- ♪ music ♪ pastor john hagee: "confidence"
- 00:00:14.108 --> 00:00:15.843
- Pastor john hagee: "confidence" are two words,
- 00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:17.411
- Are two words, "con" meaning "with"
- 00:00:17.478 --> 00:00:19.580
- "con" meaning "with" and "faido,"
- 00:00:19.647 --> 00:00:20.314
- And "faido," which means "faith,"
- 00:00:20.381 --> 00:00:21.582
- Which means "faith," which is living by faith.
- 00:00:21.649 --> 00:00:23.451
- Which is living by faith. that's what confidence is.
- 00:00:23.517 --> 00:00:25.453
- That's what confidence is. the bible says,
- 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:26.153
- The bible says, "without faith,
- 00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:27.488
- "without faith, it is impossible
- 00:00:27.555 --> 00:00:28.189
- It is impossible to please god."
- 00:00:28.255 --> 00:00:28.956
- To please god." say that with me.
- 00:00:29.023 --> 00:00:29.924
- Say that with me. "without faith,
- 00:00:29.990 --> 00:00:31.158
- "without faith, it is impossible
- 00:00:31.225 --> 00:00:32.059
- It is impossible to please god."
- 00:00:32.126 --> 00:00:33.260
- To please god." "faith is the victory,"
- 00:00:33.327 --> 00:00:34.562
- "faith is the victory," the bible says,
- 00:00:34.628 --> 00:00:35.362
- The bible says, "that overcomes the world."
- 00:00:35.429 --> 00:00:37.298
- "that overcomes the world." put those two verses together
- 00:00:37.364 --> 00:00:39.333
- Put those two verses together and you are guaranteed to be
- 00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:41.235
- And you are guaranteed to be victorious in every battle
- 00:00:41.302 --> 00:00:43.704
- Victorious in every battle you find yourself in life.
- 00:00:43.771 --> 00:00:45.940
- You find yourself in life. faith starts out
- 00:00:46.006 --> 00:00:47.708
- Faith starts out before you know how it's
- 00:00:47.775 --> 00:00:48.676
- Before you know how it's going to turn out.
- 00:00:48.742 --> 00:00:50.945
- Going to turn out. if you know the end
- 00:00:51.011 --> 00:00:51.846
- If you know the end from the beginning,
- 00:00:51.912 --> 00:00:53.047
- From the beginning, that's not faith;
- 00:00:53.114 --> 00:00:54.682
- That's not faith; that's just doing something.
- 00:00:54.748 --> 00:00:56.784
- That's just doing something. faith does not demand miracles.
- 00:00:56.851 --> 00:00:58.953
- Faith does not demand miracles. faith produces miracles.
- 00:00:59.019 --> 00:01:01.255
- Faith produces miracles. great faith is the product
- 00:01:01.322 --> 00:01:03.324
- Great faith is the product of great fights that are won
- 00:01:03.390 --> 00:01:05.626
- Of great fights that are won in the arena of life.
- 00:01:05.693 --> 00:01:07.695
- In the arena of life. the bible talks about
- 00:01:07.761 --> 00:01:08.796
- The bible talks about little faith and it talks
- 00:01:08.863 --> 00:01:10.097
- Little faith and it talks about great faith.
- 00:01:10.164 --> 00:01:11.899
- About great faith. how do you get from little
- 00:01:11.966 --> 00:01:13.000
- How do you get from little faith to great faith?
- 00:01:13.067 --> 00:01:14.902
- Faith to great faith? you get from little faith
- 00:01:14.969 --> 00:01:16.203
- You get from little faith to great faith by fighting
- 00:01:16.270 --> 00:01:18.205
- To great faith by fighting this fight,
- 00:01:18.272 --> 00:01:19.106
- This fight, and then another one
- 00:01:19.173 --> 00:01:20.207
- And then another one that's greater,
- 00:01:20.274 --> 00:01:21.208
- That's greater, and then another one
- 00:01:21.275 --> 00:01:22.309
- And then another one that's greater,
- 00:01:22.376 --> 00:01:23.277
- That's greater, and another one that's greater.
- 00:01:23.344 --> 00:01:24.778
- And another one that's greater. and they continuously increase
- 00:01:24.845 --> 00:01:27.014
- And they continuously increase in size until you are fighting
- 00:01:27.081 --> 00:01:29.216
- In size until you are fighting the giants.
- 00:01:29.283 --> 00:01:31.785
- The giants. that's what it is.
- 00:01:31.852 --> 00:01:32.553
- That's what it is. great faith is born
- 00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:34.355
- Great faith is born on the battlefield of life.
- 00:01:34.421 --> 00:01:36.524
- On the battlefield of life. sometimes when you're very
- 00:01:36.590 --> 00:01:38.192
- Sometimes when you're very existence is being threatened,
- 00:01:38.259 --> 00:01:40.861
- Existence is being threatened, great testimonies are
- 00:01:40.928 --> 00:01:42.029
- Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests.
- 00:01:42.096 --> 00:01:44.698
- The outcome of great tests. great triumphs can only come
- 00:01:44.765 --> 00:01:46.734
- Great triumphs can only come from great trials.
- 00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:48.702
- From great trials. every stumbling block can
- 00:01:48.769 --> 00:01:50.638
- Every stumbling block can become a steppingstone.
- 00:01:50.704 --> 00:01:53.207
- Become a steppingstone. every opposition can become
- 00:01:53.274 --> 00:01:55.609
- Every opposition can become an opportunity.
- 00:01:55.676 --> 00:01:57.244
- An opportunity. faith is not believing that god
- 00:01:57.311 --> 00:01:59.113
- Faith is not believing that god can do it.
- 00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:00.414
- Can do it. faith is believing
- 00:02:00.481 --> 00:02:01.348
- Faith is believing that god will do it,
- 00:02:01.415 --> 00:02:03.217
- That god will do it, and he will do it for you,
- 00:02:03.284 --> 00:02:05.152
- And he will do it for you, and will do it right.
- 00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:07.121
- And will do it right. that's what faith is.
- 00:02:07.188 --> 00:02:08.122
- That's what faith is. give the lord a hand.
- 00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:09.523
- Give the lord a hand. (applause)
- 00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:13.928
- (applause) there are 1,000 ways
- 00:02:13.994 --> 00:02:15.996
- There are 1,000 ways to please the lord,
- 00:02:16.063 --> 00:02:18.632
- To please the lord, but none of them will work
- 00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:20.401
- But none of them will work without faith.
- 00:02:20.467 --> 00:02:22.102
- Without faith. faith helps you walk
- 00:02:22.169 --> 00:02:23.437
- Faith helps you walk fearlessly,
- 00:02:23.504 --> 00:02:25.005
- Fearlessly, run confidently,
- 00:02:25.072 --> 00:02:26.874

- And live victoriously. all of that is recorded
- 00:02:29.076 --> 00:02:31.145
- All of that is recorded in this book.
- 00:02:31.212 --> 00:02:32.513
- In this book. god is not moved
- 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:33.781
- God is not moved by your emotions.
- 00:02:33.847 --> 00:02:35.482
- By your emotions. god is only moved
- 00:02:35.549 --> 00:02:36.850
- God is only moved by your faith.
- 00:02:36.917 --> 00:02:38.686
- By your faith. i have seen people pray
- 00:02:38.752 --> 00:02:40.387
- I have seen people pray emotionally,
- 00:02:40.454 --> 00:02:42.122
- Emotionally, "oh god, please, please."
- 00:02:42.189 --> 00:02:46.894
- "oh god, please, please." god has said here
- 00:02:46.961 --> 00:02:48.796
- God has said here he will do it.
- 00:02:48.862 --> 00:02:50.998
- He will do it. all you have to do is get out
- 00:02:51.065 --> 00:02:53.200
- All you have to do is get out of the emotional state and get
- 00:02:53.267 --> 00:02:55.569
- Of the emotional state and get in the faith dimension,
- 00:02:55.636 --> 00:02:57.404
- In the faith dimension, and say, "god, i thank you,
- 00:02:57.471 --> 00:02:59.139
- And say, "god, i thank you, you are doing it.
- 00:02:59.206 --> 00:03:00.641
- You are doing it. i may not see it
- 00:03:00.708 --> 00:03:01.809
- I may not see it with my natural eye,
- 00:03:01.875 --> 00:03:03.344
- With my natural eye, but i know it's going
- 00:03:03.410 --> 00:03:05.212

- (applause) confidence: faith
- 00:03:19.059 --> 00:03:21.228
- Confidence: faith is not inherited;
- 00:03:21.295 --> 00:03:21.962
- Is not inherited; it's developed.
- 00:03:22.029 --> 00:03:23.797
- It's developed. the bible says,
- 00:03:23.864 --> 00:03:24.331
- The bible says, "faith cometh by hearing,
- 00:03:24.398 --> 00:03:25.733
- "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word
- 00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:26.567
- And hearing by the word of god."
- 00:03:26.634 --> 00:03:28.869
- Of god." the word "cometh" is a greek
- 00:03:28.936 --> 00:03:30.738

- 00:03:30.804 --> 00:03:32.706
- Continuance verb, meaning faith is continuing
- 00:03:32.773 --> 00:03:34.975

- To grow in you, predicated on your obedience
- 00:03:36.977 --> 00:03:38.846
- Predicated on your obedience to the word of god.
- 00:03:38.912 --> 00:03:40.447
- To the word of god. when you hear the word of god
- 00:03:40.514 --> 00:03:41.949
- When you hear the word of god and you obey it,
- 00:03:42.016 --> 00:03:43.617
- And you obey it, you go from glory to glory.
- 00:03:43.684 --> 00:03:46.353
- You go from glory to glory. you grow from first grade
- 00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:48.088

- And now you are really fighting big battles.
- 00:03:57.131 --> 00:03:59.900
- Big battles. and you're not concerned
- 00:03:59.967 --> 00:04:02.136
- And you're not concerned because you and god have
- 00:04:02.202 --> 00:04:03.337
- Because you and god have a working relationship.
- 00:04:03.404 --> 00:04:05.406
- A working relationship. you are bound by your own
- 00:04:05.472 --> 00:04:08.642
- You are bound by your own self-imposed limitations.
- 00:04:08.709 --> 00:04:13.047
- Self-imposed limitations. i read the story

- And the ordination committee asked him; said,
- 00:04:22.623 --> 00:04:23.223
- Asked him; said, "do you know the bible
- 00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:24.124
- "do you know the bible well enough to preach it?"
- 00:04:24.191 --> 00:04:26.193
- Well enough to preach it?" he said, "well, yes, sir."
- 00:04:26.260 --> 00:04:27.928

- "well i've read the bible." so the denominational leader
- 00:04:34.568 --> 00:04:35.636
- So the denominational leader said,
- 00:04:35.703 --> 00:04:36.270
- Said, "well tell us what part
- 00:04:36.337 --> 00:04:36.970
- "well tell us what part of the bible you know best."
- 00:04:37.037 --> 00:04:37.905
- Of the bible you know best." he said,
- 00:04:37.971 --> 00:04:38.472
- He said, "well i know the book
- 00:04:38.539 --> 00:04:39.740

- From this platform. (laughter)
- 00:04:56.357 --> 00:04:58.225

- And he said, "i will arise."
- 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:14.274
- "i will arise." and he arose
- 00:05:14.341 --> 00:05:15.109
