  • - there is a time (smooth music)
  • 00:00:00.225 --> 00:00:01.593
  • For god to present you to the world.
  • 00:00:01.593 --> 00:00:04.563
  • There is a time
  • 00:00:04.563 --> 00:00:05.998
  • Where you walk into everything you were created to do.
  • 00:00:05.998 --> 00:00:08.901
  • There is a time and a season
  • 00:00:08.901 --> 00:00:10.936
  • For you to possess everything in this life
  • 00:00:10.936 --> 00:00:13.372
  • God wants you to have.
  • 00:00:13.372 --> 00:00:14.406
  • I know you can't clap yet,
  • 00:00:14.406 --> 00:00:15.541
  • But i'm coming at you, hallelujah.
  • 00:00:15.541 --> 00:00:17.042
  • There is a time where god wants you
  • 00:00:17.042 --> 00:00:19.244
  • To shed off the gray clothes of yesterday
  • 00:00:19.244 --> 00:00:21.847
  • And walk into who you can be.
  • 00:00:21.847 --> 00:00:23.949
  • God wants you to put on the new man.
  • 00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:26.018
  • God wants you to live the life
  • 00:00:26.018 --> 00:00:27.953
  • That he ordained for you in heaven
  • 00:00:27.953 --> 00:00:29.655
  • Before your mama and daddy ever met.
  • 00:00:29.655 --> 00:00:32.124
  • God has a time for it.
  • 00:00:32.124 --> 00:00:34.860
  • It's your inheritance.
  • 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:36.829
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:00:36.829 --> 00:00:38.864
  • (smooth music continues)
  • 00:00:38.864 --> 00:00:57.983
  • From my small sample size of history,
  • 00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:02.020
  • And i'm going to speak particularly to our country,
  • 00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:06.191
  • In the sixties and seventies,
  • 00:01:06.825 --> 00:01:09.661
  • I think there was something birthed in our country
  • 00:01:10.662 --> 00:01:14.099
  • That many people celebrate,
  • 00:01:14.099 --> 00:01:15.734
  • But as i look at it, i don't think it was so good.
  • 00:01:15.734 --> 00:01:20.239
  • Because what happens with every generation,
  • 00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:23.408
  • Something grows a little bit bigger.
  • 00:01:23.408 --> 00:01:26.478
  • And now that we have come
  • 00:01:27.045 --> 00:01:28.847
  • From those sixties' and seventies' revolutionary times
  • 00:01:28.847 --> 00:01:31.650
  • Until today, we now have a generation today,
  • 00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:35.587
  • Stay with me now,
  • 00:01:35.587 --> 00:01:36.989
  • That celebrates rebellion.
  • 00:01:36.989 --> 00:01:42.127
  • It is celebrated.
  • 00:01:42.561 --> 00:01:45.731
  • A normal day in a classroom does not make it to tiktok,
  • 00:01:46.865 --> 00:01:50.936
  • But when the kids beat up their teachers.
  • 00:01:51.803 --> 00:01:55.641
  • I can promise you, in the eighties that didn't happen.
  • 00:01:56.708 --> 00:01:59.545
  • Most of my teachers looked like linebackers
  • 00:02:00.445 --> 00:02:01.513
  • For the 49ers anyway.
  • 00:02:01.513 --> 00:02:02.948
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:02:02.948 --> 00:02:07.119
  • Total disregard for the authority of a classroom.
  • 00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:10.455
  • I read last night an article,
  • 00:02:11.089 --> 00:02:12.991
  • I have several news notification that pops up,
  • 00:02:12.991 --> 00:02:15.561
  • It didn't say what country in europe,
  • 00:02:15.561 --> 00:02:17.029
  • But in a country in europe,
  • 00:02:17.029 --> 00:02:19.198
  • A family just lost custody
  • 00:02:19.198 --> 00:02:21.133
  • Of their 14 and 15-year-old daughters
  • 00:02:21.133 --> 00:02:23.602
  • Because their daughters took them to court,
  • 00:02:23.602 --> 00:02:26.305
  • Because the family went to church three times a month
  • 00:02:26.305 --> 00:02:29.241
  • And the daughters didn't want to.
  • 00:02:29.241 --> 00:02:30.976
  • And the court ruled them religious extremists
  • 00:02:30.976 --> 00:02:34.413
  • And said they no longer had custody of their daughters.
  • 00:02:34.413 --> 00:02:38.617
  • Because they went to church three times a month.
  • 00:02:39.618 --> 00:02:42.187
  • So we have the authority of the home violated and broken.
  • 00:02:43.355 --> 00:02:48.727
  • These are not good things.
  • 00:02:49.294 --> 00:02:51.463
  • These are not good trends.
  • 00:02:51.463 --> 00:02:53.332
  • We have totally lost all respect
  • 00:02:53.966 --> 00:02:57.469
  • For any governmental authority.
  • 00:02:57.469 --> 00:02:59.438
  • When i was coming up,
  • 00:02:59.438 --> 00:03:00.739
  • I didn't care if it was a republican or democrat,
  • 00:03:00.739 --> 00:03:02.007
  • Anywhere near, you stood up, and you honored it,
  • 00:03:02.007 --> 00:03:04.776
  • And they honored each other.
  • 00:03:04.776 --> 00:03:06.511
  • Now all they do is fight, and call each other names,
  • 00:03:06.511 --> 00:03:08.447
  • And act silly.
  • 00:03:08.447 --> 00:03:10.816
  • All disrespect for authority.
  • 00:03:11.450 --> 00:03:14.519
  • So when it comes to military, political,
  • 00:03:15.387 --> 00:03:17.222
  • The school, the classroom, mom and dad,
  • 00:03:17.222 --> 00:03:20.325
  • Police officer, anything,
  • 00:03:20.325 --> 00:03:21.693
  • There's this celebration of rebellion which breeds,
  • 00:03:21.693 --> 00:03:24.997
  • "nobody will tell me what to do."
  • 00:03:24.997 --> 00:03:28.233
  • Okay?
  • 00:03:28.467 --> 00:03:29.768
  • Let me emphasize where i started last week,
  • 00:03:29.768 --> 00:03:31.837
  • I want to drill deeper.
  • 00:03:31.837 --> 00:03:33.305
  • When you will listen to no one,
  • 00:03:33.939 --> 00:03:38.076
  • You have then relegated your life
  • 00:03:38.844 --> 00:03:41.213
  • To only learning through experience.
  • 00:03:41.213 --> 00:03:45.584
  • Okay?
  • 00:03:45.817 --> 00:03:46.985
  • Anybody who's in my fellowship, all the young pastors,
  • 00:03:48.020 --> 00:03:50.289
  • You know, they have a quote
  • 00:03:50.289 --> 00:03:51.990
  • That they hear me say all the time.
  • 00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:53.358
  • "let my pain be your wisdom.
  • 00:03:53.358 --> 00:03:57.729
  • Do not spend your life
  • 00:03:58.230 --> 00:03:59.698
  • Picking up as many pieces as i picked up.
  • 00:03:59.698 --> 00:04:02.301
  • So let me tell you where the landmines are,
  • 00:04:03.168 --> 00:04:06.104
  • And don't go there."
  • 00:04:06.104 --> 00:04:07.973
  • I can just tell you that.
  • 00:04:08.540 --> 00:04:10.842
  • And my three-year cleaning up my mess,
  • 00:04:11.643 --> 00:04:14.313
  • You can have in one instruction.
  • 00:04:14.313 --> 00:04:17.582
  • That's the power of a mentor.
  • 00:04:18.216 --> 00:04:20.218
  • That's the power of a voice.
  • 00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:22.888
  • And i'm not talking about a friend,
  • 00:04:22.888 --> 00:04:24.389
  • A friend knows all about your past.
  • 00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:26.024
  • A mentor is only concerned with your future.
  • 00:04:26.024 --> 00:04:29.161
  • Okay?
  • 00:04:29.161 --> 00:04:30.462
  • Your friend is all right with you how you are.
  • 00:04:30.462 --> 00:04:33.198
  • Your mentor is not all right with how you are,
  • 00:04:33.198 --> 00:04:35.967
  • They know what you can be.
  • 00:04:35.967 --> 00:04:38.236
  • Come on.
  • 00:04:38.236 --> 00:04:39.404
  • They're not interested in your failure,
  • 00:04:39.404 --> 00:04:40.739
  • They're interested in your success.
  • 00:04:40.739 --> 00:04:42.541
  • They're not even interested in being your friend,
  • 00:04:42.541 --> 00:04:44.276
  • They're interested in being an instructor,
  • 00:04:44.276 --> 00:04:45.677
  • They're interested in moving your life forward.
  • 00:04:45.677 --> 00:04:48.513
  • A true mentor anchors you to your character.
  • 00:04:48.513 --> 00:04:52.718
  • And in our day and time,
  • 00:04:52.718 --> 00:04:53.885
  • We know about being an intern,
  • 00:04:53.885 --> 00:04:56.288
  • We know about an apprenticeship,
  • 00:04:56.288 --> 00:04:58.156
  • We know about shadowing somebody at a new company,
  • 00:04:58.156 --> 00:05:01.026
  • We know about those things.
  • 00:05:01.026 --> 00:05:02.127
  • That's not what i'm talking about.
  • 00:05:02.127 --> 00:05:03.628
  • She looked at naomi and said,
  • 00:05:03.628 --> 00:05:05.030
  • "everything you tell me, i will do."
  • 00:05:05.030 --> 00:05:07.899
  • In other words, somebody that god has brought in your life
  • 00:05:09.067 --> 00:05:12.371
  • That is so in love with your future
  • 00:05:12.371 --> 00:05:14.473
  • And the person that you can be,
  • 00:05:14.473 --> 00:05:16.808
  • That all of their instructions are focused forward
  • 00:05:16.808 --> 00:05:20.011
  • To move your life into your destiny.
  • 00:05:20.011 --> 00:05:22.080
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:23.348
  • And there is a sense of surrender to that voice
  • 00:05:23.348 --> 00:05:26.151
  • As you recognize,
  • 00:05:26.151 --> 00:05:27.486
  • "god has brought this person into my life."
  • 00:05:27.486 --> 00:05:30.422
  • So, wisdom only flows two ways,
  • 00:05:31.056 --> 00:05:33.125
  • It flows through the instruction of a mentor
  • 00:05:33.125 --> 00:05:35.861
  • Or it flows through human experience.
  • 00:05:35.861 --> 00:05:38.397
  • So if you will not listen to anybody
  • 00:05:38.397 --> 00:05:41.199
  • And you rebel against every voice that could instruct you,
  • 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.936
  • Then you have got to live and learn,
  • 00:05:44.936 --> 00:05:47.706
  • Which means you have to fail to learn.
  • 00:05:47.706 --> 00:05:52.644
  • So in other words, you will spend the majority of your life
  • 00:05:53.812 --> 00:05:56.948
  • Spending your energy cleaning up your last mess,
  • 00:05:56.948 --> 00:06:01.353
  • When you could have, with the instruction of a mentor,
  • 00:06:02.421 --> 00:06:05.590
  • Avoided all that and kept moving your life forward.
  • 00:06:05.590 --> 00:06:08.860
  • Favor is about to take a beggar
  • 00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:12.597
  • To be married to the wealthiest man in the land,
  • 00:06:12.597 --> 00:06:15.700
  • And owning everything she owns with him in a partnership,
  • 00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:19.738
  • And then, out of that bloodline, jesus will be born.
  • 00:06:19.738 --> 00:06:24.042
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:06:24.042 --> 00:06:25.510
  • I mean god is the master of puppets,
  • 00:06:25.510 --> 00:06:28.113
  • And he is arranging, and rearranging, and restructuring,
  • 00:06:28.113 --> 00:06:31.516
  • And pulling the strings and putting everything,
  • 00:06:31.516 --> 00:06:33.785
  • And he's got this wealthy man,
  • 00:06:33.785 --> 00:06:35.620
  • And he's got this woman, like i've told you,
  • 00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.722
  • Who smells like sweat and her hair's matted against her head
  • 00:06:37.722 --> 00:06:40.826
  • And there's dust all in her face,
  • 00:06:40.826 --> 00:06:42.527
  • And there's dirt between her toes.
  • 00:06:42.527 --> 00:06:44.262
  • And then naomi comes into her life and says,
  • 00:06:44.262 --> 00:06:47.866
  • "you can't move into this while you look like that."
  • 00:06:47.866 --> 00:06:52.170
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:55.740
  • And for some of you,
  • 00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:57.042
  • This is the scripture god put in my heart,
  • 00:06:57.042 --> 00:06:58.610
  • So i ain't had a lot of time with it,
  • 00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:00.078
  • I like to be very prepared when i get in the pulpit,
  • 00:07:00.078 --> 00:07:02.781
  • But god just started changing some things
  • 00:07:02.781 --> 00:07:04.649
  • And brought this scripture to my heart.
  • 00:07:04.649 --> 00:07:06.551
  • It's kinda hard to unpack without staying with it a while,
  • 00:07:06.551 --> 00:07:09.221
  • But let me throw it at you, galatians 4,
  • 00:07:09.221 --> 00:07:11.356
  • For those of you who saying, you know,
  • 00:07:11.356 --> 00:07:12.624
  • "i'm having a hard time grabbing hold of that,"
  • 00:07:12.624 --> 00:07:14.793
  • I understand these generations do. why?
  • 00:07:14.793 --> 00:07:16.695
  • Because with every year, this rebellion has increased.
  • 00:07:16.695 --> 00:07:20.632
  • And now it's just full-blown.
  • 00:07:21.266 --> 00:07:23.435
  • But let me prove to you,
  • 00:07:23.435 --> 00:07:25.036
  • As the bible countercultures this.
  • 00:07:25.036 --> 00:07:27.572
  • "now i say to the heir,"
  • 00:07:27.572 --> 00:07:30.475
  • Remember, ruth is heir to everything boaz has.
  • 00:07:30.475 --> 00:07:35.747
  • Remember what i read to you earlier?
  • 00:07:36.548 --> 00:07:38.483
  • You have an inheritance from your heavenly father.
  • 00:07:38.483 --> 00:07:43.021
  • So, an heir,
  • 00:07:43.355 --> 00:07:47.225
  • As long as he is a child,
  • 00:07:47.225 --> 00:07:50.228
  • Does not differ at all from a slave,
  • 00:07:50.228 --> 00:07:53.632
  • Though he actually is master of it all.
  • 00:07:53.632 --> 00:07:56.801
  • - [congregation member] come on brother.
  • 00:07:56.801 --> 00:07:57.869
  • - stay right there.
  • 00:07:57.869 --> 00:07:58.737
  • Stay right there.
  • 00:07:58.737 --> 00:08:00.372
  • An heir.
  • 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.940
  • So you can be the heir of bill gates' fortune.
  • 00:08:01.940 --> 00:08:05.944
  • (congregation member affirming)
  • 00:08:06.578 --> 00:08:07.412
  • Okay?
  • 00:08:07.412 --> 00:08:08.880
  • And if it's supposed to be released to you at age 30,
  • 00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:11.850
  • But you're only 18 years old,
  • 00:08:12.484 --> 00:08:14.386
  • (congregation member affirming)
  • 00:08:14.386 --> 00:08:15.954
  • Although you are master
  • 00:08:15.954 --> 00:08:17.389
  • Of the entire inheritance and estate,
  • 00:08:17.389 --> 00:08:19.891
  • You can be living under a bridge,
  • 00:08:19.891 --> 00:08:22.327
  • Because you have not come into the time of maturity
  • 00:08:23.395 --> 00:08:26.431
  • To possess it.
  • 00:08:26.431 --> 00:08:27.999
  • - [congregation member] come on.
  • 00:08:27.999 --> 00:08:28.934
  • - let me prove it.
  • 00:08:28.934 --> 00:08:30.168
  • "an heir, as long as he's a child,
  • 00:08:30.936 --> 00:08:32.604
  • Does not differ at all from a slave,
  • 00:08:32.604 --> 00:08:34.205
  • Though he is master of all."
  • 00:08:34.205 --> 00:08:35.540
  • Next verse.
  • 00:08:35.540 --> 00:08:37.042
  • "but is under guardians and stewards until the time."
  • 00:08:37.042 --> 00:08:41.012
  • Until the time, until the time.
  • 00:08:41.012 --> 00:08:43.582
  • There is a time for god to present you to the world.
  • 00:08:43.582 --> 00:08:47.886
  • (congregation members affirming)
  • 00:08:47.886 --> 00:08:48.720
  • There is a time
  • 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.155
  • Where you walk into everything you were created to do.
  • 00:08:50.155 --> 00:08:52.624
  • There is a time and a season
  • 00:08:52.624 --> 00:08:54.759
  • For you to possess everything in this life
  • 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.095
  • God wants you to have.
  • 00:08:57.095 --> 00:08:58.129
  • I know you can't clap yet,
  • 00:08:58.129 --> 00:08:59.331
  • But i'm coming at you, hallelujah.
  • 00:08:59.331 --> 00:09:00.799
  • There is a time
  • 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:02.100
  • Where god wants you to shed off
  • 00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:03.735
  • The gray clothes of yesterday
  • 00:09:03.735 --> 00:09:05.570
  • And walk into who you can be.
  • 00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:07.672
  • God wants you to put on the new man.
  • 00:09:07.672 --> 00:09:09.741
  • God wants you to live the life
  • 00:09:09.741 --> 00:09:11.710
  • That he ordained for you in heaven
  • 00:09:11.710 --> 00:09:13.445
  • Before your mama and daddy ever met.
  • 00:09:13.445 --> 00:09:15.880
  • God has a time for it.
  • 00:09:15.880 --> 00:09:17.849
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:09:17.849 --> 00:09:19.084
  • It's your inheritance.
  • 00:09:19.084 --> 00:09:24.589
  • And until you are at the place of maturity,
  • 00:09:25.490 --> 00:09:28.760
  • What is an inheritance?
  • 00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:29.728
  • Let me back up.
  • 00:09:29.728 --> 00:09:30.996
  • An inheritance is a prearranged blessing
  • 00:09:30.996 --> 00:09:34.432
  • To be released at a specific time of maturity.
  • 00:09:34.432 --> 00:09:38.970
  • So the blessing is prearranged,
  • 00:09:39.604 --> 00:09:41.973
  • And you come into it at a specific maturity
  • 00:09:42.874 --> 00:09:46.244
  • That is appointed by, usually, a father.
  • 00:09:46.244 --> 00:09:50.315
  • (congregation members affirming)
  • 00:09:50.949 --> 00:09:54.085
  • And though you're an heir,
  • 00:09:54.085 --> 00:09:56.488
  • As long as you're still immature, you can't possess it.
  • 00:09:56.488 --> 00:10:00.492
  • So you may be master of all, but functioning like a slave,
  • 00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:08.800
  • Because you're not at the place of maturity
  • 00:10:09.734 --> 00:10:11.436
  • You can apprehend it yet.
  • 00:10:11.436 --> 00:10:13.471
  • (smooth music)
  • 00:10:13.838 --> 00:10:28.987
  • (smooth music continues)
  • 00:10:29.487 --> 00:10:43.902
  • (intense music)
  • 00:10:44.269 --> 00:10:46.571
  • Favor is not just the way you meet god,
  • 00:10:46.571 --> 00:10:49.641
  • Favor is your entire benefit package with god.
  • 00:10:49.641 --> 00:10:57.348
  • When god gives you a word,
  • 00:10:57.916 --> 00:10:59.184
  • Very rarely does he give you details.
  • 00:10:59.184 --> 00:11:00.919
  • He just starts giving you a framework
  • 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.921
  • Of how it's going to take.
  • 00:11:02.921 --> 00:11:04.189
  • So he'll take a ron and hope carpenter,
  • 00:11:04.189 --> 00:11:06.224
  • Who got a little warehouse,
  • 00:11:06.224 --> 00:11:07.759
  • And he let a prophetic word come through someone to us
  • 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.662
  • And said, i'm going to take y'all one day,
  • 00:11:10.662 --> 00:11:12.864
  • And i'm going to give you a voice
  • 00:11:12.864 --> 00:11:14.232
  • And let redemption speak to the nations.
  • 00:11:14.232 --> 00:11:16.401
  • I don't know what that looks like,
  • 00:11:16.401 --> 00:11:18.036
  • I don't know about san jose,
  • 00:11:18.036 --> 00:11:19.637
  • I don't know about tv network,
  • 00:11:19.637 --> 00:11:21.306
  • I don't know what you're going to speak to the nations,
  • 00:11:21.306 --> 00:11:23.608
  • Even me!
  • 00:11:23.608 --> 00:11:25.009
  • Cannot be a dream.

  • - i just want to tell you (upbeat music)
  • 00:11:44.662 --> 00:11:45.964
  • That i appreciate so much you being with us
  • 00:11:45.964 --> 00:11:47.499
  • As a part of this series.
  • 00:11:47.499 --> 00:11:49.067
  • Have you enjoyed it?
  • 00:11:49.067 --> 00:11:50.702
  • I have. i have absolutely.
  • 00:11:50.702 --> 00:11:52.537
  • You know, it's amazing,
  • 00:11:52.537 --> 00:11:54.072
  • What you're preaching and what's on your lips, many times,
  • 00:11:54.072 --> 00:11:56.708
  • Is what's happening.
  • 00:11:56.708 --> 00:11:58.576
  • And my wife has always told me, she said,
  • 00:11:58.576 --> 00:12:00.278
  • "it never fails that whatever it is you're speaking about
  • 00:12:00.278 --> 00:12:02.814
  • Seems to be the thing that's breaking out in our life."
  • 00:12:02.814 --> 00:12:04.949
  • Well, the power of life and death is in the tongue,
  • 00:12:04.949 --> 00:12:07.352
  • So i hope, and i pray, and believe
  • 00:12:07.352 --> 00:12:09.621
  • That the favor of god is not just a message or a teaching
  • 00:12:09.621 --> 00:12:12.524
  • That you're enjoying,
  • 00:12:12.524 --> 00:12:13.992
  • But i just pray that it's breaking out on your life
  • 00:12:13.992 --> 00:12:16.161
  • From the right and from the left,
  • 00:12:16.161 --> 00:12:17.562
  • And god is just doing great things.
  • 00:12:17.562 --> 00:12:19.531
  • Because there's nothing like when favor breaks out on you
  • 00:12:19.531 --> 00:12:23.334
  • And all this unexplained blessing
  • 00:12:23.334 --> 00:12:25.737
  • Just starts manifesting in your life.
  • 00:12:25.737 --> 00:12:27.372
  • I hope that you're enjoying these messages.
  • 00:12:27.372 --> 00:12:29.040
  • Thank you to all of you that help us do what we do
  • 00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:31.776
  • And help keep us on the air.
  • 00:12:31.776 --> 00:12:33.478
  • I was just saying last week
  • 00:12:33.478 --> 00:12:35.547
  • That we have increased our prayer programming
  • 00:12:35.547 --> 00:12:38.249
  • And airing time by about 200% since the first of the year.
  • 00:12:38.249 --> 00:12:42.120
  • We've gone from one network to five different networks,
  • 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.657
  • And god has been good and answered our prayer.
  • 00:12:45.657 --> 00:12:48.026
  • I've been telling you expansion was coming,
  • 00:12:48.026 --> 00:12:49.961
  • That we had the opportunity, and god has brought it.
  • 00:12:49.961 --> 00:12:52.730
  • We've seized the moment,
  • 00:12:52.730 --> 00:12:54.098
  • And we were able to because of your support.
  • 00:12:54.098 --> 00:12:58.002
  • Thank you.
  • 00:12:58.303 --> 00:12:59.604
  • Thank you that you believe in us.
  • 00:12:59.604 --> 00:13:01.039
  • We do not show commercials, and we do not sell ads,
  • 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.309
  • This is viewer and listener supported.
  • 00:13:04.309 --> 00:13:06.978
  • And the fact that you feel the umption of god,
  • 00:13:06.978 --> 00:13:09.414
  • And god moving you in such a way
  • 00:13:09.414 --> 00:13:11.616
  • To participate in making sure that this stays on
  • 00:13:11.616 --> 00:13:14.285
  • And we can preach the gospel
  • 00:13:14.285 --> 00:13:15.553
  • To as much of the world as we can reach,
  • 00:13:15.553 --> 00:13:17.689
  • We do not take that for granted,
  • 00:13:17.689 --> 00:13:19.357
  • And we say a hearty thank you
  • 00:13:19.357 --> 00:13:21.092
  • From me and everyone here at ron carpenter television.
  • 00:13:21.092 --> 00:13:23.661
  • And i want to encourage more to give.
  • 00:13:23.661 --> 00:13:25.296
  • If you have been giving, would you continue?
  • 00:13:25.296 --> 00:13:27.565
  • If you've never given to a ministry,
  • 00:13:27.565 --> 00:13:29.334
  • Or maybe you've just seen this and said,
  • 00:13:29.334 --> 00:13:30.802
  • "it's blessing me.
  • 00:13:30.802 --> 00:13:31.903
  • You know what? i want to give back.
  • 00:13:31.903 --> 00:13:33.838
  • It's blessed me, i want to bless it back."
  • 00:13:33.838 --> 00:13:36.507
  • Well, you can do that as a one-time gift.
  • 00:13:36.507 --> 00:13:38.276
  • But even more importantly,
  • 00:13:38.276 --> 00:13:39.510
  • You can become a monthly covenant partner,
  • 00:13:39.510 --> 00:13:41.813
  • Where we correspond with you, build relationship with you,
  • 00:13:41.813 --> 00:13:44.816
  • And try to keep you abreast
  • 00:13:44.816 --> 00:13:46.184
  • Of everything that's going on here at the ministry.
  • 00:13:46.184 --> 00:13:48.286
  • So for your first gift of any amount,
  • 00:13:48.286 --> 00:13:50.588
  • Doesn't matter what it is,
  • 00:13:50.588 --> 00:13:52.390
  • This is the gift that we're going to give you to say thank you.
  • 00:13:52.390 --> 00:13:53.958
  • We want to let you know you are valuable to us
  • 00:13:53.958 --> 00:13:56.394
  • And we do not take you for granted.
  • 00:13:56.394 --> 00:13:58.696
  • But also, we are so very aware of all the possibilities,
  • 00:13:58.696 --> 00:14:02.467
  • Media-wise, of touching large, large worlds
  • 00:14:02.467 --> 00:14:04.769
  • That i can never touch with my hand,
  • 00:14:04.769 --> 00:14:06.671
  • But we can do it through these cameras.
  • 00:14:06.671 --> 00:14:08.373
  • Would you help us?
  • 00:14:08.373 --> 00:14:09.540
  • Thank you for all that you do.
  • 00:14:09.540 --> 00:14:10.842
  • Now let's get back to this word.
  • 00:14:10.842 --> 00:14:12.877
  • The bible says, 1 corinthians 13,
  • 00:14:13.611 --> 00:14:15.313
  • "when i was a child,
  • 00:14:15.313 --> 00:14:16.748
  • I thought like a child,
  • 00:14:16.748 --> 00:14:18.216
  • I spoke like a child,
  • 00:14:18.216 --> 00:14:19.417
  • I understood as a child."
  • 00:14:19.417 --> 00:14:21.452
  • So childishness is defined in three characteristics:
  • 00:14:21.452 --> 00:14:25.690
  • The way you think,
  • 00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:26.524
  • The way you speak,
  • 00:14:26.524 --> 00:14:27.458
  • And the way you understand.
  • 00:14:27.458 --> 00:14:28.826
  • (congregation members applauding)
  • 00:14:29.594 --> 00:14:33.598
  • But when i became a man, i put childish things,
  • 00:14:33.598 --> 00:14:37.068
  • (congregation members applauding)
  • 00:14:37.068 --> 00:14:40.338
  • I put that crazy speaking and talking, that crazy thinking,
  • 00:14:40.338 --> 00:14:44.509
  • And understanding everything through my tiny filtering lens,
  • 00:14:44.509 --> 00:14:51.416
  • I put all that away.
  • 00:14:51.883 --> 00:14:53.751
  • So until those three areas come to a place of maturity,
  • 00:14:54.852 --> 00:14:58.489
  • Inheritance and everything god has for you
  • 00:14:58.489 --> 00:15:00.658
  • Is slightly out of reach.
  • 00:15:00.658 --> 00:15:02.994
  • So what does god want to do?
  • 00:15:02.994 --> 00:15:04.829
  • He wants to raise you to the place of maturity.
  • 00:15:04.829 --> 00:15:06.965
  • Go back to the first one. let me read it all again.
  • 00:15:06.965 --> 00:15:09.801
  • Are y'all mad at me? is this all right?
  • 00:15:09.801 --> 00:15:11.803
  • In the balcony, somebody say amen in the balcony?
  • 00:15:11.803 --> 00:15:13.638
  • - [congregation member] amen.
  • 00:15:13.638 --> 00:15:14.605
  • - [congregation members] amen.
  • 00:15:14.605 --> 00:15:17.075
  • - "an heir, as long as they're a child,
  • 00:15:17.075 --> 00:15:19.310
  • Differs not from a slave,
  • 00:15:19.310 --> 00:15:20.845
  • Though he's positioned, he's really in charge of all of it,"
  • 00:15:20.845 --> 00:15:23.548
  • Verse two, "but is under guardians and stewards."
  • 00:15:23.548 --> 00:15:29.520
  • God will lock your destiny up in somebody else.
  • 00:15:30.488 --> 00:15:35.526
  • - [congregation member] come on.
  • 00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:36.995
  • Come on.
  • 00:15:36.995 --> 00:15:39.030
  • Come on.
  • 00:15:39.297 --> 00:15:40.732
  • - and it cannot be unlocked until you honor them.
  • 00:15:40.732 --> 00:15:44.335
  • (congregation members cheering)
  • 00:15:44.969 --> 00:15:46.604
  • - [congregation member] preach for power, ron!
  • 00:15:46.604 --> 00:15:48.639
  • - somebody back there knows,
  • 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.540
  • I'm preaching a word.
  • 00:15:49.540 --> 00:15:51.109
  • (congregation members applauding)
  • 00:15:51.109 --> 00:15:55.780
  • We disrespect our elders,
  • 00:15:56.347 --> 00:15:59.684
  • We disrespect others.
  • 00:16:00.184 --> 00:16:02.320
  • (ron groaning)
  • 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.222
  • "pastor, how do i get these people in my life then
  • 00:16:04.222 --> 00:16:06.791
  • If what you're telling me is true?
  • 00:16:06.791 --> 00:16:08.192
  • There's this great void in my life."
  • 00:16:08.192 --> 00:16:10.361
  • What you respect moves towards you.
  • 00:16:11.095 --> 00:16:14.632
  • - [congregation member] come on.
  • 00:16:14.632 --> 00:16:15.933
  • - what you disrespect moves away from you.
  • 00:16:15.933 --> 00:16:20.772
  • Some of you disrespect money,
  • 00:16:21.406 --> 00:16:23.941
  • So it's constantly moving.
  • 00:16:24.509 --> 00:16:26.778
  • (congregation members affirming)
  • 00:16:26.778 --> 00:16:32.650
  • I've heard preachers say,
  • 00:16:33.217 --> 00:16:34.786
  • "oh, we had all these doctors and lawyers in the church."
  • 00:16:34.786 --> 00:16:37.021
  • Guess what they don't have in their church?
  • 00:16:37.021 --> 00:16:39.257
  • Doctors and lawyers.
  • 00:16:39.257 --> 00:16:40.425
  • You know why?
  • 00:16:40.425 --> 00:16:41.859
  • Because the pulpit disrespects them, so they move.
  • 00:16:41.859 --> 00:16:46.631
  • What you honor and respect moves towards you.
  • 00:16:47.565 --> 00:16:50.902
  • What you disrespect moves away.
  • 00:16:51.536 --> 00:16:54.372
  • There's certain pastors,
  • 00:16:54.372 --> 00:16:55.606
  • They only respect one race of people,
  • 00:16:55.606 --> 00:16:56.941
  • So their churches has one race,
  • 00:16:56.941 --> 00:16:59.677
  • And every other race.
  • 00:16:59.677 --> 00:17:02.246
  • - [congregation member] it's true.
  • 00:17:03.014 --> 00:17:04.182
  • (congregation members applauding)
  • 00:17:04.182 --> 00:17:06.150
  • - i'm trying, i don't know,
  • 00:17:06.150 --> 00:17:07.351
  • I'm getting these golf course claps.
  • 00:17:07.351 --> 00:17:08.586
  • (congregation members applauding)
  • 00:17:08.586 --> 00:17:17.962
  • Do i still have any friends in california? i don't know.
  • 00:17:19.097 --> 00:17:21.099
  • - [congregation members] yeah.
  • 00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:24.802
  • - "but is under stewards and guardians until the time."
  • 00:17:25.903 --> 00:17:32.143
  • See, probably, i got so much,
  • 00:17:32.777 --> 00:17:35.746
  • You know, i've only been here what, seven, eight years?
  • 00:17:35.746 --> 00:17:37.648
  • I got so much i want to teach.
  • 00:17:37.648 --> 00:17:39.283
  • I've never taught on inheritance.
  • 00:17:39.283 --> 00:17:41.652
  • I don't think.
  • 00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:43.154
  • I may have referred to a scripture,
  • 00:17:43.154 --> 00:17:44.422
  • But i've never taught on it.
  • 00:17:44.422 --> 00:17:46.257
  • I've taught you about harvest.
  • 00:17:46.257 --> 00:17:48.793
  • Seed time, harvest.
  • 00:17:49.260 --> 00:17:51.863
  • Harvest is a result of something you do.
  • 00:17:50.528 --> 00:17:56.234
  • I make a decision here,
  • 00:17:56.734 --> 00:17:59.737
  • And then i reap it over here.
  • 00:17:59.737 --> 00:18:02.607
  • So harvest is temporary,
  • 00:18:03.107 --> 00:18:06.344
  • It is reoccurring,
  • 00:18:06.344 --> 00:18:08.012
  • You have to constantly plant to constantly have harvest.
  • 00:18:08.012 --> 00:18:12.517
  • So the way i have no dry season
  • 00:18:12.517 --> 00:18:14.952
  • Is to have no dry seed season.
  • 00:18:14.952 --> 00:18:17.388
  • - [congregation member] come on.
  • 00:18:18.022 --> 00:18:19.390
  • - okay? because seed time and harvest is cyclical.
  • 00:18:19.390 --> 00:18:23.194
  • Inheritance is not.
  • 00:18:23.661 --> 00:18:25.563
  • Inheritance has nothing to do with what you do.
  • 00:18:26.497 --> 00:18:29.600
  • Inheritance has to do with who's your daddy.
  • 00:18:29.600 --> 00:18:32.103
  • (congregation members laughing)
  • 00:18:32.103 --> 00:18:33.538
  • - [congregation member] come on!
  • 00:18:33.538 --> 00:18:35.273
  • (congregation members applauding)
  • 00:18:35.273 --> 00:18:37.942
  • - and i don't know anything about your earthly daddy,
  • 00:18:37.942 --> 00:18:40.011
  • But you have a heavenly father,
  • 00:18:40.011 --> 00:18:42.079
  • That is el shaddai,
  • 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.514
  • The lord god almighty, jehovah rapha,
  • 00:18:43.514 --> 00:18:46.417
  • I am the lord that heals thee,
  • 00:18:46.417 --> 00:18:47.818
  • (church organ music)
  • 00:18:47.818 --> 00:18:49.020
  • Jehovah jireh, the lord, my provider,
  • 00:18:49.020 --> 00:18:51.389
  • Elohim, jehovah nissi, my banner of victory.
  • 00:18:51.389 --> 00:18:55.092
  • You have a heavenly father, and you are an heir,
  • 00:18:55.092 --> 00:18:58.196
  • And if you are in christ, you have an inheritance.
  • 00:18:58.196 --> 00:19:00.898
  • And your heavenly father has something to you.
  • 00:19:00.898 --> 00:19:03.234
  • Give your god 10 seconds of praise if you believe.
  • 00:19:03.234 --> 00:19:05.670
  • (congregation cheering)
  • 00:19:05.670 --> 00:19:07.038
  • "there is something out there that god has for me,
  • 00:19:07.038 --> 00:19:08.873
  • It is my inheritance!"
  • 00:19:08.873 --> 00:19:09.974
  • Shout hallelujah!
  • 00:19:09.974 --> 00:19:12.610
  • Hey!
  • 00:19:12.810 --> 00:19:14.178
  • High five your neighbor,
  • 00:19:14.178 --> 00:19:15.513
  • Say, "inheritance, inheritance, inheritance."
  • 00:19:15.513 --> 00:19:17.114
  • - [congregation members] inheritance,
  • 00:19:17.114 --> 00:19:18.082
  • Inheritance, inheritance.
  • 00:19:18.082 --> 00:19:20.518
  • Lord, did you say go back to verse,
  • 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.621
  • Ruth, chapter three, go to verse three.
  • 00:19:23.621 --> 00:19:25.890
  • "therefore, wash yourself,
  • 00:19:26.457 --> 00:19:28.960
  • Anoint yourself,
  • 00:19:29.327 --> 00:19:30.361
  • Put on your best garment."
  • 00:19:30.361 --> 00:19:32.563
  • Wash yourself. i talked about this.
  • 00:19:32.563 --> 00:19:36.133
  • Ephesians 5, put it on the screen. i'll end with this one.
  • 00:19:37.268 --> 00:19:40.271
  • I read it last week, but i need to drill down in it,
  • 00:19:40.271 --> 00:19:42.607
  • I just hit the top of it.
  • 00:19:42.607 --> 00:19:44.742
  • Now this, ephesians 5,
  • 00:19:45.243 --> 00:19:48.145
  • Is talking about the marriage relationship.
  • 00:19:48.145 --> 00:19:51.515
  • I don't want to talk about that right now,
  • 00:19:52.416 --> 00:19:54.619
  • But i want to pull the principle out of it
  • 00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:56.554
  • That he's talking about.
  • 00:19:56.554 --> 00:19:58.456
  • Right now, it's being applied to marriage,
  • 00:19:58.456 --> 00:20:00.391
  • But the principle supersedes this application.
  • 00:20:00.391 --> 00:20:03.527
  • Husbands love your wives,
  • 00:20:03.527 --> 00:20:05.830
  • Just as christ loved the church and gave himself for her,
  • 00:20:05.830 --> 00:20:09.433
  • That he might sanctify,
  • 00:20:09.934 --> 00:20:12.336
  • Cleanse her with the washing of water by the word."
  • 00:20:13.371 --> 00:20:24.649
  • She told her, she said,
  • 00:20:25.149 --> 00:20:26.717
  • "you cannot show up at boaz' house looking like a beggar."
  • 00:20:26.717 --> 00:20:34.492
  • This "wash yourself" has the connotation to it,
  • 00:20:35.426 --> 00:20:38.596
  • Not letting your past affect your future.
  • 00:20:38.596 --> 00:20:43.200
  • Not bringing that into this.
  • 00:20:43.801 --> 00:20:47.505
  • Don't make the relationship, the new one,
  • 00:20:48.372 --> 00:20:50.775
  • Pay for the last two.
  • 00:20:50.775 --> 00:20:52.743
  • (congregation members applauding)
  • 00:20:52.743 --> 00:20:54.945
  • You got to wash the last two
  • 00:20:54.945 --> 00:20:57.481
  • So that you don't make willie pay for what bobby did.
  • 00:20:58.549 --> 00:21:01.719
  • Y'all ain't saying nothing.
  • 00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:03.788
  • (congregation members affirming)
  • 00:21:03.788 --> 00:21:05.089
  • Willie and bobby are kinda southern names,
  • 00:21:05.089 --> 00:21:06.390
  • But y'all know what i mean.
  • 00:21:06.390 --> 00:21:07.558
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:21:07.558 --> 00:21:11.595
  • That you don't go into the next job
  • 00:21:11.595 --> 00:21:14.065
  • With the disappointment of the last one.
  • 00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:18.069
  • That you don't open your next business,
  • 00:21:18.936 --> 00:21:20.671
  • And all that's going through your head
  • 00:21:20.671 --> 00:21:22.306
  • Is the failure of the last one.
  • 00:21:22.306 --> 00:21:24.642
  • Wash your face, you'll look better.
  • 00:21:25.443 --> 00:21:27.078
  • You have been traumatized,
  • 00:21:27.078 --> 00:21:29.046
  • You have been through tremendous loss,
  • 00:21:29.046 --> 00:21:31.248
  • You have seen every person just about that you care about
  • 00:21:31.248 --> 00:21:34.385
  • Either die or leave you,
  • 00:21:34.385 --> 00:21:36.153
  • And you are in a destitute situation.
  • 00:21:36.153 --> 00:21:38.389
  • But you are about to come into your day,
  • 00:21:38.389 --> 00:21:41.659
  • And you can't come here looking like there.
  • 00:21:41.659 --> 00:21:44.428
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:21:44.428 --> 00:21:45.629
  • Wash your face, ruth.
  • 00:21:45.629 --> 00:21:47.765
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:21:47.765 --> 00:21:49.266
  • We going to clean up,
  • 00:21:49.266 --> 00:21:50.334
  • We going to wash that hair,
  • 00:21:50.334 --> 00:21:51.535
  • We going to get to smelling better.
  • 00:21:51.535 --> 00:21:52.903
  • Come on.
  • 00:21:52.903 --> 00:21:53.871
  • We going to get a pedicure,
  • 00:21:53.871 --> 00:21:55.206
  • We going to get that crunch off your heel.
  • 00:21:55.206 --> 00:21:56.640
  • Come on, somebody.
  • 00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:57.908
  • We going to get your fingernails done,
  • 00:21:57.908 --> 00:21:59.410
  • We going to get the dirt out from under your eyes
  • 00:21:59.410 --> 00:22:01.345
  • And between your toes,
  • 00:22:01.345 --> 00:22:02.580
  • We going to put on your best garment.
  • 00:22:02.580 --> 00:22:04.448
  • And when you get to boaz,
  • 00:22:04.448 --> 00:22:05.916
  • He's going to think you were made for him.
  • 00:22:05.916 --> 00:22:08.452
  • He's not going to look at you like a project,
  • 00:22:08.452 --> 00:22:10.354
  • (church organ playing)
  • 00:22:10.354 --> 00:22:11.655
  • He's going to look at you like a treasure.
  • 00:22:11.655 --> 00:22:13.858
  • Somebody shout, hallelujah.
  • 00:22:14.458 --> 00:22:17.728
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:22:18.295 --> 00:22:23.067
  • - [congregation member] yes!
  • 00:22:23.667 --> 00:22:28.773
  • - so he said, the word does three things.
  • 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:34.945
  • You say, "how do i wash myself? what does that even mean?"
  • 00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:38.582
  • Its new testament application is, you take the word,
  • 00:22:38.582 --> 00:22:42.052
  • And it sanctifies you.
  • 00:22:42.052 --> 00:22:43.621
  • The word sanctify there, in the greek,
  • 00:22:43.621 --> 00:22:45.556
  • Are you ready for this?
  • 00:22:45.556 --> 00:22:46.857
  • Means to remove and distance from trauma.
  • 00:22:46.857 --> 00:22:51.095
  • (congregation affirming and applauding)
  • 00:22:51.095 --> 00:22:56.901
  • So what hurt you
  • 00:22:57.268 --> 00:22:59.437
  • And what deeply affected you,
  • 00:23:00.070 --> 00:23:02.640
  • The word will start putting lines of separation
  • 00:23:03.641 --> 00:23:06.977
  • Between you and it
  • 00:23:06.977 --> 00:23:08.345
  • And start putting distance between it and you.
  • 00:23:08.345 --> 00:23:10.614
  • And what used to hurt you can't hurt you no more.
  • 00:23:10.614 --> 00:23:13.117
  • And what used to make you mad can't kick you off anymore.
  • 00:23:13.117 --> 00:23:16.187
  • And how you used to lose your temper,
  • 00:23:16.187 --> 00:23:17.922
  • You don't lose it anymore. (church organ playing)
  • 00:23:17.922 --> 00:23:19.457
  • And how you used to slap your head and pop your neck,
  • 00:23:19.457 --> 00:23:22.159
  • You ain't popping your neck no more.
  • 00:23:22.159 --> 00:23:23.894
  • Why? because the word has distanced you between your trauma.
  • 00:23:23.894 --> 00:23:28.966
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:23:29.533 --> 00:23:32.470
  • That word, "cleanse,"
  • 00:23:32.470 --> 00:23:36.974
  • Means to remove mixture.
  • 00:23:37.475 --> 00:23:43.380
  • The word will not let you intermingle
  • 00:23:44.181 --> 00:23:47.451
  • Your old life with your new one.
  • 00:23:47.451 --> 00:23:51.789
  • The word will not take you out,
  • 00:23:52.423 --> 00:23:54.758
  • It will bring you all the way out.
  • 00:23:54.758 --> 00:23:57.761
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:23:57.761 --> 00:23:59.096
  • Next week, i'm talking about anoint yourself.
  • 00:23:59.096 --> 00:24:00.664
  • You know what that means? to put on the new man.
  • 00:24:00.664 --> 00:24:04.368
  • You put off the old, and you put on the new,
  • 00:24:05.269 --> 00:24:07.838
  • You do not mix the two.
  • 00:24:07.838 --> 00:24:09.673
  • (congregation applauding) (congregation affirming)
  • 00:24:09.673 --> 00:24:11.509
  • So you don't go to boaz,
  • 00:24:11.509 --> 00:24:13.410
  • But you still got a little bit of that old language.
  • 00:24:13.410 --> 00:24:17.114
  • You still got a little bit of that old attitude.
  • 00:24:17.114 --> 00:24:19.450
  • Come on, say that you still got a little.
  • 00:24:19.450 --> 00:24:21.552
  • (congregation affirming)
  • 00:24:21.552 --> 00:24:24.255
  • And then he says he takes the word, and he washes,
  • 00:24:24.255 --> 00:24:26.991
  • That word, "washes,"
  • 00:24:26.991 --> 00:24:28.125
  • We got 75 people getting baptized today,
  • 00:24:28.125 --> 00:24:30.294
  • It actually means to immerse and baptize.
  • 00:24:30.294 --> 00:24:33.097
  • (congregation applauding)
  • 00:24:33.097 --> 00:24:34.532
  • It means that god will immerse you in your purpose,
  • 00:24:34.532 --> 00:24:39.236
  • To where your past will never be recognized
  • 00:24:40.137 --> 00:24:42.006
  • As a part of your life again.
  • 00:24:42.006 --> 00:24:43.173
  • (congregation applauding and cheering)
  • 00:24:43.173 --> 00:24:47.945
  • Would somebody just throw your hands in the air right now
  • 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:50.514
  • If you believe god has something for your life?
  • 00:24:50.514 --> 00:24:53.117
  • I just believe i pastor a people of destiny.
  • 00:24:53.117 --> 00:24:56.153
  • (church organ playing)
  • 00:24:56.153 --> 00:24:57.254
  • I do not believe you're normal,
  • 00:24:57.254 --> 00:24:59.490
  • I do not believe you're common,
  • 00:24:59.490 --> 00:25:01.825
  • I believe that everybody that god has given me the ear of,
  • 00:25:01.825 --> 00:25:06.330
  • That you have something significant on your life.
  • 00:25:06.330 --> 00:25:09.567
  • And i'm telling you,
  • 00:25:09.567 --> 00:25:10.834
  • I said it last week and i'm going to repeat it,
  • 00:25:10.834 --> 00:25:12.870
  • Some of you may be 1, 2, 3 instructions away
  • 00:25:12.870 --> 00:25:18.409
  • From your life taking a radical, radical change.
  • 00:25:19.376 --> 00:25:24.014
  • God, bring these voices into our life,
  • 00:25:24.848 --> 00:25:27.818
  • In jesus' name, and everybody said, amen.
  • 00:25:27.818 --> 00:25:30.220
  • Would you clap your hands?
  • 00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:31.388
  • (congregation applauding and cheering)
  • 00:25:31.388 --> 00:25:33.090
  • Before we go, (upbeat music)
  • 00:25:33.090 --> 00:25:34.358
  • I want to give a chance for you to accept christ
  • 00:25:34.358 --> 00:25:35.759
  • As your lord and savior.
  • 00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:37.061
  • Can i just tell you what i'm sensing right now?
  • 00:25:37.061 --> 00:25:38.696
  • I'm sensing that there's those
  • 00:25:38.696 --> 00:25:40.030
  • That may have known the lord at some time,
  • 00:25:40.030 --> 00:25:41.632
  • But you're just, for whatever reason,
  • 00:25:41.632 --> 00:25:43.601
  • You've come across this programming and you just stayed.
  • 00:25:43.601 --> 00:25:46.370
  • "i don't even know why, but pastor, i just watched it.
  • 00:25:46.370 --> 00:25:48.439
  • I don't know."
  • 00:25:48.439 --> 00:25:49.974
  • But maybe there's just a tug at your heart to come back.
  • 00:25:49.974 --> 00:25:53.010
  • I know what that's like, to have been raised right,
  • 00:25:54.011 --> 00:25:57.247
  • And accepted christ at a young age,
  • 00:25:57.247 --> 00:26:00.050
  • But you know, just, life happens,
  • 00:26:00.050 --> 00:26:01.318
  • And i had to circle around and come back
  • 00:26:01.318 --> 00:26:03.087
  • And make that commitment fresh and new
  • 00:26:03.087 --> 00:26:06.023
  • When i got to college.
  • 00:26:06.523 --> 00:26:08.192
  • And maybe that's where you are now.
  • 00:26:08.192 --> 00:26:09.727
  • It doesn't matter what you've done, or how old you are,
  • 00:26:09.727 --> 00:26:11.795
  • Or how far away you feel like you are,
  • 00:26:11.795 --> 00:26:14.198
  • It's not based on what you do anyway,
  • 00:26:14.198 --> 00:26:16.200
  • It's based on what he's done for you.
  • 00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:18.235
  • And all you got to do is receive it,
  • 00:26:18.235 --> 00:26:19.970
  • And salvation and forgiveness is yours right now.
  • 00:26:19.970 --> 00:26:22.706
  • Would you pray this prayer with me?
  • 00:26:22.706 --> 00:26:24.241
  • Thank you, jesus,
  • 00:26:24.241 --> 00:26:25.943
  • That you're full of love, and grace, and mercy.
  • 00:26:25.943 --> 00:26:27.745
  • Thank you that you're a god of many chances.
  • 00:26:27.745 --> 00:26:30.414
  • So, right now, i ask you into my heart,
  • 00:26:30.414 --> 00:26:32.583
  • I come back and i recommit my life to you.
  • 00:26:32.583 --> 00:26:35.619
  • I ask you to wash me, and cleanse me,
  • 00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:37.454
  • And forgive me of my sins.
  • 00:26:37.454 --> 00:26:39.690
  • I ask you, lord, to come live in me,
  • 00:26:39.690 --> 00:26:40.991
  • Be my lord and savior.
  • 00:26:40.991 --> 00:26:41.992
  • I believe you died
  • 00:26:41.992 --> 00:26:43.327
  • And rose on the third day for my salvation.
  • 00:26:43.327 --> 00:26:45.195
  • I accept your gift now.
  • 00:26:45.195 --> 00:26:47.364
  • In jesus' name, thank you.
  • 00:26:47.931 --> 00:26:50.167
  • Amen.
  • 00:26:50.167 --> 00:26:51.502
