Music
00:00:00.094 --> 00:00:13.874
Pastor matt hagee: in
00:00:17.111 --> 00:00:17.611
Pastor matt hagee: in hebrews 11,
00:00:17.678 --> 00:00:20.281
Hebrews 11, we have what has been called
00:00:20.347 --> 00:00:21.282
We have what has been called the hall of fame of faith
00:00:21.348 --> 00:00:23.717
The hall of fame of faith and the singular thread
00:00:23.784 --> 00:00:24.785
And the singular thread that carries through each
00:00:24.852 --> 00:00:25.820
That carries through each and every life that is listed
00:00:25.886 --> 00:00:27.354
And every life that is listed there is that what they did,
00:00:27.421 --> 00:00:29.457
There is that what they did, they did in one way, by faith.
00:00:29.523 --> 00:00:34.195
They did in one way, by faith. everything that you will
00:00:34.261 --> 00:00:34.862
Everything that you will ever do for god and that god
00:00:34.929 --> 00:00:36.363
Ever do for god and that god will ever do with you
00:00:36.430 --> 00:00:38.332
Will ever do with you will be done by faith.
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.435
Will be done by faith. it doesn't matter who has
00:00:41.502 --> 00:00:42.570
It doesn't matter who has something to say against you.
00:00:42.636 --> 00:00:44.972
Something to say against you. if you have faith in god
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.440
If you have faith in god and if he is for you,
00:00:46.507 --> 00:00:47.908
And if he is for you, who can be against you?
00:00:47.975 --> 00:00:50.644
Who can be against you? when we get to hebrews 11:32,
00:00:50.711 --> 00:00:54.515
When we get to hebrews 11:32, the author of hebrews
00:00:54.582 --> 00:00:55.483
The author of hebrews is writing to a predominantly
00:00:55.549 --> 00:00:58.119
Is writing to a predominantly jewish audience.
00:00:58.185 --> 00:00:58.919
Jewish audience. they understand jewish history.
00:00:58.986 --> 00:01:01.088
They understand jewish history. they've been taught
00:01:01.155 --> 00:01:02.323
They've been taught the stories of the past.
00:01:02.389 --> 00:01:04.525
The stories of the past. and so, rather than get
00:01:04.592 --> 00:01:05.326
And so, rather than get into the details of each
00:01:05.392 --> 00:01:06.527
Into the details of each and every individual
00:01:06.594 --> 00:01:07.595
And every individual and what they accomplished,
00:01:07.661 --> 00:01:08.896
And what they accomplished, he just puts them all
00:01:08.963 --> 00:01:10.264
He just puts them all into a group and says,
00:01:10.331 --> 00:01:11.198
Into a group and says, "what more should i say
00:01:11.265 --> 00:01:13.067
"what more should i say because time would fail me.
00:01:13.134 --> 00:01:14.435
Because time would fail me. if i told every story,
00:01:14.502 --> 00:01:15.870
If i told every story, this chapter would never end,"
00:01:15.936 --> 00:01:17.271
This chapter would never end," is what he's saying.
00:01:17.338 --> 00:01:19.073
Is what he's saying. and he writes about
00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:19.940
And he writes about individuals like gideon,
00:01:20.007 --> 00:01:22.376
Individuals like gideon, and barak, and samson,
00:01:22.443 --> 00:01:24.478
And barak, and samson, and jephthah, and david,
00:01:24.545 --> 00:01:26.847
And jephthah, and david, and samuel, and the prophets.
00:01:26.914 --> 00:01:29.250
And samuel, and the prophets. he literally goes from
00:01:29.316 --> 00:01:30.484
He literally goes from the book of judges
00:01:30.551 --> 00:01:31.452
The book of judges all the way through
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.053
All the way through the end of the old testament
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.722
The end of the old testament talking about how these
00:01:34.788 --> 00:01:36.090
Talking about how these individuals were able to do
00:01:36.157 --> 00:01:37.758
Individuals were able to do great things by faith.
00:01:37.825 --> 00:01:41.662
Great things by faith. but when you take
00:01:41.729 --> 00:01:42.196
But when you take a closer look at the names
00:01:42.263 --> 00:01:43.430
A closer look at the names that he's listed here,
00:01:43.497 --> 00:01:44.331
That he's listed here, what you discover is that
00:01:44.398 --> 00:01:45.900
What you discover is that they weren't always warriors
00:01:45.966 --> 00:01:47.468
They weren't always warriors and winners who lived by faith.
00:01:47.535 --> 00:01:49.570
And winners who lived by faith. when we meet them,
00:01:49.637 --> 00:01:50.804
When we meet them, some of them were wimps
00:01:50.871 --> 00:01:52.473
Some of them were wimps and some of them were whiners.
00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:56.844
And some of them were whiners. and the good news is,
00:01:56.911 --> 00:01:58.812
And the good news is, god gave them the strength
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.681
God gave them the strength to overcome because of what
00:02:00.748 --> 00:02:02.850
To overcome because of what they did with their faith.
00:02:02.917 --> 00:02:05.386
They did with their faith. rather than look
00:02:05.452 --> 00:02:05.986
Rather than look at the circumstances,
00:02:06.053 --> 00:02:07.054
At the circumstances, they put their faith in a god
00:02:07.121 --> 00:02:08.789
They put their faith in a god who gave them the ability
00:02:08.856 --> 00:02:10.524
Who gave them the ability to overcome circumstance.
00:02:10.591 --> 00:02:12.693
To overcome circumstance. what you need to know as
00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:13.627
What you need to know as a child of god in the world
00:02:13.694 --> 00:02:15.262
A child of god in the world that we live in,
00:02:15.329 --> 00:02:16.163
That we live in, is that you are not here to
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:17.164
Is that you are not here to live beneath the circumstance,
00:02:17.231 --> 00:02:19.466
Live beneath the circumstance, you are here to live above
00:02:19.533 --> 00:02:20.734
You are here to live above the circumstance by the power
00:02:20.801 --> 00:02:22.336
The circumstance by the power of the living god
00:02:22.403 --> 00:02:23.170
Of the living god that is in you.
00:02:23.237 --> 00:02:26.207
That is in you. every warrior and every winner
00:02:26.273 --> 00:02:29.043
Every warrior and every winner comes to the place of their
00:02:29.109 --> 00:02:30.778
Comes to the place of their victory through god.
00:02:30.844 --> 00:02:33.280
Victory through god. the bible says,
00:02:33.347 --> 00:02:33.914
The bible says, "our faith is the victory
00:02:33.981 --> 00:02:36.250
"our faith is the victory that overcomes the world."
00:02:36.317 --> 00:02:39.887
That overcomes the world." whenever the author of hebrews
00:02:39.954 --> 00:02:40.955
Whenever the author of hebrews is talking about gideon,
00:02:41.021 --> 00:02:42.423
Is talking about gideon, and barak, and samson,
00:02:42.489 --> 00:02:44.825
And barak, and samson, he's talking about a time
00:02:44.892 --> 00:02:45.893
He's talking about a time in which the entire
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:47.194
In which the entire nation of israel was living
00:02:47.261 --> 00:02:48.862
Nation of israel was living in a vicious cycle.
00:02:48.929 --> 00:02:50.397
In a vicious cycle. say it this way,
00:02:50.464 --> 00:02:51.498
Say it this way, they were continually
00:02:51.565 --> 00:02:52.766
They were continually walking around digging a rut.
00:02:52.833 --> 00:02:56.337
Walking around digging a rut. when we meet gideon,
00:02:56.403 --> 00:02:57.304
When we meet gideon, for example,
00:02:57.371 --> 00:02:59.306
For example, gideon is not a warrior
00:02:59.373 --> 00:03:00.507
Gideon is not a warrior and gideon is not a winner,
00:03:00.574 --> 00:03:02.109
And gideon is not a winner, gideon is a whiner.
00:03:02.176 --> 00:03:05.112
Gideon is a whiner. he's an absolute whiner.
00:03:05.179 --> 00:03:06.947
He's an absolute whiner. the angel of the lord comes
00:03:07.014 --> 00:03:08.115
The angel of the lord comes to him and he's threshing wheat
00:03:08.182 --> 00:03:11.018
To him and he's threshing wheat in a winepress.
00:03:11.085 --> 00:03:12.853
In a winepress. you do not need a phd
00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:14.021
You do not need a phd in agriculture to know
00:03:14.088 --> 00:03:15.089
In agriculture to know he's doing the wrong thing
00:03:15.155 --> 00:03:16.390
He's doing the wrong thing with the wrong equipment.
00:03:16.457 --> 00:03:18.726
With the wrong equipment. but the reason he's threshing
00:03:18.792 --> 00:03:19.827
But the reason he's threshing wheat in a winepress is because
00:03:19.893 --> 00:03:21.762
Wheat in a winepress is because he doesn't want his enemies
00:03:21.829 --> 00:03:22.896
He doesn't want his enemies to see that he has food
00:03:22.963 --> 00:03:24.965
To see that he has food because they're gonna come
00:03:25.032 --> 00:03:25.866
Because they're gonna come and steal the food.
00:03:25.933 --> 00:03:27.434
And steal the food. and when the angel of the lord
00:03:27.501 --> 00:03:28.402
And when the angel of the lord comes to see him
00:03:28.469 --> 00:03:29.203
Comes to see him in the book of judges,
00:03:29.270 --> 00:03:30.437
In the book of judges, the first thing that
00:03:30.504 --> 00:03:31.071
The first thing that the angel of the lord says
00:03:31.138 --> 00:03:32.172
The angel of the lord says to him is rather humorous
00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:33.540
To him is rather humorous because what he says is,
00:03:33.607 --> 00:03:35.175
Because what he says is, "behold mighty man of valor."
00:03:35.242 --> 00:03:39.680
"behold mighty man of valor." the angel doesn't show up
00:03:39.747 --> 00:03:40.614
The angel doesn't show up and say, "hey, wimp.
00:03:40.681 --> 00:03:41.248
And say, "hey, wimp. what are you doing
00:03:41.315 --> 00:03:41.982
What are you doing in the winepress?"
00:03:42.049 --> 00:03:42.850
[laughter]
00:03:43.284 --> 00:03:44.218
And rather than consider
00:03:46.086 --> 00:03:47.721
And rather than consider the encounter that he's having
00:03:47.788 --> 00:03:48.889
The encounter that he's having with a celestial being sent
00:03:48.956 --> 00:03:50.391
With a celestial being sent from heaven with a message,
00:03:50.457 --> 00:03:51.859
From heaven with a message, do you know what gideon does
00:03:51.925 --> 00:03:53.327
Do you know what gideon does whenever the presence of god
00:03:53.394 --> 00:03:54.862
Whenever the presence of god is standing in front of him?
00:03:54.928 --> 00:03:57.131
Is standing in front of him? he starts whining.
00:03:57.197 --> 00:04:00.000
He starts whining. the angel says,
00:04:00.067 --> 00:04:00.801
The angel says, "behold, the lord is with you."
00:04:00.868 --> 00:04:04.338
"behold, the lord is with you." and rather than
00:04:04.405 --> 00:04:05.105
And rather than shout hallelujah, he says,
00:04:05.172 --> 00:04:07.441
Shout hallelujah, he says, "well, if god is with me,
00:04:07.508 --> 00:04:09.076
"well, if god is with me, why am i in this circumstance?"
00:04:09.143 --> 00:04:15.449
Why am i in this circumstance?" and before we pick up the rocks
00:04:15.516 --> 00:04:17.418
And before we pick up the rocks and start throwing them
00:04:17.484 --> 00:04:18.385
And start throwing them at gideon for being a whiner,
00:04:18.452 --> 00:04:19.887
At gideon for being a whiner, how many of god's kids
00:04:19.953 --> 00:04:21.155
How many of god's kids come to god's house
00:04:21.221 --> 00:04:22.289
Come to god's house on the lord's day,
00:04:22.356 --> 00:04:23.157
On the lord's day, and the presence of the lord
00:04:23.223 --> 00:04:24.525
And the presence of the lord fills the sanctuary,
00:04:24.591 --> 00:04:25.793
Fills the sanctuary, and the holy spirit
00:04:25.859 --> 00:04:27.094
And the holy spirit whispers into your soul.
00:04:27.161 --> 00:04:28.362
Whispers into your soul. it doesn't matter
00:04:28.429 --> 00:04:29.129
It doesn't matter what you're going through,
00:04:29.196 --> 00:04:30.164
What you're going through, god is with you.
00:04:30.230 --> 00:04:31.465
God is with you. god knows you.
00:04:31.532 --> 00:04:32.966
God knows you. god's here for you.
00:04:33.033 --> 00:04:34.068
[applause]
00:04:34.368 --> 00:04:39.373
And rather than shout
00:04:39.707 --> 00:04:40.307
And rather than shout hallelujah, we say,
00:04:40.374 --> 00:04:41.342
Hallelujah, we say, "well, if he's with me,
00:04:41.408 --> 00:04:42.643
"well, if he's with me, why am i still struggling?"
00:04:42.710 --> 00:04:46.647
Why am i still struggling?" i'll tell you why,
00:04:46.714 --> 00:04:47.381
I'll tell you why, because struggle is
00:04:47.448 --> 00:04:48.649
Because struggle is a part of life.
00:04:48.716 --> 00:04:51.018
A part of life. adversity is something
00:04:51.085 --> 00:04:52.519
Adversity is something that is common to everybody
00:04:52.586 --> 00:04:54.088
That is common to everybody who draws a breath.
00:04:54.154 --> 00:04:55.189
Who draws a breath. job said, "as sure as sparks
00:04:55.255 --> 00:04:56.857
Job said, "as sure as sparks fly up from a fire,
00:04:56.924 --> 00:04:58.492
Fly up from a fire, so is a man born to trouble."
00:04:58.559 --> 00:05:00.427
So is a man born to trouble." stop looking at adversity
00:05:00.494 --> 00:05:02.096
Stop looking at adversity as something that is against you
00:05:02.162 --> 00:05:04.064
As something that is against you and start looking as
00:05:04.131 --> 00:05:05.232
And start looking as an opportunity that god has
00:05:05.299 --> 00:05:06.667
An opportunity that god has given you to give you
00:05:06.734 --> 00:05:07.868
Given you to give you the strength that you need
00:05:07.935 --> 00:05:08.869
The strength that you need to be more than the conqueror
00:05:08.936 --> 00:05:10.304
To be more than the conqueror he created you to be.
00:05:10.371 --> 00:05:11.205
[applause]
00:05:11.538 --> 00:05:16.977
Only after several
00:05:17.511 --> 00:05:18.345
Only after several conversations does gideon
00:05:18.412 --> 00:05:19.713
Conversations does gideon start to believe that
00:05:19.780 --> 00:05:20.647
Start to believe that there's something greater in him
00:05:20.714 --> 00:05:22.883
There's something greater in him than what he's currently
00:05:22.950 --> 00:05:23.851
Than what he's currently living through.
00:05:23.917 --> 00:05:24.618
Living through. and when he puts his faith
00:05:24.685 --> 00:05:25.853
And when he puts his faith in a god who cannot fail,
00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:27.521
In a god who cannot fail, gideon goes from a whiner into
00:05:27.588 --> 00:05:29.456
Gideon goes from a whiner into a warrior who faces adversity.
00:05:29.523 --> 00:05:31.492
A warrior who faces adversity. and today, he's listed
00:05:31.558 --> 00:05:32.693
And today, he's listed on the hall of fame
00:05:32.760 --> 00:05:34.261
On the hall of fame because he went from
00:05:34.328 --> 00:05:35.095
Because he went from a warrior to a winner.
00:05:35.162 --> 00:05:37.798
A warrior to a winner. whenever you give god
00:05:37.865 --> 00:05:38.799
Whenever you give god the opportunity to prove
00:05:38.866 --> 00:05:40.033
The opportunity to prove himself to you,
00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:41.034
Himself to you, you need to know,
00:05:41.101 --> 00:05:42.002
You need to know, god will not fail you.
00:05:42.069 --> 00:05:45.906
God will not fail you. all he's looking for are those
00:05:45.973 --> 00:05:47.808
All he's looking for are those who are courageous enough to be
00:05:47.875 --> 00:05:49.610
Who are courageous enough to be the mindset of a warrior.
00:05:49.676 --> 00:05:51.445
The mindset of a warrior. to say, "if there's adversity,
00:05:51.512 --> 00:05:52.880
To say, "if there's adversity, i'll face it.
00:05:52.946 --> 00:05:53.814
I'll face it. if there's a problem,
00:05:53.881 --> 00:05:54.715
If there's a problem, here am i.
00:05:54.782 --> 00:05:55.549
Here am i. send me."
00:05:55.616 --> 00:05:56.517
Send me." because if god is with you,
00:05:56.583 --> 00:05:58.285
Because if god is with you, nothing can stand against you
00:05:58.352 --> 00:06:00.254
Nothing can stand against you and you cannot be defeated.
00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:02.055
[applause]
00:06:02.389 --> 00:06:07.594
So, how did this
00:06:08.095 --> 00:06:08.629
So, how did this generation of israel
00:06:08.695 --> 00:06:09.797
Generation of israel get into this rut?
00:06:09.863 --> 00:06:12.599
Get into this rut? in judges 2:10, we gain some
00:06:12.666 --> 00:06:15.903
In judges 2:10, we gain some insight because in judges 2:10,
00:06:15.969 --> 00:06:18.272
Insight because in judges 2:10, it tells us that now that
00:06:18.338 --> 00:06:19.540
It tells us that now that this generation had been
00:06:19.606 --> 00:06:21.008
This generation had been gathered to their fathers,
00:06:21.074 --> 00:06:22.776
Gathered to their fathers, what generation
00:06:22.843 --> 00:06:23.410
What generation is he speaking of?
00:06:23.477 --> 00:06:24.311
Is he speaking of? he's talking about
00:06:24.378 --> 00:06:24.945
He's talking about the generation
00:06:25.012 --> 00:06:25.712
The generation of joshua and caleb.
00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:26.880
Of joshua and caleb. those who walked out of egypt
00:06:26.947 --> 00:06:28.982
Those who walked out of egypt and through the wilderness.
00:06:29.049 --> 00:06:30.217
And through the wilderness. those who wondered in
00:06:30.284 --> 00:06:31.618
Those who wondered in the wilderness and then came
00:06:31.685 --> 00:06:32.986
The wilderness and then came to the jordan and saw
00:06:33.053 --> 00:06:34.221
To the jordan and saw the walls of jericho fall.
00:06:34.288 --> 00:06:35.656
The walls of jericho fall. when that generation
00:06:35.722 --> 00:06:36.824
When that generation had passed away,
00:06:36.890 --> 00:06:38.826
Had passed away, the bible says there was
00:06:38.892 --> 00:06:39.693
The bible says there was another generation that came
00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:41.795
Another generation that came after them that did not know
00:06:41.862 --> 00:06:43.564
After them that did not know the lord nor the work which
00:06:43.630 --> 00:06:45.766
The lord nor the work which he had done for israel.
00:06:45.833 --> 00:06:48.135
He had done for israel. the problem was,
00:06:48.202 --> 00:06:49.403
The problem was, the next generation that came
00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:50.871
The next generation that came after joshua and caleb,
00:06:50.938 --> 00:06:52.739
After joshua and caleb, they stopped living
00:06:52.806 --> 00:06:53.841
They stopped living as if god existed.
00:06:53.907 --> 00:06:56.477
As if god existed. how much of this same behavior
00:06:56.543 --> 00:06:57.778
How much of this same behavior do you see in the world
00:06:57.845 --> 00:06:58.745
Do you see in the world we live in today?
00:06:58.812 --> 00:07:00.481
We live in today? we live in a land
00:07:00.547 --> 00:07:01.448
We live in a land that is blessed by god.
00:07:01.515 --> 00:07:03.383
That is blessed by god. there's evidence of it
00:07:03.450 --> 00:07:04.785
There's evidence of it in every chapter of our history,
00:07:04.852 --> 00:07:06.620
In every chapter of our history, in every breath that we breathe.
00:07:06.687 --> 00:07:08.522
In every breath that we breathe. and yet, rather than recognize
00:07:08.589 --> 00:07:10.057
And yet, rather than recognize where our blessings come from,
00:07:10.123 --> 00:07:11.692
Where our blessings come from, we choose to pretend
00:07:11.758 --> 00:07:12.993
We choose to pretend as if god doesn't exist.
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:16.296
As if god doesn't exist. we've forgotten that he is
00:07:16.363 --> 00:07:17.297
We've forgotten that he is the source of every good
00:07:17.364 --> 00:07:18.398
The source of every good and perfect gift.
00:07:18.465 --> 00:07:19.366
And perfect gift. everything great and small,
00:07:19.433 --> 00:07:21.835
Everything great and small, god gave you.
00:07:21.902 --> 00:07:24.171
God gave you. today, the food that
00:07:24.238 --> 00:07:25.372
Today, the food that you're going to eat at lunch,
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:26.406
You're going to eat at lunch, god created that all
00:07:26.473 --> 00:07:27.808
God created that all the way back in
00:07:27.875 --> 00:07:28.675
The way back in the genesis when he said,
00:07:28.742 --> 00:07:29.710
The genesis when he said, "every seed bearing plant
00:07:29.776 --> 00:07:31.445
"every seed bearing plant give forth its fruit."
00:07:31.512 --> 00:07:32.546
Give forth its fruit." god was thinking about you then
00:07:32.613 --> 00:07:34.748
God was thinking about you then and he was planning
00:07:34.815 --> 00:07:35.749
And he was planning your lunch now.
00:07:35.816 --> 00:07:38.485
Your lunch now. the strength that you have
00:07:38.552 --> 00:07:39.653
The strength that you have to be in this service today,
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.622
To be in this service today, god gave it to you because
00:07:41.688 --> 00:07:42.956
God gave it to you because the bible tells us
00:07:43.023 --> 00:07:43.957
The bible tells us in him we live, and move,
00:07:44.024 --> 00:07:45.225
In him we live, and move, and have our being.
00:07:45.292 --> 00:07:46.193
And have our being. the roof that's over your head,
00:07:46.260 --> 00:07:47.728
The roof that's over your head, the roof that you sleep
00:07:47.794 --> 00:07:48.962
The roof that you sleep under at night,
00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:49.796
Under at night, where did that roof come from?
00:07:49.863 --> 00:07:51.398
Where did that roof come from? it came from the trees.
00:07:51.465 --> 00:07:52.499
It came from the trees. who created the trees?
00:07:52.566 --> 00:07:53.534
Who created the trees? god.
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:54.268
God. how did that tree get to grow?
00:07:54.334 --> 00:07:55.769
How did that tree get to grow? god saw it, he watched it,
00:07:55.836 --> 00:07:57.471
God saw it, he watched it, it grew, he cut it down,
00:07:57.538 --> 00:07:58.805
It grew, he cut it down, he brought it to your house,
00:07:58.872 --> 00:08:00.040
He brought it to your house, and he allowed you
00:08:00.107 --> 00:08:00.674
And he allowed you to sleep under it.
00:08:00.741 --> 00:08:01.975
[applause]
00:08:02.376 --> 00:08:06.046
You cannot escape
00:08:06.413 --> 00:08:07.581
You cannot escape the goodness of god,
00:08:07.648 --> 00:08:08.882
The goodness of god, all you have to do
00:08:08.949 --> 00:08:10.050
All you have to do is look for it,
00:08:10.117 --> 00:08:11.585
Is look for it, and when you find it,
00:08:11.652 --> 00:08:12.486
And when you find it, give him the praise
00:08:12.553 --> 00:08:13.654
Give him the praise and the glory and the honor
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.088
And the glory and the honor that he is worthy of.
00:08:15.155 --> 00:08:16.557
[applause]
00:08:16.857 --> 00:08:21.094
During the time of the judges,
00:08:22.496 --> 00:08:23.931
During the time of the judges, there was political chaos.
00:08:23.997 --> 00:08:26.233
There was political chaos. they were walking around
00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:27.067
They were walking around digging a rut,
00:08:27.134 --> 00:08:28.001
Digging a rut, serving false gods,
00:08:28.068 --> 00:08:30.103
Serving false gods, not living in
00:08:30.170 --> 00:08:30.771
Not living in the blessings of god.
00:08:30.837 --> 00:08:32.039
The blessings of god. and as life got worse
00:08:32.105 --> 00:08:33.006
And as life got worse and worse and worse,
00:08:33.073 --> 00:08:34.241
And worse and worse, the people would cry out to god,
00:08:34.308 --> 00:08:35.909
The people would cry out to god, god would raise up a leader,
00:08:35.976 --> 00:08:37.878
God would raise up a leader, and that leader, he didn't
00:08:37.945 --> 00:08:39.546
And that leader, he didn't solve the problem.
00:08:39.613 --> 00:08:40.847
Solve the problem. you know what that leader did?
00:08:40.914 --> 00:08:41.848
You know what that leader did? he brought them closer to god.
00:08:41.915 --> 00:08:44.851
He brought them closer to god. god is the problem solver,
00:08:44.918 --> 00:08:47.621
God is the problem solver, not man.
00:08:47.688 --> 00:08:49.656
Not man. and what happened when that
00:08:49.723 --> 00:08:50.424
And what happened when that leader had brought them
00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:51.792
Leader had brought them closer to god?
00:08:51.858 --> 00:08:52.559
Closer to god? god solved the problem,
00:08:52.626 --> 00:08:53.727
God solved the problem, the people went
00:08:53.794 --> 00:08:54.461
The people went right back into the rut.
00:08:54.528 --> 00:08:56.897
Right back into the rut. they started serving false gods.
00:08:56.964 --> 00:08:59.666
They started serving false gods. how often have we seen this
00:08:59.733 --> 00:09:00.867
How often have we seen this pattern in our world today?
00:09:00.934 --> 00:09:02.235
Pattern in our world today? things get worse
00:09:02.302 --> 00:09:03.403
Things get worse and worse and worse,
00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:04.438
And worse and worse, people get frustrated
00:09:04.504 --> 00:09:05.706
People get frustrated and fed up,
00:09:05.772 --> 00:09:06.707
And fed up, they start crying out to god,
00:09:06.773 --> 00:09:07.841
They start crying out to god, they call for fasting
00:09:07.908 --> 00:09:08.942
They call for fasting and prayer and consecration,
00:09:09.009 --> 00:09:10.377
And prayer and consecration, god raises up a leader,
00:09:10.444 --> 00:09:12.045
God raises up a leader, the people get closer to god,
00:09:12.112 --> 00:09:13.113
The people get closer to god, things start to get good,
00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:14.748
Things start to get good, and where do we go?
00:09:14.815 --> 00:09:15.449
And where do we go? right back into the rut.
00:09:15.515 --> 00:09:18.485
Right back into the rut. why?
00:09:18.552 --> 00:09:20.320
Why? because we've forgotten
00:09:20.387 --> 00:09:21.254
Because we've forgotten the goodness of god
00:09:21.321 --> 00:09:22.456
The goodness of god in our lives.
00:09:22.522 --> 00:09:24.324
In our lives. we need to understand that
00:09:24.391 --> 00:09:25.626
We need to understand that god is the same yesterday,
00:09:25.692 --> 00:09:27.761
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:09:27.828 --> 00:09:29.596
Today, and forever. our answer does not come from
00:09:29.663 --> 00:09:31.531
Our answer does not come from a policy that is written
00:09:31.598 --> 00:09:32.666
A policy that is written in a government,
00:09:32.733 --> 00:09:33.600
In a government, our answer does not come
00:09:33.667 --> 00:09:35.168
Our answer does not come from a candidate that is on
00:09:35.235 --> 00:09:36.336
From a candidate that is on a ticket for election.
00:09:36.403 --> 00:09:37.704
A ticket for election. our answer is the same answer
00:09:37.771 --> 00:09:39.673
Our answer is the same answer that has been from the beginning
00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:41.108
That has been from the beginning of time and will be
00:09:41.174 --> 00:09:42.042
Of time and will be all the way to the end.
00:09:42.109 --> 00:09:43.343
All the way to the end. he is the alpha
00:09:43.410 --> 00:09:44.411
He is the alpha and he is the omega.
00:09:44.478 --> 00:09:45.846
And he is the omega. he is the first
00:09:45.912 --> 00:09:46.813
He is the first and he is the last.
00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:48.081
And he is the last. he is the king above kings
00:09:48.148 --> 00:09:49.883
He is the king above kings and the lord above lords.
00:09:49.950 --> 00:09:51.184
And the lord above lords. he sits upon the throne
00:09:51.251 --> 00:09:52.753
He sits upon the throne and he is great and greatly
00:09:52.819 --> 00:09:54.187
And he is great and greatly to be praised.
00:09:54.254 --> 00:09:55.122
To be praised. king jesus is his name.
00:09:55.188 --> 00:09:57.391
[cheering and applause]
00:09:57.724 --> 00:10:03.764
What was it with this generation
00:10:04.631 --> 00:10:06.433
What was it with this generation that they decided god
00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:07.701
That they decided god didn't exist?
00:10:07.768 --> 00:10:08.969
Didn't exist? the answer,
00:10:09.036 --> 00:10:09.603
The answer, they didn't have the same
00:10:09.670 --> 00:10:10.937
They didn't have the same struggle that their parents
00:10:11.004 --> 00:10:12.372
Struggle that their parents and their grandparents did.
00:10:12.439 --> 00:10:15.609
And their grandparents did. they had it too good.
00:10:15.676 --> 00:10:19.079
They had it too good. they didn't have to walk around
00:10:19.146 --> 00:10:20.447
They didn't have to walk around in circles in the wilderness,
00:10:20.514 --> 00:10:21.581
In circles in the wilderness, they got to sleep in homes
00:10:21.648 --> 00:10:22.949
They got to sleep in homes in the promised land.
00:10:23.016 --> 00:10:24.217
In the promised land. and when they had
00:10:24.284 --> 00:10:24.785
And when they had it comfortable,
00:10:24.851 --> 00:10:25.752
It comfortable, then they got complacent
00:10:25.819 --> 00:10:27.220
Then they got complacent in how they got
00:10:27.287 --> 00:10:28.321
In how they got to where they are.
00:10:28.388 --> 00:10:30.757
To where they are. what do we see happening
00:10:30.824 --> 00:10:31.692
What do we see happening in this world today?
00:10:31.758 --> 00:10:32.626
In this world today? we see a significant
00:10:32.693 --> 00:10:33.994
We see a significant generational shift,
00:10:34.061 --> 00:10:35.595
Generational shift, and we see the better
00:10:35.662 --> 00:10:36.596
And we see the better we have it,
00:10:36.663 --> 00:10:37.364
We have it, the softer we get,
00:10:37.431 --> 00:10:38.632
The softer we get, and the softer we get,
00:10:38.699 --> 00:10:39.599
And the softer we get, the worse things are.
00:10:39.666 --> 00:10:45.439
The worse things are. we live in a world
00:10:45.505 --> 00:10:46.139
We live in a world that is in a rut.
00:10:46.206 --> 00:10:48.875
That is in a rut. we use blame and accusation
00:10:48.942 --> 00:10:50.811
We use blame and accusation as the reasons for
00:10:50.877 --> 00:10:51.912
As the reasons for a lack of success.
00:10:51.978 --> 00:10:54.181
A lack of success. what you need to understand
00:10:54.247 --> 00:10:55.282
What you need to understand is that nothing in your life
00:10:55.348 --> 00:10:56.750
Is that nothing in your life will be successful until you
00:10:56.817 --> 00:10:57.951
Will be successful until you take responsibility for who
00:10:58.018 --> 00:10:59.653
Take responsibility for who you are and what you do.
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.788

00:11:04.458 --> 00:11:05.058
Bethlehem was no accident.
00:11:05.058 --> 00:11:06.460
Long before the world
00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:07.394
Was formed.
00:11:07.394 --> 00:11:07.994
God chose that
00:11:07.994 --> 00:11:08.862
Holy night for the savior

[applause]
00:12:00.881 --> 00:12:03.650
We live in a world where
00:12:04.151 --> 00:12:04.885
We live in a world where comparison has become
00:12:04.951 --> 00:12:06.686
Comparison has become the reason why we're withheld
00:12:06.753 --> 00:12:08.755
The reason why we're withheld from the opportunities
00:12:08.822 --> 00:12:10.023
From the opportunities that we should have.
00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:11.925
That we should have. "well, they had it
00:12:11.992 --> 00:12:12.425
"well, they had it better than me.
00:12:12.492 --> 00:12:12.959
Better than me. they got the break,
00:12:13.026 --> 00:12:14.294
They got the break, they got the opportunity.
00:12:14.361 --> 00:12:15.262
They got the opportunity. i did not."
00:12:15.328 --> 00:12:16.997
I did not." that's a lie.
00:12:17.063 --> 00:12:19.599
That's a lie. everyone in this world is
00:12:19.666 --> 00:12:21.635
Everyone in this world is equally loved and equally valued
00:12:21.701 --> 00:12:23.537
Equally loved and equally valued by a god who created you.
00:12:23.603 --> 00:12:26.473
By a god who created you. you may not start
00:12:26.540 --> 00:12:27.174
You may not start at the same place
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.341
At the same place that somebody else did,
00:12:28.408 --> 00:12:29.910
That somebody else did, but if god is with you
00:12:29.976 --> 00:12:31.444
But if god is with you and his resurrection power
00:12:31.511 --> 00:12:33.013
And his resurrection power lives in you,
00:12:33.079 --> 00:12:33.814
Lives in you, there is nothing that
00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:34.981
There is nothing that you cannot accomplish
00:12:35.048 --> 00:12:36.249
You cannot accomplish in and through his strength.
00:12:36.316 --> 00:12:37.984
In and through his strength. stop worrying about
00:12:38.051 --> 00:12:39.352
Stop worrying about what somebody else got
00:12:39.419 --> 00:12:40.654
What somebody else got and start thanking god
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.955
And start thanking god for what you have,
00:12:42.022 --> 00:12:42.989
For what you have, and use it, and see what
00:12:43.056 --> 00:12:44.491
And use it, and see what god will do with it.
00:12:44.558 --> 00:12:45.425
[applause]
00:12:45.725 --> 00:12:51.865
Whenever you turn away from god
00:12:53.233 --> 00:12:54.434
Whenever you turn away from god and lawlessness abounds,
00:12:54.501 --> 00:12:55.502
And lawlessness abounds, you dig a rut
00:12:55.569 --> 00:12:56.336
You dig a rut of political chaos,
00:12:56.403 --> 00:12:57.571
Of political chaos, you dig a rut of social chaos,
00:12:57.637 --> 00:12:59.506
You dig a rut of social chaos, you dig a rut
00:12:59.573 --> 00:13:00.440
You dig a rut of spiritual chaos.
00:13:00.507 --> 00:13:03.276
Of spiritual chaos. the bible tells us that
00:13:03.343 --> 00:13:04.444
The bible tells us that righteousness exalts a nation,
00:13:04.511 --> 00:13:06.913
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach
00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:08.048
But sin is a reproach to any people.
00:13:08.114 --> 00:13:10.050
To any people. right now,
00:13:10.116 --> 00:13:10.750
Right now, what we're experiencing
00:13:10.817 --> 00:13:11.885
What we're experiencing in this nation at a volume
00:13:11.952 --> 00:13:13.987
In this nation at a volume like we've never heard it before
00:13:14.054 --> 00:13:15.856
Like we've never heard it before is a literal crossroads,
00:13:15.922 --> 00:13:17.357
Is a literal crossroads, very similar to what
00:13:17.424 --> 00:13:18.291
Very similar to what the judges were living in
00:13:18.358 --> 00:13:19.659
The judges were living in in the book of --
00:13:19.726 --> 00:13:21.094
In the book of -- in the time of israel.
00:13:21.161 --> 00:13:22.729
In the time of israel. right now, this united states
00:13:22.796 --> 00:13:24.297
Right now, this united states is at a crossroads.
00:13:24.364 --> 00:13:26.600
Is at a crossroads. a crossroads
00:13:26.666 --> 00:13:27.300
A crossroads of righteousness and wickedness.
00:13:27.367 --> 00:13:31.238
Of righteousness and wickedness. a crossroads of responsibility
00:13:31.304 --> 00:13:33.273
A crossroads of responsibility and lawlessness.
00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:35.375
And lawlessness. a crossroads
00:13:35.442 --> 00:13:36.142
A crossroads of truth and a lie,
00:13:36.209 --> 00:13:37.844
Of truth and a lie, light and darkness.
00:13:37.911 --> 00:13:42.415
Light and darkness. at the crossroads that we face,
00:13:42.482 --> 00:13:45.318
At the crossroads that we face, there's an ancient question
00:13:45.385 --> 00:13:46.720
There's an ancient question that has to be answered
00:13:46.786 --> 00:13:47.687
That has to be answered in our modern time.
00:13:47.754 --> 00:13:49.789
In our modern time. this was the question that moses
00:13:49.856 --> 00:13:51.291
This was the question that moses asked his generation when they
00:13:51.358 --> 00:13:53.226
Asked his generation when they were at a crossroads.
00:13:53.293 --> 00:13:55.428
Were at a crossroads. they were at mount sinai
00:13:55.495 --> 00:13:56.930
They were at mount sinai and 40,000 of them decided that
00:13:56.997 --> 00:13:59.099
And 40,000 of them decided that they were gonna start worshiping
00:13:59.165 --> 00:14:00.400
They were gonna start worshiping this new golden calf theology.
00:14:00.467 --> 00:14:04.704
This new golden calf theology. and when moses saw what was
00:14:04.771 --> 00:14:06.673
And when moses saw what was going on in israel,
00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:07.474
Going on in israel, he asked the question,
00:14:07.540 --> 00:14:08.975
He asked the question, "who is on the lord's side?"
00:14:09.042 --> 00:14:12.412
"who is on the lord's side?" and then, he gave them
00:14:12.479 --> 00:14:13.280
And then, he gave them a command, "come to me."
00:14:13.346 --> 00:14:16.182
A command, "come to me." you see, it's not enough
00:14:16.249 --> 00:14:17.050
You see, it's not enough to say you're on god's side,
00:14:17.117 --> 00:14:18.518
To say you're on god's side, you actually have to put
00:14:18.585 --> 00:14:19.586
You actually have to put actions with your beliefs.
00:14:19.653 --> 00:14:23.123
Actions with your beliefs. and whenever the lord saw those
00:14:23.189 --> 00:14:25.158
And whenever the lord saw those who chose him and came to moses,
00:14:25.225 --> 00:14:27.861
Who chose him and came to moses, he opened up a hole
00:14:27.928 --> 00:14:28.762
He opened up a hole in the ground and swallowed
00:14:28.828 --> 00:14:30.096
In the ground and swallowed everybody else in it.
00:14:30.163 --> 00:14:32.365
Everybody else in it. now, let me give you
00:14:32.432 --> 00:14:33.099
Now, let me give you your options,
00:14:33.166 --> 00:14:35.168
Your options, you come to god,
00:14:35.235 --> 00:14:37.938
You come to god, or you're dismissed.
00:14:38.004 --> 00:14:42.175
Or you're dismissed. that's the polite way
00:14:42.242 --> 00:14:43.043
That's the polite way to say buried alive.
00:14:43.109 --> 00:14:46.479
To say buried alive. given those two,
00:14:46.546 --> 00:14:47.147
Given those two, which one of you say,
00:14:47.213 --> 00:14:47.981
Which one of you say, "i'm on the lord's side?"
00:14:48.048 --> 00:14:50.650
"i'm on the lord's side?" i can hear the holy spirit
00:14:50.717 --> 00:14:52.252
I can hear the holy spirit echoing through the generations,
00:14:52.319 --> 00:14:54.020
Echoing through the generations, "who is on the lord's side?
00:14:54.087 --> 00:14:56.389
"who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?
00:14:56.456 --> 00:14:58.658
Who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?"
00:14:58.725 --> 00:15:00.393
Who is on the lord's side?" he doesn't want
00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:01.328
He doesn't want to hear your amen,
00:15:01.394 --> 00:15:02.595
To hear your amen, he wants to see you put
00:15:02.662 --> 00:15:03.930
He wants to see you put action to your faith and start
00:15:03.997 --> 00:15:05.865
Action to your faith and start to behave like you believe.
00:15:05.932 --> 00:15:07.334
To behave like you believe. father, if you're on
00:15:07.400 --> 00:15:08.768
Father, if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:08.835 --> 00:15:09.703
The lord's side, when you go home, train up
00:15:09.769 --> 00:15:11.504
When you go home, train up your children in the fear
00:15:11.571 --> 00:15:12.806
Your children in the fear and the admonition of god.
00:15:12.872 --> 00:15:14.374
And the admonition of god. teach them that what is in this
00:15:14.441 --> 00:15:15.875
Teach them that what is in this book is not free advice
00:15:15.942 --> 00:15:17.978
Book is not free advice that they might try,
00:15:18.044 --> 00:15:19.212
That they might try, but this is the truth
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.447
But this is the truth that will set them free.
00:15:20.513 --> 00:15:21.648
That will set them free. mother, if you're on
00:15:21.715 --> 00:15:22.749
Mother, if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:22.816 --> 00:15:23.683
The lord's side, give your children
00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:24.451
Give your children a living example of what
00:15:24.517 --> 00:15:25.852
A living example of what it means to give god credit,
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.988
It means to give god credit, and glory, and honor for
00:15:28.054 --> 00:15:29.456
And glory, and honor for everything that you have.
00:15:29.522 --> 00:15:30.757
Everything that you have. young person, if you're on
00:15:30.824 --> 00:15:32.192
Young person, if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:32.258 --> 00:15:33.126
The lord's side, don't let this world
00:15:33.193 --> 00:15:34.361
Don't let this world define your morality.
00:15:34.427 --> 00:15:36.029
Define your morality. understand that you are not
00:15:36.096 --> 00:15:37.464
Understand that you are not who they say you are,
00:15:37.530 --> 00:15:38.665
Who they say you are, you are who god
00:15:38.732 --> 00:15:39.599
You are who god created you to be.
00:15:39.666 --> 00:15:40.834
Created you to be. pastor, if you're on
00:15:40.900 --> 00:15:42.102
Pastor, if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:42.168 --> 00:15:43.069
The lord's side, don't preach what
00:15:43.136 --> 00:15:44.004
Don't preach what makes them comfortable,
00:15:44.070 --> 00:15:45.105
Makes them comfortable, don't say what makes 'em happy,
00:15:45.171 --> 00:15:47.073
Don't say what makes 'em happy, preach the word in season
00:15:47.140 --> 00:15:48.975
Preach the word in season and out of season.
00:15:49.042 --> 00:15:50.210
And out of season. preach it without shame.
00:15:50.276 --> 00:15:51.845
Preach it without shame. preach it because it
00:15:51.911 --> 00:15:52.979
Preach it because it is the only thing
00:15:53.046 --> 00:15:53.747
Is the only thing that brings the glory of god
00:15:53.813 --> 00:15:55.348
That brings the glory of god and his power into the lives
00:15:55.415 --> 00:15:56.916
And his power into the lives of those who hear it.
00:15:56.983 --> 00:15:58.151
Of those who hear it. if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:58.218 --> 00:15:59.786
If you're on the lord's side, let god arise and his enemies
00:15:59.853 --> 00:16:01.855
Let god arise and his enemies be scattered.
00:16:01.921 --> 00:16:02.789
[cheering and applause]
00:16:03.023 --> 00:16:09.095
The way that you dig yourself
00:16:09.596 --> 00:16:10.830
The way that you dig yourself out of a rut is you turn to god.
00:16:10.897 --> 00:16:16.036
Out of a rut is you turn to god. this is what the psalmist said
00:16:16.102 --> 00:16:17.103
This is what the psalmist said in psalm 40:2.
00:16:17.170 --> 00:16:19.005
In psalm 40:2. it says, "he brought me
00:16:19.072 --> 00:16:20.774
It says, "he brought me out of a horrible pit,
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.710
Out of a horrible pit, out of a miry clay,
00:16:23.777 --> 00:16:25.078
Out of a miry clay, and he set my feet on a rock.
00:16:25.145 --> 00:16:29.716
And he set my feet on a rock. if there was ever a beautiful
00:16:29.783 --> 00:16:30.550
If there was ever a beautiful verse about the testimony
00:16:30.617 --> 00:16:31.918
Verse about the testimony of those who put their
00:16:31.985 --> 00:16:32.886
Of those who put their faith in god, there it is.
00:16:32.952 --> 00:16:34.421
Faith in god, there it is. he brought me out
00:16:34.487 --> 00:16:36.423
He brought me out of a miry clay.
00:16:36.489 --> 00:16:38.358
Of a miry clay. i don't care who you are
00:16:38.425 --> 00:16:39.559
I don't care who you are and what you've been through,
00:16:39.626 --> 00:16:40.794
And what you've been through, your life without christ
00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:42.262
Your life without christ was a miry clay.
00:16:42.328 --> 00:16:44.297
Was a miry clay. you were dead in quicksand
00:16:44.364 --> 00:16:46.166
You were dead in quicksand whether you knew it or not.
00:16:46.232 --> 00:16:47.634
Whether you knew it or not. but the second that
00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:48.435
But the second that you called upon him,
00:16:48.501 --> 00:16:50.136
You called upon him, he reached down to the lowest
00:16:50.203 --> 00:16:51.438
He reached down to the lowest depths of where you were
00:16:51.504 --> 00:16:52.772
Depths of where you were and he picked you up
00:16:52.839 --> 00:16:54.240
And he picked you up and he brought you out.
00:16:54.307 --> 00:16:55.608
And he brought you out. and when he brought you out,
00:16:55.675 --> 00:16:57.043
And when he brought you out, he didn't abandon you,
00:16:57.110 --> 00:16:58.545
He didn't abandon you, he established you.
00:16:58.611 --> 00:17:00.180
He established you. he set you on the rock of ages.
00:17:00.246 --> 00:17:02.382
He set you on the rock of ages. he set you on a truth
00:17:02.449 --> 00:17:03.817
He set you on a truth and a foundation that
00:17:03.883 --> 00:17:04.784
And a foundation that no matter what storm comes,
00:17:04.851 --> 00:17:06.553
No matter what storm comes, you will endure because
00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:08.254
You will endure because you have built your house
00:17:08.321 --> 00:17:09.556
You have built your house on the solid rock
00:17:09.622 --> 00:17:10.623
On the solid rock who is jesus christ.
00:17:10.690 --> 00:17:12.158
Who is jesus christ. is there anybody in this
00:17:12.225 --> 00:17:13.660
Is there anybody in this sanctuary that says,
00:17:13.726 --> 00:17:14.961
Sanctuary that says, "where i was when he found me
00:17:15.028 --> 00:17:16.896
"where i was when he found me was a horrible pit,
00:17:16.963 --> 00:17:18.131
Was a horrible pit, but he reached down,
00:17:18.198 --> 00:17:19.466
But he reached down, and he brought me out,
00:17:19.532 --> 00:17:21.000
And he brought me out, and he set me on
00:17:21.067 --> 00:17:22.702
And he set me on the rock of his truth,
00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:24.037
The rock of his truth, he set me on the promise
00:17:24.104 --> 00:17:25.705
He set me on the promise of his provision.
00:17:25.772 --> 00:17:26.773
Of his provision. he brought my marriage
00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:28.041
He brought my marriage out of a horrible pit,
00:17:28.108 --> 00:17:29.642
Out of a horrible pit, and we're here today because
00:17:29.709 --> 00:17:31.344
And we're here today because god is on our side.
00:17:31.411 --> 00:17:32.579
God is on our side. he brought my business
00:17:32.645 --> 00:17:33.847
He brought my business out of a miry clay
00:17:33.913 --> 00:17:35.482
Out of a miry clay and i'm blessed today
00:17:35.548 --> 00:17:36.616
And i'm blessed today because he's my provider.
00:17:36.683 --> 00:17:38.151
Because he's my provider. when the doctor diagnosed me,
00:17:38.218 --> 00:17:39.719
When the doctor diagnosed me, he reached down
00:17:39.786 --> 00:17:40.720
He reached down and he caught me,
00:17:40.787 --> 00:17:41.821
And he caught me, and he said,
00:17:41.888 --> 00:17:42.222
And he said, "i am the great physician
00:17:42.288 --> 00:17:43.690
"i am the great physician by whose stripes
00:17:43.756 --> 00:17:44.691
By whose stripes you are healed."
00:17:44.757 --> 00:17:45.792
You are healed." there isn't anybody
00:17:45.859 --> 00:17:46.893
There isn't anybody in this room that you are
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.261
In this room that you are where you are today without
00:17:48.328 --> 00:17:49.929
Where you are today without god reaching down,
00:17:49.996 --> 00:17:51.231
God reaching down, and pulling you out,
00:17:51.297 --> 00:17:52.298
And pulling you out, and bringing you where you are,
00:17:52.365 --> 00:17:54.200
And bringing you where you are, so give god all the glory
00:17:54.267 --> 00:17:56.569
So give god all the glory and all of the praise.
00:17:56.636 --> 00:17:57.737
[cheering and applause]
00:17:58.004 --> 00:18:05.945
The difference
00:18:07.046 --> 00:18:07.480
The difference between the warrior,
00:18:07.547 --> 00:18:08.448
Between the warrior, the whiner, the winner,
00:18:08.515 --> 00:18:09.749
The whiner, the winner, and the wimp is not
00:18:09.816 --> 00:18:11.784
And the wimp is not the adversity,
00:18:11.851 --> 00:18:13.653
The adversity, it's not the struggle,
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:15.955
It's not the struggle, it's the choice that
00:18:16.022 --> 00:18:17.157
It's the choice that the individual makes.
00:18:17.223 --> 00:18:20.093
The individual makes. the whiner complains
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.295
The whiner complains about the problem,
00:18:22.362 --> 00:18:24.330
About the problem, the wimp ignores the problem,
00:18:24.397 --> 00:18:27.367
The wimp ignores the problem, the warrior faces the problem,
00:18:27.433 --> 00:18:30.670
The warrior faces the problem, and the winner fights
00:18:30.737 --> 00:18:32.205
And the winner fights in god's strength.
00:18:32.272 --> 00:18:34.941
In god's strength. every one of you have a choice
00:18:35.008 --> 00:18:36.309
Every one of you have a choice to make and the choice you
00:18:36.376 --> 00:18:37.610
To make and the choice you make defines who you are.
00:18:37.677 --> 00:18:40.813
Make defines who you are. choose to be a warrior.
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.583
Choose to be a warrior. choose to confront the problem.
00:18:43.650 --> 00:18:46.052
Choose to confront the problem. choose to face the enemy.
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.489
Choose to face the enemy. when you make this choice,
00:18:49.556 --> 00:18:50.823
When you make this choice, you're going to irritate
00:18:50.890 --> 00:18:51.991
You're going to irritate the world, the flesh,
00:18:52.058 --> 00:18:53.159
The world, the flesh, and the devil.
00:18:53.226 --> 00:18:55.028
And the devil. but remember this,
00:18:55.094 --> 00:18:56.196
But remember this, our battle is not carnal,
00:18:56.262 --> 00:18:57.730
Our battle is not carnal, but it is mighty.
00:18:57.797 --> 00:18:58.831
But it is mighty. and every weapon that
00:18:58.898 --> 00:18:59.966
And every weapon that he has given you
00:19:00.033 --> 00:19:01.434
He has given you is for the pulling down
00:19:01.501 --> 00:19:02.268
Is for the pulling down of strongholds and every high
00:19:02.335 --> 00:19:03.903
Of strongholds and every high thing that exalts itself
00:19:03.970 --> 00:19:05.638
Thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of god.
00:19:05.705 --> 00:19:08.174
Against the knowledge of god. when you make the decision
00:19:08.241 --> 00:19:09.142
When you make the decision to be a warrior,
00:19:09.209 --> 00:19:10.109
To be a warrior, the world is going
00:19:10.176 --> 00:19:11.044
The world is going to critique you,
00:19:11.110 --> 00:19:13.079
To critique you, they're going to write
00:19:13.146 --> 00:19:14.013
They're going to write things about you,
00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:14.981
Things about you, they're going to say
00:19:15.048 --> 00:19:15.815
They're going to say things about you,
00:19:15.882 --> 00:19:16.883
Things about you, they're going to give you
00:19:16.950 --> 00:19:17.483
They're going to give you thumbs down on your
00:19:17.550 --> 00:19:18.818
Thumbs down on your social media feed.
00:19:18.885 --> 00:19:23.056
Social media feed. if their clicks and their
00:19:23.122 --> 00:19:24.424
If their clicks and their likes could kill you,
00:19:24.490 --> 00:19:25.992
Likes could kill you, you would've been dead
00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:27.026
You would've been dead a long time ago.
00:19:27.093 --> 00:19:33.466
A long time ago. you have to be willing to be
00:19:33.533 --> 00:19:34.767
You have to be willing to be a warrior and understand that
00:19:34.834 --> 00:19:37.437
A warrior and understand that your warfare is real.
00:19:37.503 --> 00:19:41.040
Your warfare is real. people say,
00:19:41.107 --> 00:19:41.608
People say, "well, aren't christians
00:19:41.674 --> 00:19:42.275
"well, aren't christians supposed to be peacemakers?"
00:19:42.342 --> 00:19:43.943
Supposed to be peacemakers?" we're supposed
00:19:44.010 --> 00:19:44.711
We're supposed to be peacekeepers.
00:19:44.777 --> 00:19:47.480
To be peacekeepers. jesus christ is the prince
00:19:47.547 --> 00:19:49.148
Jesus christ is the prince of peace and the way
00:19:49.215 --> 00:19:51.017
Of peace and the way that we keep the peace
00:19:51.084 --> 00:19:52.185
That we keep the peace that he has given us
00:19:52.252 --> 00:19:53.186
That he has given us is we take a stand
00:19:53.253 --> 00:19:54.921
Is we take a stand in the day of evil.
00:19:54.988 --> 00:19:56.823
In the day of evil. that statement to take a stand
00:19:56.889 --> 00:19:58.558
That statement to take a stand is not a passive statement,
00:19:58.625 --> 00:20:00.493
Is not a passive statement, it is an aggressive statement.
00:20:00.560 --> 00:20:02.895
It is an aggressive statement. it means that you draw
00:20:02.962 --> 00:20:03.896
It means that you draw a line and you say,
00:20:03.963 --> 00:20:05.465
A line and you say, "the enemy cannot come
00:20:05.531 --> 00:20:07.600
"the enemy cannot come any farther because
00:20:07.667 --> 00:20:08.601
Any farther because this is where i stand,
00:20:08.668 --> 00:20:10.069
This is where i stand, and where i stand, he stops.
00:20:10.136 --> 00:20:12.171
[applause]
00:20:12.438 --> 00:20:19.579
So, once you choose to be
00:20:21.214 --> 00:20:22.181
So, once you choose to be a warrior, how do you win?
00:20:22.248 --> 00:20:24.951
A warrior, how do you win? there's three things that
00:20:25.018 --> 00:20:25.952
There's three things that every warrior needs to win
00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:27.987
Every warrior needs to win and the first is to remember
00:20:28.054 --> 00:20:29.355
And the first is to remember what you're fighting for.
00:20:29.422 --> 00:20:32.091
What you're fighting for. remember what
00:20:32.158 --> 00:20:32.859
Remember what you're fighting for.
00:20:32.925 --> 00:20:35.428
You're fighting for. don't take it personally.
00:20:35.495 --> 00:20:38.631
Don't take it personally. believe it or not,
00:20:38.698 --> 00:20:39.299
Believe it or not, not everything in this life
00:20:39.365 --> 00:20:40.433
Not everything in this life revolves around you.
00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:44.671
Revolves around you. with one exception, the world
00:20:44.737 --> 00:20:46.005
With one exception, the world is full of other people.
00:20:46.072 --> 00:20:48.274
Is full of other people. just think about it.
00:20:48.341 --> 00:20:51.077
Just think about it. but whenever you decide
00:20:51.144 --> 00:20:51.911
But whenever you decide that you remember what
00:20:51.978 --> 00:20:52.745
That you remember what you're fighting for,
00:20:52.812 --> 00:20:55.081
You're fighting for, you'll find the courage
00:20:55.148 --> 00:20:57.050
You'll find the courage to face the adversity.
00:20:57.116 --> 00:21:00.253
To face the adversity. consider this
00:21:00.320 --> 00:21:00.787
Consider this in the life of david.
00:21:00.853 --> 00:21:02.989
In the life of david. he goes to the battlefield where
00:21:03.056 --> 00:21:04.390
He goes to the battlefield where goliath is challenging
00:21:04.457 --> 00:21:05.758
Goliath is challenging the army of israel.
00:21:05.825 --> 00:21:06.759
The army of israel. goliath's offer is very simple,
00:21:06.826 --> 00:21:08.761
Goliath's offer is very simple, "if i defeat your champion,
00:21:08.828 --> 00:21:10.797
"if i defeat your champion, you will be our slaves.
00:21:10.863 --> 00:21:13.666
You will be our slaves. and if he defeats me,
00:21:13.733 --> 00:21:14.767
And if he defeats me, we will be your slaves."
00:21:14.834 --> 00:21:17.570
We will be your slaves." when david hears that
00:21:17.637 --> 00:21:19.272
When david hears that this is an all or nothing
00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:20.473
This is an all or nothing fight and he recognizes
00:21:20.540 --> 00:21:22.008
Fight and he recognizes that he's not only fighting
00:21:22.075 --> 00:21:23.409
That he's not only fighting to protect what god
00:21:23.476 --> 00:21:24.510
To protect what god has done in the past,
00:21:24.577 --> 00:21:26.012
Has done in the past, but he is fighting to defend
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.547
But he is fighting to defend what god has planned
00:21:27.613 --> 00:21:28.981
What god has planned in the future, he says,
00:21:29.048 --> 00:21:30.850
In the future, he says, "how do we not face this giant?
00:21:30.917 --> 00:21:33.653
"how do we not face this giant? everybody else is saying,
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:34.754
Everybody else is saying, "well, if i go down there
00:21:34.821 --> 00:21:35.722
"well, if i go down there and he kills me,
00:21:35.788 --> 00:21:36.689
And he kills me, what good is my future?"
00:21:36.756 --> 00:21:38.057
What good is my future?" and david is saying,
00:21:38.124 --> 00:21:39.325
And david is saying, "if we don't kill him,
00:21:39.392 --> 00:21:40.393
"if we don't kill him, he's gonna control us
00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:41.594
He's gonna control us so we've got something
00:21:41.661 --> 00:21:42.862
So we've got something worth fighting for."
00:21:42.929 --> 00:21:45.398
Worth fighting for." one of the reasons that
00:21:45.465 --> 00:21:46.099
One of the reasons that people are afraid to face
00:21:46.165 --> 00:21:47.367
People are afraid to face the challenges that they have
00:21:47.433 --> 00:21:48.568
The challenges that they have in this life is because
00:21:48.634 --> 00:21:49.969
In this life is because they've been intimidated
00:21:50.036 --> 00:21:51.237
They've been intimidated by a roaring lion whether
00:21:51.304 --> 00:21:52.805
By a roaring lion whether they know it or not.
00:21:52.872 --> 00:21:54.407
They know it or not. the bible says our enemy
00:21:54.474 --> 00:21:55.575
The bible says our enemy is a roaring lion.
00:21:55.641 --> 00:21:56.976
Is a roaring lion. that means he makes a lot
00:21:57.043 --> 00:21:58.044
That means he makes a lot of noise hoping that the noise
00:21:58.111 --> 00:21:59.612
Of noise hoping that the noise that he makes will discourage
00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:01.180
That he makes will discourage you from talking back to him.
00:22:01.247 --> 00:22:04.784
You from talking back to him. he wants you scared,
00:22:04.851 --> 00:22:05.918
He wants you scared, full of fear,
00:22:05.985 --> 00:22:06.953
Full of fear, wondering and worrying
00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:08.087
Wondering and worrying what he's gonna do next.
00:22:08.154 --> 00:22:09.622
What he's gonna do next. and the reason he wants you
00:22:09.689 --> 00:22:10.823
And the reason he wants you wondering and worrying what
00:22:10.890 --> 00:22:12.358
Wondering and worrying what he's going to do next,
00:22:12.425 --> 00:22:13.192
He's going to do next, he knows that if you
00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:14.227
He knows that if you put your faith and your
00:22:14.293 --> 00:22:15.328
Put your faith and your confidence in god,
00:22:15.395 --> 00:22:16.596
Confidence in god, that he has to go because
00:22:16.662 --> 00:22:18.831
That he has to go because the bible says,
00:22:18.898 --> 00:22:19.465
The bible says, "submit to god,
00:22:19.532 --> 00:22:20.500
"submit to god, resist the devil,
00:22:20.566 --> 00:22:21.801
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
00:22:21.868 --> 00:22:23.503
And he will flee from you." god made a promise
00:22:23.569 --> 00:22:24.771
God made a promise to the new testament church.
00:22:24.837 --> 00:22:26.205
To the new testament church. he said god will soon crush
00:22:26.272 --> 00:22:28.741
He said god will soon crush satan underneath your feet.
00:22:28.808 --> 00:22:31.444
Satan underneath your feet. child of god, that means that
00:22:31.511 --> 00:22:32.812
Child of god, that means that all you have to do is take
00:22:32.879 --> 00:22:34.714
All you have to do is take a stand based on god's word
00:22:34.781 --> 00:22:36.649
A stand based on god's word and announce to the enemy,
00:22:36.716 --> 00:22:38.418
And announce to the enemy, "you're not coming any farther.
00:22:38.484 --> 00:22:40.686
"you're not coming any farther. the generational curse
00:22:40.753 --> 00:22:42.121
The generational curse didn't start with me,
00:22:42.188 --> 00:22:43.456
Didn't start with me, but it stops with me.
00:22:43.523 --> 00:22:44.824
But it stops with me. the problem is going
00:22:44.891 --> 00:22:45.992
The problem is going to be solved today.
00:22:46.058 --> 00:22:47.193
To be solved today. the mountain is going
00:22:47.260 --> 00:22:48.361
The mountain is going to move in jesus' name.
00:22:48.428 --> 00:22:50.163
To move in jesus' name. the giant that i am facing
00:22:50.229 --> 00:22:51.764
The giant that i am facing will not be here anymore
00:22:51.831 --> 00:22:53.433
Will not be here anymore because he comes to me
00:22:53.499 --> 00:22:54.634
Because he comes to me with spear and a sword,
00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:55.768
With spear and a sword, but i come to him
00:22:55.835 --> 00:22:57.003
But i come to him in the name of the lord."
00:22:57.069 --> 00:22:58.204
[cheering and applause]

You're fighting for. you're fighting for everything
00:23:11.517 --> 00:23:12.885
You're fighting for everything that those who came before you
00:23:12.952 --> 00:23:14.287
That those who came before you struggled to give you.
00:23:14.353 --> 00:23:16.522
Struggled to give you. remember what
00:23:16.589 --> 00:23:17.123
Remember what you're fighting for.
00:23:17.190 --> 00:23:17.890
You're fighting for. the fact that god's word
00:23:17.957 --> 00:23:19.492
The fact that god's word is alive and powerful.
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:21.060
Is alive and powerful. therefore be bold and be strong
00:23:21.127 --> 00:23:23.963
Therefore be bold and be strong for the lord god is with you.
00:23:24.030 --> 00:23:26.165
For the lord god is with you. the second thing
00:23:26.232 --> 00:23:26.866
The second thing that every warrior needs
00:23:26.933 --> 00:23:28.134
That every warrior needs is a battle plan.
00:23:28.201 --> 00:23:31.070
Is a battle plan. you can't go in blind,
00:23:31.137 --> 00:23:33.806
You can't go in blind, you gotta make a plan.
00:23:33.873 --> 00:23:36.008
You gotta make a plan. god gives david a plan.
00:23:36.075 --> 00:23:37.343
God gives david a plan. "take five smooth stones."
00:23:37.410 --> 00:23:40.046
"take five smooth stones." why did david take
00:23:40.112 --> 00:23:40.847
Why did david take five smooth stones?
00:23:40.913 --> 00:23:41.948
Five smooth stones? goliath had four brothers.
00:23:42.014 --> 00:23:45.117
Goliath had four brothers. he wasn't taking
00:23:45.184 --> 00:23:45.918
He wasn't taking extra ammunition,
00:23:45.985 --> 00:23:46.953
Extra ammunition, he already had confidence
00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:48.387
He already had confidence that he wasn't gonna miss.
00:23:48.454 --> 00:23:51.691
That he wasn't gonna miss. you put your faith
00:23:51.757 --> 00:23:52.558
You put your faith in god's plan,
00:23:52.625 --> 00:23:53.926
In god's plan, god's plan will work.
00:23:53.993 --> 00:23:57.196
[applause]
00:23:57.530 --> 00:24:03.603
I know people
00:24:04.136 --> 00:24:04.737
I know people who have a battle plan
00:24:04.804 --> 00:24:05.705
Who have a battle plan for their business.
00:24:05.771 --> 00:24:06.672
For their business. they sit with strategists
00:24:06.739 --> 00:24:08.307
They sit with strategists and discuss it.
00:24:08.374 --> 00:24:09.242
And discuss it. i know people
00:24:09.308 --> 00:24:09.609
I know people who have a battle plan
00:24:09.675 --> 00:24:10.409
Who have a battle plan for their physical health.
00:24:10.476 --> 00:24:11.944
For their physical health. they have a battle plan for
00:24:12.011 --> 00:24:13.145
They have a battle plan for every area of their life.
00:24:13.212 --> 00:24:14.113
Every area of their life. they've got all kinds
00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:15.181
They've got all kinds of battle plans for everything,
00:24:15.248 --> 00:24:16.682
Of battle plans for everything, but they don't have a battle
00:24:16.749 --> 00:24:18.017
But they don't have a battle plan for the spiritual success
00:24:18.084 --> 00:24:19.385
Plan for the spiritual success that they want.
00:24:19.452 --> 00:24:21.187
That they want. you need a plan.
00:24:21.254 --> 00:24:23.923
You need a plan. and the third thing
00:24:23.990 --> 00:24:24.724
And the third thing that every warrior needs,
00:24:24.790 --> 00:24:28.094
That every warrior needs, is to remember whose strength
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:29.095
Is to remember whose strength you're fighting in.
00:24:29.161 --> 00:24:32.465
You're fighting in. the bible says that
00:24:32.532 --> 00:24:33.132
The bible says that the battle belongs to the lord.
00:24:33.199 --> 00:24:37.803
The battle belongs to the lord. it's not by might nor by power
00:24:37.870 --> 00:24:42.174
It's not by might nor by power but by your spirit.
00:24:42.241 --> 00:24:46.445
But by your spirit. the difference between
00:24:46.512 --> 00:24:47.213
The difference between a warrior and a winner
00:24:47.280 --> 00:24:49.749
A warrior and a winner is that a warrior will fight
00:24:49.815 --> 00:24:50.850
Is that a warrior will fight in his strength and lose,
00:24:50.917 --> 00:24:53.953
In his strength and lose, but those who go to war with
00:24:54.020 --> 00:24:55.288
But those who go to war with the spirit of god in them
00:24:55.354 --> 00:24:56.889
The spirit of god in them cannot be defeated.
00:24:56.956 --> 00:25:01.260
Cannot be defeated. the world that we live in
00:25:01.327 --> 00:25:02.695
The world that we live in is a place of struggle
00:25:02.762 --> 00:25:03.963
Is a place of struggle and conflict,
00:25:04.030 --> 00:25:05.898
And conflict, it can't be avoided.
00:25:05.965 --> 00:25:10.202
It can't be avoided. you can wimp out,
00:25:10.269 --> 00:25:13.105
You can wimp out, you can whine about it,
00:25:13.172 --> 00:25:15.474
You can whine about it, get on facebook,
00:25:15.541 --> 00:25:18.144
Get on facebook, just share your feelings.
00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:19.912
[laughter]
00:25:20.212 --> 00:25:22.648
Your feelings
00:25:23.015 --> 00:25:23.516
Your feelings won't fix the problem.
00:25:23.583 --> 00:25:27.687
Won't fix the problem. or you can choose today
00:25:27.753 --> 00:25:28.688
Or you can choose today to face it as a warrior filled
00:25:28.754 --> 00:25:31.357
To face it as a warrior filled with god's spirit and see
00:25:31.424 --> 00:25:33.726
With god's spirit and see what god can do
00:25:33.793 --> 00:25:36.596
What god can do as he turns you into
00:25:36.662 --> 00:25:37.396
As he turns you into more than a conqueror
00:25:37.463 --> 00:25:39.065
More than a conqueror through christ.
00:25:39.131 --> 00:25:40.933
Through christ. would you give the lord
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.534
Would you give the lord a handclap of praise?
00:25:41.601 --> 00:25:42.234
