- 00:00:15.341 --> 00:00:17.944
- Pastor matt hagee: john 5 tells us very quickly
- 00:00:18.011 --> 00:00:19.179
- Tells us very quickly and clearly,
- 00:00:19.245 --> 00:00:20.080
- And clearly, the power of belief
- 00:00:20.146 --> 00:00:22.115
- The power of belief and the danger of unbelief.
- 00:00:22.182 --> 00:00:25.452
- And the danger of unbelief. you have to understand that
- 00:00:25.518 --> 00:00:26.786
- You have to understand that there are consequences to both.
- 00:00:26.853 --> 00:00:30.256
- There are consequences to both. and truly, in this world,
- 00:00:30.323 --> 00:00:31.524
- And truly, in this world, it really doesn't matter
- 00:00:31.591 --> 00:00:32.392
- It really doesn't matter what the topic is,
- 00:00:32.459 --> 00:00:33.426
- What the topic is, there's only
- 00:00:33.493 --> 00:00:33.993
- There's only two types of people.
- 00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:35.095
- Two types of people. there are
- 00:00:35.161 --> 00:00:35.662
- There are believers and nonbelievers.
- 00:00:35.728 --> 00:00:38.965
- Believers and nonbelievers. and when you make your decision
- 00:00:39.032 --> 00:00:40.166
- And when you make your decision about whether you believe
- 00:00:40.233 --> 00:00:41.234
- About whether you believe or you don't believe,
- 00:00:41.301 --> 00:00:42.235
- Or you don't believe, the next thing that
- 00:00:42.302 --> 00:00:43.002
- The next thing that will happen is your behaviors
- 00:00:43.069 --> 00:00:44.571
- Will happen is your behaviors will be based
- 00:00:44.637 --> 00:00:45.472
- Will be based on what you believe.
- 00:00:45.538 --> 00:00:48.374
- On what you believe. 1 john 5 describes these
- 00:00:48.441 --> 00:00:50.510
- 1 john 5 describes these two types of people:
- 00:00:50.577 --> 00:00:52.679
- Two types of people: he who believes and he
- 00:00:52.745 --> 00:00:55.115
- He who believes and he who does not believe.
- 00:00:55.181 --> 00:00:59.219
- Who does not believe. just as there are those two
- 00:00:59.285 --> 00:01:00.286
- Just as there are those two types of people in this chapter,
- 00:01:00.353 --> 00:01:02.889
- Types of people in this chapter, there's only two types
- 00:01:02.956 --> 00:01:03.556
- There's only two types of people in this room.
- 00:01:03.623 --> 00:01:04.991
- Of people in this room. there's only two types of people
- 00:01:05.058 --> 00:01:06.292
- There's only two types of people who are watching today.
- 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:07.527
- Who are watching today. doesn't matter where
- 00:01:07.594 --> 00:01:08.294
- Doesn't matter where you're watching from,
- 00:01:08.361 --> 00:01:09.229
- You're watching from, how far you are
- 00:01:09.295 --> 00:01:10.130
- How far you are from this sanctuary.
- 00:01:10.196 --> 00:01:11.297
- From this sanctuary. there's only two kinds:
- 00:01:11.364 --> 00:01:12.999
- There's only two kinds: believers and nonbelievers.
- 00:01:13.066 --> 00:01:16.302
- Believers and nonbelievers. you can't tell me,
- 00:01:16.369 --> 00:01:17.337
- You can't tell me, "well, i'm figuring it out.
- 00:01:17.403 --> 00:01:18.505
- "well, i'm figuring it out. give me some time.
- 00:01:18.571 --> 00:01:19.372
- Give me some time. it's a process."
- 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.140
- It's a process." no, its not a process,
- 00:01:20.206 --> 00:01:21.141
- No, its not a process, it's a decision.
- 00:01:21.207 --> 00:01:21.941
- It's a decision. you're either in or you're out.
- 00:01:22.008 --> 00:01:25.645
- You're either in or you're out. and here's what the bible
- 00:01:25.712 --> 00:01:26.579
- And here's what the bible has to say about believers.
- 00:01:26.646 --> 00:01:29.649
- Has to say about believers. 1 john 5, it says,
- 00:01:29.716 --> 00:01:31.451
- 1 john 5, it says, "believers have a testimony."
- 00:01:31.518 --> 00:01:34.621
- "believers have a testimony." it says,
- 00:01:34.687 --> 00:01:35.088
- It says, "there is a witness
- 00:01:35.155 --> 00:01:35.955
- "there is a witness within them."
- 00:01:36.022 --> 00:01:37.891
- Within them." 1 john 5:10,
- 00:01:37.957 --> 00:01:39.325
- 1 john 5:10, "he who believes in the son
- 00:01:39.392 --> 00:01:41.094
- "he who believes in the son of god has
- 00:01:41.161 --> 00:01:42.295
- Of god has the witness in himself."
- 00:01:42.362 --> 00:01:45.865
- The witness in himself." that's powerful,
- 00:01:45.932 --> 00:01:47.600
- That's powerful, especially when you understand
- 00:01:47.667 --> 00:01:48.801
- Especially when you understand who the witness is.
- 00:01:48.868 --> 00:01:50.837
- Who the witness is. hebrews 4 calls him
- 00:01:50.904 --> 00:01:52.872
- Hebrews 4 calls him a great high priest.
- 00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:54.274
- A great high priest. his name is jesus,
- 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:55.775
- His name is jesus, the son of the living god.
- 00:01:55.842 --> 00:01:57.610
- The son of the living god. he makes it possible
- 00:01:57.677 --> 00:01:59.145
- He makes it possible for you and i to go boldly
- 00:01:59.212 --> 00:02:01.514
- For you and i to go boldly into the throne room
- 00:02:01.581 --> 00:02:02.916
- Into the throne room and find grace and mercy
- 00:02:02.982 --> 00:02:04.851
- And find grace and mercy in our hour of need
- 00:02:04.918 --> 00:02:06.152
- In our hour of need according to hebrews 4:15-16.
- 00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:09.255
- According to hebrews 4:15-16. i have a testimony today
- 00:02:09.322 --> 00:02:11.224

- And it's dangerous for nonbelievers.
- 00:03:10.450 --> 00:03:13.019
- For nonbelievers. 1 john 5:10,
- 00:03:13.086 --> 00:03:14.454
- 1 john 5:10, "he who does not believe
- 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.123
- "he who does not believe has made him a liar."
- 00:03:17.190 --> 00:03:20.860
- Has made him a liar." when you don't believe
- 00:03:20.927 --> 00:03:22.795
- When you don't believe god at his word,
- 00:03:22.862 --> 00:03:24.697
- God at his word, you're looking up into heavenly
- 00:03:24.764 --> 00:03:25.965
- You're looking up into heavenly places and you're not going
- 00:03:26.032 --> 00:03:27.066
- Places and you're not going boldly into the throne room.
- 00:03:27.133 --> 00:03:28.401
- Boldly into the throne room. you're saying,
- 00:03:28.468 --> 00:03:28.968
- You're saying, "god, i don't --
- 00:03:29.035 --> 00:03:30.069
- "god, i don't -- i think you're a liar.
- 00:03:30.136 --> 00:03:32.939
- I think you're a liar. i don't believe you."
- 00:03:33.006 --> 00:03:36.009
- I don't believe you." now, i know we've got
- 00:03:36.075 --> 00:03:36.943
- Now, i know we've got several states and several
- 00:03:37.010 --> 00:03:39.145
- Several states and several nations watching,
- 00:03:39.212 --> 00:03:41.214
- Nations watching, but i'm gonna take you down
- 00:03:41.281 --> 00:03:42.081
- But i'm gonna take you down to texas for a little while.
- 00:03:42.148 --> 00:03:45.151
- To texas for a little while. where i grew up in texas,
- 00:03:45.218 --> 00:03:46.352
- Where i grew up in texas, if you had the courage
- 00:03:46.419 --> 00:03:47.487
- If you had the courage to call somebody a liar,
- 00:03:47.553 --> 00:03:50.456
- To call somebody a liar, you better enter into
- 00:03:50.523 --> 00:03:51.624
- You better enter into the laying of hands ministry
- 00:03:51.691 --> 00:03:53.826
- The laying of hands ministry pretty quick because
- 00:03:53.893 --> 00:03:56.596
- Pretty quick because around these parts,
- 00:03:56.663 --> 00:03:57.730
- Around these parts, we call those fighting words.
- 00:03:57.797 --> 00:04:01.668
- We call those fighting words. and what happens whenever you
- 00:04:01.734 --> 00:04:02.935
- And what happens whenever you choose to not believe in god,
- 00:04:03.002 --> 00:04:06.706
- Choose to not believe in god, you do not have the testimony
- 00:04:06.773 --> 00:04:08.541
- You do not have the testimony that the believer has.
- 00:04:08.608 --> 00:04:10.576
- That the believer has. when you refuse
- 00:04:10.643 --> 00:04:11.344
- When you refuse to believe in god,
- 00:04:11.411 --> 00:04:12.312
- To believe in god, when you refuse to take god
- 00:04:12.378 --> 00:04:13.646
- When you refuse to take god at his word,
- 00:04:13.713 --> 00:04:14.480
- At his word, when you refuse to believe that
- 00:04:14.547 --> 00:04:16.082
- When you refuse to believe that jesus christ is the son of god,
- 00:04:16.149 --> 00:04:19.185
- Jesus christ is the son of god, it's just like you saying,
- 00:04:19.252 --> 00:04:20.186
- It's just like you saying, "god, you're lying."
- 00:04:20.253 --> 00:04:23.056
- "god, you're lying." and when you
- 00:04:23.122 --> 00:04:23.656
- And when you call god a liar,
- 00:04:23.723 --> 00:04:24.624
- Call god a liar, you don't qualify
- 00:04:24.691 --> 00:04:25.558
- You don't qualify for the blessings that
- 00:04:25.625 --> 00:04:26.392
- For the blessings that the bible has for you.
- 00:04:26.459 --> 00:04:28.895
- The bible has for you. "god, i don't believe
- 00:04:28.961 --> 00:04:29.862
- "god, i don't believe what you said about,
- 00:04:29.929 --> 00:04:30.763
- What you said about, 'ask and you shall receive,'
- 00:04:30.830 --> 00:04:32.265
- 'ask and you shall receive,' so i'm not gonna ask."
- 00:04:32.332 --> 00:04:33.833
- So i'm not gonna ask." well, guess what?
- 00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:34.467
- Well, guess what? then you won't receive.
- 00:04:34.534 --> 00:04:36.069
- Then you won't receive. "god, i don't believe
- 00:04:36.135 --> 00:04:37.070
- "god, i don't believe what you said about,
- 00:04:37.136 --> 00:04:37.870
- What you said about, 'give and it shall
- 00:04:37.937 --> 00:04:38.604
- 'give and it shall be given unto you,'
- 00:04:38.671 --> 00:04:39.205
- Be given unto you,' so i'm not gonna give."
- 00:04:39.272 --> 00:04:40.206
- So i'm not gonna give." well, guess what?
- 00:04:40.273 --> 00:04:40.940
- Well, guess what? you don't get pressed down,
- 00:04:41.007 --> 00:04:42.208
- You don't get pressed down, shaken together,
- 00:04:42.275 --> 00:04:42.875
- Shaken together, and running over until
- 00:04:42.942 --> 00:04:43.776
- And running over until you're obedient
- 00:04:43.843 --> 00:04:44.644
- You're obedient to do what his word said.
- 00:04:44.711 --> 00:04:47.847
- To do what his word said. "god, i don't believe what you
- 00:04:47.914 --> 00:04:48.614
- "god, i don't believe what you said about the prayer of faith
- 00:04:48.681 --> 00:04:49.849
- Said about the prayer of faith will save the sick
- 00:04:49.916 --> 00:04:50.583
- Will save the sick and the lord will raise him up,
- 00:04:50.650 --> 00:04:51.718
- And the lord will raise him up, so i'm not gonna call
- 00:04:51.784 --> 00:04:52.719
- So i'm not gonna call for the elders of the church,
- 00:04:52.785 --> 00:04:53.686
- For the elders of the church, and i'm not gonna be
- 00:04:53.753 --> 00:04:54.554
- And i'm not gonna be anointed with oil,
- 00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:55.388
- Anointed with oil, and i'm not gonna pray
- 00:04:55.455 --> 00:04:56.255
- And i'm not gonna pray over my sickness."
- 00:04:56.322 --> 00:04:57.156
- Over my sickness." well, guess what?
- 00:04:57.223 --> 00:04:57.857
- Well, guess what? you get to keep sickness.
- 00:04:57.924 --> 00:05:02.261
- You get to keep sickness. whenever you don't
- 00:05:02.328 --> 00:05:02.929
- Whenever you don't believe in god,
- 00:05:02.995 --> 00:05:04.163
- Believe in god, you don't tarnish his majesty,
- 00:05:04.230 --> 00:05:06.432
- You don't tarnish his majesty, you don't pull him
- 00:05:06.499 --> 00:05:07.567
- You don't pull him off the throne,
- 00:05:07.633 --> 00:05:08.534
- Off the throne, you don't make him try
- 00:05:08.601 --> 00:05:10.136
- You don't make him try to come down here and prove
- 00:05:10.203 --> 00:05:11.671
- To come down here and prove himself to you.
- 00:05:11.738 --> 00:05:12.705
- Himself to you. what you do when you don't
- 00:05:12.772 --> 00:05:14.073
- What you do when you don't believe in god is you disqualify
- 00:05:14.140 --> 00:05:16.142
- Believe in god is you disqualify yourself from receiving anything
- 00:05:16.209 --> 00:05:18.344
- Yourself from receiving anything that god has for you
- 00:05:18.411 --> 00:05:20.780
- That god has for you and that's dangerous.
- 00:05:20.847 --> 00:05:23.716
- And that's dangerous. how dangerous is it?
- 00:05:23.783 --> 00:05:25.118
- How dangerous is it? 1 john 5:12.
- 00:05:25.184 --> 00:05:26.819
- 1 john 5:12. it says,
- 00:05:26.886 --> 00:05:27.387
- It says, "he who has the son,"
- 00:05:27.453 --> 00:05:29.622
- "he who has the son," which means you believe,
- 00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:31.624
- Which means you believe, "has life."
- 00:05:31.691 --> 00:05:34.427
- "has life." and then it says,
- 00:05:34.494 --> 00:05:35.061
- And then it says, "he who does not have the son,
- 00:05:35.128 --> 00:05:37.397
- "he who does not have the son, who does not believe,
- 00:05:37.463 --> 00:05:39.165
- Who does not believe, does not have life."
- 00:05:39.232 --> 00:05:41.601
- Does not have life." you'd better believe it,
- 00:05:41.667 --> 00:05:44.036
- You'd better believe it, because it's a matter
- 00:05:44.103 --> 00:05:44.804
- Because it's a matter of life and death.
- 00:05:44.871 --> 00:05:48.274
- Of life and death. it's not enough
- 00:05:48.341 --> 00:05:49.008
- It's not enough to say you believe,
- 00:05:49.075 --> 00:05:50.309
- To say you believe, he expects you to behave
- 00:05:50.376 --> 00:05:52.412
- He expects you to behave like you believe.
- 00:05:52.478 --> 00:05:55.081
- Like you believe. this is one of the challenges
- 00:05:55.148 --> 00:05:56.048
- This is one of the challenges we face in our lives.
- 00:05:56.115 --> 00:05:58.918
- We face in our lives. what we say,
- 00:05:58.985 --> 00:05:59.952
- What we say, we often don't do.
- 00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:01.187
- We often don't do. and until your behavior
- 00:06:01.254 --> 00:06:02.655
- And until your behavior and your beliefs line up,
- 00:06:02.722 --> 00:06:04.056
- And your beliefs line up, then you yourself are deceived.
- 00:06:04.123 --> 00:06:10.596
- Then you yourself are deceived. here's what the bible
- 00:06:10.663 --> 00:06:11.230
- Here's what the bible says in malachi 3:6.
- 00:06:11.297 --> 00:06:14.167
- Says in malachi 3:6. "i am the lord,
- 00:06:14.233 --> 00:06:14.934
- "i am the lord, i do not change."
- 00:06:15.001 --> 00:06:17.637
- I do not change." and some people wanna say,
- 00:06:17.703 --> 00:06:18.404
- And some people wanna say, "well, that's god, the father."
- 00:06:18.471 --> 00:06:19.772
- "well, that's god, the father." but here's what it says
- 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:20.606
- But here's what it says in hebrews 13:8,
- 00:06:20.673 --> 00:06:22.208
- In hebrews 13:8, "jesus christ
- 00:06:22.275 --> 00:06:24.444
- "jesus christ is the same yesterday,
- 00:06:24.510 --> 00:06:27.146
- Is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
- 00:06:27.213 --> 00:06:30.416
- Today, and forever." so, if they don't change,
- 00:06:30.483 --> 00:06:32.819
- So, if they don't change, then you need to understand
- 00:06:32.885 --> 00:06:34.153
- Then you need to understand the commitment that
- 00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:34.987
- The commitment that he required of his disciples
- 00:06:35.054 --> 00:06:36.522
- He required of his disciples around the sea of galilee
- 00:06:36.589 --> 00:06:37.857
- Around the sea of galilee is the same commitment
- 00:06:37.924 --> 00:06:39.058
- Is the same commitment that he requires
- 00:06:39.125 --> 00:06:39.826
- That he requires of cornerstone church
- 00:06:39.892 --> 00:06:40.660
- Of cornerstone church here this morning.
- 00:06:40.726 --> 00:06:42.929
- Here this morning. we're at a very dangerous
- 00:06:42.995 --> 00:06:43.863
- We're at a very dangerous time in church history.
- 00:06:43.930 --> 00:06:45.531
- Time in church history. this is the laodicean era.
- 00:06:45.598 --> 00:06:47.667
- This is the laodicean era. this is the time when
- 00:06:47.733 --> 00:06:48.935
- This is the time when the church is neither hot,
- 00:06:49.001 --> 00:06:50.770
- The church is neither hot, meaning that they'll
- 00:06:50.837 --> 00:06:51.337
- Meaning that they'll take a stand,
- 00:06:51.404 --> 00:06:52.605
- Take a stand, nor are they cold,
- 00:06:52.672 --> 00:06:53.840
- Nor are they cold, meaning that they don't wanna
- 00:06:53.906 --> 00:06:55.508
- Meaning that they don't wanna endorse the dark side.
- 00:06:55.575 --> 00:06:57.677
- Endorse the dark side. we just wanna stay
- 00:06:57.743 --> 00:06:58.211
- We just wanna stay right in the middle.
- 00:06:58.277 --> 00:07:00.179
- Right in the middle. but jesus said,
- 00:07:00.246 --> 00:07:00.880
- But jesus said, "because you're neither,
- 00:07:00.947 --> 00:07:02.982
- "because you're neither, you're not hot,
- 00:07:03.049 --> 00:07:03.850
- You're not hot, you're not for me,
- 00:07:03.916 --> 00:07:05.084
- You're not for me, and you're not cold,
- 00:07:05.151 --> 00:07:05.785
- And you're not cold, you're not against me.
- 00:07:05.852 --> 00:07:06.953
- You're not against me. i'm gonna spew you
- 00:07:07.019 --> 00:07:08.054
- I'm gonna spew you out of my mouth."
- 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.021
- [applause]
- 00:07:10.690 --> 00:07:13.659
- And what you need to understand
- 00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:14.861
- And what you need to understand is that we live in a world
- 00:07:14.927 --> 00:07:16.395
- Is that we live in a world where people who call
- 00:07:16.462 --> 00:07:17.163
- Where people who call themselves christians
- 00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:18.231
- Themselves christians and followers of christ,
- 00:07:18.297 --> 00:07:19.398
- And followers of christ, they want to adjust
- 00:07:19.465 --> 00:07:21.067
- They want to adjust the unadjustable.
- 00:07:21.133 --> 00:07:22.101
- The unadjustable. they want to expand
- 00:07:22.168 --> 00:07:23.769
- They want to expand the solid rock that
- 00:07:23.836 --> 00:07:24.971
- The solid rock that is a standard of truth.
- 00:07:25.037 --> 00:07:27.273
- Is a standard of truth. they want to evolve
- 00:07:27.340 --> 00:07:28.608
- They want to evolve what cannot be broken.
- 00:07:28.674 --> 00:07:31.744
- What cannot be broken. read what the bible says,
- 00:07:31.811 --> 00:07:33.145
- Read what the bible says, "the grass may wither
- 00:07:33.212 --> 00:07:34.480
- "the grass may wither and the flower may fade,
- 00:07:34.547 --> 00:07:36.015
- And the flower may fade, but the word of the lord,
- 00:07:36.082 --> 00:07:37.483
- But the word of the lord, it endures forever."
- 00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:39.752
- It endures forever." jesus said,
- 00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:40.386
- Jesus said, "heaven and earth will
- 00:07:40.453 --> 00:07:41.153
- "heaven and earth will pass away but my word will,
- 00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:43.289
- Pass away but my word will, by no means, pass away."
- 00:07:43.356 --> 00:07:44.690
- By no means, pass away." he settled the argument when,
- 00:07:44.757 --> 00:07:46.158
- He settled the argument when, in john 17,
- 00:07:46.225 --> 00:07:47.360
- In john 17, he said,
- 00:07:47.426 --> 00:07:47.960
- He said, "your word,
- 00:07:48.027 --> 00:07:48.961
- "your word, oh lord, is truth."
- 00:07:49.028 --> 00:07:52.231
- Oh lord, is truth." church, you have to understand
- 00:07:52.298 --> 00:07:54.166
- Church, you have to understand that this book is still
- 00:07:54.233 --> 00:07:55.535
- That this book is still the standard of truth
- 00:07:55.601 --> 00:07:56.669
- The standard of truth in heaven above,
- 00:07:56.736 --> 00:07:57.803
- In heaven above, and it should be
- 00:07:57.870 --> 00:07:58.671
- And it should be in your life today.
- 00:07:58.738 --> 00:07:59.839
- In your life today. i don't care what
- 00:07:59.906 --> 00:08:00.907
- I don't care what the world says has changed,
- 00:08:00.973 --> 00:08:02.842
- The world says has changed, my god will not change.
- 00:08:02.909 --> 00:08:04.710
- My god will not change. not now, not ever.
- 00:08:04.777 --> 00:08:06.145
- Not now, not ever. he is the same yesterday,
- 00:08:06.212 --> 00:08:07.980
- He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- 00:08:08.047 --> 00:08:09.215
- Today, and forever. generation to generation,
- 00:08:09.282 --> 00:08:11.050
- Generation to generation, this truth endures
- 00:08:11.117 --> 00:08:12.285
- This truth endures when everything else fails.
- 00:08:12.351 --> 00:08:13.586
- [applause]
- 00:08:14.053 --> 00:08:18.324
- When you look at the power
- 00:08:18.824 --> 00:08:19.692
- When you look at the power of believing in his word
- 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:21.227
- Of believing in his word and you begin
- 00:08:21.294 --> 00:08:21.794
- And you begin to behave like you believe,
- 00:08:21.861 --> 00:08:23.763
- To behave like you believe, then the bible says whatever
- 00:08:23.829 --> 00:08:25.131
- Then the bible says whatever you ask in faith,
- 00:08:25.197 --> 00:08:26.699
- You ask in faith, you'll have it.
- 00:08:26.766 --> 00:08:28.601
- You'll have it. jesus said,
- 00:08:28.668 --> 00:08:29.101
- Jesus said, "whatever you bind
- 00:08:29.168 --> 00:08:30.469
- "whatever you bind will be bound.
- 00:08:30.536 --> 00:08:31.837
- Will be bound. whatever you loose,
- 00:08:31.904 --> 00:08:32.905
- Whatever you loose, will be loosed."
- 00:08:32.972 --> 00:08:34.507
- Will be loosed." he told the disciples,
- 00:08:34.574 --> 00:08:35.341
- He told the disciples, "when you speak to a mountain,
- 00:08:35.408 --> 00:08:36.943
- "when you speak to a mountain, it'll be cast into the sea
- 00:08:37.009 --> 00:08:38.644
- It'll be cast into the sea because all things are possible
- 00:08:38.711 --> 00:08:41.213
- Because all things are possible to them that believe."
- 00:08:41.280 --> 00:08:43.983
- To them that believe." now, on the contrary,
- 00:08:44.050 --> 00:08:46.085
- Now, on the contrary, nothing is available
- 00:08:46.152 --> 00:08:47.253
- Nothing is available to the doubter.
- 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.322
- To the doubter. nothing is available
- 00:08:49.388 --> 00:08:50.222
- Nothing is available to the nonbeliever
- 00:08:50.289 --> 00:08:51.123
- To the nonbeliever or the skeptic.
- 00:08:51.190 --> 00:08:52.959
- Or the skeptic. james 1:6-7 says,
- 00:08:53.025 --> 00:08:55.161
- James 1:6-7 says, "he who doubts is like a wave
- 00:08:55.227 --> 00:08:56.596
- "he who doubts is like a wave that's tossed by the wind.
- 00:08:56.662 --> 00:08:58.397
- That's tossed by the wind. he'll receive nothing.
- 00:08:58.464 --> 00:09:02.034
- He'll receive nothing. he's double minded
- 00:09:02.101 --> 00:09:02.969
- He's double minded and unstable in all
- 00:09:03.035 --> 00:09:04.103
- And unstable in all of his ways."
- 00:09:04.170 --> 00:09:06.005
- Of his ways." why is he double minded?
- 00:09:06.072 --> 00:09:07.106
- Why is he double minded? because with his mouth,
- 00:09:07.173 --> 00:09:08.140
- Because with his mouth, he says he believes,
- 00:09:08.207 --> 00:09:09.308
- He says he believes, but with his behavior,
- 00:09:09.375 --> 00:09:10.376
- But with his behavior, he doesn't believe.
- 00:09:10.443 --> 00:09:13.546
- He doesn't believe. with his mouth,
- 00:09:13.613 --> 00:09:14.080
- With his mouth, he speaks faith,
- 00:09:14.146 --> 00:09:15.181
- He speaks faith, but with his actions,
- 00:09:15.247 --> 00:09:17.183
- But with his actions, he doesn't act in faith.
- 00:09:17.249 --> 00:09:19.318
- He doesn't act in faith. so, he's got two minds
- 00:09:19.385 --> 00:09:20.486
- So, he's got two minds and god says,
- 00:09:20.553 --> 00:09:21.153
- And god says, "i'm not gonna endorse
- 00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:22.021
- "i'm not gonna endorse that kind of behavior.
- 00:09:22.088 --> 00:09:22.855
- That kind of behavior. you get nothing."
- 00:09:22.922 --> 00:09:25.391
- You get nothing." when you ask god for something
- 00:09:25.458 --> 00:09:26.959
- When you ask god for something and don't believe
- 00:09:27.026 --> 00:09:27.860
- And don't believe that god is able,
- 00:09:27.927 --> 00:09:28.861
- That god is able, you make god try and prove
- 00:09:28.928 --> 00:09:30.630
- You make god try and prove himself when he's already
- 00:09:30.696 --> 00:09:31.831
- Himself when he's already done enough to do that.
- 00:09:31.897 --> 00:09:35.401
- Done enough to do that. read what matthew 13:58 says.
- 00:09:35.468 --> 00:09:40.339
- Read what matthew 13:58 says. it says that jesus
- 00:09:40.406 --> 00:09:41.073
- It says that jesus was in a certain place
- 00:09:41.140 --> 00:09:43.909
- Was in a certain place and he could not
- 00:09:43.976 --> 00:09:44.543
- And he could not do mighty works there
- 00:09:44.610 --> 00:09:47.013
- Do mighty works there because of their unbelief.
- 00:09:47.079 --> 00:09:51.350
- Because of their unbelief. it doesn't say that jesus
- 00:09:51.417 --> 00:09:52.518
- It doesn't say that jesus was in a certain place
- 00:09:52.585 --> 00:09:53.586
- Was in a certain place and jesus was having
- 00:09:53.653 --> 00:09:54.487
- And jesus was having an off day
- 00:09:54.553 --> 00:09:55.655
- An off day so he couldn't do anything.
- 00:09:55.721 --> 00:09:58.157
- So he couldn't do anything. it says that the power
- 00:09:58.224 --> 00:09:59.392
- It says that the power and the presence of the miracle
- 00:09:59.458 --> 00:10:00.559
- And the presence of the miracle working son of god,
- 00:10:00.626 --> 00:10:01.861
- Working son of god, the word made flesh
- 00:10:01.927 --> 00:10:02.895
- The word made flesh was at a certain place,
- 00:10:02.962 --> 00:10:04.397
- Was at a certain place, but the word made flesh
- 00:10:04.463 --> 00:10:05.398
- But the word made flesh could not do anything
- 00:10:05.464 --> 00:10:07.333
- Could not do anything because the people
- 00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:08.401
- Because the people who were there with him
- 00:10:08.467 --> 00:10:09.235
- Who were there with him didn't believe in him.
- 00:10:09.301 --> 00:10:11.504

- How many times has he been there with us,
- 00:10:18.177 --> 00:10:19.078
- He been there with us, and it wasn't that
- 00:10:19.145 --> 00:10:20.212
- And it wasn't that he could not bless us,
- 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.547
- He could not bless us, it's that our unbelief kept
- 00:10:21.614 --> 00:10:22.915
- It's that our unbelief kept him from being the blessing
- 00:10:22.982 --> 00:10:24.316
- Him from being the blessing that god sent him to be.
- 00:10:24.383 --> 00:10:26.819

- Power are present, and yet it's our unbelief
- 00:10:29.689 --> 00:10:31.257
- And yet it's our unbelief that keeps him from achieving
- 00:10:31.323 --> 00:10:32.658
- That keeps him from achieving what needs to be done.
- 00:10:32.725 --> 00:10:34.527
- What needs to be done. you cannot ask god
- 00:10:34.593 --> 00:10:36.462
- You cannot ask god to prove himself.
- 00:10:36.529 --> 00:10:37.797
- To prove himself. he has already done it time
- 00:10:37.863 --> 00:10:40.166
