  • - so god stepped back
  • 00:00:01.385 --> 00:00:02.620
  • And let the situation get worse
  • 00:00:02.620 --> 00:00:04.989
  • So he could reveal himself
  • 00:00:04.989 --> 00:00:06.624
  • In a way that nobody had ever seen him before.
  • 00:00:06.624 --> 00:00:09.326
  • I wonder, some of you
  • 00:00:09.326 --> 00:00:11.095
  • That are watching something get worse
  • 00:00:11.095 --> 00:00:13.464
  • And it's just deteriorating right in front of your eyes,
  • 00:00:13.464 --> 00:00:16.700
  • I wonder if the whole thing is a setup
  • 00:00:16.700 --> 00:00:19.170
  • Because god wants to show himself to you
  • 00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:21.972
  • In a way you've never seen him before,
  • 00:00:21.972 --> 00:00:24.475
  • And when he gets through working this miracle in your life,
  • 00:00:24.475 --> 00:00:28.112
  • God will never have to come back
  • 00:00:28.112 --> 00:00:30.081
  • And spur your faith on again.
  • 00:00:30.081 --> 00:00:32.249
  • You've seen too much, and you know too much,
  • 00:00:32.249 --> 00:00:34.919
  • And you will not be moved.
  • 00:00:34.919 --> 00:00:37.621
  • Shout hallelujah!
  • 00:00:38.055 --> 00:00:39.457
  • (uplifting music)
  • 00:00:39.457 --> 00:00:59.043
  • When you talk about the working of miracles,
  • 00:00:59.944 --> 00:01:03.314
  • Usually, when the miracle is a process,
  • 00:01:03.314 --> 00:01:06.283
  • Stay with me, 'cause i want you to get this,
  • 00:01:06.283 --> 00:01:08.752
  • Because there's so much debate over the miraculous
  • 00:01:09.787 --> 00:01:12.123
  • In church circles, and even in scholarly circles.
  • 00:01:12.123 --> 00:01:18.195
  • Usually, when there's a process involved,
  • 00:01:19.096 --> 00:01:21.966
  • That means god has to create some type of capacity in you
  • 00:01:21.966 --> 00:01:26.904
  • So that when the miracle comes, you can sustain it.
  • 00:01:27.905 --> 00:01:31.876
  • (congregants applauding) - is it
  • 00:01:32.576 --> 00:01:34.445
  • Like so many of the lottery winners are broke.
  • 00:01:34.445 --> 00:01:41.619
  • How can a boxer who's made $440 million over his career
  • 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:46.757
  • Be broke?
  • 00:01:46.757 --> 00:01:49.393
  • Because there was not the capacity
  • 00:01:50.161 --> 00:01:52.029
  • To sustain that level of economy.
  • 00:01:52.029 --> 00:01:56.233
  • And there are people that i've seen get bonafide miracles
  • 00:01:57.368 --> 00:02:00.938
  • And you see 'em a year later
  • 00:02:00.938 --> 00:02:02.373
  • And they are right back in the same mess they were in.
  • 00:02:02.373 --> 00:02:07.011
  • That's nothing against the miracle,
  • 00:02:07.011 --> 00:02:09.146
  • That's something about their capacity
  • 00:02:09.146 --> 00:02:11.015
  • To walk in what god did them,
  • 00:02:11.015 --> 00:02:14.051
  • What god did for them.
  • 00:02:14.051 --> 00:02:15.653
  • And i don't see it in any other place in the bible.
  • 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:19.423
  • You got healings and miracles,
  • 00:02:19.423 --> 00:02:20.925
  • And this is gonna be a year of healings and miracles,
  • 00:02:20.925 --> 00:02:22.860
  • And we're gonna have a healing and miracle service,
  • 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:24.929
  • And all that is right,
  • 00:02:24.929 --> 00:02:26.397
  • And if you've heard people do it, and we've done it,
  • 00:02:26.397 --> 00:02:27.698
  • There's nothing about that that is incorrect.
  • 00:02:27.698 --> 00:02:30.434
  • But there are some miracles that are a work.
  • 00:02:30.434 --> 00:02:33.938
  • They are a work.
  • 00:02:34.305 --> 00:02:35.673
  • Nobody likes a work, nobody claps over a work,
  • 00:02:35.673 --> 00:02:38.275
  • Nobody celebrates over a work,
  • 00:02:38.275 --> 00:02:40.411
  • But sometime the-
  • 00:02:40.411 --> 00:02:41.679
  • See, if god is gonna give you a miracle,
  • 00:02:41.679 --> 00:02:44.215
  • He wants you to walk in that miracle 20 years from now,
  • 00:02:44.215 --> 00:02:47.151
  • Not two months, and be right back
  • 00:02:47.151 --> 00:02:49.353
  • In the same situation that you were in.
  • 00:02:49.353 --> 00:02:51.288
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:02:51.288 --> 00:02:52.823
  • So i wanna take some biblical examples
  • 00:02:52.823 --> 00:02:55.292
  • Of how god did a work inside of a miracle,
  • 00:02:55.292 --> 00:02:59.496
  • To maybe give you an idea
  • 00:02:59.496 --> 00:03:01.065
  • Of why you go through some of the things
  • 00:03:01.065 --> 00:03:03.234
  • You have to go through.
  • 00:03:03.234 --> 00:03:04.301
  • I have had some miracles
  • 00:03:04.301 --> 00:03:05.669
  • That came the moment it came out of my mouth.
  • 00:03:05.669 --> 00:03:09.306
  • There were things before
  • 00:03:09.306 --> 00:03:10.841
  • That i have preached out of my mouth and declared them,
  • 00:03:10.841 --> 00:03:13.978
  • And they were waiting on me when i got home.
  • 00:03:13.978 --> 00:03:16.780
  • There were things where i went to altars,
  • 00:03:17.648 --> 00:03:19.383
  • And people laid hands on me, and prayed for me,
  • 00:03:19.383 --> 00:03:21.585
  • And it was instantaneous,
  • 00:03:21.585 --> 00:03:23.254
  • And that migraine felt like
  • 00:03:23.254 --> 00:03:24.588
  • It was gonna take my head off my shoulders,
  • 00:03:24.588 --> 00:03:26.857
  • And it disappeared immediately,
  • 00:03:26.857 --> 00:03:29.126
  • And i went back to my seat
  • 00:03:29.126 --> 00:03:30.427
  • And enjoyed the whole rest of the service.
  • 00:03:30.427 --> 00:03:32.663
  • I have had those. (congregants applauding)
  • 00:03:32.663 --> 00:03:34.598
  • But i have also seen the cocaine addict
  • 00:03:34.598 --> 00:03:37.167
  • Who got up from the altar
  • 00:03:37.167 --> 00:03:38.736
  • Threw his drug paraphernalia all over the stage,
  • 00:03:38.736 --> 00:03:41.338
  • I've been there,
  • 00:03:41.338 --> 00:03:42.840
  • And got up, never wanted it again, never did it again,
  • 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.776
  • And never desired it again.
  • 00:03:45.776 --> 00:03:47.544
  • That is a miracle! (congregants applauding)
  • 00:03:47.544 --> 00:03:50.114
  • And i have also seen an addict
  • 00:03:50.114 --> 00:03:52.783
  • That went through a year of rehab,
  • 00:03:52.783 --> 00:03:54.885
  • Found his faith in god,
  • 00:03:55.386 --> 00:03:57.621
  • Went through bible study to bible study,
  • 00:03:57.621 --> 00:04:00.357
  • Had to change his atmosphere,
  • 00:04:00.357 --> 00:04:02.493
  • Had to move out of town, away from-
  • 00:04:02.493 --> 00:04:04.328
  • Y'all ain't saying nothing.
  • 00:04:04.328 --> 00:04:05.329
  • Come on, this is a word.
  • 00:04:05.329 --> 00:04:06.530
  • They got to the same place,
  • 00:04:06.530 --> 00:04:08.632
  • (congregants applauding)
  • 00:04:08.632 --> 00:04:09.933
  • But god had to take them through a process
  • 00:04:09.933 --> 00:04:12.002
  • Why?
  • 00:04:12.002 --> 00:04:12.936
  • So that the miracle can last
  • 00:04:12.936 --> 00:04:15.005
  • Long after the moment is over.
  • 00:04:15.005 --> 00:04:17.007
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:04:17.007 --> 00:04:21.011
  • One is no less than the other,
  • 00:04:21.011 --> 00:04:23.981
  • It's just a work.
  • 00:04:23.981 --> 00:04:25.482
  • So today, there will be some people that come up here
  • 00:04:26.517 --> 00:04:28.819
  • And god will complete a thing, it'll be finished.
  • 00:04:28.819 --> 00:04:32.089
  • There'll be others that'll come up here
  • 00:04:32.089 --> 00:04:33.524
  • And god will begin a thing,
  • 00:04:33.524 --> 00:04:35.592
  • But don't go out the door and say,
  • 00:04:35.592 --> 00:04:36.960
  • "well, man, she got hers, i didn't get mine."
  • 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:38.762
  • No, she was instant, you're in a work.
  • 00:04:38.762 --> 00:04:41.699
  • (congregants applauding) - amen.
  • 00:04:41.699 --> 00:04:43.400
  • - you're gonna get it,
  • 00:04:43.400 --> 00:04:45.469
  • It's yours just as much as it was hers,
  • 00:04:45.469 --> 00:04:48.639
  • - [congregants] right.
  • 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.973
  • - but god's got to do something in your life
  • 00:04:49.973 --> 00:04:51.542
  • That may be already complete in hers.
  • 00:04:51.542 --> 00:04:53.377
  • Y'all ain't saying nothing.
  • 00:04:53.377 --> 00:04:54.678
  • Come on, i'm gonna make you stay with me here.
  • 00:04:54.678 --> 00:04:56.580
  • We are going to be a church
  • 00:04:56.580 --> 00:04:58.482
  • Of signs, and wonders, and miracles.
  • 00:04:58.482 --> 00:05:00.651
  • We are gonna be a house
  • 00:05:00.651 --> 00:05:02.319
  • Where people can come in here
  • 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.188
  • And just lift their hands and praise god,
  • 00:05:04.188 --> 00:05:06.390
  • And miracles are gonna happen all over the room,
  • 00:05:06.390 --> 00:05:08.859
  • Deliverance over there, miracle here,
  • 00:05:08.859 --> 00:05:10.894
  • A marriage being restored here,
  • 00:05:10.894 --> 00:05:12.529
  • A son that's lost
  • 00:05:12.529 --> 00:05:13.797
  • Walking through the door and getting saved,
  • 00:05:13.797 --> 00:05:15.065
  • Or stuff just happening all over the room.
  • 00:05:15.065 --> 00:05:17.701
  • But don't get disappointed
  • 00:05:17.701 --> 00:05:19.703
  • When your suddenly doesn't happen
  • 00:05:19.703 --> 00:05:23.407
  • And it turns to a process.
  • 00:05:23.407 --> 00:05:25.275
  • God is no less god,
  • 00:05:25.275 --> 00:05:27.444
  • And it doesn't mean you didn't get your miracle,
  • 00:05:27.444 --> 00:05:29.813
  • - right, amen. (congregants applauding)
  • 00:05:29.813 --> 00:05:32.583
  • - okay?
  • 00:05:32.583 --> 00:05:33.550
  • Is that good preaching so far?
  • 00:05:33.550 --> 00:05:34.818
  • Is that all right? - yeah (applauding).
  • 00:05:34.818 --> 00:05:36.286
  • Let me give you an example of what i'm talking about.
  • 00:05:36.286 --> 00:05:37.755
  • Let me show you a few examples right here, all right?
  • 00:05:37.755 --> 00:05:40.257
  • Now, the first one i wanna start with
  • 00:05:40.257 --> 00:05:42.726
  • Is the story of lazarus,
  • 00:05:43.227 --> 00:05:44.495
  • John chapter 11,
  • 00:05:44.495 --> 00:05:45.896
  • Go to verses 4 through 7, then verse 15.
  • 00:05:45.896 --> 00:05:48.532
  • John chapter 11.
  • 00:05:48.532 --> 00:05:49.767
  • Lazarus was jesus' friend, the bible says,
  • 00:05:49.767 --> 00:05:52.002
  • He was the friend of jesus,
  • 00:05:52.002 --> 00:05:53.804
  • And lazarus was the brother of mary and martha,
  • 00:05:53.804 --> 00:05:56.974
  • So you got mary, martha, and lazarus.
  • 00:05:56.974 --> 00:05:58.475
  • Lazarus got sick, jesus caught wind of it.
  • 00:05:58.475 --> 00:06:02.212
  • This is also where you have the story
  • 00:06:02.212 --> 00:06:04.548
  • That includes the smallest scripture in the bible:
  • 00:06:04.548 --> 00:06:07.184
  • "jesus wept."
  • 00:06:07.184 --> 00:06:08.519
  • He wept when he heard about lazarus's death,
  • 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.021
  • So this is that scripture, right here.
  • 00:06:11.021 --> 00:06:12.990
  • "when jesus heard that,
  • 00:06:12.990 --> 00:06:14.258
  • He said, 'this sickness is not unto death, but'"
  • 00:06:14.258 --> 00:06:18.028
  • Listen now,
  • 00:06:18.028 --> 00:06:19.596
  • "'but for the glory of god.'"
  • 00:06:20.230 --> 00:06:22.332
  • - [congregant] yes,
  • 00:06:22.332 --> 00:06:25.569
  • - sometimes what you going through ain't even about you.
  • 00:06:26.703 --> 00:06:29.706
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:06:29.706 --> 00:06:33.277
  • We're so me and my, and me and i, and mine, me, and me,
  • 00:06:33.277 --> 00:06:37.448
  • And that ain't even,
  • 00:06:37.448 --> 00:06:38.415
  • But god ain't got you in mind.
  • 00:06:38.415 --> 00:06:40.150
  • (congregants laughing)
  • 00:06:40.150 --> 00:06:42.152
  • - [congregant] amen.
  • 00:06:42.152 --> 00:06:43.153
  • You are a part of something
  • 00:06:43.153 --> 00:06:44.488
  • So much bigger. - yes. (applauding)
  • 00:06:44.488 --> 00:06:48.025
  • - and it's not about the concentration of your tiny miracle,
  • 00:06:48.025 --> 00:06:51.762
  • Which, in the scheme of things, to god, is so small.
  • 00:06:51.762 --> 00:06:54.064
  • It's so big to you, but it's so small to god.
  • 00:06:54.064 --> 00:06:58.335
  • But what god is doing
  • 00:06:58.335 --> 00:06:59.603
  • Is a part of such a much bigger picture.
  • 00:06:59.603 --> 00:07:01.572
  • Something is gonna happen right here
  • 00:07:01.572 --> 00:07:03.874
  • That we're still talking about 2,000 years later.
  • 00:07:03.874 --> 00:07:07.678
  • It was bigger than lazarus being sick.
  • 00:07:08.512 --> 00:07:12.282
  • "he said, 'this is not a sickness unto death.
  • 00:07:12.282 --> 00:07:14.818
  • It's for the glory of god
  • 00:07:14.818 --> 00:07:16.220
  • That the son of man may be glorified through it.'"
  • 00:07:16.220 --> 00:07:18.622
  • Next verse.
  • 00:07:18.622 --> 00:07:20.324
  • Excuse me.
  • 00:07:20.624 --> 00:07:22.125
  • "now, jesus loved martha, and her sister, and lazarus,
  • 00:07:22.125 --> 00:07:24.928
  • So he heard that he was sick and he stayed two more days."
  • 00:07:24.928 --> 00:07:29.132
  • Now, what is jesus?
  • 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.934
  • He's healing everybody.
  • 00:07:30.934 --> 00:07:33.136
  • The bible says he went around doing good
  • 00:07:33.971 --> 00:07:35.806
  • And healing all that were sick and afflicted of the devil,
  • 00:07:35.806 --> 00:07:39.576
  • Everybody, all, a-l-l,
  • 00:07:40.077 --> 00:07:43.213
  • So when he left the town, there was no sick people,
  • 00:07:43.213 --> 00:07:46.250
  • But he hears about his friend and don't move,
  • 00:07:47.184 --> 00:07:52.856
  • Stays there two more days.
  • 00:07:53.423 --> 00:07:56.159
  • "so when he heard he was sick,"
  • 00:07:56.793 --> 00:07:58.929
  • This is gonna be the working of a miracle,
  • 00:07:58.929 --> 00:08:01.298
  • "he stayed two more days in the place where he was."
  • 00:08:02.366 --> 00:08:04.268
  • Next verse.
  • 00:08:04.268 --> 00:08:05.502
  • "then after, he said to his disciples,
  • 00:08:05.502 --> 00:08:06.670
  • 'let's go to judea again.'"
  • 00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:08.672
  • I think it's around verse 15, yeah.
  • 00:08:08.672 --> 00:08:10.774
  • Then he came, and he says,
  • 00:08:10.774 --> 00:08:12.342
  • "'i'm glad for your sake that i didn't come two days ago,
  • 00:08:12.342 --> 00:08:17.014
  • That you may believe.
  • 00:08:17.514 --> 00:08:19.116
  • Nevertheless, let's go on to him.'"
  • 00:08:19.116 --> 00:08:21.952
  • Okay, what has he just gotten word?
  • 00:08:21.952 --> 00:08:23.587
  • He's gotten word that he's died,
  • 00:08:23.587 --> 00:08:25.889
  • And he said, "i'm glad i didn't come."
  • 00:08:25.889 --> 00:08:29.159
  • So he stayed two days on purpose,
  • 00:08:29.826 --> 00:08:32.095
  • The sickness went to death.
  • 00:08:32.095 --> 00:08:34.231
  • When he heard he'd died, he said,
  • 00:08:34.231 --> 00:08:35.999
  • "i'm glad i didn't come
  • 00:08:35.999 --> 00:08:38.368
  • For your sake."
  • 00:08:38.368 --> 00:08:40.003
  • Lazarus ain't even been mentioned yet.
  • 00:08:40.003 --> 00:08:44.007
  • Lazarus meets the miracle.
  • 00:08:44.575 --> 00:08:46.643
  • He said, "this is for the glory of god,
  • 00:08:46.643 --> 00:08:48.579
  • And this is for your sakes."
  • 00:08:48.579 --> 00:08:51.882
  • When god gives you a gift, it's for the prophet of?
  • 00:08:52.883 --> 00:08:55.385
  • - [congregants] all,
  • 00:08:55.385 --> 00:08:56.553
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:08:57.354 --> 00:09:01.124
  • "'and i'm glad for your sake i was not there.'"
  • 00:09:01.124 --> 00:09:03.026
  • Next verse, whatever it was, one i gave you.
  • 00:09:03.026 --> 00:09:04.595
  • I know i kinda picked and chose
  • 00:09:04.595 --> 00:09:05.896
  • 'cause this is a long chapter.
  • 00:09:05.896 --> 00:09:07.898
  • So he got where lazarus was,
  • 00:09:07.898 --> 00:09:09.299
  • He said, "'take away the stone.'
  • 00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:11.368
  • Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said,
  • 00:09:11.368 --> 00:09:13.170
  • 'lord, by this time, there's a stench.
  • 00:09:13.170 --> 00:09:14.738
  • He's been dead four days.'
  • 00:09:14.738 --> 00:09:17.407
  • Jesus said, "'did i not say to you,
  • 00:09:17.407 --> 00:09:20.944
  • Why do i have to repeat myself,
  • 00:09:21.578 --> 00:09:23.714
  • (congregants laughing)
  • 00:09:23.714 --> 00:09:25.148
  • Did i not tell you
  • 00:09:25.148 --> 00:09:26.450
  • This wasn't about a tomb, about a lazarus,
  • 00:09:26.450 --> 00:09:28.452
  • And it wasn't about a guy?
  • 00:09:28.452 --> 00:09:30.454
  • This is about the glory of god.
  • 00:09:30.454 --> 00:09:32.322
  • (congregants applauding)
  • 00:09:32.322 --> 00:09:33.724
  • For your sakes, there's something that needs to happen,
  • 00:09:33.724 --> 00:09:36.293
  • And something where god needs to be glorified.'"
  • 00:09:36.293 --> 00:09:38.862
  • Next verse.
  • 00:09:38.862 --> 00:09:40.130
  • "and he who'd died came out
  • 00:09:40.731 --> 00:09:42.299
  • Bound hand and foot with graveclothes,
  • 00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:43.967
  • And his face was wrapped in a cloth,
  • 00:09:43.967 --> 00:09:45.335
  • And jesus said, 'loose him and let him go.'"
  • 00:09:45.335 --> 00:09:47.571
  • Jesus swarmed up to that tomb
  • 00:09:47.571 --> 00:09:49.373
  • And said "lazarus, come forth,"
  • 00:09:49.373 --> 00:09:51.274
  • And he came out of the tomb.
  • 00:09:51.274 --> 00:09:52.576
  • Now, what happened here?
  • 00:09:52.576 --> 00:09:55.178
  • Jesus let it deteriorate on purpose.
  • 00:09:55.946 --> 00:10:04.321
  • Why?
  • 00:10:04.521 --> 00:10:06.256
  • Why would he do that?
  • 00:10:06.757 --> 00:10:08.759
  • Because jesus had already been going around healing.
  • 00:10:09.793 --> 00:10:14.765
  • The bible talks in 2 corinthians in verse 3
  • 00:10:15.666 --> 00:10:19.002
  • About going faith to faith
  • 00:10:19.002 --> 00:10:22.339
  • And glory to glory.
  • 00:10:22.806 --> 00:10:26.309
  • Glory has levels.
  • 00:10:26.743 --> 00:10:28.912
  • So here comes this problem, and jesus says
  • 00:10:29.780 --> 00:10:34.317
  • It ain't about that, this is a setup.
  • 00:10:34.317 --> 00:10:37.220
  • What if everything you're going through
  • 00:10:38.055 --> 00:10:39.523
  • Just is a set up?
  • 00:10:39.523 --> 00:10:40.691
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:10:40.691 --> 00:10:43.093
  • What if your nerves are shot
  • 00:10:43.093 --> 00:10:45.228
  • And god's like, "oh, if you only knew,
  • 00:10:45.228 --> 00:10:47.731
  • This whole thing's just a set up.
  • 00:10:47.731 --> 00:10:49.633
  • I'm about to show myself to you
  • 00:10:49.633 --> 00:10:51.168
  • In such a way like you ain't never seen in your life.
  • 00:10:51.168 --> 00:10:53.904
  • If you could just wipe the tears out of your eyes,
  • 00:10:53.904 --> 00:10:56.640
  • Get the anxiety out of your heart for a moment,
  • 00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:58.809
  • And believe me, if i'm ever gonna do a thing,
  • 00:10:58.809 --> 00:11:01.745
  • I'm gonna do a thing this year."
  • 00:11:01.745 --> 00:11:03.113
  • Come on, somebody.
  • 00:11:03.113 --> 00:11:04.281
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:11:04.281 --> 00:11:05.682
  • He let it deteriorate on purpose until he died. why?
  • 00:11:05.682 --> 00:11:09.152
  • Everybody had seen a healing glory,
  • 00:11:09.152 --> 00:11:12.189
  • But nobody had seen somebody raised from the dead,
  • 00:11:12.189 --> 00:11:15.726
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:11:15.726 --> 00:11:18.729
  • And so the whole thing
  • 00:11:18.729 --> 00:11:20.731
  • Was to get people to believe god on the next level,
  • 00:11:20.731 --> 00:11:24.167
  • So god stepped back and let the situation get worse
  • 00:11:24.167 --> 00:11:27.938
  • So he could reveal himself
  • 00:11:27.938 --> 00:11:29.539
  • In a way that nobody had ever seen him before.
  • 00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:32.242
  • I wonder, some of you that are watching something get worse
  • 00:11:32.242 --> 00:11:36.346
  • And it's just deteriorating right in front of your eyes,
  • 00:11:36.346 --> 00:11:39.649
  • I wonder if the whole thing is a setup
  • 00:11:39.649 --> 00:11:42.052
  • Because god wants to show himself to you
  • 00:11:42.052 --> 00:11:44.888
  • In a way you've never seen him before,
  • 00:11:44.888 --> 00:11:47.390
  • And when he gets through working this miracle in your life,
  • 00:11:47.390 --> 00:11:51.161
  • God will never have to come back
  • 00:11:51.161 --> 00:11:53.096
  • And spur your faith on again.
  • 00:11:53.096 --> 00:11:55.265
  • You've seen too much, and you know too much,
  • 00:11:55.265 --> 00:11:58.101
  • And you will not be moved.
  • 00:11:58.101 --> 00:12:00.704
  • Shout, hallelujah. - hallelujah!
  • 00:12:01.438 --> 00:12:03.607
  • - tell three people, say,
  • 00:12:03.607 --> 00:12:04.708

  • (uplifting music)
  • 00:12:08.645 --> 00:12:38.008
  • You are seeing god break in the room
  • 00:12:38.775 --> 00:12:41.077
  • And saying, "you might not see me in fleshly form,
  • 00:12:41.077 --> 00:12:43.914
  • But you are seeing me move."
  • 00:12:43.914 --> 00:12:45.549
  • Paul said it this way,
  • 00:12:45.549 --> 00:12:46.750
  • I did not come
  • 00:12:46.750 --> 00:12:48.051
  • With wise or persuasive words of man's wisdom,
  • 00:12:48.051 --> 00:12:50.453
  • But i came in the power and in the demonstration
  • 00:12:50.453 --> 00:12:53.190

  • And starting this relationship with us.
  • 00:15:26.843 --> 00:15:28.778
  • We would love for you to be a part of the partnership
  • 00:15:28.778 --> 00:15:32.449
  • Of this entire ministry
  • 00:15:32.449 --> 00:15:33.984
  • So together, we can see god reap the harvest
  • 00:15:33.984 --> 00:15:37.220
  • That his son, jesus christ, paid a heavy price for.
  • 00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:40.390
  • Thank you for all you do.
  • 00:15:40.390 --> 00:15:42.826
  • Now let's get back to the word.
  • 00:15:42.826 --> 00:15:46.496
  • Mark chapter 5.
  • 00:15:46.863 --> 00:15:52.402
  • There's another take on this,
  • 00:15:53.036 --> 00:15:55.071
  • These healings and these miracles.
  • 00:15:55.839 --> 00:15:59.876
  • God showed me this about 20 years ago,
  • 00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:03.213
  • And i preached it one time in a little metal building
  • 00:16:03.213 --> 00:16:05.648
  • With a couple of hundred people,
  • 00:16:05.648 --> 00:16:07.417
  • And i haven't preached it since.
  • 00:16:07.417 --> 00:16:11.321
  • This is the woman, the bible says, with the issue of blood,
  • 00:16:12.489 --> 00:16:16.126
  • Which means she was hemorrhaging from her female anatomy.
  • 00:16:16.126 --> 00:16:19.462
  • She was hemorrhaging blood,
  • 00:16:19.462 --> 00:16:20.764
  • She was bleeding, she couldn't get it stopped,
  • 00:16:20.764 --> 00:16:22.465
  • And anybody who's ever lost great amounts of blood know
  • 00:16:22.465 --> 00:16:24.768
  • That that comes with great weakness
  • 00:16:24.768 --> 00:16:27.103
  • Because the life of a thing is in the blood.
  • 00:16:27.103 --> 00:16:29.739
  • Leviticus chapter 22, the life of anything is in the blood.
  • 00:16:30.907 --> 00:16:35.678
  • That's why if you bleed out, you die.
  • 00:16:35.678 --> 00:16:38.548
  • That's why if the doctor wants to find something,
  • 00:16:39.482 --> 00:16:41.918
  • He takes samples of your?
  • 00:16:41.918 --> 00:16:45.488
  • 'cause everything is in the blood,
  • 00:16:46.256 --> 00:16:50.160
  • Which is why jesus had to shed perfect blood
  • 00:16:51.094 --> 00:16:54.731
  • To clean up all of our messed-up blood.
  • 00:16:55.565 --> 00:16:57.867
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:16:57.867 --> 00:17:00.336
  • "and a certain woman which had an issue of blood."
  • 00:17:00.336 --> 00:17:02.872
  • Ain't that sad when you're only known for your issue.
  • 00:17:02.872 --> 00:17:08.478
  • That's so sad that we don't even know her name,
  • 00:17:09.479 --> 00:17:11.481
  • We just know what her issue is.
  • 00:17:11.481 --> 00:17:14.517
  • "a certain woman who had an issue of blood for 12 years
  • 00:17:15.652 --> 00:17:18.688
  • And suffered many things by many physicians
  • 00:17:19.556 --> 00:17:21.458
  • And spent all she had and was nothing bettered
  • 00:17:21.458 --> 00:17:23.760
  • But rather grew worse,
  • 00:17:23.760 --> 00:17:25.695
  • She heard,
  • 00:17:25.995 --> 00:17:27.297
  • She had heard of jesus,
  • 00:17:27.297 --> 00:17:29.065
  • Came in and pressed behind and touched his garment,
  • 00:17:29.065 --> 00:17:32.735
  • For, she said, 'if i may touch his clothes,
  • 00:17:33.636 --> 00:17:35.438
  • I shall be made whole.'"
  • 00:17:35.438 --> 00:17:38.708
  • - amen. (congregants applauding)
  • 00:17:38.708 --> 00:17:40.743
  • - different word here.
  • 00:17:40.743 --> 00:17:45.682
  • Listen to me.
  • 00:17:46.049 --> 00:17:49.786
  • Fact check me, go google and fact check me, okay?
  • 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:55.859
  • Everybody that jesus touched was healed,
  • 00:17:56.726 --> 00:18:04.567
  • But the people who touched jesus were made whole.
  • 00:18:05.568 --> 00:18:09.606
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:18:09.606 --> 00:18:12.976
  • - [congregant] amen.
  • 00:18:12.976 --> 00:18:16.813
  • - oh, oh.
  • 00:18:17.113 --> 00:18:18.281
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:18:18.281 --> 00:18:22.218
  • The people who come down here
  • 00:18:22.218 --> 00:18:25.088
  • Who want relief,
  • 00:18:25.088 --> 00:18:28.224
  • But they have no intention
  • 00:18:28.791 --> 00:18:31.327
  • In building, and developing, and cultivating
  • 00:18:32.262 --> 00:18:34.497
  • A relationship with god,
  • 00:18:34.497 --> 00:18:35.465
  • When they walk out that door,
  • 00:18:35.465 --> 00:18:38.701
  • You'll get a healing,
  • 00:18:39.202 --> 00:18:41.237
  • But the word there for whole has a double meaning.
  • 00:18:42.238 --> 00:18:44.707
  • Number one, it means nothing missing and nothing broken.
  • 00:18:44.707 --> 00:18:49.512
  • The people that turn around
  • 00:18:50.113 --> 00:18:51.881
  • And press through whatever they have to to pursue him, okay,
  • 00:18:51.881 --> 00:18:56.719
  • They drive in miserable rain to get to church,
  • 00:18:56.719 --> 00:18:59.622
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:18:59.622 --> 00:19:02.692
  • Okay?
  • 00:19:02.692 --> 00:19:04.994
  • They wanna get under the word
  • 00:19:05.628 --> 00:19:07.931
  • No matter how inconvenient
  • 00:19:07.931 --> 00:19:09.499
  • Or how much their 3-year-old showed out that morning, okay?
  • 00:19:09.499 --> 00:19:11.868
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:19:11.868 --> 00:19:15.705
  • They'll have a flat tire, and call a uber,
  • 00:19:15.705 --> 00:19:17.440
  • And leave the car on the road,
  • 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:18.641
  • And uber on in to church.
  • 00:19:18.641 --> 00:19:20.143
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:19:20.143 --> 00:19:22.545
  • Those who pursue on that level,
  • 00:19:22.545 --> 00:19:26.950
  • They're doing something way past the healing.
  • 00:19:26.950 --> 00:19:29.052
  • The second meaning of that word hold
  • 00:19:29.052 --> 00:19:31.387
  • Is to be moved from harm to safety,
  • 00:19:31.387 --> 00:19:37.493
  • Okay?
  • 00:19:37.727 --> 00:19:39.362
  • In other words, it means
  • 00:19:39.362 --> 00:19:41.030
  • The thing which had chased her for 12 years
  • 00:19:41.030 --> 00:19:46.269
  • Can no longer reach her
  • 00:19:46.769 --> 00:19:48.404
  • Because since she pursued him,
  • 00:19:49.038 --> 00:19:52.141
  • He didn't just heal her,
  • 00:19:52.141 --> 00:19:54.043
  • He took her to a place of infirmity,
  • 00:19:54.043 --> 00:19:56.479
  • To a place where the infirmity will never come back around
  • 00:19:56.479 --> 00:19:59.649
  • And revisit her again
  • 00:19:59.649 --> 00:20:01.017
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:20:01.017 --> 00:20:01.918
  • In other words, you don't wait
  • 00:20:01.918 --> 00:20:03.319
  • Till your next asthma attack.
  • 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:05.421
  • All y'all ain't saying nothing.
  • 00:20:05.421 --> 00:20:06.689
  • You don't wait till your next panic attack.
  • 00:20:06.689 --> 00:20:09.359
  • You don't wait till your next diagnosis.
  • 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:12.328
  • You don't wait till it returns.
  • 00:20:12.328 --> 00:20:14.831
  • God, when you pursue him,
  • 00:20:14.831 --> 00:20:16.633
  • He'll move you out of the place of difficulty
  • 00:20:16.633 --> 00:20:19.469
  • And move you into the place of safety,
  • 00:20:19.469 --> 00:20:21.738
  • And god will put a hedge around you,
  • 00:20:21.738 --> 00:20:23.673
  • Come on, somebody,
  • 00:20:23.673 --> 00:20:24.941
  • And everything that's trying to get you,
  • 00:20:24.941 --> 00:20:26.442
  • It'll be like sand through its fingers
  • 00:20:26.442 --> 00:20:28.544
  • Because god will put a hedge in such a way
  • 00:20:28.544 --> 00:20:31.247
  • You have been delivered
  • 00:20:31.247 --> 00:20:32.515
  • From (congregants applauding)
  • 00:20:32.515 --> 00:20:36.386
  • Whatever it was.
  • 00:20:36.386 --> 00:20:37.987
  • It's akin to this.
  • 00:20:37.987 --> 00:20:39.389
  • It's the same language
  • 00:20:39.389 --> 00:20:41.157
  • As when god put a red sea
  • 00:20:41.157 --> 00:20:44.093
  • Between pharaoh and the israelites,
  • 00:20:44.093 --> 00:20:47.030
  • And then when they tried to cross on the same dry ground,
  • 00:20:47.030 --> 00:20:49.632
  • The sea closed,
  • 00:20:49.632 --> 00:20:50.867
  • Meaning what?
  • 00:20:50.867 --> 00:20:52.435
  • The thing which used to chase me cannot chase me anymore
  • 00:20:52.435 --> 00:20:56.873
  • Because god has put a line of separation
  • 00:20:56.873 --> 00:20:59.208
  • Between me and between it.
  • 00:20:59.208 --> 00:21:01.477
  • Whoo, ron carpenter, you preaching!
  • 00:21:01.477 --> 00:21:02.879
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:21:02.879 --> 00:21:03.980
  • I am about to make myself happy.
  • 00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:05.748
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:21:05.748 --> 00:21:07.617
  • How many of you wanna be separated
  • 00:21:07.617 --> 00:21:09.152
  • From the thing that's been trying to harm you?
  • 00:21:09.152 --> 00:21:11.187
  • You want lives, or you want what?
  • 00:21:11.187 --> 00:21:12.655
  • God, put some walls, put some grand canyons,
  • 00:21:12.655 --> 00:21:15.792
  • Put some ditches,
  • 00:21:15.792 --> 00:21:16.959
  • Put some mine fields
  • 00:21:16.959 --> 00:21:18.528
  • In between me and the enemy that's been chasing after me.
  • 00:21:18.528 --> 00:21:21.798
  • I am ready to pursue god in such a way
  • 00:21:21.798 --> 00:21:24.734
  • There's nothing missing, nothing broken.
  • 00:21:24.734 --> 00:21:26.836
  • My home is healed, my marriage is healed, my body's healed,
  • 00:21:26.836 --> 00:21:30.206
  • My mind is healed, my emotions are healed,
  • 00:21:30.206 --> 00:21:32.675
  • My job is healed, my career is healed, my money is healed,
  • 00:21:32.675 --> 00:21:36.045
  • My relationships,
  • 00:21:36.045 --> 00:21:37.313
  • I want you to put it all back together again.
  • 00:21:37.313 --> 00:21:40.016
  • (dramatic music)
  • 00:21:40.016 --> 00:21:43.286
  • Somebody say, hold. - hold.
  • 00:21:43.953 --> 00:21:47.023
  • - now, the last working of a miracle,
  • 00:21:47.824 --> 00:21:53.830
  • Trying to show you how these things work.
  • 00:21:54.697 --> 00:22:00.436
  • I'll tell you what, instead of reading it,
  • 00:22:01.337 --> 00:22:02.271
  • Just let me tell you.
  • 00:22:02.271 --> 00:22:04.574
  • Jesus came up,
  • 00:22:04.941 --> 00:22:07.210
  • So you have healed, you have whole,
  • 00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:11.013
  • Then there was a man with a withered hand, where jesus,
  • 00:22:12.148 --> 00:22:16.085
  • I've referred to that many times during an altar call,
  • 00:22:16.085 --> 00:22:18.354
  • Jesus said, "stretch out your hand."
  • 00:22:18.354 --> 00:22:20.156
  • The thing i love about that story
  • 00:22:20.156 --> 00:22:21.724
  • Is jesus never told him which one to stretch out,
  • 00:22:21.724 --> 00:22:24.160
  • And he had one good one.
  • 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.195
  • That's the thing i love about that story.
  • 00:22:26.195 --> 00:22:27.463
  • And if, say, jesus walked up to me,
  • 00:22:27.463 --> 00:22:29.298
  • And i had one good hand and one bad one,
  • 00:22:29.298 --> 00:22:30.767
  • Said, "stretch out your hand,"
  • 00:22:30.767 --> 00:22:31.701
  • I'd stretch out my good one,
  • 00:22:31.701 --> 00:22:34.270
  • But jesus had a way to create an atmosphere
  • 00:22:35.171 --> 00:22:37.840
  • Where people could reveal weaknesses.
  • 00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:41.611
  • Ah, love that.
  • 00:22:41.978 --> 00:22:43.112
  • Let us be a church, god,
  • 00:22:43.112 --> 00:22:45.081
  • Where people can come and reveal their withered hand.
  • 00:22:46.182 --> 00:22:48.151
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:22:48.151 --> 00:22:49.485
  • Let us be a church like that.
  • 00:22:49.485 --> 00:22:50.686
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:22:50.686 --> 00:22:55.658
  • And the bible says as he stretched it out,
  • 00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:59.929
  • Whether by birth or by injury, i guess it was a nub,
  • 00:22:59.929 --> 00:23:02.532
  • It says
  • 00:23:02.532 --> 00:23:04.233
  • It was restored,
  • 00:23:04.600 --> 00:23:07.303
  • Healed, whole, restored.
  • 00:23:07.804 --> 00:23:14.444
  • So the word restored means to create a new structure,
  • 00:23:15.511 --> 00:23:22.718
  • But joel says that god will restore to you
  • 00:23:23.619 --> 00:23:27.924
  • Everything that the locusts have eaten,
  • 00:23:27.924 --> 00:23:29.926
  • Basically meaning life,
  • 00:23:29.926 --> 00:23:32.094
  • Everything that life has taken from you,
  • 00:23:32.962 --> 00:23:34.464
  • God will restore it,
  • 00:23:34.464 --> 00:23:35.832
  • And joel goes on to say, god will even redeem time.
  • 00:23:35.832 --> 00:23:38.901
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:23:38.901 --> 00:23:41.838
  • Seriously, i cannot believe
  • 00:23:41.838 --> 00:23:43.172
  • I was in that abusive thing for three years,
  • 00:23:43.172 --> 00:23:44.707
  • I feel like i've lost three years,
  • 00:23:44.707 --> 00:23:45.708
  • But god redeems time,
  • 00:23:45.708 --> 00:23:47.477
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:23:47.477 --> 00:23:50.546
  • Okay?
  • 00:23:50.546 --> 00:23:51.848
  • But in the restoration in joel 2
  • 00:23:52.482 --> 00:23:55.251
  • And the restoration right here
  • 00:23:55.251 --> 00:23:56.786
  • In this scripture about the withered hand,
  • 00:23:56.786 --> 00:23:59.655
  • The word means to create a new structure
  • 00:23:59.655 --> 00:24:03.593
  • If you want god to miraculously restore to your life
  • 00:24:03.593 --> 00:24:08.097
  • What's been lost.
  • 00:24:08.097 --> 00:24:09.632
  • Had a guy, a while, just,
  • 00:24:10.199 --> 00:24:11.667
  • They told me he's lost $20 million in the last month,
  • 00:24:11.667 --> 00:24:14.504
  • He said, "i've lost $20 million."
  • 00:24:14.504 --> 00:24:16.305
  • I looked at him and said,
  • 00:24:16.305 --> 00:24:17.640
  • "you know god can restore that, don't you?"
  • 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:19.175
  • He looked at me like he wasn't sure.
  • 00:24:19.175 --> 00:24:21.310
  • I said, "oh, that so? yeah, god'll restore that."
  • 00:24:22.345 --> 00:24:25.181
  • I said, "i've lost everything about four times."
  • 00:24:25.181 --> 00:24:28.217
  • I said, "i promise you god will restore it,"
  • 00:24:28.217 --> 00:24:30.753
  • And he looked at me like he had some hope.
  • 00:24:30.753 --> 00:24:32.255
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:24:32.255 --> 00:24:33.890
  • But the bible says he created a new structure.
  • 00:24:33.890 --> 00:24:36.993
  • Many times,
  • 00:24:36.993 --> 00:24:38.427
  • Before god gives you the miracle in your marriage,
  • 00:24:38.427 --> 00:24:41.497
  • He'll make you create a new structure to your marriage
  • 00:24:41.497 --> 00:24:45.001
  • Because it was the old structure
  • 00:24:45.635 --> 00:24:47.436
  • That allowed you to lose it in the first place.
  • 00:24:47.436 --> 00:24:49.438
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:24:49.438 --> 00:24:51.040
  • And if god's gonna restore your money,
  • 00:24:51.040 --> 00:24:52.942
  • He'll make you have a new structure with your money,
  • 00:24:52.942 --> 00:24:54.110
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:24:54.110 --> 00:24:56.846
  • Because it was the way you used to structure it
  • 00:24:56.846 --> 00:24:59.115
  • That let you lose it in the first place.
  • 00:24:59.115 --> 00:25:01.117
  • Y'all ain't saying nothing to me.
  • 00:25:01.117 --> 00:25:02.919
  • (congregants applauding and cheering)
  • 00:25:02.919 --> 00:25:04.220
  • And if god is going to restore your health,
  • 00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:06.556
  • He might let you live out some new health habits
  • 00:25:06.556 --> 00:25:09.959
  • Because it was your last habits
  • 00:25:09.959 --> 00:25:11.794
  • That caused you to lose it in the first place.
  • 00:25:11.794 --> 00:25:14.297
  • I know it's hard to clap when i'm standing on your toe,
  • 00:25:14.297 --> 00:25:17.166
  • But that's right here.
  • 00:25:17.166 --> 00:25:18.734
  • This is good preaching up in here.
  • 00:25:18.734 --> 00:25:20.836
  • There are people in here
  • 00:25:20.836 --> 00:25:22.071
  • In the next few minutes, god's gonna heal,
  • 00:25:22.071 --> 00:25:24.307
  • There are people in here
  • 00:25:24.307 --> 00:25:25.708
  • In the next few minutes, god is going to make whole,
  • 00:25:25.708 --> 00:25:27.910
  • There are people in here
  • 00:25:27.910 --> 00:25:29.178
  • In the next few minutes, god is going to restore,
  • 00:25:29.178 --> 00:25:31.881
  • And there are people that are gonna get a suddenly,
  • 00:25:31.881 --> 00:25:34.317
  • And there are people that god is gonna start a process,
  • 00:25:34.317 --> 00:25:37.253
  • But everybody's going to get
  • 00:25:37.253 --> 00:25:39.021
  • What god told you you could have
  • 00:25:39.021 --> 00:25:41.490
  • In jesus' name.
  • 00:25:41.490 --> 00:25:42.892
  • Would you stand on your feet all over the building,
  • 00:25:42.892 --> 00:25:44.827
  • Turn around to three or four people,
  • 00:25:44.827 --> 00:25:45.895
  • And say, "god's about to do it."
  • 00:25:45.895 --> 00:25:47.430
  • Tell 'em, "god's about to do it."
  • 00:25:47.430 --> 00:25:51.000
  • You know what, you may be watching,
  • 00:25:51.734 --> 00:25:53.135
  • And i don't know what made you stop.
  • 00:25:53.135 --> 00:25:56.038
  • I don't know if you're roaming through the channels,
  • 00:25:56.038 --> 00:25:58.641
  • I don't know if you are curious,
  • 00:25:58.641 --> 00:26:00.743
  • I don't know if there wasn't anything better on,
  • 00:26:00.743 --> 00:26:03.446
  • I don't know if you are watching out of some deficiency,
  • 00:26:04.547 --> 00:26:06.616
  • Or may be at one of the most hurtful, desperate places
  • 00:26:06.616 --> 00:26:10.386
  • You've ever been.
  • 00:26:10.386 --> 00:26:11.687
  • I don't know why you may be here,
  • 00:26:11.687 --> 00:26:13.689
  • But i do know this,
  • 00:26:13.689 --> 00:26:15.224
  • What i can't fix and what nobody around you can fix,
  • 00:26:15.224 --> 00:26:19.028
  • Jesus can.
  • 00:26:19.028 --> 00:26:20.162
  • Jesus does not wait till you get your problem solved,
  • 00:26:21.197 --> 00:26:23.766
  • And he says, "i'll accept you now."
  • 00:26:23.766 --> 00:26:25.301
  • No, the bible says his arm is not short,
  • 00:26:25.301 --> 00:26:27.970
  • And he'll reach to right where you are,
  • 00:26:27.970 --> 00:26:29.605
  • And he'll take you just like you are.
  • 00:26:29.605 --> 00:26:31.641
  • He never leaves you like you are,
  • 00:26:31.641 --> 00:26:34.010
  • But he'll meet you right where you are.
  • 00:26:34.010 --> 00:26:36.045
  • And i'd love for you to know him.
  • 00:26:36.045 --> 00:26:37.279
  • If you don't know him,
  • 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:38.414
  • Would you pray this prayer with me?
  • 00:26:38.414 --> 00:26:39.315
  • Say, "i thank you, jesus,
  • 00:26:39.315 --> 00:26:40.716
  • That you paid a sacrifice for my salvation.
  • 00:26:41.651 --> 00:26:44.053
  • I believe you died and rose on the third day
  • 00:26:44.053 --> 00:26:46.288
  • That i might be saved.
  • 00:26:46.288 --> 00:26:48.290
  • I ask you to come into my heart,
  • 00:26:48.290 --> 00:26:49.759
  • Be my lord and savior,
  • 00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.926
  • Forgive me of my sins,
  • 00:26:50.926 --> 00:26:52.094
  • Wash me clean in the blood of jesus.
  • 00:26:52.094 --> 00:26:55.364
  • I give you my life from this moment forward.
  • 00:26:56.265 --> 00:26:57.767
  • Thank you for saving me.
  • 00:26:57.767 --> 00:26:58.668
  • In jesus' name, amen.
  • 00:26:58.668 --> 00:27:01.070
  • And when you put your faith in him,
  • 00:27:01.070 --> 00:27:02.772
  • Just like that, everything changes.
