But betty and i have been putting god's arms around people now
00:01:41.024 --> 00:01:42.091
Putting god's arms around people now for the last 30 to 40 years.
00:01:42.158 --> 00:01:44.460
Around people now for the last 30 to 40 years. the first 30 to 40,
00:01:44.527 --> 00:01:45.762
For the last 30 to 40 years. the first 30 to 40, i was doing the stadium
00:01:45.828 --> 00:01:47.363
The first 30 to 40, i was doing the stadium and coliseum crusades
00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:49.732
I was doing the stadium and coliseum crusades and winning millions of people
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:50.967
And coliseum crusades and winning millions of people to the lord.
00:01:51.034 --> 00:01:52.168
And winning millions of people to the lord. but when god sent me
00:01:52.235 --> 00:01:53.570
To the lord. but when god sent me to the third world,
00:01:53.636 --> 00:01:56.472
But when god sent me to the third world, we then began to put arms
00:01:56.539 --> 00:01:58.841
To the third world, we then began to put arms around millions of people.
00:01:58.908 --> 00:02:00.176
We then began to put arms around millions of people. but we began to lead
00:02:00.243 --> 00:02:01.544
Around millions of people. but we began to lead more people to the lord
00:02:01.611 --> 00:02:03.046
But we began to lead more people to the lord in a year than i had led
00:02:03.112 --> 00:02:05.281
More people to the lord in a year than i had led to the lord in ten years
00:02:05.348 --> 00:02:07.016
In a year than i had led to the lord in ten years in the crusades because
00:02:07.083 --> 00:02:08.718
To the lord in ten years in the crusades because we were having missionaries
00:02:08.785 --> 00:02:12.055
In the crusades because we were having missionaries that had resurrected the dying
00:02:12.121 --> 00:02:14.524
We were having missionaries that had resurrected the dying and showing them the power
00:02:14.591 --> 00:02:15.925
That had resurrected the dying and showing them the power of love, not just in a message
00:02:15.992 --> 00:02:17.894
And showing them the power of love, not just in a message but in demonstration.
00:02:17.961 --> 00:02:19.562
Of love, not just in a message but in demonstration. and we were winning millions

While we were doing all this, god began to show me what he wanted to do
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:32.642
God began to show me what he wanted to do in the last days.
00:02:32.709 --> 00:02:34.611
What he wanted to do in the last days. we are 80 years old,
00:02:34.677 --> 00:02:37.947
In the last days. we are 80 years old, and we're definitely living
00:02:38.014 --> 00:02:39.282
We are 80 years old, and we're definitely living in our last days.

In our last days. if we live to be 100, we've lived 80% of our life.

We've lived 80% of our life. if you are 60, you've lived 60% of your life
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:45.822
If you are 60, you've lived 60% of your life if you go to 100.
00:02:45.888 --> 00:02:47.223
You've lived 60% of your life if you go to 100. most people don't
00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:48.291
If you go to 100. most people don't get that far.
00:02:48.358 --> 00:02:49.359
Most people don't get that far. we're living our last days.

Most of the people who are past 40 or 50 realize they're in trouble
00:02:57.066 --> 00:02:59.202
Who are past 40 or 50 realize they're in trouble and need a miracle.
00:02:59.269 --> 00:03:01.070
Realize they're in trouble and need a miracle. the miracle that we need
00:03:01.137 --> 00:03:02.372
And need a miracle. the miracle that we need is a supernatural
00:03:02.438 --> 00:03:03.506
The miracle that we need is a supernatural spiritual awakening.

Spiritual awakening. i believe god has shown me that if we will release
00:03:07.543 --> 00:03:08.711
I believe god has shown me that if we will release a river of life,
00:03:08.778 --> 00:03:10.346
That if we will release a river of life, a river of transforming love
00:03:10.413 --> 00:03:13.082

Spiritual awakening in the history of the world. betty, i believe
00:03:18.821 --> 00:03:19.756
In the history of the world. betty, i believe it is possible to bring
00:03:19.822 --> 00:03:20.857
Betty, i believe it is possible to bring billions of people to
00:03:20.923 --> 00:03:22.058
It is possible to bring billions of people to a personal relationship
00:03:22.125 --> 00:03:23.192
Billions of people to a personal relationship with jesus in a very
00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:24.527
A personal relationship with jesus in a very short period of time.
00:03:24.594 --> 00:03:25.862
With jesus in a very short period of time. well, what we need to do
00:03:25.928 --> 00:03:27.130
Is we need to stream
00:03:27.230 --> 00:03:28.731
Is we need to stream the river of life.
00:03:28.798 --> 00:03:29.799
Is we need to stream the river of life. years ago, god showed me
00:03:29.866 --> 00:03:31.701
The river of life. years ago, god showed me how you can take the power
00:03:31.768 --> 00:03:33.069
Years ago, god showed me how you can take the power of a river.
00:03:33.136 --> 00:03:34.404
How you can take the power of a river. let's say the colorado river.
00:03:34.470 --> 00:03:36.506
Of a river. let's say the colorado river. the colorado river was
00:03:36.572 --> 00:03:37.607
Flowing water everywhere.
00:03:37.707 --> 00:03:39.242
Flowing water everywhere. and of course,
00:03:39.309 --> 00:03:40.276
Flowing water everywhere. and of course, it had natural tributaries,
00:03:40.343 --> 00:03:41.611
And of course, it had natural tributaries, and they would be lush areas.
00:03:41.678 --> 00:03:43.546
It had natural tributaries, and they would be lush areas. but the idea of holding
00:03:43.613 --> 00:03:46.149
And they would be lush areas. but the idea of holding that river back,
00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:47.583
But the idea of holding that river back, damming it like boulder dam,
00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:50.286
That river back, damming it like boulder dam, like other big dams,
00:03:50.353 --> 00:03:52.288
Damming it like boulder dam, like other big dams, but to hold it and then
00:03:52.355 --> 00:03:54.257
Like other big dams, but to hold it and then release it under control,
00:03:54.324 --> 00:03:56.459
But to hold it and then release it under control, and then direct the water
00:03:56.526 --> 00:03:58.761
Release it under control, and then direct the water to the thirstiest areas
00:03:58.828 --> 00:04:00.229
And then direct the water to the thirstiest areas on the planet.
00:04:00.296 --> 00:04:01.497
To the thirstiest areas on the planet. you can take a barren desert
00:04:01.564 --> 00:04:04.734
On the planet. you can take a barren desert and turn it into one
00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:05.868
You can take a barren desert and turn it into one of the most luxurious,
00:04:05.935 --> 00:04:07.270
And turn it into one of the most luxurious, beautiful places,
00:04:07.337 --> 00:04:08.638
Of the most luxurious, beautiful places, an oasis on the planet.
00:04:08.705 --> 00:04:10.406
Beautiful places, an oasis on the planet. you can see that in places
00:04:10.473 --> 00:04:11.774
An oasis on the planet. you can see that in places like arizona,
00:04:11.841 --> 00:04:13.376
You can see that in places like arizona, all around phoenix.
00:04:13.443 --> 00:04:14.777
Like arizona, all around phoenix. i was in phoenix when
00:04:14.844 --> 00:04:16.145
All around phoenix. i was in phoenix when it was like a desert;
00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:17.613
I was in phoenix when it was like a desert; then i saw it just explode!
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:19.048
It was like a desert; then i saw it just explode! life everywhere.
00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:20.483
Then i saw it just explode! life everywhere. you put water on
00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:21.718
Life everywhere. you put water on a fertile field and you get
00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:22.952
You put water on a fertile field and you get the most beautiful crops.
00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:24.153
A fertile field and you get the most beautiful crops. you give it to your wildlife
00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:26.089
The most beautiful crops. you give it to your wildlife and to your animals
00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:28.024
You give it to your wildlife and to your animals and everything that we need
00:04:28.091 --> 00:04:29.425
And to your animals and everything that we need and it makes it better.
00:04:29.492 --> 00:04:31.027
And everything that we need and it makes it better. so, think about this.
00:04:31.094 --> 00:04:33.129
And it makes it better. so, think about this. jesus is the water of life.
00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:36.132
So, think about this. jesus is the water of life. we can release the water
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.334
Jesus is the water of life. we can release the water of life in tributaries
00:04:38.401 --> 00:04:42.205
We can release the water of life in tributaries directed to the most
00:04:42.271 --> 00:04:43.873
Of life in tributaries directed to the most barren areas in greatest need,
00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:46.376
Directed to the most barren areas in greatest need, to the most potentially
00:04:46.442 --> 00:04:48.511
Barren areas in greatest need, to the most potentially productive areas in the world,
00:04:48.578 --> 00:04:50.813
To the most potentially productive areas in the world, to areas where
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:52.048
Productive areas in the world, to areas where if they have water,
00:04:52.115 --> 00:04:53.249
It'll explode.
00:04:53.349 --> 00:04:54.450
It'll explode. that's the same thing
00:04:54.517 --> 00:04:56.085
It'll explode. that's the same thing that we can do with the truth
00:04:56.152 --> 00:04:57.720
That's the same thing that we can do with the truth that transforms.
00:04:57.787 --> 00:04:59.155
That we can do with the truth that transforms. betty, god gave me
00:04:59.222 --> 00:05:00.390
That transforms. betty, god gave me a vision years ago
00:05:00.456 --> 00:05:02.392
Betty, god gave me a vision years ago to launch what would
00:05:02.458 --> 00:05:03.459
Be called the stream .
00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:05.361
Be called the stream . and that stream would be
00:05:05.428 --> 00:05:06.462
Be called the stream . and that stream would be the stream of living water
00:05:06.529 --> 00:05:09.465
And that stream would be the stream of living water proclaimed in demonstration
00:05:09.532 --> 00:05:11.901
The stream of living water proclaimed in demonstration through our lives
00:05:11.968 --> 00:05:13.269
Proclaimed in demonstration through our lives and through our messages
00:05:13.336 --> 00:05:14.804
Through our lives and through our messages proclaimed by the churches,
00:05:14.871 --> 00:05:16.873
And through our messages proclaimed by the churches, not just in a sermon,
00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:18.741
Proclaimed by the churches, not just in a sermon, but in the testimonies
00:05:18.808 --> 00:05:19.909
Not just in a sermon, but in the testimonies of lives that have
00:05:19.976 --> 00:05:21.277
But in the testimonies of lives that have been transformed
00:05:21.344 --> 00:05:22.945
Of lives that have been transformed and living water is flowing
00:05:23.012 --> 00:05:24.247
Been transformed and living water is flowing freely through us
00:05:24.313 --> 00:05:25.648
And living water is flowing freely through us so that everything we touch,
00:05:25.715 --> 00:05:27.850
Freely through us so that everything we touch, we have a positive effect
00:05:27.917 --> 00:05:29.118
So that everything we touch, we have a positive effect on it.
00:05:29.185 --> 00:05:30.353
We have a positive effect on it. and the lord has just
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:32.188
Given me such a burden
00:05:32.288 --> 00:05:33.389
Given me such a burden to build it.
00:05:33.456 --> 00:05:35.358
Given me such a burden to build it. i launched the stream
00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:36.626
To build it. i launched the stream years ago.
00:05:36.692 --> 00:05:37.860
I launched the stream years ago. i wanted to wait for god
00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:39.128
Years ago. i wanted to wait for god to show us the people,
00:05:39.195 --> 00:05:40.663
I wanted to wait for god to show us the people, and then raise up the people
00:05:40.730 --> 00:05:42.198
To show us the people, and then raise up the people that would finance it
00:05:42.265 --> 00:05:43.733
And then raise up the people that would finance it so that we could build it
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.034
That would finance it so that we could build it to the point that
00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:46.169
Every person on earth
00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:47.737
Every person on earth could access it.
00:05:47.804 --> 00:05:49.338
Every person on earth could access it. this has to be not
00:05:49.405 --> 00:05:51.107
Could access it. this has to be not a television channel,
00:05:51.174 --> 00:05:52.608
This has to be not a television channel, but free marketing.
00:05:52.675 --> 00:05:53.776
A television channel, but free marketing. i don't even understand
00:05:53.843 --> 00:05:55.011
But free marketing. i don't even understand all that's going on
00:05:55.077 --> 00:05:56.245
I don't even understand all that's going on in the high-tech world today
00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:57.880
All that's going on in the high-tech world today but i do know you can stream
00:05:57.947 --> 00:05:59.382
In the high-tech world today but i do know you can stream a message that everybody
00:05:59.449 --> 00:06:01.317
But i do know you can stream a message that everybody can have access to,
00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:02.952
A message that everybody can have access to, no matter where they are.
00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:04.720
Can have access to, no matter where they are. so, we could take
00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:05.922
No matter where they are. so, we could take the transforming truth
00:06:05.988 --> 00:06:07.089
So, we could take the transforming truth of god's gospel, love,
00:06:07.156 --> 00:06:09.459
The transforming truth of god's gospel, love, and life to the whole world
00:06:09.525 --> 00:06:12.528
Of god's gospel, love, and life to the whole world through what i'm referring to
00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:14.397
And life to the whole world through what i'm referring to as a stream, the stream .
00:06:14.464 --> 00:06:17.099
Through what i'm referring to as a stream, the stream . father, i know you put this
00:06:17.166 --> 00:06:20.203
As a stream, the stream . father, i know you put this on our hearts.
00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:22.205
Father, i know you put this on our hearts. and as you raised up people
00:06:22.271 --> 00:06:23.506
That would drill
00:06:23.973 --> 00:06:25.208
Freshwater wells,
00:06:25.274 --> 00:06:26.843
That would feed the starving,
00:06:26.909 --> 00:06:28.678
That would take care of those
00:06:28.744 --> 00:06:30.146
That were sexually abused,
00:06:30.213 --> 00:06:32.348
That would do surgeries
00:06:32.415 --> 00:06:33.649
Like cleft palate
00:06:33.716 --> 00:06:34.784
On children,
00:06:34.851 --> 00:06:36.252
All these areas of need,
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.055
Your people have put
00:06:39.121 --> 00:06:40.756
Your arms of love around
00:06:40.823 --> 00:06:42.658
Those in need, and
00:06:42.725 --> 00:06:44.293
They have become a miracle --
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.529
A transforming, life-giving,
00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:49.265
Miracle of love.
00:06:49.332 --> 00:06:51.200
We need that now.
00:06:51.267 --> 00:06:53.436
We want to stream your truth
00:06:53.503 --> 00:06:55.938
In transforming power
00:06:56.005 --> 00:06:58.741
To every ear,
00:06:58.808 --> 00:07:00.776
Every person on this planet.
00:07:00.843 --> 00:07:03.646
Lord, give us that kind
00:07:03.713 --> 00:07:06.115
Of prayer warrior
00:07:06.182 --> 00:07:07.817
And that kind of support,
00:07:07.884 --> 00:07:09.051
In jesus' name.
00:07:09.118 --> 00:07:10.353
Betty, we've watched
00:07:10.419 --> 00:07:11.487
God work miracles of love
00:07:11.554 --> 00:07:13.155
Through people who are
00:07:13.222 --> 00:07:14.223
Willing to support
00:07:14.290 --> 00:07:16.058
The transforming power
00:07:16.125 --> 00:07:17.660
Of the gospel of the kingdom.
00:07:17.727 --> 00:07:19.462
I'm praying god will raise up
00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:20.730
People to help us right now.
00:07:20.796 --> 00:07:21.998
Betty: i do, too!
00:07:22.064 --> 00:07:23.332
And you know, if you allow
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.034
God to run his stream of love
00:07:25.101 --> 00:07:27.570
And joy and peace
00:07:27.637 --> 00:07:29.338
And his wisdom
00:07:29.405 --> 00:07:30.540
Through your life
00:07:30.606 --> 00:07:31.707
And flow continually,
00:07:31.774 --> 00:07:33.576
He will fill you up
00:07:33.643 --> 00:07:35.077
To that overflowing.
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:36.546
And i've watched james
00:07:37.013 --> 00:07:38.814
And i've watched james ever since god called him
00:07:38.881 --> 00:07:40.516
And i've watched james ever since god called him into ministry.
00:07:40.583 --> 00:07:41.717
Ever since god called him into ministry. i've watched you, james,
00:07:41.784 --> 00:07:42.919
Into ministry. i've watched you, james, allow god to flow his love
00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:46.155
I've watched you, james, allow god to flow his love through you.
00:07:46.222 --> 00:07:47.290
Allow god to flow his love through you. we never go anywhere --
00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:50.159
Through you. we never go anywhere -- a restaurant, anywhere out,
00:07:50.226 --> 00:07:52.428
We never go anywhere -- a restaurant, anywhere out, driving down the street
00:07:52.495 --> 00:07:53.763
A restaurant, anywhere out, driving down the street of our neighborhood,
00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:54.964
Driving down the street of our neighborhood, if he sees someone out,
00:07:55.031 --> 00:07:56.532
Of our neighborhood, if he sees someone out, he will stop and talk to them.
00:07:56.599 --> 00:07:59.068
If he sees someone out, he will stop and talk to them. just a moment of showing them
00:07:59.135 --> 00:08:00.903
He will stop and talk to them. just a moment of showing them that he cares about them.
00:08:00.970 --> 00:08:02.738
Just a moment of showing them that he cares about them. that blesses me.
00:08:02.805 --> 00:08:03.973
That he cares about them. that blesses me. i wish it came as naturally
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.775
That blesses me. i wish it came as naturally to me as it does to you.
00:08:05.841 --> 00:08:07.543
I wish it came as naturally to me as it does to you. but that's why

To me as it does to you. but that's why we join together.
00:08:08.744 --> 00:08:09.912
But that's why we join together. god gives us different gifts.
00:08:09.979 --> 00:08:12.148
We join together. god gives us different gifts. he gave james the gift
00:08:12.214 --> 00:08:14.016
God gives us different gifts. he gave james the gift of proclaiming his truth
00:08:14.083 --> 00:08:15.618
He gave james the gift of proclaiming his truth in his word through preaching.
00:08:15.685 --> 00:08:18.054
Of proclaiming his truth in his word through preaching. now, through reaching out
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.422
In his word through preaching. now, through reaching out to those who are hurting
00:08:19.488 --> 00:08:21.324
Now, through reaching out to those who are hurting through a need for water

To those who are hurting through a need for water and food right now.
00:08:23.059 --> 00:08:25.027

And food right now. he has different things for all of us to do,
00:08:26.295 --> 00:08:27.430
He has different things for all of us to do, but if we work together,
00:08:27.496 --> 00:08:29.031
For all of us to do, but if we work together, we can accomplish so much
00:08:29.098 --> 00:08:31.067
But if we work together, we can accomplish so much through his love.
00:08:31.133 --> 00:08:32.535
We can accomplish so much through his love. and i pray that you will
00:08:32.602 --> 00:08:33.736

As james has shared with you. james: the lord has shown me very clearly what it is
00:08:40.843 --> 00:08:41.944
James: the lord has shown me very clearly what it is he wants us to hear about
00:08:42.011 --> 00:08:43.646
Very clearly what it is he wants us to hear about the gospel of the kingdom
00:08:43.713 --> 00:08:45.314

On his earth in this kingdom. not the next kingdom, there's no enemy there.
00:08:58.227 --> 00:08:59.629
There's no reason
00:08:59.729 --> 00:09:00.630
There's no reason to wear an armor.
00:09:00.696 --> 00:09:01.731
There's no reason to wear an armor. there's nothing to walk over.
00:09:01.797 --> 00:09:02.832
To wear an armor. there's nothing to walk over. there's nothing to conquer.
00:09:02.898 --> 00:09:03.833
There's nothing to walk over. there's nothing to conquer. there's nothing to overcome.
00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:05.668
There's nothing to conquer. there's nothing to overcome. so if we're going to fulfill

There's nothing to overcome. so if we're going to fulfill the gospel of the kingdom,
00:09:07.003 --> 00:09:08.671
If we're going to do
00:09:08.771 --> 00:09:09.805
If we're going to do what god left the disciples
00:09:09.872 --> 00:09:11.340
If we're going to do what god left the disciples here to do and left
00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:12.742
What god left the disciples here to do and left every one of us as a believer

Of his kingdom prevailing now in the midst of all the chaos,
00:09:26.422 --> 00:09:27.623
Prevailing now in the midst of all the chaos, all the deception,
00:09:27.690 --> 00:09:29.091
Of all the chaos, all the deception, all the distractions.
00:09:29.158 --> 00:09:30.793
All the deception, all the distractions. that's what we're supposed
00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:32.061
All the distractions. that's what we're supposed to do, and we must do it.
00:09:32.128 --> 00:09:35.264
That's what we're supposed to do, and we must do it. he's coming back for
00:09:35.331 --> 00:09:36.766
To do, and we must do it. he's coming back for a church that looks like him.
00:09:36.832 --> 00:09:39.669
He's coming back for a church that looks like him. his body that looks like him.
00:09:39.735 --> 00:09:42.338
A church that looks like him. his body that looks like him. he's coming back for
00:09:42.405 --> 00:09:43.639
His body that looks like him. he's coming back for a family that looks
00:09:43.706 --> 00:09:44.974
He's coming back for a family that looks like the father.
00:09:45.041 --> 00:09:46.642
A family that looks like the father. we have right now
00:09:46.709 --> 00:09:48.711
Like the father. we have right now tremendous chaos and tension
00:09:48.778 --> 00:09:53.249
We have right now tremendous chaos and tension where you can't even have
00:09:53.315 --> 00:09:54.383
Tremendous chaos and tension where you can't even have a healthy debate
00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:55.885
Where you can't even have a healthy debate or a dialog because
00:09:55.951 --> 00:09:58.020
A healthy debate or a dialog because there's actually a prevailing
00:09:58.087 --> 00:10:00.022
Or a dialog because there's actually a prevailing -- betty, it's a prevailing
00:10:00.089 --> 00:10:01.657
There's actually a prevailing -- betty, it's a prevailing spirit of destruction.
00:10:01.724 --> 00:10:04.427
-- betty, it's a prevailing spirit of destruction. that's what's here.
00:10:04.493 --> 00:10:06.095
Spirit of destruction. that's what's here. as christians, we know
00:10:06.162 --> 00:10:07.496
That's what's here. as christians, we know the spirit of destruction
00:10:07.563 --> 00:10:08.998
As christians, we know the spirit of destruction is the same as the spirit
00:10:09.065 --> 00:10:10.700
The spirit of destruction is the same as the spirit of deception.
00:10:10.766 --> 00:10:11.867
Is the same as the spirit of deception. it's satan.
00:10:11.934 --> 00:10:13.069
Of deception. it's satan. it's the enemy.
00:10:13.135 --> 00:10:14.170
It's satan. it's the enemy. it's the father of lies
00:10:14.236 --> 00:10:15.237
It's the enemy. it's the father of lies who destroys
00:10:15.304 --> 00:10:16.439
It's the father of lies who destroys the essence of life.
00:10:16.505 --> 00:10:18.107
Who destroys the essence of life. the powers and principalities
00:10:18.174 --> 00:10:19.775
The essence of life. the powers and principalities and the realms of darkness
00:10:19.842 --> 00:10:21.210
The powers and principalities and the realms of darkness and deception are prevailing
00:10:21.277 --> 00:10:23.579
And the realms of darkness and deception are prevailing in too much of the world.
00:10:23.646 --> 00:10:25.648
And deception are prevailing in too much of the world. what we say today
00:10:25.715 --> 00:10:27.416
In too much of the world. what we say today when a good person tries
00:10:27.483 --> 00:10:28.951
What we say today when a good person tries to do something for all
00:10:29.018 --> 00:10:30.486
When a good person tries to do something for all the right reasons,
00:10:30.553 --> 00:10:32.121
To do something for all the right reasons, our opponents today
00:10:32.188 --> 00:10:33.556
The right reasons, our opponents today are controlled by
00:10:33.622 --> 00:10:34.790
Our opponents today are controlled by this spirit of destruction.
00:10:34.857 --> 00:10:36.525
Are controlled by this spirit of destruction. they don't try to just
00:10:36.592 --> 00:10:39.195
This spirit of destruction. they don't try to just out-debate or defeat
00:10:39.261 --> 00:10:41.263
They don't try to just out-debate or defeat a candidate or a person
00:10:41.330 --> 00:10:43.299
Out-debate or defeat a candidate or a person they disagree with.
00:10:43.365 --> 00:10:45.267
A candidate or a person they disagree with. they literally, betty,

After another, they forgot to remember the significance of his miracles.
00:21:55.637 --> 00:21:57.139
To remember the significance of his miracles. those miracles of old
00:21:57.205 --> 00:21:59.307
Of his miracles. those miracles of old are yours and mine because
00:21:59.374 --> 00:22:00.909
Those miracles of old are yours and mine because he is the same god
00:22:00.976 --> 00:22:02.210
Are yours and mine because he is the same god and his word is living
00:22:02.277 --> 00:22:03.412
He is the same god and his word is living and breathing.
00:22:03.478 --> 00:22:04.546
And his word is living and breathing. so if it's been a while since
00:22:04.613 --> 00:22:05.714
And breathing. so if it's been a while since you've seen a breakthrough,
00:22:05.781 --> 00:22:07.048
So if it's been a while since you've seen a breakthrough, if it's been a while since
00:22:07.115 --> 00:22:08.316
You've seen a breakthrough, if it's been a while since you've been on the
00:22:08.383 --> 00:22:09.484
If it's been a while since you've been on the receiving end of a miracle,
00:22:09.551 --> 00:22:10.652
You've been on the receiving end of a miracle, reach back from history
00:22:10.719 --> 00:22:12.187
Receiving end of a miracle, reach back from history and pull those miracles
00:22:12.254 --> 00:22:13.288
Reach back from history and pull those miracles into your present
00:22:13.355 --> 00:22:14.389
And pull those miracles into your present and remind your soul,
00:22:14.456 --> 00:22:15.424
Into your present and remind your soul, i serve the same god.
00:22:15.490 --> 00:22:16.825
And remind your soul, i serve the same god. the one who parted the sea
00:22:16.892 --> 00:22:17.993
I serve the same god. the one who parted the sea and lives in me.
00:22:18.059 --> 00:22:19.060
The one who parted the sea and lives in me. but i also encourage you
00:22:19.127 --> 00:22:20.228
And lives in me. but i also encourage you to look back in your history
00:22:20.295 --> 00:22:21.630
But i also encourage you to look back in your history in all the ways
00:22:21.696 --> 00:22:22.697
To look back in your history in all the ways that god has been good,
00:22:22.764 --> 00:22:23.865
In all the ways that god has been good, because he's been good,
00:22:23.932 --> 00:22:24.933
That god has been good, because he's been good, he's being good, and
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.001
Because he's been good, he's being good, and he's going to be good again.
00:22:26.067 --> 00:22:27.636
He's being good, and he's going to be good again. he's done so much for you.
00:22:27.702 --> 00:22:29.070
He's going to be good again. he's done so much for you. he was covering for you
00:22:29.137 --> 00:22:30.272
He's done so much for you. he was covering for you when you didn't
00:22:30.338 --> 00:22:31.339
He was covering for you when you didn't even know you needed him.
00:22:31.406 --> 00:22:32.541
When you didn't even know you needed him. he was intervening in ways
00:22:32.607 --> 00:22:33.742
Even know you needed him. he was intervening in ways you can't even imagine.
00:22:33.809 --> 00:22:34.810
He was intervening in ways you can't even imagine. i think one of the things
00:22:34.876 --> 00:22:36.278
You can't even imagine. i think one of the things that is going to happen
00:22:36.344 --> 00:22:37.479
I think one of the things that is going to happen when we see jesus face
00:22:37.546 --> 00:22:38.713
That is going to happen when we see jesus face to face, i think it will
00:22:38.780 --> 00:22:40.215
When we see jesus face to face, i think it will make our knees buckle.
00:22:40.282 --> 00:22:41.283
To face, i think it will make our knees buckle. one is the depth
00:22:41.349 --> 00:22:42.484
Make our knees buckle. one is the depth and depravity of our sin,
00:22:42.551 --> 00:22:43.552
One is the depth and depravity of our sin, how deep it went.
00:22:43.618 --> 00:22:44.719
And depravity of our sin, how deep it went. we didn't realize
00:22:44.786 --> 00:22:45.887
How deep it went. we didn't realize how much we were forgiven.
00:22:45.954 --> 00:22:47.122
We didn't realize how much we were forgiven. but two, all he provided
00:22:47.189 --> 00:22:48.423
How much we were forgiven. but two, all he provided and all he prevented.
00:22:48.490 --> 00:22:49.891
But two, all he provided and all he prevented. his intervention in our lives
00:22:49.958 --> 00:22:51.293
And all he prevented. his intervention in our lives is meticulous and miraculous.
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.528
His intervention in our lives is meticulous and miraculous. so i know you can
00:22:53.595 --> 00:22:54.763
Is meticulous and miraculous. so i know you can look over your shoulder
00:22:54.830 --> 00:22:55.864
So i know you can look over your shoulder at your history and recount
00:22:55.931 --> 00:22:56.998
Look over your shoulder at your history and recount some of the ways
00:22:57.065 --> 00:22:58.133
At your history and recount some of the ways that god has been good
00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:59.501
Some of the ways that god has been good because that keeps
00:22:59.568 --> 00:23:00.802
That god has been good because that keeps your heart tender
00:23:00.869 --> 00:23:02.037
Because that keeps your heart tender and it keeps your heart
00:23:02.103 --> 00:23:03.238
Your heart tender and it keeps your heart honoring god,
00:23:03.305 --> 00:23:04.339
And it keeps your heart honoring god, that you remember his miracles
00:23:04.406 --> 00:23:05.874
Honoring god, that you remember his miracles and you appreciate
00:23:05.941 --> 00:23:07.142
That you remember his miracles and you appreciate the significance
00:23:07.209 --> 00:23:08.176
And you appreciate the significance of his miracles.
00:23:08.243 --> 00:23:09.311
The significance of his miracles. that's the first mistake
00:23:09.377 --> 00:23:10.345
Of his miracles. that's the first mistake they made.
00:23:10.412 --> 00:23:11.513
That's the first mistake they made. second is they no longer
00:23:11.580 --> 00:23:12.714
They made. second is they no longer marveled at
00:23:12.781 --> 00:23:13.949
Second is they no longer marveled at his abundance of mercies.
00:23:14.015 --> 00:23:16.117
Marveled at his abundance of mercies. when we look at jesus
00:23:16.184 --> 00:23:17.686
His abundance of mercies. when we look at jesus in the new testament,
00:23:17.752 --> 00:23:18.987
When we look at jesus in the new testament, what stopped him in his tracks
00:23:19.054 --> 00:23:20.188
In the new testament, what stopped him in his tracks over and over again
00:23:20.255 --> 00:23:21.423
What stopped him in his tracks over and over again was unbelief and faith.
00:23:21.490 --> 00:23:22.824
Over and over again was unbelief and faith. those are the two things
00:23:22.891 --> 00:23:23.925
Was unbelief and faith. those are the two things that he marveled at.
00:23:23.992 --> 00:23:25.060
Those are the two things that he marveled at. he marveled at their unbelief,
00:23:25.126 --> 00:23:26.294
That he marveled at. he marveled at their unbelief, he marveled at their faith.
00:23:26.361 --> 00:23:27.662
He marveled at their unbelief, he marveled at their faith. so when the disciples
00:23:27.729 --> 00:23:28.730
He marveled at their faith. so when the disciples came running back
00:23:28.797 --> 00:23:29.798
So when the disciples came running back and said, lord, lord,
00:23:29.865 --> 00:23:30.932
Came running back and said, lord, lord, even the demons obey us,
00:23:30.999 --> 00:23:32.100
And said, lord, lord, even the demons obey us, i thought jesus would say,
00:23:32.167 --> 00:23:34.503
See! this faith thing works
00:23:34.603 --> 00:23:35.770
See! this faith thing works and it matters.
00:23:35.837 --> 00:23:36.938
See! this faith thing works and it matters. but he didn't.
00:23:37.005 --> 00:23:38.173
And it matters. but he didn't. he said don't marvel
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:39.374
But he didn't. he said don't marvel that the demons obey you.
00:23:39.441 --> 00:23:40.575
He said don't marvel that the demons obey you. in luke 10:19 he said,
00:23:40.642 --> 00:23:41.843
That the demons obey you. in luke 10:19 he said, i already told you
00:23:41.910 --> 00:23:43.044
In luke 10:19 he said, i already told you the demons will obey you.
00:23:43.111 --> 00:23:44.212
I've given you authority.
00:23:44.312 --> 00:23:45.380
I've given you authority. he said marvel that
00:23:45.447 --> 00:23:46.481
I've given you authority. he said marvel that your name is written
00:23:46.548 --> 00:23:47.582
He said marvel that your name is written in the book of life.
00:23:47.649 --> 00:23:48.850
Your name is written in the book of life. that's the most
00:23:48.917 --> 00:23:49.918
In the book of life. that's the most expensive miracle of all.
00:23:49.985 --> 00:23:51.520
That's the most expensive miracle of all. that when we receive jesus
00:23:51.586 --> 00:23:53.421
Expensive miracle of all. that when we receive jesus we are transferred out
00:23:53.488 --> 00:23:54.789
That when we receive jesus we are transferred out of the kingdom of darkness
00:23:54.856 --> 00:23:56.258
We are transferred out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom
00:23:56.324 --> 00:23:57.392
Of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his dear son.
00:23:57.459 --> 00:23:58.593
Into the kingdom of his dear son. we are children of god,
00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:00.095
Of his dear son. we are children of god, citizens of heaven,
00:24:00.161 --> 00:24:01.329
We are children of god, citizens of heaven, and we see new mercies
00:24:01.396 --> 00:24:02.697
Citizens of heaven, and we see new mercies every morning.
00:24:02.764 --> 00:24:03.798
And we see new mercies every morning. he sends new mercies
00:24:03.865 --> 00:24:04.900
Every morning. he sends new mercies to our door before
00:24:04.966 --> 00:24:05.967
He sends new mercies to our door before we even have a chance to get
00:24:06.034 --> 00:24:07.269
To our door before we even have a chance to get out of bed in the morning.
00:24:07.335 --> 00:24:08.370
We even have a chance to get out of bed in the morning. he makes provision because
00:24:08.436 --> 00:24:09.604
Out of bed in the morning. he makes provision because he knows we'll need it.
00:24:09.671 --> 00:24:11.273
He makes provision because he knows we'll need it. we should be perpetually
00:24:11.339 --> 00:24:12.574
He knows we'll need it. we should be perpetually in awe of the mercies
00:24:12.641 --> 00:24:14.376
We should be perpetually in awe of the mercies of god because
00:24:14.442 --> 00:24:15.777
In awe of the mercies of god because they're new every morning.
00:24:15.844 --> 00:24:17.145
Of god because they're new every morning. well, the israelites not only
00:24:17.212 --> 00:24:18.847
They're new every morning. well, the israelites not only stopped remembering
00:24:18.914 --> 00:24:20.315
Well, the israelites not only stopped remembering and appreciating the
00:24:20.382 --> 00:24:21.516
Stopped remembering and appreciating the significance of god's
00:24:21.583 --> 00:24:23.151
And appreciating the significance of god's magnificent miracles,
00:24:23.218 --> 00:24:25.086
Significance of god's magnificent miracles, but they no longer marveled
00:24:25.153 --> 00:24:27.155
Magnificent miracles, but they no longer marveled at the abundance of mercy
00:24:27.222 --> 00:24:28.790
But they no longer marveled at the abundance of mercy that god has shown.
00:24:28.857 --> 00:24:29.858
At the abundance of mercy that god has shown. i don't want
00:24:29.925 --> 00:24:31.092
That god has shown. i don't want to make that mistake.
00:24:31.159 --> 00:24:32.394
I don't want to make that mistake. and thirdly, they didn't
00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:33.795
To make that mistake. and thirdly, they didn't imprint the loving-kindness
00:24:33.862 --> 00:24:35.430
And thirdly, they didn't imprint the loving-kindness of god on their heart.
00:24:35.497 --> 00:24:37.999
Imprint the loving-kindness of god on their heart. they didn't imprint
00:24:38.066 --> 00:24:39.200
Of god on their heart. they didn't imprint his loving-kindness
00:24:39.267 --> 00:24:40.302
They didn't imprint his loving-kindness on their heart.
00:24:40.368 --> 00:24:41.536
His loving-kindness on their heart. you know, the things
00:24:41.603 --> 00:24:42.671
On their heart. you know, the things that you most often
00:24:42.737 --> 00:24:43.805
You know, the things that you most often think about,
00:24:43.872 --> 00:24:45.006
That you most often think about, a physiological response.
00:24:45.073 --> 00:24:46.675
Think about, a physiological response. i will tell you as someone
00:24:46.741 --> 00:24:48.343
A physiological response. i will tell you as someone who has battled lyme disease
00:24:48.410 --> 00:24:49.644
I will tell you as someone who has battled lyme disease for three decades,
00:24:49.711 --> 00:24:50.845
Who has battled lyme disease for three decades, it is a very
00:24:50.912 --> 00:24:51.913
For three decades, it is a very unpredictable disease.
00:24:51.980 --> 00:24:52.981
It is a very unpredictable disease. inflammation and
00:24:53.048 --> 00:24:54.049
Unpredictable disease. inflammation and neurological surges would
00:24:54.115 --> 00:24:55.216
Inflammation and neurological surges would sometimes blindside me
00:24:55.283 --> 00:24:56.384
Neurological surges would sometimes blindside me at the worst possible moments.
00:24:56.451 --> 00:24:58.153
Sometimes blindside me at the worst possible moments. even though i loved god,
00:24:58.219 --> 00:24:59.487
At the worst possible moments. even though i loved god, i'm in the word every day,
00:24:59.554 --> 00:25:00.522
Even though i loved god, i'm in the word every day, i'm a serious follower
00:25:00.589 --> 00:25:01.656
I'm in the word every day, i'm a serious follower of christ, i realized
00:25:01.723 --> 00:25:02.924
I'm a serious follower of christ, i realized i was living my life
00:25:02.991 --> 00:25:03.959
Of christ, i realized i was living my life bracing for impact,
00:25:04.025 --> 00:25:05.393
I was living my life bracing for impact, waiting for the next shoe
00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:06.528
Bracing for impact, waiting for the next shoe to drop.
00:25:06.595 --> 00:25:07.796
Waiting for the next shoe to drop. i didn't think that was
00:25:07.862 --> 00:25:08.897
To drop. i didn't think that was a mistrust of god.
00:25:08.964 --> 00:25:10.031
I didn't think that was a mistrust of god. i actually thought that was
00:25:10.098 --> 00:25:11.132
A mistrust of god. i actually thought that was the natural result of
00:25:11.199 --> 00:25:12.233
I actually thought that was the natural result of an unpredictable disease.
00:25:12.300 --> 00:25:14.035
The natural result of an unpredictable disease. but then the lord
00:25:14.102 --> 00:25:15.170
An unpredictable disease. but then the lord impressed upon my heart
00:25:15.236 --> 00:25:16.404
But then the lord impressed upon my heart that it indeed was
00:25:16.471 --> 00:25:17.572
Impressed upon my heart that it indeed was a mistrust of god.
00:25:17.639 --> 00:25:18.740
That it indeed was a mistrust of god. i wasn't imprinting
00:25:18.807 --> 00:25:19.808
A mistrust of god. i wasn't imprinting his loving-kindness
00:25:19.874 --> 00:25:20.875
I wasn't imprinting his loving-kindness on my heart, i was imprinting
00:25:20.942 --> 00:25:21.943
His loving-kindness on my heart, i was imprinting trauma and hardship
00:25:22.010 --> 00:25:24.079
On my heart, i was imprinting trauma and hardship and a certain kind of belief
00:25:24.145 --> 00:25:25.847
Trauma and hardship and a certain kind of belief that there was no limit
00:25:25.914 --> 00:25:26.982
And a certain kind of belief that there was no limit to what god would allow
00:25:27.048 --> 00:25:27.983
That there was no limit to what god would allow to help in my life.
00:25:28.049 --> 00:25:30.051
To what god would allow to help in my life. so once i realized bracing
00:25:30.118 --> 00:25:31.119
To help in my life. so once i realized bracing for impact didn't belong
00:25:31.186 --> 00:25:33.421
So once i realized bracing for impact didn't belong in my posture,
00:25:33.488 --> 00:25:34.756
For impact didn't belong in my posture, in fact, anticipating
00:25:34.823 --> 00:25:36.057
In my posture, in fact, anticipating god's goodness did.
00:25:36.124 --> 00:25:37.459
In fact, anticipating god's goodness did. when i started to look for
00:25:37.525 --> 00:25:38.560
God's goodness did. when i started to look for his goodness, i found it.
00:25:38.627 --> 00:25:40.061
When i started to look for his goodness, i found it. because when you're living
00:25:40.128 --> 00:25:41.229
His goodness, i found it. because when you're living perpetually bracing
00:25:41.296 --> 00:25:42.297
Because when you're living perpetually bracing for impact, you can't
00:25:42.364 --> 00:25:43.531
Perpetually bracing for impact, you can't at once anticipate
00:25:43.598 --> 00:25:44.933
For impact, you can't at once anticipate the goodness of god
