00:04:49.82\00:04:53.56

00:04:56.69\00:05:00.76
JUSTICE AND MERCY IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT, PART 2 .
00:05:00.76\00:05:04.87
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE -
AND THE MEMORY VERSE, IN YOUR
00:05:04.87\00:05:08.24
LESSON, IT COMES FROM THE
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION, IT'S
00:05:08.24\00:05:10.71
EZEKIEL 47:9 IF YOU'D LIKE TO
SAY THAT WITH ME - EZEKIEL 47:9
00:05:10.71\00:05:16.24
- ARE YOU READY?
"SWARMS OF LIVING CREATURES WILL
00:05:16.24\00:05:20.85
LIVE WHEREVER THE RIVER FLOWS.
THERE WILL BE LARGE NUMBERS OF
00:05:20.85\00:05:25.65
FISH, BECAUSE THIS WATER FLOWS
THERE AND MAKES THAT SALT WATER
00:05:25.65\00:05:30.79
FRESH; SO WHERE THE RIVER
FLOWS EVERYTHING WILL LIVE."
00:05:30.79\00:05:36.83
YOU KNOW, I USED TO SING
THIS SONG - BEFORE I WAS A
00:05:36.83\00:05:40.14
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST I
WORSHIPED WITH AN EVANGELICAL
00:05:40.14\00:05:42.40
CHARISMATIC GROUP AND I THINK
YOU SING IT IN THE ADVENTIST
00:05:42.40\00:05:45.67
CHURCH. IT'S NOT IN YOUR HYMNAL.
00:05:45.67\00:05:48.14
'I'VE GOT A RIVER OF LIFE
FLOWING OUT OF ME, MAKES THE
00:05:48.14\00:05:51.08
LAME TO WALK AND THE BLIND TO
SEE, OPENS PRISON DOORS AND SETS
00:05:51.08\00:05:54.72
THE CAPTIVES FREE.
YOU KNOW THAT SONG?
00:05:54.72\00:05:57.45
OH YEAH, YOU SANG - IT'S LIKE
SUMMER CAMP, I GUESS, THEY SING
00:05:57.45\00:05:59.52
THAT SONG. BUT I LIKE THAT.
00:05:59.52\00:06:01.66
WHEN YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN,
IT'S LIKE IT SAYS THERE IN JOHN
00:06:01.66\00:06:04.36
CHAPTER 4 - JESUS SAID, 'YOU
WILL HAVE' - TO THE WOMAN AT THE
00:06:04.36\00:06:08.33
WELL - 'AN ARTESIAN SOURCE
OF WATER THAT WILL SPRING OUT OF
00:06:08.33\00:06:12.53
YOU - THAT WILL OVERFLOW.'
AND WHEN JESUS REVEALED TO THAT
00:06:12.53\00:06:16.24
WOMAN HE WAS THE MESSIAH, THE
FIRST THING SHE HAD TO DO WAS GO
00:06:16.24\00:06:19.71
TELL SOMEONE ELSE, AND THE WHOLE
TOWN THERE IN SAMARIA, CAME OUT
00:06:19.71\00:06:23.85
TO JESUS AND
ACCEPTED HIM AS THE MESSIAH.
00:06:23.85\00:06:26.68
WHERE THE WATER
FLOWS IT WILL LIVE.
00:06:26.68\00:06:29.62
THAT'S OUR MEMORY VERSE.
NOW THE FIRST PLACE THAT THE
00:06:29.62\00:06:31.65
LESSON TAKES US - WE GO
FROM THIS - THIS WATER OF
00:06:31.65\00:06:35.22
LIFE TO A BREATH OF LIFE.
AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
00:06:35.22\00:06:38.33
DEAD BONES SO, HOPEFULLY,
YOU'LL FIND THAT INTERESTING.
00:06:38.33\00:06:41.43
SOME OF YOU KNOW THIS FAMOUS
PASSAGE IN EZEKIEL 37 - WHY
00:06:41.43\00:06:44.83
DON'T YOU TURN THERE? THE
LESSON IS GOING TO HAVE US
00:06:44.83\00:06:47.44
CONSIDER THIS - EZEKIEL 37 -
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE READING
00:06:47.44\00:06:50.77
THE FIRST FEW VERSES.
THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES -
00:06:50.77\00:06:54.78
THERE'S A SONG ABOUT THIS TOO.
"THE HAND OF THE LORD CAME UPON
00:06:54.78\00:06:59.01
ME AND BROUGHT ME OUT IN THE
SPIRIT OF THE LORD, AND SET ME
00:06:59.01\00:07:04.89
DOWN IN THE MIDST OF THE VALLEY;
AND IT WAS FULL OF BONES."
00:07:04.89\00:07:08.62
NOW YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING, 'WHY
WOULD HE, IN VISION, BE TAKEN
00:07:08.62\00:07:12.26
AND SHOWN A VALLEY FULL OF
- OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE NOT LIVE
00:07:12.26\00:07:14.86
BONES, THEY'RE DEAD BONES.
00:07:14.86\00:07:16.77
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE,
THIS IS ONE VERSE FROM 1
00:07:16.77\00:07:20.84
CHRONICLES 18:12 - MANY BIBLE
BATTLES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
00:07:20.84\00:07:27.31
AND IF YOU READ IN 1 CHRONICLES
18:12 IT SAYS, "MOREOVER ABISHAI
00:07:27.31\00:07:31.61
THE SON OF ZERULAH" - THIS IS
THE BROTHER OF ASAHEL AND JOAB -
00:07:31.61\00:07:36.45
DAVID HAD THREE
NEPHEWS THAT WERE MIGHTY MEN.
00:07:36.45\00:07:39.99
ABISHAI BECAME DAVID'S, SORT OF,
RIGHT-HAND MAN - MIGHTY WARRIOR.
00:07:39.99\00:07:44.69
HE LED HIS TROOPS AND THEY
FOUGHT AGAINST THE EDOMITES AND
00:07:44.69\00:07:48.50
HE "KILLED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
EDOMITES IN THE VALLEY OF SALT."
00:07:48.50\00:07:53.37
DOWN THERE NOT FAR FROM THE DEAD
SEA THEY'VE GOT THE VALLEY OF
00:07:53.37\00:07:56.40
SALT. WHAT DO YOU
THINK HAPPENED WHEN
00:07:56.40\00:07:58.64
THEY HAD A BIG BATTLE LIKE THAT
AND A WHOLE ARMY WAS DECIMATED?
00:07:58.64\00:08:02.74
DID THEY HAVE RED CROSS
VOLUNTEERS THAT QUICKLY CAME
00:08:02.74\00:08:05.05
DOWN AND KIND OF PACKED UP THE
BODIES AND PUT THEM IN BAGS AND
00:08:05.05\00:08:08.38
BROUGHT THEM OFF
FOR PROPER BURIALS?
00:08:08.38\00:08:11.62
IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON IN BIBLE
TIMES - THEY OFTEN FOUGHT IN THE
00:08:11.62\00:08:16.12
VALLEYS. YOU
REMEMBER WHEN DAVID WENT
00:08:16.12\00:08:19.69
DOWN TO THE
VALLEY AGAINST GOLIATH?
00:08:19.69\00:08:22.23
THEY'D STAND ON OPPOSING
MOUNTAINS AND THEY'D TAUNT EACH
00:08:22.23\00:08:24.47
OTHER AND THEY'D FINALLY ENGAGE
IN THE VALLEY AND SOMETIMES
00:08:24.47\00:08:28.20
THERE'D BE THESE MASSIVE
SLAUGHTERS AND AFTER A BATTLE,
00:08:28.20\00:08:30.84
ESPECIALLY IF YOUR ARMY WAS
FIGHTING IN A FOREIGN LAND AND
00:08:30.84\00:08:35.98
IF THEY WERE DECIMATED, YOU
COULD HAVE THOUSANDS OF CORPSES
00:08:35.98\00:08:39.78
OUT THERE AND NOBODY THERE
TO TEND THEM. YOU REMEMBER WHAT
00:08:39.78\00:08:43.25
DAVID SAID TO GOLIATH
AND GOLIATH SAID TO DAVID?
00:08:43.25\00:08:45.72
HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO GIVE YOUR
BODY TO THE BIRDS OF THE AIR.'
00:08:45.72\00:08:48.12
YOU KNOW, EVEN REVELATION TALKS
ABOUT THIS FEAST OF THE BIRDS
00:08:48.12\00:08:51.59
WHERE ALL THE SLAIN OF THE LORD
ARE LAYING THERE AND ALL THE
00:08:51.59\00:08:53.93
BIRDS COME - AND I
KNOW THAT'S NOT VERY PRETTY.
00:08:53.93\00:08:56.36
SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE RIDING
AROUND OUT IN THE HILLS, IF YOU
00:08:56.36\00:08:58.40
SEE A CIRCLE OF VULTURES IT
OFTEN MEANS - YOU KNOW, THEY CAN
00:08:58.40\00:09:03.74
SMELL CARRION FOR MILES AND
YOU MIGHT FIND A DEAD DEAR, YOU
00:09:03.74\00:09:08.94
MIGHT FIND A DEAD BEAR OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THEY
00:09:08.94\00:09:14.35
WOULD PICK - PICK IT
CLEAN UNTIL YOU HAD BONES.
00:09:14.35\00:09:19.29
AND SO WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT A
VALLEY OF BONES, IT'S SORT OF
00:09:19.29\00:09:22.19
GIVING THE PICTURE OF A
LOST BATTLE - AN ARMY DEFEATED.
00:09:22.19\00:09:27.30
NOW THIS IS NOT REALLY TALKING
ABOUT A BATTLE, IT'S TALKING
00:09:27.30\00:09:29.66
ABOUT GOD'S PEOPLE THAT
LOOK LIKE THEIR SITUATION IS
00:09:29.66\00:09:32.77
HOPELESS, OKAY? SO THEY
ALL UNDERSTOOD THESE TERMS.
00:09:32.77\00:09:37.01
THEY - IF YOU LIVED BACK THEN
YOU MIGHT HIKE AROUND AND FIND A
00:09:37.01\00:09:39.87
VALLEY OF BONES - AND IT
TALKED ABOUT AN OLD BATTLE.
00:09:39.87\00:09:44.08
"AND HE CAUSED ME TO
PASS BY THEM ALL AROUND."
00:09:44.08\00:09:46.98
HE'S HAVING TO PASS BY AND
THROUGH ALL THESE DEAD BONES -
00:09:46.98\00:09:50.19
"AND THERE WERE VERY MANY IN THE
OPEN VALLEY, AND INDEED, THEY
00:09:50.19\00:09:55.56
WERE VERY DRY." NOW,
WHEN THEY'RE DRY, THAT
00:09:55.56\00:09:59.86
MEANS THERE'S NO LIFE LEFT AND
THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR AWHILE -
00:09:59.86\00:10:04.60
IT'S LOOKING HOPELESS - "AND
HE SAID TO ME, 'SON OF MAN'" -
00:10:04.60\00:10:08.87
HERE'S ALL THESE BLEACHED
BONES - "'CAN THESE BONES LIVE?'
00:10:08.87\00:10:14.48
AND SO I ANSWERED, 'OH LORD,
GOD, YOU KNOW.'" CAN YOU TELL ME
00:10:14.48\00:10:18.91
SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE
IT SAYS THAT IN THE BIBLE?
00:10:18.91\00:10:21.72
'LORD, YOU KNOW.' GOD ASKS A
QUESTION AND THE PROPHET ANSWERS
00:10:21.72\00:10:24.92
AND SAYS, 'LORD, YOU KNOW.' LAST
WEEK WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:10:24.92\00:10:28.59
144,000 AND THE ANGEL SAYS TO
JOHN, 'WHO ARE THESE ARRAYED IN
00:10:28.59\00:10:33.86
WHITE ROBES?' AND
JOHN SAYS, 'YOU KNOW.' NOW,
00:10:33.86\00:10:39.27
EZEKIEL COULD HAVE SAID, 'OF
COURSE THESE BONES CAN'T LIVE.'
00:10:39.27\00:10:41.87
BUT IS THAT WHAT HE SAYS?
HE DIDN'T - YOU DON'T WANT TO
00:10:41.87\00:10:44.84
UNDERESTIMATE GOD AND IF THE
LORD CAN MAKE AN AX HEAD SWIM
00:10:44.84\00:10:53.05
AND IF HE COULD BRING THAT
NATION UP OUT OF EGYPT, AND
00:10:53.05\00:10:58.15
IF ELISHA COULD RESURRECT AND
ELIJAH COULD RESURRECT A DEAD
00:10:58.15\00:11:00.92
BODY - SO WHEN GOD
SAYS, 'CAN THESE BONES LIVE?'
00:11:00.92\00:11:04.83
YOU KNOW THE STORY WHERE A MAN
WAS BEING BURIED AND WHILE THEY
00:11:04.83\00:11:08.83
WERE HAVING THE FUNERAL, MOABITE
RAIDERS CAME THROUGH THE COUNTRY
00:11:08.83\00:11:13.13
THERE IN NORTHERN ISRAEL, AND
THE MEN REALIZED, 'LOOK, WE'D
00:11:13.13\00:11:18.27
BETTER GET BACK TO OUR HOMES.
WE CAN'T FINISH THIS BURIAL.'
00:11:18.27\00:11:21.51
AND THEY SAID, 'WHAT
DO WE DO WITH THE BODY?'
00:11:21.51\00:11:22.74
THEY SAID, 'WELL, HERE'S THE
GRAVE OF ELISHA, LET'S TAKE THE
00:11:22.74\00:11:25.38
LID OFF AND TOSS HIM DOWN IN
THERE.' AND THEY MOVED THE LID
00:11:25.38\00:11:29.48
AND THEY DROPPED THIS BODY DOWN
IN ON THE BONES OF ELISHA - AND
00:11:29.48\00:11:32.12
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THIS
BODY HIT THE BONES OF ELISHA?
00:11:32.12\00:11:35.42
IT CAME BACK TO LIFE.
ELISHA WAS A PROPHET THAT HAD
00:11:35.42\00:11:39.59
TWICE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF ELIJAH.
ELIJAH RESURRECTED A BOY WHILE
00:11:39.59\00:11:44.90
HE WAS ALIVE; ELISHA RESURRECTED
A BOY WHILE HE WAS ALIVE, BUT
00:11:44.90\00:11:49.34
ELISHA HAD A DOUBLE PORTION OF
THE SPIRIT - ELISHA RESURRECTED
00:11:49.34\00:11:51.57
A BOY WHEN HE WAS DEAD.
YOU NAME ANOTHER PROPHET THAT
00:11:51.57\00:11:55.28
COULD PERFORM A MIRACLE
AFTER HIS DEATH, LIKE THAT.
00:11:55.28\00:11:58.68
WELL, JESUS ROSE
HIMSELF, DIDN'T HE?
00:11:58.68\00:12:01.35
AND SO HE SAID,
"CAN THESE BONES LIVE?"
00:12:01.35\00:12:04.82
HE SAID, "'YOU KNOW.' AGAIN
HE SAID TO ME, PROPHESY TO THESE
00:12:04.82\00:12:09.16
BONES AND SAY TO THEM, 'OH DRY
BONES'" - NOW, WOULD YOU FEEL
00:12:09.16\00:12:13.80
FUNNY DOING THAT?
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS.
00:12:13.80\00:12:18.63
SOMETIMES I PREACH IN SOME
PLACES AND YOU WONDER IF YOU'RE
00:12:18.63\00:12:22.67
TALKING TO A ROOM OF
- >>HOPEFULLY NOT TODAY.
00:12:22.67\00:12:27.21
>>NOT TODAY, NO
- NOT THIS GROUP.
00:12:27.21\00:12:32.55
HE SAID - BUT, I MEAN, HAS
A PREACHER EVER BEEN GIVEN A
00:12:32.55\00:12:34.88
TOUGHER ASSIGNMENT?
'PREACH TO A VALLEY OF BONES.'
00:12:34.88\00:12:42.29
BUT IF GOD TELLS YOU TO PREACH,
PREACH, RIGHT? DON'T EVER
00:12:42.29\00:12:46.36
UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE
WORD. "PROPHESY TO THESE BONES
00:12:46.36\00:12:52.23
AND SAY TO THEM, 'OH DRY BONES,
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD.
00:12:52.23\00:12:56.10
THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD TO THESE
BONES" - I CAN JUST SEE ELISHA,
00:12:56.10\00:12:59.61
YOU KNOW, HE'S WALKING AROUND
AMONG THESE BONES AND HE'S
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.11
PREACHING AND THERE HE'S LOOKING
AT THESE SKULLS AND YOU CAN SEE
00:13:02.11\00:13:04.18
RIGHT THROUGH THE EYE SOCKETS
OUT THE EARS, YOU KNOW, AND HE'S
00:13:04.18\00:13:07.12
THINKING, 'BOY, IT'S JUST GOING
IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER,
00:13:07.12\00:13:09.75
LITERALLY.' (LAUGHTER) THAT'S
A TOUGH ASSIGNMENT FOR A PASTOR.
00:13:09.75\00:13:18.06
"PREACH TO THESE BONES, THUS
SAYS THE LORD TO THESE BONES,
00:13:18.06\00:13:23.03
'SURELY, I WILL CAUSE BREATH
TO ENTER INTO YOU AND YOU WILL
00:13:23.03\00:13:26.87
LIVE. I WILL
PUT SINEW ON YOU AND
00:13:26.87\00:13:30.21
BRING FLESH UPON YOU AND COVER
YOU WITH SKIN AND PUT BREATH IN
00:13:30.21\00:13:34.58
YOU.'" - HE'S ACTUALLY PREACHING
AND IT'S DECOMPOSITION IN
00:13:34.58\00:13:38.61
REVERSE - "'AND I'LL PUT BREATH
IN YOU AND YOU WILL LIVE AND
00:13:38.61\00:13:43.65
THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM
THE LORD.' AND SO I PROPHESIED
00:13:43.65\00:13:48.69
AS I WAS COMMANDED AND AS I
PROPHESIED, THERE WAS A NOISE
00:13:48.69\00:13:54.60
AND SUDDENLY A RATTLING
AND THE BONES CAME TOGETHER."
00:13:54.60\00:14:00.44
YOU KNOW, THE POWER OF THE
WORD IS SOMETHING. YOU START
00:14:00.44\00:14:02.10
PREACHING AND YOU HEAR RATTLING.
YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE GETTING
00:14:02.10\00:14:05.27
ANYWHERE, YOU DON'T THINK WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING IS SINKING IN, BUT
00:14:05.27\00:14:08.18
WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE
WORD OF GOD, THERE'S INHERENT
00:14:08.18\00:14:10.28
POWER IN THE WORD OF GOD
AND YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED IF
00:14:10.28\00:14:13.45
THINGS START TO RATTLE. >>AMEN.
00:14:13.45\00:14:16.18
>>AND HEARTS START TO STIR
AND PEOPLE WHO WERE DEAD IN
00:14:16.18\00:14:19.59
TRESPASSES AND SINS BEGIN
TO COME BACK TO LIFE AGAIN.
00:14:19.59\00:14:24.26
"AND BONE CAME
TOGETHER WITH BONE."
00:14:24.26\00:14:27.86
YOU KNOW THAT SONG - OLD
SPIRITUAL - KNEE BONE CONNECTED
00:14:27.86\00:14:31.10
TO THE HIP BONE - I PROBABLY GOT
THEM WRONG, BUT 'DEM BONES, DEM
00:14:31.10\00:14:36.14
BONES' YOU KNOW? IT'S
ABOUT EZEKIEL'S SERMON.
00:14:36.14\00:14:43.38
"AND INDEED THERE WAS A RATTLING
AND THE BONES CAME TOGETHER,
00:14:43.38\00:14:46.51
BONE TO BONE." THE
BONES GOT MATCHED WITH THE
00:14:46.51\00:14:48.48
RIGHT BODY - YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
AFTER ALL THE ANIMALS DRAG
00:14:48.48\00:14:51.99
THEM AROUND AND THE BIRDS PICK
THROUGH THEM. THE BONES AREN'T
00:14:51.99\00:14:54.19
CONNECTED WITH THE RIGHT SPOTS
ANYMORE. IN THE RESURRECTION IS
00:14:54.19\00:14:57.29
GOD GOING TO KNOW HOW TO PIECE
PEOPLE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN?
00:14:57.29\00:15:01.40
IT'S FUN, WHEN YOU HEAR
PEOPLE FIRST HEAR - COME TO AN
00:15:01.40\00:15:03.83
EVANGELISTIC MEETING AND YOU
START TALKING ABOUT THE STATE OF
00:15:03.83\00:15:06.37
THE DEAD AND THE RESURRECTION
AND THE SECOND COMING, PEOPLE
00:15:06.37\00:15:09.27
BEGIN TO THINK, 'WHAT ABOUT ALL
THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE SORT OF
00:15:09.27\00:15:13.34
BURIED IN MASS GRAVES AND, YOU
KNOW, THEY - IS GOD GOING TO BE
00:15:13.34\00:15:19.48
ABLE TO SORT ALL THAT OUT?
00:15:19.48\00:15:22.52
WHAT ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE
THAT WERE BURIED AT SEA?
00:15:22.52\00:15:24.75
AND, YOU KNOW, WE HATE TO THINK
ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS BUT, YOU
00:15:24.75\00:15:28.39
KNOW, AFTER THE FISH AND THE
STUFF STARTED TO PICK THROUGH
00:15:28.39\00:15:31.03
THEM AND THE CURRENTS REDEPOSIT
THEM AND HOW'S THE LORD GOING TO
00:15:31.03\00:15:34.03
FIND ALL THE PARTS TO
PERFORM A RESURRECTION?
00:15:34.03\00:15:37.43
AND THEN PEOPLE SAY - AND
THIS IS A COMMON QUESTION - I'M
00:15:37.43\00:15:39.80
SERIOUS. ASK
PASTOR ROSS - 'IF I'M
00:15:39.80\00:15:42.70
CREMATED, WILL THAT PREVENT
ME FROM BEING RESURRECTED?
00:15:42.70\00:15:47.18
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD
ABOUT PEOPLE BEING CREMATED AND
00:15:47.18\00:15:50.31
THEN THEY TAKE THEIR ASHES AND
THEY THROW THEM OUT AT SEA AND
00:15:50.31\00:15:52.55
THEY'RE JUST - PIECES OF THEM
SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLANET.
00:15:52.55\00:15:54.85
HOW WILL GOD EVER FIND THE
PARTS AND PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER
00:15:54.85\00:15:56.99
AGAIN? AS THOUGH IT'S GOING TO
00:15:56.99\00:15:59.32
BE A PROBLEM FOR GOD. IS
THE LORD GOING TO MAKE YOU
00:15:59.32\00:16:03.43
OUT OF THE OLD PARTS, OR IS
HE GOING TO MAKE A NEW CREATURE?
00:16:03.43\00:16:06.53
>>A NEW CREATURE. >>SO
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
00:16:06.53\00:16:09.03
GOD CAN SPEAK IT
BACK INTO EXISTENCE.
00:16:09.03\00:16:11.83
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM
FOR HIM. "INDEED, AS I LOOKED,
00:16:11.83\00:16:16.20
THE SINEWS AND THE FLESH CAME
UPON THEM, AND THE SKIN COVERED
00:16:16.20\00:16:19.77
THEM OVER; BUT THERE
WAS NO BREATH IN THEM."
00:16:19.77\00:16:22.28
NOW THEY'RE ALL IN PLACE,
THEY'VE BEEN REASSEMBLED -
00:16:22.28\00:16:25.48
THEY'VE GOT THE SKIN, THEY'VE
GOT THE ORGANS - WHAT WAS ADAM
00:16:25.48\00:16:29.25
LIKE WHEN GOD MADE HIM
BEFORE GOD BREATHED INTO HIM?
00:16:29.25\00:16:33.56
HE WAS A PERFECT
MAN, BUT HE WAS DEAD.
00:16:33.56\00:16:37.19
THERE WAS NO LIFE.
GOD MADE HIM, BUT UNTIL HE
00:16:37.19\00:16:40.33
BREATHED INTO
HIM, IT WAS A CORPSE.
00:16:40.33\00:16:46.07
SO HE SAID, "PROPHESY TO THE
BREATH,'" - FIRST HE PROPHESIED
00:16:46.07\00:16:49.77
TO THE BONES, NOW HE
SAYS, "PROPHESY TO THE BREATH,
00:16:49.77\00:16:53.88
PROPHESY, SON OF MAN, AND SAY TO
THE BREATH, 'THUS SAYS THE LORD
00:16:53.88\00:16:57.41
GOD: 'COME FROM THE FOUR WINDS,
O BREATH, AND BREATHE ON THESE
00:16:57.41\00:17:01.98
SLAIN, THAT THEY MAY LIVE.''' SO
I PROPHESIED AS HE COMMANDED ME
00:17:01.98\00:17:07.96
AND BREATH CAME INTO THEM, AND
THEY LIVED, AND STOOD UPON THEIR
00:17:07.96\00:17:11.93
FEET, AN
EXCEEDINGLY GREAT ARMY."
00:17:11.93\00:17:14.30
THROUGH THE PROCLAMATION
OF THE WORD, THERE IS LIFE.
00:17:14.30\00:17:19.10
AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THE
CHURCH IS TO BE A LIGHT IN THE
00:17:19.10\00:17:24.64
COMMUNITY IS BY
SPREADING THIS LIFE.
00:17:24.64\00:17:28.51
YOU KNOW, WHEN PENTECOST
HAPPENED - WE WERE READING IN
00:17:28.51\00:17:31.88
OUR DEVOTIONAL A BOOK LAST
NIGHT - TWO OF THE MOST POWERFUL
00:17:31.88\00:17:35.05
FORCES OF NATURE
ARE FIRE AND WIND.
00:17:35.05\00:17:39.19
AND RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT A LARGE
FIRE IN THE FOOTHILLS UP HERE
00:17:39.19\00:17:42.56
THAT'S BEEN ACTUALLY THREATENING
THE HOMES OF SEVERAL OF OUR
00:17:42.56\00:17:44.99
MEMBERS AND THE LAST I HEARD
- WE'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR THESE
00:17:44.99\00:17:48.56
INDIVIDUALS, AS WELL AS OTHERS
AND, SO FAR, GOD HAS PRESERVED
00:17:48.56\00:17:53.97
ALL OF THEIR HOMES - THAT I KNOW
OF - AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR
00:17:53.97\00:17:57.11
THAT. BUT THE
COMBINATION OF THE FIRE
00:17:57.11\00:18:00.04
WITH THE HOT WIND - WE'VE HAD
DAYS THAT ARE A HUNDRED DEGREES
00:18:00.04\00:18:03.41
- IT'S A POWERFUL FORCE.
AND AT PENTECOST, WHAT HAPPENED?
00:18:03.41\00:18:09.05
AT PENTECOST THEY HAD
BEEN PRAYING AND YOU HAD THE
00:18:09.05\00:18:12.39
COMBINATION OF A MIGHTY WIND
AND TONGUES OF FIRE - TWO OF THE
00:18:12.39\00:18:17.76
MOST POWERFUL FORCES OF NATURE
CAME UPON THE DISCIPLES FOR THE
00:18:17.76\00:18:21.26
PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD.
AND WAS THERE LIFE WHEN THEY
00:18:21.26\00:18:24.10
PREACHED? THOUSANDS WERE
SAVED AS THEY PREACHED THE WORD.
00:18:24.10\00:18:29.80
AND THIS IS WHAT GOD
WANTS THE CHURCH TO DO.
00:18:29.80\00:18:31.87
WE ARE IN THE WORLD - WE
ARE A COMMUNITY - AND ONE OF OUR
00:18:31.87\00:18:35.54
PRINCIPLE MISSIONS IS TO
PROCLAIM THE WORD OF JESUS.
00:18:35.54\00:18:38.31
WHY? WHY DO WE DO THAT?
00:18:38.31\00:18:42.12
JOHN 6:63 - NOW SOMEONE'S GOING
TO READ FOR ME IN JUST A MOMENT
00:18:42.12\00:18:46.89
1 TIMOTHY 6:18 -
OKAY, YOU'LL HAVE THAT SAM?
00:18:46.89\00:18:50.39
BUT IF YOU LOOK IN JOHN 6:63
JESUS SAID, "IT IS THE SPIRIT
00:18:50.39\00:18:56.26
WHO GIVES LIFE; THE
FLESH PROFITS NOTHING.
00:18:56.26\00:18:59.20
THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU
ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE."
00:18:59.20\00:19:03.71
NOW, IS A PERSON
CONVERTED BY READING THROUGH THE
00:19:03.71\00:19:06.04
ENCYCLOPEDIA? OR IF I
SHOULD STAND UP IN FRONT
00:19:06.04\00:19:09.41
OF THE CONGREGATION AND
JUST START GOING THROUGH THE
00:19:09.41\00:19:11.35
DICTIONARY - IT'S A LOT OF WORDS
- INTERESTING WORDS - DEEP WORDS
00:19:11.35\00:19:16.18
- LONG WORDS - WILL THAT CONVERT
ANYBODY? OR IF I SHOULD READ
00:19:16.18\00:19:23.22
JUST POETRY - IT MIGHT BE MOVING
BUT WHAT KIND OF WORDS ARE THEY
00:19:23.22\00:19:29.73
THAT ACTUALLY BRING
CONVERSION AND CHANGE HEARTS?
00:19:29.73\00:19:33.10
WHAT KIND OF WORDS WILL TAKE
A SKELETON AND MAKE IT A LIVING
00:19:33.10\00:19:38.07
CREATURE ALL PUT BACK
TOGETHER STANDING ON ITS FEET?
00:19:38.07\00:19:41.74
WHEN JESUS SAID 'LAZARUS COME
FORTH' HE TOOK SOMEONE THAT WAS
00:19:41.74\00:19:44.88
ALREADY DECOMPOSING AND RE-
ANIMATED HIM IN PERFECT HEALTH.
00:19:44.88\00:19:50.79
AND IT'S THE WORD OF
GOD THAT GIVES LIFE, AMEN?
00:19:50.79\00:19:54.96
"THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU
ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE."
00:19:54.96\00:19:58.73
SO WHY DOES GOD GIVE - WHAT IS
THE RESULT THAT THE LORD WANTS
00:19:58.73\00:20:03.93
TO HAVE WHEN A CHURCH
IS RAISED UP - AN ARMY?
00:20:03.93\00:20:09.80
I SHOULD PROBABLY BACK UP AND
JUST GIVE YOU THE MORE PRECISE
00:20:09.80\00:20:15.04
EXPLANATION OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING HERE IN EZEKIEL 37.
00:20:15.04\00:20:17.55
WHEN DOES EZEKIEL
PREACH? WHEN DOES HE - WHEN
00:20:17.55\00:20:21.18
DOES HE GET THAT VISION?
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ISRAEL
00:20:21.18\00:20:23.85
WHEN HE HAS THAT VISION?
WHERE WERE THE ISRAELITES?
00:20:23.85\00:20:32.16
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH
- ISRAELITES HAD BEEN CARRIED
00:20:32.16\00:20:36.13
OFF BY THE ASSYRIANS, JUDAH BY
THE BABYLONIANS - IT LOOKED LIKE
00:20:36.13\00:20:39.23
THEY WERE DEAD AS A NATION.
00:20:39.23\00:20:41.84
IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS NO HOPE
AND GOD SAID, 'I WILL BRING YOU
00:20:41.84\00:20:45.94
BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN
AND RAISE YOU UP AND MAKE YOU AN
00:20:45.94\00:20:48.44
EXCEEDING GREAT ARMY.' AND
SO GOD WAS BASICALLY - IT WAS A
00:20:48.44\00:20:52.85
PROMISE TO ISRAEL, FOR
ONE THING, THAT THEY WOULD BE
00:20:52.85\00:20:55.02
BROUGHT BACK AS A NATION,
WHICH GOD KEPT THAT PROMISE.
00:20:55.02\00:20:57.85
BUT BEYOND THAT, IT'S A MESSAGE
TO THE CHURCH THAT THROUGH THE
00:20:57.85\00:21:01.69
PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD, THAT
HE BRINGS US TO LIFE AND WE ARE
00:21:01.69\00:21:06.93
SOLDIERS FOR THE LORD. WE
ARE TO GO FIGHT HIS BATTLES
00:21:06.93\00:21:09.86
AND WE ARE TO BRING
FORTH THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT.
00:21:09.86\00:21:14.47
AND WHAT ARE THESE
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT?
00:21:14.47\00:21:16.67
LOOK IN EPHESIANS 2 - WHY
DOES GOD BRING US TO LIFE?
00:21:16.67\00:21:20.01
EPHESIANS 2:10, "FOR WE ARE HIS
WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST
00:21:20.01\00:21:25.55
JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, WHICH
GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND THAT WE
00:21:25.55\00:21:29.72
SHOULD WALK IN THEM."
AND SO, YOU KNOW, OUR LESSON
00:21:29.72\00:21:32.49
TODAY IS TALKING ABOUT JUSTICE
AND MERCY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:21:32.49\00:21:35.02
- WE ARE TO BE DOING
WORKS OF JUSTICE AND MERCY.
00:21:35.02\00:21:38.23
I'LL READ TO YOU TITUS 2, VERSES
6 AND 7 AND 14, "LIKEWISE,
00:21:38.23\00:21:45.50
EXHORTING THE YOUNG MEN TO
BE SOBER-MINDED, IN ALL THINGS
00:21:45.50\00:21:49.07
SHOWING YOURSELF TO BE A PATTERN
OF GOOD WORKS...WHO GAVE HIMSELF
00:21:49.07\00:21:53.58
FOR US, THAT HE MIGHT REDEEM
US FROM EVERY LAWLESS DEED AND
00:21:53.58\00:21:56.51
PURIFY FOR HIMSELF HIS OWN
SPECIAL PEOPLE, ZEALOUS FOR GOOD
00:21:56.51\00:22:01.38
WORKS." NOW, WHEN
YOU, IN THE CHRISTIAN
00:22:01.38\00:22:05.62
CHURCH TODAY, TALK ABOUT
WORKS, DOES THAT CONJURE UP GOOD
00:22:05.62\00:22:08.32
FEELINGS OR DO
SOME PEOPLE RESENT THAT?
00:22:08.32\00:22:11.73
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE RESENT THE
IDEA THAT THE CHURCH IS SUPPOSED
00:22:11.73\00:22:15.40
TO DO GOOD WORKS? WHAT
IS BAD ABOUT GOOD WORKS?
00:22:15.40\00:22:22.84
IS IT - WELL, YOU COULD BOAST -
THE DANGER OF GOOD WORKS IS THAT
00:22:22.84\00:22:28.28
A PERSON MIGHT THINK
YOU'RE SAVED BY THEM.
00:22:28.28\00:22:31.31
BUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
CHRISTIANS DOING GOOD WORKS.
00:22:31.31\00:22:35.02
WHAT'S THE
ALTERNATIVE TO GOOD WORKS?
00:22:35.02\00:22:36.79
>>BAD WORKS. >>BAD
WORKS? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE
00:22:36.79\00:22:38.32
SUPPOSED TO DO? OF COURSE NOT.
00:22:38.32\00:22:40.62
AND SO, WHILE IT IS TRUE WE ARE
NOT SAVED BY GOOD WORKS, WE ARE
00:22:40.62\00:22:45.69
SAVED FOR GOOD WORKS.
DIDN'T WE JUST READ THAT?
00:22:45.69\00:22:48.93
MATTER OF FACT, JESUS SAID YOU
CAN TELL WHETHER OR NOT A PERSON
00:22:48.93\00:22:51.40
IS SAVED BY WHAT?
THEIR PROFESSION OR THEIR -
00:22:51.40\00:22:54.77
YOU'LL KNOW THEM
BY THEIR - >>FRUITS.
00:22:54.77\00:22:56.57
>>FRUITS. JESUS
SAYS, IN MATTHEW 7:16 - GO
00:22:56.57\00:23:00.41
AHEAD, READ IN 1 TIMOTHY 6:18.
>>"LET THEM DO GOOD THAT THEY
00:23:00.41\00:23:05.18
MAY BE RICH IN GOOD WORKS: READY
TO GIVE, WILLING TO SERVE."
00:23:05.18\00:23:09.92
>>AND SO THE CHURCH IN THE
COMMUNITY IS SUPPOSED TO BE
00:23:09.92\00:23:14.19
DOING THINGS TO MINISTER.
AND I SAID THIS LAST WEEK AND IT
00:23:14.19\00:23:19.76
MAY COME UP IN A FUTURE LESSON,
BUT YOU CAN'T IMPROVE ON THAT
00:23:19.76\00:23:22.76
PARABLE JESUS GIVES WHERE HE
SAYS, 'IN THE GREAT JUDGMENT DAY
00:23:22.76\00:23:26.17
I WILL SAY TO THOSE ON MY
RIGHT HAND, 'WELL DONE, GOOD
00:23:26.17\00:23:29.50
AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.
ENTER INTO THE JOY OF THE LORD.'
00:23:29.50\00:23:31.81
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 25:31 - 'FOR I
WAS HUNGRY AND YOU GAVE ME FOOD.
00:23:31.81\00:23:37.38
I WAS THIRSTY AND
YOU GAVE ME A DRINK.
00:23:37.38\00:23:39.05
I WAS NAKED AND YOU CLOTHED ME.
I WAS SICK AND YOU VISITED ME.
00:23:39.05\00:23:42.65
I WAS A STRANGER AND YOU TOOK
ME IN.' - AND I THINK I LEFT ONE
00:23:42.65\00:23:46.76
OUT. >>PRISON.
00:23:46.76\00:23:49.09
>>'I WAS IN PRISON' - THANK YOU
- 'AND YOU CAME TO ME' - THERE'S
00:23:49.09\00:23:51.53
SIX THINGS THAT
ARE MENTIONED THERE.
00:23:51.53\00:23:53.83
THESE ARE ALL GOOD WORKS.
NOW THEY'RE NOT DOING IT TO BE
00:23:53.83\00:23:57.37
SAVED, BECAUSE WHEN JESUS SAYS
THIS THEY SAID, 'LORD, WHEN DID
00:23:57.37\00:24:00.57
WE SEE YOU AND DO THESE THINGS?'
HE SAID, 'IN AS MUCH AS YOU'VE
00:24:00.57\00:24:03.77
DONE IT TO THE LEAST OF THESE,
YOU DID IT TO ME.' THE REDEEMED
00:24:03.77\00:24:08.41
CARE ABOUT THE LEAST
OF THESE AND THEY'RE DOING
00:24:08.41\00:24:12.55
GOOD THINGS FOR THEM. AND
SO, THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS
00:24:12.55\00:24:14.88
THAT THE CHURCH IS
EFFECTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:24:14.88\00:24:18.22
ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO JUMP
FROM EZEKIEL 36 - I'M SORRY, 37
00:24:18.22\00:24:23.29
- TO EZEKIEL 47 - ONE OF THE
LAST CHAPTERS IN THE BOOK - AND
00:24:23.29\00:24:27.50
HERE HE'S GOT ANOTHER PROPHECY
AND EZEKIEL'S PROPHECY -
00:24:27.50\00:24:30.43
EZEKIEL, OF COURSE WAS A PRIEST
AND HE IS IN BABYLON WHEN HE'S
00:24:30.43\00:24:33.34
HAVING HIS VISIONS, AND HE'S
TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE WORK OF
00:24:33.34\00:24:36.97
THE CHURCH SHOULD BE.
NOW, GOD INTENDED FOR THE
00:24:36.97\00:24:42.01
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO BE A
NATION OF KINGS AND PRIESTS.
00:24:42.01\00:24:46.28
THE BIBLE SAYS YOU
ARE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD.
00:24:46.28\00:24:49.15
WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE
INVOLVED IN MINISTRY IN SOME
00:24:49.15\00:24:52.75
CAPACITY AND USING THE GIFTS
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US SO THE
00:24:52.75\00:24:55.92
LORD MIGHT LET HIS
BLESSING COME OUT OF US.
00:24:55.92\00:25:00.23
GOD ORIGINALLY PLACED THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN THEIR OWN
00:25:00.23\00:25:04.97
LAND, IN A PLACE OF -
IT'S A BRIDGE OF CONTINENTS.
00:25:04.97\00:25:09.67
IT WAS STRATEGICALLY -
THE PROMISED LAND IS A VERY
00:25:09.67\00:25:12.04
STRATEGIC PIECE OF REAL ESTATE.
DOES A DAY GO BY WHEN YOU DON'T
00:25:12.04\00:25:15.38
HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT
THE MIDDLE EAST IN THE NEWS?
00:25:15.38\00:25:18.35
ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT ISRAEL
IS, YOU KNOW, LIKE THIS - IT'S
00:25:18.35\00:25:21.35
THIS LITTLE COUNTRY - CALIFORNIA
IS MUCH BIGGER THAN ISRAEL, BUT
00:25:21.35\00:25:26.15
IT'S IN THE NEWS
EVERY DAY, PRACTICALLY.
00:25:26.15\00:25:28.76
IT'S A VERY STRATEGIC PLACE.
SO HE PUT THEM IN THEIR OWN LAND
00:25:28.76\00:25:33.33
SO THAT PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH,
THEY COULD WITNESS TO THEM AND
00:25:33.33\00:25:36.87
THEY WOULD BE THERE AT A PLACE
OF VISIBILITY TO SHARE THE LIGHT
00:25:36.87\00:25:40.77
WITH THE NATIONS AROUND THEM.
WHEN THEY DISOBEYED, GOD SAID,
00:25:40.77\00:25:44.01
'OKAY, WE'RE GOING
TO DO IT DIFFERENTLY.
00:25:44.01\00:25:45.87
IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE
HEATHEN COME TO YOU, I AM GOING
00:25:45.87\00:25:50.05
TO PLACE YOU IN THE HEATHEN LAND
AND LET YOU BE A WITNESS THERE.
00:25:50.05\00:25:53.78
GOD'S ORIGINAL
PLAN WAS QUEEN OF SHEBA.
00:25:53.78\00:25:57.69
SOLOMON - GLORIOUS KINGDOM -
GODLY KINGDOM - OTHER NATIONS
00:25:57.69\00:26:01.66
CAME TO THEM TO LEARN OF THEIR
GOD. BUT, IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
00:26:01.66\00:26:05.83
DO IT THAT WAY, WE'RE GOING
TO DO SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND
00:26:05.83\00:26:07.83
ABEDNEGO.' DO YOU REALIZE
THAT ON THE PLAIN OF DURA, WHEN
00:26:07.83\00:26:14.54
EVERYONE BOWED DOWN EXCEPT
SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO
00:26:14.54\00:26:17.17
AND GOD SAVED THEM
FROM THE FIERY FURNACE?
00:26:17.17\00:26:19.51
THE LORD DID, THROUGH THOSE
THREE HEBREWS THAT WERE BRAVE,
00:26:19.51\00:26:24.11
WHAT HE HAD BEEN TRYING
TO DO THROUGH THE NATION.
00:26:24.11\00:26:26.28
BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITHFULNESS
AND, LATER, DANIEL IN THE LION'S
00:26:26.28\00:26:28.92
DEN, THE KING OF PERSIA
AND THE KING OF BABYLON MAKE AN
00:26:28.92\00:26:33.05
INTERNATIONAL
PROCLAMATION ABOUT JEHOVAH.
00:26:33.05\00:26:37.26
SO THEY WERE BEING
WITNESSES IN A FOREIGN LAND.
00:26:37.26\00:26:41.80
HE SAID, 'LOOK, IF YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO LET ME USE YOU TO BE MY
00:26:41.80\00:26:44.50
WITNESSES BY PEOPLE COMING TO
YOU, THEN I AM GOING TO PUT YOU
00:26:44.50\00:26:48.34
WHERE YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY
PAGANS AND YOU'LL WITNESS THERE.
00:26:48.34\00:26:52.91
IT'LL BE TOUGH BECAUSE YOU'LL BE
- YOU WON'T HAVE YOUR OWN GOD,
00:26:52.91\00:26:55.54
YOU'LL BE SURROUNDED BY PAGAN
GODS, BUT I'LL HAVE YOU WITNESS
00:26:55.54\00:26:58.58
THERE.' AND SO, EZEKIEL, THEN
HE'S TALKING ABOUT HOW WHEREVER
00:26:58.58\00:27:03.15
WE GO, WE'RE TO BE A
RIVER OF POSITIVE INFLUENCE.
00:27:03.15\00:27:07.02
GO TO EZEKIEL 47, VERSE 1 AND IT
SAYS, "THEN HE BROUGHT ME BACK
00:27:07.02\00:27:12.43
TO THE DOOR OF THE TEMPLE; AND
THERE WAS WATER, FLOWING FROM
00:27:12.43\00:27:15.80
UNDER THE THRESHOLD OF THE
TEMPLE TOWARD THE EAST," - THIS
00:27:15.80\00:27:18.77
COMES UP IN THE LESSON LATER
- "FOR THE FRONT OF THE TEMPLE
00:27:18.77\00:27:23.27
FACED EAST; THE WATER WAS
FLOWING FROM UNDER THE RIGHT
00:27:23.27\00:27:25.51
SIDE OF THE
TEMPLE, SOUTH OF THE ALTAR.
00:27:25.51\00:27:27.61
HE BROUGHT ME OUT BY WAY OF THE
NORTH GATE, AND LED ME AROUND ON
00:27:27.61\00:27:30.95
THE OUTSIDE TO THE OUTER GATEWAY
THAT FACES EAST; AND THERE WAS
00:27:30.95\00:27:34.62
WATER, RUNNING OUT ON THE RIGHT
SIDE. AND WHEN THE MAN WENT OUT
00:27:34.62\00:27:38.15
TO THE EAST WITH THE LINE IN HIS
HAND, HE MEASURED ONE THOUSAND
00:27:38.15\00:27:41.82
CUBITS, AND HE BROUGHT ME
THROUGH THE WATERS; THE WATER
00:27:41.82\00:27:44.46
CAME UP TO MY ANKLES.
AGAIN HE MEASURED ONE THOUSAND
00:27:44.46\00:27:47.50
AND BROUGHT ME
THROUGH THE WATERS; THE WATER
00:27:47.50\00:27:49.73
CAME UP TO MY KNEES.
AGAIN HE MEASURED ONE THOUSAND
00:27:49.73\00:27:52.67
AND BROUGHT ME THROUGH;
THE WATER CAME UP TO MY WAIST.
00:27:52.67\00:27:56.04
AGAIN HE MEASURED ONE THOUSAND,
AND IT WAS A RIVER THAT I COULD
00:27:56.04\00:27:59.84
NOT CROSS; FOR THE WATER WAS TOO
DEEP, WATER IN WHICH ONE MUST
00:27:59.84\00:28:03.31
SWIM, A RIVER THAT
COULD NOT BE CROSSED.
00:28:03.31\00:28:07.02
HE SAID TO ME, 'SON OF
MAN, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?'
00:28:07.02\00:28:09.48
THEN HE BROUGHT ME AND RETURNED
ME TO THE BANK OF THE RIVER.
00:28:09.48\00:28:12.62
WHEN I RETURNED, THERE, ALONG
THE BANK OF THE RIVER, WERE VERY
00:28:12.62\00:28:15.82
MANY TREES ON ONE
SIDE AND THE OTHER."
00:28:15.82\00:28:18.26
I WANT TO PAUSE THERE
BEFORE I GET TO THE TREES.
00:28:18.26\00:28:22.40
HAVE YOU EVER GONE
AND CROSSED A RIVER?
00:28:22.40\00:28:24.87
FIRST OF ALL, LET ME JUST
SAY THIS: WHEN I WAS A BABY
00:28:24.87\00:28:28.40
CHRISTIAN, I'D READ IN THE
BIBLE ABOUT THE JORDAN RIVER.
00:28:28.40\00:28:31.21
I'D NEVER BEEN
TO THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:28:31.21\00:28:32.67
YOU ONLY HEAR ABOUT IT AND
THE JORDAN RIVER SEEMS LIKE, YOU
00:28:32.67\00:28:35.84
KNOW, YOU'VE HEARD OF THE
AMAZON AND THE MISSOURI AND THE
00:28:35.84\00:28:39.01
MISSISSIPPI AND THE NILE AND THE
YANGTZE AND THESE BIG RIVERS OF
00:28:39.01\00:28:42.68
THE WORLD - THE DANUBE -
AND IT'S THE JORDAN - BIBLICAL -
00:28:42.68\00:28:46.79
EPIC RIVER - JOHN THE BAPTIST
BAPTIZED THERE - RIVER - PARTED
00:28:46.79\00:28:49.69
- CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WENT ACROSS THE JORDAN RIVER.
00:28:49.69\00:28:52.19
AND I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WHEN
I WENT TO ISRAEL AND I SAW THE
00:28:52.19\00:28:56.67
JORDON RIVER. WE'VE
GOT A CREEK IN COVELO
00:28:56.67\00:28:59.50
AS BIG AS THE JORDAN RIVER.
YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT IT
00:28:59.50\00:29:02.60
WAS INTERESTING WHAT
PEOPLE CALL LAKES AND WHAT
00:29:02.60\00:29:05.81
PEOPLE CALL PONDS.
AND WE WERE VISITING SOME
00:29:05.81\00:29:12.25
FRIENDS AND THEY TALKED ABOUT
A LAKE AND I THOUGHT, 'THAT'S
00:29:12.25\00:29:20.46
NOT A LAKE, I CAN
THROW A ROCK ACROSS IT.
00:29:20.46\00:29:22.49
THAT'S A POND.' AND THE
GREAT LAKES, WHICH ARE SEAS, ARE
00:29:22.49\00:29:30.27
CALLED LAKES. AND YOU
GO TO THE SEA OF GALILEE
00:29:30.27\00:29:33.47
AND YOU CAN SEE
ACROSS IT - IT'S A LAKE.
00:29:33.47\00:29:35.70
WE'VE GOT LAKE TAHOE AND THE SEA
OF GALILEE - IT'S NOT THAT BIG.
00:29:35.70\00:29:39.61
BUT - AND THEN YOU SEE, YOU
KNOW, YOU GO TO THE GREAT LAKES
00:29:39.61\00:29:42.91
AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE ACROSS
IT. IT'S JUST INTERESTING.
00:29:42.91\00:29:45.05
AND SOME PEOPLE CALL - THE
JORDAN RIVER IS CALLED 'THE
00:29:45.05\00:29:47.75
RIVER' - IT'S JUST A LONG CREEK
BECAUSE IT GOES A LONG WAYS, BUT
00:29:47.75\00:29:54.92
SUMMERTIME YOU
CAN WADE ACROSS IT.
00:29:54.92\00:29:59.23
BUT HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A
RIVER WHERE YOU GO A THOUSAND -
00:29:59.23\00:30:02.00
HE TALKS ABOUT THIS HERE - YOU
GO OUT, WHAT IS IT - A THOUSAND
00:30:02.00\00:30:06.00
CUBITS? - IT CAME
UP TO MY ANKLES - A
00:30:06.00\00:30:11.37
THOUSAND CUBITS - THAT'S
18 INCHES - HOW LONG IS THAT?
00:30:11.37\00:30:13.81
ONE THOUSAND CUBITS - THAT'S
LIKE ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
00:30:13.81\00:30:19.05
FEET. IS THAT RIGHT? AND
YOU GO THAT FAR OUT INTO A
00:30:19.05\00:30:24.49
RIVER - THAT CROSSES THE JORDAN
RIGHT THERE, AND HE'S ONLY
00:30:24.49\00:30:27.96
GOT WATER UP TO HIS ANKLES.
THEN HE GOES OUT ANOTHER ONE
00:30:27.96\00:30:30.83
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
FEET AND IT'S UP TO HIS KNEES.
00:30:30.83\00:30:34.66
HE GOES OUT ANOTHER ONE THOUSAND
EIGHT HUNDRED FEET - ARE YOU
00:30:34.66\00:30:37.23
BEGINNING TO GET AN IDEA
THAT THIS RIVER FLOWING OUT FROM
00:30:37.23\00:30:39.40
UNDER THE TEMPLE
MUST BE A BIG RIVER?
00:30:39.40\00:30:42.17
AND THEN HE GOES OUT ANOTHER -
AND FINALLY - AND HE DOESN'T SAY
00:30:42.17\00:30:46.27
HOW MUCH FARTHER TIL YOU GET
TO THE OTHER SIDE AND IT'S GOING
00:30:46.27\00:30:48.81
LIKE THIS ON ONE SIDE AND THEN
YOU GET WHERE IT'S FINALLY THAT
00:30:48.81\00:30:52.41
DEEP - WHERE IT FLOWS AND YOU
HAVE TO SWIM, THEN YOU FIGURE IT
00:30:52.41\00:30:55.62
GOES THE SAME
DISTANCE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
00:30:55.62\00:30:57.82
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
USUALLY RIVERS, YOU KNOW,
00:30:57.82\00:31:00.59
THEY'VE GOT SIMILAR BANKS.
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE RIVER
00:31:00.59\00:31:03.69
THAT FLOWS FROM THE THRONE OF
GOD THAT IRRIGATES THE WORLD IN
00:31:03.69\00:31:08.33
THE SECOND COMING AND THEN
IT TELLS YOU THAT THE TREE OF
00:31:08.33\00:31:10.77
LIFE IS ON EITHER SIDE
OF IT. THAT'S A BIG TREE.
00:31:10.77\00:31:14.04
IT'S A BIG
RIVER. IT'S A BIG TREE.
00:31:14.04\00:31:17.57
THE RIVER - THE LONGEST RIVER
- I THINK THE JURY IS IN - THE
00:31:17.57\00:31:21.48
LONGEST RIVER IN
THE WORLD IS THE NILE.
00:31:21.48\00:31:23.31
AMAZON KEEPS ARGUING SAYING,
'NO, IT'S US.' BUT THE EXPERTS
00:31:23.31\00:31:26.55
SAY THE NILE IS A LITTLE LONGER,
BUT THE AMAZON, BY FAR, PUTS
00:31:26.55\00:31:31.79
MORE WATER OUT INTO THE OCEAN,
AS FAR AS VOLUME, THAN THE OTHER
00:31:31.79\00:31:38.26
FOUR LARGEST RIVERS COMBINED.
THE AMAZON IS A WATERSHED FOR AN
00:31:38.26\00:31:43.26
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF AREA, BUT THE
RIVER THAT IRRIGATES THE WORLD
00:31:43.26\00:31:49.47
FROM THE THRONE OF GOD
IS BIGGER THAN ALL OF THAT.
00:31:49.47\00:31:53.48
I MEAN, AND IT'S CLEAN.
AND IT'S LIFE-GIVING WATER
00:31:53.48\00:31:57.85
BECAUSE IT SAYS
WHEREVER IT GOES, THINGS LIVE.
00:31:57.85\00:31:59.85
THAT WHERE - YOU GET DOWN HERE
TO VERSE 6 - "HE SAID TO ME,
00:31:59.85\00:32:04.42
'SON OF MAN,
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?'
00:32:04.42\00:32:06.42
THEN HE BROUGHT ME AND RETURNED
ME TO THE BANK OF THE RIVER.
00:32:06.42\00:32:09.69
WHEN I RETURNED, THERE, ALONG
THE BANK OF THE RIVER, WERE VERY
00:32:09.69\00:32:12.23
MANY TREES ON ONE
SIDE AND THE OTHER.
00:32:12.23\00:32:14.36
THEN HE SAID TO ME: 'THIS WATER
FLOWS TOWARD THE EASTERN REGION,
00:32:14.36\00:32:17.60
GOES DOWN INTO THE
VALLEY, AND ENTERS THE SEA."
00:32:17.60\00:32:20.24
WHAT SEA IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
WATER COMING FROM THE TEMPLE -
00:32:20.24\00:32:23.97
THE THRONE - IN JERUSALEM, WOULD
GO DOWN INTO THE KIDRON VALLEY,
00:32:23.97\00:32:27.74
IT WOULD INTERSECT
WITH THE JORDAN AND RUN OUT
00:32:27.74\00:32:31.21
INTO THE DEAD SEA.
NOW HOW MUCH IS ALIVE
00:32:31.21\00:32:33.82
IN THE DEAD SEA?
TRICK QUESTION. NOTHING.
00:32:33.82\00:32:40.29
AND IT SAYS THAT THIS WATER
FLOWS TOWARD THE EASTERN REGION
00:32:40.29\00:32:45.56
AND WHEN IT REACHES THE
SEAS, IT'S WATERS ARE HEALED.
00:32:45.56\00:32:50.07
THE WATERS OF THE DEAD SEA
COMING BACK TO LIFE WAS A GREAT
00:32:50.07\00:32:53.34
MIRACLE FOR THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING
00:32:53.34\00:32:55.57
THERE. WHEN YOU - WHEN YOU HAD
A LAKE AND YOU REALIZE THE DEAD
00:32:55.57\00:33:00.31
SEA - IT'S WATER LEVEL IS
GOING DOWN RIGHT NOW, THEY SAY.
00:33:00.31\00:33:04.88
IT'S GOING DOWN
LIKE 18 INCHES A YEAR.
00:33:04.88\00:33:06.31
IT'S REALLY DROPPING FAST
AND THERE'S A CRISIS BECAUSE THE
00:33:06.31\00:33:10.12
MAIN SOURCE OF WATER FOR THE
DEAD SEA IS THE JORDAN RIVER AND
00:33:10.12\00:33:13.96
THE JORDAN RIVER IS JUST BEING
SUCKED UP BY IRRIGATION FROM
00:33:13.96\00:33:18.46
ISRAEL AND PALESTINE BEFORE
IT'S EVEN GETTING THERE NOW AND
00:33:18.46\00:33:23.47
THEY'RE GOING TO NEED SOME VERY,
VERY WET YEARS TO EVER BRING IT
00:33:23.47\00:33:26.43
BACK TO WHERE IT USED TO BE, BUT
BY THE TIME OF JESUS - THEY KNOW
00:33:26.43\00:33:29.64
FROM THE COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE BUILT ON THE OUTSKIRTS - THE
00:33:29.64\00:33:32.71
WATER - THE DEAD SEA, IT
WAS MUCH BIGGER AND THEY ALWAYS
00:33:32.71\00:33:36.88
WISHED, IF IT WASN'T
CONTAMINATED WITH SALT - THINK
00:33:36.88\00:33:40.42
OF ALL THE FISH AND THE LIFE
YOU'D BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THAT
00:33:40.42\00:33:42.85
SEA - ALL OF THE RESOURCES
AND ALL OF THE TREES YOU COULD
00:33:42.85\00:33:46.76
IRRIGATE, AND ALL THE CROPS YOU
COULD GROW, EXCEPT THE WATER WAS
00:33:46.76\00:33:49.46
BAD. NEXT YOU GO -
LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SECTION.
00:33:49.46\00:33:57.43
IT TALKS ABOUT ELISHA HEALING
WATERS. SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
00:33:57.43\00:34:01.20
FOR ME IN A MINUTE,
GENESIS 18:32, OKAY?
00:34:01.20\00:34:05.74
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER
THE STORY THAT WHEN ELISHA WAS
00:34:05.74\00:34:08.91
APPROACHED BY SOME OF HIS SONS
OF THE PROPHETS THAT WERE LIVING
00:34:08.91\00:34:12.48
NEAR JERICHO AND THEY SAID,
'ELISHA, MASTER, WE CAN'T DO
00:34:12.48\00:34:17.15
ANYTHING HERE BECAUSE IT'S A
GREAT LOCATION - THERE'S PALM
00:34:17.15\00:34:19.92
TREES - BUT THE WATER FROM THIS
SPRING - A GREAT SPRING - BUT IT
00:34:19.92\00:34:23.53
STINKS.' I WAS READING SOME
VERY TRAGIC STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE
00:34:23.53\00:34:28.76
THAT WERE CROSSING
NEVADA DURING THE GOLD RUSH.
00:34:28.76\00:34:33.84
ALL THESE PILGRIMS THAT WERE
COMING - THE WAGON TRAINS - AND
00:34:33.84\00:34:38.47
SOME OF THEM WROTE IN THEIR
DIARY - YOU KNOW, EVERYONE'S
00:34:38.47\00:34:40.24
DYING OF THIRST - AND THE DONNER
PARTY, FOR ONE THING, HAD A VERY
00:34:40.24\00:34:44.71
HARD TIME BEFORE THEY EVER
GOT STUCK AT DONNER PASS BECAUSE
00:34:44.71\00:34:48.08
THEY TRIED TO DEVELOP A NEW
TRAIL ACROSS NEVADA AND EVERYONE
00:34:48.08\00:34:51.55
WAS SO THIRSTY AND THEY CAME TO
THIS WATER AND IT COULD NOT BE
00:34:51.55\00:34:54.19
DRUNK - AN ABUNDANT
SPRING BUT IT WAS UNDRINKABLE.
00:34:54.19\00:34:57.59
THE WATERS WERE
SULPHUR WATERS - IT WAS BITTER.
00:34:57.59\00:34:59.76
MAYBE YOU COULD DRINK IT BUT IT
WAS REALLY BAD AND THEY CALLED
00:34:59.76\00:35:03.20
IT POISONED. AND SO
HERE THEY COME TO ELISHA
00:35:03.20\00:35:05.37
- THEY SAY, 'THE CITY IS
PLEASANT AS MY LORD SEES, BUT
00:35:05.37\00:35:08.77
THE WATER IS BAD AND
THE GROUND IS BARREN.
00:35:08.77\00:35:11.21
YOU CAN'T GROW ANYTHING OUT OF
IT BECAUSE THE WATER IS SO BAD.'
00:35:11.21\00:35:13.98
AND ELISHA SAID, 'BRING ME A
NEW BOWL AND PUT SALT IN IT.' SO
00:35:13.98\00:35:18.61
THEY BROUGHT HIM THIS NEW
VESSEL, HE PUT - THEY PUT SALT
00:35:18.61\00:35:21.22
IN IT - AND HE WENT OUT
TO THE SOURCE - THE SPRING OF
00:35:21.22\00:35:24.29
WATER - AND HE CAST THE SALT
IN THERE AND HE SAID, 'THUS SAYS
00:35:24.29\00:35:27.62
THE LORD: 'I
HAVE HEALED THE WATER.
00:35:27.62\00:35:30.16
FROM THERE THERE SHALL BE NO
MORE DEATH OR BARRENNESS.' SO
00:35:30.16\00:35:34.03
THE WATER REMAINS HEALED TO THIS
DAY, ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF
00:35:34.03\00:35:37.50
ELISHA, WHICH HE SPOKE.' NOW DO
YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO JERICHO
00:35:37.50\00:35:40.67
TODAY - I'VE BEEN THERE.
00:35:40.67\00:35:42.37
I WAS THERE WITH BONNIE AND ED
MANY YEARS AGO WHEN THE HERITAGE
00:35:42.37\00:35:45.84
SINGERS WENT AND WE WENT TO THE
SPRING OF ELISHA AND YOU COULD
00:35:45.84\00:35:50.08
GO RIGHT TO WHERE YOU SEE THIS
WATER RUNNING OUT OF THE GROUND
00:35:50.08\00:35:52.75
- OUT OF THIS ROCK SPRING -
AND THEY SAY, 'THIS IS THE SAME
00:35:52.75\00:35:54.78
SPRING THAT DATES BACK
OVER 500 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST.
00:35:54.78\00:35:59.25
AND IT WAS ONCE UNDRINKABLE AND
ELISHA PERFORMED A MIRACLE AND
00:35:59.25\00:36:03.12
THEY SAID, 'REACH DOWN.' AND YOU
COULD REACH DOWN RIGHT THEN AND
00:36:03.12\00:36:05.19
SCOOP IT UP AND DRINK
IT AND IT'S SWEET WATER.
00:36:05.19\00:36:07.96
AND HE PERFORMED THIS MIRACLE
AND IT IRRIGATES, TO A GREAT
00:36:07.96\00:36:10.90
EXTENT, THE CITY OF
JERICHO TO THIS VERY DAY.
00:36:10.90\00:36:14.24
SO THE BIBLE SAYS - MATTHEW
5:13 - "YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE
00:36:14.24\00:36:19.04
EARTH; BUT IF THE SALT LOSES
ITS FLAVOR, HOW SHALL IT BE
00:36:19.04\00:36:22.84
SEASONED? IT IS
THEN GOOD FOR NOTHING BUT
00:36:22.84\00:36:25.88
TO BE THROWN OUT AND
TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT BY MEN."
00:36:25.88\00:36:30.05
NOW THEY ESTIMATE THERE'S ABOUT
14,000 DIFFERENT USES FOR SALT -
00:36:30.05\00:36:33.72
SODIUM CHLORIDE. THE WORD SALT
APPEARS 45 TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
00:36:33.72\00:36:38.03
IT'S USED FOR PRESERVING.
IT WAS USED FOR SEASONING.
00:36:38.03\00:36:41.23
'IS THERE ANY FLAVOR
IN THE WHITE OF AN EGG?'
00:36:41.23\00:36:43.40
JOB ASKS. AND SO, SALT WAS
00:36:43.40\00:36:47.40
NEEDED FOR LIFE.
THEY WOULD IMPORT SALT.
00:36:47.40\00:36:50.57
MATTER OF FACT, THERE WAS ONE
TIME WHEN ROME WAS RULING THE
00:36:50.57\00:36:52.74
WORLD THAT THE VALUE OF SALT
WAS ALMOST EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF
00:36:52.74\00:36:55.98
GOLD AND SOLDIERS
WERE PAID IN SALT.
00:36:55.98\00:36:59.55
YOU EVER HEAR SOMEONE
SAY, 'HE'S NOT WORTH HIS SALT'?
00:36:59.55\00:37:02.92
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY USED TO PAY
SOLDIERS IN SALT AND THEY'D SAY
00:37:02.92\00:37:06.86
HE WASN'T WORTH
WHAT YOU PAY HIM.
00:37:06.86\00:37:08.89
WHERE DO YOU GET
THE WORD 'SALARY'?
00:37:08.89\00:37:11.76
WHAT DOES SALINE MEAN? A
SALARY WAS WHEN A PERSON WAS
00:37:11.76\00:37:15.60
PAID IN SALT IT
MEANT YOUR PAYDAY, RIGHT?
00:37:15.60\00:37:20.37
AND SO HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU
OPENED YOUR ENVELOPE AND SALT
00:37:20.37\00:37:22.74
CAME OUT INSTEAD
OF YOUR PAYCHECK?
00:37:22.74\00:37:25.17
IT'S PRETTY COMMON TODAY.
BUT IT MEANT LIFE BACK THEN.
00:37:25.17\00:37:30.55
AND SO WHEN HE PUT THIS SALT IN
THERE AND JESUS, OF COURSE USED
00:37:30.55\00:37:33.18
THAT SAME ILLUSTRATION. READ
FOR US, PLEASE GENESIS 18:32.
00:37:33.18\00:37:38.45
>>"...'SUPPOSE TEN SHOULD
BE FOUND THERE?' AND HE SAID,
00:37:38.45\00:37:42.06
'I WILL NOT DESTROY
IT FOR THE SAKE OF TEN.'"
00:37:42.06\00:37:45.93
>>YOU REMEMBER WHEN GOD SAID,
'I'M GOING TO DESTROY SODOM
00:37:45.93\00:37:48.13
BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A WICKED
CITY'? AND ABRAHAM BEGAN TO
00:37:48.13\00:37:51.90
INTERCEDE - HE SAID, 'OH LORD,
SHALL ALL THE - SHALL THE LORD
00:37:51.90\00:37:55.40
OF ALL THE EARTH NOT DO WHAT IS
RIGHT?' AND HE SAID, 'IF THERE
00:37:55.40\00:37:59.67
ARE FIFTY RIGHTEOUS IN THIS CITY
WILL YOU STILL DESTROY IT FOR
00:37:59.67\00:38:02.14
FIFTY?' AND GOD SAID, 'NO,
IF THERE'S FIFTY PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:38:02.14\00:38:04.38
STILL BEING AN INFLUENCE
FOR GOOD - EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE
00:38:04.38\00:38:06.58
WICKED, THERE'S HOPE.' AND HE
SAID, 'WHAT ABOUT FORTY-FIVE?'
00:38:06.58\00:38:09.75
'I WON'T DESTROY IT FOR
FORTY-FIVE.' 'HOW ABOUT FORTY?'
00:38:09.75\00:38:12.95
'I WON'T DESTROY IT FOR FORTY.'
'WHAT ABOUT THIRTY' AND HE SAID,
00:38:12.95\00:38:17.16
'I WON'T DESTROY IT.' AND YOU
THINK GOD WOULD SAY, 'ABRAHAM,
00:38:17.16\00:38:18.99
LEAVE ME ALONE.' BUT GOD ENJOYED
ABRAHAM INTERCEDING BECAUSE
00:38:18.99\00:38:24.47
ABRAHAM HAD A HEART
TO SEE PEOPLE SAVED.
00:38:24.47\00:38:27.17
DO YOU KNOW, ABRAHAM HAD
ONCE RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE THE
00:38:27.17\00:38:29.20
PEOPLE OF SODOM? ISN'T THAT
RIGHT? AND HE SAID, 'HOW ABOUT
00:38:29.20\00:38:34.51
TWENTY?' 'HOW ABOUT TEN?'
GOD SAID, 'IF THERE ARE TEN
00:38:34.51\00:38:38.68
THERE I WILL
SPARE THE WHOLE CITY.
00:38:38.68\00:38:40.18
IF THERE'S TEN PEOPLE THERE
THAT ARE BEING SALT AND LIGHT,
00:38:40.18\00:38:43.69
THERE'S HOPE FOR THE CITY.' THE
FACT THAT GOD DESTROYED SODOM
00:38:43.69\00:38:46.89
AND GOMORRAH,
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:38:46.89\00:38:49.66
THERE WEREN'T TEN. HOW
MANY WERE THERE? HALF OF ONE.
00:38:49.66\00:38:53.50
(LAUGHTER) LOT, WHO WAS SORT OF
COMPROMISING, AND HIS DAUGHTERS
00:38:53.50\00:39:00.14
- YOU KEEP READING AND YOU FIND
OUT THEY WEREN'T THAT CONVERTED.
00:39:00.14\00:39:03.17
IT DOES CALL LOT A RIGHTEOUS MAN
IN - I THINK IT'S IN 2 PETER -
00:39:03.17\00:39:07.81
'THAT RIGHTEOUS MAN VEXED HIS
SOUL DAY AFTER DAY.' SO GOD NOT
00:39:07.81\00:39:10.58
ONLY WANTS US TO BE SALT,
MATTHEW 5:16, HE SAYS, "LET
00:39:10.58\00:39:13.95
YOUR" - WHAT SO SHINE? >>LIGHT.
00:39:13.95\00:39:16.28
>>"LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE
BEFORE MEN THAT THE MAY SEE YOUR
00:39:16.28\00:39:19.45
GOOD WORKS AND
GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
00:39:19.45\00:39:21.36
THE CHURCH IS TO BE
SALT IN OUR COMMUNITY.
00:39:21.36\00:39:23.09
ARE YOU MAKING A DIFFERENCE
IN YOUR COMMUNITY FOR GOOD?
00:39:23.09\00:39:26.29
DO YOU HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS?
WE'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD
00:39:26.29\00:39:29.06
RELATIONSHIP IN
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:39:29.06\00:39:30.50
ALL AROUND US OUR NEIGHBORS WILL
FREQUENTLY SAY, 'CAN YOU HELP
00:39:30.50\00:39:33.50
WITH THIS?' OR 'CAN
YOU HELP WITH THAT?'
00:39:33.50\00:39:35.07
AND YOU WANT TO SHOW
THEM YOU CARE - THAT YOU LOVE.
00:39:35.07\00:39:37.41
I DID AN AMAZING FACT
THIS WEEK ON THE RADIO PROGRAM.
00:39:37.41\00:39:41.78
IF YOU WEREN'T LISTENING THEN
I'LL SHARE IT WITH YOU AGAIN.
00:39:41.78\00:39:44.85
THERE'S A COUPLE OF INTERESTING
VILLAGES IN THE WORLD TODAY, ONE
00:39:44.85\00:39:48.12
OF THEM IS KNOWN AS RJUKON,
NORWAY - RJUKON, NORWAY AND THE
00:39:48.12\00:39:53.69
OTHER ONE IS VIGANELLA, ITALY.
THEY'RE SITUATED IN DEEP VALLEYS
00:39:53.69\00:39:58.53
WHERE, IN THE WINTER, BECAUSE
THE SUN GOES DOWN ON ITS ARC,
00:39:58.53\00:40:02.93
NO SUNSHINE HITS THE VALLEY ALL
WINTER LONG AND THEY'RE IN THE
00:40:02.93\00:40:06.20
SHADOWS AND SOMETIMES, LIKE IN
NORWAY, IN PARTICULAR, IT'S BAD
00:40:06.20\00:40:09.10
BECAUSE THEIR DAYS GET
REALLY SHORT IN THE WINTER.
00:40:09.10\00:40:13.14
I'VE BEEN IN SWEDEN IN THE
SUMMER AND THE SUN NEVER WENT
00:40:13.14\00:40:15.41
DOWN. I'D HATE
TO BE THERE IN THE
00:40:15.41\00:40:16.71
WINTER WHEN IT NEVER COMES
UP. BUT WHEN IT DOES COME UP,
00:40:16.71\00:40:19.41
IT'S ONLY UP FOR A FEW HOURS.
SO ONCE SOMEONE GOT AN IDEA;
00:40:19.41\00:40:22.58
THEY PUT THESE ENORMOUS MIRRORS
- I THINK THEY PUT LIKE SIX -
00:40:22.58\00:40:28.02
500-SQUARE-FOOT MIRRORS THAT
TRACK THE SUN AND REFLECT THE
00:40:28.02\00:40:32.53
SUN FROM A MOUNTAINTOP DOWN INTO
THE VALLEY WHERE THE TOWN IS.
00:40:32.53\00:40:38.60
AND THEY - IT'S CONTROLLED
BY A COMPUTER, IT'S ALL SOLAR
00:40:38.60\00:40:41.24
POWERED, AND SO IN THE
WINTERTIME THE PEOPLE WERE
00:40:41.24\00:40:44.14
ALWAYS KIND OF DEPRESSED THERE
IN THE DARK ALL WINTER LONG.
00:40:44.14\00:40:47.08
NOW, AT A CERTAIN TIME EACH DAY,
THE SUN APPEARS ON TOP OF THIS
00:40:47.08\00:40:51.11
MOUNTAIN. IT LOOKS
LIKE IT STAYS IN THE
00:40:51.11\00:40:52.85
SAME PLACE BECAUSE THESE MIRRORS
ARE TRACKING THE SUN SO THE SUN
00:40:52.85\00:40:55.55
DOESN'T MOVE KIND OF WEIRD.
BUT ALL THESE PEOPLE GATHER ON
00:40:55.55\00:40:58.85
THESE BENCHES IN THE TOWN AND
THEY'VE GOT THIS LITTLE SUNBEAM
00:40:58.85\00:41:02.56
IN THE CENTER OF THE TOWN - AND
THEY ALL KIND OF - 'HA! A LITTLE
00:41:02.56\00:41:06.29
SUN!' - THEY'LL STAND THERE AND
THEY'LL TALK TO EACH OTHER AND
00:41:06.29\00:41:08.20
THEY SUNBATHE. IT'S
FREEZING COLD, BUT AT LEAST
00:41:08.20\00:41:09.96
THEY GET A LITTLE
SUNSHINE. AND THOSE MIRRORS ARE
00:41:09.96\00:41:12.90
REFLECTING THE SUN.
IT'S KIND OF CLEVER.
00:41:12.90\00:41:16.84
BETTER THAN MOVING
THE TOWN - MOVE THE LIGHT.
00:41:16.84\00:41:20.18
WELL, YOU AND I
ARE IN A DARK WORLD.
00:41:20.18\00:41:22.21
WE DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHT OF OUR
OWN, BUT CHRISTIANS ARE TO BE
00:41:22.21\00:41:24.91
REFLECTING THE LIGHT - LIKE THE
MOON REFLECTS THE LIGHT OF THE
00:41:24.91\00:41:28.62
SUN IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE
CHURCH: A SOURCE OF LIFE - WE'RE
00:41:28.62\00:41:34.16
BACK IN EZEKIEL 47 AGAIN. AND I
REALLY LOVE THIS - THIS WAS OUR
00:41:34.16\00:41:38.86
MEMORY VERSE, "AND IT SHALL
BE THAT EVERYTHING LIVES THAT
00:41:38.86\00:41:42.93
MOVES. WHEREVER THE RIVER GOES
WILL LIVE. THERE WILL BE A GREAT
00:41:42.93\00:41:48.47
MULTITUDE OF FISH BECAUSE THE
WATERS GO THERE FOR THEY WILL BE
00:41:48.47\00:41:51.41
HEALED AND EVERYTHING WILL LIVE
WHEREVER THE RIVER GOES. WE, AS
00:41:51.41\00:41:56.34
THE CHURCH IN OUR COMMUNITY,
ARE TO BE A RIVER OF LIFE AND
00:41:56.34\00:42:01.12
COLLECTIVELY WE SHOULD BE HAVING
AN INFLUENCE FOR GOOD IN OUR
00:42:01.12\00:42:04.55
COMMUNITY SO THAT PEOPLE SAY,
'YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT A CHRISTIAN
00:42:04.55\00:42:08.42
NEIGHBOR AND I DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THEM MAKING LOUD
00:42:08.42\00:42:12.33
NOISES AT NIGHT, SCREAMING
AND YELLING AND DRINKING AND
00:42:12.33\00:42:15.83
FIGHTING. AND I DON'T SEE
THE' - ANY OF YOU EVER HAVE ANY
00:42:15.83\00:42:19.70
NEIGHBORS THE POLICE CAR ALWAYS
SEEMED TO BE AT THE FRONT DOOR?
00:42:19.70\00:42:24.91
NOT NOW, WHEN MY
NEIGHBOR'S WATCHING, YOU KNOW?
00:42:24.91\00:42:28.91
ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS TOLD ME,
HE SAID, 'DOUG, I WAS DRIVING
00:42:28.91\00:42:32.08
ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND I CAUGHT
YOUR RADIO PROGRAM AND I NOTICE
00:42:32.08\00:42:34.28
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE NEIGHBORS.' I SAID GOOD
00:42:34.28\00:42:37.02
THINGS. YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH IT,
YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'S LISTENING.
00:42:37.02\00:42:40.92
BUT I HAD ANOTHER NEIGHBOR,
YEARS AGO, AND IT SEEMED LIKE
00:42:40.92\00:42:45.03
ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH THE POLICE
CAR WAS THERE BECAUSE OF FAMILY
00:42:45.03\00:42:49.13
FEUDS AND THERE WAS A DRINKING
PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THAT'S NOT
00:42:49.13\00:42:54.14
YOUR WITNESS IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE WANT TO BE A BLESSING OF
00:42:54.14\00:42:59.64
LIGHT IN OUR
COMMUNITIES THAT THINGS LIVE.
00:42:59.64\00:43:03.88
IT SAYS IN EZEKIEL 47:10,
"IT SHALL BE THAT FISHERMEN WILL
00:43:03.88\00:43:08.05
STAND BY IT FROM EN GEDI TO EN
EGLAIM; THEY WILL BE A PLACE FOR
00:43:08.05\00:43:13.05
SPREADING THEIR NETS.
THEIR FISH WILL BE OF THE SAME
00:43:13.05\00:43:15.76
KINDS AS THE FISH OF THE
GREAT SEA, EXCEEDING MANY."
00:43:15.76\00:43:18.59
- 'THE GREAT SEA' MEANING THE
SEA OF GALILEE OR THE - EVEN THE
00:43:18.59\00:43:22.10
MEDITERRANEAN, BUT IT SAYS
THERE'LL BE AN ABUNDANCE OF FISH
00:43:22.10\00:43:24.63
AND YOU CAN NET THEM.
RIGHT NOW, THE SALT SEA WAS SO
00:43:24.63\00:43:28.47
BAD THAT, I UNDERSTAND, THE
EMPEROR VESPIAN, ONE TIME, HE
00:43:28.47\00:43:32.81
HEARD THAT THE WATER WAS
SO SALTY THAT PEOPLE WOULDN'T
00:43:32.81\00:43:37.25
SINK, THEY WOULD FLOAT. AND
HE TIED UP A PRISONER AND HE
00:43:37.25\00:43:40.65
THREW HIM IN TO
SEE IF IT WAS TRUE.
00:43:40.65\00:43:43.45
AND HE FLOATED -
FORTUNATELY FOR THE PRISONER.
00:43:43.45\00:43:46.12
NOW I'VE NEVER
BEEN TO THE DEAD SEA.
00:43:46.12\00:43:47.49
I DIDN'T GO OUT AND SWIM
IN IT AT THE TIME, BUT FOR THE
00:43:47.49\00:43:51.36
ISRAELITES, WHEN THEY SAID,
'THERE'LL BE LIFE IN THE DEAD
00:43:51.36\00:43:54.96
SEA? FROM THAT WATER?'
00:43:54.96\00:43:57.13
THAT WAS A PRETTY DRAMATIC
TRANSITION FOR THEM - "ALONG THE
00:43:57.13\00:44:00.94
BANK OF THE RIVER, ON THIS SIDE
AND THAT, WILL GROW ALL KINDS OF
00:44:00.94\00:44:04.34
TREES USED FOR FOOD; THEIR
LEAVES WILL NOT WITHER, AND
00:44:04.34\00:44:09.11
THEIR FRUIT WILL NOT
FAIL. THEY WILL BEAR FRUIT EVERY
00:44:09.11\00:44:11.98
MONTH, BECAUSE THEIR
WATER FLOWS FROM THE SANCTUARY.
00:44:11.98\00:44:15.35
THEIR FRUIT WILL BE FOR FOOD,
AND THEIR LEAVES FOR MEDICINE."
00:44:15.35\00:44:18.85
NOW DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ FOR ME
00:44:18.85\00:44:22.42
IN A MINUTE, JEREMIAH 17
- YOU HAVE THAT STEVE? OKAY.
00:44:22.42\00:44:26.06
I'M GOING TO READ REVELATION 22,
VERSES 1 AND 2, "AND HE SHOWED
00:44:26.06\00:44:29.70
ME A PURE RIVER OF WATER
OF LIFE, CLEAR AS CRYSTAL,
00:44:29.70\00:44:33.23
PROCEEDING FROM THE
THRONE OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB.
00:44:33.23\00:44:36.60
IN THE MIDDLE OF ITS STREET, AND
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIVER, WAS
00:44:36.60\00:44:40.08
THE TREE OF LIFE, WHICH
BORE TWELVE FRUITS, EACH TREE
00:44:40.08\00:44:43.38
YIELDING ITS FRUIT EVERY MONTH."
- NOW, YOU NOTICE WHEN WE READ
00:44:43.38\00:44:45.45
EZEKIEL - FRUIT EVERY MONTH,
FROM THE SANCTUARY, IT'LL - THE
00:44:45.45\00:44:50.95
FRUIT WILL BE FOR FOOD, AND
IT SAYS, "THE LEAVES OF THE TREE
00:44:50.95\00:44:54.42
WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE
NATIONS." IN EZEKIEL IT SAYS,
00:44:54.42\00:44:57.16
'AND THEIR LEAVES WERE
FOR MEDICINE.' IF YOU WANT TO
00:44:57.16\00:45:00.33
UNDERSTAND REVELATION,
LOOK AT THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:45:00.33\00:45:03.80
REVELATION IS A COLLAGE OF OLD
TESTAMENT PROPHECIES THAT ALL
00:45:03.80\00:45:09.70
KIND OF COME TOGETHER AND
MAKE SENSE. GO AHEAD, READ
00:45:09.70\00:45:12.47
FOR US PLEASE
JEREMIAH 17:7 AND 8.
00:45:12.47\00:45:15.41
>>"BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS
IN THE LORD, AND WHOSE HOPE IS
00:45:15.41\00:45:18.28
THE LORD. FOR HE SHALL BE LIKE
A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS,
00:45:18.28\00:45:21.65
WHICH SPREADS OUT ITS ROOTS
BY THE RIVER, AND WILL NOT FEAR
00:45:21.65\00:45:24.79
WHEN HEAT COMES; BUT ITS LEAF
WILL BE GREEN, AND WILL NOT BE

FRUIT." >>THIS IS
HOW A CHRISTIAN SHOULD
00:45:32.39\00:45:34.46
BE. WE ARE ROOTED IN THE LIVING
00:45:34.46\00:45:36.56
WATER AND WE'RE BEARING
THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT
00:45:36.56\00:45:40.87
IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND,
WHILE EVERYONE AROUND US
00:45:40.87\00:45:43.71
IS DRY, THEY'RE WONDERING,
'HOW COME YOUR LEAVES ARE GREEN
00:45:43.71\00:45:47.84
WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS
DRY?' BECAUSE WHERE I'M ROOTED.
00:45:47.84\00:45:53.15
CHRISTIANS ARE
ROOTED IN THE LORD.
00:45:53.15\00:45:54.62
AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT SOMETIMES
TRIALS THAT COME TO PEOPLE AND
00:45:54.62\00:45:58.92
COMMUNITIES - SOMEONE ONE TIME
SAID, 'A CHRISTIAN THAT HAS A
00:45:58.92\00:46:04.76
BIBLE THAT IS FALLING APART IS
USUALLY A PERSON WHO CAN KEEP IT
00:46:04.76\00:46:09.50
TOGETHER. IF YOUR
BIBLE IS FALLING APART
00:46:09.50\00:46:13.20
AND YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, THAT
MEANS THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO
00:46:13.20\00:46:15.07
KEEP IT TOGETHER WHEN THE TRIALS
COME. FALLING APART MEANS YOU
00:46:15.07\00:46:17.44
REALLY STUDY THE WORD IF
YOU'RE ROOTED IN THE WORD, AMEN?
00:46:17.44\00:46:20.91
ALRIGHT, JUBILEE PROMISES - I'VE
JUST GOT A COUPLE OF MINUTES
00:46:20.91\00:46:24.91
HERE - AND IT SAYS IN ISAIAH
61:1 THROUGH 3, "THE SPIRIT OF
00:46:24.91\00:46:33.39
THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE
THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME TO
00:46:33.39\00:46:36.26
PREACH GOOD TIDINGS TO THE
POOR; HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE
00:46:36.26\00:46:39.16
BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM
LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES, AND THE
00:46:39.16\00:46:42.00
OPENING OF THE PRISON TO THOSE
WHO ARE BOUND; TO PROCLAIM THE
00:46:42.00\00:46:44.50
ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD," -
NOW THESE ARE WONDERFUL PROMISES
00:46:44.50\00:46:48.74
- IT GOES ON TO SAY, "AND THE
DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD;" -
00:46:48.74\00:46:51.21
THERE'S A JUDGMENT COMING -
"TO COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN, TO
00:46:51.21\00:46:53.84
CONSOLE THOSE WHO MOURN IN ZION,
TO GIVE THEM BEAUTY FOR ASHES,
00:46:53.84\00:46:57.41
THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING, THE
GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT
00:46:57.41\00:47:01.02
OF HEAVINESS; THAT THEY MAY BE
CALLED TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:47:01.02\00:47:04.05
THE PLANTING OF THE LORD,
THAT HE MAY BE GLORIFIED."
00:47:04.05\00:47:07.39
TIES IN WITH OUR OTHER METAPHOR
- WHAT WAS THE FIRST SERMON
00:47:07.39\00:47:10.49
JESUS GAVE WHEN HE
STOOD UP IN NAZARETH?
00:47:10.49\00:47:13.46
HE SAYS IN LUKE 18, 'THE SPIRIT
OF THE LORD IS UPON ME BECAUSE
00:47:13.46\00:47:18.67
HE'S ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE
GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE'S SENT ME
00:47:18.67\00:47:21.44
TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO
PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES
00:47:21.44\00:47:24.24
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE
BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE
00:47:24.24\00:47:27.31
WHO ARE OPPRESSED' - WHEN JESUS
GOT DONE HE SAID, 'VERILY I SAY
00:47:27.31\00:47:30.98
UNTO YOU, TODAY THIS PROPHECY
IS FULFILLED IN YOUR EARS.'
00:47:30.98\00:47:34.98
WHAT IS THE
MINISTRY OF A CHRISTIAN?
00:47:34.98\00:47:37.75
SAME THING, A
CHRISTIAN FOLLOWS CHRIST.
00:47:37.75\00:47:40.02
CHRIST SAID, 'AS THE FATHER SENT
ME, SO SEND I YOU.' WE ARE TO
00:47:40.02\00:47:43.66
PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR,
HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, PROCLAIM
00:47:43.66\00:47:48.30
LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES THROUGH
THE GOSPEL - SET FREE FROM SIN,
00:47:48.30\00:47:51.97
RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE
BLIND' - OPEN THEIR EYES WITH
00:47:51.97\00:47:55.67
UNDERSTANDING, TO SET AT
LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED.
00:47:55.67\00:47:59.61
AND SO THIS IS THE
CHRISTIAN MINISTRY.
00:47:59.61\00:48:02.24
WE ARE TO HAVE THIS KIND
OF INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD.
00:48:02.24\00:48:05.08
AND THEN FINALLY, IT SAYS IN
MICAH - THIS IS OUR LAST SECTION
00:48:05.08\00:48:09.08
- THE CHURCH: A CHANGE AGENT
. HE GIVES THAT GREAT PASSAGE IN
00:48:09.08\00:48:15.72
MICAH CHAPTER 6 - START WITH
VERSE 6, "WITH WHAT SHALL I COME
00:48:15.72\00:48:20.80
BEFORE THE LORD, AND BOW
MYSELF BEFORE THE HIGH GOD?
00:48:20.80\00:48:23.83
SHALL I COME BEFORE HIM WITH
BURNT OFFERINGS, WITH CALVES A
00:48:23.83\00:48:27.60
YEAR OLD? WILL THE
LORD BE PLEASED WITH
00:48:27.60\00:48:29.74
THOUSANDS OF RAMS, TEN
THOUSAND RIVERS OF OIL?
00:48:29.74\00:48:33.84
SHALL I GIVE MY FIRSTBORN FOR MY
TRANSGRESSION, THE FRUIT OF MY
00:48:33.84\00:48:37.01
BODY FOR THE SIN OF
MY SOUL? WHAT DO WE DO?
00:48:37.01\00:48:39.65
HOW DO WE PLEASE THE LORD?
00:48:39.65\00:48:41.65
AND HERE'S THE CONCLUSION: "HE
HAS SHOWN YOU, O MAN, WHAT IS
00:48:41.65\00:48:44.89
GOOD; AND WHAT DOES THE LORD
REQUIRE OF YOU BUT TO DO JUSTLY,
00:48:44.89\00:48:49.92
TO LOVE MERCY, AND TO
WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD?
00:48:49.92\00:48:54.30
WHAT WAS THAT VERSE IN
DEUTERONOMY - YOU TOLD ME THIS
00:48:54.30\00:48:56.93
MORNING - IN DEUTERONOMY
20 - >>TEN, TWELVE, THIRTEEN.
00:48:56.93\00:49:00.27
>>DEUTERONOMY 10:12 AND 13
- JEREMIAH IS ACTUALLY QUOTING
00:49:00.27\00:49:03.84
MOSES WHEN HE SAYS THIS
ABOUT SEEKING AFTER THE LORD.
00:49:03.84\00:49:07.64
AND WE HAVE OUR LAST VERSE,
WHICH IS ECCLESIASTES 12:13 AND
00:49:07.64\00:49:13.98
14. I WANTED TO
SAVE SOLOMON'S VERSE
00:49:13.98\00:49:16.42
FOR LAST BECAUSE
SOLOMON SORT OF SUMS IT ALL UP.
00:49:16.42\00:49:19.29
WHAT IS THE WORK OF
THE CHURCH IN THE WORLD?
00:49:19.29\00:49:21.69
OKAY, I THINK
WE'RE READY FOR THAT.
00:49:21.69\00:49:23.69
>>"LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF
THE WHOLE MATTER: FEAR GOD AND
00:49:23.69\00:49:27.30
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
FOR THIS IS MAN'S ALL.
00:49:27.30\00:49:30.20
FOR GOD WILL BRING EVERY WORK
INTO JUDGMENT INCLUDING EVERY
00:49:30.20\00:49:33.47
SECRET THING,
WHETHER GOOD OR EVIL.
00:49:33.47\00:49:36.84
>>TO FEAR GOD, TO LOVE THE LORD
AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS MEANS
00:49:36.84\00:49:40.68
DOING THE WORK OF JESUS IN THE
WORLD - LOVING THE LORD WITH ALL
00:49:40.68\00:49:43.65
YOUR HEART AND
LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:49:43.65\00:49:45.68
THIS IS THE CONCLUSION OF THE
WHOLE MATTER, THAT WE MIGHT BE -
00:49:45.68\00:49:48.65
THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S MORE BLESSED
TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE - THAT
00:49:48.65\00:49:51.29
WE MIGHT BE A BLESSING.
WE ARE OUT OF TIME FOR OUR
00:49:51.29\00:49:53.76

HIS WORD AGAIN
NEXT WEEK. (MUSIC)
00:50:16.51\00:50:29.22
>>TODAY'S SMART PHONES
ARE A VIRTUAL UNIVERSE OF

WITH IT YOU CAN BUY YOUR

THE INTERNATIONAL WORLD-WIDE
WEB, WHICH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE A
00:50:44.04\00:50:47.68
GOOD THING. AND,
YOU KNOW, THERE IS MORE

COMPUTER PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
AND POWER IN A LITTLE SMART
00:50:49.88\00:50:53.48

NASA TO PUT A MAN ON THE MOON.
00:50:53.48\00:50:57.72
AND I ALMOST FORGOT, YOU
CAN ALSO USE THESE TO MAKE A
00:50:57.72\00:51:00.19
PHONE CALL, BUT
WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE?
00:51:00.19\00:51:03.06
TODAY COMMUNICATION IS
NOT IN COMPLETE SENTENCES.
00:51:03.06\00:51:05.69
IT'S ALL ABOUT SHORT MESSAGE
SERVICING OR SMS TEXTING.
00:51:05.69\00:51:11.27
THAT'S RIGHT, THERE ARE ABOUT
2.5 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
00:51:11.27\00:51:14.64
TODAY THAT ARE COMMUNICATING
WITH THEIR FELLOW HUMANS IN
00:51:14.64\00:51:17.57
SHORT BYTES CALLED TEXTING.
THAT'S MORE DATA THAT IS BEING
00:51:17.57\00:51:21.38
USED THAN THOSE WHO
ARE SURFING THE WEB OR EVEN
00:51:21.38\00:51:23.88
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.
AND, FRIENDS, NOWHERE IS THIS
00:51:23.88\00:51:26.35
MORE TRUE THAN RIGHT
HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
00:51:26.35\00:51:28.78
EVEN THOUGH THE PHILIPPINES HAS
ABOUT 100 MILLION PEOPLE, THEY
00:51:28.78\00:51:31.99
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LARGEST
NUMBER OF TEXT MESSAGES OF
00:51:31.99\00:51:35.26
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
THEY'RE THE TWELFTH-LARGEST
00:51:35.26\00:51:37.79
COUNTRY, BUT THEY SEND 400
MILLION TEXT MESSAGES EVERY DAY.
00:51:37.79\00:51:43.10
WOW, THAT'S A LOT
OF FINGER FATIGUE.
00:51:43.10\00:51:46.60
EVEN THOUGH THE GREATEST
NUMBER OF TEXTERS IS HERE IN THE
00:51:46.60\00:51:49.00
PHILIPPINES, THE RECORD FOR THE
FASTEST TEXTER IN THE WORLD IS
00:51:49.00\00:51:52.47
FROM BRAZIL. A
YOUNG MAN BY THE NAME OF
00:51:52.47\00:51:54.54
MARCEL FERNANDES FILHO - HE WAS
ABLE TO TEXT 25 VERY COMPLICATED
00:51:54.54\00:51:58.71
WORDS IN A LITTLE
MORE THAN 18 SECONDS.
00:51:58.71\00:52:01.45
WOW, IT TAKES ME LONGER THAN
THAT TO JUST SAY 'I LOVE YOU' TO
00:52:01.45\00:52:04.92
MY WIFE AND
PRESS SEND. ALL THUMBS.
00:52:04.92\00:52:09.26
ONE OF THE NEAT THINGS ABOUT
TEXTING IS YOU CAN TEXT JUST
00:52:09.26\00:52:11.26
ABOUT ANYWHERE. IF
YOU'RE SURROUNDED WITH PEOPLE
00:52:11.26\00:52:13.40
AND YOU WANT TO SEND A
PERSONAL MESSAGE, YOU TEXT.
00:52:13.40\00:52:15.70
YOU'RE IN A CROWDED SUBWAY
OR AN AIRPORT, YOU CAN TEXT.
00:52:15.70\00:52:18.80
IF YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY NOISE
OR NOSEY PEOPLE, YOU CAN TEXT -
00:52:18.80\00:52:23.07
JUST DON'T TEXT
WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING.
00:52:23.07\00:52:25.47
THAT'S WHAT'S SO WONDERFUL,
FRIENDS, YOU CAN ALWAYS TEXT GOD
00:52:25.47\00:52:28.14
A MESSAGE OF
PRAYER FROM YOUR HEART.
00:52:28.14\00:52:30.65
WHEN YOU'RE WONDERING
'WHAT SCHOOL DO I GO TO?'
00:52:30.65\00:52:32.81
'WHAT JOB DO I TAKE?' 'WHO AM
I SUPPOSED TO DATE THAT MAY BE A
00:52:32.81\00:52:35.65
FUTURE LIFE PARTNER?' YOUR
PRAYERS DON'T HAVE TO BE LONG.
00:52:35.65\00:52:38.62
THE SHORTEST PRAYER IN THE BIBLE
IS THREE WORDS - WHEN PETER
00:52:38.62\00:52:41.46
PRAYED, 'LORD SAVE ME.'
AND JESUS ANSWERED HIS PRAYER.
00:52:41.46\00:52:45.29
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU
CAN TEXT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO
00:52:45.29\00:52:47.86
GOD, HE'LL KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
ASKING FOR AND HEAR YOUR PRAYER
00:52:47.86\00:52:51.20
BEFORE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO
SAY 'AMEN' AND PRESS THE SEND
00:52:51.20\00:52:53.80
BUTTON. IN FACT,
FRIENDS, YOU'LL BRING
00:52:53.80\00:52:55.77
JOY TO GOD WHEN YOU SEND
HIM REGULAR MESSAGES FROM
00:52:55.77\00:52:58.71
YOUR HEART TO HIS.
SO WHY DON'T YOU TALK
00:52:58.71\00:53:01.18
TO HIM RIGHT NOW? (MUSIC)
00:53:01.18\00:53:17.79
>>AMAZING FACTS, CHANGED LIVES.
00:53:17.79\00:53:27.97
>>I WAS HEADING
SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 5.
00:53:27.97\00:53:30.77
THIS COMMERCIAL CAME ON KFBK
RADIO ABOUT A REVELATION SEMINAR
00:53:30.77\00:53:35.68
BY AMAZING FACTS. I BEGAN -
MY CHEST BEGAN TO TIGHTEN UP.
00:53:35.68\00:53:39.75
I BEGAN SWEATING PROFUSELY.
I HAD DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING.
00:53:39.75\00:53:44.39
THERE WAS THIS BIG REST AREA
AND, AT THIS TIME, I PULLED INTO
00:53:44.39\00:53:48.09
THERE - I THOUGHT, 'WELL, MAYBE
I'M HAVING A HEART ATTACK.' I
00:53:48.09\00:53:51.06
GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK, WALKED INTO
THE MEN'S RESTROOM THERE AND PUT
00:53:51.06\00:53:55.63
COLD WATER ON MY
FACE. AND THEN FINALLY
00:53:55.63\00:53:57.77
THINGS SUBSIDED. A
WEEK LATER, AGAIN, I HEARD
00:53:57.77\00:54:00.77
THIS AMAZING FACTS COMMERCIAL
COME ON THE RADIO AND, IN FACT,
00:54:00.77\00:54:04.04
THE MEETINGS WERE GOING
TO START THAT VERY NIGHT.
00:54:04.04\00:54:06.34
AND, AGAIN, IMMEDIATELY,
I HAD THESE SAME SYMPTOMS.
00:54:06.34\00:54:09.84
I THOUGHT, YOU
KNOW, THIS ISN'T MY HEART.
00:54:09.84\00:54:12.11
I HAVE TO GO TO THAT MEETING.
AND, AS I WAS GOING DOWN TO
00:54:12.11\00:54:15.12
SACRAMENTO I DECIDED TO PARK AND
GO INSIDE. WELL, I GOT IN AND
00:54:15.12\00:54:21.62
WALKED INTO THE FURTHERMOST REAR
SEAT THEY HAD IN THE PEW THERE.
00:54:21.62\00:54:26.23
AND THIS PARTICULAR EVANGELIST,
HIS NAME WAS KIM KJEAR.
00:54:26.23\00:54:32.60
IT WAS LIKE TAKING ONE LAYER
OFF AT A TIME - OF AN ONION - HE
00:54:32.60\00:54:36.94
LAID IT OUT SO PERFECTLY
THAT WE COULD ALL UNDERSTAND IT.
00:54:36.94\00:54:39.84
AND I WAS REALLY MOTIVATED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
00:54:39.84\00:54:42.54
WELL, I FINISHED. I
DIDN'T MISS A MEETING.
00:54:42.54\00:54:44.55
IN FACT, ON THE FIFTH NIGHT THEY
HAD AN ALTAR CALL AND MY KNEES
00:54:44.55\00:54:49.28
STOOD RIGHT UP AND I WALKED
FORWARD AND I GAVE MY HEART TO
00:54:49.28\00:54:52.19
JESUS CHRIST. I'VE
LEARNED, THROUGHOUT THIS
00:54:52.19\00:54:55.56
WHOLE THING, THAT WHEN YOU
- WHEN YOU LEAVE THE DEVIL'S
00:54:55.56\00:54:58.73
TERRITORY HE GETS PRETTY ACTIVE
IN CAUSING A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
00:54:58.73\00:55:04.03
WELL, I HAD THE EVANGELIST COME
OUT AND THEY HAD PRAYER WITH ME
00:55:04.03\00:55:08.14
ABOUT MY BUSINESS. I
WOULD FIND A SICK BUSINESS AND
00:55:08.14\00:55:11.74
MAKE IT WELL AND THEN MARKET
IT. I FINALLY ENDED UP WITH A
00:55:11.74\00:55:15.71
BUSINESS THAT I REALLY ENJOYED
THAT WAS ONE THAT WAS BUILDING
00:55:15.71\00:55:19.41
EQUESTRIAN CENTERS AND THEY
SAID TO ME, 'STEVE, YOU KNOW, IF
00:55:19.41\00:55:23.55
YOU'RE GOING TO REALLY KEEP THE
SABBATH YOU'VE GOT TO SHUT YOUR
00:55:23.55\00:55:26.12
DOORS ON THE SABBATH.'
WELL, I DID. AND SO I SOLD THE
00:55:26.12\00:55:29.86
BUSINESS TO MY BROTHER.
IT TOOK ME 22 YEARS TO BUILD
00:55:29.86\00:55:32.93
THAT BUSINESS AND HE
LOST IT IN 33 MONTHS.
00:55:32.93\00:55:37.70
MY SON, WHO WAS MY BUSINESS
PARTNER, I'D BEEN GIVING HIM TEN
00:55:37.70\00:55:40.47
PERCENT OF THE
BUSINESS EVERY YEAR.
00:55:40.47\00:55:42.84
HE THOUGHT I'D JUST
FALLEN OFF THE BRIDGE.
00:55:42.84\00:55:47.38
MY SON DIDN'T TALK TO ME
FOR FIVE AND A HALF YEARS.
00:55:47.38\00:55:50.71
AND THEN A FEW
OTHER THINGS HAPPEN.
00:55:50.71\00:55:52.85
I HAD AN EX-EMPLOYEE
LIVING IN MY GUEST HOUSE.
00:55:52.85\00:55:55.38
HE KIND OF WATCHED AFTER
OUR PLACE AND HE SAID, 'STEVE,
00:55:55.38\00:55:59.32
THERE'S AN ALLIED MOVING VAN
BACKED UP TO YOUR FRONT DOOR IN
00:55:59.32\00:56:03.49
YOUR HOME.' I
SAID, 'YOU'RE KIDDING!'
00:56:03.49\00:56:05.26
I SAID, 'WHAT DO YOU
MEAN?' HE SAID, 'THEY'RE MOVING
00:56:05.26\00:56:08.36
EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR HOUSE
INTO THIS TRUCK AND YOUR WIFE IS
00:56:08.36\00:56:11.27
OUT THERE SUPERVISING THEM.' AND
WHEN I WENT HOME AND OPENED THE
00:56:11.27\00:56:14.84
FRONT DOOR, MY VOICE
ECHOED IN THAT HOUSE.
00:56:14.84\00:56:17.71
THERE WASN'T ANY
FURNITURE LEFT ANYWHERE.
00:56:17.71\00:56:19.61
THERE WAS ONE BED
LEFT IN THE HOUSE.
00:56:19.61\00:56:22.64
I KNEW MY WIFE WAS UPSET BECAUSE
OF MY COMING TO THIS CHURCH, BUT
00:56:22.64\00:56:27.22
I HAD NO IDEA THAT SHE
WOULD MOVE OUT LIKE THIS.
00:56:27.22\00:56:30.19
THAT WAS A TOTAL SHOCK TO
ME. IT WAS SOME THERE - I LOCKED
00:56:30.19\00:56:33.46
MYSELF IN THE BEDROOM AND
I BEGAN READING THE BIBLE.
00:56:33.46\00:56:37.09
I SPENT ABOUT A HALF A YEAR JUST
EVERY NIGHT GETTING HOME AND I
00:56:37.09\00:56:41.00
WOULD STUDY. IT
ALLOWED ME TO HAVE A PERSONAL
00:56:41.00\00:56:44.93
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
WELL, TO MAKE A LONG STORY
00:56:44.93\00:56:48.24
SHORT, I MET CRYSTAL
AND SHE WAS A GODLY WOMAN.
00:56:48.24\00:56:52.37
THAT WAS THE LORD'S DOING, NOT
MINE, AND HE WAS JUST THERE TO
00:56:52.37\00:56:56.54
LET ME KNOW THAT
'I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY.
00:56:56.54\00:56:58.81
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
SOME TRIALS AND YOU'RE GOING TO
00:56:58.81\00:57:00.85
HAVE SOME HARDSHIPS, I WANT YOU
TO KNOW THAT I'LL BE WITH YOU
00:57:00.85\00:57:05.05
BECAUSE, NO MATTER WHAT
I DO NOW, HE IS MY LEADER.
00:57:05.05\00:57:09.79
HE'S THE LEADER OF MY
MARRIAGE. HE'S THE LEADER OF
00:57:09.79\00:57:11.79
EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE
TODAY. THAT ONE MEETING WITH THE
