Music
00:00:01.084 --> 00:00:14.864
Pastor matt hagee: in
00:00:18.101 --> 00:00:18.601
Pastor matt hagee: in hebrews 11,
00:00:18.668 --> 00:00:21.271
Hebrews 11, we have what has been called
00:00:21.337 --> 00:00:22.272
We have what has been called the hall of fame of faith
00:00:22.338 --> 00:00:24.707
The hall of fame of faith and the singular thread
00:00:24.774 --> 00:00:25.775
And the singular thread that carries through each
00:00:25.842 --> 00:00:26.810
That carries through each and every life that is listed
00:00:26.876 --> 00:00:28.344
And every life that is listed there is that what they did,
00:00:28.411 --> 00:00:30.447
There is that what they did, they did in one way, by faith.
00:00:30.513 --> 00:00:35.185
They did in one way, by faith. everything that you will
00:00:35.251 --> 00:00:35.852
Everything that you will ever do for god and that god
00:00:35.919 --> 00:00:37.353
Ever do for god and that god will ever do with you
00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:39.322
Will ever do with you will be done by faith.
00:00:39.389 --> 00:00:42.425
Will be done by faith. it doesn't matter who has
00:00:42.492 --> 00:00:43.560
It doesn't matter who has something to say against you.
00:00:43.626 --> 00:00:45.962
Something to say against you. if you have faith in god
00:00:46.029 --> 00:00:47.430
If you have faith in god and if he is for you,
00:00:47.497 --> 00:00:48.898
And if he is for you, who can be against you?
00:00:48.965 --> 00:00:51.634
Who can be against you? when we get to hebrews 11:32,
00:00:51.701 --> 00:00:55.505
When we get to hebrews 11:32, the author of hebrews
00:00:55.572 --> 00:00:56.473
The author of hebrews is writing to a predominantly
00:00:56.539 --> 00:00:59.109
Is writing to a predominantly jewish audience.
00:00:59.175 --> 00:00:59.909
Jewish audience. they understand jewish history.
00:00:59.976 --> 00:01:02.078
They understand jewish history. they've been taught
00:01:02.145 --> 00:01:03.313
They've been taught the stories of the past.
00:01:03.379 --> 00:01:05.515
The stories of the past. and so, rather than get
00:01:05.582 --> 00:01:06.316
And so, rather than get into the details of each
00:01:06.382 --> 00:01:07.517
Into the details of each and every individual
00:01:07.584 --> 00:01:08.585
And every individual and what they accomplished,
00:01:08.651 --> 00:01:09.886
And what they accomplished, he just puts them all
00:01:09.953 --> 00:01:11.254
He just puts them all into a group and says,
00:01:11.321 --> 00:01:12.188
Into a group and says, "what more should i say
00:01:12.255 --> 00:01:14.057
"what more should i say because time would fail me.
00:01:14.124 --> 00:01:15.425
Because time would fail me. if i told every story,
00:01:15.492 --> 00:01:16.860
If i told every story, this chapter would never end,"
00:01:16.926 --> 00:01:18.261
This chapter would never end," is what he's saying.
00:01:18.328 --> 00:01:20.063
Is what he's saying. and he writes about
00:01:20.130 --> 00:01:20.930
And he writes about individuals like gideon,
00:01:20.997 --> 00:01:23.366
Individuals like gideon, and barak, and samson,
00:01:23.433 --> 00:01:25.468
And barak, and samson, and jephthah, and david,
00:01:25.535 --> 00:01:27.837
And jephthah, and david, and samuel, and the prophets.
00:01:27.904 --> 00:01:30.240
And samuel, and the prophets. he literally goes from
00:01:30.306 --> 00:01:31.474
He literally goes from the book of judges
00:01:31.541 --> 00:01:32.442
The book of judges all the way through
00:01:32.509 --> 00:01:34.043
All the way through the end of the old testament
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:35.712
The end of the old testament talking about how these
00:01:35.778 --> 00:01:37.080
Talking about how these individuals were able to do
00:01:37.147 --> 00:01:38.748
Individuals were able to do great things by faith.
00:01:38.815 --> 00:01:42.652
Great things by faith. but when you take
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:43.186
But when you take a closer look at the names
00:01:43.253 --> 00:01:44.420
A closer look at the names that he's listed here,
00:01:44.487 --> 00:01:45.321
That he's listed here, what you discover is that
00:01:45.388 --> 00:01:46.890
What you discover is that they weren't always warriors
00:01:46.956 --> 00:01:48.458
They weren't always warriors and winners who lived by faith.
00:01:48.525 --> 00:01:50.560
And winners who lived by faith. when we meet them,
00:01:50.627 --> 00:01:51.794
When we meet them, some of them were wimps
00:01:51.861 --> 00:01:53.463
Some of them were wimps and some of them were whiners.
00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:57.834
And some of them were whiners. and the good news is,
00:01:57.901 --> 00:01:59.802
And the good news is, god gave them the strength
00:01:59.869 --> 00:02:01.671
God gave them the strength to overcome because of what
00:02:01.738 --> 00:02:03.840
To overcome because of what they did with their faith.
00:02:03.907 --> 00:02:06.376
They did with their faith. rather than look
00:02:06.442 --> 00:02:06.976
Rather than look at the circumstances,
00:02:07.043 --> 00:02:08.044
At the circumstances, they put their faith in a god
00:02:08.111 --> 00:02:09.779
They put their faith in a god who gave them the ability
00:02:09.846 --> 00:02:11.514
Who gave them the ability to overcome circumstance.
00:02:11.581 --> 00:02:13.683
To overcome circumstance. what you need to know as
00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:14.617
What you need to know as a child of god in the world
00:02:14.684 --> 00:02:16.252
A child of god in the world that we live in,
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.153
That we live in, is that you are not here to
00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:18.154
Is that you are not here to live beneath the circumstance,
00:02:18.221 --> 00:02:20.456
Live beneath the circumstance, you are here to live above
00:02:20.523 --> 00:02:21.724
You are here to live above the circumstance by the power
00:02:21.791 --> 00:02:23.326
The circumstance by the power of the living god
00:02:23.393 --> 00:02:24.160
Of the living god that is in you.
00:02:24.227 --> 00:02:27.197
That is in you. every warrior and every winner
00:02:27.263 --> 00:02:30.033
Every warrior and every winner comes to the place of their
00:02:30.099 --> 00:02:31.768
Comes to the place of their victory through god.
00:02:31.834 --> 00:02:34.270
Victory through god. the bible says,
00:02:34.337 --> 00:02:34.904
The bible says, "our faith is the victory
00:02:34.971 --> 00:02:37.240
"our faith is the victory that overcomes the world."
00:02:37.307 --> 00:02:40.877
That overcomes the world." whenever the author of hebrews
00:02:40.944 --> 00:02:41.945
Whenever the author of hebrews is talking about gideon,
00:02:42.011 --> 00:02:43.413
Is talking about gideon, and barak, and samson,
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.815
And barak, and samson, he's talking about a time
00:02:45.882 --> 00:02:46.883
He's talking about a time in which the entire
00:02:46.950 --> 00:02:48.184
In which the entire nation of israel was living
00:02:48.251 --> 00:02:49.852
Nation of israel was living in a vicious cycle.
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.387
In a vicious cycle. say it this way,
00:02:51.454 --> 00:02:52.488
Say it this way, they were continually
00:02:52.555 --> 00:02:53.756
They were continually walking around digging a rut.
00:02:53.823 --> 00:02:57.327
Walking around digging a rut. when we meet gideon,
00:02:57.393 --> 00:02:58.294
When we meet gideon, for example,
00:02:58.361 --> 00:03:00.296
For example, gideon is not a warrior
00:03:00.363 --> 00:03:01.497
Gideon is not a warrior and gideon is not a winner,
00:03:01.564 --> 00:03:03.099
And gideon is not a winner, gideon is a whiner.
00:03:03.166 --> 00:03:06.102
Gideon is a whiner. he's an absolute whiner.
00:03:06.169 --> 00:03:07.937
He's an absolute whiner. the angel of the lord comes
00:03:08.004 --> 00:03:09.105
The angel of the lord comes to him and he's threshing wheat
00:03:09.172 --> 00:03:12.008
To him and he's threshing wheat in a winepress.
00:03:12.075 --> 00:03:13.843
In a winepress. you do not need a phd
00:03:13.910 --> 00:03:15.011
You do not need a phd in agriculture to know
00:03:15.078 --> 00:03:16.079
In agriculture to know he's doing the wrong thing
00:03:16.145 --> 00:03:17.380
He's doing the wrong thing with the wrong equipment.
00:03:17.447 --> 00:03:19.716
With the wrong equipment. but the reason he's threshing
00:03:19.782 --> 00:03:20.817
But the reason he's threshing wheat in a winepress is because
00:03:20.883 --> 00:03:22.752
Wheat in a winepress is because he doesn't want his enemies
00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:23.886
He doesn't want his enemies to see that he has food
00:03:23.953 --> 00:03:25.955
To see that he has food because they're gonna come
00:03:26.022 --> 00:03:26.856
Because they're gonna come and steal the food.
00:03:26.923 --> 00:03:28.424
And steal the food. and when the angel of the lord
00:03:28.491 --> 00:03:29.392
And when the angel of the lord comes to see him
00:03:29.459 --> 00:03:30.193
Comes to see him in the book of judges,
00:03:30.260 --> 00:03:31.427
In the book of judges, the first thing that
00:03:31.494 --> 00:03:32.061
The first thing that the angel of the lord says
00:03:32.128 --> 00:03:33.162
The angel of the lord says to him is rather humorous
00:03:33.229 --> 00:03:34.530
To him is rather humorous because what he says is,
00:03:34.597 --> 00:03:36.165
Because what he says is, "behold mighty man of valor."
00:03:36.232 --> 00:03:40.670
"behold mighty man of valor." the angel doesn't show up
00:03:40.737 --> 00:03:41.604
The angel doesn't show up and say, "hey, wimp.
00:03:41.671 --> 00:03:42.238
And say, "hey, wimp. what are you doing
00:03:42.305 --> 00:03:42.972
What are you doing in the winepress?"
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:43.840
[laughter]
00:03:44.274 --> 00:03:45.208
And rather than consider
00:03:47.076 --> 00:03:48.711
And rather than consider the encounter that he's having
00:03:48.778 --> 00:03:49.879
The encounter that he's having with a celestial being sent
00:03:49.946 --> 00:03:51.381
With a celestial being sent from heaven with a message,
00:03:51.447 --> 00:03:52.849
From heaven with a message, do you know what gideon does
00:03:52.915 --> 00:03:54.317
Do you know what gideon does whenever the presence of god
00:03:54.384 --> 00:03:55.852
Whenever the presence of god is standing in front of him?
00:03:55.918 --> 00:03:58.121
Is standing in front of him? he starts whining.
00:03:58.187 --> 00:04:00.990
He starts whining. the angel says,
00:04:01.057 --> 00:04:01.791
The angel says, "behold, the lord is with you."
00:04:01.858 --> 00:04:05.328
"behold, the lord is with you." and rather than
00:04:05.395 --> 00:04:06.095
And rather than shout hallelujah, he says,
00:04:06.162 --> 00:04:08.431
Shout hallelujah, he says, "well, if god is with me,
00:04:08.498 --> 00:04:10.066
"well, if god is with me, why am i in this circumstance?"
00:04:10.133 --> 00:04:16.439
Why am i in this circumstance?" and before we pick up the rocks
00:04:16.506 --> 00:04:18.408
And before we pick up the rocks and start throwing them
00:04:18.474 --> 00:04:19.375
And start throwing them at gideon for being a whiner,
00:04:19.442 --> 00:04:20.877
At gideon for being a whiner, how many of god's kids
00:04:20.943 --> 00:04:22.145
How many of god's kids come to god's house
00:04:22.211 --> 00:04:23.279
Come to god's house on the lord's day,
00:04:23.346 --> 00:04:24.147
On the lord's day, and the presence of the lord
00:04:24.213 --> 00:04:25.515
And the presence of the lord fills the sanctuary,
00:04:25.581 --> 00:04:26.783
Fills the sanctuary, and the holy spirit
00:04:26.849 --> 00:04:28.084
And the holy spirit whispers into your soul.
00:04:28.151 --> 00:04:29.352
Whispers into your soul. it doesn't matter
00:04:29.419 --> 00:04:30.119
It doesn't matter what you're going through,
00:04:30.186 --> 00:04:31.154
What you're going through, god is with you.
00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:32.455
God is with you. god knows you.
00:04:32.522 --> 00:04:33.956
God knows you. god's here for you.
00:04:34.023 --> 00:04:35.058
[applause]
00:04:35.358 --> 00:04:40.363
And rather than shout
00:04:40.697 --> 00:04:41.297
And rather than shout hallelujah, we say,
00:04:41.364 --> 00:04:42.332
Hallelujah, we say, "well, if he's with me,
00:04:42.398 --> 00:04:43.633
"well, if he's with me, why am i still struggling?"
00:04:43.700 --> 00:04:47.637
Why am i still struggling?" i'll tell you why,
00:04:47.704 --> 00:04:48.371
I'll tell you why, because struggle is
00:04:48.438 --> 00:04:49.639
Because struggle is a part of life.
00:04:49.706 --> 00:04:52.008
A part of life. adversity is something
00:04:52.075 --> 00:04:53.509
Adversity is something that is common to everybody
00:04:53.576 --> 00:04:55.078
That is common to everybody who draws a breath.
00:04:55.144 --> 00:04:56.179
Who draws a breath. job said, "as sure as sparks
00:04:56.245 --> 00:04:57.847
Job said, "as sure as sparks fly up from a fire,
00:04:57.914 --> 00:04:59.482
Fly up from a fire, so is a man born to trouble."
00:04:59.549 --> 00:05:01.417
So is a man born to trouble." stop looking at adversity
00:05:01.484 --> 00:05:03.086
Stop looking at adversity as something that is against you
00:05:03.152 --> 00:05:05.054
As something that is against you and start looking as
00:05:05.121 --> 00:05:06.222
And start looking as an opportunity that god has
00:05:06.289 --> 00:05:07.657
An opportunity that god has given you to give you
00:05:07.724 --> 00:05:08.858
Given you to give you the strength that you need
00:05:08.925 --> 00:05:09.859
The strength that you need to be more than the conqueror
00:05:09.926 --> 00:05:11.294
To be more than the conqueror he created you to be.
00:05:11.361 --> 00:05:12.195
[applause]
00:05:12.528 --> 00:05:17.967
Only after several
00:05:18.501 --> 00:05:19.335
Only after several conversations does gideon
00:05:19.402 --> 00:05:20.703
Conversations does gideon start to believe that
00:05:20.770 --> 00:05:21.637
Start to believe that there's something greater in him
00:05:21.704 --> 00:05:23.873
There's something greater in him than what he's currently
00:05:23.940 --> 00:05:24.841
Than what he's currently living through.
00:05:24.907 --> 00:05:25.608
Living through. and when he puts his faith
00:05:25.675 --> 00:05:26.843
And when he puts his faith in a god who cannot fail,
00:05:26.909 --> 00:05:28.511
In a god who cannot fail, gideon goes from a whiner into
00:05:28.578 --> 00:05:30.446
Gideon goes from a whiner into a warrior who faces adversity.
00:05:30.513 --> 00:05:32.482
A warrior who faces adversity. and today, he's listed
00:05:32.548 --> 00:05:33.683
And today, he's listed on the hall of fame
00:05:33.750 --> 00:05:35.251
On the hall of fame because he went from
00:05:35.318 --> 00:05:36.085
Because he went from a warrior to a winner.
00:05:36.152 --> 00:05:38.788
A warrior to a winner. whenever you give god
00:05:38.855 --> 00:05:39.789
Whenever you give god the opportunity to prove
00:05:39.856 --> 00:05:41.023
The opportunity to prove himself to you,
00:05:41.090 --> 00:05:42.024
Himself to you, you need to know,
00:05:42.091 --> 00:05:42.992
You need to know, god will not fail you.
00:05:43.059 --> 00:05:46.896
God will not fail you. all he's looking for are those
00:05:46.963 --> 00:05:48.798
All he's looking for are those who are courageous enough to be
00:05:48.865 --> 00:05:50.600
Who are courageous enough to be the mindset of a warrior.
00:05:50.666 --> 00:05:52.435
The mindset of a warrior. to say, "if there's adversity,
00:05:52.502 --> 00:05:53.870
To say, "if there's adversity, i'll face it.
00:05:53.936 --> 00:05:54.804
I'll face it. if there's a problem,
00:05:54.871 --> 00:05:55.705
If there's a problem, here am i.
00:05:55.772 --> 00:05:56.539
Here am i. send me."
00:05:56.606 --> 00:05:57.507
Send me." because if god is with you,
00:05:57.573 --> 00:05:59.275
Because if god is with you, nothing can stand against you
00:05:59.342 --> 00:06:01.244
Nothing can stand against you and you cannot be defeated.
00:06:01.310 --> 00:06:03.045
[applause]
00:06:03.379 --> 00:06:08.584
So, how did this
00:06:09.085 --> 00:06:09.619
So, how did this generation of israel
00:06:09.685 --> 00:06:10.787
Generation of israel get into this rut?
00:06:10.853 --> 00:06:13.589
Get into this rut? in judges 2:10, we gain some
00:06:13.656 --> 00:06:16.893
In judges 2:10, we gain some insight because in judges 2:10,
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.262
Insight because in judges 2:10, it tells us that now that
00:06:19.328 --> 00:06:20.530
It tells us that now that this generation had been
00:06:20.596 --> 00:06:21.998
This generation had been gathered to their fathers,
00:06:22.064 --> 00:06:23.766
Gathered to their fathers, what generation
00:06:23.833 --> 00:06:24.400
What generation is he speaking of?
00:06:24.467 --> 00:06:25.301
Is he speaking of? he's talking about
00:06:25.368 --> 00:06:25.935
He's talking about the generation
00:06:26.002 --> 00:06:26.702
The generation of joshua and caleb.
00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:27.870
Of joshua and caleb. those who walked out of egypt
00:06:27.937 --> 00:06:29.972
Those who walked out of egypt and through the wilderness.
00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:31.207
And through the wilderness. those who wondered in
00:06:31.274 --> 00:06:32.608
Those who wondered in the wilderness and then came
00:06:32.675 --> 00:06:33.976
The wilderness and then came to the jordan and saw
00:06:34.043 --> 00:06:35.211
To the jordan and saw the walls of jericho fall.
00:06:35.278 --> 00:06:36.646
The walls of jericho fall. when that generation
00:06:36.712 --> 00:06:37.814
When that generation had passed away,
00:06:37.880 --> 00:06:39.816
Had passed away, the bible says there was
00:06:39.882 --> 00:06:40.683
The bible says there was another generation that came
00:06:40.750 --> 00:06:42.785
Another generation that came after them that did not know
00:06:42.852 --> 00:06:44.554
After them that did not know the lord nor the work which
00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:46.756
The lord nor the work which he had done for israel.
00:06:46.823 --> 00:06:49.125
He had done for israel. the problem was,
00:06:49.192 --> 00:06:50.393
The problem was, the next generation that came
00:06:50.460 --> 00:06:51.861
The next generation that came after joshua and caleb,
00:06:51.928 --> 00:06:53.729
After joshua and caleb, they stopped living
00:06:53.796 --> 00:06:54.831
They stopped living as if god existed.
00:06:54.897 --> 00:06:57.467
As if god existed. how much of this same behavior
00:06:57.533 --> 00:06:58.768
How much of this same behavior do you see in the world
00:06:58.835 --> 00:06:59.735
Do you see in the world we live in today?
00:06:59.802 --> 00:07:01.471
We live in today? we live in a land
00:07:01.537 --> 00:07:02.438
We live in a land that is blessed by god.
00:07:02.505 --> 00:07:04.373
That is blessed by god. there's evidence of it
00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:05.775
There's evidence of it in every chapter of our history,
00:07:05.842 --> 00:07:07.610
In every chapter of our history, in every breath that we breathe.
00:07:07.677 --> 00:07:09.512
In every breath that we breathe. and yet, rather than recognize
00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:11.047
And yet, rather than recognize where our blessings come from,
00:07:11.113 --> 00:07:12.682
Where our blessings come from, we choose to pretend
00:07:12.748 --> 00:07:13.983
We choose to pretend as if god doesn't exist.
00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:17.286
As if god doesn't exist. we've forgotten that he is
00:07:17.353 --> 00:07:18.287
We've forgotten that he is the source of every good
00:07:18.354 --> 00:07:19.388
The source of every good and perfect gift.
00:07:19.455 --> 00:07:20.356
And perfect gift. everything great and small,
00:07:20.423 --> 00:07:22.825
Everything great and small, god gave you.
00:07:22.892 --> 00:07:25.161
God gave you. today, the food that
00:07:25.228 --> 00:07:26.362
Today, the food that you're going to eat at lunch,
00:07:26.429 --> 00:07:27.396
You're going to eat at lunch, god created that all
00:07:27.463 --> 00:07:28.798
God created that all the way back in
00:07:28.865 --> 00:07:29.665
The way back in the genesis when he said,
00:07:29.732 --> 00:07:30.700
The genesis when he said, "every seed bearing plant
00:07:30.766 --> 00:07:32.435
"every seed bearing plant give forth its fruit."
00:07:32.502 --> 00:07:33.536
Give forth its fruit." god was thinking about you then
00:07:33.603 --> 00:07:35.738
God was thinking about you then and he was planning
00:07:35.805 --> 00:07:36.739
And he was planning your lunch now.
00:07:36.806 --> 00:07:39.475
Your lunch now. the strength that you have
00:07:39.542 --> 00:07:40.643
The strength that you have to be in this service today,
00:07:40.710 --> 00:07:42.612
To be in this service today, god gave it to you because
00:07:42.678 --> 00:07:43.946
God gave it to you because the bible tells us
00:07:44.013 --> 00:07:44.947
The bible tells us in him we live, and move,
00:07:45.014 --> 00:07:46.215
In him we live, and move, and have our being.
00:07:46.282 --> 00:07:47.183
And have our being. the roof that's over your head,
00:07:47.250 --> 00:07:48.718
The roof that's over your head, the roof that you sleep
00:07:48.784 --> 00:07:49.952
The roof that you sleep under at night,
00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:50.786
Under at night, where did that roof come from?
00:07:50.853 --> 00:07:52.388
Where did that roof come from? it came from the trees.
00:07:52.455 --> 00:07:53.489
It came from the trees. who created the trees?
00:07:53.556 --> 00:07:54.524
Who created the trees? god.
00:07:54.590 --> 00:07:55.258
God. how did that tree get to grow?
00:07:55.324 --> 00:07:56.759
How did that tree get to grow? god saw it, he watched it,
00:07:56.826 --> 00:07:58.461
God saw it, he watched it, it grew, he cut it down,
00:07:58.528 --> 00:07:59.795
It grew, he cut it down, he brought it to your house,
00:07:59.862 --> 00:08:01.030
He brought it to your house, and he allowed you
00:08:01.097 --> 00:08:01.664
And he allowed you to sleep under it.
00:08:01.731 --> 00:08:02.965
[applause]
00:08:03.366 --> 00:08:07.036
You cannot escape
00:08:07.403 --> 00:08:08.571
You cannot escape the goodness of god,
00:08:08.638 --> 00:08:09.872
The goodness of god, all you have to do
00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:11.040
All you have to do is look for it,
00:08:11.107 --> 00:08:12.575
Is look for it, and when you find it,
00:08:12.642 --> 00:08:13.476
And when you find it, give him the praise
00:08:13.543 --> 00:08:14.644
Give him the praise and the glory and the honor
00:08:14.710 --> 00:08:16.078
And the glory and the honor that he is worthy of.
00:08:16.145 --> 00:08:17.547
[applause]
00:08:17.847 --> 00:08:22.084
During the time of the judges,
00:08:23.486 --> 00:08:24.921
During the time of the judges, there was political chaos.
00:08:24.987 --> 00:08:27.223
There was political chaos. they were walking around
00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:28.057
They were walking around digging a rut,
00:08:28.124 --> 00:08:28.991
Digging a rut, serving false gods,
00:08:29.058 --> 00:08:31.093
Serving false gods, not living in
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:31.761
Not living in the blessings of god.
00:08:31.827 --> 00:08:33.029
The blessings of god. and as life got worse
00:08:33.095 --> 00:08:33.996
And as life got worse and worse and worse,
00:08:34.063 --> 00:08:35.231
And worse and worse, the people would cry out to god,
00:08:35.298 --> 00:08:36.899
The people would cry out to god, god would raise up a leader,
00:08:36.966 --> 00:08:38.868
God would raise up a leader, and that leader, he didn't
00:08:38.935 --> 00:08:40.536
And that leader, he didn't solve the problem.
00:08:40.603 --> 00:08:41.837
Solve the problem. you know what that leader did?
00:08:41.904 --> 00:08:42.838
You know what that leader did? he brought them closer to god.
00:08:42.905 --> 00:08:45.841
He brought them closer to god. god is the problem solver,
00:08:45.908 --> 00:08:48.611
God is the problem solver, not man.
00:08:48.678 --> 00:08:50.646
Not man. and what happened when that
00:08:50.713 --> 00:08:51.414
And what happened when that leader had brought them
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:52.782
Leader had brought them closer to god?
00:08:52.848 --> 00:08:53.549
Closer to god? god solved the problem,
00:08:53.616 --> 00:08:54.717
God solved the problem, the people went
00:08:54.784 --> 00:08:55.451
The people went right back into the rut.
00:08:55.518 --> 00:08:57.887
Right back into the rut. they started serving false gods.
00:08:57.954 --> 00:09:00.656
They started serving false gods. how often have we seen this
00:09:00.723 --> 00:09:01.857
How often have we seen this pattern in our world today?
00:09:01.924 --> 00:09:03.225
Pattern in our world today? things get worse
00:09:03.292 --> 00:09:04.393
Things get worse and worse and worse,
00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:05.428
And worse and worse, people get frustrated
00:09:05.494 --> 00:09:06.696
People get frustrated and fed up,
00:09:06.762 --> 00:09:07.697
And fed up, they start crying out to god,
00:09:07.763 --> 00:09:08.831
They start crying out to god, they call for fasting
00:09:08.898 --> 00:09:09.932
They call for fasting and prayer and consecration,
00:09:09.999 --> 00:09:11.367
And prayer and consecration, god raises up a leader,
00:09:11.434 --> 00:09:13.035
God raises up a leader, the people get closer to god,
00:09:13.102 --> 00:09:14.103
The people get closer to god, things start to get good,
00:09:14.170 --> 00:09:15.738
Things start to get good, and where do we go?
00:09:15.805 --> 00:09:16.439
And where do we go? right back into the rut.
00:09:16.505 --> 00:09:19.475
Right back into the rut. why?
00:09:19.542 --> 00:09:21.310
Why? because we've forgotten
00:09:21.377 --> 00:09:22.244
Because we've forgotten the goodness of god
00:09:22.311 --> 00:09:23.446
The goodness of god in our lives.
00:09:23.512 --> 00:09:25.314
In our lives. we need to understand that
00:09:25.381 --> 00:09:26.616
We need to understand that god is the same yesterday,
00:09:26.682 --> 00:09:28.751
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:09:28.818 --> 00:09:30.586
Today, and forever. our answer does not come from
00:09:30.653 --> 00:09:32.521
Our answer does not come from a policy that is written
00:09:32.588 --> 00:09:33.656
A policy that is written in a government,
00:09:33.723 --> 00:09:34.590
In a government, our answer does not come
00:09:34.657 --> 00:09:36.158
Our answer does not come from a candidate that is on
00:09:36.225 --> 00:09:37.326
From a candidate that is on a ticket for election.
00:09:37.393 --> 00:09:38.694
A ticket for election. our answer is the same answer
00:09:38.761 --> 00:09:40.663
Our answer is the same answer that has been from the beginning
00:09:40.730 --> 00:09:42.098
That has been from the beginning of time and will be
00:09:42.164 --> 00:09:43.032
Of time and will be all the way to the end.
00:09:43.099 --> 00:09:44.333
All the way to the end. he is the alpha
00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:45.401
He is the alpha and he is the omega.
00:09:45.468 --> 00:09:46.836
And he is the omega. he is the first
00:09:46.902 --> 00:09:47.803
He is the first and he is the last.
00:09:47.870 --> 00:09:49.071
And he is the last. he is the king above kings
00:09:49.138 --> 00:09:50.873
He is the king above kings and the lord above lords.
00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:52.174
And the lord above lords. he sits upon the throne
00:09:52.241 --> 00:09:53.743
He sits upon the throne and he is great and greatly
00:09:53.809 --> 00:09:55.177
And he is great and greatly to be praised.
00:09:55.244 --> 00:09:56.112
To be praised. king jesus is his name.
00:09:56.178 --> 00:09:58.381
[cheering and applause]
00:09:58.714 --> 00:10:04.754
What was it with this generation
00:10:05.621 --> 00:10:07.423
What was it with this generation that they decided god
00:10:07.490 --> 00:10:08.691
That they decided god didn't exist?
00:10:08.758 --> 00:10:09.959
Didn't exist? the answer,
00:10:10.026 --> 00:10:10.593
The answer, they didn't have the same
00:10:10.660 --> 00:10:11.927
They didn't have the same struggle that their parents
00:10:11.994 --> 00:10:13.362
Struggle that their parents and their grandparents did.
00:10:13.429 --> 00:10:16.599
And their grandparents did. they had it too good.
00:10:16.666 --> 00:10:20.069
They had it too good. they didn't have to walk around
00:10:20.136 --> 00:10:21.437
They didn't have to walk around in circles in the wilderness,
00:10:21.504 --> 00:10:22.571
In circles in the wilderness, they got to sleep in homes
00:10:22.638 --> 00:10:23.939
They got to sleep in homes in the promised land.
00:10:24.006 --> 00:10:25.207
In the promised land. and when they had
00:10:25.274 --> 00:10:25.775
And when they had it comfortable,
00:10:25.841 --> 00:10:26.742
It comfortable, then they got complacent
00:10:26.809 --> 00:10:28.210
Then they got complacent in how they got
00:10:28.277 --> 00:10:29.311
In how they got to where they are.
00:10:29.378 --> 00:10:31.747
To where they are. what do we see happening
00:10:31.814 --> 00:10:32.682
What do we see happening in this world today?
00:10:32.748 --> 00:10:33.616
In this world today? we see a significant
00:10:33.683 --> 00:10:34.984
We see a significant generational shift,
00:10:35.051 --> 00:10:36.585
Generational shift, and we see the better
00:10:36.652 --> 00:10:37.586
And we see the better we have it,
00:10:37.653 --> 00:10:38.354
We have it, the softer we get,
00:10:38.421 --> 00:10:39.622
The softer we get, and the softer we get,
00:10:39.689 --> 00:10:40.589
And the softer we get, the worse things are.
00:10:40.656 --> 00:10:46.429
The worse things are. we live in a world
00:10:46.495 --> 00:10:47.129
We live in a world that is in a rut.
00:10:47.196 --> 00:10:49.865
That is in a rut. we use blame and accusation
00:10:49.932 --> 00:10:51.801
We use blame and accusation as the reasons for
00:10:51.867 --> 00:10:52.902
As the reasons for a lack of success.
00:10:52.968 --> 00:10:55.171
A lack of success. what you need to understand
00:10:55.237 --> 00:10:56.272
What you need to understand is that nothing in your life
00:10:56.338 --> 00:10:57.740
Is that nothing in your life will be successful until you
00:10:57.807 --> 00:10:58.941
Will be successful until you take responsibility for who
00:10:59.008 --> 00:11:00.643
Take responsibility for who you are and what you do.

By 16, i was lost, spiraling.
00:11:08.751 --> 00:11:11.721
And then i found out
00:11:12.154 --> 00:11:13.789
I was pregnant.
00:11:13.789 --> 00:11:15.291
I searched online for help.
00:11:15.291 --> 00:11:17.293

00:11:18.194 --> 00:11:19.662
The moment i arrived,
00:11:19.662 --> 00:11:21.330
I felt peace.
00:11:21.330 --> 00:11:23.032
Real peace.
00:11:23.032 --> 00:11:24.433
For the first time in my life.
00:11:24.433 --> 00:11:26.769

And my baby's life changed.

[applause]
00:12:01.871 --> 00:12:04.640
We live in a world where
00:12:05.141 --> 00:12:05.875
We live in a world where comparison has become
00:12:05.941 --> 00:12:07.676
Comparison has become the reason why we're withheld
00:12:07.743 --> 00:12:09.745
The reason why we're withheld from the opportunities
00:12:09.812 --> 00:12:11.013
From the opportunities that we should have.
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:12.915
That we should have. "well, they had it
00:12:12.982 --> 00:12:13.415
"well, they had it better than me.
00:12:13.482 --> 00:12:13.949
Better than me. they got the break,
00:12:14.016 --> 00:12:15.284
They got the break, they got the opportunity.
00:12:15.351 --> 00:12:16.252
They got the opportunity. i did not."
00:12:16.318 --> 00:12:17.987
I did not." that's a lie.
00:12:18.053 --> 00:12:20.589
That's a lie. everyone in this world is
00:12:20.656 --> 00:12:22.625
Everyone in this world is equally loved and equally valued
00:12:22.691 --> 00:12:24.527
Equally loved and equally valued by a god who created you.
00:12:24.593 --> 00:12:27.463
By a god who created you. you may not start
00:12:27.530 --> 00:12:28.164
You may not start at the same place
00:12:28.230 --> 00:12:29.331
At the same place that somebody else did,
00:12:29.398 --> 00:12:30.900
That somebody else did, but if god is with you
00:12:30.966 --> 00:12:32.434
But if god is with you and his resurrection power
00:12:32.501 --> 00:12:34.003
And his resurrection power lives in you,
00:12:34.069 --> 00:12:34.804
Lives in you, there is nothing that
00:12:34.870 --> 00:12:35.971
There is nothing that you cannot accomplish
00:12:36.038 --> 00:12:37.239
You cannot accomplish in and through his strength.
00:12:37.306 --> 00:12:38.974
In and through his strength. stop worrying about
00:12:39.041 --> 00:12:40.342
Stop worrying about what somebody else got
00:12:40.409 --> 00:12:41.644
What somebody else got and start thanking god
00:12:41.710 --> 00:12:42.945
And start thanking god for what you have,
00:12:43.012 --> 00:12:43.979
For what you have, and use it, and see what
00:12:44.046 --> 00:12:45.481
And use it, and see what god will do with it.
00:12:45.548 --> 00:12:46.415
[applause]
00:12:46.715 --> 00:12:52.855
Whenever you turn away from god
00:12:54.223 --> 00:12:55.424
Whenever you turn away from god and lawlessness abounds,
00:12:55.491 --> 00:12:56.492
And lawlessness abounds, you dig a rut
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:57.326
You dig a rut of political chaos,
00:12:57.393 --> 00:12:58.561
Of political chaos, you dig a rut of social chaos,
00:12:58.627 --> 00:13:00.496
You dig a rut of social chaos, you dig a rut
00:13:00.563 --> 00:13:01.430
You dig a rut of spiritual chaos.
00:13:01.497 --> 00:13:04.266
Of spiritual chaos. the bible tells us that
00:13:04.333 --> 00:13:05.434
The bible tells us that righteousness exalts a nation,
00:13:05.501 --> 00:13:07.903
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach
00:13:07.970 --> 00:13:09.038
But sin is a reproach to any people.
00:13:09.104 --> 00:13:11.040
To any people. right now,
00:13:11.106 --> 00:13:11.740
Right now, what we're experiencing
00:13:11.807 --> 00:13:12.875
What we're experiencing in this nation at a volume
00:13:12.942 --> 00:13:14.977
In this nation at a volume like we've never heard it before
00:13:15.044 --> 00:13:16.846
Like we've never heard it before is a literal crossroads,
00:13:16.912 --> 00:13:18.347
Is a literal crossroads, very similar to what
00:13:18.414 --> 00:13:19.281
Very similar to what the judges were living in
00:13:19.348 --> 00:13:20.649
The judges were living in in the book of --
00:13:20.716 --> 00:13:22.084
In the book of -- in the time of israel.
00:13:22.151 --> 00:13:23.719
In the time of israel. right now, this united states
00:13:23.786 --> 00:13:25.287
Right now, this united states is at a crossroads.
00:13:25.354 --> 00:13:27.590
Is at a crossroads. a crossroads
00:13:27.656 --> 00:13:28.290
A crossroads of righteousness and wickedness.
00:13:28.357 --> 00:13:32.228
Of righteousness and wickedness. a crossroads of responsibility
00:13:32.294 --> 00:13:34.263
A crossroads of responsibility and lawlessness.
00:13:34.330 --> 00:13:36.365
And lawlessness. a crossroads
00:13:36.432 --> 00:13:37.132
A crossroads of truth and a lie,
00:13:37.199 --> 00:13:38.834
Of truth and a lie, light and darkness.
00:13:38.901 --> 00:13:43.405
Light and darkness. at the crossroads that we face,
00:13:43.472 --> 00:13:46.308
At the crossroads that we face, there's an ancient question
00:13:46.375 --> 00:13:47.710
There's an ancient question that has to be answered
00:13:47.776 --> 00:13:48.677
That has to be answered in our modern time.
00:13:48.744 --> 00:13:50.779
In our modern time. this was the question that moses
00:13:50.846 --> 00:13:52.281
This was the question that moses asked his generation when they
00:13:52.348 --> 00:13:54.216
Asked his generation when they were at a crossroads.
00:13:54.283 --> 00:13:56.418
Were at a crossroads. they were at mount sinai
00:13:56.485 --> 00:13:57.920
They were at mount sinai and 40,000 of them decided that
00:13:57.987 --> 00:14:00.089
And 40,000 of them decided that they were gonna start worshiping
00:14:00.155 --> 00:14:01.390
They were gonna start worshiping this new golden calf theology.
00:14:01.457 --> 00:14:05.694
This new golden calf theology. and when moses saw what was
00:14:05.761 --> 00:14:07.663
And when moses saw what was going on in israel,
00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:08.464
Going on in israel, he asked the question,
00:14:08.530 --> 00:14:09.965
He asked the question, "who is on the lord's side?"
00:14:10.032 --> 00:14:13.402
"who is on the lord's side?" and then, he gave them
00:14:13.469 --> 00:14:14.270
And then, he gave them a command, "come to me."
00:14:14.336 --> 00:14:17.172
A command, "come to me." you see, it's not enough
00:14:17.239 --> 00:14:18.040
You see, it's not enough to say you're on god's side,
00:14:18.107 --> 00:14:19.508
To say you're on god's side, you actually have to put
00:14:19.575 --> 00:14:20.576
You actually have to put actions with your beliefs.
00:14:20.643 --> 00:14:24.113
Actions with your beliefs. and whenever the lord saw those
00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:26.148
And whenever the lord saw those who chose him and came to moses,
00:14:26.215 --> 00:14:28.851
Who chose him and came to moses, he opened up a hole
00:14:28.918 --> 00:14:29.752
He opened up a hole in the ground and swallowed
00:14:29.818 --> 00:14:31.086
In the ground and swallowed everybody else in it.
00:14:31.153 --> 00:14:33.355
Everybody else in it. now, let me give you
00:14:33.422 --> 00:14:34.089
Now, let me give you your options,
00:14:34.156 --> 00:14:36.158
Your options, you come to god,
00:14:36.225 --> 00:14:38.928
You come to god, or you're dismissed.
00:14:38.994 --> 00:14:43.165
Or you're dismissed. that's the polite way
00:14:43.232 --> 00:14:44.033
That's the polite way to say buried alive.
00:14:44.099 --> 00:14:47.469
To say buried alive. given those two,
00:14:47.536 --> 00:14:48.137
Given those two, which one of you say,
00:14:48.203 --> 00:14:48.971
Which one of you say, "i'm on the lord's side?"
00:14:49.038 --> 00:14:51.640
"i'm on the lord's side?" i can hear the holy spirit
00:14:51.707 --> 00:14:53.242
I can hear the holy spirit echoing through the generations,
00:14:53.309 --> 00:14:55.010
Echoing through the generations, "who is on the lord's side?
00:14:55.077 --> 00:14:57.379
"who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?
00:14:57.446 --> 00:14:59.648
Who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?"
00:14:59.715 --> 00:15:01.383
Who is on the lord's side?" he doesn't want
00:15:01.450 --> 00:15:02.318
He doesn't want to hear your amen,
00:15:02.384 --> 00:15:03.585
To hear your amen, he wants to see you put
00:15:03.652 --> 00:15:04.920
He wants to see you put action to your faith and start
00:15:04.987 --> 00:15:06.855
Action to your faith and start to behave like you believe.
00:15:06.922 --> 00:15:08.324
To behave like you believe. father, if you're on
00:15:08.390 --> 00:15:09.758
Father, if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:09.825 --> 00:15:10.693
The lord's side, when you go home, train up
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.494
When you go home, train up your children in the fear
00:15:12.561 --> 00:15:13.796
Your children in the fear and the admonition of god.
00:15:13.862 --> 00:15:15.364
And the admonition of god. teach them that what is in this
00:15:15.431 --> 00:15:16.865
Teach them that what is in this book is not free advice
00:15:16.932 --> 00:15:18.968
Book is not free advice that they might try,
00:15:19.034 --> 00:15:20.202
That they might try, but this is the truth
00:15:20.269 --> 00:15:21.437
But this is the truth that will set them free.
00:15:21.503 --> 00:15:22.638
That will set them free. mother, if you're on
00:15:22.705 --> 00:15:23.739

Give your children a living example of what
00:15:25.507 --> 00:15:26.842
A living example of what it means to give god credit,
00:15:26.909 --> 00:15:28.978
It means to give god credit, and glory, and honor for
00:15:29.044 --> 00:15:30.446
And glory, and honor for everything that you have.
00:15:30.512 --> 00:15:31.747
Everything that you have. young person, if you're on
00:15:31.814 --> 00:15:33.182
Young person, if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:33.248 --> 00:15:34.116
The lord's side, don't let this world
00:15:34.183 --> 00:15:35.351
Don't let this world define your morality.
00:15:35.417 --> 00:15:37.019
Define your morality. understand that you are not
00:15:37.086 --> 00:15:38.454
Understand that you are not who they say you are,
00:15:38.520 --> 00:15:39.655
Who they say you are, you are who god
00:15:39.722 --> 00:15:40.589
You are who god created you to be.
00:15:40.656 --> 00:15:41.824
Created you to be. pastor, if you're on

The lord's side, don't preach what
00:15:44.126 --> 00:15:44.994
Don't preach what makes them comfortable,
00:15:45.060 --> 00:15:46.095
Makes them comfortable, don't say what makes 'em happy,
00:15:46.161 --> 00:15:48.063
Don't say what makes 'em happy, preach the word in season
00:15:48.130 --> 00:15:49.965
Preach the word in season and out of season.
00:15:50.032 --> 00:15:51.200
And out of season. preach it without shame.
00:15:51.266 --> 00:15:52.835
Preach it without shame. preach it because it
00:15:52.901 --> 00:15:53.969
Preach it because it is the only thing
00:15:54.036 --> 00:15:54.737
Is the only thing that brings the glory of god
00:15:54.803 --> 00:15:56.338
That brings the glory of god and his power into the lives
00:15:56.405 --> 00:15:57.906
And his power into the lives of those who hear it.
00:15:57.973 --> 00:15:59.141
Of those who hear it. if you're on the lord's side,
00:15:59.208 --> 00:16:00.776
If you're on the lord's side, let god arise and his enemies
00:16:00.843 --> 00:16:02.845
Let god arise and his enemies be scattered.
00:16:02.911 --> 00:16:03.779
[cheering and applause]
00:16:04.013 --> 00:16:10.085
The way that you dig yourself
00:16:10.586 --> 00:16:11.820
The way that you dig yourself out of a rut is you turn to god.
00:16:11.887 --> 00:16:17.026
Out of a rut is you turn to god. this is what the psalmist said
00:16:17.092 --> 00:16:18.093
This is what the psalmist said in psalm 40:2.
00:16:18.160 --> 00:16:19.995

Out of a horrible pit, out of a miry clay,
00:16:24.767 --> 00:16:26.068
Out of a miry clay, and he set my feet on a rock.
00:16:26.135 --> 00:16:30.706
And he set my feet on a rock. if there was ever a beautiful
00:16:30.773 --> 00:16:31.540
If there was ever a beautiful verse about the testimony
00:16:31.607 --> 00:16:32.908
Verse about the testimony of those who put their
00:16:32.975 --> 00:16:33.876
Of those who put their faith in god, there it is.
00:16:33.942 --> 00:16:35.411
Faith in god, there it is. he brought me out
00:16:35.477 --> 00:16:37.413
He brought me out of a miry clay.
00:16:37.479 --> 00:16:39.348
Of a miry clay. i don't care who you are
00:16:39.415 --> 00:16:40.549
I don't care who you are and what you've been through,
00:16:40.616 --> 00:16:41.784
And what you've been through, your life without christ
00:16:41.850 --> 00:16:43.252
Your life without christ was a miry clay.
00:16:43.318 --> 00:16:45.287
Was a miry clay. you were dead in quicksand
00:16:45.354 --> 00:16:47.156
You were dead in quicksand whether you knew it or not.
00:16:47.222 --> 00:16:48.624
Whether you knew it or not. but the second that
00:16:48.690 --> 00:16:49.425
But the second that you called upon him,
00:16:49.491 --> 00:16:51.126
You called upon him, he reached down to the lowest
00:16:51.193 --> 00:16:52.428
He reached down to the lowest depths of where you were
00:16:52.494 --> 00:16:53.762
Depths of where you were and he picked you up
00:16:53.829 --> 00:16:55.230
And he picked you up and he brought you out.
00:16:55.297 --> 00:16:56.598
And he brought you out. and when he brought you out,
00:16:56.665 --> 00:16:58.033
And when he brought you out, he didn't abandon you,
00:16:58.100 --> 00:16:59.535
He didn't abandon you, he established you.
00:16:59.601 --> 00:17:01.170
He established you. he set you on the rock of ages.
00:17:01.236 --> 00:17:03.372
He set you on the rock of ages. he set you on a truth
00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:04.807
He set you on a truth and a foundation that
00:17:04.873 --> 00:17:05.774
And a foundation that no matter what storm comes,
00:17:05.841 --> 00:17:07.543
No matter what storm comes, you will endure because
00:17:07.609 --> 00:17:09.244
You will endure because you have built your house
00:17:09.311 --> 00:17:10.546
You have built your house on the solid rock
00:17:10.612 --> 00:17:11.613
On the solid rock who is jesus christ.
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.148
Who is jesus christ. is there anybody in this
00:17:13.215 --> 00:17:14.650
Is there anybody in this sanctuary that says,
00:17:14.716 --> 00:17:15.951
Sanctuary that says, "where i was when he found me
00:17:16.018 --> 00:17:17.886
"where i was when he found me was a horrible pit,
00:17:17.953 --> 00:17:19.121
Was a horrible pit, but he reached down,
00:17:19.188 --> 00:17:20.456
But he reached down, and he brought me out,
00:17:20.522 --> 00:17:21.990
And he brought me out, and he set me on
00:17:22.057 --> 00:17:23.692
And he set me on the rock of his truth,
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:25.027
The rock of his truth, he set me on the promise
00:17:25.094 --> 00:17:26.695
He set me on the promise of his provision.
00:17:26.762 --> 00:17:27.763
Of his provision. he brought my marriage
00:17:27.830 --> 00:17:29.031
He brought my marriage out of a horrible pit,
00:17:29.098 --> 00:17:30.632
Out of a horrible pit, and we're here today because
00:17:30.699 --> 00:17:32.334
And we're here today because god is on our side.
00:17:32.401 --> 00:17:33.569
God is on our side. he brought my business
00:17:33.635 --> 00:17:34.837
He brought my business out of a miry clay
00:17:34.903 --> 00:17:36.472
Out of a miry clay and i'm blessed today
00:17:36.538 --> 00:17:37.606
And i'm blessed today because he's my provider.
00:17:37.673 --> 00:17:39.141
Because he's my provider. when the doctor diagnosed me,
00:17:39.208 --> 00:17:40.709
When the doctor diagnosed me, he reached down
00:17:40.776 --> 00:17:41.710
He reached down and he caught me,
00:17:41.777 --> 00:17:42.811
And he caught me, and he said,
00:17:42.878 --> 00:17:43.212
And he said, "i am the great physician
00:17:43.278 --> 00:17:44.680
"i am the great physician by whose stripes
00:17:44.746 --> 00:17:45.681
By whose stripes you are healed."
00:17:45.747 --> 00:17:46.782
You are healed." there isn't anybody
00:17:46.849 --> 00:17:47.883
There isn't anybody in this room that you are
00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:49.251
In this room that you are where you are today without
00:17:49.318 --> 00:17:50.919
Where you are today without god reaching down,
00:17:50.986 --> 00:17:52.221
God reaching down, and pulling you out,
00:17:52.287 --> 00:17:53.288
And pulling you out, and bringing you where you are,
00:17:53.355 --> 00:17:55.190
And bringing you where you are, so give god all the glory
00:17:55.257 --> 00:17:57.559
So give god all the glory and all of the praise.
00:17:57.626 --> 00:17:58.727
[cheering and applause]
00:17:58.994 --> 00:18:06.935
The difference
00:18:08.036 --> 00:18:08.470
The difference between the warrior,
00:18:08.537 --> 00:18:09.438
Between the warrior, the whiner, the winner,
00:18:09.505 --> 00:18:10.739
The whiner, the winner, and the wimp is not
00:18:10.806 --> 00:18:12.774
And the wimp is not the adversity,
00:18:12.841 --> 00:18:14.643
The adversity, it's not the struggle,
00:18:14.710 --> 00:18:16.945
It's not the struggle, it's the choice that
00:18:17.012 --> 00:18:18.147
It's the choice that the individual makes.
00:18:18.213 --> 00:18:21.083
The individual makes. the whiner complains
00:18:21.150 --> 00:18:23.285
The whiner complains about the problem,
00:18:23.352 --> 00:18:25.320
About the problem, the wimp ignores the problem,
00:18:25.387 --> 00:18:28.357
The wimp ignores the problem, the warrior faces the problem,
00:18:28.423 --> 00:18:31.660
The warrior faces the problem, and the winner fights
00:18:31.727 --> 00:18:33.195
And the winner fights in god's strength.
00:18:33.262 --> 00:18:35.931
In god's strength. every one of you have a choice
00:18:35.998 --> 00:18:37.299
Every one of you have a choice to make and the choice you
00:18:37.366 --> 00:18:38.600
To make and the choice you make defines who you are.
00:18:38.667 --> 00:18:41.803
Make defines who you are. choose to be a warrior.
00:18:41.870 --> 00:18:44.573
Choose to be a warrior. choose to confront the problem.
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.042
Choose to confront the problem. choose to face the enemy.
00:18:47.109 --> 00:18:50.479
Choose to face the enemy. when you make this choice,
00:18:50.546 --> 00:18:51.813
When you make this choice, you're going to irritate
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:52.981
You're going to irritate the world, the flesh,
00:18:53.048 --> 00:18:54.149
The world, the flesh, and the devil.
00:18:54.216 --> 00:18:56.018
And the devil. but remember this,
00:18:56.084 --> 00:18:57.186
But remember this, our battle is not carnal,
00:18:57.252 --> 00:18:58.720
Our battle is not carnal, but it is mighty.
00:18:58.787 --> 00:18:59.821
But it is mighty. and every weapon that
00:18:59.888 --> 00:19:00.956
And every weapon that he has given you
00:19:01.023 --> 00:19:02.424
He has given you is for the pulling down
00:19:02.491 --> 00:19:03.258
Is for the pulling down of strongholds and every high
00:19:03.325 --> 00:19:04.893
Of strongholds and every high thing that exalts itself
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:06.628
Thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of god.
00:19:06.695 --> 00:19:09.164
Against the knowledge of god. when you make the decision
00:19:09.231 --> 00:19:10.132
When you make the decision to be a warrior,
00:19:10.199 --> 00:19:11.099
To be a warrior, the world is going
00:19:11.166 --> 00:19:12.034
The world is going to critique you,
00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:14.069
To critique you, they're going to write
00:19:14.136 --> 00:19:15.003
They're going to write things about you,
00:19:15.070 --> 00:19:15.971
Things about you, they're going to say
00:19:16.038 --> 00:19:16.805
They're going to say things about you,
00:19:16.872 --> 00:19:17.873
Things about you, they're going to give you
00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:18.473
They're going to give you thumbs down on your
00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:19.808
Thumbs down on your social media feed.
00:19:19.875 --> 00:19:24.046
Social media feed. if their clicks and their
00:19:24.112 --> 00:19:25.414
If their clicks and their likes could kill you,
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.982
Likes could kill you, you would've been dead
00:19:27.049 --> 00:19:28.016
You would've been dead a long time ago.
00:19:28.083 --> 00:19:34.456
A long time ago. you have to be willing to be
00:19:34.523 --> 00:19:35.757
You have to be willing to be a warrior and understand that
00:19:35.824 --> 00:19:38.427
A warrior and understand that your warfare is real.
00:19:38.493 --> 00:19:42.030
Your warfare is real. people say,
00:19:42.097 --> 00:19:42.598
People say, "well, aren't christians
00:19:42.664 --> 00:19:43.265
"well, aren't christians supposed to be peacemakers?"
00:19:43.332 --> 00:19:44.933
Supposed to be peacemakers?" we're supposed
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.701
We're supposed to be peacekeepers.
00:19:45.767 --> 00:19:48.470
To be peacekeepers. jesus christ is the prince
00:19:48.537 --> 00:19:50.138
Jesus christ is the prince of peace and the way
00:19:50.205 --> 00:19:52.007
Of peace and the way that we keep the peace
00:19:52.074 --> 00:19:53.175
That we keep the peace that he has given us
00:19:53.242 --> 00:19:54.176
That he has given us is we take a stand
00:19:54.243 --> 00:19:55.911
Is we take a stand in the day of evil.
00:19:55.978 --> 00:19:57.813
In the day of evil. that statement to take a stand
00:19:57.879 --> 00:19:59.548
That statement to take a stand is not a passive statement,
00:19:59.615 --> 00:20:01.483
Is not a passive statement, it is an aggressive statement.
00:20:01.550 --> 00:20:03.885
It is an aggressive statement. it means that you draw
00:20:03.952 --> 00:20:04.886
It means that you draw a line and you say,
00:20:04.953 --> 00:20:06.455
A line and you say, "the enemy cannot come
00:20:06.521 --> 00:20:08.590
"the enemy cannot come any farther because
00:20:08.657 --> 00:20:09.591
Any farther because this is where i stand,
00:20:09.658 --> 00:20:11.059
This is where i stand, and where i stand, he stops.
00:20:11.126 --> 00:20:13.161
[applause]
00:20:13.428 --> 00:20:20.569
So, once you choose to be
00:20:22.204 --> 00:20:23.171
So, once you choose to be a warrior, how do you win?
00:20:23.238 --> 00:20:25.941
A warrior, how do you win? there's three things that
00:20:26.008 --> 00:20:26.942
There's three things that every warrior needs to win
00:20:27.009 --> 00:20:28.977
Every warrior needs to win and the first is to remember
00:20:29.044 --> 00:20:30.345
And the first is to remember what you're fighting for.
00:20:30.412 --> 00:20:33.081
What you're fighting for. remember what
00:20:33.148 --> 00:20:33.849
Remember what you're fighting for.
00:20:33.915 --> 00:20:36.418
You're fighting for. don't take it personally.
00:20:36.485 --> 00:20:39.621
Don't take it personally. believe it or not,
00:20:39.688 --> 00:20:40.289
Believe it or not, not everything in this life
00:20:40.355 --> 00:20:41.423
Not everything in this life revolves around you.
00:20:41.490 --> 00:20:45.661
Revolves around you. with one exception, the world
00:20:45.727 --> 00:20:46.995
With one exception, the world is full of other people.
00:20:47.062 --> 00:20:49.264
Is full of other people. just think about it.
00:20:49.331 --> 00:20:52.067
Just think about it. but whenever you decide
00:20:52.134 --> 00:20:52.901
But whenever you decide that you remember what
00:20:52.968 --> 00:20:53.735
That you remember what you're fighting for,
00:20:53.802 --> 00:20:56.071
You're fighting for, you'll find the courage
00:20:56.138 --> 00:20:58.040
You'll find the courage to face the adversity.
00:20:58.106 --> 00:21:01.243
To face the adversity. consider this
00:21:01.310 --> 00:21:01.777
Consider this in the life of david.
00:21:01.843 --> 00:21:03.979
In the life of david. he goes to the battlefield where
00:21:04.046 --> 00:21:05.380
He goes to the battlefield where goliath is challenging
00:21:05.447 --> 00:21:06.748
Goliath is challenging the army of israel.
00:21:06.815 --> 00:21:07.749
The army of israel. goliath's offer is very simple,
00:21:07.816 --> 00:21:09.751
Goliath's offer is very simple, "if i defeat your champion,
00:21:09.818 --> 00:21:11.787
"if i defeat your champion, you will be our slaves.
00:21:11.853 --> 00:21:14.656
You will be our slaves. and if he defeats me,
00:21:14.723 --> 00:21:15.757
And if he defeats me, we will be your slaves."
00:21:15.824 --> 00:21:18.560
We will be your slaves." when david hears that
00:21:18.627 --> 00:21:20.262
When david hears that this is an all or nothing
00:21:20.329 --> 00:21:21.463
This is an all or nothing fight and he recognizes
00:21:21.530 --> 00:21:22.998
Fight and he recognizes that he's not only fighting
00:21:23.065 --> 00:21:24.399
That he's not only fighting to protect what god
00:21:24.466 --> 00:21:25.500
To protect what god has done in the past,
00:21:25.567 --> 00:21:27.002
Has done in the past, but he is fighting to defend
00:21:27.069 --> 00:21:28.537
But he is fighting to defend what god has planned
00:21:28.603 --> 00:21:29.971
What god has planned in the future, he says,
00:21:30.038 --> 00:21:31.840
In the future, he says, "how do we not face this giant?
00:21:31.907 --> 00:21:34.643
"how do we not face this giant? everybody else is saying,
00:21:34.710 --> 00:21:35.744
Everybody else is saying, "well, if i go down there
00:21:35.811 --> 00:21:36.712
"well, if i go down there and he kills me,
00:21:36.778 --> 00:21:37.679
And he kills me, what good is my future?"
00:21:37.746 --> 00:21:39.047
What good is my future?" and david is saying,
00:21:39.114 --> 00:21:40.315
And david is saying, "if we don't kill him,
00:21:40.382 --> 00:21:41.383
"if we don't kill him, he's gonna control us
00:21:41.450 --> 00:21:42.584
He's gonna control us so we've got something
00:21:42.651 --> 00:21:43.852
So we've got something worth fighting for."
00:21:43.919 --> 00:21:46.388
Worth fighting for." one of the reasons that
00:21:46.455 --> 00:21:47.089
One of the reasons that people are afraid to face
00:21:47.155 --> 00:21:48.357
People are afraid to face the challenges that they have
00:21:48.423 --> 00:21:49.558
The challenges that they have in this life is because
00:21:49.624 --> 00:21:50.959
In this life is because they've been intimidated
00:21:51.026 --> 00:21:52.227
They've been intimidated by a roaring lion whether
00:21:52.294 --> 00:21:53.795
By a roaring lion whether they know it or not.
00:21:53.862 --> 00:21:55.397
They know it or not. the bible says our enemy
00:21:55.464 --> 00:21:56.565
The bible says our enemy is a roaring lion.
00:21:56.631 --> 00:21:57.966
Is a roaring lion. that means he makes a lot
00:21:58.033 --> 00:21:59.034
That means he makes a lot of noise hoping that the noise
00:21:59.101 --> 00:22:00.602
Of noise hoping that the noise that he makes will discourage
00:22:00.669 --> 00:22:02.170
That he makes will discourage you from talking back to him.
00:22:02.237 --> 00:22:05.774
You from talking back to him. he wants you scared,
00:22:05.841 --> 00:22:06.908
He wants you scared, full of fear,
00:22:06.975 --> 00:22:07.943
Full of fear, wondering and worrying
00:22:08.009 --> 00:22:09.077
Wondering and worrying what he's gonna do next.
00:22:09.144 --> 00:22:10.612
What he's gonna do next. and the reason he wants you
00:22:10.679 --> 00:22:11.813
And the reason he wants you wondering and worrying what
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:13.348
Wondering and worrying what he's going to do next,
00:22:13.415 --> 00:22:14.182
He's going to do next, he knows that if you
00:22:14.249 --> 00:22:15.217
He knows that if you put your faith and your
00:22:15.283 --> 00:22:16.318
Put your faith and your confidence in god,
00:22:16.385 --> 00:22:17.586
Confidence in god, that he has to go because
00:22:17.652 --> 00:22:19.821
That he has to go because the bible says,
00:22:19.888 --> 00:22:20.455
The bible says, "submit to god,
00:22:20.522 --> 00:22:21.490
"submit to god, resist the devil,
00:22:21.556 --> 00:22:22.791
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
00:22:22.858 --> 00:22:24.493
And he will flee from you." god made a promise
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.761
God made a promise to the new testament church.
00:22:25.827 --> 00:22:27.195
To the new testament church. he said god will soon crush
00:22:27.262 --> 00:22:29.731
He said god will soon crush satan underneath your feet.
00:22:29.798 --> 00:22:32.434
Satan underneath your feet. child of god, that means that
00:22:32.501 --> 00:22:33.802
Child of god, that means that all you have to do is take
00:22:33.869 --> 00:22:35.704
All you have to do is take a stand based on god's word
00:22:35.771 --> 00:22:37.639
A stand based on god's word and announce to the enemy,
00:22:37.706 --> 00:22:39.408
And announce to the enemy, "you're not coming any farther.
00:22:39.474 --> 00:22:41.676
"you're not coming any farther. the generational curse
00:22:41.743 --> 00:22:43.111
The generational curse didn't start with me,
00:22:43.178 --> 00:22:44.446
Didn't start with me, but it stops with me.
00:22:44.513 --> 00:22:45.814
But it stops with me. the problem is going
00:22:45.881 --> 00:22:46.982
The problem is going to be solved today.
00:22:47.048 --> 00:22:48.183
To be solved today. the mountain is going
00:22:48.250 --> 00:22:49.351
The mountain is going to move in jesus' name.
00:22:49.418 --> 00:22:51.153
To move in jesus' name. the giant that i am facing
00:22:51.219 --> 00:22:52.754
The giant that i am facing will not be here anymore
00:22:52.821 --> 00:22:54.423
Will not be here anymore because he comes to me
00:22:54.489 --> 00:22:55.624
Because he comes to me with spear and a sword,
00:22:55.690 --> 00:22:56.758
With spear and a sword, but i come to him
00:22:56.825 --> 00:22:57.993
But i come to him in the name of the lord."
00:22:58.059 --> 00:22:59.194
[cheering and applause]
00:22:59.561 --> 00:23:05.567

Remember what you're fighting for.
00:23:06.568 --> 00:23:07.269
You're fighting for. you're fighting

You're fighting for your children
00:23:08.036 --> 00:23:08.804
For your children and your grandchildren.
00:23:08.870 --> 00:23:10.672
And your grandchildren. remember what
00:23:10.739 --> 00:23:11.440
Remember what you're fighting for.
00:23:11.506 --> 00:23:12.441
You're fighting for. you're fighting for everything
00:23:12.507 --> 00:23:13.875
You're fighting for everything that those who came before you
00:23:13.942 --> 00:23:15.277
That those who came before you struggled to give you.
00:23:15.343 --> 00:23:17.512
Struggled to give you. remember what
00:23:17.579 --> 00:23:18.113
Remember what you're fighting for.
00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:18.880
You're fighting for. the fact that god's word
00:23:18.947 --> 00:23:20.482
The fact that god's word is alive and powerful.
00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:22.050
Is alive and powerful. therefore be bold and be strong
00:23:22.117 --> 00:23:24.953
Therefore be bold and be strong for the lord god is with you.
00:23:25.020 --> 00:23:27.155
For the lord god is with you. the second thing
00:23:27.222 --> 00:23:27.856
The second thing that every warrior needs
00:23:27.923 --> 00:23:29.124
That every warrior needs is a battle plan.
00:23:29.191 --> 00:23:32.060
Is a battle plan. you can't go in blind,
00:23:32.127 --> 00:23:34.796
You can't go in blind, you gotta make a plan.
00:23:34.863 --> 00:23:36.998
You gotta make a plan. god gives david a plan.
00:23:37.065 --> 00:23:38.333
God gives david a plan. "take five smooth stones."
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.036
"take five smooth stones." why did david take
00:23:41.102 --> 00:23:41.837
Why did david take five smooth stones?
00:23:41.903 --> 00:23:42.938
Five smooth stones? goliath had four brothers.
00:23:43.004 --> 00:23:46.107
Goliath had four brothers. he wasn't taking
00:23:46.174 --> 00:23:46.908
He wasn't taking extra ammunition,
00:23:46.975 --> 00:23:47.943
Extra ammunition, he already had confidence
00:23:48.009 --> 00:23:49.377
He already had confidence that he wasn't gonna miss.
00:23:49.444 --> 00:23:52.681
That he wasn't gonna miss. you put your faith
00:23:52.747 --> 00:23:53.548
You put your faith in god's plan,
00:23:53.615 --> 00:23:54.916
In god's plan, god's plan will work.
00:23:54.983 --> 00:23:58.186
[applause]
00:23:58.520 --> 00:24:04.593
I know people
00:24:05.126 --> 00:24:05.727
I know people who have a battle plan
00:24:05.794 --> 00:24:06.695
Who have a battle plan for their business.
00:24:06.761 --> 00:24:07.662
For their business. they sit with strategists
00:24:07.729 --> 00:24:09.297
They sit with strategists and discuss it.
00:24:09.364 --> 00:24:10.232
And discuss it. i know people
00:24:10.298 --> 00:24:10.599
I know people who have a battle plan
00:24:10.665 --> 00:24:11.399
Who have a battle plan for their physical health.
00:24:11.466 --> 00:24:12.934
For their physical health. they have a battle plan for
00:24:13.001 --> 00:24:14.135
They have a battle plan for every area of their life.
00:24:14.202 --> 00:24:15.103
Every area of their life. they've got all kinds
00:24:15.170 --> 00:24:16.171
They've got all kinds of battle plans for everything,
00:24:16.238 --> 00:24:17.672
Of battle plans for everything, but they don't have a battle
00:24:17.739 --> 00:24:19.007
But they don't have a battle plan for the spiritual success
00:24:19.074 --> 00:24:20.375
Plan for the spiritual success that they want.
00:24:20.442 --> 00:24:22.177
That they want. you need a plan.
00:24:22.244 --> 00:24:24.913
You need a plan. and the third thing
00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:25.714
And the third thing that every warrior needs,
00:24:25.780 --> 00:24:29.084
That every warrior needs, is to remember whose strength
00:24:29.150 --> 00:24:30.085
Is to remember whose strength you're fighting in.
00:24:30.151 --> 00:24:33.455
You're fighting in. the bible says that
00:24:33.522 --> 00:24:34.122
The bible says that the battle belongs to the lord.
00:24:34.189 --> 00:24:38.793
The battle belongs to the lord. it's not by might nor by power
00:24:38.860 --> 00:24:43.164
It's not by might nor by power but by your spirit.
00:24:43.231 --> 00:24:47.435
But by your spirit. the difference between
00:24:47.502 --> 00:24:48.203
The difference between a warrior and a winner
00:24:48.270 --> 00:24:50.739
A warrior and a winner is that a warrior will fight
00:24:50.805 --> 00:24:51.840
Is that a warrior will fight in his strength and lose,
00:24:51.907 --> 00:24:54.943
In his strength and lose, but those who go to war with
00:24:55.010 --> 00:24:56.278
But those who go to war with the spirit of god in them
00:24:56.344 --> 00:24:57.879
The spirit of god in them cannot be defeated.
00:24:57.946 --> 00:25:02.250
Cannot be defeated. the world that we live in
00:25:02.317 --> 00:25:03.685
The world that we live in is a place of struggle
00:25:03.752 --> 00:25:04.953
Is a place of struggle and conflict,
00:25:05.020 --> 00:25:06.888
And conflict, it can't be avoided.
00:25:06.955 --> 00:25:11.192
It can't be avoided. you can wimp out,
00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:14.095
You can wimp out, you can whine about it,
00:25:14.162 --> 00:25:16.464
You can whine about it, get on facebook,
00:25:16.531 --> 00:25:19.134
Get on facebook, just share your feelings.
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:20.902
[laughter]
00:25:21.202 --> 00:25:23.638
Your feelings
00:25:24.005 --> 00:25:24.506
Your feelings won't fix the problem.
00:25:24.573 --> 00:25:28.677
Won't fix the problem. or you can choose today
00:25:28.743 --> 00:25:29.678
Or you can choose today to face it as a warrior filled
00:25:29.744 --> 00:25:32.347
To face it as a warrior filled with god's spirit and see
00:25:32.414 --> 00:25:34.716
With god's spirit and see what god can do
00:25:34.783 --> 00:25:37.586
What god can do as he turns you into
00:25:37.652 --> 00:25:38.386
As he turns you into more than a conqueror
00:25:38.453 --> 00:25:40.055
More than a conqueror through christ.
00:25:40.121 --> 00:25:41.923
Through christ. would you give the lord
00:25:41.990 --> 00:25:42.524
Would you give the lord a handclap of praise?
00:25:42.591 --> 00:25:43.224
