On the ten commandments with these three commandments.

With these three commandments. one, thou shall not steal.

One, thou shall not steal. two, you shall not

Three, you shall not covet. read with me the word of god
00:00:36.697 --> 00:00:38.699
Read with me the word of god that confirms this belief.
00:00:38.766 --> 00:00:42.369
That confirms this belief. "you shall not steal.
00:00:42.436 --> 00:00:44.905
"you shall not steal. you shall not bear false witness
00:00:44.972 --> 00:00:46.807

Nor his male servant, nor his female servant,

The lips of god himself. in jesus' name,

"amen." you may be seated.
00:01:40.761 --> 00:01:42.763
The ten commandments are
00:01:44.899 --> 00:01:46.200
The ten commandments are an expression of god's love.
00:01:46.267 --> 00:01:48.302
An expression of god's love. if you keep them,
00:01:48.369 --> 00:01:49.737

To open your eyes in a paradise that god has created
00:02:02.149 --> 00:02:03.884
That god has created for the righteous
00:02:03.951 --> 00:02:05.186
For the righteous with a beauty and majesty
00:02:05.252 --> 00:02:06.987
With a beauty and majesty your mind cannot fathom.
00:02:07.054 --> 00:02:09.523
Your mind cannot fathom. why am i teaching
00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:10.524
Why am i teaching these commandments
00:02:10.591 --> 00:02:11.759
These commandments to this congregation?
00:02:11.825 --> 00:02:13.394
To this congregation? because jesus,
00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:14.528
Because jesus, who is our example,
00:02:14.595 --> 00:02:16.497
Who is our example, who is our teacher, said,
00:02:16.564 --> 00:02:18.766
Who is our teacher, said, "whoever keeps and teaches
00:02:18.832 --> 00:02:20.167
"whoever keeps and teaches these commandments
00:02:20.234 --> 00:02:21.202
These commandments will be called great
00:02:21.268 --> 00:02:22.970
Will be called great in the kingdom of god."
00:02:23.037 --> 00:02:26.040
In the kingdom of god." there's not another verse
00:02:26.106 --> 00:02:27.174
There's not another verse like that in the bible.
00:02:27.241 --> 00:02:29.243
Like that in the bible. the ten commandments are not
00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:30.344
The ten commandments are not antiquated principles
00:02:30.411 --> 00:02:31.812
Antiquated principles for the past.
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:32.746
For the past. they are more contemporary
00:02:32.813 --> 00:02:35.082
They are more contemporary than the constitution
00:02:35.149 --> 00:02:36.350
Than the constitution of the united states.
00:02:36.417 --> 00:02:37.718
Of the united states. they are more relevant
00:02:37.785 --> 00:02:39.553
They are more relevant than today's newspaper.
00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:41.322
Than today's newspaper. the ten commandments
00:02:41.388 --> 00:02:42.323
The ten commandments are god's penicillin shot
00:02:42.389 --> 00:02:44.191
Are god's penicillin shot for the moral
00:02:44.258 --> 00:02:45.025
For the moral and political sickness
00:02:45.092 --> 00:02:47.027
And political sickness in the bloodstream of america.
00:02:47.094 --> 00:02:49.263
In the bloodstream of america. just take a snapshot
00:02:49.330 --> 00:02:50.264
Just take a snapshot of our country.
00:02:50.331 --> 00:02:51.865

Police are being shot in the streets,
00:03:02.176 --> 00:03:03.143
In the streets, while the cities of america
00:03:03.210 --> 00:03:04.812
While the cities of america have become a playground
00:03:04.878 --> 00:03:06.614
Have become a playground for criminals.
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:07.748
For criminals. we have a transgender sports

That is absolute insanity. that should never happen.
00:03:17.958 --> 00:03:18.959

This is not america the beautiful.
00:03:34.041 --> 00:03:35.542
America the beautiful. this is america that has grown
00:03:35.609 --> 00:03:37.611
This is america that has grown weak in the exposition of law.
00:03:37.678 --> 00:03:40.748
Weak in the exposition of law. the rich and the powerful

00:04:03.537 --> 00:04:05.773
America's present philosophy of absolute rights
00:04:05.839 --> 00:04:07.274
Of absolute rights of the individual.
00:04:07.341 --> 00:04:09.143

Thou shall not. thou shall not."
00:04:14.348 --> 00:04:16.517
Thou shall not." the point is,
00:04:16.583 --> 00:04:17.785
The point is, there are limits
00:04:17.851 --> 00:04:19.353
There are limits to human conduct.
00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:22.289

Have left our cities looking like a war zone.
00:06:22.242 --> 00:06:23.977
Looking like a war zone. our schools are killing fields
00:06:24.044 --> 00:06:26.113
Our schools are killing fields for madmen who have
00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:27.748
For madmen who have automatic rifles.
00:06:27.815 --> 00:06:29.349
Automatic rifles. the ten commandments shout
00:06:29.416 --> 00:06:31.118
The ten commandments shout there is no such thing
00:06:31.185 --> 00:06:32.286
There is no such thing as absolute right.
00:06:32.352 --> 00:06:34.288
As absolute right. there is no such thing
00:06:34.354 --> 00:06:35.556
There is no such thing as absolute freedom.
00:06:35.622 --> 00:06:37.825
As absolute freedom. your freedom stops
00:06:37.891 --> 00:06:39.193
Your freedom stops where my nose begins.
00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:42.095
Where my nose begins. if you want to know
00:06:42.162 --> 00:06:43.030

I can show you. the stars do not have it.
00:06:46.233 --> 00:06:47.568

He's hemmed in by other men. freedom is not the right
00:06:59.913 --> 00:07:00.914
Freedom is not the right to do as you wish,
00:07:00.981 --> 00:07:02.483
To do as you wish, it's the opportunity
00:07:02.549 --> 00:07:03.650
It's the opportunity to do as you ought.
00:07:03.717 --> 00:07:06.386

The ten commandments. the bible says, "the righteous
00:07:49.997 --> 00:07:51.765
The bible says, "the righteous are as bold as a lion,"

Are as bold as a lion," and we've forgotten that.
00:07:54.134 --> 00:07:55.502

We are the conquerors. we are the victors.

We are the victors. we should set the standards
00:08:04.878 --> 00:08:06.547
We should set the standards for what humanity does
00:08:06.613 --> 00:08:07.948
For what humanity does and does not do.

God owns it all from the very beginning.
00:08:24.898 --> 00:08:26.533
From the very beginning. he created it.
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:27.334
He created it. he made it.
00:08:27.401 --> 00:08:28.368
He made it. if you have it,
00:08:28.435 --> 00:08:29.469
If you have it, it's because god allowed you
00:08:29.536 --> 00:08:30.704
It's because god allowed you to have it.
00:08:30.771 --> 00:08:32.239

When god cuts you off, you will never prosper.

Consider the essence of stealing.
00:12:28.542 --> 00:12:29.309
Of stealing. everything that

Everything that god controls, gives.

'god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son."
00:12:33.246 --> 00:12:36.850
He gave his only begotten son." jesus gave his life at calvary

For every person in this auditorium and every person

Watching across america and the world.

And the world. theft is so pervasive
00:12:46.092 --> 00:12:48.061
Theft is so pervasive in america, we now
00:12:48.128 --> 00:12:49.596
In america, we now consider it normal.
00:12:49.663 --> 00:12:51.932
Consider it normal. a man said to his wife,
00:12:51.998 --> 00:12:53.733
A man said to his wife, "fire the maid.
00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:54.868

[laughter]
00:13:03.510 --> 00:13:06.580
Kinds of theft that christians
00:13:09.115 --> 00:13:10.684
Kinds of theft that christians regularly do without
00:13:10.750 --> 00:13:11.685
Regularly do without thinking about it.
00:13:11.751 --> 00:13:12.953
Thinking about it. there's employee theft.
00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:14.454
There's employee theft. that's a book.
00:13:14.521 --> 00:13:17.490
That's a book. the book is entitled,

The book is entitled, "the day america

Told the truth." one of the areas was almost

One half of america's workers confessed to calling in sick
00:13:25.699 --> 00:13:27.767
Confessed to calling in sick when they were not sick.
00:13:27.834 --> 00:13:30.036
When they were not sick. that is both lying
00:13:30.103 --> 00:13:31.872
That is both lying and theft combined.
00:13:31.938 --> 00:13:35.075
And theft combined. that's not slick,
00:13:35.141 --> 00:13:37.244
That's not slick, that's slimy in god's book.
00:13:37.310 --> 00:13:41.481
That's slimy in god's book. listen to ephesians 4:28.

Working with his hands that he might supply what he needs."
00:13:48.688 --> 00:13:51.391
He might supply what he needs." god blesses the person

God blesses the person who works with their hands.
00:13:52.893 --> 00:13:54.761
Who works with their hands. jesus christ of nazareth

Jesus christ of nazareth was a carpenter
00:13:56.763 --> 00:13:57.697
Was a carpenter who worked with his hands.
00:13:57.764 --> 00:13:59.232

Stealing from god. malachi 3:8-10.
00:14:14.547 --> 00:14:18.752
Malachi 3:8-10. let me read it.
00:14:18.818 --> 00:14:20.120
Let me read it. "will a man rob god?
00:14:20.186 --> 00:14:21.521
"will a man rob god? you have robbed me!
00:14:21.588 --> 00:14:22.856
You have robbed me! but you say, 'in what have we

But you say, 'in what have we done to rob you?'
00:14:24.524 --> 00:14:26.593
Done to rob you?' you have robbed me in

You have robbed me in the tithe and the offering.
00:14:27.661 --> 00:14:28.561
The tithe and the offering. you are cursed with a curse,
00:14:28.628 --> 00:14:30.196
You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed me,
00:14:30.263 --> 00:14:31.765
For you have robbed me, even this whole nation.

Even this whole nation. bringing all the tithes
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.668
Bringing all the tithes in the storehouse,
00:14:34.734 --> 00:14:35.702
In the storehouse, that there may be food
00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:36.970
That there may be food in my house,
00:14:37.037 --> 00:14:38.171
In my house, 'and try me,'
00:14:38.238 --> 00:14:38.905
'and try me,' saith the lord, 'and see
00:14:38.972 --> 00:14:40.540
Saith the lord, 'and see if i will not open the windows

It suddenly got quiet. why should i tithe?
00:14:52.786 --> 00:14:54.020
Why should i tithe? because god commands it.
00:14:54.087 --> 00:14:56.423
Because god commands it. why doesn't god say, "try it.
00:14:56.489 --> 00:14:57.857
Why doesn't god say, "try it. you'll like it."
00:14:57.924 --> 00:14:58.725
You'll like it." because you try
00:14:58.792 --> 00:14:59.526
Because you try spinach and cottage cheese,
00:14:59.592 --> 00:15:02.329
Spinach and cottage cheese, not what god says.
00:15:02.395 --> 00:15:04.230
Not what god says. it's a command.
00:15:04.297 --> 00:15:05.365
It's a command. "bring the tithes

Which is, today, the church. why?
00:15:09.869 --> 00:15:10.570
Why? because the tithe
00:15:10.637 --> 00:15:11.805
Because the tithe belongs to god.
00:15:11.871 --> 00:15:13.340
Belongs to god. he's the owner,
00:15:13.406 --> 00:15:14.641
He's the owner, you are the steward.

To god?" no, i don't, but god does.

Kitchen window is a buzzard. why should i tithe?
00:16:30.617 --> 00:16:32.786
Why should i tithe? because god controls

Because god controls all the wealth in the world.
00:16:34.421 --> 00:16:36.256
All the wealth in the world. it is the lord that gives you
00:16:36.322 --> 00:16:37.991

And he only gives to givers. why should i tithe?
00:17:08.521 --> 00:17:09.656
Why should i tithe? because you become a giver
00:17:09.722 --> 00:17:10.890
Because you become a giver and only givers qualify
00:17:10.957 --> 00:17:12.759
And only givers qualify for god's prosperity.
00:17:12.826 --> 00:17:14.894

Dew drops are pretty until the sun comes out
00:17:57.070 --> 00:17:58.972
Until the sun comes out and they disappear.

And they disappear. if you knew your house

00:18:11.584 --> 00:18:12.752
"heaven and earth shall pass away.
00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:14.854
Shall pass away. it shall be burned with fire."
00:18:14.921 --> 00:18:17.357
It shall be burned with fire." why should i tithe?
00:18:17.423 --> 00:18:19.092
Why should i tithe? because god says those
00:18:19.159 --> 00:18:20.260
Because god says those who do not are thieves.
00:18:20.326 --> 00:18:22.695
Who do not are thieves. i wouldn't dare
00:18:22.762 --> 00:18:23.963
I wouldn't dare call you a thief,
00:18:24.030 --> 00:18:25.398
Call you a thief, but god does right here.
00:18:25.465 --> 00:18:28.668
But god does right here. listen up in malachi 3:8,
00:18:28.735 --> 00:18:30.470
Listen up in malachi 3:8, "will a man rob god?
00:18:30.537 --> 00:18:31.504
"will a man rob god? you have robbed me.
00:18:31.571 --> 00:18:33.706
You have robbed me. but you say,
00:18:33.773 --> 00:18:34.307
But you say, 'where have we robbed you?'
00:18:34.374 --> 00:18:35.808
'where have we robbed you?' and god responds,
00:18:35.875 --> 00:18:36.442
And god responds, 'in tithe and offering.'"
00:18:36.509 --> 00:18:38.211
'in tithe and offering.'" god has your mug shot
00:18:38.278 --> 00:18:39.746
God has your mug shot on the most wanted list
00:18:39.812 --> 00:18:41.014
On the most wanted list in heaven.
00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:43.783
[laughing]
00:18:44.284 --> 00:18:45.485
Some of you --
00:18:45.852 --> 00:18:46.986
Some of you -- i wish you could see
00:18:47.053 --> 00:18:47.720
I wish you could see the faces i'm looking at.
00:18:47.787 --> 00:18:48.821
[laughter]
00:18:49.189 --> 00:18:49.889
Some of you came here today
00:18:50.456 --> 00:18:51.624
Some of you came here today in stolen cars.
00:18:51.691 --> 00:18:55.628
In stolen cars. maybe you're wearing
00:18:55.695 --> 00:18:56.462
Maybe you're wearing stolen jewelry.
00:18:56.529 --> 00:18:58.765
Stolen jewelry. you took god's money
00:18:58.831 --> 00:18:59.933
You took god's money and you bought those things.
00:18:59.999 --> 00:19:02.368
And you bought those things. why should i tithe?
00:19:02.435 --> 00:19:03.403
Why should i tithe? because god says you are cursed
00:19:03.469 --> 00:19:05.038
Because god says you are cursed with a curse when you don't.
00:19:05.104 --> 00:19:08.808
With a curse when you don't. no chance of prosperity
00:19:08.875 --> 00:19:10.276
No chance of prosperity for you, not ever.
00:19:10.343 --> 00:19:12.212
For you, not ever. you will work harder and harder
00:19:12.278 --> 00:19:14.080
You will work harder and harder and make less and less
00:19:14.147 --> 00:19:16.216
And make less and less because it will go through
00:19:16.282 --> 00:19:17.550
Because it will go through your fingers like sand.
00:19:17.617 --> 00:19:19.519
Your fingers like sand. why should i tithe?
00:19:19.586 --> 00:19:20.687
Why should i tithe? god says, "i will rebuke
00:19:20.753 --> 00:19:22.422
God says, "i will rebuke the devourer for your sake."
00:19:22.488 --> 00:19:23.823
The devourer for your sake." the devourer is satan.
00:19:23.890 --> 00:19:25.325
The devourer is satan. "i will rebuke
00:19:25.391 --> 00:19:26.526
"i will rebuke the prince of darkness
00:19:26.593 --> 00:19:27.694
The prince of darkness for your sake.
00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:28.828
For your sake. i will not allow satan
00:19:28.895 --> 00:19:30.730
I will not allow satan to destroy your income
00:19:30.797 --> 00:19:32.131
To destroy your income or your possessions."
00:19:32.198 --> 00:19:33.499
Or your possessions." god brings prosperity
00:19:33.566 --> 00:19:35.235
God brings prosperity to the righteous.
00:19:35.301 --> 00:19:36.970
To the righteous. how many of you would really
00:19:37.036 --> 00:19:38.338
How many of you would really like to prosper so much you
00:19:38.404 --> 00:19:40.840
Like to prosper so much you couldn't count it all?
00:19:40.907 --> 00:19:41.574
Couldn't count it all? let me see your hand.
00:19:41.641 --> 00:19:45.545
That's a possibility.
00:19:47.780 --> 00:19:49.949
That's a possibility. all you have to do
00:19:50.016 --> 00:19:50.650
All you have to do is go to work.
00:19:50.717 --> 00:19:51.751
[cheering and applause]
00:19:52.619 --> 00:20:00.994
The ninth commandment,
00:20:02.161 --> 00:20:03.096
The ninth commandment, "you shall not give
00:20:03.162 --> 00:20:04.397
"you shall not give false witness against
00:20:04.464 --> 00:20:05.465
False witness against your neighbor."
00:20:05.531 --> 00:20:06.466
Your neighbor." listen to this.
00:20:06.532 --> 00:20:08.067
Listen to this. this means two things,
00:20:08.134 --> 00:20:09.168
This means two things, do not lie when testifying
00:20:09.235 --> 00:20:11.170
Do not lie when testifying in court and do not lie, period.
00:20:11.237 --> 00:20:14.841
In court and do not lie, period. this is the bible
00:20:14.907 --> 00:20:15.441
This is the bible i'm telling you about.
00:20:15.508 --> 00:20:16.843
I'm telling you about. if people testify
00:20:16.909 --> 00:20:18.111
If people testify falsely in a courtroom,
00:20:18.177 --> 00:20:20.546
Falsely in a courtroom, there can be no justice.
00:20:20.613 --> 00:20:22.649
There can be no justice. and without the hope of justice,
00:20:22.715 --> 00:20:24.384
And without the hope of justice, there can be no civilization.
00:20:24.450 --> 00:20:28.087
There can be no civilization. the hebrew bible was
00:20:28.154 --> 00:20:29.188
The hebrew bible was so adamant on the subject
00:20:29.255 --> 00:20:30.957
So adamant on the subject that punishment imposed
00:20:31.024 --> 00:20:33.092
That punishment imposed on a witness who gave
00:20:33.159 --> 00:20:35.194
On a witness who gave false testimony was
00:20:35.261 --> 00:20:36.963
False testimony was the same punishment
00:20:37.030 --> 00:20:38.564
The same punishment that would have been
00:20:38.631 --> 00:20:39.432
That would have been meted out to the accused
00:20:39.499 --> 00:20:41.668
Meted out to the accused had the false testimony
00:20:41.734 --> 00:20:43.202
Had the false testimony been believed.
00:20:43.269 --> 00:20:45.972
Been believed. let's put that down
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:46.639
Let's put that down in just plain english.
00:20:46.706 --> 00:20:48.474
In just plain english. if you go to court
00:20:48.541 --> 00:20:49.976
If you go to court and you're the witness
00:20:50.043 --> 00:20:51.244
And you're the witness in a murder case
00:20:51.311 --> 00:20:52.312
In a murder case and you know something
00:20:52.378 --> 00:20:53.446
And you know something that conceals the truth
00:20:53.513 --> 00:20:54.947
That conceals the truth and you lie about it,
00:20:55.014 --> 00:20:57.250
And you lie about it, but that man is convicted
00:20:57.317 --> 00:20:59.118
But that man is convicted and he goes to jail for life,
00:20:59.185 --> 00:21:02.455
And he goes to jail for life, you go to jail for life also.
00:21:02.522 --> 00:21:05.458
You go to jail for life also. you get the same
00:21:05.525 --> 00:21:06.326
You get the same judgment he gets.
00:21:06.392 --> 00:21:08.828
Judgment he gets. you wanna talk about
00:21:08.895 --> 00:21:09.696
You wanna talk about something that would
00:21:09.762 --> 00:21:10.563
Something that would stop lying in court?
00:21:10.630 --> 00:21:12.498
Stop lying in court? boy, now there's a novel idea.
00:21:12.565 --> 00:21:14.834
Boy, now there's a novel idea. god's idea.
00:21:14.901 --> 00:21:16.169
God's idea. false witnesses
00:21:16.235 --> 00:21:17.203
False witnesses go to jail too.
00:21:17.270 --> 00:21:19.906
Go to jail too. ooh wee.
00:21:19.972 --> 00:21:23.343
Ooh wee. the tenth commandment,
00:21:23.409 --> 00:21:24.944
The tenth commandment, do not covet.
00:21:25.011 --> 00:21:25.912
Do not covet. listen closely.
00:21:25.978 --> 00:21:28.715
Listen closely. the tenth commandment
00:21:28.781 --> 00:21:29.582
The tenth commandment is the commandment that
00:21:29.649 --> 00:21:30.717
Is the commandment that prohibits the one thing
00:21:30.783 --> 00:21:32.151
Prohibits the one thing that leads to murder,
00:21:32.218 --> 00:21:33.820
That leads to murder, stealing, perjury
00:21:33.886 --> 00:21:35.288
Stealing, perjury and character assassination.
00:21:35.355 --> 00:21:37.156
And character assassination. the tenth commandment demands
00:21:37.223 --> 00:21:38.691
The tenth commandment demands you do not covet anything that
00:21:38.758 --> 00:21:40.893
You do not covet anything that belongs to other people.
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.396
Belongs to other people. not their spouse.
00:21:43.463 --> 00:21:45.965
Not their spouse. hubby, if you're flirting
00:21:46.032 --> 00:21:47.500
Hubby, if you're flirting with another man's wife,
00:21:47.567 --> 00:21:49.802
With another man's wife, knock it off.
00:21:49.869 --> 00:21:51.537
Knock it off. god almighty will
00:21:51.604 --> 00:21:52.972
God almighty will clean your clock.
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:54.841
Clean your clock. lady, if you're flirting
00:21:54.907 --> 00:21:56.709
Lady, if you're flirting with a man that's married
00:21:56.776 --> 00:21:58.711
With a man that's married to someone else, stop it.
00:21:58.778 --> 00:22:02.181
To someone else, stop it. you are going to take on
00:22:02.248 --> 00:22:04.517
You are going to take on god for an enemy.
00:22:04.584 --> 00:22:07.353
God for an enemy. covet anything that belongs
00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:08.955
Covet anything that belongs to other, their house,
00:22:09.021 --> 00:22:11.023
To other, their house, their servants, their animals,
00:22:11.090 --> 00:22:12.525
Their servants, their animals, their property, their money,
00:22:12.592 --> 00:22:14.327
Their property, their money, or their mercedes benz,
00:22:14.394 --> 00:22:16.596
Or their mercedes benz, god says no.
00:22:16.662 --> 00:22:21.834
[cheering and applause]
00:22:22.368 --> 00:22:29.609
Obviously, that's the reason
00:22:30.676 --> 00:22:31.878
Obviously, that's the reason people steal.
00:22:31.944 --> 00:22:32.945
People steal. thieves covet
00:22:33.012 --> 00:22:34.580
Thieves covet their victim's property.
00:22:34.647 --> 00:22:36.549
Their victim's property. it is also the reason
00:22:36.616 --> 00:22:37.784
It is also the reason for many murders.
00:22:37.850 --> 00:22:39.385
For many murders. we must understand
00:22:39.452 --> 00:22:40.353
We must understand that coveting means --
00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:41.954
That coveting means -- to covet is more than
00:22:42.021 --> 00:22:43.656
To covet is more than just "i want."
00:22:43.723 --> 00:22:45.725
Just "i want." the hebrew verb lachmod,
00:22:45.792 --> 00:22:49.128
The hebrew verb lachmod, lachmod means to want
00:22:49.195 --> 00:22:50.963
Lachmod means to want to the point of seeking
00:22:51.030 --> 00:22:52.632
To the point of seeking to take it away
00:22:52.698 --> 00:22:53.666
To take it away and own something that
00:22:53.733 --> 00:22:55.601
And own something that belongs to someone else.
00:22:55.668 --> 00:22:57.737
Belongs to someone else. the tenth commandment
00:22:57.804 --> 00:22:58.571
The tenth commandment makes whatever belongs
00:22:58.638 --> 00:22:59.772
Makes whatever belongs to another person off limits.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.141
To another person off limits. it's sacrosanct,
00:23:02.208 --> 00:23:03.943
It's sacrosanct, meaning it is sacred
00:23:04.010 --> 00:23:05.511
Meaning it is sacred because god gave it to them.
00:23:05.578 --> 00:23:08.648
Because god gave it to them. we cannot seek to own anything
00:23:08.714 --> 00:23:10.249
We cannot seek to own anything that belongs to another person
00:23:10.316 --> 00:23:12.051
That belongs to another person because only evil
00:23:12.118 --> 00:23:14.053
Because only evil can come from that.
00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:16.255
Can come from that. if you see something you want,
00:23:16.322 --> 00:23:19.091
If you see something you want, go to work until you have
00:23:19.158 --> 00:23:20.927
Go to work until you have the right to buy it
00:23:20.993 --> 00:23:23.029
The right to buy it by the sweat of your brow.
00:23:23.095 --> 00:23:24.363
[applause]
00:23:24.664 --> 00:23:30.036
Can we stand?
00:23:30.670 --> 00:23:32.572
Can we stand? can we stand?
00:23:32.638 --> 00:23:35.875
Heavenly father, we have now
00:23:39.745 --> 00:23:41.914
Heavenly father, we have now heard your ten commandments.
00:23:41.981 --> 00:23:44.884
Heard your ten commandments. now, give us the strength
00:23:44.951 --> 00:23:46.085
Now, give us the strength and the courage to live them.
00:23:46.152 --> 00:23:49.355
And the courage to live them. and if we should break them,
00:23:49.422 --> 00:23:51.757
And if we should break them, let us repent quickly,
00:23:51.824 --> 00:23:54.460
Let us repent quickly, lest the judgment
00:23:54.527 --> 00:23:55.161
Lest the judgment and the wrath of god
00:23:55.228 --> 00:23:56.529
And the wrath of god be poured upon us.
00:23:56.596 --> 00:23:59.232
Be poured upon us. let us repent quickly
00:23:59.298 --> 00:24:01.968
Let us repent quickly that god's prosperity may
00:24:02.034 --> 00:24:03.970
That god's prosperity may flood our lives to the capacity
00:24:04.036 --> 00:24:07.807
Flood our lives to the capacity that we cannot contain it.
00:24:07.874 --> 00:24:10.376
That we cannot contain it. let god arise and let
00:24:10.443 --> 00:24:11.878
Let god arise and let his enemies be scattered.
00:24:11.944 --> 00:24:13.913
His enemies be scattered. let this nation flourish
00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:16.649
Let this nation flourish because we have not abandoned
00:24:16.716 --> 00:24:18.518
Because we have not abandoned the god of our fathers.
00:24:18.584 --> 00:24:21.187
The god of our fathers. let the authority of god's word
00:24:21.254 --> 00:24:23.122
Let the authority of god's word prevail over
00:24:23.189 --> 00:24:25.191
Prevail over the weaknesses of men,
00:24:25.258 --> 00:24:27.593
The weaknesses of men, and let us live triumphant,
00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:29.662
And let us live triumphant, pure, holy, righteous lives
00:24:29.729 --> 00:24:33.099
Pure, holy, righteous lives that jesus christ himself
00:24:33.165 --> 00:24:34.534
That jesus christ himself will approve on
00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:36.202
Will approve on the day of our judgement.
00:24:36.269 --> 00:24:38.271
The day of our judgement. in the authority of jesus' name
00:24:38.337 --> 00:24:41.240
In the authority of jesus' name we pray and ask these things.
00:24:41.307 --> 00:24:43.409
We pray and ask these things. and all of god's children said,
00:24:43.476 --> 00:24:44.944
