HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHERE GOD

WAS WHEN YOU NEEDED HIM THE
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.280
MOST, LOOK AT THIS TESTIMONY.
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.080
- I WAS ABUSED AND A MOLESTED
00:01:50.130 --> 00:01:53.130
FROM AGE OF FOUR TO ALMOST THE
00:01:53.130 --> 00:01:54.180
AGE OF 12.
00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:55.150
BY THE TIME I WAS AGE OF 13, I
00:01:57.010 --> 00:02:00.030
WIND UP GETTING PREGNANT AND
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:01.200
HAVE A CHILD RIPPED RIGHT FROM
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.230
MY WOMB.
00:02:03.020 --> 00:02:06.020
AND MY MINDSET AT THAT TIME IS
00:02:06.020 --> 00:02:08.200
NO ONE WILL HURT ME.
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:10.070
NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO TOUCH ME
00:02:10.070 --> 00:02:13.000
INSIDE ANYMORE.
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.080
I ENTERED PROSTITUTION VERY HARD
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.160
AT A YOUNG AGE.
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:18.110
SO I WENT DANCING AT THIS
00:02:18.110 --> 00:02:19.190
PARTICULAR CLUB.
00:02:20.290 --> 00:02:23.290
WHEN I WOULD DANCE IT WASN'T
00:02:23.290 --> 00:02:25.210
ABOUT THE PEOPLE AROUND ME.
00:02:25.210 --> 00:02:26.210
IT WASN'T ABOUT THE MEN.
00:02:26.210 --> 00:02:28.120
I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER THEIR
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:29.160
FACES.
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:32.030
I IDENTIFIED MYSELF AS A WOMAN
00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:33.180
THAT ONLY HAD ONE THING TO GIVE
00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:35.020
AND THAT WAS MY BODY.
00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:37.170
SO RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET WAS
00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:39.160
THIS MAN HE WAS PREACHING THE
00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:40.080
GOSPEL.
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.070
AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
00:02:41.070 --> 00:02:43.050
IT WAS.
00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:44.110
HE KEPT ON SAYING GOD GOT SOME
00:02:44.110 --> 00:02:47.040
WATER IF YOU TAKE ONE SIP OF IT
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:49.090
YOU'LL NOT THIRST AGAIN.
00:02:49.090 --> 00:02:50.080
ALL I KNOW I WAS IRRITATED BY
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.120
HIS VOICE BECAUSE HIS VOICE WAS
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.210
CAUSING WHATEVER WAS INSIDE OF
00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:56.090
ME TO BE IRRITATED.
00:02:57.070 --> 00:03:00.090
SO I FOUND MYSELF THIS
00:03:00.130 --> 00:03:03.130
PARTICULAR DAY WRAPPING MYSELF
00:03:03.130 --> 00:03:04.120
UP IN A COAT AND WENT ACROSS THE
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.030
STREET.
00:03:06.150 --> 00:03:09.150
I FOUND MYSELF OPEN MY COAT UP
00:03:09.150 --> 00:03:11.120
AND LOOKED HIM IN HIS FACE,
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.190
AND...
00:03:16.070 --> 00:03:19.070
LOOKED AT ME NOWHERE IN MY BODY,
00:03:19.070 --> 00:03:21.290
HE LOOKED ME STRAIGHT IN MY EYES
00:03:21.290 --> 00:03:24.270
AND SAID GOD'S GOT SOME WATER.
00:03:24.270 --> 00:03:27.180
HE PROMISED YOU WOULD NEVER
00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:28.280
THIRST AGAIN.
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.090
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS GOD
00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:32.150
AND THIS MAN THEY'RE TALKING
00:03:32.150 --> 00:03:33.060
ABOUT.
00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:34.230
I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT HE WAS
00:03:34.230 --> 00:03:35.270
SAYING AT ALL.
00:03:35.270 --> 00:03:37.040
TF FOREIGN TO ME.
00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:41.040
BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME I FELT
00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:42.150
SOMETHING.
00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:43.160
I WAS TIRED OF LIVING THE WAY I
00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:44.220
WAS LIVING.
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.280
AND I ASKED THE GOD I KNEW
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.060
NOTHING OF, THE GOD I DIDN'T
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.080
EVEN KNOW HIS NAME, FOR THE
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.170
WATER.
00:03:57.170 --> 00:03:59.290
ALL I KNOW IS IT WASN'T LONG
00:03:59.290 --> 00:04:01.240
AFTER THAT I ASKED FOR THIS
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000
WATER,...
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.060
THE FIRST TIME I SPEAK TO THIS
00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:11.050
GOD, THE FIRST TIME I SPEAK TO
00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:15.030

00:04:15.030 --> 00:04:16.200
CHANGE MY LIFE WOUND ME UP BEING
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:17.220

00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:18.280
I BEGAN TO BE ANGRY ALL OVER
00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:20.010
AGAIN.
00:04:23.090 --> 00:04:26.090
I WIND UP BEING IN THIS ROOM
00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:31.100
WITH THIS WOMAN THAT WAS KNOWN
00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:32.210
TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT GOD.
00:04:32.210 --> 00:04:33.250
I SAID YOU TALK ABOUT THIS GOD.
00:04:33.250 --> 00:04:36.110
YOU TALK ABOUT JESUS BUT YOU
00:04:36.110 --> 00:04:37.230
DON'T SHARE HIM WITH ME.
00:04:37.230 --> 00:04:39.250
AND TO MY SURPRISE, SHE SAID
00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:42.120
HE'S TOO PRECIOUS TO ME.
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.160
HE'S DONE TOO MUCH FOR ME.
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.080
BUT WHEN YOU GET READY TO HEAR
00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:48.130
AND KNOW HIM, YOU CAN ASK ME AND
00:04:48.130 --> 00:04:50.120
I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT HIM.
00:04:53.130 --> 00:04:56.130
WELL IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THAT
00:04:56.130 --> 00:04:58.250
THAT SHE ASKED ME TO GO TO
00:04:58.250 --> 00:05:00.100
CHURCH WITH HER.
00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:01.170
AND WHEN I WENT THAT NIGHT, THE
00:05:01.270 --> 00:05:04.270
MAN AT CHURCH WAS SPEAKING ON
00:05:04.270 --> 00:05:07.210
JOHN FOUR THAT GOD'S GOT WATER.
00:05:07.210 --> 00:05:09.230

00:05:09.230 --> 00:05:12.160
IT YOU WOULDN'T THIRST NO MORE.
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:17.170
AND IT WAS THAT DAY THAT MY LIFE
00:05:17.170 --> 00:05:20.010
BEGAN TO CHANGE.
00:05:20.070 --> 00:05:23.070
TRANSFORM.
00:05:23.070 --> 00:05:24.170
THAT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST
00:05:24.170 --> 00:05:26.170
THINGS FOR A PERSON THAT WENT
00:05:26.170 --> 00:05:28.210
THROUGH WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH.
00:05:28.210 --> 00:05:30.240
ALLOWING SOMEONE TO COME INTO
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.280
YOUR HEART.
00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:33.150
GOD DOESN'T WANT TO COME INTO
00:05:33.150 --> 00:05:35.210
YOUR HEAD.
00:05:35.210 --> 00:05:36.180
HE WANTS TO COME INTO YOUR
00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:37.170
HEART.
00:05:40.150 --> 00:05:43.150
BECAUSE OF MY ATTITUDE IN MY
00:05:43.150 --> 00:05:45.200
INCARCERATION OF BEING SO FULL
00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:48.170
OF ANGER, PEOPLE INSTANTLY
00:05:48.170 --> 00:05:49.110
NOTICED THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE
00:05:49.110 --> 00:05:50.040
IN ME.
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.020
I WASN'T ANGRY ANYMORE.
00:05:52.020 --> 00:05:53.240
AND I BEGAN TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.040
THAT WATER.
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.220
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:02.090
TBN SECOND CHANCE PLAYED A BIG
00:06:02.090 --> 00:06:03.290
PART IN MY LIFE.
00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:05.250
IT GAVE ME A DIFFERENT ASPECT
00:06:05.250 --> 00:06:08.000
AND VIEW WHAT GOD CAN DO AND LET
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.140
ME KNOW PRISON WASN'T THE END.
00:06:10.140 --> 00:06:12.180

00:06:16.260 --> 00:06:19.070
TO POUR OUT THE POTTER'S HOUSE
00:06:19.070 --> 00:06:21.160
THE WORD HE SPOKE JUST MINISTRY
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.260
ALONE WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME HOPE
00:06:25.090 --> 00:06:28.090
BECAUSE HE REMINDED US OVER AND
00:06:28.090 --> 00:06:30.140
OVER AGAIN GOD PUT CLAY IN HIS
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:32.130
HAND AND HE CAN REMAKE IT AND
00:06:32.130 --> 00:06:33.240
REMOLD IT.
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.260
TBN WAS A LIFELINE BEHIND THE

WALLS.
00:06:36.250 --> 00:06:37.250
IT WAS LIKE THE DAILY BREAD.
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.040
WHEN I WAS RELEASED OUT OF
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:42.280

I FELT FULL CIRCLE.
00:06:52.190 --> 00:06:54.120
SOMETIMES THING CAN HAPPEN IN
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.110
OUR LIVES AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE
00:06:56.110 --> 00:06:59.080
AND EVEN AT A LATER AGE YOU

BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU IF YOU
00:07:08.070 --> 00:07:10.060

YOUR HEART AND I KNOW IT'S A
00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:13.040
HARD THING.
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.100
BECAUSE YOUR HEART MAY HAVE BEEN
00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:16.010
BROKEN OVER AND OVER AND OVER

00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:37.070
DEALING WITH WOMEN THAT WERE
00:08:37.070 --> 00:08:38.290
TRAUMA BASED AND WENT THROUGH
00:08:38.290 --> 00:08:39.230
SITUATIONS I HAD.
00:08:39.230 --> 00:08:41.070
SINCE I WAS FREE THE FIRST FIVE
00:08:41.070 --> 00:08:43.040
MONTHS OF MY FREEDOM I WAS GOING
00:08:43.040 --> 00:08:44.280

HELPING THE PROGRAM I STARTED

WHILE I WAS INCARCERATED.
00:08:49.130 --> 00:08:50.280
AFTER THAT I STARTED WORKING FOR
00:08:52.040 --> 00:08:55.040

AS I WENT TO SHARE MY TESTIMONY
00:08:58.250 --> 00:09:00.260
THE HOLY SPIRIT OPENED A DOOR
00:09:00.260 --> 00:09:03.010

00:10:45.160 --> 00:10:46.070
HAPPENED?
00:10:46.070 --> 00:10:46.260

DRUG REHAB FACILITY.
00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:51.100

COMPLETELY CLEAN.

00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.170
LEFT US AND 11 OR 12 WHEN HE
00:11:09.170 --> 00:11:11.110
TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
00:11:11.110 --> 00:11:12.200
IT'S A CRASH COURSE IN OUR LIFE.
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.120
MY SISTERS AND I WERE ABUSED

SEXUALLY AS A CHILD IN THE

WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF TRAUMA
00:11:18.140 --> 00:11:20.080
AND DRAMA IN MY LIFE GROWING UP.
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.110
MY MOM WORKED TWO JOBS.
00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:23.270
IT WASN'T THAT SHE WASN'T THERE.
00:11:23.270 --> 00:11:25.030
SHE COULDN'T BE THERE.
00:11:25.030 --> 00:11:26.200
SHE WAS WORKING TO MAKE SURE WE

HAD A PLACE TO EAT AND A PLACE
00:11:28.130 --> 00:11:30.110

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.180
CARE OF US, WATCHED OVER US.
00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:37.090
CAME TLAU FOR ME.
00:11:37.090 --> 00:11:38.140
YOU KNOW , I SHOULD BE A
00:11:38.140 --> 00:11:39.270
STATISTIC.
00:11:39.270 --> 00:11:40.240
I SHOULD BE IN PRISON.

I SHOULD HAVE COUNTLESS CHILDREN

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ALL OVER

I OUGHT TO BE ADDICTED.
00:11:48.050 --> 00:11:49.280
I OUGHT TO BE STRUNG OUT.
00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:51.200
BUT GOD CAME IN AND MADE A WAY
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.140
FOR ME.

KNOW IN GALATIANS THAT'S TRUE.

HE WAS THE FRUIT OF THE ACTION,
00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:14.160
NOT THE SON OF FLESH.

14 YEARS OF AGE IMPORTANT TIME

FACING REJECTION AND
00:13:08.290 --> 00:13:09.160
ABANDONMENT.

00:13:22.180 --> 00:13:25.180
WITH ISHMAEL AS HE GREW AND HE
00:13:25.180 --> 00:13:27.280
WOULD MAKE HIM INTO SOMEONE
00:13:27.280 --> 00:13:28.190
GREAT.
00:13:28.190 --> 00:13:29.130
I FEEL LIKE ISHMAEL.
00:13:29.130 --> 00:13:31.010
I SHOULDN'T HAVE WHAT I HAVE.
00:13:31.010 --> 00:13:32.170
I CAME FROM POVERTY.

I CAME FROM FATHERLESSNESS.

OF NOTHING AND GAVE ME AND MADE
00:13:39.110 --> 00:13:40.160
ME SOMETHING.

GOD TOOK A MESS AND TURNED IT
00:13:41.260 --> 00:13:43.070
INTO A MIRACLE.

GOD TOOK THE STORY OF PAIN AND

- NO I'M FIRST GENERATION
00:14:20.250 --> 00:14:21.200

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.000
MY MOM WAS A STRUGGLING SINGLE
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.010
MOM.
00:14:24.010 --> 00:14:25.040
I REMEMBER MANY TIMES GOING TO
00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:27.040
MY MOTHER'S BEDROOM AND SHE WAS
00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:29.210
WEEPING AND CRYING WITH BILLS ON
00:14:29.210 --> 00:14:32.180
THAT DAY BACK THEN WATER BED
00:14:32.180 --> 00:14:34.200
CRYING OUT GOD HOW IN THE WORLD
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.060
WILL WE MAKE IT?
00:14:36.060 --> 00:14:37.220
NEVER FEELING LIKE I MEASURED
00:14:37.220 --> 00:14:38.170
UP.
00:14:38.170 --> 00:14:40.200
I BELIEVE ISHMAEL FOUGHT.
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.200
IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.000
ISHMAEL, THE ISHMAELITES TODAY
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.130
ARE SCREAMING FOR ATTENTION.
00:14:46.130 --> 00:14:47.260
SO I HAD TO FIGHT BECAUSE MY MOM
00:14:47.260 --> 00:14:50.050
WAS A SINGLE MOM AND SHE WAS
00:14:50.050 --> 00:14:51.170
FIGHTING AND TOGETHER WE WERE
00:14:53.130 --> 00:14:56.130
FIGHTING REJECTION AND
00:14:56.130 --> 00:14:57.050
ABANDONMENT ON DEEP LEVELS AND
00:14:57.050 --> 00:14:57.290
SCALES.

00:14:58.150 --> 00:14:59.140

- I HAD A HOLINESS PAYING GRAND

MA AND GRANDPA.
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.170
OLD SCHOOL HOLINESS.

- MOM OR DAD SIDE?
00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:07.270
- MOM'S SIDE.
00:15:07.270 --> 00:15:08.270
THEY LOVED JESUS.
00:15:08.270 --> 00:15:09.200
PRAYED ME THROUGH.
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.120
AND MADE SURE I WAS AT CHURCH ON
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.270
SUNDAYS UP UNTIL MY EARLY
00:15:13.270 --> 00:15:16.150
ADOLESCENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH
00:15:16.150 --> 00:15:17.090
TEENAGE YEARS.
00:15:17.090 --> 00:15:18.120
IF IT WASN'T FOR GRANDMA AND
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.060
GRANDPA I KNOW FOR A FACT I
00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:22.100
WOULDN'T BE SERVING JESUS TODAY.
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:23.190
- HOW OLD ARE YOU WHEN YOU COME

TO KNOW JESUS?
00:15:25.110 --> 00:15:26.100
- I WAS A CHILD.
00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:28.100
THANKS TO GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.
00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:30.130
NEVER SURRENDER UNTIL I'M 18
00:15:30.130 --> 00:15:31.140
YEARS OLD.
00:15:31.140 --> 00:15:33.290
1985.
00:15:33.290 --> 00:15:35.220
- WITH THE LINEAGE AND STORIES
00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:36.290
THAT TOOK PLACE IN YOUR FAMILY,
00:15:36.290 --> 00:15:39.200
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN TESTIMONIES.
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.290
- FOR SURE.
00:15:40.290 --> 00:15:42.040
- TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
00:15:43.180 --> 00:15:46.180
- 1995 JULY 20 I HAD A RADICAL
00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:49.220
CONVERSION WITH JESUS.
00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:50.160
I CRIED OUT IF YOU WANT TO USE
00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:52.100
ME I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO
00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:53.150
DO.
00:15:53.150 --> 00:15:54.120
I WAS WITH A YOUTH EVANGELIST
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:57.050
DOING MAJOR CRUSADES ALL OVER
00:15:57.050 --> 00:15:58.000
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.210
FROM THEN UNTIL NOW I PREACHED
00:15:59.210 --> 00:16:01.040
TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
00:16:01.040 --> 00:16:02.140
PEOPLE SEEN PEOPLE FILLED WITH
00:16:02.140 --> 00:16:04.010
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND REDEDICATE
00:16:04.010 --> 00:16:04.250
THEIR LIFE.
00:16:04.250 --> 00:16:06.040
AND I'M ON A MISSION, PASTOR
00:16:06.040 --> 00:16:08.220
TONY AND THAT'S TO BREAK POWER
00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:11.080
OF ABANDONMENT AND REJECTION ON
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.040
A GENERATION.
00:16:12.040 --> 00:16:13.290
I BELIEVE PEOPLE CAN OVERCOME
00:16:13.290 --> 00:16:15.010
REJECTION.
00:16:15.010 --> 00:16:16.020
I BELIEVE PEOPLE CAN OVERCOME
00:16:16.020 --> 00:16:17.130
ABANDONMENT.
00:16:18.190 --> 00:16:21.190
I'VE BEEN RAISED IN ENVIRONMENTS
00:16:21.190 --> 00:16:23.120
WHERE WE'VE BEEN REJECTED AND
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.050
WE'VE BEEN ABANDONED AND PEOPLE
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.080
HAVE EXITED OUR LIFE.
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.070
A FATHER SHOULD BE THERE TO
00:16:29.070 --> 00:16:30.250
EMPOWER US AND SPEAK LIFE TO US.
00:16:30.250 --> 00:16:32.160
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, YOU
00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:33.290
LEAN ON OTHER THINGS.
00:16:33.290 --> 00:16:36.000
IT'S EVEN AFFECTED ME AS A MAN
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.050
OF GOD.
00:16:37.050 --> 00:16:39.040
I'LL WALK INTO ROOMS BEFORE I
00:16:39.040 --> 00:16:40.270
REALLY GOT DELIVERED FROM THIS
00:16:40.270 --> 00:16:41.220
THING.
00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:42.130
I WOULD WALK INTO ROOMS AND FEEL
00:16:42.130 --> 00:16:44.000
I WAS THE ONE STANDING IN THE
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.050
CORNER HOLDING UP THE WALL
00:16:46.050 --> 00:16:47.100
BECAUSE I FELT I NEVER REALLY
00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:48.280
BELONGED ANYWHERE.
00:16:48.280 --> 00:16:50.060
- AND BRIAN, IF I'M NOT WRONG,
00:16:50.110 --> 00:16:53.110
NOT WHILE YOU WERE MINISTERING,
00:16:53.110 --> 00:16:54.280
BUT THIS AFFECTED YOU EVEN TO
00:16:54.280 --> 00:16:56.140
THE POINT YOU THOUGHT YOUR LIFE
00:16:56.140 --> 00:16:58.290
WAS WORTHLESS.
00:16:58.290 --> 00:16:59.170
- MOST DEFINITELY.
00:16:59.170 --> 00:17:00.290
WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD BEFORE I
00:17:00.290 --> 00:17:03.090
HAD THIS RADICAL ENCOUNTER WITH
00:17:03.090 --> 00:17:04.210
JESUS, I WENT TO MY
00:17:05.290 --> 00:17:08.290
GRANDPARENT'S BASEMENT AND
00:17:08.290 --> 00:17:10.090
GRABBED MY GRANDFATHER'S GUN OUT
00:17:10.090 --> 00:17:12.070
OF HIS CABINET AND WENT TO THE
00:17:12.070 --> 00:17:14.180
BASEMENT AND LOADED THE SHOTGUN
00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:17.040
AND GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE AND
00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:20.120
END MY LIFE.
00:17:20.120 --> 00:17:21.280
IF YOU KNOW ABOUT GUNS, GUNS
00:17:21.280 --> 00:17:24.050
MISFIRE FROM TIME TO TIME BUT
00:17:24.050 --> 00:17:26.080
NEVER MISFIRE TWICE IN A ROW AND
00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:28.170
PASTOR TONY THE GUN I PICKED UP,
00:17:28.170 --> 00:17:31.110
IT WAS...
00:17:31.110 --> 00:17:33.070
THAT THING MISS FIRED TWO
00:17:33.070 --> 00:17:34.140
DIFFERENT TIMES.
00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:35.170
I FELT THE PRESENCE OF GOD INTO
00:17:35.170 --> 00:17:36.230
THAT ROOM.
00:17:36.230 --> 00:17:37.220
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:39.080
HAUNTED ME AS I WAS GROWING UP,
00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:41.070
I NEVER HEARD MY FATHER SAY TO
00:17:41.070 --> 00:17:42.240
ME THINGS THAT ARE COMMON YOU
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.160
MAY NOT UNDERSTAND UNLESS YOU
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.220
NEVER HAD THEM.
00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:46.250
I NEVER HAD A DAY SAY TO ME, I
00:17:46.250 --> 00:17:48.290
LOVE YOU, I'M PROUD OF YOU.
00:17:48.290 --> 00:17:50.280
I SEE YOU.
00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:52.030
THAT DAY I FELT THE PRESENCE OF
00:17:52.190 --> 00:17:55.190
GOD ENTER MY GRANDPARENT'S
00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:56.120
BASEMENT I FELT THE PRESENCE OF
00:17:56.120 --> 00:17:58.040
GOD LIKE HE WAS AFFIRMING ME
00:17:58.040 --> 00:17:59.210
SAYING I LOVE YOU, I AFFIRM YOU,
00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:01.150
I VALUE YOU.
00:18:01.150 --> 00:18:02.260
AND THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE IN
00:18:03.230 --> 00:18:06.230
THIS GENERATION, EVEN YOU
00:18:06.230 --> 00:18:08.040
WATCHING RIGHT NOW ON
00:18:08.040 --> 00:18:09.020
TELEVISION, THERE'S SO MANY
00:18:09.020 --> 00:18:10.130
PEOPLE IN THIS GENERATION
00:18:10.130 --> 00:18:11.030
WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
00:18:11.030 --> 00:18:12.040
YOU MAY BE A SINGLE MOM.
00:18:12.040 --> 00:18:14.140
MAYBE A CHILD RAISED WITHOUT HER
00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:19.120
OR HIS DADDY AND YOU CAN FEEL
00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:20.090
IT.
00:18:20.090 --> 00:18:21.030
IT BREAKS YOUR HEART.
00:18:21.030 --> 00:18:22.080
I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS TO HAVE A
00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:23.130
BROKEN HEART.
00:18:23.130 --> 00:18:24.130
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU LIKE
00:18:24.130 --> 00:18:26.000
HE'S A GOOD, GOOD FATHER.
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:27.110
HE'S A GOOD DAD.
00:18:27.110 --> 00:18:29.080
HE WILL AFFIRM YOU AND PAY CHILD
00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:34.220
SUPPORT AND GIVE DIVIDENDS AND
00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:36.010
MAKE A WAY WHERE THERE IS NO
00:18:36.010 --> 00:18:37.060
WAY.
00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:40.030
- PASTOR BRIAN, ABOUT A MINUTE
00:18:40.030 --> 00:18:41.030
AND A HALF I WANT YOU TO PRAY.
00:18:41.030 --> 00:18:42.130
I WANT I DON'T--I WANT YOU TO
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.240
PRAY CONDEMNATION AND INSECURITY
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.180
OFF PEOPLE.
00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:52.090
THE FIRST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN
00:18:52.090 --> 00:18:53.150
WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN.
00:18:53.150 --> 00:18:54.190
THE FIRST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN
00:18:54.190 --> 00:18:55.240
IS THE FATHER WILL SEE YOU AND
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.100
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS HE
00:18:58.100 --> 00:18:59.120
AFFIRMS YOU.
00:18:59.120 --> 00:19:01.160
WELL DONE FAITHFUL SERVANT.
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:03.130
I'M SO THANKFUL TODAY THAT WE
00:19:03.130 --> 00:19:04.260
HAVE A FATHER IN HEAVEN THAT
00:19:04.260 --> 00:19:06.240
AFFIRMS US, THAT BELIEVES IN US,
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.270
THAT LOVES US, LOVES US, LOVES
00:19:08.270 --> 00:19:10.200
WHAT'S IN US AND WHAT'S COMING
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.160
THROUGH US.
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.170
I WANT YOU TO MINISTER TO SOME
00:19:12.170 --> 00:19:14.280
PEOPLE AND SPEAK THAT LOVE AS A
00:19:14.280 --> 00:19:17.080
SPIRITUAL FATHER AND ENCOURAGE
00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:18.020
SOMEONE.
00:19:18.020 --> 00:19:19.150
- FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
00:19:19.150 --> 00:19:21.040
WE COME BEFORE YOU TODAY AND
00:19:21.040 --> 00:19:23.090
GOD, I LIFT UP THAT CHILD.
00:19:23.090 --> 00:19:25.000
MAYBE 40 YEARS OLD.
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.120
I LIFT UP THE CHILD TO YOU
00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:29.040
THAT'S PRAYED INSIDE THEIR HEART
00:19:29.040 --> 00:19:31.010
FOR THEIR DADDY TO SEE THEM.
00:19:31.010 --> 00:19:32.070
I PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS YOU
00:19:32.070 --> 00:19:33.290
BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED THAT
00:19:33.290 --> 00:19:35.100
YOU WOULD BE LIKE OINTMENT TO
00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:36.210
THEIR BROKEN HEART.
00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:38.010
I PRAY FOR THE SINGLE MOTHER WHO
00:19:38.040 --> 00:19:41.040
IS FIGHTING REJECTION,
00:19:41.040 --> 00:19:42.040
INSECURITY AND ABANDONMENT.
00:19:42.040 --> 00:19:43.260
I PRAY TODAY YOU BIND UP HER
00:19:43.260 --> 00:19:44.280
HEART.
00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:46.290
I PRAY YOU WOULD EMPOWER THOSE
00:19:46.290 --> 00:19:48.130
WATCHING TODAY AND YOU WOULD
00:19:48.130 --> 00:19:49.270
GIVE THEM VICTORY TO OVERCOME
00:19:49.270 --> 00:19:51.190
EVERY OBSTACLE.
00:19:51.190 --> 00:19:52.180
THEY CAN REACH BACK IN THEIR
00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:54.230
LIFE AND OVERCOME DAY AFTER DAY.
00:19:54.230 --> 00:19:56.030
IF YOU DID IT FOR THE GUY ON TV
00:19:56.030 --> 00:19:58.020
I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT FOR ME.
00:19:58.020 --> 00:19:59.290
RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME,
00:19:59.290 --> 00:20:01.110
STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND AND HEAL
00:20:01.110 --> 00:20:02.280
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING TODAY.
00:20:02.280 --> 00:20:04.080
IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS, I
00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:06.060
PRAY, AMEN.
00:20:11.060 --> 00:20:14.060
- NOW IF YOU THOUGHT IT
00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:16.070
COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN
00:20:16.280 --> 00:20:19.280
GEORGIA AND BRIAN GALLARDO DON'T
00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:21.100
CHANGE THE STATION.
00:20:21.100 --> 00:20:22.240
TELL THEM TO TUNE IN RIGHT NOW.
00:20:22.280 --> 00:20:25.280
MY NEXT GUEST IS JONATHAN
00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:26.270
MILLER.
00:20:26.270 --> 00:20:28.010
YOU'VE GOT TO HEAR THIS
00:20:28.010 --> 00:20:28.200
TESTIMONY.
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:29.060
WATCH THIS VIDEO.
00:20:29.060 --> 00:20:31.060
- I WAS BORN VERY THANKFULLY AS
00:20:31.060 --> 00:20:33.210
A CHILD OF TWO PASTORS.
00:20:33.210 --> 00:20:35.060
MY MOM AND DAD WERE BOTH IN THE
00:20:35.060 --> 00:20:36.090
MINISTRY.
00:20:36.090 --> 00:20:37.100
BUT THEN AT THE AGE OF 12,
00:20:37.210 --> 00:20:40.210
EVERYTHING TOOK A DRASTIC TURN.
00:20:40.210 --> 00:20:42.180
I FOUND OUT THAT MY FATHER WAS
00:20:42.290 --> 00:20:45.290
INVOLVED WITH ADULTEROUS
00:20:45.290 --> 00:20:46.220
RELATIONSHIPS WITH A FEW WOMEN
00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:48.130
INSIDE THE CONGREGATION.
00:20:48.130 --> 00:20:50.230
MY MOTHER, AS ANYONE CAN
00:20:50.230 --> 00:20:52.210
IMAGINE, WAS DEVASTATED.
00:20:52.210 --> 00:20:53.190
SHE WAS HURT.
00:20:53.190 --> 00:20:55.070
SHE WAS BETRAYED AND HE WAS
00:20:55.070 --> 00:20:56.250
READY TO PUT AN END TO THE
00:20:56.250 --> 00:20:57.190
MARRIAGE.
00:20:57.190 --> 00:20:58.220
SHE WANTED OUT OF THE MARRIAGE.
00:20:58.220 --> 00:21:00.220
WHEN SHE FOUND OUT WHAT HAD
00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:03.080
HAPPENED, SHE NEVER FELT THE
00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:04.260
HAND OF GOD RELEASE HER FROM
00:21:05.040 --> 00:21:08.040
BEING MARRIED FROM MY FATHER.
00:21:08.040 --> 00:21:10.080
SO SHE LOOKED TO HIS LIFE TO SEE
00:21:10.170 --> 00:21:13.170
FRUIT FOR REPENTANCE AND SHE
00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:15.050
BELIEVED MY FATHER TRULY DID
00:21:15.050 --> 00:21:16.150
REPENT AND CHOSE TO GIVE THEIR
00:21:16.150 --> 00:21:17.290
MARRIAGE A SECOND CHANCE.
00:21:17.290 --> 00:21:19.060
WE WERE EXCITED BECAUSE WE WERE
00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:20.180
FEELING LIKE WE WERE WELL ON OUR
00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:22.050
WAY TO BE RESTORED.
00:21:22.050 --> 00:21:23.250
IF I CAN BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT
00:21:23.250 --> 00:21:26.010
WAS AT THE MOMENT THAT MY MOTHER
00:21:26.010 --> 00:21:28.040
AND FATHER MADE IT PUBLIC THEY
00:21:28.130 --> 00:21:31.130
WERE GOING TO SEEK RESTORATION
00:21:31.130 --> 00:21:32.190
IF THEIR MARRIAGE THAT THE TIDE
00:21:32.190 --> 00:21:34.010
BEGAN TO TURN.
00:21:34.010 --> 00:21:36.270
AN WITHIN A MATTER OF MONTHS OUR
00:21:36.270 --> 00:21:39.250
FAMILY WAS PULLED INTO A COURT
00:21:39.250 --> 00:21:41.100
BATTLE OF A LIFETIME.
00:21:41.100 --> 00:21:43.160
SO WE BASICALLY SAT BY FOR TWO
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.150
WEEKS OF THE TRIAL AND THOUGHT
00:21:45.150 --> 00:21:48.140
IT WILL RUN ITS COURSE AND WE'LL
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:49.270
MOVE ON.
00:21:49.270 --> 00:21:50.230
MUCH TO OUR SHOCK AND SURPRISE,
00:21:50.230 --> 00:21:53.020
MY FATHER WAS FOUND GUILTY.
00:21:53.020 --> 00:21:55.000
AFTER FIVE AND A HALF YEARS OF
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.000
INCARCERATION HE WENT UP FOR HIS
00:21:58.120 --> 00:22:01.140
FIRST PATROL BOARD REVIEW AND
00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:03.030
THEY GAVE HIM EXTRA TEN YEARS
00:22:03.030 --> 00:22:05.240
AFTER 17 YEARS OF THIS BATTLE.
00:22:06.250 --> 00:22:09.250
MY FAMILY HAD ABSOLUTELY NO
00:22:09.250 --> 00:22:10.220
FIGHT LEFT.
00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:13.050
THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER 2010,
00:22:13.050 --> 00:22:15.150
I WAS WITH A VERY WELL KNOWN
00:22:15.150 --> 00:22:17.100
CHRISTIAN LEADER.
00:22:17.100 --> 00:22:18.060
WE WERE DOING A NIGHT OF
00:22:18.060 --> 00:22:19.050
MINISTRY TOGETHER.
00:22:19.050 --> 00:22:20.160
AND AT THE CONCLUSION OF THAT
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.140
NIGHT OF MINISTRY, THIS FRIEND
00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:24.190
CAME UP AND PUT INTO MY HANDS
00:22:24.190 --> 00:22:26.220
TWO PRAYER CLOTHS.
00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:28.100
AND HE SAID, THIS PRAYER CLOTH
00:22:28.100 --> 00:22:30.040
IS FOR YOU JONATHAN AND THE
00:22:30.040 --> 00:22:31.260
SECOND PRAYER CLOTH IS FOR YOUR
00:22:31.260 --> 00:22:32.270
FATHER.
00:22:32.270 --> 00:22:34.050
HE WAS VERY WELL AWARE OF OUR
00:22:34.050 --> 00:22:35.140
SITUATION.
00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:36.260
AND HE SAID, I WANT YOU TO TAKE
00:22:36.260 --> 00:22:39.190
THIS SECOND PRAYER CLOTH AND I
00:22:39.190 --> 00:22:40.240
WANT YOU TO PUT IT IN YOUR
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.290
FATHER'S HANDS THE DAY HE WALKS
00:22:42.290 --> 00:22:44.090
OUT OF THAT PRISON AS A FREE
00:22:44.090 --> 00:22:45.170
MAN.
00:22:45.170 --> 00:22:47.280
HE THEN WENT ON TO EXPLAIN TO ME
00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:50.210
THAT PASTOR ROD PARSLEY WAS
00:22:50.210 --> 00:22:51.270
GOING TO BE HAVING A SERVICE
00:22:51.270 --> 00:22:54.100
WHERE HE WAS GOING TO BE COMING
00:22:54.100 --> 00:22:56.220
INTO AGREEMENT THAT EVERY ONE
00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:58.090
WHO HAD A PRAYER CLOTH AND HE
00:22:58.090 --> 00:23:00.270
WAS GOING TO BELIEVING GOD THAT
00:23:00.270 --> 00:23:02.130
THE PROBLEMS WE HAD IN 2010
00:23:03.250 --> 00:23:06.250
WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO CROSS
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.160
OVER TO 2011.
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.100
WHEN I WAS PRAYING IN MY OFFICE
00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:14.200
WITH THE PRAYER CLOTH IN MY HAND
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:16.010
THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE TO ME AND
00:23:16.010 --> 00:23:18.060
SAID, IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE I'M
00:23:18.060 --> 00:23:19.230
GOING TO DO THIS, TELL THE
00:23:19.230 --> 00:23:20.160
CHURCH.
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:21.090
I'LL NEVER FORGET THIS.
00:23:21.090 --> 00:23:22.260
WEDNESDAY NIGHT I WALKED INTO
00:23:22.260 --> 00:23:24.240
THE CHURCH WITH QUIVERING VOICE
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.100
AND TREMBLING KNEES, ME AND
00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:28.270
JESUS AND MY PRAYER CLOTH I SAID
00:23:28.270 --> 00:23:31.230
TO THE CHURCH AT NEW YEAR'S EVE
00:23:31.230 --> 00:23:33.280
AT OUR SERVICE I'LL STAND BEFORE
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.000
YOU AND TELL YOU THAT MY FATHER
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.110
IS GOING TO BE RELEASED FROM
00:23:39.110 --> 00:23:40.080
PRISON.
00:23:40.080 --> 00:23:41.210
SEVEN DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A
00:23:41.210 --> 00:23:43.020
PHONE CALL.
00:23:43.020 --> 00:23:44.290
THEY GAVE ME A LINK TO A
00:23:44.290 --> 00:23:46.170
WEBSITE.
00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:47.280
IT WAS THE GOVERNOR'S WEBSITE.
00:23:47.280 --> 00:23:49.020
THEY SAID GO TO THE LINK RIGHT
00:23:49.020 --> 00:23:50.050
AWAY.
00:23:50.050 --> 00:23:52.100
I TYPED IN THE LINK AND WENT TO
00:23:52.100 --> 00:23:53.080
IT.
00:23:53.080 --> 00:23:55.010
GOVERNOR'S WEBSITE PULLED UP.
00:23:55.010 --> 00:23:57.110
I SAW MY FATHER'S NAME DONALD...
00:23:58.220 --> 00:24:01.240
AND UNDERNEATH HIS NAME I READ
00:24:02.170 --> 00:24:05.170
THE WORDS EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
00:24:05.170 --> 00:24:06.200
I CALLED HOME.
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:09.170
AND HIS RESPONSE TO ME WAS, DAD,
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.240
YOU...
00:24:14.260 --> 00:24:17.260
I WAS SITTING ON THE TELEPHONE
00:24:17.260 --> 00:24:20.090
BROKE INTO TEARS.
00:24:21.230 --> 00:24:24.230
IT WAS FINALLY OVER.
00:24:24.230 --> 00:24:26.290
SOMETHING I WAITED TO HEAR FOR
00:24:26.290 --> 00:24:29.120
17 YEARS.
00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:30.190
- YOU KNOW IT'S ONE THING TO
00:24:30.190 --> 00:24:32.020
PREACH WHAT YOU BELIEVE GOD WILL
00:24:32.020 --> 00:24:32.290
DO.
00:24:32.290 --> 00:24:34.100
IT'S ANOTHER THING TO PREACH
00:24:34.100 --> 00:24:35.150
WHAT YOU'VE SEEN GOD DO.
00:24:35.150 --> 00:24:38.030
AND I NOW HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF
00:24:38.030 --> 00:24:40.060
ACTUALLY SHARING A TESTIMONY.
00:24:40.060 --> 00:24:41.100
THE TRAGEDY.
00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:43.130
WITH A BEAUTIFUL ENDING THAT
00:24:43.130 --> 00:24:45.030
ONLY GOD CAN BRING.
00:24:45.030 --> 00:24:47.140
- A MIRACLE.
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.200
CAME THROUGH THIS PRAYER CLOTH
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.070
RIGHT HERE.
00:24:54.070 --> 00:24:54.190
- ONLY GOD.
00:24:54.190 --> 00:24:55.020
[APPLAUDING].
00:24:55.020 --> 00:24:56.010
- ONLY GOD.
00:25:00.170 --> 00:25:03.170
- NOW BRIAN, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A
00:25:03.170 --> 00:25:04.150
FATHER.
00:25:04.150 --> 00:25:05.270
YOU HAD A FATHER BUT LOST HIM.
00:25:05.270 --> 00:25:08.070
AS A KID GROWING UP, DAD WAS MY
00:25:08.070 --> 00:25:09.200
HERO.
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:10.280
YOU SAW HE WAS A PASTOR.
00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:12.080
P. K..
00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:13.250
DAD WAS A GREAT PREACHER.
00:25:13.250 --> 00:25:14.250
A GREAT PASTOR.
00:25:14.250 --> 00:25:15.170
LOVED PEOPLE.
00:25:15.170 --> 00:25:17.150
BUT HE HAD A CHARACTER FLAW.
00:25:17.150 --> 00:25:20.020
HE HAD SOME MORAL FAILURES AS
00:25:20.020 --> 00:25:21.040
YOU SAW.
00:25:24.110 --> 00:25:27.110
I THINK SOMETIMES WE CAN LEARN
00:25:27.110 --> 00:25:29.290
WHAT OUR PARENTS DO AND WHAT
00:25:29.290 --> 00:25:31.140
THEY DO WRONG AND HOW THEY
00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:33.200
RESPOND TO THOSE THINGS.
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.150
I WATCHED MY DAD SERVE REALLY 18
00:25:35.150 --> 00:25:38.060
YEARS IN PRISON NEVER BLAMING
00:25:38.060 --> 00:25:39.010
ANYBODY.
00:25:39.010 --> 00:25:40.230
TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
00:25:40.230 --> 00:25:41.220
EVERYTHING HE HAD DONE.
00:25:42.010 --> 00:25:45.010
AND MAKING HIS HEALING AND
00:25:45.010 --> 00:25:46.240
FREEDOM FROM THOSE INSECURITIES
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.120
AND DYSFUNCTIONS THAT OPENED THE
00:25:48.120 --> 00:25:50.020
DOOR OF THE MORAL FAILURES FIRST
00:25:50.020 --> 00:25:52.080
AND FOREMOST PRIORITY.
00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:54.170
I LEARNED SITTING ACROSS FROM
00:25:54.170 --> 00:25:56.150
HIM AT VISITATION TABLE TWO BY
00:25:56.150 --> 00:25:59.020
TWO TABLE COUNTLESS TIMES, THE
00:25:59.020 --> 00:26:01.200
CHARACTER MATTERS MORE THAN
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:02.110
CALL.
00:26:02.110 --> 00:26:03.170
CHARACTER MATTERS MORE THAN OUR
00:26:03.170 --> 00:26:04.110
GIFT.
00:26:09.100 --> 00:26:12.100
RESTORE THE PRODIGAL SON WANTED
00:26:12.100 --> 00:26:14.030
THE FATHER'S BLESS BUT HE
00:26:14.030 --> 00:26:15.030
SQUANDERED IT.
00:26:15.030 --> 00:26:16.060
HE DIDN'T HAVE THE CHARACTER TO
00:26:16.060 --> 00:26:17.250
SUSTAIN THE WEIGHT OF THE
00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:19.160
FATHER'S BLESSING AND MY DAD HAD
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:21.240
AN INCREDIBLE GIFT.
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:24.120
HE HAD AN INCREDIBLE CALL.
00:26:24.120 --> 00:26:26.150
BUT HIS CHARACTER WASN'T STRONG
00:26:26.150 --> 00:26:28.140
ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN ALL THE
00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:30.240
SPOTLIGHT THAT CAME ALONG WITH
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:31.170
IT.
00:26:31.170 --> 00:26:33.150
HE TAUGHT ME PREACHING AT 17 NOW
00:26:36.030 --> 00:26:39.030
36 YEARS OLD CHARACTER MATTERS
00:26:39.030 --> 00:26:40.010
MORE THAN ANYTHING.
00:26:40.010 --> 00:26:41.020
I WANT TO FINISH IN THIS WELL.
00:26:41.020 --> 00:26:43.180
EVEN THOUGH HE MESSED UP AND
00:26:43.180 --> 00:26:46.100
MADE MISTAKES, HE'S MY HERO TO
00:26:46.100 --> 00:26:47.050
THIS DAY.
00:26:47.050 --> 00:26:48.140
I WATCHED HIM TAKE
00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:49.000
RESPONSIBILITY.
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.240
I WATCHED HIM RISE ABOVE IT.
00:26:53.260 --> 00:26:56.260
I'VE SEEN GOD BE FAITHFUL.
00:26:56.260 --> 00:26:58.240
I'VE SEEN HIM BE FAITHFUL.
00:26:59.140 --> 00:27:02.160
- WHEN DANIEL'S ACCUSERS WENT
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.070
AFTER HIM, HE'S FAITHFUL, HE'S
00:27:05.070 --> 00:27:07.120
TRUST WORTHY, A MAN OF
00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:09.160
CHARACTER, THE ONLY THING WE CAN
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.110
ATTACK IS HIS FAITH.
00:27:11.110 --> 00:27:14.100
I HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT OR
00:27:14.100 --> 00:27:17.080
PERFECT BUT MY HEART'S CRY, MY
00:27:17.080 --> 00:27:19.010
KIDS ARE WATCHING ME, O GOD, LET
00:27:19.010 --> 00:27:20.250
MY CHARACTER BE RIGHT.
00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:22.030
SO IF THE ENEMY IS GOING TO RISE
00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:25.120
UP AGAINST ME, THE ONLY THING
00:27:25.120 --> 00:27:27.050
HE'LL HAVE IS MY FAITH AND WE
00:27:27.050 --> 00:27:29.260
KNOW NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US
00:27:29.260 --> 00:27:31.100
CAN PROSPER.
00:27:31.100 --> 00:27:33.100
GOD DID AN AMAZING WORK OF
00:27:33.100 --> 00:27:34.180
RESTORATION IN YOUR FATHER.
00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:37.070
I VISITED ORLANDO A FEW MONTHS
00:27:37.070 --> 00:27:38.130
AGO AND I DIDN'T KNOW YOUR DAD
00:27:38.130 --> 00:27:39.180
WOULD BE THERE.
00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:40.100
IT WRECKED ME.
00:27:40.100 --> 00:27:42.200
MESSED ME UP IN A GOOD WAY.
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.080
I SAW THE LIVING BREATHING
00:27:45.080 --> 00:27:46.220
TESTIMONY IN FRONT OF ME.
00:27:46.220 --> 00:27:48.030
YOU SEE HIM EVERY DAY.
00:27:48.030 --> 00:27:48.210
- EVERY DAY.
00:27:48.210 --> 00:27:50.070
IT'S STILL SURREAL.
00:27:50.070 --> 00:27:51.240
I GREW UP IN NORTH WEST OHIO
00:27:51.280 --> 00:27:54.280
FALLING INTO A FROZEN LAKE WHEN
00:27:54.280 --> 00:27:56.150
YOU FALL THROUGH THE ICE IN THE
00:27:56.150 --> 00:27:58.190
WATER FOR SEVEN MINUTES YOU COME
00:27:58.190 --> 00:27:59.220
OUT OF THE WATER YOU'RE NOT WARM
00:27:59.220 --> 00:28:02.110
RIGHT AWAY.
00:28:02.110 --> 00:28:03.160
IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE BODY TO
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.040
CATCH UP.
00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:08.120
MENTALLY IT'S TAKEN MY FAMILY A
00:28:08.120 --> 00:28:10.120
LOT OF TIME TO KNOW I DON'T HAVE
00:28:11.020 --> 00:28:14.020
TO TAKE A 915 CALL EVERY NIGHT.
00:28:14.020 --> 00:28:16.000
THIS IS CORRECTIONAL...
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:17.220
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:18.270
BUT HE'S HOME.
00:28:18.270 --> 00:28:20.190
HE JUST TEXT ME ON THE WAY OVER
00:28:20.190 --> 00:28:22.040
HERE.
00:28:22.040 --> 00:28:22.290
TRIPS ME OUT.
00:28:22.290 --> 00:28:24.220
MY DAD IS TEXTING ME.
00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:26.020
GOD IS A GOOD GOD.
00:28:27.250 --> 00:28:30.250
- JONATHAN YOU TALKED ABOUT
00:28:30.250 --> 00:28:32.190
YOUR DAD NEVER GOT BITTER.
00:28:32.190 --> 00:28:33.230
HOW DID YOU OVERCOME?
00:28:33.230 --> 00:28:35.100
I IMAGINE YOU HAD TO HAVE ASKED
00:28:35.260 --> 00:28:38.260
GOD WHY, HOW, WHERE ARE YOU?
00:28:38.260 --> 00:28:40.170
HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THAT?
00:28:40.170 --> 00:28:42.050
- IT WAS HARD FOR ME NOT TO BE
00:28:42.050 --> 00:28:44.180
ANGRY WITH GOD.
00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:45.190
I PRIDE.
00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:48.150
PRAYED.
00:28:48.150 --> 00:28:49.150
HE KNEW THE TRUTH.
00:28:49.150 --> 00:28:51.080
WHERE ELSE DO YOU HAVE TO RUN
00:28:51.080 --> 00:28:52.160
AND TURN?
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:53.180
I HAD NO ONE ELSE TO TURN TO BUT
00:28:53.180 --> 00:28:55.110
JESUS.
00:28:55.110 --> 00:28:56.150
PEOPLE WILL GO THROUGH STUFF IN
00:28:56.150 --> 00:28:57.200
LIFE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:59.020
THEY'LL GO THROUGH IT WITHOUT
00:28:59.020 --> 00:28:59.250
HIM.
00:28:59.250 --> 00:29:02.170
COUNTLESS TIMES AS REBELLIOUS
00:29:02.170 --> 00:29:03.180
TEENAGER HIGH AND DRUNK OUT OF
00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:05.160
MY MIND I WOULD FEEL THE
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:06.270
PRESENCE OF JESUS IN A REAL WAY
00:29:06.270 --> 00:29:08.200
AND FELT HIM LOVE ME WHEN I
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.100
DIDN'T DESERVE IT.
00:29:10.100 --> 00:29:11.210
I KEPT TURNING TO HIM AND
00:29:11.210 --> 00:29:13.160
TURNING TO HIM AND I KNEW NOT
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:15.020
ONLY WOULD I GIVE MY LIFE TO
00:29:15.020 --> 00:29:15.270
HIM.
00:29:15.270 --> 00:29:16.230
BUT GIVE MY LIFE TO THE CAUSE OF
00:29:16.230 --> 00:29:18.000
THE MINISTRY.
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:19.030
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE HIS PEOPLE.
00:29:19.030 --> 00:29:20.200
IF GOD COMES FIRST, PEOPLE HAVE
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:21.260
TO COME FIRST.
00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:28.060
I ALWAYS KNEW, INTERNAL PICTURE
00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:29.240
I HAD OF ME STANDING ON A STAGE
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.100
WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN FRONT
00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:33.040
OF ME.
00:29:33.040 --> 00:29:34.120
A PICTURE OF MY DAD BEING
00:29:34.120 --> 00:29:36.170
RESTORED BROUGHT BACK HOME AND
00:29:36.170 --> 00:29:38.040
LOOKING AT THE TWO PICTURES A
00:29:38.040 --> 00:29:40.030
MONTH BEFORE MY WEDDING SAY
00:29:40.030 --> 00:29:42.240
WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE.
00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:47.080
IT'S A DIFFICULT MOMENT FOR ME.
00:29:47.080 --> 00:29:48.180
I KNEW IF I CHOSE THE CALL DAD
00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:51.070
WOULDN'T HAVE COME HOME.
00:29:51.070 --> 00:29:51.260
DAD.
00:29:51.260 --> 00:29:53.250
I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE TRANSLATED
00:29:53.250 --> 00:29:56.180
TRANSPORTED INTO MY LIFE.
00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:58.050
BUT I CHOSE THE CALL THAT WAS ON
00:29:58.050 --> 00:29:59.050
MY LIFE.
00:30:01.170 --> 00:30:04.170
BECAUSE FOR ME, RESCUING
00:30:04.170 --> 00:30:06.150
ENCOURAGING INSPIRING AND
00:30:06.150 --> 00:30:09.020
EMPOWERING OTHER PEOPLE THAT
00:30:09.020 --> 00:30:10.060
NEEDED TO BE TALKED OFF THE EDGE
00:30:10.060 --> 00:30:13.050
OF GIVING UP BECAME THE FIRST
00:30:14.010 --> 00:30:17.010
AND FOREMOST PRIORITY, THE SAME
00:30:17.010 --> 00:30:18.070
JESUS THAT HELPED ME OVERCOME IS
00:30:18.070 --> 00:30:19.220
THE SAME ONE THAT WILL HELP.
00:30:19.220 --> 00:30:21.140
WHEN I WAS IN ORLANDO AT THAT
00:30:21.140 --> 00:30:23.160
EVENT, I FELT THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:25.100
I'M NOT TRYING TO GET PREACHY
00:30:25.100 --> 00:30:27.000
BUT I FELT THE SPIRIT OF GOD
00:30:27.110 --> 00:30:30.110
COME OVER ME.
00:30:30.110 --> 00:30:32.050
THERE'S SOMEONE HERE YOU HAVEN'T
00:30:32.050 --> 00:30:33.100
PREACHED IN A LONG TIME BUT THE
00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:37.120
SPIRIT IS STIRRING UP IN FRONT
00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:38.060
OF YOU.
00:30:38.060 --> 00:30:41.020
AND I TELL YOU THE GIFTS ARE
00:30:42.130 --> 00:30:45.130
WITHOUT REPENTANCE.
00:30:45.130 --> 00:30:46.210
IF THERE WAS A CATCHER I
00:30:46.210 --> 00:30:48.270
PROBABLY WOULD HAVE FALLEN OUT.
00:30:48.270 --> 00:30:50.170
I NOT ONLY SAW YOUR DAD BUT YOUR
00:30:50.170 --> 00:30:51.260
MOTHER.
00:30:51.260 --> 00:30:53.030
YOUR MOTHER STOOD BY HIM 18
00:30:53.030 --> 00:30:55.190
YEARS STAYED WITH HIM AND FOUGHT
00:30:55.190 --> 00:30:57.170
FOR HIS RELEASE AND TOGETHER

STOP IT.

I MEAN O MY GOSH.
00:31:02.270 --> 00:31:04.070
THAT IS EVIDENCE OF A LIVING
00:31:04.070 --> 00:31:05.010
GOD.
00:31:07.050 --> 00:31:10.050
ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.
00:31:10.050 --> 00:31:12.030
NOW GOD IS USING THE STORIES.
00:31:12.030 --> 00:31:14.090
WE JUST HAVE A MINUTE LEFT.
00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:20.080

EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG
00:35:51.290 --> 00:35:52.240

WHEN YOU YOURSELF ARE BROKEN.
00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:17.070

00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:47.290
WAY.
00:42:47.290 --> 00:42:48.220
WE COULD GET ON THE SAME PLANE
00:42:48.220 --> 00:42:50.100

DIED HE STAYED THAT WAY.

GOOD EVIDENCE IS.

FOR THERE NOT TO BE A GOD
00:46:31.200 --> 00:46:33.240
BECAUSE I LIVED A IMMORAL AND
00:46:37.050 --> 00:46:40.050
NARCISSISTIC AND SELF
00:46:40.050 --> 00:46:41.090

00:46:51.130 --> 00:46:52.160
SHE BECOMES A CHRISTIAN.
00:46:52.160 --> 00:46:53.210

POSSIBLE NEWS AS ATHEIST.

00:49:43.170 --> 00:49:46.170
THIS MESSAGE OUT TO A WORLD
00:49:46.170 --> 00:49:49.170
THAT'S SPIRITUALLY CONFUSED AND
00:49:49.170 --> 00:49:50.110
CONFLICTED AND GET THE MESSAGE
00:49:50.110 --> 00:49:51.210
OF HOPE TO TEN TIRE WORLD SO THE
00:49:51.210 --> 00:49:53.160
TIME WILL COME.
00:49:53.160 --> 00:49:55.160
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT LIKE OTHER
00:49:55.160 --> 00:49:56.250
FAITHS.
00:49:57.240 --> 00:50:00.240
YOU KNOW, PAUL SAID IF
00:50:00.240 --> 00:50:02.120
RESURRECTION ISN'T TRUE YOUR
00:50:02.120 --> 00:50:05.010
FAITH IS WORTHLESS.
00:50:05.010 --> 00:50:05.270
IT'S WORTHLESS.
00:50:05.270 --> 00:50:08.010
IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN
00:50:08.010 --> 00:50:08.180
INVESTIGATE.
00:50:08.180 --> 00:50:10.160
CHRISTIANITY IS AN INVESTIGATE
00:50:10.160 --> 00:50:11.090
ABLE FAITH.
00:50:11.090 --> 00:50:12.080
WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS IN
00:50:12.080 --> 00:50:15.010
PRISON AND BEGAN TO DOUBT ABOUT
00:50:15.010 --> 00:50:15.250
JESUS.
00:50:15.250 --> 00:50:16.110
WHAT DID HE DO?
00:50:16.110 --> 00:50:18.030
SENT HIS DISCIPLES TO TRACK
00:50:18.030 --> 00:50:19.150
JESUS DOWN AND ASK HIM, ARE YOU
00:50:19.150 --> 00:50:21.080
THE ONE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR?
00:50:21.080 --> 00:50:22.230
WHAT DID JESUS DO?
00:50:22.230 --> 00:50:23.160
GET MAD.
00:50:23.160 --> 00:50:25.020
JOHN ASK A QUESTION OR EXPRESS A
00:50:25.020 --> 00:50:27.020
DOUBT?
00:50:27.020 --> 00:50:27.120
NO.
00:50:27.120 --> 00:50:29.230
SHOW WHAT YOU'VE SEEN AND HEARD.
00:50:29.230 --> 00:50:31.210
LEPROSY IS SECURED.
00:50:31.210 --> 00:50:34.200
DEATH RAISED.
00:50:34.200 --> 00:50:36.230
FATHERLESS ARE FOUND.
00:50:36.230 --> 00:50:39.030
PRODIGALS COME HOME.
00:50:39.030 --> 00:50:41.070
FINANCES AND BLESSING AND LOVE
00:50:41.070 --> 00:50:42.280
AND JOY IS RESTORED.
00:50:45.170 --> 00:50:48.170
PASTOR JOHN THAN, THIS MESSAGE,
00:50:48.170 --> 00:50:50.100
PASTOR JOHN THAN, YOU KNOW, AS
00:50:50.100 --> 00:50:52.090
MUCH AS THE ATHEIST NEED TO COME
00:50:52.230 --> 00:50:55.230
TO KNOW JESUS , LET'S BE
00:50:55.230 --> 00:50:56.150
STRAIGHT.
00:50:56.150 --> 00:50:58.140
RELIGIOUS FOLK CHRISTIANS NEED
00:50:58.140 --> 00:50:59.270
TO KNOW JESUS.
00:50:59.270 --> 00:51:01.140
THEY WENT ON A BOAT RIDE WITH
00:51:01.140 --> 00:51:03.190
JESUS, DISCIPLES, THESE ARE THE
00:51:04.040 --> 00:51:07.040
V.I.P.S ARMOR BEARERS WITH THEM
00:51:07.040 --> 00:51:08.270
ALL THE TIME BEST SEAT IN THE
00:51:08.270 --> 00:51:11.120
HOUSE AND FALLS ASLEEP AND WINDS
00:51:11.120 --> 00:51:13.150
START BLOWING AND THEY WAKE HIM
00:51:13.150 --> 00:51:15.150
UP AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO DIE.
00:51:16.170 --> 00:51:19.170
AND HE SAYS PEACE BE STILL.
00:51:19.170 --> 00:51:21.240
NO ONE SAYS THANK YOU OR ON TIME
00:51:21.240 --> 00:51:23.100
GOD.
00:51:23.100 --> 00:51:24.130
THEY SAY WHO IS THIS?
00:51:24.130 --> 00:51:25.230
NOT WHO IS THIS.
00:51:26.080 --> 00:51:29.080
EVEN THE WINDS AND SEA OBEY HIM.
00:51:29.080 --> 00:51:31.080
THEY CAN WALK AND TALK AND WORK
00:51:31.080 --> 00:51:32.240
WITH HIM AND NOT KNOW HIM.
00:51:32.240 --> 00:51:33.140
LISTEN.
00:51:33.140 --> 00:51:35.040
YOU CAN KNOW THE DOCTRINE OF
00:51:35.040 --> 00:51:37.150
YOUR DENOMINATION AND NOT KNOW
00:51:37.150 --> 00:51:38.210
THE GOD OF YOUR SALVATION.
00:51:38.210 --> 00:51:39.230
I DON'T WANT TO BE IN A PLACE I
00:51:39.230 --> 00:51:42.150
KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM AND
00:51:42.150 --> 00:51:43.090
NOT KNOW HIM.
00:51:48.030 --> 00:51:51.030
TALK TO CHRISTIANS THAT ARE
00:51:51.030 --> 00:51:53.020
WALKING AND DON'T HAVE THE
00:51:53.020 --> 00:51:54.200
RELATIONSHIP THEY NEED WITH HIM.
00:51:54.200 --> 00:51:56.170
- A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAD
00:51:56.170 --> 00:51:58.120
KNOWLEDGE AND HEART KNOWLEDGE
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:02.020
AND HEAD KNOWLEDGE COMES LIVING
00:52:02.020 --> 00:52:04.110
THROUGH HELL AND GETING THE
00:52:04.110 --> 00:52:07.070
T-SHIRT AND KICKING THE DEVIL'S
00:52:07.070 --> 00:52:08.140
YOU KNOW WHAT THREE TIMES OVER.
00:52:08.140 --> 00:52:10.210
I WAS A P. K..
00:52:10.210 --> 00:52:12.080
I WAS IN THREE THOUSAND SERMONS
00:52:12.080 --> 00:52:13.250
BEFORE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD.
00:52:13.250 --> 00:52:16.100
AND I HEARD JESUS WALKED ON
00:52:16.100 --> 00:52:18.100
WATER AND CHANGED WATER TO WINE
00:52:18.100 --> 00:52:19.250
AND HEALED LEPERS.
00:52:19.250 --> 00:52:21.000
I HEARD EVERYTHING HE COULD DO.
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:22.280
BUT IT WAS ON MY KNEES IN THE
00:52:23.140 --> 00:52:26.140
MIDST OF MY DARKEST HOUR I FELT
00:52:26.140 --> 00:52:27.260
HIM LIFT ME UP.
00:52:30.290 --> 00:52:33.290
I FELT HIM MEND MY BROKEN HEART.
00:52:35.070 --> 00:52:38.070
I KNOW HIM ONLY BECAUSE OF THE
00:52:38.070 --> 00:52:39.110
TRIAL AND TROUBLE.
00:52:39.110 --> 00:52:41.050
IF WE ALLOW OUR PAIN TO PUSH US
00:52:41.100 --> 00:52:44.100
FURTHER FROM GOD WE'LL NEVER
00:52:44.100 --> 00:52:45.130
LEARN BUT THE PAIN HAS A PURPOSE
00:52:46.190 --> 00:52:49.190
TO GIVE US KNOWLEDGE AND
00:52:49.190 --> 00:52:51.090
REVELATION WITH JESUS.
00:52:51.090 --> 00:52:52.110
ONCE YOU SEE HIM LIKE THAT,
00:52:52.110 --> 00:52:54.050
THERE'S NO CASE THAT CAN EVER BE
00:52:54.050 --> 00:52:57.050
MADE AGAINST CHRIST.
00:52:57.050 --> 00:52:59.250
- WHAT I HEAR PASTOR JOHN THAN
00:53:00.190 --> 00:53:03.190
SAY, THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE
00:53:03.190 --> 00:53:04.170
BETWEEN THE DISCIPLES THAT WERE
00:53:04.170 --> 00:53:05.270
ON A BOAT.
00:53:05.270 --> 00:53:07.260
THIS IS ANOTHER BOAT STORY.
00:53:07.260 --> 00:53:09.120
A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISCIPLES
00:53:09.120 --> 00:53:10.190
IN THE BOAT AND SIMON PETER
00:53:10.190 --> 00:53:12.080
WALKING ON THE WATER.
00:53:12.080 --> 00:53:13.260
PENTECOSTAL PREACHER.
00:53:13.260 --> 00:53:15.250
I ASSURE YOU WHEN THEY ALL LEFT
00:53:15.250 --> 00:53:18.010
THE BOAT AND GOT FULL OF THE
00:53:18.010 --> 00:53:19.170
HOLY SPIRIT ON DAY OF PENTECOST
00:53:19.170 --> 00:53:21.270
I ASSURE YOU EVERY ONE OF THEM
00:53:21.270 --> 00:53:23.190
PREACHED I SAW A MAN WALKING ON
00:53:23.190 --> 00:53:24.190
THE WATER.
00:53:24.190 --> 00:53:25.110
THEY ALL DID.
00:53:25.110 --> 00:53:26.100
IT.
00:53:26.100 --> 00:53:28.140
SIMON TESTIMONY AND SERMON WAS
00:53:28.140 --> 00:53:29.090
DIFFERENT.
00:53:29.090 --> 00:53:30.180
HE DIDN'T SAY I SAW A MAN.
00:53:30.180 --> 00:53:32.100
HE SAID I AM THE MAN WHO WALKED
00:53:32.150 --> 00:53:35.150
ON THE WATER.
00:53:35.150 --> 00:53:36.240
HE HAD A RELATIONSHIP AND CALL
00:53:36.240 --> 00:53:37.240
WITH GOD ON THE WATER.
00:53:37.240 --> 00:53:39.100
TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.
00:53:39.100 --> 00:53:41.190
- I BELIEVE OUR GENERATION
00:53:41.190 --> 00:53:43.130
NEEDS AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS ON
00:53:43.130 --> 00:53:44.070
THE WATER.
00:53:44.070 --> 00:53:46.040
IT NEEDS A TRANSFIGURATION
00:53:46.040 --> 00:53:47.250
ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS.
00:53:48.150 --> 00:53:51.150
THEY BROUGHT ELIJAH AND MOSES.
00:53:51.150 --> 00:53:53.260
MIRACLE WORKERS TO NEW TESTAMENT
00:53:53.260 --> 00:53:56.120
MIRACLE WORKERS, THE SONS OF
00:53:56.120 --> 00:53:58.110
THUNDER.
00:53:58.110 --> 00:54:00.230
MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE
00:54:00.230 --> 00:54:02.220
HISTORY IN THE WORLD, OUR
00:54:02.220 --> 00:54:04.200
GENERATION NEEDS A GOD
00:54:04.200 --> 00:54:05.080
ENCOUNTER.
00:54:05.080 --> 00:54:06.120
THEY NEED TO SEE THE MANIFEST
00:54:06.120 --> 00:54:08.040
PRESENCE OF GOD IN OUR CHURCH,
00:54:08.040 --> 00:54:11.020
IN OUR PULPITS, FROM PULPITS TO
00:54:11.020 --> 00:54:12.040
THE PEW.
00:54:12.040 --> 00:54:13.050
I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART GOD
00:54:13.180 --> 00:54:16.180
WILL INVADE THIS NATION.
00:54:16.180 --> 00:54:18.020
WE NEED A REVIVAL.
00:54:18.020 --> 00:54:19.070
I BELIEVE WE'LL SEE IT.
00:54:19.070 --> 00:54:21.050
- PASTOR MATT, YOU LOSE A
00:54:21.050 --> 00:54:21.260
BROTHER.
00:54:21.260 --> 00:54:23.270
YOU ALMOST LOSE A CHURCH.
00:54:23.270 --> 00:54:26.230
YOU ALMOST LOSE EVERYTHING BUT
00:54:26.230 --> 00:54:27.290
YOU CAN LAUGH AGAIN AND SMILE
00:54:27.290 --> 00:54:30.090
AGAIN AND HAVE JOY AGAIN.
00:54:30.090 --> 00:54:31.240
TALK TO ME ABOUT RESTORATION.
00:54:31.240 --> 00:54:33.170
- I'M JUST ENCOURAGED TONIGHT.
00:54:33.170 --> 00:54:35.030
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE WATCHED
00:54:35.030 --> 00:54:36.000
THIS PROGRAM.
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:37.190
THOSE OF YOU HERE TONIGHT WHAT
00:54:37.190 --> 00:54:39.180
YOU'VE HEARD FROM ARE PEOPLE
00:54:39.180 --> 00:54:41.030
THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS.
00:54:41.030 --> 00:54:42.080
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:54:42.080 --> 00:54:43.250
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU'VE
00:54:43.250 --> 00:54:45.240
LOST BECAUSE GOD HAS A PLAN FOR
00:54:45.240 --> 00:54:47.070
WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT.
00:54:47.070 --> 00:54:48.150
IF ALL YOU HAVE LEFT IS A
00:54:48.150 --> 00:54:50.080
PRAISE, IF ALL YOU HAVE LEFT IS
00:54:50.080 --> 00:54:52.180
FAITH, IF ALL YOU HAVE LEFT IS
00:54:52.180 --> 00:54:55.040
COMMITMENT, LET ME TELL YOU,
00:54:55.040 --> 00:54:56.150
YOUR MIRACLE IS GOING TO COME.
00:54:56.150 --> 00:54:58.120
NOT FROM WHAT YOU'VE LOST BUT
00:54:58.120 --> 00:55:00.210
WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT.
00:55:00.210 --> 00:55:02.170
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED
00:55:02.170 --> 00:55:04.040
INSIDE OF YOU IN ORDER FOR GOD
00:55:04.040 --> 00:55:06.030
TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE IN YOUR
00:55:06.030 --> 00:55:07.110
LIFE.
00:55:07.110 --> 00:55:09.100
- YOU KNOW, I'VE WRITTEN
00:55:09.100 --> 00:55:11.100
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PAGES,
00:55:11.100 --> 00:55:13.200
20 BOOKS ABOUT THE EVIDENCE FOR
00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:16.030
JESUS CHRIST, THE EVIDENCE FOR
00:55:16.030 --> 00:55:17.100
HIM BEING SON OF GOD.
00:55:17.100 --> 00:55:18.210
IF YOU ASK ME RIGHT NOW WHY DO I
00:55:18.210 --> 00:55:20.240
BELIEVE JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD?
00:55:20.240 --> 00:55:22.050
BECAUSE I KNOW HIM.
00:55:22.050 --> 00:55:23.160
I'VE MET HIM.
00:55:23.160 --> 00:55:24.270
HE'S TOUCHED MY LIFE.
00:55:24.270 --> 00:55:26.200
HE'S DONE MIRACLES IN MY LIFE.
00:55:26.200 --> 00:55:28.010
WHEN I WAS ON MY DEATH BED FIVE
00:55:28.010 --> 00:55:30.160
YEARS AGO AND ALMOST WHEN THE
00:55:30.160 --> 00:55:33.090
DOCTOR TOLD ME YOU'RE ONE STEP
00:55:33.090 --> 00:55:35.070
AWAY FROM A COMA, TWO STEPS AWAY
00:55:35.070 --> 00:55:36.280
FROM DYING, WHEN I WAS ON THE
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:38.270
EDGE OF ETERNITY AND ON THE EDGE
00:55:38.270 --> 00:55:40.240
OF DEATH JESUS CHRIST MET ME
00:55:40.240 --> 00:55:41.170
THERE.
00:55:41.170 --> 00:55:42.240
JESUS CHRIST ENCOURAGED ME.
00:55:43.020 --> 00:55:46.020
JESUS CHRIST HEALED ME AT THAT
00:55:46.020 --> 00:55:46.250
MOMENT.
00:55:46.250 --> 00:55:48.120
MY FAITH IS NOT BASED JUST ON
00:55:48.230 --> 00:55:51.230
ACADEMIC EVIDENCE.
00:55:51.230 --> 00:55:53.070
IT'S BASED ON PERSONAL
00:55:53.070 --> 00:55:54.070
ENCOUNTER.
00:55:54.070 --> 00:55:55.180
- MY WIFE PASSED AWAY LAST
00:55:55.180 --> 00:55:56.170
YEAR.
00:55:56.200 --> 00:55:59.200
MOST TRAUMATIC YEAR OF MY LIFE.
00:55:59.200 --> 00:56:02.080
MY CHILDREN TOLD THEIR MOM ON
00:56:02.080 --> 00:56:04.140
THEIR DEATH BED WE'LL BE
00:56:04.140 --> 00:56:05.290
BAPTIZED AT YOUR FUNERAL AND I
00:56:05.290 --> 00:56:07.280
TOOK ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.250
AND AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS I
00:56:09.290 --> 00:56:12.290
BAPTIZED THEM FOR REMISSION OF
00:56:12.290 --> 00:56:14.230
THEIR SINS AND THE YOUNGEST CAME
00:56:14.230 --> 00:56:16.200
OUT OF THE WATER AND HOLY SPIRIT
00:56:16.200 --> 00:56:18.120
WAS ON THEM AND OLDEST SAID SAY
00:56:18.220 --> 00:56:21.220
JESUS SAY JESUS AND BAPTIZED
00:56:21.220 --> 00:56:22.200
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND
00:56:22.200 --> 00:56:23.220
SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND I WAS
00:56:23.220 --> 00:56:26.010
TELLING THE STORY TO JENTEZEN
00:56:26.010 --> 00:56:26.290
FRANKLIN.
00:56:26.290 --> 00:56:28.090
HE SAID NO WONDER YOU ARE SAFE
00:56:28.090 --> 00:56:29.190
AND WORKING OUT.
00:56:29.190 --> 00:56:31.190
DO YOU REALIZE HOW SAVED UP AT
00:56:31.190 --> 00:56:32.200
THE FUNERAL?
00:56:32.200 --> 00:56:34.160
THE COMFORTER CAME TO YOUR
00:56:34.160 --> 00:56:35.190
WIFE'S FUNERAL.
00:56:35.190 --> 00:56:37.070
THAT'S WHY EVERYONE WANTS US TO
00:56:37.070 --> 00:56:39.020
BE DEPRESSED AND SUICIDAL.
00:56:39.020 --> 00:56:40.160
PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE
00:56:40.160 --> 00:56:41.290
CAN LAUGH AND BE HAPPY.
00:56:41.290 --> 00:56:43.030
IT'S TOO CRAZY.
00:56:43.030 --> 00:56:44.120
HOW CAN YOU MOVE ON?
00:56:44.120 --> 00:56:45.250
THE COMFORTER CAME.
00:56:45.250 --> 00:56:47.060
HE MADE HIMSELF REAL IN OUR
00:56:47.060 --> 00:56:47.280
PAIN.
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:49.090
AND HE'S DOING IT FOR YOU.
00:56:49.090 --> 00:56:51.070
NOW, I PRAY THAT THIS SAME JESUS
00:56:51.070 --> 00:56:54.060
THAT HAS BEEN EVIDENT IN ALL OF
00:56:54.060 --> 00:56:56.110
THE LIVES BECOME EVIDENT TO YOU
00:56:56.110 --> 00:56:58.090
RIGHT NOW. I PRAY THE BLESSING
00:56:58.090 --> 00:56:59.090
OF THE FATHER.
00:56:59.090 --> 00:57:00.140
I PRAY RESTORATION.
00:57:00.140 --> 00:57:01.070
I PRAY JOY.
00:57:01.070 --> 00:57:02.120
I PRAY HAPPINESS.
00:57:02.120 --> 00:57:04.050
I PRAY YOUR MARRIAGE RESTORED.
00:57:04.050 --> 00:57:05.040
MONEY RESTORED.
00:57:05.040 --> 00:57:06.260
I DECLARE THIS WILL BE THE
00:57:06.260 --> 00:57:08.130
GREATEST YEAR IN YOUR LIFE
00:57:08.130 --> 00:57:10.000
BECAUSE THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT
00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:10.260
JESUS IS ALIVE.
00:57:10.260 --> 00:57:11.110
I LOVE YOU.
00:57:11.110 --> 00:57:12.160
GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS' NAME.
00:57:12.160 --> 00:57:14.180
HALLELUJAH.
00:57:14.180 --> 00:57:15.050
