A man. 00:06:37.19\00:06:40.03 You know, I 7 debt dentist. 00:06:40.03\00:06:42.40 We used to be known as the people of the book. Are you 00:06:42.40\00:06:45.50 familiar with that term? The people of the book? 00:06:45.50\00:06:48.47 I'm a newcomer. So I just became familiarized with that 00:06:48.47\00:06:51.41 term. The people of the book. 00:06:51.41\00:06:53.27 I remember when I was a traveling from, 00:06:53.27\00:06:57.31 I was traveling from London to go to Israel to do some 00:06:57.31\00:07:00.32 evangelists to meetings out in on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. 00:07:00.32\00:07:04.32 And I 00:07:04.32\00:07:05.52 as I boarded the plane, I sat next to this Israeli gentleman. 00:07:05.52\00:07:08.79 And to this day, I still can't remember exactly what it was 00:07:08.79\00:07:12.73 that led to us getting into a conversation. But we began 00:07:12.73\00:07:16.10 laughing and talking as if we had known each other and the 00:07:16.10\00:07:19.57 way that we were interacting with one another was so 00:07:19.57\00:07:21.90 intimate that the people that were traveling to do Israel 00:07:21.90\00:07:26.68 with me, they actually thought I already knew this man. 00:07:26.68\00:07:30.21 So as we were in the plane and we took off. So he asked me, 00:07:30.21\00:07:33.35 what are you going to Israel for an I told him that I'm 00:07:33.35\00:07:35.68 going to be doing some evangelists to meetings there. 00:07:35.68\00:07:37.95 And he said, oh, so you're you're a Christian. And I say, 00:07:37.95\00:07:40.62 yeah, 00:07:40.62\00:07:42.19 he said, well, what denomination are you a part of? 00:07:42.19\00:07:43.26 I said on the 7 dead dentist, 00:07:43.26\00:07:45.56 he said to have been to 7th day. 00:07:45.56\00:07:48.16 I don't know what the 7 Day Adventists is. What is the 7th 00:07:48.16\00:07:50.30 Day Adventist. 00:07:50.30\00:07:51.57 And I thought to myself, this is going to be interesting. 00:07:51.57\00:07:54.94 So I said, well, 00:07:54.94\00:07:56.94 we have we have some things in common 00:07:56.94\00:07:59.77 like you, I believe in keeping God, seven-day Sabbath. Holy, 00:07:59.77\00:08:04.85 I also believe in following the health law's of Moses. But, 00:08:04.85\00:08:09.62 you know, I actually follow 00:08:09.62\00:08:13.12 God's recommended diet in the book of Genesis, 00:08:13.12\00:08:16.49 Akio, even like that. You say then for that one, 00:08:16.49\00:08:22.10 as I said this, these things to this gentleman, he looked at me 00:08:22.10\00:08:25.33 and he said, you know what? 00:08:25.33\00:08:27.04 At first I was happy that I was sitting next to you. 00:08:27.04\00:08:32.21 And then he said 00:08:32.21\00:08:34.31 now I feel on it. 00:08:34.31\00:08:36.54 Your son of Noah, 00:08:39.48\00:08:42.25 you're the people of the book 00:08:42.25\00:08:45.49 and he took a scarf 00:08:45.49\00:08:47.42 from around his neck 00:08:47.42\00:08:49.12 and he put it around my neck. 00:08:49.12\00:08:51.56 And then when we got to the airport there 00:08:51.56\00:08:54.66 in Jerusalem, he took my bags off of the turnstile and put it 00:08:54.66\00:08:58.83 on the card. I said I am the people of the book. 00:08:58.83\00:09:02.14 I was my friend. 00:09:02.14\00:09:04.31 Others insist says it's a it's an honor to be a known as the 00:09:04.31\00:09:07.81 people of the book. 00:09:07.81\00:09:09.44 I really think that we should seek to the store that moniker 00:09:09.44\00:09:13.78 to write standing amidst what do you say 00:09:13.78\00:09:16.75 before we get into the word of God this evening as that will 00:09:16.75\00:09:19.35 be dealing with the subject, the just shall live by faith. 00:09:19.35\00:09:23.46 So is my tradition to encourage everyone to pray and because of 00:09:23.46\00:09:26.86 an audience, he I can encourage you all the way. Please do 2 00:09:26.86\00:09:29.76 things. Number one, please pay for yourself. 00:09:29.76\00:09:32.00 I fully believe that every time that the Bible is open, that it 00:09:32.00\00:09:35.07 is the got the desired got to put his spirit upon us. He 00:09:35.07\00:09:37.94 wants us to know what his will is for such a time. Is this all 00:09:37.94\00:09:41.24 we have to do is ask 00:09:41.24\00:09:43.65 he says if we being even know how to get good things and to 00:09:43.65\00:09:46.35 our children, how much more with our father, which is in 00:09:46.35\00:09:48.38 heaven, give the whole the spit on to them that asking. 00:09:48.38\00:09:51.19 So simply if we request and humility, God will answer. 00:09:51.19\00:09:55.96 And we will. We see that which we need for this time in which 00:09:55.96\00:09:59.23 we stand 00:09:59.23\00:10:00.36 and please pray for myself as well. Because I know that I 00:10:00.36\00:10:02.76 need the Lord. 00:10:02.76\00:10:04.23 I just want to be used by him.

I believe to most of us 00:14:22.49\00:14:25.99 here, 00:14:25.99\00:14:27.50 some 33 looking at the 6 verse 00:14:27.50\00:14:30.17 the word of God, the clearance 00:14:30.17\00:14:32.60 by the word of the Lord with the heavens made 00:14:32.60\00:14:35.30 and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth 00:14:35.30\00:14:38.81 verse 9 goes on to say for he spake and it was done. He 00:14:38.81\00:14:43.55 commanded and it stood fast. You may not understand this, 00:14:43.55\00:14:49.68 but us comprehending us understanding us fully 00:14:49.68\00:14:53.49 embracing the reality that the word of God is responsible for 00:14:53.49\00:14:58.23 bringing everything invisible creation into existence. 00:14:58.23\00:15:02.33 Us understanding that truth is literally fundamental. It's a 00:15:02.33\00:15:06.37 cornerstone to our belief system as Christians, 00:15:06.37\00:15:10.77 just fully comprehending realizing embracing that God's 00:15:10.77\00:15:14.98 word is responsible for all things in the visible world. 00:15:14.98\00:15:20.32 He created all things by his word. This is very critical to 00:15:20.32\00:15:24.95 our belief system. As Christians matter of fact, 00:15:24.95\00:15:27.19 goes into the book of Hebrews Chapter 11 00:15:27.19\00:15:30.29 in Hebrews. The 11th chapter beginning got first one. 00:15:30.29\00:15:33.23 This truth is expounded on Hebrews chapter 11 verse that I 00:15:33.23\00:15:37.23 give you 00:15:37.23\00:15:38.57 Good Hebrews. Chapter 11, looking at the first verse. 00:15:38.57\00:15:41.87 The Bible tells us there. Now faith is the substance of 00:15:41.87\00:15:45.61 things hoped for the evidence of things not seen by the 00:15:45.61\00:15:50.45 Elders obtained a good report. Now, look at first 3 00:15:50.45\00:15:54.18 through faith. We understand 00:15:54.18\00:15:57.39 that the world were framed by the word all God, so that that 00:15:57.39\00:16:02.62 things which are 00:16:02.62\00:16:04.69 scene were not made by things which do up here to see what 00:16:04.69\00:16:09.00 the Bible is telling us here. 00:16:09.00\00:16:11.27 The word of God is telling us that the invisible word of God 00:16:11.27\00:16:14.94 is responsible for bringing into existence things that are 00:16:14.94\00:16:18.71 tangible, 00:16:18.71\00:16:20.01 things that are physical but we can touch we can put our hands 00:16:20.01\00:16:23.51 on. We can view with the naked eye. Are you following so far 00:16:23.51\00:16:27.18 the word of God is responsible for bringing these things into 00:16:27.18\00:16:30.62 existence. 00:16:30.62\00:16:32.59 That's amazing. 00:16:32.59\00:16:34.12 So in Genesis Chapter one when God said let there be light, 00:16:34.12\00:16:37.06 there was no light previous to that declaration when he said 00:16:37.06\00:16:40.76 let there be light light came into existence 00:16:40.76\00:16:44.97 because the light existed in his word 00:16:44.97\00:16:50.21 in Genesis, Chapter one and verse 14 when God said that 00:16:50.21\00:16:53.31 they be like in the firmament of the heaven, 00:16:53.31\00:16:55.81 the divide the day from the night 00:16:55.81\00:16:57.88 and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and 00:16:57.88\00:17:01.22 for years. And then it goes on to Denver, 16 into clears. 00:17:01.22\00:17:04.95 So you made 2 great lights, the great ally to rule the day and 00:17:04.95\00:17:08.19 the less alike to rule the night and he made the stars. 00:17:08.19\00:17:11.19 Also, I don't even know if there was a such thing as the 00:17:11.19\00:17:14.36 sun 00:17:14.36\00:17:15.50 Moon or a star prior to God making that declaration. 00:17:15.50\00:17:20.87 But one thing is certain 00:17:20.87\00:17:23.67 when God said 00:17:23.67\00:17:25.51 let there be light in the firmament, 00:17:25.51\00:17:28.48 the moon came into existence. 00:17:28.48\00:17:31.18 The sun began to burn 00:17:31.18\00:17:34.08 the stars big n Twinkly 00:17:34.08\00:17:37.29 friends because those things that are tangible existed in 00:17:37.29\00:17:41.92 the invisible words, 00:17:41.92\00:17:44.46 God's word doesn't possess creative power. God's word is 00:17:44.46\00:17:48.73 creative power 00:17:48.73\00:17:51.87 and it is through faith that we understand that the word is a 00:17:51.87\00:17:56.44 creative agency. If you're with me say, Matt, 00:17:56.44\00:17:59.67 that's important 00:17:59.67\00:18:01.41 this could all fall. It's critical for us to understand 00:18:01.41\00:18:03.85 that. 00:18:03.85\00:18:05.15 I want you to talk with what you go with me. I thought I was 00:18:05.15\00:18:07.72 going to go to Titus Titus Chapter one. We're talking 00:18:07.72\00:18:11.29 about the word of God 00:18:11.29\00:18:13.49 in Titus. Chapter one, 00:18:13.49\00:18:16.36 looking at 00:18:16.36\00:18:18.53 verse 2. 00:18:18.53\00:18:20.96 It says they're in hope of everlasting life in hope 00:18:20.96\00:18:25.20 of eternal life, 00:18:25.20\00:18:27.24 which God who cannot lie promised. 00:18:27.24\00:18:31.97 >> Before the world began, 00:18:31.97\00:18:35.24 the one truth that I want you to extract from that simple 00:18:35.24\00:18:38.61 verse is this God cannot lie, 00:18:38.61\00:18:44.95 which means God is too, 00:18:44.95\00:18:48.02 isn't that what John? 17 17 tells us sanctify them through 00:18:48.02\00:18:51.66 the night to thy word is huge. Therefore, whatever God speaks, 00:18:51.66\00:18:57.80 it's true. 00:18:57.80\00:18:59.47 >> Because God cannot live. Now coupled with that, the fact 00:18:59.47\00:19:03.44 that God's word 00:19:03.44\00:19:05.87 is creative power 00:19:05.87\00:19:08.01 and that means whatever God declares to be will be even if 00:19:08.01\00:19:13.82 it never has been. You don't get that point 00:19:13.82\00:19:18.42 because God cannot want 00:19:18.42\00:19:21.06 so whatever God that clears it will be even if it never 00:19:21.06\00:19:25.66 existed before 00:19:25.66\00:19:27.96 whatever got promises will become a tangible reality, 00:19:27.96\00:19:31.60 even if it seems farfetched an impossible 00:19:31.60\00:19:37.57 because that is the nature of the word of God and something 00:19:37.57\00:19:41.28 else that we didn't touch on 00:19:41.28\00:19:43.51 that the Bible presents to us in psalm 33 and verse 9 that 00:19:43.51\00:19:48.95 when he speaks not only are things done, but he commands 00:19:48.95\00:19:52.12 and they stand fast, which lets us know that when God's word 00:19:52.12\00:19:55.82 brings things into existence, he doesn't leave creation by 00:19:55.82\00:19:59.56 itself to maintain itself. 00:19:59.56\00:20:03.93 God's word itself sustains what the were brings into existence. 00:20:03.93\00:20:09.84 So God makes himself up countable for his own words. 00:20:09.84\00:20:13.88 That means God holds himself accountable to his promises to 00:20:13.88\00:20:18.05 get the point friends. 00:20:18.05\00:20:20.18 Now, why is all that important? 00:20:22.92\00:20:25.65 It's all important because that scripture, you know very well. 00:20:25.65\00:20:29.89 In Romans. Chapter 10 verse 17 tenure Bibles there. 00:20:29.89\00:20:34.83 Romans chapter 10 verse that I get you 00:20:34.83\00:20:37.43 good Romans Chapter 10 and we're looking at the 17th 00:20:37.43\00:20:40.60 verse, the word of God simply states the U.S. here. So then 00:20:40.60\00:20:44.34 faith coming by I hearing and hearing by the law 00:20:44.34\00:20:50.81 friends, 00:20:50.81\00:20:52.68 the foundation of all true, real functional faith is what 00:20:52.68\00:20:58.39 you feel say, men, 00:20:58.39\00:20:59.85 why use a game? And that's a lot. 00:20:59.85\00:21:02.82 I literally get the scripture. I lie to you and you said Amen. 00:21:02.82\00:21:08.10 So you're not okay. I love it. 00:21:08.10\00:21:12.37 The foundation of all true 00:21:12.37\00:21:16.30 functional pay 00:21:16.30\00:21:18.61 is the word of God. 00:21:18.61\00:21:20.61 It has nothing to do with what you feel. What you think. 00:21:20.61\00:21:24.61 What's the logical to you are irrational to you? All of those 00:21:24.61\00:21:28.18 things have nothing to do with the equation of what faith is 00:21:28.18\00:21:35.39 founded on the word of God, not with your spirit tells you. 00:21:35.39\00:21:42.00 So if you have a faith 00:21:42.00\00:21:44.30 that is not founded on the word of God, 00:21:44.30\00:21:47.47 in reality, you have no faith 00:21:47.47\00:21:53.68 and that will be made abundantly clear in the very 00:21:53.68\00:21:57.01 near future when the winds begin to blow 00:21:57.01\00:22:00.72 and the floods began rising. 00:22:00.72\00:22:04.02 And when those wins and the trials that are coming in the 00:22:04.02\00:22:07.79 crisis before us slide, the structure of this system of 00:22:07.79\00:22:11.89 faith that we've been living by friends. We're going to find 00:22:11.89\00:22:15.26 out that when the enemy Hostin Pos your Faith is seriously 00:22:15.26\00:22:18.67 going to fall down. 00:22:18.67\00:22:21.20 Are you with me friends? 00:22:21.20\00:22:24.71 Only those who have a faith that is rooted in the in the 00:22:24.71\00:22:28.08 unchanging. 00:22:28.08\00:22:30.21 >> Power of the word of God 00:22:30.21\00:22:33.25 that alone will stand. 00:22:33.25\00:22:36.35 Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God 00:22:36.35\00:22:41.19 and a true fate. 00:22:41.19\00:22:43.29 A true faith 00:22:43.29\00:22:44.99 is a belief in the word of God 00:22:44.99\00:22:50.40 that it is 00:22:50.40\00:22:55.07 that everything he says is true 00:22:55.07\00:22:58.47 that all of his promises a trust 00:22:58.47\00:23:01.74 and not only 00:23:01.74\00:23:04.95 the utterances of God true and faithful, 00:23:04.95\00:23:09.32 what every promise ins 00:23:09.32\00:23:12.32 what he whatever he did clear is that he will do. 00:23:12.32\00:23:16.19 He will do it. 00:23:16.19\00:23:19.16 >> Even if he has to create. 00:23:19.16\00:23:22.16 >> A new thing or a new session situation to bring his promise 00:23:22.16\00:23:27.17 into fruition. 00:23:27.17\00:23:28.77 I say that again, 00:23:28.77\00:23:30.74 a true fate. 00:23:33.81\00:23:35.34 >> It's a belief in the word of God that God's word is true. 00:23:35.34\00:23:38.58 He will never lie to you. All of his promises are sure 00:23:38.58\00:23:41.62 and stedfast and whatever he says he has the ability to calm 00:23:41.62\00:23:45.75 accomplished, even if you must create a new thing or a new 00:23:45.75\00:23:50.16 situation so he can fulfill the promise that he's made to you 00:23:50.16\00:23:55.56 friends. This is true. What I'm saying right now, there's not 00:23:55.56\00:23:57.67 some fancy works. 00:23:57.67\00:24:00.34 Think about this. He was chapter 11. We always like to 00:24:00.34\00:24:03.20 talk about Abraham and no law. When we go to Hebrews Chapter 00:24:03.20\00:24:07.24 11, let's talk about Salah. 00:24:07.24\00:24:11.91 I thought the system say it anyway. People's job to 11 it 00:24:11.91\00:24:15.32 with me right now 00:24:15.32\00:24:16.95 in Hebrews Chapter 11, looking at first 11, the Bible says by 00:24:16.95\00:24:22.19 Fay also signed a law 00:24:22.19\00:24:25.46 reesi shrank 00:24:25.46\00:24:27.86 that she should conceive C 00:24:27.86\00:24:32.17 and she was delivered of a child when she was passed age 00:24:32.17\00:24:37.11 because she Judge 10 faithful that promised 00:24:37.11\00:24:42.94 how many of you here have ever see have ever been invited to 00:24:42.94\00:24:46.88 the baby shower of a 90 year-old plus woman. 00:24:46.88\00:24:50.95 Exactly. You're laughing. Why? Because just the idea of a 00:24:50.95\00:24:55.62 90 year old plus woman being pregnant, 00:24:55.62\00:24:59.43 not only is it laughable, it defies all science. It defies 00:24:59.43\00:25:03.33 all logic. It's literally offensive to ration now. 00:25:03.33\00:25:06.87 So much so that when you hear it, you laugh at it. 00:25:06.87\00:25:09.94 That's why when Sauer heard she was going to have a child, 00:25:09.94\00:25:12.87 she laughed. 00:25:12.87\00:25:14.41 You're with me right now, friends. 00:25:14.41\00:25:18.18 But when Savage Judge Tim, that was that promise to be faithful 00:25:18.18\00:25:22.95 to you with me so far, 00:25:22.95\00:25:25.52 the Bible says she Judge 10 that 00:25:25.52\00:25:29.12 promised 00:25:29.12\00:25:30.89 that he was faithful. 00:25:30.89\00:25:32.43 >> It means in her mind she dean that God who gave us her 00:25:32.43\00:25:36.10 this promise was able to act complex. This thing, 00:25:36.10\00:25:41.27 thank God created a new situation that had never been 00:25:41.27\00:25:44.54 seen before. 00:25:44.54\00:25:46.24 A 90 year-old woman carrying a baby. 00:25:46.24\00:25:51.65 That's faith. 00:25:51.65\00:25:54.58 The word of God will go to the extent of creating a situation 00:25:54.58\00:25:58.75 and circumstances that have never been seen before because 00:25:58.75\00:26:02.79 God will always fulfilled his promise to his people. 00:26:02.79\00:26:09.53 Do you believe in God's word in this fashion front, 00:26:09.53\00:26:13.84 do you believe that when God gives his word to you, even if 00:26:13.84\00:26:16.91 he has to create a miracle, he'll do it so that he does not 00:26:16.91\00:26:19.97 find himself in your eyes to be unfaithful. 00:26:19.97\00:26:23.58 God says all do it 00:26:26.75\00:26:29.35 because the just shall live by 00:26:29.35\00:26:35.39 with Matthew Chapter for Matthew Chapter 4. We're 00:26:35.39\00:26:37.89 looking at the 4th verse in Matthew Chapter 4 and verse 4 00:26:37.89\00:26:41.86 as Jesus was in the wilderness of temptation, which most of us 00:26:41.86\00:26:44.93 are familiar with. And after this season of hunger and being 00:26:44.93\00:26:49.50 assailed by Satan, there he was 00:26:49.50\00:26:53.27 Hungary and the enemy comes to in towels. And if thou be the 00:26:53.27\00:26:56.81 son of God come and that the stones may bread and inverse 00:26:56.81\00:27:00.22 for the word of God tells us that Jesus responded to him. 00:27:00.22\00:27:03.75 It is red. 00:27:03.75\00:27:04.85 >> A man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word 00:27:04.85\00:27:10.96 that proceeded out of the mouth Gaw, 00:27:10.96\00:27:15.86 are you with me? Friends? 00:27:15.86\00:27:17.50 So to live by Fay is to live by Watt every word that proceeded 00:27:17.50\00:27:24.51 out of the mouth of gaunt. 00:27:24.51\00:27:27.88 >> And we live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth 00:27:31.18\00:27:34.55 of gone because we believe every word that proceeds out of 00:27:34.55\00:27:38.82 the mouth of God 00:27:38.82\00:27:40.79 as we would take the natural food into our bellies to 00:27:40.79\00:27:45.49 sustain our existence of idolize 00:27:45.49\00:27:51.30 these feeble human frayn's. 00:27:51.30\00:27:53.97 So we must consume the word of God internalize it 00:27:53.97\00:27:58.64 and assimilated 00:27:58.64\00:28:00.78 divide. Allies are Christian experience. 00:28:00.78\00:28:05.18 It's what gives vitality to our Christian wall 00:28:05.18\00:28:09.48 behind our lives 00:28:12.09\00:28:14.42 is Jesus 00:28:14.42\00:28:16.49 and yes. 00:28:16.49\00:28:18.83 Are you with me 00:28:18.83\00:28:22.90 now? Okay. This is what most people stop that 00:28:22.90\00:28:26.47 believe in the word of God. 00:28:26.47\00:28:28.40 It's powerful. It can create miracles. God's word is true. 00:28:28.40\00:28:32.51 Believe in. It. 00:28:32.51\00:28:35.68 Only believe 00:28:35.68\00:28:39.21 I do with me right now. 00:28:39.21\00:28:41.18 This is where most topped with living my pay. 00:28:41.18\00:28:48.06 But I like something that we stated in that verse of 00:28:48.06\00:28:50.56 Scripture 00:28:50.56\00:28:51.79 Mansion, not live by bread alone, but by every word that 00:28:51.79\00:28:54.60 preceded out of the mouth of God, there's something else 00:28:54.60\00:28:58.33 that I want to talk about this evening. 00:28:58.33\00:29:02.80 Go with me in your Bible is we're going to go to the book 00:29:02.80\00:29:05.74 of Matthew Matthew Chapter 00:29:05.74\00:29:08.41 8. I believe it's Matthew Chapter 8 00:29:08.41\00:29:12.31 in Matthew. Chapter 8, the meal for my Bible and make sure I'm 00:29:12.31\00:29:15.58 giving you correct reference 00:29:15.58\00:29:18.02 in Matthew Chapter 8. 00:29:18.02\00:29:21.29 Yeah, that's correct. In Matthew Chapter 8 looking at 00:29:21.29\00:29:24.43 verse to the Bible says and behold, there came a letter 00:29:24.43\00:29:29.10 and worshiped him saying 00:29:29.10\00:29:31.97 if thou wilt 00:29:35.30\00:29:37.41 that tends to make me clean 00:29:37.41\00:29:41.64 and Jesus stretched forth his hand and touched him 00:29:41.64\00:29:45.48 and said 00:29:45.48\00:29:46.92 I will 00:29:46.92\00:29:49.98 thou clean 00:29:49.98\00:29:52.19 and immediately 00:29:52.19\00:29:54.36 his leprosy 00:29:54.36\00:29:56.39 was class. 00:29:56.39\00:29:58.79 There's a lot of beauty and those verses. But there's 00:29:58.79\00:30:00.76 something that I want you to grasp. 00:30:00.76\00:30:04.30 God's word 00:30:07.87\00:30:10.11 is an expression of God's will. 00:30:10.11\00:30:13.51 Did you see that in your Bibles? 00:30:13.51\00:30:16.58 Jesus? Who is the son of God 00:30:16.58\00:30:21.52 when he said 00:30:21.52\00:30:22.85 >> be thou clean. What we heard was the word of God, a man. 00:30:22.85\00:30:27.42 But the only reason he said be thou clean was because he said 00:30:27.42\00:30:31.99 I will 00:30:31.99\00:30:36.10 him declaring that man to be clean was an expression of his 00:30:36.10\00:30:40.87 wheel. 00:30:40.87\00:30:43.10 So the will of God is expressed in the word of God. 00:30:43.10\00:30:49.38 Are you getting the point? 00:30:49.38\00:30:51.58 So when we talk about the just living by Fay 00:30:51.58\00:30:55.92 that just live 00:30:55.92\00:30:58.62 by the will of God, 00:30:58.62\00:31:00.92 you're not with me 00:31:00.92\00:31:03.66 the just live. 00:31:03.66\00:31:06.43 But what God has expressed to be his will. 00:31:06.43\00:31:12.87 That is our bread. That is our meat 00:31:12.87\00:31:18.77 because what you live 00:31:18.77\00:31:20.61 by every word, every expression of the will of God. 00:31:20.61\00:31:26.28 Now you can understand this thought that Jesus presented to 00:31:26.28\00:31:30.25 his disciples in the book of John Chapter 14 member when he 00:31:30.25\00:31:34.69 was talking to this. Imagine woman at the well. 00:31:34.69\00:31:37.73 And after he told yeah, the man that you're with right now, 00:31:37.73\00:31:41.06 he's not your husband as well. 00:31:41.06\00:31:42.83 And she ran to the city and told them all come see him and 00:31:42.83\00:31:45.63 that he's told me everything that I have ever, Don, he must 00:31:45.63\00:31:49.50 be the Christ. And then the disciples came to him saying, 00:31:49.50\00:31:52.51 master, eat, 00:31:52.51\00:31:54.54 you must be hungry. And then Jesus said to them, have me to 00:31:54.54\00:31:57.51 eat that, you know, not do 00:31:57.51\00:32:01.05 in John Chapter 4 and verse. 34 listen to the words of 00:32:01.05\00:32:06.22 Christ. He said my meat, 00:32:06.22\00:32:09.39 my bread is to do the wheel 00:32:09.39\00:32:14.20 to do what 00:32:16.80\00:32:19.20 Miami is to do. The will upend that sent me and to finish his 00:32:19.20\00:32:24.67 work 00:32:24.67\00:32:25.91 friends to live by Bay. 00:32:25.91\00:32:29.78 >> Is to do the wheel 00:32:29.78\00:32:31.91 I got. 00:32:31.91\00:32:34.68 But it also means in doing that we must finish his work. 00:32:34.68\00:32:38.49 That means faith without works is dead. 00:32:38.49\00:32:42.39 Thank you. With the front, 00:32:42.39\00:32:45.86 it's not only just believe because if we embrace the will 00:32:45.86\00:32:49.56 of God, that means there's a work for us to do for got 00:32:49.56\00:32:53.84 brothers insistence 00:32:57.01\00:32:59.67 my meat is to do the will of God and to finish the work that 00:33:03.85\00:33:07.82 sent me. This is what Jesus said. 00:33:07.82\00:33:10.55 That requires patients. 00:33:10.55\00:33:13.92 It requires a host of patients. 00:33:13.92\00:33:18.56 We even see that in the life of Jesus. I want you to think 00:33:18.56\00:33:21.23 about this storm 00:33:21.23\00:33:23.20 in the book of John Chapter 7. 00:33:23.20\00:33:25.63 You can open your bibles there with me. I want to talk a 00:33:25.63\00:33:27.87 little bit, too, as you turn your Bibles there 00:33:27.87\00:33:30.31 in John Chapter 7 inverse tune. 00:33:30.31\00:33:33.07 The Feast of Tabernacles had com 00:33:33.07\00:33:37.05 and at this season, all the men were gathered together as it 00:33:37.05\00:33:40.45 was commended in the book of Moses. 00:33:40.45\00:33:46.82 The Brothers of Jesus came to him and they said to him. 00:33:46.82\00:33:52.43 >> Going show yourself. 00:33:52.43\00:33:55.33 >> Do these works that you've been doing it all of these 00:33:55.33\00:33:58.47 little known obscure or villages and towns? 00:33:58.47\00:34:03.27 Why not go up to today 00:34:03.27\00:34:07.41 with us? And he drew, it is with the priest with the People 00:34:07.41\00:34:10.31 Act goal. Show yourself to Israel, make it known that you 00:34:10.31\00:34:14.58 are the Messiah. You are the chosen seed. 00:34:14.58\00:34:17.29 >> And the reason they were saying this was not because 00:34:17.29\00:34:19.95 they believe that Jesus was the Messiah because if you look at 00:34:19.95\00:34:23.86 John Chapter 7 and verse 5, it tells us for neither did. 00:34:23.86\00:34:27.96 His brother didn't believe in. 00:34:27.96\00:34:30.53 They didn't even believe in. 00:34:30.53\00:34:33.40 But in verse 8, I like the response of Jesus there. 00:34:33.40\00:34:36.20 He said go he up to the feast, 00:34:36.20\00:34:39.47 go he up to the east. 00:34:42.44\00:34:45.05 I go up. Not get to the feast. 00:34:47.95\00:34:51.29 >> For my hour is not yet 00:34:51.29\00:34:57.29 the feast of Tabernacles. This was the last feast, 00:34:57.29\00:35:01.50 the ceremonial services for the year. 00:35:01.50\00:35:05.23 Jesus was the Passover land. Are you following friends? 00:35:05.23\00:35:09.94 He still had time 00:35:09.94\00:35:11.71 before his time would come to the full. 00:35:11.71\00:35:15.34 But can you imagine 00:35:15.34\00:35:17.81 that God inhabited inhabiting humanity 00:35:17.81\00:35:21.82 went through a lot. 00:35:21.82\00:35:24.72 The word of God is clear that he was a man of sorrows, 00:35:24.72\00:35:27.59 a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Think about this 00:35:27.59\00:35:30.96 friends. 00:35:30.96\00:35:32.83 Jesus has to deal with brothers that don't believe in him. 00:35:32.83\00:35:38.20 Chief priest and Pharisees 00:35:38.20\00:35:41.87 speaking ill about him lying on him, always following him 00:35:41.87\00:35:46.54 trying to find some word to use to condemn him. These people 00:35:46.54\00:35:51.65 hate him. 00:35:51.65\00:35:53.11 >> They want to kill him. And then as God in the flesh, 00:35:53.11\00:35:56.02 he's looking at men and women that were made in the image of 00:35:56.02\00:35:59.32 God literally rolling around in the putrid state of sun and 00:35:59.32\00:36:03.69 iniquity 00:36:03.69\00:36:04.79 and Edward dating themselves down to such an extent that 00:36:04.79\00:36:08.10 humanity became vessels fit for the habitation of demons. 00:36:08.10\00:36:13.84 >> And he's looking at all of these things. Can you imagine 00:36:13.84\00:36:17.51 that this really plied the heart of Christ to such an 00:36:17.51\00:36:21.84 extent that at some point in time he might have thought, 00:36:21.84\00:36:24.71 you know what, I really would like to be back in the kingdom 00:36:24.71\00:36:28.05 with my father. 00:36:28.05\00:36:31.92 Can you not see that such a situation would fly one 00:36:31.92\00:36:35.72 patients. 00:36:35.72\00:36:40.66 >> But Jesus had to exercise patients. 00:36:40.66\00:36:44.33 You know why? 00:36:44.33\00:36:46.10 Because he knew yet to finish the work 00:36:46.10\00:36:50.41 because living by faith demands that you finish the work. 00:36:50.41\00:36:56.51 And so he had to exercise patients. The same is true for 00:37:01.45\00:37:05.32 us. You know, 00:37:05.32\00:37:06.99 you open your bibles, the Hebrews where we're going now. 00:37:06.99\00:37:10.56 If you go to Hebrews 00:37:10.56\00:37:13.03 the 10th chapter, I want to look at the first. 35 with me 00:37:13.03\00:37:16.83 in Hebrews Chapter 10 looking at burst. 35, the Bible tells 00:37:16.83\00:37:20.77 us the cast not away there for your confidence, 00:37:20.77\00:37:24.87 which has rate recompense of reward because he had need all 00:37:24.87\00:37:29.54 patients that after you have done Baugh will of God. 00:37:29.54\00:37:34.95 >> You might receive all promise. Don't passed away at 00:37:34.95\00:37:38.49 confidence. Continue to live by bay. 00:37:38.49\00:37:43.22 >> Some of us are here in this world. Friends. The bills start 00:37:43.22\00:37:45.89 mounting up. Family members start dying. You get sick and 00:37:45.89\00:37:48.90 you start questioning your faith. 00:37:48.90\00:37:52.87 Last year in 2020 you are Gone. Co Jesus is coming 3 years 00:37:52.87\00:37:57.61 later.

Because 00:38:14.29\00:38:17.69 >> you have need of patients that after you have done the 00:38:17.69\00:38:22.03 will of God then and only then will you receive the promised 00:38:22.03\00:38:26.13 the kingdom is before us clouds of life. God will bestow upon 00:38:26.13\00:38:30.31 us the roles of righteousness. He longs to adorn us with them, 00:38:30.31\00:38:34.38 but we must finish the work. We have to go for be patient. 00:38:34.38\00:38:39.15 >> That after we've done the will of God, we might. We see 00:38:45.39\00:38:47.69 the promise for yet a little while he that shop com will com 00:38:47.69\00:38:52.09 and we'll not carry now. Look at the next for us. 00:38:52.09\00:38:56.40 Now, the just shall live by bay. 00:38:56.40\00:39:00.64 But if any man jaws back my social not have the light in 00:39:00.64\00:39:03.51 him, would Paul get those words from 00:39:03.51\00:39:06.01 havoc objected to 00:39:06.01\00:39:08.58 and versatile 00:39:08.58\00:39:12.25 matter of fact, Paul actually gave us 00:39:12.25\00:39:16.48 the proper translation of what havoc of Chapter 2 and verse 4 00:39:16.48\00:39:20.99 stated win. It 00:39:20.99\00:39:22.39 presents to us. This idea, 00:39:22.39\00:39:25.33 behold his soul, which is lifted up 00:39:25.33\00:39:29.13 is not a pride in, 00:39:29.13\00:39:31.40 but the just shall live by faith. 00:39:31.40\00:39:34.47 You know, most of the times when you look at have attempted 00:39:34.47\00:39:36.47 to members for all you talk about is the just shall live by 00:39:36.47\00:39:38.91 faith. The just shall live by faith. 00:39:38.91\00:39:41.58 How often do you hear 00:39:41.58\00:39:44.88 any discussion on the issue of the soul that is lifted up is 00:39:44.88\00:39:47.75 not right in 00:39:47.75\00:39:50.19 which is being presented to us in direct contrast 00:39:50.19\00:39:53.89 to the just living my faith 00:39:53.89\00:39:57.29 when the word of God tells us here, the soul that is lifted 00:39:57.29\00:40:00.20 up and him, it is simply staying stating that the man 00:40:00.20\00:40:03.47 and the woman that is pompous 00:40:03.47\00:40:06.00 that is proud that has swelled up that is self will. That is 00:40:06.00\00:40:10.14 what cell wield. 00:40:10.14\00:40:16.78 The one that is presumption is that is agate that will lean 00:40:16.78\00:40:19.81 upon their own understanding. They're sold is not a pride in 00:40:19.81\00:40:23.25 them. The way is not right before the Lord. The just shall 00:40:23.25\00:40:26.49 live by faith in makes a lot of sense because if you're 00:40:26.49\00:40:29.39 self-willed how you're going to live, according to the will of 00:40:29.39\00:40:32.06 God 00:40:32.06\00:40:33.50 because to live by faith is to live according to what the will 00:40:33.50\00:40:38.33 of God is, 00:40:38.33\00:40:41.60 Joe, we'll 00:40:41.60\00:40:44.07 is antagonistic to his will. 00:40:44.07\00:40:48.18 >> And the only way we can live by faith is if we fully 00:40:48.18\00:40:52.28 surrender fully subject all wheel to God's will, 00:40:52.28\00:40:58.99 partial surrender will not do 00:40:58.99\00:41:03.06 total complete surrender to the mind of God and that the lome 00:41:03.06\00:41:09.56 is acceptable 00:41:12.30\00:41:14.90 in the sight of goal. 00:41:14.90\00:41:19.64 >> All wheels must be subject to the will of the. 00:41:19.64\00:41:24.41 >> Even Jesus experience this. 00:41:24.41\00:41:28.92 >> Brothers and sisters. All of us know this. When we 00:41:28.92\00:41:30.85 look at the book of Matthew Chapter, 26 in Matthew. The 26 00:41:30.85\00:41:35.22 top Chapter 10. Your Bibles there with me, if you will. 00:41:35.22\00:41:37.69 You remember in Matthew Chapter? 26 Jesus was in the 00:41:37.69\00:41:41.10 Garden of Gethsemane. 00:41:41.10\00:41:44.33 Any win there. He told his Disciples, All Ye shall be 00:41:44.33\00:41:47.37 offended because of me. This knife with his right and I will 00:41:47.37\00:41:49.57 smite the shepherd and the sheep in the flock shall be 00:41:49.57\00:41:51.71 scattered abroad. But after risen again, I will go before 00:41:51.71\00:41:54.71 you into Galilee and after going back and forth with Peter 00:41:54.71\00:41:57.81 trying to let him understand that he was not as established 00:41:57.81\00:42:01.15 as he thought he was, because just like everyone else, 00:42:01.15\00:42:03.79 he would not die for him. He would be offended by him. 00:42:03.79\00:42:06.52 He would leave him. But anyway, Jesus kept going. 00:42:06.52\00:42:11.66 And then he told his disciples my soul is exceeding sorrowful 00:42:11.66\00:42:14.96 even unto death tally here. And 00:42:14.96\00:42:18.17 watch with me. 00:42:18.17\00:42:19.57 I want you to look at verse. 38 now 00:42:19.57\00:42:22.54 and Matthew. 26 and verse 38 00:42:22.54\00:42:26.21 Jesus in communicating with his father in prayer. He said, 00:42:26.21\00:42:29.94 oh, my father. 00:42:29.94\00:42:32.31 >> If it be possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, 00:42:32.31\00:42:36.72 not as I will. But as 00:42:36.72\00:42:39.19 >> president family members, brothers and sisters, you see 00:42:39.19\00:42:41.76 what's going on here 00:42:41.76\00:42:44.09 as Jesus not comes to the pivotal moment 00:42:44.09\00:42:49.23 with all the sins of humanity from the time of Adam to the 00:42:49.23\00:42:52.90 very last baby that will ever be conceived was being placed 00:42:52.90\00:42:56.07 upon him. 00:42:56.07\00:42:57.41 >> He's feeling the weight of the son of every human being 00:42:57.41\00:43:00.48 that ever was an Everett would come into existence and he's 00:43:00.48\00:43:03.68 beginning to experience the separation that sin because 00:43:03.68\00:43:06.92 pauses between man and dog. He says, you know what, I don't 00:43:06.92\00:43:10.45 like this. 00:43:10.45\00:43:12.19 This humanity did not like it. 00:43:12.19\00:43:17.46 >> We're told in the book does I've ages wonderful book 6.24. 00:43:17.46\00:43:21.70 Paragraph 3, we're told right there that his humanity should 00:43:21.70\00:43:25.23 say 00:43:25.23\00:43:26.47 from that hour of abandonment 00:43:26.47\00:43:31.64 because to every appearance, 00:43:31.64\00:43:35.48 it seemed that everyone 00:43:38.65\00:43:43.35 even a spot 00:43:43.35\00:43:46.45 I was going to do so 00:43:46.45\00:43:50.29 he shrank from it. Do you know that word shrank? It means to 00:43:50.29\00:43:53.46 draw back 00:43:53.46\00:43:54.93 his flesh was flowing back. 00:43:54.93\00:43:57.63 Are you following right now? 00:43:57.63\00:43:59.83 God says if any man who was backed by social not have the 00:43:59.83\00:44:03.24 light in, 00:44:03.24\00:44:04.81 but the flesh of Christ is humanity was flying back from 00:44:04.81\00:44:08.01 the experience. The word of God goes on to tell us when all 00:44:08.01\00:44:11.41 would see him stricken smitten of God and afflicted. 00:44:11.41\00:44:17.59 He shrank 00:44:17.59\00:44:19.62 from public exposure 00:44:19.62\00:44:21.76 from being treated as the worst of criminals. 00:44:21.76\00:44:26.19 He shrank 00:44:28.43\00:44:31.80 from a dishonorable and shameful death. 00:44:31.80\00:44:36.20 In that hour. Jesus is the going back and forth with the 00:44:36.20\00:44:39.57 father is saying, father, I know that we determined any 00:44:39.57\00:44:43.11 turn of the past that this would be the means by which 00:44:43.11\00:44:46.72 that home and it would be made for humanity. But no, I don't 00:44:46.72\00:44:49.85 want to do it anymore. 00:44:49.85\00:44:52.29 It's uncomfortable. 00:44:52.29\00:44:55.09 >> Throughout all eternity. I've been with you and now I'm 00:44:55.09\00:44:58.09 feeling separation from you. This is comfortable. 00:44:58.09\00:45:02.86 I don't like the way these things 00:45:02.86\00:45:05.80 and Jesus could not see through the portals of the world 00:45:10.71\00:45:14.11 within. He said, you know what, fog? 00:45:14.11\00:45:16.48 I must leave them an example for what they must do in their 00:45:16.48\00:45:20.52 time of crisis. 00:45:20.52\00:45:23.39 So Lord, here is my humanity. 00:45:23.39\00:45:26.82 Here is this week's fall and they just not my little, 00:45:26.82\00:45:32.33 but Lord, thy will be done, 00:45:32.33\00:45:36.46 not my weight, 00:45:36.46\00:45:38.80 but thy will be done. 00:45:42.00\00:45:44.01 How would Jesus able to press forward by faith? 00:45:44.01\00:45:49.04 >> Because faith is the substance of things hoped for. 00:45:49.04\00:45:52.35 The evidence of things not see. Jesus could not see through the 00:45:52.35\00:45:56.35 pores of the tomb, but he had the word of God. 00:45:56.35\00:46:01.39 >> He could not see beyond the gray but he had the words of 00:46:01.39\00:46:05.13 the prophets. 00:46:05.13\00:46:07.13 >> Isaiah said in Isaiah Tap to 53 00:46:07.13\00:46:10.97 and verse 11, 00:46:10.97\00:46:12.83 he shall see of the travail of the soul and he shall be 00:46:12.83\00:46:16.40 satisfied 00:46:16.40\00:46:17.87 by his knowledge, Sean. My right to serve and justify many 00:46:17.87\00:46:22.41 before he shot beer, their iniquities fearful. 00:46:22.41\00:46:26.28 I will divide and a portion with the great and he saw the 00:46:26.28\00:46:29.42 by the portion his portion 00:46:29.42\00:46:32.69 with the strong. 00:46:32.69\00:46:36.26 >> Because he poured out his soul on to that 00:46:36.26\00:46:40.23 because he took our sins 00:46:48.10\00:46:51.31 and ball our iniquities 00:46:51.31\00:46:53.84 and in to see that for us. 00:46:53.84\00:46:57.15 He had the words of the prophets. 00:46:57.15\00:47:01.42 He said God's word is true. 00:47:01.42\00:47:04.65 >> Even though I can't see it got cannot lie. 00:47:04.65\00:47:08.79 Even though I cannot sense. It got promises will always 00:47:08.79\00:47:12.39 come to past, 00:47:12.39\00:47:15.73 even though it cannot it. 00:47:15.73\00:47:18.80 There's nothing right now. 00:47:18.80\00:47:22.14 >> There's nothing right now that gives any tangible 00:47:22.14\00:47:25.61 evidence that this is going to happen. But the word of God has 00:47:25.61\00:47:29.58 created 00:47:29.58\00:47:30.68 it will make it happen. 00:47:30.68\00:47:32.85 So as the Bible tells us in Hebrews 00:47:36.35\00:47:39.75 chapter left captive 12 and verse 2 00:47:39.75\00:47:42.99 for the joy that was set before him, 00:47:42.99\00:47:45.66 he endured the cross 00:47:45.66\00:47:48.03 despise the shame 00:47:48.03\00:47:50.13 and he is now set down at the right hand of the throne of God 00:47:50.13\00:47:54.77 because God fulfilled his promise. 00:47:54.77\00:47:58.04 And what we see the air is the faith of Jesus. 00:47:58.04\00:48:02.94 That's the faith of Jesus that all of us are to possess. 00:48:02.94\00:48:06.48 That is the faith of Jesus that all of us. 00:48:06.48\00:48:09.55 >> Our to exhibit in our daily experience, a total reliance 00:48:09.55\00:48:14.62 and dependence in got 00:48:14.62\00:48:18.26 a willingness to fulfill the will of God and to do his work 00:48:18.26\00:48:23.67 even onto the deck and know that God will be with us 00:48:23.67\00:48:29.87 that he'll never leave us will never forsake us 00:48:29.87\00:48:34.44 friends. Abraham believed the promise of God and you never 00:48:34.44\00:48:37.91 saw 00:48:37.91\00:48:39.58 his seed 00:48:39.58\00:48:41.95 as the stars 00:48:41.95\00:48:44.99 that populate the sky. 00:48:44.99\00:48:47.82 But the sense 00:48:47.82\00:48:50.63 that carpet the beach. 00:48:50.63\00:48:52.86 >> But can you imagine in the first resurrection when he's in 00:48:52.86\00:48:55.36 the kingdom 00:48:55.36\00:48:56.70 will be this standing next to Jesus 00:48:56.70\00:48:59.17 and Jesus were point him to look at every head. 00:48:59.17\00:49:01.97 A neighbor. Hamill look over 10 is a father, 00:49:01.97\00:49:04.67 my friend. 00:49:04.67\00:49:06.64 You fulfill the promise. 00:49:06.64\00:49:08.81 Not with me for it 00:49:08.81\00:49:10.85 because God's word is true. 00:49:13.72\00:49:16.25 Do you embrace the word of God true for yourselves? 00:49:19.99\00:49:23.99 This is the faith of Jesus that God is calling each one of us 00:49:28.30\00:49:32.73 to possess each one of us to exhibit and we must possess in 00:49:32.73\00:49:37.01 these last days in which we currently stand 00:49:37.01\00:49:40.71 and every day God is giving us an opportunity 00:49:44.18\00:49:48.75 to embrace him as true 00:49:48.75\00:49:51.25 faithful 00:49:51.25\00:49:52.85 as dependable 00:49:52.85\00:49:55.06 as the one that loves us 00:49:55.06\00:49:57.19 and always will stand by us. 00:49:57.19\00:50:01.83 You have to try 00:50:01.83\00:50:06.60 just a couple of years ago was traveling from the South 00:50:06.60\00:50:09.24 Pacific 00:50:09.24\00:50:11.04 came back too California. We had an appointment to go 00:50:11.04\00:50:14.94 over to Zimbabwe and has with there in California eating an 00:50:14.94\00:50:20.48 ice began mill driving in the car. My wife looked over at me 00:50:20.48\00:50:23.69 and she said our flight to Zimbabwe. Just that from New 00:50:23.69\00:50:26.39 York. 00:50:26.39\00:50:28.26 So what happened? 00:50:28.26\00:50:30.73 He said the person who arranged the flight, evidently they 00:50:30.73\00:50:33.53 messed it all up. They set up a day today instead of tomorrow. 00:50:33.53\00:50:38.00 So we called them up. We told them what happened. They were 00:50:38.00\00:50:40.30 beating themselves over the head. Then we begin to rapidly 00:50:40.30\00:50:42.97 quickly look for, you know, some some flights that might be 00:50:42.97\00:50:47.34 able to fit into the schedule. And because it was Christmas 00:50:47.34\00:50:50.28 season, there was nothing. And I said to myself, this is 00:50:50.28\00:50:53.15 not going to happen. So that's the end of the story. 00:50:53.15\00:50:56.42 And then they said, well, if you can just get over to 00:50:56.42\00:50:59.55 London, then we can try to work something out. 00:50:59.55\00:51:03.46 And we flew back to New York and as we got to New York to 00:51:03.46\00:51:07.13 JFK Airport 00:51:07.13\00:51:09.20 and we we we we look to see the pricing 00:51:09.20\00:51:14.27 for flights from New York to London during the Christmas 00:51:14.27\00:51:17.01 season and they were asking for your first born child. 00:51:17.01\00:51:21.41 I said, well, that's settled. We're not going. 00:51:21.41\00:51:23.98 It's just not going to happen. 00:51:23.98\00:51:28.68 God was pressing the go 00:51:28.68\00:51:31.22 because my wife and I we have been studying the word. We've 00:51:34.89\00:51:37.29 been looking into the scriptures and got have been 00:51:37.29\00:51:39.19 putting some things on our heart that he wanted us to do 00:51:39.19\00:51:41.70 is work. And the spirit of God just started pressing go. 00:51:41.70\00:51:47.44 I said Lourdes is we don't even have it. He said go, 00:51:47.44\00:51:52.11 we jumped on the plane. 00:51:52.11\00:51:56.28 We got over to London. We got there. They lost our backs. 00:51:56.28\00:52:03.39 Then a brother picked us up in a car, good brother. They 00:52:03.39\00:52:06.59 missing 00:52:06.59\00:52:10.13 and he picked us up to take us to his home. But as we were 00:52:10.13\00:52:13.09 driving in the car, 00:52:13.09\00:52:15.80 he began talking. He was talking a lot, but he's talking 00:52:15.80\00:52:18.67 good stuff. So it was OK, 00:52:18.67\00:52:23.47 and as he was talking, he began to say how he had this great 00:52:23.47\00:52:26.57 desire to start a school in this rule area that he grew up 00:52:26.57\00:52:31.45 in in Zimbabwe's in a place called go quay. And he just 00:52:31.45\00:52:34.92 said, you know, it's my desire, hope one day to do it. And as 00:52:34.92\00:52:37.15 he's talking about setting up the school, met my wife and are 00:52:37.15\00:52:39.62 looking back and forth at one another because we had just 00:52:39.62\00:52:42.49 been praying about establishing a scent of influence like a 00:52:42.49\00:52:45.46 school. 00:52:45.46\00:52:47.86 >> So he's talking and I'm looking at him and he's looking 00:52:47.86\00:52:50.90 at me and I looked at him, I said, rather will do it. 00:52:50.90\00:52:54.37 He said, what do I said was we're going to set up the 00:52:54.37\00:52:56.20 school, said he didn't think we were serious. Some brother says 00:52:56.20\00:52:59.47 we're going to do 00:52:59.47\00:53:01.31 finish my 00:53:09.25\00:53:11.29 time there in London, jumped on the plane to come back to New 00:53:11.29\00:53:15.06 York. As soon as I got back into New York driving in the 00:53:15.06\00:53:19.33 car with my wife, I got a notification on the phone. 00:53:19.33\00:53:22.53 Somebody that I don't know, sent us a donation covered all 00:53:22.53\00:53:26.60 the airfare that took us to London. 00:53:26.60\00:53:29.44 And I just smiled and looked at my life. 00:53:32.27\00:53:34.64 I said this all got work to be. 00:53:34.64\00:53:38.58 Then we got home and we began talking about this school 00:53:38.58\00:53:41.85 project and establishing it and what needed to be done. And we 00:53:41.85\00:53:45.22 prayed and said, well, we're going to make whatever 00:53:45.22\00:53:46.76 sacrifice we need to make it as we're talking the phone rings 00:53:46.76\00:53:49.79 and then someone is on the phone that I've never talked to 00:53:49.79\00:53:52.03 before. And they said this is Chris Watson as they get one. 00:53:52.03\00:53:55.70 They said, listen, we sent the donation using our card, 00:53:55.70\00:53:59.50 but we're looking at our report here. We don't see it. Can you 00:53:59.50\00:54:02.37 check your system to see because it doesn't make any 00:54:02.37\00:54:04.71 sense? So I said, OK, we went to go look, and then 00:54:04.71\00:54:09.38 I asked them as I was looking in. I said, well, not exactly 00:54:09.38\00:54:12.11 how much was the mountain, then they told me them out. And then 00:54:12.11\00:54:14.58 I said, well, I don't see it, but you can send it not 00:54:14.58\00:54:17.85 and friends. 00:54:25.43\00:54:27.66 The monies they sent. 00:54:27.66\00:54:29.73 It was all the monies that were needed to start the school 00:54:29.73\00:54:32.07 project. 00:54:32.07\00:54:36.24 The just shall live, 00:54:36.24\00:54:38.87 I say. 00:54:38.87\00:54:43.28 >> To know and believe that our God is capable of accomplishing 00:54:43.28\00:54:48.42 the impossible 00:54:48.42\00:54:50.99 doesn't have to fit into all logic 00:54:50.99\00:54:54.52 doesn't have to jive with our rationale 00:54:54.52\00:54:57.86 because God is not subject to logic. He supersedes logic. 00:54:57.86\00:55:02.60 He's the author on the Logic. Everything that is logical. 00:55:02.60\00:55:06.80 It's because he brought it into existence. 00:55:06.80\00:55:11.91 So why are we trying to put got into a box? 00:55:11.91\00:55:16.51 What does your faith look like France? 00:55:16.51\00:55:19.25 You know, we on to reversing the final hours of this or to 00:55:19.25\00:55:23.52 existence as we presently know it. What does your faith look 00:55:23.52\00:55:27.56 like? 00:55:27.56\00:55:29.49 What are you living by? 00:55:29.49\00:55:31.96 Are you living based? 00:55:31.96\00:55:34.30 Are you living according to your own understanding? You say 00:55:34.30\00:55:37.20 that you serve God according to his will. But when his wheel 00:55:37.20\00:55:40.44 doesn't sound logic to logical to you, then you try to 00:55:40.44\00:55:43.47 reinterpret his word to fit into your thinking. 00:55:43.47\00:55:48.98 Are you like Jesus? 00:55:48.98\00:55:51.48 You say God, which are asking me to do is quite uncomfortable 00:55:51.48\00:55:54.58 to me 00:55:54.58\00:55:56.18 what you're asking me to do it. It doesn't even make sense. 00:55:56.18\00:55:59.69 It doesn't even appear logical to me. But no matter 00:55:59.69\00:56:03.49 by the word of the Lord with the heavens made 00:56:03.49\00:56:06.26 and all the host of them by the rest of his not 00:56:06.26\00:56:10.97 your world is the substance of things hoped for the evidence 00:56:10.97\00:56:14.44 of things not seen 00:56:14.44\00:56:17.17 got.
