¤ >> WELCOME BACK TO 3ABN "TODAY
00:00:08.04\00:00:12.44
LIVE." WE HAVE
BEEN HAVING A GREAT
00:00:12.44\00:00:15.31
STUDY HERE,
HAVEN'T WE? >> IT'S RICH.
00:00:15.31\00:00:18.78
>> WHAT ARE YOU -- YOU ARE
TAKING IT ALL IN, WHAT ARE YOU
00:00:18.78\00:00:27.46
GLEAMING --
GLEANING. >> THE REAL DEAL
00:00:27.46\00:00:30.66
>> >> GLEAMING AND GLEANING.
00:00:30.66\00:00:32.59
>> THE REAL DEAL IS
IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS.
00:00:32.59\00:00:35.53
IT'S NOT ABOUT US.
WE CAN'T BE GOOD ENOUGH.
00:00:35.53\00:00:38.50
WE CAN'T WORK
OUR WAY INTO HEAVEN.
00:00:38.50\00:00:41.10
WE CAN ONLY SURRENDER OURSELVES
TO HIM ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND
00:00:41.10\00:00:48.04
THE HOLY SPIRIT LETS US KNOW
WHEN WE'RE GETTING OFF TRACK,
00:00:48.04\00:00:52.38
AND HE BRINGS US GENTLY BACK
ON TRACK, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT US.
00:00:52.38\00:00:57.22
IT'S ABOUT SAYING TO JESUS, LIVE
YOUR LIFE THROUGH ME, AND LET ME
00:00:57.22\00:01:03.32
REFLECT YOU. AND IT'S
SO FREEING, BECAUSE IT
00:01:03.32\00:01:05.99
CAN BE SUCH A BURDEN
TO TRY TO BE GOOD ENOUGH.
00:01:05.99\00:01:10.30
OH, MAN, I MESSED UP AGAIN.
YOU KNOW THAT SONG THAT I SING
00:01:10.30\00:01:16.20
"JUST ONE MORE, I'M SORRY I BLEW
IT," WELL, WE ALL BLOW IT FROM
00:01:16.20\00:01:22.21
TIME TO TIME. BUT
IT'S NOT ABOUT WHEN WE BLOW
00:01:22.21\00:01:25.15
IT, IT'S ABOUT WHO
IS THERE TO PICK US UP.
00:01:25.15\00:01:28.95
WHO IS THERE TO
HELP US, TO GUIDE US.
00:01:28.95\00:01:32.42
I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THIS LESSON,
BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE SO MANY
00:01:32.42\00:01:36.89
PEOPLE WHO LIKE MRS. SMITH
IN YOUR ILLUSTRATION FEEL AS
00:01:36.89\00:01:40.80
THOUGH -- THEY -- THEY JUST HOPE
THEY ARE READY WHEN JESUS COMES.
00:01:40.80\00:01:44.43
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO
BE READY, BUT I HOPE -- NO, HE
00:01:44.43\00:01:48.47
SAID -- WE HAVE
SALVATION RIGHT NOW.
00:01:48.47\00:01:51.61
ETERNAL LIFE
RIGHT NOW. >> RIGHT.
00:01:51.61\00:01:53.21
>> UH-HUH. >> SO
THAT'S WHAT WE CAN HOLD ON
00:01:53.21\00:01:56.88
TO. ARE YOU SORRY
YOU ASKED ME TO --
00:01:56.88\00:01:59.31
>> NO, THAT'S GOOD. >>
I'M JUST EXCITED BECAUSE IT'S
00:01:59.31\00:02:04.35
SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO
REMIND -- BE REMINDED OF ALL
00:02:04.35\00:02:08.82
THAT JESUS HAS DONE TO
MAKE OUR SALVATION POSSIBLE.
00:02:08.82\00:02:12.36
>> IT'S SUCH A CRITICAL SUBJECT,
AND AGAIN, FOR THOSE OF YOU JUST
00:02:12.36\00:02:17.97
JOINING US, PASTOR JOHN
BRADSHAW, SPEAKER DIRECTOR IT IS
00:02:17.97\00:02:23.04
WRITTEN, OUR -- WE WON'T SAY
GUEST TOP, OUR ASSOCIATE, OUR
00:02:23.04\00:02:28.44
FRIEND AND BROTHER, IT'S A SUCH
AN IMPORTANT TOPIC, BECAUSE SO
00:02:28.44\00:02:32.45
MANY LIVES ARE AT
STEAK. >> OH, YES.
00:02:32.45\00:02:35.35
>> AND THE PROBLEM, I THINK A
PERSON -- IF THEY JUST READ THE
00:02:35.35\00:02:39.32
BIBLE AND HAD A BIBLE, AND MAYBE
A DESSERTED ISLAND OR SOMETHING
00:02:39.32\00:02:45.46
ELSE, I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT
THE PRISONERS THAT DIDN'T KNOW
00:02:45.46\00:02:48.40
ANYTHING ABOUT GOD, THE BIBLE,
RELIGION OR ANYTHING ELSE, YOU
00:02:48.40\00:02:52.10
GIVE THEM A BIBLE, AND WHEN THEY
READ IT, THEY END UP -- WHEN
THE-PRISON CHAPLAINS SAY WE'RE
00:02:52.10\00:03:00.08
GOING TO HAVE CHURCH SUNDAY
MORNING, THEY SAY, WHY ARE WE
00:03:00.08\00:03:06.82
GOING ON SUNDAY?
THE BIBLE SAYS SATURDAY.
00:03:06.82\00:03:09.22
BECAUSE NO ONE IS
THERE TO INFLUENCE THEM.
00:03:09.22\00:03:11.35
AND I THINK IF YOU JUST GAVE
SOMEBODY A BIBLE AND THEY READ
00:03:11.35\00:03:16.69
IT, THIS MIGHT BE
EASY TO FIGURE OUT.
00:03:16.69\00:03:19.46
BUT OF ALL THINGS WE WANT TO
COME TO A CHURCH SO THE CHURCH
00:03:19.46\00:03:23.06
CAN HELP US, BUT SO MANY TIMES
WE'RE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE, WE'RE
00:03:23.06\00:03:28.54
TO CRITICAL. I SAW
HIM OUT DOING THIS -- I
00:03:28.54\00:03:31.97
CAN'T BELIEVE IT. HE
GAVE HIS HERT TO THE LORD,
00:03:31.97\00:03:34.81
AND THREE WEEKS LATER I SAW
HIM OUT SMOKING A CIGARETTE.
00:03:34.81\00:03:40.22
SO NOW WORD GETS AROUND,
HUH OH, JOHN, PAUL, WHOEVER IT
00:03:40.22\00:03:45.09
IS -- MAN, THIS MAN IS WAY BACK.
SO I THINK WE DO SO MUCH HARM IN
00:03:45.09\00:03:50.03
THE CHURCH, IF WE CAN JUST
BE PRAYING FOR JOHN, FOR PAUL,
00:03:50.03\00:03:54.66
WHOMEVER -- >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:03:54.66\00:03:55.83
>> -- JUST BE PRAYING FOR THEM,
AND SAY, OKAY, LORD, YOU KNOW,
00:03:55.83\00:03:59.73
THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT US, SO WE CAN
00:03:59.73\00:04:03.41
LET THE BROTHER OR
SISTER KNOW, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
00:04:03.41\00:04:07.34
WE'RE PRAYING FOR YOU, BUT WE'RE
NOT HERE TO CONDEMN YOU, BECAUSE
00:04:07.34\00:04:13.08
WHEN JESUS SAID GO AND
SIN NO MORE, BUT IT'S NOT OUR
00:04:13.08\00:04:17.52
RESPONSIBILITY, ALL WE
SAY IS WE CAN'T CONDEMN YOU.
00:04:17.52\00:04:21.59
WE'RE HUMANS.-WE
FAIL. WE MAKE MISTAKES.
00:04:21.59\00:04:25.39
BUT YOU SAID EARLIER, TO LOVE.
IT IS OUR JOB, WHAT WE D WITH
00:04:25.39\00:04:29.70
THE BABIES, WE LOVE
THEM. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:29.70\00:04:32.77
>> AND NO MATTER HOW DIRTY
THEY ARE WHEN YOU CHANGE THEIR
00:04:32.77\00:04:37.64
DIAPERS, AND IT'S A LITTLE BOY
AND IT GOES IN YOUR FACE, YOU
00:04:37.64\00:04:44.45
LOVE THEM, YOU DON'T SPANK THEM
OR GET ON THEM -- AND SPEAKING
00:04:44.45\00:04:48.78
OF BABIES, THE REASON THEY
CRY ALL THE TIME, I ALWAYS SAY,
00:04:48.78\00:04:55.76
BECAUSE THEY ARE SELFISH.
BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR WAY.
00:04:55.76\00:04:59.66
YOU WANT ATTENTION. THE
WHOLE WORLD IS ABOUT ME.
00:04:59.66\00:05:03.16
I'M HUNGRY, I WANT THIS, I
DON'T LIKE LAYING DOWN, WA.
00:05:03.16\00:05:08.67
SO I CRY ABOUT IT.
I DON'T LIKE THIS, WA.
00:05:08.67\00:05:11.74
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT,
MY WHOLE WORLD IS ABOUT ME.
00:05:11.74\00:05:15.14
BUT HONESTLY, THAT'S WHERE WE
ALL COME FROM, BECAUSE WE START
00:05:15.14\00:05:19.15
THAT WAY, WE'RE BORN INTO SIN,
AND IT'S ONLY WHEN WE FIND THAT
00:05:19.15\00:05:24.09
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, WE
CAN TURN LOSE OF ALL OF THAT AND
00:05:24.09\00:05:28.22
REALIZE THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME,
THIS IS ABOUT A LOVING GOD -WHO
-- WHO LOVED US ENOUGH THAT
00:05:28.22\00:05:33.93
HE CREATED JUST MADE A
PLAN -- GOD HAD MADE A PLAN OF
00:05:33.93\00:05:39.40
SALVATION TO RESTORE SINFUL
FALLEN MAN WHO LEFT ALONE WOULD
00:05:39.40\00:05:46.01
SELF DESTRUCT, AND TO SAVE
US, GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY.
00:05:46.01\00:05:49.31
HOW DID HE DO THAT?-pLET'S
SEE WRITE SO MANY THINGS ON THE
00:05:49.31\00:05:56.12
WALL? GO DO SO
MANY PENANCES? NO.
00:05:56.12\00:05:59.52
GOD SAID I'LL SEND MY SON.
JESUS OBVIOUSLY SAYS, I'LL COME
00:05:59.52\00:06:04.36
DOWN. I'LL PAY THE PRICE FOR THE
00:06:04.36\00:06:06.83
ATONEMENT OF SIN.
I'LL GIVE MY LIFE.
00:06:06.83\00:06:10.13
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE -- WE -- WE
REALLY DON'T KNOW -- WE THINK WE
00:06:10.13\00:06:14.57
DO, BUT ONLY WHEN WE GET TO
HEAVEN WILL WE FULLY UNDERSTAND
00:06:14.57\00:06:18.47
THAT GREAT PLAN OF
SALVATION. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:18.47\00:06:21.18
>> BUT WE GET TO THAT POINT, AND
WE SAY, WOW, THIS IS AMAZING,
00:06:21.18\00:06:25.31
GOD LOVES ME ENOUGH -- HE COULD
HAVE JUST DESTROYED ALL OF US.
00:06:25.31\00:06:29.22
THAT'S WHY I'M NOT GOD, IF I
HAD SEEN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
00:06:29.22\00:06:34.36
AFTER SEEING EVERYBODY KILLING
EACH OTHER, DOING ALL OF THIS
00:06:34.36\00:06:37.69
STUFF, AND WORSHIPPING OTHER
GODS, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY SAID
00:06:37.69\00:06:41.66
WELL, SO MUCH FOR YOU.
THAT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT GOD, BUT
00:06:41.66\00:06:46.17
GOD IN HIS LOVE FOR FALLEN MAN,
SAID I'M GOING TO MAKE A WAY FOR
00:06:46.17\00:06:50.84
THOSE WHO WANT TO BE SAVED,
YOU CAN DO IT, BUT THEN WE AS
00:06:50.84\00:06:55.11
CHRISTIANS WHO ARE TEACHING
LITTLE JOHNNY TO BE GOOD, WE SAY
00:06:55.11\00:06:58.58
TO -- TO JOHNNY IS, BE GOOD, OR
WE SAY TO JOHNNY, YOU ARE SEVEN
00:06:58.58\00:07:04.55
YEARS OLD NOW, GO TO THE ALTER
AND GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS,
00:07:04.55\00:07:07.96
AND NOW YOU ARE OKAY.
I MET A -- I USED TO -- I
00:07:07.96\00:07:11.16
DID -- WHEN I WAS A
CARPENTER, I MET A MAN.
00:07:11.16\00:07:15.10
WE WERE BUILDING A LITTLE CHURCH
FOR MIKE ATKINS BY THE WAY, MY
00:07:15.10\00:07:21.27
BROTHER AND I IN THE EARLY '80S.
MIKE IS A SINGER, MAYBE WATCHING
00:07:21.27\00:07:25.44
NOW. AND THERE
WAS A GUY WHO USED TO
00:07:25.44\00:07:27.48
COME AND TALK TO
US ALL OF THE TIME.
00:07:27.48\00:07:30.68
AND HE WOULD ALWAYS COME OUT OF
THE BAR AND TALK TO US, AND HE
-ALWAYS WANTED TO TALK ABOUT
00:07:30.68\00:07:36.62
BEING A CHRISTIAN, AND HE
WAS SAVED, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
00:07:36.62\00:07:42.82
AND WANTED TO KNOW WHERE WE WERE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, AND I
00:07:42.82\00:07:48.80
SAID YOU ARE IN THE BAR.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?
00:07:48.80\00:07:53.77
HE SAID I WITNESS TO PEOPLE.
I SAID THAT'S GREAT, BECAUSE
00:07:53.77\00:07:59.07
SOMETIMES THEY MUST BE SPILLING
STUFF ON YOU, BECAUSE YOUR
00:07:59.07\00:08:03.55
BREATH SMELLS LIKE
ALCOHOL. AND HE SAID I DRINK.
00:08:03.55\00:08:06.92
HE EVEN SAID I HAVE RUN AROUND
A LITTLE BIT ON MY WIFE, I HAVE,
00:08:06.92\00:08:12.02
AND HE SAID I'M IN THERE
WITNESSING TO THOSE PEOPLE
00:08:12.02\00:08:16.62
TELLING THEM THEY NEED TO GET
SAVED BECAUSE OUR CHURCH IS JUST
00:08:16.62\00:08:20.13
DOWN THE ROAD. HE
ACTUALLY SAID THAT.
00:08:20.13\00:08:23.40
AND I SAID, WELL, WHAT IS
DIFFERENT ABOUT YOU THAN ALL OF
00:08:23.40\00:08:27.94
THE PEOPLE YOU ARE WITNESSING
TO, BECAUSE THEY ARE SMOKING,
00:08:27.94\00:08:32.87
DRINKING, RUNNING AROUND, WHAT
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU
00:08:32.87\00:08:36.11
AND THEM, HE SAID WHEN I WAS
SEVEN YEARS OLD, I GAVE MY LIFE
00:08:36.11\00:08:40.88
TO JESUS, SO I'M
SAVED, AND THEY ARE NOT.
00:08:40.88\00:08:44.29
>> THAT'S JUST LEGALISM.
I'M SAVED BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID.
00:08:44.29\00:08:48.06
NOT BECAUSE OF WH I KNOW OR
WHO HAS MY HEAR, NOT BECAUSE
00:08:48.06\00:08:52.26
THERE'S ANY KIND OF
SAVING RELATIONSHIP, BUT I DID
00:08:52.26\00:08:56.40
SOMETHING, AND THAT GOT ME
SALVATION, AND THAT'S -- YOU
00:08:56.40\00:08:59.17
KNOW, IT'S EVERYWHERE, IT'S
THERE MANY, MANY, MANY DIFFERENT
00:08:59.17\00:09:05.01
RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS, WHERE
WE RELY ON NOT CHRIST AND HIS
00:09:05.01\00:09:09.88
PRESENCE AND POWER IN THEIR
LIFE, BUT IN US, AND WHAT WE
00:09:09.88\00:09:12.85
HAVE DONE, WHAT
WE DO, THAT'S DEADLY.
00:09:12.85\00:09:16.18
>> AMEN. WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE SOME MUSIC
00:09:16.18\00:09:18.72
RIGHT NOW, AND I FOUND OUT THT
WE MAY BE HAVING TROUBLE WITH
00:09:18.72\00:09:22.52
OUR PHONES RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU
CAN STILL EMAIL US AT I THINK
00:09:22.52\00:09:28.73

NATALIA NESTERUK WHO
00:09:34.90\00:09:37.57
IS GOING TO SING "SAVIOR CAME."

>> BEAUTIFUL.
GIVE HER NAME AGAIN.
00:14:47.82\00:14:50.69
>> NATALIA NESTERUK. I
LIKE THAT, IT HAS LIKE A
00:14:50.69\00:14:54.09
LITTLE ROLLE THING. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:14:54.09\00:14:56.09
>> YEAH. WELL, SHE
SPEAKS SPANISH, SO SHE
00:14:56.09\00:14:59.89
IS GOOD WITH THE ROLLS.
THAT TYPE OF THING, SHE CAN DO
00:14:59.89\00:15:04.43
THAT. >> YEAH.
00:15:04.43\00:15:05.07
>> WE HAVE BEEN
HAVING A GREAT TIME HERE.
00:15:05.07\00:15:07.64
HOPE -- HOPEFULLY LEARNING.
WE NEVER GET TOO OLD TO LEARN,
00:15:07.64\00:15:12.31
SO I CAN SAY THAT BEING OLD, BUT
WHAT A PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU ARE
00:15:12.31\00:15:17.08
BRINGING. NOT A
LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE
00:15:17.08\00:15:20.48
WILLING TO STAND UP AND SAY
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SAY,
00:15:20.48\00:15:24.02
BECAUSE WITHIN THE
CHURCH -- WHEN I WAS IN MY EARLY
00:15:24.02\00:15:27.36
30S, I WROTE WAS A SONG, AND I
WAS READING THE BIBLE, AND I WAS
00:15:27.36\00:15:32.93
EXCITED, BECAUSE I REALLY HAD
FOUND A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
00:15:32.93\00:15:36.20
AND I WROTE THE SONG "I AM
SAVED," IT WAS THE SHORTEST
00:15:36.20\00:15:43.54
PLAYED SONG I EVER DID, BECAUSE
PEOPLE GOT UPSET ABOUT IT.
00:15:43.54\00:15:49.18
I SAID I'M EITHER SAVED OR LOST,
IF JESUS CAME TODAY, I'M EITHER
00:15:49.18\00:15:57.42
GOING TO BE SAVED OR LOST, SO I
PREFER TO BELIEVE I'M SAVED, NOT
00:15:57.42\00:16:03.06
BY MY WORKS, BUT BY GOD. IT'S
THE SAME WAY ABOUT -pEXERCISING
00:16:03.06\00:16:08.86
FAITH. PEOPLE SAY YOU HAVE
SO MUCH FAITH IN ALL OF THESE
00:16:08.86\00:16:12.50
MIRACLES. AND I SAY, NO, I'M
EXERCISING THE FAITH OF JESUS.
00:16:12.50\00:16:17.31
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH IS WHEN
YOU ASK JESUS INTO YOUR HEART
00:16:17.31\00:16:20.51
AND JESUS TAKES OVER CONTROL
OF YOUR LIFE, YOUR MINE, YOUR
00:16:20.51\00:16:25.05
HEART, YOUR
SOUL, THEN IT'S ON HIM.
00:16:25.05\00:16:27.15
>> IT IS. >> SO NOW
WE'RE NOT CONSTANTLY
00:16:27.15\00:16:30.85
SAYING I DIDN'T DO THIS -- I
CAN'T DO THIS -- I CAN'T WATCH
00:16:30.85\00:16:34.22
THIS -- I CAN'T DO -- YOU
DON'T WANT TO DO CERTAIN THINGS,
00:16:34.22\00:16:38.76
BECAUSE YOU ARE SO
FULL OF THE LOVE OF JESUS.
00:16:38.76\00:16:41.43
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. I
HAVEN'T TYPICALLY HAD TOO MANY
00:16:41.43\00:16:45.77
ORGANIZATIONS ASKING
FOR THINGS THAT I SAID.
00:16:45.77\00:16:48.44
SOMETIMES A PASTOR WILL PREACH
AND WHEN HE LEAVES THERE IS A
00:16:48.44\00:16:52.31
RIOT. BUT ONE
TIME I HEARD THE DRUMS
00:16:52.31\00:16:54.41
WERE BEATING. WE CAN'T
HAVE THIS GUY BACK HERE
00:16:54.41\00:16:58.55
AGAIN. IT WAS
BECAUSE I SAID PEOPLE
00:16:58.55\00:17:00.52
OUGHT TO BE
CONFIDENT IN THEIR SALVATION.
00:17:00.52\00:17:05.99
I -- WE CAN'T
HAVE THT BROTHER BACK.
00:17:05.99\00:17:13.93
I UNDERSTAND SOMETHING WROTE IN
CHRIST'S OBJECT LESSONS THAT WE
00:17:13.93\00:17:17.67
SHOULD NEVER SAY WE'RE SAVED.
BUT YOU HAVE TO READ IT IN
00:17:17.67\00:17:21.54
CONTEXT. IN THAT
AUTHOR WAS SAYING DON'T
00:17:21.54\00:17:23.24
EVER SAY THAT YOU CAN'T BE LOST.
DON'T EVER SAY THAT YOU ARE
00:17:23.24\00:17:27.78
BEYOND THE REACH OF TEMPTATION.
THAT'S A DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION.
00:17:27.78\00:17:32.15
WE MEAN WE'RE IN SAVING
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
00:17:32.15\00:17:35.78
WE POSSESSION THE
GIFT OF SALVATION NOW.
00:17:35.78\00:17:38.79
>> I HAVE LOOKED
AT THAT IN THE PAST.
00:17:38.79\00:17:41.59
I THINK IT WAS THE COUNTERACT
THE ONE SAY ALWAYS SAY.
00:17:41.59\00:17:45.33
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
WE SHOULD NEVER SAY ONCE SAVE,
00:17:45.33\00:17:50.40
ALWAYS SAVED. I CANNOT GET LOST.
00:17:50.40\00:17:53.23
BUT WE SHOULDN'T LOOK AT
SALVATION LIKE A REVOLVING DOOR.
00:17:53.23\00:18:03.01
THE FURTHER YOU GET IN YOUR
GROWTH WITH JESUS, YOU'LL HIT
00:18:03.01\00:18:06.41
YOUR THUMB WITH THE HAMMER AND
YOU'LL SEE, OH, JESUS HELP ME,
00:18:06.41\00:18:12.55
THAT -- THAT HURT. YOU
ARE NOT GOING TO TURN THE
00:18:12.55\00:18:16.32
AIR BLUE,
BECAUSE YOU ARE GROWING.
00:18:16.32\00:18:18.53
SO WE -- WE AGREE, AND
WE ARE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS.
00:18:18.53\00:18:22.70
THE DEAD LEAVES OUGHT TO FALL
OFF OF THE TREE WITH THE NEW
00:18:22.70\00:18:28.84
LIFE. IT IS ABOUT
TIME FOR THE SAP TO
00:18:28.84\00:18:31.51
START RUNNING THROUGH THE TREES.
AND EVEN NOW WHERE I LIVE IN THE
00:18:31.51\00:18:36.44
CHATTANOOGA AREA, THERE ARE BUGS
AND GREEN LEAVES, BUT THERE WERE
00:18:36.44\00:18:42.82
STILL SOME OF THE DEAD
LEAVES HANGING ON THE TREE, WHAT
00:18:42.82\00:18:48.49
HAPPENS IS THE NEW LIFE WILL
START SHOOTING THROUGH THE TREE
00:18:48.49\00:18:53.93
AND THE DEAD
LEAVES WILL BE PUSHED OFF.
00:18:53.93\00:18:56.30
>> YES. SO WHAT IS THE ROLE THAT
00:18:56.30\00:18:59.13
SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES PLAY IN
THE WHOLE RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH
00:18:59.13\00:19:05.24
CONSTRUCT? IN
OTHER WORDS, PRAYER, AND
00:19:05.24\00:19:11.18
BIBLE STUDY, AND SPENDING
TIME ALONE WITH THE LORD.
00:19:11.18\00:19:14.38
HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH, OR DOES
00:19:14.38\00:19:17.22
IT? >> OH, IT ABSOLUTELY DOES.
00:19:17.22\00:19:20.22
IT DOESN'T PLAY
INTO THE TRANSACTION.
00:19:20.22\00:19:24.49
TO USE AN EXTREME EXAMPLE.
THE DRUNK WHO WAKES UP IN THE
00:19:24.49\00:19:28.43
GUTTER, AND HE IS COVERED IN
VOMIT, AND HE REEKS OF ALCOHOL,
00:19:28.43\00:19:33.60
AND HIS HEAD IS POUNDING,
AND HE SAYS WHAT A FOOL.
00:19:33.60\00:19:38.91
I REMEMBER
SABBATH SCHOOL AS A CHILD.
00:19:38.91\00:19:42.41
I REMEMBER PASTOR
RODRIGUEZ'S SERMONS.
00:19:42.41\00:19:46.51
I REMEMBER MY MOTHER
AND DADDY PRAYING FOR ME.
00:19:46.51\00:19:50.82
JESUS PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
THAT PERSON, WE BELIEVE, HAS
00:19:50.82\00:19:56.96
RECEIVED THE GIFT OF SALVATION.
THE VILEST OFFENDER WHO TRULY
00:19:56.96\00:20:02.83
BELIEVES THAT MOMENT FROM JESUS
APART AND RECEIVES, PRAISE THE
00:20:02.83\00:20:05.50
LORD -- >> YEAH.
00:20:05.50\00:20:06.57
>> WE SING IT, SO
WE OUGHT TO BELIEVE IT.
00:20:06.57\00:20:11.47
[ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT
IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:20:11.47\00:20:14.28
JESUS, YOU ARE NOT HAVING A
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS IN THERE
00:20:14.28\00:20:20.85
IS NOT COMMUNICATION. IF
YOU DON'T EAT, YOU ARE GOING
00:20:20.85\00:20:23.79
TO GET HUNGY, THEN
YOU ARE GOING TO GET WEAK.
00:20:23.79\00:20:26.96
THEN YOU ARE GOING TO GET SICK,
AND THEN YOU WILL DIE, SIMPLY
00:20:26.96\00:20:30.63
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EAT.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DEAD MEN
00:20:30.63\00:20:34.20
AND WOMEN WALKING EVEN IN THE
CHURCH TODAY, THAT HAVN'T BEEN
00:20:34.20\00:20:38.17
FEEDING ON THE WORD OF GOD.
MAN SHOULD NOT LIVE BY BREAD
00:20:38.17\00:20:43.51
ALONE, BUT BY EVERY
WORD. WE FEED ON THIS.
00:20:43.51\00:20:46.51
SO WE RECEIVE GOD THROUGH PRAYER
AND OUR STUDY OF THE BIBLE,
00:20:46.51\00:20:50.28
THROUGH OUR
MEDITATING ON THE SCRIPTURES.
00:20:50.28\00:20:53.58
JESUS COMES INTO OUR LIFE
THE MORE -- AS YOU ARE ACTIVE IN
00:20:53.58\00:20:58.62
SERVICE WITH GOD, AS YOU --
AS YOU SPEND YOU RECEIVE, THE
00:20:58.62\00:21:02.42
SPIRIT OF GOD FLOWS IN
AND FLOODS INTO YOUR LIFE.
00:21:02.42\00:21:06.59
SO AS WE ARE THE LEAST
BIT SERIOUS ABOUT HAVING A
00:21:06.59\00:21:10.93
SUCCESSFULLY RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS, TAKING TIME TO PRAY IS
00:21:10.93\00:21:15.24
JUST SO, SO IMPORTANT.
ANYONE WHO HAS MARRIED
00:21:15.24\00:21:18.57
UNDERSTANDS WITHOUT
COMMUNICATION, THE RELATIONSHIP
00:21:18.57\00:21:21.11
FALLS APART. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
00:21:21.11\00:21:23.88
ISN'T IT FASCINATING THAT
THE THINGS GOD GAVE US FOR OUR
00:21:23.88\00:21:27.92
SPIRITUAL SALVATION
ARE THE SIMPLE THINGS.
00:21:27.92\00:21:30.09
BROTHER DANNY, IN ORDER TO
BE SAVED ONCE A WEEK, YOU MUST
00:21:30.09\00:21:36.42
CLIMB MOUNT
EVEREST. HE DIDN'T SAY THAT.
00:21:36.42\00:21:40.10
BAREFOOT WITHOUT OXYGEN.
COME ON, LORD, THAT'S TOO MUCH.
00:21:40.10\00:21:44.30
HE SAYS LET'S MEET TOGETHER ONCE
IN THE MORNING, AND ONCE IN THE
00:21:44.30\00:21:48.54
EVENING, AND THROUGHOUT THE
DAY,-LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH. I HAVE
WRITTEN 66 BOOKS FOR YOU.
00:21:48.54\00:21:55.58
HOW ABOUT YOU READ
AND FEED ON THE WORD.
00:21:55.58\00:21:58.05
IF YOU CAN'T READ, LISTEN.
PEOPLE CAN LISTEN TO THE BIBLE.
00:21:58.05\00:22:01.22
IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, HAVE
SOMEONE ELSE READ IT TO YOU.
00:22:01.22\00:22:04.95
THAT'S A SIMPLE THING.
READ, TALK, IF THERE IS
00:22:04.95\00:22:08.92
SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR VOCAL
CHORDS, YOU CAN PRAY IN YOUR
00:22:08.92\00:22:14.93
MIND. I'M SO GLAD
YOU MENTIONED THAT.
00:22:14.93\00:22:17.53
GOD -- WE MUST KEEP IN TOUCH
WITH GOD, AND GOD WANTS US TO
00:22:17.53\00:22:21.84
KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HIM.
SIMPLE THINGS, PRAYER AND
00:22:21.84\00:22:25.37
READING THE BIBLE, AND STUDYING
THE BIBLE, AND DIGGING INTO THE
00:22:25.37\00:22:31.01
WORD OF GOD. THERE
IS A FASCINATING PASSAGE
00:22:31.01\00:22:35.58
IN THE BIBLE. JOHN
3:16, GOD SO LOVED THE
00:22:35.58\00:22:39.92
WORLD THAT HE GAVE IT
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
00:22:39.92\00:22:44.49
THEY CALL IT THE BEST
KNOWN VERSE IN THE BIBLE.
00:22:44.49\00:22:48.30
IN THAT VERSE WA
SPOKEN TO NICODEMUS.
00:22:48.30\00:23:00.88
NICODEMUS CAME TO JESUS ONE
NIGHT, AND HE WAS BLOWING SMOKE.
00:23:00.88\00:23:04.71
AND JESUS SAID, LISTEN, MY
BROTHER, YOU NEED TO BE BORN
00:23:04.71\00:23:08.18
AGAIN. SO HE
GOES DOWN THIS ROAD.
00:23:08.18\00:23:10.72
HOW DO THAT HAPPEN?
JESUS SAID, WATER AND THE
00:23:10.72\00:23:19.89
SPIRIT. HE UNDERSTOOD THAT.
00:23:19.89\00:23:21.53
WATER BAPTISM AND
CONVERSION. HE UNDERSTOOD THAT.
00:23:21.53\00:23:26.53
BUT HE KIND OF -- HE KIND OF
PLAYED DUMB, I THINK YOU COULD
00:23:26.53\00:23:31.24
SAY, AND SO JESUS WAS TRYING
TO HELP NICODEMUS UNDERSTAND
00:23:31.24\00:23:37.78
CONVERSION. AND WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:23:37.78\00:23:40.35
RIGHT BEFORE JOHN 3:16, RIGHT
BEFORE, HE SAYS THIS, AND AS
00:23:40.35\00:23:48.32
MOSES LIFTED UP THE SERPENT IN
THE WILDERNESS, EVEN SO MUCH THE
00:23:48.32\00:23:53.76
SON OF MAN BE LIFTED UP. >> HUM.
00:23:53.76\00:23:57.03
>> HUM. >> SO
JESUS -- REMEMBER THE
00:23:57.03\00:24:00.24
QUESTION, RIGHT BEFORE
GOD -- REMEMBER THE QUESTION.
00:24:00.24\00:24:04.24
HOW AM I TO BE BORN AGAIN?
AND JESUS SAYS, REMEMBER THAT
00:24:04.24\00:24:09.38
STORY? REMEMBER THAT STORY?
00:24:09.38\00:24:12.68
NOW WE DON'T OFTEN -- WE DON'T
OFTEN HEAR THAT STORY TALKED
00:24:12.68\00:24:17.15
ABOUT. RIGHT
BEFORE THE MOST BELOVED
00:24:17.15\00:24:19.55
VERSE IN THE BIBLE, JESUS
REFERENCES THIS ODD BALL LITTLE
00:24:19.55\00:24:23.93
THINGS THAT HAPPENED BACK
IN NUMBERS 21, AND HE IS SAYING
00:24:23.93\00:24:28.13
REMEMBER THAT, THAT WHO SO EVER
BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT
PARISH-BUT HAVE EVER-LASTING
00:24:28.13\00:24:34.84
LIFE. EVEN AS MOSES LIFTED UP
THOR IS PEN, THE SON OF MAN MUST
00:24:34.84\00:24:43.31
BE LIFTED UP TO
NOT PARISH BUT LIVE.
00:24:43.31\00:24:48.42
THEY WERE WONDERING THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS COMPLAINING.
00:24:48.42\00:24:53.15
AND THE COMPLAINING GOT SO BAD.
WHY DID YOU BING US OUT HERE TO
00:24:53.15\00:24:59.03
DIE? HAD THEY
FORGOTTEN WHAT THEY HAD
00:24:59.03\00:25:02.80
COME FROM?
SLAVERY OF THE WORST KIND.
00:25:02.80\00:25:08.20
KIND YOUR OWN
STRAW FOR THE BRICKS.
00:25:08.20\00:25:10.31
MAKE MORE. IT WAS
TERRIBLE, AND THEY SAID
00:25:10.31\00:25:14.54
WE'RE WORSE OFF OUT HERE
THAN WE WERE BACK IN EGYPT.
00:25:14.54\00:25:17.18
HOW QUICKLY WE
FORGET. >> UH-HUH.
00:25:17.18\00:25:19.88
>> AND THEN THEY SAID, WE DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT, AND WE
00:25:19.88\00:25:26.05
HATE THIS MANNA GOD GIVES
US. SO GOD HAD TO GET THEIR
00:25:26.05\00:25:31.23
ATTENTION OFF OF THEMSELVES,
AND ON TO HIM AND THE BEAUTY OF
00:25:31.23\00:25:38.40
SALVATION. HE
ALLOWED VENOMOUSER IS
00:25:38.40\00:25:44.81
SURPANTS TO COME AND THEY
STARTED TO BITE THE PEOPLE, AND
00:25:44.81\00:25:47.44
THEY WERE DIEING, AND THEY
CALLED OUT TO MOSES, AND MOSES
00:25:47.44\00:25:51.61
WENT TO GOD, AND GOD SAID MAKE A
SNAKE OUT OF BRASS AND PUT IT ON
00:25:51.61\00:25:57.85
A POLE, SO THAT
ANYONE WHO LOOKS WILL LIVE.
00:25:57.85\00:26:02.59
>> HUM. >> AND THIS WAS JESUS
00:26:02.59\00:26:05.56
REFERENCING THAT STORY,
EXPLAINING TO NICODEMUS WHAT IT
00:26:05.56\00:26:10.10
MEANS TO BE BORN
AGAIN. ISN'T IT INTERESTING?
00:26:10.10\00:26:13.60
NOW I SAY THIS WITH
RESPECT -- AND I'M NOT WANTING
00:26:13.60\00:26:16.20
TO BE AN EXTREMIST. WE
LOVE THE BIBLE, WE LOVE THE
00:26:16.20\00:26:19.64
TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE, WE LOVE
THE DOCTRINES OF THE CHURCH, WE
00:26:19.64\00:26:23.01
BELIEVE IN THEM, WE BELIEVE
PEOPLE OUGHT TO LIVE LIVES FOR
00:26:23.01\00:26:28.15
THE GLORY OF GOD,
NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
00:26:28.15\00:26:32.69
BUT HOW DOES ALL
OF THIS COME ABOUT?
00:26:32.69\00:26:34.99
AND THE REASON -- I TELL YOU
WHAT, BROTHER DANNY, THE MORE I
00:26:34.99\00:26:40.20
TRAVEL, THE MORE PLACES I GO,
THE MORE PEOPLE I RUN INTO, THE
00:26:40.20\00:26:44.43
MORE I COME TO REALIZE THAT
GOD'S PEOPLE NEED LESS OF DEEP
00:26:44.43\00:26:50.04
THEOLOGY -- AND I
MEAN NO DISRESPECT.
00:26:50.04\00:26:53.78
>> I UNDERSTAND. >>
AND MORE OF THE TRULY DEEP
00:26:53.78\00:26:57.18
THEOLOGY, THE
SIGNS OF SALVATION.
00:26:57.18\00:26:59.75
HOW A PERSON CAN HAVE
ASSURANCE OF EVER-LASTING LIFE.
00:26:59.75\00:27:04.49
HOW A PERSON CAN KNOW
THEIR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
00:27:04.49\00:27:08.42
YOU WILL MEET SOMEBODIES
IN THEIR 70S, AND THEY ARE NOT
00:27:08.42\00:27:12.86
SWEATING THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
THEY ARE LOOKING BACK OVER THEIR
00:27:12.86\00:27:17.30
LIVES BECAUSE THEY JUST WENT TO
THE DOCTOR, AND THE DOCTOR SAI,
00:27:17.30\00:27:20.87
WE SEE A SHADOW, AND WE NEED
TO DO A BIOPSY, AND NOW THEY ARE
00:27:20.87\00:27:27.91
SAYING, I MAY DIE. AND
THEN THEY START TO SAY, AM I
00:27:27.91\00:27:32.41
RIGHT WITH  GOD? THEY
SHOULD BE SAYING, WHATEVER
00:27:32.41\00:27:40.09
THAT SHADOW IS, IT'S
OKAY. I'M OKAY WITH GOD
00:27:40.09\00:27:45.79
BUT THEY ARE NOT SAYING WHAT
DO THE -- WHAT DO THE PILLARS
00:27:45.79\00:27:50.27
OF -- IN THE -- AROUND THE
HEAVENLY SANCTUARY REPRESENT, I
00:27:50.27\00:27:56.74
HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT
OUT, I'M SO DESPERATE.
00:27:56.74\00:28:00.51
AND I'M NOT AGAINST THAT.
THERE IS GOOD MEAT IN THOSE
00:28:00.51\00:28:04.78
STUDIES, BUT THEY ARE NOT SAYING
JUST A MINUTE, WAS IT 457 BC?
00:28:04.78\00:28:11.65
OH, MY GOODNESS. I HAVE
TO FIGURE THAT OUT BEFORE
00:28:11.65\00:28:18.23
I DIE. BUT I'M
FINDING MORE AND MORE
00:28:18.23\00:28:21.70
AND MORE WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS
THE ROAD IS PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW
00:28:21.70\00:28:26.63
THAT THEY CAN LOOK AND LIVE.
SO, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE
00:28:26.63\00:28:32.47
SAYING BRADSHAW SAYS IT'S NOT
ABOUT HOW YOU BEHAVE, SO IT'S AN
00:28:32.47\00:28:39.68
EASY PATH TO HEAVEN.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.
00:28:39.68\00:28:43.59
AND PEOPLE WHO LOVE GOD KNOW
THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING, AND
00:28:43.59\00:28:46.89
IF THEY ARE TAKING TIME TO PRAY
AND READ YOU KNOW, SIN HURTS
00:28:46.89\00:28:53.09
THE SINNER MORE THAN ANYBODY.
YOU SAY SOMETHING CARELESS TO
00:28:53.09\00:29:03.57
SOMEBODY, THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY PUT A KNIFE IN THEM.
00:29:03.57\00:29:07.91
OH, NO, DID I REALLY
SAY THAT TO MY SPOUSE?
00:29:07.91\00:29:16.42
I WANT TO JOKE AND SAY MY
WIFE SAYS THAT ALL THE TIME.
00:29:16.42\00:29:22.09
[ LAUGHTER ] >> HOW
COULD I BE SO UNKIND?
00:29:22.09\00:29:24.99
I'M LOOKING AND LIVING, BUT
WHEN YOU SEE JESUS, IT MAKES THE
00:29:24.99\00:29:30.60
STING OF SIN
SHARPER, NOT DULLER.
00:29:30.60\00:29:34.17
SHARPER. WHEN
YOU LOOK -- YOU SEE A
00:29:34.17\00:29:37.47
SAVIOR ON A CROSS. WHEN
YOU LOOK YOU SEE SOMEBODY
00:29:37.47\00:29:40.34
GOING AROUND DOING GOOD.
YOU SEE SOMEBODY FRATERNIZING
00:29:40.34\00:29:47.48
WITH THE SINNERS IN
ORDER TO LIFT THEM UP.
00:29:47.48\00:29:53.89
YOU DON'T LOOK AT JESUS --
AND SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW I
00:29:53.89\00:29:58.76
LIVE. YOU DON'T
LOOK AT JESUS AND FEEL
00:29:58.76\00:30:00.63
LIKE THAT. IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE.
00:30:00.63\00:30:03.57
YOU LOOK AT JESUS AND BELIEVE
IN THE POWER OF THIS CHRIST, AND
00:30:03.57\00:30:08.47
YOU LOOK TO HIM, AND THERE IS
LIFE IN JSUS -- YOU KNOW THOSE
00:30:08.47\00:30:13.11
PEOPLE WHO WERE DIEING
FROM SNAKEBITES, THEY RECOVERED.
00:30:13.11\00:30:21.02
WE HAVE ALL BEEN BITTEN BY SIN.
IN THAT SERPENT HAS BITTEN US.
00:30:21.02\00:30:29.19
SO WHAT DO WE DO? WE
WANT TO GET TO HEAEN.
00:30:29.19\00:30:32.59
WE LOOK TO JESUS, WHICH IS WHY
PAUL WROTE -- I BELIEVE IT PAUL
00:30:32.59\00:30:39.83
WHO WROTE IN THE HEBREWS LOOKING
UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND
00:30:39.83\00:30:50.21
FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.
>> WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THE
00:30:50.21\00:30:55.58
CHURCH, THERE WERE SOE FOLK
THAT CAME HERE FROM THE SOUTH,
00:30:55.58\00:30:59.79
AND THEY GAVE US THE BIGGEST
DONATION WE HAD TO BEGIN WITH.
00:30:59.79\00:31:05.63
AND THEY WOULD COME UP EVERY
FEW WEEKS WATCHING US BUILD THE
00:31:05.63\00:31:09.53
STATION, BUT I BEGAN TO HEAR
THEM WITH EACH OTHER AND THE
00:31:09.53\00:31:13.94
TALKING GOING BACK AND FORTH AND
HOW THE -- I HAVE LEARNED WHAT
00:31:13.94\00:31:19.21
THE WORD LEGALISM REALLY MEANT,
AND I THOUGHT, YET THEY ARE
00:31:19.21\00:31:23.21
GIVING MONEY AND REALLY
SUPPORTING, BUT THEY SEEM
00:31:23.21\00:31:26.88
EVERYTHING AS WHAT DID HE EAT,
WHAT DID HE -- SO THEY SAID WE
00:31:26.88\00:31:31.22
WANT YOU TO COME SEE OUR FOARM.
WE'RE GOING TO DONATE IT TO
00:31:31.22\00:31:40.23
3ABN, BUT ON ONE CONDITION THAT
NO ONE EATS ANY MEAT OR FISH.
00:31:40.23\00:31:45.47
THAT YOU NEVER
HAVE ANY FISH HERE.
00:31:45.47\00:31:49.00
AND I SAID WHY
WOULD YOU SAY THAT?
00:31:49.00\00:31:51.34
AND THEY SAID WE HEARD YOU
EAT FISH FROM TIME TO TIME.
00:31:51.34\00:31:58.88
SO WE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU, IT WAS
A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, YOU CAN HAVE
00:31:58.88\00:32:03.45
IT, IF YOU PROMISE YOU'LL NEVER
EAT FISH, AND I SAID, NO, I'M
00:32:03.45\00:32:08.26
NOT GOING TO PROMISE YOU THAT,
AND THEY SAY, WELL, WE'LL GIVE
00:32:08.26\00:32:14.63
IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I
SAID GIVE IT TO WHO YOU ANY
00:32:14.63\00:32:18.20
YOU SHOULD, BECAUSE WHAT I
SAW IN THAT -- I ASKED THEM WHY
00:32:18.20\00:32:22.64
NOT -- BUT SHE HAS BEEN A
LITERATURE OF EVANGELIST FOR 50
00:32:22.64\00:32:27.64
YEARS. HE HAD BEEN
A SCHOOL TEACHER FOR
00:32:27.64\00:32:30.61
50 YEARS. THEY
RETIRED, INVESTED IN
00:32:30.61\00:32:34.55
THINGS, AND HAD MONEY, SO THEY
WERE GOING TO AFRICA IN THEIR
00:32:34.55\00:32:38.92
70S, AND SHE GOT THE REPORT
THAT -- THE CANCER -- THAT SHE
00:32:38.92\00:32:43.09
WAS -- CANCER, AND SHE LOOKED
LIKE SHE WAS GOING TO DIE, AND
00:32:43.09\00:32:47.00
LATE 70S, SO THERE WAS A
MISSIONARY FROM EUROPE THAT
00:32:47.00\00:32:51.43
CAME -- I THINK IT WAS IRELAND,
THAT CAME OVER HERE, AND SHE
00:32:51.43\00:32:55.80
SAID HAVE YOU SEEN
AND GAVE THE WOMAN'S NAME?
00:32:55.80\00:32:59.41
AND I SAID NOT IN A WHILE.
AND SHE SAID I WENT DOWN TO SEE
00:32:59.41\00:33:03.75
HER, AND WHEN I DID, SHE SAID TO
ME, NOW KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO
00:33:03.75\00:33:09.78
DIE AND -- BUT I DON'T
THINK I'M GOING TO GO TO HEAVEN.
00:33:09.78\00:33:13.99
I DON'T THINK I'M SAVED.
AND HER HUSBAND SAID SHE DOESN'T
00:33:13.99\00:33:18.29
KNOW WHAT SHE IS TALKING
ABOUT, SHE HAD BEEN AN ED
00:33:18.29\00:33:32.67
A -- ADVENTIST FOR 50 YEARS.
AND SHE SAID, NO, I HAVE NO
00:33:32.67\00:33:38.55
ASSURANCE. SO THE
WOMAN ASKED THE WOMAN WHO
00:33:38.55\00:33:41.32
IS A MISSIONARY,
CAN YOU TAKE ME OUTSIDE.
00:33:41.32\00:33:45.45
SO SHE SAID SURE. I
TOOK HER OUTSIDE OVER THE
00:33:45.45\00:33:48.66
HUSBAND'S OBJECTIONS, AND WHEN
HE GOT OUTSIDE SHE GOT ON HER
00:33:48.66\00:33:53.63
HANDS AND KNEES AND
BEGAN TO PULL GRASS.
00:33:53.63\00:33:56.53
AND I SAID WHAT DID YOU DO?
AND SHE SAID I GOT DOWN ON MY
00:33:56.53\00:34:00.60
HANDS AND KNEES AND PULLED GRASS
WITH HER, AND SHE LOOKED OVER AT
00:34:00.60\00:34:05.84
ME AND SHE SAID I HAVE
NO ASSURANCE, I HAVE GIVEN
00:34:05.84\00:34:09.88
EVERYTHING, MY LIFE, I HAVE
TRIED TO BE GOOD, AND TRIED TO
00:34:09.88\00:34:12.65
DO ALL OF THE
WORKS THAT I COULD.
00:34:12.65\00:34:15.78
MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE GIVEN
NEARLY EVERYTHING WE OWN FOR
00:34:15.78\00:34:21.96
SALVATION, AND SHE SAID I JUS
SEE DARKNESS.-AND SHE SAID LET
00:34:21.96\00:34:28.73
ME TELL YOU A STORY, AND
TOLD HER THE SIMPLE PLAN OF
00:34:28.73\00:34:32.47
SALVATION. AND THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS THE WOMAN ASKED THAT I
00:34:32.47\00:34:36.54
COME TO THE SOUTH AND SING FOR
HER FUNERAL. THEY SAID, SHE GOT
00:34:36.54\00:34:40.01
WHERE SHE COULDN'T SPEAK.
THE HUSBAND WAS VERY UPSET, SHE
00:34:40.01\00:34:43.95
IS OUT OF HER MIND,
OF COURSE SHE IS SAVED.
00:34:43.95\00:34:46.92
BUT WHEN I GOT DOWN THERE, THEY
SAID, SHE WANTED US TO GIVE YOU
00:34:46.92\00:34:52.22
THIS, BECAUSE WHEN SHE COULDN'T
TALK, SHE HAD ASKED FOR A PENCIL
00:34:52.22\00:34:56.83
AND PAPER AND SAID
GIVE THIS TO BROTHER DANNY.
00:34:56.83\00:34:59.96
SHE SAID, NOW I BELONG TO
JESUS. NOW HE BELONGS TO ME.
00:34:59.96\00:35:05.90
AND LITTLE LIKE X'S
AND O'S. I LOVE JESUS.
00:35:05.90\00:35:10.67
JESUS LOVES ME. SHE
FOUND JESUS IN THE GRASS
00:35:10.67\00:35:13.24
CLOSE TO 80 YEARS OLD, THOUGH,
SHE HAD WORKED TO BE GOOD,
00:35:13.24\00:35:18.21
BROTHER JOHN ALL OF
HER LIFE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:35:18.21\00:35:21.52
>> AND THE
HUSBAND NEVER REALIZED IT.
00:35:21.52\00:35:24.99
AND SAID OF COURSE SHE IS SAVED,
BECAUSE WE HAVE WORKED FOR GOD
00:35:24.99\00:35:27.96
ALL OF OUR LIVES. AND
THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES IN MY
00:35:27.96\00:35:35.40
LIFE GROWING UP
THAT I FELT THAT WAY.
00:35:35.40\00:35:38.37
>> I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.
IT'S NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.
00:35:38.37\00:35:41.64
>> NO. >> I'M GOING TO READ FROM
00:35:41.64\00:35:48.11
PHILIPPINES 3. PAUL
WROTE TO THE PHILLIPIANS
00:35:48.11\00:35:51.85
AND HE SAID WE ARE THE
CIRCUMCISION THAT REJOICE IN THE
00:35:51.85\00:35:57.22
SPIRIT OF JESUS, AND WE
HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH.
00:35:57.22\00:36:01.22
AND HE SAID, THOUGH, I MIGHT
ALSO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE
00:36:01.22\00:36:06.43
FLESH. IF ANY
OTHER MAN THINKS HE HAS
00:36:06.43\00:36:09.60
TRUST IN THE FLESH, I MORE.
AND HE RECITES THIS LIST OF
00:36:09.60\00:36:18.11
VIRTURES. THEY AR
LIKE THE MEDICALS THAT
00:36:18.11\00:36:21.18
A SERVICEMAN OR WOMAN
MIGHT WEAR ON HIS CHEST.
00:36:21.18\00:36:30.02
YOU ARE THE HEBREW
OF HE BREWS HE SAID.
00:36:30.02\00:36:39.33
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
THE LAW, I WAS BLAMELESS.
00:36:39.33\00:36:43.06
YOUR FRIEND WAS BLAMELESS WHEN
IT CAME TO TH RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
00:36:43.06\00:36:46.60
THE LAW. BUT
WHAT GAINS CAME TO ME.
00:36:46.60\00:36:49.80
THESE I COUNTED LOST FOR CHRIST.
YAY DOUBTLESS I COUNT ALL OF
00:36:49.80\00:36:56.28
THESE THIGS BUT LOSS FOR THE
EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF
00:36:56.28\00:37:05.39
JESUS. THINK OF THAT.
00:37:05.39\00:37:06.42
WE HAVE THAT. WE HAVE
THAT KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS.
00:37:06.42\00:37:09.76
FROM WHOM I HAVE SUFFERED
THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS, AND I
00:37:09.76\00:37:13.80
[ INAUDIBLE ] REFUSE, THAT I MAY
WIN CHRIST AND BE FOUND IN HIM,
00:37:13.80\00:37:20.50
NOT HAVING MY OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS,
WHICH IS OF THE LAW, BUT THAT
00:37:20.50\00:37:25.17
WHICH IS THROUGH THE FAITH
OF CHRIST -- NOTICE THIS -- THE
00:37:25.17\00:37:30.55
RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH.
00:37:30.55\00:37:33.31
SO IF YOU WANT TO RAISE THE BAR,
PAUL SAYS THAT WHAT WE OUGHT TO
00:37:33.31\00:37:38.85
HAVE IS THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
00:37:38.85\00:37:41.86
>> UH-HUH. >> THAT'S SOME PRETTY
SERIOUS -RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WE
00:37:41.86\00:37:46.80
RECEIVE IT BY FAITH.
YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS, YOU
00:37:46.80\00:37:50.07
RECEIVE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
>> WE HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.
00:37:50.07\00:37:52.87
WE JUST HAVE TIME
FOR A FEW. >> OKAY.
00:37:52.87\00:37:55.44
LET'S RACE THROUGH THEM. >>
START WITH WHICHEVER ONE YOU
00:37:55.44\00:37:59.51
WANT. >> THIS
ONE SAYS HELP ME TO
00:37:59.51\00:38:02.14
UNDERSTAND MATTHEW 5:48.
EXPLAIN HOW WE ARE TO BE PERFECT
00:38:02.14\00:38:06.58
AS OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN?
IS THE BIBLICAL PERFECTION
00:38:06.58\00:38:11.95
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
THE DICTIONARY SAYS?
00:38:11.95\00:38:20.33
PLEASE EXPLAIN. >> HOW
ABOUT YOU JUST GIVE ME A
00:38:20.33\00:38:24.97
DIFFICULT ONE
INSTEAD. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:38:24.97\00:38:31.71
>> MY DEAR FRIENDS CAME TO OUR
WORKER'S MEETING ONE DAY, AND HE
00:38:31.71\00:38:36.54
SAYS IT MEANS WHAT IT
SAYS. IT MEANS WHAT IT SAYS.
00:38:36.54\00:38:40.45
OKAY, SO LISTEN, AM
I PERFECT? I AM NOT.
00:38:40.45\00:38:45.22
I AM NOT PHYSICALLY PERFECT, I
AM NOT EMOTIONALLY PERFECT, NOR
00:38:45.22\00:38:50.86
AM I MORALLY PERFECT.
I'M GROWING, BUT I'M NOT THE
00:38:50.86\00:38:55.66
COMPLETED
ARTICLE. CAN I BE PERFECT?
00:38:55.66\00:38:57.90
YES, I CAN. HOW?
00:38:57.90\00:38:59.43
I JUST READ, I HAVE THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.
00:38:59.43\00:39:03.37
IT IS PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
YOU CANNOT -- LOOK, IF I MAY RUN
00:39:03.37\00:39:09.48
THE RISK OF SOUNDING
BLASPHEMOUS, WHEN YOU RECEIVE
00:39:09.48\00:39:15.18
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD BY
FAITH, YOU AS RIGHTEOUSNESS AS
00:39:15.18\00:39:19.45
JESUS IS, BECAUSE IT
IS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:39:19.45\00:39:22.76
THERE ARE GRADES OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, BROTHER DAY IS
00:39:22.76\00:39:27.73
SLIGHTLY RIGHTEOUSNESS, SISTER
YVONNE IS MORE RIGHTEOUSNESS --
00:39:27.73\00:39:40.88
[ LAUGHTER ] >> CAN
YOU LIVE A LIFE WITHOUT
00:39:40.88\00:39:45.78
SINNING? YES, YOU CAN.
00:39:45.78\00:39:47.18
DO YOU LIVE A
LIFE WITHOUT SINNING?
00:39:47.18\00:39:49.48
LOOK, WHEN YOU START GOING DOWN
THAT ROAD, IT GETS REALLY DODGY,
00:39:49.48\00:39:53.99
BECAUSE YOU START
TRYING TO BE GOOD.
00:39:53.99\00:39:56.76
WE MUST -- OKAY.
TELL YOU ANOTHER STORY.
00:39:56.76\00:40:00.76
HERE I WAS WITH BIBLE WORKERS
AND I ASKED THEM TO RECONCILE
00:40:00.76\00:40:07.84
SALVATION BY GRACE THROUGH FATE
WITH STRIVE TO ENTER THE GATE.
00:40:07.84\00:40:15.11
AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO PUT THEM TOGETHER.
00:40:15.11\00:40:18.81
AND THIS SIX-YEAR-OLD BOY
SAID DADDY, I THINK I KNOW HOW.
00:40:18.81\00:40:24.12
I SAID ALL RIGHT, SON, OH, MY
GOODNESS, EXPLAIN THIS FOR US,
00:40:24.12\00:40:29.22
OH, WISE ONE. HE
SAID, DAD, I HAVE BEEN
00:40:29.22\00:40:33.66
LISTENING TO THE BOOK OF
CHRISTIANA, AND SHE IS ON HER
00:40:33.66\00:40:41.07
WAY TO THE CELESTIAL CITY,
AND SHE FEELS SHE WILL NEVER GET
00:40:41.07\00:40:46.88
THERE, BUT SOMEBODY SAYS TO HER,
YOU WILL BE OKAY AS LONG AS YOU
00:40:46.88\00:40:50.38
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE LIGHT.
AND MY SON SAID DADDY I THINK
00:40:50.38\00:40:55.88
WHAT JESUS IS TELLING US IN
THOSE VERSES IS THAT WE SHOULD
00:40:55.88\00:41:00.52
STRIVE TO KEEP
OUR EYES ON THE LIGHT.
00:41:00.52\00:41:02.62
SO HOW ARE YOU PERFECT?
YOU ARE TO BE PERFECT RIGHT NOW
00:41:02.62\00:41:06.03
IN CHRIST. YEAH,
BUT I HAVE AN OCCASIONAL
00:41:06.03\00:41:11.97
BAD TEMPER. ALL RIGHT.
00:41:11.97\00:41:18.07
REPENT AND TELL GOD YOU
NEED HELP, AND WHEN YOU HEAR IT
00:41:18.07\00:41:21.61
COMING, CRY OUT TO GO, AND
CHOOSE THAT WAY OF ESCAPE THAT
00:41:21.61\00:41:26.72
THE BIBLE PROMISES. SO
YOU ARE PERFECT IN CHRIST.
00:41:26.72\00:41:30.82
SO IS HE JUST SAYING
YOU SIN UNTIL YOU ARE SAVED?
00:41:30.82\00:41:35.19
NO, MAN. WHAT WORD
DID WE USE EARLIER,
00:41:35.19\00:41:39.56
SANCTIFICATION. BUT
IT'S THE WORK OF A LIFETIME.
00:41:39.56\00:41:42.53
WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
WE DESPAIR WHEN WE SIN.
00:41:42.53\00:41:46.43
WE APPEAL TO GOD, WE CRY OUT,
WE RECEIVE JESUS, WE GO AGAIN.
00:41:46.43\00:41:52.74
THE BIBLE PRESUPPOSES YOU WILL
FALL, IF ANY MAN SINS, WE HAVE
00:41:52.74\00:41:58.08
AN ADVOCATE. THE
BIBLE ALSO PRESUPPOSES WE'LL
00:41:58.08\00:42:02.78
EXPERIENCE VICTORY IN JESUS
CHRIST, SO THE ANSWER IS THIS,
00:42:02.78\00:42:05.85
YOU KEEP LOOKING TO JESUS.
YOU KEEP LOOKING TO JESUS.
00:42:05.85\00:42:10.26
LOOK AWAY FROM YOUR SIN, LOOK TO
JESUS, AND CONTINUE TO GROW IN
00:42:10.26\00:42:15.36
HIS GRACE. LET THAT
BE A CONTINUAL FOREVER
00:42:15.36\00:42:20.20
AND EVER AS LONG AS YOU
LIVE IN THIS WORLD EXPERIENCE.
00:42:20.20\00:42:23.34
>> WE HAVE GOT
ABOUT 14, 15 MINUTES.
00:42:23.34\00:42:27.24
WE HAVE SEVERAL, MAYBE WE CAN
GET TO SEVERAL QUESTIONS HERE.
00:42:27.24\00:42:30.85
BUT THIS IS VERY
INTERESTING. READ THIS PLEASE.
00:42:30.85\00:42:33.68
>> IT SAYS I DID SOMETHING, AND
I FEEL LIKE THE LORD IS LETTING
00:42:33.68\00:42:39.85
ME KNOW HOW WRONG
I WAS FOR DOING IT.
00:42:39.85\00:42:44.39
THINK PUT A CHECK IN THE MAILBOX
KNOWING IT SHOULD MAKE IT BY
00:42:44.39\00:42:50.73
SABBATH, NOW THE
CHECK IS MISSING.
00:42:50.73\00:42:53.64
I FEEL SO DIRTY. >> 1 JOHN 1:9.
00:42:53.64\00:43:03.98
I THINK A LITTLE
GUILT IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.
00:43:03.98\00:43:07.48
BUT DON'T WALLOW IN IT, IF YOU
BELIEVE YOU HAVE DONE WRONG, AND
00:43:07.48\00:43:11.42
THERE WOULD BE SOME WHO ARGUE
THAT WITH YOU, BUT IT'S YOUR
00:43:11.42\00:43:16.32
CONSCIENCE, GO TO GOD,
TELL HIM YOU ARE SORRY.
00:43:16.32\00:43:19.13
THEN TELL GOD, YOU BELIEVE THAT
HE FORGIVES YOU HAVE, AND THEN
00:43:19.13\00:43:24.43
TELL GOD. THANK YOU
THAT YOU HAVE FORGIVEN
00:43:24.43\00:43:28.34
ME. AND THEN GET
OFF YOUR KNEES AND
00:43:28.34\00:43:30.21
DON'T GIVE IT ANOTHER THOUGHT.
>> NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, NOT
00:43:30.21\00:43:35.44
NECESSARY JUST
WHAT IS BOTHERING HER --
00:43:35.44\00:43:37.51
>> EXACTLY.
OTHERWISE YOU ARE GOING TO BE
00:43:37.51\00:43:40.52
CRIPPLED BY
THIS UNHELPFUL GUILT.
00:43:40.52\00:43:43.89
LET YOUR CONSCIENCE SPEAK TO
YOU, AND SAID YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
00:43:43.89\00:43:47.76
DONE THAT, AND THEN SAY THANK
YOU HOLY SPIRIT FOR SPEAKING TO
00:43:47.76\00:43:51.99
ME.-JESUS KEEP ME AWAY FROM
WHATEVER THIS WAS, AND NOW I
00:43:51.99\00:43:56.56
REJOICE IN THE FORGIVENESS THAT
I HAVE. I DON'T BELIEVE GUILT IS
00:43:56.56\00:44:00.30
BAD. IF YOU DID SOMETHING
BAD, YOU OUGHT TO FEEL BAD.
00:44:00.30\00:44:03.64
>> THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS CONVICTING YOU.
00:44:03.64\00:44:05.54
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> HE
IS GOING TO LET YOU KNOW
00:44:05.54\00:44:07.81
THAT YOU HAVE FALLEN OFF
OF THE TRACK, BUT THAT DOESN'T
00:44:07.81\00:44:11.48
MEAN -- THERE
IS UNHEALTHY GUILT.
00:44:11.48\00:44:13.55
>> OH, YEAH, JUST
GET BACK ON THE TRACK.
00:44:13.55\00:44:16.85
>> YES. THIS WAS
A COMMENT, IT SAYS
00:44:16.85\00:44:20.69
KEEPING SABBATH IS WORK.
EXPLAIN MORE REGARDING KEEPING
00:44:20.69\00:44:25.09
IT HOLY. >>
ABSOLUTELY IT IS NOT WORK, IT
00:44:25.09\00:44:28.76
IS FAITH. JESUS
SAID IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP
00:44:28.76\00:44:31.80
ANY COMMANDMENTS. IF
YOU WERE TO SAY, I'LL KEEP
00:44:31.80\00:44:37.14
SUNDAY THAT WOULD BE WORKS,
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE YOU DOING
00:44:37.14\00:44:41.01
WHAT GOD HAS
NOT ASKED YOU TO DO.
00:44:41.01\00:44:43.41
WHEN YOU BELIEVE THE WORD OF
GOD -- REMEMBER ABRAHAM BELIEVED
00:44:43.41\00:44:48.68
GOD, THE SEVENTH DAY IS
THE SABBATH, I BELIEVE IT.
00:44:48.68\00:44:52.75
THAT FAITH. NOT WORKS.
00:44:52.75\00:44:55.62
THAT'S SALVATION BY FAITH.
IS NOT KILLING SOMEBODY WORKS?
00:44:55.62\00:45:01.50
I BET YOU DON'T THINK IT
IS? IS HONORING YOUR FATHER AND
00:45:01.50\00:45:05.33
MOTHER IS THAT WORKS?
NO, WE BELIEVE IN THAT.
00:45:05.33\00:45:09.34
LET'S NOT GET CONFUSED AND MAKE
THE SABBATH DIFFERENT THAN THE
00:45:09.34\00:45:13.11
OTHERS, BECAUSE YOU ARE ALLOWING
GOD'S WORD TO BE FULFILLED IN
00:45:13.11\00:45:16.64
YOUR LIFE. THAT'S
THE DEFINITION OF FAITH.
00:45:16.64\00:45:21.08
BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS IS
TRUTH, AND EXPECTING GOD TO DO
00:45:21.08\00:45:24.25
WHAT HE SAYS, THAT IS FAITH.
KEEPING THE SABBATH IS FAITH.
00:45:24.25\00:45:31.43
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT
WORKS. WHEN YOU START SAYING I
00:45:31.43\00:45:34.60
SHOULDN'T DO THIS OR THAT ON THE
SABBATH, THAT COULD BE WORKS.
00:45:34.60\00:45:39.63
IT COULD BE FAITH. ON
THE SABBATH, I DON'T GO
00:45:39.63\00:45:43.57
SHOPPING. I DON'T EAT OUT --
00:45:43.57\00:45:45.07
>> AND ARE YOU
DOING THAT BY WORKS?
00:45:45.07\00:45:47.78
>> I HOPE NOT. MY
BELIEF IS THAT I DO THESE
00:45:47.78\00:45:51.28
THINGS OUT OF LOVE FOR JESUS.
>> BECAUSE HE ASKED YOU TO SPEND
00:45:51.28\00:45:54.92
THAT TIME WITH
HIM. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:45:54.92\00:45:57.09
HE SAYS LET'S GO FOR A WALK.
JESUS SAYS I'M NOT GOING TO BE
00:45:57.09\00:46:02.26
AT THE
RESTAURANT ON THE SABBATH.
00:46:02.26\00:46:04.06
I'M NOT GOING TO BE
THERE. I WANT YOU TO BE WITH ME.
00:46:04.06\00:46:08.10
GREAT, I'LL BE WITH YOU.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN?
00:46:08.10\00:46:11.50
THAT'S NOT WORKS. THAT'S FAITH.
00:46:11.50\00:46:13.07
YOU ARE ALLOWING GOD'S
WILL TO BE DONE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:46:13.07\00:46:18.17
>> AND HE SAYS IF YOU LOVE
ME -- AND IF WE LOVE EACH OTHER.
00:46:18.17\00:46:23.35
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> DID
PASTOR BRADSHAW SAY THAT
00:46:23.35\00:46:30.15
JESUS IS SHEDDING
HIS BLOOD IN HEAVEN.
00:46:30.15\00:46:33.12
HOW CAN THAT BE? >>
HE IS PLEADING HIS BLOOD.
00:46:33.12\00:46:36.76
NOT SHEDDING HIS BLOOD.
THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT.
00:46:36.76\00:46:39.53
TO GIVE ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CLARIFY.
00:46:39.53\00:46:42.06
MAYBE I SAID SOMETHING --
>> I THINK YOU SAID PLEADING.
00:46:42.06\00:46:45.57
>> YEAH. >> THAT'S
GOOD TO CLEAR THAT UP.
00:46:45.57\00:46:48.77
>> THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH THAT
SHE THOUGHT YOU SAID SHEDDING --
00:46:48.77\00:46:51.97
>> NO, HE WILL NEVER
HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN.
00:46:51.97\00:46:55.31
>> ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL? >> YES.
00:46:55.31\00:46:58.88
ONCE FOR ALL. AMEN.
00:46:58.88\00:47:02.08
PLEASE EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP
HOW ONE MAKES A FULL COMPLETE
00:47:02.08\00:47:07.56
SURRENDER TO JESUS CHRIST,
PLEASE MAKE IT SIMPLE ENOUGH
00:47:07.56\00:47:10.03
THAT A CHILD COULD FOLLOW.
>> WELL, IT IS SO SIMPLE THAT WE
00:47:10.03\00:47:16.80
THINK IT'S COMPLICATED.
IT'S A VERY SIMPLE THING.
00:47:16.80\00:47:20.30
IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT
YOU HAVE TO WORK AT, BECAUSE IT
00:47:20.30\00:47:23.44
DOESN'T COME EASY.
LET ME THINK THIS THROUGH.
00:47:23.44\00:47:26.84
I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT
A STEP BY STEP TO SURRENDER.
00:47:26.84\00:47:31.25
JESUS GAVE US THE
EXAMPLE IN GETHSEMANE.
00:47:31.25\00:47:36.22
I DONE WANT TO DO
THIS. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
00:47:36.22\00:47:41.52
NEVERTHELESS NOT MY
WILL, BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE.
00:47:41.52\00:47:44.13
AND BECAUSE YOU ARE KEEPING
CLOSE TO GOD, BECAUSE YOU ARE IN
00:47:44.13\00:47:47.50
A MOMENT BY MOMENT RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM, THEN WHEN YOU ARE AT
00:47:47.50\00:47:51.67
WAL-MART AND THE LADY ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE CASH REGISTER
-pGETS SNIPPY WITH YOU,
00:47:51.67\00:47:57.24
SOMETHING RISES UP, AND YOU CAN
GOING TO SAY TO HER, WHO DO YOU
00:47:57.24\00:48:01.08
THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO ME LIKE
THAT, YOU ARE GOING TO TELL HER,
00:48:01.08\00:48:05.08
BECAUSE SHE IS OUT OF LINE.
BUT THAT'S NOT A CHRISTIAN THING
00:48:05.08\00:48:07.92
TO DO. SO IT
STARTED TO RISE IN YOU,
00:48:07.92\00:48:10.89
AND THIS IS WHERE JESUS SAYS,
EXCUSE ME, WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS IS
00:48:10.89\00:48:16.36
WE SAY DON'T BOTHER ME NOW,
JESUS, I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
00:48:16.36\00:48:20.86
THIS WOMAN. BUT WHEN
WE'RE CLOSE TO CHRIST
00:48:20.86\00:48:27.54
AND HE SPEAKS AND HE SAYS
JOHN, YOU SAY JESUS, WHAT?
00:48:27.54\00:48:31.61
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO,
AND I CAN KEEP YOU FROM THAT,
00:48:31.61\00:48:35.31
AND I WANT TO
KEEP YOU FROM THAT.
00:48:35.31\00:48:38.01
WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO.
AND JESUS WILL SAY SWALLOW THOSE
00:48:38.01\00:48:41.75
WORD, AND YOU DO. AND
JESUS WILL SAY REMEMBER THAT
00:48:41.75\00:48:45.35
BIBLE VERSE, AND YOU DO.
AND JESUS WILL SAY SMILE, AND
00:48:45.35\00:48:48.66
YOU DO. AND JESUS WILL SAY, SAY
00:48:48.66\00:48:52.89
SOMETHING SWEET TO THAT LADY,
AND YOU SAY I HOPE YOU HAVE A
00:48:52.89\00:48:56.40
GREAT DAY TODAY.
SURRENDER IS SOMETHING THAT YOU
00:48:56.40\00:49:00.27
PRACTICE. NOBODY
WAS BORN SURRENDERED.
00:49:00.27\00:49:02.24
NOBODY MAKES A DECISION AND THEN
GOES ON SURRENDERING FROM THEN
00:49:02.24\00:49:09.41
ON. >> BUT TONIGHT SOMEBODY IS
00:49:09.41\00:49:11.08
WATCHING, AND THEY SAY I
WANT WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
00:49:11.08\00:49:15.02
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
WHAT IS MY FIRST STEP IN HOW DO
00:49:15.02\00:49:19.39
I COME TO JESUS BECAUSE
I'M -- I'M DIRTY, I'M UNCLEAN,
00:49:19.39\00:49:23.73
HOW DO I COME TO HIM LIKE THIS.
>> YOU COME TO HIM RIGHT AS YOU
00:49:23.73\00:49:27.30
ARE, AND YOU SAY, I'M DIRTY.
I'M UNCLEAN, AND I NEED YOU IN
00:49:27.30\00:49:31.90
MY LIFE, AND I
CANNOT DO THIS ON MY OWN.
00:49:31.90\00:49:36.64
SURRENDER -- YOU KNOW, IN THE
WARTIME, IN THE OLD WAR MOVIES
00:49:36.64\00:49:42.18
THEY RAN UP THE WHITE FLAG,
AND THAT MEANT, I'M NOT FIGHTING
00:49:42.18\00:49:46.78
AGAINST YOU ANYMORE.
COME OVER AND DO WHATEVER YOU
00:49:46.78\00:49:49.28
WANT TO DO. RUN UP
THAT WHITE FLAG AND SAY
00:49:49.28\00:49:52.19
JESUS I'M NOT
FIGHTING AGAINST YOU ANYMORE.
00:49:52.19\00:49:56.16
JUST COME INTO MY LIFE AND
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO DO.
00:49:56.16\00:50:00.33
>> WHY DO WE CONFESS OUR SINS
TO JESUS WHEN HE ALREADY KNOWS
00:50:00.33\00:50:06.00
THOSE SINS. >> HE DOES.
00:50:06.00\00:50:09.20
BUT THIS IS SAYING I RECOGNIZE
THE SINFULNESS OF THIS.
00:50:09.20\00:50:13.51
>> WE ALL HAVE SIN AND COME
SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD --
00:50:13.51\00:50:17.85
>> THAT'S RIGHT. AND
YOU ARE SAYING I RECOGNIZE
00:50:17.85\00:50:22.55
MY SINFULNESS, BUT WE TELL
GOD, I NEED YOU, AND THEN YOU
00:50:22.55\00:50:32.23
BELIEVE -- HOW MUCH MORE WILL
YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE HOLY
00:50:32.23\00:50:39.37
SPIRIT -- SO WE SAY I BELIEVE WE
CAN'T GIVE GOD OUR HEART, BUT WE
00:50:39.37\00:50:46.51
CAN ALLOW HIM TO TAKE
OUR HEART. LORD I SURRENDER.
00:50:46.51\00:50:51.48
TAKE MY HEART. MAKE IT YOURS.
00:50:51.48\00:50:55.48
AND NOW I WANT TO LIVE WITH YOU
MOMENT BY MOMENT, AND YOU CAN'T
00:50:55.48\00:51:01.42
SURRENDER TO WAL-MART UNTIL
YOU GET TO WAL-MART, BUT YOU CAN
00:51:01.42\00:51:06.73
SURRENDER YOUR
HEART TO JESUS NOW.
00:51:06.73\00:51:08.63
SO SIT DOWN AND HAVE
A GOOD TALK WITH JESUS.
00:51:08.63\00:51:11.23
TELL HIM I NEED
YOU TO TAKE MY HEART.
00:51:11.23\00:51:13.67
I NEED YOU TO FILL ME WITH YOUR
SPIRIT AND I AM YOURS, AND NOW I
00:51:13.67\00:51:18.91
WANT TO LIVE WITH
YOU MOMENT BY MOMENT.
00:51:18.91\00:51:21.81
KEEP IN TOUCH WITH GOD, PRAYER
AND BIBLE STUDY, BUT IT'S A
00:51:21.81\00:51:26.41
MOMENT BY MOMENT SURRENDER.
PAUL SAID I DIE DAILY.
00:51:26.41\00:51:30.72
HE SURRENDERED HIS LIFE
TO GOD ON A DAILY BASIS.
00:51:30.72\00:51:38.23
>> AND YOU TALKED ABOUT
THE DRUNK IN THE STREET, AND HE
00:51:38.23\00:51:43.26
WAKES UP, AND SAID LORD, FORGIVE
ME, AND AT THAT MOMENT HE IS
00:51:43.26\00:51:51.17
FORGIVEN. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:51:51.17\00:51:52.54
HE IS FORGIVEN, AND NOW HE
IS GROWING IN THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:51:52.54\00:51:56.38
HE IS GOING TO GO HOME AND
POUR HIS LIQUOR DOWN THE DRAIN.
00:51:56.38\00:52:02.15
A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, HE
IS GOING TO SAY THESE CIGARETTES
00:52:02.15\00:52:07.12
HAVE TO GO TOO. AND
THEN HE IS GOING TO WAKE UP
00:52:07.12\00:52:10.46
NEXT TO HIS GIRLFRIEND, AND SAY
SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT, AND THEN
00:52:10.46\00:52:14.83
HE IS GOING TO SAY, I REALLY
NEED TO GO TO CHURCH, AND HE IS
00:52:14.83\00:52:19.77
GROWING. >> SO BIG
KEY, THEN ONCE YOU DO
00:52:19.77\00:52:22.14
THAT, BEGIN TO DEVELOP THAT
RELATIONSHIP BY TALKING TO GOD,
00:52:22.14\00:52:25.54
AND YOU SAID STUDY YOUR BIBLE,
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT STUDYING
00:52:25.54\00:52:29.94
YOUR BIBLE, THE DEVIL IS GOING
TO BE THROWING HBO CHANNELS, AND
00:52:29.94\00:52:36.02
WHOEVER ELSE YOUR WAY, AND
PEOPLE BEING UGLY TO YOU, AND
00:52:36.02\00:52:39.79
ONCE YOU DO THAT, YOU KNOW YOU
ARE GOING TO BE UNDER DEMONIC
00:52:39.79\00:52:47.50
ATTACK, AND YOU HAVE TO SAY
LORD, I'M TRUSTING YOU TO GET ME
00:52:47.50\00:52:51.40
OUT OF THIS JAM. AND
THAT'S WHERE THAT GROWTH
00:52:51.40\00:52:54.30
PROCESS STARTS TO TAKE.
AND THEN JESUS SAYS GO AND TELL
00:52:54.30\00:52:57.44
WHAT I HAVE DONE
FOR YOU, RIGHT? >> YES.
00:52:57.44\00:53:00.61
>> SO NOT ONLY DO WE CONFESS OUR
SINS, BUT THEN HE SAYS GO AND
00:53:00.61\00:53:06.31
TELL, BECAUSE OUR PERSONAL
TESTIMONY IS OUR GREATEST ASSET
00:53:06.31\00:53:09.48
THAT WE HAVE, NOT THAT WE
HAVE MEMORIZED THE WHOLE BOOK OF
00:53:09.48\00:53:17.66
REVELATIONS OR WHATEVER, WHEN WE
CAN TELL WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR
00:53:17.66\00:53:21.16
US, NOBODY CAN
ARGUE WITH YOUR TESTIMONY.
00:53:21.16\00:53:24.13
>> ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S
A VERY POWERFUL PART OF
00:53:24.13\00:53:30.17
THAT EXPERIENCE.
>> WE HAVE PLENTY MORE
00:53:30.17\00:53:34.51
QUESTIONS, BUT WE ONLY
HAVE ABOUT THREE MINUTES.
00:53:34.51\00:53:37.58
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS
SPENDING JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
00:53:37.58\00:53:44.22
TIME PRAYING. I
BELIEVE SOMEBODY IS WATCHING
00:53:44.22\00:53:47.59
THAT IS SAYING I REALLY DO WANT
TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN, AND GIVE
00:53:47.59\00:53:52.06
MY LIFE, AND THOUGH, YOU
ARE SAYING THIS, I JUST NEED
00:53:52.06\00:53:55.53
SOMEBODY TO HELP ME, TO PRAY
WITH ME, SO I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU
00:53:55.53\00:53:59.80
TO JUST SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL
OF THOSE WATCHES RIGHT NOW THAT
00:53:59.80\00:54:03.97
SAYS, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO ACCEPT
JESUS, BUT BROTHER JOHN PRAY FOR
00:54:03.97\00:54:08.78
ME, BECAUSE I -- I NEED SUPPORT,
WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE PRAYING
00:54:08.78\00:54:14.15
FOR YOU HERE. THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS GOING TO HEAR
00:54:14.15\00:54:17.25
EVEN YOUR HEART NOT JUST WHAT
YOU SAY, BUT I JUST WANT THESE
00:54:17.25\00:54:20.96
FOLKS TO KNOW THAT WE LOVE THEM,
WE CARE FOR THEM, AND WE'RE
00:54:20.96\00:54:24.36
THERE TO SUPPORT, AND YOU TO
HELP LEAD THEM IN A PRAYER FOR
00:54:24.36\00:54:28.60
THEIR NEW
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
00:54:28.60\00:54:31.53
>> THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE TONIGHT
WHO -- WHO HAVE MAYBE BEEN IN
00:54:31.53\00:54:35.84
THE CHURCH FOR DECADES, AND
THEY ARE GOING TO START A NEW
00:54:35.84\00:54:40.51
RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS. LET'S PRAY.
00:54:40.51\00:54:42.58
FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE ARE VERY
THANKFUL TONIGHT TO KNOW THE GOD
00:54:42.58\00:54:46.58
IN HEAVEN NOT ONLY IS A
GOD OF LOVE, BUT HE IS LOVE.
00:54:46.58\00:54:51.12
WE THANK YOU FOR JESUS
OUR SAVIOR AND OUR LORD.
00:54:51.12\00:54:55.56
WE ARE SORRY. WE ARE SINNERS.
00:54:55.56\00:54:58.93
WE'RE SINFUL. WE HAVE
ERRED, WE HAVE STRAYED,
00:54:58.93\00:55:04.60
WE HAVE -- WE HAVE JUST GONE
AHEAD AND DONE THINGS EVEN WHEN
00:55:04.60\00:55:09.17
WE KNEW THEY WERE WRONG. WE
FIND OURSELVES AT THIS MOMENT
00:55:09.17\00:55:13.31
WANTING TO BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
NOW WE CAN'T CROSS TOMORROW'S
00:55:13.31\00:55:19.11
BRIDGES TOAY. WE CAN
ASK YOU NOW TO TAKE OUR
00:55:19.11\00:55:21.88
HEART AND MAKE IT
YOURSELVES. >> UH-HUH.
00:55:21.88\00:55:25.95
>> FATHER JESUS LIVED HIS LIFE
FOR US, AS WE SURRENDER TO YOU,
00:55:25.95\00:55:33.53
JESUS IS OURS,
AND SALVATION IS OURS.
00:55:33.53\00:55:36.73
>> YES. >> WE
CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT.
00:55:36.73\00:55:38.23
>> YES. >> AND THEN WHEN WE WAKE
00:55:38.23\00:55:41.54
TOMORROW, WE'LL BELIEVE IT
THEN,-WE'LL REDEDICATE OUR LIFE
00:55:41.54\00:55:47.08
TO YOU THEN. I PRAY THAT WE'LL
BE REMINDED IN YOUR WORD AND
00:55:47.08\00:55:51.45
REMINDED IN PRAYER WHO YOU
ARE AND WHAT WE MAY BE IN YOU.
00:55:51.45\00:55:55.02
SO FOR THAT PERSON RIGHT
NOW, WHO IS WANTING TO GIVE YOUR
00:55:55.02\00:56:01.99
HEART TO JESUS. DO IT.
00:56:01.99\00:56:03.76
YOU WANT A NEW START, TIRED OF
TRYING AND FAILING, IT'S A GOOD
00:56:03.76\00:56:08.43
YOU ARE TIRED OF THAT.
AND NOW JESUS WILL TAKE YOUR
00:56:08.43\00:56:13.37
HEART AND MAE IT HIS. SO
LORD, DO THAT, AND GIVE US
00:56:13.37\00:56:18.04
THE ASSURANCE SO THAT WE
KNOW WE MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
00:56:18.04\00:56:22.14
WE THANK YOU AND WE LOVE YOU.
WE PRAY WITH ASSURANCE IN FAITH
00:56:22.14\00:56:28.42
IN JESUS NAME >> THANK YOU.
00:56:28.42\00:56:29.95
>> AMEN. >> AMEN.
00:56:29.95\00:56:31.69
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE TONIGHT, AND THANK YOU FOR
00:56:31.69\00:56:35.19
THAT PRAYER. AND FOR
THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
00:56:35.19\00:56:38.49
WATCHING THIS AND MADE A NEW
COMMITMENT WITH JESUS CHRIST,
00:56:38.49\00:56:42.50
YOU CAN ALWAYS CONTACT US ANY
TIME OF THE WEEK, EXCEPT DURING
00:56:42.50\00:56:48.17
THE SABBATH HOUR, WE'LL BE HAPPY
TO SEND YOU THINGS THAT WILL
00:56:48.17\00:56:55.88
HELP YOU IN THAT
JOURNEY WITH JESUS CHRST.
00:56:55.88\00:56:58.45
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US
TO BE PART OF YOUR FAMILY.
00:56:58.45\00:57:02.38
THANK YOU BROTHER
JOHN, THANK YOU, YVONNE.
00:57:02.38\00:57:08.12
AND UNTIL WE SEE YOU NEXT TIME,
MAY THE LORD ABUNDANTLY BLESS
00:57:08.12\00:57:12.86
YOU MORE THAN YOU
