Pastor matt hagee: john 5
00:00:15.342 --> 00:00:17.945
Pastor matt hagee: john 5 tells us very quickly
00:00:18.012 --> 00:00:19.180
Tells us very quickly and clearly,
00:00:19.246 --> 00:00:20.081
And clearly, the power of belief
00:00:20.147 --> 00:00:22.116
The power of belief and the danger of unbelief.
00:00:22.183 --> 00:00:25.453
And the danger of unbelief. you have to understand that
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:26.787
You have to understand that there are consequences to both.
00:00:26.854 --> 00:00:30.257
There are consequences to both. and truly, in this world,
00:00:30.324 --> 00:00:31.525
And truly, in this world, it really doesn't matter
00:00:31.592 --> 00:00:32.393
It really doesn't matter what the topic is,
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:33.427
What the topic is, there's only
00:00:33.494 --> 00:00:33.994
There's only two types of people.
00:00:34.061 --> 00:00:35.096
Two types of people. there are
00:00:35.162 --> 00:00:35.663
There are believers and nonbelievers.
00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:38.966
Believers and nonbelievers. and when you make your decision
00:00:39.033 --> 00:00:40.167
And when you make your decision about whether you believe
00:00:40.234 --> 00:00:41.235
About whether you believe or you don't believe,
00:00:41.302 --> 00:00:42.236
Or you don't believe, the next thing that
00:00:42.303 --> 00:00:43.003
The next thing that will happen is your behaviors
00:00:43.070 --> 00:00:44.572
Will happen is your behaviors will be based
00:00:44.638 --> 00:00:45.473
Will be based on what you believe.
00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:48.375
On what you believe. 1 john 5 describes these
00:00:48.442 --> 00:00:50.511
1 john 5 describes these two types of people:
00:00:50.578 --> 00:00:52.680
Two types of people: he who believes and he
00:00:52.746 --> 00:00:55.116
He who believes and he who does not believe.
00:00:55.182 --> 00:00:59.220
Who does not believe. just as there are those two
00:00:59.286 --> 00:01:00.287
Just as there are those two types of people in this chapter,
00:01:00.354 --> 00:01:02.890
Types of people in this chapter, there's only two types
00:01:02.957 --> 00:01:03.557
There's only two types of people in this room.
00:01:03.624 --> 00:01:04.992
Of people in this room. there's only two types of people
00:01:05.059 --> 00:01:06.293
There's only two types of people who are watching today.
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:07.528
Who are watching today. doesn't matter where
00:01:07.595 --> 00:01:08.295
Doesn't matter where you're watching from,
00:01:08.362 --> 00:01:09.230
You're watching from, how far you are
00:01:09.296 --> 00:01:10.131
How far you are from this sanctuary.
00:01:10.197 --> 00:01:11.298
From this sanctuary. there's only two kinds:
00:01:11.365 --> 00:01:13.000
There's only two kinds: believers and nonbelievers.
00:01:13.067 --> 00:01:16.303
Believers and nonbelievers. you can't tell me,
00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:17.338
You can't tell me, "well, i'm figuring it out.
00:01:17.404 --> 00:01:18.506
"well, i'm figuring it out. give me some time.
00:01:18.572 --> 00:01:19.373
Give me some time. it's a process."
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:20.141
It's a process." no, its not a process,
00:01:20.207 --> 00:01:21.142
No, its not a process, it's a decision.
00:01:21.208 --> 00:01:21.942
It's a decision. you're either in or you're out.
00:01:22.009 --> 00:01:25.646
You're either in or you're out. and here's what the bible
00:01:25.713 --> 00:01:26.580
And here's what the bible has to say about believers.
00:01:26.647 --> 00:01:29.650
Has to say about believers. 1 john 5, it says,
00:01:29.717 --> 00:01:31.452
1 john 5, it says, "believers have a testimony."
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.622
"believers have a testimony." it says,
00:01:34.688 --> 00:01:35.089
It says, "there is a witness
00:01:35.156 --> 00:01:35.956
"there is a witness within them."
00:01:36.023 --> 00:01:37.892
Within them." 1 john 5:10,
00:01:37.958 --> 00:01:39.326
1 john 5:10, "he who believes in the son
00:01:39.393 --> 00:01:41.095
"he who believes in the son of god has
00:01:41.162 --> 00:01:42.296
Of god has the witness in himself."
00:01:42.363 --> 00:01:45.866
The witness in himself." that's powerful,
00:01:45.933 --> 00:01:47.601
That's powerful, especially when you understand
00:01:47.668 --> 00:01:48.802
Especially when you understand who the witness is.
00:01:48.869 --> 00:01:50.838
Who the witness is. hebrews 4 calls him
00:01:50.905 --> 00:01:52.873
Hebrews 4 calls him a great high priest.
00:01:52.940 --> 00:01:54.275
A great high priest. his name is jesus,
00:01:54.341 --> 00:01:55.776
His name is jesus, the son of the living god.
00:01:55.843 --> 00:01:57.611
The son of the living god. he makes it possible
00:01:57.678 --> 00:01:59.146
He makes it possible for you and i to go boldly
00:01:59.213 --> 00:02:01.515
For you and i to go boldly into the throne room
00:02:01.582 --> 00:02:02.917
Into the throne room and find grace and mercy
00:02:02.983 --> 00:02:04.852
And find grace and mercy in our hour of need
00:02:04.919 --> 00:02:06.153
In our hour of need according to hebrews 4:15-16.
00:02:06.220 --> 00:02:09.256
According to hebrews 4:15-16. i have a testimony today
00:02:09.323 --> 00:02:11.225
I have a testimony today and his name is jesus.
00:02:11.292 --> 00:02:12.927
And his name is jesus. because i believe in him,
00:02:12.993 --> 00:02:15.095
Because i believe in him, he's up in heavenly places
00:02:15.162 --> 00:02:16.564
He's up in heavenly places right now talking about
00:02:16.630 --> 00:02:17.998
Right now talking about me down here on earth.
00:02:18.065 --> 00:02:19.900
Me down here on earth. his word says that his blood
00:02:19.967 --> 00:02:22.503
His word says that his blood speaks a better word.
00:02:22.570 --> 00:02:23.971
Speaks a better word. what does that mean?
00:02:24.038 --> 00:02:24.972
What does that mean? what i don't know, he does.
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.907
What i don't know, he does. what i can't do, he can.
00:02:26.974 --> 00:02:28.976
What i can't do, he can. so, right now,
00:02:29.043 --> 00:02:30.311
So, right now, he's up in heavenly places
00:02:30.377 --> 00:02:31.512
He's up in heavenly places talking about battles
00:02:31.579 --> 00:02:33.247
Talking about battles that i haven't fought,
00:02:33.314 --> 00:02:34.415
That i haven't fought, but he's already gonna
00:02:34.481 --> 00:02:35.349
But he's already gonna give me the victory.
00:02:35.416 --> 00:02:36.383
Give me the victory. talking about mountains
00:02:36.450 --> 00:02:37.785
Talking about mountains that i haven't climbed,
00:02:37.851 --> 00:02:38.986

00:02:39.053 --> 00:02:39.620
But he's already gonna move them.
00:02:39.687 --> 00:02:40.454
Gonna move them. talking about problems
00:02:40.521 --> 00:02:42.189
Talking about problems i haven't solved,
00:02:42.256 --> 00:02:42.923
I haven't solved, but he's already
00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:43.624
But he's already got the solution.
00:02:43.691 --> 00:02:44.792
Got the solution. he's already binding whatever
00:02:44.858 --> 00:02:46.627
He's already binding whatever the enemy has put
00:02:46.694 --> 00:02:47.828
The enemy has put in front of me.
00:02:47.895 --> 00:02:48.629
In front of me. he's already blessing
00:02:48.696 --> 00:02:49.930
He's already blessing whatever i put my hands to.
00:02:49.997 --> 00:02:51.665
Whatever i put my hands to. he's already doing more
00:02:51.732 --> 00:02:52.900
He's already doing more than i can ask,
00:02:52.967 --> 00:02:53.834
Than i can ask, think, or imagine.
00:02:53.901 --> 00:02:55.069
Think, or imagine. why?
00:02:55.135 --> 00:02:55.869
Why? because i believe.
00:02:55.936 --> 00:02:57.238
[applause]
00:02:57.972 --> 00:03:02.977
That's powerful.
00:03:03.444 --> 00:03:06.180
That's powerful. but go read the rest
00:03:06.247 --> 00:03:06.880
But go read the rest of the verse.
00:03:06.947 --> 00:03:09.483
Of the verse. and it's dangerous
00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:10.384
And it's dangerous for nonbelievers.
00:03:10.451 --> 00:03:13.020
For nonbelievers. 1 john 5:10,
00:03:13.087 --> 00:03:14.455
1 john 5:10, "he who does not believe
00:03:14.521 --> 00:03:17.124
"he who does not believe has made him a liar."
00:03:17.191 --> 00:03:20.861
Has made him a liar." when you don't believe
00:03:20.928 --> 00:03:22.796
When you don't believe god at his word,
00:03:22.863 --> 00:03:24.698
God at his word, you're looking up into heavenly
00:03:24.765 --> 00:03:25.966
You're looking up into heavenly places and you're not going
00:03:26.033 --> 00:03:27.067
Places and you're not going boldly into the throne room.
00:03:27.134 --> 00:03:28.402
Boldly into the throne room. you're saying,
00:03:28.469 --> 00:03:28.969
You're saying, "god, i don't --
00:03:29.036 --> 00:03:30.070
"god, i don't -- i think you're a liar.
00:03:30.137 --> 00:03:32.940
I think you're a liar. i don't believe you."
00:03:33.007 --> 00:03:36.010
I don't believe you." now, i know we've got
00:03:36.076 --> 00:03:36.944
Now, i know we've got several states and several
00:03:37.011 --> 00:03:39.146
Several states and several nations watching,
00:03:39.213 --> 00:03:41.215
Nations watching, but i'm gonna take you down
00:03:41.282 --> 00:03:42.082
But i'm gonna take you down to texas for a little while.
00:03:42.149 --> 00:03:45.152
To texas for a little while. where i grew up in texas,
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:46.353
Where i grew up in texas, if you had the courage
00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:47.488
If you had the courage to call somebody a liar,
00:03:47.554 --> 00:03:50.457
To call somebody a liar, you better enter into
00:03:50.524 --> 00:03:51.625
You better enter into the laying of hands ministry
00:03:51.692 --> 00:03:53.827
The laying of hands ministry pretty quick because
00:03:53.894 --> 00:03:56.597
Pretty quick because around these parts,
00:03:56.664 --> 00:03:57.731
Around these parts, we call those fighting words.
00:03:57.798 --> 00:04:01.669
We call those fighting words. and what happens whenever you
00:04:01.735 --> 00:04:02.936
And what happens whenever you choose to not believe in god,
00:04:03.003 --> 00:04:06.707
Choose to not believe in god, you do not have the testimony
00:04:06.774 --> 00:04:08.542
You do not have the testimony that the believer has.
00:04:08.609 --> 00:04:10.577
That the believer has. when you refuse
00:04:10.644 --> 00:04:11.345
When you refuse to believe in god,
00:04:11.412 --> 00:04:12.313
To believe in god, when you refuse to take god
00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:13.647
When you refuse to take god at his word,
00:04:13.714 --> 00:04:14.481
At his word, when you refuse to believe that
00:04:14.548 --> 00:04:16.083
When you refuse to believe that jesus christ is the son of god,
00:04:16.150 --> 00:04:19.186
Jesus christ is the son of god, it's just like you saying,
00:04:19.253 --> 00:04:20.187
It's just like you saying, "god, you're lying."
00:04:20.254 --> 00:04:23.057
"god, you're lying." and when you
00:04:23.123 --> 00:04:23.657
And when you call god a liar,
00:04:23.724 --> 00:04:24.625
Call god a liar, you don't qualify
00:04:24.692 --> 00:04:25.559
You don't qualify for the blessings that
00:04:25.626 --> 00:04:26.393
For the blessings that the bible has for you.
00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:28.896
The bible has for you. "god, i don't believe
00:04:28.962 --> 00:04:29.863
"god, i don't believe what you said about,
00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:30.764
What you said about, 'ask and you shall receive,'
00:04:30.831 --> 00:04:32.266
'ask and you shall receive,' so i'm not gonna ask."
00:04:32.333 --> 00:04:33.834
So i'm not gonna ask." well, guess what?
00:04:33.901 --> 00:04:34.468
Well, guess what? then you won't receive.
00:04:34.535 --> 00:04:36.070
Then you won't receive. "god, i don't believe
00:04:36.136 --> 00:04:37.071
"god, i don't believe what you said about,
00:04:37.137 --> 00:04:37.871
What you said about, 'give and it shall
00:04:37.938 --> 00:04:38.605
'give and it shall be given unto you,'
00:04:38.672 --> 00:04:39.206
Be given unto you,' so i'm not gonna give."
00:04:39.273 --> 00:04:40.207
So i'm not gonna give." well, guess what?
00:04:40.274 --> 00:04:40.941
Well, guess what? you don't get pressed down,
00:04:41.008 --> 00:04:42.209
You don't get pressed down, shaken together,
00:04:42.276 --> 00:04:42.876
Shaken together, and running over until
00:04:42.943 --> 00:04:43.777
And running over until you're obedient
00:04:43.844 --> 00:04:44.645
You're obedient to do what his word said.
00:04:44.712 --> 00:04:47.848
To do what his word said. "god, i don't believe what you
00:04:47.915 --> 00:04:48.615
"god, i don't believe what you said about the prayer of faith
00:04:48.682 --> 00:04:49.850
Said about the prayer of faith will save the sick
00:04:49.917 --> 00:04:50.584
Will save the sick and the lord will raise him up,
00:04:50.651 --> 00:04:51.719
And the lord will raise him up, so i'm not gonna call
00:04:51.785 --> 00:04:52.720
So i'm not gonna call for the elders of the church,
00:04:52.786 --> 00:04:53.687
For the elders of the church, and i'm not gonna be
00:04:53.754 --> 00:04:54.555
And i'm not gonna be anointed with oil,
00:04:54.621 --> 00:04:55.389
Anointed with oil, and i'm not gonna pray
00:04:55.456 --> 00:04:56.256
And i'm not gonna pray over my sickness."
00:04:56.323 --> 00:04:57.157
Over my sickness." well, guess what?
00:04:57.224 --> 00:04:57.858
Well, guess what? you get to keep sickness.
00:04:57.925 --> 00:05:02.262
You get to keep sickness. whenever you don't
00:05:02.329 --> 00:05:02.930
Whenever you don't believe in god,
00:05:02.996 --> 00:05:04.164
Believe in god, you don't tarnish his majesty,
00:05:04.231 --> 00:05:06.433
You don't tarnish his majesty, you don't pull him
00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:07.568
You don't pull him off the throne,
00:05:07.634 --> 00:05:08.535
Off the throne, you don't make him try
00:05:08.602 --> 00:05:10.137
You don't make him try to come down here and prove
00:05:10.204 --> 00:05:11.672
To come down here and prove himself to you.
00:05:11.739 --> 00:05:12.706
Himself to you. what you do when you don't
00:05:12.773 --> 00:05:14.074
What you do when you don't believe in god is you disqualify
00:05:14.141 --> 00:05:16.143
Believe in god is you disqualify yourself from receiving anything
00:05:16.210 --> 00:05:18.345
Yourself from receiving anything that god has for you
00:05:18.412 --> 00:05:20.781
That god has for you and that's dangerous.
00:05:20.848 --> 00:05:23.717
And that's dangerous. how dangerous is it?
00:05:23.784 --> 00:05:25.119
How dangerous is it? 1 john 5:12.
00:05:25.185 --> 00:05:26.820
1 john 5:12. it says,
00:05:26.887 --> 00:05:27.388
It says, "he who has the son,"
00:05:27.454 --> 00:05:29.623
"he who has the son," which means you believe,
00:05:29.690 --> 00:05:31.625
Which means you believe, "has life."
00:05:31.692 --> 00:05:34.428
"has life." and then it says,
00:05:34.495 --> 00:05:35.062
And then it says, "he who does not have the son,
00:05:35.129 --> 00:05:37.398
"he who does not have the son, who does not believe,
00:05:37.464 --> 00:05:39.166
Who does not believe, does not have life."
00:05:39.233 --> 00:05:41.602
Does not have life." you'd better believe it,
00:05:41.668 --> 00:05:44.037
You'd better believe it, because it's a matter
00:05:44.104 --> 00:05:44.805
Because it's a matter of life and death.
00:05:44.872 --> 00:05:48.275
Of life and death. it's not enough
00:05:48.342 --> 00:05:49.009
It's not enough to say you believe,
00:05:49.076 --> 00:05:50.310
To say you believe, he expects you to behave
00:05:50.377 --> 00:05:52.413
He expects you to behave like you believe.
00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:55.082
Like you believe. this is one of the challenges
00:05:55.149 --> 00:05:56.049
This is one of the challenges we face in our lives.
00:05:56.116 --> 00:05:58.919
We face in our lives. what we say,
00:05:58.986 --> 00:05:59.953
What we say, we often don't do.
00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:01.188
We often don't do. and until your behavior
00:06:01.255 --> 00:06:02.656
And until your behavior and your beliefs line up,
00:06:02.723 --> 00:06:04.057
And your beliefs line up, then you yourself are deceived.
00:06:04.124 --> 00:06:10.597
Then you yourself are deceived. here's what the bible
00:06:10.664 --> 00:06:11.231
Here's what the bible says in malachi 3:6.
00:06:11.298 --> 00:06:14.168
Says in malachi 3:6. "i am the lord,
00:06:14.234 --> 00:06:14.935
"i am the lord, i do not change."
00:06:15.002 --> 00:06:17.638
I do not change." and some people wanna say,
00:06:17.704 --> 00:06:18.405
And some people wanna say, "well, that's god, the father."
00:06:18.472 --> 00:06:19.773
"well, that's god, the father." but here's what it says
00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:20.607
But here's what it says in hebrews 13:8,
00:06:20.674 --> 00:06:22.209
In hebrews 13:8, "jesus christ
00:06:22.276 --> 00:06:24.445
"jesus christ is the same yesterday,
00:06:24.511 --> 00:06:27.147
Is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
00:06:27.214 --> 00:06:30.417
Today, and forever." so, if they don't change,
00:06:30.484 --> 00:06:32.820
So, if they don't change, then you need to understand
00:06:32.886 --> 00:06:34.154
Then you need to understand the commitment that
00:06:34.221 --> 00:06:34.988
The commitment that he required of his disciples
00:06:35.055 --> 00:06:36.523
He required of his disciples around the sea of galilee
00:06:36.590 --> 00:06:37.858
Around the sea of galilee is the same commitment
00:06:37.925 --> 00:06:39.059
Is the same commitment that he requires
00:06:39.126 --> 00:06:39.827
That he requires of cornerstone church
00:06:39.893 --> 00:06:40.661
Of cornerstone church here this morning.
00:06:40.727 --> 00:06:42.930
Here this morning. we're at a very dangerous
00:06:42.996 --> 00:06:43.864
We're at a very dangerous time in church history.
00:06:43.931 --> 00:06:45.532
Time in church history. this is the laodicean era.
00:06:45.599 --> 00:06:47.668
This is the laodicean era. this is the time when
00:06:47.734 --> 00:06:48.936
This is the time when the church is neither hot,
00:06:49.002 --> 00:06:50.771
The church is neither hot, meaning that they'll
00:06:50.838 --> 00:06:51.338
Meaning that they'll take a stand,
00:06:51.405 --> 00:06:52.606
Take a stand, nor are they cold,
00:06:52.673 --> 00:06:53.841
Nor are they cold, meaning that they don't wanna
00:06:53.907 --> 00:06:55.509
Meaning that they don't wanna endorse the dark side.
00:06:55.576 --> 00:06:57.678
Endorse the dark side. we just wanna stay
00:06:57.744 --> 00:06:58.212
We just wanna stay right in the middle.
00:06:58.278 --> 00:07:00.180
Right in the middle. but jesus said,
00:07:00.247 --> 00:07:00.881
But jesus said, "because you're neither,
00:07:00.948 --> 00:07:02.983
"because you're neither, you're not hot,
00:07:03.050 --> 00:07:03.851
You're not hot, you're not for me,
00:07:03.917 --> 00:07:05.085
You're not for me, and you're not cold,
00:07:05.152 --> 00:07:05.786
And you're not cold, you're not against me.
00:07:05.853 --> 00:07:06.954
You're not against me. i'm gonna spew you
00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:08.055
I'm gonna spew you out of my mouth."
00:07:08.121 --> 00:07:09.022
[applause]
00:07:10.691 --> 00:07:13.660
And what you need to understand
00:07:14.061 --> 00:07:14.862
And what you need to understand is that we live in a world
00:07:14.928 --> 00:07:16.396
Is that we live in a world where people who call
00:07:16.463 --> 00:07:17.164
Where people who call themselves christians
00:07:17.231 --> 00:07:18.232
Themselves christians and followers of christ,
00:07:18.298 --> 00:07:19.399
And followers of christ, they want to adjust
00:07:19.466 --> 00:07:21.068
They want to adjust the unadjustable.
00:07:21.134 --> 00:07:22.102
The unadjustable. they want to expand
00:07:22.169 --> 00:07:23.770
They want to expand the solid rock that
00:07:23.837 --> 00:07:24.972
The solid rock that is a standard of truth.
00:07:25.038 --> 00:07:27.274
Is a standard of truth. they want to evolve
00:07:27.341 --> 00:07:28.609
They want to evolve what cannot be broken.
00:07:28.675 --> 00:07:31.745
What cannot be broken. read what the bible says,
00:07:31.812 --> 00:07:33.146
Read what the bible says, "the grass may wither
00:07:33.213 --> 00:07:34.481
"the grass may wither and the flower may fade,
00:07:34.548 --> 00:07:36.016
And the flower may fade, but the word of the lord,
00:07:36.083 --> 00:07:37.484
But the word of the lord, it endures forever."
00:07:37.551 --> 00:07:39.753
It endures forever." jesus said,
00:07:39.820 --> 00:07:40.387
Jesus said, "heaven and earth will
00:07:40.454 --> 00:07:41.154
"heaven and earth will pass away but my word will,
00:07:41.221 --> 00:07:43.290
Pass away but my word will, by no means, pass away."
00:07:43.357 --> 00:07:44.691
By no means, pass away." he settled the argument when,
00:07:44.758 --> 00:07:46.159
He settled the argument when, in john 17,
00:07:46.226 --> 00:07:47.361
In john 17, he said,
00:07:47.427 --> 00:07:47.961
He said, "your word,
00:07:48.028 --> 00:07:48.962
"your word, oh lord, is truth."
00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:52.232
Oh lord, is truth." church, you have to understand
00:07:52.299 --> 00:07:54.167
Church, you have to understand that this book is still
00:07:54.234 --> 00:07:55.536
That this book is still the standard of truth
00:07:55.602 --> 00:07:56.670
The standard of truth in heaven above,
00:07:56.737 --> 00:07:57.804
In heaven above, and it should be
00:07:57.871 --> 00:07:58.672
And it should be in your life today.
00:07:58.739 --> 00:07:59.840
In your life today. i don't care what
00:07:59.907 --> 00:08:00.908
I don't care what the world says has changed,
00:08:00.974 --> 00:08:02.843
The world says has changed, my god will not change.
00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:04.711
My god will not change. not now, not ever.
00:08:04.778 --> 00:08:06.146
Not now, not ever. he is the same yesterday,
00:08:06.213 --> 00:08:07.981
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:08:08.048 --> 00:08:09.216
Today, and forever. generation to generation,
00:08:09.283 --> 00:08:11.051
Generation to generation, this truth endures
00:08:11.118 --> 00:08:12.286
This truth endures when everything else fails.
00:08:12.352 --> 00:08:13.587
[applause]
00:08:14.054 --> 00:08:18.325
When you look at the power
00:08:18.825 --> 00:08:19.693
When you look at the power of believing in his word
00:08:19.760 --> 00:08:21.228
Of believing in his word and you begin
00:08:21.295 --> 00:08:21.795
And you begin to behave like you believe,
00:08:21.862 --> 00:08:23.764
To behave like you believe, then the bible says whatever
00:08:23.830 --> 00:08:25.132
Then the bible says whatever you ask in faith,
00:08:25.198 --> 00:08:26.700
You ask in faith, you'll have it.
00:08:26.767 --> 00:08:28.602
You'll have it. jesus said,
00:08:28.669 --> 00:08:29.102
Jesus said, "whatever you bind
00:08:29.169 --> 00:08:30.470
"whatever you bind will be bound.
00:08:30.537 --> 00:08:31.838
Will be bound. whatever you loose,
00:08:31.905 --> 00:08:32.906
Whatever you loose, will be loosed."
00:08:32.973 --> 00:08:34.508
Will be loosed." he told the disciples,
00:08:34.575 --> 00:08:35.342
He told the disciples, "when you speak to a mountain,
00:08:35.409 --> 00:08:36.944
"when you speak to a mountain, it'll be cast into the sea
00:08:37.010 --> 00:08:38.645
It'll be cast into the sea because all things are possible
00:08:38.712 --> 00:08:41.214
Because all things are possible to them that believe."
00:08:41.281 --> 00:08:43.984
To them that believe." now, on the contrary,
00:08:44.051 --> 00:08:46.086
Now, on the contrary, nothing is available
00:08:46.153 --> 00:08:47.254
Nothing is available to the doubter.
00:08:47.321 --> 00:08:49.323
To the doubter. nothing is available
00:08:49.389 --> 00:08:50.223
Nothing is available to the nonbeliever
00:08:50.290 --> 00:08:51.124
To the nonbeliever or the skeptic.
00:08:51.191 --> 00:08:52.960
Or the skeptic. james 1:6-7 says,
00:08:53.026 --> 00:08:55.162
James 1:6-7 says, "he who doubts is like a wave
00:08:55.228 --> 00:08:56.597
"he who doubts is like a wave that's tossed by the wind.
00:08:56.663 --> 00:08:58.398
That's tossed by the wind. he'll receive nothing.
00:08:58.465 --> 00:09:02.035
He'll receive nothing. he's double minded
00:09:02.102 --> 00:09:02.970
He's double minded and unstable in all
00:09:03.036 --> 00:09:04.104
And unstable in all of his ways."
00:09:04.171 --> 00:09:06.006
Of his ways." why is he double minded?
00:09:06.073 --> 00:09:07.107
Why is he double minded? because with his mouth,
00:09:07.174 --> 00:09:08.141
Because with his mouth, he says he believes,
00:09:08.208 --> 00:09:09.309
He says he believes, but with his behavior,
00:09:09.376 --> 00:09:10.377
But with his behavior, he doesn't believe.
00:09:10.444 --> 00:09:13.547
He doesn't believe. with his mouth,
00:09:13.614 --> 00:09:14.081
With his mouth, he speaks faith,
00:09:14.147 --> 00:09:15.182
He speaks faith, but with his actions,
00:09:15.248 --> 00:09:17.184
But with his actions, he doesn't act in faith.
00:09:17.250 --> 00:09:19.319
He doesn't act in faith. so, he's got two minds
00:09:19.386 --> 00:09:20.487
So, he's got two minds and god says,
00:09:20.554 --> 00:09:21.154
And god says, "i'm not gonna endorse
00:09:21.221 --> 00:09:22.022
"i'm not gonna endorse that kind of behavior.
00:09:22.089 --> 00:09:22.856
That kind of behavior. you get nothing."
00:09:22.923 --> 00:09:25.392
You get nothing." when you ask god for something
00:09:25.459 --> 00:09:26.960
When you ask god for something and don't believe
00:09:27.027 --> 00:09:27.861
And don't believe that god is able,
00:09:27.928 --> 00:09:28.862
That god is able, you make god try and prove
00:09:28.929 --> 00:09:30.631
You make god try and prove himself when he's already
00:09:30.697 --> 00:09:31.832
Himself when he's already done enough to do that.
00:09:31.898 --> 00:09:35.402
Done enough to do that. read what matthew 13:58 says.
00:09:35.469 --> 00:09:40.340
Read what matthew 13:58 says. it says that jesus
00:09:40.407 --> 00:09:41.074
It says that jesus was in a certain place
00:09:41.141 --> 00:09:43.910
Was in a certain place and he could not
00:09:43.977 --> 00:09:44.544
And he could not do mighty works there
00:09:44.611 --> 00:09:47.014
Do mighty works there because of their unbelief.
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.351
Because of their unbelief. it doesn't say that jesus
00:09:51.418 --> 00:09:52.519
It doesn't say that jesus was in a certain place
00:09:52.586 --> 00:09:53.587
Was in a certain place and jesus was having
00:09:53.654 --> 00:09:54.488
And jesus was having an off day
00:09:54.554 --> 00:09:55.656
An off day so he couldn't do anything.
00:09:55.722 --> 00:09:58.158
So he couldn't do anything. it says that the power
00:09:58.225 --> 00:09:59.393
It says that the power and the presence of the miracle
00:09:59.459 --> 00:10:00.560
And the presence of the miracle working son of god,
00:10:00.627 --> 00:10:01.862
Working son of god, the word made flesh
00:10:01.928 --> 00:10:02.896
The word made flesh was at a certain place,
00:10:02.963 --> 00:10:04.398
Was at a certain place, but the word made flesh
00:10:04.464 --> 00:10:05.399
But the word made flesh could not do anything
00:10:05.465 --> 00:10:07.334
Could not do anything because the people
00:10:07.401 --> 00:10:08.402
Because the people who were there with him
00:10:08.468 --> 00:10:09.236
Who were there with him didn't believe in him.
00:10:09.302 --> 00:10:11.505
Didn't believe in him. how many times has
00:10:11.571 --> 00:10:12.506
How many times has he come into our lives?
00:10:12.572 --> 00:10:14.241
He come into our lives? how many times has
00:10:14.307 --> 00:10:15.308
How many times has he come into our circumstance?
00:10:15.375 --> 00:10:16.810
He come into our circumstance? how many times has
00:10:16.877 --> 00:10:18.111
How many times has he been there with us,
00:10:18.178 --> 00:10:19.079
He been there with us, and it wasn't that
00:10:19.146 --> 00:10:20.213
And it wasn't that he could not bless us,
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:21.548
He could not bless us, it's that our unbelief kept
00:10:21.615 --> 00:10:22.916
It's that our unbelief kept him from being the blessing
00:10:22.983 --> 00:10:24.317
Him from being the blessing that god sent him to be.
00:10:24.384 --> 00:10:26.820
That god sent him to be. there are times when his
00:10:26.887 --> 00:10:27.621
There are times when his spirit and his
00:10:27.688 --> 00:10:28.422
Spirit and his power are present,
00:10:28.488 --> 00:10:29.623
Power are present, and yet it's our unbelief
00:10:29.690 --> 00:10:31.258
And yet it's our unbelief that keeps him from achieving
00:10:31.324 --> 00:10:32.659
That keeps him from achieving what needs to be done.
00:10:32.726 --> 00:10:34.528
What needs to be done. you cannot ask god
00:10:34.594 --> 00:10:36.463
You cannot ask god to prove himself.
00:10:36.530 --> 00:10:37.798
To prove himself. he has already done it time
00:10:37.864 --> 00:10:40.167
He has already done it time and time and time again.
00:10:40.233 --> 00:10:42.002
And time and time again. you have to believe god
00:10:42.069 --> 00:10:44.004
You have to believe god and believe him here
00:10:44.071 --> 00:10:46.139
And believe him here and believe him now.

No matter what you're facing,
00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:05.025
He is faithful
00:11:05.025 --> 00:11:05.859

00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.236
[applause]
00:11:49.302 --> 00:11:52.139
You see, your natural mind,
00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:53.607
You see, your natural mind, the one that is conformed
00:11:53.673 --> 00:11:54.674
The one that is conformed to the world, it says,
00:11:54.741 --> 00:11:55.842
To the world, it says, "i'll believe it when i see it."
00:11:55.909 --> 00:11:59.079
"i'll believe it when i see it." but your transformed mind says,
00:11:59.146 --> 00:12:00.647
But your transformed mind says, "i'll believe it
00:12:00.714 --> 00:12:02.115
"i'll believe it and then i'll see it."
00:12:02.182 --> 00:12:04.584
And then i'll see it." how do you behave
00:12:04.651 --> 00:12:05.886
How do you behave in your waiting season?
00:12:05.952 --> 00:12:09.089
In your waiting season? how do you act between
00:12:09.156 --> 00:12:11.258
How do you act between the time that
00:12:11.324 --> 00:12:11.992
The time that god has promised it
00:12:12.058 --> 00:12:13.727
God has promised it and its arrival?
00:12:13.794 --> 00:12:16.096
And its arrival? you'd better behave like you
00:12:16.163 --> 00:12:17.297
You'd better behave like you believe it because that's where
00:12:17.364 --> 00:12:20.467
Believe it because that's where the miracle comes from.
00:12:20.534 --> 00:12:24.271
The miracle comes from. it doesn't come because
00:12:24.337 --> 00:12:27.107
It doesn't come because god said it,
00:12:27.174 --> 00:12:28.308
God said it, and you're gonna sit there
00:12:28.375 --> 00:12:29.743
And you're gonna sit there and just doubt it
00:12:29.810 --> 00:12:31.011
And just doubt it until it shows up.
00:12:31.077 --> 00:12:34.080
Until it shows up. our expectations
00:12:34.147 --> 00:12:35.549
Our expectations create in us either
00:12:35.615 --> 00:12:37.450
Create in us either the willingness to endure
00:12:37.517 --> 00:12:41.254
The willingness to endure or the frustration to quit.
00:12:41.321 --> 00:12:45.625
Or the frustration to quit. if you expect it to come,
00:12:45.692 --> 00:12:47.527
If you expect it to come, then you endure.
00:12:47.594 --> 00:12:51.097
Then you endure. but if you expect it to arrive,
00:12:51.164 --> 00:12:54.367
But if you expect it to arrive, you're disappointed
00:12:54.434 --> 00:12:55.202
You're disappointed when it's not here.
00:12:55.268 --> 00:12:57.971
When it's not here. have you ever gotten one
00:12:58.038 --> 00:12:58.939
Have you ever gotten one of those notices that says,
00:12:59.005 --> 00:12:59.906
Of those notices that says, "your package
00:12:59.973 --> 00:13:00.807
"your package has been delivered,"
00:13:00.874 --> 00:13:04.010
Has been delivered," but you know for a fact
00:13:04.077 --> 00:13:06.379
But you know for a fact it's not delivered.
00:13:06.446 --> 00:13:08.915
It's not delivered. and the reason you know
00:13:08.982 --> 00:13:09.716
And the reason you know it's not delivered is because
00:13:09.783 --> 00:13:10.784
It's not delivered is because you're standing at the delivery
00:13:10.851 --> 00:13:12.018
You're standing at the delivery place and your phone says.
00:13:12.085 --> 00:13:15.121
[buzzing]
00:13:15.422 --> 00:13:15.889
"your package is delivered."
00:13:16.223 --> 00:13:16.890
"your package is delivered." and you're going,
00:13:16.957 --> 00:13:17.290
And you're going, "no, it's not."
00:13:17.357 --> 00:13:21.728
"no, it's not." you're disappointed because
00:13:21.795 --> 00:13:24.130
You're disappointed because what you expected hasn't
00:13:24.197 --> 00:13:25.298
What you expected hasn't arrived on your schedule.
00:13:25.365 --> 00:13:27.734
Arrived on your schedule. now, if you didn't have the app,
00:13:27.801 --> 00:13:30.737
Now, if you didn't have the app, you'd be thrilled
00:13:30.804 --> 00:13:33.173
You'd be thrilled whenever it showed up.
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.243
Whenever it showed up. because you have sent a message
00:13:36.309 --> 00:13:38.311
Because you have sent a message to someone that
00:13:38.378 --> 00:13:39.246
To someone that you've never seen,
00:13:39.312 --> 00:13:41.648
You've never seen, with personal financial
00:13:41.715 --> 00:13:42.616
With personal financial information that you
00:13:42.682 --> 00:13:43.617
Information that you shouldn't give,
00:13:43.683 --> 00:13:47.220
Shouldn't give, to an undisclosed location
00:13:47.287 --> 00:13:48.788
To an undisclosed location that you don't know
00:13:48.855 --> 00:13:49.556
That you don't know where it is.
00:13:49.623 --> 00:13:52.158
Where it is. "oh, it's made in america."
00:13:52.225 --> 00:13:53.393
"oh, it's made in america." which universe?
00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:54.928
[laughter]
00:13:55.328 --> 00:13:56.429
'cause if you ever
00:13:57.364 --> 00:13:57.931
'cause if you ever call customer service,
00:13:57.998 --> 00:13:58.899
Call customer service, i promise they're not
00:13:58.965 --> 00:13:59.733
I promise they're not speaking king's english.
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:00.867
[applause]
00:14:01.902 --> 00:14:06.306
And when you think about
00:14:09.476 --> 00:14:10.210
And when you think about all of the unknowns that
00:14:10.277 --> 00:14:11.544
All of the unknowns that you've engaged in,
00:14:11.611 --> 00:14:12.512
You've engaged in, you should be thrilled when
00:14:12.579 --> 00:14:16.483
You should be thrilled when that $47 lip gloss shows up.
00:14:16.549 --> 00:14:19.252
[laughter]
00:14:19.719 --> 00:14:21.621
I'm not talking about you,
00:14:22.522 --> 00:14:23.256
I'm not talking about you, i'm talking about
00:14:23.323 --> 00:14:23.790
I'm talking about people you know.
00:14:23.857 --> 00:14:24.557
[laughter]
00:14:24.958 --> 00:14:26.559
By the way,
00:14:27.627 --> 00:14:28.161
By the way, i don't wear lip gloss.
00:14:28.228 --> 00:14:28.929
[laughter]
00:14:29.796 --> 00:14:32.532
But because what you
00:14:33.833 --> 00:14:34.668
But because what you expected or what you were
00:14:34.734 --> 00:14:36.403
Expected or what you were prompted to believe would be
00:14:36.469 --> 00:14:37.871
Prompted to believe would be here on a certain date,
00:14:37.938 --> 00:14:39.072
Here on a certain date, at a certain hour,
00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:39.839
At a certain hour, at a certain time,
00:14:39.906 --> 00:14:40.674
At a certain time, and it's not there,
00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:41.775
And it's not there, now you're frustrated,
00:14:41.841 --> 00:14:43.276
Now you're frustrated, now someone's failed you,
00:14:43.343 --> 00:14:44.911
Now someone's failed you, now someone's let you down.
00:14:44.978 --> 00:14:46.846
Now someone's let you down. well, you do the same thing when
00:14:46.913 --> 00:14:48.315
Well, you do the same thing when you put god on your calendar.
00:14:48.381 --> 00:14:53.219
You put god on your calendar. and god says,
00:14:53.286 --> 00:14:53.820
And god says, "just endure.
00:14:53.887 --> 00:14:56.222
"just endure. have enough expectancy to know
00:14:56.289 --> 00:14:57.857
Have enough expectancy to know that i will not tell you a lie.
00:14:57.924 --> 00:15:00.727
That i will not tell you a lie. believe with all of your heart,
00:15:00.794 --> 00:15:01.995
Believe with all of your heart, with all of your soul,
00:15:02.062 --> 00:15:02.762
With all of your soul, with all of your mind,
00:15:02.829 --> 00:15:03.463
With all of your mind, with all of your strength."
00:15:03.530 --> 00:15:06.433
With all of your strength." some people want to know
00:15:06.499 --> 00:15:07.500
Some people want to know what god's promises
00:15:07.567 --> 00:15:08.468
What god's promises are for their life.
00:15:08.535 --> 00:15:09.202
Are for their life. well, let's talk about
00:15:09.269 --> 00:15:10.036
Well, let's talk about some general promises before
00:15:10.103 --> 00:15:11.838
Some general promises before we talk about specific promises
00:15:11.905 --> 00:15:15.108
We talk about specific promises because your faith has got
00:15:15.175 --> 00:15:16.609
Because your faith has got to engage at some level.
00:15:16.676 --> 00:15:18.979
To engage at some level. and when you don't believe
00:15:19.045 --> 00:15:19.879
And when you don't believe in his general promises,
00:15:19.946 --> 00:15:21.081
In his general promises, god won't share with you
00:15:21.147 --> 00:15:22.182
God won't share with you the specific promises.
00:15:22.248 --> 00:15:25.085
The specific promises. look at a general promise that
00:15:25.151 --> 00:15:26.553
Look at a general promise that he gives to all of his children,
00:15:26.619 --> 00:15:27.587
He gives to all of his children, matthew 28:20.
00:15:27.654 --> 00:15:29.189
Matthew 28:20. he says,
00:15:29.255 --> 00:15:29.756
He says, "i am with you always,
00:15:29.823 --> 00:15:32.859
"i am with you always, even to the ends of the age."
00:15:32.926 --> 00:15:35.462
Even to the ends of the age." now, if jesus cannot tell a lie,
00:15:35.528 --> 00:15:37.097
Now, if jesus cannot tell a lie, if he is the truth,
00:15:37.163 --> 00:15:38.832
If he is the truth, and he says,
00:15:38.898 --> 00:15:39.399
And he says, "i'm with you always,"
00:15:39.466 --> 00:15:41.001
"i'm with you always," how many of you know
00:15:41.067 --> 00:15:41.868
How many of you know that that means
00:15:41.935 --> 00:15:42.702
That that means he's with you always?
00:15:42.769 --> 00:15:46.006
He's with you always? but if you behaved
00:15:46.072 --> 00:15:46.773
But if you behaved like you believed it,
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.574
Like you believed it, would you do the things
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:48.308
Would you do the things you always do?
00:15:48.375 --> 00:15:50.210
You always do? would you go the places
00:15:50.276 --> 00:15:51.044
Would you go the places you always go?
00:15:51.111 --> 00:15:51.945
You always go? would you say
00:15:52.012 --> 00:15:52.512
Would you say the things you always say?
00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:54.581
The things you always say? would you act
00:15:54.647 --> 00:15:55.181
Would you act the way you always act?
00:15:55.248 --> 00:15:57.117
The way you always act? when you go through
00:15:57.183 --> 00:15:57.617
When you go through troubles and trials,
00:15:57.684 --> 00:15:58.918
Troubles and trials, would you throw up your hands
00:15:58.985 --> 00:16:00.220
Would you throw up your hands and feel like you're abandoned?
00:16:00.286 --> 00:16:02.922
And feel like you're abandoned? he's with you always.
00:16:02.989 --> 00:16:05.959
He's with you always. even in the doctor's office
00:16:06.026 --> 00:16:07.427
Even in the doctor's office when you don't get the report
00:16:07.494 --> 00:16:08.495
When you don't get the report that you wanted,
00:16:08.561 --> 00:16:09.062
That you wanted, he's with you always.
00:16:09.129 --> 00:16:11.598
He's with you always. even when you walk through
00:16:11.664 --> 00:16:12.565
Even when you walk through a season of sorrow
00:16:12.632 --> 00:16:13.800
A season of sorrow and it's not the outcome
00:16:13.867 --> 00:16:14.901
And it's not the outcome that you expected,
00:16:14.968 --> 00:16:15.769

Arm wrapped around you. whenever the doctor tells you,

But we don't always act like he's there.
00:16:59.546 --> 00:17:01.915

You'd better have your oil lamp full because when

Now, those are general promises.
00:18:14.087 --> 00:18:17.624
Now, those are general promises. and many of us want god
00:18:17.690 --> 00:18:18.625
And many of us want god to give us specific details.
00:18:18.691 --> 00:18:21.628
To give us specific details. he's not gonna give you specific
00:18:21.694 --> 00:18:23.096
He's not gonna give you specific details until you prove you
00:18:23.163 --> 00:18:24.464
Details until you prove you believe in what

With you because in doing so, you exercise your faith.
00:18:35.441 --> 00:18:37.777
You exercise your faith. romans 12:3, it says that,
00:18:37.844 --> 00:18:40.980
Romans 12:3, it says that, "god has dealt to each of us
00:18:41.047 --> 00:18:42.749
"god has dealt to each of us a measure of faith."
00:18:42.815 --> 00:18:44.984
A measure of faith." that means that he's given
00:18:45.051 --> 00:18:46.152
That means that he's given all of us a portion of faith
00:18:46.219 --> 00:18:49.255
All of us a portion of faith and it's our job
00:18:49.322 --> 00:18:50.256
And it's our job to work with it.
00:18:50.323 --> 00:18:52.959
To work with it. when you work with faith,
00:18:53.026 --> 00:18:54.194
When you work with faith, when you act in faith,
00:18:54.260 --> 00:18:55.428
When you act in faith, when you believe in faith,
00:18:55.495 --> 00:18:56.763
When you believe in faith, when you pray in faith,
00:18:56.829 --> 00:18:58.298
When you pray in faith, when you read the word
00:18:58.364 --> 00:18:59.465
When you read the word of god in faith,
00:18:59.532 --> 00:19:00.800
Of god in faith, you are exercising your faith
00:19:00.867 --> 00:19:02.869
You are exercising your faith and it grows.
00:19:02.936 --> 00:19:05.605
And it grows. and as your faith grows,
00:19:05.672 --> 00:19:07.173
And as your faith grows, you have the ability
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:08.408
You have the ability to believe god for more.
00:19:08.474 --> 00:19:12.612
To believe god for more. consider this church.
00:19:12.679 --> 00:19:15.014
Consider this church. when this church started
00:19:15.081 --> 00:19:16.316
When this church started just a few miles from here
00:19:16.382 --> 00:19:17.650
Just a few miles from here in a living room
00:19:17.717 --> 00:19:18.651
In a living room with just a few families,
00:19:18.718 --> 00:19:21.020
With just a few families, what we had faith for was that
00:19:21.087 --> 00:19:23.823
What we had faith for was that we would be able
00:19:23.890 --> 00:19:24.457
We would be able to go from where we were
00:19:24.524 --> 00:19:26.025
To go from where we were to a few folks.
00:19:26.092 --> 00:19:28.361
To a few folks. and then once we got
00:19:28.428 --> 00:19:29.162
And then once we got a few folks,
00:19:29.229 --> 00:19:29.929
A few folks, we believed for a room
00:19:29.996 --> 00:19:31.197
We believed for a room full of folks.
00:19:31.264 --> 00:19:31.965
Full of folks. and then once we got
00:19:32.031 --> 00:19:32.732
And then once we got a room full of folks,
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:33.466
A room full of folks, we believed for a sanctuary
00:19:33.533 --> 00:19:34.567
We believed for a sanctuary full of folks.
00:19:34.634 --> 00:19:35.335
Full of folks. and then once we got
00:19:35.401 --> 00:19:36.135
And then once we got a sanctuary full of folks,
00:19:36.202 --> 00:19:37.337
A sanctuary full of folks, we believed for a larger
00:19:37.403 --> 00:19:38.571
We believed for a larger sanctuary full of folks.
00:19:38.638 --> 00:19:39.739
Sanctuary full of folks. and now, we sit in a sanctuary
00:19:39.806 --> 00:19:41.541
And now, we sit in a sanctuary that seats thousands
00:19:41.608 --> 00:19:42.742
That seats thousands and we're talking to a hundred
00:19:42.809 --> 00:19:43.676
And we're talking to a hundred and twenty nations
00:19:43.743 --> 00:19:44.344
And twenty nations around the world.
00:19:44.410 --> 00:19:45.311
Around the world. why?
00:19:45.378 --> 00:19:46.079
Why? not because 60 something
00:19:46.145 --> 00:19:47.747
Not because 60 something years ago,
00:19:47.814 --> 00:19:48.581
Years ago, the decision was made,
00:19:48.648 --> 00:19:49.782
The decision was made, "this is where we would end up,"
00:19:49.849 --> 00:19:51.117
"this is where we would end up," but we grew to this,
00:19:51.184 --> 00:19:52.719
But we grew to this, exercising our faith
00:19:52.785 --> 00:19:54.520
Exercising our faith and believing in a god who said,
00:19:54.587 --> 00:19:56.256
And believing in a god who said, "all things are possible
00:19:56.322 --> 00:19:58.224
"all things are possible to those who believe."
00:19:58.291 --> 00:19:59.259
[applause]
00:19:59.626 --> 00:20:05.431
Things that are exercising

Things that are exercising are growing,
00:20:08.401 --> 00:20:09.035
Are growing, they're getting stronger.

They're getting stronger. if your future is not growing
00:20:10.169 --> 00:20:12.205
If your future is not growing and getting stronger,
00:20:12.272 --> 00:20:13.139
And getting stronger, you need to go find some faith.
00:20:13.206 --> 00:20:18.144
You need to go find some faith. you grow your faith
00:20:18.211 --> 00:20:20.647
You grow your faith when you read the word of god,
00:20:20.713 --> 00:20:21.981
When you read the word of god, romans 10:17,
00:20:22.048 --> 00:20:23.116
Romans 10:17, it says,
00:20:23.182 --> 00:20:23.616
It says, "faith comes by
00:20:23.683 --> 00:20:24.284

How much of this word are you reading?
00:20:39.399 --> 00:20:41.534
Are you reading? or is it only read to you?
00:20:41.601 --> 00:20:44.737
Or is it only read to you? how much of this word are you
00:20:44.804 --> 00:20:46.139
How much of this word are you meditating on and speaking?
00:20:46.205 --> 00:20:49.175
Meditating on and speaking? because you better believe
00:20:49.242 --> 00:20:50.109
Because you better believe what god told joshua.

On it day and night, and you shall speak it,
00:20:55.882 --> 00:20:58.951
And you shall speak it, and it shall proceed
00:20:59.018 --> 00:20:59.852
And it shall proceed out of your mouth,
00:20:59.919 --> 00:21:00.586
Out of your mouth, and whatever you do,
00:21:00.653 --> 00:21:03.122
And whatever you do, you will have success."
00:21:03.189 --> 00:21:05.758
You will have success." when you begin to read,
00:21:05.825 --> 00:21:06.759
When you begin to read, and hear,
00:21:06.826 --> 00:21:07.327

On sunday and then you spend the rest of your week
00:21:14.834 --> 00:21:15.535
The rest of your week saturated with the doubters
00:21:15.601 --> 00:21:16.936
Saturated with the doubters and the skeptics of this world,
00:21:17.003 --> 00:21:18.338
And the skeptics of this world, your faith starts to shrink.
00:21:18.404 --> 00:21:21.941
Your faith starts to shrink. you can't wash off
00:21:22.008 --> 00:21:22.775
You can't wash off in a 90 minute service
00:21:22.842 --> 00:21:24.377
In a 90 minute service what they're gonna put
00:21:24.444 --> 00:21:25.144
What they're gonna put on you in 6 days.

Faith starts to grow, you'll see god start
00:21:33.453 --> 00:21:34.420
You'll see god start to move mountains
00:21:34.487 --> 00:21:35.388
To move mountains of impossibility.
00:21:35.455 --> 00:21:37.990
Of impossibility. which means that the one thing
00:21:38.057 --> 00:21:39.092
Which means that the one thing that you have to truly
00:21:39.158 --> 00:21:40.026
That you have to truly develop is your

Develop is your willingness to endure.
00:21:41.027 --> 00:21:44.664
Willingness to endure. your willingness to endure.
00:21:44.731 --> 00:21:47.867
Your willingness to endure. you can't do it once
00:21:47.934 --> 00:21:50.036
You can't do it once and expect everything
00:21:50.103 --> 00:21:51.137
And expect everything to be there all at once.
00:21:51.204 --> 00:21:54.540
To be there all at once. and if there's a problem
00:21:54.607 --> 00:21:55.408
And if there's a problem that we have
00:21:55.475 --> 00:21:55.942
That we have in our modern world,
00:21:56.008 --> 00:21:56.809
In our modern world, it's that we don't
00:21:56.876 --> 00:21:58.010
It's that we don't like to endure,
00:21:58.077 --> 00:21:59.078
Like to endure, we don't like to wait.
00:21:59.145 --> 00:22:02.248
We don't like to wait. i don't care how much you wanna
00:22:02.315 --> 00:22:04.350
I don't care how much you wanna celebrate your patience,
00:22:04.417 --> 00:22:05.585
Celebrate your patience, you ain't that patient.
00:22:05.651 --> 00:22:06.519
[laughter]
00:22:07.286 --> 00:22:08.821
I've never seen anybody
00:22:09.422 --> 00:22:10.289
I've never seen anybody walk into a "waiting room" --
00:22:10.356 --> 00:22:12.225
Walk into a "waiting room" -- what a terrible word
00:22:12.291 --> 00:22:14.994
What a terrible word to put on the door.
00:22:15.061 --> 00:22:15.695
To put on the door. "waiting room," what?
00:22:15.762 --> 00:22:18.064
"waiting room," what? i don't want a waiting room,
00:22:18.131 --> 00:22:19.265
I don't want a waiting room, i want a "go through" room.
00:22:19.332 --> 00:22:20.233
[laughter]
00:22:20.600 --> 00:22:22.769
You walk into a waiting
00:22:23.269 --> 00:22:23.870
You walk into a waiting room and they say,
00:22:23.936 --> 00:22:24.771
Room and they say, "we're running behind today."
00:22:24.837 --> 00:22:26.539
"we're running behind today." and you go,
00:22:26.606 --> 00:22:26.939
And you go, "oh, praise god.
00:22:27.006 --> 00:22:28.174
[laughter]
00:22:28.608 --> 00:22:29.409
I'm so thankful.
00:22:29.742 --> 00:22:31.611
I'm so thankful. i just love sitting
00:22:31.677 --> 00:22:33.012
I just love sitting around and doing nothing.
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:34.247
[laughter]
00:22:34.947 --> 00:22:35.782
Hallelujah."
00:22:36.349 --> 00:22:38.684
Hallelujah." no.
00:22:38.751 --> 00:22:40.686
No. you may not say what
00:22:40.753 --> 00:22:41.687
You may not say what you're thinking,
00:22:41.754 --> 00:22:42.422
You're thinking, but you ain't
00:22:42.488 --> 00:22:42.955
But you ain't thinking, "hallelujah."
00:22:43.022 --> 00:22:47.126
Thinking, "hallelujah." and what we do as christians
00:22:47.193 --> 00:22:48.327
And what we do as christians is we want everything
00:22:48.394 --> 00:22:49.662
Is we want everything to be like a push
00:22:49.729 --> 00:22:50.696
To be like a push of an easy button.
00:22:50.763 --> 00:22:53.065
Of an easy button. "god, i need your provision,
00:22:53.132 --> 00:22:54.300
"god, i need your provision, so i'm gonna give once.
00:22:54.367 --> 00:22:57.136
So i'm gonna give once. god, i need your hand to move,
00:22:57.203 --> 00:22:58.604
God, i need your hand to move, i'm gonna pray once.
00:22:58.671 --> 00:23:01.007
I'm gonna pray once. god, i need everything
00:23:01.073 --> 00:23:02.442
God, i need everything in my life that's been wrong
00:23:02.508 --> 00:23:03.676
In my life that's been wrong for decades to get fixed
00:23:03.743 --> 00:23:04.744
For decades to get fixed in a day so i'm gonna
00:23:04.811 --> 00:23:06.179
In a day so i'm gonna believe once."
00:23:06.245 --> 00:23:08.848
Believe once." but that's not how god works.
00:23:08.915 --> 00:23:09.782
But that's not how god works. god says,
00:23:09.849 --> 00:23:10.750
God says, "endure hardness
00:23:10.817 --> 00:23:11.918
"endure hardness as a good soldier,"
00:23:11.984 --> 00:23:12.452
As a good soldier," that's what paul
00:23:12.518 --> 00:23:13.085
That's what paul told timothy.
00:23:13.152 --> 00:23:16.389
Told timothy. the promise that comes to those
00:23:16.456 --> 00:23:17.623
The promise that comes to those who endure is those who endure
00:23:17.690 --> 00:23:18.958
Who endure is those who endure to the end,
00:23:19.025 --> 00:23:19.725
To the end, the same shall be saved.
00:23:19.792 --> 00:23:23.863
The same shall be saved. so, you have to be ready
00:23:23.930 --> 00:23:24.764
So, you have to be ready to do it more than once.
00:23:24.831 --> 00:23:25.898
To do it more than once. you have to be willing
00:23:25.965 --> 00:23:26.799
You have to be willing to endure day in,
00:23:26.866 --> 00:23:28.134
To endure day in, day out, year in,
00:23:28.201 --> 00:23:29.168
Day out, year in, year out,
00:23:29.235 --> 00:23:29.902
Year out, decade in, decade out
00:23:29.969 --> 00:23:31.604
Decade in, decade out because it's through
00:23:31.671 --> 00:23:32.238
Because it's through your faithful endurance
00:23:32.305 --> 00:23:33.272
Your faithful endurance that god says,
00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:34.006
That god says, "there's somebody
00:23:34.073 --> 00:23:34.740
"there's somebody i can believe in."
00:23:34.807 --> 00:23:37.210
I can believe in." god wants you to put
00:23:37.276 --> 00:23:38.044
God wants you to put your belief in him,
00:23:38.110 --> 00:23:39.345
Your belief in him, and by putting
00:23:39.412 --> 00:23:40.112
And by putting your belief in him,
00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:41.180
Your belief in him, you prove through your endurance
00:23:41.247 --> 00:23:42.381
You prove through your endurance that god can believe in you.
00:23:42.448 --> 00:23:45.852
That god can believe in you. he's looking for somebody
00:23:45.918 --> 00:23:46.385
He's looking for somebody that says,
00:23:46.452 --> 00:23:46.886
That says, "god, i don't care how
00:23:46.953 --> 00:23:47.753
"god, i don't care how long i have to wait.
00:23:47.820 --> 00:23:49.689
Long i have to wait. if you said it,
00:23:49.755 --> 00:23:50.456
If you said it, that settles it.
00:23:50.523 --> 00:23:52.358
That settles it. i don't care how big
00:23:52.425 --> 00:23:53.292
I don't care how big the need is,
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:54.293
The need is, you're bigger than the need.
00:23:54.360 --> 00:23:56.295
You're bigger than the need. i don't care about the problem,
00:23:56.362 --> 00:23:58.130
I don't care about the problem, you're the god
00:23:58.197 --> 00:23:58.698
You're the god who solves problems."
00:23:58.764 --> 00:24:01.467
Who solves problems." you see, it's not
00:24:01.534 --> 00:24:02.368
You see, it's not a moment by moment
00:24:02.435 --> 00:24:03.870
A moment by moment type of thing.
00:24:03.936 --> 00:24:04.570
Type of thing. it's not an easy button
00:24:04.637 --> 00:24:05.671
It's not an easy button that you push,
00:24:05.738 --> 00:24:06.506
That you push, it's a mountain
00:24:06.572 --> 00:24:07.240
It's a mountain that you decide to climb,
00:24:07.306 --> 00:24:08.774
That you decide to climb, and the higher you climb,
00:24:08.841 --> 00:24:10.009
And the higher you climb, the more faithful he gets.
00:24:10.076 --> 00:24:11.377
The more faithful he gets. the farther you go,
00:24:11.444 --> 00:24:12.545
The farther you go, the better he is.
00:24:12.612 --> 00:24:13.546
The better he is. whenever you're willing

Whenever you're willing to take a step,
00:24:14.547 --> 00:24:15.448
To take a step, even if it hurts
00:24:15.515 --> 00:24:16.249
Even if it hurts with everything that's in you,
00:24:16.315 --> 00:24:17.650
With everything that's in you, god says,
00:24:17.717 --> 00:24:18.684
God says, "i'm the god who will meet
00:24:18.751 --> 00:24:20.052
"i'm the god who will meet you at the top and we're going
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:21.921
You at the top and we're going to see my plan come to pass
00:24:21.988 --> 00:24:23.489
To see my plan come to pass in your life together."

Whenever you have that kind of courage,
00:24:25.925 --> 00:24:26.926
Kind of courage, whenever you're
00:24:26.993 --> 00:24:27.426
Whenever you're willing to endure,
00:24:27.493 --> 00:24:28.694
Willing to endure, whenever you begin to move
00:24:28.761 --> 00:24:30.129
Whenever you begin to move like that in god's direction,
00:24:30.196 --> 00:24:31.464
Like that in god's direction, god says,
00:24:31.531 --> 00:24:32.265
God says, "my promises are yours.
00:24:32.331 --> 00:24:34.300
