When i get to heaven. he said, right here,
00:06:04.878 --> 00:06:06.113
He said, right here, right now,
00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:07.214
Right now, if my faith is in that blood
00:06:07.281 --> 00:06:09.583
If my faith is in that blood and in that body
00:06:09.650 --> 00:06:10.317
And in that body of jesus christ,
00:06:10.384 --> 00:06:11.885
Of jesus christ, i am as holy and righteous
00:06:11.952 --> 00:06:14.388
I am as holy and righteous and forgiven because
00:06:14.455 --> 00:06:15.889
And forgiven because it has nothing to do with
00:06:15.956 --> 00:06:17.991
It has nothing to do with what i bring to the picture
00:06:18.058 --> 00:06:19.693
What i bring to the picture except faith.
00:06:19.760 --> 00:06:21.028
Except faith. my faith in jesus christ says
00:06:21.094 --> 00:06:23.931
My faith in jesus christ says i am the righteousness
00:06:23.997 --> 00:06:25.532
I am the righteousness of god right now.
00:06:25.599 --> 00:06:26.967
Of god right now. and if i'm the righteousness
00:06:27.034 --> 00:06:28.001
And if i'm the righteousness of god,
00:06:28.068 --> 00:06:28.635
Of god, which the bible says,
00:06:28.702 --> 00:06:29.970
Which the bible says, i have to see myself like that
00:06:30.037 --> 00:06:32.072
I have to see myself like that so i can come boldly
00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:34.141
So i can come boldly before the throne of grace.
00:06:34.208 --> 00:06:37.244
Before the throne of grace. when you understand that,
00:06:37.311 --> 00:06:39.079
When you understand that, it can change your life.
00:06:39.146 --> 00:06:40.080
It can change your life. if you believe in your heart
00:06:40.147 --> 00:06:41.648
If you believe in your heart you're a failure,
00:06:41.715 --> 00:06:43.750
You're a failure, if you believe in your heart
00:06:43.817 --> 00:06:44.751
If you believe in your heart you can't succeed,
00:06:44.818 --> 00:06:45.652
You can't succeed, that everybody else
00:06:45.719 --> 00:06:46.620
That everybody else is better than you,
00:06:46.687 --> 00:06:48.322
Is better than you, if you believe in your heart
00:06:48.388 --> 00:06:49.857
If you believe in your heart that you don't deserve
00:06:49.923 --> 00:06:51.024
That you don't deserve what others can obtain
00:06:51.091 --> 00:06:54.795
What others can obtain through the cross,
00:06:54.862 --> 00:06:56.964
Through the cross, you've got to be able to see
00:06:57.030 --> 00:06:58.732
You've got to be able to see yourself walking in what god
00:06:58.799 --> 00:07:00.934
Yourself walking in what god says about you.
00:07:01.001 --> 00:07:05.138
Says about you. and there are obstacles
00:07:05.205 --> 00:07:06.206
And there are obstacles to that vision,
00:07:06.273 --> 00:07:07.140
To that vision, three specifically.
00:07:07.207 --> 00:07:09.977
Three specifically. he said --
00:07:10.043 --> 00:07:10.777
He said -- first of all i want you
00:07:10.844 --> 00:07:13.080
First of all i want you to understand that the vision
00:07:13.146 --> 00:07:15.249
To understand that the vision that god gives you will
00:07:15.315 --> 00:07:17.284
That god gives you will have the obstacle of present
00:07:17.351 --> 00:07:20.254
Have the obstacle of present circumstances not lining
00:07:20.320 --> 00:07:22.623
Circumstances not lining up with what god
00:07:22.689 --> 00:07:24.224
Up with what god is telling you to do.
00:07:24.291 --> 00:07:24.925
Is telling you to do. and that's why he said,
00:07:24.992 --> 00:07:26.426
And that's why he said, in the next part of the verse,
00:07:26.493 --> 00:07:28.161
In the next part of the verse, "write the vision."
00:07:28.228 --> 00:07:30.631
"write the vision." when you see what i say
00:07:30.697 --> 00:07:33.834
When you see what i say i want you to write it down.
00:07:33.901 --> 00:07:35.502
I want you to write it down. why?
00:07:35.569 --> 00:07:36.436
Why? because i want it logged into
00:07:36.503 --> 00:07:38.138
Because i want it logged into your mind what i say over what
00:07:38.205 --> 00:07:40.541
Your mind what i say over what present circumstances say.
00:07:40.607 --> 00:07:43.544
Present circumstances say. i want you to hang on to it.
00:07:43.610 --> 00:07:45.846
I want you to hang on to it. i want you to pull it
00:07:45.913 --> 00:07:47.281
I want you to pull it out of the drawer
00:07:47.347 --> 00:07:48.148
Out of the drawer and look at it again
00:07:48.215 --> 00:07:49.616
And look at it again and remind yourself i showed you
00:07:49.683 --> 00:07:52.853
And remind yourself i showed you that that family would be saved.
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.655
That that family would be saved. i told you that that business
00:07:54.721 --> 00:07:56.757
I told you that that business would be blessed.
00:07:56.823 --> 00:07:57.891
Would be blessed. i told you that
00:07:57.958 --> 00:07:59.192
I told you that i would help you.
00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:00.527
I would help you. i told you in that service,
00:08:00.594 --> 00:08:01.995
I told you in that service, i gave you --
00:08:02.062 --> 00:08:03.030
I gave you -- i said it and you saw it,
00:08:03.096 --> 00:08:04.932
I said it and you saw it, write it down because
00:08:04.998 --> 00:08:06.433
Write it down because there will come days where
00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:08.569
There will come days where tomorrow you'll have
00:08:08.635 --> 00:08:10.270
Tomorrow you'll have the opportunity to lose
00:08:10.337 --> 00:08:12.439
The opportunity to lose what god is saying
00:08:12.506 --> 00:08:13.273
What god is saying to you today because
00:08:13.340 --> 00:08:15.108
To you today because you're not seeing it
00:08:15.175 --> 00:08:16.343
You're not seeing it in the present circumstances.
00:08:16.410 --> 00:08:19.279
In the present circumstances. not only is there the challenge
00:08:19.346 --> 00:08:21.181
Not only is there the challenge of present circumstance,
00:08:21.248 --> 00:08:22.449
Of present circumstance, and more people have given up
00:08:22.516 --> 00:08:24.217
And more people have given up on their vision
00:08:24.284 --> 00:08:24.952
On their vision because of present circumstances
00:08:25.018 --> 00:08:27.754
Because of present circumstances than probably anything.
00:08:27.821 --> 00:08:29.590
Than probably anything. they let the present
00:08:29.656 --> 00:08:30.991
They let the present talk them out of it.
00:08:31.058 --> 00:08:32.492
Talk them out of it. i don't let the pre --
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:33.660
I don't let the pre -- when god tells me something,
00:08:33.727 --> 00:08:35.395
When god tells me something, i don't let the present
00:08:35.462 --> 00:08:36.830
I don't let the present circumstances talk me
00:08:36.897 --> 00:08:38.065
Circumstances talk me out of it.
00:08:38.131 --> 00:08:39.132
Out of it. hallelujah.
00:08:39.199 --> 00:08:40.000
Hallelujah. and that's how you maintain joy.
00:08:40.067 --> 00:08:42.736
And that's how you maintain joy. because you don't live by
00:08:42.803 --> 00:08:44.071
Because you don't live by what you see,
00:08:44.137 --> 00:08:45.072
What you see, you live by what god said.
00:08:45.138 --> 00:08:47.107
You live by what god said. and i just believe
00:08:47.174 --> 00:08:48.375
And i just believe that when it's all
00:08:48.442 --> 00:08:49.576
That when it's all said and done
00:08:49.643 --> 00:08:49.943
Said and done that god's gon' take it
00:08:50.010 --> 00:08:50.944
That god's gon' take it a lot like this,
00:08:51.011 --> 00:08:51.945
A lot like this, and a lot like that,
00:08:52.012 --> 00:08:52.713
And a lot like that, and a lot like this,
00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:53.347
And a lot like this, and all this,
00:08:53.413 --> 00:08:54.114
And all this, and all this,
00:08:54.181 --> 00:08:54.648
And all this, and then finally,
00:08:54.715 --> 00:08:56.617
And then finally, in his timing,
00:08:56.683 --> 00:08:57.484
In his timing, see, he will withhold
00:08:57.551 --> 00:08:59.052
See, he will withhold no good thing from them
00:08:59.119 --> 00:09:00.621
No good thing from them that walk uprightly.
00:09:00.687 --> 00:09:02.789
That walk uprightly. if god's withheld it,
00:09:02.856 --> 00:09:03.991
If god's withheld it, it wasn't good
00:09:04.057 --> 00:09:05.459
It wasn't good or it wasn't time yet.
00:09:05.525 --> 00:09:07.928
Or it wasn't time yet. and for me,
00:09:07.995 --> 00:09:08.729
And for me, when i hear him say it,
00:09:08.795 --> 00:09:10.397
When i hear him say it, i wait to see what he will say,
00:09:10.464 --> 00:09:12.699
I wait to see what he will say, and when i know that i know
00:09:12.766 --> 00:09:14.334
And when i know that i know that he's told me --
00:09:14.401 --> 00:09:16.570
That he's told me -- "my sheep know my voice,"
00:09:16.637 --> 00:09:17.571
"my sheep know my voice," he said,
00:09:17.638 --> 00:09:20.507
He said, then i get it settled.
00:09:20.574 --> 00:09:22.609
Then i get it settled. go on and act crazy,
00:09:22.676 --> 00:09:23.710
Go on and act crazy, do whatever you wanna do,
00:09:23.777 --> 00:09:25.145
Do whatever you wanna do, let all hell break loose,
00:09:25.212 --> 00:09:26.980
Let all hell break loose, but present circumstances
00:09:27.047 --> 00:09:28.949
But present circumstances don't change the promises
00:09:29.016 --> 00:09:30.450
Don't change the promises of god.
00:09:30.517 --> 00:09:30.984
[applause]
00:09:31.585 --> 00:09:37.424
The second thing is not
00:09:37.724 --> 00:09:39.026
The second thing is not just present circumstances
00:09:39.092 --> 00:09:40.560
Just present circumstances or obstacles to the vision,
00:09:40.627 --> 00:09:43.330
Or obstacles to the vision, but present resources.
00:09:43.397 --> 00:09:46.967
But present resources. i mean, this is a big one.
00:09:47.034 --> 00:09:49.069
I mean, this is a big one. you never have now
00:09:49.136 --> 00:09:52.606
You never have now what you need to get
00:09:52.673 --> 00:09:53.874
What you need to get the vision done because present
00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:57.110
The vision done because present resources don't match up
00:09:57.177 --> 00:10:00.147
Resources don't match up with where god is taking you.
00:10:00.213 --> 00:10:03.583
With where god is taking you. i never had the money to do
00:10:03.650 --> 00:10:05.285
I never had the money to do what god told me to do.
00:10:05.352 --> 00:10:09.322
What god told me to do. it's pro-vision,
00:10:09.389 --> 00:10:10.557
It's pro-vision, which means you get vision
00:10:10.624 --> 00:10:12.259
Which means you get vision and the pro comes,
00:10:12.325 --> 00:10:13.627
And the pro comes, the provision.
00:10:13.694 --> 00:10:18.432
The provision. but if you're sitting around
00:10:18.498 --> 00:10:19.466
But if you're sitting around waiting on the lottery,
00:10:19.533 --> 00:10:20.934
Waiting on the lottery, you're never gon' do anything.
00:10:21.001 --> 00:10:24.037
You're never gon' do anything. it's vision that
00:10:24.104 --> 00:10:25.172
It's vision that attracts resources.
00:10:25.238 --> 00:10:26.540
Attracts resources. there's a bible verse,
00:10:26.606 --> 00:10:27.240
There's a bible verse, and i tell this
00:10:27.307 --> 00:10:28.108
And i tell this to young preachers
00:10:28.175 --> 00:10:28.642
To young preachers all the time --
00:10:28.709 --> 00:10:29.943
All the time -- i'm telling you,
00:10:30.010 --> 00:10:31.344
I'm telling you, i read a little book one time
00:10:31.411 --> 00:10:33.013
I read a little book one time and this guy, he said this,
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.450
And this guy, he said this, he said,
00:10:36.516 --> 00:10:37.184
He said, he said,
00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:37.718
He said, "deep calls unto deep."
00:10:37.784 --> 00:10:39.019
"deep calls unto deep." that's a bible verse,
00:10:39.086 --> 00:10:39.753
That's a bible verse, "deep calls unto deep."
00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:41.988
"deep calls unto deep." in other words,
00:10:42.055 --> 00:10:42.723
In other words, there are some --
00:10:42.789 --> 00:10:43.957
There are some -- there are some resources --
00:10:44.024 --> 00:10:46.093
There are some resources -- the deep pocket resources never
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.062
The deep pocket resources never come to you until you
00:10:49.129 --> 00:10:50.197
Come to you until you get a big vision.
00:10:50.263 --> 00:10:52.833
Get a big vision. and it's not one you make up,
00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:54.134
And it's not one you make up, it's the one god gives you.
00:10:54.201 --> 00:10:57.471
It's the one god gives you. and -- but deep only
00:10:57.537 --> 00:10:58.472
And -- but deep only calls the deep.
00:10:58.538 --> 00:10:59.940
Calls the deep. some people just --
00:11:00.006 --> 00:11:02.142
Some people just -- they're not even interested
00:11:02.209 --> 00:11:03.744
They're not even interested in your vision until
00:11:03.810 --> 00:11:05.479
In your vision until it's big enough for their world
00:11:05.545 --> 00:11:07.447
It's big enough for their world and their finances.
00:11:07.514 --> 00:11:09.950
And their finances. hallelujah.
00:11:10.016 --> 00:11:11.251
Hallelujah. so, dream big.
00:11:11.318 --> 00:11:12.586
So, dream big. hallelujah.
00:11:12.652 --> 00:11:13.286
Hallelujah. 'cause you serve a god who said,
00:11:13.353 --> 00:11:14.888
'cause you serve a god who said, "i can do exceedingly,
00:11:14.955 --> 00:11:16.590
"i can do exceedingly, abundantly --"
00:11:16.656 --> 00:11:18.091
Abundantly --" i'm preaching myself
00:11:18.158 --> 00:11:19.793
I'm preaching myself happy this morning.
00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:21.027
Happy this morning. "abundantly, above all that you
00:11:21.094 --> 00:11:24.498
"abundantly, above all that you could ask or even imagine."
00:11:24.564 --> 00:11:26.933
[applause]
00:11:27.334 --> 00:11:32.239
The last one is
00:11:34.775 --> 00:11:36.610
The last one is your present self.
00:11:36.676 --> 00:11:40.914
Your present self. you see, you feel --
00:11:40.981 --> 00:11:42.649
You see, you feel -- have you ever noticed
00:11:42.716 --> 00:11:43.450
Have you ever noticed that when god gives you
00:11:43.517 --> 00:11:44.251
That when god gives you a vision you feel like,
00:11:44.317 --> 00:11:47.721
A vision you feel like, sometimes, you biggest
00:11:47.788 --> 00:11:48.688
Sometimes, you biggest obstacle is yourself?
00:11:48.755 --> 00:11:50.557
Obstacle is yourself? the devil hasn't got as much
00:11:50.624 --> 00:11:52.259
The devil hasn't got as much to do with stuff sometimes
00:11:52.325 --> 00:11:54.194
To do with stuff sometimes as your present self.
00:11:54.261 --> 00:11:57.164
As your present self. when you see what god says,
00:11:57.230 --> 00:12:00.333
When you see what god says, you will always be

Somebody better in the vision than you are right now.
00:12:05.205 --> 00:12:06.740

"i'm gonna make you into the man that can handle everything
00:12:57.991 --> 00:12:59.192

Is the day that you just built the boundaries
00:18:10.870 --> 00:18:12.705
Just built the boundaries on what i'll do.
00:18:12.772 --> 00:18:17.577
On what i'll do. because if it's all yours
00:18:17.644 --> 00:18:20.813
Because if it's all yours it doesn't really matter
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:22.048
It doesn't really matter which direction you start.
00:18:22.115 --> 00:18:28.454
Which direction you start. i love to preach like this.
00:18:28.521 --> 00:18:31.524
I love to preach like this. i wanna scream
00:18:31.591 --> 00:18:32.258
I wanna scream it at the young people.
00:18:32.325 --> 00:18:35.461
It at the young people. the only regrets i've got in
00:18:35.528 --> 00:18:36.796
The only regrets i've got in life is i didn't dream bigger.
00:18:36.863 --> 00:18:39.999
Life is i didn't dream bigger. i just believe anything
00:18:40.066 --> 00:18:41.167
I just believe anything that i could believe god
00:18:41.234 --> 00:18:43.269
That i could believe god for he could do it.
00:18:43.336 --> 00:18:44.938
For he could do it. if it's about souls,
00:18:45.004 --> 00:18:46.105
If it's about souls, if it's about helping people.
00:18:46.172 --> 00:18:47.807
If it's about helping people. see, please understand this,
00:18:47.874 --> 00:18:49.909
See, please understand this, god gave joseph a dream.
00:18:49.976 --> 00:18:51.311
God gave joseph a dream. this is the most important
00:18:51.377 --> 00:18:52.812
This is the most important thing to understand.
00:18:52.879 --> 00:18:54.113
Thing to understand. and we only hear about one dream
00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:56.149
And we only hear about one dream but god gave joseph a dream,
00:18:56.216 --> 00:18:58.785
But god gave joseph a dream, and when he gave him the dream,
00:18:58.851 --> 00:18:59.719
And when he gave him the dream, the first part of the dream --
00:18:59.786 --> 00:19:02.155
The first part of the dream -- the first dream --
00:19:02.222 --> 00:19:02.956
The first dream -- he gave him two dreams,
00:19:03.022 --> 00:19:03.690
He gave him two dreams, the first dream was
00:19:03.756 --> 00:19:05.091
The first dream was an earthly dream.
00:19:05.158 --> 00:19:07.126
An earthly dream. and he saw a field that --
00:19:07.193 --> 00:19:10.563
And he saw a field that -- in the field the harvest was
00:19:10.630 --> 00:19:12.532
In the field the harvest was bending over and bowing to it.
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.102
Bending over and bowing to it. that's an earthly dream.
00:19:16.169 --> 00:19:18.805
That's an earthly dream. and god can give you authority
00:19:18.871 --> 00:19:20.573
And god can give you authority and dominion in the earth,
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.043
And dominion in the earth, but that's not the total dream.
00:19:24.110 --> 00:19:26.679
But that's not the total dream. then the next part of the bible
00:19:26.746 --> 00:19:28.581
Then the next part of the bible said that he saw a second dream
00:19:28.648 --> 00:19:31.084
Said that he saw a second dream and he saw, watch this,
00:19:31.150 --> 00:19:32.785
And he saw, watch this, a heavenly dream.
00:19:32.852 --> 00:19:34.587
A heavenly dream. the sun, the moon,
00:19:34.654 --> 00:19:35.622
The sun, the moon, and the stars bowing down.
00:19:35.688 --> 00:19:39.225
And the stars bowing down. see, god when he gives a dream
00:19:39.292 --> 00:19:41.861
See, god when he gives a dream to somebody it has effects
00:19:41.928 --> 00:19:44.530
To somebody it has effects on earth,
00:19:44.597 --> 00:19:45.698
On earth, it will bless you,
00:19:45.765 --> 00:19:47.133
It will bless you, it will bless your children,
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.901
It will bless your children, it will bless
00:19:48.968 --> 00:19:49.502
It will bless your children's children.
00:19:49.569 --> 00:19:51.170
Your children's children. but if all you do
00:19:51.237 --> 00:19:52.505
But if all you do is get the car,
00:19:52.572 --> 00:19:53.773
Is get the car, and get the house,
00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:54.974
And get the house, and get the stuff,
00:19:55.041 --> 00:19:56.342
And get the stuff, and get the career,
00:19:56.409 --> 00:19:57.477
And get the career, and get the country club
00:19:57.543 --> 00:19:58.711
And get the country club or whatever it is that you want,
00:19:58.778 --> 00:20:00.747
Or whatever it is that you want, and you get that stuff,
00:20:00.813 --> 00:20:02.448
And you get that stuff, all you have is half a dream.
00:20:02.515 --> 00:20:05.385
All you have is half a dream. it's not until that dream is
00:20:05.451 --> 00:20:07.887
It's not until that dream is attached to the heavenly dream.
00:20:07.954 --> 00:20:10.857
Attached to the heavenly dream. do you understand that?
00:20:10.923 --> 00:20:13.092
Do you understand that? see, god will bless you
00:20:13.159 --> 00:20:14.794
See, god will bless you if you seek him first.
00:20:14.861 --> 00:20:16.696
If you seek him first. what is amazing that
00:20:16.763 --> 00:20:17.330
What is amazing that we get so wrong,
00:20:17.397 --> 00:20:18.197
We get so wrong, that people work so hard
00:20:18.264 --> 00:20:19.732
That people work so hard to get the dream:
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:20.800
To get the dream: the dream house,
00:20:20.867 --> 00:20:21.901
The dream house, the dream this.
00:20:21.968 --> 00:20:22.769
The dream this. i found that if i seek first
00:20:22.835 --> 00:20:25.605
I found that if i seek first the kingdom of god,
00:20:25.672 --> 00:20:27.173
The kingdom of god, all of these things
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.042
All of these things will be added unto me.
00:20:29.108 --> 00:20:31.077
Will be added unto me. your heavenly father knows
00:20:31.144 --> 00:20:33.413
Your heavenly father knows what you have need of.
00:20:33.479 --> 00:20:35.048
[applause]
00:20:35.481 --> 00:20:41.621
And then the last part --
00:20:41.921 --> 00:20:42.722
And then the last part -- i wanna close it.
00:20:42.789 --> 00:20:44.057
I wanna close it. the last part he said --
00:20:44.123 --> 00:20:45.525
The last part he said -- and once you see
00:20:45.591 --> 00:20:46.759
And once you see what he says,
00:20:46.826 --> 00:20:49.595
What he says, "run with the vision."
00:20:49.662 --> 00:20:53.433
"run with the vision." run with the vision.
00:20:53.499 --> 00:20:55.968
Run with the vision. do you hear me?
00:20:56.035 --> 00:20:57.036
Do you hear me? everybody say, "run
00:20:57.103 --> 00:20:57.804
Everybody say, "run with the vision."

>> that's burning on the inside, run with it.
00:21:01.941 --> 00:21:06.245
The inside, run with it. let me give you one
00:21:06.312 --> 00:21:07.013
Let me give you one last biblical example,
00:21:07.080 --> 00:21:08.214
Last biblical example, 1 kings 18,
00:21:08.281 --> 00:21:10.350
1 kings 18, the hand of the lord
00:21:10.416 --> 00:21:11.417
The hand of the lord came upon elijah.
00:21:11.484 --> 00:21:12.685
Came upon elijah. but before the hand
00:21:12.752 --> 00:21:13.619
But before the hand of the lord came on him,
00:21:13.686 --> 00:21:14.587
Of the lord came on him, you know what he did?
00:21:14.654 --> 00:21:15.755
You know what he did? he got down and he prayed

"lord, i need a word from you. i need a word from you,
00:21:18.391 --> 00:21:19.058

00:21:19.125 --> 00:21:19.926
I need a word from you." and he sent the servant,
00:21:19.992 --> 00:21:21.194
And he sent the servant, and the servant went
00:21:21.260 --> 00:21:22.261
And the servant went on a cliff and he said,
00:21:22.328 --> 00:21:23.763
On a cliff and he said, "you're praying for rain
00:21:23.830 --> 00:21:24.731
"you're praying for rain but i don't see no rain,
00:21:24.797 --> 00:21:25.832
But i don't see no rain, it's bright sunshine."
00:21:25.898 --> 00:21:28.201

00:21:30.236 --> 00:21:30.636
"no." he says, "go again."
00:21:30.703 --> 00:21:31.504
He says, "go again." he goes again.
00:21:31.571 --> 00:21:32.372
He goes again. he comes back.
00:21:32.438 --> 00:21:33.373
He comes back. see, this is the tarrying part.

Six handfuls of nothing. "you see anything?"
00:21:43.683 --> 00:21:44.250
"you see anything?" "not a thing."
00:21:44.317 --> 00:21:46.686
"not a thing." see, he's tarrying.
00:21:46.753 --> 00:21:48.054
See, he's tarrying. "though it tarries wait for it,
00:21:48.121 --> 00:21:49.689
"though it tarries wait for it, it will surely come to pass."
00:21:49.756 --> 00:21:51.457
It will surely come to pass." he knew he was seeing
00:21:51.524 --> 00:21:53.259
He knew he was seeing what he heard.
00:21:53.326 --> 00:21:54.594
What he heard. but when you get --
00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:55.728
But when you get -- when you see what he says
00:21:55.795 --> 00:21:58.364
When you see what he says that's when you run.
00:21:58.431 --> 00:22:00.867
That's when you run. and the bible said --
00:22:00.933 --> 00:22:01.567
And the bible said -- go back to that verse,
00:22:01.634 --> 00:22:03.002
