  • 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
  • Run confidently, and live victoriously.
  • 00:02:26.941 --> 00:02:29.009
  • 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
  • But i know it's going to happen.
  • 00:03:05.279 --> 00:03:06.146
  • To happen. and i'm standing on the faith
  • 00:03:06.213 --> 00:03:08.082

  • It will happen!" make that happen!
  • 00:03:11.385 --> 00:03:12.653
  • Make that happen! give the lord praise

  • Give the lord praise in the house!
  • 00:03:13.454 --> 00:03:14.888
  • In the house! (applause)
  • 00:03:14.955 --> 00:03:18.993
  • (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
  • The word "cometh" is a greek continuance verb,
  • 00:03:30.804 --> 00:03:32.706
  • Continuance verb, meaning faith is continuing
  • 00:03:32.773 --> 00:03:34.975
  • Meaning faith is continuing to grow in you,
  • 00:03:35.042 --> 00:03:36.910
  • 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
  • You grow from first grade to second grade,
  • 00:03:48.155 --> 00:03:49.123
  • To second grade, to third grade faith,
  • 00:03:49.189 --> 00:03:50.991
  • To third grade faith, to middle school,
  • 00:03:51.058 --> 00:03:52.126
  • To middle school, to high school,
  • 00:03:52.192 --> 00:03:53.460
  • To high school, to graduate school.
  • 00:03:53.527 --> 00:03:55.296
  • To graduate school. and now you are really fighting
  • 00:03:55.362 --> 00:03:57.064
  • 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
  • 00:04:13.113 --> 00:04:13.747
  • I read the story of a georgia sharecropper,
  • 00:04:13.814 --> 00:04:15.749
  • Of a georgia sharecropper, who presented himself
  • 00:04:15.816 --> 00:04:16.617
  • Who presented himself to his denominational leaders
  • 00:04:16.684 --> 00:04:19.119
  • To his denominational leaders to be ordained as a pastor.
  • 00:04:19.186 --> 00:04:21.422
  • To be ordained as a pastor. and the ordination committee
  • 00:04:21.488 --> 00:04:22.556
  • 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
  • He said, "well, yes, sir." he said,
  • 00:04:27.995 --> 00:04:28.562
  • He said, "but well you're

  • "but well you're a sharecropper farmer.
  • 00:04:29.363 --> 00:04:30.898
  • A sharecropper farmer. you have no training."
  • 00:04:30.964 --> 00:04:32.166
  • You have no training." he said,
  • 00:04:32.232 --> 00:04:32.700
  • He said, "well i've read the bible."
  • 00:04:32.766 --> 00:04:34.501
  • "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

  • "what?" "the book of the parables?"
  • 00:04:42.743 --> 00:04:44.144
  • "the book of the parables?" there's no such thing,
  • 00:04:44.211 --> 00:04:44.778
  • There's no such thing, of course,
  • 00:04:44.845 --> 00:04:45.746
  • Of course, for those of you who are
  • 00:04:45.813 --> 00:04:46.613
