ANOTHER EVENING OF 3ABN "TODAY
00:01:09.50\00:01:15.07

00:01:15.07\00:01:17.24
I HAVE JASON BRADLEY,

>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. >> WHY?
00:01:25.68\00:01:29.45
>> WELL, ONE
BECAUSE OF OUR GUEST.
00:01:29.45\00:01:31.79
WE HAVE SPENT QUITE A BIT
OF TIME WITH THIS YOUNG MAN.
00:01:31.79\00:01:34.69
>> YES, E HAVE. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:01:34.69\00:01:37.19
>> AND ALSO BECAUSE HE
JUST SHEDS SO MUCH LIGHT OWN
00:01:37.19\00:01:42.03
THE -- THE WORD. YOU
KNOW, HE REALLY BREAKS DOWN
00:01:42.03\00:01:45.93
DANIEL AND REVELATION,
AND GOD HAS BLESSED HIM WITH A
00:01:45.93\00:01:49.50
TREMENDOUS GIFT. >> HE HAS.
00:01:49.50\00:01:51.71
LET'S INTRODUCE HIM OUR
GUEST IS PASTOR JAMES RAFFERTY.
00:01:51.71\00:01:58.35
>> GOOD TO BE HERE. >>
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU.
00:01:58.35\00:02:01.98
>> PRAISE THE LORD.
>> AGAIN, WE HAVE HAD THE
00:02:01.98\00:02:06.09
PRIVILEGE OF BEING WITH PASTOR
JAMES ON SALVATION SYMBOLS AND
00:02:06.09\00:02:13.73
SIGNS. >> I HAVE
LEARNED SO MUCH FROM
00:02:13.73\00:02:17.00
YOU GUYS OWN THAT PROGRAM
-- >> DON'T BE FUNNY NOW.
00:02:17.00\00:02:21.87
[ LAUGHTER ] >> SLOW DOWN.
00:02:21.87\00:02:22.70
SLOW DOWN. IT'S GOOD.
00:02:22.70\00:02:24.24
>> THAT'S RIGHT. AND
ONE OF THE THNGS I LOVE
00:02:24.24\00:02:26.71
ABOUT THAT PROGRAM, IS WHEN WE
DID IT WITH PASTOR MEYERS -- WE
00:02:26.71\00:02:31.35
NEED TO HAVE HIM
HERE TONIGHT TOO.
00:02:31.35\00:02:34.48
THEN IT'S LIKE
HOMECOMING, RIGHT?
00:02:34.48\00:02:36.58
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVED
ABOUT THAT IS WE DIDN'T HAVE A
00:02:36.58\00:02:41.72
SCHEDULE. WE DIDN'T
SAY TODAY WE'RE GOING
00:02:41.72\00:02:44.19
TO DO THIS
CHAPTER AND THIS CHAPTER.
00:02:44.19\00:02:49.36
NO, THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD,
AND YOU WERE THE TEACHERS AND WE
00:02:49.36\00:02:52.43
ASKED YOU
QUESTIONS THAT WE THOUGHT --
00:02:52.43\00:02:54.90
>> 72 -- >> 72.
00:02:54.90\00:02:59.34
>> WE SPENT QUITE A
BIT OF TIME TOGETHER.
00:02:59.34\00:03:02.18
>> WE SPENT A
LONG TIME DOING THAT.
00:03:02.18\00:03:04.21
>> IT'S A BLESSING. >>
AND DANIEL IS COMING UP.
00:03:04.21\00:03:07.08
>> YES, WE'RE
GOING TO DO DANIEL.
00:03:07.08\00:03:10.42
>> IT WON'T BE 72.
BECAUSE DANIEL IS A SMALLER
00:03:10.42\00:03:13.59
BOOK. BUT IT WILL BE FUN.
00:03:13.59\00:03:16.09
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
>> WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
00:03:16.09\00:03:20.46
TALKING TO YOU TONIGHT, AND
TO -- AGAIN, BE YOUR STUDENT SO
00:03:20.46\00:03:23.57

JAMES IS GOING

THAT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED.
>> PASTOR JAMES IS GOING TO

TELL US ABOUT OUR MUSIC,
JAY. >> WE HAVE A SONG FROM THE
00:04:19.29\00:04:25.66
BIRCHFIELD BROTHERS
ENTITLED "NEARER MY GOD."
00:04:25.66\00:04:39.27
¤ ¤
00:04:51.22\00:06:56.48
>> WOW. WASN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?
00:06:56.48\00:06:58.35
>> THAT WAS. >>
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
00:06:58.35\00:07:00.32
>> SO SOOTHING. >> UH-HUH.
00:07:00.32\00:07:02.78
>> JUST REALLY SOOTHING.
>> I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END.
00:07:02.78\00:07:06.62
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WELL,
WE ARE EXCITED, BECAUSE
00:07:06.62\00:07:09.32
WE ARE PLANNING TO REALLY GET
INTO THE WORD, AND GET SOME DEEP
00:07:09.32\00:07:14.00
TEACHING FROM THE WORD, AND THE
LORD LEAD ME TO THIS SCRIPTURE
00:07:14.00\00:07:18.40
TO START OUT OUR SESSION THIS
EVENING, AND IT'S 2 CHRONICLES
00:07:18.40\00:07:26.07
7:14. AND IT
SAYS, IF MY PEOPLE WHO
00:07:26.07\00:07:29.18
ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL
HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND
00:07:29.18\00:07:32.38
SEEK MY FAITH, AND TURN FROM
THEIRING WITH -- WICKED WAYS,
00:07:32.38\00:07:39.22
THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND
FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR
00:07:39.22\00:07:43.39
LAND. AND
TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:07:43.39\00:07:45.66
TALKING ABOUT
PRAYER. POLITICS AND PRAYER.
00:07:45.66\00:07:47.76
>> UH-HUH. AND WE
-- THIS IS REALLY AN
00:07:47.76\00:07:50.80
IMPORTANT TIME IN OUR
HISTORY IN WORLD HISTORY.
00:07:50.80\00:07:53.60
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT IS
00:07:53.60\00:07:56.07
GOING ON IN THE WORLD AND
IN -- IN OUR COUNTRY, A LOT OF
00:07:56.07\00:08:01.81
TIMES IT'S DIFFICULT AND
CHALLENGING FOR US TO KNOW HOW
00:08:01.81\00:08:06.18
TO MANEUVER. HOW CAN
WE NAVIGATE THROUGH ALL
00:08:06.18\00:08:12.12
OF OUR ISSUES. AND FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE AWARE OF
00:08:12.12\00:08:16.29
AND CONCERNS WITH WHAT IS GOING
ON TO MAYBE GIVE A BIBLICAL
00:08:16.29\00:08:22.96
PERSPECTIVE ON HOW WE CAN
RESPOND TO SOME OF THE ISSUES
00:08:22.96\00:08:25.60
THAT WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW AND
WE WILL BE FACING IN THE FUTURE.
00:08:25.60\00:08:30.04
WE'RE REALLY INTO PROPHECY, SO
WE UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE THAT
00:08:30.04\00:08:32.91
THERE ARE A LOT OF EVENTS
THAT ARE YET TO COME THAT WILL
00:08:32.91\00:08:37.35
CHALLENGE US EVEN MORE.
JESUS IN MATTHEW 24 INDICATES
00:08:37.35\00:08:40.05
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES WILL
BECOME MORE INTENSE AND MORE
00:08:40.05\00:08:44.42
FREQUENT. SO I
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD
00:08:44.42\00:08:46.09
FOR US TO GO BACK TO GENESIS,
AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POLITICS
00:08:46.09\00:08:49.92
AND PRAYER, AND WHAT I
WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST IS THAT AS
00:08:49.92\00:08:55.86
BELIEVERS ESPECIALLY, WE ARE
CHALLENGED AT TIMES TO RELY UPON
00:08:55.86\00:09:01.44
PRAYER RATHER THAN
POLITICS. >> UH-HUH.
00:09:01.44\00:09:03.77
>> AND POLITICS IS THE
ART OF CONTROLLING GOVERNMENT,
00:09:03.77\00:09:10.85
CONTROLLING
SITUATIONS, CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:09:10.85\00:09:14.18
POLITICS CAN TAKE PLACE IN A
CHURCH, IN FAMILY, AS WELL AS IN
00:09:14.18\00:09:18.25
A GOVERNMENT AND IN A COUNTRY,
AND A LOT OF TIMES -- YOU KNOW,
00:09:18.25\00:09:22.36
PARENTS CAN BE POLITICAL IN
THE WAY THAT THEY MANAGE THEIR
00:09:22.36\00:09:25.53
CHILDREN. WE CAN BE
POLITICAL IN WORK AND
00:09:25.53\00:09:27.66
CHURCH -- A LOT OF CHURCH
IS VERY POLITICAL, AND IT'S
00:09:27.66\00:09:32.47
CONTRARY TO OR
COUNTER TO, I BELIEVE, PRAYER.
00:09:32.47\00:09:35.74
PRAYER IS KIND OF LIKE THIS
THING THAT WE DO WHERE WE KIND
00:09:35.74\00:09:40.21
OF GIVE IT TO GOD. AND
THE WAY WE DO THAT IS -- LET
00:09:40.21\00:09:44.11
ME GIVE YOU A DEFINITION
OF PRAYER TO START WITH.
00:09:44.11\00:09:46.41
PRAYER IS TALKING
TO GOD. >> UH-HUH.
00:09:46.41\00:09:48.68
>> JUST TALKING WITH
GOD. >> JUST SIMPLY THAT.
00:09:48.68\00:09:51.52
>> JUST SIMPLY THAT.
JUST LIKE HE IS OUR FRIEND.
00:09:51.52\00:09:55.26
WE'RE JUST TALKING THINGS
THROUGH, AND THERE IS NOTHING
00:09:55.26\00:09:58.06
QUITE LIKE BEING IN A SITUATION
WHERE YOU ARE REALLY STRUGGLING
00:09:58.06\00:10:01.83
WITH SOME ISSUE AND HAVING
SOMEBODY YOU CAN GO TALK TO.
00:10:01.83\00:10:05.47
>> THAT'S TRUE. >>
SOMEONE THAT IS NOT GOING TO
00:10:05.47\00:10:07.94
BE CRITICAL OR GO
SHARE EVERYTHING YOU JUST
00:10:07.94\00:10:10.74
TURNED -- OPENED UP YOUR HEART,
SOMEONE YOU CAN JUST POUR OUT
00:10:10.74\00:10:14.74
YOUR HEART TO, THEY ARE GOING TO
LISTEN, MAYBE THEY WILL GIVE YOU
00:10:14.74\00:10:19.81
ADVICE OF JUST GIVE YOU A HUG,
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
00:10:19.81\00:10:25.09
NEED, AND THE REASON WE NEED IT,
I THINK IS WE WERE CREATED -- IF
00:10:25.09\00:10:29.02
YOU GO BACK TO THE
BOOK OF GENESIS 3 --
00:10:29.02\00:10:37.30
>> UH-HUH. [ AUDIO LOST. ]
00:10:37.30\00:10:41.37
>> AND WHAT HAPPENS
THERE, BASICALLY IS, IT SAYS
00:10:41.37\00:10:44.37
THAT -- WELL, LET'S JUST READ
THE VERSE, GENESIS 3, AND JASON
00:10:44.37\00:10:50.05
COULD YOU GRAB
IT FOR US? >> YEAH.
00:10:50.05\00:10:52.48
>> WE'LL START
WITH VERSE 8. >> OKAY.
00:10:52.48\00:10:55.45
AND THEY HEARD THE SOUND OF THE
LORD GOD WALKING IN THE GARDEN
00:10:55.45\00:10:58.65
IN THE COOL OF THE DAY AND ADAM
AND HIS WIFE HID THEMSELVES FROM
00:10:58.65\00:11:03.12
THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD GOD
AMONG THE TREES IN THE GARDEN.
00:11:03.12\00:11:08.56
VERSUS 9 THEN THE LORD CALLED TO
ADAM AND SAID TO HIM, WHERE ARE
00:11:08.56\00:11:15.27
YOU? I HEARD YOUR VOICE IN THE
00:11:15.27\00:11:17.44
GARDEN, AND I WAS AFRAID,
BECAUSE I WAS NAKED AND I HID
00:11:17.44\00:11:23.08
MYSELF. >> SO
THIS TELLS US SOMETHING
00:11:23.08\00:11:25.61
REALLY BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT ADAM AND EVE
00:11:25.61\00:11:30.72
HAD WITH GOD.
APPARENTLY GOD WOULD HANG OUT
00:11:30.72\00:11:34.89
WITH THEM AND TALK. >> UH-HUH.
00:11:34.89\00:11:37.43
>> BUT SOMETHING CHANGED AFTER
ADAM AND EVE TURNED AWAY FROM
00:11:37.43\00:11:41.60
GOD. THEY SINNED, AND THEY WERE
00:11:41.60\00:11:43.87
AFRAID OF GOD. SO THEY
WERE AFRAID TO HAVE HIM
00:11:43.87\00:11:49.17
COME INTO THEIR
PRESENCE. SO GOD SAID, OKAY.
00:11:49.17\00:11:51.37
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE
THINGS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO END
00:11:51.37\00:11:58.05
THE COMMUNICATION.
PRAYER IS THAT THING WE CALL
00:11:58.05\00:12:00.62
TALKING WITH GOD. WE
CALL IT PRAYER BECAUSE
00:12:00.62\00:12:03.42
IT'S -- LIKE IT IS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT THAN IT YIEZED TO BE.
00:12:03.42\00:12:07.92
IF I'M TALKING WITH YOU,
I'M NOT PRAYING WITH YOU.
00:12:07.92\00:12:11.73
PRAYER IS LIKE
DESIGNATED TO GOD.
00:12:11.73\00:12:13.80
>> RIGHT. >> BUT REALLY WHAT GOD
00:12:13.80\00:12:16.23
ORIGINALLY INTENDED
WAS WE WOULD JUST TALK.
00:12:16.23\00:12:18.63
WE WOULD JUST TALK. >>
WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE HAVE
00:12:18.63\00:12:21.70
SUCH DIFFICULTY WITH PRAYER?
YOU KNOW, WITH -- WITH MAKING
00:12:21.70\00:12:25.07
TIME FOR PRAYER OR -- WITH JUST
PRAYER PERIOD IN BECAUSE MANY
00:12:25.07\00:12:29.54
TIMES -- HONESTLY, LIKE,
YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAY I'M GOING TO
00:12:29.54\00:12:33.31
PRAYER MEETING, AND A
LOT OF TIMES IT'S LIKE OKAY.
00:12:33.31\00:12:36.69
BECAUSE
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE BORING.
00:12:36.69\00:12:39.62
>> YEAH. >> I NEED TO CLEAR THIS
00:12:39.62\00:12:41.42
UP -- AND THIS IS
LIVE TV. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:12:41.42\00:12:44.66
>> I KNOW IT. I KNOW.
00:12:44.66\00:12:46.13
>> LET ME TAKE THAT BOOK. >>
YEAH, I CAN'T TAKE THAT BACK.
00:12:46.13\00:12:49.60
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
HAPPENS, I THINK, IS THAT MANY
00:12:49.60\00:12:53.17
PEOPLE HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH
PRAYER, JUST PRAYING PERIOD.
00:12:53.17\00:12:56.67
>> UH-HUH. >> WHY
DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
00:12:56.67\00:12:59.57
>> SO OE OF THE REASONS THAT
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PRAYER IS
00:12:59.57\00:13:02.94
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU
SAID, IT'S KIND OF BORING.
00:13:02.94\00:13:06.15
AND I GET TO THIS PLACE WHERE
I FEEL LIKE I'M PRAYING THE SAME
00:13:06.15\00:13:11.45
OLD PRAYERS. I
FEEL LIKE WHAT IS THE
00:13:11.45\00:13:16.12
SIGNIFICANCE OF
THIS? DOES IT REALLY MAKE A
00:13:16.12\00:13:19.53
DIFFERENCE? YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
00:13:19.53\00:13:20.96
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
WHAT I FOUND IS IT'S ONLY
00:13:20.96\00:13:24.03
WHEN WE START -- I THINK,
LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL THAT
00:13:24.03\00:13:28.20
PRAYER HAS. WHEN WE
START REALIZING WHAT
00:13:28.20\00:13:30.71
PRAYER CAN DO, AND THE WAY THAT
PRAYER IS DELIVERED TO US IN THE
00:13:30.71\00:13:36.48
BIBLE THAT MAYBE OUR MINDS AND
HEARTS CAN BE CHANGED A LITTLE
00:13:36.48\00:13:40.82
BIT. TO THOSE
VIEWERS WHO HAVE PRAYED
00:13:40.82\00:13:42.88
ALL OF THEIR LIVES, SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT
00:13:42.88\00:13:47.56
THIS THING CALLED PRAYER, AND
GET RENEWED IN ITS INFLUENCE AND
00:13:47.56\00:13:52.09
POWER, AND THAT'S
WHAT I WANT TO DO TONIGHT.
00:13:52.09\00:13:54.03
>> YES. >> ONE OF
THE REASONS WHY WE
00:13:54.03\00:13:56.46
BECOME SO POLITICAL, IS BECAUSE
WE WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE,
00:13:56.46\00:13:59.47
BUT I WANT TO SAY TONIGHT, THAT
BY AND LARGE, WE REALLY HAVE NO
00:13:59.47\00:14:04.44
CLUE WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS
WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING.
00:14:04.44\00:14:07.78
LIKE WE CAN THINK WE ARE GOING
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THERE, BUT
00:14:07.78\00:14:11.41
THERE'S STRINGING BEING PULLED,
AND CONTROL THAT WE DON'T EVEN
00:14:11.41\00:14:15.25
KNOW. BUT WITH
PRAYER, WE KNOW WE CAN
00:14:15.25\00:14:17.72
MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH PRAYER.
WE HAVE A DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN,
00:14:17.72\00:14:21.26
AND GOD HAS AN AGENDA.
GOD WANTS HIS KINGDOM TO BE
00:14:21.26\00:14:26.66
ACCOMPLISHED ON EARTH AS IT IS
IN HEAVEN, AND THAT'S ALL ABOUT
00:14:26.66\00:14:29.70
ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS.-pWE WANT
TO RENEW OUR EXCITEMENT ABOUT
00:14:29.70\00:14:34.50
PRAYER TONIGHT. AND THE
IMPACT IT CAN HAVE. >> YES.
00:14:34.50\00:14:37.41
YES. >> SO ADAM
AND EVE THEY WERE
00:14:37.41\00:14:39.94
TALKING WITH GOD, AND GOD SAYS I
WANT YOU TO KEEP TALKING TO ME.
00:14:39.94\00:14:45.05
SO HE HELPS THEM TO REALIZE THEY
DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID OF HIM.
00:14:45.05\00:14:50.42
WHO TOLD YOU, YOU WERE
NAKED? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
00:14:50.42\00:14:56.56
BECAUSE THE TRUTH
IS GOD DIDN'T CHANGE.
00:14:56.56\00:14:59.13
THE BIBLE SAYS? JAMES
1:17, HE IS CONSISTENT.
00:14:59.13\00:15:05.87
HIS LOVE IS CONSISTENT.
BUT REREALIZES HE IS DEALING
00:15:05.87\00:15:10.37
WITH A CHANGE IN US, AND
THAT CHANGE CAME THROUGH OUR D
00:15:10.37\00:15:16.04
DD DIS --
DISOBEDIENCE, AND MAYBE
00:15:16.04\00:15:20.98
HE IS COME TO TAKE
US OUT. THEY ARE AFRAID.
00:15:20.98\00:15:24.25
SO GOD HAS TO WORK THROUGH OUR
DYSFUNCTION AND HELP US TO GET
00:15:24.25\00:15:28.96
BACK ON TRACK. BUT
HIS GOAL IS TO GET US BACK
00:15:28.96\00:15:31.46
TO THE IMAGE IN
WHICH WE WERE CREATED.
00:15:31.46\00:15:40.47
[ TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ]
>> THE FIRST GUY I REALLY WANT
00:15:40.47\00:15:42.37
US TO FOCUS ON IS ABRAHAM.
SO ABRAHAM IS IN THIS SITUATION.
00:15:42.37\00:15:48.24
HE IS OUT IN HIS
TENT. HE HAS LEFT HIS HOME.
00:15:48.24\00:15:51.25
HE HAS LEFT HIS FAMILY. HE
HAS LEFT EVERYONE, AND HE IS
00:15:51.25\00:15:54.85
THERE WITH HIS WIFE SARAH, AND
ALL OF HIS SERVANTS AND HE IS
00:15:54.85\00:16:00.52
OUT THERE WITH THE
SHEEP AND EVERYTHING.
00:16:00.52\00:16:03.16
AND THESE THREE STRANGERS START
WALKING UP, AND ONE OF THEM IS
00:16:03.16\00:16:06.86
THE LORD. >> UH-HUH.
00:16:06.86\00:16:08.90
>> AND ABRAHAM IS
THIS HOSPITABLE GUY.
00:16:08.90\00:16:13.27
HE IS LIKE, WAIT, WAIT.
LET ME GET YOU SOME WATER AND
00:16:13.27\00:16:19.07
SOME FOOD. AND THAT
IS WHAT OPENS THE DOOR.
00:16:19.07\00:16:22.68
NOW ABRAHAM IS TALKING TO GOD.
AND -- AND THE LORD SAYS -- YOU
00:16:22.68\00:16:26.78
KNOW, THEY TALK ABOUT PROMISES
TO ABRAHAM AND SARAH AND THEIR
00:16:26.78\00:16:34.49
FUTURE, AN THIS IS REALLY COOL,
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE
00:16:34.49\00:16:38.23
TALK TO GOD -- GOD
IS INTERESTED IN US.
00:16:38.23\00:16:40.46
WE WANTS TO BLESS US. HE DOES.
00:16:40.46\00:16:43.03
BUT HE IS ALSO INTERESTED IN US
BEING INTERESTED IN OTHERS, SO
00:16:43.03\00:16:46.94
BEFORE HE LEAVES -- HE TELLS
ABRAHAM AND SARAH, YOU ARE GOING
00:16:46.94\00:16:51.61
TO HAVE A CHILD. AND
THEY KIND OF LAUGH AT THAT,
00:16:51.61\00:16:56.38
BUT HE SAYS I PROMISE YOU.
AND HE SAYS I'M GOING TO SODOM
00:16:56.38\00:17:03.08
AND GOMORRAH, AND THERE IS A
PROBLEM THERE, AND I'M GOING TO
00:17:03.08\00:17:06.92
CHECK IT OUT. AND
ABRAHAM IMMEDIATELY STEPS
00:17:06.92\00:17:10.66
OUTSIDE OF HIMSELF
AND THINKS ABOUT OTHERS.
00:17:10.66\00:17:16.10
HE THINKS ABOUT HIS NEPHEW
LOT. LOT WASN'T THAT GREAT OF A
00:17:16.10\00:17:23.17
PERSON. THEY HAD TO SPLIT UP.
00:17:23.17\00:17:26.01
IT'S CALLED
DYSFUNCTIONING FAMILY.
00:17:26.01\00:17:28.48
[ LAUGHTER ] >> RIGHT.
00:17:28.48\00:17:29.24
>> I TELL PEOPLE THE CHURCH IS
LIKE FAMILY, AND PEOPLE GET THIS
00:17:29.24\00:17:33.48
FUZZY FEELING LIKE, WE'RE A
-FAMILY. AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE
00:17:33.48\00:17:39.45
SAY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A
FAMILY. AND I SAY HAVE YOU EVER
00:17:39.45\00:17:46.56
SEEN A NON-DYSFUNCTIONAL
FAMILY? CHURCH IS LIKE A FAMILY.
00:17:46.56\00:17:50.70
[ LAUGHTER ] >> RIGHT.
00:17:50.70\00:17:51.97
>> YOU STICK TOGETHER EVEN
THOUGH YOU HAVE GOT ALL OF THIS
00:17:51.97\00:17:55.60
DYSFUNCTION. >> RIGHT.
00:17:55.60\00:17:57.27
>> SO ABRAHAM HAD THIS
DYSFUNCTION WITH LOT AND THEY
00:17:57.27\00:18:02.84
HAD TO SEPARATE. AND
LOT CHOSE THE GREEN STUFF.
00:18:02.84\00:18:09.85
AND ACHE --
ABRAHAM WAS LIKE OKAY.
00:18:09.85\00:18:16.93
SO AS SOON AS HE FINDS OUT THEY
ARE GOING TO WHERE LOT IS, HE IS
00:18:16.93\00:18:21.16
LIKE, I KNOW THINGS AREN'T
GOOD DOWN THERE, IF THERE'S 50
00:18:21.16\00:18:26.53
RIGHTEOUS MEN, WOULD YOU
SPARE SODOM AND GOMORRAH -- HE'S
00:18:26.53\00:18:33.48
THINKING ABOUT
HIS NEPHEW. >> RIGHT.
00:18:33.48\00:18:35.18
>> AS WE COMMUNICATE WITH GOD
AND GET TO KNOW GOD -- AND THIS
00:18:35.18\00:18:39.78
IS WHAT THE BOOK OF GENESIS IS
TEACHING US -- AS WE GET TO KNOW
00:18:39.78\00:18:44.02
GOD, WE START GETTING OUTSIDE OF
OURSELVES AND WE START THINKING
00:18:44.02\00:18:46.99
ABOUT OTHERS. ONE OF
THE REASONS WE'RE NOT
00:18:46.99\00:18:51.56
INCLINED TO PRAY, IS BECAUSE
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE PRAY IT'S
00:18:51.56\00:18:55.80
ALL ABOUT US. BUT GOD
WANTS US TO THINK ABOUT
00:18:55.80\00:19:00.17
OTHERS. AND
THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF
00:19:00.17\00:19:03.27
STUFF TO PRAY FOR. AT
LIGHT BEARERS MINISTRY EVERY
00:19:03.27\00:19:08.78
WEEK WE HAVE CATCH-UP TIME.
AND WE GET PRAYER REQUESTS ON A
00:19:08.78\00:19:13.35
REGULAR BASIS, AND WE READ
THEM ALL, AND WE'LL PRAYER FOR
00:19:13.35\00:19:17.15
DIFFERENT PEOPLE, AND WE'LL
JUST PRAY FOR ALL OF THE PRAYER
00:19:17.15\00:19:20.92
REQUESTS. SOMETIMES
WE HAVE SO MANY THAT
00:19:20.92\00:19:23.12
WE PRAY FOR ALLOF THEM.
AND IT HELPS US TO KNOW WHO ARE
00:19:23.12\00:19:27.13
THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPORTING
THIS MINISTRY AND WRITING IN AND
00:19:27.13\00:19:30.70
ASKING FOR PRAYERS AND
SAYING THEY ARE PRAYING FOR US.
00:19:30.70\00:19:33.77
WE CONNECT WITH THEM.
WE CONNECT WITH PEOPLE.
00:19:33.77\00:19:36.30
AND ABRAHAM WAS CONNECTED WITH
LOT, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD THIS
00:19:36.30\00:19:42.98
DYSFUNCTION. SO 50
-- I'LL SPARE FOR 50 GOD
00:19:42.98\00:19:47.28
STAYS. 45?
00:19:47.28\00:19:48.75
YEAH, I'LL SPARE FOR 40. 30?
00:19:48.75\00:19:53.02
YEAH, I'LL SPARE FOR 30. 10?
00:19:53.02\00:19:58.16
10? NOW WHAT IS
REALLY COOL IS THIS.
00:19:58.16\00:20:02.26
WE PRAY FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE IN BAD SITUATIONS.
00:20:02.26\00:20:05.60
LOT WAS IN A BAD SITUATION.
HE WAS A LITTLE BIT GREEDY, A
00:20:05.60\00:20:09.34
LITTLE BIT FOCUSED ON THE
ECONOMY, A LITTLE BIT FOCUSED
00:20:09.34\00:20:13.31
ON -- MORE THAN
HE WAS ON SPIRITUAL.
00:20:13.31\00:20:15.78
[ LAUGHTER ] >> RIGHT.
00:20:15.78\00:20:16.54
>> WE NEED TO PRAY
FOR PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
00:20:16.54\00:20:18.45
OUR FAMILY, OUR CHURCH, SO
ABRAHAM IS THIS INCREDIBLE GUY,
00:20:18.45\00:20:23.45
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T
TAKE THAT PERSONALLY.
00:20:23.45\00:20:26.45
HE PRAYS FOR LOT TO BE
DELIVERED, AND WE MIGHT BE
00:20:26.45\00:20:31.19
WORRIED, BECAUSE WE HAVE
PEOPLE IN BAD SITUATIONS.
00:20:31.19\00:20:33.50
WE HAVE PEOPLE
WHO ARE IN CITIES.
00:20:33.50\00:20:36.83
WE GOT PEOPLE -- [
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ]
00:20:36.83\00:20:41.00
>> FOR GOD. YOU
KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:20:41.00\00:20:42.64
>> UH-HUH. >> AND WE
NEED TO PRAY FOR THEM.
00:20:42.64\00:20:45.57
GOD DELIVERED LOT. >> UH-HUH.
00:20:45.57\00:20:47.61
>> ALL OF THE MONEY
WENT. ALL OF THE HOUSES WENT.
00:20:47.61\00:20:51.48
ALL OF THE STUFF
WENT. BUT GOD DELIVERED LOT.
00:20:51.48\00:20:54.75
SO PRAYER IS POWERFUL.
>> SOMETIMES YOU HEAR PEOPLE
00:20:54.75\00:20:58.22
SAY, WELL, ALL
YOU CAN DO IS PRAY.
00:20:58.22\00:21:00.79
WELL, YEAH. LIKE
THAT'S -- LIKE THAT'S THE
00:21:00.79\00:21:04.53
LAST RESORT. AND
IT'S NOT THAT EFFECTIVE.
00:21:04.53\00:21:07.23
>> RIGHT. >> ALL WE CAN DO.
00:21:07.23\00:21:10.07
>> WELL, NO. ALL WE
CAN DO IS PRAY -- LIKE WE
00:21:10.07\00:21:13.84
CAN'T DO
ANYTHING BETTER THAN THAT.
00:21:13.84\00:21:17.34
WELL, YOU REALLY CAN'T DO
ANYTHING BETTER THAN THAT.
00:21:17.34\00:21:20.04
>> BECAUSE WHAT WE DO
BEFORE PRAYER IS POLITICAL.
00:21:20.04\00:21:22.78
THAT'S OUR POWER AND STRENGTH.
AND THAT TAKES US TO THE NEXT
00:21:22.78\00:21:27.38
STORY WHICH IS MOSES.
MOSES WAS LIKE A PRINCE IN
00:21:27.38\00:21:31.19
EGYPT. LIKE THIS GUY HAD CLOUT.
00:21:31.19\00:21:32.92
HE WAS A MILITARY
LEADER. HE HAD POSITION.
00:21:32.92\00:21:35.42
HE HAD AUTHORITY, AND HE NEW
FROM AN EARLY AGE THAT GOD HAD
00:21:35.42\00:21:39.76
DELIVERED HIM. SO THE
BABIES WERE BEING KILLED
00:21:39.76\00:21:42.36
AT BIRTH -- WE SEE THIS
HAPPENING IN OUR POLITICAL WORLD
00:21:42.36\00:21:45.50
TODAY. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW
00:21:45.50\00:21:47.47
THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
RIGHT NOW IN OUR COUNTRY.
00:21:47.47\00:21:51.44
AT BIRTH, THESE MALE BABIES WERE
BEING KILLED BY EGYPT, BY THE
00:21:51.44\00:21:57.95
PHARAOH. BUT THE
MID-WIVES WERE KIND OF
00:21:57.95\00:22:00.45
LIKE, WELL, WE
DIDN'T GET THERE IN TIME.
00:22:00.45\00:22:03.25
LIKE THEY WEREN'T INTO IT.
SO WE HAVE THIS MOVEMENT TAKING
00:22:03.25\00:22:06.52
PLACE IN EGYPT, JUST LIKE WE
DO TODAY, WHERE NO, WE'RE NOT GO
00:22:06.52\00:22:14.63
INTO THAT. SO
MOSES IS PROTECTED.
00:22:14.63\00:22:18.13
BUT HE GETS THIS THING AT AN
EARLY AGE WHERE GOD WANTS ME TO
00:22:18.13\00:22:23.74
DELIVER MY PEOPLE,
I'M GOING TO DO THAT.
00:22:23.74\00:22:28.98
AND HE STARTS BY KILLING
AN -EGYPTIAN. THAT'S POLITICS,
00:22:28.98\00:22:35.08
DOING IT OUR WAY WITH OUR
STRENGTH AND MIGHT. AND GOD HAD
00:22:35.08\00:22:44.56
TO TAKE MOSES INTO THE
DESERT FOR 40 YEARS. SO UNLEARN
00:22:44.56\00:22:49.96
EVERYTHING HE HAD LEARNED.
I GUESS ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY.
00:22:49.96\00:22:53.80
FINALLY GOD SAYS. FINALLY.
00:22:53.80\00:22:56.74
>> YEAH. YEAH.
00:22:56.74\00:22:57.54
>> SO 40 YEARS IN, HE SEES A
BUSH BURNING, AND THAT BUSH IS
00:22:57.54\00:23:03.11
THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND HE GOES
UP THERE AND HE STARTS TALKING
00:23:03.11\00:23:06.58
WITH GOD. WHAT
IS TALKING WITH GOD?
00:23:06.58\00:23:08.55
>> PRAYER. >> PRAYER.
00:23:08.55\00:23:09.82
HE STARTS TALKING WITH GOD, AND
AS YOU GO THROUGH -- IT'S REALLY
00:23:09.82\00:23:14.59
INTERESTING, AS YOU GO
THROUGH THE BOOK OF EXODUS.
00:23:14.59\00:23:17.69
YOU START IN EXODUS CHAPTER --
I THINK IT'S CHAPTER 3, AND YOU
00:23:17.69\00:23:23.23
START MOVING THROUGH THE BOOK OF
EXODUS, THERE'S -- I THINK IT'S
00:23:23.23\00:23:27.24
JUST -- IF YOU READ
CHAPTERS -- IF YOU READ CHAPTERS
00:23:27.24\00:23:32.71
6 THROUGH 14, EACH
CHAPTER BEGINS WITH THIS.
00:23:32.71\00:23:37.58
THE LORD SAID UNTO
MOSES. THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES.
00:23:37.58\00:23:42.72
>> UH-HUH. >> THAT'S PRAYER.
00:23:42.72\00:23:45.19
GOD'S TALKING WITH HIM,
RIGHT? >> NOW YOU ARE LOOKING AT
00:23:45.19\00:23:48.79
COMMUNICATION. >> YES.
00:23:48.79\00:23:49.82
>> NOT JUST ONE WAY. NOT
JUST MOSES TALKING TO GOD,
00:23:49.82\00:23:53.50
BUT GOD TALKING TO MOSES.
>> YOU ARE TALKING TO GOD, AND
00:23:53.50\00:23:58.80
HE IS COMMUNICATING BACK.
THE LORD TOLD ME -- WELL, THE
00:23:58.80\00:24:04.97
LORD CAN ACTUALLY
COMMUNICATE WITH US.
00:24:04.97\00:24:07.61
HE CAN IMPRESS US. GOD
TOLD ME TO TALK ABOUT THIS
00:24:07.61\00:24:11.58
SUBJECT. GOD
GAVE ME THIS SUBJECT.
00:24:11.58\00:24:12.98
HE SAID POLITICS
AND PRAYER JAMES.
00:24:12.98\00:24:17.32
THAT'S WHAT I WAN
YOU TO TALK ABOUT.
00:24:17.32\00:24:19.45
I DID A LITTLE OUTLINE, AND AL
OF A SUDDEN IT WAS THIS THOUGHT
00:24:19.45\00:24:24.13
CAME IN AND THIS THOUGHT CAME
IN, AND THIS THOUGHT CAME IN,
00:24:24.13\00:24:27.76
AND THAT'S GOD TALKING TO
ME. IT IS THROUGH HIS WORD.
00:24:27.76\00:24:34.07
GENESIS, EXODUS
-- IT'S IN HIS WORDS.
00:24:34.07\00:24:40.11
I WAS LIKE WHAT
SHOULD I SHARE WITH 3ABN?
00:24:40.11\00:24:43.28
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED.
WHAT SHOULD I TALK ABOUT?
00:24:43.28\00:24:47.25
AND GOD SAID, BOOM, THIS IS
WHAT I WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT.
00:24:47.25\00:24:51.65
AND SO MOSES STARTS LISTENING TO
WHAT GOD IS SAYING, AND AS MOSES
00:24:51.65\00:24:56.19
CONNECTS WITH GOD TO GET
HIS PEOPLE OUT OF EGYPT, GOD
00:24:56.19\00:25:00.06
DELIVERS HIS
PEOPLE THROUGH PRAYER.
00:25:00.06\00:25:01.66
THAT'S THE COMMUNICATION, ALL OF
PHARAOH'S ARMY, POLITICAL MIGHT,
00:25:01.66\00:25:10.71
MILITARY MIGHT COULDN'T
STOP THE POWER OF PRAYER.
00:25:10.71\00:25:13.21
WE THINK THAT WAS MOSES ROD
-- NO, THAT WAS THE POWER OF
00:25:13.21\00:25:18.35
PRAYER. THAT WAS
MOSES TALKING WITH GOD
00:25:18.35\00:25:20.32
AND GOD TALKING WITH
MOSES, THE POWER OF PRAYER.
00:25:20.32\00:25:23.85
SO THE OLD TESTAMENT IS TELLING
US THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER.
00:25:23.85\00:25:27.79
IF ADAM AND EVE IN THE
GARDEN -- IF THE SERPENT WOULD
00:25:27.79\00:25:32.86
HAVE SAID, EVE, THIS
TREE -- IT WILL -- IT WILL --
00:25:32.86\00:25:40.80
[ TECHNICAL
DIFFICULTIES ] >> OH, REALLY?
00:25:40.80\00:25:42.54
OH, MAYBE I SHOULD TRY THAT.
TALK TO GOD ABOUT IT FIRST.
00:25:42.54\00:25:47.28
TALK TO GOD ABOUT
IT FIRST. >> RIGHT.
00:25:47.28\00:25:50.71
>> AND THAT'S HOW WE SEE THINGS
WORK OUT FOR GOD'S WILL -- GOD'S
00:25:50.71\00:25:54.92
PURPOSES ARE WORKED OUT WHEN
WE TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT FIRST.
00:25:54.92\00:25:58.42
AND DAVID DID
THIS. HE IS OUR NEXT GUY.
00:25:58.42\00:26:01.32
DAVID HAD THIS
INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH GOD.
00:26:01.32\00:26:04.06
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN GOD'S
PEOPLE LISTENED TO HIM AND THEY
00:26:04.06\00:26:08.26
ACCOMPLISHED HIS WILL, AND THERE
WERE TIMES -- EVEN WHEN THEY
00:26:08.26\00:26:13.00
WENT INTO THE NEW PROMISE LAND,
JOSHUA AND MOSES COULDN'T GO IN.
00:26:13.00\00:26:20.91
ERIN WAS BURIED ALSO.
AND JOSHUA SAYS I WANT SEVEN
00:26:20.91\00:26:24.55
DAYS -- EACH DAY I WANT YOU TO
GO AROUND AND BLOW THE TRUMPETS.
00:26:24.55\00:26:29.45
THEY DO EXACTLY WHAT GOD SAYS.
THERE'S PRAYER, COMMUNICATION,
00:26:29.45\00:26:33.09
AND IT COMES DOWN. >> UH-HUH.
00:26:33.09\00:26:36.52
>> AND THIS LITTLE TINY CITY.
THERE IS NOT A LOT GOING ON
00:26:36.52\00:26:41.73
THERE. LIKE MAN,
WE JUST TOOK DOWN
00:26:41.73\00:26:45.77
JERICHO, LET'S SEND A FEW
HUNDRED PEOPLE AND TAKE DOWN
00:26:45.77\00:26:53.61
THIS CITY. THEY
WENT IN THERE, AND THEY
00:26:53.61\00:26:56.11
WERE DEFEATED. AND GOD
SAID HERE IS WHAT I WANT
00:26:56.11\00:26:58.85
YOU TO DO. RIGHT?
00:26:58.85\00:27:00.58
>> UH-HUH. >> SO
WHEN WE TALK TO GOD AND
00:27:00.58\00:27:02.75
GOD TALKS TO US, THAT'S PRAYER,
THEN THAT UNLEASHES POWER.
00:27:02.75\00:27:07.89
DAVID SAME THING.
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN DAVID
00:27:07.89\00:27:14.83
LISTENED TO GOD. AND
-- BUT DAVID WAS -- AGAIN,
00:27:14.83\00:27:17.80
HE WAS IN THIS POLITICAL ARENA.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POLITICAL
00:27:17.80\00:27:23.10
ARENAS HERE, RIGHT? WE
TALKS ABOUT SITUATIONS THAT
00:27:23.10\00:27:26.24
INVOLVE KINGS AND PRESIDENTS
AND EARTHLY POWERS, AND THIS IS
00:27:26.24\00:27:31.65
LEADING UP TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY
IN EARTH'S HISTORY, AND DO WE
00:27:31.65\00:27:37.35
FOLLOW THE BIBLICAL OUTLINE?
THE MANDATE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN
00:27:37.35\00:27:43.16
US? OR DO WE
FAIL LIKE ABRAHAM OR
00:27:43.16\00:27:46.76
MOSES OR DAVID DID AT TIMES
AND TRUST IN OUR OWN POWER,
00:27:46.76\00:27:52.03
STRENGTH, AND
POLITICS? >> RIGHT.
00:27:52.03\00:27:54.84
>> SO WHEN WE GET TO DAVID,
DAVID'S SITUATION IS REALLY LIKE
00:27:54.84\00:27:58.97
OURS IN SO MANY
WAYS. THERE WAS A PRESIDING
00:27:58.97\00:28:03.28
PRESIDENT -- KING, HIS SAME
WAS SOL, AND HE DOESN'T DOING SO
00:28:03.28\00:28:13.59
GREAT. SO GOD SAID
I HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE
00:28:13.59\00:28:16.19
TO BRING IN.
AND SOL IS LIKE, NO!
00:28:16.19\00:28:21.66
NO! AND SOL
FIGURES OUT THAT DAVID
00:28:21.66\00:28:23.70
IS GOING TO BE NEXT. SO
HE STARTS SLANDERING HIM, AND
00:28:23.70\00:28:29.20
MISREPRESENTING HIM, AND
HE EVEN TRIES TO KILL HIM.
00:28:29.20\00:28:31.81
AND SO DAVID TAKES OFF, SO YOU
HAVE A DIVIDED NATION -- HELLO.
00:28:31.81\00:28:38.31
THIS GUY AND THIS GUY, TWO
LEADERS, BOTH CALLED, AND HOW IS
00:28:38.31\00:28:43.79
THIS GOING TO COME TOGETHER FOR
THE REST OF THE NATION, BECAUSE
00:28:43.79\00:28:48.36
THEY ARE DIVIDED.
SO WHAT DOES DAVID DO?
00:28:48.36\00:28:53.56
IT'S INTERESTING, BECAUSE DAVID
HAD OPPORTUNITY TO BE POLITICAL,
00:28:53.56\00:28:59.10
TO TAKE CONTROL
OF THE SITUATION.
00:28:59.10\00:29:00.87
HE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO
TAKE SO SOLIZ -- SOL'S LIVE.
00:29:00.87\00:29:11.25
AND WE HAVE TO ASK THE
QUESTION WHY DID DAVID DO THAT?
00:29:11.25\00:29:16.12
WE WANT TO GO TO PSALMS.
REMEMBER, PRAYER IS TALKING TO
00:29:16.12\00:29:24.29
GOD. >> RIGHT.
00:29:24.29\00:29:24.93
>> AND IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THESE TIMES IN PSALMS WHERE
00:29:24.93\00:29:30.07
DAVID IS ANGRY. >> YES.
00:29:30.07\00:29:31.83
>> HE IS REALLY MAD. >>
YES HE'S ASKING FOR -- WHERE
00:29:31.83\00:29:41.58
HE'S PRAYING LIKE,
PLEASE KILL MY ENEMIES.
00:29:41.58\00:29:44.45
>> TAKE THEM OUT. >> YES.
00:29:44.45\00:29:46.68
>> AND THIS IS
ONE OF THOSE PSALMS.
00:29:46.68\00:29:50.62
BUT I THINK THAT PLANS,
THERE IS SOMETHING MORE TO THIS.
00:29:50.62\00:29:54.99
I WANT TO CALL THIS
WHAT DO DO WITH ANGER 101.
00:29:54.99\00:29:59.79
>> ANGER MANAGEMENT.
>> ANGER MANAGEMENT 101.
00:29:59.79\00:30:04.53
[ LAUGHTER ] >> UH-HUH.
00:30:04.53\00:30:06.87
>> THERE ARE MANY PSALMS, BUT
THIS WOULD BE ONE SIMPLE OUTLINE
00:30:06.87\00:30:13.54
THAT WE CAN DO. SO THE
THING I LIKE ABOUT THIS
00:30:13.54\00:30:16.54
PSALM IS THAT
THERE'S A CONTEXT TO IT.
00:30:16.54\00:30:20.08
SO IN PSALM 59, WE'RE TOLD
THAT THIS PSALM -- THIS PSALM
00:30:20.08\00:30:24.45
IS -- WAS WRITTEN WHEN SOL SENT
AND WATCHED DAVID'S HOUSE TO
00:30:24.45\00:30:31.69
KILL HIM. SO THIS
IS THE FIRST TIME THAT
00:30:31.69\00:30:34.20
DAVID REALIZES
THAT THIS GUY IS AF
00:30:34.20\00:30:44.81
AFRAID. [
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ]
00:30:44.81\00:30:45.77
TRIES TO KILL HIM, AND DAVID
FLEES AND GOES TO HIS HOUSE.
00:30:45.77\00:30:49.21
AND HOUSE SENDS HIM INTO THE
HOUSE TO WATCH IT, TO GET DAVID.
00:30:49.21\00:30:53.48
AND THEN MICHAEL, SOL'S
DAUGHTER, FINALY SOL SAYS I
00:30:53.48\00:31:05.36
WANT THE WHOLE BED. AND
THEY DISCOVER IT'S A DUMMY.
00:31:05.36\00:31:09.16
AND MICHAEL SAID HE
SAID HE WAS GOING TO KILL ME.
00:31:09.16\00:31:13.57
SO -- I MEAN
THIS IS BAD. >> YEAH.
00:31:13.57\00:31:15.80
>> AND DAVID IS GONE, AND THIS
IS THE PSALM THAT HE WRITES IN
00:31:15.80\00:31:20.08
THAT CONTEXT. OKAY?
00:31:20.08\00:31:21.71
>> UH-HUH. >>
WE'RE GOING TO OUTLINE
00:31:21.71\00:31:25.48
THIS -- AND A NICE ACRONYM
FOR THIS PSALM WILL BE HELP.
00:31:25.48\00:31:34.99
H-E-L-P. HELP.
00:31:34.99\00:31:36.93
>> OKAY. >> PSALM 59:  1-2.
00:31:36.93\00:31:51.27
OKAY. SO THE
ACRONYM, HELP -- H, HELP
00:31:51.27\00:32:00.88
ME GOD. THE FIRST
THING THAT HE CALLS US
00:32:00.88\00:32:03.62
TO DO IN A COUNTRY THAT IS
DIVIDED POLITICALLY IS TO REACH
00:32:03.62\00:32:08.96
OUT TO GOD FOR HELP. NOW
LET'S READ -- YOU CRON WOULD
00:32:08.96\00:32:16.16
YOU READ VERSES 3 AND 4. >>
THE MIGHTY GATHER AGAINST ME,
00:32:16.16\00:32:21.97
NOT FOR MY TRANSGRESSION NOR
FOR MY SIN, THEY RUN AND PREPARE
00:32:21.97\00:32:27.04
THEMSELVES
THROUGH NO FAULT OF MINE.
00:32:27.04\00:32:29.14
YOU, THEREFORE, OH, LORD,
GOD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, A WAY TO
00:32:29.14\00:32:34.72
PUNISH ALL OF THE NATIONS,
DO NOT BE MERCIFUL TO ANY WICKED
00:32:34.72\00:32:41.29
TRANSGRESSORS. >> SO
BEFORE WE GET TO 5 -- THE
00:32:41.29\00:32:43.99
NEXT LETTER IN HELP IS E.
AND THAT STANDS FOR EXPLAIN.
00:32:43.99\00:32:48.96
HE ASKS FOR HIS HELP, AND
THEN HE EXPLAINS THE SITUATION.
00:32:48.96\00:32:53.30
HEY, THEY ARE
LYING IN WAIT FOR ME.
00:32:53.30\00:32:56.47
BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
WRONG. I WAS TRYING TO HELP THE
00:32:56.47\00:32:59.87
SITUATION. >> RIGHT.
00:32:59.87\00:33:01.38
RIGHT. >> SO HELP, EXPLAIN.
00:33:01.38\00:33:03.68
ALL RIGHT. NOW THE
NEXT ONE IS THE VERSE
00:33:03.68\00:33:07.15
YOU READ, VERSE 5, AND I
WANT YOU TO ADD TO THAT VERSE,
00:33:07.15\00:33:13.42
YVONNE, VERSE 11 --
NO, EXCUSE ME -- VERSE 13.
00:33:13.42\00:33:20.10
>> CONSUME THEM IN WRATH.
CONSUME THEM THAT THEY MAY NOT
00:33:20.10\00:33:25.33
BE. AND LET THEM
KNOW THAT GOD RULES
00:33:25.33\00:33:27.57
IN JACOB TO THEN OF
THE EARTH. >> ALL RIGHT.
00:33:27.57\00:33:33.38
L BASICALLY DAVID
JUST LETS GOD HAVE IT.
00:33:33.38\00:33:36.38
WHAT WE DO IS WE
HAVE PEOPLE HAVE IT.
00:33:36.38\00:33:39.18
YOU GET ON FACEBOOK AND
YOU START READING SOME OF THAT
00:33:39.18\00:33:44.19
STUFF, AND I'M EMBARRASSED ABOUT
SOME OF THE THINGS I SEE MY
00:33:44.19\00:33:51.53
CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND
SISTERS WRITE ON FACEBOOK.
00:33:51.53\00:33:55.00
IT'S LIKE, WE
SHOULD BE PRAYING FOR THEM.
00:33:55.00\00:33:57.17
TO WRITE THAT KIND OF
STUFF, THAT'S NOT CHRISTIAN.
00:33:57.17\00:34:00.34
YOU SEE WHAT
I'M SAYING? >> I DO.
00:34:00.34\00:34:02.67
>> BUT DAVID COULD
HAVE GONE IN THAT DIRECTION.
00:34:02.67\00:34:04.97
HE COULD HAVE. BUT HE
LET GO HAVE EVERYTHING
00:34:04.97\00:34:07.94
HE WAS FEELING. SO WE
THINK, OH, MAN, WHAT IS
00:34:07.94\00:34:11.51
WRONG WITH DAVID?
LIKE, HAS HE LOST HIS MIND.
00:34:11.51\00:34:15.48
BUT DAVID IS TALKING TO GOD NOW.
YOU CAN TALK TO GOD LIKE THIS.
00:34:15.48\00:34:20.32
JOB TALKED TO GOD LIKETHIS.
LET ME GIVE YOU A NEW TESTAMENT
00:34:20.32\00:34:25.33
VE VERSE.
00:34:25.33\00:34:30.37
EPHESIANS 4:26. THIS
IS A REALLY INTERESTING
00:34:30.37\00:34:36.64
VERSE. BE ANGRY AND SIN NOT.
00:34:36.64\00:34:39.71
DON'T LET THE SUN
GO DOWN ON YOUR WRATH.
00:34:39.71\00:34:44.78
WHAT? WHAT?
00:34:44.78\00:34:48.25
BE ANGRY AND SIN NOT.
THAT'S WHAT DAVID IS DOING HERE.
00:34:48.25\00:34:51.62
HE IS ANGRY, AND HE LETS
GOD HAVE IT, H, HELP ME GOD, E,
00:34:51.62\00:34:58.89
EXPLAIN MY SITUATION,
L, HE LETS GOD HAVE IT.
00:34:58.89\00:35:02.73
HE GETS ALL OF THE ANGER OUT.
SO HE IS SAYING PRAYER IS KIND
00:35:02.73\00:35:08.14
OF BORING AND -- YEAH, PRAYER.
WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF
00:35:08.14\00:35:12.77
GOING ON IN THE WORLD RIGHT.
THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF YOU CAN
00:35:12.77\00:35:17.61
BE ANGRY ABOUT. WHEN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOE
00:35:17.61\00:35:22.75
MIDWIFES BEING ASKED TO KILL
THOSE BABIES, WE CAN TELL GOD
00:35:22.75\00:35:26.96
WHAT WE'RE THINKING RIGHT NOW.
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T LET THAT
00:35:26.96\00:35:29.99
OUT, IT'S GOING
TO COME OUT. >> YEAH.
00:35:29.99\00:35:33.03
>> YOU ARE GOING TO GENERATE
THAT TOWARDS PEOPLE, AND REALLY,
00:35:33.03\00:35:36.93
WE JUST NEED TO
GIVE THAT TO GOD.
00:35:36.93\00:35:39.37
>> YES. >> AND THEN --
00:35:39.37\00:35:42.54
[ TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ]
I WANT YOU TO READ, NOW, VERSE
00:35:42.54\00:35:46.41
16 AND 17. >>
YOU WANT TO READ IT.
00:35:46.41\00:35:49.08

PRAISES? >> YES.
00:36:08.26\00:36:08.93
>> YES. >> BUT YOU ARE IN THIS
00:36:08.93\00:36:12.93
SITUATION, DAVID WHERE SOL
IS TRYING TO KIL YOU, AND YOU
00:36:12.93\00:36:15.47
CAN'T EVEN GO TO YOUR HOUSE,
AND YOU HAVE TO SNEAK OUT OF THE
00:36:15.47\00:36:19.01
WINDOW, AND YOU ARE
BEING PURSUED -- ARE WE TALKING
00:36:19.01\00:36:23.18
REVELATION 13 RIGHT NOW?
YOU DON'T HAVE ANYPLACE YOU CAN
00:36:23.18\00:36:26.78
GO, NO PROTECTION FROM ANYONE,
AND YOU ARE PRAISING GOD?
00:36:26.78\00:36:30.45

>> H, HELP ME, E,

00:36:33.22\00:36:39.46
AND P, PRAISE GOD.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE MORE
00:36:39.46\00:36:43.03
LETTER, THIS IS
THE SURPRAISE LETTER.
00:36:43.03\00:36:49.07
S. WE NEED HELPS.
00:36:49.07\00:36:50.67
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO
GET THIS OUT OF PSALM 59.
00:36:50.67\00:36:54.38
WE'RE GOING TO GET
THIS OUT OF THE STORY.
00:36:54.38\00:36:56.64
THE STORY CONTINUES, SO DAVID
IS-OUT IN THE WILDERNESS, AND
THERE IS A LOT OF MEN THAT
00:36:56.64\00:37:03.52
GATHER WITH HIM AND SUPPORT
HIM. THE BIBLE SAYS THEY ARE
00:37:03.52\00:37:06.76
DISGRUNTLED AND STRUGGLING
WITH THE SAME THINGS THAT HE IS
00:37:06.76\00:37:09.59
STRUGGLING WITH, THE POLITICAL
MANEUVERS, THE COMPROMISE, THE
00:37:09.59\00:37:14.10
IMMORALITY THAT IS TAKING
PLACE IN THE NATION, OKAY?
00:37:14.10\00:37:16.73
>> UH-HUH. >> I'M
TRYING TO MAKE THIS
00:37:16.73\00:37:19.97
PRACTICAL FOR US TODAY. >> YEAH.
00:37:19.97\00:37:21.97
>> SO THEY FIND THEMSELVES
IN A CAVE -- NOW SOL IS PURSUING
00:37:21.97\00:37:26.01
THEM. HE IS
GOING TO TAKE THEM OUT.
00:37:26.01\00:37:28.28
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR
POLITICAL WORLD, THEY ARE COMING
00:37:28.28\00:37:31.31
AFTER YOU, AND THEY ARE GOING TO
TAKE YOU OUT, SO HE IS HIDING IN
00:37:31.31\00:37:36.62
THIS CAVE, AND SOL COMES IN WITH
ONE OF THE MEN, AND DAVID'S MEN
00:37:36.62\00:37:41.99
ARE LIKE, WOE. PERFECT.
00:37:41.99\00:37:43.43
THIS IS IT. THIS
IS THE ANSWER TO THE
00:37:43.43\00:37:46.86
PRAYER. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:37:46.86\00:37:47.96
>> WOO-HOO. DAVID
JUST SAY THE WORD, BRO.
00:37:47.96\00:37:50.80
JUST SAY THE WORD. >> RIGHT.
00:37:50.80\00:37:52.83
>> LET ME TAKE YOU BACK TO
WHEN I FIRST BECAME A CHRISTIAN.
00:37:52.83\00:37:57.14
I'M A BRAND NEW
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN.
00:37:57.14\00:38:02.71
I WAS READING THE
BIBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:38:02.71\00:38:05.18
I WAS RAISED CATHOLIC.
AND I'M READING THE STORY FOR
00:38:05.18\00:38:09.52
THE FIRST TIME, AND I'M
REJOICING WITH DAVID'S MEN, I'M
00:38:09.52\00:38:14.42
LIKE HALLELUJAH, GOD
IS SO GOOD. TAKE HIM OUT.
00:38:14.42\00:38:17.49
>> YOU GOT HIM
RIGHT THERE. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:38:17.49\00:38:19.33
>> AND DAVID SAYS,
HUH-UH. I GO DID I GET THE RIGHT
00:38:19.33\00:38:26.74
TRANSLATION OF THE
BIBLE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HUH-UH.
00:38:26.74\00:38:30.11
THE FIRST TIME I READ THAT I
COULDN'T -- I WAS CONVERTED, BUT
00:38:30.11\00:38:33.84
I HAD TO MATURE. I HAD TO GROW.
00:38:33.84\00:38:36.11
>> YES. >> A LOT
OF PEOPLE THING WHEN
00:38:36.11\00:38:38.98
YOU FIRST COME TO JESUS YOU
KNOW EVERYTHING -- NO, YOU ARE A
00:38:38.98\00:38:43.45
YOUNG CHICK. AND YOU
HAVE TO GROW AND MATURE,
00:38:43.45\00:38:47.46
THE SEED, THEN THE EAR, THEN THE
FULL PLANT -- YOU KNOW, YOU ARE
00:38:47.46\00:38:54.73
MATURING. I HAD
TO LEARN SOMETHING.
00:38:54.73\00:38:57.27
BECAUSE I WAS
SURPRISED. H-E-L-P-S, SURPRISED.
00:38:57.27\00:39:04.67
>> HE SAYS NO, WE'RE
NOT GOING TO ATTACK HIM.
00:39:04.67\00:39:07.84
>> CAN YOU
IMAGINE HIS SOLDIERS --
00:39:07.84\00:39:10.35
>> THEY WERE LIKE -- >>
WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF THAT?
00:39:10.35\00:39:12.85
THEY ARE LIKE WHAT IN
THE WORLD, HE IS RIGHT HERE.
00:39:12.85\00:39:16.55
>> AND THEY ARE TRAINED FOR
BATTLE, SO THEY AR WANTING TO
00:39:16.55\00:39:19.52
DO SOMETHING. >>
THEY ARE WANTING TO DO
00:39:19.52\00:39:21.82
SOMETHING POLITICAL. BUT
DAVID HAS BEEN TALKING TO
00:39:21.82\00:39:24.13
GOD, AND WHEN HE TALKS TO
GOD, ALL OF THE ANGER IS GONE.
00:39:24.13\00:39:28.66
HE IS NOT ANGRY
ANYMORE. HE GAVE IT ALL TO GOD.
00:39:28.66\00:39:33.07
WE'RE JUST HOLDING IT IN, AND
WE'RE READY TO LET PEOPLE HAVE
00:39:33.07\00:39:37.91
IT, AND WE FEEL BETTER.
>> I LIKE THAT POINT THAT YOU
00:39:37.91\00:39:41.01
JUST BROUGHT UP, BECAUSE EVEN
WHEN -- SOMETIMES WHEN WE GIVE
00:39:41.01\00:39:45.71
IT TO GOD OR WE THINK WE GAVE
IT TO GOD, WE STILL HAVE THE
00:39:45.71\00:39:50.95
RESIDUE, AND WE'RE
STILL HOLDING ON TO IT.
00:39:50.95\00:39:53.29
>> WE'RE STILL HOLDING ON.
>> I'M STILL MAD AT THIS PERSON
00:39:53.29\00:39:58.23
AND THAT PERSON -- SO
WE'RE STILL HOLDING ON TO IT.
00:39:58.23\00:40:03.00
BUT DAVID GAVE IT TO GOD
AND REALLY GAVE IT TO HIM.
00:40:03.00\00:40:06.30
>> SO WHEN SOL DIES -- AND THIS
IS SO BEAUTIFUL -- PRAYER IS
00:40:06.30\00:40:11.01
POWERFUL. >> UH-HUH.
00:40:11.01\00:40:12.34
>> PRAYER NOT ONLY CHANGES US,
PRAISE GOD IT CHANGES US, BUT IT
00:40:12.34\00:40:16.51
ALSO TAKES CARE
OF OUR SITUATIONS.
00:40:16.51\00:40:18.58
GOD WORKS OUT THE SITUATION.
AND DAVID HAD TO WAIT A LONG
00:40:18.58\00:40:21.95
TIME. IT DIDN'T
HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY.
00:40:21.95\00:40:23.79
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS
WHEN DAVID -- DAVID WAS TESTED
00:40:23.79\00:40:27.82
AGAIN. HE HAD
ANOTHER OCCASION WHEN HE
00:40:27.82\00:40:29.46
WENT INTO THE CAMP AND HE COULD
HAVE KILLED SOL THE NEXT TIME,
00:40:29.46\00:40:35.83
AND HE PASSED AGAIN. AND
SOL KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND
00:40:35.83\00:40:39.77
WORSE, DEEPER IMMORALITY,
SEANCE, THE WHOLE THING, SO, YOU
00:40:39.77\00:40:45.41
KNOW, COME ON.
CHRISTIANS -- LET'S LOOK AT THE
00:40:45.41\00:40:50.18
BIBLE HERE AND
SEE WHAT DAVID DOES.
00:40:50.18\00:40:53.58
GOD SET UP KINGS,
GOD PULLS DOWN KINGS.
00:40:53.58\00:40:57.49
THAT'S OUR MANDATES. SO
DAVID KEEPS TALKING TO GOD.
00:40:57.49\00:41:01.56
AND THEN IN TIME, GOD IS THE ONE
THAT TAKES CARE OF IT, AND DAVID
00:41:01.56\00:41:05.56
WEEPS WHEN SOL -- THE
NEWS OF SOLIZ DEATH COMES.
00:41:05.56\00:41:09.90
HE HAS A HEART
LIKE GOD. YOU KNOW?
00:41:09.90\00:41:14.30
GOD WANTED SOL TO BE SAVED.
AND THAT'S THE SAME SPIRIT THAT
00:41:14.30\00:41:18.07
GOD WANTS TO PUT IN US TODAY
IN RELATION TO OUR POLITICAL
00:41:18.07\00:41:22.74
LEADERS, TO ALL OF
THE POLITICAL PARTIES.
00:41:22.74\00:41:25.18
THE GREATEST CHALLENGE WE HAVE
IS TO PRAY FOR THE OTHER PARTY,
00:41:25.18\00:41:29.55
THE ONES WE DON'T LIKE. >> YES.
00:41:29.55\00:41:32.45
YES. >> AND
DAVID HAD THAT, AND HE
00:41:32.45\00:41:34.39
GOT IT IN PRAYER. >>
DEFINE POLITICS IN THE
00:41:34.39\00:41:37.93
WORKPLACE TOO, RIGHT? SO
SOME OF THESE SAME SCENARIOS
00:41:37.93\00:41:41.26
THAT YO ARE BRINGING UP
WOULD BE IN THE WORKPLACE.
00:41:41.26\00:41:46.07
SOMEBODY WANTING THAT PROMOTION
OR FEELING LIKE THEY SHOULD BE
00:41:46.07\00:41:50.21
IN A POSITION THAT SOMEBODY ELSE
IS IN, SO THEY ARE TRYING TO
00:41:50.21\00:41:55.24
TEAR THEM DOWN
-- >> TAKE CONTROL.
00:41:55.24\00:41:57.11
>> YEAH, SO WHEN YOU ARE AWARE
OF THAT, YOU SHOULD BE PRAYING
00:41:57.11\00:42:01.62
FOR THAT PERSON
THAT IS ENVIOUS TO YOU.
00:42:01.62\00:42:05.42
>> AND PRAYING TO GOD FOR THE
DIFFICULTIES THEY ARE BRINGING
00:42:05.42\00:42:09.39
TO YOU, THEY DID
THIS TO ME -- UP TO GOD.
00:42:09.39\00:42:12.49
AND ONE OF THE PLACES THAT
POLITICS COMES IN MORE OFTEN
00:42:12.49\00:42:16.43
THAN IT SHOULD IS THE CHURCH.
CHURCHES CAN BE VERY POLITICAL.
00:42:16.43\00:42:20.34
HERE WE ARE -- WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE A CHURCH.
00:42:20.34\00:42:23.51
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE --
COMMUNICATION WITH GOD IS
00:42:23.51\00:42:28.14
SUPPOSED TO BE NUMBER 1.
AND WE SPENDING MORE TIME
00:42:28.14\00:42:35.48
TALKING BAD ABOUT
PEOPLE THAN TO GIVE IT TO GOD.
00:42:35.48\00:42:38.32
AND THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL COME
AROUND IS WHEN WE LEARN THIS
00:42:38.32\00:42:43.19
LESSON. AND THAT'S
WHEN WE GET INTO THE
00:42:43.19\00:42:45.23
NEW TESTAMENT. AND
THAT'S OUR NEXT EXPERIENCE
00:42:45.23\00:42:49.90
IN PRAYER, AND HERE IT
IS. I'LL SET UP THE SCENARIO.
00:42:49.90\00:42:56.14
JESUS IS WITH HIS DISCIPLES,
AND THIS GUY -- I MEAN, THIS
00:42:56.14\00:43:00.78
GUY -- OUR SAVIOR, OUR LORD,
SETS AN EXAMPLE OF PRAYER THAT
00:43:00.78\00:43:04.98
IS -- NONE OF US ARE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO MEET THAT.
00:43:04.98\00:43:08.48
HE PRAYED NIGHT --
ALL NIGHT SOMETIMES.
00:43:08.48\00:43:13.09
THE DISCIPLES ARE SLEEPING,
AND HE IS JUST STEADY, STEADY.
00:43:13.09\00:43:18.03
AND HE DIES AND HE IS
RESURRECTED AND HE SPENDS SOME
00:43:18.03\00:43:23.43
TIME, BUT HE HAS
TO LEAVE THE CHURCH.
00:43:23.43\00:43:25.80
AND THE DISCIPLES ARE
FIGHTING FOR THIS POSITION.
00:43:25.80\00:43:30.31
IT'S ALL POLITICS
FOR THEM. >> RIGHT.
00:43:30.31\00:43:33.14
RIGHT. >> AND
IT'S REALLY HARD TALK
00:43:33.14\00:43:35.41
JESUS KNOWS THAT IN THEIR
SITUATION, IN THE SITUATION OF
00:43:35.41\00:43:39.75
THE EARLY CHURCH, THERE IS
NO ROOM FOR A NEW RELIGION.
00:43:39.75\00:43:43.65
YOU HAVE THE JEWS ON ONE
SIDE, AND THE ROMANS ON TH OTHER
00:43:43.65\00:43:48.36
SIDE, YOU KNOW WHAT
I SAYING? >> UH-HUH.
00:43:48.36\00:43:52.36
>> HARRAH HAS JEWISH BLOOD, AND
HE IS TRYING TO KILL THIS BABY.
00:43:52.36\00:43:59.77
THERE'S NO ROOM
FOR A NEW RELIGION.
00:43:59.77\00:44:02.50
THE DISCIPLES AREN'T UNITED,
AND YOU HAVE THESE RELIGIOUS AND
00:44:02.50\00:44:07.81
POLITICAL POWERS THAT ARE NOT
EVEN GOING TO LET THEM HAVE A
00:44:07.81\00:44:12.18
SQUARE FOOT OF TERRITORY, RIGHT?
YOU ARE NOT PUTTING UP A STAKE,
00:44:12.18\00:44:17.09
OR SIGN, OR WORSHIP,
NOTHING. AND THEY ARE FIGHTING.
00:44:17.09\00:44:20.86
SO HOW IS THAT
ALL GOING TO WORK?
00:44:20.86\00:44:22.56
THEN YOU GO TO
THE UPPER ROOM. >> AH.
00:44:22.56\00:44:25.16
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND
THE DISCIPLES ARE IN
00:44:25.16\00:44:28.46
THERE. THEY ARE
IN THE UPPER ROOM.
00:44:28.46\00:44:30.70
AND I CAN SEE THEM, PETER IS
LIKE, MAN, DON'T KNOW WHY I WAS
00:44:30.70\00:44:35.70
SO SELF RIGHT HOUSE AND SAYING I
WASN'T GOING TO FORSAKE CHRIST,
00:44:35.70\00:44:41.34
YOU NEED TO FORGIVE ME
FOR THAT. THAT WAS BAD.
00:44:41.34\00:44:44.25
AND THOMAS IS LIKE, YEAH, I
CAN'T BELIEVE I DOUBTED ALL OF
00:44:44.25\00:44:47.88
YOU GUYS -- LIKE I SHOULD
HAVE JUST LISTENED TO YOU.
00:44:47.88\00:44:51.89
WHY WAS I LIKE, SO DOUBTFUL, AND
THEN THEY ARE ALL LIKE, YEAH,
00:44:51.89\00:44:56.36
AND THE LADIES --
BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THERE TOO.
00:44:56.36\00:45:00.23
>> RIGHT. >> YOU
TOLD US THE LORD WASN'T
00:45:00.23\00:45:04.13
THERE, AND HE HAD RISEN --
LUKE 24 SAYS THEY THOUGHT IT WAS
00:45:04.13\00:45:09.70
FOOLISHNESS. THEY
WERE THE FIRST ONES TO
00:45:09.70\00:45:11.87
PREACH THE GOSPEL, WOMEN IN
MINISTRY PREACHING THE GOSPEL,
00:45:11.87\00:45:17.88
RIGHT? AND THAT'S
ANOTHER THING THAT IS
00:45:17.88\00:45:19.88
REALLY IMPORTANT. I
BELIEVE THAT MEN ARE CALLED TO
00:45:19.88\00:45:22.82
LEADERSHIP, BUT THERE IS A
PLACE FOR WOMEN IN PREACHING AND
00:45:22.82\00:45:25.49
SHARING AND TEACHING,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:45:25.49\00:45:28.16
>> UH-HUH. >> WE
HAVE A PRECEDENT IN THE
00:45:28.16\00:45:31.63
BIBLE FOR MEN TO STEP INTO THAT
POSITION OF LEADERSHIP, BUT WE
00:45:31.63\00:45:35.46
ALSO HAVE A PLACE
FOR WOMEN TO BE THERE.
00:45:35.46\00:45:38.43
THESE WOMEN WERE PREACHING THE
GOSPEL, AND THE GUYS ARE LIKE
00:45:38.43\00:45:47.51
THAT'S CRAZY, AND THEN AS
THEY ARE CONFESSING AND HUMBLING
00:45:47.51\00:45:53.38
THEMSELVES REVELATION 8 SAYS
THEIR PRAYERS GO UP TO HEAVEN
00:45:53.38\00:45:58.85
THEY ARE MANGLED WITH
THIS -- THIS -- IT SAYS THIS
00:45:58.85\00:46:04.69
NARRATIVE OF CHRIST.
IT'S THE -- THE -- THE INCENSE
00:46:04.69\00:46:08.63
IS WHAT IT IS CALLED. >> RIGHT.
00:46:08.63\00:46:11.50
>> THE INCENSE IS MINGLED
WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS.
00:46:11.50\00:46:15.40
THE INCENSE REPRESENTS THE
MERITS OF CHRIST, HIS SACRIFICE.
00:46:15.40\00:46:20.74
>> SWEET
SMELLING SAVOR. >> YEAH.
00:46:20.74\00:46:22.71
THE PRAYERS COME UP, AND
IT'S JUST -- YOU KNOW, FAILURE,
00:46:22.71\00:46:26.55
FAILURE,
FAILURE, FAILURE, RIGHT?
00:46:26.55\00:46:30.45
BUT THEN CHRIST
RIGHTEOUSNESS, NO FAILURE.
00:46:30.45\00:46:34.72
CHRIST'S BLOOD NO
FAILURE. >> RIGHT.
00:46:34.72\00:46:37.86
>> THE BLOOD OF CHRIST EVEN
THAT YOU ARE LIKE -- WHY ARE WE
00:46:37.86\00:46:44.03
ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THE BLOOD.
THE BLOOD IS NOT JUST SPILLED
00:46:44.03\00:46:48.60
DEATH. IT IS ALSO LIFE.
00:46:48.60\00:46:50.01
THE BLOOD IS LIFE.
THERE'S LIFE IN THE BLOOD.
00:46:50.01\00:46:52.87
WE TALK ABOUT THE LIFE
-- THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
00:46:52.87\00:46:55.94
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HIS
LIFE -- HIS PERFECT LIFE AND HIS
00:46:55.94\00:47:00.85
DEATH, IN FACT WHEN THE LAMB WAS
BROUGHT TO THE PRIEST IT HAD TO
00:47:00.85\00:47:04.02
BE PERFECT. SO HE
LIVED THIS PERFECT LIFE.
00:47:04.02\00:47:07.36
NOT ONE TIME DID HE SIN,
AND THAT AS WELL AS THE DEATH OF
00:47:07.36\00:47:10.83
CHRIST IS WHAT IS
APPLIED TO OUR PRAYERS.
00:47:10.83\00:47:14.10
>> RIGHT. >> SO WE
HAVE HIS PERFECT LIFE
00:47:14.10\00:47:17.57
AND HIS SACRIFICIAL DEATH, WE
HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED FOR
00:47:17.57\00:47:21.00
GOD TO GIFT US THE HOLY
SPIRIT. SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.
00:47:21.00\00:47:24.04
THE PRAYERS GO UP. FIRE
IS TAKEN OFF OF THE ALTER
00:47:24.04\00:47:30.61
CAST TO THE EARTH,
THERE IS AN EXPLOSION.
00:47:30.61\00:47:33.65
THINGS ARE SET ON FIRE, AND
THIS LITTLE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO
00:47:33.65\00:47:37.39
COULDN'T EVEN AGREE
WITH THEMSELVES, NOW THEY ARE
00:47:37.39\00:47:40.26
CONCURRING ONE PIECE OF
TERRITORY AFTER ANOTHER.
00:47:40.26\00:47:43.43
IN REVELATION 6, THE WHITE HORSE
GOING FORWARD, THE HORSE IS THE
00:47:43.43\00:47:47.93
PEOPLE, CHRIST IS THE RIDER,
THEY ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER, AND
00:47:47.93\00:47:52.20
THEY ARE JUST
CONCURRING TERRITORY.
00:47:52.20\00:47:54.87
THINGS THEY COULD
NEVER HAVE DONE THEMSELVES.
00:47:54.87\00:47:57.51
THEY ARE ACCOMPLISHING BECAUSE
GOD'S WILL IS BEING DONE THROUGH
00:47:57.51\00:48:01.61
THEM. THEY ARE
TOLD NOT TO PREACH,
00:48:01.61\00:48:03.68
DON'T GO THERE, DON'T GO THERE.
THEY DO WHAT GOD TELLING THEM
00:48:03.68\00:48:08.02
DO. GOD SAYS
PETER I NEED YOU TO GO
00:48:08.02\00:48:10.59
OVER THERE. THIS IS
WHERE YOU NEED TO GO
00:48:10.59\00:48:13.12
PAUL. I NEED YOU
TO GO OVER HERE, AND
00:48:13.12\00:48:16.16
AS THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS
THEM -- THAT'S PRAYER -- AS THE
00:48:16.16\00:48:19.39
HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS THEM, THEY
TALK TO GOD AND GOD TALKS TO
00:48:19.39\00:48:23.57
THEM, THE EARLY CHURCH EXPLODES,
AND IT TURNS THIS ENTIRE EARTH
00:48:23.57\00:48:29.34
UPSIDEDOWN. >> SO
WOULD YOU SAY THEY
00:48:29.34\00:48:32.21
ELIMINATED POLITICS SO
TO SPEAK? >> SO TO SPEAK.
00:48:32.21\00:48:35.71
IT CAME INSIGNIFICANT. SO
FROM GENESIS, WHERE WE GET
00:48:35.71\00:48:40.08
THE FIRST DEFINITION OF PRAYER,
TALKING TO GOD, ALL THE WAY
00:48:40.08\00:48:45.05
THROUGH TO THE REDEMPTION OF
MAN IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, WHICH
00:48:45.05\00:48:51.56
INCLUDES RECONNECTING WITH
GOD. BEING REDIRECTED BY GOD.
00:48:51.56\00:48:55.53
HAVING GOD COMMUNICATE TO US,
AND AT TIMES FACE-TO-FACE, ALL
00:48:55.53\00:48:59.80
THE WAY THROUGH THE OLD
TESTAMENT, WE SEE OVER AND OVER
00:48:59.80\00:49:02.60
AGAIN IN THE STORY OF ABRAHAM
AND LOT, MOSES AND EGYPT, DAVID
00:49:02.60\00:49:07.31
AND SOL, AND IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT STORY, EVERY ONE OF
00:49:07.31\00:49:11.01
THOSE STORIES GIVE US PICTURES
OF THE POLITICAL POWERS THAT
00:49:11.01\00:49:15.12
WERE AGAINST GOD'S WILL,
AND GOD'S PURPOSE, AND HOW GOD
00:49:15.12\00:49:19.59
OVERTURNED THAT, OVERTURNED THAT
TIME AND TIME AGAIN THROUGH THE
00:49:19.59\00:49:23.99
POWER OF PRAYER,
THROUGH COMMUNICATING WITH GOD.
00:49:23.99\00:49:26.66
WE STILL HAVE A FEW
OTHER PLACES WE NEED TO GO.
00:49:26.66\00:49:32.07
WE HAVE GOT SOME STATEMENTS
WE WANT TO SHARE FROM THE BOOK
00:49:32.07\00:49:35.70
"GREAT CONTROVERSY," WHICH
IS OUR SPECIAL OFFER TONIGHT.
00:49:35.70\00:49:40.61
>> AND WE HAVE
QUESTIONS. >> AWESOME.
00:49:40.61\00:49:43.14
AND WE HAVE A
FREE OFFER TONIGHT.
00:49:43.14\00:49:45.85
AND THAT FREE OFFER IS
"THE GREAT CONTROVERSY."
00:49:45.85\00:49:50.19
SO IF YOU WANT "THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY" -- EXPLAIN WHAT
00:49:50.19\00:49:55.72
THIS IS? >> THIS
IS AN EDITION THAT WE
00:49:55.72\00:49:59.66
PRINTED. AND I
WAS TH ONE THAT SPEAR
00:49:59.66\00:50:03.43
HEAD CHANGING THE VERSES FROM
KING JAMES TO NEW KING JAMES SO
00:50:03.43\00:50:09.10
IT WAS EASIER TO
UNDERSTAND. JUST THE VERSES.
00:50:09.10\00:50:13.84
THE MEANING IN KING JAMES IS
UNIQUE IN SOME VERSES, SO IT'S A
00:50:13.84\00:50:19.08
LITTLE EASIER TO READ, BUT GOD
-pHAS PROVIDED US TO PRINT
THOUSANDS OF THESE TO SHIP
00:50:19.08\00:50:24.99
OVERSEAS. WE'RE
GOING TO BE SHIPPING
00:50:24.99\00:50:27.22
BIBLES IN ENGLISH, SPANISH,
PORTUGUESE, AND FRENCH TO ALL OF

THESE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
OVERSEAS, AND "ALSO GREAT
00:50:32.43\00:50:38.40
CONTROVERSY THE [
INAUDIBLE ] OF AGES."
00:50:38.40\00:50:41.57
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ARE GOING
00:50:41.57\00:50:44.81
OVERSEAS. AND WHEN I
WAS COMING OVER HERE,
00:50:44.81\00:50:47.31
I THOUGHT IF WE COULD ALSO SHIP
A FEW IN THE UNITED STATES TO
00:50:47.31\00:50:50.61
SOME OF OUR VIEWERS HERE, THAT
WOULD BE SO COOL, BECAUSE THIS
00:50:50.61\00:50:56.12
IS BASICALLY OUR ROAD MAP
FOR PROPHECY THROUGH THE END OF
00:50:56.12\00:51:00.39
TIME. >> RIGHT.
00:51:00.39\00:51:01.32
>> IT'S OUR ROAD MAP.
AND IT STARTS IN THE EARLY
00:51:01.32\00:51:08.00
PROPHETIC TIME FRAME OF THE FALL
OF JERUSALEM AND TAKES US ALL
00:51:08.00\00:51:12.57
THE WAY THROUGH INTO THE FUTURE.
BUT THE CENTER OF THAT BOOK IS
00:51:12.57\00:51:16.30
PRAYER. >> AND
THAT'S WHAT -- YOU KNOW,
00:51:16.30\00:51:18.44
IT'S SO GOOD TO HAVE A ROAD
MAP. WE HAVE THE WORD, YOU KNOW?
00:51:18.44\00:51:24.55
AND WE HAVE -- "THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY" IS AN EXCELLENT,
00:51:24.55\00:51:31.25
EXCELLENT BOOK. JAY

CAN GET IT. >> IF YOU
CALL, 618-627-4651, WE
00:51:33.92\00:51:37.46
WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND
YOU "THE GREAT CONTROVERSY."
00:51:37.46\00:51:42.63
>> THAT'S AWESOME. AND
I THINK WE HAVE AN EMAIL
00:51:42.63\00:51:46.70
ADDRESS AS
WELL. >> LIVE@3ABN.TV.
00:51:46.70\00:51:51.21
>> THAT'S IT. SO

00:51:51.21\00:51:55.58

SOMEONE. GAVE IT
TO YOUR NEIGHBOR, OR
00:52:00.18\00:52:03.35
SOMEONE WHO COULD USE IT, BUT
SHARE THIS WONDERFUL, POWERFUL
00:52:03.35\00:52:07.76
WORD. >> AMEN.
00:52:07.76\00:52:08.52
>> SO WE'RE LOOKING AT,
THEN -- LET'S DO A LITTLE RECAP
00:52:08.52\00:52:12.66
HERE. SO WE'RE
LOOKING AT GOING FROM
00:52:12.66\00:52:15.53
GENESIS WITH ADAM AND EVE DOWN
THROUGH MOSES, ABRAHAM, DAVID,
00:52:15.53\00:52:20.84
YOU KNOW, ALL OF THEM HAD
EXPERIENCES WITH GOD THROUGH
00:52:20.84\00:52:25.67
PRAYER. >> YES.
00:52:25.67\00:52:26.57
>> AND AGAIN, MANY TIMES WE GET
HUNG UP ON NOT REALLY WANTING TO
00:52:26.57\00:52:32.58
PRAY OR FINDING PRAYER BORING,
BUT I HAVE TO SAY, THAT, PRAISE
00:52:32.58\00:52:37.65
THE LORD, THE LORD HAS GIVEN
ME A REVELATION ON PRAYER FOR ME
00:52:37.65\00:52:44.29
PERSONALLY THAT HAS
REALLY CHANGED MY PRAYER LIFE.
00:52:44.29\00:52:46.96
>> AMEN. >> AND
PART OF THAT IS SPEAKING
00:52:46.96\00:52:51.80
OUT LOUD TO GOD AND CHANGING IT
UP, AND NOT SAYING THE SAME OLD
00:52:51.80\00:52:59.04
THING. IMAGINE IF
YOU CALLED ME AND WE
00:52:59.04\00:53:01.31
JUST SAY THE SAME
THING EVERY TIME WE TALK.
00:53:01.31\00:53:03.45
HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING
IT WOULD BE SO BORING.
00:53:03.45\00:53:07.28
YOU WOULD FIND
YOURSELF GOING TO SLEEP, RIGHT?
00:53:07.28\00:53:09.58
>> YES. >> BUT WHEN
YOU TALK TO GOD AS A
00:53:09.58\00:53:12.45
FRIEND, IT CHANGES
THE WHOLE DYNAMIC OF IT.
00:53:12.45\00:53:14.52
>> IT DOES. >> AND
WHEN YOU TALK TO HIM
00:53:14.52\00:53:17.16
ABOUT OTHERS AS WELL. >> YES.
00:53:17.16\00:53:20.10
>> THIS ONE IS SICK, AND
THIS ONE NEEDS SALVATION --
00:53:20.10\00:53:24.00
>> YES. >> --
AND THEN YOU SEE HIM
00:53:24.00\00:53:27.27
ANSWER THOSE PRAYERS. WHAT?
00:53:27.27\00:53:28.64
IT'S POWERFUL. >>
YES, AND AS PASTOR
00:53:28.64\00:53:32.11
RAFFERTY -- YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT JESUS'S PRAYER LIFE.
00:53:32.11\00:53:37.21
YOU KNOW, IT REALLY HELPS US TO
RECOGNIZE OUR NECESSITY -- LIKE
00:53:37.21\00:53:41.02
HOW MUCH WE NEED
PRAYER -- >> YES.
00:53:41.02\00:53:43.39
>> -- BECAUSE IF YOUR LORD
AND SAVIOR PRAYED AS MUCH AS HE
00:53:43.39\00:53:47.12
DID -- I MEAN HOW MUCH
MORE DO WE NEED TO BE PRAYING.
00:53:47.12\00:53:51.09
>> YEAH. >> SOOT
THE END OF THE DAY,
00:53:51.09\00:53:55.00
EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION
WE WENT THROUGH THAT DAY THAT
00:53:55.00\00:53:57.57
WAS HARD FOR US, WE
SHOULD TALK TO GOD ABOUT IT.
00:53:57.57\00:54:00.94
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ON YOUR
KNEES, YOU CAN BE FINISHING UP
00:54:00.94\00:54:05.44
THE DISHES. GETTING
THINGS READY, BRUSHING
00:54:05.44\00:54:09.88
YOUR TEETH AND YOU
ARE JUST TALKING TO GOD.
00:54:09.88\00:54:12.98
MAN, TODAY WAS A TOUGH DAY.
SOMETHING HAPPENED HERE WITH MY
00:54:12.98\00:54:16.35
FRIEND OR MY NEIGHBOR OR
WHATEVER, AND I JUST WANT TO
00:54:16.35\00:54:18.82
GIVE THAT TO YOU RIGHT NOW,
GOD, BECAUSE I'M STRUGGLING WITH
00:54:18.82\00:54:22.49
IT -- I LIKE THE
IDEA OF TALKING OUT LOUD
00:54:22.49\00:54:26.06
>> YES. >>
SOMETIMES I DO A CIRCLE OF MY
00:54:26.06\00:54:30.07
HOUSE, AND I'M TALKING
WITH PEOPLE, AND I'M THINKING I
00:54:30.07\00:54:33.87
SHOULD BE DOING THAT WITH GOD.
SOMETIMES I'M SAYING MY PRAYERS
00:54:33.87\00:54:37.87
FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES, THEN I'M
DONE, AND THEN I'M STUDYING AND
00:54:37.87\00:54:42.51
READING. NO, LET ME
GIVE GOD ALL OF THIS
00:54:42.51\00:54:45.48
STRESS THAT IS ON MY HEART,
ALL OF THIS CRISIS, ALL OF THESE
00:54:45.48\00:54:49.02
PEOPLE ON MY BRAIN, LET ME JUST
START GIVING THAT TO GOD, GIVING
00:54:49.02\00:54:52.65
THAT TO GOD. AND
PEOPLE WOULD TEXT ME, EMAIL
00:54:52.65\00:54:57.49
ME, WHATEVER,
COULD YOU PRAY FOR THIS?
00:54:57.49\00:55:00.76
COULD YOU PRAY FOR THIS?
AND NOW I FIND MYSELF GOING YES,
00:55:00.76\00:55:04.63
I'LL DO THAT RIGHT
NOW. I CALL THAT A DIVINE
00:55:04.63\00:55:08.94
INTERRUPTION, AND SOMETIMES IT
CAUSES ME TO GET IN THE MODE OF
00:55:08.94\00:55:12.24
PRAYER. LIKE AT
THAT MOMENT, THERE'S A
00:55:12.24\00:55:14.14
FEW OTHER THINGS I
SHOULD PRAYING FOR TOO.
00:55:14.14\00:55:16.58
MY DAUGHTER NEEDS THIS, OR
MY SON NEEDS THAT, OR MY WIFE IS
00:55:16.58\00:55:23.05
GOING THROUGH THIS,
OR OUR CHURCH NEEDS THAT?
00:55:23.05\00:55:26.62
AND I'M NOT HOLDING THAT.
THAT'S WHAT DAVID DID IN PSALM
00:55:26.62\00:55:32.23
59. HE GAVE IT TO GOD.
00:55:32.23\00:55:33.86
AND THEN IT FREED HIM UP.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS MANY TIMES IS
00:55:33.86\00:55:37.40
THE GUILT, THE SHAME,
THE STRESS, THE BURDEN --
00:55:37.40\00:55:45.71
[ TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ]
THE WAY WE WOULD IF WE WERE FREE
00:55:45.71\00:55:48.14
FROM ALL OF THAT. SO
WHEN DAVID GAI -- GAVE IT TO
00:55:48.14\00:55:56.72
GOD, HE COULD DEAL WITH SOL THE
WAY GOD WAS DIRECTING HIM TO.
00:55:56.72\00:56:03.43
WE NEED TO DO WITH CHRIST THE
WAY GOD IS DIRECTING US TOE DO
00:56:03.43\00:56:08.20
WITH CHRIST, AND IF WE DON'T
GIVE THIS STUFF TO GOD, WE WILL
00:56:08.20\00:56:11.83
BE AFFECTED BY IT AND DEAL
WITH PEOPLE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
00:56:11.83\00:56:16.57
>> AND THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING,
REALLY, IN THE CHURCH RIGHT NOW,
00:56:16.57\00:56:22.11
WITH THE WHOLE DIVISION AND,
YOU KNOW, WE FEEL POLARIZED.
00:56:22.11\00:56:27.95
RIGHT AND LEFT
AND BLACK AND WHITE.
00:56:27.95\00:56:30.52
>> AND I BELIEVE
THIS, AND YOU BELIEVE THAT.
00:56:30.52\00:56:33.15
AND IT IS JUST
DIVIDING US. >> RIGHT.
00:56:33.15\00:56:37.23
AND THE INTOLERANCE, INSTEAD
OF US SHOWING RESPECT WITH ONE
00:56:37.23\00:56:41.53
ANOTHER -- EVEN IF WE DISAGREE.
WE DISAGREE -- SOMETIMES AS
00:56:41.53\00:56:46.33
CHRISTIANS WE CAN BE IN THE
WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM AS
00:56:46.33\00:56:49.84
WELL, YOU KNOW, NOT
REALLY SAYING WHAT YOU REALLY
00:56:49.84\00:56:51.74
BELIEVE -- >> I LIKE THAT.
00:56:51.74\00:56:53.41
>> I LIKE TO TOO. COME ON.
00:56:53.41\00:56:55.18
>> I GOT THAT FROM
PASTOR ALEX HORTON.
00:56:55.18\00:56:59.15
I CAN'T KEEP THAT -- I CAN'T
TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT, BUT THAT
00:56:59.15\00:57:03.32
IS -- YOU KNOW, THAT'S
WHERE WE ARE SOMETIMES.
00:57:03.32\00:57:05.52
GOD EXPECTS US
TO BE CHRIST LIKE.
00:57:05.52\00:57:08.62
>> UH-HUH. >> THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
00:57:08.62\00:57:11.63
DO, AND SHOW RESPECT EVEN IF WE
DISAGREE, SHOW RESPECT AND LOVE.
00:57:11.63\00:57:16.16
>> UH-HUH. >> LET
THEM KNOW YOU ARE ALL MY
00:57:16.16\00:57:21.60
DISCIPLES IF YOU
HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
00:57:21.60\00:57:23.34
AND A LOT OF TIMES
THAT LOVE ISN'T SHOWING.
00:57:23.34\00:57:26.91
>> AND JESUS DID THAT.
LOOK AT WHAT CAME AGAINST HIM.
00:57:26.91\00:57:29.41
>> YES. >> AND SO HE PRAYED.
00:57:29.41\00:57:31.71
HE SAID TONIGHT I'M
PRAYING FOR PHARAOHSIES.
00:57:31.71\00:57:39.55
THEY WERE ON MY
CASE TODAY. >> OUR TIME.
00:57:39.55\00:57:42.62
WE'RE ABOUT TO TAKE A SHORT
BREAK, AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
00:57:42.62\00:57:46.09
DON'T GO ANYWHERE. ¤
