- Might consider obnoxious, because it's not just normal
- 00:01:05.926 --> 00:01:07.061

- [woo.] you see,
- 00:02:10.491 --> 00:02:10.925
- You see, the bible tells us in
- 00:02:10.991 --> 00:02:11.625

- 00:02:27.274 --> 00:02:28.209
- Why? because there are times
- 00:02:28.275 --> 00:02:29.276
- Because there are times when you need to consider
- 00:02:29.343 --> 00:02:30.678
- When you need to consider what god has done for you,
- 00:02:30.744 --> 00:02:32.479

- 00:02:40.621 --> 00:02:41.789
- Who you were before you met him,
- 00:02:41.855 --> 00:02:42.456
- Met him, and now who you are because

- That for all of the people who are walking with jesus,
- 00:03:29.870 --> 00:03:31.472
- Who are walking with jesus, they're blind to who he
- 00:03:31.538 --> 00:03:33.240
- They're blind to who he truly is,
- 00:03:33.307 --> 00:03:34.041

- 00:04:41.942 --> 00:04:42.643
- In the jewish culture that says,
- 00:04:42.710 --> 00:04:43.077
- That says, "next year in jerusalem."
- 00:04:43.143 --> 00:04:45.179
- "next year in jerusalem." and what they're saying is,
- 00:04:45.245 --> 00:04:46.413
- And what they're saying is, hopefully,
- 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.481
- Hopefully, next year when we celebrate
- 00:04:47.548 --> 00:04:49.216
- Next year when we celebrate passover,
- 00:04:49.283 --> 00:04:49.850
- Passover, we're not going to celebrate
- 00:04:49.917 --> 00:04:50.951
- We're not going to celebrate it just with us,
- 00:04:51.018 --> 00:04:52.052
- It just with us, but messiah will be here.
- 00:04:52.119 --> 00:04:54.488
- But messiah will be here. [amen.]
- 00:04:54.555 --> 00:04:55.656
- [amen.] so on this day,
- 00:04:55.723 --> 00:04:56.757
- So on this day, when jesus is walking towards
- 00:04:56.824 --> 00:04:58.559
- When jesus is walking towards jerusalem,
- 00:04:58.625 --> 00:04:59.226
- Jerusalem, thousands of faithful jews are
- 00:04:59.293 --> 00:05:01.328
- Thousands of faithful jews are in the same caravan,
- 00:05:01.395 --> 00:05:02.996
- In the same caravan, because they're all going to
- 00:05:03.063 --> 00:05:04.865
- Because they're all going to jerusalem looking for the one
- 00:05:04.932 --> 00:05:06.767
- Jerusalem looking for the one who was promised to come.
- 00:05:06.834 --> 00:05:08.135
- Who was promised to come. guess who's in the crowd?
- 00:05:08.202 --> 00:05:10.571
- Guess who's in the crowd? the one.
- 00:05:10.637 --> 00:05:13.006
- The one. he's just a few feet away,
- 00:05:13.073 --> 00:05:14.308
- He's just a few feet away, and they don't even know
- 00:05:14.375 --> 00:05:14.975
- And they don't even know he's there.
- 00:05:15.042 --> 00:05:17.111
- He's there. they're blinded.
- 00:05:17.177 --> 00:05:19.146
- They're blinded. they're blinded by
- 00:05:19.213 --> 00:05:19.847
- They're blinded by their traditions.
- 00:05:19.913 --> 00:05:22.583
- Their traditions. there's no way that
- 00:05:22.649 --> 00:05:23.817
- There's no way that the messiah's going to come
- 00:05:23.884 --> 00:05:25.319
- The messiah's going to come in a manger.
- 00:05:25.386 --> 00:05:26.954
- In a manger. there's no way that
- 00:05:27.020 --> 00:05:27.855
- There's no way that the messiah's going to come
- 00:05:27.921 --> 00:05:29.223
- The messiah's going to come out of nazareth.
- 00:05:29.289 --> 00:05:31.759
- Out of nazareth. nazareth?
- 00:05:31.825 --> 00:05:34.128
- Nazareth? this is what philip said
- 00:05:34.194 --> 00:05:36.029
- This is what philip said to nathaniel in john 1.
- 00:05:36.096 --> 00:05:38.532
- To nathaniel in john 1. he said,
- 00:05:38.599 --> 00:05:39.032
- He said, "we have found him that moses
- 00:05:39.099 --> 00:05:41.201
- "we have found him that moses spoke of and the prophets
- 00:05:41.268 --> 00:05:42.336
- Spoke of and the prophets spoke of.
- 00:05:42.403 --> 00:05:43.170
- Spoke of. he's jesus of nazareth."
- 00:05:43.237 --> 00:05:44.905
- He's jesus of nazareth." now think about this.
- 00:05:44.972 --> 00:05:46.006
- Now think about this. philip is saying,
- 00:05:46.073 --> 00:05:46.974
- Philip is saying, the guy that we've been
- 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:47.941
- The guy that we've been looking for,
- 00:05:48.008 --> 00:05:48.509
- Looking for, for a thousand years,
- 00:05:48.575 --> 00:05:49.643
- For a thousand years, has just showed up.
- 00:05:49.710 --> 00:05:51.712
- Has just showed up. and the first thing nathaniel
- 00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:52.646
- And the first thing nathaniel says is,
- 00:05:52.713 --> 00:05:53.313
- Says is, "not from nazareth."
- 00:05:53.380 --> 00:05:56.316
- "not from nazareth." you see,
- 00:05:56.383 --> 00:05:56.717
- You see, there's times when
- 00:05:56.784 --> 00:05:58.185
- There's times when our perspective,
- 00:05:58.252 --> 00:05:59.219
- Our perspective, our assumptions,
- 00:05:59.286 --> 00:06:00.154
- Our assumptions, our familiarity
- 00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:01.455
- Our familiarity cancels out the true identity
- 00:06:01.522 --> 00:06:03.690
- Cancels out the true identity of jesus christ.
- 00:06:03.757 --> 00:06:06.193
- Of jesus christ. jesus is making his way
- 00:06:06.260 --> 00:06:07.761
- Jesus is making his way to jerusalem,
- 00:06:07.828 --> 00:06:08.495
- To jerusalem, and there's people
- 00:06:08.562 --> 00:06:09.096
- And there's people who are blinded because of
- 00:06:09.163 --> 00:06:10.330
- Who are blinded because of their religious tradition
- 00:06:10.397 --> 00:06:11.565
- Their religious tradition and obligations.
- 00:06:11.632 --> 00:06:12.833
- And obligations. his disciples,
- 00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:13.901
- His disciples, they're not blinded by
- 00:06:13.967 --> 00:06:14.835
- They're not blinded by traditions;
- 00:06:14.902 --> 00:06:15.369
- Traditions; they're blinded by ambition.
- 00:06:15.436 --> 00:06:17.371
- They're blinded by ambition. [whistle]
- 00:06:17.438 --> 00:06:19.206
- [whistle] they believe that this is
- 00:06:19.273 --> 00:06:20.507
- They believe that this is the promised one.
- 00:06:20.574 --> 00:06:21.508
- The promised one. they believe that
- 00:06:21.575 --> 00:06:22.476
- They believe that he's just like moses.
- 00:06:22.543 --> 00:06:23.977
- He's just like moses. they believe that what moses
- 00:06:24.044 --> 00:06:25.412
- They believe that what moses did in egypt,
- 00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:26.346
- Did in egypt, jesus is going to do
- 00:06:26.413 --> 00:06:27.448
- Jesus is going to do in jerusalem.
- 00:06:27.514 --> 00:06:28.315
- In jerusalem. this is why the disciples are
- 00:06:28.382 --> 00:06:29.616
- This is why the disciples are arguing with each other all
- 00:06:29.683 --> 00:06:31.218
- Arguing with each other all the way up to the time of
- 00:06:31.285 --> 00:06:32.219
- The way up to the time of his arrest;
- 00:06:32.286 --> 00:06:33.620
- His arrest; who's going to be
- 00:06:33.687 --> 00:06:34.221
- Who's going to be the greatest?
- 00:06:34.288 --> 00:06:34.655
- The greatest? who's going to sit on
- 00:06:34.721 --> 00:06:35.322
- Who's going to sit on your left?
- 00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:35.823
- Your left? who's going to sit on
- 00:06:35.889 --> 00:06:36.457
- Who's going to sit on your right?
- 00:06:36.523 --> 00:06:37.090
- Your right? who are you going to hand
- 00:06:37.157 --> 00:06:38.192
- Who are you going to hand the crown and the authority
- 00:06:38.258 --> 00:06:39.393
- The crown and the authority and the power to?
- 00:06:39.460 --> 00:06:40.127
- And the power to? because we know who you are.
- 00:06:40.194 --> 00:06:41.662
- Because we know who you are. you're the son of
- 00:06:41.728 --> 00:06:42.262
- You're the son of the living god.
- 00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:42.963
- The living god. you're going to kick
- 00:06:43.030 --> 00:06:43.730
- You're going to kick pontius pilate right out of
- 00:06:43.797 --> 00:06:45.065
- Pontius pilate right out of his chair.
- 00:06:45.132 --> 00:06:45.833
- His chair. you're going to clean out
- 00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:46.967
- You're going to clean out the swamp.
- 00:06:47.034 --> 00:06:47.534
- The swamp. we are riding the j train
- 00:06:47.601 --> 00:06:49.169
- We are riding the j train all the way to the capital,
- 00:06:49.236 --> 00:06:50.471
- All the way to the capital, baby.
- 00:06:50.537 --> 00:06:51.705
- Baby. (laughter & applause)
- 00:06:51.772 --> 00:06:53.974
- (laughter & applause) and just like it was then,
- 00:06:54.041 --> 00:06:55.309
- And just like it was then, it is now.
- 00:06:55.375 --> 00:06:55.843
- It is now. there are people,
- 00:06:55.909 --> 00:06:56.376
- There are people, who are interested in what
- 00:06:56.443 --> 00:06:57.277
- Who are interested in what jesus can do for them,
- 00:06:57.344 --> 00:06:58.712
- Jesus can do for them, not what they can do for him;
- 00:06:58.779 --> 00:07:01.949
- Not what they can do for him; not, "lord, let me serve you,"
- 00:07:02.015 --> 00:07:03.450
- Not, "lord, let me serve you," but "lord, you serve me."
- 00:07:03.517 --> 00:07:04.918
- But "lord, you serve me." you need to understand
- 00:07:04.985 --> 00:07:05.686
- You need to understand something.
- 00:07:05.752 --> 00:07:07.287
- Something. jesus christ is not
- 00:07:07.354 --> 00:07:10.157
- Jesus christ is not a political figure.
- 00:07:10.224 --> 00:07:12.392
- A political figure. contrary to popular belief,
- 00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:14.161
- Contrary to popular belief, he's not a left
- 00:07:14.228 --> 00:07:15.496
- He's not a left or a right-leaning god.
- 00:07:15.562 --> 00:07:16.997
- Or a right-leaning god. he doesn't live in a red state
- 00:07:17.064 --> 00:07:18.966
- He doesn't live in a red state or a blue state.
- 00:07:19.032 --> 00:07:19.967
- Or a blue state. he's not a conservative
- 00:07:20.033 --> 00:07:21.168
- He's not a conservative and he's not a liberal.
- 00:07:21.235 --> 00:07:22.369
- And he's not a liberal. he is, however,
- 00:07:22.436 --> 00:07:23.837
- He is, however, king above kings,
- 00:07:23.904 --> 00:07:25.405
- King above kings, and he is lord above lords.
- 00:07:25.472 --> 00:07:27.508
- And he is lord above lords. he sits on the throne
- 00:07:27.574 --> 00:07:29.243
- He sits on the throne and he holds this earth
- 00:07:29.309 --> 00:07:30.878
- And he holds this earth in the palm of his hand.
- 00:07:30.944 --> 00:07:32.145
- In the palm of his hand. he is the highest
- 00:07:32.212 --> 00:07:33.881
- He is the highest of the high courts.
- 00:07:33.947 --> 00:07:34.982
- Of the high courts. he cannot be overruled.
- 00:07:35.048 --> 00:07:36.850
- He cannot be overruled. he will not be overturned.
- 00:07:36.917 --> 00:07:39.019
- He will not be overturned. and he cannot be outvoted.
- 00:07:39.086 --> 00:07:41.121
- And he cannot be outvoted. he is greater than
- 00:07:41.188 --> 00:07:42.356
- He is greater than the greatest forces
- 00:07:42.422 --> 00:07:43.624
- The greatest forces on the face of the earth.
- 00:07:43.690 --> 00:07:45.259
- On the face of the earth. when the powerful people
- 00:07:45.325 --> 00:07:46.593
- When the powerful people on this planet get together
- 00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:48.428
- On this planet get together and they plot and they plan,
- 00:07:48.495 --> 00:07:50.163
- And they plot and they plan, the bible calls it,
- 00:07:50.230 --> 00:07:51.164
- The bible calls it, "a vain thing."
- 00:07:51.231 --> 00:07:52.666
- "a vain thing." why?
- 00:07:52.733 --> 00:07:53.233
- Why? because god is the one
- 00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:54.835
- Because god is the one who decides.
- 00:07:54.902 --> 00:07:55.836
- Who decides. he looks at the plans of earth
- 00:07:55.903 --> 00:07:57.504
- He looks at the plans of earth and he laughs and he brings
- 00:07:57.571 --> 00:07:59.039
- And he laughs and he brings wise men into confusion.
- 00:07:59.106 --> 00:08:01.542
- Wise men into confusion. if this nation,
- 00:08:01.608 --> 00:08:02.943
- If this nation, if this world,
- 00:08:03.010 --> 00:08:04.144
- If this world, if these people
- 00:08:04.211 --> 00:08:05.212
- If these people are ever going to be saved,
- 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.813
- Are ever going to be saved, revived and restored,
- 00:08:06.880 --> 00:08:08.515
- Revived and restored, it will not be when we try
- 00:08:08.582 --> 00:08:10.117
- It will not be when we try to fit god into our agenda.
- 00:08:10.183 --> 00:08:12.352
- To fit god into our agenda. it will be when we humble
- 00:08:12.419 --> 00:08:13.954
- It will be when we humble ourselves and when we pray,
- 00:08:14.021 --> 00:08:15.956
- Ourselves and when we pray, and when we willingly seek
- 00:08:16.023 --> 00:08:17.424
- And when we willingly seek his face.
- 00:08:17.491 --> 00:08:18.358
- His face. that's when he heals our land!
- 00:08:18.425 --> 00:08:22.629
- That's when he heals our land! [amen.]
- 00:08:22.696 --> 00:08:23.363
- [amen.] (applause)
- 00:08:23.430 --> 00:08:27.701
- (applause) people want to know;
- 00:08:27.768 --> 00:08:28.735
- People want to know; when is god going to move?
- 00:08:28.802 --> 00:08:30.170
- When is god going to move? when is god going to revive?
- 00:08:30.237 --> 00:08:31.738
- When is god going to revive? when is god going to change?
- 00:08:31.805 --> 00:08:33.173
- When is god going to change? god is not going to change
- 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.175
- God is not going to change until we repent.
- 00:08:35.242 --> 00:08:36.944
- Until we repent. [amen.]
- 00:08:37.010 --> 00:08:37.611
- [amen.] [come on.]
- 00:08:37.678 --> 00:08:38.278
- [come on.] then he'll heal and change
- 00:08:38.345 --> 00:08:39.413
- Then he'll heal and change our land.
- 00:08:39.479 --> 00:08:40.581
- Our land. [amen.]
- 00:08:40.647 --> 00:08:41.281
- [amen.] we cannot be one nation
- 00:08:41.348 --> 00:08:43.116
- We cannot be one nation under god until we submit
- 00:08:43.183 --> 00:08:45.619
- Under god until we submit to him.
- 00:08:45.686 --> 00:08:46.987
- To him. [amen.]
- 00:08:47.054 --> 00:08:47.654
- [amen.] and until then,
- 00:08:47.721 --> 00:08:48.488
- And until then, we are going to be a nation
- 00:08:48.555 --> 00:08:49.990
- We are going to be a nation gone under.
- 00:08:50.057 --> 00:08:51.592
- Gone under. [yes.]
- 00:08:51.658 --> 00:08:53.093
- [yes.] because the bible says,
- 00:08:53.160 --> 00:08:53.860
- Because the bible says, "all nations that forget god
- 00:08:53.927 --> 00:08:55.762
- "all nations that forget god are turned into hell."
- 00:08:55.829 --> 00:08:58.932
- Are turned into hell." the people who are walking
- 00:08:58.999 --> 00:08:59.967
- The people who are walking with jesus have their agenda,
- 00:09:00.033 --> 00:09:01.735
- With jesus have their agenda, but they don't know who jesus
- 00:09:01.802 --> 00:09:03.070
- But they don't know who jesus truly is.
- 00:09:03.136 --> 00:09:04.004
- Truly is. yet bartimaeus,
- 00:09:04.071 --> 00:09:05.205
- Yet bartimaeus, he calls out to him.
- 00:09:05.272 --> 00:09:06.607
- He calls out to him. and he says something that is
- 00:09:06.673 --> 00:09:07.908
- And he says something that is so powerful and so profound.
- 00:09:07.975 --> 00:09:09.910
- So powerful and so profound. he says,
- 00:09:09.977 --> 00:09:10.344
- He says, "jesus, son of david."
- 00:09:10.410 --> 00:09:13.814
- "jesus, son of david." it's a messianic statement.
- 00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:17.050
- It's a messianic statement. he's saying,
- 00:09:17.117 --> 00:09:17.551
- He's saying, you're not the boy from
- 00:09:17.618 --> 00:09:18.285
- You're not the boy from nazareth,
- 00:09:18.352 --> 00:09:19.953
- Nazareth, you're not the controversy
- 00:09:20.020 --> 00:09:21.254
- You're not the controversy in the manger,
- 00:09:21.321 --> 00:09:22.356
- In the manger, you're not that radical rabbi
- 00:09:22.422 --> 00:09:23.857
- You're not that radical rabbi from galilee,
- 00:09:23.924 --> 00:09:24.925
- From galilee, you are the son of david.
- 00:09:24.992 --> 00:09:27.694
- You are the son of david. you are the seed of jesse.
- 00:09:27.761 --> 00:09:29.930
- You are the seed of jesse. you are the one that they
- 00:09:29.997 --> 00:09:31.999
- You are the one that they promised would come.
- 00:09:32.065 --> 00:09:33.433
- Promised would come. and when you come,
- 00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:34.501
- And when you come, the bible said that the spirit
- 00:09:34.568 --> 00:09:35.902
- The bible said that the spirit of the lord was upon you,
- 00:09:35.969 --> 00:09:37.371
- Of the lord was upon you, because he anointed you to
- 00:09:37.437 --> 00:09:39.373
- Because he anointed you to open up the eyes of the blind.
- 00:09:39.439 --> 00:09:41.642
- Open up the eyes of the blind. so if you are who they say
- 00:09:41.708 --> 00:09:43.844
- So if you are who they say you are,
- 00:09:43.910 --> 00:09:44.578
- You are, then you should be able to do
- 00:09:44.645 --> 00:09:46.179
- Then you should be able to do what they said you can do.
- 00:09:46.246 --> 00:09:47.748
- What they said you can do. and i'm a blind man,
- 00:09:47.814 --> 00:09:49.282
- And i'm a blind man, so today i'm asking you,
- 00:09:49.349 --> 00:09:51.318
- So today i'm asking you, "son of david,
- 00:09:51.385 --> 00:09:52.786
- "son of david, have mercy on me."
- 00:09:52.853 --> 00:09:56.323
- Have mercy on me." [amen.]
- 00:09:56.390 --> 00:09:57.190
- [amen.] [amen.]
- 00:09:57.257 --> 00:09:57.758
- [amen.] bartimaeus may not have had
- 00:09:57.824 --> 00:09:58.525
- Bartimaeus may not have had natural sight,
- 00:09:58.592 --> 00:09:59.192
- Natural sight, but trust me;
- 00:09:59.259 --> 00:09:59.893
- But trust me; he saw a lot more than you
- 00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:00.927
- He saw a lot more than you think he did.
- 00:10:00.994 --> 00:10:03.330
- Think he did. in luke,
- 00:10:03.397 --> 00:10:04.131
- In luke, we're told that he's
- 00:10:04.197 --> 00:10:04.798
- We're told that he's a blind beggar.
- 00:10:04.865 --> 00:10:07.801
- A blind beggar. in mark,
- 00:10:07.868 --> 00:10:08.368
- In mark, we're given his name,
- 00:10:08.435 --> 00:10:09.503
- We're given his name, bartimaeus.
- 00:10:09.569 --> 00:10:12.105
- Bartimaeus. now why would mark give us
- 00:10:12.172 --> 00:10:12.973
- Now why would mark give us his name?
- 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:13.573
- His name? because in the bible,
- 00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:14.908
- Because in the bible, your name revealed
- 00:10:14.975 --> 00:10:15.842
- Your name revealed your character.
- 00:10:15.909 --> 00:10:18.211
- Your character. and the hebrew word
- 00:10:18.278 --> 00:10:19.379
- And the hebrew word "bartimaeus" is actually
- 00:10:19.446 --> 00:10:20.447
- "bartimaeus" is actually two words put together.
- 00:10:20.514 --> 00:10:21.648
- Two words put together. "bar" is the hebrew word for
- 00:10:21.715 --> 00:10:23.717
- "bar" is the hebrew word for "son of."
- 00:10:23.784 --> 00:10:27.087
- "son of." this is why when a hebrew
- 00:10:27.154 --> 00:10:28.722
- This is why when a hebrew child turns 13,
- 00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:29.890
- Child turns 13, he has a bar mitzvah.
- 00:10:29.956 --> 00:10:32.292
- He has a bar mitzvah. "mitzvah" is blessing.
- 00:10:32.359 --> 00:10:33.493
- "mitzvah" is blessing. "bar" is son of.
- 00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:35.195
- "bar" is son of. so that celebration means
- 00:10:35.262 --> 00:10:36.863
- So that celebration means you are a son of blessing.
- 00:10:36.930 --> 00:10:39.599
- You are a son of blessing. "bat mitzvah," daughter of,
- 00:10:39.666 --> 00:10:41.635
- "bat mitzvah," daughter of, "mitzvah," blessing.
- 00:10:41.702 --> 00:10:42.669
- "mitzvah," blessing. you are a daughter
- 00:10:42.736 --> 00:10:43.704
- You are a daughter of blessing.
- 00:10:43.770 --> 00:10:44.471
- Of blessing. you are here to be blessed.
- 00:10:44.538 --> 00:10:47.074
- You are here to be blessed. so "bar" means son of.
- 00:10:47.140 --> 00:10:49.342
- So "bar" means son of. what does "timaeus" mean?
- 00:10:49.409 --> 00:10:51.778
- What does "timaeus" mean? it doesn't mean blessing.
- 00:10:51.845 --> 00:10:54.247
- It doesn't mean blessing. it means foul and defiled one.
- 00:10:54.314 --> 00:10:59.052
- It means foul and defiled one. blind bartimaeus is not only
- 00:10:59.119 --> 00:11:00.987
- Blind bartimaeus is not only unable to see,
- 00:11:01.054 --> 00:11:01.822
- Unable to see, but blind bartimaeus has
- 00:11:01.888 --> 00:11:02.923
- But blind bartimaeus has a history that's not worth
- 00:11:02.989 --> 00:11:04.091
- A history that's not worth talking about,
- 00:11:04.157 --> 00:11:04.758
- Talking about, because he's the son
- 00:11:04.825 --> 00:11:05.926
- Because he's the son of the foul
- 00:11:05.992 --> 00:11:06.960
- Of the foul and the son of the defiled.
- 00:11:07.027 --> 00:11:11.031
- And the son of the defiled. and not only is he in
- 00:11:11.098 --> 00:11:12.432
- And not only is he in a bad situation,
- 00:11:12.499 --> 00:11:15.902
- A bad situation, but literally in the city
- 00:11:15.969 --> 00:11:17.237
- But literally in the city of jericho,
- 00:11:17.304 --> 00:11:17.904
- Of jericho, he's geographically
- 00:11:17.971 --> 00:11:19.473
- He's geographically in the lowest place
- 00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:20.974
- In the lowest place on the face of the earth.
- 00:11:21.041 --> 00:11:24.277
- On the face of the earth. ninety-two feet below
- 00:11:24.344 --> 00:11:25.612
- Ninety-two feet below sea level is where jericho
- 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.280
- Sea level is where jericho resides.
- 00:11:27.347 --> 00:11:27.914
- Resides. and everything is a climb up
- 00:11:27.981 --> 00:11:30.083
- And everything is a climb up from there.as season,
- 00:11:30.150 --> 00:11:31.151
- Remember,
- 00:11:32.119 --> 00:11:32.719
- Bethlehem was no accident.
- 00:11:32.719 --> 00:11:34.154
- Long before the world
- 00:11:34.154 --> 00:11:35.088
- Was formed.
- 00:11:35.088 --> 00:11:35.689
- God chose that

- Who cannot see. not only can he not see,
- 00:12:33.313 --> 00:12:34.347
- Not only can he not see, but because he's blind,
- 00:12:34.414 --> 00:12:35.382
- But because he's blind, he cannot work,
- 00:12:35.448 --> 00:12:36.149
- He cannot work, so he's in poverty.
- 00:12:36.216 --> 00:12:37.217
- So he's in poverty. not only is he in poverty,
- 00:12:37.284 --> 00:12:38.385
- Not only is he in poverty, he's got a social problem.
- 00:12:38.451 --> 00:12:39.619
- He's got a social problem. he's the son of the foul and
- 00:12:39.686 --> 00:12:41.421
- He's the son of the foul and he's the son of the defiled.
- 00:12:41.488 --> 00:12:43.356
- He's the son of the defiled. and he's in a low, low place.
- 00:12:43.423 --> 00:12:48.495
- And he's in a low, low place. men around him would think,
- 00:12:48.562 --> 00:12:50.263
- Men around him would think, if there's anybody who's not
- 00:12:50.330 --> 00:12:51.498
- If there's anybody who's not worthy to call upon jesus,
- 00:12:51.565 --> 00:12:53.400
- Worthy to call upon jesus, it's bartimaeus.
- 00:12:53.466 --> 00:12:56.336
- It's bartimaeus. but before we judge bartimaeus
- 00:12:56.403 --> 00:12:57.971
- But before we judge bartimaeus for calling out to christ,
- 00:12:58.038 --> 00:12:59.539
- For calling out to christ, recognize that you and i,
- 00:12:59.606 --> 00:13:01.374
- Recognize that you and i, without jesus in our lives,
- 00:13:01.441 --> 00:13:03.410
- Without jesus in our lives, are just as low,
- 00:13:03.476 --> 00:13:04.477
- Are just as low, just as lost,
- 00:13:04.544 --> 00:13:05.478
- Just as lost, and just as poor
- 00:13:05.545 --> 00:13:06.646
- And just as poor as bartimaeus.
- 00:13:06.713 --> 00:13:08.481
- As bartimaeus. we are all sons and daughters
- 00:13:08.548 --> 00:13:10.383
- We are all sons and daughters of the defiled,
- 00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:11.218
- Of the defiled, because the bible says,
- 00:13:11.284 --> 00:13:12.152
- Because the bible says, "by one man did sin enter
- 00:13:12.219 --> 00:13:13.987
- "by one man did sin enter the world."
- 00:13:14.054 --> 00:13:14.421
- The world." that man was adam.
- 00:13:14.487 --> 00:13:15.689
- That man was adam. and romans tells us very
- 00:13:15.755 --> 00:13:16.990
- And romans tells us very clearly that all have sinned
- 00:13:17.057 --> 00:13:19.259
- Clearly that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory
- 00:13:19.326 --> 00:13:20.627
- And fallen short of the glory of god.
- 00:13:20.694 --> 00:13:21.127
- Of god. without jesus in your life,
- 00:13:21.194 --> 00:13:23.496
- Without jesus in your life, you are a defiled man
- 00:13:23.563 --> 00:13:25.432
- You are a defiled man and a defiled woman.
- 00:13:25.498 --> 00:13:26.733
- And a defiled woman. it doesn't matter how old,
- 00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:28.101
- It doesn't matter how old, how young,
- 00:13:28.168 --> 00:13:28.869
- How young, how rich,
- 00:13:28.935 --> 00:13:29.536
- How rich, how poor.
- 00:13:29.603 --> 00:13:30.403
- How poor. spiritually,
- 00:13:30.470 --> 00:13:31.338
- Spiritually, you're in the lowest place
- 00:13:31.404 --> 00:13:32.672
- You're in the lowest place on the face of the earth
- 00:13:32.739 --> 00:13:34.007
- On the face of the earth if you do not have
- 00:13:34.074 --> 00:13:34.808
- If you do not have jesus christ as your savior.
- 00:13:34.875 --> 00:13:37.143
- Jesus christ as your savior. [amen.]
- 00:13:37.210 --> 00:13:38.011
- [amen.] without him,
- 00:13:38.078 --> 00:13:38.678
- Without him, you have no hope.
- 00:13:38.745 --> 00:13:39.679
- You have no hope. for jesus said,
- 00:13:39.746 --> 00:13:40.513
- For jesus said, "i am the door.
- 00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:41.948
- "i am the door. no man comes unto the father
- 00:13:42.015 --> 00:13:43.817
- No man comes unto the father but by me."
- 00:13:43.884 --> 00:13:45.085
- But by me." [right.]
- 00:13:45.151 --> 00:13:45.619
- [right.] without him,
- 00:13:45.685 --> 00:13:46.253
- Without him, you have no joy,
- 00:13:46.319 --> 00:13:47.554
- You have no joy, because in his presence
- 00:13:47.621 --> 00:13:49.089
- Because in his presence is the fullness of joy.
- 00:13:49.155 --> 00:13:50.357
- Is the fullness of joy. without him,
- 00:13:50.423 --> 00:13:51.024
- Without him, you have no peace,

- [amen.] when i read those words,
- 00:17:11.024 --> 00:17:11.925
- When i read those words, it gripped me,
- 00:17:11.991 --> 00:17:14.561
- It gripped me, because here we have the god
- 00:17:14.627 --> 00:17:16.763
- Because here we have the god who holds the world
- 00:17:16.830 --> 00:17:17.764
- Who holds the world in his hand.
- 00:17:17.831 --> 00:17:18.832
- In his hand. and it says he stands still.
- 00:17:18.898 --> 00:17:22.302

- 00:17:25.271 --> 00:17:26.106
- All of heaven, all of earth.
- 00:17:26.172 --> 00:17:27.173
- All of earth. when jesus stopped,
- 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.575
- When jesus stopped, it's as if everything said,
- 00:17:28.641 --> 00:17:29.709
- It's as if everything said, "hold everything!
- 00:17:29.776 --> 00:17:34.180
- "hold everything! that guy,
- 00:17:34.247 --> 00:17:36.416
- That guy, he knows who i am."
- 00:17:36.483 --> 00:17:37.617
- He knows who i am." [woo!]
- 00:17:37.684 --> 00:17:38.485
- [woo!] [yes.]
- 00:17:38.551 --> 00:17:39.152
- [yes.] [amen.]
- 00:17:39.219 --> 00:17:40.019
- [amen.] he didn't just call me jesus.
- 00:17:40.086 --> 00:17:42.088
- He didn't just call me jesus. he said i'm the son of david.
- 00:17:42.155 --> 00:17:44.390
- He said i'm the son of david. [amen.]
- 00:17:44.457 --> 00:17:45.258
- [amen.] he knows who i am.
- 00:17:45.325 --> 00:17:47.727
- He knows who i am. bring him over here to me.
- 00:17:47.794 --> 00:17:50.063
- Bring him over here to me. i need to talk to him.
- 00:17:50.130 --> 00:17:52.999
- I need to talk to him. and in verse 41,
- 00:17:53.066 --> 00:17:53.833
- And in verse 41, he says something that's
- 00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:54.734
- He says something that's rather peculiar.
- 00:17:54.801 --> 00:17:55.902
- Rather peculiar. and many people use it as
- 00:17:55.969 --> 00:17:57.370
- And many people use it as an indictment against a god
- 00:17:57.437 --> 00:17:58.972
- An indictment against a god who's not merciful.
- 00:17:59.038 --> 00:18:02.342
- Who's not merciful. jesus says to bartimaeus,
- 00:18:02.408 --> 00:18:03.943
- Jesus says to bartimaeus, "what do you want me to do
- 00:18:04.010 --> 00:18:05.111
- "what do you want me to do for you?"
- 00:18:05.178 --> 00:18:07.714
- For you?" and we hear words like that,
- 00:18:07.780 --> 00:18:08.882
- And we hear words like that, and we think,
- 00:18:08.948 --> 00:18:09.315
- And we think, what a ridiculous question.
- 00:18:09.382 --> 00:18:10.550
- What a ridiculous question. this man's blind.
- 00:18:10.617 --> 00:18:11.551
- This man's blind. of course, he wants to see.
- 00:18:11.618 --> 00:18:14.621
- Of course, he wants to see. but what you need to
- 00:18:14.687 --> 00:18:15.221
- But what you need to understand is that god is such
- 00:18:15.288 --> 00:18:17.957
- Understand is that god is such a gracious god.
- 00:18:18.024 --> 00:18:19.058
- A gracious god. he will not interfere
- 00:18:19.125 --> 00:18:20.727
- He will not interfere in the circumstance
- 00:18:20.793 --> 00:18:21.694
- In the circumstance until you invite him.
- 00:18:21.761 --> 00:18:23.396
- Until you invite him. [that's right.]
- 00:18:23.463 --> 00:18:24.130
- [that's right.] [yes.]
- 00:18:24.197 --> 00:18:25.632
- [yes.] you see,
- 00:18:25.698 --> 00:18:26.166
- You see, a lot of people get upset,
- 00:18:26.232 --> 00:18:27.233
- A lot of people get upset, and they get angry
- 00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:28.034
- And they get angry and frustrated with god
- 00:18:28.101 --> 00:18:28.968
- And frustrated with god because they say, "well,
- 00:18:29.035 --> 00:18:29.736
- Because they say, "well, if you're all knowing, god;
- 00:18:29.802 --> 00:18:30.737
- If you're all knowing, god; and if you're all powerful,
- 00:18:30.803 --> 00:18:31.538
- And if you're all powerful, god;
- 00:18:31.604 --> 00:18:32.138
- God; and you see everything, god,
- 00:18:32.205 --> 00:18:33.640
- And you see everything, god, then why don't you just fix it
- 00:18:33.706 --> 00:18:34.741
- Then why don't you just fix it for me?"
- 00:18:34.807 --> 00:18:37.177
- For me?" because until your mouth
- 00:18:37.243 --> 00:18:38.144
- Because until your mouth opens up,
- 00:18:38.211 --> 00:18:39.045
- Opens up, heaven stays closed up.
- 00:18:39.112 --> 00:18:40.880
- Heaven stays closed up. [right.]
- 00:18:40.947 --> 00:18:42.148
- [right.] (applause)
- 00:18:42.215 --> 00:18:48.488
- (applause) he won't do it
- 00:18:48.555 --> 00:18:49.322
- He won't do it until you ask him to.
- 00:18:49.389 --> 00:18:51.024
- Until you ask him to. [amen.]
- 00:18:51.090 --> 00:18:51.958
- [amen.] but when you ask him to,
- 00:18:52.025 --> 00:18:54.394
- But when you ask him to, ask in faith believing,
- 00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:56.696
- Ask in faith believing, and your blinded eyes
- 00:18:56.763 --> 00:18:57.664
- And your blinded eyes will see.
- 00:18:57.730 --> 00:18:58.765
- Will see. ask in faith believing,
- 00:18:58.831 --> 00:19:00.200
- Ask in faith believing, and that sickness
- 00:19:00.266 --> 00:19:00.900
- And that sickness and that disease will go away.
- 00:19:00.967 --> 00:19:02.602
- And that disease will go away. ask in faith believing,
- 00:19:02.669 --> 00:19:04.370
- Ask in faith believing, and suddenly,
- 00:19:04.437 --> 00:19:05.171
- And suddenly, everything changes.
- 00:19:05.238 --> 00:19:06.339
- Everything changes. why?
- 00:19:06.406 --> 00:19:06.773
- Why? because you have invited
- 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:07.840
- Because you have invited the supernatural power
- 00:19:07.907 --> 00:19:09.075
- The supernatural power of heaven to come down
- 00:19:09.142 --> 00:19:10.443
- Of heaven to come down into this natural circumstance
- 00:19:10.510 --> 00:19:11.911
- Into this natural circumstance here on earth.
- 00:19:11.978 --> 00:19:12.812
- Here on earth. and what you could not do,
- 00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:14.113
- And what you could not do, you now can do.
- 00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:15.281
- You now can do. and who you could not be,
- 00:19:15.348 --> 00:19:16.382
- And who you could not be, you now can be.
- 00:19:16.449 --> 00:19:17.684
- You now can be. and what you needed,
- 00:19:17.750 --> 00:19:18.651
- And what you needed, you now receive.
- 00:19:18.718 --> 00:19:19.652
- You now receive. why?
- 00:19:19.719 --> 00:19:20.153
- Why? because when jesus shows up
- 00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:22.155
- Because when jesus shows up and his power moves in,
- 00:19:22.222 --> 00:19:23.723
- And his power moves in, what you bind on earth,
- 00:19:23.790 --> 00:19:25.558
- What you bind on earth, he'll bind in heaven.
- 00:19:25.625 --> 00:19:26.926
- He'll bind in heaven. what you loose on earth,
- 00:19:26.993 --> 00:19:28.561
- What you loose on earth, he'll loose in heaven.
- 00:19:28.628 --> 00:19:29.862
- He'll loose in heaven. he's given you the keys to
- 00:19:29.929 --> 00:19:31.497
- He's given you the keys to death, hell and the grave,
- 00:19:31.564 --> 00:19:33.032
- Death, hell and the grave, to joy, to peace,
- 00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:34.234
- To joy, to peace, and to victory.
- 00:19:34.300 --> 00:19:35.301
- And to victory. why?
- 00:19:35.368 --> 00:19:35.935
- Why? because he is king above kings
- 00:19:36.002 --> 00:19:37.637
- Because he is king above kings and he's lord above lords!
- 00:19:37.704 --> 00:19:39.439
- And he's lord above lords! call upon him,
- 00:19:39.505 --> 00:19:40.840
- Call upon him, in jesus' name!
- 00:19:40.907 --> 00:19:42.942
- In jesus' name! (applause)
- 00:19:43.009 --> 00:19:47.313
- (applause) bartimaeus answers
- 00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:48.514
- Bartimaeus answers the question.
- 00:19:48.581 --> 00:19:49.082
- The question. he says,
- 00:19:49.148 --> 00:19:49.849
- He says, "that i may receive my sight."
- 00:19:49.916 --> 00:19:55.888
- "that i may receive my sight." now this is not just
- 00:19:55.955 --> 00:19:56.723
- Now this is not just any request.
- 00:19:56.789 --> 00:20:00.727
- Any request. bartimaeus is saying,
- 00:20:00.793 --> 00:20:01.828
- Bartimaeus is saying, this one issue is the thing
- 00:20:01.894 --> 00:20:04.364
- This one issue is the thing that keeps me from everything.
- 00:20:04.430 --> 00:20:07.734
- That keeps me from everything. i'm broke and i have to beg
- 00:20:07.800 --> 00:20:09.969
- I'm broke and i have to beg because i can't see.
- 00:20:10.036 --> 00:20:11.371
- Because i can't see. and because i can't see,
- 00:20:11.437 --> 00:20:12.438
- And because i can't see, i can't work.
- 00:20:12.505 --> 00:20:13.106
- I can't work. if i get my sight back,
- 00:20:13.172 --> 00:20:14.207
- If i get my sight back, i can go to work.
- 00:20:14.274 --> 00:20:17.810
- I can go to work. i have no normal
- 00:20:17.877 --> 00:20:18.611
- I have no normal relationships,
- 00:20:18.678 --> 00:20:19.479
- Relationships, because everybody sees me
- 00:20:19.545 --> 00:20:21.147
- Because everybody sees me as the guy who's always
- 00:20:21.214 --> 00:20:22.081
- As the guy who's always asking for a handout.
- 00:20:22.148 --> 00:20:23.583
- Asking for a handout. i don't have any real friends.
- 00:20:23.650 --> 00:20:24.951
- I don't have any real friends. i just have people that come
- 00:20:25.018 --> 00:20:26.352
- I just have people that come in and they steal from me
- 00:20:26.419 --> 00:20:27.854
- In and they steal from me whenever we're counting
- 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:28.788
- Whenever we're counting the coins,
- 00:20:28.855 --> 00:20:29.322
- The coins, because i can't see how many
- 00:20:29.389 --> 00:20:30.390
- Because i can't see how many coins i've got.
- 00:20:30.456 --> 00:20:31.190
- Coins i've got. they just take what they want
- 00:20:31.257 --> 00:20:32.492
- They just take what they want and leave me the rest.
- 00:20:32.558 --> 00:20:36.729
- And leave me the rest. not only do i have
- 00:20:36.796 --> 00:20:37.864
- Not only do i have social problems
- 00:20:37.930 --> 00:20:38.665
- Social problems and financial problems
- 00:20:38.731 --> 00:20:39.832
- And financial problems because of this problem,
- 00:20:39.899 --> 00:20:41.100
- Because of this problem, but i've got
- 00:20:41.167 --> 00:20:41.534
- But i've got a spiritual problem,
- 00:20:41.601 --> 00:20:42.602
- A spiritual problem, because back in leviticus 21,
- 00:20:42.669 --> 00:20:44.904
- Because back in leviticus 21, god told moses that there's
- 00:20:44.971 --> 00:20:46.072
- God told moses that there's a list of people who cannot go
- 00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:47.674
- A list of people who cannot go into the temple.
- 00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:50.677
- Into the temple. there's a list of people
- 00:20:50.743 --> 00:20:51.611
- There's a list of people who cannot bring bread
- 00:20:51.678 --> 00:20:53.313
- Who cannot bring bread to the lord.
- 00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:53.913
- To the lord. there's a list of people
- 00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:54.714
- There's a list of people who cannot sacrifice like
- 00:20:54.781 --> 00:20:56.249
- Who cannot sacrifice like normal people,
- 00:20:56.316 --> 00:20:57.116
- Normal people, and the blind are on
- 00:20:57.183 --> 00:20:58.584
- And the blind are on that list.
- 00:20:58.651 --> 00:21:01.788
- That list. bartimaeus is asking jesus;
- 00:21:01.854 --> 00:21:03.222
- Bartimaeus is asking jesus; i don't want you to do
- 00:21:03.289 --> 00:21:03.990
- I don't want you to do something for me,
- 00:21:04.057 --> 00:21:05.325
- Something for me, because if you do something
- 00:21:05.391 --> 00:21:06.326
- Because if you do something for me,
- 00:21:06.392 --> 00:21:06.893
- For me, that'll change one thing.
- 00:21:06.959 --> 00:21:08.027
- That'll change one thing. but if you do something in me,
- 00:21:08.094 --> 00:21:09.862
- But if you do something in me, it changes everything.
- 00:21:09.929 --> 00:21:11.531
- It changes everything. [amen.]
- 00:21:11.597 --> 00:21:12.732
- [amen.] [amen.]
- 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.866
- [amen.] if i receive my sight,
- 00:21:13.933 --> 00:21:17.003
- If i receive my sight, i can follow you.
- 00:21:17.070 --> 00:21:18.538
- I can follow you. [yes.]
- 00:21:18.604 --> 00:21:19.339
- [yes.] if i receive my sight,
- 00:21:19.405 --> 00:21:20.606
- If i receive my sight, i can go where you go.
- 00:21:20.673 --> 00:21:22.909
- I can go where you go. i can walk into the temple
- 00:21:22.975 --> 00:21:24.544
- I can walk into the temple the same way you do.
- 00:21:24.610 --> 00:21:25.945
- The same way you do. i can sacrifice with the joy
- 00:21:26.012 --> 00:21:28.047
- I can sacrifice with the joy of the lord as my strength.
- 00:21:28.114 --> 00:21:29.449
- Of the lord as my strength. if i receive my sight,
- 00:21:29.515 --> 00:21:30.950
- If i receive my sight, i can be useful.
- 00:21:31.017 --> 00:21:32.018
- I can be useful. if i receive my sight,
- 00:21:32.085 --> 00:21:33.419
- If i receive my sight, i can serve you.
- 00:21:33.486 --> 00:21:34.520
- I can serve you. lord, i don't want you to do
- 00:21:34.587 --> 00:21:35.688
- Lord, i don't want you to do something for me today.
- 00:21:35.755 --> 00:21:37.290
- Something for me today. i need you to do something
- 00:21:37.357 --> 00:21:38.491
- I need you to do something in me today.
- 00:21:38.558 --> 00:21:39.392
- In me today. and when you do,
- 00:21:39.459 --> 00:21:40.526
- And when you do, change everything.
- 00:21:40.593 --> 00:21:43.029
- Change everything. sometimes i think we come to
- 00:21:43.096 --> 00:21:44.030
- Sometimes i think we come to god in prayer and we don't ask
- 00:21:44.097 --> 00:21:46.165
- God in prayer and we don't ask for the right thing.
- 00:21:46.232 --> 00:21:48.835
- For the right thing. we ask him to do something
- 00:21:48.901 --> 00:21:50.036
- We ask him to do something simple.
- 00:21:50.103 --> 00:21:50.703
- Simple. and what he wants to do
- 00:21:50.770 --> 00:21:51.738
- And what he wants to do is change everything.
- 00:21:51.804 --> 00:21:54.874
- Is change everything. you can have that same
- 00:21:54.941 --> 00:21:55.775
- You can have that same experience today if you'll
- 00:21:55.842 --> 00:21:58.211
- Experience today if you'll do what bartimaeus did,
- 00:21:58.277 --> 00:22:00.480
- Do what bartimaeus did, open your mouth and ask.
- 00:22:00.546 --> 00:22:03.583
- Open your mouth and ask. [amen.]
- 00:22:03.649 --> 00:22:04.283
- [amen.] for jesus said in matthew 7,
- 00:22:04.350 --> 00:22:06.386
- For jesus said in matthew 7, "ask, and you shall receive;
- 00:22:06.452 --> 00:22:10.490
- "ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find;
- 00:22:10.556 --> 00:22:13.393
- Seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be
- 00:22:13.459 --> 00:22:15.528
- Knock, and the door shall be opened."
- 00:22:15.595 --> 00:22:17.597
- Opened." and then my favorite part of
- 00:22:17.663 --> 00:22:18.564
- And then my favorite part of that passage is this;
- 00:22:18.631 --> 00:22:20.466
- That passage is this; it says, "for everyone --"
- 00:22:20.533 --> 00:22:22.268
- It says, "for everyone --" say that with me.
- 00:22:22.335 --> 00:22:23.236
- Say that with me. "for everyone."
- 00:22:23.302 --> 00:22:25.538
- "for everyone." "everyone who asks."
- 00:22:25.605 --> 00:22:28.374
- "everyone who asks." when the blind ask,
- 00:22:28.441 --> 00:22:30.076
- When the blind ask, when the broken ask,
- 00:22:30.143 --> 00:22:31.711
- When the broken ask, when the bound ask,
- 00:22:31.778 --> 00:22:33.346
- When the bound ask, when the lowly ask,
- 00:22:33.413 --> 00:22:35.047
- When the lowly ask, when the lost asks,
- 00:22:35.114 --> 00:22:36.783
- When the lost asks, when the sinner asks,
- 00:22:36.849 --> 00:22:38.618
- When the sinner asks, it doesn't matter who you are.
- 00:22:38.684 --> 00:22:40.119
- It doesn't matter who you are. "when you ask,
- 00:22:40.186 --> 00:22:41.487
- "when you ask, you shall receive."
- 00:22:41.554 --> 00:22:43.222
- You shall receive." [yes.]
- 00:22:43.289 --> 00:22:43.756
- [yes.] "when you seek him,
- 00:22:43.823 --> 00:22:44.690
- "when you seek him, you will find him.
- 00:22:44.757 --> 00:22:45.992
- You will find him. whenever you knock,
- 00:22:46.058 --> 00:22:47.427
- Whenever you knock, the door will be opened,"
- 00:22:47.493 --> 00:22:49.128
- The door will be opened," [yes.]
- 00:22:49.195 --> 00:22:50.163
- [yes.] because god wants to hear
- 00:22:50.229 --> 00:22:52.398
- Because god wants to hear from you.
- 00:22:52.465 --> 00:22:53.533
- From you. [yes.]
- 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:54.133
- [yes.] jesus told the men who were
- 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:55.601

- Seeking and finding; he said,
- 00:22:59.305 --> 00:22:59.806
- He said, "if you, being evil,
- 00:22:59.872 --> 00:23:02.508
- "if you, being evil, want to and know how to give
- 00:23:02.575 --> 00:23:04.510
- Want to and know how to give good things to your children,
- 00:23:04.577 --> 00:23:07.447
- Good things to your children, how much more will god

- How much more will god your father in heaven
- 00:23:10.349 --> 00:23:12.385
- Your father in heaven give to those who ask him."
