  • - the anointing is not just
  • 00:00:01.217 --> 00:00:02.786
  • For people with microphones and on stage.
  • 00:00:02.786 --> 00:00:05.555
  • Wherever you go, you're carrying the holy spirit with you.
  • 00:00:05.555 --> 00:00:08.892
  • God shows up when you show up.
  • 00:00:08.892 --> 00:00:11.194
  • God shows up to the fever when you show up.
  • 00:00:11.194 --> 00:00:13.897
  • God shows up with a miracle when you show up,
  • 00:00:13.897 --> 00:00:16.599
  • Whatever god's going to do, he's going to use you to do it.
  • 00:00:16.599 --> 00:00:19.602
  • Somebody say, i'm the miracle.
  • 00:00:19.602 --> 00:00:21.738
  • So god said, "i'm not just going break the thing
  • 00:00:21.738 --> 00:00:24.107
  • Off your neck," he said, "but the weight that it is put
  • 00:00:24.107 --> 00:00:26.910
  • On you and everybody around you,
  • 00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:28.912
  • I'm going to lift that weight."
  • 00:00:28.912 --> 00:00:30.447
  • That's why when jesus came on the scene, look what he said,
  • 00:00:30.447 --> 00:00:33.416
  • "take my yoke upon you."
  • 00:00:33.416 --> 00:00:35.218
  • Ahh! "surely, goodness and mercy.
  • 00:00:35.218 --> 00:00:38.421
  • Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
  • 00:00:38.421 --> 00:00:42.158
  • Of my life and i will dwell in his house forever."
  • 00:00:42.158 --> 00:00:44.861
  • Shout, hallelujah!
  • 00:00:44.861 --> 00:00:46.362
  • "his yolk is easy. his burden is light."
  • 00:00:46.362 --> 00:00:49.966
  • (bright upbeat music)
  • 00:00:49.966 --> 00:00:59.375
  • (bright upbeat music continues)
  • 00:01:00.009 --> 00:01:06.382
  • (bright upbeat music fades)
  • 00:01:06.983 --> 00:01:09.953
  • I am preaching good, it█s already good
  • 00:01:09.953 --> 00:01:13.890
  • Now, let's just be vulnerable a minute
  • 00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:15.391
  • And i'm the first one with my hand up.
  • 00:01:15.391 --> 00:01:16.626
  • How many of you have experienced some type
  • 00:01:16.626 --> 00:01:18.094
  • Of groundhog day in your life in some area of your life?
  • 00:01:18.094 --> 00:01:20.430
  • Yeah. okay.
  • 00:01:20.430 --> 00:01:21.898
  • I want to talk about that
  • 00:01:21.898 --> 00:01:23.133
  • And the reasons for it in the next few minutes
  • 00:01:23.133 --> 00:01:24.601
  • And some of you waiting for me to preach,
  • 00:01:24.601 --> 00:01:26.136
  • I don't know how much i'm going to holler and sweat today.
  • 00:01:26.136 --> 00:01:29.405
  • I just have information.
  • 00:01:29.405 --> 00:01:31.474
  • It's going to change your life
  • 00:01:32.108 --> 00:01:34.177
  • And i want to make sure i communicate it and communicate well.
  • 00:01:34.177 --> 00:01:36.446
  • I've got written stuff.
  • 00:01:36.446 --> 00:01:37.614
  • I've got stuff in magic marker.
  • 00:01:37.614 --> 00:01:39.149
  • I got my ipad.
  • 00:01:39.149 --> 00:01:40.583
  • I told them, i said, "i can't do my ipad stand today.
  • 00:01:40.583 --> 00:01:42.085
  • I need a whole table."
  • 00:01:42.085 --> 00:01:43.920
  • So i'm going to take these next 20, 25 minutes
  • 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.556
  • And give you some great stuff.
  • 00:01:46.556 --> 00:01:48.625
  • Science calls it nature versus nurture.
  • 00:01:49.425 --> 00:01:52.762
  • The bible calls it generational curses versus yolks.
  • 00:01:53.796 --> 00:02:01.671
  • Nature is what happens to you.
  • 00:02:02.305 --> 00:02:04.440
  • Nurture is what was in you when you got here
  • 00:02:05.375 --> 00:02:09.646
  • And that's what science tries to say.
  • 00:02:10.446 --> 00:02:11.814
  • Which one's the most popular?
  • 00:02:11.814 --> 00:02:13.049
  • They're, i mean, which one's the most powerful?
  • 00:02:13.049 --> 00:02:14.350
  • They're both very powerful.
  • 00:02:14.350 --> 00:02:16.119
  • And then we come over to the bible
  • 00:02:16.886 --> 00:02:18.655
  • And i talked to you last week
  • 00:02:18.655 --> 00:02:19.889
  • About generational curses that go three
  • 00:02:19.889 --> 00:02:22.692
  • And four generations deep.
  • 00:02:22.692 --> 00:02:24.194
  • That when that baby is born,
  • 00:02:24.194 --> 00:02:25.962
  • There's something inside of it called inequity.
  • 00:02:25.962 --> 00:02:28.631
  • And that word, inequity means bent.
  • 00:02:28.631 --> 00:02:30.633
  • So when that child is born,
  • 00:02:30.633 --> 00:02:32.235
  • He hasn't had any tv shows to watch.
  • 00:02:32.235 --> 00:02:35.471
  • He hasn't had a phone, never been on the internet,
  • 00:02:35.471 --> 00:02:37.640
  • Never been exposed to anything.
  • 00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:40.043
  • And he's already got momentum on the inside of him,
  • 00:02:40.043 --> 00:02:43.479
  • Taking him toward a certain lifestyle, already.
  • 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.750
  • And it's called generational curse.
  • 00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:49.185
  • It's called the inequity of the fathers visiting
  • 00:02:49.185 --> 00:02:51.955
  • The third and fourth generation.
  • 00:02:51.955 --> 00:02:53.389
  • I read it to you in exodus 20 last week.
  • 00:02:53.389 --> 00:02:55.725
  • And we talked about those inequities and we talked
  • 00:02:55.725 --> 00:02:57.927
  • About the fact that jesus was wounded for transgressions.
  • 00:02:57.927 --> 00:03:01.097
  • Those are your outward sins,
  • 00:03:01.097 --> 00:03:02.765
  • But he was bruised for inequity.
  • 00:03:02.765 --> 00:03:04.667
  • He bled on the inside for the wheel
  • 00:03:04.667 --> 00:03:06.936
  • That you've got turning on the inside.
  • 00:03:06.936 --> 00:03:08.972
  • He bled on the inside for the things on the inside
  • 00:03:08.972 --> 00:03:12.308
  • Of you that's trying to carry you
  • 00:03:12.308 --> 00:03:13.610
  • In a certain lifestyle that sabotages you.
  • 00:03:13.610 --> 00:03:16.145
  • He bled for what you did outwardly,
  • 00:03:16.145 --> 00:03:18.581
  • And he bled for the struggle that you
  • 00:03:18.581 --> 00:03:20.350
  • Don't want anybody to know about.
  • 00:03:20.350 --> 00:03:22.452
  • (congregation applauds)
  • 00:03:22.452 --> 00:03:23.987
  • So you are absolutely saved
  • 00:03:23.987 --> 00:03:26.055
  • Even if you're still experiencing the struggle.
  • 00:03:26.055 --> 00:03:29.125
  • - [congregation member] that's right. that's right.
  • 00:03:29.125 --> 00:03:30.860
  • - jesus bought forgiveness for that, okay?
  • 00:03:30.860 --> 00:03:35.498
  • Generational curses are the things
  • 00:03:35.498 --> 00:03:37.367
  • That are passed through bloodlines,
  • 00:03:37.367 --> 00:03:39.469
  • Just like brown eyes, just like blonde hair
  • 00:03:39.469 --> 00:03:41.604
  • Just like tall, skinny, chubby, thick, fat,
  • 00:03:41.604 --> 00:03:43.940
  • Whatever we want to call them.
  • 00:03:43.940 --> 00:03:45.174
  • Those things can all be passed,
  • 00:03:45.174 --> 00:03:47.210
  • But those are not the only things you get from your parents.
  • 00:03:47.210 --> 00:03:49.946
  • I told you last week,
  • 00:03:49.946 --> 00:03:51.180
  • Even the medical field knows when you come in,
  • 00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:54.017
  • They start asking,
  • 00:03:54.017 --> 00:03:55.485
  • "well, did your daddy have high blood pressure?
  • 00:03:55.485 --> 00:03:56.619
  • Was high blood pressure in your family?
  • 00:03:56.619 --> 00:03:58.321
  • Has there ever been heart disease in your family?
  • 00:03:58.321 --> 00:04:00.456
  • Has anybody else ever had cancer?
  • 00:04:00.456 --> 00:04:02.325
  • Is anybody else a diabetic?"
  • 00:04:02.325 --> 00:04:04.060
  • Why? because they know
  • 00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:05.295
  • If they can trace it through the bloodline,
  • 00:04:05.295 --> 00:04:07.297
  • That can help diagnose you, even the medical field.
  • 00:04:07.297 --> 00:04:11.267
  • So we have generational sicknesses that
  • 00:04:12.068 --> 00:04:14.570
  • They keep revisiting and revisiting.
  • 00:04:14.570 --> 00:04:16.773
  • Somebody asked me yesterday, said,
  • 00:04:16.773 --> 00:04:17.974
  • "ron, you ever had high blood pressure?"
  • 00:04:17.974 --> 00:04:19.642
  • I said, excuse me, the day before yesterday,
  • 00:04:19.642 --> 00:04:21.711
  • I said, "yes, i have very high at one time."
  • 00:04:21.711 --> 00:04:25.114
  • And i said, "i was hospitalized for it."
  • 00:04:25.114 --> 00:04:27.016
  • And they said, "when?"
  • 00:04:27.016 --> 00:04:27.850
  • I said, "age 35".
  • 00:04:27.850 --> 00:04:29.919
  • So i went back and asked my mama, i said,
  • 00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:31.654
  • "mama, i'm in the hospital
  • 00:04:31.654 --> 00:04:33.423
  • Because they cannot bring my blood pressure down."
  • 00:04:33.423 --> 00:04:35.958
  • I said, "is this anywhere in my family?"
  • 00:04:35.958 --> 00:04:37.927
  • She said, "your dad had it awful.
  • 00:04:37.927 --> 00:04:40.296
  • She said he was hospitalized."
  • 00:04:40.296 --> 00:04:42.732
  • I said, "when?"
  • 00:04:42.732 --> 00:04:43.533
  • She said, "he was 35."
  • 00:04:43.533 --> 00:04:44.767
  • - [congregation member] come on. come on.
  • 00:04:45.635 --> 00:04:49.772
  • - not just the same thing, but the same season in life.
  • 00:04:50.873 --> 00:04:56.312
  • It manifested in me just like it manifested in him.
  • 00:04:57.313 --> 00:05:00.583
  • You need to tell your neighbors, say,
  • 00:05:00.583 --> 00:05:02.118
  • "relax. we got to go through the bad to get to the good."
  • 00:05:02.118 --> 00:05:04.287
  • Come on.
  • 00:05:04.287 --> 00:05:05.221
  • (congregation laughs and applauds)
  • 00:05:05.221 --> 00:05:07.790
  • Just roll with me.
  • 00:05:07.790 --> 00:05:09.025
  • You got to address it to get liberated from it.
  • 00:05:09.025 --> 00:05:11.561
  • - [congregation] yes! amen!
  • 00:05:11.561 --> 00:05:12.495
  • - so what am i trying to do?
  • 00:05:12.495 --> 00:05:13.663
  • I'm trying to diagnose the problem
  • 00:05:13.663 --> 00:05:15.131
  • Before we shoot it full of medicine.
  • 00:05:15.131 --> 00:05:16.432
  • Come on, help me now.
  • 00:05:16.432 --> 00:05:17.934
  • So these are the things that we need to understand
  • 00:05:17.934 --> 00:05:21.137
  • That the enemy wants to sabotage life
  • 00:05:21.137 --> 00:05:24.374
  • Through what came through the bloodline.
  • 00:05:24.374 --> 00:05:26.409
  • He wants you to be strapped by it, trapped by it,
  • 00:05:26.409 --> 00:05:29.178
  • And never get away from it.
  • 00:05:29.178 --> 00:05:30.546
  • Those are called generational curses.
  • 00:05:30.546 --> 00:05:32.882
  • Those are things that come through the family
  • 00:05:32.882 --> 00:05:35.218
  • That keep your life pulled in
  • 00:05:35.218 --> 00:05:36.819
  • A downward, spiral-like gravity.
  • 00:05:36.819 --> 00:05:39.389
  • Are we clear about that?
  • 00:05:39.389 --> 00:05:40.623
  • Now, let me move to the new stuff.
  • 00:05:40.623 --> 00:05:42.959
  • Okay, isaiah 10, verse 27.
  • 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.862
  • Isaiah 10, verse 27,
  • 00:05:46.329 --> 00:05:49.399
  • "it shall come to pass in that day,"
  • 00:05:50.166 --> 00:05:52.435
  • Talking about the day we're living in.
  • 00:05:52.435 --> 00:05:54.137
  • Remember the prophets didn't all look at the end times.
  • 00:05:54.137 --> 00:05:57.407
  • They looked into the day of grace with jesus.
  • 00:05:57.407 --> 00:06:00.009
  • They longed for the day you get to live in
  • 00:06:00.009 --> 00:06:01.978
  • And i get to live in.
  • 00:06:01.978 --> 00:06:03.646
  • So in the day we're living in,
  • 00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:05.782
  • "it shall come to pass" that god's going to move like this,
  • 00:06:05.782 --> 00:06:10.953
  • "the burden will be taken away
  • 00:06:11.587 --> 00:06:13.055
  • From your shoulder and his yoke from your neck."
  • 00:06:13.055 --> 00:06:18.294
  • What's going to destroy it?
  • 00:06:18.895 --> 00:06:20.129
  • "and the yolk will be destroyed because
  • 00:06:20.129 --> 00:06:22.231
  • Of the anointing oil."
  • 00:06:22.231 --> 00:06:25.568
  • Do you know how few churches this morning
  • 00:06:26.469 --> 00:06:28.104
  • Even say the word, anointing?
  • 00:06:28.104 --> 00:06:31.274
  • But the fact is, if i'm not anointed,
  • 00:06:32.074 --> 00:06:34.644
  • You don't want me to be up here.
  • 00:06:34.644 --> 00:06:36.045
  • - [congregation] right. yep.
  • 00:06:36.045 --> 00:06:37.814
  • - oh, that's the biggest waste of your time in the world.
  • 00:06:38.948 --> 00:06:41.617
  • The anointing means the indwelling of the holy spirit,
  • 00:06:42.718 --> 00:06:47.557
  • His residency.
  • 00:06:47.924 --> 00:06:48.891
  • - [congregation] yes.
  • 00:06:48.891 --> 00:06:50.092
  • - that's what it means.
  • 00:06:50.092 --> 00:06:51.294
  • In the old testament, it was actual oil.
  • 00:06:51.294 --> 00:06:54.430
  • And god told him how to mix the oil,
  • 00:06:55.198 --> 00:06:58.367
  • According to the art of the perfumer.
  • 00:06:58.367 --> 00:07:01.270
  • In the new testament, remember old testament,
  • 00:07:01.270 --> 00:07:03.072
  • Everything is outer and physical.
  • 00:07:03.072 --> 00:07:04.674
  • In the new testament, everything's inner and spiritual.
  • 00:07:04.674 --> 00:07:07.310
  • So now, in the new testament, it's not all in a jar.
  • 00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:11.247
  • It's the oil that comes from the holy spirit living
  • 00:07:11.247 --> 00:07:13.983
  • On the inside of god's people.
  • 00:07:13.983 --> 00:07:15.485
  • (congregation applauds)
  • 00:07:15.485 --> 00:07:16.986
  • The anointing, stay with me now, this is important.
  • 00:07:16.986 --> 00:07:19.322
  • Some of you've heard it all your life
  • 00:07:19.322 --> 00:07:20.456
  • Some of you've never heard it.
  • 00:07:20.456 --> 00:07:21.757
  • The anointing is not just for people
  • 00:07:21.757 --> 00:07:23.960
  • With microphones and on stage.
  • 00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:25.261
  • - [congregation member] right.
  • 00:07:25.261 --> 00:07:26.863
  • - i need everybody to make this confession with me.
  • 00:07:26.863 --> 00:07:29.198
  • I am anointed. say that, i am anointed.
  • 00:07:29.198 --> 00:07:30.833
  • - [congregation] i am anointed.
  • 00:07:30.833 --> 00:07:32.201
  • - i don't need to touch your child
  • 00:07:32.201 --> 00:07:34.036
  • If he wakes up with 103 fever.
  • 00:07:34.036 --> 00:07:36.706
  • You can touch your child and break that fever
  • 00:07:36.706 --> 00:07:38.908
  • In the name of jesus.
  • 00:07:38.908 --> 00:07:40.376
  • You need to understand that you're anointed.
  • 00:07:40.376 --> 00:07:42.445
  • You don't have to get somebody to church to be healed.
  • 00:07:42.445 --> 00:07:45.481
  • The healing is not in this building.
  • 00:07:45.481 --> 00:07:47.250
  • The healing is in you.
  • 00:07:47.250 --> 00:07:48.317
  • You're the building.
  • 00:07:48.317 --> 00:07:49.552
  • You're the, this ain't the church.
  • 00:07:49.552 --> 00:07:50.853
  • You're the church
  • 00:07:50.853 --> 00:07:52.121
  • And the holy spirit lives inside of you.
  • 00:07:52.121 --> 00:07:54.290
  • You are the temple of the holy spirit
  • 00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:57.360
  • And wherever you go,
  • 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:58.628
  • You're carrying the holy spirit with you.
  • 00:07:58.628 --> 00:08:00.897
  • God shows up when you show up.
  • 00:08:00.897 --> 00:08:03.099
  • God shows up to the fever when you show up.
  • 00:08:03.099 --> 00:08:05.801
  • God shows up with a miracle when you show up,
  • 00:08:05.801 --> 00:08:08.504
  • Whatever god's going to do, he's going to use you to do it.
  • 00:08:08.504 --> 00:08:11.541
  • Somebody say, i'm the miracle.
  • 00:08:11.541 --> 00:08:13.442
  • - [congregation] i'm the miracle!
  • 00:08:13.442 --> 00:08:15.077
  • - everybody in this room is anointed.
  • 00:08:15.878 --> 00:08:18.080
  • All of you have an anointing.
  • 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:19.982
  • - [congregation member] praise the lord!
  • 00:08:20.816 --> 00:08:22.652
  • - when you get saved, the spirit of god comes
  • 00:08:22.652 --> 00:08:24.787
  • And lives on the inside of you.
  • 00:08:24.787 --> 00:08:26.255
  • There's a subsequent experience where you get filled,
  • 00:08:26.255 --> 00:08:28.624
  • Get baptized in the holy spirit, and you begin to speak
  • 00:08:28.624 --> 00:08:31.527
  • With other tongues as the spirit gives utterance.
  • 00:08:31.527 --> 00:08:33.729
  • And that's when the gifts of the spirit come alive.
  • 00:08:33.729 --> 00:08:36.098
  • And those gifts are healing, miracles, tongues,
  • 00:08:36.098 --> 00:08:38.968
  • Interpretations of tongues, words of wisdom,
  • 00:08:38.968 --> 00:08:41.404
  • Words of knowledge, and it's not just for church.
  • 00:08:41.404 --> 00:08:44.507
  • (congregation applauds and cheers)
  • 00:08:44.507 --> 00:08:47.777
  • It's the prophetic,
  • 00:08:47.777 --> 00:08:48.911
  • Man, if you are a stockbroker,
  • 00:08:48.911 --> 00:08:50.279
  • How powerful would it be to have the prophetic?
  • 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.015
  • - [congregation] yeah!
  • 00:08:53.015 --> 00:08:54.951
  • - just play tithe off of it?
  • 00:08:54.951 --> 00:09:01.490
  • When your company has a problem that cannot be solved,
  • 00:09:02.592 --> 00:09:05.461
  • How powerful would it be for you to be sitting
  • 00:09:05.461 --> 00:09:07.129
  • There with a word of wisdom and a word of knowledge?
  • 00:09:07.129 --> 00:09:09.098
  • (congregation applauds and cheers)
  • 00:09:09.098 --> 00:09:10.466
  • God just downloads information in you that you
  • 00:09:10.466 --> 00:09:12.501
  • Never studied in your life and you have
  • 00:09:12.501 --> 00:09:14.704
  • An answer for your company's dilemma.
  • 00:09:14.704 --> 00:09:16.906
  • That stuff ain't just for churches, for your life.
  • 00:09:16.906 --> 00:09:19.809
  • (congregation applauds and cheers)
  • 00:09:19.809 --> 00:09:22.111
  • God, we got to start talking about this.
  • 00:09:22.111 --> 00:09:23.980
  • We are missing out on so much.
  • 00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:28.651
  • And isaiah said, "in that day,
  • 00:09:29.285 --> 00:09:31.387
  • When people have the holy spirit living on the inside
  • 00:09:32.488 --> 00:09:35.591
  • Of them and they become the temple of the holy spirit,
  • 00:09:35.591 --> 00:09:39.395
  • It shall be that anointing that will destroy
  • 00:09:40.296 --> 00:09:44.000
  • The yoke and will lift the burden."
  • 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.204
  • Can i go a little bit deeper? we got time?
  • 00:09:49.105 --> 00:09:50.673
  • - [congregation] yes!
  • 00:09:50.673 --> 00:09:52.341
  • - now, hooh!
  • 00:09:52.675 --> 00:09:58.381
  • In the old testament, a yolk was something
  • 00:09:59.281 --> 00:10:04.420
  • That was used for oxen.
  • 00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:07.857
  • You know one thing that surprised me when i moved
  • 00:10:08.858 --> 00:10:11.160
  • And began to pastor on the west coast is
  • 00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:15.898
  • The tv never shows all the agriculture that's here.
  • 00:10:15.898 --> 00:10:19.335
  • Whenever you see tv,
  • 00:10:19.335 --> 00:10:20.569
  • You see san francisco, l.a., and san diego.
  • 00:10:20.569 --> 00:10:23.806
  • But i just, i never knew all the agriculture,
  • 00:10:24.707 --> 00:10:26.442
  • Beautiful agriculture.
  • 00:10:26.442 --> 00:10:28.711
  • And you see all the heavy machinery
  • 00:10:29.512 --> 00:10:32.815
  • With which they tend the land.
  • 00:10:32.815 --> 00:10:35.718
  • - [congregation member] yes.
  • 00:10:35.718 --> 00:10:36.952
  • - you got to understand in the old testament,
  • 00:10:36.952 --> 00:10:37.920
  • The ground was just as hard.
  • 00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:39.889
  • It had to be turned over to be made ready for seed
  • 00:10:40.923 --> 00:10:43.659
  • And men did not have the strength to do that.
  • 00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:46.328
  • That's why you see that blue diesel smoke
  • 00:10:46.328 --> 00:10:48.464
  • Blowing out that smoke stack on that tractor
  • 00:10:48.464 --> 00:10:50.299
  • When that disc goes down in that ground,
  • 00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:52.268
  • Because that's a hard pull.
  • 00:10:52.268 --> 00:10:54.537
  • And the job of that disc when it's planting season
  • 00:10:54.537 --> 00:10:56.872
  • Is to take the hard ground and turn it upside down
  • 00:10:56.872 --> 00:10:59.075
  • And bring the supple ground to the surface,
  • 00:10:59.075 --> 00:11:01.444
  • So that it can have seat.
  • 00:11:01.444 --> 00:11:05.081
  • So they used the ox.
  • 00:11:05.548 --> 00:11:08.150
  • The ox was a beast of burden.
  • 00:11:08.784 --> 00:11:10.786
  • It had the ability to pull unbelievable amounts of weight,
  • 00:11:10.786 --> 00:11:14.990
  • To shoulder much of the weight of what it would take
  • 00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:18.661
  • To till the land.
  • 00:11:18.661 --> 00:11:19.995
  • So here's the imagery that the bible is speaking from.
  • 00:11:21.097 --> 00:11:24.066
  • An ox was too great a beast to be controlled,
  • 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.638
  • Once it was mature.
  • 00:11:29.638 --> 00:11:32.508
  • A six-foot-two, 200 pound man,
  • 00:11:33.142 --> 00:11:35.044
  • It was not going control an ox.
  • 00:11:35.044 --> 00:11:38.180
  • So what would they do?
  • 00:11:38.681 --> 00:11:40.549
  • They would take the ox in its youth
  • 00:11:41.350 --> 00:11:45.454
  • And put a yoke around its neck.
  • 00:11:46.088 --> 00:11:50.326
  • And as the ox grew, the only thing the ox knew was the yolk.
  • 00:11:51.494 --> 00:12:02.304
  • - [hope] you said i was snoring
  • 00:12:02.938 --> 00:12:04.273
  • What does it sound like?
  • 00:12:04.273 --> 00:12:05.374
  • - [ron] scary at times.
  • 00:12:05.374 --> 00:12:06.709
  • - [hope laughs]
  • 00:12:06.709 --> 00:12:07.443

  • - [ron] no, i don█t. i blow.

  • - [ron] no, i don█t. i blow. - [hope] yes you do!
  • 00:12:09.211 --> 00:12:10.012
  • - [hope] you go-
  • 00:12:10.412 --> 00:12:11.280
  • - [hope fake snores]
  • 00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:12.314
  • - [hope fake snores] - [ron] your█s is like...
  • 00:12:12.314 --> 00:12:13.315
  • - [ron] have you ever watched jurassic world?
  • 00:12:13.315 --> 00:12:15.217
  • - [both laugh]
  • 00:12:15.217 --> 00:12:16.385
  • - [hope] but you hit me
  • 00:12:16.886 --> 00:12:17.887
  • And you will say,
  • 00:12:17.887 --> 00:12:18.788
  • “turn it over!
  • 00:12:18.788 --> 00:12:20.055
  • - [ron] “stop.” - [hope] you█re snoring so bad!”
  • 00:12:20.055 --> 00:12:20.790
  • - [hope] you█re snoring so bad!”
  • 00:12:20.790 --> 00:12:21.957
  • - [ron] but turning over
  • 00:12:21.957 --> 00:12:23.225
  • Didn█t help.
  • 00:12:23.225 --> 00:12:23.893
  • - [ron] nothing conquered it
  • 00:12:23.893 --> 00:12:24.493
  • - [ron] last night. - [hope] so why do you wake me?
  • 00:12:25.027 --> 00:12:26.328
  • - [hope] go in another room!
  • 00:12:26.929 --> 00:12:28.464
  • - [ron] i can█t.
  • 00:12:28.464 --> 00:12:29.598
  • - [hope] why?
  • 00:12:29.965 --> 00:12:30.900
  • - [ron] i█d rather stay awake. - [hope sighs]
  • 00:12:30.900 --> 00:12:31.834
  • - [hope sighs]
  • 00:12:31.834 --> 00:12:34.236
  • You know, the enemy doesn't just want you.
  • 00:12:35.137 --> 00:12:36.939
  • He wants your economy, he wants your children.
  • 00:12:36.939 --> 00:12:38.841
  • He wants your legacy because what he has is progressive.
  • 00:12:38.841 --> 00:12:42.011
  • And you've got to understand that unless you become
  • 00:12:42.011 --> 00:12:44.213
  • The one that stands between two generations and breaks it,
  • 00:12:44.213 --> 00:12:47.316
  • That it's just going to continue to increase.
  • 00:12:47.316 --> 00:12:49.685
  • Because what you do not confront, grows.
  • 00:12:49.685 --> 00:12:52.755

  • We're going to get back to that word in just a moment.
  • 00:13:36.699 --> 00:13:38.133
  • But i want to just break right here for just a second.
  • 00:13:38.133 --> 00:13:40.502
  • And i want to ask you, would you consider something?
  • 00:13:40.502 --> 00:13:43.505
  • I am always so grateful
  • 00:13:43.505 --> 00:13:44.940
  • To all of our wonderful covenant partners.
  • 00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:47.409
  • And maybe, people who aren't covenant partners,
  • 00:13:47.409 --> 00:13:49.578
  • But you give occasionally, some of you frequently,
  • 00:13:49.578 --> 00:13:52.815
  • Some of you whenever there's that ability.
  • 00:13:52.815 --> 00:13:55.584
  • But i want you to notice we didn't sell any ads
  • 00:13:55.584 --> 00:13:57.887
  • And we didn't have any sponsors,
  • 00:13:57.887 --> 00:13:59.121
  • And we didn't have any commercials
  • 00:13:59.121 --> 00:14:01.223
  • Because we believe the gospel of jesus,
  • 00:14:01.223 --> 00:14:04.159
  • That the people of god are so passionate
  • 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.528
  • About his message going forth,
  • 00:14:06.528 --> 00:14:08.998
  • The message of salvation and the message of his kingdom,
  • 00:14:08.998 --> 00:14:12.434
  • The way we can live an abundant life
  • 00:14:12.434 --> 00:14:14.536
  • Is the most important thing in the earth.
  • 00:14:14.536 --> 00:14:16.872
  • And we believe that with such a deep passion
  • 00:14:16.872 --> 00:14:19.875
  • That we give and we give sacrificially.
  • 00:14:19.875 --> 00:14:21.744
  • Would you consider?
  • 00:14:21.744 --> 00:14:23.078
  • Those of you who have been given
  • 00:14:23.712 --> 00:14:25.247
  • Your continued, faithful giving,
  • 00:14:25.247 --> 00:14:27.082
  • Those of you who may be occasionally,
  • 00:14:27.082 --> 00:14:29.218
  • Would you become a consistent giver?
  • 00:14:29.218 --> 00:14:30.886
  • Maybe, those of you who've been blessed,
  • 00:14:30.886 --> 00:14:32.588
  • But never given before.
  • 00:14:32.588 --> 00:14:33.789
  • Maybe, for the first time,
  • 00:14:33.789 --> 00:14:35.491
  • Becoming a monthly covenant partner or just a one-time gift.
  • 00:14:35.491 --> 00:14:39.061
  • But we want to do everything we can to stay on the air
  • 00:14:39.061 --> 00:14:41.830
  • And represent jesus christ in a very powerful,
  • 00:14:41.830 --> 00:14:45.768
  • And a very excellent way.
  • 00:14:45.768 --> 00:14:47.703
  • We have a great team of people right here
  • 00:14:47.703 --> 00:14:49.438
  • Who are just as passionate about it as i am.
  • 00:14:49.438 --> 00:14:51.907
  • And with you, the viewers, helping us do what we do,
  • 00:14:51.907 --> 00:14:54.743
  • There's no end to how many people we can reach.
  • 00:14:54.743 --> 00:14:57.012
  • We're in the greatest days ever
  • 00:14:57.012 --> 00:14:59.048
  • Of seeing more people save than we ever have before.
  • 00:14:59.048 --> 00:15:02.084
  • Would you help me go further?
  • 00:15:02.084 --> 00:15:04.019
  • Give now.
  • 00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:06.221
  • Good god almighty.
  • 00:15:06.655 --> 00:15:08.490
  • So the ox's life would take on the pattern of the yoke.
  • 00:15:09.625 --> 00:15:15.597
  • - [congregation member] amen.
  • 00:15:16.231 --> 00:15:17.399
  • - and it could be controlled by that yoke,
  • 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:21.770
  • Even though in reality,
  • 00:15:21.770 --> 00:15:23.372
  • It had power to overpower the person controlling it.
  • 00:15:23.372 --> 00:15:27.142
  • (congregation applauds)
  • 00:15:27.142 --> 00:15:28.978
  • But it didn't know it because it had been yolked
  • 00:15:28.978 --> 00:15:33.582
  • So early in life, it grew and all it knew was the yolk.
  • 00:15:33.582 --> 00:15:40.923
  • So you have the generational curses, nature.
  • 00:15:41.857 --> 00:15:45.094
  • But for those of you who need scientific data,
  • 00:15:46.028 --> 00:15:49.398
  • Now we have nurture.
  • 00:15:49.865 --> 00:15:52.801
  • Why do you think there is an unbelievable assault
  • 00:15:53.802 --> 00:15:59.074
  • Of perversion on our youth?
  • 00:15:59.675 --> 00:16:03.178
  • I've never seen a generation more confused in all my life.
  • 00:16:04.346 --> 00:16:11.253
  • And the first thing the enemy does
  • 00:16:12.021 --> 00:16:14.723
  • When he wants to sabotage a life is steal identity.
  • 00:16:14.723 --> 00:16:18.560
  • (congregation reacts)
  • 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:23.198
  • And we got a generation that don't know who they are.
  • 00:16:24.233 --> 00:16:27.236
  • So everybody's telling them, choose what you are.
  • 00:16:27.236 --> 00:16:30.005
  • - [congregation member] amen!
  • 00:16:30.005 --> 00:16:32.207
  • (congregation applauds)
  • 00:16:32.207 --> 00:16:33.976
  • - now, one thing i'm going to tell you
  • 00:16:33.976 --> 00:16:35.344
  • I'm going to preach it straight.
  • 00:16:35.344 --> 00:16:39.815
  • You know shadrach, meshach, abednego
  • 00:16:40.582 --> 00:16:42.584
  • When they put them in the fiery furnace?
  • 00:16:42.584 --> 00:16:43.952
  • Shadrach, meshach, and abednego, that's not their name.
  • 00:16:43.952 --> 00:16:47.089
  • The first thing the king did was change their name
  • 00:16:47.089 --> 00:16:50.459
  • Because if he can change their identity,
  • 00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:52.795
  • (congregation cheers and applauds)
  • 00:16:52.795 --> 00:16:56.098
  • Jesus never did anything till his father showed up
  • 00:16:56.098 --> 00:16:59.234
  • And said, "you are my son."
  • 00:16:59.234 --> 00:17:01.570
  • - [congregation member] come on.
  • 00:17:01.570 --> 00:17:03.105
  • - then he went out and started performing miracles.
  • 00:17:03.105 --> 00:17:06.108
  • That's why there's been an assault on the family
  • 00:17:06.108 --> 00:17:08.844
  • Because there is a part of the identity
  • 00:17:08.844 --> 00:17:11.413
  • That's shaped in a child that only a father can bring.
  • 00:17:11.413 --> 00:17:14.450
  • Fathers, you cannot be absent from your kid's life,
  • 00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:17.786
  • Whether you're a single parent or whether you're married,
  • 00:17:17.786 --> 00:17:20.189
  • You have got to be there because identity
  • 00:17:20.189 --> 00:17:23.058
  • Gets lost when you do not speak.
  • 00:17:23.058 --> 00:17:25.494
  • (congregation reacts and applauds)
  • 00:17:25.494 --> 00:17:27.596
  • You got to speak!
  • 00:17:27.596 --> 00:17:32.668
  • Man, this is good stuff.
  • 00:17:33.168 --> 00:17:35.104
  • I'm glad i'm not having do all them calisthenics day
  • 00:17:36.138 --> 00:17:38.207
  • Because i'm too hot. (congregation laughs)
  • 00:17:38.207 --> 00:17:42.678
  • Now, this is going to be a little rough to hear,
  • 00:17:42.678 --> 00:17:47.116
  • But work with me.
  • 00:17:47.116 --> 00:17:48.450
  • So he lets a seven-year old get molested
  • 00:17:49.284 --> 00:17:57.092
  • And 40 years old sitting in a therapy office,
  • 00:17:57.993 --> 00:18:00.829
  • With tears running down his face
  • 00:18:00.829 --> 00:18:03.098
  • Of every twisted thing that's happened
  • 00:18:03.932 --> 00:18:06.034
  • In a life that is now in ruin.
  • 00:18:06.034 --> 00:18:08.303
  • Because the enemy knew he couldn't control him in maturity,
  • 00:18:09.505 --> 00:18:13.242
  • He yolks them in their youth.
  • 00:18:13.242 --> 00:18:15.010
  • (congregation reacts and applauds)
  • 00:18:15.010 --> 00:18:19.348
  • Exposing kids to pornography when they
  • 00:18:19.348 --> 00:18:21.817
  • Have no ability to process what they're seeing.
  • 00:18:21.817 --> 00:18:27.189
  • And then all of a sudden they enter a twisted world
  • 00:18:28.190 --> 00:18:30.926
  • That now, they have to hide from everybody all their life.
  • 00:18:30.926 --> 00:18:33.896
  • And they live with the torment of knowing
  • 00:18:33.896 --> 00:18:36.598
  • There's something about me that i can't let you see.
  • 00:18:36.598 --> 00:18:41.236
  • It happened when they were early
  • 00:18:41.870 --> 00:18:44.706
  • And it yolks them when they're older.
  • 00:18:45.507 --> 00:18:47.509
  • I am preaching this thing right here
  • 00:18:47.509 --> 00:18:49.611
  • (congregation applauds)
  • 00:18:49.611 --> 00:18:50.812
  • To let them come through a cycle of poverty.
  • 00:18:50.812 --> 00:18:53.448
  • I'm going to tell you, i came through that.
  • 00:18:54.349 --> 00:18:55.717
  • It took me 10 years after i get married
  • 00:18:55.717 --> 00:18:59.788
  • To kind of, to understand my god was good.
  • 00:19:00.689 --> 00:19:05.561
  • It took me 10 years because all i saw was struggle.
  • 00:19:06.595 --> 00:19:11.833
  • And that's why i didn't want to be a preacher
  • 00:19:12.768 --> 00:19:13.702
  • Because i saw my dad's life
  • 00:19:13.702 --> 00:19:14.937
  • And i didn't like that part of it.
  • 00:19:14.937 --> 00:19:16.205
  • I was so sick of us not having nothing,
  • 00:19:16.205 --> 00:19:18.073
  • Not being able to buy anything,
  • 00:19:18.073 --> 00:19:19.174
  • Not being able to go anywhere.
  • 00:19:19.174 --> 00:19:21.310
  • One time my daddy did his taxes
  • 00:19:21.310 --> 00:19:23.412
  • And he went back and told the church board, he said,
  • 00:19:24.446 --> 00:19:25.480
  • "i qualify for food stamps."
  • 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.015
  • Church board said, "well, you need to go get you something."
  • 00:19:27.015 --> 00:19:29.518
  • That's the way we lived.
  • 00:19:29.518 --> 00:19:31.119
  • So what did i want to do?
  • 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:31.987
  • I wanted to be a coach.
  • 00:19:31.987 --> 00:19:33.222
  • I want to be a professional coach
  • 00:19:33.222 --> 00:19:34.723
  • And i want to get as far away from that world as i could.
  • 00:19:34.723 --> 00:19:37.092
  • And it took me 10 years to just understand my god
  • 00:19:37.092 --> 00:19:40.429
  • Is not wanting to see me struggle.
  • 00:19:40.429 --> 00:19:42.164
  • My god is a good god.
  • 00:19:42.164 --> 00:19:43.832
  • How? who knows your god is a good god?
  • 00:19:43.832 --> 00:19:46.201
  • - [congregation member] hallelujah!
  • 00:19:46.201 --> 00:19:47.402
  • (congregation applauds and cheers)
  • 00:19:47.402 --> 00:19:48.370
  • He has good plans for you.
  • 00:19:48.370 --> 00:19:49.938
  • The bible says, "if you being evil give good gifts
  • 00:19:49.938 --> 00:19:52.975
  • To your children, how much more will you god give good gifts
  • 00:19:52.975 --> 00:19:56.612
  • To them that love him?"
  • 00:19:56.612 --> 00:19:58.046
  • Your god is a good god and every good
  • 00:19:58.046 --> 00:20:00.582
  • And perfect gift comes down from above.
  • 00:20:00.582 --> 00:20:02.951
  • So if any of you come out of that hardship
  • 00:20:02.951 --> 00:20:05.020
  • Of lack and struggle, let me tell you something,
  • 00:20:05.020 --> 00:20:07.389
  • I break it now in the name of jesus.
  • 00:20:07.389 --> 00:20:09.992
  • Your god want you blessed.
  • 00:20:09.992 --> 00:20:11.560
  • Somebody shout, amen! - [congregation] amen!
  • 00:20:11.560 --> 00:20:14.196
  • - ah, tap your neighbor and said,
  • 00:20:14.930 --> 00:20:16.531
  • "blessed, blessed, blessed."
  • 00:20:16.531 --> 00:20:18.000
  • Come on, say, blessed. - [congregation] blessed!
  • 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:24.172
  • - my son who spent 12 years probably,
  • 00:20:24.973 --> 00:20:29.144
  • And i felt like i spent a million dollars trying
  • 00:20:30.112 --> 00:20:33.148
  • To get him off drugs, lost so much of his life,
  • 00:20:33.148 --> 00:20:36.685
  • Lost the first few years with his kid because of drug.
  • 00:20:36.685 --> 00:20:40.722
  • It was given to him at 12.
  • 00:20:40.722 --> 00:20:44.259
  • He said, "dad, it put a taste
  • 00:20:44.893 --> 00:20:46.395
  • In my mouth that i could not shake."
  • 00:20:46.395 --> 00:20:53.669
  • And then, what happens?
  • 00:20:54.169 --> 00:20:56.138
  • As he gets older, his life takes on
  • 00:20:56.138 --> 00:20:59.508
  • The pattern of a drug addict.
  • 00:20:59.508 --> 00:21:04.513
  • The only problem is when you get older,
  • 00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:07.849
  • The consequences are higher.
  • 00:21:07.849 --> 00:21:09.651
  • - [congregation member] amen.
  • 00:21:10.285 --> 00:21:11.887
  • - so when you're young, it's basically your problem.
  • 00:21:11.887 --> 00:21:15.057
  • But when you're an adult,
  • 00:21:15.057 --> 00:21:16.291
  • It's everybody's problem connected to you.
  • 00:21:16.291 --> 00:21:18.794
  • (congregation reacts)
  • 00:21:18.794 --> 00:21:20.629
  • Hallelujah. these are the yolks.
  • 00:21:20.629 --> 00:21:24.566
  • These are the things that happen.
  • 00:21:24.566 --> 00:21:28.470
  • These are the things that usually happen
  • 00:21:29.338 --> 00:21:32.140
  • In youth and thing that happened in childhood.
  • 00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:34.109
  • If you hadn't read my wife's book,
  • 00:21:34.109 --> 00:21:35.944
  • "most beautiful disaster".
  • 00:21:35.944 --> 00:21:37.646
  • She's talked about it many times, raped and lost a virginity
  • 00:21:37.646 --> 00:21:40.949
  • Through a rape at age 15 and never told a soul.
  • 00:21:40.949 --> 00:21:46.021
  • We didn't know it till our world was falling apart
  • 00:21:47.055 --> 00:21:49.424
  • And i saw my wife fall into pieces
  • 00:21:49.424 --> 00:21:51.159
  • And i didn't know what was wrong with her.
  • 00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:53.495
  • And then it all comes out,
  • 00:21:53.495 --> 00:21:56.365
  • Lost her virginity in a trailer to a rape
  • 00:21:56.365 --> 00:22:00.001
  • With a guy that took her off and did that.
  • 00:22:00.902 --> 00:22:03.238
  • Never told a soul.
  • 00:22:03.238 --> 00:22:04.206
  • What happens?
  • 00:22:04.206 --> 00:22:06.408
  • - [congregation member] yep.
  • 00:22:07.008 --> 00:22:08.276
  • - and your life takes on the pattern of the rape.
  • 00:22:08.276 --> 00:22:11.813
  • - [congregation member] come on.
  • 00:22:11.813 --> 00:22:16.051
  • - so he says, "the anointing destroys the yoke
  • 00:22:17.018 --> 00:22:22.824
  • And removes the burden."
  • 00:22:23.325 --> 00:22:24.459
  • Let me talk about the burden.
  • 00:22:24.459 --> 00:22:25.894
  • Are you still with me?
  • 00:22:25.894 --> 00:22:26.795
  • - [congregation] yes.
  • 00:22:26.795 --> 00:22:28.663
  • - did they still do the things for the baby carousels?
  • 00:22:29.765 --> 00:22:32.200
  • I've been out to the baby business a while.
  • 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:33.769
  • - [congregation] yes.
  • 00:22:33.769 --> 00:22:35.003
  • - where they have the little carousels
  • 00:22:35.003 --> 00:22:36.238
  • And all the little things dangling?
  • 00:22:36.238 --> 00:22:37.472
  • You remember they should do that.
  • 00:22:37.472 --> 00:22:38.373
  • Is that still out there
  • 00:22:38.373 --> 00:22:39.841
  • Or is it now they doing an ipad on the side of the crib?
  • 00:22:39.841 --> 00:22:41.510
  • (congregation laughs)
  • 00:22:41.510 --> 00:22:50.118
  • Had a man come in my office one time
  • 00:22:50.886 --> 00:22:52.788
  • With his woman who was with his woman,
  • 00:22:52.788 --> 00:22:54.656
  • With his wife who was in tears.
  • 00:22:54.656 --> 00:22:56.691
  • And he was just a raging alcoholic.
  • 00:22:56.691 --> 00:22:59.661
  • And he couldn't understand why she was
  • 00:23:00.495 --> 00:23:02.464
  • So tore up about his problem.
  • 00:23:02.464 --> 00:23:04.599
  • And i found me one of these carousels,
  • 00:23:05.434 --> 00:23:06.668
  • I went in the nursery and got it.
  • 00:23:06.668 --> 00:23:08.637
  • And i took one of those little animals and i pulled it.
  • 00:23:09.704 --> 00:23:12.073
  • And when i pulled it, all of them shifted.
  • 00:23:12.073 --> 00:23:15.544
  • I said, "this is what you're doing to your family."
  • 00:23:16.578 --> 00:23:19.848
  • This right here is you and everybody
  • 00:23:20.615 --> 00:23:22.584
  • Has to move to accommodate it.
  • 00:23:22.584 --> 00:23:27.422
  • That's the burden.
  • 00:23:27.856 --> 00:23:29.391
  • The anointing destroys the, (mic thuds)
  • 00:23:30.192 --> 00:23:33.295
  • But it removes the burden because every yolk has a burden.
  • 00:23:33.295 --> 00:23:37.299
  • Talk to the person who's gambling is out of control.
  • 00:23:38.366 --> 00:23:41.503
  • And now, they've been evicted
  • 00:23:42.137 --> 00:23:43.672
  • From their house and they cannot qualify for a loan.
  • 00:23:43.672 --> 00:23:46.575
  • And some places don't even handle it legally.
  • 00:23:47.509 --> 00:23:49.611
  • They just somebody show up at your house
  • 00:23:49.611 --> 00:23:52.080
  • Because that's the burden.
  • 00:23:52.647 --> 00:23:54.249
  • What's the, the yolk is promiscuity. you're promiscuous.
  • 00:23:55.350 --> 00:23:59.554
  • What's the burden?
  • 00:23:59.554 --> 00:24:01.056
  • The burden is soul ties and unwanted relationships,
  • 00:24:02.090 --> 00:24:04.593
  • And feeling devalued, and feeling empty,
  • 00:24:04.593 --> 00:24:07.662
  • And the bible says, here's the thing about the anointing.
  • 00:24:07.662 --> 00:24:10.832
  • It breaks the pop and it removes
  • 00:24:11.466 --> 00:24:15.036
  • The burden that came with it.
  • 00:24:15.036 --> 00:24:17.138
  • (congregation applauds and cheers)
  • 00:24:17.138 --> 00:24:18.306
  • Everybody that has been yoked by anything,
  • 00:24:18.306 --> 00:24:20.942
  • There is a burden.
  • 00:24:20.942 --> 00:24:22.344
  • If it's a drug addiction, there's a burden.
  • 00:24:22.344 --> 00:24:24.145
  • If it's a perverted or twisted lifestyle, there is a burden.
  • 00:24:24.145 --> 00:24:27.115
  • If nothing else, just the burden
  • 00:24:27.115 --> 00:24:28.583
  • Of trying to maintain it or hide it
  • 00:24:28.583 --> 00:24:30.218
  • From the people that love you, that's the burden of it.
  • 00:24:30.218 --> 00:24:32.654
  • So god said, i'm not just going to break the thing
  • 00:24:32.654 --> 00:24:35.123
  • Off your neck, he said, but the weight
  • 00:24:35.123 --> 00:24:37.292
  • That it is put on you and everybody around you,
  • 00:24:37.292 --> 00:24:39.928
  • I'm going to lift that weight.
  • 00:24:39.928 --> 00:24:41.296
  • That's why when jesus came on the scene,
  • 00:24:41.296 --> 00:24:43.231
  • Look what he said, "take my yoke upon you."
  • 00:24:43.231 --> 00:24:46.301
  • Ahh! "and learn of me
  • 00:24:46.301 --> 00:24:48.803
  • For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
  • 00:24:48.803 --> 00:24:52.707
  • God said, "let me take the reins of your life.
  • 00:24:52.707 --> 00:24:56.177
  • Grow up into me because i'll lead you
  • 00:24:56.177 --> 00:24:58.880
  • Into the paths of blessing."
  • 00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:00.248
  • Come on, somebody!
  • 00:25:00.248 --> 00:25:01.683
  • Oh, "the lord is my shepherd i shall not want.
  • 00:25:01.683 --> 00:25:04.386
  • He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
  • 00:25:04.386 --> 00:25:07.289
  • He leads me beside still waters.
  • 00:25:07.289 --> 00:25:09.291
  • He restores my soul and yea though i walk
  • 00:25:09.291 --> 00:25:11.826
  • Through the valley of the shadow of death,
  • 00:25:11.826 --> 00:25:14.162
  • I will fear no evil for thou art with me.
  • 00:25:14.162 --> 00:25:16.932
  • Your rod and your staff comfort me.
  • 00:25:16.932 --> 00:25:18.967
  • You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
  • 00:25:18.967 --> 00:25:22.304
  • You anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over.
  • 00:25:22.304 --> 00:25:25.340
  • Surely, goodness and mercy.
  • 00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:27.342
  • Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
  • 00:25:27.342 --> 00:25:31.012
  • Of my life and i will dwell in his house forever!
  • 00:25:31.012 --> 00:25:33.715
  • Shout hallelujah!
  • 00:25:33.715 --> 00:25:35.283
  • His yolk is easy. his burden is light!
  • 00:25:35.283 --> 00:25:38.219
  • (congregation cheers and applauds)
  • 00:25:38.987 --> 00:25:40.322
  • (keyboard playing)
  • 00:25:40.322 --> 00:25:44.626
  • Whoo! hey! (congregation cheer)
  • 00:25:45.327 --> 00:25:50.765
  • You don't have to be trapped.
  • 00:25:51.399 --> 00:25:52.901
  • You don't have to stay under that burden.
  • 00:25:52.901 --> 00:25:55.003
  • You don't have to stay under that weight.
  • 00:25:55.003 --> 00:25:57.105
  • There is an anointing in this room
  • 00:25:57.105 --> 00:25:59.774
  • That has the ability to break that off your life forever.
  • 00:25:59.774 --> 00:26:03.478
  • Shout, hallelujah!
  • 00:26:03.478 --> 00:26:04.980
  • (congregation cheers and applauds)
  • 00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:07.148
  • (keyboard playing)
  • 00:26:07.148 --> 00:26:10.352
  • (keyboard playing continues)
  • 00:26:10.952 --> 00:26:15.824
  • I want to take a moment before you get off the air
  • 00:26:16.858 --> 00:26:18.793
  • Because i think it would be tragic for you to have stayed
  • 00:26:18.793 --> 00:26:22.230
  • With me these last few minutes and given me this much
  • 00:26:22.230 --> 00:26:25.500
  • Of your time and me not have a chance to lead you to jesus.
  • 00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:29.037
  • Whether you're deficient, whether you're depleted,
  • 00:26:29.037 --> 00:26:31.373
  • Whether life is pretty good, or whether life is tragic,
  • 00:26:31.373 --> 00:26:34.876
  • Everybody needs a savior.
  • 00:26:34.876 --> 00:26:37.078
  • Everybody has that void deep down the inside,
  • 00:26:37.078 --> 00:26:39.681
  • That success, significance, money,
  • 00:26:39.681 --> 00:26:42.317
  • Nothing else will satisfy.
  • 00:26:42.317 --> 00:26:44.886
  • Only jesus can satisfy the longings of the heart
  • 00:26:44.886 --> 00:26:48.056
  • And i want to offer you jesus today.
  • 00:26:48.823 --> 00:26:50.859
  • It's this simple, would you pray with me?
  • 00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:52.460
  • It goes like this.
  • 00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:53.762
  • Jesus, come into my heart.
  • 00:26:53.762 --> 00:26:55.730
  • Be my lord and savior.
  • 00:26:56.231 --> 00:26:57.999
  • I believe you are the son of god.
  • 00:26:57.999 --> 00:27:00.235
  • I believe you died and rose
  • 00:27:00.835 --> 00:27:02.203
  • On the third day so i could be saved.
  • 00:27:02.203 --> 00:27:04.005
  • I ask you to forgive me of my sins.
  • 00:27:04.005 --> 00:27:06.408
  • Make my heart your home.
  • 00:27:06.408 --> 00:27:08.443
  • I receive your gift of salvation in jesus name, amen.
  • 00:27:08.443 --> 00:27:13.782
  • And just like that, you've been saved.
  • 00:27:14.616 --> 00:27:15.984
  • You've been born again.
  • 00:27:15.984 --> 00:27:16.918
  • Now, you got to let us know.
  • 00:27:16.918 --> 00:27:18.353
  • So write in, call, do whatever you have to.
  • 00:27:18.353 --> 00:27:20.689
  • We want to know what god has done in your life.
  • 00:27:20.689 --> 00:27:20.689
