00:00:59.692 --> 00:00:13.940
Pastor matt hagee: this nation
00:00:14.007 --> 00:00:15.775
Pastor matt hagee: this nation is out of order.
00:00:15.842 --> 00:00:18.244
Is out of order. and the thing that bothers me
00:00:18.311 --> 00:00:19.612
And the thing that bothers me the most about having
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:20.513
The most about having to say that is for
00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:21.981
To say that is for so long it was in order.
00:00:22.048 --> 00:00:27.387
So long it was in order. when you look at the problems
00:00:27.454 --> 00:00:28.121
When you look at the problems that we're facing
00:00:28.188 --> 00:00:29.689
That we're facing in the united states,
00:00:29.756 --> 00:00:31.324
In the united states, they're recent compared
00:00:31.391 --> 00:00:32.692
They're recent compared to our full history.
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.028
To our full history. we have been
00:00:35.095 --> 00:00:35.829
We have been the united states for 248 years,
00:00:35.895 --> 00:00:41.234
The united states for 248 years, and for roughly the first
00:00:41.301 --> 00:00:42.335
And for roughly the first 200 years we lived under
00:00:42.402 --> 00:00:46.039
200 years we lived under the concept that how we were
00:00:46.106 --> 00:00:48.441
The concept that how we were to survive was closely
00:00:48.508 --> 00:00:50.176
To survive was closely connected to god our creator.
00:00:50.243 --> 00:00:55.014
Connected to god our creator. recently, those who want
00:00:55.081 --> 00:00:56.850
Recently, those who want to revise history are trying
00:00:56.916 --> 00:00:58.485
To revise history are trying to tell a different story.
00:00:58.551 --> 00:00:59.719
To tell a different story. but today i want you to hear
00:00:59.786 --> 00:01:01.488
But today i want you to hear the truth based on what
00:01:01.554 --> 00:01:03.223
The truth based on what the founding fathers wrote,
00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:04.757
The founding fathers wrote, based on how we survived
00:01:04.824 --> 00:01:06.526
Based on how we survived as a nation,
00:01:06.593 --> 00:01:07.660
As a nation, and based on the fact
00:01:07.727 --> 00:01:08.895
And based on the fact that if we don't get back
00:01:08.962 --> 00:01:10.563
That if we don't get back to our righteous roots,
00:01:10.630 --> 00:01:12.031
To our righteous roots, we are going to die of rot.
00:01:12.098 --> 00:01:16.169
Now, where did we begin?
00:01:16.703 --> 00:01:19.906
Now, where did we begin? july 4th, 1776.
00:01:19.973 --> 00:01:22.809
July 4th, 1776. through the end of june
00:01:22.876 --> 00:01:23.776
Through the end of june and the first week of july,
00:01:23.843 --> 00:01:25.345
And the first week of july, there was a great debate
00:01:25.411 --> 00:01:26.646
There was a great debate about what was going
00:01:26.713 --> 00:01:28.114
About what was going to be written down
00:01:28.181 --> 00:01:29.215
To be written down and how it was going
00:01:29.282 --> 00:01:30.483
And how it was going to be presented because
00:01:30.550 --> 00:01:31.818
To be presented because the 56 signers of that
00:01:31.885 --> 00:01:34.020
The 56 signers of that declaration recognized
00:01:34.087 --> 00:01:35.889
Declaration recognized that with their signature,
00:01:35.955 --> 00:01:37.824
That with their signature, they were either signing
00:01:37.891 --> 00:01:38.758
They were either signing their death warrant
00:01:38.825 --> 00:01:40.126
Their death warrant or they were signing
00:01:40.193 --> 00:01:41.361
Or they were signing a document that was going
00:01:41.427 --> 00:01:42.662
A document that was going to create a nation that had
00:01:42.729 --> 00:01:44.564
To create a nation that had never existed in
00:01:44.631 --> 00:01:45.498
Never existed in the history of the world.
00:01:45.565 --> 00:01:47.967
The history of the world. two hundred and forty-eight
00:01:48.034 --> 00:01:48.835
Two hundred and forty-eight years ago, it was written
00:01:48.902 --> 00:01:52.105
Years ago, it was written that according to the laws
00:01:52.172 --> 00:01:53.973
That according to the laws of nature and the laws of god.
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.311
Of nature and the laws of god. "say what?
00:01:58.378 --> 00:02:01.281
"say what? you mean,
00:02:01.347 --> 00:02:02.048
You mean, our founding fathers
00:02:02.115 --> 00:02:04.050
Our founding fathers recognized god?
00:02:04.117 --> 00:02:07.754
Recognized god? are you to tell me that
00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:09.155
Are you to tell me that in the first document recorded
00:02:09.222 --> 00:02:12.058
In the first document recorded as a nation we actually
00:02:12.125 --> 00:02:14.761
As a nation we actually talk about god?"
00:02:14.827 --> 00:02:21.034
Talk about god?" of course, i'm being sarcastic,
00:02:21.100 --> 00:02:22.235
Of course, i'm being sarcastic, but the reason why
00:02:22.302 --> 00:02:22.969
But the reason why it's important to understand
00:02:23.036 --> 00:02:24.571
It's important to understand is because you cannot remove
00:02:24.637 --> 00:02:26.506
Is because you cannot remove the fingerprints of god
00:02:26.573 --> 00:02:27.807
The fingerprints of god from the foundations
00:02:27.874 --> 00:02:28.808
From the foundations of the united states of america.
00:02:28.875 --> 00:02:30.510
[applause]
00:02:30.877 --> 00:02:37.283
When the founding fathers laid
00:02:37.817 --> 00:02:39.052
When the founding fathers laid the foundation of this nation,
00:02:39.118 --> 00:02:41.754
The foundation of this nation, they said that the laws
00:02:41.821 --> 00:02:42.655
They said that the laws of nature and the laws of god
00:02:42.722 --> 00:02:45.959
Of nature and the laws of god held truths that were
00:02:46.025 --> 00:02:48.895
Held truths that were self-evident.
00:02:48.962 --> 00:02:51.931
Self-evident. the word self-evident means
00:02:51.998 --> 00:02:53.733
The word self-evident means that it is so obvious
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.336
That it is so obvious that if you are
00:02:56.402 --> 00:02:57.403
That if you are smart enough to wave,
00:02:57.470 --> 00:02:59.038
Smart enough to wave, bye-bye, you should see this.
00:02:59.105 --> 00:03:02.976
Bye-bye, you should see this. now, they wouldn't say that,
00:03:03.042 --> 00:03:04.043
Now, they wouldn't say that, that's too offensive,
00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:04.877
That's too offensive, but you need to know
00:03:04.944 --> 00:03:05.712
But you need to know just how simple it was.
00:03:05.778 --> 00:03:07.947
Just how simple it was. they're saying everybody
00:03:08.014 --> 00:03:09.349
They're saying everybody should know this intuitively
00:03:09.415 --> 00:03:11.150
Should know this intuitively because the laws of nature
00:03:11.217 --> 00:03:12.752
Because the laws of nature and the laws of god hold
00:03:12.819 --> 00:03:14.754
And the laws of god hold these truths to be obvious.
00:03:14.821 --> 00:03:17.323
These truths to be obvious. that obvious truth was that
00:03:17.390 --> 00:03:19.092
That obvious truth was that all men were created equal.
00:03:19.158 --> 00:03:23.096
[applause]
00:03:23.396 --> 00:03:28.134
All men are created equal
00:03:28.368 --> 00:03:30.169
All men are created equal means that you and i
00:03:30.236 --> 00:03:31.971
Means that you and i and everyone who draws breath
00:03:32.038 --> 00:03:33.940
And everyone who draws breath are equally valued by god,
00:03:34.007 --> 00:03:36.909
Are equally valued by god, and that we were endowed,
00:03:36.976 --> 00:03:38.645
And that we were endowed, that means given power
00:03:38.711 --> 00:03:40.280
That means given power by our creator.
00:03:40.346 --> 00:03:41.447
By our creator. oh, my goodness, did they say
00:03:41.514 --> 00:03:42.882
Oh, my goodness, did they say that god was a creator?
00:03:42.949 --> 00:03:44.684
Wow.
00:03:45.118 --> 00:03:46.286
Mind blown.
00:03:47.086 --> 00:03:52.825
Mind blown. if god is a creator,
00:03:52.892 --> 00:03:55.295
If god is a creator, then why are we in
00:03:55.361 --> 00:03:56.262
Then why are we in the united states teaching
00:03:56.329 --> 00:03:57.930
The united states teaching that you evolved from an ape?
00:03:57.997 --> 00:04:01.067
That you evolved from an ape? if the declaration says
00:04:01.134 --> 00:04:02.635
If the declaration says that god is a creator,
00:04:02.702 --> 00:04:05.405
That god is a creator, we would have lived
00:04:05.471 --> 00:04:06.539
We would have lived in an environment where
00:04:06.606 --> 00:04:08.074
In an environment where we recognized he created
00:04:08.141 --> 00:04:09.842
We recognized he created them male and female,
00:04:09.909 --> 00:04:12.011
Them male and female, and he made them
00:04:12.078 --> 00:04:13.546
And he made them different for a reason,
00:04:13.613 --> 00:04:15.281
Different for a reason, and we wouldn't have to be
00:04:15.348 --> 00:04:16.683
And we wouldn't have to be suffering under this lie
00:04:16.749 --> 00:04:19.519
Suffering under this lie and indoctrination
00:04:19.585 --> 00:04:20.553
And indoctrination of a transgenderism.
00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:22.088
[applause]
00:04:22.455 --> 00:04:26.492
Said they were endowed
00:04:28.995 --> 00:04:29.896
Said they were endowed by their creator with
00:04:29.962 --> 00:04:31.097
By their creator with certain unalienable rights.
00:04:31.164 --> 00:04:33.399
Certain unalienable rights. an unalienable right means
00:04:33.466 --> 00:04:35.168
An unalienable right means there is nothing
00:04:35.234 --> 00:04:36.135
There is nothing you can do about it.
00:04:36.202 --> 00:04:37.370
You can do about it. you can't take it,
00:04:37.437 --> 00:04:38.304
You can't take it, you can't break it,
00:04:38.371 --> 00:04:39.639
You can't break it, because it didn't come from you,
00:04:39.706 --> 00:04:41.374
Because it didn't come from you, it came from god.
00:04:41.441 --> 00:04:43.309
It came from god. and these untakeable,
00:04:43.376 --> 00:04:44.911
And these untakeable, unbreakable rights were
00:04:44.977 --> 00:04:46.713
Unbreakable rights were three things, life, liberty,
00:04:46.779 --> 00:04:49.449
Three things, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:04:49.515 --> 00:04:52.819
And the pursuit of happiness. god bless these founding fathers
00:04:52.885 --> 00:04:55.121
God bless these founding fathers for understanding what life,
00:04:55.188 --> 00:04:57.457
For understanding what life, liberty, and the pursuit
00:04:57.523 --> 00:04:58.991
Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is
00:04:59.058 --> 00:05:00.426
Of happiness is and where it came from.
00:05:00.493 --> 00:05:01.761
And where it came from. now, i'm just amazed
00:05:01.828 --> 00:05:03.029
Now, i'm just amazed that somebody could say
00:05:03.096 --> 00:05:04.230
That somebody could say those things without
00:05:04.297 --> 00:05:05.198
Those things without teleprompters right here
00:05:05.264 --> 00:05:06.566
Teleprompters right here telling them everything
00:05:06.632 --> 00:05:07.433
Telling them everything that they should do.
00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:08.601
[applause]
00:05:09.035 --> 00:05:15.041
But that's just in
00:05:16.008 --> 00:05:16.576
But that's just in the opening paragraph.
00:05:16.642 --> 00:05:17.443
The opening paragraph. let's break it down
00:05:17.510 --> 00:05:18.244
Let's break it down a little further.
00:05:18.311 --> 00:05:19.412
A little further. one, it tells us that
00:05:19.479 --> 00:05:21.314
One, it tells us that our 56 founding fathers
00:05:21.381 --> 00:05:23.483
Our 56 founding fathers believed in god.
00:05:23.549 --> 00:05:25.618
Believed in god. it also said that
00:05:25.685 --> 00:05:26.386
It also said that god was a creator.
00:05:26.452 --> 00:05:27.920
God was a creator. and in paragraph three
00:05:27.987 --> 00:05:29.555
And in paragraph three it says that they yield
00:05:29.622 --> 00:05:31.057
It says that they yield to the supreme judge
00:05:31.124 --> 00:05:33.159
To the supreme judge of the world,
00:05:33.226 --> 00:05:33.760
Of the world, once again referencing god.
00:05:33.826 --> 00:05:36.496
Once again referencing god. and then, they said
00:05:36.562 --> 00:05:37.363
And then, they said that god is sovereign,
00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:39.298
That god is sovereign, because in the final paragraph
00:05:39.365 --> 00:05:40.633
Because in the final paragraph it says, "with firm reliance
00:05:40.700 --> 00:05:42.135
It says, "with firm reliance on the protection
00:05:42.201 --> 00:05:43.269
On the protection of divine providence."
00:05:43.336 --> 00:05:45.538
Of divine providence." now, the word providence means
00:05:45.605 --> 00:05:47.140
Now, the word providence means that everything happens
00:05:47.206 --> 00:05:48.641
That everything happens and comes through one being
00:05:48.708 --> 00:05:50.743
And comes through one being who approves it all.
00:05:50.810 --> 00:05:51.844
Who approves it all. that being is god.
00:05:51.911 --> 00:05:54.514
That being is god. providence says it's not
00:05:54.580 --> 00:05:55.915
Providence says it's not an accident that you're
00:05:55.982 --> 00:05:56.749
An accident that you're at church today,
00:05:56.816 --> 00:05:57.417
At church today, god knew you'd be
00:05:57.483 --> 00:05:58.651
God knew you'd be at church today.
00:05:58.718 --> 00:05:59.519
At church today. he knew what you'd hear today.
00:05:59.585 --> 00:06:01.254
He knew what you'd hear today. he knew what you'd need today.
00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:02.622
He knew what you'd need today. and in his providence,
00:06:02.688 --> 00:06:03.990
And in his providence, he orchestrated all of that
00:06:04.056 --> 00:06:05.491
He orchestrated all of that to get at the same place
00:06:05.558 --> 00:06:06.726
To get at the same place at the same time,
00:06:06.793 --> 00:06:07.727
At the same time, so once again, you'd have
00:06:07.794 --> 00:06:08.828
So once again, you'd have just what you needed,
00:06:08.895 --> 00:06:09.896
Just what you needed, when you needed it,
00:06:09.962 --> 00:06:10.530
When you needed it, from the same god who
00:06:10.596 --> 00:06:11.531
From the same god who gave it to you yesterday
00:06:11.597 --> 00:06:12.598
Gave it to you yesterday and promised it'll be
00:06:12.665 --> 00:06:13.966
And promised it'll be there again tomorrow.
00:06:14.033 --> 00:06:14.667
[applause]
00:06:15.001 --> 00:06:21.140
So, they said that
00:06:21.574 --> 00:06:22.708
So, they said that based on divine providence,
00:06:22.775 --> 00:06:25.178
Based on divine providence, god had basically picked them
00:06:25.244 --> 00:06:27.880
God had basically picked them like he did esther for
00:06:27.947 --> 00:06:29.682
Like he did esther for such a time as this.
00:06:29.749 --> 00:06:33.453
Such a time as this. and they said,
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:33.986
And they said, "if he picked us for
00:06:34.053 --> 00:06:34.954
"if he picked us for this moment in history,
00:06:35.021 --> 00:06:36.055
This moment in history, then he'll protect us
00:06:36.122 --> 00:06:37.123
Then he'll protect us no matter what the risk is."
00:06:37.190 --> 00:06:40.493
No matter what the risk is." and knowing that their
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:41.561
And knowing that their risk was great, they said,
00:06:41.627 --> 00:06:45.298
Risk was great, they said, "under the protection
00:06:45.364 --> 00:06:46.199
"under the protection of divine providence,
00:06:46.265 --> 00:06:47.333
Of divine providence, we pledge our lives,
00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:48.868
We pledge our lives, our fortunes,
00:06:48.935 --> 00:06:50.336
Our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
00:06:50.403 --> 00:06:52.605
And our sacred honor." and 56 men signed
00:06:52.672 --> 00:06:54.207
And 56 men signed a declaration of independence
00:06:54.273 --> 00:06:55.842
A declaration of independence that began a nation,
00:06:55.908 --> 00:06:58.945
That began a nation, a nation with common descent,
00:06:59.011 --> 00:07:02.148
A nation with common descent, not a descent of blood,
00:07:02.215 --> 00:07:03.616
Not a descent of blood, but a descent of an idea.
00:07:03.683 --> 00:07:06.018
But a descent of an idea. the idea that it didn't matter
00:07:06.085 --> 00:07:07.687
The idea that it didn't matter where you came from,
00:07:07.753 --> 00:07:08.588
Where you came from, and it didn't matter
00:07:08.654 --> 00:07:09.288
And it didn't matter what color you were,
00:07:09.355 --> 00:07:10.122
What color you were, and it didn't matter
00:07:10.189 --> 00:07:10.823
And it didn't matter what your background was.
00:07:10.890 --> 00:07:11.958
What your background was. if you valued life, liberty,
00:07:12.024 --> 00:07:14.494
If you valued life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.895
And the pursuit of happiness, you could come and be
00:07:15.962 --> 00:07:17.263
You could come and be part of america.
00:07:17.330 --> 00:07:19.532
Part of america. not only if you
00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:20.366
Not only if you valued life, liberty,
00:07:20.433 --> 00:07:21.501
Valued life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
00:07:21.567 --> 00:07:22.602
And the pursuit of happiness, but you were willing to work
00:07:22.668 --> 00:07:24.570
But you were willing to work on what is called
00:07:24.637 --> 00:07:26.372
On what is called a more perfect union.
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.742
A more perfect union. that more perfect union phrase
00:07:29.809 --> 00:07:31.444
That more perfect union phrase actually doesn't come
00:07:31.511 --> 00:07:32.545
Actually doesn't come from the declaration,
00:07:32.612 --> 00:07:33.546
From the declaration, it comes from the constitution.
00:07:33.613 --> 00:07:36.315
It comes from the constitution. and the constitution
00:07:36.382 --> 00:07:37.049
And the constitution is a contract between
00:07:37.116 --> 00:07:38.451
Is a contract between the government and the people.
00:07:38.518 --> 00:07:41.554
The government and the people. you need to understand
00:07:41.621 --> 00:07:42.555
You need to understand something, the government
00:07:42.622 --> 00:07:43.523
Something, the government we have is infringing upon
00:07:43.589 --> 00:07:45.725
We have is infringing upon your contract that
00:07:45.791 --> 00:07:47.827
Your contract that they signed with you back
00:07:47.894 --> 00:07:49.262
They signed with you back in the beginning of this nation.
00:07:49.328 --> 00:07:50.730
[applause]
00:07:51.063 --> 00:07:56.335
One of the ways that
00:07:56.802 --> 00:07:57.770
One of the ways that this nation has slipped
00:07:57.837 --> 00:07:58.838
This nation has slipped so far from its foundation
00:07:58.905 --> 00:08:00.506
So far from its foundation is that they have intimidated
00:08:00.573 --> 00:08:02.441
Is that they have intimidated god's people into silence.
00:08:02.508 --> 00:08:04.911
God's people into silence. do not ever be intimidated
00:08:04.977 --> 00:08:07.146
Do not ever be intimidated into silence and recognize
00:08:07.213 --> 00:08:09.248
Into silence and recognize if god be for you,
00:08:09.315 --> 00:08:11.250
If god be for you, who can be against you?
00:08:11.317 --> 00:08:12.952
Who can be against you? it's time for us to let
00:08:13.019 --> 00:08:14.921
It's time for us to let god arise and let his
00:08:14.987 --> 00:08:16.455
God arise and let his enemies be scattered.
00:08:16.522 --> 00:08:18.457
[applause]
00:08:18.791 --> 00:08:22.895
We began believing
00:08:24.463 --> 00:08:26.532
We began believing in god our creator,
00:08:26.599 --> 00:08:27.833
In god our creator, believing in god
00:08:27.900 --> 00:08:29.068
Believing in god the divine giver of power,
00:08:29.135 --> 00:08:30.736
The divine giver of power, believing in a providential
00:08:30.803 --> 00:08:32.438
Believing in a providential and sovereign god.
00:08:32.505 --> 00:08:33.439
And sovereign god. how did we get where we are?
00:08:33.506 --> 00:08:36.409
How did we get where we are? we're out of order.
00:08:36.475 --> 00:08:38.578
We're out of order. we've forgotten the foundation.
00:08:38.644 --> 00:08:41.047
We've forgotten the foundation. and psalms 11 tells us,
00:08:41.113 --> 00:08:42.515
And psalms 11 tells us, "if the foundations
00:08:42.582 --> 00:08:44.183
"if the foundations be destroyed, what then
00:08:44.250 --> 00:08:46.919
Be destroyed, what then can the righteous do?"
00:08:46.986 --> 00:08:48.921
Can the righteous do?" we've forgotten how to be
00:08:48.988 --> 00:08:50.156
We've forgotten how to be one nation under god,
00:08:50.222 --> 00:08:51.390
One nation under god, and we are more divided now
00:08:51.457 --> 00:08:52.959
And we are more divided now than we've ever been before.
00:08:53.025 --> 00:08:55.261
Than we've ever been before. jesus said this,
00:08:55.328 --> 00:08:56.228
Jesus said this, "a house divided
00:08:56.295 --> 00:08:57.830
"a house divided against itself cannot stand."
00:08:57.897 --> 00:09:02.034
Against itself cannot stand." later, abraham lincoln,
00:09:02.101 --> 00:09:03.369
Later, abraham lincoln, when he was running
00:09:03.436 --> 00:09:04.270
When he was running for the senate,
00:09:04.337 --> 00:09:05.938
For the senate, used this same phrase
00:09:06.005 --> 00:09:08.541
Used this same phrase to describe the nation
00:09:08.608 --> 00:09:09.575
To describe the nation that he was seeking
00:09:09.642 --> 00:09:10.743
That he was seeking to help with his leadership.
00:09:10.810 --> 00:09:13.579
To help with his leadership. if we were divided
00:09:13.646 --> 00:09:14.380
If we were divided in lincoln's day,
00:09:14.447 --> 00:09:15.548
In lincoln's day, how much more are we today?
00:09:15.615 --> 00:09:19.552
How much more are we today? we've publicly and privately
00:09:19.619 --> 00:09:21.754
We've publicly and privately pushed god out of society.
00:09:21.821 --> 00:09:25.157
Pushed god out of society. we no longer prioritize him.
00:09:25.224 --> 00:09:28.694
We no longer prioritize him. just think about this,
00:09:28.761 --> 00:09:30.262
Just think about this, when i was a kid,
00:09:30.329 --> 00:09:31.530
When i was a kid, if you wanted groceries,
00:09:31.597 --> 00:09:32.965
If you wanted groceries, get them on saturday.
00:09:33.032 --> 00:09:35.468
Get them on saturday. why?
00:09:35.534 --> 00:09:36.002
Why? because on sunday
00:09:36.068 --> 00:09:36.869
Because on sunday the stores were closed.
00:09:36.936 --> 00:09:37.770
[applause]
00:09:38.170 --> 00:09:40.473
Now, we prioritize everything.
00:09:41.607 --> 00:09:47.546
Now, we prioritize everything. "haven't seen you at church
00:09:47.613 --> 00:09:48.347
"haven't seen you at church in a while."
00:09:48.414 --> 00:09:49.015
In a while." "well, we had ball."
00:09:49.081 --> 00:09:52.685
"well, we had ball." don't get me wrong.
00:09:52.752 --> 00:09:53.219
Don't get me wrong. i love athletics
00:09:53.285 --> 00:09:54.153
I love athletics and i love sports,
00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:56.055
And i love sports, and i've got four kids
00:09:56.122 --> 00:09:56.989
And i've got four kids and i understand all
00:09:57.056 --> 00:09:58.090
And i understand all of the details of what
00:09:58.157 --> 00:09:59.025
Of the details of what it takes to get involved
00:09:59.091 --> 00:10:00.059
It takes to get involved in those environments.
00:10:00.126 --> 00:10:02.895
In those environments. but there is a 0.002 chance
00:10:02.962 --> 00:10:05.798
But there is a 0.002 chance that your child is ever going
00:10:05.865 --> 00:10:07.266
That your child is ever going to play a professional sport
00:10:07.333 --> 00:10:08.734
To play a professional sport and there is a 100% chance
00:10:08.801 --> 00:10:10.503
And there is a 100% chance that they're going to meet
00:10:10.569 --> 00:10:11.170
That they're going to meet king jesus someday.
00:10:11.237 --> 00:10:12.571
[applause]
00:10:13.005 --> 00:10:20.713
So, make sure
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:21.781
So, make sure that your priority
00:10:21.847 --> 00:10:22.615
That your priority is to put him first.
00:10:22.682 --> 00:10:24.684
How did we get where we are?
00:10:28.087 --> 00:10:30.289
How did we get where we are? we've forgotten god.
00:10:30.356 --> 00:10:31.257
We've forgotten god. and psalms 9:17 says,
00:10:31.323 --> 00:10:33.392
And psalms 9:17 says, "every nation that forgets
00:10:33.459 --> 00:10:34.794
"every nation that forgets god is turned into hell."
00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:39.398
God is turned into hell." i believe, like our
00:10:39.465 --> 00:10:41.734
I believe, like our founding fathers, who said
00:10:41.801 --> 00:10:43.769
Founding fathers, who said that they were put on earth
00:10:43.836 --> 00:10:46.939
That they were put on earth for such a time as this,
00:10:47.006 --> 00:10:49.375
For such a time as this, that god did not send
00:10:49.442 --> 00:10:50.476
That god did not send you and i here at this
00:10:50.543 --> 00:10:52.411
You and i here at this hour of history by accident.
00:10:52.478 --> 00:10:54.980
Hour of history by accident. i don't believe that he,
00:10:55.047 --> 00:10:56.549
I don't believe that he, in his providence, sent us
00:10:56.615 --> 00:10:58.584
In his providence, sent us to represent his kingdom
00:10:58.651 --> 00:11:00.319
To represent his kingdom on this earth in this
00:11:00.386 --> 00:11:01.954
On this earth in this moment of history
00:11:02.021 --> 00:11:02.955
Moment of history so that we can stand
00:11:03.022 --> 00:11:03.989
So that we can stand in trembling fear
00:11:04.056 --> 00:11:05.491
In trembling fear and watch this nation
00:11:05.558 --> 00:11:06.459
And watch this nation fall apart.
00:11:06.525 --> 00:11:07.393
Fall apart. i believe he sent us
00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:09.462
I believe he sent us here to start
00:11:09.528 --> 00:11:10.429
Here to start a revival of righteousness
00:11:10.496 --> 00:11:12.264
A revival of righteousness that turns this nation around
00:11:12.331 --> 00:11:14.533
That turns this nation around and brings it back to god.
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.502
And brings it back to god. i believe that if we will
00:11:16.569 --> 00:11:18.804
I believe that if we will invoke his word
00:11:18.871 --> 00:11:20.072
Invoke his word and humble ourselves
00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:21.907
And humble ourselves and pray and turn
00:11:21.974 --> 00:11:23.476
And pray and turn from our wicked ways,
00:11:23.542 --> 00:11:24.944
From our wicked ways, that god will hear us,
00:11:25.010 --> 00:11:26.946
That god will hear us, and he will heal our land.
00:11:27.012 --> 00:11:28.848
And he will heal our land. i believe that the same god
00:11:28.914 --> 00:11:31.217
I believe that the same god who brought israel out of egypt
00:11:31.283 --> 00:11:33.486
Who brought israel out of egypt is the same god who can
00:11:33.552 --> 00:11:34.954
Is the same god who can bring america out
00:11:35.020 --> 00:11:36.222
Bring america out of this liberal bondage.
00:11:36.288 --> 00:11:37.556
Of this liberal bondage. i believe that the same god
00:11:37.623 --> 00:11:39.725
I believe that the same god who woke up his nation
00:11:39.792 --> 00:11:41.494
Who woke up his nation by sending fire from heaven,
00:11:41.560 --> 00:11:43.262
By sending fire from heaven, can send the power
00:11:43.329 --> 00:11:44.430
Can send the power of the holy ghost
00:11:44.497 --> 00:11:45.364
Of the holy ghost and revive us once again.
00:11:45.431 --> 00:11:47.399
And revive us once again. i believe that the god
00:11:47.466 --> 00:11:49.135
I believe that the god who restored in the past
00:11:49.201 --> 00:11:50.636
Who restored in the past is the god who can
00:11:50.703 --> 00:11:51.771
Is the god who can restore today.
00:11:51.837 --> 00:11:52.938
Restore today. and the one who delivered
00:11:53.005 --> 00:11:54.173
And the one who delivered yesterday is the one
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.508
Yesterday is the one who can deliver again.
00:11:55.574 --> 00:11:56.709
Who can deliver again. and if we ask him,
00:11:56.776 --> 00:11:58.511
And if we ask him, he will show us great
00:11:58.577 --> 00:12:00.045
He will show us great and mighty things
00:12:00.112 --> 00:12:01.113
And mighty things that we know not.
00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:02.548
That we know not. church, it is time for us
00:12:02.615 --> 00:12:04.717
Church, it is time for us to stand up and speak up,
00:12:04.784 --> 00:12:06.786
To stand up and speak up, not for a party,
00:12:06.852 --> 00:12:08.287
Not for a party, not for a person,
00:12:08.354 --> 00:12:09.789
Not for a person, not for a candidate,
00:12:09.855 --> 00:12:11.323
Not for a candidate, but for the king above kings
00:12:11.390 --> 00:12:13.259
But for the king above kings and the lord above lords
00:12:13.325 --> 00:12:15.261
And the lord above lords because he is the one
00:12:15.327 --> 00:12:16.629
Because he is the one who can make this
00:12:16.695 --> 00:12:17.630
Who can make this nation great again.
00:12:17.696 --> 00:12:18.898
[cheering and applause]rough
00:12:19.365 --> 00:12:24.336
Isn't something new,
00:12:25.938 --> 00:12:27.006
But something basic?
00:12:27.006 --> 00:12:28.440
Are you relentless
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:29.508
In your pursuit of christ?
00:12:29.508 --> 00:12:30.676
Are you constantly
00:12:30.676 --> 00:12:31.610
Looking for ways to build
00:12:31.610 --> 00:12:32.745
A stronger
00:12:32.745 --> 00:12:33.245
Relationship with him?
00:12:33.245 --> 00:12:34.313
What if we started
00:12:34.313 --> 00:12:35.147
Making our day to day
00:12:35.147 --> 00:12:36.115
Faith much simpler?

And watch god move
00:13:15.688 --> 00:13:16.789
Mountains in your life.
00:13:16.789 --> 00:13:28.834
It's not up to the government,
00:13:28.901 --> 00:13:31.303
It's not up to the government, it's up to us.
00:13:31.370 --> 00:13:33.906
It's up to us. deuteronomy 28 says so.
00:13:33.973 --> 00:13:37.743
Deuteronomy 28 says so. when you read deuteronomy 28:1,
00:13:37.810 --> 00:13:40.412
When you read deuteronomy 28:1, it says very clearly that
00:13:40.479 --> 00:13:42.314
It says very clearly that the if is in you,
00:13:42.381 --> 00:13:44.717
The if is in you, it's not in god.
00:13:44.783 --> 00:13:47.820
It's not in god. it says,
00:13:47.887 --> 00:13:48.487
It says, "now it shall come to pass,
00:13:48.554 --> 00:13:50.689
"now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey."
00:13:50.756 --> 00:13:54.894
If you diligently obey." say that with me.
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:55.895
Say that with me. "if you diligently obey."
00:13:55.961 --> 00:14:00.132
"if you diligently obey." now, say it again,
00:14:00.199 --> 00:14:00.699
Now, say it again, except this time,
00:14:00.766 --> 00:14:01.934
Except this time, put your finger right
00:14:02.001 --> 00:14:02.501
Put your finger right in the middle of your chest
00:14:02.568 --> 00:14:03.402
In the middle of your chest when you say it.
00:14:03.469 --> 00:14:04.637
When you say it. "if you diligently obey."
00:14:04.703 --> 00:14:12.244
"if you diligently obey." moses was speaking
00:14:12.311 --> 00:14:13.345
Moses was speaking to a generation who was
00:14:13.412 --> 00:14:17.049
To a generation who was not born in egypt,
00:14:17.116 --> 00:14:19.818
Not born in egypt, but in the wilderness.
00:14:19.885 --> 00:14:23.055
But in the wilderness. and they had spent their life
00:14:23.122 --> 00:14:25.090
And they had spent their life walking in circles because
00:14:25.157 --> 00:14:28.027
Walking in circles because the generation before them
00:14:28.093 --> 00:14:30.162
The generation before them did not obey.
00:14:30.229 --> 00:14:33.165
Did not obey. the generation before them
00:14:33.232 --> 00:14:35.000
The generation before them saw ten plagues that brought
00:14:35.067 --> 00:14:37.369
Saw ten plagues that brought the most powerful nation
00:14:37.436 --> 00:14:38.504
The most powerful nation on the face of the earth,
00:14:38.570 --> 00:14:39.905
On the face of the earth, egypt and pharaoh,
00:14:39.972 --> 00:14:41.006
Egypt and pharaoh, to its knees.
00:14:41.073 --> 00:14:43.442
To its knees. not only did they see
00:14:43.509 --> 00:14:44.376
Not only did they see that manifestation
00:14:44.443 --> 00:14:45.511
That manifestation of god's power,
00:14:45.577 --> 00:14:47.012
Of god's power, but then they saw
00:14:47.079 --> 00:14:47.846
But then they saw the red sea part and they
00:14:47.913 --> 00:14:49.915
The red sea part and they walked through on dry ground.
00:14:49.982 --> 00:14:53.352
Walked through on dry ground. on the other side
00:14:53.419 --> 00:14:53.986
On the other side of the red sea,
00:14:54.053 --> 00:14:56.055
Of the red sea, they got thirsty,
00:14:56.121 --> 00:14:57.189
They got thirsty, they drank from water
00:14:57.256 --> 00:14:58.524
They drank from water that flowed out of a rock.
00:14:58.590 --> 00:15:00.826
That flowed out of a rock. they got hungry, they had manna
00:15:00.893 --> 00:15:03.028
They got hungry, they had manna that fell from heaven.
00:15:03.095 --> 00:15:04.930
That fell from heaven. they got hot,
00:15:04.997 --> 00:15:06.065
They got hot, god sent a cloud by day.
00:15:06.131 --> 00:15:08.434
God sent a cloud by day. they got cold, he sent
00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.935
They got cold, he sent a fire by night.
00:15:10.002 --> 00:15:11.503
A fire by night. now, how much of that
00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:12.838
Now, how much of that would you have to walk through
00:15:12.905 --> 00:15:14.173
Would you have to walk through before you started thinking,
00:15:14.239 --> 00:15:15.140
Before you started thinking, "we got a pretty good god?"
00:15:15.207 --> 00:15:19.178
"we got a pretty good god?" and the problem was,
00:15:19.244 --> 00:15:22.481
And the problem was, while they were enjoying
00:15:22.548 --> 00:15:23.482
While they were enjoying his benefits and his blessings,
00:15:23.549 --> 00:15:26.752
His benefits and his blessings, they weren't believing in
00:15:26.819 --> 00:15:28.654
They weren't believing in the god who was blessing them.
00:15:28.721 --> 00:15:32.424
The god who was blessing them. they were eating the manna,
00:15:32.491 --> 00:15:34.893
They were eating the manna, but not believing in the one
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.462
But not believing in the one who provided the manna.
00:15:36.528 --> 00:15:38.630
Who provided the manna. they were drinking the water,
00:15:38.697 --> 00:15:40.132
They were drinking the water, but not believing in the god
00:15:40.199 --> 00:15:41.433
But not believing in the god who gave the water.
00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:43.669
Who gave the water. which is why every time
00:15:43.736 --> 00:15:44.770
Which is why every time that they came to a problem,
00:15:44.837 --> 00:15:46.071
That they came to a problem, they just went back
00:15:46.138 --> 00:15:46.972
They just went back to whining and complaining,
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:48.574
To whining and complaining, and complaining and whining.
00:15:48.640 --> 00:15:51.977
And complaining and whining. now, you say,
00:15:52.044 --> 00:15:52.511
Now, you say, "that sounds ridiculous,"
00:15:52.578 --> 00:15:53.612
"that sounds ridiculous," but many of you are going
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.680
But many of you are going to spend the rest of your day
00:15:54.747 --> 00:15:56.048
To spend the rest of your day whining and complaining,
00:15:56.115 --> 00:15:57.649
Whining and complaining, and complaining and whining.
00:15:57.716 --> 00:16:00.152
And complaining and whining. "it was so hot in church today.
00:16:00.219 --> 00:16:04.556
"it was so hot in church today. i hope they get that
00:16:04.623 --> 00:16:05.591
I hope they get that parking lot finished.
00:16:05.657 --> 00:16:06.592
Parking lot finished. i'm tired of it.
00:16:06.658 --> 00:16:07.659
I'm tired of it. i'm just tired of it.
00:16:07.726 --> 00:16:08.494
I'm just tired of it. i'm gonna write
00:16:08.560 --> 00:16:09.094
I'm gonna write a letter to somebody."
00:16:09.161 --> 00:16:10.162
[laughter]
00:16:10.863 --> 00:16:12.131
Write till your wrist is sore.
00:16:14.433 --> 00:16:15.634
Write till your wrist is sore. we're all in the same boat.
00:16:15.701 --> 00:16:16.835
[laughter and applause]
00:16:17.302 --> 00:16:23.175
And when they got
00:16:24.443 --> 00:16:25.077
And when they got to a moment where god
00:16:25.144 --> 00:16:26.111
To a moment where god gave them direction,
00:16:26.178 --> 00:16:28.414
Gave them direction, he said, "go into
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:29.415
He said, "go into the promised land and take it."
00:16:29.481 --> 00:16:31.950
The promised land and take it." he said, "i've been waiting for
00:16:32.017 --> 00:16:33.585
He said, "i've been waiting for 400 years for you to get here
00:16:33.652 --> 00:16:36.321
400 years for you to get here so you could take it.
00:16:36.388 --> 00:16:38.357
So you could take it. everything that
00:16:38.424 --> 00:16:38.957
Everything that i promised you is there.
00:16:39.024 --> 00:16:40.726
I promised you is there. there's milk and there's honey
00:16:40.793 --> 00:16:42.194
There's milk and there's honey and there's provision
00:16:42.261 --> 00:16:43.095
And there's provision and there's houses
00:16:43.162 --> 00:16:43.929
And there's houses you didn't build,
00:16:43.996 --> 00:16:44.630
You didn't build, and there's wells
00:16:44.696 --> 00:16:45.364
And there's wells you didn't dig,
00:16:45.431 --> 00:16:45.998
You didn't dig, and there's vineyards
00:16:46.065 --> 00:16:46.632
And there's vineyards you didn't plant.
00:16:46.698 --> 00:16:47.299
You didn't plant. now go take it."
00:16:47.366 --> 00:16:48.801
A group of men went in,
00:16:52.504 --> 00:16:53.305
A group of men went in, and a group of men came out.
00:16:53.372 --> 00:16:56.275
And a group of men came out. and because these people did not
00:16:56.341 --> 00:16:57.810
And because these people did not put their faith in god,
00:16:57.876 --> 00:17:01.180
Put their faith in god, they listened to the report
00:17:01.246 --> 00:17:02.748
They listened to the report of men on earth.
00:17:02.815 --> 00:17:06.118
Of men on earth. and we know the story.
00:17:06.185 --> 00:17:06.685
And we know the story. there's 12 spies,
00:17:06.752 --> 00:17:08.854
There's 12 spies, 10 of those spies say,
00:17:08.921 --> 00:17:10.889
10 of those spies say, "listen guys,
00:17:10.956 --> 00:17:12.024
"listen guys, the houses are there,
00:17:12.091 --> 00:17:12.991
The houses are there, the vineyards are there,
00:17:13.058 --> 00:17:13.659
The vineyards are there, the wells are there,
00:17:13.725 --> 00:17:15.894
The wells are there, the milk's there,
00:17:15.961 --> 00:17:16.728
The milk's there, the honey's there,
00:17:16.795 --> 00:17:18.530
The honey's there, but there's giants,
00:17:18.597 --> 00:17:22.434
But there's giants, and we're like grasshoppers
00:17:22.501 --> 00:17:23.602
And we're like grasshoppers in their sight."
00:17:23.669 --> 00:17:28.140
In their sight." now, if you wanna talk
00:17:28.207 --> 00:17:28.974
Now, if you wanna talk about an overexaggeration,
00:17:29.041 --> 00:17:32.611
About an overexaggeration, a grasshopper,
00:17:32.678 --> 00:17:33.512
A grasshopper, a big texas grasshopper
00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:39.618
A big texas grasshopper is about a inch tall.
00:17:39.685 --> 00:17:42.821
Is about a inch tall. an average sized texan,
00:17:42.888 --> 00:17:48.760
An average sized texan, six foot-ish predicated on,
00:17:48.827 --> 00:17:53.065
Six foot-ish predicated on, you know, mexicano
00:17:53.132 --> 00:17:54.266
You know, mexicano or you know, just depends.
00:17:54.333 --> 00:17:57.002
[laughter]
00:17:57.436 --> 00:17:59.238
So, if you got
00:18:00.973 --> 00:18:01.406
So, if you got a one-inch bug
00:18:01.473 --> 00:18:02.574
A one-inch bug and a six-foot man
00:18:02.641 --> 00:18:05.277
And a six-foot man and you find yourself
00:18:05.344 --> 00:18:06.478
And you find yourself as a six-foot man
00:18:06.545 --> 00:18:08.614
As a six-foot man standing in comparison,
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:09.948
Standing in comparison, that giant would
00:18:10.015 --> 00:18:11.250
That giant would have to be 397 feet tall
00:18:11.316 --> 00:18:15.587
Have to be 397 feet tall in order for you to look
00:18:15.654 --> 00:18:16.455
In order for you to look like a grasshopper to him.
00:18:16.522 --> 00:18:18.657
Like a grasshopper to him. so, the point is, they were
00:18:18.724 --> 00:18:20.325
So, the point is, they were overexaggerating the problem
00:18:20.392 --> 00:18:22.361
Overexaggerating the problem and under exaggerating the good.
00:18:22.427 --> 00:18:26.532
And under exaggerating the good. they said, "god is good,
00:18:26.598 --> 00:18:27.799
They said, "god is good, but he ain't that good."
00:18:27.866 --> 00:18:30.669
But he ain't that good." and the entire nation decided
00:18:30.736 --> 00:18:32.371
And the entire nation decided to walk away from the god
00:18:32.437 --> 00:18:33.772
To walk away from the god who had given them so much.
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.943
Who had given them so much. and god said to them,
00:18:38.010 --> 00:18:39.244
And god said to them, "i'm going to bury you
00:18:39.311 --> 00:18:41.346
"i'm going to bury you in this wilderness."
00:18:41.413 --> 00:18:44.850
In this wilderness." there's a consequence
00:18:44.917 --> 00:18:46.118
There's a consequence for not obeying god's word.
00:18:46.185 --> 00:18:50.455
For not obeying god's word. and for 40 years
00:18:50.522 --> 00:18:53.325
And for 40 years they walked in circles,
00:18:53.392 --> 00:18:54.826
They walked in circles, one funeral after another,
00:18:54.893 --> 00:18:57.729
One funeral after another, after another, after another,
00:18:57.796 --> 00:19:01.366

Of god's goodness, a half dozen decades
00:20:04.062 --> 00:20:08.967
A half dozen decades of this secular,
00:20:09.034 --> 00:20:10.102
Of this secular, humanistic, liberal rot.
00:20:10.168 --> 00:20:16.241
Humanistic, liberal rot. and when you look at the things
00:20:16.308 --> 00:20:17.142
And when you look at the things that we're trying to push
00:20:17.209 --> 00:20:18.243
That we're trying to push into society now,
00:20:18.310 --> 00:20:21.513
Into society now, is it the majority?
00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:24.249
Is it the majority? not hardly.
00:20:24.316 --> 00:20:27.085
Not hardly. it's just a few.
00:20:27.152 --> 00:20:30.422
It's just a few. and they're trying to tell you
00:20:30.489 --> 00:20:32.090
And they're trying to tell you what you should teach to your

What you should teach to your kids and your grandkids.
00:20:33.592 --> 00:20:36.862
Kids and your grandkids. they don't want you to have
00:20:36.928 --> 00:20:38.330
They don't want you to have an influence on your son,
00:20:38.397 --> 00:20:40.232
An influence on your son, so that he grows up to be
00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:41.333
So that he grows up to be a man or your daughter
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:42.601
A man or your daughter so that she grows up
00:20:42.668 --> 00:20:43.468
So that she grows up to be a woman.
00:20:43.535 --> 00:20:44.169
To be a woman. they want you to be silenced
00:20:44.236 --> 00:20:46.204
They want you to be silenced while they tell your child
00:20:46.271 --> 00:20:47.472
While they tell your child that they can be whatever
00:20:47.539 --> 00:20:48.573
That they can be whatever they wanna be on any day
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.508
They wanna be on any day that they want to be it.
00:20:49.574 --> 00:20:50.442
That they want to be it. and in their chaos
00:20:50.509 --> 00:20:50.976

We want you to be taught. what?
00:20:57.416 --> 00:21:00.652
What? whose report are you
00:21:00.719 --> 00:21:01.787
Whose report are you going to believe?
00:21:01.853 --> 00:21:05.057
Going to believe? don't let the few overtake
00:21:05.123 --> 00:21:08.026
Don't let the few overtake god's goodness to the many.
00:21:08.093 --> 00:21:11.530
God's goodness to the many. because we don't wanna
00:21:11.596 --> 00:21:12.230
Because we don't wanna die in the wilderness,
00:21:12.297 --> 00:21:14.299
Die in the wilderness, we wanna walk in
00:21:14.366 --> 00:21:15.133
We wanna walk in the promised land.
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.736
The promised land. i don't want my children
00:21:17.803 --> 00:21:19.538
I don't want my children and my grandchildren
00:21:19.604 --> 00:21:20.872
And my grandchildren to be walking around
00:21:20.939 --> 00:21:22.307
To be walking around in sandy circles
00:21:22.374 --> 00:21:23.842
In sandy circles wondering what went wrong.
00:21:23.909 --> 00:21:25.577
Wondering what went wrong. i want them to walk
00:21:25.644 --> 00:21:26.978
I want them to walk in the goodness of god,
00:21:27.045 --> 00:21:28.313
In the goodness of god, to have his blessings,
00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:29.748
To have his blessings, to have his provision,
00:21:29.815 --> 00:21:31.016
To have his provision, to have his outpouring,
00:21:31.083 --> 00:21:32.451
To have his outpouring, to have his promises.
00:21:32.517 --> 00:21:34.019
To have his promises. but what i know
00:21:34.086 --> 00:21:36.555
But what i know is that if that's going
00:21:36.621 --> 00:21:37.622
Is that if that's going to happen for them,
00:21:37.689 --> 00:21:39.057
To happen for them, it's up to me.
00:21:39.124 --> 00:21:42.894
It's up to me. i have a charge to keep.
00:21:42.961 --> 00:21:47.666
I have a charge to keep. and that's not going to happen
00:21:47.733 --> 00:21:49.167
And that's not going to happen on november's election day,
00:21:49.234 --> 00:21:50.402
On november's election day, that's gonna happen today,
00:21:50.469 --> 00:21:53.438
That's gonna happen today, and it's gonna happen tomorrow,
00:21:53.505 --> 00:21:55.474
And it's gonna happen tomorrow, and it's gonna happen every day
00:21:55.540 --> 00:21:56.975
And it's gonna happen every day after that because it is
00:21:57.042 --> 00:21:58.343
After that because it is a daily responsibility for me
00:21:58.410 --> 00:22:00.545
A daily responsibility for me to uphold righteousness
00:22:00.612 --> 00:22:01.947
To uphold righteousness in my life so that my sons
00:22:02.013 --> 00:22:05.951
In my life so that my sons know what a righteous man

We see god's goodness in this nation again.
00:22:27.672 --> 00:22:31.476
In this nation again. it took one generation
00:22:31.543 --> 00:22:33.311
It took one generation to push god out.
00:22:33.378 --> 00:22:35.614
To push god out. let us be the generation
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:37.582
Let us be the generation that brings him back in.
00:22:37.649 --> 00:22:39.551

Would you stand to your feet?
00:22:44.656 --> 00:22:50.562
Would you stand to your feet? the bible says that,
00:22:50.629 --> 00:22:52.497
The bible says that, "if god's people will
00:22:52.564 --> 00:22:53.398
"if god's people will humble themselves and pray,
00:22:53.465 --> 00:22:55.767
Humble themselves and pray, then he'll hear from heaven
00:22:55.834 --> 00:22:56.935
Then he'll hear from heaven and heal their land."

And pour out your heart, asking god to heal
00:23:07.512 --> 00:23:09.581
Asking god to heal this nation and to cleanse it

That name is above every name. so, in the name of jesus,

We see division, and chaos, and immorality, and disorder

She's buried in. put your arms around her

Father, i am asking you to put one up and another down
00:24:10.175 --> 00:24:12.644
To put one up and another down and let your hand choose
00:24:12.711 --> 00:24:14.746
And let your hand choose for us the leader that
00:24:14.813 --> 00:24:16.414
For us the leader that you have in your sovereign

Will for this nation. i'm asking you that fathers

I'm asking you that fathers and mothers would spend time
00:24:21.820 --> 00:24:23.822
And mothers would spend time in your word reading
00:24:23.889 --> 00:24:25.724
In your word reading and listening and then
00:24:25.790 --> 00:24:27.259
And listening and then spend time in prayer

And by your mercy. father, we don't deserve it
00:24:35.767 --> 00:24:37.636
Father, we don't deserve it but you promised that
00:24:37.702 --> 00:24:38.803
But you promised that where sin did abound,
00:24:38.870 --> 00:24:40.205
Where sin did abound, grace would that much
00:24:40.272 --> 00:24:41.273
Grace would that much more abound.
00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:42.440
