>> THIS IS SO FREEING.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO
00:00:16.88\00:00:19.51
ARE SO -- I WANT TO BE
LOVED, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO.
00:00:19.51\00:00:25.45
IT IS CAUSING TO LOOK AT
YOURSELF VERSUS LOOKING AT
00:00:25.45\00:00:30.93
CHRIST. >> ONE
SAID THE HARDEST BATTLE
00:00:30.93\00:00:36.53
WE HAVE TO FIGHT IS
THE ONE AGAINST THE SELF.
00:00:36.53\00:00:39.73
THE BATTLE OF SELF
IS EXPLAINED LIKE THIS.
00:00:39.73\00:00:43.27
I WAS GOING TO TAKE SOME
KETCHUP, MY SON GRABBED THE
00:00:43.27\00:00:48.88
KETCHUP. I WANTED THE KETCHUP.
00:00:48.88\00:00:50.98
I WAS GOING TO SAY
SON, I WANT THE KETCHUP.
00:00:50.98\00:00:54.08
I REALIZED THAT WAS SELF. I
LET MY SON HAVE THE KETCHUP.
00:00:54.08\00:00:58.02
THAT WAS A TEACHING
MOMENT. THAT'S JUST LIFE.
00:00:58.02\00:01:07.23
I WILL SAY, THAT IS A BATTLE
WITH SELF THAT YOU'VE GOT.
00:01:07.23\00:01:11.13
I'M NOT MINIMIZING WHAT MAYBE
A BATTLE IN SOMEONE'S MIND.
00:01:11.13\00:01:20.54
YOU WANT TO SAY THAT'S
SELF. SURE ENOUGH, THAT CAN BE A
00:01:20.54\00:01:24.71
BATTLE WITH SELF, NO QUESTION.
SOME SAY THE BATTLE OF SELF
00:01:24.71\00:01:28.82
IS, I DON'T KNOW,
INDULGING YOURSELF.
00:01:28.82\00:01:33.36
SURE, BUT LET'S GO BACK TO
WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
00:01:33.36\00:01:35.62
JUST A MINUTE AGO. AM I SAVED?
00:01:35.62\00:01:38.39
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE
SAY? IN WE CONFESS OUR SINS.
00:01:38.39\00:01:44.57
DID YOU DO THIS? YES.
00:01:44.57\00:01:46.57
ALL RIGHT. WHY
ARE YOU ASKING THE
00:01:46.57\00:01:49.40
QUESTION? WELL, HOLD ON, YOU?
00:01:49.40\00:01:52.74
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOU
WHEN YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT
00:01:52.74\00:01:57.35
THE HEAVENLY
SANCTUARY AND SEEING JESUS.
00:01:57.35\00:02:02.65
WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE. OKAY.
00:02:02.65\00:02:11.09
BUT IF YOU DO, WE HAVE
AN ADVOCACY WITH THE FATHER.
00:02:11.09\00:02:14.93
JESUS CHRIST. THE RIGHTEOUS.
00:02:14.93\00:02:18.53
SO WHY IN THE WORLD WILL YOU
BE LOOK THING AT YOURSELF WHEN
00:02:18.53\00:02:22.90
YOU CAN BE LOOKING AT JESUS?
THAT IS THE BATTLE WITH SELF.
00:02:22.90\00:02:31.55
OKAY, THE
CHOCOLATE CAKE IS ONE THING.
00:02:31.55\00:02:34.68
BUT IF I'M IN AN INSIDIOUS
BATTLE WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING
00:02:34.68\00:02:38.75
IN YOUR HEART
SAYING, OH, POOR ME.
00:02:38.75\00:02:42.96
WOE IS ME. GOD CAN'T FORGIVE ME.
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.46
HOLD ON, GET A GRIP.
WHAT PART OF THE BIBLE HERE
00:02:45.46\00:02:48.33
ARE YOU FAILING TO
UNDERSTAND REGARDS TO FORGIVING.
00:02:48.33\00:02:52.70
I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW
HEART. I WILL BE YOUR ADVOCATE.
00:02:52.70\00:02:55.50
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR
FOR SAKE YOUEN LOOK AWAY FROM
00:02:55.50\00:03:00.91
YOURSELF AND LOOK TO JESUS.
THIS THING ABOUT I'M TOO BAD,
00:03:00.91\00:03:04.81
I'M A SINNER.
THAT IS SIMPLY SELF
00:03:04.81\00:03:11.92
CENTEREDNESS. THAT'S ALL IT IS.
00:03:11.92\00:03:13.49
>> THE DEVIL WATCHES
CHRISTIANS VERY CLOSELY.
00:03:13.49\00:03:17.63
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP,
PROBABLY YO, TOO, THERE WAS
00:03:17.63\00:03:21.16
SO MUCH LEGALISM AND
ALL THE DOs PAWN DON'Ts.
00:03:21.16\00:03:28.00
MAYBE THE
GENERATION BEFORE THEM.
00:03:28.00\00:03:29.54
I DON'T KNOW. MY
PARENTS BECAME ADVENTIST
00:03:29.54\00:03:35.54
THE DAY I WAS BORN.
THERE WAS ALL OF THAT DON'T DO
00:03:35.54\00:03:39.55
THIS AND DON'T DO THAT.
MAYBE FOR REASONS THAT WERE
00:03:39.55\00:03:43.72
NOT UNDERSTANDS.
THEN THERE WAS A HIPPIE
00:03:43.72\00:03:46.76
MOVEMENT, WHICH
JOHN WAS NOT A PART OF.
00:03:46.76\00:03:55.53
I THINK YOU COULD IDENTIFY
THROUGH THE HIPPIE MOVEMENT,
00:03:55.53\00:04:01.27
IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT.
HOW WILL THOSE KIDS TURN OUT
00:04:01.27\00:04:06.68
TO BE. WE SEE
THIS PROGRESSION OVER
00:04:06.68\00:04:11.48
TIME. NOW YOU GO
TO CHURCH AND THEY
00:04:11.48\00:04:16.22
SAY I HAVE TO BE PERFECT.
WE ARE SAYING THE OPPOSITE.
00:04:16.22\00:04:23.36
NOW JUST TODAY I
TALKED TO A FATHER AND SON.
00:04:23.36\00:04:30.90
HE IS 47, 48. FRIENDS OF MINE.
00:04:30.90\00:04:33.50
HIS SON IS ABOUT 20, 21.
THE SUBJECT CAME UP ABOUT YOUR
00:04:33.50\00:04:42.28
LIFESTYLE AND HOW
ACCEPTING THAT IT IS.
00:04:42.28\00:04:44.41
THE GUY SAID MY FOLKS MY
DAD'S AGE, HE IS NOT TOLERATE OF
00:04:44.41\00:04:50.32
THOSE THINGS. ONE OF
THE POLITICIANS RUNNING
00:04:50.32\00:04:53.79
FOR PRESIDENT
NOW IS A HOMOSEXUAL.
00:04:53.79\00:05:01.26
THE SUBJECT CAME UP. HE
SAID MY DAD IS NOT TOLERATE
00:05:01.26\00:05:05.10
OF THAT AT ALL. THIS GENERATION.
00:05:05.10\00:05:07.64
BUT MY GENERATION, HE
SAYS, IF YOU WANT TO, I DON'T
00:05:07.64\00:05:15.94
NECESSARILY AGREE WITH
IT, BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT.
00:05:15.94\00:05:20.18
BUT IN THIS
GENERATION, THEY CELEBRATE IT.
00:05:20.18\00:05:24.79
SO YOU ARE ALMOST CELEBRATED
IF YOU SAY I'M OPENLY GAY OR
00:05:24.79\00:05:30.99
MARRIED TO -- HE SAYS,
THEY ARE NOT WHAT YOU CALL
00:05:30.99\00:05:38.60
CHURCHGOERS. BUT
HE SAYS I CAN SEE THE
00:05:38.60\00:05:42.34
DIFFERENCE. I SAID
THAT'S NOT ACCIDENT.
00:05:42.34\00:05:44.71
THE DEVIL HAS A PLAN. HE
MAY MAKE THAT LOOK NORMAL.
00:05:44.71\00:05:49.64
IF YOU SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT IT, YOU'RE NOT NORMAL.
00:05:49.64\00:05:55.52
YOU'RE OUT OF TOUCH IF YOU SAY
I'M NOT READY FOR A PRESIDENT
00:05:55.52\00:05:59.09
MARRIED TO ANOTHER GUY?
IF YOU QUESTION THAT, IT'S
00:05:59.09\00:06:02.42
LIKE YOU'RE THE BAD
GUY AND YOU ARE NOT NORMAL.
00:06:02.42\00:06:07.66
>> YEAH. >> THE
DEVIL FLIPS IT IT.
00:06:07.66\00:06:14.17
I DON'T WANT TO
GET INTO ALL OF THAT.
00:06:14.17\00:06:16.34
BUT YOU SEE SO MUCH OF THAT,
IT'S OKAY, IT'S BETTER THAN
00:06:16.34\00:06:23.41
WHATEVER. >> LET
ME ASK THIS QUESTION.
00:06:23.41\00:06:27.62
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.
SOMEONE PUT A QUESTION IN THE
00:06:27.62\00:06:31.22
QUESTION BOX. DOES
A PERSON HAVE TO BE
00:06:31.22\00:06:35.66
PERFECT IN ORDER TO BE BAPTIZED?
00:06:35.66\00:06:40.13
>> I'LL ASK THE
CONGREGATION. THEY SAID, NO.
00:06:40.13\00:06:45.90
I SAID, YOU'RE
WRONG. THE ANSWER IS YES.
00:06:45.90\00:06:52.71
A PERSON HAS TO BE
PERFECT IN ORDER TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:06:52.71\00:06:57.85
>> WHAT DO YOU
MEAN BY "PERFECT"?
00:06:57.85\00:07:00.22
>> GOOD QUESTION. SO
I GAVE HIM THE SCENARIO.
00:07:00.22\00:07:06.19
AS A MATTER OF FACT, A
PERSON -- ANY PERSON WHO IS
00:07:06.19\00:07:12.96
BAPTIZED REALLY WOULD HAVE
A HARD TIME NOT BEING PERFECT.
00:07:12.96\00:07:16.46
I'LL EXPLAIN. SO A
PERSON COMES TO JESUS AS
00:07:16.46\00:07:20.34
A SINNER. WHAT
THAT PERSON NEEDS TO
00:07:20.34\00:07:24.87
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
WHERE DO YOU GET THAT
00:07:24.87\00:07:27.31
RIGHTEOUSNESS? FROM JESUS.
00:07:27.31\00:07:28.64
WE GET IT BY FAITH.
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.
00:07:28.64\00:07:35.05
WHAT KIND OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THAT?
00:07:35.05\00:07:37.09
IS IT HALF-BAKED RIGHTEOUSNESS?
00:07:37.09\00:07:40.66
KINDSA SORTA RIGHTEOUSNESS?
DECENT RIGHTEOUSNESS?
00:07:40.66\00:07:45.39
IS IT OKAY
RIGHTEOUSNESS? NO, IT IS PERFECT
00:07:45.39\00:07:50.63
RIGHTEOUSNESS. IT IS.
00:07:50.63\00:07:53.74
WHEN YOU ARE CREDITED AS
HAVING THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
00:07:53.74\00:07:57.37
CHRIST, THEN IT'S AS PERFECT
AS PERFECT -- BEFORE WE'RE
00:07:57.37\00:08:02.14
DONE WE'LL LOOK AT
ROMANS 3 WHICH SPEAKS ABOUT THE
00:08:02.14\00:08:05.91
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. NO
DIFFERENT THAN WHEN HE PUT
00:08:05.91\00:08:08.75
IT IN THOSE TERMS, THAT'S
HEAVY DUTY RIGHTEOUSNESS WE'RE
00:08:08.75\00:08:13.05
TALKING ABOUT THERE. SO
ILLINOIS, THE SINNER LEARNS
00:08:13.05\00:08:20.10
THAT JESUS LOVES HER,
LOVES HIM, CHOOSES THE NEW LIFE,
00:08:20.10\00:08:26.67
PRAISE THE PRAYER. LORD
BE MERCIFUL, CREATED ME,
00:08:26.67\00:08:32.31
RENEW MY SPIRIT. GIVE ME JESUS.
00:08:32.31\00:08:35.81
FORGIVE ME, LORD.
THAT PERSON IS GIVEN JESUS.
00:08:35.81\00:08:40.15
BY THE WAY, THIS RIECHESNESS
WE RECEIVE IS NOT LIKE GETTING
00:08:40.15\00:08:45.29
A LETTER IN THE MAIL.
IT'S LIKE GETTING THE LETTER
00:08:45.29\00:08:49.62
AND THE -- YOU DON'T GET IT
TOSSED TO YOU LIKE A FRISBEE.
00:08:49.62\00:08:55.43
HE SAYS IF YOU
WANT IT, COME GET IT.
00:08:55.43\00:08:59.20
IT'S NOT TWO
SEPARATE THINGS HERE.
00:08:59.20\00:09:02.54
JESUS COMES WITH
PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:09:02.54\00:09:05.44
NOW YOU GET BAPTIZED.
IS THE PERSON PERFECT?
00:09:05.44\00:09:10.51
THE PERSON HAS THE
PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS.
00:09:10.51\00:09:15.22
IF YOU ARE BAPTIZED WITHOUT
THE PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
00:09:15.22\00:09:19.15
CHRIST, YOU ARE
NOT THE REPENTSANTS.
00:09:19.15\00:09:23.26
PASTOR, HOLD ON, WHAT ABOUT
THE PERSON AND THEY CHEAT ON
00:09:23.26\00:09:27.96
THEIR TAXES AND
THEY HAVE A GIRLFRIEND --
00:09:27.96\00:09:30.73
>> HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
WHAT IS IT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
00:09:30.73\00:09:33.67
IN SOMEONE BEING BAPTIZED.
ARE YOU WANTING HIM TO BE A
00:09:33.67\00:09:38.44
200-FOOT TALL REDWOOD
TREE? ARE YOU OKAY WITH A BABY
00:09:38.44\00:09:44.41
REDWOOD? OF COURSE
I'M NOT SAYING THAT.
00:09:44.41\00:09:53.15
WE DON'T BAPTIZE
PEOPLE AND SAY DIVE IN.
00:09:53.15\00:10:00.26
HAVE FAITH IN JESUS
RECOGNIZING THAT THE PERSON IS
00:10:00.26\00:10:05.07
GROWING. >> SO YOU'RE PERFECT IN
00:10:05.07\00:10:30.13
CHRIST. YOU
CONFESS YOUR SINS TO HIM.
00:10:30.13\00:10:32.36
>> YES, YOU ARE. >>
IT'S HIS PERFECTION.
00:10:32.36\00:10:37.13
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN
THAT, THIS ARE SURELY PEOPLE WHO
00:10:37.13\00:10:42.07
HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN THE
HEARTS OF THE LORD AND THEY
00:10:42.07\00:10:45.71
FALL BACK WHETHER IT'S
SMOKING OR HABITS AND THINGS.
00:10:45.71\00:10:50.75
STILL THAT DOESN'T NEED
THEY NEED TO QUIT AND GO BACK.
00:10:50.75\00:10:54.22
YOU CAN COME BACK TO THE
FOOT OF THE CROSS ONCE AGAIN.
00:10:54.22\00:10:59.29
IT'S GREAT TO KNOW THAT
SIN CAN DISAPPEAR AGAIN.
00:10:59.29\00:11:03.73
THAT'S RIGHT. >>
IT'S DONE AWAY WITH.
00:11:03.73\00:11:06.09
I THINK WHAT THE LORD IS
SAYING THEY WANT SOMEONE TO IT
00:11:06.09\00:11:12.47
LOOK LIKE THEMSELVES
WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED.
00:11:12.47\00:11:15.70
THEY HAVE BEEN IN
THE CHURCH 40 YEARS.
00:11:15.70\00:11:18.61
HERE IS THIS GUY, WE KNOW HE
IS STRUGGLING WITH THIS THING.
00:11:18.61\00:11:22.01
THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE IN REBELLION.
00:11:22.01\00:11:25.61
I WANT TO BE BAPTIZED, BUT
I SMOKE AND DO ALL OF THIS.
00:11:25.61\00:11:31.05
I WOULD SAY YOU'RE
NOT READY TO BE BAPTIZED.
00:11:31.05\00:11:34.72
WHY ARE YOU BEING BAPTIZED?
WHAT DOES THAT REPRESENT?
00:11:34.72\00:11:39.89
YOU'RE SAYING EVERYONE OF
US ARE A TINY SABBATHELING.
00:11:39.89\00:11:44.73
WE'VE HAD 30 YEARS TO
GROW, 40 YEARS TO GROW.
00:11:44.73\00:11:49.64
LET THE SAPLING HAVE TIME TO
GROW, LET'S NOT JUDGE HIM AND
00:11:49.64\00:11:53.64
RUN HIM OUT OF
CHURCH. THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
00:11:53.64\00:11:56.51
>> IT HAPPENS. OH,
MY GOODNESS IT HAPPENS.
00:11:56.51\00:12:00.68
>> WE MAY HAVE TIME IN A
LITTLE BIT TO ANSWER A FEW
00:12:00.68\00:12:03.99
QUESTIONS, IF YOU WANT TO
WEIGH IN ON THIS, GO AHEAD.

>> PAUL WROTE TO THE
00:12:12.93\00:12:20.44
PHILLIPIANS. HE
WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
00:12:20.44\00:12:23.77
PEOPLE AT CONSTANTINE.
HE SAID HE COULDN'T BE
00:12:23.77\00:12:27.68
CONFIDENT IN THE FLESH BECAUSE
HE WAS CIRCUMCISED ON THE
00:12:27.68\00:12:32.45
RIGHT DAY, HE WAS PROBABLY
NAMED AFTER SING SAUL --  .
00:12:32.45\00:12:44.26
TOUCHING IT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHICH IS BLAMELESS.
00:12:44.26\00:12:53.17
I COUNT ALL THINGS TO THE
EXCELLENCELY OF THE KNOWLEDGE
00:12:58.17\00:12:59.71
OF CHRIST WHO
SUFFERED ALL THINGS.
00:12:59.71\00:13:04.51
AND HE FOUND IN HIM NOT HAVING
HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH
00:13:04.51\00:13:09.12
IS THE LAW. BUT
THAT IS THROUGH THE FAITH
00:13:09.12\00:13:12.42
OF CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHICH IS BY GOD BY FAITH.
00:13:12.42\00:13:23.67
THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. MY
FRIEND, ROBERT McSWEENEY.
00:13:23.67\00:13:29.60
HE LIVED ON A DAIRY FARM.
SURROUNDED BY DAIRY FARMS.
00:13:29.60\00:13:35.31
WE STAYED AT ROBERT'S PLACE.
11 YEARS OLD, TEN YEARS OLD, I
00:13:35.31\00:13:40.65
DON'T KNOW. HE
SAID GO AND GRAB HOLD OF
00:13:40.65\00:13:43.12
THAT ELECTRIC FENCE.
I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD AN
00:13:43.12\00:13:47.19
ELECTRIC FENCE!
HE SAID, GO AHEAD.
00:13:47.19\00:13:50.86
NOPE. >> I'LL DO IT.
00:13:50.86\00:13:53.76
HE GRABBED THE ELECTRIC
FENCE. OH, OKAY, I'LL DO IT.
00:13:53.76\00:14:01.40
HE KNEW WHICH WIRE WAS
LIVE AND WHICH WAS NOT.
00:14:01.40\00:14:05.84
HE POINTED ME TO THE
ONE THAT WAS GOOD AND HOT.
00:14:05.84\00:14:09.14
GRAB HOLD OF
THAT ELECTRIC FENCE.
00:14:09.14\00:14:12.61
BOOM! PROBABLY
WANE THE WORST SHOCK
00:14:12.61\00:14:15.12
BUT I KICKED
BACK. AND THAT WAS THAT.
00:14:15.12\00:14:20.39
WHEN YOU GRAB HOLD OF AN
ELECTRIC WIRE, IT IS GOING TO
00:14:20.39\00:14:23.96
CHANGE YOU. IT WILL ALTER YOU.
00:14:23.96\00:14:29.30
WHEN YOU GRAB HOLD OF
JESUS AND YOU HAVE THAT POWER
00:14:29.30\00:14:34.17
RUNNING THROUGH YOU,
IT'S GOING TO ALTER YOU.
00:14:34.17\00:14:37.54
IN FACT, IT'S
GOING TO CHANGE YOU.
00:14:37.54\00:14:39.84
SO MY YOUNG FRIENDS AT THE
CONVENTION WHO IS ALL WORRIED
00:14:39.84\00:14:44.98
ABOUT BEING PERFECT ENOUGH.
I SAID YOU JUST GRAB HOLD OF
00:14:44.98\00:14:48.72
JESUS. HE WILL CHANGE YOU.
00:14:48.72\00:14:50.89
HE WILL GROW YOU AND YOU
JUST KEEP ON GROWING AND KEEP ON
00:14:50.89\00:14:54.56
LETTING HIM CHANGE YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
00:14:54.56\00:14:57.89
ARTIFICIAL CON INSTRUCT THAT
SOME PHARISEE PLACES ON YOU.
00:14:57.89\00:15:03.77
YOU HAVE TO GET TO HERE.
YOU HAVE TO BE A CHILD OF GOD.
00:15:03.77\00:15:08.24
CAN YOU GUARANTEES THE
PERSON WHO TOLD THAW IS
00:15:08.24\00:15:11.11
DYSFUNCTIONAL. YOU
JUST GRAB HOLD OF JESUS.
00:15:11.11\00:15:13.98
HOW MUCH CHANGE SHOULD THERE BE?
00:15:13.98\00:15:17.55
YOU'LL KNOW. YOU
WILL SAY CREATE IN HEE A
00:15:17.55\00:15:21.08
CLEAN HEART. YOU
WILL SAY SEARCH ME OH,
00:15:21.08\00:15:27.22
GOD. LEAD MEDIUM IN THE WAY.
00:15:27.22\00:15:33.40
YOU WILL SEE THE DEVILS
FINGERPRINTS ON YOUR LIFE.
00:15:33.40\00:15:37.40
YOU WILL WANTS THEM ALL GONE.
HOW MUCH GROWING DO I NEED TO
00:15:37.40\00:15:41.30
DO? THE BIBLE TELLS YOU.
00:15:41.30\00:15:44.21
COME TO THE MEASURE OF
THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST.
00:15:44.21\00:15:46.84
HOW DO I GET
THERE? GRAB HOLD OF JESUS.
00:15:46.84\00:15:56.95
YOU WILL WAGE
HARD BATTLES WITH SELF.
00:15:56.95\00:15:59.02
OF COURSE, YOU WILL.
YOU WERE RAISED IN A VIOLENT
00:15:59.02\00:16:02.89
HOME, NOW YOU HAVE
THIS TENDENCY TO BE VIOLATE.
00:16:02.89\00:16:10.80
SOMEONE, SOME ENEMY IN YOUR
LIFE RUBS YOUR FUR THE WRONG
00:16:10.80\00:16:15.50
WAY AND THAT RISES UP, YOU MAY
NEED TO WALK OUT OF THE ROOM.
00:16:15.50\00:16:20.04
YOU MAY NEED TO
GO OUTSIDE AND PRAY.
00:16:20.04\00:16:22.28
YOU MAY NEED TO GRIT
YOUR TEETH, PLEAD WITH GOD.
00:16:22.28\00:16:26.48
YOU CANNOT THE DO IT
WITH YOUR OWN STRENGTH.
00:16:26.48\00:16:29.78
WILL IT BE A BATTLE? SURE.
00:16:29.78\00:16:32.95
IF SOMEONE CALLS
YOU FROM THE PUB.
00:16:32.95\00:16:34.86
COME ON DOWN.
YOU'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR
00:16:34.86\00:16:36.49
THREE MONTHS. THE GAME IS ON!
00:16:36.49\00:16:40.93
LARRY IS IN FROM OUT OF TOWN.
YOU WAGE A STERN BATTLE WITH
00:16:40.93\00:16:48.14
SELF RIGHT NOW. LORD HELP ME.
00:16:48.14\00:16:50.47
EVERYTHING INSIDE ME
WANTS TO GO TO THE BAR.
00:16:50.47\00:16:53.17
YOU KNOW THAT
BEER WOULD TASTE GOOD.
00:16:53.17\00:16:56.78
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO LAUGH.
THESE CHRISTIANS DON'T LAUGH
00:16:56.78\00:17:01.28
THE WAY YOUR
FRIENDS IN THE WORLD DO.
00:17:01.28\00:17:07.56
THAT'S WHEN YOU APPEAL TO JESUS.
00:17:07.56\00:17:11.19
FLOOD MY LIFE,
HOLY SPIRIT FILL ME UP.
00:17:11.19\00:17:15.73
HOLY SPIRIT FILL ME UP.
AND YOU GROW THROUGH THAT.
00:17:15.73\00:17:19.93
YOU GROW THROUGH THAT.
THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF NAMING
00:17:19.93\00:17:27.78
JESUS, THIS
WILL TAKE ITS COURSE.
00:17:27.78\00:17:40.46
YOU FALL, FALL IN
THE DIRECTION OF JESUS.
00:17:40.46\00:17:44.86
FALL IN THE DIRECTION OF JESUS.
00:17:44.86\00:17:48.43
PETER SANK IS. JESUS
LIFTED HIM OUT OF THE
00:17:48.43\00:17:53.40
WATER. >> HOW ARE
YOU DOING, ARE YOU
00:17:53.40\00:18:04.05
GETTING? >> I'M LOVING IT.
00:18:04.05\00:18:05.68
I'M THINKING ABOUT MY OWN LIFE.
00:18:05.68\00:18:07.95
I'M THINKING
ABOUT OTHERS AROUND ME.
00:18:07.95\00:18:11.82
THIS IS SO RICH. SO GOOD.
00:18:11.82\00:18:16.83
I THINK THAT PEOPLE CAN JUST
GET SIDE-TRACKED AND THINK IF
00:18:16.83\00:18:22.80
I DO THIS, I'LL BE
WRONG. YOU DO THIS.
00:18:22.80\00:18:29.44
THEN YOU DO THIS, YOU'RE SAVED.
00:18:29.44\00:18:34.24
IT'S SO FREEING TO KNOW THAT
IT'S NOT A RESOLVING DOOR, BUT
00:18:34.24\00:18:39.85
YOUR SALVATION IS ASSURED.
YOU WILL FALL SOMETIMES BUT WE
00:18:39.85\00:18:46.02
FALL DOWN AND WE GET UP.
WE GET UP BECAUSE GOD PICKS US
00:18:46.02\00:18:50.53
UP. AS LONG AS
WE ABIDE IN HIM, WE
00:18:50.53\00:18:54.46
CAN MAKE IT. ONE
OF THE THINGS, TOO, IS
00:18:54.46\00:18:58.10
MAKING TIME FOR
GOD. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:18:58.10\00:19:02.47
THAT'S THE WAY
THAT YOU BECOME CHANGED.
00:19:02.47\00:19:07.68
IF YOU JUST COME TO GOD IN
TIME, THEN WHEN ARE YOU GOING
00:19:07.68\00:19:14.08
TO REGENERATE,
REJUVENATE. IT'S WHEN YOU REST.
00:19:14.08\00:19:17.55
WHEN YOU REST IN CHRIST AND
YOU PURSUE HIM, THAT IS WHEN
00:19:17.55\00:19:22.42
HE CHANGES YOU. >>
THIS IS WHERE IT IS
00:19:22.42\00:19:27.36
NUANCED. THERE IS
SOMETHING WE NEED TO
00:19:27.36\00:19:29.10
ADD. YOU HAVE TO PRAY.
00:19:29.10\00:19:30.23
YOU HAVE TO READ THE BIBLE.
YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR FOOD, YOUR
00:19:30.23\00:19:36.30
REST. WE MUST, WE MUST, WE MUST.
00:19:36.30\00:19:39.04
WE COULD TALK
ALL NIGHT ABOUT THAT.
00:19:39.04\00:19:40.94
LET ME SHARE ANOTHER --
PUT ANOTHER WRINKLE IN HERE.
00:19:40.94\00:19:45.91
THE ATHLETE IS WANTING TO WIN.
YOU TRAIN, YOUR REST RIGHT AND
00:19:45.91\00:19:51.19
EAT RIGHT, YOU TRAIN.
YOU DO THE WHOLE THING.
00:19:51.19\00:19:56.93
GET ON A HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM.
00:19:56.93\00:20:00.06
THEN YOU GET THE
SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP OR STATE
00:20:00.06\00:20:03.37
CHAMPIONSHIP, OLYMPIC GAMES,
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, WHATEVER
00:20:03.37\00:20:05.70
IT IS. YOU
STANDS ON THAT STARTING
00:20:05.70\00:20:07.64
LINE. YOU'RE HOPING TO WIN.
00:20:07.64\00:20:12.14
THEN THEY PLAY
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
00:20:12.14\00:20:15.91
THAT'S THE END OF THAT IS
THE END OF THE EXPERIENCE.
00:20:15.91\00:20:23.35
CHRISTIANITY, YOU
START ON THE VICTORY LINE.
00:20:23.35\00:20:29.56
YOU START THERE. WHEN
YOU ACCEPT JESUS, DO YOU
00:20:29.56\00:20:35.26
HAVE SALVATION, YES OR NO? YES.
00:20:35.26\00:20:38.80
>> YOU'VE WON. YOU
HAVE THE GOLD MEDAL ON
00:20:38.80\00:20:41.27
YOUR NECK LISTEN TO COME
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN HEAVEN.
00:20:41.27\00:20:44.37
GOD SAYS THIS IS MY BELOVED.
IN CHRISTIANITY, YOU START AT
00:20:44.37\00:20:50.78
VICTORY. IT'S YOURS TO LOSE.
00:20:50.78\00:20:54.32
IT'S YOURS TO LOSE.
SALVATION IS YOURS TO LOSE.
00:20:54.32\00:20:58.25
IT CAN ONLY BE THAT WAY.
WHEN YOU COME TO FAITH IN
00:20:58.25\00:21:01.22
JESUS CHRIST, YOU
RECEIVE THE GIFT OF SALVATION.
00:21:01.22\00:21:05.66
NOW WE ARE HOPING FOR OR
WORKING FOR, WE HAVE THE REST.
00:21:05.66\00:21:11.77
NOW WE PRESS ON AND WE
GROPE IN THE JESUS AND LEAVE THE
00:21:11.77\00:21:17.11
WORLD FURTHER
AND FURTHER BEHIND.
00:21:17.11\00:21:19.14
THIS IS THE
INEVITABILITY. YOU LOVE GOD.
00:21:19.14\00:21:21.64
YOU BECOME MORE
AND MORE LIKE CHRIST.
00:21:21.64\00:21:23.71
YOU START AT THE
PLACE OF VICTORY.
00:21:23.71\00:21:25.71
I WILL GUARANTEE YOU THERE ARE
PRECIOUS FEW CHRISTIANS IN ANY
00:21:25.71\00:21:33.59
CONGREGATION, WHO BELIEVE
SHE START AT A PLACE OF VICTORY.
00:21:33.59\00:21:37.23
HOW MANY PEOPLE, CAN
YOU RAISE YOUR HANDS.
00:21:37.23\00:21:43.63
ONE OF THEM A
FORMER PENTECOSTAL.
00:21:43.63\00:21:49.57
THEY KNOW THIS. THE
OTHER IS SOME DEAR OLD
00:21:49.57\00:21:54.18
LADY, SHE NDS BECAUSE SHE KNOWS.
00:21:54.18\00:22:02.28
HE DIDN'T WANT TO OUT HIMSELF.
THERE IS A FALSE HUMILIATE     
00:22:02.28\00:22:17.70
HUMILIATETY IN THE CHURCH.
SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY,
00:22:17.70\00:22:30.08
I AM CONVERTED. WE
EQUATE PERFORMANCE WITH
00:22:30.08\00:22:33.15
SALVATION.
BECAUSE WE DON'T LOOK LIKE
00:22:33.15\00:22:36.05
ENOCH, WE THINK WE ARE
NOT WHERE WE OUGHT TO BE.
00:22:36.05\00:22:42.96
IF YOU HAVE TRAJECTORY
YOU ARE SITTING WITH JESUS.
00:22:42.96\00:22:46.33
>> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A
BREAK AND THEN HAVE A SONG.
00:22:46.33\00:22:49.73
WE MAY HAVE A
LITTLE TIME AT THE ENDS.
00:22:49.73\00:22:51.40
WE ARE TRYING -- THIS
IS REALLY GOOD THE WAY IT'S
00:22:51.40\00:22:56.71
GOING. IF YOU
HAVE A QUESTION OR TWO,
00:22:56.71\00:22:59.44
FEEL FREE TO DO SO.

>> AMEN, THANK YOU PASTOR JOHN.
00:27:05.65\00:27:07.86
THE INCREDIBLE
GIFT HE HAS. I WILL GO.
00:27:07.86\00:27:15.26
PASTOR BRADSHAW, WE
WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD.
00:27:15.26\00:27:18.27
THIS IS REALLY
ENLIGHTENING, IT REALLY IS.
00:27:18.27\00:27:21.80
SO MANY TIMES WE ARE
ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER.
00:27:21.80\00:27:24.94
YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE US BACK
TO THE LORD AND REALIZE WE CAN
00:27:24.94\00:27:29.74
DO NOTHING OURSELF BUT WE CAN
ACCOMPLISH ALL THINGS THROUGH
00:27:29.74\00:27:34.42
CHRIST. WE'LL
TALK ABOUT HOW CHURCH
00:27:34.42\00:27:39.52
MEMBERS SHOULD TREAT
PEOPLE COMING IN THAT ARE NEW.
00:27:39.52\00:27:44.03
AND OTHERS THAT
COME FROM OTHER CHURCHES.
00:27:44.03\00:27:46.26
WE WANT TO OPEN OUR HANDS.
I'M AFRAID OF RUNNING PEOPLE
00:27:46.26\00:27:54.27
OUT OF THE CHURCH RATHER THAN
HELPING THEM TO COME IN AND BE
00:27:54.27\00:27:58.11
PART OF THE FAMILY.
>> THE DECISION IS THAT
00:27:58.11\00:28:00.68
CHRISTIANS GENERAL SPEAKING
ARE TOO JUDGMENTSAL AND TOO
00:28:00.68\00:28:03.71
CRITICAL. THIS IS
WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS.
00:28:03.71\00:28:13.56
THE PROBLEM IS WHEN WE
WANT PEOPLE TO BE JUST LIKE ME,
00:28:13.56\00:28:20.10
THAT'S NOT PUTTING IT VERY HIGH.
00:28:20.10\00:28:21.83
IT IS TRUE THAT PEOPLE WHO
ARE IN THE CHURCH ARE OFTEN
00:28:21.83\00:28:27.20
DISCOURAGED RATHER THAN
ENCOURAGED BECAUSE THEY ARE
00:28:27.20\00:28:29.04
LED TO BELIEVE THERE IS
FAULT IN THEIR EXPERIENCE.
00:28:29.04\00:28:32.84
THE CHURCH WAS NEVER DESIGNED
TO BE A COUNTRY CLUB WHERE WE
00:28:32.84\00:28:37.48
HAVE OUR BEST
CHRISTIANS ON DISPLAY.
00:28:37.48\00:28:40.72
YOUR CHURCH DOESN'T HAVE SOME
SINNERS AND THIS AND THAT AND
00:28:40.72\00:28:44.82
THE OTHER, THEN YOUR
CHURCH IS DOING A POOR JOB.
00:28:44.82\00:28:47.66
THAT'S JUST THE TRUTH.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY
00:28:47.66\00:28:50.36
WITH A SMOKING
PROBLEM, SOMEBODY STILL DRINKS,
00:28:50.36\00:28:53.93
SOMEBODY CURSES
WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T.
00:28:53.93\00:28:56.13
SOMEBODY WITH A DRUG PROBLEM.
JUST USING THOSE AS EXAMPLES.
00:28:56.13\00:29:04.47
IF YOU DON'T
HAVE ADULTERERS OR --
00:29:04.47\00:29:09.31
>> IF IT'S NOT GROWING.
>> SO WE OUGHT TO HAVE NEEM
00:29:09.31\00:29:15.62
OUR CHURCH, I DON'T MEAN
THE GLORY, BUT, OF COURSE WE'LL
00:29:15.62\00:29:20.52
HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR
CONGREGATIONS, AT LEAST WE
00:29:20.52\00:29:23.16
SHOULD. EVEN
THEN, IF YOU WINNOW OUT
00:29:23.16\00:29:27.83
THE REGULAR SINNERS,
THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SIN IN THE
00:29:27.83\00:29:32.60
CONGREGATION TO
SINK A BATTLE SHIP.
00:29:32.60\00:29:34.84
WE JUST HIDE IT WELL.
WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO CHURCH,
00:29:34.84\00:29:38.84
WHAT IN THE WORLD SHOULD I SAY.
00:29:38.84\00:29:43.14
>> YOU HAVE TO TELL
THEM. >> YOU HAVE TO.
00:29:43.14\00:29:48.22
I'LL TELL YOU A STORY. I
WAS IN CHURCH AND MY SON AND
00:29:48.22\00:29:57.29
HIS GIRLFRIEND AND MY DAUGHTER.
00:29:57.29\00:30:02.43
MY SON WAS ASKED
TO DO THE OFFERING.
00:30:02.43\00:30:06.13
HE DID. THE
SERVICE WAS LIVE ONLINE.
00:30:06.13\00:30:11.21
I HAD IT THERE
AND I LOOKED AWAY.
00:30:11.21\00:30:13.34
I WANTED TO WATCH MY SON.
MY 19-YEAR-OLD BOY DID THE
00:30:13.34\00:30:17.21
OFFERING. >> GOOD.
00:30:17.21\00:30:18.68
>> THEY GO TO CHURCH.
THIS IS JUST A TRADITIONAL
00:30:18.68\00:30:22.48
CHURCH. IT'S
NOT A YOUNG PERSON'S
00:30:22.48\00:30:25.49
CHURCH. IT'S JUST A CHURCH.
00:30:25.49\00:30:27.29
HE GOES TO CHURCH. THEY
ARE IN THE CAR, ABOUT TO
00:30:27.29\00:30:32.83
LEAVE. KNOCK KNOCK.
00:30:32.83\00:30:33.66
A KNOCK ON THE
WINDOW OF THE CAR.
00:30:33.66\00:30:37.50
A LADY SAYS, EXCUSE ME.
AND MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT,
00:30:37.50\00:30:42.17
THAT'S NICE. THIS
LADY IS COMING TO SAY
00:30:42.17\00:30:46.98
WELL DONE ON THE OFFERING.
GOOD TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE IN
00:30:46.98\00:30:49.48
THE CHURCH. SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT.
00:30:49.48\00:30:53.28
SHE SAID, I THINK YOU
NEED TO KNOW YOU CHILDREN WERE
00:30:53.28\00:30:57.49
DISTRACTING. AND
YOU'RE A DISTRACTION TO
00:30:57.49\00:30:59.22
SOME OF US. WE
WEREN'T ABLE TO FOCUS OWE
00:30:59.22\00:31:01.59
THE SERMON BECAUSE YOU
WERE TALKING TOO MUCH AMONG
00:31:01.59\00:31:06.23
YOURSELVES. WELL
YOU KNOW THEY WEREN'T
00:31:06.23\00:31:08.03
HAVING A PARTY. I
DON'T DEFEND THEM.
00:31:08.03\00:31:10.43
I GUARANTEE YOU THEY
WERE TALKING AMONG THEMSELVES.
00:31:10.43\00:31:13.27
I HAD A LADY TRY THAT
ON ME IN THE SAME CHURCH.
00:31:13.27\00:31:17.07
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID, YOU
NEED TO LEARN TO FOCUS MORE.
00:31:17.07\00:31:22.64
SHE SAID I WAS
BEING DISTRACTING.
00:31:22.64\00:31:24.91
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
IT'S NOT A MUSEUM, AT WORSHIP
00:31:24.91\00:31:28.95
SERVICE. YOU MAY
WANTS TO POINT OUT
00:31:28.95\00:31:30.89
SOMETHING IN THE BIBLE.
DID YOU HEAR THAT, WHATEVER
00:31:30.89\00:31:33.25
THE CASE WAS. DID
YOU SEE THAT LADY'S HAT.
00:31:33.25\00:31:35.69
OH, YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT THAT.
THESE KIDS -- I ASKED HOW DO
00:31:35.69\00:31:42.33
YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
HE SAID, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
00:31:42.33\00:31:45.70
WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT THIS
LADY MIGHT HAVE DONE IT TO A
00:31:45.70\00:31:50.27
KID WHO WOULD SAY
"I'M NEVER COMING BACK."
00:31:50.27\00:31:53.81
I WAS DISCOURAGED BY
THAT. THE LADY, SHE GOT A LITTLE
00:31:53.81\00:31:59.01
NASTY ABOUT IT. I
DON'T MINDS IF SHE'S
00:31:59.01\00:32:04.72
WATCHING. I'LL BE
IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY IF
00:32:04.72\00:32:06.55
YOU WANT TO CHASTISE
ME. I THINK YOU SHOULD.
00:32:06.55\00:32:11.43
WHAT ARE YOU
GETTING AT TEENAGERS FOR.
00:32:11.43\00:32:15.26
THEY WEREN'T
YELLING. THEY WEREN'T JOKING.
00:32:15.26\00:32:19.10
WHAT YOU EXPECT A BROTHER
AND A SISTER AND A BOY AND HIS
00:32:19.10\00:32:22.47
GIRLFRIEND WOULD BE.
WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT
00:32:22.47\00:32:25.71
THIS STUFF? WHY
DON'T YOU INVITE THEM FOR
00:32:25.71\00:32:30.11
LUNCH. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY WERE
00:32:30.11\00:32:31.08
GOING TO EAT,
MOTHER WASN'T THERE.
00:32:31.08\00:32:36.52
WHY DO THAT? I
GIRL CAME TO CHURCH, SHE
00:32:36.52\00:32:42.29
LOOKED LIKE -- I
DIDN'T SEE HER, ALL BLACK.
00:32:42.29\00:32:47.13
LOOKED LIKE A -- BLACK
EVERYTHING, BLACK LIPSTICK.
00:32:47.13\00:32:53.87
>> GOTHIC. >> 19 YEARS OLD.
00:32:53.87\00:32:57.61
SHE IS PROBABLY DOING IT TO
GET A RISE OUT OF HER PARENTS.
00:32:57.61\00:33:01.31
SHE BROUGHT HER FRIEND ALONG
AND SHE WAS LIKE HALLOWEEN AS
00:33:01.31\00:33:04.48
WELL IS. A LADY
SAID, YOU CAN'T COME IN
00:33:04.48\00:33:07.55
HERE. >> OH, NO.
00:33:07.55\00:33:09.62
>> YOU GIRLS NEED
TO GO HOME AND CHANGE.
00:33:09.62\00:33:12.19
I WAS FIT TO BE TIED. THE
CHURCH SERVICE WAS LIVE ON
00:33:12.19\00:33:18.16
TELEVISION. I
DIDN'T CARE THAT THE WHOLE
00:33:18.16\00:33:20.36
COUNTY WAS
WATCHING. I ADDRESS THE THE
00:33:20.36\00:33:23.73
CONGREGATION. I SAID
THESE THINGS ARE NOT TO
00:33:23.73\00:33:26.27
BE. THE HEAD GREETER WOULD NOT
00:33:26.27\00:33:28.24
TELL ME WHO IT WAS. I
SAID TO THE CONGREGATION, IF
00:33:28.24\00:33:35.01
I FIND OUT WHO IT
IS, I'LL BE VISITING YOU.
00:33:35.01\00:33:39.95
SHOULD 19-YEAR-OLD KIDS DRESS
LIKE SOMETHING FROM A HORROR
00:33:39.95\00:33:43.35
MOREOVER? WHY
ARE YOU ASKING THAT
00:33:43.35\00:33:45.12
QUESTION?
19-YEAR-OLD KIDS DO WHAT THEY
00:33:45.12\00:33:47.46
DO. THE BEST
PLACE FOR THEM TO DO
00:33:47.46\00:33:52.13
IS IN CHURCH. LET'S
NOT STRETCH THIS TOO
00:33:52.13\00:33:54.76
FAR. WE DON'T INVITE KIDS TO DO
00:33:54.76\00:33:57.37
DRUGS IN CHURCH. BUT
INSTEAD OF GETTING ON
00:33:57.37\00:33:59.60
PEOPLE, HAVE THE LOVE FOR THEM.
00:33:59.60\00:34:08.21
SIT DOWN AND SAY, GIRL
WITH THE STRANGE BLACK MAKEUP, I
00:34:08.21\00:34:12.25
DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME. MY
NAME IS MABEL, WHO ARE YOU?
00:34:12.25\00:34:16.65
ARE YOU EDDIE'S NIECE?
I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE HE WAS A
00:34:16.65\00:34:21.99
BOY. WILL YOU
BE HERE NEXT WEEKEN
00:34:21.99\00:34:25.03
THIS GIRL WILL BE DRESSED JUST
FINE, GIVE HER A FEW DAYS OR
00:34:25.03\00:34:28.83
WEEKS OR MONTHS. SHE WILL GROW.
00:34:28.83\00:34:31.47
WE WANT PEOPLE TO GROW.
>> AND PEOPLE, WE DO THAT.
00:34:31.47\00:34:36.94
WE WORK WITH MUSICIANS,
SOME OF THEM AREN'T BY FAITH AND
00:34:36.94\00:34:40.68
SOME OF THEM WROTE SOME SONGS.
WE WENT THROUGH A UNIVERSITY
00:34:40.68\00:34:48.12
GOT ADVENTIST
BOOKS, BEGAN TO READ.
00:34:48.12\00:34:51.05
THIS GUY TOLD ME I'M SO
EXCITED ABOUT THIS MESSAGE.
00:34:51.05\00:34:53.76
I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR YEARS.
00:34:53.76\00:34:56.42
BUT I WRITE A
SONG ON THE SABBATH.
00:34:56.42\00:35:05.67
THEY FOUND OUT THE GUY WHO
WROTE IT WAS A MEMBER OF THE
00:35:05.67\00:35:08.27
CHURCH. HE SAID
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS
00:35:08.27\00:35:10.27
AND YOU'RE NOT A
MEMBER OF THE CHURCH.
00:35:10.27\00:35:14.58
WE HAD THAT ON NUMEROUS TIMES,
YOU HAVE TO LET PEOPLE ZERO.
00:35:14.58\00:35:20.48
ONE OF THESE EARLIER SAID
WE COULD USE IT AT ANY TIME.
00:35:20.48\00:35:29.42
A GUY CALLED ME IN TENNESSEE,
HAD A 3,000 SQUARE FOOT NEW
00:35:29.42\00:35:34.46
BRICK HOME. HE SAID
I WANT TO DONATE THIS
00:35:34.46\00:35:37.60
TO 3ABN. I SAID
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
00:35:37.60\00:35:39.60
HIS WIFE HAD BEEN
WITH ME ON A TRIP.
00:35:39.60\00:35:43.14
WE STOPPED FOR FAST
FOOD, McDONALD'S AND ORDERED A
00:35:43.14\00:35:48.24
FISH SANDWICH. I SAID
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU BUT
00:35:48.24\00:35:51.58
NO ONE WILL EVER EAT
ANY MEAT OR EVEN FISH.
00:35:51.58\00:35:58.89
I KNEW I HAD EATEN FISH.
I SAID, REALLY, JESUS ATE
00:35:58.89\00:36:05.59
FISH. YOU KNOW WHAT HE BASICALLY
00:36:05.59\00:36:08.16
TOLD ME, HE DIDN'T HAVE --
IT WAS BASICALLY THAT'S WHAT I
00:36:08.16\00:36:14.57
SAID IN SO MANY WAYS.
I SAID YOU CAN KEEP YOUR
00:36:14.57\00:36:28.22
PROPERTY. WE
DON'T NEED THAT TYPE OF
00:36:28.22\00:36:30.59
LEGALISM. WE HAVE
WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND
00:36:30.59\00:36:34.49
WONDERFUL CHURCHES AND
I'M THANKFUL THAT WE DO.
00:36:34.49\00:36:36.56
WE ARE HITTING ON
SOME OF THE EXTREMES.
00:36:36.56\00:36:39.19
BUT WE WANT TO IT THINK THAT
NO MATTER WHAT WE LOOK LIKE,
00:36:39.19\00:36:44.97
THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE THE
HOLY SPIRIT SENT THEM THERE.
00:36:44.97\00:36:48.74
IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
AND PRIVILEGE TO LOVER ON THESE
00:36:48.74\00:36:51.27
FOLKS. THANK YOU
FOR ALL THAT YOU DO,
00:36:51.27\00:36:54.04
MANY OF YOU DO THAT
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:36:54.04\00:36:56.78
>> THIS IS NUANCED. I'M
HOPING ANYONE W.H.O. HEARS
00:36:56.78\00:37:01.22
THIS WILL HEAR IT WITH
THEIR COMMON SENSE ENGAGED.
00:37:01.22\00:37:05.45
ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND THE
SPIRIT OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING
00:37:05.45\00:37:07.76
TO SAY HERE. YOU LOVE PEOPLE.
00:37:07.76\00:37:09.92
YOU LOVE THEM IN. AND THEY GROW.
00:37:09.92\00:37:12.43
JUST IN THE SAME
WAY THAT WE GREW.
00:37:12.43\00:37:15.16
WE'RE NOT WHERE
WE WERE 20 YEARS AGO.
00:37:15.16\00:37:20.30
AND LOVE, EDUCATE KINDLY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM
00:37:20.30\00:37:23.71
THE RIOT ACT, IF YOU THINK SHE
WILL BENEFIT, BE AS PRAYERFUL
00:37:23.71\00:37:32.18
AS YOU CAN. YOU
DON'T NEED TO START WORLD
00:37:32.18\00:37:35.82
WAR III. LET PEOPLE GROW.
00:37:35.82\00:37:39.29
LOVE THEM. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:37:39.29\00:37:41.69
>> BE THEIR FRIENDS.
>> I THINK WE TRY TO BE
00:37:41.69\00:37:45.76
SOMETIMES AND CONVICT
PEOPLE. LET GOD DO WHAT HE DOES.
00:37:45.76\00:37:51.57
WE SHOULD LOVE PEOPLE.
>> CAN WE DO A COUPLE OF
00:37:51.57\00:37:55.44
QUESTIONS? WE
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.
00:37:55.44\00:37:57.47
>> THIS ONE SAYS, A
VIEWER IS HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME
00:37:57.47\00:38:00.88
STOPPING
SMOKING. WHAT CAN THEY DO?
00:38:00.88\00:38:03.21
>> THEY CAN
STOP, JUST LIKE THAT.
00:38:03.21\00:38:06.35
THAT IS A SIMPLISTIC
ANSWER. I WOULD PRAY.
00:38:06.35\00:38:14.92
BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN.
BELIEVE THAT YOU CANNOT.
00:38:14.92\00:38:17.66
CLAIM THE PROMISES OF THE
BIBLE THAT SPEAK TO THIS, IF
00:38:17.66\00:38:22.40
YOU NEED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY,
GET AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER.
00:38:22.40\00:38:26.23
HAVE SOMEONE THAT WILL
WALK ON THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU.
00:38:26.23\00:38:30.27
WHAT WE CAN'T DO IS BE
A LITTLE TOO SIMPLISTIC.
00:38:30.27\00:38:40.28
YOU CAN GO FIVE
MINUTES. CAN YOU GO TEN.
00:38:40.28\00:38:42.72
CAN YOU GO FIVE MORE. I
ASKED A MAN DO YOU THINK YOU
00:38:42.72\00:38:47.92
CAN QUIT SMOKING. NOT
SMOKING THE REST OF MY
00:38:47.92\00:38:52.96
LIFE. I SAID HOW ABOUT UNTIL
00:38:52.96\00:38:54.76
TOMORROW. WHEN HE
BROKE IT DOWN, HE SAID
00:38:54.76\00:38:58.17
THIS IS POSSIBLE. I
CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH
00:38:58.17\00:39:02.14
CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENED
ME. YOU HAVE THE POWER.
00:39:02.14\00:39:05.57
I DON'T. IF YOU
TALK TO SOMEONE WHO CAN
00:39:05.57\00:39:09.98
TELL YOU THESE THINGS AND MORE.
00:39:09.98\00:39:11.65
IF THERE IS A LOCAL PASTOR.
THEY WILL HAVE A PLAN, THEY
00:39:11.65\00:39:15.75
WILL GET NEW A FIVE-DAY
PLAN. SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
00:39:15.75\00:39:19.75
CAN WE HAVE A PRAYER FOR
AND THE FOLKS LISTENING TO THIS.
00:39:19.75\00:39:26.19
CAN WE HAVE A
PRAYER? >> LET'S DO THAT.
00:39:26.19\00:39:29.00
OUR FATHER, I WANT TO
CLAIM YOUR PROMISES FOR THIS
00:39:29.00\00:39:31.80
INDIVIDUAL. I CAN
DO ALL THINGS THROUGH
00:39:31.80\00:39:34.44
CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.
HE SHALL GUN THE WORK IN YOU
00:39:34.44\00:39:40.04
IS FAITHFUL TO
PERFORM. AND PEOPLE DEALING WITH
00:39:40.04\00:39:43.75
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS AND
ALL MANNER OF ADDICTIONS.
00:39:43.75\00:39:48.85
FATHER, WE LOOK TO YOU TO HELP
THEM ESPECIALLY THAT YOU DO IT
00:39:48.85\00:39:53.25
NOW. AND WE BELIEVE IT.
00:39:53.25\00:39:55.26
WE PRAY IN JESUS NAME. >> AMEN.
00:39:55.26\00:39:59.19
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.
>> WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION
00:39:59.19\00:40:06.03
WHAT IS THE
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:40:06.03\00:40:08.90
>> IT'S SUPER SIMPLE.
WHEN YOU COME TO FAITH IN
00:40:08.90\00:40:12.57
JESUS CHRIST, GOD GIVES YOU
THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:40:12.57\00:40:17.15
THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES TO
YOUR LIFE AND WILL FILL YOU,
00:40:17.15\00:40:20.58
BRINGING THE PRESENCE
OF JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE.
00:40:20.58\00:40:23.49
THIS IS THE
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:40:23.49\00:40:27.52
YOU AND JESUS -- I WASN'T
INTENDING TO TALK ABOUT THE
00:40:27.52\00:40:33.46
HOLY SPIRIT TONIGHT.
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY.
00:40:33.46\00:40:36.36
THE SPIRIT GOES OUT
AND THE MAN IS EMPTY.
00:40:36.36\00:40:39.97
THEN THE SPIRITS COME IN MORE.
ONE THING TO HAVE THE SIN GUN
00:40:39.97\00:40:46.21
OR THE SPIRIT GONE, BUT
YOU NEED TO BE FILLED WITH THE
00:40:46.21\00:40:49.34
HOLY SPIRIT. YOU
CAN PRAY AND YOU SHOULD
00:40:49.34\00:40:51.38
PRAY FOR A FRESH BAPTISM OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT EVERY SINGLE
00:40:51.38\00:40:55.65
DAY. IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
00:40:55.65\00:40:57.05
LIFE AND DEATH. HE IS
AND WE SHOULD BE PRAYING
00:40:57.05\00:41:01.52
EVERY DAY GOD WILL FILL US
WITH HIS PRESENCE AND WITH THE
00:41:01.52\00:41:05.09
POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
PRAY FOR THAT BAPTISM OF THE
00:41:05.09\00:41:10.73
HOLY SPIRIT. >> HE
FILLS YOU WITH HIMSELF
00:41:10.73\00:41:14.27
AND OFFERS YOU IRRECK KEABLE.
WE PRAY AND GOD FILLS US WITH
00:41:14.27\00:41:21.88
HIMSELF THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:41:21.88\00:41:27.22
>> MANY CHURCHES SAY WHEN
SPEAKING IN TONGUE THAT'S THE
00:41:27.22\00:41:30.02
GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET INTO
00:41:30.02\00:41:33.32
ALL OF THAT. >> IT
IS A GIFT OF THE SPIRIT.
00:41:33.32\00:41:37.83
THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE
BAPTISTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:41:37.83\00:41:44.70
DON'T CONFUSE THE
GIFT OF THE SPIRIT.
00:41:44.70\00:41:47.04
GOD CHOOSES WHO GETS WHAT GIFT
WITH THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY
00:41:47.04\00:41:51.81
SPIRIT. >> YOU'RE SAYING WHEN WE
00:41:51.81\00:41:53.58
INVITE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO
OUR LIFE, AND WE GET THAT HOLY
00:41:53.58\00:41:58.05
SPIRIT, LORD, COME INTO MY
LIFE, TAKE OVER, CONFESS YOUR
00:41:58.05\00:42:02.05
SIN. WE MENTIONED.
00:42:02.05\00:42:05.02
I WANT TO GO AND TELL WHAT YOU
HAVE DONE FOR ME, I NEED YOU,
00:42:05.02\00:42:09.72
HOLY SPIRIT.
THAT'S REALLY THE GIFT.
00:42:09.72\00:42:19.13
I'M AMAZED BECAUSE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAID, HE SAID
00:42:19.13\00:42:28.04
YOU ARE LIKE A HORSE WITH
BLINDERS ON BECAUSE YOU DON'T
00:42:28.04\00:42:31.45
HAVE THE GIFT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:42:31.45\00:42:33.62
I SAID REALLY? WE
TALKED ABOUT KEEPING
00:42:33.62\00:42:35.98
COMMANDS AND WHAT HAVE
YOU. HE SAID UNLESS YOU SPEAK IN
00:42:35.98\00:42:40.02
TONGUE YOU'RE A
HORSE WITH BLINDERS.
00:42:40.02\00:42:42.49
I SAID HOW AMAZING, WE HAVE
OTHERS WITNESSING TO MILLIONS
00:42:42.49\00:42:51.57
OF PEOPLE AND THOUSANDS OF
FOLKS CAME TO THE LORD AND DID
00:42:51.57\00:42:55.34
THAT WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WOULDN'T THAT BE AMAZING?
00:42:55.34\00:43:02.51
WE HAVE MEETINGS AND SO
FAR THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE
00:43:02.51\00:43:11.59
BAPTIZED. THE HOLY
SPIRIT SURE SHOWS UP
00:43:11.59\00:43:13.96
WHEN THE WORD IS
PREACHED. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:43:13.96\00:43:19.06
WE HAVE 10 OR 12 MINUTES LEFT.
WE'LL RECAP SOME OF WHAT, FOR
00:43:19.06\00:43:24.57
THOSE JOINING US
IN THE SECOND HOUR.
00:43:24.57\00:43:27.64
YOU HIT IT PRETTY STRONG.
YOU TALKED ABOUT PERFECTION
00:43:27.64\00:43:31.67
AND DO YOU NEED TO BE
BAPTIZED, ARE YOU PERFECT.
00:43:31.67\00:43:34.74
I WANT YOU TO HIT AND MAKE
IT CLEAR FOR US, THE DIFFERENCE
00:43:34.74\00:43:41.25
IN PEOPLE, THEY HAVE TO BE
PERFECT AND YOU TALKED TO A
00:43:41.25\00:43:46.39
YOUNG MAN, THE ONES THE
PASTOR SAID PEOPLE KEEP SINNING.
00:43:46.39\00:43:51.16
>> YEAH. >> I WANT
TO BREAK THAT DOWN.
00:43:51.16\00:43:53.56
JUST LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE
SMOKING AND ALL THESE OTHER
00:43:53.56\00:43:57.70
THINGS. WE ARE
STRUGGLING WITH THAT
00:43:57.70\00:43:58.93
EVERY DAY. NOW
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
00:43:58.93\00:44:01.77
WANTING EVERYBODY TO LISTEN NOW.
00:44:01.77\00:44:03.54
WE HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THAT
GAME TO THE LEFT, THIS GUY TO
00:44:03.54\00:44:07.08
THE RIGHT.
PROBABLY VERY FEW OF US ARE
00:44:07.08\00:44:09.91
LOOKING AT OURSELF,
CONSIDERING THAT WE ARE ON ONE
00:44:09.91\00:44:13.08
SIDE OR THE OTHER. I
HAVE A FEELING THAT THOSE OF
00:44:13.08\00:44:18.02
US ARE AND DON'T KNOW
IT. >> I KNOW IT'S TRUE.
00:44:18.02\00:44:24.83
WHEN WE BEGAN, WE TALKED
ABOUT THE ATHLETES TAKING
00:44:24.83\00:44:28.30
PMPLEGGANCE ENHANCING --
PERFORMANCE ENHANCING THIRD.
00:44:28.30\00:44:32.33
IF YOU COME IN THIRD, YOU
DO NOT GET YOUR FACE ON THE
00:44:32.33\00:44:36.40
WHEATIES BOX AND YOU DON'T
GET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
00:44:36.40\00:44:39.81
DOLLARS. YOU'RE JUST THIRD.
00:44:39.81\00:44:42.51
SHIRLEY CAME HOME FROM MONTREAL.
00:44:42.51\00:44:46.11
SHE GOT THIRD, A
SURVEIL AND GOLD.
00:44:46.11\00:44:48.12
SHE WENT BACK TO HER JOB
DELIVERING THE MAIL IN ORANGE
00:44:48.12\00:44:52.25
COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. SHE
WON GOLD MEDALS SHE WOULD
00:44:52.25\00:44:55.39
HAVE BEEN ON T.V., SHE WOULD
HAVE A CONTRACT WITH SPEEDO OR
00:44:55.39\00:45:01.26
NIKE. WE WOULD BE READ BEING HER
00:45:01.26\00:45:04.13
LIKE MARK    MARK MARK SPITSZ.
WHY DID THEY TAKE PERFORMANCE
00:45:04.13\00:45:11.31
ENHANCING DRUGS?
BECAUSE THEIR BEST WASN'T GOOD
00:45:11.31\00:45:13.17
ENOUGH. OUR BEST
IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
00:45:13.17\00:45:15.88
WHERE IS THE PERFORMANCE
ENHANCING DRUG FOR US?
00:45:15.88\00:45:19.18
WEATHER APP WE
NEED IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:45:19.18\00:45:23.75
HOW DO WE
RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:45:23.75\00:45:25.49
WE ASK. IF YOU HOW
MUCH MORE WILL YOUR
00:45:25.49\00:45:32.59
HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE.
THE SPIRIT OF GOD BRINGS THE
00:45:32.59\00:45:38.40
PERSONAL PRESENTATION OF CHRIST.
00:45:38.40\00:45:39.90
HE BRINGS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
NOW I'M GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD.
00:45:39.90\00:45:44.57
YOU UNDERSTAND?
BECAUSE I HAVE HIS GOODNESS.
00:45:44.57\00:45:49.44
THESE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO BE
GOOD ARE TRYING TOBACCO GOD.
00:45:49.44\00:45:54.78
JESUS SAYS THERE IS ONLY
ONE GOOD AND THAT'S THE FATHER.
00:45:54.78\00:45:58.12
YOU TRY TO BE
GOOD, YOU TRY TO BE GOD.
00:45:58.12\00:46:02.86
WE HAVE NO GOODNESS. OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS, IT'S NOT A
00:46:02.86\00:46:11.33
THING WE NEED AS A PERSON.
JESUS BRINGS HIS PRESENCE.
00:46:11.33\00:46:17.54
HE BRINGS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
THAT IS PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:46:17.54\00:46:21.88
I BELIEVE I HAVE IT BY FAITH.
I EXPERIENCE RIGHTEOUSNESS BY
00:46:21.88\00:46:27.25
FAITH. IT'S
PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:46:27.25\00:46:31.82
NOW, THE FLIP SIDE.
PASTOR ARE YOU SAYING UNLESS I
00:46:31.82\00:46:36.76
AM WITH JESUS MY
LIFE DOESN'T CHANGE.
00:46:36.76\00:46:39.33
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE
A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:46:39.33\00:46:43.20
JESUS AND NOT
CHANGE. HE WILL CHANGE YOU.
00:46:43.20\00:46:46.23
LIKE GRABBING
THE ELECTRIC FENCE.
00:46:46.23\00:46:48.40
IT WILL CHANGE
YOU. IT WILL CHANGE YOU.
00:46:48.40\00:46:50.01
IF YOU HAVE A POT AND PUT
IT IN THE SUN AND ADD MIRACLE
00:46:50.01\00:46:57.88
GROW, IT WILL GROW.
WHEN WE ARE IN CHRIST WE ARE
00:46:57.88\00:47:01.75
IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND WE GROW.
00:47:01.75\00:47:03.52
HOW MUCH WE GROW, IN THE
STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF
00:47:03.52\00:47:07.92
CHRIST. YOU DON'T
GROW BY SAYING I'LL
00:47:07.92\00:47:11.23
TRY HARDER. YOU
GROW BY SURRENDERING.
00:47:11.23\00:47:14.93
LORD, TAKE MY LIFE.
SO WE CAN ALL THINK ABOUT
00:47:14.93\00:47:19.90
SOMETHING, WHETHER IT'S
ATTITUDE OR OUR PRIDE OR
00:47:19.90\00:47:23.04
TOUCHER OR
DISHONESTY, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
00:47:23.04\00:47:27.88
IT BOTHERS US. IT SHOULD.
00:47:27.88\00:47:30.38
UNTIL WE SAY,
LORD, NO MORE OF THIS.
00:47:30.38\00:47:34.62
CHANGE ME. TAKE THAT AWAY.
00:47:34.62\00:47:38.05
SOMEONE RUBS YOU THE
WRONG WAY AND YOU SNAP.
00:47:38.05\00:47:43.36
JESUS SAYS -- YOU MAY
SAY, DON'T BOTHER ME NOW.
00:47:43.36\00:47:46.80
HE WILL COME BACK AGAIN, REALLY?
00:47:46.80\00:47:49.33
HE WILL KEEP BUGGING YOU UNTIL
YOU SAY, YOU'RE RIGHT, CHANGE
00:47:49.33\00:47:53.17
MY HEART, CHANGE MY
HEART, CHANGE MY HEART.
00:47:53.17\00:47:56.81
>> THE VICTORY REALLY IS JESUS.
00:47:56.81\00:47:59.11
NO MATTER WHAT WE DO,
WE CAN'T WIN THAT RACE.
00:47:59.11\00:48:04.08
>> NOT THE SPIRITUAL RACE.
>> THAT'S WHAT DO YOU BECAUSE
00:48:04.08\00:48:12.05
ACCORDING TO NO MATTER WHAT I
DO, I CAN'T BE SAVED OF MY OWN
00:48:12.05\00:48:18.89
SELF. THERE IS NO WAY, LIKE THE
00:48:18.89\00:48:21.63
ATHLETES WHO TOOK
ALL OF THOSE DRUGS.
00:48:21.63\00:48:24.37
IN OUR CASE WHEN WE SUBMIT AND
COMMIT OUR LIFE TO HIM AND HIS
00:48:24.37\00:48:29.44
RIGHTEOUSNESS. SO
IT'S HIS VICTORY ON THE
00:48:29.44\00:48:34.01
CROSS WITH HIS SALVATION GIVES
US THE VICTORY AND GIVES THAT
00:48:34.01\00:48:37.28
TO US. BECAUSE YOU ARE WILLING,
00:48:37.28\00:48:40.38
BECAUSE YOU SEE YOUR NEED
AFTER SAVIOR, BECAUSE I KNOW
00:48:40.38\00:48:43.89
IN THE FLESH
YOU ARE NOT PERFECT.
00:48:43.89\00:48:45.92
NOW SINCE YOU REALIZE THAT
AND YOU HAVE ASKED ME TO FORGIVE
00:48:45.92\00:48:48.22
YOU FROM YOUR SINS, I
AM WILLING TO DO THAT.
00:48:48.22\00:48:53.60
ONCE WE DO THIS, GO
AND TELL WHAT I HAVE DONE.
00:48:53.60\00:48:58.87
THE FLIP SIDE IS SOMEONE
SAYING YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
00:48:58.87\00:49:07.64
BEAST, WHATEVER, WHAT ABOUT
MY WEBSITE I SHOULDN'T LOOK AT.
00:49:07.64\00:49:11.71
WHAT ABOUT THIS AND
THIS. YOU ARE GROWING NOW.
00:49:11.71\00:49:14.15
YOU ARE GROWING.
YOU WILL SEE GROWTH.
00:49:14.15\00:49:17.79
A CHILD THAT STAYS
A CHILD IS A TRAGEDY.
00:49:17.79\00:49:24.99
THE CHILD IS GOING TO GROW
AND BECOME A MAN OR A WOMAN.
00:49:24.99\00:49:29.30
YOU WILL GROW BECAUSE YOUR
FEET ARE IN THE DIRT OF THE
00:49:29.30\00:49:33.40
WORD OF GOD. I HOPE
IT'S OKAY TO CALL THE
00:49:33.40\00:49:39.11
WORD OF GOD DIRT, YOU
KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
00:49:39.11\00:49:41.51
YOU'RE DRINKING IN GOD'S
WORD, RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:49:41.51\00:49:44.88
YOU ARE GOING TO GROW.
OUR FOCUS IS ON SPIRITUAL
00:49:44.88\00:49:48.45
GROWTH. WE ARE PRAYING, WE ARE
00:49:48.45\00:49:51.45
READING, WE ARE PRAYING WE ARE
SHARING OUR FOCUS IS ON JESUS.
00:49:51.45\00:49:55.79
WE DO THIS JOYFULLY
KNOWING THAT WE HAVE THE GIFT OF
00:49:55.79\00:50:00.56
SALVATION AND HAVE
RECEIVED HIS PERFECT LOVE.
00:50:00.56\00:50:05.20
>> THIS IS SO, SO RICH.
WHEN WE REALIZE THAT IT IS GOD
00:50:05.20\00:50:13.91
WHO THROUGH US, IT'S NOT
US. SO GOD DOESN'T SAY, OKAY FOR
00:50:13.91\00:50:20.05
SAKE THE SIN ON YOUR
OWN. LET GO OF THE SIN.
00:50:20.05\00:50:25.39
WE CAN'T DO IT. BUT
HE GIVES US THE POWER TO
00:50:25.39\00:50:28.19
DO IT AND THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS OUR GUARANTEE.
00:50:28.19\00:50:30.93
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
HE IS OUR GUARANTEE.
00:50:30.93\00:50:35.16
SO WE ARE FILLED THROUGH
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:50:35.16\00:50:40.80
WE DON'T NEED TO BE DISCOURAGED.
00:50:40.80\00:50:44.71
BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR OWN POWER
THAT WILL GIVE US THE VICTORY.
00:50:44.71\00:50:49.24
>> AS PAUL WROTE TO THE COL
-- THE SMOKER WHO CALLED US WITH
00:50:49.24\00:50:59.39
THE QUESTION. THE
DRINKER, THE LIAR.
00:50:59.39\00:51:04.23
GET ON HIS KNEES OR SIT IN A
CHAIR, I DON'T CARE AND SAY TO
00:51:04.23\00:51:08.56
GOD, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
BECAUSE I'M YOUR CHILD AND
00:51:08.56\00:51:13.44
THIS SIN IS EATING
ME UP. I CANNOT BEAT IT.
00:51:13.44\00:51:16.54
I WANT TO. BUT I CANNOT.
00:51:16.54\00:51:19.21
THIS IS YOUR
PROBLEM. IT'S YOUR BATTLE.
00:51:19.21\00:51:22.48
IT'S YOUR FIGHT. I
GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO COME
00:51:22.48\00:51:26.48
IN MY LIFE AND SLAY THE
GIANT. I TRUST THAT YOU WILL.
00:51:26.48\00:51:30.92
IT'S ONE OF THE REASON DAVID
AND GOLIATH IS IN THE BOOK TO
00:51:30.92\00:51:36.59
SHOW YOU GIANTS CAN BE SLAIN.
IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD THIS
00:51:36.59\00:51:43.40
THING THAT'S
BUGGING YOU IS HIS PROBLEM.
00:51:43.40\00:51:50.51
IT IS GOD'S PROBLEM BECAUSE
I CANNOT PUT IT AWAY, BUT HE
00:51:50.51\00:51:57.31
CAN. COME ON, GOD, SHOW US WHAT
00:51:57.31\00:52:00.65
YOU'VE GOT. I
NEED TO YOU GIVE ME THE
00:52:00.65\00:52:02.62
VICTORY. KEEP
PUSHING IT BACK ON GOD
00:52:02.62\00:52:05.72
AND WE SURRENDER. WE KNEEL.
00:52:05.72\00:52:09.29
WE COOPERATE. THIS IS
ON GOD TO DO FOR US WE
00:52:09.29\00:52:15.63
CANNOT DO OURSELVES. >>
SO WHEN WE DO IT WE BECOME
00:52:15.63\00:52:18.73
THE HAPPIEST, MOST EXISTED
PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH AND
00:52:18.73\00:52:23.30
PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW WHEN THEY
TALK TO US, WHEN THEY SEE US,
00:52:23.30\00:52:28.68
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD AND
FOR THAT IT PRIZE THAT GOD HAS
00:52:28.68\00:52:32.31
GIVEN US. AS WE
HAVE READ THE BACK OF
00:52:32.31\00:52:34.92
THE BOOK AND THEY SAY THEY
OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF
00:52:34.92\00:52:39.35
THE LAMB AND THE
WORD OF THE TESTIMONY.
00:52:39.35\00:52:41.52
THE FACT THAT WE CAN LOOK
TO THE BICYCLE AND KNOW THE
00:52:41.52\00:52:44.76
OUTCOME. TO KNOW
THE OUTCOME WHEN WE
00:52:44.76\00:52:48.70
ARE ON GOD'S SIDE. WHEN
YOU INVITES JESUS IN YOUR
00:52:48.70\00:52:52.13
LIFE, YOU CAN'T LOSE.
THE DEVIL CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY.
00:52:52.13\00:52:57.77
OUR SOULS BELONG TO GOD,
THEY DON'T BELONG TO THE ENEMY.
00:52:57.77\00:53:02.41
THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN
COSTS OUR ETERNITY IS OURSELF.
00:53:02.41\00:53:06.21
>> CORRECT. >>
REALLY, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
00:53:06.21\00:53:08.48
IT'S EASIER TO BE
SAVED THAN TO BE LOST.
00:53:08.48\00:53:13.46
>> CAN YOU PUT IT THAT
WAY. IN CHRIST, IF HE'S GOT YOU,
00:53:13.46\00:53:18.29
YOU HAVE THE
GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE.
00:53:18.29\00:53:22.03
BELIEVE IT NOW LIVE IT.
YOU HAVE THE ARMOR OF GOD AND
00:53:22.03\00:53:26.53
WE CAN GO THROUGH
SPIRITUAL PRACTICES.
00:53:26.53\00:53:29.50
PUT ON THE ARMOR OF
GOD. YOU PRAY, YOU YIELD.
00:53:29.50\00:53:33.51
AS YOU GROW IN THE GRACE OF
GOD YOU WILL BE MORE SENSITIVE
00:53:33.51\00:53:36.64
TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD.
HUH-UH, DON'T GO DOWN THAT
00:53:36.64\00:53:42.85
ROAD. DON'T
CHEAT ON YOUR TAX FORM.
00:53:42.85\00:53:45.95
THIS IS GOD SPEAKS TO US.
WE GROW AND WE GROW AND WE
00:53:45.95\00:53:50.16
GROW. HE IS GROWTH.
00:53:50.16\00:53:53.19
KEEP GROWING. THIS
BUSINESS OF I GOT TO BE
00:53:53.19\00:53:55.90
HERE BEFORE I CAN HAVE ANY
CERTAINTIES EVER SALVATION.
00:53:55.90\00:54:00.80
WE THINK THAT. YOU
GRAB HOLD OF JESUS AND
00:54:00.80\00:54:04.57
LETS HIM GROW YOU. I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT HOP ON
00:54:04.57\00:54:08.01
THE ELEVATOR AND
HE WILL TAKE YOU UP.
00:54:08.01\00:54:11.98
THERE ARE TIMES
YOU WILL TURN AND RUN.
00:54:11.98\00:54:19.85
JESUS IS WORKING IN YOUR
LIFE. THAT WE ALL LEARN TO BE
00:54:19.85\00:54:29.06
CONFIDENT BECAUSE WE HAVE
YIELDED OUR LIFE TO JESUS.
00:54:29.06\00:54:32.23
KEEP OUR EYES ON CHRIST AND
ALLOW HIM TO GROW US AND MOLD
00:54:32.23\00:54:36.81
US. THAT LITTLE REDWOOD ONE DAY,
00:54:36.81\00:54:39.67
10 FEET TALL
1-RBGS HUNDRED FEET TALL.
00:54:39.67\00:54:43.24
IF JESUS DOESN'T COME BACK
HE WILL BE WITH HIS HEAD IN THE
00:54:43.24\00:54:47.42
CLOUDS BECAUSE HE GREW.
IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, IT
00:54:47.42\00:54:52.65
SAYS THAT GOD'S FEET WILL
GROW TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE
00:54:52.65\00:54:56.83
WORLD WILL BE LIT UP WITH A
MANIFESTATION OF THE CHARACTER
00:54:56.83\00:55:00.96
OF GOD IN THE PEOPLE OF
HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO KNOW?
00:55:00.96\00:55:05.30
READ REVELATION 18.
THE WORLD WILL LIGHTEN WITH
00:55:05.30\00:55:08.94
HIS GLORY. LISTEN.
00:55:08.94\00:55:10.74
THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
THAT'S WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO
00:55:10.74\00:55:14.48
IN ME. THAT IS
WHAT GOD IS GOING TO
00:55:14.48\00:55:17.38
DO. GOD SEES US,
HE SEES US TO THE
00:55:17.38\00:55:22.08
EXTENT THAT THE WORLD SEES
A MANIFESTATION OF HIS POWER.
00:55:22.08\00:55:26.19
THAT IS WHAT GOD IS
IN THE PROCESS OF DOING.
00:55:26.19\00:55:29.92
THIS IS A GOOD DAY TO BE ALIVE.
00:55:29.92\00:55:32.96
>> I WANT TO SHOUT! >> GO AHEAD.
00:55:32.96\00:55:36.50
>> I LIKE IT. >> WHAT
I LEARNED FROM THIS IN
00:55:36.50\00:55:43.30
A CRAZY MIXED-UP WORLD WHERE
IT SEEMS COMMON SENSE IS OUT
00:55:43.30\00:55:48.91
THE WINDOW IN THE SPIRITUAL
SENSE, IT'S STICKING TO THE
00:55:48.91\00:55:53.11
WORD OF GOD THAT WILL BALANCE.
THAT THE DEVIL WANTS YOU, HE
00:55:53.11\00:55:58.25
DOESN'T CARE, BUT WHAT YOU ARE
PRESENTING TO US, LOOK, THERE
00:55:58.25\00:56:01.22
IS NO NEED TO BE
DECEIVED ABOUT ALL OF THIS.
00:56:01.22\00:56:03.99
ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US WHO
CALL OURSELVES CHRISTIANS THAT
00:56:03.99\00:56:07.36
WE ALLOW OURSELF TO
THINK WE CAN EARN OUR WAY, OUR
00:56:07.36\00:56:11.70
SALVATION BY WHAT WE
EAT OR ALL OF THESE THINGS.
00:56:11.70\00:56:15.20
OR ON THE OTHER HAND, SAYING
I DON'T HAVE TO GET ANY BETTER
00:56:15.20\00:56:18.71
SINCE I CAN'T BE PERFECT ANYWAY.
00:56:18.71\00:56:23.45
WHAT YOU ARE TELLING US, I
CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST
00:56:23.45\00:56:27.35
WHO STRENGTHENS ME AND
CONFORMITY TO GOD AND TO HIS
00:56:27.35\00:56:32.95
LIKENESS AND TO HIS CHARACTER.
WE START HERE, THE PROCESS
00:56:32.95\00:56:38.99
OF -- WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT,
THE PROCESS OF GROWING IN THE
00:56:38.99\00:56:41.93
THE LORD. WE ARE GROWING IN
00:56:41.93\00:56:46.87
SANCTIFICATION.
LOUPE THE LORD TAKES -- NOW
00:56:46.87\00:56:49.97
THE LORD TAKES OVER.
IT'S NOT MY GOODNESS.
00:56:49.97\00:56:54.01
IT'S BY HIS GRACE. WHEN
HE CALLS, WE WILL ANSWER.
00:56:54.01\00:56:59.45
>> AMEN. [¤¤]
