58
You know, I have certainly
tried to do it on my own
00:05:36.61\00:05:39.85
but when we
give the Holly Spirit
00:05:39.88\00:05:42.03
permission to enter of lives,
00:05:42.06\00:05:45.05
wow, it changes its God
who comes inside, lives in us
00:05:45.08\00:05:50.45
and its God that actually
does the changing inside of us.
00:05:50.48\00:05:54.31
So my question today,
you know will you allow God?
00:05:54.34\00:05:57.43
Will you allow God to
fully and completely change you
00:05:57.46\00:06:01.09
to allow Him enter
and ascend your heart
00:06:01.12\00:06:03.95
because you know the Holy Spirit
00:06:03.98\00:06:05.71
is like this burning fire,
00:06:05.74\00:06:07.19
He comes inside of you
00:06:07.22\00:06:09.23
and He burns up the sin
inside its not you doing it,
00:06:09.26\00:06:11.88
its not me doing
it but God burns out
00:06:11.91\00:06:14.78
the sin completely in our life.
00:06:14.81\00:06:16.76
He has promised
it, He has promised it.
00:06:16.79\00:06:18.83
He doesn't want just
to leave us where we are.
00:06:18.86\00:06:20.61
He wants to lift us
higher and higher and higher.
00:06:20.64\00:06:22.95
Could something be
missing in your walk with Christ
00:06:28.75\00:06:31.11
but you not
sure what it might be
00:06:31.14\00:06:32.74
or what to do about it.
00:06:32.77\00:06:34.49
The Review and
Herald has the answer,
00:06:34.52\00:06:37.02
the book Transformation
will lead you step by step
00:06:37.05\00:06:39.70
on the journey of the life time.
00:06:39.73\00:06:41.31
You'll be surprised
00:06:41.34\00:06:42.39
how easily
changes in your life occur
00:06:42.42\00:06:44.91
as you focus on
the power of God.
00:06:44.94\00:06:47.18
You see its all about God
00:06:47.21\00:06:48.76
the God who loves you
and wants to transform you.
00:06:48.79\00:06:51.82
Now, here is the
information you need
00:06:51.85\00:06:53.53
call us or visit us online.
00:06:53.56\00:06:55.19
You know, Jesus really
00:07:07.10\00:07:08.30
from chapter 5
into chapter 6 and 7
00:07:08.33\00:07:11.88
He really didn't miss a beat.
00:07:11.91\00:07:13.60
I mean it's just a continuation.
00:07:13.63\00:07:15.78
He was just
continuing on right where He was
00:07:15.81\00:07:18.57
and you know the original Bibles
00:07:18.60\00:07:21.15
the text there were no
punctuation marks or anything.
00:07:21.18\00:07:23.72
You know it just
continued on no chapter
00:07:23.75\00:07:25.65
so this is just all
part of the same thing
00:07:25.68\00:07:28.56
but then He right away
00:07:28.59\00:07:29.87
He jumps into the hypocrisy
of many of the leaders,
00:07:29.90\00:07:32.81
many of the people of
the church of the day.
00:07:32.84\00:07:35.39
You know, don't do
as the hypocrites do,
00:07:35.42\00:07:38.66
don't be like the hypocrites
and who are the hypocrites?
00:07:38.69\00:07:41.12
The church leaders, you
know they were the ones who --
00:07:41.15\00:07:43.30
who walked around the everywhere
00:07:43.33\00:07:45.92
and they were the ones who--
00:07:45.95\00:07:47.55
who tried to look
great in front of everybody
00:07:47.58\00:07:50.12
they wanted the highest places,
they wanted the best places
00:07:50.15\00:07:53.42
so they could,
they could give all--
00:07:53.45\00:07:55.10
get all the
acolytes from everybody.
00:07:55.13\00:07:57.40
And He said no,
no -- that's not --
00:07:57.43\00:07:59.47
what my kingdom is all
about, it's about it all.
00:07:59.50\00:08:03.41
You see it said in verse 3 or 2
00:08:03.44\00:08:05.85
these people they
already have the reward.
00:08:05.88\00:08:08.66
That's it, what they get
00:08:08.69\00:08:10.36
you know when everybody
gives them the platitudes
00:08:10.39\00:08:12.03
and the best
places and everything
00:08:12.06\00:08:13.59
they have got to reward.
00:08:13.62\00:08:14.80
They are not gonna be in heaven
00:08:14.83\00:08:16.47
so it's a whole good
of totally just a mind set
00:08:16.50\00:08:19.29
as we think about these things.
00:08:19.32\00:08:21.43
You kind of start asking well,
again, how can I get there?
00:08:21.46\00:08:24.77
And the Lord really
then goes into prayer.
00:08:24.80\00:08:27.08
It's all about prayer, I
like what Ellen White says,
00:08:27.11\00:08:31.34
"prayer is the key
in the hand of faith
00:08:31.37\00:08:33.19
to unlock heaven's storehouse,
00:08:33.22\00:08:34.46
where are
treasured the boundless
00:08:34.49\00:08:36.00
resources of Omnipotence."
00:08:36.03\00:08:38.81
Amazing
statement, we are gonna tie
00:08:38.84\00:08:40.58
into the boundless
resources of Omnipotence,
00:08:40.61\00:08:43.14
there is the key, prayer.
00:08:43.17\00:08:44.80
Prayer you audience
00:08:44.83\00:08:45.98
you audience with God
the king of the universe
00:08:46.01\00:08:48.53
and you have that audience
at anytime, any place and where
00:08:48.56\00:08:51.79
because His word
is a living word.
00:08:51.82\00:08:54.66
You know in, I
think its 2 Timothy,
00:08:54.69\00:08:58.27
Paul says to Timothy you
know, it's a living word,
00:08:58.30\00:09:01.19
it's an exciting word of God
00:09:01.22\00:09:02.54
when we -- when we
study when we open His word
00:09:02.57\00:09:05.11
we are encountering the God
of the universe right there.
00:09:05.14\00:09:08.55
So, Jesus begins
to talk with them
00:09:08.58\00:09:10.55
about particular way to pray.
00:09:10.58\00:09:12.96
Verse 9, Our Father
which art in heaven,
00:09:12.99\00:09:14.77
Hallowed be your name.
00:09:14.80\00:09:15.83
Giving praise, Give us
this day our daily bread.
00:09:15.86\00:09:18.93
He continues on,
"For thine is the kingdom,
00:09:18.96\00:09:21.61
and the power, and the
glory, for ever and ever."
00:09:21.64\00:09:24.35
Contains a lot of
giving praises to God.
00:09:24.38\00:09:27.37
You know, how often do I,
00:09:27.40\00:09:28.98
How often do you
wake up in the morning
00:09:29.01\00:09:31.60
and just start praising God.
00:09:31.63\00:09:33.20
You know I loved what a fellow
once said, years ago, he said,
00:09:33.23\00:09:36.96
if you wake up in the morning
00:09:36.99\00:09:38.03
you don't have
anything to praise God about
00:09:38.06\00:09:40.31
hold your
breath for five minutes
00:09:40.34\00:09:42.05
and then see if you got
anything to praise God about.
00:09:42.08\00:09:44.48
You know, well,
how many of us here
00:09:44.51\00:09:46.45
can hold the
breath for five minutes?
00:09:46.48\00:09:47.87
Probably not many
of us especially me,
00:09:47.90\00:09:50.06
you know, I use my little
asthma thing from time to time.
00:09:50.09\00:09:53.29
But its like we praise
God for breath for life
00:09:53.32\00:09:55.84
and that's the way we
should start out our day
00:09:55.87\00:09:58.27
as looking to God up
lifting praising Him.
00:09:58.30\00:10:01.95
Then He continues on,
00:10:01.98\00:10:03.01
"Lay not up for
yourselves treasures in heaven,
00:10:03.04\00:10:06.32
where moth and
rust does corrupt,
00:10:06.35\00:10:08.87
but lay up for
yourself treasure in heaven
00:10:08.90\00:10:10.85
where neither rust
nor moth is corrupt."
00:10:10.88\00:10:15.27
Totally
different thing, you know
00:10:15.30\00:10:16.33
we want to gather on this earth
00:10:16.36\00:10:17.62
we want to gather
all the things how often
00:10:17.65\00:10:19.89
you turn on
television, what's its about?
00:10:19.92\00:10:21.53
You know it's about
getting the new boat
00:10:21.56\00:10:22.94
the new car, the new Harley,
00:10:22.97\00:10:24.49
the new this, the new that.
00:10:24.52\00:10:26.57
All of us thinking is focused
on the things of this earth
00:10:26.60\00:10:29.10
and God says, Hey, its
all gonna, its all gonna
00:10:29.13\00:10:31.91
you know the moths
are getting eat it up,
00:10:31.94\00:10:33.54
the rust is gonna destroy it
00:10:33.57\00:10:36.10
eventually the fire
of the second coming
00:10:36.13\00:10:37.87
are going to wipe it out.
00:10:37.90\00:10:39.48
So what are the
really important things?
00:10:39.51\00:10:43.36
In verse 24, He gets it
right down to now it says,
00:10:43.39\00:10:46.05
"No man can serve two masters,
for either he will hate the one,
00:10:46.08\00:10:49.86
and he will you
know, hold to the other"
00:10:49.89\00:10:52.14
here despise one
and despise other.
00:10:52.17\00:10:54.25
You cannot serve God."
00:10:54.28\00:10:56.15
And men or money or
the things of this life
00:10:56.18\00:10:58.56
or the death really you
can't serve both of them.
00:10:58.59\00:11:01.44
You can't get on
the fence and try
00:11:01.47\00:11:03.08
and walk that
fence all along the way.
00:11:03.11\00:11:07.22
So, question
comes what is our focus?
00:11:07.25\00:11:09.81
You know, what is your
focus, what is my focus?
00:11:09.84\00:11:13.12
What are the things that are
really important in this life?
00:11:13.15\00:11:18.01
Verse 33, "But seek Ye
First the kingdom of God,
00:11:18.04\00:11:21.82
and all these things
will be added on to you."
00:11:21.85\00:11:25.13
God wants us to prosper,
00:11:25.16\00:11:26.42
He said I wouldn't have
thought proper and be in hell.
00:11:26.45\00:11:29.12
So He does want us to prosper,
00:11:29.15\00:11:30.94
but the way it really prosper
00:11:30.97\00:11:32.50
is grab a whole
first of the things of God
00:11:32.53\00:11:34.79
the things of the kingdom
00:11:34.82\00:11:36.52
and then He will
give us these other things
00:11:36.55\00:11:38.37
you know its just to
keep us going on planet earth
00:11:38.40\00:11:41.19
while we are still here in
our -- in our journey here.
00:11:41.22\00:11:44.80
And then He goes on
right immediately in chapter 7,
00:11:44.83\00:11:48.07
"Hypocrite" you
know if you say --
00:11:48.10\00:11:50.32
point to somebody else
they look at you -- look at you
00:11:50.35\00:11:52.36
what's the matter with you,
00:11:52.39\00:11:53.94
Hey "hypocrite first cast out
the beam out of your own eye,
00:11:53.97\00:11:58.14
so they can see
clearly then you can cast out
00:11:58.17\00:12:00.85
the mote out of
your brother's eye."
00:12:00.88\00:12:02.54
Some people
today talk about well,
00:12:02.57\00:12:04.34
you knows we
can't judge anybody out.
00:12:04.37\00:12:07.29
It's interesting what
the Lord is saying here.
00:12:07.32\00:12:08.74
What does he tell us?
00:12:08.77\00:12:09.80
He said look you can take
00:12:09.83\00:12:11.49
the mote out of
your brother's eye
00:12:11.52\00:12:12.73
but first work on your own life.
00:12:12.76\00:12:15.17
And once your own life
00:12:15.20\00:12:16.50
you have the power
of God living in you
00:12:16.53\00:12:18.43
you have the
transforming power in you
00:12:18.46\00:12:20.20
when you begin getting this
together with God in your life
00:12:20.23\00:12:23.42
then you can go
help your brother
00:12:23.45\00:12:25.10
and its help its not
point to finger out its help,
00:12:25.13\00:12:28.32
your brother or your sister
big difference, big difference.
00:12:28.35\00:12:32.66
Then he -- he goes on here
00:12:32.69\00:12:34.59
and he enters into a
really interesting area
00:12:34.62\00:12:36.86
it cause a lot of people
a lot of struggle verse 13,
00:12:36.89\00:12:40.12
"Enter you in at the strait
gate for wide is the gate,
00:12:40.15\00:12:43.96
and broad is the way,
that leads to destruction"
00:12:43.99\00:12:46.56
and many are
going to find that gate
00:12:46.59\00:12:50.02
because the gate is what?
00:12:50.05\00:12:52.81
But the Lord
says, I need you enter
00:12:52.84\00:12:54.23
in at the straight
gate than narrow gate.
00:12:54.26\00:12:57.70
Lord, the narrow gate,
00:12:57.73\00:12:58.95
how do I ever make
it to the narrow gate,
00:12:58.98\00:13:00.73
where most of the world
is going to the wide gate?
00:13:00.76\00:13:04.20
Well, again it's all about
00:13:04.23\00:13:05.95
a personal
relationship the Lord says,
00:13:05.98\00:13:08.20
this is life eternal
that they might know you,
00:13:08.23\00:13:10.98
the only true
God and Jesus Christ
00:13:11.01\00:13:13.57
whom I have sent.
00:13:13.60\00:13:15.29
It's all about a
friendship and a fellowship
00:13:15.32\00:13:17.59
the knowing there is basically
like Adam knew his wife
00:13:17.62\00:13:21.13
and they can see the
child is very personal,
00:13:21.16\00:13:23.38
it's very intimate.
00:13:23.41\00:13:25.12
So do you know Jesus?
00:13:25.15\00:13:26.86
That's what its all
about, do you really know Jesus
00:13:26.89\00:13:29.10
and when you know Jesus,
00:13:29.13\00:13:30.57
when He becomes
your very best friend,
00:13:30.60\00:13:32.56
they you are
willing to surrender
00:13:32.59\00:13:33.96
the things of this
world, they become meaningless
00:13:33.99\00:13:36.21
because you found a
very, very best friend.
00:13:36.24\00:13:40.91
Will you accept
Jesus totally in your life
00:13:40.94\00:13:43.07
to allow Him to
become your best friend?
00:13:43.10\00:13:45.23
To allow Him to
-- to change you,
00:13:45.26\00:13:46.84
so you can easily then
walk into that straight gate
00:13:46.87\00:13:50.85
because that's
what its all about,
00:13:50.88\00:13:52.84
is allowing God to
guide and direct our steps.
00:13:52.87\00:13:55.97
He says this is the way,
walk around, walk in that light,
00:13:56.00\00:14:01.61
but again it's your choice.
00:14:01.64\00:14:03.30
So how many of you
choose to take it up?
00:14:03.33\00:14:05.36
Anybody here?
00:14:05.39\00:14:06.42
You choose all
right, praise the Lord.
00:14:06.45\00:14:08.35

Now, here is the
information you need,
00:14:37.56\00:14:39.28
call us or visit us online.
00:14:39.31\00:14:41.07
When Jesus
finished chapters 5, 6 and 7
00:14:49.33\00:14:53.31
they begin
coming down the mount.
00:14:53.34\00:14:54.62
They were finished
with that three days
00:14:54.65\00:14:56.41
of time up on the mountain.
00:14:56.44\00:14:58.68
When they came down
people were thinking
00:14:58.71\00:15:00.24
that multitudes follow
him and they are thinking
00:15:00.27\00:15:02.64
where do I get this
power when He is talking about,
00:15:02.67\00:15:04.84
where do I-- I come up with--
00:15:04.87\00:15:07.63
with the energy the fortitude
to do what he is asked.
00:15:07.66\00:15:12.48
But its interesting
because Jesus starts
00:15:12.51\00:15:15.57
writing the devil slabs
Jesus as soon as He comes down
00:15:15.60\00:15:18.70
into the lower
levels near the lake,
00:15:18.73\00:15:20.80
the devil hits Him
time after time after time
00:15:20.83\00:15:23.04
and immediately
a leper came to Him
00:15:23.07\00:15:25.11
and said Lord, heal me, heal me
00:15:25.14\00:15:27.57
and Jesus put forth
His hand in the touch
00:15:27.60\00:15:30.78
of the king of the
universe the Creator God,
00:15:30.81\00:15:32.63
the touch immediately
his leprosy was gone.
00:15:32.66\00:15:37.00
And it continues
on, Peter's mother,
00:15:37.03\00:15:41.03
Peter's mother is
sick she has a fever
00:15:41.06\00:15:43.48
Jesus reaches
down and touches her
00:15:43.51\00:15:45.95
and lifts her up
and she is healed
00:15:45.98\00:15:48.48
immediately again the touch,
00:15:48.51\00:15:51.56
the fever was gone
00:15:51.59\00:15:52.62
and then we find
there is a -- a centurion
00:15:52.65\00:15:54.85
where the list continues
on, actually there are --
00:15:54.88\00:15:57.22
there are about ten
different major miracles,
00:15:57.25\00:16:00.03
just in chapter 8 and 9.
00:16:00.06\00:16:04.32
Well, I love it, there is
one that is one of my favorites
00:16:04.35\00:16:06.68
because this lady
had heard about Jesus,
00:16:06.71\00:16:08.89
I don't know exactly
where she had heard about Him
00:16:08.92\00:16:11.61
but she had heard about Christ
00:16:11.64\00:16:13.82
and she thought if
I can just touch Him,
00:16:13.85\00:16:16.19
may be I'll be heal you see,
00:16:16.22\00:16:17.44
she spent a long
time with doctors,
00:16:17.47\00:16:19.59
she has spent a
lot of money on doctors
00:16:19.62\00:16:21.36
and she couldn't be
healed just it didn't happen.
00:16:21.39\00:16:25.40
But she heard so
much about Jesus,
00:16:25.43\00:16:27.06
she just knew in her
heart if I can just touch Him
00:16:27.09\00:16:28.97
I'll be healed.
00:16:29.00\00:16:30.61
By the time she found Christ,
00:16:30.64\00:16:32.55
there was people
crowding all over everywhere
00:16:32.58\00:16:35.71
and she couldn't get to Him
00:16:35.74\00:16:36.89
but she finally got
down in her heals and knees
00:16:36.92\00:16:39.17
and there in her hands and knees
00:16:39.20\00:16:40.90
she crawled through the crowd
and she finally reached arm
00:16:40.93\00:16:43.62
and she touched
the hymn of His garment
00:16:43.65\00:16:45.70
and immediately,
immediately she was healed
00:16:45.73\00:16:48.80
and she crawled back up
and she went away rejoicing.
00:16:48.83\00:16:52.28
She got out of the crowd
and she started going away
00:16:52.31\00:16:54.67
and Jesus stopped.
00:16:54.70\00:16:56.30
Jesus turned around
and said who touched me?
00:16:56.33\00:16:59.56
The disciples all
say but-- you know Lord,
00:16:59.59\00:17:02.82
look at all the crowd around
you and you say who touched?
00:17:02.85\00:17:04.96
You people are
pressing on You from every side.
00:17:04.99\00:17:07.06
He said, I felt virtue go
out of me and then He looks
00:17:07.09\00:17:12.21
and He sees this
lady, He knows who it is,
00:17:12.24\00:17:14.13
He sees this
lady He says daughter,
00:17:14.16\00:17:17.56
this lady had never
been called daughter.
00:17:17.59\00:17:19.21
He never, Jesus never
called anyone daughter
00:17:19.24\00:17:21.78
that I know Him the scriptures
before daughter come here.
00:17:21.81\00:17:26.07
She wanted, you know she wanted
to be left alone kind off,
00:17:26.10\00:17:28.73
she want to secretly go away
but Jesus called her to Him.
00:17:28.76\00:17:32.85
And had a wonderful conversation
while this ladies heart
00:17:32.88\00:17:35.90
when she finally went
away she was just thrilled
00:17:35.93\00:17:38.16
she was rejoice over
talking with the-- the master
00:17:38.19\00:17:41.77
with the Lord of the universe.
00:17:41.80\00:17:44.30
God, you see it's the touch
of Jesus Christ, His touch.
00:17:44.33\00:17:50.37
Jesus would talk
through entire towns,
00:17:50.40\00:17:52.57
He would come in one
gate and go out the other
00:17:52.60\00:17:54.75
and everybody in the town
would be healed, everybody,
00:17:54.78\00:17:58.01
there wasn't anybody
00:17:58.04\00:17:59.56
that who wouldn't be
healed by the Master's touch.
00:17:59.59\00:18:03.39
Over in chapter 9,
00:18:03.42\00:18:07.44
we find an interesting
thing, He says, verse 36,
00:18:07.47\00:18:11.25
"But when He saw the multitudes,
00:18:11.28\00:18:13.00
He was moved with
compassion on them,
00:18:13.03\00:18:16.06
because they were as
sheep having no shepherd."
00:18:16.09\00:18:20.67
They were scattered everywhere,
as sheep having no shepherd.
00:18:20.70\00:18:24.33
Jesus wanted to
come here to planet earth
00:18:24.36\00:18:26.17
to dispel the lies of the devil.
00:18:26.20\00:18:28.18
The devil lied to us so
much but I remember a time
00:18:28.21\00:18:31.95
when a big old limp
fell across to our van
00:18:31.98\00:18:34.96
and it crushed
the top of our van
00:18:34.99\00:18:37.37
and I called the
insurance company and I said --
00:18:37.40\00:18:39.65
can you -- can
you do something here
00:18:39.68\00:18:40.82
and they said no, no,
no that's an act of God.
00:18:40.85\00:18:44.07
I said, what do
you mean an act of God?
00:18:44.10\00:18:47.17
I said can I-- can
I take you to court
00:18:47.20\00:18:50.83
and I'll prove it to the
act of the devil then what?
00:18:50.86\00:18:53.36
Well, there was dead
silence on the other end
00:18:53.39\00:18:56.35
because you see the
devil has tried to portray
00:18:56.38\00:18:59.67
throughout human history
that it's all God's fault.
00:18:59.70\00:19:01.92
We are stuck here on
this planet with all this--
00:19:01.95\00:19:03.95
all this evil all the heartache,
all the troubles and trails
00:19:03.98\00:19:07.65
and we blame it on God
but its all the devil's fault,
00:19:07.68\00:19:11.68
its all about the devil
in that case, its not God's.
00:19:11.71\00:19:16.00
God has come here
to show us His love.
00:19:16.03\00:19:19.32
He came here on
planet earth to show us that
00:19:19.35\00:19:21.39
He will set us free
when we call out to God.
00:19:21.42\00:19:24.09
He will kick the devil out,
00:19:24.12\00:19:25.56
He will change things
when we call out to God,
00:19:25.59\00:19:27.73
He will change our
lives fully and completely.
00:19:27.76\00:19:32.16
And that's what God
is inviting you to do,
00:19:32.19\00:19:33.87
to invite Him in
and see stains and marks
00:19:33.90\00:19:36.92
at the doors of your
heart of your temple.
00:19:36.95\00:19:39.49
He want's to remodel
your life when you invite Him.
00:19:39.52\00:19:42.27
He will do just
that-- He has the power.
00:19:42.30\00:19:44.61
He has got the --
the explosive power,
00:19:44.64\00:19:47.37
He is the king of the
universe to change your life,
00:19:47.40\00:19:50.01
to invite Him into their way.
00:19:50.04\00:19:51.51

call us or visit us online.
00:20:29.95\00:20:31.69
Now, this home was
built in the 1700s,
00:20:39.55\00:20:42.36
during that period the famous
preacher John Wesley said,
00:20:42.39\00:20:45.04
give me 100 men who
fear nothing but sin
00:20:45.07\00:20:48.00
and desire nothing
but God and care nothing
00:20:48.03\00:20:50.37
whether they be
clergymen or lay men.
00:20:50.40\00:20:52.48
They alone will
shake the gates of hell
00:20:52.51\00:20:54.62
and set up the kingdom
of heaven here upon earth.
00:20:54.65\00:20:58.21
Now, here I'm,
in the 21st century
00:20:58.24\00:21:00.73
and God is still
looking for such men and women.
00:21:00.76\00:21:03.68
Men and women He can
trust with His power.
00:21:03.71\00:21:07.47
We discover Jesus
confirming believable power
00:21:07.50\00:21:10.10
in Matthew 10 on His disciples.
00:21:10.13\00:21:12.77
He called the disciples together
and gave them this power,
00:21:12.80\00:21:15.97
He said here I give it to you.
00:21:16.00\00:21:18.28
Now, there are
two types of power
00:21:18.31\00:21:19.72
one is the -- the Exousia power
00:21:19.75\00:21:22.20
in the Greek it
means the authority
00:21:22.23\00:21:24.48
he conveys upon
them the authority.
00:21:24.51\00:21:27.00
The other is the Dunamis power
00:21:27.03\00:21:28.80
the dynamite power
the explosive power
00:21:28.83\00:21:31.09
it's where we get our
English word for dynamite
00:21:31.12\00:21:34.31
it is absolutely explosive.
00:21:34.34\00:21:36.24
As the creator of the
universe and ruler of all
00:21:41.11\00:21:43.86
God has the
authority to command,
00:21:43.89\00:21:46.16
both His authority
and explosive power
00:21:46.19\00:21:48.33
were and are
combined to defeat the devil
00:21:48.36\00:21:50.82
and his evil angels.
00:21:50.85\00:21:52.76
That's why when the 70
followers of Christ returned
00:21:52.79\00:21:55.89
they were so
joyful because they said
00:21:55.92\00:21:58.04
even the devils are
subject onto your name.
00:21:58.07\00:22:00.93
They were absolutely, amazed
00:22:00.96\00:22:02.35
that the power of
God had given them.
00:22:02.38\00:22:04.15
Look I read my Bible from cover
to cover, and God never looses.
00:22:04.18\00:22:08.98
Any time He goes toe to toe
of the devil God always wins.
00:22:09.01\00:22:13.14
That's why I believe in
Matthew Chapters 8 and 9.
00:22:13.17\00:22:16.85
Well, they are included in here
00:22:16.88\00:22:18.34
because it
chronicles every loss of Satan.
00:22:18.37\00:22:21.55
Nothing is too hard for God.
00:22:21.58\00:22:23.27
Oh, yes, except
dealing with your will.
00:22:23.30\00:22:26.75
He cannot do
anything against your will,
00:22:26.78\00:22:29.18
He must be
invited in to help you.
00:22:29.21\00:22:31.92
If you invite Him God
will use that explosive power
00:22:31.95\00:22:35.04
to fight for you
indeed He will give it to you.
00:22:35.07\00:22:38.87
Power will come
and abide in you.
00:22:38.90\00:22:41.00
You are not left to
fight the devil on your own,
00:22:41.03\00:22:43.04
no matter what your problem is,
00:22:43.07\00:22:44.42
no matter what you
are dealing within life.
00:22:44.45\00:22:47.21
Romans 8 says,
what shall then we--
00:22:47.24\00:22:49.34
we say about these things,
00:22:49.37\00:22:50.94
that God before us
who can be against us.
00:22:50.97\00:22:54.23
Ephesians 6:10,
11 says these words,
00:22:57.37\00:23:00.69
"Finally, my
brother, be strong in the Lord
00:23:00.72\00:23:03.17
and the power of His might
put on the whole amour of God,
00:23:03.20\00:23:06.88
so that you may be able to stand
against the wilds of the devil."
00:23:06.91\00:23:10.97
John Wesley was
looking for a 100 Christians
00:23:11.00\00:23:13.08
who feared nothing but sin
and desired nothing but God
00:23:13.11\00:23:16.74
and they would rock
the world for Christ.
00:23:16.77\00:23:19.70
Jesus is still looking
for such men and women today.
00:23:19.73\00:23:22.82
Will you choose to
become one of them?
00:23:22.85\00:23:24.66
Billy Sunday once
said, "We have a God
00:23:29.57\00:23:31.32
who delights in
impossibilities."
00:23:31.35\00:23:34.40
In Matthew Chapter 10,
00:23:34.43\00:23:35.98
Jesus multiple times
said fear not, fear not,
00:23:36.01\00:23:39.66
don't fear but
you know in this world
00:23:39.69\00:23:41.18
we got such a
quite mild sin where,
00:23:41.21\00:23:43.27
we are bagged
down so many times.
00:23:43.30\00:23:45.23
It's really difficult to --
to begin getting a grasp on this
00:23:45.26\00:23:48.58
until we actually begin
looking at the size of God.
00:23:48.61\00:23:52.88
When you begin
seeing the size of your God,
00:23:52.91\00:23:54.86
you see that determines--
00:23:54.89\00:23:56.55
determines the success of
your transformation journey.
00:23:56.58\00:24:00.16
Children of Israel had
that real problem too, they--
00:24:00.19\00:24:02.90
they ended up at the
boarders of the promise land.
00:24:02.93\00:24:05.83
God said, hey, it's all yours
00:24:05.86\00:24:07.69
I have given it to you take
it, just go in and possess it.
00:24:07.72\00:24:11.08
Well, the first thing they
had to do is send the spies.
00:24:11.11\00:24:13.90
Forty days the spies were
in there and on the way out
00:24:13.93\00:24:16.86
I get the idea that one of
them they looked and said wow,
00:24:16.89\00:24:19.93
look, look here
comes the spies mom,
00:24:19.96\00:24:21.50
here comes the spies.
00:24:21.53\00:24:23.57
Between those two
spies had one pole
00:24:23.60\00:24:25.54
and one monster
cluster of grapes.
00:24:25.57\00:24:27.66
Can you imagine it took two guys
to carry a cluster of grapes,
00:24:27.69\00:24:30.33
its kind of like hey
come on over to my house
00:24:30.36\00:24:31.84
we will split a grape, you know,
00:24:31.87\00:24:33.84
and it was every thing that God
said it was -- it was marvelous
00:24:33.87\00:24:39.91
but then one of the
guys said nevertheless,
00:24:39.94\00:24:43.09
nevertheless there
is giants in the land.
00:24:43.12\00:24:45.73
And another one said,
00:24:45.76\00:24:46.79
yeah, we are like
grasshoppers in our own sight,
00:24:46.82\00:24:48.57
we are like tiny grasshoppers.
00:24:48.60\00:24:49.99
We can never go
and possess the land
00:24:50.02\00:24:52.51
and they wined and
they cried and they--
00:24:52.54\00:24:54.52
they wept all night long even
thought to of the spies said
00:24:54.55\00:24:57.46
we are well, able to
go in and take it over.
00:24:57.49\00:24:59.65
We are well able to do
this, and so God said fine,
00:24:59.68\00:25:04.07
and for 40 years they
continued the journey.
00:25:04.10\00:25:06.41
Every one of them died
off, everyone of them--
00:25:06.44\00:25:09.25
Well, they didn't
posses the Promised Land
00:25:09.28\00:25:11.01
even though it was all about God
00:25:11.04\00:25:12.51
and God said, "you can do it."
00:25:12.54\00:25:15.28
They lost out on
the Promised Land.
00:25:15.31\00:25:17.43
See, when you believe it nothing
00:25:17.46\00:25:19.06
significant can
happen through you,
00:25:19.09\00:25:21.45
you said more about your
relationship and about God,
00:25:21.48\00:25:25.56
then you really
said about yourself.
00:25:25.59\00:25:29.47
It was such a promise,
such a terrible situation
00:25:29.50\00:25:31.86
but it's been that way
seems like to our history Jesus
00:25:31.89\00:25:35.38
and the disciples got on a boat.
00:25:35.41\00:25:36.90
But you know, we've got
a more modern boat today
00:25:36.93\00:25:39.03
but they got on a boat.
00:25:39.06\00:25:40.78
And they're out there and these
season fishermen rowing in it,
00:25:40.81\00:25:43.82
they're rowing and pretty soon
00:25:43.85\00:25:45.88
the wind blows off the
lake or down to the lake
00:25:45.91\00:25:49.09
and the waves are whipping
up higher and higher and higher.
00:25:49.12\00:25:51.59
And the season fishermen,
they're about to ready to drown.
00:25:51.62\00:25:54.96
I mean it's looking
pretty critical for them.
00:25:54.99\00:25:57.38
And they look
around and all of a sudden
00:25:57.41\00:25:58.73
there is a big
old flash of lightning
00:25:58.76\00:26:00.61
and they see Jesus in the
back of the boat and guess what?
00:26:00.64\00:26:03.37
What do you
think Jesus was doing?
00:26:03.40\00:26:05.43
He's sound asleep.
00:26:05.46\00:26:06.92
He is a asleep in
the back of the boat
00:26:06.95\00:26:08.49
and one of the disciples
they get up from the rowing
00:26:08.52\00:26:10.55
and runs to the back of
the boats and said, Lord,
00:26:10.58\00:26:12.61
don't you care
we are going to die.
00:26:12.64\00:26:16.48
What do you think
Jesus really care?
00:26:16.51\00:26:18.72
Yeah, Jesus really did care
00:26:18.75\00:26:20.80
you know, he -- all
alone he said fear not
00:26:20.83\00:26:24.12
you know the
creator God of the universe
00:26:24.15\00:26:25.87
was in the boat way.
00:26:25.90\00:26:27.65
And Jesus said, oh,
you of little faith.
00:26:27.68\00:26:29.84
He stood up held
His hands out and says,
00:26:29.87\00:26:32.26
peace be still and billions
and billions of gallons of water
00:26:32.29\00:26:35.10
raging a revolutionary storm
00:26:35.13\00:26:36.50
on the Sea of Galilee
smooth out like a mirror
00:26:36.53\00:26:40.15
and all the
boats surrounding them
00:26:40.18\00:26:41.38
close proximity said
what manner of man is this,
00:26:41.41\00:26:43.77
even the winds
and the waves are bam!
00:26:43.80\00:26:46.44
He is God incarnate He
took of his kingly robes
00:26:46.47\00:26:49.48
stepped into steeped
into humanity to save us,
00:26:49.51\00:26:53.14
but He is still God also.
00:26:53.17\00:26:54.96
He can do
anything God wants to do
00:26:54.99\00:26:56.89
and He can do anything in us.
00:26:56.92\00:26:58.15
You see remember, He
choose to die for you.
00:26:58.18\00:27:01.61
And that's how special
you are when you ask for help.
00:27:01.64\00:27:05.17
All of heaven will
be there to assist you.
00:27:05.20\00:27:07.32
When you ask to be remodeled
and transformed into his image
00:27:07.35\00:27:11.11
He'll answer your prayer
because He has the power.
00:27:11.14\00:27:16.27
On the mountain top, our
Lord laid out His desire for us
00:27:16.30\00:27:19.00
to be separate from sin to stop
00:27:19.03\00:27:21.03
following every
will of the devil.
00:27:21.06\00:27:23.64
The moment He came
down from the mountain top,
00:27:23.67\00:27:26.39
the devil hit Jesus
with everything he had
00:27:26.42\00:27:29.82
but it was useless.
00:27:29.85\00:27:31.39
God is the all time undefeated
champion of the world,
00:27:31.42\00:27:34.18
He never loses.
00:27:34.21\00:27:36.32
He's asking you to live a
life fully committed to Him
00:27:36.35\00:27:39.29
to serving Him to dispel the sin
00:27:39.32\00:27:42.55
and the darkness in
your life by inviting Him in,
00:27:42.58\00:27:45.57
allowing Him to
kick the devil out.
00:27:45.60\00:27:48.75
When you're standing
upon the shoulders of God
00:27:48.78\00:27:51.65
there are no giants in the land.
00:27:51.68\00:27:55.01
Right now asks Him to
change, change you this moment.
00:27:55.04\00:27:58.59
You will be happy
you did and remember
00:27:58.62\00:28:01.12
when the will of man
cooperates with the will of God
00:28:01.15\00:28:04.39
it becomes one
all powerful will.
