00:10 >>> HELLO, AND WELCOME BAK TO 3ABN LIVE, BIBLE QUESTIONS AND
00:16 ANSWERS, AND IF YOU MISSED THE FIRST HOUR -- OH, CAN I SAY 00:20 SHAME ON YOU? [ LAUGHTER ] 00:22 >> BLESS YOUR HEART. >> BLESS YOUR HEART. 00:24 >> GET THE TAPE AND WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE. 00:27 >> THAT'S RIGHT. BUT IT FLEW BY. 00:29 IT'S ALWAYS ENCOURAGING, AND JUST A BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO 00:32 OPEN GOD'S WORD. WE'RE FOLLOWING UP ON QUESTIONS. 00:38 I THINK WE GOT TO THREE OR FOUR -- 00:40 >> THREE. >> SOMETIMES WHEN THESE 00:42 QUESTIONS ARE ASKED, YOU JUST CAN'T ANSWER THEM IN TWO OR 00:46 THREE MINUTES. SO I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT 00:49 EVERYONE TOOK, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST QUESTION TO REALLY OPEN 00:54 GOD'S WORD AND GIVE US HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT. 00:58 SO PLEASE FORGIVE US, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET TO MORE 01:02 QUESTIONS THE SECOND HOUR. BUT WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE THAT IS 01:05 JOINING US ON OUR SET. >> WE HAVE. 01:07 WE TRADED OUT PASTOR KENNY WITH SISTER SHELLEY QUINN. 01:12 SHELLEY IT IS A JOY AN PRIVILEGE TO HAVE YOU HERE.-YOU ARE A SPEAKER AND ALSO A 01:18 WOMAN OF GOD AND A WOMAN OF THE WORLD, AND AS WE DO THESE BIBLE 01:22 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE YOU HERE, ALONG 01:27 WITH PASTOR JOHN LOMACANG AND PASTOR CA MURRAY. 01:31 >> AND SHELLEY JUST GOT BACK FROM SOME EVANGELISM AS WELL. 01:37 >> AMEN. >> IT'S A BLESSING ISN'T IT? 01:40 >> OH, IT'S MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. 01:44 I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CROAKY CHOICE. 01:48 THIS BEAUTIFUL CHURCH LOVED ME SO MUCH, THEY SHARED WHAT THEY 01:51 HAD. [ LAUGHTER ] 01:51 >> SO A LITTLE VIRAL INFECTION GOING ON. 01:54 >> THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR JOINING US. 01:57 SHOULD WE START OFF WITH QUESTIONS? 02:00 >> LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN TO SOME QUESTIONS. 02:03 THIS ONE IS ON PRAYER. THIS IS FROM SHERMILLIA, I 02:12 BELIEVE. HOW DO I PRAY? 02:15 DO I PRAY ONCE FOR SOMETHING AND WAIT TO SEE WHAT GOD DOES, OR DO 02:20 I PRAY EVERY DAY UNTIL I GET IT? >> THE FIRST SCRIPTURE THAT 02:26 COMES TO MY MIND IS LUKE 11:9. KNOCK AND THE DOOR WILL BE 02:32 OPENED TO YOU. AND THESE ARE LINEAR VERBS, THEY 02:38 ARE IMPERFECT TENSE. THE BETTER TRANSLATION IS JESUS 02:45 SAID ASK AND KEEP ON ASKING, KNOCK AND KEEP ON KNOCKING AND 02:49 IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. AND I KNOW YOU ALSO THINK OF 02:53 LUKE -- WHAT IS IT -- 18 ABOUT THE PERSISTENT INDIVIDUAL WIDOW. 03:01 SO THERE JESUS IS GIVING THE EXAMPLE. 03:04 I BELIEVE IT'S WONDERFUL TO KEEP ON PRAYING UNTIL YOU RECEIVE IT 03:08 OR UNTIL YOU HAVE THE ANSWER. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN THAT YOU 03:12 GET THE ANSWER THAT YOU WANT. BUT YOU KEEP PRAYING IT. 03:16 THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE FEEL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN AN ANSWER, 03:21 LIKE WHEN HE HEALED ME FROM THE VERTIGO, I KNEW THAT GOD WAS 03:25 HEALING ME. SO AFTER MONTHS OF PRAYING, IT 03:29 BECAME THEN I PRAYED, BUT IT WAS WITH THANKSGIVING THAT I WAS 03:33 THANKING HIM FOR THE HEALING. >> AMEN. 03:36 >> I HOPE THAT THAT'S NOT A CONVOLUTED ANSWER. 03:39 >> NO, GOOD ANSWER. >> AND FIRST THESSALONIANS 5:17 03:48 PRAY WITHOUT [ INAUDIBLE ]. PRAYER DOESN'T CHANGE GOD. 03:52 BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE HAS THOUGHTS ABOUT US. 03:54 THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND NOT OF EVIL TO GIVE US A FUTURE AND 03:57 HOPE. AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT THAT, 04:00 THAT -- A FEW WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE AND I AT THE RED LIFE THAT TEXT 04:05 CAME TO OUR MINDS, AND WE STARTED TO REPEAT IT TOGETHER. 04:09 AND IT WAS LIKE GOD WAS IN THE CAR WITH US. 04:12 AND TEARS CAME TO OUR EYES AND WE SAID, CAN YOU IMAGINE GOD HAS 04:18 THOUGHTS TOWARDS US. HE KNOWS OUR FUTURE. 04:26 EVEN IF WE PRAY ABOUT IT, HE IS NOT GOING TO GIVE US LESSER THAN 04:31 WHAT HE KNOWS IS BEST FOR US. SO YOU CAN PRAY ALL DAY LONG, 04:37 BUT IF YOU DON'T PRAY, HE SAYS ASK ACCORDING TO MY WILL -- AND 04:43 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS HE IS NOT WILLING FIRST OF ALL ANYBODY 04:49 PARISHES, AND HE WANTS US TO GIVE THANKS IN THE WILL OF GOD, 04:54 AND CHRIST JESUS, GIVE HIM THANKS NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. 04:57 BUT THEN BE COMFORTED IN THIS FACT, THAT WHEN YOU ASK GOD FOR 05:02 ANYTHING, HE NEVER GIVES YOU LESS THAN WHAT YOU ASK FOR. 05:07 HE ALWAYS ANSWERS IT BETTER THAN YOU PRAYED IT. 05:10 >> BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING. 05:14 >> WOULD A PARNT GIVE A CHILD LESS THAN WHAT WOULD BRING JOY 05:18 TO THEIR HEARTS? NO. 05:20 THEY GIVE THEM SOMETHING THAT WILL GIVE THEM EXUBERANCE. 05:24 BUT IT IS ALWAYS IN HARMONY WITH WHAT THE PARENT KNOWS BEST FOR 05:27 THE CHILD. >> AMEN. 05:29 >> YEAH. >> SUCCESS WITH GOD, THE PATTERN 05:34 SEEMS TO BE -- CONTINUE ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK AT JOHN 15, THE 05:39 ABIDE CHAPTER. THE IDEA ONE AND DONE IS 05:41 NOT -- IS NOT A SPIRITUAL THING. IT'S CONTINUAL WRESTLING WITH 05:48 GOD. AND OF COURSE WE ARE IN THIS 05:52 HAVE IT YOUR WAY BURGER KING KIND OF MENTALITY. 05:56 I TALKED ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY. ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH SO BE IT 06:00 UNTO YOU. IF A CHILD WANTS SOMETHING BAD, 06:05 THEY ARE ON YUR SKIRT, CAN I HAVE THIS, CAN I HAVE THIS, CAN 06:10 I HAVE? I SAW A WOMAN IN A STORE THAT 06:14 SAID DON'T LOOK AT NOTHING SO ASK FOR SOMETHING -- AND THAT 06:19 LASTED ABOUT TWO SECONDS. SO ASK AND KEEP ON ASKING, KNOCK 06:26 AND KEEP ON KNOCKING, SEEK AND KEEP ON SEEKING. 06:31 >> IT'S NOT LIKE GOD NEEDS TO BE REMINDED. 06:36 HE NEVER FORGETS. BUT REALLY IT'S FOR MORE US. 06:41 >> PRAYER AND PRAISE DOES NOT CHANGE GOD, BUT IT CHANGES US. 06:44 >> AMEN. >> I REMEMBER WHEN J.D. -- WE 06:48 WERE IN BIRMINGHAM, AND HE WAS SUFFERING FROM THE SEPTASEMIA, 07:03 AND THE DOCTOR KEPT COMING IN, SAYING HE COULD DIE AN MINUTE. 07:10 AND I WAS HAVING THESE GRASPY PRAYERS, BUT IT WAS WITHOUT 07:15 CEASING, AND WHEN I DID FINALLY -- ABOUT EIGHT DAYS INTO 07:20 IT. I REMEMBER I WENT BACK TO THE 07:22 ROOM ABOUT MIDNIGHT, AND JUST AS I EXPECTED THE DAM BROKE AND I 07:26 FELL TO PIECES, AND I'M SOBBING, BUT I HEARD MYSELF -- I HAD BEEN 07:33 PRAYING ALL ALONG, AND I HEARD J.D. TELL HIS BROTHER, IF IT'S 07:38 MY TIME TO GO, I'M READY, BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN CLOSER 07:42 TO THE LORD. AND AS I AM PRAYING TO GOD, 07:46 BEGGING FOR GOD TO SAVE J.D., ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR THESE 07:51 WORDS COME OUT OF MY MOUTH. LORD YOU KNOW THE END FROM THE 07:55 BEGINNING, IF YOU WERE TO RAISE HIM UP AND SEE THAT HE WOULD 08:00 WALK AWAY FROM YOU, THEN TAKE HIM NOW. 08:03 AND IT SHOCKED ME WHEN I SAID IT, BECAUSE I SO DESPERATELY 08:07 DIDN'T WANT GOD TO TAKE HIM. BUT I KNEW GOD HAS HIS ETERNAL 08:13 BENEFIT IN MIND. AND I'M FIRMLY CONVINCED THAT IT 08:16 WAS ALL OF THESE GASPY PRAYERS THAT GOT GOD BROUGHT ME AROUND 08:24 TO WHERE I COULD SEE IF I LET GOD BE GOD, I'M GOING TO BE VERY 08:28 HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. AND THAT GAVE ME PEACE. 08:32 >> IN MY OWN EXPERIENCE, PRAYER IS REALLY A FAITH WALK. 08:35 FAITH THAT HE IS HEARING AND LISTENING. 08:38 FAITH THAT HE IS GOING TO ANSWER IT THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. 08:41 SOMETIMES I'M ASKING FOR SOMETHING, AND I FEEL FREE TO 08:45 TELL GOD WHAT I WOULD LIKE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S TRUST. 08:49 FAITH AND TRUST, THE ANSWER PROVIDED, I HAVE TO TRUST THAT 08:52 GOD KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, AND I WOULD HAVE IT 08:57 NO OTHER WAY. AND ON THIS EARTH WE MAY NOT 09:02 KNOW ALL OF THE ANSWERS, BUT IN EVEN WE WILL KNOW. 09:06 >> HEBREWS 11:6. HE COMETH UNDER GOD MUST BELIEVE 09:11 HE IS, AND HE IS [ INAUDIBLE ] WHO SEEK HIM -- 09:16 >> DILIGENTLY. >> PRECISELY. 09:20 >> I ALWAYS SAY THAT THE SOURCE OF FAITH IS HEARING. 09:27 THE EXERCISE OF FAITH IS PRAYER. >> COME ON. 09:29 >> THAT'S PRAYER. >> I LIKE THAT. 09:31 >> AND -- AND THE GOAL OF FAITH IS GOD'S WILL. 09:35 >> AMEN. >> AND ROMANS 8:28 WE KNOW THAT 09:39 ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER. ROMANS 8:26 IS THE LEA IN TO 09:45 THAT. >> YES. 09:46 >> LIKEWISE THE SPIRIT ALSO HELPS IN OUR WEAKNESSES. 09:51 >> AMEN. >> FORWE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE 09:55 SHOULD PRAY FOR. [ LAUGHTER ] 09:57 >> I'M PRAYING FOR THAT, AND LORD SAYS NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT 10:02 YOU SHOULD PRAYER FOR. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD 10:06 PRAY FOR AS WE OUGHT, BUT THE SPIRIT ITSELF MAKES 10:11 INTERCESSIONS FOR US. NOW HE WHO SEARCHES THE HEART 10:18 KNOWS WHAT THE CONCESSION IS. YOU ARE PRAYING, HOPING IT IS 10:23 THE WILL OF GOD, BUT THE SPIRIT KNOWS, THE FATHER KNOWS, AND THE 10:28 SON KNOWS, THAT IS NOT MY WILL. SO THE SPIRIT TAKES IT AND SAYS 10:33 THIS IS WHAT SHELLEY IS PRAYING ABOUT, BUT ANSWER IT ACCORDING 10:37 TO YOUR WILL. EVEN WHEN YOU PRAYED ABOUT J.D. 10:40 IF THAT IS THE DESIRE, BUT REALLY DEEP INSIDE, PLEASE DON'T 10:44 TAKE HIM NOW. YOU ARE ACQUIESCING TO GOD. 10:49 YOU ARE GOD. I'LL ACCEPT WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE. 10:53 >> GOD ANSWERS ALL PRAYER. >> AMEN. 10:55 >> I AGREE. >> HE ANSWERS ALL PRAYER. 10:58 SOMETIMES THE ANSWER IS YES. SOMETIMES IT'S NO. 11:02 AND SOMETIMES IT'S LATER. BUT IF IT'S A SPIRITUAL REQUEST, 11:06 IT IS ALWAYS QUESTION. BUT, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, IF I 11:11 HAVE A 14-YEAR-OLD CHILD WHOSE GIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE ME. 11:15 I WANT A MOTORCYCLE MOMMA. I WANT A MOTORCYCLE. 11:20 I'M A GREAT PARENT AND I'M GOING TO SAY NO, YOU ARE TOO YOUNG FOR 11:25 A MOTORCYCLE. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. 11:27 SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE PRAY FOR THAT GOD RECOGNIZES 11:32 IT'S NOT FOR US. >> AND SOMETIMES YOR SPOUSE 11:35 RECOGNIZES IT AIN'T FOR YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] 11:38 >> YEARS AGO I HAD A MOTORCYCLE WHEN WE LIVED IN THE MOUNTAINS 11:41 OF CALIFORNIA. I WENT TO BUY A COMPUTER. 11:44 SHE SAID IT'S EITHER A COMPUTER OR YOUR MOTORCYCLE. 11:47 I SAID I THINK I CAN LIVE LONGER WITH A COMPUTER. 11:50 BUT THAT'S HOW GOD IS. AND ONE LAST THING. 11:53 PRAYER, THERE IS A PRAYER THAT GOD ALWAYS ANSWERS 11:57 IMMEDIATELY -- >> LORD SAVE ME. 11:58 >> LORD SAVE ME. >> AMEN. 12:01 >> THERE IS ONE PRAYER THAT WE KNOW GOD ANSWERS IMMEDIATELY. 12:06 THE CALL TO BE DELIVERED FROM SIN. 12:09 IT IS ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY. >> I KNOW YOU HAVE THE NEXT 12:14 QUESTION THERE -- >> NO, THIS IS GREAT. 12:16 >> PRAYER WITH SURRENDER. NOT MY WILL BUT YOUR WILL BE 12:21 DONE. AS WE SEE JESUS GOING TO THE 12:23 CROSS. GO AHEAD. 12:24 >> THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION HERE. THIS IS FROM A YOUNG PERSON. 12:30 SHE SAYS I'M FROM FLORIDA, AND I HAVE A QUESTION THAT HAS BEEN ON 12:34 MY MIND FOR QUITE SOMETIME. AS A YOUNG ADULT, I FEEL 12:42 ISOLATED IN MY CHURCH, THAT THERE ARE NOT MANY YOUNG PEOPLE 12:46 AROUND MY AGE, AND THE CHURCH IS MOSTLY OF ONE NATIONALITY. 12:50 I DO FEEL I WANT TO TRANSFER TO ANOTHER CHURCH. 12:55 FROM A BIBLICAL STANDPOINT, WHAT SHOULD BE THE BEST SOLUTION I 13:00 SHOULD DO AS A YOUNG PERSON? SHE SAYS THANK YOU FOR THE 13:03 MINISTRY OF 3ABN. DO WE HAVE ANY ADVICE FROM THIS 13:09 YOUNG WOMAN AS TO WHAT SHE SHOULD DO. 13:11 >> I CAN'T THINK OF A SCRIPTURE, BUT I KNOW WHAT I WOULD TELL 13:18 HER. ABSOLUTELY GO TO WHERE YOU CAN -BE A PART OF THE WORD. 13:23 GO WHERE -- OF COURSE THE REASON WE GO TO CHURCH IS TO WORSHIP 13:28 GODS, BUT IT IS ALSO ABOUT FELLOWSHIP AND FINDING A PLACE 13:33 WHERE YOU CAN EMPLOYEE YOUR TALENTS, SO I WOULD TELL HER 13:38 CERTAINLY TO SEEK OUT A CHURCH WHERE SHE IS GOING TO FEEL THAT 13:42 SHE CAN BEST SERVE THE LORD. CAN YOU THINK OF A SCRIPTURE? 13:45 >> I CAN'T. I AGREE WITH SHELLEY 13:49 WHOLEHEARTEDLY, AND YET I DISAGREE WITH SHELLEY. 13:53 >> THAT'S A POLITE WAY OF SAYING THAT. 13:57 >> NO, I DO. I THINK YOU SHOULD -- CHURCHES 14:02 HAVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS AND WORSHIP STYLES. 14:05 AND I THINK YOU SHOULD GO WHERE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE. 14:09 BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN BEFORE YOU JUMP AND RUN, SEE IF THE LORD 14:14 HAS YOU IN THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION BECAUSE HE IS TRYING 14:17 TO DO SOMETHING. MAYBE SHE HAS SOMETHING THAT 14:19 THAT CHURCH NEEDS, AND BEFORE YOU TRY TO EXTRICATE YOURSELF, 14:23 MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OF THE POSSIBILITIES FOR BEING A 14:28 BENEFIT TO THAT CONGREGATION. THAT'S WHY I SAY I DO AGREE, BUT 14:33 WE CAN QUICK TO KIND OF JUMP AND RUN. 14:35 WELL, I'M NOT FEELING IT HERE, SO LET ME GO OVER HERE. 14:40 AND PASTOR JOHN KNOWS IN NEW YORK CITY WHERE YOU HAVE 60 14:44 OR 70 CHURCHES, WE HAVE PROFESSIONAL CHURCH HOPPERS. 14:53 >> THERE ARE 52 SABBATHS IN A YEAR, SO IT WOULD TAKE YOU A 14:58 YEAR -- >> OH, YEAH. 15:00 BUT THEN YOU ARE NEVER A BENEFIT TO THE LOCAL CONGREGATION. 15:03 AND IN HELPING THEM YOU ALSO HELP OURSELVES. 15:09 SO I DO AGREE, BUT THERE IS THIS BALANCING OF DON'T BE TOO QUICK 15:14 TO RUN AWAY. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT, BECAUSE 15:18 WHAT GOD HAS CALLED TRISTAN TO BE THAT PERSON IN THAT CHURCH TO 15:23 MAKE A DIFFERENCE. >> AND I AGREE WITH THAT IN 15:27 ALMOST ALL CASES, BUT IN TRI TRISTAN'S CASES, I DO FEEL THAT 15:35 THE FELLOWSHIP ASPECT -- >> I AGREE. 15:39 FOR A YOUNG PERSON YOU DO WANT TO GET IN THERE WITH SOME YOUNG 15:42 PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE YOU DO. BUT YOU HAVE GOT TO KIND OF 15:46 FOLLOW YOUR WAY THROUGH. >> I REMEMBER A YOUNG MAN WHO 15:49 CAME TO 3ABN. HE SAID HE WAS A FAIRLY NEW 15:53 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN, AND IN HIS CHURCH HE JUST FELT 15:56 LIKE NO ONE IS DOING OUTREACH OR GETTING INVOLVED, SO HE STARTED 16:01 A MINISTRY. YOUNG PEOPLE GETTING INVOLVED IN 16:04 OUTREACH, SO I THINK THAT'S POWERFUL TOO. 16:08 PASTOR JOHN? >> COUPLE OF BIBLE VERSES PSALM 16:18 37:23. WHEN YOU DELIGHT IN THE WORD OF 16:21 THE LORD YOU CAN DO LIKE SAMUEL -PRAYED. SPEAK, LORD, FOR YOUR SERVANT 16:27 HEARS. AND THE OTHER ONE, DELIGHT 16:30 YOURSELF ALSO IN THE LORD, AND SHE SHALL GIVE THE DESIRES OF 16:34 THE HEART. YOU HAVE TO BEGIN BY DELIGHTING 16:36 YOURSELF IN THE LORD. I SAW A PICTURE OF A TREE 16:40 STANDING ON A HILL ALL BY ITSELF. 16:43 AND IT'S OFTEN SAID THAT A TREE THAT STANDS BY ITSELF HAS DEEP 16:49 ROOTS. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET YOUR 16:54 ROOTS GO DOWN DEEP AND STAND. AND YOU WILL SURVIVE THE WINDS 16:59 OF CHALLENGE AND TRIAL. BUT SOMETIMES GOD SENDS YOU 17:03 SOMEWHERE. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO PHILIP. 17:06 PHILIP WAS SENT INTO THE FORREST TO DO AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES. 17:11 I'M SURE IF WE SAID TO SHELLEY, WE HAVE AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES 17:17 IN THE FORREST. ONE PERSON IS ATTENDING. 17:23 SHELLEY WOULD SAY, WHAT LORD? BUT IF YOU SAY SO I'LL GO. 17:29 AND IN MEXICO, ONE OF THOSE STRONG CATHOLIC COUNTRIES, WHERE 17:34 THEY WERE TOLD -- THEY HEARD THESE ADVENTISTS PEOPLE WERE 17:40 COMING TO DO AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES. 17:44 THE CHURCH WARNED THEM NOT TO GO. 17:47 NOT A SINGLE PERSON CAME. AFTER SEVEN OR EIGHT NIGHTS, 17:51 ATHEY ANNOUNCED TO THE CHAIRS, OUR MEETING WILL CEASE TOMORROW 17:58 NIGHT. AND THEY HEARD SOMEBODY FROM THE 18:00 TREE OUTSIDE SAY, DON'T STOP WE'RE OUT HERE. 18:04 WE'RE IN THE TREES LISTENING. AT THE END OF THE SERIES THEY 18:09 BAPTIZED OVER 40 PEOPLE. >> THAT GAVE ME CHILLS. 18:12 >> THEY WERE LISTENING OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH. 18:14 THEY DIDN'T WANT THE PEOPLE IN TOWN TO KNOW THEY WERE INSIDE. 18:18 BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THOSE TOWNS WHERE THE WINDOW WOULD 18:24 CLOSE. THEY WERE OUTSIDE HIDING BY THE 18:27 SIDE, IN THE TREES. LISTENING TO THE SERVICE. 18:31 AFTER 7 TO 11 NIGHTS, THEY ANNOUNCED THE SERIES WAS ENDING, 18:35 AND THE PEOPLE SAID NO, WE'RE HERE. 18:39 SO IF YOUR ROOTS ARE DEEP, YOU CAN ABIDE. 18:43 DON'T JUST LOOK FOR -- SAY, LORD WHY DO YOU HAVE ME HERE? 18:47 WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME HERE? AND IF YOU SAY LORD SPEAK FOR 18:51 YOUR SERVANT, HE WILL EITHER SAY YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU CHOSE 18:55 TO BE HERE, OR I HAVE A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE. 19:00 >> YEAH, THOSE ARE THE THREE POSITIONS. 19:03 >> YES, AND EACH ARE RIGHT. >> BUT MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU JUMP 19:07 AND GO. >> RIGHT. 19:09 >> AS YOU WELL SAID, START A MINISTRY. 19:12 ONE OF MY FIRST THREE OR FOUR CHURCHES I STARTED MY OWN CHOIR. 19:18 BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE WERE ON THE FRINGE, AND WHEN IT WAS JOHN'S 19:26 PASTOR, IT WAS BIBLE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 19:29 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU HAVE GOT TO BE IN THE 19:31 BUILDING. SO SOMETIMES THE KEY MAYBE YOU 19:34 STARTING A MINISTRY. THAT'S HOW 3ABN GOT STARTED. 19:39 DANNY SAID WHERE ARE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS ON TV? 19:43 AND GOD SAID DUH. >> WE HAVE A SCHOOL BECAUSE 19:47 SOMEBODY GAVE A DOLLAR. >> AMEN. 19:50 >> SO KRISTEN WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU. 19:52 >> AMEN. >> THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU WISDOM 19:56 AND DISCERNMENT ON WHICH DIRECTION HE WANTS YOU TO GO. 19:59 >> SHELLEY CAN YOU DO A QUICK -- >> YEAH, LET'S DO THAT. 20:03 >> HEAVENLY FATHER WE COME IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND LORD 20:09 THANK YOU FOR KRISTEN'S THANKFULNESS, AND WE DON'T WANT 20:12 HER TO BE DISCOURAGED, SO WE ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, FATHER 20:17 THAT YOU WOULD HELP HER TO SEEK YOU IN A WAY THAT SHE HAS NEVER 20:22 SOUGHT YOU BEFORE, AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL MAKE CLEAR HER 20:29 WAY. AND MAKE A PATH FOR HER TO 20:31 BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN YOU. WHETHER IT'S THIS CHURCH OR 20:34 ANOTHER CHURCH, BUT I ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS THAT YOU WILL 20:38 INCREASE HER COURAGE, INCREASE HER FAITH, DO NOT LET HER BECOME 20:45 DISCOURAGED, WE ALSO WANT TO PRAY FOR THE OLDER PEOPLE WHO 20:48 ARE AROUND HERE, FATHER IN THIS CHURCH, THAT THEY WILL RECOGNIZE 20:52 THIS PRECIOUS JEWEL NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT, AND THAT FATHER, 20:59 THEY WILL INVOLVE HERE IN EVERY WAY. 21:02 IN JESUS NAME WE ASK, AND THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWER TO OUR 21:06 PRAYERS. >> AMEN. 21:07 >> AMEN. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. 21:09 >> THANK YOU. >> YOUNG PEOPLE THAT WANT TO 21:11 GIVE THEIR LIVES TO THE LORD NEED PRAYER. 21:14 >> THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. 21:15 AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT THE MINISTRY OF 3ABN, BECAUSE WE ARE 21:19 A PRAYING MINISTRY. >> AMEN. 21:22 >> YOU SEE PEOPLE WALKING THE HALLS PRAYING WITH AND FOR EACH 21:26 OTHER. AND WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU. 21:29 3ABN IS -- WE'RE NOT JUST SITTING HERE IN THESE CHAIRS, 21:32 BUT WE ARE -- YOU ARE PART OF THE MINISTRY HERE. 21:35 WE ARE PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD, AND YOU ARE PART OF OUR 21:39 FAMILY. SO OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM 21:41 MARK. HE SAYS I THANK GOD AND YOU ALL 21:44 FOR THIS WONDERFUL STATION. YOU HAVE BEEN A BLESS INDEED. 21:48 NOW HERE IS HIS QUESTION. WHEN CHRIST PLACED HIS HANDS ON 21:51 THE BLIND MAN TO RESTORE HIS SIGHT. 21:54 HE MAN INITIALLY SAID HE SAW MEN AS TREES WALKING. 21:58 THEN CHRIST PLACED HIS HANDS ON THE MAN AGAIN, AND HIS SIGHT WAS 22:09 RESTORED. CHRIS OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT MAKE 22:12 MISTAKES OR DO THINGS HALFWAY, SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE 22:15 MEANING HERE. >> OKAY. 22:19 GO AHEAD PASTOR CA. >> JOHN 9:7. 22:23 JOHN 9:7 IS THE ONE I'M REFERRING TO. 22:27 AS YOU GO TO THE OTHER ONE -- >> WHILE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR 22:32 THAT -- >> SURE. 22:33 I'LL GIVE YOU A SHOT FIRST. >> GO AHEAD, SHELLEY. 22:36 >> ALL RIGHT. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY 22:38 THAT -- I THINK THAT JESUS GAVE IT TO US AS AN EXAMPLE HE 22:43 DOESN'T ALWAYS DO EVERYTHING IN THE SAME WAY. 22:46 SOMETIMES PEOPLE WERE INSTANTANEOUSLY HEALED. 22:49 SOMETIMES IT WAS A PROCESS OF HEALING. 22:52 SO PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WITHIN THAT 22:58 MAN THAT STILL NEEDED -- HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS -- AS GOD TOUCHES 23:04 YOU, WE ALL RESPOND DIFFERENTLY WITH THE FIRST TOUCH OF THE 23:07 LORD. AND SO TO ME, THERE WAS 23:10 SOMETHING THAT HE WAS DEVELOPING A HOPE IN THIS MAN, OR HE WAS 23:17 DEVELOPING SOMETHING, AND IT ISN'T THAT JESUS WASN'T -- 23:20 >> YEAH, HE DOESN'T MAKE A MISTAKE. 23:23 >> HE DOESN'T MAKE A MISTAKE, SO YOU KNOW THERE WAS A PURPOSE IN 23:27 THIS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 23:28 >> AND I PERSONALLY KNOW THAT -- I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO 23:31 HAVE BEEN HEALED IMMEDIATELY, WHO TOOK IT FOR GRANTED AND EVEN 23:36 DISMISSED IT. AND I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE 23:39 PRAYED, AND WHO HAVE BEEN HEALED GRADUALLY, AND WHO REALLY TRULY 23:47 APPRECIATED IT MORE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY WERE HEALED. 23:49 SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT -- GOD DIDN'T MAKE A MISTAKE. 23:53 IT'S JUST OUR INTERPRETATION OF IT. 23:55 >> THE SCRIPTURE HE IS REFERRING TO IS MARK 8:22-26. 24:03 >> UH-HUH. >> WE SEE IN THE HEALING OF 24:10 JESUS, ALL MANNERS OF HEALING. IN THE BOOK OF JOHN YOU SEE THE 24:19 TOUCHLESS JESUS. IT IS A TOUCHLESS HEALING, ALL 24:22 IN THE BOOK OF JOHN. HE DOESN'T TOUCH ANYBODY. 24:26 AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO SINS AND ARE HEALED WHILE THEY 24:31 GO. SO CHRIST, I THINK LOOKS AT THE 24:33 CIRCUMSTANCES, OBVIOUSLY IT GIVES HIM KNOWLEDGE OF THE 24:36 PERSON THAT HE IS DEALING WITH, AND HE HEALED ACCORDINGLY. 24:43 HE HEALED [ INAUDIBLE ] WITHOUT [ INAUDIBLE ] ELLEN WHITE SAYS 24:48 HE WAS A RAT BEFORE HE WAS HEALED AND A RAT AFTER HE WAS 24:52 HEALED, WHEN HE [ INAUDIBLE ], SO HE IS STILL THINKING EVIL 24:58 [ INAUDIBLE ] SO CHRIST KNOWS THE LONG-TERM SITUATION, AND HE 25:01 KNOWS WHO HE IS DEALING WITH. AND THERE WAS SOMETHING HERE 25:05 THAT CHRIS -- I AGREE WITH WHAT SHELLEY WAS SAYING. 25:08 HEALING WAS COMING BECAUSE HE WAS BLIND THEN HE COULD SEE, BUT 25:13 HE COULDN'T SEE CLEARLY, AND I THINK SOMETIMES CHRIST DOES 25:18 THINGS [ INAUDIBLE ] SO THAT WHEN WE GET HEALED HE KNOW IT 25:22 WAS HIM AND NOT US. >> AMEN. 25:24 >> WELL SAID. >> AND ALSO -- ALSO THE FAITH TO 25:31 HANG IN THERE IN THE JOURNEY OF HEALING. 25:34 HEALING IS NOT ALWAYS INSTANTANEOUS. 25:38 WE ARE THE INSTANT GENERATION. IF IT'S NOT NANOSECONDS WE DON'T 25:43 WANT IT. BUT JESUS FORGAVE A MAN'S SIN, 25:46 AND THEN HE HEALED HIM. HE HEALED HIM, AND THEN HE 25:50 FORGAVE HIM OF HIS SIN. SOME PEOPLE DON'T ONLY NEED 25:55 HEALING THEY NEED FORGIVENESS OF THEIR SIN. 25:57 SO WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT? AND HE SAYS TO LET YOU KNOW I AM 26:02 THE SON OF MAN, I CAN DO EITHER ONE. 26:05 AND THEN THE ROMAN CENTURION, JUST SAY THE WORD. 26:10 SO TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY JESUS DID IT THAT WAY, I THINK 26:17 THE BEST THING WE CAN COME UP WITH, HE IS SOVEREIGN. 26:24 HE KNOWS WHAT EACH ONE OF US NEED. 26:29 MOLLIE STEENSON IS THERE, THE JOURNEY OF HEALING. 26:32 >> AMEN. >> PASTOR KENNY SHELTON WAS 26:37 THERE. PASTOR CA WAS THERE. 26:40 AND IN THE JOURNEY -- I AM STILL IN THE JOURNEY OF HEALING SINCE 26:50 2009. BUT I'M LEARNING IN THE JOURNEY 26:54 OF HEALING. YOU'LL DISCOVER THAT YOU ARE 26:58 100% FOR GOD TO BE AT HIS 100%. HE CAN DO ANYTHING WITH ANYBODY. 27:03 >> AMEN. >> WELL SAID. 27:06 WELL, WE STILL HAVE A STACK OF QUESTIONS, AND WE HAVE 29 27:09 MINUTES ON THE CLASS. >> WE COULD GO FAST. 27:15 >> OKAY. LET ME ASK THIS. 27:20 THIS COMES FROM TANZANIA. DOES THE BIBLE ALLOW US TO DRINK 27:27 ALCOHOL? >> YEAH, IT DOES. 27:31 >> AND FOLLOW THAT UP WITH -- [ LAUGHTER ] 27:34 >> SHELLEY IS GIVING ME THE LOOK. 27:36 WILL YOU PLEASE FOLLOW THAT UP. >> THE BIBLE DOES NOT STOP YOU 27:40 FROM SINNING. >> OH, GOOD. 27:42 >> SINNING IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO OR NOT TO DO. 27:46 THE BIBLE WILL GIVE YOU THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT, AND WILL 27:49 TELL YOU NOT TO DO THAT, AND TELL YOU IT IS AGAINST THE LORD. 27:53 BUT WILL IT STOP YO FROM SINNING? 27:57 IT CANNOT. THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES IT 28:00 DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO MAKE A DECISION, BUT YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE 28:03 TO SIN. SIN IS -- SIN IS ULTIMATELY A 28:06 CHOICE. THERE IS A TEMPTATION. 28:09 A REJECTION OR AN ACCEPTANCE OF THAT TEMPTATION. 28:13 AND THAT OF COURSE IS -- IS SIN. SO DOES THE BIBLE STOP YOU FROM 28:18 SINNING? NO. 28:19 DOES THE BIBLE TELL YOU THAT DRINKING IS BAD? 28:23 YES. DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT IS A 28:25 NEGATIVE THING THAT WILL BRING YOU WOE AND SORROW WHO HAVE 28:29 [ INAUDIBLE ] >> THANK YOU. 28:31 >> YES. THE BIBLE WILL SELL YOU WHAT THE 28:34 CONSEQUENCES OF THAT ACT IS, BUT IT WILL NOT STOP YOU FROM DOING. 28:38 YOU DO THAT AS YOU SURRENDER YOURSELF TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. 28:42 >> OKAY. THIS IS ANOTHER 28:43 QUESTION -- WE'RE GOING QUICKER HERE. 28:47 >> THIS IS THE RAPID FIRE. >> MATTHEW 24:20, IT SAYS THIS 28:52 IS NOT A HUGE THEOLOGICAL QUESTION -- IT COMES FROM SUE -- 28:55 >> BUT SOMETHING I WAS JUST WONDERING ABOUT. 28:57 IT SAYS IN MATTHEW 24:20, THE PEOPLE WERE INSTRUCTED TO PRAY 29:02 THAT THEIR FLIGHT NOT BE IN THE WINTER OR ON THE SABBATH DAY. 29:08 DOES THAT ALSO APPLY TO GOD'S END TIME PEOPLE. 29:11 THE WINTER PART I CAN UNDERSTAND. 29:14 BUT WHY COULD THEY NOT FLEE ON THE SABBATH DAY IF THEIR LIVES 29:19 WERE IN DANGER. >> IT WAS PRAYING THAT WHEN 29:24 CONSTRUCTION COMES IT WON'T BE ON THE SABBATH. 29:27 BECAUSE THE JEWS, YOU WILL BE SITTING DUCKS, YOU WILL BE IN 29:32 THE SYNAGOGUE. THEY WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHERE TO 29:35 FINE YOU. SO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU ARE 29:38 WORSHIPPING, PRAY THAT THEY DON'T CHOOSE THE SABBATH TO COME 29:42 TO BRING DESTRUCTION TO JERUSALEM. 29:44 AND PRAY THT IT'S NOT IN THE WINTER, BECAUSE WE KNOW THE 29:48 ADVERSE CONDITIONS WILL BE HARSH, SO IT'S IN THE MERCY OF 29:51 GOD. HE IS SAYING LOOK OUT, BE 29:55 CAREFUL THAT THESE TWO CONDITIONS DON'T OH CUR. 30:02 >> AMEN. WHAT SCRIPTURES REFUTE THE ONCE 30:07 SAVED ALWAYS SAVED BELIEF. >> HERE IT IS. 30:11 IT IS 2 PETER 2:22. READ IT, SHELLEY. 30:15 >> GO AHEAD. I DON'T HAVE IT. 30:18 >> 2 PETER 2:22. >> THERE ARE MANY, THOUGH. 30:21 >> YEAH, MANY. >> THIS SHOULD BE A PROGRAM. 30:25 >> OH, YES. >> HERE IT IS -- 30:29 >> 2 PETER 2? >> YEAH VERSE 20 OF 2 PETER 2. 30:40 FOR IF AFTER THEY HAVE ESCAPED THE POLLUTION OF THE WORD, THEY 30:46 ARE AGAIN ENTANGLED IN THEM, AND OVERCOME, THE LATTER END IS 30:50 WORSE FOR THEM THAN THE BEGINNING. 30:52 THEY ESCAPED. FOR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER 30:56 FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAN TO 31:01 HAVE KNOWN IT. AND IT SAYS IN VERSE 22, BUT IT 31:06 HAPPENED TO THEM ACCORDING TO THE TRUE PROVERB, THE DOG 31:11 RETURNED TO HIS OWN VOMIT AND THE SOUL HAVING WASHED WALLOWING 31:18 IN THE MEYER. BUT THEY HAVE TASTED THE 31:21 LIBERTY, THE FREEDOM, THE JOY, WHAT CHRIST HAS GIVEN TO THEM. 31:25 BUT THEY GO BACK INTO THAT. GOD DOESN'T PLACE YOU ON A 31:30 CONVEYER BELT, AND SAY SORRY, THERE IS NO RETURNING. 31:33 HE STILL GIVES US THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE. 31:36 THE DISCIPLES. MANY WALKED AWAY FRO HIM. 31:43 AND MANY DISCIPLES TURNED AWAY AND WALKED WITH HIM NO MORE. 31:48 THIS ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED IS NOT SUPPORTED BY SCRIPTURE. 31:52 >> ANYONE ELSE? >> HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END 31:55 SHALL BE SAVED. >> AMEN. 31:58 AMEN. WHEN THE [ INAUDIBLE ] CRISIS 32:00 COMES ABOUT, HOW WILL BE A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST RESPOND TO 32:03 A JUDGE OR LAWYER WHEN THESE OFFICIALS CAN TRUMP THEM AS 32:11 ROMANS 13:1-5. SO THEY ARE SAYING HOW ARE YOU 32:16 GOING TO RESPOND TO THAT QUESTION? 32:19 >> OKAY. >> AT THEN TIME. 32:22 >> ACT 5 -- >> THANK YOU. 32:25 [ LAUGHTER ] >> PASTOR WHAT DOES THAT SAY. 32:27 >> YES, IT IS BETTER TO OBEY GOD [ INAUDIBLE ] PREACH IN HIS 32:32 NAME. IT IS BETTER TO OBEY GOD RATHER 32:36 THAN MAN. >> THAT IS ACTS -- 32:38 >> 3:29. >> DANIEL DID IT, THE HEBREWS 32:45 DID IT, NEBUCHADNEZZAR, WE LIKE YOU, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK 32:51 TO YOU ABOUT THIS ONE. ALWAYS CHOOSE GOD OVER MEN. 32:55 >> AMEN. >> OKAY. 32:56 >> THIS COMES FROM SUSAN. THE PURE WOMAN IN REVELATION AND 33:01 THE WOMAN WHO RIDES THE BEAST IN REVELATION 17, ARE THEY ONE IN 33:08 THE SAME? >> WE MIGHT NEED A COUPLE OF 33:11 PEOPLE ANSWER THIS. >> I'M JUST ON FIRE TODAY -- 33:14 >> GO AHEAD. >> PASTOR CA -- 33:16 >> I'M TURNING. >> YOU KNOW WHY THEY ARE THE 33:20 SAME? REVELATION 12, THE WOMAN IS SENT 33:22 INTO THE WILDERNESS. REVELATION 17, JOHN IS TAKEN 33:28 INTO THE WILLERNESS TO SEE THE WOMAN. 33:30 THIS IS THE WOMAN THAT WENT INTO THE WILDERNESS DURING THE DARK 33:35 AGES. PURE. 33:36 AND DURING THE DARK AGES THE CHURCH WAS CORRUPTED. 33:40 IT'S ONE WOMAN IN TWO CONDITIONS. 33:42 WATCH THIS. >> OKAY. 33:45 GOOD. >> FIVE WIVES. 33:47 FIVE FOOLISH. SAME WOMAN. 33:49 THEY HAVE NOT VIRGINS. THEY ARE NOT DEFILED. 33:54 THERE ARE NO TWO WOMEN IN THE BIBLE. 33:57 THEY SHOW CONDITIONS OF THE WOMAN. 33:59 CONDITIONS OF THE SAME WOMAN. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT REVELATIONS 34:03 12, SHE WAS SENT INTO THE WILDERNESS. 34:06 NOW THE SPIRIT TAKES JOHN INTO THE WILDERNESS TO SEE HER. 34:09 YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH, THAT'S EXACTLY -- THE 34:14 CHURCH WENT PURE BEFORE THE DARK AGES. 34:16 BUT THEY WERE CORRUPTED BY THE CHURCH OF THE DARK AGES. 34:19 THAT'S WHY THE GOD THAT WE SERVED RAISED UP A CHURCH TO 34:23 BRING THE WOMAN BACK TO PURITY. SO THAT'S THE NUTSHELL OF IT. 34:27 >> AGREED. IT'S THE SAME WOMAN, BUT SHE IS 34:32 IN A DIFFERENT STATE. >> AMEN. 34:35 >> ONE WAS PURE GOT CORRUPTED BY THE CHURCHES OF THE DARK AGES 34:40 AND THEN SHE BECAME A HARLOT. NOW THE LORD IS BRINGING HER 34:44 BACK TO PURITY. THAT'S WHY HE SAYS COME OUT OF 34:48 HER, WHEREVER HER IMPURITY IS STILL FOUND, COME OUT OF HER, MY 34:53 PEOPLE. >> AMEN. 34:56 >> SO -- >> EXCELLENT. 35:01 ONE PREACHER HAD A SERMON CALLED CHRIST'S WIFE OR THE DEVIL'S 35:10 [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> THAT'S GREAT. 35:12 BECAUSE IN MY OWN UNDERSTANDING, I HAD NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, 35:16 ABOUT BEING ONE WOMAN, ONE CHURCH, AND THE CHURCH BECOMING 35:21 CORRUPTED. >> DIFFERENT CONDITIONS OF THE 35:22 SAME -- >> YES, BECAUSE I ALWAYS 35:25 PERSONALLY THOUGHT THERE'S TWO. THERE'S THE PURE. 35:28 THERE'S THE IMPURE -- >> WE COULD STILL ARGUE THAT 35:32 POINT AS WELL. THIS IS JUST AN INTERPRETATION. 35:37 >> LIKE THAT. THIS ONE SAYS HOW DO WE KNOW IF 35:40 GOD IS SPEAKING TO US, AND NOT OUR SUB CONSCIOUS MIND? 35:45 MEANING HOW DO I DISCERN THE WILL OF GOD. 35:49 >> THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE [ INAUDIBLE ] 1 KINGS 14:12, AND 35:55 WE ALSO KNOW THAT JESUS SAID MY SHEEP WILL KNOW MY VOICE. 35:58 BUT NUMBER 1, THE LORD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH THE WORD, SO ANYTHING 36:03 THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPRESSES UPON OUR MIND IS GOING TO LINE 36:07 UP WITH THE WORD, FIRST AND FOREMOST. 36:14 N NOW I THIS THINK THAT THERE IS 36:19 SOMETHING -- I CAN'T THINK OF THE SONG -- HE SAYS HE HAS GIVEN 36:22 ME THE EAR OF A DESTRUCTED DISCIPLE -- ISAIAH 54. 36:30 >> I'LL LOOK. >> ANYWAY, WE DO HAVE A TRAINING 36:35 PROCESS TO GO THROUGH TO RECOGNIZE THE LORD, BECAUSE EVEN 36:38 NOW, I MEAN STILL, SOMETHING COMES TO MY MIND, AND I'M SAYING 36:43 LORD IS THIS ME OR IS THIS YOU? I'M GOING TO TEST IT? 36:47 BUT, GOD, GENERALLY DOES GIVE US PLENTY OF SUPPORTING EVIDENCE. 36:53 >> UH-HUH. >> HE OPENS DOORS AND DOES 36:56 DIFFERENT THINGS. I THINK YOU AND I DIFFER ON 36:59 THIS, I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS YOU3 AND I, BUT THE ONE THING I WOULD 37:04 SAY IS THAT I DON'T THINK GOD WANTS US TO BE ASKING FOR SIGNS 37:08 ALL THE TIME. >> THAT'S TRUE. 37:10 >> I THINK THAT'S A LACK OF FAITH. 37:12 I THINK IT'S OVERUSED. I THINK THE DEVIL CAN FOOL YOU 37:15 WITH SIGNS AS WELL. >> UH-HUH. 37:18 >> AND I BELIEVE THAT JUST BECAUSE WE SEE SOMETHING DONE 37:22 ONCE IN SCRIPTURE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S -- THIS IS THE PROCEDURE 37:26 THAT YOU MUST GO THROUGH -- >> I AGREE WITH THAT. 37:30 >> FOR GOD'S WILL. SO I WOULD SAY THAT 37:32 JUST -- AT -- THE MORE -- THE CLOSER YOU GET TO GOD, THE MORE 37:39 HE'LL MAKE IT DISCERNIBLE WHEN IT IS HIS WILL, AN ONCE AGAIN, 37:44 TEST IT BY THE WORD, TEST IT WITH OTHER PEOPLE, AND JUST KEEP 37:47 PRACTICING THAT LISTENING. >> UH-HUH. 37:51 >> AMEN. >> AND THERE IS SAFETY IN A 37:54 MULTITUDE OF COUNSELORS. I HAVE LEARNED THAT. 37:57 ONE OF THE DOWN FALLS OF ONE OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL IS THAT THEY 38:02 PUT YOUNG PEOLE WITH NO EXPERIENCE IN POSITIONS THAT 38:06 LEAD PEOPLE THE WAY THEY FELT THEY SHOULD GO. 38:09 AND THEY SAID LISTEN TO THE ELDERS. 38:11 AND THEY SAID NO. BUT THE LORD SAID MY THOUGHTS 38:15 ARE NOT NECESSARILY YOUR THOUGHTS NOR OR MY WAYS YOUR 38:21 WAYS. AND I THINK SHELLEY MADE THIS 38:23 POINT ON THE THING ABOU PRAYER. IF YOU SINCERELY ASK GOD TO 38:28 GUIDE YOU. THE BIBLE SAYS THE STEPS OF A 38:32 RIGHTEOUS MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD. 38:35 THAT'S WHY I'M HERE AT 3ABN. I SAT AT THE EDGE OF MY BED AND 38:42 SAID LORD WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO WITH YOUR LIVES. 38:46 TWO DAYS LATER I GOT A CALL FRO KENNY SHELTON. 38:52 >> AMEN. THE SCRIPTURE REFERENCE IS 38:57 ISAIAH 55 -- >> YES. 38:58 >> I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. >> WE READ THE PART ABOUT THE 39:04 EAR -- >> HE AWAKENS ME MORNING BY 39:08 MORNING, HE AWAKENS MY EAR TO HEAR AS A LEARNED. 39:12 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THAT'S SOMETHING I PRAYED 39:16 ABOUT -- A LONG TIME, I REMEMBER PRAYING THOSE SCRIPTURES ABOUT 39:21 HEARING GOD'S VOICE FOR OVER A YEAR, AND ONE DAY HE SPOKE TO 39:26 ME, AND I WAS LIKE, OH. [ LAUGHTER ] 39:29 >> AND WHEN I SAY HE SPOKE TO ME, I'M TALKING HE IMPRESSED HIS 39:34 THOUGHT UPON MY MINE, BUT I DO BELIEVE -- I THINK SOMETIMES I 39:39 REALIZE WHEN MY LIFE IS GETTING TOO BUSY IS WHEN I DON'T HAVE 39:43 THAT KIND OF TIME IN PRAYER TO LISTEN TO THE LORD, THEN YOUR 39:47 LIFE IS GET TOO BUSY. >> SOMETIMES I GET SO BUSY 39:52 TALKING MYSELF, I NEED TO JUST TAKE TIME TO BE QUIET. 39:55 >> AMEN. >> SPIRITUAL THINGS ARE 39:59 SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED, YOU HAVE TO WATCH AND PRAYER AND DO BOTH. 40:03 IF YOU ARE PRAYING AND -- IF YOU ARE PRAYING AND NOT WATCHING YOU 40:08 MAY GET THE ANSWER AND NO KNOW WHAT IT IS, SO YOU HAVE TO DO 40:12 THEM BOTH. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 40:15 >> WELL SAID. >> GOOD POINT. 40:17 THIS COMES FROM STELLA REFERRING TO MATTHEW 10:28. 40:23 PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS VERSE IN LINE WITH THE STATE OF THE DEAD. 40:27 WHAT IS A SOUL? AND AGAIN, THE REFERENCE IS 40:31 MATTHEW 10:28. >> WE SHOULD READ THE REFERENCE. 40:34 >> I AGREE. IN THAT WOULD HELP. 40:37 HOPEFULLY YOU AT HOME ARE TURNING IN YOUR BIBLES AS WELL. 40:40 THIS IS A LOT OF FUN. >> DO NOT FEAR THOSE WHO KILL 40:46 THE BODY, BUT CANNOT KILL THE SOUL, BUT RATHER FEAR HIM WHO IS 40:50 ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL AND BODY IN HELL. 40:56 THE -- THE POINT HERE WAS NOT ABOUT LIFE OR DEATH AT ALL. 41:01 THE POINT ABOUT -- THAT WAS BEING MADE HERE WAS THE WORST 41:07 THING A MAN CAN DO TO YOU IS TAKE YOUR LIFE. 41:11 BUT HE CAN'T TAKE YOUR ETERNITY. PROVERBS 18:4 -- 41:19 >> 1 TIMOTHY 6:16 SAYS ONLY GOD IS IMMORTAL. 41:25 >> THE SOUL -- EZEKIEL, THE SOUL THAT SINIST -- 41:30 >> I THINK -- [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] 41:33 >> THE SOUL THAT SINTH SHALL DIE. 41:37 THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE SECOND DEATH HERE. 41:40 THIS IS SIMPLY SAYING THE MARTYRS, THEY CAN KILL YOU, BUT 41:45 YOU WILL COME FORTH IN THE RECK RECOLLECTION. 41:56 LAZARUS, BUT WHEN THE LORD KILLS YOU THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH. 42:00 >> AND IT DOES SAY THAT SOULS ARE DESTRUCKABLE. 42:05 WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS ON THE PHONE. 42:10 GOD HAS [ INAUDIBLE ] 1 CORINTHIANS -- IMMORTALITY IS 42:15 GRANTED TO US. IT IS NOT INNATE OR NATURAL. 42:19 >> BUT THE POINT YOU JUST MADE, REPEAT THAT. 42:22 BECAUSE IF YOU READ THE TEXT CORRECTLY, IT'S TALKING ABOUT A 42:26 SOUL THAT CAN BE KILLED. >> PRECISELY. 42:30 >> EVEN IN JOHN 3:16, THE WORD THERE IS -- WHEN JESUS SAID HE 42:38 GAVE HIS OWN BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOEVER SHOULD BELIEVE IN HIM 42:43 SHOULD NOT PARISH BUT HAVE EVER-LASTING LIFE.-THE WORD MEANS TOTAL UTTER 42:49 DESTRUCTION TO BE BLOTTED OUT -- 42:51 >> THAT'S RIGHT. OBLITERATED. 42:54 >> YEAH. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT -- I 42:56 EVEN HAVE AN AMPLIFIED BIBLE. IN AN AMPLIFIED BIBLE, IF IT'S 43:06 PARENTHETICAL, IF IT'S IN PARENTHESES, THAT IS THE 43:11 EXPANSION OF THE GREEKS -- ->> [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> NO IT'S NOT -- WELL, ANY WAY. 43:18 WHEN IT IS IN BRACKETS THAT'S THE COMMENTATOR. 43:22 SO HERE I HAVE GOT THIS BRACKETED ONE, IT WASN'T JUST 43:32 THE GREEK, AND IT SAYS JOHN 3:16, WHOEVER LOVES THE LORD 43:38 THAT HE WILL NOT SUFFER ETERNAL DEATH. 43:41 IT ACTUALLY SAYS THAT.-pNOW THEY DON'T PUBLISH IT THAT WAY ANYMORE, BUT IF YOU STUDY IN 43:48 THE GREEK, IT IS ABSOLUTE TOTAL DESTRUCTION, AND THROUGHOUT THE 43:52 BIBLE. >> AMEN. 43:53 NEXT QUESTION THIS IS DANIEL 10:12-13, THIS IS FROM DAVID. 43:59 HE SAYS THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL THAT WHILE DANIEL 44:04 PRAYED THAT HIS PRAYERS WERE HELD BY THE PRINCE OF PERSIA FOR 44:08 21 DAYS. MY QUESTION IS THAT CAN AN EVIL 44:13 ANGEL BE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE WHOLLY ANGEL. 44:18 I NEED MORE CLARITY ON THAT PARTICULAR VERSE. 44:23 LET'S READ THAT VERSE FIRST.-DANIEL 12-13. >> YOU HAVE IT SHELLEY -- 44:31 >> 10, 12, 13. >> FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT YOU 44:36 SET YOUR HEART TO UNDERSTAND, YOUR WORD TS WERE HEARD, AND I 44:40 HAVE COME BECAUSE OF YOUR WORDS, WHICH IS SO EXCITING, BECAUSE WE 44:45 KNOW THAT GOD HEARS US AS WE PRAY. 44:47 BUT THE PRINCE OF THE KINGDOM OF PERSIA WITHSTOOD ME 21 DAYS, AND 44:54 BEHOLD, MICHAEL, ONE OF THE CHIEF PRINCES CAME TO HELP ME, 44:58 FOR I HAD BEEN LEFT ALONE THERE WITH THE KINGS OF PERSIA. 45:01 >> SO THE QUESTION IS WHY THE DELAY? 45:08 >> GO AHEAD. >> AND IS THE EVIL ANGEL IS MORE 45:12 POWERFUL THAN CHRIST. AND OF COURSE WE KNOW THE ANSWER 45:16 TO THAT. >> IT IS NOT. 45:19 >> THE LOD SENT DELIVERANCE TO DANIEL. 45:24 WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS WHAT WE DON'T NORMALLY SEE. 45:28 WE DON'T SEE THE STRUGGLE OVER OUR SOULS. 45:31 I READ A QUOTATION LAST WEEK, WHEN ONE IS RESCUED FROM THE 45:38 HAND OF GOD, SATAN DOUBLES AND TRIPLES HIS EFFORTS. 45:43 DANIEL IS ASKING FOR DELIVERANCE, BUT NOW AN ANGEL IS 45:48 BEING SENT. HE IS MET BY HOSTS OF EVIL 45:54 ANGELS. HE IS MET BY THE HOST OF EVIL. 45:57 AND THERE IS A CONSTANT BATTLE GOING ON. 46:00 WE'RE SEEING HERE A PICTURE OF THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE. 46:04 SO THE LORD, MICHAEL, THE ARC ANGEL, CHRIST, SAYS THEY CANNOT 46:09 RESIST ME. ISLE TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF. 46:14 SO OVEREVERY ONE OF US IS A BATTLE BEING FOUGHT. 46:17 BUT DANIEL BEING THE SERVANT OF GOD HERE IS WHY THE FORCES OF 46:22 DARKNESS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE LEARNED IN THE COURSE 46:25 OF -- WHEN GOD CARVES OUT -- NOT THAT EACH ONE OF US HAS A 46:33 DIFFERENT VALUE, BUT THE GREATEST YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, 46:36 THE MORE DETERMINED YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS. 46:40 THE DEVIL DID NOT WANT DANIEL TO PROSPER AT ALL. 46:43 SO AT THE MOMENT OF -- OF GREAT NEED, DANIEL IS ASKING FOR THE 46:46 LORD TO DELIVER HIM. AND THERE IS A BATTLE BEING 46:50 FOUGHT OVER -- OVER DANIEL. AND THE SAME WAY IN THE BOOK OF 46:54 JUDE, HOW THE DEVIL CONTENDED WITH GOD OVER THE BODY OF MOSES. 46:59 BUT JESUS STEPS IN AND MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. 47:02 JESUS STEPS IN AND TAKES THE -pIMBALANCE OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE THESE ARE ANGELS OF EQUAL 47:14 MATCHED FORCES BUT MICHAEL, THE CHIEF ANGEL, THE ONE ABOVE THEM 47:20 ALL, STEPS IN AND IMBALANCES THE BATTLE. 47:26 HE SAID I WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE SOONER, BUT I WAS FIGHTING TO BE 47:31 HERE. >> THE BIBLE SAYS THAT OUR 47:33 STRUGGLE IS NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD. 47:37 IT IS AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES. AND THERE ARE TIMES -- AND WE 47:41 ALL KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE FRONT LINE, SOMETIMES WHEN 47:45 YOU ARE THERE IN THE MOMENT, DOING EXACTLY WHAT GOD CALLS YOU 47:50 TO DO, IS WHEN YOU HAVE THE GREATEST RESISTANCE. 47:53 >> UH-HUH. >> THIS BRINGS ME GREAT HOPE, 47:57 BECAUSE DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, CHRIST IS STRONGER THAN ANY EVIL 48:04 ANGEL. BUT THERE WAS THIS BATTLE BEING 48:07 WAGED. WE HEARD FROM THE VERY 48:09 BEGINNING. IT JUST GIVES ME -- I LOVE THIS 48:14 SCRIPTURE. >> PASTOR CA? 48:15 >> WHAT WAS COMING TO MY MIND, AT COST, SATAN WAS CAST DOWN. 48:23 IN THE OLD TEST TIMES, SATAN HAD CERTAIN ABILITY AND ACCESS THAT 48:28 WAS DENIED TO HIM AFTER THE CROSS. 48:32 SO WE GET A PICTURE OF SATAN AS HE WAS FLECKING WHAT LITTLE 48:37 AUTHORITY HE HAD THAT WAS DENIED TO HIM AFTER THE CROSS. 48:41 EVERYTHING WAS SETTLED AT THE CROSS AS FAR AS WHO WOULD BE IN, 48:45 AND WHO WOULD BE OUT. BUT PRIOR TO THAT, THERE WAS 48:49 SOME ABILITIES THAT HE HAD THAT HE NO LONGER POSSESSES TO LEAVE 48:53 THE EARTH, HE HAS THE [ INAUDIBLE ] THAT'S GONE. 48:56 THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. AND I THINK AGREEING WITH 49:00 SHELLEY AND JOHN, THAT WE GET A PULLING BACK OF THE VEIL, AND 49:04 SEE WHAT IS GOING ON BETWEEN EVERY LIFE AND EVERY SOUL AND 49:08 THE LORD. >> COULD I ALSO SAY THIS? 49:10 BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPIRITUAL BATTLE, IT IS SO EASY 49:15 FOR ME TO RECOGNIZE SPIRITUAL BATTLES IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE. 49:20 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> WHEN THEY ARE CALLING -- I'M 49:23 GOING YOU ARE IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE. 49:25 BUT WHEN IT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE, I DON'T ALWAYS RECOGNIZE 49:30 IT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT -- I DON'T 49:31 KNOW WHY, BUT IT'S KIND OF -- SOMETIMES YOU EVEN GET TO 49:35 THAT POINT OF LORD WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? 49:38 >> AND THEN SUDDENLY, YOU BEGIN TO RECOGNIZE. 49:42 I AM IN THE MIDST OF A SPIRITUAL BATTLE. 49:45 I NEED TO START DOING WARFARE. I NEED TO REALLY GET THE WEAPONS 49:51 OF MY WARFARE OUT. AND THIS IS SOMETHING -- I THINK 49:55 AGAIN, WHY I LIKE THAT SCRIPTURE IS THAT SOMETIMES IT'S EASY FOR 49:58 US TO FORGET THAT THERE IS THIS BATTLE GOING ON. 50:02 >> THAT'S A VERY VERY GOOD POINT. 50:05 >> IT IS. WHICH IS WHY IT GOES BACK TO THE 50:08 POINT THAT YOU PRAY AND KEEP ON PRAYING. 50:11 MAYBE YOU ARE NOT READY EVEN TO RECEIVE THAT ANSWER AT THAT 50:14 POINT IN TIME. MAYBE YOU NEED TO CHANGE OR 50:16 ADJUST SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF 50:19 THINGS GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES THAT WE DO NOT 50:23 NECESSARILY SEE. THAT OF COURSE, GOD -- GOD SEES. 50:27 >> AMEN. >> WOW, THERE IS ONLY SIX 50:30 MINUTES LEFT. WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT MARRIAGE 50:33 AND THE NEW EARTH? WILL WE KNOW OUR SPOUSES AS WE 50:38 KNOW THEM NOW? >> I HOPE SO. 50:40 >> THIS COMES FROM TERESA. >> I HOPE SO. 50:43 >> THE LORD IS NOT GOING TO GET RID OF MARRIAGE ANY MORE THAN HE 50:47 IS GOING TO GET RID OF THE SABBATH. 50:51 NOW THE BIBLE SAYS IN HEAVEN WE WILL NEITHER MARRY NOR BE GIVEN 50:57 IN MARRY. I HAVEN'T COME UPON A SCRIPTURE 51:02 THAT SAYS IN THE NEW EARTH MARRIAGE WILL BE DISBANDED. 51:08 I LOOK FORWARD TO ONE DAY BEING MORE OF A STATURE OF A MAN IN 51:14 THE NEW EARTH FOR MY WIFE TO ADMIRE THAT I CAN'T ATTAIN NOW. 51:19 I HAVE GENETICS THAT DON'T ALLOW ME TO LOOK LIKE WHAT I WANT TO 51:24 LOOK LIKE. BUT I BELIEVE IN THE NEW EARTH 51:27 WE ARE GOING TO RELISH THE BEAUTY OF MARRIAGE AS GOD AS 51:31 BLESSED IT AND ORDAINED IT TO BE. 51:34 BUT IN HEAVEN THERE WILL BE NO MARRIAGE OR GIVING OF MARRIAGE. 51:40 WE'RE THERE FOR TH PURPOSE OF REVIEWING THE RECORDS. 51:43 >> SOMETIMES SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS CLEAR, BUT 51:47 I DO KNOW THAT I'LL BE HAPPY WITH WHATEVER GOD IS PROVIDING. 51:52 >> AND THAT WILL BE JILL. >> OH, I AGREE WITH THAT. 51:57 >> THANK YOU. >> MARRIAGE AND SABBATH WERE 52:02 BOTH PRESIN INSTITUTIONS, SO POST SIN -- 52:05 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THIS IS FROM WILLIAM HOW CAN 52:09 WE HAVE PEACE IN THIS WORLD, AND WORK WITH PEOPLE NOT OF OUR 52:15 FAITH? HOW CAN WE HAE PEACE IN THE 52:17 WORLD, AND WORK WITH PEOPLE NOT OF YOUR FAITH. 52:20 >> ISAIAH 26:3, IF WE KEEP OUR EYES FOCUSED ON GOD, TRUSTING IN 52:28 HIM, HE WILL GIVE US PERFECT PEACE. 52:30 AND I THINK IT IS VERY DIFFICULT IF YOU ARE WORKING -- IF YOU ARE 52:34 A CHRISTIAN AND YOU ARE WORKING IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PERHAPS 52:38 THERE'S SWEARING OR ALL KINDS OF IMMORAL THINGS GOING ON, THAT IT 52:43 IS SOMETHING THAT COULD ROB YOU OF YOUR PEACE IF YOU GET YOUR 52:46 EYES OFF OF GOD, BUT IF YOU JUST KEEP YOUR EYES FOCUSED ON HIM, 52:53 AND NOT BECOME -- GOD MAY PUT YOU THERE TO BE PART OF THE 52:58 SOLUTION, RATHER THAN PART OF THE PROBLEM. 53:01 SO DON'T COMPROMISE, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT -- YOU KNOW, I 53:04 KNOW THAT -- WE HA A YOUNG MAN WHO WORKED HERE FOR SOME YEARS 53:10 AND THEN LEFT AND THEN WET TO WORK IN THE WORLD, AND HE WAS 53:15 CALLING, BEGGING FOR HIS JOB BACK, BECAUSE HE SAID THIS IS 53:19 ALMOST UNBEARABLE BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE, AND JUST THE 53:22 ATTITUDES. SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT IF YOU 53:26 KEEP -- IF YOU DON'T KEEP YOUR EYES FOCUSED ON THE LORD, YOU 53:30 COULD LOSE YOUR PEACE. >> MATTHEW 5:16 LET YOUR LIGHT 53:34 SHINE BEFORE MEN AS THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY IN 53:39 HEAVEN. SOMETIMES GOD ALLOWS US TO BE A 53:43 CANDLE AMIST DARKNESS. WAS AT A HOSPITAL IN SAN 53:47 FRANCISCO A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. AND I WENT UPSTAIRS TO GET A 53:51 TEST RESULT. AND I FORGOT, AND THEY SAID GO 53:54 GET IT AND COME TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. 53:56 I CAME BACK AND THERE WERE THREE WOMEN IN FRONT OF ME. 53:59 AND I COULD HAVE SAID COULD YOU JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY. 54:03 I STOOD IN THE BACK OF THE LINE. MY WIFE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 54:08 THE COUNTER. THE NURSES STOOD THERE, AND SAID 54:11 YOUR HUSBAND MUST BE A CHRISTIAN. 54:14 I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BEING A PASTOR. 54:18 SHE SAID HE LET THOSE THREE WOMEN AHEAD OF THEM. 54:21 HE JUST LET THEM GO WITHOUT SAYING A SINGLE WORD. 54:24 SO YOUR LIFE COULD BE A SILENT WITNESS AT A TIME WHEN IT REALLY 54:29 MATTERS. >> [ INAUDIBLE ]. 54:30 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 54:34 HE CALLS EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE AT PEACE WITH HIM. 54:38 SO IT PRESUPPOSES THAT THE WAY YOU PROSECUTE YOUR LIFE IS 54:45 PLEASING TO GOD. THEY HAVE NOTHING ON YOU, 54:49 BECAUSE YOUR WAYS PLEASE GOD. >> ROMANS 12 MAKES IT VERY 54:53 CLEAR. IT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. 54:57 PAUL SAYS AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITH OTHERS. 55:00 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IT ISN'T ALWAYS POSSIBLE. 55:02 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BUT YOU CAN HAVE PEACE IN 55:06 YOUR HEART. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 55:07 >> I LIKE THAT YOU MENTIONED ROMANS 12. 55:13 I BELIEVE IN THAT. I WROTE THIS IS HOW I SHOULD 55:17 LIVE EVERY DAY. >> AMEN. 55:19 >> IT GIVES GODLY PRINCIPALS FOR LOVING, FOR BELIEVING FOR 55:27 TRUSTING IN GOD TO BRING VENGEANCE AND ALL OF THAT. 55:29 >> IT TAKES TWO TO FIGHT STILL. >> AMEN. 55:32 HARD TO BELIEVE WE'RE COMING DOWN TO THE END OF BOTH OF OUR 55:36 HOURS HERE. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. 55:38 I JUST THINK IF WE OPEN UP THE WORD OF GOD IT CHANGES US. 55:43 AS WE GET IN AND AS WE STUDY, AS WE MEDITATE THAT I WOULD NOT SIN 55:51 AGAINST THEE.
