00:00:59.692 --> 00:00:13.941
Pastor matt hagee: this nation
00:00:14.008 --> 00:00:15.776
Pastor matt hagee: this nation is out of order.
00:00:15.843 --> 00:00:18.245
Is out of order. and the thing that bothers me
00:00:18.312 --> 00:00:19.613
And the thing that bothers me the most about having
00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:20.514
The most about having to say that is for
00:00:20.581 --> 00:00:21.982
To say that is for so long it was in order.
00:00:22.049 --> 00:00:27.388
So long it was in order. when you look at the problems
00:00:27.455 --> 00:00:28.122
When you look at the problems that we're facing
00:00:28.189 --> 00:00:29.690
That we're facing in the united states,
00:00:29.757 --> 00:00:31.325
In the united states, they're recent compared
00:00:31.392 --> 00:00:32.693
They're recent compared to our full history.
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:35.029
To our full history. we have been
00:00:35.096 --> 00:00:35.830
We have been the united states for 248 years,
00:00:35.896 --> 00:00:41.235
The united states for 248 years, and for roughly the first
00:00:41.302 --> 00:00:42.336
And for roughly the first 200 years we lived under
00:00:42.403 --> 00:00:46.040
200 years we lived under the concept that how we were
00:00:46.107 --> 00:00:48.442
The concept that how we were to survive was closely
00:00:48.509 --> 00:00:50.177
To survive was closely connected to god our creator.
00:00:50.244 --> 00:00:55.015
Connected to god our creator. recently, those who want
00:00:55.082 --> 00:00:56.851
Recently, those who want to revise history are trying
00:00:56.917 --> 00:00:58.486
To revise history are trying to tell a different story.
00:00:58.552 --> 00:00:59.720
To tell a different story. but today i want you to hear
00:00:59.787 --> 00:01:01.489
But today i want you to hear the truth based on what
00:01:01.555 --> 00:01:03.224
The truth based on what the founding fathers wrote,
00:01:03.290 --> 00:01:04.758
The founding fathers wrote, based on how we survived
00:01:04.825 --> 00:01:06.527
Based on how we survived as a nation,
00:01:06.594 --> 00:01:07.661
As a nation, and based on the fact
00:01:07.728 --> 00:01:08.896
And based on the fact that if we don't get back
00:01:08.963 --> 00:01:10.564
That if we don't get back to our righteous roots,
00:01:10.631 --> 00:01:12.032
To our righteous roots, we are going to die of rot.
00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:16.170
Now, where did we begin?
00:01:16.704 --> 00:01:19.907
Now, where did we begin? july 4th, 1776.
00:01:19.974 --> 00:01:22.810
July 4th, 1776. through the end of june
00:01:22.877 --> 00:01:23.777
Through the end of june and the first week of july,
00:01:23.844 --> 00:01:25.346
And the first week of july, there was a great debate
00:01:25.412 --> 00:01:26.647
There was a great debate about what was going
00:01:26.714 --> 00:01:28.115
About what was going to be written down
00:01:28.182 --> 00:01:29.216
To be written down and how it was going
00:01:29.283 --> 00:01:30.484
And how it was going to be presented because
00:01:30.551 --> 00:01:31.819
To be presented because the 56 signers of that
00:01:31.886 --> 00:01:34.021
The 56 signers of that declaration recognized
00:01:34.088 --> 00:01:35.890
Declaration recognized that with their signature,
00:01:35.956 --> 00:01:37.825
That with their signature, they were either signing
00:01:37.892 --> 00:01:38.759
They were either signing their death warrant
00:01:38.826 --> 00:01:40.127
Their death warrant or they were signing
00:01:40.194 --> 00:01:41.362
Or they were signing a document that was going
00:01:41.428 --> 00:01:42.663
A document that was going to create a nation that had
00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:44.565
To create a nation that had never existed in
00:01:44.632 --> 00:01:45.499
Never existed in the history of the world.
00:01:45.566 --> 00:01:47.968
The history of the world. two hundred and forty-eight
00:01:48.035 --> 00:01:48.836
Two hundred and forty-eight years ago, it was written
00:01:48.903 --> 00:01:52.106
Years ago, it was written that according to the laws
00:01:52.173 --> 00:01:53.974
That according to the laws of nature and the laws of god.
00:01:54.041 --> 00:01:58.312
Of nature and the laws of god. "say what?
00:01:58.379 --> 00:02:01.282
"say what? you mean,
00:02:01.348 --> 00:02:02.049
You mean, our founding fathers
00:02:02.116 --> 00:02:04.051
Our founding fathers recognized god?
00:02:04.118 --> 00:02:07.755
Recognized god? are you to tell me that
00:02:07.821 --> 00:02:09.156
Are you to tell me that in the first document recorded
00:02:09.223 --> 00:02:12.059
In the first document recorded as a nation we actually
00:02:12.126 --> 00:02:14.762
As a nation we actually talk about god?"
00:02:14.828 --> 00:02:21.035
Talk about god?" of course, i'm being sarcastic,
00:02:21.101 --> 00:02:22.236
Of course, i'm being sarcastic, but the reason why
00:02:22.303 --> 00:02:22.970
But the reason why it's important to understand
00:02:23.037 --> 00:02:24.572
It's important to understand is because you cannot remove
00:02:24.638 --> 00:02:26.507
Is because you cannot remove the fingerprints of god
00:02:26.574 --> 00:02:27.808
The fingerprints of god from the foundations
00:02:27.875 --> 00:02:28.809
From the foundations of the united states of america.
00:02:28.876 --> 00:02:30.511
[applause]
00:02:30.878 --> 00:02:37.284
When the founding fathers laid
00:02:37.818 --> 00:02:39.053
When the founding fathers laid the foundation of this nation,
00:02:39.119 --> 00:02:41.755
The foundation of this nation, they said that the laws
00:02:41.822 --> 00:02:42.656
They said that the laws of nature and the laws of god
00:02:42.723 --> 00:02:45.960
Of nature and the laws of god held truths that were
00:02:46.026 --> 00:02:48.896
Held truths that were self-evident.
00:02:48.963 --> 00:02:51.932
Self-evident. the word self-evident means
00:02:51.999 --> 00:02:53.734
The word self-evident means that it is so obvious
00:02:53.801 --> 00:02:56.337
That it is so obvious that if you are
00:02:56.403 --> 00:02:57.404
That if you are smart enough to wave,
00:02:57.471 --> 00:02:59.039
Smart enough to wave, bye-bye, you should see this.
00:02:59.106 --> 00:03:02.977
Bye-bye, you should see this. now, they wouldn't say that,
00:03:03.043 --> 00:03:04.044
Now, they wouldn't say that, that's too offensive,
00:03:04.111 --> 00:03:04.878
That's too offensive, but you need to know
00:03:04.945 --> 00:03:05.713
But you need to know just how simple it was.
00:03:05.779 --> 00:03:07.948
Just how simple it was. they're saying everybody
00:03:08.015 --> 00:03:09.350
They're saying everybody should know this intuitively
00:03:09.416 --> 00:03:11.151
Should know this intuitively because the laws of nature
00:03:11.218 --> 00:03:12.753
Because the laws of nature and the laws of god hold
00:03:12.820 --> 00:03:14.755
And the laws of god hold these truths to be obvious.
00:03:14.822 --> 00:03:17.324
These truths to be obvious. that obvious truth was that
00:03:17.391 --> 00:03:19.093
That obvious truth was that all men were created equal.
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.097
[applause]
00:03:23.397 --> 00:03:28.135
All men are created equal
00:03:28.369 --> 00:03:30.170
All men are created equal means that you and i
00:03:30.237 --> 00:03:31.972
Means that you and i and everyone who draws breath
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.941
And everyone who draws breath are equally valued by god,
00:03:34.008 --> 00:03:36.910
Are equally valued by god, and that we were endowed,
00:03:36.977 --> 00:03:38.646
And that we were endowed, that means given power
00:03:38.712 --> 00:03:40.281
That means given power by our creator.
00:03:40.347 --> 00:03:41.448
By our creator. oh, my goodness, did they say
00:03:41.515 --> 00:03:42.883
Oh, my goodness, did they say that god was a creator?
00:03:42.950 --> 00:03:44.685
Wow.
00:03:45.119 --> 00:03:46.287
Mind blown.
00:03:47.087 --> 00:03:52.826
Mind blown. if god is a creator,
00:03:52.893 --> 00:03:55.296
If god is a creator, then why are we in
00:03:55.362 --> 00:03:56.263
Then why are we in the united states teaching
00:03:56.330 --> 00:03:57.931
The united states teaching that you evolved from an ape?
00:03:57.998 --> 00:04:01.068
That you evolved from an ape? if the declaration says
00:04:01.135 --> 00:04:02.636
If the declaration says that god is a creator,
00:04:02.703 --> 00:04:05.406
That god is a creator, we would have lived
00:04:05.472 --> 00:04:06.540
We would have lived in an environment where
00:04:06.607 --> 00:04:08.075
In an environment where we recognized he created
00:04:08.142 --> 00:04:09.843
We recognized he created them male and female,
00:04:09.910 --> 00:04:12.012
Them male and female, and he made them
00:04:12.079 --> 00:04:13.547
And he made them different for a reason,
00:04:13.614 --> 00:04:15.282
Different for a reason, and we wouldn't have to be
00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:16.684
And we wouldn't have to be suffering under this lie
00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:19.520
Suffering under this lie and indoctrination
00:04:19.586 --> 00:04:20.554
And indoctrination of a transgenderism.
00:04:20.621 --> 00:04:22.089
[applause]
00:04:22.456 --> 00:04:26.493
Said they were endowed
00:04:28.996 --> 00:04:29.897
Said they were endowed by their creator with
00:04:29.963 --> 00:04:31.098
By their creator with certain unalienable rights.
00:04:31.165 --> 00:04:33.400
Certain unalienable rights. an unalienable right means
00:04:33.467 --> 00:04:35.169
An unalienable right means there is nothing
00:04:35.235 --> 00:04:36.136
There is nothing you can do about it.
00:04:36.203 --> 00:04:37.371
You can do about it. you can't take it,
00:04:37.438 --> 00:04:38.305
You can't take it, you can't break it,
00:04:38.372 --> 00:04:39.640
You can't break it, because it didn't come from you,
00:04:39.707 --> 00:04:41.375
Because it didn't come from you, it came from god.
00:04:41.442 --> 00:04:43.310
It came from god. and these untakeable,
00:04:43.377 --> 00:04:44.912
And these untakeable, unbreakable rights were
00:04:44.978 --> 00:04:46.714
Unbreakable rights were three things, life, liberty,
00:04:46.780 --> 00:04:49.450
Three things, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:04:49.516 --> 00:04:52.820
And the pursuit of happiness. god bless these founding fathers
00:04:52.886 --> 00:04:55.122
God bless these founding fathers for understanding what life,
00:04:55.189 --> 00:04:57.458
For understanding what life, liberty, and the pursuit
00:04:57.524 --> 00:04:58.992
Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is
00:04:59.059 --> 00:05:00.427
Of happiness is and where it came from.
00:05:00.494 --> 00:05:01.762
And where it came from. now, i'm just amazed
00:05:01.829 --> 00:05:03.030
Now, i'm just amazed that somebody could say
00:05:03.097 --> 00:05:04.231
That somebody could say those things without
00:05:04.298 --> 00:05:05.199
Those things without teleprompters right here
00:05:05.265 --> 00:05:06.567
Teleprompters right here telling them everything
00:05:06.633 --> 00:05:07.434
Telling them everything that they should do.
00:05:07.501 --> 00:05:08.602
[applause]
00:05:09.036 --> 00:05:15.042
But that's just in
00:05:16.009 --> 00:05:16.577
But that's just in the opening paragraph.
00:05:16.643 --> 00:05:17.444
The opening paragraph. let's break it down
00:05:17.511 --> 00:05:18.245
Let's break it down a little further.
00:05:18.312 --> 00:05:19.413
A little further. one, it tells us that
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.315
One, it tells us that our 56 founding fathers
00:05:21.382 --> 00:05:23.484
Our 56 founding fathers believed in god.
00:05:23.550 --> 00:05:25.619
Believed in god. it also said that
00:05:25.686 --> 00:05:26.387
It also said that god was a creator.
00:05:26.453 --> 00:05:27.921
God was a creator. and in paragraph three
00:05:27.988 --> 00:05:29.556
And in paragraph three it says that they yield
00:05:29.623 --> 00:05:31.058
It says that they yield to the supreme judge
00:05:31.125 --> 00:05:33.160
To the supreme judge of the world,
00:05:33.227 --> 00:05:33.761
Of the world, once again referencing god.
00:05:33.827 --> 00:05:36.497
Once again referencing god. and then, they said
00:05:36.563 --> 00:05:37.364
And then, they said that god is sovereign,
00:05:37.431 --> 00:05:39.299
That god is sovereign, because in the final paragraph
00:05:39.366 --> 00:05:40.634
Because in the final paragraph it says, "with firm reliance
00:05:40.701 --> 00:05:42.136
It says, "with firm reliance on the protection
00:05:42.202 --> 00:05:43.270
On the protection of divine providence."
00:05:43.337 --> 00:05:45.539
Of divine providence." now, the word providence means
00:05:45.606 --> 00:05:47.141
Now, the word providence means that everything happens
00:05:47.207 --> 00:05:48.642
That everything happens and comes through one being
00:05:48.709 --> 00:05:50.744
And comes through one being who approves it all.
00:05:50.811 --> 00:05:51.845
Who approves it all. that being is god.
00:05:51.912 --> 00:05:54.515
That being is god. providence says it's not
00:05:54.581 --> 00:05:55.916
Providence says it's not an accident that you're
00:05:55.983 --> 00:05:56.750
An accident that you're at church today,
00:05:56.817 --> 00:05:57.418
At church today, god knew you'd be
00:05:57.484 --> 00:05:58.652
God knew you'd be at church today.
00:05:58.719 --> 00:05:59.520
At church today. he knew what you'd hear today.
00:05:59.586 --> 00:06:01.255
He knew what you'd hear today. he knew what you'd need today.
00:06:01.321 --> 00:06:02.623
He knew what you'd need today. and in his providence,
00:06:02.689 --> 00:06:03.991
And in his providence, he orchestrated all of that
00:06:04.057 --> 00:06:05.492
He orchestrated all of that to get at the same place
00:06:05.559 --> 00:06:06.727
To get at the same place at the same time,
00:06:06.794 --> 00:06:07.728
At the same time, so once again, you'd have
00:06:07.795 --> 00:06:08.829
So once again, you'd have just what you needed,
00:06:08.896 --> 00:06:09.897
Just what you needed, when you needed it,
00:06:09.963 --> 00:06:10.531
When you needed it, from the same god who
00:06:10.597 --> 00:06:11.532
From the same god who gave it to you yesterday
00:06:11.598 --> 00:06:12.599
Gave it to you yesterday and promised it'll be
00:06:12.666 --> 00:06:13.967
And promised it'll be there again tomorrow.
00:06:14.034 --> 00:06:14.668
[applause]
00:06:15.002 --> 00:06:21.141
So, they said that
00:06:21.575 --> 00:06:22.709
So, they said that based on divine providence,
00:06:22.776 --> 00:06:25.179
Based on divine providence, god had basically picked them
00:06:25.245 --> 00:06:27.881
God had basically picked them like he did esther for
00:06:27.948 --> 00:06:29.683
Like he did esther for such a time as this.
00:06:29.750 --> 00:06:33.454
Such a time as this. and they said,
00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:33.987
And they said, "if he picked us for
00:06:34.054 --> 00:06:34.955
"if he picked us for this moment in history,
00:06:35.022 --> 00:06:36.056
This moment in history, then he'll protect us
00:06:36.123 --> 00:06:37.124
Then he'll protect us no matter what the risk is."
00:06:37.191 --> 00:06:40.494
No matter what the risk is." and knowing that their
00:06:40.561 --> 00:06:41.562
And knowing that their risk was great, they said,
00:06:41.628 --> 00:06:45.299
Risk was great, they said, "under the protection
00:06:45.365 --> 00:06:46.200
"under the protection of divine providence,
00:06:46.266 --> 00:06:47.334
Of divine providence, we pledge our lives,
00:06:47.401 --> 00:06:48.869
We pledge our lives, our fortunes,
00:06:48.936 --> 00:06:50.337
Our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
00:06:50.404 --> 00:06:52.606
And our sacred honor." and 56 men signed
00:06:52.673 --> 00:06:54.208
And 56 men signed a declaration of independence
00:06:54.274 --> 00:06:55.843
A declaration of independence that began a nation,
00:06:55.909 --> 00:06:58.946
That began a nation, a nation with common descent,
00:06:59.012 --> 00:07:02.149
A nation with common descent, not a descent of blood,
00:07:02.216 --> 00:07:03.617
Not a descent of blood, but a descent of an idea.
00:07:03.684 --> 00:07:06.019
But a descent of an idea. the idea that it didn't matter
00:07:06.086 --> 00:07:07.688
The idea that it didn't matter where you came from,
00:07:07.754 --> 00:07:08.589
Where you came from, and it didn't matter
00:07:08.655 --> 00:07:09.289
And it didn't matter what color you were,
00:07:09.356 --> 00:07:10.123
What color you were, and it didn't matter
00:07:10.190 --> 00:07:10.824
And it didn't matter what your background was.
00:07:10.891 --> 00:07:11.959
What your background was. if you valued life, liberty,
00:07:12.025 --> 00:07:14.495
If you valued life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
00:07:14.561 --> 00:07:15.896
And the pursuit of happiness, you could come and be
00:07:15.963 --> 00:07:17.264
You could come and be part of america.
00:07:17.331 --> 00:07:19.533
Part of america. not only if you
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:20.367
Not only if you valued life, liberty,
00:07:20.434 --> 00:07:21.502
Valued life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
00:07:21.568 --> 00:07:22.603
And the pursuit of happiness, but you were willing to work
00:07:22.669 --> 00:07:24.571
But you were willing to work on what is called
00:07:24.638 --> 00:07:26.373
On what is called a more perfect union.
00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:29.743
A more perfect union. that more perfect union phrase
00:07:29.810 --> 00:07:31.445
That more perfect union phrase actually doesn't come
00:07:31.512 --> 00:07:32.546
Actually doesn't come from the declaration,
00:07:32.613 --> 00:07:33.547
From the declaration, it comes from the constitution.
00:07:33.614 --> 00:07:36.316
It comes from the constitution. and the constitution
00:07:36.383 --> 00:07:37.050
And the constitution is a contract between
00:07:37.117 --> 00:07:38.452
Is a contract between the government and the people.
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.555
The government and the people. you need to understand
00:07:41.622 --> 00:07:42.556
You need to understand something, the government
00:07:42.623 --> 00:07:43.524
Something, the government we have is infringing upon
00:07:43.590 --> 00:07:45.726
We have is infringing upon your contract that
00:07:45.792 --> 00:07:47.828
Your contract that they signed with you back
00:07:47.895 --> 00:07:49.263
They signed with you back in the beginning of this nation.
00:07:49.329 --> 00:07:50.731
[applause]
00:07:51.064 --> 00:07:56.336
One of the ways that
00:07:56.803 --> 00:07:57.771
One of the ways that this nation has slipped
00:07:57.838 --> 00:07:58.839
This nation has slipped so far from its foundation
00:07:58.906 --> 00:08:00.507
So far from its foundation is that they have intimidated
00:08:00.574 --> 00:08:02.442
Is that they have intimidated god's people into silence.
00:08:02.509 --> 00:08:04.912
God's people into silence. do not ever be intimidated
00:08:04.978 --> 00:08:07.147
Do not ever be intimidated into silence and recognize
00:08:07.214 --> 00:08:09.249
Into silence and recognize if god be for you,
00:08:09.316 --> 00:08:11.251
If god be for you, who can be against you?
00:08:11.318 --> 00:08:12.953
Who can be against you? it's time for us to let
00:08:13.020 --> 00:08:14.922
It's time for us to let god arise and let his
00:08:14.988 --> 00:08:16.456
God arise and let his enemies be scattered.
00:08:16.523 --> 00:08:18.458
[applause]
00:08:18.792 --> 00:08:22.896
We began believing
00:08:24.464 --> 00:08:26.533
We began believing in god our creator,
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:27.834
In god our creator, believing in god
00:08:27.901 --> 00:08:29.069
Believing in god the divine giver of power,
00:08:29.136 --> 00:08:30.737
The divine giver of power, believing in a providential
00:08:30.804 --> 00:08:32.439
Believing in a providential and sovereign god.
00:08:32.506 --> 00:08:33.440
And sovereign god. how did we get where we are?
00:08:33.507 --> 00:08:36.410
How did we get where we are? we're out of order.
00:08:36.476 --> 00:08:38.579
We're out of order. we've forgotten the foundation.
00:08:38.645 --> 00:08:41.048
We've forgotten the foundation. and psalms 11 tells us,
00:08:41.114 --> 00:08:42.516
And psalms 11 tells us, "if the foundations
00:08:42.583 --> 00:08:44.184
"if the foundations be destroyed, what then
00:08:44.251 --> 00:08:46.920
Be destroyed, what then can the righteous do?"
00:08:46.987 --> 00:08:48.922
Can the righteous do?" we've forgotten how to be
00:08:48.989 --> 00:08:50.157
We've forgotten how to be one nation under god,
00:08:50.223 --> 00:08:51.391
One nation under god, and we are more divided now
00:08:51.458 --> 00:08:52.960
And we are more divided now than we've ever been before.
00:08:53.026 --> 00:08:55.262
Than we've ever been before. jesus said this,
00:08:55.329 --> 00:08:56.229
Jesus said this, "a house divided
00:08:56.296 --> 00:08:57.831
"a house divided against itself cannot stand."
00:08:57.898 --> 00:09:02.035
Against itself cannot stand." later, abraham lincoln,
00:09:02.102 --> 00:09:03.370
Later, abraham lincoln, when he was running
00:09:03.437 --> 00:09:04.271
When he was running for the senate,
00:09:04.338 --> 00:09:05.939
For the senate, used this same phrase
00:09:06.006 --> 00:09:08.542
Used this same phrase to describe the nation
00:09:08.609 --> 00:09:09.576
To describe the nation that he was seeking
00:09:09.643 --> 00:09:10.744
That he was seeking to help with his leadership.
00:09:10.811 --> 00:09:13.580
To help with his leadership. if we were divided
00:09:13.647 --> 00:09:14.381
If we were divided in lincoln's day,
00:09:14.448 --> 00:09:15.549
In lincoln's day, how much more are we today?
00:09:15.616 --> 00:09:19.553
How much more are we today? we've publicly and privately
00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:21.755
We've publicly and privately pushed god out of society.
00:09:21.822 --> 00:09:25.158
Pushed god out of society. we no longer prioritize him.
00:09:25.225 --> 00:09:28.695
We no longer prioritize him. just think about this,
00:09:28.762 --> 00:09:30.263
Just think about this, when i was a kid,
00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:31.531
When i was a kid, if you wanted groceries,
00:09:31.598 --> 00:09:32.966
If you wanted groceries, get them on saturday.
00:09:33.033 --> 00:09:35.469
Get them on saturday. why?
00:09:35.535 --> 00:09:36.003
Why? because on sunday
00:09:36.069 --> 00:09:36.870
Because on sunday the stores were closed.
00:09:36.937 --> 00:09:37.771
[applause]
00:09:38.171 --> 00:09:40.474
Now, we prioritize everything.
00:09:41.608 --> 00:09:47.547
Now, we prioritize everything. "haven't seen you at church
00:09:47.614 --> 00:09:48.348
"haven't seen you at church in a while."
00:09:48.415 --> 00:09:49.016
In a while." "well, we had ball."
00:09:49.082 --> 00:09:52.686
"well, we had ball." don't get me wrong.
00:09:52.753 --> 00:09:53.220
Don't get me wrong. i love athletics
00:09:53.286 --> 00:09:54.154
I love athletics and i love sports,
00:09:54.221 --> 00:09:56.056
And i love sports, and i've got four kids
00:09:56.123 --> 00:09:56.990
And i've got four kids and i understand all
00:09:57.057 --> 00:09:58.091
And i understand all of the details of what
00:09:58.158 --> 00:09:59.026
Of the details of what it takes to get involved
00:09:59.092 --> 00:10:00.060
It takes to get involved in those environments.
00:10:00.127 --> 00:10:02.896
In those environments. but there is a 0.002 chance
00:10:02.963 --> 00:10:05.799
But there is a 0.002 chance that your child is ever going
00:10:05.866 --> 00:10:07.267
That your child is ever going to play a professional sport
00:10:07.334 --> 00:10:08.735
To play a professional sport and there is a 100% chance
00:10:08.802 --> 00:10:10.504
And there is a 100% chance that they're going to meet
00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:11.171
That they're going to meet king jesus someday.
00:10:11.238 --> 00:10:12.572
[applause]
00:10:13.006 --> 00:10:20.714
So, make sure
00:10:21.081 --> 00:10:21.782
So, make sure that your priority
00:10:21.848 --> 00:10:22.616
That your priority is to put him first.
00:10:22.683 --> 00:10:24.685
How did we get where we are?
00:10:28.088 --> 00:10:30.290
How did we get where we are? we've forgotten god.
00:10:30.357 --> 00:10:31.258
We've forgotten god. and psalms 9:17 says,
00:10:31.324 --> 00:10:33.393
And psalms 9:17 says, "every nation that forgets
00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:34.795
"every nation that forgets god is turned into hell."
00:10:34.861 --> 00:10:39.399
God is turned into hell." i believe, like our
00:10:39.466 --> 00:10:41.735
I believe, like our founding fathers, who said
00:10:41.802 --> 00:10:43.770
Founding fathers, who said that they were put on earth
00:10:43.837 --> 00:10:46.940
That they were put on earth for such a time as this,
00:10:47.007 --> 00:10:49.376
For such a time as this, that god did not send
00:10:49.443 --> 00:10:50.477
That god did not send you and i here at this
00:10:50.544 --> 00:10:52.412
You and i here at this hour of history by accident.
00:10:52.479 --> 00:10:54.981
Hour of history by accident. i don't believe that he,
00:10:55.048 --> 00:10:56.550
I don't believe that he, in his providence, sent us
00:10:56.616 --> 00:10:58.585
In his providence, sent us to represent his kingdom
00:10:58.652 --> 00:11:00.320
To represent his kingdom on this earth in this
00:11:00.387 --> 00:11:01.955
On this earth in this moment of history
00:11:02.022 --> 00:11:02.956
Moment of history so that we can stand
00:11:03.023 --> 00:11:03.990
So that we can stand in trembling fear
00:11:04.057 --> 00:11:05.492
In trembling fear and watch this nation
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:06.460
And watch this nation fall apart.
00:11:06.526 --> 00:11:07.394
Fall apart. i believe he sent us
00:11:07.461 --> 00:11:09.463
I believe he sent us here to start
00:11:09.529 --> 00:11:10.430
Here to start a revival of righteousness
00:11:10.497 --> 00:11:12.265
A revival of righteousness that turns this nation around
00:11:12.332 --> 00:11:14.534
That turns this nation around and brings it back to god.
00:11:14.601 --> 00:11:16.503
And brings it back to god. i believe that if we will
00:11:16.570 --> 00:11:18.805
I believe that if we will invoke his word
00:11:18.872 --> 00:11:20.073
Invoke his word and humble ourselves
00:11:20.140 --> 00:11:21.908
And humble ourselves and pray and turn
00:11:21.975 --> 00:11:23.477
And pray and turn from our wicked ways,
00:11:23.543 --> 00:11:24.945
From our wicked ways, that god will hear us,
00:11:25.011 --> 00:11:26.947
That god will hear us, and he will heal our land.
00:11:27.013 --> 00:11:28.849
And he will heal our land. i believe that the same god
00:11:28.915 --> 00:11:31.218
I believe that the same god who brought israel out of egypt
00:11:31.284 --> 00:11:33.487
Who brought israel out of egypt is the same god who can
00:11:33.553 --> 00:11:34.955
Is the same god who can bring america out
00:11:35.021 --> 00:11:36.223
Bring america out of this liberal bondage.
00:11:36.289 --> 00:11:37.557
Of this liberal bondage. i believe that the same god
00:11:37.624 --> 00:11:39.726
I believe that the same god who woke up his nation
00:11:39.793 --> 00:11:41.495
Who woke up his nation by sending fire from heaven,
00:11:41.561 --> 00:11:43.263
By sending fire from heaven, can send the power
00:11:43.330 --> 00:11:44.431
Can send the power of the holy ghost
00:11:44.498 --> 00:11:45.365
Of the holy ghost and revive us once again.
00:11:45.432 --> 00:11:47.400
And revive us once again. i believe that the god
00:11:47.467 --> 00:11:49.136
I believe that the god who restored in the past
00:11:49.202 --> 00:11:50.637
Who restored in the past is the god who can
00:11:50.704 --> 00:11:51.772
Is the god who can restore today.
00:11:51.838 --> 00:11:52.939
Restore today. and the one who delivered
00:11:53.006 --> 00:11:54.174
And the one who delivered yesterday is the one
00:11:54.241 --> 00:11:55.509
Yesterday is the one who can deliver again.
00:11:55.575 --> 00:11:56.710
Who can deliver again. and if we ask him,
00:11:56.777 --> 00:11:58.512
And if we ask him, he will show us great
00:11:58.578 --> 00:12:00.046
He will show us great and mighty things
00:12:00.113 --> 00:12:01.114
And mighty things that we know not.
00:12:01.181 --> 00:12:02.549
That we know not. church, it is time for us
00:12:02.616 --> 00:12:04.718
Church, it is time for us to stand up and speak up,
00:12:04.785 --> 00:12:06.787
To stand up and speak up, not for a party,
00:12:06.853 --> 00:12:08.288
Not for a party, not for a person,
00:12:08.355 --> 00:12:09.790
Not for a person, not for a candidate,
00:12:09.856 --> 00:12:11.324
Not for a candidate, but for the king above kings
00:12:11.391 --> 00:12:13.260
But for the king above kings and the lord above lords
00:12:13.326 --> 00:12:15.262
And the lord above lords because he is the one
00:12:15.328 --> 00:12:16.630
Because he is the one who can make this
00:12:16.696 --> 00:12:17.631
Who can make this nation great again.
00:12:17.697 --> 00:12:18.899
[cheering and applause]
00:12:19.366 --> 00:12:24.604
The dead,
00:12:24.871 --> 00:12:25.505
Faith would have no meaning
00:12:25.505 --> 00:12:27.140
And hope would have no future.
00:12:27.140 --> 00:12:29.242
But jesus did rise.
00:12:29.242 --> 00:12:30.844
And the same power
00:12:30.844 --> 00:12:31.978
That raised christ
00:12:31.978 --> 00:12:32.879
From the dead now
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:33.880
Lives in every believer.

It's not up to the government,

It's not up to the government, it's up to us.
00:13:31.371 --> 00:13:33.907
It's up to us. deuteronomy 28 says so.
00:13:33.974 --> 00:13:37.744
Deuteronomy 28 says so. when you read deuteronomy 28:1,
00:13:37.811 --> 00:13:40.413
When you read deuteronomy 28:1, it says very clearly that
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.315
It says very clearly that the if is in you,
00:13:42.382 --> 00:13:44.718
The if is in you, it's not in god.
00:13:44.784 --> 00:13:47.821
It's not in god. it says,
00:13:47.888 --> 00:13:48.488
It says, "now it shall come to pass,
00:13:48.555 --> 00:13:50.690
"now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey."
00:13:50.757 --> 00:13:54.895
If you diligently obey." say that with me.
00:13:54.961 --> 00:13:55.896
Say that with me. "if you diligently obey."
00:13:55.962 --> 00:14:00.133
"if you diligently obey." now, say it again,
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:00.700
Now, say it again, except this time,
00:14:00.767 --> 00:14:01.935

00:14:02.002 --> 00:14:02.502
Put your finger right in the middle of your chest
00:14:02.569 --> 00:14:03.403
In the middle of your chest when you say it.
00:14:03.470 --> 00:14:04.638
When you say it. "if you diligently obey."
00:14:04.704 --> 00:14:12.245
"if you diligently obey." moses was speaking
00:14:12.312 --> 00:14:13.346
Moses was speaking to a generation who was
00:14:13.413 --> 00:14:17.050
To a generation who was not born in egypt,
00:14:17.117 --> 00:14:19.819
Not born in egypt, but in the wilderness.
00:14:19.886 --> 00:14:23.056
But in the wilderness. and they had spent their life
00:14:23.123 --> 00:14:25.091
And they had spent their life walking in circles because
00:14:25.158 --> 00:14:28.028
Walking in circles because the generation before them
00:14:28.094 --> 00:14:30.163
The generation before them did not obey.
00:14:30.230 --> 00:14:33.166
Did not obey. the generation before them
00:14:33.233 --> 00:14:35.001
The generation before them saw ten plagues that brought
00:14:35.068 --> 00:14:37.370
Saw ten plagues that brought the most powerful nation
00:14:37.437 --> 00:14:38.505
The most powerful nation on the face of the earth,
00:14:38.571 --> 00:14:39.906
On the face of the earth, egypt and pharaoh,
00:14:39.973 --> 00:14:41.007
Egypt and pharaoh, to its knees.
00:14:41.074 --> 00:14:43.443
To its knees. not only did they see
00:14:43.510 --> 00:14:44.377
Not only did they see that manifestation
00:14:44.444 --> 00:14:45.512
That manifestation of god's power,
00:14:45.578 --> 00:14:47.013
Of god's power, but then they saw
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:47.847
But then they saw the red sea part and they
00:14:47.914 --> 00:14:49.916
The red sea part and they walked through on dry ground.
00:14:49.983 --> 00:14:53.353
Walked through on dry ground. on the other side
00:14:53.420 --> 00:14:53.987
On the other side of the red sea,
00:14:54.054 --> 00:14:56.056
Of the red sea, they got thirsty,
00:14:56.122 --> 00:14:57.190
They got thirsty, they drank from water
00:14:57.257 --> 00:14:58.525
They drank from water that flowed out of a rock.
00:14:58.591 --> 00:15:00.827
That flowed out of a rock. they got hungry, they had manna
00:15:00.894 --> 00:15:03.029
They got hungry, they had manna that fell from heaven.
00:15:03.096 --> 00:15:04.931
That fell from heaven. they got hot,
00:15:04.998 --> 00:15:06.066
They got hot, god sent a cloud by day.
00:15:06.132 --> 00:15:08.435
God sent a cloud by day. they got cold, he sent
00:15:08.501 --> 00:15:09.936
They got cold, he sent a fire by night.
00:15:10.003 --> 00:15:11.504
A fire by night. now, how much of that
00:15:11.571 --> 00:15:12.839
Now, how much of that would you have to walk through
00:15:12.906 --> 00:15:14.174
Would you have to walk through before you started thinking,
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:15.141
Before you started thinking, "we got a pretty good god?"
00:15:15.208 --> 00:15:19.179
"we got a pretty good god?" and the problem was,
00:15:19.245 --> 00:15:22.482
And the problem was, while they were enjoying
00:15:22.549 --> 00:15:23.483
While they were enjoying his benefits and his blessings,
00:15:23.550 --> 00:15:26.753
His benefits and his blessings, they weren't believing in
00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:28.655
They weren't believing in the god who was blessing them.
00:15:28.722 --> 00:15:32.425
The god who was blessing them. they were eating the manna,
00:15:32.492 --> 00:15:34.894
They were eating the manna, but not believing in the one
00:15:34.961 --> 00:15:36.463
But not believing in the one who provided the manna.
00:15:36.529 --> 00:15:38.631
Who provided the manna. they were drinking the water,
00:15:38.698 --> 00:15:40.133
They were drinking the water, but not believing in the god
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:41.434
But not believing in the god who gave the water.
00:15:41.501 --> 00:15:43.670
Who gave the water. which is why every time
00:15:43.737 --> 00:15:44.771
Which is why every time that they came to a problem,
00:15:44.838 --> 00:15:46.072
That they came to a problem, they just went back
00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:46.973
They just went back to whining and complaining,
00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:48.575
To whining and complaining, and complaining and whining.
00:15:48.641 --> 00:15:51.978
And complaining and whining. now, you say,
00:15:52.045 --> 00:15:52.512
Now, you say, "that sounds ridiculous,"
00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:53.613
"that sounds ridiculous," but many of you are going
00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:54.681
But many of you are going to spend the rest of your day
00:15:54.748 --> 00:15:56.049
To spend the rest of your day whining and complaining,
00:15:56.116 --> 00:15:57.650
Whining and complaining, and complaining and whining.
00:15:57.717 --> 00:16:00.153
And complaining and whining. "it was so hot in church today.
00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:04.557
"it was so hot in church today. i hope they get that
00:16:04.624 --> 00:16:05.592
I hope they get that parking lot finished.
00:16:05.658 --> 00:16:06.593
Parking lot finished. i'm tired of it.
00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:07.660
I'm tired of it. i'm just tired of it.
00:16:07.727 --> 00:16:08.495
I'm just tired of it. i'm gonna write
00:16:08.561 --> 00:16:09.095
I'm gonna write a letter to somebody."
00:16:09.162 --> 00:16:10.163
[laughter]
00:16:10.864 --> 00:16:12.132
Write till your wrist is sore.
00:16:14.434 --> 00:16:15.635
Write till your wrist is sore. we're all in the same boat.
00:16:15.702 --> 00:16:16.836
[laughter and applause]
00:16:17.303 --> 00:16:23.176
And when they got
00:16:24.444 --> 00:16:25.078
And when they got to a moment where god
00:16:25.145 --> 00:16:26.112
To a moment where god gave them direction,
00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:28.415
Gave them direction, he said, "go into
00:16:28.481 --> 00:16:29.416
He said, "go into the promised land and take it."
00:16:29.482 --> 00:16:31.951
The promised land and take it." he said, "i've been waiting for
00:16:32.018 --> 00:16:33.586
He said, "i've been waiting for 400 years for you to get here
00:16:33.653 --> 00:16:36.322
400 years for you to get here so you could take it.
00:16:36.389 --> 00:16:38.358
So you could take it. everything that
00:16:38.425 --> 00:16:38.958
Everything that i promised you is there.
00:16:39.025 --> 00:16:40.727
I promised you is there. there's milk and there's honey
00:16:40.794 --> 00:16:42.195
There's milk and there's honey and there's provision
00:16:42.262 --> 00:16:43.096
And there's provision and there's houses
00:16:43.163 --> 00:16:43.930
And there's houses you didn't build,
00:16:43.997 --> 00:16:44.631
You didn't build, and there's wells
00:16:44.697 --> 00:16:45.365
And there's wells you didn't dig,
00:16:45.432 --> 00:16:45.999
You didn't dig, and there's vineyards
00:16:46.066 --> 00:16:46.633
And there's vineyards you didn't plant.
00:16:46.699 --> 00:16:47.300
You didn't plant. now go take it."
00:16:47.367 --> 00:16:48.802
A group of men went in,
00:16:52.505 --> 00:16:53.306
A group of men went in, and a group of men came out.
00:16:53.373 --> 00:16:56.276
And a group of men came out. and because these people did not
00:16:56.342 --> 00:16:57.811
And because these people did not put their faith in god,
00:16:57.877 --> 00:17:01.181
Put their faith in god, they listened to the report
00:17:01.247 --> 00:17:02.749
They listened to the report of men on earth.
00:17:02.816 --> 00:17:06.119
Of men on earth. and we know the story.
00:17:06.186 --> 00:17:06.686
And we know the story. there's 12 spies,
00:17:06.753 --> 00:17:08.855
There's 12 spies, 10 of those spies say,
00:17:08.922 --> 00:17:10.890
10 of those spies say, "listen guys,
00:17:10.957 --> 00:17:12.025
"listen guys, the houses are there,
00:17:12.092 --> 00:17:12.992
The houses are there, the vineyards are there,
00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:13.660
The vineyards are there, the wells are there,
00:17:13.726 --> 00:17:15.895
The wells are there, the milk's there,
00:17:15.962 --> 00:17:16.729
The milk's there, the honey's there,
00:17:16.796 --> 00:17:18.531
The honey's there, but there's giants,
00:17:18.598 --> 00:17:22.435
But there's giants, and we're like grasshoppers
00:17:22.502 --> 00:17:23.603
And we're like grasshoppers in their sight."
00:17:23.670 --> 00:17:28.141
In their sight." now, if you wanna talk
00:17:28.208 --> 00:17:28.975
Now, if you wanna talk about an overexaggeration,
00:17:29.042 --> 00:17:32.612
About an overexaggeration, a grasshopper,
00:17:32.679 --> 00:17:33.513
A grasshopper, a big texas grasshopper
00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:39.619
A big texas grasshopper is about a inch tall.
00:17:39.686 --> 00:17:42.822
Is about a inch tall. an average sized texan,
00:17:42.889 --> 00:17:48.761
An average sized texan, six foot-ish predicated on,
00:17:48.828 --> 00:17:53.066
Six foot-ish predicated on, you know, mexicano
00:17:53.133 --> 00:17:54.267
You know, mexicano or you know, just depends.
00:17:54.334 --> 00:17:57.003
[laughter]
00:17:57.437 --> 00:17:59.239
So, if you got
00:18:00.974 --> 00:18:01.407
So, if you got a one-inch bug
00:18:01.474 --> 00:18:02.575
A one-inch bug and a six-foot man
00:18:02.642 --> 00:18:05.278
And a six-foot man and you find yourself
00:18:05.345 --> 00:18:06.479
And you find yourself as a six-foot man
00:18:06.546 --> 00:18:08.615
As a six-foot man standing in comparison,
00:18:08.681 --> 00:18:09.949
Standing in comparison, that giant would
00:18:10.016 --> 00:18:11.251
That giant would have to be 397 feet tall
00:18:11.317 --> 00:18:15.588
Have to be 397 feet tall in order for you to look
00:18:15.655 --> 00:18:16.456
In order for you to look like a grasshopper to him.
00:18:16.523 --> 00:18:18.658
Like a grasshopper to him. so, the point is, they were
00:18:18.725 --> 00:18:20.326
So, the point is, they were overexaggerating the problem
00:18:20.393 --> 00:18:22.362
Overexaggerating the problem and under exaggerating the good.
00:18:22.428 --> 00:18:26.533
And under exaggerating the good. they said, "god is good,
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:27.800
They said, "god is good, but he ain't that good."
00:18:27.867 --> 00:18:30.670
But he ain't that good." and the entire nation decided
00:18:30.737 --> 00:18:32.372
And the entire nation decided to walk away from the god
00:18:32.438 --> 00:18:33.773
To walk away from the god who had given them so much.
00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:37.944
Who had given them so much. and god said to them,
00:18:38.011 --> 00:18:39.245
And god said to them, "i'm going to bury you
00:18:39.312 --> 00:18:41.347
"i'm going to bury you in this wilderness."
00:18:41.414 --> 00:18:44.851
In this wilderness." there's a consequence
00:18:44.918 --> 00:18:46.119
There's a consequence for not obeying god's word.
00:18:46.186 --> 00:18:50.456
For not obeying god's word. and for 40 years
00:18:50.523 --> 00:18:53.326
And for 40 years they walked in circles,
00:18:53.393 --> 00:18:54.827
They walked in circles, one funeral after another,
00:18:54.894 --> 00:18:57.730
One funeral after another, after another, after another,
00:18:57.797 --> 00:19:01.367
After another, after another, until finally the last one
00:19:01.434 --> 00:19:03.236
Until finally the last one was had, and god told them,
00:19:03.303 --> 00:19:05.405
Was had, and god told them, "you can go back
00:19:05.471 --> 00:19:06.239
"you can go back to the promised land."
00:19:06.306 --> 00:19:08.875
To the promised land." now moses, who's 120 years old,
00:19:08.942 --> 00:19:10.843
Now moses, who's 120 years old, is telling their children
00:19:10.910 --> 00:19:12.579
Is telling their children and their grandchildren,
00:19:12.645 --> 00:19:13.813
And their grandchildren, "before you get into
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.049
"before you get into that promised land,
00:19:16.115 --> 00:19:17.016
That promised land, if you wanna make
00:19:17.083 --> 00:19:17.817
If you wanna make israel great again,

We here in the united states, 200 plus years

200 plus years of god's goodness,
00:20:00.727 --> 00:20:03.997
Of god's goodness, a half dozen decades
00:20:04.063 --> 00:20:08.968
A half dozen decades of this secular,
00:20:09.035 --> 00:20:10.103
Of this secular, humanistic, liberal rot.
00:20:10.169 --> 00:20:16.242
Humanistic, liberal rot. and when you look at the things
00:20:16.309 --> 00:20:17.143
And when you look at the things that we're trying to push
00:20:17.210 --> 00:20:18.244
That we're trying to push into society now,
00:20:18.311 --> 00:20:21.514
Into society now, is it the majority?
00:20:21.581 --> 00:20:24.250
Is it the majority? not hardly.
00:20:24.317 --> 00:20:27.086
Not hardly. it's just a few.
00:20:27.153 --> 00:20:30.423
It's just a few. and they're trying to tell you
00:20:30.490 --> 00:20:32.091
And they're trying to tell you what you should teach to your
00:20:32.158 --> 00:20:33.526
What you should teach to your kids and your grandkids.
00:20:33.593 --> 00:20:36.863
Kids and your grandkids. they don't want you to have
00:20:36.929 --> 00:20:38.331
They don't want you to have an influence on your son,
00:20:38.398 --> 00:20:40.233
An influence on your son, so that he grows up to be
00:20:40.300 --> 00:20:41.334
So that he grows up to be a man or your daughter
00:20:41.401 --> 00:20:42.602
A man or your daughter so that she grows up
00:20:42.669 --> 00:20:43.469
So that she grows up to be a woman.
00:20:43.536 --> 00:20:44.170
To be a woman. they want you to be silenced
00:20:44.237 --> 00:20:46.205
They want you to be silenced while they tell your child
00:20:46.272 --> 00:20:47.473
While they tell your child that they can be whatever
00:20:47.540 --> 00:20:48.574
That they can be whatever they wanna be on any day
00:20:48.641 --> 00:20:49.509
They wanna be on any day that they want to be it.
00:20:49.575 --> 00:20:50.443
That they want to be it. and in their chaos
00:20:50.510 --> 00:20:50.977
And in their chaos and confusion,
00:20:51.044 --> 00:20:51.811
And confusion, we'll reprogram you like

We want you to be taught. what?
00:20:57.417 --> 00:21:00.653
What? whose report are you
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.788
Whose report are you going to believe?
00:21:01.854 --> 00:21:05.058
Going to believe? don't let the few overtake
00:21:05.124 --> 00:21:08.027
Don't let the few overtake god's goodness to the many.
00:21:08.094 --> 00:21:11.531
God's goodness to the many. because we don't wanna
00:21:11.597 --> 00:21:12.231
Because we don't wanna die in the wilderness,
00:21:12.298 --> 00:21:14.300
Die in the wilderness, we wanna walk in
00:21:14.367 --> 00:21:15.134
We wanna walk in the promised land.
00:21:15.201 --> 00:21:17.737
The promised land. i don't want my children
00:21:17.804 --> 00:21:19.539
I don't want my children and my grandchildren
00:21:19.605 --> 00:21:20.873
And my grandchildren to be walking around
00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:22.308
To be walking around in sandy circles
00:21:22.375 --> 00:21:23.843
In sandy circles wondering what went wrong.
00:21:23.910 --> 00:21:25.578
Wondering what went wrong. i want them to walk
00:21:25.645 --> 00:21:26.979
I want them to walk in the goodness of god,
00:21:27.046 --> 00:21:28.314
In the goodness of god, to have his blessings,
00:21:28.381 --> 00:21:29.749
To have his blessings, to have his provision,
00:21:29.816 --> 00:21:31.017
To have his provision, to have his outpouring,
00:21:31.084 --> 00:21:32.452
To have his outpouring, to have his promises.
00:21:32.518 --> 00:21:34.020
To have his promises. but what i know
00:21:34.087 --> 00:21:36.556
But what i know is that if that's going
00:21:36.622 --> 00:21:37.623
Is that if that's going to happen for them,
00:21:37.690 --> 00:21:39.058
To happen for them, it's up to me.
00:21:39.125 --> 00:21:42.895
It's up to me. i have a charge to keep.
00:21:42.962 --> 00:21:47.667
I have a charge to keep. and that's not going to happen
00:21:47.734 --> 00:21:49.168
And that's not going to happen on november's election day,
00:21:49.235 --> 00:21:50.403
On november's election day, that's gonna happen today,
00:21:50.470 --> 00:21:53.439
That's gonna happen today, and it's gonna happen tomorrow,
00:21:53.506 --> 00:21:55.475
And it's gonna happen tomorrow, and it's gonna happen every day
00:21:55.541 --> 00:21:56.976
And it's gonna happen every day after that because it is
00:21:57.043 --> 00:21:58.344
After that because it is a daily responsibility for me
00:21:58.411 --> 00:22:00.546
A daily responsibility for me to uphold righteousness
00:22:00.613 --> 00:22:01.948
To uphold righteousness in my life so that my sons
00:22:02.014 --> 00:22:05.952
In my life so that my sons know what a righteous man

We see god's goodness in this nation again.
00:22:27.673 --> 00:22:31.477
In this nation again. it took one generation
00:22:31.544 --> 00:22:33.312
It took one generation to push god out.
00:22:33.379 --> 00:22:35.615
To push god out. let us be the generation
00:22:35.681 --> 00:22:37.583
Let us be the generation that brings him back in.
00:22:37.650 --> 00:22:39.552

Would you stand to your feet?
00:22:44.657 --> 00:22:50.563
Would you stand to your feet? the bible says that,
00:22:50.630 --> 00:22:52.498
The bible says that, "if god's people will
00:22:52.565 --> 00:22:53.399
"if god's people will humble themselves and pray,
00:22:53.466 --> 00:22:55.768
Humble themselves and pray, then he'll hear from heaven
00:22:55.835 --> 00:22:56.936
Then he'll hear from heaven and heal their land."
00:22:57.003 --> 00:22:59.172
And heal their land." and that's how i want us

And pour out your heart, asking god to heal
00:23:07.513 --> 00:23:09.582
Asking god to heal this nation and to cleanse it

She's buried in. put your arms around her

Father, i am asking you to put one up and another down

And let your hand choose for us the leader that
00:24:14.814 --> 00:24:16.415
For us the leader that you have in your sovereign

00:24:18.317 --> 00:24:19.852
Will for this nation. i'm asking you that fathers

I'm asking you that fathers and mothers would spend time
00:24:21.821 --> 00:24:23.823
And mothers would spend time in your word reading
00:24:23.890 --> 00:24:25.725
In your word reading and listening and then
00:24:25.791 --> 00:24:27.260
And listening and then spend time in prayer

And by your mercy. father, we don't deserve it
00:24:35.768 --> 00:24:37.637
Father, we don't deserve it but you promised that
00:24:37.703 --> 00:24:38.804
But you promised that where sin did abound,
00:24:38.871 --> 00:24:40.206
Where sin did abound, grace would that much
00:24:40.273 --> 00:24:41.274
Grace would that much more abound.
00:24:41.340 --> 00:24:42.441
