Pastor matt hagee: if you would,
00:00:16.109 --> 00:00:16.743
Pastor matt hagee: if you would, please stand for the reading
00:00:16.810 --> 00:00:17.577
Please stand for the reading of god's word.
00:00:17.644 --> 00:00:18.378
Of god's word. and if you brought your bibles,
00:00:18.445 --> 00:00:19.512
And if you brought your bibles, turn them to the book
00:00:19.579 --> 00:00:20.346
Turn them to the book of acts 3:1,
00:00:20.413 --> 00:00:23.883
Of acts 3:1, as this morning,
00:00:23.950 --> 00:00:24.517
As this morning, we continue to consider
00:00:24.584 --> 00:00:25.785
We continue to consider the greater things that god
00:00:25.852 --> 00:00:27.220
The greater things that god can do in your life
00:00:27.287 --> 00:00:29.889
Can do in your life with this series,
00:00:29.956 --> 00:00:31.124
With this series, "great expectations."
00:00:31.191 --> 00:00:33.726
"great expectations." i want you to begin
00:00:33.793 --> 00:00:34.594
I want you to begin to understand the power
00:00:34.661 --> 00:00:36.062
To understand the power of your expectations and how
00:00:36.129 --> 00:00:38.231
Of your expectations and how they impact the outcome
00:00:38.298 --> 00:00:39.866
They impact the outcome of your life.
00:00:39.933 --> 00:00:41.134
Of your life. the first message
00:00:41.201 --> 00:00:41.734
The first message in this series is entitled,
00:00:41.801 --> 00:00:43.703
In this series is entitled, "you will never guess
00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:46.039
"you will never guess what happened to me today."
00:00:46.106 --> 00:00:48.708
What happened to me today." have you ever used that phrase?
00:00:48.775 --> 00:00:51.010
Have you ever used that phrase? i mean, it's always
00:00:51.077 --> 00:00:53.146
I mean, it's always the start of a good story.
00:00:53.213 --> 00:00:55.982
The start of a good story. "you will never guess
00:00:56.049 --> 00:00:58.818
"you will never guess what happened to me today."
00:00:58.885 --> 00:01:00.687
What happened to me today." nobody follows that with,
00:01:00.753 --> 00:01:02.789
Nobody follows that with, "not much."
00:01:02.856 --> 00:01:05.325
"not much." sometimes you hear the phrase
00:01:05.391 --> 00:01:06.759
Sometimes you hear the phrase and it's an exciting one.
00:01:06.826 --> 00:01:08.094
And it's an exciting one. "you will never guess
00:01:08.161 --> 00:01:10.196
"you will never guess what happened to me today."
00:01:10.263 --> 00:01:12.065
What happened to me today." and if you're talking
00:01:12.132 --> 00:01:12.866
And if you're talking to somebody who hears
00:01:12.932 --> 00:01:13.867
To somebody who hears you in that tone,
00:01:13.933 --> 00:01:14.534
You in that tone, they go, "what?"
00:01:14.601 --> 00:01:17.470
They go, "what?" or you can share it
00:01:17.537 --> 00:01:18.872
Or you can share it in the downward,
00:01:18.938 --> 00:01:20.607
In the downward, more demure way.
00:01:20.673 --> 00:01:22.642
More demure way. you will never guess what
00:01:22.709 --> 00:01:24.844
You will never guess what happened to me today.
00:01:24.911 --> 00:01:27.113
Happened to me today. and if the person loves you,
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:28.248
And if the person loves you, they go, "what?"
00:01:28.314 --> 00:01:29.516
They go, "what?" and if they don't like you,
00:01:29.582 --> 00:01:30.416
And if they don't like you, they go, "what!?"
00:01:30.483 --> 00:01:31.684
[laughter]
00:01:32.218 --> 00:01:34.287
Regardless of why you
00:01:34.754 --> 00:01:36.055
Regardless of why you shared or what story
00:01:36.122 --> 00:01:37.991
Shared or what story you're getting ready to tell,
00:01:38.057 --> 00:01:39.826
You're getting ready to tell, you use the phrase
00:01:39.893 --> 00:01:41.161
You use the phrase whenever what you expected
00:01:41.227 --> 00:01:42.462
Whenever what you expected to happen was the last
00:01:42.529 --> 00:01:43.596
To happen was the last thing that did happen,
00:01:43.663 --> 00:01:44.831
Thing that did happen, and the last thing you
00:01:44.898 --> 00:01:45.698
And the last thing you saw coming was what happened.
00:01:45.765 --> 00:01:49.335
Saw coming was what happened. trust me, growing up
00:01:49.402 --> 00:01:50.470
Trust me, growing up in a family of five
00:01:50.537 --> 00:01:52.105
In a family of five with all five children
00:01:52.172 --> 00:01:54.040
With all five children being under the age of 12
00:01:54.107 --> 00:01:55.875
Being under the age of 12 at one time,
00:01:55.942 --> 00:01:57.577
At one time, if my parents knew what was
00:01:57.644 --> 00:01:59.145
If my parents knew what was facing them when they pulled
00:01:59.212 --> 00:02:00.613
Facing them when they pulled that two tone lincoln station
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.515
That two tone lincoln station wagon out of the driveway...
00:02:02.582 --> 00:02:04.918
Wagon out of the driveway... you know the one
00:02:04.984 --> 00:02:05.585
You know the one with the party
00:02:05.652 --> 00:02:06.252
With the party seating in the back?
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:06.986
Seating in the back? the fold up chairs?
00:02:07.053 --> 00:02:08.788
The fold up chairs? yeah, we had that one.
00:02:08.855 --> 00:02:11.024
Yeah, we had that one. if they knew what we were gonna
00:02:11.090 --> 00:02:12.292
If they knew what we were gonna get into whenever we got
00:02:12.358 --> 00:02:13.660
Get into whenever we got where we were going,
00:02:13.726 --> 00:02:14.561
Where we were going, they would've locked us
00:02:14.627 --> 00:02:15.461
They would've locked us in our rooms until we were 18.
00:02:15.528 --> 00:02:18.631
In our rooms until we were 18. because most of the stories
00:02:18.698 --> 00:02:19.766
Because most of the stories about what happened in our world
00:02:19.832 --> 00:02:21.367
About what happened in our world were filled with,
00:02:21.434 --> 00:02:22.035
Were filled with, "you will never guess
00:02:22.101 --> 00:02:24.637
"you will never guess what happened to me today."
00:02:24.704 --> 00:02:27.941
What happened to me today." acts 3:1, the bible says,
00:02:28.007 --> 00:02:30.910
Acts 3:1, the bible says, "now peter and john
00:02:30.977 --> 00:02:31.744
"now peter and john went up together to the temple
00:02:31.811 --> 00:02:33.513
Went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer,
00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:35.148
At the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
00:02:35.215 --> 00:02:36.416
The ninth hour. and a certain man lame
00:02:36.482 --> 00:02:37.617
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb
00:02:37.684 --> 00:02:38.785
From his mother's womb was carried,
00:02:38.851 --> 00:02:39.419
Was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate
00:02:39.485 --> 00:02:42.055
Whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which
00:02:42.121 --> 00:02:42.889
Of the temple which is called beautiful,
00:02:42.956 --> 00:02:44.224
Is called beautiful, to ask alms from those
00:02:44.290 --> 00:02:46.292
To ask alms from those who entered the temple,
00:02:46.359 --> 00:02:47.594
Who entered the temple, who seeing peter and john about
00:02:47.660 --> 00:02:49.295
Who seeing peter and john about to go into the temple
00:02:49.362 --> 00:02:50.363
To go into the temple asked for alms.
00:02:50.430 --> 00:02:52.332
Asked for alms. and fixing his eyes on him
00:02:52.398 --> 00:02:54.067
And fixing his eyes on him with john, peter said,
00:02:54.133 --> 00:02:56.202
With john, peter said, 'look at us.'
00:02:56.269 --> 00:02:57.971
'look at us.' so he gave them his attention,
00:02:58.037 --> 00:02:59.472
So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive
00:02:59.539 --> 00:03:00.773
Expecting to receive something from them.
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.909
Something from them. then peter said,"
00:03:02.976 --> 00:03:03.710
Then peter said," read this with me,
00:03:03.776 --> 00:03:04.978
Read this with me, "'silver and gold
00:03:05.044 --> 00:03:06.579
"'silver and gold i do not have,
00:03:06.646 --> 00:03:08.181
I do not have, but what i do have i give you:
00:03:08.248 --> 00:03:11.184
But what i do have i give you: in the name of jesus christ
00:03:11.251 --> 00:03:13.453
In the name of jesus christ of nazareth,
00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:14.487
Of nazareth, rise up and walk.'
00:03:14.554 --> 00:03:16.556
Rise up and walk.' and he took him
00:03:16.623 --> 00:03:17.156
And he took him by the right hand
00:03:17.223 --> 00:03:17.890
By the right hand and lifted him up,
00:03:17.957 --> 00:03:18.891
And lifted him up, and immediately his feet
00:03:18.958 --> 00:03:20.193
And immediately his feet and his ankle bones
00:03:20.260 --> 00:03:21.127
And his ankle bones received strength.
00:03:21.194 --> 00:03:22.228
Received strength. so he, leaping up,
00:03:22.295 --> 00:03:24.030
So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered
00:03:24.097 --> 00:03:26.432
Stood and walked and entered the temple with them - walking,
00:03:26.499 --> 00:03:29.369
The temple with them - walking, leaping, and praising god."
00:03:29.435 --> 00:03:32.272
Leaping, and praising god." heavenly father,
00:03:32.338 --> 00:03:32.972
Heavenly father, your power is not only present
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.507
Your power is not only present in this room but it is alive.
00:03:34.574 --> 00:03:37.010
In this room but it is alive. and what you have done,
00:03:37.076 --> 00:03:38.111
And what you have done, you will do and can do again.
00:03:38.177 --> 00:03:40.513
You will do and can do again. so today,
00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:41.147
So today, i am asking in the mighty name
00:03:41.214 --> 00:03:42.315
I am asking in the mighty name of jesus that every life
00:03:42.382 --> 00:03:44.584
Of jesus that every life that is in this room,
00:03:44.651 --> 00:03:45.551
That is in this room, who hears this message,
00:03:45.618 --> 00:03:46.586
Who hears this message, and those who are joining us,
00:03:46.653 --> 00:03:47.720
And those who are joining us, and watching
00:03:47.787 --> 00:03:48.254
And watching from all over the world,
00:03:48.321 --> 00:03:49.789
From all over the world, the same healing power
00:03:49.856 --> 00:03:51.591
The same healing power and presence of the holy spirit
00:03:51.658 --> 00:03:53.259
And presence of the holy spirit that was in this young man
00:03:53.326 --> 00:03:54.961
That was in this young man that day be in this room
00:03:55.028 --> 00:03:57.196
That day be in this room this day and change those
00:03:57.263 --> 00:03:59.432
This day and change those who desperately need
00:03:59.499 --> 00:04:00.900
Who desperately need to feel you in their
00:04:00.967 --> 00:04:02.435
To feel you in their life this morning.
00:04:02.502 --> 00:04:03.703
Life this morning. it's in your name that we pray
00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:04.470
It's in your name that we pray and ask all of these things,
00:04:04.537 --> 00:04:06.005
And ask all of these things, and all of god's children
00:04:06.072 --> 00:04:07.173
And all of god's children said praise the lord.
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.908
Said praise the lord. you may be seated.
00:04:08.975 --> 00:04:11.144
You may be seated. but when you look at acts 3,
00:04:11.210 --> 00:04:13.146
But when you look at acts 3, what you see are several
00:04:13.212 --> 00:04:15.615
What you see are several circumstances that expectations
00:04:15.682 --> 00:04:20.586
Circumstances that expectations are one thing and outcomes
00:04:20.653 --> 00:04:22.822
Are one thing and outcomes are another.
00:04:22.889 --> 00:04:24.223
Are another. and the first place that i
00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:25.358
And the first place that i see this taking shape
00:04:25.425 --> 00:04:28.361
See this taking shape is actually in the first verse.
00:04:28.428 --> 00:04:30.797
Is actually in the first verse. it's not in the obvious
00:04:30.863 --> 00:04:31.731
It's not in the obvious healing of a lame man,
00:04:31.798 --> 00:04:33.066
Healing of a lame man, the first thing that
00:04:33.132 --> 00:04:34.367
The first thing that i recognize as an
00:04:34.434 --> 00:04:37.470
I recognize as an expectation that is greatly
00:04:37.537 --> 00:04:39.972
Expectation that is greatly exceeded is found when we see
00:04:40.039 --> 00:04:42.875
Exceeded is found when we see peter and john on their
00:04:42.942 --> 00:04:44.944
Peter and john on their way to the temple
00:04:45.011 --> 00:04:46.212
Way to the temple at the hour of prayer.
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.247
At the hour of prayer. the first verse says,
00:04:48.314 --> 00:04:49.515
The first verse says, "now peter and john went
00:04:49.582 --> 00:04:50.550
"now peter and john went up together to the temple
00:04:50.616 --> 00:04:51.951
Up together to the temple at the hour of prayer,
00:04:52.018 --> 00:04:54.053
At the hour of prayer, the ninth hour."
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.723
The ninth hour." i think it's a remarkable fact
00:04:56.789 --> 00:04:59.125
I think it's a remarkable fact that peter and john
00:04:59.192 --> 00:05:00.059
That peter and john are still going
00:05:00.126 --> 00:05:01.294
Are still going to the temple to pray.
00:05:01.361 --> 00:05:04.697
To the temple to pray. they're doing the little things,
00:05:04.764 --> 00:05:06.733
They're doing the little things, the faithful things,
00:05:06.799 --> 00:05:09.035
The faithful things, the things that they were
00:05:09.102 --> 00:05:10.770
The things that they were taught to do by jesus
00:05:10.837 --> 00:05:13.473
Taught to do by jesus when he prayed
00:05:13.539 --> 00:05:14.741
When he prayed and he was faithful.
00:05:14.807 --> 00:05:17.110
And he was faithful. and the reason that i think it's
00:05:17.176 --> 00:05:17.977
And the reason that i think it's remarkable that peter and john
00:05:18.044 --> 00:05:19.278
Remarkable that peter and john are doing this is because
00:05:19.345 --> 00:05:20.847
Are doing this is because if you consider what they've
00:05:20.913 --> 00:05:21.881
If you consider what they've been through in
00:05:21.948 --> 00:05:22.882
Been through in the past several weeks,
00:05:22.949 --> 00:05:24.684
The past several weeks, they might come
00:05:24.751 --> 00:05:25.318
They might come to the conclusion that they
00:05:25.385 --> 00:05:26.252
To the conclusion that they don't need to do these
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.153
Don't need to do these simple things anymore.
00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.489
Simple things anymore. they don't need
00:05:29.555 --> 00:05:30.256
They don't need to read the bible.
00:05:30.323 --> 00:05:30.857
To read the bible. they don't need to pray.
00:05:30.923 --> 00:05:32.058
They don't need to pray. they don't need to go to church.
00:05:32.125 --> 00:05:34.794
They don't need to go to church. i mean, after all,
00:05:34.861 --> 00:05:35.561
I mean, after all, just about five weeks ago,
00:05:35.628 --> 00:05:37.330
Just about five weeks ago, six weeks ago they walk
00:05:37.397 --> 00:05:38.631
Six weeks ago they walk into jerusalem with jesus,
00:05:38.698 --> 00:05:39.966
Into jerusalem with jesus, and people tear off
00:05:40.032 --> 00:05:40.633
And people tear off their cloaks and throw them
00:05:40.700 --> 00:05:41.734
Their cloaks and throw them on the ground
00:05:41.801 --> 00:05:42.368
On the ground so that the donkey
00:05:42.435 --> 00:05:43.269
So that the donkey he's riding on doesn't
00:05:43.336 --> 00:05:44.137
He's riding on doesn't even touch the dirt.
00:05:44.203 --> 00:05:45.204
Even touch the dirt. they're screaming "hosanna,"
00:05:45.271 --> 00:05:46.739
They're screaming "hosanna," and waving palm branches.
00:05:46.806 --> 00:05:48.975
And waving palm branches. that's a not a normal
00:05:49.041 --> 00:05:49.876
That's a not a normal parade on your way in.
00:05:49.942 --> 00:05:53.212
Parade on your way in. and then a few days after that,
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.314
And then a few days after that, they see jesus arrested
00:05:55.381 --> 00:05:57.683
They see jesus arrested and they see him crucified.
00:05:57.750 --> 00:05:59.719
And they see him crucified. and then two days after that,
00:05:59.786 --> 00:06:00.987
And then two days after that, they see, under the power
00:06:01.053 --> 00:06:02.422
They see, under the power of the holy spirit,
00:06:02.488 --> 00:06:03.489
Of the holy spirit, the risen savior.
00:06:03.556 --> 00:06:05.391
The risen savior. not only do they see the empty
00:06:05.458 --> 00:06:06.759
Not only do they see the empty tomb but they have breakfast
00:06:06.826 --> 00:06:08.194
Tomb but they have breakfast with jesus at
00:06:08.261 --> 00:06:08.961
With jesus at the sea of galilee,
00:06:09.028 --> 00:06:10.129
The sea of galilee, and then they're commanded
00:06:10.196 --> 00:06:11.330
And then they're commanded to go back to jerusalem
00:06:11.397 --> 00:06:12.665
To go back to jerusalem and wait for the holy spirit,
00:06:12.732 --> 00:06:14.066
And wait for the holy spirit, and they watched jesus
00:06:14.133 --> 00:06:15.334
And they watched jesus ascend into heaven.
00:06:15.401 --> 00:06:18.304
Ascend into heaven. then they sit in the upper room
00:06:18.371 --> 00:06:21.240
Then they sit in the upper room until 120 are gathered,
00:06:21.307 --> 00:06:23.142
Until 120 are gathered, and 40 days after
00:06:23.209 --> 00:06:24.310
And 40 days after the resurrection,
00:06:24.377 --> 00:06:25.244
The resurrection, they get to see cloven tongues
00:06:25.311 --> 00:06:26.946
They get to see cloven tongues of fire rest upon their heads,
00:06:27.013 --> 00:06:28.714
Of fire rest upon their heads, and they feel the wind
00:06:28.781 --> 00:06:29.682
And they feel the wind and the presence and the power
00:06:29.749 --> 00:06:30.750
And the presence and the power of the holy spirit,
00:06:30.817 --> 00:06:31.617
Of the holy spirit, and they all speak
00:06:31.684 --> 00:06:32.318
And they all speak in new tongues.
00:06:32.385 --> 00:06:33.085
In new tongues. and then they go out
00:06:33.152 --> 00:06:34.353
And then they go out into the streets of jerusalem,
00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:35.822
Into the streets of jerusalem, and peter shares a message
00:06:35.888 --> 00:06:37.423
And peter shares a message of the gospel and 3,000
00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:39.525
Of the gospel and 3,000 people are saved.
00:06:39.592 --> 00:06:42.061
People are saved. there's about 3,000
00:06:42.128 --> 00:06:43.496
There's about 3,000 in this room right now.
00:06:43.563 --> 00:06:44.630
In this room right now. think about this.
00:06:44.697 --> 00:06:45.965
Think about this. peter and john
00:06:46.032 --> 00:06:47.133
Peter and john have done some stuff.
00:06:47.200 --> 00:06:48.801
Have done some stuff. they watched him walk on water,
00:06:48.868 --> 00:06:50.102
They watched him walk on water, they helped him feed 5,000
00:06:50.169 --> 00:06:51.804
They helped him feed 5,000 with fish and bread,
00:06:51.871 --> 00:06:52.738
With fish and bread, they saw lazarus come
00:06:52.805 --> 00:06:53.639
They heard him calm
00:06:54.640 --> 00:06:55.541
They heard him calm storms and waves.
00:06:55.608 --> 00:06:55.908
Storms and waves. out of the grave,
00:06:55.975 --> 00:06:56.676
Out of the grave, if there's two people
00:06:56.742 --> 00:06:57.944
If there's two people who could tell us today,
00:06:58.010 --> 00:06:59.312
Who could tell us today, "been there, done that,"
00:06:59.378 --> 00:07:00.847
"been there, done that," it's peter and john.
00:07:00.913 --> 00:07:03.649
It's peter and john. and yet, instead of being
00:07:03.716 --> 00:07:07.220
And yet, instead of being so heavenly minded,
00:07:07.286 --> 00:07:08.354
So heavenly minded, they're no earthly good,
00:07:08.421 --> 00:07:11.090
They're no earthly good, they're still
00:07:11.157 --> 00:07:11.791
They're still going to the temple,
00:07:11.858 --> 00:07:13.526
Going to the temple, and they're still doing
00:07:13.593 --> 00:07:14.660
And they're still doing the little things that
00:07:14.727 --> 00:07:15.928
The little things that make them faithful.
00:07:15.995 --> 00:07:18.331
Make them faithful. how many times do
00:07:18.397 --> 00:07:19.131
How many times do we hear people say,
00:07:19.198 --> 00:07:19.966
We hear people say, "oh, i've been going
00:07:20.032 --> 00:07:20.633
"oh, i've been going to church all of my life,
00:07:20.700 --> 00:07:21.634
To church all of my life, i don't need that?
00:07:21.701 --> 00:07:22.969
I don't need that? i've heard all
00:07:23.035 --> 00:07:24.637
I've heard all of those messages."
00:07:24.704 --> 00:07:27.507
Of those messages." this book is alive.
00:07:27.573 --> 00:07:30.443

00:07:30.510 --> 00:07:31.711

00:07:32.011 --> 00:07:35.181
When you read it,
00:07:35.515 --> 00:07:36.449
When you read it, it reads you.
00:07:36.516 --> 00:07:38.551
It reads you. and you may have read it before,
00:07:38.618 --> 00:07:39.752
And you may have read it before, but you never saw it like this
00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:41.220
But you never saw it like this because you're not the same
00:07:41.287 --> 00:07:42.188
Because you're not the same person you were the last
00:07:42.255 --> 00:07:43.256
Person you were the last time you touched it.
00:07:43.322 --> 00:07:45.358
Time you touched it. and the wonderful thing about
00:07:45.424 --> 00:07:46.392
And the wonderful thing about the word of god
00:07:46.459 --> 00:07:47.326
The word of god is the longer you read it
00:07:47.393 --> 00:07:48.661
Is the longer you read it and it and the more
00:07:48.728 --> 00:07:49.328
And it and the more that you understand it,
00:07:49.395 --> 00:07:50.496
That you understand it, the deeper it gets
00:07:50.563 --> 00:07:51.531
The deeper it gets and the better you begin
00:07:51.597 --> 00:07:52.632
And the better you begin to see what a mighty
00:07:52.698 --> 00:07:53.766

00:07:53.833 --> 00:07:55.101
[applause]
00:07:55.501 --> 00:08:01.440
Luke 16 says,
00:08:02.275 --> 00:08:03.509
Luke 16 says, "he who is faithful
00:08:03.576 --> 00:08:04.410
"he who is faithful in what is least
00:08:04.477 --> 00:08:05.177
In what is least is faithful in much.
00:08:05.244 --> 00:08:07.780
Is faithful in much. people often want to ask god
00:08:07.847 --> 00:08:10.049
People often want to ask god for more,
00:08:10.116 --> 00:08:10.716
For more, but they won't
00:08:10.783 --> 00:08:11.317
But they won't do the little
00:08:11.384 --> 00:08:11.884
Do the little that god is requiring.
00:08:11.951 --> 00:08:15.588
That god is requiring. peter and john are on their
00:08:15.655 --> 00:08:16.455

That you can only find in god's house.
00:08:21.193 --> 00:08:23.429
Find in god's house. that's why david said,
00:08:23.496 --> 00:08:24.063
That's why david said, "i was glad when they
00:08:24.130 --> 00:08:25.298
"i was glad when they said unto me,
00:08:25.364 --> 00:08:26.065
Said unto me, 'let us go into
00:08:26.132 --> 00:08:27.500

Into god's presence, you suddenly begin to feel
00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:56.429
You suddenly begin to feel what david felt when he said,
00:08:56.495 --> 00:08:58.230
What david felt when he said, "in your presence
00:08:58.297 --> 00:08:59.699

00:10:43.736 --> 00:10:44.537
Would come up over the mount of olives
00:10:44.603 --> 00:10:45.538
The mount of olives and shine down
00:10:45.604 --> 00:10:46.539
And shine down on mount zion --
00:10:46.605 --> 00:10:47.973
On mount zion -- this gate was made
00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:49.375
This gate was made of pure corinthian bronze.
00:10:49.442 --> 00:10:52.478
Of pure corinthian bronze. the sunlight would
00:10:52.545 --> 00:10:53.312
The sunlight would hit the bronze
00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:54.413
Hit the bronze and it looked like golden beams
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.682
And it looked like golden beams bouncing off of the limestone
00:10:56.749 --> 00:10:58.184
Bouncing off of the limestone walls and streets
00:10:58.250 --> 00:10:59.351
Walls and streets of the city of jerusalem.
00:10:59.418 --> 00:11:00.619
Of the city of jerusalem. one historian said it actually
00:11:00.686 --> 00:11:02.221
One historian said it actually looked as if the arms of god
00:11:02.288 --> 00:11:04.023
Looked as if the arms of god were extended out to invite
00:11:04.090 --> 00:11:05.491
Were extended out to invite people into his temple.
00:11:05.558 --> 00:11:08.728
People into his temple. and yet,
00:11:08.794 --> 00:11:09.261
And yet, as beautiful as this
00:11:09.328 --> 00:11:10.429
As beautiful as this scene would be,
00:11:10.496 --> 00:11:12.465
Scene would be, sitting there on a pillow
00:11:12.531 --> 00:11:13.866
Sitting there on a pillow just outside the gate
00:11:13.933 --> 00:11:16.001
Just outside the gate is something that
00:11:16.068 --> 00:11:16.802
Is something that is far less glorious.
00:11:16.869 --> 00:11:20.139
Is far less glorious. it's a grown man
00:11:20.206 --> 00:11:22.341
It's a grown man with withered legs on a pillow.
00:11:22.408 --> 00:11:26.912
With withered legs on a pillow. a grown man full of potential
00:11:26.979 --> 00:11:28.948
A grown man full of potential but not living up to any measure
00:11:29.014 --> 00:11:30.549
But not living up to any measure of it because the bones
00:11:30.616 --> 00:11:32.718
Of it because the bones in his feet
00:11:32.785 --> 00:11:33.319
In his feet and his ankles are weak.
00:11:33.385 --> 00:11:35.855
And his ankles are weak. a grown man able to communicate,
00:11:35.921 --> 00:11:39.625
A grown man able to communicate, having the opportunity
00:11:39.692 --> 00:11:42.728
Having the opportunity to mentally, educationally,
00:11:42.795 --> 00:11:45.898
To mentally, educationally, and in every way, grow,
00:11:45.965 --> 00:11:47.533
And in every way, grow, develop, and succeed,
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.969
Develop, and succeed, but has no fruit to show
00:11:50.035 --> 00:11:51.103
But has no fruit to show for it because the bones
00:11:51.170 --> 00:11:53.072
For it because the bones in his feet and his ankles
00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:55.207
In his feet and his ankles are withered.
00:11:55.274 --> 00:11:57.376
Are withered. it's a beautiful place,
00:11:57.443 --> 00:11:58.878
It's a beautiful place, and yet it's got this blemish.
00:11:58.944 --> 00:12:03.115
And yet it's got this blemish. how many lives,
00:12:03.182 --> 00:12:05.317
How many lives, when you look at them
00:12:05.384 --> 00:12:05.951
When you look at them from a distance,
00:12:06.018 --> 00:12:06.986
From a distance, are beautiful,
00:12:07.052 --> 00:12:09.054
Are beautiful, but the closer you get,
00:12:09.121 --> 00:12:10.956
But the closer you get, you start to see the blemishes?
00:12:11.023 --> 00:12:13.993
You start to see the blemishes? how many places in your life,
00:12:14.059 --> 00:12:15.528
How many places in your life, whenever you consider them,
00:12:15.594 --> 00:12:17.663
Whenever you consider them, i mean all the big
00:12:17.730 --> 00:12:18.297
I mean all the big stuff is good,
00:12:18.364 --> 00:12:20.132
Stuff is good, but it's just the little
00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:20.966
But it's just the little things that need to be better?
00:12:21.033 --> 00:12:24.403
Things that need to be better? have you ever met
00:12:24.470 --> 00:12:25.070
Have you ever met anybody who's got major
00:12:25.137 --> 00:12:27.907
Anybody who's got major problems with minor issues,
00:12:27.973 --> 00:12:30.843
Problems with minor issues, and the minor issues
00:12:30.910 --> 00:12:31.777
And the minor issues are causing major problems?
00:12:31.844 --> 00:12:35.014
Are causing major problems? he's got a leg,
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.683
He's got a leg, he just can't use it.
00:12:37.750 --> 00:12:39.919
He just can't use it. he's got a mind and a mouth
00:12:39.985 --> 00:12:41.287
He's got a mind and a mouth because he's sitting
00:12:41.353 --> 00:12:42.087
Because he's sitting on a pillow asking for alms.
00:12:42.154 --> 00:12:45.691
On a pillow asking for alms. but as good a communicator
00:12:45.758 --> 00:12:46.792
But as good a communicator as he might be,
00:12:46.859 --> 00:12:48.027
As he might be, we'll never hear his true gifts
00:12:48.093 --> 00:12:49.628
We'll never hear his true gifts because he's not able
00:12:49.695 --> 00:12:50.396
Because he's not able to go into the temple.
00:12:50.462 --> 00:12:51.330
To go into the temple. you see, the bible --
00:12:51.397 --> 00:12:52.398
You see, the bible -- the law said that the lame
00:12:52.464 --> 00:12:55.000
The law said that the lame and the blind could not enter.
00:12:55.067 --> 00:12:56.569
And the blind could not enter. that's why he's sitting outside
00:12:56.635 --> 00:12:58.137
That's why he's sitting outside the temple and not
00:12:58.204 --> 00:12:59.205
The temple and not inside the temple.
00:12:59.271 --> 00:13:01.207
Inside the temple. he's close
00:13:01.273 --> 00:13:02.575
He's close to the presence of god
00:13:02.641 --> 00:13:04.243
To the presence of god but he's not in the presence
00:13:04.310 --> 00:13:05.544
But he's not in the presence of god.
00:13:05.611 --> 00:13:07.379
Of god. he's in proximity,
00:13:07.446 --> 00:13:08.881
He's in proximity, but he's not participating.
00:13:08.948 --> 00:13:12.218
But he's not participating. every sunday,
00:13:12.284 --> 00:13:13.052
Every sunday, there's people in this church
00:13:13.118 --> 00:13:14.820
There's people in this church who are in the proximity
00:13:14.887 --> 00:13:16.121
Who are in the proximity of god's presence,
00:13:16.188 --> 00:13:16.989
Of god's presence, but they won't participate.
00:13:17.056 --> 00:13:20.559
But they won't participate. all you gotta do
00:13:20.626 --> 00:13:21.293
All you gotta do is watch them during worship.
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:22.461
[laughter]
00:13:24.997 --> 00:13:27.766
We're playing a fast song.
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.201
[laughter]
00:13:30.169 --> 00:13:31.437
We're playing a slow song.
00:13:31.837 --> 00:13:32.671
[laughter]
00:13:33.272 --> 00:13:34.473
We're playing no song.
00:13:34.874 --> 00:13:35.841
[laughter]
00:13:36.308 --> 00:13:38.077
It's not enough
00:13:39.845 --> 00:13:40.512
It's not enough to be in the room,
00:13:40.579 --> 00:13:41.413
To be in the room, you've gotta actually
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.281
You've gotta actually participate in what's going on.
00:13:42.348 --> 00:13:43.816
[applause]
00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:52.258
And this poor man
00:13:53.125 --> 00:13:54.159
And this poor man on the pillow,
00:13:54.226 --> 00:13:54.960
On the pillow, lame from his mother's womb,
00:13:55.027 --> 00:13:57.830
Lame from his mother's womb, he's close to the answer,
00:13:57.897 --> 00:13:59.331
He's close to the answer, but he can't receive
00:13:59.398 --> 00:14:00.332
But he can't receive from the answer because
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.234
From the answer because he's got a little issue
00:14:02.301 --> 00:14:03.636
He's got a little issue and it's causing major problems.
00:14:03.702 --> 00:14:08.941
And it's causing major problems. here he sits asking for alms.
00:14:09.008 --> 00:14:13.479
Here he sits asking for alms. here he sits begging
00:14:13.545 --> 00:14:15.648
Here he sits begging for change.
00:14:15.714 --> 00:14:18.217
For change. he's hoping that someone's
00:14:18.284 --> 00:14:19.885
He's hoping that someone's sympathy will throw
00:14:19.952 --> 00:14:20.920
Sympathy will throw a quarter into his cup.
00:14:20.986 --> 00:14:25.190
A quarter into his cup. and while the bible
00:14:25.257 --> 00:14:25.858
And while the bible uses the word, "alms,"
00:14:25.925 --> 00:14:28.961
Uses the word, "alms," the picture is
00:14:29.028 --> 00:14:29.795
The picture is he's begging, "change,
00:14:29.862 --> 00:14:32.731
He's begging, "change, change, change."
00:14:32.798 --> 00:14:37.870
Change, change." the pharisees,
00:14:37.937 --> 00:14:40.406
The pharisees, they're too important.
00:14:40.472 --> 00:14:42.441
They're too important. they've got business
00:14:42.508 --> 00:14:43.342
They've got business inside the temple.
00:14:43.409 --> 00:14:44.543
Inside the temple. they can't be bothered
00:14:44.610 --> 00:14:45.978
They can't be bothered by this man.
00:14:46.045 --> 00:14:48.180
By this man. so, they just ignore him.
00:14:48.247 --> 00:14:49.081
So, they just ignore him. they don't even look his
00:14:49.148 --> 00:14:49.882
They don't even look his direction when they walk by.
00:14:49.949 --> 00:14:51.917
Direction when they walk by. the sadducees and the scribes,
00:14:51.984 --> 00:14:55.854
The sadducees and the scribes, they're a little
00:14:55.921 --> 00:14:56.455
They're a little bit more judgmental.
00:14:56.522 --> 00:14:58.157
Bit more judgmental. you see,
00:14:58.223 --> 00:14:58.791
You see, they've studied the scriptures
00:14:58.857 --> 00:14:59.992
They've studied the scriptures and they know that god visits
00:15:00.059 --> 00:15:01.760
And they know that god visits iniquity to the third
00:15:01.827 --> 00:15:02.795
Iniquity to the third and the fourth generation.
00:15:02.861 --> 00:15:03.729
And the fourth generation. so, they're debating who sinned
00:15:03.796 --> 00:15:06.231
So, they're debating who sinned that this man would be in this
00:15:06.298 --> 00:15:07.866
That this man would be in this circumstance and in this way.
00:15:07.933 --> 00:15:10.069
Circumstance and in this way. they're trying to figure
00:15:10.135 --> 00:15:10.769
They're trying to figure out who's to blame
00:15:10.836 --> 00:15:12.438
Out who's to blame for his condition.
00:15:12.504 --> 00:15:14.306
For his condition. and what some people in church
00:15:14.373 --> 00:15:15.841
And what some people in church need to understand is that
00:15:15.908 --> 00:15:17.609
Need to understand is that there's not always somebody
00:15:17.676 --> 00:15:18.610
There's not always somebody to blame.
00:15:18.677 --> 00:15:19.211
To blame. sometimes, it's just the way
00:15:19.278 --> 00:15:20.746
Sometimes, it's just the way that it is until god moves.
00:15:20.813 --> 00:15:23.615
[applause]
00:15:24.016 --> 00:15:29.254
But what this individual begging
00:15:29.722 --> 00:15:31.056
But what this individual begging for change on this pillow
00:15:31.123 --> 00:15:32.791
For change on this pillow doesn't expect is that down
00:15:32.858 --> 00:15:34.727
Doesn't expect is that down the road are peter and john.
00:15:34.793 --> 00:15:37.863
The road are peter and john. and peter and john aren't
00:15:37.930 --> 00:15:39.264
And peter and john aren't pharisees puffed up with pride,
00:15:39.331 --> 00:15:41.633
Pharisees puffed up with pride, and peter and john aren't
00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:43.068
And peter and john aren't doctrinal theologians
00:15:43.135 --> 00:15:45.070
Doctrinal theologians who are too arrogant to look
00:15:45.137 --> 00:15:47.072
Who are too arrogant to look at this man
00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:47.906
At this man and consider him in need.
00:15:47.973 --> 00:15:49.074
And consider him in need. peter and john
00:15:49.141 --> 00:15:50.275
Peter and john have been with jesus
00:15:50.342 --> 00:15:52.077
Have been with jesus and they've seen jesus
00:15:52.144 --> 00:15:53.445
And they've seen jesus touch the untouchable,
00:15:53.512 --> 00:15:54.680
Touch the untouchable, and they've seen jesus
00:15:54.747 --> 00:15:55.914
And they've seen jesus love the unlovable,
00:15:55.981 --> 00:15:57.182
Love the unlovable, and they've seen jesus
00:15:57.249 --> 00:15:58.417
And they've seen jesus do the impossible.
00:15:58.484 --> 00:15:59.818
Do the impossible. so, what this guy doesn't
00:15:59.885 --> 00:16:00.953
So, what this guy doesn't know is that peter and john
00:16:01.020 --> 00:16:02.855
Know is that peter and john are walking his way,
00:16:02.921 --> 00:16:04.623
Are walking his way, and what peter and john have
00:16:04.690 --> 00:16:06.458
And what peter and john have seen causes them to believe
00:16:06.525 --> 00:16:08.360
Seen causes them to believe that jesus is the one who
00:16:08.427 --> 00:16:10.262
That jesus is the one who can make that guy change.
00:16:10.329 --> 00:16:11.764
[applause]
00:16:12.731 --> 00:16:18.737
I have a question for you.
00:16:21.373 --> 00:16:23.108
I have a question for you. what do you expect when
00:16:23.175 --> 00:16:24.510
What do you expect when you come to church?
00:16:24.576 --> 00:16:27.046
You come to church? what you expect has a lot
00:16:27.112 --> 00:16:28.614
What you expect has a lot to do with what you receive.
00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:31.383
To do with what you receive. and if you come
00:16:31.450 --> 00:16:32.484
And if you come for traditional reasons,
00:16:32.551 --> 00:16:33.385
For traditional reasons, or you come
00:16:33.452 --> 00:16:33.986
Or you come for personal reasons,
00:16:34.053 --> 00:16:34.920
For personal reasons, or you come
00:16:34.987 --> 00:16:35.587
Or you come for no reason at all,
00:16:35.654 --> 00:16:38.390
For no reason at all, then that pretty much gives you
00:16:38.457 --> 00:16:39.992
Then that pretty much gives you the understanding and foundation
00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:41.460
The understanding and foundation of what you can
00:16:41.527 --> 00:16:42.227
Of what you can expect to receive.
00:16:42.294 --> 00:16:44.029
Expect to receive. but when you realize that
00:16:44.096 --> 00:16:45.564
But when you realize that in this room is the presence
00:16:45.631 --> 00:16:48.100
In this room is the presence of the living god,
00:16:48.167 --> 00:16:49.334
Of the living god, and in this room is the power
00:16:49.401 --> 00:16:51.103
And in this room is the power to do whatever you ask,
00:16:51.170 --> 00:16:52.838
To do whatever you ask, or whatever you need,
00:16:52.905 --> 00:16:53.906
Or whatever you need, or whatever you believe,

To expect something to change. my prayer for this church
00:16:59.078 --> 00:17:00.412
My prayer for this church is that every time we gather,
00:17:00.479 --> 00:17:02.381
Is that every time we gather, we start to expect
00:17:02.448 --> 00:17:03.482
We start to expect to see people healed.
00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:04.883
To see people healed. we start to expect
00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:06.118
We start to expect to see lives changed.
00:17:06.185 --> 00:17:07.519
To see lives changed. we start to expect to see
00:17:07.586 --> 00:17:08.954
We start to expect to see chains of addiction broken.
00:17:09.021 --> 00:17:10.522
Chains of addiction broken. we start to expect

We start to expect to see abundance poured out.
00:17:14.726 --> 00:17:16.495
To see abundance poured out. we start to expect to see powers
00:17:16.562 --> 00:17:18.530
We start to expect to see powers and principalities defeated
00:17:18.597 --> 00:17:20.065
And principalities defeated and conquered.
00:17:20.132 --> 00:17:20.833
And conquered. we don't consider it a special
00:17:20.899 --> 00:17:22.434
We don't consider it a special sunday when these things happen.
00:17:22.501 --> 00:17:24.470
Sunday when these things happen. we consider it the day
00:17:24.536 --> 00:17:25.737
We consider it the day that the lord has made
00:17:25.804 --> 00:17:27.106
That the lord has made that we might rejoice
00:17:27.172 --> 00:17:28.373
That we might rejoice and be glad in it.

Jesus breathed on them and said, "receive ye the holy spirit."
00:17:48.594 --> 00:17:52.131

They speak in new tongues, they go out,

Between the information you receive,
00:18:45.184 --> 00:18:47.686

The power and the impartation of touch.
00:22:09.921 --> 00:22:13.191
Of touch. we often ask our leaders
