I want to show you in the scripture how to follow
00:00:14.642 --> 00:00:15.876
In the scripture how to follow the signs so that you can walk
00:00:15.943 --> 00:00:17.978
The signs so that you can walk the path of righteousness
00:00:18.045 --> 00:00:19.413
The path of righteousness and be willing and obedient,

And be willing and obedient, and receive the blessings

And receive the blessings of god.
00:00:22.716 --> 00:00:24.118
Of god. that's the message
00:00:24.185 --> 00:00:24.819
That's the message of deuteronomy 6.
00:00:24.885 --> 00:00:26.387
Of deuteronomy 6. deuteronomy 6 tells us
00:00:26.454 --> 00:00:27.688
Deuteronomy 6 tells us very clearly that,
00:00:27.755 --> 00:00:29.023
Very clearly that, "god told the children
00:00:29.090 --> 00:00:29.990
"god told the children of israel,
00:00:30.057 --> 00:00:30.624
Of israel, here's what you're going to do.
00:00:30.691 --> 00:00:32.693
Here's what you're going to do. you're going to teach
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:34.095
You're going to teach your children diligently."
00:00:34.161 --> 00:00:36.864
Your children diligently." that word "diligently"
00:00:36.931 --> 00:00:37.965
That word "diligently" does not mean on occasion;
00:00:38.032 --> 00:00:39.500
Does not mean on occasion; it means constantly,
00:00:39.567 --> 00:00:41.535
It means constantly, consistently,
00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:42.903
Consistently, compassionately,
00:00:42.970 --> 00:00:44.038
Compassionately, diligently.
00:00:44.105 --> 00:00:45.940
Diligently. you're going to teach them
00:00:46.006 --> 00:00:46.740
You're going to teach them that, one,
00:00:46.807 --> 00:00:47.374
That, one, there is only one god,
00:00:47.441 --> 00:00:49.443
There is only one god, and then you're going to teach
00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:50.311
And then you're going to teach them how to love that god
00:00:50.377 --> 00:00:51.745
Them how to love that god with all of their heart,
00:00:51.812 --> 00:00:52.480
With all of their heart, with all of their soul,
00:00:52.546 --> 00:00:53.314
With all of their soul, with all of their mind,
00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:54.215
With all of their mind, with all of their strength.
00:00:54.281 --> 00:00:56.584
With all of their strength. and he said,
00:00:56.650 --> 00:00:57.051
And he said, "there's going to be signs that
00:00:57.118 --> 00:00:58.385
"there's going to be signs that you're going to use to
00:00:58.452 --> 00:00:59.453
You're going to use to demonstrate this faith that you
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.088
Demonstrate this faith that you have in god."
00:01:01.155 --> 00:01:03.157
Have in god." people should be able to watch
00:01:03.224 --> 00:01:04.458
People should be able to watch your conduct and know what
00:01:04.525 --> 00:01:06.293
Your conduct and know what you believe.
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:08.863
You believe. the way that they used to say
00:01:08.929 --> 00:01:09.730
The way that they used to say it was,
00:01:09.797 --> 00:01:10.264
It was, "practice what you preach."
00:01:10.331 --> 00:01:14.001
"practice what you preach." but said simply,
00:01:14.068 --> 00:01:15.169
But said simply, you do not believe
00:01:15.236 --> 00:01:16.537
You do not believe and then behave;
00:01:16.604 --> 00:01:17.571
And then behave; you behave like you believe.
00:01:17.638 --> 00:01:20.341
You behave like you believe. people should be able to tell
00:01:20.407 --> 00:01:21.709
People should be able to tell by your conduct who you believe

By your conduct who you believe in and what he means to you.
00:01:23.744 --> 00:01:26.680
In and what he means to you. and in deuteronomy 6,
00:01:26.747 --> 00:01:28.149
And in deuteronomy 6, there's a simple sign that's
00:01:28.215 --> 00:01:29.850
There's a simple sign that's given.
00:01:29.917 --> 00:01:31.886
Given. in verse 8, it says,
00:01:31.952 --> 00:01:33.053
In verse 8, it says, "you shall bind them as a sign
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.956
"you shall bind them as a sign on your hand,
00:01:36.023 --> 00:01:37.258
On your hand, and they shall be as frontlets
00:01:37.324 --> 00:01:39.093
And they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:40.227
Between your eyes. and you shall write them on
00:01:40.294 --> 00:01:41.462
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house."
00:01:41.529 --> 00:01:43.030
The doorposts of your house." this is speaking directly to
00:01:43.097 --> 00:01:45.099
This is speaking directly to the phylactery that you see,
00:01:45.166 --> 00:01:46.767
The phylactery that you see, the orthodox men wear
00:01:46.834 --> 00:01:48.435
The orthodox men wear after the age of 13.
00:01:48.502 --> 00:01:49.937
After the age of 13. thirteen is whenever they're
00:01:50.004 --> 00:01:51.038
Thirteen is whenever they're considered fully mature
00:01:51.105 --> 00:01:52.306
Considered fully mature and they're a part of
00:01:52.373 --> 00:01:52.907
And they're a part of the congregation,
00:01:52.973 --> 00:01:53.908
The congregation, so they receive
00:01:53.974 --> 00:01:54.842
So they receive at their bar mitzvah
00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:56.010
At their bar mitzvah the symbol of the word of god.
00:01:56.076 --> 00:01:57.978
The symbol of the word of god. and they wrap it around
00:01:58.045 --> 00:01:59.046
And they wrap it around their hand whenever they go
00:01:59.113 --> 00:02:00.447
Their hand whenever they go to prayer,
00:02:00.514 --> 00:02:01.115
To prayer, and they put it on their eyes
00:02:01.182 --> 00:02:02.483
And they put it on their eyes right here between the front
00:02:02.550 --> 00:02:04.385
Right here between the front of their forehead,
00:02:04.451 --> 00:02:05.052
Of their forehead, so that whenever they look up,
00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:06.554
So that whenever they look up, they're looking through
00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:07.588
They're looking through the word of god.
00:02:07.655 --> 00:02:09.490
The word of god. it's a sign.
00:02:09.557 --> 00:02:10.824
It's a sign. but here's the thing about
00:02:10.891 --> 00:02:11.659
But here's the thing about the sign.
00:02:11.725 --> 00:02:12.560
The sign. you need to recognize it's not
00:02:12.626 --> 00:02:14.228
You need to recognize it's not the symbol;
00:02:14.295 --> 00:02:15.129
The symbol; it's the source.
00:02:15.196 --> 00:02:18.065
It's the source. oftentimes,
00:02:18.132 --> 00:02:18.966
Oftentimes, we want to touch the sign,
00:02:19.033 --> 00:02:20.467
We want to touch the sign, and we believe that the sign
00:02:20.534 --> 00:02:22.002
And we believe that the sign is enough,
00:02:22.069 --> 00:02:22.636
Is enough, but it's never the sign;
00:02:22.703 --> 00:02:23.938
But it's never the sign; it's always the source.
00:02:24.004 --> 00:02:26.840
It's always the source. it's not the sign of what's
00:02:26.907 --> 00:02:28.409
It's not the sign of what's been wrapped around their hand.
00:02:28.475 --> 00:02:29.677
Been wrapped around their hand. it's the source behind it.
00:02:29.743 --> 00:02:31.545
It's the source behind it. the sign is,
00:02:31.612 --> 00:02:32.346
The sign is, this is the word of god,
00:02:32.413 --> 00:02:33.681
This is the word of god, but the reality is,
00:02:33.747 --> 00:02:34.715
But the reality is, the word of god itself
00:02:34.782 --> 00:02:36.283
The word of god itself is holy spirit inspired.
00:02:36.350 --> 00:02:38.018
Is holy spirit inspired. and all of it is good.
00:02:38.085 --> 00:02:39.954
And all of it is good. there's not one part of
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:41.021
There's not one part of this book that's bad for you.
00:02:41.088 --> 00:02:42.990
This book that's bad for you. [amen.]

"you shall teach them diligently to your children,
00:02:54.468 --> 00:02:57.004
Diligently to your children, this is what an orthodox man

This is what an orthodox man wearing the phylacteries
00:02:58.973 --> 00:03:00.040

This is where they wear it when they go to pray and they spend

Reading from deuteronomy is almost 4,000 years old,
00:03:15.990 --> 00:03:18.525
Is almost 4,000 years old, and these pictures were taken
00:03:18.592 --> 00:03:20.294
And these pictures were taken in recent history.
00:03:20.361 --> 00:03:21.362
In recent history. why?
00:03:21.428 --> 00:03:21.962
Why? because they have been faithful

Because they have been faithful to diligently teach it
00:03:23.497 --> 00:03:24.665
To diligently teach it to their children.
00:03:24.732 --> 00:03:25.499
To their children. this is a young man praying on

Receiving the traditions of the word of god.
00:03:37.811 --> 00:03:38.879
Of the word of god. why?
00:03:38.946 --> 00:03:40.281

That they are faithful and they are obedient.
00:03:42.816 --> 00:03:45.486
And they are obedient. now god being the true
00:03:45.552 --> 00:03:47.321
Now god being the true supernatural and practical
00:03:47.388 --> 00:03:49.256
Supernatural and practical genius that he is,
00:03:49.323 --> 00:03:52.393
Genius that he is, not only did he ask
00:03:52.459 --> 00:03:53.360
Not only did he ask his children to do this
00:03:53.427 --> 00:03:54.328
His children to do this for the purpose of obedience,
00:03:54.395 --> 00:03:55.863
For the purpose of obedience, but think about the practical
00:03:55.929 --> 00:03:57.131
But think about the practical moment.
00:03:57.197 --> 00:03:57.531
Moment. god understands the curiosity

God understands the curiosity of children.
00:03:59.266 --> 00:03:59.800
Of children. how many of you have kids
00:03:59.867 --> 00:04:00.801
How many of you have kids that knew how to ask why?
00:04:00.868 --> 00:04:03.671
That knew how to ask why? god knew that when kids saw
00:04:03.737 --> 00:04:05.172
God knew that when kids saw something that didn't make
00:04:05.239 --> 00:04:06.340
Something that didn't make reasonable sense,
00:04:06.407 --> 00:04:07.241
Reasonable sense, they would ask why.
00:04:07.308 --> 00:04:09.343
They would ask why. so whenever a child saw

Over his eyes, and begin to pray,

He would ask, "why? dad, why do you do that?
00:04:17.851 --> 00:04:19.053
Dad, why do you do that? dad, why do you do this?
00:04:19.119 --> 00:04:20.487
Dad, why do you do this? dad why, dad why, dad why?"
00:04:20.554 --> 00:04:22.756
Dad why, dad why, dad why?" and because he wanted fathers

Moment for the children to be able to hear why dad did what
00:04:29.596 --> 00:04:31.632

To come, what is the meaning

00:04:47.047 --> 00:04:47.915
In verse 21, it says, "and then you
00:04:47.981 --> 00:04:49.083
It says, "and then you shall say to your son,
00:04:49.149 --> 00:04:50.818
Shall say to your son, 'we were slaves to pharaoh
00:04:50.884 --> 00:04:52.953
'we were slaves to pharaoh in egypt,
00:04:53.020 --> 00:04:54.421
In egypt, and the lord brought us out
00:04:54.488 --> 00:04:56.790
And the lord brought us out with his mighty hand.'"
00:04:56.857 --> 00:04:59.293
With his mighty hand.'" what is it that we're supposed
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:00.494
What is it that we're supposed to teach our children
00:05:00.561 --> 00:05:01.595
To teach our children when they see the signs
00:05:01.662 --> 00:05:03.030
When they see the signs of our christian behavior?
00:05:03.097 --> 00:05:05.466
Of our christian behavior? we're not supposed to teach
00:05:05.532 --> 00:05:06.367
We're not supposed to teach them,
00:05:06.433 --> 00:05:06.967
Them, "well, this is just what they
00:05:07.034 --> 00:05:07.701
"well, this is just what they showed us at sunday school."
00:05:07.768 --> 00:05:08.802
Showed us at sunday school." no.
00:05:08.869 --> 00:05:09.470
No. what we're supposed to teach
00:05:09.536 --> 00:05:10.304
What we're supposed to teach them is,
00:05:10.371 --> 00:05:10.938
Them is, "we were once slaves,
00:05:11.004 --> 00:05:12.773
"we were once slaves, but the lord brought us out
00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:14.908
But the lord brought us out with his mighty hand."
00:05:14.975 --> 00:05:17.077
With his mighty hand." "dad, why do you do
00:05:17.144 --> 00:05:18.212
"dad, why do you do what you do?"
00:05:18.278 --> 00:05:19.246
What you do?" "i do what i do because i was
00:05:19.313 --> 00:05:21.348
"i do what i do because i was once bound by sin,
00:05:21.415 --> 00:05:23.450
Once bound by sin, but the lord brought me out
00:05:23.517 --> 00:05:25.319
But the lord brought me out with his mighty hand."
00:05:25.386 --> 00:05:26.720
With his mighty hand." "why do you raise your hands
00:05:26.787 --> 00:05:28.155
"why do you raise your hands in worship?"
00:05:28.222 --> 00:05:29.123
In worship?" "because i was once blind,
00:05:29.189 --> 00:05:31.024
"because i was once blind, but now, by the mighty hand
00:05:31.091 --> 00:05:32.693
But now, by the mighty hand of god,
00:05:32.760 --> 00:05:33.394
Of god, i see that he is the creator
00:05:33.460 --> 00:05:35.295
I see that he is the creator of heaven and earth,
00:05:35.362 --> 00:05:36.397
Of heaven and earth, and he is great and greatly
00:05:36.463 --> 00:05:37.865
And he is great and greatly to be praised."
00:05:37.931 --> 00:05:38.899
To be praised." "dad, why do you give what
00:05:38.966 --> 00:05:40.601
"dad, why do you give what you give?"
00:05:40.667 --> 00:05:41.335
You give?" "i give what i give
00:05:41.402 --> 00:05:42.669
"i give what i give because i was once in poverty,
00:05:42.736 --> 00:05:44.671
Because i was once in poverty, but he took on poverty
00:05:44.738 --> 00:05:46.106
But he took on poverty for my sake
00:05:46.173 --> 00:05:47.074
For my sake so that i could become
00:05:47.141 --> 00:05:47.975
So that i could become the blessed and highly favored
00:05:48.041 --> 00:05:49.476
The blessed and highly favored of the lord and see that he has
00:05:49.543 --> 00:05:51.311
Of the lord and see that he has freely given me all things.
00:05:51.378 --> 00:05:53.313
Freely given me all things. they should see how much
00:05:53.380 --> 00:05:54.648
They should see how much you love him.
00:05:54.715 --> 00:05:55.616
You love him. they should know how much
00:05:55.682 --> 00:05:56.850
They should know how much he's done for you.
00:05:56.917 --> 00:05:58.185
He's done for you. and when they ask you,
00:05:58.252 --> 00:05:59.319
And when they ask you, don't shrug your shoulders.
00:05:59.386 --> 00:06:00.821
Don't shrug your shoulders. tell them,
00:06:00.888 --> 00:06:01.355
Tell them, "i was once a slave
00:06:01.422 --> 00:06:03.056
"i was once a slave but whom the son sets free
00:06:03.123 --> 00:06:05.325
But whom the son sets free is free indeed!"
00:06:05.392 --> 00:06:07.728
Is free indeed!" give the lord a handclap
00:06:07.795 --> 00:06:09.229
Give the lord a handclap in this house!
00:06:09.296 --> 00:06:11.265
In this house! (applause)
00:06:11.331 --> 00:06:15.636
(applause) so where do we start?
00:06:15.702 --> 00:06:16.670
So where do we start? you start at your table.
00:06:16.737 --> 00:06:19.540
You start at your table. that's what deuteronomy 6 says.
00:06:19.606 --> 00:06:21.608
That's what deuteronomy 6 says. it says,
00:06:21.675 --> 00:06:22.042
It says, "you shall teach them
00:06:22.109 --> 00:06:23.977
"you shall teach them diligently."
00:06:24.044 --> 00:06:25.813
Diligently." verse 7,
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:26.413
Verse 7, it says,
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:26.947
It says, "teach them when you sit
00:06:27.014 --> 00:06:28.782
"teach them when you sit in your home."
00:06:28.849 --> 00:06:29.616
In your home." that's speaking about
00:06:29.683 --> 00:06:30.551
That's speaking about the dinner table.
00:06:30.617 --> 00:06:31.285
The dinner table. how many of you regularly make
00:06:31.351 --> 00:06:32.953
How many of you regularly make a habit of sitting down
00:06:33.020 --> 00:06:34.221
A habit of sitting down with your family for dinner?
00:06:34.288 --> 00:06:36.824
With your family for dinner? if you don't,
00:06:36.890 --> 00:06:37.858
If you don't, you should.
00:06:37.925 --> 00:06:40.027
You should. your life should not be
00:06:40.093 --> 00:06:41.428
Your life should not be individuals who share
00:06:41.495 --> 00:06:42.629
Individuals who share the same space.
00:06:42.696 --> 00:06:43.630
The same space. you need to do life
00:06:43.697 --> 00:06:44.832
You need to do life with your family,
00:06:44.898 --> 00:06:45.799
With your family, and that begins at
00:06:45.866 --> 00:06:46.934
And that begins at the dinner table.
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.102
The dinner table. (applause)
00:06:49.169 --> 00:06:54.274
(applause) it says,
00:06:54.341 --> 00:06:54.741
It says, "when you sit in your home."
00:06:54.808 --> 00:06:55.609
"when you sit in your home." it says,
00:06:55.676 --> 00:06:56.109
It says, "when you walk by the way."
00:06:56.176 --> 00:06:58.011
"when you walk by the way." that means as you go through
00:06:58.078 --> 00:06:59.079
That means as you go through life and god does things
00:06:59.146 --> 00:07:01.081
Life and god does things that prove he's faithful,
00:07:01.148 --> 00:07:02.249
That prove he's faithful, you need to point out
00:07:02.316 --> 00:07:03.183
You need to point out his faithfulness
00:07:03.250 --> 00:07:04.151
His faithfulness to your children.
00:07:04.218 --> 00:07:06.420
To your children. and then it says,
00:07:06.487 --> 00:07:07.054
And then it says, "when you rise up
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:08.088
"when you rise up and when you lie down."
00:07:08.155 --> 00:07:09.323
And when you lie down." this speaks about priority,
00:07:09.389 --> 00:07:10.791
This speaks about priority, the word of god should be
00:07:10.858 --> 00:07:11.925
The word of god should be important all day long.
00:07:11.992 --> 00:07:15.963
Important all day long. and you teach it
00:07:16.029 --> 00:07:17.231
And you teach it to your children.
00:07:17.297 --> 00:07:19.199
To your children. when you teach it
00:07:19.266 --> 00:07:20.000
When you teach it to your children,
00:07:20.067 --> 00:07:21.001
To your children, the bible gives us
00:07:21.068 --> 00:07:22.035
The bible gives us this promise;
00:07:22.102 --> 00:07:22.703
This promise; it says, "if you teach them,
00:07:22.769 --> 00:07:24.371
It says, "if you teach them, they will live on the good
00:07:24.438 --> 00:07:25.939
They will live on the good of the land."
00:07:26.006 --> 00:07:28.208
Of the land." remember the "if"
00:07:28.275 --> 00:07:29.009
Remember the "if" is always in us.
00:07:29.076 --> 00:07:31.812
Is always in us. deuteronomy 6:11,
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.113
Deuteronomy 6:11, it says, "teach your children,
00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:34.681
It says, "teach your children, and they'll live in houses
00:07:34.748 --> 00:07:35.682
And they'll live in houses they didn't build.
00:07:35.749 --> 00:07:36.717
They didn't build. they'll eat from vineyards
00:07:36.783 --> 00:07:37.618
They'll eat from vineyards they didn't plant.
00:07:37.684 --> 00:07:38.552
They didn't plant. they'll live under olive trees
00:07:38.619 --> 00:07:40.287
They'll live under olive trees that they did not have
00:07:40.354 --> 00:07:41.088
That they did not have to harvest from.
00:07:41.154 --> 00:07:42.389
To harvest from. if an enemy comes,
00:07:42.456 --> 00:07:43.790
If an enemy comes, i'll drive them out
00:07:43.857 --> 00:07:44.958
I'll drive them out before you."
00:07:45.025 --> 00:07:45.592
Before you." now how many of you want
00:07:45.659 --> 00:07:46.627
Now how many of you want those kinds of promises
00:07:46.693 --> 00:07:47.761
Those kinds of promises from god?
00:07:47.828 --> 00:07:49.062
From god? then obey his word.
00:07:49.129 --> 00:07:52.332
Then obey his word. god expects us to teach
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.101
God expects us to teach our children how to follow him.
00:07:54.167 --> 00:07:57.304
Our children how to follow him. and let me tell you something,
00:07:57.371 --> 00:07:58.438
And let me tell you something, there are so many things
00:07:58.505 --> 00:07:59.573
There are so many things that we've given our kids
00:07:59.640 --> 00:08:00.774
That we've given our kids in this life
00:08:00.841 --> 00:08:01.608
In this life that they don't need.
00:08:01.675 --> 00:08:03.644
That they don't need. [amen.]
00:08:03.710 --> 00:08:04.077
[amen.] the one thing that they
00:08:04.144 --> 00:08:05.178
The one thing that they cannot get out of life
00:08:05.245 --> 00:08:06.613
Cannot get out of life without is jesus christ
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.582
Without is jesus christ in their heart, soul,
00:08:08.649 --> 00:08:09.716
In their heart, soul, mind, and body.
00:08:09.783 --> 00:08:10.884
Mind, and body. if you give your children
00:08:10.951 --> 00:08:12.452
If you give your children anything in this life,
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.321
Anything in this life, make sure that you give them
00:08:14.388 --> 00:08:15.923
Make sure that you give them jesus,
00:08:15.989 --> 00:08:16.924
Jesus, because he is the source
00:08:16.990 --> 00:08:18.158
Because he is the source of life.
00:08:18.225 --> 00:08:18.859
Of life. he is the source of strength.
00:08:18.926 --> 00:08:20.527
He is the source of strength. he is the source of hope.
00:08:20.594 --> 00:08:21.995
He is the source of hope. he is the source of confidence.
00:08:22.062 --> 00:08:23.897
He is the source of confidence. they can live without the rest,
00:08:23.964 --> 00:08:25.666
They can live without the rest, but they cannot live
00:08:25.732 --> 00:08:26.967
But they cannot live without him!
00:08:27.034 --> 00:08:29.836
Without him! (applause)
00:08:29.903 --> 00:08:34.474
(applause) so how do you do that?
00:08:34.541 --> 00:08:36.643
So how do you do that? you teach your children
00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:38.712
You teach your children to follow the signs.
00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:41.214
To follow the signs. you teach them what the bible
00:08:41.281 --> 00:08:42.716
You teach them what the bible says,
00:08:42.783 --> 00:08:44.184
Says, that "thy word is a lamp
00:08:44.251 --> 00:08:45.552
That "thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light
00:08:45.619 --> 00:08:47.287
Unto my feet and a light unto my path."
00:08:47.354 --> 00:08:48.221
Unto my path." this written book gives you
00:08:48.288 --> 00:08:50.290
This written book gives you instructions on how to get
00:08:50.357 --> 00:08:51.792
Instructions on how to get through life.
00:08:51.858 --> 00:08:53.493
Through life. some people say, b-i-b-l-e,
00:08:53.560 --> 00:08:55.329
Some people say, b-i-b-l-e, basic instructions
00:08:55.395 --> 00:08:56.496
Basic instructions before leaving earth."
00:08:56.563 --> 00:08:58.465
Before leaving earth." [amen.]
00:08:58.532 --> 00:08:59.866
[amen.] now i don't think that's why
00:08:59.933 --> 00:09:00.567
Now i don't think that's why we call it the bible,
00:09:00.634 --> 00:09:03.203
We call it the bible, but psalms 119 says,
00:09:03.270 --> 00:09:04.605
But psalms 119 says, "thy word is a lamp unto
00:09:04.671 --> 00:09:06.106
"thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light
00:09:06.173 --> 00:09:07.274
My feet and a light unto my path."
00:09:07.341 --> 00:09:09.076
Unto my path." that means that the written
00:09:09.142 --> 00:09:10.010
That means that the written word shows you the next step
00:09:10.077 --> 00:09:12.346
Word shows you the next step that you should take.
00:09:12.412 --> 00:09:14.748
That you should take. now the old testament
00:09:14.815 --> 00:09:15.649
Now the old testament and the new testament give us
00:09:15.716 --> 00:09:17.017
And the new testament give us this instruction,
00:09:17.084 --> 00:09:17.985
This instruction, "the just shall live by faith."
00:09:18.051 --> 00:09:19.953
"the just shall live by faith." say that with me.
00:09:20.020 --> 00:09:21.021
Say that with me. "the just shall live by faith."
00:09:21.088 --> 00:09:23.023
"the just shall live by faith." so where does faith come from?
00:09:23.090 --> 00:09:24.725
So where does faith come from? romans 10:17, it says,
00:09:24.791 --> 00:09:26.426
Romans 10:17, it says, "faith comes from hearing,
00:09:26.493 --> 00:09:28.762
"faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word
00:09:28.829 --> 00:09:30.631
And hearing by the word of god."
00:09:30.697 --> 00:09:31.865
Of god." now there's two types
00:09:31.932 --> 00:09:33.000
Now there's two types of hearing that are spoken of
00:09:33.066 --> 00:09:34.935
Of hearing that are spoken of here.
00:09:35.002 --> 00:09:35.502
Here. first, there is the hearing
00:09:35.569 --> 00:09:37.070
First, there is the hearing of the written word,
00:09:37.137 --> 00:09:38.338
Of the written word, and then there is the hearing
00:09:38.405 --> 00:09:40.040
And then there is the hearing of the spoken word.
00:09:40.107 --> 00:09:42.309
Of the spoken word. you say, "well,
00:09:42.376 --> 00:09:42.843

That what you were reading was for you?
00:09:48.582 --> 00:09:49.583

00:09:59.493 --> 00:10:01.261
About you. and the argument that you're
00:10:01.328 --> 00:10:02.162

00:10:02.229 --> 00:10:03.497
Having with yourself about what you're reading,
00:10:03.563 --> 00:10:04.197
What you're reading, that argument's about you.
00:10:04.264 --> 00:10:07.601
That argument's about you. that's what hearing
00:10:07.668 --> 00:10:08.769
That's what hearing from the word of god means.
00:10:08.835 --> 00:10:10.070
From the word of god means. you're reading it and it's
00:10:10.137 --> 00:10:11.371
You're reading it and it's reflecting its mirror image
00:10:11.438 --> 00:10:13.540
Reflecting its mirror image of your soul.
00:10:13.607 --> 00:10:15.242
Of your soul. and then there's the hearing
00:10:15.308 --> 00:10:16.443
And then there's the hearing that comes from
00:10:16.510 --> 00:10:17.044
That comes from the spoken word.
00:10:17.110 --> 00:10:19.012
The spoken word. the hearing of the written word
00:10:19.079 --> 00:10:20.847
The hearing of the written word is information.
00:10:20.914 --> 00:10:21.948
Is information. the hearing of the spoken word
00:10:22.015 --> 00:10:23.984
The hearing of the spoken word is application,
00:10:24.051 --> 00:10:25.318
Is application, and you need both.
00:10:25.385 --> 00:10:27.621
And you need both. because information
00:10:27.688 --> 00:10:28.789
Because information and application leads to
00:10:28.855 --> 00:10:30.323
And application leads to transformation.
00:10:30.390 --> 00:10:32.325
Transformation. (applause)
00:10:32.392 --> 00:10:37.931
(applause) and that's why the bible says,
00:10:37.998 --> 00:10:39.032
And that's why the bible says, "be ye transformed
00:10:39.099 --> 00:10:40.901
"be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."
00:10:40.967 --> 00:10:42.235
By the renewing of your mind." how do you renew your mind?
00:10:42.302 --> 00:10:43.670

Yield. i'm not even talking
00:14:54.754 --> 00:14:55.355
I'm not even talking spiritually right now.
00:14:55.422 --> 00:14:56.489
Spiritually right now. i'm just talking 1604
00:14:56.556 --> 00:14:58.358
I'm just talking 1604 and stone oak.
00:14:58.425 --> 00:15:00.260
And stone oak. (laughter & applause)
00:15:00.327 --> 00:15:03.063
(laughter & applause) how many of you admit that
00:15:03.129 --> 00:15:04.831
How many of you admit that people struggle with yielding?
00:15:04.898 --> 00:15:07.434
People struggle with yielding? (laughter)
00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:09.002
(laughter) this sign does not mean,
00:15:09.069 --> 00:15:11.037
This sign does not mean, "park and eat a sandwich."
00:15:11.104 --> 00:15:13.740
"park and eat a sandwich." (laughter)
00:15:13.807 --> 00:15:21.681
(laughter) i don't know who taught you
00:15:21.748 --> 00:15:22.716
I don't know who taught you to drive,
00:15:22.782 --> 00:15:24.384
To drive, but they need to be fired.
00:15:24.451 --> 00:15:27.020
But they need to be fired. (laughter)
00:15:27.087 --> 00:15:28.655
(laughter) nor does this sign mean it's a
00:15:28.722 --> 00:15:31.558
Nor does this sign mean it's a personal challenge,
00:15:31.624 --> 00:15:32.726
Personal challenge, slam on the gas and let's see
00:15:32.792 --> 00:15:34.194
Slam on the gas and let's see who wins.
00:15:34.260 --> 00:15:35.895
Who wins. (laughter)
00:15:35.962 --> 00:15:37.630
(laughter) what this sign means
00:15:37.697 --> 00:15:40.066
What this sign means is willingly get in
00:15:40.133 --> 00:15:41.601
Is willingly get in the right place.
00:15:41.668 --> 00:15:44.104
The right place. if you belong in front,
00:15:44.170 --> 00:15:45.305
If you belong in front, get in front.
00:15:45.372 --> 00:15:46.006
Get in front. and if you belong in the back,
00:15:46.072 --> 00:15:47.340
And if you belong in the back, get in the back.
00:15:47.407 --> 00:15:50.143
Get in the back. give way is what the word
00:15:50.210 --> 00:15:52.679
Give way is what the word "yield" means.
00:15:52.746 --> 00:15:54.881
"yield" means. and the bible has yield signs
00:15:54.948 --> 00:15:56.816
And the bible has yield signs all over it.
00:15:56.883 --> 00:15:57.550
All over it. one of them comes from
00:15:57.617 --> 00:15:58.518
One of them comes from james 4:7.
00:15:58.585 --> 00:16:00.653
James 4:7. it says, "submit to god.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.057
It says, "submit to god. resist the devil --"
00:16:04.124 --> 00:16:06.393
Resist the devil --" [amen.]
00:16:06.459 --> 00:16:06.860
[amen.] "-- and he'll flee from you."
00:16:06.926 --> 00:16:08.895
"-- and he'll flee from you." that word "submission"
00:16:08.962 --> 00:16:10.063
That word "submission" literally means yield.
00:16:10.130 --> 00:16:11.831
Literally means yield. whenever it comes to your will
00:16:11.898 --> 00:16:13.633
Whenever it comes to your will and god's will,
00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:14.834
And god's will, let god's will get out front,
00:16:14.901 --> 00:16:17.337
Let god's will get out front, and you go ahead and pull back
00:16:17.404 --> 00:16:18.605
And you go ahead and pull back behind him,
00:16:18.671 --> 00:16:19.672
Behind him, because when he's out front,
00:16:19.739 --> 00:16:21.174
Because when he's out front, you'll go farther and faster
00:16:21.241 --> 00:16:23.043
You'll go farther and faster into greater blessings
00:16:23.109 --> 00:16:24.077
Into greater blessings than you've ever known.
00:16:24.144 --> 00:16:25.111
Than you've ever known. if you get out front,
00:16:25.178 --> 00:16:26.479
If you get out front, then you're in charge of
00:16:26.546 --> 00:16:27.614
Then you're in charge of your provision,
00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:28.648
Your provision, you're in charge of your peace,
00:16:28.715 --> 00:16:30.383
You're in charge of your peace, you're in charge of your joy,
00:16:30.450 --> 00:16:32.118
You're in charge of your joy, you're in charge of

Your health, you're in charge of
00:16:33.887 --> 00:16:34.788
You're in charge of your salvation,
00:16:34.854 --> 00:16:35.688
Your salvation, and you're not enough!
00:16:35.755 --> 00:16:36.823
And you're not enough! but when you yield,
00:16:36.890 --> 00:16:37.824
But when you yield, and the king of kings
00:16:37.891 --> 00:16:39.159
And the king of kings and the lord of lords gets out
00:16:39.225 --> 00:16:40.593
And the lord of lords gets out in front of your life,
00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:41.694
In front of your life, he'll lead you in paths
00:16:41.761 --> 00:16:42.896
He'll lead you in paths of righteousness
00:16:42.962 --> 00:16:43.696
Of righteousness for his name's sake.
00:16:43.763 --> 00:16:45.165
For his name's sake. (applause)
00:16:45.231 --> 00:16:45.765
(applause) you'll walk and not grow weary,
00:16:45.832 --> 00:16:47.033
You'll walk and not grow weary, you'll run and not faint.
00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:48.868
You'll run and not faint. he'll prepare a table
00:16:48.935 --> 00:16:50.003
He'll prepare a table before you in the presence of
00:16:50.070 --> 00:16:51.404
Before you in the presence of your enemies.
00:16:51.471 --> 00:16:52.238
Your enemies. no weapon formed against you
00:16:52.305 --> 00:16:53.907
No weapon formed against you would prosper.
00:16:53.973 --> 00:16:54.741
Would prosper. his angels will go before you
00:16:54.808 --> 00:16:56.409
His angels will go before you and behind you.
00:16:56.476 --> 00:16:57.477
And behind you. he'll open doors that no man
00:16:57.544 --> 00:16:59.145
He'll open doors that no man could open.
00:16:59.212 --> 00:16:59.879
Could open. he'll make a way that no man
00:16:59.946 --> 00:17:01.548
He'll make a way that no man can make.

Can make. child of god,
00:17:02.348 --> 00:17:03.083
Child of god, you can't afford to live
00:17:03.149 --> 00:17:04.484
You can't afford to live without following him!
00:17:04.551 --> 00:17:05.919
Without following him! give yourself to him,
00:17:05.985 --> 00:17:07.253
Give yourself to him, and he'll take care of
00:17:07.320 --> 00:17:08.288
And he'll take care of the rest!
00:17:08.354 --> 00:17:09.889
The rest! (applause)
00:17:09.956 --> 00:17:16.029
(applause) and if your children are going
00:17:16.096 --> 00:17:17.630
And if your children are going to understand what it means
00:17:17.697 --> 00:17:18.765
To understand what it means to yield to god,
00:17:18.832 --> 00:17:20.633
To yield to god, they've got to watch you do it
00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:21.868
They've got to watch you do it first.
00:17:21.935 --> 00:17:24.537
First. and in order to yield to god,
00:17:24.604 --> 00:17:25.905
And in order to yield to god, listen to the verse,
00:17:25.972 --> 00:17:27.340
Listen to the verse, "submit to god,
00:17:27.407 --> 00:17:28.741
"submit to god, resist the devil."
00:17:28.808 --> 00:17:31.978
Resist the devil." the enemy sees what god's
00:17:32.045 --> 00:17:33.480
The enemy sees what god's trying to do in your life,
00:17:33.546 --> 00:17:35.148
Trying to do in your life, and he's going to tell you
00:17:35.215 --> 00:17:35.982
And he's going to tell you "get out front.
00:17:36.049 --> 00:17:38.051
"get out front. you know better,
00:17:38.118 --> 00:17:39.752
You know better, that preacher's wrong again."
00:17:39.819 --> 00:17:43.957
That preacher's wrong again." and when that comes,
00:17:44.023 --> 00:17:44.991
And when that comes, you resist that voice,
00:17:45.058 --> 00:17:46.359
You resist that voice, and you hit the brakes,
00:17:46.426 --> 00:17:47.360
And you hit the brakes, and let god get out front.
00:17:47.427 --> 00:17:50.330
And let god get out front. "in all of your ways,
00:17:50.396 --> 00:17:53.299
"in all of your ways, acknowledge him."
00:17:53.366 --> 00:17:56.269
Acknowledge him." so often,
00:17:56.336 --> 00:17:56.903
So often, we're willing to acknowledge
00:17:56.970 --> 00:17:57.971
We're willing to acknowledge god in the emergency,
00:17:58.037 --> 00:17:59.772
God in the emergency, but we're not willing
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.373
But we're not willing to acknowledge him
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:01.374
To acknowledge him in all of our ways.
00:18:01.441 --> 00:18:04.410
In all of our ways. there's places where we say,
00:18:04.477 --> 00:18:05.311
There's places where we say, "oh god, i've got this."
00:18:05.378 --> 00:18:08.081
"oh god, i've got this." and he says, "okay.
00:18:08.148 --> 00:18:10.483
And he says, "okay. when you're ready to get back
00:18:10.550 --> 00:18:11.251
When you're ready to get back on track,
00:18:11.317 --> 00:18:11.985
On track, just hit the brakes and yield."
00:18:12.051 --> 00:18:16.556
Just hit the brakes and yield." "submit to god,
00:18:16.623 --> 00:18:17.390
"submit to god, resist the devil
00:18:17.457 --> 00:18:19.492
Resist the devil and he'll flee from you."
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.060
And he'll flee from you." if you can't yield,
00:18:21.127 --> 00:18:22.629
If you can't yield, you'll get to learn what
00:18:22.695 --> 00:18:23.463
You'll get to learn what this next sign means.
00:18:23.530 --> 00:18:26.199

The bible says, "and you'll hear a voice
00:18:35.508 --> 00:18:36.709
"and you'll hear a voice from behind you saying --"
00:18:36.776 --> 00:18:38.845
From behind you saying --" that voice is the voice
00:18:38.912 --> 00:18:39.846
That voice is the voice of the holy spirit,
00:18:39.913 --> 00:18:40.713
Of the holy spirit, "-- this is the way,
00:18:40.780 --> 00:18:43.216
"-- this is the way, walk in it."
00:18:43.283 --> 00:18:45.451
Walk in it." that's god's way of saying,
00:18:45.518 --> 00:18:47.086
That's god's way of saying, "stop!"
00:18:47.153 --> 00:18:49.022
"stop!" do you know how many things
00:18:49.088 --> 00:18:50.089
Do you know how many things in your life would work better

In your life would work better if you'd just...

"if we confess our sins." the "if" is in us;
00:19:06.806 --> 00:19:08.441
The "if" is in us; it's never in him.
00:19:08.508 --> 00:19:10.410
It's never in him. "if we confess our sins,

"if we confess our sins, he's faithful and just

To do what the bible calls repentance,
00:19:27.727 --> 00:19:28.628
Repentance, which is basically where
00:19:28.695 --> 00:19:29.662
Which is basically where you decide to stop sinning.

(laughter) but all we've really proven
00:20:20.246 --> 00:20:21.180
But all we've really proven is it's a lot easier said
00:20:21.247 --> 00:20:23.650

This generation like never before.
00:20:55.982 --> 00:20:57.417
Before. the reason why it hasn't
00:20:57.483 --> 00:20:58.584
The reason why it hasn't happened is because sin removes
00:20:58.651 --> 00:21:00.953
Happened is because sin removes you from god's presence,
00:21:01.020 --> 00:21:02.455
