Harvest with Pastor Greg Laurie | Greg Laurie - Revive Us Again | April 14, 2025
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.043
  • Greg laurie: it's so easy to say,
  • 00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:05.248
  • "well, the church should do this,
  • 00:00:05.382 --> 00:00:06.883
  • And other christians should do that."
  • 00:00:07.017 --> 00:00:08.585
  • Don't worry about the church.
  • 00:00:08.718 --> 00:00:10.020
  • Don't worry about that other christian.
  • 00:00:10.153 --> 00:00:11.521
  • Start with you.
  • 00:00:11.621 --> 00:00:12.856
  • Are you living a passionate relationship with christ
  • 00:00:12.989 --> 00:00:17.527
  • Right now?
  • 00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:18.862
  • If not, return to the lord again.
  • 00:00:18.995 --> 00:00:23.133
  • Recommit yourself to the lord again.
  • 00:00:23.266 --> 00:00:26.503
  • ♪ this is the day ♪
  • 00:00:29.939 --> 00:00:32.242
  • ♪ the day when life begins ♪
  • 00:00:32.242 --> 00:00:37.547
  • ♪ this is the day ♪
  • 00:00:37.547 --> 00:00:40.183
  • ♪ the day when life begins ♪♪
  • 00:00:40.183 --> 00:00:44.954
  • Greg: america is at a crossroads right now.
  • 00:00:47.957 --> 00:00:52.796
  • It seems in many ways that our nation is unraveling
  • 00:00:52.862 --> 00:00:56.166
  • Before our very eyes.
  • 00:00:56.166 --> 00:00:57.967
  • Crime is up, drug use is up, hopelessness is up, and i think
  • 00:00:57.967 --> 00:01:04.374
  • The primary reason for this is because we have rejected
  • 00:01:04.374 --> 00:01:08.278
  • What god says in his word.
  • 00:01:08.278 --> 00:01:10.980
  • The bible says, "be careful because if you sow the wind,
  • 00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:14.317
  • You'll reap the whirlwind."
  • 00:01:14.317 --> 00:01:16.553
  • We're in a time where many are wanting to redefine what god
  • 00:01:16.553 --> 00:01:20.824
  • Has already defined, and we're seeing the fallout as a result.
  • 00:01:20.824 --> 00:01:25.161
  • And now the headlines of the news sites are alarming because
  • 00:01:25.161 --> 00:01:29.532
  • We have world leaders talking about a potential nuclear
  • 00:01:29.532 --> 00:01:34.070
  • Armageddon, even using the word armageddon.
  • 00:01:34.070 --> 00:01:37.640
  • Here's just some of the headlines that are out there
  • 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.576
  • That i read recently.
  • 00:01:39.576 --> 00:01:40.944
  • "biden warns of nuclear 'armageddon.'
  • 00:01:40.944 --> 00:01:44.347
  • Usa stockpiles anti-radiation drugs.
  • 00:01:44.347 --> 00:01:47.984
  • Russia warns the u.s.
  • 00:01:47.984 --> 00:01:49.452
  • It will start nuclear exercises this week.
  • 00:01:49.452 --> 00:01:53.089
  • North korea's recent drills show west cannot ignore
  • 00:01:53.089 --> 00:01:56.893
  • Nuclear threat."
  • 00:01:56.893 --> 00:01:58.328
  • What on earth is going on in this world?
  • 00:01:58.328 --> 00:02:02.065
  • President biden recently said, and i quote,
  • 00:02:02.065 --> 00:02:04.601
  • "the risk of nuclear armageddon is at the highest level since
  • 00:02:04.601 --> 00:02:07.837
  • The 1962 cuban missile crisis."
  • 00:02:07.837 --> 00:02:12.175
  • And i remember it because i was around in 1962.
  • 00:02:12.242 --> 00:02:16.779
  • That's how old i was.
  • 00:02:16.779 --> 00:02:18.114
  • I was 10 years old.
  • 00:02:18.114 --> 00:02:19.582
  • And i remember being in elementary school
  • 00:02:19.582 --> 00:02:21.784
  • And having the teacher put us through bomb drills, and say,
  • 00:02:21.784 --> 00:02:24.587
  • "in case there's an atomic blast, everybody get under your
  • 00:02:24.587 --> 00:02:27.957
  • Desks," like that was going to protect us from an atomic blast.
  • 00:02:27.957 --> 00:02:33.496
  • But here we are again, so many years later, talking about
  • 00:02:33.496 --> 00:02:36.599
  • The same thing.
  • 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:37.934
  • And, you know, anytime a world leader uses the word armageddon,
  • 00:02:37.934 --> 00:02:41.771
  • We should pay attention.
  • 00:02:41.771 --> 00:02:44.073
  • And in many ways, the times we're living in now reminds me
  • 00:02:44.073 --> 00:02:47.410
  • A lot of the late '60s and the early '70s.
  • 00:02:47.410 --> 00:02:50.980
  • Drug use is up today.
  • 00:02:50.980 --> 00:02:52.815
  • Drug use was just really exploding into the culture
  • 00:02:52.815 --> 00:02:56.486
  • Back then.
  • 00:02:56.486 --> 00:02:57.820
  • Back in those days, we were taking drugs because we were on
  • 00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:01.858
  • A search, trying to find truth, or something, at least.
  • 00:03:01.858 --> 00:03:05.995
  • Today, many take drugs just to escape their pain.
  • 00:03:05.995 --> 00:03:09.632
  • Ironically, marijuana and lsd use is up dramatically--
  • 00:03:09.632 --> 00:03:13.736
  • The same drugs we were using back then.
  • 00:03:13.736 --> 00:03:15.738
  • In fact, i read recently more americans are smoking pot
  • 00:03:15.738 --> 00:03:19.442
  • Than cigarettes right now.
  • 00:03:19.442 --> 00:03:21.477
  • This has led to a full-blown opioid epidemic.
  • 00:03:21.477 --> 00:03:25.748
  • There's been a 300% increase in fentanyl deaths.
  • 00:03:25.748 --> 00:03:30.987
  • Three hundred people a day die from fentanyl.
  • 00:03:30.987 --> 00:03:35.925
  • It's crazy.
  • 00:03:35.925 --> 00:03:37.260
  • This young generation today is looking for answers.
  • 00:03:37.260 --> 00:03:40.797
  • Self-harm is up 334%.
  • 00:03:40.797 --> 00:03:44.167
  • Overdoses are up 119%.
  • 00:03:44.167 --> 00:03:47.503
  • Anxiety and depression is up.
  • 00:03:47.503 --> 00:03:49.606
  • The us suicide rate has increased dramatically
  • 00:03:49.606 --> 00:03:53.042
  • Since the year 2000, and it's tripled for young girls.
  • 00:03:53.042 --> 00:03:56.879
  • Maybe that's why one expert dubbed generation z
  • 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.017
  • The hopeless generation.
  • 00:04:01.017 --> 00:04:02.885
  • Well, listen, i'm not gonna sit back and just watch this happen.
  • 00:04:02.885 --> 00:04:07.090
  • We've got to do something.
  • 00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:08.958
  • California, this is your wake-up call.
  • 00:04:08.958 --> 00:04:11.861
  • America, this is your wake-up call.
  • 00:04:11.861 --> 00:04:14.464
  • It's time to pray.
  • 00:04:14.464 --> 00:04:20.570
  • So you hear words like spiritual awakening, revival,
  • 00:04:20.570 --> 00:04:25.708
  • Jesus revolution, you might wonder,
  • 00:04:25.708 --> 00:04:27.944
  • "what does that even mean?"
  • 00:04:27.944 --> 00:04:29.579
  • Well, let's just take the word revival and demystify it
  • 00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:34.017
  • A little bit.
  • 00:04:34.017 --> 00:04:35.385
  • It just means to restore.
  • 00:04:35.385 --> 00:04:36.719
  • To restore to original condition.
  • 00:04:36.719 --> 00:04:39.389
  • So when i say, "a christian should be revived," what
  • 00:04:39.389 --> 00:04:42.392
  • I'm really saying is a christian should just be,
  • 00:04:42.392 --> 00:04:45.194
  • Well, a christian.
  • 00:04:45.194 --> 00:04:47.530
  • A real christian.
  • 00:04:47.530 --> 00:04:48.898
  • See, there's a lot of fake christians out there right now.
  • 00:04:48.898 --> 00:04:52.969
  • There's a lot of posers.
  • 00:04:52.969 --> 00:04:54.704
  • People that pretend to be believers but are not at all.
  • 00:04:54.704 --> 00:04:58.174
  • The apostle paul asked this question: "are you really
  • 00:04:58.174 --> 00:05:01.010
  • Christians, or are you just pretending to be christians
  • 00:05:01.010 --> 00:05:04.947
  • When you really aren't at all?"
  • 00:05:04.947 --> 00:05:06.983
  • Do you pass the test?
  • 00:05:06.983 --> 00:05:08.951
  • A lot of us are faking.
  • 00:05:08.951 --> 00:05:11.154
  • But listen, you can fool all of the people some of the time,
  • 00:05:11.154 --> 00:05:14.190
  • You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't
  • 00:05:14.190 --> 00:05:17.293
  • Fool god any of the time.
  • 00:05:17.293 --> 00:05:19.562
  • Right?
  • 00:05:19.562 --> 00:05:20.897
  • He knows.
  • 00:05:20.897 --> 00:05:22.265
  • He knows, and you know.
  • 00:05:22.265 --> 00:05:23.766
  • We need a revival.
  • 00:05:23.766 --> 00:05:25.101
  • We need to be real christians.
  • 00:05:25.101 --> 00:05:26.636
  • The early church turned their world upside down.
  • 00:05:26.636 --> 00:05:29.906
  • Today, i fear the world is turning the church upside down.
  • 00:05:29.906 --> 00:05:33.142
  • It's time for us to let our light so shine for jesus christ
  • 00:05:33.142 --> 00:05:37.280
  • And live this life, earning us the right to share the gospel
  • 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:41.217
  • With others.
  • 00:05:41.217 --> 00:05:42.585
  • Right?
  • 00:05:42.585 --> 00:05:46.489
  • We need a revival.
  • 00:05:46.489 --> 00:05:48.725
  • A great evangelist named billy sunday once said, "they tell me
  • 00:05:48.725 --> 00:05:51.828
  • A revival is only temporary, but so is a bath,
  • 00:05:51.828 --> 00:05:55.965
  • And it does you good."
  • 00:05:55.965 --> 00:05:57.800
  • Yeah, we could use that bath right now.
  • 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.136
  • Revival is when god gets so sick and tired of being
  • 00:06:00.136 --> 00:06:03.106
  • Misrepresented, he shows up himself.
  • 00:06:03.106 --> 00:06:07.210
  • So i was talking to chuck smith once, who is regarded by most
  • 00:06:07.210 --> 00:06:12.014
  • As the father of the jesus movement.
  • 00:06:12.014 --> 00:06:15.218
  • And i asked him, "chuck, do you think we'll other--
  • 00:06:15.218 --> 00:06:18.521
  • Ever see another jesus revolution?
  • 00:06:18.521 --> 00:06:21.491
  • Another jesus movement?"
  • 00:06:21.491 --> 00:06:22.859
  • His response was, "greg, i don't know if we're desperate
  • 00:06:22.859 --> 00:06:26.396
  • Enough yet."
  • 00:06:26.396 --> 00:06:27.930
  • Well, some time has passed since then, and i think we may be
  • 00:06:27.930 --> 00:06:31.501
  • Desperate enough again.
  • 00:06:31.501 --> 00:06:33.870
  • The prophet habakkuk understood this when he prayed this prayer:
  • 00:06:33.870 --> 00:06:37.273
  • "i've heard all that you've done, lord.
  • 00:06:37.273 --> 00:06:39.108
  • I'm filled with awe by the amazing things you've done.
  • 00:06:39.108 --> 00:06:42.245
  • In this time of deep need, revive your work as you did
  • 00:06:42.245 --> 00:06:46.816
  • In days gone by."
  • 00:06:46.816 --> 00:06:48.684
  • So some of you are young, and you're saying, "wow, that must
  • 00:06:48.684 --> 00:06:51.053
  • Have been a cool time to be in the middle of
  • 00:06:51.053 --> 00:06:52.622
  • A spiritual awakening."
  • 00:06:52.622 --> 00:06:54.123
  • Pray that god will do it in your time.
  • 00:06:54.123 --> 00:06:56.426
  • Listen, my generation-- the boomers--
  • 00:06:56.426 --> 00:06:59.629
  • Our day is coming to a close.
  • 00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:01.664
  • The boomers have done their thing, now it's time
  • 00:07:01.664 --> 00:07:03.299
  • For the zoomers, okay?
  • 00:07:03.299 --> 00:07:05.935
  • It's time for you to have your own spiritual awakening.
  • 00:07:05.935 --> 00:07:08.604
  • My generation, the boomers, we've gone from acid rock
  • 00:07:08.604 --> 00:07:12.875
  • To acid reflux.
  • 00:07:12.875 --> 00:07:16.312
  • Bands from our era are still touring.
  • 00:07:16.312 --> 00:07:18.481
  • The who, they're still out there playing in stadiums.
  • 00:07:18.481 --> 00:07:21.417
  • But instead of singing, "talking 'bout my generation,"
  • 00:07:21.417 --> 00:07:25.121
  • Now they're singing, "talking 'bout my medication."
  • 00:07:25.121 --> 00:07:27.824
  • See, things have changed.
  • 00:07:27.824 --> 00:07:30.126
  • So it's your turn now.
  • 00:07:30.126 --> 00:07:31.794
  • We're praying that your generation will have your own
  • 00:07:31.794 --> 00:07:34.397
  • Spiritual awakening.
  • 00:07:34.397 --> 00:07:36.032
  • You know, when we made this film, "jesus revolution,"
  • 00:07:36.032 --> 00:07:39.168
  • We did not make that to have a peace-sign nostalgia fest of
  • 00:07:39.168 --> 00:07:43.840
  • A bunch of old baby boomers.
  • 00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:45.708
  • Telling the story of a revival can inspire another generation
  • 00:07:45.708 --> 00:07:50.980
  • To pray for their own.
  • 00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:52.548
  • The fame of revival spreads the flame of revival,
  • 00:07:52.548 --> 00:07:56.686
  • So we're saying, "lord, do it again."
  • 00:07:56.686 --> 00:07:59.255
  • Okay, now i wanna show you a scene from the
  • 00:07:59.255 --> 00:08:02.391
  • "jesus revolution" film.
  • 00:08:02.391 --> 00:08:04.760
  • How many of you wanna see a scene from the film, okay?
  • 00:08:04.760 --> 00:08:08.798
  • This is a great scene.
  • 00:08:08.798 --> 00:08:10.833
  • It's a great scene based on a true story.
  • 00:08:10.833 --> 00:08:13.669
  • The whole youth culture is just unraveling, and chuck's an older
  • 00:08:13.669 --> 00:08:17.807
  • Guy, and he doesn't know what's going on.
  • 00:08:17.807 --> 00:08:20.376
  • He doesn't see any hope for this generation.
  • 00:08:20.376 --> 00:08:22.778
  • But his wife, kay, has a heart for these young kids.
  • 00:08:22.778 --> 00:08:26.449
  • And his daughter, jan, tells her dad, "you should be more open
  • 00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:31.521
  • To reaching them.
  • 00:08:31.521 --> 00:08:32.855
  • You've never even met a hippie."
  • 00:08:32.855 --> 00:08:34.423
  • And chuck says, "well, if god brings me a hippie,
  • 00:08:34.423 --> 00:08:37.894
  • I'll talk to him."
  • 00:08:37.894 --> 00:08:39.595
  • So jan goes out and finds this hippie evangelist named
  • 00:08:39.595 --> 00:08:43.032
  • Lonnie frisbee, and she brought him to her dad.
  • 00:08:43.032 --> 00:08:46.736
  • And this is what happened next.
  • 00:08:46.736 --> 00:08:49.672
  • Look at the screen.
  • 00:08:49.672 --> 00:08:51.007
  • Chuck smith: tell me about yourself, lonnie,
  • 00:08:51.007 --> 00:08:52.441
  • And your people.
  • 00:08:52.441 --> 00:08:57.647
  • Lonnie frisbee: my people.
  • 00:08:57.647 --> 00:09:01.017
  • Lonnie: i like the sound of that.
  • 00:09:01.017 --> 00:09:04.520
  • You know, it reminds me of the words of jesus.
  • 00:09:04.520 --> 00:09:09.358
  • "to what, then, can i compare the people of this generation?
  • 00:09:09.358 --> 00:09:13.529
  • What are they like?"
  • 00:09:13.529 --> 00:09:16.265
  • I was up in san francisco for a long time.
  • 00:09:16.265 --> 00:09:19.702
  • Living in haight-ashbury.
  • 00:09:19.702 --> 00:09:21.170
  • On the streets.
  • 00:09:21.170 --> 00:09:22.538
  • All over.
  • 00:09:22.538 --> 00:09:23.873
  • Man, we did everything and everyone.
  • 00:09:23.873 --> 00:09:28.411
  • But that was the point.
  • 00:09:28.411 --> 00:09:30.446
  • You see, the drugs, it's a quest.
  • 00:09:30.446 --> 00:09:38.621
  • Chuck: for what?
  • 00:09:38.621 --> 00:09:40.623
  • Lonnie: for god.
  • 00:09:40.623 --> 00:09:43.626
  • How can you not see that?
  • 00:09:43.626 --> 00:09:46.796
  • There is an entire generation right now searching for god.
  • 00:09:46.796 --> 00:09:53.302
  • Man, we thought acid was gonna save the world.
  • 00:09:53.302 --> 00:09:57.139
  • Thank you.
  • 00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.507
  • Chuck: thanks, mom.
  • 00:09:58.507 --> 00:09:59.842
  • Lonnie: but that was a lie.
  • 00:09:59.842 --> 00:10:01.911
  • As much of a lie as what we were rebelling against.
  • 00:10:01.911 --> 00:10:05.848
  • Chuck: and what brought you to that realization?
  • 00:10:05.848 --> 00:10:09.819
  • Lonnie: i kept searching and searching.
  • 00:10:09.819 --> 00:10:12.722
  • I just finally got to the end of it, and then was still a void.
  • 00:10:12.722 --> 00:10:18.127
  • And my people?
  • 00:10:18.127 --> 00:10:20.596
  • Well, they're a desperate bunch.
  • 00:10:20.596 --> 00:10:25.901
  • And desperation, man, there's power in that word.
  • 00:10:25.901 --> 00:10:34.076
  • What would it take for you, chuck smith, to be desperate?
  • 00:10:34.076 --> 00:10:43.753
  • Jeanette tells me you're a pastor.
  • 00:10:43.753 --> 00:10:47.323
  • Chuck: yes, currently.
  • 00:10:47.323 --> 00:10:52.361
  • Lonnie: i know we must seem pretty strange, but if you look
  • 00:10:52.361 --> 00:10:58.034
  • A little deeper, if you look with love, you'll see a bunch
  • 00:10:58.034 --> 00:11:03.272
  • Of kids that are searching for all the right things just
  • 00:11:03.272 --> 00:11:07.777
  • In all the wrong places.
  • 00:11:07.777 --> 00:11:09.311
  • So to answer your question, how do i describe my people?
  • 00:11:13.215 --> 00:11:21.490
  • They're sheep without a shepherd, chasing hard
  • 00:11:21.490 --> 00:11:26.095
  • After lies.
  • 00:11:26.095 --> 00:11:28.164
  • And the trouble is, your people reject them.
  • 00:11:28.164 --> 00:11:33.969
  • So i ask you, pastor, how can they believe in the one
  • 00:11:33.969 --> 00:11:39.375
  • Of whom they have not heard?
  • 00:11:39.375 --> 00:11:42.978
  • We can only walk through doors open to us.
  • 00:11:42.978 --> 00:11:47.483
  • And your church, well, that's a door that's shut.
  • 00:11:47.483 --> 00:12:03.499
  • Greg: powerful.
  • 00:12:06.902 --> 00:12:09.939
  • Pastor chuck smith had the original vision to do
  • 00:12:09.939 --> 00:12:12.541
  • These harvest crusades over 30 years ago.
  • 00:12:12.541 --> 00:12:15.444
  • He stood on this platform for many years.
  • 00:12:15.444 --> 00:12:17.580
  • Many of you remember him, but he had this vision, and to his
  • 00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:21.050
  • Credit, chuck opened the door.
  • 00:12:21.050 --> 00:12:23.886
  • He let the hippies in.
  • 00:12:23.886 --> 00:12:25.821
  • And when chuck met lonnie, it was like nitro met glycerin.
  • 00:12:25.821 --> 00:12:30.893
  • And the result was explosive, and his spiritual awakening
  • 00:12:30.893 --> 00:12:35.297
  • Broke out, and we pray that god will do it again.
  • 00:12:35.297 --> 00:12:37.900
  • So we want to see a spiritual revival.
  • 00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:40.669
  • What should we do?
  • 00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:42.004
  • 2 chronicles 7:14 actually lays out what we ought to do
  • 00:12:42.004 --> 00:12:47.209
  • If we wanna see this spiritual awakening.
  • 00:12:47.209 --> 00:12:49.645
  • God says, "if my people, which are called by my name, will
  • 00:12:49.645 --> 00:12:53.315
  • Humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their
  • 00:12:53.315 --> 00:12:57.853
  • Wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven, and forgive their
  • 00:12:57.853 --> 00:13:01.590
  • Sin and heal their land."
  • 00:13:01.590 --> 00:13:04.660
  • What a powerful verse that is.
  • 00:13:04.660 --> 00:13:07.429
  • We want god to heal our land.
  • 00:13:07.429 --> 00:13:10.232
  • America is filled with division.
  • 00:13:10.232 --> 00:13:12.802
  • America is filled with conflict.
  • 00:13:12.802 --> 00:13:15.371
  • Some even think we can have another civil war.
  • 00:13:15.371 --> 00:13:18.140
  • God help us.
  • 00:13:18.140 --> 00:13:19.508
  • Lord, heal our land.
  • 00:13:19.508 --> 00:13:20.910
  • But notice where god points his finger.
  • 00:13:20.910 --> 00:13:23.746
  • He doesn't point his finger at the white house.
  • 00:13:23.746 --> 00:13:26.382
  • He points his finger at his house.
  • 00:13:26.382 --> 00:13:30.186
  • At your house.
  • 00:13:30.186 --> 00:13:31.520
  • At my house.
  • 00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:32.888
  • He says, "if my people, which are called by my name,
  • 00:13:32.888 --> 00:13:35.124
  • Will humble themselves and pray."
  • 00:13:35.124 --> 00:13:36.492
  • He's talking to us who are believers.
  • 00:13:36.492 --> 00:13:38.994
  • He's saying you guys.
  • 00:13:38.994 --> 00:13:40.329
  • It starts with you.
  • 00:13:40.329 --> 00:13:42.131
  • "humble yourself and pray and seek my face and turn
  • 00:13:42.131 --> 00:13:45.801
  • From your wicked ways."
  • 00:13:45.801 --> 00:13:47.770
  • Do you have any wicked ways you need to turn from right now?
  • 00:13:47.770 --> 00:13:51.774
  • You say you're a christian, but yet you're living in sin.
  • 00:13:51.774 --> 00:13:55.277
  • You're doing things the bible says you should not do.
  • 00:13:55.277 --> 00:13:58.280
  • "hey, i'm a christian, but i'm partying and getting drunk
  • 00:13:58.280 --> 00:14:01.150
  • On the weekends."
  • 00:14:01.150 --> 00:14:02.484
  • "oh, i'm a christian, but i'm doing drugs."
  • 00:14:02.484 --> 00:14:04.486
  • "i'm doing--i'm a christian, but i'm sleeping with my
  • 00:14:04.486 --> 00:14:06.555
  • Boyfriend or my girlfriend or being unfaithful to my spouse."
  • 00:14:06.555 --> 00:14:09.792
  • "i'm a christian, but i'm lying and ripping people off."
  • 00:14:09.792 --> 00:14:12.494
  • Hey, again, check up on yourself.
  • 00:14:12.494 --> 00:14:14.663
  • Are you really a christian, or are you just pretending to be
  • 00:14:14.663 --> 00:14:17.800
  • When you aren't one at all?
  • 00:14:17.800 --> 00:14:19.201
  • It's time to repent,
  • 00:14:19.201 --> 00:14:22.271
  • To repent of your sin.
  • 00:14:22.271 --> 00:14:27.643
  • God says, "i want to send an awakening."
  • 00:14:27.643 --> 00:14:30.379
  • And we point our finger at hollywood.
  • 00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:32.548
  • We point our finger at washington.
  • 00:14:32.548 --> 00:14:34.583
  • We point our finger at the culture.
  • 00:14:34.583 --> 00:14:36.518
  • God points his finger at us and says, "you guys, my people,
  • 00:14:36.518 --> 00:14:41.257
  • Turn from your wicked ways and call out to me."
  • 00:14:41.257 --> 00:14:45.194
  • Pray with passion.
  • 00:14:45.194 --> 00:14:47.529
  • Pray aggressively.
  • 00:14:47.529 --> 00:14:49.231
  • Don't take no for an answer.
  • 00:14:49.231 --> 00:14:51.000
  • Lord, send a revival.
  • 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.701
  • But listen, revival, awakening, starts with you.
  • 00:14:52.701 --> 00:14:56.105
  • Revival, or revolution, to use that word, just means to come
  • 00:14:56.105 --> 00:15:00.009
  • Back around again, returning to what we might call
  • 00:15:00.009 --> 00:15:05.047
  • One's first love.
  • 00:15:05.047 --> 00:15:06.382
  • Here's what jesus says in revelation chapter 2 to a church
  • 00:15:06.382 --> 00:15:10.552
  • That was doing just that.
  • 00:15:10.552 --> 00:15:11.887
  • He says, "you've left your first love.
  • 00:15:11.887 --> 00:15:15.024
  • Remember from where you have fallen; repent,
  • 00:15:15.024 --> 00:15:17.493
  • And do the first works."
  • 00:15:17.493 --> 00:15:19.228
  • Listen, if you wanna get right with god as one of his
  • 00:15:19.228 --> 00:15:21.764
  • Followers, there's three things you need to do.
  • 00:15:21.764 --> 00:15:24.433
  • I call them the three r's of getting right with god.
  • 00:15:24.433 --> 00:15:27.269
  • Number one, remember.
  • 00:15:27.269 --> 00:15:29.972
  • Mark that point in time where maybe your faith was stronger.
  • 00:15:29.972 --> 00:15:33.409
  • Mark that point in time when you were walking closely
  • 00:15:33.409 --> 00:15:36.812
  • With the lord.
  • 00:15:36.812 --> 00:15:38.347
  • Some of you looking at these scenes from this film are having
  • 00:15:38.347 --> 00:15:40.482
  • A flashback.
  • 00:15:40.482 --> 00:15:42.584
  • You say, "i was one of those jesus people.
  • 00:15:42.584 --> 00:15:45.888
  • I remember."
  • 00:15:45.888 --> 00:15:47.890
  • "clear!" [defibrillator shock]
  • 00:15:47.890 --> 00:15:49.591
  • "i'm still here."
  • 00:15:49.591 --> 00:15:51.961
  • Okay, that's nice.
  • 00:15:51.961 --> 00:15:53.295
  • I'm glad you were around back then, but how are you doing
  • 00:15:53.295 --> 00:15:54.897
  • With the lord now?
  • 00:15:54.897 --> 00:15:56.265
  • Remember.
  • 00:15:56.265 --> 00:15:57.933
  • Number two, if it's not the way it used to be, repent.
  • 00:15:57.933 --> 00:16:01.103
  • All the word repent means is to change your direction.
  • 00:16:01.103 --> 00:16:04.173
  • It's a military term.
  • 00:16:04.173 --> 00:16:05.641
  • It means to do an about face.
  • 00:16:05.641 --> 00:16:07.042
  • You just turn around like that, right?
  • 00:16:07.042 --> 00:16:09.378
  • So you turn back.
  • 00:16:09.378 --> 00:16:10.713
  • Remember, repent, and then repeat.
  • 00:16:10.713 --> 00:16:14.049
  • Repeat.
  • 00:16:14.049 --> 00:16:15.384
  • Do those first things again.
  • 00:16:15.384 --> 00:16:17.252
  • As the apostle paul says, "get back.
  • 00:16:17.252 --> 00:16:19.722
  • Get back.
  • 00:16:19.722 --> 00:16:21.056
  • Get back to where you once belong."
  • 00:16:21.056 --> 00:16:23.092
  • Oh, that's paul mccartney, not the apostle paul,
  • 00:16:23.092 --> 00:16:25.260
  • But i knew it was a paul.
  • 00:16:25.260 --> 00:16:27.763
  • That was a joke.
  • 00:16:27.763 --> 00:16:29.131
  • Not a very funny one, apparently.
  • 00:16:29.131 --> 00:16:31.133
  • All the old people went, "hey, pretty good."
  • 00:16:31.133 --> 00:16:32.701
  • Kids are like, "who?"
  • 00:16:32.701 --> 00:16:35.004
  • Kids, there was once a band called the beatles, okay?
  • 00:16:35.004 --> 00:16:37.639
  • Just saying.
  • 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.576
  • You're screaming for the beatles.
  • 00:16:40.576 --> 00:16:41.910
  • I'm glad to hear that.
  • 00:16:41.910 --> 00:16:43.278
  • Beatlemania is still alive, apparently.
  • 00:16:43.278 --> 00:16:46.382
  • No, but we need to let it start in our heart.
  • 00:16:46.382 --> 00:16:48.851
  • It's so easy to say, "well, the church should do this, and other
  • 00:16:48.851 --> 00:16:52.254
  • Christians should do that."
  • 00:16:52.254 --> 00:16:53.589
  • Don't worry about the church.
  • 00:16:53.589 --> 00:16:54.957
  • Don't worry about other christians.
  • 00:16:54.957 --> 00:16:56.458
  • Start with you.
  • 00:16:56.458 --> 00:16:57.826
  • Are you living a passionate relationship with christ
  • 00:16:57.826 --> 00:17:02.631
  • Right now?
  • 00:17:02.631 --> 00:17:03.966
  • If not, return to the lord again.
  • 00:17:03.966 --> 00:17:07.803
  • Recommit yourself to the lord again.
  • 00:17:07.803 --> 00:17:11.840
  • Greg: hey, everybody, greg laurie here with
  • 00:17:13.308 --> 00:17:14.643
  • Some thoughts about anxiety.
  • 00:17:14.643 --> 00:17:16.478
  • Well, there's a lot of things to be anxious about
  • 00:17:16.478 --> 00:17:19.214
  • Right now, aren't there?
  • 00:17:19.214 --> 00:17:21.250
  • All the turmoil in our country, all the fighting,
  • 00:17:21.250 --> 00:17:24.286
  • Which hasn't gotten better, it's actually gotten worse.
  • 00:17:24.286 --> 00:17:27.389
  • Can i make a couple of recommendations?
  • 00:17:27.389 --> 00:17:29.725
  • Maybe don't watch the news for hours on end.
  • 00:17:29.725 --> 00:17:33.662
  • Maybe don't spend all your time on twitter and fighting with
  • 00:17:33.662 --> 00:17:38.167
  • People on social media, et cetera.
  • 00:17:38.167 --> 00:17:40.069
  • And i'm not saying don't be uninformed 'cause we need to be
  • 00:17:40.069 --> 00:17:42.671
  • Aware of what's going on so we know how to pray intelligently,
  • 00:17:42.671 --> 00:17:46.375
  • But take time to fill your mind with the word of god,
  • 00:17:46.375 --> 00:17:50.946
  • Take time to focus on your relationship with god.
  • 00:17:50.946 --> 00:17:55.818
  • We all know this verse very well that says,
  • 00:17:55.818 --> 00:17:58.454
  • "don't worry about anything, pray about everything,
  • 00:17:58.454 --> 00:18:01.924
  • And the peace of god will guard your
  • 00:18:01.924 --> 00:18:04.259
  • Heart and mind in christ jesus."
  • 00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:05.594
  • Scripture also says, "thou will keep him in perfect peace who's
  • 00:18:05.594 --> 00:18:09.565
  • Mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee."

  • Greg: so let me answer the question that is on the minds
  • 00:19:19.234 --> 00:19:23.205
  • Of some, which is simply this: where are you going to go
  • 00:19:23.205 --> 00:19:27.643
  • When you die?
  • 00:19:27.643 --> 00:19:29.578
  • Many of us would say, "well, heaven."
  • 00:19:29.645 --> 00:19:31.380
  • Are you sure of that?
  • 00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:33.148
  • I mean, are you absolutely certain you will go to heaven
  • 00:19:33.215 --> 00:19:36.118
  • When you die?
  • 00:19:36.118 --> 00:19:37.452
  • You say, "well, i'm hoping that," you know,
  • 00:19:37.452 --> 00:19:38.787
  • "if i live a good life, the good lord will let me in."
  • 00:19:38.787 --> 00:19:41.323
  • But hold on.
  • 00:19:41.323 --> 00:19:42.658
  • You don't wanna risk this.
  • 00:19:42.658 --> 00:19:43.992
  • You wanna know for sure about this.
  • 00:19:43.992 --> 00:19:46.461
  • You wanna be ready.
  • 00:19:46.461 --> 00:19:48.030
  • You need to know the way.
  • 00:19:48.030 --> 00:19:49.498
  • Jesus said, "i am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man
  • 00:19:49.498 --> 00:19:52.901
  • Comes of the father but by me."
  • 00:19:52.901 --> 00:19:55.704
  • There's one way to heaven, and it's through jesus christ.
  • 00:19:55.704 --> 00:20:00.075
  • God has dropped one lifeline.
  • 00:20:00.075 --> 00:20:02.144
  • God has dropped one lifeline to heaven.
  • 00:20:05.013 --> 00:20:07.683
  • You don't just make up the rules as you go.
  • 00:20:07.683 --> 00:20:10.185
  • You wouldn't even use the word heaven if you had not heard it
  • 00:20:10.185 --> 00:20:13.722
  • From the bible.
  • 00:20:13.722 --> 00:20:15.057
  • It's a bible word.
  • 00:20:15.057 --> 00:20:16.425
  • It's a real place for real people to do real things.
  • 00:20:16.425 --> 00:20:20.762
  • "how do you get to heaven?
  • 00:20:20.762 --> 00:20:22.097
  • Living a good life?"
  • 00:20:22.097 --> 00:20:23.465
  • No, that's not gonna work.
  • 00:20:23.465 --> 00:20:24.800
  • Heard about a man that died and went to the pearly gates,
  • 00:20:24.800 --> 00:20:27.669
  • And peter met him.
  • 00:20:27.669 --> 00:20:29.137
  • And then peter said, "okay, buddy, this is how you get
  • 00:20:29.137 --> 00:20:31.440
  • Into heaven.
  • 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.774
  • It takes a thousand points."
  • 00:20:32.774 --> 00:20:34.576
  • This is a true story.
  • 00:20:34.643 --> 00:20:36.011
  • Not really.
  • 00:20:37.246 --> 00:20:38.614
  • Okay.
  • 00:20:38.614 --> 00:20:39.948
  • "takes a thousand points to get in, so tell me all the good
  • 00:20:39.948 --> 00:20:42.351
  • Things you've done in your life, and i'll give you points for
  • 00:20:42.351 --> 00:20:45.020
  • Everything good you've done."
  • 00:20:45.020 --> 00:20:47.155
  • The man said, "oh, okay.
  • 00:20:47.155 --> 00:20:48.523
  • Well, listen.
  • 00:20:48.523 --> 00:20:49.858
  • I've been married to the same woman for 50 years.
  • 00:20:49.858 --> 00:20:52.995
  • I've never cheated on her.
  • 00:20:52.995 --> 00:20:54.529
  • I've never even had an impure thought about another woman."
  • 00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:57.733
  • Peter said, "good.
  • 00:20:57.733 --> 00:20:59.201
  • That's worth three points."
  • 00:20:59.201 --> 00:21:00.535
  • "wait, three points?
  • 00:21:00.535 --> 00:21:02.404
  • How many do i need to get into heaven?"
  • 00:21:02.471 --> 00:21:04.072
  • Peter says, "you need a thousand."
  • 00:21:04.072 --> 00:21:05.574
  • "oh, wow.
  • 00:21:05.574 --> 00:21:06.942
  • Okay, wait."
  • 00:21:06.942 --> 00:21:08.277
  • This man says, "i went to church every sunday, and i supported
  • 00:21:08.277 --> 00:21:11.313
  • The church with my tithes."
  • 00:21:11.313 --> 00:21:12.648
  • Peter said, "that's good.
  • 00:21:12.648 --> 00:21:14.016
  • That's worth one point."
  • 00:21:14.016 --> 00:21:15.350
  • "one point?"
  • 00:21:15.350 --> 00:21:16.718
  • The guy says, "i set up a soup kitchen and opened up a shelter
  • 00:21:16.718 --> 00:21:20.122
  • For homeless people."
  • 00:21:20.122 --> 00:21:21.456
  • "that's good."
  • 00:21:21.456 --> 00:21:22.824
  • Peter said, "that's worth two points."
  • 00:21:22.824 --> 00:21:24.159
  • "two points?
  • 00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:25.527
  • At this rate, the only way i'm gonna get into heaven is
  • 00:21:25.527 --> 00:21:27.729
  • By the grace of god."
  • 00:21:27.729 --> 00:21:29.097
  • Peter said, "that's a thousand points.
  • 00:21:29.097 --> 00:21:30.432
  • Come on in."
  • 00:21:30.432 --> 00:21:31.833
  • See?
  • 00:21:32.167 --> 00:21:33.902
  • You think you're living a good life?
  • 00:21:37.673 --> 00:21:39.341
  • I hate to break this to you.
  • 00:21:39.341 --> 00:21:40.976
  • It's not good enough because the bible says, "we all fall short
  • 00:21:41.043 --> 00:21:44.846
  • Of the glory of god."
  • 00:21:44.846 --> 00:21:46.214
  • Listen to this: heaven is not for good people.
  • 00:21:46.214 --> 00:21:49.017
  • Heaven is for forgiven people.
  • 00:21:49.017 --> 00:21:51.253
  • Now, let me say something that might surprise you.
  • 00:21:52.421 --> 00:21:54.790
  • Listen to this: there's gonna be some bad people in heaven,
  • 00:21:54.790 --> 00:22:00.629
  • And there's gonna be some, quote, "good people" in hell.
  • 00:22:00.629 --> 00:22:04.966
  • "i don't get that at all."
  • 00:22:05.033 --> 00:22:06.401
  • Okay, let me explain.
  • 00:22:06.401 --> 00:22:08.170
  • There'll be some bad people in heaven.
  • 00:22:08.236 --> 00:22:11.573
  • "how do i get to heaven?"
  • 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:13.008
  • By turning from my sin and putting my faith in christ,
  • 00:22:13.008 --> 00:22:16.445
  • Who died for me on the cross.
  • 00:22:16.445 --> 00:22:18.080
  • Think about that man who was crucified next to jesus.
  • 00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:22.417
  • We call him the thief on the cross, but he was probably
  • 00:22:22.484 --> 00:22:25.587
  • Guilty--or guilty of a far worse crime than stealing.
  • 00:22:25.587 --> 00:22:29.925
  • Probably was a murderer, an insurrectionist.
  • 00:22:29.925 --> 00:22:32.828
  • But yet, he turned to jesus and said, "lord, remember me when
  • 00:22:32.828 --> 00:22:36.131
  • You come into your kingdom."
  • 00:22:36.131 --> 00:22:37.499
  • And jesus said, "truly, truly, i say to you, today you will be
  • 00:22:37.499 --> 00:22:41.937
  • With me in paradise."
  • 00:22:41.937 --> 00:22:43.839
  • Wow.
  • 00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:45.207
  • Talk about being at the right place at the right time.
  • 00:22:45.207 --> 00:22:49.378
  • That man was an evil man.
  • 00:22:49.378 --> 00:22:50.812
  • He was a sinful man.
  • 00:22:50.812 --> 00:22:52.247
  • But he said, "lord, remember me."
  • 00:22:52.247 --> 00:22:53.782
  • And jesus forgave him.
  • 00:22:53.782 --> 00:22:55.117
  • So, in a sense, a bad person is in heaven.
  • 00:22:55.117 --> 00:22:58.620
  • But then there'll be some good people in hell.
  • 00:22:58.620 --> 00:23:00.589
  • And by that, i mean people that trusted in their religion.
  • 00:23:00.589 --> 00:23:03.959
  • People that trusted in their good works.
  • 00:23:03.959 --> 00:23:06.461
  • The bible says, "it's not by works that god saves us,
  • 00:23:06.461 --> 00:23:10.799
  • But it's by his grace."
  • 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.968
  • That's how we get to heaven.
  • 00:23:12.968 --> 00:23:14.803
  • So how can you know for certain you'll go to heaven
  • 00:23:14.803 --> 00:23:17.839
  • When you die?
  • 00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:19.174
  • If you haven't heard anything else i've said tonight,
  • 00:23:19.174 --> 00:23:21.343
  • Listen to me now, because i'm almost done.
  • 00:23:21.343 --> 00:23:23.445
  • Number one, you must realize you're a sinner.
  • 00:23:23.445 --> 00:23:26.882
  • We have all sinned.
  • 00:23:26.882 --> 00:23:28.417
  • We've all fallen short of god's glory.
  • 00:23:28.417 --> 00:23:31.019
  • See, god has given us a standard of perfection.
  • 00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:33.789
  • None of us measures up.
  • 00:23:33.789 --> 00:23:35.390
  • Now, granted, some of us do better than others, but we still
  • 00:23:35.390 --> 00:23:39.127
  • Fall short.
  • 00:23:39.127 --> 00:23:40.462
  • So understand you're a sinner, and that's why you need
  • 00:23:40.462 --> 00:23:42.931
  • A savior.
  • 00:23:42.931 --> 00:23:44.266
  • And that's why jesus came.
  • 00:23:44.266 --> 00:23:45.901
  • Jesus did not just come to this earth to give amazing teachings,
  • 00:23:45.901 --> 00:23:49.404
  • Though they are the most amazing ever given.
  • 00:23:49.404 --> 00:23:52.274
  • He didn't just come to this planet to work miracles.
  • 00:23:52.274 --> 00:23:55.644
  • He came to this planet with the express purpose of going to the
  • 00:23:55.644 --> 00:23:59.347
  • Cross and dying for the sin of the world, and that is why jesus
  • 00:23:59.347 --> 00:24:03.418
  • Christ and christ alone is qualified to bridge the gap
  • 00:24:03.418 --> 00:24:08.256
  • Between a holy god and sinful humanity.
  • 00:24:08.256 --> 00:24:12.294
  • With one hand, he took hold of that holy god.
  • 00:24:12.294 --> 00:24:14.963
  • With the other hand, he took hold of sinful humanity.
  • 00:24:14.963 --> 00:24:18.066
  • And nails were driven through those hands and through
  • 00:24:18.066 --> 00:24:21.136
  • Those feet, and he died.
  • 00:24:21.136 --> 00:24:22.504
  • The bible says, "christ died for your sins."
  • 00:24:22.504 --> 00:24:26.074
  • Why?
  • 00:24:26.074 --> 00:24:27.442
  • Because he loves you.
  • 00:24:27.442 --> 00:24:28.910
  • "for god so loved the world he gave his only begotten son,
  • 00:24:28.910 --> 00:24:33.448
  • And whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have
  • 00:24:33.448 --> 00:24:36.485
  • Everlasting life."
  • 00:24:36.485 --> 00:24:39.287
  • I love the way the apostle paul personalized it when he said,
  • 00:24:39.287 --> 00:24:42.624
  • "he loved me and he gave himself for me."
  • 00:24:42.624 --> 00:24:46.628
  • Recognize christ died on that cross for your sin, then
  • 00:24:46.628 --> 00:24:49.631
  • You must turn from that sin and repent of the sin.
  • 00:24:49.631 --> 00:24:53.401
  • The bible says god has commanded people everywhere to repent.
  • 00:24:53.401 --> 00:24:57.606
  • So you say, "lord, i don't wanna live that way anymore.
  • 00:24:57.606 --> 00:25:00.308
  • I wanna believe in jesus.
  • 00:25:00.308 --> 00:25:01.743
  • I want a new life.
  • 00:25:01.743 --> 00:25:03.111
  • I want the hope of heaven.
  • 00:25:03.111 --> 00:25:04.446
  • I want my guilt removed."
  • 00:25:04.446 --> 00:25:06.314
  • And then you must receive christ into your life.
  • 00:25:06.314 --> 00:25:09.384
  • Listen, jesus christ, who died on the cross, rose again
  • 00:25:09.384 --> 00:25:13.455
  • From the dead three days later, and he's with us right now
  • 00:25:13.455 --> 00:25:17.192
  • At angel stadium, or wherever you are watching
  • 00:25:17.192 --> 00:25:19.728
  • Or listening, and he's standing at the door
  • 00:25:19.728 --> 00:25:22.230
  • Of your knock--life and he's knocking,
  • 00:25:22.230 --> 00:25:24.332
  • And he is saying if you'll hear his voice and open the door,
  • 00:25:24.332 --> 00:25:27.068
  • He'll come in.
  • 00:25:27.068 --> 00:25:30.038
  • Greg: have you ever heard the term gospel before?
  • 00:25:34.109 --> 00:25:36.344
  • It means good news.
  • 00:25:36.344 --> 00:25:37.679
  • But before i can fully appreciate the good news,
  • 00:25:37.679 --> 00:25:40.315
  • I have to know the bad news.
  • 00:25:40.315 --> 00:25:43.184
  • You and i were sinners, which means we've broken
  • 00:25:43.184 --> 00:25:46.054
  • God's commandments.
  • 00:25:46.054 --> 00:25:47.422
  • We've fallen short of his standards.
  • 00:25:47.422 --> 00:25:48.790
  • Good news: jesus christ died in our place.
  • 00:25:48.790 --> 00:25:52.260
  • He came to pay a debt he did not owe because we owed a debt
  • 00:25:52.260 --> 00:25:55.997
  • We could not pay.
  • 00:25:55.997 --> 00:25:57.332
  • If you will turn from your sin and put your faith in jesus
