QUARTER'S LESSON DEALING WITH
00:09:21.12\00:09:24.33
REBELLION AND REDEMPTION.
AND IN OUR STUDY TODAY IT'S
00:09:24.33\00:09:28.60
TALKING ABOUT
THE CRISIS IN EDEN.
00:09:28.60\00:09:30.67
IT'S GOING TO BE TALKING A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SERPENT.
00:09:30.67\00:09:32.93

PATTERN ALL THE WAY FROM GENESIS
TO REVELATION, ABOUT THIS BATTLE
00:09:41.34\00:09:45.25
BETWEEN THE
SAVIOR AND THE SERPENT.
00:09:45.25\00:09:47.85
AND YOU CAN FIND IT IN ONE
OF THE FIRST PROPHECIES IN THE
00:09:47.85\00:09:50.19
BIBLE - GENESIS 3:15 - AND IT
GOES ALL THE WAY TO REVELATION
00:09:50.19\00:09:54.16
CHAPTER 12. AND
SO, IF YOU WANT TO
00:09:54.16\00:09:56.52

YOU COULD ALSO GO TO
THE AMAZING FACTS WEBSITE.
00:10:12.04\00:10:14.34
ALRIGHT, AND SO WE'RE
DEALING WITH A CRISIS IN EDEN.
00:10:14.34\00:10:18.05
WE TALKED ABOUT, LAST
WEEK, A CRISIS IN HEAVEN.
00:10:18.05\00:10:20.92
WHERE DID SIN COME FROM?
HOW DID THIS - THIS WHOLE
00:10:20.92\00:10:23.45
TERRIBLE EXPERIMENT
WITH GOOD AND EVIL BEGIN?
00:10:23.45\00:10:26.72
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE.
AND THE MEMORY VERSE IS THAT ONE
00:10:26.72\00:10:30.43
I JUST REFERENCED IN GENESIS
3:15 AND IF YOU HAVE YOUR
00:10:30.43\00:10:33.86
BIBLES, IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW
ALONG AND SAY THIS OUT LOUD WITH
00:10:33.86\00:10:36.40
ME - GENESIS 3:15 - IT'S FROM
THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION -
00:10:36.40\00:10:40.57
READY? "AND I WILL PUT ENMITY
BETWEEN YOU AND THE WOMAN, AND
00:10:40.57\00:10:46.71
BETWEEN YOUR SEED AND HER SEED;
HE SHALL BRUISE YOUR HEAD, AND
00:10:46.71\00:10:51.98
YOU SHALL BRUISE HIS HEEL."
IT'S TALKING ABOUT A BATTLE
00:10:51.98\00:10:55.65
BETWEEN THE SEED OF
THE WOMAN AND THE SERPENT.
00:10:55.65\00:10:59.72
THERE'S THIS BATTLE ABOUT THE
DRAGON MAKES WAR WITH THE WOMAN
00:10:59.72\00:11:03.49
- THE SERPENT - IT TALKS
ABOUT IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12.
00:11:03.49\00:11:06.16
AND SO, SOMETHING
OBVIOUSLY WENT WRONG.
00:11:06.16\00:11:09.50
GOD'S CREATION
ORIGINALLY WAS A BLESSING.
00:11:09.50\00:11:12.83
EVERYTHING WAS
GOOD, GOOD, VERY GOOD.
00:11:12.83\00:11:14.90
MATTER OF FACT, IN THE FIRST
SECTION ON SUNDAY IT TALKS ABOUT
00:11:14.90\00:11:17.74
THREE BLESSINGS AND - HERE
ARE THE THREE BLESSINGS THAT ARE
00:11:17.74\00:11:21.38
MENTIONED: FIRST BLESSING:
HE BLESSED THE SEA CREATURES AND
00:11:21.38\00:11:24.31
THE BIRDS AND HE ENCOURAGED THEM
TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY AND
00:11:24.31\00:11:28.62
FILL THE WATERS AND THE SEAS AND
LET ALL THE BIRDS MULTIPLY ON
00:11:28.62\00:11:32.15
THE EARTH. SO
THAT'S THE FIRST BLESSING.
00:11:32.15\00:11:33.92
THAT, BY THE
WAY, IS GENESIS 1:22.
00:11:33.92\00:11:36.46
THE SECOND BLESSING IS WHEN GOD
TELLS ADAM AND EVE AND THEY'RE
00:11:36.46\00:11:40.00
BLESSED AND HE BLESSES THEM WITH
A SIMILAR ENCOURAGEMENT - BE
00:11:40.00\00:11:44.27
FRUITFUL AND
MULTIPLY AND FILL THE EARTH.
00:11:44.27\00:11:45.90
THEN YOU'VE GOT - THE
THIRD BLESSING IS GIVEN AT THE
00:11:45.90\00:11:48.47
CREATION STORY WHEN GOD
BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:11:48.47\00:11:52.31
AND THAT'S THERE IN GENESIS
CHAPTER 2, THE FIRST FEW VERSES.
00:11:52.31\00:11:56.64
SO THERE'S NO DEATH OR PAIN.
IF YOU LOOK IN PSALM 84 - STILL
00:11:56.64\00:12:00.48
TALKING ABOUT THINGS BEING GOOD.
PSALM 84:11, "FOR THE LORD GOD
00:12:00.48\00:12:05.92
IS A SUN AND SHIELD; THE LORD
WILL GIVE GRACE AND GLORY; NO
00:12:05.92\00:12:09.66
GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD
FROM THOSE WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY."
00:12:09.66\00:12:15.23
SO WHEN THE LORD TELLS US HE
DOESN'T WANT US TO DO SOMETHING,
00:12:15.23\00:12:18.37
IS THAT BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T
WANT CHRISTIANS TO HAVE FUN?
00:12:18.37\00:12:21.94
IS THERE EVER ANYTHING
GOOD THAT GOD WITHHOLDS?
00:12:21.94\00:12:27.28
SO WHEN PEOPLE LOOK DOWN AND
THEY SEE ALL THE MISERY IN THE
00:12:27.28\00:12:30.21
WORLD TODAY, AND THERE'S A LOT
OF PAIN AND WAR AND SUFFERING
00:12:30.21\00:12:32.68
AND DISEASE AND THINGS WE CAN'T
EXPLAIN AND INNOCENT PEOPLE
00:12:32.68\00:12:36.42
SUFFERING AND CHILDREN BORN WITH
DEBILITATING DISEASE AND PAIN
00:12:36.42\00:12:40.49
AND - AND YOU SAY, 'IF GOD
IS GOOD, THEN WHY IS HE ALLOWING
00:12:40.49\00:12:46.56
ALL OF THIS?' GENESIS
EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENS.
00:12:46.56\00:12:50.63
THESE ARE THE VERSES
WE'RE CONSIDERING TODAY.
00:12:50.63\00:12:52.77
GOD MADE A PARADISE. DOES
GOD WANT PEOPLE TO BE HAPPY?
00:12:52.77\00:12:58.14
>>YES. >>IF YOU
EVER WANT TO KNOW WHAT
00:12:58.14\00:13:00.91
GOD'S PLAN IS FOR MAN, GO
BACK TO GENESIS CHAPTER 1 AND 2.
00:13:00.91\00:13:05.41
CHAPTER 3, THINGS GO SOUTH,
BUT UP UNTIL THEN GOD MADE
00:13:05.41\00:13:09.58
EVERYTHING GOOD. HE MADE MAN AND
PUT MAN AND WOMAN IN A PARADISE.
00:13:09.58\00:13:14.19
GOD WANTS YOU TO
HAVE A HAPPY LIFE.
00:13:14.19\00:13:16.06
HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE PLEASURES
AT HIS RIGHT HAND FOREVERMORE -
00:13:16.06\00:13:18.66
PSALM 16 TELLS US
- BUT SIN CAME IN.
00:13:18.66\00:13:23.40
IT SAYS, 'NO GOOD THING WILL HE
WITHHOLD.' SO WHEN GOD WANTS YOU
00:13:23.40\00:13:26.20
TO TURN FROM SIN, IS HE WANTING
YOU TO TURN FROM SOMETHING BAD
00:13:26.20\00:13:28.74
OR SOMETHING
GOOD? SOMETHING BAD.
00:13:28.74\00:13:32.24
GOD'LL WITHHOLD HOW MANY
GOOD THINGS? NO GOOD THING.
00:13:32.24\00:13:35.91
THE ONLY THING HE WITHHOLDS ARE
BAD THINGS BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU
00:13:35.91\00:13:40.02
AND HE WANTS YOUR ETERNAL
GOOD. SO WHEN GOD TRIES TO STEER
00:13:40.02\00:13:43.25
US AWAY FROM SOMETHING,
IT'S BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT
00:13:43.25\00:13:45.79
WILL ULTIMATELY HURT. NO
GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD.
00:13:45.79\00:13:49.89
ALRIGHT, IF YOU LOOK IN MARK -
JUST TIE OFF THIS THOUGHT ABOUT
00:13:49.89\00:13:53.40
GOODNESS OF GOD. MARK
10:17 - AFTER JESUS BLESSED
00:13:53.40\00:13:58.73
THE CHILDREN, HE'S GOING DOWN
THE ROAD AND THIS RICH YOUNG
00:13:58.73\00:14:01.40
RULER GOES CHASING AFTER HIM.
HE SAW SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT
00:14:01.40\00:14:04.14
JESUS AND, "NOW AS HE WAS GOING
DOWN THE ROAD, ONE CAME RUNNING,
00:14:04.14\00:14:07.71
KNELT BEFORE HIM, AND ASKED
HIM, 'GOOD TEACHER, WHAT SHALL I
00:14:07.71\00:14:12.78
DO THAT I MAY
INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?'"
00:14:12.78\00:14:15.72
AND SO, INSTEAD OF JESUS
IMMEDIATELY ANSWERING HIS
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.12
INITIAL QUESTION, HE
ADDRESSES HOW HE WAS ADDRESSED.
00:14:18.12\00:14:22.79
HE SAID, "'WHY
DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?
00:14:22.79\00:14:24.69
NO ONE IS GOOD BUT ONE, THAT
IS, GOD.'" ONLY ONE IS SINLESS.
00:14:24.69\00:14:31.93
ONLY ONE IS PERFECTLY
GOOD. NOW WAS JESUS DENYING HIS
00:14:31.93\00:14:35.07
GOODNESS OR WAS HE HELPING THE
RULER UNDERSTAND HIS GODNESS?
00:14:35.07\00:14:40.81
HE WASN'T SAYING, 'I'M NOT
GOOD.' HE WAS SAYING, 'THERE'S
00:14:40.81\00:14:44.68
REALLY ONLY ONE GOOD.
YOU'RE CALLING ME GOOD.
00:14:44.68\00:14:46.38
ONLY GOD IS GOOD. MAYBE I'M
GOD. I'M NOT JUST A TEACHER.
00:14:46.38\00:14:52.05
I'M NOT JUST A GOOD MASTER - A
GOOD RABBI.' SO HE WANTED HIM TO
00:14:52.05\00:14:55.29
UNDERSTAND THAT. HE
SAYS, 'YOU'RE ASKING ME 'WHAT
00:14:55.29\00:14:57.89
DO YOU HAVE FOR EVERLASTING
LIFE?' YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
00:14:57.89\00:15:01.40
YOU'VE GOT TO PUT
EVERYTHING ON THE LINE.
00:15:01.40\00:15:04.47
IF YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE, GO
SELL ALL THAT YOU HAVE' - HE WAS
00:15:04.47\00:15:07.97
IN LOVE WITH HIS RICHES -
'GO SELL ALL THAT YOU HAVE.
00:15:07.97\00:15:11.71
GIVE IT TO THE POOR.
GIVE THE PROCEEDS TO THE POOR.
00:15:11.71\00:15:15.78
YOU'LL HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN.
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW
00:15:15.78\00:15:18.85
ME.' NOW, DOES JESUS ASK US
TO GIVE UP SOMETHING WITHOUT
00:15:18.85\00:15:22.48
OFFERING US SOMETHING BETTER?
HE SAID, 'GO SELL ALL THAT YOU
00:15:22.48\00:15:26.45
HAVE AND YOU WILL HAVE TREASURE
IN HEAVEN. WHAT'S WORTH MORE?
00:15:26.45\00:15:29.02
THAT MAN AND HIS TREASURE -
HIS BANK ACCOUNT - IS ALL GONE -
00:15:29.02\00:15:32.66
BEEN GONE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
- BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF HE EVER
00:15:32.66\00:15:36.83
STORED ANYTHING IN HEAVEN.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD
00:15:36.83\00:15:39.27
LAST. IN THE RESURRECTION,
THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO
00:15:39.27\00:15:42.00
MATTER TO HIM IS WHAT
DID YOU STORE IN HEAVEN.
00:15:42.00\00:15:45.34
ALRIGHT, SECOND
SECTION: TEST AT THE TREE .
00:15:45.34\00:15:48.61
SO THEN EVERYTHING WAS GOOD
AND - CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING IN A
00:15:48.61\00:15:53.75
GARDEN - NOT ONLY DOES IT TELL
US ABOUT THE PARADISE, IT TALKS
00:15:53.75\00:15:56.12
ABOUT THE RIVER AND THE
AIR AND - BUT GOD MADE SOME
00:15:56.12\00:16:02.49
DISTINCTIONS. HE
MADE SOME SEPARATIONS.
00:16:02.49\00:16:05.99
HE SAID, FOR INSTANCE, YOU READ
IN GENESIS 1:3, GOD SAID, 'LET
00:16:05.99\00:16:08.66
THERE BE LIGHT'
AND THERE WAS LIGHT.
00:16:08.66\00:16:10.60
AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT AND IT WAS
GOOD AND GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT
00:16:10.60\00:16:13.23
FROM THE DARKNESS.
NOW IS DARKNESS SOMETIMES
00:16:13.23\00:16:17.54
A SYMBOL OF EVIL?
PAUL TALKS ABOUT 'YOU ARE
00:16:17.54\00:16:21.44
CHILDREN OF THE DAY,
NOT CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT.'
00:16:21.44\00:16:24.41
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SONS
OF LIGHT, NOT SONS OF DARKNESS.
00:16:24.41\00:16:27.92
GOD MADE A SEPARATION BETWEEN
THE LIGHT AND THE DARKNESS.
00:16:27.92\00:16:31.52
IT'S SYMBOLIC THAT THERE'S
A SEPARATION BETWEEN GOOD AND
00:16:31.52\00:16:34.09
EVIL. AND GOD
LATER MAKES A SEPARATION
00:16:34.09\00:16:36.59
BETWEEN THE WATERS
ABOVE AND THE WATERS BELOW.
00:16:36.59\00:16:39.73
AND HE MAKES A SEPARATION
BETWEEN THE DOMAIN OF THE FISH
00:16:39.73\00:16:42.56
AND THE DOMAIN OF THE
BIRDS. AND THERE'S A BUNCH OF
00:16:42.56\00:16:44.93
SEPARATIONS THAT ARE MADE
AND THEN, FINALLY, WHEN HE SAYS,
00:16:44.93\00:16:47.44
'LOOK, I ALSO MADE ONE OTHER
SEPARATION' - SOMEONE'S GOING TO
00:16:47.44\00:16:50.84
READ FOR ME 2
CHRONICLES 32:31 IN A MINUTE.
00:16:50.84\00:16:54.48
OKAY ALBERTO, YOU'LL DO THAT.
HE MADE THIS OTHER SEPARATION.
00:16:54.48\00:16:58.18
YOU READ ABOUT THIS
IN GENESIS 2, VERSE 8.
00:16:58.18\00:17:01.05
"THE LORD GOD PLANTED A GARDEN
EASTWARD IN EDEN, AND THERE HE
00:17:01.05\00:17:05.72
PUT THE MAN WHOM HE HAD FORMED.
AND OUT OF THE GROUND THE LORD
00:17:05.72\00:17:09.39
GOD MADE EVERY TREE GROW
THAT IS PLEASANT TO THE SIGHT
00:17:09.39\00:17:14.00
AND GOOD FOR FOOD. THE
TREE OF LIFE WAS ALSO" - YOU
00:17:14.00\00:17:17.33
NOTICE IT DOESN'T SAY TREES
- THERE WAS A PARTICULAR TREE.
00:17:17.33\00:17:21.77
AND YOU NEEDED TO EAT FROM THAT
TREE PROBABLY ONCE EVERY TWO OR
00:17:21.77\00:17:24.47
THREE HUNDRED
YEARS. ADAM LIVED 930 YEARS
00:17:24.47\00:17:27.41
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T EAT IT.
HE FINALLY DRIED UP AND DIED.
00:17:27.41\00:17:30.11
AND EVERYBODY WISHES THEY COULD
FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS IN THAT TREE
00:17:30.11\00:17:33.92
THAT WE'RE MISSING
BECAUSE THEY'D SELL IT AS A FOOD
00:17:33.92\00:17:36.28
SUPPLEMENT AND MAKE
A LOT OF MONEY, RIGHT?
00:17:36.28\00:17:39.22
THEY DON'T KNOW WHY OUR CELLS
- WHILE WE'RE YOUNG THEY REPAIR
00:17:39.22\00:17:41.56
THEMSELVES - AND
SOMETHING STARTS TO DIE.
00:17:41.56\00:17:43.76
THEY'RE STARTING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS.
00:17:43.76\00:17:45.53
THAT'S WHY I THINK
THE LORD'S COMING SOON.
00:17:45.53\00:17:48.56
AND THEY THINK, 'OH, IF WE COULD
JUST PROLONG OUR MORTAL LIVES.'
00:17:48.56\00:17:56.94
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT
THAT GARDEN LOOKED LIKE?
00:17:56.94\00:17:59.47
HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN SOME
BEAUTIFUL GARDENS IN THE WORLD?
00:17:59.47\00:18:02.74
I'VE BEEN TO SOME COUNTRIES AND
YOU GO LOOK AT ALL THE TULIPS
00:18:02.74\00:18:05.91
THEY PLANT THERE
IN THE NETHERLANDS.
00:18:05.91\00:18:09.02
AND I'VE SEEN SOME GARDENS IN
THE WORLD AND - YOU GO TO JAPAN
00:18:09.02\00:18:11.89
AND DIFFERENT PLACES -
JUST BEAUTIFUL GARDENS.
00:18:11.89\00:18:13.96
THEY'VE GOT TRAILS.
THERE'S USUALLY WATER IN SOME
00:18:13.96\00:18:16.69
OF THESE BEAUTIFUL GARDENS.
THERE'S FLOWERS AND BEACHES -
00:18:16.69\00:18:19.59
THERE'S SOME INTERESTING ROCKS.
THE JAPANESE SAY, 'IN ORDER TO
00:18:19.59\00:18:22.80
HAVE A GOOD GARDEN YOU NEED
TO HAVE ROCK, YOU NEED TO HAVE
00:18:22.80\00:18:25.40
VEGETATION, YOU NEED TO HAVE
WATER, AND - CAN YOU IMAGINE
00:18:25.40\00:18:29.97
THE GARDEN THAT GOD PLANTED?
ALL THE EXOTIC FLOWERS -
00:18:29.97\00:18:34.98
FLOWERS, YOU KNOW,
BIGGER THAN AN ELEPHANT'S EAR.
00:18:34.98\00:18:37.48
I DON'T KNOW WHY I PICKED THAT
ANALOGY BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, BIG
00:18:37.48\00:18:41.72
FLOWERS AND VINES AND
FRUIT - EVERY DIFFERENT KIND -
00:18:41.72\00:18:49.82
EVERYTHING WAS JUST - IT'S
LIKE, YOU EVER ORGANIZE A FLOWER
00:18:49.82\00:18:52.36
ARRANGEMENT? YOU CUT
THEM AND YOU TRY AND GET
00:18:52.36\00:18:54.50
THEM ALL SYMMETRICAL AND YOU
TURN THE LITTLE FLOWERS IN THE
00:18:54.50\00:18:57.07
VASE SO THAT JUST, FROM
ANY ANGLE IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:18:57.07\00:19:00.14
CAN YOU IMAGINE GOD
DOING A GARDEN ARRANGEMENT?
00:19:00.14\00:19:03.17
WHAT THAT MUST HAVE LOOKED LIKE
- WHAT IT MUST HAVE SMELLED LIKE
00:19:03.17\00:19:05.77
- THE CREATURES
THAT HE STOCKED IT WITH.
00:19:05.77\00:19:08.68
THE LITTLE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS AND
BUTTERFLIES FLITTING FROM FLOWER
00:19:08.68\00:19:11.75
TO FLOWER AND THE MAJESTIC
PERFECT FUR ON THE CREATURES AND
00:19:11.75\00:19:18.15
JUST - OH, ADAM AND EVE NEVER
FORGOT THAT - GOD'S GARDEN.
00:19:18.15\00:19:23.39
BY THE WAY, YOU CAN
GET TO SEE THAT SOMEDAY.
00:19:23.39\00:19:26.96
THERE ARE CONDITIONS FOR
ADMITTANCE TO THAT GARDEN, BUT
00:19:26.96\00:19:30.70
THE TREE IS GOING
TO BE IN THE MIDST.
00:19:30.70\00:19:32.90
IN NEW YORK CITY - THE MIDDLE
OF NEW YORK CITY - IT'S UNIQUE -
00:19:32.90\00:19:36.34
THEY SET ASIDE A BIG
AREA CALLED CENTRAL PARK.
00:19:36.34\00:19:39.97
AND IN THE NEW JERUSALEM, BASED
ON WHAT WE READ, CENTRAL PARK IS
00:19:39.97\00:19:44.55
GOING TO BE THE GARDEN OF EDEN
AND THE TREE OF LIFE IS GOING TO
00:19:44.55\00:19:48.02
BE THERE AGAIN. AND,
OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF IT,
00:19:48.02\00:19:51.12
FLOWS THE RIVER OF GOD
AND THE RIVER OF LIFE RUNS
00:19:51.12\00:19:54.22
UNDERNEATH THE TREE.
EVIDENTLY, THE BRANCHES GROW
00:19:54.22\00:19:57.89
TOGETHER ABOVE IT AND THE ROOTS
BELOW IT AND THE TREE - RIVER
00:19:57.89\00:20:00.80
SORT OF RUNS THROUGH IT.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN BEAUTIFUL.
00:20:00.80\00:20:03.50
SO GOD MAKES THESE DIVISIONS
- DIVIDES THE LIGHT - PLANTS A
00:20:03.50\00:20:07.84
GARDEN, AND THEN HE TESTS THEM.
WHY DID HE TEST THEM? WHY MAKE
00:20:07.84\00:20:13.24
A TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL THEY'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT FROM?
00:20:13.24\00:20:16.14
2 CHRONICLES - GO AHEAD, READ
FOR US - 2 CHRONICLES 32:31.
00:20:16.14\00:20:21.05
>>"HOWEVER, REGARDING THE
AMBASSADORS OF THE PRINCES OF
00:20:21.05\00:20:24.02
BABYLON, WHOM THEY SENT TO HIM
TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE WONDER THAT
00:20:24.02\00:20:28.06
WAS DONE IN THE LAND, GOD
WITHDREW FROM HIM, IN ORDER TO
00:20:28.06\00:20:32.03
TEST HIM, THAT HE MIGHT
KNOW ALL THAT WAS IN HIS HEART."
00:20:32.03\00:20:36.97
>>SOME OF YOU REMEMBER
THE STORY WHERE KING HEZEKIAH.
00:20:36.97\00:20:40.57
HE WAS SICK. HE PRAYED.
00:20:40.57\00:20:44.71
GOD HEALED HIM - SAID, 'I'M
GOING TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER 15
00:20:44.71\00:20:47.54
YEARS' - AND A
WONDERFUL THING HAPPENED.
00:20:47.54\00:20:51.48
HE CREATED THIS ASTRONOMICAL
WONDER WHERE THE SUN WENT -
00:20:51.48\00:20:54.02
DIDN'T JUST STOP, LIKE
JOSHUA, IT WENT BACKWARDS.
00:20:54.02\00:20:57.65
EVERYTHING STOPPED AND WENT IN
REVERSE. AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU
00:20:57.65\00:21:03.02
PRAY AND GOD MAKES THE SUN GOES
BACKWARDS AND GOD HEALS YOU AND
00:21:03.02\00:21:06.16
YOU'RE BLESSED ON EVERY SIDE,
EVEN THE GODLY CAN BE TEMPTED.
00:21:06.16\00:21:11.37
AND THE LORD WITHDREW FROM
HEZEKIAH. HEZEKIAH THOUGHT, 'I'M
00:21:11.37\00:21:17.07
JUST GOOD - I'M INHERENTLY GOOD.
I DON'T NEED GOD, I'M GOOD ON MY
00:21:17.07\00:21:19.81
OWN.' AND GOD WITHDREW FROM HIM
TO SHOW HIM, 'NO, WITHOUT ME YOU
00:21:19.81\00:21:24.55
CAN DO NOTHING.' AND WHEN THE
AMBASSADORS CAME LATER, HEZEKIAH
00:21:24.55\00:21:28.52
REVEALED HOW
UTTERLY PROUD HE WAS.
00:21:28.52\00:21:31.35
THEY CAME TO FIND OUT ABOUT HIS
GOD AND ALL HE COULD TALK ABOUT
00:21:31.35\00:21:33.72
WAS - HE SAYS, 'HERE'S MY
TREASURE AND HERE'S MY CLOTHES,
00:21:33.72\00:21:35.72
AND HERE'S MY ARMORY, AND HERE'S
MY FRAGRANCE, AND HERE'S - ME,
00:21:35.72\00:21:38.39
ME, ME, MY, MY, MY.
AND HERE'S A GODLY KING.
00:21:38.39\00:21:42.40
IF HEZEKIAH DID THAT,
YOU WONDER WHERE WE STAND.
00:21:42.40\00:21:45.57
GOD TESTED HIM. DID GOD TEST
HIM SO GOD COULD FIND OUT WHAT
00:21:45.57\00:21:50.67
WAS IN HIM? OR DOES GOD KNOW
EVERYTHING? DID GOD TEST HIM SO
00:21:50.67\00:21:54.94
HE COULD FIND OUT WHAT WAS IN
HIM? SO GENESIS 2:15, "THEN THE
00:21:54.94\00:22:01.45
LORD GOD TOOK THAT MAN" -
MEANING MAN AND WOMAN - "AND PUT
00:22:01.45\00:22:04.42
HIM IN THE GARDEN OF
EDEN TO TEND AND KEEP IT."
00:22:04.42\00:22:06.52
- HE GAVE THEM A WORK TO DO -
A WONDERFUL WORK - A DELIGHTFUL
00:22:06.52\00:22:09.72
WORK - "AND THE LORD GOD
COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, 'OF
00:22:09.72\00:22:13.13
EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN YOU MAY
FREELY EAT;'" - I'VE GIVEN YOU
00:22:13.13\00:22:16.30
EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR
YOUR ABUNDANT HAPPINESS.
00:22:16.30\00:22:18.70
BUT ONE RESTRICTION - "'BUT
OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF
00:22:18.70\00:22:22.94
GOOD AND EVIL YOU SHALL NOT EAT,
FOR IN THAT DAY THAT YOU EAT OF
00:22:22.94\00:22:27.08
IT YOU SHALL SURELY DIE.'" YOU
CAN, YOU KNOW, WALK THROUGH A
00:22:27.08\00:22:33.21
GARDEN WITH YOUR 5-YEAR-OLD
- 7-YEAR-OLD - AND YOU CAN SAY,
00:22:33.21\00:22:39.15
'YOU CAN PICK AND YOU CAN TOUCH
EVERY FLOWER IN THIS GARDEN
00:22:39.15\00:22:43.22
EXCEPT ONE.' WHICH
ONE WILL THEY GO TO?
00:22:43.22\00:22:48.00
THE ONE - IF YOU DRAW A LINE
AND YOU SAY TO HIM, 'YOU CAN GO
00:22:48.00\00:22:52.20
ANYWHERE IN THIS ROOM JUST DON'T
WALK ACROSS THAT LINE.' THEY'LL
00:22:52.20\00:22:54.90
GO RIGHT UP TO THE LINE, THEY'LL
LOOK AT YOU, AND THEN THEY'LL
00:22:54.90\00:22:56.60
PUT THE FOOT OVER IT.
AND EVE WAS SO CURIOUS
00:22:56.60\00:23:03.14
ABOUT 'WHY NOT THAT TREE?
YOU'VE GOT ALL THESE OTHER TREES
00:23:03.14\00:23:07.28
YOU CAN EAT FROM AND SHE STARTS
GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER AND
00:23:07.28\00:23:10.19
LOOKING AT IT - AND THE
DEVIL SAW HIS OPPORTUNITY.
00:23:10.19\00:23:13.49
WHY DOES GOD TEST US?
DEUTERONOMY 8:2, GOD SAID, "AND
00:23:13.49\00:23:18.33
YOU SHALL REMEMBER THAT THE LORD
YOUR GOD LED YOU ALL THE WAY
00:23:18.33\00:23:21.10
THESE FORTY YEARS IN THE
WILDERNESS, TO HUMBLE YOU AND
00:23:21.10\00:23:25.13
TEST YOU, TO KNOW WHAT WAS IN
YOUR HEART" - SO GOD WOULD KNOW
00:23:25.13\00:23:29.67
OR SO THEY COULD KNOW? I THINK
IT'S MORE FOR THEM TO KNOW.
00:23:29.67\00:23:33.48
GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING - "WHETHER
YOU WOULD KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
00:23:33.48\00:23:37.61
OR NOT." - AND,
OBVIOUSLY, THEY FAILED.
00:23:37.61\00:23:40.78
HE WANTED THEM TO ENTER THE
PROMISED LAND REALIZING THEIR
00:23:40.78\00:23:43.22
WEAKNESS - UTTERLY DEPENDING ON
HIM. WELL, ADAM AND EVE HAD AN
00:23:43.22\00:23:48.36
OPPORTUNITY TO
DEMONSTRATE LOYALTY.
00:23:48.36\00:23:51.63
NOW, WHEN THE DEVIL REBELLED -
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK -
00:23:51.63\00:23:56.53
AND HE WENT THROUGH THE UNIVERSE
- HE WAS KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN
00:23:56.53\00:23:59.37
BUT HE WASN'T
CAST TO THE EARTH YET.
00:23:59.37\00:24:01.64
THE DEVIL COULD GO TO VARIOUS
WORLDS AND HE WOULD TRY TO
00:24:01.64\00:24:05.37
RECRUIT LEADERS OF VARIOUS
WORLDS TO BUY INTO HE AND THE
00:24:05.37\00:24:11.48
OTHER ANGELS. THE
DEVIL HAD A THIRD OF THE
00:24:11.48\00:24:12.81
ANGELS THAT FOLLOWED HIM.
BUT GOD DID NOT WANT THE DEVIL -
00:24:12.81\00:24:15.98
HE SAID, 'LOOK' - THE DEVIL
WAS SAYING, 'IT'S NOT FAIR, YOU
00:24:15.98\00:24:18.65
KNOW, YOU'VE SHARED
YOUR IDEA OF WHAT'S RIGHT.
00:24:18.65\00:24:20.52
I NEED TO BE
ABLE TO SHARE MY IDEA.
00:24:20.52\00:24:21.96
GOD SAID, 'ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO
LET YOU SHARE, BUT I'M NOT GOING
00:24:21.96\00:24:25.26
TO LET YOU HARASS THESE OTHER
CREATURES ALL THE TIME ANYWHERE.
00:24:25.26\00:24:30.23
THERE'S ONE PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN TALK TO THEM.
00:24:30.23\00:24:34.04
IF THEY WANT TO
LISTEN TO YOU, THEY CAN.
00:24:34.04\00:24:35.10
IF THEY WANT TO
WALK AWAY, THEY CAN.
00:24:35.10\00:24:37.14
AND YOU CAN TALK TO THEM AT THIS
TREE.' AND THERE WAS PROBABLY
00:24:37.14\00:24:41.58
SOME SIMILAR TEST IN
OTHER WORLDS AND ALL THE OTHER
00:24:41.58\00:24:43.75
UNFALLEN CREATURES, THEY
WOULD NOT LISTEN TO LUCIFER.
00:24:43.75\00:24:47.32
RESIST THE DEVIL
AND WHAT HAPPENS?
00:24:47.32\00:24:49.45
HE FLEES FROM YOU. SO
HE LEFT THEM, BUT WHEN HE
00:24:49.45\00:24:51.25
CAME TO THIS PLANET - THIS NEW
PLANET - THESE CREATURES MADE IN
00:24:51.25\00:24:54.66
GOD'S IMAGE - HE ESPECIALLY
HATED THEM. YOU KNOW WHY?
00:24:54.66\00:24:57.86
ONE OF THE THINGS THE DEVIL
WANTS ABOUT GOD IS THE DEVIL
00:24:57.86\00:25:02.76
CANNOT CREATE LIFE. THE
DEVIL CAN MANIPULATE THE
00:25:02.76\00:25:07.40
LIFE GOD'S CREATED, BUT HE
CAN'T CREATE LIFE AND THE DEVIL
00:25:07.40\00:25:10.04
WANTED THAT ABILITY.
AND HE HEARD NOW GOD MAKES
00:25:10.04\00:25:12.01
CREATURES IN HIS OWN
IMAGE THAT HAVE THIS ABILITY TO
00:25:12.01\00:25:14.84
PROCREATE IN THEIR OWN
IMAGE. AND THAT REALLY BOTHERED
00:25:14.84\00:25:17.88
HIM THAT THEY COULD CREATE.
AND HE GIVES THEM DOMINION OF
00:25:17.88\00:25:20.45
THE WORLD AND THE
DEVIL WANTED DOMINION.
00:25:20.45\00:25:23.05
THE BIBLE SAID, 'WHOEVER YOU
OBEY, THAT'S WHOSE SERVANTS YOU
00:25:23.05\00:25:25.59
ARE.' SOME PEOPLE THINK IF
YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON GOD YOU'LL
00:25:25.59\00:25:28.76
HAVE FREEDOM. NO,
YOU'RE FREE - JESUS SAID,
00:25:28.76\00:25:32.79
'YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE
TRUTH MAKES YOU FREE.' YOU TURN
00:25:32.79\00:25:34.56
FROM GOD AND YOU BECOME A SLAVE.
AND SO, HE MET EVE AT THE TREE.
00:25:34.56\00:25:42.60
WHY DON'T WE TURN - LET'S READ
THAT RIGHT OUT OF OUR BIBLES -
00:25:42.60\00:25:44.57
GENESIS CHAPTER 3, 'THE SERPENT
WAS MORE CUNNING, CRAFTY, SUBTLE
00:25:44.57\00:25:50.75
THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD
WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD MADE."
00:25:50.75\00:25:53.95
- SOME SERPENTS
HAVE BEAUTIFUL COLORING.
00:25:53.95\00:25:56.65
THEY'RE VIVID. THEY'RE BRIGHT.
THEY CAN MOVE IN HYPNOTIC WAYS.
00:25:56.65\00:26:02.59
SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT SERPENTS,
THEY DO NOT HAVE EYELIDS - THEY
00:26:02.59\00:26:04.89
DO NOT BLINK -
THEY'RE ALWAYS STARING.
00:26:04.89\00:26:07.93
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A
SNAKE WINK AT YOU, RIGHT?
00:26:07.93\00:26:12.50
AND SO, FOR THIS AND OTHER
REASONS, IT WAS JUST A - IT WAS
00:26:12.50\00:26:15.27
A MESMERIZING CREATURE -
AND HERE IT IS COILED WITH ITS
00:26:15.27\00:26:22.08
BEAUTIFUL WINGS UP IN THE
BRANCHES OF THIS TREE AND IT'S
00:26:22.08\00:26:27.88
EATING THE FRUIT. THE
DEVIL MANIPULATED THE SERPENT.
00:26:27.88\00:26:33.02
CAN THE DEVIL MANIPULATE PIGS?
CAN GOD SPEAK THROUGH A DONKEY?
00:26:33.02\00:26:38.49
AND SO GOOD AND EVIL
INFLUENCES CAN AFFECT ANIMALS.
00:26:38.49\00:26:44.00
I THINK MORE CATS ARE
DEMON-POSSESSED THAN DOGS.
00:26:44.00\00:26:49.64
THAT'S JUST A THEORY. I
CAN'T PROVE IT. DON'T YOU AGREE?
00:26:49.64\00:26:55.18
WE'LL FIND OUT WHO THE
CAT LOVERS ARE OUT THERE.
00:26:55.18\00:26:59.21
NO ONE EVER SAYS
A DOG IS BAD LUCK.
00:26:59.21\00:27:03.08
DOG IS MAN'S FRIEND.
ANYWAY, SO THE SERPENT, HE SAYS,
00:27:03.08\00:27:14.66
"HATH GOD INDEED SAID,
'YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY
00:27:14.66\00:27:18.27
TREE IN THE GARDEN'?"
- NOW DID GOD SAY THAT?
00:27:18.27\00:27:20.64
WHAT IS THE FIRST
QUESTION ASKED IN THE BIBLE?
00:27:20.64\00:27:23.91
WELL, THE FIRST QUESTION YOU
HEAR IS THE DEVIL QUESTIONING
00:27:23.91\00:27:26.84
THE WORD OF GOD - THE DEVIL
CASTING DOUBT ON THE TRUTH OF
00:27:26.84\00:27:31.08
GOD'S WORD. ALL THE
SIN CAME INTO OUR WORLD
00:27:31.08\00:27:34.12
FROM THE DEVIL CASTING DOUBT
ON THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD.
00:27:34.12\00:27:37.15
DO WE SEE, EVEN IN THE CHURCH
TODAY, THAT THERE ARE SOME WHO
00:27:37.15\00:27:40.82
ARE CASTING DOUBT ON
THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD?
00:27:40.82\00:27:43.43
OR THEY'RE TRYING
TO MISCONSTRUE IT?
00:27:43.43\00:27:45.73
OR THEY'RE MISQUOTING IT?
IT HAPPENS IN OUR INSTITUTIONS
00:27:45.73\00:27:49.90
OF LEARNING - 'WELL, THE
BIBLE DOESN'T REALLY MEAN
00:27:49.90\00:27:52.43
THAT.' 'HATH GOD SAID?'
AND LOOK AT ALL THE MISERY AND
00:27:52.43\00:27:56.84
THE SUFFERING IN THE
WORLD TODAY FROM DOUBTING.
00:27:56.84\00:27:59.31
DOES GOD REALLY
MEAN WHAT HE SAYS?
00:27:59.31\00:28:00.81
>>AMEN. >>AND SO
HE BEGAN TO CAST DOUBT
00:28:00.81\00:28:04.11
ON IT - 'HAS GOD SAID 'YOU
SHALL NOT EAT FROM EVERY TREE?'
00:28:04.11\00:28:07.45
THE DEVIL KNEW
HE DIDN'T SAY THAT.
00:28:07.45\00:28:09.62
THERE WAS ONLY ONE TREE, BUT
HE'S TRYING TO ENGAGE EVE AND
00:28:09.62\00:28:13.09
HIS GREETING IS SOMETHING LIKE,
'GREETINGS, HI THERE.' AND HE'S
00:28:13.09\00:28:18.06
- IT'S - HE PROBABLY - THERE'S
MORE IN THE TEXT THAT WE DON'T
00:28:18.06\00:28:21.36
READ. HE MAY HAVE
SAID, 'BOY, YOU ARE
00:28:21.36\00:28:22.90
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATURE I
HAVE EVER SEEN.' HE STILL USES
00:28:22.90\00:28:26.63
THAT TODAY, IN
CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
00:28:26.63\00:28:29.54
'WELL, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE
SO BEAUTIFUL.' AND SHE SAYS,
00:28:29.54\00:28:32.54
'WELL, YOU'RE NOT BAD LOOKING
YOURSELF.' AND 'WOW, I HAD NO
00:28:32.54\00:28:35.84
IDEA THAT THERE WERE OTHER
CREATURES IN THE GARDEN THAT
00:28:35.84\00:28:37.78
COULD TALK.' 'WELL, I COULDN'T
TALK UNTIL I ATE THIS FRUIT.'
00:28:37.78\00:28:41.58
BUT I GUESS GOD TOLD YOU, YOU
CAN'T EAT FROM ALL THE TREES IN
00:28:41.58\00:28:43.75
THE GARDEN.' 'OH NO, HE DIDN'T
SAY THAT' - SHE GOES TO GOD'S
00:28:43.75\00:28:47.56
DEFENSE - 'HE JUST SAID
WE'RE NOT TO EAT FROM THAT TREE.
00:28:47.56\00:28:50.36
WE'RE NOT EVEN TO TOUCH IT, LEST
WE DIE.' NOW SHE ADDS SOMETHING
00:28:50.36\00:28:53.53
THAT GOD DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY
SAY, BUT MAYBE HE HAD GIVEN THEM
00:28:53.53\00:28:56.23
FURTHER INSTRUCTION
NOT TO TOUCH IT, EITHER.
00:28:56.23\00:28:58.57
YOU KNOW, IT'S A GOOD IDEA,
IF YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT
00:28:58.57\00:29:01.44
SOMETHING, DON'T FONDLE IT
OR YOU MAY END UP GETTING IN
00:29:01.44\00:29:06.47
TROUBLE. AND WE'VE GOT A LOT
OF YOUNG PEOPLE HERE - I'M NOT
00:29:06.47\00:29:12.05
GOING TO MISS MY OPPORTUNITY.
HOW FAR SHOULD YOU GO ON A DATE?
00:29:12.05\00:29:22.79
WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO
SPEND TIME WITH SOMEBODY OF THE
00:29:22.79\00:29:25.49
OPPOSITE SEX AND YOU'RE
NOT MARRIED, AND YOU WANT TO BE
00:29:25.49\00:29:29.20
CAREFUL HOW MUCH TOUCHING YOU
DO, BECAUSE TOUCHING CAN LEAD TO
00:29:29.20\00:29:36.60
TAKING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT.
YOU CAN START FLIPPING SWITCHES
00:29:36.60\00:29:42.21
AND PUSHING BUTTONS THAT
ACTIVATE MOTHER NATURE AND
00:29:42.21\00:29:44.51
PROCESSES ARE SET IN
MOTION YOU CAN'T REVERSE.
00:29:44.51\00:29:48.45
DO I NEED TO SAY ANY
MORE OR WAS THAT CLEAR?
00:29:48.45\00:29:49.98
(LAUGHTER) OKAY. HE
SAID, 'DON'T EVEN TOUCH IT.'
00:29:49.98\00:29:57.66
IN THE BOOK
PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS P. 53
00:29:57.66\00:30:01.53
IT SAYS THERE, "THE TREE OF
KNOWLEDGE HAD BEEN MADE A TEST
00:30:01.53\00:30:04.87
OF THEIR OBEDIENCE
AND THEIR LOVE TO GOD.
00:30:04.87\00:30:07.84
THE LORD HAD SEEN FIT TO LAY
UPON THEM BUT ONE PROHIBITION AS
00:30:07.84\00:30:11.91
TO THE USE OF ALL THAT WAS IN
THE GARDEN; BUT IF THEY SHOULD
00:30:11.91\00:30:15.08
DISREGARD HIS WILL IN THIS
PARTICULAR, THEY WOULD INCUR THE
00:30:15.08\00:30:18.15
GUILT OF TRANSGRESSION." - AND
THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH.
00:30:18.15\00:30:21.02
THAT'S A VERY
EXPENSIVE PIECE OF FRUIT.
00:30:21.02\00:30:24.02
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN I
PREACH THE HEALTH MESSAGE PEOPLE
00:30:24.02\00:30:27.89
SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU MAKE SUCH
A BIG DEAL ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT
00:30:27.89\00:30:31.59
AND WHAT YOU DRINK. IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU EAT
00:30:31.59\00:30:33.53
AND WHAT YOU DRINK.' AND I
THINK, 'OH, IT DOESN'T MATTER?
00:30:33.53\00:30:37.63
ALL OF THE SIN IN THE WORLD
TODAY IS THE RESULT OF PEOPLE
00:30:37.63\00:30:40.54
EATING SOMETHING THEY
WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO EAT.'
00:30:40.54\00:30:44.14
AND WILL WE BE TESTED IN
THE LAST DAYS ON THIS FRONT?
00:30:44.14\00:30:47.84
IS THE DEVIL GOING TO GET IT
WHERE PEOPLE CANNOT BUY OR SELL
00:30:47.84\00:30:50.98
UNLESS THEY GET
THE MARK OF THE BEAST?
00:30:50.98\00:30:52.38
AND WHERE DO YOU THINK THEY'RE
GOING TO FEEL THAT THE MOST?
00:30:52.38\00:30:56.35
PAYING FOR THEIR INTERNET
SERVICE OR NOT BEING ABLE TO
00:30:56.35\00:30:59.39
EAT? ONE OF THE BASICS OF LIFE
- AND SO, YEAH, THAT NEEDS TO BE
00:30:59.39\00:31:04.33
UNDER CONTROL. SO HE
SAYS, 'HAS GOD SAID?'
00:31:04.33\00:31:10.47
NOW I'M GOING TO - I'M GOING TO
HAVE SOMEONE READ PSALM 91:13.
00:31:10.47\00:31:14.90
OKAY, YOU'LL - WE'LL
GET TO YOU IN JUST A MINUTE.
00:31:14.90\00:31:18.37
THE ANGELS - NOW THIS IS FROM
THE BOOK CONFLICT AND COURAGE P.
00:31:18.37\00:31:23.14
15 - THE ANGELS HAD CAUTIONED
EVE TO BEWARE OF SEPARATING
00:31:23.14\00:31:27.88
HERSELF FROM HER HUSBAND WHILE
OCCUPIED IN THEIR DAILY LABOR IN
00:31:27.88\00:31:31.12
THE GARDEN;" - WHY WAS
EVE - AND ADAM - CAUTIONED?
00:31:31.12\00:31:34.59
WAS THERE A REBEL IN THE
UNIVERSE THAT WAS LOOKING TO
00:31:34.59\00:31:38.59
RECRUIT AND HE USED DECEPTION?
AND THE ANGELS SAY - SAID, 'YOU
00:31:38.59\00:31:45.03
GUYS'LL BE STRONGER TOGETHER.'
WHY DID JESUS SEND THE DISCIPLES
00:31:45.03\00:31:48.60
OUT WITNESSING TWO BY TWO?
YOU'RE SAFER AGAINST TEMPTATION
00:31:48.60\00:31:54.71
IF YOU TRAVEL WITH SOMEBODY.
YOU'RE MORE EFFECTIVE IN YOUR
00:31:54.71\00:31:59.28
WITNESSING WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
"...BEWARE OF SEPARATING HERSELF
00:31:59.28\00:32:04.82
FROM HER HUSBAND WHILE OCCUPIED
IN THEIR DAILY LABOR IN THE
00:32:04.82\00:32:07.66
GARDEN; WITH HIM SHE WOULD BE
IN LESS DANGER FROM TEMPTATION
00:32:07.66\00:32:10.83
THAN IF SHE WERE ALONE.
BUT ABSORBED IN HER PLEASING
00:32:10.83\00:32:13.66
TASK, SHE UNCONSCIOUSLY
WANDERED FROM HIS SIDE."
00:32:13.66\00:32:17.10
- IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL - "SHE
SOON FOUND HERSELF GAZING WITH
00:32:17.10\00:32:20.80
MINGLED CURIOSITY AND ADMIRATION
UPON THE FORBIDDEN TREE."
00:32:20.80\00:32:24.74
- NOW, ALL THE TREES IN THE
GARDEN WERE BEAUTIFUL EXCEPT
00:32:24.74\00:32:27.74
THERE WAS ONE UGLY
TREE? IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
00:32:27.74\00:32:31.85
IT LOOKED LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOME
HALF-DEAD OAK IN A GRAVEYARD.
00:32:31.85\00:32:37.52
NO, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL TREE.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT.
00:32:37.52\00:32:42.92
AND, YOU KNOW, IN THE PICTURES,
THEY ALWAYS MAKE THE FRUIT LOOK
00:32:42.92\00:32:46.03
LIKE AN APPLE OR A PEAR, BUT
I'VE TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD
00:32:46.03\00:32:50.17
AND I'VE SEEN SOME
INCREDIBLY EXOTIC-LOOKING FRUIT.
00:32:50.17\00:32:53.54
THERE'S EVEN A FRUIT IN
THE SOUTH PACIFIC, THEY CALL IT
00:32:53.54\00:32:57.27
SNAKESKIN FRUIT - ANY OF
YOU EVER EATEN SNAKESKIN FRUIT?
00:32:57.27\00:33:01.08
ANY OF YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:33:01.08\00:33:02.38
YEAH, THE SKIN
LOOKS JUST LIKE SCALES.
00:33:02.38\00:33:06.41
IT'S ACTUALLY VERY GOOD.
STARFRUIT - THEY'VE GOT FRUIT
00:33:06.41\00:33:11.95
THAT GROWS ON TREES -
LOOKS LIKE STRAWBERRIES.
00:33:11.95\00:33:15.59
AND THEY'VE GOT FRUITS THAT GOT
ALL THE POINTS AND SHAPES AND
00:33:15.59\00:33:18.09
GEOMETRIC DESIGNS, AND
PINEAPPLE, BUT THEY ALWAYS PUT
00:33:18.09\00:33:21.93
THE FRUIT ON THE
TREE TO LOOK LIKE A PEAR.
00:33:21.93\00:33:25.37
IT'S REALLY BORING. OR
THEY SAY IT WAS AN APPLE.
00:33:25.37\00:33:30.01
THE WORD 'APPLE' IS SORT OF
A GENERIC WORD FOR FRUIT IN OLD
00:33:30.01\00:33:33.78
ENGLISH AND SO THEY CALLED THIS
THE ADAM'S APPLE BECAUSE IT GOT
00:33:33.78\00:33:38.35
STUCK HALFWAY DOWN, I GUESS.
BUT THE SERPENT - "THE FRUIT
00:33:38.35\00:33:46.25
WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL, AND
SHE QUESTIONED WITH HERSELF WHY
00:33:46.25\00:33:49.69
GOD HAD WITHHELD IT FROM THEM."
AND RIGHT WHEN SHE WAS THINKING
00:33:49.69\00:33:52.29
THAT THE TEMPTER
TOOK HIS OPPORTUNITY.
00:33:52.29\00:33:54.76
AS IF HE WERE ABLE TO DISCERN
THE WORKINGS OF HER MIND, HE
00:33:54.76\00:33:57.27
ADDRESSED HER: "YEA, HATH GOD
SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY
00:33:57.27\00:34:00.64
TREE?" SO THE DEVIL TOOK
POSSESSION OF THE SERPENT AND
00:34:00.64\00:34:05.34
THE SERPENT, FROM THEN ON,
HAS BECOME A SYMBOL OF WHAT?
00:34:05.34\00:34:08.34
THE DEVIL - SATAN -
RIGHT? IN THE BIBLE.
00:34:08.34\00:34:11.41
GO AHEAD READ
FOR US PSALM 91:13.
00:34:11.41\00:34:17.25
>>PSALM 91:13, "YOU SHALL TREAD
UPON THE LION AND THE COBRA, THE
00:34:17.25\00:34:22.06
YOUNG LION AND THE SERPENT
YOU SHALL TRAMPLE UNDERFOOT."
00:34:22.06\00:34:25.89
>>NOW WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN
IT SAYS YOU'LL TRAMPLE THE YOUNG
00:34:25.89\00:34:28.50
LION AND THE SERPENT?
IS THE LION ANOTHER SYMBOL?
00:34:28.50\00:34:32.57
'THE DEVIL GOES
AROUND AS A ROARING -
00:34:32.57\00:34:34.30
>>LION. >>LION.
00:34:34.30\00:34:36.40
AND IF YOU READ HERE IN - OH,
YOU READ IN ROMANS 16:20 - "AND
00:34:36.40\00:34:42.24
THE GOD OF PEACE WILL
CRUSH SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET."
00:34:42.24\00:34:45.38
- IT SAYS YOU'LL TRAMPLE THE
SERPENT - "AND THE GOD OF PEACE
00:34:45.38\00:34:47.95
WILL CRUSH SATAN
UNDER YOUR FEET SHORTLY.
00:34:47.95\00:34:50.79
THE GRACE OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU."
00:34:50.79\00:34:53.15
JESUS SAID, IN JOHN 8:44, "YOU
ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL AND
00:34:53.15\00:34:57.63
THE DESIRES OF
YOUR FATHER YOU WILL DO.
00:34:57.63\00:35:00.13
HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE
BEGINNING, AND DOES NOT STAND IN
00:35:00.13\00:35:02.76
THE TRUTH, BECAUSE
THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM.
00:35:02.76\00:35:04.83
WHEN HE SPEAKS A LIE, HE SPEAKS
FROM HIS OWN RESOURCES, FOR HE
00:35:04.83\00:35:07.94
IS A LIAR AND THE
FATHER OF IT." SO HE LIED.
00:35:07.94\00:35:10.81
HE DECEIVED EVE. SHE SAID, 'NO,
WE'RE NOT TO EAT IT OR TOUCH IT
00:35:10.81\00:35:16.04
OR WE'LL DIE.' AND
WHAT DID THE DEVIL SAY?
00:35:16.04\00:35:18.05
'YOU'RE NOT REALLY GOING TO DIE.
GOD IS KEEPING SOMETHING FROM
00:35:18.05\00:35:22.45
YOU. HAVE YOU
TALKED TO ANY OTHER
00:35:22.45\00:35:23.89
GODS? THERE'S A
LOT OF OTHER GODS OUT
00:35:23.89\00:35:25.12
THERE AND THE WAY THEY BECAME
GODS IS THEY ATE FROM THIS TREE.
00:35:25.12\00:35:28.76
GOD DOESN'T WANT TO
SHARE HIS DIVINITY WITH YOU.
00:35:28.76\00:35:31.76
HE KNOWS IF YOU FIND OUT ABOUT
THAT - YOU EAT FROM THIS TREE -
00:35:31.76\00:35:34.10
YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GOD TOO.
YOU'LL HAVE THE SAME POWER AS
00:35:34.10\00:35:36.46
HIM. YOU WON'T
HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF
00:35:36.46\00:35:37.90
HIM KILLING YOU BECAUSE
YOU'LL BE LIKE GOD YOURSELF.'
00:35:37.90\00:35:40.97
THE DEVIL SUPERIMPOSED,
IN EVE, HIS OWN DESIRE.
00:35:40.97\00:35:46.31
WHAT DID THE DEVIL
WANT? HE WANTED TO BE GOD.
00:35:46.31\00:35:49.51
AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S REALLY
ONLY TWO WORSHIPS IN THE WORLD.
00:35:49.51\00:35:52.31
THERE'S A WORSHIP OF GOD
AND THE WORSHIP OF YOURSELF.
00:35:52.31\00:35:56.28
ALL FALSE WORSHIP IS, AT ITS
CORE, IF IT'S RIGHTEOUSNESS BY
00:35:56.28\00:36:01.79
WORKS, YOU'RE WORSHIPING
YOURSELF BECAUSE OF THE WORK
00:36:01.79\00:36:04.69
YOU'VE DONE. IF YOU SAY,
'I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANY GOD.'
00:36:04.69\00:36:07.76
YES YOU DO. YOU ARE YOUR GOD.
YOU'RE EITHER WORSHIPING GOD OR
00:36:07.76\00:36:12.10
YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF
YOUR GOD. THERE'S ONLY TWO GODS.
00:36:12.10\00:36:16.17
THE DEVIL WANTED TO BE GOD.
HE IMPLANTED THAT DESIRE IN EVE.
00:36:16.17\00:36:19.64
YOU WILL BE AS GOD AND OTHERS
WILL WORSHIP YOU.' IS WHAT
00:36:19.64\00:36:24.11
HOLLYWOOD TEACHES.
'GOD KNOWS, IN THE DAY YOU
00:36:24.11\00:36:28.75
EAT, YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENED.
HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE.
00:36:28.75\00:36:31.49
YOU'LL BE LIKE GOD,
KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL.
00:36:31.49\00:36:34.29
AND EVIL - THERE'S WONDERFUL
THINGS ABOUT EVIL.' "SO WHEN THE
00:36:34.29\00:36:38.53
WOMAN SAW THAT THE TREE WAS GOOD
FOR FOOD," - THE SERPENT WAS
00:36:38.53\00:36:41.83
EATING IT. HE LOOKED FINE.
00:36:41.83\00:36:44.03
SMELLED GREAT - "THAT IT WAS
PLEASANT TO THE EYES, AND A TREE
00:36:44.03\00:36:47.80
DESIRABLE TO MAKE ONE WISE,
SHE TOOK OF ITS FRUIT AND ATE."
00:36:47.80\00:36:52.57
NOW, THERE ARE THREE AREAS OF
SIN: THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE
00:36:52.57\00:36:58.31
LUST OF THE EYES,
AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE.
00:36:58.31\00:37:00.98
THERE WERE THREE AREAS WHERE
JESUS WAS TEMPTED: FOOD - TURN
00:37:00.98\00:37:06.29
THESE STONES INTO BREAD -
SHOWED HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS.
00:37:06.29\00:37:09.46
IT WAS PLEASANT TO THE
EYES. AND THEN THE PRIDE OF LIFE
00:37:09.46\00:37:12.83
- FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP
ME. I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING.
00:37:12.83\00:37:16.10
THOSE ARE THE SAME THREE
AREAS WHERE ADAM AND EVE FELL.
00:37:16.10\00:37:20.14
SHE ATE IT AND THEN IT SAYS SHE
GAVE TO HER HUSBAND WITH HER" -
00:37:20.14\00:37:23.51
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'SEE, ADAM
WAS RIGHT THERE WITH HER WHEN
00:37:23.51\00:37:25.77
THE DEVIL WAS TALKING TO HER.'
NO, IT MEANS HE WAS WITH HER IN
00:37:25.77\00:37:29.11
THE GARDEN. THERE
WERE ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN
00:37:29.11\00:37:30.71
THE GARDEN AND HE
WASN'T WITH HER AT HER SIDE
00:37:30.71\00:37:34.65
WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
IT MEANS HE GAVE IT TO
00:37:34.65\00:37:36.82
HER TO EAT ALONG WITH HER.
SHE ATE IT AND SHE GAVE IT TO
00:37:36.82\00:37:41.42
HER HUSBAND TO
EAT IT ALONG WITH HER.
00:37:41.42\00:37:43.32
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE MADE A BIG
DEAL OF SAYING, 'SEE, ADAM WAS
00:37:43.32\00:37:45.39
STANDING RIGHT THERE THROUGH
THIS WHOLE DISCOURSE.' NO,
00:37:45.39\00:37:47.93
THAT'S NOT TRUE - "THEN THE EYES
OF BOTH OF THEM WERE OPENED," -
00:37:47.93\00:37:51.80
AT FIRST IT
PROBABLY FELT EXHILARATING.
00:37:51.80\00:37:54.40
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN THE
TEMPORARY PLEASURES OF SIN, AND
00:37:54.40\00:37:57.31
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE
TASTE, AND THEY THOUGHT, 'YEAH,
00:37:57.31\00:37:59.17
WE'RE ENTERING
INTO THIS NEW SPHERE.
00:37:59.17\00:38:01.74
SOMETHING'S CHANGING. I
FEEL A CHANGE COMING OVER ME.
00:38:01.74\00:38:05.41
MATTER OF FACT, I FEEL A
DRAFT. WOW, YOU'RE NAKED!'
00:38:05.41\00:38:10.85
'NO, YOU'RE NAKED TOO!'
THEY HAD THESE ROBES OF LIGHT
00:38:10.85\00:38:13.66
THAT KEPT THEM WARM AND THEN -
YEAH, THEY FELT THE DIFFERENCE.
00:38:13.66\00:38:18.69
THEIR LIGHT WENT
OUT. THEY FELT SHAME.
00:38:18.69\00:38:22.63
AND DID IT MAKE THEIR LIVES
BETTER OR WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF
00:38:22.63\00:38:25.23
THAT? THIS IS UNDER THE
SECTION THE FALL PART 2.
00:38:25.23\00:38:31.14
IMMEDIATELY, GOD GOES TO
THEM. THEY HEARD THE VOICE.
00:38:31.14\00:38:34.74
THEIR EYES WERE OPENED - VERSE
7, "AND THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE
00:38:34.74\00:38:37.91
NAKED;" - YEAH, THEY
HAD A NEW REVELATION.
00:38:37.91\00:38:41.52
THEY HAD - NOW, YOU MIGHT BE
SAYING, 'PASTOR DOUG, HOW DO YOU
00:38:41.52\00:38:44.25
KNOW THEY HAD
ROBES OF LIGHT BEFORE?'
00:38:44.25\00:38:47.52
WHEN MOSES TALKED TO GOD ON THE
MOUNTAIN, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE
00:38:47.52\00:38:51.46
SAY HAPPENED TO HIS
FACE? >>IT WAS SHINY.
00:38:51.46\00:38:54.86
>>IT WAS GLOWING - SO MUCH SO -
HE WAS GLOWING SO BRIGHTLY THAT
00:38:54.86\00:38:59.70
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SAID,
'CAN YOU PLEASE COVER YOUR FACE?
00:38:59.70\00:39:01.90
WE CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU.'
SO IF ADAM AND EVE TALKED TO GOD
00:39:01.90\00:39:05.54
ALL THE TIME, AND THEY TALKED TO
ANGELS, THEY HAD THESE ROBES OF
00:39:05.54\00:39:09.11
LIGHT. AND THE ROBES OF LIGHT
- THE WHITE ROBES THAT GOD GIVES
00:39:09.11\00:39:12.25
THE REDEEMED, THAT'S THE
SAME LIGHT. SO - BUT WHEN THEY
00:39:12.25\00:39:16.02
SINNED, THE LIGHT WENT OUT.
THEIR EYES WERE OPENED AND THEY
00:39:16.02\00:39:19.79
KNEW THEY WERE NAKED
AND WHAT DID THEY DO?
00:39:19.79\00:39:21.59
THEY SEWED TOGETHER FIG LEAVES
TO MAKE THEMSELVES COVERINGS.
00:39:21.59\00:39:24.49
NOW HOW WELL WOULD THAT
LAST? HAD ANYTHING DIED BEFORE?
00:39:24.49\00:39:29.63
THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THE WITHER
EFFECT. THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THE
00:39:29.63\00:39:32.43
WITHER EFFECT. AND
IF THEY SEWED THESE FIG
00:39:32.43\00:39:36.30
LEAVES TOGETHER - THEY THOUGHT,
'OH, THIS'LL WORK GREAT.' BUT
00:39:36.30\00:39:38.51
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IT
SAYS? IT SAYS THEY MADE
00:39:38.51\00:39:41.54
APRONS FOR THEMSELVES.
SO THEY WERE VERY SMALL.
00:39:41.54\00:39:48.62
THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO
DO SOMETHING AS AN EMERGENCY.
00:39:48.62\00:39:51.69
"AND THEY HEARD THE SOUND OF THE
LORD WALKING IN THE GARDEN IN
00:39:51.69\00:39:54.06
THE COOL OF THE DAY," - THEY
HEARD HIS VOICE - "AND ADAM AND
00:39:54.06\00:40:00.43
HIS WIFE HID THEMSELVES FROM THE
PRESENCE OF THE LORD" - DID GOD
00:40:00.43\00:40:04.57
SEPARATE FROM MAN OR
DID MAN SEPARATE FROM GOD?
00:40:04.57\00:40:08.34
THEY HID THEMSELVES FROM THE
PRESENCE OF THE LORD - "THEN THE
00:40:08.34\00:40:11.17
LORD GOD CALLED TO ADAM AND
SAID TO HIM, 'WHERE ARE YOU?'"
00:40:11.17\00:40:12.94
- NOW, DID GOD KNOW
WHERE THEY WERE? OF COURSE.
00:40:12.94\00:40:15.88
GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS.
HE WAS WANTING ADAM TO
00:40:15.88\00:40:18.05
THINK, WHAT HAS THIS
DONE? WHERE HAS THIS TAKEN YOU?
00:40:18.05\00:40:22.02
SOMETIMES WE DISOBEY GOD
AND GOD SAYS, 'WHERE ARE YOU?'
00:40:22.02\00:40:25.52
'WHERE DID THIS TAKE - HE
SAID, 'HOW DID I GET HERE?'
00:40:25.52\00:40:28.26
YOU'RE LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON
IN A PIGPEN IN SOME FAR COUNTRY
00:40:28.26\00:40:31.33
STARVING TO DEATH CRAVING
WHAT THE PIGS ARE EATING AND GOD
00:40:31.33\00:40:33.66
SAYS, 'WHERE ARE YOU?'
'OH, I WAS GOING TO RUN AWAY
00:40:33.66\00:40:36.67
FROM HOME AND I WAS GOING TO
JUST - I GOT THIS INHERITANCE
00:40:36.67\00:40:38.93
AND I WAS GOING TO HAVE A GREAT
TIME AND NOW I'M FRIENDLESS,
00:40:38.93\00:40:44.04
FOODLESS, IN A PIG PEN.
GOD SAYS, 'WHERE ARE YOU?'
00:40:44.04\00:40:50.08
AND THEY WERE AFRAID.
"I HEARD YOUR VOICE IN THE
00:40:50.08\00:40:52.81
GARDEN, AND I WAS AFRAID BECAUSE
I WAS NAKED; AND I HID MYSELF.'
00:40:52.81\00:40:57.05
AND HE SAID, 'WHO TOLD
YOU THAT YOU WERE NAKED?
00:40:57.05\00:40:59.49
HAVE YOU EATEN FROM THE TREE OF
WHICH I COMMANDED YOU THAT YOU
00:40:59.49\00:41:02.19
SHOULD NOT
EAT?'" WHERE DID ALL THE
00:41:02.19\00:41:04.49
PROBLEMS COME FROM? 'I
COMMANDED YOU NOT TO DO
00:41:04.49\00:41:06.90
THIS.' THEY DISOBEYED THE
COMMAND AND THINGS WENT BAD.
00:41:06.90\00:41:10.73
AND SO, ADAM - YOU KNOW,
WHY DID ADAM EAT THE FRUIT?
00:41:10.73\00:41:14.37
WAS HE DECEIVED
BY THE DEVIL? >>NO.
00:41:14.37\00:41:16.40
>>WHY DID HE EAT THE
FRUIT? WAS HE DECEIVED BY EVE?
00:41:16.40\00:41:20.21
ADAM ATE THE FRUIT
BECAUSE HE LOVED EVE.
00:41:20.21\00:41:22.94
HE COULDN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT
THAT HE WOULD LOSE HER AND SO HE
00:41:22.94\00:41:28.55
LOVED HER SO MUCH HE SAID, 'I'M
GOING TO SHARE HER FATE.' AND
00:41:28.55\00:41:31.35
NOW, AFTER HE'S EATEN THE
FORBIDDEN FRUIT, HE THROWS HER
00:41:31.35\00:41:35.19
UNDER THE BUS. 'OH LORD,
IT'S THAT WOMAN YOU MADE.
00:41:35.19\00:41:40.96
SHE MADE ME DO IT.
IT'S YOUR FAULT, GOD.
00:41:40.96\00:41:46.37
I WAS OKAY AND THEN, AFTER
NAMING THE ANIMALS, YOU THOUGHT
00:41:46.37\00:41:48.57
I HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE.
THE WOMAN, WHO YOU GAVE ME...'
00:41:48.57\00:41:56.75
SO WHAT DOES - ISN'T IT
THE DEVIL WHO ALWAYS GETS US TO
00:41:56.75\00:41:59.68
BLAME GOD FOR ALL
THE SIN IN THE WORLD?
00:41:59.68\00:42:02.38
YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
ATHEISTS AND WHEN I TALK TO THEM
00:42:02.38\00:42:04.55
ABOUT GOD THEY SAY, 'IF THERE'S
A GOD, LOOK AT WHAT HE DID TO
00:42:04.55\00:42:06.99
THE WORLD. ALL
THIS MISERY, IT'S HIS
00:42:06.99\00:42:09.19
FAULT.' AND THEY
DON'T UNDERSTAND GOD MADE
00:42:09.19\00:42:10.99
EVERYTHING GOOD. HE
MADE EVERYTHING PERFECT.
00:42:10.99\00:42:14.23
'THE WOMAN YOU GAVE ME.' AND
SO THEN GOD SAYS TO THE WOMAN,
00:42:14.23\00:42:18.53
'OKAY, HE SAYS IT'S YOUR FAULT.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY?'
00:42:18.53\00:42:21.30
I'M PARAPHRASING -
'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?'
00:42:21.30\00:42:25.17
AND THE WOMAN
SAID, 'THE SERPENT!
00:42:25.17\00:42:26.74
HE GAVE IT TO
ME. IT'S YOUR FAULT.
00:42:26.74\00:42:29.41
YOU MADE THE SERPENT.' ALL OF
A SUDDEN, AFTER SIN, INSTEAD OF
00:42:29.41\00:42:33.15
HAVING ENLIGHTENMENT,
THEY HAVE SHAME AND BLAME.
00:42:33.15\00:42:37.92
AND NOW, THE SERPENT, HE
SUDDENLY CAN'T TALK ANYMORE AND
00:42:37.92\00:42:40.82
HE DOESN'T HAVE
A LEG TO STAND ON.
00:42:40.82\00:42:43.26
GET IT? SERPENT GETS CURSED.
AND THEN HE DECLARES THE CURSES.
00:42:43.26\00:42:52.67
NOW WE'RE DEALING WITH THE FINAL
SECTION THAT TALKS ABOUT THE
00:42:52.67\00:42:54.90
CONSEQUENCES. "SO
THE LORD GOD SAID TO THE
00:42:54.90\00:42:58.31
SERPENT:" - HE
STARTS WITH THE SERPENT.
00:42:58.31\00:43:00.24
IT'S WHERE THEY ENDED - "BECAUSE
YOU HAVE DONE THIS, YOU ARE
00:43:00.24\00:43:03.85
CURSED MORE THAN ALL CATTLE,
AND MORE THAN EVERY BEAST OF THE
00:43:03.85\00:43:07.32
FIELD; ON YOUR BELLY YOU SHALL
GO, AND YOU SHALL EAT DUST ALL
00:43:07.32\00:43:11.29
THE DAYS OF YOUR
LIFE." NOW THERE'S SOMETHING
00:43:11.29\00:43:14.32
INTERESTING ABOUT THE SERPENT.
YOU CAN FIND SNAKES THAT STILL
00:43:14.32\00:43:19.53
GLIDE THROUGH
THE AIR IN INDONESIA.
00:43:19.53\00:43:21.96
THEY FLATTEN THEIR RIBCAGE
AND THEY GLIDE BETWEEN TREES.
00:43:21.96\00:43:25.60
YOU CAN FIND SNAKES THAT LIVE
IN THE OCEAN - SEA SNAKES - I'VE
00:43:25.60\00:43:28.64
SEEN THEM THERE BEFORE.
YOU CAN FIND SNAKES THAT LIVE
00:43:28.64\00:43:31.54
UP IN ALASKA AND
DOWN IN THE TROPICS.
00:43:31.54\00:43:34.64
SNAKES ARE ON JUST
ABOUT EVERY CONTINENT.
00:43:34.64\00:43:36.88
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE IN
ANTARCTICA, BUT THEY'RE A
00:43:36.88\00:43:41.58
REMINDER OF THE
CURSE WHEREVER YOU GO.
00:43:41.58\00:43:44.95
AND WHEN THE PEOPLE SINNED AND
THEY DIDN'T WANT GOD'S BREAD -
00:43:44.95\00:43:51.36
YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY WERE GOING
THROUGH THE WILDERNESS THEY GOT
00:43:51.36\00:43:52.83
TIRED OF GOD'S BREAD? A
PLAGUE OF SERPENTS CAME.
00:43:52.83\00:43:57.50
WHEN THE DEVIL QUESTIONED THE
WORD OF GOD, WHAT IS THAT BREAD
00:43:57.50\00:43:59.20
A SYMBOL OF? WHEN
THE DEVIL QUESTIONED THE
00:43:59.20\00:44:02.00
WORD OF GOD WITH EVE,
SHE GOT BIT BY THE SERPENT.
00:44:02.00\00:44:07.74
ALL THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL GOT BIT BY A SERPENT.
00:44:07.74\00:44:09.64
WHAT DID MOSES TELL THEM TO DO?
PUT A SERPENT UP ON A POLE AND
00:44:09.64\00:44:13.98
WHOEVER LOOKS IN FAITH - THAT
SERPENT ON A POLE REPRESENTED
00:44:13.98\00:44:17.02
THE SERPENT WOULD BE DEFEATED.
SHEPHERDS USED TO KILL SNAKES
00:44:17.02\00:44:19.72
AND THEY'D CARRY IT OFF ON THEIR
STAFF BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT -
00:44:19.72\00:44:23.19
YOU KNOW, EVEN AFTER A SNAKE'S
BIT THEY'RE STILL DANGEROUS.
00:44:23.19\00:44:25.66
YOU CAN STEP ON IT AND FANGS CAN
HURT YOU AND OTHER ANIMALS CAN
00:44:25.66\00:44:29.36
EAT THEM AND GET SICK FROM DOING
THAT, SO THEY CARRY THEM OFF AND
00:44:29.36\00:44:32.43
THEY BURY THEM. SO IF
YOU WOULD LOOK AT THAT
00:44:32.43\00:44:36.27
SERPENT ON THE
POLE, A SYMBOL OF WHAT?
00:44:36.27\00:44:39.57
CHRIST SAID, 'AS MOSES LIFTED UP
THE SERPENT, EVEN SO THE SON OF
00:44:39.57\00:44:42.01
MAN MUST BE LIFTED UP THAT
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM MUST NOT
00:44:42.01\00:44:45.15
PERISH. ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?
00:44:45.15\00:44:47.42
THIS CORRELATION WAS MADE
BETWEEN WHEN THE SERPENT WAS
00:44:47.42\00:44:49.72
LIFTED UP AND
JESUS. YOU THINK THEY WOULD
00:44:49.72\00:44:51.25
BE AN ANTITHESIS. THE
CROSS, INSTEAD OF BEING A
00:44:51.25\00:44:54.52
TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL,
BECOMES A TREE OF LIFE.
00:44:54.52\00:44:57.19
BECAUSE, WHEN YOU SEE
JESUS, THROUGH HIS DEATH, HE
00:44:57.19\00:44:59.83
NEUTRALIZED THE
VENOM OF THE SERPENT.
00:44:59.83\00:45:02.53
JESUS, THROUGH HIS DEATH, SEALED
THE DEFEAT OF THE SERPENT -
00:45:02.53\00:45:07.50
THE DEVIL. THAT'S
WHY THE DEVIL WANTED TO
00:45:07.50\00:45:09.74
GET JESUS TO SIN ON
THE CROSS - DO SOMETHING -
00:45:09.74\00:45:12.54
GET DISCOURAGED AND GIVE
UP. AND SO, THEN YOU'VE GOT
00:45:12.54\00:45:16.44
THE CURSE THAT CAME. AND
THEN ADAM AND EVE TRYING TO
00:45:16.44\00:45:20.52
COVER THEIR OWN NAKEDNESS WITH
FIG LEAVES IS SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:45:20.52\00:45:24.19
- MAN-MADE COVERING - GOD
SAID THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
00:45:24.19\00:45:28.26
YOU KNOW, JESUS CURSED
THE FIG TREE ONCE, DIDN'T HE?
00:45:28.26\00:45:31.49
SYMBOL OF SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
BECAUSE IT HAD ITS LEAVES AND NO
00:45:31.49\00:45:34.73
FRUIT. AND GOD
SAID, 'YOU'RE GOING TO
00:45:34.73\00:45:38.23
NEED SKINS.' AND SO
HE GAVE THEM ROBES OF
00:45:38.23\00:45:41.47
SKIN. NOW, HE DIDN'T USE VINYL.
00:45:41.47\00:45:44.57
I'M PRETTY SURE HE DIDN'T USE
NAUGAHYDE OR MAN-MADE MATERIALS.
00:45:44.57\00:45:49.31
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GO BUY
SHOES, IT'S SO HARD TO FIND GOOD
00:45:49.31\00:45:52.31
LEATHER SHOES ANYMORE
BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY GOOD
00:45:52.31\00:45:54.68
COUNTERFEIT LEATHERS.
I CALL THEM COUNTERFEIT.
00:45:54.68\00:45:58.09
GOD DIDN'T USE
COUNTERFEIT. HE GAVE THEM SKIN.
00:45:58.09\00:46:01.59
IN ORDER TO GET SKIN,
WHAT DOES THAT USUALLY MEAN?
00:46:01.59\00:46:04.59
SOMETHING HAS TO DIE.
THIS IS THE INTRODUCTION
00:46:04.59\00:46:07.76
OF THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM.
DON'T MISS THIS POINT: TO COVER
00:46:07.76\00:46:10.33
THEIR NAKEDNESS,
A LAMB HAD TO DIE.
00:46:10.33\00:46:15.10
TO COVER OUR NAKEDNESS,
GOD'S SON NEEDED TO DIE.
00:46:15.10\00:46:20.14
AND IT ALSO SAYS THEY
MADE APRONS OUT OF FIG LEAVES.
00:46:20.14\00:46:24.21
GOD GAVE THEM TUNICS - ROBES -
OF SKIN. NOT ONLY DID THEY HAVE
00:46:24.21\00:46:28.28
THE WRONG MATERIAL, THEY
DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH MATERIAL.
00:46:28.28\00:46:31.12
WHAT GOD GAVE THEM
WAS MORE MODEST AS WELL.
00:46:31.12\00:46:34.62
AND THEN THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN
- HE GOES ON, HE TALKED ABOUT
00:46:34.62\00:46:38.59
THE SERPENT - "AND I WILL
PUT ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND THE
00:46:38.59\00:46:41.86
WOMAN, AND BETWEEN YOUR SEED AND
HER SEED; HE SHALL BRUISE YOUR
00:46:41.86\00:46:45.27
HEAD," - THE SEED OF THE SERPENT
WILL BRUISE THE HEAD - THE SEED
00:46:45.27\00:46:49.07
OF THE WOMAN, I'M SORRY, WOULD
BRUISE THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT -
00:46:49.07\00:46:51.87
"AND YOU SHALL BRUISE HIS HEEL."
00:46:51.87\00:46:53.71
THERE WOULD BE A CONSTANT ENMITY
- BATTLE - GOING ON BETWEEN
00:46:53.71\00:46:56.38
CHRIST AND THE DEVIL. "TO
THE WOMAN HE SAID: 'I WILL
00:46:56.38\00:46:59.95
GREATLY MULTIPLY YOUR SORROW AND
YOUR CONCEPTION;" - SOME HAVE
00:46:59.95\00:47:05.75
WONDERED WAS THIS AN
ALLUSION TO MORNING SICKNESS.
00:47:05.75\00:47:08.96
EVEN IN
CONCEPTION THERE WAS SORROW.
00:47:08.96\00:47:11.63
AND, OBVIOUSLY, I DON'T THINK
THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE
00:47:11.63\00:47:16.20
KIND OF PAIN IN LABOR THAT WOMEN
EXPERIENCE NOW WHEN THEY GIVE
00:47:16.20\00:47:19.03
BIRTH. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
00:47:19.03\00:47:21.27
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE.
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT SHE
00:47:21.27\00:47:23.20
WOULD JUST ELBOW ADAM IN THE
MORNING AND SAY, 'YOU'RE NEVER
00:47:23.20\00:47:26.14
GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.' (LAUGHS)
00:47:26.14\00:47:28.41
'LOOK, A BABY!' BUT,
YOU KNOW, WE'VE PROBABLY
00:47:28.41\00:47:33.15
SEEN - THERE'S SOME ANIMALS
THAT SEEM TO GIVE BIRTH THAT IT
00:47:33.15\00:47:35.32
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
IT'S SO LABORIOUS.
00:47:35.32\00:47:38.79
BUT WHAT DOES A
WOMAN REPRESENT? >>CHURCH.
00:47:38.79\00:47:42.69
>>'IN SORROW YOU'LL BRING
FORTH.' FOR A CHURCH TO GROW,
00:47:42.69\00:47:46.49
DOESN'T IT REQUIRE LABOR?
00:47:46.49\00:47:49.43
AND SOMETIMES IT'S
HEARTBREAKING AND THERE'S PAIN.
00:47:49.43\00:47:52.53
PEOPLE COME SO CLOSE TO
ACCEPTING JESUS AND THEN THEY
00:47:52.53\00:47:55.10
WALK AWAY AND IT
BREAKS YOUR HEART.
00:47:55.10\00:47:57.77
AND DOING MISSION WORK, IS
THERE SOMETIMES PERSECUTION WHEN
00:47:57.77\00:48:00.08
YOU'RE OUT WORKING FOR THE
LORD - LABORING FOR THE LORD -
00:48:00.08\00:48:02.54
BRINGING FORTH - "I WILL GREATLY
MULTIPLY YOUR SORROW AND YOUR
00:48:02.54\00:48:08.08
CONCEPTION; IN PAIN YOU
SHALL BRING FORTH CHILDREN; YOUR
00:48:08.08\00:48:11.35
DESIRE SHALL BE FOR YOUR
HUSBAND, AND HE SHALL RULE OVER
00:48:11.35\00:48:14.22
YOU.' THEN TO ADAM HE SAID,
'BECAUSE YOU HAVE HEEDED THE
00:48:14.22\00:48:17.29
VOICE OF YOUR WIFE, AND HAVE
EATEN FROM THE TREE OF WHICH I
00:48:17.29\00:48:20.10
COMMANDED YOU, SAYING, 'YOU
SHALL NOT EAT OF IT: CURSED IS
00:48:20.10\00:48:23.63
THE GROUND FOR YOUR SAKE; IN
TOIL YOU SHALL EAT OF IT ALL THE
00:48:23.63\00:48:27.30
DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.
BOTH THORNS AND THISTLES IT
00:48:27.30\00:48:30.34
SHALL BRING FORTH FOR YOU, AND
YOU SHALL EAT THE HERB OF THE
00:48:30.34\00:48:33.21
FIELD.'" - VEGETABLES WERE ADDED
TO THE DIET - "'IN THE SWEAT OF
00:48:33.21\00:48:36.41
YOUR FACE YOU SHALL EAT BREAD
TILL YOU RETURN TO THE GROUND,
00:48:36.41\00:48:40.12
FOR OUT OF IT YOU WERE TAKEN;
FOR DUST YOU ARE, AND TO DUST
00:48:40.12\00:48:43.28
YOU SHALL RETURN.'" HE GAVE
THEM THE SKINS AND THEN HE DROVE
00:48:43.28\00:48:47.86
THEM FROM THE GARDEN, AND
THEY EXPERIENCED THE CURSE.
00:48:47.86\00:48:52.33
SO THIS IS THE
STORY OF THE TRANSITION.
00:48:52.33\00:48:55.36
THE DEVIL NOW SAID, 'SINCE
THEY'VE RECOGNIZED ME, I AM THE
00:48:55.36\00:48:58.53
PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.' AND RIGHT
AWAY AND IN OUR NEXT STUDY,
00:48:58.53\00:49:02.20
YOU'LL BEGIN TO SEE THAT
TWO CLASSES OF PEOPLE BEGIN TO
00:49:02.20\00:49:04.31
DEVELOP. AND THIS
STUDY IS GOING TO TAKE
00:49:04.31\00:49:06.47
US ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE
REBELLION RESTORED AT THE END.
00:49:06.47\00:49:10.21
BUT WE'VE RUN OUT
OF TIME FOR TODAY.
00:49:10.21\00:49:11.91

00:49:32.03\00:49:48.88
>>HI FRIENDS, THIS IS
PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR.
00:49:48.88\00:49:50.85
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HEAR AN AMAZING FACT?
00:49:50.85\00:49:53.09
MORE AND MORE OF THE WORLD IS
TURNING, NOW, TO NATURAL FORMS
00:49:53.09\00:49:56.02
OF ENERGY TO TRY AND FIND THEIR
POWER AND THEY'RE RESORTING TO
00:49:56.02\00:49:59.53
THINGS LIKE THE WIND FARM
THAT WE HAVE HERE IN JAMAICA AT
00:49:59.53\00:50:01.96
WIGTON. YOU KNOW,
I REMEMBER YEARS AGO,
00:50:01.96\00:50:04.33
MY WIFE AND I GOING TO VISIT THE
BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII AND WE WERE
00:50:04.33\00:50:07.77
AMAZED AT ALL THE POTENTIAL
THERE FOR NATURAL POWER,
00:50:07.77\00:50:10.91
BUT THEY WEREN'T USING
IT. THERE AT THE SOUTH PART OF
00:50:10.91\00:50:13.24
THE ISLAND THERE
WAS VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
00:50:13.24\00:50:16.61
YOU CAN MAKE
GEOTHERMAL POWER THERE.
00:50:16.61\00:50:19.25
IF YOU WENT TO WAIMEA, THE WIND
WAS CONSTANTLY BLOWING, BUT THEY
00:50:19.25\00:50:22.62
HAD NO WINDMILLS THERE.
IF YOU WENT OVER TO KONA, SUN
00:50:22.62\00:50:25.89
ALWAYS SHINES - SOLAR ELECTRIC
- BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE VERY MUCH
00:50:25.89\00:50:29.66
SOLAR ELECTRIC THERE. AND
IF YOU WENT TO HILO, IT WAS
00:50:29.66\00:50:32.53
ALWAYS RAINING - HYDROELECTRIC.
AND IN SPITE OF ALL THAT
00:50:32.53\00:50:36.00
POTENTIAL FOR POWER THERE ON THE
BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII, THEY WERE
00:50:36.00\00:50:39.33
POWERING THE ISLAND BACK THEN
WITH DIRTY DIESEL GENERATORS.
00:50:39.33\00:50:43.37
IT MADE ME THINK ABOUT HOW
WE SOMETIMES WASTE THE POWER OF
00:50:43.37\00:50:45.97
GOD'S SPIRIT THAT HE'S
MAKING AVAILABLE TO US.
00:50:45.97\00:50:48.41
AND EACH OF US CAN HAVE
THAT SPIRIT IF WE SIMPLY ASK.
00:50:48.41\00:50:51.58
YOU CAN READ IN ZECHARIAH
CHAPTER 10 - WHAT DO WE DO?
00:50:51.58\00:50:54.85
'ASK OF THE LORD RAIN IN THE
TIME OF THE LATTER RAIN AND HE
00:50:54.85\00:50:57.99
WILL SEND FLASHING CLOUDS.'
JESUS ALSO SAID, IN THE BOOK OF
00:50:57.99\00:51:01.42
LUKE, 'IF YOU THEN BEING EVIL
KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO
00:51:01.42\00:51:05.03
YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE
WILL YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE
00:51:05.03\00:51:08.06
THE HOLY SPIRIT
TO THEM THAT ASK?'
00:51:08.06\00:51:11.07
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE BOOK OF
ACTS, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS
00:51:11.07\00:51:14.37
POURED OUT, IT SAYS THERE WAS A
SOUND OF A MIGHTY RUSHING WIND.
00:51:14.37\00:51:18.31
AND THAT POWER THAT LAUNCHED THE
CHURCH BACK THEN CAN STILL POWER
00:51:18.31\00:51:21.34
YOUR LIFE TODAY, FRIENDS.
SO WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM?
00:51:21.34\00:51:24.91

00:52:15.76\00:52:31.71
>>I'M TLINGIT
INDIAN FROM SITKA, ALASKA.
00:52:31.71\00:52:34.78
MY TLINGIT NAME
IS WISH DUSTY CLOUD.
00:52:34.78\00:52:39.32
IT WAS A VERY DEPRESSING
TIME FOR THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA.
00:52:39.32\00:52:42.79
A LOT OF ALCOHOL ABUSE WAS
TAKING PLACE AND, UNFORTUNATELY,
00:52:42.79\00:52:49.60
MY MOTHER GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE
ALCOHOL. IT MADE MYSELF AND MY
00:52:49.60\00:52:57.07
SIBLINGS GROW UP IN A
PRETTY HORRIBLE ENVIRONMENT.
00:52:57.07\00:53:06.18
IT WAS REALLY
HARD TO UNDERSTAND GOD.
00:53:06.18\00:53:10.92
IT WAS REALLY HARD TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT LOVE WAS.
00:53:10.92\00:53:14.99
I ENDED UP HAVING A CHILD IN MY
TWELFTH GRADE AND LEAVING HOME
00:53:14.99\00:53:24.23
WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN YEARS OLD,
BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, WE MADE IT
00:53:24.23\00:53:29.37
AND I BECAME A
LONER. I BECAME A HERMIT.
00:53:29.37\00:53:32.61
SO I WENT UP TO THE BIGGEST
MARIJUANA COUNTY TO HUMBOLDT
00:53:32.61\00:53:37.45
COUNTY AND
STARTED MY NEW CAREER.
00:53:37.45\00:53:42.42
THINGS WEREN'T RIGHT THOUGH.
NO MATTER HOW NICE I KEPT
00:53:42.42\00:53:46.09
THINKING LIFE WAS LIVING UP ON
TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, NOT HAVING
00:53:46.09\00:53:50.63
TO WORRY ABOUT WEARING CLOTHING,
JUST WAKING UP AND WATCHING THE
00:53:50.63\00:53:56.16
PLANTS GROW - SEARCHING,
STILL, FOR MORE AND MORE.
00:53:56.16\00:54:01.74
I WENT TO THE POST OFFICE AND
I WAS STANDING THERE BY MYSELF.
00:54:01.74\00:54:07.74
I LOOKED DOWN AND HERE WAS THIS
WHAT IS CALLED A HANDBILL - A
00:54:07.74\00:54:12.78
POSTCARD - AND THE LETTERS ON
IT GRABBED MY ATTENTION AND IT
00:54:12.78\00:54:17.72
SAID, 'REVELATION' - I'D NEVER
HEARD REVELATION TAUGHT BEFORE
00:54:17.72\00:54:23.22
AND I THOUGHT, 'GOSH, THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN SO GOOD.' I LOOKED AT
00:54:23.22\00:54:26.93
THE TIME AND THE DATE AND I
SAID, 'WOW, THAT'S TODAY.' AND
00:54:26.93\00:54:33.97
FOR SIX WEEKS I SAT THERE IN THE
FRONT SEAT OF THAT BUILDING AND
00:54:33.97\00:54:42.18
COULD NOT BELIEVE THE THINGS
THAT I HEARD AND I FOUND THIS
00:54:42.18\00:54:49.18
HUNGER THAT I HAD IN MY
HEART FOR DECADES BEING FILLED.
00:54:49.18\00:54:53.56
I WAS ACTUALLY LIKE A STARVING
CHILD, YOU KNOW, WANTING TO GET
00:54:53.56\00:54:57.83
IN TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT REVELATION.
00:54:57.83\00:55:00.70
AND I CHOSE TO BE
BAPTIZED ON APRIL 3RD.
00:55:00.70\00:55:06.80
EVEN THOUGH I CHOSE TO
SERVE GOD, I KEPT FALLING.
00:55:06.80\00:55:11.87
I WAS GOING TO BIBLE STUDIES ALL
- FOUR TIMES A WEEK AND JUST SO
00:55:11.87\00:55:17.48
HUNGRY TO LEARN AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE. GOD JUST OVERNIGHT HAD
00:55:17.48\00:55:25.05
ME STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD
THROUGH AFCOE AND THE MIRACLES
00:55:25.05\00:55:29.12
THAT HAPPENED THROUGH
AFCOE IS SO INCREDIBLE.
00:55:29.12\00:55:33.60
THE ONLY PREACHER I WAS
LISTENING TO WAS PASTOR DOUG
00:55:33.60\00:55:36.33
BATCHELOR, WHO I
DIDN'T EVEN CALL BY HIS NAME.
00:55:36.33\00:55:40.10
I CALLED HIM 'THE CAVEMAN' AND
THEN HERE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M
00:55:40.10\00:55:44.94
SITTING IN FRONT OF HIM IN HIS
CLASSROOM, LEARNING FROM HIM.
00:55:44.94\00:55:52.01
ON OCTOBER 11, I SAT THERE,
THOUGH, IN MY ROOM SAYING,
00:55:52.01\00:55:57.22
'LORD, HERE I AM STUDYING YOUR
WORD, BUT WHAT - WHAT AM I DOING
00:55:57.22\00:56:04.03
HERE? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT ME TO DO?'
00:56:04.03\00:56:09.53
AND THAT NIGHT, ABOUT ONE IN THE
MORNING, GOD SPOKE TO ME AND HE
00:56:09.53\00:56:13.30
SAID, 'I WANT YOU TO WRITE A
NOTE TO PASTOR DOUG AND TELL HIM
00:56:13.30\00:56:17.67
WHAT YOU DO.' I SAT THERE AND
I SAID, 'NO, I'M NOT GOING TO
00:56:17.67\00:56:20.04
WRITE A NOTE. I'M NOT
GOING TO WRITE A NOTE.'
00:56:20.04\00:56:21.91
AND I SAID, 'OKAY.' SO I RIPPED
OFF A PIECE OF PAPER AND I WROTE
00:56:21.91\00:56:26.08
ON THE NOTE AND I SAID, 'I'M
AN EXPERIENCED FASHION DESIGNER.
00:56:26.08\00:56:30.19
I CAN SEW ANYTHING. I
CAN MAKE ANY PATTERNS.
00:56:30.19\00:56:33.42
IF THERE'S ANY WAY THAT I CAN BE
OF ANY SERVICE TO YOU, GOD TOLD
00:56:33.42\00:56:38.93
ME TO BE BOLD AND TELL YOU.' AND
I WALKED UP AND I HANDED HIM THE
00:56:38.93\00:56:42.46
NOTE AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT
WAS, BUT HE SAID, 'THANK YOU.'
00:56:42.46\00:56:45.50
AND FOUR HOURS LATER I GOT A
PHONE CALL FROM AMAZING FACTS.
00:56:45.50\00:56:49.97
PASTOR DOUG TOLD ME THAT I
WAS AN ANSWER TO THEIR PRAYERS.
00:56:49.97\00:56:53.84
THEY HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A
WARDROBE STYLIST FOR THEIR NEW
00:56:53.84\00:56:57.81

PRODUCING. >>ACTION! TWO! THREE!

AND NOW, OUT OF ALL THE
00:57:08.89\00:57:12.93
KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS TAUGHT TO
ME, I'M ABLE TO GO OUT INTO THIS

GOSPEL AND FINISH THE WORK
