- "what are dirty rags doing in the king's treasure --
- 00:04:31.249 --> 00:04:33.018

- 00:04:47.499 --> 00:04:48.333
- Beyond measure. but in the king's dungeon,
- 00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:51.570
- But in the king's dungeon, he had a place for dirty rags.
- 00:04:51.636 --> 00:04:56.908
- He had a place for dirty rags. he had a pile of rotten rags
- 00:04:56.975 --> 00:05:02.214
- He had a pile of rotten rags that had been stained,
- 00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:04.316

- 00:05:13.024 --> 00:05:15.861
- They would be stained with where they came from.
- 00:05:15.927 --> 00:05:17.496
- Where they came from. and yet, the king said,
- 00:05:17.562 --> 00:05:21.600
- And yet, the king said, "i turn rags into royalty.
- 00:05:21.666 --> 00:05:24.903
- "i turn rags into royalty. i am a king who has a place
- 00:05:24.970 --> 00:05:29.274

- Of some people. you need to think
- 00:05:37.549 --> 00:05:38.116
- You need to think of yourself because isaiah 64
- 00:05:38.183 --> 00:05:42.320
- Of yourself because isaiah 64 said this, that,
- 00:05:42.387 --> 00:05:44.689
- Said this, that, "we are all as
- 00:05:44.756 --> 00:05:45.991
- "we are all as an unclean thing and all
- 00:05:46.057 --> 00:05:49.294
- An unclean thing and all of our righteousness,
- 00:05:49.361 --> 00:05:51.196
- Of our righteousness, all of our religiosity,
- 00:05:51.263 --> 00:05:53.498
- All of our religiosity, all of our efforts that we get
- 00:05:53.565 --> 00:05:57.102
- All of our efforts that we get to a place where we think,
- 00:05:57.169 --> 00:05:58.470
- To a place where we think, 'i don't do this and i
- 00:05:58.537 --> 00:05:59.337
- 'i don't do this and i don't do that.'
- 00:05:59.404 --> 00:06:00.405
- Don't do that.' therefore for i am just --
- 00:06:00.472 --> 00:06:03.842
- Therefore for i am just -- all of your righteousness
- 00:06:03.909 --> 00:06:05.377
- All of your righteousness is as filthy rags."
- 00:06:05.444 --> 00:06:10.916
- Is as filthy rags." everybody else,
- 00:06:10.982 --> 00:06:12.417
- Everybody else, the world would say,
- 00:06:12.484 --> 00:06:14.753
- The world would say, "throw it away."
- 00:06:14.820 --> 00:06:16.154
- "throw it away." but the king said,
- 00:06:16.221 --> 00:06:17.222
- But the king said, "i have a place in
- 00:06:17.289 --> 00:06:18.590
- "i have a place in my treasure for dirty rags.
- 00:06:18.657 --> 00:06:23.228
- My treasure for dirty rags. for rotten rags, torn, tattered,
- 00:06:23.295 --> 00:06:26.431
- For rotten rags, torn, tattered, marred, messed up.
- 00:06:26.498 --> 00:06:29.801
- Marred, messed up. i'll redeem 'em.
- 00:06:29.868 --> 00:06:31.636
- I'll redeem 'em. i turn rags into royalty.
- 00:06:31.703 --> 00:06:34.639
- I turn rags into royalty. and yes, the stain of pain," --
- 00:06:34.706 --> 00:06:37.609
- And yes, the stain of pain," -- and what i'm preaching on is,
- 00:06:37.676 --> 00:06:39.911
- And what i'm preaching on is, "don't let your pain
- 00:06:39.978 --> 00:06:41.213
- "don't let your pain be in vain."
- 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:42.714
- Be in vain." because god can use --
- 00:06:42.781 --> 00:06:44.516
- Because god can use -- the rag represents
- 00:06:44.583 --> 00:06:45.684
- The rag represents your testimony.
- 00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:46.952
- Your testimony. the dirty rag represents
- 00:06:47.018 --> 00:06:48.653
- The dirty rag represents the dungeon you were in.
- 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.822
- The dungeon you were in. and here's the key,
- 00:06:50.889 --> 00:06:52.123
- And here's the key, if you throw a block of gold
- 00:06:52.190 --> 00:06:54.659
- If you throw a block of gold from the king's treasury
- 00:06:54.726 --> 00:06:56.027
- From the king's treasury down into the muck, it'll sink.
- 00:06:56.094 --> 00:06:58.897
- Down into the muck, it'll sink. throw some silver, it'll sink.
- 00:06:58.964 --> 00:07:01.366
- Throw some silver, it'll sink. it can't rescue them.
- 00:07:01.433 --> 00:07:02.400
- It can't rescue them. the only thing that could reach
- 00:07:02.467 --> 00:07:04.002
- The only thing that could reach somebody in the dungeon that
- 00:07:04.069 --> 00:07:05.837
- Somebody in the dungeon that they're in is something that is
- 00:07:05.904 --> 00:07:07.839
- They're in is something that is not afraid of that dungeon
