  • Pastor matt hagee: we live in
  • 00:00:15.376 --> 00:00:16.143
  • Pastor matt hagee: we live in a world where most of the time
  • 00:00:16.210 --> 00:00:18.312
  • A world where most of the time we're skeptical
  • 00:00:18.379 --> 00:00:19.413
  • We're skeptical of what people say.
  • 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.749
  • Of what people say. when they make a promise,
  • 00:00:21.816 --> 00:00:24.185
  • When they make a promise, we don't believe that they're
  • 00:00:24.251 --> 00:00:25.719
  • We don't believe that they're going to keep the promise.
  • 00:00:25.786 --> 00:00:27.188
  • Going to keep the promise. as a matter of fact,
  • 00:00:27.254 --> 00:00:27.755
  • As a matter of fact, we're actually surprised
  • 00:00:27.822 --> 00:00:28.923
  • We're actually surprised when they do.
  • 00:00:28.989 --> 00:00:31.092
  • When they do. when somebody
  • 00:00:31.158 --> 00:00:31.759
  • When somebody says something and then
  • 00:00:31.826 --> 00:00:32.993
  • Says something and then they actually do it, we go,
  • 00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:34.495
  • They actually do it, we go, "wow.
  • 00:00:34.562 --> 00:00:35.729
  • "wow. they did what they said."
  • 00:00:35.796 --> 00:00:38.699
  • They did what they said." however, when you get something
  • 00:00:38.766 --> 00:00:40.167
  • However, when you get something from god and god says it,
  • 00:00:40.234 --> 00:00:42.937
  • From god and god says it, god not only keeps his promise,
  • 00:00:43.003 --> 00:00:44.572
  • God not only keeps his promise, but he exceeds the performance
  • 00:00:44.638 --> 00:00:46.807
  • But he exceeds the performance that he based in the promise.
  • 00:00:46.874 --> 00:00:49.910
  • That he based in the promise. he goes beyond
  • 00:00:49.977 --> 00:00:50.845
  • He goes beyond what he said he would do.
  • 00:00:50.911 --> 00:00:54.648
  • What he said he would do. this is why we read
  • 00:00:54.715 --> 00:00:55.382
  • This is why we read in the bible ephesians 3:20,
  • 00:00:55.449 --> 00:00:57.218
  • In the bible ephesians 3:20, "now to him who is able
  • 00:00:57.284 --> 00:00:58.085
  • "now to him who is able to do exceedingly
  • 00:00:58.152 --> 00:01:00.688
  • To do exceedingly and abundantly above all
  • 00:01:00.754 --> 00:01:02.256
  • And abundantly above all that we could ask,
  • 00:01:02.323 --> 00:01:03.057
  • That we could ask, think, or imagine."
  • 00:01:03.124 --> 00:01:04.825
  • Think, or imagine." our god doesn't just
  • 00:01:04.892 --> 00:01:05.893
  • Our god doesn't just do what he says,
  • 00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:06.760
  • Do what he says, he exceeds what he says.
  • 00:01:06.827 --> 00:01:09.563
  • He exceeds what he says. for example, he said he would
  • 00:01:09.630 --> 00:01:11.298
  • For example, he said he would pardon from sin, but when
  • 00:01:11.365 --> 00:01:12.600
  • Pardon from sin, but when you read isaiah 55:7,
  • 00:01:12.666 --> 00:01:14.602
  • You read isaiah 55:7, it doesn't just say
  • 00:01:14.668 --> 00:01:15.503
  • It doesn't just say he'll pardon,
  • 00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:16.237
  • He'll pardon, it says he will
  • 00:01:16.303 --> 00:01:16.904
  • It says he will abundantly pardon.
  • 00:01:16.971 --> 00:01:19.907
  • Abundantly pardon. we read in the bible,
  • 00:01:19.974 --> 00:01:20.508
  • We read in the bible, "he'll provide,"
  • 00:01:20.574 --> 00:01:21.275
  • "he'll provide," and when you read luke 6:38,
  • 00:01:21.342 --> 00:01:23.377
  • And when you read luke 6:38, it doesn't just say he provides,
  • 00:01:23.444 --> 00:01:25.012
  • It doesn't just say he provides, it says he provides
  • 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.147
  • It says he provides pressed down, shaken together,
  • 00:01:26.213 --> 00:01:27.815
  • Pressed down, shaken together, running over with good measure
  • 00:01:27.882 --> 00:01:29.183
  • Running over with good measure to the point you can't
  • 00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:30.084
  • To the point you can't contain it.
  • 00:01:30.151 --> 00:01:30.851
  • Contain it. he abundantly provides.
  • 00:01:30.918 --> 00:01:32.586
  • He abundantly provides. he doesn't just promise to save,
  • 00:01:32.653 --> 00:01:34.188
  • He doesn't just promise to save, it says that he'll save
  • 00:01:34.255 --> 00:01:35.322
  • It says that he'll save to the uttermost.
  • 00:01:35.389 --> 00:01:36.557
  • To the uttermost. meaning that it doesn't
  • 00:01:36.624 --> 00:01:37.491
  • Meaning that it doesn't matter how far you've gone,
  • 00:01:37.558 --> 00:01:39.226
  • Matter how far you've gone, his grace is sufficient
  • 00:01:39.293 --> 00:01:40.494
  • His grace is sufficient to reach you where you
  • 00:01:40.561 --> 00:01:41.795
  • To reach you where you are and redeem you.
  • 00:01:41.862 --> 00:01:44.031
  • Are and redeem you. he doesn't just promise to heal,
  • 00:01:44.098 --> 00:01:45.432
  • He doesn't just promise to heal, the bible says that he heals
  • 00:01:45.499 --> 00:01:47.501
  • The bible says that he heals all of our diseases.
  • 00:01:47.568 --> 00:01:49.036
  • All of our diseases. so today, we not only have
  • 00:01:49.103 --> 00:01:50.771
  • So today, we not only have a god who keeps his promise,
  • 00:01:50.838 --> 00:01:52.339
  • A god who keeps his promise, but we have a god who exceeds
  • 00:01:52.406 --> 00:01:54.408
  • But we have a god who exceeds the promises he keeps.
  • 00:01:54.475 --> 00:01:57.945
  • The promises he keeps. john 10, jesus made it
  • 00:01:58.012 --> 00:01:59.947
  • John 10, jesus made it very clear in verse 9,
  • 00:02:00.014 --> 00:02:01.348
  • Very clear in verse 9, "i am the door."
  • 00:02:01.415 --> 00:02:03.317
  • "i am the door." say that with me,
  • 00:02:03.384 --> 00:02:03.951
  • Say that with me, "i am the door."
  • 00:02:04.018 --> 00:02:05.786
  • "i am the door." he's saying so clearly
  • 00:02:05.853 --> 00:02:07.821
  • He's saying so clearly that he is the only channel
  • 00:02:07.888 --> 00:02:10.291
  • That he is the only channel by which you can receive
  • 00:02:10.357 --> 00:02:11.692
  • By which you can receive promises from god.
  • 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.727
  • Promises from god. 2 peter agrees with what
  • 00:02:13.794 --> 00:02:15.396
  • 2 peter agrees with what jesus said when it said,
  • 00:02:15.462 --> 00:02:16.797
  • Jesus said when it said, "grace and peace be multiplied
  • 00:02:16.864 --> 00:02:18.499
  • "grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of god
  • 00:02:18.566 --> 00:02:19.833
  • To you in the knowledge of god through jesus, our lord.
  • 00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:22.770
  • Through jesus, our lord. it all comes through jesus.
  • 00:02:22.836 --> 00:02:25.472
  • It all comes through jesus. god's abundant provision is
  • 00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:27.308
  • God's abundant provision is found in his promise.
  • 00:02:27.374 --> 00:02:29.176
  • Found in his promise. his promise is his word.
  • 00:02:29.243 --> 00:02:31.178
  • His promise is his word. his word is jesus.
  • 00:02:31.245 --> 00:02:36.483
  • His word is jesus. john 1, it says,
  • 00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:37.585
  • John 1, it says, "in the beginning was the word,
  • 00:02:37.651 --> 00:02:38.519
  • "in the beginning was the word, and the word was with god,
  • 00:02:38.586 --> 00:02:39.486
  • And the word was with god, and the word was god,
  • 00:02:39.553 --> 00:02:40.321
  • And the word was god, and nothing was made that
  • 00:02:40.387 --> 00:02:41.288
  • And nothing was made that was made without the word."
  • 00:02:41.355 --> 00:02:42.223
  • Was made without the word." go all the way
  • 00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:42.957
  • Go all the way to verse 14 and it says,
  • 00:02:43.023 --> 00:02:43.924
  • To verse 14 and it says, "and the word was made flesh,"
  • 00:02:43.991 --> 00:02:46.660
  • "and the word was made flesh," which was jesus,
  • 00:02:46.727 --> 00:02:48.329
  • Which was jesus, "and it dwelt among us."
  • 00:02:48.395 --> 00:02:50.364
  • "and it dwelt among us." so, when it comes
  • 00:02:50.431 --> 00:02:50.931
  • So, when it comes to finding out what you have
  • 00:02:50.998 --> 00:02:52.633
  • To finding out what you have in the form of promises
  • 00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:53.667
  • In the form of promises and how you can receive
  • 00:02:53.734 --> 00:02:54.868
  • And how you can receive those promises,
  • 00:02:54.935 --> 00:02:56.270
  • Those promises, one, the promises
  • 00:02:56.337 --> 00:02:57.104
  • One, the promises are guaranteed,
  • 00:02:57.171 --> 00:02:58.005
  • Are guaranteed, two, the promises
  • 00:02:58.072 --> 00:02:59.273
  • Two, the promises are in the word,
  • 00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:00.374
  • Are in the word, and three, the promises
  • 00:03:00.441 --> 00:03:01.675
  • And three, the promises come from jesus
  • 00:03:01.742 --> 00:03:02.743
  • Come from jesus who is the word.
  • 00:03:02.810 --> 00:03:05.346
  • Who is the word. so, how does this work
  • 00:03:05.412 --> 00:03:06.046
  • So, how does this work in your life?
  • 00:03:06.113 --> 00:03:07.047
  • In your life? very simple.
  • 00:03:07.114 --> 00:03:08.249
  • Very simple. the more you get into the word,
  • 00:03:08.315 --> 00:03:10.284
  • The more you get into the word, the more the living promises
  • 00:03:10.351 --> 00:03:11.785
  • The more the living promises get into you.
  • 00:03:11.852 --> 00:03:13.120
  • Get into you. the more the living promises
  • 00:03:13.187 --> 00:03:14.622
  • The more the living promises get into you,
  • 00:03:14.688 --> 00:03:15.122
  • Get into you, the more the abundance
  • 00:03:15.189 --> 00:03:16.323
  • The more the abundance of god starts to come
  • 00:03:16.390 --> 00:03:17.157
  • Of god starts to come into your life.
  • 00:03:17.224 --> 00:03:18.626
  • [applause]
  • 00:03:19.059 --> 00:03:25.466
  • As a matter of fact,
  • 00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:27.101
  • As a matter of fact, 2 peter says that these
  • 00:03:27.167 --> 00:03:28.636
  • 2 peter says that these promises are exceedingly great
  • 00:03:28.702 --> 00:03:32.439
  • Promises are exceedingly great and precious promises.
  • 00:03:32.506 --> 00:03:35.676
  • And precious promises. exceedingly great
  • 00:03:35.743 --> 00:03:37.311
  • Exceedingly great and precious promises.
  • 00:03:37.378 --> 00:03:38.279
  • And precious promises. in verse 3,
  • 00:03:38.345 --> 00:03:39.380
  • In verse 3, it says his divine power
  • 00:03:39.446 --> 00:03:40.714
  • It says his divine power has given to us,
  • 00:03:40.781 --> 00:03:43.484
  • Has given to us, say that with me, given to us.
  • 00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:46.920
  • Say that with me, given to us. it doesn't say it's going
  • 00:03:46.987 --> 00:03:47.988
  • It doesn't say it's going to give it,
  • 00:03:48.055 --> 00:03:49.323
  • To give it, it says he has, what?
  • 00:03:49.390 --> 00:03:50.491
  • It says he has, what? given it.
  • 00:03:50.557 --> 00:03:51.392
  • Given it. it's already yours.
  • 00:03:51.458 --> 00:03:54.928
  • It's already yours. given to us all things.
  • 00:03:54.995 --> 00:04:00.834
  • Given to us all things. god's already given it.
  • 00:04:00.901 --> 00:04:04.004
  • God's already given it. so, why don't you have it?
  • 00:04:04.071 --> 00:04:08.008
  • So, why don't you have it? there's two reasons.
  • 00:04:08.075 --> 00:04:09.109
  • There's two reasons. one, people don't rejoice
  • 00:04:09.176 --> 00:04:11.445
  • One, people don't rejoice in what they don't know about.
  • 00:04:11.512 --> 00:04:14.748
  • In what they don't know about. you can't celebrate a promise
  • 00:04:14.815 --> 00:04:16.417
  • You can't celebrate a promise that you have no knowledge of.
  • 00:04:16.483 --> 00:04:19.286
  • That you have no knowledge of. one of the reasons that people
  • 00:04:19.353 --> 00:04:20.521
  • One of the reasons that people aren't more excited about
  • 00:04:20.587 --> 00:04:21.755
  • Aren't more excited about their salvation is they
  • 00:04:21.822 --> 00:04:22.756
  • Their salvation is they don't know what they got
  • 00:04:22.823 --> 00:04:23.590
  • Don't know what they got when they got saved.
  • 00:04:23.657 --> 00:04:26.660
  • When they got saved. hosea 4:6 says,
  • 00:04:26.727 --> 00:04:28.762
  • Hosea 4:6 says, "my people are destroyed
  • 00:04:28.829 --> 00:04:30.197
  • "my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge."
  • 00:04:30.264 --> 00:04:32.333
  • For a lack of knowledge." when you realize what jesus did
  • 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.201
  • When you realize what jesus did for you was salvation,
  • 00:04:34.268 --> 00:04:35.402
  • For you was salvation, you don't lack
  • 00:04:35.469 --> 00:04:36.670
  • You don't lack anything except for
  • 00:04:36.737 --> 00:04:39.473
  • Anything except for the knowledge of what
  • 00:04:39.540 --> 00:04:40.574
  • The knowledge of what he did for you.
  • 00:04:40.641 --> 00:04:42.309
  • He did for you. which means that the only way
  • 00:04:42.376 --> 00:04:43.544
  • Which means that the only way you can understand those
  • 00:04:43.610 --> 00:04:44.545
  • You can understand those promises is that you read them.
  • 00:04:44.611 --> 00:04:47.548
  • Promises is that you read them. they're all here,
  • 00:04:47.614 --> 00:04:48.182
  • They're all here, thousands of 'em,
  • 00:04:48.248 --> 00:04:50.284
  • Thousands of 'em, and they're guaranteed.
  • 00:04:50.351 --> 00:04:51.352
  • And they're guaranteed. 2 corinthians 1:20 says,
  • 00:04:51.418 --> 00:04:54.088
  • 2 corinthians 1:20 says, "all the promises of god,"
  • 00:04:54.154 --> 00:04:55.456
  • "all the promises of god," say that with me,
  • 00:04:55.522 --> 00:04:56.323
  • Say that with me, "all the promises
  • 00:04:56.390 --> 00:04:57.624
  • "all the promises of god in him,"
  • 00:04:57.691 --> 00:04:59.226
  • Of god in him," that's jesus, "are yes,
  • 00:04:59.293 --> 00:05:01.462
  • That's jesus, "are yes, and, in him, amen to the glory
  • 00:05:01.528 --> 00:05:03.864
  • And, in him, amen to the glory of god through us."
  • 00:05:03.931 --> 00:05:06.800
  • Of god through us." what does that mean?
  • 00:05:06.867 --> 00:05:07.401
  • What does that mean? that means that the more
  • 00:05:07.468 --> 00:05:08.569
  • That means that the more of those promises you live in,
  • 00:05:08.635 --> 00:05:10.003
  • Of those promises you live in, the more god gets glory,
  • 00:05:10.070 --> 00:05:11.772
  • The more god gets glory, so it's your opportunity
  • 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.474
  • So it's your opportunity and responsibility to know
  • 00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:15.109
  • And responsibility to know what those promises are.
  • 00:05:15.175 --> 00:05:18.345
  • What those promises are. but if you don't know them,
  • 00:05:18.412 --> 00:05:19.446
  • But if you don't know them, you can't benefit from them.
  • 00:05:19.513 --> 00:05:20.881
  • You can't benefit from them. and if you can't
  • 00:05:20.948 --> 00:05:21.749
  • And if you can't benefit from them,
  • 00:05:21.815 --> 00:05:23.183
  • Benefit from them, you can't act upon them.
  • 00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:25.519
  • You can't act upon them. the second reason that people
  • 00:05:25.586 --> 00:05:26.687
  • The second reason that people don't rejoice in the promises is
  • 00:05:26.754 --> 00:05:28.088
  • Don't rejoice in the promises is because they don't act upon 'em.
  • 00:05:28.155 --> 00:05:30.924
  • Because they don't act upon 'em. james 2:20 says, "faith without
  • 00:05:30.991 --> 00:05:33.460
  • James 2:20 says, "faith without works is," what?
  • 00:05:33.527 --> 00:05:34.828
  • Works is," what? "dead."
  • 00:05:34.895 --> 00:05:36.330
  • "dead." so, when you
  • 00:05:36.397 --> 00:05:36.830
  • So, when you discover a promise,
  • 00:05:36.897 --> 00:05:37.731
  • Discover a promise, you have to take action
  • 00:05:37.798 --> 00:05:38.766
  • You have to take action upon the promise because your
  • 00:05:38.832 --> 00:05:40.134
  • Upon the promise because your action is what qualifies you
  • 00:05:40.200 --> 00:05:42.069
  • Action is what qualifies you for abundance.
  • 00:05:42.136 --> 00:05:44.405
  • For abundance. obedience brings abundance.
  • 00:05:44.471 --> 00:05:47.374
  • Obedience brings abundance. when you act upon the promise,
  • 00:05:47.441 --> 00:05:49.176
  • When you act upon the promise, you activate that promise
  • 00:05:49.243 --> 00:05:50.811
  • You activate that promise in your life.
  • 00:05:50.878 --> 00:05:53.080
  • In your life. look at any promise
  • 00:05:53.147 --> 00:05:54.081
  • Look at any promise that god makes you.
  • 00:05:54.148 --> 00:05:54.715
  • That god makes you. james 5, it says that,
  • 00:05:54.782 --> 00:05:56.817
  • James 5, it says that, "the prayer of faith
  • 00:05:56.884 --> 00:05:57.584
  • "the prayer of faith will save the sick,"
  • 00:05:57.651 --> 00:05:58.752
  • Will save the sick," that's verse 15.
  • 00:05:58.819 --> 00:06:00.521
  • That's verse 15. but verse 14 tells you
  • 00:06:00.587 --> 00:06:02.089
  • But verse 14 tells you that before you can have
  • 00:06:02.156 --> 00:06:03.323
  • That before you can have the prayer of faith
  • 00:06:03.390 --> 00:06:04.191
  • The prayer of faith to save the sick,
  • 00:06:04.258 --> 00:06:05.125
  • To save the sick, you have to act upon it.
  • 00:06:05.192 --> 00:06:07.027
  • You have to act upon it. it says, "is there
  • 00:06:07.094 --> 00:06:07.828
  • It says, "is there any sick among you?
  • 00:06:07.895 --> 00:06:08.495
  • Any sick among you? let them call for
  • 00:06:08.562 --> 00:06:10.063
  • Let them call for the elders of the church,"
  • 00:06:10.130 --> 00:06:10.631
  • The elders of the church," that's action,
  • 00:06:10.697 --> 00:06:11.932
  • That's action, "and the prayer of faith
  • 00:06:11.999 --> 00:06:13.467
  • "and the prayer of faith will save the sick and the lord
  • 00:06:13.534 --> 00:06:14.635
  • Will save the sick and the lord will raise him up."
  • 00:06:14.701 --> 00:06:15.836
  • Will raise him up." it's not difficult for god
  • 00:06:15.903 --> 00:06:17.037
  • It's not difficult for god to heal the sickness,
  • 00:06:17.104 --> 00:06:19.339
  • To heal the sickness, but you have to act
  • 00:06:19.406 --> 00:06:20.040
  • But you have to act upon his promise before
  • 00:06:20.107 --> 00:06:21.508
  • Upon his promise before he can do the work.
  • 00:06:21.575 --> 00:06:23.544
  • He can do the work. luke 6, we mentioned it earlier,
  • 00:06:23.610 --> 00:06:25.746
  • Luke 6, we mentioned it earlier, verse 38, it says,
  • 00:06:25.813 --> 00:06:26.880
  • Verse 38, it says, "when god gives,
  • 00:06:26.947 --> 00:06:27.681
  • "when god gives, he gives exceedingly
  • 00:06:27.748 --> 00:06:29.349
  • He gives exceedingly and pressed down,
  • 00:06:29.416 --> 00:06:29.983
  • And pressed down, shaken together,
  • 00:06:30.050 --> 00:06:30.951
  • Shaken together, running over will he pour
  • 00:06:31.018 --> 00:06:31.952
  • Running over will he pour into your bosom good measure
  • 00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:33.487
  • Into your bosom good measure that you cannot contain it."
  • 00:06:33.554 --> 00:06:34.555
  • That you cannot contain it." now, that's the promise,
  • 00:06:34.621 --> 00:06:36.156
  • Now, that's the promise, but the first word that
  • 00:06:36.223 --> 00:06:37.191
  • But the first word that you read in the verse is
  • 00:06:37.257 --> 00:06:38.492
  • You read in the verse is the activating word which says,
  • 00:06:38.559 --> 00:06:39.893
  • The activating word which says, "give and it shall be
  • 00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:42.362
  • "give and it shall be given to you."
  • 00:06:42.429 --> 00:06:44.431
  • Given to you." you can't receive
  • 00:06:44.498 --> 00:06:45.365
  • You can't receive pressed down, shaken together,
  • 00:06:45.432 --> 00:06:46.800
  • Pressed down, shaken together, and running over until you
  • 00:06:46.867 --> 00:06:47.868
  • And running over until you activate it by giving.
  • 00:06:47.935 --> 00:06:51.405
  • Activate it by giving. god's promises
  • 00:06:51.472 --> 00:06:52.139
  • God's promises are in his word.
  • 00:06:52.206 --> 00:06:53.373
  • Are in his word. god's promises come
  • 00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:54.908
  • God's promises come through jesus christ.
  • 00:06:54.975 --> 00:06:56.009
  • Through jesus christ. god's promises are
  • 00:06:56.076 --> 00:06:57.578
  • God's promises are guaranteed by the lamb.
  • 00:06:57.644 --> 00:07:01.181
  • Guaranteed by the lamb. and god's promises
  • 00:07:01.248 --> 00:07:02.883
  • And god's promises are not circumstantial,
  • 00:07:02.950 --> 00:07:05.786
  • Are not circumstantial, they're conditional.
  • 00:07:05.853 --> 00:07:08.188
  • They're conditional. i wanna say that again because
  • 00:07:08.255 --> 00:07:09.156
  • I wanna say that again because many people believe opposite.
  • 00:07:09.223 --> 00:07:11.325
  • Many people believe opposite. god does not bless you
  • 00:07:11.391 --> 00:07:12.960
  • God does not bless you with his promises based
  • 00:07:13.026 --> 00:07:14.394
  • With his promises based on your circumstance.
  • 00:07:14.461 --> 00:07:16.430
  • On your circumstance. he blesses you with his promise
  • 00:07:16.497 --> 00:07:17.965
  • He blesses you with his promise when you meet the condition
  • 00:07:18.031 --> 00:07:19.266
  • When you meet the condition to have the promise met.
  • 00:07:19.333 --> 00:07:22.569
  • To have the promise met. we think that when
  • 00:07:22.636 --> 00:07:23.604
  • We think that when we get in a circumstance,
  • 00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:24.872
  • We get in a circumstance, we can go get a promise that
  • 00:07:24.938 --> 00:07:26.373
  • We can go get a promise that solves the circumstance.
  • 00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:27.407
  • Solves the circumstance. that's not how god works.
  • 00:07:27.474 --> 00:07:31.011
  • That's not how god works. god doesn't bless you based on
  • 00:07:31.078 --> 00:07:32.312
  • God doesn't bless you based on what you're going through.
  • 00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:34.248
  • What you're going through. he blesses you based on the fact
  • 00:07:34.314 --> 00:07:35.949
  • He blesses you based on the fact that you meet the conditions
  • 00:07:36.016 --> 00:07:37.284
  • That you meet the conditions for the blessing.
  • 00:07:37.351 --> 00:07:39.887
  • For the blessing. "oh, i'm going through
  • 00:07:39.953 --> 00:07:40.787
  • "oh, i'm going through a time of need.
  • 00:07:40.854 --> 00:07:41.922
  • A time of need. i'm believing for a provision."
  • 00:07:41.989 --> 00:07:43.557
  • I'm believing for a provision." god's a provider all the time.
  • 00:07:43.624 --> 00:07:46.827
  • God's a provider all the time. "oh, i'm in sickness.
  • 00:07:46.894 --> 00:07:47.761
  • "oh, i'm in sickness. i'm believing for a healer."
  • 00:07:47.828 --> 00:07:48.929
  • I'm believing for a healer." god's a healer all the time.
  • 00:07:48.996 --> 00:07:52.299
  • God's a healer all the time. "oh, i'm facing a trial.
  • 00:07:52.366 --> 00:07:53.433
  • "oh, i'm facing a trial. i'm believing for a deliverer."
  • 00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:54.835
  • I'm believing for a deliverer." god's a deliverer all the time.
  • 00:07:54.902 --> 00:07:58.539
  • God's a deliverer all the time. his promises are
  • 00:07:58.605 --> 00:07:59.573
  • His promises are not circumstantial,
  • 00:07:59.640 --> 00:08:00.407
  • Not circumstantial, they're conditional,
  • 00:08:00.474 --> 00:08:01.608
  • They're conditional, and you have to meet
  • 00:08:01.675 --> 00:08:02.676
  • And you have to meet the conditions for the promise.
  • 00:08:02.743 --> 00:08:05.946
  • The conditions for the promise. let's look at this application
  • 00:08:06.013 --> 00:08:07.681
  • Let's look at this application in the life of elijah.
  • 00:08:07.748 --> 00:08:09.550
  • In the life of elijah. elijah is a prophet.
  • 00:08:09.616 --> 00:08:10.684
  • Elijah is a prophet. israel is going
  • 00:08:10.751 --> 00:08:11.718
  • Israel is going through a drought,
  • 00:08:11.785 --> 00:08:12.286
  • Through a drought, they're starving in a famine,
  • 00:08:12.352 --> 00:08:13.887
  • They're starving in a famine, and god is feeding elijah when
  • 00:08:13.954 --> 00:08:16.490
  • And god is feeding elijah when the ravens are bringing him
  • 00:08:16.557 --> 00:08:17.958
  • The ravens are bringing him door dash every day.
  • 00:08:18.025 --> 00:08:20.994
  • Door dash every day. you think they came up
  • 00:08:21.061 --> 00:08:21.962
  • You think they came up with that through an app?
  • 00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:22.996
  • With that through an app? god had birds doing it
  • 00:08:23.063 --> 00:08:24.498
  • God had birds doing it for his prophet long ago.
  • 00:08:24.565 --> 00:08:26.934
  • [applause]
  • 00:08:27.234 --> 00:08:31.772
  • Tell me the bible ain't cool.
  • 00:08:32.839 --> 00:08:36.643
  • Tell me the bible ain't cool. but then one day the birds quit
  • 00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:37.711
  • But then one day the birds quit coming and the brook dries up.
  • 00:08:37.778 --> 00:08:41.248
  • Coming and the brook dries up. and elijah says,
  • 00:08:41.315 --> 00:08:41.915
  • And elijah says, "hey, what's for breakfast?"
  • 00:08:41.982 --> 00:08:45.619
  • "hey, what's for breakfast?" and god tells him in verse 9,
  • 00:08:45.686 --> 00:08:47.154
  • And god tells him in verse 9, he says, "arise and go
  • 00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:48.789
  • He says, "arise and go to zarephath and dwell there
  • 00:08:48.855 --> 00:08:50.791
  • To zarephath and dwell there because i have commanded a widow
  • 00:08:50.857 --> 00:08:52.526
  • Because i have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
  • 00:08:52.593 --> 00:08:55.329
  • There to provide for you." now, the bible tells us
  • 00:08:55.395 --> 00:08:56.196
  • Now, the bible tells us in romans 10:17,
  • 00:08:56.263 --> 00:08:57.798
  • In romans 10:17, "faith comes by hearing
  • 00:08:57.864 --> 00:08:58.832
  • "faith comes by hearing and hearing by," what?
  • 00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:00.334
  • And hearing by," what? the word of god."
  • 00:09:00.400 --> 00:09:02.169
  • The word of god." if you're gonna
  • 00:09:02.235 --> 00:09:02.869
  • If you're gonna activate the promise,
  • 00:09:02.936 --> 00:09:03.604
  • Activate the promise, you have to act in faith.
  • 00:09:03.670 --> 00:09:05.672
  • You have to act in faith. elijah gets a word, it says,
  • 00:09:05.739 --> 00:09:07.140
  • Elijah gets a word, it says, "go to zarephath,"
  • 00:09:07.207 --> 00:09:09.309
  • "go to zarephath," and in faith,
  • 00:09:09.376 --> 00:09:09.910
  • And in faith, he begins to act upon it
  • 00:09:09.977 --> 00:09:11.511
  • He begins to act upon it and he goes.
  • 00:09:11.578 --> 00:09:13.146
  • And he goes. if he goes anywhere else,
  • 00:09:13.213 --> 00:09:15.015
  • If he goes anywhere else, he starves to death.
  • 00:09:15.082 --> 00:09:17.651
  • He starves to death. but because he went
  • 00:09:17.718 --> 00:09:18.318
  • But because he went where god sent him,
  • 00:09:18.385 --> 00:09:20.520
  • Where god sent him, he qualifies for the blessing.
  • 00:09:20.587 --> 00:09:23.724
  • He qualifies for the blessing. so, elijah goes exactly
  • 00:09:23.790 --> 00:09:24.858
  • So, elijah goes exactly where god sends him.
  • 00:09:24.925 --> 00:09:26.493
  • Where god sends him. and when he gets there,
  • 00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:27.327
  • And when he gets there, he sees a widow who is
  • 00:09:27.394 --> 00:09:28.462
  • He sees a widow who is gathering sticks so that
  • 00:09:28.528 --> 00:09:30.263
  • Gathering sticks so that she can build a fire.
  • 00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:31.098
  • She can build a fire. and elijah says to the widow,
  • 00:09:31.164 --> 00:09:32.799
  • And elijah says to the widow, "bring me a cup of water,"
  • 00:09:32.866 --> 00:09:33.900
  • "bring me a cup of water," and while she goes
  • 00:09:33.967 --> 00:09:34.601
  • And while she goes to bring a cup of water,
  • 00:09:34.668 --> 00:09:35.402
  • To bring a cup of water, he says, "and bring me a cake."
  • 00:09:35.469 --> 00:09:38.905
  • [speaking spanish]
  • 00:09:39.773 --> 00:09:41.074
  • [laughter]
  • 00:09:41.341 --> 00:09:43.043
  • And she looks at him
  • 00:09:45.545 --> 00:09:47.114
  • And she looks at him in verse 12 and she says,
  • 00:09:47.180 --> 00:09:48.081
  • In verse 12 and she says, "as the lord our god lives,
  • 00:09:48.148 --> 00:09:50.651
  • "as the lord our god lives, i don't have bread.
  • 00:09:50.717 --> 00:09:52.552
  • I don't have bread. only a handful of flour in a bin
  • 00:09:52.619 --> 00:09:54.554
  • Only a handful of flour in a bin and a little bit of oil
  • 00:09:54.621 --> 00:09:55.789
  • And a little bit of oil in a jar.
  • 00:09:55.856 --> 00:09:56.923
  • In a jar. i'm gathering these sticks
  • 00:09:56.990 --> 00:09:58.392
  • I'm gathering these sticks so that i can go and prepare
  • 00:09:58.458 --> 00:09:59.993
  • So that i can go and prepare that i may eat it and die."
  • 00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:04.665
  • That i may eat it and die." she says, "this is it."
  • 00:10:04.731 --> 00:10:06.733
  • She says, "this is it." now, her circumstances are
  • 00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:09.169
  • Now, her circumstances are a circumstance of desperation,
  • 00:10:09.236 --> 00:10:11.605
  • A circumstance of desperation, but so were everyone else's.
  • 00:10:11.672 --> 00:10:13.040
  • But so were everyone else's. everyone else is
  • 00:10:13.106 --> 00:10:13.674
  • Everyone else is in the same situation,
  • 00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:16.243
  • In the same situation, yet she's acting in faith.
  • 00:10:16.309 --> 00:10:19.146
  • Yet she's acting in faith. not based on the circumstance,
  • 00:10:19.212 --> 00:10:21.481
  • Not based on the circumstance, but based on belief.
  • 00:10:21.548 --> 00:10:23.917
  • But based on belief. if she acted based on
  • 00:10:23.984 --> 00:10:25.719
  • If she acted based on the circumstance,
  • 00:10:25.786 --> 00:10:26.920
  • The circumstance, she would've starved to death.
  • 00:10:26.987 --> 00:10:29.056
  • She would've starved to death. she would've said,
  • 00:10:29.122 --> 00:10:29.823
  • She would've said, "look, i can't afford
  • 00:10:29.890 --> 00:10:30.991
  • "look, i can't afford to feed you and me.
  • 00:10:31.058 --> 00:10:32.125
  • To feed you and me. i'm sorry,
  • 00:10:32.192 --> 00:10:33.093
  • I'm sorry, i don't have anything."
  • 00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:35.529
  • I don't have anything." but the bible doesn't say
  • 00:10:35.595 --> 00:10:36.863
  • But the bible doesn't say that you are going to live
  • 00:10:36.930 --> 00:10:37.931
  • That you are going to live by the circumstance,
  • 00:10:37.998 --> 00:10:39.299
  • By the circumstance, the bible says the just

  • The bible says the just shall live by, what?
  • 00:10:40.534 --> 00:10:41.902
  • Shall live by, what? faith.
  • 00:10:41.968 --> 00:10:42.936
  • Faith. you'll either use faith
  • 00:10:43.003 --> 00:10:44.438
  • You'll either use faith to live above circumstance
  • 00:10:44.504 --> 00:10:45.706
  • To live above circumstance or you'll let circumstance
  • 00:10:45.772 --> 00:10:47.107
  • Or you'll let circumstance destroy your faith.
  • 00:10:47.174 --> 00:10:50.143
  • Destroy your faith. elijah speaks to her
  • 00:10:50.210 --> 00:10:51.111
  • Elijah speaks to her in verse 13 and he says
  • 00:10:51.178 --> 00:10:52.579
  • In verse 13 and he says some very important words,
  • 00:10:52.646 --> 00:10:53.847
  • Some very important words, "do not fear."
  • 00:10:53.914 --> 00:10:55.816
  • "do not fear." say that with me,
  • 00:10:55.882 --> 00:10:56.650
  • Say that with me, "do not fear."
  • 00:10:56.717 --> 00:10:58.051
  • "do not fear." faith kills fear
  • 00:10:58.118 --> 00:11:00.020
  • Faith kills fear or fear kills faith.
  • 00:11:00.087 --> 00:11:04.357
  • Or fear kills faith. and elijah said to her,
  • 00:11:04.424 --> 00:11:06.426
  • And elijah said to her, "make yourself a small cake,
  • 00:11:06.493 --> 00:11:09.796
  • "make yourself a small cake, but make me one first.
  • 00:11:09.863 --> 00:11:13.934
  • But make me one first. and afterwards, make some
  • 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.535
  • And afterwards, make some for yourself and for your son."
  • 00:11:15.602 --> 00:11:19.706
  • For yourself and for your son." he said, "in faith, give me
  • 00:11:19.773 --> 00:11:21.575
  • He said, "in faith, give me what you need and see if god
  • 00:11:21.641 --> 00:11:23.610
  • What you need and see if god won't give back to you
  • 00:11:23.677 --> 00:11:25.112
  • Won't give back to you more than what you have."
  • 00:11:25.178 --> 00:11:28.215
  • More than what you have." and then, he said,
  • 00:11:28.281 --> 00:11:28.915
  • And then, he said, "here's the promise.
  • 00:11:28.982 --> 00:11:29.950
  • "here's the promise. for thus says
  • 00:11:30.016 --> 00:11:30.584
  • For thus says the lord god of israel,

  • Nor shall the jar of oil run dry until the day
  • 00:11:34.321 --> 00:11:35.555
  • Run dry until the day the lord sends rain
  • 00:11:35.622 --> 00:11:36.590
  • The lord sends rain on the earth.

  • To the circumstance, she looks at this guy and says,

  • She looks at this guy and says, "you're crazy."

  • "you're crazy." but instead, in faith, she goes,

  • But instead, in faith, she goes, and she went, and she did.
  • 00:11:45.065 --> 00:11:47.033
  • And she went, and she did. that's what verse 15 says.

  • Say that with me. she went and she did.

  • Do you know when faith starts working?
  • 00:11:54.174 --> 00:11:54.841

  • She didn't act based on the circumstance,
  • 00:13:10.951 --> 00:13:12.085
  • The circumstance, she acted based on the promise,
  • 00:13:12.152 --> 00:13:14.387
  • She acted based on the promise, and because she met

  • And she had provision when others did not.
  • 00:13:18.592 --> 00:13:21.127
  • When others did not. god's promises
  • 00:13:21.194 --> 00:13:22.095
  • God's promises are not circumstantial,
  • 00:13:22.162 --> 00:13:23.263
  • Are not circumstantial, they're conditional.
  • 00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:25.498
  • They're conditional. so, what are the conditions?
  • 00:13:25.565 --> 00:13:26.299
  • So, what are the conditions? the first condition is you
  • 00:13:26.366 --> 00:13:27.868
  • The first condition is you fear the lord.
  • 00:13:27.934 --> 00:13:29.636
  • Fear the lord. psalms 34:9.
  • 00:13:29.703 --> 00:13:32.239
  • Psalms 34:9. it says, "fear the lord,
  • 00:13:32.305 --> 00:13:33.640
  • It says, "fear the lord, you his saints,
  • 00:13:33.707 --> 00:13:35.108
  • You his saints, for there is no want or lack
  • 00:13:35.175 --> 00:13:38.011
  • For there is no want or lack for those who fear him."
  • 00:13:38.078 --> 00:13:40.547
  • For those who fear him." what is the reward for
  • 00:13:40.614 --> 00:13:42.015
  • What is the reward for those who fear him?
  • 00:13:42.082 --> 00:13:42.716
  • Those who fear him? no want, no lack.
  • 00:13:42.782 --> 00:13:46.086
  • No want, no lack. so, what does it mean
  • 00:13:46.152 --> 00:13:46.820
  • So, what does it mean to fear the lord?
  • 00:13:46.887 --> 00:13:48.521
  • To fear the lord? when you fear the lord,
  • 00:13:48.588 --> 00:13:49.789
  • When you fear the lord, it doesn't mean that
  • 00:13:49.856 --> 00:13:50.690
  • It doesn't mean that you're afraid of god like
  • 00:13:50.757 --> 00:13:52.092
  • You're afraid of god like he's going to hurt you.
  • 00:13:52.158 --> 00:13:54.027
  • He's going to hurt you. when you fear the lord,
  • 00:13:54.094 --> 00:13:54.995
  • When you fear the lord, it means you revere him,
  • 00:13:55.061 --> 00:13:56.630
  • It means you revere him, and you honor him,
  • 00:13:56.696 --> 00:13:58.198
  • And you honor him, and you respect him,
  • 00:13:58.265 --> 00:13:59.966
  • And you respect him, and you take him seriously.
  • 00:14:00.033 --> 00:14:03.970
  • And you take him seriously. that means that when he says it,
  • 00:14:04.037 --> 00:14:05.872
  • That means that when he says it, you believe it.
  • 00:14:05.939 --> 00:14:08.275
  • You believe it. and because you believe it,
  • 00:14:08.341 --> 00:14:09.943
  • And because you believe it, you do it.
  • 00:14:10.010 --> 00:14:11.544
  • You do it. when you take
  • 00:14:11.611 --> 00:14:12.045
  • When you take somebody seriously,
  • 00:14:12.112 --> 00:14:13.346
  • Somebody seriously, you do what they say
  • 00:14:13.413 --> 00:14:14.781
  • You do what they say because you know that
  • 00:14:14.848 --> 00:14:15.649
  • Because you know that they're gonna act
  • 00:14:15.715 --> 00:14:16.349
  • They're gonna act upon their word.
  • 00:14:16.416 --> 00:14:18.151
  • Upon their word. so, when you take god
  • 00:14:18.218 --> 00:14:19.085
  • So, when you take god seriously at his word,
  • 00:14:19.152 --> 00:14:20.620
  • Seriously at his word, when he says it, you do it.
  • 00:14:20.687 --> 00:14:23.957
  • When he says it, you do it. the second condition is you
  • 00:14:24.024 --> 00:14:24.858
  • The second condition is you seek the lord.
  • 00:14:24.925 --> 00:14:26.159
  • Seek the lord. psalm 34:10.
  • 00:14:26.226 --> 00:14:27.294
  • Psalm 34:10. it says, "those who seek
  • 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.795
  • It says, "those who seek the lord shall not lack
  • 00:14:28.862 --> 00:14:30.063
  • The lord shall not lack any good thing."
  • 00:14:30.130 --> 00:14:31.965
  • Any good thing." so, there's no lack or want
  • 00:14:32.032 --> 00:14:33.199
  • So, there's no lack or want for those who fear him,
  • 00:14:33.266 --> 00:14:34.200
  • For those who fear him, and those who seek him
  • 00:14:34.267 --> 00:14:35.702
  • And those who seek him shall not lack any good thing.
  • 00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:38.538
  • Shall not lack any good thing. what does it mean
  • 00:14:38.605 --> 00:14:39.339
  • What does it mean to seek the lord?
  • 00:14:39.406 --> 00:14:40.040
  • To seek the lord? it means that you
  • 00:14:40.106 --> 00:14:41.141
  • It means that you constantly inquire.
  • 00:14:41.207 --> 00:14:42.409
  • Constantly inquire. that you put him first.
  • 00:14:42.475 --> 00:14:44.444
  • That you put him first. that you depend upon
  • 00:14:44.511 --> 00:14:45.512
  • That you depend upon his council and his advice,
  • 00:14:45.578 --> 00:14:47.247
  • His council and his advice, and you do what he says before
  • 00:14:47.314 --> 00:14:49.582
  • And you do what he says before you do what somebody else says.
  • 00:14:49.649 --> 00:14:53.086
  • You do what somebody else says. and then, the third condition is
  • 00:14:53.153 --> 00:14:54.688
  • And then, the third condition is that you walk uprightly.
  • 00:14:54.754 --> 00:14:57.891
  • That you walk uprightly. psalm 84:11, it says,
  • 00:14:57.958 --> 00:14:59.526
  • Psalm 84:11, it says, "no good thing will
  • 00:14:59.592 --> 00:15:01.127
  • "no good thing will he withhold from those
  • 00:15:01.194 --> 00:15:02.896
  • He withhold from those who walk uprightly."
  • 00:15:02.963 --> 00:15:06.199
  • Who walk uprightly." no lack or want
  • 00:15:06.266 --> 00:15:07.701
  • No lack or want for those who fear,
  • 00:15:07.767 --> 00:15:09.436
  • For those who fear, no good thing does he withhold
  • 00:15:09.502 --> 00:15:10.904
  • No good thing does he withhold from those who inquire
  • 00:15:10.971 --> 00:15:13.907
  • From those who inquire and seek him,
  • 00:15:13.974 --> 00:15:15.475
  • And seek him, and no good thing does
  • 00:15:15.542 --> 00:15:16.443
  • And no good thing does he withhold from those
  • 00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:17.477
  • He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
  • 00:15:17.544 --> 00:15:19.846
  • Who walk uprightly. walking uprightly
  • 00:15:19.913 --> 00:15:21.014
  • Walking uprightly means sincerely,
  • 00:15:21.081 --> 00:15:22.916
  • Means sincerely, with the right motivation.
  • 00:15:22.983 --> 00:15:25.318
  • With the right motivation. you don't pretend like
  • 00:15:25.385 --> 00:15:26.886
  • You don't pretend like you're walking for god
  • 00:15:26.953 --> 00:15:28.254
  • You're walking for god or living for god,
  • 00:15:28.321 --> 00:15:29.222
  • Or living for god, you actually live for god.
  • 00:15:29.289 --> 00:15:32.792
  • You actually live for god. galatians 6 tells us
  • 00:15:32.859 --> 00:15:34.294
  • Galatians 6 tells us very clearly,
  • 00:15:34.361 --> 00:15:34.761
  • Very clearly, there's no way to fake it
  • 00:15:34.828 --> 00:15:36.329
  • There's no way to fake it until you make it because
  • 00:15:36.396 --> 00:15:38.865
  • Until you make it because god is not mocked.
  • 00:15:38.932 --> 00:15:41.101
  • God is not mocked. he knows who fears him
  • 00:15:41.167 --> 00:15:43.169
  • He knows who fears him and he knows who acts
  • 00:15:43.236 --> 00:15:43.970
  • And he knows who acts like they fear him.
  • 00:15:44.037 --> 00:15:45.605
  • Like they fear him. he knows who seeks him
  • 00:15:45.672 --> 00:15:47.207
  • He knows who seeks him and he knows who doesn't.
  • 00:15:47.273 --> 00:15:49.209
  • And he knows who doesn't. he knows who walks uprightly,
  • 00:15:49.275 --> 00:15:51.077
  • He knows who walks uprightly, and he knows those who are
  • 00:15:51.144 --> 00:15:52.078
  • And he knows those who are playing pretend.
  • 00:15:52.145 --> 00:15:53.847
  • Playing pretend. but when you
  • 00:15:53.913 --> 00:15:54.614
  • But when you meet the conditions,
  • 00:15:54.681 --> 00:15:55.548
  • Meet the conditions, he has promised
  • 00:15:55.615 --> 00:15:56.316
  • He has promised no good thing will
  • 00:15:56.383 --> 00:15:57.650
  • No good thing will he withhold from those who
  • 00:15:57.717 --> 00:16:00.053
  • He withhold from those who diligently seek him.
  • 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.956
  • Diligently seek him. no good thing.
  • 00:16:03.023 --> 00:16:05.291
  • No good thing. and what god knows
  • 00:16:05.358 --> 00:16:06.026
  • And what god knows is whether or not the thing
  • 00:16:06.092 --> 00:16:07.227
  • Is whether or not the thing that you seek is good for now
  • 00:16:07.293 --> 00:16:09.462
  • That you seek is good for now or good forever.
  • 00:16:09.529 --> 00:16:11.998
  • Or good forever. we don't really have the ability
  • 00:16:12.065 --> 00:16:13.433
  • We don't really have the ability to know good from bad.
  • 00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:15.301
  • To know good from bad. we know what we think
  • 00:16:15.368 --> 00:16:16.569
  • We know what we think is good and we know
  • 00:16:16.636 --> 00:16:18.204
  • Is good and we know what we think is bad.
  • 00:16:18.271 --> 00:16:20.774
  • What we think is bad. but only god is sovereign,
  • 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:21.841
  • But only god is sovereign, he knows what you don't,
  • 00:16:21.908 --> 00:16:24.177
  • He knows what you don't, he sees what you don't see,
  • 00:16:24.244 --> 00:16:25.478
  • He sees what you don't see, he can do what you don't --
  • 00:16:25.545 --> 00:16:27.113
  • He can do what you don't -- what you can't do,
  • 00:16:27.180 --> 00:16:27.914
  • What you can't do, which is why you fear him,
  • 00:16:27.981 --> 00:16:29.516
  • Which is why you fear him, seek him, and walk uprightly
  • 00:16:29.582 --> 00:16:31.484
  • Seek him, and walk uprightly before him because if he has
  • 00:16:31.551 --> 00:16:33.453
  • Before him because if he has the ability to see it,
  • 00:16:33.520 --> 00:16:34.621
  • The ability to see it, know it, and do it,
  • 00:16:34.687 --> 00:16:35.889
  • Know it, and do it, you should follow him.
  • 00:16:35.955 --> 00:16:38.258
  • You should follow him. so, let's talk about
  • 00:16:38.324 --> 00:16:40.260
  • So, let's talk about temporary good.
  • 00:16:40.326 --> 00:16:42.295
  • Temporary good. the red sea parting,
  • 00:16:42.362 --> 00:16:44.397
  • The red sea parting, temporarily good.
  • 00:16:44.464 --> 00:16:46.800
  • Temporarily good. if god would've left it open
  • 00:16:46.866 --> 00:16:49.035
  • If god would've left it open and not just let moses
  • 00:16:49.102 --> 00:16:50.103
  • And not just let moses and the children of israel
  • 00:16:50.170 --> 00:16:51.171
  • And the children of israel through but let egypt through,
  • 00:16:51.237 --> 00:16:52.739
  • Through but let egypt through, it would've been bad.
  • 00:16:52.806 --> 00:16:54.707
  • It would've been bad. so, he opens up a good way,
  • 00:16:54.774 --> 00:16:57.477
  • So, he opens up a good way, and israel gets through,
  • 00:16:57.544 --> 00:16:58.912
  • And israel gets through, and then he closes it
  • 00:16:58.978 --> 00:16:59.946
  • And then he closes it and kills their enemies.
  • 00:17:00.013 --> 00:17:02.248
  • And kills their enemies. what they survived in,
  • 00:17:02.315 --> 00:17:03.483
  • What they survived in, he used to destroy those
  • 00:17:03.550 --> 00:17:05.285
  • He used to destroy those who were after them, why?
  • 00:17:05.351 --> 00:17:06.152
  • Who were after them, why? because he knows the difference
  • 00:17:06.219 --> 00:17:07.087
  • Because he knows the difference between good for now
  • 00:17:07.153 --> 00:17:08.254
  • Between good for now and good forever.
  • 00:17:08.321 --> 00:17:10.423
  • And good forever. manna, when they needed it
  • 00:17:10.490 --> 00:17:11.825
  • Manna, when they needed it in the wilderness,
  • 00:17:11.891 --> 00:17:12.625
  • In the wilderness, was it good for now
  • 00:17:12.692 --> 00:17:13.726
  • Was it good for now or was it good forever?
  • 00:17:13.793 --> 00:17:14.861
  • Or was it good forever? it was just good for the day.
  • 00:17:14.928 --> 00:17:16.963
  • It was just good for the day. it was good for now.
  • 00:17:17.030 --> 00:17:17.897
  • It was good for now. you had enough for the day,
  • 00:17:17.964 --> 00:17:19.232
  • You had enough for the day, and if you tried to keep it,
  • 00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:20.533
  • And if you tried to keep it, it was spoiled before
  • 00:17:20.600 --> 00:17:22.001
  • It was spoiled before the morning.
  • 00:17:22.068 --> 00:17:23.169
  • The morning. the cloud by day,
  • 00:17:23.236 --> 00:17:24.003
  • The cloud by day, the fire by night,
  • 00:17:24.070 --> 00:17:24.871
  • The fire by night, good for now
  • 00:17:24.938 --> 00:17:25.572
  • Good for now or good forever?
  • 00:17:25.638 --> 00:17:26.539
  • Or good forever? just good for then.
  • 00:17:26.606 --> 00:17:28.741
  • Just good for then. they needed it
  • 00:17:28.808 --> 00:17:29.476
  • They needed it to keep them warm,
  • 00:17:29.542 --> 00:17:30.243
  • To keep them warm, they needed it
  • 00:17:30.310 --> 00:17:30.977
  • They needed it to keep them cool,
  • 00:17:31.044 --> 00:17:31.778
  • To keep them cool, they needed it to direct them
  • 00:17:31.845 --> 00:17:32.879
  • They needed it to direct them across the wilderness
  • 00:17:32.946 --> 00:17:34.214
  • Across the wilderness until they got
  • 00:17:34.280 --> 00:17:35.482
  • Until they got to the promised land.
  • 00:17:35.548 --> 00:17:36.316
  • To the promised land. when they got to promised land,
  • 00:17:36.382 --> 00:17:37.717
  • When they got to promised land, no more manna, no more cloud,
  • 00:17:37.784 --> 00:17:39.719
  • No more manna, no more cloud, no more fire.
  • 00:17:39.786 --> 00:17:42.422
  • No more fire. now, as god's children,
  • 00:17:42.489 --> 00:17:45.391
  • Now, as god's children, some of the times
  • 00:17:45.458 --> 00:17:46.226
  • Some of the times when we see the good
  • 00:17:46.292 --> 00:17:47.794
  • When we see the good for now blessings go away,
  • 00:17:47.861 --> 00:17:49.496
  • For now blessings go away, do you know what we do?
  • 00:17:49.562 --> 00:17:50.396
  • Do you know what we do? we complain about how
  • 00:17:50.463 --> 00:17:51.664
  • We complain about how good it used to be.
  • 00:17:51.731 --> 00:17:54.701
  • Good it used to be. we're worried about
  • 00:17:54.767 --> 00:17:55.468
  • We're worried about what he took away
  • 00:17:55.535 --> 00:17:56.936
  • What he took away instead of looking forward
  • 00:17:57.003 --> 00:17:57.704
  • Instead of looking forward to what he's promised
  • 00:17:57.770 --> 00:17:58.671
  • To what he's promised he would do.
  • 00:17:58.738 --> 00:18:00.807
  • He would do. "oh, the manna was so good."
  • 00:18:00.874 --> 00:18:03.343
  • "oh, the manna was so good." he said, "you got a land
  • 00:18:03.409 --> 00:18:04.210
  • He said, "you got a land of milk and honey,
  • 00:18:04.277 --> 00:18:05.111
  • Of milk and honey, you don't need manna anymore.
