- BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, O.S. HAWKINS.
- 00:00:13.069 --> 00:00:15.672
- [ MUSIC ]
- 00:00:15.672 --> 00:00:19.409
- - AND NOW, MATT AND LAURIE CROUCH.
- 00:00:19.409 --> 00:00:23.713
- - MATT CROUCH: PRAISE COMES TO YOU TODAY FROM BEAUTIFUL
- 00:00:23.713 --> 00:00:25.448
- DALLAS, FT. WORTH, TEXAS.
- 00:00:25.448 --> 00:00:28.051
- OUR GUEST, O.S. HAWKINS.
- 00:00:28.051 --> 00:00:30.753
- O.S., WHEN I SAY THE TERM GOD WITH US, FOR US
- 00:00:30.753 --> 00:00:35.959
- AND GOD IN US, WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
- 00:00:35.959 --> 00:00:40.630
- WHAT ARE YOU HERE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY THAT MAKES
- 00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:44.300
- SENSE OF WHAT I JUST SAID FOR US?
- 00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:46.903
- - WELL, IT'S THE PASSION.
- 00:00:46.903 --> 00:00:49.506
- IT'S THE GOSPEL.
- 00:00:49.506 --> 00:00:50.540
- GOD WITH US.
- 00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:51.908
- GOD CAME TO BE WITH US.
- 00:00:51.908 --> 00:00:54.110
- THE INCARNATION.
- 00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:56.212
- THE ANGEL SAID WHAT?
- 00:00:56.212 --> 00:00:57.413
- THE ANGEL SAID YOU SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL
- 00:00:57.413 --> 00:01:00.650
- WHICH MEANS GOD WITH US.
- 00:01:00.650 --> 00:01:02.452
- WHAT DIFFERENTIATES CHRISTIANITY FROM ALL THE
- 00:01:02.452 --> 00:01:05.155
- OTHER WORLD RELIGIONS?
- 00:01:05.155 --> 00:01:06.623
- ALL THE OTHER WORLD RELIGIONS NO MATTER WHO
- 00:01:06.623 --> 00:01:08.825
- THEY ARE THEY'RE ON A QUEST TRYING TO GET TO GOD.
- 00:01:08.825 --> 00:01:11.694
- THEY TRY TO REACH GOD THROUGH ALMS GIVING OR
- 00:01:11.694 --> 00:01:13.596
- DOING GOOD OR DOING THIS.
- 00:01:13.596 --> 00:01:15.231
- WHAT MAKES OURS DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHING ELSE IS
- 00:01:15.231 --> 00:01:18.334
- THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT US TRYING TO GET TO GOD.
- 00:01:18.334 --> 00:01:20.970
- IT'S ABOUT GOD COMING TO US IN JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:24.440
- SO GOD WITH US IS THE INCARNATION.
- 00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:26.442
- HE CAME AND CLOTHED HIMSELF IN HUMAN FLESH.
- 00:01:26.442 --> 00:01:28.878
- AND HE DID SO SO THAT HE COULD SAY TO EVERYONE THAT'S
- 00:01:28.878 --> 00:01:33.316
- LISTENING TONIGHT, I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:33.316 --> 00:01:36.119
- YOU KNOW, A LITTLE CHILD IS RESTLESS AND
- 00:01:36.119 --> 00:01:39.022
- EVERYTHING, JESUS COULD SAY I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:39.022 --> 00:01:41.391
- IF YOU THINK THAT GUY IS BORING TALKING NOW, YOU
- 00:01:41.391 --> 00:01:43.560
- SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE RABBI IN THE SYNAGOGUE
- 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.562
- IN NAZARETH. [LAUGHING]
- 00:01:45.562 --> 00:01:46.930
- A TEENAGER, NOBODY UNDERSTANDS TEENAGERS.
- 00:01:46.930 --> 00:01:49.399
- JESUS SAID HEY, I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:50.767
- I WAS A TEENAGER ONE TIME.
- 00:01:50.767 --> 00:01:52.335
- SOMEBODY TEMPTED TO SIN, JESUS SAID I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:52.335 --> 00:01:55.038
- I WAS TEMPTED IN EVERY POINT LIKE YOU YET
- 00:01:55.038 --> 00:01:56.906
- WITHOUT SIN.
- 00:01:56.906 --> 00:01:59.075
- MAYBE SOMEBODY'S LISTENING TONIGHT
- 00:01:59.075 --> 00:02:00.577
- AFRAID TO DIE.
- 00:02:00.577 --> 00:02:01.844
- JESUS SAID, HEY, I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:02:01.844 --> 00:02:03.479
- I WENT TO GETHSEMANE'S GARDEN AND SAID LORD, IF
- 00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:06.182
- IT'S POSSIBLE LET THIS PASS FROM ME.
- 00:02:06.182 --> 00:02:08.451
- SO THE INCARNATION, GOD WITH US, THE BEAUTIFUL
- 00:02:08.451 --> 00:02:12.522
- THINK OF IT HE CAME TO BE WITH US.
- 00:02:12.522 --> 00:02:14.657
- AND THEN GOD FOR US.
- 00:02:14.657 --> 00:02:18.228
- HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOR US.
- 00:02:18.228 --> 00:02:19.762
- ROMANS 8:5-8 SAYS GOD DEMONSTRATED HIS OWN LOVE
- 00:02:19.762 --> 00:02:23.333
- IN WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, WHAT?
- 00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:25.969
- CHRIST DIED FOR US.
- 00:02:25.969 --> 00:02:28.204
- HAD HE NOT COME TO BE WITH US HE COULDN'T HAVE DIED FOR
- 00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:30.773
- US, SO THE CROSS IS SO VITALLY IMPORTANT, THAT
- 00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:35.678
- GOD IS NOT JUST WITH US, SAY BUT CHRIST CAME TO DIE
- 00:02:35.678 --> 00:02:39.148
- FOR US.
- 00:02:39.148 --> 00:02:40.283
- HE TOOK MY SIN SO I COULD TAKE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
- 00:02:40.283 --> 00:02:43.319
- HE DIED MY DEATH SO I COULD LIVE HIS LIFE.
- 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.754
- AND I WAS 17 YEARS OLD WHEN I CAME TO
- 00:02:44.754 --> 00:02:48.057
- THAT REALIZATION.
- 00:02:48.057 --> 00:02:49.425
- NEVER HEARD A PRAYER IN MY HOME.
- 00:02:49.425 --> 00:02:50.860
- DIDN'T KNOW MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN WERE
- 00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:52.729
- BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.
- 00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:54.030
- BUT ANOTHER GUY WITNESSED TO ME AFTER A BASKETBALL
- 00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:56.199
- GAME WHEN I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND SHARED
- 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.035
- WITH ME HOW CHRIST HAD TAKEN MY SIN IN HIS OWN
- 00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:01.704
- BODY, DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME, ROSE FROM THE
- 00:03:01.704 --> 00:03:05.441
- DEAD AND COME TO LIVE IN ME.
- 00:03:05.441 --> 00:03:07.543
- AND I'M NOT WHAT I OUGHT TO BE TODAY A LOT OF
- 00:03:07.543 --> 00:03:09.912
- YEARS LATER BUT NEVER THE SAME SINCE THEN.
- 00:03:09.912 --> 00:03:12.115
- BUT THEN MATT, LAURIE, IT'S NOT JUST GOD WITH US.
- 00:03:12.115 --> 00:03:16.753
- IT'S NOT JUST GOD FOR US.
- 00:03:16.753 --> 00:03:18.921
- IT'S GOD IN US.
- 00:03:18.921 --> 00:03:21.090
- HE COULD HAVE NEVER COME TO LIVE IN US HAD HE NOT
- 00:03:21.090 --> 00:03:24.494
- DIED FOR US AND THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED
- 00:03:24.494 --> 00:03:27.030
- HAD HE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COME TO BE WITH US.
- 00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:30.033
- SO YOU REMEMBER WHEN PAUL WENT TO THE EPHESIANS AND
- 00:03:30.033 --> 00:03:33.836
- HE BEGAN TO TALK TO THEM IN ACTS 19 ABOUT
- 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:36.439
- THE HOLY SPIRIT?
- 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:37.874
- - OKAY.
- 00:03:37.874 --> 00:03:39.242
- - AND THEY SAID WE'VE NOT EVEN HEARD SO MUCH
- 00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:40.777
- THAT THERE IS A HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:03:40.777 --> 00:03:42.478
- AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN A
- 00:03:42.478 --> 00:03:44.480
- LOT OF CHURCHES TODAY THAT MIGHT SAY THE SAME THING.
- 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:47.250
- WE'VE NOT EVEN HEARD SO MUCH AS THE HOLY SPIRIT,
- 00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:49.986
- BUT THE BEAUTIFUL THING IS IF WE SEE GOD WITH US
- 00:03:49.986 --> 00:03:52.221
- AT BETHLEHEM, AND WE SEE GOD FOR US ON GOLGOTHA,
- 00:03:52.221 --> 00:03:56.759
- WE SEE GOD IN US AT PENTECOST WHEN THE HOLY
- 00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.162
- SPIRIT CAME TO INDWELL THE BELIEVER, TO EMPOWER
- 00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:01.931
- US, TO NEVER LEAVE US, TO GUIDE US, TO LEAD US INTO
- 00:04:01.931 --> 00:04:06.869
- ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.
- 00:04:06.869 --> 00:04:08.805
- AND TO LIVE IN US.
- 00:04:08.805 --> 00:04:10.907
- CHRIST IN ME, THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:04:10.907 --> 00:04:12.842
- AND WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
- 00:04:12.842 --> 00:04:15.411
- WELL, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATION OF IT I'VE
- 00:04:15.411 --> 00:04:18.781
- EVER SEEN WAS A NIGHT BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION.
- 00:04:18.781 --> 00:04:20.983
- JOHN RECORDS IT IN CHAPTER 14, AND JESUS
- 00:04:20.983 --> 00:04:25.254
- SAID IN VERSE 16, HE SAYS, I'M LEAVING YOU,
- 00:04:25.254 --> 00:04:28.391
- BUT I PRAYED TO THE FATHER, AND HE WILL SEND
- 00:04:28.391 --> 00:04:35.465
- ANOTHER COMFORTER, ANOTHER HELPER WHO WILL
- 00:04:35.465 --> 00:04:39.435
- ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER.
- 00:04:39.435 --> 00:04:41.270
- AND IN THAT LITTLE WORD ANOTHER IS THE WHOLE KEY
- 00:04:41.270 --> 00:04:44.607
- TO UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
- 00:04:44.607 --> 00:04:47.710
- BECAUSE WHEN WE READ THE BIBLE IN THE LANGUAGE IT
- 00:04:47.710 --> 00:04:49.345
- WAS WRITTEN, THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT WORDS THAT WE
- 00:04:49.345 --> 00:04:51.748
- TRANSLATE ANOTHER.
- 00:04:51.748 --> 00:04:54.283
- ONE, HETEROS MEANS ANOTHER OF A DIFFERENT KIND.
- 00:04:54.283 --> 00:04:58.254
- IN OTHER WORDS, WE GET OUR WORD HETEROSEXUAL
- 00:04:58.254 --> 00:05:00.256
- FROM THAT WORD.
- 00:05:00.256 --> 00:05:01.824
- HERE'S A HUMAN BEING WHOSE A MALE BUT HERE'S
- 00:05:01.824 --> 00:05:04.394
- ANOTHER HUMAN BEING OF A DIFFERENT KIND, A FEMALE.
- 00:05:04.394 --> 00:05:07.864
- BUT THERE'S ANOTHER GREEK WORD ALLOS, THAT MEANS
- 00:05:07.864 --> 00:05:12.568
- ANOTHER OF EXACTLY THE SAME KIND, SAME MAKE,
- 00:05:12.568 --> 00:05:16.739
- SAME MODEL.
- 00:05:16.739 --> 00:05:17.807
- JESUS SAID IT'S ME.
- 00:05:17.807 --> 00:05:18.908
- SAME MAKE.
- 00:05:18.908 --> 00:05:20.410
- SAME MODEL.
- 00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:21.577
- IT'S ME.
- 00:05:21.577 --> 00:05:22.712
- I'M COMING BACK IN THE PERSON OF MY SPIRIT, THE
- 00:05:22.712 --> 00:05:25.114
- FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:27.250
- AND SO THE PASSION CODE IS DIVIDED INTO THREE SECTIONS.
- 00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:33.189
- FIRST, WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN THAT GOD IS
- 00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:35.358
- WITH US?
- 00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:36.659
- THE INCARNATION.
- 00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:37.960
- BECAUSE IT MEANS SO MUCH TO OUR LIVES.
- 00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:39.762
- WITHOUT THE INCARNATION, WITHOUT CHRIST COMING AND
- 00:05:39.762 --> 00:05:42.432
- HUMBLING HIMSELF, EMPTYING HIMSELF,
- 00:05:42.432 --> 00:05:44.834
- BECOMING AND TAKING ON THE FORM OF A SERVANT AND
- 00:05:44.834 --> 00:05:47.937
- CLOTHING HIMSELF IN HUMAN FLESH AND WALKING AMONG
- 00:05:47.937 --> 00:05:50.807
- US, HE COULD HAVE NEVER DIED FOR US AND HAD HE
- 00:05:50.807 --> 00:05:53.643
- NEVER DIED FOR US, HE WOULD NOT BE LIVING
- 00:05:53.643 --> 00:05:56.579
- IN US TODAY.
- 00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:58.114
- AND SO THE PERSON AND POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
- 00:05:58.114 --> 00:06:01.417
- IS THE PASSION.
- 00:06:01.417 --> 00:06:03.519
- SO WE WROTE THE PASSION CODE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A
- 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.922
- PASSION IS AN INTENSE LONGING.
- 00:06:05.922 --> 00:06:07.723
- AND WE HEAR SOMEBODY SAY, HE HAS A PASSION FOR
- 00:06:07.723 --> 00:06:11.494
- GOLF, OR SHE HAS A PASSION FOR MUSIC.
- 00:06:11.494 --> 00:06:14.664
- WELL, JESUS LIVED WITH A PASSION, AND HIS PASSION
- 00:06:14.664 --> 00:06:18.201
- WAS TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER WHO SENT HIM.
- 00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:22.405
- IF YOU REMEMBER AT SYCHAR, THE WOMAN AT THE
- 00:06:22.405 --> 00:06:24.740
- WELL, AFTER THAT, FINALLY THE DISCIPLES CAME AND
- 00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:26.742
- BROUGHT HIM LUNCH.
- 00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:27.810
- HE SAID I'M NOT HUNGRY.
- 00:06:27.810 --> 00:06:29.078
- MY MEAT, THE THING THAT SUSTAINS ME IS WHAT?
- 00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:31.614
- TO DO THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME.
- 00:06:31.614 --> 00:06:34.217
- AND THEN THAT NIGHT UNDER GETHSEMANE'S GARDEN TREES,
- 00:06:34.217 --> 00:06:36.719
- THE NIGHT BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION, NOT MY WILL
- 00:06:36.719 --> 00:06:40.256
- BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE.
- 00:06:40.256 --> 00:06:42.625
- THAT WAS HIS PASSION, TO DO THE FATHER'S WILL.
- 00:06:42.625 --> 00:06:44.560
- AND YES, HE WENT TO THE CROSS TO DIE FOR OUR SINS.
- 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.063
- YES, IT MEANS ALL THAT TO US, BUT PRIMARILY TO BE
- 00:06:47.063 --> 00:06:51.067
- OBEDIENT TO THE FATHER'S WILL.
- 00:06:51.067 --> 00:06:52.969
- - GOD WITH US, GOD FOR US.
- 00:06:52.969 --> 00:06:55.371
- GOD IN US.
- 00:06:55.371 --> 00:06:57.173
- - UH-HUH.
- 00:06:57.173 --> 00:06:58.441
- - IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND
- 00:06:58.441 --> 00:07:01.444
- THAT IS THE PASSION CODE.
- 00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:05.014
- THIS IS OUR MONTHLY RESOURCE.
- 00:07:05.014 --> 00:07:06.749
- THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN AND IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU
- 00:07:06.749 --> 00:07:09.418
- TO CALL RIGHT NOW
- 00:07:09.418 --> 00:07:11.187
- AND ACQUIRE THIS.
- 00:07:11.187 --> 00:07:13.089
- 100 DAYS WITH JESUS.
- 00:07:13.089 --> 00:07:16.125
- - TOM NEWMAN: I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.
- 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.729
- THINGS THAT WERE DORMANT IN WINTER HAVE STARTED TO
- 00:07:19.729 --> 00:07:22.031
- SPRING TO LIFE AGAIN.
- 00:07:22.031 --> 00:07:23.666
- FRIEND, NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH IN
- 00:07:23.666 --> 00:07:26.369
- THE PAST YEAR, SPRING IS IN THE AIR, AND IT'S TIME
- 00:07:26.369 --> 00:07:29.372
- TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH FOR WHAT'S IT'S JUST AHEAD.
- 00:07:29.372 --> 00:07:32.675
- I'M REMINDED OF A STORY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT OF A
- 00:07:32.675 --> 00:07:35.611
- WOMAN WHO NEEDED A MIRACLE OF PROVISION.
- 00:07:35.611 --> 00:07:38.247
- SHE WENT TO THE PROPHET ELISHA THINKING THAT HE
- 00:07:38.247 --> 00:07:40.950
- WOULD GIVE HER THE MIRACLE, BUT INSTEAD HE
- 00:07:40.950 --> 00:07:43.586
- SENT HER HOME.
- 00:07:43.586 --> 00:07:44.987
- THE MIRACLE SHE NEEDED WAS ALREADY IN HER HOUSE.
- 00:07:44.987 --> 00:07:48.724
- THE MIRACLE MESSAGE OF TBN IS GOING TO CONTINUE
- 00:07:48.724 --> 00:07:51.694
- TO REACH INTO YOUR HOUSE AND HOMES AROUND, AND WE
- 00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:54.130

- ANY AMOUNT, WE'LL SEND YOU PROVISION PROMISES BY

- PASTOR JOSEPH PRINCE REVEALING THE ABUNDANT

- LIFE THAT IS YOURS IN CHRIST.
- 00:08:03.105 --> 00:08:05.608
- - HE'S TELLING US PUT THE PRIORITIES RIGHT.
- 00:08:05.608 --> 00:08:07.476
- PUT YOUR INNER MAN FIRST AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
- 00:08:07.476 --> 00:08:11.080
- FIRST, AND THEN ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE ADDED TO YOU.
- 00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:14.417
- - AND FOR YOUR GENEROUS GIFT OF $35 OR MORE, YOU'LL
- 00:08:14.417 --> 00:08:16.719
- RECEIVE O.S. HAWKINS PASSION CODE, 100 DAYS WITH JESUS.
- 00:08:16.719 --> 00:08:22.358
- - WE HAVE GOD'S WORD, GOD'S PROMISES TO US,
- 00:08:22.358 --> 00:08:26.028
- AND WE HAVE A GOD WHO SPEAKS TO US.
- 00:08:26.028 --> 00:08:28.230
- I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU FINDING A BIBLE PROMISE
- 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:31.100
- AND PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE DOING THAT.
- 00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:33.803
- YOU DON'T FIND A BIBLE PROMISE.
- 00:08:33.803 --> 00:08:35.571
- A BIBLE PROMISE FINDS YOU.
- 00:08:35.571 --> 00:08:37.540
- - YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT MAKES YOU A VITAL PART
- 00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:39.976
- OF THIS MISSION TO REACH THE WORLD WITH
- 00:08:39.976 --> 00:08:42.111
- THE LOVE OF CHRIST.
- 00:08:42.111 --> 00:08:43.346
- THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.
- 00:08:43.346 --> 00:08:46.515
- - TODAY THE PASSION CODE IS UPON US, O.S. HAWKINS.
- 00:08:47.550 --> 00:08:50.386
- THANK YOU. THIS IS OUR MONTHLY RESOURCE.
- 00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:53.255
- THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU
- 00:08:53.255 --> 00:08:56.225
- TO CALL RIGHT NOW.
- 00:08:56.225 --> 00:08:58.694
- AND WHAT I LOVE THAT YOU'VE DONE HERE IS
- 00:08:58.694 --> 00:09:01.998
- YOU'VE TAKEN BASICALLY A SCRIPTURE, YOU'VE ADDED A
- 00:09:01.998 --> 00:09:05.568
- PRAYER AND ALL OF THIS ON DAY ONE, LORD, MAY THE
- 00:09:05.568 --> 00:09:10.439
- ROOTS OF MY LIFE BE SUNK DEEP INTO YOUR TRUTH,
- 00:09:10.439 --> 00:09:14.210
- MAY MY PASSION FOR KNOWING YOU GROW EACH DAY
- 00:09:14.210 --> 00:09:17.847
- GREATER AND GREATER, IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
- 00:09:17.847 --> 00:09:21.283
- SO THIS IS REALLY A WAKE UP KIND OF FIRST THING,
- 00:09:21.283 --> 00:09:26.589
- HAVE IT ON THE NIGHTSTAND.
- 00:09:26.589 --> 00:09:28.357
- THIS IS YOUR KIND OF WORD FOR THE DAY KIND OF THING.
- 00:09:28.357 --> 00:09:32.495
- OKAY, HOW DOES THIS, HOW DOES THAT WORK?
- 00:09:32.495 --> 00:09:38.034
- HOW DOES SOMEONE BECOME CLOSER TO JESUS?
- 00:09:38.034 --> 00:09:41.971
- WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE PERSON THAT DOES THIS?
- 00:09:41.971 --> 00:09:45.508
- - WELL, THIS PASSION CODE TAKES US ON A
- 00:09:45.508 --> 00:09:48.778
- JOURNEY, AND THE MOTIVATION BEHIND IT IS
- 00:09:48.778 --> 00:09:51.714
- FOR US TO FINISH THIS BOOK IN A HUNDRED
- 00:09:51.714 --> 00:09:53.916
- DAYS WITH A NEW PASSION TO KNOW CHRIST.
- 00:09:53.916 --> 00:09:57.820
- AND IT LEADS UP ALL THAT ABOUT THE INCARNATION
- 00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:01.023
- WE NEED TO KNOW AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
- 00:10:01.023 --> 00:10:03.392
- MOST OF US KNOW, WE'VE HEARD THAT JESUS DIED ON
- 00:10:03.392 --> 00:10:05.861
- A CROSS FOR OUR SINS, BUT WHAT DOES THAT REALLY
- 00:10:05.861 --> 00:10:08.030
- MEAN? WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?
- 00:10:08.030 --> 00:10:09.832
- WHAT DID HE GO THROUGH?
- 00:10:09.832 --> 00:10:11.300
- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN THAT ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAD
- 00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:13.903
- GONE ASTRAY BUT GOD LAID ON HIM THE SINS OF US
- 00:10:13.903 --> 00:10:18.174
- ALL, AND HE SUFFERED THE SHAME AND THE HURT AND
- 00:10:18.174 --> 00:10:20.609
- HUMILIATION, PAIN, AGONY AND DEATH.
- 00:10:20.609 --> 00:10:23.646
- BUT THEN WE END IN THAT LAST THIRD OF THE BOOK
- 00:10:23.646 --> 00:10:26.949
- WITH WHAT I CONSIDER THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR
- 00:10:26.949 --> 00:10:29.985
- THE CHRISTIAN JOURNEY IN DEVELOPING PASSION AND
- 00:10:29.985 --> 00:10:32.054
- THAT IS COMING TO KNOW THE PERSON AND THE POWER
- 00:10:32.054 --> 00:10:34.490
- OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES AND THE
- 00:10:34.490 --> 00:10:37.860
- WAY HE MANIFESTS HIMSELF.
- 00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:39.862
- THERE'S ONE COMMANDMENT ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:10:39.862 --> 00:10:44.100
- THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES TO LIVE IN US WHEN WE COME
- 00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:45.968
- TO KNOW CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR.
- 00:10:45.968 --> 00:10:47.770
- JESUS SAID HE'S THE SAME MAKE, SAME MODEL AS ME.
- 00:10:47.770 --> 00:10:50.740
- THE TRINITY, WHAT A MYSTERY: THE FATHER,
- 00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.575
- THE SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. EVERYTHING IS A TRIOD.
- 00:10:52.575 --> 00:10:57.413
- WE'RE MADE UP OF WHAT? SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY.
- 00:10:57.413 --> 00:11:00.916
- MOST PEOPLE-- THAT'S 1 THESSALONIANS 5:23.
- 00:11:00.916 --> 00:11:04.353
- WE'RE TRICHOTOMOUS IN THAT SENSE; DICHOTOMOUS
- 00:11:04.353 --> 00:11:07.323
- IN THE SENSE YOU CAN'T SEPARATE THE
- 00:11:07.323 --> 00:11:08.891
- SPIRIT AND THE SOUL.
- 00:11:08.891 --> 00:11:10.159
- MOST OF US SAY IF YOU ASK THAT QUESTION, OH, WE'RE
- 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.628
- BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT BECAUSE WE'RE SO BODY CONSCIOUS.
- 00:11:12.628 --> 00:11:15.698
- WE SPEND ALL OUR TIME TAKING CARE OF THAT PART
- 00:11:15.698 --> 00:11:17.700
- OF US THAT'S GONNA GO TO DUST, BUT I'M NOT A BODY.
- 00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:19.602
- I AM A SPIRIT.
- 00:11:19.602 --> 00:11:21.804
- I HAVE A SOUL, A SEAT OF MY EMOTIONS, AND I LIVE
- 00:11:21.804 --> 00:11:24.573
- IN A BODY, BUT I AM SPIRIT AND I CAN
- 00:11:24.573 --> 00:11:27.042
- CONNECT WITH GOD. IT'S WHAT DIFFERENTIATES US
- 00:11:27.042 --> 00:11:28.944
- FROM ALL THE OTHER CREATED ORDER.
- 00:11:28.944 --> 00:11:31.147
- SO EVERYTHING, MATT AND LAURIE, IS A TRIAD BUT TAKE THE
- 00:11:31.147 --> 00:11:33.883
- COMMANDMENT TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:11:33.883 --> 00:11:36.118
- EPHESIANS 5:8.
- 00:11:36.118 --> 00:11:38.154
- THAT'S OUR GOD'S COMMAND TO US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:11:38.154 --> 00:11:40.256
- WE'RE TO BE FILLED WITH GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:11:40.256 --> 00:11:42.291
- WHAT'S THE EVIDENCE?
- 00:11:42.291 --> 00:11:43.993
- HOW ARE WE GONNA KNOW THE EVIDENCE?
- 00:11:43.993 --> 00:11:45.361
- SOME PEOPLE THINK IT'S CERTAIN GIFTS, BUT
- 00:11:45.361 --> 00:11:46.962
- THERE'S NO PERIOD AT THE END OF VERSE 18 IN
- 00:11:46.962 --> 00:11:49.498
- EPHESIANS 5 BECAUSE THE NEXT VERSE, SINGING AND
- 00:11:49.498 --> 00:11:54.970
- MAKING MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD.
- 00:11:54.970 --> 00:11:56.906
- THAT'S THE INWARD EVIDENCE.
- 00:11:56.906 --> 00:11:58.240
- DO YOU EVER FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT?
- 00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.642
- YOU KNOW HOW YOU'LL KNOW IT?
- 00:11:59.642 --> 00:12:00.676
- YOU'LL HAVE A SONG IN YOUR HEART.
- 00:12:00.676 --> 00:12:01.977
- YOU CAN'T HELP IT.
- 00:12:01.977 --> 00:12:03.078
- YOU'LL HAVE A SONG IN YOUR HEART.
- 00:12:03.078 --> 00:12:04.246
- THE NEXT VERSE, VERSE 20, THAT'S THE UPWARD
- 00:12:04.246 --> 00:12:07.316
- EVIDENCE, GIVING THANKS ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER
- 00:12:07.316 --> 00:12:10.386
- AND SUPPLICATION IN SPIRIT.
- 00:12:10.386 --> 00:12:11.620
- GIVING THANKS, THAT'S HOW WE LET GOD KNOW THAT
- 00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:15.191
- WE'RE FILLED BECAUSE WE'RE GRATEFUL, WE'RE
- 00:12:15.191 --> 00:12:18.494
- THANKFUL, WE'RE THANKING GOD ALL THE TIME.
- 00:12:18.494 --> 00:12:21.163
- AND THEN THE NEXT VERSE IS THE OUTWARD EVIDENCE,
- 00:12:21.163 --> 00:12:24.700
- SUBMITTING YOURSELVES ONE TO ANOTHER IN THE FEAR OF
- 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:28.270
- GOD. AND SO THAT'S THE EVIDENCE OF BEING.
- 00:12:28.270 --> 00:12:31.674
- SO ALL OF IT, TAKE THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
- 00:12:31.674 --> 00:12:34.176
- YOU KNOW THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IN GALATIANS,
- 00:12:34.176 --> 00:12:36.278
- THE SAME THREE EVIDENCES WE FIND RIGHT THERE,
- 00:12:36.278 --> 00:12:39.381
- THE UPWARD EVIDENCE, LOVE, JOY, PEACE.
- 00:12:39.381 --> 00:12:43.652
- THE OUTWARD EVIDENCE, OTHER PEOPLE AROUND US,
- 00:12:43.652 --> 00:12:45.955
- LONG SUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS.
- 00:12:45.955 --> 00:12:48.924
- WHAT'S THE INWARD EVIDENCE?
- 00:12:48.924 --> 00:12:50.192
- THE LAST THREE, FAITHFULNESS,
- 00:12:50.192 --> 00:12:52.027
- GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL.
- 00:12:52.027 --> 00:12:54.196
- SO THE WHOLE THING IS WRAPPED UP IN THE FATHER
- 00:12:54.196 --> 00:12:56.799
- AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IN THIS
- 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.868
- TRIAD THAT'S COME TO US.
- 00:12:58.868 --> 00:13:00.970
- AND SO THE LAST PART OF THIS PASSION GOES TO GET
- 00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:03.205
- US TO A REAL PASSION AND LONGING TO KNOW WHO THE
- 00:13:03.205 --> 00:13:06.642
- HOLY SPIRIT IS, TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY
- 00:13:06.642 --> 00:13:09.345
- SPIRIT, THAT IT MIGHT BE MANIFEST IN OUR LIVES,
- 00:13:09.345 --> 00:13:12.147
- THAT WE HAVE A SONG IN OUR HEART, AND WE HAVE AN
- 00:13:12.147 --> 00:13:14.350
- ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE AND THANKSGIVING, AND THAT WE
- 00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:17.086
- ESTEEM OTHER PEOPLE AS BETTER THAN OURSELVES.
- 00:13:17.086 --> 00:13:21.390
- - HELP OUR AUDIENCE UNDERSTAND O.S.
- 00:13:21.390 --> 00:13:26.095
- THAT PUTTING THE WORK INTO THIS TYPE OF
- 00:13:26.095 --> 00:13:29.865
- DEVOTIONAL AT THE END IS WORTH IT.
- 00:13:29.865 --> 00:13:33.936
- WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO GET OUT OF GETTING THIS
- 00:13:33.936 --> 00:13:38.407
- BOOK, READING IT AND GOING THROUGH
- 00:13:38.407 --> 00:13:40.476
- THE HUNDRED DAY JOURNEY.
- 00:13:40.476 --> 00:13:42.144
- - WELL, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THAT
- 00:13:42.144 --> 00:13:43.712
- WE MAY KNOW HIM, PAUL SAID IN PHILIPPIANS,
- 00:13:43.712 --> 00:13:47.216
- AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION.
- 00:13:47.216 --> 00:13:50.352
- AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
- 00:13:50.352 --> 00:13:51.921
- I WANT PEOPLE, WHEN THEY GET THROUGH READING THIS,
- 00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:54.623
- TO KNOW HIM, NOT ABOUT HIM, BUT IN THE INTIMACY
- 00:13:54.623 --> 00:14:00.896
- OF FATHER AND CHILD, TO COME TO KNOW HIM IN THE
- 00:14:00.896 --> 00:14:04.333
- PERSON OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT, TO UNDERSTAND
- 00:14:04.333 --> 00:14:07.036
- THAT GOD, HE'S COME TO LIVE IN US.
- 00:14:07.036 --> 00:14:09.705
- HE'S PROMISED NEVER TO LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US,
- 00:14:09.705 --> 00:14:12.041
- TO EMPOWER US, TO LEAD US, TO GUIDE US.
- 00:14:12.041 --> 00:14:14.677
- AND I HOPE THAT AT THE END OF A HUNDRED DAYS OF
- 00:14:14.677 --> 00:14:17.413
- THESE DEVOTIONALS THAT THEY'LL COME TO THE END
- 00:14:17.413 --> 00:14:20.816
- OF THAT HUNDRED DAYS AND THEY'LL HAVE A PASSION
- 00:14:20.816 --> 00:14:24.453
- THAT'S LIKE HIM.
- 00:14:24.453 --> 00:14:27.222
- YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS WE WILL BE LIKE HIM FOR
- 00:14:27.222 --> 00:14:32.394
- WE'LL SEE HIM AS HE IS. THAT'S IN HEAVEN.
- 00:14:32.394 --> 00:14:35.097
- BUT ON THE WAY, I WANT PEOPLE TO SEE JESUS AS
- 00:14:35.097 --> 00:14:37.700
- HE IS AND BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM,
- 00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:40.903
- SO THAT'S THE END GAME.
- 00:14:40.903 --> 00:14:42.705
- THAT'S THE END RESULT FROM WHAT WE'RE TRYING
- 00:14:42.705 --> 00:14:45.708
- TO SEE PEOPLE DO HERE.
- 00:14:45.708 --> 00:14:47.176
- MATT, WE'VE MADE IT EASY FOR THEM.
- 00:14:47.176 --> 00:14:48.644
- EVERY DAY'S DEVOTIONAL THERE'S A CODE WORD THERE.
- 00:14:48.644 --> 00:14:51.380
- THE ISSUE IS TO READ THE DEVOTIONAL AND THE VERSE,
- 00:14:51.380 --> 00:14:56.251
- AND THEN THERE'S A CODE WORD EVERY DAY.
- 00:14:56.251 --> 00:14:58.087
- TAKE THAT CODE WORD, WRITE IT DOWN AND TO
- 00:14:58.087 --> 00:15:00.622
- REMEMBER IT, AND IT WILL HELP YOU REMEMBER THE
- 00:15:00.622 --> 00:15:03.292
- WHOLE MESSAGE OF THE DEVOTIONAL.
- 00:15:03.292 --> 00:15:05.160
- AND THEN THERE'S A PASSION PROCLAMATION.
- 00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:07.396
- THERE'S A VERSE YOU CAN STAND ON.
- 00:15:07.396 --> 00:15:09.098
- HOPEFULLY YOU'LL MEMORIZE, AND THEN
- 00:15:09.098 --> 00:15:12.134
- THERE'S A PRAYER THERE THAT YOU CAN PRAY.
- 00:15:12.134 --> 00:15:15.037
- YOU KNOW SCRIPTURE MEMORY IS A LOST ART AND IT IS
- 00:15:15.037 --> 00:15:18.607
- SO VITALLY IMPORTANT.
- 00:15:18.607 --> 00:15:20.743
- WHEN I WAS SAVED WHEN I WAS 17, YOU ASKED ME
- 00:15:20.743 --> 00:15:23.712
- ABOUT IT A MINUTE AGO.
- 00:15:23.712 --> 00:15:25.314
- BACK IN THOSE DAYS, YOU'D COME FORWARD AT AN
- 00:15:25.314 --> 00:15:27.216
- INVITATION IN THE CHURCH, AND YOU'D STAND THERE,
- 00:15:27.216 --> 00:15:29.585
- AND EVERYBODY WOULD COME BY AND SHAKE
- 00:15:29.585 --> 00:15:30.986
- YOUR HAND AND EVERYTHING.
- 00:15:30.986 --> 00:15:32.221
- WELL I WAS 17, AND I WAS STANDING DOWN THERE,
- 00:15:32.221 --> 00:15:34.790
- JUST PUT MY FAITH AND TRUST IN CHRIST.
- 00:15:34.790 --> 00:15:37.793
- AN OLD GENTLEMAN CAME BY AND PUT A PIECE OF PAPER
- 00:15:37.793 --> 00:15:41.630
- IN MY HAND AND HE SAID SON, YOU BETTER
- 00:15:41.630 --> 00:15:43.899
- MEMORIZE THIS, YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT.
- 00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:46.001
- AND I PUT IT IN MY POCKET, DIDN'T THINK
- 00:15:46.001 --> 00:15:47.369
- MUCH MORE ABOUT IT.
- 00:15:47.369 --> 00:15:48.737
- THE NEXT DAY AFTER SCHOOL, I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH
- 00:15:48.737 --> 00:15:52.408
- SCHOOL, I GOT IN MY CAR, MY OLD '56 CHEVROLET.
- 00:15:52.408 --> 00:15:54.843
- WISH I STILL HAD IT.
- 00:15:54.843 --> 00:15:56.478
- AND I GOT IN MY CAR, DROVE DOWNTOWN FT. WORTH
- 00:15:56.478 --> 00:15:59.214
- TO, I'D SEEN AN OLD BAPTIST BOOKSTORE DOWN
- 00:15:59.214 --> 00:16:02.184
- THERE, AND I WENT IN THERE AND BOUGHT MY
- 00:16:02.184 --> 00:16:04.353
- FIRST BIBLE. I WAS 17.
- 00:16:04.353 --> 00:16:06.455
- AND I WENT BACK OUT IN MY CAR, AND SITTING IN MY
- 00:16:06.455 --> 00:16:08.624
- CAR AND BEFORE I STARTED IT, I TOOK THAT PIECE OF
- 00:16:08.624 --> 00:16:13.529
- PAPER OUT THAT GUY GAVE ME.
- 00:16:13.529 --> 00:16:15.030
- I THOUGHT IT WAS HIEROGLYPHICS.
- 00:16:15.030 --> 00:16:16.365
- I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT.
- 00:16:16.365 --> 00:16:17.499
- IT HAD A ONE C-O-R, THEN IT HAD A 10, THEN A COLON,
- 00:16:17.499 --> 00:16:22.838
- THEN IT HAD A ONE AND A THREE.
- 00:16:22.838 --> 00:16:25.240
- AND I THOUGHT -- I HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS.
- 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.543
- SO I WAS OPENING THAT BIBLE, AND I LOOKED IN THERE, AND
- 00:16:27.543 --> 00:16:29.478
- IN THE FIRST OF IT, IT SHOWED ME ALL THE BOOKS OF
- 00:16:29.478 --> 00:16:32.347
- BIBLE, AND THEN IT SAYS 1 C-O-R, I CORINTHIANS, IT
- 00:16:32.347 --> 00:16:36.185
- GAVE THE PAGE NUMBER.
- 00:16:36.185 --> 00:16:37.986
- I TURNED OVER THERE, AND THEN I SAW THESE NUMBERS AT
- 00:16:37.986 --> 00:16:40.355
- THE TOP, IT DAWNED ON ME, MAYBE IT'S CHAPTER VERSE.
- 00:16:40.355 --> 00:16:44.460
- I TURNED TO I CORINTHIANS 10, THEN I STARTED SEEING
- 00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:48.664
- ALL OF THOSE VERSES HAD NUMBERS ON THEM.
- 00:16:48.664 --> 00:16:52.468
- AND I WENT DOWN TO 13, AND IT SAYS, "THERE HAS NO
- 00:16:52.468 --> 00:16:56.805
- TEMPTATION TAKEN YOU BUT SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN,
- 00:16:56.805 --> 00:17:00.242
- BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, AND HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED ABOVE
- 00:17:00.242 --> 00:17:04.179
- THAT YOU'RE ABLE BUT WILL, WITH THE TEMPTATION, MAKE A
- 00:17:04.179 --> 00:17:06.882
- WAY TO ESCAPE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT." AND I
- 00:17:06.882 --> 00:17:10.786
- MEMORIZED THAT SITTING IN THAT CAR THAT DAY, AND I CAN'T
- 00:17:10.786 --> 00:17:13.589
- TELL YOU, LAURIE AND MATT, HOW MANY TIMES IN COLLEGE
- 00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:17.759
- AND LATER ON AND UNTIL THIS VERY DAY, I'LL GET TO
- 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.796
- TEMPTATION'S CORNER ABOUT TO MAKE A WRONG TURN, AND THAT
- 00:17:20.796 --> 00:17:25.000
- VERSE WILL COME IN MY MIND.
- 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.268
- HEY, LISTEN, THERE'S NO TEMPTATION TAKING YOU BUT
- 00:17:26.268 --> 00:17:28.237
- SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN.
- 00:17:28.237 --> 00:17:29.872
- SO ANOTHER THING THIS TRIES TO GET US TO DO IS HIDE THE
- 00:17:29.872 --> 00:17:33.408
- WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEART.
- 00:17:33.408 --> 00:17:35.344
- BUT WHAT DOES IT SAY?
- 00:17:35.344 --> 00:17:37.479
- PUT THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR HEART, WHY?
- 00:17:37.479 --> 00:17:38.780
- THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST THEE.
- 00:17:38.780 --> 00:17:42.317
- AND IN THE NORMAL TRAFFIC PATTERN OF OUR BIBLE
- 00:17:42.317 --> 00:17:44.820
- READING, AND THAT'S WHY THE PASSION CODE'S FILLED WITH
- 00:17:44.820 --> 00:17:48.490
- THESE VERSES OF HOPE BECAUSE GOD WILL TAKE ONE OF THOSE
- 00:17:48.490 --> 00:17:52.394
- VERSES WHEN YOU'RE READING IT IN YOUR DEVOTION
- 00:17:52.394 --> 00:17:55.731
- AND QUICKEN IT, AND YOU'LL SAY
- 00:17:55.731 --> 00:17:56.665
- THAT'S JUST FOR ME.
- 00:17:56.665 --> 00:17:57.933
- THEN YOU CLIMB UP ON TOP OF IT, AND YOU STAND THERE AND
- 00:17:57.933 --> 00:18:00.035
- YOU BELIEVE BECAUSE FAITH COME BY HEARING,
- 00:18:00.035 --> 00:18:02.804
- AND HEARING BY THE WORD.
- 00:18:02.804 --> 00:18:03.972
- - SO GOOD.
- 00:18:03.972 --> 00:18:04.907
- - "IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE,
- 00:18:04.907 --> 00:18:07.709
- THE FLESH PROFITS NOTHING.
- 00:18:07.709 --> 00:18:10.512
- THE WORD THAT I SPEAK TO YOU ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY
- 00:18:10.512 --> 00:18:13.649
- ARE LIFE." JOHN 6:63.
- 00:18:13.649 --> 00:18:16.919
- THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE THIS DEVOTIONAL.
- 00:18:16.919 --> 00:18:21.757

- MOTIVATION BEHIND IT IS FOR US TO FINISH THIS BOOK IN A

- HUNDRED DAYS WITH A NEW PASSION TO KNOW CHRIST.
- 00:19:27.656 --> 00:19:31.893
- - YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT MAKES YOU A VITAL PART OF
- 00:19:31.893 --> 00:19:34.229
- THIS MISSION TO REACH THE WORLD WITH THE LOVE OF
- 00:19:34.229 --> 00:19:36.398
- CHRIST, THANK YOU.
- 00:19:36.398 --> 00:19:38.200
- - IF SOMEBODY JUST TUNED IN, THE PASSION THAT YOU
- 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.436
- WRITE ABOUT, WHEN DID THAT JOURNEY FEEL COMPLETE ENOUGH
- 00:19:41.436 --> 00:19:46.275
- TO SIT DOWN AND START AUTHORING A BOOK ABOUT IT?
- 00:19:46.275 --> 00:19:49.444
- - OH, I DON'T THINK IT WILL EVER FEEL COMPLETE ENOUGH TO
- 00:19:49.444 --> 00:19:51.880
- DO THAT, BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF BEING FAITHFUL
- 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:55.984
- OVER THOSE LITTLE THINGS, AND GOD MAKING YOU RULER
- 00:19:55.984 --> 00:19:57.853
- OVER GREATER THINGS, JUST BEING OBEDIENT TO HIM, WHERE
- 00:19:57.853 --> 00:20:00.856
- HE IS AND WHAT HE DOES.
- 00:20:00.856 --> 00:20:03.925
- AND YOU KNOW, I CAME TO KNOW CHRIST WHEN I WAS 17,
- 00:20:03.925 --> 00:20:08.230
- AND MY LIFE WAS RADICALLY TRANSFORMED.
- 00:20:08.230 --> 00:20:11.833
- I NEVER HEARD THE WORD, LAURIE, "REPENTANCE" UNTIL
- 00:20:11.833 --> 00:20:14.936
- ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I WAS SAVED, BUT I KNOW I REPENTED
- 00:20:14.936 --> 00:20:18.407
- AS A 17 YEAR-OLD BOY. YOU KNOW HOW?
- 00:20:18.407 --> 00:20:20.242
- BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY I STARTED HATING WHAT I USED
- 00:20:20.242 --> 00:20:23.045
- TO LOVE, AND LOVING WHAT I USED TO HATE.
- 00:20:23.045 --> 00:20:25.681
- THOSE PLACES I USED TO GO ON FRIDAY NIGHT, I HAD NO MORE
- 00:20:25.681 --> 00:20:28.417
- DESIRE TO DO THEM ANYMORE. I HAD A NEW PASSION.
- 00:20:28.417 --> 00:20:31.053
- THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I MIGHT LOVE TO DO LIKE
- 00:20:31.053 --> 00:20:34.156
- HANGING AROUND WITH A BUNCH OF CHURCH PEOPLE LIKE YOU...
- 00:20:34.156 --> 00:20:35.691
- [LAUGHTER]
- 00:20:35.691 --> 00:20:37.025
- ...I FOUND MY GREATEST JOY IN DOING.
- 00:20:37.025 --> 00:20:39.594
- AND GOD CHANGED MY DESIRES.
- 00:20:39.594 --> 00:20:41.263
- THAT'S WHAT PSALM 37 SAYS, "DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE
- 00:20:41.263 --> 00:20:44.266
- LORD, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART."
- 00:20:44.266 --> 00:20:47.235
- THAT DOESN'T MEAN WHATEVER YOUR LITTLE HEART DESIRES,
- 00:20:47.235 --> 00:20:49.037
- HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU.
- 00:20:49.037 --> 00:20:50.205
- IT MEANS YOU DELIGHT IN HIM, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE
- 00:20:50.205 --> 00:20:53.108
- DESIRES THAT ARE IN YOUR HEART, AND YOU'LL BEGIN TO
- 00:20:53.108 --> 00:20:55.577
- LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, AND THAT'S WHERE POWER COMES.
- 00:20:55.577 --> 00:20:59.781
- - YOU KNOW WHAT?
- 00:20:59.781 --> 00:21:00.916
- THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CONVICT, TO TELL
- 00:21:00.916 --> 00:21:05.754
- YOU WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT?
- 00:21:05.754 --> 00:21:08.290
- NOBODY HAS TO TELL ME WHEN I'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG.
- 00:21:08.290 --> 00:21:10.525
- - EXACTLY.
- 00:21:10.525 --> 00:21:11.593
- - I FEEL IT, I FEEL IT IN EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
- 00:21:11.593 --> 00:21:14.796
- - THAT'S PROOF YOU KNOW HIM.
- 00:21:14.796 --> 00:21:15.997
- - YEAH, AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE IT KEEPS
- 00:21:15.997 --> 00:21:19.801
- YOU, IT KEEPS YOU ON THE PATH THAT GOD HAS MADE FOR
- 00:21:19.801 --> 00:21:24.272
- YOU ALREADY SO WE CAN BE HUMBLE, AND WE CAN STAY
- 00:21:24.272 --> 00:21:28.777
- COMMITTED TO THAT PATH.
- 00:21:28.777 --> 00:21:30.045
- BUT I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT IN MY LIFE.
- 00:21:30.045 --> 00:21:34.449
- - WE ARE SITTING WITH O.S. HAWKINS.
- 00:21:34.449 --> 00:21:36.551
- O.S. HAWKINS IS OUR DEAR FRIEND FOR MANY, MANY YEARS,
- 00:21:36.551 --> 00:21:40.622
- AND "THE PASSION CODE" IS AVAILABLE BY GOING TO THE
- 00:21:40.622 --> 00:21:44.926
- NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN.
- 00:21:44.926 --> 00:21:45.894
- WE WANT YOU TO GET IT.
- 00:21:45.894 --> 00:21:47.095
- O.S. HAWKINS, THE PREACHER IN YOU, YOU'RE AN AUTHOR,
- 00:21:47.095 --> 00:21:51.166
- YOU'RE WRITING THINGS NOW, YOU WANT US FILLED
- 00:21:51.166 --> 00:21:53.935
- WITH THE PASSION.
- 00:21:53.935 --> 00:21:55.303
- GOD HAS SHOWN THAT HE'S WITH US, HE'S FOR US,
- 00:21:55.303 --> 00:21:58.407
- HE'S IN US NOW.
- 00:21:58.407 --> 00:21:59.808
- THE PASSION OF JESUS SHOULD FLOW OUT THROUGH ALL OF US,
- 00:21:59.808 --> 00:22:03.044
- BUT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO GET THERE FIRST.
- 00:22:03.044 --> 00:22:04.746
- - RIGHT.
- 00:22:04.746 --> 00:22:05.647
- - SO PLEASE, DO YOUR THING.
- 00:22:05.647 --> 00:22:07.549
- - SO THE BIBLE SAYS
- 00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:08.750
- HEAVEN'S A FREE GIFT. YOU CAN'T EARN IT.
- 00:22:08.750 --> 00:22:11.052
- YOU CAN'T DESERVE IT, IT'S A GIFT.
- 00:22:11.052 --> 00:22:14.055
- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET A GIFT IS JUST TO RECEIVE IT.
- 00:22:14.055 --> 00:22:17.659
- IF MATT GAVE ME A GIFT, AND I SAID, WELL, HERE'S A
- 00:22:17.659 --> 00:22:20.495
- HUNDRED DOLLARS, I COULD HAVE GONE DOWN TO
- 00:22:20.495 --> 00:22:22.831
- THE STORE AND BOUGHT THAT.
- 00:22:22.831 --> 00:22:24.065
- A GIFT IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING.
- 00:22:24.065 --> 00:22:26.201
- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO HAVE IT IS TO RECEIVE IT.
- 00:22:26.201 --> 00:22:28.603
- AND THE BIBLE SAYS THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE.
- 00:22:28.603 --> 00:22:31.406
- WE JUST HAVE TO RECEIVE IT.
- 00:22:31.406 --> 00:22:33.074
- BUT THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS MAN IS A SINNER.
- 00:22:33.074 --> 00:22:35.944
- WE'VE ALL SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
- 00:22:35.944 --> 00:22:38.213
- THERE'S NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE.
- 00:22:38.213 --> 00:22:40.315
- AND THAT SIN IS WHAT SEPARATES US FROM GOD.
- 00:22:40.315 --> 00:22:43.151
- AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS GOD'S A GOD OF LOVE.
- 00:22:43.151 --> 00:22:45.854
- HE DOESN'T WANT TO PUNISH US FOR OUR SIN, BUT THE SAME
- 00:22:45.854 --> 00:22:48.457
- BIBLE SAYS A GOD OF JUSTICE MUST PUNISH SIN, SO THAT'S
- 00:22:48.457 --> 00:22:55.497
- WHERE JESUS COMES IN.
- 00:22:55.497 --> 00:22:57.866
- JESUS IS THE INFINITE SIN BEARER, THE SON OF GOD WHO
- 00:22:57.866 --> 00:23:02.871
- CAME, CLOTHED HIMSELF IN HUMAN FLESH, WENT TO THE
- 00:23:02.871 --> 00:23:05.640
- CROSS, AND ALL WE, LIKE SHEEP, HAD GONE ASTRAY.
- 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.743
- WE TURNED EVERY ONE TO OUR OWN WAY, AND GOD LAID ON
- 00:23:08.743 --> 00:23:12.547
- JESUS THE SINS OF US ALL.
- 00:23:12.547 --> 00:23:16.117
- BUT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW ALL OF THAT.
- 00:23:16.117 --> 00:23:18.520
- DO YOU KNOW THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE DEVIL KNOWS
- 00:23:18.520 --> 00:23:21.156
- ALL OF THAT, AND THE DEVIL BELIEVES THAT AND TREMBLES.
- 00:23:21.156 --> 00:23:24.493
- IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW ALL OF THAT BECAUSE FAITH IS THE
- 00:23:24.493 --> 00:23:28.396
- KEY THAT OPENS THE DOOR.
- 00:23:28.396 --> 00:23:31.233
- THE BIBLE SAYS, "FOR BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED THROUGH
- 00:23:31.233 --> 00:23:34.803
- FAITH AND FAITH ALONE.
- 00:23:34.803 --> 00:23:36.838
- IT'S THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANYONE SHOULD
- 00:23:36.838 --> 00:23:41.409
- BOAST, FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP CREATED IN
- 00:23:41.409 --> 00:23:45.614
- CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS." SO COMING TO KNOW
- 00:23:45.614 --> 00:23:49.918
- JESUS CHRIST IS AS SIMPLE AS PUTTING YOUR FAITH AND TRUST
- 00:23:49.918 --> 00:23:53.522
- IN HIM ALONE.
- 00:23:53.522 --> 00:23:55.390
- MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN TRUSTING IN YOUR OWN MERIT,
- 00:23:55.390 --> 00:23:57.459
- YOUR OWN EFFORT.
- 00:23:57.459 --> 00:23:58.627
- MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN TRUSTING IN YOUR MOTHER'S FAITH OR
- 00:23:58.627 --> 00:24:01.296
- YOUR FATHER'S FAITH. MAYBE YOU KNOW SOMEBODY.
- 00:24:01.296 --> 00:24:03.365
- IT'S SO, SO IMPORTANT THAT IT'S JUST BETWEEN YOU AND CHRIST.
- 00:24:03.365 --> 00:24:09.638
- AND RIGHT NOW, HE SAID, I STAND AT THE DOOR KNOCK, AND
- 00:24:09.638 --> 00:24:13.008
- IF YOU'LL HEAR MY VOICE OPEN THE DOOR, AND I'LL COME IN.
- 00:24:13.008 --> 00:24:15.143
- HE'S KNOCKING ON YOUR HEART.
- 00:24:15.143 --> 00:24:17.345
- AND YOU KNOW, IF I'D COME TO YOUR HOME AND KNOCKED ON THE
- 00:24:17.345 --> 00:24:18.847
- DOOR, I WOULDN'T BARGE INTO YOUR HOUSE.
- 00:24:18.847 --> 00:24:20.549
- BUT IF YOU CAME OPENED THE DOOR AND INVITED
- 00:24:20.549 --> 00:24:21.950
- ME IN, I'D COME.
- 00:24:21.950 --> 00:24:23.318
- CHRIST WON'T BARGE INTO YOUR LIFE, BUT HE'S KNOCKING, AND
- 00:24:23.318 --> 00:24:26.621
- IF YOU'LL OPEN THE DOOR AND SAY "COME IN", HE'LL DO IT.
- 00:24:26.621 --> 00:24:29.724
- AND THE BIBLE SAYS WHOEVER SHALL CALL ON THE NAME OF
- 00:24:29.724 --> 00:24:32.861
- THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.
- 00:24:32.861 --> 00:24:34.563
- SO I WANT THE PRIVILEGE RIGHT NOW JUST TO LEAD YOU
- 00:24:34.563 --> 00:24:37.032
- IN THIS PRAYER TO ASK JESUS TO COME INTO
- 00:24:37.032 --> 00:24:40.335
- YOUR HEART BY FAITH.
- 00:24:40.335 --> 00:24:42.504
- JUST SAY DEAR LORD JESUS --WHEREVER YOU ARE RIGHT
- 00:24:42.504 --> 00:24:44.339
- NOW, JUST SAY DEAR LORD JESUS, THANK YOU FOR DYING
- 00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:47.475
