00:00:15.275 --> 00:00:15.909
Of you know what it's like to have to do something?
00:00:15.975 --> 00:00:18.445
To have to do something? (laughter)
00:00:18.511 --> 00:00:20.280
(laughter) you have to pay taxes; right?
00:00:20.346 --> 00:00:23.616
You have to pay taxes; right? (laughter)
00:00:23.683 --> 00:00:24.551
(laughter) the mindset of a watchman
00:00:24.617 --> 00:00:25.585
The mindset of a watchman cannot be a "have to" mindset.
00:00:25.652 --> 00:00:27.654
Cannot be a "have to" mindset. the mindset of a watchman has
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:28.888
The mindset of a watchman has got to be a "get to" mindset
00:00:28.955 --> 00:00:33.059
Got to be a "get to" mindset where you consider it your
00:00:33.126 --> 00:00:34.194
Where you consider it your privilege that you get to serve
00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:36.796
Privilege that you get to serve as a watchman
00:00:36.863 --> 00:00:37.697
As a watchman in this generation.
00:00:37.764 --> 00:00:39.065
In this generation. you get to be a watchman
00:00:39.132 --> 00:00:40.767
You get to be a watchman over your family.
00:00:40.834 --> 00:00:41.868
Over your family. you get to be a watchman
00:00:41.935 --> 00:00:43.503
You get to be a watchman over your business.
00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:44.437
Over your business. you get to be a watchman
00:00:44.504 --> 00:00:46.973
You get to be a watchman over the things that you love
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:48.408
Over the things that you love and the things that you want
00:00:48.475 --> 00:00:49.476
And the things that you want to protect.
00:00:49.542 --> 00:00:51.244
To protect. because with watchmen,
00:00:51.311 --> 00:00:52.545
Because with watchmen, if they have a "have to"
00:00:52.612 --> 00:00:53.746
If they have a "have to" attitude,
00:00:53.813 --> 00:00:54.514
Attitude, on days when it's 105
00:00:54.581 --> 00:00:56.216
On days when it's 105 in the middle of the summer
00:00:56.282 --> 00:00:57.383
In the middle of the summer and they're looking out over
00:00:57.450 --> 00:00:58.351
And they're looking out over the sands of the desert,
00:00:58.418 --> 00:00:59.686
The sands of the desert, they might stare more at those
00:00:59.752 --> 00:01:01.254
They might stare more at those sitting in the shade,
00:01:01.321 --> 00:01:02.388
Sitting in the shade, and wonder why they can't
00:01:02.455 --> 00:01:03.623
And wonder why they can't sit down like those,
00:01:03.690 --> 00:01:05.191
Sit down like those, instead of saying,
00:01:05.258 --> 00:01:06.025
Instead of saying, "i get to serve and no one
00:01:06.092 --> 00:01:08.161
"i get to serve and no one will be harmed,
00:01:08.228 --> 00:01:09.062
Will be harmed, not on my watch."
00:01:09.129 --> 00:01:11.764
Not on my watch." or if they're standing
00:01:11.831 --> 00:01:12.465
Or if they're standing in the debt of winter
00:01:12.532 --> 00:01:13.800
In the debt of winter and it's the cold air
00:01:13.867 --> 00:01:14.901
And it's the cold air that's blowing,
00:01:14.968 --> 00:01:15.635
That's blowing, and they're shivering cold
00:01:15.702 --> 00:01:16.936
And they're shivering cold while others are is sleeping
00:01:17.003 --> 00:01:17.971
While others are is sleeping next to the warm fire
00:01:18.037 --> 00:01:19.105
Next to the warm fire in their house.
00:01:19.172 --> 00:01:20.073
In their house. a watchman has to say,
00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:21.274
A watchman has to say, "i get to serve while others
00:01:21.341 --> 00:01:23.543
"i get to serve while others are sleeping in peace."
00:01:23.610 --> 00:01:26.913
Are sleeping in peace." we have to have a mindset
00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:28.248
We have to have a mindset that recognizes the role
00:01:28.314 --> 00:01:29.716
That recognizes the role and responsibility that god
00:01:29.782 --> 00:01:31.117
And responsibility that god has given to us play.
00:01:31.184 --> 00:01:32.352
Has given to us play. it's too important for us to
00:01:32.418 --> 00:01:33.953
It's too important for us to forfeit who we are and not do
00:01:34.020 --> 00:01:36.322
Forfeit who we are and not do what god has required us to do.
00:01:36.389 --> 00:01:39.359
What god has required us to do. so the question is,
00:01:39.425 --> 00:01:41.494
So the question is, "where do you look in the day
00:01:41.561 --> 00:01:43.730
"where do you look in the day of trouble?"
00:01:43.796 --> 00:01:45.398
Of trouble?" when you read psalm 121,
00:01:45.465 --> 00:01:47.934
When you read psalm 121, there are two different
00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:49.269
There are two different speakers in the psalm.
00:01:49.335 --> 00:01:52.572
Speakers in the psalm. it's the same person,
00:01:52.639 --> 00:01:54.207
It's the same person, but he's got two different
00:01:54.274 --> 00:01:55.408
But he's got two different mindsets as the psalm
00:01:55.475 --> 00:01:57.343
Mindsets as the psalm progresses.
00:01:57.410 --> 00:01:59.312
Progresses. have you ever started
00:01:59.379 --> 00:02:00.380
Have you ever started a conversation with yourself,
00:02:00.446 --> 00:02:02.282
A conversation with yourself, and then in the midst of
00:02:02.348 --> 00:02:03.049
And then in the midst of the conversation you were
00:02:03.116 --> 00:02:03.917
The conversation you were having with yourself,
00:02:03.983 --> 00:02:04.918
Having with yourself, became a different person
00:02:04.984 --> 00:02:05.952
Became a different person while you were talking?
00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:07.587
While you were talking? (laughter)
00:02:07.654 --> 00:02:09.389
(laughter) believe me; it's normal.
00:02:09.455 --> 00:02:11.491
Believe me; it's normal. (laughter)
00:02:11.558 --> 00:02:14.360
(laughter) the first person asks
00:02:14.427 --> 00:02:16.095
The first person asks a question.
00:02:16.162 --> 00:02:17.997
A question. the second person declares
00:02:18.064 --> 00:02:20.333
The second person declares a truth.
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.035
A truth. the first person wants to know;
00:02:22.101 --> 00:02:23.503
The first person wants to know; where is my help coming from?
00:02:23.570 --> 00:02:25.438
Where is my help coming from? the second person knows exactly
00:02:25.505 --> 00:02:27.540
The second person knows exactly who to turn to in a day
00:02:27.607 --> 00:02:28.975
Who to turn to in a day of trouble.
00:02:29.042 --> 00:02:30.743
Of trouble. it's the same person.
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:32.078
It's the same person. the difference is not
00:02:32.145 --> 00:02:33.313
The difference is not who the individual is.
00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:34.414
Who the individual is. the difference is he was
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:35.381
The difference is he was reminded of something whenever
00:02:35.448 --> 00:02:37.083
Reminded of something whenever he realized that troubled times
00:02:37.150 --> 00:02:38.885
He realized that troubled times had come.
00:02:38.952 --> 00:02:41.688
Had come. you see king hezekiah
00:02:41.754 --> 00:02:43.156
You see king hezekiah in jerusalem was living
00:02:43.223 --> 00:02:45.225
In jerusalem was living in troubled times.
00:02:45.291 --> 00:02:47.994
In troubled times. king hezekiah had been
00:02:48.061 --> 00:02:49.095
King hezekiah had been a good king.
00:02:49.162 --> 00:02:50.697
A good king. when he came to power,
00:02:50.763 --> 00:02:51.598
When he came to power, he tore down all of the pagan
00:02:51.664 --> 00:02:53.032
He tore down all of the pagan altars to the false gods
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:55.335
Altars to the false gods that the children of israel
00:02:55.401 --> 00:02:56.436
That the children of israel were worshiping.
00:02:56.502 --> 00:02:57.870
Were worshiping. he reinstated the sabbath.
00:02:57.937 --> 00:02:59.272
He reinstated the sabbath. the reinstated the reading of
00:02:59.339 --> 00:03:00.640
The reinstated the reading of the torah and the word of god.
00:03:00.707 --> 00:03:02.208
The torah and the word of god. you would have thought,
00:03:02.275 --> 00:03:03.076
You would have thought, for all of his good deeds,
00:03:03.142 --> 00:03:04.477
For all of his good deeds, god would have given him
00:03:04.544 --> 00:03:05.411
God would have given him a little bit of time off.
00:03:05.478 --> 00:03:08.047
A little bit of time off. have you ever thought that the
00:03:08.114 --> 00:03:09.015
Have you ever thought that the things you did here on earth
00:03:09.082 --> 00:03:10.216
Things you did here on earth bought you good graces
00:03:10.283 --> 00:03:11.251
Bought you good graces up in heaven?
00:03:11.317 --> 00:03:12.952
Up in heaven? i mean i've been so good
00:03:13.019 --> 00:03:13.820
I mean i've been so good for the last six months;
00:03:13.886 --> 00:03:14.754
For the last six months; god's going to give me
00:03:14.821 --> 00:03:15.521
God's going to give me the next 30 days free.
00:03:15.588 --> 00:03:17.957
The next 30 days free. (laughter)
00:03:18.024 --> 00:03:19.259
(laughter) that's not how it works.
00:03:19.325 --> 00:03:22.962
That's not how it works. hezekiah has ruled and been
00:03:23.029 --> 00:03:24.931
Hezekiah has ruled and been a righteous king.
00:03:24.998 --> 00:03:25.965
A righteous king. and he hears that the assyrian
00:03:26.032 --> 00:03:27.934
And he hears that the assyrian army under the leadership
00:03:28.001 --> 00:03:29.135
Army under the leadership of sennacherib is coming
00:03:29.202 --> 00:03:30.737
Of sennacherib is coming to siege jerusalem.
00:03:30.803 --> 00:03:33.906
To siege jerusalem. a hundred and eighty thousand
00:03:33.973 --> 00:03:35.375
A hundred and eighty thousand warriors have been walking
00:03:35.441 --> 00:03:37.076
Warriors have been walking across the known world,
00:03:37.143 --> 00:03:38.745
Across the known world, spreading like a virus.
00:03:38.811 --> 00:03:42.348
Spreading like a virus. it paints a different picture
00:03:42.415 --> 00:03:43.349
It paints a different picture today; don't it?
00:03:43.416 --> 00:03:45.985
Today; don't it? they've murdered tens
00:03:46.052 --> 00:03:47.120
They've murdered tens of thousands of people.
00:03:47.186 --> 00:03:48.187
Of thousands of people. they've tortured hundreds
00:03:48.254 --> 00:03:49.322
They've tortured hundreds of thousands of people.
00:03:49.389 --> 00:03:50.356
Of thousands of people. they've burned and pillaged
00:03:50.423 --> 00:03:51.958
They've burned and pillaged and sieged cities.
00:03:52.025 --> 00:03:53.626
And sieged cities. and they're coming
00:03:53.693 --> 00:03:54.694
And they're coming for jerusalem.
00:03:54.761 --> 00:03:58.698
For jerusalem. every child in jerusalem
00:03:58.765 --> 00:04:00.566
Every child in jerusalem is stricken with fear when they
00:04:00.633 --> 00:04:01.868
Is stricken with fear when they hear the word "sennacherib"
00:04:01.934 --> 00:04:03.703
Hear the word "sennacherib" spoken,
00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:04.237
Spoken, because they know that it means
00:04:04.304 --> 00:04:05.505
Because they know that it means the most vicious and violent
00:04:05.571 --> 00:04:07.006
The most vicious and violent destruction that you could ask
00:04:07.073 --> 00:04:08.641
Destruction that you could ask or think.
00:04:08.708 --> 00:04:11.044
Or think. but rather than peace
00:04:11.110 --> 00:04:11.778
But rather than peace and prosperity,
00:04:11.844 --> 00:04:13.646
And prosperity, hezekiah says,
00:04:13.713 --> 00:04:14.847
Hezekiah says, "shall i look to the hills?"
00:04:14.914 --> 00:04:17.750
"shall i look to the hills?" can i look to the mountains
00:04:17.817 --> 00:04:18.985
Can i look to the mountains where i played as a child?
00:04:19.052 --> 00:04:21.120
Where i played as a child? can i look to the hills that
00:04:21.187 --> 00:04:22.588
Can i look to the hills that surround the city of jerusalem?
00:04:22.655 --> 00:04:24.223
Surround the city of jerusalem? can i look to the things of
00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:25.391
Can i look to the things of this earth and find anything
00:04:25.458 --> 00:04:27.193
This earth and find anything that will help me?
00:04:27.260 --> 00:04:30.363
That will help me? and he couldn't,
00:04:30.430 --> 00:04:32.799
And he couldn't, because the places that he was
00:04:32.865 --> 00:04:33.866
Because the places that he was familiar with in his childhood
00:04:33.933 --> 00:04:35.768
Familiar with in his childhood are now covered with 180,000
00:04:35.835 --> 00:04:38.571
Are now covered with 180,000 men of war who want him dead.
00:04:38.638 --> 00:04:41.841
Men of war who want him dead. it's a very literal question,
00:04:41.908 --> 00:04:43.676
It's a very literal question, because the city of jerusalem
00:04:43.743 --> 00:04:45.111
Because the city of jerusalem sits at 2550 feet above
00:04:45.178 --> 00:04:48.214
Sits at 2550 feet above sea level.
00:04:48.281 --> 00:04:50.316
Sea level. just a few miles below it
00:04:50.383 --> 00:04:52.318
Just a few miles below it is the dead sea,
00:04:52.385 --> 00:04:53.419
Is the dead sea, 3800 feet below sea level,
00:04:53.486 --> 00:04:56.622
3800 feet below sea level, a significant transition
00:04:56.689 --> 00:04:58.758
A significant transition in the topography there.
00:04:58.825 --> 00:05:00.159
In the topography there. and right in the middle
00:05:00.226 --> 00:05:00.993
And right in the middle of the mountain range
00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:01.994
Of the mountain range is jerusalem.
00:05:02.061 --> 00:05:02.929
Is jerusalem. surrounding it,
00:05:02.995 --> 00:05:03.730
Surrounding it, north, east, and west,
00:05:03.796 --> 00:05:05.131
North, east, and west, is the mount of olives,
00:05:05.198 --> 00:05:06.165
Is the mount of olives, mount zion,
00:05:06.232 --> 00:05:06.966
Mount zion, and mount scopus.
00:05:07.033 --> 00:05:09.202
And mount scopus. and hezekiah,
00:05:09.268 --> 00:05:09.969
And hezekiah, the king of the city,
00:05:10.036 --> 00:05:11.037
The king of the city, is looking all around him.
00:05:11.104 --> 00:05:12.538
Is looking all around him. and everywhere he looks,
00:05:12.605 --> 00:05:13.806
And everywhere he looks, he sees the campfires
00:05:13.873 --> 00:05:15.208
He sees the campfires of warriors,
00:05:15.274 --> 00:05:16.042
Of warriors, who are waiting for the day
00:05:16.109 --> 00:05:17.310
Who are waiting for the day that they can breach the wall
00:05:17.377 --> 00:05:19.045
That they can breach the wall and come and take him.
00:05:19.112 --> 00:05:22.148
And come and take him. the places where he played
00:05:22.215 --> 00:05:23.116
The places where he played as a child have now become
00:05:23.182 --> 00:05:24.350

A watchman walks into the throne room,
00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:43.169
Walks into the throne room, by the name of isaiah,

He makes hezekiah stop looking to the things of this world
00:05:57.683 --> 00:05:58.751
To the things of this world and start looking to the things
00:05:58.818 --> 00:05:59.952
And start looking to the things above.
00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:01.053

He let's hezekiah know, if you want to find help,

If you want to find help, don't look to the hills;
00:06:03.489 --> 00:06:04.357
Don't look to the hills; look to the god who holds
00:06:04.424 --> 00:06:05.725
Look to the god who holds the hills in the palm
00:06:05.792 --> 00:06:07.226

Wonderful when a watchman will look out and see danger,
00:06:11.297 --> 00:06:12.598
Will look out and see danger, and give you warning.
00:06:12.665 --> 00:06:13.633
And give you warning. but it's even better when
00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:14.667
But it's even better when a watchman doesn't point
00:06:14.734 --> 00:06:15.868
A watchman doesn't point to danger,
00:06:15.935 --> 00:06:16.602
To danger, but a watchman points
00:06:16.669 --> 00:06:17.603
But a watchman points to a savior.
00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:19.539
To a savior. [amen!]

What? the fight hasn't even started.

The fight hasn't even started. what do you mean it's ended?
00:06:53.606 --> 00:06:55.074
What do you mean it's ended? it's over when god says

Because the grass may wither and the flower may fade,
00:07:02.415 --> 00:07:03.483
And the flower may fade, but the word of the lord
00:07:03.549 --> 00:07:05.685
But the word of the lord endures forever."

On earth. [amen!]
00:12:06.852 --> 00:12:07.753
[amen!] hezekiah goes from asking
00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:08.988
Hezekiah goes from asking the question,
00:12:09.054 --> 00:12:09.555
The question, "where is my help coming from?"
00:12:09.622 --> 00:12:11.056
"where is my help coming from?" and he begins declaring,
00:12:11.123 --> 00:12:12.291
And he begins declaring, "the lord is my keeper.
00:12:12.358 --> 00:12:15.027
"the lord is my keeper. the lord is my shade."
00:12:15.094 --> 00:12:16.896
The lord is my shade." the lord is my helper.
00:12:16.962 --> 00:12:20.499
The lord is my helper. and with this,
00:12:20.566 --> 00:12:22.468
And with this, he tells us exactly what god
00:12:22.535 --> 00:12:23.803
He tells us exactly what god helps us with.
00:12:23.869 --> 00:12:26.105
Helps us with. the first thing that hezekiah
00:12:26.172 --> 00:12:27.173
The first thing that hezekiah says is that god helps you
00:12:27.239 --> 00:12:29.341
Says is that god helps you with your confidence.
00:12:29.408 --> 00:12:31.844
With your confidence. hezekiah says the lord will not
00:12:31.911 --> 00:12:34.513
Hezekiah says the lord will not allow my foot to be moved.
00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:37.817
Allow my foot to be moved. that's confidence.
00:12:37.883 --> 00:12:39.652
That's confidence. why?
00:12:39.718 --> 00:12:40.886
Why? hezekiah's a leader.
00:12:40.953 --> 00:12:43.055
Hezekiah's a leader. hezekiah is the king.
00:12:43.122 --> 00:12:44.256
Hezekiah is the king. here comes sennacherib
00:12:44.323 --> 00:12:45.157
Here comes sennacherib with 180,000 warriors.
00:12:45.224 --> 00:12:48.127
With 180,000 warriors. and people in the kingdom,
00:12:48.194 --> 00:12:48.961
And people in the kingdom, "king, what do you want to do?"
00:12:49.028 --> 00:12:51.330
"king, what do you want to do?" political counselors
00:12:51.397 --> 00:12:52.264
Political counselors have come in and said,
00:12:52.331 --> 00:12:52.998
Have come in and said, i think the best thing for you
00:12:53.065 --> 00:12:54.066
I think the best thing for you to do is to compromise
00:12:54.133 --> 00:12:55.534
To do is to compromise with sennacherib.
00:12:55.601 --> 00:12:56.302
With sennacherib. why don't we reach out to him
00:12:56.368 --> 00:12:57.336
Why don't we reach out to him and make a truce?
00:12:57.403 --> 00:12:58.304
And make a truce? why don't we see if he can
00:12:58.370 --> 00:13:00.139
Why don't we see if he can allow us to be a part of
00:13:00.206 --> 00:13:01.574
Allow us to be a part of his regime,
00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:02.374
His regime, and that way he doesn't destroy
00:13:02.441 --> 00:13:03.609
And that way he doesn't destroy us totally?
00:13:03.676 --> 00:13:04.543
Us totally? hezekiah says,
00:13:04.610 --> 00:13:05.110
Hezekiah says, we're not going to do that.
00:13:05.177 --> 00:13:07.379
We're not going to do that. others say,
00:13:07.446 --> 00:13:07.813
Others say, king, what are we going to do?
00:13:07.880 --> 00:13:09.048
King, what are we going to do? hezekiah makes a decision.
00:13:09.114 --> 00:13:10.382
Hezekiah makes a decision. he said,
00:13:10.449 --> 00:13:10.883
He said, either this is the city of god
00:13:10.950 --> 00:13:12.685
Either this is the city of god and god will protect it
00:13:12.751 --> 00:13:13.953
And god will protect it or it's not.
00:13:14.019 --> 00:13:16.088
Or it's not. and so he puts his foot down,
00:13:16.155 --> 00:13:18.824
And so he puts his foot down, we will not forfeit;
00:13:18.891 --> 00:13:21.060
We will not forfeit; we will fight.
00:13:21.126 --> 00:13:23.362
We will fight. we don't have enough to fight
00:13:23.429 --> 00:13:24.897
We don't have enough to fight sennacherib, hezekiah.
00:13:24.964 --> 00:13:26.265
Sennacherib, hezekiah. if you fight him,
00:13:26.332 --> 00:13:26.999
If you fight him, you're going to kill us all,
00:13:27.066 --> 00:13:28.000
You're going to kill us all, you fool.
00:13:28.067 --> 00:13:29.668
You fool. we're not giving in.
00:13:29.735 --> 00:13:32.705
We're not giving in. when you take a stand,
00:13:32.771 --> 00:13:34.807
When you take a stand, when you put your foot down
00:13:34.874 --> 00:13:36.809
When you put your foot down upon god's word,
00:13:36.876 --> 00:13:38.077
Upon god's word, when you take a stand upon
00:13:38.143 --> 00:13:39.578
When you take a stand upon his promises,
00:13:39.645 --> 00:13:40.980
His promises, others may doubt you,
00:13:41.046 --> 00:13:42.281
Others may doubt you, but god will not fail you.
00:13:42.348 --> 00:13:44.083
But god will not fail you. others may try
00:13:44.149 --> 00:13:44.850
Others may try to intimidate you,
00:13:44.917 --> 00:13:45.818
To intimidate you, slander you,
00:13:45.885 --> 00:13:46.652
Slander you, accuse you,
00:13:46.719 --> 00:13:47.386
Accuse you, destroy you,
00:13:47.453 --> 00:13:48.520
Destroy you, but god will defend you.
00:13:48.587 --> 00:13:50.155
But god will defend you. the earth may shake until
00:13:50.222 --> 00:13:51.757
The earth may shake until the mountains fall and are cast
00:13:51.824 --> 00:13:53.726
The mountains fall and are cast into the midst of the sea,
00:13:53.792 --> 00:13:55.160
Into the midst of the sea, but hezekiah says,
00:13:55.227 --> 00:13:56.962
But hezekiah says, "my foot shall not be moved."
00:13:57.029 --> 00:14:02.935
"my foot shall not be moved." i believe that god is asking
00:14:03.002 --> 00:14:04.203
I believe that god is asking many of you here today
00:14:04.270 --> 00:14:05.237
Many of you here today and thousands of you
00:14:05.304 --> 00:14:06.205
And thousands of you who are watching by television,
00:14:06.272 --> 00:14:07.806
Who are watching by television, "when are you going to take
00:14:07.873 --> 00:14:09.475
"when are you going to take a stand?"
00:14:09.541 --> 00:14:10.910
A stand?" when are you going to put your
00:14:10.976 --> 00:14:12.578
When are you going to put your foot down upon my promises?
00:14:12.645 --> 00:14:15.080
Foot down upon my promises? when are you going to stop
00:14:15.147 --> 00:14:16.715
When are you going to stop letting the enemy have control
00:14:16.782 --> 00:14:18.784
Letting the enemy have control of your promises and your life?
00:14:18.851 --> 00:14:21.020
Of your promises and your life? when are you going to push him
00:14:21.086 --> 00:14:22.721

When are you going to take a stand against the godless
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.127
A stand against the godless evil in our society today
00:14:28.193 --> 00:14:30.129
Evil in our society today when the bible tells us,
00:14:30.195 --> 00:14:31.196
When the bible tells us, "submit to god,
00:14:31.263 --> 00:14:32.197
"submit to god, resist the devil,
00:14:32.264 --> 00:14:33.265
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"?
00:14:33.332 --> 00:14:34.733
And he will flee from you"? when are you going to stand up
00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:36.235
When are you going to stand up for truth in a world
00:14:36.302 --> 00:14:37.603
For truth in a world that is filled with lies?
00:14:37.670 --> 00:14:39.071
That is filled with lies? when are you going to stand
00:14:39.138 --> 00:14:40.272
When are you going to stand upon his promises?
00:14:40.339 --> 00:14:41.774
Upon his promises? when are you going to stand up
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.208
When are you going to stand up for the dreams he's poured
00:14:43.275 --> 00:14:44.410
For the dreams he's poured in your heart?
00:14:44.476 --> 00:14:45.177
In your heart? when are you going to stand up
00:14:45.244 --> 00:14:46.779
When are you going to stand up upon the vision that he's given
00:14:46.845 --> 00:14:48.113
Upon the vision that he's given you?

You? when are you going to put
00:14:48.781 --> 00:14:49.848
When are you going to put your faith in god?
00:14:49.915 --> 00:14:51.450
Your faith in god? because with faith in god,
00:14:51.517 --> 00:14:52.952
Because with faith in god, all things are possible to them
00:14:53.018 --> 00:14:55.621
All things are possible to them that believe!
00:14:55.688 --> 00:14:58.057
That believe! (applause)
00:14:58.123 --> 00:15:01.160
(applause) why don't most people
00:15:01.226 --> 00:15:01.927
Why don't most people take a stand?
00:15:01.994 --> 00:15:04.363
Take a stand? because most of the time,
00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:05.597
Because most of the time, the first thing that enters
00:15:05.664 --> 00:15:06.632
The first thing that enters our mind after a bold decision
00:15:06.699 --> 00:15:09.401
Our mind after a bold decision is a second thought.
00:15:09.468 --> 00:15:12.471
Is a second thought. i know what i'm going to do
00:15:12.538 --> 00:15:15.007
I know what i'm going to do unless...
00:15:15.074 --> 00:15:16.875
Unless... (laughter)
00:15:16.942 --> 00:15:18.477
(laughter) i've made up my mind.
00:15:18.544 --> 00:15:20.846
I've made up my mind. what do you think?
00:15:20.913 --> 00:15:22.681
What do you think? (laughter)
00:15:22.748 --> 00:15:25.117
(laughter) now i'm not talking about you,
00:15:25.184 --> 00:15:26.151
Now i'm not talking about you, but maybe i'm talking about
00:15:26.218 --> 00:15:26.986
But maybe i'm talking about people you know.
00:15:27.052 --> 00:15:28.787
People you know. (laughter)
00:15:28.854 --> 00:15:30.322
(laughter) and something you need
00:15:30.389 --> 00:15:30.990
And something you need to understand,
00:15:31.056 --> 00:15:33.025
To understand, when you do something for god,
00:15:33.092 --> 00:15:35.361
When you do something for god, second thoughts are not
00:15:35.427 --> 00:15:36.662
Second thoughts are not your best thoughts.
00:15:36.729 --> 00:15:39.431
Your best thoughts. if you can't remember that,
00:15:39.498 --> 00:15:40.766
If you can't remember that, write it down.
00:15:40.833 --> 00:15:42.901
Write it down. when you do something for god,
00:15:42.968 --> 00:15:44.370
When you do something for god, second thoughts are not
00:15:44.436 --> 00:15:45.637
Second thoughts are not your best thoughts.
00:15:45.704 --> 00:15:47.439
Your best thoughts. why?
00:15:47.506 --> 00:15:49.375
Why? because you've asked god,
00:15:49.441 --> 00:15:50.609
Because you've asked god, "reveal to me what i need
00:15:50.676 --> 00:15:52.311
"reveal to me what i need to do."
00:15:52.378 --> 00:15:53.012
To do." and your first thought
00:15:53.078 --> 00:15:54.046
And your first thought is what he's telling you.
00:15:54.113 --> 00:15:55.848
Is what he's telling you. [amen!]
00:15:55.914 --> 00:15:57.016
[amen!] and the more second thoughts
00:15:57.082 --> 00:15:57.950
And the more second thoughts you have,
00:15:58.017 --> 00:15:58.684
You have, the more your reasons begin to
00:15:58.751 --> 00:16:00.552
The more your reasons begin to peel his revelation to pieces.
00:16:00.619 --> 00:16:05.224
Peel his revelation to pieces. when you do something for god,
00:16:05.290 --> 00:16:06.959
When you do something for god, don't hesitate to do it.
00:16:07.026 --> 00:16:08.761
Don't hesitate to do it. the bible says,
00:16:08.827 --> 00:16:09.361
The bible says, when david saw goliath coming,
00:16:09.428 --> 00:16:11.163
When david saw goliath coming, he ran to him.
00:16:11.230 --> 00:16:12.598
He ran to him. why?
00:16:12.664 --> 00:16:12.998
Why? because he knew that god was
00:16:13.065 --> 00:16:14.466
Because he knew that god was going to deliver that enemy
00:16:14.533 --> 00:16:16.001
Going to deliver that enemy into his hand.
00:16:16.068 --> 00:16:17.703
Into his hand. don't hesitate to do something
00:16:17.770 --> 00:16:18.871
Don't hesitate to do something for god,
00:16:18.937 --> 00:16:19.638
For god, but do it according to the word
00:16:19.705 --> 00:16:20.773
But do it according to the word of god.
00:16:20.839 --> 00:16:21.306
Of god. do it with all of your heart.
00:16:21.373 --> 00:16:22.474
Do it with all of your heart. do it with all of your soul.
00:16:22.541 --> 00:16:23.709
Do it with all of your soul. do it with all of your mind.
00:16:23.776 --> 00:16:24.943
Do it with all of your mind. do it with all
00:16:25.010 --> 00:16:25.611
Do it with all of your strength.
00:16:25.677 --> 00:16:26.311
Of your strength. do it with all that you've got,
00:16:26.378 --> 00:16:28.313
Do it with all that you've got, because if god be for you,
00:16:28.380 --> 00:16:30.516
Because if god be for you, who can be against you?
00:16:30.582 --> 00:16:34.553
Who can be against you? (applause)
00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:40.726
(applause) how many million-dollar ideas
00:16:40.793 --> 00:16:42.461
How many million-dollar ideas and brilliant companies were
00:16:42.528 --> 00:16:44.096
And brilliant companies were forfeited to second thoughts?
00:16:44.163 --> 00:16:46.465
Forfeited to second thoughts? how many promises came from
00:16:46.532 --> 00:16:47.833
How many promises came from heaven above and were acted
00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:49.535
Heaven above and were acted upon for nothing,
00:16:49.601 --> 00:16:50.736
Upon for nothing, because of second thoughts?
00:16:50.803 --> 00:16:52.571
Because of second thoughts? why didn't the children of
00:16:52.638 --> 00:16:53.472
Why didn't the children of israel walk into the promised
00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:54.740
Israel walk into the promised land the first time?
00:16:54.807 --> 00:16:56.108
Land the first time? second thoughts.
00:16:56.175 --> 00:16:58.811
Second thoughts. the lord is your keeper.
00:16:58.877 --> 00:17:00.112
The lord is your keeper. the lord is your helper.
00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:01.914
The lord is your helper. put your foot down in faith
00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:03.582
Put your foot down in faith believing today.
00:17:03.649 --> 00:17:04.716
Believing today. take a stand,
00:17:04.783 --> 00:17:05.751
Take a stand, because god will not fail you.
00:17:05.818 --> 00:17:10.255
Because god will not fail you. [amen!]
00:17:10.322 --> 00:17:10.923
[amen!] god not only helps with
00:17:10.989 --> 00:17:11.990
God not only helps with your confidence,
00:17:12.057 --> 00:17:12.724
Your confidence, but god helps when you're
00:17:12.791 --> 00:17:14.159
But god helps when you're weary.
00:17:14.226 --> 00:17:16.195
Weary. god helps when you're tired.
00:17:16.261 --> 00:17:19.198
God helps when you're tired. hezekiah says,
00:17:19.264 --> 00:17:19.965
Hezekiah says, "he who keeps israel,
00:17:20.032 --> 00:17:21.033
"he who keeps israel, he neither slumbers,
00:17:21.100 --> 00:17:22.634
He neither slumbers, nor he sleeps."
00:17:22.701 --> 00:17:24.670
Nor he sleeps." "the lord is your keeper.
00:17:24.736 --> 00:17:26.438
"the lord is your keeper. he who keeps you
00:17:26.505 --> 00:17:27.539
He who keeps you neither slumbers nor sleeps."
00:17:27.606 --> 00:17:29.274
Neither slumbers nor sleeps." god is saying to you,
00:17:29.341 --> 00:17:30.476
God is saying to you, you can rest,
00:17:30.542 --> 00:17:31.944
You can rest, because i will not.
00:17:32.010 --> 00:17:35.180
Because i will not. the first tendency of everyone
00:17:35.247 --> 00:17:36.281
The first tendency of everyone who takes a stand for god
00:17:36.348 --> 00:17:37.783
Who takes a stand for god is that they believe
00:17:37.850 --> 00:17:38.517
Is that they believe that everything is up to them.
00:17:38.584 --> 00:17:40.385
That everything is up to them. i have to keep going.
00:17:40.452 --> 00:17:41.954
I have to keep going. i can't give up.
00:17:42.020 --> 00:17:43.021
I can't give up. i can't quit.
00:17:43.088 --> 00:17:44.056
I can't quit. i can't slow down.
00:17:44.123 --> 00:17:45.224
I can't slow down. if i slow down,
00:17:45.290 --> 00:17:45.924
If i slow down, then something's going to go
00:17:45.991 --> 00:17:46.892
Then something's going to go wrong.
00:17:46.959 --> 00:17:47.493
Wrong. if i give up,
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:48.093
If i give up, then the enemy's going to take
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:48.994
Then the enemy's going to take over.
00:17:49.061 --> 00:17:49.695
Over. and i understand what it feels
00:17:49.761 --> 00:17:51.463
And i understand what it feels like to have the pressure of
00:17:51.530 --> 00:17:53.065
Like to have the pressure of a battle in front of you.
00:17:53.132 --> 00:17:55.434
A battle in front of you. there are times when your
00:17:55.501 --> 00:17:56.568
There are times when your fortitude and your endurance
00:17:56.635 --> 00:17:58.670
Fortitude and your endurance are a measure
00:17:58.737 --> 00:17:59.204
Are a measure of your faithfulness.
00:17:59.271 --> 00:18:01.373
Of your faithfulness. but whenever you push yourself
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:02.674
But whenever you push yourself to physical exhaustion,
00:18:02.741 --> 00:18:04.076
To physical exhaustion, you've turned your faithfulness
00:18:04.143 --> 00:18:05.377
You've turned your faithfulness into foolishness.
00:18:05.444 --> 00:18:07.479
Into foolishness. why?
00:18:07.546 --> 00:18:09.348
Why? because a lack of rest
00:18:09.414 --> 00:18:10.616
Because a lack of rest demonstrates your lack of trust
00:18:10.682 --> 00:18:12.451
Demonstrates your lack of trust in god.
00:18:12.518 --> 00:18:14.786
In god. god said,
00:18:14.853 --> 00:18:16.588
God said, "six days you shall work."
00:18:16.655 --> 00:18:18.757
"six days you shall work." one day you shall rest.
00:18:18.824 --> 00:18:21.927
One day you shall rest. it's one thing for you to do
00:18:21.994 --> 00:18:23.128
It's one thing for you to do your part in six days.
00:18:23.195 --> 00:18:24.997
Your part in six days. but when you try to do
00:18:25.063 --> 00:18:25.764
But when you try to do god's part on the seventh day,
00:18:25.831 --> 00:18:27.666
God's part on the seventh day, you've put too much
00:18:27.733 --> 00:18:28.600
You've put too much on yourself.
00:18:28.667 --> 00:18:31.737
On yourself. what god is saying to you is
00:18:31.803 --> 00:18:33.605
What god is saying to you is you can rest because i neither
00:18:33.672 --> 00:18:36.008
You can rest because i neither slumber, nor do i sleep.
00:18:36.074 --> 00:18:39.044
Slumber, nor do i sleep. you can rest,
00:18:39.111 --> 00:18:40.145
You can rest, because i will not.
00:18:40.212 --> 00:18:41.747
Because i will not. mother, i want to tell you
00:18:41.813 --> 00:18:42.714
Mother, i want to tell you today,
00:18:42.781 --> 00:18:43.382
Today, you can rest,
00:18:43.448 --> 00:18:44.550
You can rest, because god's watching over
00:18:44.616 --> 00:18:45.517
Because god's watching over your children.
00:18:45.584 --> 00:18:47.352
Your children. businessman,
00:18:47.419 --> 00:18:47.953
Businessman, i want you to know today,
00:18:48.020 --> 00:18:48.954
I want you to know today, you can rest,
00:18:49.021 --> 00:18:49.955
You can rest, because god's watching over
00:18:50.022 --> 00:18:50.989
Because god's watching over your finances.
00:18:51.056 --> 00:18:52.591
Your finances. father, you can rest today,
00:18:52.658 --> 00:18:54.159
Father, you can rest today, because god's watching over

Because god's watching over your home.
00:18:55.294 --> 00:18:56.195
Your home. you can rest today,
00:18:56.261 --> 00:18:57.362
You can rest today, because god's watching over
00:18:57.429 --> 00:18:58.497
Because god's watching over your physical body.
00:18:58.564 --> 00:18:59.665
Your physical body. you can rest today,
00:18:59.731 --> 00:19:00.799
You can rest today, because god's watching over
00:19:00.866 --> 00:19:02.000
Because god's watching over your church.
00:19:02.067 --> 00:19:02.834
Your church. you can rest today,
00:19:02.901 --> 00:19:03.902
You can rest today, because god's watching over
00:19:03.969 --> 00:19:05.037
Because god's watching over your school.
00:19:05.103 --> 00:19:05.904
Your school. you can rest today,
00:19:05.971 --> 00:19:07.005
You can rest today, because god's watches over
00:19:07.072 --> 00:19:08.240
Because god's watches over the whole world.
00:19:08.307 --> 00:19:09.308
The whole world. nothing has escaped his eye.
00:19:09.374 --> 00:19:11.476
Nothing has escaped his eye. rest in his promises,
00:19:11.543 --> 00:19:13.111
Rest in his promises, because his promises are yes
00:19:13.178 --> 00:19:14.880
Because his promises are yes and amen in christ jesus!
00:19:14.947 --> 00:19:17.216
And amen in christ jesus! and god will not let you down!
00:19:17.282 --> 00:19:21.587
And god will not let you down! (applause)
00:19:21.653 --> 00:19:27.025
(applause) god helps you with rest.
00:19:27.092 --> 00:19:29.528
God helps you with rest. and then hezekiah says that god
00:19:29.595 --> 00:19:30.929
And then hezekiah says that god keeps you from evil.
00:19:30.996 --> 00:19:34.199
Keeps you from evil. "the lord shall preserve you
00:19:34.266 --> 00:19:36.301
"the lord shall preserve you from all evil."
00:19:36.368 --> 00:19:37.536
From all evil." how much evil?
00:19:37.603 --> 00:19:38.704
How much evil? all.
00:19:38.770 --> 00:19:40.639
All. now understand that this word
00:19:40.706 --> 00:19:41.974
Now understand that this word "evil" that we read
00:19:42.040 --> 00:19:42.841
"evil" that we read in psalm 121,
00:19:42.908 --> 00:19:44.109
In psalm 121, when you take the hebrew word
00:19:44.176 --> 00:19:45.644
When you take the hebrew word and you translate it
00:19:45.711 --> 00:19:46.511
And you translate it to the modern language,
00:19:46.578 --> 00:19:48.847
To the modern language, this word literally means
00:19:48.914 --> 00:19:50.282
This word literally means the destruction of all
00:19:50.349 --> 00:19:52.050
The destruction of all that is good.
00:19:52.117 --> 00:19:54.319
That is good. this is not people wanting
00:19:54.386 --> 00:19:55.587
This is not people wanting to do bad things to you.
00:19:55.654 --> 00:19:56.989
To do bad things to you. this is people who want to
00:19:57.055 --> 00:19:57.956
This is people who want to destroy you and all
00:19:58.023 --> 00:19:59.658
Destroy you and all that is good with you.
00:19:59.725 --> 00:20:01.660
That is good with you. and hezekiah says,
00:20:01.727 --> 00:20:02.461
And hezekiah says, when that kind of evil
00:20:02.527 --> 00:20:03.295
When that kind of evil shows up,
00:20:03.362 --> 00:20:04.630
Shows up, god will preserve you.
00:20:04.696 --> 00:20:07.299
God will preserve you. god won't let it come near you.
00:20:07.366 --> 00:20:10.235
God won't let it come near you. he'll take care of you in
00:20:10.302 --> 00:20:11.270
He'll take care of you in your going out and your coming
00:20:11.336 --> 00:20:12.237
Your going out and your coming in from this time
00:20:12.304 --> 00:20:13.472
In from this time and forevermore.
00:20:13.538 --> 00:20:14.406
And forevermore. it's not a 30-day,
00:20:14.473 --> 00:20:15.340
It's not a 30-day, money-back guarantee.
00:20:15.407 --> 00:20:16.441
Money-back guarantee. it is a lifetime
00:20:16.508 --> 00:20:17.442
It is a lifetime and eternal promise.
00:20:17.509 --> 00:20:20.612
And eternal promise. (applause)
00:20:20.679 --> 00:20:25.250
(applause) now why is that important?
00:20:25.317 --> 00:20:27.786
Now why is that important? because, church,
00:20:27.853 --> 00:20:28.720
Because, church, we live in an evil day.
00:20:28.787 --> 00:20:31.490
We live in an evil day. we live in a time when
00:20:31.556 --> 00:20:32.557
We live in a time when the world that we're in wants
00:20:32.624 --> 00:20:33.859
The world that we're in wants to destroy all that is good.
00:20:33.925 --> 00:20:38.130
To destroy all that is good. it wants to destroy faith.
00:20:38.196 --> 00:20:40.899
It wants to destroy faith. it wants to take the word
00:20:40.966 --> 00:20:42.534
It wants to take the word of god and label it
00:20:42.601 --> 00:20:43.602
Of god and label it "hate speech."
00:20:43.669 --> 00:20:45.570
"hate speech." because while this word
00:20:45.637 --> 00:20:46.672
Because while this word is inerrant,
00:20:46.738 --> 00:20:47.906
Is inerrant, meaning that it is not wrong,
00:20:47.973 --> 00:20:49.408
Meaning that it is not wrong, it is not politically correct.
00:20:49.474 --> 00:20:51.209
It is not politically correct. but i promise you this;
00:20:51.276 --> 00:20:52.144
But i promise you this; i'd rather be right with god
00:20:52.210 --> 00:20:53.879
I'd rather be right with god and wrong with man,
00:20:53.945 --> 00:20:55.080
And wrong with man, than right with man
00:20:55.147 --> 00:20:56.081
Than right with man and wrong with god.
00:20:56.148 --> 00:20:58.450
And wrong with god. (applause)
00:20:58.517 --> 00:21:00.319
(applause) so what does evil do whenever
00:21:00.385 --> 00:21:02.187
So what does evil do whenever you have this battle going on
00:21:02.254 --> 00:21:03.855
You have this battle going on between good and evil,
00:21:03.922 --> 00:21:05.157
Between good and evil, light and darkness?
00:21:05.223 --> 00:21:06.024
Light and darkness? the number one tactic of evil
00:21:06.091 --> 00:21:07.526
The number one tactic of evil is that it hates anyone
00:21:07.592 --> 00:21:09.828
Is that it hates anyone who takes a stand.
00:21:09.895 --> 00:21:12.030
Who takes a stand. why did sennacherib want
00:21:12.097 --> 00:21:13.131
Why did sennacherib want hezekiah dead?
00:21:13.198 --> 00:21:14.599
Hezekiah dead? because hezekiah took a stand.
00:21:14.666 --> 00:21:17.102
Because hezekiah took a stand. what did jesus say?
00:21:17.169 --> 00:21:18.737
What did jesus say? jesus said,
00:21:18.804 --> 00:21:19.371
Jesus said, "the world hates me
00:21:19.438 --> 00:21:20.806
"the world hates me and the world will hate you."
00:21:20.872 --> 00:21:23.308
And the world will hate you." but then he said,
00:21:23.375 --> 00:21:23.842
But then he said, "be of good cheer;
00:21:23.909 --> 00:21:25.043
"be of good cheer; i've overcome the world."
00:21:25.110 --> 00:21:26.845
I've overcome the world." [amen!]
00:21:26.912 --> 00:21:28.380
[amen!] (applause)
00:21:28.447 --> 00:21:30.682
(applause) why do they hate
00:21:30.749 --> 00:21:31.316
Why do they hate bible-believing christians
00:21:31.383 --> 00:21:33.051
Bible-believing christians in the world today?
00:21:33.118 --> 00:21:33.885
In the world today? it's okay to call yourself
00:21:33.952 --> 00:21:35.320
It's okay to call yourself a christian.
00:21:35.387 --> 00:21:36.121
A christian. christians, good.
00:21:36.188 --> 00:21:37.989
Christians, good. bible-believing christians?
00:21:38.056 --> 00:21:39.691
Bible-believing christians? oh, no, it's them again.
00:21:39.758 --> 00:21:42.160
Oh, no, it's them again. (laughter)
00:21:42.227 --> 00:21:44.129
(laughter) why?
00:21:44.196 --> 00:21:45.897
Why? because if you are
00:21:45.964 --> 00:21:46.498
Because if you are a bible-believer,
00:21:46.565 --> 00:21:47.532
A bible-believer, sooner or later,
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:48.367
Sooner or later, you've got to take a stand.
00:21:48.433 --> 00:21:51.136
You've got to take a stand. you've either got to stand upon
00:21:51.203 --> 00:21:52.337
You've either got to stand upon what this book says or you've
00:21:52.404 --> 00:21:53.572
What this book says or you've got to pretend like this book
00:21:53.638 --> 00:21:54.773
Got to pretend like this book doesn't exist.
00:21:54.840 --> 00:21:55.674
Doesn't exist. you can't have it both ways.
00:21:55.741 --> 00:21:58.009
You can't have it both ways. [amen!]
00:21:58.076 --> 00:21:59.077
[amen!] think about where we see evil
00:21:59.144 --> 00:22:00.979
Think about where we see evil turning against good in the
00:22:01.046 --> 00:22:02.514
Turning against good in the world that we live in today.
00:22:02.581 --> 00:22:03.548
World that we live in today. why do they hate chick-fil-a?
00:22:03.615 --> 00:22:04.950
Why do they hate chick-fil-a? because of a sandwich?
00:22:05.016 --> 00:22:06.852
Because of a sandwich? (laughter)
00:22:06.918 --> 00:22:08.320
(laughter) no.
00:22:08.387 --> 00:22:10.288
No. because they're not ashamed
00:22:10.355 --> 00:22:11.356
Because they're not ashamed to take a stand for faith
00:22:11.423 --> 00:22:13.024
To take a stand for faith and family values.
00:22:13.091 --> 00:22:14.059
And family values. but i say,
00:22:14.126 --> 00:22:14.760
But i say, god bless the cathy family
00:22:14.826 --> 00:22:16.395
God bless the cathy family and their organization.
00:22:16.461 --> 00:22:18.497
And their organization. (applause)
00:22:18.563 --> 00:22:23.869
(applause) consider what you've seen
00:22:23.935 --> 00:22:24.836
Consider what you've seen recently in the resurgence
00:22:24.903 --> 00:22:26.071
Recently in the resurgence of sports,
00:22:26.138 --> 00:22:26.805
Of sports, as athletes are taking a knee
00:22:26.872 --> 00:22:28.273
As athletes are taking a knee to protest the united states.
00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:30.008
To protest the united states. there are individuals who are
00:22:30.075 --> 00:22:31.176
There are individuals who are choosing to take a stand.
00:22:31.243 --> 00:22:32.511
Choosing to take a stand. why?
00:22:32.577 --> 00:22:33.145
Why? because they've said very
00:22:33.211 --> 00:22:33.945
Because they've said very clearly,
00:22:34.012 --> 00:22:34.713
Clearly, we're bible-believing
00:22:34.780 --> 00:22:35.647
We're bible-believing christians and we do not feel
00:22:35.714 --> 00:22:37.048
Christians and we do not feel that you should kneel before
00:22:37.115 --> 00:22:38.183
That you should kneel before anything except jesus christ,
00:22:38.250 --> 00:22:40.085
Anything except jesus christ, the lord your god.
00:22:40.152 --> 00:22:42.554
The lord your god. (applause)
00:22:42.621 --> 00:22:53.098
(applause) why are they being targeted?
00:22:53.165 --> 00:22:54.299
Why are they being targeted? they're being targeted because
00:22:54.366 --> 00:22:55.400
They're being targeted because they have what evil hates.
00:22:55.467 --> 00:22:57.235
They have what evil hates. do you know what evil hates?
00:22:57.302 --> 00:22:58.570
Do you know what evil hates? evil hates conviction.
00:22:58.637 --> 00:23:01.406
Evil hates conviction. [amen!]
00:23:01.473 --> 00:23:02.240
[amen!] people who believe what they
00:23:02.307 --> 00:23:03.475
People who believe what they believe whether you like it
00:23:03.542 --> 00:23:04.643
Believe whether you like it or not.
00:23:04.709 --> 00:23:06.411
Or not. consider a church that's
00:23:06.478 --> 00:23:07.345
Consider a church that's willing to take a stand.
00:23:07.412 --> 00:23:09.147
Willing to take a stand. you're not going to be loved
00:23:09.214 --> 00:23:11.049
You're not going to be loved by those who despise what you
00:23:11.116 --> 00:23:12.384
By those who despise what you believe in.
00:23:12.451 --> 00:23:13.885
Believe in. jesus said,
00:23:13.952 --> 00:23:15.454
Jesus said, "blessed are you when they
00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:17.656
"blessed are you when they speak evil and all
00:23:17.722 --> 00:23:18.757
Speak evil and all take manner against you
00:23:18.824 --> 00:23:19.724
Take manner against you for my name sake.
00:23:19.791 --> 00:23:21.493
For my name sake. for great is your reward
00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:23.061
For great is your reward in heaven.
00:23:23.128 --> 00:23:23.829
In heaven. rejoice and be exceedingly
00:23:23.895 --> 00:23:25.797
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad."
00:23:25.864 --> 00:23:26.898
Glad." (applause)
00:23:26.965 --> 00:23:27.566
(applause) church, based on that promise,
00:23:27.632 --> 00:23:29.000
Church, based on that promise, if the light of the world
00:23:29.067 --> 00:23:30.068
If the light of the world will shine,
00:23:30.135 --> 00:23:31.203
Will shine, we can rejoice
00:23:31.269 --> 00:23:32.270
We can rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
00:23:32.337 --> 00:23:33.905
And be exceedingly glad, because our hope is not built
00:23:33.972 --> 00:23:35.841
Because our hope is not built on the approval ratings
00:23:35.907 --> 00:23:36.942
On the approval ratings of the public.
00:23:37.008 --> 00:23:37.909
Of the public. and our peace will not come
00:23:37.976 --> 00:23:39.711
And our peace will not come with a compromise
00:23:39.778 --> 00:23:40.779
With a compromise with the world, the flesh,
00:23:40.846 --> 00:23:41.646
With the world, the flesh, and the devil.
00:23:41.713 --> 00:23:42.447
And the devil. our joy is not based on
00:23:42.514 --> 00:23:44.516
Our joy is not based on man's opinion.
00:23:44.583 --> 00:23:45.617
Man's opinion. and our help does not come from
00:23:45.684 --> 00:23:47.552
And our help does not come from a counsel chamber,
00:23:47.619 --> 00:23:48.887
A counsel chamber, a congressional district,
00:23:48.954 --> 00:23:50.222
A congressional district, or a government building.
00:23:50.288 --> 00:23:51.556
Or a government building. our help comes from the lord!
00:23:51.623 --> 00:23:54.926
Our help comes from the lord! our help comes from the lord!
00:23:54.993 --> 00:23:58.029
Our help comes from the lord! our hope is built on nothing
00:23:58.096 --> 00:24:00.031
Our hope is built on nothing less than jesus' blood
00:24:00.098 --> 00:24:02.100
Less than jesus' blood and righteousness.
00:24:02.167 --> 00:24:03.368
And righteousness. we dare not trust
00:24:03.435 --> 00:24:04.769
We dare not trust the sweetest frame,
00:24:04.836 --> 00:24:06.104
The sweetest frame, but wholly lean on jesus' name.
00:24:06.171 --> 00:24:08.640
But wholly lean on jesus' name. on christ the solid rock
