David: our lowly bodies are going to be changed
00:00:07.363 --> 00:00:09.933
Into the likeness of the body of jesus christ.
00:00:09.933 --> 00:00:12.368

00:00:12.368 --> 00:00:14.537
"the extreme makeover."
00:00:14.537 --> 00:00:16.739
I read someplace about how many billions of dollars
00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:19.943
Are spent every year on cosmetics and surgery
00:00:19.943 --> 00:00:23.413
And everything trying to make our bodies look better.
00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:25.849
And on the way up we're going to be changed.
00:00:25.849 --> 00:00:28.485

For you to communicate the greatest truth the world will ever hear.

As masterfully as anybody i've ever seen. i've been on television
00:01:26.342 --> 00:01:27.544
As anybody i've ever seen. i've been on television more than 50 years,

I've been on television more than 50 years, i don't know how long

More than 50 years, i don't know how long you've been on

I don't know how long you've been on but i've been on a long time.
00:01:31.114 --> 00:01:32.182
You've been on but i've been on a long time. when i first went on
00:01:32.248 --> 00:01:33.316
But i've been on a long time. when i first went on it was oral roberts,
00:01:33.383 --> 00:01:34.450
When i first went on it was oral roberts, rex humbard and me.
00:01:34.517 --> 00:01:35.585
It was oral roberts, rex humbard and me. i didn't have
00:01:35.652 --> 00:01:36.719
Rex humbard and me. i didn't have as much competition.
00:01:36.786 --> 00:01:37.854
I didn't have as much competition. you weren't there.
00:01:37.921 --> 00:01:38.988
As much competition. you weren't there. i probably would have been

You weren't there. i probably would have been out of business
00:01:40.190 --> 00:01:41.257
I probably would have been out of business if you'd been there.
00:01:41.324 --> 00:01:42.392
Out of business if you'd been there. but the deal is,
00:01:42.458 --> 00:01:43.526
If you'd been there. but the deal is, where you are right now,

But the deal is, where you are right now, i see it as powerful
00:01:44.727 --> 00:01:45.795
Where you are right now, i see it as powerful a point of influence
00:01:45.862 --> 00:01:47.063
I see it as powerful a point of influence as i've ever seen.
00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:48.364
A point of influence as i've ever seen. the love and the poise

As i've ever seen. the love and the poise and the confidence

In heaven? and probably people want to know too,
00:02:31.674 --> 00:02:32.809
And probably people want to know too, if they lose a child,
00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:33.843
People want to know too, if they lose a child, you know,
00:02:33.910 --> 00:02:36.746
If they lose a child, you know, what will they look like
00:02:36.813 --> 00:02:38.181
You know, what will they look like in heaven?
00:02:38.248 --> 00:02:39.349
What will they look like in heaven? by the way,
00:02:39.415 --> 00:02:40.516
In heaven? by the way, let's answer that question,
00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:41.684

We'll know each other. what would heaven be
00:02:46.422 --> 00:02:47.523
What would heaven be if we didn't know each other?
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:49.125
The people on the mount
00:02:51.227 --> 00:02:52.862
The people on the mount of transfiguration
00:02:52.929 --> 00:02:53.963
The people on the mount of transfiguration they were known.
00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:54.998
Of transfiguration they were known. when jesus came
00:02:55.064 --> 00:02:56.165
They were known. when jesus came out of the grave
00:02:56.232 --> 00:02:57.333
When jesus came out of the grave in his resurrection body
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.501
Out of the grave in his resurrection body mary was a little bit stunned
00:02:58.568 --> 00:02:59.869
In his resurrection body mary was a little bit stunned but she recognized him
00:02:59.936 --> 00:03:01.037
Mary was a little bit stunned but she recognized him by his voice.
00:03:01.104 --> 00:03:02.205
But she recognized him by his voice. when the two
00:03:02.272 --> 00:03:03.239
By his voice. when the two on the road to emmaus
00:03:03.306 --> 00:03:04.340
When the two on the road to emmaus walked with him

They recognized him by the breaking of the bread. they saw the scars
00:03:08.778 --> 00:03:09.846
By the breaking of the bread. they saw the scars in his hands.
00:03:09.912 --> 00:03:11.014
They saw the scars in his hands. we will know each other
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:12.148
In his hands. we will know each other because we will have memory
00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:13.549
We will know each other because we will have memory and what would life be
00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:14.717
Because we will have memory and what would life be without that?
00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:15.785
And what would life be without that? we wouldn't --
00:03:15.852 --> 00:03:16.886
Without that? we wouldn't -- it wouldn't make any sense.
00:03:16.953 --> 00:03:17.954
We wouldn't -- it wouldn't make any sense. we are going to know
00:03:18.021 --> 00:03:19.022
It wouldn't make any sense. we are going to know even as we are known
00:03:19.088 --> 00:03:20.089
We are going to know even as we are known says the scripture.
00:03:20.156 --> 00:03:21.190
Even as we are known says the scripture. we'll know each other
00:03:21.257 --> 00:03:22.191
Says the scripture. we'll know each other better than we have ever
00:03:22.258 --> 00:03:23.393
We'll know each other better than we have ever known each other
00:03:23.459 --> 00:03:24.594
Better than we have ever known each other on this earth.
00:03:24.661 --> 00:03:25.728

James: okay, what about children? david: james,
00:03:34.570 --> 00:03:35.571
What about children? david: james, one of the first things
00:03:35.638 --> 00:03:36.639
David: james, one of the first things that ever happened to me
00:03:36.706 --> 00:03:37.640
One of the first things that ever happened to me as a pastor
00:03:37.707 --> 00:03:38.841
That ever happened to me as a pastor was i was a young associate
00:03:38.908 --> 00:03:40.009
As a pastor was i was a young associate in haddon heights, new jersey
00:03:40.076 --> 00:03:42.045
Was i was a young associate in haddon heights, new jersey and my pastor went away
00:03:42.111 --> 00:03:43.813
In haddon heights, new jersey and my pastor went away for two or three days
00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:44.981
And my pastor went away for two or three days and left me in charge.
00:03:45.048 --> 00:03:47.884
For two or three days and left me in charge. when he was gone
00:03:47.950 --> 00:03:49.152
And left me in charge. when he was gone something happened
00:03:49.218 --> 00:03:50.153
When he was gone something happened that i didn't know
00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:51.854
Something happened that i didn't know whatever happened to me
00:03:51.921 --> 00:03:52.955
That i didn't know whatever happened to me and i didn't know
00:03:53.022 --> 00:03:54.023
Whatever happened to me and i didn't know how to deal with it.
00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:55.158
And i didn't know how to deal with it. a young couple in our church,
00:03:55.224 --> 00:03:56.426
How to deal with it. a young couple in our church, i remember their name,
00:03:56.492 --> 00:03:58.761
A young couple in our church, i remember their name, they experienced a crib death
00:03:58.828 --> 00:04:00.530
I remember their name, they experienced a crib death for their baby.
00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:01.864
They experienced a crib death for their baby. they called me
00:04:01.931 --> 00:04:03.533
For their baby. they called me and asked me to come.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.867
They called me and asked me to come. i don't think
00:04:04.934 --> 00:04:06.069
And asked me to come. i don't think there is anything
00:04:06.135 --> 00:04:07.437
I don't think there is anything more overwhelming than that.
00:04:07.503 --> 00:04:10.206
There is anything more overwhelming than that. you've lost a child
00:04:10.273 --> 00:04:11.507
More overwhelming than that. you've lost a child but losing a child of any age
00:04:11.574 --> 00:04:13.309
You've lost a child but losing a child of any age is tough
00:04:13.376 --> 00:04:14.477
But losing a child of any age is tough but that little baby.
00:04:14.544 --> 00:04:16.212
Is tough but that little baby. then i had the funeral
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.315
But that little baby. then i had the funeral and i can't imagine
00:04:19.382 --> 00:04:20.850
Then i had the funeral and i can't imagine how bad that must have been.
00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:21.918
And i can't imagine how bad that must have been. i didn't know
00:04:21.984 --> 00:04:23.052
How bad that must have been. i didn't know what i was doing.
00:04:23.119 --> 00:04:24.153
I didn't know what i was doing. i did the best i could
00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:25.321
What i was doing. i did the best i could before the lord.
00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:26.489
I did the best i could before the lord. but i remember after --
00:04:26.556 --> 00:04:27.657
Before the lord. but i remember after -- we had long conversations
00:04:27.724 --> 00:04:28.958
But i remember after -- we had long conversations about where is my child?
00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:31.961
We had long conversations about where is my child? so i did some homework
00:04:32.028 --> 00:04:33.363
About where is my child? so i did some homework on that.
00:04:33.429 --> 00:04:34.464
So i did some homework on that. i think i came to the answer
00:04:34.530 --> 00:04:36.299
On that. i think i came to the answer the scripture gives us
00:04:36.366 --> 00:04:37.600
I think i came to the answer the scripture gives us and it's found
00:04:37.667 --> 00:04:38.768
The scripture gives us and it's found in the old testament
00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:40.036
And it's found in the old testament in a story about david.
00:04:40.103 --> 00:04:42.438
In the old testament in a story about david. most of you know the story
00:04:42.505 --> 00:04:43.673
In a story about david. most of you know the story of david and bathsheba
00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:44.941
Most of you know the story of david and bathsheba and that there was
00:04:45.007 --> 00:04:47.377
Of david and bathsheba and that there was a child born to them
00:04:47.443 --> 00:04:49.045
And that there was a child born to them and that that child died
00:04:49.112 --> 00:04:50.613
A child born to them and that that child died because it was punishment
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.648
And that that child died because it was punishment for their sin;
00:04:52.715 --> 00:04:53.916
Because it was punishment for their sin; and nathan communicated that
00:04:53.983 --> 00:04:55.051
For their sin; and nathan communicated that to david.
00:04:55.118 --> 00:04:56.486
And nathan communicated that to david. the bible says
00:04:56.552 --> 00:04:58.154
To david. the bible says when the child was sick
00:04:58.221 --> 00:04:59.622
The bible says when the child was sick and looked like
00:04:59.689 --> 00:05:01.057
When the child was sick and looked like it was going to die,
00:05:01.124 --> 00:05:02.392
And looked like it was going to die, david dressed
00:05:02.458 --> 00:05:04.527
It was going to die, david dressed in sackcloth and ashes
00:05:04.594 --> 00:05:05.995
David dressed in sackcloth and ashes and he mourned and he wept
00:05:06.062 --> 00:05:08.231
In sackcloth and ashes and he mourned and he wept and he wouldn't eat.
00:05:08.297 --> 00:05:11.601
And he mourned and he wept and he wouldn't eat. then seven days later
00:05:11.667 --> 00:05:13.403
And he wouldn't eat. then seven days later the child died
00:05:13.469 --> 00:05:15.872
Then seven days later the child died and david got up
00:05:15.938 --> 00:05:17.273
The child died and david got up from the ground,
00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:19.642
And david got up from the ground, he anointed himself
00:05:19.709 --> 00:05:21.110
From the ground, he anointed himself and put on his clothes
00:05:21.177 --> 00:05:22.478
He anointed himself and put on his clothes and nobody...
00:05:22.545 --> 00:05:24.180
And put on his clothes and nobody... they said, "well,
00:05:24.247 --> 00:05:25.581
And nobody... they said, "well, while the child was dying
00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:27.917
They said, "well, while the child was dying and still had hope,
00:05:27.984 --> 00:05:29.185
While the child was dying and still had hope, you dressed as if
00:05:29.252 --> 00:05:30.987
And still had hope, you dressed as if the mourning was here.
00:05:31.053 --> 00:05:32.422
You dressed as if the mourning was here. and now the child is dead
00:05:32.488 --> 00:05:33.656
The mourning was here. and now the child is dead and you stand up
00:05:33.723 --> 00:05:34.957
And now the child is dead and you stand up and you come..."
00:05:35.024 --> 00:05:36.159
And you stand up and you come..." and here was his answer.
00:05:36.225 --> 00:05:37.293
And you come..." and here was his answer. he said,
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:38.628
And here was his answer. he said, "while the child lived
00:05:38.694 --> 00:05:40.029
He said, "while the child lived i mourned if perhaps
00:05:40.096 --> 00:05:41.431
And let him continue to live.
00:05:43.599 --> 00:05:45.334
And let him continue to live. but now that the child is dead
00:05:45.401 --> 00:05:47.370
But now that the child is dead i cannot bring him back to me
00:05:47.437 --> 00:05:50.106
And in that little phrase
00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:55.745
And in that little phrase is the hope
00:05:55.812 --> 00:05:57.146
And in that little phrase is the hope for every young couple
00:05:57.213 --> 00:05:58.381
Is the hope for every young couple who loses a child.
00:05:58.448 --> 00:05:59.749
For every young couple who loses a child. david said that that baby
00:05:59.816 --> 00:06:03.319
Who loses a child. david said that that baby that was born and died
00:06:03.386 --> 00:06:07.156
David said that that baby that was born and died some day he would see
00:06:07.223 --> 00:06:08.758
That was born and died some day he would see that child again.
00:06:08.825 --> 00:06:10.393
Some day he would see that child again. and i've actually said this
00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:11.761
That child again. and i've actually said this to people who have gone
00:06:11.828 --> 00:06:13.062
And i've actually said this to people who have gone through abortions.
00:06:13.129 --> 00:06:14.330
To people who have gone through abortions. it is such a sad thing.
00:06:14.397 --> 00:06:16.132
Through abortions. it is such a sad thing. abortion is terrible
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.433
It is such a sad thing. abortion is terrible for the loss of the child
00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:18.901
Abortion is terrible for the loss of the child but most people don't realize
00:06:18.968 --> 00:06:20.536
For the loss of the child but most people don't realize the pain that it brings
00:06:20.603 --> 00:06:22.605
But most people don't realize the pain that it brings to the mother
00:06:22.672 --> 00:06:23.873
The pain that it brings to the mother and the father
00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:25.074
To the mother and the father when they finally realize
00:06:25.141 --> 00:06:26.375
And the father when they finally realize what they've done;
00:06:26.442 --> 00:06:27.610
When they finally realize what they've done; and many of them have
00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:28.945
What they've done; and many of them have lifelong crises over that.
00:06:29.011 --> 00:06:30.913
And many of them have lifelong crises over that. what i've said to parents,
00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:32.615
Lifelong crises over that. what i've said to parents, one day, if i understand
00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:34.317
What i've said to parents, one day, if i understand this correctly,
00:06:34.383 --> 00:06:35.618
One day, if i understand this correctly, one day because
00:06:35.685 --> 00:06:36.919
This correctly, one day because that child is a person,
00:06:36.986 --> 00:06:38.454
One day because that child is a person, and the child is a person
00:06:38.521 --> 00:06:39.822
That child is a person, and the child is a person at conception,
00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.224
And the child is a person at conception, it is not a person
00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:42.525
At conception, it is not a person when it is born,
00:06:42.592 --> 00:06:43.759
It is not a person when it is born, it's a person at conception,
00:06:43.826 --> 00:06:45.595
When it is born, it's a person at conception, when that child
00:06:45.661 --> 00:06:48.130
It's a person at conception, when that child goes to heaven as a person,
00:06:48.197 --> 00:06:51.601
When that child goes to heaven as a person, one day, moms,
00:06:51.667 --> 00:06:53.202
Goes to heaven as a person, one day, moms, you may hold that child
00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:54.537
One day, moms, you may hold that child in your arms again.
00:06:54.604 --> 00:06:55.938
You may hold that child in your arms again. and it's such
00:06:56.005 --> 00:06:57.273
In your arms again. and it's such an overwhelming thought
00:06:57.340 --> 00:06:58.508
And it's such an overwhelming thought to so many mothers
00:06:58.574 --> 00:06:59.809
An overwhelming thought to so many mothers who wish they could go back
00:06:59.876 --> 00:07:01.344
To so many mothers who wish they could go back and rewrite their history.
00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:03.679
Who wish they could go back and rewrite their history. the bible tells us
00:07:03.746 --> 00:07:05.081
And rewrite their history. the bible tells us that we have a gracious god
00:07:05.147 --> 00:07:06.549
The bible tells us that we have a gracious god and the reason
00:07:06.616 --> 00:07:07.917
That we have a gracious god and the reason people don't go to heaven
00:07:07.984 --> 00:07:09.185
And the reason people don't go to heaven is because they don't believe
00:07:09.252 --> 00:07:10.453
People don't go to heaven is because they don't believe and they reject christ.
00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:11.554
Is because they don't believe and they reject christ. and when a child is little
00:07:11.621 --> 00:07:12.722
And they reject christ. and when a child is little they have no possibility
00:07:12.788 --> 00:07:13.956
And when a child is little they have no possibility of doing that.
00:07:14.023 --> 00:07:15.157
They have no possibility of doing that. so they're saved under
00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:16.492
Of doing that. so they're saved under the blood of jesus christ.
00:07:16.559 --> 00:07:17.760
So they're saved under the blood of jesus christ. i believe david's statement
00:07:17.827 --> 00:07:18.928
The blood of jesus christ. i believe david's statement in the old testament
00:07:18.995 --> 00:07:20.263
I believe david's statement in the old testament is an exclamation point
00:07:20.329 --> 00:07:21.497
In the old testament is an exclamation point against that.
00:07:21.564 --> 00:07:22.698
Is an exclamation point against that. james: i agree.
00:07:22.765 --> 00:07:23.933
Against that. james: i agree. don't you appreciate
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.268
James: i agree. don't you appreciate what you just heard?
00:07:25.334 --> 00:07:26.335
Don't you appreciate what you just heard? i agree 100 percent.
00:07:26.402 --> 00:07:27.503
What you just heard? i agree 100 percent. [applause]
00:07:27.570 --> 00:07:29.005
I agree 100 percent. [applause] i was a real prospect
00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:31.474
Because my mother
00:07:32.742 --> 00:07:33.809
Because my mother was raped at 40
00:07:33.876 --> 00:07:34.977
Was raped at 40 as a hospice nurse.
00:07:35.044 --> 00:07:36.879
As a hospice nurse. most of all of you heard it;
00:07:36.946 --> 00:07:38.080
The alcoholic son
00:07:39.682 --> 00:07:40.983
The alcoholic son forced himself on her
00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:42.118
The alcoholic son forced himself on her and she conceived
00:07:42.184 --> 00:07:43.486
Forced himself on her and she conceived her first child.
00:07:43.553 --> 00:07:44.854
And she conceived her first child. she went to have an abortion
00:07:44.921 --> 00:07:46.389
Her first child. she went to have an abortion and the doctor
00:07:46.455 --> 00:07:47.757
She went to have an abortion and the doctor refused to do it.
00:07:47.823 --> 00:07:48.958
And the doctor refused to do it. i got really scolded
00:07:49.025 --> 00:07:50.092
Refused to do it. i got really scolded by somebody
00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:51.761
I got really scolded by somebody who heard my story
00:07:51.827 --> 00:07:53.062
By somebody who heard my story and that my mother went home
00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:54.363
Who heard my story and that my mother went home and gave birth to the baby
00:07:54.430 --> 00:07:55.731
And that my mother went home and gave birth to the baby and she was cursing me
00:07:55.798 --> 00:07:57.099
And gave birth to the baby and she was cursing me for thinking
00:07:57.166 --> 00:07:58.534
And she was cursing me for thinking that that was good
00:07:58.601 --> 00:07:59.835
For thinking that that was good that she went home
00:07:59.902 --> 00:08:01.103
That that was good that she went home and didn't kill the baby.
00:08:01.170 --> 00:08:02.238
That she went home and didn't kill the baby. and the doctor was crazy
00:08:02.305 --> 00:08:03.606
And didn't kill the baby. and the doctor was crazy and they made this woman
00:08:03.673 --> 00:08:04.974
And the doctor was crazy and they made this woman who was raped
00:08:05.041 --> 00:08:06.175
And they made this woman who was raped have this baby.
00:08:06.242 --> 00:08:07.443
Who was raped have this baby. let's just listen
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:08.811
Have this baby. let's just listen to the whole story.
00:08:08.878 --> 00:08:09.946
Let's just listen to the whole story. let's go ahead
00:08:10.012 --> 00:08:11.347
To the whole story. let's go ahead and listen to it
00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:12.515
Let's go ahead and listen to it because i really believe
00:08:12.582 --> 00:08:13.916
And listen to it because i really believe this is key.
00:08:13.983 --> 00:08:15.117
Because i really believe this is key. the preciousness and potential
00:08:15.184 --> 00:08:16.619
This is key. the preciousness and potential of every life,
00:08:16.686 --> 00:08:18.187
The preciousness and potential of every life, every little baby from
00:08:18.254 --> 00:08:19.789
Of every life, every little baby from the moment they're conceived,
00:08:19.855 --> 00:08:21.123
Every little baby from the moment they're conceived, god knows exactly
00:08:21.190 --> 00:08:22.325
The moment they're conceived, god knows exactly what they're like.
00:08:22.391 --> 00:08:23.492
God knows exactly what they're like. he knows them.
00:08:23.559 --> 00:08:24.860
What they're like. he knows them. that baby has potential.
00:08:24.927 --> 00:08:26.095
He knows them. that baby has potential. i believe that doctor,
00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:27.630
That baby has potential. i believe that doctor, why would he look
00:08:27.697 --> 00:08:28.864
I believe that doctor, why would he look at that mother, 40 years old,
00:08:28.931 --> 00:08:29.999
Why would he look at that mother, 40 years old, no husband, no steady job,
00:08:30.066 --> 00:08:32.635
At that mother, 40 years old, no husband, no steady job, had been forced and not do it?
00:08:32.702 --> 00:08:35.204
No husband, no steady job, had been forced and not do it? she said,
00:08:35.271 --> 00:08:36.439
Had been forced and not do it? she said, "oh, that's just terrible!"
00:08:36.505 --> 00:08:37.707
She said, "oh, that's just terrible!" maybe he thought possibility,
00:08:37.773 --> 00:08:40.509
"oh, that's just terrible!" maybe he thought possibility, potential, promise.
00:08:40.576 --> 00:08:41.944
Maybe he thought possibility, potential, promise. you don't know
00:08:42.011 --> 00:08:43.079
Potential, promise. you don't know what he thought.
00:08:43.145 --> 00:08:44.213
You don't know what he thought. but let me tell you
00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:45.348
What he thought. but let me tell you what the woman did.
00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:46.482
But let me tell you what the woman did. the woman who has been raped.
00:08:46.549 --> 00:08:47.617
What the woman did. the woman who has been raped. she said she went home
00:08:47.683 --> 00:08:48.751
The woman who has been raped. she said she went home to the place she was working
00:08:48.818 --> 00:08:49.919
She said she went home to the place she was working and they had a porch.
00:08:49.986 --> 00:08:51.053
To the place she was working and they had a porch. she sat on the porch
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.188
And they had a porch. she sat on the porch and she bowed her head
00:08:52.254 --> 00:08:53.322
She sat on the porch and she bowed her head and she prayed.
00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:54.457
And she bowed her head and she prayed. and this woman in a mess
00:08:54.523 --> 00:08:56.525
And she prayed. and this woman in a mess said god said,
00:08:56.592 --> 00:08:58.427
And this woman in a mess said god said, "have this baby.
00:08:58.494 --> 00:09:00.196
Said god said, "have this baby. this baby will bring joy
00:09:00.262 --> 00:09:01.797
"have this baby. this baby will bring joy to the world."
00:09:01.864 --> 00:09:03.332
This baby will bring joy to the world." who would have ever thought
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.235
To the world." who would have ever thought the two of us two of us
00:09:06.302 --> 00:09:07.637
Who would have ever thought the two of us two of us could bring so much joy
00:09:07.703 --> 00:09:08.938
The two of us two of us could bring so much joy to the world
00:09:09.005 --> 00:09:10.239
Could bring so much joy to the world by pointing them
00:09:10.306 --> 00:09:11.674
To the world by pointing them to the joy of the lord, jesus?
00:09:11.741 --> 00:09:13.042
By pointing them to the joy of the lord, jesus? so you see,
00:09:13.109 --> 00:09:14.343
To the joy of the lord, jesus? so you see, if people would pray
00:09:14.410 --> 00:09:16.012
So you see, if people would pray about the potential
00:09:16.078 --> 00:09:17.313
If people would pray about the potential and the promise in the womb
00:09:17.380 --> 00:09:19.815
About the potential and the promise in the womb there would be
00:09:19.882 --> 00:09:21.083
And the promise in the womb there would be a whole lot more decisions
00:09:21.150 --> 00:09:22.184
There would be a whole lot more decisions made like that.
00:09:22.251 --> 00:09:23.386
A whole lot more decisions made like that. and that's what i'm really
00:09:23.452 --> 00:09:24.654
Made like that. and that's what i'm really asking people to do.
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.122
And that's what i'm really asking people to do. so you have a message of hope
00:09:26.188 --> 00:09:28.024
Asking people to do. so you have a message of hope and healing every time
00:09:28.090 --> 00:09:29.759
So you have a message of hope and healing every time you stand up and speak.
00:09:29.825 --> 00:09:32.261
And healing every time you stand up and speak. you know that people ask
00:09:32.328 --> 00:09:34.230
You stand up and speak. you know that people ask about what happens
00:09:34.296 --> 00:09:35.698
You know that people ask about what happens to our bodies in heaven.
00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:37.166
About what happens to our bodies in heaven. what goes on there,
00:09:37.233 --> 00:09:38.868
To our bodies in heaven. what goes on there, as though that matters
00:09:38.934 --> 00:09:40.403
What goes on there, as though that matters and it does
00:09:40.469 --> 00:09:41.804
As though that matters and it does because it matters to people.
00:09:41.871 --> 00:09:43.005
And it does because it matters to people. so if it matters to people
00:09:43.072 --> 00:09:44.206
Because it matters to people. so if it matters to people then you've been trying
00:09:44.273 --> 00:09:45.641
So if it matters to people then you've been trying to find the answer for people
00:09:45.708 --> 00:09:47.610
Then you've been trying to find the answer for people believing god's given us
00:09:47.677 --> 00:09:48.844
To find the answer for people believing god's given us the answer.
00:09:48.911 --> 00:09:50.246
David: well,
00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:52.848
David: well, you know the bible teaches us
00:09:52.915 --> 00:09:54.083
You know the bible teaches us that when we trust
00:09:54.150 --> 00:09:55.317
That when we trust jesus christ
00:09:55.384 --> 00:09:56.485
Jesus christ as our personal savior,
00:09:56.552 --> 00:09:57.586
Is going to come back
00:09:58.821 --> 00:09:59.889
Is going to come back and receive us to himself
00:09:59.955 --> 00:10:01.057
Is going to come back and receive us to himself in the rapture.
00:10:01.123 --> 00:10:02.258
And receive us to himself in the rapture. and the bible teaches that
00:10:02.324 --> 00:10:03.459
In the rapture. and the bible teaches that when the rapture comes
00:10:03.526 --> 00:10:04.660
And the bible teaches that when the rapture comes those who have died
00:10:04.727 --> 00:10:05.895
When the rapture comes those who have died before jesus comes back,
00:10:05.961 --> 00:10:07.129
Those who have died before jesus comes back, will be raised first,
00:10:07.196 --> 00:10:08.531
Before jesus comes back, will be raised first, and in their resurrection
00:10:08.597 --> 00:10:10.032
Will be raised first, and in their resurrection they will have
00:10:10.099 --> 00:10:11.367
And in their resurrection they will have a new resurrection body,
00:10:11.434 --> 00:10:13.169
They will have a new resurrection body, like unto the body
00:10:13.235 --> 00:10:14.570
A new resurrection body, like unto the body of the lord jesus christ
00:10:14.637 --> 00:10:15.771
Like unto the body of the lord jesus christ when he came out of the grave.
00:10:15.838 --> 00:10:17.273
Of the lord jesus christ when he came out of the grave. and those of us who are alive
00:10:17.339 --> 00:10:19.141
When he came out of the grave. and those of us who are alive and still are on this earth,
00:10:19.208 --> 00:10:20.876
And those of us who are alive and still are on this earth, philippians tells us
00:10:20.943 --> 00:10:22.278
And still are on this earth, philippians tells us our lowly bodies
00:10:22.344 --> 00:10:23.913
Philippians tells us our lowly bodies are going to be changed
00:10:23.979 --> 00:10:25.347
Our lowly bodies are going to be changed into the likeness of the body
00:10:25.414 --> 00:10:26.849
Are going to be changed into the likeness of the body of jesus christ.
00:10:26.916 --> 00:10:28.317
Into the likeness of the body of jesus christ. so i have a chapter
00:10:28.384 --> 00:10:29.552
Of jesus christ. so i have a chapter in this book called,
00:10:29.618 --> 00:10:30.886
So i have a chapter in this book called, "the extreme makeover."
00:10:30.953 --> 00:10:32.221
In this book called, "the extreme makeover." [laughter]
00:10:32.288 --> 00:10:33.689
"the extreme makeover." [laughter] i read someplace about
00:10:33.756 --> 00:10:34.890
[laughter] i read someplace about how many billions of dollars
00:10:34.957 --> 00:10:36.092
I read someplace about how many billions of dollars are spent every year
00:10:36.158 --> 00:10:37.526
How many billions of dollars are spent every year on cosmetics and surgery
00:10:37.593 --> 00:10:38.928
Are spent every year on cosmetics and surgery and everything,
00:10:38.994 --> 00:10:40.296
On cosmetics and surgery and everything, trying to make our bodies
00:10:40.362 --> 00:10:41.664
And everything, trying to make our bodies look better.
00:10:41.731 --> 00:10:43.032
Trying to make our bodies look better. and of course,
00:10:43.099 --> 00:10:44.400
Look better. and of course, as you get older,
00:10:44.467 --> 00:10:45.601
And of course, as you get older, i used to have --
00:10:45.668 --> 00:10:46.802
As you get older, i used to have -- i had a friend
00:10:46.869 --> 00:10:48.037
I used to have -- i had a friend who was my pastor
00:10:48.104 --> 00:10:49.271
I had a friend who was my pastor in fort wayne or in san diego,
00:10:49.338 --> 00:10:50.506
Who was my pastor in fort wayne or in san diego, was tim lahaye.
00:10:50.573 --> 00:10:51.640
In fort wayne or in san diego, was tim lahaye. he used to say to women
00:10:51.707 --> 00:10:53.008
Was tim lahaye. he used to say to women who were criticized
00:10:53.075 --> 00:10:54.276
He used to say to women who were criticized for wearing makeup,
00:10:54.343 --> 00:10:55.344
Who were criticized for wearing makeup, he would say,
00:10:55.411 --> 00:10:56.412
For wearing makeup, he would say, "if the barn needs painting,
00:10:56.479 --> 00:10:57.546
He would say, "if the barn needs painting, paint the barn!"
00:10:57.613 --> 00:10:58.781
"if the barn needs painting, paint the barn!" [laughter]
00:10:58.848 --> 00:11:00.883
Paint the barn!" [laughter] james: i remember him
00:11:00.950 --> 00:11:02.084
[laughter] james: i remember him saying it.
00:11:02.151 --> 00:11:04.520
James: i remember him saying it. david: and what we all know
00:11:04.587 --> 00:11:06.655
Saying it. david: and what we all know is we hunger for that.
00:11:06.722 --> 00:11:08.324
David: and what we all know is we hunger for that. when we get to heaven
00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:09.625
Is we hunger for that. when we get to heaven we are going to have bodies
00:11:09.692 --> 00:11:10.926
When we get to heaven we are going to have bodies that are supernatural bodies
00:11:10.993 --> 00:11:12.261
We are going to have bodies that are supernatural bodies just like
00:11:12.328 --> 00:11:13.696
That are supernatural bodies just like the lord jesus christ.
00:11:13.763 --> 00:11:14.797
Just like the lord jesus christ. on the way up,
00:11:14.864 --> 00:11:15.965
The lord jesus christ. on the way up, we're going to be changed
00:11:16.031 --> 00:11:17.199
On the way up, we're going to be changed and we're going
00:11:17.266 --> 00:11:18.534
We're going to be changed and we're going to be made like christ
00:11:18.601 --> 00:11:19.935
And we're going to be made like christ and that is a wonderful hope.
00:11:20.002 --> 00:11:21.337
To be made like christ and that is a wonderful hope. if you're going through stuff
00:11:21.403 --> 00:11:22.638
And that is a wonderful hope. if you're going through stuff right now, some people,
00:11:22.705 --> 00:11:23.939
If you're going through stuff right now, some people, my daughter,
00:11:24.006 --> 00:11:25.207
Right now, some people, my daughter, my oldest daughter has m.s.
00:11:25.274 --> 00:11:26.542
My daughter, my oldest daughter has m.s. there is no really known cure
00:11:26.609 --> 00:11:27.810
My oldest daughter has m.s. there is no really known cure for that right now.
00:11:27.877 --> 00:11:29.078
There is no really known cure for that right now. but one day,
00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:30.346
For that right now. but one day, she is going to be made whole
00:11:30.412 --> 00:11:31.580
But one day, she is going to be made whole and that's a great hope
00:11:31.647 --> 00:11:33.282
James: when we hear that
00:11:35.017 --> 00:11:37.520
James: when we hear that there's a new heaven
00:11:37.586 --> 00:11:38.754
There's a new heaven and a new earth --
00:11:38.821 --> 00:11:41.724
I'm ready for correction --
00:11:43.325 --> 00:11:44.693
I'm ready for correction -- i think the lord
00:11:44.760 --> 00:11:45.895
I'm ready for correction -- i think the lord liked the earth he made.
00:11:45.961 --> 00:11:47.763
I think the lord liked the earth he made. i think the enemy has made
00:11:47.830 --> 00:11:48.998
Liked the earth he made. i think the enemy has made a mess on this earth he made
00:11:49.064 --> 00:11:50.099
I think the enemy has made a mess on this earth he made and we've allowed some of it
00:11:50.166 --> 00:11:51.367
A mess on this earth he made and we've allowed some of it to take place
00:11:51.433 --> 00:11:52.535
And we've allowed some of it to take place that we didn't need to.
00:11:52.601 --> 00:11:53.669
To take place that we didn't need to. we don't need the enemy
00:11:53.736 --> 00:11:54.870
That we didn't need to. we don't need the enemy to ruin our marriages,
00:11:54.937 --> 00:11:56.105
We don't need the enemy to ruin our marriages, our families,
00:11:56.172 --> 00:11:57.406
To ruin our marriages, our families, and ruin our subdivisions;
00:11:57.473 --> 00:11:58.641
Our families, and ruin our subdivisions; we can be good overseers
00:11:58.707 --> 00:11:59.909
And ruin our subdivisions; we can be good overseers and we should do that.
00:11:59.975 --> 00:12:01.177
We can be good overseers and we should do that. but you know, the point is,
00:12:01.243 --> 00:12:03.045
And we should do that. but you know, the point is, is this new heaven
00:12:03.112 --> 00:12:05.147
But you know, the point is, is this new heaven and new earth,
00:12:05.214 --> 00:12:06.448
Is this new heaven and new earth, what do you see there?
00:12:06.515 --> 00:12:07.783
And new earth, what do you see there? david: well, i think
00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:08.951
What do you see there? david: well, i think the best term to use for that
00:12:09.018 --> 00:12:10.152
David: well, i think the best term to use for that is the lord's going
00:12:10.219 --> 00:12:11.420
The best term to use for that is the lord's going to renovate the earth.
00:12:11.487 --> 00:12:13.222
Is the lord's going to renovate the earth. donna and i have
00:12:13.289 --> 00:12:14.323
To renovate the earth. donna and i have a little place
00:12:14.390 --> 00:12:15.491
Donna and i have a little place on the coronado island
00:12:15.558 --> 00:12:16.559
A little place on the coronado island and this last year
00:12:16.625 --> 00:12:17.760
On the coronado island and this last year we totally gutted it
00:12:17.827 --> 00:12:19.028
And this last year we totally gutted it and renovated it.
00:12:19.094 --> 00:12:20.262
We totally gutted it and renovated it. i remember walking over there
00:12:20.329 --> 00:12:21.330
And renovated it. i remember walking over there one day, james,
00:12:21.397 --> 00:12:22.498
I remember walking over there one day, james, and walking in
00:12:22.565 --> 00:12:23.566
One day, james, and walking in and there's wires hanging
00:12:23.632 --> 00:12:24.700
And walking in and there's wires hanging from the ceiling
00:12:24.767 --> 00:12:26.468
And there's wires hanging from the ceiling and the windows are gone.
00:12:26.535 --> 00:12:27.903
From the ceiling and the windows are gone. it's the same place,
00:12:27.970 --> 00:12:29.538
And the windows are gone. it's the same place, it's not any different
00:12:29.605 --> 00:12:30.706
It's the same place, it's not any different but we renovated that place
00:12:30.773 --> 00:12:33.142
It's not any different but we renovated that place and it's totally new.
00:12:33.209 --> 00:12:34.743
But we renovated that place and it's totally new. one day almighty god
00:12:34.810 --> 00:12:36.045
And it's totally new. one day almighty god is going to renovate
00:12:36.111 --> 00:12:37.313
One day almighty god is going to renovate this earth.
00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:38.447
Is going to renovate this earth. peter tells us
00:12:38.514 --> 00:12:39.615
This earth. peter tells us he is going to burn up
00:12:39.682 --> 00:12:40.883
Peter tells us he is going to burn up everything about the earth
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:42.117
He is going to burn up everything about the earth that is unrighteous
00:12:42.184 --> 00:12:43.452
Everything about the earth that is unrighteous and ungodly and he is
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.687
That is unrighteous and ungodly and he is going to recreate it.
00:12:44.753 --> 00:12:45.821
And ungodly and he is going to recreate it. the earth is actually
00:12:45.888 --> 00:12:48.357
Going to recreate it. the earth is actually the place where
00:12:48.424 --> 00:12:50.125
Is going to come and dwell.
00:12:51.427 --> 00:12:53.662
Is going to come and dwell. so some people think
00:12:53.729 --> 00:12:55.431
So some people think that god's going
00:12:55.497 --> 00:12:56.932
That god's going to burn the earth up
00:12:56.999 --> 00:12:58.334
And it will be gone.
00:12:59.702 --> 00:13:00.803
And it will be gone. that's not true.
00:13:00.870 --> 00:13:02.137
And it will be gone. that's not true. he's not going to destroy it,
00:13:02.204 --> 00:13:03.472
That's not true. he's not going to destroy it, he's going to renovate it.
00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.607
He's not going to destroy it, he's going to renovate it. and it's going to be
00:13:04.673 --> 00:13:05.741
He's going to renovate it. and it's going to be quite a renovation,
00:13:05.808 --> 00:13:06.842
And it's going to be quite a renovation, i want you to know.
00:13:06.909 --> 00:13:07.877
Quite a renovation, i want you to know. james: the restoration
00:13:07.943 --> 00:13:08.878
I want you to know. james: the restoration of all things
00:13:08.944 --> 00:13:09.945
James: the restoration of all things and it will be beautiful.
00:13:10.012 --> 00:13:11.013
Of all things and it will be beautiful. a lot of times when you see
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:12.214
And it will be beautiful. a lot of times when you see restoration in process
00:13:12.281 --> 00:13:13.315
A lot of times when you see restoration in process it looks more like destruction
00:13:13.382 --> 00:13:14.416
Restoration in process it looks more like destruction but it is actually the things
00:13:14.483 --> 00:13:15.417
It looks more like destruction but it is actually the things that need to be removed are
00:13:15.484 --> 00:13:16.452
But it is actually the things that need to be removed are being removed so the more
00:13:16.518 --> 00:13:17.519
That need to be removed are being removed so the more beautiful can be put in.
00:13:17.586 --> 00:13:18.654
Being removed so the more beautiful can be put in. fabulous!
00:13:18.721 --> 00:13:19.722
Beautiful can be put in. fabulous! the thing about it is
00:13:19.788 --> 00:13:20.956
Fabulous! the thing about it is when the bible talks
00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:22.258
The thing about it is when the bible talks about spending eternity
00:13:22.324 --> 00:13:24.793
When the bible talks about spending eternity worshipping god,
00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:25.961
About spending eternity worshipping god, and at least
00:13:26.028 --> 00:13:27.263
Worshipping god, and at least people ask about that.
00:13:27.329 --> 00:13:28.597
And at least people ask about that. and then another question
00:13:28.664 --> 00:13:29.865
People ask about that. and then another question that's asked,
00:13:29.932 --> 00:13:31.000
And then another question that's asked, have people been given
00:13:31.066 --> 00:13:32.301
That's asked, have people been given a glimpse of heaven?
00:13:32.368 --> 00:13:33.602
Have people been given a glimpse of heaven? we've actually had people here
00:13:33.669 --> 00:13:35.037
A glimpse of heaven? we've actually had people here who tell us they have
00:13:35.104 --> 00:13:36.338
We've actually had people here who tell us they have seen something in heaven.
00:13:36.405 --> 00:13:37.773
Who tell us they have seen something in heaven. some semblance of consistency
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.277
Seen something in heaven. some semblance of consistency sometimes makes you wonder,
00:13:41.343 --> 00:13:43.746
Some semblance of consistency sometimes makes you wonder, can you glimpse it?
00:13:43.812 --> 00:13:44.947
Sometimes makes you wonder, can you glimpse it? sometimes you think they've
00:13:45.014 --> 00:13:46.181
Can you glimpse it? sometimes you think they've actually seen something that
00:13:46.248 --> 00:13:47.483
Sometimes you think they've actually seen something that references something you've
00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:48.918
Actually seen something that references something you've read about in the bible.
00:13:48.984 --> 00:13:50.085
References something you've read about in the bible. what do you think
00:13:50.152 --> 00:13:51.287
Read about in the bible. what do you think about people seeing heaven?
00:13:51.353 --> 00:13:52.655
What do you think about people seeing heaven? i know you're kind of
00:13:52.721 --> 00:13:54.123
About people seeing heaven? i know you're kind of shaking your head,
00:13:54.189 --> 00:13:55.357
I know you're kind of shaking your head, is that wondering or what?
00:13:55.424 --> 00:13:56.392
Shaking your head, is that wondering or what? david: well, james,
00:13:56.458 --> 00:13:57.660
Is that wondering or what? david: well, james, it's a really hard question
00:13:57.726 --> 00:13:58.961
David: well, james, it's a really hard question because people tell you
00:13:59.028 --> 00:14:00.195
It's a really hard question because people tell you what they've seen.
00:14:00.262 --> 00:14:01.530
Because people tell you what they've seen. there's no biblical basis
00:14:01.597 --> 00:14:03.232
What they've seen. there's no biblical basis for people seeing heaven
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:05.567
There's no biblical basis for people seeing heaven before they go to heaven;
00:14:05.634 --> 00:14:07.136
For people seeing heaven before they go to heaven; that doesn't mean
00:14:07.202 --> 00:14:08.304
Before they go to heaven; that doesn't mean that it can't happen but
00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:09.471
That doesn't mean that it can't happen but i've never had that happen.
00:14:09.538 --> 00:14:10.773
That it can't happen but i've never had that happen. i don't have any way to know
00:14:10.839 --> 00:14:12.308
I've never had that happen. i don't have any way to know whether it is true or not.
00:14:12.374 --> 00:14:13.876
I don't have any way to know whether it is true or not. i've read the books.
00:14:13.943 --> 00:14:15.744
Whether it is true or not. i've read the books. a couple of them
00:14:15.811 --> 00:14:16.912
I've read the books. a couple of them have sold 30 million copies
00:14:16.979 --> 00:14:18.080
A couple of them have sold 30 million copies and they're very popular
00:14:18.147 --> 00:14:19.515
Have sold 30 million copies and they're very popular and everybody wants
00:14:19.581 --> 00:14:20.916
And they're very popular and everybody wants to hear the story.
00:14:20.983 --> 00:14:22.818
And everybody wants to hear the story. i think if we're smart
00:14:22.885 --> 00:14:25.955
To hear the story. i think if we're smart we can read it
00:14:26.021 --> 00:14:27.089
I think if we're smart we can read it and decide for ourselves.
00:14:27.156 --> 00:14:28.791
We can read it and decide for ourselves. but i like to focus
00:14:28.857 --> 00:14:30.726
And decide for ourselves. but i like to focus on what i know.
00:14:30.793 --> 00:14:32.728
But i like to focus on what i know. i know that one day
00:14:32.795 --> 00:14:33.963
On what i know. i know that one day i'm going to heaven
00:14:34.029 --> 00:14:34.964
And i know
00:14:35.064 --> 00:14:35.998
And i know the bible describes it
00:14:36.065 --> 00:14:37.032
That i'd rather take
00:14:38.233 --> 00:14:40.035
That we know is true,
00:14:42.171 --> 00:14:43.772
That we know is true, than perhaps rest upon --
00:14:43.839 --> 00:14:46.108
That we know is true, than perhaps rest upon -- let me ask you it this way.
00:14:46.175 --> 00:14:47.910
Than perhaps rest upon -- let me ask you it this way. if you have a choice between
00:14:47.977 --> 00:14:49.311
Let me ask you it this way. if you have a choice between having god tell you
00:14:49.378 --> 00:14:50.679
If you have a choice between having god tell you what heaven is like
00:14:50.746 --> 00:14:51.914
Having god tell you what heaven is like and somebody
00:14:51.981 --> 00:14:52.982
What heaven is like and somebody who says they've been there,
00:14:53.048 --> 00:14:54.016
And somebody who says they've been there, whose opinion
00:14:54.083 --> 00:14:55.184
Who says they've been there, whose opinion are you going to choose?
00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:56.318
Whose opinion are you going to choose? i'm going to choose
00:14:56.385 --> 00:14:57.519
Are you going to choose? i'm going to choose god's opinion.
00:14:57.586 --> 00:14:58.687
I'm going to choose god's opinion. i'm going to listen to god
00:14:58.754 --> 00:14:59.922
God's opinion. i'm going to listen to god and say, okay, this is what
00:14:59.989 --> 00:15:01.256
I'm going to listen to god and say, okay, this is what i'm looking forward to.
00:15:01.323 --> 00:15:02.691
And say, okay, this is what i'm looking forward to. anything other than that,
00:15:02.758 --> 00:15:04.927
I'm looking forward to. anything other than that, anything that comes short
00:15:04.994 --> 00:15:06.395
Anything other than that, anything that comes short of that,
00:15:06.462 --> 00:15:07.629
Anything that comes short of that, we're selling ourselves short.
00:15:07.696 --> 00:15:08.797
Of that, we're selling ourselves short. let's take what
00:15:08.864 --> 00:15:09.999
James: i don't have a problem
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:12.167
James: i don't have a problem though with somebody saying
00:15:12.234 --> 00:15:13.369
Though with somebody saying they saw something
00:15:13.435 --> 00:15:14.503
They saw something that gave them
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:15.637
That gave them a sense of peace
00:15:15.704 --> 00:15:16.939
Would you agree with that?
00:15:18.207 --> 00:15:19.408
Would you agree with that? we don't need to shatter
00:15:19.475 --> 00:15:20.843
Would you agree with that? we don't need to shatter somebody's hopes.
00:15:20.909 --> 00:15:22.011
We don't need to shatter somebody's hopes. david: if people tell me
00:15:22.077 --> 00:15:23.379
Somebody's hopes. david: if people tell me that they --
00:15:23.445 --> 00:15:24.747
David: if people tell me that they -- i mean you have some
00:15:24.813 --> 00:15:26.281
That they -- i mean you have some very famous people
00:15:26.348 --> 00:15:27.483
I mean you have some very famous people like charles wesley
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:28.951
Very famous people like charles wesley and charles spurgeon
00:15:29.018 --> 00:15:30.085
Like charles wesley and charles spurgeon and others
00:15:30.152 --> 00:15:31.220
And charles spurgeon and others who said they heard
00:15:31.286 --> 00:15:32.421
And others who said they heard the voice of god
00:15:32.488 --> 00:15:33.689
Who said they heard the voice of god and on their way up they...
00:15:33.756 --> 00:15:36.458
The voice of god and on their way up they... i think it was moody
00:15:36.525 --> 00:15:37.793
And on their way up they... i think it was moody who said,
00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:39.128
I think it was moody who said, "this is not something
00:15:39.194 --> 00:15:40.195
Who said, "this is not something to be afraid of.
00:15:40.262 --> 00:15:41.296
"this is not something to be afraid of. this is life!
00:15:41.363 --> 00:15:42.464
To be afraid of. this is life! this is wonderful!"
00:15:42.531 --> 00:15:43.632
This is life! this is wonderful!" i believe that can happen.
00:15:43.699 --> 00:15:44.800
This is wonderful!" i believe that can happen. and end of life experiences
00:15:44.867 --> 00:15:45.968
I believe that can happen. and end of life experiences can often be like that.
00:15:46.035 --> 00:15:47.136
And end of life experiences can often be like that. i just, i don't know
00:15:47.202 --> 00:15:49.138
Can often be like that. i just, i don't know what to say about the others.
00:15:49.204 --> 00:15:50.539
I just, i don't know what to say about the others. i'm just trying to be
00:15:50.606 --> 00:15:51.874
I don't know how to say
00:15:53.642 --> 00:15:54.910
I don't know how to say whether they're true or not.
00:15:54.977 --> 00:15:56.078
Whether they're true or not. i know that the people
00:15:56.145 --> 00:15:57.146
I know that the people who say that happened to them,
00:15:57.212 --> 00:15:58.280
Who say that happened to them, they believe it's true
00:15:58.347 --> 00:15:59.381
James: one of our best friends
00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:01.950
James: one of our best friends passed away in his,
00:16:02.017 --> 00:16:03.986
James: one of our best friends passed away in his, almost mid-90s
00:16:04.053 --> 00:16:08.490
Passed away in his, almost mid-90s and they were rolling,
00:16:08.557 --> 00:16:10.125
Almost mid-90s and they were rolling, an iphone tape,
00:16:10.192 --> 00:16:12.728
And they were rolling, an iphone tape, and he hadn't been able
00:16:12.795 --> 00:16:13.862
An iphone tape, and he hadn't been able to speak quite as coherently
00:16:13.929 --> 00:16:14.930
And he hadn't been able to speak quite as coherently for a while
00:16:14.997 --> 00:16:16.065
To speak quite as coherently for a while but all of the sudden
00:16:16.131 --> 00:16:17.733
For a while but all of the sudden he just looked up
00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:18.901
But all of the sudden he just looked up and he said,
00:16:18.967 --> 00:16:20.569
He just looked up and he said, "oh! don't you see them?"
00:16:20.636 --> 00:16:23.472
And he said, "oh! don't you see them?" and the interesting thing was,
00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:24.840
"oh! don't you see them?" and the interesting thing was, and it was just a beauty there
00:16:24.907 --> 00:16:26.075
And the interesting thing was, and it was just a beauty there and it really moved his wife
00:16:26.141 --> 00:16:27.676
And it was just a beauty there and it really moved his wife and her daughters.
00:16:27.743 --> 00:16:30.579
And it really moved his wife and her daughters. but i sat with johnny cash,
00:16:30.646 --> 00:16:32.147
And her daughters. but i sat with johnny cash, he sat before we had
00:16:32.214 --> 00:16:33.649
But i sat with johnny cash, he sat before we had this nice studio he sat
00:16:33.715 --> 00:16:34.917
He sat before we had this nice studio he sat in a very makeshift studio;
00:16:34.983 --> 00:16:36.218
This nice studio he sat in a very makeshift studio; johnny and i were
00:16:36.285 --> 00:16:37.419
In a very makeshift studio; johnny and i were very good friends.
00:16:37.486 --> 00:16:38.787
Johnny and i were very good friends. and i actually had him
00:16:38.854 --> 00:16:40.089
Very good friends. and i actually had him tell it to me
00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.356
And i actually had him tell it to me but i had him tell it
00:16:41.423 --> 00:16:42.691
Tell it to me but i had him tell it with his mom,
00:16:42.758 --> 00:16:43.959
But i had him tell it with his mom, and it was in the movie,
00:16:44.026 --> 00:16:45.327
With his mom, and it was in the movie, most of the man in black
00:16:45.394 --> 00:16:46.462
And it was in the movie, most of the man in black was not really typical
00:16:46.528 --> 00:16:47.663
Most of the man in black was not really typical of the way johnny really was,
00:16:47.729 --> 00:16:49.198
Was not really typical of the way johnny really was, sadly.
00:16:49.264 --> 00:16:50.933
Of the way johnny really was, sadly. but anyway, at the house,
00:16:50.999 --> 00:16:53.168
Sadly. but anyway, at the house, mama cash said,
00:16:53.235 --> 00:16:55.270
But anyway, at the house, mama cash said, when johnny's brother
00:16:55.337 --> 00:16:58.073
Mama cash said, when johnny's brother passed away,
00:16:58.140 --> 00:16:59.241
When johnny's brother passed away, cut with a saw
00:16:59.308 --> 00:17:00.476
Passed away, cut with a saw through his sternum
00:17:00.542 --> 00:17:01.510
Cut with a saw through his sternum at shop at school,
00:17:01.577 --> 00:17:03.112
Through his sternum at shop at school, and he was going to be
00:17:03.178 --> 00:17:04.513
At shop at school, and he was going to be a preacher.
00:17:04.580 --> 00:17:05.747
And he was going to be a preacher. he was unable to drink water
00:17:05.814 --> 00:17:06.915
A preacher. he was unable to drink water or anything,
00:17:06.982 --> 00:17:08.250
He was unable to drink water or anything, and they just watched him
00:17:08.317 --> 00:17:09.485
Or anything, and they just watched him there in the room.
00:17:09.551 --> 00:17:10.719
And they just watched him there in the room. and all of the sudden
00:17:10.786 --> 00:17:12.121
There in the room. and all of the sudden he looked up in the corner
00:17:12.187 --> 00:17:13.288
And all of the sudden he looked up in the corner of the room, and johnny,
00:17:13.355 --> 00:17:14.389
He looked up in the corner of the room, and johnny, boy, this just moved johnny.
00:17:14.456 --> 00:17:15.624
Of the room, and johnny, boy, this just moved johnny. johnny just started crying
00:17:15.691 --> 00:17:16.825
Boy, this just moved johnny. johnny just started crying the first time he told me this
00:17:16.892 --> 00:17:17.993
Johnny just started crying the first time he told me this because he told me
00:17:18.060 --> 00:17:19.194
The first time he told me this because he told me when we were alone,
00:17:19.261 --> 00:17:20.262
Because he told me when we were alone, he didn't cry as much
00:17:20.329 --> 00:17:21.463
When we were alone, he didn't cry as much when he told me on tv.
00:17:21.530 --> 00:17:22.598
He didn't cry as much when he told me on tv. but he said,
00:17:22.664 --> 00:17:23.765
When he told me on tv. but he said, "my brother looked up
00:17:23.832 --> 00:17:24.933
But he said, "my brother looked up in the corner and said,
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.201
"my brother looked up in the corner and said, 'mama, do you see them?
00:17:26.268 --> 00:17:27.503
In the corner and said, 'mama, do you see them? do you see them, mama?'"
00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:28.704
'mama, do you see them? do you see them, mama?'" and they looked in the corner
00:17:28.770 --> 00:17:29.738
Do you see them, mama?'" and they looked in the corner and johnny looked.
00:17:29.805 --> 00:17:30.839
And they looked in the corner and johnny looked. he said,
00:17:30.906 --> 00:17:32.040
And johnny looked. he said, "don't you see them?"
00:17:32.107 --> 00:17:33.208
He said, "don't you see them?" he said, "angels, mama!
00:17:33.275 --> 00:17:34.409
"don't you see them?" he said, "angels, mama! it's the angels."
00:17:34.476 --> 00:17:35.711
He said, "angels, mama! it's the angels." and that's where he left.
00:17:35.777 --> 00:17:37.045
It's the angels." and that's where he left. i think that to me
00:17:37.112 --> 00:17:38.280
And that's where he left. i think that to me sounds like...
00:17:38.347 --> 00:17:39.448
I think that to me sounds like... david: that actually is based
00:17:39.515 --> 00:17:40.716
Sounds like... david: that actually is based on a very solid basis.
00:17:40.782 --> 00:17:41.984
David: that actually is based on a very solid basis. when lazarus
00:17:42.050 --> 00:17:43.152
On a very solid basis. when lazarus and the rich man died
00:17:43.218 --> 00:17:44.920
When lazarus and the rich man died the bible says
00:17:44.987 --> 00:17:46.021
And the rich man died the bible says that the angels came
00:17:46.088 --> 00:17:47.089
The bible says that the angels came and carried lazarus
00:17:47.156 --> 00:17:48.190
That the angels came and carried lazarus to the bosom of abraham.
00:17:48.257 --> 00:17:49.424
And carried lazarus to the bosom of abraham. and then it just says,
00:17:49.491 --> 00:17:50.626
To the bosom of abraham. and then it just says, "the rich man died."
00:17:50.692 --> 00:17:52.961
That's what it says.
00:17:53.061 --> 00:17:54.196
That's what it says. he was rich in this life
00:17:54.263 --> 00:17:55.464
Lazarus was poor in this life
00:17:57.432 --> 00:17:58.700
Lazarus was poor in this life but he was rich
00:17:58.767 --> 00:17:59.902
And the angels...
00:18:01.270 --> 00:18:02.304
And the angels... i've shared that
00:18:02.371 --> 00:18:03.505

When a believer dies the angels come to carry them to heaven,
00:18:23.392 --> 00:18:24.426
The angels come to carry them to heaven, carry their soul
00:18:24.493 --> 00:18:25.527
To carry them to heaven, carry their soul and spirit to heaven.
00:18:25.594 --> 00:18:26.628

The only way to heaven is through jesus. no one comes to the father

Is through jesus. no one comes to the father but by jesus.
00:18:37.206 --> 00:18:38.373
No one comes to the father but by jesus. it is not religion.
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.641
But by jesus. it is not religion. it is not a church membership.

We're asking you right now
00:19:24.653 --> 00:19:25.921
To help us drill water wells
00:19:25.988 --> 00:19:28.123
Because of god's love
00:19:28.190 --> 00:19:29.458
Flowing through you.
00:19:29.524 --> 00:19:30.892
It's clean water.
00:19:30.959 --> 00:19:32.494
You paid for
00:19:32.561 --> 00:19:33.695
The drilling rigs.
00:19:33.762 --> 00:19:34.896
Very expensive -- hundreds
00:19:34.963 --> 00:19:36.164
Of thousands of dollars
00:19:36.231 --> 00:19:37.466
For those rigs.
00:19:37.532 --> 00:19:38.600
Love, through you, paid for it
00:19:38.667 --> 00:19:39.835
-- people like you.
00:19:39.901 --> 00:19:41.236
We can drill the well.
00:19:41.303 --> 00:19:43.372
It costs $4800
00:19:43.438 --> 00:19:44.940
To drill a well.
00:19:45.007 --> 00:19:46.275
That could be one of the
00:19:46.341 --> 00:19:47.409
Greatest joys of your life
00:19:47.476 --> 00:19:48.644
To give a whole village
00:19:48.710 --> 00:19:50.045
A well.
00:19:50.112 --> 00:19:51.346
You could give part of a well.
00:19:51.413 --> 00:19:52.648
We find many people
00:19:52.714 --> 00:19:53.782
Will give $1200
00:19:53.849 --> 00:19:55.050
And pray for three others
00:19:55.117 --> 00:19:56.285
To join them
00:19:56.351 --> 00:19:57.452
Or $2400
00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.654
And pray for one to join.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.955
But most of the money comes
00:20:00.022 --> 00:20:01.790
From people who understand
00:20:01.857 --> 00:20:03.158
That... now this is not
00:20:03.225 --> 00:20:04.826
An exaggeration.
00:20:04.893 --> 00:20:06.261
If you break it down,
00:20:06.328 --> 00:20:07.562
$48 will give ten people water
00:20:07.629 --> 00:20:10.198
The rest of their life.
00:20:10.265 --> 00:20:11.633
You multiply that out.
00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:13.969
This is a miracle
00:20:14.036 --> 00:20:15.871
But it does work.
00:20:15.937 --> 00:20:17.105
It is not wishful thinking.
00:20:17.172 --> 00:20:18.640
Would you go right now online
00:20:18.707 --> 00:20:19.841
Or dial that number
00:20:19.908 --> 00:20:21.209

00:20:21.276 --> 00:20:22.577

00:20:22.644 --> 00:20:23.745
And use it like a check?
00:20:23.812 --> 00:20:24.846
By the way, that's the way
00:20:24.913 --> 00:20:25.981
You should always

Knowing that you're giving
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:32.954

The problem was the speakers. from the beginning there was an awful
00:23:19.020 --> 00:23:20.155
From the beginning there was an awful super distracting
00:23:20.222 --> 00:23:21.490
There was an awful super distracting crackle sound from them
00:23:21.556 --> 00:23:22.757
Super distracting crackle sound from them like somebody was
00:23:22.824 --> 00:23:23.792
Crackle sound from them like somebody was wadding up paper slowly.
00:23:23.859 --> 00:23:26.094
Like somebody was wadding up paper slowly. i hoped the noise
00:23:26.161 --> 00:23:27.329
Wadding up paper slowly. i hoped the noise would work itself out
00:23:27.395 --> 00:23:28.497
I hoped the noise would work itself out within a few minutes.
00:23:28.563 --> 00:23:29.865
Would work itself out within a few minutes. it didn't.
00:23:29.931 --> 00:23:31.099
Within a few minutes. it didn't. fifteen minutes in
00:23:31.166 --> 00:23:32.334
It didn't. fifteen minutes in i decided that somebody
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:33.535
Fifteen minutes in i decided that somebody ought to tell a manager and
00:23:33.602 --> 00:23:34.736
I decided that somebody ought to tell a manager and that somebody would be me.
00:23:34.803 --> 00:23:37.005
Ought to tell a manager and that somebody would be me. i also decided that
00:23:37.072 --> 00:23:38.039
That somebody would be me. i also decided that i would tell them
00:23:38.106 --> 00:23:39.140
I also decided that i would tell them to give me a refund
00:23:39.207 --> 00:23:40.175
I would tell them to give me a refund or a voucher for the trouble.
00:23:40.242 --> 00:23:42.043
To give me a refund or a voucher for the trouble. i never got that far.
00:23:42.110 --> 00:23:43.845
Or a voucher for the trouble. i never got that far. in fact, i only got as far
00:23:43.912 --> 00:23:45.013
I never got that far. in fact, i only got as far as a few seats down
00:23:45.080 --> 00:23:46.515
In fact, i only got as far as a few seats down when in my mind i heard
00:23:46.581 --> 00:23:49.618
As a few seats down when in my mind i heard my story is always told
00:23:49.684 --> 00:23:51.253
When in my mind i heard my story is always told through imperfect speakers.
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:54.322
My story is always told through imperfect speakers. let's just say
00:23:54.389 --> 00:23:55.457
Through imperfect speakers. let's just say no refund needed.
00:23:55.524 --> 00:23:56.825
Let's just say no refund needed. i sat right back down
00:23:56.892 --> 00:23:58.159
No refund needed. i sat right back down and i shut my mouth.
00:23:58.226 --> 00:24:00.161
I sat right back down and i shut my mouth. think about that.
00:24:00.228 --> 00:24:01.863
And i shut my mouth. think about that. "my story is always told
00:24:01.930 --> 00:24:03.632
Think about that. "my story is always told through imperfect speakers."
00:24:03.698 --> 00:24:06.468
"my story is always told through imperfect speakers." that flies in the face
00:24:06.535 --> 00:24:09.104
Through imperfect speakers." that flies in the face of what i've believed
00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:10.372
That flies in the face of what i've believed since potty training
00:24:10.438 --> 00:24:11.573
Of what i've believed since potty training that god expected of me.
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:13.341
Since potty training that god expected of me. for years, i believed
00:24:13.408 --> 00:24:14.509
That god expected of me. for years, i believed god desires -
00:24:14.576 --> 00:24:15.677
For years, i believed god desires - demands perfection
00:24:15.744 --> 00:24:17.879
God desires - demands perfection or at the very least,
00:24:17.946 --> 00:24:19.347
Demands perfection or at the very least, he wants to see
00:24:19.414 --> 00:24:20.582
Or at the very least, he wants to see a strong effort toward it.
00:24:20.649 --> 00:24:22.117
He wants to see a strong effort toward it. it turns out that belief
00:24:22.183 --> 00:24:23.385
A strong effort toward it. it turns out that belief was behind all the insecurity
00:24:23.451 --> 00:24:24.586
It turns out that belief was behind all the insecurity i had in my relationship
00:24:24.653 --> 00:24:25.820
Was behind all the insecurity i had in my relationship with god.
00:24:25.887 --> 00:24:27.155
I had in my relationship with god. i felt loved and close
00:24:27.222 --> 00:24:29.291
With god. i felt loved and close to him when i did good
00:24:29.357 --> 00:24:30.792
I felt loved and close to him when i did good or tried hard.
00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:32.427
To him when i did good or tried hard. i felt unloved and distant
00:24:32.494 --> 00:24:34.095
Or tried hard. i felt unloved and distant from him when i didn't
00:24:34.162 --> 00:24:35.196
I felt unloved and distant from him when i didn't do so good.
00:24:35.263 --> 00:24:36.898
From him when i didn't do so good. can you relate?
00:24:36.965 --> 00:24:38.533
Do so good. can you relate? here's what you need to know.
00:24:38.600 --> 00:24:40.402
To feel more loved by god
00:24:42.470 --> 00:24:43.705
To feel more loved by god than ever, closer to him
00:24:43.772 --> 00:24:45.240
Than ever, closer to him than ever, and completely
00:24:45.307 --> 00:24:46.675
Than ever, and completely secure in my relationship
00:24:46.741 --> 00:24:48.577
Secure in my relationship with him.
00:24:48.643 --> 00:24:49.844
Of my book,
00:24:51.179 --> 00:24:52.213
Of my book, permission to be imperfect.
00:24:52.314 --> 00:24:53.615
Of my book, permission to be imperfect. it is this: god knows
00:24:53.682 --> 00:24:55.850
Permission to be imperfect. it is this: god knows that humans can't be perfect.
00:24:55.917 --> 00:24:58.620
It is this: god knows that humans can't be perfect. i mean, adam and eve
00:24:58.687 --> 00:25:00.121
That humans can't be perfect. i mean, adam and eve couldn't even resist
00:25:00.188 --> 00:25:01.222
I mean, adam and eve couldn't even resist a piece of fruit.
00:25:01.289 --> 00:25:02.657
Couldn't even resist a piece of fruit. not a single person
00:25:02.724 --> 00:25:03.858
A piece of fruit. not a single person has been able to uphold
00:25:03.925 --> 00:25:05.260
Not a single person has been able to uphold even one of the
00:25:05.327 --> 00:25:06.528
Has been able to uphold even one of the ten commandments perfectly.
00:25:06.595 --> 00:25:08.830
Even one of the ten commandments perfectly. the total incapacity
00:25:08.897 --> 00:25:11.766
Ten commandments perfectly. the total incapacity of humans to be perfect
00:25:11.833 --> 00:25:13.201
The total incapacity of humans to be perfect is the reason
00:25:13.268 --> 00:25:14.336
Of humans to be perfect is the reason why god sent jesus.
00:25:14.402 --> 00:25:16.071
Is the reason why god sent jesus. do you get that?
00:25:16.137 --> 00:25:17.739
Why god sent jesus. do you get that? if there were even a chance
00:25:17.806 --> 00:25:19.608
Do you get that? if there were even a chance you or i could never fail
00:25:19.674 --> 00:25:22.010
If there were even a chance you or i could never fail or never fall
00:25:22.077 --> 00:25:23.278
You or i could never fail or never fall or never have a flaw,
00:25:23.345 --> 00:25:24.879
Or never fall or never have a flaw, it would have been unnecessary
00:25:24.946 --> 00:25:26.247
Or never have a flaw, it would have been unnecessary for jesus to die.
00:25:26.314 --> 00:25:28.450
It would have been unnecessary for jesus to die. but god knows
00:25:28.516 --> 00:25:29.684
For jesus to die. but god knows there is not a chance.
00:25:29.751 --> 00:25:31.252
But god knows there is not a chance. so he sent jesus
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:32.454
There is not a chance. so he sent jesus to do it all for us.
00:25:32.520 --> 00:25:33.822
So he sent jesus to do it all for us. and he did.
00:25:33.888 --> 00:25:35.056
To do it all for us. and he did. jesus met god's standards
00:25:35.123 --> 00:25:36.191
And he did. jesus met god's standards for us.
00:25:36.257 --> 00:25:37.592
Jesus met god's standards for us. that's why he's our savior.
00:25:37.659 --> 00:25:39.327
For us. that's why he's our savior. friend, there is so much
00:25:39.394 --> 00:25:40.695
That's why he's our savior. friend, there is so much to what this all means
00:25:40.762 --> 00:25:41.963
Friend, there is so much to what this all means for you.
00:25:42.030 --> 00:25:43.231
To what this all means for you. but for starters, it means
00:25:43.298 --> 00:25:45.567
For you. but for starters, it means that god loves you
00:25:45.634 --> 00:25:46.768
But for starters, it means that god loves you with your imperfections.
00:25:46.835 --> 00:25:48.737
That god loves you with your imperfections. it means he will use you
00:25:48.803 --> 00:25:50.138
With your imperfections. it means he will use you with your imperfections.
00:25:50.205 --> 00:25:52.240
It means he will use you with your imperfections. it also means that you can
00:25:52.307 --> 00:25:53.408
With your imperfections. it also means that you can stop trying to make up
00:25:53.475 --> 00:25:54.776
It also means that you can stop trying to make up for your imperfections.
00:25:54.843 --> 00:25:56.678
Stop trying to make up for your imperfections. your best shot at
00:25:56.745 --> 00:25:58.013
For your imperfections. your best shot at doing better and being better
00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.948
Your best shot at doing better and being better doesn't make god
00:26:00.015 --> 00:26:01.082
Doing better and being better doesn't make god any more pleased with you
00:26:01.149 --> 00:26:02.350
Doesn't make god any more pleased with you than he already is.
00:26:02.417 --> 00:26:03.952
Any more pleased with you than he already is. in hebrews 11:6
00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:05.920
Than he already is. in hebrews 11:6 the bible says it is faith
00:26:05.987 --> 00:26:07.822
In hebrews 11:6 the bible says it is faith that pleases god.
00:26:07.889 --> 00:26:09.891
The bible says it is faith that pleases god. that's it!
00:26:09.958 --> 00:26:11.559
That pleases god. that's it! just faith in jesus.
00:26:11.626 --> 00:26:14.162
That's it! just faith in jesus. not perfection.
00:26:14.229 --> 00:26:16.031
Just faith in jesus. not perfection. so take a seat.
00:26:16.097 --> 00:26:18.667
Not perfection. so take a seat. that's easy.
00:26:18.733 --> 00:26:20.468
So take a seat. that's easy. god's story is always told.
00:26:20.535 --> 00:26:22.704
That's easy. god's story is always told. it's always shown.
00:26:22.771 --> 00:26:24.039
God's story is always told. it's always shown. it's always demonstrated
00:26:24.105 --> 00:26:25.707
It's always shown. it's always demonstrated through imperfect people
00:26:25.774 --> 00:26:27.876
It's always demonstrated through imperfect people and he's happy with that.
