00:00:13.307 --> 00:00:14.141
Pastor matt hagee: today, i want you to see how you can
00:00:14.208 --> 00:00:15.643
I want you to see how you can outgrow depression.
00:00:15.709 --> 00:00:18.212
Outgrow depression. [amen.]
00:00:18.279 --> 00:00:18.679
[amen.] [hallelujah.]
00:00:18.746 --> 00:00:19.447
[hallelujah.] just like an individual
00:00:19.513 --> 00:00:20.448
Just like an individual standing before you today,
00:00:20.514 --> 00:00:21.549
Standing before you today, says, "well, when i was a kid,
00:00:21.615 --> 00:00:22.683
Says, "well, when i was a kid, i had asthma."
00:00:22.750 --> 00:00:23.551
I had asthma." well, what happened?
00:00:23.617 --> 00:00:24.285
Well, what happened? "i outgrew it."
00:00:24.351 --> 00:00:27.154
"i outgrew it." as a young and immature
00:00:27.221 --> 00:00:29.256
As a young and immature christian,
00:00:29.323 --> 00:00:30.024
Christian, you may struggle with
00:00:30.091 --> 00:00:31.092
You may struggle with the anxiety of the word.
00:00:31.158 --> 00:00:32.293
The anxiety of the word. but if you put your faith
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:33.561
But if you put your faith into action,
00:00:33.627 --> 00:00:34.695
Into action, as you mature,
00:00:34.762 --> 00:00:35.663
As you mature, as you will grow,
00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:36.964
As you will grow, you will outgrow it.
00:00:37.031 --> 00:00:39.200
You will outgrow it. [amen.]
00:00:39.266 --> 00:00:41.068
[amen.] this is why paul could be
00:00:41.135 --> 00:00:42.336
This is why paul could be chained in prison just days
00:00:42.403 --> 00:00:44.972
Chained in prison just days from death, saying,
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.240
From death, saying, "rejoice in the lord always."
00:00:46.307 --> 00:00:50.044
"rejoice in the lord always." [yes.]
00:00:50.111 --> 00:00:50.911
[yes.] there wasn't any kind of
00:00:50.978 --> 00:00:52.279
There wasn't any kind of worldly anxiety or concern
00:00:52.346 --> 00:00:54.515
Worldly anxiety or concern that he had that he had not
00:00:54.582 --> 00:00:56.450
That he had that he had not believed that god could help
00:00:56.517 --> 00:00:57.751
Believed that god could help him to overcome.
00:00:57.818 --> 00:00:59.753
Him to overcome. [yes.]
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:00.387
[yes.] so how do you grow in faith,
00:01:00.454 --> 00:01:02.990
So how do you grow in faith, in love,
00:01:03.057 --> 00:01:03.891
In love, and outgrow anxiety
00:01:03.958 --> 00:01:05.693
And outgrow anxiety and depression?
00:01:05.759 --> 00:01:07.161
And depression? you have to, first,
00:01:07.228 --> 00:01:07.995
You have to, first, be planted by god's grace.
00:01:08.062 --> 00:01:10.798
Be planted by god's grace. [amen.]
00:01:10.865 --> 00:01:12.466
[amen.] jesus said this in john 15:5,
00:01:12.533 --> 00:01:15.269
Jesus said this in john 15:5, "apart from me
00:01:15.336 --> 00:01:16.570
"apart from me you can do nothing."
00:01:16.637 --> 00:01:19.106
You can do nothing." now that's something that you
00:01:19.173 --> 00:01:20.074
Now that's something that you need to remind yourself of
00:01:20.141 --> 00:01:21.542
Need to remind yourself of on a daily basis.
00:01:21.609 --> 00:01:22.776
On a daily basis. [that's right.]
00:01:22.843 --> 00:01:23.511
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:01:23.577 --> 00:01:24.278
[that's right.] and the reason that you and i
00:01:24.345 --> 00:01:25.446
And the reason that you and i have to remind ourselves of
00:01:25.513 --> 00:01:26.780
Have to remind ourselves of this on a daily basis is
00:01:26.847 --> 00:01:28.349
This on a daily basis is because in every one of us
00:01:28.415 --> 00:01:30.351
Because in every one of us is this very self-centered,
00:01:30.417 --> 00:01:32.153
Is this very self-centered, selfish individual that is
00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:34.355
Selfish individual that is so immature and childish that
00:01:34.421 --> 00:01:36.724
So immature and childish that we want to constantly tell god
00:01:36.790 --> 00:01:38.692
We want to constantly tell god we can do it on our own.
00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:40.427
We can do it on our own. we forget quickly what acts 17
00:01:40.494 --> 00:01:42.830
We forget quickly what acts 17 says.
00:01:42.897 --> 00:01:43.464
Says. "in him we live,
00:01:43.531 --> 00:01:44.098
"in him we live, in him we move,
00:01:44.165 --> 00:01:44.932
In him we move, and in him we have our being."
00:01:44.999 --> 00:01:47.835
And in him we have our being." the point is this:
00:01:47.902 --> 00:01:48.669
The point is this: if anything in your life
00:01:48.736 --> 00:01:49.737
If anything in your life is going to flourish,
00:01:49.803 --> 00:01:51.038
Is going to flourish, thrive, and grow,
00:01:51.105 --> 00:01:52.273
Thrive, and grow, it's got to be planted in god.
00:01:52.339 --> 00:01:54.775
It's got to be planted in god. and the only way it can be
00:01:54.842 --> 00:01:55.876
And the only way it can be planted in god is by
00:01:55.943 --> 00:01:58.012
Planted in god is by his grace.
00:01:58.078 --> 00:01:59.213
His grace. [yes.]
00:01:59.280 --> 00:01:59.880
[yes.] [amen.]
00:01:59.947 --> 00:02:00.548
[amen.] if it's not planted in god,
00:02:00.614 --> 00:02:01.515
If it's not planted in god, it'll burn you out,
00:02:01.582 --> 00:02:02.449
It'll burn you out, it'll bring you down.
00:02:02.516 --> 00:02:03.684
It'll bring you down. it will take your joy
00:02:03.751 --> 00:02:05.452
It will take your joy and it will give you sorrow.
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.388
And it will give you sorrow. [that's right.]
00:02:07.454 --> 00:02:08.122
[that's right.] whatever you want to grow has
00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:09.223
Whatever you want to grow has got to be planted in grace
00:02:09.290 --> 00:02:10.591
Got to be planted in grace and it's got to grow in faith.
00:02:10.658 --> 00:02:12.092
And it's got to grow in faith. how did your salvation come?
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.161
How did your salvation come? by grace and by faith.
00:02:14.228 --> 00:02:16.430
By grace and by faith. [amen.]
00:02:16.497 --> 00:02:17.164
[amen.] ephesians 2:8,
00:02:17.231 --> 00:02:18.365
Ephesians 2:8, "by grace you have been saved
00:02:18.432 --> 00:02:19.934
"by grace you have been saved through faith."
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.002
Through faith." [amen.]
00:02:22.069 --> 00:02:22.736
[amen.] grace is god's gift.
00:02:22.803 --> 00:02:24.104
Grace is god's gift. faith is how you open
00:02:24.171 --> 00:02:25.773
Faith is how you open the gift.
00:02:25.839 --> 00:02:26.574
The gift. [amen.]
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:27.575
[amen.] [hallelujah.]
00:02:27.641 --> 00:02:27.975
[hallelujah.] no matter what you're trying
00:02:28.042 --> 00:02:28.943
No matter what you're trying to achieve though,
00:02:29.009 --> 00:02:29.843
To achieve though, if you do not try to achieve
00:02:29.910 --> 00:02:31.145
If you do not try to achieve it in god's grace
00:02:31.212 --> 00:02:32.446
It in god's grace and through pure faith,
00:02:32.513 --> 00:02:33.981
And through pure faith, you're going to struggle
00:02:34.048 --> 00:02:35.049
You're going to struggle with it.
00:02:35.115 --> 00:02:36.083
With it. [yes.]
00:02:36.150 --> 00:02:36.817
[yes.] and that struggle is going to
00:02:36.884 --> 00:02:37.751
And that struggle is going to lead to depression.
00:02:37.818 --> 00:02:39.787
Lead to depression. so how do you outgrow
00:02:39.853 --> 00:02:40.754
So how do you outgrow depression?
00:02:40.821 --> 00:02:42.323
Depression? instead of sowing from
00:02:42.389 --> 00:02:43.324
Instead of sowing from the flesh,
00:02:43.390 --> 00:02:44.792
The flesh, you sow from the spirit.
00:02:44.858 --> 00:02:47.494
You sow from the spirit. this is what paul is talking
00:02:47.561 --> 00:02:48.629
This is what paul is talking about in galatians 5 and 6.
00:02:48.696 --> 00:02:52.733
About in galatians 5 and 6. "do not be deceived,
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.235
"do not be deceived, god is not mocked."
00:02:54.301 --> 00:02:56.503
God is not mocked." "whatever a man sows,
00:02:56.570 --> 00:02:58.339
"whatever a man sows, that will he reap."
00:02:58.405 --> 00:03:00.407
That will he reap." [that's right.]
00:03:00.474 --> 00:03:01.475
[that's right.] if you're sowing joy,
00:03:01.542 --> 00:03:03.043
If you're sowing joy, you're going to reap joy.
00:03:03.110 --> 00:03:04.979
You're going to reap joy. if you're sowing frustration,
00:03:05.045 --> 00:03:06.981
If you're sowing frustration, you're going to reap
00:03:07.047 --> 00:03:08.249
You're going to reap frustration.
00:03:08.315 --> 00:03:09.350
Frustration. [that's right.]
00:03:09.416 --> 00:03:10.417
[that's right.] he says there's two ways
00:03:10.484 --> 00:03:11.418
He says there's two ways that you can sow.
00:03:11.485 --> 00:03:12.286
That you can sow. you can sow from the flesh,
00:03:12.353 --> 00:03:13.587
You can sow from the flesh, which brings corruption.
00:03:13.654 --> 00:03:16.290
Which brings corruption. the flesh never brings
00:03:16.357 --> 00:03:17.258
The flesh never brings anything good.
00:03:17.324 --> 00:03:18.025
Anything good. why?
00:03:18.092 --> 00:03:18.559
Why? because it's constantly
00:03:18.626 --> 00:03:19.460
Because it's constantly rotting.
00:03:19.526 --> 00:03:20.094
Rotting. that's what corruption means.
00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:21.462
That's what corruption means. [yes.]
00:03:21.528 --> 00:03:23.330
[yes.] he said,
00:03:23.397 --> 00:03:24.031
He said, "or you can sow from
00:03:24.098 --> 00:03:24.665
"or you can sow from the spirit,
00:03:24.732 --> 00:03:25.733
The spirit, from which you reap
00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:26.834
From which you reap everlasting life."
00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:27.968
Everlasting life." [hallelujah.]
00:03:28.035 --> 00:03:29.470
[hallelujah.] the fruit that god wants you
00:03:29.536 --> 00:03:30.671
The fruit that god wants you to grow is planted in
00:03:30.738 --> 00:03:31.772
To grow is planted in his grace,
00:03:31.839 --> 00:03:33.307
His grace, and it's produced by
00:03:33.374 --> 00:03:34.208
And it's produced by your faith,
00:03:34.275 --> 00:03:35.776
Your faith, and it brings a harvest
00:03:35.843 --> 00:03:37.144
And it brings a harvest of love.
00:03:37.211 --> 00:03:38.679
Of love. that's why jesus said
00:03:38.746 --> 00:03:39.613
That's why jesus said in john 15:8,
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:40.981
In john 15:8, "by this,
00:03:41.048 --> 00:03:41.749
"by this, my father is glorified --"
00:03:41.815 --> 00:03:43.651
My father is glorified --" what?
00:03:43.717 --> 00:03:44.485
What? "-- that you bear,"
00:03:44.551 --> 00:03:45.719
"-- that you bear," say it with me,
00:03:45.786 --> 00:03:46.787
Say it with me, "much fruit."
00:03:46.854 --> 00:03:49.256
"much fruit." and the fruit is love,
00:03:49.323 --> 00:03:50.691
And the fruit is love, which is why verse 12 says,
00:03:50.758 --> 00:03:52.059
Which is why verse 12 says, "this is my commandment,
00:03:52.126 --> 00:03:53.927
"this is my commandment, that you love one another
00:03:53.994 --> 00:03:56.764
That you love one another as i have loved you."
00:03:56.830 --> 00:04:00.234
As i have loved you." [yes.]
00:04:00.301 --> 00:04:00.968
[yes.] now this is where we need
00:04:01.035 --> 00:04:01.735
Now this is where we need the holy spirit to open up
00:04:01.802 --> 00:04:03.671
The holy spirit to open up the lock and help us
00:04:03.737 --> 00:04:05.205
The lock and help us understand this kind of love.
00:04:05.272 --> 00:04:06.740
Understand this kind of love. because we talk about love,
00:04:06.807 --> 00:04:08.108
Because we talk about love, but we don't understand love.
00:04:08.175 --> 00:04:11.512
But we don't understand love. our kind of love in our kind
00:04:11.578 --> 00:04:13.781
Our kind of love in our kind of thinking is transactional.
00:04:13.847 --> 00:04:17.618
Of thinking is transactional. we love people because of what
00:04:17.685 --> 00:04:19.386
We love people because of what they do for us.
00:04:19.453 --> 00:04:20.287
They do for us. and they love us because of
00:04:20.354 --> 00:04:21.722
And they love us because of what we do for them,
00:04:21.789 --> 00:04:24.658
What we do for them, even if you don't want to
00:04:24.725 --> 00:04:25.559
Even if you don't want to admit it.
00:04:25.626 --> 00:04:27.861
Admit it. but the kind of love that's
00:04:27.928 --> 00:04:28.729
But the kind of love that's being spoken about here
00:04:28.796 --> 00:04:30.197
Being spoken about here in this verse,
00:04:30.264 --> 00:04:30.898
In this verse, "this is my commandment
00:04:30.964 --> 00:04:31.899
"this is my commandment that you love one another
00:04:31.965 --> 00:04:34.101
That you love one another as i have loved you,"
00:04:34.168 --> 00:04:35.669
As i have loved you," is not transactional;
00:04:35.736 --> 00:04:37.137
Is not transactional; it's sacrificial.
00:04:37.204 --> 00:04:39.273
It's sacrificial. this is the kind of love
00:04:39.340 --> 00:04:40.808
This is the kind of love that does not expect anything
00:04:40.874 --> 00:04:43.510
That does not expect anything in return from the person
00:04:43.577 --> 00:04:45.346
In return from the person that you are loving.
00:04:45.412 --> 00:04:46.547
That you are loving. [that's right.]
00:04:46.613 --> 00:04:48.415
[that's right.] and that's a different kind
00:04:48.482 --> 00:04:50.617
And that's a different kind of love.
00:04:50.684 --> 00:04:53.120
Of love. think about it.
00:04:53.187 --> 00:04:54.221
Think about it. i do not expect or require
00:04:54.288 --> 00:04:57.157
I do not expect or require anything from you,
00:04:57.224 --> 00:04:59.860
Anything from you, but i still love you.
00:04:59.927 --> 00:05:01.428
But i still love you. [yes.]
00:05:01.495 --> 00:05:02.329
[yes.] now in order to identify
00:05:02.396 --> 00:05:03.797
Now in order to identify the roots of god's love,
00:05:03.864 --> 00:05:05.199
The roots of god's love, you need to go to
00:05:05.265 --> 00:05:05.833
You need to go to 1 corinthians 13:1 through 4.
00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:09.436
1 corinthians 13:1 through 4. this is the description of how
00:05:09.503 --> 00:05:10.671
This is the description of how god and his son, jesus christ,
00:05:10.738 --> 00:05:12.673
God and his son, jesus christ, loved you.
00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:15.642
Loved you. and this is the way that
00:05:15.709 --> 00:05:16.276
And this is the way that he expects us to love others.
00:05:16.343 --> 00:05:20.981
He expects us to love others. and in order to understand
00:05:21.048 --> 00:05:22.349
And in order to understand this kind of love,
00:05:22.416 --> 00:05:23.217
This kind of love, you've got to have
00:05:23.283 --> 00:05:23.751
You've got to have the holy spirit help you
00:05:23.817 --> 00:05:24.952
The holy spirit help you hear it,
00:05:25.018 --> 00:05:25.452
Hear it, because you won't get it
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.154
Because you won't get it in your own strength.
00:05:27.221 --> 00:05:29.723
In your own strength. for example,
00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:30.257
For example, this issue of patient
00:05:30.324 --> 00:05:31.525
This issue of patient and kind,
00:05:31.592 --> 00:05:33.660
And kind, sounds nice.
00:05:33.727 --> 00:05:35.229
Sounds nice. [yes.]
00:05:35.295 --> 00:05:36.530
[yes.] but the reality of it is,
00:05:36.597 --> 00:05:37.564
But the reality of it is, is patient is not really
00:05:37.631 --> 00:05:39.233
Is patient is not really a good interpretation.
00:05:39.299 --> 00:05:41.735
A good interpretation. as a matter of fact,
00:05:41.802 --> 00:05:42.302
As a matter of fact, in galatians and in some
00:05:42.369 --> 00:05:45.406
In galatians and in some translations of the bible,
00:05:45.472 --> 00:05:46.340
Translations of the bible, it says,
00:05:46.407 --> 00:05:47.307
It says, "love is longsuffering."
00:05:47.374 --> 00:05:50.811
"love is longsuffering." and the difference between
00:05:50.878 --> 00:05:51.712
And the difference between patience and longsuffering
00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:53.280
Patience and longsuffering is simply this:
00:05:53.347 --> 00:05:55.649
Is simply this: patience is your willingness
00:05:55.716 --> 00:05:59.720
Patience is your willingness to wait.
00:05:59.787 --> 00:06:01.588
To wait. longsuffering is your ability
00:06:01.655 --> 00:06:05.092
Longsuffering is your ability to endure quietly without
00:06:05.159 --> 00:06:07.027
To endure quietly without letting the other person know
00:06:07.094 --> 00:06:08.495
Letting the other person know it's bothering you.
00:06:08.562 --> 00:06:09.997
It's bothering you. [yes.]
00:06:10.063 --> 00:06:10.531
[yes.] [come on.]
00:06:10.597 --> 00:06:11.265
[come on.] [yes.]
00:06:11.331 --> 00:06:12.566
[yes.] that's different.
00:06:12.633 --> 00:06:13.567
That's different. [yes, very.]
00:06:13.634 --> 00:06:14.802
[yes, very.] you ever heard somebody say,
00:06:14.868 --> 00:06:15.569
You ever heard somebody say, "don't try my patience"?
00:06:15.636 --> 00:06:17.704
"don't try my patience"? (laughter)
00:06:17.771 --> 00:06:19.306
(laughter) what they're saying is,
00:06:19.373 --> 00:06:20.007
What they're saying is, you're getting to the end of
00:06:20.073 --> 00:06:21.141
You're getting to the end of my ability to wait.
00:06:21.208 --> 00:06:22.476
My ability to wait. [yes.]
00:06:22.543 --> 00:06:23.177
[yes.] but longsuffering says,
00:06:23.243 --> 00:06:24.278
But longsuffering says, "you're not even going to know
00:06:24.344 --> 00:06:25.078
"you're not even going to know it bothers me.
00:06:25.145 --> 00:06:25.746
It bothers me. i'm just going to set here
00:06:25.813 --> 00:06:26.780
I'm just going to set here and --"
00:06:26.847 --> 00:06:27.448
And --" [that's right.]
00:06:27.514 --> 00:06:28.515
[that's right.] "-- wait."
00:06:28.582 --> 00:06:30.150
"-- wait." [there you go.]
00:06:30.217 --> 00:06:31.985
[there you go.] think about jesus'
00:06:32.052 --> 00:06:33.320
Think about jesus' longsuffering with
00:06:33.387 --> 00:06:34.488
Longsuffering with the disciples.
00:06:34.555 --> 00:06:36.390
The disciples. he would teach them these
00:06:36.457 --> 00:06:37.524
He would teach them these marvelous lessons of truth,
00:06:37.591 --> 00:06:38.826
Marvelous lessons of truth, and they would look at him
00:06:38.892 --> 00:06:39.493
And they would look at him and go,
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.260
And go, "we don't get it."
00:06:40.327 --> 00:06:42.429
"we don't get it." he didn't go, "uh."
00:06:42.496 --> 00:06:43.597
He didn't go, "uh." (slaps his head)
00:06:43.664 --> 00:06:44.465
(slaps his head) (laughter)
00:06:44.531 --> 00:06:46.700
(laughter) he'd just keep right on
00:06:46.767 --> 00:06:47.468
He'd just keep right on walking,
00:06:47.534 --> 00:06:47.968
Walking, right on teaching,
00:06:48.035 --> 00:06:48.635
Right on teaching, right on talking.
00:06:48.702 --> 00:06:51.738
Right on talking. he was suffering
00:06:51.805 --> 00:06:53.607
He was suffering their ignorance,
00:06:53.674 --> 00:06:54.475
Their ignorance, but they never knew it,
00:06:54.541 --> 00:06:56.677
But they never knew it, because he loved them.
00:06:56.743 --> 00:06:58.979
Because he loved them. "love is kind."
00:06:59.046 --> 00:07:01.415
"love is kind." "kindness" means a desire to
00:07:01.482 --> 00:07:04.051
"kindness" means a desire to help and not to hurt.
00:07:04.117 --> 00:07:07.187
Help and not to hurt. and the thing about kindness
00:07:07.254 --> 00:07:09.556
And the thing about kindness is that you don't often have
00:07:09.623 --> 00:07:10.891
Is that you don't often have the ability to discern
00:07:10.958 --> 00:07:12.392
The ability to discern when someone is being kind
00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:14.094
When someone is being kind in the moment.
00:07:14.161 --> 00:07:15.829
In the moment. why?
00:07:15.896 --> 00:07:18.832
Why? because the bible says
00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:19.666
Because the bible says in proverbs 27:6,
00:07:19.733 --> 00:07:21.969
In proverbs 27:6, "faithful are the wounds
00:07:22.035 --> 00:07:24.171
"faithful are the wounds of a friend,
00:07:24.238 --> 00:07:25.038
Of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy
00:07:25.105 --> 00:07:26.974
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.108
Are deceitful." [that's right.]
00:07:28.175 --> 00:07:29.243
[that's right.] sometimes someone's
00:07:29.309 --> 00:07:30.477
Sometimes someone's kissing you,
00:07:30.544 --> 00:07:31.178
Kissing you, and you think,
00:07:31.245 --> 00:07:31.879
And you think, "oh, that's kind."
00:07:31.945 --> 00:07:32.679
"oh, that's kind." but the truth is that kiss is
00:07:32.746 --> 00:07:33.947
But the truth is that kiss is intended for your harm,
00:07:34.014 --> 00:07:35.048
Intended for your harm, not your help.
00:07:35.115 --> 00:07:38.151
Not your help. and other times,
00:07:38.218 --> 00:07:38.986
And other times, somebody is saying something
00:07:39.052 --> 00:07:40.654
Somebody is saying something that confronts you,
00:07:40.721 --> 00:07:42.256
That confronts you, and you think,
00:07:42.322 --> 00:07:42.723
And you think, "well, that was rude.
00:07:42.789 --> 00:07:43.724
"well, that was rude. that's not very kind."
00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:44.725
That's not very kind." but the truth is
00:07:44.791 --> 00:07:45.425
But the truth is if their confrontation is for
00:07:45.492 --> 00:07:46.793
If their confrontation is for your help,
00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:47.628
Your help, you should thank them.
00:07:47.694 --> 00:07:48.929
You should thank them. [that's right.]
00:07:48.996 --> 00:07:49.897
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:07:49.963 --> 00:07:50.497
[that's right.] [amen.]
00:07:50.564 --> 00:07:51.064
[amen.] "love does not envy."
00:07:51.131 --> 00:07:53.767
"love does not envy." love celebrates someone else's
00:07:53.834 --> 00:07:55.836
Love celebrates someone else's success.
00:07:55.903 --> 00:07:57.037
Success. [yes.]
00:07:57.104 --> 00:07:57.804
[yes.] [yes.]
00:07:57.871 --> 00:07:58.505
[yes.] [amen.]
00:07:58.572 --> 00:07:59.239
[amen.] you're going to find out how
00:07:59.306 --> 00:07:59.940
You're going to find out how much you love somebody
00:08:00.007 --> 00:08:01.341
Much you love somebody the next time that they get
00:08:01.408 --> 00:08:02.442
The next time that they get a promotion or buy a bigger
00:08:02.509 --> 00:08:03.610
A promotion or buy a bigger house or have something that
00:08:03.677 --> 00:08:04.811
House or have something that you don't have.
00:08:04.878 --> 00:08:07.214
You don't have. because if you can truly
00:08:07.281 --> 00:08:08.148
Because if you can truly celebrate it,
00:08:08.215 --> 00:08:09.082
Celebrate it, then you're not envious of
00:08:09.149 --> 00:08:10.450
Then you're not envious of their success.
00:08:10.517 --> 00:08:11.885
Their success. [that's right.]
00:08:11.952 --> 00:08:12.653
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:08:12.719 --> 00:08:13.387
[that's right.] "love does not parade itself."
00:08:13.453 --> 00:08:14.621
"love does not parade itself." love doesn't think that you're
00:08:14.688 --> 00:08:15.889
Love doesn't think that you're a big deal.
00:08:15.956 --> 00:08:17.591
A big deal. "love is not puffed up."
00:08:17.658 --> 00:08:19.026
"love is not puffed up." love not being puffed up means
00:08:19.092 --> 00:08:21.562
Love not being puffed up means that it's not snobbish.
00:08:21.628 --> 00:08:22.796
That it's not snobbish. it doesn't think that it's
00:08:22.863 --> 00:08:24.231
It doesn't think that it's too good to be around
00:08:24.298 --> 00:08:25.666
Too good to be around other people.
00:08:25.732 --> 00:08:26.800
Other people. [there you go.]
00:08:26.867 --> 00:08:28.201
[there you go.] this is how love overcomes
00:08:28.268 --> 00:08:29.436
This is how love overcomes bias and racism,
00:08:29.503 --> 00:08:30.904
Bias and racism, because it doesn't look at
00:08:30.971 --> 00:08:31.738
Because it doesn't look at someone who's different
00:08:31.805 --> 00:08:32.706
Someone who's different and say,
00:08:32.773 --> 00:08:33.373
And say, "well, i can't love you
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.308
"well, i can't love you because you're not like me."
00:08:34.374 --> 00:08:35.542
Because you're not like me." [yes.]
00:08:35.609 --> 00:08:36.443
[yes.] "love is not rude."
00:08:36.510 --> 00:08:38.011
"love is not rude." it's not disruptive.
00:08:38.078 --> 00:08:39.880
It's not disruptive. "love doesn't seek its own."
00:08:39.947 --> 00:08:41.214
"love doesn't seek its own." it's always giving.
00:08:41.281 --> 00:08:42.482
It's always giving. it's never seeking to receive.
00:08:42.549 --> 00:08:44.718
It's never seeking to receive. "love is not provoked."
00:08:44.785 --> 00:08:46.386
"love is not provoked." this is one of my favorite
00:08:46.453 --> 00:08:47.454
This is one of my favorite ones,
00:08:47.521 --> 00:08:48.155
Ones, because it's something that
00:08:48.221 --> 00:08:48.989
Because it's something that most people don't think about
00:08:49.056 --> 00:08:50.057
Most people don't think about when it comes to love.
00:08:50.123 --> 00:08:50.891
When it comes to love. "love is not provoked."
00:08:50.958 --> 00:08:52.793
"love is not provoked." that means that love is not
00:08:52.859 --> 00:08:54.494
That means that love is not overly sensitive.
00:08:54.561 --> 00:08:57.130
Overly sensitive. it's got tough enough skin
00:08:57.197 --> 00:08:59.766
It's got tough enough skin to endure an offense
00:08:59.833 --> 00:09:01.702
To endure an offense and keep loving you.
00:09:01.768 --> 00:09:03.303
And keep loving you. [yes.]
00:09:03.370 --> 00:09:03.637
[yes.] when you start loving other
00:09:03.704 --> 00:09:04.638
When you start loving other people like that,
00:09:04.705 --> 00:09:05.505
People like that, you're going to spend
00:09:05.572 --> 00:09:06.173
You're going to spend a lot less time offended.
00:09:06.239 --> 00:09:08.575
A lot less time offended. [amen.]
00:09:08.642 --> 00:09:09.610
[amen.] "love does not rejoice in
00:09:09.676 --> 00:09:11.111
"love does not rejoice in iniquity."
00:09:11.178 --> 00:09:11.812
Iniquity." here's another one to think
00:09:11.878 --> 00:09:12.613
Here's another one to think about.
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.014
About. "love does not rejoice in
00:09:14.081 --> 00:09:15.949
"love does not rejoice in iniquity."
00:09:16.016 --> 00:09:16.416
Iniquity." that's what the bible says.
00:09:16.483 --> 00:09:18.085
That's what the bible says. here we call it
00:09:18.151 --> 00:09:18.852
Here we call it "thinks no evil
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:19.586
"thinks no evil and does not rejoice in sin.
00:09:19.653 --> 00:09:21.088
And does not rejoice in sin. it celebrates truth."
00:09:21.154 --> 00:09:23.824
It celebrates truth." don't say you love somebody,
00:09:23.890 --> 00:09:25.692
Don't say you love somebody, and then look for fault
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.594
And then look for fault in that somebody.
00:09:27.661 --> 00:09:29.096
In that somebody. [amen.]
00:09:29.162 --> 00:09:29.830
[amen.] don't say you love somebody,
00:09:29.896 --> 00:09:31.231
Don't say you love somebody, and then go try and dig up
00:09:31.298 --> 00:09:32.466
And then go try and dig up dirt on that somebody.
00:09:32.532 --> 00:09:34.935
Dirt on that somebody. that's your desire to find out
00:09:35.002 --> 00:09:36.403
That's your desire to find out things that are harmful about
00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:37.771
Things that are harmful about that person so that you can
00:09:37.838 --> 00:09:38.872
That person so that you can use them for your purposes
00:09:38.939 --> 00:09:40.207
Use them for your purposes later.
00:09:40.273 --> 00:09:40.774
Later. that's not giving.
00:09:40.841 --> 00:09:41.675
That's not giving. that's taking.
00:09:41.742 --> 00:09:42.909
That's taking. [yes.]
00:09:42.976 --> 00:09:45.112
[yes.] here's the thing that's
00:09:45.178 --> 00:09:45.746
Here's the thing that's remarkable about it.
00:09:45.812 --> 00:09:46.947
Remarkable about it. jesus knows everything about
00:09:47.014 --> 00:09:48.382
Jesus knows everything about every one of us.
00:09:48.448 --> 00:09:49.483
Every one of us. [yes, he does.]
00:09:49.549 --> 00:09:50.450
[yes, he does.] [yes.]
00:09:50.517 --> 00:09:51.084
[yes.] he doesn't need somebody to
00:09:51.151 --> 00:09:52.219
He doesn't need somebody to fill in the blanks.
00:09:52.285 --> 00:09:53.253
Fill in the blanks. he knows them all.
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:54.488
He knows them all. [yes.]
00:09:54.554 --> 00:09:55.756
[yes.] and the bible says,
00:09:55.822 --> 00:09:56.323
And the bible says, he doesn't rejoice in
00:09:56.390 --> 00:09:57.290
He doesn't rejoice in any of it.
00:09:57.357 --> 00:09:59.860
Any of it. all he thinks about is not
00:09:59.926 --> 00:10:01.561
All he thinks about is not what you are,
00:10:01.628 --> 00:10:02.129
What you are, but what you could be.
00:10:02.195 --> 00:10:04.965
But what you could be. if you plant your life
00:10:05.032 --> 00:10:06.266
If you plant your life in christ,
00:10:06.333 --> 00:10:07.367
In christ, in god's grace,
00:10:07.434 --> 00:10:08.435
In god's grace, in faith,
00:10:08.502 --> 00:10:09.202
In faith, and these are your roots,
00:10:09.269 --> 00:10:13.306
And these are your roots, then the fruit of the spirit
00:10:13.373 --> 00:10:15.008
Then the fruit of the spirit is going to be what you
00:10:15.075 --> 00:10:15.976
Is going to be what you produce.
00:10:16.043 --> 00:10:17.577
Produce. jesus, in john 15,
00:10:17.644 --> 00:10:19.279
Jesus, in john 15, he said,
00:10:19.346 --> 00:10:19.913
He said, "you didn't choose me.
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:20.847
"you didn't choose me. i chose you...
00:10:20.914 --> 00:10:21.815
I chose you... that you should bear fruit
00:10:21.882 --> 00:10:23.016
That you should bear fruit and that your fruit should
00:10:23.083 --> 00:10:24.551
And that your fruit should remain."
00:10:24.618 --> 00:10:25.152
Remain." in matthew 12:33, it says,
00:10:25.218 --> 00:10:27.988
In matthew 12:33, it says, "the tree is known by its --"
00:10:28.055 --> 00:10:29.523
"the tree is known by its --" what?
00:10:29.589 --> 00:10:30.357
What? "-- fruit."
00:10:30.424 --> 00:10:32.325
"-- fruit." you can't claim that you've
00:10:32.392 --> 00:10:33.694
You can't claim that you've got the fruit of the spirit,
00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:35.162
Got the fruit of the spirit, and all that follows you
00:10:35.228 --> 00:10:36.263
And all that follows you is chaos,
00:10:36.329 --> 00:10:36.997
Is chaos, confusion,
00:10:37.064 --> 00:10:37.731
Confusion, division,
00:10:37.798 --> 00:10:38.365
Division, anxiety,
00:10:38.432 --> 00:10:39.132
Anxiety, and depression.
00:10:39.199 --> 00:10:41.535
And depression. you can't tell somebody,
00:10:41.601 --> 00:10:42.669
You can't tell somebody, "i'm growing in christ,"
00:10:42.736 --> 00:10:44.137
"i'm growing in christ," and everything in your life
00:10:44.204 --> 00:10:45.205
And everything in your life is a crime scene.
00:10:45.272 --> 00:10:46.573
Is a crime scene. [amen!]
00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:47.741
[amen!] (laughter)
00:10:47.808 --> 00:10:49.576
(laughter) the lusts of the flesh,
00:10:49.643 --> 00:10:50.877
The lusts of the flesh, based on paul's writings
00:10:50.944 --> 00:10:52.479
Based on paul's writings in galatians 5,
00:10:52.546 --> 00:10:54.214
In galatians 5, are a list that most of us
00:10:54.281 --> 00:10:55.482
Are a list that most of us think that we're not on.
00:10:55.549 --> 00:10:56.817
Think that we're not on. but if you take a second look,
00:10:56.883 --> 00:10:57.918
But if you take a second look, you'll find yourself in it.
00:10:57.984 --> 00:11:00.487
You'll find yourself in it. the lusts of the flesh start
00:11:00.554 --> 00:11:02.355
The lusts of the flesh start with moral sins.
00:11:02.422 --> 00:11:04.324
With moral sins. let's take a look at this tree
00:11:04.391 --> 00:11:05.692
Let's take a look at this tree and see how much fruit we can
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.993
And see how much fruit we can identify.
00:11:07.060 --> 00:11:07.961
Identify. these are the sins that you
00:11:08.028 --> 00:11:09.329
These are the sins that you commit in your moral self.
00:11:09.396 --> 00:11:13.834
Commit in your moral self. and it starts with immorality,
00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:16.002
And it starts with immorality, "adultery."
00:11:16.069 --> 00:11:16.870
"adultery." jesus said,
00:11:16.937 --> 00:11:17.504
Jesus said, "if anybody looks on a woman
00:11:17.571 --> 00:11:18.805
"if anybody looks on a woman with lust in his heart,
00:11:18.872 --> 00:11:19.740
With lust in his heart, he's committed adultery."
00:11:19.806 --> 00:11:21.041
He's committed adultery." [that's right.]
00:11:21.108 --> 00:11:23.009
[that's right.] immorality includes
00:11:23.076 --> 00:11:25.912
Immorality includes fornication,
00:11:25.979 --> 00:11:27.881
Fornication, which is hidden.
00:11:27.948 --> 00:11:30.550
Which is hidden. it's immoral things that you
00:11:30.617 --> 00:11:31.952
It's immoral things that you do that you don't want others
00:11:32.018 --> 00:11:33.053
Do that you don't want others to know about.
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:33.820
To know about. immorality in the greek is
00:11:33.887 --> 00:11:35.355
Immorality in the greek is actually translated "pornia"
00:11:35.422 --> 00:11:37.491
Actually translated "pornia" from where we get the word
00:11:37.557 --> 00:11:38.625
From where we get the word "pornography."
00:11:38.692 --> 00:11:41.061
"pornography." how much is pornography had
00:11:41.128 --> 00:11:43.463
How much is pornography had its grip on this generation?
00:11:43.530 --> 00:11:46.032
Its grip on this generation? [that's
00:11:46.099 --> 00:11:46.233
The glory of the lord
00:11:47.434 --> 00:11:48.735
Shall be revealed,
00:11:48.735 --> 00:11:50.137
And all flesh
00:11:50.137 --> 00:11:51.304
Shall see it together.
00:11:51.304 --> 00:11:52.606
Friend,
00:11:52.606 --> 00:11:53.340
God is still revealing
00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:54.574
His glory
00:11:54.574 --> 00:11:55.275
In your life, in your family
00:11:55.275 --> 00:11:57.244
And your future.
00:11:57.244 --> 00:11:58.478
No matter what you're facing,
00:11:58.478 --> 00:11:59.913
He is faithful
00:11:59.913 --> 00:12:00.781
To turn your mourning into joy
00:12:00.781 --> 00:12:03.250
And your midnight
00:12:03.250 --> 00:12:04.117
Into mourning.
00:12:04.117 --> 00:12:05.285
As this year comes to a close.
00:12:05.285 --> 00:12:06.820
Will you stand with
00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:07.621
Hagee ministries
00:12:07.621 --> 00:12:08.388
And help us finish strong?
00:12:08.388 --> 00:12:09.623
When you give a gift
00:12:09.623 --> 00:12:10.423

00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:13.493
Of jerusalem ornament.
00:12:13.493 --> 00:12:14.795

00:12:14.795 --> 00:12:15.996
Wood in israel.
00:12:15.996 --> 00:12:16.897
A daily reminder to pray
00:12:16.897 --> 00:12:18.298
For the peace of jerusalem.
00:12:18.298 --> 00:12:20.000
And when you share
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:20.767

00:12:27.941 --> 00:12:28.875
Brand new book,

The priceless
00:12:29.776 --> 00:12:30.544
Treasure of christmas.
00:12:30.544 --> 00:12:31.945
Your support makes it possible
00:12:31.945 --> 00:12:33.580
To share the gospel
00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:34.514
Across the nations, proclaiming
00:12:34.514 --> 00:12:36.249
That jesus christ is lord.
00:12:36.249 --> 00:12:37.918
Go to jhm.org/glory
00:12:37.918 --> 00:12:40.487
Together,
00:12:40.487 --> 00:12:41.021
Let's reveal his
00:12:41.021 --> 00:12:42.122
Glory to the world.
00:12:42.122 --> 00:12:45.458
There is hidden immorality,
00:12:45.525 --> 00:12:47.460
There is hidden immorality, and then there's outward
00:12:47.527 --> 00:12:48.795
And then there's outward immorality.
00:12:48.862 --> 00:12:49.529
Immorality. that's called "uncleanliness."
00:12:49.596 --> 00:12:52.299
That's called "uncleanliness." uncleanliness is willing to
00:12:52.365 --> 00:12:54.100
Uncleanliness is willing to say, "you know what?
00:12:54.167 --> 00:12:55.101
Say, "you know what? i don't care if people know
00:12:55.168 --> 00:12:56.403
I don't care if people know or they don't know.
00:12:56.469 --> 00:12:57.270
Or they don't know. i'm actually going to parade
00:12:57.337 --> 00:12:58.405
I'm actually going to parade myself,"
00:12:58.471 --> 00:13:00.073
Myself," which leads to lewdness
00:13:00.140 --> 00:13:01.575
Which leads to lewdness and vulgarity,
00:13:01.641 --> 00:13:02.676
And vulgarity, which is such a public
00:13:02.742 --> 00:13:03.743
Which is such a public and prominent demonstration
00:13:03.810 --> 00:13:05.512
And prominent demonstration of your immorality,
00:13:05.579 --> 00:13:06.913
Of your immorality, that you're proud of it.
00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:09.916
That you're proud of it. you parade it down the street.
00:13:09.983 --> 00:13:12.953
You parade it down the street. you want other people to know
00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:14.454
You want other people to know that this is how immoral
00:13:14.521 --> 00:13:16.156
That this is how immoral you are,
00:13:16.223 --> 00:13:16.890
You are, and then you want to claim
00:13:16.957 --> 00:13:17.991
And then you want to claim that you're a marginalized
00:13:18.058 --> 00:13:19.359
That you're a marginalized minority that deserves special
00:13:19.426 --> 00:13:21.027
Minority that deserves special treatment because of
00:13:21.094 --> 00:13:21.795
Treatment because of your foolish and unnatural
00:13:21.862 --> 00:13:23.697
Your foolish and unnatural decisions
00:13:23.763 --> 00:13:24.564
Decisions instead of your character.
00:13:24.631 --> 00:13:26.333
Instead of your character. [yes.]
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:26.967
[yes.] (applause)
00:13:27.033 --> 00:13:31.805
(applause) then there's spiritual sins.
00:13:31.872 --> 00:13:34.174
Then there's spiritual sins. don't think this is all
00:13:34.241 --> 00:13:35.008
Don't think this is all that's growing in this tree.
00:13:35.075 --> 00:13:35.809
That's growing in this tree. there's another side to
00:13:35.876 --> 00:13:36.576
There's another side to the tree.
00:13:36.643 --> 00:13:37.777
The tree. (laughter)
00:13:37.844 --> 00:13:39.246
(laughter) spiritual sins are the sins
00:13:39.312 --> 00:13:40.447
Spiritual sins are the sins against god,
00:13:40.513 --> 00:13:41.281
Against god, idolatry.
00:13:41.348 --> 00:13:42.883
Idolatry. anything that you love more
00:13:42.949 --> 00:13:44.517
Anything that you love more than jesus is an idol.
00:13:44.584 --> 00:13:46.253
Than jesus is an idol. [yes.]
00:13:46.319 --> 00:13:47.854
[yes.] samuel told saul,
00:13:47.921 --> 00:13:49.155
Samuel told saul, "the sin of stubbornness
00:13:49.222 --> 00:13:50.891
"the sin of stubbornness is as idolatry."
00:13:50.957 --> 00:13:51.858
Is as idolatry." when you put your will above
00:13:51.925 --> 00:13:53.260
When you put your will above god's will,
00:13:53.326 --> 00:13:53.994
God's will, your will is the idol.
00:13:54.060 --> 00:13:57.030
Your will is the idol. "hatred,
00:13:57.097 --> 00:13:58.965
"hatred, contention."
00:13:59.032 --> 00:14:00.767
Contention." "contention" is the spirit of
00:14:00.834 --> 00:14:02.269
"contention" is the spirit of disagreement.
00:14:02.335 --> 00:14:02.969
Disagreement. "well, i don't agree
00:14:03.036 --> 00:14:03.803
"well, i don't agree with you."
00:14:03.870 --> 00:14:04.504
With you." why?
00:14:04.571 --> 00:14:05.205
Why? "because i like it."
00:14:05.272 --> 00:14:06.673
"because i like it." (laughter)
00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:07.307
(laughter) and you've got people around
00:14:07.374 --> 00:14:08.074
And you've got people around you right now who are
00:14:08.141 --> 00:14:08.975
You right now who are that way.
00:14:09.042 --> 00:14:10.210
That way. [amen.]
00:14:10.277 --> 00:14:11.444
[amen.] the grass is green.
00:14:11.511 --> 00:14:12.679
The grass is green. "i don't think so."
00:14:12.746 --> 00:14:14.414
"i don't think so." (laughter)
00:14:14.481 --> 00:14:15.348
(laughter) "jealousy."
00:14:15.415 --> 00:14:16.850
"jealousy." jealousy is when you want
00:14:16.917 --> 00:14:18.451
Jealousy is when you want what someone else has,
00:14:18.518 --> 00:14:19.552
What someone else has, and you're willing to take
00:14:19.619 --> 00:14:20.320
And you're willing to take action to get it from them.
00:14:20.387 --> 00:14:22.155
Action to get it from them. [amen.]
00:14:22.222 --> 00:14:23.189
[amen.] "wrath."
00:14:23.256 --> 00:14:24.524
"wrath." you ever seen anybody use
00:14:24.591 --> 00:14:25.558
You ever seen anybody use their temper to try
00:14:25.625 --> 00:14:26.626
Their temper to try and control somebody else?
00:14:26.693 --> 00:14:27.827
And control somebody else? [absolutely.]
00:14:27.894 --> 00:14:28.962
[absolutely.] [yes.]
00:14:29.029 --> 00:14:29.629
[yes.] that's intimidation
00:14:29.696 --> 00:14:30.497
That's intimidation and manipulation,
00:14:30.563 --> 00:14:31.298
And manipulation, which is as witchcraft.
00:14:31.364 --> 00:14:32.966
Which is as witchcraft. "selfish ambition."
00:14:33.033 --> 00:14:35.035
"selfish ambition." selfish ambition is making it
00:14:35.101 --> 00:14:36.736
Selfish ambition is making it look like you're serving
00:14:36.803 --> 00:14:37.971
Look like you're serving others,
00:14:38.038 --> 00:14:38.538
Others, but what you're really doing
00:14:38.605 --> 00:14:39.272
But what you're really doing is trying to position yourself
00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:40.573
Is trying to position yourself for recognition.
00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:44.778
For recognition. you starting to see more
00:14:44.844 --> 00:14:45.545
You starting to see more people you know on this list?
00:14:45.612 --> 00:14:48.248
People you know on this list? "dissension and heresy,"
00:14:48.315 --> 00:14:51.117
"dissension and heresy," trying to create division in
00:14:51.184 --> 00:14:52.652
Trying to create division in the body of christ and utilize
00:14:52.719 --> 00:14:54.554
The body of christ and utilize faults teaching to have it
00:14:54.621 --> 00:14:55.855
Faults teaching to have it your way instead of god's way.
00:14:55.922 --> 00:14:58.491
Your way instead of god's way. [amen.]
00:14:58.558 --> 00:15:00.293
[amen.] if it's in the fruit,
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.662
If it's in the fruit, it's in the root.
00:15:02.729 --> 00:15:06.566
It's in the root. then paul says,
00:15:06.633 --> 00:15:07.467
Then paul says, "well, we're not done yet.
00:15:07.534 --> 00:15:08.702
"well, we're not done yet. there's also social sins."
00:15:08.768 --> 00:15:11.271
There's also social sins." let's go look at those.
00:15:11.338 --> 00:15:13.406
Let's go look at those. social sins are envy
00:15:13.473 --> 00:15:14.841
Social sins are envy and murder and drunkenness.
00:15:14.908 --> 00:15:16.242
And murder and drunkenness. these are easy to identify.
00:15:16.309 --> 00:15:19.612
These are easy to identify. but then he says
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.313
But then he says there's revelry,
00:15:20.380 --> 00:15:22.248
There's revelry, which "revelry" is not a word
00:15:22.315 --> 00:15:23.483
Which "revelry" is not a word that we use much these days,
00:15:23.550 --> 00:15:24.818
That we use much these days, but it really means anything
00:15:24.884 --> 00:15:26.319
But it really means anything in your life that's out of
00:15:26.386 --> 00:15:27.554
In your life that's out of control that you indulge in,
00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:29.689
Control that you indulge in, that you like so much
00:15:29.756 --> 00:15:31.291
That you like so much that when you start,
00:15:31.358 --> 00:15:32.058
That when you start, you can't stop.
00:15:32.125 --> 00:15:34.127
You can't stop. so drunkenness,
00:15:34.194 --> 00:15:35.528
So drunkenness, it means you drank so much
00:15:35.595 --> 00:15:36.496
It means you drank so much alcohol that you're not
00:15:36.563 --> 00:15:37.530
Alcohol that you're not in control of yourself.
00:15:37.597 --> 00:15:39.032
In control of yourself. but how many people want
00:15:39.099 --> 00:15:40.433
But how many people want to say, "well,
00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.067
To say, "well, that drunkenness is wrong.
00:15:41.134 --> 00:15:42.035
That drunkenness is wrong. but if i eat a bucket of
00:15:42.102 --> 00:15:43.036
But if i eat a bucket of chicken,
00:15:43.103 --> 00:15:43.603
Chicken, that's okay"?
00:15:43.670 --> 00:15:44.971
That's okay"? (laughter)
00:15:45.038 --> 00:15:45.872
(laughter) maybe it's funding indulgence.
00:15:45.939 --> 00:15:48.108
Maybe it's funding indulgence. you ever know somebody that
00:15:48.174 --> 00:15:49.009
You ever know somebody that has to spend so much that they
00:15:49.075 --> 00:15:50.577
Has to spend so much that they feel good about it?
00:15:50.643 --> 00:15:53.613
Feel good about it? they get high off of maxing
00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:55.682
They get high off of maxing out a credit card.
00:15:55.749 --> 00:15:57.851
Out a credit card. (laughter)
00:15:57.917 --> 00:15:58.885
(laughter) you don't know why.
00:15:58.952 --> 00:16:00.253
You don't know why. [no.]
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:00.887
[no.] but they do.
00:16:00.954 --> 00:16:02.455
But they do. (laughter)
00:16:02.522 --> 00:16:03.323
(laughter) they can't stop it.
00:16:03.390 --> 00:16:05.258
They can't stop it. "gossip."
00:16:05.325 --> 00:16:08.128
"gossip." some people are like
00:16:08.194 --> 00:16:08.862
Some people are like a shop-vac in a dust bowl.
00:16:08.928 --> 00:16:12.499
A shop-vac in a dust bowl. (laughter)
00:16:12.565 --> 00:16:12.966
(laughter) they just
00:16:13.033 --> 00:16:13.767
They just (makes sucking sound)
00:16:13.833 --> 00:16:14.734
(makes sucking sound) need to know as much dirt
00:16:14.801 --> 00:16:15.702
Need to know as much dirt as they can on everybody.
00:16:15.769 --> 00:16:19.005
As they can on everybody. these are revelries that
00:16:19.072 --> 00:16:21.641
These are revelries that paul says if they're present
00:16:21.708 --> 00:16:23.109
Paul says if they're present in your life,
00:16:23.176 --> 00:16:23.777
In your life, you've got a fruit problem.
00:16:23.843 --> 00:16:24.911
You've got a fruit problem. and if you've got a fruit
00:16:24.978 --> 00:16:25.812
And if you've got a fruit problem,
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:26.780
Problem, you've got a root problem.
00:16:26.846 --> 00:16:29.749
You've got a root problem. jesus said in matthew 7:16,
00:16:29.816 --> 00:16:32.452
Jesus said in matthew 7:16, "you will know them
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.154
"you will know them by their fruit."
00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:36.189
By their fruit." you can't hide it.
00:16:36.256 --> 00:16:37.223
You can't hide it. it's evident.
00:16:37.290 --> 00:16:39.993
It's evident. and if you're going to produce
00:16:40.060 --> 00:16:40.994
And if you're going to produce the kind of fruit that helps
00:16:41.061 --> 00:16:42.095
The kind of fruit that helps you outgrow depression,
00:16:42.162 --> 00:16:43.696
You outgrow depression, you can't do it on your own,
00:16:43.763 --> 00:16:45.632
You can't do it on your own, because these are the kinds of
00:16:45.698 --> 00:16:46.733
Because these are the kinds of fruits that your flesh
00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:47.934
Fruits that your flesh will produce.
00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:49.502
Will produce. [amen.]
00:16:49.569 --> 00:16:50.236
[amen.] you've got to be led by
00:16:50.303 --> 00:16:51.971
You've got to be led by the spirit.
00:16:52.038 --> 00:16:54.507
The spirit. and led by the spirit,
00:16:54.574 --> 00:16:55.742
And led by the spirit, you encounter god's love.
00:16:55.809 --> 00:16:58.511
You encounter god's love. encountering god's love,
00:16:58.578 --> 00:17:00.080
Encountering god's love, it takes root in your life.
00:17:00.146 --> 00:17:02.615
It takes root in your life. it takes root in your life,
00:17:02.682 --> 00:17:04.417
It takes root in your life, and it produces fruit.
00:17:04.484 --> 00:17:07.454
And it produces fruit. jesus said,
00:17:07.520 --> 00:17:08.021
Jesus said, "this fruit is how my father
00:17:08.088 --> 00:17:09.189
"this fruit is how my father is glorified."
00:17:09.255 --> 00:17:10.256
Is glorified." but then he lists the fruits
00:17:10.323 --> 00:17:11.825
But then he lists the fruits in paul's writing
00:17:11.891 --> 00:17:12.826
In paul's writing in galatians.
00:17:12.892 --> 00:17:14.194
In galatians. he said,
00:17:14.260 --> 00:17:14.694
He said, "the fruit of the spirit."
00:17:14.761 --> 00:17:15.795
"the fruit of the spirit." let's take a look at
00:17:15.862 --> 00:17:16.563
Let's take a look at this tree.
00:17:16.629 --> 00:17:18.731
This tree. it's grown in love,
00:17:18.798 --> 00:17:21.668
It's grown in love, love that never fails.
00:17:21.734 --> 00:17:24.237
Love that never fails. and it includes:
00:17:24.304 --> 00:17:24.938
And it includes: "love, joy,
00:17:25.004 --> 00:17:25.839
"love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
00:17:25.905 --> 00:17:27.173
Peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:27.974
Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
00:17:28.041 --> 00:17:29.742
Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:31.911
Self-control." now if the roots are from
00:17:31.978 --> 00:17:34.481
Now if the roots are from corinthians,
00:17:34.547 --> 00:17:36.282
Corinthians, how many of you recognize
00:17:36.349 --> 00:17:37.717
How many of you recognize the fruit in galatians found
00:17:37.784 --> 00:17:41.354
The fruit in galatians found in the roots from corinthians?
00:17:41.421 --> 00:17:45.058
In the roots from corinthians? if it's in the root,
00:17:45.125 --> 00:17:47.060
If it's in the root, where can you find it?
00:17:47.127 --> 00:17:48.528
Where can you find it? in the fruit.
00:17:48.595 --> 00:17:50.997
In the fruit. if you grow in god's love,
00:17:51.064 --> 00:17:53.800
If you grow in god's love, you're going to grow love,
00:17:53.867 --> 00:17:55.902
You're going to grow love, which is an antidepressant;

Antidepressant; self-control,

Self-control, which is a--

Which is a-- [antidepressant.]
00:18:20.026 --> 00:18:22.562
[antidepressant.] and you don't think that god's
00:18:22.629 --> 00:18:23.663
And you don't think that god's word can't cure what ails you?
00:18:23.730 --> 00:18:26.666
Word can't cure what ails you? [yes, it can.]
00:18:26.733 --> 00:18:28.401
[yes, it can.] he didn't say you grow
00:18:28.468 --> 00:18:29.435
He didn't say you grow love, joy, peace,
00:18:29.502 --> 00:18:30.236
Love, joy, peace, and a prescription.
00:18:30.303 --> 00:18:32.572
And a prescription. (laughter)
00:18:32.639 --> 00:18:34.040
(laughter) [touché.]
00:18:34.107 --> 00:18:34.674
[touché.] he said,
00:18:34.741 --> 00:18:35.375
He said, "plant yourself in my word
00:18:35.441 --> 00:18:36.776
"plant yourself in my word and my word abides in you,
00:18:36.843 --> 00:18:38.478
And my word abides in you, and my joy will be your joy,
00:18:38.545 --> 00:18:40.213
And my joy will be your joy, and your joy will be pull."
00:18:40.280 --> 00:18:42.582
And your joy will be pull." [amen.]
00:18:42.649 --> 00:18:43.116
[amen.] how is it evidenced?
00:18:43.183 --> 00:18:45.818
How is it evidenced? "that you love --" who?
00:18:45.885 --> 00:18:48.688
"that you love --" who? "-- one another."
00:18:48.755 --> 00:18:50.123
"-- one another." the fruit that the spirit
00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:51.925
The fruit that the spirit produces in your life is for
00:18:51.991 --> 00:18:54.928
Produces in your life is for the picking,
00:18:54.994 --> 00:18:56.930
The picking, not preserving.
00:18:56.996 --> 00:19:00.033
Not preserving. some people want love,
00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:01.167
Some people want love, joy, peace,
00:19:01.234 --> 00:19:01.935
Joy, peace, and they want to can it
00:19:02.001 --> 00:19:03.102
And they want to can it all for themselves.
00:19:03.169 --> 00:19:04.504
All for themselves. but trees don't grow fruit
00:19:04.571 --> 00:19:06.272
But trees don't grow fruit for themselves.
00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:06.940
For themselves. apple trees don't grow apples
00:19:07.006 --> 00:19:08.942
Apple trees don't grow apples for apples.
00:19:09.008 --> 00:19:12.111
For apples. fruit is grown to be picked.
00:19:12.178 --> 00:19:15.548
Fruit is grown to be picked. and one of the problems that
00:19:15.615 --> 00:19:16.516
And one of the problems that we have in the church today is
00:19:16.583 --> 00:19:18.051
We have in the church today is that we put a "no trespassing"
00:19:18.117 --> 00:19:19.452
That we put a "no trespassing" sign around our tree.
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.955
Sign around our tree. "don't touch me.
00:19:22.021 --> 00:19:24.791
"don't touch me. don't come near me.
00:19:24.857 --> 00:19:26.893
Don't come near me. don't bother me.
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:28.928
Don't bother me. don't ask me.
00:19:28.995 --> 00:19:31.297
Don't ask me. don't involve me,
00:19:31.364 --> 00:19:32.632
Don't involve me, just let me come to church,
00:19:32.699 --> 00:19:33.800
Just let me come to church, get fed, watered,
00:19:33.866 --> 00:19:34.767
Get fed, watered, and sent out.
00:19:34.834 --> 00:19:35.868
And sent out. but don't pick anything
00:19:35.935 --> 00:19:37.437
But don't pick anything off of me."
00:19:37.503 --> 00:19:41.741
Off of me." and that's not why you produce
00:19:41.808 --> 00:19:42.909
And that's not why you produce fruit.
00:19:42.976 --> 00:19:46.045
Fruit. galatians 6 is where paul kind
00:19:46.112 --> 00:19:47.981
Galatians 6 is where paul kind of summarizes this letter to
00:19:48.047 --> 00:19:49.816
Of summarizes this letter to the church in galatia.
00:19:49.882 --> 00:19:51.985
The church in galatia. and he's upset with them.
00:19:52.051 --> 00:19:54.087
And he's upset with them. they think that they can do
00:19:54.153 --> 00:19:55.421
They think that they can do god's thing their way.
00:19:55.488 --> 00:19:58.391
God's thing their way. that's why he said
00:19:58.458 --> 00:19:59.259
That's why he said in galatians 3,
00:19:59.325 --> 00:20:00.193
In galatians 3, "you foolish galatians.
00:20:00.260 --> 00:20:02.295
"you foolish galatians. who deceived you?"
00:20:02.362 --> 00:20:04.964
Who deceived you?" and then he starts talking
00:20:05.031 --> 00:20:05.798
And then he starts talking about this love that christ
00:20:05.865 --> 00:20:08.835
About this love that christ had for them and how they have
00:20:08.901 --> 00:20:10.970
Had for them and how they have to walk in the spirit
00:20:11.037 --> 00:20:12.005
To walk in the spirit to produce the fruit
00:20:12.071 --> 00:20:13.406
To produce the fruit of the spirit.
00:20:13.473 --> 00:20:14.173
Of the spirit. and then he gets to
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:14.941
And then he gets to galatians 6 where he says,
00:20:15.008 --> 00:20:16.376
Galatians 6 where he says, "god isn't mocked.
00:20:16.442 --> 00:20:18.578
"god isn't mocked. if you sow in the flesh,
00:20:18.645 --> 00:20:19.579
If you sow in the flesh, you're going reap
00:20:19.646 --> 00:20:20.146
You're going reap in the flesh.
00:20:20.213 --> 00:20:20.713
In the flesh. if you sow in the spirit,
00:20:20.780 --> 00:20:21.581
If you sow in the spirit, you're going to reap
00:20:21.648 --> 00:20:22.348
You're going to reap in the spirit."
00:20:22.415 --> 00:20:23.850
In the spirit." and the kind of the love

And the kind of the love and the kind of fruit that
00:20:24.851 --> 00:20:25.618
And the kind of fruit that he's talking about,
00:20:25.685 --> 00:20:26.519
He's talking about, he's saying,
00:20:26.586 --> 00:20:27.253
He's saying, let as many people as want

Let as many people as want pick it,
00:20:29.122 --> 00:20:32.025
Pick it, which is why in galatians,

Which is why in galatians, he says,
00:20:32.959 --> 00:20:33.426
He says, "bear one another's burdens,
00:20:33.493 --> 00:20:37.397
"bear one another's burdens, in so doing,

[there you go.] now the problem is,
00:21:07.894 --> 00:21:08.928
Now the problem is, if i come to you and you don't
00:21:08.995 --> 00:21:10.630
If i come to you and you don't have any of the fruit
00:21:10.697 --> 00:21:11.597
Have any of the fruit of the spirit,
00:21:11.664 --> 00:21:12.198
Of the spirit, all you've got is the lust of
00:21:12.265 --> 00:21:13.232
All you've got is the lust of the flesh,
00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:13.866
The flesh, what can i pick?!
00:21:13.933 --> 00:21:15.201
What can i pick?! [that's good.]
00:21:15.268 --> 00:21:17.070
[that's good.] and if you come to me
00:21:17.136 --> 00:21:17.937
And if you come to me and i'm picked over,
00:21:18.004 --> 00:21:20.673
And i'm picked over, what can you take?
00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:23.009
What can you take? ♪ music ♪
00:21:23.076 --> 00:21:24.977
♪ music ♪ now why did paul tell
00:21:25.044 --> 00:21:26.846
Now why did paul tell the galatians,
00:21:26.913 --> 00:21:29.849
The galatians, "do not grow weary
00:21:29.916 --> 00:21:31.818
"do not grow weary while doing good"?
00:21:31.884 --> 00:21:34.887
While doing good"? because some of the people
00:21:34.954 --> 00:21:35.688
Because some of the people in the church were saying,
00:21:35.755 --> 00:21:36.589
In the church were saying, "you know what?
00:21:36.656 --> 00:21:37.323
"you know what? i'm tired of getting
00:21:37.390 --> 00:21:38.157
I'm tired of getting picked on.
00:21:38.224 --> 00:21:40.893
Picked on. all they do is pick, pick,
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.128
All they do is pick, pick, pick, pick, pick,
00:21:42.195 --> 00:21:42.962
Pick, pick, pick, pick, pick."
00:21:43.029 --> 00:21:46.599
Pick, pick." and in church,
00:21:46.666 --> 00:21:47.200
And in church, sometimes there's a lot of
00:21:47.266 --> 00:21:48.234
Sometimes there's a lot of pickers and not--
00:21:48.301 --> 00:21:49.369
Pickers and not-- not a lot of providers.
00:21:49.435 --> 00:21:53.306
Not a lot of providers. but the problem with that
00:21:53.373 --> 00:21:54.140
But the problem with that attitude is that you are
00:21:54.207 --> 00:21:55.541
Attitude is that you are looking to a man to replenish
00:21:55.608 --> 00:21:57.310
Looking to a man to replenish you.
00:21:57.377 --> 00:22:00.046
