Pastor matt hagee: the currency
00:00:13.873 --> 00:00:14.441
Pastor matt hagee: the currency of the kingdom is love,
00:00:14.507 --> 00:00:17.043
Of the kingdom is love, and faith and hope are how
00:00:17.110 --> 00:00:18.912
And faith and hope are how you access that currency.
00:00:18.978 --> 00:00:22.715
You access that currency. whenever you read
00:00:22.782 --> 00:00:23.249
Whenever you read in the word of god
00:00:23.316 --> 00:00:25.452
In the word of god faith, hope, and love,
00:00:25.518 --> 00:00:26.753
Faith, hope, and love, they're always working together.
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:29.923
They're always working together. and it works together so that
00:00:29.989 --> 00:00:32.225
And it works together so that you will have the opportunity
00:00:32.292 --> 00:00:33.793
You will have the opportunity to operate according
00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:35.595
To operate according to what the bible says
00:00:35.662 --> 00:00:36.996
To what the bible says you can operate in this life.
00:00:37.063 --> 00:00:40.166
You can operate in this life. what good is the power of god
00:00:40.233 --> 00:00:41.768
What good is the power of god if you have no place
00:00:41.835 --> 00:00:42.836
If you have no place or way to access it?
00:00:42.902 --> 00:00:45.238
Or way to access it? most of the time
00:00:45.305 --> 00:00:46.039
Most of the time when people start to talk
00:00:46.106 --> 00:00:46.840
When people start to talk about god's promises
00:00:46.906 --> 00:00:47.874
About god's promises and god's power
00:00:47.941 --> 00:00:48.808
And god's power and they don't
00:00:48.875 --> 00:00:49.309
And they don't receive them in their life,
00:00:49.375 --> 00:00:51.311
Receive them in their life, they don't say that
00:00:51.377 --> 00:00:52.312
They don't say that it's something they're doing,
00:00:52.378 --> 00:00:53.513
It's something they're doing, they just say it's something
00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:54.681
They just say it's something that god didn't want me to have.
00:00:54.747 --> 00:00:57.250
That god didn't want me to have. but you can't read
00:00:57.317 --> 00:00:57.784
But you can't read the word of god
00:00:57.851 --> 00:00:58.451
The word of god and come to that conclusion.
00:00:58.518 --> 00:01:00.019
And come to that conclusion. just take one section
00:01:00.086 --> 00:01:01.121
Just take one section of scripture from romans 8.
00:01:01.187 --> 00:01:04.090
Of scripture from romans 8. paul asks a very important
00:01:04.157 --> 00:01:05.792
Paul asks a very important question in that chapter.
00:01:05.859 --> 00:01:07.293
Question in that chapter. he says, "what shall we
00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:08.795
He says, "what shall we say of these things?
00:01:08.862 --> 00:01:10.930
Say of these things? since god did not
00:01:10.997 --> 00:01:12.432
Since god did not spare his own son,
00:01:12.499 --> 00:01:14.467
Spare his own son, how will he not with him
00:01:14.534 --> 00:01:16.369
How will he not with him freely give us all things?"
00:01:16.436 --> 00:01:19.038
Freely give us all things?" paul is saying to us
00:01:19.105 --> 00:01:20.273
Paul is saying to us that god loves us so much
00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:22.609
That god loves us so much and has already given his son,
00:01:22.675 --> 00:01:24.544
And has already given his son, how would he withhold
00:01:24.611 --> 00:01:26.079
How would he withhold anything from us?
00:01:26.146 --> 00:01:28.648
Anything from us? so, the bible tells us
00:01:28.715 --> 00:01:29.282
So, the bible tells us very clearly that god
00:01:29.349 --> 00:01:30.583
Very clearly that god wants to desperately
00:01:30.650 --> 00:01:32.218
Wants to desperately give you the things
00:01:32.285 --> 00:01:33.419
Give you the things that you want to have him
00:01:33.486 --> 00:01:34.954
That you want to have him do in your life,
00:01:35.021 --> 00:01:36.890
Do in your life, but you need to know
00:01:36.956 --> 00:01:37.490
But you need to know how to access it.
00:01:37.557 --> 00:01:39.359
How to access it. paul is so emphatic
00:01:39.425 --> 00:01:40.493
Paul is so emphatic about this point.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:41.060
About this point. he says, "just look at what
00:01:41.127 --> 00:01:42.162
He says, "just look at what he's already done.
00:01:42.228 --> 00:01:42.929
He's already done. he already loved us so much,
00:01:42.996 --> 00:01:45.031
He already loved us so much, he gave us jesus.
00:01:45.098 --> 00:01:46.065
He gave us jesus. and jesus loved us so much
00:01:46.132 --> 00:01:47.934
And jesus loved us so much that he gave his life.
00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:49.536
That he gave his life. how will he not freely
00:01:49.602 --> 00:01:51.638
How will he not freely with him give us all things?"
00:01:51.704 --> 00:01:54.674
With him give us all things?" and then he brings it
00:01:54.741 --> 00:01:55.708
And then he brings it to a crescendo when he says,
00:01:55.775 --> 00:01:57.177
To a crescendo when he says, "if god be for us,
00:01:57.243 --> 00:01:59.612
"if god be for us, who can be against us?"
00:01:59.679 --> 00:02:02.148
Who can be against us?" church, that's something that
00:02:02.215 --> 00:02:03.483
Church, that's something that you should say to yourself
00:02:03.550 --> 00:02:05.351
You should say to yourself on a daily basis.
00:02:05.418 --> 00:02:06.619
On a daily basis. before you brush your teeth,
00:02:06.686 --> 00:02:08.555
Before you brush your teeth, look in the mirror and say,
00:02:08.621 --> 00:02:10.323
Look in the mirror and say, "if god be for me,
00:02:10.390 --> 00:02:12.025
"if god be for me, who can be against me?"
00:02:12.091 --> 00:02:14.093
Who can be against me?" and then, think about
00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:14.894
And then, think about what that means.
00:02:14.961 --> 00:02:15.828
What that means. god, the creator
00:02:15.895 --> 00:02:17.063
God, the creator of heaven and earth,
00:02:17.130 --> 00:02:18.298
Of heaven and earth, if he's for you,
00:02:18.364 --> 00:02:19.799
If he's for you, then no weapon formed
00:02:19.866 --> 00:02:20.967
Then no weapon formed against you would prosper.
00:02:21.034 --> 00:02:22.602
Against you would prosper. god, a refuge and a strength
00:02:22.669 --> 00:02:24.804
God, a refuge and a strength and an ever-present help
00:02:24.871 --> 00:02:26.005
And an ever-present help in a time of trouble,
00:02:26.072 --> 00:02:27.207
In a time of trouble, because he's on your side,
00:02:27.273 --> 00:02:28.975
Because he's on your side, no weapon, no enemy,
00:02:29.042 --> 00:02:30.910
No weapon, no enemy, no accuser, no army
00:02:30.977 --> 00:02:32.845
No accuser, no army can come against you.
00:02:32.912 --> 00:02:33.913
Can come against you. god, the lord your healer.
00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:36.282
God, the lord your healer. god, jehovah shammah.
00:02:36.349 --> 00:02:38.318
God, jehovah shammah. god the one who promised
00:02:38.384 --> 00:02:40.253
God the one who promised to always be your supply.
00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:42.222
To always be your supply. if he's on your side,
00:02:42.288 --> 00:02:43.690
If he's on your side, no plague shall come
00:02:43.756 --> 00:02:45.024
No plague shall come near your dwelling,
00:02:45.091 --> 00:02:45.959
Near your dwelling, no need shall overtake you.
00:02:46.025 --> 00:02:48.027
No need shall overtake you. because el shaddai,
00:02:48.094 --> 00:02:49.195
Because el shaddai, the all sufficient one will
00:02:49.262 --> 00:02:51.130
The all sufficient one will supply all of your needs.
00:02:51.197 --> 00:02:52.832
Supply all of your needs. the question is not,
00:02:52.899 --> 00:02:54.334
The question is not, is god the creator
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:55.568
Is god the creator of heaven and earth?
00:02:55.635 --> 00:02:56.502
Of heaven and earth? is god, the mighty god
00:02:56.569 --> 00:02:58.438
Is god, the mighty god almighty and supreme,
00:02:58.504 --> 00:03:00.006
Almighty and supreme, is god for us?
00:03:00.073 --> 00:03:02.175
Is god for us? does god love us?
00:03:02.242 --> 00:03:03.176
Does god love us? that's not the question.
00:03:03.243 --> 00:03:04.410
That's not the question. he proved it when
00:03:04.477 --> 00:03:05.612
He proved it when he gave jesus christ.
00:03:05.678 --> 00:03:07.347
He gave jesus christ. and this morning he wants you
00:03:07.413 --> 00:03:08.848
And this morning he wants you to know he's on your side.
00:03:08.915 --> 00:03:11.184
[applause]
00:03:11.584 --> 00:03:17.924
So, since he's given us
00:03:18.358 --> 00:03:19.259
So, since he's given us christ to prove his love,
00:03:19.325 --> 00:03:21.194
Christ to prove his love, and christ has given himself
00:03:21.261 --> 00:03:22.762
And christ has given himself to make his power
00:03:22.829 --> 00:03:24.063
To make his power and his promises
00:03:24.130 --> 00:03:24.831
And his promises real in our life,
00:03:24.897 --> 00:03:25.632
Real in our life, how do we access it?
00:03:25.698 --> 00:03:28.701
How do we access it? in the kingdom of god,
00:03:28.768 --> 00:03:29.869
In the kingdom of god, there is an account
00:03:29.936 --> 00:03:31.004
There is an account with your name on it
00:03:31.070 --> 00:03:32.605
With your name on it and there's provision
00:03:32.672 --> 00:03:33.473
And there's provision and there's healing
00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:34.540
And there's healing and there's miracle power
00:03:34.607 --> 00:03:36.075
And there's miracle power and there's all of these things
00:03:36.142 --> 00:03:37.343
And there's all of these things in heavenly places.
00:03:37.410 --> 00:03:38.311
In heavenly places. how do you get to it?
00:03:38.378 --> 00:03:41.481
How do you get to it? here on this earth, you have
00:03:41.547 --> 00:03:42.715
Here on this earth, you have your money in a bank, hopefully.
00:03:42.782 --> 00:03:45.051
Your money in a bank, hopefully. some of you may have it
00:03:45.118 --> 00:03:45.852
Some of you may have it in your mattress.
00:03:45.918 --> 00:03:47.086
In your mattress. don't raise your hand,
00:03:47.153 --> 00:03:48.821
Don't raise your hand, they'll follow you home.
00:03:48.888 --> 00:03:50.290
[laughter]
00:03:50.690 --> 00:03:51.391
But wherever you keep
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:53.660
But wherever you keep your currency on this earth,
00:03:53.726 --> 00:03:55.128

You have to know how to access it in order
00:03:55.995 --> 00:03:57.163

For it to benefit you. if you have it in a bank and you
00:03:59.198 --> 00:04:00.833
If you have it in a bank and you want to access that account,
00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:03.069
Want to access that account, you probably have to have
00:04:03.136 --> 00:04:04.103
You probably have to have two forms of id,
00:04:04.170 --> 00:04:05.238
Two forms of id, an eight to eighteen
00:04:05.305 --> 00:04:06.406

And the house that you grew up in with

Grew up in with the color of the door.
00:04:18.051 --> 00:04:19.152
[laughter]
00:04:19.652 --> 00:04:21.187
[applause]
00:04:21.788 --> 00:04:23.356
Just to keep your money safe,
00:04:23.890 --> 00:04:26.025
Just to keep your money safe, they make it hard for you
00:04:26.092 --> 00:04:27.026
They make it hard for you to get to it.
00:04:27.093 --> 00:04:28.161
[laughter]
00:04:28.561 --> 00:04:29.295
But wherever that currency is,

But wherever that currency is, you have to be able
00:04:32.999 --> 00:04:33.700
You have to be able to utilize access
00:04:33.766 --> 00:04:35.068
To utilize access to that account before
00:04:35.134 --> 00:04:36.436
To that account before it can benefit you.
00:04:36.502 --> 00:04:38.338
It can benefit you. well, faith, according to what
00:04:38.404 --> 00:04:40.039
Well, faith, according to what the word of god says,
00:04:40.106 --> 00:04:41.607
The word of god says, is how you access the account
00:04:41.674 --> 00:04:43.976
Is how you access the account in your heavenly places.
00:04:44.043 --> 00:04:45.945
In your heavenly places. you can't get anything
00:04:46.012 --> 00:04:46.946
You can't get anything from god without faith.
00:04:47.013 --> 00:04:49.716
From god without faith. this is what
00:04:49.782 --> 00:04:50.149
This is what the writer of hebrews is saying.
00:04:50.216 --> 00:04:52.285
The writer of hebrews is saying. he's quoting the prophet of old,
00:04:52.352 --> 00:04:54.754
He's quoting the prophet of old, and he gives the word that
00:04:54.821 --> 00:04:56.489
And he gives the word that the lord gave to the prophet.
00:04:56.556 --> 00:04:58.391
The lord gave to the prophet. and it starts in verse 38,
00:04:58.458 --> 00:05:00.226
And it starts in verse 38, "the just shall live," how?
00:05:00.293 --> 00:05:03.096
"the just shall live," how? "by faith."
00:05:03.162 --> 00:05:04.897
"by faith." and then, the lord says,
00:05:04.964 --> 00:05:07.200
And then, the lord says, "if anyone draws back
00:05:07.266 --> 00:05:08.801
"if anyone draws back from faith, god has
00:05:08.868 --> 00:05:10.870
From faith, god has no pleasure in him."
00:05:10.937 --> 00:05:12.505
No pleasure in him." if anyone chooses
00:05:12.572 --> 00:05:13.740
If anyone chooses to believe in god
00:05:13.806 --> 00:05:15.108
To believe in god and then start to doubt god,
00:05:15.174 --> 00:05:16.509
And then start to doubt god, god does not have
00:05:16.576 --> 00:05:17.410
God does not have any pleasure in that.
00:05:17.477 --> 00:05:20.446
Any pleasure in that. and then, it says,
00:05:20.513 --> 00:05:21.013
And then, it says, "but we are not of those
00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:22.048
"but we are not of those who draw back,
00:05:22.115 --> 00:05:22.815
Who draw back, but we are of those
00:05:22.882 --> 00:05:23.816
But we are of those who believe to
00:05:23.883 --> 00:05:24.884
Who believe to the saving of our soul."
00:05:24.951 --> 00:05:26.018
The saving of our soul." and then, in the next chapter,
00:05:26.085 --> 00:05:28.721
And then, in the next chapter, "faith is the substance
00:05:28.788 --> 00:05:29.956
"faith is the substance of things hoped for
00:05:30.022 --> 00:05:31.190
Of things hoped for and the evidence
00:05:31.257 --> 00:05:32.158
And the evidence of things not yet seen."
00:05:32.225 --> 00:05:34.460
Of things not yet seen." how do you receive
00:05:34.527 --> 00:05:35.061
How do you receive god's promises in your life?
00:05:35.128 --> 00:05:36.963
God's promises in your life? faith.
00:05:37.029 --> 00:05:38.331
Faith. you don't beg
00:05:38.398 --> 00:05:38.965
You don't beg for god's promises.
00:05:39.031 --> 00:05:40.800
For god's promises. some people think that that's
00:05:40.867 --> 00:05:41.768
Some people think that that's how you get a request in heaven.
00:05:41.834 --> 00:05:43.269
How you get a request in heaven. the bible doesn't say,
00:05:43.336 --> 00:05:44.137
The bible doesn't say, "come before his gates
00:05:44.203 --> 00:05:45.071
"come before his gates with begging."
00:05:45.138 --> 00:05:46.005
With begging." it says, "come before his gates
00:05:46.072 --> 00:05:47.206
It says, "come before his gates with thanksgiving
00:05:47.273 --> 00:05:47.974
With thanksgiving and with praise."
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.942
And with praise." you don't barter
00:05:50.009 --> 00:05:50.977
You don't barter into god's promises.
00:05:51.043 --> 00:05:51.878
Into god's promises. some people like to
00:05:51.944 --> 00:05:52.745
Some people like to barter with god.
00:05:52.812 --> 00:05:53.613
Barter with god. "god, if you do this,
00:05:53.679 --> 00:05:54.614
"god, if you do this, i'll do that."
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:55.181
I'll do that." have you ever seen somebody
00:05:55.248 --> 00:05:56.215
Have you ever seen somebody pray one of those prayers?
00:05:56.282 --> 00:05:58.985
Pray one of those prayers? "help me with this
00:05:59.051 --> 00:05:59.552
"help me with this and i'll serve you in africa."
00:05:59.619 --> 00:06:01.954
And i'll serve you in africa." if everybody who prayed
00:06:02.021 --> 00:06:02.922
If everybody who prayed that prayer actually
00:06:02.989 --> 00:06:04.257
That prayer actually kept their promise,
00:06:04.323 --> 00:06:05.224
Kept their promise, we wouldn't need anybody
00:06:05.291 --> 00:06:06.626
We wouldn't need anybody to go to africa.
00:06:06.692 --> 00:06:09.195
To go to africa. you don't barter with god,
00:06:09.262 --> 00:06:10.296
You don't barter with god, you don't beg god
00:06:10.363 --> 00:06:11.964
You don't beg god and you don't borrow
00:06:12.031 --> 00:06:13.633
And you don't borrow faith from others.
00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:17.203
Faith from others. oftentimes, people want you
00:06:17.270 --> 00:06:19.071
Oftentimes, people want you to use your faith
00:06:19.138 --> 00:06:20.273
To use your faith to believe for them.
00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:21.307
To believe for them. there's a problem with that.
00:06:21.374 --> 00:06:22.408
There's a problem with that. god didn't say,
00:06:22.475 --> 00:06:23.910
God didn't say, "let bubba believe for you."
00:06:23.976 --> 00:06:25.411
"let bubba believe for you." you can work together
00:06:25.478 --> 00:06:26.546
You can work together in intercession,
00:06:26.612 --> 00:06:27.713
In intercession, but you have to
00:06:27.780 --> 00:06:28.414
But you have to believe for yourself.
00:06:28.481 --> 00:06:31.284
Believe for yourself. that's why hebrews 11:6 says,
00:06:31.350 --> 00:06:32.952
That's why hebrews 11:6 says, "without faith
00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:34.153
"without faith it is impossible,"
00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:35.488
It is impossible," say that with me.
00:06:35.555 --> 00:06:36.389
Say that with me. "without faith,
00:06:36.456 --> 00:06:37.590
"without faith, it is impossible
00:06:37.657 --> 00:06:39.792
It is impossible to please him."
00:06:39.859 --> 00:06:40.426
To please him." who's him?
00:06:40.493 --> 00:06:41.194
Who's him? god.
00:06:41.260 --> 00:06:41.761
Everything that you receive,
00:06:42.862 --> 00:06:43.896
Everything that you receive, everything that you access
00:06:43.963 --> 00:06:45.264
Everything that you access in heavenly places,
00:06:45.331 --> 00:06:46.332
In heavenly places, everything that god
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.467
Everything that god wants to exchange with you,
00:06:47.533 --> 00:06:49.469
Wants to exchange with you, every promise that
00:06:49.535 --> 00:06:50.503
Every promise that he has for you,
00:06:50.570 --> 00:06:51.904
He has for you, you get it by faith.
00:06:51.971 --> 00:06:54.640
You get it by faith. faith is how you
00:06:54.707 --> 00:06:55.374
Faith is how you protect your life from
00:06:55.441 --> 00:06:57.210
Protect your life from the attack of the enemy.
00:06:57.276 --> 00:06:59.412
The attack of the enemy. in ephesians 6:16,
00:06:59.479 --> 00:07:01.781
In ephesians 6:16, you read about
00:07:01.848 --> 00:07:02.615
You read about the whole armor of god
00:07:02.682 --> 00:07:03.916
The whole armor of god and it says, "and take up
00:07:03.983 --> 00:07:05.551
And it says, "and take up the shield of faith."
00:07:05.618 --> 00:07:07.753
The shield of faith." what is the shield of faith
00:07:07.820 --> 00:07:08.921
What is the shield of faith able to do?
00:07:08.988 --> 00:07:10.056
Able to do? according to scripture,
00:07:10.122 --> 00:07:10.890
According to scripture, it is able to quench
00:07:10.957 --> 00:07:12.124
It is able to quench all the fiery darts.
00:07:12.191 --> 00:07:13.993
All the fiery darts. how many of the fiery darts?
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:15.761
How many of the fiery darts? all.
00:07:15.828 --> 00:07:17.997
All. now, what is this
00:07:18.064 --> 00:07:18.564
Now, what is this fiery dart issue?
00:07:18.631 --> 00:07:21.801
Fiery dart issue? in ancient warfare,
00:07:21.868 --> 00:07:23.402
In ancient warfare, armies used to wrap
00:07:23.469 --> 00:07:24.904
Armies used to wrap their arrows with cloth
00:07:24.971 --> 00:07:26.606
Their arrows with cloth and then set them
00:07:26.672 --> 00:07:27.340
And then set them on fire and shoot them
00:07:27.406 --> 00:07:28.708
On fire and shoot them into the enemy camp.
00:07:28.774 --> 00:07:31.043
Into the enemy camp. why?
00:07:31.110 --> 00:07:32.345
Why? because if the enemy was
00:07:32.411 --> 00:07:33.646
Because if the enemy was distracted fighting a fire,
00:07:33.713 --> 00:07:35.548
Distracted fighting a fire, then they wouldn't be able
00:07:35.615 --> 00:07:36.549
Then they wouldn't be able to focus on the fight.
00:07:36.616 --> 00:07:39.485
To focus on the fight. so, when the enemy
00:07:39.552 --> 00:07:40.119
So, when the enemy uses a fiery dart,
00:07:40.186 --> 00:07:41.320
Uses a fiery dart, when satan uses a fiery dart,
00:07:41.387 --> 00:07:43.422
When satan uses a fiery dart, he's wanting to distract you
00:07:43.489 --> 00:07:45.057
He's wanting to distract you from your purpose.
00:07:45.124 --> 00:07:46.025
So, what happens in your life
00:07:47.827 --> 00:07:51.464
So, what happens in your life when the enemy wants
00:07:51.531 --> 00:07:52.798
When the enemy wants to shoot fiery darts at you,
00:07:52.865 --> 00:07:54.267
To shoot fiery darts at you, when he wants to distract you,
00:07:54.333 --> 00:07:55.868
When he wants to distract you, when he wants to take you
00:07:55.935 --> 00:07:56.869
When he wants to take you off of the focus that
00:07:56.936 --> 00:07:58.471
Off of the focus that you're supposed to have?
00:07:58.538 --> 00:07:59.472
You're supposed to have? you have a shield,
00:07:59.539 --> 00:08:01.307
You have a shield, the bible says of what?
00:08:01.374 --> 00:08:03.342
The bible says of what? "faith."
00:08:03.409 --> 00:08:03.776
"faith." say it with me,
00:08:03.843 --> 00:08:04.710
Say it with me, "a shield of faith."
00:08:04.777 --> 00:08:07.647
"a shield of faith." now, where does that
00:08:07.713 --> 00:08:08.114
Now, where does that shield come from?
00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:08.981
Shield come from? faith comes by hearing
00:08:09.048 --> 00:08:10.616
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god.
00:08:10.683 --> 00:08:13.185
And hearing by the word of god. so, here comes the distraction
00:08:13.252 --> 00:08:14.654
So, here comes the distraction from the enemy.
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:15.588
From the enemy. he wants to distract you
00:08:15.655 --> 00:08:16.956
He wants to distract you by throwing accusations at you
00:08:17.023 --> 00:08:19.058
By throwing accusations at you and telling you you're not
00:08:19.125 --> 00:08:20.159
And telling you you're not worthy of god's love.
00:08:20.226 --> 00:08:21.294
Worthy of god's love. he wants to tell you that
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:22.562
He wants to tell you that your past is too painful,
00:08:22.628 --> 00:08:24.564
Your past is too painful, or your past is too stained
00:08:24.630 --> 00:08:26.232
Or your past is too stained for you to be able to receive
00:08:26.299 --> 00:08:27.733
For you to be able to receive god's goodness and his mercy.
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.101
God's goodness and his mercy. and here's what
00:08:29.168 --> 00:08:29.902
And here's what the shield of faith says,
00:08:29.969 --> 00:08:30.970
The shield of faith says, "though your sins were
00:08:31.037 --> 00:08:32.305
"though your sins were as scarlet, because of jesus,
00:08:32.371 --> 00:08:33.973
As scarlet, because of jesus, they're now white as snow."
00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:35.241
They're now white as snow." romans 8:1 says that,
00:08:35.308 --> 00:08:37.777
Romans 8:1 says that, "there is now therefore
00:08:37.843 --> 00:08:38.811
"there is now therefore no condemnation unto those
00:08:38.878 --> 00:08:41.047
No condemnation unto those who are in christ jesus."
00:08:41.113 --> 00:08:42.348
Who are in christ jesus." so, he shoots
00:08:42.415 --> 00:08:43.015
So, he shoots a fiery dart of fear.
00:08:43.082 --> 00:08:44.483
A fiery dart of fear. he wants you to be
00:08:44.550 --> 00:08:45.318
He wants you to be afraid of the economy.
00:08:45.384 --> 00:08:46.485
Afraid of the economy. he wants you to be
00:08:46.552 --> 00:08:47.053
He wants you to be afraid of this world.
00:08:47.119 --> 00:08:48.254
Afraid of this world. he wants you to be
00:08:48.321 --> 00:08:48.988
He wants you to be afraid of the future.
00:08:49.055 --> 00:08:50.222
Afraid of the future. he wants you to be afraid
00:08:50.289 --> 00:08:51.057
He wants you to be afraid of what the doctor's gonna say
00:08:51.123 --> 00:08:52.758
Of what the doctor's gonna say when the test results come in.
00:08:52.825 --> 00:08:53.993
When the test results come in. listen to what psalms 34 says.
00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:56.329
Listen to what psalms 34 says. it doesn't matter what he
00:08:56.395 --> 00:08:57.463
It doesn't matter what he wants you to be afraid of
00:08:57.530 --> 00:08:58.464
Wants you to be afraid of because psalms 34 says,
00:08:58.531 --> 00:08:59.966
Because psalms 34 says, "i sought the lord
00:09:00.032 --> 00:09:01.000
"i sought the lord and he heard me
00:09:01.067 --> 00:09:02.535
And he heard me and he delivered me
00:09:02.602 --> 00:09:03.469
And he delivered me from all of my fears."
00:09:03.536 --> 00:09:05.304
From all of my fears." i don't have to fear
00:09:05.371 --> 00:09:06.639
I don't have to fear a storm because my god
00:09:06.706 --> 00:09:08.574
A storm because my god is the master of the wind.
00:09:08.641 --> 00:09:09.875
Is the master of the wind. i don't have to fear failure
00:09:09.942 --> 00:09:11.477
I don't have to fear failure because i can do
00:09:11.544 --> 00:09:12.979
Because i can do all things through christ.
00:09:13.045 --> 00:09:13.980
All things through christ. i don't have to have
00:09:14.046 --> 00:09:15.014
I don't have to have any kind of lack or need
00:09:15.081 --> 00:09:16.716
Any kind of lack or need because god has promised
00:09:16.782 --> 00:09:18.217
Because god has promised he would open up
00:09:18.284 --> 00:09:18.951
He would open up the windows of heaven
00:09:19.018 --> 00:09:20.019
The windows of heaven and he would pour out
00:09:20.086 --> 00:09:20.953
And he would pour out upon me blessings
00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:21.954
Upon me blessings that i cannot contain.
00:09:22.021 --> 00:09:23.189
That i cannot contain. where does those

Promises come from? from my shield of faith
00:09:25.091 --> 00:09:26.626

It's forgotten, it's under the blood,
00:09:49.015 --> 00:09:50.149

Surrounded in darkness,

Call the number on screen

Or go to jhm.org/light
00:11:01.153 --> 00:11:07.093
Faith is real.
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.928
Faith is real. it's a substance.
00:11:08.994 --> 00:11:10.863
It's a substance. it's not figurative.
00:11:10.930 --> 00:11:12.498
It's not figurative. and the bible tells us
00:11:12.565 --> 00:11:13.499
And the bible tells us in hebrews 11 that,
00:11:13.566 --> 00:11:14.734
In hebrews 11 that, "faith is the substance
00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:15.568
"faith is the substance of things hoped for,
00:11:15.634 --> 00:11:16.502
Of things hoped for, the evidence,"
00:11:16.569 --> 00:11:18.037
The evidence," say that word with me,
00:11:18.104 --> 00:11:19.138
Say that word with me, "the evidence
00:11:19.205 --> 00:11:21.140
"the evidence of things not seen."
00:11:21.207 --> 00:11:23.809
Of things not seen." evidence are the clues.
00:11:23.876 --> 00:11:27.113
Evidence are the clues. when you go into a court
00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:29.515
When you go into a court and the jury is supposed
00:11:29.582 --> 00:11:30.516
And the jury is supposed to come to a conviction,
00:11:30.583 --> 00:11:33.853
To come to a conviction, a decision,
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.354
A decision, the judge wants the jury
00:11:35.421 --> 00:11:36.789
The judge wants the jury to make the decision beyond
00:11:36.856 --> 00:11:38.090
To make the decision beyond a reasonable what?
00:11:38.157 --> 00:11:39.959
A reasonable what? doubt.
00:11:40.025 --> 00:11:41.827
Doubt. and they're asking
00:11:41.894 --> 00:11:42.695
And they're asking for this conviction,
00:11:42.762 --> 00:11:43.562
For this conviction, and they present what?
00:11:43.629 --> 00:11:45.831
And they present what? evidence.
00:11:45.898 --> 00:11:47.633
Evidence. the investigator sits on
00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:48.734
The investigator sits on the witness stand and he says,
00:11:48.801 --> 00:11:50.169
The witness stand and he says, "here are the details
00:11:50.236 --> 00:11:51.036
"here are the details and here are the clues
00:11:51.103 --> 00:11:52.104
And here are the clues and here's what
00:11:52.171 --> 00:11:52.972
And here's what we've discovered and here's
00:11:53.038 --> 00:11:53.672
We've discovered and here's what we found out."
00:11:53.739 --> 00:11:54.640
What we found out." and then, they take
00:11:54.707 --> 00:11:55.274
And then, they take all of that information,
00:11:55.341 --> 00:11:56.342
All of that information, and they combine
00:11:56.408 --> 00:11:57.476
And they combine all of that evidence,
00:11:57.543 --> 00:11:58.811
All of that evidence, and they come
00:11:58.878 --> 00:11:59.378
And they come to the conclusion which
00:11:59.445 --> 00:12:00.379
To the conclusion which is called a conviction.
00:12:00.446 --> 00:12:01.814
Is called a conviction. what does it mean for you
00:12:01.881 --> 00:12:02.615
What does it mean for you to live with conviction
00:12:02.681 --> 00:12:03.716
To live with conviction in your life?
00:12:03.783 --> 00:12:05.584
In your life? it means that you've looked
00:12:05.651 --> 00:12:06.352
It means that you've looked at all of the evidence
00:12:06.418 --> 00:12:07.453
At all of the evidence that you can find,
00:12:07.520 --> 00:12:08.754
That you can find, and you've taken
00:12:08.821 --> 00:12:09.155
And you've taken all of that data
00:12:09.221 --> 00:12:10.356
All of that data and all of those details,
00:12:10.422 --> 00:12:11.490
And all of those details, and you've compiled it up
00:12:11.557 --> 00:12:13.058
And you've compiled it up and you've come
00:12:13.125 --> 00:12:13.959
And you've come to the conclusion
00:12:14.026 --> 00:12:14.760
To the conclusion that beyond a shadow
00:12:14.827 --> 00:12:15.728
That beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt,
00:12:15.795 --> 00:12:16.695
Of a reasonable doubt, this word is true,
00:12:16.762 --> 00:12:18.264
This word is true, and god is alive.
00:12:18.330 --> 00:12:19.265
The author of hebrews 11 says,
00:12:21.467 --> 00:12:23.335
The author of hebrews 11 says, "allow me to give you
00:12:23.402 --> 00:12:24.336
"allow me to give you the evidence that these guys
00:12:24.403 --> 00:12:25.571
The evidence that these guys used before you got here."
00:12:25.638 --> 00:12:27.740
Used before you got here." and the first thing that he uses
00:12:27.807 --> 00:12:29.275
And the first thing that he uses as evidence is the world.
00:12:29.341 --> 00:12:31.010
As evidence is the world. hebrews 11:3, he says,
00:12:31.076 --> 00:12:32.545
Hebrews 11:3, he says, "by faith we understand
00:12:32.611 --> 00:12:35.214
"by faith we understand that the world that
00:12:35.281 --> 00:12:36.048
That the world that we see around us was formed
00:12:36.115 --> 00:12:37.817
We see around us was formed by the unseen hand of god."
00:12:37.883 --> 00:12:41.220
By the unseen hand of god." he's basically saying,
00:12:41.287 --> 00:12:42.254
He's basically saying, "how can you look at
00:12:42.321 --> 00:12:43.389
"how can you look at the sun, the moon, the stars,
00:12:43.455 --> 00:12:44.557
The sun, the moon, the stars, the trees, the leaves,
00:12:44.623 --> 00:12:45.591
The trees, the leaves, the grass, the fields,
00:12:45.658 --> 00:12:46.625
The grass, the fields, the mountains,
00:12:46.692 --> 00:12:48.160
The mountains, all of these things,
00:12:48.227 --> 00:12:48.961
All of these things, and for a moment not think
00:12:49.028 --> 00:12:51.063
And for a moment not think that there is a god?"
00:12:51.130 --> 00:12:53.799
That there is a god?" he's basically saying,
00:12:53.866 --> 00:12:54.567
He's basically saying, "anybody who can see all of that
00:12:54.633 --> 00:12:55.868
"anybody who can see all of that and deny god is dumb."
00:12:55.935 --> 00:12:59.338
And deny god is dumb." at least that's how
00:12:59.405 --> 00:12:59.839
At least that's how it's read in my version.
00:12:59.905 --> 00:13:02.308
It's read in my version. and then, he starts
00:13:02.374 --> 00:13:03.075
And then, he starts talking about individuals.
00:13:03.142 --> 00:13:05.077
Talking about individuals. that, "by faith abel,
00:13:05.144 --> 00:13:07.847
That, "by faith abel, and by faith enoch,
00:13:07.913 --> 00:13:09.181
And by faith enoch, and by faith noah,
00:13:09.248 --> 00:13:10.449
And by faith noah, and by faith abraham,
00:13:10.516 --> 00:13:11.951
And by faith abraham, and by faith sarah."
00:13:12.017 --> 00:13:13.485
And by faith sarah." they didn't all live
00:13:13.552 --> 00:13:14.620
They didn't all live perfect and flawless lives,
00:13:14.687 --> 00:13:15.921
Perfect and flawless lives, but they all lived with faith.
00:13:15.988 --> 00:13:18.757
But they all lived with faith. abel offered a more acceptable
00:13:18.824 --> 00:13:20.326
Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice to a god that
00:13:20.392 --> 00:13:21.760
Sacrifice to a god that he had never seen.
00:13:21.827 --> 00:13:23.028
He had never seen. enoch lived so faithfully
00:13:23.095 --> 00:13:24.730
Enoch lived so faithfully for god and believed so strongly
00:13:24.797 --> 00:13:26.732
For god and believed so strongly in a god that he was only told
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.434
In a god that he was only told about that one day god said,
00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:30.169
About that one day god said, "hey enoch, you're too
00:13:30.236 --> 00:13:31.303
"hey enoch, you're too valuable to me up here.
00:13:31.370 --> 00:13:32.938
Valuable to me up here. why don't you just come up
00:13:33.005 --> 00:13:34.073
Why don't you just come up and spend the rest
00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:34.740
And spend the rest of eternity with me?"
00:13:34.807 --> 00:13:35.441
Noah spent 150 years
00:13:36.876 --> 00:13:39.211
Noah spent 150 years building a boat by faith.
00:13:39.278 --> 00:13:42.248
Building a boat by faith. he'd never heard of rain,
00:13:42.314 --> 00:13:43.282
He'd never heard of rain, he'd never seen a flood.
00:13:43.349 --> 00:13:45.050
He'd never seen a flood. he built the boat
00:13:45.117 --> 00:13:46.085
He built the boat in the mountains.
00:13:46.151 --> 00:13:48.420
In the mountains. you don't have to be
00:13:48.487 --> 00:13:49.088
You don't have to be an aquatic engineer to know
00:13:49.154 --> 00:13:50.322
An aquatic engineer to know that's the wrong place
00:13:50.389 --> 00:13:51.323
That's the wrong place to build a boat.
00:13:51.390 --> 00:13:53.192
To build a boat. but he did it by faith
00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:54.260
But he did it by faith and he saved his whole family.
00:13:54.326 --> 00:13:56.428
And he saved his whole family. abraham dwelt in
00:13:56.495 --> 00:13:57.162
Abraham dwelt in a land of promise,
00:13:57.229 --> 00:13:58.163
A land of promise, believing for a city whose
00:13:58.230 --> 00:13:59.565
Believing for a city whose builder and maker was god.
00:13:59.632 --> 00:14:00.799
Builder and maker was god. sarah, by faith received
00:14:00.866 --> 00:14:02.401
Sarah, by faith received strength in her womb
00:14:02.468 --> 00:14:03.569
Strength in her womb after it was dead,
00:14:03.636 --> 00:14:04.870
After it was dead, and she was in her nineties,
00:14:04.937 --> 00:14:05.971
And she was in her nineties, and she bore a child.
00:14:06.038 --> 00:14:07.306
And she bore a child. and god by faith gave
00:14:07.373 --> 00:14:09.174
And god by faith gave to sarah and abraham,
00:14:09.241 --> 00:14:10.376
To sarah and abraham, a genealogy that's now numbered
00:14:10.442 --> 00:14:12.578
A genealogy that's now numbered like the stars of the sky
00:14:12.645 --> 00:14:13.579
Like the stars of the sky and the sands of the sea.
00:14:13.646 --> 00:14:16.015
And the sands of the sea. the writer of hebrews
00:14:16.081 --> 00:14:16.715
The writer of hebrews is giving us all
00:14:16.782 --> 00:14:17.516
Is giving us all of this evidence and he says
00:14:17.583 --> 00:14:18.517
Of this evidence and he says "they lived and they died
00:14:18.584 --> 00:14:20.486
"they lived and they died in faith."
00:14:20.552 --> 00:14:21.553
In faith." and then, in verse 16,
00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:22.788
And then, in verse 16, he says something that
00:14:22.855 --> 00:14:23.522
He says something that should grip your heart
00:14:23.589 --> 00:14:24.556
Should grip your heart when you hear it.
00:14:24.623 --> 00:14:25.324
When you hear it. it says, "because they lived
00:14:25.391 --> 00:14:27.059
It says, "because they lived and they died in faith,
00:14:27.126 --> 00:14:28.827
And they died in faith, god was not ashamed
00:14:28.894 --> 00:14:30.262
God was not ashamed to be called their god."
00:14:30.329 --> 00:14:33.565
To be called their god." think about that.
00:14:33.632 --> 00:14:36.335
Think about that. god wasn't ashamed
00:14:36.402 --> 00:14:37.569
God wasn't ashamed to be called their god.
00:14:37.636 --> 00:14:40.306
To be called their god. he looked over
00:14:40.372 --> 00:14:40.873
He looked over the balconies of heaven
00:14:40.940 --> 00:14:41.774
The balconies of heaven and he said,
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.308
And he said, "that one's mine."
00:14:42.374 --> 00:14:45.744
"that one's mine." are you living
00:14:45.811 --> 00:14:46.178
Are you living in that kind of faith?
00:14:46.245 --> 00:14:48.347
In that kind of faith? are you living
00:14:48.414 --> 00:14:48.847
Are you living in the kind of faith
00:14:48.914 --> 00:14:49.848
In the kind of faith that when god looks at you,
00:14:49.915 --> 00:14:50.649
That when god looks at you, he says,
00:14:50.716 --> 00:14:51.483
He says, "that one belongs to me.
00:14:51.550 --> 00:14:53.686
"that one belongs to me. i'm not ashamed of that one."
00:14:53.752 --> 00:14:56.789
I'm not ashamed of that one." or are you living
00:14:56.855 --> 00:14:57.289
Or are you living the kind of life that when
00:14:57.356 --> 00:14:57.990
The kind of life that when you get outta bed,
00:14:58.057 --> 00:14:58.557
You get outta bed, god goes, "uh-oh."
00:14:58.624 --> 00:15:03.796
God goes, "uh-oh." he goes on life after life,
00:15:03.862 --> 00:15:05.898
He goes on life after life, line after line,
00:15:05.965 --> 00:15:07.132
Line after line, testimony after testimony,
00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:08.834
Testimony after testimony, abraham, isaac, jacob, joseph,

00:15:16.041 --> 00:15:17.309
He says, "there's so much evidence in so many lives
00:15:17.376 --> 00:15:19.044
Evidence in so many lives that time would fail me.
00:15:19.111 --> 00:15:20.479
That time would fail me. and all of these,
00:15:20.546 --> 00:15:21.580
And all of these, they received a good testimony.
00:15:21.647 --> 00:15:23.482
They received a good testimony. how did they do it?
00:15:23.549 --> 00:15:24.883
How did they do it? they did it by faith."
00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:29.722
They did it by faith." he's made such a case,
00:15:29.788 --> 00:15:30.622
He's made such a case, he's presented so much
00:15:30.689 --> 00:15:31.757
He's presented so much evidence that he says,
00:15:31.824 --> 00:15:32.725
Evidence that he says, "it's time for us
00:15:32.791 --> 00:15:33.826
"it's time for us to come to a verdict."
00:15:33.892 --> 00:15:34.827
To come to a verdict." has god shown us enough
00:15:34.893 --> 00:15:36.662
Has god shown us enough of who he is that beyond
00:15:36.729 --> 00:15:38.931
Of who he is that beyond a reasonable doubt we can
00:15:38.998 --> 00:15:40.299
A reasonable doubt we can live a life of conviction?
00:15:40.366 --> 00:15:42.267
Live a life of conviction? has god given us
00:15:42.334 --> 00:15:44.003
Has god given us enough evidence that we can
00:15:44.069 --> 00:15:44.970
Enough evidence that we can draw the conclusion based on
00:15:45.037 --> 00:15:46.939

00:15:47.006 --> 00:15:48.107
This case that he is a faithful god from
00:15:48.173 --> 00:15:49.174
A faithful god from generation to generation?
00:15:49.241 --> 00:15:50.642
Generation to generation? if all of those heroes
00:15:50.709 --> 00:15:51.977
If all of those heroes of the faith could
00:15:52.044 --> 00:15:53.012
Of the faith could live and die with just
00:15:53.078 --> 00:15:54.313

Are here after jesus, how much more should we
00:15:58.584 --> 00:15:59.618
How much more should we be convinced?
00:15:59.685 --> 00:16:00.419
Be convinced? how much more
00:16:00.486 --> 00:16:01.487
How much more should we be convicted?
00:16:01.553 --> 00:16:02.621
Should we be convicted? how much more should
00:16:02.688 --> 00:16:03.622
How much more should we be willing to live
00:16:03.689 --> 00:16:04.790
We be willing to live this life of faith?
00:16:04.857 --> 00:16:08.460
This life of faith? in verse 39, he says,
00:16:08.527 --> 00:16:09.762
In verse 39, he says, "they all lived and died
00:16:09.828 --> 00:16:11.163
"they all lived and died believing in a promise
00:16:11.230 --> 00:16:13.198
Believing in a promise but not receiving it."
00:16:13.265 --> 00:16:14.633
But not receiving it." church, they believed in it
00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:16.235
Church, they believed in it and didn't receive it.
00:16:16.301 --> 00:16:17.403
And didn't receive it. we have received it.

Was going to be a source of salvation.
00:16:34.053 --> 00:16:35.320
A source of salvation. abraham believed in genesis 22
00:16:35.387 --> 00:16:38.157
Abraham believed in genesis 22 that the ram that was caught
00:16:38.223 --> 00:16:39.091
That the ram that was caught in a thicket was a symbol
00:16:39.158 --> 00:16:40.692
In a thicket was a symbol and a type and a shadow
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:41.627
And a type and a shadow of the spotless lamb
00:16:41.693 --> 00:16:42.895
Of the spotless lamb who would come later
00:16:42.961 --> 00:16:43.962
Who would come later and die on a place
00:16:44.029 --> 00:16:45.197
And die on a place called calvary.
00:16:45.264 --> 00:16:46.165

You get glimpses of jesus until it's like paul said
00:16:53.839 --> 00:16:55.207
Until it's like paul said in galatians 4,
00:16:55.274 --> 00:16:56.241
In galatians 4, "in the fullness of time
00:16:56.308 --> 00:16:57.609
"in the fullness of time he brought forth
00:16:57.676 --> 00:16:58.644

In the law could be redeemed." he brought him forth

And we beheld his glory. he brought him forth
00:17:07.586 --> 00:17:08.587
He brought him forth and he was the one
00:17:08.654 --> 00:17:09.855
And he was the one who fulfilled every prophecy
00:17:09.922 --> 00:17:11.390
Who fulfilled every prophecy right down to the line
00:17:11.457 --> 00:17:12.724
Right down to the line and to the letter.
00:17:12.791 --> 00:17:13.826
And to the letter. christ in his earthly life
00:17:13.892 --> 00:17:15.494

That redemption would require. and when he died and rose again,
00:17:19.064 --> 00:17:20.999
And when he died and rose again, it calls him in hebrews,

It calls him in hebrews, the author and the finisher
00:17:23.168 --> 00:17:25.204
The author and the finisher of our faith.
00:17:25.270 --> 00:17:26.839
Of our faith. if that's not enough evidence,
00:17:26.905 --> 00:17:29.241
If that's not enough evidence, may i encourage you to go find

Go find the restored and let them

His name is jesus. jesus the lamb

[cheering and applause]
00:18:32.237 --> 00:18:40.212
And you think it's unreasonable
00:18:40.712 --> 00:18:44.183
And you think it's unreasonable to believe in that after all
00:18:44.249 --> 00:18:47.252
To believe in that after all that he's shown you?
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.522
That he's shown you? "well, i need my senses."
00:18:50.589 --> 00:18:52.124
"well, i need my senses." oh, trust me, you can touch,
00:18:52.191 --> 00:18:53.725
Oh, trust me, you can touch, you can taste, you can smell,
00:18:53.792 --> 00:18:55.460
You can taste, you can smell, you can feel jesus.
00:18:55.527 --> 00:19:01.633
You can feel jesus. you don't need much faith
00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.668
You don't need much faith to do great things when
00:19:02.734 --> 00:19:04.169
To do great things when you've got jesus.
00:19:04.236 --> 00:19:06.371
You've got jesus. that's why he said,
00:19:06.438 --> 00:19:07.072
That's why he said, "faith the size
00:19:07.139 --> 00:19:07.940
"faith the size of a mustard seed
00:19:08.006 --> 00:19:09.274
Of a mustard seed can move a mountain."
00:19:09.341 --> 00:19:11.343
Can move a mountain." you just need
00:19:11.410 --> 00:19:11.877
You just need a little bit of him,
00:19:11.944 --> 00:19:12.945
A little bit of him, and it goes a long way.
00:19:13.011 --> 00:19:16.615
And it goes a long way. but there was a problem with
00:19:16.682 --> 00:19:17.783
But there was a problem with those who were around
00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:18.684
Those who were around jesus then,
00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:19.718
Jesus then, and there's a problem with
00:19:19.785 --> 00:19:20.452
And there's a problem with those who are around jesus now.
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:24.089
Those who are around jesus now. just like he told
00:19:24.156 --> 00:19:24.856
Just like he told the ruler last week,
00:19:24.923 --> 00:19:26.758
The ruler last week, "you are close to the kingdom."
00:19:26.825 --> 00:19:30.729
"you are close to the kingdom." there's many people
00:19:30.796 --> 00:19:31.363
There's many people in this space today
00:19:31.430 --> 00:19:32.397
In this space today who are close to jesus,
00:19:32.464 --> 00:19:34.099
Who are close to jesus, but you're not living with
00:19:34.166 --> 00:19:35.267
But you're not living with even a mustard seed of faith.
00:19:35.334 --> 00:19:38.637
Even a mustard seed of faith. and the reason you are living
00:19:38.704 --> 00:19:39.705
And the reason you are living the life you're living
00:19:39.771 --> 00:19:40.872
The life you're living is because you're trying
00:19:40.939 --> 00:19:42.241
Is because you're trying to mix faith with doubt,
00:19:42.307 --> 00:19:45.711
To mix faith with doubt, and it doesn't work.
00:19:45.777 --> 00:19:48.947
And it doesn't work. when you read what the bible
00:19:49.014 --> 00:19:49.748
When you read what the bible says about doubt, it says,
00:19:49.815 --> 00:19:51.083
Says about doubt, it says, "the one who doubts
00:19:51.149 --> 00:19:51.650
"the one who doubts shall receive nothing."
00:19:51.717 --> 00:19:54.653
Shall receive nothing." and jesus says,
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:55.187
And jesus says, "just a little bit of faith,
00:19:55.254 --> 00:19:56.188
"just a little bit of faith, just a mustard seed of it
00:19:56.255 --> 00:19:59.758
Just a mustard seed of it and i'll do some
00:19:59.825 --> 00:20:00.225
And i'll do some mountain moving miracles
00:20:00.292 --> 00:20:01.460
Mountain moving miracles in your life."
00:20:01.526 --> 00:20:02.694
[applause]
00:20:04.263 --> 00:20:10.702
Now, where does this
00:20:11.270 --> 00:20:12.204
Now, where does this doubt come from?
00:20:12.271 --> 00:20:14.906
Doubt come from? i would propose to you
00:20:14.973 --> 00:20:15.874
I would propose to you that the doubt comes
00:20:15.941 --> 00:20:17.509
That the doubt comes from a lack of evidence.
00:20:17.576 --> 00:20:20.045
From a lack of evidence. i mean, there's lots of juries
00:20:20.112 --> 00:20:21.313
I mean, there's lots of juries that they let the criminal go.
00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:23.248
That they let the criminal go. why?
00:20:23.315 --> 00:20:23.749
Why? because even though
00:20:23.815 --> 00:20:24.750
Because even though they felt like it was
00:20:24.816 --> 00:20:26.151
They felt like it was good to convict,
00:20:26.218 --> 00:20:27.819
Good to convict, they didn't have
00:20:27.886 --> 00:20:28.387
They didn't have enough what?
00:20:28.453 --> 00:20:29.521
Enough what? evidence.
00:20:29.588 --> 00:20:31.657
Evidence. jesus, whenever he was
00:20:31.723 --> 00:20:32.791
Jesus, whenever he was dealing with his disciples,
00:20:32.858 --> 00:20:34.026
Dealing with his disciples, he often said to them,
00:20:34.092 --> 00:20:35.827
He often said to them, "oh, you of little faith,
00:20:35.894 --> 00:20:36.762
"oh, you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
00:20:36.828 --> 00:20:39.097
Why did you doubt?" and what he was
00:20:39.164 --> 00:20:39.898
And what he was saying to them is,
00:20:39.965 --> 00:20:40.866
Saying to them is, "i have given you enough
00:20:40.932 --> 00:20:42.401
"i have given you enough evidence that you should know
00:20:42.467 --> 00:20:45.437
Evidence that you should know who i am and what i can do."
00:20:45.504 --> 00:20:49.074
Who i am and what i can do." i'll prove it to you
00:20:49.141 --> 00:20:50.242
I'll prove it to you in one story.
00:20:50.309 --> 00:20:52.477
In one story. matthew 14:31,
00:20:52.544 --> 00:20:54.913
Matthew 14:31, jesus is talking to peter.
00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:56.081
Jesus is talking to peter. peter and jesus have just
00:20:56.148 --> 00:20:57.149
Peter and jesus have just taken a walk on the water.
00:20:57.215 --> 00:21:00.218
Taken a walk on the water. and jesus is pulling peter
00:21:00.285 --> 00:21:01.353
And jesus is pulling peter out of the water.
00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:03.188
Out of the water. and he says to him,
00:21:03.255 --> 00:21:04.222
And he says to him, "oh, you of little faith.
00:21:04.289 --> 00:21:05.524
"oh, you of little faith. why did you doubt?"
00:21:05.590 --> 00:21:08.193
Why did you doubt?" he scolded the guy.
00:21:08.260 --> 00:21:09.027
And the reason he was
00:21:11.229 --> 00:21:11.930
And the reason he was upset about this
00:21:11.997 --> 00:21:14.032
Upset about this is because in matthew 8,
00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:17.936
Is because in matthew 8, they were in another storm.
00:21:18.003 --> 00:21:19.805
They were in another storm. and in this particular storm,
00:21:19.871 --> 00:21:22.274
And in this particular storm, the winds and the waves were
00:21:22.341 --> 00:21:23.442
The winds and the waves were beating on the side of the boat
00:21:23.508 --> 00:21:24.443
Beating on the side of the boat and jesus was asleep
00:21:24.509 --> 00:21:25.444
And jesus was asleep in the back of the boat.
00:21:25.510 --> 00:21:27.412
In the back of the boat. and while he's asleep
00:21:27.479 --> 00:21:28.246
And while he's asleep in the back of the boat,
00:21:28.313 --> 00:21:29.047
In the back of the boat, peter yells at jesus,
00:21:29.114 --> 00:21:30.615
Peter yells at jesus, "do you not care?
00:21:30.682 --> 00:21:32.751
"do you not care? we're gonna die."
00:21:32.818 --> 00:21:35.087
We're gonna die." and jesus stands up
00:21:35.153 --> 00:21:36.788
And jesus stands up and he says, "peace be still."
00:21:36.855 --> 00:21:39.391
And he says, "peace be still." he calmed the winds
00:21:39.458 --> 00:21:40.826
He calmed the winds and the waves.
00:21:40.892 --> 00:21:41.226
And the waves. and the bible says in that
00:21:41.293 --> 00:21:42.494
And the bible says in that chapter that they were amazed
00:21:42.561 --> 00:21:44.329
Chapter that they were amazed at what jesus did.
00:21:44.396 --> 00:21:45.597
At what jesus did. what just happened?
00:21:45.664 --> 00:21:46.698
What just happened? jesus gave them evidence.
00:21:46.765 --> 00:21:51.036
Jesus gave them evidence. he gave them enough that
00:21:51.103 --> 00:21:52.337
He gave them enough that they could draw from
00:21:52.404 --> 00:21:53.839
They could draw from that the next time
00:21:53.905 --> 00:21:54.506
That the next time they were in a storm,
00:21:54.573 --> 00:21:56.575
They were in a storm, they shouldn't worry
00:21:56.641 --> 00:21:57.242
They shouldn't worry about the storm.
00:21:57.309 --> 00:21:59.144
About the storm. because if he can
00:21:59.211 --> 00:21:59.878
Because if he can calm that storm,
00:21:59.945 --> 00:22:01.213
Calm that storm, then there's not a storm
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:02.447
Then there's not a storm that he can't talk to
00:22:02.514 --> 00:22:04.249
That he can't talk to and make it quit.
00:22:04.316 --> 00:22:06.051
And make it quit. and instead of having enough
00:22:06.118 --> 00:22:06.985
And instead of having enough faith to walk on the water
00:22:07.052 --> 00:22:09.287
Faith to walk on the water and look at the waves and go,
00:22:09.354 --> 00:22:10.789
And look at the waves and go, "you can't touch me.
00:22:10.856 --> 00:22:11.757
"you can't touch me. i have jesus."
00:22:11.823 --> 00:22:12.858
I have jesus." and tell the wind,
00:22:12.924 --> 00:22:13.825
And tell the wind, "you can blow
00:22:13.892 --> 00:22:14.459
"you can blow as hard as you want.
00:22:14.526 --> 00:22:15.494
As hard as you want. it's not gonna affect me.
00:22:15.560 --> 00:22:16.795
It's not gonna affect me. i've got jesus.
00:22:16.862 --> 00:22:17.929
I've got jesus. i'm working with somebody
00:22:17.996 --> 00:22:19.131
I'm working with somebody who can do more than i can
00:22:19.197 --> 00:22:20.966
Who can do more than i can ask, think or imagine.
00:22:21.032 --> 00:22:22.167
Ask, think or imagine. and there isn't anything
00:22:22.234 --> 00:22:23.402
And there isn't anything that you can do about it.
00:22:23.468 --> 00:22:24.536
That you can do about it. go ahead and blow, wind.
00:22:24.603 --> 00:22:26.171
Go ahead and blow, wind. go ahead and rock, waves.
00:22:26.238 --> 00:22:27.839
Go ahead and rock, waves. i'm walking on the water
00:22:27.906 --> 00:22:29.074
I'm walking on the water because of jesus."
00:22:29.141 --> 00:22:30.008
[applause]
00:22:30.342 --> 00:22:33.044
But instead,
00:22:34.813 --> 00:22:35.113
But instead, he let the circumstance
00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:36.081
He let the circumstance dictate the feeling,
00:22:36.148 --> 00:22:38.483
Dictate the feeling, and it distracted him from
00:22:38.550 --> 00:22:40.118
And it distracted him from what his faith was focused on,
00:22:40.185 --> 00:22:43.422
What his faith was focused on, and he started to drown.
00:22:43.488 --> 00:22:45.624
And he started to drown. and i would propose to you that
00:22:45.690 --> 00:22:47.292
And i would propose to you that there's just as many people
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.226
There's just as many people drowning in a storm
00:22:48.293 --> 00:22:49.728
Drowning in a storm of circumstances here today
00:22:49.795 --> 00:22:52.664
Of circumstances here today and watching by television,
00:22:52.731 --> 00:22:56.368
And watching by television, that even though jesus has been
00:22:56.435 --> 00:22:57.869
That even though jesus has been faithful to you in your past,
00:22:57.936 --> 00:23:01.339
Faithful to you in your past, you're worrying right now
00:23:01.406 --> 00:23:02.307
You're worrying right now if he can do it again.
00:23:02.374 --> 00:23:03.074
Church, he's a faithful god.
00:23:05.010 --> 00:23:08.013
Church, he's a faithful god. he's a faithful god.
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:09.981
He's a faithful god. he's a faithful god.
00:23:10.048 --> 00:23:11.650
[applause]
00:23:12.017 --> 00:23:14.553
So, how do you access
00:23:15.487 --> 00:23:16.021
So, how do you access that promise?
00:23:16.087 --> 00:23:18.223
That promise? have faith in god.
00:23:18.290 --> 00:23:21.993
Have faith in god. say it with me,
00:23:22.060 --> 00:23:23.061
Say it with me, "have faith in god."
00:23:23.128 --> 00:23:27.632
"have faith in god." i want you to stand
00:23:27.699 --> 00:23:28.333
I want you to stand to your feet.
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.703
To your feet. and there's some place
00:23:31.770 --> 00:23:32.204
And there's some place in your life today where
00:23:32.270 --> 00:23:33.238
In your life today where you're going through a storm.
00:23:33.305 --> 00:23:36.041
You're going through a storm. there's some need that you have.
00:23:36.107 --> 00:23:40.545
There's some need that you have. god already knows all about it.
00:23:40.612 --> 00:23:43.515
God already knows all about it. but rather than use
00:23:43.582 --> 00:23:44.549
But rather than use the word of god and faith,
00:23:44.616 --> 00:23:47.619
The word of god and faith, you're standing here
00:23:47.686 --> 00:23:48.487
You're standing here drowning in doubt,
00:23:48.553 --> 00:23:50.922
Drowning in doubt, wondering if he's gonna
00:23:50.989 --> 00:23:51.857
Wondering if he's gonna come through again.
00:23:51.923 --> 00:23:54.192
Come through again. well, today we're gonna do
00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:55.193
