- FOR THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.120
OH, HE IS HERE
00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:05.140
WITH REDEMPTION
00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:06.240
FROM THE FALL
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.140
THAT WE MAY LIVE
00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:11.220
FOR THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:15.100
THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:15.170 --> 00:00:18.170
THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:20.270 --> 00:00:23.270
- OKAY.
00:00:28.090 --> 00:00:28.280
HERE WE GO.
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:29.260
JUST OPEN OUR BIBLES
00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:30.180
IF WE COULD TO JUDGES 6.
00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:32.250
NOW SOME WEEKS AGO,
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:33.250
I SHARED WITH YOU FROM THE STORY
00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:35.060
OF GIDEON SOME TIME AGO,
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.240
AND I'M NOT SURE
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.160
WHEN THIS IS AIRING
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:42.210
FOR THOSE WATCHING
00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:43.160
ON TELEVISION, BUT JUST SHARED
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.120
THE STORY OF GIDEON
00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.260
THAT I LOVE SO MUCH.
00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:53.050
YOU KNOW, WHEN HE'S NOT FEELING
00:00:53.050 --> 00:00:54.140
LIKE A MIGHT WARRIOR,
00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:56.170
THE LORD SHOWS UP
00:00:56.170 --> 00:00:58.220
AND CALLS HIM A MIGHTY WARRIOR.
00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:04.270
HE'S ALWAYS CALLING THINGS
00:01:04.270 --> 00:01:07.120
THAT AREN'T INTO BEING.
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.290
THAT'S JUST THE LORD'S PATTERN.
00:01:09.290 --> 00:01:11.190
SO, IN CHAPTER 6,
00:01:12.130 --> 00:01:15.130
THE ANGEL SHOWED UP,
00:01:15.130 --> 00:01:16.190
VERSE 12 SAYS,
00:01:16.190 --> 00:01:17.190
"AND THE ANGEL OF LORD
00:01:17.190 --> 00:01:18.160
APPEARED TO HIM AND SAID
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:19.090
TO HIM THE LORD IS WITH YOU,
00:01:19.090 --> 00:01:20.270
OH VALIANT WARRIOR,"
00:01:20.270 --> 00:01:23.000
AND HE'S COWERING, HIDING,
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.210
VERSE 12.
00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:26.100
THE LORD IS WITH YOU,
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:26.290
OH VALIANT WARRIOR.
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:28.040
SO, LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:28.260
AND JUST SAY,
00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:29.170
HEY, VALIANT WARRIOR.
00:01:30.020 --> 00:01:33.020
YEAH.
00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:33.250
THAT'S YOU, THAT'S YOU,
00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:35.100
AND I KNOW A LOT OF YOU MAY NOT
00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:36.140
FEEL LIKE A VALIANT WARRIOR.
00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:38.060
I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH.
00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:38.270
I DON'T KNOW THE BIBLE
00:01:38.270 --> 00:01:39.160
WELL ENOUGH.
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:40.060
I DON'T KNOW THIS WELL ENOUGH.
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:41.080
I DON'T HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE
00:01:41.080 --> 00:01:42.250
IN THE LORD,
00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:43.170
I'M NOT VERY BRIGHT,
00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:44.180
I DO THIS, I DO THAT,
00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:45.250
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
00:01:45.250 --> 00:01:46.270
YOU KNOW, ALL EXCUSES,
00:01:46.270 --> 00:01:49.200
AND THEY'RE FROM THE ENEMY.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.250
I THINK THE LORD IS CALLING
00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:52.180
EACH OF US A VALIANT WARRIOR
00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:53.200
BECAUSE IF THE LORD JESUS
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.250
LIVES INSIDE OF YOU,
00:01:54.250 --> 00:01:55.210
THAT'S THE KING OF KINGS
00:01:55.210 --> 00:01:57.080
AND LORD OF LORDS,
00:01:57.080 --> 00:01:58.050
AND HE CAN DO ANYTHING
00:01:58.050 --> 00:01:59.170
HE WANTS
00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:00.100
THROUGH ANY VESSEL HE WANTS.
00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:01.160
SO, THE ANGEL SAYS THAT TO HIM.
00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:02.260
LOOK AT VERSE 13.
00:02:02.260 --> 00:02:04.110
"THEN GIDEON SAID TO HIM,
00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:05.240
OH, MY LORD,
00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:07.030
IF THE LORD IS WITH US,"
00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:08.170
THIS IS CONDITIONAL.
00:02:08.170 --> 00:02:10.030
"IF THE LORD IS WITH US,
00:02:10.030 --> 00:02:13.010
WHY THEN HAS ALL THIS HAPPENED
00:02:13.010 --> 00:02:13.230
TO US?"
00:02:13.230 --> 00:02:14.130
SO, THEY'RE BEING SIEGED UPON,
00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:16.160
"AND WHERE ARE
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:17.290
ALL HIS MIRACLES?"
00:02:17.290 --> 00:02:20.040
WHERE ARE ALL HIS MIRACLES?
00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:22.150
WHERE ARE ALL HIS MIRACLES
00:02:22.150 --> 00:02:25.140
WHICH OUR FATHERS TOLD US ABOUT
00:02:25.140 --> 00:02:27.080
SAYING DID NOT THE LORD
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:28.050
BRING US UP OUT OF EGYPT,
00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:29.200
BUT NOW THE LORD
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:30.140
HAS ABANDONED US AND GIVEN US
00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:31.080
AT THE HAND OF MIDIAN.
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.230
SO, THEY HEARD ABOUT MIRACLES
00:02:33.230 --> 00:02:34.270
IN THE PAST, BUT THEY WEREN'T
00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:35.270
JUST SEEING ANY.
00:02:35.270 --> 00:02:38.010
OKAY, MAYBE WHERE YOU'RE LIVING
00:02:38.010 --> 00:02:39.110
AND WHERE YOU'RE AT RIGHT NOW,
00:02:39.110 --> 00:02:40.150
YOU'RE NOT SEEING MANY MIRACLES.
00:02:40.150 --> 00:02:43.060
I'M TELLING YOU, GOD WANTS
00:02:43.060 --> 00:02:44.100
TO POUR OUT HIS LOVE
00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:45.170
OVER YOUR LIFE,
00:02:45.170 --> 00:02:46.190
AND HE WANTS YOU TO SEE HIM
00:02:46.190 --> 00:02:47.220
WORKING IN SUPERNATURAL POWER.
00:02:47.270 --> 00:02:50.270
IF HE DIDN'T, HE WOULDN'T BE
00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:52.060
MUCH OF A SUPERNATURAL GOD.
00:02:53.030 --> 00:02:56.030
I WANT TO CHALLENGE THAT NOTION
00:02:56.030 --> 00:02:58.050
THAT ALMIGHTY GOD WANTS US
00:02:58.050 --> 00:02:59.240
TO BE RELIGIOUS AND QUAINT
00:03:00.100 --> 00:03:03.100
AND TIGHT AND JUST ALL
00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:05.170
IN CONTROL AND JUST PUT TOGETHER
00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:08.220
NICE AND NEATLY IN A PACKAGE.
00:03:08.220 --> 00:03:10.210
I'M TELLING YOU,
00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:12.010
THE LORD DOES
00:03:12.010 --> 00:03:13.220
EXTRAORDINARY THINGS
00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:14.260
AND CONFOUNDS THE WISDOM
00:03:14.260 --> 00:03:17.010
OF MEN ALL THE TIME.
00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:21.100
GOD CAN'T BE FIGURED OUT.
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:23.090
HE IS UNPREDICTABLE
00:03:23.090 --> 00:03:25.020
IS WHAT I MEAN TO SAY.
00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:26.170
WE CAN GROW IN UNDERSTANDING
00:03:26.170 --> 00:03:27.180
AND HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST,
00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:28.240
YES, BUT GOD
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:29.280
IS QUITE UNPREDICTABLE.
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.250
YOU KNOW, THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
00:03:32.250 --> 00:03:33.270
A KING IN ROYAL ROBES,
00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:35.080
AND HE WAS BORN IN A MANGER,
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.060
AND IT WAS A STUMBLING BLOCK,
00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:40.130
AND IT WASN'T
00:03:40.130 --> 00:03:41.050
THE INTELLIGENT ONES
00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:42.030
THAT GOT THE FIRST NEWS,
00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:45.040
IT WAS THE SHEPHERDS.
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.230
THE ONES, THE PASTURES,
00:03:46.230 --> 00:03:48.000
IF YOU WILL.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.150
THE ONES THAT SOCIETY,
00:03:49.150 --> 00:03:50.110
POLITE SOCIETY,
00:03:50.110 --> 00:03:51.010
DIDN'T LIKE HAVING AROUND.
00:03:51.010 --> 00:03:52.000
THEY SENT THEM OUT FOR WEEKS
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:52.230
AT A TIME IN THE FIELDS.
00:03:52.230 --> 00:03:54.260
THE ONES THAT GOT THAT
00:03:54.260 --> 00:03:55.170
ASSIGNMENT WERE THE ONES
00:03:55.170 --> 00:03:56.100
WE DIDN'T LIKE KEEPING AROUND.
00:03:56.100 --> 00:03:57.140
STAY OVER THERE FOR A WHILE.
00:03:57.140 --> 00:04:00.050
THINK I'M KIDDING?
00:04:00.050 --> 00:04:00.290
NO, IT'S REALLY TRUE.
00:04:00.290 --> 00:04:02.270
THOSE WERE THE SHEPHERDS,
00:04:02.270 --> 00:04:05.000
AND IT'S INTERESTING
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.170
THAT A SERVANT POSITION
00:04:06.170 --> 00:04:07.260
LIKE THAT IS WHO THE LORD
00:04:07.260 --> 00:04:08.240
PUTS OVER A LOCAL CHURCH,
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.130
A SHEPHERD.
00:04:10.130 --> 00:04:12.170
THE ONLY THING LOWER THAN THAT
00:04:12.170 --> 00:04:13.120
IN THAT SOCIETY, REALLY,
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.120
ONE OF THE LOWEST POSITIONS
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.220
WAS THAT OF DEACON,
00:04:15.220 --> 00:04:17.230
AND DEACON MEANS TABLE WAITER,
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:21.060
AND THE TABLE WAITERS
00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:22.110
WERE PEOPLE
00:04:22.110 --> 00:04:23.070
THAT WOULD COME ALONG AND WHILE
00:04:23.070 --> 00:04:25.260
EVERYBODY IS RECLINING,
00:04:25.260 --> 00:04:26.220
THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE,
00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:27.170
THEY'D LET THEIR HAIR HANG DOWN
00:04:27.170 --> 00:04:28.280
SO THE PEOPLE WHILE
00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:30.060
THEY'RE EATING COULD REACH UP
00:04:30.060 --> 00:04:31.150
AND WIPE THEIR HANDS
00:04:31.150 --> 00:04:32.130
IN THEIR HAIR AND THEN GO AWAY.
00:04:32.130 --> 00:04:34.090
SEND ME ANOTHER ONE.
00:04:34.090 --> 00:04:34.290
MY HANDS ARE DIRTY AGAIN.
00:04:34.290 --> 00:04:36.170
THOSE WERE THE TABLE WAITERS.
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:40.100
THE DEAKONOI
00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:42.140
FOR THE GREEK SCHOLARS.
00:04:42.140 --> 00:04:43.060
THOSE WERE THE DEACONS.
00:04:43.060 --> 00:04:44.010
RIGHT, BARRY?
00:04:44.010 --> 00:04:44.250
RIGHT, SEE.
00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:45.210
YOU VERIFIED IT.
00:04:45.210 --> 00:04:48.120
IF BARRY SAID IT,
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.000
IT MUST BE TRUE.
00:04:49.110 --> 00:04:52.110
SO, THE LORD CHOSE THESE PEOPLE
00:04:52.110 --> 00:04:54.160
TO DEMONSTRATE THIS LOVE
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.270
AND POWER AND SHOW AND CONFOUND
00:04:55.270 --> 00:04:58.080
THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES,
00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:01.020
AND I TELL YOU TODAY,
00:05:01.020 --> 00:05:02.100
IT IS ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS
00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:04.100
THAT SO MANY THEOLOGIANS
00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:07.030
ARE DECEIVED INTO BELIEVING
00:05:07.030 --> 00:05:09.210
THAT JESUS DID NOT HAVE
00:05:09.210 --> 00:05:11.240
A BODILY RESURRECTION.
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.040
THEY ARE WALKING IN --
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:16.220
AND IF THAT'S YOU,
00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:17.220
YOU ARE WALKING IN DECEPTION.
00:05:18.020 --> 00:05:21.020
I PRAY THAT THE LORD DELIVER YOU
00:05:21.020 --> 00:05:22.020
FROM DECEPTION,
00:05:22.020 --> 00:05:24.100
AND I PRAY THE LORD
00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:25.000
TO SPEAK TO YOUR HEART.
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.220
SOME OF THOSE HEARTS
00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:27.200
ARE SOFTENING.
00:05:27.200 --> 00:05:28.140
OTHERS HAVE TEETH GRINDING
00:05:28.140 --> 00:05:30.070
RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S SAD.
00:05:30.190 --> 00:05:33.190
SO, LET'S KEEP READING.
00:05:33.190 --> 00:05:34.210
SO, GIDEON, THE POINT HERE IS
00:05:34.210 --> 00:05:36.250
THAT WHERE ARE ALL THE MIRACLES?
00:05:37.010 --> 00:05:40.010
THERE WAS A NEED TO SEE
00:05:40.010 --> 00:05:40.240
THESE MIRACLES
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.000
BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:42.280
THAT GOD WAS WITH THEM.
00:05:42.280 --> 00:05:44.210
FLIP BACK, IF YOU WOULD,
00:05:44.210 --> 00:05:46.010
FROM JUDGES TO JOSHUA 24.
00:05:47.190 --> 00:05:50.190
JUST A FEW PAGES.
00:05:50.190 --> 00:05:52.080
AT THE END OF THE BOOK
00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:54.070
OF JOSHUA 24:31,
00:05:54.070 --> 00:05:56.220
"AND ISRAEL SERVED THE LORD
00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:58.220
ALL THE DAYS OF JOSHUA
00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:00.070
AND ALL THE DAYS OF THE ELDERS
00:06:00.070 --> 00:06:01.220
WHO SURVIVED JOSHUA,"
00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:04.020
THAT IS AFTER JOSHUA
00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:06.230
AND LISTEN TO THIS
00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:07.220
CHARACTERISTIC OF THOSE,
00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:09.060
"AND WHO HAD KNOWN
00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:10.030
ALL THE DEEDS OF THE LORD
00:06:10.030 --> 00:06:12.280
WHICH HE HAD DONE FOR ISRAEL."
00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:14.060
THAT IS ALL THE MIRACLES
00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:15.010
THAT HE HAD DONE.
00:06:15.010 --> 00:06:17.010
HE SAID, NOW ISRAEL,
00:06:17.010 --> 00:06:18.190
THE PEOPLE OF GOD,
00:06:18.190 --> 00:06:19.150
SERVE THE LORD
00:06:19.150 --> 00:06:20.260
WHILE THEY HAD JOSHUA,
00:06:20.260 --> 00:06:22.180
AND THEY HAD LEADERS WHO KNEW
00:06:22.180 --> 00:06:24.010
THE MIRACLES OF GOD.
00:06:24.010 --> 00:06:25.290
THAT'S WHAT IT'S SAYING.
00:06:25.290 --> 00:06:27.180
FOR WHATEVER REASON,
00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:29.180
THE MIRACLES HAD CEASED,
00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:32.110
AND WE GOT
00:06:32.110 --> 00:06:33.080
THE VALIANT WARRIOR GIDEON
00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:35.000
SAYING, I MEAN,
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.130
IF GOD IS WITH US,
00:06:36.130 --> 00:06:37.270
WHERE ARE THE MIRACLES?
00:06:37.270 --> 00:06:40.070
FAIR QUESTION.
00:06:40.070 --> 00:06:42.020
IF GOD IS REALLY WITH US,
00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:43.060
WHERE ARE THE MIRACLES?
00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:45.080
ALL RIGHT.
00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:46.100
NOW, LET'S COME TO
00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:47.290
THE NEW TESTAMENT,
00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:48.250
1 CORINTHIANS 4.
00:06:48.250 --> 00:06:51.060
IT'S INTERESTING AND JOSHUA SAYS
00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:53.180
AS LONG AS THERE WERE LEADERS
00:06:53.180 --> 00:06:55.140
WHO HAD EXPERIENCE
00:06:55.140 --> 00:06:56.020
WITH THE POWER OF GOD,
00:06:56.020 --> 00:06:57.160
THE PEOPLE SERVED GOD.
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.090
WHEN THERE ARE LEADERS
00:06:59.090 --> 00:07:00.050
THAT DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE
00:07:00.050 --> 00:07:02.190
WITH THE POWER OF GOD,
00:07:02.190 --> 00:07:05.010
THE PEOPLE TEND TO NOT BELIEVE
00:07:05.010 --> 00:07:06.080
THAT GOD IS WITH THEM
00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:09.180
OR THAT HIS POWER IS AVAILABLE.
00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:11.290
OKAY?
00:07:11.290 --> 00:07:12.210
LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.
00:07:12.210 --> 00:07:13.250
AS LONG AS THERE ARE LEADERS
00:07:13.250 --> 00:07:14.250
WHO HAVE NO EXPERIENCE
00:07:14.250 --> 00:07:16.040
WITH THE SUPERNATURAL
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.020
POWER OF GOD,
00:07:17.020 --> 00:07:18.070
THE PEOPLE TEND TO ALSO BELIEVE
00:07:18.070 --> 00:07:19.120
THAT GOD IS NOT WITH THEM
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.190
AND THAT THE MIRACLES
00:07:20.190 --> 00:07:22.260
ARE NOT FOR THEM OR UNAVAILABLE.
00:07:23.270 --> 00:07:26.270
SO, LET'S LOOK AT
00:07:26.270 --> 00:07:27.290
1 CORINTHIANS 4:20.
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.160
I'M PRAYING THAT TODAY
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.240
YOU WALK OUT OF HERE
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.030
EXPECTING TO EXPERIENCE
00:07:36.030 --> 00:07:38.070
GOD'S SUPERNATURAL POWER
00:07:38.070 --> 00:07:40.090
IN YOUR LIFE.
00:07:40.090 --> 00:07:41.280
THAT'S THE GOAL
00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:42.170
OF THIS MESSAGE TODAY.
00:07:42.170 --> 00:07:43.280
IF YOU'RE WONDERING
00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:44.260
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY,
00:07:44.260 --> 00:07:45.230
I'M TRYING TO GET YOU TO WANT
00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:46.280
TO INVITE THE SUPERNATURAL POWER
00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:49.030
OF GOD INTO YOUR LIFE.
00:07:49.030 --> 00:07:51.270
AFTER ALL, WHO WANTS TO FOLLOW
00:07:51.270 --> 00:07:52.290
A SUPERNATURAL GOD
00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:54.050
WHO NEVER DOES
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:54.260
ANYTHING SUPERNATURAL?
00:07:54.260 --> 00:07:57.090
A SUPERNATURAL GOD
00:07:57.090 --> 00:07:59.010
OR A GOD THAT CAN BE
00:07:59.010 --> 00:07:59.240
PERFECTLY EXPLAINED,
00:07:59.260 --> 00:08:02.280
THAT'S NOT MUCH OF A GOD.
00:08:02.280 --> 00:08:05.000
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.140
WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING,
00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:07.200
HE WANTS TO SHOW YOU
00:08:07.200 --> 00:08:08.180
HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU.
00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:10.250
1 CORINTHIANS 4:20,
00:08:10.250 --> 00:08:13.110
"FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:08:13.110 --> 00:08:14.060
DOES NOT CONSIST IN WORDS,
00:08:14.060 --> 00:08:16.090
BUT IN POWER."
00:08:16.090 --> 00:08:19.000
HOW ELSE DO YOU READ THAT?
00:08:19.010 --> 00:08:22.010
WE CAN HAVE QUIET CONVERSATION,
00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:23.140
REFLECTION ABOUT GOD
00:08:23.140 --> 00:08:24.180
AND THE THINGS OF GOD
00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:25.140
AND THAT HAS GREAT VALUE,
00:08:25.140 --> 00:08:26.240
BUT WHEN THERE'S NO POWER?
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.210
I WAS PRAYING WITH SOMEONE
00:08:29.210 --> 00:08:31.220
IN THE HOSPITAL
00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:32.220
NOT THAT LONG AGO
00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:33.170
WHO WAS GOING TO HAVE
00:08:33.170 --> 00:08:34.090
OPEN-HEART SURGERY,
00:08:34.090 --> 00:08:35.210
AND THIS PERSON,
00:08:35.210 --> 00:08:36.250
A STEADFAST BELIEVER,
00:08:36.250 --> 00:08:38.140
WAS JUST FULL OF GRACE
00:08:38.140 --> 00:08:39.210
AND PEACE, AND HE SAID,
00:08:39.210 --> 00:08:41.140
LOOK, IF I SURVIVE THIS SURGERY,
00:08:41.140 --> 00:08:44.070
PRAISE GOD.
00:08:44.070 --> 00:08:46.240
IF I DON'T SURVIVE THIS SURGERY,
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.100
PRAISE GOD.
00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:50.170
HE'S GOING TO BE
00:08:50.170 --> 00:08:51.250
IN HIS PRESENCE.
00:08:51.250 --> 00:08:53.140
HE WAS READY.
00:08:53.140 --> 00:08:55.040
I'M TELLING YOU,
00:08:55.040 --> 00:08:55.220
THAT'S NOT NORMAL.
00:08:57.110 --> 00:09:00.130
THAT'S A SUPERNATURAL THING
00:09:00.130 --> 00:09:02.040
TO HAVE THAT MUCH PEACE
00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:03.250
TO BELIEVE IN THE HOPE
00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:05.270
OF THE RESURRECTION
00:09:05.270 --> 00:09:07.180
THAT THIS ISN'T IT,
00:09:07.180 --> 00:09:09.100
THAT I'M GOING TO SEE
00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:10.180
MY GRANDPA AGAIN,
00:09:10.180 --> 00:09:11.180
MY GRANDMA AGAIN,
00:09:11.180 --> 00:09:12.280
MY LOVED ONES AGAIN,
00:09:12.280 --> 00:09:14.190
MY FATHER-IN-LAW AGAIN.
00:09:14.190 --> 00:09:17.030
THEY'RE CHEERING US ON.
00:09:17.030 --> 00:09:18.110
THEY'RE ALIVE
00:09:18.110 --> 00:09:20.070
AND THAT'S A SUPERNATURAL THING.
00:09:20.070 --> 00:09:23.030
OKAY.
00:09:23.030 --> 00:09:23.190
LISTEN, STAY WITH ME.
00:09:23.190 --> 00:09:24.220
THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN FAITH
00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.230
BEGAN WITH A MIRACLE.
00:09:26.230 --> 00:09:29.140
MARY SAID HOW CAN THIS BE?
00:09:29.140 --> 00:09:32.030
I DON'T HAVE A HUSBAND.
00:09:32.030 --> 00:09:33.230
THAT'S A MIRACLE,
00:09:33.230 --> 00:09:35.180
AND IT WAS SEALED
00:09:35.180 --> 00:09:36.070
WITH A MIRACLE.
00:09:36.070 --> 00:09:37.050
JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD,
00:09:37.050 --> 00:09:38.260
AND HE HAS A FISH FRY
00:09:38.260 --> 00:09:39.240
WITH HIS DISCIPLES
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.160
ON THE BEACH EATING FISH.
00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:43.090
IF HE DIDN'T HAVE
00:09:43.090 --> 00:09:44.040
A RESURRECTED BODY,
00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:45.200
WHY WOULD HE BE EATING?
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.200
HOW COULD HE SHOW THOMAS
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.260
HIS WOUNDS AND SAY DON'T
00:09:48.260 --> 00:09:50.110
BE UNBELIEVING, THOMAS, BELIEVE.
00:09:50.110 --> 00:09:52.150
IT'S REALLY ME.
00:09:52.150 --> 00:09:53.260
THIS IS A BODY THAT
00:09:53.260 --> 00:09:54.150
YOU'RE FEELING AND CAN SEE
00:09:54.150 --> 00:09:55.100
AND EMBRACE.
00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:56.280
OKAY?
00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:59.250
WE NEED THE SUPERNATURAL
00:09:59.250 --> 00:10:00.220
PRESENCE AND POWER OF GOD.
00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:02.280
THE WHOLE GOSPEL MESSAGE,
00:10:03.090 --> 00:10:06.090
THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN FAITH
00:10:06.090 --> 00:10:08.030
JUST REEKS AND IS SATURATED WITH
00:10:08.210 --> 00:10:11.210
SUPERNATURAL MOVEMENTS OF GOD.
00:10:12.290 --> 00:10:15.290
WHY WOULD WE WANT
00:10:15.290 --> 00:10:16.290
TO LIVE OUR LIVES APART FROM GOD
00:10:16.290 --> 00:10:18.150
MOVING SUPERNATURALLY
00:10:18.150 --> 00:10:19.280
IN OUR LIVES?
00:10:19.280 --> 00:10:22.080
NOW, I'M GOING TO SAY THIS
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.010
ONE MORE TIME.
00:10:23.010 --> 00:10:24.080
WHY WOULD WE WANT TO LIVE
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.030
OUR FAITH OUT IN SUCH A WAY
00:10:26.030 --> 00:10:28.020
THAT THE SUPERNATURAL MOVEMENT
00:10:28.020 --> 00:10:29.200
OF GOD IS NOT EXISTENT?
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.100
I BEG YOU FOR THE SAKE
00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:34.050
OF SHOWING OFF GOD'S LOVE,
00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:36.250
ASK GOD TO SHOW UP
00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:38.050
IN SUPERNATURAL WAYS
00:10:38.050 --> 00:10:39.210
IN YOUR LIFE.
00:10:39.210 --> 00:10:41.010
ASK GOD TO SHOW UP AND ASK HIM
00:10:41.010 --> 00:10:43.180
TO MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN
00:10:43.180 --> 00:10:44.270
AND REAL TO YOU.
00:10:45.130 --> 00:10:48.130
WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD
00:10:48.130 --> 00:10:49.130
AND LIVING FAR FROM GOD,
00:10:49.130 --> 00:10:51.150
I WAS BORED.
00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:55.100
FUNNY, HOW CAN
00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:56.060
AN 18-YEAR-OLD GET BORED?
00:10:56.060 --> 00:10:58.290
I WAS LIVING ALONE.
00:10:58.290 --> 00:10:59.220
I HAD MY OWN HOUSE.
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:00.230
I WORKED IN A FACTORY,
00:11:00.230 --> 00:11:02.010
AND I WAS DOING MY OWN THING.
00:11:02.010 --> 00:11:03.210
I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF,
00:11:03.210 --> 00:11:06.100
AND I WAS VERY MACHO,
00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:09.100
AND MY WIFE SAYS,
00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:09.280
LIKE YOU'RE NOT TODAY.
00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:12.100
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS,
00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:14.110
I WAS REALLY MACHO,
00:11:14.110 --> 00:11:15.040
AND I COULD DO EVERYTHING,
00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:16.110
COOK, CLEAN, WASH.
00:11:16.110 --> 00:11:17.080
I DIDN'T NEED ANYBODY.
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:18.070
I WAS JUST MR. INDEPENDENT.
00:11:18.070 --> 00:11:20.080
DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY AROUND,
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.190
DIDN'T NEED ANYBODY.
00:11:21.190 --> 00:11:22.230
I WAS MY OWN MAN,
00:11:22.230 --> 00:11:23.200
AND ANYBODY ELSE
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.210
THAT COULDN'T LIVE THE WAY
00:11:24.210 --> 00:11:25.240
I COULD, I'D SAY YOU'RE NOT
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.080
A REAL MAN, YOU NEED A WOMAN
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.120
TO HELP YOU BE A MAN.
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.210
THAT WAS MY ATTITUDE.
00:11:30.210 --> 00:11:31.230
OKAY?
00:11:31.230 --> 00:11:32.130
I DIDN'T KNOW THE LORD.
00:11:32.130 --> 00:11:34.100
DON'T GET MAD,
00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:34.290
DON'T THROW ROCKS.
00:11:34.290 --> 00:11:35.170
NO, BECAUSE I WAS JUST THAT
00:11:35.170 --> 00:11:36.170
INDEPENDENT-MINDED.
00:11:36.170 --> 00:11:38.050
OKAY?
00:11:38.050 --> 00:11:40.020
THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:41.150
I DIDN'T NEED ANYBODY,
00:11:41.150 --> 00:11:42.140
AND I DID NOT NEED GOD.
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.120
SO, I THOUGHT.
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.090
BUT THEN I GOT BORED.
00:11:49.090 --> 00:11:52.000
I GOT BORED,
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.130
AND I CHALLENGED GOD.
00:11:53.150 --> 00:11:56.150
AND I SAID, GOD,
00:11:56.150 --> 00:11:57.030
THERE WAS A TIME
00:11:57.030 --> 00:11:57.250
WHEN I THOUGHT YOU WERE REAL.
00:11:57.250 --> 00:11:59.210
IF YOU'RE REALLY REAL,
00:11:59.210 --> 00:12:02.200
PROVE IT,
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.280
AND I WAS AT A CROSSROADS,
00:12:05.020 --> 00:12:08.020
AND I HAD
00:12:08.020 --> 00:12:08.220
THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION,
00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:10.040
THE LIVING BIBLE.
00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:11.010
THE LITTLE GREEN BACK,
00:12:11.010 --> 00:12:11.270
SOFT-COVER THING MY MOTHER
00:12:11.270 --> 00:12:13.200
HAD GIVEN ME, AND I BEGAN
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:14.190
TO READ IT, AND THEN I COULDN'T
00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:16.090
PUT IT DOWN, AND I KEPT
00:12:16.090 --> 00:12:17.160
READING AND READING.
00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:19.040
I WAS READING THREE
00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:19.270
OR FOUR HOURS A DAY.
00:12:19.270 --> 00:12:20.160
I WAS READING ON MY BREAKS
00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:22.140
AT THE FACTORY,
00:12:22.140 --> 00:12:23.110
AND I'D GET IN FIGHTS
00:12:23.110 --> 00:12:24.030
IF PEOPLE SAID
00:12:24.030 --> 00:12:24.220
SOMETHING ABOUT ME.
00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:25.150
I'D SAY, WHAT'D YOU SAY?
00:12:25.150 --> 00:12:26.090
I'D BE READING MY BIBLE,
00:12:26.090 --> 00:12:27.050
AND I'D GET INTO A FIGHT,
00:12:27.050 --> 00:12:27.270
LITERALLY, DEFENDING READING
00:12:27.270 --> 00:12:29.200
THE BIBLE.
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:30.160
PRETTY HOLY ATTITUDE, RIGHT?
00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:31.280
YEAH, 'CAUSE THEY WERE
00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:33.120
ROUGH CHARACTERS,
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:34.090
AND NEEDED TO START
00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:35.030
MAKING FUN OF ME.
00:12:35.030 --> 00:12:35.240
I SAID YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.170
MAKE FUN OF ME.
00:12:36.170 --> 00:12:37.090
I WAS READY TO HIT THEM
00:12:37.090 --> 00:12:38.070
WITH MY BIBLE, BUT YOU KNOW
00:12:38.070 --> 00:12:39.060
I WAS IN THE PROCESS.
00:12:39.060 --> 00:12:40.180
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T --
00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:42.060
I WASN'T VERY GENTLE,
00:12:42.180 --> 00:12:45.180
BUT THE POWER OF GOD CAME
00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:46.260
TO MY LIFE, AND IT CHANGED ME.
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.240
THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.220
CAME TO MY LIFE,
00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:53.010
AND IT CHANGED ME,
00:12:53.010 --> 00:12:54.280
AND I BEG YOU LET
00:12:54.280 --> 00:12:56.270
SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS
00:12:56.270 --> 00:12:59.020
COME TO YOUR LIFE,
00:12:59.020 --> 00:12:59.240
AND I BEGAN TO HAVE
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:00.140
SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS
00:13:00.140 --> 00:13:01.280
WITH GOD.
00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:02.190
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO START
00:13:02.190 --> 00:13:03.110
TELLING THEM RIGHT NOW,
00:13:03.110 --> 00:13:04.110
BUT UNBELIEVABLE
00:13:04.110 --> 00:13:05.140
SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS,
00:13:05.140 --> 00:13:07.000
AND I WAS HEARING HIS VOICE,
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:07.280
AND HE WAS TELLING ME
00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:08.290
WHAT TO DO AND TELLING ME
00:13:08.290 --> 00:13:09.230
WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN
00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:10.170
AND THINGS BEGAN HAPPENING,
00:13:10.170 --> 00:13:11.190
AND I THOUGHT, WOW,
00:13:11.190 --> 00:13:13.190
AND THEN PEOPLE'S LIVES
00:13:13.190 --> 00:13:14.150
STARTED BEING CHANGED,
00:13:14.150 --> 00:13:15.120
AND I STARTED SHARING
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.280
WHAT THE LORD WAS DOING
00:13:16.280 --> 00:13:17.230
IN MY LIFE AND THAT IS WHAT
00:13:17.230 --> 00:13:18.270
BEGAN TO CHANGE MY LIFE
00:13:18.270 --> 00:13:19.250
AND CHANGE OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.
00:13:19.250 --> 00:13:22.060
AND I THOUGHT, MAN,
00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:22.250
WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT
00:13:22.250 --> 00:13:24.000
THAN SHARING GOD'S LOVE
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:25.220
AND HIS SUPERNATURAL
00:13:25.220 --> 00:13:27.100
INTERTWINING IN OUR LIVES HERE?
00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:30.250
OKAY.
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:31.230
YOU KNOW, THEN I WENT TO STUDY
00:13:31.230 --> 00:13:33.170
AT UNIVERSITY AND ALL THAT STUFF
00:13:33.230 --> 00:13:36.230
GOT TRAINED RIGHT OUT OF ME.
00:13:36.230 --> 00:13:39.050
BUT GOD HAD MERCY
00:13:39.050 --> 00:13:39.290
AND BROUGHT IT BACK.
00:13:39.290 --> 00:13:42.220
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:44.160
FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:45.270
IS NOT CONSISTENT IN WORDS,
00:13:45.270 --> 00:13:47.020
BUT IN POWER.
00:13:47.020 --> 00:13:49.200
FLIP A FEW PAGES BACK.
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.160
I'VE GOT TO GET
00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:52.090

00:13:52.090 --> 00:13:53.030
I WANT TO BE SURE YOU ALL
00:13:53.030 --> 00:13:53.290
GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH
00:13:53.290 --> 00:13:54.220
THIS MORNING.
00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:56.130
ROMANS 15, FLIP A FEW PAGES BACK
00:13:57.140 --> 00:14:00.160
FROM WHERE WE WERE IN
00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:01.070
1 CORINTHIANS.
00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:05.100
ROMANS 15:18-19,
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.080
"FOR I WILL NOT PRESUME
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:14.080
TO SPEAK OF ANYTHING
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.170
EXCEPT WHAT CHRIST
00:14:15.170 --> 00:14:16.120
HAS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH ME
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.240
RESULTING IN THE OBEDIENCE
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.100
OF THE GENTILES BY WORD AND DEED
00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:21.180
IN THE POWER OF SIGNS
00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:22.120
AND WONDERS,"
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.090
LITERALLY ATTESTING
00:14:24.090 --> 00:14:25.160
OR PROVING UP MIRACLES.
00:14:25.160 --> 00:14:27.240
MIRACLES THAT PROVED
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.190
WHAT I WAS PREACHING.
00:14:29.190 --> 00:14:31.050
IN THE POWER OF SIGNS
00:14:31.050 --> 00:14:32.240
AND WONDERS.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.180
"IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT
00:14:33.180 --> 00:14:35.250
SO THAT FROM JERUSALEM
00:14:35.250 --> 00:14:36.240
AND ROUND ABOUT AS FAR ILLYRICUM
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.150
I HAVE FULLY PREACHED
00:14:38.150 --> 00:14:39.230
THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST."
00:14:39.230 --> 00:14:41.250
SO, TO FULLY PREACH THE GOSPEL,
00:14:41.250 --> 00:14:43.210
PAUL IS IMPLYING HERE
00:14:43.210 --> 00:14:44.270
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
00:14:44.270 --> 00:14:46.110
SIGNS AND WONDERS.
00:14:46.110 --> 00:14:47.240
OKAY.
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.190
NOW, LOOK, WE ALL KNOW WHAT
00:14:48.190 --> 00:14:51.070
A SIGN IS FOR, CORRECT?
00:14:51.070 --> 00:14:52.250
A SIGN.
00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:53.130
IF YOU LOOK OUT HERE,
00:14:53.130 --> 00:14:54.190
YOU SEE LAKESHORE,
00:14:54.190 --> 00:14:55.170
A SIGN THAT SAYS
00:14:55.170 --> 00:14:56.260
LAKESHORE DRIVE.
00:14:56.260 --> 00:14:58.000
OKAY.
00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.010
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
00:14:59.010 --> 00:14:59.260
LAKESHORE DRIVE,
00:14:59.260 --> 00:15:01.140
YOU DON'T PULL UP
00:15:01.140 --> 00:15:02.130
AND START STARING AT THE SIGN
00:15:02.130 --> 00:15:03.180
AND SAY, OH, THE SIGN,
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.000
THERE'S THE SIGN, WOO,
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.100
THE SIGN.
00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:12.050
NO.
00:15:12.050 --> 00:15:12.260
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WHAT
00:15:12.260 --> 00:15:13.220
THE SIGN IS POINTING TO.
00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:16.130
RIGHT?
00:15:16.130 --> 00:15:17.240
WHAT THE SIGN IS POINTING TO
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.140
IS GOD'S LOVE.
00:15:19.140 --> 00:15:22.080
WHAT THE STREET SIGN
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:22.260
IS POINTING TO IS THE STREET.
00:15:22.260 --> 00:15:25.010
IT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
00:15:25.010 --> 00:15:25.220
TO GET TO.
00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:27.130
WE'RE TRYING TO GET
00:15:27.130 --> 00:15:28.090
TO GOD'S LOVE.
00:15:28.090 --> 00:15:28.230
WE WANT IT TO BE REAL
00:15:28.230 --> 00:15:29.270
IN OUR LIVES
00:15:29.270 --> 00:15:30.170
LIKE I CHALLENGED THE LORD.
00:15:30.170 --> 00:15:31.180
LORD, IF YOU'RE REAL,
00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:32.040
PROVE IT TO ME.
00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:34.030
HE DID, AND MY LIFE
00:15:34.030 --> 00:15:36.010
COMPLETELY CHANGED
00:15:36.010 --> 00:15:36.250
BECAUSE HE KNEW MY HEART
00:15:36.250 --> 00:15:37.170
WAS SINCERE.
00:15:37.170 --> 00:15:38.130
I WANTED IT TO BE REAL.
00:15:38.130 --> 00:15:39.180
IF THIS IS NOT REAL,
00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:41.000
IF THIS NOT GENUINE,
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:41.250
IF THIS IS NOT AUTHENTIC,
00:15:41.250 --> 00:15:43.260
IF YOUR POWER CANNOT
00:15:43.260 --> 00:15:44.280
CHANGE LIVES AND BE ON DISPLAY,
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:47.100
THEN I'VE SAID TO THE LORD
00:15:47.100 --> 00:15:48.110
MANY TIMES IF I CAN'T HAVE THAT,
00:15:48.110 --> 00:15:49.180
THEN TURN ME LOOSE
00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:50.210
SO I CAN JUST GO FOCUS
00:15:50.210 --> 00:15:51.160
ON MAKING MONEY.
00:15:51.160 --> 00:15:53.270
ARE YOU WITH ME?
00:15:53.270 --> 00:15:56.100
BUT IT IS REAL.
00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:58.290
HIS LOVE IS POWERFUL,
00:15:58.290 --> 00:16:00.200
AND WE CAN HAVE
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.070
SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS
00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:03.160
WITH THE LORD
00:16:03.160 --> 00:16:05.010
IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE LORD
00:16:05.010 --> 00:16:07.240
PUTS HIS SPIRIT ON PEOPLE
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.230
AROUND US,
00:16:09.230 --> 00:16:10.170
AND HE OPENS THEIR HEART,
00:16:10.170 --> 00:16:12.130
AND THEY RESPOND TO JESUS
00:16:12.130 --> 00:16:15.080
'CAUSE WE MAKE JESUS
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.110
IN THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PERSON
00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:17.200
IN THE WORLD.
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.010
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE AFTER,
00:16:20.010 --> 00:16:20.260
AND THIS IS NOT JUST FOR
00:16:20.260 --> 00:16:22.090
A FEW ELITE CHRISTIANS.
00:16:22.090 --> 00:16:23.260
IT'S FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN,
00:16:23.260 --> 00:16:25.000
AND CHILD TO STEP INTO.
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.200
IT IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT IN CHRIST
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.230
TO EXPERIENCE
00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:29.120
THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD,
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.160
AND JUST BECAUSE
00:16:31.160 --> 00:16:33.000
IT'S NOT TALKED ABOUT
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.230
OR PURSUED IN MUCH
00:16:34.230 --> 00:16:36.130
OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
00:16:36.130 --> 00:16:37.100
IN AMERICA,
00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:38.020
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT REAL.
00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:40.120
THE LORD IS MOVING WITH POWER
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.030
ALL OVER THE WORLD,
00:16:42.030 --> 00:16:43.150
AND I'M ASKING YOU,
00:16:43.150 --> 00:16:44.270
I'M BEGGING YOU,
00:16:44.270 --> 00:16:46.250
ASK THE LORD TO POUR OUT
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:47.220
HIS SPIRIT OVER YOU
00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:48.290
IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU CAN BE
00:16:48.290 --> 00:16:49.290
SO ANOINTED WITH HIS LOVE
00:16:49.290 --> 00:16:52.110
THAT HIS LOVE TOUCHES PEOPLE
00:16:52.110 --> 00:16:53.220
ALL AROUND YOU
00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:54.220
AND THAT LIVES ARE CHANGED,
00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:57.080
AND THE, YES,
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:58.060
EVEN SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES
00:16:58.060 --> 00:16:58.290
WOULD TAKE PLACE.
00:16:58.290 --> 00:17:00.120
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A MIRACLE
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.110
FOR SOMEBODY TO COME
00:17:01.110 --> 00:17:02.040
TO FAITH IN CHRIST,
00:17:02.040 --> 00:17:03.240
BUT LET ME TELL YOU,
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:04.160
IT SURE HELPS.
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.180
IF I WANT TO SERVE THE LORD,
00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:07.180
I'D RATHER SERVE HIM
00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.160
WITH ALL HIS POWER ON
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:09.120
DISPLAY THAN NOT.
00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:11.060
I'M NOT GOING TO THROW ROCKS
00:17:12.100 --> 00:17:15.100
AT ANYBODY EXCEPT
00:17:15.100 --> 00:17:16.190
THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS
00:17:16.190 --> 00:17:17.120
RELIGIOUS ONES.
00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:19.030
YOU KNOW, JESUS DID THAT.
00:17:19.030 --> 00:17:21.070
RIGHT?
00:17:21.070 --> 00:17:21.170
IT WAS A BAD YEAR TO BE
00:17:21.170 --> 00:17:22.160
A PHARISEE WHEN HE WALKED
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.110
THE EARTH.
00:17:23.110 --> 00:17:25.080
I'M JUST SAYING.
00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:26.130
BLESS THEIR HEARTS.
00:17:26.130 --> 00:17:27.220
OKAY?
00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:29.050
YOU KNOW, IN THE SOUTH AS LONG
00:17:29.050 --> 00:17:30.020
AS YOU SAY BLESS THEIR HEARTS
00:17:30.020 --> 00:17:31.250
AT THE END OF IT, IT'S OKAY.
00:17:31.250 --> 00:17:32.260
RIGHT?
00:17:32.260 --> 00:17:34.040
THAT'S A JOKE.
00:17:34.040 --> 00:17:34.270
IT'S NOT REALLY OKAY.
00:17:34.270 --> 00:17:37.090
BUT WE JUST THINK IT IS IN
00:17:37.090 --> 00:17:38.060
THE SOUTH AS LONG AS YOU SAY
00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:39.070
BLESS THEIR HEARTS IT'S OKAY.
00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:42.080
SO, STAY WITH ME HERE.
00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:43.240
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:44.290
THE RESURRECTION IN THIS SEASON
00:17:44.290 --> 00:17:46.160
WITH GREAT INTENSITY.
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.090
LOOK AT MATTHEW 22,
00:17:54.050 --> 00:17:57.050
AND I'M GOING TO READ
00:17:57.050 --> 00:17:58.070
A PASSAGE TO YOU
00:17:58.070 --> 00:18:00.070
'CAUSE WE NEED TO LAY
00:18:00.070 --> 00:18:02.200
THIS AS A FOUNDATION
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.070
FOR THE LORD JESUS,
00:18:04.070 --> 00:18:05.040
HIS TEACHING.
00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:05.270
MATTHEW 22:23 BEGINS THIS WAY,
00:18:05.270 --> 00:18:07.140
"ON THAT DAY, SOME SADDUCEES
00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:08.240
WHO SAY THERE
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:10.060
IS NO RESURRECTION CAME TO HIM
00:18:10.060 --> 00:18:12.000
AND QUESTIONED HIM SAYING,
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.050
TEACHER, MOSES SAID,"
00:18:13.050 --> 00:18:15.060
SO THAT'S LIKE SAYING AROUND
00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:16.260
HERE BILLY GRAHAM SAID,
00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:21.150
"IF A MAN DIES HAVING
00:18:21.150 --> 00:18:22.250
NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER
00:18:22.250 --> 00:18:24.000
NEXT-OF-KIN SHALL MARRY
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:24.230
HIS WIFE AND RAISE UP
00:18:24.230 --> 00:18:25.170
AN OFFSPRING TO HIS BROTHER.
00:18:25.170 --> 00:18:27.090
NOW THERE WERE SEVEN BROTHERS
00:18:27.090 --> 00:18:28.120
WITH US AND THE FIRST MARRIED
00:18:28.120 --> 00:18:30.090
AND DIED AND HAVING
00:18:30.090 --> 00:18:31.080
NO OFFSPRING LEFT HIS WIFE
00:18:31.080 --> 00:18:32.010
TO HIS BROTHER.
00:18:32.010 --> 00:18:33.030
SO, ALSO THE SECOND
00:18:33.030 --> 00:18:34.200
AND THE THIRD DOWN
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:35.130
TO THE SEVENTH
00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:36.030
AND LAST OF ALL THE WOMAN DIED.
00:18:36.030 --> 00:18:37.160
IN THE RESURRECTION, THEREFORE,
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.130
WHOSE WIFE
00:18:39.130 --> 00:18:40.060
OF THE SEVEN SHALL SHE BE?
00:18:40.060 --> 00:18:42.180
FOR THEY ALL HAD HER.
00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:43.210
BUT JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID
00:18:43.210 --> 00:18:44.250
TO THEM, YOU ARE MISTAKEN.
00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:46.000
NOT UNDERSTANDING, NUMBER ONE,
00:18:46.110 --> 00:18:49.110
THE SCRIPTURES, AND NUMBER TWO,
00:18:49.110 --> 00:18:50.030
THE POWER OF GOD."
00:18:50.030 --> 00:18:52.050
THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
00:18:52.050 --> 00:18:53.110
THE SCRIPTURES
00:18:53.110 --> 00:18:54.020
OR THE POWER OF GOD.
00:18:54.020 --> 00:18:55.060
SO, IT SPEAKS TO US.
00:18:55.060 --> 00:18:56.270
WE NEED TO BE SURE
00:18:56.270 --> 00:18:57.160
WE ARE WORKING IN SUCH A WAY,
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:58.240
LIVING IN SUCH A WAY
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.050
THAT WE ARE GROWING
00:19:00.050 --> 00:19:01.110
IN OUR UNDERSTANDING
00:19:01.110 --> 00:19:03.030
OF THE SCRIPTURES
00:19:03.030 --> 00:19:04.240
AND GROWING IN OUR UNDERSTANDING
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.010
OF THE POWER OF GOD
00:19:06.010 --> 00:19:08.150
BECAUSE HE SAID TO
00:19:08.150 --> 00:19:10.100
THESE SCHOLARS YOU
00:19:10.100 --> 00:19:11.020
DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES,
00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:11.280
AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:12.220
THE POWER OF GOD.
00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:14.260
NOW, SO MUCH OF THE CHURCH
00:19:14.260 --> 00:19:16.090
IS ASLEEP 'CAUSE THEY THINK
00:19:16.090 --> 00:19:17.240
THEY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.270
THE SCRIPTURES
00:19:19.270 --> 00:19:21.200
AND THINK THEY KNOW
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:22.230
AND UNDERSTAND
00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:24.000
THAT GOD IS OMNIPOTENT,
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.060
THAT GOD IS OMNISCIENT,
00:19:26.060 --> 00:19:28.270
THAT IS ALL-POWERFUL
00:19:28.270 --> 00:19:29.290
AND ALL-KNOWING.
00:19:29.290 --> 00:19:30.270
OKAY.
00:19:30.270 --> 00:19:32.020
BUT THEY JUST DON'T KNOW
00:19:32.020 --> 00:19:32.220
HIS POWER OR HIS WISDOM.
00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:34.260
HE SAID TO THESE,
00:19:34.260 --> 00:19:35.200
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.140
THE SCRIPTURES
00:19:36.140 --> 00:19:37.100
OR THE POWER OF GOD.
00:19:37.100 --> 00:19:39.020
I WOULD SUBMIT TO US
00:19:39.020 --> 00:19:40.150
THAT WE ALL NEED TO GROW
00:19:40.150 --> 00:19:41.250
IN UNDERSTANDING
00:19:41.250 --> 00:19:42.180
OF THE SCRIPTURES
00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:43.200
AND GOD'S POWER.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.190
AND THEN HE GOES ON TO TELL THEM
00:19:45.190 --> 00:19:47.020
GOD'S NOT THE GOD OF THE DEAD.
00:19:47.020 --> 00:19:49.020
HE'S THE GOD OF THE LIVING.
00:19:49.020 --> 00:19:50.110
GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC,
00:19:50.110 --> 00:19:51.080
AND JACOB.
00:19:51.080 --> 00:19:52.100
HE IS THE GOD OF THE LIVING,
00:19:52.100 --> 00:19:54.020
NOT OF THE DEAD.
00:19:54.020 --> 00:19:55.150
THEY LACKED UNDERSTANDING.
00:19:55.150 --> 00:19:57.150
SO, LET'S ASK THE LORD
00:19:57.150 --> 00:19:58.190
TO GIVE US A GROWING
00:19:58.190 --> 00:19:59.200
UNDERSTANDING OF HIS SCRIPTURES
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.160
AND OF HIS POWER.
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.000
HE WANTS TO PUT HIS POWER
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.090
ON DISPLAY.
00:20:05.090 --> 00:20:06.260
OKAY?
00:20:06.260 --> 00:20:08.000
IF WE WERE ACTING
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.240
AND LIVING IN SUCH A WAY --
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.100
I'M CHALLENGING US,
00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:11.080
I'M CHALLENGING ME.
00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:12.280
IF WE'RE ACTING AND LIVING
00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:13.170
IN SUCH A WAY
00:20:13.170 --> 00:20:14.210
THAT THE SUPERNATURAL POWER
00:20:14.210 --> 00:20:15.160
OF GOD IS NOT FOR RIGHT NOW
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.080
AND IN EACH OF OUR LIVES,
00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:18.250
WE ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING
00:20:18.250 --> 00:20:20.150
THE SCRIPTURES
00:20:20.150 --> 00:20:21.100
OR THE POWER OF GOD.
00:20:22.280 --> 00:20:25.280
THEY WERE CHALLENGING HIM
00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:26.260
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THEY WERE
00:20:26.260 --> 00:20:28.100
CONVINCED THERE WAS
00:20:28.100 --> 00:20:29.040
NO RESURRECTION.
00:20:29.040 --> 00:20:32.020
NOW, MAYBE NOT ONE OF YOU HERE
00:20:32.020 --> 00:20:33.190
OR NOT ONE PERSON
00:20:33.190 --> 00:20:34.180
LISTENING TO ME,
00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:36.000
MAYBE LET'S JUST SAY, PERHAPS,
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.110
NOT ONE PERSON STRUGGLES
00:20:38.110 --> 00:20:40.140
AT ALL WITH THE IDEA
00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:42.280
OF THE RESURRECTION.
00:20:42.280 --> 00:20:45.060
I WOULD BET NOBODY AT LEAST
00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:46.280
IN THIS AUDIENCE STRUGGLES
00:20:46.280 --> 00:20:49.160
WITH THE IDEA THAT JESUS
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.010
ROSE FROM THE DEAD
00:20:51.010 --> 00:20:52.030
AND THE RESURRECTION.
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.160
OKAY?
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.130
COULD WE GRANT THAT?
00:20:57.130 --> 00:20:59.290
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
00:20:59.290 --> 00:21:01.070
RAISING FROM THE DEAD
00:21:01.070 --> 00:21:02.240
IS A PRETTY WILD
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.100
SUPERNATURAL THING.
00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:07.100
SO, YOU'VE ALL JUST ADMITTED
00:21:07.100 --> 00:21:08.090
YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
00:21:08.090 --> 00:21:09.090
WILDLY SUPERNATURAL.
00:21:10.040 --> 00:21:13.040
SO IF GOD CAN DO THAT
00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:13.280
WILD SUPERNATURAL THING,
00:21:13.280 --> 00:21:15.240
WHY NOT OTHER MILD-MANNERED
00:21:16.130 --> 00:21:19.130
SUPERNATURAL THINGS
00:21:19.130 --> 00:21:21.080
LIKE HEALING A LEG
00:21:21.080 --> 00:21:22.080
LIKE WE JUST SAW.
00:21:22.100 --> 00:21:25.100
ARE YOU WITH ME?
00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:26.180
ARE YOU SEEING HOW EASY IT IS
00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:28.000
TO ACCEPT A TRADITION UP HERE
00:21:28.170 --> 00:21:31.170
AND NOT THE REALITY
00:21:31.170 --> 00:21:32.180
OF THE POSSIBILITY
00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:33.270
OF SUPERNATURAL MOVING OF GOD
00:21:33.270 --> 00:21:35.210
RIGHT HERE IN OUR HEART
00:21:35.210 --> 00:21:37.070
AND RIGHT HERE,
00:21:37.070 --> 00:21:37.290
RIGHT NOW?
00:21:37.290 --> 00:21:39.070
WHY IS THAT SO WAY BACK
00:21:39.070 --> 00:21:40.020
THERE EASY, BUT RIGHT NOW,
00:21:40.020 --> 00:21:41.000
YOU KNOW [INDISCERNIBLE].
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.160
SERIOUSLY?
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.100
SEE, THAT'S CALLED DECEPTION,
00:21:48.100 --> 00:21:50.220
AND THE ENEMY WANTS
00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:52.010
TO HAVE US WALKING DECEIVED
00:21:52.010 --> 00:21:53.200
AND CONTENT TO LIVE A LIFE
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.280
BELOW THE SUPERNATURAL
00:21:55.280 --> 00:21:57.150
POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT
00:21:57.150 --> 00:21:58.070
GOD WANTS TO DO.
00:21:58.070 --> 00:22:00.040
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY
00:22:00.040 --> 00:22:01.120
AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HEARING
00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:03.010
THIS MESSAGE TO SHAKE OFF
00:22:03.010 --> 00:22:04.020
OF YOU UNBELIEF IN GOD
00:22:04.210 --> 00:22:07.210
MOVING SUPERNATURALLY
00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:08.090
IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW.
00:22:10.050 --> 00:22:13.050
NOW, I MEAN, I COULD JUST
00:22:13.050 --> 00:22:14.170
STOP RIGHT THERE
00:22:14.170 --> 00:22:15.250
BECAUSE THERE'S JUST A WHOLE LOT
00:22:15.250 --> 00:22:17.040
OF FAITH IN THE ROOM RIGHT NOW
00:22:17.040 --> 00:22:19.060
FOR GOD TO MOVE WITH POWER
00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:21.070
BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WANT IT
00:22:21.070 --> 00:22:22.060
TO HAPPEN, BUT FRIENDS,
00:22:22.060 --> 00:22:23.270
THIS IS WHERE WE DETERMINE
00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:27.080
TO PURSUE THE POWER OF GOD
00:22:27.080 --> 00:22:29.090
EVERY SINGLE DAY,
00:22:29.090 --> 00:22:32.040
AND IT'S AVAILABLE
00:22:32.040 --> 00:22:33.030
TO CULTIVATE IT,
00:22:33.030 --> 00:22:34.170
TO WORK FOR IT, TO ASK FOR IT,
00:22:34.170 --> 00:22:36.040
TO BELIEVE FOR IT,
00:22:36.040 --> 00:22:37.050
TO IMPART IT TO OTHERS,
00:22:37.050 --> 00:22:38.080
TO ASK OTHERS TO JOIN WITH US
00:22:38.080 --> 00:22:39.220
IN PRAYING.
00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:41.020
I'M TELLING YOU, THE WHOLE IDEA
00:22:41.020 --> 00:22:42.100
OF THE GATHERING
00:22:42.100 --> 00:22:43.040
IS A SUPERNATURAL MOVE OF GOD.
00:22:43.040 --> 00:22:45.140
IT IS A SIGN AND A WONDER
00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:46.260
AND A MIRACLE
00:22:46.260 --> 00:22:48.190
THAT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
00:22:48.190 --> 00:22:49.210
WOULD GATHER
00:22:49.210 --> 00:22:51.010
FOR THE SAKE OF HEARING
00:22:51.010 --> 00:22:51.230
THE GOSPEL.
00:22:51.230 --> 00:22:54.000
THEY WOULD BRING LIKE LAST TIME
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:55.190
15 TONS OF FOOD
00:22:55.190 --> 00:22:56.240
TO BLESS OUR CITY.
00:22:56.260 --> 00:22:59.260
THAT'S A MIRACLE.
00:22:59.260 --> 00:23:00.250
THAT IS A SIGN AND A WONDER.
00:23:00.250 --> 00:23:02.220
THAT SIGN IS POINTING TO
00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:04.000
THE MOVE OF GOD IN OUR CITY,
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.280
AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU
00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:07.080
THAT WACO, TEXAS
00:23:07.080 --> 00:23:07.280
IS KNOWN IN HEAVEN.
00:23:08.010 --> 00:23:11.010
AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE
00:23:11.010 --> 00:23:12.150
INCREASINGLY MORE AND MORE
00:23:12.150 --> 00:23:14.040
SUPERNATURAL MOVES OF THE LORD
00:23:14.040 --> 00:23:16.000
HERE AND NOW
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.080
BECAUSE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:18.260
ARE HUNGERING AND THIRSTING
00:23:18.260 --> 00:23:20.140
FOR GOD'S POWER TO BE ON DISPLAY
00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:22.130
SO THAT PEOPLE WOULD KNOW
00:23:22.130 --> 00:23:23.100
HOW MUCH HE LOVES THEM
00:23:23.100 --> 00:23:25.000
AND GIVE THEIR LIFE TO CHRIST
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.010
AND BEGIN TO LIVE FOR HIM
00:23:27.010 --> 00:23:28.260
INSTEAD OF SELF-CENTERED
00:23:28.260 --> 00:23:29.250
SELFISH WAYS OF LIVING.
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.240
THE LORD JESUS CAME TO
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.020
SET US FREE FROM THAT GARBAGE,
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.160
FREE FROM SELFISHNESS,
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.130
BEING SELF-CENTERED.
00:23:41.130 --> 00:23:44.040
WE BEGIN TO LIVE FOR HIM
00:23:44.040 --> 00:23:45.040
AND ASKING GOD TO MOVE
00:23:45.040 --> 00:23:46.090
IN OUR LIVES,
00:23:46.090 --> 00:23:47.060
AND IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
00:23:47.060 --> 00:23:49.010
IT CHANGES THE WAY
00:23:49.010 --> 00:23:49.210
WE TREAT PEOPLE,
00:23:49.210 --> 00:23:50.140
THE WAY WE LOOK AT PEOPLE,
00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:51.170
THE WAY WE SERVE.
00:23:51.170 --> 00:23:53.040
THAT'S ALL TO AND FOR HIM.
00:23:53.040 --> 00:23:54.290
LORD, WE WANT YOUR LOVE
00:23:54.290 --> 00:23:55.260
TO BE ON DISPLAY.
00:23:55.260 --> 00:23:57.260
NOW, WE'RE ABOUT OUT OF TIME,
00:23:57.260 --> 00:23:59.060
BUT I'M GOING TO SHARE
00:23:59.060 --> 00:24:01.060
ONE MORE SCRIPTURE WITH YOU.
00:24:01.090 --> 00:24:04.090
WELL, I'M GOING TO KEEP
00:24:04.090 --> 00:24:05.030
PREACHING NEXT TIME.
00:24:05.030 --> 00:24:06.280
SO, I'M GOING TO MAKE A LINE.
00:24:07.050 --> 00:24:10.050
I ALWAYS FORGET WHERE I STOPPED,
00:24:10.050 --> 00:24:11.240
AND I HAVE TO HAVE JASON
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:12.160
TELL ME, REWIND THE TAPE,
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:13.240
WHERE DID I STOP?
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.120
BUT LET'S GO TO ACTS 4:1-2,
00:24:17.270 --> 00:24:20.270
AND WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE
00:24:20.270 --> 00:24:22.150
FROM THERE AND LAUNCH
00:24:22.150 --> 00:24:23.290
FROM THERE NEXT TIME.
00:24:23.290 --> 00:24:24.210
OKAY?
00:24:24.210 --> 00:24:25.120
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:26.120
OKAY.
00:24:26.120 --> 00:24:26.290
ACTS 4, LET'S GO THERE,
00:24:26.290 --> 00:24:29.250
THE FIRST TWO VERSES,
00:24:29.250 --> 00:24:31.120
AND THIS IS A REALLY FUN COUPLE
00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:32.250
OF CHAPTERS, 3 AND 4,
00:24:32.250 --> 00:24:34.170
AND I PREACH FROM IT
00:24:34.170 --> 00:24:35.100
ALL THE TIME.
00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:36.180
SO, IMPACTFUL, SO IMPORTANT.
00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:39.090
ACTS 4, "AS THEY WERE SPEAKING
00:24:41.260 --> 00:24:44.260
TO THE PEOPLE,
00:24:44.260 --> 00:24:45.190
THE PRIESTS AND THE CAPTAIN
00:24:45.190 --> 00:24:47.040
OF THE TEMPLE GUARD
00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:47.270
AND THE SADDUCEES,"
00:24:47.270 --> 00:24:48.240
YOU KNOW OUR OLD FRIENDS
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.160
THE SADDUCEES,
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:50.250
"CAME UPON THEM BEING
00:24:50.250 --> 00:24:52.070
GREATLY DISTURBED,"
00:24:52.070 --> 00:24:54.140
CAN YOU REPEAT THAT
00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:55.080
AND SAY GREATLY DISTURBED.
00:24:55.080 --> 00:24:57.200
ONE MORE TIME.
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:58.100
GREATLY DISTURBED.
00:24:58.100 --> 00:25:00.130
SO, THESE LEADERS,
00:25:00.130 --> 00:25:02.010
THE PRIESTS AND THE TEMPLE GUARD
00:25:02.010 --> 00:25:04.040
AND THE SADDUCEES
00:25:04.040 --> 00:25:05.040
ARE GREATLY DISTURBED
00:25:05.040 --> 00:25:06.050
BECAUSE THEY WERE TEACHING
00:25:06.050 --> 00:25:08.040
THE PEOPLE AND PROCLAIMING
00:25:08.040 --> 00:25:09.110
IN JESUS THE RESURRECTION
00:25:09.110 --> 00:25:10.270
FROM THE DEAD.
00:25:10.270 --> 00:25:13.100
IT'S UNSETTLING TO PEOPLE.
00:25:13.100 --> 00:25:16.000
BUT WE'RE SAYING IN JESUS,
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.060
THERE IS THE RESURRECTION
00:25:18.060 --> 00:25:18.280
OF THE DEAD.
00:25:18.280 --> 00:25:20.150
THERE IS HOPE.
00:25:20.150 --> 00:25:21.140
THERE'S LIFE.
00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:22.240
AND WE ARE TO DO EVERYTHING
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.260
WE CAN TO MAKE JESUS
00:25:23.260 --> 00:25:25.080
THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PERSON
00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:27.000
IN THE WORLD,
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:28.250
AND ANYBODY THAT WOULD HINDER
00:25:28.250 --> 00:25:30.130
OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD HINDER
00:25:30.130 --> 00:25:31.260
THAT PROCLAMATION
00:25:31.260 --> 00:25:33.120
WE'VE GOT MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.
00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:34.240
AMEN.
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:36.020
OKAY.
00:25:36.020 --> 00:25:36.230
WE'RE GOING TO PICK UP
00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:37.180
THERE NEXT TIME.
00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:38.100
WELL, IT'S VERSE 33.
00:25:38.100 --> 00:25:39.040
THINK OF VERSE 33.
00:25:39.040 --> 00:25:40.210
I KNOW, I'M SUPPOSED TO STOP,
00:25:40.210 --> 00:25:41.170
BUT LOOK AT VERSE 33.
00:25:41.170 --> 00:25:42.240
LET'S END WITH THIS.
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:43.220
VERSE 33, SAME CHAPTER.
00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:44.250
"AND WITH GREAT POWER,"
00:25:44.250 --> 00:25:47.090
SAY GREAT POWER.
00:25:47.090 --> 00:25:49.190
"THE APOSTLES WERE GIVING
00:25:49.190 --> 00:25:50.120
WITNESS TO THE RESURRECTION
00:25:50.120 --> 00:25:51.280
OF THE LORD JESUS
00:25:51.280 --> 00:25:53.030
AN ABUNDANT GRACE THAT
00:25:53.030 --> 00:25:54.010
HIS FAVOR WAS UPON THEM ALL."
00:25:54.010 --> 00:25:55.190
SO, THE LORD GAVE THEM
00:25:55.190 --> 00:25:56.140
GREAT POWER TO PREACH
00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:59.120
THE RESURRECTION.
00:25:59.120 --> 00:26:01.210
SO, I DECLARE OVER US GOD
00:26:01.210 --> 00:26:02.230
IS GIVING US GREAT POWER
00:26:02.230 --> 00:26:04.160
TO PREACH THE RESURRECTION,
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:06.110
AND THE LIFE
00:26:06.110 --> 00:26:07.110
AND THE HOPE
00:26:07.110 --> 00:26:08.000
THAT'S FOUND IN JESUS.
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:09.200
GOD BLESS YOU THIS MORNING.
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:10.260
LET'S ALL STAND.
00:26:11.070 --> 00:26:14.070
THANK YOU, LORD.
00:26:14.070 --> 00:26:15.060
AMEN.
00:26:15.060 --> 00:26:17.050
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY.
00:26:17.050 --> 00:26:18.110
HECK.
00:26:18.110 --> 00:26:19.280
LORD, WE THANK YOU
00:26:19.280 --> 00:26:20.280
FOR MOVING IN OUR MIDST,
00:26:20.280 --> 00:26:22.110
FOR SPEAKING TO OUR HEARTS.
00:26:22.110 --> 00:26:23.160
WE THANK YOU, LORD,
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.000
THAT EVEN AS I PREPARE
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.250
THIS MESSAGE YOU ARE OPENING
00:26:26.250 --> 00:26:27.260
MY HEART TO EVEN
00:26:27.260 --> 00:26:28.160
GREATER POSSIBILITIES.
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.030
LORD, I CONFESS TO YOU
00:26:30.030 --> 00:26:31.060
I THINK TOO SMALL.
00:26:31.060 --> 00:26:33.000
LORD, I PRAY THAT YOU HELP
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.000
ALL OF US TO THINK
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:35.290
BIGGER THOUGHTS.
00:26:35.290 --> 00:26:37.250
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE SO MUCH
00:26:37.250 --> 00:26:38.250
FARTHER AS FAR AS HEAVEN
00:26:38.250 --> 00:26:40.290
IS ABOVE THE EARTH,
00:26:40.290 --> 00:26:41.230
YOUR WORD SAYS.
00:26:41.230 --> 00:26:43.070
SO, ARE YOUR WAYS
00:26:43.070 --> 00:26:44.020
AND YOUR THOUGHTS AHEAD OF OURS.
00:26:44.020 --> 00:26:45.260
SO, LORD, OPEN OUR MINDS
00:26:45.260 --> 00:26:47.020
AND OUR HEARTS TO RESPOND
00:26:47.020 --> 00:26:48.110
TO THE THINGS YOU'RE SAYING
00:26:48.110 --> 00:26:50.290
TO US THAT WE MIGHT HAVE
00:26:50.290 --> 00:26:52.230
A HUNGER AND A THIRST
00:26:52.230 --> 00:26:53.290
TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR LOVE
00:26:53.290 --> 00:26:55.110
IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU
00:26:55.110 --> 00:26:57.030
ARE REGULARLY INTERVENING
00:26:57.030 --> 00:26:59.210
IN PEOPLE'S LIVES
00:26:59.210 --> 00:27:00.280
SUPERNATURALLY THROUGH US.
00:27:00.280 --> 00:27:03.120
THAT'S OUR HOPE
00:27:03.120 --> 00:27:04.100
AND THAT'S OUR PRAYER.
00:27:04.100 --> 00:27:06.000
- AFTER NIGHT
00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:21.120
COMES A LIGHT
00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:24.090
