♪ music ♪ pastor matt hagee: we are
00:00:14.108 --> 00:00:14.975
Pastor matt hagee: we are a nation in need of truth.
00:00:15.042 --> 00:00:17.611
A nation in need of truth. but what is truth
00:00:17.678 --> 00:00:19.313
But what is truth and what do we do with truth?
00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:21.816
And what do we do with truth? jesus said very clearly,
00:00:21.882 --> 00:00:23.551
Jesus said very clearly, "you shall know the truth
00:00:23.617 --> 00:00:25.986
"you shall know the truth and the truth
00:00:26.053 --> 00:00:27.221
And the truth shall make you free."
00:00:27.288 --> 00:00:29.023
Shall make you free." these are two different
00:00:29.090 --> 00:00:29.890
These are two different statements that are put
00:00:29.957 --> 00:00:30.991
Statements that are put together in the context
00:00:31.058 --> 00:00:32.460
Together in the context of this conversation.
00:00:32.526 --> 00:00:33.527
Of this conversation. first is the knowledge
00:00:33.594 --> 00:00:35.396
First is the knowledge of truth,
00:00:35.463 --> 00:00:36.831
Of truth, and then is what do you do
00:00:36.897 --> 00:00:38.866
And then is what do you do with the truth you know?
00:00:38.933 --> 00:00:41.302
With the truth you know? often times,
00:00:41.368 --> 00:00:42.169
Often times, whenever we know the truth,
00:00:42.236 --> 00:00:43.804
Whenever we know the truth, we pretend that we're ignorant
00:00:43.871 --> 00:00:45.139
We pretend that we're ignorant of it,
00:00:45.206 --> 00:00:45.639
Of it, because we do not want
00:00:45.706 --> 00:00:46.574
Because we do not want the responsibility of living
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.075
The responsibility of living under it.
00:00:48.142 --> 00:00:50.444
Under it. said candidly,
00:00:50.511 --> 00:00:51.579
Said candidly, we call it "playing dumb."
00:00:51.645 --> 00:00:55.549
We call it "playing dumb." but the reality of it is,
00:00:55.616 --> 00:00:56.650
But the reality of it is, is it doesn't matter whether
00:00:56.717 --> 00:00:57.651
Is it doesn't matter whether you ignore the truth,
00:00:57.718 --> 00:00:58.686
You ignore the truth, debate the truth,
00:00:58.752 --> 00:00:59.653
Debate the truth, argue the truth,
00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:00.855
Argue the truth, or don't apply the truth;
00:01:00.921 --> 00:01:02.223
Or don't apply the truth; no matter what you do
00:01:02.289 --> 00:01:03.157
No matter what you do with truth,
00:01:03.224 --> 00:01:03.791
With truth, truth does not change.
00:01:03.858 --> 00:01:06.660
Truth does not change. [amen!]
00:01:06.727 --> 00:01:07.828
[amen!] and we are a nation in
00:01:07.895 --> 00:01:08.963
And we are a nation in desperate need of truth.
00:01:09.029 --> 00:01:11.966
Desperate need of truth. there's all kinds of arguments
00:01:12.032 --> 00:01:13.200
There's all kinds of arguments that are happening in our world
00:01:13.267 --> 00:01:14.635
That are happening in our world today.
00:01:14.702 --> 00:01:15.069
Today. we're arguing about who should
00:01:15.136 --> 00:01:16.470
We're arguing about who should be in control and who is out
00:01:16.537 --> 00:01:18.606
Be in control and who is out of control.
00:01:18.672 --> 00:01:19.640
Of control. we're arguing about who should
00:01:19.707 --> 00:01:20.808
We're arguing about who should be defunded,
00:01:20.875 --> 00:01:21.842
Be defunded, who needs to be refunded,
00:01:21.909 --> 00:01:23.444
Who needs to be refunded, and who's overfunded.
00:01:23.511 --> 00:01:26.046
And who's overfunded. let me tell you something.
00:01:26.113 --> 00:01:26.614
Let me tell you something. if you want to defund people,
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.082
If you want to defund people, who kill innocent people,
00:01:28.149 --> 00:01:29.150
Who kill innocent people, defund planned parenthood.
00:01:29.216 --> 00:01:32.086
Defund planned parenthood. (applause)
00:01:32.153 --> 00:01:39.493
(applause) if you want to refund somebody,
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.128
If you want to refund somebody, refund taxpayers whose
00:01:41.195 --> 00:01:42.696
Refund taxpayers whose tax dollars you've wasted
00:01:42.763 --> 00:01:44.131
Tax dollars you've wasted on government programs.
00:01:44.198 --> 00:01:46.667
On government programs. (applause)
00:01:46.734 --> 00:01:48.502
(applause) and if you want to know
00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:49.270
And if you want to know who's overfunded,
00:01:49.336 --> 00:01:50.237
Who's overfunded, celebrities and sports stars,
00:01:50.304 --> 00:01:51.839
Celebrities and sports stars, who think their talents
00:01:51.906 --> 00:01:52.973
Who think their talents and their wages give them
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:54.208
And their wages give them a certified expert opinion.
00:01:54.275 --> 00:01:56.143
A certified expert opinion. they're overfunded.
00:01:56.210 --> 00:01:58.145
They're overfunded. (applause)
00:01:58.212 --> 00:02:03.184
(applause) we argue about who's essential
00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:04.785
We argue about who's essential and who's non-essential.
00:02:04.852 --> 00:02:06.387
And who's non-essential. we argue about what needs
00:02:06.453 --> 00:02:07.588
We argue about what needs to be done and how to do it.
00:02:07.655 --> 00:02:09.657
To be done and how to do it. and the reality is the louder
00:02:09.723 --> 00:02:10.925
And the reality is the louder the arguments get,
00:02:10.991 --> 00:02:11.992
The arguments get, the more we have forgotten how
00:02:12.059 --> 00:02:13.460
The more we have forgotten how to solve problems.
00:02:13.527 --> 00:02:15.329
To solve problems. look back at the 240 plus years
00:02:15.396 --> 00:02:17.665
Look back at the 240 plus years of our history.
00:02:17.731 --> 00:02:18.866
Of our history. and the way that this nation
00:02:18.933 --> 00:02:20.201
And the way that this nation has solved problems is not like
00:02:20.267 --> 00:02:21.902
Has solved problems is not like any other nation.
00:02:21.969 --> 00:02:23.003
Any other nation. it's not like any other state.
00:02:23.070 --> 00:02:24.705
It's not like any other state. it's not like any other
00:02:24.772 --> 00:02:26.073
It's not like any other geographic region of people.
00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:27.808
Geographic region of people. why?
00:02:27.875 --> 00:02:28.275
Why? because this is not any nation;
00:02:28.342 --> 00:02:30.311
Because this is not any nation; this is one nation under god.
00:02:30.377 --> 00:02:32.546
This is one nation under god. this is not any nation;
00:02:32.613 --> 00:02:33.981
This is not any nation; these are the united states
00:02:34.048 --> 00:02:36.317
These are the united states of america.
00:02:36.383 --> 00:02:37.218
Of america. and it's when we are united
00:02:37.284 --> 00:02:38.786
And it's when we are united that we experience what
00:02:38.852 --> 00:02:39.954
That we experience what psalm 133 says, "behold,
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:42.489
Psalm 133 says, "behold, how pleasant and good it is
00:02:42.556 --> 00:02:43.857
How pleasant and good it is for brethren to dwell together
00:02:43.924 --> 00:02:45.226
For brethren to dwell together in unity;
00:02:45.292 --> 00:02:46.193
In unity; for there, i (god)
00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:48.262
For there, i (god) will command a blessing."
00:02:48.329 --> 00:02:51.265
Will command a blessing." our blessings do not come from
00:02:51.332 --> 00:02:52.700
Our blessings do not come from a political party.
00:02:52.766 --> 00:02:53.801
A political party. our blessings do not come from
00:02:53.867 --> 00:02:55.436
Our blessings do not come from a savvy economic scheme.
00:02:55.502 --> 00:02:57.171
A savvy economic scheme. our blessings do not come from
00:02:57.238 --> 00:02:59.406
Our blessings do not come from individuals,
00:02:59.473 --> 00:03:00.174
Individuals, who decide when and where we
00:03:00.241 --> 00:03:01.709
Who decide when and where we are going to receive them.
00:03:01.775 --> 00:03:03.077
Are going to receive them. our blessings come from the one
00:03:03.143 --> 00:03:04.845
Our blessings come from the one source that the bible says,
00:03:04.912 --> 00:03:06.380
Source that the bible says, "every good and perfect gift
00:03:06.447 --> 00:03:08.148
"every good and perfect gift comes from our father above,
00:03:08.215 --> 00:03:09.750
Comes from our father above, in whom there is no shadow
00:03:09.817 --> 00:03:11.218
In whom there is no shadow or variation of turning."
00:03:11.285 --> 00:03:12.786
Or variation of turning." church, our blessings;
00:03:12.853 --> 00:03:14.421

Boy, and girl, your blessings come from
00:03:18.225 --> 00:03:19.727
Your blessings come from the one and only true god
00:03:19.793 --> 00:03:21.895
The one and only true god who sits on the throne
00:03:21.962 --> 00:03:23.163
Who sits on the throne in heaven above!
00:03:23.230 --> 00:03:25.499
In heaven above! (applause)
00:03:25.566 --> 00:03:26.267
(applause) the truth is,
00:03:26.333 --> 00:03:26.867
The truth is, in this nation,
00:03:26.934 --> 00:03:27.768
In this nation, we like to treat symptoms
00:03:27.835 --> 00:03:29.236
We like to treat symptoms but we seldom find the cure.
00:03:29.303 --> 00:03:34.041
But we seldom find the cure. we say that our murder rate
00:03:34.108 --> 00:03:35.276
We say that our murder rate is a problem with gun control.
00:03:35.342 --> 00:03:36.644
Is a problem with gun control. we don't have a gun control
00:03:36.710 --> 00:03:37.811
We don't have a gun control problem;
00:03:37.878 --> 00:03:38.279
Problem; we've got a sin problem.
00:03:38.345 --> 00:03:40.381
We've got a sin problem. [amen!]
00:03:40.447 --> 00:03:42.116
[amen!] we say that our national debt
00:03:42.182 --> 00:03:43.617
We say that our national debt is a problem with the economy.
00:03:43.684 --> 00:03:45.085
Is a problem with the economy. we don't have an economic
00:03:45.152 --> 00:03:46.120
We don't have an economic problem;
00:03:46.186 --> 00:03:46.620
Problem; we've got a greed problem.
00:03:46.687 --> 00:03:47.888
We've got a greed problem. and a greed problem
00:03:47.955 --> 00:03:48.689
And a greed problem is a sin problem.
00:03:48.756 --> 00:03:50.524
Is a sin problem. [amen!]
00:03:50.591 --> 00:03:52.393
[amen!] you look at the world we live
00:03:52.459 --> 00:03:53.594
You look at the world we live in, and for every symptom,
00:03:53.661 --> 00:03:55.129
In, and for every symptom, there is one source.
00:03:55.195 --> 00:03:56.230
There is one source. and that source is sin.
00:03:56.297 --> 00:03:58.932
And that source is sin. [amen!]
00:03:58.999 --> 00:03:59.800
[amen!] i believe the words
00:03:59.867 --> 00:04:00.701
I believe the words of abraham lincoln when he
00:04:00.768 --> 00:04:01.802
Of abraham lincoln when he paraphrased the scriptures.
00:04:01.869 --> 00:04:03.437
Paraphrased the scriptures. jesus christ spoke and said,
00:04:03.504 --> 00:04:05.306
Jesus christ spoke and said, a kingdom divided against
00:04:05.372 --> 00:04:06.440
A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.
00:04:06.507 --> 00:04:09.343
Itself cannot stand. lincoln gave this speech when
00:04:09.410 --> 00:04:11.478
Lincoln gave this speech when he was running for office,
00:04:11.545 --> 00:04:12.546
He was running for office, in which he said,
00:04:12.613 --> 00:04:13.213
In which he said, "a nation divided against
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.581
"a nation divided against itself will not stand."
00:04:14.648 --> 00:04:15.916
Itself will not stand." he made the point that
00:04:15.983 --> 00:04:17.184
He made the point that if america was going to fall,
00:04:17.251 --> 00:04:18.919
If america was going to fall, it would fall from within
00:04:18.986 --> 00:04:20.754
It would fall from within and not from without.
00:04:20.821 --> 00:04:24.224
And not from without. his words were prophetic
00:04:24.291 --> 00:04:25.492
His words were prophetic for the world that we live in
00:04:25.559 --> 00:04:26.427
For the world that we live in today,
00:04:26.493 --> 00:04:27.594
Today, because we are destroying
00:04:27.661 --> 00:04:28.796
Because we are destroying ourselves on so many levels.
00:04:28.862 --> 00:04:30.331
Ourselves on so many levels. why?
00:04:30.397 --> 00:04:31.865
Why? the arrogance and the pride
00:04:31.932 --> 00:04:33.701
The arrogance and the pride of self-deception.
00:04:33.767 --> 00:04:36.503
Of self-deception. we believe we can do it
00:04:36.570 --> 00:04:39.106
We believe we can do it on our own.
00:04:39.173 --> 00:04:40.741
On our own. we can fix the economy
00:04:40.808 --> 00:04:42.109
We can fix the economy on our own.
00:04:42.176 --> 00:04:43.410
On our own. we can correct failing
00:04:43.477 --> 00:04:44.578
We can correct failing education on our own.
00:04:44.645 --> 00:04:45.713
Education on our own. we can resolve the race issue
00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:47.548
We can resolve the race issue on our own.
00:04:47.614 --> 00:04:48.349
On our own. we can right all of the wrongs
00:04:48.415 --> 00:04:50.284
We can right all of the wrongs on our own.
00:04:50.351 --> 00:04:50.984
On our own. we can overcome evil
00:04:51.051 --> 00:04:52.319
We can overcome evil on our own.
00:04:52.386 --> 00:04:52.986
On our own. we can make america great again
00:04:53.053 --> 00:04:54.822
We can make america great again on our own.
00:04:54.888 --> 00:04:55.622
On our own. none of that is true!
00:04:55.689 --> 00:04:56.990
None of that is true! why?
00:04:57.057 --> 00:04:57.458
Why? because the truth has not
00:04:57.524 --> 00:04:58.892
Because the truth has not changed!
00:04:58.959 --> 00:04:59.626
Changed! jesus christ said,
00:04:59.693 --> 00:05:00.794
Jesus christ said, "apart from me,
00:05:00.861 --> 00:05:01.862
"apart from me, you can do nothing."
00:05:01.929 --> 00:05:05.432
You can do nothing." it is time to put jesus christ
00:05:05.499 --> 00:05:07.101
It is time to put jesus christ back where he belongs,
00:05:07.167 --> 00:05:08.702
Back where he belongs, not in the book on the coffee
00:05:08.769 --> 00:05:10.003
Not in the book on the coffee table,
00:05:10.070 --> 00:05:10.738
Table, but sitting on the throne
00:05:10.804 --> 00:05:12.106
But sitting on the throne of our heart, soul,
00:05:12.172 --> 00:05:13.073
Of our heart, soul, mind, and body.
00:05:13.140 --> 00:05:14.208
Mind, and body. what we need is as a nation
00:05:14.274 --> 00:05:16.110
What we need is as a nation is truth.
00:05:16.176 --> 00:05:16.844
Is truth. we don't need truth that we
00:05:16.910 --> 00:05:18.245
We don't need truth that we want to hear and truth
00:05:18.312 --> 00:05:19.646
Want to hear and truth that makes us comfortable.
00:05:19.713 --> 00:05:21.014
That makes us comfortable. we need truth that makes
00:05:21.081 --> 00:05:22.316
We need truth that makes a difference.
00:05:22.383 --> 00:05:23.250
A difference. and that truth comes from god's
00:05:23.317 --> 00:05:24.885
And that truth comes from god's word and god's word alone.
00:05:24.952 --> 00:05:26.687
Word and god's word alone. we don't need a denominational
00:05:26.754 --> 00:05:28.222
We don't need a denominational takeover.
00:05:28.288 --> 00:05:29.089
Takeover. we don't need a political party
00:05:29.156 --> 00:05:30.624
We don't need a political party to be in power.
00:05:30.691 --> 00:05:31.725
To be in power. we don't need personal opinions
00:05:31.792 --> 00:05:33.494
We don't need personal opinions and beliefs to rain free.
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.329
And beliefs to rain free. what we need is to submit
00:05:35.396 --> 00:05:36.930
What we need is to submit ourselves to god's truth
00:05:36.997 --> 00:05:38.932
Ourselves to god's truth and let freedom ring from sea
00:05:38.999 --> 00:05:40.901
And let freedom ring from sea to shining sea!
00:05:40.968 --> 00:05:43.570
To shining sea! (applause)
00:05:43.637 --> 00:05:44.638
(applause) "you shall know the truth
00:05:44.705 --> 00:05:47.007
"you shall know the truth and the truth
00:05:47.074 --> 00:05:47.541
And the truth will make you free."
00:05:47.608 --> 00:05:49.843
Will make you free." but the one thing that we do
00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:50.844
But the one thing that we do not enjoy in this generation
00:05:50.911 --> 00:05:54.548
Not enjoy in this generation is truth.
00:05:54.615 --> 00:05:57.351
Is truth. as tolerant as we say we are,
00:05:57.418 --> 00:06:00.087
As tolerant as we say we are, the one thing we do not
00:06:00.154 --> 00:06:01.088
The one thing we do not tolerate well is truth.
00:06:01.155 --> 00:06:03.891
Tolerate well is truth. we've used the word "tolerance"
00:06:03.957 --> 00:06:05.492
We've used the word "tolerance" until it's lost its meaning.
00:06:05.559 --> 00:06:07.995
Until it's lost its meaning. we put it on t-shirts.
00:06:08.061 --> 00:06:09.029
We put it on t-shirts. we hashtag it.
00:06:09.096 --> 00:06:09.930
We hashtag it. we make it a bumper sticker.
00:06:09.997 --> 00:06:11.165
We make it a bumper sticker. we have all kinds of ways
00:06:11.231 --> 00:06:12.766
We have all kinds of ways to apply it.
00:06:12.833 --> 00:06:14.568
To apply it. we pretend that it can cure
00:06:14.635 --> 00:06:16.203
We pretend that it can cure all of the world's wrongs
00:06:16.270 --> 00:06:17.704
All of the world's wrongs until we sound absurd.
00:06:17.771 --> 00:06:20.374
Until we sound absurd. there are people who say,
00:06:20.441 --> 00:06:21.275
There are people who say, "well they'd just get along
00:06:21.341 --> 00:06:22.276
"well they'd just get along better in the middle east
00:06:22.342 --> 00:06:23.177
Better in the middle east and quit fighting if they could
00:06:23.243 --> 00:06:24.211
And quit fighting if they could just be tolerant."
00:06:24.278 --> 00:06:26.880
Just be tolerant." that's been going on
00:06:26.947 --> 00:06:27.781
That's been going on since jacob and esau,
00:06:27.848 --> 00:06:31.285
Since jacob and esau, so go ahead and tolerate that.
00:06:31.351 --> 00:06:33.821
So go ahead and tolerate that. (laughter)
00:06:33.887 --> 00:06:34.455
(laughter) we'd stop all forms of violence
00:06:34.521 --> 00:06:35.989
We'd stop all forms of violence in our cities if we could
00:06:36.056 --> 00:06:36.990
In our cities if we could just teach people to be patient
00:06:37.057 --> 00:06:38.492
Just teach people to be patient and tolerant.
00:06:38.559 --> 00:06:40.194
And tolerant. there would be no social
00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:41.228
There would be no social injustice if we could just be
00:06:41.295 --> 00:06:42.596
Injustice if we could just be tolerant.
00:06:42.663 --> 00:06:44.331
Tolerant. we strip the word down to
00:06:44.398 --> 00:06:45.999
We strip the word down to where nobody wants to even
00:06:46.066 --> 00:06:47.301
Where nobody wants to even pay attention to it
00:06:47.367 --> 00:06:48.268
Pay attention to it when you use it.
00:06:48.335 --> 00:06:49.336
When you use it. but the thing that we can
00:06:49.403 --> 00:06:50.471
But the thing that we can really truly agree upon
00:06:50.537 --> 00:06:51.672
Really truly agree upon that we do not tolerate
00:06:51.738 --> 00:06:53.340
That we do not tolerate is truth.
00:06:53.407 --> 00:06:55.342
Is truth. why?
00:06:55.409 --> 00:06:56.910
Why? because as long as you're
00:06:56.977 --> 00:06:57.911
Because as long as you're standing upon what you believe,
00:06:57.978 --> 00:06:59.713
Standing upon what you believe, and i'm standing upon
00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:00.681
And i'm standing upon what i believe,
00:07:00.747 --> 00:07:01.748
What i believe, we can tolerate each other's
00:07:01.815 --> 00:07:03.083
We can tolerate each other's differences of opinion.
00:07:03.150 --> 00:07:04.318
Differences of opinion. but the second we introduce
00:07:04.384 --> 00:07:05.452
But the second we introduce truth and we have to change
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.287
Truth and we have to change what we believe,
00:07:07.354 --> 00:07:08.322
What we believe, suddenly we become intolerant.
00:07:08.388 --> 00:07:12.292
Suddenly we become intolerant. when this truth
00:07:12.359 --> 00:07:13.293
When this truth is uncomfortable,
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.161
Is uncomfortable, we pretend it's confusing.
00:07:14.228 --> 00:07:17.731
We pretend it's confusing. how many people do you know
00:07:17.798 --> 00:07:18.999
How many people do you know pretend to be confused about
00:07:19.066 --> 00:07:20.534
Pretend to be confused about the things in god's word?
00:07:20.601 --> 00:07:23.537
The things in god's word? i have this conversation often;
00:07:23.604 --> 00:07:24.905
I have this conversation often; "pastor, i'm really confused
00:07:24.972 --> 00:07:26.640
"pastor, i'm really confused about what the bible says
00:07:26.707 --> 00:07:28.141
About what the bible says concerning giving."
00:07:28.208 --> 00:07:30.811
Concerning giving." (laughter)
00:07:30.878 --> 00:07:32.379
(laughter) okay.
00:07:32.446 --> 00:07:33.747
Okay. i'm going to break it down
00:07:33.814 --> 00:07:34.648
I'm going to break it down for you.
00:07:34.715 --> 00:07:36.517
For you. the bible says,
00:07:36.583 --> 00:07:37.918
The bible says, "give and it shall be given."
00:07:37.985 --> 00:07:43.390
"give and it shall be given." oh, some of y'all have read
00:07:43.457 --> 00:07:44.258
Oh, some of y'all have read that verse.
00:07:44.324 --> 00:07:45.626
That verse. (laughter)
00:07:45.692 --> 00:07:47.027
(laughter) the only thing that's confusing
00:07:47.094 --> 00:07:48.595
The only thing that's confusing is that you haven't adjusted
00:07:48.662 --> 00:07:50.297
Is that you haven't adjusted to truth.
00:07:50.364 --> 00:07:52.966
To truth. truth is uncomfortable.
00:07:53.033 --> 00:07:54.134
Truth is uncomfortable. we pretend it's confusing.
00:07:54.201 --> 00:07:56.169
We pretend it's confusing. truth is unpopular.
00:07:56.236 --> 00:07:57.671
Truth is unpopular. we like to ignore it.
00:07:57.738 --> 00:08:00.107
We like to ignore it. i'm not going to speak
00:08:00.173 --> 00:08:00.908
I'm not going to speak the truth;
00:08:00.974 --> 00:08:01.542
The truth; i don't want to lose favor
00:08:01.608 --> 00:08:02.442
I don't want to lose favor with my friend.
00:08:02.509 --> 00:08:04.177
With my friend. and that truth brings with it
00:08:04.244 --> 00:08:05.279
And that truth brings with it a burden.
00:08:05.345 --> 00:08:07.447
A burden. that burden is
00:08:07.514 --> 00:08:08.282
That burden is the responsibility to apply it
00:08:08.348 --> 00:08:09.783
The responsibility to apply it to your life,
00:08:09.850 --> 00:08:11.685
To your life, because truth that isn't
00:08:11.752 --> 00:08:12.753
Because truth that isn't applied will not bless you.
00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:15.155
Applied will not bless you. truth that isn't applied
00:08:15.222 --> 00:08:17.291
Truth that isn't applied will burden you.
00:08:17.357 --> 00:08:19.259
Will burden you. here's what jesus had to say in
00:08:19.326 --> 00:08:20.561
Here's what jesus had to say in matthew 11:28 and 30;
00:08:20.627 --> 00:08:24.064
Matthew 11:28 and 30; he said, "all ye who are
00:08:24.131 --> 00:08:26.300
He said, "all ye who are heavy laden and burdened,
00:08:26.366 --> 00:08:29.102
Heavy laden and burdened, come unto me and i will give
00:08:29.169 --> 00:08:30.370
Come unto me and i will give you rest.
00:08:30.437 --> 00:08:31.772
You rest. take my yoke upon you;
00:08:31.838 --> 00:08:33.674
Take my yoke upon you; for my yoke is easy
00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:34.875
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
00:08:34.942 --> 00:08:38.111
And my burden is light." i want you to see the yoke that
00:08:38.178 --> 00:08:39.313
I want you to see the yoke that jesus christ was speaking
00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:40.447
Jesus christ was speaking about.
00:08:40.514 --> 00:08:41.014
About. i've got one set over here,
00:08:41.081 --> 00:08:42.749
I've got one set over here, if i could get the production
00:08:42.816 --> 00:08:43.784
If i could get the production assistants to bring it.
00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:45.419
Assistants to bring it. and i want you to understand
00:08:45.485 --> 00:08:46.520
And i want you to understand this;
00:08:46.587 --> 00:08:47.187
This; when jesus christ in matthew
00:08:47.254 --> 00:08:48.488
When jesus christ in matthew is talking about "a yoke,"
00:08:48.555 --> 00:08:50.324
Is talking about "a yoke," he's using the same word that
00:08:50.390 --> 00:08:52.392
He's using the same word that is also described in scales.
00:08:52.459 --> 00:08:55.395
Is also described in scales. we're talking about balancing
00:08:55.462 --> 00:08:56.630
We're talking about balancing scales.
00:08:56.697 --> 00:08:57.497
Scales. and the greek word for "scales"
00:08:57.564 --> 00:08:58.999
And the greek word for "scales" is "zygan."
00:08:59.066 --> 00:09:01.101
Is "zygan." the greek word for "yoke"
00:09:01.168 --> 00:09:02.369
The greek word for "yoke" is "zygan."
00:09:02.436 --> 00:09:04.204
Is "zygan." why?
00:09:04.271 --> 00:09:05.439
Why? because in order for this
00:09:05.505 --> 00:09:06.473
Because in order for this to work properly,
00:09:06.540 --> 00:09:07.741
To work properly, it's got to be balanced.
00:09:07.808 --> 00:09:09.142
It's got to be balanced. in order for that to work
00:09:09.209 --> 00:09:10.277
In order for that to work properly,
00:09:10.344 --> 00:09:11.078
Properly, it's got to be balanced.
00:09:11.144 --> 00:09:13.146
It's got to be balanced. this is why the bible says,
00:09:13.213 --> 00:09:14.314
This is why the bible says, "do not be unequally yoked
00:09:14.381 --> 00:09:16.149
"do not be unequally yoked with nonbelievers."
00:09:16.216 --> 00:09:19.052
With nonbelievers." the think about a yoke
00:09:19.119 --> 00:09:20.087
The think about a yoke is the people who wear it
00:09:20.153 --> 00:09:21.321
Is the people who wear it have work to do.
00:09:21.388 --> 00:09:23.590
Have work to do. when a farmer would take a yoke
00:09:23.657 --> 00:09:24.992
When a farmer would take a yoke and held put two oxen on it,
00:09:25.058 --> 00:09:26.627
And held put two oxen on it, he was letting the oxen know
00:09:26.693 --> 00:09:27.861
He was letting the oxen know we've got work to do.
00:09:27.928 --> 00:09:28.929
We've got work to do. we've got a field to plant.
00:09:28.996 --> 00:09:30.163
We've got a field to plant. we've got something that needs
00:09:30.230 --> 00:09:31.264
We've got something that needs to be done.
00:09:31.331 --> 00:09:33.200
To be done. we live in a world that doesn't
00:09:33.266 --> 00:09:34.368
We live in a world that doesn't want to wear a yoke,
00:09:34.434 --> 00:09:35.268
Want to wear a yoke, because we don't like the idea
00:09:35.335 --> 00:09:36.370
Because we don't like the idea of work.
00:09:36.436 --> 00:09:39.072
Of work. but jesus christ said, look.
00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:41.208
But jesus christ said, look. it's not a matter of
00:09:41.274 --> 00:09:42.075
It's not a matter of if you work;
00:09:42.142 --> 00:09:43.043
If you work; it's a matter of who are you
00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:44.144
It's a matter of who are you working for?
00:09:44.211 --> 00:09:47.447
Working for? he said,
00:09:47.514 --> 00:09:47.914
He said, if you're heavy ladened
00:09:47.981 --> 00:09:48.782
If you're heavy ladened and you're labored,
00:09:48.849 --> 00:09:50.717
And you're labored, take the yoke of the world off
00:09:50.784 --> 00:09:52.919
Take the yoke of the world off and put my yoke on.
00:09:52.986 --> 00:09:55.188
And put my yoke on. [amen!]
00:09:55.255 --> 00:09:56.156
[amen!] why?
00:09:56.223 --> 00:09:56.723
Why? because if you work for them,
00:09:56.790 --> 00:09:58.191
Because if you work for them, you're not going to enjoy
00:09:58.258 --> 00:09:59.192
You're not going to enjoy what you get.
00:09:59.259 --> 00:09:59.926
What you get. if you work for me,
00:09:59.993 --> 00:10:01.261
If you work for me, i'll bring it back to you
00:10:01.328 --> 00:10:02.329
I'll bring it back to you pressed down, shaken together,
00:10:02.396 --> 00:10:04.064
Pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
00:10:04.131 --> 00:10:06.533
And running over. (applause)
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.568
(applause) you need to understand this;
00:10:08.635 --> 00:10:09.770
You need to understand this; you do not escape a yoke.
00:10:09.836 --> 00:10:14.007
You do not escape a yoke. the one, who is in charge,
00:10:14.074 --> 00:10:15.709
The one, who is in charge, puts it on you or takes it off
00:10:15.776 --> 00:10:17.611
Puts it on you or takes it off of you.
00:10:17.678 --> 00:10:19.379
Of you. and whenever you submit
00:10:19.446 --> 00:10:20.380
And whenever you submit your life to jesus christ,
00:10:20.447 --> 00:10:21.982
Your life to jesus christ, he becomes your master.
00:10:22.049 --> 00:10:23.917
He becomes your master. he becomes your lord.
00:10:23.984 --> 00:10:25.552
He becomes your lord. he is the one that puts
00:10:25.619 --> 00:10:26.720
He is the one that puts the yoke on you or he takes
00:10:26.787 --> 00:10:28.455
The yoke on you or he takes the yoke off of you.
00:10:28.522 --> 00:10:29.756
The yoke off of you. if you choose not to submit
00:10:29.823 --> 00:10:31.825
If you choose not to submit your life to him,
00:10:31.892 --> 00:10:32.859
Your life to him, then this world will put a yoke
00:10:32.926 --> 00:10:34.728
Then this world will put a yoke on you.
00:10:34.795 --> 00:10:35.429
On you. this world will put a burden
00:10:35.495 --> 00:10:36.863
This world will put a burden upon you.
00:10:36.930 --> 00:10:37.631
Upon you. and you are either going to
00:10:37.698 --> 00:10:38.598
And you are either going to live under the yoke of christ
00:10:38.665 --> 00:10:40.167
Live under the yoke of christ or you're going to live under
00:10:40.233 --> 00:10:41.001
Or you're going to live under the yoke of this culture.
00:10:41.068 --> 00:10:43.503
The yoke of this culture. jesus said,
00:10:43.570 --> 00:10:44.137
Jesus said, put my yoke upon you,
00:10:44.204 --> 00:10:47.574
Put my yoke upon you, because i will give you rest.
00:10:47.641 --> 00:10:51.545
Because i will give you rest. this yoke will deliver you
00:10:51.611 --> 00:10:52.813
This yoke will deliver you from poverty,
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.282
From poverty, because when you wear this and
00:10:55.348 --> 00:10:56.249
Because when you wear this and you do the work of the lord,
00:10:56.316 --> 00:10:57.384
You do the work of the lord, he said,
00:10:57.451 --> 00:10:57.984
He said, "no good thing will i withhold
00:10:58.051 --> 00:10:59.486
"no good thing will i withhold from those who diligently
00:10:59.553 --> 00:11:00.620
From those who diligently seek me."
00:11:00.687 --> 00:11:01.888
Seek me." you say, "pastor,
00:11:01.955 --> 00:11:02.723
You say, "pastor, you don't understand;
00:11:02.789 --> 00:11:03.757
You don't understand; my family members have
00:11:03.824 --> 00:11:04.825
My family members have gotten sick.
00:11:04.891 --> 00:11:05.659
Gotten sick. my family members have breathed
00:11:05.726 --> 00:11:06.927
My family members have breathed their last.
00:11:06.993 --> 00:11:07.661
Their last. my family members have died."
00:11:07.728 --> 00:11:09.262
My family members have died." if they died in the faith,
00:11:09.329 --> 00:11:10.864
If they died in the faith, they're more alive today than
00:11:10.931 --> 00:11:12.399
They're more alive today than they've ever been before.
00:11:12.466 --> 00:11:13.834
They've ever been before. and when the trump of god
00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:14.968
And when the trump of god sounds,
00:11:15.035 --> 00:11:15.569
Sounds, you're going to see them again.
00:11:15.635 --> 00:11:17.104
You're going to see them again. this world can't make
00:11:17.170 --> 00:11:18.538
This world can't make that promise.
00:11:18.605 --> 00:11:19.506
That promise. our god will not break
00:11:19.573 --> 00:11:21.108
Our god will not break that promise.
00:11:21.174 --> 00:11:22.142

Call now or go to

Jhm.org/answers
00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:29.943
God's yoke will deliver you
00:12:30.010 --> 00:12:31.311
God's yoke will deliver you from destruction,
00:12:31.378 --> 00:12:32.345
From destruction, because the bible says,
00:12:32.412 --> 00:12:33.480
Because the bible says, "thy word have i made as a lamp
00:12:33.547 --> 00:12:35.348
"thy word have i made as a lamp unto my feet and a light
00:12:35.415 --> 00:12:36.850
Unto my feet and a light unto my path."
00:12:36.917 --> 00:12:37.851
Unto my path." that means that by staying
00:12:37.918 --> 00:12:39.319
That means that by staying in constant contact
00:12:39.386 --> 00:12:40.620
In constant contact with his truth,
00:12:40.687 --> 00:12:41.655
With his truth, he'll help you navigate
00:12:41.721 --> 00:12:42.756
He'll help you navigate the days in which you live.
00:12:42.823 --> 00:12:44.291
The days in which you live. there isn't a day or an hour
00:12:44.357 --> 00:12:45.859
There isn't a day or an hour in our life that takes god
00:12:45.926 --> 00:12:47.427
In our life that takes god by surprise.
00:12:47.494 --> 00:12:48.361
By surprise. the question is,
00:12:48.428 --> 00:12:49.129
The question is, are you walking with him
00:12:49.196 --> 00:12:50.764
Are you walking with him or is he walking with you?
00:12:50.831 --> 00:12:54.534
Or is he walking with you? if you're walking with him,
00:12:54.601 --> 00:12:55.836
If you're walking with him, then this word is a lamp
00:12:55.902 --> 00:12:57.003
Then this word is a lamp unto your feet.
00:12:57.070 --> 00:12:58.038
Unto your feet. it's a light unto your path.
00:12:58.104 --> 00:12:59.372
It's a light unto your path. if he's walking with you,
00:12:59.439 --> 00:13:00.841
If he's walking with you, then he's staying like a gentle
00:13:00.907 --> 00:13:02.342
Then he's staying like a gentle shepherd right beside you,
00:13:02.409 --> 00:13:03.543
Shepherd right beside you, saying, if you step there,
00:13:03.610 --> 00:13:04.578
Saying, if you step there, you're going to fall.
00:13:04.644 --> 00:13:05.378
You're going to fall. if you step there,
00:13:05.445 --> 00:13:06.146
If you step there, you're going to break your leg.
00:13:06.213 --> 00:13:07.314
You're going to break your leg. if you step off that cliff,
00:13:07.380 --> 00:13:08.548
If you step off that cliff, it's going to hurt when you
00:13:08.615 --> 00:13:09.449
It's going to hurt when you land.
00:13:09.516 --> 00:13:10.016
Land. i'll put you back together
00:13:10.083 --> 00:13:10.851
I'll put you back together again,
00:13:10.917 --> 00:13:11.518
Again, but i'm telling you right now,
00:13:11.585 --> 00:13:12.352
But i'm telling you right now, "stop!"
00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:16.957
"stop!" and then you're lying in
00:13:17.023 --> 00:13:17.624
And then you're lying in a hospital bed in a body cast
00:13:17.691 --> 00:13:19.259
A hospital bed in a body cast going,
00:13:19.326 --> 00:13:19.860
Going, "i just don't know what
00:13:19.926 --> 00:13:20.627
"i just don't know what the lord is saying."
00:13:20.694 --> 00:13:22.696
The lord is saying." (laughter)
00:13:22.762 --> 00:13:24.464
(laughter) he's saying you need to
00:13:24.531 --> 00:13:24.998
He's saying you need to chill out.
00:13:25.065 --> 00:13:26.733
Chill out. (laughter)
00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:29.903
(laughter) the bible says in the book
00:13:29.970 --> 00:13:30.770
The bible says in the book of proverbs,
00:13:30.837 --> 00:13:31.338
Of proverbs, "there is a path that seems
00:13:31.404 --> 00:13:32.505
"there is a path that seems right to man,
00:13:32.572 --> 00:13:33.206
Right to man, but the end thereof
00:13:33.273 --> 00:13:34.040
But the end thereof is destruction."
00:13:34.107 --> 00:13:36.276
Is destruction." how many men do we see
00:13:36.343 --> 00:13:37.310
How many men do we see in the world destroying their
00:13:37.377 --> 00:13:38.879
In the world destroying their businesses because they're
00:13:38.945 --> 00:13:40.046
Businesses because they're doing what they think is right?
00:13:40.113 --> 00:13:42.315
Doing what they think is right? destroying their marriages,
00:13:42.382 --> 00:13:43.583
Destroying their marriages, because they're doing what they
00:13:43.650 --> 00:13:44.584
Because they're doing what they think is right?
00:13:44.651 --> 00:13:45.285
Think is right? destroying their dreams
00:13:45.352 --> 00:13:46.286
Destroying their dreams and their destinies,
00:13:46.353 --> 00:13:47.120
And their destinies, because they're doing what they
00:13:47.187 --> 00:13:48.188
Because they're doing what they think is right?
00:13:48.255 --> 00:13:50.056
Think is right? this yoke will deliver you
00:13:50.123 --> 00:13:51.291
This yoke will deliver you from bondage.
00:13:51.358 --> 00:13:52.559
From bondage. for john 8:36 says,
00:13:52.626 --> 00:13:54.060
For john 8:36 says, "whom the son sets free
00:13:54.127 --> 00:13:56.263
"whom the son sets free is free indeed."
00:13:56.329 --> 00:13:58.331
Is free indeed." the question is not,
00:13:58.398 --> 00:13:59.266
The question is not, "are you wearing a yoke?"
00:13:59.332 --> 00:14:00.734
"are you wearing a yoke?" the question is,
00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:01.501
The question is, "whose yoke are you wearing?"
00:14:01.568 --> 00:14:05.305
"whose yoke are you wearing?" the one from this world
00:14:05.372 --> 00:14:07.574
The one from this world or the one jesus christ says
00:14:07.641 --> 00:14:10.377
Or the one jesus christ says is burdened easy and light?
00:14:10.443 --> 00:14:15.248
Is burdened easy and light? in this generation,
00:14:15.315 --> 00:14:17.183
In this generation, it's not that we don't know
00:14:17.250 --> 00:14:18.251
It's not that we don't know the truth.
00:14:18.318 --> 00:14:20.320
The truth. it's that we ignore the truth
00:14:20.387 --> 00:14:21.388
It's that we ignore the truth we know.
00:14:21.454 --> 00:14:24.057
We know. consider this biblical
00:14:24.124 --> 00:14:25.492
Consider this biblical principle from the perspective
00:14:25.558 --> 00:14:26.993
Principle from the perspective of two pharaohs,
00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:30.397
Of two pharaohs, and consider how these
00:14:30.463 --> 00:14:32.098
And consider how these principles align with the world
00:14:32.165 --> 00:14:33.800
Principles align with the world that we're living in today.
00:14:33.867 --> 00:14:36.803
That we're living in today. both of these pharaohs were not
00:14:36.870 --> 00:14:38.571
Both of these pharaohs were not godly men.
00:14:38.638 --> 00:14:39.372
Godly men. they were idol-worshiping
00:14:39.439 --> 00:14:40.540
They were idol-worshiping pagans.
00:14:40.607 --> 00:14:42.976
Pagans. they did not have
00:14:43.043 --> 00:14:43.710
They did not have a relationship
00:14:43.777 --> 00:14:44.744
A relationship with jehovah god,
00:14:44.811 --> 00:14:45.779
With jehovah god, the god of abraham, isaac,
00:14:45.845 --> 00:14:46.913
The god of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:47.714
And jacob. but there came a time when
00:14:47.781 --> 00:14:49.015
But there came a time when one pharaoh needed to know
00:14:49.082 --> 00:14:51.151
One pharaoh needed to know the truth.
00:14:51.217 --> 00:14:52.919
The truth. he had a dream.
00:14:52.986 --> 00:14:54.321
He had a dream. in the dream,
00:14:54.387 --> 00:14:54.988
In the dream, he saw seven fat cows come out
00:14:55.055 --> 00:14:56.823
He saw seven fat cows come out of the nile river.
00:14:56.890 --> 00:14:57.824
Of the nile river. and in that same dream,
00:14:57.891 --> 00:14:58.992
And in that same dream, he saw seven skinny cows
00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:00.427
He saw seven skinny cows come out of the nile river,
00:15:00.493 --> 00:15:01.761
Come out of the nile river, and he was so troubled
00:15:01.828 --> 00:15:02.862
And he was so troubled by the dream,
00:15:02.929 --> 00:15:03.563
By the dream, because the skinny cows ate
00:15:03.630 --> 00:15:05.198
Because the skinny cows ate the fat cows.
00:15:05.265 --> 00:15:06.099
The fat cows. and he wanted to know what it
00:15:06.166 --> 00:15:07.167
And he wanted to know what it meant.
00:15:07.233 --> 00:15:10.203
Meant. so he found a man in whom
00:15:10.270 --> 00:15:12.072
So he found a man in whom the spirit of god dwelled.
00:15:12.138 --> 00:15:13.473
The spirit of god dwelled. he was a prisoner named joseph.
00:15:13.540 --> 00:15:16.710
He was a prisoner named joseph. now here you have a righteous
00:15:16.776 --> 00:15:17.944
Now here you have a righteous person filled with truth,
00:15:18.011 --> 00:15:19.713
Person filled with truth, talking to an unrighteous man
00:15:19.779 --> 00:15:21.581
Talking to an unrighteous man in need of truth.
00:15:21.648 --> 00:15:24.351
In need of truth. and when this righteous person
00:15:24.417 --> 00:15:25.719
And when this righteous person shared the truth,
00:15:25.785 --> 00:15:26.920
Shared the truth, this pharaoh had a decision
00:15:26.987 --> 00:15:28.488
This pharaoh had a decision to make.
00:15:28.555 --> 00:15:28.922
To make. why?
00:15:28.989 --> 00:15:29.356
Why? because now he knew the truth.
00:15:29.422 --> 00:15:32.625
Because now he knew the truth. the question was,
00:15:32.692 --> 00:15:33.727
The question was, "was he going to do something
00:15:33.793 --> 00:15:35.295
"was he going to do something with the truth that would make
00:15:35.362 --> 00:15:36.396
With the truth that would make him free?"
00:15:36.463 --> 00:15:38.865
Him free?" joseph interpreted his dream
00:15:38.932 --> 00:15:40.266
Joseph interpreted his dream and he said,
00:15:40.333 --> 00:15:41.034
And he said, here's what this means.
00:15:41.101 --> 00:15:41.768
Here's what this means. there's going to be seven years
00:15:41.835 --> 00:15:43.336
There's going to be seven years of such abundance;
00:15:43.403 --> 00:15:44.404
Of such abundance; you will not be able to keep
00:15:44.471 --> 00:15:45.638
You will not be able to keep all the grain.
00:15:45.705 --> 00:15:47.574
All the grain. you can eat it or you can store
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:49.476
You can eat it or you can store it.
00:15:49.542 --> 00:15:50.910
It. if you store it,
00:15:50.977 --> 00:15:53.146
If you store it, and don't use it all,
00:15:53.213 --> 00:15:54.414
And don't use it all, then there are going to come
00:15:54.481 --> 00:15:55.315
Then there are going to come seven years of famine.
00:15:55.382 --> 00:15:57.484
Seven years of famine. and in those seven years
00:15:57.550 --> 00:15:58.685
And in those seven years of famine,
00:15:58.752 --> 00:15:59.686
Of famine, egypt will become the richest
00:15:59.753 --> 00:16:00.987
Egypt will become the richest nation on earth,
00:16:01.054 --> 00:16:02.055
Nation on earth, because all of the surrounding
00:16:02.122 --> 00:16:03.490
Because all of the surrounding nations will come to you and
00:16:03.556 --> 00:16:05.158
Nations will come to you and they'll buy grain from you.
00:16:05.225 --> 00:16:07.060
They'll buy grain from you. and when they run out of money,
00:16:07.127 --> 00:16:08.161
And when they run out of money, they'll give you their land.
00:16:08.228 --> 00:16:09.362
They'll give you their land. and when they've given you
00:16:09.429 --> 00:16:10.196
And when they've given you their land,
00:16:10.263 --> 00:16:10.897
Their land, they'll give you their children
00:16:10.964 --> 00:16:11.765
They'll give you their children and their children's children,
00:16:11.831 --> 00:16:12.799
And their children's children, because the borrower is slave
00:16:12.866 --> 00:16:14.868
Because the borrower is slave to the lender.
00:16:14.934 --> 00:16:18.405
To the lender. joseph shared, with pharaoh,
00:16:18.471 --> 00:16:20.140
Joseph shared, with pharaoh, the truth.
00:16:20.206 --> 00:16:22.142
The truth. and pharaoh acted upon
00:16:22.208 --> 00:16:23.143
And pharaoh acted upon the truth.
00:16:23.209 --> 00:16:24.944
The truth. and do you know what?
00:16:25.011 --> 00:16:26.346
And do you know what? the truth set egypt free
00:16:26.413 --> 00:16:28.281
The truth set egypt free from famine.
00:16:28.348 --> 00:16:29.749
From famine. the truth set egypt free
00:16:29.816 --> 00:16:31.484
The truth set egypt free from poverty.
00:16:31.551 --> 00:16:32.786
From poverty. the truth made egypt the most
00:16:32.852 --> 00:16:34.721
The truth made egypt the most powerful nation on the face
00:16:34.788 --> 00:16:35.955
Powerful nation on the face of the earth.
00:16:36.022 --> 00:16:38.591
Of the earth. and what did pharaoh say about
00:16:38.658 --> 00:16:40.427
And what did pharaoh say about joseph in genesis 41:38?
00:16:40.493 --> 00:16:42.462
Joseph in genesis 41:38? he said,
00:16:42.529 --> 00:16:43.096
He said, "can we find such a man in whom
00:16:43.163 --> 00:16:45.265
"can we find such a man in whom the spirit of god is?"
00:16:45.331 --> 00:16:47.267
The spirit of god is?" being a wicked,
00:16:47.333 --> 00:16:48.234
Being a wicked, idol-worshiping pagan,
00:16:48.301 --> 00:16:49.769
Idol-worshiping pagan, he recognized that there was
00:16:49.836 --> 00:16:50.904
He recognized that there was something spiritual in that guy
00:16:50.970 --> 00:16:53.206
Something spiritual in that guy that was connected to a source
00:16:53.273 --> 00:16:54.574
That was connected to a source greater than himself.
00:16:54.641 --> 00:16:57.010
Greater than himself. he took joseph's truth
00:16:57.077 --> 00:16:58.545
He took joseph's truth given by god,
00:16:58.611 --> 00:16:59.712
Given by god, and he set egypt free,
00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:01.614
And he set egypt free, and made them one of the most
00:17:01.681 --> 00:17:02.682
And made them one of the most powerful nations on the planet.
00:17:02.749 --> 00:17:05.285
Powerful nations on the planet. exodus 1:8,
00:17:05.351 --> 00:17:06.753
Exodus 1:8, we meet another pharaoh.
00:17:06.820 --> 00:17:09.089
We meet another pharaoh. and this second pharaoh,
00:17:09.155 --> 00:17:11.491
And this second pharaoh, the bible says,
00:17:11.558 --> 00:17:12.425
The bible says, "he knew not joseph."
00:17:12.492 --> 00:17:16.229
"he knew not joseph." now i would like to argue
00:17:16.296 --> 00:17:17.330
Now i would like to argue that point,
00:17:17.397 --> 00:17:18.031
That point, because i just told you
00:17:18.098 --> 00:17:21.901
Because i just told you about our founding fathers.
00:17:21.968 --> 00:17:25.338
About our founding fathers. and i don't have to judge them
00:17:25.405 --> 00:17:27.107
And i don't have to judge them by what historians say
00:17:27.173 --> 00:17:28.374
By what historians say about them.
00:17:28.441 --> 00:17:29.109
About them. i can look at 1 john 3,
00:17:29.175 --> 00:17:31.444
I can look at 1 john 3, and it says,
00:17:31.511 --> 00:17:32.045
And it says, "he who works righteousness
00:17:32.112 --> 00:17:33.179
"he who works righteousness is righteous."
00:17:33.246 --> 00:17:35.748
Is righteous." and i can tell you that when
00:17:35.815 --> 00:17:37.317
And i can tell you that when these men got together and they
00:17:37.383 --> 00:17:38.885
These men got together and they wrote the declaration
00:17:38.952 --> 00:17:39.919
Wrote the declaration of independence,
00:17:39.986 --> 00:17:40.753
Of independence, and they wrote our
00:17:40.820 --> 00:17:41.821
And they wrote our constitution,
00:17:41.888 --> 00:17:42.822
Constitution, you can see the sacred
00:17:42.889 --> 00:17:44.524
You can see the sacred foundation of those documents,
00:17:44.591 --> 00:17:46.559
Foundation of those documents, and they're righteous things.
00:17:46.626 --> 00:17:49.896
And they're righteous things. the freedom of speech,
00:17:49.963 --> 00:17:50.897
The freedom of speech, the right to assemble,
00:17:50.964 --> 00:17:52.899
The right to assemble, the freedom of religion,
00:17:52.966 --> 00:17:56.269
The freedom of religion, the opportunity that all men
00:17:56.336 --> 00:17:59.305
The opportunity that all men are created equal and endowed
00:17:59.372 --> 00:18:00.673
Are created equal and endowed by their creator to live life
00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:03.810
By their creator to live life in the pursuit of happiness.
00:18:03.877 --> 00:18:06.746
In the pursuit of happiness. these are god themes interwoven
00:18:06.813 --> 00:18:10.150
These are god themes interwoven in our foundation.
00:18:10.216 --> 00:18:12.619
In our foundation. and the only reason that we
00:18:12.685 --> 00:18:13.586
And the only reason that we don't know them is not
00:18:13.653 --> 00:18:15.088
Don't know them is not because they're not there;
00:18:15.155 --> 00:18:16.356
Because they're not there; it's because we ignore them.
00:18:16.422 --> 00:18:20.160
It's because we ignore them. we throw them out the window
00:18:20.226 --> 00:18:23.163
We throw them out the window the second we feel like we've
00:18:23.229 --> 00:18:24.397
The second we feel like we've got a new problem to solve.
00:18:24.464 --> 00:18:27.167
Got a new problem to solve. oh, the founding fathers
00:18:27.233 --> 00:18:28.168
Oh, the founding fathers knew nothing about covid.
00:18:28.234 --> 00:18:29.636
Knew nothing about covid. no, they knew all kinds
00:18:29.702 --> 00:18:30.937
No, they knew all kinds of sicknesses
00:18:31.004 --> 00:18:31.804
Of sicknesses that we don't even want to deal
00:18:31.871 --> 00:18:32.872
That we don't even want to deal with today.
00:18:32.939 --> 00:18:37.744
With today. so there arose a pharaoh
00:18:37.810 --> 00:18:38.945
So there arose a pharaoh who knew not joseph.
00:18:39.012 --> 00:18:41.881
Who knew not joseph. how?
00:18:41.948 --> 00:18:44.117
How? the previous pharaoh had made
00:18:44.184 --> 00:18:45.752
The previous pharaoh had made him a prime minister.
00:18:45.818 --> 00:18:48.621
Him a prime minister. the previous pharaoh had built
00:18:48.688 --> 00:18:50.190
The previous pharaoh had built pyramids enshrining
00:18:50.256 --> 00:18:51.824
Pyramids enshrining the contribution that joseph
00:18:51.891 --> 00:18:53.193
The contribution that joseph had made in egypt.
00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:55.128
Had made in egypt. the previous pharaoh built
00:18:55.195 --> 00:18:56.462
The previous pharaoh built silos to store the grain
00:18:56.529 --> 00:18:58.097
Silos to store the grain for seven years.
00:18:58.164 --> 00:18:59.265
For seven years. did those silos get torn down?
00:18:59.332 --> 00:19:01.201
Did those silos get torn down? did the pyramid go away?
00:19:01.267 --> 00:19:02.702
Did the pyramid go away? did the history books change?
00:19:02.769 --> 00:19:04.204
Did the history books change? did the school that
00:19:04.270 --> 00:19:05.104
Did the school that this pharaoh was raised in
00:19:05.171 --> 00:19:06.639
This pharaoh was raised in read something different than
00:19:06.706 --> 00:19:08.007
Read something different than the way history really was?
00:19:08.074 --> 00:19:09.342
The way history really was? no!
00:19:09.409 --> 00:19:11.444
No! the reality is this pharaoh
00:19:11.511 --> 00:19:13.079
The reality is this pharaoh chose to ignore the truth.
00:19:13.146 --> 00:19:17.116
Chose to ignore the truth. he knew how egypt got where
00:19:17.183 --> 00:19:19.085
He knew how egypt got where egypt was.
00:19:19.152 --> 00:19:19.986
Egypt was. he knew who was responsible
00:19:20.053 --> 00:19:21.754
He knew who was responsible for making them great.
00:19:21.821 --> 00:19:22.922
For making them great. he knew why they were the most
00:19:22.989 --> 00:19:24.657
He knew why they were the most prosperous nation in the world.
00:19:24.724 --> 00:19:26.159
Prosperous nation in the world. and he said,
00:19:26.226 --> 00:19:26.826
And he said, i know better than that.
00:19:26.893 --> 00:19:30.830
I know better than that. and in choosing to ignore
00:19:30.897 --> 00:19:33.233
And in choosing to ignore history,
00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:35.101
History, he made a fatal mistake.
00:19:35.168 --> 00:19:37.870
He made a fatal mistake. he imprisoned the people
00:19:37.937 --> 00:19:39.272
He imprisoned the people that god said,
00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:40.139
That god said, "i will bless those
00:19:40.206 --> 00:19:41.040
"i will bless those who bless you,
00:19:41.107 --> 00:19:42.175
Who bless you, and i will curse those
00:19:42.242 --> 00:19:43.776
And i will curse those who curse you."
00:19:43.843 --> 00:19:45.712
Who curse you." as long as egypt blessed
00:19:45.778 --> 00:19:47.213
As long as egypt blessed the lineage of abraham,
00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:48.448
The lineage of abraham, egypt was blessed.
00:19:48.514 --> 00:19:49.816
Egypt was blessed. the second that they began
00:19:49.882 --> 00:19:51.184
The second that they began cursing the lineage of abraham,
00:19:51.251 --> 00:19:53.686
Cursing the lineage of abraham, they began to --
00:19:53.753 --> 00:19:55.054
They began to -- they began to decline,
00:19:55.121 --> 00:19:56.122
They began to decline, and they've never returned:
00:19:56.189 --> 00:19:59.926
And they've never returned: the bloated corpse of pharaoh
00:19:59.993 --> 00:20:01.294
The bloated corpse of pharaoh in the red sea is testament
00:20:01.361 --> 00:20:03.396
In the red sea is testament that god keeps his word
00:20:03.463 --> 00:20:05.031
That god keeps his word to a thousand generations.
00:20:05.098 --> 00:20:08.067
To a thousand generations. so what do we do
00:20:08.134 --> 00:20:08.735
So what do we do in this nation?
00:20:08.801 --> 00:20:10.703
In this nation? it's time that we stopped
00:20:10.770 --> 00:20:12.205
It's time that we stopped ignoring the truth.
00:20:12.272 --> 00:20:15.208
Ignoring the truth. it's time that we quit
00:20:15.275 --> 00:20:16.075
It's time that we quit pretending we don't know what
00:20:16.142 --> 00:20:17.377
Pretending we don't know what to do.
00:20:17.443 --> 00:20:18.878
To do. it's time that we went back
00:20:18.945 --> 00:20:20.380
It's time that we went back to what the word of god says.
00:20:20.446 --> 00:20:22.882
To what the word of god says. john 17:17,
00:20:22.949 --> 00:20:24.584
John 17:17, "thy word is truth."
00:20:24.651 --> 00:20:28.388
"thy word is truth." it is this truth that makes us
00:20:28.454 --> 00:20:29.856
It is this truth that makes us one nation under god.
00:20:29.922 --> 00:20:31.391
One nation under god. it is this truth that brings
00:20:31.457 --> 00:20:32.859
It is this truth that brings every blessing that we possess.
00:20:32.925 --> 00:20:34.527
Every blessing that we possess. it is this truth
00:20:34.594 --> 00:20:35.695
It is this truth that has anchored our society
00:20:35.762 --> 00:20:37.497
That has anchored our society and our nation.
00:20:37.563 --> 00:20:38.398
And our nation. it is this truth that our past
00:20:38.464 --> 00:20:40.166
It is this truth that our past leaders have used to call upon
00:20:40.233 --> 00:20:41.768
Leaders have used to call upon the lord in hours of trial.
00:20:41.834 --> 00:20:43.836
The lord in hours of trial. when we were in the days
00:20:43.903 --> 00:20:44.971
When we were in the days of the civil war,
00:20:45.038 --> 00:20:46.072
Of the civil war, and abraham lincoln called
00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:47.373
And abraham lincoln called for a national day of prayer,
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.008
For a national day of prayer, he asked for those who believed
00:20:49.075 --> 00:20:50.810
He asked for those who believed in the god of abraham, isaac,

From the inside out, we cannot expect a change

Inside us and then share it with those around us,
00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:02.648
With those around us, which means that
00:22:02.715 --> 00:22:03.282
Which means that no political party,
