00:00:14.297 --> 00:00:15.198
Pastor matt hagee: if you brought your bibles,
00:00:15.265 --> 00:00:15.832
Brought your bibles, turn them to the book of
00:00:15.899 --> 00:00:17.367
Turn them to the book of 2 timothy 1:7,
00:00:17.434 --> 00:00:21.471
2 timothy 1:7, as this morning we begin
00:00:21.538 --> 00:00:22.472
As this morning we begin a sermon series entitled
00:00:22.539 --> 00:00:24.808
A sermon series entitled "say it ain't so."
00:00:24.874 --> 00:00:27.243
"say it ain't so." how many of you have ever
00:00:27.310 --> 00:00:28.278
How many of you have ever heard or said those words?
00:00:28.344 --> 00:00:32.015
Heard or said those words? you use them whenever you're
00:00:32.082 --> 00:00:33.249
You use them whenever you're hearing things that are hard
00:00:33.316 --> 00:00:35.251
Hearing things that are hard to believe.
00:00:35.318 --> 00:00:36.920
To believe. that's the title of
00:00:36.986 --> 00:00:38.121
That's the title of this message this morning,
00:00:38.188 --> 00:00:39.556
This message this morning, "things that are too hard
00:00:39.622 --> 00:00:41.591
"things that are too hard to believe."
00:00:41.658 --> 00:00:42.258
To believe." the idea for this sermon
00:00:42.325 --> 00:00:43.359
The idea for this sermon series came to me when i was
00:00:43.426 --> 00:00:45.028
Series came to me when i was considering the way things
00:00:45.095 --> 00:00:46.329
Considering the way things were when i was growing up
00:00:46.396 --> 00:00:48.431
Were when i was growing up as a child.
00:00:48.498 --> 00:00:49.899
As a child. you see,
00:00:49.966 --> 00:00:50.500
You see, this was before technology
00:00:50.567 --> 00:00:51.668
This was before technology hijacked conversation,
00:00:51.734 --> 00:00:54.971
Hijacked conversation, and people used to do
00:00:55.038 --> 00:00:55.738
And people used to do something that was really
00:00:55.805 --> 00:00:58.508
Something that was really the original form of
00:00:58.575 --> 00:00:59.742
The original form of social networking.
00:00:59.809 --> 00:01:01.111
Social networking. it was called visiting.
00:01:01.177 --> 00:01:04.280
It was called visiting. (laughter)
00:01:04.347 --> 00:01:04.747
(laughter) how many of you are old enough
00:01:04.814 --> 00:01:05.815
How many of you are old enough to remember visiting?
00:01:05.882 --> 00:01:07.617
To remember visiting? [amen!]
00:01:07.684 --> 00:01:08.651
[amen!] my parents would walk into
00:01:08.718 --> 00:01:09.452
My parents would walk into the living room,
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.186
The living room, and they would say,
00:01:10.253 --> 00:01:10.720
And they would say, "children, come on;
00:01:10.787 --> 00:01:11.955
"children, come on; we're going over to the jones',
00:01:12.021 --> 00:01:13.556
We're going over to the jones', we're going over to
00:01:13.623 --> 00:01:14.357
We're going over to the smith's."
00:01:14.424 --> 00:01:15.625
The smith's." in san antonio,
00:01:15.692 --> 00:01:16.392
In san antonio, most of the time it was more
00:01:16.459 --> 00:01:17.527
Most of the time it was more like garcia,
00:01:17.594 --> 00:01:18.461
Like garcia, gonzalez,
00:01:18.528 --> 00:01:19.429
Gonzalez, ramos.
00:01:19.496 --> 00:01:20.930
Ramos. (laughter)
00:01:20.997 --> 00:01:23.433
(laughter) "we're going to
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:23.900

Your grandparents." and they would say,

And they would say, "we're going for a visit."
00:01:25.702 --> 00:01:29.038
"we're going for a visit." now if you were a child,
00:01:29.105 --> 00:01:30.373
Now if you were a child, you understood that during
00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:31.541
You understood that during the visit,
00:01:31.608 --> 00:01:32.175
The visit, there were three rules
00:01:32.242 --> 00:01:33.443
There were three rules that needed to be followed
00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:34.711
That needed to be followed for every child.
00:01:34.777 --> 00:01:36.513
For every child. rule number one,
00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:38.214
Rule number one, you are to be seen and not --
00:01:38.281 --> 00:01:41.651

A part of our vocabulary. [right!]

[right!] (applause)
00:02:07.243 --> 00:02:09.612
(applause) the reason that i choose this
00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:10.813
The reason that i choose this title is because the world
00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:11.981
Title is because the world that we live in is starting
00:02:12.048 --> 00:02:13.783
That we live in is starting to treat people of faith
00:02:13.850 --> 00:02:16.085
To treat people of faith like children.
00:02:16.152 --> 00:02:17.387
Like children. [amen.]
00:02:17.453 --> 00:02:17.987
[amen.] they want the church to be seen
00:02:18.054 --> 00:02:20.523
They want the church to be seen but not heard.
00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:22.592
But not heard. they want the church to not
00:02:22.659 --> 00:02:24.928
They want the church to not speak unless spoken to.
00:02:24.994 --> 00:02:27.897
Speak unless spoken to. they're doing everything they
00:02:27.964 --> 00:02:28.932
They're doing everything they can to sensor our freedom of
00:02:28.998 --> 00:02:30.600

And they're wanting us to just accept these terms on any
00:02:35.672 --> 00:02:38.041
Accept these terms on any condition that they label
00:02:38.107 --> 00:02:39.375
Condition that they label them.
00:02:39.442 --> 00:02:40.710
Them. today, i want us to look at
00:02:40.777 --> 00:02:41.811
Today, i want us to look at what the bible has to say about
00:02:41.878 --> 00:02:43.246
What the bible has to say about who we are in the world
00:02:43.313 --> 00:02:44.847
Who we are in the world and what we have the right
00:02:44.914 --> 00:02:46.216
And what we have the right to say.
00:02:46.282 --> 00:02:47.584
To say. if you found 2 timothy 1:7,
00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:50.019
If you found 2 timothy 1:7, say, amen.
00:02:50.086 --> 00:02:51.120
Say, amen. [amen!]
00:02:51.187 --> 00:02:51.621
[amen!] let's read it together.
00:02:51.688 --> 00:02:53.223
Let's read it together. "for god has not given us
00:02:53.289 --> 00:02:55.825
"for god has not given us a spirit of fear,
00:02:55.892 --> 00:02:57.760
A spirit of fear, but of power,
00:02:57.827 --> 00:02:59.195
But of power, and of love,
00:02:59.262 --> 00:03:00.730
And of love, and of a sound mind."
00:03:00.797 --> 00:03:02.732
And of a sound mind." [amen!]
00:03:02.799 --> 00:03:03.433
[amen!] heavenly father,
00:03:03.499 --> 00:03:04.734
Heavenly father, today i pray that
00:03:04.801 --> 00:03:06.302
Today i pray that the holy spirit opens our
00:03:06.369 --> 00:03:07.737
The holy spirit opens our hearts to hear and our minds
00:03:07.804 --> 00:03:10.273
Hearts to hear and our minds to receive your truth;
00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:12.141
To receive your truth; that we would recognize that
00:03:12.208 --> 00:03:13.243
That we would recognize that in your divine wisdom,
00:03:13.309 --> 00:03:14.544
In your divine wisdom, you placed us here for such
00:03:14.611 --> 00:03:16.012
You placed us here for such a time as this;
00:03:16.079 --> 00:03:17.847
A time as this; that we might be able to make
00:03:17.914 --> 00:03:19.048
That we might be able to make your glory known in all
00:03:19.115 --> 00:03:20.750
Your glory known in all the earth.
00:03:20.817 --> 00:03:21.951
The earth. these things we ask,
00:03:22.018 --> 00:03:22.819
These things we ask, in jesus' name.
00:03:22.885 --> 00:03:23.786
In jesus' name. and we receive them,
00:03:23.853 --> 00:03:24.621
And we receive them, in faith believing.
00:03:24.687 --> 00:03:26.089
In faith believing. and all of god's children
00:03:26.155 --> 00:03:26.889
And all of god's children said, praise the lord.
00:03:26.956 --> 00:03:28.091
Said, praise the lord. [praise the lord!]
00:03:28.157 --> 00:03:29.025
[praise the lord!] you may be seated.
00:03:29.092 --> 00:03:32.195
You may be seated. whenever we were children
00:03:32.262 --> 00:03:33.229
Whenever we were children and going on visits,
00:03:33.296 --> 00:03:34.564
And going on visits, we often understood that
00:03:34.631 --> 00:03:36.132
We often understood that at some point
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:36.899
At some point in the conversation,
00:03:36.966 --> 00:03:37.934
In the conversation, the topic was going to get
00:03:38.001 --> 00:03:39.135
The topic was going to get too heavy or to intense
00:03:39.202 --> 00:03:40.870
Too heavy or to intense for young ears to hear.
00:03:40.937 --> 00:03:43.406
For young ears to hear. and so we would be given
00:03:43.473 --> 00:03:44.641
And so we would be given the command to go outside.
00:03:44.707 --> 00:03:47.777
The command to go outside. how many of you've ever been
00:03:47.844 --> 00:03:48.678
How many of you've ever been sent outside?
00:03:48.745 --> 00:03:50.780
Sent outside? (laughter)
00:03:50.847 --> 00:03:51.981
(laughter) it didn't even matter if you
00:03:52.048 --> 00:03:52.915
It didn't even matter if you had a toy.
00:03:52.982 --> 00:03:53.616
Had a toy. if you had an imagination,
00:03:53.683 --> 00:03:54.817
If you had an imagination, that was good enough; just go.
00:03:54.884 --> 00:03:56.819
That was good enough; just go. (laughter)
00:03:56.886 --> 00:03:57.854
(laughter) if we were over at
00:03:57.920 --> 00:03:58.421
If we were over at the castro's house,
00:03:58.488 --> 00:03:59.522
The castro's house, my mother's family,
00:03:59.589 --> 00:04:00.657
My mother's family, we weren't told to go outside.
00:04:00.723 --> 00:04:01.858
We weren't told to go outside. it was,
00:04:01.924 --> 00:04:02.458
It was, "vamonos por alla."
00:04:02.525 --> 00:04:03.860
"vamonos por alla." (let's go over there.)
00:04:03.926 --> 00:04:05.194
(let's go over there.) (laughter)
00:04:05.261 --> 00:04:05.461
(laughter) and then someone would
00:04:05.528 --> 00:04:06.262
And then someone would chastise whoever brought up
00:04:06.329 --> 00:04:07.430
Chastise whoever brought up the heavy topic.
00:04:07.497 --> 00:04:08.197
The heavy topic. "papi, pobrecitos los niños.
00:04:08.264 --> 00:04:09.866
"papi, pobrecitos los niños. (daddy, the poor children.)
00:04:09.932 --> 00:04:11.034
(daddy, the poor children.) "ya basta."
00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:11.768
"ya basta." (stop.)
00:04:11.834 --> 00:04:12.435
(stop.) either way,
00:04:12.502 --> 00:04:13.202
Either way, we understood that we couldn't
00:04:13.269 --> 00:04:13.803
We understood that we couldn't hear what was about to be
00:04:13.870 --> 00:04:14.937
Hear what was about to be said.
00:04:15.004 --> 00:04:16.172
Said. this is where you learn
00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:17.073
This is where you learn the art of cupping.
00:04:17.140 --> 00:04:19.275
The art of cupping. (laughter & applause)
00:04:19.342 --> 00:04:23.680
(laughter & applause) and it was in these moments
00:04:23.746 --> 00:04:25.181
And it was in these moments where you have your hand
00:04:25.248 --> 00:04:26.582
Where you have your hand cupped behind your ear and
00:04:26.649 --> 00:04:27.850
Cupped behind your ear and pressed against the door that
00:04:27.917 --> 00:04:29.285
Pressed against the door that someone would say something
00:04:29.352 --> 00:04:30.586
Someone would say something that was so hard to believe.
00:04:30.653 --> 00:04:32.221
That was so hard to believe. and the response that would
00:04:32.288 --> 00:04:33.156
And the response that would be given is,
00:04:33.222 --> 00:04:34.324
Be given is, "say it ain't so."
00:04:34.390 --> 00:04:37.126
"say it ain't so." i was thinking the other day;
00:04:37.193 --> 00:04:38.361
I was thinking the other day; what would happen if i were to
00:04:38.428 --> 00:04:39.696
What would happen if i were to be able to sit down with my
00:04:39.762 --> 00:04:41.097
Be able to sit down with my grandmother or my grandfather
00:04:41.164 --> 00:04:43.766
Grandmother or my grandfather and share with them the things
00:04:43.833 --> 00:04:45.368
And share with them the things that are happening
00:04:45.435 --> 00:04:46.402
That are happening in the world around us today.
00:04:46.469 --> 00:04:48.404
In the world around us today. have you ever wondered what it
00:04:48.471 --> 00:04:49.439
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go get one of
00:04:49.505 --> 00:04:50.707
Would be like to go get one of your beloved relatives from
00:04:50.773 --> 00:04:52.041
Your beloved relatives from a generation ago and sit down
00:04:52.108 --> 00:04:54.110
A generation ago and sit down and tell them about what's
00:04:54.177 --> 00:04:55.211
And tell them about what's happening?
00:04:55.278 --> 00:04:57.280
Happening? could you imagine what they
00:04:57.347 --> 00:04:58.348
Could you imagine what they would say if you could sit
00:04:58.414 --> 00:05:01.417
Would say if you could sit down and tell them about tens
00:05:01.484 --> 00:05:02.919

And looting, and burning down,

And burning down, there were elected officials

There were elected officials in the city council who voted
00:05:20.570 --> 00:05:22.605
In the city council who voted to defund the police.
00:05:22.672 --> 00:05:25.441
To defund the police. [that's right.]

Believe about the world we're living in where medical

We are now allowing men to compete in women's sports,
00:05:48.698 --> 00:05:50.600
Compete in women's sports, and we're actually foolish
00:05:50.666 --> 00:05:51.734
And we're actually foolish enough to call it "equality."
00:05:51.801 --> 00:05:54.370
Enough to call it "equality." (laughter)
00:05:54.437 --> 00:05:55.905

We've told them a lie and called it science,
00:06:09.285 --> 00:06:10.620
And called it science, declaring that they have
00:06:10.686 --> 00:06:12.021
Declaring that they have evolved from animals.
00:06:12.088 --> 00:06:13.523
Evolved from animals. and we wonder why they act
00:06:13.589 --> 00:06:14.690
And we wonder why they act the way they do.
00:06:14.757 --> 00:06:16.726
The way they do. (laughter)
00:06:16.793 --> 00:06:18.661

Our history, teaching them how to hate

They've sworn to uphold, in their favor.
00:06:28.438 --> 00:06:30.373
In their favor. they've used the power of

The people, and they're camouflaging
00:06:34.410 --> 00:06:35.678
And they're camouflaging tyranny,
00:06:35.745 --> 00:06:36.412
Tyranny, and calling it
00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:37.079
And calling it "an executive order."

They've turned the land of the free into a socialist swamp.
00:06:42.151 --> 00:06:44.754
Free into a socialist swamp. and if you think socialism
00:06:44.821 --> 00:06:45.955
And if you think socialism works,
00:06:46.022 --> 00:06:46.489

Things that i'm describing are very true.

Are very true. and not only are they true,

And not only are they true, but they're so overwhelming
00:07:01.137 --> 00:07:02.839
But they're so overwhelming and they're so disappointing;
00:07:02.905 --> 00:07:04.807
And they're so disappointing; that oftentimes,
00:07:04.874 --> 00:07:05.808
That oftentimes, what we attempt to do is just
00:07:05.875 --> 00:07:07.243
What we attempt to do is just simply escape and disconnect
00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:09.278
Simply escape and disconnect any way that we can.
00:07:09.345 --> 00:07:11.247

Where can you turn in a generation where the truth
00:07:16.586 --> 00:07:18.087
A generation where the truth has become a lie and the lie
00:07:18.154 --> 00:07:20.056
Has become a lie and the lie has become a truth?
00:07:20.122 --> 00:07:21.757
Has become a truth? who do you look to when all of
00:07:21.824 --> 00:07:23.259
Who do you look to when all of the experts have an agenda,
00:07:23.326 --> 00:07:25.495
The experts have an agenda, and everyone who is defending
00:07:25.561 --> 00:07:26.762
And everyone who is defending liberty is being canceled
00:07:26.829 --> 00:07:28.464
Liberty is being canceled and ignored?

The future when the challenges and the burdens of today
00:07:33.035 --> 00:07:34.170

00:10:02.918 --> 00:10:05.021
Sweeteners. there's an aisle in
00:10:05.087 --> 00:10:06.055
There's an aisle in the grocery store that sells
00:10:06.122 --> 00:10:07.723
The grocery store that sells meat that's not meat.
00:10:07.790 --> 00:10:10.326
Meat that's not meat. (laughter)
00:10:10.393 --> 00:10:11.961
(laughter) there's artificial
00:10:12.028 --> 00:10:12.662
There's artificial relationships.
00:10:12.728 --> 00:10:15.164
Relationships. it's called social media.
00:10:15.231 --> 00:10:17.500
It's called social media. you think if you click "like"
00:10:17.566 --> 00:10:18.901
You think if you click "like" or you follow,
00:10:18.968 --> 00:10:19.702
Or you follow, that suddenly you've got
00:10:19.769 --> 00:10:20.436
That suddenly you've got a relationship,
00:10:20.503 --> 00:10:21.404
A relationship, and you're friends.
00:10:21.470 --> 00:10:23.639
And you're friends. we've got artificial families.
00:10:23.706 --> 00:10:26.442
We've got artificial families. everywhere you turn,
00:10:26.509 --> 00:10:27.810
Everywhere you turn, we, as a nation,
00:10:27.877 --> 00:10:28.711
We, as a nation, are doing everything we can
00:10:28.778 --> 00:10:30.346
Are doing everything we can to normalize every type of
00:10:30.413 --> 00:10:32.214
To normalize every type of relationship except
00:10:32.281 --> 00:10:33.783
Relationship except the biblical relationship
00:10:33.849 --> 00:10:35.051
The biblical relationship that defines marriage.
00:10:35.117 --> 00:10:36.018
That defines marriage. in this artificial world,
00:10:36.085 --> 00:10:37.453
In this artificial world, we've created a substitute
00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:38.888
We've created a substitute for everything.
00:10:38.954 --> 00:10:39.922
For everything. and suddenly,
00:10:39.989 --> 00:10:40.690
And suddenly, we see ourselves in a world
00:10:40.756 --> 00:10:42.124
We see ourselves in a world where we have an association
00:10:42.191 --> 00:10:43.626
Where we have an association with church,
00:10:43.693 --> 00:10:44.260
With church, but we do not have
00:10:44.326 --> 00:10:44.960
But we do not have a relationship with
00:10:45.027 --> 00:10:45.995
A relationship with jesus christ.
00:10:46.062 --> 00:10:47.463
Jesus christ. [that's right.]
00:10:47.530 --> 00:10:48.164
[that's right.] it's artificial.
00:10:48.230 --> 00:10:49.465
It's artificial. (applause)
00:10:49.532 --> 00:10:50.132
(applause) 2 corinthians 13:5, it says,
00:10:50.199 --> 00:10:52.635
2 corinthians 13:5, it says, "examine yourselves as to
00:10:52.702 --> 00:10:54.136
"examine yourselves as to whether you be of the faith.
00:10:54.203 --> 00:10:55.738
Whether you be of the faith. test yourselves.
00:10:55.805 --> 00:10:57.740
Test yourselves. do you not know that christ is
00:10:57.807 --> 00:10:59.942
Do you not know that christ is in you?"
00:11:00.009 --> 00:11:01.243
In you?" [yes.]
00:11:01.310 --> 00:11:01.610
[yes.] he's in you.
00:11:01.677 --> 00:11:03.679
He's in you. this is why the bible says,
00:11:03.746 --> 00:11:04.747
This is why the bible says, "greater is he who is in me
00:11:04.814 --> 00:11:07.383
"greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world."
00:11:07.450 --> 00:11:09.351
Than he who is in the world." [yes.]
00:11:09.418 --> 00:11:09.919
[yes.] this is why we do not have
00:11:09.985 --> 00:11:11.053
This is why we do not have a spirit of fear when it comes
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.421
A spirit of fear when it comes to sharing our faith,
00:11:12.488 --> 00:11:13.689
To sharing our faith, but we have the power to do
00:11:13.756 --> 00:11:15.057
But we have the power to do so, we have the love of god,
00:11:15.124 --> 00:11:17.159
So, we have the love of god, and we have a sound mind.
00:11:17.226 --> 00:11:19.061
And we have a sound mind. [amen.]
00:11:19.128 --> 00:11:19.995
[amen.] people say, "well pastor,
00:11:20.062 --> 00:11:20.796
People say, "well pastor, how can you say that there's
00:11:20.863 --> 00:11:21.831
How can you say that there's an artificial church?"
00:11:21.897 --> 00:11:23.432
An artificial church?" because if we were the living
00:11:23.499 --> 00:11:24.934
Because if we were the living church of the living god,
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.535
Church of the living god, using his living word,
00:11:26.602 --> 00:11:27.937
Using his living word, there is no way that
00:11:28.003 --> 00:11:29.105
There is no way that this nation would be in such
00:11:29.171 --> 00:11:30.506
This nation would be in such moral chaos and corruption.
00:11:30.573 --> 00:11:33.109
Moral chaos and corruption. we have confused the
00:11:33.175 --> 00:11:34.310
We have confused the artificial with the authentic.
00:11:34.376 --> 00:11:36.378
Artificial with the authentic. we've swallowed the substitute
00:11:36.445 --> 00:11:38.380
We've swallowed the substitute instead of living on
00:11:38.447 --> 00:11:39.749
Instead of living on the real thing.
00:11:39.815 --> 00:11:41.250
The real thing. rather than preach the word of
00:11:41.317 --> 00:11:42.918
Rather than preach the word of the living god in our pulpits,
00:11:42.985 --> 00:11:44.420
The living god in our pulpits, we've heaped up for ourselves
00:11:44.487 --> 00:11:45.988
We've heaped up for ourselves teachers,
00:11:46.055 --> 00:11:46.789
Teachers, who will tell us what we want
00:11:46.856 --> 00:11:48.457
Who will tell us what we want to hear instead of the truth
00:11:48.524 --> 00:11:50.292
To hear instead of the truth that we need to hear.
00:11:50.359 --> 00:11:52.128
That we need to hear. rather than standing up and
00:11:52.194 --> 00:11:53.229
Rather than standing up and believing what the bible says,
00:11:53.295 --> 00:11:55.097
Believing what the bible says, we've given god 90 minutes of
00:11:55.164 --> 00:11:56.866
We've given god 90 minutes of a service on sunday,
00:11:56.932 --> 00:11:58.267
A service on sunday, and then we live like we want
00:11:58.334 --> 00:11:59.702
And then we live like we want the rest of the week.
00:11:59.769 --> 00:12:01.370
The rest of the week. instead of being the salt
00:12:01.437 --> 00:12:02.304
Instead of being the salt of the earth and the light
00:12:02.371 --> 00:12:03.272
Of the earth and the light of the world,
00:12:03.339 --> 00:12:04.106
Of the world, we've allowed our critics
00:12:04.173 --> 00:12:05.341
We've allowed our critics to silence us.
00:12:05.407 --> 00:12:06.442
To silence us. we've let our scandals
00:12:06.509 --> 00:12:07.543
We've let our scandals embarrass us.
00:12:07.610 --> 00:12:08.544
Embarrass us. and we've let our unconfessed
00:12:08.611 --> 00:12:09.879
And we've let our unconfessed sins disqualify us from being
00:12:09.945 --> 00:12:11.914
The bible commands us to pray
00:12:11.981 --> 00:12:15.251
For the peace of jerusalem.
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.654
This is not a suggestion.
00:12:18.654 --> 00:12:20.089
It's a directive from heaven.
00:12:20.089 --> 00:12:22.091
And for those who obey.
00:12:22.091 --> 00:12:23.526
Blessings abound.
00:12:23.526 --> 00:12:24.927
When you bless israel,
00:12:24.927 --> 00:12:26.228
God promises to bless you
00:12:26.228 --> 00:12:28.297
In a world
00:12:28.297 --> 00:12:28.931
Filled with rising
00:12:28.931 --> 00:12:29.965
Anti-semitism and violence.
00:12:29.965 --> 00:12:31.901
Now is the time for believers
00:12:31.901 --> 00:12:33.469
To stand boldly
00:12:33.469 --> 00:12:34.537
With god's people.
00:12:34.537 --> 00:12:36.038
Your voice, your prayers,
00:12:36.038 --> 00:12:37.940
Your actions matter
00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:39.708
With your gift
00:12:39.708 --> 00:12:40.543

00:12:40.543 --> 00:12:41.610
We will send you

00:12:43.546 --> 00:12:44.113
Anointing oil
00:12:44.113 --> 00:12:45.047
Keychain made in israel,
00:12:45.047 --> 00:12:47.616
A daily reminder
00:12:47.616 --> 00:12:48.784
To pray for jerusalem.
00:12:48.784 --> 00:12:50.753
And when you share
00:12:50.753 --> 00:12:51.554
A generous gift of
00:12:51.554 --> 00:12:52.521
$250 or more.
00:12:52.521 --> 00:12:54.423
You'll also receive
00:12:54.423 --> 00:12:55.457
An authentic western
00:12:55.457 --> 00:12:56.792
Wall star of david
00:12:56.792 --> 00:12:58.327
With a certificate
00:12:58.327 --> 00:12:59.395
Of authenticity.
00:12:59.395 --> 00:13:00.462
Plus, pastor
00:13:00.462 --> 00:13:01.597
Hagee's newest book,
00:13:01.597 --> 00:13:02.898
The middle east
00:13:02.898 --> 00:13:03.766
Conflict
00:13:03.766 --> 00:13:04.500
The origin of jew hatred.
00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:06.669
Call the number on screen or go
00:13:06.669 --> 00:13:08.704
To jhm.org/israelstrong.
00:13:08.704 --> 00:13:12.575
Call the number on screen or go
00:13:12.575 --> 00:13:16.612
When the bible says,
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:17.346
When the bible says, "let the redeemed of the lord
00:13:17.413 --> 00:13:19.148
"let the redeemed of the lord say so."
00:13:19.215 --> 00:13:21.083
Say so." that verse comes from
00:13:21.150 --> 00:13:22.151
That verse comes from psalm 107:2.
00:13:22.218 --> 00:13:25.154
Psalm 107:2. and throughout the entire
00:13:25.221 --> 00:13:26.355
And throughout the entire psalm,
00:13:26.422 --> 00:13:28.190
Psalm, what is being done is
00:13:28.257 --> 00:13:29.758
What is being done is the psalmist is writing down
00:13:29.825 --> 00:13:31.594
The psalmist is writing down everything that god had done.
00:13:31.660 --> 00:13:35.297
Everything that god had done. as a matter of fact,
00:13:35.364 --> 00:13:36.165
As a matter of fact, the full verse reads,
00:13:36.232 --> 00:13:37.199
The full verse reads, "let the redeemed of the lord
00:13:37.266 --> 00:13:38.634
"let the redeemed of the lord say so,
00:13:38.701 --> 00:13:39.668
Say so, whom he has redeemed from
00:13:39.735 --> 00:13:42.371
Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy."
00:13:42.438 --> 00:13:44.707
The hand of the enemy." [amen.]
00:13:44.773 --> 00:13:45.374
[amen.] we often quote this verse,
00:13:45.441 --> 00:13:46.675
We often quote this verse, but we seldom put it
00:13:46.742 --> 00:13:47.509
But we seldom put it to practice,
00:13:47.576 --> 00:13:49.645
To practice, because we're not looking at
00:13:49.712 --> 00:13:50.679
Because we're not looking at it closely enough when we read
00:13:50.746 --> 00:13:52.448
It closely enough when we read the words,
00:13:52.514 --> 00:13:53.148
The words, "whom he has redeemed."
00:13:53.215 --> 00:13:56.619
"whom he has redeemed." say that with me.
00:13:56.685 --> 00:13:57.419
Say that with me. "whom he has redeemed."
00:13:57.486 --> 00:13:59.989
"whom he has redeemed." how many of you recognize
00:14:00.055 --> 00:14:01.190
How many of you recognize that's in the past tense?
00:14:01.257 --> 00:14:04.159
That's in the past tense? that means that it's already
00:14:04.226 --> 00:14:05.261
That means that it's already been done.
00:14:05.327 --> 00:14:06.595
Been done. [yes!]
00:14:06.662 --> 00:14:07.696
[yes!] oftentimes,
00:14:07.763 --> 00:14:08.530
Oftentimes, when we talk about god,
00:14:08.597 --> 00:14:10.132
When we talk about god, we are talking about what
00:14:10.199 --> 00:14:10.966
We are talking about what we want to see god do,
00:14:11.033 --> 00:14:13.469
We want to see god do, when god moves,
00:14:13.535 --> 00:14:14.670
When god moves, when god answers,
00:14:14.737 --> 00:14:15.971
When god answers, when god gives,
00:14:16.038 --> 00:14:17.339
When god gives, when god does this,
00:14:17.406 --> 00:14:18.607
When god does this, when god does that.
00:14:18.674 --> 00:14:20.075
When god does that. and what the bible is telling
00:14:20.142 --> 00:14:21.010
And what the bible is telling us is the thing that we're
00:14:21.076 --> 00:14:22.077
Us is the thing that we're supposed to do is not talk
00:14:22.144 --> 00:14:23.679
Supposed to do is not talk about what god's going to do,
00:14:23.746 --> 00:14:25.281
About what god's going to do, but we should say so about
00:14:25.347 --> 00:14:26.815
But we should say so about the things he's already done.
00:14:26.882 --> 00:14:28.951
The things he's already done. [amen.]
00:14:29.018 --> 00:14:30.019
[amen.] we're supposed to be telling
00:14:30.085 --> 00:14:31.086
We're supposed to be telling the world everything that he
00:14:31.153 --> 00:14:32.955
The world everything that he has already done in our lives.
00:14:33.022 --> 00:14:36.125
Has already done in our lives. [amen.]
00:14:36.191 --> 00:14:36.992
[amen.] he's already done it;
00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:38.560
He's already done it; it's just our job to let them
00:14:38.627 --> 00:14:39.962
It's just our job to let them know it.
00:14:40.029 --> 00:14:41.730
Know it. so i want you to stop saying,
00:14:41.797 --> 00:14:43.232
So i want you to stop saying, "when will god,"
00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:44.433
"when will god," and start recognizing that
00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.868
And start recognizing that he's already moving.
00:14:45.935 --> 00:14:47.503
He's already moving. [amen.]
00:14:47.569 --> 00:14:48.203
[amen.] the sun came up this morning.
00:14:48.270 --> 00:14:49.772
The sun came up this morning. i'm telling you god is moving.
00:14:49.838 --> 00:14:51.840
I'm telling you god is moving. [amen.]
00:14:51.907 --> 00:14:52.374
[amen.] for the bible says that
00:14:52.441 --> 00:14:52.975
For the bible says that his mercies are renewed
00:14:53.042 --> 00:14:54.143
His mercies are renewed like the morning."
00:14:54.209 --> 00:14:55.244
Like the morning." he's moving.
00:14:55.311 --> 00:14:56.545
He's moving. tonight when you go home,
00:14:56.612 --> 00:14:57.646
Tonight when you go home, you're going to look up
00:14:57.713 --> 00:14:58.480
You're going to look up and see stars and the moon.
00:14:58.547 --> 00:15:00.049
And see stars and the moon. why?
00:15:00.115 --> 00:15:00.549
Why? because god is moving,
00:15:00.616 --> 00:15:01.884
Because god is moving, because every star and
00:15:01.951 --> 00:15:03.519
Because every star and the glow of the moon says
00:15:03.585 --> 00:15:04.653
The glow of the moon says he is faithful from generation
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:06.689
He is faithful from generation to generation.
00:15:06.755 --> 00:15:07.690
To generation. he's moving.
00:15:07.756 --> 00:15:08.924
He's moving. consider what jesus said to
00:15:08.991 --> 00:15:10.125
Consider what jesus said to his disciples.
00:15:10.192 --> 00:15:10.993
His disciples. luke 12:8 and 9,
00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:13.162
Luke 12:8 and 9, write those down,
00:15:13.228 --> 00:15:14.063
Write those down, because you're going to go
00:15:14.129 --> 00:15:14.964
Because you're going to go home and check me on this.
00:15:15.030 --> 00:15:17.967
Home and check me on this. matthew 10:32,
00:15:18.033 --> 00:15:19.802
Matthew 10:32, write that one down,
00:15:19.868 --> 00:15:22.571
Write that one down, because the words of both of
00:15:22.638 --> 00:15:24.106
Because the words of both of those sections of scripture
00:15:24.173 --> 00:15:25.407
Those sections of scripture are very similar; yet,
00:15:25.474 --> 00:15:26.809
Are very similar; yet, they've got different targets.
00:15:26.875 --> 00:15:28.110
They've got different targets. here's what luke 12 says;
00:15:28.177 --> 00:15:29.678
Here's what luke 12 says; it says,
00:15:29.745 --> 00:15:30.212
It says, "whoever confesses me before
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.014
"whoever confesses me before men --"
00:15:32.081 --> 00:15:32.748
Men --" that means tell somebody
00:15:32.815 --> 00:15:33.949
That means tell somebody about jesus.
00:15:34.016 --> 00:15:35.551
About jesus. "-- him, the son of man,
00:15:35.617 --> 00:15:36.652
"-- him, the son of man, will confess before the angels
00:15:36.719 --> 00:15:38.120
Will confess before the angels of god.
00:15:38.187 --> 00:15:39.455
Of god. but whoever denies me before
00:15:39.521 --> 00:15:41.423
But whoever denies me before men will be denied
00:15:41.490 --> 00:15:44.226
Men will be denied before the angels of god."
00:15:44.293 --> 00:15:46.628
Before the angels of god." and then in matthew 10,
00:15:46.695 --> 00:15:48.664
And then in matthew 10, jesus is speaking to
00:15:48.731 --> 00:15:49.565
Jesus is speaking to his disciples,
00:15:49.631 --> 00:15:50.265
His disciples, and he said,
00:15:50.332 --> 00:15:50.833
And he said, "whoever confesses me
00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:51.867
"whoever confesses me before men,
00:15:51.934 --> 00:15:52.868
Before men, him i will confess before
00:15:52.935 --> 00:15:54.903
Him i will confess before my father in heaven.
00:15:54.970 --> 00:15:56.238
My father in heaven. and whoever denies me
00:15:56.305 --> 00:15:57.639
And whoever denies me before men,
00:15:57.706 --> 00:15:58.574
Before men, him i will deny before
00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:01.443
Him i will deny before my father in heaven."
00:16:01.510 --> 00:16:03.512
My father in heaven." notice they're two different
00:16:03.579 --> 00:16:04.580
Notice they're two different conversations.
00:16:04.646 --> 00:16:05.714
Conversations. there's one happening here on
00:16:05.781 --> 00:16:07.149
There's one happening here on earth that you choose to have.
00:16:07.216 --> 00:16:09.351
Earth that you choose to have. and there's another one
00:16:09.418 --> 00:16:10.152
And there's another one happening in heaven that you
00:16:10.219 --> 00:16:11.587
Happening in heaven that you decide what's going to be
00:16:11.653 --> 00:16:12.921
Decide what's going to be said.
00:16:12.988 --> 00:16:15.157
Said. if you're down here on earth
00:16:15.224 --> 00:16:16.625
If you're down here on earth confessing jesus,
00:16:16.692 --> 00:16:17.960
Confessing jesus, he's up in heaven talking
00:16:18.027 --> 00:16:19.161
He's up in heaven talking about you.
00:16:19.228 --> 00:16:20.963
About you. if you're down here on earth
00:16:21.030 --> 00:16:22.498
If you're down here on earth denying jesus,
00:16:22.564 --> 00:16:23.899
Denying jesus, he's just got the mute button
00:16:23.966 --> 00:16:25.134
He's just got the mute button pushed on your channel.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:26.702
Pushed on your channel. [yes.]
00:16:26.769 --> 00:16:29.271
[yes.] you say,
00:16:29.338 --> 00:16:29.838
You say, "well how can you say that?
00:16:29.905 --> 00:16:31.673
"well how can you say that? i don't like that."
00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:34.943
I don't like that." the bible didn't consult
00:16:35.010 --> 00:16:35.944
The bible didn't consult our feelings when it laid out
00:16:36.011 --> 00:16:37.079
Our feelings when it laid out the facts.
00:16:37.146 --> 00:16:38.280
The facts. [amen.]
00:16:38.347 --> 00:16:39.081
[amen.] (applause)
00:16:39.148 --> 00:16:39.948
(applause) [amen!]
00:16:40.015 --> 00:16:40.682
[amen!] here's what hebrews 4:14
00:16:40.749 --> 00:16:42.084
Here's what hebrews 4:14 and 16 says; it says,
00:16:42.151 --> 00:16:43.218
And 16 says; it says, "we have a great high priest
00:16:43.285 --> 00:16:45.054
"we have a great high priest who has passed through
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.221
Who has passed through the heavens,
00:16:46.288 --> 00:16:47.122
The heavens, jesus the son of god."
00:16:47.189 --> 00:16:48.824
Jesus the son of god." now we don't have any question
00:16:48.891 --> 00:16:50.225
Now we don't have any question about who we're talking about.
00:16:50.292 --> 00:16:52.227
About who we're talking about. it says,
00:16:52.294 --> 00:16:52.628
It says, "jesus the son of god.
00:16:52.694 --> 00:16:54.129
"jesus the son of god. so let us hold fast to
00:16:54.196 --> 00:16:56.231
So let us hold fast to our confession."
00:16:56.298 --> 00:16:58.634
Our confession." who's got the confession?
00:16:58.700 --> 00:17:00.135
Who's got the confession? we do.
00:17:00.202 --> 00:17:01.403
We do. we hold fast to it.
00:17:01.470 --> 00:17:02.738
We hold fast to it. it means we don't give up on
00:17:02.805 --> 00:17:04.039
It means we don't give up on our confession
00:17:04.106 --> 00:17:05.107
Our confession that jesus christ is
00:17:05.174 --> 00:17:06.442
That jesus christ is the son of god.
00:17:06.508 --> 00:17:07.309
The son of god. and when we hold fast to
00:17:07.376 --> 00:17:08.610
And when we hold fast to our confession,
00:17:08.677 --> 00:17:09.344
Our confession, hebrews says,
00:17:09.411 --> 00:17:10.145
Hebrews says, "we can go boldly before
00:17:10.212 --> 00:17:11.713
"we can go boldly before the throne of grace;
00:17:11.780 --> 00:17:12.915
The throne of grace; that we may find mercy
00:17:12.981 --> 00:17:14.516
That we may find mercy and grace in our time of need."
00:17:14.583 --> 00:17:17.553
And grace in our time of need." [yes!]
00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:17.786
[yes!] we have a great high priest.
00:17:17.853 --> 00:17:19.254
We have a great high priest. that's jesus.
00:17:19.321 --> 00:17:20.189
That's jesus. he's now serving in heaven.
00:17:20.255 --> 00:17:22.958
He's now serving in heaven. when you read
00:17:23.025 --> 00:17:23.625
When you read the old testament description
00:17:23.692 --> 00:17:25.294
The old testament description of who the high priest was
00:17:25.360 --> 00:17:26.662
Of who the high priest was and what he did,
00:17:26.728 --> 00:17:27.596
And what he did, he is the only one with
00:17:27.663 --> 00:17:29.198
He is the only one with authorization to go before god
00:17:29.264 --> 00:17:31.500
Authorization to go before god on behalf of his people.
00:17:31.567 --> 00:17:33.836
On behalf of his people. on the day of atonement
00:17:33.902 --> 00:17:34.803
On the day of atonement when sin was forgiven,
00:17:34.870 --> 00:17:36.004
When sin was forgiven, it was the high priest that
00:17:36.071 --> 00:17:37.372
It was the high priest that presented the sacrifice.
00:17:37.439 --> 00:17:38.674
Presented the sacrifice. during the feasts when
00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.875
During the feasts when the offerings were brought,
00:17:39.942 --> 00:17:41.043
The offerings were brought, it was the high priest
00:17:41.110 --> 00:17:42.144
It was the high priest who took the offering into
00:17:42.211 --> 00:17:43.579
Who took the offering into the holy of holies,
00:17:43.645 --> 00:17:44.546
The holy of holies, and god, only would talk with,
00:17:44.613 --> 00:17:46.648
And god, only would talk with, meet with,
00:17:46.715 --> 00:17:47.316
Meet with, and be with the high priest.
00:17:47.382 --> 00:17:49.918
And be with the high priest. if you didn't have
00:17:49.985 --> 00:17:50.586
If you didn't have a high priest,
00:17:50.652 --> 00:17:51.553
A high priest, you couldn't be forgiven.
00:17:51.620 --> 00:17:52.888
You couldn't be forgiven. if you didn't have
00:17:52.955 --> 00:17:53.622
If you didn't have a high priest,
00:17:53.689 --> 00:17:54.389
A high priest, your offerings would be
00:17:54.456 --> 00:17:55.390
Your offerings would be rejected.
00:17:55.457 --> 00:17:56.225
Rejected. so the new testament says we
00:17:56.291 --> 00:17:57.593
So the new testament says we no longer need a man to be
00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:59.428
No longer need a man to be the high priest,
00:17:59.495 --> 00:18:00.195
The high priest, because we've got the son
00:18:00.262 --> 00:18:01.230
Because we've got the son of god as our high priest.
00:18:01.296 --> 00:18:04.433
Of god as our high priest. (applause)
00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:09.138
(applause) now there's a whole lot of
00:18:09.204 --> 00:18:09.972
Now there's a whole lot of doctrine and theology
00:18:10.038 --> 00:18:11.206
Doctrine and theology caught up in this one section
00:18:11.273 --> 00:18:12.508
Caught up in this one section of scripture.
00:18:12.574 --> 00:18:13.242
Of scripture. but here's the main point of
00:18:13.308 --> 00:18:14.576
But here's the main point of what i want you to understand;
00:18:14.643 --> 00:18:16.178
What i want you to understand; if jesus christ is
00:18:16.245 --> 00:18:17.946
If jesus christ is the high priest,
00:18:18.013 --> 00:18:19.214
The high priest, there cannot be a substitute.
00:18:19.281 --> 00:18:21.416
There cannot be a substitute. there is no other option.
00:18:21.483 --> 00:18:23.318
There is no other option. there are no alternatives.
00:18:23.385 --> 00:18:25.053
There are no alternatives. no saint can go to god
00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:26.622
No saint can go to god for you.
00:18:26.688 --> 00:18:27.356
For you. no human being can go to god
00:18:27.422 --> 00:18:29.258
No human being can go to god for you.
00:18:29.324 --> 00:18:29.958
For you. no angel can go to god
00:18:30.025 --> 00:18:31.426
No angel can go to god for you.
00:18:31.493 --> 00:18:32.294
For you. the only person that can get
00:18:32.361 --> 00:18:33.662
The only person that can get you to the throne of god
00:18:33.729 --> 00:18:34.897
You to the throne of god is jesus christ,
00:18:34.963 --> 00:18:36.198
Is jesus christ, because there is only one name
00:18:36.265 --> 00:18:37.733
Because there is only one name given among men whereby,
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.401
Given among men whereby, we might be saved,
00:18:39.468 --> 00:18:40.636
We might be saved, and that's jesus!
00:18:40.702 --> 00:18:43.272
And that's jesus! (applause)
00:18:43.338 --> 00:18:46.008
(applause) in romans 8,
00:18:46.074 --> 00:18:47.843
In romans 8, paul is talking about
00:18:47.910 --> 00:18:49.278
Paul is talking about the relationship that we,
00:18:49.344 --> 00:18:50.913
The relationship that we, as believers here on earth,
00:18:50.979 --> 00:18:52.548
As believers here on earth, have with god in heaven.
00:18:52.614 --> 00:18:54.850
Have with god in heaven. and he talks about how
00:18:54.917 --> 00:18:55.717
And he talks about how the holy spirit groans for us
00:18:55.784 --> 00:18:58.187
The holy spirit groans for us with utterances that cannot be
00:18:58.253 --> 00:18:59.688
With utterances that cannot be known.
00:18:59.755 --> 00:19:00.455
Known. and in verse 27, he says,
00:19:00.522 --> 00:19:02.424
And in verse 27, he says, "now him who searches the
00:19:02.491 --> 00:19:03.959
"now him who searches the hearts and knows the mind of
00:19:04.026 --> 00:19:05.561
Hearts and knows the mind of the spirit --"
00:19:05.627 --> 00:19:06.195
The spirit --" that's jesus.
00:19:06.261 --> 00:19:08.096
That's jesus. "-- makes intercession
00:19:08.163 --> 00:19:09.631
"-- makes intercession for the saints,
00:19:09.698 --> 00:19:10.966
For the saints, according to the will of god."
00:19:11.033 --> 00:19:13.068
According to the will of god." here,
00:19:13.135 --> 00:19:13.735
Here, you have another bible
00:19:13.802 --> 00:19:14.469
You have another bible confirmation that jesus is up
00:19:14.536 --> 00:19:16.405
Confirmation that jesus is up in heaven talking to god about
00:19:16.471 --> 00:19:19.041
In heaven talking to god about you here on earth.
00:19:19.107 --> 00:19:21.276
You here on earth. but when you look at
00:19:21.343 --> 00:19:21.944
But when you look at matthew 10 --
00:19:22.010 --> 00:19:24.012
Matthew 10 -- go reread that verse.
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.348
Go reread that verse. -- he's not talking about
00:19:26.415 --> 00:19:27.349
-- he's not talking about everybody.
00:19:27.416 --> 00:19:29.418
Everybody. he's only talking about those
00:19:29.484 --> 00:19:30.719
He's only talking about those who confess him.
00:19:30.786 --> 00:19:34.456
Who confess him. he said,
00:19:34.523 --> 00:19:35.057
He said, "if you confess me before men,
00:19:35.123 --> 00:19:37.826
"if you confess me before men, i'll confess you.
00:19:37.893 --> 00:19:40.362
I'll confess you. if you deny me,
00:19:40.429 --> 00:19:43.131
If you deny me, i'll deny you."
00:19:43.198 --> 00:19:44.766
I'll deny you." [amen.]
00:19:44.833 --> 00:19:45.968
[amen.] he says,
00:19:46.034 --> 00:19:46.368
He says, when your friends come up
00:19:46.435 --> 00:19:47.135
When your friends come up to you and say,
00:19:47.202 --> 00:19:47.803
To you and say, "hey, are you one of
00:19:47.869 --> 00:19:49.071
"hey, are you one of those christians?"
00:19:49.137 --> 00:19:50.839
Those christians?" [yes!]
00:19:50.906 --> 00:19:51.540
[yes!] and you say, "it ain't so.
00:19:51.607 --> 00:19:55.010
And you say, "it ain't so. well i don't want to make them
00:19:55.077 --> 00:19:56.378
Well i don't want to make them uncomfortable with my faith,"
00:19:56.445 --> 00:19:59.881
Uncomfortable with my faith," you have no idea what you've
00:19:59.948 --> 00:20:01.016
You have no idea what you've just done to yourself
00:20:01.083 --> 00:20:01.950
Just done to yourself in heaven.
00:20:02.017 --> 00:20:03.819
In heaven. because all those requests
00:20:03.885 --> 00:20:05.087
Because all those requests that you laid out this morning,
00:20:05.153 --> 00:20:07.356
That you laid out this morning, god goes (click), mute.
00:20:07.422 --> 00:20:10.959
God goes (click), mute. he's denying me down there;
00:20:11.026 --> 00:20:12.594
He's denying me down there; i'm not going to say anything
00:20:12.661 --> 00:20:13.328
I'm not going to say anything about him up here.
00:20:13.395 --> 00:20:15.097
About him up here. [yes.]
00:20:15.163 --> 00:20:18.166
[yes.] and then in luke 12, he says,
00:20:18.233 --> 00:20:20.068
And then in luke 12, he says, "if you deny me before men,
00:20:20.135 --> 00:20:21.236
"if you deny me before men, i'll deny you before
00:20:21.303 --> 00:20:22.104
I'll deny you before the angels."
00:20:22.170 --> 00:20:23.939
The angels." now what role do the angels
00:20:24.006 --> 00:20:25.040
Now what role do the angels play?
00:20:25.107 --> 00:20:25.741
Play? go look at hebrews 1:14.
00:20:25.807 --> 00:20:28.010
Go look at hebrews 1:14. angels are ministering
00:20:28.076 --> 00:20:29.344
Angels are ministering spirits.
00:20:29.411 --> 00:20:30.979
Spirits. angel's jobs are to be sent
00:20:31.046 --> 00:20:33.282
Angel's jobs are to be sent in assignment over us.
00:20:33.348 --> 00:20:36.752
In assignment over us. what jesus is telling his
00:20:36.818 --> 00:20:37.653
What jesus is telling his disciples is if you don't have
00:20:37.719 --> 00:20:39.187
Disciples is if you don't have the courage to tell people
00:20:39.254 --> 00:20:40.589
The courage to tell people about me,
00:20:40.656 --> 00:20:41.323
About me, and who i am,
00:20:41.390 --> 00:20:42.057
And who i am, and what i've done,
00:20:42.124 --> 00:20:44.092
And what i've done, when i get into heavenly
00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:45.027
When i get into heavenly places,
00:20:45.093 --> 00:20:45.661
Places, and it's my responsibility to
00:20:45.727 --> 00:20:46.928
And it's my responsibility to talk about you,
00:20:46.995 --> 00:20:48.196
Talk about you, and assign the angels to you,
00:20:48.263 --> 00:20:49.898
And assign the angels to you, and go to god for you,
00:20:49.965 --> 00:20:51.300
And go to god for you, i'm not going to say anything.
00:20:51.366 --> 00:20:54.703
I'm not going to say anything. you're lock jawed with me
00:20:54.770 --> 00:20:56.171
You're lock jawed with me down here;
00:20:56.238 --> 00:20:56.805
Down here; it's going to be quiet about
00:20:56.872 --> 00:20:57.773
It's going to be quiet about you up there.
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:01.209
You up there. according to matthew 10:32,
00:21:01.276 --> 00:21:03.045
According to matthew 10:32, when we do not confess him,
00:21:03.111 --> 00:21:05.213
When we do not confess him, jesus is listening.
00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:06.748
Jesus is listening. and what we say here controls
00:21:06.815 --> 00:21:08.684
And what we say here controls what he does up there.
00:21:08.750 --> 00:21:11.586
What he does up there. the point is this;
00:21:11.653 --> 00:21:12.688
The point is this; confessing christ on the earth
00:21:12.754 --> 00:21:14.690
Confessing christ on the earth might cost you for the moment,
00:21:14.756 --> 00:21:16.858
Might cost you for the moment, but denying him may cost you
00:21:16.925 --> 00:21:19.261
But denying him may cost you for eternity.
00:21:19.328 --> 00:21:20.362

Let's quit talking about what's going on in this world
00:21:28.603 --> 00:21:30.505

00:21:30.572 --> 00:21:31.807
And start telling the world who christ is
00:21:31.873 --> 00:21:33.175
Who christ is and what he's done.
00:21:33.241 --> 00:21:34.710
And what he's done. [amen.]

Person in this church, if every person
00:21:41.383 --> 00:21:42.351
If every person in every church,
00:21:42.417 --> 00:21:43.285
In every church, if every individual
00:21:43.352 --> 00:21:44.419
If every individual who believed in jesus christ,
00:21:44.486 --> 00:21:46.388
Who believed in jesus christ, stopped talking about what was

Stopped talking about what was going wrong in the world and
00:21:47.989 --> 00:21:49.658
Going wrong in the world and took the same amount of effort
00:21:49.725 --> 00:21:51.159
Took the same amount of effort and the same amount of energy
00:21:51.226 --> 00:21:52.794
And the same amount of energy and started telling people
00:21:52.861 --> 00:21:54.029

A savior who forgave me when i didn't deserve it;
