Pastor matt hagee: the currency
00:00:13.874 --> 00:00:14.442
Pastor matt hagee: the currency of the kingdom is love,
00:00:14.508 --> 00:00:17.044
Of the kingdom is love, and faith and hope are how
00:00:17.111 --> 00:00:18.913
And faith and hope are how you access that currency.
00:00:18.979 --> 00:00:22.716
You access that currency. whenever you read
00:00:22.783 --> 00:00:23.250
Whenever you read in the word of god
00:00:23.317 --> 00:00:25.453
In the word of god faith, hope, and love,
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:26.754
Faith, hope, and love, they're always working together.
00:00:26.821 --> 00:00:29.924
They're always working together. and it works together so that
00:00:29.990 --> 00:00:32.226
And it works together so that you will have the opportunity
00:00:32.293 --> 00:00:33.794
You will have the opportunity to operate according
00:00:33.861 --> 00:00:35.596
To operate according to what the bible says
00:00:35.663 --> 00:00:36.997
To what the bible says you can operate in this life.
00:00:37.064 --> 00:00:40.167
You can operate in this life. what good is the power of god
00:00:40.234 --> 00:00:41.769
What good is the power of god if you have no place
00:00:41.836 --> 00:00:42.837
If you have no place or way to access it?
00:00:42.903 --> 00:00:45.239
Or way to access it? most of the time
00:00:45.306 --> 00:00:46.040
Most of the time when people start to talk
00:00:46.107 --> 00:00:46.841
When people start to talk about god's promises
00:00:46.907 --> 00:00:47.875
About god's promises and god's power
00:00:47.942 --> 00:00:48.809
And god's power and they don't
00:00:48.876 --> 00:00:49.310
And they don't receive them in their life,
00:00:49.376 --> 00:00:51.312
Receive them in their life, they don't say that
00:00:51.378 --> 00:00:52.313
They don't say that it's something they're doing,
00:00:52.379 --> 00:00:53.514
It's something they're doing, they just say it's something
00:00:53.581 --> 00:00:54.682
They just say it's something that god didn't want me to have.
00:00:54.748 --> 00:00:57.251
That god didn't want me to have. but you can't read
00:00:57.318 --> 00:00:57.785
But you can't read the word of god
00:00:57.852 --> 00:00:58.452
The word of god and come to that conclusion.
00:00:58.519 --> 00:01:00.020
And come to that conclusion. just take one section
00:01:00.087 --> 00:01:01.122
Just take one section of scripture from romans 8.
00:01:01.188 --> 00:01:04.091
Of scripture from romans 8. paul asks a very important
00:01:04.158 --> 00:01:05.793
Paul asks a very important question in that chapter.
00:01:05.860 --> 00:01:07.294
Question in that chapter. he says, "what shall we
00:01:07.361 --> 00:01:08.796
He says, "what shall we say of these things?
00:01:08.863 --> 00:01:10.931
Say of these things? since god did not
00:01:10.998 --> 00:01:12.433
Since god did not spare his own son,
00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:14.468
Spare his own son, how will he not with him
00:01:14.535 --> 00:01:16.370
How will he not with him freely give us all things?"
00:01:16.437 --> 00:01:19.039
Freely give us all things?" paul is saying to us
00:01:19.106 --> 00:01:20.274
Paul is saying to us that god loves us so much
00:01:20.341 --> 00:01:22.610
That god loves us so much and has already given his son,
00:01:22.676 --> 00:01:24.545
And has already given his son, how would he withhold
00:01:24.612 --> 00:01:26.080
How would he withhold anything from us?
00:01:26.147 --> 00:01:28.649
Anything from us? so, the bible tells us
00:01:28.716 --> 00:01:29.283
So, the bible tells us very clearly that god
00:01:29.350 --> 00:01:30.584
Very clearly that god wants to desperately
00:01:30.651 --> 00:01:32.219
Wants to desperately give you the things
00:01:32.286 --> 00:01:33.420
Give you the things that you want to have him
00:01:33.487 --> 00:01:34.955
That you want to have him do in your life,
00:01:35.022 --> 00:01:36.891
Do in your life, but you need to know
00:01:36.957 --> 00:01:37.491
But you need to know how to access it.
00:01:37.558 --> 00:01:39.360
How to access it. paul is so emphatic
00:01:39.426 --> 00:01:40.494
Paul is so emphatic about this point.
00:01:40.561 --> 00:01:41.061
About this point. he says, "just look at what
00:01:41.128 --> 00:01:42.163
He says, "just look at what he's already done.
00:01:42.229 --> 00:01:42.930
He's already done. he already loved us so much,
00:01:42.997 --> 00:01:45.032
He already loved us so much, he gave us jesus.
00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:46.066
He gave us jesus. and jesus loved us so much
00:01:46.133 --> 00:01:47.935
And jesus loved us so much that he gave his life.
00:01:48.002 --> 00:01:49.537
That he gave his life. how will he not freely
00:01:49.603 --> 00:01:51.639
How will he not freely with him give us all things?"
00:01:51.705 --> 00:01:54.675
With him give us all things?" and then he brings it
00:01:54.742 --> 00:01:55.709
And then he brings it to a crescendo when he says,
00:01:55.776 --> 00:01:57.178
To a crescendo when he says, "if god be for us,
00:01:57.244 --> 00:01:59.613
"if god be for us, who can be against us?"
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.149
Who can be against us?" church, that's something that
00:02:02.216 --> 00:02:03.484
Church, that's something that you should say to yourself
00:02:03.551 --> 00:02:05.352
You should say to yourself on a daily basis.
00:02:05.419 --> 00:02:06.620
On a daily basis. before you brush your teeth,
00:02:06.687 --> 00:02:08.556
Before you brush your teeth, look in the mirror and say,
00:02:08.622 --> 00:02:10.324
Look in the mirror and say, "if god be for me,
00:02:10.391 --> 00:02:12.026
"if god be for me, who can be against me?"
00:02:12.092 --> 00:02:14.094
Who can be against me?" and then, think about
00:02:14.161 --> 00:02:14.895
And then, think about what that means.
00:02:14.962 --> 00:02:15.829
What that means. god, the creator
00:02:15.896 --> 00:02:17.064
God, the creator of heaven and earth,
00:02:17.131 --> 00:02:18.299
Of heaven and earth, if he's for you,
00:02:18.365 --> 00:02:19.800
If he's for you, then no weapon formed
00:02:19.867 --> 00:02:20.968
Then no weapon formed against you would prosper.
00:02:21.035 --> 00:02:22.603
Against you would prosper. god, a refuge and a strength
00:02:22.670 --> 00:02:24.805
God, a refuge and a strength and an ever-present help
00:02:24.872 --> 00:02:26.006
And an ever-present help in a time of trouble,
00:02:26.073 --> 00:02:27.208
In a time of trouble, because he's on your side,
00:02:27.274 --> 00:02:28.976
Because he's on your side, no weapon, no enemy,
00:02:29.043 --> 00:02:30.911
No weapon, no enemy, no accuser, no army
00:02:30.978 --> 00:02:32.846
No accuser, no army can come against you.
00:02:32.913 --> 00:02:33.914
Can come against you. god, the lord your healer.
00:02:33.981 --> 00:02:36.283
God, the lord your healer. god, jehovah shammah.
00:02:36.350 --> 00:02:38.319
God, jehovah shammah. god the one who promised
00:02:38.385 --> 00:02:40.254
God the one who promised to always be your supply.
00:02:40.321 --> 00:02:42.223
To always be your supply. if he's on your side,
00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:43.691
If he's on your side, no plague shall come
00:02:43.757 --> 00:02:45.025
No plague shall come near your dwelling,
00:02:45.092 --> 00:02:45.960
Near your dwelling, no need shall overtake you.
00:02:46.026 --> 00:02:48.028
No need shall overtake you. because el shaddai,
00:02:48.095 --> 00:02:49.196
Because el shaddai, the all sufficient one will
00:02:49.263 --> 00:02:51.131
The all sufficient one will supply all of your needs.
00:02:51.198 --> 00:02:52.833
Supply all of your needs. the question is not,
00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:54.335
The question is not, is god the creator
00:02:54.401 --> 00:02:55.569
Is god the creator of heaven and earth?
00:02:55.636 --> 00:02:56.503
Of heaven and earth? is god, the mighty god
00:02:56.570 --> 00:02:58.439
Is god, the mighty god almighty and supreme,
00:02:58.505 --> 00:03:00.007
Almighty and supreme, is god for us?
00:03:00.074 --> 00:03:02.176
Is god for us? does god love us?
00:03:02.243 --> 00:03:03.177
Does god love us? that's not the question.
00:03:03.244 --> 00:03:04.411
That's not the question. he proved it when
00:03:04.478 --> 00:03:05.613
He proved it when he gave jesus christ.
00:03:05.679 --> 00:03:07.348
He gave jesus christ. and this morning he wants you
00:03:07.414 --> 00:03:08.849
And this morning he wants you to know he's on your side.
00:03:08.916 --> 00:03:11.185
[applause]
00:03:11.585 --> 00:03:17.925
So, since he's given us
00:03:18.359 --> 00:03:19.260
So, since he's given us christ to prove his love,
00:03:19.326 --> 00:03:21.195
Christ to prove his love, and christ has given himself
00:03:21.262 --> 00:03:22.763
And christ has given himself to make his power
00:03:22.830 --> 00:03:24.064
To make his power and his promises
00:03:24.131 --> 00:03:24.832
And his promises real in our life,
00:03:24.898 --> 00:03:25.633
Real in our life, how do we access it?
00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:28.702
How do we access it? in the kingdom of god,
00:03:28.769 --> 00:03:29.870
In the kingdom of god, there is an account
00:03:29.937 --> 00:03:31.005
There is an account with your name on it
00:03:31.071 --> 00:03:32.606
With your name on it and there's provision
00:03:32.673 --> 00:03:33.474
And there's provision and there's healing
00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:34.541
And there's healing and there's miracle power
00:03:34.608 --> 00:03:36.076
And there's miracle power and there's all of these things
00:03:36.143 --> 00:03:37.344
And there's all of these things in heavenly places.
00:03:37.411 --> 00:03:38.312
In heavenly places. how do you get to it?
00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:41.482
How do you get to it? here on this earth, you have
00:03:41.548 --> 00:03:42.716
Here on this earth, you have your money in a bank, hopefully.
00:03:42.783 --> 00:03:45.052
Your money in a bank, hopefully. some of you may have it
00:03:45.119 --> 00:03:45.853
Some of you may have it in your mattress.
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.087
In your mattress. don't raise your hand,
00:03:47.154 --> 00:03:48.822
Don't raise your hand, they'll follow you home.
00:03:48.889 --> 00:03:50.291
[laughter]
00:03:50.691 --> 00:03:51.392
But wherever you keep
00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:53.661
But wherever you keep your currency on this earth,
00:03:53.727 --> 00:03:55.129

You have to know how to access it in order
00:03:55.996 --> 00:03:57.164

For it to benefit you. if you have it in a bank and you
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.834
If you have it in a bank and you want to access that account,
00:04:00.901 --> 00:04:03.070
Want to access that account, you probably have to have
00:04:03.137 --> 00:04:04.104
You probably have to have two forms of id,
00:04:04.171 --> 00:04:05.239
Two forms of id, an eight to eighteen
00:04:05.306 --> 00:04:06.407

And the house that you grew up in with

Grew up in with the color of the door.
00:04:18.052 --> 00:04:19.153
[laughter]
00:04:19.653 --> 00:04:21.188
[applause]
00:04:21.789 --> 00:04:23.357
Just to keep your money safe,
00:04:23.891 --> 00:04:26.026
Just to keep your money safe, they make it hard for you
00:04:26.093 --> 00:04:27.027
They make it hard for you to get to it.
00:04:27.094 --> 00:04:28.162
[laughter]
00:04:28.562 --> 00:04:29.296
But wherever that currency is,
00:04:31.198 --> 00:04:32.933
But wherever that currency is, you have to be able
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:33.701
You have to be able to utilize access
00:04:33.767 --> 00:04:35.069
To utilize access to that account before
00:04:35.135 --> 00:04:36.437
To that account before it can benefit you.
00:04:36.503 --> 00:04:38.339
It can benefit you. well, faith, according to what
00:04:38.405 --> 00:04:40.040
Well, faith, according to what the word of god says,
00:04:40.107 --> 00:04:41.608
The word of god says, is how you access the account
00:04:41.675 --> 00:04:43.977
Is how you access the account in your heavenly places.
00:04:44.044 --> 00:04:45.946
In your heavenly places. you can't get anything
00:04:46.013 --> 00:04:46.947
You can't get anything from god without faith.
00:04:47.014 --> 00:04:49.717
From god without faith. this is what
00:04:49.783 --> 00:04:50.150
This is what the writer of hebrews is saying.
00:04:50.217 --> 00:04:52.286
The writer of hebrews is saying. he's quoting the prophet of old,
00:04:52.353 --> 00:04:54.755
He's quoting the prophet of old, and he gives the word that
00:04:54.822 --> 00:04:56.490
And he gives the word that the lord gave to the prophet.
00:04:56.557 --> 00:04:58.392
The lord gave to the prophet. and it starts in verse 38,
00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:00.227
And it starts in verse 38, "the just shall live," how?
00:05:00.294 --> 00:05:03.097
"the just shall live," how? "by faith."
00:05:03.163 --> 00:05:04.898
"by faith." and then, the lord says,
00:05:04.965 --> 00:05:07.201
And then, the lord says, "if anyone draws back
00:05:07.267 --> 00:05:08.802
"if anyone draws back from faith, god has
00:05:08.869 --> 00:05:10.871
From faith, god has no pleasure in him."
00:05:10.938 --> 00:05:12.506
No pleasure in him." if anyone chooses
00:05:12.573 --> 00:05:13.741
If anyone chooses to believe in god
00:05:13.807 --> 00:05:15.109
To believe in god and then start to doubt god,
00:05:15.175 --> 00:05:16.510
And then start to doubt god, god does not have
00:05:16.577 --> 00:05:17.411
God does not have any pleasure in that.
00:05:17.478 --> 00:05:20.447
Any pleasure in that. and then, it says,
00:05:20.514 --> 00:05:21.014
And then, it says, "but we are not of those
00:05:21.081 --> 00:05:22.049
"but we are not of those who draw back,
00:05:22.116 --> 00:05:22.816
Who draw back, but we are of those
00:05:22.883 --> 00:05:23.817
But we are of those who believe to
00:05:23.884 --> 00:05:24.885
Who believe to the saving of our soul."
00:05:24.952 --> 00:05:26.019
The saving of our soul." and then, in the next chapter,
00:05:26.086 --> 00:05:28.722
And then, in the next chapter, "faith is the substance
00:05:28.789 --> 00:05:29.957
"faith is the substance of things hoped for
00:05:30.023 --> 00:05:31.191
Of things hoped for and the evidence
00:05:31.258 --> 00:05:32.159
And the evidence of things not yet seen."
00:05:32.226 --> 00:05:34.461
Of things not yet seen." how do you receive
00:05:34.528 --> 00:05:35.062
How do you receive god's promises in your life?
00:05:35.129 --> 00:05:36.964
God's promises in your life? faith.
00:05:37.030 --> 00:05:38.332
Faith. you don't beg
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:38.966
You don't beg for god's promises.
00:05:39.032 --> 00:05:40.801
For god's promises. some people think that that's
00:05:40.868 --> 00:05:41.769
Some people think that that's how you get a request in heaven.
00:05:41.835 --> 00:05:43.270
How you get a request in heaven. the bible doesn't say,
00:05:43.337 --> 00:05:44.138
The bible doesn't say, "come before his gates
00:05:44.204 --> 00:05:45.072
"come before his gates with begging."
00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:46.006
With begging." it says, "come before his gates
00:05:46.073 --> 00:05:47.207
It says, "come before his gates with thanksgiving
00:05:47.274 --> 00:05:47.975
With thanksgiving and with praise."
00:05:48.041 --> 00:05:49.943
And with praise." you don't barter
00:05:50.010 --> 00:05:50.978
You don't barter into god's promises.
00:05:51.044 --> 00:05:51.879
Into god's promises. some people like to
00:05:51.945 --> 00:05:52.746
Some people like to barter with god.
00:05:52.813 --> 00:05:53.614
Barter with god. "god, if you do this,
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:54.615
"god, if you do this, i'll do that."
00:05:54.681 --> 00:05:55.182
I'll do that." have you ever seen somebody
00:05:55.249 --> 00:05:56.216
Have you ever seen somebody pray one of those prayers?
00:05:56.283 --> 00:05:58.986
Pray one of those prayers? "help me with this
00:05:59.052 --> 00:05:59.553
"help me with this and i'll serve you in africa."
00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:01.955
And i'll serve you in africa." if everybody who prayed
00:06:02.022 --> 00:06:02.923
If everybody who prayed that prayer actually
00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:04.258
That prayer actually kept their promise,
00:06:04.324 --> 00:06:05.225
Kept their promise, we wouldn't need anybody
00:06:05.292 --> 00:06:06.627
We wouldn't need anybody to go to africa.
00:06:06.693 --> 00:06:09.196
To go to africa. you don't barter with god,
00:06:09.263 --> 00:06:10.297
You don't barter with god, you don't beg god
00:06:10.364 --> 00:06:11.965
You don't beg god and you don't borrow
00:06:12.032 --> 00:06:13.634
And you don't borrow faith from others.
00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:17.204
Faith from others. oftentimes, people want you
00:06:17.271 --> 00:06:19.072
Oftentimes, people want you to use your faith
00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:20.274
To use your faith to believe for them.
00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:21.308
To believe for them. there's a problem with that.
00:06:21.375 --> 00:06:22.409
There's a problem with that. god didn't say,
00:06:22.476 --> 00:06:23.911
God didn't say, "let bubba believe for you."
00:06:23.977 --> 00:06:25.412
"let bubba believe for you." you can work together
00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:26.547
You can work together in intercession,
00:06:26.613 --> 00:06:27.714
In intercession, but you have to
00:06:27.781 --> 00:06:28.415
But you have to believe for yourself.
00:06:28.482 --> 00:06:31.285
Believe for yourself. that's why hebrews 11:6 says,
00:06:31.351 --> 00:06:32.953
That's why hebrews 11:6 says, "without faith
00:06:33.020 --> 00:06:34.154
"without faith it is impossible,"
00:06:34.221 --> 00:06:35.489
It is impossible," say that with me.
00:06:35.556 --> 00:06:36.390
Say that with me. "without faith,
00:06:36.457 --> 00:06:37.591
"without faith, it is impossible
00:06:37.658 --> 00:06:39.793
It is impossible to please him."
00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:40.427
To please him." who's him?
00:06:40.494 --> 00:06:41.195
Who's him? god.
00:06:41.261 --> 00:06:41.762
Everything that you receive,
00:06:42.863 --> 00:06:43.897
Everything that you receive, everything that you access
00:06:43.964 --> 00:06:45.265
Everything that you access in heavenly places,
00:06:45.332 --> 00:06:46.333
In heavenly places, everything that god
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:47.468
Everything that god wants to exchange with you,
00:06:47.534 --> 00:06:49.470
Wants to exchange with you, every promise that
00:06:49.536 --> 00:06:50.504
Every promise that he has for you,
00:06:50.571 --> 00:06:51.905
He has for you, you get it by faith.
00:06:51.972 --> 00:06:54.641
You get it by faith. faith is how you
00:06:54.708 --> 00:06:55.375
Faith is how you protect your life from
00:06:55.442 --> 00:06:57.211
Protect your life from the attack of the enemy.
00:06:57.277 --> 00:06:59.413
The attack of the enemy. in ephesians 6:16,
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.782
In ephesians 6:16, you read about
00:07:01.849 --> 00:07:02.616
You read about the whole armor of god
00:07:02.683 --> 00:07:03.917
The whole armor of god and it says, "and take up
00:07:03.984 --> 00:07:05.552
And it says, "and take up the shield of faith."
00:07:05.619 --> 00:07:07.754
The shield of faith." what is the shield of faith
00:07:07.821 --> 00:07:08.922
What is the shield of faith able to do?
00:07:08.989 --> 00:07:10.057
Able to do? according to scripture,
00:07:10.123 --> 00:07:10.891
According to scripture, it is able to quench
00:07:10.958 --> 00:07:12.125
It is able to quench all the fiery darts.
00:07:12.192 --> 00:07:13.994
All the fiery darts. how many of the fiery darts?
00:07:14.061 --> 00:07:15.762
How many of the fiery darts? all.
00:07:15.829 --> 00:07:17.998
All. now, what is this
00:07:18.065 --> 00:07:18.565
Now, what is this fiery dart issue?
00:07:18.632 --> 00:07:21.802
Fiery dart issue? in ancient warfare,
00:07:21.869 --> 00:07:23.403
In ancient warfare, armies used to wrap
00:07:23.470 --> 00:07:24.905
Armies used to wrap their arrows with cloth
00:07:24.972 --> 00:07:26.607
Their arrows with cloth and then set them
00:07:26.673 --> 00:07:27.341
And then set them on fire and shoot them
00:07:27.407 --> 00:07:28.709
On fire and shoot them into the enemy camp.
00:07:28.775 --> 00:07:31.044
Into the enemy camp. why?
00:07:31.111 --> 00:07:32.346
Why? because if the enemy was
00:07:32.412 --> 00:07:33.647
Because if the enemy was distracted fighting a fire,
00:07:33.714 --> 00:07:35.549
Distracted fighting a fire, then they wouldn't be able
00:07:35.616 --> 00:07:36.550
Then they wouldn't be able to focus on the fight.
00:07:36.617 --> 00:07:39.486
To focus on the fight. so, when the enemy
00:07:39.553 --> 00:07:40.120
So, when the enemy uses a fiery dart,
00:07:40.187 --> 00:07:41.321
Uses a fiery dart, when satan uses a fiery dart,
00:07:41.388 --> 00:07:43.423
When satan uses a fiery dart, he's wanting to distract you
00:07:43.490 --> 00:07:45.058
He's wanting to distract you from your purpose.
00:07:45.125 --> 00:07:46.026
So, what happens in your life
00:07:47.828 --> 00:07:51.465
So, what happens in your life when the enemy wants
00:07:51.532 --> 00:07:52.799
When the enemy wants to shoot fiery darts at you,
00:07:52.866 --> 00:07:54.268
To shoot fiery darts at you, when he wants to distract you,
00:07:54.334 --> 00:07:55.869
When he wants to distract you, when he wants to take you
00:07:55.936 --> 00:07:56.870
When he wants to take you off of the focus that
00:07:56.937 --> 00:07:58.472
Off of the focus that you're supposed to have?
00:07:58.539 --> 00:07:59.473
You're supposed to have? you have a shield,
00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:01.308
You have a shield, the bible says of what?
00:08:01.375 --> 00:08:03.343
The bible says of what? "faith."
00:08:03.410 --> 00:08:03.777
"faith." say it with me,
00:08:03.844 --> 00:08:04.711
Say it with me, "a shield of faith."
00:08:04.778 --> 00:08:07.648
"a shield of faith." now, where does that
00:08:07.714 --> 00:08:08.115
Now, where does that shield come from?
00:08:08.181 --> 00:08:08.982
Shield come from? faith comes by hearing
00:08:09.049 --> 00:08:10.617
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god.
00:08:10.684 --> 00:08:13.186
And hearing by the word of god. so, here comes the distraction
00:08:13.253 --> 00:08:14.655
So, here comes the distraction from the enemy.
00:08:14.721 --> 00:08:15.589
From the enemy. he wants to distract you
00:08:15.656 --> 00:08:16.957
He wants to distract you by throwing accusations at you
00:08:17.024 --> 00:08:19.059
By throwing accusations at you and telling you you're not
00:08:19.126 --> 00:08:20.160
And telling you you're not worthy of god's love.
00:08:20.227 --> 00:08:21.295
Worthy of god's love. he wants to tell you that
00:08:21.361 --> 00:08:22.563
He wants to tell you that your past is too painful,
00:08:22.629 --> 00:08:24.565
Your past is too painful, or your past is too stained
00:08:24.631 --> 00:08:26.233
Or your past is too stained for you to be able to receive
00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:27.734
For you to be able to receive god's goodness and his mercy.
00:08:27.801 --> 00:08:29.102
God's goodness and his mercy. and here's what
00:08:29.169 --> 00:08:29.903
And here's what the shield of faith says,
00:08:29.970 --> 00:08:30.971
The shield of faith says, "though your sins were
00:08:31.038 --> 00:08:32.306
"though your sins were as scarlet, because of jesus,
00:08:32.372 --> 00:08:33.974
As scarlet, because of jesus, they're now white as snow."
00:08:34.041 --> 00:08:35.242
They're now white as snow." romans 8:1 says that,
00:08:35.309 --> 00:08:37.778
Romans 8:1 says that, "there is now therefore
00:08:37.844 --> 00:08:38.812
"there is now therefore no condemnation unto those
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.048
No condemnation unto those who are in christ jesus."
00:08:41.114 --> 00:08:42.349
Who are in christ jesus." so, he shoots
00:08:42.416 --> 00:08:43.016
So, he shoots a fiery dart of fear.
00:08:43.083 --> 00:08:44.484
A fiery dart of fear. he wants you to be
00:08:44.551 --> 00:08:45.319
He wants you to be afraid of the economy.
00:08:45.385 --> 00:08:46.486
Afraid of the economy. he wants you to be
00:08:46.553 --> 00:08:47.054
He wants you to be afraid of this world.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.255
Afraid of this world. he wants you to be
00:08:48.322 --> 00:08:48.989
He wants you to be afraid of the future.
00:08:49.056 --> 00:08:50.223
Afraid of the future. he wants you to be afraid
00:08:50.290 --> 00:08:51.058
He wants you to be afraid of what the doctor's gonna say
00:08:51.124 --> 00:08:52.759
Of what the doctor's gonna say when the test results come in.
00:08:52.826 --> 00:08:53.994
When the test results come in. listen to what psalms 34 says.
00:08:54.061 --> 00:08:56.330
Listen to what psalms 34 says. it doesn't matter what he
00:08:56.396 --> 00:08:57.464
It doesn't matter what he wants you to be afraid of
00:08:57.531 --> 00:08:58.465
Wants you to be afraid of because psalms 34 says,
00:08:58.532 --> 00:08:59.967
Because psalms 34 says, "i sought the lord
00:09:00.033 --> 00:09:01.001
"i sought the lord and he heard me
00:09:01.068 --> 00:09:02.536
And he heard me and he delivered me
00:09:02.603 --> 00:09:03.470
And he delivered me from all of my fears."
00:09:03.537 --> 00:09:05.305
From all of my fears." i don't have to fear
00:09:05.372 --> 00:09:06.640
I don't have to fear a storm because my god
00:09:06.707 --> 00:09:08.575
A storm because my god is the master of the wind.
00:09:08.642 --> 00:09:09.876
Is the master of the wind. i don't have to fear failure
00:09:09.943 --> 00:09:11.478
I don't have to fear failure because i can do
00:09:11.545 --> 00:09:12.980
Because i can do all things through christ.

All things through christ. i don't have to have

I don't have to have any kind of lack or need
00:09:15.082 --> 00:09:16.717
Any kind of lack or need because god has promised
00:09:16.783 --> 00:09:18.218
Because god has promised he would open up
00:09:18.285 --> 00:09:18.952
He would open up the windows of heaven
00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:20.020
The windows of heaven and he would pour out
00:09:20.087 --> 00:09:20.954
And he would pour out upon me blessings
00:09:21.021 --> 00:09:21.955
Upon me blessings that i cannot contain.
00:09:22.022 --> 00:09:23.190

It's forgotten, it's under the blood,
00:09:49.016 --> 00:09:50.150

The dead,
00:10:09.670 --> 00:10:10.303
Faith would have no meaning
00:10:10.303 --> 00:10:11.938
And hope would have no future.
00:10:11.938 --> 00:10:14.041
But jesus did rise.

Lives in every believer.

Faith is real.
00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:08.929
Faith is real. it's a substance.
00:11:08.995 --> 00:11:10.864
It's a substance. it's not figurative.
00:11:10.931 --> 00:11:12.499
It's not figurative. and the bible tells us
00:11:12.566 --> 00:11:13.500
And the bible tells us in hebrews 11 that,
00:11:13.567 --> 00:11:14.735
In hebrews 11 that, "faith is the substance
00:11:14.801 --> 00:11:15.569
"faith is the substance of things hoped for,
00:11:15.635 --> 00:11:16.503
Of things hoped for, the evidence,"
00:11:16.570 --> 00:11:18.038
The evidence," say that word with me,
00:11:18.105 --> 00:11:19.139
Say that word with me, "the evidence
00:11:19.206 --> 00:11:21.141
"the evidence of things not seen."
00:11:21.208 --> 00:11:23.810
Of things not seen." evidence are the clues.
00:11:23.877 --> 00:11:27.114
Evidence are the clues. when you go into a court
00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:29.516
When you go into a court and the jury is supposed
00:11:29.583 --> 00:11:30.517
And the jury is supposed to come to a conviction,
00:11:30.584 --> 00:11:33.854
To come to a conviction, a decision,
00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:35.355
A decision, the judge wants the jury
00:11:35.422 --> 00:11:36.790
The judge wants the jury to make the decision beyond
00:11:36.857 --> 00:11:38.091
To make the decision beyond a reasonable what?
00:11:38.158 --> 00:11:39.960
A reasonable what? doubt.
00:11:40.026 --> 00:11:41.828
Doubt. and they're asking
00:11:41.895 --> 00:11:42.696
And they're asking for this conviction,
00:11:42.763 --> 00:11:43.563
For this conviction, and they present what?
00:11:43.630 --> 00:11:45.832
And they present what? evidence.
00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:47.634
Evidence. the investigator sits on
00:11:47.701 --> 00:11:48.735
The investigator sits on the witness stand and he says,
00:11:48.802 --> 00:11:50.170
The witness stand and he says, "here are the details
00:11:50.237 --> 00:11:51.037
"here are the details and here are the clues
00:11:51.104 --> 00:11:52.105
And here are the clues and here's what
00:11:52.172 --> 00:11:52.973
And here's what we've discovered and here's
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:53.673
We've discovered and here's what we found out."
00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:54.641
What we found out." and then, they take
00:11:54.708 --> 00:11:55.275
And then, they take all of that information,
00:11:55.342 --> 00:11:56.343
All of that information, and they combine
00:11:56.409 --> 00:11:57.477
And they combine all of that evidence,
00:11:57.544 --> 00:11:58.812
All of that evidence, and they come
00:11:58.879 --> 00:11:59.379
And they come to the conclusion which
00:11:59.446 --> 00:12:00.380
To the conclusion which is called a conviction.
00:12:00.447 --> 00:12:01.815
Is called a conviction. what does it mean for you
00:12:01.882 --> 00:12:02.616
What does it mean for you to live with conviction
00:12:02.682 --> 00:12:03.717
To live with conviction in your life?
00:12:03.784 --> 00:12:05.585
In your life? it means that you've looked
00:12:05.652 --> 00:12:06.353
It means that you've looked at all of the evidence
00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:07.454
At all of the evidence that you can find,
00:12:07.521 --> 00:12:08.755
That you can find, and you've taken
00:12:08.822 --> 00:12:09.156
And you've taken all of that data
00:12:09.222 --> 00:12:10.357
All of that data and all of those details,
00:12:10.423 --> 00:12:11.491
And all of those details, and you've compiled it up
00:12:11.558 --> 00:12:13.059
And you've compiled it up and you've come
00:12:13.126 --> 00:12:13.960
And you've come to the conclusion
00:12:14.027 --> 00:12:14.761
To the conclusion that beyond a shadow
00:12:14.828 --> 00:12:15.729
That beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt,
00:12:15.796 --> 00:12:16.696
Of a reasonable doubt, this word is true,
00:12:16.763 --> 00:12:18.265
This word is true, and god is alive.
00:12:18.331 --> 00:12:19.266
The author of hebrews 11 says,
00:12:21.468 --> 00:12:23.336
The author of hebrews 11 says, "allow me to give you
00:12:23.403 --> 00:12:24.337
"allow me to give you the evidence that these guys
00:12:24.404 --> 00:12:25.572
The evidence that these guys used before you got here."
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.741
Used before you got here." and the first thing that he uses
00:12:27.808 --> 00:12:29.276
And the first thing that he uses as evidence is the world.
00:12:29.342 --> 00:12:31.011
As evidence is the world. hebrews 11:3, he says,
00:12:31.077 --> 00:12:32.546
Hebrews 11:3, he says, "by faith we understand
00:12:32.612 --> 00:12:35.215
"by faith we understand that the world that
00:12:35.282 --> 00:12:36.049
That the world that we see around us was formed
00:12:36.116 --> 00:12:37.818
We see around us was formed by the unseen hand of god."
00:12:37.884 --> 00:12:41.221
By the unseen hand of god." he's basically saying,
00:12:41.288 --> 00:12:42.255
He's basically saying, "how can you look at
00:12:42.322 --> 00:12:43.390
"how can you look at the sun, the moon, the stars,
00:12:43.456 --> 00:12:44.558
The sun, the moon, the stars, the trees, the leaves,
00:12:44.624 --> 00:12:45.592
The trees, the leaves, the grass, the fields,
00:12:45.659 --> 00:12:46.626
The grass, the fields, the mountains,
00:12:46.693 --> 00:12:48.161
The mountains, all of these things,
00:12:48.228 --> 00:12:48.962
All of these things, and for a moment not think
00:12:49.029 --> 00:12:51.064
And for a moment not think that there is a god?"
00:12:51.131 --> 00:12:53.800
That there is a god?" he's basically saying,
00:12:53.867 --> 00:12:54.568
He's basically saying, "anybody who can see all of that
00:12:54.634 --> 00:12:55.869
"anybody who can see all of that and deny god is dumb."
00:12:55.936 --> 00:12:59.339
And deny god is dumb." at least that's how
00:12:59.406 --> 00:12:59.840
At least that's how it's read in my version.
00:12:59.906 --> 00:13:02.309
It's read in my version. and then, he starts
00:13:02.375 --> 00:13:03.076
And then, he starts talking about individuals.
00:13:03.143 --> 00:13:05.078
Talking about individuals. that, "by faith abel,
00:13:05.145 --> 00:13:07.848
That, "by faith abel, and by faith enoch,
00:13:07.914 --> 00:13:09.182
And by faith enoch, and by faith noah,
00:13:09.249 --> 00:13:10.450
And by faith noah, and by faith abraham,
00:13:10.517 --> 00:13:11.952
And by faith abraham, and by faith sarah."
00:13:12.018 --> 00:13:13.486
And by faith sarah." they didn't all live
00:13:13.553 --> 00:13:14.621
They didn't all live perfect and flawless lives,
00:13:14.688 --> 00:13:15.922
Perfect and flawless lives, but they all lived with faith.
00:13:15.989 --> 00:13:18.758
But they all lived with faith. abel offered a more acceptable
00:13:18.825 --> 00:13:20.327
Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice to a god that
00:13:20.393 --> 00:13:21.761
Sacrifice to a god that he had never seen.
00:13:21.828 --> 00:13:23.029
He had never seen. enoch lived so faithfully
00:13:23.096 --> 00:13:24.731
Enoch lived so faithfully for god and believed so strongly
00:13:24.798 --> 00:13:26.733
For god and believed so strongly in a god that he was only told
00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:28.435
In a god that he was only told about that one day god said,
00:13:28.501 --> 00:13:30.170
About that one day god said, "hey enoch, you're too
00:13:30.237 --> 00:13:31.304
"hey enoch, you're too valuable to me up here.
00:13:31.371 --> 00:13:32.939
Valuable to me up here. why don't you just come up
00:13:33.006 --> 00:13:34.074
Why don't you just come up and spend the rest
00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:34.741
And spend the rest of eternity with me?"
00:13:34.808 --> 00:13:35.442
Noah spent 150 years
00:13:36.877 --> 00:13:39.212
Noah spent 150 years building a boat by faith.
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.249
Building a boat by faith. he'd never heard of rain,
00:13:42.315 --> 00:13:43.283
He'd never heard of rain, he'd never seen a flood.
00:13:43.350 --> 00:13:45.051
He'd never seen a flood. he built the boat
00:13:45.118 --> 00:13:46.086
He built the boat in the mountains.
00:13:46.152 --> 00:13:48.421
In the mountains. you don't have to be
00:13:48.488 --> 00:13:49.089
You don't have to be an aquatic engineer to know
00:13:49.155 --> 00:13:50.323
An aquatic engineer to know that's the wrong place
00:13:50.390 --> 00:13:51.324
That's the wrong place to build a boat.
00:13:51.391 --> 00:13:53.193
To build a boat. but he did it by faith
00:13:53.260 --> 00:13:54.261
But he did it by faith and he saved his whole family.
00:13:54.327 --> 00:13:56.429
And he saved his whole family. abraham dwelt in
00:13:56.496 --> 00:13:57.163
Abraham dwelt in a land of promise,
00:13:57.230 --> 00:13:58.164
A land of promise, believing for a city whose
00:13:58.231 --> 00:13:59.566
Believing for a city whose builder and maker was god.
00:13:59.633 --> 00:14:00.800
Builder and maker was god. sarah, by faith received
00:14:00.867 --> 00:14:02.402
Sarah, by faith received strength in her womb
00:14:02.469 --> 00:14:03.570
Strength in her womb after it was dead,
00:14:03.637 --> 00:14:04.871
After it was dead, and she was in her nineties,
00:14:04.938 --> 00:14:05.972
And she was in her nineties, and she bore a child.
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:07.307
And she bore a child. and god by faith gave
00:14:07.374 --> 00:14:09.175
And god by faith gave to sarah and abraham,
00:14:09.242 --> 00:14:10.377
To sarah and abraham, a genealogy that's now numbered
00:14:10.443 --> 00:14:12.579
A genealogy that's now numbered like the stars of the sky
00:14:12.646 --> 00:14:13.580
Like the stars of the sky and the sands of the sea.
00:14:13.647 --> 00:14:16.016
And the sands of the sea. the writer of hebrews
00:14:16.082 --> 00:14:16.716
The writer of hebrews is giving us all
00:14:16.783 --> 00:14:17.517
Is giving us all of this evidence and he says
00:14:17.584 --> 00:14:18.518
Of this evidence and he says "they lived and they died
00:14:18.585 --> 00:14:20.487
"they lived and they died in faith."
00:14:20.553 --> 00:14:21.554
In faith." and then, in verse 16,
00:14:21.621 --> 00:14:22.789
And then, in verse 16, he says something that
00:14:22.856 --> 00:14:23.523
He says something that should grip your heart
00:14:23.590 --> 00:14:24.557
Should grip your heart when you hear it.
00:14:24.624 --> 00:14:25.325
When you hear it. it says, "because they lived
00:14:25.392 --> 00:14:27.060
It says, "because they lived and they died in faith,
00:14:27.127 --> 00:14:28.828
And they died in faith, god was not ashamed
00:14:28.895 --> 00:14:30.263
God was not ashamed to be called their god."
00:14:30.330 --> 00:14:33.566
To be called their god." think about that.
00:14:33.633 --> 00:14:36.336
Think about that. god wasn't ashamed
00:14:36.403 --> 00:14:37.570
God wasn't ashamed to be called their god.
00:14:37.637 --> 00:14:40.307
To be called their god. he looked over
00:14:40.373 --> 00:14:40.874
He looked over the balconies of heaven
00:14:40.941 --> 00:14:41.775
The balconies of heaven and he said,
00:14:41.841 --> 00:14:42.309
And he said, "that one's mine."
00:14:42.375 --> 00:14:45.745
"that one's mine." are you living
00:14:45.812 --> 00:14:46.179
Are you living in that kind of faith?
00:14:46.246 --> 00:14:48.348
In that kind of faith? are you living
00:14:48.415 --> 00:14:48.848
Are you living in the kind of faith
00:14:48.915 --> 00:14:49.849
In the kind of faith that when god looks at you,
00:14:49.916 --> 00:14:50.650
That when god looks at you, he says,
00:14:50.717 --> 00:14:51.484
He says, "that one belongs to me.
00:14:51.551 --> 00:14:53.687
"that one belongs to me. i'm not ashamed of that one."
00:14:53.753 --> 00:14:56.790
I'm not ashamed of that one." or are you living
00:14:56.856 --> 00:14:57.290
Or are you living the kind of life that when
00:14:57.357 --> 00:14:57.991
The kind of life that when you get outta bed,
00:14:58.058 --> 00:14:58.558
You get outta bed, god goes, "uh-oh."
00:14:58.625 --> 00:15:03.797
God goes, "uh-oh." he goes on life after life,
00:15:03.863 --> 00:15:05.899

He says, "there's so much evidence in so many lives
00:15:17.377 --> 00:15:19.045
Evidence in so many lives that time would fail me.
00:15:19.112 --> 00:15:20.480
That time would fail me. and all of these,
00:15:20.547 --> 00:15:21.581
And all of these, they received a good testimony.
00:15:21.648 --> 00:15:23.483
They received a good testimony. how did they do it?
00:15:23.550 --> 00:15:24.884
How did they do it? they did it by faith."
00:15:24.951 --> 00:15:29.723
They did it by faith." he's made such a case,
00:15:29.789 --> 00:15:30.623

He's presented so much evidence that he says,
00:15:31.825 --> 00:15:32.726
Evidence that he says, "it's time for us

Of who he is that beyond a reasonable doubt we can
00:15:38.999 --> 00:15:40.300
A reasonable doubt we can live a life of conviction?
00:15:40.367 --> 00:15:42.268
Live a life of conviction? has god given us
00:15:42.335 --> 00:15:44.004
Has god given us enough evidence that we can
00:15:44.070 --> 00:15:44.971
Enough evidence that we can draw the conclusion based on

If all of those heroes of the faith could
00:15:52.045 --> 00:15:53.013
Of the faith could live and die with just
00:15:53.079 --> 00:15:54.314

Be convinced? how much more
00:16:00.487 --> 00:16:01.488
How much more should we be convicted?
00:16:01.554 --> 00:16:02.622
Should we be convicted? how much more should
00:16:02.689 --> 00:16:03.623
How much more should we be willing to live
00:16:03.690 --> 00:16:04.791
We be willing to live this life of faith?
00:16:04.858 --> 00:16:08.461

In verse 39, he says, "they all lived and died
00:16:09.829 --> 00:16:11.164

A source of salvation. abraham believed in genesis 22
00:16:35.388 --> 00:16:38.158
Abraham believed in genesis 22 that the ram that was caught
00:16:38.224 --> 00:16:39.092
That the ram that was caught in a thicket was a symbol
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.693
In a thicket was a symbol and a type and a shadow
00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:41.628
And a type and a shadow of the spotless lamb

And he was the one who fulfilled every prophecy
00:17:09.923 --> 00:17:11.391
Who fulfilled every prophecy right down to the line
00:17:11.458 --> 00:17:12.725

Of our faith. if that's not enough evidence,

[cheering and applause]
00:18:32.238 --> 00:18:40.213
And you think it's unreasonable
00:18:40.713 --> 00:18:44.184
And you think it's unreasonable to believe in that after all
00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:47.253
To believe in that after all that he's shown you?
00:18:47.320 --> 00:18:50.523
That he's shown you? "well, i need my senses."
00:18:50.590 --> 00:18:52.125
"well, i need my senses." oh, trust me, you can touch,
00:18:52.192 --> 00:18:53.726
Oh, trust me, you can touch, you can taste, you can smell,
00:18:53.793 --> 00:18:55.461
You can taste, you can smell, you can feel jesus.
00:18:55.528 --> 00:19:01.634
You can feel jesus. you don't need much faith
00:19:01.701 --> 00:19:02.669
You don't need much faith to do great things when
00:19:02.735 --> 00:19:04.170
To do great things when you've got jesus.
00:19:04.237 --> 00:19:06.372
You've got jesus. that's why he said,
00:19:06.439 --> 00:19:07.073
That's why he said, "faith the size
00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:07.941
"faith the size of a mustard seed
00:19:08.007 --> 00:19:09.275
Of a mustard seed can move a mountain."
00:19:09.342 --> 00:19:11.344
Can move a mountain." you just need
00:19:11.411 --> 00:19:11.878
You just need a little bit of him,
00:19:11.945 --> 00:19:12.946
A little bit of him, and it goes a long way.
00:19:13.012 --> 00:19:16.616
And it goes a long way. but there was a problem with
00:19:16.683 --> 00:19:17.784
But there was a problem with those who were around
00:19:17.850 --> 00:19:18.685
Those who were around jesus then,
00:19:18.751 --> 00:19:19.719
Jesus then, and there's a problem with
00:19:19.786 --> 00:19:20.453
And there's a problem with those who are around jesus now.
00:19:20.520 --> 00:19:24.090
Those who are around jesus now. just like he told
00:19:24.157 --> 00:19:24.857
Just like he told the ruler last week,
00:19:24.924 --> 00:19:26.759
The ruler last week, "you are close to the kingdom."
00:19:26.826 --> 00:19:30.730
"you are close to the kingdom." there's many people
00:19:30.797 --> 00:19:31.364
There's many people in this space today
00:19:31.431 --> 00:19:32.398
In this space today who are close to jesus,
00:19:32.465 --> 00:19:34.100
Who are close to jesus, but you're not living with
00:19:34.167 --> 00:19:35.268
But you're not living with even a mustard seed of faith.
00:19:35.335 --> 00:19:38.638
Even a mustard seed of faith. and the reason you are living
00:19:38.705 --> 00:19:39.706
And the reason you are living the life you're living
00:19:39.772 --> 00:19:40.873
The life you're living is because you're trying
00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:42.242
Is because you're trying to mix faith with doubt,
00:19:42.308 --> 00:19:45.712
To mix faith with doubt, and it doesn't work.
00:19:45.778 --> 00:19:48.948
And it doesn't work. when you read what the bible
00:19:49.015 --> 00:19:49.749
When you read what the bible says about doubt, it says,
00:19:49.816 --> 00:19:51.084
Says about doubt, it says, "the one who doubts
00:19:51.150 --> 00:19:51.651
"the one who doubts shall receive nothing."
00:19:51.718 --> 00:19:54.654
Shall receive nothing." and jesus says,
00:19:54.721 --> 00:19:55.188
And jesus says, "just a little bit of faith,
00:19:55.255 --> 00:19:56.189
"just a little bit of faith, just a mustard seed of it
00:19:56.256 --> 00:19:59.759
Just a mustard seed of it and i'll do some
00:19:59.826 --> 00:20:00.226
And i'll do some mountain moving miracles
00:20:00.293 --> 00:20:01.461
Mountain moving miracles in your life."
00:20:01.527 --> 00:20:02.695
[applause]
00:20:04.264 --> 00:20:10.703
Now, where does this
00:20:11.271 --> 00:20:12.205
Now, where does this doubt come from?
00:20:12.272 --> 00:20:14.907
Doubt come from? i would propose to you
00:20:14.974 --> 00:20:15.875
I would propose to you that the doubt comes
00:20:15.942 --> 00:20:17.510
That the doubt comes from a lack of evidence.
00:20:17.577 --> 00:20:20.046
From a lack of evidence. i mean, there's lots of juries
00:20:20.113 --> 00:20:21.314
I mean, there's lots of juries that they let the criminal go.
00:20:21.381 --> 00:20:23.249
That they let the criminal go. why?
00:20:23.316 --> 00:20:23.750
Why? because even though
00:20:23.816 --> 00:20:24.751
Because even though they felt like it was
00:20:24.817 --> 00:20:26.152
They felt like it was good to convict,
00:20:26.219 --> 00:20:27.820
Good to convict, they didn't have
00:20:27.887 --> 00:20:28.388
They didn't have enough what?
00:20:28.454 --> 00:20:29.522
Enough what? evidence.
00:20:29.589 --> 00:20:31.658
Evidence. jesus, whenever he was
00:20:31.724 --> 00:20:32.792
Jesus, whenever he was dealing with his disciples,
00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:34.027
Dealing with his disciples, he often said to them,
00:20:34.093 --> 00:20:35.828
He often said to them, "oh, you of little faith,
00:20:35.895 --> 00:20:36.763
"oh, you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
00:20:36.829 --> 00:20:39.098
Why did you doubt?" and what he was
00:20:39.165 --> 00:20:39.899
And what he was saying to them is,
00:20:39.966 --> 00:20:40.867
Saying to them is, "i have given you enough
00:20:40.933 --> 00:20:42.402
"i have given you enough evidence that you should know
00:20:42.468 --> 00:20:45.438
Evidence that you should know who i am and what i can do."
00:20:45.505 --> 00:20:49.075
Who i am and what i can do." i'll prove it to you
00:20:49.142 --> 00:20:50.243
I'll prove it to you in one story.
00:20:50.310 --> 00:20:52.478
In one story. matthew 14:31,
00:20:52.545 --> 00:20:54.914
Matthew 14:31, jesus is talking to peter.
00:20:54.981 --> 00:20:56.082
Jesus is talking to peter. peter and jesus have just
00:20:56.149 --> 00:20:57.150
Peter and jesus have just taken a walk on the water.
00:20:57.216 --> 00:21:00.219
Taken a walk on the water. and jesus is pulling peter
00:21:00.286 --> 00:21:01.354
And jesus is pulling peter out of the water.
00:21:01.421 --> 00:21:03.189
Out of the water. and he says to him,
00:21:03.256 --> 00:21:04.223
And he says to him, "oh, you of little faith.
00:21:04.290 --> 00:21:05.525
"oh, you of little faith. why did you doubt?"
00:21:05.591 --> 00:21:08.194
Why did you doubt?" he scolded the guy.
00:21:08.261 --> 00:21:09.028
And the reason he was
00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:11.931
And the reason he was upset about this
00:21:11.998 --> 00:21:14.033
Upset about this is because in matthew 8,
00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:17.937
Is because in matthew 8, they were in another storm.
00:21:18.004 --> 00:21:19.806
They were in another storm. and in this particular storm,
00:21:19.872 --> 00:21:22.275
And in this particular storm, the winds and the waves were
00:21:22.342 --> 00:21:23.443
The winds and the waves were beating on the side of the boat
00:21:23.509 --> 00:21:24.444
Beating on the side of the boat and jesus was asleep
00:21:24.510 --> 00:21:25.445
And jesus was asleep in the back of the boat.
00:21:25.511 --> 00:21:27.413
In the back of the boat. and while he's asleep
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.247
And while he's asleep in the back of the boat,
00:21:28.314 --> 00:21:29.048
In the back of the boat, peter yells at jesus,
00:21:29.115 --> 00:21:30.616
Peter yells at jesus, "do you not care?
00:21:30.683 --> 00:21:32.752
"do you not care? we're gonna die."
00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:35.088
We're gonna die." and jesus stands up
00:21:35.154 --> 00:21:36.789
And jesus stands up and he says, "peace be still."
00:21:36.856 --> 00:21:39.392
And he says, "peace be still." he calmed the winds
00:21:39.459 --> 00:21:40.827
He calmed the winds and the waves.
00:21:40.893 --> 00:21:41.227
And the waves. and the bible says in that
00:21:41.294 --> 00:21:42.495
And the bible says in that chapter that they were amazed
00:21:42.562 --> 00:21:44.330
Chapter that they were amazed at what jesus did.
00:21:44.397 --> 00:21:45.598
At what jesus did. what just happened?
00:21:45.665 --> 00:21:46.699
What just happened? jesus gave them evidence.
00:21:46.766 --> 00:21:51.037
Jesus gave them evidence. he gave them enough that
00:21:51.104 --> 00:21:52.338
He gave them enough that they could draw from
00:21:52.405 --> 00:21:53.840
They could draw from that the next time
00:21:53.906 --> 00:21:54.507
That the next time they were in a storm,
00:21:54.574 --> 00:21:56.576
They were in a storm, they shouldn't worry
00:21:56.642 --> 00:21:57.243
They shouldn't worry about the storm.
00:21:57.310 --> 00:21:59.145
About the storm. because if he can
00:21:59.212 --> 00:21:59.879
Because if he can calm that storm,
00:21:59.946 --> 00:22:01.214
Calm that storm, then there's not a storm
00:22:01.280 --> 00:22:02.448
Then there's not a storm that he can't talk to
00:22:02.515 --> 00:22:04.250
That he can't talk to and make it quit.
00:22:04.317 --> 00:22:06.052
And make it quit. and instead of having enough
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:06.986
And instead of having enough faith to walk on the water
00:22:07.053 --> 00:22:09.288
Faith to walk on the water and look at the waves and go,
00:22:09.355 --> 00:22:10.790
And look at the waves and go, "you can't touch me.
00:22:10.857 --> 00:22:11.758
"you can't touch me. i have jesus."
00:22:11.824 --> 00:22:12.859
I have jesus." and tell the wind,
00:22:12.925 --> 00:22:13.826
And tell the wind, "you can blow
00:22:13.893 --> 00:22:14.460
"you can blow as hard as you want.
00:22:14.527 --> 00:22:15.495
As hard as you want. it's not gonna affect me.
00:22:15.561 --> 00:22:16.796
It's not gonna affect me. i've got jesus.
00:22:16.863 --> 00:22:17.930
I've got jesus. i'm working with somebody
00:22:17.997 --> 00:22:19.132
I'm working with somebody who can do more than i can
00:22:19.198 --> 00:22:20.967
Who can do more than i can ask, think or imagine.
00:22:21.033 --> 00:22:22.168
Ask, think or imagine. and there isn't anything
00:22:22.235 --> 00:22:23.403
And there isn't anything that you can do about it.
00:22:23.469 --> 00:22:24.537
That you can do about it. go ahead and blow, wind.
00:22:24.604 --> 00:22:26.172
Go ahead and blow, wind. go ahead and rock, waves.
00:22:26.239 --> 00:22:27.840
Go ahead and rock, waves. i'm walking on the water
00:22:27.907 --> 00:22:29.075
I'm walking on the water because of jesus."
00:22:29.142 --> 00:22:30.009
[applause]
00:22:30.343 --> 00:22:33.045
But instead,
00:22:34.814 --> 00:22:35.114
But instead, he let the circumstance
00:22:35.181 --> 00:22:36.082
He let the circumstance dictate the feeling,
00:22:36.149 --> 00:22:38.484
Dictate the feeling, and it distracted him from
00:22:38.551 --> 00:22:40.119
And it distracted him from what his faith was focused on,
00:22:40.186 --> 00:22:43.423
What his faith was focused on, and he started to drown.
00:22:43.489 --> 00:22:45.625
And he started to drown. and i would propose to you that
00:22:45.691 --> 00:22:47.293
And i would propose to you that there's just as many people
00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:48.227
There's just as many people drowning in a storm
00:22:48.294 --> 00:22:49.729
Drowning in a storm of circumstances here today
00:22:49.796 --> 00:22:52.665
Of circumstances here today and watching by television,
00:22:52.732 --> 00:22:56.369
And watching by television, that even though jesus has been
00:22:56.436 --> 00:22:57.870
That even though jesus has been faithful to you in your past,
00:22:57.937 --> 00:23:01.340
Faithful to you in your past, you're worrying right now
00:23:01.407 --> 00:23:02.308
You're worrying right now if he can do it again.
00:23:02.375 --> 00:23:03.075
Church, he's a faithful god.
00:23:05.011 --> 00:23:08.014
Church, he's a faithful god. he's a faithful god.
00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:09.982
He's a faithful god. he's a faithful god.
00:23:10.049 --> 00:23:11.651
[applause]
00:23:12.018 --> 00:23:14.554
So, how do you access
00:23:15.488 --> 00:23:16.022
So, how do you access that promise?
00:23:16.088 --> 00:23:18.224
That promise? have faith in god.
00:23:18.291 --> 00:23:21.994
Have faith in god. say it with me,
00:23:22.061 --> 00:23:23.062
Say it with me, "have faith in god."
00:23:23.129 --> 00:23:27.633
"have faith in god." i want you to stand
00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:28.334
I want you to stand to your feet.
00:23:28.401 --> 00:23:31.704
To your feet. and there's some place
00:23:31.771 --> 00:23:32.205
And there's some place in your life today where
00:23:32.271 --> 00:23:33.239
In your life today where you're going through a storm.

You're going through a storm. there's some need that you have.
00:23:36.108 --> 00:23:40.546
There's some need that you have. god already knows all about it.
00:23:40.613 --> 00:23:43.516
God already knows all about it. but rather than use
00:23:43.583 --> 00:23:44.550
But rather than use the word of god and faith,
00:23:44.617 --> 00:23:47.620
The word of god and faith, you're standing here
00:23:47.687 --> 00:23:48.488
You're standing here drowning in doubt,
00:23:48.554 --> 00:23:50.923
Drowning in doubt, wondering if he's gonna
00:23:50.990 --> 00:23:51.858
Wondering if he's gonna come through again.
00:23:51.924 --> 00:23:54.193
Come through again. well, today we're gonna do
00:23:54.260 --> 00:23:55.194
