You're on this side of heaven. one day, the bible says in revelations 22, there'll be
00:02:13.543 --> 00:02:15.979
One day, the bible says in revelations 22, there'll be no more night in heaven.
00:02:16.045 --> 00:02:18.348
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.
00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:23.119
There will be no more night, no more tears, no more crying. but perhaps you're going through
00:02:23.186 --> 00:02:24.153
No more tears, no more crying. but perhaps you're going through a dark season, perhaps you're
00:02:24.220 --> 00:02:25.521
But perhaps you're going through a dark season, perhaps you're going through a depressed time,
00:02:25.588 --> 00:02:29.859
A dark season, perhaps you're going through a depressed time, perhaps you're going through
00:02:29.926 --> 00:02:30.827
Going through a depressed time, perhaps you're going through a time that you've--you don't
00:02:30.893 --> 00:02:32.662
Perhaps you're going through a time that you've--you don't understand god even.
00:02:32.729 --> 00:02:35.898
A time that you've--you don't understand god even. amen?
00:02:35.965 --> 00:02:37.600

00:02:37.667 --> 00:02:38.935
Amen? you know, the lord knows what you're going through.
00:02:39.002 --> 00:02:40.770
You know, the lord knows what you're going through. more than anybody else,
00:02:40.837 --> 00:02:42.305
What you're going through. more than anybody else, he knows exactly what
00:02:42.372 --> 00:02:43.473
More than anybody else, he knows exactly what you're going through.
00:02:43.539 --> 00:02:45.141
He knows exactly what you're going through. and i just want to show you
00:02:45.208 --> 00:02:46.776
You're going through. and i just want to show you that in the bible, the bible
00:02:46.843 --> 00:02:48.311
And i just want to show you that in the bible, the bible talks a lot about night sins,
00:02:48.378 --> 00:02:52.882
That in the bible, the bible talks a lot about night sins, night events, night seasons.
00:02:52.949 --> 00:02:58.655
In psalms 16, the bible tells us
00:02:58.721 --> 00:03:02.158
In psalms 16, the bible tells us david says, "i'll bless the lord
00:03:02.225 --> 00:03:03.893
In psalms 16, the bible tells us david says, "i'll bless the lord who has given me counsel;
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.762
David says, "i'll bless the lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me
00:03:05.828 --> 00:03:08.398
Who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons."
00:03:08.464 --> 00:03:10.667
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons." so david even went
00:03:10.733 --> 00:03:11.567
In the night seasons." so david even went through a night season.
00:03:11.634 --> 00:03:13.169
So david even went through a night season. and during the night season,
00:03:13.236 --> 00:03:14.037
Through a night season. and during the night season, the bible says this.
00:03:14.103 --> 00:03:14.971
And during the night season, the bible says this. y'all know this.
00:03:15.038 --> 00:03:16.005
The bible says this. y'all know this. joy cometh in the morning,
00:03:16.072 --> 00:03:17.106
Y'all know this. joy cometh in the morning, right?
00:03:17.173 --> 00:03:17.974
Joy cometh in the morning, right? but before that,
00:03:18.041 --> 00:03:18.508
Right? but before that, what does it say?
00:03:18.574 --> 00:03:19.275
But before that, what does it say? weeping may endure for a night.
00:03:19.342 --> 00:03:20.977
What does it say? weeping may endure for a night. weeping may endure for a night.
00:03:21.044 --> 00:03:23.680
Weeping may endure for a night. weeping may endure for a night. it lasts only--
00:03:23.746 --> 00:03:24.914
Weeping may endure for a night. it lasts only-- it endures only for a night.
00:03:24.981 --> 00:03:26.816
It lasts only-- it endures only for a night. so in the night season, it's
00:03:26.883 --> 00:03:28.151
It endures only for a night. so in the night season, it's a season of trial, it's a season
00:03:28.217 --> 00:03:29.886
So in the night season, it's a season of trial, it's a season where you are weeping,
00:03:29.952 --> 00:03:31.954
A season of trial, it's a season where you are weeping, where it's not pleasant,
00:03:32.021 --> 00:03:33.723
Where you are weeping, where it's not pleasant, you're wondering
00:03:33.790 --> 00:03:34.223
Where it's not pleasant, you're wondering what's going on,
00:03:34.290 --> 00:03:35.925
You're wondering what's going on, but god says morning is coming.
00:03:35.992 --> 00:03:38.594
Amen.
00:03:39.829 --> 00:03:40.463

It's nighttime. the stars are actually out there even during daytime;

The stars are actually out there even during daytime; you can't see it,
00:09:26.876 --> 00:09:27.677
Even during daytime; you can't see it, but how we see them

So in the night seasons, we got to know that god is--also, the devil is active,
00:09:40.923 --> 00:09:42.024
To know that god is--also, the devil is active, but god is even
00:09:42.091 --> 00:09:43.225
The devil is active, but god is even more during that time wanting to
00:09:43.292 --> 00:09:45.127
But god is even more during that time wanting to turn the whole thing around
00:09:45.194 --> 00:09:46.162
More during that time wanting to turn the whole thing around into your favor.
00:09:46.228 --> 00:09:49.231
Turn the whole thing around into your favor. the devil may roar
00:09:49.298 --> 00:09:51.033
Into your favor. the devil may roar in the night season,
00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:51.767
The devil may roar in the night season, and he roars really loud.

00:10:05.581 --> 00:10:07.183
The daytime is okay. i mean, you hear the roar, but it's like a cat's meow,
00:10:07.249 --> 00:10:08.918

Seeking whom he may devour." i like the word seeking and the word may.
00:15:55.164 --> 00:15:56.165
I like the word seeking and the word may. that means the devil can't just
00:15:56.231 --> 00:15:57.699
And the word may. that means the devil can't just walk out of his house one day,
00:15:57.766 --> 00:15:59.902
That means the devil can't just walk out of his house one day, he doesn't have a house, but,
00:15:59.968 --> 00:16:01.070
Walk out of his house one day, he doesn't have a house, but, you know, i'm just expressing,

The devil likes to isolate people. and that's why

To isolate people. and that's why the gadarene demoniac,
00:17:06.468 --> 00:17:07.703
And that's why the gadarene demoniac, he was all by himself,
00:17:07.769 --> 00:17:08.837

Of righteousness of god, now righteousness is to declare you justified.
00:21:26.395 --> 00:21:30.198
Now righteousness is to declare you justified. it is unrighteousness to

In the courts of justice if an accuser accused someone falsely,
00:21:53.288 --> 00:21:56.091
The accuser becomes as guilty

The accuser becomes as guilty as the person he's accusing
00:21:57.492 --> 00:22:00.195
The accuser becomes as guilty as the person he's accusing had the accusation
00:22:00.262 --> 00:22:00.796
As the person he's accusing had the accusation been justified.
00:22:00.862 --> 00:22:02.531
Had the accusation been justified. let me explain.
00:22:02.597 --> 00:22:03.598

He's saying he deserves death. he's aiming for his death. the accuser is aiming
00:22:15.644 --> 00:22:16.611
He's aiming for his death. the accuser is aiming for his death because murder
00:22:16.678 --> 00:22:17.813
The accuser is aiming for his death because murder carries the death penalty.
00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:19.781
For his death because murder carries the death penalty. now, if the whole charge is
00:22:19.848 --> 00:22:22.651
Carries the death penalty. now, if the whole charge is false, now the accuser becomes
00:22:22.717 --> 00:22:26.655
Now, if the whole charge is false, now the accuser becomes guilty of the same crime because
00:22:26.721 --> 00:22:29.157
False, now the accuser becomes guilty of the same crime because he's aiming for his death.
00:22:29.224 --> 00:22:30.225
Guilty of the same crime because he's aiming for his death. now, he's a murderer.
