Raising a dead man who fell three stories out of a church
00:08:53.145 --> 00:08:54.880
Three stories out of a church when he fell asleep at midnight
00:08:54.947 --> 00:08:56.549
When he fell asleep at midnight and broke his neck,
00:08:56.616 --> 00:08:57.416
And broke his neck, and he raised him up
00:08:57.483 --> 00:08:58.284
And he raised him up from the dead,
00:08:58.351 --> 00:08:58.985
From the dead, but paul, the bible said,
00:08:59.051 --> 00:09:00.586
But paul, the bible said, i have this infirmity
00:09:00.653 --> 00:09:02.488
I have this infirmity in the flesh.
00:09:02.555 --> 00:09:03.789
In the flesh. i have a thorn.
00:09:03.856 --> 00:09:04.690
I have a thorn. the literal word
00:09:04.757 --> 00:09:05.491
The literal word is stake or spike.
00:09:05.558 --> 00:09:08.260

And he's got this thing going on in his side
00:09:13.265 --> 00:09:14.900
Going on in his side that is so painful that
00:09:14.967 --> 00:09:16.235
That is so painful that he's begging god to remove it,
00:09:16.302 --> 00:09:18.404
He's begging god to remove it, and three times god said,
00:09:18.471 --> 00:09:20.206
And three times god said, "i'm not gonna remove it,
00:09:20.272 --> 00:09:21.774
"i'm not gonna remove it, my grace is sufficient for you.
00:09:21.841 --> 00:09:23.542

If you follow me when something tragic happens to your family,
00:09:32.518 --> 00:09:34.687
Tragic happens to your family, that's when people need to know
00:09:34.754 --> 00:09:37.156
That's when people need to know that what we have doesn't just
00:09:37.223 --> 00:09:38.924
That what we have doesn't just work when the sun is shining.
00:09:38.991 --> 00:09:40.960
Work when the sun is shining. it works when all hell is
00:09:41.027 --> 00:09:42.728
It works when all hell is breaking loose,
00:09:42.795 --> 00:09:44.263
Breaking loose, and even at the grave it works.
00:09:44.330 --> 00:09:46.732

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:47.967
It gives hope, it gives life,
00:09:48.034 --> 00:09:49.268
It gives life, it gives peace.

Belong to the lord. sometimes, an unseen,
00:10:04.817 --> 00:10:09.422
Sometimes, an unseen, loving purpose
00:10:09.488 --> 00:10:15.394
Loving purpose is taking place that
00:10:15.461 --> 00:10:18.764
Is taking place that we're not aware of.
00:10:18.831 --> 00:10:20.199
We're not aware of. god may hurt you,
00:10:20.266 --> 00:10:23.069
God may hurt you, but he will never harm you.
00:10:23.135 --> 00:10:27.406
But he will never harm you. what's it to you if the other
00:10:27.473 --> 00:10:28.741

Season right now? if you're in the thick

If you're in the thick of darkness,
00:10:33.212 --> 00:10:34.113
Of darkness, "follow me," jesus says.
00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:36.148
"follow me," jesus says. "i'm not gonna give
00:10:36.215 --> 00:10:36.949

Isn't that the greatest purpose for our life?
00:10:54.366 --> 00:10:55.601
Purpose for our life? to glorify god.
00:10:55.668 --> 00:10:57.403
To glorify god. to say at the end of my life,
00:10:57.470 --> 00:10:59.638
To say at the end of my life, not that i had the longest life.
00:10:59.705 --> 00:11:03.275
Not that i had the longest life. i don't want the longest life,
00:11:03.342 --> 00:11:04.977
I don't want the longest life, i want to live as long
00:11:05.044 --> 00:11:06.612
I want to live as long as i can glorify god.
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.014
As i can glorify god. and when i can't glorify god,
00:11:09.081 --> 00:11:10.916
And when i can't glorify god, i'm ready to go.
00:11:10.983 --> 00:11:14.420
I'm ready to go. that's what i exist for,
00:11:14.487 --> 00:11:16.455

You belong to the king. you are exactly who you are
00:11:27.333 --> 00:11:33.939
You are exactly who you are and that's exactly who
00:11:34.006 --> 00:11:35.207
And that's exactly who god wants you to be.
00:11:35.274 --> 00:11:37.443
God wants you to be. going through what
00:11:37.510 --> 00:11:38.377
Going through what you're going through,
00:11:38.444 --> 00:11:39.578
You're going through, get your eyes off of them
00:11:39.645 --> 00:11:42.081
Get your eyes off of them and get 'em on him.

And i'll be glorified. i'll be glorified."
00:12:06.172 --> 00:12:09.108
I'll be glorified." it's the daily grind
00:12:09.175 --> 00:12:10.442
It's the daily grind of a child on drugs.
00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:12.878
Of a child on drugs. the daily grind
00:12:12.945 --> 00:12:14.246
The daily grind of someone cheating on you.
00:12:14.313 --> 00:12:16.982
Of someone cheating on you. the daily grind of some kind
00:12:17.049 --> 00:12:19.451
The daily grind of some kind of pain that is cancer,
00:12:19.518 --> 00:12:21.720
Of pain that is cancer, and the fear of it,
00:12:21.787 --> 00:12:23.088
And the fear of it, that just is --
00:12:23.155 --> 00:12:24.056
That just is -- the dread of it.
00:12:24.123 --> 00:12:25.090
The dread of it. it's just hanging over you.
00:12:25.157 --> 00:12:26.592
It's just hanging over you. but jesus says to you,
00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:31.430
But jesus says to you, "you're my property.
00:12:31.497 --> 00:12:33.966

Getting glory when you smile, i'll keep getting glory
