  • Pastor matt hagee: in hebrews 11,
  • 00:00:17.677 --> 00:00:20.280
  • Hebrews 11, we have what has been called
  • 00:00:20.346 --> 00:00:21.281
  • We have what has been called the hall of fame of faith
  • 00:00:21.347 --> 00:00:23.716
  • The hall of fame of faith and the singular thread
  • 00:00:23.783 --> 00:00:24.784
  • And the singular thread that carries through each
  • 00:00:24.851 --> 00:00:25.819
  • That carries through each and every life that is listed
  • 00:00:25.885 --> 00:00:27.353
  • And every life that is listed there is that what they did,
  • 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:29.456
  • There is that what they did, they did in one way, by faith.
  • 00:00:29.522 --> 00:00:34.194
  • They did in one way, by faith. everything that you will
  • 00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:34.861
  • Everything that you will ever do for god and that god
  • 00:00:34.928 --> 00:00:36.362
  • Ever do for god and that god will ever do with you
  • 00:00:36.429 --> 00:00:38.331
  • Will ever do with you will be done by faith.
  • 00:00:38.398 --> 00:00:41.434
  • Will be done by faith. it doesn't matter who has
  • 00:00:41.501 --> 00:00:42.569
  • It doesn't matter who has something to say against you.
  • 00:00:42.635 --> 00:00:44.971
  • Something to say against you. if you have faith in god
  • 00:00:45.038 --> 00:00:46.439
  • If you have faith in god and if he is for you,
  • 00:00:46.506 --> 00:00:47.907
  • And if he is for you, who can be against you?
  • 00:00:47.974 --> 00:00:50.643
  • Who can be against you? when we get to hebrews 11:32,
  • 00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:54.514
  • When we get to hebrews 11:32, the author of hebrews
  • 00:00:54.581 --> 00:00:55.482
  • The author of hebrews is writing to a predominantly
  • 00:00:55.548 --> 00:00:58.118
  • Is writing to a predominantly jewish audience.
  • 00:00:58.184 --> 00:00:58.918
  • Jewish audience. they understand jewish history.
  • 00:00:58.985 --> 00:01:01.087
  • They understand jewish history. they've been taught
  • 00:01:01.154 --> 00:01:02.322
  • They've been taught the stories of the past.
  • 00:01:02.388 --> 00:01:04.524
  • The stories of the past. and so, rather than get
  • 00:01:04.591 --> 00:01:05.325
  • And so, rather than get into the details of each
  • 00:01:05.391 --> 00:01:06.526
  • Into the details of each and every individual
  • 00:01:06.593 --> 00:01:07.594
  • And every individual and what they accomplished,
  • 00:01:07.660 --> 00:01:08.895
  • And what they accomplished, he just puts them all
  • 00:01:08.962 --> 00:01:10.263
  • He just puts them all into a group and says,
  • 00:01:10.330 --> 00:01:11.197
  • Into a group and says, "what more should i say
  • 00:01:11.264 --> 00:01:13.066
  • "what more should i say because time would fail me.
  • 00:01:13.133 --> 00:01:14.434
  • Because time would fail me. if i told every story,
  • 00:01:14.501 --> 00:01:15.869
  • If i told every story, this chapter would never end,"
  • 00:01:15.935 --> 00:01:17.270
  • This chapter would never end," is what he's saying.
  • 00:01:17.337 --> 00:01:19.072
  • Is what he's saying. and he writes about
  • 00:01:19.139 --> 00:01:19.939
  • And he writes about individuals like gideon,
  • 00:01:20.006 --> 00:01:22.375
  • Individuals like gideon, and barak, and samson,
  • 00:01:22.442 --> 00:01:24.477
  • And barak, and samson, and jephthah, and david,
  • 00:01:24.544 --> 00:01:26.846
  • And jephthah, and david, and samuel, and the prophets.
  • 00:01:26.913 --> 00:01:29.249
  • And samuel, and the prophets. he literally goes from
  • 00:01:29.315 --> 00:01:30.483
  • He literally goes from the book of judges
  • 00:01:30.550 --> 00:01:31.451
  • The book of judges all the way through
  • 00:01:31.518 --> 00:01:33.052
  • All the way through the end of the old testament
  • 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:34.721
  • The end of the old testament talking about how these
  • 00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:36.089
  • Talking about how these individuals were able to do
  • 00:01:36.156 --> 00:01:37.757
  • Individuals were able to do great things by faith.
  • 00:01:37.824 --> 00:01:41.661
  • Great things by faith. but when you take
  • 00:01:41.728 --> 00:01:42.195
  • But when you take a closer look at the names
  • 00:01:42.262 --> 00:01:43.429
  • A closer look at the names that he's listed here,
  • 00:01:43.496 --> 00:01:44.330
  • That he's listed here, what you discover is that
  • 00:01:44.397 --> 00:01:45.899
  • What you discover is that they weren't always warriors
  • 00:01:45.965 --> 00:01:47.467
  • They weren't always warriors and winners who lived by faith.
  • 00:01:47.534 --> 00:01:49.569
  • And winners who lived by faith. when we meet them,
  • 00:01:49.636 --> 00:01:50.803
  • When we meet them, some of them were wimps
  • 00:01:50.870 --> 00:01:52.472
  • Some of them were wimps and some of them were whiners.
  • 00:01:52.539 --> 00:01:56.843
  • And some of them were whiners. and the good news is,
  • 00:01:56.910 --> 00:01:58.811
  • And the good news is, god gave them the strength
  • 00:01:58.878 --> 00:02:00.680
  • God gave them the strength to overcome because of what
  • 00:02:00.747 --> 00:02:02.849
  • To overcome because of what they did with their faith.
  • 00:02:02.916 --> 00:02:05.385
  • They did with their faith. rather than look
  • 00:02:05.451 --> 00:02:05.985
  • Rather than look at the circumstances,
  • 00:02:06.052 --> 00:02:07.053
  • At the circumstances, they put their faith in a god
  • 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.788
  • They put their faith in a god who gave them the ability
  • 00:02:08.855 --> 00:02:10.523
  • Who gave them the ability to overcome circumstance.
  • 00:02:10.590 --> 00:02:12.692
  • To overcome circumstance. what you need to know as
  • 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:13.626
  • What you need to know as a child of god in the world
  • 00:02:13.693 --> 00:02:15.261
  • A child of god in the world that we live in,
  • 00:02:15.328 --> 00:02:16.162
  • That we live in, is that you are not here to
  • 00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:17.163
  • Is that you are not here to live beneath the circumstance,
  • 00:02:17.230 --> 00:02:19.465
  • Live beneath the circumstance, you are here to live above
  • 00:02:19.532 --> 00:02:20.733
  • You are here to live above the circumstance by the power
  • 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.335
  • The circumstance by the power of the living god
  • 00:02:22.402 --> 00:02:23.169
  • Of the living god that is in you.
  • 00:02:23.236 --> 00:02:26.206
  • That is in you. every warrior and every winner
  • 00:02:26.272 --> 00:02:29.042
  • Every warrior and every winner comes to the place of their
  • 00:02:29.108 --> 00:02:30.777
  • Comes to the place of their victory through god.
  • 00:02:30.843 --> 00:02:33.279
  • Victory through god. the bible says,
  • 00:02:33.346 --> 00:02:33.913
  • The bible says, "our faith is the victory
  • 00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:36.249
  • "our faith is the victory that overcomes the world."
  • 00:02:36.316 --> 00:02:39.886
  • That overcomes the world." whenever the author of hebrews
  • 00:02:39.953 --> 00:02:40.954
  • Whenever the author of hebrews is talking about gideon,
  • 00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:42.422
  • Is talking about gideon, and barak, and samson,
  • 00:02:42.488 --> 00:02:44.824
  • And barak, and samson, he's talking about a time
  • 00:02:44.891 --> 00:02:45.892
  • He's talking about a time in which the entire
  • 00:02:45.959 --> 00:02:47.193
  • In which the entire nation of israel was living
  • 00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:48.861
  • Nation of israel was living in a vicious cycle.
  • 00:02:48.928 --> 00:02:50.396
  • In a vicious cycle. say it this way,
  • 00:02:50.463 --> 00:02:51.497
  • Say it this way, they were continually
  • 00:02:51.564 --> 00:02:52.765
  • They were continually walking around digging a rut.
  • 00:02:52.832 --> 00:02:56.336
  • Walking around digging a rut. when we meet gideon,
  • 00:02:56.402 --> 00:02:57.303
  • When we meet gideon, for example,
  • 00:02:57.370 --> 00:02:59.305
  • For example, gideon is not a warrior
  • 00:02:59.372 --> 00:03:00.506
  • Gideon is not a warrior and gideon is not a winner,
  • 00:03:00.573 --> 00:03:02.108
  • And gideon is not a winner, gideon is a whiner.
  • 00:03:02.175 --> 00:03:05.111
  • Gideon is a whiner. he's an absolute whiner.
  • 00:03:05.178 --> 00:03:06.946
  • He's an absolute whiner. the angel of the lord comes
  • 00:03:07.013 --> 00:03:08.114
  • The angel of the lord comes to him and he's threshing wheat
  • 00:03:08.181 --> 00:03:11.017
  • To him and he's threshing wheat in a winepress.
  • 00:03:11.084 --> 00:03:12.852
  • In a winepress. you do not need a phd
  • 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.020
  • You do not need a phd in agriculture to know
  • 00:03:14.087 --> 00:03:15.088
  • In agriculture to know he's doing the wrong thing
  • 00:03:15.154 --> 00:03:16.389
  • He's doing the wrong thing with the wrong equipment.
  • 00:03:16.456 --> 00:03:18.725
  • With the wrong equipment. but the reason he's threshing
  • 00:03:18.791 --> 00:03:19.826
  • But the reason he's threshing wheat in a winepress is because
  • 00:03:19.892 --> 00:03:21.761
  • Wheat in a winepress is because he doesn't want his enemies
  • 00:03:21.828 --> 00:03:22.895
  • He doesn't want his enemies to see that he has food
  • 00:03:22.962 --> 00:03:24.964
  • To see that he has food because they're gonna come
  • 00:03:25.031 --> 00:03:25.865
  • Because they're gonna come and steal the food.
  • 00:03:25.932 --> 00:03:27.433
  • And steal the food. and when the angel of the lord
  • 00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:28.401
  • And when the angel of the lord comes to see him
  • 00:03:28.468 --> 00:03:29.202
  • Comes to see him in the book of judges,
  • 00:03:29.269 --> 00:03:30.436
  • In the book of judges, the first thing that
  • 00:03:30.503 --> 00:03:31.070
  • The first thing that the angel of the lord says
  • 00:03:31.137 --> 00:03:32.171
  • The angel of the lord says to him is rather humorous
  • 00:03:32.238 --> 00:03:33.539
  • To him is rather humorous because what he says is,
  • 00:03:33.606 --> 00:03:35.174
  • Because what he says is, "behold mighty man of valor."
  • 00:03:35.241 --> 00:03:39.679
  • "behold mighty man of valor." the angel doesn't show up
  • 00:03:39.746 --> 00:03:40.613
  • The angel doesn't show up and say, "hey, wimp.
  • 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:41.247
  • And say, "hey, wimp. what are you doing
  • 00:03:41.314 --> 00:03:41.981
  • What are you doing in the winepress?"
  • 00:03:42.048 --> 00:03:42.849
  • [laughter]
  • 00:03:43.283 --> 00:03:44.217
  • And rather than consider
  • 00:03:46.085 --> 00:03:47.720
  • And rather than consider the encounter that he's having
  • 00:03:47.787 --> 00:03:48.888
  • The encounter that he's having with a celestial being sent
  • 00:03:48.955 --> 00:03:50.390
  • With a celestial being sent from heaven with a message,
  • 00:03:50.456 --> 00:03:51.858
  • From heaven with a message, do you know what gideon does
  • 00:03:51.924 --> 00:03:53.326
  • Do you know what gideon does whenever the presence of god
  • 00:03:53.393 --> 00:03:54.861
  • Whenever the presence of god is standing in front of him?
  • 00:03:54.927 --> 00:03:57.130
  • Is standing in front of him? he starts whining.
  • 00:03:57.196 --> 00:03:59.999
  • He starts whining. the angel says,
  • 00:04:00.066 --> 00:04:00.800
  • The angel says, "behold, the lord is with you."
  • 00:04:00.867 --> 00:04:04.337
  • "behold, the lord is with you." and rather than
  • 00:04:04.404 --> 00:04:05.104
  • And rather than shout hallelujah, he says,
  • 00:04:05.171 --> 00:04:07.440
  • Shout hallelujah, he says, "well, if god is with me,
  • 00:04:07.507 --> 00:04:09.075
  • "well, if god is with me, why am i in this circumstance?"
  • 00:04:09.142 --> 00:04:15.448
  • Why am i in this circumstance?" and before we pick up the rocks
  • 00:04:15.515 --> 00:04:17.417
  • And before we pick up the rocks and start throwing them
  • 00:04:17.483 --> 00:04:18.384
  • And start throwing them at gideon for being a whiner,
  • 00:04:18.451 --> 00:04:19.886
  • At gideon for being a whiner, how many of god's kids
  • 00:04:19.952 --> 00:04:21.154
  • How many of god's kids come to god's house
  • 00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:22.288
  • Come to god's house on the lord's day,
  • 00:04:22.355 --> 00:04:23.156
  • On the lord's day, and the presence of the lord
  • 00:04:23.222 --> 00:04:24.524
  • And the presence of the lord fills the sanctuary,
  • 00:04:24.590 --> 00:04:25.792
  • Fills the sanctuary, and the holy spirit
  • 00:04:25.858 --> 00:04:27.093
  • And the holy spirit whispers into your soul.
  • 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.361
  • Whispers into your soul. it doesn't matter
  • 00:04:28.428 --> 00:04:29.128
  • It doesn't matter what you're going through,
  • 00:04:29.195 --> 00:04:30.163
  • What you're going through, god is with you.
  • 00:04:30.229 --> 00:04:31.464
  • God is with you. god knows you.
  • 00:04:31.531 --> 00:04:32.965
  • God knows you. god's here for you.

  • [applause]
  • 00:04:34.367 --> 00:04:39.372
  • And rather than shout
  • 00:04:39.706 --> 00:04:40.306
  • And rather than shout hallelujah, we say,
  • 00:04:40.373 --> 00:04:41.341
  • Hallelujah, we say, "well, if he's with me,
  • 00:04:41.407 --> 00:04:42.642
  • "well, if he's with me, why am i still struggling?"
  • 00:04:42.709 --> 00:04:46.646
  • Why am i still struggling?" i'll tell you why,
  • 00:04:46.713 --> 00:04:47.380
  • I'll tell you why, because struggle is
  • 00:04:47.447 --> 00:04:48.648
  • Because struggle is a part of life.
  • 00:04:48.715 --> 00:04:51.017
  • A part of life. adversity is something
  • 00:04:51.084 --> 00:04:52.518
  • Adversity is something that is common to everybody
  • 00:04:52.585 --> 00:04:54.087
  • That is common to everybody who draws a breath.
  • 00:04:54.153 --> 00:04:55.188
  • Who draws a breath. job said, "as sure as sparks
  • 00:04:55.254 --> 00:04:56.856
  • Job said, "as sure as sparks fly up from a fire,
  • 00:04:56.923 --> 00:04:58.491
  • Fly up from a fire, so is a man born to trouble."
  • 00:04:58.558 --> 00:05:00.426
  • So is a man born to trouble." stop looking at adversity
  • 00:05:00.493 --> 00:05:02.095
  • Stop looking at adversity as something that is against you
  • 00:05:02.161 --> 00:05:04.063
  • As something that is against you and start looking as
  • 00:05:04.130 --> 00:05:05.231
  • And start looking as an opportunity that god has
  • 00:05:05.298 --> 00:05:06.666
  • An opportunity that god has given you to give you
  • 00:05:06.733 --> 00:05:07.867
  • Given you to give you the strength that you need
  • 00:05:07.934 --> 00:05:08.868
  • The strength that you need to be more than the conqueror
  • 00:05:08.935 --> 00:05:10.303

  • [cheering and applause]
  • 00:09:57.723 --> 00:10:03.763
  • What was it with this generation
  • 00:10:04.630 --> 00:10:06.432
  • What was it with this generation that they decided god
  • 00:10:06.499 --> 00:10:07.700
  • That they decided god didn't exist?
  • 00:10:07.767 --> 00:10:08.968
  • Didn't exist? the answer,
  • 00:10:09.035 --> 00:10:09.602
  • The answer, they didn't have the same
  • 00:10:09.669 --> 00:10:10.936
  • They didn't have the same struggle that their parents
  • 00:10:11.003 --> 00:10:12.371
  • Struggle that their parents and their grandparents did.
  • 00:10:12.438 --> 00:10:15.608
  • And their grandparents did. they had it too good.
  • 00:10:15.675 --> 00:10:19.078
  • They had it too good. they didn't have to walk around
  • 00:10:19.145 --> 00:10:20.446
  • They didn't have to walk around in circles in the wilderness,
  • 00:10:20.513 --> 00:10:21.580
  • In circles in the wilderness, they got to sleep in homes
  • 00:10:21.647 --> 00:10:22.948
  • They got to sleep in homes in the promised land.
  • 00:10:23.015 --> 00:10:24.216
  • In the promised land. and when they had
  • 00:10:24.283 --> 00:10:24.784
  • And when they had it comfortable,
  • 00:10:24.850 --> 00:10:25.751
  • It comfortable, then they got complacent
  • 00:10:25.818 --> 00:10:27.219
  • Then they got complacent in how they got
  • 00:10:27.286 --> 00:10:28.320
  • In how they got to where they are.
  • 00:10:28.387 --> 00:10:30.756
  • To where they are. what do we see happening
  • 00:10:30.823 --> 00:10:31.691
  • What do we see happening in this world today?
  • 00:10:31.757 --> 00:10:32.625
  • In this world today? we see a significant
  • 00:10:32.692 --> 00:10:33.993
  • We see a significant generational shift,
  • 00:10:34.060 --> 00:10:35.594
  • Generational shift, and we see the better
  • 00:10:35.661 --> 00:10:36.595
  • And we see the better we have it,
  • 00:10:36.662 --> 00:10:37.363
  • We have it, the softer we get,
  • 00:10:37.430 --> 00:10:38.631
  • The softer we get, and the softer we get,
  • 00:10:38.698 --> 00:10:39.598
  • And the softer we get, the worse things are.
  • 00:10:39.665 --> 00:10:45.438
  • The worse things are. we live in a world
  • 00:10:45.504 --> 00:10:46.138
  • We live in a world that is in a rut.
  • 00:10:46.205 --> 00:10:48.874
  • That is in a rut. we use blame and accusation
  • 00:10:48.941 --> 00:10:50.810
  • We use blame and accusation as the reasons for
  • 00:10:50.876 --> 00:10:51.911
  • As the reasons for a lack of success.
  • 00:10:51.977 --> 00:10:54.180
  • A lack of success. what you need to understand
  • 00:10:54.246 --> 00:10:55.281
  • What you need to understand is that nothing in your life
  • 00:10:55.347 --> 00:10:56.749
  • Is that nothing in your life will be successful until you
  • 00:10:56.816 --> 00:10:57.950
  • Will be successful until you take responsibility for who
  • 00:10:58.017 --> 00:10:59.652
  • Take responsibility for who you are and what you do.

  • They got the opportunity. i did not."

  • At the same place that somebody else did,

  • Whenever you turn away from god

  • Whenever you turn away from god and lawlessness abounds,
  • 00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:55.501
  • And lawlessness abounds, you dig a rut
  • 00:12:55.568 --> 00:12:56.335
  • You dig a rut of political chaos,
  • 00:12:56.402 --> 00:12:57.570
  • Of political chaos, you dig a rut of social chaos,
  • 00:12:57.636 --> 00:12:59.505
  • You dig a rut of social chaos, you dig a rut
  • 00:12:59.572 --> 00:13:00.439
  • You dig a rut of spiritual chaos.
  • 00:13:00.506 --> 00:13:03.275
  • Of spiritual chaos. the bible tells us that
  • 00:13:03.342 --> 00:13:04.443
  • The bible tells us that righteousness exalts a nation,
  • 00:13:04.510 --> 00:13:06.912
  • Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach
  • 00:13:06.979 --> 00:13:08.047
  • But sin is a reproach to any people.
  • 00:13:08.113 --> 00:13:10.049
  • To any people. right now,
  • 00:13:10.115 --> 00:13:10.749
  • Right now, what we're experiencing
  • 00:13:10.816 --> 00:13:11.884
  • What we're experiencing in this nation at a volume
  • 00:13:11.951 --> 00:13:13.986
  • In this nation at a volume like we've never heard it before
  • 00:13:14.053 --> 00:13:15.855
  • Like we've never heard it before is a literal crossroads,
  • 00:13:15.921 --> 00:13:17.356
  • Is a literal crossroads, very similar to what
  • 00:13:17.423 --> 00:13:18.290
  • Very similar to what the judges were living in
  • 00:13:18.357 --> 00:13:19.658
  • The judges were living in in the book of --
  • 00:13:19.725 --> 00:13:21.093
  • In the book of -- in the time of israel.
  • 00:13:21.160 --> 00:13:22.728
  • In the time of israel. right now, this united states
  • 00:13:22.795 --> 00:13:24.296
  • Right now, this united states is at a crossroads.
  • 00:13:24.363 --> 00:13:26.599
  • Is at a crossroads. a crossroads
  • 00:13:26.665 --> 00:13:27.299
  • A crossroads of righteousness and wickedness.
  • 00:13:27.366 --> 00:13:31.237
  • Of righteousness and wickedness. a crossroads of responsibility
  • 00:13:31.303 --> 00:13:33.272
  • A crossroads of responsibility and lawlessness.
  • 00:13:33.339 --> 00:13:35.374
  • And lawlessness. a crossroads
  • 00:13:35.441 --> 00:13:36.141
  • A crossroads of truth and a lie,
  • 00:13:36.208 --> 00:13:37.843
  • Of truth and a lie, light and darkness.
  • 00:13:37.910 --> 00:13:42.414
  • Light and darkness. at the crossroads that we face,
  • 00:13:42.481 --> 00:13:45.317
  • At the crossroads that we face, there's an ancient question
  • 00:13:45.384 --> 00:13:46.719
  • There's an ancient question that has to be answered
  • 00:13:46.785 --> 00:13:47.686
  • That has to be answered in our modern time.
  • 00:13:47.753 --> 00:13:49.788
  • In our modern time. this was the question that moses
  • 00:13:49.855 --> 00:13:51.290
  • This was the question that moses asked his generation when they
  • 00:13:51.357 --> 00:13:53.225
  • Asked his generation when they were at a crossroads.
  • 00:13:53.292 --> 00:13:55.427
  • Were at a crossroads. they were at mount sinai
  • 00:13:55.494 --> 00:13:56.929
  • They were at mount sinai and 40,000 of them decided that
  • 00:13:56.996 --> 00:13:59.098
  • And 40,000 of them decided that they were gonna start worshiping
  • 00:13:59.164 --> 00:14:00.399
  • They were gonna start worshiping this new golden calf theology.
  • 00:14:00.466 --> 00:14:04.703
  • This new golden calf theology. and when moses saw what was
  • 00:14:04.770 --> 00:14:06.672
  • And when moses saw what was going on in israel,
  • 00:14:06.739 --> 00:14:07.473
  • Going on in israel, he asked the question,
  • 00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:08.974
  • He asked the question, "who is on the lord's side?"
  • 00:14:09.041 --> 00:14:12.411
  • "who is on the lord's side?" and then, he gave them
  • 00:14:12.478 --> 00:14:13.279
  • And then, he gave them a command, "come to me."
  • 00:14:13.345 --> 00:14:16.181
  • A command, "come to me." you see, it's not enough
  • 00:14:16.248 --> 00:14:17.049
  • You see, it's not enough to say you're on god's side,
  • 00:14:17.116 --> 00:14:18.517
  • To say you're on god's side, you actually have to put
  • 00:14:18.584 --> 00:14:19.585
  • You actually have to put actions with your beliefs.
  • 00:14:19.652 --> 00:14:23.122
  • Actions with your beliefs. and whenever the lord saw those
  • 00:14:23.188 --> 00:14:25.157
  • And whenever the lord saw those who chose him and came to moses,
  • 00:14:25.224 --> 00:14:27.860
  • Who chose him and came to moses, he opened up a hole
  • 00:14:27.927 --> 00:14:28.761
  • He opened up a hole in the ground and swallowed
  • 00:14:28.827 --> 00:14:30.095
  • In the ground and swallowed everybody else in it.
  • 00:14:30.162 --> 00:14:32.364
  • Everybody else in it. now, let me give you
  • 00:14:32.431 --> 00:14:33.098
  • Now, let me give you your options,
  • 00:14:33.165 --> 00:14:35.167
  • Your options, you come to god,
  • 00:14:35.234 --> 00:14:37.937
  • You come to god, or you're dismissed.
  • 00:14:38.003 --> 00:14:42.174
  • Or you're dismissed. that's the polite way
  • 00:14:42.241 --> 00:14:43.042
  • That's the polite way to say buried alive.
  • 00:14:43.108 --> 00:14:46.478
  • To say buried alive. given those two,
  • 00:14:46.545 --> 00:14:47.146
  • Given those two, which one of you say,
  • 00:14:47.212 --> 00:14:47.980
  • Which one of you say, "i'm on the lord's side?"
  • 00:14:48.047 --> 00:14:50.649
  • "i'm on the lord's side?" i can hear the holy spirit
  • 00:14:50.716 --> 00:14:52.251
  • I can hear the holy spirit echoing through the generations,
  • 00:14:52.318 --> 00:14:54.019
  • Echoing through the generations, "who is on the lord's side?
  • 00:14:54.086 --> 00:14:56.388
  • "who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?
  • 00:14:56.455 --> 00:14:58.657
  • Who is on the lord's side? who is on the lord's side?"
  • 00:14:58.724 --> 00:15:00.392
  • Who is on the lord's side?" he doesn't want
  • 00:15:00.459 --> 00:15:01.327

  • In the day of evil. that statement to take a stand
  • 00:19:56.888 --> 00:19:58.557
  • That statement to take a stand is not a passive statement,
  • 00:19:58.624 --> 00:20:00.492
  • Is not a passive statement, it is an aggressive statement.
  • 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.894
  • It is an aggressive statement. it means that you draw
  • 00:20:02.961 --> 00:20:03.895
  • It means that you draw a line and you say,
  • 00:20:03.962 --> 00:20:05.464
  • A line and you say, "the enemy cannot come
  • 00:20:05.530 --> 00:20:07.599
  • "the enemy cannot come any farther because
  • 00:20:07.666 --> 00:20:08.600

  • Don't take it personally. believe it or not,
  • 00:20:38.697 --> 00:20:39.298
  • Believe it or not, not everything in this life
  • 00:20:39.364 --> 00:20:40.432
  • Not everything in this life revolves around you.
  • 00:20:40.499 --> 00:20:44.670
  • Revolves around you. with one exception, the world
  • 00:20:44.736 --> 00:20:46.004
  • With one exception, the world is full of other people.
  • 00:20:46.071 --> 00:20:48.273
  • Is full of other people. just think about it.
  • 00:20:48.340 --> 00:20:51.076
  • Just think about it. but whenever you decide
  • 00:20:51.143 --> 00:20:51.910
  • But whenever you decide that you remember what
  • 00:20:51.977 --> 00:20:52.744
  • That you remember what you're fighting for,
  • 00:20:52.811 --> 00:20:55.080

  • To face the adversity. consider this
  • 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:00.786
  • Consider this in the life of david.
  • 00:21:00.852 --> 00:21:02.988
  • In the life of david. he goes to the battlefield where
  • 00:21:03.055 --> 00:21:04.389
  • He goes to the battlefield where goliath is challenging
  • 00:21:04.456 --> 00:21:05.757
  • Goliath is challenging the army of israel.
  • 00:21:05.824 --> 00:21:06.758
  • The army of israel. goliath's offer is very simple,
  • 00:21:06.825 --> 00:21:08.760
  • Goliath's offer is very simple, "if i defeat your champion,
  • 00:21:08.827 --> 00:21:10.796
  • "if i defeat your champion, you will be our slaves.
  • 00:21:10.862 --> 00:21:13.665
  • You will be our slaves. and if he defeats me,
  • 00:21:13.732 --> 00:21:14.766
  • And if he defeats me, we will be your slaves."
  • 00:21:14.833 --> 00:21:17.569
  • We will be your slaves." when david hears that
  • 00:21:17.636 --> 00:21:19.271
  • When david hears that this is an all or nothing
  • 00:21:19.338 --> 00:21:20.472
  • This is an all or nothing fight and he recognizes
  • 00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:22.007
  • Fight and he recognizes that he's not only fighting
  • 00:21:22.074 --> 00:21:23.408
  • That he's not only fighting to protect what god
  • 00:21:23.475 --> 00:21:24.509
  • To protect what god has done in the past,
  • 00:21:24.576 --> 00:21:26.011
  • Has done in the past, but he is fighting to defend
  • 00:21:26.078 --> 00:21:27.546
  • But he is fighting to defend what god has planned
  • 00:21:27.612 --> 00:21:28.980
  • What god has planned in the future, he says,
  • 00:21:29.047 --> 00:21:30.849
  • In the future, he says, "how do we not face this giant?
  • 00:21:30.916 --> 00:21:33.652
  • "how do we not face this giant? everybody else is saying,
  • 00:21:33.719 --> 00:21:34.753
  • Everybody else is saying, "well, if i go down there
  • 00:21:34.820 --> 00:21:35.721
  • "well, if i go down there and he kills me,
  • 00:21:35.787 --> 00:21:36.688
  • And he kills me, what good is my future?"
  • 00:21:36.755 --> 00:21:38.056
  • What good is my future?" and david is saying,
  • 00:21:38.123 --> 00:21:39.324
  • And david is saying, "if we don't kill him,
  • 00:21:39.391 --> 00:21:40.392
  • "if we don't kill him, he's gonna control us
  • 00:21:40.459 --> 00:21:41.593
  • He's gonna control us so we've got something
  • 00:21:41.660 --> 00:21:42.861
  • So we've got something worth fighting for."
  • 00:21:42.928 --> 00:21:45.397
  • Worth fighting for." one of the reasons that
  • 00:21:45.464 --> 00:21:46.098
  • One of the reasons that people are afraid to face
  • 00:21:46.164 --> 00:21:47.366
  • People are afraid to face the challenges that they have
  • 00:21:47.432 --> 00:21:48.567
  • The challenges that they have in this life is because
  • 00:21:48.633 --> 00:21:49.968
  • In this life is because they've been intimidated
  • 00:21:50.035 --> 00:21:51.236
  • They've been intimidated by a roaring lion whether
  • 00:21:51.303 --> 00:21:52.804

  • The bible says our enemy is a roaring lion.
  • 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:56.975
  • Is a roaring lion. that means he makes a lot
  • 00:21:57.042 --> 00:21:58.043
  • That means he makes a lot of noise hoping that the noise
  • 00:21:58.110 --> 00:21:59.611
  • Of noise hoping that the noise that he makes will discourage
  • 00:21:59.678 --> 00:22:01.179

  • Put your faith and your confidence in god,
  • 00:22:15.394 --> 00:22:16.595
  • Confidence in god, that he has to go because
  • 00:22:16.661 --> 00:22:18.830
  • That he has to go because the bible says,
  • 00:22:18.897 --> 00:22:19.464
  • The bible says, "submit to god,
  • 00:22:19.531 --> 00:22:20.499

  • Satan underneath your feet. child of god, that means that
  • 00:22:31.510 --> 00:22:32.811
  • Child of god, that means that all you have to do is take
  • 00:22:32.878 --> 00:22:34.713
  • All you have to do is take a stand based on god's word
  • 00:22:34.780 --> 00:22:36.648
