He's starving to death there. but the king heard the story
00:03:20.648 --> 00:03:22.883
But the king heard the story and the king said,
00:03:22.950 --> 00:03:26.654
And the king said, "i want him out.

To my treasury." now, this is the part
00:03:34.295 --> 00:03:35.129
Now, this is the part of the story that i don't
00:03:35.195 --> 00:03:36.330

00:03:36.397 --> 00:03:39.099
Understand unless you see it through spiritual eyes.

This is a beautiful picture. he said, "go to my treasury."
00:03:47.408 --> 00:03:48.709
He said, "go to my treasury." and the question that has
00:03:48.776 --> 00:03:51.078
And the question that has to be answered is,
00:03:51.145 --> 00:03:51.845
To be answered is, "what are dirty rags doing
00:03:51.912 --> 00:03:55.282
"what are dirty rags doing in the king's treasure --
00:03:55.349 --> 00:03:57.117
In the king's treasure -- treasury in his palace?"
00:03:57.184 --> 00:03:59.720
Treasury in his palace?" in his palace,
00:03:59.787 --> 00:04:00.487

00:04:03.457 --> 00:04:04.825
He would have had his silver, he would have had it
00:04:04.892 --> 00:04:05.726
He would have had it guarded and vaulted.
00:04:05.793 --> 00:04:06.994
Guarded and vaulted. he would have had rubies,
00:04:07.061 --> 00:04:08.896
He would have had rubies, and diamonds, and worth
00:04:08.962 --> 00:04:11.532
And diamonds, and worth beyond measure.
00:04:11.598 --> 00:04:12.433
Beyond measure. but in the king's dungeon,
00:04:12.499 --> 00:04:15.669
But in the king's dungeon, he had a place for dirty rags.
00:04:15.736 --> 00:04:21.008
He had a place for dirty rags. he had a pile of rotten rags
00:04:21.075 --> 00:04:26.313
He had a pile of rotten rags that had been stained,
00:04:26.380 --> 00:04:28.415
That had been stained, that had been marred,
00:04:28.482 --> 00:04:30.718
That had been marred, that had been forever
00:04:30.784 --> 00:04:37.057
That had been forever they would be stained with
00:04:37.124 --> 00:04:39.960
They would be stained with where they came from.
00:04:40.027 --> 00:04:41.595
Where they came from. and yet, the king said,
00:04:41.662 --> 00:04:45.699
And yet, the king said, "i turn rags into royalty.
00:04:45.766 --> 00:04:49.002
"i turn rags into royalty. i am a king who has a place
00:04:49.069 --> 00:04:53.374
I am a king who has a place for dirty rags."
00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:55.376
For dirty rags." and before you
00:04:55.442 --> 00:04:56.110

Of some people. you need to think
00:05:01.648 --> 00:05:02.216
You need to think of yourself because isaiah 64
00:05:02.282 --> 00:05:06.420
Of yourself because isaiah 64 said this, that,
00:05:06.487 --> 00:05:08.789
Said this, that, "we are all as
00:05:08.856 --> 00:05:10.090
"we are all as an unclean thing and all
00:05:10.157 --> 00:05:13.394
An unclean thing and all of our righteousness,
00:05:13.460 --> 00:05:15.295
Of our righteousness, all of our religiosity,
00:05:15.362 --> 00:05:17.598
All of our religiosity, all of our efforts that we get
00:05:17.664 --> 00:05:21.201
All of our efforts that we get to a place where we think,
00:05:21.268 --> 00:05:22.569
To a place where we think, 'i don't do this and i
00:05:22.636 --> 00:05:23.437
'i don't do this and i don't do that.'
00:05:23.504 --> 00:05:24.505
Don't do that.' therefore for i am just --
00:05:24.571 --> 00:05:27.941
Therefore for i am just -- all of your righteousness
00:05:28.008 --> 00:05:29.476
All of your righteousness is as filthy rags."
00:05:29.543 --> 00:05:35.015
Is as filthy rags." everybody else,
00:05:35.082 --> 00:05:36.517
Everybody else, the world would say,
00:05:36.583 --> 00:05:38.852
The world would say, "throw it away."
00:05:38.919 --> 00:05:40.254
"throw it away." but the king said,
00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:41.321
But the king said, "i have a place in
00:05:41.388 --> 00:05:42.689
"i have a place in my treasure for dirty rags.
00:05:42.756 --> 00:05:47.327
My treasure for dirty rags. for rotten rags, torn, tattered,
00:05:47.394 --> 00:05:50.531
For rotten rags, torn, tattered, marred, messed up.
00:05:50.597 --> 00:05:53.901
Marred, messed up. i'll redeem 'em.
00:05:53.967 --> 00:05:55.736
I'll redeem 'em. i turn rags into royalty.
00:05:55.803 --> 00:05:58.739
I turn rags into royalty. and yes, the stain of pain," --
00:05:58.806 --> 00:06:01.708
And yes, the stain of pain," -- and what i'm preaching on is,
00:06:01.775 --> 00:06:04.011
And what i'm preaching on is, "don't let your pain
00:06:04.077 --> 00:06:05.312
"don't let your pain be in vain."
00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:06.814
Be in vain." because god can use --
00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:08.615
Because god can use -- the rag represents
00:06:08.682 --> 00:06:09.783
The rag represents your testimony.
00:06:09.850 --> 00:06:11.051
Your testimony. the dirty rag represents
00:06:11.118 --> 00:06:12.753
The dirty rag represents the dungeon you were in.
00:06:12.820 --> 00:06:14.922
The dungeon you were in. and here's the key,
00:06:14.988 --> 00:06:16.223
And here's the key, if you throw a block of gold
00:06:16.290 --> 00:06:18.759
If you throw a block of gold from the king's treasury
00:06:18.826 --> 00:06:20.127
From the king's treasury down into the muck, it'll sink.
00:06:20.194 --> 00:06:22.996
Down into the muck, it'll sink. throw some silver, it'll sink.
00:06:23.063 --> 00:06:25.466
Throw some silver, it'll sink. it can't rescue them.
00:06:25.532 --> 00:06:26.500
It can't rescue them. the only thing that could reach
00:06:26.567 --> 00:06:28.101
The only thing that could reach somebody in the dungeon that
00:06:28.168 --> 00:06:29.937
Somebody in the dungeon that they're in is something that is
00:06:30.003 --> 00:06:31.939
They're in is something that is not afraid of that dungeon
00:06:32.005 --> 00:06:33.407
Not afraid of that dungeon because it used to be in it,
00:06:33.474 --> 00:06:35.142
Because it used to be in it, but the king pulled them out
00:06:35.209 --> 00:06:37.144
But the king pulled them out and put them in his treasury.
00:06:37.211 --> 00:06:39.446
[applause]
00:06:39.746 --> 00:06:42.015
If you're thankful
00:06:42.583 --> 00:06:43.250
If you're thankful he found you in your pit
00:06:43.317 --> 00:06:45.152
He found you in your pit and in your dungeon,
00:06:45.219 --> 00:06:46.253
And in your dungeon, give him a praise right now.

Many people let their past stains stop them from walking
00:09:10.697 --> 00:09:12.899
Stains stop them from walking through doors of opportunity
00:09:12.966 --> 00:09:15.068

And i'm one to preach that 'cause that is my battle.
00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:24.511
'cause that is my battle. but i've been in the pit
00:09:24.578 --> 00:09:25.379
But i've been in the pit of depression.
00:09:25.445 --> 00:09:26.647

Kinds of those pits. and the devil thought
00:09:34.054 --> 00:09:35.288
And the devil thought that i would give up,
00:09:35.355 --> 00:09:36.390
That i would give up, but the thing about this story
00:09:36.456 --> 00:09:38.325
But the thing about this story that is beautiful is
00:09:38.392 --> 00:09:40.961
That is beautiful is when you get in that pit,
00:09:41.028 --> 00:09:42.496
When you get in that pit, if somebody, if somebody --
00:09:42.562 --> 00:09:45.332

The bible said we're all members of the body of christ,
00:10:33.814 --> 00:10:35.515
Of the body of christ, but this one can't say,
00:10:35.582 --> 00:10:37.751
But this one can't say, "i don't need you."
00:10:37.818 --> 00:10:38.652
"i don't need you." and that one can't say,
00:10:38.719 --> 00:10:39.886
