00:00:15.276 --> 00:00:15.910
Of you know what it's like to have to do something?
00:00:15.976 --> 00:00:18.446
To have to do something? (laughter)
00:00:18.512 --> 00:00:20.281
(laughter) you have to pay taxes; right?
00:00:20.347 --> 00:00:23.617
You have to pay taxes; right? (laughter)
00:00:23.684 --> 00:00:24.552
(laughter) the mindset of a watchman
00:00:24.618 --> 00:00:25.586
The mindset of a watchman cannot be a "have to" mindset.
00:00:25.653 --> 00:00:27.655
Cannot be a "have to" mindset. the mindset of a watchman has
00:00:27.721 --> 00:00:28.889
The mindset of a watchman has got to be a "get to" mindset
00:00:28.956 --> 00:00:33.060
Got to be a "get to" mindset where you consider it your
00:00:33.127 --> 00:00:34.195
Where you consider it your privilege that you get to serve
00:00:34.261 --> 00:00:36.797
Privilege that you get to serve as a watchman
00:00:36.864 --> 00:00:37.698
As a watchman in this generation.
00:00:37.765 --> 00:00:39.066
In this generation. you get to be a watchman
00:00:39.133 --> 00:00:40.768
You get to be a watchman over your family.
00:00:40.835 --> 00:00:41.869
Over your family. you get to be a watchman
00:00:41.936 --> 00:00:43.504
You get to be a watchman over your business.
00:00:43.571 --> 00:00:44.438
Over your business. you get to be a watchman
00:00:44.505 --> 00:00:46.974
You get to be a watchman over the things that you love
00:00:47.041 --> 00:00:48.409
Over the things that you love and the things that you want
00:00:48.476 --> 00:00:49.477
And the things that you want to protect.
00:00:49.543 --> 00:00:51.245
To protect. because with watchmen,
00:00:51.312 --> 00:00:52.546
Because with watchmen, if they have a "have to"
00:00:52.613 --> 00:00:53.747
If they have a "have to" attitude,
00:00:53.814 --> 00:00:54.515
Attitude, on days when it's 105
00:00:54.582 --> 00:00:56.217
On days when it's 105 in the middle of the summer
00:00:56.283 --> 00:00:57.384
In the middle of the summer and they're looking out over
00:00:57.451 --> 00:00:58.352
And they're looking out over the sands of the desert,
00:00:58.419 --> 00:00:59.687
The sands of the desert, they might stare more at those
00:00:59.753 --> 00:01:01.255
They might stare more at those sitting in the shade,
00:01:01.322 --> 00:01:02.389
Sitting in the shade, and wonder why they can't
00:01:02.456 --> 00:01:03.624
And wonder why they can't sit down like those,
00:01:03.691 --> 00:01:05.192
Sit down like those, instead of saying,
00:01:05.259 --> 00:01:06.026
Instead of saying, "i get to serve and no one
00:01:06.093 --> 00:01:08.162
"i get to serve and no one will be harmed,
00:01:08.229 --> 00:01:09.063
Will be harmed, not on my watch."
00:01:09.130 --> 00:01:11.765
Not on my watch." or if they're standing
00:01:11.832 --> 00:01:12.466
Or if they're standing in the debt of winter
00:01:12.533 --> 00:01:13.801
In the debt of winter and it's the cold air
00:01:13.868 --> 00:01:14.902
And it's the cold air that's blowing,
00:01:14.969 --> 00:01:15.636
That's blowing, and they're shivering cold
00:01:15.703 --> 00:01:16.937
And they're shivering cold while others are is sleeping
00:01:17.004 --> 00:01:17.972
While others are is sleeping next to the warm fire
00:01:18.038 --> 00:01:19.106
Next to the warm fire in their house.
00:01:19.173 --> 00:01:20.074
In their house. a watchman has to say,
00:01:20.141 --> 00:01:21.275
A watchman has to say, "i get to serve while others
00:01:21.342 --> 00:01:23.544
"i get to serve while others are sleeping in peace."
00:01:23.611 --> 00:01:26.914
Are sleeping in peace." we have to have a mindset
00:01:26.981 --> 00:01:28.249
We have to have a mindset that recognizes the role
00:01:28.315 --> 00:01:29.717
That recognizes the role and responsibility that god
00:01:29.783 --> 00:01:31.118
And responsibility that god has given to us play.
00:01:31.185 --> 00:01:32.353
Has given to us play. it's too important for us to
00:01:32.419 --> 00:01:33.954
It's too important for us to forfeit who we are and not do
00:01:34.021 --> 00:01:36.323
Forfeit who we are and not do what god has required us to do.
00:01:36.390 --> 00:01:39.360
What god has required us to do. so the question is,
00:01:39.426 --> 00:01:41.495
So the question is, "where do you look in the day
00:01:41.562 --> 00:01:43.731
"where do you look in the day of trouble?"
00:01:43.797 --> 00:01:45.399
Of trouble?" when you read psalm 121,
00:01:45.466 --> 00:01:47.935
When you read psalm 121, there are two different
00:01:48.002 --> 00:01:49.270
There are two different speakers in the psalm.
00:01:49.336 --> 00:01:52.573
Speakers in the psalm. it's the same person,
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.208
It's the same person, but he's got two different
00:01:54.275 --> 00:01:55.409
But he's got two different mindsets as the psalm
00:01:55.476 --> 00:01:57.344
Mindsets as the psalm progresses.
00:01:57.411 --> 00:01:59.313
Progresses. have you ever started
00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:00.381
Have you ever started a conversation with yourself,
00:02:00.447 --> 00:02:02.283
A conversation with yourself, and then in the midst of
00:02:02.349 --> 00:02:03.050
And then in the midst of the conversation you were
00:02:03.117 --> 00:02:03.918
The conversation you were having with yourself,
00:02:03.984 --> 00:02:04.919
Having with yourself, became a different person
00:02:04.985 --> 00:02:05.953
Became a different person while you were talking?
00:02:06.020 --> 00:02:07.588
While you were talking? (laughter)
00:02:07.655 --> 00:02:09.390
(laughter) believe me; it's normal.
00:02:09.456 --> 00:02:11.492
Believe me; it's normal. (laughter)
00:02:11.559 --> 00:02:14.361
(laughter) the first person asks
00:02:14.428 --> 00:02:16.096
The first person asks a question.
00:02:16.163 --> 00:02:17.998
A question. the second person declares
00:02:18.065 --> 00:02:20.334
The second person declares a truth.
00:02:20.401 --> 00:02:22.036
A truth. the first person wants to know;
00:02:22.102 --> 00:02:23.504
The first person wants to know; where is my help coming from?
00:02:23.571 --> 00:02:25.439
Where is my help coming from? the second person knows exactly
00:02:25.506 --> 00:02:27.541
The second person knows exactly who to turn to in a day
00:02:27.608 --> 00:02:28.976
Who to turn to in a day of trouble.
00:02:29.043 --> 00:02:30.744
Of trouble. it's the same person.
00:02:30.811 --> 00:02:32.079
It's the same person. the difference is not
00:02:32.146 --> 00:02:33.314
The difference is not who the individual is.
00:02:33.380 --> 00:02:34.415
Who the individual is. the difference is he was
00:02:34.481 --> 00:02:35.382
The difference is he was reminded of something whenever
00:02:35.449 --> 00:02:37.084
Reminded of something whenever he realized that troubled times
00:02:37.151 --> 00:02:38.886
He realized that troubled times had come.
00:02:38.953 --> 00:02:41.689
Had come. you see king hezekiah
00:02:41.755 --> 00:02:43.157
You see king hezekiah in jerusalem was living
00:02:43.224 --> 00:02:45.226
In jerusalem was living in troubled times.
00:02:45.292 --> 00:02:47.995
In troubled times. king hezekiah had been
00:02:48.062 --> 00:02:49.096
King hezekiah had been a good king.
00:02:49.163 --> 00:02:50.698
A good king. when he came to power,
00:02:50.764 --> 00:02:51.599
When he came to power, he tore down all of the pagan
00:02:51.665 --> 00:02:53.033
He tore down all of the pagan altars to the false gods
00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:55.336
Altars to the false gods that the children of israel
00:02:55.402 --> 00:02:56.437
That the children of israel were worshiping.
00:02:56.503 --> 00:02:57.871
Were worshiping. he reinstated the sabbath.
00:02:57.938 --> 00:02:59.273
He reinstated the sabbath. the reinstated the reading of
00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:00.641
The reinstated the reading of the torah and the word of god.
00:03:00.708 --> 00:03:02.209
The torah and the word of god. you would have thought,
00:03:02.276 --> 00:03:03.077
You would have thought, for all of his good deeds,
00:03:03.143 --> 00:03:04.478
For all of his good deeds, god would have given him
00:03:04.545 --> 00:03:05.412
God would have given him a little bit of time off.
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.048
A little bit of time off. have you ever thought that the
00:03:08.115 --> 00:03:09.016
Have you ever thought that the things you did here on earth
00:03:09.083 --> 00:03:10.217
Things you did here on earth bought you good graces
00:03:10.284 --> 00:03:11.252
Bought you good graces up in heaven?
00:03:11.318 --> 00:03:12.953
Up in heaven? i mean i've been so good
00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:13.821
I mean i've been so good for the last six months;
00:03:13.887 --> 00:03:14.755
For the last six months; god's going to give me
00:03:14.822 --> 00:03:15.522
God's going to give me the next 30 days free.
00:03:15.589 --> 00:03:17.958
The next 30 days free. (laughter)
00:03:18.025 --> 00:03:19.260
(laughter) that's not how it works.
00:03:19.326 --> 00:03:22.963
That's not how it works. hezekiah has ruled and been
00:03:23.030 --> 00:03:24.932
Hezekiah has ruled and been a righteous king.
00:03:24.999 --> 00:03:25.966
A righteous king. and he hears that the assyrian
00:03:26.033 --> 00:03:27.935
And he hears that the assyrian army under the leadership
00:03:28.002 --> 00:03:29.136
Army under the leadership of sennacherib is coming
00:03:29.203 --> 00:03:30.738
Of sennacherib is coming to siege jerusalem.
00:03:30.804 --> 00:03:33.907
To siege jerusalem. a hundred and eighty thousand
00:03:33.974 --> 00:03:35.376
A hundred and eighty thousand warriors have been walking
00:03:35.442 --> 00:03:37.077
Warriors have been walking across the known world,
00:03:37.144 --> 00:03:38.746
Across the known world, spreading like a virus.
00:03:38.812 --> 00:03:42.349
Spreading like a virus. it paints a different picture
00:03:42.416 --> 00:03:43.350
It paints a different picture today; don't it?
00:03:43.417 --> 00:03:45.986
Today; don't it? they've murdered tens
00:03:46.053 --> 00:03:47.121
They've murdered tens of thousands of people.
00:03:47.187 --> 00:03:48.188
Of thousands of people. they've tortured hundreds
00:03:48.255 --> 00:03:49.323
They've tortured hundreds of thousands of people.
00:03:49.390 --> 00:03:50.357
Of thousands of people. they've burned and pillaged
00:03:50.424 --> 00:03:51.959
They've burned and pillaged and sieged cities.
00:03:52.026 --> 00:03:53.627
And sieged cities. and they're coming
00:03:53.694 --> 00:03:54.695
And they're coming for jerusalem.
00:03:54.762 --> 00:03:58.699
For jerusalem. every child in jerusalem
00:03:58.766 --> 00:04:00.567
Every child in jerusalem is stricken with fear when they
00:04:00.634 --> 00:04:01.869
Is stricken with fear when they hear the word "sennacherib"
00:04:01.935 --> 00:04:03.704
Hear the word "sennacherib" spoken,
00:04:03.771 --> 00:04:04.238
Spoken, because they know that it means
00:04:04.305 --> 00:04:05.506
Because they know that it means the most vicious and violent
00:04:05.572 --> 00:04:07.007
The most vicious and violent destruction that you could ask
00:04:07.074 --> 00:04:08.642
Destruction that you could ask or think.
00:04:08.709 --> 00:04:11.045
Or think. but rather than peace
00:04:11.111 --> 00:04:11.779
But rather than peace and prosperity,
00:04:11.845 --> 00:04:13.647
And prosperity, hezekiah says,
00:04:13.714 --> 00:04:14.848
Hezekiah says, "shall i look to the hills?"
00:04:14.915 --> 00:04:17.751
"shall i look to the hills?" can i look to the mountains
00:04:17.818 --> 00:04:18.986
Can i look to the mountains where i played as a child?
00:04:19.053 --> 00:04:21.121
Where i played as a child? can i look to the hills that
00:04:21.188 --> 00:04:22.589
Can i look to the hills that surround the city of jerusalem?
00:04:22.656 --> 00:04:24.224
Surround the city of jerusalem? can i look to the things of
00:04:24.291 --> 00:04:25.392
Can i look to the things of this earth and find anything
00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:27.194
This earth and find anything that will help me?
00:04:27.261 --> 00:04:30.364
That will help me? and he couldn't,
00:04:30.431 --> 00:04:32.800
And he couldn't, because the places that he was
00:04:32.866 --> 00:04:33.867
Because the places that he was familiar with in his childhood
00:04:33.934 --> 00:04:35.769
Familiar with in his childhood are now covered with 180,000
00:04:35.836 --> 00:04:38.572
Are now covered with 180,000 men of war who want him dead.
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.842
Men of war who want him dead. it's a very literal question,
00:04:41.909 --> 00:04:43.677
It's a very literal question, because the city of jerusalem
00:04:43.744 --> 00:04:45.112
Because the city of jerusalem sits at 2550 feet above
00:04:45.179 --> 00:04:48.215
Sits at 2550 feet above sea level.
00:04:48.282 --> 00:04:50.317
Sea level. just a few miles below it
00:04:50.384 --> 00:04:52.319
Just a few miles below it is the dead sea,
00:04:52.386 --> 00:04:53.420
Is the dead sea, 3800 feet below sea level,
00:04:53.487 --> 00:04:56.623
3800 feet below sea level, a significant transition
00:04:56.690 --> 00:04:58.759
A significant transition in the topography there.
00:04:58.826 --> 00:05:00.160
In the topography there. and right in the middle
00:05:00.227 --> 00:05:00.994
And right in the middle of the mountain range
00:05:01.061 --> 00:05:01.995
Of the mountain range is jerusalem.
00:05:02.062 --> 00:05:02.930
Is jerusalem. surrounding it,
00:05:02.996 --> 00:05:03.731
Surrounding it, north, east, and west,
00:05:03.797 --> 00:05:05.132
North, east, and west, is the mount of olives,
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.166
Is the mount of olives, mount zion,
00:05:06.233 --> 00:05:06.967
Mount zion, and mount scopus.
00:05:07.034 --> 00:05:09.203
And mount scopus. and hezekiah,
00:05:09.269 --> 00:05:09.970
And hezekiah, the king of the city,
00:05:10.037 --> 00:05:11.038
The king of the city, is looking all around him.
00:05:11.105 --> 00:05:12.539
Is looking all around him. and everywhere he looks,
00:05:12.606 --> 00:05:13.807
And everywhere he looks, he sees the campfires
00:05:13.874 --> 00:05:15.209
He sees the campfires of warriors,
00:05:15.275 --> 00:05:16.043
Of warriors, who are waiting for the day
00:05:16.110 --> 00:05:17.311
Who are waiting for the day that they can breach the wall
00:05:17.378 --> 00:05:19.046
That they can breach the wall and come and take him.
00:05:19.113 --> 00:05:22.149
And come and take him. the places where he played
00:05:22.216 --> 00:05:23.117
The places where he played as a child have now become
00:05:23.183 --> 00:05:24.351
As a child have now become the terrifying forecast
00:05:24.418 --> 00:05:26.253
The terrifying forecast of his future.
00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:28.622
Of his future. and in verse 1, he says,
00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:30.357
And in verse 1, he says, "shall i lift up my eyes
00:05:30.424 --> 00:05:31.759
"shall i lift up my eyes to the hills?
00:05:31.825 --> 00:05:33.060
To the hills? where is my help?"
00:05:33.127 --> 00:05:37.364
Where is my help?" and suddenly,
00:05:37.431 --> 00:05:38.899
And suddenly, a watchman
00:05:38.966 --> 00:05:40.434
A watchman walks into the throne room,
00:05:40.501 --> 00:05:43.170
Walks into the throne room, by the name of isaiah,
00:05:43.237 --> 00:05:45.773
By the name of isaiah, a prophet of god
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.041
A prophet of god sent with a word from heaven.
00:05:48.108 --> 00:05:50.811
Sent with a word from heaven. and he speaks to king hezekiah,
00:05:50.878 --> 00:05:52.646
And he speaks to king hezekiah, and he changes hezekiah's
00:05:52.713 --> 00:05:54.081
And he changes hezekiah's perspective.
00:05:54.148 --> 00:05:55.716
Perspective. he makes hezekiah stop looking
00:05:55.783 --> 00:05:57.618
He makes hezekiah stop looking to the things of this world
00:05:57.684 --> 00:05:58.752
To the things of this world and start looking to the things
00:05:58.819 --> 00:05:59.953
And start looking to the things above.
00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:01.054
Above. he let's hezekiah know,
00:06:01.121 --> 00:06:02.256
He let's hezekiah know, if you want to find help,
00:06:02.322 --> 00:06:03.424
If you want to find help, don't look to the hills;
00:06:03.490 --> 00:06:04.358
Don't look to the hills; look to the god who holds
00:06:04.425 --> 00:06:05.726
Look to the god who holds the hills in the palm
00:06:05.793 --> 00:06:07.227
The hills in the palm of his hand.
00:06:07.294 --> 00:06:08.996
Of his hand. you see sometimes it's
00:06:09.062 --> 00:06:09.830
You see sometimes it's wonderful when a watchman
00:06:09.897 --> 00:06:11.231
Wonderful when a watchman will look out and see danger,
00:06:11.298 --> 00:06:12.599
Will look out and see danger, and give you warning.
00:06:12.666 --> 00:06:13.634
And give you warning. but it's even better when
00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:14.668
But it's even better when a watchman doesn't point
00:06:14.735 --> 00:06:15.869
A watchman doesn't point to danger,
00:06:15.936 --> 00:06:16.603
To danger, but a watchman points
00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:17.604
But a watchman points to a savior.
00:06:17.671 --> 00:06:19.540
To a savior. [amen!]

Of the greatest chapters in all of the bible,
00:06:33.387 --> 00:06:34.321
In all of the bible, isaiah 40 is a great place
00:06:34.388 --> 00:06:35.856
Isaiah 40 is a great place to start.
00:06:35.923 --> 00:06:37.124
To start. think about it.
00:06:37.191 --> 00:06:37.758
Think about it. the prophet walks into
00:06:37.825 --> 00:06:38.725
The prophet walks into the king's throne room,
00:06:38.792 --> 00:06:39.626
The king's throne room, and he looks at hezekiah,
00:06:39.693 --> 00:06:40.861
And he looks at hezekiah, who's waiting for war.
00:06:40.928 --> 00:06:42.196
Who's waiting for war. and here's what isaiah says;
00:06:42.262 --> 00:06:43.897
And here's what isaiah says; he says,

"speak comfort to jerusalem. tell her that her warfare
00:06:47.868 --> 00:06:49.503
Tell her that her warfare has ended."
00:06:49.570 --> 00:06:51.171
Has ended." what?
00:06:51.238 --> 00:06:52.272
What? the fight hasn't even started.
00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:53.540
The fight hasn't even started. what do you mean it's ended?
00:06:53.607 --> 00:06:55.075
What do you mean it's ended? it's over when god says
00:06:55.142 --> 00:06:56.777
It's over when god says it's over.
00:06:56.844 --> 00:06:58.145
It's over. [amen!]
00:06:58.212 --> 00:06:58.846
[amen!] the prophet continues,
00:06:58.912 --> 00:06:59.880
The prophet continues, "don't doubt my word,
00:06:59.947 --> 00:07:01.048
"don't doubt my word, because the grass may wither
00:07:01.114 --> 00:07:02.349
Because the grass may wither and the flower may fade,
00:07:02.416 --> 00:07:03.484
And the flower may fade, but the word of the lord
00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:05.686
But the word of the lord endures forever."
00:07:05.752 --> 00:07:07.754
Endures forever." he continues, "behold,
00:07:07.821 --> 00:07:09.156
He continues, "behold, the lord shall come with a

Strong hand...and his reward is with him."

Your detriment. the prophet continues.
00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:24.605
The prophet continues. he says,
00:07:24.671 --> 00:07:24.972
He says, "what kind of god is this?

Who measured the waters in the hollow of his hand."

In a scale and the hills in a balance."

In a balance." he continues, "behold,

A drop in the bucket to him." have you not known?

Have you not known? have you not heard?
00:07:51.498 --> 00:07:52.900
Have you not heard? has it not been told to you
00:07:52.966 --> 00:07:54.635

A question, "where does my help come from?"

On earth. [amen!]
00:12:06.853 --> 00:12:07.754
[amen!] hezekiah goes from asking
00:12:07.821 --> 00:12:08.989
Hezekiah goes from asking the question,
00:12:09.055 --> 00:12:09.556
The question, "where is my help coming from?"
00:12:09.623 --> 00:12:11.057
"where is my help coming from?" and he begins declaring,
00:12:11.124 --> 00:12:12.292
And he begins declaring, "the lord is my keeper.
00:12:12.359 --> 00:12:15.028
"the lord is my keeper. the lord is my shade."
00:12:15.095 --> 00:12:16.897
The lord is my shade." the lord is my helper.
00:12:16.963 --> 00:12:20.500
The lord is my helper. and with this,
00:12:20.567 --> 00:12:22.469
And with this, he tells us exactly what god
00:12:22.536 --> 00:12:23.804
He tells us exactly what god helps us with.
00:12:23.870 --> 00:12:26.106
Helps us with. the first thing that hezekiah
00:12:26.173 --> 00:12:27.174
The first thing that hezekiah says is that god helps you
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.342
Says is that god helps you with your confidence.
00:12:29.409 --> 00:12:31.845
With your confidence. hezekiah says the lord will not
00:12:31.912 --> 00:12:34.514
Hezekiah says the lord will not allow my foot to be moved.
00:12:34.581 --> 00:12:37.818
Allow my foot to be moved. that's confidence.
00:12:37.884 --> 00:12:39.653
That's confidence. why?
00:12:39.719 --> 00:12:40.887
Why? hezekiah's a leader.
00:12:40.954 --> 00:12:43.056
Hezekiah's a leader. hezekiah is the king.
00:12:43.123 --> 00:12:44.257
Hezekiah is the king. here comes sennacherib
00:12:44.324 --> 00:12:45.158
Here comes sennacherib with 180,000 warriors.
00:12:45.225 --> 00:12:48.128
With 180,000 warriors. and people in the kingdom,
00:12:48.195 --> 00:12:48.962
And people in the kingdom, "king, what do you want to do?"
00:12:49.029 --> 00:12:51.331
"king, what do you want to do?" political counselors
00:12:51.398 --> 00:12:52.265
Political counselors have come in and said,
00:12:52.332 --> 00:12:52.999
Have come in and said, i think the best thing for you
00:12:53.066 --> 00:12:54.067
I think the best thing for you to do is to compromise
00:12:54.134 --> 00:12:55.535
To do is to compromise with sennacherib.
00:12:55.602 --> 00:12:56.303
With sennacherib. why don't we reach out to him
00:12:56.369 --> 00:12:57.337
Why don't we reach out to him and make a truce?
00:12:57.404 --> 00:12:58.305
And make a truce? why don't we see if he can
00:12:58.371 --> 00:13:00.140
Why don't we see if he can allow us to be a part of
00:13:00.207 --> 00:13:01.575
Allow us to be a part of his regime,
00:13:01.641 --> 00:13:02.375
His regime, and that way he doesn't destroy
00:13:02.442 --> 00:13:03.610
And that way he doesn't destroy us totally?
00:13:03.677 --> 00:13:04.544
Us totally? hezekiah says,
00:13:04.611 --> 00:13:05.111
Hezekiah says, we're not going to do that.
00:13:05.178 --> 00:13:07.380
We're not going to do that. others say,
00:13:07.447 --> 00:13:07.814
Others say, king, what are we going to do?
00:13:07.881 --> 00:13:09.049
King, what are we going to do? hezekiah makes a decision.
00:13:09.115 --> 00:13:10.383
Hezekiah makes a decision. he said,
00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:10.884
He said, either this is the city of god
00:13:10.951 --> 00:13:12.686
Either this is the city of god and god will protect it
00:13:12.752 --> 00:13:13.954
And god will protect it or it's not.
00:13:14.020 --> 00:13:16.089
Or it's not. and so he puts his foot down,
00:13:16.156 --> 00:13:18.825
And so he puts his foot down, we will not forfeit;
00:13:18.892 --> 00:13:21.061
We will not forfeit; we will fight.
00:13:21.127 --> 00:13:23.363
We will fight. we don't have enough to fight
00:13:23.430 --> 00:13:24.898
We don't have enough to fight sennacherib, hezekiah.
00:13:24.965 --> 00:13:26.266
Sennacherib, hezekiah. if you fight him,
00:13:26.333 --> 00:13:27.000
If you fight him, you're going to kill us all,
00:13:27.067 --> 00:13:28.001
You're going to kill us all, you fool.
00:13:28.068 --> 00:13:29.669
You fool. we're not giving in.
00:13:29.736 --> 00:13:32.706
We're not giving in. when you take a stand,
00:13:32.772 --> 00:13:34.808
When you take a stand, when you put your foot down
00:13:34.875 --> 00:13:36.810
When you put your foot down upon god's word,
00:13:36.877 --> 00:13:38.078
Upon god's word, when you take a stand upon
00:13:38.144 --> 00:13:39.579
When you take a stand upon his promises,
00:13:39.646 --> 00:13:40.981
His promises, others may doubt you,
00:13:41.047 --> 00:13:42.282
Others may doubt you, but god will not fail you.
00:13:42.349 --> 00:13:44.084
But god will not fail you. others may try
00:13:44.150 --> 00:13:44.851
Others may try to intimidate you,
00:13:44.918 --> 00:13:45.819
To intimidate you, slander you,
00:13:45.886 --> 00:13:46.653
Slander you, accuse you,
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:47.387
Accuse you, destroy you,
00:13:47.454 --> 00:13:48.521
Destroy you, but god will defend you.
00:13:48.588 --> 00:13:50.156
But god will defend you. the earth may shake until
00:13:50.223 --> 00:13:51.758
The earth may shake until the mountains fall and are cast
00:13:51.825 --> 00:13:53.727
The mountains fall and are cast into the midst of the sea,
00:13:53.793 --> 00:13:55.161
Into the midst of the sea, but hezekiah says,
00:13:55.228 --> 00:13:56.963
But hezekiah says, "my foot shall not be moved."
00:13:57.030 --> 00:14:02.936
"my foot shall not be moved." i believe that god is asking
00:14:03.003 --> 00:14:04.204
I believe that god is asking many of you here today
00:14:04.271 --> 00:14:05.238
Many of you here today and thousands of you
00:14:05.305 --> 00:14:06.206
And thousands of you who are watching by television,
00:14:06.273 --> 00:14:07.807
Who are watching by television, "when are you going to take
00:14:07.874 --> 00:14:09.476
"when are you going to take a stand?"
00:14:09.542 --> 00:14:10.911
A stand?" when are you going to put your
00:14:10.977 --> 00:14:12.579
When are you going to put your foot down upon my promises?
00:14:12.646 --> 00:14:15.081
Foot down upon my promises? when are you going to stop
00:14:15.148 --> 00:14:16.716
When are you going to stop letting the enemy have control
00:14:16.783 --> 00:14:18.785
Letting the enemy have control of your promises and your life?
00:14:18.852 --> 00:14:21.021
Of your promises and your life? when are you going to push him
00:14:21.087 --> 00:14:22.722
When are you going to push him out of your family with fasting
00:14:22.789 --> 00:14:24.624
Out of your family with fasting and prayer?
00:14:24.691 --> 00:14:25.358
And prayer? when are you going to take

When are you going to take a stand against the godless
00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:28.128
A stand against the godless evil in our society today
00:14:28.194 --> 00:14:30.130
Evil in our society today when the bible tells us,
00:14:30.196 --> 00:14:31.197
When the bible tells us, "submit to god,
00:14:31.264 --> 00:14:32.198
"submit to god, resist the devil,
00:14:32.265 --> 00:14:33.266
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"?
00:14:33.333 --> 00:14:34.734
And he will flee from you"? when are you going to stand up
00:14:34.801 --> 00:14:36.236
When are you going to stand up for truth in a world
00:14:36.303 --> 00:14:37.604
For truth in a world that is filled with lies?
00:14:37.671 --> 00:14:39.072
That is filled with lies? when are you going to stand
00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:40.273
When are you going to stand upon his promises?
00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:41.775
Upon his promises? when are you going to stand up
00:14:41.841 --> 00:14:43.209
When are you going to stand up for the dreams he's poured
00:14:43.276 --> 00:14:44.411
For the dreams he's poured in your heart?
00:14:44.477 --> 00:14:45.178
In your heart? when are you going to stand up
00:14:45.245 --> 00:14:46.780
When are you going to stand up upon the vision that he's given
00:14:46.846 --> 00:14:48.114
Upon the vision that he's given you?
00:14:48.181 --> 00:14:48.715
You? when are you going to put
00:14:48.782 --> 00:14:49.849
When are you going to put your faith in god?
00:14:49.916 --> 00:14:51.451
Your faith in god? because with faith in god,
00:14:51.518 --> 00:14:52.953
Because with faith in god, all things are possible to them
00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:55.622
All things are possible to them that believe!
00:14:55.689 --> 00:14:58.058
That believe! (applause)
00:14:58.124 --> 00:15:01.161
(applause) why don't most people
00:15:01.227 --> 00:15:01.928
Why don't most people take a stand?
00:15:01.995 --> 00:15:04.364
Take a stand? because most of the time,
00:15:04.431 --> 00:15:05.598
Because most of the time, the first thing that enters
00:15:05.665 --> 00:15:06.633
The first thing that enters our mind after a bold decision
00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:09.402
Our mind after a bold decision is a second thought.
00:15:09.469 --> 00:15:12.472
Is a second thought. i know what i'm going to do
00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:15.008
I know what i'm going to do unless...
00:15:15.075 --> 00:15:16.876
Unless... (laughter)
00:15:16.943 --> 00:15:18.478
(laughter) i've made up my mind.
00:15:18.545 --> 00:15:20.847
I've made up my mind. what do you think?
00:15:20.914 --> 00:15:22.682
What do you think? (laughter)
00:15:22.749 --> 00:15:25.118
(laughter) now i'm not talking about you,
00:15:25.185 --> 00:15:26.152
Now i'm not talking about you, but maybe i'm talking about
00:15:26.219 --> 00:15:26.987
But maybe i'm talking about people you know.
00:15:27.053 --> 00:15:28.788
People you know. (laughter)
00:15:28.855 --> 00:15:30.323
(laughter) and something you need
00:15:30.390 --> 00:15:30.991
And something you need to understand,
00:15:31.057 --> 00:15:33.026
To understand, when you do something for god,
00:15:33.093 --> 00:15:35.362
When you do something for god, second thoughts are not
00:15:35.428 --> 00:15:36.663
Second thoughts are not your best thoughts.
00:15:36.730 --> 00:15:39.432
Your best thoughts. if you can't remember that,
00:15:39.499 --> 00:15:40.767
If you can't remember that, write it down.
00:15:40.834 --> 00:15:42.902
Write it down. when you do something for god,
00:15:42.969 --> 00:15:44.371
When you do something for god, second thoughts are not
00:15:44.437 --> 00:15:45.638
Second thoughts are not your best thoughts.
00:15:45.705 --> 00:15:47.440
Your best thoughts. why?
00:15:47.507 --> 00:15:49.376
Why? because you've asked god,
00:15:49.442 --> 00:15:50.610
Because you've asked god, "reveal to me what i need
00:15:50.677 --> 00:15:52.312
"reveal to me what i need to do."
00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:53.013
To do." and your first thought
00:15:53.079 --> 00:15:54.047
And your first thought is what he's telling you.
00:15:54.114 --> 00:15:55.849
Is what he's telling you. [amen!]
00:15:55.915 --> 00:15:57.017
[amen!] and the more second thoughts
00:15:57.083 --> 00:15:57.951
And the more second thoughts you have,
00:15:58.018 --> 00:15:58.685
You have, the more your reasons begin to
00:15:58.752 --> 00:16:00.553
The more your reasons begin to peel his revelation to pieces.
00:16:00.620 --> 00:16:05.225
Peel his revelation to pieces. when you do something for god,
00:16:05.291 --> 00:16:06.960
When you do something for god, don't hesitate to do it.
00:16:07.027 --> 00:16:08.762
Don't hesitate to do it. the bible says,
00:16:08.828 --> 00:16:09.362
The bible says, when david saw goliath coming,
00:16:09.429 --> 00:16:11.164
When david saw goliath coming, he ran to him.
00:16:11.231 --> 00:16:12.599
He ran to him. why?
00:16:12.665 --> 00:16:12.999
Why? because he knew that god was
00:16:13.066 --> 00:16:14.467
Because he knew that god was going to deliver that enemy
00:16:14.534 --> 00:16:16.002
Going to deliver that enemy into his hand.
00:16:16.069 --> 00:16:17.704
Into his hand. don't hesitate to do something
00:16:17.771 --> 00:16:18.872
Don't hesitate to do something for god,
00:16:18.938 --> 00:16:19.639
For god, but do it according to the word
00:16:19.706 --> 00:16:20.774
But do it according to the word of god.
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:21.307
Of god. do it with all of your heart.
00:16:21.374 --> 00:16:22.475
Do it with all of your heart. do it with all of your soul.
00:16:22.542 --> 00:16:23.710
Do it with all of your soul. do it with all of your mind.
00:16:23.777 --> 00:16:24.944
Do it with all of your mind. do it with all
00:16:25.011 --> 00:16:25.612
Do it with all of your strength.
00:16:25.678 --> 00:16:26.312
Of your strength. do it with all that you've got,
00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:28.314
Do it with all that you've got, because if god be for you,
00:16:28.381 --> 00:16:30.517
Because if god be for you, who can be against you?
00:16:30.583 --> 00:16:34.554
Who can be against you? (applause)
00:16:34.621 --> 00:16:40.727
(applause) how many million-dollar ideas
00:16:40.794 --> 00:16:42.462
How many million-dollar ideas and brilliant companies were
00:16:42.529 --> 00:16:44.097
And brilliant companies were forfeited to second thoughts?
00:16:44.164 --> 00:16:46.466
Forfeited to second thoughts? how many promises came from
00:16:46.533 --> 00:16:47.834
How many promises came from heaven above and were acted
00:16:47.901 --> 00:16:49.536
Heaven above and were acted upon for nothing,
00:16:49.602 --> 00:16:50.737
Upon for nothing, because of second thoughts?
00:16:50.804 --> 00:16:52.572
Because of second thoughts? why didn't the children of
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.473
Why didn't the children of israel walk into the promised
00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:54.741
Israel walk into the promised land the first time?
00:16:54.808 --> 00:16:56.109
Land the first time? second thoughts.
00:16:56.176 --> 00:16:58.812
Second thoughts. the lord is your keeper.
00:16:58.878 --> 00:17:00.113
The lord is your keeper. the lord is your helper.
00:17:00.180 --> 00:17:01.915
The lord is your helper. put your foot down in faith
00:17:01.981 --> 00:17:03.583
Put your foot down in faith believing today.
00:17:03.650 --> 00:17:04.717
Believing today. take a stand,
00:17:04.784 --> 00:17:05.752
Take a stand, because god will not fail you.
00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:10.256
Because god will not fail you. [amen!]
00:17:10.323 --> 00:17:10.924
[amen!] god not only helps with
00:17:10.990 --> 00:17:11.991
God not only helps with your confidence,
00:17:12.058 --> 00:17:12.725
Your confidence, but god helps when you're
00:17:12.792 --> 00:17:14.160
But god helps when you're weary.
00:17:14.227 --> 00:17:16.196
Weary. god helps when you're tired.
00:17:16.262 --> 00:17:19.199
God helps when you're tired. hezekiah says,
00:17:19.265 --> 00:17:19.966
Hezekiah says, "he who keeps israel,
00:17:20.033 --> 00:17:21.034
"he who keeps israel, he neither slumbers,
00:17:21.101 --> 00:17:22.635
He neither slumbers, nor he sleeps."
00:17:22.702 --> 00:17:24.671
Nor he sleeps." "the lord is your keeper.
00:17:24.737 --> 00:17:26.439
"the lord is your keeper. he who keeps you
00:17:26.506 --> 00:17:27.540
He who keeps you neither slumbers nor sleeps."
00:17:27.607 --> 00:17:29.275
Neither slumbers nor sleeps." god is saying to you,
00:17:29.342 --> 00:17:30.477
God is saying to you, you can rest,
00:17:30.543 --> 00:17:31.945
You can rest, because i will not.
00:17:32.011 --> 00:17:35.181
Because i will not. the first tendency of everyone
00:17:35.248 --> 00:17:36.282
The first tendency of everyone who takes a stand for god
00:17:36.349 --> 00:17:37.784
Who takes a stand for god is that they believe
00:17:37.851 --> 00:17:38.518
Is that they believe that everything is up to them.
00:17:38.585 --> 00:17:40.386
That everything is up to them. i have to keep going.
00:17:40.453 --> 00:17:41.955
I have to keep going. i can't give up.
00:17:42.021 --> 00:17:43.022
I can't give up. i can't quit.
00:17:43.089 --> 00:17:44.057
I can't quit. i can't slow down.
00:17:44.124 --> 00:17:45.225
I can't slow down. if i slow down,
00:17:45.291 --> 00:17:45.925
If i slow down, then something's going to go
00:17:45.992 --> 00:17:46.893
Then something's going to go wrong.
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.494
Wrong. if i give up,
00:17:47.560 --> 00:17:48.094
If i give up, then the enemy's going to take
00:17:48.161 --> 00:17:48.995
Then the enemy's going to take over.
00:17:49.062 --> 00:17:49.696
Over. and i understand what it feels
00:17:49.762 --> 00:17:51.464
And i understand what it feels like to have the pressure of
00:17:51.531 --> 00:17:53.066
Like to have the pressure of a battle in front of you.
00:17:53.133 --> 00:17:55.435
A battle in front of you. there are times when your
00:17:55.502 --> 00:17:56.569
There are times when your fortitude and your endurance
00:17:56.636 --> 00:17:58.671
Fortitude and your endurance are a measure
00:17:58.738 --> 00:17:59.205
Are a measure of your faithfulness.
00:17:59.272 --> 00:18:01.374
Of your faithfulness. but whenever you push yourself
00:18:01.441 --> 00:18:02.675
But whenever you push yourself to physical exhaustion,
00:18:02.742 --> 00:18:04.077
To physical exhaustion, you've turned your faithfulness
00:18:04.144 --> 00:18:05.378
You've turned your faithfulness into foolishness.
00:18:05.445 --> 00:18:07.480
Into foolishness. why?
00:18:07.547 --> 00:18:09.349
Why? because a lack of rest
00:18:09.415 --> 00:18:10.617
Because a lack of rest demonstrates your lack of trust
00:18:10.683 --> 00:18:12.452
Demonstrates your lack of trust in god.
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.787
In god. god said,
00:18:14.854 --> 00:18:16.589
God said, "six days you shall work."
00:18:16.656 --> 00:18:18.758
"six days you shall work." one day you shall rest.
00:18:18.825 --> 00:18:21.928
One day you shall rest. it's one thing for you to do
00:18:21.995 --> 00:18:23.129
It's one thing for you to do your part in six days.
00:18:23.196 --> 00:18:24.998
Your part in six days. but when you try to do
00:18:25.064 --> 00:18:25.765
But when you try to do god's part on the seventh day,
00:18:25.832 --> 00:18:27.667
God's part on the seventh day, you've put too much
00:18:27.734 --> 00:18:28.601
You've put too much on yourself.
00:18:28.668 --> 00:18:31.738
On yourself. what god is saying to you is
00:18:31.804 --> 00:18:33.606
What god is saying to you is you can rest because i neither
00:18:33.673 --> 00:18:36.009
You can rest because i neither slumber, nor do i sleep.
00:18:36.075 --> 00:18:39.045
Slumber, nor do i sleep. you can rest,
00:18:39.112 --> 00:18:40.146
You can rest, because i will not.
00:18:40.213 --> 00:18:41.748
Because i will not. mother, i want to tell you
00:18:41.814 --> 00:18:42.715
Mother, i want to tell you today,
00:18:42.782 --> 00:18:43.383
Today, you can rest,
00:18:43.449 --> 00:18:44.551
You can rest, because god's watching over
00:18:44.617 --> 00:18:45.518
Because god's watching over your children.
00:18:45.585 --> 00:18:47.353
Your children. businessman,
00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:47.954
Businessman, i want you to know today,
00:18:48.021 --> 00:18:48.955
I want you to know today, you can rest,
00:18:49.022 --> 00:18:49.956
You can rest, because god's watching over
00:18:50.023 --> 00:18:50.990
Because god's watching over your finances.
00:18:51.057 --> 00:18:52.592
Your finances. father, you can rest today,
00:18:52.659 --> 00:18:54.160
Father, you can rest today, because god's watching over

Because god's watching over your home.
00:18:55.295 --> 00:18:56.196
Your home. you can rest today,
00:18:56.262 --> 00:18:57.363
You can rest today, because god's watching over
00:18:57.430 --> 00:18:58.498
Because god's watching over your physical body.
00:18:58.565 --> 00:18:59.666
Your physical body. you can rest today,
00:18:59.732 --> 00:19:00.800
You can rest today, because god's watching over
00:19:00.867 --> 00:19:02.001
Because god's watching over your church.
00:19:02.068 --> 00:19:02.835
Your church. you can rest today,
00:19:02.902 --> 00:19:03.903
You can rest today, because god's watching over
00:19:03.970 --> 00:19:05.038
Because god's watching over your school.
00:19:05.104 --> 00:19:05.905
Your school. you can rest today,
00:19:05.972 --> 00:19:07.006
You can rest today, because god's watches over
00:19:07.073 --> 00:19:08.241
Because god's watches over the whole world.
00:19:08.308 --> 00:19:09.309
The whole world. nothing has escaped his eye.
00:19:09.375 --> 00:19:11.477
Nothing has escaped his eye. rest in his promises,
00:19:11.544 --> 00:19:13.112
Rest in his promises, because his promises are yes
00:19:13.179 --> 00:19:14.881
Because his promises are yes and amen in christ jesus!
00:19:14.948 --> 00:19:17.217
And amen in christ jesus! and god will not let you down!
00:19:17.283 --> 00:19:21.588
And god will not let you down! (applause)
00:19:21.654 --> 00:19:27.026
(applause) god helps you with rest.
00:19:27.093 --> 00:19:29.529
God helps you with rest. and then hezekiah says that god
00:19:29.596 --> 00:19:30.930
And then hezekiah says that god keeps you from evil.
00:19:30.997 --> 00:19:34.200
Keeps you from evil. "the lord shall preserve you
00:19:34.267 --> 00:19:36.302
"the lord shall preserve you from all evil."
00:19:36.369 --> 00:19:37.537
From all evil." how much evil?
00:19:37.604 --> 00:19:38.705
How much evil? all.
00:19:38.771 --> 00:19:40.640
All. now understand that this word
00:19:40.707 --> 00:19:41.975
Now understand that this word "evil" that we read
00:19:42.041 --> 00:19:42.842
"evil" that we read in psalm 121,
00:19:42.909 --> 00:19:44.110
In psalm 121, when you take the hebrew word
00:19:44.177 --> 00:19:45.645
When you take the hebrew word and you translate it
00:19:45.712 --> 00:19:46.512
And you translate it to the modern language,
00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:48.848
To the modern language, this word literally means
00:19:48.915 --> 00:19:50.283
This word literally means the destruction of all
00:19:50.350 --> 00:19:52.051
The destruction of all that is good.
00:19:52.118 --> 00:19:54.320
That is good. this is not people wanting
00:19:54.387 --> 00:19:55.588
This is not people wanting to do bad things to you.
00:19:55.655 --> 00:19:56.990
To do bad things to you. this is people who want to
00:19:57.056 --> 00:19:57.957
This is people who want to destroy you and all
00:19:58.024 --> 00:19:59.659
Destroy you and all that is good with you.
00:19:59.726 --> 00:20:01.661
That is good with you. and hezekiah says,
00:20:01.728 --> 00:20:02.462
And hezekiah says, when that kind of evil
00:20:02.528 --> 00:20:03.296
When that kind of evil shows up,
00:20:03.363 --> 00:20:04.631
Shows up, god will preserve you.
00:20:04.697 --> 00:20:07.300
God will preserve you. god won't let it come near you.
00:20:07.367 --> 00:20:10.236
God won't let it come near you. he'll take care of you in
00:20:10.303 --> 00:20:11.271
He'll take care of you in your going out and your coming
00:20:11.337 --> 00:20:12.238
Your going out and your coming in from this time
00:20:12.305 --> 00:20:13.473
In from this time and forevermore.
00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.407
And forevermore. it's not a 30-day,
00:20:14.474 --> 00:20:15.341
It's not a 30-day, money-back guarantee.
00:20:15.408 --> 00:20:16.442
Money-back guarantee. it is a lifetime
00:20:16.509 --> 00:20:17.443
It is a lifetime and eternal promise.
00:20:17.510 --> 00:20:20.613
And eternal promise. (applause)
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:25.251
(applause) now why is that important?
00:20:25.318 --> 00:20:27.787
Now why is that important? because, church,
00:20:27.854 --> 00:20:28.721
Because, church, we live in an evil day.
00:20:28.788 --> 00:20:31.491
We live in an evil day. we live in a time when
00:20:31.557 --> 00:20:32.558
We live in a time when the world that we're in wants
00:20:32.625 --> 00:20:33.860
The world that we're in wants to destroy all that is good.
00:20:33.926 --> 00:20:38.131
To destroy all that is good. it wants to destroy faith.
00:20:38.197 --> 00:20:40.900
It wants to destroy faith. it wants to take the word
00:20:40.967 --> 00:20:42.535
It wants to take the word of god and label it
00:20:42.602 --> 00:20:43.603
Of god and label it "hate speech."
00:20:43.670 --> 00:20:45.571
"hate speech." because while this word
00:20:45.638 --> 00:20:46.673
Because while this word is inerrant,
00:20:46.739 --> 00:20:47.907
Is inerrant, meaning that it is not wrong,
00:20:47.974 --> 00:20:49.409
Meaning that it is not wrong, it is not politically correct.
00:20:49.475 --> 00:20:51.210
It is not politically correct. but i promise you this;
00:20:51.277 --> 00:20:52.145
But i promise you this; i'd rather be right with god
00:20:52.211 --> 00:20:53.880
I'd rather be right with god and wrong with man,
00:20:53.946 --> 00:20:55.081
And wrong with man, than right with man
00:20:55.148 --> 00:20:56.082
Than right with man and wrong with god.
00:20:56.149 --> 00:20:58.451
And wrong with god. (applause)
00:20:58.518 --> 00:21:00.320
(applause) so what does evil do whenever
00:21:00.386 --> 00:21:02.188
So what does evil do whenever you have this battle going on
00:21:02.255 --> 00:21:03.856
You have this battle going on between good and evil,
00:21:03.923 --> 00:21:05.158
Between good and evil, light and darkness?
00:21:05.224 --> 00:21:06.025
Light and darkness? the number one tactic of evil
00:21:06.092 --> 00:21:07.527
The number one tactic of evil is that it hates anyone
00:21:07.593 --> 00:21:09.829
Is that it hates anyone who takes a stand.
00:21:09.896 --> 00:21:12.031
Who takes a stand. why did sennacherib want
00:21:12.098 --> 00:21:13.132
Why did sennacherib want hezekiah dead?
00:21:13.199 --> 00:21:14.600
Hezekiah dead? because hezekiah took a stand.
00:21:14.667 --> 00:21:17.103
Because hezekiah took a stand. what did jesus say?
00:21:17.170 --> 00:21:18.738
What did jesus say? jesus said,
00:21:18.805 --> 00:21:19.372
Jesus said, "the world hates me
00:21:19.439 --> 00:21:20.807
"the world hates me and the world will hate you."
00:21:20.873 --> 00:21:23.309
And the world will hate you." but then he said,
00:21:23.376 --> 00:21:23.843
But then he said, "be of good cheer;
00:21:23.910 --> 00:21:25.044
"be of good cheer; i've overcome the world."
00:21:25.111 --> 00:21:26.846
I've overcome the world." [amen!]
00:21:26.913 --> 00:21:28.381
[amen!] (applause)
00:21:28.448 --> 00:21:30.683
(applause) why do they hate
00:21:30.750 --> 00:21:31.317
Why do they hate bible-believing christians
00:21:31.384 --> 00:21:33.052
Bible-believing christians in the world today?
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:33.886
In the world today? it's okay to call yourself
00:21:33.953 --> 00:21:35.321
It's okay to call yourself a christian.
00:21:35.388 --> 00:21:36.122
A christian. christians, good.
00:21:36.189 --> 00:21:37.990
Christians, good. bible-believing christians?
00:21:38.057 --> 00:21:39.692
Bible-believing christians? oh, no, it's them again.
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.161
Oh, no, it's them again. (laughter)
00:21:42.228 --> 00:21:44.130
(laughter) why?
00:21:44.197 --> 00:21:45.898
Why? because if you are
00:21:45.965 --> 00:21:46.499
Because if you are a bible-believer,
00:21:46.566 --> 00:21:47.533
A bible-believer, sooner or later,
00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:48.368
Sooner or later, you've got to take a stand.
00:21:48.434 --> 00:21:51.137
You've got to take a stand. you've either got to stand upon
00:21:51.204 --> 00:21:52.338
You've either got to stand upon what this book says or you've
00:21:52.405 --> 00:21:53.573
What this book says or you've got to pretend like this book
00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:54.774
Got to pretend like this book doesn't exist.
00:21:54.841 --> 00:21:55.675
Doesn't exist. you can't have it both ways.
00:21:55.742 --> 00:21:58.010
You can't have it both ways. [amen!]
00:21:58.077 --> 00:21:59.078
[amen!] think about where we see evil
00:21:59.145 --> 00:22:00.980
Think about where we see evil turning against good in the
00:22:01.047 --> 00:22:02.515
Turning against good in the world that we live in today.
00:22:02.582 --> 00:22:03.549
World that we live in today. why do they hate chick-fil-a?
00:22:03.616 --> 00:22:04.951
Why do they hate chick-fil-a? because of a sandwich?
00:22:05.017 --> 00:22:06.853
Because of a sandwich? (laughter)
00:22:06.919 --> 00:22:08.321
(laughter) no.
00:22:08.388 --> 00:22:10.289
No. because they're not ashamed
00:22:10.356 --> 00:22:11.357
Because they're not ashamed to take a stand for faith
00:22:11.424 --> 00:22:13.025
To take a stand for faith and family values.
00:22:13.092 --> 00:22:14.060
And family values. but i say,
00:22:14.127 --> 00:22:14.761
But i say, god bless the cathy family
00:22:14.827 --> 00:22:16.396
God bless the cathy family and their organization.
00:22:16.462 --> 00:22:18.498
And their organization. (applause)
00:22:18.564 --> 00:22:23.870
(applause) consider what you've seen
00:22:23.936 --> 00:22:24.837
Consider what you've seen recently in the resurgence
00:22:24.904 --> 00:22:26.072
Recently in the resurgence of sports,
00:22:26.139 --> 00:22:26.806
Of sports, as athletes are taking a knee
00:22:26.873 --> 00:22:28.274
As athletes are taking a knee to protest the united states.
00:22:28.341 --> 00:22:30.009
To protest the united states. there are individuals who are
00:22:30.076 --> 00:22:31.177
There are individuals who are choosing to take a stand.
00:22:31.244 --> 00:22:32.512
Choosing to take a stand. why?
00:22:32.578 --> 00:22:33.146
Why? because they've said very
00:22:33.212 --> 00:22:33.946
Because they've said very clearly,
00:22:34.013 --> 00:22:34.714
Clearly, we're bible-believing
00:22:34.781 --> 00:22:35.648
We're bible-believing christians and we do not feel
00:22:35.715 --> 00:22:37.049
Christians and we do not feel that you should kneel before
00:22:37.116 --> 00:22:38.184
That you should kneel before anything except jesus christ,
00:22:38.251 --> 00:22:40.086
Anything except jesus christ, the lord your god.
00:22:40.153 --> 00:22:42.555
The lord your god. (applause)
00:22:42.622 --> 00:22:53.099
(applause) why are they being targeted?
00:22:53.166 --> 00:22:54.300
Why are they being targeted? they're being targeted because
00:22:54.367 --> 00:22:55.401
They're being targeted because they have what evil hates.
00:22:55.468 --> 00:22:57.236
They have what evil hates. do you know what evil hates?
00:22:57.303 --> 00:22:58.571
Do you know what evil hates? evil hates conviction.
00:22:58.638 --> 00:23:01.407
Evil hates conviction. [amen!]
00:23:01.474 --> 00:23:02.241
[amen!] people who believe what they
00:23:02.308 --> 00:23:03.476
People who believe what they believe whether you like it
00:23:03.543 --> 00:23:04.644
Believe whether you like it or not.
00:23:04.710 --> 00:23:06.412
Or not. consider a church that's
00:23:06.479 --> 00:23:07.346
Consider a church that's willing to take a stand.
00:23:07.413 --> 00:23:09.148
Willing to take a stand. you're not going to be loved
00:23:09.215 --> 00:23:11.050
You're not going to be loved by those who despise what you
00:23:11.117 --> 00:23:12.385
By those who despise what you believe in.
00:23:12.452 --> 00:23:13.886
Believe in. jesus said,
00:23:13.953 --> 00:23:15.455
Jesus said, "blessed are you when they
00:23:15.521 --> 00:23:17.657
"blessed are you when they speak evil and all
00:23:17.723 --> 00:23:18.758
Speak evil and all take manner against you
00:23:18.825 --> 00:23:19.725
Take manner against you for my name sake.
00:23:19.792 --> 00:23:21.494
For my name sake. for great is your reward
00:23:21.561 --> 00:23:23.062
For great is your reward in heaven.
00:23:23.129 --> 00:23:23.830
In heaven. rejoice and be exceedingly
00:23:23.896 --> 00:23:25.798
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad."

Glad." (applause)

(applause) church, based on that promise,
00:23:27.633 --> 00:23:29.001
Church, based on that promise, if the light of the world
00:23:29.068 --> 00:23:30.069
If the light of the world will shine,
00:23:30.136 --> 00:23:31.204
Will shine, we can rejoice
00:23:31.270 --> 00:23:32.271
We can rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
00:23:32.338 --> 00:23:33.906
And be exceedingly glad, because our hope is not built
00:23:33.973 --> 00:23:35.842
Because our hope is not built on the approval ratings
00:23:35.908 --> 00:23:36.943
On the approval ratings of the public.
00:23:37.009 --> 00:23:37.910
Of the public. and our peace will not come
00:23:37.977 --> 00:23:39.712
And our peace will not come with a compromise
00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.780
With a compromise with the world, the flesh,
00:23:40.847 --> 00:23:41.647
With the world, the flesh, and the devil.
00:23:41.714 --> 00:23:42.448
And the devil. our joy is not based on
00:23:42.515 --> 00:23:44.517
Our joy is not based on man's opinion.
00:23:44.584 --> 00:23:45.618
Man's opinion. and our help does not come from
00:23:45.685 --> 00:23:47.553
And our help does not come from a counsel chamber,
00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:48.888
A counsel chamber, a congressional district,
00:23:48.955 --> 00:23:50.223
A congressional district, or a government building.
00:23:50.289 --> 00:23:51.557
Or a government building. our help comes from the lord!
00:23:51.624 --> 00:23:54.927
Our help comes from the lord! our help comes from the lord!
00:23:54.994 --> 00:23:58.030
Our help comes from the lord! our hope is built on nothing
00:23:58.097 --> 00:24:00.032
Our hope is built on nothing less than jesus' blood
00:24:00.099 --> 00:24:02.101
Less than jesus' blood and righteousness.
00:24:02.168 --> 00:24:03.369
And righteousness. we dare not trust
00:24:03.436 --> 00:24:04.770
We dare not trust the sweetest frame,
00:24:04.837 --> 00:24:06.105
The sweetest frame, but wholly lean on jesus' name.
00:24:06.172 --> 00:24:08.641
But wholly lean on jesus' name. on christ the solid rock
