00:16 >> THIS IS SO FREEING. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO
00:19 ARE SO -- I WANT TO BE LOVED, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO. 00:25 IT IS CAUSING TO LOOK AT YOURSELF VERSUS LOOKING AT 00:30 CHRIST. >> ONE SAID THE HARDEST BATTLE 00:36 WE HAVE TO FIGHT IS THE ONE AGAINST THE SELF. 00:39 THE BATTLE OF SELF IS EXPLAINED LIKE THIS. 00:43 I WAS GOING TO TAKE SOME KETCHUP, MY SON GRABBED THE 00:48 KETCHUP. I WANTED THE KETCHUP. 00:50 I WAS GOING TO SAY SON, I WANT THE KETCHUP. 00:54 I REALIZED THAT WAS SELF. I LET MY SON HAVE THE KETCHUP. 00:58 THAT WAS A TEACHING MOMENT. THAT'S JUST LIFE. 01:07 I WILL SAY, THAT IS A BATTLE WITH SELF THAT YOU'VE GOT. 01:11 I'M NOT MINIMIZING WHAT MAYBE A BATTLE IN SOMEONE'S MIND. 01:20 YOU WANT TO SAY THAT'S SELF. SURE ENOUGH, THAT CAN BE A 01:24 BATTLE WITH SELF, NO QUESTION. SOME SAY THE BATTLE OF SELF 01:28 IS, I DON'T KNOW, INDULGING YOURSELF. 01:33 SURE, BUT LET'S GO BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT 01:35 JUST A MINUTE AGO. AM I SAVED? 01:38 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? IN WE CONFESS OUR SINS. 01:44 DID YOU DO THIS? YES. 01:46 ALL RIGHT. WHY ARE YOU ASKING THE 01:49 QUESTION? WELL, HOLD ON, YOU? 01:52 WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOU WHEN YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT 01:57 THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY AND SEEING JESUS. 02:02 WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE. OKAY. 02:11 BUT IF YOU DO, WE HAVE AN ADVOCACY WITH THE FATHER. 02:14 JESUS CHRIST. THE RIGHTEOUS. 02:18 SO WHY IN THE WORLD WILL YOU BE LOOK THING AT YOURSELF WHEN 02:22 YOU CAN BE LOOKING AT JESUS? THAT IS THE BATTLE WITH SELF. 02:31 OKAY, THE CHOCOLATE CAKE IS ONE THING. 02:34 BUT IF I'M IN AN INSIDIOUS BATTLE WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING 02:38 IN YOUR HEART SAYING, OH, POOR ME. 02:42 WOE IS ME. GOD CAN'T FORGIVE ME. 02:45 HOLD ON, GET A GRIP. WHAT PART OF THE BIBLE HERE 02:48 ARE YOU FAILING TO UNDERSTAND REGARDS TO FORGIVING. 02:52 I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART. I WILL BE YOUR ADVOCATE. 02:55 I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FOR SAKE YOUEN LOOK AWAY FROM 03:00 YOURSELF AND LOOK TO JESUS. THIS THING ABOUT I'M TOO BAD, 03:04 I'M A SINNER. THAT IS SIMPLY SELF 03:11 CENTEREDNESS. THAT'S ALL IT IS. 03:13 >> THE DEVIL WATCHES CHRISTIANS VERY CLOSELY. 03:17 WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, PROBABLY YO, TOO, THERE WAS 03:21 SO MUCH LEGALISM AND ALL THE DOs PAWN DON'Ts. 03:28 MAYBE THE GENERATION BEFORE THEM. 03:29 I DON'T KNOW. MY PARENTS BECAME ADVENTIST 03:35 THE DAY I WAS BORN. THERE WAS ALL OF THAT DON'T DO 03:39 THIS AND DON'T DO THAT. MAYBE FOR REASONS THAT WERE 03:43 NOT UNDERSTANDS. THEN THERE WAS A HIPPIE 03:46 MOVEMENT, WHICH JOHN WAS NOT A PART OF. 03:55 I THINK YOU COULD IDENTIFY THROUGH THE HIPPIE MOVEMENT, 04:01 IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT. HOW WILL THOSE KIDS TURN OUT 04:06 TO BE. WE SEE THIS PROGRESSION OVER 04:11 TIME. NOW YOU GO TO CHURCH AND THEY 04:16 SAY I HAVE TO BE PERFECT. WE ARE SAYING THE OPPOSITE. 04:23 NOW JUST TODAY I TALKED TO A FATHER AND SON. 04:30 HE IS 47, 48. FRIENDS OF MINE. 04:33 HIS SON IS ABOUT 20, 21. THE SUBJECT CAME UP ABOUT YOUR 04:42 LIFESTYLE AND HOW ACCEPTING THAT IT IS. 04:44 THE GUY SAID MY FOLKS MY DAD'S AGE, HE IS NOT TOLERATE OF 04:50 THOSE THINGS. ONE OF THE POLITICIANS RUNNING 04:53 FOR PRESIDENT NOW IS A HOMOSEXUAL. 05:01 THE SUBJECT CAME UP. HE SAID MY DAD IS NOT TOLERATE 05:05 OF THAT AT ALL. THIS GENERATION. 05:07 BUT MY GENERATION, HE SAYS, IF YOU WANT TO, I DON'T 05:15 NECESSARILY AGREE WITH IT, BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT. 05:20 BUT IN THIS GENERATION, THEY CELEBRATE IT. 05:24 SO YOU ARE ALMOST CELEBRATED IF YOU SAY I'M OPENLY GAY OR 05:30 MARRIED TO -- HE SAYS, THEY ARE NOT WHAT YOU CALL 05:38 CHURCHGOERS. BUT HE SAYS I CAN SEE THE 05:42 DIFFERENCE. I SAID THAT'S NOT ACCIDENT. 05:44 THE DEVIL HAS A PLAN. HE MAY MAKE THAT LOOK NORMAL. 05:49 IF YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU'RE NOT NORMAL. 05:55 YOU'RE OUT OF TOUCH IF YOU SAY I'M NOT READY FOR A PRESIDENT 05:59 MARRIED TO ANOTHER GUY? IF YOU QUESTION THAT, IT'S 06:02 LIKE YOU'RE THE BAD GUY AND YOU ARE NOT NORMAL. 06:07 >> YEAH. >> THE DEVIL FLIPS IT IT. 06:14 I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO ALL OF THAT. 06:16 BUT YOU SEE SO MUCH OF THAT, IT'S OKAY, IT'S BETTER THAN 06:23 WHATEVER. >> LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION. 06:27 MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. SOMEONE PUT A QUESTION IN THE 06:31 QUESTION BOX. DOES A PERSON HAVE TO BE 06:35 PERFECT IN ORDER TO BE BAPTIZED? 06:40 >> I'LL ASK THE CONGREGATION. THEY SAID, NO. 06:45 I SAID, YOU'RE WRONG. THE ANSWER IS YES. 06:52 A PERSON HAS TO BE PERFECT IN ORDER TO BE BAPTIZED. 06:57 >> WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "PERFECT"? 07:00 >> GOOD QUESTION. SO I GAVE HIM THE SCENARIO. 07:06 AS A MATTER OF FACT, A PERSON -- ANY PERSON WHO IS 07:12 BAPTIZED REALLY WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME NOT BEING PERFECT. 07:16 I'LL EXPLAIN. SO A PERSON COMES TO JESUS AS 07:20 A SINNER. WHAT THAT PERSON NEEDS TO 07:24 RIGHTEOUSNESS. WHERE DO YOU GET THAT 07:27 RIGHTEOUSNESS? FROM JESUS. 07:28 WE GET IT BY FAITH. RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 07:35 WHAT KIND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THAT? 07:37 IS IT HALF-BAKED RIGHTEOUSNESS? 07:40 KINDSA SORTA RIGHTEOUSNESS? DECENT RIGHTEOUSNESS? 07:45 IS IT OKAY RIGHTEOUSNESS? NO, IT IS PERFECT 07:50 RIGHTEOUSNESS. IT IS. 07:53 WHEN YOU ARE CREDITED AS HAVING THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF 07:57 CHRIST, THEN IT'S AS PERFECT AS PERFECT -- BEFORE WE'RE 08:02 DONE WE'LL LOOK AT ROMANS 3 WHICH SPEAKS ABOUT THE 08:05 RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. NO DIFFERENT THAN WHEN HE PUT 08:08 IT IN THOSE TERMS, THAT'S HEAVY DUTY RIGHTEOUSNESS WE'RE 08:13 TALKING ABOUT THERE. SO ILLINOIS, THE SINNER LEARNS 08:20 THAT JESUS LOVES HER, LOVES HIM, CHOOSES THE NEW LIFE, 08:26 PRAISE THE PRAYER. LORD BE MERCIFUL, CREATED ME, 08:32 RENEW MY SPIRIT. GIVE ME JESUS. 08:35 FORGIVE ME, LORD. THAT PERSON IS GIVEN JESUS. 08:40 BY THE WAY, THIS RIECHESNESS WE RECEIVE IS NOT LIKE GETTING 08:45 A LETTER IN THE MAIL. IT'S LIKE GETTING THE LETTER 08:49 AND THE -- YOU DON'T GET IT TOSSED TO YOU LIKE A FRISBEE. 08:55 HE SAYS IF YOU WANT IT, COME GET IT. 08:59 IT'S NOT TWO SEPARATE THINGS HERE. 09:02 JESUS COMES WITH PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS. 09:05 NOW YOU GET BAPTIZED. IS THE PERSON PERFECT? 09:10 THE PERSON HAS THE PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS. 09:15 IF YOU ARE BAPTIZED WITHOUT THE PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS OF 09:19 CHRIST, YOU ARE NOT THE REPENTSANTS. 09:23 PASTOR, HOLD ON, WHAT ABOUT THE PERSON AND THEY CHEAT ON 09:27 THEIR TAXES AND THEY HAVE A GIRLFRIEND -- 09:30 >> HOLD ON, HOLD ON. WHAT IS IT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR 09:33 IN SOMEONE BEING BAPTIZED. ARE YOU WANTING HIM TO BE A 09:38 200-FOOT TALL REDWOOD TREE? ARE YOU OKAY WITH A BABY 09:44 REDWOOD? OF COURSE I'M NOT SAYING THAT. 09:53 WE DON'T BAPTIZE PEOPLE AND SAY DIVE IN. 10:00 HAVE FAITH IN JESUS RECOGNIZING THAT THE PERSON IS 10:05 GROWING. >> SO YOU'RE PERFECT IN 10:30 CHRIST. YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS TO HIM. 10:32 >> YES, YOU ARE. >> IT'S HIS PERFECTION. 10:37 THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THAT, THIS ARE SURELY PEOPLE WHO 10:42 HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN THE HEARTS OF THE LORD AND THEY 10:45 FALL BACK WHETHER IT'S SMOKING OR HABITS AND THINGS. 10:50 STILL THAT DOESN'T NEED THEY NEED TO QUIT AND GO BACK. 10:54 YOU CAN COME BACK TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS ONCE AGAIN. 10:59 IT'S GREAT TO KNOW THAT SIN CAN DISAPPEAR AGAIN. 11:03 THAT'S RIGHT. >> IT'S DONE AWAY WITH. 11:06 I THINK WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING THEY WANT SOMEONE TO IT 11:12 LOOK LIKE THEMSELVES WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED. 11:15 THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE CHURCH 40 YEARS. 11:18 HERE IS THIS GUY, WE KNOW HE IS STRUGGLING WITH THIS THING. 11:22 THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN REBELLION. 11:25 I WANT TO BE BAPTIZED, BUT I SMOKE AND DO ALL OF THIS. 11:31 I WOULD SAY YOU'RE NOT READY TO BE BAPTIZED. 11:34 WHY ARE YOU BEING BAPTIZED? WHAT DOES THAT REPRESENT? 11:39 YOU'RE SAYING EVERYONE OF US ARE A TINY SABBATHELING. 11:44 WE'VE HAD 30 YEARS TO GROW, 40 YEARS TO GROW. 11:49 LET THE SAPLING HAVE TIME TO GROW, LET'S NOT JUDGE HIM AND 11:53 RUN HIM OUT OF CHURCH. THAT'S WHAT WE DO. 11:56 >> IT HAPPENS. OH, MY GOODNESS IT HAPPENS. 12:00 >> WE MAY HAVE TIME IN A LITTLE BIT TO ANSWER A FEW 12:03 QUESTIONS, IF YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THIS, GO AHEAD. 12:08 WRITE OR E-MAIL. E-MAIL AT live@3abn.org. 12:12 OR YOU CAN CALL 618-627-4651. >> PAUL WROTE TO THE 12:20 PHILLIPIANS. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE 12:23 PEOPLE AT CONSTANTINE. HE SAID HE COULDN'T BE 12:27 CONFIDENT IN THE FLESH BECAUSE HE WAS CIRCUMCISED ON THE 12:32 RIGHT DAY, HE WAS PROBABLY NAMED AFTER SING SAUL -- . 12:44 TOUCHING IT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS BLAMELESS. 12:58 I COUNT ALL THINGS TO THE EXCELLENCELY OF THE KNOWLEDGE 12:59 OF CHRIST WHO SUFFERED ALL THINGS. 13:04 AND HE FOUND IN HIM NOT HAVING HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH 13:09 IS THE LAW. BUT THAT IS THROUGH THE FAITH 13:12 OF CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS BY GOD BY FAITH. 13:23 THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. MY FRIEND, ROBERT McSWEENEY. 13:29 HE LIVED ON A DAIRY FARM. SURROUNDED BY DAIRY FARMS. 13:35 WE STAYED AT ROBERT'S PLACE. 11 YEARS OLD, TEN YEARS OLD, I 13:40 DON'T KNOW. HE SAID GO AND GRAB HOLD OF 13:43 THAT ELECTRIC FENCE. I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD AN 13:47 ELECTRIC FENCE! HE SAID, GO AHEAD. 13:50 NOPE. >> I'LL DO IT. 13:53 HE GRABBED THE ELECTRIC FENCE. OH, OKAY, I'LL DO IT. 14:01 HE KNEW WHICH WIRE WAS LIVE AND WHICH WAS NOT. 14:05 HE POINTED ME TO THE ONE THAT WAS GOOD AND HOT. 14:09 GRAB HOLD OF THAT ELECTRIC FENCE. 14:12 BOOM! PROBABLY WANE THE WORST SHOCK 14:15 BUT I KICKED BACK. AND THAT WAS THAT. 14:20 WHEN YOU GRAB HOLD OF AN ELECTRIC WIRE, IT IS GOING TO 14:23 CHANGE YOU. IT WILL ALTER YOU. 14:29 WHEN YOU GRAB HOLD OF JESUS AND YOU HAVE THAT POWER 14:34 RUNNING THROUGH YOU, IT'S GOING TO ALTER YOU. 14:37 IN FACT, IT'S GOING TO CHANGE YOU. 14:39 SO MY YOUNG FRIENDS AT THE CONVENTION WHO IS ALL WORRIED 14:44 ABOUT BEING PERFECT ENOUGH. I SAID YOU JUST GRAB HOLD OF 14:48 JESUS. HE WILL CHANGE YOU. 14:50 HE WILL GROW YOU AND YOU JUST KEEP ON GROWING AND KEEP ON 14:54 LETTING HIM CHANGE YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT 14:57 ARTIFICIAL CON INSTRUCT THAT SOME PHARISEE PLACES ON YOU. 15:03 YOU HAVE TO GET TO HERE. YOU HAVE TO BE A CHILD OF GOD. 15:08 CAN YOU GUARANTEES THE PERSON WHO TOLD THAW IS 15:11 DYSFUNCTIONAL. YOU JUST GRAB HOLD OF JESUS. 15:13 HOW MUCH CHANGE SHOULD THERE BE? 15:17 YOU'LL KNOW. YOU WILL SAY CREATE IN HEE A 15:21 CLEAN HEART. YOU WILL SAY SEARCH ME OH, 15:27 GOD. LEAD MEDIUM IN THE WAY. 15:33 YOU WILL SEE THE DEVILS FINGERPRINTS ON YOUR LIFE. 15:37 YOU WILL WANTS THEM ALL GONE. HOW MUCH GROWING DO I NEED TO 15:41 DO? THE BIBLE TELLS YOU. 15:44 COME TO THE MEASURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST. 15:46 HOW DO I GET THERE? GRAB HOLD OF JESUS. 15:56 YOU WILL WAGE HARD BATTLES WITH SELF. 15:59 OF COURSE, YOU WILL. YOU WERE RAISED IN A VIOLENT 16:02 HOME, NOW YOU HAVE THIS TENDENCY TO BE VIOLATE. 16:10 SOMEONE, SOME ENEMY IN YOUR LIFE RUBS YOUR FUR THE WRONG 16:15 WAY AND THAT RISES UP, YOU MAY NEED TO WALK OUT OF THE ROOM. 16:20 YOU MAY NEED TO GO OUTSIDE AND PRAY. 16:22 YOU MAY NEED TO GRIT YOUR TEETH, PLEAD WITH GOD. 16:26 YOU CANNOT THE DO IT WITH YOUR OWN STRENGTH. 16:29 WILL IT BE A BATTLE? SURE. 16:32 IF SOMEONE CALLS YOU FROM THE PUB. 16:34 COME ON DOWN. YOU'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR 16:36 THREE MONTHS. THE GAME IS ON! 16:40 LARRY IS IN FROM OUT OF TOWN. YOU WAGE A STERN BATTLE WITH 16:48 SELF RIGHT NOW. LORD HELP ME. 16:50 EVERYTHING INSIDE ME WANTS TO GO TO THE BAR. 16:53 YOU KNOW THAT BEER WOULD TASTE GOOD. 16:56 YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO LAUGH. THESE CHRISTIANS DON'T LAUGH 17:01 THE WAY YOUR FRIENDS IN THE WORLD DO. 17:07 THAT'S WHEN YOU APPEAL TO JESUS. 17:11 FLOOD MY LIFE, HOLY SPIRIT FILL ME UP. 17:15 HOLY SPIRIT FILL ME UP. AND YOU GROW THROUGH THAT. 17:19 YOU GROW THROUGH THAT. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF NAMING 17:27 JESUS, THIS WILL TAKE ITS COURSE. 17:40 YOU FALL, FALL IN THE DIRECTION OF JESUS. 17:44 FALL IN THE DIRECTION OF JESUS. 17:48 PETER SANK IS. JESUS LIFTED HIM OUT OF THE 17:53 WATER. >> HOW ARE YOU DOING, ARE YOU 18:04 GETTING? >> I'M LOVING IT. 18:05 I'M THINKING ABOUT MY OWN LIFE. 18:07 I'M THINKING ABOUT OTHERS AROUND ME. 18:11 THIS IS SO RICH. SO GOOD. 18:16 I THINK THAT PEOPLE CAN JUST GET SIDE-TRACKED AND THINK IF 18:22 I DO THIS, I'LL BE WRONG. YOU DO THIS. 18:29 THEN YOU DO THIS, YOU'RE SAVED. 18:34 IT'S SO FREEING TO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT A RESOLVING DOOR, BUT 18:39 YOUR SALVATION IS ASSURED. YOU WILL FALL SOMETIMES BUT WE 18:46 FALL DOWN AND WE GET UP. WE GET UP BECAUSE GOD PICKS US 18:50 UP. AS LONG AS WE ABIDE IN HIM, WE 18:54 CAN MAKE IT. ONE OF THE THINGS, TOO, IS 18:58 MAKING TIME FOR GOD. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 19:02 THAT'S THE WAY THAT YOU BECOME CHANGED. 19:07 IF YOU JUST COME TO GOD IN TIME, THEN WHEN ARE YOU GOING 19:14 TO REGENERATE, REJUVENATE. IT'S WHEN YOU REST. 19:17 WHEN YOU REST IN CHRIST AND YOU PURSUE HIM, THAT IS WHEN 19:22 HE CHANGES YOU. >> THIS IS WHERE IT IS 19:27 NUANCED. THERE IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO 19:29 ADD. YOU HAVE TO PRAY. 19:30 YOU HAVE TO READ THE BIBLE. YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR FOOD, YOUR 19:36 REST. WE MUST, WE MUST, WE MUST. 19:39 WE COULD TALK ALL NIGHT ABOUT THAT. 19:40 LET ME SHARE ANOTHER -- PUT ANOTHER WRINKLE IN HERE. 19:45 THE ATHLETE IS WANTING TO WIN. YOU TRAIN, YOUR REST RIGHT AND 19:51 EAT RIGHT, YOU TRAIN. YOU DO THE WHOLE THING. 19:56 GET ON A HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM. 20:00 THEN YOU GET THE SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP OR STATE 20:03 CHAMPIONSHIP, OLYMPIC GAMES, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, WHATEVER 20:05 IT IS. YOU STANDS ON THAT STARTING 20:07 LINE. YOU'RE HOPING TO WIN. 20:12 THEN THEY PLAY THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. 20:15 THAT'S THE END OF THAT IS THE END OF THE EXPERIENCE. 20:23 CHRISTIANITY, YOU START ON THE VICTORY LINE. 20:29 YOU START THERE. WHEN YOU ACCEPT JESUS, DO YOU 20:35 HAVE SALVATION, YES OR NO? YES. 20:38 >> YOU'VE WON. YOU HAVE THE GOLD MEDAL ON 20:41 YOUR NECK LISTEN TO COME THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN HEAVEN. 20:44 GOD SAYS THIS IS MY BELOVED. IN CHRISTIANITY, YOU START AT 20:50 VICTORY. IT'S YOURS TO LOSE. 20:54 IT'S YOURS TO LOSE. SALVATION IS YOURS TO LOSE. 20:58 IT CAN ONLY BE THAT WAY. WHEN YOU COME TO FAITH IN 21:01 JESUS CHRIST, YOU RECEIVE THE GIFT OF SALVATION. 21:05 NOW WE ARE HOPING FOR OR WORKING FOR, WE HAVE THE REST. 21:11 NOW WE PRESS ON AND WE GROPE IN THE JESUS AND LEAVE THE 21:17 WORLD FURTHER AND FURTHER BEHIND. 21:19 THIS IS THE INEVITABILITY. YOU LOVE GOD. 21:21 YOU BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE CHRIST. 21:23 YOU START AT THE PLACE OF VICTORY. 21:25 I WILL GUARANTEE YOU THERE ARE PRECIOUS FEW CHRISTIANS IN ANY 21:33 CONGREGATION, WHO BELIEVE SHE START AT A PLACE OF VICTORY. 21:37 HOW MANY PEOPLE, CAN YOU RAISE YOUR HANDS. 21:43 ONE OF THEM A FORMER PENTECOSTAL. 21:49 THEY KNOW THIS. THE OTHER IS SOME DEAR OLD 21:54 LADY, SHE NDS BECAUSE SHE KNOWS. 22:02 HE DIDN'T WANT TO OUT HIMSELF. THERE IS A FALSE HUMILIATE HUMILIATETY 22:17 IN THE CHURCH. SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY, 22:30 I AM CONVERTED. WE EQUATE PERFORMANCE WITH 22:33 SALVATION. BECAUSE WE DON'T LOOK LIKE 22:36 ENOCH, WE THINK WE ARE NOT WHERE WE OUGHT TO BE. 22:42 IF YOU HAVE TRAJECTORY YOU ARE SITTING WITH JESUS. 22:46 >> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK AND THEN HAVE A SONG. 22:49 WE MAY HAVE A LITTLE TIME AT THE ENDS. 22:51 WE ARE TRYING -- THIS IS REALLY GOOD THE WAY IT'S 22:56 GOING. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR TWO, 22:59 FEEL FREE TO DO SO.

[♪♪] 27:05 >> AMEN, THANK YOU PASTOR JOHN. 27:07 THE INCREDIBLE GIFT HE HAS. I WILL GO. 27:15 PASTOR BRADSHAW, WE WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD. 27:18 THIS IS REALLY ENLIGHTENING, IT REALLY IS. 27:21 SO MANY TIMES WE ARE ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. 27:24 YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE US BACK TO THE LORD AND REALIZE WE CAN 27:29 DO NOTHING OURSELF BUT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ALL THINGS THROUGH 27:34 CHRIST. WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW CHURCH 27:39 MEMBERS SHOULD TREAT PEOPLE COMING IN THAT ARE NEW. 27:44 AND OTHERS THAT COME FROM OTHER CHURCHES. 27:46 WE WANT TO OPEN OUR HANDS. I'M AFRAID OF RUNNING PEOPLE 27:54 OUT OF THE CHURCH RATHER THAN HELPING THEM TO COME IN AND BE 27:58 PART OF THE FAMILY. >> THE DECISION IS THAT 28:00 CHRISTIANS GENERAL SPEAKING ARE TOO JUDGMENTSAL AND TOO 28:03 CRITICAL. THIS IS WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS. 28:13 THE PROBLEM IS WHEN WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE JUST LIKE ME, 28:20 THAT'S NOT PUTTING IT VERY HIGH. 28:21 IT IS TRUE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE CHURCH ARE OFTEN 28:27 DISCOURAGED RATHER THAN ENCOURAGED BECAUSE THEY ARE 28:29 LED TO BELIEVE THERE IS FAULT IN THEIR EXPERIENCE. 28:32 THE CHURCH WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO BE A COUNTRY CLUB WHERE WE 28:37 HAVE OUR BEST CHRISTIANS ON DISPLAY. 28:40 YOUR CHURCH DOESN'T HAVE SOME SINNERS AND THIS AND THAT AND 28:44 THE OTHER, THEN YOUR CHURCH IS DOING A POOR JOB. 28:47 THAT'S JUST THE TRUTH. IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY 28:50 WITH A SMOKING PROBLEM, SOMEBODY STILL DRINKS, 28:53 SOMEBODY CURSES WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T. 28:56 SOMEBODY WITH A DRUG PROBLEM. JUST USING THOSE AS EXAMPLES. 29:04 IF YOU DON'T HAVE ADULTERERS OR -- 29:09 >> IF IT'S NOT GROWING. >> SO WE OUGHT TO HAVE NEEM 29:15 OUR CHURCH, I DON'T MEAN THE GLORY, BUT, OF COURSE WE'LL 29:20 HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR CONGREGATIONS, AT LEAST WE 29:23 SHOULD. EVEN THEN, IF YOU WINNOW OUT 29:27 THE REGULAR SINNERS, THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SIN IN THE 29:32 CONGREGATION TO SINK A BATTLE SHIP. 29:34 WE JUST HIDE IT WELL. WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO CHURCH, 29:38 WHAT IN THE WORLD SHOULD I SAY. 29:43 >> YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM. >> YOU HAVE TO. 29:48 I'LL TELL YOU A STORY. I WAS IN CHURCH AND MY SON AND 29:57 HIS GIRLFRIEND AND MY DAUGHTER. 30:02 MY SON WAS ASKED TO DO THE OFFERING. 30:06 HE DID. THE SERVICE WAS LIVE ONLINE. 30:11 I HAD IT THERE AND I LOOKED AWAY. 30:13 I WANTED TO WATCH MY SON. MY 19-YEAR-OLD BOY DID THE 30:17 OFFERING. >> GOOD. 30:18 >> THEY GO TO CHURCH. THIS IS JUST A TRADITIONAL 30:22 CHURCH. IT'S NOT A YOUNG PERSON'S 30:25 CHURCH. IT'S JUST A CHURCH. 30:27 HE GOES TO CHURCH. THEY ARE IN THE CAR, ABOUT TO 30:32 LEAVE. KNOCK KNOCK. 30:33 A KNOCK ON THE WINDOW OF THE CAR. 30:37 A LADY SAYS, EXCUSE ME. AND MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT, 30:42 THAT'S NICE. THIS LADY IS COMING TO SAY 30:46 WELL DONE ON THE OFFERING. GOOD TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE IN 30:49 THE CHURCH. SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT. 30:53 SHE SAID, I THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW YOU CHILDREN WERE 30:57 DISTRACTING. AND YOU'RE A DISTRACTION TO 30:59 SOME OF US. WE WEREN'T ABLE TO FOCUS OWE 31:01 THE SERMON BECAUSE YOU WERE TALKING TOO MUCH AMONG 31:06 YOURSELVES. WELL YOU KNOW THEY WEREN'T 31:08 HAVING A PARTY. I DON'T DEFEND THEM. 31:10 I GUARANTEE YOU THEY WERE TALKING AMONG THEMSELVES. 31:13 I HAD A LADY TRY THAT ON ME IN THE SAME CHURCH. 31:17 YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID, YOU NEED TO LEARN TO FOCUS MORE. 31:22 SHE SAID I WAS BEING DISTRACTING. 31:24 LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON. IT'S NOT A MUSEUM, AT WORSHIP 31:28 SERVICE. YOU MAY WANTS TO POINT OUT 31:30 SOMETHING IN THE BIBLE. DID YOU HEAR THAT, WHATEVER 31:33 THE CASE WAS. DID YOU SEE THAT LADY'S HAT. 31:35 OH, YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT THAT. THESE KIDS -- I ASKED HOW DO 31:42 YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? HE SAID, IT'S ALL RIGHT. 31:45 WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT THIS LADY MIGHT HAVE DONE IT TO A 31:50 KID WHO WOULD SAY "I'M NEVER COMING BACK." 31:53 I WAS DISCOURAGED BY THAT. THE LADY, SHE GOT A LITTLE 31:59 NASTY ABOUT IT. I DON'T MINDS IF SHE'S 32:04 WATCHING. I'LL BE IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY IF 32:06 YOU WANT TO CHASTISE ME. I THINK YOU SHOULD. 32:11 WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT TEENAGERS FOR. 32:15 THEY WEREN'T YELLING. THEY WEREN'T JOKING. 32:19 WHAT YOU EXPECT A BROTHER AND A SISTER AND A BOY AND HIS 32:22 GIRLFRIEND WOULD BE. WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT 32:25 THIS STUFF? WHY DON'T YOU INVITE THEM FOR 32:30 LUNCH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE 32:31 GOING TO EAT, MOTHER WASN'T THERE. 32:36 WHY DO THAT? I GIRL CAME TO CHURCH, SHE 32:42 LOOKED LIKE -- I DIDN'T SEE HER, ALL BLACK. 32:47 LOOKED LIKE A -- BLACK EVERYTHING, BLACK LIPSTICK. 32:53 >> GOTHIC. >> 19 YEARS OLD. 32:57 SHE IS PROBABLY DOING IT TO GET A RISE OUT OF HER PARENTS. 33:01 SHE BROUGHT HER FRIEND ALONG AND SHE WAS LIKE HALLOWEEN AS 33:04 WELL IS. A LADY SAID, YOU CAN'T COME IN 33:07 HERE. >> OH, NO. 33:09 >> YOU GIRLS NEED TO GO HOME AND CHANGE. 33:12 I WAS FIT TO BE TIED. THE CHURCH SERVICE WAS LIVE ON 33:18 TELEVISION. I DIDN'T CARE THAT THE WHOLE 33:20 COUNTY WAS WATCHING. I ADDRESS THE THE 33:23 CONGREGATION. I SAID THESE THINGS ARE NOT TO 33:26 BE. THE HEAD GREETER WOULD NOT 33:28 TELL ME WHO IT WAS. I SAID TO THE CONGREGATION, IF 33:35 I FIND OUT WHO IT IS, I'LL BE VISITING YOU. 33:39 SHOULD 19-YEAR-OLD KIDS DRESS LIKE SOMETHING FROM A HORROR 33:43 MOREOVER? WHY ARE YOU ASKING THAT 33:45 QUESTION? 19-YEAR-OLD KIDS DO WHAT THEY 33:47 DO. THE BEST PLACE FOR THEM TO DO 33:52 IS IN CHURCH. LET'S NOT STRETCH THIS TOO 33:54 FAR. WE DON'T INVITE KIDS TO DO 33:57 DRUGS IN CHURCH. BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING ON 33:59 PEOPLE, HAVE THE LOVE FOR THEM. 34:08 SIT DOWN AND SAY, GIRL WITH THE STRANGE BLACK MAKEUP, I 34:12 DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME. MY NAME IS MABEL, WHO ARE YOU? 34:16 ARE YOU EDDIE'S NIECE? I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE HE WAS A 34:21 BOY. WILL YOU BE HERE NEXT WEEKEN 34:25 THIS GIRL WILL BE DRESSED JUST FINE, GIVE HER A FEW DAYS OR 34:28 WEEKS OR MONTHS. SHE WILL GROW. 34:31 WE WANT PEOPLE TO GROW. >> AND PEOPLE, WE DO THAT. 34:36 WE WORK WITH MUSICIANS, SOME OF THEM AREN'T BY FAITH AND 34:40 SOME OF THEM WROTE SOME SONGS. WE WENT THROUGH A UNIVERSITY 34:48 GOT ADVENTIST BOOKS, BEGAN TO READ. 34:51 THIS GUY TOLD ME I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MESSAGE. 34:53 I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR YEARS. 34:56 BUT I WRITE A SONG ON THE SABBATH. 35:05 THEY FOUND OUT THE GUY WHO WROTE IT WAS A MEMBER OF THE 35:08 CHURCH. HE SAID WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS 35:10 AND YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH. 35:14 WE HAD THAT ON NUMEROUS TIMES, YOU HAVE TO LET PEOPLE ZERO. 35:20 ONE OF THESE EARLIER SAID WE COULD USE IT AT ANY TIME. 35:29 A GUY CALLED ME IN TENNESSEE, HAD A 3,000 SQUARE FOOT NEW 35:34 BRICK HOME. HE SAID I WANT TO DONATE THIS 35:37 TO 3ABN. I SAID THAT'S WONDERFUL. 35:39 HIS WIFE HAD BEEN WITH ME ON A TRIP. 35:43 WE STOPPED FOR FAST FOOD, McDONALD'S AND ORDERED A 35:48 FISH SANDWICH. I SAID I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU BUT 35:51 NO ONE WILL EVER EAT ANY MEAT OR EVEN FISH. 35:58 I KNEW I HAD EATEN FISH. I SAID, REALLY, JESUS ATE 36:05 FISH. YOU KNOW WHAT HE BASICALLY 36:08 TOLD ME, HE DIDN'T HAVE -- IT WAS BASICALLY THAT'S WHAT I 36:14 SAID IN SO MANY WAYS. I SAID YOU CAN KEEP YOUR 36:28 PROPERTY. WE DON'T NEED THAT TYPE OF 36:30 LEGALISM. WE HAVE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND 36:34 WONDERFUL CHURCHES AND I'M THANKFUL THAT WE DO. 36:36 WE ARE HITTING ON SOME OF THE EXTREMES. 36:39 BUT WE WANT TO IT THINK THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE LOOK LIKE, 36:44 THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT SENT THEM THERE. 36:48 IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND PRIVILEGE TO LOVER ON THESE 36:51 FOLKS. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, 36:54 MANY OF YOU DO THAT AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. 36:56 >> THIS IS NUANCED. I'M HOPING ANYONE W.H.O. HEARS 37:01 THIS WILL HEAR IT WITH THEIR COMMON SENSE ENGAGED. 37:05 ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND THE SPIRIT OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING 37:07 TO SAY HERE. YOU LOVE PEOPLE. 37:09 YOU LOVE THEM IN. AND THEY GROW. 37:12 JUST IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE GREW. 37:15 WE'RE NOT WHERE WE WERE 20 YEARS AGO. 37:20 AND LOVE, EDUCATE KINDLY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM 37:23 THE RIOT ACT, IF YOU THINK SHE WILL BENEFIT, BE AS PRAYERFUL 37:32 AS YOU CAN. YOU DON'T NEED TO START WORLD 37:35 WAR III. LET PEOPLE GROW. 37:39 LOVE THEM. >> ABSOLUTELY. 37:41 >> BE THEIR FRIENDS. >> I THINK WE TRY TO BE 37:45 SOMETIMES AND CONVICT PEOPLE. LET GOD DO WHAT HE DOES. 37:51 WE SHOULD LOVE PEOPLE. >> CAN WE DO A COUPLE OF 37:55 QUESTIONS? WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME. 37:57 >> THIS ONE SAYS, A VIEWER IS HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME 38:00 STOPPING SMOKING. WHAT CAN THEY DO? 38:03 >> THEY CAN STOP, JUST LIKE THAT. 38:06 THAT IS A SIMPLISTIC ANSWER. I WOULD PRAY. 38:14 BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN. BELIEVE THAT YOU CANNOT. 38:17 CLAIM THE PROMISES OF THE BIBLE THAT SPEAK TO THIS, IF 38:22 YOU NEED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY, GET AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER. 38:26 HAVE SOMEONE THAT WILL WALK ON THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU. 38:30 WHAT WE CAN'T DO IS BE A LITTLE TOO SIMPLISTIC. 38:40 YOU CAN GO FIVE MINUTES. CAN YOU GO TEN. 38:42 CAN YOU GO FIVE MORE. I ASKED A MAN DO YOU THINK YOU 38:47 CAN QUIT SMOKING. NOT SMOKING THE REST OF MY 38:52 LIFE. I SAID HOW ABOUT UNTIL 38:54 TOMORROW. WHEN HE BROKE IT DOWN, HE SAID 38:58 THIS IS POSSIBLE. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH 39:02 CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENED ME. YOU HAVE THE POWER. 39:05 I DON'T. IF YOU TALK TO SOMEONE WHO CAN 39:09 TELL YOU THESE THINGS AND MORE. 39:11 IF THERE IS A LOCAL PASTOR. THEY WILL HAVE A PLAN, THEY 39:15 WILL GET NEW A FIVE-DAY PLAN. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 39:19 CAN WE HAVE A PRAYER FOR AND THE FOLKS LISTENING TO THIS. 39:26 CAN WE HAVE A PRAYER? >> LET'S DO THAT. 39:29 OUR FATHER, I WANT TO CLAIM YOUR PROMISES FOR THIS 39:31 INDIVIDUAL. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH 39:34 CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME. HE SHALL GUN THE WORK IN YOU 39:40 IS FAITHFUL TO PERFORM. AND PEOPLE DEALING WITH 39:43 ALCOHOL AND DRUGS AND ALL MANNER OF ADDICTIONS. 39:48 FATHER, WE LOOK TO YOU TO HELP THEM ESPECIALLY THAT YOU DO IT 39:53 NOW. AND WE BELIEVE IT. 39:55 WE PRAY IN JESUS NAME. >> AMEN. 39:59 >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. >> WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION 40:06 WHAT IS THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 40:08 >> IT'S SUPER SIMPLE. WHEN YOU COME TO FAITH IN 40:12 JESUS CHRIST, GOD GIVES YOU THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 40:17 THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES TO YOUR LIFE AND WILL FILL YOU, 40:20 BRINGING THE PRESENCE OF JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE. 40:23 THIS IS THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 40:27 YOU AND JESUS -- I WASN'T INTENDING TO TALK ABOUT THE 40:33 HOLY SPIRIT TONIGHT. YOU REMEMBER THE STORY. 40:36 THE SPIRIT GOES OUT AND THE MAN IS EMPTY. 40:39 THEN THE SPIRITS COME IN MORE. ONE THING TO HAVE THE SIN GUN 40:46 OR THE SPIRIT GONE, BUT YOU NEED TO BE FILLED WITH THE 40:49 HOLY SPIRIT. YOU CAN PRAY AND YOU SHOULD 40:51 PRAY FOR A FRESH BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT EVERY SINGLE 40:55 DAY. IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 40:57 LIFE AND DEATH. HE IS AND WE SHOULD BE PRAYING 41:01 EVERY DAY GOD WILL FILL US WITH HIS PRESENCE AND WITH THE 41:05 POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. PRAY FOR THAT BAPTISM OF THE 41:10 HOLY SPIRIT. >> HE FILLS YOU WITH HIMSELF 41:14 AND OFFERS YOU IRRECK KEABLE. WE PRAY AND GOD FILLS US WITH 41:21 HIMSELF THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT. 41:27 >> MANY CHURCHES SAY WHEN SPEAKING IN TONGUE THAT'S THE 41:30 GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET INTO 41:33 ALL OF THAT. >> IT IS A GIFT OF THE SPIRIT. 41:37 THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE BAPTISTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 41:44 DON'T CONFUSE THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT. 41:47 GOD CHOOSES WHO GETS WHAT GIFT WITH THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY 41:51 SPIRIT. >> YOU'RE SAYING WHEN WE 41:53 INVITE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO OUR LIFE, AND WE GET THAT HOLY 41:58 SPIRIT, LORD, COME INTO MY LIFE, TAKE OVER, CONFESS YOUR 42:02 SIN. WE MENTIONED. 42:05 I WANT TO GO AND TELL WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME, I NEED YOU, 42:09 HOLY SPIRIT. THAT'S REALLY THE GIFT. 42:19 I'M AMAZED BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAID, HE SAID 42:28 YOU ARE LIKE A HORSE WITH BLINDERS ON BECAUSE YOU DON'T 42:31 HAVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 42:33 I SAID REALLY? WE TALKED ABOUT KEEPING 42:35 COMMANDS AND WHAT HAVE YOU. HE SAID UNLESS YOU SPEAK IN 42:40 TONGUE YOU'RE A HORSE WITH BLINDERS. 42:42 I SAID HOW AMAZING, WE HAVE OTHERS WITNESSING TO MILLIONS 42:51 OF PEOPLE AND THOUSANDS OF FOLKS CAME TO THE LORD AND DID 42:55 THAT WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. WOULDN'T THAT BE AMAZING? 43:02 WE HAVE MEETINGS AND SO FAR THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE 43:11 BAPTIZED. THE HOLY SPIRIT SURE SHOWS UP 43:13 WHEN THE WORD IS PREACHED. >> ABSOLUTELY. 43:19 WE HAVE 10 OR 12 MINUTES LEFT. WE'LL RECAP SOME OF WHAT, FOR 43:24 THOSE JOINING US IN THE SECOND HOUR. 43:27 YOU HIT IT PRETTY STRONG. YOU TALKED ABOUT PERFECTION 43:31 AND DO YOU NEED TO BE BAPTIZED, ARE YOU PERFECT. 43:34 I WANT YOU TO HIT AND MAKE IT CLEAR FOR US, THE DIFFERENCE 43:41 IN PEOPLE, THEY HAVE TO BE PERFECT AND YOU TALKED TO A 43:46 YOUNG MAN, THE ONES THE PASTOR SAID PEOPLE KEEP SINNING. 43:51 >> YEAH. >> I WANT TO BREAK THAT DOWN. 43:53 JUST LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE SMOKING AND ALL THESE OTHER 43:57 THINGS. WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH THAT 43:58 EVERY DAY. NOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 44:01 WANTING EVERYBODY TO LISTEN NOW. 44:03 WE HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THAT GAME TO THE LEFT, THIS GUY TO 44:07 THE RIGHT. PROBABLY VERY FEW OF US ARE 44:09 LOOKING AT OURSELF, CONSIDERING THAT WE ARE ON ONE 44:13 SIDE OR THE OTHER. I HAVE A FEELING THAT THOSE OF 44:18 US ARE AND DON'T KNOW IT. >> I KNOW IT'S TRUE. 44:24 WHEN WE BEGAN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE ATHLETES TAKING 44:28 PMPLEGGANCE ENHANCING -- PERFORMANCE ENHANCING THIRD. 44:32 IF YOU COME IN THIRD, YOU DO NOT GET YOUR FACE ON THE 44:36 WHEATIES BOX AND YOU DON'T GET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF 44:39 DOLLARS. YOU'RE JUST THIRD. 44:42 SHIRLEY CAME HOME FROM MONTREAL. 44:46 SHE GOT THIRD, A SURVEIL AND GOLD. 44:48 SHE WENT BACK TO HER JOB DELIVERING THE MAIL IN ORANGE 44:52 COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. SHE WON GOLD MEDALS SHE WOULD 44:55 HAVE BEEN ON T.V., SHE WOULD HAVE A CONTRACT WITH SPEEDO OR 45:01 NIKE. WE WOULD BE READ BEING HER 45:04 LIKE MARK MARK MARK SPITSZ. WHY DID THEY TAKE PERFORMANCE 45:11 ENHANCING DRUGS? BECAUSE THEIR BEST WASN'T GOOD 45:13 ENOUGH. OUR BEST IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. 45:15 WHERE IS THE PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUG FOR US? 45:19 WEATHER APP WE NEED IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. 45:23 HOW DO WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT? 45:25 WE ASK. IF YOU HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOUR 45:32 HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE. THE SPIRIT OF GOD BRINGS THE 45:38 PERSONAL PRESENTATION OF CHRIST. 45:39 HE BRINGS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. NOW I'M GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD. 45:44 YOU UNDERSTAND? BECAUSE I HAVE HIS GOODNESS. 45:49 THESE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO BE GOOD ARE TRYING TOBACCO GOD. 45:54 JESUS SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE GOOD AND THAT'S THE FATHER. 45:58 YOU TRY TO BE GOOD, YOU TRY TO BE GOD. 46:02 WE HAVE NO GOODNESS. OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, IT'S NOT A 46:11 THING WE NEED AS A PERSON. JESUS BRINGS HIS PRESENCE. 46:17 HE BRINGS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT IS PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS. 46:21 I BELIEVE I HAVE IT BY FAITH. I EXPERIENCE RIGHTEOUSNESS BY 46:27 FAITH. IT'S PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS. 46:31 NOW, THE FLIP SIDE. PASTOR ARE YOU SAYING UNLESS I 46:36 AM WITH JESUS MY LIFE DOESN'T CHANGE. 46:39 IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH 46:43 JESUS AND NOT CHANGE. HE WILL CHANGE YOU. 46:46 LIKE GRABBING THE ELECTRIC FENCE. 46:48 IT WILL CHANGE YOU. IT WILL CHANGE YOU. 46:50 IF YOU HAVE A POT AND PUT IT IN THE SUN AND ADD MIRACLE 46:57 GROW, IT WILL GROW. WHEN WE ARE IN CHRIST WE ARE 47:01 IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND WE GROW. 47:03 HOW MUCH WE GROW, IN THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF 47:07 CHRIST. YOU DON'T GROW BY SAYING I'LL 47:11 TRY HARDER. YOU GROW BY SURRENDERING. 47:14 LORD, TAKE MY LIFE. SO WE CAN ALL THINK ABOUT 47:19 SOMETHING, WHETHER IT'S ATTITUDE OR OUR PRIDE OR 47:23 TOUCHER OR DISHONESTY, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. 47:27 IT BOTHERS US. IT SHOULD. 47:30 UNTIL WE SAY, LORD, NO MORE OF THIS. 47:34 CHANGE ME. TAKE THAT AWAY. 47:38 SOMEONE RUBS YOU THE WRONG WAY AND YOU SNAP. 47:43 JESUS SAYS -- YOU MAY SAY, DON'T BOTHER ME NOW. 47:46 HE WILL COME BACK AGAIN, REALLY? 47:49 HE WILL KEEP BUGGING YOU UNTIL YOU SAY, YOU'RE RIGHT, CHANGE 47:53 MY HEART, CHANGE MY HEART, CHANGE MY HEART. 47:56 >> THE VICTORY REALLY IS JESUS. 47:59 NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WE CAN'T WIN THAT RACE. 48:04 >> NOT THE SPIRITUAL RACE. >> THAT'S WHAT DO YOU BECAUSE 48:12 ACCORDING TO NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I CAN'T BE SAVED OF MY OWN 48:18 SELF. THERE IS NO WAY, LIKE THE 48:21 ATHLETES WHO TOOK ALL OF THOSE DRUGS. 48:24 IN OUR CASE WHEN WE SUBMIT AND COMMIT OUR LIFE TO HIM AND HIS 48:29 RIGHTEOUSNESS. SO IT'S HIS VICTORY ON THE 48:34 CROSS WITH HIS SALVATION GIVES US THE VICTORY AND GIVES THAT 48:37 TO US. BECAUSE YOU ARE WILLING, 48:40 BECAUSE YOU SEE YOUR NEED AFTER SAVIOR, BECAUSE I KNOW 48:43 IN THE FLESH YOU ARE NOT PERFECT. 48:45 NOW SINCE YOU REALIZE THAT AND YOU HAVE ASKED ME TO FORGIVE 48:48 YOU FROM YOUR SINS, I AM WILLING TO DO THAT. 48:53 ONCE WE DO THIS, GO AND TELL WHAT I HAVE DONE. 48:58 THE FLIP SIDE IS SOMEONE SAYING YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 49:07 BEAST, WHATEVER, WHAT ABOUT MY WEBSITE I SHOULDN'T LOOK AT. 49:11 WHAT ABOUT THIS AND THIS. YOU ARE GROWING NOW. 49:14 YOU ARE GROWING. YOU WILL SEE GROWTH. 49:17 A CHILD THAT STAYS A CHILD IS A TRAGEDY. 49:24 THE CHILD IS GOING TO GROW AND BECOME A MAN OR A WOMAN. 49:29 YOU WILL GROW BECAUSE YOUR FEET ARE IN THE DIRT OF THE 49:33 WORD OF GOD. I HOPE IT'S OKAY TO CALL THE 49:39 WORD OF GOD DIRT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 49:41 YOU'RE DRINKING IN GOD'S WORD, RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT. 49:44 YOU ARE GOING TO GROW. OUR FOCUS IS ON SPIRITUAL 49:48 GROWTH. WE ARE PRAYING, WE ARE 49:51 READING, WE ARE PRAYING WE ARE SHARING OUR FOCUS IS ON JESUS. 49:55 WE DO THIS JOYFULLY KNOWING THAT WE HAVE THE GIFT OF 50:00 SALVATION AND HAVE RECEIVED HIS PERFECT LOVE. 50:05 >> THIS IS SO, SO RICH. WHEN WE REALIZE THAT IT IS GOD 50:13 WHO THROUGH US, IT'S NOT US. SO GOD DOESN'T SAY, OKAY FOR 50:20 SAKE THE SIN ON YOUR OWN. LET GO OF THE SIN. 50:25 WE CAN'T DO IT. BUT HE GIVES US THE POWER TO 50:28 DO IT AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR GUARANTEE. 50:30 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> HE IS OUR GUARANTEE. 50:35 SO WE ARE FILLED THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 50:40 WE DON'T NEED TO BE DISCOURAGED. 50:44 BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR OWN POWER THAT WILL GIVE US THE VICTORY. 50:49 >> AS PAUL WROTE TO THE COL -- THE SMOKER WHO CALLED US WITH THE 50:59 QUESTION. THE DRINKER, THE LIAR. 51:04 GET ON HIS KNEES OR SIT IN A CHAIR, I DON'T CARE AND SAY TO 51:08 GOD, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. BECAUSE I'M YOUR CHILD AND 51:13 THIS SIN IS EATING ME UP. I CANNOT BEAT IT. 51:16 I WANT TO. BUT I CANNOT. 51:19 THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM. IT'S YOUR BATTLE. 51:22 IT'S YOUR FIGHT. I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO COME 51:26 IN MY LIFE AND SLAY THE GIANT. I TRUST THAT YOU WILL. 51:30 IT'S ONE OF THE REASON DAVID AND GOLIATH IS IN THE BOOK TO 51:36 SHOW YOU GIANTS CAN BE SLAIN. IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD THIS 51:43 THING THAT'S BUGGING YOU IS HIS PROBLEM. 51:50 IT IS GOD'S PROBLEM BECAUSE I CANNOT PUT IT AWAY, BUT HE 51:57 CAN. COME ON, GOD, SHOW US WHAT 52:00 YOU'VE GOT. I NEED TO YOU GIVE ME THE 52:02 VICTORY. KEEP PUSHING IT BACK ON GOD 52:05 AND WE SURRENDER. WE KNEEL. 52:09 WE COOPERATE. THIS IS ON GOD TO DO FOR US WE 52:15 CANNOT DO OURSELVES. >> SO WHEN WE DO IT WE BECOME 52:18 THE HAPPIEST, MOST EXISTED PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH AND 52:23 PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW WHEN THEY TALK TO US, WHEN THEY SEE US, 52:28 WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD AND FOR THAT IT PRIZE THAT GOD HAS 52:32 GIVEN US. AS WE HAVE READ THE BACK OF 52:34 THE BOOK AND THEY SAY THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF 52:39 THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF THE TESTIMONY. 52:41 THE FACT THAT WE CAN LOOK TO THE BICYCLE AND KNOW THE 52:44 OUTCOME. TO KNOW THE OUTCOME WHEN WE 52:48 ARE ON GOD'S SIDE. WHEN YOU INVITES JESUS IN YOUR 52:52 LIFE, YOU CAN'T LOSE. THE DEVIL CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY. 52:57 OUR SOULS BELONG TO GOD, THEY DON'T BELONG TO THE ENEMY. 53:02 THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN COSTS OUR ETERNITY IS OURSELF. 53:06 >> CORRECT. >> REALLY, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING 53:08 IT'S EASIER TO BE SAVED THAN TO BE LOST. 53:13 >> CAN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY. IN CHRIST, IF HE'S GOT YOU, 53:18 YOU HAVE THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE. 53:22 BELIEVE IT NOW LIVE IT. YOU HAVE THE ARMOR OF GOD AND 53:26 WE CAN GO THROUGH SPIRITUAL PRACTICES. 53:29 PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD. YOU PRAY, YOU YIELD. 53:33 AS YOU GROW IN THE GRACE OF GOD YOU WILL BE MORE SENSITIVE 53:36 TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD. HUH-UH, DON'T GO DOWN THAT 53:42 ROAD. DON'T CHEAT ON YOUR TAX FORM. 53:45 THIS IS GOD SPEAKS TO US. WE GROW AND WE GROW AND WE 53:50 GROW. HE IS GROWTH. 53:53 KEEP GROWING. THIS BUSINESS OF I GOT TO BE 53:55 HERE BEFORE I CAN HAVE ANY CERTAINTIES EVER SALVATION. 54:00 WE THINK THAT. YOU GRAB HOLD OF JESUS AND 54:04 LETS HIM GROW YOU. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT HOP ON 54:08 THE ELEVATOR AND HE WILL TAKE YOU UP. 54:11 THERE ARE TIMES YOU WILL TURN AND RUN. 54:19 JESUS IS WORKING IN YOUR LIFE. THAT WE ALL LEARN TO BE 54:29 CONFIDENT BECAUSE WE HAVE YIELDED OUR LIFE TO JESUS. 54:32 KEEP OUR EYES ON CHRIST AND ALLOW HIM TO GROW US AND MOLD 54:36 US. THAT LITTLE REDWOOD ONE DAY, 54:39 10 FEET TALL 1-RBGS HUNDRED FEET TALL. 54:43 IF JESUS DOESN'T COME BACK HE WILL BE WITH HIS HEAD IN THE 54:47 CLOUDS BECAUSE HE GREW. IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, IT 54:52 SAYS THAT GOD'S FEET WILL GROW TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE 54:56 WORLD WILL BE LIT UP WITH A MANIFESTATION OF THE CHARACTER 55:00 OF GOD IN THE PEOPLE OF HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO KNOW? 55:05 READ REVELATION 18. THE WORLD WILL LIGHTEN WITH 55:08 HIS GLORY. LISTEN. 55:10 THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO DO. THAT'S WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO 55:14 IN ME. THAT IS WHAT GOD IS GOING TO 55:17 DO. GOD SEES US, HE SEES US TO THE 55:22 EXTENT THAT THE WORLD SEES A MANIFESTATION OF HIS POWER. 55:26 THAT IS WHAT GOD IS IN THE PROCESS OF DOING. 55:29 THIS IS A GOOD DAY TO BE ALIVE. 55:32 >> I WANT TO SHOUT! >> GO AHEAD. 55:36 >> I LIKE IT. >> WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS IN 55:43 A CRAZY MIXED-UP WORLD WHERE IT SEEMS COMMON SENSE IS OUT 55:48 THE WINDOW IN THE SPIRITUAL SENSE, IT'S STICKING TO THE 55:53 WORD OF GOD THAT WILL BALANCE. THAT THE DEVIL WANTS YOU, HE 55:58 DOESN'T CARE, BUT WHAT YOU ARE PRESENTING TO US, LOOK, THERE 56:01 IS NO NEED TO BE DECEIVED ABOUT ALL OF THIS. 56:03 ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US WHO CALL OURSELVES CHRISTIANS THAT 56:07 WE ALLOW OURSELF TO THINK WE CAN EARN OUR WAY, OUR 56:11 SALVATION BY WHAT WE EAT OR ALL OF THESE THINGS. 56:15 OR ON THE OTHER HAND, SAYING I DON'T HAVE TO GET ANY BETTER 56:18 SINCE I CAN'T BE PERFECT ANYWAY. 56:23 WHAT YOU ARE TELLING US, I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST 56:27 WHO STRENGTHENS ME AND CONFORMITY TO GOD AND TO HIS 56:32 LIKENESS AND TO HIS CHARACTER. WE START HERE, THE PROCESS 56:38 OF -- WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT, THE PROCESS OF GROWING IN THE 56:41 THE LORD. WE ARE GROWING IN 56:46 SANCTIFICATION. LOUPE THE LORD TAKES -- NOW 56:49 THE LORD TAKES OVER. IT'S NOT MY GOODNESS. 56:54 IT'S BY HIS GRACE. WHEN HE CALLS, WE WILL ANSWER. 56:59 >> AMEN. [♪♪] |
