I LIKE TO THINK IT'S A JOURNEY. 04:13 MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THROUGH SIMILAR THINGS IN THESE KIND OF 04:18 JOURNEYS, AND I THINK PROBABLY THE MAIN THEME THAT WILL HELP 04:21 AND ENCOURAGE US, IS NUMBER 1, THE PRAYER OF THE SAINTS. 04:26 I FEEL LIKE I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE PRAYERS OF THE 04:31 SAINTS. AND A LOT OF SAINTS HAVE BEEN 04:34 PRAYING. SO I PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. 04:36 HE SAYS WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU. I WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU. 04:42 I SENSE THAT. I BELIEVE THAT, AND I SEE IT. 04:46 IT'S BEARING FRUIT. SO DAY BY DAY GETTING STRONGER. 04:51 AND ALWAYS BEEN ENCOURAGED BY THE TEXTS AND PHONE CALLS AND 04:55 CARDS, AND SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN INTERESTED, YOU KNOW, 04:59 IN THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE, AND RIGHTFULLY SO, BUT THIS PROGRAM 05:02 IS NOT REALLY ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL OR THINGS THAT MAYBE 05:07 HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM HAS HAPPENED TO MILLIONS OF OTHERS, 05:13 BUT IT'S MORE ABOUT LIFTING UP JESUS CHRIST. 05:15 AND I WANT TO THANK HIM. I THINK HE HAS GIVEN ME ANOTHER 05:20 OPPORTUNITY, PRIVILEGE TO WORK IN HIS VINEYARD. 05:26 AND I THINK EVERY DAY I OPEN MY EYES, BROTHER CA, OH, THANK YOU, 05:33 LORD. SO I THING HIM FOR THAT, AND FOR 05:35 THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING HERE. I HAVE HEARD FROM SO MANY OF 05:43 YOU.

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO A PROGRAM 11:41 SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WHERE WE WERE NOT -- WELL, JILL AND I ARE NOT 11:47 NECESSARILY THE PASTORS ON OUR PANEL. 11:51 BUT WE COULDN'T ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS A FEW WEEKS AGO, SO 11:55 WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER THEM TONIGHT BY THE GRACE OF GOD. 12:00 WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD? 12:03 >> I MEAN PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS. YOU AS PASTORS, YOU HAVE 12:08 QUESTIONS. BUT WHY DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS? 12:10 WELL, LET ME ASK THAT. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT WE ASK 12:17 THE QUESTIONS ON THE WORD OF GOD? 12:20 >> I SAID TO SOMEONE ONCE IF YOU MEET A DOCTOR THAT IS NO LONGER 12:25 PRACTICING, DON'T SEE HIM. [ LAUGHTER ] 12:27 >> BECAUSE HE COULD BE A DOCTOR FOR 25 YEARS, BUT HE IS STILL 12:33 PRACTICING. BECAUSE THERE'S NEW INFORMATION 12:35 CONTINUALLY BEING BROUGHT TO THE FOREFRONT. 12:40 IT'S NOT BEING CONTINUALLY WRITTEN IN, BUT IT'S A LIGHT 12:45 THAT SHINETH MORE AND MORE. WE HAVE READ CERTAIN SCRIPTURES 12:50 IN THESE BIBLE THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HAD AN EPIPHANY THAT, 12:58 OH, WOW, NOW IT MAKES SENSE. MANY THINGS I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU 13:03 NOW, BUT YOU CANNOT BARE IT, BUT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT LATER ON. 13:09 AND ALSO JOHN SAYS IF -- IF BOOKS WERE WRITTEN ABOUT 13:14 EVERYTHING THAT JESUS WAS DONE, I SUPPOSE NOT EVEN THE WORLD 13:17 ITSELF COULD CONTAIN ALL OF THESE BOOKS. 13:20 THE NUMBER 1 THING IS, I COULD ALWAYS SAY IT'S NOT MY OPINION. 13:25 THAT'S WHAT THE AUTHORITIES -STATE ON GOD'S WORD. PASTOR CA? 13:32 >> PAUL SAYS [ INAUDIBLE ] APPROVED. 13:35 ON A VERY BASIC LEVEL THE BIBLE IS LIKE A TOOL. 13:39 YOU ARE A PRETTY HANDY GUY WITH A HAMMER. 13:43 >> YEAH, I LIKE TO HAMMER NAILS. >> YEAH. 13:46 AND THE MORE YOU USE A PARTICULAR TOOL THE MORE 13:51 FACILITY YOU DEVELOP WITH THAT TOOL. 13:55 IT'S LIKE A VIOLIN. IF JAMIE GEORGE PLAYS THE 14:01 VIOLIN, AND I TOOK SOME VIOLIN LESSONS FOR A YEAR, MANY, MANY 14:06 YEARS AGO, I SUSPECT IF I TOOK JAMIE'S VIOLIN AND BEGAN TO 14:14 PLAY, I COULDN'T SOUND QUITE LIKE HE SOUNDS. 14:17 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BECAUSE I HAVE NOT TRAINED 14:20 MYSELF ON THE TOOL. AND THE MORE YOU SPEND TIME WITH 14:24 A TOOL, THE MORE PROFICIENT YOU BECOME WITH THAT TOOL. 14:29 AND SINCE WE KNOW THEY WERE ALL GOING TO BE TESTED, THEN THAT 14:35 OUGHT TO BE OUR WEAPON OF CHOICE. 14:37 YOU HAVE NOT TO KNOW HOW TO WIELD THAT WEAPON IF YOU ARE 14:43 GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE BATTLE WITH THE LORD. 14:47 WHEN YOU ARE TESTED, THEN YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK OR 14:52 WHAT POWER YOU HAVE. IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT HELPS 14:55 YOU ALONG -- ALONG THE WAY. >> AMEN. 14:58 >> I USE THAT ILLUSTRATION THAT YOU DID WITH THE VIOLIN. 15:01 THE GUITAR, I USED TO PLAY QUITE A BIT. 15:05 AND WHEN YOU PLAY QUITE OFTEN YOU GET THE LITTLE CALLUSES ON 15:09 YOUR FINGERS. AND RIGHT NOW I CAN PICK IT UP 15:12 AND MAKE TWO OR THREE CHORDS AND I SAY OH, WAIT. 15:16 [ LAUGHTER ] >> HOW COME THESE THINGS ARE 15:19 HURTING? AND WHY AM I MUTING SOME OF THE 15:22 STRINGS? WELL, BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN 15:24 PRACTICING. SO WE NEED TO BE IN PRACTICING 15:28 THE WORD OF GOD. OUR FAITH NEEDS TO BE INCREASED. 15:32 AND THE BIBLE SAYS FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE 15:36 WORD OF GOD. WE REALIZE JESUS IS COMING. 15:40 WE NEED TO SPEND THAT -- OUR TIME IN THE WORD NOW. 15:43 >> AMEN. >> AND I HAVE BEEN REMINDED OVER 15:46 AND OVER THAT WE ARE HERE TO HELP OTHERS. 15:50 >> UH-HUH. >> IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT 15:52 OURSELVES, IT'S ABOUT OTHERS. AND THE LORD HAS REMINDED ME 15:56 OVER AND OVER. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. 16:00 IT'S ABOUT OTHER FOLKS AND LIFTING HIM UP. 16:02 AND STUDYING THE WORD LIFTS HIM UP. 16:05 AND THE MORE YOU ARE IN THE WORD, THE MORE SPIRITUAL MINDED 16:11 THAT YOU ARE. THE CLOSER YOU GET TO HIM, THE 16:14 MORE THAT THE WORDS CAN SEEM TO COME OUT AND THE THOUGHTS COME 16:18 OUT, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT GETS CLOSER TO YOU, SO, MAN, WE NEED 16:22 TO STAY IN THE WORD >> AMEN. 16:24 >> YOU NEED TO TRAIN YOURSELF TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. 16:27 HOW IS IT THAT WE CAN WATCH A BASKETBALL GAME, OR FOOTBALL 16:33 GAME, FOR HOURS ON TELEVISION, AND YOU ARE FINE. 16:35 AND YOU OPEN UP THE WORD OF GOD, IN THE BEGINNING . . . AND FIVE 16:42 MINUTES LATER YOU ARE GONE. >> THAT'S THE WORK OF THE ENEMY. 16:46 >> IT IS THE WORK OF THE ENEMY. HE KNOWS THERE IS POWER IN THE 16:50 WORD. SO HE WANTS YOU TO BE DISTRACTED 16:54 FROM READING THE WORD. SO YOU REALLY NEED TO DEVELOP A 16:59 MIND SET. AND SOMETIMES YOU DON'T NEED TO 17:03 READ A WHOLE CHAPTER, JUST READ A COUPLE OF VERSES, AND THEN YOU 17:08 DEVELOP YOUR SPIRITUAL MUSCLES THAT YOU CAN READ LONG PASSAGES. 17:13 AND THEN YOU FIND STUFF STICKS. AND SOMEONE SAYS WHAT ABOUT SO 17:17 AND SO. AND BOOM HERE COMES A TEXT. 17:20 I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THAT TEXT IN THERE, BUT IT'S THERE. 17:24 BECAUSE THE LORD PLANTED IT THERE. 17:27 >> AND THE PERSONAL BENEFIT OF THE STUDY OF THE WORD OF GOD IS 17:31 WHAT DAVID SAID, THY WORD THAT I HID IN MY HEART. 17:39 UNLESS YOU HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOMETHING IS RIGHT OR 17:44 WRONG, IT DOEN'T EVEN IMPACT YOUR DECISIONS. 17:46 THE WORD OF GOD IS AN ENABLER, IT'S ALSO A DISABLER. 17:51 IT ENABLES US TO DO RIGHT. IT DISABLES US FROM DOING WRONG. 17:57 AND THE OTHER DAY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, AND THIS THOUGHT 18:00 CAME TO ME -- IT WAS LIKE A MEDIA JUST FALLING IN MY 18:07 BACKYARD. AND THE THOUGHT CAME TO ME, GOD 18:10 DOESN'T LEARN. HE DOESN'T LEARN ANYTHING NEW. 18:13 WE ARE LEARN. WE ARE EVER-LEARNING, BUT GOD 18:17 DOESN'T LEARN. HE KNOWS IT ALL. 18:20 HAVE YOU MET ANYBODY THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO LEARN? 18:22 THAT BLEW ME AWAY. SO WHEN I OPEN THE BIBLE, I AM 18:27 BEING EXPOSED TO SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T HAVE TO LEARN, BECAUSE 18:29 HE KNOWS IT ALL. >> YEAH. 18:31 >> AND THAT TO ME WAS PROFOUND THAT GOD KNOWS IT ALL. 18:36 THE APOSTLE PAUL IN SO MANY WAYS -- AND WE GO BACK TO GREG'S 18:40 EXAMPLE.-IT'S HARD TO THINK THIS WONDERFULLY CLAD YOUNG MAN LOVES 18:45 TO CUT TREES WITH CHAIN SAWS, SOME PEOPLE SAY YOU CLEAN UP 18:55 WELL. HE GETS DIRTY WELL. 18:58 GREG KNOWS HOW TO GET OUT THERE -- 19:01 >> PUT A BALL CAP UP. >> PUT A BALL CUP ON, AND HE CAN 19:08 CUT DOWN ALL OF YOUR TREES. BUT WHEN I SEE HIM WITH A 19:13 HAMMER, I KNOW HE CAN RIGHTLY DIVIDE HIS CRAFT. 19:16 WHEN YOU STUDY THE WORD OF GOD, YOU CAN RIGHTLY DIVIDE YOUR 19:21 CRAFT. SO PEOPLE WHO AVOID CONFRONTING 19:24 WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, THEY CAN SOME -- COME TO SHAME. 19:30 WHEN I LIVED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, I WAS OF A DIFFERENT 19:35 DENOMINATION. AND EVERY QUESTION THIS PASTOR 19:39 REQUEST -- ASKED ME, AND I WOULD SAY THE BIBLE SAYS -- AND 19:45 HE STOPPED ME AND SAID WOULD YOU STOP SAYING THE BIBLE SAYS AND 19:52 JUST GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER. AND I SAID SIR, I DON'T HAVE ANY 19:57 AUTHORITY. IT'S ON GOD'S WORD THAT I HAVE 20:01 AUTHORITY. AND NEVER INVITED HIM BACK, BUT 20:04 THEY INVITED ME BACK FOR THREE MORE PROGRAMS EVEN THOUGH THE 20:07 STATION WAS OWNED BY A DIFFERENT DENOMINATION. 20:12 >> AMEN. >> SO GOD'S WORD TODAY WE ARE 20:15 GOING TO FIND IN ANSWERING THE QUESTION. 20:17 WE'RE GOING TO GO TO GOD'S WORD. >> I SEE A PATTERN NOW. 20:27 SOMETHING THE PASTOR SAID ABOUT HAVING YOUR OWN OPINION. 20:30 AND WE NEED TO GET TO THE -QUESTIONS. BUT JEREMIAH 10:23, YOU ARE 20:39 GOING TO COME UP TO SOME WISDOM THAT YOU NEED HELP. 20:43 AND IT'S JOHN'S OPINION, KENNY'S OPINION, OR MY OPINION, 20:50 EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION, BUT OUR OPINION HAS TO BE SUBJECT TO 20:54 THE WORD OF GOD. SO YOU GO TO GOD. 20:58 YOU GET THE TRUTH EACH TIME AND EVERY TIME BECAUSE GOD IS TRUTH. 21:01 >> AMEN. NOW WE GET TO QUESTIONS HERE. 21:04 >> WONDERFUL. >> THIS IS FROM BECKY. 21:08 ARE WE PREDESTINED TO BE BORN A HOMOSEXUAL, A MURDERER, A THIEF, 21:13 A PROSTITUTE? IS IT A CURSE FROM OUR PARENTS 21:18 OR SOMEONE ELSE'S SIN IMPOSED ON US. 21:21 HOW CAN THIS STOP? I THINK SHE MEANS HOW CAN THESE 21:26 SINS STOP. IS JESUS THE ONLY WAY OUT? 21:29 PLEASE GIVE ME SCRIPTURES OF WHAT AND HOW. 21:36 >> PSALMS IS IT 51:5. IN SIN I WAS BORN -- 21:43 >> ALL RIGHT. >> IT'S PSALMS -- 21:46 >> 51 -- >> 54. 21:50 I'M HAVING A SENIOR MOMENT. BUT LET ME GIVE MY THOUGHTS. 21:56 I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS BORN INTO A PARTICULAR SIN. 21:59 I THINK WE'RE BORN INTO A SINFUL CONDITION THAT MANIFESTS ITSELF 22:05 IN ANY NUMBER OF WAYS. >> OKAY. 22:07 >> THERE IS SO MUCH I HAVE READ -- THERE IS SO MUCH 22:12 MATERIAL ON HOMOSEXUALITY, WHETHER IT'S TAUGHT, WHETHER 22:16 IT'S GENETIC, AND THE SCIENTISTS ARE STILL DEBATING IF IT IS 22:21 SOMETHING YOU PICK UP ALONG THE WAY, OR IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU 22:24 ARE BORN WITH. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWER 22:27 PER SE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. >> OKAY. 22:29 >> WHAT WE NEED TO LEAN ON IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE TOLD IN THE 22:36 PROPHETIC WORD THAT THOSE SINS EITHER CONGENITAL OR THOSE THAT 22:41 WE PICKED UP ALONG THE WAY CAN BE DEFEATED IN JESUS CHRIST. 22:45 PAUL SAYS IN I THINK 2 CORINTHIANS, CHRIST ALWAYS LEADS 22:53 US IN TRIUMPH SO THAT WE CAN BE -- AND THERE IS A THEME OF 22:58 OVERCOMER, IT RUNS THROUGHOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT -- THAT WE CAN 23:02 BE OVERCOMERS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THE LORD. 23:06 SO REGARDLESS OF WHAT SIN YOU HAVE, BE IT SOMETHING THAT YOU 23:10 WERE BORN WITH OR SOMETHING THAT YOU PICKED UP ALONG THE WAY, IT 23:14 CAN BE OVERCOME THROUGH JESUS CHRIS. 23:16 AND THE REASON THAT IS IMPORTANT IS -- I SAID THIS BEFORE, I GOT 23:21 STUFF. YOU GOT STUFF. 23:23 ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN GOT STUFF. SO I CAN TROD OFF MY STUFF, AND 23:29 JILL AND GREG, WE CAN ALL LOOK AT OUR STUFF, BUT THE REASON 23:38 DIAGNOSE PARTICULAR DISEASES, SO THAT THE TREATMENT WILL BE 23:48 PERTINENT TO THAT DISEASE. IF YOU COME IN WITH A COLD AND 23:52 YOU COME IN WITH CANCER, YOUR TREATMENT IS NOT GOING TO BE THE 23:57 SAME. >> EITHER THAT ON YOU NEED A NEW 24:01 DOCTOR. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 24:03 IN JESUS THE TREATMENT IS THE SAME REGARD LESS OF HIS DISEASE. 24:07 WELL, HE IS HOMOSEXUAL. WELL HE IS A THEF, WELL HE 24:13 BEATS UP HIS MOTHER. WELL, HE BEATS UP HIS WIFE. 24:17 THOSE ARE ALL SINS THA WILL TAKE US TO HELL IF WE DO NOT 24:22 SURRENDER TO THE LORD. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME, 24:29 SURRENDER TO JESUS CHRIST. WE TEND TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME 24:33 ON A DISEASE, AND WE NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME ON THE CURE. 24:38 >> ONE QUICK VERSE ROMANS 12:1. I BESEECH YOU BROTHER AND 24:47 BROTHER, MERCY OF GOD THAT YOU PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING 24:52 SACRIFICE, HOLY ACCEPTABLE TO GOD WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE 24:57 SERVICE. HOW INTERESTING THAT IS. 24:59 THAT'S GOD'S PLAN FOR US. WE FIND MEN MAY FAIL. 25:03 GOD MAY EVEN CHANGE HIS PLANS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH MAN KIND, BUT 25:08 HE NEVER, NEVER ABANDONED HIS PURPOSE FOR MAN KIND. 25:14 IT'S FOR US TO BE CREATED INTO HIS IMAGE. 25:19 SO THAT'S FOOD FOR THOUGHT AS WE GO ABOUT THIS, WE TALK ABOUT 25:24 LUGGAGE AND BAGGAGE AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE ALL 25:28 HAVE. PRESENT IT TO JEUS CHRIS, ALL 25:31 THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. VICTORY IS ASSURED TO THOSE WHO 25:34 GO TO THE LORD IN PRAYER. >> AND PASTOR CA, YOUR SCRIPTURE 25:45 WAS PSALMS 54:5.-PASTOR JOHN? >> THERE WAS THE STORY OF THE 25:52 HEALING OF THE BLIND MAN, WHO HAD A MOTHER, A FATHER, IN A 26:00 QUANTITY ABOUT HOW THIS HAPPENED. 26:03 >> JOHN 9? >> JOHN 9. 26:05 >> THIS STORY IS SO REMNANT OF OUR CONDITION. 26:11 IN VERSE 34 JOHN 9. THE PHARAOHSIES SAID THEY 26:17 ANSWERED AND SAID TO HIM, YOU WERE COMPLETELY BORN IN SIN. 26:25 THAT'S OUR CONDITION. ALL OF US ARE BORN IN SIN. 26:29 THAT'S JUST THE CONDITION. ROMANS 3:23 FOR ALL HAVE SINNED 26:35 AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOT. 26:40 1 CORINTHIANS 22. AS AN ADAM, WE INHERITED THE 26:45 NATURE OF ADAM, THE NATURE OF SIN. 26:48 THE NATURE OF SIN IS NOT THE ACT OF SINS. 26:52 THE NATURE IS WHAT PREDISPOSES US TO BECOME ANYTHING. 26:57 >> PRECISELY. >> THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT OUR 27:00 ENVIRONMENT. WHAT MAKES ME A HOMOSEXUAL, 27:04 THIEF, ADULTER, ROBBER, LIAR, OFTENTIMES WE ARE SHAPED BY OUR 27:11 ENVIRONMENT. AND THEN THERE ARE THREE 27:14 DISPOSITIONS. ONE I CALL IT HEREDITARY. 27:17 SOME -- SOME CHILDREN ARE BORN PREDISPOSED TO ALCOHOLISM, 27:23 BECAUSE THEY CALL THEM ALCOHOL BABIES OR DRUG BABIS. 27:26 YOU WOULD GO TO THE WARDS AND SEE THESE BABIES BORN PREMATURE. 27:35 WHAT HAPPENED? MOTHER SMOKED. 27:39 MOTHER TOOK DRUGS. DAD WAS A CRACK ADDICT. 27:42 THOSE ARE THE EFFECTS OF THE CHILD'S LIFE. 27:46 BUT THE BIBLE MAKES IT CLEAR, FORGIVING THE INIQUITY AND 27:53 TRANSGRESS AND SIN, BUT BY NO MEANS CLEARING THE GUILTY. 27:59 VISITING THE INIQUITIES UPON THE CHILDREN AND THE CHILDREN'S 28:05 CHILDREN. WE CALL THAT A GENERATIONAL 28:09 CURSE. IT CAN BE BROKEN. 28:12 JOHN 8:36. SO THE SIN CAN BE FREED. 28:20 WHAT IS THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH IN THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH IS 28:24 VERY SIMPLE. MATTHEW 7, 14-15, A BAD TREE 28:31 CANNOT BRING FORTH GOOD FRUT. SO AS SINNERS WE BRING FORTH BAD 28:36 FRUIT UNTIL WE ARE NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THAT CORRUPT TREE. 28:41 IF THE VINE IS GOOD SO ARE THE FRUIT OF THE BRANCH. 28:46 BUT THE NET SHELL OF THIS IS, NOW I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO 28:51 VERSE 2 OF JOHN 9. THE VIRAL WE LIVE IN -- I 28:55 MENTIONED HEREDITARY, WHICH IS WHAT WE OFTEN SOMETIMES GET FROM 29:00 OUR PARENTS. AND PEOPLE SAY YOU SEEM JUST 29:03 LIKE YOUR MOTHER. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM? 29:08 PART OF THE FAMILY HERITAGE IS FROM THE PHILIPPINES. 29:14 AND PEOPLE SAY THAT AREA KNOWN FOR SINGERS. 29:23 AND MY DAD WAS NATIVE AMERICAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN. 29:27 AND THEY SAID YOU WERE PREDESTINED TO BE A SINGER. 29:32 I DID'T KNOW MY MOTHER. DIDN'T KNOW MY DAD, DIDN'T KNOW 29:37 HE WAS A JAZZ MUSICIAN. BUT I WAS RAISED IN A HOME BY A 29:43 MAN WHO EVERY WEEKEND WHEN THE CLOCK STRUCK WHATEVER, MY UNCLES 29:50 WOULD BRING OVER THEIR GUITARS AND PLAY CALYPSO. 29:58 SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU YIELD, JAMES 1, WHEN THAT SIN BEGINS TO 30:06 GROW, YOU GIVE BIRTH TO SIN. PEOPLE TEND TO DABBLE IN THE SIN 30:12 OF OUR GENERATION. WE ARE CONDITIONING OUR 30:17 GENERATION TO TRY ANYTHING. MAKING THEM THINK THERE AE NO 30:21 LASTING IMPACTS TO THAT. I MENTIONED HEREDITARY. 30:25 AND CULTIVATED. PRACTICE SOMETHING, AND ALL OF A 30:30 SUDDEN -- THE RECALCITRANCE AND THE ABHORRENCE TO THAT SIN IS NO 30:38 LONGER THERE. SO WHAT WAS EVIL TO YOU, AS WITH 30:42 THE FIRST PACK OF THE CIGARETTE, YOU CAN NOW SMOKE THREE PACKS A 30:49 DAY WITHOUT CHOKING. WE ARE SINNERINGS BY INHAIRANCE. 30:55 WE ARE ALL BORN IN THE NATURE OF SIN. 30:59 >> AMEN. >> WHAT YOU BECOME -- AND A LOT 31:02 OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THIS -- WHAT YOU BECOME IS THE 31:06 CHOICE YOU MAKE. SOME PEOPLE SAY I WASN'T 31:09 PREDESTINED TO BE HOMOSEXUAL. THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN 31:14 GENETICALLY. THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT WERE BORN 31:16 SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY. AND AFTER 6,000 YEARS, PASTOR 31:21 CA, IF YOU PHOTOCOPY SOMETHING FOR 6,000 YEAR. 31:25 WHERE IS THE ORIGINAL? WELL, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS. 31:30 THE CORRUPTION OF MAN'S SEED BEGINS TO BRING ABOUT ALL KINDS 31:36 OF MALADIES IN OUR GENERATION THAT ARE INEXPLAINABLE. 31:43 BUT PROSTITUTION AND HOMOSEXUALITY, IS NOT A MALADY, 31:50 BUT IT'S A CHOICE WE MAKE. BUT THE QUESTION IS CAN WE BE 31:56 DELIVERED. >> THAT'S THE QUESTION. 31:57 >> ROMANS 8, CAN WE BE DELIVERED. 32:05 THERE IS NOTHING GOD CAN'T GIVE YOU FROM. 32:08 WE TEND TO GIVE THE SIN MORE WEIGHT THAN THE SAVIOR. 32:12 WELL, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. THIS IS HOW I HAVE BEEN ALL MY 32:16 LIFE. THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, YOU MUST 32:20 BE -- >> BORN AGAIN. 32:22 >> PASTOR, SOME STUFF IS TOUGH. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE 32:26 HANDED A TOUGH HAND, BUT GREATER IS HAE [ INAUDIBLE ] WORLD. 32:31 YOU HAVE GOT TO RELY ON THE ABILITY OF JESUS TO FREE YOU 32:35 FROM WHATEVER YOU HAVE, AND DON'T MAKE YOUR SIN BIGGER THAN 32:39 YOUR SAVIOR. >> RIGHT. 32:40 THAT'S TRUE. GOOD POINT. 32:42 >> I MENTIONED JOHN 9, BUT WE'RE GOING TO READ ROMANS. 32:47 THE QUESTION WAS ASKED BY THE RABBI. 32:50 WHO SINNED? THIS MAN OR HIS PARENTS THAT HE 32:55 WAS BORN -- WHATEVER THE CONDITION -- BLIND. 32:58 WHICH MAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MAN'S CONDITION? 33:05 WHAT CAN JESUS DO? ROMANS 9:2. 33:08 FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE -- 9:2. 33:13 >> 8:2. >> OKAY. 33:14 THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. 33:16 >> ROMANS 8:2 FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN CHRIST JESUS 33:22 HAS MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. 33:29 ROMANS 6:7 SAYS TALKING ABOUT BAPTISM BEING IN CHRIST, FOR HE 33:34 WHO HAS DIED HAS BEEN FREED FROM SIN. 33:38 IN THAT HAS DIED TO ALL NATURE THAT CONTROLLED YOU. 33:41 IF WE DIED WITH CHRIST WE BELIEVE WE SHOULD ALSO LIVE WITH 33:46 HIM. AND HERE IS KEY. 33:48 DEATH NO LONGER HAS DOMAIN OVER HIM. 34:02 >> THEREFORE DO NOT LET SIN -- I WAS GETTING READY TO HEAD TO 34:10 THIS. >> OKAY. 34:15 >> SIN IS LUSTFUL. IT HAS A CALL TO IT. 34:19 BUT YOU GOT TO MAKE A CHOICE, DO NOT LET SIN REIGN IN YOUR MORE 34:28 TALL BODY. WHY OBEY IT? 34:30 WHEN YOU OBEY IT, YOU BECOME A SLAVE IT TO. 34:34 SLAVES CAN'T FREE THEMSELVES. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE CALLED 34:37 SLAVES. BUT JESUS CAN FREE US. 34:40 >> CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, OH GOD, AND RENEW THE SPIRIT 34:45 WITHIN ME. SO BASICALLY PRAY THAT PRAYER. 34:49 >> AMEN. >> WHAT THE PASTORS ARE SHARING, 34:53 THESE ARE PROMISES, AND NOT JUST PROMISES FROM MAN, PROMISES FROM 35:00 WHO? THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. 35:02 >> AND HOW OFTEN DID PAUL THE APOSTLE -- HOW OFTEN DID HE SAY 35:07 HE NEEDED TO RECOMMIT HIMSELF TO GOD. 35:10 DAY BY DAY. >> I'M THINKING MOMENT BY 35:13 MOMENT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 35:14 WE'RE NOT SAVED BY A MOMENT, UNLESS WE DO THAT. 35:17 >> I'M THINKING ABOUT THE -- LOT'S TWO DAUGHTERS, AND 35:22 THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I WAS BORN THIS WAY. 35:25 I WAS BORN THIS SIDE OF THE TRACKS, THIS OR THAT. 35:30 BUT IT SAID LOT'S TWO DAUGHTERS DIDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE 35:38 BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY SPENT THEIR TIME. 35:43 IT'S POSSIBLE WE REALLY DO NOT KNOW RIGHT AND WRONG OR WE SAY 35:48 CIRCUMSTANCES, SPIRIT PROPHECY ALSO SAYS ABOUT CIRCUMSTANCES. 35:53 CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN WE -- WELL, CIRCUMSTANCE THAT'S WHY I DID 35:56 IT, BECAUSE. HE SAID CIRCUMSTANCES IS NEVER 35:58 TO CONTROL US. WE ARE TO CONTROL CIRCUMSTANCES 36:00 BY THE GRACE OF GOD. >> UH-HUH. 36:04 >> THINK ABOUT IT. CIRCUMSTANCE BECAUSE THIS WAS 36:07 HAPPENING. THIS IS WHY I DID. 36:09 WE ARE TO CONTROL CIRCUMSTANCE BY THE GRACE OF GOD. 36:12 >> YEAH. >> THAT IS VERY POWERFUL WHEN 36:14 YOU LOOK AT IT. >> THAT IS TRUE. 36:17 AND I APPRECIATE WHAT PASTOR JUST SAID. 36:23 THROUGH SIN OUR WILL POWER HAS BEEN DAMAGED. 36:26 THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN BY FORCE OF YOUR WILL SAY I'M NOT 36:30 GOING TO DO THAT. AND THEN YOU HAVE OTHER DAYS 36:34 WHEN YOUR FLESH IS STRONGER THAN YOUR WILL. 36:37 I HAD A YOUNG LADY WHEN I WAS PASTORING, WHO HAD A CRACK 36:42 ADDICTION. SHE TOLD ME THAT I DID NOT KNOW 36:44 THAT CRACK HAD THE ABILITY TO HOOK YOU AFTER ONE SAMPLING. 36:49 ONE SAMPLING AND SHE WAS HOOKED. SHE HAD AN ADDICTIVE 36:54 PERSONALITY, AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS BEING GIVEN, AND 36:59 FROM THE FIRST TIME IT TOUCHED HER, SHE WAS HOOKED. 37:02 >> WOW. AND IT LOOK A LOT OF WORK TO TRY 37:05 TO FREE HER -- FREE HER FROM THAT. 37:07 LET ME GIVE YOU THIS CLIP, AND I'LL DO IT REAL FAST. 37:12 >> SURE. THE WILL, I BELIEVE SHOULD NOT 37:24 BE USED TO TRY TO NOT DO SOMETHING. 37:27 THE WILL SHOULD BE USED TO SURRENDER TO JESUS. 37:32 >> AMEN. >> SUPPOSE I HAVE A THING FOR 37:43 JILL. SO I SAY I'M GOING TO IMPOSE MY 37:46 WILL IN NOT THINKING ABOUT JILL. SO IN NOT THINKING ABOUT JILL, I 37:51 AM IN EFFECT NOT THINKING ABOUT JILL. 37:54 I'M NOT GOING TO THIK ABOUT JIM. 37:56 THAT'S AN INCORRECT USE OF THE WILL. 37:59 YOU USE THE WILL TO SURRENDER TO JESUS, SO WHEN THOUGHTS OF JILL 38:05 OR CRACK OR HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR COME IN MIND, I THINK I'M GOING 38:11 TO PUT MY MIND ON JESUS. SO YOU PUT CHRIST AT THE POINT 38:15 OF THE ATTACK. YOU LEAD WITH CHRIST, NOT WITH 38:19 YOUR WILL. AS YOU SURRENDER TO 38:23 CHRIST -- THE SECRET HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO SURRENDER. 38:29 IT'S USING THAT -- WELL, YOU WILL FIGHT AGAINST EVIL, BUT IF 38:37 YOU START TRYING TO FIGHT AGAINST EVIL, YOU ARE NOT GOING 38:40 TO HAVE SUCCESS. BUT THE SECRET IS SURRENDERING 38:45 TO JESUS. THAT CHRIST FIGHT FOR YOU, AND 38:50 WITH YOU SOMETIMES -- THE ONE ABOUT DELIVERANCE FROM SIN IS 39:01 THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION YOU CAN ASK. 39:04 BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT CAN KEEP YOU OUT OF THE 39:09 KINGDOM. SIN IS GOING TO KEEP YOU OUT OF 39:12 THE KINGDOM, SO BEAR WITH ME ONE MORE MOMENT. 39:16 BECAUSE I WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE -- EVERY ONE OF US STRUGGLES 39:21 WITH SOMETHING. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 39:22 >> AND I SO APPRECIATE THE WAY YOU USED THE WORD WILL. 39:27 YOU HAVE TO SAY, LORD NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR WILL. 39:32 >> WEL SAID. >> I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE 39:35 TEXT HERE IN ROMANS 8. THIS IS MINISTRY OF HEALING, 39:45 PAGE 176. AND YOU CAN GET THIS THROUGH THE 39:50 CALL CENTER. THIS IS THE GOVERNING POWER IN 39:53 THE NATURE OF MAN. >> YES. 39:55 >> THE POWER OF DECISION OF CHOICE. 39:59 EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON THE RIGHT ACTION OF THE WILL. 40:02 >> UH-HUH. >> DESIRE FOR GOODNESS AND 40:06 PURITY ARE RIGHT AS FAR AS THEY GO, BUT IF WE STOP HERE, THEY 40:12 AVAIL NOTHING. MANY WILL GO DOWN TO RUIN, WHILE 40:15 HOPING AND DESIRING TO OVERCOME THEIR EVIL PROPENSITIES. 40:22 THEY DO NOT YIELD THE WILL TO GOD. 40:29 >> PRECISELY. >> THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION TO 40:33 THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, THEY ARE IN -- WHO WALKED NOT 40:40 ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT. 40:45 >> AND CHRIST WAS TEMPTED -- >> WE'RE TALKING OURSELVES INTO 40:48 ANOTHER PROGRAM. >> YEAH, WE ARE. 40:52 >> SIN HAS SO MANY MANIFESTATIONS. 40:57 IT CAN COME AT YOU IN SO MANY POSITIONS. 41:02 I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO NOW HAS A FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS DRESSING 41:07 THEIR SON IN FEMALE CLOTHING, AND THEY ARE SAYING WHEN HE GETS 41:20 OLD ENOUGH, HE CAN MAKE UP WHICH WAY HE WANTS TO GO. 41:24 WELL, YOU ARE MAKING UP HIS MIND FOR HIM. 41:27 BUT THAT'S THE MIN THAT DOESN'T HAVE GOD IN IT. 41:31 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BUT MORE THAN THAT, WHY WOULD 41:34 YOU -- WHY WOULD YOU CONFUSE THAT CHILD. 41:36 >> WOW. >> THAT -- THAT -- THAT WAY. 41:39 BUT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE -- AGAIN, YOUR OPINION. 41:43 YOU LISTEN TO DOCTOR WHOEVER. >> YES. 41:46 >> AND NEGATE THE WORD OF GOD. YOUR STRENGTH IS IN GETTING 41:51 COUNCIL FROM SOMEBODY -- AND YOU SAID GOD DOESN'T IMMENEED TO BE 41:59 TAUGHT. HE KNOWS. 42:04 A QUICK TEXT PASTOR. I CAN FEEL YOU ITCHING. 42:11 EPHESIANS CHAPTER 4, THIS I -- [ INAUDIBLE ] I GET SO 42:15 EXCITED I GET TONGUE TIED. >> THAT'S OKAY. 42:19 [ LAUGHTER ] >> EPHESIANS 4. 42:23 >> VERSE 17, I TESTIFY IN THE LORD THAT YOU SHOULD NO LONGER 42:27 WALK AS THE REST OF THE GENTILES WALK IN THE FUTILITY OF THEIR 42:32 MIND. YOU ARE TRYING T ANSWER -- YOU 42:34 ARE TRYING TO DRIVE YOUR OWN BUS. 42:36 AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT. YOU HAVE GOT TO -- YOU HAVE GOT 42:40 TO LET CHRIST GET IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND NO BACK SEAT 42:44 DRIVING. YOU CAN'T TELL HIM WHEN TO TURN 42:47 LEFT OR RIGHT OR SLOW DOWN. ONE MORE TEXT AND I'M DONE. 42:56 BEING ALEE INAT ITTED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD BECAUSE OF THE 43:01 IGNORANCE THAT IS IN THEM. BECAUSE OF THE BLINDNESS OF 43:04 THEIR HEARTS, WHICH IS WHY THE WORD OF GOD IS SO IMPORTANT, 43:10 BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU LIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING. 43:12 IF NOT YOU ARE GOING ON THE FUELS OF YOUR OWN LIFE. 43:15 EVERYBODY IS GOING TO HIT A WALL, WHEN YOUR LITTLE BRAIN IS 43:18 NOT ENOUGH TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AND LEAD YOUR OWN LIFE. 43:22 YOU HAVE TO SURRENDER THAT TO THE LORD. 43:25 >> PASTOR KENNY, I SEE YOUR FINGER IN MULTIPLE PLACES IN THE 43:30 BIBLE. >> YEAH. 43:31 >> GO FOR IT. [ LAUGHTER ] 43:34 >> WE'RE GETTING PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT GETTING THEIR BIBLES OUT 43:37 AND THUMBING THROUGH. BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT GOD HAS 43:41 SAID. HE IS GOING TO HOLD US 43:44 RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. SO WE CAN MAKE EXCUSES AND SAY 43:48 BECAUSE OF AND ALL OF THIS, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE. 43:54 EPHESIANS 5 BECAMES VERY PLAIN. WHY DON'T WE READ EPHESIANS 44:01 CHAPTER 5, BEGINNING WITH VERSE 1, BE THEREFORE FOLLOWERS OF 44:10 GOD. GIVEN AN OFFERING, NOTICE, A 44:12 SACRIFICE TO GOD FOR A SWEET-SMELLING SAVIOR. 44:17 BUT FORNICATION, UNCLEANLINESS, LET IT NOT ONCE BE NAMED AMONG 44:23 YOU AS BECOME A SAINT. SO IT HAS BECOME PRETTY CLEAR. 44:30 NEAR FILTHINESS NOR FOOLISH TALKING, BUT RATHER GIVING OF 44:36 THANKS YOU HAVE KNOW NOER WHO MONGER, FOR ANY IDOL TER HAVE 44:44 ANY INHERITANCE IN THE KING T TOM -- KINGDOM OF GOD. 44:52 BY GOD'S GRACE IT IS PLAIN BY EVERYONE HERE, VICTORY CAN BE 44:58 GIVEN TO EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SITUATION OR HOW FAR YOU 45:02 WENT DOWN, GOD IS ABLE TO GO DOWN, GET YOU, AND PULL YOU BACK-UP. 45:07 >> AND THAT'S KEY. IT'S GOD, NOT US. 45:11 >> IF WE CONTINUE TO DO WHAT THE BIBLE HAS SAID NOT TO DO, WE'RE 45:19 NOT GOING TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 45:24 SO THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT VERY 45:28 CAREFULLY. THERE IS A WAY OUT. 45:30 GOD IS ALWAYS THAT WAY OUT. WE HAVE TO BE CONVICTED, 45:34 CONVERTED, CHANGE OF HEART, CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE, ALL OF THIS 45:37 HAS TO DO WITH THE CONVERTED WILL. 45:41 >> AMEN. >> THE WILL MUST BE CONVERTED. 45:44 I TRY TO TWO THAT ON A BASIS -- AND VERY FEW PEOPLE I 45:48 FOUND PRAY THIS. I SAY LORD I GIVE YOU MY WILL. 45:52 I AM NOT ABLE. >> WELL SAID. 45:54 >> I'M NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT. BECAUSE EVERY CHOICE I MAKE 45:58 WOULD BE WRONG WITHOUT YOU. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 46:00 >> HELP ME TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE AND DECISION. 46:05 DON'T LET ME MAKE A ONE, BECAUSE I'LL MESS IT UP. 46:09 THAT MAYBE SHOULD BE SOMETHING I PRAY FOR. 46:12 >> YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT. I THINK ALL OF US SHOULD. 46:15 >> WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER TEMPTATION IS NOT SIN. 46:18 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> COME ON NOW. 46:21 >> JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE TEMPTED, YOU HAVEN'T SINNED YET. 46:25 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> ELLEN WHITE MAKES THE 46:29 STATEMENT THAT EVERY MORNING WE OUGHT TO AUDIBLY SAY TO THE 46:34 LORD, GIVE ME A HOLY SPIRIT. >> AMEN. 46:36 >> AND TAKE IT ON DAY AT A TIME. 46:49 I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE FROM NOW UNTIL THANKSGIVING. 46:54 I'M NOT GOING TO DRINK NOW. I'M NOT GOING TO DRINK FOR THE 46:58 NEXT FEW MINUTES. BUT DON'T PUT YOURSELF UNDER THE 47:01 KIND OF BURDENS THAT YOU CANNOT MASTER. 47:05 YOU GO TO CHURCH AND YOU COME OUT, I WILL NEVER EVER SIN 47:09 AGAIN. [ LAUGHTER ] 47:09 >> AND WHEN YOU SAY IT, YOU MEAN IT. 47:12 AND YOU CAN'T KEEP THAT. YOU CAN'T. 47:14 BECAUSE THE MOMENT YOU SAY, I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS.-SATAN SAYS, I HAVE DECIDED YOU 47:20 ARE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW JESUS. AND NOW THE WAR BEGINS. 47:25 >> AMEN. WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS IS 47:29 ENCOURAGING TO YOU AT HOME, WHETHER YOU ARE ACTUALLY 47:35 WALLOWING IN THAT SIN, OR MAKING CHOICES WHEREVER YOU ARE, IT 47:39 DOESN'T MATTER, JESUS SAYS I CAN FORGIVE YOU. 47:43 HE CAN FORGIVE US AND CLEANSE US FROM UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 47:53 LET HIM LIVE HIS LIFE IN YOU, AND HE WILL PERFECT THAT, WHICH 47:58 YOU HAVE COMMITTED TO HIM. >> AMEN. 48:00 >> YEAH, THANK YOU, WHAT WAS THE LADY'S NAME. 48:04 >> BECKY. >> BECKY. 48:06 THANK YOU. WE ONLY HAVE NINE MINUTES LEFT 48:08 IN THIS FIRST HOUR. BUT THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH. 48:12 >> UH-HUH. >> AND I HAVE TO -- BOY, WE 48:16 SHOULD HAV STARTED THIS HOUR WITH PRAYER. 48:18 WE STARTED IT BEFORE WE WENT LIFE -- 48:20 >> YES. >> BUT LET'S PRAY OBVIOUSLY FOR 48:25 GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT TO BE POURED OUT TO THOSE VIEWING TO ALL OF 48:28 US HERE ON THE SET, BUT ALSO THIS LIFE AND DEATH PROPERTY, 48:33 BECAUSE ALL OF US STRUGGLE WITH SOMETHING. 48:36 LET'S PRAY NOW, BUT IT'S EXCITING, ISN'T IT? 48:39 >> AMEN. >> PASTOR JOHN? 48:41 >> LOVING FATHER IN HEAVEN WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. 48:46 WE ARE FINITE IN SO MANY WAYS. WE ARE FRAIL AND FAULTY. 48:51 WE SEEK TO DO YOUR WILL, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO PERFORM 48:55 IT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 48:56 >> UH-HUH. >> SO LORD JESUS COME INTO OUR 49:01 HEARTS AND LIVES, AND CONTINUE THE WORK THAT YOU BEGAN. 49:04 FOR THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING AND LISTENING TO THIS PROGRAM, RIGHT 49:08 NOW SOMEBODY MIGHT BE STRUGGLING AND ASKING FOR DELIVERANCE ON A 49:14 PARTICULAR THING THAT SEEMS TO HAVE THEM INCARCERATED OR 49:20 CHAINS. IN THEIR MINDS THEY ARE 49:23 ENSLAVED. LORD JESUS, YOU SAID THE SON 49:26 THEREFORE MAKES YOU FREE, YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED. 49:32 SEN YOUR HOLY SPIRIT LORD NOT JUST TO CONVICT THEM, BUT TO 49:38 EMPOWER THEM. SAY FATHER I YIELD MY CHOICES 49:41 AND LIFE TO YOU. COME IN AND WORK IN ME BOTH TO 49:45 WILL AND TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOOD PLEASURE. 49:48 BRING FREEDOM TO THOSE WHO ARE BOUNDED. 49:50 THIS IS YOUR MISSION TO CLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTURED. 49:54 MAY THOSE WHO ARE CAPTURED TODAY, OR CAPTIVATED BY SIN, 49:58 FIND FREEDOM IN CHRIST, AND LORD AS WE LIVE EACH DAY, HELP US TO 50:06 SUBMIT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND EVERY MOMENT OF THE 50:09 DAY, SUBMIT TO CHOICES THAT END UP WITH CHRIST BEING GLORIFIED. 50:15 WE ASK THIS IN JESUS, WE PRAY. AMEN. 50:18 >> AMEN. >> THIS TOPIC IS AN EXHAUSTIVE 50:22 ONE. >> IT IS. 50:23 >> ROMANS 1, THEY DIDN'T LIKE -- BIBLE -- THE BIBLE 50:27 OUTLINES THE SINS OF THE [ INAUDIBLE ] HE SAYS THEY 50:30 DIDN'T LIKE TO RETAIN GOD AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE. 50:33 ALTHOUGH THEY KNEW GOD, THEY WOULDN'T GLORIFY HIM AS GOD. 50:37 SO LET'S GO ON. >> SO IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES 50:41 HERE OF THE FIRST HOUR -- >> WE HAVE A SECOND HOUR. 50:43 >> WE DO. PRAISE THE LORD. 50:45 WE'RE DOING GOOD. [ LAUGHTER ] 50:47 >> WE'RE SECURING ANOTHER PROGRAM. 50:50 >> TWO, THREE, OR FOUR. SO THIS COMES FROM ITALIA, AND 50:56 THEY ASK, PLEASE HELP ME OUT ON THIS ONE, IF GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY 51:00 ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES, AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH 51:06 NEITHER SORROW, NOR CRYING, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANYMORE 51:10 PAIN, FOR THE NORM -- FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY, WHY 51:17 SHOULD WE NEED THE LEAVES OF THE TREE FOR HEALING IN THE MIDST OF 51:21 THE TREE OF IT, WAS THE TREE OF LIFE, WHICH YIELDED FRUIT EVERY 51:28 MONTH, AND THE LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE 51:32 NATIONS. WHY WOULD WE NEED THE LEAVES OF 51:34 THE TREE FOR HEALING IN HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH. 51:37 >> I LOVE THAT ONE. CAN I START? 51:40 >> SURE. >> THE TEXT -- YOU ALREADY CITED 51:43 THE TEXT. BUT FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A 51:46 COMPARISON BETWEEN WHAT HAPPENED IN EDEN AS COMPARED TO WHAT IS 51:50 GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEW VE VERSE -- JERUSALEM. 51:56 I LIKE TO LOOK AT EDEN LOST TO EDEN RESTORED. 52:01 ADAM AND EVE WERE DENIED ACCESS TO THAT TREE AFTER THEY CHOSE TO 52:05 SIN. SO THEY COULDN'T BE HEALED. 52:08 THEY COULD NOT BE HEALED. SO THE LORD SAYS I'LL HEAL YOU, 52:15 AND GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THE TREE. IT'S ANALOGY TO WHAT ADAM LOST 52:24 ACCESS TO. THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR THERE 52:28 TO BE CONTINUED HEALING. BUT THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS, 52:32 IN THIS EARTH, WHAT HAPPENED AT THE TOWER OF BABEL, THE NATIONS 52:41 WERE DIVIDED. AND THE POINT OF UNITY WOULD BE 52:47 THE TREE OF LIFE. THE TREE WOULDN'T GIVE US LIFE. 52:50 BUT THE TREE IS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THE GIFT OF LIFE 52:55 THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AS A BLESSING FROM THE LORD. 53:00 SO DIVISION HERE, UNITY THERE. WE DON'T NEED THE LEAVES TO BE 53:05 HEALED. THE SON IS THE ONE THAT HEALS 53:07 US, BUT IT'S JUST SIMPLY A SYMBOL OF WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED 53:12 IN CHRIST. THE DIVISION HERE, THE UNITY 53:14 HERE. NO ACCESS TO THE TREE HERE. 53:17 ACCESS TO THE TREE THERE. >> PASTOR KENNY. 53:21 >> WELL, LIKE HE MENTIONED IN THE GARDEN OF LIFE, THERE WAS 53:24 THE TREE OF LIFE. IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN BEFORE 53:29 SIN, THEY STILL HAD TO BE' BEADANT. 53:35 SO CERTAINLY IN HEAVEN THERE IS GOING TO BE A TREE IN LIFE. 53:42 SOME PEOPLE ARGUE THERE IS NO NEED FOR A TREE OF LIFE UP 53:47 THERE. THE LEAVES WERE FOR THE P 53:59 PREVENTION. HE HAS GIVEN IT TO US THAT WE 54:01 MAY READ AND FIND, WHAT? ETERNAL LIFE. 54:06 SO I'M THANKFUL THAT GOD HAS THIS. 54:09 AND IT IS HERE FOR US TODAY. AND IT IS THE ANTIDOTE OF DEATH. 54:14 >> YES, WHAT THIS IS REFERRING TO, IT'S NOT CATCHING THE COMMON 54:19 COLD OR SOMETHING -- >> NO. 54:22 >> -- HEALING AS WE MIGHT THINK OF HEALING HERE. 54:26 >> CAN YOU IMAGINE, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO THAT TREE. 54:30 THIS LINE IS LONG? [ LAUGHTER ] 54:33 >> BUT MALACHI 4:2 SAYS HEALING WITHIN HIS WINGS -- 54:43 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> RIGHT NOW WE'RE SEPARATED BY 54:46 CAST, BY FINANCES, BY SOCIETAL NORMS. 54:51 BUT THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATION THERE. 54:54 FINALLY THE PRAYER OF JESUS WILL BE A REALITY. 54:58 >> AMEN. >> ISAIAH 3 OR 55:03 4 -- [ INAUDIBLE ] A DISSERVICE. >> RIGHT. 55:05 >> IT'S NOT -- BECAUSE THERE IS SOME ASPECT OF THAT TOO, BUT 55:09 IT'S NOT JUST YOUR PHYSICAL HEALING WHEN CHRIST COMES INTO 55:13 YOUR LIFE YOUR WORLD IS HEALED, YOUR SEPARATION IS HEALED, YOUR 55:17 MIND IS HEALED. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 55:19 SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST -- OKAY, I KNOW THAT LORD IS GOING TO 55:24 TAKE CARE OF THIS BROKEN LEG, BECAUSE HE HAD HEALED MY 55:30 DEFEATED. NO, HE IS HEALING EVERYTHING. 55:31 HE IS HEALING YOUR SEPARATION, HE IS HEALING YOUR SIN PROBLEM. 55:36 SO BY HIS STRIPES, BY THE BLOOD HE SHED FOR YOU, YOUR WHOLE LIFE 55:40 IS MADE NEW. THERE IS A WHOLENESS THAT IS 55:45 BROUGHT TO YOUR LIFE THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. 55:46 IF YOU JUST LIMIT IT TO PHYSICAL HEARING, YOU ARE DOING THE TEXT 55:52 OF DISSERVICE BECAUSE ALL OF THAT FOLLOWS THAT CATEGORY. 55:57 >> SHALL I RAPID FIRE ONE IN THE LAST MINUTE-40. 56:03 DO REALLY POOR PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE TITHE AND OFFERINGS? 56:08 >> AMEN. AND AMEN. 56:10 THE POORER YOU ARE, THE MORE YOU NEED TO GIE TITHE AND 56:14 OFFERINGS. >> AND WHY IS THAT? 56:16 >> GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU. 56:20 >> THANK YOU, MY PASTOR. >> GOOD MEASURE, PRESS DOWN, 56:26 SHAKEN TOGETHER AND RUNETH OVER. IF YOU GAVE SOMEBODY A TEASPOON 56:31 OF SALT, THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET. 56:34 IF YOU MEASURE IT SHALL BE MEASURED TO YOU AGAIN. 56:38 SO DON'T GIVE GRUDGINGLY, NOR OUT OF NECESSITY. 56:44 GOD LOVES THE GIVER. >> PROVE ME TEST ME TRY ME. 56:56 WHEN YOU GIVE GOD WHAT HE CLAIMS, ONE YOU ARE NOT STEALING 57:00 FROM HIM, BUT TWO YOU OPEN THE DOOR FOR BLESSINGS. 57:04 A CLOSED FIST CAN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING. 57:07 SO THE POORER YOU ARE, THE MORE YOU NEED TO GIVE TO GOD, BECAUSE 57:12 GOD HAS PROMISED YOU GIVE, I'LL GIVE BACK. 57:15 >> AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, TRY IT OUT. 57:18 >> IF YOU WANT THINGS TO CHANGE DO WHAT GOD HAS SAID IN HIS 57:24 WORD. THANKS WILL CHANGE. 57:27 TRY GOD'S WAY. BLESSINGS WILL COME. 57:30 >> AMEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH THE END OF 57:33 THIS HOUR HAS COME VERY QUICKLY. WE'RE GOING TO TRADE OUT SEATS 57:39 WITH PASTOR KENNY WITH SHELLEY QUINN FOR THE NEXT HOUR. 57:43 THANK YOU, PASTOR KENNY. WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A COUPLE 57:47 OF MOMENTS WITH MORE OF YOUR BIBLE QUESTIONS. 57:50 SO DON'T GO AWAY. ♪ |
