Join sheila walsh and dr. davidjeremiah
00:00:08.798 --> 00:00:11.034
As they pull back the curtain,
00:00:11.034 --> 00:00:13.036
Revealing the mysteries of heaven
00:00:13.036 --> 00:00:15.038
By answering some of the most popular questions people have.
00:00:15.038 --> 00:00:17.340
>> and here's what i heard.
00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:19.342
I heard a little girl write me a letter.
00:00:19.342 --> 00:00:21.344
She says, "i don't know why you keep asking,
00:00:21.344 --> 00:00:23.346
Are animals in heaven?"
00:00:23.346 --> 00:00:25.348
She said, "shen jesus comes back at the end
00:00:25.348 --> 00:00:27.350
He is riding on a white horse.
00:00:27.350 --> 00:00:29.352
And if horses are in heaven,
00:00:29.352 --> 00:00:31.354
Dogs must be in heaven."
00:00:31.354 --> 00:00:33.356
I'm not sure about cats but i'm pretty sure about dogs.
00:00:33.356 --> 00:00:41.898
♪
00:00:42.132 --> 00:00:54.210

When i realized i had the opportunity to interview one of my favorite people
00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:00.783
On the planet
00:01:00.884 --> 00:01:01.918
On the planet i jumped at it.
00:01:01.985 --> 00:01:03.153

That the one we're going to talk about today
00:01:07.957 --> 00:01:08.925
That the one we're going to talk about today made me cry,
00:01:08.992 --> 00:01:10.059
To talk about today made me cry, not from sorrow
00:01:10.126 --> 00:01:11.161
Made me cry, not from sorrow but from absolute joy
00:01:11.227 --> 00:01:13.129
Not from sorrow but from absolute joy understanding what's ahead
00:01:13.196 --> 00:01:14.831
But from absolute joy understanding what's ahead for every believer
00:01:14.898 --> 00:01:16.065
Understanding what's ahead for every believer who loves jesus.
00:01:16.132 --> 00:01:17.200
For every believer who loves jesus. so i just want to say welcome

I'm so glad. this is an incredible, incredible book.
00:01:21.838 --> 00:01:22.805
This is an incredible, incredible book. david: thank you.
00:01:22.872 --> 00:01:23.873
Incredible book. david: thank you. sheila: what made you write
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:24.908
David: thank you. sheila: what made you write down everything about heaven?
00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:27.210
This pastor thing
00:01:28.745 --> 00:01:29.812
This pastor thing for a long time
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.080
For a long time and you get some questions
00:01:31.147 --> 00:01:33.082
And you get some questions about heaven.
00:01:33.149 --> 00:01:35.351
That people don't really know
00:01:36.753 --> 00:01:37.687
That people don't really know very much about heaven.
00:01:37.754 --> 00:01:38.688
That people don't really know very much about heaven. i've said
00:01:38.755 --> 00:01:39.989
Very much about heaven. i've said people spend more time
00:01:40.056 --> 00:01:41.191
I've said people spend more time planning a two-week vacation
00:01:41.257 --> 00:01:42.358
People spend more time planning a two-week vacation than they do getting ready
00:01:42.425 --> 00:01:43.626
Planning a two-week vacation than they do getting ready to where they're going
00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:44.861
Than they do getting ready to where they're going to spend eternity.
00:01:44.928 --> 00:01:45.929
To where they're going to spend eternity. [laughter]
00:01:45.995 --> 00:01:47.130
To spend eternity. [laughter] so all these questions
00:01:47.197 --> 00:01:48.398
[laughter] so all these questions started accumulating
00:01:48.464 --> 00:01:49.666
So all these questions started accumulating and they were questions
00:01:49.732 --> 00:01:50.967
Started accumulating and they were questions i had never seen in a book
00:01:51.034 --> 00:01:52.101
And they were questions i had never seen in a book where people had...
00:01:52.168 --> 00:01:53.336
I had never seen in a book where people had... so i thought i'd write a book
00:01:53.403 --> 00:01:54.571
Where people had... so i thought i'd write a book that had all the questions
00:01:54.637 --> 00:01:55.672
So i thought i'd write a book that had all the questions nobody else
00:01:55.738 --> 00:01:56.806
That had all the questions nobody else is asking about heaven
00:01:56.873 --> 00:01:57.974
Nobody else is asking about heaven and that's what we did.
00:01:58.041 --> 00:01:59.142
Is asking about heaven and that's what we did. sheila: but it is fantastic.
00:01:59.209 --> 00:02:00.343
And that's what we did. sheila: but it is fantastic. i even put a little thing out
00:02:00.410 --> 00:02:01.411
Sheila: but it is fantastic. i even put a little thing out on facebook asking people,
00:02:01.477 --> 00:02:02.512
I even put a little thing out on facebook asking people, “if you could ask dr. jeremiah
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:03.713
On facebook asking people, “if you could ask dr. jeremiah anything about heaven
00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:04.847
“if you could ask dr. jeremiah anything about heaven what would it be?”
00:02:04.914 --> 00:02:06.082
Anything about heaven what would it be?” and one of them is actually
00:02:06.149 --> 00:02:07.750
What would it be?” and one of them is actually in your first chapter:
00:02:07.817 --> 00:02:08.952
And one of them is actually in your first chapter: is heaven
00:02:09.018 --> 00:02:09.953
In your first chapter: is heaven a real physical place?
00:02:10.019 --> 00:02:11.221
Is heaven a real physical place? david: yes.
00:02:11.287 --> 00:02:12.455
A real physical place? david: yes. on the authority of
00:02:12.522 --> 00:02:13.656
David: yes. on the authority of the lord jesus christ himself.
00:02:13.723 --> 00:02:14.824
On the authority of the lord jesus christ himself. he said,
00:02:14.891 --> 00:02:15.992
The lord jesus christ himself. he said, "in my father's house
00:02:16.059 --> 00:02:17.160
He said, "in my father's house are many mansions
00:02:17.227 --> 00:02:18.761
"in my father's house are many mansions and i go to prepare
00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:19.996
Are many mansions and i go to prepare a place for you."
00:02:20.063 --> 00:02:22.966
And i go to prepare a place for you." not a dream or a figment
00:02:23.032 --> 00:02:25.668
A place for you." not a dream or a figment of your imagination
00:02:25.735 --> 00:02:27.203
Not a dream or a figment of your imagination or whatever.
00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:28.871
Of your imagination or whatever. heaven is a place.
00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:30.373
Or whatever. heaven is a place. sheila: how many heavens
00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:31.507
Heaven is a place. sheila: how many heavens are there?
00:02:31.574 --> 00:02:32.575
Sheila: how many heavens are there? i always thought
00:02:32.642 --> 00:02:33.676
Are there? i always thought there was two
00:02:33.743 --> 00:02:34.677
I always thought there was two but i stand corrected.
00:02:34.744 --> 00:02:35.712
There was two but i stand corrected. david: no.
00:02:35.778 --> 00:02:36.746
But i stand corrected. david: no. no, there is three heavens
00:02:36.813 --> 00:02:37.780
David: no. no, there is three heavens according to the bible.
00:02:37.847 --> 00:02:38.815
No, there is three heavens according to the bible. in fact, when paul
00:02:38.881 --> 00:02:39.849
According to the bible. in fact, when paul was caught up to heaven
00:02:39.916 --> 00:02:40.883
In fact, when paul was caught up to heaven he said he was caught up
00:02:40.950 --> 00:02:41.951
Was caught up to heaven he said he was caught up into the third heaven.
00:02:42.018 --> 00:02:42.986
He said he was caught up into the third heaven. so we have to figure out
00:02:43.052 --> 00:02:44.087
Into the third heaven. so we have to figure out what the other two are.
00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:45.121
So we have to figure out what the other two are. the first heaven
00:02:45.188 --> 00:02:46.222
What the other two are. the first heaven is the atmosphere;
00:02:46.289 --> 00:02:47.357
The first heaven is the atmosphere; where we fly our planes
00:02:47.423 --> 00:02:48.524
Is the atmosphere; where we fly our planes in the atmosphere.
00:02:48.591 --> 00:02:49.692
Where we fly our planes in the atmosphere. then there is
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.793
In the atmosphere. then there is a celestial heaven
00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:51.894
Then there is a celestial heaven and that's where the stars
00:02:51.961 --> 00:02:52.996
A celestial heaven and that's where the stars and the moon and the sun are.
00:02:53.062 --> 00:02:54.097
And then the third heaven
00:02:54.197 --> 00:02:55.231
And then the third heaven is above that
00:02:55.298 --> 00:02:56.299
And then the third heaven is above that and that's where god is.
00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:57.400
Is above that and that's where god is. sheila: any time people
00:02:57.467 --> 00:02:58.635
And that's where god is. sheila: any time people talk about heaven
00:02:58.701 --> 00:02:59.669
Sheila: any time people talk about heaven they point upward.
00:02:59.736 --> 00:03:00.703
Talk about heaven they point upward. do we know
00:03:00.770 --> 00:03:01.771
That heaven is north?
00:03:01.871 --> 00:03:02.839
That heaven is north? david: well,
00:03:02.905 --> 00:03:03.906
That heaven is north? david: well, that's a big deal.
00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:04.974
David: well, that's a big deal. i remember
00:03:05.041 --> 00:03:06.042
That's a big deal. i remember when i was working on that
00:03:06.109 --> 00:03:07.143
I remember when i was working on that somebody said, "well, yeah,
00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:08.211
When i was working on that somebody said, "well, yeah, but north is different
00:03:08.278 --> 00:03:09.279
Somebody said, "well, yeah, but north is different depending on what part
00:03:09.345 --> 00:03:10.346
But north is different depending on what part of the world you're in."
00:03:10.413 --> 00:03:11.414
Depending on what part of the world you're in." what i know from the bible,
00:03:11.481 --> 00:03:12.548
Of the world you're in." what i know from the bible, ephesians says,
00:03:12.615 --> 00:03:13.549
What i know from the bible, ephesians says, "he ascended to us."
00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:15.285
Ephesians says, "he ascended to us." and over and over
00:03:15.351 --> 00:03:16.352
"he ascended to us." and over and over in the gospels
00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:17.887
And over and over in the gospels we read that jesus came down.
00:03:17.954 --> 00:03:19.422
In the gospels we read that jesus came down. so heaven is up.
00:03:19.489 --> 00:03:21.057
We read that jesus came down. so heaven is up. we know that.
00:03:21.124 --> 00:03:22.625
So heaven is up. we know that. sheila: for someone who dies
00:03:22.692 --> 00:03:24.761
We know that. sheila: for someone who dies before the rapture
00:03:24.827 --> 00:03:27.130
Sheila: for someone who dies before the rapture where are they at the moment?
00:03:27.196 --> 00:03:28.865
Before the rapture where are they at the moment? david: you know that's
00:03:28.931 --> 00:03:29.932
Where are they at the moment? david: you know that's a really important question.
00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:31.134
David: you know that's a really important question. that's one that's
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:32.201
A really important question. that's one that's most often asked, sheila.
00:03:32.268 --> 00:03:33.336
That's one that's most often asked, sheila. especially when people
00:03:33.403 --> 00:03:34.704
Most often asked, sheila. especially when people lose somebody they love,
00:03:34.771 --> 00:03:36.906
Especially when people lose somebody they love, it's very confusing to them
00:03:36.973 --> 00:03:39.475
Lose somebody they love, it's very confusing to them because they hear
00:03:39.542 --> 00:03:40.576
It's very confusing to them because they hear that they've gone to heaven
00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:41.644
Because they hear that they've gone to heaven but then they go to a funeral
00:03:41.711 --> 00:03:42.712
That they've gone to heaven but then they go to a funeral and they see the body
00:03:42.779 --> 00:03:43.846
But then they go to a funeral and they see the body and they go put the body
00:03:43.913 --> 00:03:45.014
And they see the body and they go put the body in the grave
00:03:45.081 --> 00:03:46.049
And they go put the body in the grave and they don't understand.
00:03:46.115 --> 00:03:47.116
In the grave and they don't understand. but the scriptures
00:03:47.183 --> 00:03:48.284
And they don't understand. but the scriptures are very clear.
00:03:48.351 --> 00:03:49.585
But the scriptures are very clear. here's the best way
00:03:49.652 --> 00:03:50.787
Are very clear. here's the best way to say that.
00:03:50.853 --> 00:03:51.888
Here's the best way to say that. the bible says,
00:03:51.954 --> 00:03:53.189
To say that. the bible says, "absent from the body,
00:03:53.256 --> 00:03:54.557
The bible says, "absent from the body, present with the lord."
00:03:54.624 --> 00:03:55.758
"absent from the body, present with the lord." in other words, when we die
00:03:55.825 --> 00:03:58.961
Present with the lord." in other words, when we die our body goes in the grave
00:03:59.028 --> 00:04:01.297
In other words, when we die our body goes in the grave and our soul and our spirit
00:04:01.364 --> 00:04:02.832
Our body goes in the grave and our soul and our spirit go to be with god.
00:04:02.899 --> 00:04:04.367
And our soul and our spirit go to be with god. in the resurrection
00:04:04.434 --> 00:04:05.802
Go to be with god. in the resurrection those two commodities
00:04:05.868 --> 00:04:08.604
In the resurrection those two commodities are going to be
00:04:08.671 --> 00:04:09.806
Those two commodities are going to be joined together again.
00:04:09.872 --> 00:04:10.907
Are going to be joined together again. but when we die
00:04:10.973 --> 00:04:12.275
Joined together again. but when we die our body goes in the grave.
00:04:12.342 --> 00:04:14.277
But when we die our body goes in the grave. so it is true.
00:04:14.344 --> 00:04:15.478
Our body goes in the grave. so it is true. when you lose a loved one,
00:04:15.545 --> 00:04:16.646
So it is true. when you lose a loved one, if you're a christian
00:04:16.713 --> 00:04:17.747
When you lose a loved one, if you're a christian and you go to the funeral
00:04:17.814 --> 00:04:18.948
If you're a christian and you go to the funeral and your brother, sister,
00:04:19.015 --> 00:04:20.616
And you go to the funeral and your brother, sister, mom or dad, they're not there;
00:04:20.683 --> 00:04:22.218
And your brother, sister, mom or dad, they're not there; just the house they lived in
00:04:22.285 --> 00:04:23.386
Sheila: in regards
00:04:24.821 --> 00:04:26.622
Sheila: in regards to the rapture,
00:04:26.689 --> 00:04:28.324
To the rapture, what happens to those of us
00:04:28.391 --> 00:04:29.625
What happens to those of us who are here on earth
00:04:29.692 --> 00:04:30.827
And what happens to those
00:04:31.994 --> 00:04:33.096
And what happens to those who have already died
00:04:33.162 --> 00:04:34.297
And what happens to those who have already died in christ?
00:04:34.364 --> 00:04:35.298
Who have already died in christ? david: one of the things
00:04:35.365 --> 00:04:36.399
In christ? david: one of the things that's really misunderstood
00:04:36.466 --> 00:04:37.433
David: one of the things that's really misunderstood about that is that only
00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:38.568
That's really misunderstood about that is that only the people who died first
00:04:38.634 --> 00:04:39.602
About that is that only the people who died first get a makeover.
00:04:39.669 --> 00:04:42.071
The bible says
00:04:43.539 --> 00:04:45.274
The bible says that we'll be changed
00:04:45.341 --> 00:04:46.876
That we'll be changed to be like the lord
00:04:46.943 --> 00:04:48.010
To be like the lord and those who die first
00:04:48.077 --> 00:04:49.412
That are in the grave,
00:04:50.813 --> 00:04:51.848
That are in the grave, they actually take precedence
00:04:51.914 --> 00:04:53.082
That are in the grave, they actually take precedence over everybody else.
00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:54.217
They actually take precedence over everybody else. paul wrote
00:04:54.283 --> 00:04:55.451
Over everybody else. paul wrote to the thessalonians,
00:04:55.518 --> 00:04:56.552
Paul wrote to the thessalonians, "i don't want you
00:04:56.619 --> 00:04:57.687
To the thessalonians, "i don't want you to be ignorant, brethren,
00:04:57.754 --> 00:04:58.821
"i don't want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those
00:04:58.888 --> 00:04:59.956
To be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, for we
00:05:00.022 --> 00:05:01.090
Concerning those who are asleep, for we shall not precede them."
00:05:01.157 --> 00:05:02.191
Who are asleep, for we shall not precede them." in other words,
00:05:02.258 --> 00:05:03.292
Shall not precede them." in other words, they're going to go up first.
00:05:03.359 --> 00:05:04.360
In other words, they're going to go up first. and the bible tells us
00:05:04.427 --> 00:05:05.495
They're going to go up first. and the bible tells us on the way up
00:05:05.561 --> 00:05:06.629
And the bible tells us on the way up they're going to be changed
00:05:06.696 --> 00:05:07.764
On the way up they're going to be changed like unto
00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:08.898
They're going to be changed like unto the lord jesus christ
00:05:08.965 --> 00:05:10.032
Like unto the lord jesus christ in his resurrection body.
00:05:10.099 --> 00:05:11.167
The lord jesus christ in his resurrection body. over in philippians
00:05:11.234 --> 00:05:12.301
In his resurrection body. over in philippians we are told that those of us
00:05:12.368 --> 00:05:13.569
Over in philippians we are told that those of us who are alive and remain,
00:05:13.636 --> 00:05:14.704
We are told that those of us who are alive and remain, we're going to get
00:05:14.771 --> 00:05:15.838
Who are alive and remain, we're going to get that change too on the way.
00:05:15.905 --> 00:05:16.973
We're going to get that change too on the way. so i think the chapter
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.107
That change too on the way. so i think the chapter in my book was
00:05:18.174 --> 00:05:19.208
So i think the chapter in my book was "the extreme makeover."
00:05:19.275 --> 00:05:20.410
In my book was "the extreme makeover." everybody is always
00:05:20.476 --> 00:05:21.644
"the extreme makeover." everybody is always spending so much money
00:05:21.711 --> 00:05:22.845
Everybody is always spending so much money and one day it is all going
00:05:22.912 --> 00:05:24.280
Spending so much money and one day it is all going to be done and done right.
00:05:24.347 --> 00:05:25.481
And one day it is all going to be done and done right. we won't even need
00:05:25.548 --> 00:05:26.716
To be done and done right. we won't even need the make-up artist
00:05:26.783 --> 00:05:27.884
We won't even need the make-up artist that helped us get ready
00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:29.018
The make-up artist that helped us get ready for this show.
00:05:29.085 --> 00:05:30.186
That helped us get ready for this show. sheila: well,
00:05:30.253 --> 00:05:31.387
For this show. sheila: well, we sure need her now.
00:05:31.454 --> 00:05:33.256
Sheila: well, we sure need her now. so with my mom and dad
00:05:33.322 --> 00:05:35.057
We sure need her now. so with my mom and dad who both passed,
00:05:35.124 --> 00:05:36.426
So with my mom and dad who both passed, will they go ahead of me
00:05:36.492 --> 00:05:38.428
Who both passed, will they go ahead of me to heaven?
00:05:38.494 --> 00:05:40.263
Will they go ahead of me to heaven? david: here's
00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:42.031
To heaven? david: here's the beauty of that.
00:05:42.098 --> 00:05:44.033
David: here's the beauty of that. i don't think they will see
00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:46.736
The beauty of that. i don't think they will see the ultimate heaven
00:05:46.803 --> 00:05:48.671
I don't think they will see the ultimate heaven in any precedence over us.
00:05:48.738 --> 00:05:52.008
The ultimate heaven in any precedence over us. in other words,
00:05:52.074 --> 00:05:53.176
In any precedence over us. in other words, the bible says
00:05:53.242 --> 00:05:54.343
In other words, the bible says that those of us
00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:55.511
The bible says that those of us who are alive and remain
00:05:55.578 --> 00:05:56.746
That those of us who are alive and remain shall be caught up together
00:05:56.813 --> 00:05:58.014
Who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them.
00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:59.182
Shall be caught up together with them. who are them?
00:05:59.248 --> 00:06:00.349
With them. who are them? the ones who have
00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:01.417
Who are them? the ones who have already died.
00:06:01.484 --> 00:06:02.485
The ones who have already died. and then we will be ushered
00:06:02.552 --> 00:06:03.553
Already died. and then we will be ushered into ultimate heaven together.
00:06:03.619 --> 00:06:04.720
And then we will be ushered into ultimate heaven together. my mom and dad are in heaven
00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:07.156
Into ultimate heaven together. my mom and dad are in heaven but they won't see heaven
00:06:07.223 --> 00:06:08.291
My mom and dad are in heaven but they won't see heaven as we will
00:06:08.357 --> 00:06:09.592
But they won't see heaven as we will until we all see it together.
00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:11.494
As we will until we all see it together. sheila: that's marvelous.
00:06:11.561 --> 00:06:13.429
Until we all see it together. sheila: that's marvelous. it's just marvelous.
00:06:13.496 --> 00:06:15.164
Sheila: that's marvelous. it's just marvelous. one of the questions
00:06:15.231 --> 00:06:16.732
It's just marvelous. one of the questions i got on facebook
00:06:16.799 --> 00:06:18.034
One of the questions i got on facebook and i totally understood it
00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.135
I got on facebook and i totally understood it because i used
00:06:19.202 --> 00:06:20.403
And i totally understood it because i used to think this myself.
00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:21.504
Because i used to think this myself. this girl said,
00:06:21.571 --> 00:06:22.638
To think this myself. this girl said, "i'm glad i'm going to heaven
00:06:22.705 --> 00:06:23.773
This girl said, "i'm glad i'm going to heaven because it is better
00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:24.874
"i'm glad i'm going to heaven because it is better than the alternative.
00:06:24.941 --> 00:06:25.908
Because it is better than the alternative. but what are we going to do
00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:27.043
Than the alternative. but what are we going to do for all of those millions
00:06:27.109 --> 00:06:28.144
But what are we going to do for all of those millions of years?
00:06:28.211 --> 00:06:29.278
For all of those millions of years? will we be bored?"
00:06:29.345 --> 00:06:30.446
Of years? will we be bored?" david: that's
00:06:30.513 --> 00:06:31.547
Will we be bored?" david: that's the ancient reason why people,
00:06:31.614 --> 00:06:32.715
David: that's the ancient reason why people, you hear guys,
00:06:32.782 --> 00:06:33.783
The ancient reason why people, you hear guys, i've witnessed this
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:34.817
You hear guys, i've witnessed this in so many guys,
00:06:34.884 --> 00:06:35.885
I've witnessed this in so many guys, "i'm going to go and...
00:06:35.952 --> 00:06:36.986
In so many guys, "i'm going to go and... i'd rather be
00:06:37.053 --> 00:06:38.020
"i'm going to go and... i'd rather be with my drinking buddies
00:06:38.087 --> 00:06:39.055
I'd rather be with my drinking buddies and all that."
00:06:39.121 --> 00:06:40.156
With my drinking buddies and all that." "i'm going
00:06:40.223 --> 00:06:41.257
And all that." "i'm going where my friends are."
00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:42.425
"i'm going where my friends are." and that's such
00:06:42.492 --> 00:06:43.559
Where my friends are." and that's such an ignorant thing to say.
00:06:43.626 --> 00:06:44.694
And that's such an ignorant thing to say. but heaven is not going
00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:45.795
An ignorant thing to say. but heaven is not going to be boring
00:06:45.862 --> 00:06:46.863
But heaven is not going to be boring and i'm going to tell you why.
00:06:46.929 --> 00:06:47.864
To be boring and i'm going to tell you why. first of all,
00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:48.998
And i'm going to tell you why. first of all, god isn't boring.
00:06:49.065 --> 00:06:50.066
First of all, god isn't boring. god would never create
00:06:50.132 --> 00:06:51.100
God isn't boring. god would never create a place for those he loves
00:06:51.167 --> 00:06:52.168
God would never create a place for those he loves that would be boring
00:06:52.235 --> 00:06:53.202
A place for those he loves that would be boring for eternity.
00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:54.370
That would be boring for eternity. and believe it or not
00:06:54.437 --> 00:06:55.538
For eternity. and believe it or not you and i are not
00:06:55.605 --> 00:06:56.739
And believe it or not you and i are not going to be boring
00:06:56.806 --> 00:06:57.907
You and i are not going to be boring because before we get there
00:06:57.974 --> 00:06:59.108
Going to be boring because before we get there we're going to be changed.
00:06:59.175 --> 00:07:00.309
Because before we get there we're going to be changed. and when we get there
00:07:00.376 --> 00:07:01.511
We're going to be changed. and when we get there heaven will be a place
00:07:01.577 --> 00:07:02.712
And when we get there heaven will be a place where we serve.
00:07:02.778 --> 00:07:03.880
Heaven will be a place where we serve. the bible tells us
00:07:03.946 --> 00:07:05.047
Where we serve. the bible tells us his servants will serve him.
00:07:05.114 --> 00:07:06.249
The bible tells us his servants will serve him. it's a place where
00:07:06.315 --> 00:07:07.416
His servants will serve him. it's a place where incredible worship
00:07:07.483 --> 00:07:08.584
It's a place where incredible worship is going to take place.
00:07:08.651 --> 00:07:09.785
Incredible worship is going to take place. we're going to have
00:07:09.852 --> 00:07:11.187
Is going to take place. we're going to have assignments to rule and reign
00:07:11.254 --> 00:07:13.389
We're going to have assignments to rule and reign just like in the millennium.
00:07:13.456 --> 00:07:14.824
Assignments to rule and reign just like in the millennium. and heaven will be a time
00:07:14.891 --> 00:07:17.793
Just like in the millennium. and heaven will be a time where we can serve
00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:19.362
And heaven will be a time where we can serve as long as we want
00:07:19.428 --> 00:07:20.496
Where we can serve as long as we want and we'll never be tired.
00:07:20.563 --> 00:07:21.697
As long as we want and we'll never be tired. sheila: gosh.
00:07:21.764 --> 00:07:22.932
And we'll never be tired. sheila: gosh. isn't that amazing?
00:07:22.999 --> 00:07:24.033
Sheila: gosh. isn't that amazing? david: isn't that something?
00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:25.134
Isn't that amazing? david: isn't that something? sheila: that's beautiful.
00:07:25.201 --> 00:07:26.235
David: isn't that something? sheila: that's beautiful. will we recognize one another?
00:07:26.302 --> 00:07:27.370
Sheila: that's beautiful. will we recognize one another? david: absolutely!
00:07:27.436 --> 00:07:28.471
Will we recognize one another? david: absolutely! we know that,
00:07:28.538 --> 00:07:31.073
David: absolutely! we know that, for instance, on the mount
00:07:31.140 --> 00:07:32.441
We know that, for instance, on the mount of transfiguration when
00:07:32.508 --> 00:07:33.643
For instance, on the mount of transfiguration when those three guys showed up
00:07:33.709 --> 00:07:34.810
Of transfiguration when those three guys showed up from a different world
00:07:34.877 --> 00:07:35.945
Those three guys showed up from a different world they were known.
00:07:36.012 --> 00:07:37.179
From a different world they were known. everybody knew who they were.
00:07:37.246 --> 00:07:38.447
They were known. everybody knew who they were. when jesus came out
00:07:38.514 --> 00:07:39.715
Everybody knew who they were. when jesus came out of the grave he was in
00:07:39.782 --> 00:07:43.052
When jesus came out of the grave he was in his resurrection body
00:07:43.119 --> 00:07:44.520
Of the grave he was in his resurrection body and mary knew him
00:07:44.587 --> 00:07:45.788
His resurrection body and mary knew him after a few moments.
00:07:45.855 --> 00:07:47.957
And mary knew him after a few moments. she knew him by his voice
00:07:48.024 --> 00:07:49.191
So there's...
00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.627
So there's... if we can't remember
00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:53.262
If we can't remember we aren't a person.
00:07:53.329 --> 00:07:56.632
We'll remember the people,
00:07:58.034 --> 00:07:59.101
We'll remember the people, we'll know them,
00:07:59.168 --> 00:08:00.303
We'll remember the people, we'll know them, we'll be known by them
00:08:00.369 --> 00:08:02.204
We'll know them, we'll be known by them and we'll know them
00:08:02.271 --> 00:08:03.506
We'll be known by them and we'll know them as we've never
00:08:03.573 --> 00:08:04.740
And we'll know them as we've never known them before.
00:08:04.807 --> 00:08:06.042
As we've never known them before. sheila: somebody
00:08:06.108 --> 00:08:07.176
Known them before. sheila: somebody asked me a question
00:08:07.243 --> 00:08:08.311
Sheila: somebody asked me a question that was very heart stirring.
00:08:08.377 --> 00:08:09.612
Asked me a question that was very heart stirring. she said, "i have miscarried
00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:10.980
That was very heart stirring. she said, "i have miscarried two children.
00:08:11.047 --> 00:08:12.481
She said, "i have miscarried two children. will they be in heaven?
00:08:12.548 --> 00:08:13.616
Two children. will they be in heaven? will i know
00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:14.750
Will they be in heaven? will i know they are my children?"
00:08:14.817 --> 00:08:15.918
Will i know they are my children?" david: well, let's just stop
00:08:15.985 --> 00:08:17.086
They are my children?" david: well, let's just stop and think about that
00:08:17.153 --> 00:08:18.220
David: well, let's just stop and think about that for a moment, sheila.
00:08:18.287 --> 00:08:19.355
And think about that for a moment, sheila. if you believe, as we do,
00:08:19.422 --> 00:08:21.324
For a moment, sheila. if you believe, as we do, that a child becomes a person
00:08:21.390 --> 00:08:24.226
If you believe, as we do, that a child becomes a person at the moment of conception,
00:08:24.293 --> 00:08:26.462
That a child becomes a person at the moment of conception, then that person
00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:29.565
At the moment of conception, then that person is as viable a person
00:08:29.632 --> 00:08:31.233
Then that person is as viable a person as anybody else.
00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:32.835
Is as viable a person as anybody else. and if that child dies
00:08:32.902 --> 00:08:35.738
As anybody else. and if that child dies before it is actually born
00:08:35.805 --> 00:08:37.373
And if that child dies before it is actually born into the world
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.474
Before it is actually born into the world it is still a living person.
00:08:38.541 --> 00:08:39.775
Into the world it is still a living person. and that child
00:08:39.842 --> 00:08:41.444
It is still a living person. and that child because it obviously
00:08:41.510 --> 00:08:43.112
And that child because it obviously didn't have a chance
00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:44.413
Because it obviously didn't have a chance to understand the gospel
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.581
Didn't have a chance to understand the gospel will be covered
00:08:45.648 --> 00:08:46.916
To understand the gospel will be covered under the blood of christ
00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:48.250
Will be covered under the blood of christ and it will be in heaven.
00:08:48.317 --> 00:08:49.885
Under the blood of christ and it will be in heaven. most people don't know this
00:08:49.952 --> 00:08:51.087
And it will be in heaven. most people don't know this about us.
00:08:51.153 --> 00:08:52.221
Most people don't know this about us. we have four children
00:08:52.288 --> 00:08:53.356
About us. we have four children but we have five
00:08:53.422 --> 00:08:54.490
We have four children but we have five because we had a miscarriage
00:08:54.557 --> 00:08:55.625
But we have five because we had a miscarriage right at the beginning.
00:08:55.691 --> 00:08:56.759
Because we had a miscarriage right at the beginning. it was very, very...
00:08:56.826 --> 00:08:58.260
Right at the beginning. it was very, very... people don't think
00:08:58.327 --> 00:08:59.562
It was very, very... people don't think that is a big deal.
00:08:59.629 --> 00:09:00.696
People don't think that is a big deal. i can tell you,
00:09:00.763 --> 00:09:01.797
That is a big deal. i can tell you, that's a big deal.
00:09:01.864 --> 00:09:02.932
I can tell you, that's a big deal. especially if you haven't
00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:04.066
That's a big deal. especially if you haven't got any other children.
00:09:04.133 --> 00:09:05.134
Especially if you haven't got any other children. and we wanted children
00:09:05.201 --> 00:09:06.302
Got any other children. and we wanted children for quite a few years
00:09:06.369 --> 00:09:07.603
And we wanted children for quite a few years before we had them.
00:09:07.670 --> 00:09:08.771
For quite a few years before we had them. and then all of the sudden
00:09:08.838 --> 00:09:09.839
Before we had them. and then all of the sudden we got them all at once.
00:09:09.905 --> 00:09:11.007
And then all of the sudden we got them all at once. [laughter]
00:09:11.073 --> 00:09:12.441
We got them all at once. [laughter] but this baby was miscarried,
00:09:12.508 --> 00:09:14.777
[laughter] but this baby was miscarried, i'll never forget it,
00:09:14.844 --> 00:09:16.212
But this baby was miscarried, i'll never forget it, because we miscarried
00:09:16.278 --> 00:09:18.781
I'll never forget it, because we miscarried that baby on the day
00:09:18.848 --> 00:09:20.049
Because we miscarried that baby on the day that my grandfather died and
00:09:20.116 --> 00:09:21.384
That baby on the day that my grandfather died and i had to make the decision
00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:22.952
That my grandfather died and i had to make the decision as to whether to go to
00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:24.286
I had to make the decision as to whether to go to the funeral of my grandfather
00:09:24.353 --> 00:09:25.554
As to whether to go to the funeral of my grandfather or take donna
00:09:25.621 --> 00:09:26.889
The funeral of my grandfather or take donna to the hospital.
00:09:26.956 --> 00:09:29.325
Or take donna to the hospital. and that baby is there.
00:09:29.392 --> 00:09:31.260
To the hospital. and that baby is there. we've never met that baby.
00:09:31.327 --> 00:09:32.895
And that baby is there. we've never met that baby. we don't know that baby
00:09:32.962 --> 00:09:34.063
We've never met that baby. we don't know that baby but some day we will.
00:09:34.130 --> 00:09:35.464
Was two years old
00:09:36.732 --> 00:09:37.733
Was two years old i miscarried
00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:38.768
I miscarried and i can't wait to think
00:09:38.834 --> 00:09:39.969
And i can't wait to think that one day
00:09:40.036 --> 00:09:41.037
That one day that i'll get to meet
00:09:41.103 --> 00:09:42.171
What's the difference between
00:09:43.606 --> 00:09:44.707
What's the difference between "the great white throne"
00:09:44.774 --> 00:09:46.108
What's the difference between "the great white throne" and "the judgment seat
00:09:46.175 --> 00:09:47.376
"the great white throne" and "the judgment seat of christ"?
00:09:47.443 --> 00:09:48.544
And "the judgment seat of christ"? david: well,
00:09:48.611 --> 00:09:49.779
Of christ"? david: well, the difference is
00:09:49.845 --> 00:09:51.013
David: well, the difference is a lot of years for one thing.
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:52.181
The difference is a lot of years for one thing. "the great white throne
00:09:52.248 --> 00:09:54.483
A lot of years for one thing. "the great white throne judgment" doesn't happen
00:09:54.550 --> 00:09:55.785
"the great white throne judgment" doesn't happen till the end
00:09:55.851 --> 00:09:56.919
Judgment" doesn't happen till the end of the thousand year reign
00:09:56.986 --> 00:09:57.987
Till the end of the thousand year reign of christ, the millennium.
00:09:58.054 --> 00:09:59.422
Of the thousand year reign of christ, the millennium. "the judgment seat of christ"
00:09:59.488 --> 00:10:00.623
Of christ, the millennium. "the judgment seat of christ" happens immediately
00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:02.124
"the judgment seat of christ" happens immediately after the rapture
00:10:02.191 --> 00:10:03.359
Happens immediately after the rapture and it is for christians only.
00:10:03.426 --> 00:10:04.560
After the rapture and it is for christians only. here's the best way
00:10:04.627 --> 00:10:05.695
And it is for christians only. here's the best way to remember that.
00:10:05.761 --> 00:10:06.862
Here's the best way to remember that. "the judgment seat of christ"
00:10:06.929 --> 00:10:08.030
To remember that. "the judgment seat of christ" is a place
00:10:08.097 --> 00:10:09.131
"the judgment seat of christ" is a place where no unsaved people
00:10:09.198 --> 00:10:10.366
Is a place where no unsaved people will ever be.
00:10:10.433 --> 00:10:11.434
Where no unsaved people will ever be. when you stand
00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:12.501
Will ever be. when you stand before the judge
00:10:12.568 --> 00:10:13.569
When you stand before the judge at the judgment seat of christ
00:10:13.636 --> 00:10:14.637
Before the judge at the judgment seat of christ it's not to be judged
00:10:14.704 --> 00:10:15.705
At the judgment seat of christ it's not to be judged for your sin
00:10:15.771 --> 00:10:16.772
It's not to be judged for your sin but to be judged
00:10:16.839 --> 00:10:17.840
For your sin but to be judged for the works you have done
00:10:17.907 --> 00:10:18.908
But to be judged for the works you have done in your flesh as a believer.
00:10:18.974 --> 00:10:19.975
For the works you have done in your flesh as a believer. and it is not even a judgment
00:10:20.042 --> 00:10:21.043
In your flesh as a believer. and it is not even a judgment for good and bad
00:10:21.110 --> 00:10:22.078
And it is not even a judgment for good and bad as much as it is
00:10:22.144 --> 00:10:23.879
For good and bad as much as it is the rewards are given
00:10:23.946 --> 00:10:25.147
As much as it is the rewards are given and it's how
00:10:25.214 --> 00:10:26.415
The rewards are given and it's how have we served the lord?
00:10:26.482 --> 00:10:27.483
And it's how have we served the lord? have we served him
00:10:27.550 --> 00:10:28.517
Have we served the lord? have we served him with all of our hearts?
00:10:28.584 --> 00:10:29.685
Have we served him with all of our hearts? but "the great white throne
00:10:29.752 --> 00:10:30.986
With all of our hearts? but "the great white throne judgment" takes place
00:10:31.053 --> 00:10:32.354
But "the great white throne judgment" takes place clear at the end
00:10:32.421 --> 00:10:33.622
Judgment" takes place clear at the end of the millennium,
00:10:33.689 --> 00:10:34.790
Clear at the end of the millennium, at the end
00:10:34.857 --> 00:10:35.958
Of the millennium, at the end of the thousand year reign
00:10:36.025 --> 00:10:37.226
At the end of the thousand year reign and that's a place where
00:10:37.293 --> 00:10:38.360
Of the thousand year reign and that's a place where no christians will ever be.
00:10:38.427 --> 00:10:39.595
And that's a place where no christians will ever be. only unbelievers
00:10:39.662 --> 00:10:40.830
No christians will ever be. only unbelievers will be there
00:10:40.896 --> 00:10:41.997
Only unbelievers will be there and that will not be a --
00:10:42.064 --> 00:10:43.332
Will be there and that will not be a -- that will be
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:44.600
And that will not be a -- that will be a very sober time
00:10:44.667 --> 00:10:45.835
That will be a very sober time in the history of the world.
00:10:45.901 --> 00:10:46.969
A very sober time in the history of the world. sheila: what are some
00:10:47.036 --> 00:10:48.070
In the history of the world. sheila: what are some of the rewards that...
00:10:48.137 --> 00:10:49.171
Sheila: what are some of the rewards that... because i often think
00:10:49.238 --> 00:10:50.272
Of the rewards that... because i often think there are so many people
00:10:50.339 --> 00:10:51.474
Because i often think there are so many people out there who get
00:10:51.540 --> 00:10:52.575
There are so many people out there who get very little recognition
00:10:52.641 --> 00:10:53.676
Out there who get very little recognition on this earth but have
00:10:53.743 --> 00:10:54.877
Very little recognition on this earth but have faithfully served christ
00:10:54.944 --> 00:10:55.978
On this earth but have faithfully served christ all their lives.
00:10:56.045 --> 00:10:57.079
Faithfully served christ all their lives. david: you know
00:10:57.146 --> 00:10:58.180
All their lives. david: you know what's interesting, sheila?
00:10:58.247 --> 00:10:59.281
David: you know what's interesting, sheila? a lot of christians i meet
00:10:59.348 --> 00:11:00.382
What's interesting, sheila? a lot of christians i meet think that rewards
00:11:00.449 --> 00:11:01.517
A lot of christians i meet think that rewards shouldn't happen; that you
00:11:01.584 --> 00:11:02.585
Think that rewards shouldn't happen; that you should just serve jesus
00:11:02.651 --> 00:11:03.586
Shouldn't happen; that you should just serve jesus and not really care
00:11:03.652 --> 00:11:04.587
Should just serve jesus and not really care about a reward.
00:11:04.653 --> 00:11:05.688
And not really care about a reward. but the problem with that is
00:11:05.755 --> 00:11:06.722
About a reward. but the problem with that is rewards are everywhere
00:11:06.789 --> 00:11:07.823
But the problem with that is rewards are everywhere in the scripture.
00:11:07.890 --> 00:11:08.958
Rewards are everywhere in the scripture. god knows a lot more about us
00:11:09.024 --> 00:11:10.025
In the scripture. god knows a lot more about us than we think he does.
00:11:10.092 --> 00:11:11.093
God knows a lot more about us than we think he does. we are motivated by rewards.
00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:12.194
Than we think he does. we are motivated by rewards. there is
00:11:12.261 --> 00:11:13.529
We are motivated by rewards. there is a soul winner's reward.
00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:14.663
Who love the appearing
00:11:16.298 --> 00:11:17.833
Who love the appearing of the lord jesus christ.
00:11:17.900 --> 00:11:19.135
Of the lord jesus christ. there are five rewards
00:11:19.201 --> 00:11:20.236
There are five rewards that i know of
00:11:20.302 --> 00:11:21.337
In the book
00:11:22.738 --> 00:11:23.839
In the book that we're candidates for,
00:11:23.906 --> 00:11:25.274
In the book that we're candidates for, most of us,
00:11:25.341 --> 00:11:26.375
That we're candidates for, most of us, if we serve the lord
00:11:26.442 --> 00:11:28.144
Most of us, if we serve the lord with a pure heart
00:11:28.210 --> 00:11:29.845
If we serve the lord with a pure heart and a desire to honor him,
00:11:29.912 --> 00:11:31.881
With a pure heart and a desire to honor him, one day we're going
00:11:31.947 --> 00:11:33.382
And a desire to honor him, one day we're going to get these rewards.
00:11:33.449 --> 00:11:34.416
One day we're going to get these rewards. and the beauty of it is,
00:11:34.483 --> 00:11:35.651
To get these rewards. and the beauty of it is, we won't keep them long.
00:11:35.718 --> 00:11:36.886
And the beauty of it is, we won't keep them long. the bible says we'll take them
00:11:36.952 --> 00:11:38.120
We won't keep them long. the bible says we'll take them and throw them,
00:11:38.187 --> 00:11:39.388
The bible says we'll take them and throw them, cast them at the feet of jesus
00:11:39.455 --> 00:11:40.790
And throw them, cast them at the feet of jesus as our way of worshipping him.
00:11:40.856 --> 00:11:44.326
Cast them at the feet of jesus as our way of worshipping him. sheila: you call them
00:11:44.393 --> 00:11:45.828
As our way of worshipping him. sheila: you call them "heaven's oscars."
00:11:45.895 --> 00:11:47.196
Sheila: you call them "heaven's oscars." [laughter]
00:11:47.263 --> 00:11:48.330
"heaven's oscars." [laughter] i love that idea.
00:11:48.397 --> 00:11:49.698
[laughter] i love that idea. but you say the ultimate goal
00:11:49.765 --> 00:11:52.034
I love that idea. but you say the ultimate goal is that we give them...
00:11:52.101 --> 00:11:53.702
But you say the ultimate goal is that we give them... because that really helps me.
00:11:53.769 --> 00:11:55.471
Is that we give them... because that really helps me. because i always thought,
00:11:55.538 --> 00:11:56.672
Because that really helps me. because i always thought, what do you do with rewards
00:11:56.739 --> 00:11:57.940
Because i always thought, what do you do with rewards in heaven?
00:11:58.007 --> 00:11:59.141
What do you do with rewards in heaven? but if they're simply
00:11:59.208 --> 00:12:00.309
In heaven? but if they're simply to be thrown back
00:12:00.376 --> 00:12:01.377
But if they're simply to be thrown back at the feet of christ
00:12:01.443 --> 00:12:02.511
To be thrown back at the feet of christ that's a beautiful thing.
00:12:02.578 --> 00:12:03.579
At the feet of christ that's a beautiful thing. david: suppose you are
00:12:03.646 --> 00:12:04.613
That's a beautiful thing. david: suppose you are a christian
00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:05.748
David: suppose you are a christian and you've wasted your life
00:12:05.815 --> 00:12:06.749
A christian and you've wasted your life and you haven't...
00:12:06.816 --> 00:12:07.883
And you've wasted your life and you haven't... i know people like this.
00:12:07.950 --> 00:12:08.951
And you haven't... i know people like this. they're christians,
00:12:09.018 --> 00:12:10.152
I know people like this. they're christians, i know that,
00:12:10.219 --> 00:12:11.353
They're christians, i know that, but they're not living
00:12:11.420 --> 00:12:12.454
I know that, but they're not living for christ,
00:12:12.521 --> 00:12:13.622
But they're not living for christ, they're living for this world.
00:12:13.689 --> 00:12:14.757
For christ, they're living for this world. they don't have any time
00:12:14.824 --> 00:12:16.125
They're living for this world. they don't have any time to do anything
00:12:16.192 --> 00:12:17.193
They don't have any time to do anything to serve the lord
00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:18.327
To do anything to serve the lord and they're going
00:12:18.394 --> 00:12:19.461
To serve the lord and they're going to stand there that day
00:12:19.528 --> 00:12:20.629
And they're going to stand there that day and watch people
00:12:20.696 --> 00:12:21.697
To stand there that day and watch people bring the rewards
00:12:21.764 --> 00:12:22.731
And watch people bring the rewards and cast them
00:12:22.798 --> 00:12:23.966
Bring the rewards and cast them at the feet of jesus
00:12:24.033 --> 00:12:25.067
And cast them at the feet of jesus and they won't have anything
00:12:25.134 --> 00:12:26.168
At the feet of jesus and they won't have anything to give.
00:12:26.235 --> 00:12:27.169
And they won't have anything to give. i sure don't want to be
00:12:27.236 --> 00:12:28.237
To give. i sure don't want to be in that spot.
00:12:28.304 --> 00:12:29.238
I sure don't want to be in that spot. i want to be able
00:12:29.305 --> 00:12:30.306
In that spot. i want to be able to worship the lord that day
00:12:30.372 --> 00:12:31.440
I want to be able to worship the lord that day with joy.
00:12:31.507 --> 00:12:32.608
To worship the lord that day with joy. sheila: somebody asked,
00:12:32.675 --> 00:12:33.709
With joy. sheila: somebody asked, "well, if everybody believer
00:12:33.776 --> 00:12:36.078
Sheila: somebody asked, "well, if everybody believer from the beginning of time,
00:12:36.145 --> 00:12:37.279
"well, if everybody believer from the beginning of time, i mean how do they
00:12:37.346 --> 00:12:38.581
From the beginning of time, i mean how do they all fit into heaven?
00:12:38.647 --> 00:12:39.815
I mean how do they all fit into heaven? and how are you ever going
00:12:39.882 --> 00:12:41.083
All fit into heaven? and how are you ever going to see jesus

And how are you ever going to see jesus because there's going to be

To see jesus because there's going to be so many millions and millions
00:12:43.485 --> 00:12:44.587
Because there's going to be so many millions and millions and millions of people?"
00:12:44.653 --> 00:12:45.821
So many millions and millions and millions of people?" david: we're going to have
00:12:45.888 --> 00:12:48.357
And millions of people?" david: we're going to have better bodies
00:12:48.424 --> 00:12:50.359
David: we're going to have better bodies and better awareness.
00:12:50.426 --> 00:12:52.995
Better bodies and better awareness. and as far as where are

And better awareness. and as far as where are all these people going to fit,
00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:56.065
And as far as where are all these people going to fit, you know the bible describes
00:12:56.131 --> 00:12:57.299
All these people going to fit, you know the bible describes the new city
00:12:57.366 --> 00:12:59.134
You know the bible describes the new city as it's 1500 miles wide,
00:12:59.201 --> 00:13:02.872
The new city as it's 1500 miles wide, 1500 miles long,
00:13:02.938 --> 00:13:05.174
As it's 1500 miles wide, 1500 miles long, and it's 1500 miles high.
00:13:05.241 --> 00:13:07.910
1500 miles long, and it's 1500 miles high. heaven, the city,
00:13:07.977 --> 00:13:09.345
And it's 1500 miles high. heaven, the city, the holy city is going to be
00:13:09.411 --> 00:13:10.880
Heaven, the city, the holy city is going to be a place of many levels.
00:13:10.946 --> 00:13:12.548
The holy city is going to be a place of many levels. if it is 1500 miles high
00:13:12.615 --> 00:13:15.885
A place of many levels. if it is 1500 miles high you could have 1500 stories
00:13:15.951 --> 00:13:19.288
If it is 1500 miles high you could have 1500 stories a mile high.
00:13:19.355 --> 00:13:21.390
You could have 1500 stories a mile high. and somebody has...
00:13:21.457 --> 00:13:22.858
A mile high. and somebody has... i mean i've read
00:13:22.925 --> 00:13:24.126
And somebody has... i mean i've read all the statistics on how
00:13:24.193 --> 00:13:25.694
I mean i've read all the statistics on how this is going to happen.
00:13:25.761 --> 00:13:26.962
All the statistics on how this is going to happen. it says, how are you
00:13:27.029 --> 00:13:28.097
This is going to happen. it says, how are you going to get around?
00:13:28.163 --> 00:13:29.265
It says, how are you going to get around? well, when jesus came
00:13:29.331 --> 00:13:30.432
Going to get around? well, when jesus came out of the grave
00:13:30.499 --> 00:13:31.700
Well, when jesus came out of the grave in his glorified body
00:13:31.767 --> 00:13:33.235
Out of the grave in his glorified body he no longer was veiling
00:13:33.302 --> 00:13:34.870
In his glorified body he no longer was veiling his attributes.
00:13:34.937 --> 00:13:36.171
He no longer was veiling his attributes. he was able
00:13:36.238 --> 00:13:37.539
His attributes. he was able to move through doors,
00:13:37.606 --> 00:13:38.741
He was able to move through doors, he was able to be in one place
00:13:38.807 --> 00:13:39.942
To move through doors, he was able to be in one place and then another place.
00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:41.243
He was able to be in one place and then another place. he suddenly appeared.
00:13:41.310 --> 00:13:42.478
And then another place. he suddenly appeared. i don't know how
00:13:42.544 --> 00:13:43.679
He suddenly appeared. i don't know how that's going to work
00:13:43.746 --> 00:13:44.947
I don't know how that's going to work but with this huge city
00:13:45.014 --> 00:13:46.081
That's going to work but with this huge city you'll be able to move about
00:13:46.148 --> 00:13:47.216
But with this huge city you'll be able to move about in different places.
00:13:47.283 --> 00:13:48.584
You'll be able to move about in different places. and the lord jesus
00:13:48.651 --> 00:13:50.119
In different places. and the lord jesus will be available to us.
00:13:50.185 --> 00:13:52.621
And the lord jesus will be available to us. here's something i taught
00:13:52.688 --> 00:13:53.956
Will be available to us. here's something i taught a couple of weeks ago
00:13:54.023 --> 00:13:55.157
Here's something i taught a couple of weeks ago that shocked everybody.
00:13:55.224 --> 00:13:56.458
A couple of weeks ago that shocked everybody. i've been doing
00:13:56.525 --> 00:13:57.760
That shocked everybody. i've been doing a little series called,
00:13:57.826 --> 00:13:58.928
I've been doing a little series called, "what you may not know
00:13:58.994 --> 00:14:00.262
A little series called, "what you may not know about jesus."
00:14:00.329 --> 00:14:01.497
"what you may not know about jesus." here's what you may not know.
00:14:01.563 --> 00:14:06.035
About jesus." here's what you may not know. in heaven
00:14:06.101 --> 00:14:07.703
Here's what you may not know. in heaven jesus is in his body.
00:14:07.770 --> 00:14:09.238
In heaven jesus is in his body. he went up
00:14:09.305 --> 00:14:10.673
Jesus is in his body. he went up in his resurrection body
00:14:10.739 --> 00:14:12.141
He went up in his resurrection body and the angel said,
00:14:12.207 --> 00:14:13.409
In his resurrection body and the angel said, "this same jesus
00:14:13.475 --> 00:14:14.710
And the angel said, "this same jesus who was taken up from you
00:14:14.777 --> 00:14:16.011
"this same jesus who was taken up from you will come in like manner."
00:14:16.078 --> 00:14:17.513
Who was taken up from you will come in like manner." so that means he is in heaven
00:14:17.579 --> 00:14:20.749
Will come in like manner." so that means he is in heaven right now in his humanity.
00:14:20.816 --> 00:14:23.085
So that means he is in heaven right now in his humanity. i remember reading,
00:14:23.152 --> 00:14:24.553
Right now in his humanity. i remember reading, god loves humanity
00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:25.888
I remember reading, god loves humanity so much that he allows
00:14:25.955 --> 00:14:27.456
God loves humanity so much that he allows his own son
00:14:27.523 --> 00:14:29.158
So much that he allows his own son to live in humanity
00:14:29.224 --> 00:14:30.759
His own son to live in humanity at the right hand
00:14:30.826 --> 00:14:32.294
To live in humanity at the right hand of the father.
00:14:32.361 --> 00:14:33.729
At the right hand of the father. so when i pray today
00:14:33.796 --> 00:14:35.297
Of the father. so when i pray today and i ask god to help me
00:14:35.364 --> 00:14:36.832
So when i pray today and i ask god to help me through jesus christ,
00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:38.233
And i ask god to help me through jesus christ, i'm actually talking to jesus
00:14:38.300 --> 00:14:39.501
Through jesus christ, i'm actually talking to jesus who is still in his humanity
00:14:39.568 --> 00:14:41.070
I'm actually talking to jesus who is still in his humanity even though he is in heaven.
00:14:41.136 --> 00:14:43.906
Who is still in his humanity even though he is in heaven. isn't that amazing?
00:14:43.973 --> 00:14:45.874
Even though he is in heaven. isn't that amazing? now that's something
00:14:45.941 --> 00:14:47.476
Isn't that amazing? now that's something that most people don't know
00:14:47.543 --> 00:14:48.877
Now that's something that most people don't know about jesus.
00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:50.212
That most people don't know about jesus. sheila: no!
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.380
With the marks of crucifixion?
00:14:52.748 --> 00:14:53.816
With the marks of crucifixion? david: absolutely!
00:14:53.882 --> 00:14:54.984
David: absolutely! that's what's so beautiful
00:14:55.050 --> 00:14:56.085
That's what's so beautiful about that.
00:14:56.151 --> 00:14:57.252
About that. when you see him
00:14:57.319 --> 00:14:58.387
When you see him you will be able to see
00:14:58.454 --> 00:14:59.455
And in his feet.
00:15:00.622 --> 00:15:01.657
And in his feet. the marks of your redemption
00:15:01.724 --> 00:15:02.691
And in his feet. the marks of your redemption will always be available
00:15:02.758 --> 00:15:03.892
The marks of your redemption will always be available for you to know what he did
00:15:03.959 --> 00:15:05.227
Will always be available for you to know what he did so that you could be there.
00:15:05.294 --> 00:15:06.862
For you to know what he did so that you could be there. sheila: why do you think
00:15:06.929 --> 00:15:07.896
So that you could be there. sheila: why do you think he chose to rise
00:15:07.963 --> 00:15:08.998
Sheila: why do you think he chose to rise with those marks?
00:15:09.064 --> 00:15:10.099
He chose to rise with those marks? he could have left those
00:15:10.165 --> 00:15:11.200
With those marks? he could have left those behind in the tomb.
00:15:11.266 --> 00:15:12.301
He could have left those behind in the tomb. why do you think he kept...
00:15:12.368 --> 00:15:13.435
Behind in the tomb. why do you think he kept... the only scars in heaven
00:15:13.502 --> 00:15:14.536
Why do you think he kept... the only scars in heaven will be the scars of christ.
00:15:14.603 --> 00:15:15.704
The only scars in heaven will be the scars of christ. david: that's right.
00:15:15.771 --> 00:15:19.141
Will be the scars of christ. david: that's right. he understands
00:15:19.208 --> 00:15:20.843
David: that's right. he understands how desperate we need
00:15:20.909 --> 00:15:23.579
He understands how desperate we need to be reminded of this.
00:15:23.645 --> 00:15:25.214
How desperate we need to be reminded of this. in fact, isn't that
00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:26.482
To be reminded of this. in fact, isn't that what communion is about?
00:15:26.548 --> 00:15:27.549
In fact, isn't that what communion is about? "this do
00:15:27.616 --> 00:15:28.684
What communion is about? "this do in remembrance of me."
00:15:28.751 --> 00:15:30.619
"this do in remembrance of me." and so those scars
00:15:30.686 --> 00:15:32.054
In remembrance of me." and so those scars will always be there
00:15:32.121 --> 00:15:33.389
And so those scars will always be there as a motivation for worship,
00:15:33.455 --> 00:15:34.490
Will always be there as a motivation for worship, i think.
00:15:34.556 --> 00:15:35.758
As a motivation for worship, i think. when we see his scars
00:15:35.824 --> 00:15:37.092
I think. when we see his scars we will worship him
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:38.494
When we see his scars we will worship him as never before.
00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:41.330
We will worship him as never before. sheila: i've got a question.
00:15:41.397 --> 00:15:42.631
As never before. sheila: i've got a question. actually, it was just
00:15:42.698 --> 00:15:43.665
Sheila: i've got a question. actually, it was just last weekend where i was out
00:15:43.732 --> 00:15:44.700
Actually, it was just last weekend where i was out when a young guy
00:15:44.767 --> 00:15:46.435
Last weekend where i was out when a young guy probably 14-15 said,
00:15:46.502 --> 00:15:50.439
"when i gave my life to christ
00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.673
"when i gave my life to christ my mom told me
00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:52.741
"when i gave my life to christ my mom told me that my name was written
00:15:52.808 --> 00:15:53.809
David: christians
00:15:58.280 --> 00:15:59.281
David: christians cannot be erased
00:15:59.348 --> 00:16:00.449
David: christians cannot be erased for the lamb's book of life.
00:16:00.516 --> 00:16:01.850
Cannot be erased for the lamb's book of life. it's impossible
00:16:01.917 --> 00:16:02.985
For the lamb's book of life. it's impossible for that to happen.
00:16:03.052 --> 00:16:04.086
It's impossible for that to happen. somebody probably may want
00:16:04.153 --> 00:16:05.254
For that to happen. somebody probably may want to argue with me about that
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.288
Somebody probably may want to argue with me about that but i believe
00:16:06.355 --> 00:16:07.456
To argue with me about that but i believe that when you commit your life
00:16:07.523 --> 00:16:08.557
But i believe that when you commit your life to jesus christ he says,
00:16:08.624 --> 00:16:09.758
That when you commit your life to jesus christ he says, "and i give unto them
00:16:09.825 --> 00:16:10.859
To jesus christ he says, "and i give unto them eternal life
00:16:10.926 --> 00:16:12.094
"and i give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish."
00:16:12.161 --> 00:16:15.697
Eternal life and they shall never perish." the lamb's book of life is
00:16:15.764 --> 00:16:17.232
And they shall never perish." the lamb's book of life is an interesting little story
00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:18.400
The lamb's book of life is an interesting little story because it is different
00:16:18.467 --> 00:16:19.468
An interesting little story because it is different than most people think.
00:16:19.535 --> 00:16:20.669
Because it is different than most people think. in the roman and greek cities,
00:16:20.736 --> 00:16:22.538
Than most people think. in the roman and greek cities, bible days, they had
00:16:22.604 --> 00:16:24.039
In the roman and greek cities, bible days, they had a register of the people
00:16:24.106 --> 00:16:25.274
Bible days, they had a register of the people who lived in the city;
00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:26.408
A register of the people who lived in the city; they were in
00:16:26.475 --> 00:16:27.576
Who lived in the city; they were in the city's registry.
00:16:27.643 --> 00:16:28.811
They were in the city's registry. if they were convicted
00:16:28.877 --> 00:16:31.346
The city's registry. if they were convicted of a horrible crime
00:16:31.413 --> 00:16:33.082
If they were convicted of a horrible crime or if they committed murder
00:16:33.148 --> 00:16:34.550
Of a horrible crime or if they committed murder their names would be taken
00:16:34.616 --> 00:16:35.918
Or if they committed murder their names would be taken out of the list.
00:16:35.984 --> 00:16:37.953
Their names would be taken out of the list. so the book of life
00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:39.254
Out of the list. so the book of life in the new testament,
00:16:39.321 --> 00:16:40.489
So the book of life in the new testament, the book of revelation
00:16:40.556 --> 00:16:41.557
In the new testament, the book of revelation basically, it is a book
00:16:41.623 --> 00:16:42.691
The book of revelation basically, it is a book in which every name is written
00:16:42.758 --> 00:16:43.959
Basically, it is a book in which every name is written of everybody who was ever born
00:16:44.026 --> 00:16:45.227
In which every name is written of everybody who was ever born and if they get to the end
00:16:45.294 --> 00:16:46.495
Of everybody who was ever born and if they get to the end of their life and they haven't
00:16:46.562 --> 00:16:47.863
And if they get to the end of their life and they haven't received jesus christ
00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:49.298
Of their life and they haven't received jesus christ their name is removed
00:16:49.364 --> 00:16:50.899
Received jesus christ their name is removed from the book of life.
00:16:50.966 --> 00:16:52.301
Their name is removed from the book of life. that's different
00:16:52.367 --> 00:16:53.669
From the book of life. that's different than most people think
00:16:53.735 --> 00:16:54.837
That's different than most people think but that's what
00:16:54.903 --> 00:16:56.071
Than most people think but that's what the scripture teaches.
00:16:56.138 --> 00:16:57.239
But that's what the scripture teaches. sheila: in revelation 21,
00:16:57.306 --> 00:16:58.540
The scripture teaches. sheila: in revelation 21, there is always been something
00:16:58.607 --> 00:16:59.842
Sheila: in revelation 21, there is always been something that i've never
00:16:59.908 --> 00:17:00.943
There is always been something that i've never quite understood.
00:17:01.009 --> 00:17:02.111
That i've never quite understood. it says that
00:17:02.177 --> 00:17:03.178
Quite understood. it says that the sea will also be gone.
00:17:03.245 --> 00:17:04.379
It says that the sea will also be gone. will there be no sea?
00:17:04.446 --> 00:17:05.447
The sea will also be gone. will there be no sea? david: you and my wife!
00:17:05.514 --> 00:17:06.548
Will there be no sea? david: you and my wife! sheila: good company
00:17:06.615 --> 00:17:07.716
David: you and my wife! sheila: good company with donna!
00:17:07.783 --> 00:17:08.784
Sheila: good company with donna! david: donna loves the ocean
00:17:08.851 --> 00:17:09.952
With donna! david: donna loves the ocean and one day
00:17:10.018 --> 00:17:11.053
David: donna loves the ocean and one day when i preached on that
00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:12.121
And one day when i preached on that she said, "you know what?
00:17:12.187 --> 00:17:13.188
When i preached on that she said, "you know what? i was excited about heaven
00:17:13.255 --> 00:17:14.356
She said, "you know what? i was excited about heaven until you told me there wasn't
00:17:14.423 --> 00:17:15.591
I was excited about heaven until you told me there wasn't going to be any ocean!"
00:17:15.657 --> 00:17:16.725
Until you told me there wasn't going to be any ocean!" well, i don't pretend
00:17:16.792 --> 00:17:17.793
Going to be any ocean!" well, i don't pretend to know all of what
00:17:17.860 --> 00:17:18.861
Well, i don't pretend to know all of what was in god's mind for that
00:17:18.927 --> 00:17:20.129
To know all of what was in god's mind for that but we need to remember
00:17:20.195 --> 00:17:21.363
Was in god's mind for that but we need to remember there will be water in heaven.
00:17:21.430 --> 00:17:23.198
But we need to remember there will be water in heaven. the bible says
00:17:23.265 --> 00:17:24.399
There will be water in heaven. the bible says there's a river that flows
00:17:24.466 --> 00:17:25.567
The bible says there's a river that flows from the throne of god
00:17:25.634 --> 00:17:26.902
There's a river that flows from the throne of god all the way --
00:17:26.969 --> 00:17:28.403
From the throne of god all the way -- and it's bordered
00:17:28.470 --> 00:17:30.005
All the way -- and it's bordered by the 12 trees of...
00:17:30.072 --> 00:17:32.808
And it's bordered by the 12 trees of... fruit trees.
00:17:32.875 --> 00:17:34.176
By the 12 trees of... fruit trees. it's a beautiful scene
00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:35.410
Fruit trees. it's a beautiful scene when you read about it.
00:17:35.477 --> 00:17:36.845
It's a beautiful scene when you read about it. but 75% of our world
00:17:36.912 --> 00:17:39.481
When you read about it. but 75% of our world is ocean water; salt water,
00:17:39.548 --> 00:17:43.185
But 75% of our world is ocean water; salt water, and salt is a preservative.
00:17:43.252 --> 00:17:45.154
Is ocean water; salt water, and salt is a preservative. when you get to heaven,
00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:46.321
And salt is a preservative. when you get to heaven, you don't need that anymore.
00:17:46.388 --> 00:17:47.689
When you get to heaven, you don't need that anymore. when you get to heaven
00:17:47.756 --> 00:17:48.891
You don't need that anymore. when you get to heaven you don't need a preservative
00:17:48.957 --> 00:17:50.025
When you get to heaven you don't need a preservative in the ecological system.
00:17:50.092 --> 00:17:51.560
You don't need a preservative in the ecological system. god's ecological system
00:17:51.627 --> 00:17:52.928
In the ecological system. god's ecological system will be perfect
00:17:52.995 --> 00:17:54.429
God's ecological system will be perfect and there will be water.
00:17:54.496 --> 00:17:55.797
Will be perfect and there will be water. and i'm sure
00:17:55.864 --> 00:17:57.166
And there will be water. and i'm sure you and donna will be able
00:17:57.232 --> 00:17:58.433
And i'm sure you and donna will be able to find a place on the shore.
00:17:58.500 --> 00:17:59.801
You and donna will be able to find a place on the shore. sheila: to paddle!
00:17:59.868 --> 00:18:00.969
To find a place on the shore. sheila: to paddle! [laughter]

00:18:04.706 --> 00:18:05.874
Going to heaven?
00:18:07.109 --> 00:18:08.210
Going to heaven? sheila: yes!
00:18:08.277 --> 00:18:09.411

Here's what i heard. i had a little girl write me a letter.
00:18:20.355 --> 00:18:21.590
I had a little girl write me a letter. she says, "i don't know

Write me a letter. she says, "i don't know why you keep asking
00:18:23.125 --> 00:18:24.560
She says, "i don't know why you keep asking are animals in heaven?"
00:18:24.626 --> 00:18:25.861
Why you keep asking are animals in heaven?" she said, "when jesus
00:18:25.928 --> 00:18:27.062
Are animals in heaven?" she said, "when jesus comes back at the end
00:18:27.129 --> 00:18:28.263
She said, "when jesus comes back at the end he is riding on a white horse.
00:18:28.330 --> 00:18:29.364
Comes back at the end he is riding on a white horse. and if horses are in heaven,
00:18:29.431 --> 00:18:30.399
He is riding on a white horse. and if horses are in heaven, dogs must be in heaven."
00:18:30.465 --> 00:18:32.301
And if horses are in heaven, dogs must be in heaven." i'm not sure about cats
00:18:32.367 --> 00:18:33.802
Dogs must be in heaven." i'm not sure about cats but i'm pretty sure
00:18:33.869 --> 00:18:35.070
I'm not sure about cats but i'm pretty sure about dogs.

Of dr. jeremiah's book, revealing the mysteries of heaven .

You have ever asked or even those you didn't even think to ask
00:18:47.316 --> 00:18:48.417
Or even those you didn't even think to ask are in there.
00:18:48.483 --> 00:18:49.718
But before that, i want
00:18:50.185 --> 00:18:51.420
To show you some people
00:18:51.486 --> 00:18:52.654
Who are reaching out
00:18:52.721 --> 00:18:53.722
For help right now.
00:18:53.789 --> 00:18:54.923
Maybe they're not looking
00:18:54.990 --> 00:18:56.391
For the ocean, they're just
00:18:56.458 --> 00:18:57.726
Looking for clean water.
00:18:57.793 --> 00:18:59.995
It is our commitment
00:19:00.062 --> 00:19:01.463
This year to put in 350 wells
00:19:01.530 --> 00:19:04.299
In over 20 nations.
00:19:04.366 --> 00:19:06.134
I wept with many mothers
00:19:06.201 --> 00:19:08.136
On this trip in africa
00:19:08.203 --> 00:19:09.805
But i also got to watch
00:19:09.871 --> 00:19:11.440
As a fresh well
00:19:11.506 --> 00:19:12.874
Was drilled down
00:19:12.941 --> 00:19:14.743
And clean water spurted up
00:19:14.810 --> 00:19:16.712
For the first time.
00:19:16.778 --> 00:19:18.146
I'll never forget the joy
00:19:18.213 --> 00:19:19.481
On children's faces
00:19:19.548 --> 00:19:20.916
To be able to have,
00:19:20.983 --> 00:19:22.117
Maybe at 14,
00:19:22.184 --> 00:19:23.452
The very first glass
00:19:23.518 --> 00:19:24.753
Of clean water
00:19:24.820 --> 00:19:26.154
You've ever had in your life!
00:19:26.221 --> 00:19:27.656
So that trip changed me.
00:19:27.723 --> 00:19:29.057
I will never forget
00:19:29.124 --> 00:19:30.459
These mothers
00:19:30.525 --> 00:19:31.827
And we will never stop
00:19:31.893 --> 00:19:33.228
Until every village
00:19:33.295 --> 00:19:34.796
Has access to clean water.
00:19:34.863 --> 00:19:36.298
So please, will you help us?
00:19:36.365 --> 00:19:38.433

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:40.869
Clean water for ten people.

00:19:43.005 --> 00:19:45.574
For 30 people.
00:19:45.641 --> 00:19:47.109
You know, we can actually
00:19:47.175 --> 00:19:48.510
Put one of these amazing wells
00:19:48.577 --> 00:19:49.811
That will last
00:19:49.878 --> 00:19:51.280
For about 70 years,
00:19:51.346 --> 00:19:52.481
It goes down
00:19:52.547 --> 00:19:53.915
Three levels of water
00:19:53.982 --> 00:19:55.217
And then it is encased
00:19:55.284 --> 00:19:56.618
So nothing can get in.
00:19:56.685 --> 00:19:58.086

That god heard their prayers
00:20:07.863 --> 00:20:09.064

Jennifer: hi! i'm jennifer rothschild. i want to tell you
00:22:28.637 --> 00:22:29.671
I'm jennifer rothschild. i want to tell you what happened when my son,
00:22:29.738 --> 00:22:30.839
I want to tell you what happened when my son, clayton was about
00:22:30.906 --> 00:22:32.040
What happened when my son, clayton was about eight years old.
00:22:32.107 --> 00:22:33.208
Clayton was about eight years old. see, i had been blind
00:22:33.275 --> 00:22:34.943
Eight years old. see, i had been blind since i was a teenage girl
00:22:35.010 --> 00:22:36.978
So here i was a young mom,
00:22:37.078 --> 00:22:39.080
So here i was a young mom, and obviously, i couldn't
00:22:39.147 --> 00:22:40.415
So here i was a young mom, and obviously, i couldn't see my son's face.
00:22:40.482 --> 00:22:42.451
And obviously, i couldn't see my son's face. i couldn't see a lot of things
00:22:42.517 --> 00:22:43.952
See my son's face. i couldn't see a lot of things that i needed to do as a mom,
00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:45.687
I couldn't see a lot of things that i needed to do as a mom, but one thing that was
00:22:45.754 --> 00:22:47.022
That i needed to do as a mom, but one thing that was especially challenging,
00:22:47.088 --> 00:22:48.323
But one thing that was especially challenging, and sometimes it was humorous,
00:22:48.390 --> 00:22:50.292
Especially challenging, and sometimes it was humorous, was trying to find games
00:22:50.358 --> 00:22:52.494
And sometimes it was humorous, was trying to find games that i could play with my son
00:22:52.561 --> 00:22:54.963
Was trying to find games that i could play with my son where obviously he didn't
00:22:55.030 --> 00:22:56.264
That i could play with my son where obviously he didn't have the clear advantage
00:22:56.331 --> 00:22:59.935
Where obviously he didn't have the clear advantage of just smearing his mom.
00:23:00.001 --> 00:23:02.437
Have the clear advantage of just smearing his mom. so this day, clayton found
00:23:02.504 --> 00:23:04.973
Of just smearing his mom. so this day, clayton found a new game that he thought
00:23:05.040 --> 00:23:06.174
So this day, clayton found a new game that he thought we could play together.
00:23:06.241 --> 00:23:07.476
A new game that he thought we could play together. so i'll never forget
00:23:07.542 --> 00:23:08.710
We could play together. so i'll never forget as we're sitting on
00:23:08.777 --> 00:23:09.878
So i'll never forget as we're sitting on his blue bedroom carpet,
00:23:09.945 --> 00:23:11.379
As we're sitting on his blue bedroom carpet, clayton opens up the box
00:23:11.446 --> 00:23:13.048
His blue bedroom carpet, clayton opens up the box and he lays out the gameboard.

And we began to play the game. well, as we began to play this game, of course,
00:23:22.290 --> 00:23:23.725
Well, as we began to play this game, of course, i couldn't see what was on
00:23:23.792 --> 00:23:25.293
This game, of course, i couldn't see what was on the gameboard so i'm trying
00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:26.528
I couldn't see what was on the gameboard so i'm trying to move little men.

Finally, i said to clayton, “son, you need to pick a new game.
00:23:38.406 --> 00:23:39.608
“son, you need to pick a new game. you need to find a game
00:23:39.674 --> 00:23:41.176
A new game. you need to find a game that you know that
00:23:41.243 --> 00:23:42.477
You need to find a game that you know that we've played before
00:23:42.544 --> 00:23:43.979
That you know that we've played before that we can play together.”
00:23:44.045 --> 00:23:45.447
We've played before that we can play together.” well, clayton was
00:23:45.514 --> 00:23:46.648
That we can play together.” well, clayton was really quiet as he started
00:23:46.715 --> 00:23:48.316
Well, clayton was really quiet as he started to clean up this game.
00:23:48.383 --> 00:23:50.051
Really quiet as he started to clean up this game. you know how it is when
00:23:50.118 --> 00:23:51.086
To clean up this game. you know how it is when you love somebody and
00:23:51.152 --> 00:23:52.254
You know how it is when you love somebody and you know that even in

You love somebody and you know that even in their silence you can really

You know that even in their silence you can really tell their wheels are turning,
00:23:55.257 --> 00:23:56.691
Their silence you can really tell their wheels are turning, like they're thinking
00:23:56.758 --> 00:23:57.893
Tell their wheels are turning, like they're thinking of something.
00:23:57.959 --> 00:23:59.561

But maybe god's not answering some of those prayers that you wish he would answer
00:25:47.335 --> 00:25:48.503
Some of those prayers that you wish he would answer here on earth because
