BEEN A YEAR THAT HAS BEEN FULL 00:18:33.34\00:18:37.25 OF SURPRISES, TO SAY THE LEAST. THERE IS A STORY THAT IS TOLD OF 00:18:37.25\00:18:41.68 A LITTLE BLIND GIRL THAT WAS TRAPPED IN A FIRE ON THE TENTH 00:18:41.68\00:18:44.79 FLOOR OF A MULTI-STORY BUILDING. SHE COULD MAKE HER WAY TO A 00:18:44.79\00:18:51.56 WINDOW. SHE FELT THE HEAT, AND SHE 00:18:51.56\00:18:57.63 SMELLED THE SMOKE FROM THE FIRE. SHE HEARD A FIREMAN YELL, JUMP, 00:18:57.63\00:19:04.91 JUMP. I CAN'T SEE. 00:19:04.91\00:19:10.05 THE FIREMAN SAID IF YOU DON'T JUMP YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. 00:19:10.05\00:19:13.88 IT'S BAD ENOUGH TO JUMP 10 STORIES HIGH. 00:19:13.88\00:19:18.89 YOU'RE JUMPING, THAT'S TERROR. IN THE MIDST OF THE CONFUSION 00:19:18.89\00:19:24.99 SHE HEARD ANOTHER VOICE. JUMP I GOT YOU. 00:19:24.99\00:19:34.27 SHE SAID OKAY, DADDY, I'LL JUMP. JESUS CHRIST KNOWS WE'RE 00:19:34.27\00:19:39.34 NERVOUS, BUT JUST JUMP. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR DADDY. 00:19:39.34\00:19:42.88 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY WE KNOW. 00:19:42.88\00:19:47.78 IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT I'VE LEARNED FROM THIS YEAR IS THAT 00:19:47.78\00:19:50.99 TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED. THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN 00:19:50.99\00:19:54.62 THIS WORLD. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE 00:19:54.62\00:19:56.99 GIVE UP HOPE. YOU SEE, AS HUMAN BEINGS WE SEEM 00:19:56.99\00:20:00.93 TO HAVE THIS NATURAL TENDENCY TO WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING AND TO 00:20:00.93\00:20:05.83 CONTROL EVERYTHING. AND AS I CONTINUE DEMOCRAT 00:20:05.83\00:20:09.60 PLATED THE CONCEPT OF SAFE, THERE IS A DEFINITION THAT I'VE 00:20:09.60\00:20:13.24 HELD ON TO THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. AS I THINK ABOUT FAITH, I SEE IT 00:20:13.24\00:20:18.08 AS THE ABILITY TO TOLERATE UN UNCERTAINTY WHILE TRUSTING IN 00:20:18.08\00:20:26.79 GOD. I SEE IT AS THE ABILITY TO 00:20:26.79\00:20:31.46 TOLERATE UNCERTAINTY WHILE TRUSTING IN GOD. 00:20:31.46\00:20:34.20 NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE 00:20:34.20\00:20:37.93 OF THINGS NOT SEEN. WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING 00:20:37.93\00:20:41.37 AND WE CERTAINLY DO NOT NEED TO CONTROL EVERYTHING. 00:20:41.37\00:20:47.11 WE DON'T NEED TO CONTROL EVERYTHING. 00:20:47.11\00:20:51.75 GOD. UNCERTAINTY IN THIS WORLD. 00:20:51.75\00:20:56.52 BUT ONE SURE THING IS THAT GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE, AND 00:20:56.52\00:21:00.26 JESUS IS COMING IN AGAIN. AND I BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS 00:21:00.26\00:21:04.39 COMING IN AGAIN SOON. IT'S EASY TO HAVE FAITH WHEN 00:21:04.39\00:21:08.00 IT'S CONVENIENT, BUT HOW WILL OUR FAITH HOLD UP WHEN WE'RE 00:21:08.00\00:21:12.17 FACED IN ADVERSITY. WE NEED TO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS 00:21:12.17\00:21:15.80 BUT WE NEED TO HAVE THE FAITH OF JESUS. 00:21:15.80\00:21:22.54 POWERFUL EXAMPLES FROM THE BIBLE DEALING WITH FAITH. 00:21:22.54\00:21:27.55 BUT FOR EXAMPLE, JOSEPH, JOSEPH WAS SOLD INTO SLAVERY BY HIS 00:21:27.55\00:21:34.96 BROTHERS, AND HIS SITUATION WASN'T LOOKING GOOD. 00:21:34.96\00:21:38.36 YET, HE MAINTAINED HIS FAITH IN GOD. 00:21:38.36\00:21:44.03 PROSPERITY AND INTO A PROMINENT POSITION IN PRISON. 00:21:44.03\00:21:48.57 I THINK OF SHADRACH, ME SHACK AND AMEN 00:21:48.57\00:22:06.96 ABIN--SHADRACH AND MESHACH.

PREPARED AN ARC FOR THE SAVING 00:22:30.01\00:22:34.35 OF HIS HOUSEHOLD BY WHICH HE CONDEMNED THE HOUSEHOLD AND 00:22:34.35\00:22:40.56 BECAME HEIR OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS ACCORDING TO FAITH. 00:22:40.56\00:22:44.16 I THINK ABOUT JOB. HE LOST EVERYTHING. 00:22:44.16\00:22:47.83 HIS WEALTH, HIS FAMILY, AND HIS HEALTH. 00:22:47.83\00:22:52.10 FAITH IN GOD. LOOK AT WHAT GOD DID FO HIM IN 00:22:52.10\00:22:55.60 THE END.

DOWN THAT I THOUGHT WAS VERY 00:43:58.93\00:44:04.84 INTERESTING. >> ALL RIGHT, PEN AND PAPER. 00:44:04.84\00:44:14.05 [LAUGHING] >> EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THIS 00:44:14.05\00:44:22.39 HOUSE, THEY LABOR IN VAIN WHICH BUILD IT. 00:44:22.39\00:44:25.89 THAT GOES FOR 3ABN AND EVERY MINISTER AND OUR LIVES AND OUR 00:44:25.89\00:44:32.63 MESSAGE OF HOPE. HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT THAT WE 00:44:32.63\00:44:37.74 NEED DESPERATELY RIGHT NOW. AND IT'S THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE 00:44:37.74\00:44:41.91 SAVING GRACE OF GOD, THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, AND I WOULD 00:44:41.91\00:44:45.55 ALSO SAY A WARNING TO GET READY. GET READY. 00:44:45.55\00:44:48.85 GET READY. FIRST POINT I WANT TO MAKE HERE. 00:44:48.85\00:44:51.72 I THINK--AGAIN, THE WORLD IS DOING OPPOSITE RIGHT NOW BUT 00:44:51.72\00:44:54.92 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON. 00:44:54.92\00:44:58.93 DO WE DO WHAT THE WORLD DOES OR DO WE DO WHAT THE WORLD WOULD 00:44:58.93\00:45:03.90 HAVE US DO. IN 1903 THERE WERE A COUPLE OF 00:45:03.90\00:45:12.81 LINES. PLANS SHOULD BE LAID FOR MASTER 00:45:12.81\00:45:18.51 SERVICE. ADVANCE THE WORK OF GOD. 00:45:18.51\00:45:24.29 POINT NUMBER ONE, WE NEED TO BE LAYING PLANS. 00:45:24.29\00:45:27.86 WE MUST LAY PLANS. I LAY PLANS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE 00:45:27.86\00:45:31.09 I DO IN LIFE. YOU PLAN TO TURN THE LIGHT 00:45:31.09\00:45:34.76 SWITCH ON. THERE ARE ALWAYS PLANS THAT 00:45:34.76\00:45:38.27 WE'RE MAKING. BUT WE NEED TO BE MAKING 00:45:38.27\00:45:43.30 ADVANCEMENT OF PLANS TO GET THE GOSPEL OUT. 00:45:43.30\00:45:46.91 AND THE REVIEW IN 1903 IT DAYS THIS, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE--THIS IS 00:45:46.91\00:45:54.68 A PLEADING, IT SAYS, FOR CHRIST CHRIST'S SAKE MAKE THE MOST OF 00:45:54.68\00:46:01.96 TO PLACE THE TRUTH BEFORE THE PEOPLE. 00:46:01.96\00:46:09.13 GET THIS MESSAGE GOING AND THE WORLD. 00:46:09.13\00:46:13.50 LIGHT OF THE PRESENT TRUTH TO WARN THE WORLD OF WHAT IS TAKING 00:46:13.50\00:46:17.41 PLACE RIGHT NOW AND SOON TO TAKE PLACE. 00:46:17.41\00:46:25.45 A LOT OF PEOPLE DISCOURAGED. MAYBE SOME PEOPLE CAN BE, BUT 00:46:25.45\00:46:29.32 I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DISCOURAGED ABOUT THINGS BECAUSE WE KNOW WHO 00:46:29.32\00:46:32.75 RULES. WE'RE GRATEFUL. 00:46:32.75\00:46:38.36 HANDS. THINGS TURNING NORTH, AGAIN, GOD 00:46:38.36\00:46:44.50 HAS EVERYTHING IN CONTROL. NUMBER THREE. 00:46:44.50\00:46:50.67 EVERY EFFORT POSSIBLE MUST BE MADE TO REVEAL CHRIST. 00:46:50.67\00:46:57.11 REVEAL CHRIST AS WHAT? A SIN-PARDONING SAVIOR. 00:46:57.11\00:47:01.22 THE ONE WHO BEARS OUR SINS. AND THE ONE WE REALIZE WHO IS 00:47:01.22\00:47:06.86 CALLED A BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR. 00:47:06.86\00:47:12.33 HE'S GOING TO SHOW HIS PEOPLE SOME FAVORS. 00:47:12.33\00:47:16.70 HE'S GOING TO DO SOME SPECIAL THINGS AND IT'S ALL GOING TO 00:47:16.70\00:47:23.30 TAKE PLACE BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD. 00:47:23.30\00:47:27.94 WONDERFUL THINGS. IT'S ONLY GUN HERE AT 3ABN. 00:47:27.94\00:47:33.98 AND ONE LAST THING. I WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME HERE. 00:47:33.98\00:47:41.12 I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION. THE FOURTH THING WOULD BE THIS. 00:47:41.12\00:47:45.73 I ASKED MYSELF THIS, THIS AFTERNOON. 00:47:45.73\00:47:51.43 OUR LIVES WHEN THE END OF THE YEAR BEGINS, WHAT WOULD BE OUR 00:47:51.43\00:47:59.44 RECORD OF THIS PAST YEAR? WHAT WOULD IT BE? 00:47:59.44\00:48:02.38 HOW WOULD IT READ? AND HOW--WOULD IT BE PLEASE TO 00:48:02.38\00:48:07.02 GO GOD FOR THE THINGS WE'VE DONE? 00:48:07.02\00:48:10.99 WOULD IT BE PLEASING? AND SO ASK YOURSELF THIS, WHY OR 00:48:10.99\00:48:14.79 WHY NOT? AND THEN MAYBE SOMETIME YOUR 00:48:14.79\00:48:18.03 HEART HAS BEEN DIVIDED. SOMETIMES WE GO THROUGH THAT AS 00:48:18.03\00:48:20.96 CHRISTIANS. AND YOU'RE ON FIRE YOU CAN'T 00:48:20.96\00:48:26.40 KEEP SILENT, AND OTHER TIMES YOU SLOW DOWN AND YOU WANT TO TAKE A 00:48:26.40\00:48:31.71 BREAK, AND YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ENEMY. 00:48:31.71\00:48:36.14 THIS NEW YEAR. RIGHT NOW BEGIN MAKE A NEW 00:48:36.14\00:48:40.48 COMMITMENT TO JESUS CHRIST. THE WORLD IS NOT DOING THAT 00:48:40.48\00:48:43.45 RIGHT NOW. THAT COMMITMENT. 00:48:43.45\00:48:50.79 CHRIST, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD. 00:48:50.79\00:48:53.90 DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD. I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN 00:48:53.90\00:48:56.63 THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. I KNOW YOU DO, TOO. 00:48:56.63\00:48:59.87 WE NEED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE DIFFERENCE NOT ONLY IN OUR 00:48:59.87\00:49:03.24 LIVES, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. 00:49:03.24\00:49:06.37 WE CAN BE THAT KIND OF INFLUENCE THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT. 00:49:06.37\00:49:11.48 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING. 00:49:11.48\00:49:15.02 IT'S JUST A COUPLE OF LITTLE LINES. 00:49:15.02\00:49:20.62 HEAVEN. I KNOW WHAT THE WORLD SAYS ABOUT 00:49:20.62\00:49:28.03 THE BANK AND ECONOMY. BUT THIS IS THE BANK OF HEAVEN. 00:49:28.03\00:49:31.07 AS LONG AS YOU LOOK TO CHRIST, YOU ARE SAFE. 00:49:31.07\00:49:37.64 S.-A-F-E. I MEAN, KEEP LOOKING TO HIM. 00:49:37.64\00:49:43.48 THIS IS A NEW YEAR AND BIG CHANGES ARE TAKING PLACE. 00:49:43.48\00:49:46.48 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. SO WE NEED TO BE LOOKING MORE 00:49:46.48\00:49:49.25 THAN EVER BEFORE. THE BIBLE SAYS WE NEED TO BEHOLD 00:49:49.25\00:49:52.25 AND WE NEED TO LIVE UP CHRIST. AS THESE CHANGES COME, WE NEED 00:49:52.25\00:49:57.33 HIM MORE THAN EVER. THIS NEW YEAR I'M NOT MAKING 00:49:57.33\00:50:00.43 PLANS ABOUT THIS. IT'S SIMPLY HOW CAN WE BETTER 00:50:00.43\00:50:03.77 SERVE CHRIST. AND I LOOK AT MY OWN LIFE AND 00:50:03.77\00:50:08.74 IT'S NOT ENOUGH. NO MATTER WHAT HE ALLOWS US TO 00:50:08.74\00:50:12.17 DO, IT'S NOT ENOUGH. IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM. 00:50:12.17\00:50:14.88 HE DID EVERYTHING FOR US. I JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYONE, MAKE 00:50:14.88\00:50:19.51 THAT COMMITMENT TO CHRIST AND ASK, LORD, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE 00:50:19.51\00:50:24.15 ME DO? >> YES. 00:50:24.15\00:50:28.29 THE LAMB MINISTRIES.
