♪ music ♪ pastor matt hagee: when you
00:00:13.707 --> 00:00:14.375
Pastor matt hagee: when you read 1 samuel 3:1,
00:00:14.442 --> 00:00:18.145
Read 1 samuel 3:1, 1 samuel 3:21,
00:00:18.212 --> 00:00:21.348
1 samuel 3:21, you notice that there is
00:00:21.415 --> 00:00:22.683
You notice that there is a connection
00:00:22.750 --> 00:00:24.418
A connection in the relationship
00:00:24.485 --> 00:00:25.619
In the relationship between god and his word.
00:00:25.686 --> 00:00:28.856
Between god and his word. for example,
00:00:28.923 --> 00:00:29.824
For example, in verse 1,
00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:31.025
In verse 1, it says,
00:00:31.092 --> 00:00:31.625
It says, "the word of the lord
00:00:31.692 --> 00:00:33.260
"the word of the lord was rare,
00:00:33.327 --> 00:00:34.728
Was rare, and there was no widespread
00:00:34.795 --> 00:00:36.931
And there was no widespread revelation."
00:00:36.997 --> 00:00:38.399
Revelation." in verse 1,
00:00:38.466 --> 00:00:39.300
In verse 1, there is no word,
00:00:39.366 --> 00:00:40.668
There is no word, and therefore,
00:00:40.734 --> 00:00:41.335
And therefore, it seems like there is
00:00:41.402 --> 00:00:42.336
It seems like there is no presence of god.
00:00:42.403 --> 00:00:44.438
No presence of god. in verse 21,
00:00:44.505 --> 00:00:46.707
In verse 21, it says,
00:00:46.774 --> 00:00:47.241
It says, "and the lord appears."
00:00:47.308 --> 00:00:49.577
"and the lord appears." and how does he appear?
00:00:49.643 --> 00:00:51.378
And how does he appear? "with his word."
00:00:51.445 --> 00:00:54.215
"with his word." the point is simply this;
00:00:54.281 --> 00:00:56.083
The point is simply this; where god's word is,
00:00:56.150 --> 00:00:58.452
Where god's word is, he is.
00:00:58.519 --> 00:00:59.920
He is. [amen.]
00:00:59.987 --> 00:01:00.821
[amen.] unfortunately,
00:01:00.888 --> 00:01:02.790
Unfortunately, we live in a world that has
00:01:02.857 --> 00:01:04.358
We live in a world that has decided it no longer craves
00:01:04.425 --> 00:01:06.527
Decided it no longer craves the word of god
00:01:06.594 --> 00:01:07.394
The word of god in its everyday life.
00:01:07.461 --> 00:01:09.163
In its everyday life. [come on.]
00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:09.997
[come on.] we don't value his word.
00:01:10.064 --> 00:01:12.032
We don't value his word. and i believe one of
00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:12.867
And i believe one of the reasons we don't value
00:01:12.933 --> 00:01:13.901
The reasons we don't value his word is because we don't
00:01:13.968 --> 00:01:15.836
His word is because we don't value the words from
00:01:15.903 --> 00:01:17.171
Value the words from one another.
00:01:17.238 --> 00:01:18.472
One another. [amen.]
00:01:18.539 --> 00:01:19.974
[amen.] it wasn't long ago
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:21.208
It wasn't long ago that people said,
00:01:21.275 --> 00:01:21.876
That people said, "a man's word is his bond."
00:01:21.942 --> 00:01:25.179
"a man's word is his bond." now, a man's word is kind of
00:01:25.246 --> 00:01:26.447
Now, a man's word is kind of like the american dollar.
00:01:26.514 --> 00:01:27.848
Like the american dollar. it's over inflated
00:01:27.915 --> 00:01:28.682
It's over inflated and losing value every day.
00:01:28.749 --> 00:01:32.486
And losing value every day. it's difficult for to us
00:01:32.553 --> 00:01:33.821
It's difficult for to us understand the strong
00:01:33.888 --> 00:01:35.356
Understand the strong connection between jehovah god
00:01:35.422 --> 00:01:37.224
Connection between jehovah god and his word,
00:01:37.291 --> 00:01:38.125
And his word, because we don't trust one
00:01:38.192 --> 00:01:39.426
Because we don't trust one another.
00:01:39.493 --> 00:01:40.060
Another. but look at it from
00:01:40.127 --> 00:01:40.794
But look at it from the bible's perspective.
00:01:40.861 --> 00:01:42.263
The bible's perspective. in the first chapter
00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:43.297
In the first chapter of the book of john,
00:01:43.364 --> 00:01:44.098
Of the book of john, it says,
00:01:44.165 --> 00:01:44.732
It says, "in the beginning
00:01:44.798 --> 00:01:45.466
"in the beginning was the word,
00:01:45.533 --> 00:01:46.200
Was the word, and the word was with god,
00:01:46.267 --> 00:01:47.902
And the word was with god, and the word was god."
00:01:47.968 --> 00:01:51.238
And the word was god." [amen.]
00:01:51.305 --> 00:01:51.939
[amen.] you cannot disconnect god
00:01:52.006 --> 00:01:53.474
You cannot disconnect god from his word.
00:01:53.541 --> 00:01:54.441
From his word. where you find his word,
00:01:54.508 --> 00:01:56.076
Where you find his word, you'll find him.
00:01:56.143 --> 00:01:57.778
You'll find him. [that's right.]
00:01:57.845 --> 00:01:58.412
[that's right.] what a did paul tell timothy
00:01:58.479 --> 00:01:59.813
What a did paul tell timothy about going to the church
00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:01.015
About going to the church and preaching?
00:02:01.081 --> 00:02:01.815
And preaching? he said,
00:02:01.882 --> 00:02:02.449
He said, "preach the word."
00:02:02.516 --> 00:02:04.018
"preach the word." what did he say to preach?
00:02:04.084 --> 00:02:05.486
What did he say to preach? "the word."
00:02:05.553 --> 00:02:06.320
"the word." why?
00:02:06.387 --> 00:02:06.820
Why? because where you find
00:02:06.887 --> 00:02:07.821
Because where you find the word of god in a pulpit,
00:02:07.888 --> 00:02:09.657
The word of god in a pulpit, you'll find the presence
00:02:09.723 --> 00:02:10.558
You'll find the presence of god in the sanctuary.
00:02:10.624 --> 00:02:13.093
Of god in the sanctuary. [amen.]
00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:13.727
[amen.] [that's right.]
00:02:13.794 --> 00:02:14.295
[that's right.] the bible says,
00:02:14.361 --> 00:02:14.995
The bible says, "unless the lord build
00:02:15.062 --> 00:02:15.629
"unless the lord build the house,
00:02:15.696 --> 00:02:16.297
The house, they labor in vain
00:02:16.363 --> 00:02:17.431
They labor in vain who build it."
00:02:17.498 --> 00:02:18.132
Who build it." how does your home become
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:19.433
How does your home become heaven on earth?
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.434
Heaven on earth? your home has to be built upon
00:02:20.501 --> 00:02:22.503
Your home has to be built upon the word of god,
00:02:22.570 --> 00:02:23.504
The word of god, because where you find
00:02:23.571 --> 00:02:24.705
Because where you find the word of god in a house,
00:02:24.772 --> 00:02:26.340
The word of god in a house, you find hearts and lives
00:02:26.407 --> 00:02:27.775
You find hearts and lives that are filled with love
00:02:27.841 --> 00:02:28.609
That are filled with love and joy.
00:02:28.676 --> 00:02:29.743
And joy. [amen.]
00:02:29.810 --> 00:02:30.244
[amen.] how do businesses prosper?
00:02:30.311 --> 00:02:31.712
How do businesses prosper? businesses do not prosper
00:02:31.779 --> 00:02:33.180
Businesses do not prosper based on the economy.
00:02:33.247 --> 00:02:34.515
Based on the economy. businesses prosper when they
00:02:34.582 --> 00:02:35.916
Businesses prosper when they put god as a partner
00:02:35.983 --> 00:02:37.251
Put god as a partner on their bottom line.
00:02:37.318 --> 00:02:38.552
On their bottom line. that's when he opens up
00:02:38.619 --> 00:02:39.920
That's when he opens up the windows of heaven
00:02:39.987 --> 00:02:40.988
The windows of heaven and he pours out blessings
00:02:41.055 --> 00:02:42.356
And he pours out blessings that you cannot contain.
00:02:42.423 --> 00:02:44.592
That you cannot contain. [amen.]
00:02:44.658 --> 00:02:45.726
[amen.] [hallelujah!]
00:02:45.793 --> 00:02:46.627
[hallelujah!] some of you may find it
00:02:46.694 --> 00:02:47.494
Some of you may find it difficult to put trust
00:02:47.561 --> 00:02:49.129
Difficult to put trust in the words of another.
00:02:49.196 --> 00:02:50.364
In the words of another. but what you need to know
00:02:50.431 --> 00:02:51.398
But what you need to know is what i hold in my hands are
00:02:51.465 --> 00:02:53.100
Is what i hold in my hands are not just the words of another.
00:02:53.167 --> 00:02:54.768
Not just the words of another. this is the word
00:02:54.835 --> 00:02:55.703
This is the word of the creator of heaven
00:02:55.769 --> 00:02:56.971
Of the creator of heaven and earth.
00:02:57.037 --> 00:02:57.571
And earth. and in this word,
00:02:57.638 --> 00:02:58.839
And in this word, you read promises like,
00:02:58.906 --> 00:03:00.040
You read promises like, "let god be true
00:03:00.107 --> 00:03:01.675
"let god be true and every man a liar."
00:03:01.742 --> 00:03:03.177
And every man a liar." this is not just simple
00:03:03.244 --> 00:03:04.478
This is not just simple language.
00:03:04.545 --> 00:03:05.145
Language. this is a two-edged sword
00:03:05.212 --> 00:03:06.614
This is a two-edged sword in your mouth that defeats
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.148
In your mouth that defeats your enemies.

It guides you. it is a lamp unto your feet
00:03:12.953 --> 00:03:14.588
It is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path
00:03:14.655 --> 00:03:16.156
And a light unto your path that leads you through
00:03:16.223 --> 00:03:17.258
That leads you through the desert of your days.
00:03:17.324 --> 00:03:18.626
The desert of your days. this word is health
00:03:18.692 --> 00:03:20.227
This word is health to your navel
00:03:20.294 --> 00:03:21.161
To your navel and it is marrow
00:03:21.228 --> 00:03:22.129
And it is marrow to your bones.

Then become the kind of person that puts more faith in
00:03:55.863 --> 00:03:56.964
That puts more faith in his word than in the fake news
00:03:57.031 --> 00:03:59.033
His word than in the fake news that you hear
00:03:59.099 --> 00:03:59.900
That you hear on a daily basis.
00:03:59.967 --> 00:04:01.535
On a daily basis. [amen.]
00:04:01.602 --> 00:04:04.271
[amen.] everything that is being
00:04:04.338 --> 00:04:05.406
Everything that is being pushed and marketed
00:04:05.472 --> 00:04:06.240
Pushed and marketed in our world today
00:04:06.307 --> 00:04:07.608
In our world today is being pushed and marketed
00:04:07.675 --> 00:04:08.942
Is being pushed and marketed through fear.
00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:10.678
Through fear. [amen.]
00:04:10.744 --> 00:04:11.478
[amen.] [yes.]
00:04:11.545 --> 00:04:12.613
[yes.] everything that the world
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:13.681
Everything that the world wants you to accept,
00:04:13.747 --> 00:04:15.182
Wants you to accept, they want you to believe that
00:04:15.249 --> 00:04:16.317
They want you to believe that if you don't do it,
00:04:16.383 --> 00:04:17.484
If you don't do it, you're going to harm yourself.
00:04:17.551 --> 00:04:20.621
You're going to harm yourself. they said,
00:04:20.688 --> 00:04:21.021
They said, if we sat in church
00:04:21.088 --> 00:04:22.056
If we sat in church without a mask,
00:04:22.122 --> 00:04:22.923
Without a mask, we were handing out
00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:23.691
We were handing out death sentences.
00:04:23.757 --> 00:04:25.759
Death sentences. lie.
00:04:25.826 --> 00:04:27.428
Lie. [amen.]
00:04:27.494 --> 00:04:28.829
[amen.] now why is this important
00:04:28.896 --> 00:04:29.763
Now why is this important to keep in mind?
00:04:29.830 --> 00:04:30.764
To keep in mind? because the bible says that
00:04:30.831 --> 00:04:31.765
Because the bible says that god has not given us a spirit
00:04:31.832 --> 00:04:33.534
God has not given us a spirit of -- what?
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.568
Of -- what? -- fear,
00:04:34.635 --> 00:04:35.769
-- fear, but one of power and of love
00:04:35.836 --> 00:04:38.238
But one of power and of love and of sound mind.
00:04:38.305 --> 00:04:39.606
And of sound mind. [amen.]
00:04:39.673 --> 00:04:40.240
[amen.] how do you overcome the world?
00:04:40.307 --> 00:04:41.408
How do you overcome the world? you do not swallow the fear
00:04:41.475 --> 00:04:43.210
You do not swallow the fear pills that they're handing
00:04:43.277 --> 00:04:44.511
Pills that they're handing you;
00:04:44.578 --> 00:04:45.079
You; you pick up the gos-pel
00:04:45.145 --> 00:04:46.513
You pick up the gos-pel and you make sure that it's
00:04:46.580 --> 00:04:47.648
And you make sure that it's used to shine light
00:04:47.715 --> 00:04:49.750
Used to shine light in a dark hour.
00:04:49.817 --> 00:04:51.919
In a dark hour. (applause)
00:04:51.985 --> 00:04:55.055
(applause) the bible says,
00:04:55.122 --> 00:04:55.923
The bible says, "the lord appeared again."
00:04:55.989 --> 00:04:58.625
"the lord appeared again." say that with me.
00:04:58.692 --> 00:04:59.660
Say that with me. "the lord appeared again."
00:04:59.727 --> 00:05:02.730
"the lord appeared again." so a very natural question
00:05:02.796 --> 00:05:04.031
So a very natural question would be,
00:05:04.098 --> 00:05:05.132
Would be, "where did he go?"
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.602
"where did he go?" the wording here is unique
00:05:08.669 --> 00:05:10.237
The wording here is unique because it's used to help us
00:05:10.304 --> 00:05:12.206
Because it's used to help us understand something
00:05:12.272 --> 00:05:13.807
Understand something but not really describe
00:05:13.874 --> 00:05:15.275
But not really describe the situation.
00:05:15.342 --> 00:05:17.511
The situation. when we read that the lord
00:05:17.578 --> 00:05:18.679
When we read that the lord appeared again,
00:05:18.746 --> 00:05:19.680
Appeared again, it's very natural for us
00:05:19.747 --> 00:05:21.048
It's very natural for us to believe that god left us.
00:05:21.115 --> 00:05:24.418
To believe that god left us. and yet,
00:05:24.485 --> 00:05:25.018
And yet, the bible tells us that he is
00:05:25.085 --> 00:05:26.086
The bible tells us that he is omnipresent.
00:05:26.153 --> 00:05:26.854
Omnipresent. he is everywhere all the time.
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.757
He is everywhere all the time. hebrews tells us about
00:05:29.823 --> 00:05:31.024
Hebrews tells us about jesus christ;
00:05:31.091 --> 00:05:32.126
Jesus christ; that he will never leave us
00:05:32.192 --> 00:05:33.761
That he will never leave us nor forsake us
00:05:33.827 --> 00:05:34.795
Nor forsake us even to the ends of the age.
00:05:34.862 --> 00:05:37.297
Even to the ends of the age. so how can that be true
00:05:37.364 --> 00:05:38.899
So how can that be true and these words fit
00:05:38.966 --> 00:05:40.467
And these words fit that the lord appeared again?
00:05:40.534 --> 00:05:42.770
That the lord appeared again? the truth is these words
00:05:42.836 --> 00:05:44.371
The truth is these words "the lord appeared again,"
00:05:44.438 --> 00:05:46.140
"the lord appeared again," are man's way of describing
00:05:46.206 --> 00:05:49.042
Are man's way of describing the reality of the fact that
00:05:49.109 --> 00:05:50.811
The reality of the fact that they have now once again
00:05:50.878 --> 00:05:52.613
They have now once again seen god.
00:05:52.679 --> 00:05:54.948
Seen god. understand this;
00:05:55.015 --> 00:05:56.717
Understand this; god is immovable.
00:05:56.784 --> 00:05:59.019
God is immovable. james says,
00:05:59.086 --> 00:06:00.053
James says, "there is no shadow
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.155
"there is no shadow or variation of turning
00:06:01.221 --> 00:06:02.956
Or variation of turning in him."
00:06:03.023 --> 00:06:04.625
In him." so if you were seeing god,
00:06:04.691 --> 00:06:07.461
So if you were seeing god, who is omnipresent
00:06:07.528 --> 00:06:08.629
Who is omnipresent and immovable,
00:06:08.695 --> 00:06:09.797
And immovable, and you are not seeing god
00:06:09.863 --> 00:06:12.900
And you are not seeing god in your present situation,
00:06:12.966 --> 00:06:15.068
In your present situation, the thing that changed
00:06:15.135 --> 00:06:16.270
The thing that changed is not god;
00:06:16.336 --> 00:06:17.771
Is not god; it's you.
00:06:17.838 --> 00:06:18.739
It's you. [come on.]
00:06:18.806 --> 00:06:19.373
[come on.] [amen.]
00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:20.674
[amen.] (applause)
00:06:20.741 --> 00:06:25.979
(applause) how many people say,
00:06:26.046 --> 00:06:26.947
How many people say, "i want to see god
00:06:27.014 --> 00:06:28.048
"i want to see god in my life"?
00:06:28.115 --> 00:06:28.916
In my life"? but the truth is they put on
00:06:28.982 --> 00:06:30.551
But the truth is they put on spiritual blinders and they
00:06:30.617 --> 00:06:32.019
Spiritual blinders and they can't see all that god
00:06:32.085 --> 00:06:33.520
Can't see all that god is doing.
00:06:33.587 --> 00:06:34.955
Is doing. [right.]
00:06:35.022 --> 00:06:35.422
[right.] it's not that god is hiding
00:06:35.489 --> 00:06:36.557
It's not that god is hiding from you.
00:06:36.623 --> 00:06:37.391
From you. it's that your vision has
00:06:37.458 --> 00:06:38.592
It's that your vision has gotten cloudy and your soul
00:06:38.659 --> 00:06:40.527
Gotten cloudy and your soul has gotten distracted.
00:06:40.594 --> 00:06:43.096
Has gotten distracted. what clouded your vision?
00:06:43.163 --> 00:06:44.364
What clouded your vision? what blinded you?
00:06:44.431 --> 00:06:45.599
What blinded you? for some, it's fear;
00:06:45.666 --> 00:06:46.533
For some, it's fear; for others, it's greed,
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.668
For others, it's greed, doubt,
00:06:47.734 --> 00:06:48.101
Doubt, worry,
00:06:48.168 --> 00:06:48.635
Worry, temptation.
00:06:48.702 --> 00:06:49.369
Temptation. there's a million things that
00:06:49.436 --> 00:06:50.471
There's a million things that can turn your head to
00:06:50.537 --> 00:06:51.672
Can turn your head to the right or to the left
00:06:51.738 --> 00:06:52.840
The right or to the left and take your focus off of
00:06:52.906 --> 00:06:54.107
And take your focus off of god almighty.
00:06:54.174 --> 00:06:55.008
God almighty. but i promise you,
00:06:55.075 --> 00:06:56.176
But i promise you, god hasn't changed!
00:06:56.243 --> 00:06:58.345
God hasn't changed! [amen.]
00:06:58.412 --> 00:06:59.580
[amen.] [amen.]
00:06:59.646 --> 00:07:00.380
[amen.] god is immovable.
00:07:00.447 --> 00:07:01.815
God is immovable. [that's right.]
00:07:01.882 --> 00:07:02.316
[that's right.] he's constant.
00:07:02.382 --> 00:07:03.550
He's constant. i'll prove it to you.
00:07:03.617 --> 00:07:05.252
I'll prove it to you. in joshua 18:1,
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:06.920
In joshua 18:1, it says that the children of
00:07:06.987 --> 00:07:07.988
It says that the children of israel assembled together
00:07:08.055 --> 00:07:09.857
Israel assembled together and they built a tabernacle
00:07:09.923 --> 00:07:11.358
And they built a tabernacle in shiloh.
00:07:11.425 --> 00:07:13.727
In shiloh. 1 samuel 3:21,
00:07:13.794 --> 00:07:15.929
1 samuel 3:21, it says,
00:07:15.996 --> 00:07:16.497
It says, "and the lord appeared again
00:07:16.563 --> 00:07:18.565
"and the lord appeared again in shiloh."
00:07:18.632 --> 00:07:21.468
In shiloh." where was he when they saw him
00:07:21.535 --> 00:07:23.170
Where was he when they saw him last?
00:07:23.237 --> 00:07:24.238
Last? [shiloh.]
00:07:24.304 --> 00:07:24.838
[shiloh.] shiloh.
00:07:24.905 --> 00:07:25.606
Shiloh. where was he when he showed up
00:07:25.672 --> 00:07:26.907
Where was he when he showed up again?
00:07:26.974 --> 00:07:27.941
Again? shiloh.
00:07:28.008 --> 00:07:28.809
Shiloh. guess who didn't go anywhere.
00:07:28.876 --> 00:07:31.011
Guess who didn't go anywhere. god.
00:07:31.078 --> 00:07:33.480
God. what happened in the hundreds
00:07:33.547 --> 00:07:35.249
What happened in the hundreds of years between joshua 18
00:07:35.315 --> 00:07:37.217
Of years between joshua 18 and 1 samuel 3?
00:07:37.284 --> 00:07:38.886
And 1 samuel 3? the nation of israel
00:07:38.952 --> 00:07:40.254
The nation of israel drifted away from god,
00:07:40.320 --> 00:07:42.422
Drifted away from god, who is never changing.
00:07:42.489 --> 00:07:44.324
Who is never changing. [amen.]
00:07:44.391 --> 00:07:44.925
[amen.] what's happening in
00:07:44.992 --> 00:07:45.692
What's happening in the united states of america?
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.661
The united states of america? some would say god has
00:07:47.728 --> 00:07:48.962
Some would say god has disappeared from our culture.
00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:50.497
Disappeared from our culture. not true.
00:07:50.564 --> 00:07:51.431
Not true. our culture has drifted away
00:07:51.498 --> 00:07:53.200
Our culture has drifted away from god.
00:07:53.267 --> 00:07:54.601
From god. [yes.]
00:07:54.668 --> 00:07:55.135
[yes.] we've drifted away from him
00:07:55.202 --> 00:07:56.370
We've drifted away from him in our educational facilities.
00:07:56.436 --> 00:07:58.038
In our educational facilities. we've drifted away from him
00:07:58.105 --> 00:07:59.239
We've drifted away from him in our classrooms.
00:07:59.306 --> 00:08:00.240
In our classrooms. we've drifted away from him
00:08:00.307 --> 00:08:01.575
We've drifted away from him in the hallways of
00:08:01.642 --> 00:08:02.576
In the hallways of our schools.
00:08:02.643 --> 00:08:03.277
Our schools. we've drifted away from him
00:08:03.343 --> 00:08:04.411
We've drifted away from him in our homes.
00:08:04.478 --> 00:08:05.178
In our homes. we've drifted away from him
00:08:05.245 --> 00:08:06.613
We've drifted away from him in our pulpits.
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.615
In our pulpits. [amen.]
00:08:08.682 --> 00:08:09.216
[amen.] and now,
00:08:09.283 --> 00:08:09.883
And now, we're in a situation where
00:08:09.950 --> 00:08:10.617
We're in a situation where we say,
00:08:10.684 --> 00:08:11.184
We say, "god, where are you?
00:08:11.251 --> 00:08:12.886
"god, where are you? god, why don't you appear?"
00:08:12.953 --> 00:08:15.422
God, why don't you appear?" the truth is he's right where
00:08:15.489 --> 00:08:16.990
The truth is he's right where we left him!
00:08:17.057 --> 00:08:18.458
We left him! [amen.]
00:08:18.525 --> 00:08:19.259
[amen.] if we want god to move,
00:08:19.326 --> 00:08:20.527
If we want god to move, we've got to get back to god!
00:08:20.594 --> 00:08:22.496
We've got to get back to god! if we want this nation
00:08:22.563 --> 00:08:23.564
If we want this nation to change,
00:08:23.630 --> 00:08:24.197
To change, we've got to go back to god!
00:08:24.264 --> 00:08:25.999
We've got to go back to god! if we want to see
00:08:26.066 --> 00:08:26.833
If we want to see god's blessings in our lives,
00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:28.268
God's blessings in our lives, we've got to go back to
00:08:28.335 --> 00:08:29.403
We've got to go back to his word!
00:08:29.469 --> 00:08:30.237
His word! we've got to go back to
00:08:30.304 --> 00:08:31.438
We've got to go back to his truth!
00:08:31.505 --> 00:08:32.139
His truth! we've got to go back to
00:08:32.205 --> 00:08:33.273
We've got to go back to his principles!
00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:35.075
His principles! [yes.]
00:08:35.142 --> 00:08:35.776
[yes.] (applause)
00:08:35.842 --> 00:08:37.678
(applause) ask yourself this question;
00:08:37.744 --> 00:08:39.479
Ask yourself this question; where were you the last time
00:08:39.546 --> 00:08:41.348
Where were you the last time you felt god's presence?
00:08:41.415 --> 00:08:44.184
You felt god's presence? wherever that was,
00:08:44.251 --> 00:08:45.352
Wherever that was, go there again,
00:08:45.419 --> 00:08:46.753
Go there again, and he'll reappear.
00:08:46.820 --> 00:08:48.322
And he'll reappear. [amen.]
00:08:48.388 --> 00:08:49.056
[amen.] why?
00:08:49.122 --> 00:08:49.590
Why? because he promised you
00:08:49.656 --> 00:08:50.557
Because he promised you he'd never leave you
00:08:50.624 --> 00:08:51.391
He'd never leave you nor forsake you.
00:08:51.458 --> 00:08:52.459
Nor forsake you. he promised you that he'd be
00:08:52.526 --> 00:08:53.860
He promised you that he'd be with you to the ends
00:08:53.927 --> 00:08:54.761
With you to the ends of the age.
00:08:54.828 --> 00:08:55.395
Of the age. he promised you that he'd
00:08:55.462 --> 00:08:56.530
He promised you that he'd prepare a table before you
00:08:56.597 --> 00:08:58.365
Prepare a table before you in the presence of
00:08:58.432 --> 00:08:59.199
In the presence of your enemies.
00:08:59.266 --> 00:08:59.833
Your enemies. david said,
00:08:59.900 --> 00:09:00.968
David said, "if i make my bed in hell,
00:09:01.034 --> 00:09:02.936
"if i make my bed in hell, he'll be there.
00:09:03.003 --> 00:09:03.870
He'll be there. and if i ascend to
00:09:03.937 --> 00:09:05.005
And if i ascend to the highest heavens,
00:09:05.072 --> 00:09:06.106
The highest heavens, he'll meet me there."
00:09:06.173 --> 00:09:07.507
He'll meet me there." if you walk through the valley
00:09:07.574 --> 00:09:08.976
If you walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
00:09:09.042 --> 00:09:10.177
Of the shadow of death, you have no reason to fear,
00:09:10.243 --> 00:09:11.878
You have no reason to fear, because his rod and his staff
00:09:11.945 --> 00:09:13.880
Because his rod and his staff are there to comfort you.
00:09:13.947 --> 00:09:15.215
Are there to comfort you. if you're in a day of trouble,
00:09:15.282 --> 00:09:16.650
If you're in a day of trouble, he said he would be a refuge
00:09:16.717 --> 00:09:18.285
He said he would be a refuge and a strength
00:09:18.352 --> 00:09:19.286
And a strength and a strong tower.
00:09:19.353 --> 00:09:20.487
And a strong tower. if you're in a day of battle,
00:09:20.554 --> 00:09:21.855
If you're in a day of battle, he'll be a shield
00:09:21.922 --> 00:09:22.956
He'll be a shield and he'll be a buckler.
00:09:23.023 --> 00:09:24.224
And he'll be a buckler. if you're going through
00:09:24.291 --> 00:09:25.258
If you're going through a storm,

00:14:32.732 --> 00:14:35.702
"in faith, believing." faith and believing have to
00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:37.871
Faith and believing have to go together in order for them
00:14:37.938 --> 00:14:39.272
Go together in order for them to work.
00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:40.840
To work. it's like having a car
00:14:40.907 --> 00:14:42.108
It's like having a car without a key to turn it on.
00:14:42.175 --> 00:14:44.144
Without a key to turn it on. the book of james,
00:14:44.210 --> 00:14:44.844
The book of james, in the first chapter,
00:14:44.911 --> 00:14:45.879
In the first chapter, it says that a man who doubts
00:14:45.946 --> 00:14:47.914
It says that a man who doubts shall receive nothing.
00:14:47.981 --> 00:14:51.318
Shall receive nothing. what would you receive
00:14:51.384 --> 00:14:52.152
What would you receive if you doubt?
00:14:52.218 --> 00:14:53.453
If you doubt? nothing.
00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:54.421
Nothing. so you can't pray in faith,
00:14:54.487 --> 00:14:55.855
So you can't pray in faith, doubting.
00:14:55.922 --> 00:14:57.691
Doubting. you have to pray in faith,
00:14:57.757 --> 00:14:59.459
You have to pray in faith, believing.
00:14:59.526 --> 00:15:00.593
Believing. [amen.]
00:15:00.660 --> 00:15:01.494
[amen.] and there are some people
00:15:01.561 --> 00:15:02.495
And there are some people who pray in faith, doubting.
00:15:02.562 --> 00:15:05.865
Who pray in faith, doubting. how do those prayers sound?
00:15:05.932 --> 00:15:07.667
How do those prayers sound? "oh lord, if..."
00:15:07.734 --> 00:15:11.104
"oh lord, if..." "if it be thy will,"
00:15:11.171 --> 00:15:13.239
"if it be thy will," "if you would,"
00:15:13.306 --> 00:15:14.207
"if you would," "if you could,"
00:15:14.274 --> 00:15:15.141
"if you could," "if you should."
00:15:15.208 --> 00:15:17.544
"if you should." there is no "if" in god.
00:15:17.610 --> 00:15:19.646
There is no "if" in god. [amen.]
00:15:19.713 --> 00:15:20.347
[amen.] [amen.]
00:15:20.413 --> 00:15:20.947
[amen.] pray in faith, believing.
00:15:21.014 --> 00:15:23.283
Pray in faith, believing. [amen.]
00:15:23.350 --> 00:15:23.917
[amen.] so what does that look like
00:15:23.984 --> 00:15:24.884
So what does that look like in your prayer life?
00:15:24.951 --> 00:15:25.986
In your prayer life? when you pray,
00:15:26.052 --> 00:15:27.087
When you pray, go boldly into god's
00:15:27.153 --> 00:15:29.255
Go boldly into god's throne room.
00:15:29.322 --> 00:15:30.123
Throne room. and don't beg and don't plead;
00:15:30.190 --> 00:15:32.592
And don't beg and don't plead; start proclaiming,
00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:33.927
Start proclaiming, "god, you said,
00:15:33.994 --> 00:15:35.128
"god, you said, in the authority
00:15:35.195 --> 00:15:36.062
In the authority of jesus' name,
00:15:36.129 --> 00:15:37.230
Of jesus' name, 'if i bind it on earth,
00:15:37.297 --> 00:15:38.898
'if i bind it on earth, it's bound in heaven.
00:15:38.965 --> 00:15:40.433
It's bound in heaven. if i loose it on earth,
00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:42.002
If i loose it on earth, it's loosed in heaven.'
00:15:42.068 --> 00:15:43.470
It's loosed in heaven.' therefore, i submit to god.
00:15:43.536 --> 00:15:45.372
Therefore, i submit to god. i resist the devil.
00:15:45.438 --> 00:15:46.940
I resist the devil. i am more than a conqueror
00:15:47.007 --> 00:15:48.508
I am more than a conqueror through christ.
00:15:48.575 --> 00:15:49.509
Through christ. i have the authority
00:15:49.576 --> 00:15:50.610
I have the authority of his word.
00:15:50.677 --> 00:15:51.378
Of his word. i have the power of his name.
00:15:51.444 --> 00:15:53.079
I have the power of his name. i have redemption through
00:15:53.146 --> 00:15:54.447
I have redemption through the blood.
00:15:54.514 --> 00:15:55.215
The blood. if god be for me,
00:15:55.281 --> 00:15:56.850
If god be for me, who can be against me?
00:15:56.916 --> 00:15:58.485
Who can be against me? let god arise and his enemies
00:15:58.551 --> 00:16:00.487
Let god arise and his enemies be scattered!"
00:16:00.553 --> 00:16:03.189
Be scattered!" (applause)
00:16:03.256 --> 00:16:08.328
(applause) that's how you pray.
00:16:08.395 --> 00:16:10.397
That's how you pray. [amen.]
00:16:10.463 --> 00:16:11.331
[amen.] and paul said,
00:16:11.398 --> 00:16:12.065
And paul said, "pray always."
00:16:12.132 --> 00:16:13.800
"pray always." say that with me.
00:16:13.867 --> 00:16:14.801
Say that with me. "pray always."
00:16:14.868 --> 00:16:18.538
"pray always." now sometimes people want to
00:16:18.605 --> 00:16:19.439
Now sometimes people want to confuse that issue.
00:16:19.506 --> 00:16:22.375
Confuse that issue. "how do you always pray?
00:16:22.442 --> 00:16:23.843
"how do you always pray? i mean,
00:16:23.910 --> 00:16:24.411
I mean, wouldn't it look ridiculous
00:16:24.477 --> 00:16:25.245
Wouldn't it look ridiculous if you were pushing a cart up
00:16:25.311 --> 00:16:26.546
If you were pushing a cart up and down heb,
00:16:26.613 --> 00:16:27.480
And down heb, 'oh lord, should i buy
00:16:27.547 --> 00:16:29.049
'oh lord, should i buy olive oil
00:16:29.115 --> 00:16:29.816
Olive oil or "should i buy canola?'"
00:16:29.883 --> 00:16:32.619
Or "should i buy canola?'" (laughter)
00:16:32.685 --> 00:16:33.753
(laughter) that's not what this verse
00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:34.621
That's not what this verse means.
00:16:34.687 --> 00:16:36.056
Means. (laughter)
00:16:36.122 --> 00:16:37.724
(laughter) "always" means that you are
00:16:37.791 --> 00:16:39.592
"always" means that you are constantly interrupted.
00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:43.229
Constantly interrupted. you say,
00:16:43.296 --> 00:16:43.797
You say, "well, how do i do that
00:16:43.863 --> 00:16:44.798
"well, how do i do that with my prayer life?"
00:16:44.864 --> 00:16:48.134
With my prayer life?" for example,
00:16:48.201 --> 00:16:50.070
For example, let's say you go to
00:16:50.136 --> 00:16:50.804
Let's say you go to the doctor's office,
00:16:50.870 --> 00:16:52.639
The doctor's office, and the doctor asks you,
00:16:52.705 --> 00:16:53.973
And the doctor asks you, "do you have a cough?"
00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:56.109
"do you have a cough?" you say,
00:16:56.176 --> 00:16:56.676
You say, "yes, i have a cough."
00:16:56.743 --> 00:16:58.745
"yes, i have a cough." "well, how long have you had
00:16:58.812 --> 00:16:59.779
"well, how long have you had that cough?"
00:16:59.846 --> 00:17:00.814
That cough?" "ten days."
00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:02.615
"ten days." you didn't tell the doctor
00:17:02.682 --> 00:17:04.717
You didn't tell the doctor that you had one cough
00:17:04.784 --> 00:17:06.186
That you had one cough that lasted for ten days.
00:17:06.252 --> 00:17:08.988
That lasted for ten days. what you told the doctor
00:17:09.055 --> 00:17:10.290
What you told the doctor is that your life,
00:17:10.356 --> 00:17:11.991
Is that your life, for the last ten days,
00:17:12.058 --> 00:17:13.426
For the last ten days, has been constantly
00:17:13.493 --> 00:17:14.594
Has been constantly interrupted by a cough.
00:17:14.661 --> 00:17:18.765
Interrupted by a cough. that's what this verse means,
00:17:18.832 --> 00:17:19.999
That's what this verse means, "praying always."
00:17:20.066 --> 00:17:21.234
"praying always." it means let your life
00:17:21.301 --> 00:17:23.002
It means let your life constantly be interrupted
00:17:23.069 --> 00:17:24.737
Constantly be interrupted with prayer.
00:17:24.804 --> 00:17:25.939
With prayer. [amen.]
00:17:26.005 --> 00:17:27.107
[amen.] [yes.]
00:17:27.173 --> 00:17:27.540
[yes.] let your day constantly be
00:17:27.607 --> 00:17:29.142
Let your day constantly be interrupted with conversations
00:17:29.209 --> 00:17:30.710
Interrupted with conversations that you have with god about
00:17:30.777 --> 00:17:32.245
That you have with god about the things that are going on,
00:17:32.312 --> 00:17:33.379
The things that are going on, so that he can speak to you
00:17:33.446 --> 00:17:35.348
So that he can speak to you and show you things
00:17:35.415 --> 00:17:36.683
And show you things that you do not know.
00:17:36.749 --> 00:17:38.118
That you do not know. [amen.]
00:17:38.184 --> 00:17:40.253
[amen.] when you get up,
00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:41.221
When you get up, have an interrupted moment
00:17:41.287 --> 00:17:42.355
Have an interrupted moment to say,
00:17:42.422 --> 00:17:42.922
To say, "god, thank you for this day."
00:17:42.989 --> 00:17:43.957
"god, thank you for this day." when you go to work,
00:17:44.023 --> 00:17:44.824
When you go to work, "god, thank you for this job."
00:17:44.891 --> 00:17:46.392
"god, thank you for this job." when you come home,
00:17:46.459 --> 00:17:47.427
When you come home, "god, thank you for
00:17:47.494 --> 00:17:48.228
"god, thank you for this house."
00:17:48.294 --> 00:17:48.862
This house." when you sit and you eat,
00:17:48.928 --> 00:17:49.929
When you sit and you eat, "god, thank you for
00:17:49.996 --> 00:17:50.797
"god, thank you for this food."
00:17:50.864 --> 00:17:51.531
This food." everything that you do,
00:17:51.598 --> 00:17:52.966
Everything that you do, allow god to constantly
00:17:53.032 --> 00:17:54.734
Allow god to constantly interrupt you to remind you
00:17:54.801 --> 00:17:56.302
Interrupt you to remind you that because of him,
00:17:56.369 --> 00:17:57.303
That because of him, you can do all things,
00:17:57.370 --> 00:17:58.638
You can do all things, but without him,
00:17:58.705 --> 00:17:59.506
But without him, you can do nothing.
00:17:59.572 --> 00:18:01.574
You can do nothing. (applause)
00:18:01.641 --> 00:18:09.549
(applause) were you giving the last time
00:18:09.616 --> 00:18:12.252
Were you giving the last time you saw him?
00:18:12.318 --> 00:18:15.822
You saw him? some people often wonder;
00:18:15.889 --> 00:18:16.856
Some people often wonder; when is god going to bless
00:18:16.923 --> 00:18:18.124
When is god going to bless them in their lives.
00:18:18.191 --> 00:18:20.760
Them in their lives. and the bible is very clear.
00:18:20.827 --> 00:18:22.695
And the bible is very clear. "give, and you shall receive."
00:18:22.762 --> 00:18:25.732
"give, and you shall receive." [amen.]
00:18:25.798 --> 00:18:26.733
[amen.] proverbs gives us a strong
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.067
Proverbs gives us a strong reminder.
00:18:28.134 --> 00:18:28.568
Reminder. it says,
00:18:28.635 --> 00:18:28.968
It says, "trust in the lord with all of
00:18:29.035 --> 00:18:29.969
"trust in the lord with all of your heart.
00:18:30.036 --> 00:18:30.537
Your heart. lean not to your own
00:18:30.603 --> 00:18:32.238
Lean not to your own understanding.
00:18:32.305 --> 00:18:33.339
Understanding. in all of your ways,
00:18:33.406 --> 00:18:35.208
In all of your ways, acknowledge him,
00:18:35.275 --> 00:18:36.676
Acknowledge him, and he shall direct
00:18:36.743 --> 00:18:37.477
And he shall direct your path."
00:18:37.544 --> 00:18:38.678
Your path." "honor the lord with
00:18:38.745 --> 00:18:39.412
"honor the lord with your possessions
00:18:39.479 --> 00:18:40.346
Your possessions and the first fruits,
00:18:40.413 --> 00:18:41.481
And the first fruits, and he will cause your barns
00:18:41.548 --> 00:18:43.683
And he will cause your barns to be filled with plenty
00:18:43.750 --> 00:18:45.084
To be filled with plenty and your vats to overflow
00:18:45.151 --> 00:18:47.320
And your vats to overflow with new wine."
00:18:47.387 --> 00:18:50.957
With new wine." now the thing about
00:18:51.024 --> 00:18:51.724
Now the thing about these verses,
00:18:51.791 --> 00:18:52.659
These verses, it not only speaks of god's
00:18:52.725 --> 00:18:54.160
It not only speaks of god's provision when we're willing
00:18:54.227 --> 00:18:55.261
Provision when we're willing to trust him,
00:18:55.328 --> 00:18:56.095
To trust him, but it did not give us
00:18:56.162 --> 00:18:57.230
But it did not give us a market analysis about
00:18:57.297 --> 00:18:58.831
A market analysis about when to trust him.
00:18:58.898 --> 00:19:00.900
When to trust him. it doesn't say,
00:19:00.967 --> 00:19:01.501
It doesn't say, "trust in the lord with all of
00:19:01.568 --> 00:19:02.669
"trust in the lord with all of your heart,
00:19:02.735 --> 00:19:03.203
Your heart, so long as the stock market
00:19:03.269 --> 00:19:04.204
So long as the stock market is above 20,000 points,
00:19:04.270 --> 00:19:05.872
Is above 20,000 points, your ira is paid for,
00:19:05.939 --> 00:19:07.373
Your ira is paid for, and inflation is less than
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.408
And inflation is less than 2%."
00:19:08.474 --> 00:19:11.244
2%." it didn't give you any kind
00:19:11.311 --> 00:19:12.712
It didn't give you any kind of economic indicators
00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:14.013
Of economic indicators about when it was going to be
00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:15.081
About when it was going to be convenient to trust in god.
00:19:15.148 --> 00:19:16.783
Convenient to trust in god. it simply said, "trust."
00:19:16.849 --> 00:19:19.953
It simply said, "trust." why?
00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:20.520
Why? because when you trust in him,
00:19:20.587 --> 00:19:22.255
Because when you trust in him, you are connecting your life
00:19:22.322 --> 00:19:23.957
You are connecting your life to his provision and taking it
00:19:24.023 --> 00:19:25.892
To his provision and taking it out of the inefficiencies
00:19:25.959 --> 00:19:27.660
Out of the inefficiencies of the world's provision.
00:19:27.727 --> 00:19:29.462
Of the world's provision. [amen.]
00:19:29.529 --> 00:19:30.063
[amen.] [thank you, lord]
00:19:30.129 --> 00:19:30.863
[thank you, lord] he's the same yesterday,
00:19:30.930 --> 00:19:33.233
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:35.768
Today, and forever. when you trust in him,
00:19:35.835 --> 00:19:37.103
When you trust in him, when you honor him,
00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:38.438
When you honor him, he'll appear in your finances.
00:19:38.504 --> 00:19:40.740
He'll appear in your finances. he'll make you,
00:19:40.807 --> 00:19:41.874
He'll make you, according to his word,
00:19:41.941 --> 00:19:43.109
According to his word, "the head and not the tail,
00:19:43.176 --> 00:19:44.811
"the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath."
00:19:44.877 --> 00:19:46.646
Above only and not beneath." he'll accomplish everything
00:19:46.713 --> 00:19:48.114
He'll accomplish everything that his word has promised
00:19:48.181 --> 00:19:49.282
That his word has promised you.
00:19:49.349 --> 00:19:49.782
You. he'll open the windows of

He'll open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings
00:19:50.750 --> 00:19:52.352
Heaven and pour out blessings that you cannot contain.
00:19:52.418 --> 00:19:53.820
That you cannot contain. he'll rebuke the devourer
00:19:53.886 --> 00:19:55.321
He'll rebuke the devourer for your sake.
00:19:55.388 --> 00:19:56.289
For your sake. the seed that you plant will
00:19:56.356 --> 00:19:57.724
The seed that you plant will come forth in its harvest.
00:19:57.790 --> 00:19:59.192
Come forth in its harvest. your leaf will not wither,
00:19:59.259 --> 00:20:00.860
Your leaf will not wither, and whatever you do,
00:20:00.927 --> 00:20:02.595
And whatever you do, it will prosper.
00:20:02.662 --> 00:20:05.565
It will prosper. [amen.]
00:20:05.632 --> 00:20:06.332
[amen.] [amen.]
00:20:06.399 --> 00:20:07.133
[amen.] if you want to see god,
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.568
If you want to see god, praise him.
00:20:08.635 --> 00:20:10.103
Praise him. [amen.]
00:20:10.169 --> 00:20:10.637
[amen.] pray to him
00:20:10.703 --> 00:20:11.871
Pray to him and trust in him.
00:20:11.938 --> 00:20:15.975
And trust in him. between joshua 18
00:20:16.042 --> 00:20:19.579
Between joshua 18 and 1 samuel 3,
00:20:19.646 --> 00:20:23.082
And 1 samuel 3, hundreds of years of history
00:20:23.149 --> 00:20:24.817
Hundreds of years of history go by.
00:20:24.884 --> 00:20:27.487
Go by. and so some people would
00:20:27.553 --> 00:20:28.354
And so some people would wonder,
00:20:28.421 --> 00:20:29.289
Wonder, one, if god appeared again,
00:20:29.355 --> 00:20:31.457
One, if god appeared again, where did he go?
00:20:31.524 --> 00:20:33.526
Where did he go? we dealt with that.
00:20:33.593 --> 00:20:34.327
We dealt with that. he didn't go anywhere;
00:20:34.394 --> 00:20:35.728
He didn't go anywhere; we went adrift.
00:20:35.795 --> 00:20:37.830
We went adrift. the other thing that people
00:20:37.897 --> 00:20:38.898
The other thing that people would ask is,
00:20:38.965 --> 00:20:39.866
Would ask is, "what took him so long?"
00:20:39.932 --> 00:20:43.202
"what took him so long?" "why did he wait to reveal
00:20:43.269 --> 00:20:44.470
"why did he wait to reveal himself when he revealed
00:20:44.537 --> 00:20:45.605
Himself when he revealed himself?"
00:20:45.672 --> 00:20:47.206
Himself?" and the answer can be found
00:20:47.273 --> 00:20:48.608
And the answer can be found in the purpose that samuel
00:20:48.675 --> 00:20:50.076
In the purpose that samuel served in the nation
00:20:50.143 --> 00:20:51.377
Served in the nation of israel.
00:20:51.444 --> 00:20:53.146
Of israel. samuel was not only a prophet,
00:20:53.212 --> 00:20:54.814
Samuel was not only a prophet, but samuel was a priest,
00:20:54.881 --> 00:20:55.982
But samuel was a priest, and samuel was a judge,
00:20:56.049 --> 00:20:59.085
And samuel was a judge, and samuel served
00:20:59.152 --> 00:21:00.520
And samuel served his generation well.
00:21:00.586 --> 00:21:03.122
His generation well. but the purpose of
00:21:03.189 --> 00:21:03.923
But the purpose of samuel's life was not just
00:21:03.990 --> 00:21:05.625
Samuel's life was not just to accomplish those things,
00:21:05.692 --> 00:21:07.193
To accomplish those things, but he was the one that god
00:21:07.260 --> 00:21:09.028
But he was the one that god chose to anoint
00:21:09.095 --> 00:21:10.963
Chose to anoint god's chosen king.
00:21:11.030 --> 00:21:15.134
God's chosen king. you see, samuel,
00:21:15.201 --> 00:21:16.035
You see, samuel, in his old age,
00:21:16.102 --> 00:21:17.136
In his old age, was commanded by god to go to
00:21:17.203 --> 00:21:19.005
Was commanded by god to go to the house of jesse in a town
00:21:19.072 --> 00:21:20.673
The house of jesse in a town called bethlehem,
00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:21.774
Called bethlehem, because there in that house,
00:21:21.841 --> 00:21:23.910
Because there in that house, god had appointed himself
00:21:23.976 --> 00:21:26.346
God had appointed himself a king.
00:21:26.412 --> 00:21:28.448
A king. we know the story.
00:21:28.514 --> 00:21:29.248
We know the story. samuel found david.
00:21:29.315 --> 00:21:30.483
Samuel found david. samuel anointed david.
00:21:30.550 --> 00:21:32.685
Samuel anointed david. and in the life of david,
00:21:32.752 --> 00:21:34.887
And in the life of david, god told david that his seed
00:21:34.954 --> 00:21:37.790
God told david that his seed would sit on the throne
00:21:37.857 --> 00:21:38.925
Would sit on the throne in jerusalem forever.
00:21:38.991 --> 00:21:41.260
In jerusalem forever. that seed it was same promised
00:21:41.327 --> 00:21:43.329
That seed it was same promised seed as the one in genesis 3
00:21:43.396 --> 00:21:45.965
Seed as the one in genesis 3 that would come from the woman
00:21:46.032 --> 00:21:47.100
That would come from the woman and crush the head
00:21:47.166 --> 00:21:47.867
And crush the head of the serpent.
00:21:47.934 --> 00:21:48.468
Of the serpent. his name was jesus christ.
00:21:48.534 --> 00:21:52.004
His name was jesus christ. (applause)
00:21:52.071 --> 00:21:56.242
(applause) so the point is this;
00:21:56.309 --> 00:21:58.711
So the point is this; god's timing is always
00:21:58.778 --> 00:22:01.347
God's timing is always centered around
00:22:01.414 --> 00:22:02.749
Centered around god's revelation of his king.
00:22:02.815 --> 00:22:07.286
God's revelation of his king. david was his king.
00:22:07.353 --> 00:22:09.689
David was his king. david was the man after
00:22:09.756 --> 00:22:11.124
David was the man after god's own heart.
00:22:11.190 --> 00:22:12.091
God's own heart. god put samuel on the earth
00:22:12.158 --> 00:22:14.327
God put samuel on the earth so that david could sit on
00:22:14.394 --> 00:22:15.962
So that david could sit on the throne,
00:22:16.028 --> 00:22:16.662
The throne, so that it would prepare
00:22:16.729 --> 00:22:17.530
So that it would prepare the way for jesus christ
00:22:17.597 --> 00:22:19.298
The way for jesus christ to come and do the same.
00:22:19.365 --> 00:22:21.667
To come and do the same. in our world,
00:22:21.734 --> 00:22:22.535
In our world, we wonder,
00:22:22.602 --> 00:22:23.202
We wonder, "where is god?"
00:22:23.269 --> 00:22:24.170
"where is god?" god is where his word is.
00:22:24.237 --> 00:22:26.672
God is where his word is. where did he go?
00:22:26.739 --> 00:22:27.607
Where did he go? he didn't move.
00:22:27.673 --> 00:22:28.574
He didn't move. he's always been right where
00:22:28.641 --> 00:22:29.942
He's always been right where he was.
00:22:30.009 --> 00:22:30.643
He was. when is he going to reveal
00:22:30.710 --> 00:22:32.078
When is he going to reveal himself again?
00:22:32.145 --> 00:22:33.212
Himself again? i'm so glad that you asked --
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.015
I'm so glad that you asked -- (laughter)
00:22:36.082 --> 00:22:37.316
(laughter) -- because god has an anointed
00:22:37.383 --> 00:22:38.851
-- because god has an anointed and an appointed king.
00:22:38.918 --> 00:22:40.920
And an appointed king. he is the son of david,
00:22:40.987 --> 00:22:43.055
He is the son of david, the shepherd boy.
00:22:43.122 --> 00:22:44.090
The shepherd boy. he has died and risen again.
00:22:44.157 --> 00:22:46.092
He has died and risen again. and he is currently seated
00:22:46.159 --> 00:22:47.460
And he is currently seated at the right hand of god
00:22:47.527 --> 00:22:48.895
At the right hand of god the father.
00:22:48.961 --> 00:22:49.595
The father. but soon,
00:22:49.662 --> 00:22:50.496
But soon, god is going to reveal himself
00:22:50.563 --> 00:22:52.398
God is going to reveal himself with power and authority
00:22:52.465 --> 00:22:54.000
With power and authority when the trump of god
00:22:54.066 --> 00:22:55.234
When the trump of god shall sound,
00:22:55.301 --> 00:22:56.068
Shall sound, and the dead in christ
00:22:56.135 --> 00:22:57.069
And the dead in christ shall rise,
00:22:57.136 --> 00:22:58.004
Shall rise, and we who are alive
00:22:58.070 --> 00:22:59.205
And we who are alive and remain shall be caught up
00:22:59.272 --> 00:23:01.240
And remain shall be caught up to meet the lord in the air.
00:23:01.307 --> 00:23:03.042
To meet the lord in the air. child of god,
00:23:03.109 --> 00:23:03.976
Child of god, we will see the king
00:23:04.043 --> 00:23:05.678
We will see the king when he comes.
00:23:05.745 --> 00:23:06.846
When he comes. and when he comes,

And when he comes, of his kingdom,

Of his kingdom, there shall be no end!

There shall be no end! i don't know about you,
