00:07:27.522 --> 00:07:32.059
He was a real estate tycoon. he owned all the land from
00:07:32.126 --> 00:07:33.895
He owned all the land from the euphrates river to gaza,
00:07:33.961 --> 00:07:37.198
The euphrates river to gaza, and from gaza all the way
00:07:37.265 --> 00:07:39.166
And from gaza all the way to the egyptian border,
00:07:39.233 --> 00:07:41.536
To the egyptian border, the supreme leader
00:07:41.602 --> 00:07:42.603
The supreme leader of israel owned it all.
00:07:42.670 --> 00:07:46.874
Of israel owned it all. so much during his wealth was
00:07:46.941 --> 00:07:50.144
So much during his wealth was there in silver that the bible
00:07:50.211 --> 00:07:52.380
There in silver that the bible said it was his common to see
00:07:52.446 --> 00:07:55.616
Said it was his common to see stacks of silver as it was
00:07:55.683 --> 00:07:58.819
Stacks of silver as it was to see stacks of rocks.
00:07:58.886 --> 00:08:01.188
To see stacks of rocks. they had to stack it up
00:08:01.255 --> 00:08:02.957
They had to stack it up and just put it anywhere
00:08:03.024 --> 00:08:04.959
And just put it anywhere they could put it
00:08:05.026 --> 00:08:05.593
They could put it all over his properties.
00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:09.196
All over his properties. when he started out and god
00:08:09.263 --> 00:08:10.831
When he started out and god spoke to him and began
00:08:10.898 --> 00:08:12.366
Spoke to him and began to bless him, he had peace.
00:08:12.433 --> 00:08:15.436
To bless him, he had peace. it's interesting, he was asleep
00:08:15.503 --> 00:08:17.271
It's interesting, he was asleep and god woke him from his sleep,
00:08:17.338 --> 00:08:18.973
And god woke him from his sleep, and he had rest.
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.842
And he had rest. he was in love with god.
00:08:21.909 --> 00:08:25.046
He was in love with god. he was serving god supremely.
00:08:25.112 --> 00:08:27.648
He was serving god supremely. wanting to build him a house,
00:08:27.715 --> 00:08:29.016
Wanting to build him a house, was all about the temple
00:08:29.083 --> 00:08:30.451
Was all about the temple of the church,
00:08:30.518 --> 00:08:31.419
Of the church, was all about the presence,
00:08:31.485 --> 00:08:33.387
Was all about the presence, the ark of the covenant,
00:08:33.454 --> 00:08:34.689
The ark of the covenant, was all about sacrifice
00:08:34.755 --> 00:08:36.190
Was all about sacrifice and serving the people.
00:08:36.257 --> 00:08:39.293
And serving the people. and the bible makes this comment
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.062
And the bible makes this comment about him in 1 kings 4:24,
00:08:41.128 --> 00:08:44.265
About him in 1 kings 4:24, "as god began to bless him,
00:08:44.332 --> 00:08:46.367
"as god began to bless him, he had great wealth,
00:08:46.434 --> 00:08:47.435
He had great wealth, favor, wisdom, and there was
00:08:47.501 --> 00:08:48.636
Favor, wisdom, and there was rest all around him.
00:08:48.703 --> 00:08:51.405
Rest all around him. peace with all," --
00:08:51.472 --> 00:08:53.207
Peace with all," -- bible said, "when a man's ways
00:08:53.274 --> 00:08:55.109
Bible said, "when a man's ways please the lord,
00:08:55.176 --> 00:08:56.010
Please the lord, he makes even his enemies
00:08:56.077 --> 00:08:58.145
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."
00:08:58.212 --> 00:08:59.413
To be at peace with him." and he had that kind of favor
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.616
And he had that kind of favor that there was nothing,
00:09:01.682 --> 00:09:02.883
That there was nothing, notice the words now,
00:09:02.950 --> 00:09:04.218
Notice the words now, rest and peace all around him.
00:09:04.285 --> 00:09:06.821
Rest and peace all around him. he's sleeping in his bed
00:09:06.887 --> 00:09:08.255
He's sleeping in his bed in his palace.
00:09:08.322 --> 00:09:09.256
In his palace. he has --
00:09:09.323 --> 00:09:10.691
He has -- he doesn't need security,
00:09:10.758 --> 00:09:12.126
He doesn't need security, god is his security.
00:09:12.193 --> 00:09:14.395
God is his security. and he is blessed and highly,
00:09:14.462 --> 00:09:16.897
And he is blessed and highly, highly, highly favored of god.
00:09:16.964 --> 00:09:19.867
Highly, highly favored of god. and then, something happens.
00:09:19.934 --> 00:09:23.371
And then, something happens. the bible said that he began
00:09:23.437 --> 00:09:26.974
The bible said that he began to marry strange women meaning
00:09:27.041 --> 00:09:34.015
To marry strange women meaning they were not of his faith,
00:09:34.081 --> 00:09:37.284
They were not of his faith, they were not of the covenant,
00:09:37.351 --> 00:09:40.321
They were not of the covenant, they worshiped idols,
00:09:40.388 --> 00:09:42.757
They worshiped idols, they worshiped -- they --
00:09:42.823 --> 00:09:45.126
They worshiped -- they -- you know, we clean that up.
00:09:45.192 --> 00:09:47.528
You know, we clean that up. they worshiped idols.
00:09:47.595 --> 00:09:49.797
They worshiped idols. if you were an idol worshiper,
00:09:49.864 --> 00:09:51.098
If you were an idol worshiper, you were a satanic worshiper
00:09:51.165 --> 00:09:52.933
You were a satanic worshiper in the bible.
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:53.668
In the bible. always remember that.
00:09:53.734 --> 00:09:54.702
Always remember that. check me out in history.
00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:56.103
Check me out in history. i'm talking
00:09:56.170 --> 00:09:56.871
I'm talking about child sacrifice.
00:09:56.937 --> 00:09:58.639
About child sacrifice. i'm talking about witchcraft.
00:09:58.706 --> 00:10:01.642
I'm talking about witchcraft. i'm talking about deep occult.
00:10:01.709 --> 00:10:05.513
I'm talking about deep occult. and he -- i just gave you
00:10:05.579 --> 00:10:07.815
And he -- i just gave you all of his assets,
00:10:07.882 --> 00:10:08.649
All of his assets, now let me tell you
00:10:08.716 --> 00:10:09.550
Now let me tell you about his liability.
00:10:09.617 --> 00:10:10.584
About his liability. he had 700 wives, 700.
00:10:10.651 --> 00:10:15.189
He had 700 wives, 700. and that's not a shade on women,
00:10:15.256 --> 00:10:17.224
And that's not a shade on women, i'm just saying one wife
00:10:17.291 --> 00:10:19.527
I'm just saying one wife is all i can handle,
00:10:19.593 --> 00:10:21.595
Is all i can handle, how can you have 700 wives?
00:10:21.662 --> 00:10:26.567
How can you have 700 wives? and then, he had
00:10:26.634 --> 00:10:27.435
And then, he had 300 girlfriends,
00:10:27.501 --> 00:10:32.273
300 girlfriends, and every one of them were
00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:33.708
And every one of them were worshiping different gods.
00:10:33.774 --> 00:10:35.443
Worshiping different gods. now, this is so important.
00:10:35.509 --> 00:10:38.079
Now, this is so important. he has everything,
00:10:38.145 --> 00:10:40.381
He has everything, all these possessions.
00:10:40.448 --> 00:10:43.217
All these possessions. and the text said that
00:10:43.284 --> 00:10:45.619
And the text said that his bed is surrounded
00:10:45.686 --> 00:10:49.824
His bed is surrounded with 60 personal bodyguards,
00:10:49.890 --> 00:10:54.061
With 60 personal bodyguards, warriors, the elite in warfare.
00:10:54.128 --> 00:10:58.566
Warriors, the elite in warfare. we're talking about trained --
00:10:58.632 --> 00:11:01.569
We're talking about trained -- think of the movie 300,
00:11:01.635 --> 00:11:04.405
Think of the movie 300, these kinds of warriors,
00:11:04.472 --> 00:11:07.041
These kinds of warriors, 60 of them.
00:11:07.108 --> 00:11:08.275
60 of them. it would have had to be
00:11:08.342 --> 00:11:10.478
It would have had to be six shoulder after
00:11:10.544 --> 00:11:11.979
Six shoulder after shoulder after shoulder,
00:11:12.046 --> 00:11:14.014
Shoulder after shoulder, layer after layer,
00:11:14.081 --> 00:11:17.118
Layer after layer, after layer completely
00:11:17.184 --> 00:11:18.085
After layer completely surrounding his bed
00:11:18.152 --> 00:11:19.420
Surrounding his bed in his bedroom.
00:11:19.487 --> 00:11:21.288
In his bedroom. one group of ten,
00:11:21.355 --> 00:11:22.790
One group of ten, another group of ten
00:11:22.857 --> 00:11:24.258
Another group of ten another group of ten,
00:11:24.325 --> 00:11:25.926
Another group of ten, layer after layer with
00:11:25.993 --> 00:11:27.728
Layer after layer with their swords on their thigh,
00:11:27.795 --> 00:11:30.397
Their swords on their thigh, ready to kill,
00:11:30.464 --> 00:11:32.299
Ready to kill, to fight till the death.
00:11:32.366 --> 00:11:33.868
To fight till the death. trained all of their life like
00:11:33.934 --> 00:11:35.903
Trained all of their life like the greek warriors used to be.
00:11:35.970 --> 00:11:38.139
The greek warriors used to be. they came up as a little child,
00:11:38.205 --> 00:11:40.174
They came up as a little child, being taken and trained
00:11:40.241 --> 00:11:42.143
Being taken and trained to fight and defend
00:11:42.209 --> 00:11:44.912
To fight and defend and he's so tormented.
00:11:44.979 --> 00:11:47.748
And he's so tormented. why?
00:11:47.815 --> 00:11:48.249
Why? why does he have to have
00:11:48.315 --> 00:11:49.416
Why does he have to have that kind of security?
00:11:49.483 --> 00:11:51.585
That kind of security? he's so tormented.
00:11:51.652 --> 00:11:53.954
He's so tormented. he so turned himself over
00:11:54.021 --> 00:11:56.891
He so turned himself over that the enemy has released
00:11:56.957 --> 00:11:58.659
That the enemy has released a spirit of fear.
00:11:58.726 --> 00:11:59.827
A spirit of fear. as a matter of fact,
00:11:59.894 --> 00:12:00.494
As a matter of fact, i gotta read this verse.
00:12:00.561 --> 00:12:01.428
I gotta read this verse. 1 kings 11:14,
00:12:01.495 --> 00:12:03.898
1 kings 11:14, "because he did this thing,"
00:12:03.964 --> 00:12:05.533
"because he did this thing," because he married outside
00:12:05.599 --> 00:12:07.935
Because he married outside of the faith and began
00:12:08.002 --> 00:12:09.503
Of the faith and began to be pulled into
00:12:09.570 --> 00:12:11.105
To be pulled into idolatry and witchcraft,
00:12:11.172 --> 00:12:13.440
Idolatry and witchcraft, which is rebellion,
00:12:13.507 --> 00:12:15.376
Which is rebellion, "the lord stirred up
00:12:15.442 --> 00:12:17.178
"the lord stirred up an adversary unto solomon."
00:12:17.244 --> 00:12:22.483
An adversary unto solomon." and that was a tormenting spirit
00:12:22.550 --> 00:12:24.952
And that was a tormenting spirit that took all of his rest,
00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:27.655
That took all of his rest, that took all of his peace.
00:12:27.721 --> 00:12:29.757
That took all of his peace. he was terrified that
00:12:29.824 --> 00:12:32.526
He was terrified that he needed more and more
00:12:32.593 --> 00:12:35.329
He needed more and more and more security from man.
00:12:35.396 --> 00:12:41.335
And more security from man. there's no security
00:12:41.402 --> 00:12:43.037
There's no security in material things.
00:12:43.103 --> 00:12:44.839
In material things. i don't care how much you have,
00:12:44.905 --> 00:12:47.041
I don't care how much you have, there's no security,
00:12:47.107 --> 00:12:48.742
There's no security, there's no peace,
00:12:48.809 --> 00:12:50.544
There's no peace, there's no real rest.
00:12:50.611 --> 00:12:52.813
There's no real rest. "oh, if i could
00:12:52.880 --> 00:12:53.380
"oh, if i could just get that house,
00:12:53.447 --> 00:12:54.315
Just get that house, if i could just get that car."
00:12:54.381 --> 00:12:55.850
If i could just get that car." there's nothing wrong.
00:12:55.916 --> 00:12:57.284
There's nothing wrong. the bible said,
00:12:57.351 --> 00:12:57.918
The bible said, god loves to bless us,
00:12:57.985 --> 00:12:59.620
God loves to bless us, and he joys in the prosperity
00:12:59.687 --> 00:13:01.889
And he joys in the prosperity of his children.
00:13:01.956 --> 00:13:02.857
Of his children. but if it ever becomes
00:13:02.923 --> 00:13:04.925
But if it ever becomes about other gods and not
00:13:04.992 --> 00:13:06.894
About other gods and not the one god, jesus christ,
00:13:06.961 --> 00:13:09.830
The one god, jesus christ, then you don't understand
00:13:09.897 --> 00:13:12.766
Then you don't understand what you're playing with,
00:13:12.833 --> 00:13:14.401
What you're playing with, it's dangerous.
00:13:14.468 --> 00:13:16.170
It's dangerous. "for a man's life," jesus said,
00:13:16.237 --> 00:13:18.405
"for a man's life," jesus said, "does not consist
00:13:18.472 --> 00:13:19.707
"does not consist of the abundance of things."
00:13:19.773 --> 00:13:21.609
Of the abundance of things." you will not find life
00:13:21.675 --> 00:13:23.210
You will not find life in material things.
00:13:23.277 --> 00:13:24.945
In material things. you can have it temporarily
00:13:25.012 --> 00:13:27.348
You can have it temporarily and it'll have
00:13:27.414 --> 00:13:27.848
And it'll have a little bit of pleasure,
00:13:27.915 --> 00:13:28.816
A little bit of pleasure, but it will leave you empty
00:13:28.883 --> 00:13:30.818
But it will leave you empty as his words said vanity.
00:13:30.885 --> 00:13:36.223
As his words said vanity. "for god has not," 1 timothy 1,
00:13:36.290 --> 00:13:39.226
"for god has not," 1 timothy 1, "for god has not given us
00:13:39.293 --> 00:13:41.562
"for god has not given us a spirit of fear,
00:13:41.629 --> 00:13:42.963
A spirit of fear, but of power, and of love,
00:13:43.030 --> 00:13:45.466
But of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
00:13:45.532 --> 00:13:46.700
And of a sound mind." and when you give yourself
00:13:46.767 --> 00:13:48.168
And when you give yourself over to witchcraft and all
00:13:48.235 --> 00:13:50.004
Over to witchcraft and all of those kinds of things,
00:13:50.070 --> 00:13:51.205
Of those kinds of things, and even idols of this world,
00:13:51.272 --> 00:13:54.241
And even idols of this world, you lose your peace,
00:13:54.308 --> 00:13:56.176
You lose your peace, and you lose your rest,
00:13:56.243 --> 00:13:57.211
And you lose your rest, you lose your security.
00:13:57.278 --> 00:14:00.047
You lose your security. i don't ta --
00:14:00.114 --> 00:14:02.049
I don't ta -- i'm not talking about
00:14:02.116 --> 00:14:02.816
I'm not talking about just physical security.
00:14:02.883 --> 00:14:04.385
Just physical security. i have spiritual security.
00:14:04.451 --> 00:14:07.187
I have spiritual security. i know who i am in jesus christ.
00:14:07.254 --> 00:14:11.458
I know who i am in jesus christ. i know where i'm going.
00:14:11.525 --> 00:14:13.093
I know where i'm going. i am not insecure.
00:14:13.160 --> 00:14:14.862
I am not insecure. i am eternally secure.
00:14:14.929 --> 00:14:17.398
I am eternally secure. i'm not eternally insecure.
00:14:17.464 --> 00:14:20.301
I'm not eternally insecure. i am secure.
00:14:20.367 --> 00:14:22.336
I am secure. i know that i have
00:14:22.403 --> 00:14:23.704
I know that i have my past forgiven.
00:14:23.771 --> 00:14:25.839
My past forgiven. i have a reason for living,
00:14:25.906 --> 00:14:28.409
I have a reason for living, and i have a future in heaven,
00:14:28.475 --> 00:14:33.180
And i have a future in heaven, and i'm securing that.
00:14:33.247 --> 00:14:35.082
And i'm securing that. i lay down my head and i know
00:14:35.149 --> 00:14:37.785
I lay down my head and i know if i take my last breath
00:14:37.851 --> 00:14:39.553
If i take my last breath while i lay on this pillow,
00:14:39.620 --> 00:14:42.623
While i lay on this pillow, it is well, it is well,
00:14:42.690 --> 00:14:44.625
It is well, it is well, it is well with my soul.
00:14:44.692 --> 00:14:46.927
It is well with my soul. you know, you ought
00:14:46.994 --> 00:14:47.561
You know, you ought to shout over that.
00:14:47.628 --> 00:14:48.395
To shout over that. the bible didn't say,
00:14:48.462 --> 00:14:49.430
The bible didn't say, "rejoice if you
00:14:49.496 --> 00:14:50.164
"rejoice if you can cast out demons."
00:14:50.230 --> 00:14:51.565
Can cast out demons." it said, "rejoice if your name
00:14:51.632 --> 00:14:54.802
It said, "rejoice if your name is written in the book of life."
00:14:54.868 --> 00:14:56.603
Is written in the book of life." so, we're gon' take a break,
00:14:56.670 --> 00:14:57.905
So, we're gon' take a break, and we're not going another
00:14:57.972 --> 00:14:58.906
And we're not going another step forward till we just
00:14:58.973 --> 00:15:01.141
Step forward till we just shout over the fact...
00:15:01.208 --> 00:15:02.543
[cheering and applause]
00:15:02.876 --> 00:15:04.445
That you got more security
00:15:04.878 --> 00:15:06.680
That you got more security than 60 bodyguards.
00:15:06.747 --> 00:15:08.749
Than 60 bodyguards. he's got you and your family
00:15:08.816 --> 00:15:10.617
He's got you and your family in his hand, and he said
00:15:10.684 --> 00:15:12.386
In his hand, and he said no demon can pluck you out.
00:15:12.453 --> 00:15:14.188
[applause]
00:15:14.521 --> 00:15:17.024
Thank you, lord.
00:15:17.791 --> 00:15:19.827
Thank you, lord. there's no peace in possessions
00:15:19.893 --> 00:15:21.228
There's no peace in possessions without jesus christ.
00:15:21.295 --> 00:15:25.099
Without jesus christ. and the problem was not
00:15:25.165 --> 00:15:26.100
And the problem was not a monster under the bed,
00:15:26.166 --> 00:15:27.735
A monster under the bed, the problem was
00:15:27.801 --> 00:15:28.869
The problem was the monster in the bed,
00:15:28.936 --> 00:15:32.039
The monster in the bed, who is running from god.
00:15:32.106 --> 00:15:33.774
Who is running from god. this is so interesting.
00:15:33.841 --> 00:15:35.943
This is so interesting. the bed was not the one
00:15:36.010 --> 00:15:37.578
The bed was not the one in the palace, the bed,
00:15:37.644 --> 00:15:39.646
In the palace, the bed, according to the scholars,
00:15:39.713 --> 00:15:41.348
According to the scholars, the bed they're referring to
00:15:41.415 --> 00:15:43.183
The bed they're referring to is the one that he used
00:15:43.250 --> 00:15:44.184
Is the one that he used to travel with.
00:15:44.251 --> 00:15:45.919
To travel with. he had an entourage,
00:15:45.986 --> 00:15:47.755
He had an entourage, and they would go before him.
00:15:47.821 --> 00:15:48.956
And they would go before him. and all the stuff, his food,
00:15:49.023 --> 00:15:50.557
And all the stuff, his food, his clothes, his wardrobes,
00:15:50.624 --> 00:15:52.526
His clothes, his wardrobes, they would all go on
00:15:52.593 --> 00:15:53.327
They would all go on on entourage of guards
00:15:53.394 --> 00:15:55.095
On entourage of guards and elite group of soldiers.
00:15:55.162 --> 00:15:58.332
And elite group of soldiers. and in that was this bed,
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.537
And in that was this bed, and it was on wheels,
00:16:03.604 --> 00:16:05.039
And it was on wheels, and it was being pulled by
00:16:05.105 --> 00:16:06.407
And it was being pulled by his beautiful horses.
00:16:06.473 --> 00:16:09.710
His beautiful horses. the point is, he thought,
00:16:09.777 --> 00:16:12.179
The point is, he thought, "if i can't sleep at home,
00:16:12.246 --> 00:16:12.913
"if i can't sleep at home, then i'll start traveling,
00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:14.648
Then i'll start traveling, and i'll go here,
00:16:14.715 --> 00:16:15.549
And i'll go here, and i'll go there,
00:16:15.616 --> 00:16:16.784
And i'll go there, and i can rest."
00:16:16.850 --> 00:16:19.019
And i can rest." you can't have
00:16:19.086 --> 00:16:19.653
You can't have the peace of god until
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.822
The peace of god until you have peace with god.
00:16:21.889 --> 00:16:24.191
You have peace with god. and you need to quit blaming
00:16:24.258 --> 00:16:25.292
And you need to quit blaming everybody for the reason
00:16:25.359 --> 00:16:26.860
Everybody for the reason you don't have peace
00:16:26.927 --> 00:16:28.796
You don't have peace in your own life,
00:16:28.862 --> 00:16:29.730
In your own life, and you don't have rest
00:16:29.797 --> 00:16:31.465
And you don't have rest in your own life.
00:16:31.532 --> 00:16:32.966
In your own life. it maybe you can't have
00:16:33.033 --> 00:16:34.568
It maybe you can't have the peace of god until
00:16:34.635 --> 00:16:36.303
The peace of god until you get peace with god,
00:16:36.370 --> 00:16:38.472
You get peace with god, and you repent,
00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:39.606
And you repent, and you cry out to him,
00:16:39.673 --> 00:16:41.275
And you cry out to him, and he washes you,
00:16:41.341 --> 00:16:42.376
And he washes you, and he cleanses you,
00:16:42.443 --> 00:16:43.377
And he cleanses you, and he breaks the spirit
00:16:43.444 --> 00:16:45.145
And he breaks the spirit of fear off of your mind.
00:16:45.212 --> 00:16:50.617
Of fear off of your mind. the man is living on the run
00:16:50.684 --> 00:16:51.919
The man is living on the run for the fear of the night,
00:16:51.985 --> 00:16:54.621
For the fear of the night, crippled by paralyzing fear.
00:16:54.688 --> 00:16:59.860
Crippled by paralyzing fear. he's peace poor and money rich.
00:16:59.927 --> 00:17:07.367
He's peace poor and money rich. i had rather be peace wealthy
00:17:07.434 --> 00:17:18.512
I had rather be peace wealthy than prosperity wealthy.
00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:24.618
Than prosperity wealthy. i had rather be peace blessed
00:17:24.685 --> 00:17:30.791
I had rather be peace blessed than i had material blessing.
00:17:30.858 --> 00:17:36.697
Than i had material blessing. the crazy thing is
00:17:36.763 --> 00:17:37.564
The crazy thing is when you put jesus first,
00:17:37.631 --> 00:17:40.701
When you put jesus first, when your priority
00:17:40.767 --> 00:17:41.535
When your priority is the prince of peace,
00:17:41.602 --> 00:17:42.603
Is the prince of peace, jesus christ,
00:17:42.669 --> 00:17:43.737
Jesus christ, when you seek first
00:17:43.804 --> 00:17:45.672
When you seek first the kingdom of god,
00:17:45.739 --> 00:17:47.774
The kingdom of god, that's when he takes you
00:17:47.841 --> 00:17:51.345
That's when he takes you into things and blesses you,
00:17:51.411 --> 00:17:53.413
Into things and blesses you, and helps you when
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:54.748
And helps you when you obey his word, and,
00:17:54.815 --> 00:17:57.518
You obey his word, and, "my god shall supply
00:17:57.584 --> 00:17:59.753
"my god shall supply all your needs according
00:17:59.820 --> 00:18:02.956
All your needs according to his riches in glory
00:18:03.023 --> 00:18:05.459
To his riches in glory through christ jesus."
00:18:05.526 --> 00:18:06.593
[applause]
00:18:06.994 --> 00:18:10.397
Peace poor is worse
00:18:11.165 --> 00:18:13.066
Peace poor is worse than prosperity poor.
00:18:13.133 --> 00:18:19.640
Than prosperity poor. if you're tired
00:18:19.706 --> 00:18:20.240
If you're tired of living on the run,
00:18:20.307 --> 00:18:23.644
Of living on the run, if you're tired of anxiety,
00:18:23.710 --> 00:18:31.251
If you're tired of anxiety, see him at the end of his life,
00:18:31.318 --> 00:18:33.687
See him at the end of his life, bodyguards, cut off
00:18:33.754 --> 00:18:36.890
Bodyguards, cut off from everybody, can't go,
00:18:36.957 --> 00:18:40.060
From everybody, can't go, can't have normal relationships.
00:18:40.127 --> 00:18:44.364
Can't have normal relationships. he's like, those of you
00:18:44.431 --> 00:18:47.534
He's like, those of you of my generation, howard hughes.
00:18:47.601 --> 00:18:51.772
Of my generation, howard hughes. that's what the enemy does.
00:18:51.838 --> 00:18:52.773
That's what the enemy does. he just seals us off because
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.509
He just seals us off because we're trying to get security
00:18:55.576 --> 00:18:57.844
We're trying to get security from other things than jesus,
00:18:57.911 --> 00:19:02.082
From other things than jesus, and you can't find peace
00:19:02.149 --> 00:19:04.551
And you can't find peace and you can't rest.
00:19:04.618 --> 00:19:07.487
And you can't rest. and i'm telling you,
00:19:07.554 --> 00:19:09.089
And i'm telling you, the lord told me to proclaim
00:19:09.156 --> 00:19:10.958
The lord told me to proclaim this over the people that

This over the people that would hear me today.
00:19:12.926 --> 00:19:14.027
Would hear me today. you may be watching me
00:19:14.094 --> 00:19:14.761
You may be watching me in a mansion somewhere,
00:19:14.828 --> 00:19:19.733
In a mansion somewhere, and you're peace poor.
00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:21.134
And you're peace poor. you got everything that life
00:19:21.201 --> 00:19:23.770
You got everything that life is supposed to make you really,
00:19:23.837 --> 00:19:26.340
Is supposed to make you really, really a big deal but inside,
00:19:26.406 --> 00:19:32.446
Really a big deal but inside, you're peace poor because
00:19:32.512 --> 00:19:34.982
You're peace poor because you don't have jesus.
00:19:35.048 --> 00:19:38.852
You don't have jesus. he is the greatest treasure.
00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:45.325
He is the greatest treasure. and what you're looking for
00:19:45.392 --> 00:19:47.828
And what you're looking for can only be found in him.
00:19:47.894 --> 00:19:53.033
Can only be found in him. what you're looking for has been
00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:57.337
What you're looking for has been looking for you a long time.

Looking for you a long time. and this is what i felt,
00:20:01.341 --> 00:20:03.010
And this is what i felt, that anxiety, and fear,
00:20:03.076 --> 00:20:05.812
That anxiety, and fear, and panic, i just see him.

And panic, i just see him. he said, "behold his bed."

I want you to see this man every night.

He crawls up in that bed with 60 armed security around him,
00:20:14.254 --> 00:20:19.660
60 armed security around him, and he's just laying there
00:20:19.726 --> 00:20:22.062
And he's just laying there in torment of fear, and panic.
00:20:22.129 --> 00:20:25.198
In torment of fear, and panic. "what's gonna happen?
00:20:25.265 --> 00:20:26.033
"what's gonna happen? what's gonna happen?
00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:26.867
What's gonna happen? what's the future gonna bring?"
00:20:26.933 --> 00:20:32.839
What's the future gonna bring?" 1 john 4 said, "perfect love
00:20:32.906 --> 00:20:35.442
1 john 4 said, "perfect love casts out all fear."
00:20:35.509 --> 00:20:38.612
Casts out all fear." perfect love is jesus christ
00:20:38.679 --> 00:20:40.547
Perfect love is jesus christ on a cross bleeding, and dying,
00:20:40.614 --> 00:20:42.482
On a cross bleeding, and dying, taking your sins and saying,
00:20:42.549 --> 00:20:44.518
Taking your sins and saying, "i'll take all the shame,
00:20:44.584 --> 00:20:45.852
"i'll take all the shame, and all the condemnation,
00:20:45.919 --> 00:20:47.154
And all the condemnation, and i'll take the dark night
00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:49.122
And i'll take the dark night of their life.
00:20:49.189 --> 00:20:49.990
Of their life. i am the light of the world,
00:20:50.057 --> 00:20:51.658
I am the light of the world, and i'll trade it for light."
00:20:51.725 --> 00:20:58.832
And i'll trade it for light." and if fear has tormented you,
