You're on this side of heaven.
00:02:10.172 --> 00:02:11.106
You're on this side of heaven. one day, the bible says
00:02:11.173 --> 00:02:13.475
You're on this side of heaven. one day, the bible says in revelations 22, there'll be
00:02:13.542 --> 00:02:15.978
One day, the bible says in revelations 22, there'll be no more night in heaven.
00:02:16.044 --> 00:02:18.347
In revelations 22, there'll be no more night in heaven. i love that phrase.

I love that phrase. there will be no more night, no more tears, no more crying.
00:02:21.149 --> 00:02:23.118
There will be no more night, no more tears, no more crying. but perhaps you're going through
00:02:23.185 --> 00:02:24.152
No more tears, no more crying. but perhaps you're going through a dark season, perhaps you're
00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:25.520
But perhaps you're going through a dark season, perhaps you're going through a depressed time,
00:02:25.587 --> 00:02:29.858
A dark season, perhaps you're going through a depressed time, perhaps you're going through
00:02:29.925 --> 00:02:30.826
Going through a depressed time, perhaps you're going through a time that you've--you don't

Perhaps you're going through a time that you've--you don't understand god even.
00:02:32.728 --> 00:02:35.897
A time that you've--you don't understand god even. amen?
00:02:35.964 --> 00:02:37.599

Amen? you know, the lord knows what you're going through.
00:02:39.001 --> 00:02:40.769
You know, the lord knows what you're going through. more than anybody else,

What you're going through. more than anybody else, he knows exactly what
00:02:42.371 --> 00:02:43.472
More than anybody else, he knows exactly what you're going through.
00:02:43.538 --> 00:02:45.140
He knows exactly what you're going through. and i just want to show you
00:02:45.207 --> 00:02:46.775
You're going through. and i just want to show you that in the bible, the bible
00:02:46.842 --> 00:02:48.310
And i just want to show you that in the bible, the bible talks a lot about night sins,
00:02:48.377 --> 00:02:52.881
That in the bible, the bible talks a lot about night sins, night events, night seasons.
00:02:52.948 --> 00:02:58.654
In psalms 16, the bible tells us
00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:02.157
In psalms 16, the bible tells us david says, "i'll bless the lord
00:03:02.224 --> 00:03:03.892
In psalms 16, the bible tells us david says, "i'll bless the lord who has given me counsel;
00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:05.761
David says, "i'll bless the lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me
00:03:05.827 --> 00:03:08.397
Who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons."
00:03:08.463 --> 00:03:10.666
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons." so david even went
00:03:10.732 --> 00:03:11.566
In the night seasons." so david even went through a night season.
00:03:11.633 --> 00:03:13.168
So david even went through a night season. and during the night season,
00:03:13.235 --> 00:03:14.036
Through a night season. and during the night season, the bible says this.
00:03:14.102 --> 00:03:14.970
And during the night season, the bible says this. y'all know this.
00:03:15.037 --> 00:03:16.004
The bible says this. y'all know this. joy cometh in the morning,
00:03:16.071 --> 00:03:17.105
Y'all know this. joy cometh in the morning, right?
00:03:17.172 --> 00:03:17.973
Joy cometh in the morning, right? but before that,
00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:18.507
Right? but before that, what does it say?
00:03:18.573 --> 00:03:19.274
But before that, what does it say? weeping may endure for a night.
00:03:19.341 --> 00:03:20.976
What does it say? weeping may endure for a night. weeping may endure for a night.
00:03:21.043 --> 00:03:23.679
Weeping may endure for a night. weeping may endure for a night. it lasts only--
00:03:23.745 --> 00:03:24.913
Weeping may endure for a night. it lasts only-- it endures only for a night.
00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:26.815
It lasts only-- it endures only for a night. so in the night season, it's
00:03:26.882 --> 00:03:28.150
It endures only for a night. so in the night season, it's a season of trial, it's a season
00:03:28.216 --> 00:03:29.885
So in the night season, it's a season of trial, it's a season where you are weeping,
00:03:29.951 --> 00:03:31.953
A season of trial, it's a season where you are weeping, where it's not pleasant,
00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:33.722
Where you are weeping, where it's not pleasant, you're wondering
00:03:33.789 --> 00:03:34.222
Where it's not pleasant, you're wondering what's going on,
00:03:34.289 --> 00:03:35.924
You're wondering what's going on, but god says morning is coming.
00:03:35.991 --> 00:03:38.593
Amen.
00:03:39.828 --> 00:03:40.462

The stars are actually out there even during daytime; you can't see it,

Even during daytime; you can't see it, but how we see them

To know that god is--also, the devil is active, but god is even
00:09:42.090 --> 00:09:43.224
The devil is active, but god is even more during that time wanting to

But god is even more during that time wanting to turn the whole thing around
00:09:45.193 --> 00:09:46.161
More during that time wanting to turn the whole thing around into your favor.
00:09:46.227 --> 00:09:49.230
Turn the whole thing around into your favor. the devil may roar

Seeking whom he may devour." i like the word seeking and the word may.
00:15:55.163 --> 00:15:56.164
I like the word seeking and the word may. that means the devil can't just
00:15:56.230 --> 00:15:57.698
And the word may. that means the devil can't just walk out of his house one day,
00:15:57.765 --> 00:15:59.901
That means the devil can't just walk out of his house one day, he doesn't have a house, but,
00:15:59.967 --> 00:16:01.069
Walk out of his house one day, he doesn't have a house, but, you know, i'm just expressing,

Of righteousness of god, now righteousness is to declare you justified.
00:21:26.394 --> 00:21:30.197
Now righteousness is to declare you justified. it is unrighteousness to

Listen. in the courts of justice if an accuser accused
00:21:51.752 --> 00:21:53.220
In the courts of justice if an accuser accused someone falsely,
00:21:53.287 --> 00:21:56.090
The accuser becomes as guilty
00:21:56.157 --> 00:21:57.425
The accuser becomes as guilty as the person he's accusing
00:21:57.491 --> 00:22:00.194
The accuser becomes as guilty as the person he's accusing had the accusation
00:22:00.261 --> 00:22:00.795
As the person he's accusing had the accusation been justified.
00:22:00.861 --> 00:22:02.530
Had the accusation been justified. let me explain.
00:22:02.596 --> 00:22:03.597
Been justified. let me explain. if accuser is aiming to say
00:22:03.664 --> 00:22:06.534
Let me explain. if accuser is aiming to say someone--he's, like,
00:22:06.600 --> 00:22:08.636
Accusing someone of murder,
00:22:08.702 --> 00:22:11.205
Accusing someone of murder, you think it's just murder?
00:22:11.272 --> 00:22:12.173
Accusing someone of murder, you think it's just murder? no.
00:22:12.239 --> 00:22:12.807
You think it's just murder? no. he's saying he deserves death.
00:22:12.873 --> 00:22:14.008
No. he's saying he deserves death. he's aiming for his death.
00:22:14.074 --> 00:22:15.576
He's saying he deserves death. he's aiming for his death. the accuser is aiming
00:22:15.643 --> 00:22:16.610
He's aiming for his death. the accuser is aiming for his death because murder
00:22:16.677 --> 00:22:17.812
The accuser is aiming for his death because murder carries the death penalty.
00:22:17.878 --> 00:22:19.780
For his death because murder carries the death penalty. now, if the whole charge is
00:22:19.847 --> 00:22:22.650
Carries the death penalty. now, if the whole charge is false, now the accuser becomes
00:22:22.716 --> 00:22:26.654
Now, if the whole charge is false, now the accuser becomes guilty of the same crime because
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.156
False, now the accuser becomes guilty of the same crime because he's aiming for his death.
00:22:29.223 --> 00:22:30.224
Guilty of the same crime because he's aiming for his death. now, he's a murderer.
00:22:30.291 --> 00:22:32.793
He's aiming for his death. now, he's a murderer. so the moment you take
00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:33.594
Now, he's a murderer. so the moment you take your position, saying,
00:22:33.661 --> 00:22:34.528
So the moment you take your position, saying, "i'm the righteousness
00:22:34.595 --> 00:22:35.396
Your position, saying, "i'm the righteousness of god in christ,"
00:22:35.463 --> 00:22:36.697
"i'm the righteousness of god in christ," the whole thing
00:22:36.764 --> 00:22:37.298
Of god in christ," the whole thing falls back on the devil.
