00:00:14.108 --> 00:00:14.809
Pastor matt hagee: john the revelator,
00:00:14.875 --> 00:00:15.342
The revelator, in all that he sees in heaven,
00:00:15.409 --> 00:00:18.512
In all that he sees in heaven, he writes these words,
00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:20.347
He writes these words, "they overcame."
00:00:20.414 --> 00:00:22.083
"they overcame." say that with me.
00:00:22.149 --> 00:00:23.217
Say that with me. "they overcame."
00:00:23.284 --> 00:00:25.252
"they overcame." i want you to understand,
00:00:25.319 --> 00:00:26.887
I want you to understand, "they" means that there's more
00:00:26.954 --> 00:00:29.023
"they" means that there's more than one person in this world
00:00:29.090 --> 00:00:30.558
Than one person in this world with problems,
00:00:30.624 --> 00:00:31.358
With problems, and that person is not just
00:00:31.425 --> 00:00:32.693
And that person is not just you.
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:34.628
You. there's a lot of people
00:00:34.695 --> 00:00:35.496
There's a lot of people that whenever they walk through
00:00:35.563 --> 00:00:36.664
That whenever they walk through hard times,
00:00:36.730 --> 00:00:37.765
Hard times, the first thing that they do
00:00:37.832 --> 00:00:39.233
The first thing that they do is they think that they're
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:40.501
Is they think that they're the only one who has ever
00:00:40.568 --> 00:00:41.936
The only one who has ever suffered.
00:00:42.002 --> 00:00:43.904
Suffered. "why me" is the phrase
00:00:43.971 --> 00:00:46.607
"why me" is the phrase instead of "why we."
00:00:46.674 --> 00:00:49.243
Instead of "why we." think of the song,
00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:50.077
Think of the song, "nobody knows the trouble
00:00:50.144 --> 00:00:51.846
"nobody knows the trouble i feel."
00:00:51.912 --> 00:00:53.747
I feel." that's our attitude.
00:00:53.814 --> 00:00:55.783
That's our attitude. and yet, here in revelation,
00:00:55.850 --> 00:00:56.884
And yet, here in revelation, john says it's not just you.
00:00:56.951 --> 00:00:59.286
John says it's not just you. the good news is there are lots
00:00:59.353 --> 00:01:01.789
The good news is there are lots of people who are suffering.
00:01:01.856 --> 00:01:03.390
Of people who are suffering. don't you feel better?
00:01:03.457 --> 00:01:05.059
Don't you feel better? (laughter)
00:01:05.126 --> 00:01:09.029
(laughter) "they overcame."
00:01:09.096 --> 00:01:11.632
"they overcame." there's more than one person
00:01:11.699 --> 00:01:12.900
There's more than one person on the planet that has a need
00:01:12.967 --> 00:01:14.602
On the planet that has a need today.
00:01:14.668 --> 00:01:15.035
Today. there's more than one person
00:01:15.102 --> 00:01:16.203
There's more than one person in this room whose burdens need
00:01:16.270 --> 00:01:18.405
In this room whose burdens need to be lifted and yokes need
00:01:18.472 --> 00:01:19.340
To be lifted and yokes need to be destroyed.
00:01:19.406 --> 00:01:20.174
To be destroyed. there's more than one
00:01:20.241 --> 00:01:21.041
There's more than one individual who's suffering
00:01:21.108 --> 00:01:22.610
Individual who's suffering in an hour of sickness.
00:01:22.676 --> 00:01:23.711
In an hour of sickness. there's more than somebody
00:01:23.777 --> 00:01:25.045
There's more than somebody just sitting to your right
00:01:25.112 --> 00:01:26.013
Just sitting to your right and left that needs provision
00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:27.681
And left that needs provision or the chains of addiction
00:01:27.748 --> 00:01:28.849
Or the chains of addiction to be broken,
00:01:28.916 --> 00:01:29.850
To be broken, because they are in a struggle,
00:01:29.917 --> 00:01:32.620
Because they are in a struggle, and they are going to overcome.
00:01:32.686 --> 00:01:35.789
And they are going to overcome. [amen!]

Is that it doesn't matter who they are.

Who they are. it doesn't matter what they're
00:01:40.027 --> 00:01:40.694
It doesn't matter what they're struggling with.
00:01:40.761 --> 00:01:41.695
Struggling with. it doesn't matter what
00:01:41.762 --> 00:01:42.429
It doesn't matter what their burden is.

Their burden is. they overcome all
00:01:43.731 --> 00:01:45.900
They overcome all in the same way,
00:01:45.966 --> 00:01:47.101

Of the lamb." how are the sick set free

How do you recover from the onslaught of the enemy?
00:02:17.097 --> 00:02:18.699
The onslaught of the enemy? by the blood of the lamb.
00:02:18.766 --> 00:02:20.501
By the blood of the lamb. "they overcame by the blood
00:02:20.568 --> 00:02:23.103
"they overcame by the blood of the lamb and the word

The price has been paid. now it's our job to let

Now it's our job to let the word of our testimony

The word of our testimony speak for itself.
00:02:37.618 --> 00:02:39.286

Or are you testing him? are you overcoming or can you

Are you overcoming or can you not get over yourself?
00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:02.643
Not get over yourself? you see,

You see, in order to overcome the enemy,
00:03:03.210 --> 00:03:04.511
In order to overcome the enemy, we've got to overcome
00:03:04.578 --> 00:03:05.646
We've got to overcome ourselves.
00:03:05.713 --> 00:03:08.449
Ourselves. a lot of people say,
00:03:08.515 --> 00:03:09.283
A lot of people say, "oh, the devil made me do it."
00:03:09.350 --> 00:03:10.484
"oh, the devil made me do it." no, you just like it.
00:03:10.551 --> 00:03:12.453
No, you just like it. [yep!]
00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:13.254
[yep!] (laughter)
00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:14.555
(laughter) [amen!]
00:03:14.622 --> 00:03:15.489
[amen!] (laughter)
00:03:15.556 --> 00:03:16.056
(laughter) i've heard this statement
00:03:16.123 --> 00:03:16.991
I've heard this statement and it's very true,
00:03:17.057 --> 00:03:18.359
And it's very true, "you can't bind flesh;
00:03:18.425 --> 00:03:20.461
"you can't bind flesh; you have to crucify it."
00:03:20.527 --> 00:03:22.630
You have to crucify it." [yes!]
00:03:22.696 --> 00:03:24.031
[yes!] (applause)
00:03:24.098 --> 00:03:27.768
(applause) "we wrestle not against flesh
00:03:27.835 --> 00:03:28.669
"we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
00:03:28.736 --> 00:03:29.169
And blood, but against powers
00:03:29.236 --> 00:03:29.870
But against powers and principalities."
00:03:29.937 --> 00:03:31.605
And principalities." you can bind and you can loose
00:03:31.672 --> 00:03:33.807
You can bind and you can loose powers and principalities.
00:03:33.874 --> 00:03:36.110
Powers and principalities. you can use the mighty name
00:03:36.176 --> 00:03:37.378
You can use the mighty name of jesus,
00:03:37.444 --> 00:03:38.012
Of jesus, and those powers and
00:03:38.078 --> 00:03:38.746
And those powers and principalities have to submit,
00:03:38.812 --> 00:03:40.547
Principalities have to submit, because he has the name
00:03:40.614 --> 00:03:41.715
Because he has the name that is above every name.
00:03:41.782 --> 00:03:43.651
That is above every name. [amen!]
00:03:43.717 --> 00:03:44.285
[amen!] but when it comes to your flesh
00:03:44.351 --> 00:03:45.753
But when it comes to your flesh and your desire,
00:03:45.819 --> 00:03:47.054
And your desire, you can't bind that;
00:03:47.121 --> 00:03:48.422
You can't bind that; you have to crucify it.
00:03:48.489 --> 00:03:50.624
You have to crucify it. [that's right!]
00:03:50.691 --> 00:03:51.225
[that's right!] [amen!]
00:03:51.292 --> 00:03:51.759
[amen!] you have to decide;
00:03:51.825 --> 00:03:52.426
You have to decide; i'm not going to do this
00:03:52.493 --> 00:03:53.360
I'm not going to do this anymore,
00:03:53.427 --> 00:03:53.994
Anymore, and go nail yourself to
00:03:54.061 --> 00:03:55.663
And go nail yourself to that cross.
00:03:55.729 --> 00:03:57.131
That cross. [amen!]
00:03:57.197 --> 00:03:57.765
[amen!] oh, i bind me.
00:03:57.831 --> 00:03:58.966
Oh, i bind me. no, you can't bind you.
00:03:59.033 --> 00:04:01.235
No, you can't bind you. (laughter)
00:04:01.302 --> 00:04:03.070
(laughter) you have to crucify it.
00:04:03.137 --> 00:04:06.940
You have to crucify it. so if we're going to overcome,
00:04:07.007 --> 00:04:09.143
So if we're going to overcome, what is it that we have to do?
00:04:09.209 --> 00:04:11.211
What is it that we have to do? we have to stand on the word
00:04:11.278 --> 00:04:13.447
We have to stand on the word of our testimony.
00:04:13.514 --> 00:04:15.849
Of our testimony. what is our testimony?
00:04:15.916 --> 00:04:17.985
What is our testimony? our testimony was paid for
00:04:18.052 --> 00:04:19.687
Our testimony was paid for 2,000 years ago.
00:04:19.753 --> 00:04:21.755
2,000 years ago. "it is finished,"
00:04:21.822 --> 00:04:23.657
"it is finished," that is the word
00:04:23.724 --> 00:04:24.825
That is the word of your testimony.
00:04:24.892 --> 00:04:26.760
Of your testimony. "it is finished" is how you
00:04:26.827 --> 00:04:29.263
"it is finished" is how you pronounce to powers
00:04:29.330 --> 00:04:30.531
Pronounce to powers and principalities
00:04:30.597 --> 00:04:31.699
And principalities that the things that they used
00:04:31.765 --> 00:04:32.833
That the things that they used to bind you with,
00:04:32.900 --> 00:04:33.867
To bind you with, they can't hold you with
00:04:33.934 --> 00:04:34.935
They can't hold you with anymore,
00:04:35.002 --> 00:04:35.736
Anymore, because jesus christ has shed
00:04:35.803 --> 00:04:37.638
Because jesus christ has shed his blood,
00:04:37.705 --> 00:04:38.605
His blood, and now it is finished.
00:04:38.672 --> 00:04:41.008
And now it is finished. that addiction is finished.
00:04:41.075 --> 00:04:42.976
That addiction is finished. that way of thinking
00:04:43.043 --> 00:04:44.244
That way of thinking is finished.
00:04:44.311 --> 00:04:45.012
Is finished. that old life is finished,
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.181
That old life is finished, because old things
00:04:47.247 --> 00:04:48.315
Because old things have passed away,
00:04:48.382 --> 00:04:49.516
Have passed away, and behold all things have
00:04:49.583 --> 00:04:51.085
And behold all things have become new who are in
00:04:51.151 --> 00:04:52.186
Become new who are in christ jesus.
00:04:52.252 --> 00:04:53.253
Christ jesus. do you want to know what
00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:54.221
Do you want to know what you should tell the world?
00:04:54.288 --> 00:04:55.622
You should tell the world? "it is finished!"
00:04:55.689 --> 00:04:58.192
"it is finished!" you have victory
00:04:58.258 --> 00:04:59.360
You have victory through christ the lord!
00:04:59.426 --> 00:05:01.595
Through christ the lord! (applause)
00:05:01.662 --> 00:05:05.699
(applause) when you read these words
00:05:05.766 --> 00:05:06.734
When you read these words in the gospel of john,
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:07.868
In the gospel of john, it sounds as if jesus christ
00:05:07.935 --> 00:05:09.536
It sounds as if jesus christ is giving up and quitting.
00:05:09.603 --> 00:05:11.004
Is giving up and quitting. but that's not at all
00:05:11.071 --> 00:05:11.805
But that's not at all what he's doing.
00:05:11.872 --> 00:05:12.673
What he's doing. he is saying that everything
00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:14.575
He is saying that everything has been fulfilled.
00:05:14.641 --> 00:05:15.976
Has been fulfilled. every price has been paid.
00:05:16.043 --> 00:05:18.412
Every price has been paid. john 3:16 is being worked out
00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:21.048
John 3:16 is being worked out before your very eyes;
00:05:21.115 --> 00:05:22.516
Before your very eyes; that god so loved the world
00:05:22.583 --> 00:05:24.151
That god so loved the world that he gave his only
00:05:24.218 --> 00:05:25.085
That he gave his only begotten son;
00:05:25.152 --> 00:05:26.120
Begotten son; that whosoever believes in him
00:05:26.186 --> 00:05:28.088
That whosoever believes in him would not perish
00:05:28.155 --> 00:05:29.189
Would not perish but have everlasting life.
00:05:29.256 --> 00:05:30.858
But have everlasting life. "it is finished."
00:05:30.924 --> 00:05:32.393
"it is finished." it is a notice of eviction
00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:34.294
It is a notice of eviction upon every demon in hell;
00:05:34.361 --> 00:05:36.163
Upon every demon in hell; that every yoke and chain
00:05:36.230 --> 00:05:37.631
That every yoke and chain is now broken.
00:05:37.698 --> 00:05:38.866
Is now broken. "it is finished" is
00:05:38.932 --> 00:05:40.167
"it is finished" is a declaration of independence
00:05:40.234 --> 00:05:42.102
A declaration of independence for every man,
00:05:42.169 --> 00:05:43.237
For every man, for every woman,
00:05:43.303 --> 00:05:44.138
For every woman, for every boy,
00:05:44.204 --> 00:05:45.072
For every boy, for every girl in every nation
00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:47.307
For every girl in every nation around the world,
00:05:47.374 --> 00:05:48.375
Around the world, because whom the son sets free
00:05:48.442 --> 00:05:50.611
Because whom the son sets free is free indeed!
00:05:50.677 --> 00:05:52.212
Is free indeed! it is finished!
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.114
It is finished! the impossible is now possible!
00:05:54.181 --> 00:05:56.550
The impossible is now possible! the crooked way has now been
00:05:56.617 --> 00:05:58.252
The crooked way has now been made straight!
00:05:58.318 --> 00:05:59.153
Made straight! the mountain can now be cast
00:05:59.219 --> 00:06:01.054
The mountain can now be cast into the sea!
00:06:01.121 --> 00:06:02.055
Into the sea! what you bind on earth,
00:06:02.122 --> 00:06:03.624
What you bind on earth, it is bound in heaven!
00:06:03.690 --> 00:06:05.058
It is bound in heaven! what you loose on earth,
00:06:05.125 --> 00:06:06.460
What you loose on earth, it is loosed in heaven!
00:06:06.527 --> 00:06:07.961
It is loosed in heaven! child of god,
00:06:08.028 --> 00:06:08.962
Child of god, i've got good news today;
00:06:09.029 --> 00:06:10.998
I've got good news today; it is finished!
00:06:11.064 --> 00:06:13.400
It is finished! give the lord a handclap
00:06:13.467 --> 00:06:14.701
Give the lord a handclap of praise!
00:06:14.768 --> 00:06:16.770
Of praise! (applause)
00:06:16.837 --> 00:06:21.975
(applause) you have to understand
00:06:22.042 --> 00:06:23.310
You have to understand the power of that testimony,
00:06:23.377 --> 00:06:26.313
The power of that testimony, because any other testimony
00:06:26.380 --> 00:06:27.981
Because any other testimony takes the glory away from god
00:06:28.048 --> 00:06:30.317
Takes the glory away from god and puts it somewhere
00:06:30.384 --> 00:06:31.251
And puts it somewhere it doesn't belong.
00:06:31.318 --> 00:06:34.388
It doesn't belong. god said in isaiah,
00:06:34.455 --> 00:06:35.656
God said in isaiah, "my glory i will share
00:06:35.722 --> 00:06:37.191
"my glory i will share with no one."
00:06:37.257 --> 00:06:39.092
With no one." he'll share everything
00:06:39.159 --> 00:06:40.194
He'll share everything with you.
00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:42.262
With you. he gave his son;
00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:43.163
He gave his son; that he could share
00:06:43.230 --> 00:06:43.797
That he could share his kingdom.
00:06:43.864 --> 00:06:45.732
His kingdom. he gave you a new name;
00:06:45.799 --> 00:06:47.301
He gave you a new name; that you could be a child
00:06:47.367 --> 00:06:49.036
That you could be a child of the king.
00:06:49.102 --> 00:06:50.871
Of the king. but when it comes to
00:06:50.938 --> 00:06:51.538
But when it comes to god's glory,
00:06:51.605 --> 00:06:54.141
God's glory, he said, you want my power?
00:06:54.208 --> 00:06:55.642
He said, you want my power? pray in my name.
00:06:55.709 --> 00:06:57.311
Pray in my name. you want my presence?
00:06:57.377 --> 00:06:58.378
You want my presence? gather in my name.
00:06:58.445 --> 00:07:00.247
Gather in my name. you want my prosperity?
00:07:00.314 --> 00:07:01.448
You want my prosperity? give and it shall be given.
00:07:01.515 --> 00:07:02.749
Give and it shall be given. you want my glory?
00:07:02.816 --> 00:07:04.051
You want my glory? no, because my glory
00:07:04.117 --> 00:07:07.688
No, because my glory i'll share with no one.
00:07:07.754 --> 00:07:09.356
I'll share with no one. [amen!]
00:07:09.423 --> 00:07:11.558
[amen!] so what happens when we don't
00:07:11.625 --> 00:07:13.894
So what happens when we don't understand the power
00:07:13.961 --> 00:07:15.262
Understand the power of this testimony?
00:07:15.329 --> 00:07:18.632
Of this testimony? the problem is that we begin
00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:19.833
The problem is that we begin to open up places for the enemy
00:07:19.900 --> 00:07:22.035
To open up places for the enemy to come in and do what he does.
00:07:22.102 --> 00:07:23.403
To come in and do what he does. read the verse.
00:07:23.470 --> 00:07:25.305
Read the verse. verse 10, it says,
00:07:25.372 --> 00:07:26.707
Verse 10, it says, "the accuser who has accused
00:07:26.773 --> 00:07:28.642
"the accuser who has accused them before god day and night,
00:07:28.709 --> 00:07:30.477
Them before god day and night, he has been cast down."
00:07:30.544 --> 00:07:33.146
He has been cast down." [amen!]
00:07:33.213 --> 00:07:33.981
[amen!] now understand this;
00:07:34.047 --> 00:07:34.982
Now understand this; if the enemy,
00:07:35.048 --> 00:07:35.749
If the enemy, the devil,
00:07:35.816 --> 00:07:36.250
The devil, satan himself,
00:07:36.316 --> 00:07:37.451
Satan himself, is accusing you before god,
00:07:37.518 --> 00:07:39.386
Is accusing you before god, he'll accuse you to yourself.
00:07:39.453 --> 00:07:42.890
He'll accuse you to yourself. and he'll cause you to listen
00:07:42.956 --> 00:07:44.424
And he'll cause you to listen to the accusations
00:07:44.491 --> 00:07:45.325
To the accusations that he whispers in your ear
00:07:45.392 --> 00:07:46.660
That he whispers in your ear about others.
00:07:46.727 --> 00:07:48.762
About others. we're always suspicious
00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:49.863
We're always suspicious and we're always accusatory
00:07:49.930 --> 00:07:51.298
And we're always accusatory of everyone.
00:07:51.365 --> 00:07:52.099
Of everyone. why?
00:07:52.165 --> 00:07:52.599
Why? because this is what the devil
00:07:52.666 --> 00:07:53.467
Because this is what the devil does to divide us.
00:07:53.534 --> 00:07:55.369
Does to divide us. [amen!]
00:07:55.435 --> 00:07:56.870
[amen!] and even when he's
00:07:56.937 --> 00:07:57.871
And even when he's in heavenly places,
00:07:57.938 --> 00:07:58.906
In heavenly places, he's accusing you.
00:07:58.972 --> 00:08:00.541
He's accusing you. but here in this verse,
00:08:00.607 --> 00:08:01.408
But here in this verse, it says he's been cast down.
00:08:01.475 --> 00:08:03.877
It says he's been cast down. [amen!]
00:08:03.944 --> 00:08:05.412
[amen!] so what happens whenever
00:08:05.479 --> 00:08:06.480
So what happens whenever we choose not to stand upon
00:08:06.547 --> 00:08:08.448
We choose not to stand upon the fact that our testimony
00:08:08.515 --> 00:08:09.783
The fact that our testimony is "it is finished"?
00:08:09.850 --> 00:08:11.051
Is "it is finished"? we open up these doors
00:08:11.118 --> 00:08:12.519
We open up these doors that the enemy gets to use
00:08:12.586 --> 00:08:13.487
That the enemy gets to use against us.
00:08:13.554 --> 00:08:14.221
Against us. why?
00:08:14.288 --> 00:08:14.621
Why? because we start to build
00:08:14.688 --> 00:08:15.622
Because we start to build excuses in our accusations.
00:08:15.689 --> 00:08:19.326
Excuses in our accusations. we start to say things like,
00:08:19.393 --> 00:08:20.294
We start to say things like, "well you don't know where
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:21.395
"well you don't know where i've come from.
00:08:21.461 --> 00:08:22.062
I've come from. you don't know how broken
00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:23.030
You don't know how broken my home was.
00:08:23.096 --> 00:08:23.797
My home was. you don't know what
00:08:23.864 --> 00:08:24.498
You don't know what my grandfather struggled with
00:08:24.565 --> 00:08:25.732
My grandfather struggled with and what he put my father
00:08:25.799 --> 00:08:26.667
And what he put my father through
00:08:26.733 --> 00:08:27.067
Through and what my dad did to me."
00:08:27.134 --> 00:08:28.235
And what my dad did to me." guess what?
00:08:28.302 --> 00:08:29.036
Guess what? it is finished.
00:08:29.102 --> 00:08:33.373
It is finished. (applause)
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.642
(applause) so if it's finished,
00:08:35.709 --> 00:08:38.078
So if it's finished, why are you still carrying it
00:08:38.145 --> 00:08:38.979
Why are you still carrying it around?
00:08:39.046 --> 00:08:40.547
Around? (laughter)
00:08:40.614 --> 00:08:42.482
(laughter) sometimes we don't like it
00:08:42.549 --> 00:08:43.584
Sometimes we don't like it to be finished.
00:08:43.650 --> 00:08:45.385
To be finished. (laughter)
00:08:45.452 --> 00:08:46.853
(laughter) don't take away my problem.
00:08:46.920 --> 00:08:48.021
Don't take away my problem. i won't have anything else
00:08:48.088 --> 00:08:48.789
I won't have anything else to talk about.
00:08:48.855 --> 00:08:50.624
To talk about. (laughter)
00:08:50.691 --> 00:08:53.594
(laughter) but that's not what the verse
00:08:53.660 --> 00:08:54.328
But that's not what the verse says.
00:08:54.394 --> 00:08:55.929
Says. it doesn't say we overcome him
00:08:55.996 --> 00:08:57.497
It doesn't say we overcome him by the blood of our lamb
00:08:57.564 --> 00:08:58.498
By the blood of our lamb and the word of our complaint.
00:08:58.565 --> 00:09:00.934
And the word of our complaint. (laughter)
00:09:01.001 --> 00:09:02.369
(laughter) it says,
00:09:02.436 --> 00:09:02.903
It says, "by the word of our --" what?
00:09:02.970 --> 00:09:04.304
"by the word of our --" what? "-- testimony."
00:09:04.371 --> 00:09:06.006
"-- testimony." and the testimony is
00:09:06.073 --> 00:09:07.207
And the testimony is it was nailed to a cross.
00:09:07.274 --> 00:09:09.476
It was nailed to a cross. [hallelujah!]
00:09:09.543 --> 00:09:10.544
[hallelujah!] and we have been set free.
00:09:10.611 --> 00:09:12.412
And we have been set free. [yes!]
00:09:12.479 --> 00:09:13.413
[yes!] (applause)
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.649
(applause) sometimes we don't like that.
00:09:15.716 --> 00:09:17.918
Sometimes we don't like that. [amen!]
00:09:17.985 --> 00:09:18.986
[amen!] and yet,
00:09:19.052 --> 00:09:19.586
And yet, peter wrote to
00:09:19.653 --> 00:09:20.120
Peter wrote to the new testament church,
00:09:20.187 --> 00:09:20.988
The new testament church, and he said, "cast all --"
00:09:21.054 --> 00:09:23.523
And he said, "cast all --" say that with me.
00:09:23.590 --> 00:09:24.458
Say that with me. "cast all."
00:09:24.524 --> 00:09:26.360
"cast all." "-- of your cares upon him."
00:09:26.426 --> 00:09:27.661
"-- of your cares upon him." why?
00:09:27.728 --> 00:09:28.128
Why? "he cares for you."
00:09:28.195 --> 00:09:29.363
"he cares for you." [that's right!]
00:09:29.429 --> 00:09:30.263
[that's right!] [glory!]
00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:31.131
[glory!] we have a roaring lion,
00:09:31.198 --> 00:09:33.567
We have a roaring lion, in this chapter,
00:09:33.634 --> 00:09:34.234
In this chapter, that peter writes
00:09:34.301 --> 00:09:35.002
That peter writes to the new testament church.
00:09:35.068 --> 00:09:36.136
To the new testament church. and he says,
00:09:36.203 --> 00:09:36.803
And he says, "our enemy is a roaring lion.
00:09:36.870 --> 00:09:38.772
"our enemy is a roaring lion. he wants to distract you
00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:40.307
He wants to distract you with noise."
00:09:40.374 --> 00:09:42.142
With noise." "he's a roaring lion,
00:09:42.209 --> 00:09:43.243
"he's a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
00:09:43.310 --> 00:09:46.346
Seeking whom he may devour." he can't just come and devour.
00:09:46.413 --> 00:09:47.981
He can't just come and devour. he's got to find those
00:09:48.048 --> 00:09:49.249
He's got to find those that he can devour.
00:09:49.316 --> 00:09:50.384
That he can devour. there's a difference.
00:09:50.450 --> 00:09:52.319
There's a difference. why?
00:09:52.386 --> 00:09:53.654
Why? because you've got the blood
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.554
Because you've got the blood of the lamb.
00:09:54.621 --> 00:09:55.255
Of the lamb. he can't devour you.
00:09:55.322 --> 00:09:56.890
He can't devour you. you've got to let him
00:09:56.957 --> 00:09:58.191
You've got to let him devour you.
00:09:58.258 --> 00:09:59.393
Devour you. [amen!]
00:09:59.459 --> 00:10:00.027
[amen!] and so how does he do it?
00:10:00.093 --> 00:10:01.261
And so how does he do it? he roars.
00:10:01.328 --> 00:10:02.462
He roars. and in the roar,
00:10:02.529 --> 00:10:03.630
And in the roar, you get anxiety,
00:10:03.697 --> 00:10:07.234
You get anxiety, which is why it says,
00:10:07.300 --> 00:10:07.834
Which is why it says, "cast all of your cares
00:10:07.901 --> 00:10:10.837
"cast all of your cares upon him."
00:10:10.904 --> 00:10:13.006
Upon him." you see,
00:10:13.073 --> 00:10:13.573
You see, when you start to worry
00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:14.274
When you start to worry and care about something
00:10:14.341 --> 00:10:15.742
And care about something that you don't think god
00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:16.576
That you don't think god can handle,
00:10:16.643 --> 00:10:17.411
Can handle, you're listening to the roar
00:10:17.477 --> 00:10:18.578
You're listening to the roar of the enemy,
00:10:18.645 --> 00:10:19.446
Of the enemy, and you're taking the glory
00:10:19.513 --> 00:10:20.480
And you're taking the glory away from god.
00:10:20.547 --> 00:10:22.015
Away from god. [amen!]
00:10:22.082 --> 00:10:23.383
[amen!] i don't think you can help me
00:10:23.450 --> 00:10:24.451
I don't think you can help me overcome my past,
00:10:24.518 --> 00:10:25.719
Overcome my past, because the enemy's roaring
00:10:25.786 --> 00:10:27.087
Because the enemy's roaring at me.
00:10:27.154 --> 00:10:27.721
At me. no, no, no, no.
00:10:27.788 --> 00:10:28.522
No, no, no, no. cast that on him.
00:10:28.588 --> 00:10:30.257
Cast that on him. [amen!]
00:10:30.323 --> 00:10:30.957
[amen!] he cares for you.
00:10:31.024 --> 00:10:32.726
He cares for you. hit the mute button on what
00:10:32.793 --> 00:10:34.594
Hit the mute button on what satan's doing.
00:10:34.661 --> 00:10:37.564
Satan's doing. (applause)
00:10:37.631 --> 00:10:39.766
(applause) this is the joy
00:10:39.833 --> 00:10:40.634
This is the joy of your salvation.
00:10:40.701 --> 00:10:41.601
Of your salvation. you don't have to carry it
00:10:41.668 --> 00:10:42.469
You don't have to carry it around.
00:10:42.536 --> 00:10:43.837
Around. you don't have to deal with it
00:10:43.904 --> 00:10:44.738
You don't have to deal with it anymore.
00:10:44.805 --> 00:10:45.238
Anymore. you can cast it on jesus
00:10:45.305 --> 00:10:47.040
You can cast it on jesus and he'll carry it for you.
00:10:47.107 --> 00:10:49.109
And he'll carry it for you. [amen!]
00:10:49.176 --> 00:10:49.976
[amen!] this is what ephesians says,
00:10:50.043 --> 00:10:50.711
This is what ephesians says, "it is by grace that you have
00:10:50.777 --> 00:10:52.212
"it is by grace that you have been saved through faith.
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:53.880
Been saved through faith. it is the gift of god."
00:10:53.947 --> 00:10:57.517
It is the gift of god." [amen!]
00:10:57.584 --> 00:10:58.018
[amen!] you cannot add to or take away
00:10:58.085 --> 00:10:58.919
You cannot add to or take away from that gift.
00:10:58.985 --> 00:10:59.786
From that gift. it is perfect all by itself.
00:10:59.853 --> 00:11:02.756
It is perfect all by itself. and yet, oftentimes,
00:11:02.823 --> 00:11:03.690
And yet, oftentimes, we want to do something to add
00:11:03.757 --> 00:11:05.258
We want to do something to add to the requirements.
00:11:05.325 --> 00:11:06.193
To the requirements. why?
00:11:06.259 --> 00:11:06.860
Why? so that we can tell others
00:11:06.927 --> 00:11:07.928
So that we can tell others what we did.
00:11:07.994 --> 00:11:08.895
What we did. you did nothing!
00:11:08.962 --> 00:11:10.363
You did nothing! he did everything!
00:11:10.430 --> 00:11:13.433
In matthew chapter 21, verses
00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:16.536
12 through 13,
00:11:18.472 --> 00:11:19.606
Jesus walked into the temple
00:11:19.606 --> 00:11:21.374
And found a sense of greed
00:11:21.374 --> 00:11:23.744
And corruption.
00:11:23.744 --> 00:11:24.544
Angry,
00:11:24.544 --> 00:11:25.112
He overturned the tables,
00:11:25.112 --> 00:11:26.646
Driving out
00:11:26.646 --> 00:11:27.380
Those who were exploiting
00:11:27.380 --> 00:11:29.216
The name of god.
00:11:29.216 --> 00:11:30.217
This wasn't passive or timid.
00:11:30.217 --> 00:11:32.385
This was righteous anger.
00:11:32.385 --> 00:11:33.920
We as christians are called
00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:35.789
To speak the truth in love,
00:11:35.789 --> 00:11:37.824
But we cannot sit idly
00:11:37.824 --> 00:11:39.259
By while evil
00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:40.560
Takes root in our communities
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:42.395
And in our homes.

With god day by day.
00:12:04.284 --> 00:12:05.919
Live a life
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.520
That honors the lord
00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:07.654
Even when it's uncomfortable.
00:12:07.654 --> 00:12:09.156
Call the number on screen
00:12:09.156 --> 00:12:10.724
Or go to jhm.org/fire
00:12:10.724 --> 00:12:15.962
"overcoming" means that
00:12:16.029 --> 00:12:17.430
"overcoming" means that the expectation is victory.
00:12:17.497 --> 00:12:21.201
The expectation is victory. when you overcome,
00:12:21.268 --> 00:12:22.169
When you overcome, you don't survive.
00:12:22.235 --> 00:12:24.237
You don't survive. when you overcome,
00:12:24.304 --> 00:12:25.539
When you overcome, you have dominated
00:12:25.605 --> 00:12:26.773
You have dominated your opponent.
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.242
Your opponent. a lot of christians think
00:12:29.309 --> 00:12:30.277
A lot of christians think that we're in a 15-round fight,
00:12:30.343 --> 00:12:32.112
That we're in a 15-round fight, and we're just hoping to make
00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:32.913
And we're just hoping to make it to the cards.
00:12:32.979 --> 00:12:34.881
It to the cards. (laughter)
00:12:34.948 --> 00:12:35.448
(laughter) let's see who wins in the end.
00:12:35.515 --> 00:12:37.918
Let's see who wins in the end. no!
00:12:37.984 --> 00:12:39.252
No! you're supposed to win
00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:39.986
You're supposed to win every day.
00:12:40.053 --> 00:12:41.488
Every day. [amen!]
00:12:41.555 --> 00:12:42.088
[amen!] why?
00:12:42.155 --> 00:12:42.656
Why? because this is the day that
00:12:42.722 --> 00:12:43.557
Because this is the day that the lord has made.
00:12:43.623 --> 00:12:44.724
The lord has made. let us rejoice and be made glad
00:12:44.791 --> 00:12:46.626
Let us rejoice and be made glad in it.
00:12:46.693 --> 00:12:48.228
In it. (applause)
00:12:48.295 --> 00:12:49.462
(applause) how do we overcome?
00:12:49.529 --> 00:12:50.964
How do we overcome? (applause)
00:12:51.031 --> 00:12:51.832
(applause) we overcome by the word
00:12:51.898 --> 00:12:52.699
We overcome by the word of our testimony.
00:12:52.766 --> 00:12:53.900
Of our testimony. we overcome by our worship.
00:12:53.967 --> 00:12:55.435
We overcome by our worship. we overcome by our service.
00:12:55.502 --> 00:12:57.070
We overcome by our service. we overcome by winning
00:12:57.137 --> 00:12:58.138
We overcome by winning the lost.
00:12:58.205 --> 00:12:58.738
The lost. we overcome by proclaiming
00:12:58.805 --> 00:13:00.073
We overcome by proclaiming the word.
00:13:00.140 --> 00:13:00.640
The word. we overcome by praying always.
00:13:00.707 --> 00:13:02.809
We overcome by praying always. we overcome by going into
00:13:02.876 --> 00:13:04.211
We overcome by going into heavenly places
00:13:04.277 --> 00:13:05.412
Heavenly places and pulling down strongholds,
00:13:05.478 --> 00:13:07.380
And pulling down strongholds, and loosing the power of god
00:13:07.447 --> 00:13:08.882
And loosing the power of god to do what god wants
00:13:08.949 --> 00:13:09.916
To do what god wants on this earth,
00:13:09.983 --> 00:13:10.951
On this earth, because his kingdom will come.
00:13:11.017 --> 00:13:13.086
Because his kingdom will come. and of that kingdom,
00:13:13.153 --> 00:13:14.154
And of that kingdom, there shall be no end!
00:13:14.221 --> 00:13:15.989
There shall be no end! you are more than a conqueror
00:13:16.056 --> 00:13:18.525
You are more than a conqueror through christ!
00:13:18.592 --> 00:13:20.760
Through christ! (applause)
00:13:20.827 --> 00:13:24.865
(applause) oftentimes,
00:13:24.931 --> 00:13:25.498
Oftentimes, we like to keep the secrets
00:13:25.565 --> 00:13:26.700
We like to keep the secrets of our success to ourselves,
00:13:26.766 --> 00:13:28.235
Of our success to ourselves, because they become the things
00:13:28.301 --> 00:13:29.469
Because they become the things that we use to take advantage
00:13:29.536 --> 00:13:30.804
That we use to take advantage of situations.
00:13:30.871 --> 00:13:32.439
Of situations. oh, i don't want to tell people
00:13:32.505 --> 00:13:33.273
Oh, i don't want to tell people how i made my money.
00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:34.341
How i made my money. oh, i don't want to tell people
00:13:34.407 --> 00:13:35.208
Oh, i don't want to tell people how i got this job.
00:13:35.275 --> 00:13:36.243
How i got this job. oh, i don't want to tell people
00:13:36.309 --> 00:13:37.043
Oh, i don't want to tell people all of these details.
00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:38.278
All of these details. well let me tell you;
00:13:38.345 --> 00:13:38.812
Well let me tell you; there are times in life
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:39.880
There are times in life when what you've got is just
00:13:39.946 --> 00:13:41.514
When what you've got is just too good not to share.
00:13:41.581 --> 00:13:44.050
Too good not to share. [amen!]
00:13:44.117 --> 00:13:44.751
[amen!] [hallelujah!]
00:13:44.818 --> 00:13:45.418
[hallelujah!] most of the time, for us,
00:13:45.485 --> 00:13:46.253
Most of the time, for us, it's gossip.
00:13:46.319 --> 00:13:47.888
It's gossip. (laughter)
00:13:47.954 --> 00:13:48.622
(laughter) "shhh, don't tell anybody,"
00:13:48.688 --> 00:13:49.422
"shhh, don't tell anybody," which means you're going
00:13:49.489 --> 00:13:50.023
Which means you're going to tell everybody.
00:13:50.090 --> 00:13:51.758
To tell everybody. (laughter)
00:13:51.825 --> 00:13:52.592
(laughter) it's a prayer request.
00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:54.961
It's a prayer request. (laughter)
00:13:55.028 --> 00:13:56.029
(laughter) yeah.
00:13:56.096 --> 00:13:57.530
Yeah. (laughter)
00:13:57.597 --> 00:13:59.199
(laughter) if your prayer request is not
00:13:59.266 --> 00:14:00.433
If your prayer request is not about you...
00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:01.835
About you... (makes sound of locking mouth)
00:14:01.902 --> 00:14:03.303
(makes sound of locking mouth) god knows.
00:14:03.370 --> 00:14:04.938
God knows. [yes!]
00:14:05.005 --> 00:14:06.506
[yes!] but the word of your testimony
00:14:06.573 --> 00:14:07.507
But the word of your testimony is something that's just
00:14:07.574 --> 00:14:08.375
Is something that's just too good not to share.
00:14:08.441 --> 00:14:11.344
Too good not to share. it's too good not to tell
00:14:11.411 --> 00:14:13.213
It's too good not to tell people what jesus christ
00:14:13.280 --> 00:14:15.215
People what jesus christ has given you the opportunity
00:14:15.282 --> 00:14:16.383
Has given you the opportunity to do.
00:14:16.449 --> 00:14:17.717
To do. it's too good not to let them
00:14:17.784 --> 00:14:19.319
It's too good not to let them know how you were lost
00:14:19.386 --> 00:14:20.553
Know how you were lost and on your way to hell,
00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:21.855
And on your way to hell, but he came and he set you
00:14:21.922 --> 00:14:23.290
But he came and he set you free.
00:14:23.356 --> 00:14:23.924
Free. and now your name is written
00:14:23.990 --> 00:14:25.191
And now your name is written down in the lamb's book
00:14:25.258 --> 00:14:26.393
Down in the lamb's book of life.
00:14:26.459 --> 00:14:27.661
Of life. [amen!]
00:14:27.727 --> 00:14:28.161
[amen!] it's too good not to be able
00:14:28.228 --> 00:14:29.229
It's too good not to be able to share with someone how you
00:14:29.296 --> 00:14:30.830
To share with someone how you have hope where you used
00:14:30.897 --> 00:14:32.065
Have hope where you used to be hopeless,
00:14:32.132 --> 00:14:32.866
To be hopeless, and how you have joy
00:14:32.933 --> 00:14:34.000
And how you have joy where there used to be sorrow,
00:14:34.067 --> 00:14:35.402
Where there used to be sorrow, and how you have strength
00:14:35.468 --> 00:14:36.770
And how you have strength in your weakness.
00:14:36.836 --> 00:14:37.771
In your weakness. it's too good not to tell them
00:14:37.837 --> 00:14:39.739
It's too good not to tell them that whenever you call upon
00:14:39.806 --> 00:14:41.107
That whenever you call upon him,
00:14:41.174 --> 00:14:41.908
Him, he answers you and he shows you
00:14:41.975 --> 00:14:43.410
He answers you and he shows you great and mighty things
00:14:43.476 --> 00:14:44.577
Great and mighty things that you know not.
00:14:44.644 --> 00:14:45.578
That you know not. it's too good not to be able to
00:14:45.645 --> 00:14:47.380
It's too good not to be able to say that whenever you wake up,
00:14:47.447 --> 00:14:49.416
Say that whenever you wake up, you're thankful that he's given
00:14:49.482 --> 00:14:50.684
You're thankful that he's given you another day.
00:14:50.750 --> 00:14:51.851
You another day. and whenever you lie down,

But he couldn't, because jesus himself said,
00:17:53.533 --> 00:17:54.701
Because jesus himself said, "if i be lifted up,

00:20:04.063 --> 00:20:05.565
Are you giving him your heart, soul, mind, and body?
00:20:05.632 --> 00:20:08.368
Soul, mind, and body? are you testifying of
00:20:08.434 --> 00:20:09.435
Are you testifying of his goodness in your life?
00:20:09.502 --> 00:20:10.737
His goodness in your life? are you constantly complaining
00:20:10.803 --> 00:20:11.871
Are you constantly complaining about what you wish
00:20:11.938 --> 00:20:12.805
About what you wish was different?
00:20:12.872 --> 00:20:15.174
Was different? you need to know something;
00:20:15.241 --> 00:20:16.476
You need to know something; your behavior either opens up
00:20:16.542 --> 00:20:18.745
Your behavior either opens up god's blessings or it provokes
00:20:18.811 --> 00:20:22.248
God's blessings or it provokes his wrath.
00:20:22.315 --> 00:20:25.918
His wrath. now people are always
00:20:25.985 --> 00:20:26.719
Now people are always interested in how they get
00:20:26.786 --> 00:20:27.754
Interested in how they get god's blessings,
00:20:27.820 --> 00:20:28.655
God's blessings, but they don't ever want
00:20:28.721 --> 00:20:29.355
But they don't ever want to consider that they could
00:20:29.422 --> 00:20:30.523
To consider that they could provoke his wrath.
00:20:30.590 --> 00:20:33.593
Provoke his wrath. but go read the word of god.
00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:36.129
But go read the word of god. in the book of psalm,
00:20:36.195 --> 00:20:36.996
In the book of psalm, in the 78th chapter,
00:20:37.063 --> 00:20:38.197
In the 78th chapter, it's talking about the children
00:20:38.264 --> 00:20:39.332
It's talking about the children of israel coming out of egypt
00:20:39.399 --> 00:20:41.100
Of israel coming out of egypt and how they walked through
00:20:41.167 --> 00:20:41.934
And how they walked through the wilderness.
00:20:42.001 --> 00:20:42.669
The wilderness. and it says,
00:20:42.735 --> 00:20:43.202
And it says, "they provoked god."
00:20:43.269 --> 00:20:45.938
"they provoked god." how did they provoke him?
00:20:46.005 --> 00:20:47.907
How did they provoke him? by doubting him.
00:20:47.974 --> 00:20:50.109
By doubting him. they drank from water that came
00:20:50.176 --> 00:20:51.878
They drank from water that came out of a rock in the midst
00:20:51.944 --> 00:20:53.012
Out of a rock in the midst of the desert.
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:53.613
Of the desert. now that's a pretty good-
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.614
Now that's a pretty good- miraculous drink right there.
00:20:54.681 --> 00:20:57.583
Miraculous drink right there. and while they're drinking,
00:20:57.650 --> 00:20:58.584
And while they're drinking, they say,
00:20:58.651 --> 00:20:59.085
They say, "i wonder if he can feed us?"
00:20:59.152 --> 00:21:02.021
"i wonder if he can feed us?" (laughter)
00:21:02.088 --> 00:21:02.588
(laughter) have you ever been living
00:21:02.655 --> 00:21:03.356
Have you ever been living in the goodness of god and
00:21:03.423 --> 00:21:04.390
In the goodness of god and wondering what he might be able
00:21:04.457 --> 00:21:05.958
Wondering what he might be able to do for you next,
00:21:06.025 --> 00:21:08.227
To do for you next, instead of just saying, "god,
00:21:08.294 --> 00:21:09.195
Instead of just saying, "god, i thank you for the water.
00:21:09.262 --> 00:21:10.430
I thank you for the water. and whatever else you have,
00:21:10.496 --> 00:21:11.597
And whatever else you have, i'm going to accept that too"?
00:21:11.664 --> 00:21:13.366
I'm going to accept that too"? [yes!]
00:21:13.433 --> 00:21:14.634
[yes!] (applause)
00:21:14.701 --> 00:21:18.771
(applause) so they're drinking the water.
00:21:18.838 --> 00:21:19.872
So they're drinking the water. they say,
00:21:19.939 --> 00:21:20.340
They say, "i wonder if he can feed us?"
00:21:20.406 --> 00:21:21.374
"i wonder if he can feed us?" he sends them manna.
00:21:21.441 --> 00:21:22.709
He sends them manna. there's not one sick or feeble
00:21:22.775 --> 00:21:23.843
There's not one sick or feeble among them."
00:21:23.910 --> 00:21:24.711
Among them." but after a few days of eating
00:21:24.777 --> 00:21:25.912
But after a few days of eating the bread, they said,
00:21:25.978 --> 00:21:27.113
The bread, they said, "i wonder if he can give us
00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:28.381
"i wonder if he can give us meat?"
00:21:28.448 --> 00:21:30.049
Meat?" (laughter)
00:21:30.116 --> 00:21:30.883
(laughter) have you ever had something
00:21:30.950 --> 00:21:32.051
Have you ever had something that was good and you thought,
00:21:32.118 --> 00:21:33.686
That was good and you thought, ah, i'm just tired of this?
00:21:33.753 --> 00:21:36.589
Ah, i'm just tired of this? (laughter)
00:21:36.656 --> 00:21:37.357
(laughter) and god said, "fine.
00:21:37.423 --> 00:21:38.057
And god said, "fine. you want meat?
00:21:38.124 --> 00:21:38.624
You want meat? here's quail."
00:21:38.691 --> 00:21:41.160
Here's quail." and the bible says,
00:21:41.227 --> 00:21:41.928
And the bible says, "and while the meat
00:21:41.994 --> 00:21:42.695
"and while the meat was in their mouth,
00:21:42.762 --> 00:21:45.832
Was in their mouth, he killed them."
00:21:45.898 --> 00:21:48.968
He killed them." make you spit out what you're
00:21:49.035 --> 00:21:49.836
Make you spit out what you're chewing.
00:21:49.902 --> 00:21:51.270
Chewing. (laughter)
00:21:51.337 --> 00:21:53.272
(laughter) why?
00:21:53.339 --> 00:21:55.174
Why? because they provoked him.
00:21:55.241 --> 00:21:57.844
Because they provoked him. their doubt led to complaint.
00:21:57.910 --> 00:22:00.413
Their doubt led to complaint. and their complaint led to
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:01.848
And their complaint led to his wrath.
00:22:01.914 --> 00:22:04.684
His wrath. so understand when it comes to
00:22:04.751 --> 00:22:06.052
So understand when it comes to the word of your testimony,
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:07.220
The word of your testimony, you really don't have a choice,
00:22:07.286 --> 00:22:09.822
You really don't have a choice, because the consequences
00:22:09.889 --> 00:22:10.656
Because the consequences are too dire.
00:22:10.723 --> 00:22:12.792
Are too dire. [amen!]
00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:13.259
[amen!] you can either celebrate
00:22:13.326 --> 00:22:14.494
You can either celebrate his goodness or you can

Complain about what you think he's withholding and see
00:22:17.397 --> 00:22:18.698
He's withholding and see which one of those two gets you
00:22:18.765 --> 00:22:19.999
Which one of those two gets you where you want to go.
00:22:20.066 --> 00:22:22.001
Where you want to go. [that's right!]
00:22:22.068 --> 00:22:23.736

00:22:23.803 --> 00:22:26.572
He has paid for you such a high price that it cost him
00:22:26.639 --> 00:22:29.675
A high price that it cost him his life.
00:22:29.742 --> 00:22:32.311
His life. and in allowing us to live,
00:22:32.378 --> 00:22:34.781
And in allowing us to live, he wants us to use our life
00:22:34.847 --> 00:22:37.417
He wants us to use our life to give him the praise
00:22:37.483 --> 00:22:38.484
To give him the praise and the glory and the honor
00:22:38.551 --> 00:22:39.519

With your heads bowed and your eyes closed,
00:22:53.366 --> 00:22:56.202
And your eyes closed, this morning you could say,
00:22:56.269 --> 00:22:56.969
This morning you could say, pastor,
00:22:57.036 --> 00:22:59.872
Pastor, he's not getting what he's paid
00:22:59.939 --> 00:23:00.907
He's not getting what he's paid for.
