- Who it was. "so, jacob called
- 00:02:48.105 --> 00:02:48.973
- "so, jacob called the name of the place, peniel,"
- 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.141

- God face to face, and my life is preserved.
- 00:02:56.747 --> 00:02:59.483
- And my life is preserved. just as he crossed over peniel,
- 00:02:59.550 --> 00:03:02.453
- Just as he crossed over peniel, the sun rose on him,
- 00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:05.623
- The sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip
- 00:03:05.689 --> 00:03:07.391
- And he limped on his hip because it had been
- 00:03:07.458 --> 00:03:08.025
- Because it had been pulled out of joint.
- 00:03:08.092 --> 00:03:11.362
- Pulled out of joint. therefore, this day,
- 00:03:11.428 --> 00:03:12.930
- Therefore, this day, the children of israel
- 00:03:12.997 --> 00:03:14.131
- The children of israel do not eat the muscle
- 00:03:14.198 --> 00:03:15.833
- Do not eat the muscle that shrank,
- 00:03:15.899 --> 00:03:17.668
- That shrank, which is on the hip socket
- 00:03:17.735 --> 00:03:19.069
- Which is on the hip socket because he touched
- 00:03:19.136 --> 00:03:20.938
- Because he touched the socket of jacob's hip
- 00:03:21.005 --> 00:03:23.507
- The socket of jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank."

- In the muscle that shrank." and in that moment,
- 00:03:27.044 --> 00:03:29.346
- And in that moment, the angel said to jacob,
- 00:03:29.413 --> 00:03:30.848
- The angel said to jacob, "what is your name?
- 00:03:30.914 --> 00:03:33.083
- "what is your name? and he said, 'i'm jacob.'
- 00:03:33.150 --> 00:03:34.051

- What does that mean? that means that anything you do
- 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.302
- That means that anything you do that's in the will of god,

- When he got changed -- in his name,
- 00:05:21.191 --> 00:05:21.959
- In his name, think of that.
- 00:05:22.025 --> 00:05:22.893
- Think of that. he was just jacob
- 00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:24.194

- Will become the children of not jacob, israel.
- 00:05:38.409 --> 00:05:42.579
- Of not jacob, israel. and out of those children

- Was so overwhelming of what might happen.
- 00:08:16.099 --> 00:08:17.167
- Of what might happen. this might happen.

- And in those moments, sometimes i'll just say
- 00:08:27.444 --> 00:08:29.012
- Sometimes i'll just say to the family, to cherise,
- 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.747

- And when i go in, i'm defeated,
- 00:08:37.321 --> 00:08:40.090
- I'm defeated, but when i come out
- 00:08:40.157 --> 00:08:41.592
- But when i come out of those encounters,
- 00:08:41.658 --> 00:08:43.527
- Of those encounters, i have a courage
- 00:08:43.594 --> 00:08:44.461
- I have a courage that i cannot explain.
- 00:08:44.528 --> 00:08:46.396
- That i cannot explain. i have a faith that does not
- 00:08:46.463 --> 00:08:48.131
- I have a faith that does not alter with the blowing

- Of the wind in whatever direction the wind blows.
- 00:08:50.334 --> 00:08:51.535
- Direction the wind blows. but something in me says,
- 00:08:51.602 --> 00:08:53.470
- But something in me says, "if god be for me,
- 00:08:53.537 --> 00:08:55.472
- "if god be for me, who can be against me?
- 00:08:55.539 --> 00:08:57.507

- I'm almost done. and notice this,
- 00:09:20.263 --> 00:09:21.164
- And notice this, the bible said,
- 00:09:21.231 --> 00:09:21.932
- The bible said, "and when the sun rose,"
- 00:09:21.999 --> 00:09:24.968
- "and when the sun rose," after he pulled his
- 00:09:25.035 --> 00:09:25.902
- After he pulled his hip out of socket,
- 00:09:25.969 --> 00:09:28.639
- Hip out of socket, "he halted upon his thigh."
- 00:09:28.705 --> 00:09:30.807
- "he halted upon his thigh." in other words,
- 00:09:30.874 --> 00:09:31.475
- In other words, it altered his walk.
- 00:09:31.541 --> 00:09:34.444
- It altered his walk. in other words,
- 00:09:34.511 --> 00:09:36.446
- In other words, the next step that he took
- 00:09:36.513 --> 00:09:38.448
- The next step that he took was different from the way
- 00:09:38.515 --> 00:09:39.983
- Was different from the way he walked into that situation.
- 00:09:40.050 --> 00:09:44.354
- He walked into that situation. what i'm trying to say to you
- 00:09:44.421 --> 00:09:45.756
- What i'm trying to say to you is the step that he took
- 00:09:45.822 --> 00:09:46.857
- Is the step that he took after coming to that moment
- 00:09:46.923 --> 00:09:48.892
- After coming to that moment was not the same step
- 00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:50.394
- Was not the same step he was going to take.
- 00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:51.662
- He was going to take. now, ooh, this is so important.
- 00:09:51.728 --> 00:09:55.365
- Now, ooh, this is so important. when you really encounter god
- 00:09:55.432 --> 00:09:57.534
- When you really encounter god the way that i'm preaching

- This morning, not a religious something,
- 00:09:59.336 --> 00:10:00.504
- Not a religious something, another bible, blah,
- 00:10:00.570 --> 00:10:01.672
- Another bible, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 00:10:01.738 --> 00:10:02.506
- Blah, blah, blah. i'm talking about a personal
- 00:10:02.572 --> 00:10:03.974
- I'm talking about a personal encounter with jesus christ.
- 00:10:04.041 --> 00:10:07.277
- Encounter with jesus christ. it will alter,
- 00:10:07.344 --> 00:10:08.345
- It will alter, in other words,
- 00:10:08.412 --> 00:10:09.946
- In other words, it altered --
- 00:10:10.013 --> 00:10:10.814
- It altered -- the steps --
- 00:10:10.881 --> 00:10:12.249
- The steps -- the step that he took
- 00:10:12.315 --> 00:10:13.550
- The step that he took after he pulled his hip
- 00:10:13.617 --> 00:10:15.252
- After he pulled his hip out of joint was not the same
- 00:10:15.318 --> 00:10:18.355
- Out of joint was not the same step he would've
- 00:10:18.422 --> 00:10:19.623
- Step he would've taken before.
- 00:10:19.690 --> 00:10:21.958
- Taken before. and that's a type.
- 00:10:22.025 --> 00:10:22.993
- And that's a type. that's an analogy of what a true
- 00:10:23.060 --> 00:10:27.264

- The one who carried your sins to the cross,
- 00:10:41.211 --> 00:10:43.413
- Your sins to the cross, the one who in agony
- 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.482
- The one who in agony and moaned and groaned,
- 00:10:45.549 --> 00:10:47.217
- And moaned and groaned, and he had you on his mind
- 00:10:47.284 --> 00:10:48.985
- And he had you on his mind when they hung him high
- 00:10:49.052 --> 00:10:50.253
- When they hung him high and they stretched him wide.
- 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:55.692
- And they stretched him wide. and it changed his next step.
- 00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:01.031
- And it changed his next step. your next step will
- 00:11:01.098 --> 00:11:02.599
- Your next step will either be the right direction
- 00:11:02.666 --> 00:11:04.000
- Either be the right direction or the wrong direction.
- 00:11:04.067 --> 00:11:06.403
- Or the wrong direction. and it all depends
- 00:11:06.470 --> 00:11:07.270
- And it all depends on whether or not
- 00:11:07.337 --> 00:11:08.305
- On whether or not you have an encounter with god.
- 00:11:08.371 --> 00:11:12.909
- You have an encounter with god. it changes your identity,
- 00:11:12.976 --> 00:11:14.478
- It changes your identity, it affects your journey,
- 00:11:14.544 --> 00:11:15.846
- It affects your journey, it changes your direction.
- 00:11:15.912 --> 00:11:17.881
- It changes your direction. and lastly,
- 00:11:17.948 --> 00:11:20.450
- And lastly, because of this touch,
- 00:11:20.517 --> 00:11:23.286
- Because of this touch, when the angel touched him
- 00:11:23.353 --> 00:11:26.089
- When the angel touched him in that encounter
- 00:11:26.156 --> 00:11:28.458
- In that encounter and marked him,
- 00:11:28.525 --> 00:11:30.560
- And marked him, the bible said in verse 32,
- 00:11:30.627 --> 00:11:32.095
- The bible said in verse 32, you'll read right over,
- 00:11:32.162 --> 00:11:33.330
- You'll read right over, it's the last
- 00:11:33.396 --> 00:11:34.064
- It's the last verse of the text,
- 00:11:34.131 --> 00:11:35.932
- Verse of the text, and it says in verse 32,
- 00:11:35.999 --> 00:11:37.701
- And it says in verse 32, "therefore, the children
- 00:11:37.768 --> 00:11:39.569
- "therefore, the children of israel,"
- 00:11:39.636 --> 00:11:41.805
- Of israel," this is so weird,
- 00:11:41.872 --> 00:11:43.306
- This is so weird, "did not eat the muscle
- 00:11:43.373 --> 00:11:44.674
- "did not eat the muscle that shrank,
- 00:11:44.741 --> 00:11:46.276
- That shrank, which is on the hip socket
- 00:11:46.343 --> 00:11:48.945
- Which is on the hip socket because he," jesus the angel,
- 00:11:49.012 --> 00:11:53.016
- Because he," jesus the angel, "touched the socket
- 00:11:53.083 --> 00:11:54.918
- "touched the socket of jacob's hip
- 00:11:54.985 --> 00:11:56.286
- Of jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank."
- 00:11:56.353 --> 00:12:00.724
- In the muscle that shrank." what is that about?
- 00:12:00.791 --> 00:12:03.093
- What is that about? when you have one of these
- 00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:04.194
- When you have one of these encounters that i'm talking
- 00:12:04.261 --> 00:12:05.462
- Encounters that i'm talking about this morning,
- 00:12:05.529 --> 00:12:08.598
- About this morning, there is a touch,
- 00:12:08.665 --> 00:12:09.966
- There is a touch, and that touch so defines you
- 00:12:10.033 --> 00:12:14.604
- And that touch so defines you that they used to eat
- 00:12:14.671 --> 00:12:16.006
- That they used to eat that part of the sheep.
- 00:12:16.072 --> 00:12:19.342
- That part of the sheep. they used to eat that muscle
- 00:12:19.409 --> 00:12:21.111
- They used to eat that muscle that was over the hip.
- 00:12:21.178 --> 00:12:22.245
- That was over the hip. they used to,
- 00:12:22.312 --> 00:12:23.146
- They used to, but they don't do it anymore.
- 00:12:23.213 --> 00:12:25.282
- But they don't do it anymore. what happened?
- 00:12:25.348 --> 00:12:26.716
- What happened? when they got a fresh touch,
- 00:12:26.783 --> 00:12:28.318
- When they got a fresh touch, they got a fresh conviction.
- 00:12:28.385 --> 00:12:32.255
- They got a fresh conviction. and if you don't
- 00:12:32.322 --> 00:12:32.956
- And if you don't ever get fresh touches,
- 00:12:33.023 --> 00:12:34.224
- Ever get fresh touches, you don't get any
- 00:12:34.291 --> 00:12:35.025
- You don't get any fresh convictions.
- 00:12:35.091 --> 00:12:40.130
- Fresh convictions. but they said,
- 00:12:40.197 --> 00:12:41.131
- But they said, "because he got touched,
- 00:12:41.198 --> 00:12:43.533
- "because he got touched, it's affecting us.
- 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.635
- It's affecting us. and we will ne --
- 00:12:45.702 --> 00:12:46.536
- And we will ne -- we used to eat
- 00:12:46.603 --> 00:12:47.037
- We used to eat it all the time,
- 00:12:47.103 --> 00:12:48.205
- It all the time, but that part of that animal
- 00:12:48.271 --> 00:12:49.739
- But that part of that animal we will never eat again."
- 00:12:49.806 --> 00:12:53.376
- We will never eat again." and it wasn't legalism,
- 00:12:53.443 --> 00:12:55.812
- And it wasn't legalism, it was just the fact
- 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:56.880
- It was just the fact that they had had
- 00:12:56.947 --> 00:12:57.948
- That they had had an encounter with god,
- 00:12:58.014 --> 00:12:59.015
- An encounter with god, and he had touched
- 00:12:59.082 --> 00:12:59.983
- And he had touched some part of their life --
- 00:13:00.050 --> 00:13:02.085
- Some part of their life -- of his life,
- 00:13:02.152 --> 00:13:02.953
- Of his life, the hollow place.
- 00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:07.090
- The hollow place. guess what i'm trying to preach
- 00:13:07.157 --> 00:13:08.358
- Guess what i'm trying to preach is when you walk out of church,
- 00:13:08.425 --> 00:13:10.961
- Is when you walk out of church, every once in a while,
- 00:13:11.027 --> 00:13:11.761
- Every once in a while, you ought to walk out
- 00:13:11.828 --> 00:13:13.129
- You ought to walk out with a new conviction.
- 00:13:13.196 --> 00:13:17.868
- With a new conviction. "i don't think that's necessary.
- 00:13:17.934 --> 00:13:19.269
- "i don't think that's necessary. and i don't know --
- 00:13:19.336 --> 00:13:20.770
- And i don't know -- i don't like that.
- 00:13:20.837 --> 00:13:22.105
- I don't like that. and i don't let go --
- 00:13:22.172 --> 00:13:24.107
- And i don't let go -- i'm gon' to just
- 00:13:24.174 --> 00:13:24.841
- I'm gon' to just let go of that conviction.
- 00:13:24.908 --> 00:13:25.842
- Let go of that conviction. and i tell you,
- 00:13:25.909 --> 00:13:26.676
- And i tell you, times have changed,
- 00:13:26.743 --> 00:13:27.777
- Times have changed, and we just need to
- 00:13:27.844 --> 00:13:28.745
- And we just need to be like everybody else.
- 00:13:28.812 --> 00:13:29.980
- Be like everybody else. and i can hold on to this
- 00:13:30.046 --> 00:13:31.314
- And i can hold on to this and hold on to that and do it --
- 00:13:31.381 --> 00:13:32.449
- And hold on to that and do it -- live any old way i want to live
- 00:13:32.515 --> 00:13:33.950
- Live any old way i want to live and i'm okay.
- 00:13:34.017 --> 00:13:35.552
- And i'm okay. and me and --
- 00:13:35.619 --> 00:13:36.920
- And me and -- jesus is just all
- 00:13:36.987 --> 00:13:38.121
- Jesus is just all right with me.
- 00:13:38.188 --> 00:13:39.689
- Right with me. jesus is."
- 00:13:39.756 --> 00:13:40.590
- Jesus is." [laughter]
- 00:13:40.657 --> 00:13:45.729
- [laughter] but i'm gonna
- 00:13:45.795 --> 00:13:46.263
- But i'm gonna tell you something.
- 00:13:46.329 --> 00:13:48.265
- Tell you something. we're throwing
- 00:13:48.331 --> 00:13:48.865
- We're throwing away our convictions.
- 00:13:48.932 --> 00:13:52.269
- Away our convictions. we're seeing a nation
- 00:13:52.335 --> 00:13:53.403
- We're seeing a nation who's lost its moral
- 00:13:53.470 --> 00:13:54.371
- Who's lost its moral values completely.
- 00:13:54.437 --> 00:13:56.907
- Values completely. we're losing the desire
- 00:13:56.973 --> 00:13:59.142
- We're losing the desire for the house of god.
- 00:13:59.209 --> 00:13:59.976
- For the house of god. thank god it's not around here.
- 00:14:00.043 --> 00:14:01.811
- Thank god it's not around here. but i'm just saying.
- 00:14:01.878 --> 00:14:03.980
- But i'm just saying. the things that made us great,
- 00:14:04.047 --> 00:14:06.383
- The things that made us great, great families.
- 00:14:06.449 --> 00:14:09.019
- Great families. when we got saved,
- 00:14:09.085 --> 00:14:10.153
- When we got saved, we threw stuff
- 00:14:10.220 --> 00:14:10.987
- We threw stuff out of our lives.
- 00:14:11.054 --> 00:14:11.821
- Out of our lives. not 'cause somebody made us,
- 00:14:11.888 --> 00:14:13.123
- Not 'cause somebody made us, but we just felt
- 00:14:13.189 --> 00:14:14.024
- But we just felt convicted of it.
- 00:14:14.090 --> 00:14:15.158
- Convicted of it. "i'm done with that.
- 00:14:15.225 --> 00:14:16.927
- "i'm done with that. i'm done with that lifestyle.
- 00:14:16.993 --> 00:14:18.595
- I'm done with that lifestyle. i'm done with that.
- 00:14:18.662 --> 00:14:19.729
- I'm done with that. i don't want that lifestyle.
- 00:14:19.796 --> 00:14:22.432
- I don't want that lifestyle. and so, what happens
- 00:14:22.499 --> 00:14:24.134
- And so, what happens is if you don't
- 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:24.968
- Is if you don't have a fresh touch
- 00:14:25.035 --> 00:14:26.002
- Have a fresh touch every now and then,
- 00:14:26.069 --> 00:14:27.871
- Every now and then, you don't get a conviction
- 00:14:27.938 --> 00:14:29.172
- You don't get a conviction like that.
- 00:14:29.239 --> 00:14:30.840
- Like that. that says,
- 00:14:30.907 --> 00:14:31.374
- That says, "as for me and my house,
- 00:14:31.441 --> 00:14:32.442
- "as for me and my house, we will serve the lord.
- 00:14:32.509 --> 00:14:35.178
- We will serve the lord. i can't partake
- 00:14:35.245 --> 00:14:36.046
- I can't partake of that no longer."
- 00:14:36.112 --> 00:14:38.181
- Of that no longer." when we lack convictions,
- 00:14:38.248 --> 00:14:39.616
- When we lack convictions, it's because we lack those
- 00:14:39.683 --> 00:14:41.451
- It's because we lack those moments that mark us.
- 00:14:41.518 --> 00:14:48.425
- Moments that mark us. before you make a decision
- 00:14:48.491 --> 00:14:49.693
- Before you make a decision to just throw some
- 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.261
- To just throw some conviction away
- 00:14:51.328 --> 00:14:52.462
- Conviction away and pick up stuff that you
- 00:14:52.529 --> 00:14:53.997
- And pick up stuff that you once felt convicted of again.
- 00:14:54.064 --> 00:14:56.800
- Once felt convicted of again. you used to not get drunk.
- 00:14:56.866 --> 00:14:58.601
- You used to not get drunk. you used to not to get high.
- 00:14:58.668 --> 00:15:00.003
- You used to not to get high. you used to run with
- 00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:01.638
- You used to run with the clubs and sleep around.
- 00:15:01.705 --> 00:15:03.540
- The clubs and sleep around. you used to not to do
- 00:15:03.606 --> 00:15:04.441
- You used to not to do it when you got saved.
- 00:15:04.507 --> 00:15:05.642
- It when you got saved. before you start going
- 00:15:05.709 --> 00:15:06.843
- Before you start going back to that stuff,
- 00:15:06.910 --> 00:15:09.145
- Back to that stuff, i want you to have a revival.
- 00:15:09.212 --> 00:15:11.381
- I want you to have a revival. and i want you
- 00:15:11.448 --> 00:15:12.015
- And i want you to come out of a service
- 00:15:12.082 --> 00:15:13.416
- To come out of a service where the holy spirit has moved.
- 00:15:13.483 --> 00:15:15.485
- Where the holy spirit has moved. and then after you've
- 00:15:15.552 --> 00:15:17.454
- And then after you've had an encounter,
- 00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:18.688
- Had an encounter, there ought to be --
- 00:15:18.755 --> 00:15:19.756
- There ought to be -- before you let
- 00:15:19.823 --> 00:15:20.724
- Before you let go of something that's been
- 00:15:20.790 --> 00:15:21.791
- Go of something that's been in your family for a long time,
- 00:15:21.858 --> 00:15:25.462
- In your family for a long time, faith that's been
- 00:15:25.528 --> 00:15:26.429
- Faith that's been in your family, young people
- 00:15:26.496 --> 00:15:27.931
- In your family, young people for a long time,
- 00:15:27.998 --> 00:15:29.299
- For a long time, convictions and standards
- 00:15:29.366 --> 00:15:31.167
- Convictions and standards and values that have been
- 00:15:31.234 --> 00:15:32.769
- And values that have been in your family for a long time,
- 00:15:32.836 --> 00:15:36.406
- In your family for a long time, there ought to be some tears
- 00:15:36.473 --> 00:15:37.807
- There ought to be some tears before you just let it go.
- 00:15:37.874 --> 00:15:39.509
- Before you just let it go. there ought to be some fasting.
- 00:15:39.576 --> 00:15:41.277
- There ought to be some fasting. do it after you fasted 21 days.
- 00:15:41.344 --> 00:15:44.214
- Do it after you fasted 21 days. do it after you've been in
- 00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:45.648
- Do it after you've been in a red hot service
- 00:15:45.715 --> 00:15:47.083
- A red hot service and the power of god,
- 00:15:47.150 --> 00:15:48.084
- And the power of god, and you kept wiping
- 00:15:48.151 --> 00:15:49.019
- And you kept wiping the tears away,
- 00:15:49.085 --> 00:15:50.220
- The tears away, and you were embarrassed
- 00:15:50.286 --> 00:15:51.588
- And you were embarrassed cause the presence
- 00:15:51.654 --> 00:15:52.155
- Cause the presence of god was so --
- 00:15:52.222 --> 00:15:53.156
- Of god was so -- then go out and light
- 00:15:53.223 --> 00:15:54.391

- But every now and then you need to have an encounter.
- 00:16:20.717 --> 00:16:22.318
- You need to have an encounter. because what happens is
- 00:16:22.385 --> 00:16:23.586
- Because what happens is when he touches you,
- 00:16:23.653 --> 00:16:26.089
- When he touches you, suddenly there's
- 00:16:26.156 --> 00:16:27.490
- Suddenly there's a fresh conviction.
- 00:16:27.557 --> 00:16:28.892
- A fresh conviction. "and i used to,
- 00:16:28.958 --> 00:16:30.393
- "and i used to, but i don't do it anymore."
- 00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:31.828
- But i don't do it anymore." and i feel myself sometimes,
- 00:16:31.895 --> 00:16:33.930
- And i feel myself sometimes, the very current of this world
- 00:16:33.997 --> 00:16:36.533
- The very current of this world is to pull us away,
- 00:16:36.599 --> 00:16:37.901
- Is to pull us away, pull us away,
- 00:16:37.967 --> 00:16:38.601
- Pull us away, pull us away.
- 00:16:38.668 --> 00:16:39.736
- Pull us away. and every now and then,
- 00:16:39.803 --> 00:16:40.537
- And every now and then, when i feel myself --
- 00:16:40.603 --> 00:16:41.471
- When i feel myself -- and it's happening
- 00:16:41.538 --> 00:16:42.305
- And it's happening and i'm letting
- 00:16:42.372 --> 00:16:42.705
- And i'm letting my standards down
- 00:16:42.772 --> 00:16:43.840
- My standards down and i'm not on it,
- 00:16:43.907 --> 00:16:45.542
- And i'm not on it, and i'll just have to get
- 00:16:45.608 --> 00:16:46.876
- And i'll just have to get alone with god,
- 00:16:46.943 --> 00:16:51.481
- Alone with god, and i'll come
- 00:16:51.548 --> 00:16:52.082

- Outta that place. i wrote this down the other day,
- 00:16:55.051 --> 00:16:56.219
- I wrote this down the other day, and i think it's
- 00:16:56.286 --> 00:16:56.853
- And i think it's the word of the lord.
- 00:16:56.920 --> 00:16:59.622
- The word of the lord. if you've been
- 00:16:59.689 --> 00:17:00.156

- 00:17:02.725 --> 00:17:03.093
- You know, that's the spirit
- 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:03.660
- That's the spirit of the new gen --
- 00:17:03.726 --> 00:17:04.761
- Of the new gen -- "i question that.
- 00:17:04.828 --> 00:17:06.096

- And i question that. and i question that."
- 00:17:07.530 --> 00:17:11.668
- And i question that." when you have a god encounter,
- 00:17:11.734 --> 00:17:13.570
- When you have a god encounter, it makes you sure again.
- 00:17:13.636 --> 00:17:14.838
- It makes you sure again. [applause]
- 00:17:14.904 --> 00:17:19.976

- I'm sure about the house of god. i'm sure about being
- 00:17:25.081 --> 00:17:27.117
- I'm sure about being in the house of god.

- In the house of god. i'm sure about tithing.
- 00:17:28.118 --> 00:17:34.224
- I'm sure about tithing. you can argue all you want.
- 00:17:34.290 --> 00:17:36.693
- You can argue all you want. i don't care.
- 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.095
- I don't care. i have my own convictions.
- 00:17:39.162 --> 00:17:40.630
- I have my own convictions. i don't set my convictions
- 00:17:40.697 --> 00:17:42.098
- I don't set my convictions according to what
- 00:17:42.165 --> 00:17:42.832
- According to what other people think.
- 00:17:42.899 --> 00:17:44.934
- Other people think. i get into word,
- 00:17:45.001 --> 00:17:46.302
- I get into word, and i get alone with jesus
- 00:17:46.369 --> 00:17:48.204
- And i get alone with jesus and i make sure that
- 00:17:48.271 --> 00:17:49.372
- And i make sure that what i'm saying is confirmed
- 00:17:49.439 --> 00:17:50.373
- What i'm saying is confirmed out of the mouth
- 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:51.107
- Out of the mouth that i don't get
- 00:17:51.174 --> 00:17:51.741
- That i don't get into weird doctrine either.
- 00:17:51.808 --> 00:17:54.410
- Into weird doctrine either. "me and jesus."
- 00:17:54.477 --> 00:17:55.211
- "me and jesus." no, not you and jesus.
- 00:17:55.278 --> 00:17:56.379
- No, not you and jesus. there's a lot of things that --
- 00:17:56.446 --> 00:17:57.947
- There's a lot of things that -- but when it's all said and done,
- 00:17:58.014 --> 00:18:00.049
- But when it's all said and done, if there's stuff in me,
- 00:18:00.116 --> 00:18:01.518
- If there's stuff in me, and there is,
- 00:18:01.584 --> 00:18:02.619
- And there is, if i'll wrestle,
- 00:18:02.685 --> 00:18:04.287
- If i'll wrestle, god can say,
- 00:18:04.354 --> 00:18:05.088
- God can say, "you used to,
- 00:18:05.155 --> 00:18:05.788
- "you used to, but you're not
- 00:18:05.855 --> 00:18:06.289
- But you're not gonna do it anymore."
- 00:18:06.356 --> 00:18:08.691
- Gonna do it anymore." and it's not a burdensome,
- 00:18:08.758 --> 00:18:10.126
- And it's not a burdensome, legalistic thing,
- 00:18:10.193 --> 00:18:11.161
- Legalistic thing, it's a joyful thing.
- 00:18:11.227 --> 00:18:15.165
