Life Today with James Robison | Robert Jeffress - Living In The End Times | April 29, 2025

>> i have people in my church,
00:00:07.030 --> 00:00:09.065
People in our larger audience,
00:00:09.065 --> 00:00:11.101
When you preach on the end times,
00:00:11.101 --> 00:00:13.136
They get out their notebooks
00:00:13.136 --> 00:00:15.171
And they want to write down all the details.
00:00:15.171 --> 00:00:17.207
But they forget that god did not give us the bible
00:00:17.207 --> 00:00:19.275
To make us smarter sinners.
00:00:19.275 --> 00:00:21.344
He gave the bible to us to make us
00:00:21.344 --> 00:00:23.413
More obedient followers of jesus christ.
00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:26.082
When we focus on prophetic events of the end times,
00:00:26.082 --> 00:00:29.152
We end up fearful about what is to come
00:00:29.152 --> 00:00:31.788
Rather than hopeful about who is to come. next!
00:00:31.788 --> 00:00:42.432

Including my father, who's in heaven now. when he was very sick,

Who's in heaven now. when he was very sick, you were kind to write him

You were kind to write him a nice note. he actually left a portion

A nice note. he actually left a portion of my inheritance to you,
00:01:58.575 --> 00:02:00.243
He actually left a portion of my inheritance to you, which i'm a little
00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:01.311
Of my inheritance to you, which i'm a little bitter over,

James: i'm grateful for what god's doing with you. you made a great impact
00:02:12.355 --> 00:02:13.690
What god's doing with you. you made a great impact on our nation right now.
00:02:13.756 --> 00:02:15.358
You made a great impact on our nation right now. i believe we're seeing
00:02:15.425 --> 00:02:16.426
On our nation right now. i believe we're seeing prayers answered.
00:02:16.492 --> 00:02:17.493
I believe we're seeing prayers answered. would you say the positive
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:18.728
Prayers answered. would you say the positive things that are coming,
00:02:18.795 --> 00:02:19.829
Would you say the positive things that are coming, more than anything, are
00:02:19.896 --> 00:02:20.997
Things that are coming, more than anything, are responsible from the prayers
00:02:21.064 --> 00:02:22.165
More than anything, are responsible from the prayers of very serious,
00:02:22.232 --> 00:02:23.233
Responsible from the prayers of very serious, committed-to-god's-will
00:02:23.299 --> 00:02:24.300
Of very serious, committed-to-god's-will christians?
00:02:24.367 --> 00:02:25.368
Committed-to-god's-will christians? dr. jeffress: absolutely!
00:02:25.435 --> 00:02:26.436
Christians? dr. jeffress: absolutely! prayer changes things.
00:02:26.502 --> 00:02:27.570
Dr. jeffress: absolutely! prayer changes things. there have been millions
00:02:27.637 --> 00:02:28.705
The direction of the country.
00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:32.108
The direction of the country. we were on
00:02:32.175 --> 00:02:33.243
We were on a downward trajectory,
00:02:33.309 --> 00:02:34.344
A downward trajectory, there's no doubt about it.
00:02:34.410 --> 00:02:35.778
There's no doubt about it. not just financially
00:02:35.845 --> 00:02:37.847
But spiritually;
00:02:39.182 --> 00:02:40.216
But spiritually; it all started with
00:02:40.283 --> 00:02:41.284
But spiritually; it all started with a spiritual apostasy
00:02:41.351 --> 00:02:42.619
It all started with a spiritual apostasy our nation was in.
00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:44.287
A spiritual apostasy our nation was in. we've had a temporary reprieve
00:02:44.354 --> 00:02:45.788
Our nation was in. we've had a temporary reprieve from that, i think,
00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:47.156
We've had a temporary reprieve from that, i think, because of the prayers
00:02:47.223 --> 00:02:48.291
From that, i think, because of the prayers of people.
00:02:48.358 --> 00:02:49.492
Because of the prayers of people. but i'm going to say this
00:02:49.559 --> 00:02:50.593
Of people. but i'm going to say this often on this program,
00:02:50.660 --> 00:02:51.761
But i'm going to say this often on this program, this is no time for christians
00:02:51.828 --> 00:02:53.396
Often on this program, this is no time for christians to be letting up.
00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:54.864
This is no time for christians to be letting up. we need to be doubling down
00:02:54.931 --> 00:02:56.332
To be letting up. we need to be doubling down right now in our commitment
00:02:56.399 --> 00:02:58.067
We need to be doubling down right now in our commitment to spreading the gospel
00:02:58.134 --> 00:02:59.435
Right now in our commitment to spreading the gospel of jesus christ.
00:02:59.502 --> 00:03:00.737
To spreading the gospel of jesus christ. because we know long-term,
00:03:00.803 --> 00:03:02.338
Of jesus christ. because we know long-term, this nation and this world
00:03:02.405 --> 00:03:03.973
Because we know long-term, this nation and this world will move further
00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:05.308
This nation and this world will move further and further away from god.
00:03:05.375 --> 00:03:07.043
Will move further and further away from god. but thank god there is
00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:08.311
And further away from god. but thank god there is a new world coming
00:03:08.378 --> 00:03:09.579
But thank god there is a new world coming when jesus christ returns!
00:03:09.646 --> 00:03:11.147
A new world coming when jesus christ returns! james: and we can make
00:03:11.214 --> 00:03:12.148
When jesus christ returns! james: and we can make an impact in the world
00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:13.249
James: and we can make an impact in the world we're in right now
00:03:13.316 --> 00:03:14.350
An impact in the world we're in right now if we'll just do
00:03:14.417 --> 00:03:15.351
We're in right now if we'll just do what he left us here to do.
00:03:15.418 --> 00:03:16.352
If we'll just do what he left us here to do. dr. jeffress: that's right.
00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:17.620
What he left us here to do. dr. jeffress: that's right. and you know, james and betty,
00:03:17.687 --> 00:03:19.188
Dr. jeffress: that's right. and you know, james and betty, i ask people the question,
00:03:19.255 --> 00:03:20.723
And you know, james and betty, i ask people the question, why is it that god didn't
00:03:20.790 --> 00:03:22.225
I ask people the question, why is it that god didn't take us to heaven
00:03:22.292 --> 00:03:23.626
Why is it that god didn't take us to heaven the moment we were saved?
00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:25.895
Take us to heaven the moment we were saved? why didn't he just
00:03:25.962 --> 00:03:26.996
The moment we were saved? why didn't he just rapture us right then?
00:03:27.063 --> 00:03:28.164
Why didn't he just rapture us right then? when you think about it,
00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:29.365
Rapture us right then? when you think about it, god could have enjoyed
00:03:29.432 --> 00:03:30.466
When you think about it, god could have enjoyed much better fellowship with us
00:03:30.533 --> 00:03:31.701
God could have enjoyed much better fellowship with us if we were in heaven
00:03:31.768 --> 00:03:33.069
Much better fellowship with us if we were in heaven instead of leaving us here
00:03:33.136 --> 00:03:34.337
If we were in heaven instead of leaving us here where we get tangled up
00:03:34.404 --> 00:03:35.605
Instead of leaving us here where we get tangled up in sin and doubt
00:03:35.672 --> 00:03:37.040
Where we get tangled up in sin and doubt and a thousand other things.
00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:38.908
In sin and doubt and a thousand other things. he left us here, as you said,
00:03:38.975 --> 00:03:40.476
And a thousand other things. he left us here, as you said, for a reason, and that's
00:03:40.543 --> 00:03:41.844
He left us here, as you said, for a reason, and that's to go into all the world
00:03:41.911 --> 00:03:43.479
For a reason, and that's to go into all the world and make disciples.
00:03:43.546 --> 00:03:45.348
To go into all the world and make disciples. the fact that christ
00:03:45.415 --> 00:03:46.449
And make disciples. the fact that christ is coming back again
00:03:46.516 --> 00:03:48.017
The fact that christ is coming back again isn't a cause for
00:03:48.084 --> 00:03:49.319
Is coming back again isn't a cause for a laissez-faire attitude
00:03:49.385 --> 00:03:51.254
Isn't a cause for a laissez-faire attitude and a do-nothing attitude.
00:03:51.321 --> 00:03:52.922
A laissez-faire attitude and a do-nothing attitude. it ought to make us work
00:03:52.989 --> 00:03:54.223
And a do-nothing attitude. it ought to make us work all the more.
00:03:54.290 --> 00:03:55.658
It ought to make us work all the more. jesus said, "work while
00:03:55.725 --> 00:03:57.260
All the more. jesus said, "work while it is day, for the night
00:03:57.327 --> 00:03:59.095
Jesus said, "work while it is day, for the night cometh when no man
00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:00.430
It is day, for the night cometh when no man will be able to work."
00:04:00.496 --> 00:04:01.698
Cometh when no man will be able to work." james: well, i'm going
00:04:01.764 --> 00:04:02.999
Will be able to work." james: well, i'm going to be doing what he left us
00:04:03.066 --> 00:04:04.334
James: well, i'm going to be doing what he left us here to do, and that's
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:05.468
To be doing what he left us here to do, and that's being a witness for him.
00:04:05.535 --> 00:04:06.869
Here to do, and that's being a witness for him. i'm going to be doing my best
00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:08.004
Being a witness for him. i'm going to be doing my best to walk over the enemy,
00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:09.572
I'm going to be doing my best to walk over the enemy, to be more than a conqueror
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:10.773
To walk over the enemy, to be more than a conqueror because, in the next kingdom,
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:11.941
To be more than a conqueror because, in the next kingdom, we've got nothing to conquer,
00:04:12.008 --> 00:04:13.209
Because, in the next kingdom, we've got nothing to conquer, nothing to overcome.
00:04:13.276 --> 00:04:14.510
We've got nothing to conquer, nothing to overcome. by the way, i pray
00:04:14.577 --> 00:04:15.578
Of the fire.
00:04:16.913 --> 00:04:17.980
Of the fire. we don't know all that
00:04:18.047 --> 00:04:19.315
We don't know all that may have brought that about,
00:04:19.382 --> 00:04:21.017
May have brought that about, but i just wanted you to know
00:04:21.084 --> 00:04:22.051
But i just wanted you to know it broke my heart to see
00:04:22.118 --> 00:04:23.353
It broke my heart to see a lot of memories go back,
00:04:23.419 --> 00:04:24.554
Some of them, right?

When hamas invaded israel on october 7th, we remember the day well.
00:05:35.892 --> 00:05:37.393
On october 7th, we remember the day well. we had all kinds of questions
00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:38.661
The day well. we had all kinds of questions being asked of us:

Most books take a year to write and put out. in six weeks, we came out

With the book are we living in the end times ? to answer that question.
00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:52.642
In the end times ? to answer that question. we can delve into that
00:05:52.708 --> 00:05:53.910
To answer that question. we can delve into that further if you want to,
00:05:53.976 --> 00:05:55.378
We can delve into that further if you want to, but technically, we're not
00:05:55.445 --> 00:05:56.512
Further if you want to, but technically, we're not in the end times yet.
00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:57.547
But technically, we're not in the end times yet. but we're in the last days.
00:05:57.613 --> 00:05:58.815
In the end times yet. but we're in the last days. we've been in the last days
00:05:58.881 --> 00:05:59.882
But we're in the last days. we've been in the last days for 2000 years
00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:01.184
We've been in the last days for 2000 years since christ left.
00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:03.119
For 2000 years since christ left. so, we are in the last days
00:06:03.186 --> 00:06:04.654
Since christ left. so, we are in the last days and getting closer
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:05.655

A follow-up, jesus revealed in the end times. because, james and betty,
00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:12.762
In the end times. because, james and betty, what most people forget about
00:06:12.829 --> 00:06:14.263
Because, james and betty, what most people forget about is that the end times
00:06:14.330 --> 00:06:15.631
What most people forget about is that the end times are not about events;
00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:18.067
Is that the end times are not about events; they're about a person,
00:06:18.134 --> 00:06:19.802
Are not about events; they're about a person, jesus christ.
00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:21.437
They're about a person, jesus christ. revelation is the revelation,
00:06:21.504 --> 00:06:23.473
Jesus christ. revelation is the revelation, the unveiling of jesus christ.
00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:26.209
Revelation is the revelation, the unveiling of jesus christ. it's all about jesus.
00:06:26.275 --> 00:06:29.011
The unveiling of jesus christ. it's all about jesus. colossians one says,
00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:30.379
It's all about jesus. colossians one says, "all things were created
00:06:30.446 --> 00:06:31.681
Colossians one says, "all things were created by jesus and for jesus.
00:06:31.747 --> 00:06:34.350
"all things were created by jesus and for jesus. nothing would exist
00:06:34.417 --> 00:06:35.685
By jesus and for jesus. nothing would exist apart from him."
00:06:35.751 --> 00:06:37.320
Nothing would exist apart from him." and the reason the end times
00:06:37.386 --> 00:06:38.521
Apart from him." and the reason the end times are exciting or should be
00:06:38.588 --> 00:06:39.755
And the reason the end times are exciting or should be is because when christ
00:06:39.822 --> 00:06:41.090
Are exciting or should be is because when christ comes back, we're going to
00:06:41.157 --> 00:06:42.458
Is because when christ comes back, we're going to see him in all of his glory.
00:06:42.525 --> 00:06:44.594
Comes back, we're going to see him in all of his glory. i know we'll talk about this
00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:45.795
See him in all of his glory. i know we'll talk about this on the next show,
00:06:45.862 --> 00:06:47.196
I know we'll talk about this on the next show, about the different roles,
00:06:47.263 --> 00:06:48.498
On the next show, about the different roles, jesus as judge, conqueror,
00:06:48.564 --> 00:06:50.566
About the different roles, jesus as judge, conqueror, and messiah.
00:06:50.633 --> 00:06:52.101
Jesus as judge, conqueror, and messiah. the first time,
00:06:52.168 --> 00:06:53.202
And messiah. the first time, some of those roles
00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:54.370
The first time, some of those roles were hidden from us.
00:06:54.437 --> 00:06:55.538
Some of those roles were hidden from us. but we'll see him
00:06:55.605 --> 00:06:56.606
Were hidden from us. but we'll see him in all of his glory,
00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:57.673
But we'll see him in all of his glory, and that ought to give us
00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:58.741
In all of his glory, and that ought to give us great hope.
00:06:58.808 --> 00:06:59.842
And that ought to give us great hope. but i believe it's important
00:06:59.909 --> 00:07:01.210
Great hope. but i believe it's important to certainly understand
00:07:01.277 --> 00:07:02.912
But i believe it's important to certainly understand what's going to happen,
00:07:02.979 --> 00:07:04.747
To certainly understand what's going to happen, but understand who is coming
00:07:04.814 --> 00:07:06.649
What's going to happen, but understand who is coming is the most important thing.
00:07:06.716 --> 00:07:08.417
But understand who is coming is the most important thing. that ought to fill us
00:07:08.484 --> 00:07:09.652
Is the most important thing. that ought to fill us with hope for right now.
00:07:09.719 --> 00:07:11.420
That ought to fill us with hope for right now. we, as christians,
00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:12.889
With hope for right now. we, as christians, so many people walk around
00:07:12.955 --> 00:07:15.057
We, as christians, so many people walk around with these long expressions
00:07:15.124 --> 00:07:16.292
So many people walk around with these long expressions on their faces.
00:07:16.359 --> 00:07:17.493
With these long expressions on their faces. they look like
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.861
On their faces. they look like they're the cover photo
00:07:18.928 --> 00:07:20.029
They look like they're the cover photo for the book of lamentations.
00:07:20.096 --> 00:07:22.031
They're the cover photo for the book of lamentations. i mean, they're sourpuss
00:07:22.098 --> 00:07:23.533
For the book of lamentations. i mean, they're sourpuss christians, and nobody wants
00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:24.967
I mean, they're sourpuss christians, and nobody wants to be around them.
00:07:25.034 --> 00:07:26.602
Christians, and nobody wants to be around them. remember, first peter says,
00:07:26.669 --> 00:07:27.803
To be around them. remember, first peter says, "if any man asks you,
00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:28.971
Remember, first peter says, "if any man asks you, be ready to give an answer
00:07:29.038 --> 00:07:30.039
"if any man asks you, be ready to give an answer for the hope
00:07:30.106 --> 00:07:31.140
Be ready to give an answer for the hope that is within you."
00:07:31.207 --> 00:07:32.508
For the hope that is within you." the fact that christ
00:07:32.575 --> 00:07:33.676
That is within you." the fact that christ is coming back ought to
00:07:33.743 --> 00:07:34.911
The fact that christ is coming back ought to fill us with hope, but it also
00:07:34.977 --> 00:07:36.379
Is coming back ought to fill us with hope, but it also ought to fill us with
00:07:36.445 --> 00:07:37.780
Fill us with hope, but it also ought to fill us with a desire for holiness.
00:07:37.847 --> 00:07:39.582
Ought to fill us with a desire for holiness. second peter three says,
00:07:39.649 --> 00:07:41.684
A desire for holiness. second peter three says, "seeing that all of
00:07:41.751 --> 00:07:42.752
Second peter three says, "seeing that all of these things are going to end
00:07:42.818 --> 00:07:44.320
"seeing that all of these things are going to end in this way, what sort
00:07:44.387 --> 00:07:45.855
These things are going to end in this way, what sort of people are we to be
00:07:45.922 --> 00:07:47.290
In this way, what sort of people are we to be in holy conduct and godliness,
00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:49.492
The coming of the lord?"
00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:53.896
The coming of the lord?" i have people in my church,
00:07:53.963 --> 00:07:56.432
I have people in my church, people in our larger audience,
00:07:56.499 --> 00:07:58.134
People in our larger audience, when you preach
00:07:58.200 --> 00:07:59.168
When you preach on the end times,
00:07:59.235 --> 00:08:00.169
And they want to write down
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:02.338
And they want to write down all the details.
00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:03.406
And they want to write down all the details. but they forget that,
00:08:03.472 --> 00:08:04.607
All the details. but they forget that, really, the purpose of
00:08:04.674 --> 00:08:05.875
But they forget that, really, the purpose of the end times is to draw us
00:08:05.942 --> 00:08:07.310
Really, the purpose of the end times is to draw us closer to christ.
00:08:07.376 --> 00:08:09.979
The end times is to draw us closer to christ. god did not give us
00:08:10.046 --> 00:08:11.347
Closer to christ. god did not give us the bible to make us
00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:12.648
God did not give us the bible to make us smarter sinners.
00:08:12.715 --> 00:08:14.050
The bible to make us smarter sinners. he gave the bible to us
00:08:14.116 --> 00:08:15.718
Smarter sinners. he gave the bible to us to make us more obedient
00:08:15.785 --> 00:08:17.086
James: i just know that
00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:21.824
James: i just know that every time you write a book,
00:08:21.891 --> 00:08:24.026
Every time you write a book, it's like a fresh breath
00:08:24.093 --> 00:08:26.529
It's like a fresh breath from god, spiritual
00:08:26.596 --> 00:08:28.497
As well as learning
00:08:29.932 --> 00:08:31.567
As well as learning and being educated in ways
00:08:31.634 --> 00:08:32.935
As well as learning and being educated in ways that we need to be.
00:08:33.002 --> 00:08:34.704
And being educated in ways that we need to be. do you feel like this book,

Coming at this exact moment, would you say we're seeing some trends that we could
00:08:39.809 --> 00:08:41.644
Would you say we're seeing some trends that we could call positive trends
00:08:41.711 --> 00:08:43.079
Some trends that we could call positive trends as a result of prayer?
00:08:43.145 --> 00:08:44.513
Call positive trends as a result of prayer? like we have referenced
00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:45.848
As a result of prayer? like we have referenced the fact of the importance
00:08:45.915 --> 00:08:46.916
Like we have referenced the fact of the importance of prayer?
00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:47.984
The fact of the importance of prayer? do you think that
00:08:48.050 --> 00:08:49.051
Of prayer? do you think that we are seeing some of
00:08:49.118 --> 00:08:50.119
Do you think that we are seeing some of those positive signs that
00:08:50.186 --> 00:08:51.187
We are seeing some of those positive signs that prove that if we will come
00:08:51.253 --> 00:08:52.288
Those positive signs that prove that if we will come together and pray and do
00:08:52.355 --> 00:08:53.356
Prove that if we will come together and pray and do what he left us here to do,
00:08:53.422 --> 00:08:54.490
Together and pray and do what he left us here to do, we will make an impact
00:08:54.557 --> 00:08:55.825
What he left us here to do, we will make an impact on this world that's
00:08:55.891 --> 00:08:56.993
We will make an impact on this world that's groping in darkness?
00:08:57.059 --> 00:08:58.127
On this world that's groping in darkness? dr. jeffress: i think
00:08:58.194 --> 00:08:59.195
Groping in darkness? dr. jeffress: i think what's happened, and
00:08:59.261 --> 00:09:00.429
Dr. jeffress: i think what's happened, and because of the last election,
00:09:00.496 --> 00:09:01.530
What's happened, and because of the last election, i know this isn't
00:09:01.597 --> 00:09:02.698
Because of the last election, i know this isn't a political show,
00:09:02.765 --> 00:09:03.899
I know this isn't a political show, but i think most evangelical
00:09:03.966 --> 00:09:05.701
A political show, but i think most evangelical christians voted for
00:09:05.768 --> 00:09:07.136
But i think most evangelical christians voted for our president, and they did so
00:09:07.203 --> 00:09:08.838
Christians voted for our president, and they did so not because they thought
00:09:08.904 --> 00:09:10.473
Our president, and they did so not because they thought he was going to be the pastor
00:09:10.539 --> 00:09:11.574
Not because they thought he was going to be the pastor of the country, but
00:09:11.641 --> 00:09:12.642
He was going to be the pastor of the country, but they felt like he would be
00:09:12.708 --> 00:09:13.809
Of the country, but they felt like he would be a leader who would do
00:09:13.876 --> 00:09:15.177
They felt like he would be a leader who would do what government has
00:09:15.244 --> 00:09:16.278
A leader who would do what government has been called to do.
00:09:16.345 --> 00:09:17.346
What government has been called to do. you know, you look in the
00:09:17.413 --> 00:09:18.714
Been called to do. you know, you look in the scriptures, the government
00:09:18.781 --> 00:09:19.882
You know, you look in the scriptures, the government has two assignments.
00:09:19.949 --> 00:09:21.217
Scriptures, the government has two assignments. romans 13 is to protect
00:09:21.283 --> 00:09:22.785
Has two assignments. romans 13 is to protect citizens from evil-doers.
00:09:22.852 --> 00:09:24.987
Romans 13 is to protect citizens from evil-doers. secondly, first timothy 2
00:09:25.054 --> 00:09:27.423
Citizens from evil-doers. secondly, first timothy 2 protects our freedom
00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:28.491
Secondly, first timothy 2 protects our freedom of worship.
00:09:28.557 --> 00:09:29.859
Protects our freedom of worship. paul said, "i pray for
00:09:29.925 --> 00:09:31.794
Of worship. paul said, "i pray for governors and kings
00:09:31.861 --> 00:09:33.029
Paul said, "i pray for governors and kings and all those in authority,
00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:34.497
Governors and kings and all those in authority, pray for them that
00:09:34.563 --> 00:09:35.898
And all those in authority, pray for them that we might lead quiet
00:09:35.965 --> 00:09:37.433
Pray for them that we might lead quiet and tranquil lives
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:38.834
We might lead quiet and tranquil lives in all godliness and dignity."

And tranquil lives in all godliness and dignity." but if i were to say anything

In all godliness and dignity." but if i were to say anything to our audience today is
00:09:41.937 --> 00:09:43.706
But if i were to say anything to our audience today is this is not a time for

This is not a time for christians to be letting up. i find this attitude
00:09:47.943 --> 00:09:48.944
Christians to be letting up. i find this attitude in some christians.
00:09:49.011 --> 00:09:50.012
I find this attitude in some christians. oh, well, everything's
00:09:50.079 --> 00:09:51.080
In some christians. oh, well, everything's going to be okay now that
00:09:51.147 --> 00:09:52.448
Oh, well, everything's going to be okay now that we've got the right person
00:09:52.515 --> 00:09:53.582
Going to be okay now that we've got the right person in the white house.
00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:54.650
We've got the right person in the white house. this is no time
00:09:54.717 --> 00:09:55.718
In the white house. this is no time to be letting up.
00:09:55.785 --> 00:09:56.786
This is no time to be letting up. this is a time to be
00:09:56.852 --> 00:09:58.220
To be letting up. this is a time to be doubling down on the
00:09:58.287 --> 00:09:59.288
This is a time to be doubling down on the great commission assignment
00:09:59.355 --> 00:10:00.623
Doubling down on the great commission assignment you've talked about,
00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:01.991
Great commission assignment you've talked about, to go into all the world
00:10:02.058 --> 00:10:03.325
You've talked about, to go into all the world and make decisions.
00:10:03.392 --> 00:10:04.894
To go into all the world and make decisions. because whatever respite
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:06.162
And make decisions. because whatever respite we're having right now
00:10:06.228 --> 00:10:07.229
Because whatever respite we're having right now is not going to last forever.
00:10:07.296 --> 00:10:09.165
We're having right now is not going to last forever. we've read and we know
00:10:09.231 --> 00:10:10.366
Is not going to last forever. we've read and we know the end of the story.
00:10:10.433 --> 00:10:11.467

00:10:11.534 --> 00:10:12.735
The end of the story. this nation is going to move further and further away
00:10:12.802 --> 00:10:14.036
This nation is going to move further and further away from god.
00:10:14.103 --> 00:10:15.171
Further and further away from god. this world is going
00:10:15.237 --> 00:10:16.272
From god. this world is going to unravel.
00:10:16.338 --> 00:10:17.373
This world is going to unravel. it will only take seven years
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.474
To unravel. it will only take seven years of tribulation when
00:10:18.541 --> 00:10:19.942
It will only take seven years of tribulation when all christians are gone,
00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:21.110
Of tribulation when all christians are gone, for everything
00:10:21.177 --> 00:10:22.211
All christians are gone, for everything to completely unravel, and
00:10:22.278 --> 00:10:23.713
For everything to completely unravel, and then, christ comes back again.
00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:25.848
To completely unravel, and then, christ comes back again. but we ought to do
00:10:25.915 --> 00:10:27.049
Then, christ comes back again. but we ought to do everything we can,
00:10:27.116 --> 00:10:28.184
But we ought to do everything we can, just like your ministry
00:10:28.250 --> 00:10:29.351
Everything we can, just like your ministry is doing, to reach

00:10:31.921 --> 00:10:33.556
You expressed earlier.
00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:36.225
You expressed earlier. god's given us,
00:10:36.292 --> 00:10:37.660
God's given us, so to speak, a reprieve
00:10:37.727 --> 00:10:38.928
So to speak, a reprieve for right now
00:10:38.994 --> 00:10:40.129
For right now to get things in order
00:10:40.196 --> 00:10:41.464
To get things in order as he wants them to be
00:10:41.530 --> 00:10:43.232
To be at all times.
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.469
To be at all times. i feel like it's more
00:10:46.535 --> 00:10:47.937
To be at all times. i feel like it's more important right now,
00:10:48.003 --> 00:10:49.338
I feel like it's more important right now, in my lifetime,
00:10:49.405 --> 00:10:50.639
Important right now, in my lifetime, that i tune in to him and
00:10:50.706 --> 00:10:51.974
In my lifetime, that i tune in to him and ask him to direct everything

That i tune in to him and ask him to direct everything i think, everything i speak,

That he wants me to be.
00:11:02.718 --> 00:11:03.686
That he wants me to be. dr. jeffress: i think
00:11:03.753 --> 00:11:04.787
Dr. jeffress: i think you're right.
00:11:04.854 --> 00:11:06.021
You're right. talking about a reprieve,
00:11:06.088 --> 00:11:07.456
Talking about a reprieve, i think we need to remember
00:11:07.523 --> 00:11:08.824
I think we need to remember any pause in the attack
00:11:08.891 --> 00:11:10.359
It's just a chance to reload.
00:11:12.962 --> 00:11:15.131
It's just a chance to reload. the enemy's reloading, and
00:11:15.197 --> 00:11:16.732
It's just a chance to reload. the enemy's reloading, and he's coming after christians.
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.667
The enemy's reloading, and he's coming after christians. we need to be ready for that.
00:11:18.734 --> 00:11:20.402
He's coming after christians. we need to be ready for that. james: well, i'm doing
00:11:20.469 --> 00:11:21.637
We need to be ready for that. james: well, i'm doing my best to take the gospel
00:11:21.704 --> 00:11:24.707
James: well, i'm doing my best to take the gospel into the darkest parts
00:11:24.774 --> 00:11:25.841
My best to take the gospel into the darkest parts of the world.
00:11:25.908 --> 00:11:27.009
Into the darkest parts of the world. but i'm also trying
00:11:27.076 --> 00:11:28.177
Of the world. but i'm also trying to show them the importance
00:11:28.244 --> 00:11:29.645
But i'm also trying to show them the importance of loving one another and
00:11:29.712 --> 00:11:31.013
To show them the importance of loving one another and not picking on one another,
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.548
Of loving one another and not picking on one another, finding a reason to divide
00:11:32.615 --> 00:11:34.083
Not picking on one another, finding a reason to divide and try to conquer one another
00:11:34.150 --> 00:11:35.518
There needs to be
00:11:36.986 --> 00:11:38.120
There needs to be the overpowering, consuming,
00:11:38.187 --> 00:11:40.322
The overpowering, consuming, controlling love of god.
00:11:40.389 --> 00:11:42.558
Controlling love of god. i'm finding myself,
00:11:42.625 --> 00:11:44.193

But i'm telling you, i just find myself wanting to pour the love of god
00:11:58.140 --> 00:11:59.542
I just find myself wanting to pour the love of god out on people.
00:11:59.608 --> 00:12:00.843
To pour the love of god out on people. i find it easy to love people.
00:12:00.910 --> 00:12:02.711
Out on people. i find it easy to love people. i'm heartbroken by those who
00:12:02.778 --> 00:12:04.313
I find it easy to love people. i'm heartbroken by those who are controlled by the enemy.
00:12:04.380 --> 00:12:06.048
I'm heartbroken by those who are controlled by the enemy. they're so ugly,
00:12:06.115 --> 00:12:07.416
Are controlled by the enemy. they're so ugly, and they're frightening
00:12:07.483 --> 00:12:09.151
They're so ugly, and they're frightening because the enemy
00:12:09.218 --> 00:12:10.486
And they're frightening because the enemy is the destroyer.
00:12:10.553 --> 00:12:11.587
Because the enemy is the destroyer. i'm watching what he's doing.
00:12:11.654 --> 00:12:13.222
Is the destroyer. i'm watching what he's doing. but i'm saying, god,
00:12:13.289 --> 00:12:14.390
I'm watching what he's doing. but i'm saying, god, please raise us up
00:12:14.456 --> 00:12:15.958
But i'm saying, god, please raise us up so full of love and so full
00:12:16.025 --> 00:12:17.993
Please raise us up so full of love and so full of christ's likeness
00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:19.428
So full of love and so full of christ's likeness that they will be drawn to
00:12:19.495 --> 00:12:20.663
Of christ's likeness that they will be drawn to the jesus in us that lifts us
00:12:20.729 --> 00:12:22.898
That they will be drawn to the jesus in us that lifts us above the wages of sin
00:12:22.965 --> 00:12:25.167
The jesus in us that lifts us above the wages of sin and the power of the deceiver
00:12:25.234 --> 00:12:26.902
Above the wages of sin and the power of the deceiver and the demonic activity
00:12:26.969 --> 00:12:28.370
And the power of the deceiver and the demonic activity that's going on
00:12:28.437 --> 00:12:29.572
And the demonic activity that's going on and makes us overcomers.
00:12:29.638 --> 00:12:31.106
That's going on and makes us overcomers. i'm beginning to see

00:12:33.976 --> 00:12:35.311
Some of that in the midst of all the ugliness. i'm seeing people come
00:12:35.377 --> 00:12:36.512
Of all the ugliness. i'm seeing people come together to love people more.
00:12:36.579 --> 00:12:37.780
I'm seeing people come together to love people more. you and i watched preachers
00:12:37.847 --> 00:12:39.315
Together to love people more. you and i watched preachers from all different kinds
00:12:39.381 --> 00:12:40.516
You and i watched preachers from all different kinds of denominations when
00:12:40.583 --> 00:12:41.717
From all different kinds of denominations when they realized our nation
00:12:41.784 --> 00:12:42.852
Of denominations when they realized our nation was in such a mess.

00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:16.285
Such a great preacher. but i watched you become a lover of people that
00:13:16.352 --> 00:13:18.020
But i watched you become a lover of people that you knew you had some
00:13:18.087 --> 00:13:19.355
A lover of people that you knew you had some disagreements with, period,
00:13:19.421 --> 00:13:21.257
You knew you had some disagreements with, period, maybe even serious but
00:13:21.323 --> 00:13:22.658
Disagreements with, period, maybe even serious but not serious enough to put
00:13:22.725 --> 00:13:24.026
Maybe even serious but not serious enough to put aside the most important thing
00:13:24.093 --> 00:13:25.494
Not serious enough to put aside the most important thing and that's praying
00:13:25.561 --> 00:13:26.629
Aside the most important thing and that's praying thy will be done on this earth
00:13:26.695 --> 00:13:28.063
And that's praying thy will be done on this earth as it is in heaven.
00:13:28.130 --> 00:13:29.565
Thy will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. you helped inspire that,
00:13:29.632 --> 00:13:31.300
As it is in heaven. you helped inspire that, and i want to thank you.
00:13:31.367 --> 00:13:32.601
You helped inspire that, and i want to thank you. dr. jeffress: and what
00:13:32.668 --> 00:13:33.669
And i want to thank you. dr. jeffress: and what we agree on is so much more
00:13:33.736 --> 00:13:34.737
Dr. jeffress: and what we agree on is so much more important than what
00:13:34.803 --> 00:13:35.838
We agree on is so much more important than what we disagree on.
00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:37.139
Important than what we disagree on. i can work with anybody
00:13:37.206 --> 00:13:38.173
We disagree on. i can work with anybody who believes that jesus christ
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.475
I can work with anybody who believes that jesus christ is the son of god
00:13:39.541 --> 00:13:40.676
Who believes that jesus christ is the son of god and the only way of salvation.
00:13:40.743 --> 00:13:42.511
Is the son of god and the only way of salvation. all these other issues
00:13:42.578 --> 00:13:43.712
And the only way of salvation. all these other issues are secondary issues.
00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:46.315
All these other issues are secondary issues. the scripture says,
00:13:46.382 --> 00:13:47.950
Are secondary issues. the scripture says, "they'll know you're
00:13:48.017 --> 00:13:49.084
The scripture says, "they'll know you're my disciples by your love
00:13:49.151 --> 00:13:50.419
"they'll know you're my disciples by your love for one another."
00:13:50.486 --> 00:13:51.854
My disciples by your love for one another." one of the things that
00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:53.055
For one another." one of the things that disturbs me right now is when
00:13:53.122 --> 00:13:55.357
One of the things that disturbs me right now is when we see other christians
00:13:55.424 --> 00:13:57.459
Disturbs me right now is when we see other christians who have fallen into sin,
00:13:57.526 --> 00:13:59.795
We see other christians who have fallen into sin, there is almost among some
00:13:59.862 --> 00:14:01.363
Who have fallen into sin, there is almost among some a rejoicing in it,
00:14:01.430 --> 00:14:03.565
There is almost among some a rejoicing in it, i think maybe out of
00:14:03.632 --> 00:14:05.467
A rejoicing in it, i think maybe out of a sense of self-righteousness.
00:14:05.534 --> 00:14:07.169
I think maybe out of a sense of self-righteousness. oh, i'm not that bad.
00:14:07.236 --> 00:14:08.537
A sense of self-righteousness. oh, i'm not that bad. i could never do that.
00:14:08.604 --> 00:14:10.306
Oh, i'm not that bad. i could never do that. we're all sinners.
00:14:10.372 --> 00:14:11.440
I could never do that. we're all sinners. we all need a savior.
00:14:11.507 --> 00:14:13.208
We're all sinners. we all need a savior. we need to show grace --
00:14:13.275 --> 00:14:14.576
We all need a savior. we need to show grace -- not tolerance for sin --
00:14:14.643 --> 00:14:16.245
We need to show grace -- not tolerance for sin -- but grace toward one another.
00:14:16.312 --> 00:14:17.947
Not tolerance for sin -- but grace toward one another. i think that's important.
00:14:18.013 --> 00:14:19.481
James: in the next program,
00:14:19.581 --> 00:14:21.817
James: in the next program, we're going to talk about
00:14:21.884 --> 00:14:23.152
James: in the next program, we're going to talk about basics that come out here
00:14:23.218 --> 00:14:24.553
We're going to talk about basics that come out here in the eight or nine chapters
00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:26.121
Basics that come out here in the eight or nine chapters that are here
00:14:26.188 --> 00:14:27.289
In the eight or nine chapters that are here that are so fabulous.
00:14:27.356 --> 00:14:29.024
If you could say something
00:14:29.124 --> 00:14:30.492
If you could say something to our audience and focus
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.428
If you could say something to our audience and focus on this in these days,
00:14:32.494 --> 00:14:34.596
To our audience and focus on this in these days, what would you say?
00:14:34.663 --> 00:14:35.965
On this in these days, what would you say? focus on what in these days?
00:14:36.031 --> 00:14:38.400
What would you say? focus on what in these days? dr. jeffress: i would say
00:14:38.467 --> 00:14:39.568
Focus on what in these days? dr. jeffress: i would say that in these last days,
00:14:39.635 --> 00:14:40.803
Dr. jeffress: i would say that in these last days, which will certainly end,
00:14:40.869 --> 00:14:43.472
We need to focus inwardly on
00:14:44.773 --> 00:14:46.508
We need to focus inwardly on making sure our relationship
00:14:46.575 --> 00:14:49.445
Making sure our relationship with jesus christ
00:14:49.511 --> 00:14:50.879
The great irony is that
00:14:54.616 --> 00:14:56.518
The great irony is that even though our days are few,
00:14:56.585 --> 00:14:59.154
The great irony is that even though our days are few, life is brief.
00:14:59.221 --> 00:15:00.689
Even though our days are few, life is brief. the decisions that we make
00:15:00.756 --> 00:15:02.191
Life is brief. the decisions that we make in this life reverberate in
00:15:02.257 --> 00:15:04.326
The decisions that we make in this life reverberate in the halls of heaven forever.
00:15:04.393 --> 00:15:06.795
In this life reverberate in the halls of heaven forever. we have the chance to impact
00:15:06.862 --> 00:15:08.664
The halls of heaven forever. we have the chance to impact our eternity based on
00:15:08.731 --> 00:15:10.666
We have the chance to impact our eternity based on our faithfulness in this life,
00:15:10.733 --> 00:15:12.468
Our eternity based on our faithfulness in this life, to do what christ
00:15:12.534 --> 00:15:13.936
Our faithfulness in this life, to do what christ has called us to do.
00:15:14.003 --> 00:15:15.104
To do what christ has called us to do. i'm grateful that as
00:15:15.170 --> 00:15:16.338
Has called us to do. i'm grateful that as a christian, i never have
00:15:16.405 --> 00:15:17.573
I'm grateful that as a christian, i never have to worry about standing
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.941
A christian, i never have to worry about standing before the great white throne
00:15:19.008 --> 00:15:20.376
To worry about standing before the great white throne judgment and god determining
00:15:20.442 --> 00:15:22.044
Before the great white throne judgment and god determining whether i am going to heaven
00:15:22.111 --> 00:15:23.345
Judgment and god determining whether i am going to heaven or hell.
00:15:23.412 --> 00:15:24.713
Whether i am going to heaven or hell. that decision is made
00:15:24.780 --> 00:15:26.148
Or hell. that decision is made the moment i trust in christ.
00:15:26.215 --> 00:15:28.217
That decision is made the moment i trust in christ. but that doesn't mean
00:15:28.283 --> 00:15:29.418
The moment i trust in christ. but that doesn't mean my life won't be evaluated.
00:15:29.485 --> 00:15:30.786
But that doesn't mean my life won't be evaluated. second corinthians 5:9, 10
00:15:30.853 --> 00:15:33.155
My life won't be evaluated. second corinthians 5:9, 10 says, "for we,"
00:15:33.222 --> 00:15:34.590
Second corinthians 5:9, 10 says, "for we," talking about christians,
00:15:34.656 --> 00:15:35.891
Says, "for we," talking about christians, "must all appear before
00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:37.326
Talking about christians, "must all appear before the judgment seat of christ,
00:15:37.393 --> 00:15:38.660
"must all appear before the judgment seat of christ, the bema of christ,
00:15:38.727 --> 00:15:40.295
The judgment seat of christ, the bema of christ, that we may be rewarded for
00:15:40.362 --> 00:15:42.431
The bema of christ, that we may be rewarded for what we've done in the body,
00:15:42.498 --> 00:15:43.899
That we may be rewarded for what we've done in the body, whether it is good
00:15:43.966 --> 00:15:45.067
What we've done in the body, whether it is good or worthless."
00:15:45.134 --> 00:15:46.368
Whether it is good or worthless." the fact that christ is
00:15:46.435 --> 00:15:47.569
Or worthless." the fact that christ is coming back again means
00:15:47.636 --> 00:15:49.071
The fact that christ is coming back again means that we're going to stand
00:15:49.138 --> 00:15:50.205
Coming back again means that we're going to stand before him one day
00:15:50.272 --> 00:15:51.340
That we're going to stand before him one day as christians.
00:15:51.407 --> 00:15:52.741
Before him one day as christians. how we ought to long to hear
00:15:52.808 --> 00:15:54.176
As christians. how we ought to long to hear those words, "well done,
00:15:54.243 --> 00:15:56.078
How we ought to long to hear those words, "well done, good and faithful servant."
00:15:56.145 --> 00:15:58.313
Those words, "well done, good and faithful servant." we have the opportunity
00:15:58.380 --> 00:15:59.615
Good and faithful servant." we have the opportunity right now to order our lives
00:15:59.681 --> 00:16:01.383
We have the opportunity right now to order our lives or reorder our lives,
00:16:01.450 --> 00:16:03.285
Right now to order our lives or reorder our lives, to make sure they're living
00:16:03.352 --> 00:16:05.387
Or reorder our lives, to make sure they're living and that they're consistent
00:16:05.454 --> 00:16:06.622
To make sure they're living and that they're consistent with what christ
00:16:06.688 --> 00:16:07.790
And that they're consistent with what christ wants us to do.
00:16:07.856 --> 00:16:09.158
With what christ wants us to do. that's what the end times
00:16:09.224 --> 00:16:10.426
Wants us to do. that's what the end times means to me.
00:16:10.492 --> 00:16:11.660
That's what the end times means to me. the end times means my time
00:16:11.727 --> 00:16:13.195
Means to me. the end times means my time is short here on earth.
00:16:13.262 --> 00:16:14.396
The end times means my time is short here on earth. i don't know when jesus
00:16:14.463 --> 00:16:15.497
Is short here on earth. i don't know when jesus is coming back again.
00:16:15.564 --> 00:16:16.765
I don't know when jesus is coming back again. james and betty don't know.
00:16:16.832 --> 00:16:18.200
Is coming back again. james and betty don't know. only god the father knows
00:16:18.267 --> 00:16:20.269
James and betty don't know. only god the father knows the time.
00:16:20.335 --> 00:16:21.470
Only god the father knows the time. but what we do know is
00:16:21.537 --> 00:16:23.005
The time. but what we do know is we've got 20, 30, 40 years
00:16:23.072 --> 00:16:25.441
But what we do know is we've got 20, 30, 40 years left here on earth before
00:16:25.507 --> 00:16:27.476
We've got 20, 30, 40 years left here on earth before god takes us home,
00:16:27.543 --> 00:16:28.944
Left here on earth before god takes us home, and we need to be sure
00:16:29.011 --> 00:16:30.079
God takes us home, and we need to be sure we're ready to meet him
00:16:30.145 --> 00:16:31.313
And we need to be sure we're ready to meet him face to face.
00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:32.848
We're ready to meet him face to face. james: let me just say
00:16:32.915 --> 00:16:34.116
Face to face. james: let me just say a prayer confirming
00:16:34.183 --> 00:16:35.350
James: let me just say a prayer confirming what you just said.
00:16:35.417 --> 00:16:36.385
A prayer confirming what you just said. father, dr. jeffress
00:16:36.452 --> 00:16:37.719

Which is a miracle for a kid that never had a father and never had a home.
00:17:23.198 --> 00:17:24.666
A kid that never had a father and never had a home. but i have a father now,

And we live in joy. do you know what our greatest joy is?

Do you know what our greatest joy is? because it's what
00:17:33.142 --> 00:17:34.243
Our greatest joy is? because it's what captures your attention.
00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:35.477
Because it's what captures your attention. it's doing what
00:17:35.544 --> 00:17:36.812
Captures your attention. it's doing what jesus considered great.

It's doing what jesus considered great. not overlooking the least

00:23:30.765 --> 00:23:31.766
I'm about to whip your tail on the gym floor. it wasn't that kind of smile,
00:23:31.833 --> 00:23:32.868
On the gym floor. it wasn't that kind of smile, it was like "oh, hey!
00:23:32.934 --> 00:23:34.002
It wasn't that kind of smile, it was like "oh, hey! haven't i seen you before?"
00:23:34.069 --> 00:23:35.804
It was like "oh, hey! haven't i seen you before?" and as i got on
00:23:35.871 --> 00:23:37.005
Haven't i seen you before?" and as i got on the elliptical that day
00:23:37.072 --> 00:23:38.073
And as i got on the elliptical that day i started thinking,
00:23:38.139 --> 00:23:39.741
The elliptical that day i started thinking, i don't think she's had
00:23:39.808 --> 00:23:41.209
I started thinking, i don't think she's had any of these thoughts of me
00:23:41.276 --> 00:23:44.746
I don't think she's had any of these thoughts of me that i've assigned to her.
00:23:44.813 --> 00:23:47.115
Any of these thoughts of me that i've assigned to her. [laughter]
00:23:47.182 --> 00:23:48.550
That i've assigned to her. [laughter] like i think
00:23:48.617 --> 00:23:49.618
[laughter] like i think i have assigned to her
00:23:49.684 --> 00:23:50.752
Like i think i have assigned to her feelings of rejection
00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.820
I have assigned to her feelings of rejection that were simply perceived.
00:23:51.887 --> 00:23:54.556
Feelings of rejection that were simply perceived. and i think
00:23:54.623 --> 00:23:55.757
That were simply perceived. and i think i've been dealing with
00:23:55.824 --> 00:23:57.025
And i think i've been dealing with not only the lady at the gym
00:23:57.092 --> 00:23:58.827
I've been dealing with not only the lady at the gym in that way,
00:23:58.894 --> 00:24:00.228
Not only the lady at the gym in that way, but i think so many of
00:24:00.295 --> 00:24:01.696
In that way, but i think so many of the rejections of our past
00:24:01.763 --> 00:24:03.665
But i think so many of the rejections of our past are affecting us
00:24:03.732 --> 00:24:04.766
The rejections of our past are affecting us more than we even realize.
00:24:04.833 --> 00:24:07.202
Are affecting us more than we even realize. so sometimes rejection is real
00:24:07.269 --> 00:24:09.004
More than we even realize. so sometimes rejection is real but sometimes it is perceived.
00:24:09.070 --> 00:24:11.206
So sometimes rejection is real but sometimes it is perceived. so to answer your question
00:24:11.273 --> 00:24:12.574
But sometimes it is perceived. so to answer your question in a very funny way,
00:24:12.641 --> 00:24:15.010
So to answer your question in a very funny way, yes, i think absolutely!
00:24:15.076 --> 00:24:17.045
In a very funny way, yes, i think absolutely! the enemy is
00:24:17.112 --> 00:24:18.246
Yes, i think absolutely! the enemy is the father of lies
00:24:18.313 --> 00:24:20.549
The enemy is the father of lies he wants to speak those lies
00:24:20.615 --> 00:24:22.050
The father of lies he wants to speak those lies over us constantly
00:24:22.117 --> 00:24:25.620
He wants to speak those lies over us constantly so that destruction
00:24:25.687 --> 00:24:27.355
Over us constantly so that destruction and division can happen.
00:24:27.422 --> 00:24:29.624
So that destruction and division can happen. and that's really --
00:24:29.691 --> 00:24:31.059
And division can happen. and that's really -- there is nothing that brings
00:24:31.126 --> 00:24:32.160
And that's really -- there is nothing that brings the enemy more joy, i believe,
00:24:32.227 --> 00:24:34.062
There is nothing that brings the enemy more joy, i believe, than when he divides people
00:24:34.129 --> 00:24:36.364
The enemy more joy, i believe, than when he divides people and separates people.
00:24:36.431 --> 00:24:37.966
Than when he divides people and separates people. not only separates them
00:24:38.033 --> 00:24:39.000
And separates people. not only separates them from each other
00:24:39.067 --> 00:24:40.135
Not only separates them from each other but separates us
00:24:40.201 --> 00:24:41.269
From each other but separates us from the love of god that's
00:24:41.336 --> 00:24:42.304
But separates us from the love of god that's supposed to flow through us
00:24:42.370 --> 00:24:43.471
From the love of god that's supposed to flow through us to everyone around us.
00:24:43.538 --> 00:24:45.907
Supposed to flow through us to everyone around us. but if we're so caught up
00:24:45.974 --> 00:24:47.175
To everyone around us. but if we're so caught up in our own needs
00:24:47.242 --> 00:24:48.243
But if we're so caught up in our own needs and we walk into a room
00:24:48.310 --> 00:24:49.578
In our own needs and we walk into a room and we think,
00:24:49.644 --> 00:24:50.645
And we walk into a room and we think, who can make me feel loved?
00:24:50.712 --> 00:24:51.947
And we think, who can make me feel loved? who can make me
00:24:52.013 --> 00:24:53.014
Who can make me feel loved? who can make me feel beautiful?
00:24:53.081 --> 00:24:54.082
Who can make me feel beautiful? who can snap a picture
00:24:54.149 --> 00:24:55.150
Feel beautiful? who can snap a picture and only use the one
00:24:55.216 --> 00:24:56.217
Who can snap a picture and only use the one where i look the best?
00:24:56.284 --> 00:24:58.620
And only use the one where i look the best? it's almost like
00:24:58.687 --> 00:24:59.688
Where i look the best? it's almost like we're walking in and we're
00:24:59.754 --> 00:25:00.956
It's almost like we're walking in and we're so needy, needy, needy,
00:25:01.022 --> 00:25:02.023
We're walking in and we're so needy, needy, needy, and in essence that's us
00:25:02.090 --> 00:25:03.391
So needy, needy, needy, and in essence that's us being incredibly greedy.
00:25:03.458 --> 00:25:05.093
And in essence that's us being incredibly greedy. instead, we should have
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.328
Being incredibly greedy. instead, we should have the fullness of god.
00:25:06.394 --> 00:25:07.562
Instead, we should have the fullness of god. this is where living loved
00:25:07.629 --> 00:25:09.864
The fullness of god. this is where living loved comes in because yes,
00:25:09.931 --> 00:25:11.499
This is where living loved comes in because yes, the book is titled uninvited
00:25:11.566 --> 00:25:13.268
Comes in because yes, the book is titled uninvited but what i want
00:25:13.335 --> 00:25:15.003
The book is titled uninvited but what i want people to understand is
00:25:15.070 --> 00:25:16.204
But what i want people to understand is i want to wake up every day
00:25:16.271 --> 00:25:17.939
People to understand is i want to wake up every day and i want to be
00:25:18.006 --> 00:25:19.474
I want to wake up every day and i want to be a living testimony
00:25:19.541 --> 00:25:21.543
And i want to be a living testimony for god's love.
00:25:21.610 --> 00:25:22.677
A living testimony for god's love. i don't want to be
00:25:22.744 --> 00:25:23.812
For god's love. i don't want to be a commercial for crazy
00:25:23.878 --> 00:25:24.946
I don't want to be a commercial for crazy because honestly,
00:25:25.013 --> 00:25:26.081
A commercial for crazy because honestly, sometimes i do look like that.
00:25:26.147 --> 00:25:27.315
Because honestly, sometimes i do look like that. a commercial
00:25:27.382 --> 00:25:28.617
Sometimes i do look like that. a commercial for nothing but crazy!
00:25:28.683 --> 00:25:29.818
A commercial for nothing but crazy! in the gym
00:25:29.884 --> 00:25:31.019
For nothing but crazy! in the gym #elliptical wars. right?
00:25:31.086 --> 00:25:32.554
In the gym #elliptical wars. right? [laughter]
00:25:32.621 --> 00:25:34.856
#elliptical wars. right? [laughter] i want to wake up every day
00:25:34.923 --> 00:25:36.658
[laughter] i want to wake up every day so convinced,
00:25:36.725 --> 00:25:38.960
I want to wake up every day so convinced, absolutely assured
00:25:39.027 --> 00:25:41.162
So convinced, absolutely assured god loves me,
00:25:41.229 --> 00:25:43.865
Absolutely assured god loves me, therefore, i can bring
00:25:43.932 --> 00:25:45.767
God loves me, therefore, i can bring the fullness of god
00:25:45.834 --> 00:25:47.268
Therefore, i can bring the fullness of god into any situation i face.
00:25:47.335 --> 00:25:49.471
The fullness of god into any situation i face. instead of my insecurities
00:25:49.537 --> 00:25:51.339
Into any situation i face. instead of my insecurities being the first thing
00:25:51.406 --> 00:25:52.407
Instead of my insecurities being the first thing that walks into a room,
00:25:52.474 --> 00:25:53.475
Being the first thing that walks into a room, i can let the love of god
00:25:53.541 --> 00:25:55.076
That walks into a room, i can let the love of god be the very first thing
00:25:55.143 --> 00:25:56.144
I can let the love of god be the very first thing that enters the room.
00:25:56.211 --> 00:25:57.212
Be the very first thing that enters the room. instead of waiting
00:25:57.278 --> 00:25:58.279
That enters the room. instead of waiting for everyone else
00:25:58.346 --> 00:25:59.347
Instead of waiting for everyone else to make me feel pretty,
00:25:59.414 --> 00:26:00.482
For everyone else to make me feel pretty, my outfit looks good,
00:26:00.548 --> 00:26:01.549
To make me feel pretty, my outfit looks good, my boots are cute,
00:26:01.616 --> 00:26:02.617
My outfit looks good, my boots are cute, "thanks, james!"
00:26:02.684 --> 00:26:04.586
My boots are cute, "thanks, james!" instead of that
00:26:04.653 --> 00:26:05.654
"thanks, james!" instead of that i don't have to wait for that.
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.955
Instead of that i don't have to wait for that. if it happens, that's awesome!
00:26:07.022 --> 00:26:08.156
I don't have to wait for that. if it happens, that's awesome! but i don't have
00:26:08.223 --> 00:26:09.257
If it happens, that's awesome! but i don't have to wait for it
00:26:09.324 --> 00:26:10.458
But i don't have to wait for it because i know inside
00:26:10.525 --> 00:26:11.559
To wait for it because i know inside the heart of every person
00:26:11.626 --> 00:26:12.827
Because i know inside the heart of every person is that desperate need,
00:26:12.894 --> 00:26:14.095
The heart of every person is that desperate need, they want to be loved,
00:26:14.162 --> 00:26:15.230
Is that desperate need, they want to be loved, they want to be accepted,
00:26:15.296 --> 00:26:16.631
They want to be loved, they want to be accepted, they want to belong.
00:26:16.698 --> 00:26:17.866
They want to be accepted, they want to belong. so i can walk into the room,
00:26:17.932 --> 00:26:19.434
They want to belong. so i can walk into the room, instead of my neediness
00:26:19.501 --> 00:26:20.502
So i can walk into the room, instead of my neediness becoming my greediness,
00:26:20.568 --> 00:26:21.936
Instead of my neediness becoming my greediness, the love of god
00:26:22.003 --> 00:26:23.138
Becoming my greediness, the love of god can overflow out of me
00:26:23.204 --> 00:26:24.939
The love of god can overflow out of me and the more we ease
00:26:25.006 --> 00:26:26.541
Can overflow out of me and the more we ease the loneliness ache in others
00:26:26.608 --> 00:26:28.443
And the more we ease the loneliness ache in others the more it will be
00:26:28.510 --> 00:26:29.644
The loneliness ache in others the more it will be dramatically eased in us.
