One verse of scripture, mark chapter 11, verse two.
00:00:31.778 --> 00:00:35.181
Mark chapter 11, verse two. "and jesus said unto them,
00:00:35.248 --> 00:00:37.484
"and jesus said unto them, 'go your way into
00:00:37.550 --> 00:00:38.651
'go your way into the village over against you.'"
00:00:38.718 --> 00:00:42.889
The village over against you.'" it's an interesting little line.
00:00:42.956 --> 00:00:44.624
It's an interesting little line. and i know i'm doing
00:00:44.691 --> 00:00:45.792
And i know i'm doing a play on words,
00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:46.659
A play on words, but that's exactly what
00:00:46.726 --> 00:00:47.760
But that's exactly what the king james version
00:00:47.827 --> 00:00:49.229
The king james version of the bible says.
00:00:49.295 --> 00:00:51.397
Of the bible says. the oldest translation would be
00:00:51.464 --> 00:00:53.900
The oldest translation would be the king james into english,
00:00:53.967 --> 00:00:57.837
The king james into english, "go your way into the village
00:00:57.904 --> 00:01:00.807
"go your way into the village over against you.
00:01:00.874 --> 00:01:02.442
Over against you. and as soon as
00:01:02.509 --> 00:01:03.276
And as soon as you're entered into it,
00:01:03.343 --> 00:01:04.244
You're entered into it, you'll find a colt tied
00:01:04.310 --> 00:01:06.679
You'll find a colt tied wherein never a man sat.
00:01:06.746 --> 00:01:08.882
Wherein never a man sat. loosen and bring him."
00:01:08.948 --> 00:01:13.786
Loosen and bring him." i want you to notice that verse,
00:01:13.853 --> 00:01:15.822
I want you to notice that verse, it was the instruction of jesus
00:01:15.889 --> 00:01:17.924
It was the instruction of jesus to his disciples.
00:01:17.991 --> 00:01:20.193
To his disciples. they were moving up from
00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:24.297
They were moving up from the southern part of israel,
00:01:24.364 --> 00:01:28.067
The southern part of israel, leaving galilee,
00:01:28.134 --> 00:01:29.369
Leaving galilee, leaving capernaum,
00:01:29.435 --> 00:01:31.337
Leaving capernaum, going straight up to jerusalem.
00:01:31.404 --> 00:01:33.873
Going straight up to jerusalem. it was time for
00:01:33.940 --> 00:01:34.807
It was time for the feast of passover.
00:01:34.874 --> 00:01:37.877
The feast of passover. they were headed to jerusalem.
00:01:37.944 --> 00:01:40.480
They were headed to jerusalem. and this village was so small,
00:01:40.547 --> 00:01:43.116
And this village was so small, we're not told anything
00:01:43.183 --> 00:01:44.984
We're not told anything about it.
00:01:45.051 --> 00:01:46.186
About it. we're not given its specific
00:01:46.252 --> 00:01:47.620
We're not given its specific geographical location
00:01:47.687 --> 00:01:49.289
Geographical location or name in the text.
00:01:49.355 --> 00:01:51.491
Or name in the text. we're only told that jesus
00:01:51.558 --> 00:01:53.893
We're only told that jesus sent his disciples into
00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:57.197
Sent his disciples into the next village that,
00:01:57.263 --> 00:02:00.200
The next village that, i like the wording of it,
00:02:00.266 --> 00:02:01.334
I like the wording of it, that was against them.
00:02:01.401 --> 00:02:05.305
That was against them. so, the only name that
00:02:05.371 --> 00:02:06.206
So, the only name that we have of this little
00:02:06.272 --> 00:02:07.507
We have of this little village was against.
00:02:07.574 --> 00:02:10.577
Village was against. sometimes jesus will
00:02:10.643 --> 00:02:11.844
Sometimes jesus will send you into places
00:02:11.911 --> 00:02:13.646
Send you into places and into circumstances,
00:02:13.713 --> 00:02:15.582
And into circumstances, and into situations that
00:02:15.648 --> 00:02:18.151
And into situations that will be against you.
00:02:18.218 --> 00:02:21.154
Will be against you. and the devil didn't
00:02:21.221 --> 00:02:21.888
And the devil didn't send you into it.
00:02:21.955 --> 00:02:23.823
Send you into it. the devil may love to kill,
00:02:23.890 --> 00:02:26.092
The devil may love to kill, steal, and destroy through some
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.594
Steal, and destroy through some of the things that we end up in.
00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:31.264
Of the things that we end up in. but god allowed in his
00:02:31.331 --> 00:02:33.299
But god allowed in his sovereignty for his disciples
00:02:33.366 --> 00:02:35.969
Sovereignty for his disciples to go into a place
00:02:36.035 --> 00:02:37.971
To go into a place called against.
00:02:38.037 --> 00:02:41.441
Called against. the word against means opposed.
00:02:41.507 --> 00:02:44.711
The word against means opposed. the word against
00:02:44.777 --> 00:02:46.012
The word against means resistance.
00:02:46.079 --> 00:02:47.847
Means resistance. the word against
00:02:47.914 --> 00:02:48.648
The word against means that something is,
00:02:48.715 --> 00:02:51.684
Means that something is, you're in a fight,
00:02:51.751 --> 00:02:52.685
You're in a fight, this is against me.
00:02:52.752 --> 00:02:56.990
This is against me. sometimes god will send you
00:02:57.056 --> 00:02:58.558
Sometimes god will send you into a season called against.
00:02:58.625 --> 00:03:01.995
Into a season called against. it just feels like everything's
00:03:02.061 --> 00:03:03.196
It just feels like everything's working against you.
00:03:03.263 --> 00:03:04.731
Working against you. everything that used
00:03:04.797 --> 00:03:05.865
Everything that used to work is not working.
00:03:05.932 --> 00:03:07.233
To work is not working. and it's not one problem,
00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:08.568
And it's not one problem, but it's multiple
00:03:08.635 --> 00:03:09.402
But it's multiple problems sometimes,
00:03:09.469 --> 00:03:10.937
Problems sometimes, and you're just in
00:03:11.004 --> 00:03:11.638
And you're just in a season of against,
00:03:11.704 --> 00:03:12.905
A season of against, a place called against.
00:03:12.972 --> 00:03:15.375
A place called against. he said i want you disciples
00:03:15.441 --> 00:03:16.976
He said i want you disciples because i always love to put
00:03:17.043 --> 00:03:18.778
Because i always love to put my people in...
00:03:18.845 --> 00:03:20.947
My people in... i order them,
00:03:21.014 --> 00:03:22.382
I order them, i give the directions.
00:03:22.448 --> 00:03:24.617
I give the directions. go into against.
00:03:24.684 --> 00:03:28.121
Go into against. daniel, go into the lion's den,
00:03:28.187 --> 00:03:32.358
Daniel, go into the lion's den, and those lions will not
00:03:32.425 --> 00:03:33.593
And those lions will not be a petting zoo,
00:03:33.660 --> 00:03:35.228
Be a petting zoo, they will be against you.
00:03:35.295 --> 00:03:37.864
They will be against you. but when you're surrounded
00:03:37.930 --> 00:03:39.899
But when you're surrounded with what's against you,
00:03:39.966 --> 00:03:41.334
With what's against you, you need to know that
00:03:41.401 --> 00:03:42.502
You need to know that i am for you.
00:03:42.568 --> 00:03:44.337
I am for you. and when you get in it,
00:03:44.404 --> 00:03:46.172
And when you get in it, i'll be with you.
00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:48.341
I'll be with you. and shadrach, meshach,
00:03:48.408 --> 00:03:50.310
And abednego, i'm sending you
00:03:50.410 --> 00:03:52.278
And abednego, i'm sending you into a fiery furnace that is
00:03:52.345 --> 00:03:54.514
Into a fiery furnace that is heated up seven times hotter.
00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:58.117
Heated up seven times hotter. and i want you to understand
00:03:58.184 --> 00:03:59.552
And i want you to understand that i am allowing you
00:03:59.619 --> 00:04:02.455
That i am allowing you to go into a place that
00:04:02.522 --> 00:04:04.757
To go into a place that is against you.
00:04:04.824 --> 00:04:06.259
Is against you. they'll throw you into the fire.
00:04:06.326 --> 00:04:08.995
And we preachers, we say that
00:04:09.095 --> 00:04:12.332
And we preachers, we say that they were dancing with
00:04:12.398 --> 00:04:15.068
They were dancing with the fourth man in the fire
00:04:15.134 --> 00:04:16.836
The fourth man in the fire because you know the story,
00:04:16.903 --> 00:04:17.770
Because you know the story, when they got in there,
00:04:17.837 --> 00:04:19.639
When they got in there, the fire didn't burn them,
00:04:19.706 --> 00:04:20.840
The fire didn't burn them, neither was there
00:04:20.907 --> 00:04:21.541
Neither was there the smell of smoke.
00:04:21.607 --> 00:04:22.375
The smell of smoke. but the scripture
00:04:22.442 --> 00:04:23.343
But the scripture said that no one,
00:04:23.409 --> 00:04:26.145
Said that no one, i couldn't find anywhere
00:04:26.212 --> 00:04:27.347
I couldn't find anywhere where shadrach, meshach,
00:04:27.413 --> 00:04:29.115
Where shadrach, meshach, and abednego ever saw
00:04:29.182 --> 00:04:31.150
And abednego ever saw the fourth man in the fire
00:04:31.217 --> 00:04:32.719
The fourth man in the fire when they were in the fire.
00:04:32.785 --> 00:04:35.221
When they were in the fire. the bible said the king looked
00:04:35.288 --> 00:04:37.056
The bible said the king looked in at some of god's servants
00:04:37.123 --> 00:04:40.426
In at some of god's servants going through a fiery furnace.
00:04:40.493 --> 00:04:43.162
Going through a fiery furnace. and when the ungodly king
00:04:43.229 --> 00:04:45.531
And when the ungodly king looked in, he said,
00:04:45.598 --> 00:04:47.934
Looked in, he said, "i'm looking through
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:48.568
"i'm looking through my binoculars,"
00:04:48.634 --> 00:04:49.435
My binoculars," i'm preaching it
00:04:49.502 --> 00:04:50.169
I'm preaching it like i want to,
00:04:50.236 --> 00:04:51.070
Like i want to, and he's looking and he says,
00:04:51.137 --> 00:04:52.772
And he's looking and he says, "i know i put three in the fire
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:56.242
"i know i put three in the fire that were bound and i see
00:04:56.309 --> 00:04:57.944
That were bound and i see 1, 2, 3, 4 loosed."
00:04:58.010 --> 00:05:03.349
1, 2, 3, 4 loosed." but they never saw him.
00:05:03.416 --> 00:05:04.951
But they never saw him. we're never told shadrach,
00:05:05.017 --> 00:05:06.319
We're never told shadrach, meshach, and abednego saw
00:05:06.386 --> 00:05:08.921
Meshach, and abednego saw the fourth man,
00:05:08.988 --> 00:05:10.022
The fourth man, because sometimes you
00:05:10.089 --> 00:05:11.224
Because sometimes you can be going through
00:05:11.290 --> 00:05:12.291
Can be going through the fiery furnace in the place
00:05:12.358 --> 00:05:13.960
The fiery furnace in the place of against and you don't feel
00:05:14.026 --> 00:05:16.362
Of against and you don't feel god and you don't see god,
00:05:16.429 --> 00:05:18.331
God and you don't see god, but the fourth man
00:05:18.398 --> 00:05:19.232
But the fourth man is in the fire.
00:05:19.298 --> 00:05:20.967
Is in the fire. three plus fire equals four.
00:05:21.033 --> 00:05:26.172
Three plus fire equals four. and the fourth man, you can't
00:05:26.239 --> 00:05:27.907
And the fourth man, you can't get to him sometimes until
00:05:27.974 --> 00:05:29.475
Get to him sometimes until you go through the fire.
00:05:29.542 --> 00:05:32.044
You go through the fire. and whatever you went in bound
00:05:32.111 --> 00:05:33.646
And whatever you went in bound by is going to be loosed.
00:05:33.713 --> 00:05:36.048
By is going to be loosed. all the fire's going to burn up
00:05:36.115 --> 00:05:37.984
All the fire's going to burn up what's been binding you.
00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:39.952
What's been binding you. because there's blessings,
00:05:40.019 --> 00:05:41.621
Because there's blessings, there's blessings in that place
00:05:41.687 --> 00:05:44.624
There's blessings in that place that's called against.
00:05:44.690 --> 00:05:47.160
That's called against. it's tough.
00:05:47.226 --> 00:05:48.060
It's tough. it's hard.
00:05:48.127 --> 00:05:49.796
It's hard. one time jesus told
00:05:49.862 --> 00:05:50.797
One time jesus told his disciples to get into
00:05:50.863 --> 00:05:52.198
His disciples to get into the boat and go out into
00:05:52.265 --> 00:05:54.734
The boat and go out into the ocean and he knew,
00:05:54.801 --> 00:05:56.302
The ocean and he knew, or go out into
00:05:56.369 --> 00:05:57.270
Or go out into the sea of galilee,
00:05:57.336 --> 00:05:58.371
The sea of galilee, and he knew that as
00:05:58.438 --> 00:06:00.106
And he knew that as they were crossing that
00:06:00.173 --> 00:06:01.107
They were crossing that massive lake that they
00:06:01.174 --> 00:06:02.175
Massive lake that they would encounter a storm.
00:06:02.241 --> 00:06:05.678
Would encounter a storm. it's where you feel
00:06:05.745 --> 00:06:06.646
It's where you feel everything's against you.
00:06:06.712 --> 00:06:08.614
Everything's against you. you know that jesus
00:06:08.681 --> 00:06:10.016
You know that jesus told you to do it,
00:06:10.082 --> 00:06:11.050
Told you to do it, but everything is opposing you
00:06:11.117 --> 00:06:14.687
But everything is opposing you and trying to stop you.
00:06:14.754 --> 00:06:16.889
And trying to stop you. jesus wanted his disciples
00:06:16.956 --> 00:06:18.491
Jesus wanted his disciples to learn a valuable lesson
00:06:18.558 --> 00:06:20.526
To learn a valuable lesson that when god allows you
00:06:20.593 --> 00:06:22.495
That when god allows you to go through things,
00:06:22.562 --> 00:06:23.396
To go through things, and this is what
00:06:23.463 --> 00:06:24.096
And this is what i'm preaching on,
00:06:24.163 --> 00:06:24.964
I'm preaching on, when everything is against you,
00:06:25.031 --> 00:06:26.699
When everything is against you, god is for you.
00:06:26.766 --> 00:06:28.367
God is for you. and i'm going to prove that
00:06:28.434 --> 00:06:29.135
And i'm going to prove that to you through the scripture
00:06:29.202 --> 00:06:30.603
To you through the scripture in just a moment.
00:06:30.670 --> 00:06:31.971
In just a moment. but many times
00:06:32.038 --> 00:06:32.672
But many times we need to understand
00:06:32.738 --> 00:06:34.607
We need to understand this valuable lesson,
00:06:34.674 --> 00:06:36.909
This valuable lesson, that what we perceive
00:06:36.976 --> 00:06:38.044
That what we perceive is against us is actually full
00:06:38.110 --> 00:06:41.914
Is against us is actually full and containing blessings that
00:06:41.981 --> 00:06:43.816
And containing blessings that we can't even imagine.
00:06:43.883 --> 00:06:45.651
We can't even imagine. we would never
00:06:45.718 --> 00:06:46.252
We would never choose to go through it.
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.621
Choose to go through it. we'd never choose to voluntarily
00:06:48.688 --> 00:06:50.389
We'd never choose to voluntarily go to that place of against.
00:06:50.456 --> 00:06:53.025
Go to that place of against. but if god tells you to go
00:06:53.092 --> 00:06:54.894
But if god tells you to go and god leads you there,
00:06:54.961 --> 00:06:56.229
And god leads you there, it's because he's got something
00:06:56.295 --> 00:06:58.364
It's because he's got something that's tied up for you that
00:06:58.431 --> 00:06:59.866
That's tied up for you that nobody else can get and you
00:06:59.932 --> 00:07:02.068
Nobody else can get and you can't get to it until you
00:07:02.134 --> 00:07:03.803
Can't get to it until you go through against.
00:07:03.870 --> 00:07:08.608
Go through against. it's against you,
00:07:08.674 --> 00:07:09.308
It's against you, it's opposing you,
00:07:09.375 --> 00:07:12.245
It's opposing you, but there's
00:07:12.311 --> 00:07:12.979
But there's hidden treasure in it.
00:07:13.045 --> 00:07:14.947
Hidden treasure in it. he said, "i want you
00:07:15.014 --> 00:07:15.648
He said, "i want you to go to that place,
00:07:15.715 --> 00:07:17.049
To go to that place, and i've tied up a blessing.
00:07:17.116 --> 00:07:19.585
And i've tied up a blessing. i've tied up a colt upon which
00:07:19.652 --> 00:07:22.622
I've tied up a colt upon which a man has never rode before."
00:07:22.688 --> 00:07:25.224
A man has never rode before." in other words,
00:07:25.291 --> 00:07:26.058
In other words, i've got some brand new things
00:07:26.125 --> 00:07:28.828
I've got some brand new things that are coming out of what
00:07:28.895 --> 00:07:30.329
That are coming out of what you're going through that
00:07:30.396 --> 00:07:31.764
You're going through that feels like it's against you.
00:07:31.831 --> 00:07:34.033
Feels like it's against you. but this is what the bible says.
00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:35.468
But this is what the bible says. there's a guy in the bible
00:07:35.535 --> 00:07:37.103
There's a guy in the bible named jacob and he said
00:07:37.169 --> 00:07:38.204
Named jacob and he said in the book of genesis,
00:07:38.271 --> 00:07:39.205
In the book of genesis, i believe it's the 40th chapter,
00:07:39.272 --> 00:07:40.740
I believe it's the 40th chapter, he said, "everything is
00:07:40.806 --> 00:07:41.440
He said, "everything is against me."
00:07:41.507 --> 00:07:42.842
Against me." he said,
00:07:42.909 --> 00:07:43.309
He said, "everything is against me."
00:07:43.376 --> 00:07:44.710
"everything is against me." but then there's another guy
00:07:44.777 --> 00:07:45.978
But then there's another guy by the name of david and david
00:07:46.045 --> 00:07:47.813
By the name of david and david said in the scripture,
00:07:47.880 --> 00:07:49.382
Said in the scripture, "but god is for me."
00:07:49.448 --> 00:07:52.919
"but god is for me." there it is.
00:07:52.985 --> 00:07:53.386
There it is. he said, "i'm going through it,
00:07:53.452 --> 00:07:55.087
He said, "i'm going through it, i'm going through hell."
00:07:55.154 --> 00:07:56.289
I'm going through hell." but he said,
00:07:56.355 --> 00:07:57.290
But he said, "and god is bottling up
00:07:57.356 --> 00:07:58.591
"and god is bottling up all my tears because
00:07:58.658 --> 00:07:59.892
All my tears because all i'm doing is weeping,
00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:01.327
All i'm doing is weeping, i'm weeping, i'm weeping.
00:08:01.394 --> 00:08:02.528
I'm weeping, i'm weeping. he's bottling up my tears
00:08:02.595 --> 00:08:03.763
He's bottling up my tears and he's putting them in a book
00:08:03.829 --> 00:08:06.165
And he's putting them in a book and writing about them.
00:08:06.232 --> 00:08:07.099
And writing about them. but when i cry unto thee
00:08:07.166 --> 00:08:08.734
But when i cry unto thee and then shall mine enemies
00:08:08.801 --> 00:08:11.404
And then shall mine enemies turn back for this i know."
00:08:11.470 --> 00:08:13.839
Turn back for this i know." that's what you got to know.
00:08:13.906 --> 00:08:14.674
That's what you got to know. you got to get that
00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:15.441
You got to get that in your spirit.
00:08:15.508 --> 00:08:16.208
In your spirit. when everything is against you,
00:08:16.275 --> 00:08:18.644
When everything is against you, this is what i know,
00:08:18.711 --> 00:08:20.713
This is what i know, god is for me.
00:08:20.780 --> 00:08:22.615
God is for me. even if i messed up,
00:08:22.682 --> 00:08:24.350
Even if i messed up, even if i didn't listen to him,
00:08:24.417 --> 00:08:25.818
Even if i didn't listen to him, god never deserts you,
00:08:25.885 --> 00:08:27.987
God never deserts you, he never gives up on you.
00:08:28.054 --> 00:08:29.522
He never gives up on you. if you will earnestly
00:08:29.589 --> 00:08:30.523
If you will earnestly cry out to him,
00:08:30.590 --> 00:08:31.591
Cry out to him, now here comes the best part.
00:08:31.657 --> 00:08:33.192
Now here comes the best part. so, when everything's
00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:34.293
So, when everything's against me, number two,
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.128
Against me, number two, god is for me.
00:08:36.195 --> 00:08:37.330
God is for me. number three,
00:08:37.396 --> 00:08:38.297
Number three, and here's how god
00:08:38.364 --> 00:08:39.599
And here's how god is for you, romans 8:28,
00:08:39.665 --> 00:08:43.402
Is for you, romans 8:28, "for we know that all things
00:08:43.469 --> 00:08:47.039
"for we know that all things work together for the good."
00:08:47.106 --> 00:08:48.407
Work together for the good." not just for anything
00:08:48.474 --> 00:08:49.308
Not just for anything and not for your good.
00:08:49.375 --> 00:08:50.509
And not for your good. he's not talking
00:08:50.576 --> 00:08:51.210
He's not talking about your good.
00:08:51.277 --> 00:08:52.278
About your good. he's not saying,
00:08:52.345 --> 00:08:53.212
He's not saying, oh, god's going to give me
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:54.347
Oh, god's going to give me everything i want.
00:08:54.413 --> 00:08:55.181
Everything i want. that's not what he's saying.
00:08:55.247 --> 00:08:57.416
That's not what he's saying. "all things work together for
00:08:57.483 --> 00:08:59.518
"all things work together for the good to them that love god."
00:08:59.585 --> 00:09:03.122
The good to them that love god." anybody love god in this place?
00:09:03.189 --> 00:09:05.625
Anybody love god in this place? see, i don't love him
00:09:05.691 --> 00:09:06.292
See, i don't love him when he blesses me.
00:09:06.359 --> 00:09:07.460
When he blesses me. i don't love him any more
00:09:07.526 --> 00:09:09.395
I don't love him any more when i'm high on blessing
00:09:09.462 --> 00:09:12.264
When i'm high on blessing than when i'm low going
00:09:12.331 --> 00:09:13.299
Than when i'm low going through the valley.
00:09:13.366 --> 00:09:14.266
Through the valley. my love actually is more.
00:09:14.333 --> 00:09:16.168
My love actually is more. i cling to him.
00:09:16.235 --> 00:09:17.236
I cling to him. i say my help
00:09:17.303 --> 00:09:18.437
I say my help comes from the lord.
00:09:18.504 --> 00:09:22.541
Comes from the lord. "and those who are called,"
00:09:22.608 --> 00:09:24.010
"and those who are called," the rest of the verse says,
00:09:24.076 --> 00:09:25.244
The rest of the verse says, "according to his purpose."
00:09:25.311 --> 00:09:28.714
"according to his purpose." in other words,
00:09:28.781 --> 00:09:29.215
In other words, if god is letting you
00:09:29.281 --> 00:09:30.650
If god is letting you go through and everything
00:09:30.716 --> 00:09:33.152
Go through and everything is coming against you,
00:09:33.219 --> 00:09:35.321
Is coming against you, everything's against me,
00:09:35.388 --> 00:09:37.823
Everything's against me, but you got to know in that
00:09:37.890 --> 00:09:38.924
But you got to know in that moment but god is for me.
00:09:38.991 --> 00:09:41.260
Moment but god is for me. and when he has tried me,
00:09:41.327 --> 00:09:42.862
And when he has tried me, i will come forth as pure gold
00:09:42.928 --> 00:09:44.630
I will come forth as pure gold because all these things in it,
00:09:44.697 --> 00:09:47.433
Because all these things in it, there is a tied up blessing.
00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:52.772
There is a tied up blessing. and it's a donkey that's never,
00:09:52.838 --> 00:09:55.641
And it's a donkey that's never, a man's never rode before,
00:09:55.708 --> 00:09:56.976
A man's never rode before, meaning there's a new experience
00:09:57.043 --> 00:10:00.846
Meaning there's a new experience coming, new blessings coming.
00:10:00.913 --> 00:10:03.282
Coming, new blessings coming. and remember that donkey
00:10:03.349 --> 00:10:04.950
And remember that donkey was the one that jesus
00:10:05.017 --> 00:10:06.285
Was the one that jesus would ride into jerusalem
00:10:06.352 --> 00:10:08.020
Would ride into jerusalem and the people would shout
00:10:08.087 --> 00:10:09.422
And the people would shout and wave palm branches
00:10:09.488 --> 00:10:10.790
And wave palm branches as he was entering into
00:10:10.856 --> 00:10:12.658
As he was entering into the holy week where he would
00:10:12.725 --> 00:10:14.527
The holy week where he would die and be resurrected.
00:10:14.593 --> 00:10:17.163
Die and be resurrected. it all was dependent upon him
00:10:17.229 --> 00:10:19.899
It all was dependent upon him fulfilling a prophecy
00:10:19.965 --> 00:10:21.400
Fulfilling a prophecy in the book of zechariah
00:10:21.467 --> 00:10:22.768
In the book of zechariah that riding on a colt
00:10:22.835 --> 00:10:24.704
That riding on a colt or a foal he will come,
00:10:24.770 --> 00:10:27.840
Or a foal he will come, and upon which a man
00:10:27.907 --> 00:10:29.442
And upon which a man has never rode.
00:10:29.508 --> 00:10:30.076
Has never rode. he was fulfilling a prophecy
00:10:30.142 --> 00:10:32.144
He was fulfilling a prophecy that was prophesied thousands
00:10:32.211 --> 00:10:34.180
That was prophesied thousands of years, hundreds of years,
00:10:34.246 --> 00:10:35.514
Of years, hundreds of years, certainly maybe 1,500 years
00:10:35.581 --> 00:10:37.416
Certainly maybe 1,500 years before he was even born,
00:10:37.483 --> 00:10:39.385
Before he was even born, jesus was, that prophecy
00:10:39.452 --> 00:10:41.587
Jesus was, that prophecy was being fulfilled.
00:10:41.654 --> 00:10:42.955
Was being fulfilled. in other words,
00:10:43.022 --> 00:10:43.622
In other words, i want you to understand,
00:10:43.689 --> 00:10:45.091
I want you to understand, sometimes god lets you...
00:10:45.157 --> 00:10:46.692
Sometimes god lets you... and can you hear
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.693
And can you hear the people screaming?
00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:48.928
The people screaming? "hosanna, praise, praise.
00:10:48.994 --> 00:10:51.063
"hosanna, praise, praise. blessed is he who comes
00:10:51.130 --> 00:10:52.031
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord.
00:10:52.098 --> 00:10:53.065
In the name of the lord. hosanna."
00:10:53.132 --> 00:10:53.666
Hosanna." and they were crying
00:10:53.733 --> 00:10:54.800
And they were crying and throwing their coats down
00:10:54.867 --> 00:10:56.035
And throwing their coats down for that donkey to walk over
00:10:56.102 --> 00:10:57.503
For that donkey to walk over that was carrying jesus.
00:10:57.570 --> 00:10:58.871
That was carrying jesus. sometimes god will let you
00:10:58.938 --> 00:11:00.573
Sometimes god will let you go through a season when
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.041
Go through a season when everything is against you.
00:11:02.108 --> 00:11:03.409
Everything is against you. he sent them to against to untie
00:11:03.476 --> 00:11:07.947
He sent them to against to untie the colt that would literally
00:11:08.013 --> 00:11:10.549
The colt that would literally take jesus to his eternal
00:11:10.616 --> 00:11:13.619
Take jesus to his eternal purpose and place of destiny,
00:11:13.686 --> 00:11:16.422
Purpose and place of destiny, the cross and calvary
00:11:16.489 --> 00:11:18.791
The cross and calvary and the resurrection in
00:11:18.858 --> 00:11:20.426
And the resurrection in the tomb and the ascension
00:11:20.493 --> 00:11:22.695
The tomb and the ascension to the right hand of the father.
00:11:22.762 --> 00:11:25.097
To the right hand of the father. it was all tied, in other words.
00:11:25.164 --> 00:11:28.167
It was all tied, in other words. and the people when he was
00:11:28.234 --> 00:11:29.168
And the people when he was riding started praising.
00:11:29.235 --> 00:11:30.936
Riding started praising. god will get praise out
00:11:31.003 --> 00:11:33.038
God will get praise out of what he allows you to go
00:11:33.105 --> 00:11:35.040
Of what he allows you to go through that comes against
00:11:35.107 --> 00:11:36.275
Through that comes against you when you don't quit
00:11:36.342 --> 00:11:37.843
You when you don't quit and you will say there's
00:11:37.910 --> 00:11:39.044
And you will say there's a blessing in this.
00:11:39.111 --> 00:11:41.046
A blessing in this. people are watching
00:11:41.113 --> 00:11:44.283
People are watching and god is watching.
00:11:44.350 --> 00:11:47.486
And god is watching. tell somebody i found
00:11:47.553 --> 00:11:48.654
Tell somebody i found blessing in against.
00:11:48.721 --> 00:11:51.590
Blessing in against. if i were to take
00:11:51.657 --> 00:11:52.258
If i were to take this microphone and go
00:11:52.324 --> 00:11:53.359
This microphone and go around this room,
00:11:53.425 --> 00:11:54.660
Around this room, i could interview people
00:11:54.727 --> 00:11:55.694
I could interview people all over this building
00:11:55.761 --> 00:11:56.562
All over this building and they'd say,
00:11:56.629 --> 00:11:57.329
And they'd say, "i thought it was
00:11:57.396 --> 00:11:58.297
"i thought it was the end of my life.
00:11:58.364 --> 00:11:58.964
The end of my life. i thought that
00:11:59.031 --> 00:11:59.732
I thought that i lost everything.
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:00.699
I lost everything. i went bankrupt.
00:12:00.766 --> 00:12:01.901
I went bankrupt. i went through a divorce.
00:12:01.967 --> 00:12:03.435
I went through a divorce. i'm telling you i thought
00:12:03.502 --> 00:12:04.570
I'm telling you i thought that was it.
00:12:04.637 --> 00:12:05.137
That was it. i went through this.
00:12:05.204 --> 00:12:06.038
I went through this. i went through that.
00:12:06.105 --> 00:12:06.906
I went through that. i had cancer
00:12:06.972 --> 00:12:09.008
I had cancer or i'm going through it."
00:12:09.074 --> 00:12:10.576
Or i'm going through it." and we don't deny
00:12:10.643 --> 00:12:12.511
And we don't deny the fact that life is,
00:12:12.578 --> 00:12:14.380
The fact that life is, most of life is against.
00:12:14.446 --> 00:12:16.415
Most of life is against. you live it in a place
00:12:16.482 --> 00:12:17.583
You live it in a place called against.
00:12:17.650 --> 00:12:18.551
Called against. welcome to life.
00:12:18.617 --> 00:12:19.451
Welcome to life. the alternative is die
00:12:19.518 --> 00:12:21.120
The alternative is die if you don't like it.
00:12:21.187 --> 00:12:25.524
If you don't like it. we're going to suffer
00:12:25.591 --> 00:12:26.525
We're going to suffer in this life.
00:12:26.592 --> 00:12:27.226
In this life. we're going to go through
00:12:27.293 --> 00:12:28.194
We're going to go through stuff in this life.
00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:29.295
Stuff in this life. but everything is better with
00:12:29.361 --> 00:12:30.529
But everything is better with jesus because he's for me.
00:12:30.596 --> 00:12:34.066
Jesus because he's for me. and if he's for me,
00:12:34.133 --> 00:12:34.767
And if he's for me, he works and uses those things
00:12:34.834 --> 00:12:36.602
He works and uses those things to mold me more out of what
00:12:36.669 --> 00:12:39.338
To mold me more out of what i've been against.
00:12:39.405 --> 00:12:40.306
I've been against. he makes me more like him.
00:12:40.372 --> 00:12:42.007
He makes me more like him. i get that stubbornness out.
00:12:42.074 --> 00:12:43.576
I get that stubbornness out. i get that pride out.
00:12:43.642 --> 00:12:45.110
I get that pride out. i get that self-will.
00:12:45.177 --> 00:12:46.579
I get that self-will. i let go of that addiction.
00:12:46.645 --> 00:12:48.280
I let go of that addiction. i let go of that lie.
00:12:48.347 --> 00:12:49.448
I let go of that lie. i let go of that bondage.
00:12:49.515 --> 00:12:50.583
I let go of that bondage. and more and more
00:12:50.649 --> 00:12:51.750
And more and more i'm looking like jesus.
00:12:51.817 --> 00:12:53.185
I'm looking like jesus. it's not about me
00:12:53.252 --> 00:12:53.886
It's not about me looking better.
00:12:53.953 --> 00:12:54.820
Looking better. it's about me
00:12:54.887 --> 00:12:55.554
It's about me looking like jesus.
00:12:55.621 --> 00:12:56.989
[applause]
00:12:57.389 --> 00:13:03.295
You see, good things
00:13:05.631 --> 00:13:08.767
You see, good things are tied up in bad places.
00:13:08.834 --> 00:13:12.671
Are tied up in bad places. it was a place called against,
00:13:12.738 --> 00:13:14.206
It was a place called against, but there was something
00:13:14.273 --> 00:13:15.241
But there was something good tied up.
00:13:15.307 --> 00:13:18.043
Good tied up. and some of you don't ever
00:13:18.110 --> 00:13:19.478
And some of you don't ever want to go into a bad place,
00:13:19.545 --> 00:13:21.280
Want to go into a bad place, but you can't get
00:13:21.347 --> 00:13:22.381
But you can't get to the tied-up blessings,
00:13:22.448 --> 00:13:23.916
To the tied-up blessings, the big ones without
00:13:23.983 --> 00:13:26.485
The big ones without going through against.
00:13:26.552 --> 00:13:28.420
Going through against. i thought about covid when i was
00:13:28.487 --> 00:13:32.791
I thought about covid when i was thinking about this message.
00:13:32.858 --> 00:13:34.660
Thinking about this message. i thought about covid.
00:13:34.727 --> 00:13:37.029
I thought about covid. i used to come in this room
00:13:37.096 --> 00:13:39.198
I used to come in this room right here on fridays and they
00:13:39.265 --> 00:13:42.201
Right here on fridays and they had a cameraman back there
00:13:42.268 --> 00:13:44.103
Had a cameraman back there on the camera and we
00:13:44.169 --> 00:13:45.804
On the camera and we couldn't have church.
00:13:45.871 --> 00:13:48.574
Couldn't have church. there's 3,000 seats,
00:13:48.641 --> 00:13:50.643
There's 3,000 seats, fixed seats, and then
00:13:50.709 --> 00:13:51.911
Fixed seats, and then we have stacked chairs
00:13:51.977 --> 00:13:52.912
We have stacked chairs and then we have overflow.
00:13:52.978 --> 00:13:56.548
And then we have overflow. and i would come
00:13:56.615 --> 00:13:57.049
And i would come in this room week after week,
00:13:57.116 --> 00:13:59.952
In this room week after week, month after month
00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:01.120
Month after month after month after month,
00:14:01.186 --> 00:14:03.389
After month after month, and i'd walk up to this pulpit,
00:14:03.455 --> 00:14:04.924
And i'd walk up to this pulpit, and the little red light
00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:06.725
And the little red light would come on the camera
00:14:06.792 --> 00:14:09.194
Would come on the camera and i'm preaching to
00:14:09.261 --> 00:14:10.396
And i'm preaching to 3,000 empty seats every sunday.
00:14:10.462 --> 00:14:15.834
3,000 empty seats every sunday. that's why when i get
00:14:15.901 --> 00:14:17.436
That's why when i get a little excited,
00:14:17.503 --> 00:14:18.804
A little excited, "i wish he would calm down
00:14:18.871 --> 00:14:20.506
"i wish he would calm down and i brought my friend
00:14:20.572 --> 00:14:22.675
And i brought my friend and it's embarrassing.
00:14:22.741 --> 00:14:24.176
And it's embarrassing. he screams.
00:14:24.243 --> 00:14:25.678
He screams. he screams."
00:14:25.744 --> 00:14:28.614
He screams." but you ought to come in here.
00:14:28.681 --> 00:14:30.215
But you ought to come in here. i know what the rapture
00:14:30.282 --> 00:14:31.817
I know what the rapture is going to be like
00:14:31.884 --> 00:14:32.651
Is going to be like if you're left behind.
00:14:32.718 --> 00:14:34.787
If you're left behind. i came to church and there
00:14:34.853 --> 00:14:36.588
I came to church and there was nobody here but me,
00:14:36.655 --> 00:14:39.925
Was nobody here but me, and i was the preacher.
00:14:39.992 --> 00:14:40.659
And i was the preacher. i said, "lord, if i ever
00:14:40.726 --> 00:14:42.294
I said, "lord, if i ever get back a crowd,
00:14:42.361 --> 00:14:44.596
Get back a crowd, if i ever get back in
00:14:44.663 --> 00:14:46.131
If i ever get back in god's house with god's people,
00:14:46.198 --> 00:14:48.400
God's house with god's people, if i ever get a choir back,
00:14:48.467 --> 00:14:50.803
If i ever get a choir back, if i ever get people back,
00:14:50.869 --> 00:14:52.938
If i ever get people back, i promise you i'll never
00:14:53.005 --> 00:14:54.940
I promise you i'll never let that praise be...
00:14:55.007 --> 00:14:57.276
Let that praise be... if we get under nuclear attack,
00:14:57.343 --> 00:14:59.178
If we get under nuclear attack, the doors will be open.
00:14:59.244 --> 00:15:01.380
The doors will be open. we'll go out praising our king.
00:15:01.447 --> 00:15:04.650
We'll go out praising our king. everything may be against us,
00:15:04.717 --> 00:15:06.852
Everything may be against us, but god is for us and he works
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.054
But god is for us and he works all things together
00:15:09.121 --> 00:15:10.889
All things together for our good."
00:15:10.956 --> 00:15:13.125
For our good." everybody take
00:15:13.192 --> 00:15:13.792
Everybody take a praise break.
00:15:13.859 --> 00:15:14.960
[cheering and applause]
00:15:15.394 --> 00:15:17.496
All right.
00:15:17.963 --> 00:15:18.364
All right. all right, sit down.
00:15:18.430 --> 00:15:20.632
If god would allow you
00:15:22.201 --> 00:15:23.002
If god would allow you to take out of the book
00:15:23.068 --> 00:15:25.804
To take out of the book of your life the ugly chapters,
00:15:25.871 --> 00:15:28.574
Of your life the ugly chapters, the dark chapters,
00:15:28.640 --> 00:15:30.342
The dark chapters, the depressing days,
00:15:30.409 --> 00:15:33.012
The depressing days, the i can't take it
00:15:33.078 --> 00:15:33.779
The i can't take it no more nights,
00:15:33.846 --> 00:15:35.848
No more nights, the i give up, i just
00:15:35.914 --> 00:15:36.815
The i give up, i just want to die, i can't go on,
00:15:36.882 --> 00:15:42.321
Want to die, i can't go on, if god were to do that,
00:15:42.388 --> 00:15:44.156
If god were to do that, you would not be where you are
00:15:44.223 --> 00:15:47.793
You would not be where you are and who you are without
00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:51.163
And who you are without what you've been through.
00:15:51.230 --> 00:15:54.299
What you've been through. there's a blessing tied up
00:15:54.366 --> 00:15:58.470
There's a blessing tied up in what's against you.
00:15:58.537 --> 00:16:01.206
In what's against you. he had it tied up for them.
00:16:01.273 --> 00:16:05.144
He had it tied up for them. and by the way, he must
00:16:05.210 --> 00:16:06.512
And by the way, he must have been through there
00:16:06.578 --> 00:16:07.913
Have been through there because he knew it was there.
00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:09.314
Because he knew it was there. he's been where you are
00:16:09.381 --> 00:16:11.050
He's been where you are and he knows where you are
00:16:11.116 --> 00:16:13.018
And he knows where you are and he knows how to get
00:16:13.085 --> 00:16:14.186
And he knows how to get out of there.
00:16:14.253 --> 00:16:18.557
Out of there. thank god for what
00:16:18.624 --> 00:16:19.558
Thank god for what came against you,
00:16:19.625 --> 00:16:25.898
Came against you, there's a treasure in it.
00:16:25.964 --> 00:16:27.099
There's a treasure in it. that's how jesus
00:16:27.166 --> 00:16:29.902
That's how jesus could call judas...
00:16:29.968 --> 00:16:33.038
Could call judas... the bible said,
00:16:33.105 --> 00:16:33.505
The bible said, "when judas the snake..."
00:16:33.572 --> 00:16:36.308
"when judas the snake..." all right,
00:16:36.375 --> 00:16:36.775
All right, i'm preaching to you now.
00:16:36.842 --> 00:16:37.943
I'm preaching to you now. you know all those people
00:16:38.010 --> 00:16:39.344
You know all those people you can't stand?
00:16:39.411 --> 00:16:40.979
You can't stand? you better check your spirit.
00:16:41.046 --> 00:16:45.017
You better check your spirit. you know what jesus did
00:16:45.084 --> 00:16:46.051
You know what jesus did to his betrayer?
00:16:46.118 --> 00:16:48.587
To his betrayer? judas?
00:16:48.654 --> 00:16:49.188
Judas? you know judas
00:16:49.254 --> 00:16:51.123
You know judas sold him out for
00:16:51.190 --> 00:16:51.890
Sold him out for 30 pieces of silver.
00:16:51.957 --> 00:16:55.160
30 pieces of silver. and you know what jesus did
00:16:55.227 --> 00:16:55.928
And you know what jesus did when he came in the garden?
00:16:55.994 --> 00:16:56.862
When he came in the garden? the bible said he kissed him
00:16:56.929 --> 00:16:59.298
The bible said he kissed him and called him friend.
00:16:59.364 --> 00:17:02.501
And called him friend. you know what you're supposed
00:17:02.568 --> 00:17:03.235
You know what you're supposed to do when people hurt you?
00:17:03.302 --> 00:17:06.605
To do when people hurt you? pray for those who
00:17:06.672 --> 00:17:07.806
Pray for those who despitefully use you.
00:17:07.873 --> 00:17:10.843
Despitefully use you. love your enemies.
00:17:10.909 --> 00:17:11.910
Love your enemies. i hate that verse.
00:17:11.977 --> 00:17:12.911
I hate that verse. i'm just being...
00:17:12.978 --> 00:17:14.079
I'm just being... i don't want to love them.
00:17:14.146 --> 00:17:15.380
I don't want to love them. i want to hit them.
00:17:15.447 --> 00:17:22.221
I want to hit them. but jesus has a betrayer,
00:17:22.287 --> 00:17:26.692
But jesus has a betrayer, who will cost him
00:17:26.758 --> 00:17:27.793
Who will cost him suffering and beating.
00:17:27.860 --> 00:17:29.795
Suffering and beating. but i want you to see it
00:17:29.862 --> 00:17:30.929
But i want you to see it like jesus sees it.
00:17:30.996 --> 00:17:32.931
Like jesus sees it. it looks like this
00:17:32.998 --> 00:17:33.699
It looks like this guy's against me,
00:17:33.765 --> 00:17:34.700
Guy's against me, but actually, all things
00:17:34.766 --> 00:17:36.034
But actually, all things are working together
00:17:36.101 --> 00:17:36.869
Are working together for his purpose.
00:17:36.935 --> 00:17:38.470
For his purpose. i have to have a betrayer
00:17:38.537 --> 00:17:40.539
I have to have a betrayer to fulfill prophecy
00:17:40.606 --> 00:17:41.940
To fulfill prophecy because it's foretold
00:17:42.007 --> 00:17:42.774
Because it's foretold that i'll be betrayed
00:17:42.841 --> 00:17:43.709
That i'll be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver
00:17:43.775 --> 00:17:45.110
For 30 pieces of silver hundreds of years ago.
00:17:45.177 --> 00:17:46.545
Hundreds of years ago. so, i've got
00:17:46.612 --> 00:17:47.146
So, i've got to fulfill that prophecy.
00:17:47.212 --> 00:17:48.514
To fulfill that prophecy. and i've washed his feet
00:17:48.580 --> 00:17:51.183
And i've washed his feet just a few hours ago
00:17:51.250 --> 00:17:52.518
Just a few hours ago just to show him,
00:17:52.584 --> 00:17:53.485
Just to show him, just to give him
00:17:53.552 --> 00:17:54.052
Just to give him one more chance.
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:54.786
One more chance. i washed his feet.
00:17:54.853 --> 00:17:55.988
I washed his feet. i knew he was going
00:17:56.054 --> 00:17:56.855
