WELCOME TO THE BEST OF 2018.
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.270
IN EVERY SITUATION
00:00:09.290 --> 00:00:13.140
NO ROOM FOR FEAR AND DOUBT
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.090
NO MATTER WHAT I'M FACING
00:00:17.110 --> 00:00:21.020
THE SONG OF MY HEART IS RINGING OUT
00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:24.280
STAND ON YOUR PROMISE, I WILL NOT BE MOVED
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.200
NOTHING CAN TEAR US APART
00:00:28.220 --> 00:00:32.140
MY FAITH WON'T BE SHAKEN
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:34.020
- HE CHOOSES TO SEE US THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.
00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:39.120
THE SONG OF MY HEART
00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:41.200
OH
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:43.170
OH
00:00:43.190 --> 00:00:45.150
OH
00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:46.240
OH, THE SONG OF MY HEART
00:00:46.260 --> 00:00:49.050
OH
00:00:49.070 --> 00:00:51.050
OH
00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:53.080
OH
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.080
- WHEN HE WAS RAISED UP FREE AND VICTORIOUS,
00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:59.010
THAT WAS A PROMISE TO YOU THAT IF YOU HANG IN THERE,
00:00:59.030 --> 00:01:02.040
I WILL RAISE YOU UP TOO.
00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:04.180
YOU ARE TRIED AND TRUE, YOU NEVER CHANGE
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:10.080
NO
00:01:10.100 --> 00:01:11.290
WHEN ALL IS SINKING SAND
00:01:12.010 --> 00:01:14.040
YOU'RE A STRONG FOUNDATION
00:01:14.060 --> 00:01:17.210
YES, YOU ARE
00:01:17.230 --> 00:01:19.220
EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FADE
00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:22.000
BUT YOU REMAIN
00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:23.150
- WHEN YOU HELP SOMEBODY ELSE RISE HIGHER
00:01:23.170 --> 00:01:25.170
GOD WILL ALWAYS HELP YOU RISE HIGHER
00:01:25.190 --> 00:01:27.180
IN EVERY SITUATION
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.120
NO ROOM FOR FEAR AND DOUBT
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:35.100
NO MATTER WHAT I'M FACING
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.240
THE SONG OF MY HEART
00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:40.220
IS RINGING OUT
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:42.260
I STAND ON YOUR PROMISE
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.160
I WILL NOT BE MOVED
00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:46.220
- EVERY RELIGION IN THE WORLD GIVES US A WAY
00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:49.170
WHERE WE CAN TRY TO GET TO GOD.
00:01:49.190 --> 00:01:52.060
BUT THE STORY OF JESUS, THE COMING OF JESUS,
00:01:52.080 --> 00:01:54.260
IS GOD'S WAY OF GETTING TO US.
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.280
THE SONG OF MY HEART
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.130
OH
00:01:59.150 --> 00:02:01.140
OH
00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:03.120
OH
00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:04.210
YOU'RE THE SONG OF MY HEART
00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:07.040
OH
00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:09.090
OH
00:02:09.110 --> 00:02:11.180
YOU REMAIN THE SONG OF MY HEART
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.030
(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:22.150
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:29.070
- PRESIDENT TRUMP: I HAVE DETERMINED THAT IT IS TIME
00:02:29.090 --> 00:02:33.020
TO OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS THE
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.280
CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:41.180
- MIKE HUCKABEE: STANDING WITH ISRAEL IS WHERE AMERICA
00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:44.140
NEEDS TO BE IN THE WORLD.
00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:45.260
- WE WELCOME YOU OFFICIALLY
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.290
TO THE EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES HERE IN JERUSALEM,
00:02:48.010 --> 00:02:52.040
THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.
00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:54.180
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:07.140
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:15.010
- TODAY IS THE DAY OF THE JERUSALEM EMBASSY,
00:03:15.030 --> 00:03:18.060
THE U.S. RECOGNITION.
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.290
- SO MANY HAVE WORKED SO HARD AND FOR SO LONG
00:03:20.010 --> 00:03:23.280
FOR THIS DAY TO COME AND THEY ALL DESERVE OUR THANKS.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:31.100
- THE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY.
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.120
THIS IS THE WORD ON THE LIPS OF EVERY JEW SINCE ABRAHAM.
00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:39.020
THE WORD ON THE LIPS OF EVERY JEW IN THE HOLOCAUST.
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:42.110
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
00:03:42.130 --> 00:03:50.210
- WE ARE HERE IN JERUSALEM, ISRAEL.
00:03:50.230 --> 00:03:55.170
- YOU CAN ONLY BUILD PEACE ON TRUTH
00:03:55.190 --> 00:03:58.260
AND THE TRUTH IS THAT JERUSALEM HAS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:03.090
THE CAPITAL OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
00:04:03.110 --> 00:04:05.060
THE CAPITAL OF THE JEWISH STATE.
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.090
- FOR DECADES THE RAGING GEOPOLITICAL QUESTION
00:04:09.110 --> 00:04:12.110
OF THE WORLD WAS TO WHOM DOES THE CITY OF JERUSALEM BELONG?
00:04:12.130 --> 00:04:17.270
FOR YEARS, AMERICAN'S PRESIDENTS PROMISED TO RECOGNIZE
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:20.290
JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL AND FOR YEARS
00:04:21.010 --> 00:04:25.010
THEY FAILED TO DO ANYTHING.
00:04:25.030 --> 00:04:28.090
THEN CAME PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP WHO PROMISED
00:04:28.110 --> 00:04:31.210
TO RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.
00:04:31.230 --> 00:04:34.270
BUT WE HAD HEARD THAT BEFORE.
00:04:34.290 --> 00:04:37.200
PEOPLE WHO COME TO WASHINGTON AND MAKE PROMISES
00:04:37.220 --> 00:04:40.050
AND FORGET THEM IS COMMON CONDUCT.
00:04:40.070 --> 00:04:43.170
THEY FORGOT JERUSALEM.
00:04:43.190 --> 00:04:44.260
THEY FULFILLED DAVID'S WORDS, IF I FORGET THEE,
00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:48.070
OH, JERUSALEM, MY TONGUE WILL CLEAVE
00:04:48.090 --> 00:04:50.000
TO THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH.
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:52.060
ON DECEMBER THE 6TH, 2017, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:56.220
ANNOUNCED TO WORLD AN HISTORIC REALITY OF 3.000 YEARS
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.290
THAT JERUSALEM WAS AND ALWAYS SHALL BE THE CAPITAL
00:05:02.010 --> 00:05:05.140
OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.030
(CHEERING)
00:05:07.050 --> 00:05:09.220
- THE EMBASSY WAS MOVED FROM TEL AVIV TO JERUSALEM.
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.250
I WAS THERE, IT WAS AS SURREAL A MOMENT
00:05:13.270 --> 00:05:16.030
AS I'VE EVER WITNESSED.
00:05:16.050 --> 00:05:17.280
YOU MADE THAT PROMISE, YOU KEPT THAT PROMISE.
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.270
WHAT WAS IT THAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO DO WHAT NO OTHER
00:05:21.290 --> 00:05:25.020
PRESIDENT, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD PROMISED IT AS WELL,
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.280
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE, I'M GONNA DO THIS
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.060
BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD.
00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:30.270
- WELL, THE EMBASSY WAS A BIG THING,
00:05:30.290 --> 00:05:32.070
BUT IT WAS FOR MANY PRESIDENTS BEFORE ME.
00:05:32.090 --> 00:05:34.080
EVERYBODY CAMPAIGNED THAT THEY WERE GONNA MOVE THE EMBASSY
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:36.210
TO JERUSALEM AND NOBODY DID IT.
00:05:36.230 --> 00:05:38.180
AND I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND NOW
00:05:38.200 --> 00:05:41.160
BECAUSE TWO WEEKS BEFORE I DID IT, WHEN THE WORD WAS OUT
00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:43.180
THAT I WAS GOING TO DO IT, I WAS CALLED BY SO MANY COUNTRIES
00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:47.080
SAYING, PLEASE DON'T DO IT.
00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:49.240
I MEAN, I WAS CALLED, ACTUALLY GOT TO A POINT WHERE
00:05:49.260 --> 00:05:52.030
I SAID, I'LL CALL YOU BACK IN A WEEK
00:05:52.050 --> 00:05:53.290
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANNA HAVE THEM TELL ME DON'T DO IT
00:05:54.010 --> 00:05:55.230
AND THEN I DO IT, BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO DO IT.
00:05:55.250 --> 00:05:57.220
IT WAS A CAMPAIGN PROMISE.
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.040
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT AND YOU KNOW
00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:01.260
WHO REALLY LIKES IT THE MOST ARE THE EVANGELICALS.
00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:04.170
I TELL YOU WHAT, I GET MORE CALLS OF THANK YOU
00:06:04.190 --> 00:06:08.090
FROM EVANGELICALS, AND I SEE IT IN THE AUDIENCES
00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:11.000
AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THAN I DO FROM JEWISH PEOPLE.
00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:14.110
- IT'S NOT A SURPRISE, THOUGH, MR. PRESIDENT
00:06:14.130 --> 00:06:16.020
BECAUSE EVANGELICALS ARE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:17.200
AND THEY BELIEVE THAT YOU KEPT A PROMISE
00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:19.280
THAT WAS FULFILLING REALLY 3.000 YEAR OLD COMMITMENT
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.270
TO RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM.
00:06:23.290 --> 00:06:25.150
- BUT NOBODY DID IT, I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY.
00:06:25.170 --> 00:06:28.050
AS SOON AS THAT SECOND WEEK HEAD UP, AND ONCE I DID IT,
00:06:28.070 --> 00:06:32.110
IT WAS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.
00:06:32.130 --> 00:06:33.180
IT'S AND IMPORTANT EVENT.
00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:35.000
- MATT CROUCH: IT'S DAY ONE OF THE EMBASSY MOVING.
00:06:35.020 --> 00:06:37.200
SIR, THE VIEWERS OF TBN ARE JUST ESTATIC FOR YOU.
00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:41.130
THIS IS THE FRIENDLINESS AUDIENCE YOU'VE EVER ADDRESSED.
00:06:41.150 --> 00:06:44.230
YOUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS OPENING AND WHAT IT MEANT.
00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:48.180
- IT'S MIRACULOUS.
00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:49.220
I MEAN, THIS IS THE DREAM OF AGES.
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.010
I MEAN, WHAT WAS OUR GOAL?
00:06:53.030 --> 00:06:56.210
IT WAS THE RETURN OF THE EXILES,
00:06:56.230 --> 00:06:58.110
THE REBIRTH OF MODERN ISRAEL, WHICH I THINK IS A PARABLE
00:06:58.130 --> 00:07:01.220
FOR ALL HUMANITY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.200
CAN GO THROUGH THE ODYSSEY OF TIME
00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:08.010
THROUGH ALL THESE HORRORS, THESE EXPULSIONS, EXILES,
00:07:08.030 --> 00:07:11.180
PILGRIMS, HOLOCAUST, COME BACK AND REBUILD OUR NATIONAL LIFE
00:07:11.200 --> 00:07:15.200
AND OUR ANCESTRAL HOMELAND, THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:18.150
IT SAYS THERE'S HOPE FOR ALL HUMANITY.
00:07:18.170 --> 00:07:20.260
AND IT'S REALLY THE REALIZATION OF THE GREAT PROPHECIES
00:07:20.280 --> 00:07:26.120
OF THE BIBLE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL IN BUSINESS DOING.
00:07:26.140 --> 00:07:29.130
THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHO WANNA CRUSH THAT, LIKE IRAN,
00:07:29.150 --> 00:07:31.230
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA LET THEM.
00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:33.060
- JERUSALEM IS THE ONLY CITY IN THE WORLD
00:07:33.080 --> 00:07:36.150
WHERE GOD HAS SAID, I WILL PUT MY NAME ON THIS CITY.
00:07:36.170 --> 00:07:41.110
THIS IS WHERE I WILL DWELL.
00:07:41.130 --> 00:07:45.020
HE ACKNOWLEDGED JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.250
YOU KNOW, WE DO MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT THE EMBASSY MOVE,
00:07:49.270 --> 00:07:53.120
BUT 3.000 YEARS AGO GOD HAD A SAY IN IT AND HE SAID,
00:07:53.140 --> 00:07:57.130
JERUSALEM IS MY CAPITAL.
00:07:57.150 --> 00:07:59.090
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:07:59.110 --> 00:08:02.190
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:08:02.210 --> 00:08:05.160
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:09.030
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:08:09.050 --> 00:08:11.210
- I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT THE PRIME MINISTER SAID,
00:08:11.230 --> 00:08:14.090
TO HAVE PEACE, YOU HAVE TO BUILD IT ON TRUTH.
00:08:14.110 --> 00:08:16.240
AND THAT IS SO TRUE THAT WE BUILD OUR FOUNDATION
00:08:16.260 --> 00:08:19.180
ON GOD'S WORD AND GOD'S WORD ALONE
00:08:19.200 --> 00:08:21.200
AND THAT'S JUST KIND OF LIKE THE FOUNDATION
00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:22.280
OF WHAT WE SAW TODAY.
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.070
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON IT GOES
00:08:25.090 --> 00:08:31.150
FOR IT OVERWHELMS AND SATISFIES MY SOUL
00:08:31.170 --> 00:08:37.040
- BY RECOGNIZING HISTORY, YOU HAVE MADE HISTORY.
00:08:37.060 --> 00:08:43.160
'CAUSE THIS ONE THING REMAINS
00:08:43.180 --> 00:08:48.240
- GOD IS SUPERNATURALLY POURING OUT HIS BLESSING
00:08:48.260 --> 00:08:52.000
ON THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE
00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:55.180
LIKE I HAVE NOT SEEN IN MY LIFETIME.
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.000
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:08:58.020 --> 00:09:00.260
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:09:00.280 --> 00:09:03.280
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.140
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:10.050
- MAKE WELCOME, PLEASE, JOSEPH PRINCE,
00:09:10.070 --> 00:09:12.040
PASTOR JOEL AND VICTORIA OSTEEN.
00:09:12.060 --> 00:09:16.250
YOUR LOVE
00:09:16.270 --> 00:09:23.180
- GOD'S GOT A PLAN AND A PURPOSE.
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.160
YOU'RE ANOINTED TO DO EVERYTHING GOD'S CALLED YOU TO DO.
00:09:25.180 --> 00:09:30.000
THE POWER OF YOUR GREAT LOVE
00:09:30.020 --> 00:09:34.270
- UNDER THE LAW, GOD SAYS I'LL BY NO MEANS FORGET YOUR SINS.
00:09:34.290 --> 00:09:39.070
I'LL VISIT YOUR SINS TO YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.
00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:42.070
BUT UNDER GRACE, GOD SAYS I'LL BY NO MEANS
00:09:42.090 --> 00:09:45.070
REMEMBER YOUR SINS.
00:09:45.090 --> 00:09:47.030
THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE.
00:09:47.050 --> 00:09:49.120
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:09:49.140 --> 00:09:52.270
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:09:52.290 --> 00:09:55.220
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.180
- WE ARE PEOPLE OF DESTINY.
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.280
WE'RE NOT HERE BY ACCIDENT.
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.040
I DON'T JUST MEAN HERE IN GALILEE TODAY,
00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:02.090
BUT WE'RE NOT ON PLANET EARTH BY ACCIDENT.
00:10:02.110 --> 00:10:04.110
GOD'S GOT A PLAN AND A PURPOSE.
00:10:04.130 --> 00:10:06.130
WE'RE JUST STIRRING UP OUR FAITH,
00:10:06.150 --> 00:10:08.110
REJOICING, THANKING GOD FOR WHAT HE'S DONE
00:10:08.130 --> 00:10:10.200
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, OUR BEST DAYS ARE NOT BEHIND US,
00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:12.220
THEY'RE STILL OUT IN FRONT OF US.
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.090
BECAUSE ON AND ON AND ON AND ON IT GOES
00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:21.240
FOR IT OVERWHELMS AND SATISFIES MY SOUL
00:10:21.260 --> 00:10:26.260
- WHATEVER YOU NEED, HE'S ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:29.020
YOU'VE GOT RESURRECTION POWER ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:32.170
YOU MAY FEEL DISCOURAGED SOME DAYS,
00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:34.230
BUT YOU GOTTA STIR UP THAT RESURRECTION POWER.
00:10:34.250 --> 00:10:37.070
YOU GOTTA KNOW THAT HE'S GOT A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
00:10:37.090 --> 00:10:39.220
AND HIS PLANS ARE GOOD.
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.140
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:44.180
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.200
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:51.020
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:54.030
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS, IT NEVER GIVES UP
00:10:54.050 --> 00:10:57.180
IT NEVER RUNS OUT ON ME
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.170
YOUR LOVE
00:11:00.190 --> 00:11:02.000
- HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT?
00:11:02.020 --> 00:11:04.110
OH
00:11:04.130 --> 00:11:07.060
AND IN DEATH AND LIFE
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.130
I'M CONFIDENT I'M COVERED BY THE POWER
00:11:10.150 --> 00:11:15.080
OF YOUR GREAT LOVE
00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:20.050
MY DEBT IS PAID
00:11:20.070 --> 00:11:23.120
AND NOTHING NOW CAN SEPARATE
00:11:23.140 --> 00:11:26.210
MY HEART FROM YOUR GREAT LOVE
00:11:26.230 --> 00:11:35.240
- MATT CROUCH: WE WELCOME YOU TO BAGUASHAN, TAIWAN.
00:11:35.260 --> 00:11:40.170
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
00:11:40.190 --> 00:11:45.090
THIS IS OUR VERY FIRST TIME TO BE HERE
00:11:45.110 --> 00:11:48.290
AND I CAN'T POSSIBLY TELL YOU HOW AMAZING
00:11:49.010 --> 00:11:54.110
IT IS TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY WITH THIS LEVEL OF OPEN DOOR.
00:11:54.130 --> 00:12:01.120
THE DOOR IS OPENING RIGHT HERE.
00:12:01.140 --> 00:12:07.210
NATIONAL BROADCASTER TVBS IS WELCOMING TBN CONTENT,
00:12:07.230 --> 00:12:13.110
JOEL OSTEEN, DRIVE THRU HISTORY, VEGGIE TALES.
00:12:13.130 --> 00:12:16.240
WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW, WHAT OUR GROUP
00:12:16.260 --> 00:12:20.050
AND WHAT OUR TEAM THAT'S HERE IN TAIWAN IS REALLY
00:12:20.070 --> 00:12:24.010
JUST KIND OF A LEVEL OF OPEN DOOR THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN
00:12:24.030 --> 00:12:28.050
IN MANY, MANY YEARS.
00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:30.230
- I JUST THINK THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THINGS LIKE
00:12:30.250 --> 00:12:34.220
THAT, TO DO THINGS OUTSIDE OF CHRISTIAN TELEVISION,
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:38.060
AND TO GO INTO CHINA.
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.250
THEY SAT THERE, THESE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SAT THERE
00:12:39.270 --> 00:12:44.010
AND LOOKED AT US AND SAID, WE NEED YOU
00:12:44.030 --> 00:12:49.000
TO BRING THE BIG LOVE HERE TO CHINA.
00:12:49.020 --> 00:12:54.000
THE BIG LOVE, I LOVE THAT.
00:12:54.020 --> 00:12:56.110
I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK WE CAN DO THAT.
00:12:56.130 --> 00:12:58.160
I THINK WE CAN DO THAT BECAUSE THEY SEE A GENERATION
00:12:58.180 --> 00:13:02.190
THAT HAS NO RESPECT ANYMORE.
00:13:02.210 --> 00:13:05.020
AND NO HONOR, AND THEY JUST WANT US TO SEED THE PRINCIPLES
00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:09.220
AND WHAT IT IS IS THAT SEEDING THE PRINCIPLES OF THE GOSPEL
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.200
INTO THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD.
00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:16.150
THINK HOW YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD IF YOU CAN START SEEDING,
00:13:16.170 --> 00:13:20.070
JUST THE GOSPEL LIKE A CHILD CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND IT
00:13:20.090 --> 00:13:25.100
AND SEEDING INTO PLACES LIKE CHINA.
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.260
- WITHOUT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT APPROVAL,
00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:33.220
WE WOULD NOT BE SITTING HERE AND WE WOULD NOT BE DOING
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.070
A PRAISE PROGRAM AT THE THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA,
00:13:37.090 --> 00:13:40.060
I ASSURE YOU.
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.170
AND SO, I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DAY
00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:45.030
THAT WE'RE REPRESENTING RIGHT NOW IS SO UNPRECEDENTED
00:13:45.050 --> 00:13:49.050
THAT 30 YEARS AGO WE WOULD HAVE NEVER DREAMED
00:13:49.070 --> 00:13:52.200
THAT WE WOULD BE SITTING ON A NATIONAL MONUMENT
00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:56.060
WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT APPROVAL,
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.190
TALKING DIRECTING IN THE FRONT DOOR OF ORGANIZATIONS
00:13:58.210 --> 00:14:02.130
LIKE CCTV, CHINA CENTRAL TELEVISION,
00:14:02.150 --> 00:14:05.100
WORKING WITH AN AMAZING PARTNERSHIP, PHOENIX TELEVISION,
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.010
THAT HAVE A GLOBAL NETWORK AROUND THE WORLD,
00:14:09.030 --> 00:14:11.010
HEADQUARTERED IN NOT ONLY BEIJING AND ALSO IN HONG KONG.
00:14:11.030 --> 00:14:14.290
THIS IS A DAY THAT WE HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DREAM OF.
00:14:15.010 --> 00:14:19.150
AND TODAY, RIGHT HERE IN BEIJING, CHINA,
00:14:19.170 --> 00:14:22.240
THIS IS NOT A SET, THIS IS REALLY THE GREAT WALL
00:14:22.260 --> 00:14:26.230
AND WE WELCOME YOU.
00:14:26.250 --> 00:14:28.170
(TRADITIONAL CHINESE MUSIC)
00:14:28.190 --> 00:14:33.280
- PAUL CROUCH: THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.030
IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS AND THEN SHALL THE END COME.
00:14:38.050 --> 00:14:42.150
00:14:42.170 --> 00:14:46.080
- THE IDEA THAT THE GOSPEL REALLY IS GOING AROUND THE WORLD
00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:51.190
AND WHEN WE CAN GET 24 HOUR DAY NETWORKS IN THE LANGUAGE
00:14:51.210 --> 00:14:57.100
OF THE PEOPLE, THAT'S WHEN CHRISTIAN TV IS OPERATING
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.130
THE GREATEST AND THE BEST AND AT ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL.
00:15:01.150 --> 00:15:04.240
- TO BE WHERE YOU'RE AT AND THE THINGS THAT GOD
00:15:04.260 --> 00:15:06.230
IS DOING THROUGH TBN AROUND THE WORLD,
00:15:06.250 --> 00:15:08.170
I HAVE STATED HERE AND TO OTHER, IN OTHER SETTINGS,
00:15:08.190 --> 00:15:11.160
TBN IS ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT, INFLUENTIAL
00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:14.200
KINGDOM MINISTRY ON THE PLANET BY FAR.
00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:17.120
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT HEAR
00:15:17.140 --> 00:15:19.080
THE GOSPEL AND THE GOSPEL OF GRACE AND SALVATION
00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:21.270
OF HOPE AND LOVE, NO OTHER CONDUIT IS AS POWERFUL
00:15:21.290 --> 00:15:24.180
AND AMPLIFIED AS TBN.
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.120
SO I THANK YOU FOR SAYING YES TO GOD.
00:15:26.140 --> 00:15:28.170
- WE WERE TAUGHT, YOU GOTTA START SOMEWHERE.
00:15:28.190 --> 00:15:31.140
SO YOU START WITH, MAYBE THAT'S CLEANING THE FLOORS
00:15:31.160 --> 00:15:34.160
AND THEN YOU BUILD UP TO BEING THE PRESIDENT.
00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:37.160
I MEAN, WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING FROM CLEANING THE TOILETS TO--
00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:41.160
- MY FIRST JOB AT TBN WAS PULLING THE CABLES.
00:15:41.180 --> 00:15:45.110
SO, WHEN YOU HAVE A MOBILE CAMERA,
00:15:45.130 --> 00:15:47.110
SOMEBODY HAS TO BE FEEDING THE CABLE
00:15:47.130 --> 00:15:48.250
AND RETRACTING THE CABLE, THAT WAS WHAT I DID FIRST.
00:15:48.270 --> 00:15:51.160
I MEAN, I'M TALKING 10, 11, 12 YEARS OLD.
00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:54.020
THEN I RAN CAMERA, YOU KNOW.
00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:56.230
AND THEN I FINALLY STARTED GOING INTO THE MIXING CONSOL,
00:15:56.250 --> 00:16:00.090
DOING MICROPHONES AND MIXING.
00:16:00.110 --> 00:16:01.220
AND THEN I WENT INTO DIRECTING,
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.040
AND THEN INTO PRODUCING AND THEN--
00:16:03.060 --> 00:16:04.150
- [MIKE] CRAWL, WALK RUN.
00:16:04.170 --> 00:16:05.210
- YEAH, I MEAN, I'VE JUST DONE EVERY JOB.
00:16:05.230 --> 00:16:07.100
- HAS THAT BEEN LOST?
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.210
- [MIKE] YEAH.
00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:09.270
- ON THE WORLD, NOT JUST A GENERATION, BUT--
00:16:09.290 --> 00:16:11.070
- WELL, LOOK, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT'S GREAT
00:16:11.090 --> 00:16:14.080
THAT YOU SAID, WE'RE NOT GONNA PICK ON THIS GENERATION.
00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:16.260
- [LAURIE] NO, NOT AT ALL.
00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:18.110
- AND THE REASON WE SHOULDN'T IS BECAUSE WE RAISED THEM.
00:16:18.130 --> 00:16:21.260
- [LAURIE] (CHUCKLES) THEY'RE MY BABIES, YES.
00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:23.070
- WE DID THIS, RIGHT.
00:16:23.090 --> 00:16:24.260
SO, WHATEVER SAFE SPACE NONSENSE IS GOING ON
00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:27.250
IN THE UNIVERSITIES, THESE CRYING CLOSETS
00:16:27.270 --> 00:16:30.240
THAT HAVE BEEN SET UP, THIS INCREDIBLE SOFTENING
00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:36.260
OF THE EXPECTATIONS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE,
00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:40.270
WE'RE NOT PREPPING OUR KIDS FOR THE REAL WORLD IN MY VIEW.
00:16:40.290 --> 00:16:45.170
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I THINK PART OF THE REASON
00:16:45.190 --> 00:16:48.110
WE'RE CREATING THESE OBSTACLES FOR OURSELF
00:16:48.130 --> 00:16:50.180
IS THAT WE'RE KNOCKING THE LOWER RUNGS OFF OF THE LADDER.
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:55.020
SO IF YOU DIDN'T PULL CABLE FIRST, IF YOU DIDN'T LEARN
00:16:55.040 --> 00:17:01.070
THE EDITING PROCESS SECOND, YOU KNOW,
00:17:01.090 --> 00:17:04.030
IF YOU DIDN'T WORK YOUR WAY UP, HOW DO YOU CLIMB THE LADDER?
00:17:04.050 --> 00:17:08.090
- WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?
00:17:08.110 --> 00:17:10.150
- SOMEBODY'S GOTTA CUT IN.
00:17:10.170 --> 00:17:12.020
- (LAUGHING) THAT'S GOOD.
00:17:12.040 --> 00:17:13.170
- MIKE ROWE, WELCOME TO TBN.
00:17:13.190 --> 00:17:16.050
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
00:17:16.070 --> 00:17:22.260
I OWE MY SOUL
00:17:22.280 --> 00:17:33.040
TO THE COMPANY STORE
00:17:33.060 --> 00:17:37.150
- LET'S BE CAREFUL HERE, GUYS.
00:17:37.170 --> 00:17:39.040
- MATT, YOU PUT ME IN A CHERRY PICKER WITH NO TRAINING
00:17:39.060 --> 00:17:41.110
AND NO HARNESS AND SAID, TAKE US TO THE ROOF
00:17:41.130 --> 00:17:43.090
AND NOW AS WE'RE DESCENDING THE STAIRS,
00:17:43.110 --> 00:17:45.280
YOUR ADVICE IS, BE CAREFUL.
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:47.280
- [MATT] LET'S HAVE A CONTEST OF PULL-UPS.
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.090
- LET ME JUST CONCEDE, OKAY?
00:17:50.110 --> 00:17:54.000
I CAN DO SO MANY PULL-UPS.
00:17:54.020 --> 00:17:55.070
I CAN DO SO MANY MORE PULL-UPS THAN MATT
00:17:55.090 --> 00:17:56.210
AND WOULD IT BE EMBARRASSING TO EVEN DEMONSTRATE IT NOW.
00:17:56.230 --> 00:17:59.150
SO I'M JUST GONNA DO THE POLITE THING
00:17:59.170 --> 00:18:01.070
AND GO DOWN THE STAIRS.
00:18:01.090 --> 00:18:03.060
- AND GET A LITTLE BIT OF THAT RIGHT THERE.
00:18:03.080 --> 00:18:05.280
THERE YOU GO.
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:07.050
- WHAT IS, I MEAN, THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL.
00:18:07.070 --> 00:18:09.180
TYPICALLY, WE DON'T PUT IT ON THE TONGUE, MATT.
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.070
THIS IS THE JOB, YOUR ABILITY TO READ THIS BOOK,
00:18:12.090 --> 00:18:15.030
EXECUTE THIS BOOK, MANAGE THESE PEOPLE, AND NOT GET SHOT.
00:18:15.050 --> 00:18:20.180
THAT'S IT.
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.150
PRETTY RUDIMENTARY, REALLY.
00:18:22.170 --> 00:18:23.230
- DON'T WE HAVE TO ADMIT THAT HE IS BETTER LOOKING
00:18:23.250 --> 00:18:25.180
THAT MATT CROUCH.
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:26.270
- OH, WELL, YEAH.
00:18:26.290 --> 00:18:28.080
- [HOST] I'M GONNA GET IN TROUBLE, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT.
00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:29.170
- THIS IS THE PART OF THE SHOW WHERE WE PROVE IT.
00:18:29.190 --> 00:18:30.260
- BUT, MATT, HE ALWAYS CHANGING THINGS.
00:18:30.280 --> 00:18:32.200
YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.
00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:34.190
- BUT I'M RIGHT, RIGHT?
00:18:34.210 --> 00:18:36.010
- HE'S ALWAYS RIGHT.
00:18:36.030 --> 00:18:37.070
THAT'S THE PROBLEM, JOYCE.
00:18:37.090 --> 00:18:39.110
- I'M JUST TRYING TO GET YA TO SAY I'M RIGHT, IS ALL.
00:18:39.130 --> 00:18:41.140
- ALL MEN ARE ALWAYS RIGHT.
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.240
- THERE YOU GO.
00:18:43.260 --> 00:18:44.220
- I MEAN, IT'S LIKE.
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.200
- THERE'S THE INSTAGRAM QUOTE.
00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:47.060
YOU NEED JUST A LITTLE MORE JESUS
00:18:47.080 --> 00:18:48.270
- HONEY, I BELIEVE I'M GONNA BE A CHICKEN CATCHER SOME DAY.
00:18:48.290 --> 00:18:52.250
- KIND OF THINK OF IT LIKE THAT SHOW FAMILY FEUD.
00:18:52.270 --> 00:18:56.010
NO MATTER WHAT THE PERSON SAYS, THE FAMILY ALWAYS SAYS,
00:18:56.030 --> 00:19:00.250
(CLAPPING) GOOD ANSWER, GOOD ANSWER.
00:19:00.270 --> 00:19:02.070
THAT IS THE WORST ANSWER I'VE EVER HEARD.
00:19:02.090 --> 00:19:04.240
- I AM REPENTING RIGHT HERE LIVE ON TBN.
00:19:04.260 --> 00:19:10.030
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
00:19:10.050 --> 00:19:11.180
I FEEL THE LOVE AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.260
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:16.010
TBN DOES IT LIKE NOBODY DOES
00:19:16.030 --> 00:19:18.190
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
00:19:18.210 --> 00:19:20.180
TO ALL MY NEIGHBORS, WE GOT A SAVIOR
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:23.030
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
00:19:23.050 --> 00:19:25.060
I'LL NEVER COME WACK ON AN OLD SCHOOL TRACK
00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:28.090
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
00:19:28.110 --> 00:19:29.260
- THERE WE GO, THEY DID GOOD.
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:31.200
- IF YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T EVEN GET PITY.
00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:33.280
YOU JUST A FOOL. YOU KNOW, MOST FOOLS I PITY.
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.160
BUT YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH GOD, OH, MAN,
00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:39.040
YOU IN TROUBLE. PITY CAN'T HELP YOU.
00:19:39.060 --> 00:19:41.000
- OKAY, LET ME GIVE YOU A REST FOR A SECOND.
00:19:41.020 --> 00:19:43.190
- NO, MAN, I COME HERE, I DON'T NEED NO REST.
00:19:43.210 --> 00:19:45.150
(LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
00:19:45.170 --> 00:19:48.250
- YOU'RE ABOUT TO BLOW UP, MAN.
00:19:48.270 --> 00:19:50.200
- I COME HERE, I COME HERE TO SAVE SOMEBODY.
00:19:50.220 --> 00:19:53.090
- SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DO IT, RIGHT HERE ON TBN.
00:19:53.110 --> 00:19:55.230
- IT'S GOTTA DO IT, BY THE WAY, MATT.
00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:57.120
WHEN YOU SAY--
00:19:57.140 --> 00:19:58.160
- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WHAT DID I SAY?
00:19:58.180 --> 00:19:59.200
- WHEN YOU SAY, SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DO IT,
00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:02.070
IT BRINGS TO THE WHOLE CONVERSATION A KIND OF ELEVATED
00:20:02.090 --> 00:20:07.250
SOPHISTICATION THAT I'M NOT QUITE SURE IS WARRANTED.
00:20:07.270 --> 00:20:11.010
- [LAURIE] PERSNICKETY.
00:20:11.030 --> 00:20:12.040
- THERE IS A PERSNICKETYNESS TO IT.
00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:14.040
SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO DO IT.
00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:16.230
(LAUGHING)
00:20:16.250 --> 00:20:17.210
BY JOVE, WHO COULD WE GET?
00:20:17.230 --> 00:20:20.130
I KNOW, MIKE ROWE.
00:20:20.150 --> 00:20:22.160
- YOU WERE THE HOST OF EVENING MAGAZINE.
00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:25.070
- [MIKE] THAT'S TRUE.
00:20:25.090 --> 00:20:26.140
- RIGHT HERE.
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.090
- [MIKE] IT'S TRUE.
00:20:27.110 --> 00:20:28.150
- AND EDITOR NOTE, FIND THAT FOOTAGE.
00:20:28.170 --> 00:20:30.140
- [MIKE] OH, BOY.
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.120
- FIND, GONNA FIND IT.
00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:33.240
(TELEVISION MUSIC)
00:20:33.260 --> 00:20:42.100
- UNREAL.
00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:44.020
DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY WATCH THIS SHOW, BE HONEST.
00:20:44.040 --> 00:20:45.260
- YEAH, THEY DO. - NO.
00:20:45.280 --> 00:20:47.170
- OH, DEAR.
00:20:47.190 --> 00:20:48.230
- I HAVE TO ADMIT, THERE'S ANOTHER MIKE
00:20:48.250 --> 00:20:49.150
THAT'S WITH YOU TOO.
00:20:49.170 --> 00:20:51.060
MIKE HUCKABEE.
00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:52.010
- NEVER HEARD OF HIM.
00:20:52.030 --> 00:20:53.050
- WELL, MIKE ROWE, WELCOME TO TBN.
00:20:53.070 --> 00:20:54.170
YOUR NEW SHOW IS GONNA BE FOLLOWING ME ON SATURDAY NIGHTS.
00:20:54.190 --> 00:20:57.020
I GUESS IT'S GONNA BE LIKE OPEN MIC NIGHT.
00:20:57.040 --> 00:21:00.160
- YOU WRITE YOUR OWN MATERIAL, DO YA?
00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:02.130
- NO, I GET A PROFESSIONAL TO DO IT, OF COURSE.
00:21:02.150 --> 00:21:04.170
- REALLY? - YEAH.
00:21:04.190 --> 00:21:06.070
- LET HIM GO. (LAUGHING)
00:21:06.090 --> 00:21:08.200
- NOW, FOR THE NEXT HOUR, WE WANT YOU TO ENJOY
00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:10.240
A DIFFERENT KIND OF TELEVISION SHOW INTENDED TO INFORM,
00:21:10.260 --> 00:21:14.030
ENCOURAGE AND ENTERTAIN.
00:21:14.050 --> 00:21:18.210
- WHAT'S FUN WITHOUT A LITTLE DANGER?
00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:20.060
WHAT'S DANGER WITHOUT A LITTLE FUN?
00:21:20.080 --> 00:21:22.060
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:26.050
- I'M JESUS AND I FORGIVE YOU. (LAUGHING)
00:21:26.070 --> 00:21:29.170
- HERE I AM OVER HERE, HERE I AM.
00:21:29.190 --> 00:21:31.220
I THINK IF YOU GUYS STAY AT IT A LITTLE WHILE LONGER
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:33.150
YOU MIGHT MAKE A CAREER OUT OF THIS.
00:21:33.170 --> 00:21:36.080
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:39.040
- BOB GOFF, THANK YOU.
00:21:39.060 --> 00:21:40.120
HE'S BEEN OUR GUEST (CONFETTI CANNON BANGS)
00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:43.110
THIS ENTIRE PROGRAM.

(LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
00:21:46.110 --> 00:21:47.240
AND I HAD TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE CONFETTI CANNON.
00:21:47.260 --> 00:21:51.150
I THINK YOU SAID THE WORDS, I'M A NAKED BABY ANGEL.
00:21:51.170 --> 00:21:55.060
YOU REMEMBER THAT EARLIER IN THE SHOW?
00:21:55.080 --> 00:21:56.250
YOU REMEMBER, YOU WERE KIND OF DESCRIBING THE--
00:21:56.270 --> 00:21:59.240
- [LAURIE] JUST SAY NO.
00:21:59.260 --> 00:22:00.240
- JUST SNAP BOTH OF YOUR FINGERS.
00:22:00.260 --> 00:22:02.050
LOOK INTO THAT CAMERA AND SNAP BOTH OF YOUR FINGERS.
00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:04.090
- NO, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ME NAKED AS A BABY.
00:22:04.110 --> 00:22:06.200
BOOM.
00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.150
(HARP MUSIC)
00:22:07.170 --> 00:22:13.060
- THAT WAS AWKWARD.
00:22:13.080 --> 00:22:14.180
- WE SHOULD JUST SEE HOW LONG WE COULD DO AWKWARDNESS.
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.180
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:26.030
(LAUGHING)
00:22:26.050 --> 00:22:27.230
- THAT'S CALLED DEAD AIR WHEN IT'S ON THE AIR.
00:22:27.250 --> 00:22:31.110
- YOU DID GOOD THOUGH, YOU DID GOOD.
00:22:31.130 --> 00:22:33.030
THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT GOD HAS SHOWN ME
00:22:33.050 --> 00:22:34.210
REGARDS TO A GIFT TO OPEN UP PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
00:22:34.230 --> 00:22:37.080
ONE GIFT IS LAUGHTER.
00:22:37.100 --> 00:22:38.150
WHEN PEOPLE LAUGH, THEIR HEART IS OPEN IN A WAY
00:22:38.170 --> 00:22:40.040
THAT I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN.
00:22:40.060 --> 00:22:42.040
YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN OR YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND LOOK AT SOME
00:22:42.060 --> 00:22:44.270
OF THE ALTAR CALLS THAT TAKE PLACE AFTER I'M AT A CHURCH
00:22:44.290 --> 00:22:47.180
ON WEEKEND SERVICE.
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.250
IT'S PRETTY ASTONISHING. LIKE IT BLOWS ME BACK.
00:22:48.270 --> 00:22:50.130
IN FACT, WHEN I'M DOING AN ALTAR CALL, I SOMETIMES
00:22:50.150 --> 00:22:53.070
HAVE TO LOOK BEHIND ME, LIKE JESUS MUST BE,
00:22:53.090 --> 00:22:55.210
THEY CAN'T BE LOOKING AT ME. LIKE IT REALLY OVERWHELMS ME.
00:22:55.230 --> 00:22:58.160
SO LAUGHTER OPENS UP HEARTS, BUT GOD HAS SHOWN ME ANOTHER
00:22:58.180 --> 00:23:01.000
THING THAT OPENS UP HEARTS JUST AS WELL IS PEOPLE GIVING,
00:23:01.020 --> 00:23:04.200
BUT NOT MONEY.
00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:06.050
SO IN THIS SPECIAL, YOU'LL LAUGH, BUT IT'S ALSO GONNA OPEN
00:23:06.070 --> 00:23:09.080
UP YOUR HEART TO SAY, HEY, WHAT CAN I DO FOR SOMEONE ELSE
00:23:09.100 --> 00:23:12.180
AND OPEN UP YOUR HEART IN A WAY TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.020
ALSO NEED TO RECEIVE FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:17.040
A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVE TO GIVE,
00:23:17.060 --> 00:23:18.290
BUT THEY HAVE A HARD TIME RECEIVING.
00:23:19.010 --> 00:23:20.280
WELL, IN MY OPINION, TO GIVE AND NOT RECEIVE
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.050
IS ACTUALLY A POSITION OF ARROGANCE.
00:23:23.070 --> 00:23:25.140
LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS, IT'S BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE,
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.160
WHICH IS TRUE, IT'S SO AWESOME, SO GIVE SOMEONE ELSE
00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:30.230
AN OPPORTUNITY AS WELL.
00:23:30.250 --> 00:23:32.120
- THAT'S WHO WE REALLY ARE.
00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:34.040
WE'RE BORN SELFISH; WE'RE BORN AGAIN GENEROUS.
00:23:34.060 --> 00:23:38.060
WE ARE BORN AGAIN LIKE GOD AND GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:40.270
THAT HE GAVE.
00:23:40.290 --> 00:23:42.160
SO GOD LOVES TO GIVE, HE LOVES TO GIVE.
00:23:42.180 --> 00:23:45.010
AND THEN WHEN WE GIVE, EVEN THE WORLD TALKS ABOUT IT.
00:23:45.030 --> 00:23:48.080
THEY SAY THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS IS GIVING.
00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:51.250
AND WE ARE RESPONDING TO YOUR LOVE
00:23:51.270 --> 00:23:57.290
OUR GOD, HOW GREAT YOU ARE
00:23:58.010 --> 00:24:00.250
HOW GREAT, HOW GREAT YOU ARE
00:24:00.270 --> 00:24:05.180
HALLELUJAH
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.060
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE OUR GOD
00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:10.090
- BUT THE MORE WE GAVE, THE MORE GOD BLESSED US.
00:24:10.110 --> 00:24:12.280
THAT'S WHAT JAMES WAS REFERRING TO BECAUSE I WANTED TO GIVE
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.160
JUST TO HELP PEOPLE, BUT I DIDN'T GIVE TO GET SOMETHING
00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:20.060
BACK AND THAT'S WHAT GOT TURNED AROUND BECAUSE IT IS
00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:24.150
TRUE THAT GOD REWARDS US.
00:24:24.170 --> 00:24:25.250
GOD IS A REWARDER, HEBREWS 11.
00:24:25.270 --> 00:24:28.220
BUT HE REWARDS US WHEN HE CAN DO A WORK IN OUR HEARTS.
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:32.100
AND SO IT GOT TURNED AROUND IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.
00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:34.120
AND PROBABLY SOME WELL-MEANING PREACHERS AND PASTORS
00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:37.140
WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW, LISTEN, IF YOU'LL BE GENEROUS,
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:39.230
GOD WILL BLESS YOU, BUT PRETTY SOON, THAT BECAME THE MOTIVE.
00:24:39.250 --> 00:24:43.120
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LUKE 6:38,
00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:45.070
GIVE AND IT'LL BE GIVEN TO YOU,
00:24:45.090 --> 00:24:46.130
WAS PREACHED AS THE MOTIVE OF GIVING
00:24:46.150 --> 00:24:48.140
INSTEAD OF THE REWARD OF GIVING.
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.230
HALLELUJAH
00:24:50.250 --> 00:24:57.020
HALLELUJAH
00:24:57.040 --> 00:25:03.250
HALLELUJAH
00:25:03.270 --> 00:25:09.220

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.280
HALLELUJAH
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:16.090
HOW GREAT YOU ARE
00:25:16.110 --> 00:25:19.190
HOW GREAT YOU ARE
00:25:19.210 --> 00:25:23.170
HOW GREAT YOU ARE
00:25:23.190 --> 00:25:26.110
HOW GREAT YOU ARE
00:25:26.130 --> 00:25:31.260
- RICH DOESN'T MEAN HOW MUCH YOU HAVE,
00:25:31.280 --> 00:25:34.260
IT MEANS HOW MUCH DID YOU GIVE AWAY.
00:25:34.280 --> 00:25:38.100
HOW MUCH DID YOU INVEST IN OTHER PEOPLE?
00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:41.050
AND THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE I EVER MEET, MATT,
00:25:41.070 --> 00:25:44.060
ARE THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE LIFE AWAY.
00:25:44.080 --> 00:25:46.180
AND THE MOST MISERABLE PEOPLE I MEET,
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.220
ARE THE ONES WHO TRY TO HAND ONTO IT.
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.240
AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE A BILLION DOLLARS
00:25:50.260 --> 00:25:53.240
OR IF YOU BARELY HAVE $300, PEOPLE WITH $300
00:25:53.260 --> 00:25:57.280
WHO GIVE IT AWAY, WHO INVEST IT IN OTHERS IN GOD'S WORK
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:02.090
AND IN JUST HELPING PEOPLE, ARE THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE I KNOW.
00:26:02.110 --> 00:26:06.270
- BOBBY SCHULLER: WHY ARE YOU SUCH A POSITIVE PERSON?
00:26:06.290 --> 00:26:08.140
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:09.210
- GOSH, I JUST, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE ARE,
00:26:09.230 --> 00:26:14.210
THAT WE SEE THE WORLD THROUGH EITHER NOTHING'S A MIRACLE
00:26:14.230 --> 00:26:19.020
OR EVERYTHING'S A MIRACLE, RIGHT?
00:26:19.040 --> 00:26:20.210
- [HOST] ISN'T IT TRUE?
00:26:20.230 --> 00:26:22.020
- AND I JUST, I JUST SEE, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER MY DAD,
00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:26.070
WE HAVE A FULL GLASS HERE, BUT AS CHILDREN,
00:26:26.090 --> 00:26:28.160
I REMEMBER HIM DOING, YOU KNOW, THAT REALLY OBVIOUS THING
00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:31.210
WITH THE GLASS OF THE ILLUSTRATION OF THE GLASS
00:26:31.230 --> 00:26:34.220
BEING HALF FULL AND HALF EMPTY AND YOU'RE JUST SO GRATEFUL
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:38.080
THAT YOU HAVE A GLASS, THAT THERE'S ANYTHING IN IT.
00:26:38.100 --> 00:26:40.200
AND IT'S REALLY JUST GRATITUDE.
00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:43.210
IT'S LIKE STARTING YOUR DAY IN GRATITUDE.
00:26:43.230 --> 00:26:45.080
I REMEMBER MANY YEARS AGO SOMEBODY SHARING WITH ME
00:26:45.100 --> 00:26:48.220
A VERY SIMPLE THING THAT WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.230
AND YOUR FIRST FOOT HITS THE FLOOR, TO SAY THANK.
00:26:51.250 --> 00:26:55.200
AND WHEN YOUR SECOND FOOT HITS THE FLOOR, TO SAY YOU.
00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:58.260
AND JUST TO SAY THANK YOU ALL THE WAY IN TO THE BATHROOM,
00:26:58.280 --> 00:27:02.110
THANK YOU, GOD.
00:27:02.130 --> 00:27:03.240
AND JUST TO START YOUR DAY IN GRATITUDE BECAUSE TO SAY
00:27:03.260 --> 00:27:06.270
THANK YOU IS A COMPLETE, THERE'S FULLNESS IN IT,
00:27:06.290 --> 00:27:10.150
ISN'T THERE? - [HOST] YEAH, YEAH.
00:27:10.170 --> 00:27:12.040
- AND I KNOW THAT COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY.
00:27:12.060 --> 00:27:15.190
- [HOST] THAT'S RIGHT. - IT'S THE THIEF OF JOY.
00:27:15.210 --> 00:27:17.150
- [HOST] YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:27:17.170 --> 00:27:19.000
- BECAUSE THE MINUTE YOU SAY, OH, WELL, I HAVE THIS GLASS,
00:27:19.020 --> 00:27:22.160
BUT HE HAS THREE GLASSES, NOW I'M DISSATISFIED
00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:27.170
WITH WHAT I'VE GOT.
00:27:27.190 --> 00:27:29.020
AND THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE SOMEBODY WHO HAS SOMETHING
00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:32.170
THAT YOU THINK YOU'D BE HAPPY IF YOU HAD.
00:27:32.190 --> 00:27:35.230
AND THE MINUTE YOU LOOK OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF,
00:27:35.250 --> 00:27:38.040
WE HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED.
00:27:38.060 --> 00:27:39.280
- WE NEED TO BEGIN TO EXPECT
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.290
THE SUPERNATURAL HELP OF GOD.
00:27:43.010 --> 00:27:45.210
WE NEED TO BE SUPER NATURAL.
00:27:45.230 --> 00:27:47.290
WE ARE NATURAL PEOPLE, BUT WE'RE TO BE SUPER NATURAL.
00:27:48.010 --> 00:27:51.070
SO IF YOU DON'T EXPECT MIRACLES, IF YOU DON'T SPEND TIME
00:27:51.090 --> 00:27:54.040
IN GOD'S WORD, FOR EXAMPLE, READING ALL THE EXAMPLES,
00:27:54.060 --> 00:27:57.220
THE HOLY SPIRIT FLOWED THROUGH PEOPLE,
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.250
AND THEN EXPECT THAT IT'S GONNA FLOW THROUGH YOU,
00:27:59.270 --> 00:28:02.150
YOU NEVER WILL SEE THE MIRACULOUS.
00:28:02.170 --> 00:28:04.220
- HE SEES THE BEST IN US, HE BELIEVES THE BEST IN US.
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:08.170
WE ARE USUALLY SO WARY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN MISSED
00:28:08.190 --> 00:28:11.170
AND MARGINALIZED AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POINTED OUT
00:28:11.190 --> 00:28:14.080
THE WORST THAT WE FORGET HE CHOOSES TO SEE US
00:28:14.100 --> 00:28:18.180
THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:20.190
WHEN WE LOOKS AT ME, I AM BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE OF JESUS.
00:28:20.210 --> 00:28:23.220
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:24.180
- AND THE WINNER IS...
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.070
- RECKLESS LOVE.
00:28:27.090 --> 00:28:28.120

00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:30.200
- AND WORSHIP SONG OF THE YEAR IS...
00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:34.090
RECKLESS LOVE, CORY ASBURY.
00:28:34.110 --> 00:28:38.230
BEFORE I SPOKE A WORD, YOU WERE SINGING OVER ME
00:28:38.250 --> 00:28:47.220
YOU HAVE BEEN SO, SO GOOD TO ME
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:52.120
- CHARLES STANLEY: HERE'S THE TRUTH.
00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:53.270
I CAN'T TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS
00:28:53.290 --> 00:28:59.070
BEEN GOD SAYING, DO THIS, AND I'VE SAID, OKAY.
00:28:59.090 --> 00:29:02.210
LOTS OF DOUBT SOMETIMES, BUT OKAY.
00:29:02.230 --> 00:29:06.270
AND HE'S PROVIDED EVERY SINGLE THING WE'VE NEEDED
00:29:06.290 --> 00:29:09.110
AND STILL DOES IT EVERY DAY.
00:29:09.130 --> 00:29:11.060
OH, THE OVERWHELMING, NEVER-ENDING
00:29:11.080 --> 00:29:16.030
RECKLESS LOVE OF GOD
00:29:16.050 --> 00:29:19.130
OH, IT CHASES ME DOWN, FIGHTS 'TIL I'M FOUND
00:29:19.150 --> 00:29:24.180
LEAVES THE NINETY-NINE
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:27.290
AND I COULDN'T EARN IT, AND I DON'T DESERVE IT
00:29:28.010 --> 00:29:32.090
STILL, YOU GIVE YOURSELF AWAY
00:29:32.110 --> 00:29:36.170
OH, THE OVERWHELMING, NEVER-ENDING
00:29:36.190 --> 00:29:41.240
RECKLESS LOVE OF GOD
00:29:41.260 --> 00:29:46.030
- LIFE FULL OF MEANING AND JOY,
00:29:46.050 --> 00:29:49.100
A LIFE FILLED WITH ABUNDANCE,
00:29:49.120 --> 00:29:51.040
A LIFE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER AND LOVE,
00:29:51.060 --> 00:29:52.270
A LIFE WITH FRIENDSHIP AND WITH A FUTURE AND A HOPE.
00:29:52.290 --> 00:29:55.170
IT'S AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE, BUT IT DOESN'T COME EASY.
00:29:55.190 --> 00:29:59.240
IT COMES WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE THAT LIFE.
00:29:59.260 --> 00:30:02.260
- DO YOU REALIZE WHAT A WITNESS WE WOULD BE TO THIS WORLD
00:30:02.280 --> 00:30:06.070
IF WE COULD TRULY LOVE GOD AND LOVE PEOPLE
00:30:06.090 --> 00:30:10.040
AND NOT COMPLICATE IT ANY MORE THAN THAT,
00:30:10.060 --> 00:30:11.290
BUT A LOT OF US, WE DO LOVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART,
00:30:12.010 --> 00:30:15.040
ALL OUR SOUL, ALL OUR MIND AND WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR
00:30:15.060 --> 00:30:18.220
AS WE LOVE OURSELVES.
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:19.290
THE REASON WE HAVE SO MANY CHALLENGES, THOUGH,
00:30:20.010 --> 00:30:21.270
IS WE DON'T REALLY LOVE OURSELVES.
00:30:21.290 --> 00:30:25.160
WE DON'T REALLY, REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS RECKLESS LOVE
00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:29.160
OF GOD THAT WE'RE SINGING ABOUT TONIGHT.
00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:32.020
WE DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT GOD LOVES US
00:30:32.040 --> 00:30:34.220
UNCONDITIONALLY, WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.240
OH, THE OVERWHELMING, NEVER-ENDING,
00:30:37.260 --> 00:30:43.160
RECKLESS LOVE OF GOD
00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:46.160
OH, IT CHASES ME DOWN, FIGHTS 'TIL I'M FOUND
00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:51.270
LEAVES THE NINETY-NINE
00:30:51.290 --> 00:30:55.040
I COULDN'T EARN IT, AND I DON'T DESERVE IT
00:30:55.060 --> 00:30:59.180
STILL, YOU GIVE YOURSELF AWAY
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:03.290
- PEOPLE WANNA CHANGE THE WAY THEY FEEL,
00:31:04.010 --> 00:31:05.290
BUT YOU THINK FIRST, AND THEN YOU FEEL.
00:31:06.010 --> 00:31:08.170
SO, IF I THINK BADLY ABOUT YOU, I'LL FEEL BADLY ABOUT YOU,
00:31:08.190 --> 00:31:11.160
AND ULTIMATELY I'LL ACT BADLY TOWARDS YOU.
00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:14.010
AND SO WE COME ALL THE WAY BACK TO SUSTAINING
00:31:14.030 --> 00:31:16.120
SPIRITUAL LIFE AND ALL OF THAT.
00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:18.010
I HONESTY BELIEVE THAT IT COMES ALL THE WAY BACK
00:31:18.030 --> 00:31:21.250
TO CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK, WHICH WILL CHANGE THE WAY
00:31:21.270 --> 00:31:24.280
THAT WE FEEL, FEEL ABOUT CHRIST, FEEL ABOUT GOD,
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.080
FEEL ABOUT LOVING JESUS, FEEL ABOUT NEWNESS OF LIFE,
00:31:27.100 --> 00:31:30.130
FEELING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:31:30.150 --> 00:31:32.090
THERE'S NO SHADOW YOU WON'T LIGHT UP
00:31:32.110 --> 00:31:34.130
MOUNTAIN YOU WON'T CLIMB UP
00:31:34.150 --> 00:31:36.160
COMING AFTER ME
00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:40.090
THERE'S NO WALL YOU WON'T KICK DOWN
00:31:40.110 --> 00:31:43.010
LIE YOU WON'T TEAR DOWN
00:31:43.030 --> 00:31:45.020
COMING AFTER ME
00:31:45.040 --> 00:31:48.220
THERE'S NO SHADOW YOU WON'T LIGHT UP
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.210
- YOU CAN'T SAY, SO MANY PEOPLE SAY, WOW,
00:31:51.230 --> 00:31:53.040
I'LL NEVER BE LIKE THIS GUY. HE NEVER DID NO WRONG.
00:31:53.060 --> 00:31:55.070
YOU GOT TO TELL THE PEOPLE.
00:31:55.090 --> 00:31:56.140
YOU GOTTA GET DOWN THERE WITH THEM AND SAY,
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:58.040
HEY, MAN, I WAS ONCE IN SIN BUT I FOUND JESUS.
00:31:58.060 --> 00:32:01.120
JESUS LIFTED ME UP.
00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:03.020
HE COULD DO THE SAME FOR YOU.
00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:04.160
PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THAT.
00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:06.140
THERE'S NO SHADOW YOU WON'T LIGHT UP
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.010
MOUNTAIN YOU WON'T CLIMB UP
00:32:09.030 --> 00:32:11.040
YOU'RE COMING AFTER ME
00:32:11.060 --> 00:32:14.230
THERE'S NO WALL YOU WON'T KICK DOWN
00:32:14.250 --> 00:32:17.220
LIE YOU WON'T TEAR DOWN
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.210
YOU'RE COMING AFTER ME
00:32:19.230 --> 00:32:23.140
THERE'S NO SHADOW YOU WON'T LIGHT UP
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:26.090
MOUNTAIN YOU WON'T CLIMB UP
00:32:26.110 --> 00:32:28.150
YOU'RE COMING AFTER ME
00:32:28.170 --> 00:32:32.220
THERE'S NO WALL YOU WON'T KICK DOWN
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:35.030
LIE YOU WON'T TEAR DOWN
00:32:35.050 --> 00:32:37.020
YOU'RE COMING AFTER ME
00:32:37.040 --> 00:32:39.180
OH, THE OVERWHELMING, NEVER-ENDING
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:44.180
- WHATEVER PATH GOD TAKES YOU DOWN,
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.250
AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THAT'S GONNA BE.
00:32:47.270 --> 00:32:49.200
I CAN TELL YOU THAT HE'S FAITHFUL
00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:51.220
AND HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.200
IF YOU ASK GOD TO HELP YOU IN THIS
00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:56.160
AND YOU'RE WILLING TO DO WHAT HE SHOWS YOU TO DO,
00:32:56.180 --> 00:33:00.140
THEN YOU WILL MAKE PROGRESS A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.280
OH, THE OVERWHELMING, NEVER-ENDING
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:11.010
RECKLESS LOVE OF GOD, YEAH
00:33:11.030 --> 00:33:19.220
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE YOUR LOVE, FATHER.
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.000
NOTHING LIKE YOUR LOVE, FATHER
00:33:22.020 --> 00:33:34.060
- LOOK, THERE ISN'T ANYBODY VIEWING THIS BROADCAST
00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:36.200
THAT DOESN'T WANNA LET GO OF STRESS AND WORRY AND THIS.
00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:38.270
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
00:33:38.290 --> 00:33:40.070
- WELL, IT COMES THROUGH A REVELATION, A VISION,
00:33:40.090 --> 00:33:43.050
IF YOU WOULD THAT YOU NEED TO RECEIVE FROM THE LORD.
00:33:43.070 --> 00:33:45.240
THE PICTURE THAT PROVISION,
00:33:45.260 --> 00:33:47.070
SUPPLY IS ALWAYS COMING YOUR WAY.
00:33:47.090 --> 00:33:49.030
AND THAT'S WHAT THE LORD ENDEAVORS TO TELL US
00:33:49.050 --> 00:33:51.190
WHEN HE GAVE US THE ANALOGY OF I AM THE VINE,
00:33:51.210 --> 00:33:54.160
YOU ARE THE BRANCHES.
00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.280
THE WHOLE PICTURE IS A PICTURE OF SUPPLY
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.280
BECAUSE THE BRANCH IS THE FRUIT-PRODUCING
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.030
PART OF THE VINE, BUT IT IS ONE WITH THE VINE.
00:34:01.050 --> 00:34:03.130
SO HE'S TELLING US, YOU GO OUT THERE AS A BRANCH,
00:34:03.150 --> 00:34:06.010
BUT I AM YOUR VINE LIFE, THE SAME LIFE, THE SAME SAP,
00:34:06.030 --> 00:34:09.080
THE SAME SUPPLY, THE SAME GRACE, THE SAME WHOLENESS
00:34:09.100 --> 00:34:13.190
AND POWER THAT YOU SEE ME OPERATE IN.
00:34:13.210 --> 00:34:16.110
WHEREVER YOU GO, KNOW THIS, ABIDE IN ME.
00:34:16.130 --> 00:34:19.200
AND ABIDE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TURNED INTO A WORK.
00:34:19.220 --> 00:34:22.030
ABIDE MEANS REST AND THE SUPPLY WILL FLOW.
00:34:22.050 --> 00:34:25.260
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE FACED WITH A STRESSFUL SITUATION,
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.070
KNOW THIS, THAT THE VINE, THE LORD JESUS IS SUPPLYING
00:34:28.090 --> 00:34:31.250
YOU WITH PEACE PEACE.
00:34:31.270 --> 00:34:33.230
WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE A TOUGH DECISION OR YOU NEED WISDOM
00:34:33.250 --> 00:34:37.130
IN CERTAIN AREA, HE SUPPLIES YOU WITH THE WISDOM
00:34:37.150 --> 00:34:39.190
AND DISCERNMENT FOR THAT SITUATION.
00:34:39.210 --> 00:34:41.210
SO YOU MUST ALWAYS BE SUPPLY-CONSCIOUS,
00:34:41.230 --> 00:34:43.100
SO IT'S A REVELATION.
00:34:43.120 --> 00:34:44.240
IT IS HARD IF YOU ARE OPERATING BY THE FLESH.
00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:47.230
IT'S THE HARDEST THING TO LET GO
00:34:47.250 --> 00:34:49.230
BECAUSE THE FLESH WANTS TO TAKE CONTROL.
00:34:49.250 --> 00:34:51.240
IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL.
00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:52.240
I'VE GOT THIS, I'VE GOT THIS.
00:34:52.260 --> 00:34:54.060
AND THAT'S WHY STRESS COME, BY YOU TRYING TO OPERATE,
00:34:54.080 --> 00:34:57.180
BY YOU TRYING TO TAKE HOLD OF A SITUATION.
00:34:57.200 --> 00:34:59.170
SO, LIVE THE LET GO LIFE IS BOTH EASY AND HARD.
00:34:59.190 --> 00:35:04.180
IT'S EASY IF YOU HAVE A REVELATION OF WHAT GOD IS DOING,
00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:07.140
ALREADY HE'S SUPPLYING.
00:35:07.160 --> 00:35:09.040
BUT IT'S HARD IF YOU DON'T SEE THAT AND YOU ARE OPERATING
00:35:09.060 --> 00:35:12.270
BY YOUR EFFORTS, YOUR PERFORMANCE, YOUR WORKS.
00:35:12.290 --> 00:35:17.050
OPEN THE FLOOD GATES OF HEAVEN
00:35:17.070 --> 00:35:21.250
LET IT RAIN
00:35:21.270 --> 00:35:24.080
- SING IT OVER THE STATE OF TENNESSEE
00:35:24.100 --> 00:35:26.020
LET IT RAIN
00:35:26.040 --> 00:35:30.060
OPEN THE FLOOD GATES OF HEAVEN
00:35:30.080 --> 00:35:35.010
- WELL, IF YOU OBEY GOD, IT'S NOT ALWAYS GONNA BE EASY.
00:35:35.030 --> 00:35:39.020
IN FACT, SOMETIMES YOU THINK YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.
00:35:39.040 --> 00:35:42.180
BUT THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO BELIEVE
00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:45.060
THAT GOD IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS AND THAT HE'LL DO
00:35:45.080 --> 00:35:48.000
WHAT HE SAYS HE'LL DO.
00:35:48.020 --> 00:35:49.230
AND I'VE LIVED LONG ENOUGH AND I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN
00:35:49.250 --> 00:35:52.000
LONG ENOUGH AND A PASTOR LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THIS,
00:35:52.020 --> 00:35:55.030
YOU CAN LEAVE ALL THE CONSEQUENCES THAT
00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:58.050
YOU FACE BEFORE GOD.
00:35:58.070 --> 00:36:01.230
LET IT RAIN
00:36:01.250 --> 00:36:05.280
LET IT RAIN
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.130
LET IT RAIN
00:36:08.150 --> 00:36:10.070
OPEN THE FLOOD GATES OF HEAVEN
00:36:10.090 --> 00:36:15.090
- AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT.
00:36:15.110 --> 00:36:20.010
AND I'VE BEEN THROUGH SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES,
00:36:20.030 --> 00:36:22.140
IF SOMEBODY HAD TOLD ME I WAS GONNA FACE THEM,
00:36:22.160 --> 00:36:24.240
I'D SAY, NO.
00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:26.200
BUT BY LEAVING ALL THE CONSEQUENCES TO HIM,
00:36:26.220 --> 00:36:28.250
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THIS, YOU'RE SAYING, GOD, I TRUST YOU.
00:36:28.270 --> 00:36:32.140
I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE BIG ENOUGH.
00:36:32.160 --> 00:36:33.250
I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE LOVING ENOUGH.
00:36:33.270 --> 00:36:35.120
I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE CARE
00:36:35.140 --> 00:36:38.060
OF WHATEVER HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF MY OBEDIENCE
00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:41.200
OF WHAT YOU'VE TOLD ME TO DO.
00:36:41.220 --> 00:36:43.120
OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN
00:36:43.140 --> 00:36:48.050
LET IT RAIN
00:36:48.070 --> 00:36:50.160
- IF YOU WILL BEGIN PURPOSELY OBEYING GOD
00:36:50.180 --> 00:36:54.130
IN A DIFFICULT TIME IN YOUR LIFE,
00:36:54.150 --> 00:36:56.160
HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DISCOVER.
00:36:56.180 --> 00:36:57.230
YOU'RE GONNA DISCOVER, THIS IS THE WAY TO LIVE.
00:36:57.250 --> 00:37:01.200
YOU MAY GET DISAPPOINTED, BUT IT WON'T BE BECAUSE HE
00:37:01.220 --> 00:37:04.080
DIDN'T KEEP HIS WORD.
00:37:04.100 --> 00:37:06.130
GOD WILL KEEP HIS WORD IF YOU WILL OBEY.
00:37:06.150 --> 00:37:10.170
OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN
00:37:10.190 --> 00:37:15.060
LET IT RAIN
00:37:15.080 --> 00:37:19.100
LET IT RAIN
00:37:19.120 --> 00:37:23.200
OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN
00:37:23.220 --> 00:37:28.160
- TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
00:37:28.180 --> 00:37:30.130
LEAN NOT TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING,
00:37:30.150 --> 00:37:32.140
IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM,
00:37:32.160 --> 00:37:34.210
AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH.
00:37:34.230 --> 00:37:38.110
YOU CAN'T EVER GO WRONG TRUSTING GOD,
00:37:38.130 --> 00:37:41.270
AND THAT'S MY PRAYER FOR YOU.
00:37:41.290 --> 00:37:44.010
LET IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN
00:37:44.030 --> 00:37:45.260
LET IT RAIN
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:50.010
OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN
00:37:50.030 --> 00:37:55.000
LET IT RAIN
00:37:55.020 --> 00:37:59.000
LET IT RAIN
00:37:59.020 --> 00:38:03.260
OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:07.230
- WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND I DON'T THINK
00:38:07.250 --> 00:38:09.050
WE SAY THAT OFTEN ENOUGH, BUT IF YOU'VE GOT
00:38:09.070 --> 00:38:12.280
A REDEDICATION, IF YOU'VE REDEDICATED YOUR LIFE
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.130
TO CHRIST, IF YOU'VE JUST BEEN SAVED FOR THE FIRST TIME,
00:38:15.150 --> 00:38:17.280
WE LOVE TO HEAR THAT.
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:19.050
IF YOU HAVE PRAYER REQUESTS, WE HAVE PEOPLE,
00:38:19.070 --> 00:38:21.210
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL PRAYER PARTNERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD
00:38:21.230 --> 00:38:24.230
PRAYING FOR YOU.
00:38:24.250 --> 00:38:26.240
SO THAT PRAYER LINE'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO YOU.
00:38:26.260 --> 00:38:30.150
AND WE JUST LOVE HEARING FROM YOU.
00:38:30.170 --> 00:38:31.160
YOU CAN GO ON THE INTERNET.
00:38:31.180 --> 00:38:32.270
- AND WE LOVE HEARING FROM YOU ABOUT WHAT THINGS
00:38:32.290 --> 00:38:36.050
ARE HAPPENING, TESTIMONIES AND ALL OF THAT.
00:38:36.070 --> 00:38:38.250
- FOR I KNOW THE PLANS AND THE THOUGHTS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU,
00:38:38.270 --> 00:38:42.260
THOUGHTS OF GOOD AND NOT OF EVIL, THOUGHTS OF HOPE
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:46.100
AND AN EXPECTED END.
00:38:46.120 --> 00:38:49.010
I FOUND MYSELF IN A VERY SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP
00:38:49.030 --> 00:38:53.000
THAT TURNED OUT TO BE ABUSIVE.
00:38:53.020 --> 00:38:56.080
AND THAT SCRIPTURE FADED AWAY MORE AND MORE.
00:38:56.100 --> 00:38:59.200
I BEGAN TO LOSE HOPE AND JUST KIND OF LOST MY WAY.
00:38:59.220 --> 00:39:06.240
I FOUND MYSELF IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM OF OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL.
00:39:06.260 --> 00:39:11.220
HE GOT DRUNK AND HE SMACKED ME AND UNFORTUNATELY,
00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:16.080
WHEN HE HIT ME, MY MOUTH WAS OPEN AND MY JAW SHIFTED
00:39:16.100 --> 00:39:20.050
AND WAS SHATTERED IN TWO PLACES.
00:39:20.070 --> 00:39:23.010
AND MY MOUTH WAS WIRED SHUT FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS
00:39:23.030 --> 00:39:25.230
AND I DRANK OUT OF A STRAW.
00:39:25.250 --> 00:39:28.090
I WISH I COULD SAY THAT THAT WAS THE LAST TIME
00:39:28.110 --> 00:39:31.020
THAT THAT HAPPENED TO ME, BUT LIKE MOST OF US,
00:39:31.040 --> 00:39:35.110
WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES
00:39:35.130 --> 00:39:38.100
AND ALL THE WRONG FACES AND BECAUSE OF THAT BROKENNESS,
00:39:38.120 --> 00:39:41.080
I FELT A LITTLE LESS WORTHY AND FOUND MYSELF
00:39:41.100 --> 00:39:45.010
IN ANOTHER BAD RELATIONSHIP.
00:39:45.030 --> 00:39:47.150
AND ALTHOUGH THERE WASN'T MUCH PHYSICAL ABUSE,
00:39:47.170 --> 00:39:50.200
IT WAS A LOT OF EMOTIONAL AND VERBAL ABUSE.
00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:56.140
WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE THINGS WORK AND SOMEONE'S
00:39:56.160 --> 00:39:59.090
JUST CONSTANTLY PUTTING YOU DOWN, IT'S VERY HARD
00:39:59.110 --> 00:40:01.150
TO FIND HOPE WHEN YOU'RE CONSTANTLY BEING TOLD
00:40:01.170 --> 00:40:04.120
THAT YOU'RE NOTHING, THAT YOU'RE UGLY,
00:40:04.140 --> 00:40:06.250
THAT NO ONE'S EVER GONNA LOVE YOU.
00:40:06.270 --> 00:40:11.130
IT WAS MOTHER'S DAY OF 2009 THAT I CRIED OUT FOR HELP.
00:40:11.150 --> 00:40:17.170
I HAD BEEN ABUSING ALCOHOL, CIGARETTES,
00:40:17.190 --> 00:40:21.080
DABBLING INTO OTHER DRUG ACTIVITY AND I KNEW THAT GOD
00:40:21.100 --> 00:40:26.090
HAD A LIFE BETTER THAN THIS PLAN FOR ME,
00:40:26.110 --> 00:40:29.080
AND I KNEW I COULDN'T DO IT ON MY OWN,
00:40:29.100 --> 00:40:31.220
ALTHOUGH I HAD TRIED MANY TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY.
00:40:31.240 --> 00:40:35.180
SO, HE ANSWERED MY CALL.
00:40:35.200 --> 00:40:39.110
AND DAY BY DAY, LISTENING TO TBN, WATCHING THE PROGRAMMING,
00:40:39.130 --> 00:40:44.230
LISTING TO PEOPLE'S STORY OF HOW THEY'VE OVERCOME,
00:40:44.250 --> 00:40:48.030
I BEGAN TO GAIN STRENGTH.
00:40:48.050 --> 00:40:50.140
READING THE BIBLE AND LISTENING TO THE WORD OF HOW GOD
00:40:50.160 --> 00:40:55.010
LOVES ME AND HOW HE HAS A GREAT PLAN FOR ME,
00:40:55.030 --> 00:40:58.010
RESTORED MY FAITH AND INCREASED MY BELIEF.
00:40:58.030 --> 00:41:01.180
SO, AS I CONTINUE TO WATCH PROGRAMMING AND READ BOOKS,
00:41:01.200 --> 00:41:06.190
I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND THAT DESPITE ALL OF MY CHALLENGES
00:41:06.210 --> 00:41:09.260
AND ALL MY ADVERSITY, THAT MY LIFE WAS NOT OVER,
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:12.230
THAT GOD WOULD USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW OTHERS
00:41:12.250 --> 00:41:17.060
THAT HE STILL IS A SAVIOR, THAT HE STILL IS A HEALER,
00:41:17.080 --> 00:41:21.110
THAT IF YOU CALL, HE WILL INDEED ANSWER.
00:41:21.130 --> 00:41:26.090
AND SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE DEVELOPED A STRONG RELATIONSHIP
00:41:26.110 --> 00:41:29.200
WITH GOD AND HERE I SIT SEVEN YEARS LATER,
00:41:29.220 --> 00:41:33.020
STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.
00:41:33.040 --> 00:41:36.050
AND YOU MAY BE FACING SOMETHING RIGHT NOW
00:41:36.070 --> 00:41:38.080
THAT'S ASTRONOMICAL AND YOU DON'T SEE ANY WAY OUT.
00:41:38.100 --> 00:41:42.100
YOU'RE JUST LIKE THE DISCIPLES ON THAT BOAT
00:41:42.120 --> 00:41:44.230
AND THE STORM IS RAGING.
00:41:44.250 --> 00:41:47.080
BUT BELIEVE YOU, GOD IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU,
00:41:47.100 --> 00:41:50.080
SO PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP, HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR SAVIOR'S HAND.
00:41:50.100 --> 00:41:54.180
HE IS THERE.
00:41:54.200 --> 00:41:56.050
THE STRUGGLE IS JUST GONNA GIVE YOU STRENGTH.
00:41:56.070 --> 00:41:58.280
THE OPPOSITION IS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GOD TO SHOW YOU
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:03.020
WHO HE IS AND HIS LIFE.
00:42:03.040 --> 00:42:05.030
IT'S NOT OVER, IT'S NOT OVER.
00:42:05.050 --> 00:42:08.150
- WE SHARE TESTIMONIES AND, YOU KNOW, THE CRAZY THING IS,
00:42:08.170 --> 00:42:11.190
I GUESS IT SHOULDN'T SEEM CRAZY.
00:42:11.210 --> 00:42:13.030
IT STILL SEEMS CRAZY, I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 20 YEARS,
00:42:13.050 --> 00:42:15.100
IS WE SHARE SOMETHING ON, LET'S SAY BETHEL TV
00:42:15.120 --> 00:42:18.250
OR TBN OR WHATEVER, INEVITABLY THE PEOPLE WILL START
00:42:18.270 --> 00:42:23.280
EXPERIENCING THAT SAME THING.
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.120
- [MATT] THANK YOU, LORD.
00:42:25.140 --> 00:42:26.220
- I WAS READING REVELATION 19:10 WHERE IT SAYS
00:42:26.240 --> 00:42:29.010
THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
00:42:29.030 --> 00:42:32.010
WHEN I READ IT, YOU KNOW HOW THE SCRIPTURE DOES,
00:42:32.030 --> 00:42:34.050
IT JUST BECAME LIFE TO ME, BUT I WAS CLUELESS
00:42:34.070 --> 00:42:36.160
AS TO WHAT IT MEANT.
00:42:36.180 --> 00:42:38.040
SO I SAID, GOD, I SAID, YOU GOTTA TEACH ME THIS VERSE.
00:42:38.060 --> 00:42:40.040
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.
00:42:40.060 --> 00:42:41.280
AND A LITTLE WHILE LATER THE SAME DAY,
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.210
ONE OF THE MEN IN THE CHURCH CAME TO MY OFFICE,
00:42:44.230 --> 00:42:46.280
STOOD IN THE DOORWAY AND HE JUST, OUT OF NOWHERE SAID,
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:50.280
I JUST WANTED TO TELL A QUICK STORY, QUICK TESTIMONY.
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.290
AND HE BEGAN TO TELL ME HOW HIS MARRIAGE HAD BEEN HEALED
00:42:54.010 --> 00:42:56.220
AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS WIFE.
00:42:56.240 --> 00:42:58.200
AND HE STOOD THERE FOR MAYBE FIVE MINUTES AND THEN HE
00:42:58.220 --> 00:43:01.190
SAID BYE, TURNED TO LEAVE, AND THEN HE CAME RIGHT BACK
00:43:01.210 --> 00:43:04.170
INTO THE DOORWAY AND HE SAID, YOU CAN SHARE THIS
00:43:04.190 --> 00:43:06.210
WITH ANYONE YOU WANT.
00:43:06.230 --> 00:43:08.080
AS SOON AS HE DID, I KNEW IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE PRAYER
00:43:08.100 --> 00:43:10.230
I PRAYED THAT MORNING.
00:43:10.250 --> 00:43:11.230
WHAT DID HE DO?
00:43:11.250 --> 00:43:12.280
HE SHARED A TESTIMONY.
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:14.160
WHAT DID HE SAY AT THE END?
00:43:14.180 --> 00:43:15.240
I CAN SHARE THAT TESTIMONY WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
00:43:15.260 --> 00:43:18.100
IN OTHER WORDS, IN THE CONTEXT OF REVELATION 19:10,
00:43:18.120 --> 00:43:21.230
I CAN PROPHESY GOD'S INTENTION TO HEAL A MARRIAGE
00:43:21.250 --> 00:43:25.260
TO SOMEBODY ELSE THAT I TALK TO BASED ON THIS
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:29.120
LEGAL PRECEDENT THAT IS SET.
00:43:29.140 --> 00:43:31.220
BECAUSE A TESTIMONY'S JUST THAT, IT'S A LEGAL PRECEDENT.
00:43:31.240 --> 00:43:34.100
IT REVEALS THE NATURE OF GOD, THE HEART OF GOD,
00:43:34.120 --> 00:43:36.140
THE COVENANT OF GOD, THE PURPOSE OF GOD.
00:43:36.160 --> 00:43:39.000
AND SO HE SHARED THAT TESTIMONY AND SO THAT STARTED
00:43:39.020 --> 00:43:43.090
THE JOURNEY FOR ME.
00:43:43.110 --> 00:43:44.240
I AM BLESSED, I AM CALLED
00:43:44.260 --> 00:43:47.250
I AM HEALED, I AM WHOLE
00:43:47.270 --> 00:43:51.050
I AM SAVED IN JESUS' NAME
00:43:51.070 --> 00:43:58.060
HIGHLY FAVORED, ANOINTED
00:43:58.080 --> 00:44:02.150
FILLED WITH YOUR POWER
00:44:02.170 --> 00:44:05.150
FOR THE GLORY OF JESUS' NAME
00:44:05.170 --> 00:44:13.090
- ALL OF THIS DEPRESSION, ALL OF THESE SUICIDES,
00:44:13.110 --> 00:44:17.290
ALL OF THESE PILLS, YOU 17 AND DEPRESSED,
00:44:18.010 --> 00:44:22.140
YOU DON'T HAVE BILLS, YOU LIVE AT HOME,
00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:26.230
YOU GOTTA CAR AND CABLE IN YOUR ROOM
00:44:26.250 --> 00:44:29.100
AND YOUR OWN BATHROOM.
00:44:29.120 --> 00:44:32.020
AND YOU'RE DEPRESSED?
00:44:32.040 --> 00:44:33.180
THAT'S A DEVIL WHO'S BEEN LYING TO YOU
00:44:33.200 --> 00:44:37.090
AND I BIND THAT DEVIL IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:44:37.110 --> 00:44:42.140
GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE MINDS OF THIS GENERATION.
00:44:42.160 --> 00:44:46.190
LOOSE THEM, DEVIL, AND LET THEM GO.
00:44:46.210 --> 00:44:48.250
I NEED SOME PRAYER WARRIORS IN HERE.
00:44:48.270 --> 00:44:50.200
(CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
00:44:50.220 --> 00:44:56.030
IS DEPRESSION A REAL THING?
00:44:56.050 --> 00:44:57.180
ABSOLUTELY.
00:44:57.200 --> 00:44:59.200
BUT IT'S ROOTED IN A DEVIL THAT LIES TO YOU
00:44:59.220 --> 00:45:02.030
AND TELLS YOU YOU ARE NOT VALUABLE, YOU ARE NOT LOVED,
00:45:02.050 --> 00:45:05.070
YOU ARE NOT WANTED AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER.
00:45:05.090 --> 00:45:08.040
AND ALL OF IT IS A LIE BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T MAKE ANY
00:45:08.060 --> 00:45:11.140
ACCIDENTAL HUMANS.
00:45:11.160 --> 00:45:13.080
(CHEERING)
00:45:13.100 --> 00:45:16.100
YOU CAN'T SNEAK INTO THE EARTH,
00:45:16.120 --> 00:45:18.140
YOU HAVE TO BE SPOKEN INTO THE EARTH.
00:45:18.160 --> 00:45:21.230
SING GOD, YOU'RE SO GOOD
00:45:21.250 --> 00:45:28.090
OH, GOD, YOU'RE SO GOOD
00:45:28.110 --> 00:45:35.100
OH, GOD, YOU'RE SO GOOD
00:45:35.120 --> 00:45:40.220
YOU'RE SO GOOD TO, SO GOOD TO ME
00:45:40.240 --> 00:45:47.090
I KNOW AND I SING
00:45:47.110 --> 00:45:48.240
OH, GOD, YOU'RE SO GOOD
00:45:48.260 --> 00:45:56.010
- GOD, WE KNOW YOU'RE AN AWESOME GOD.
00:45:56.030 --> 00:45:57.160
YOU CAN TURN ANY SITUATION AROUND.
00:45:57.180 --> 00:46:00.130
I'VE LEARNED WHEN YOU BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:46:00.150 --> 00:46:02.290
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT.
00:46:03.010 --> 00:46:04.070
I LOVE THAT IT DOESN'T SAY, JESUS DIDN'T SAY,
00:46:04.090 --> 00:46:07.070
IF YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT, THAT IT'S POSSIBLE.
00:46:07.090 --> 00:46:09.280
IF YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK ON PAPER,
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:11.170
IF YOU CAN GET THE MEDICAL REPORT LOOKING GOOD.
00:46:11.190 --> 00:46:13.160
HE SIMPLY SAID, IF YOU BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:46:13.180 --> 00:46:16.250
SO WE'RE ASKING YOU TODAY,
00:46:16.270 --> 00:46:17.270
LET'S BE BELIEVERS AND NOT DOUBTERS.
00:46:17.290 --> 00:46:20.080
LET'S BE THE ONES TO SET A NEW STANDARD FOR OUR FAMILY,
00:46:20.100 --> 00:46:23.160
TO BREAK SOME ADDICTIONS, TO BREAK SOME MEDIOCRITY.
00:46:23.180 --> 00:46:29.050
I NEVER DREAMED I WOULD BE HERE,
00:46:29.070 --> 00:46:30.110
BUT WHEN YOU TAKE THE LIMITS OFF OF GOD,
00:46:30.130 --> 00:46:32.010
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE HE CAN TAKE YOU.
00:46:32.030 --> 00:46:33.270
THERE IN YOUR POWER
00:46:33.290 --> 00:46:36.270
FOR THE GLORY IN JESUS' NAME
00:46:36.290 --> 00:46:45.180
OH, SING IT TO HIM, SING
00:46:45.200 --> 00:46:47.210
GOD, YOU'RE SO GOOD
00:46:47.230 --> 00:46:54.120
OH, GOD, YOU'RE SO GOOD
00:46:54.140 --> 00:47:00.040
- PRAYER, SIMPLE PRAYER, PRAYER IS TALKING TO GOD,
00:47:00.060 --> 00:47:03.020
JUST HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH HIM.
00:47:03.040 --> 00:47:04.100
GOD, I NEED YOU.
00:47:04.120 --> 00:47:05.160
GOD, I NEED YOU TO BE WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
00:47:05.180 --> 00:47:07.100
GOD, I NEED YOU TO WALK ME THROUGH THIS THING.
00:47:07.120 --> 00:47:09.070
GOD, I NEED YOU TO BE BY MY SIDE.
00:47:09.090 --> 00:47:11.040
PLEASE, FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, STAY WITH ME.
00:47:11.060 --> 00:47:13.180
LET YOUR BLOOD BE WITH ME, OH, LAMB OF GOD.
00:47:13.200 --> 00:47:16.040
THANK YOU RIGHT NOW, LORD, INCREASE MY TERRITORY.
00:47:16.060 --> 00:47:18.240
LET YOUR HAND OF FAVOR STAY WITH ME.
00:47:18.260 --> 00:47:20.250
KEEP ME FROM EVIL THAT I MAY NOT CAUSE PAIN.
00:47:20.270 --> 00:47:23.090
YOU'VE GOT TO PRAY AND THAT IS THE CLIMB,
00:47:23.110 --> 00:47:25.160
THEN THE MAINTAIN IS THE WORSHIP.
00:47:25.180 --> 00:47:27.040
GOD, YOU'RE WONDERFUL, HOW I LOVE YOUR NAME,
00:47:27.060 --> 00:47:29.130
HOW EXCELLENT ARE YOU, OH, LAMB OF GOD,
00:47:29.150 --> 00:47:31.220
YOU HAVE NO RIVAL, YOU HAVE NO EQUAL,
00:47:31.240 --> 00:47:34.130
YOU ARE THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD.
00:47:34.150 --> 00:47:36.240
GOD, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER DONE FOR ME.
00:47:36.260 --> 00:47:39.090
GOD, I WORSHIP YOU, ONLY YOU CAN.
00:47:39.110 --> 00:47:41.090
YOU'VE GOTTA CLIMB AND MAINTAIN
00:47:41.110 --> 00:47:43.040
AND YOU'VE GOTTA READ THE WORD.
00:47:43.060 --> 00:47:44.150
YOU'VE GOTTA GET INTO SOME OF THOSE PSALMS
00:47:44.170 --> 00:47:46.000
WHERE YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE.
00:47:46.020 --> 00:47:48.210
PSALMS 91 SAYS, HE THAT DWELLETH IN THE SECRET PLACE
00:47:48.230 --> 00:47:51.100
OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL ABIDE
00:47:51.120 --> 00:47:53.030
UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY.
00:47:53.050 --> 00:47:56.120
I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY REFUGE, MY FORTRESS,
00:47:56.140 --> 00:47:58.280
MY GOD, IN HIM WILL I TRUST.
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:01.070
SURELY, HE WILL DELIVER ME FROM THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER
00:48:01.090 --> 00:48:04.000
AND FROM THE NOISOME PESTILENCE.
00:48:04.020 --> 00:48:05.220
A THOUSAND SHALL FALL AT MY SIDE
00:48:05.240 --> 00:48:07.280
AND 10.000 AT MY RIGHT HAND,
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:10.110
BUT IT WILL NOT COME NEAR ME.
00:48:10.130 --> 00:48:15.200
GOD, WHERE WOULD I BE
00:48:15.220 --> 00:48:18.200
- LIFT IT UP NOW
00:48:18.220 --> 00:48:20.050
IF YOU LET ME GO
00:48:20.070 --> 00:48:22.200
I DON'T WANNA KNOW
00:48:22.220 --> 00:48:23.230
WHERE WOULD I BE
00:48:23.250 --> 00:48:25.280
I DON'T WANNA KNOW
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.060
IF YOU LET ME GO
00:48:27.080 --> 00:48:29.100
I DON'T WANNA KNOW
00:48:29.120 --> 00:48:31.020
IF YOU LET ME GO
00:48:31.040 --> 00:48:33.030
I DON'T WANNA KNOW
00:48:33.050 --> 00:48:34.060
IF YOU LET ME GO
00:48:34.080 --> 00:48:35.160
BUT YOU WAITED
00:48:35.180 --> 00:48:39.250
WAITED
00:48:39.270 --> 00:48:42.130
YOU WAITED
00:48:42.150 --> 00:48:46.100
YOU WAITED
00:48:46.120 --> 00:48:49.130
YOU WAITED
00:48:49.150 --> 00:48:53.230
WAITED
00:48:53.250 --> 00:48:56.140
YOU WAITED
00:48:56.160 --> 00:48:59.250
YOU WAITED ON ME
00:48:59.270 --> 00:49:01.080
WAITED
00:49:01.100 --> 00:49:04.000
- PERHAPS YOU, LIKE ME, DON'T PARTICULARLY RELISH
00:49:04.020 --> 00:49:07.240
BEING PLACED ON HOLD.
00:49:07.260 --> 00:49:09.240
I REMEMBER ONE DOCTOR'S OFFICE THAT WOULD FIRST PLAY
00:49:09.260 --> 00:49:12.260
A RECORDED GREETING THAT PLACED YOU IN A QUEUE,
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.210
SERENADED BY LOOPING MUSIC.
00:49:15.230 --> 00:49:17.290
THEN A REAL, LIVE HUMAN WOULD ANSWER, ONLY TO SAY,
00:49:18.010 --> 00:49:21.150
HELLO, MAY I PLACE YOU ON A BRIEF HOLD?
00:49:21.170 --> 00:49:24.110
IT WAS A QUESTION THAT WASN'T REALLY A QUESTION
00:49:24.130 --> 00:49:27.200
BECAUSE IF GIVEN AN OPTION, I, AND I'M GOING TO GUESS
00:49:27.220 --> 00:49:30.210
THAT YOU, WOULD SAY NO, THANK YOU.
00:49:30.230 --> 00:49:33.250
HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE THAT?
00:49:33.270 --> 00:49:35.190
LIKE YOUR LIFE WAS ON HOLD?
00:49:35.210 --> 00:49:37.250
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN WATCHING AND WAITING FOR SOMETHING,
00:49:37.270 --> 00:49:40.280
FINALLY THOUGHT THE WAIT WAS OVER, ONLY TO BE PLACED
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:44.140
ON HOLD AGAIN?
00:49:44.160 --> 00:49:46.200
LIKE WHEN YOU'RE WAITING FOR A DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN,
00:49:46.220 --> 00:49:50.050
OR FOR THAT PAIN TO SUBSIDE.
00:49:50.070 --> 00:49:52.200
FOR THAT LOVED ONE TO RETURN HOME.
00:49:52.220 --> 00:49:55.120
WHEN YOU'RE WAITING FOR A BOSS TO FINALLY RECOGNIZE
00:49:55.140 --> 00:49:58.110
YOUR POTENTIAL OR FOR SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE,
00:49:58.130 --> 00:50:01.150
TO JUST GIVE YOU A CHANCE, TO GIVE YOU A BREAK.
00:50:01.170 --> 00:50:05.250
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT GOD NEVER WASTES EVEN A MOMENT
00:50:05.270 --> 00:50:10.130
OF YOUR LIFE.
00:50:10.150 --> 00:50:12.000
WHILE YOU'RE WAITING, HE IS WORKING.
00:50:12.020 --> 00:50:15.030
IN FACT, YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT IN THE WAITING,
00:50:15.050 --> 00:50:18.230
GOD IS GROWING SOMETHING GOOD IN YOU.
00:50:18.250 --> 00:50:23.050
PATIENT
00:50:23.070 --> 00:50:25.210
YOU ARE PATIENT, GOD
00:50:25.230 --> 00:50:28.290
- SING IT OUT.
00:50:29.010 --> 00:50:30.020
PATIENT
00:50:30.040 --> 00:50:32.020
YOU ARE
00:50:32.040 --> 00:50:33.020
YOU ARE PATIENT, GOD
00:50:33.040 --> 00:50:35.220
PATIENT
00:50:35.240 --> 00:50:37.020
PATIENT
00:50:37.040 --> 00:50:39.030
YOU ARE
00:50:39.050 --> 00:50:39.280
YOU ARE PATIENT, GOD
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.180
SAY, FAITHFUL
00:50:42.200 --> 00:50:44.130
FAITHFUL
00:50:44.150 --> 00:50:46.040
YOU ARE
00:50:46.060 --> 00:50:47.030
YOU ARE FAITHFUL
00:50:47.050 --> 00:50:48.020
- C'MON, LIFT IT UP, CHURCH.
00:50:48.040 --> 00:50:49.140
SING, FAITHFUL
00:50:49.160 --> 00:50:51.100
FAITHFUL
00:50:51.120 --> 00:50:53.010
YEAH, YOU ARE, YOU ARE
00:50:53.030 --> 00:50:56.110
SAY, WE LOVE YOU
00:50:56.130 --> 00:50:57.270
WE LOVE YOU
00:50:57.290 --> 00:50:59.240
SAY, OH, HOW WE LOVE
00:50:59.260 --> 00:51:01.130
OH, HOW WE LOVE YOU
00:51:01.150 --> 00:51:03.040
WE LOVE YOU
00:51:03.060 --> 00:51:04.230
WE LOVE YOU
00:51:04.250 --> 00:51:06.210
SING, OH, HOW WE LOVE
00:51:06.230 --> 00:51:07.280
OH, HOW WE LOVE YOU
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:09.290
SAY, WE NEED YOU
00:51:10.010 --> 00:51:11.170
WE NEED YOU
00:51:11.190 --> 00:51:13.060
OH, HOW WE NEED
00:51:13.080 --> 00:51:15.010
OH, HOW WE NEED YOU
00:51:15.030 --> 00:51:16.290
- WHEN I START TO SAY, GOD I NEED TO REALLY HEAR THINGS
00:51:17.010 --> 00:51:19.140
FROM YOU IN THE NOW, SO I'M GONNA PRACTICE THIS
00:51:19.160 --> 00:51:21.290
AND IF I FEEL LIKE YOUR SAYING IT, I'M GONNA TRY IT OUT.
00:51:22.010 --> 00:51:24.170
SO I DID IT, I LOWERED THE STAKES AND I BELIEVED
00:51:24.190 --> 00:51:26.220
HE WAS GONNA DO THE SAME THING BY ASKING QUESTIONS.
00:51:26.240 --> 00:51:29.010
SO INSTEAD OF GOING AND SAYING, GOD IS SHOWING ME SOMETHING,
00:51:29.030 --> 00:51:30.210
I'M A CHRISTIAN, CAN I TELL YOU?
00:51:30.230 --> 00:51:32.040
I'D GO UP TO SOMEBODY IN A COFFEE SHOP AND SAY,
00:51:32.060 --> 00:51:33.230
HEY, IS THERE A MINDY IN YOUR LIFE,
00:51:33.250 --> 00:51:35.080
DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
00:51:35.100 --> 00:51:36.090
THEY'D BE LIKE, THAT'S MY SISTER.
00:51:36.110 --> 00:51:37.160
HOW DO YOU KNOW MINDY? DO YOU KNOW MINDY?
00:51:37.180 --> 00:51:38.290
I'M LIKE, I KNOW THIS SOUNDS REALLY WEIRD,
00:51:39.010 --> 00:51:40.150
BUT I'M A CHRISTIAN, I WAS JUST PRAYING AND I FELT LIKE GOD
00:51:40.170 --> 00:51:42.060
SHOWED ME HIS LOVE FOR MINDY.
00:51:42.080 --> 00:51:43.200
IS THERE ANYTHING SHE NEEDS PRAYER FOR?
00:51:43.220 --> 00:51:44.270
AND THAT'S ALL I WOULD HAVE.
00:51:44.290 --> 00:51:46.180
BUT I PRACTICED AND PRACTICED AND SOMETIMES
00:51:46.200 --> 00:51:48.070
THEY WOULD SAY NO, THERE IS NO PERSON.
00:51:48.090 --> 00:51:50.030
AND I SHARE A STORY IN TRANSLATING GOD ABOUT A GUY
00:51:50.050 --> 00:51:53.030
I WENT UP TO IN A STUDIO AND SAID, IS THERE A STEPHEN?
00:51:53.050 --> 00:51:56.220
NO.
00:51:56.240 --> 00:51:57.150
BROTHER, COUSIN?
00:51:57.170 --> 00:51:58.150
THERE'S NO STEPHEN IN MY LIFE.
00:51:58.170 --> 00:51:59.240
HE'S LIKE, WAIT, WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THAT?
00:51:59.260 --> 00:52:01.040
I DIDN'T WANNA TELL HIM AT ALL.
00:52:01.060 --> 00:52:02.170
I WAS LIKE, SO I SAID, I'M LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S
00:52:02.190 --> 00:52:06.050
VOICE. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS WEIRD, I'M A CHRISTIAN,
00:52:06.070 --> 00:52:07.200
BUT I'M TAKING RISKS AND I'M PRACTICING HEARING HIS VOICE,
00:52:07.220 --> 00:52:10.020
I'M SORRY IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
00:52:10.040 --> 00:52:11.090
AND HE GOES, THIS IS THE MOST FASCINATING THING
00:52:11.110 --> 00:52:13.000
I'VE EVER HEARD.
00:52:13.020 --> 00:52:14.160
I NEED TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU, DO YOU HAVE TIME RIGHT NOW?
00:52:14.180 --> 00:52:15.280
I'VE WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE TO TALK TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU.
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:17.200
AND HE GOT SAVED THROUGH A WRONG WORD OF KNOWLEDGE.
00:52:17.220 --> 00:52:20.050
- WOW.
00:52:20.070 --> 00:52:21.080
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
00:52:21.100 --> 00:52:22.150
- SEE GOD SPEAKS, BUT WE DON'T HEAR.
00:52:22.170 --> 00:52:25.030
WE HAVE TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS IN OUR LIFE.
00:52:25.050 --> 00:52:27.240
IN THE WILDERNESS, THOUGH, THE DISTRACTIONS ARE TAKEN AWAY.
00:52:27.260 --> 00:52:31.250
THE HARD TIMES IN YOUR LIFE ARE MEANT, ACTUALLY,
00:52:31.270 --> 00:52:34.280
TO BE HOLY FOR GOD'S CHILDREN.
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:37.210
HOW SO?
00:52:37.230 --> 00:52:39.000
IN HEBREW, THE WILDERNESS IS NOT CALLED WILDERNESS,
00:52:39.020 --> 00:52:42.190
IT'S CALLED THE MIDBAR.
00:52:42.210 --> 00:52:44.140
MIDBAR COMES FROM A ROOT WORD DABAR
00:52:44.160 --> 00:52:46.230
WHICH MEANS TO SPEAK, OR THE WORD.
00:52:46.250 --> 00:52:50.110
SO GOD BRINGS US INTO THE MIDBAR SO WE CAN HEAR HIS VOICE.
00:52:50.130 --> 00:52:55.090
WE'RE TOO ATTACHED TO SO MANY THINGS.
00:52:55.110 --> 00:52:57.100
SOMETIMES HE HAS TO TAKE THOSE THINGS AWAY
00:52:57.120 --> 00:52:59.080
THAT WE'RE ATTACHED TO, EVEN THINGS WE THINK ARE GOOD.
00:52:59.100 --> 00:53:02.240
THEREFORE, DO NOT FEAR THE WILDERNESS.
00:53:02.260 --> 00:53:05.240
DO NOT DESPISE THE MIDBAR
00:53:05.260 --> 00:53:09.000
BECAUSE GOD IS TAKING AWAY THE DISTRACTIONS.
00:53:09.020 --> 00:53:12.050
HE WANTS TO BRING YOU CLOSER.
00:53:12.070 --> 00:53:14.170
EMBRACE IT.
00:53:14.190 --> 00:53:16.110
DRAW CLOSER.
00:53:16.130 --> 00:53:17.290
MAYBE YOU'RE IN A WILDERNESS RIGHT NOW.
00:53:18.010 --> 00:53:20.030
DON'T FEAR IT.
00:53:20.050 --> 00:53:21.110
GET INTO IT.
00:53:21.130 --> 00:53:22.180
SEEK THE LORD.
00:53:22.200 --> 00:53:24.050
SEEK HIS VOICE, HE'LL SPEAK.
00:53:24.070 --> 00:53:26.000
AND MAYBE YOU'RE NOT EVEN IN A WILDERNESS,
00:53:26.020 --> 00:53:28.020
BUT GOD WANTS YOU TO GO INTO A PLACE
00:53:28.040 --> 00:53:30.030
WHERE YOU CAN JUST HEAR HIM.
00:53:30.050 --> 00:53:32.120
- IT'S OKAY.
00:53:38.080 --> 00:53:39.130
- WE CAN'T STAY HERE. WE'LL BE TRAMPLED.
00:53:39.150 --> 00:53:40.260
- WE WON'T. WE'LL BE SAFE.
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:43.190
- HERE?
00:53:43.210 --> 00:53:44.270
(GLASS SHATTERING)
00:53:44.290 --> 00:53:46.270
(EXPLODING IN CAR)
00:53:46.290 --> 00:53:49.230
(QUIET MUSIC)
00:53:49.250 --> 00:54:03.120
(QUIET MUSIC)
00:54:03.120 --> 00:54:15.220
- WHEN AS A BELIEVER, WE WALK INTO THE MIDDLE OF A STORM,
00:54:15.240 --> 00:54:19.100
OR ONE BLOWS INTO OUR LIVES,
00:54:19.120 --> 00:54:22.000
HOLY SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS DO ONE OF TWO THINGS.
00:54:22.020 --> 00:54:25.100
HE WILL LEAD US WITH WISDOM SO THAT WE MAKE SOUND CHOICES
00:54:25.120 --> 00:54:29.100
AND DECISION, HELPING US NAVIGATE AROUND THE SITUATION.
00:54:29.120 --> 00:54:33.160
OR, WHEN THERE IS NO WISDOM THAT COMES TO YOU,
00:54:33.180 --> 00:54:36.080
HE WILL TAKE US THROUGH IT AND PROTECT US.
00:54:36.100 --> 00:54:39.240
THIS MIRACULOUS PROTECTION IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE
00:54:39.260 --> 00:54:43.060
TO THE BELIEVER.
00:54:43.080 --> 00:54:44.160
THE BIBLE IS FILLED WITH EXAMPLES OF BATTLES
00:54:44.180 --> 00:54:47.220
WHERE GOD'S PEOPLE NEVER LOST ONE SOLDIER.
00:54:47.240 --> 00:54:50.280
FILLED WITH EXAMPLES OF WHEN PEOPLE ALL AROUND ARE DYING
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:54.290
OR BEING DESTROYED, BUT THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNHARMED.
00:54:55.010 --> 00:54:59.190
IN THE MIDST OF STORMS, WE CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE
00:54:59.210 --> 00:55:02.250
THAT GOD WILL ALWAYS GUIDE US OR THAT GOD
00:55:02.270 --> 00:55:05.200
WILL COMPLETELY PROTECT US.
00:55:05.220 --> 00:55:07.260
- HE SAYS WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME,
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:11.020
HE SAID, PUT IT THIS WAY, IF GOD TELLS YOU TO HEAD
00:55:11.040 --> 00:55:15.180
TOWARD A BRICK WALL AND YOU HEAD FOR THE WALL
00:55:15.200 --> 00:55:17.120
AND WHEN YOU GET THERE, GOD WILL MAKE A HOLE FOR IT.
00:55:17.140 --> 00:55:20.090
SO, I CHUCKLED LIKE THAT AND DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING
00:55:20.110 --> 00:55:22.170
ABOUT IT, BUT ON MY WAY HOME THINKING ABOUT THAT,
00:55:22.190 --> 00:55:29.110
I CAN HARDLY TELL YOU.
00:55:29.130 --> 00:55:31.220
IT'S LIKE GOD SAID TO ME, HERE'S WHAT HE SAID,
00:55:31.240 --> 00:55:35.050
OBEY GOD AND LEAVE ALL THE CONSEQUENCES TO HIM
00:55:35.070 --> 00:55:38.040
AND I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT.
00:55:38.060 --> 00:55:40.000
YES, LORD, I WILL.
00:55:40.020 --> 00:55:41.070
- MY MOST AUTHENTIC SELF IS I DON'T KNOW HOW
00:55:41.090 --> 00:55:43.140
TO SEE LIFE WITHOUT JESUS.
00:55:43.160 --> 00:55:45.160
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEE REALITY WITHOUT GOD.
00:55:45.180 --> 00:55:49.230
AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO'S A JOURNALIST ASKED ME,
00:55:49.250 --> 00:55:52.110
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BELIEVE IN GOD?
00:55:52.130 --> 00:55:55.220
I SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER LIKE HAD A GREAT MEAL
00:55:55.240 --> 00:55:57.220
OR BEEN OVERWHELMED BY SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL OR HEARD A SONG
00:55:57.240 --> 00:56:02.010
THAT MOVED YOU ALL THE WAY THROUGH, BUT THE ONLY WAY
00:56:02.030 --> 00:56:05.090
I CAN DESCRIBE COMING TO KNOW JESUS IS THAT ALL THE COLORS
00:56:05.110 --> 00:56:10.200
BECOME MORE VIBRANT, ALL THE SOUNDS BECOME MORE BEAUTIFUL,
00:56:10.220 --> 00:56:14.000
ALL THE AROMAS BECOME MORE OVERWHELMING.
00:56:14.020 --> 00:56:16.240
YOU JUST EXPERIENCE LIFE SO RICHLY AND SO BEAUTIFULLY.
00:56:16.260 --> 00:56:20.160
AND THAT'S WHEN I GET IT, THAT GOD STEPPED INTO HUMAN
00:56:20.180 --> 00:56:24.140
HISTORY FOR US AND HIS NAME IS JESUS,
00:56:24.160 --> 00:56:26.100
THAT HE WALKED AMONG US BECAUSE HE LOVES US,
00:56:26.120 --> 00:56:29.020
THAT HE DIED ON A CROSS FOR US
00:56:29.040 --> 00:56:30.230
BECAUSE GOD UNDERSTANDS THE HUMAN DILEMMA.
00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:33.270
BECAUSE, YOU SEE, THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS CREATED
00:56:33.290 --> 00:56:35.210
OUT OF GOD'S LOVE.
00:56:35.230 --> 00:56:37.030
EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS, EXISTS BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.
00:56:37.050 --> 00:56:40.150
AND OUR BROKENNESS, OUR SEPARATION FROM GOD
00:56:40.170 --> 00:56:43.250
CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF LOVE
00:56:43.270 --> 00:56:46.070
AND THAT SACRIFICE.
00:56:46.090 --> 00:56:48.170
SO THE CROSS MAKES SENSE TO ME,
00:56:48.190 --> 00:56:49.280
THE DEATH OF JESUS MAKES SENSE TO ME
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:51.140
BECAUSE GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE.
00:56:51.160 --> 00:56:53.190
HE DESIGNED US FOR LOVE.
00:56:53.210 --> 00:56:55.090
HE CREATED US FOR LOVE AND HE PURSUES US WITH LOVE.
00:56:55.110 --> 00:56:58.090
AND THE CROSS IS GOD'S EXCLAMATION POINT
00:56:58.110 --> 00:57:02.130
THAT HE WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU, THAT HE'S PURSUING YOU
00:57:02.150 --> 00:57:04.230
AND LOVING YOU AND HE SEES YOU AND THAT YOU MATTER.
00:57:04.250 --> 00:57:07.220
AND SO WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THIS MOMENT,
00:57:07.240 --> 00:57:09.170
IF YOU JUST HAPPEN TO STEP INTO THIS MOMENT WITH ME,
00:57:09.190 --> 00:57:13.100
I WANT YOU TO KNOW, THIS IS NOT ACCIDENTAL.
00:57:13.120 --> 00:57:15.280
THE TIMING ISN'T JUST CURIOUS.
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:19.110
THAT GOD IS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET YOUR ATTENTION,
00:57:19.130 --> 00:57:21.120
TO LET YOU KNOW THAT HE SEES YOU, THAT YOU MATTER,
00:57:21.140 --> 00:57:23.150
THAT HE KNOWS YOU BY NAME.
00:57:23.170 --> 00:57:24.290
THAT HE STEPPED INTO HUMAN HISTORY AND HIS NAME IS JESUS.
00:57:25.010 --> 00:57:29.180
AND THAT HE IS PURSUING YOU AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL
00:57:29.200 --> 00:57:32.220
THE RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD AND JESUS IS THIS.
00:57:32.240 --> 00:57:35.200
EVERY RELIGION IN THE WORLD GIVES US A WAY
00:57:35.220 --> 00:57:38.160
WHERE WE CAN TRY TO GET TO GOD, BUT THE STORY OF JESUS,
00:57:38.180 --> 00:57:42.100
THE COMING OF JESUS IS GOD'S WAY OF GETTING TO US.
00:57:42.120 --> 00:57:46.120
- [MATT] THANK YOU, LORD.
00:57:46.140 --> 00:57:47.270
- AND SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
00:57:47.290 --> 00:57:49.210
IT'S REALLY SIMPLE.
00:57:49.230 --> 00:57:51.010
IN MY LIFE, I JUST ASK PEOPLE TO PRAY
00:57:51.030 --> 00:57:52.220
A VERY SIMPLE PRAYER. IT'S JUST ONE SENTENCE.
00:57:52.240 --> 00:57:55.030
JESUS, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE.
00:57:55.050 --> 00:57:58.100
THAT'S IT.
00:57:58.120 --> 00:57:59.190
THERE'S A LOT YOU AND GOD HAVE TO TALK ABOUT
00:57:59.210 --> 00:58:01.140
THAT WILL LAST FOREVER, BUT THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS.
00:58:01.160 --> 00:58:04.050
JESUS, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE.
00:58:04.070 --> 00:58:06.130
- [MATT] WOW.
00:58:06.150 --> 00:58:07.200
- AND IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, IT'S LOVE.
00:58:07.220 --> 00:58:11.040
AND LOVE IS BIGGER THAN KNOWLEDGE,
00:58:11.060 --> 00:58:13.120
IT'S BIGGER THAN INFORMATION, IT'S BIGGER THAN DATA.
00:58:13.140 --> 00:58:16.100
IF YOU KNOW THAT WHAT YOUR SOUL NEEDS IS A LOVE
00:58:16.120 --> 00:58:19.000
THAT IS UNCONDITIONAL AND EVERLASTING,
00:58:19.020 --> 00:58:22.140
THEN I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT LOVE IS WRAPPED UP IN A PERSON.
00:58:22.160 --> 00:58:24.280
HIS NAME IS JESUS.
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:26.060
AND IF YOU WOULD JUST OPEN UP YOUR LIFE TO HIM,
00:58:26.080 --> 00:58:27.250
HE WOULD GIVE HIS LIFE TO YOU.
00:58:27.270 --> 00:58:29.060
SO MAYBE JUST RIGHT NOW, JUST PRAY THAT SIMPLE PRAYER.
00:58:29.080 --> 00:58:31.280
JESUS, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE.
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:34.170
IF YOU'LL DO THAT, EXTRAORDINARY THINGS WILL HAPPEN
00:58:34.190 --> 00:58:37.200
WHERE YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU ARE,
00:58:37.220 --> 00:58:39.180
EVEN WHEN NO ONE ELSE KNOWS, BECAUSE GOD IS REAL AND HE
00:58:39.200 --> 00:58:42.210
WILL HEAR YOU AND EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:58:42.230 --> 00:58:45.250
SO FATHER LET THEM FALL
00:58:45.270 --> 00:58:50.240
IN LOVE WITH YOU
00:58:50.260 --> 00:58:57.120
PLEASE FORGIVE THEM TOO
00:58:57.140 --> 00:59:01.100
FOR THEY KNOW NOT
00:59:01.120 --> 00:59:05.190
WHAT THEY DO
00:59:05.210 --> 00:59:09.070
LET THEM FALL IN LOVE
00:59:09.090 --> 00:59:14.080
LET THEM FALL IN LOVE
00:59:14.100 --> 00:59:18.090
LET THEM FALL IN LOVE
00:59:18.110 --> 00:59:23.070
WITH YOU
00:59:23.090 --> 00:59:32.060
YOU
00:59:32.080 --> 00:59:34.110
(APPLAUSE)
00:59:34.130 --> 00:59:35.120
