Saw his mother, the disciple whom

The disciple whom he loved standing by,

He loved standing by, he said to his mother,

He said to his mother, 'woman, behold your son.'

"god's tiny details in our life."

In our life." sometimes we really are good at
00:01:59.059 --> 00:02:01.662
Sometimes we really are good at praising him for the big
00:02:01.728 --> 00:02:02.629
Praising him for the big things that he does.
00:02:02.696 --> 00:02:05.199
Things that he does. i've had god do big things
00:02:05.265 --> 00:02:06.433
I've had god do big things in my life.
00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:08.135
In my life. i've had days that were --
00:02:08.202 --> 00:02:11.271
I've had days that were -- days that were
00:02:11.338 --> 00:02:12.806
Days that were huge breakthroughs
00:02:12.873 --> 00:02:14.208
Huge breakthroughs and answers to prayer,
00:02:14.274 --> 00:02:16.543
And answers to prayer, things that just blew my mind,
00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:19.112
Things that just blew my mind, the big things.
00:02:19.179 --> 00:02:20.080
The big things. especially the day
00:02:20.147 --> 00:02:21.448
Especially the day that he saved me.
00:02:21.515 --> 00:02:23.317
That he saved me. i mean, i got born again
00:02:23.383 --> 00:02:25.786
I mean, i got born again in rocky mount,
00:02:25.852 --> 00:02:26.620
In rocky mount, north carolina,
00:02:26.687 --> 00:02:27.821
North carolina, that was a night,
00:02:27.888 --> 00:02:29.223
That was a night, was actually in the evening,
00:02:29.289 --> 00:02:30.524
Was actually in the evening, that i will never forget.
00:02:30.591 --> 00:02:33.227
That i will never forget. it was amazing.
00:02:33.293 --> 00:02:35.028
It was amazing. but i also thank god,
00:02:35.095 --> 00:02:36.597
But i also thank god, and i think we ought
00:02:36.663 --> 00:02:37.397
And i think we ought to be mindful
00:02:37.464 --> 00:02:39.233
To be mindful of the tiny things, the details.
00:02:39.299 --> 00:02:41.902
Of the tiny things, the details. someone said the devil's
00:02:41.969 --> 00:02:43.437
Someone said the devil's in the details,
00:02:43.503 --> 00:02:44.438
In the details, but really he's not.
00:02:44.504 --> 00:02:46.573
But really he's not. he's not in the details,
00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:47.908
He's not in the details, he sees you as a number.
00:02:47.975 --> 00:02:49.343
He sees you as a number. when the antichrist comes
00:02:49.409 --> 00:02:50.310
When the antichrist comes on the scene,
00:02:50.377 --> 00:02:51.144
On the scene, he's gon' give you a number,
00:02:51.211 --> 00:02:52.246
He's gon' give you a number, that's all he car --
00:02:52.312 --> 00:02:52.913
That's all he car -- you're just a number to him.
00:02:52.980 --> 00:02:54.615
You're just a number to him. but god is in the details
00:02:54.681 --> 00:02:56.650
But god is in the details of our life.
00:02:56.717 --> 00:02:57.484
Of our life. [applause]
00:02:57.551 --> 00:02:59.019
[applause] i've seen him do big things,
00:02:59.086 --> 00:03:00.587
I've seen him do big things, but sometimes it's
00:03:00.654 --> 00:03:01.822
But sometimes it's the little things,
00:03:01.888 --> 00:03:04.324
The little things, the detailed things,
00:03:04.391 --> 00:03:05.926
The detailed things, the catered just for me things,
00:03:05.993 --> 00:03:10.631
The catered just for me things, that blow my mind.
00:03:10.697 --> 00:03:13.667
That blow my mind. when i think of calvary,
00:03:13.734 --> 00:03:15.002
When i think of calvary, it was god reaching for us,
00:03:15.068 --> 00:03:17.104
It was god reaching for us, and it was such a big thing.
00:03:17.170 --> 00:03:20.841
And it was such a big thing. this man jesus christ,
00:03:20.907 --> 00:03:22.643
This man jesus christ, the expressed image of god.
00:03:22.709 --> 00:03:25.379
The expressed image of god. this man, jesus christ,
00:03:25.445 --> 00:03:27.047
This man, jesus christ, who was 100% human,
00:03:27.114 --> 00:03:30.017
Who was 100% human, except he never
00:03:30.083 --> 00:03:31.084
Except he never committed a sin.
00:03:31.151 --> 00:03:33.587
Committed a sin. he could have,
00:03:33.654 --> 00:03:34.621
He could have, he had the body to commit a sin,
00:03:34.688 --> 00:03:36.890
He had the body to commit a sin, but he stayed fully submitted
00:03:36.957 --> 00:03:39.393
But he stayed fully submitted to the father,
00:03:39.459 --> 00:03:41.528
To the father, and he was sinless.
00:03:41.595 --> 00:03:43.930
And he was sinless. he was capable of sin,
00:03:43.997 --> 00:03:45.465
He was capable of sin, but he didn't do it.
00:03:45.532 --> 00:03:47.968
But he didn't do it. and he continually moved
00:03:48.035 --> 00:03:50.370
And he continually moved in submission to the father.
00:03:50.437 --> 00:03:54.975
In submission to the father. and the writer,
00:03:55.042 --> 00:03:56.376
And the writer, paul said that,
00:03:56.443 --> 00:03:58.345
Paul said that, "in him dwelleth all
00:03:58.412 --> 00:04:00.480
"in him dwelleth all of the fullness of god bodily."
00:04:00.547 --> 00:04:04.751
Of the fullness of god bodily." i love that verse that in jesus,
00:04:04.818 --> 00:04:07.254
I love that verse that in jesus, all of the fullness
00:04:07.321 --> 00:04:08.922
All of the fullness that god is was somehow
00:04:08.989 --> 00:04:13.293
That god is was somehow compounded and put
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.228
Compounded and put in that flesh man,
00:04:15.295 --> 00:04:17.631
In that flesh man, one human being
00:04:17.698 --> 00:04:19.266
One human being named jesus.
00:04:19.333 --> 00:04:20.834
Named jesus. all of the god head bodily
00:04:20.901 --> 00:04:23.537
All of the god head bodily was manifest in him
00:04:23.603 --> 00:04:26.373
Was manifest in him and through him.
00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:30.077
And through him. they took him to the cross,
00:04:30.143 --> 00:04:31.645
They took him to the cross, the brutality of human hatred
00:04:31.712 --> 00:04:40.987
The brutality of human hatred compiled with the brutality
00:04:41.054 --> 00:04:43.357
Compiled with the brutality of demonic hatred.
00:04:43.423 --> 00:04:45.792
Of demonic hatred. i believe there were hordes
00:04:45.859 --> 00:04:47.794
I believe there were hordes of demons that were swirling
00:04:47.861 --> 00:04:49.563
Of demons that were swirling around mount calvary.
00:04:49.629 --> 00:04:51.264
Around mount calvary. i believe they were whispering
00:04:51.331 --> 00:04:53.066
I believe they were whispering into people's ears,
00:04:53.133 --> 00:04:54.434
Into people's ears, into the soldiers,
00:04:54.501 --> 00:04:55.635
Into the soldiers, and into the bystanders.
00:04:55.702 --> 00:04:57.571
And into the bystanders. whispering, "slap him, hit him."
00:04:57.637 --> 00:05:00.173
Whispering, "slap him, hit him." they ripped his beard,
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.541
They ripped his beard, they beat his back.
00:05:01.608 --> 00:05:02.809
They beat his back. i could almost see in my mind
00:05:02.876 --> 00:05:05.312
I could almost see in my mind demons whispering,
00:05:05.379 --> 00:05:06.480
Demons whispering, "hit him harder,
00:05:06.546 --> 00:05:07.514
"hit him harder, spit on him, slap him,
00:05:07.581 --> 00:05:10.317
Spit on him, slap him, drive the nails in his hands,
00:05:10.384 --> 00:05:11.952
Drive the nails in his hands, stab him with the spear,
00:05:12.018 --> 00:05:13.420
Stab him with the spear, drive it deeper and harder,
00:05:13.487 --> 00:05:15.389
Drive it deeper and harder, hurt him!"
00:05:15.455 --> 00:05:20.394
Hurt him!" and then we come to the verse --
00:05:20.460 --> 00:05:24.831
And then we come to the verse -- chapter 19:25,
00:05:24.898 --> 00:05:28.235
Chapter 19:25, "and there standing by
00:05:28.301 --> 00:05:29.936
"and there standing by the cross was his mother."
00:05:30.003 --> 00:05:35.342
The cross was his mother." and i don't know what
00:05:35.409 --> 00:05:36.042
And i don't know what she was thinking,
00:05:36.109 --> 00:05:37.377
She was thinking, let's put ourselves in
00:05:37.444 --> 00:05:38.278
Let's put ourselves in her shoes for just a moment.
00:05:38.345 --> 00:05:39.946
Her shoes for just a moment. you're just gonna have
00:05:40.013 --> 00:05:40.614
You're just gonna have to stay with me,
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.015
To stay with me, i'm going somewhere,
00:05:42.082 --> 00:05:42.849
I'm going somewhere, we're gonna get there,
00:05:42.916 --> 00:05:44.451
We're gonna get there, but let me tell you
00:05:44.518 --> 00:05:45.185
But let me tell you what's on my heart.
00:05:45.252 --> 00:05:46.586
What's on my heart. i saw it like this this week.
00:05:46.653 --> 00:05:48.955
I saw it like this this week. i saw mary standing there
00:05:49.022 --> 00:05:50.590
I saw mary standing there looking up at the cross.
00:05:50.657 --> 00:05:53.193
Looking up at the cross. her son, i wonder
00:05:53.260 --> 00:05:54.728
Her son, i wonder where her mind went.
00:05:54.795 --> 00:05:57.597
Where her mind went. i wonder if her mind went
00:05:57.664 --> 00:05:59.499
I wonder if her mind went to the first day
00:05:59.566 --> 00:06:00.801
To the first day that he was born
00:06:00.867 --> 00:06:03.937
That he was born and how that on the eighth day,
00:06:04.004 --> 00:06:05.972
And how that on the eighth day, she and his stepfather,
00:06:06.039 --> 00:06:07.607
She and his stepfather, joseph, took him to the temple
00:06:07.674 --> 00:06:11.478
Joseph, took him to the temple to be circumcised
00:06:11.545 --> 00:06:12.679
To be circumcised as the law demanded.
00:06:12.746 --> 00:06:15.549
As the law demanded. and there was an old prophet
00:06:15.615 --> 00:06:16.883
And there was an old prophet in the temple, the bible said,
00:06:16.950 --> 00:06:18.485
In the temple, the bible said, that had been given
00:06:18.552 --> 00:06:19.386
That had been given a word from god, that,
00:06:19.453 --> 00:06:20.587
A word from god, that, "you will not see death
00:06:20.654 --> 00:06:22.289
"you will not see death until your eyes behold
00:06:22.355 --> 00:06:23.790
Until your eyes behold the messiah of israel."
00:06:23.857 --> 00:06:26.993
The messiah of israel." and think of it,
00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:28.428
And think of it, when joseph and mary walked
00:06:28.495 --> 00:06:30.630
When joseph and mary walked across the threshold
00:06:30.697 --> 00:06:31.932
Across the threshold of that temple and walked
00:06:31.998 --> 00:06:33.099
Of that temple and walked into that building,
00:06:33.166 --> 00:06:34.534
Into that building, you have to understand,
00:06:34.601 --> 00:06:36.303
You have to understand, the glory of god had
00:06:36.369 --> 00:06:38.004
The glory of god had left the temple.
00:06:38.071 --> 00:06:39.473
Left the temple. when they stole --
00:06:39.539 --> 00:06:40.307
When they stole -- the philistines stole
00:06:40.373 --> 00:06:41.842
The philistines stole the ark of the covenant
00:06:41.908 --> 00:06:43.043
The ark of the covenant and it was never returned,
00:06:43.109 --> 00:06:44.544
And it was never returned, and for over 600 years,
00:06:44.611 --> 00:06:46.813
And for over 600 years, there was no glory seen
00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:49.983
There was no glory seen in the temple,
00:06:50.050 --> 00:06:51.184
In the temple, but when they brought
00:06:51.251 --> 00:06:52.352
But when they brought that little baby across
00:06:52.419 --> 00:06:53.753
That little baby across the threshold,
00:06:53.820 --> 00:06:54.988
The threshold, the glory came
00:06:55.055 --> 00:06:56.056
The glory came back to the temple.
00:06:56.122 --> 00:06:58.959
Back to the temple. and i don't know where he was,
00:06:59.025 --> 00:07:00.527
And i don't know where he was, i don't know what he was doing,
00:07:00.594 --> 00:07:02.229
I don't know what he was doing, but somewhere in that st --
00:07:02.295 --> 00:07:04.030
But somewhere in that st -- in this story,
00:07:04.097 --> 00:07:05.265
In this story, simeon turns,
00:07:05.332 --> 00:07:07.067
Simeon turns, he feels the glory
00:07:07.133 --> 00:07:08.502
He feels the glory of the presence
00:07:08.568 --> 00:07:09.269
Of the presence of god is in this place.
00:07:09.336 --> 00:07:11.204
Of god is in this place. what is going on?
00:07:11.271 --> 00:07:12.606
What is going on? it's tingling with his presence,
00:07:12.672 --> 00:07:14.441
It's tingling with his presence, and he walks over,
00:07:14.508 --> 00:07:15.842
And he walks over, and he sees this young
00:07:15.909 --> 00:07:17.110
And he sees this young couple standing there,
00:07:17.177 --> 00:07:18.678
Couple standing there, and the baby's wrapped up,
00:07:18.745 --> 00:07:19.980
And the baby's wrapped up, and he takes the cloth,
00:07:20.046 --> 00:07:21.581
And he takes the cloth, and looks at the face
00:07:21.648 --> 00:07:22.549
And looks at the face of the baby,
00:07:22.616 --> 00:07:24.017
Of the baby, and suddenly,
00:07:24.084 --> 00:07:25.218
And suddenly, he knows that he knows
00:07:25.285 --> 00:07:26.086
He knows that he knows that he knows,
00:07:26.152 --> 00:07:27.721
That he knows, "my eyes have seen the messiah."
00:07:27.787 --> 00:07:32.726
"my eyes have seen the messiah." and he says,
00:07:32.792 --> 00:07:33.426
And he says, "now, i can die in peace,
00:07:33.493 --> 00:07:35.695
"now, i can die in peace, the messiah has come to israel."
00:07:35.762 --> 00:07:39.933
The messiah has come to israel." and then he starts to leave,
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.668
And then he starts to leave, but he points his finger,
00:07:41.735 --> 00:07:43.069
But he points his finger, and he says,
00:07:43.136 --> 00:07:43.904
And he says, "and a sword,"
00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:45.038
"and a sword," to mary,
00:07:45.105 --> 00:07:46.273
To mary, the mother of jesus,
00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:47.440
The mother of jesus, "and a sword shall
00:07:47.507 --> 00:07:49.876
"and a sword shall pierce your soul."
00:07:49.943 --> 00:07:53.547
Pierce your soul." i wonder as she was standing
00:07:53.613 --> 00:07:55.048
I wonder as she was standing there at the cross,
00:07:55.115 --> 00:07:56.583
There at the cross, at that moment,
00:07:56.650 --> 00:07:57.651
At that moment, could it have been that one
00:07:57.717 --> 00:07:59.286
Could it have been that one of the soldiers stabbed him
00:07:59.352 --> 00:08:00.887
Of the soldiers stabbed him in the side and pierced him,
00:08:00.954 --> 00:08:03.456
In the side and pierced him, and the blood and the water
00:08:03.523 --> 00:08:04.691
And the blood and the water poured forth and i wonder
00:08:04.758 --> 00:08:06.026
Poured forth and i wonder if in that moment,
00:08:06.092 --> 00:08:09.095
If in that moment, she thought,
00:08:09.162 --> 00:08:10.830
She thought, "is that what he was talking
00:08:10.897 --> 00:08:13.033
"is that what he was talking about 33 years ago?
00:08:13.099 --> 00:08:16.436
About 33 years ago? that a sword would
00:08:16.503 --> 00:08:17.437
That a sword would pierce my soul?
00:08:17.504 --> 00:08:18.772
Pierce my soul? it feels like it."
00:08:18.838 --> 00:08:21.308
It feels like it." but when he was on that cross,
00:08:21.374 --> 00:08:23.076
But when he was on that cross, this is the part that
00:08:23.143 --> 00:08:24.110
This is the part that i'm trying to get to,
00:08:24.177 --> 00:08:28.048
I'm trying to get to, as he's running out of air,
00:08:28.114 --> 00:08:32.319
As he's running out of air, as he is becoming weaker
00:08:32.385 --> 00:08:33.920
As he is becoming weaker and weaker from the loss
00:08:33.987 --> 00:08:35.088
And weaker from the loss of blood,
00:08:35.155 --> 00:08:36.823
Of blood, and his body is sagging
00:08:36.890 --> 00:08:38.391
And his body is sagging on that cross,
00:08:38.458 --> 00:08:39.359
On that cross, and he knows this
00:08:39.426 --> 00:08:40.260
And he knows this is close to the end,
00:08:40.327 --> 00:08:42.829
Is close to the end, he pushes himself up,
00:08:42.896 --> 00:08:45.265
He pushes himself up, and he looks down,
00:08:45.332 --> 00:08:46.700
And he looks down, and he sees his mother.
00:08:46.766 --> 00:08:50.937
And he sees his mother. and in that moment, he says,
00:08:51.004 --> 00:08:52.439
And in that moment, he says, "mother, behold your son."
00:08:52.505 --> 00:08:58.445
"mother, behold your son." and he says to john,
00:08:58.511 --> 00:09:01.314
And he says to john, "son, behold your mother.
00:09:01.381 --> 00:09:05.719
"son, behold your mother. i'm committing her," --
00:09:05.785 --> 00:09:07.220
I'm committing her," -- now, i want you
00:09:07.287 --> 00:09:07.887
Now, i want you to think about -- what
00:09:07.954 --> 00:09:08.521
To think about -- what i'm trying to say is this,
00:09:08.588 --> 00:09:10.123
I'm trying to say is this, we think the biggest
00:09:10.190 --> 00:09:11.324
We think the biggest thing is he's dying
00:09:11.391 --> 00:09:12.659
Thing is he's dying for billions and billions
00:09:12.726 --> 00:09:14.027
For billions and billions and billions of souls,
00:09:14.094 --> 00:09:15.328
And billions of souls, and it's true.
00:09:15.395 --> 00:09:16.329
And it's true. how important was this moment?
00:09:16.396 --> 00:09:17.931
How important was this moment? he's dying, he's bleeding,
00:09:17.998 --> 00:09:19.666
He's dying, he's bleeding, he's shedding his blood
00:09:19.733 --> 00:09:21.201
He's shedding his blood so that we could
00:09:21.267 --> 00:09:22.035
So that we could have eternal life,
00:09:22.102 --> 00:09:23.236
Have eternal life, so that we could live forever,
00:09:23.303 --> 00:09:24.771
So that we could live forever, so that we could have healing,
00:09:24.838 --> 00:09:26.239
So that we could have healing, so that we can have miracles,
00:09:26.306 --> 00:09:27.674
So that we can have miracles, so that we could be blessed.
00:09:27.741 --> 00:09:29.476
So that we could be blessed. but then he goes
00:09:29.542 --> 00:09:30.810
But then he goes to the tiny details.
00:09:30.877 --> 00:09:33.680
To the tiny details. "before i leave this world,
00:09:33.747 --> 00:09:35.782
"before i leave this world, i'm stopping and putting
00:09:35.849 --> 00:09:37.050
I'm stopping and putting everything on pause,
00:09:37.117 --> 00:09:38.885
Everything on pause, demons are watching,
00:09:38.952 --> 00:09:40.086
Demons are watching, angels are watching,
00:09:40.153 --> 00:09:41.321
Angels are watching, all of heaven is watching,"
00:09:41.388 --> 00:09:43.123
All of heaven is watching," and he puts everything,
00:09:43.189 --> 00:09:44.924
And he puts everything, billions of souls lie in --
00:09:44.991 --> 00:09:47.761
Billions of souls lie in -- at stake,
00:09:47.827 --> 00:09:48.595
At stake, and he freezes everything,
00:09:48.662 --> 00:09:51.131
And he freezes everything, and he says,
00:09:51.197 --> 00:09:52.265
And he says, "i'm gonna get into the details
00:09:52.332 --> 00:09:54.601
"i'm gonna get into the details of this precious woman,
00:09:54.668 --> 00:09:56.136
Of this precious woman, my mother.
00:09:56.202 --> 00:09:58.038
My mother. i want her taken care
00:09:58.104 --> 00:09:59.406
I want her taken care of when i leave.
00:09:59.472 --> 00:10:03.243
Of when i leave. take care of my mother."
00:10:03.309 --> 00:10:06.813
Take care of my mother." he's not just
00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:07.547
He's not just the god of the big stuff --
00:10:07.614 --> 00:10:08.948
The god of the big stuff -- and what did that mean to her?
00:10:09.015 --> 00:10:10.850
And what did that mean to her? because on another occasion,
00:10:10.917 --> 00:10:12.419
Because on another occasion, when he started his ministry,
00:10:12.485 --> 00:10:14.154
When he started his ministry, he was doing mighty miracles,
00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.755
He was doing mighty miracles, and the place was filled,
00:10:15.822 --> 00:10:16.990
And the place was filled, and they came to him and said,
00:10:17.057 --> 00:10:17.957
And they came to him and said, "jesus, jesus, you gotta
00:10:18.024 --> 00:10:19.092
"jesus, jesus, you gotta shut this down because your
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.593
Shut this down because your mother and your half-brothers
00:10:20.660 --> 00:10:22.328
Mother and your half-brothers are here to see you."
00:10:22.395 --> 00:10:23.363
Are here to see you." and jesus said,
00:10:23.430 --> 00:10:24.230
And jesus said, "who are -- who is my mother?
00:10:24.297 --> 00:10:27.667
"who are -- who is my mother? and who are my brothers except
00:10:27.734 --> 00:10:29.669
And who are my brothers except you who hear
00:10:29.736 --> 00:10:30.603
You who hear the word and do it?"
00:10:30.670 --> 00:10:33.740
The word and do it?" but this was almost
00:10:33.807 --> 00:10:34.741
But this was almost like jesus saying,
00:10:34.808 --> 00:10:36.242
Like jesus saying, "i can't leave here without
00:10:36.309 --> 00:10:39.045
"i can't leave here without getting into the details
00:10:39.112 --> 00:10:40.847
Getting into the details of this one person,
00:10:40.914 --> 00:10:43.216
Of this one person, i love her so much
00:10:43.283 --> 00:10:45.518
I love her so much that i'll interrupt everything
00:10:45.585 --> 00:10:47.220
That i'll interrupt everything i'm doing so that she will
00:10:47.287 --> 00:10:49.589
I'm doing so that she will know i care about the details
00:10:49.656 --> 00:10:53.093
Know i care about the details of the rest of your life,
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:54.794
Of the rest of your life, i want you taken care of."
00:10:54.861 --> 00:10:57.831
I want you taken care of." that's the kind of god
00:10:57.897 --> 00:10:58.798
That's the kind of god that we have,
00:10:58.865 --> 00:11:00.667
That we have, that's the kind
00:11:00.734 --> 00:11:01.468
That's the kind of god that we serve.
00:11:01.534 --> 00:11:03.803
Of god that we serve. he came as a man
00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:04.938
He came as a man to let us know how much
00:11:05.004 --> 00:11:06.139
To let us know how much he loves us,
00:11:06.206 --> 00:11:07.073
He loves us, and i tell you that's
00:11:07.140 --> 00:11:07.841
And i tell you that's a big thing.
00:11:07.907 --> 00:11:08.875
A big thing. the huge, amazing love of god.
00:11:08.942 --> 00:11:10.610
The huge, amazing love of god. how many of you are thankful
00:11:10.677 --> 00:11:11.778
How many of you are thankful that he saved you?
00:11:11.845 --> 00:11:13.580
That he saved you? can we just take a moment?
00:11:13.646 --> 00:11:16.216
Can we just take a moment? think about that.
00:11:16.282 --> 00:11:18.718
Think about that. but can we go a little bit
00:11:18.785 --> 00:11:19.619
But can we go a little bit further and say yeah,
00:11:19.686 --> 00:11:21.354
Further and say yeah, he did a big,
00:11:21.421 --> 00:11:22.622
He did a big, amazing thing at calvary,
00:11:22.689 --> 00:11:23.957
Amazing thing at calvary, but it didn't stop at calvary
00:11:24.023 --> 00:11:25.525
But it didn't stop at calvary if we were all
00:11:25.592 --> 00:11:26.426
To tell the truth.
00:11:26.526 --> 00:11:27.927
Psalms 68:19 said this same god,
00:11:27.994 --> 00:11:31.498
"blessed be the lord god that
00:11:31.564 --> 00:11:33.466
Daily loadeth us down
00:11:33.533 --> 00:11:36.736
With benefits."
00:11:36.803 --> 00:11:39.639
He daily, every day
00:11:39.739 --> 00:11:41.975
He daily, every day he looks down,
00:11:42.041 --> 00:11:43.176
He looks down, every day he looks at us,
00:11:43.243 --> 00:11:45.011
Every day he looks at us, every day he takes
00:11:45.078 --> 00:11:46.546
Every day he takes care of us.
00:11:46.613 --> 00:11:47.514
Care of us. every day.
00:11:47.580 --> 00:11:48.681
Daily he loads us down.
00:11:48.782 --> 00:11:51.050
He's into the details.
00:11:51.151 --> 00:11:56.089
He's into the details. nobody's in
00:11:56.156 --> 00:11:56.790
Nobody's in the details like god.
00:11:56.856 --> 00:11:59.592
The details like god. he knows, according
00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:00.593
He knows, according to psalms 138,
00:12:00.660 --> 00:12:02.228
To psalms 138, he knows your down sitting
00:12:02.295 --> 00:12:04.197
He knows your down sitting and your uprising.
00:12:04.264 --> 00:12:06.366
And your uprising. he knows the number of hairs
00:12:06.432 --> 00:12:08.401
He knows the number of hairs that are on your head,
00:12:08.468 --> 00:12:10.703
That are on your head, he knows your address,
00:12:10.770 --> 00:12:12.605
He knows your address, he knows your family,
00:12:12.672 --> 00:12:14.140
He knows your family, he knows your children,
00:12:14.207 --> 00:12:15.875
He knows your children, he knows your grandchildren,
00:12:15.942 --> 00:12:17.811
He knows your grandchildren, he knows every detail
00:12:17.877 --> 00:12:19.646
He knows every detail of your family.
00:12:19.712 --> 00:12:20.613
Of your family. you say, "i know that,
00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:21.414
You say, "i know that, i didn't come to church
00:12:21.481 --> 00:12:22.115
I didn't come to church just to hear that."
00:12:22.182 --> 00:12:22.916
Just to hear that." well -- but you don't understand
00:12:22.982 --> 00:12:24.584
Well -- but you don't understand it like you need
00:12:24.651 --> 00:12:25.285
It like you need to understand it.
00:12:25.351 --> 00:12:30.456
To understand it. i had a dream on a saturday
00:12:30.523 --> 00:12:31.624
I had a dream on a saturday night in my bed,
00:12:31.691 --> 00:12:34.494
Night in my bed, many, many, many years ago.
00:12:34.561 --> 00:12:35.762
Many, many, many years ago. it was the most unusual dream
00:12:35.829 --> 00:12:37.030
It was the most unusual dream i've ever had in my life.
00:12:37.096 --> 00:12:40.366
I've ever had in my life. it was in technicolor,
00:12:40.433 --> 00:12:41.801
It was in technicolor, just like i see you,
00:12:41.868 --> 00:12:42.869
Just like i see you, just -- i mean,
00:12:42.936 --> 00:12:43.770
Just -- i mean, as clear as i see you right now.
00:12:43.837 --> 00:12:46.806
As clear as i see you right now. i was aware that i was dreaming,
00:12:46.873 --> 00:12:48.775
I was aware that i was dreaming, but also knew that i was there,
00:12:48.842 --> 00:12:52.078
But also knew that i was there, and i was walking into
00:12:52.145 --> 00:12:52.879
And i was walking into a funeral home,
00:12:52.946 --> 00:12:54.881
A funeral home, and i walked up
00:12:54.948 --> 00:12:56.249
And i walked up to a miniature casket,
00:12:56.316 --> 00:12:59.185
To a miniature casket, the lid was open.
00:12:59.252 --> 00:13:02.155
And i looked down
00:13:02.255 --> 00:13:05.024
And i saw my three-year-old
00:13:05.124 --> 00:13:07.527
And i saw my three-year-old daughter's face, caressa.
00:13:07.594 --> 00:13:11.097
Daughter's face, caressa. she was dead,
00:13:11.164 --> 00:13:13.499
She was dead, and she was in that coffin.
00:13:13.566 --> 00:13:16.870
And she was in that coffin. and i felt like --
00:13:16.936 --> 00:13:20.907
And i felt like -- i don't even know how
00:13:20.974 --> 00:13:21.541
I don't even know how to describe what i felt.
00:13:21.608 --> 00:13:24.477
To describe what i felt. i reached over
00:13:24.544 --> 00:13:25.311
I reached over and i woke cherise up
00:13:25.378 --> 00:13:27.080
And i woke cherise up and i told her
00:13:27.146 --> 00:13:27.580
And i told her what had happened,
00:13:27.647 --> 00:13:30.183
What had happened, and we began to cry,
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:31.818
And we began to cry, and we began to pray,
00:13:31.885 --> 00:13:34.087
And we began to pray, and the presence of god
00:13:34.153 --> 00:13:35.388
And the presence of god filled that bedroom.
00:13:35.455 --> 00:13:40.593
Filled that bedroom. and i grabbed a pad
00:13:40.660 --> 00:13:41.694
And i grabbed a pad and a piece of paper,
00:13:41.761 --> 00:13:42.729
And a piece of paper, and i had my sermon prepared,
00:13:42.795 --> 00:13:44.464
And i had my sermon prepared, and the lord gave me
00:13:44.530 --> 00:13:45.632
And the lord gave me these words,
00:13:45.698 --> 00:13:46.900
These words, just as clear as i can hear
00:13:46.966 --> 00:13:49.402
Just as clear as i can hear my own voice right now,
00:13:49.469 --> 00:13:51.104
My own voice right now, "cancel the devil's assignment
00:13:51.170 --> 00:13:53.539
"cancel the devil's assignment over your kids."
00:13:53.606 --> 00:13:55.441

There was a -- the thing that stood out to me
00:14:03.016 --> 00:14:04.751
The thing that stood out to me is i remember

Is i remember there was a groaning,
00:14:05.485 --> 00:14:06.953
There was a groaning, there was a --
00:14:07.020 --> 00:14:08.621
There was a -- it's almost like that verse
00:14:08.688 --> 00:14:09.756
It's almost like that verse where it says rachel
00:14:09.822 --> 00:14:10.657
Where it says rachel weeping for her children.
00:14:10.723 --> 00:14:12.558
Weeping for her children. there was a deep intercession.
00:14:12.625 --> 00:14:16.262
There was a deep intercession. hundreds and even --
00:14:16.329 --> 00:14:18.097
Hundreds and even -- hundreds and hundreds

Of people lingered. they were all the way
00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:21.935
They were all the way up the aisles,

Up the aisles, and families praying,
00:14:23.069 --> 00:14:24.837
And families praying, families holding one another,
00:14:24.904 --> 00:14:28.074
Families holding one another, pleading the blood of jesus,
00:14:28.141 --> 00:14:30.009

We get in the car, and we drive a day early,

And we drive a day early, watch the details,
00:15:08.214 --> 00:15:09.549
Watch the details, and we get to sea world
00:15:09.615 --> 00:15:11.617
And we get to sea world and a storm comes,
00:15:11.684 --> 00:15:12.618
And a storm comes, make a long story short,
00:15:12.685 --> 00:15:13.920
Make a long story short, lightening flash hits

Tornado's coming, and 5,000 people run
00:15:23.396 --> 00:15:25.365
And 5,000 people run for shelter up under a thing
00:15:25.431 --> 00:15:29.435
For shelter up under a thing that covered people
00:15:29.502 --> 00:15:30.837
That covered people from the elements.
00:15:30.903 --> 00:15:32.805
From the elements. and we're grabbing our stuff,

Going up the steps, she got away from us,

And boy, we're all just panicking and moving,
00:15:42.281 --> 00:15:43.516
Panicking and moving, but we're watching her,
00:15:43.583 --> 00:15:44.183
But we're watching her, and we're gonna get her
00:15:44.250 --> 00:15:44.851
And we're gonna get her when we get up there
00:15:44.917 --> 00:15:46.152
When we get up there where there's a
00:15:46.219 --> 00:15:46.519
Where there's a little more space.
00:15:46.586 --> 00:15:47.820
Little more space. and as we're going up the steps,
00:15:47.887 --> 00:15:49.889
And as we're going up the steps, we get up there and finally,
00:15:49.956 --> 00:15:51.124
We get up there and finally, i mean,

26-year-old girl standing that she had never met,
00:16:11.244 --> 00:16:12.311
That she had never met, we didn't know these people,
00:16:12.378 --> 00:16:14.080
We didn't know these people, and she ran right

And she ran right to the girl,
00:16:15.448 --> 00:16:16.682
To the girl, into her arms,
00:16:16.749 --> 00:16:18.017
Into her arms, and the girl picked her up
00:16:18.084 --> 00:16:19.619

"come on baby, come on." she would not do it,
00:16:31.931 --> 00:16:33.132
She would not do it, and she was real
00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:33.733
And she was real clingy to cherise.
